Paper Rated As Excellent
N.H.S.P.A. Critic Commends the Staff Of Last Semester Typography, news writing, makeup, headlines and the overaJl-appearance of last semester's Advocate are described as "excellent " by Harold Hamil, direct or of the school of journalism at the University of Nebraska in a recent letter to the Advocate staff from t he Nebraska Critic Service of the N ebraska High School Press association. Mr. Hamil, who judged three consecutive issues of the Advocate of last semester, stated that t he news coverage and sports department were outstanding, and mentioned that the paper "conta ins many articles which have interest for persons outside the school." Mr. Hamil wrote, "You have an o utstanding paper . Little more ·cau. be said." Suggestions for improving the paper w ere also offered. He questioned the frequent use of agate or very small type on the first page, and suggested breaking down opening paragraphs, since he l:)elieves, "A lead paragraph which r uns more than five lines is uninviting." Headlines were praised by Mr. Hamil, who said, "I think ' your staff does an unusually good job of p utting the gist of a story in a headline."

Flying Attracts Jack l{nudson Jack Knudson, Lincoln high senior, learn ed to fly this summer at the Lincoln Flying School. Jack now has about 32 hours in the air. After his first eight hours, h e completed the requirements for a solo pilot's license. Being very fond of his n ew hobby, Jack and five other companion fliers purchased an airplane from an Omaha concern. The plane, Jack said, is a "Funk" ; red in color with a wheel control instead of the usual stick contr ol in most training type planes. It is a bit faster than a Piper Cub, he believes. The plane cost the boys about $1,050. W ith all the wartime restrictions now in effect, flying is a little more limited as far as distance is concerned. When Jack. has completed a certain r equirement ot hom·s and flyiT:g, h e wili receive his pilot's license and may take up pa ssengers. He hopes to etick to fl ying and believes it is a wise thing to Imow how to fly in modern wartime.

Club Chooses New Members Results of Mummer's Try-Outs Released
Carl Orness Of the s ixty pupils trying out for membership in the Mummers, In Washington j unior and senior d r:amatic club, is
"Senior Technical BKaminer" the official title of Carl J . Orness, head of the trades preparatory department, who is now on leave of absence in Washington, D. C., doing a bigger bit for Uncle Sam in this w ar situa tion. Examining applications and rating each one for the "Skilled Trades and industries" is the new occupation of Mr. Orness. Another interesting tasl{ is to revise a nu .-o onit mechanical aptit ude t ests which are u sea "" "~ln indicate an applicant's m echanical experiences and a bilities. In h is r ecent lett er in which he subscribed for the Advocate, Mr. Orness stressed the value of knowing h ow to fill in and interpret application blanks showing employment experien ce. "M a n y times a person is rated low. because the application form is not carefully studied and properly answe.r ed," h e wrote. "Four gallons of g asoline seem t o be enough at Washington, D. C., as everyone is too busy to do much sight seeing or tripping around," states Mr. Orness. Having experienced several practice "black outs," Mr. Orness considers it a. r eal job putting almost a million people under shelter at once.

Many Changes Made in L. H. S. Faculty; War Affects School As Well As Business Not only has the war affected business institutions, but school a s well, as has been proved by the absence teachers and the ar- . r ival of new members of the faculty. "I believe that Lincoln high school s tudents have sound judgment and a courteous attitude," stated P aul Lindberg, the new mechanical drafting teach er, who is replacing Arvid Johnson, now serving . in the a rmy. Mr. Joh nson is st a tioned at Camp Roberts, California, in combat intelligence in the map field. Mr. Lindberg formerly taught drafting at I rving junior high and at Kearney State Teachers college. "With changing t imes we are attempting to change the course of study associated with engineering so that the courses Will be as practical and int eresting as possible," he added. Alter a year 's specific leave, Miss Gertrude J ones, will resu me

her former teaching post at Lincoln high sch ool. During the summer she t aught mat hematics to m en going into t he service and s tarted out w ith 47 young men who were divided into t wo classes. " We cortdensed the course t o 20 lessons, and taught them everything . from common fractions t o t rigonometry," stated Miss Jones. She spent most of last winter in Burbank, California, and added that ever y day there is more and 111ore evidence of the necessity of thorough train ing in mathema tics. Until Miss Sarah T . Muir, 'head of the English department, w ho is ill, is able. to return to duty, Mrs. L illian Lawson is taking her place.

THE ADVOCATE

Think, Girls! Then Get Busy, Brotfier Joe Needs Help This won't be a personal story of who did what when, but a hint as to ,what you girls can do in the future. Most of us noticed that there is a sugar shortage and also that there is a rubber shortage because the family wouldn 't let you have the car to drive over and see why Jane didn't want to go swimming or ask Pat to loan you her summer formal dress for that big dinnerdance. That was before you realized there was a war on. But when Johnny wrote to you from an unknown base in the Pacific telling how funny looking the Japs were, or you heard Mary's Cousin Tom's voice on the radio from England over one of those Sunday night, shortwave broadcasts, or a squadron of P-38's flew low ov. er your house, then you began thinking. Well, the next day, your dad came home with the announcement that he bought another bond tod~y, and your mother turned up with some delicious cookies that were sugarless, and you felt consoled when your 17-yearold brother Joe sat down to dinner saying, "I bought a ne..w model "A" today." The fourth one since May 8. But when Joe started work at Alliance on a defense pla1it and dad g·ot his occupational questionnaire and mom passed her Red Cross examination and became a qualified Red Cross worker, you ag·ain began thinking. 'rhere you sat doing nothing but eating, sleeping, buying clothes and going· swimming. So what di([ you do about it. That's the stumbling block. None of us did anything about it. Well, here 's your chance. Get busy. · Join a hygiene class and learn honie nursing and maybe next s"limmer you ' ll make a temporary job of it in a local hospital. Join the Junior Red Cross and help in the salvag·e campaign and other activities. Join a first aid class.
Respond to Call for Help, Give Voluntarily .to Win Came the call and response, then the vie· tory and peace; came again the call, and the l'esponse of men, women and children everywhere was again the same. Now after nine months of fighting, bitter struggle and sacrifices by all, our goal, victory is retreating with every backward step. So meet the need of weapons and arms which will save countless men, women and children. We've been urged to invest in War Savings bonds and stamps, to learn a trade and replace the men, now behind the gun, in factories all over the country. Being a democratic nation, all contribtttions of time, money and entertainment h ave been voluntary and will continue to be so as long as our government holds together. In encouraging this contribution, the Lincoln schools have given the stamp of approval to the Home Nursing course or Junior Red Cross unit now being taught by a registered nurse holding an Instructors Certificate from the Red Cross. The new course uses the revised edition of the hygiene book, by Lona L. 'l'rott.

Activities Start with School; Plan to Buy and Save School is on again, which indicates the approach of autumn and a victorious football season. (We hope!) At any rate, even before the first day of school the boys could be found out there on the field brushing up on their football technique. But football is only one of the many activities opening hastily with the beginning of school. Among other things are the girls octet, the :Mummers, the Peppers and scores more ! And, incidentally, don't neglect your purchase of an activity ticket which includes a sub-, script.ion to the school paper-The Advocate.

New Hall Guides, Guards Keep Peace in Halls
Sophomores Are Amazed As They Become Lost In Land Of Nowhere "Junior high was never like this," was the fervent murmur of many an incoming sophomore as he meekly approached Lincoln high school on the first day of school. His entrance into the building is more than likely marked by a super-sales talk on the part of some upperdassman, who does his best to induce the "freshie" to buy a fictitious elevator ticket, or heckles him in some other appropriate method. Then comes the search for classrooms, getting lost, and winding up in the wrong classes. Often he is the only one in the hall trying to find a certain room, which he believes is probably in· the "land of nowhere." As one sophomore tells the story, your heart starts to beat rapidly and you get scared all over. Then whom do you meet but a hall guard, usually a senior, who wants to see your pass. What
"This is a closed corridorsorry." Many times during lunch p eriods, pupils are told these plain, simple words. Sometimes they wonder what authority hall guides have. As a matter of fact, hall guides, when on duty, are vested with the same authority as teachers, and their requests are not to be disputed. Five minutes are allowed between second and third periods, durlng which time pupils are to g·et from their lockers any books, wraps or lunches needed during third period. This makes it unnec!lssary for pupils to go to lockers during the period. Hall guides are merely in the halls to remind pupils to be quiet in the halls where classes may still be in session.

Open Forum To the Editor : I think that there should be an assembly for the r:ew pupils in this school to teach them the school songs and yells, and introduce the football team. Clyde H iggins. To the Editor: Why doesn't the student council organize some !{ind of noon recreation? Even though thP. lunch period is thirty minutes instead of thirty-five minutes this semester, there are many pupils with minutes to spare. It would help to avoid the confusion in the halls, where pupils have nothing to do but stand and talk or walk along the corridors. Much enthusiasm was created last year over dancing and playing games in the gymnasium or in room 326. Couldn't this be started again? June Kenyon.
Glamour-Brawn Reign Supreme Here at School "Sloppy Joes" and polo shirts, plaid skirts and slacks, the confusion of r""'"" ting , the red · tape of program changing, the hustle and bustle of getting to classes on time are all definite indications that the teen-age Lana Turners and Johnny Weismullers are back in the groove and going strong. Yes, once again there is the clang of the bell, and the running, skidding and sliding of school-boy Romeos trying to make it to their classes on time, while little Juliet, having been properly escorted to her class, slips quietly in and takes her seat. Oh yes, they're all glad to be back (most of them anyway) and are just living for the time when they will be compelled (not asked) to study night after night until the wee hours. For what boy or girl does not love to sacrifice a good time for the sake of grades? That is not the question. Please point out one who does!

Band Rehearsals · In Full Swing Rainy weathPr, .;nange of s chedule, n"w pupils and laten ess of· enrollment really gave Bernard N evin a great deal to think about. As director of the band, Mr. Nevin was very busy the first days of rehear sals going over marches and school songs which were heard at the game Saturday. Enrollment of the band the first days was n ear 65 and Mr. Nevin expects the number to grow as soon as transfers <;an be made. The orchestra was only some 45 strong the first day and all members will have to work very hard preparing a program for t eachers convention the latter part of October. T he orchestra has read through J oseph Haydn's "Second Symphony" and " Slavanic Rhapsody" by Friedeman.
Between The Co·vers · Attention, all air minded people. Here is a book that is just what you've been looking for-"Air-Age Education Series," by the Aviation Education Research group. Miss Florence Jenkins, a Lincoln high social science instructor, wrote and compiled the chapter, "Living in an Air Age," which tells of the air age, the age of speed, how the airplane economizes in distance and time, the importance of maps, how the airplane is a vital factor in this war as a weapon, and also different war services of the airplant!. The student.volume contains exercises and laboratory experiments along with text material. It has many full page pictures and maps. If you want 'a book that com· bines beauty with breath-taking experiences, read ''Three's a Crew" by Kathrene Sutherland. The Pinkertons visit Indian villages, still untouched by civilization; they meet pioneers, fishermen, loggers and fabulous characters.

Students Work and Play This Summer; Girl Reserves Hear Internationally Known Speakers
Hold First Meeting New Cabinet Is Presented
With the aid of a miniature telescope, Girl Reserves strived to catch a glimpse of the future at . their first open meeting Monday, September 21. It was explained that Girl Reserves is open to all girls in Lincoln high school and all present were invited to join. Suzanne Owen opened the meeting with group singing, followed by an accordian solo by Donna Reaser. The former secretary of the club, Rosemary Cook, gave a short talk about the background of Girl Reserves. "Through the Keyhole," a novelty sketch, was given by Donna Tatman, .wmadene Reaser and Madge Rinehardt. Margaret Stacy played a violin solo, after which Rosemary introduced the president, Merrell Shutt, who, in turn, presented the other officers: Vice-president, Betty Heckel; secretary, Dorothy Temple, and treasurer, Bonnie Debe. Each officer briefly explained her duties.
Entertainment along with studying is anybody's dream of school. This dream came true for Madge Reinhardt and Maureen Evnen, Joan Gellatly, Erma Tyrell, · Mark Wittenberg, Robert Gillan and Thomas Sorensen, who attended Denver university this summer. Those studying dramatics had foUF classes a day, five days a week. The first and second classes were choral speaking and history of the theatre, respectively, They made silent pictures in t hird period, being the actors, playwrights and producers. One of t he movies was "Men Are Scarce." In the fourth period class the University of Denver students. who were studying to be directors used the drama students as actors, make up, light and scenery men. On Saturday m ornings the de· bate and drama classes saw plays in Elitch's Gardens, an amusement park. In the afternoon they rehearsed, then on Wednesday and Thursday nights they gave a series of one-act plays. One of the noted lecturers was Reginald Pole from England, who played the ghost in "Hamlet" with John Barrymore.
at by Lesie Metheny It was the fourteenth of September in forty-two, the grass was green, the sky was blue, and school let out at half past two. Pitiful, . but true, school has started The seniors ol last year have gone, and many new faces are seen among the ranks. No elevator tickets were sold on the first day, but does anyone know who the poor boy was that bought the bowl of mayonaise for soup one noon? One thing that hasn't changed is that steady deal between Marion Heim and Kenny Simmons. Seen a t the game Saturday night: Roger Stewart and Bob McGehee with twitterP a t e d expressions / on their faces, and accompanied by Jeanne Branch and Georgian W ythers respectively. flnd didn't Sally O 'Shea and Kay Reese have dates with stars, Mickey McDerment and R o g e r O'Donnel afterwards? What happened to Dick B., Kay? Have you heard the latest? Sally White seems to be weighted down with a new ball and chain (W.W.) and didn't Jean McGrew have a telephone call from Chet five minutes a fter he came back from California• and didn't Jean have a date with a strange man Saturday night? Give, Jean , what's up? Griff Jones's theme song seems to be, "Five-foot-two, eyes of blue, lives in College View." Who is she, Griff?

An interesting sight was seeing Red Rocks park, an amphitheatre. The rocks furn is h natural sound effects. The debaters started their day at 8 :50,_ learning about briefing and gestures. At 10:00 they usually went to an assembly to hear speeches on post war education and panels on broacasting and religion. After this was a study period in which the debaters studied at the Mary Reed library. At 11 :50 they were privileged to hear Dr. W. Paul in his modern forensic program. They were al· · lowed to participate in this class in the way of debating, reading and speaking. In the afternoon they held their own debates and discussions. The topic studied was "Organization in the Post World War. Three times a week they met a speech clinician who helped them with breathing, pronunciation and posture. Their voices were recorded the first and last week. A formal dance and a formal dinner were held. A little on· the opposite side was a picnic and a trip to the mountains. Students from all over the United States attended.
Withrow high s chool in Cincin· nati, Ohio, from which Tom McLaughlin came, has three gymnasiums and two swimming pools. It also has a field house. Jane Pierce from Dayton, Ohio, says: "I like the way the teachers help you select your subjects. In Dayton, the school was larger and more formal."

Football takes on a new significance at Lincoln high this fall as Coach Ralph W. Beechner and his defending state champions celebrate their golden anniversary of football. Through 50 years of football, Lincoln teams have made themselves well known around the country, as well as in Nebraska. Against many t.e ams from Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, Illinois, Minnesota, and Kansas, the Links have matched their skill with the best. Jack Donovan, senior at Lincoln high, and sports writer for the Lincoln Journal, turning back ·the dusty and worn pages of local football history, found 32 coaches have tutored Lincoln elevens. Lt. Col. W. L. Browne, former coach of Nebraska, holds the best coaching record of any tutor over a period. of years. Browne served as head mentor from 1922 to 1929 and chalked up 68 triumphs over an eight year span. Three defeats and two ties mark the only blotch on his record. Little is known of Lincoln high's football childhood. Twelve men made up the first team coached by Marsland and Barrett. It is interesting to note that the Lincoln high 1891 representative was the only high school tc:i.m which faced the. University of Nebraska that could beat them, winning 16 to 10. State championships have been many for Lincoln. Seventeen have been recorded since 1903. Coach Ralph Beechner probably has the bes.t ~tate crown record of any Lincoln coach. Since 1937 wh~n "Beech" took over the foot· ball reins, he has turned out four title winners in the past five years. His teams also won the honors three consE;cutive seasons, starting with the 1937 team, something that no other Nebraska team has done. Lincoln high opens its golden jubilee with probably the toughest schedule ever put before a Red and Black eleven. Following is the schedule: Sept. 19: Kearney ; 25, Sioux City Central. there. Oct. 2: At Massillon, Ohio; 9, Scottsbluff ; 16, Northeast; 23, Omaha South; 28, Omaha Tech. Nov. 6: At Omaha Central; 13, Grand bland ,at Grand I•land.
Worrall New Reserve Coach Chuck Worrall, University of Nebraska graduate and athlete, former Cathedral and Walthill coach, and more recently head mentor and principal at Sutton, · Nebraska, has been hired as an ass i s t a n t coach at Lincoln h i g h school. He will replace Joe Toman as the res e r v e football tutor. He has not as yet been .. assigned to any ~ o th e r definite From Lincoln Journal. sports. Joe be·came a physical director for the Army last January, after an undefeated season with the reserves. Mr. Worrall majored in physical education and coaching at the University of Nebraska from which he was graduated in 1940. "Chuck" played freshman football and as a sophomore he . piloted the scout squad. He was on the varsity squad as a junior, but was forced out in mid-season because of injuries. His teaching assignments are tive periods of physical education. He has not as yet been assigned to winter or spring sports. "Lincoln . high school has one of the mo~t democratic school systems in the country," stated Max Pumphrey, new teacher in after school sports. Mr. Pumphrey coached for two years at Centerville, Iowa, and also taught clinical psychology and athletics at the Scarborough school tor boys in New York. He considers Lincoln high students a group of wonderfully fine young people and thinks that they show fine sportsmanship.

To get things rolling in girls' sports, there is a golf and tennis tournament starting this week. All you gals who spent the summer leisurely, come down to the gymnasium and get those muscles back in shape by signing up today. Here is a special welcome to the new lOB girls. Many sports will be starting soon in which you may take part. Come to the gymnasium and get · acquainted, won't you? All girls who want to earn an emblem in salesmanship by selling candy at games should speak to the G. A. A. sponsors, Miss Lillian Story or Miss Helen Jo Miller. By earning this emblem a girl may be invited to join the G. A . A. .Attention! G. A. A. members, there is a meeting tomorrow night. At the meeting, new sports leaders '}\rill be elected. In the near future, an open meeting will be held for the new students of Lin· coin high school who · are interested in becoming a member of this club. Speedball, tap dancing, modern dancing, archery, hiking, tabletennis, swimming and horseback riding will be starting soon. Speaking of horseback riding, girls·· athletic associations' horseback riding leader, Mildred Johnson, rode in the Nebraska state fair horse show Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. She participated in the local pleasure contest and the ladies' seat and hands class. Kay Hutton gave an exhibition in swimming between the halves of the swimming . contest August 12 at .capital Beach. ·
Softball was a favorite pastime of Lincoln high school. boys this summer. Jake Bruns, basketball and track star, and Ralph Leikam and Harry Fox, footballers, all played triple A softball. The varsity football squad has lost a would-be star. During practice Homer Thompson was injured internally. Homer will be kept on the shelf for the duration of the football season. When Lincoln jounreys to Grand Island this year to play football, the players will find a nevlly lighted field, and one of the best sod fields in Nebl·aska. Attention! Begin now to save your money so that you won't be left behind when the football team leaves for Massillon, Ohio. Lincoln high school is well represented this year on the Nebraska football team. On the first squad are Fred :Metheny, Joe Partington and Vic Schleich, all from Lincoln. When John "Man Mountain" McKay enrolled at Lincoln high everybody knew he was a football player, but it is also rumored that big John can play basketball. If this is true, the Links cage outlook should be bright. "Cy" Yordy, former coach at Lincoln high, and later of Lincoln Northeast joined the army last summer, and is now ·stationed in .California. He is a medical instructor.
Exclude 'Central' From L.H.S. Title In keeping with the wishes of the fa,culty and student body, Lincoln high school athletic teams will not be referred to as "Central" by the Lincoln Journal sports staff this year. Writing to H. C. Mardis, school principal, Walt Dobbins, sports editor of The Journal since fast March, stated in part : "Believing that the action in referring to Lincoln high school stu , dents and athletes as 'Central' is not in accordance w ith wishes of the faculty and students and because it has provoked unnecessary antagonism, the Journal sports staff has eliminated the use of 'Central' in all its sports stories." Mr. Dobbins, an alumnus of Lincoln high school (sports editor of the Advocate, 1920; editor, 1921 ), declared "that it is his desire to give Lincoln high school as . well as other city schools all the publicity that space will permit and he will appreciate any cooperation that Mr. Mardis. h is faiculty, athletic staff and student body may see fit to give,"

how much our trips will be cut down, one might estimate about fifty per cent," Mr. Phillips said. He emphasized that Lincoln high debaters will attend ever ything they can at c~di~t. ance, and that ~ ating wil e carried on much t e ~me as sualt Al· though the iJ>i/,for ·nterclass debate has n t 'Jjep ·a nnounced as yet, he revea ,th~t it is likely to concern the ost War w orld. Fewer students ar e .studying de· bate this semester, according to Mr. Phillips, who . stated that advance debaters number only eleven, and that English 10 i s limited to one class. This is due in part to the decrease in enr oll· m ent. Mr. Phillips is beginning his first semester as debate coach in place of G. A. Kvasnicka, who left the Lincoln high faculty for a position in the g overnment. Having been interested in debate since ·he was in high school, h e studied debating both in high s chool and at the University of Nebra ska . A close friend. of Mr. Kvasnicka, Mr. Phillips is well informed concerning _d ebate at L incoln high.

'Tardinarian' Not Excused, Promptness Is Victory Haven't we all looked up at 8 :42 when the habitual "tardinarian" takes his place with the usual ''Good morning, teac11er,'' and haven't we felt ourselves turn cold and hostile· when he merrily babbles forth the same excuse of oversleeping. Of course he can smile because he used those extra two minutes to sleep. 'fhe prompt pennants which hang in home ro.oms are an honor. These pennants tell a story unlike the other. The home room with a pennant has cooperated and worked together appearing on time at all times and displaying the prize for their efforts -a prompt pennant. The men in the service across the sea are experiencing pain and sorrow. One man told of the enemy planes flying over and dropping ''presents" around them. Thi" next formation that appeared on the horizon was of our planes, two minutes too late. What's the connection. Two minutes delay in getting up. Two minutes delay in purchasing a war stamp or boncl. Two lllinutcs delay. Tli:at's all? That's enough ! People on home soil form a habit early in life to delay two minutes. This habit of hvo minutes tardiness in a t ime of war niagnifies to hours ; hours of suffering and pain. The law of the land now is victory. Victory can only be obtained by united struggle and cooperation. Cooperation should be practiced now by all of us. Striving to cooperate with our friends and neighbors in home room drives by being prompt will form a habit of cooperations which will help win the war. Let's make it a rule to delay 'no more. Ignorance of the law excuses no one. 'Ve play a vital part. The law is, "Cooperation for Victory."

Fall, School and Changes; Adjustments Must Be Made Fall is the time youth mar ches back t o i!!chool. Usually mother starts fall house-cleaning, and dad is telling long tales about the fish he caught in Minnesota, or the sights he ~aw in Colorado. But this fall is. different. Most fathers are thinking about the vacation they'd like to have taken, while mother is planning to do her own house-work in order to save more money for War Bonds. W e are using less sugar, and eating more body-building foods. America is in war, and we know t hat it needs the cooperation of every American. You may not think there is much that you can do, but are you sure? Even going to school and keeping up your work helps. At home we can save scr:ip m<1Lerial and gr-:as c.

Clubs at Lincoln high school are many and varied. However more than one pupil has commented on the indifference of some members at the meeting·s, the lack of real enthusiasm. Is it the war that has made boys and girls less interested ~ It is evident t hat many pupils appr eciate their opportunities by the number who tl'y out for the various clubs. Perhaps organization and lack of cooperation are to blame. If an aggressive president receives no response to ideas, is it no wonder he or she gets discouraged ? Some of t he new or younger members mav feel that they could not con tribute much to club with mostly older pupils. But if they were selected to become members, and this ap~lies especially to try-out clubs, aren't they Just as much full-pledged members as older girls and boys? Just ask any offi cer, particularly a vice-president, and see how r eadily he or she will welcome suggestions. Remember a club or organization is what the members make it.

Co-operation which the student body gives the recreation committee of the student council will determine whether noon recreation will continue. Last year the recreation committee attem1 · to set up a program of class room recreation, because gymnasiums were open only during last lunch period. Bulletins of games were mimeographed which could be played at the ' desk or blackboard in any classroom.. To a ccomplish the original purpose of the committee, which was to reduce noise and congestion, these games had to be restricted to quiet games. In the last report of the recreation 'committee the chairman said, "The idea was good but the cooperation of the students awfully low."
was
ln the girls gymnasium, games such as shuffleboard were to be placed on one end of the floor, while the other end was reserved for boys to shoot baskets. "The pupils did not play the games, so the boys took over the whole gymnasill.m for shootin~ baskets," said the report a nd went on to say~ "In the boys gym, dancing to records over the sound system proved to be mor e successful" but 326 was a much m ore popular place for dancing. This room was open from 11 : 45 till 12:00 noon on all days until closed for a good many r easons, but the main reason was that some of the boys began to become a g·enc:ral nuiosance to those who were darking-.
The . student. body doesn't seem to realize what t he r ecreation committee is t rying to do. They realize it is not working out as it should, but they don't realiz~ that is largely their fault.
Open Forum To the Editor; Wouldn't it be helpful to p r int the insign ia of the Army, Navy and Marines? I'm sure there are many students who would like to !mow the ranks of the men .in the service. The various branches might be helpful also. If the printing shop could print lists of rooms, and t eachers, and periods when and wher e t h ey are t eaching for those pupils who are new t o the school, it m ight p rove a great help. Although there is a list by the front door and in the office, I'm sure many student s would appreciate such a list for themselves. - Annette Jacobs. To true Americans: Awaken students of America!

Activity Ticket Sales Boosted By Rivalry Commotion in home room 326, Wednesday morning, Sep· tember 23, was all for a good cause. Mrs. Frances Rein had been telHng her home room stu. dents, ever since the beginning of . the semester, that she was going to buy the first activity ticket in that home room. This state.ment showed no ef· feet until one morning two stu· dents started the ball rolling by paying the home room representative, part of the money for their activity tickets to get a chance at the first one. At first, Mrs. Rein couldn't think of a way out, until finally she -.aid that the .:iles wouldn't on until Wednesday morning, so whoever wanted the first ticket would have to get to school Wednesday. ·(There were no tardinesses in home room 326 that Wednesday morning.) Neither Mrs. Rein or the two challengers got the first activity ticket, but all this "feud in'" in fun ended in home room 326 leading in the sale~ of activity tickets at first.

The Covers One of the many n ew a.nd excit· ing books just received by t he Ji. brary is "Attack Alarm," by Hammond I nnes. It is a gripping t ale of the R. A. F . in its bat tle over Britain fl uring the n ev er-t o- be-f o r-
gotten summer of 1940, when E ng· land's air defenders achieved their finest hour of g·lory. The book is filled with drama ; the drama of modern war, swift a nd terribie as lightning, and is a lso an admirable and excit ing novel of war-time England. Th e story tak es place at a typical fight er station where Barry Hanson's battery br ought down an enemy pilot who gave out a secret fifth colunm plot in boastful an g·er. Hanson being the only one to sense this, gets into endless trouble. "Attack Alarm" is full of action and breathless suspense of fighting, working and waiting, with the radio forever bla ring its orders and warnings, t he antiair · craft crews wat ch ing t hrough the n ight, the violent and outnumbered squadrons rising manfully to attack . The library collected som e 213 books over t he summer months. However , t hey a r e n ot in cir culation a s yet, but will be listed when ready for genera l use.
Lunchers Still Downing Just as Many Sweets Girls! Here is your ch ance to reduce. In the cafeteria where three desserts were formerly served, now, due to sugar rationing, only two ca n be served. F ifty per cent of the former amount of s ugar used in the cafeteria is allotted to th em. Syrup is substituted, but often it iJ diffic ult to get enough syrup, not because it is being rationed, but because there is s uch a .dema nd for It. It was t hought by a few that the rati oni ng of sugar would im prove the general health of people, especially in rega rd to the cond ition of their teeth. Th is is probably not the case, however, since the re is still just a bout as large a consum ption of sugar s ubstitutes such as honey, syrup and cand y. The candy man:.ifact urers and ba keries that use sugar in everything they make are a l19tted seve nty per cent ()f the sugar that they used before the war. T he refore, there is not $UCh a great decrease in such products. This shows that there Is not enough curta ilment of sugar in the aver age diet to imp rove health . \:·

Johnnie Makes Changes in His Date Technique The war is having its affects on numerous tb,ings, one of them being the etiquette of "dating." A girl is no longer sure whether she will have to walk, ride a. bus, or by some sheer piece of good f ortune get to ride in a car , when she accompanies her boy friend to the movies. The tire shortage h as hit the high school youth the harde r (in the opinion of the high school youth). Just imagine a boy not being given the family car at a moment's notice at any t ime he wants it, or a girl having to walk down t own in a pair of h igh heeled shoes. The shock is too great for the average boy or g irl t o comprehend. But t he fact re-· mains it is being done. Anoth er drastic measure that is being t aken, is that a girl's escoi·t does not always appear at the door for her, but one of the persons w hom t h ey a re "double-dating," t he reason for t h is being that per· sons are picked up according t o wher e they live in order to s a ve m ileage on t ires. Girls n ow have to start u sing the old-fashioned customs of en· t ert aining their "best beau" in t he parlor or pulling t affy, in order to help U ncle Sam w in th~ war.
Where There's Smoke It's Not Always Fire You may have wondered about the "smoky atmosphere" present in all the rooms the past week.

Bruce Corrick, sports edito r "piped up" with 'Didn't you douse your-s ?" whil e Jani ce Pauley smilingly nodded her head. Other staff members looked on with astonishm ent, and shrugged ~·1 eir shoulders. According to one cu.s tod ian smoke was caused fro m the liquid wh ich was appl ied to the radiators, when they were overhaul ed last summer. Everyone hopes that the smoke will c lear up in t he nea r f utu re, so that v isability will be c lea r e nough to see "yon clas.smate" str i vi~g to pass that "all Important" note to yo u!

Harold Dickerson and Mae West had more than a little difficulty getting to the club due to mud trouble. Shirts Hinds and Roger McNeel aren't going steady any more, just steadily. By the way, Shirts, what did you say to make Rog's face so red? Talking about steady deals, I heard Connie Cathcarte has made the agreement with Johnny Messmore. And isn't it four years that Sarah Schmal has been seeing but one man? Must be real! Jeanie Bogan is especially interested in Northeast's blonde, wavey haired, husky football player, Dutch Meyer. Dick Lodge has been camping on Patty Colton's doorstep, Um!!! Not bad.

"Just as this war is changing your life, it is changmg the clothes you wear," according to Miss Nancy Halligan, bridal consultant at Miller & Paine's, who spoke at an open meeting of· the home economics club, Monday, September 28, in room 116. "Girls should look for durability and sensibility now becauue clothes have to last longer." "Because of the war, designers are using new materials. Nylon has been found to be 600 per cent more durable than wool. Aralac is a new creation made of milk, tha t doesn't wrinkle. Hattie Carnegie has .been designing coats of hemp. Dresses and skirts now have only two inch hems, tie belts or draw strings, no collars, and are doing away with snaps and other metal fastenings. The war has changed more than dresses, however. People are buying more sensible shoes with arch supports. They are wearing hats that serve a purpose these wintry days. The jewelry is made of wood, string, yarn and plastics. Miss Halligan showed the girls the basic clothes for their winter wardrobe, including a three piece suit, date dress which they will wear this year instead of formal dress and two sports outfits.
Library Assistants Chosen for Semester Assisting Miss Emma Snyder as library assistants this semester are: First period, Alma Telecky and Ionalee Sehnert; second period, Arabell Philburn; fifth period, Richard Bauer and Lila Wilkenson. Assistants help students in finding books, do office work, or any other piece of work that they may be asked to do. This subject is entirely elective through the permission of Miss Snyder. It is t aken mostly by students intending to do · similar work after finishing school.
Lincoln High's Band Elects New Officers Officers were elect ed last Friday forLincoln high school 's band. Acting as captain will be Bob ·Baker. Jim Schrepel w ill be f irst lieutenant a nd Harold Waite, second lieutenant. While Bernard N evin, instructor, is out of the room, one of the officers takes charge. Attendance is checked and music passed out by the officers.
Game boards that the soldiers can use to play on; ping pong tables for the soliders to amuse themselves in their leisure time. These are just a few of the articles that C. E . Evans• woodwork and Trades preparatory classes are making for the soldiers at the Lincoln Air Base. They are constructing the objects out of scraps donated to them by the contractors from the Air Base so that the boys in the service can have all the comforts of home. The classes are also constructing smoker stands, bedside tables, floor lamps and even airplane models for instruction of the boys. Planning is being done now for the construction of these things and the actual building will commence some time in the near future. The Junior Red Cross is also receiving aid · from these classes. The entire room of ·~ables, whic:J. will be used for making roller bandages and all types of $Ut"gical dressings, is being furnished by the work the boys put in during class time. Dimensions of the tables vary from five feet to :l:ifteen feet in length and they ai·e all four feet wide. First aid boxes for all Lincoln schools in connection with the air raid drills are also being constructed. For the preparedness in Lincoln high school, the classes are to make splints for the first aid classes of Miss Helen Jo Miller and Carl Manthey. Carpentry work is extremely important at this time because defense building projects are claiming all persons with any experience at all and they are put to work with high wages. For example, a graduate of Lincoln high in '40 had carpentry employment. Materials were then frozen and consequently the business closed down. He was immediately received into a job in which he earned as high as $109 in one week, although being only two years out of high school. After having the trades preparation carpenter courses in Lincoln high, a person can claim to be on advanced apprentice. The shop has the facilities to teach all types of cabinet making, and is prepared to teach Jots of the "tricks of the trade."
Vacancies in L. T. A. Have Been :Filled Alternates from Lincoln high school who w ill serve on the council of the Lincoln teachers asso-. ciation a·r e Miss Alice B. Beynon and Julius D . Young, who will hold this position for one and two years, respectively. Vacancies were caused by the loss of Miss Elsie M. Cather and Mrs. Fern P. Housman from the faculty.

U.N. Museum Field Party Accomplishes Skunk Taming; Six L.H. Boys Involved
Democracy Reigns· As Classes Are Governed By Elected Officers
like the most pleasant job in the world, but just such a thing was accomplished this summer by the members of the University Museum field party at Oshkosh, Nebraska. Lincoln high students involved were Bill . Green, Jim Worcester, Bill Reinhard, Harold Waite, Jim Harley and Joe Arthaud. After the mother skunk had been killed, the capture of three babies was achieved by digging them from the burrow. There is a theory that it is safe to pick up a skunk by the tail.

Electing officers in chorus classes is a sure sign that democracy is being carried into the class room. Miss Helen Stowell allows her classes to elect and be governed by their own class officers. Miss Stowell's second period chorus class officers are: Patti Hyland, president; Bob Smith, vice-president ; Virginia Shirey, secretary; Harold Becker and Kenny Barthuly, librarians; Adele Loder, accompanist; and Bettie Blair, editor. The third period chorus class held an election Monday for these officers: president, Arehie Kirkendall; vice-president, Pat Moffett; secretary, Bettyrose Jurgens; head librarian, Vernon Damme, editor, Darlene Schleuger. Shirley Schnitt er is the accompanist and John O'Donnell operates the slide ma· chine. , In the fourth period music class new officers were elected. Jeannie Branch, president; vice president, Bill Hancock; and secretary, Joan Goulty. Accompanying the chorus is Dorothy June Poe. Miss Helen Stowell's first period voice class was organized Thursday, September 24, and the officers were elected. They are: Lois Hoffman, president; Annette Jacobs, vice-president; Norma Graybill, secretary; Phyllis Weaver, librarian; and Mildred McAdams, editor. ' Purpose of the class is to become better fitted for indiviidual work. A few of the girls are starting on solos.

At first the pets had to be fed with an eyedropper, but after a while they were fed insects and given some scraps of meat to chew. The boys handled them from the day they got them, but were very careful not to alarm them. One night, however, the boys let them ru11 about loose in their tent. It was this night that the first one made his get-away. Shortly after this they shipped the meanest skunk to Dick Loomis in Lincoln. The third made good his escape four or five days later.

"We have everything to win and nothing to lose by playing the Massillon outfit," explained Mr. Beechner in a r ecent pep talk to his aspirants. If Lincoln wins the school will receive national r ecognition. If it loses, the Massillon game, the de· feat will not affect Nebraska state and the Missouri Valley crowns.

It was in 1925 when the Links t raveled to Toledo and outpointed Wade high school 8 to 6 in a thriller where no touchdowns were scored; safeties and tie Id goals chalked up all the points made that day. The following year Wade traveled to Lincoln and took a 48 to 12 shellacking in the home camp; thus proving that Ohio teams are not invincible.

LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1942
EIVE CENTS
Mummers Choose Tentative Cast for Play Nov. 6- 7 Double Rol·e s Are Held by Four Students
Junior Red Cross Fund· Collection Reaches $176.14 Scrap Barrels Placed in Halls For Salvage Under the new Junior Red Cross organization in Lincoln high, s crap barrels, three ·placed by the main entrance and three by the cafeteria, are being filled up rapidly by the students. Voluntary offerings for Red · Cross reached a total of '176.14 in the school Friday. Eµrollment lasted four days, and Friday, all pupils· at Lincoln high received membership cards and buttons, automatically making them members of the Junior Ame rican Red Cross. It was necessary to receive an average Of one cent each to cover the cost of membership cards and buttons for the 2 ,236 pupils. Tuesday, the first day, reached a total of $65.05; Wednesday, $38.75, Thursday, $31.42 and Friday $4.0.83. The money above the. minimum for supplies already collected, will go into equipment for making supplies for the comfort and the entertainment of the soldiers. The white Red Cross boxes will remain in all home rooms indefinitely in order that further contributions may be made and the f!tudent R ed Cross committee has put up posters in all the rooms. The scrap drive started Monda y morning, October 6. The six ba r· rels are labeled into three classes, hemp> rubber and metal. Signs marked "Official Salvage Depot" are placed near-by. Suggestions and the progress of the drive are announced over the sound system every morning. A bulletin is placed in every home room to give students idea s what t,O · ~. An· oid rusty -narl
or small piece of rope can be used and students a re advised to look everywhere possible. Junior Red Cross cards can be presented to neighbors for .permission to find old scrap around their place. A number of students have located up to 500 pounds of old scrap. Pupils are asked not to bring the scrap all in one day, but to bring a little each morning of the drive.
Penny Rise On Certain Foods In Cafeteria You can start saving your pennies for t he cafeteria now as well as for parking meters. Becam;e of the rise in so many foods there is a n ecessity to raise the price of aome dishes a t least a cent. Effective last Friday, butter with rolls was raised a penny, and all sa lads and desserts are a penny more expensive. To co-oper a te with the sugar rationing laws, pie and cake are a lternated daily. Soon Mrs. Helen Pierce, super visor, thinks there will be a neces sity to increase hot dishes also. As the cafeteria is rega r ded as a pub· lie ea ting place, when m eat r ationing starts, there will be one meatless day a week just as in public restaura nts. . This rise in prices not only af.fects Lincoln high school, but a ll other schools a nd cafete rias.
Ticket Sales Up to 1,227
Pupils File For Council
Since the sales of activity • t ickets sold in home rooms ended w ith 1,123 t ickets, 104 more have been sold in home room 125 by Miss Effie Noll, which makes a t otal of 1,227 tickets. Last year 4.26 more activity tickets were sold, but school enrollment has dropped considerably so sales are abotit .the same comparatively as last year. Of the money taken in for sales, $219.15 was paid to the government in admission taxes on these tickets. Nine hundred and eighteen pu• pils bought Kearney game tickets and all but 130 have applied for activity t ickets which .are still on sale during all lunch periods in 125.
Tomorrow, October 8, is voting day for all sophomores. Their primary election is to elect representatives to the student council. Eight persons, four girls and four boys, will be elected by balfot. Sophomores only are eiligible for voting. Polls will be open at 8:15 in the morning and remain open until school starts. They will be open during all lunch periods and until 4 :oo in the afternoon. Even numbered rooms on the first fl oor w ill vote in room 120, odd 'numbered rooms on the first floor will cast votes inl 31. Room 210 will be used by even numbered rooms on second floor and 219 will be used by the odd numbered rooms on the second floor. The stage in 326 will be used for even numbered rooms on both the third and fourth floors and odd numbered rooms will vote in 319. Pupils will vote in the same rooms for both the primary and final election.

EINSTEIN· ANGLEDOME

America · is engaged in a war for freedom. Yes, we are fighting for the right to livethe right to have freedom of the press, :freedom of religien, to which we have so loug been accustomed. In ol'<ler that we may 0011tinue to enjoy those inalienahle rights given Americans, we must buy war bonds and stamps; that does not necessarily mean that only large amounts will be of any value, for riot matte;. how small the purchase, it will help carry on the vital war efforts. For example, one lO cent wa1· stamp will buy five .45 caliber cartridges; one 25-cent stamp will buy one dozen bandages; one 50-cent stamp will buy 12 yards of barbed wire, or enough oil to permit a destroyer to cruise. one mile. One dollar buys an arm splint, or one entrenching shovel; $3.50 will buy one round for a 37 mm anti-tank gun ; $4 buys one steel helmet; $9.25 will buy a gas mask; $10 buys one tent, and one $18.75 bond will purchase .one field telephone, or the principal items of a chemical warfare protection outfit for a blue-jacket. From these prices of different military .items ,the necessity for a greater sale of war bonds and stamps is evident. Our soldiers are doing their share by sacri'ficing their lives that we· may live; it should behoove us to support them by buying war stamps and bonds till we can buy no more, for officials say, that it takes one million dollars a day to feed this vast army. We are not throwing away our money, you know; we are investing it in the safest way possible, for the future-we are buying a share of freedom; so let's do a good job while we're at it!
Surprise! Valuable Junk ls Found in Attic Heat Surprise! Valuable junk can be found m attic, just look. Let's crawl out of the shade of the apple tree or the depths of our favorite book and go treasure hunting in our attics. . We've been wanting to for a long time, but it's so terrifically hot and-;--but, wait a minute, a. few moments of heat now in the attic might aid one of those boys who've had things made hot for them. What are we waiting fod Behold the attic! We never dreamed it was like thi~.

That might even come in handy in case of a blowout, and you need some rubber for patches. Anyway it's a treasure. And over behind that trunk way back in the back. Oh! It's rubber hose that was never repaired, and look, here's. that copper kettle used for the Thanksgiving program. Copper is a treasure, too. We've been asked to save all things of metal that will become scarce, and all articles made of rubber. We really ""can help our country, by cleaning out the attice at home, by bringing the raincoat and the nail (though rusty) and the hose and the copper-kettle to school and placing them in the scrap-containers in the halls. Let's try to remember that everything we bring counts up. Seven or eight copper-kettles :will bring in a good deal of money. Of course, it is· as the small boy overheard in the drug · store, said to his pal, "It ain't patriotic to sell scrap metals and junk for money unless you buy war stamps with it or do something to help the soidiers, my pop says." Here, we're out for money from scrap, but we know that each and every penny goes into the · Junior Red Cross fund and we h elp the soldiers in two ways. That's surely being· patriotic.

Messenger Service Is Organized . ''Civilian defense is mainly . an organization for adults; but in the set-up boys and girls between the ages of 15 and 21 were forgotten, llO it .w as decided upon a messen· ger service," stated Roy Lang, executive secretary .of the Boy Scouts, in his speech to three troops of G!rl Scouts, last Wed· nesday, September 80. Messenger scouts have a direct relationship to all of the other branches of civilian defense, and require training in every branch 110 they understand all of them. The messenger service is for all boys and girls between the ages of 15 and 21. Boy and girl scouts, and other organizations are entering the service as a group. The city of Lincoln is divided into 88 precincts, and each precinct into eight zones. ,Each of the 88 precincts require six junior messengers and two adult or senior tover 21) messengers. There will be approximately 700 messengers working. In addition to the 88 prec.i rtcts will be a control center and a hospital. The control center is secret, and only 12 or 15 carefully selected messengers will have. knowledge of its location. The 12 or 15 messengers will be checked and rechecked approximately eight different times. Each of the 88 precincts will have a central headquarters.
Southern Hospitality? Mongrel Visits Class Southern hospitality? W ell, high school hospitality anyway! Mrs. Ruth R ein e:x::tended h er hand and gave a hearty w elcome to a member of the canine family the other day when she observed a small decidedly lonesome mongrel from her desk ·in her fourth period, type 2 .class. Mr s. Rein imm ediately asked it to come in, which it did, thereupon making itself quite at home. The class, after a few "oh's" and w histles, went on without interruption a nd the amused pup remained throughout the whole period.
Mardis Speaks To Hi-Endeavor " Education in the War E ffort" was H . C. Maris' t opic as h e ad· dressed the First P lymouth HiEndeavor Sunday evening, S ep·tember 27. He made it clear that sooner or later everyone would be affected by the war and that no time should be wasted in starting our part here at home. Mr. Mardis e:x::plained that it isn't .a question of whether or not we'll be able to get along without these things that we Americans have listed as necessities, but just how long it's going to take to accustom ourselves to do without them. He added, "It's time for all of us to r oll up our sleeves and pitch in ." A very important factor is morale. Mr. Mardis gave a defini· tion which he believes everyone should easily remember: "Keep your head up, your n eck in, your shirt on, and your f eet on the ground."

With Bearcats
Friday night will mark the fourth meeting of the Lincoln high and Scottsbluff ·football teams. Lincoln has won three games while Scottsbluff has failed to bag a single .encounter. The first battle was fought at Lincoln in 1939, with the sons of the Red and Black coming out of the fray· with a hard-earned 22-6 ·victory. The Links scored first on Howard Debus' field goal but the Bearcats came back with a touchdown and a 6-3 lead. Tht'!y were unable to hold it however as "Bud" King, Bill Jennings and Debus cut thru the Scottsbluff line for three touchdowns to set the game on ice. In 1940, the Bluff-men again invaded the Lincoln stronghold, and with them came all the color of the season. The Links throttled every attempt on the part of the Bearcats, as they ran wild to a 48-0 triumph. Dale Wismer, Ray Boehmer and Ed Hall were the mainstays for the Red and Black Last year Lincoln high's team and a large band of followers made their first journey to the pan-handle country. Led by Ed Hall, Ray Boehmer, Jerry Regelean, and a hos.t of others, the Links handed the Bearcats an impressive 35-0 shellacking. Although the Links have taken Scottsbluff's measure in previous games, the Bearcats are always a scra,ppy bunch, and the game this year should be a tussle.
Junior Describes Montana School Robert Pardis, junior, recently moved to Lincoln from Thompson Falls, Montana. The high school has 250 pupils, but it is the largest one in that district. It has dormitory faqilities which accommodate pupils from the country who are tinable to attend school at home. Bob played tackle on the football team and was a member ·o f the camera club. Thompson Falls is in western Montana on the Clarksford river near the mountains. It has a population of 900. There is a large Ranger station in "Thompson" which supplies boys over 17 years of age with summer work quelling fires and maintaining trails. The mountains are covered with virgin forests and are very beautiful. Bob stated, "One doesn't think much about the mountains when he has lived near them all his life until he leaves for a prolonged time."
Pupils Learn Rules For First Aid Classes Miss Helen Jo Miller's first period first aid class Tuesday, October 29, was given a general idea of the course. During the period they learned the meaning and general rules of first aid. They also studied the skeleton, joints and pulse points.

A scoreless tie was the result of 48 minutes of hard driving on the part of the reserve t eams Thursday night. Coach Worrall divided his reserve squad into the R eds and the Blacks and let them really go to it. Penalties held both t eams back all during the scrimma ge, according to Mr. Worrall. The Red's scored on a flip from Deeter to Fink but the play was called back because of an offside penalty. Fink sparked the Reds with his brilliant running and pass receiving, sugar footing thru the middle of the line for runs of 24 and 12 yards, respectively. Driving from the 50 yard line to the one yard line, the Reds were halted by the Black's determined and tenacious gaol-line stand. Campbell a nd Kelly carried tile mail for the Blacks w ith several sensational jaunts. K elly faked a punt and skirted the end for 35 yards and the longest drive of the game. Officials were varsity tackle Reid Devoe, referee ; headlinesman, Eddie Smith; umpire, varsity half back Bill Betz. "Iron Vic" Bartlett composed the Lincoln high rooting section.

Juke Box Enthusiasts Must Help Uncle Sam "What will we . do for entertainment 1" is the question the girls have been asking lately. Now that the No. 1 swing band has broken up and Glenn Miller is in the army, it's going to slow up the jive. . And, to top it off. many of the boys are leaving for some branch of the armed forces. It looks as if there are going to be less dances and dates, and more girl get-togethers. Don't take it hard girls, there's a lot to be done that will help out. Those boys in the service miss the entertainment and "dates" too. So let's do our best to " keep 'em .smiling." Why don't you get out that recipe of mom's. There's noth· ing they would like better than a big box of home-made cookies. And when you send that box, stick in a couple of their favorite magazines. Come o.ri girls, k eep the mail rolling and keep them smiling.
Former Links Tells His Experienc.es Calvin Barnes, a former student of Lincoln high, who is in the Navy received a 6-day leave in July. He is a machinist mate on a destroyer. One of his experiences was having a torpedo sent from a German U-boat go beneath the ship. Two or three shells also went over the bow of the ship. When Calvin was asked if h e was a bit scared he answered slowly, "There is no time to be scared. We are all too busy getting to our posts, but when it's all over you get scared just thinking about how lucky you are to be alive."

Sons of the Red and Black By Bruce Corrick. The Tackles. Special tribute should be paid to the big boys, the ones that supply the bulk for the Lincoln high lines that are famous around this part of the country. This year the Red and Black is fortunate in having some good tackles. Starting at one tackle is Harold Becker, a junior weighing 185 pounds and standing 5 feet 10 inches tall. Harold is a rugged and tricky man and will be back next year. Alternating at the other tackle is Norman Lock, a senior weighing 170 pounds and an even 6 feet tall. One of "Rock's" outstanding qualities is speed. He played rn the reserves last year. This is "Norm's" last year. Alternating with. Lock a t the other tackle is Big J ohn McKay who weighs 228 and towers 6 feet 3 inches tall. John is a fast tackle and is playing his only year for the Links. One of the most valuable men on the squad is Bob Patton, a senior, weighing 180 pounds a nd carpentry shop and machine shop kicks all the points after touchdowns. It is hoped t hat he w ill kick a lot of them this year. Another big boy is Marvin "Butch" Epp, who weighs 181 pounds and s tands 5 feet 91; 2 inches tall. Last week Marvin was told to learn a guard position because of the shortage of them. Epp will strengthen the squad at both tackle and guard. Bob Smith, senior tackle candidate, adds \J\feight to the line. Smith weighs 185 pounds and stands 5 feet 10 inches tall. This is Bob's last year of football for the Red and Black. He played reserves football· 1ast year. Last but not least is Reid Devoe, a senior weighing 165 pounds and 5 feet 10 inches in his stocking feet.. Reid is playing his last year for the Links, and was a member of last year's reserve squad.

The scene was gay and colorful, dotted by P epper uniforms, Khaki, Northeast's black and white, and the soulful faces of last year's state championship squ ad, inwardly wishing they were again playing the hard way for the glory of the old alma mater.

P ersistance Is Powerful; Determine To Try Jt Out Two men on base, "\Vhitey" Kurowski was up at bat. Whichever team won the -world series depended upon him. A short time before, he had hit. a hard one clear out in the field, but it was a foul. Then there was only silence, the pitch, Kuro·wski connected, and it was a " beaut". No foul that one, but the hit that won the series! , Let 's look behind the scenes and get a 'glimpse of t he same Kurovvski a few years before. He had been a player in one of the minor leagues then, and little was heard of him. One arm, stiff from an injury, bothered him a good deal. A trip to the hospit;i brought on the r emoval one of his bones in the lower arm. \Vith g1·im persistence, he massaged and manipulated that arm until he could use it again. With the same persistent determination, he squared out that ball in the ninth inning of the fifth g·ame of the world series, which ended in favor of the Cardinals. \Ve are not entirely unlike him-all of us striving for the things we want, with discouragement and hard jolts along the way making our goal seem unobtainable. The boys in the armed forces know what they want and they 'll fight to the end. Even through bitter discomagement of lost battles and lost comrades. What are we going to do in the face of trouble 1 Quit 'I Give up ? Cease to try 'I Of course we won't. VV e 're just as big as· the other fellow, we'll try hard to get the history, shorthand, or other difficult subjects and mak e our homci:nH, touehclown, or Yictory by learning now, never to give up.

Fifth Century of Progress Marks Columbus Day In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. He sailed to find a land of spices, the East Indies. He found a. land full of resources, which he little dreamed would, five cent.mies later, be a land self-sufficient in practically every way. In the beginning the pilgrims who settled came primarily to be able to worship in their own way. In their necessity for comfort they invented many things, built homes, and estab- . lished themselves as free settlers. Then came th_e frontier days. Days of adventure and changes. Mining frontiers and agr~culture frontiers, cheap land and o'pportumty and stable government drew men from all other countries and broadened the continent. Other events came in quick succession, a .World war, then peace and progress. liV e had our sha!Jl of depression, too. Long hard years of unemployment and strife. Now in ~he twentieth century, 500 years afte~ the disc?very of Amehca, we the people, havmg establIShed our more perfect union a govern?1~nt of, by, and for the free peo~le, are stnvmg to preserve it.

Three L. H . S. girls (Mildred Miller, Lucille Reisbig and Darlene Hanneman) found the company of two Scottsbluff, and two N ortheast letter men very pleasing after the game last Friday. Something new has been added. Last Friday at the Scottsbluff game little P at Prewitt was seen sitting on the bench with the team. Was 1'he })OSi11 g as a "Mascot" 0 1· j ust having a, good chat? 11
'What's Cooking?' Just 'llot' Dish In French Class "Wh ew! what's that I smell, garlic '? Hope they don't get any of it in the food today !" "What 's cooking around here? Seems to be coming from 212!" So went the rem arks as people passed along the east corridor on second floor .one day last week. It seems that the spicy odor came from Miss Annetta Sprung's advanced French class where they w ere passing around t he clasil samples of an old h e': F ren ch dish prepared by Geraldine Pos ka. Miss Sprung had given the recipe for this luscious concoction for purposes of dictation the day before and Geraldine "whipped" it u p and s urprised the class with her experiment. Miss Sprung explained that sh e got the r ecipe while on board the ' Normandie from son: o French peop le who came from t he Basque country. She called it "Peperade." Th e receipe, as you w ill read, is f ull of "hot" ingredients. Cut, two p ieces of bacon and fry. A dd onion and garlic bits cut up finely.. Next a dd t wo green p cpp~rs . one red p epper, ten to m a toes and a little salt and pepper. Cook d own until evaporated a little and thei1 beat four eggs; add, and cook. H ow do you think it would taste ? Well, all who t asted it, and everyone in thr ee classes did, liked it very much.
Fire Drill Startles Scottsbluff Pupils Caught in a fire drill fifth period Friday w ere a few of the Scottsbluff pupils who came down to Lincoln for the game. After the drill was over Mary Slemmons, Bonnie Adams,, Lois Ullstrom, Mickey Smith and Wilma Lee Bailey came up to the Advocate office w here they were immediately swamped by the staff. The girls said that they d on't have fire drills in Scottsbluff, an d that they didn 't like them. T hey like Lincoln hig·h, and think that the pupils are very n ice a nd courteous , but t hey don't like Lincoln water. After an exciting w eek end they left Sunday nigh t for a long trip home.
Between the Covers I "Pied Piper" by Nevil Shute·, is a story that's both gripping and tender. John How ard, kindly, lov able and human, completely unaware of his own nobility, wanted to help when E ngland was at war, but they told him he was too old. Mr. Howard starts out on a vacation in the J ura mountains, knowing nothing about t he crumbling of the western front, he agrees to escort two young English childfen, Ronald, a little boy of eight and Sheila, a little girl of five , across France and home to England. The children are excited at the prospect of new exp eriences, but J ohn is worried that he has accepted a tasR that he is not well-fitted to fulfill. As they start on their journey it is fun. But soon the war makes itself felt and little Sheila gets s ick with fever, t rains are s topped, buses attacked, r oads choked wit h refugees, and still J ohn Howard takes on heavier r esponsibilities as his little band grows, child after child joining, mile aft er mile. Nicole, a pretty French girl, helps him tak~ care of the children and also helps them get to Brest.

Open Forum To t he Editor: H ow about i\, fellas? The n avy is doing it, so is the army, also, boys down at the stadium. An obstacle track could be wor ked out on the track, on the field north of the building. It could be used through the sports and gymnasium classes. Coach Beechner approves of t h is very much, and is eager for somebody to submit some outline or plan for one. . With all the physical fitness p rogram our country is supporting, t h is would be a swell idea . A certain time limit would be required or set to j ump over hurd les, puddles of wa t er, _h and over hand acr oss a cable or bar, climb on eight foot wall, and many oth er things. Somebody, get those outlines on plans in ! S end them to the Advocate office now! TOM LAU RIE. To High School Students : Are we doing our share? Somet imes I don't t hink as many of us are as could. I'm writing mostly about the Betty's and J ohnnies, who j ust don't care, or t h ink they're certainly doing all they possibly can ! It happens that these are the ones who take their cars (or their father's car), dr ive at reckless speeds, burning up their tires and gasoline, and even endangering lives of others as well as themselves. Driving at high speeds wears out our t ir es quicker· tha n anything. So if you hav e to drive, drive slowly. The national speed limit, 35 miles an hour, wen t into effect last Thursday, September 30. In N ebraska it is only on a voluntary basis, but that doesn 't m ean, you can shout "whoopie!" get the car out, and race dow n the street~ at t op speed! It does mean t hat it's our chance t o do something for our country, for the men who are so bravely _fighting, for us. It isn't anything so big, but it 's t he "little t hings t hat count, " anyway. So let' s show t hem that w e can volu ntarily keep . t he national speed limit of 35 miles a n hour (without tliinking t h at we won't be arrested if we d on't.) L et's set a good example for everyon e else, or th ose w ho don't think of what it means to ou1: country. Many of us are now riding bicycles, and a great many a re walkin g , but w e do it with a light heart and with youthful patriotism. We benefit by walking. I t 's not only good exercise, but girls, it's mighty good for your figure ! So let's all join in t he long w alk to victory! Marion ~lichal.

Art ,ls Used To Frighten Enemies Military, industrial and social or civilian are the three main uses of art during the war, h1ated Professor Dwight Kirsch, head of the art department at the University of Nebraska to the members of Art .club last Thursday, October 8, at their first open meeting. He told how camouflage g r ew out of modern designers in Paris in the last war. They were Cuban artists and u sed geometric shapes. In the last war things were seen from the ground and in this war things are seen from the air so they have to be concealed . "Camouflage is making things photograph like what they .aren't," was the definition he gave for it. Prisons Decorated by Art. Military uses are maps, etc . S cale models have to be made. Also art is used to frighten t he enemy. Things are made with lines and colors with p sy chological effects such as the "Flying Tigers." Art is used in prisons, for instance in a German prison the British prisoners decorated the prisons and practiced their art in any way that they could. In industrial art a new profession has sprung up recently called "production illustra tion.'' The prod uction illustrators m<i;ke drawings from blue prints to show .workers how the object is put together. Anyone who wants to do this kind of work must know how t o draw simpl e perspective and have common sense. Social Art Used in Costumes. Social or civilian art is used in costumes for military uses. The costumes have to be designed to keep up with the spirit. Also posters have to. ·be made to k eep ~p the morale of the people.

Sons of the
Red and Black .·
Northeast high will invade the Lincoln high oval in the second annual inter-city grid championship Friday night, October 16. Last year's game was a heartbreaker for the Rockets when their third quarter onslaught was halted by the L inks powerful machine and the series opened with a Lincoln victory, 13-6, after a hard fought game. After a scoreless. first quarter Beechner's boys took advantage of
a short punt and an intercepted pass and made these pay off for 13 points. In the early part of the second stanza, Lincoln high took the seed on its own five-yard stripe and in twelve plays had its first tally. Hall's pass to Regelean for fourteen yards and Boehmer's pounding the line for ten and five yards respectively, set the pins for the first six points. Boehmer jammed through the center of the line for eight yards and the initial touchdown. Harold Hawkins, extra point specialist, converted by splitting the uprights, making the score 7-0. Eddie . Hall intercepted one of Rex Mercer's passes a nd was brought down on the Rockets' 34 yar d line to pave the way for another Lincoln pay-off. West, Glenn, Hall and Boehmer drove their way up the. field and scored the second. touchdown on the tenth play when Boehmer smashed over again from the two yard line. Northeast looked good in the third_ quarter when :Mercer, spectacular p a s s_e r, dropped one to L aub b ehind Eddie Hall and he raced for the only Northeast touchdown. They failed to convert and 'the score stayed at 13-6. The fourth canto scored but t he ball was in Northeast. territory most of the . time. The game ended with another Lincoln high triumph of 1.3-6. This year'!J game should b e a re~l thriller with both teams undefeated in the state. Northeast can match the Red and Black .line as far as weight is concerned. It has big tackles and. the center, Squires, weighs · more than 200 pounds. The t eam averages 1691/2 and the Links average 172 pounds. They are twq of the h eaviest t eams in the state. With three games under their belts, the R ockets have ·a stainless record. They breezed by Hasting s in their op·ener with a 6 -0 victory. Their next encounter was the Orange and Black squad of Beatrice . The Rockets scoring was h eld down due to the wet field and the drizzling rain, but the 7-0 l ead gave them their second win. "Jug" Brown's Falls City eleven w as crushed by the White and Black 13·0. The Rockets h eld a 20 pound weight advantage over their last victim. Lincoln smashed the Kearney Bulldogs 33-0 in their opener. After tbeir 40-6 shellacking by Massillon, Ohio, the Links came b ack with a 33-0 win over Scottsbluff.. Northeast has t en lettermen while Lincoln hig h h as only four. The tentative lineups will b e as follows: Li coin High Northeast High Krc':narik •• . .••••. .

WAR STAMPS * *
Gas m1sks which came into use in warfare for the first time when the Germans used poison· and mustard gas in Wotld War I, are much improved today over those used then. The Chemical Warfare Branch of the War Department issues these gas masks to every man in the service. We are taking no chances.
{~-~ .
The type pictured here is the "can" and "elephant nose" mask and costs about $9.25 each. The headgear is transparent, made of material resembling cellophane and does not cloud with the breath. You can buy two of these gas m asks with the purchase of an $18.75 War Bond. We need thousands of them. The Nation' s school children .should make ahy reasonable sacrifice to buy War Bonds and Stamps. U, S. Tr~am!I_ D_cpa~tmen l

Peggy Shelley, p residen t, after opening the meeting, introduced the ca,b inet members, and the eleven sports leaders who gave shbrt talks inviting the new girls to participate in their particular activity. Hike Held .Saturday.
A hige was planned for the following Saturday morning at 9 :00 o'clock. Hikers took their own lunch and met at the high school. Even though they hiked ten miles, the thought of findg scrap occupied their minds. Mildred Johnson, who lettered in horse back riding this year, rode in the horse show a t Hudson's Co· lonial Farm, which was held Sunday at 1:30. Pat King presented the trophies. A little light on the subject. Meaning, of cc urse, the muc.h appreciated new light bulbs at the south . end of the swimming pool. Speaking of the swimming pool, the diving board is broken, but it is .hoped that it will be fixed soon. Girl Earns Ten Emblel)'ls.
Probably the g irl seen about the gymnasium the most is Donna Todd, last year's president of G. A. A . Donna has earned ten emble ms since she has been in Lincoln high. They are speedball, basketball, baseball, hiking , t ennis, golf, horseback riding, tap dancing, rhythmic dancing and archery. Mildred Johnson placed third in the ladies seat and hands contest, riding "Honey Child. " Billy Vogelgesang w as first in the junior jumpers. class riding "Nancy Brown." Harold Wagey was second in junior jumper s class and rode "Bugle Boy." H e also teamed with Lowell Boomer to win first place in the pair jumpers class riding "Topper." Norman Walt, jr., was third in three-gaited class and second in the junior pleasure horse class, riding "Gentleman Jim" in both events. Following is the list of th.e seventeen classes : Senior. jumpers junior seat a nd hands, fine horses, h arn ess ponies, tandem, threegaitd, junior stock horses, senior stock horses, single, ladies seat and hands, junior pleasure horses, senior pleasure horses, ladies jumpers, junior jumpers and pair jumpers. ;1 Girls in the rhythmic dancing class under the direction of Miss H elen Jo Miller, are feeling the effects of the strenuous exercises which a re taken at t he beginning of the class. These exercises were inte nded to make the girls limber enough to dance gracefully.
Trip To Michigan Off For Ball Team Rationing of tires interferes \~ith competition of girls softball teams. It makes it impossible .to go to Detroit, Michigan, to compete in the national tournament. The Blackbirds, which include a. number of Lincoln high school girls, won the state championship at Omaha, after defeating the Omaha Howels ('41 state champions) 4-0, and the Russel Sports in the finals, winning 7-5 in a 12 inning battle. Lincoln high students are M axine Kennedy, shortstop; Phyllis Hoke, shortfielder; Edna Pierson, right fielder, and B ertha S.chneider, second base. Marie Bowman, Donna Todd and Harriet Turner played for the Hutchins-Hyatt. Their team led the Triple A at the Muny.
New Twirlers Precede Band In Formations Preceeding the Lincoln h~gh school _band during the half Frid ay night, were five t w irlers, including Sylvia Betz, Janet Burton, Delores Blunk, La Von Deane and. Carol Olson, the majorette, Janet Burton, and three flag twirlers; . Maxine Kennedy, Gladys Eitel and La Verne · Whiting. The band marched in from the south in ranks, fell to the rear and formed a bomber a irplane. During the formation they played the Army Air Corps song and ended with the low droning of the instruments and the twirling batons as propellors. Marching south again, they counter marched and, turning left, formed a straight line down the middle of the field. The line broke and a large "S" "B" was formed for· Scottsbluff. "How · Do You Do" was played while in formation and each · m ember of the band kneeled and the letters folded up. Back in formation, the band marched off the field to "Hail, J Hail."' Wanting to do his bit to make t he Scottsbluff vis itors feel welcome, Charles Woods, Lincoln high cheerleader, personally conducted two of the boys on a tour thruout . the school.

Having the n ational anthem played before the game would leave a far better impression with those of u s who are doing our bit for the country. Signed, A Service Man.

such a good deal after all and a little too far from home for the boys. Stroud is the lad who nosed out Lincoln's Fred Birkman to set a new mark in the 440 yard dash and Myers was the kid who gave the Links cagemen plenty of trouble in the York game. They both have reported for grid duty on the frosh squad. ' During the Massillon game the Girls' Auxiliary Bond Salesmen Corps took $1,200 worth of war ·stamps into the stands and sold $1,200 worth in a few minutes. The GABSC is made up of 80 girls, 79 of whom have fathers or brothers in the service. The 80th one did have a brother in service but he was killed in action. Frank "ouch" Watson and Jimmy McDermott dropped the R ed and Black squad last week because Of lack of interest. Left ends Dave Krcmarik and Dick Bogan were out on injuries for the Scottsbluff game. Dave received his back injury in the Massillon game but he is expected to be in good shape for the Nort heast game. Bogan turned up with a bad charley-hor se Thursday after Wednesday scrimmage. It is improbable whether he will be r~!idY for the Rockets and Links meeting. __ Boboy Glenn's nands were bruised in the Massillon game but the tape will be removed before the Northeast game and he will have a chance to do his share of the aerial work for the red and black.

This season is Ralph Beechner's sixth as head man of Lincoln high gridiron- tactics, and during that half dozen· years some nifty players have worn the Red and Black. It's a thankless task to pick any "all" team but it's fun and it gives the corner store hangers-on lots to talk about. Here is this corner's list of the b est eleven lads to perform for B eechne r and the y ears they wer e regulars: Ends : Mel Keszler, 1938-39, and J erry Regelean, 1941. Tackles: Gordon Hall, 1940-41, and Vic Schleich, 1937. Guards : Eddie Schwartzkopf, 1937, and Arden :Means, 1942. Center: Joe Parting ton, 1938. Quarterback: Fred Metheny, 1937-38. Halfbacks: Bud King, 1938-39, and Don Hansen, 1937-38. Fullback : Howard D ebus, 1937-38-39.

THOSE LEFT O.UT
The list leaves out some good players, like Willard Bunker, tackle of 1937 ; Neil McPherson, last year's all state tackle; Sid Held, end of 1937; Bob Ludwick, who later lettered three years as an end at Nebraska ; Gene Irick , guard of 1938; Bob Btuce, 1937 c enter; and a host of backs. Best of the latter grou p is Eddie Hall who some say was superior to Metheny. because of the w a y he h a ndled the t ricky T formation. Gen e Kirkendall of this year's backfield rivals De bus as a passer and runner, but nobody but Deb.us in r ecent Lincoln h igh history has been a r egular for three years. Bud King would have been if he had stayed at Lincoln h is third year.

27 to o against the Scottsbl.u ft Bearcats. By the end of the game this score was raised to the sum of 33 to 0. Towards the end of the first period, Valencia carrying the · ball around left end, lateraled to Glenn, who race d for the first marker. Patton's kick was true. Bob Glenn Stars.
The scoring resumed again in the second quarter with Bobbie Glenn again playing the · title rolG, "Bounding Bobbie" skirted left end, and eluded three Bearcat t acklers for the second tally. Once again Patton's kick split the uprights, making the · score rea d 14 to 0. Scoring seemed never to cease in the second quarter. Shortly after the next kickoff, one of the Bear• cats' passes was intercepted by alert Morris Galter, who raced 45 yards to chalk up the third touchdown. Bob Patton's boot was for the third time perfect. The ·sc ore now read Lincoln 21, Scottsbluff O. Jacobsen Races 45 yards.
The Bearcats initial first down came with only seven minutes to go 'till halftime. Another first down followed rapidly, but this was as far as it went. The Bluf· fers were forced to kick to Bob Jacobsen, who ran like a jack-rabbit 45 yards to yay dirt. Patton's kick was blocked. This ended the halftime scoring With ·the Red and Black leading 27 to 0. Starting the second half, Patton kicked off to Scottsbluff, who fa iled to net any yardage, an~ was forced to kick. Kirkendall to Valencia Scores.
From there Beechner's boys dr ove 72 yards for the final score of the game. Yardage came from O'Donnell's pass to McDermott, and the lateral p lay, Valencia to Glenn. The score came on a nea t flio from Kirkendall to Valencia in - the end zone·. Valencia's kick was wide. The final score was 33 to O. Thruout the game the Red and Black showed improvement, especially in down field blocking. This was shown in substitute J acobsen's lon g run. Scottsbluff was. never much of a threa t, but a lways a. worthy opponent. Opening the second half with a n ew 6-3-2 defense, the Links count eracted the B earcat's threat. Outstanding player for the Scotts bluff Bearcats was Jac k Selzer who punted, passed and did m uch of the running for his team. Considering the w eight disadvantage the "panharidle" boys line held up well against Coach Beech• ner's forward wall.

Walk To School Mo~'uings~ The Highway To Health
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1942
EINSTEIN ANGLEDOME
By Hobart Hays
Don't we all avoid walking if there happens
to be a. car, bicycle, bus, or some other means of transportation close by ? With the tire ghortage, more walking is necessary. And if daily walk not only benefits us physically, but gives us good mental vitality. Of course, we needn't go to the extreme and wear out the first time, but be slow and sure. .W atch our posture when walking too. Keep the ribs up and :forward, and not sunken in. If we practice good postl!l'e, daily walking will improve it and make us l0ok much better. About a half-mile increase per week and we'll soon get to the point ·w here we can look a five mile hike in the face with a smile. If we have the time to walk to school, we should do so in place of taking thH bus. It starts the day off nicely and saves money too. When gas rationing comes to the middle west, we can be prepared to walk by starting now and working into it gradually. When the ,weather is bad, it will be harder to walk to school, so let.'s start walking now 1•.rhile the mornings are still pleasant.
Remember To Save More; Prevent Unpleasant News There may come a day, although we hope it never will, when the papers will carry many captions such as ''John Smith, graduate of Lincoln high school, killed in action on the battle front.'' However, to see the need of giving the war effort NOW, is another thing·. We all can remember the spring floods which affected many Lincoln high school students. It was then the Red Cross took a hand. And what a beautiful job it was I The feeding of the hung·ry; the 11heltering of the homeless; the caring· for the• helpless. Let's not think we have done our share because we dropped a dime in the Red Cross box 1 Let's make it a habit to help the Red Cross, just as our fathers make it a habit to buy war bonds, or our mothers make it a habit to roll bandages for the Red Cross, or, because of the miHions of boys who are giving up their homes, families, comforts, and even their lives for O\ll' freedom.
New War Chest Campaign Sets I ts Goal in Millions · December 71 Since this date we have created a new w eapon of war. It is the United War Chest, serving on three fronts,-first on the home front, where victory begins, secondly on the military front, and thirdly on the fronts of the allies. After the declaration o:f war in April, 1917, nearly a year passed before the first war chest came into being. In contrast, the first "1942 model'' came after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Today, ten months later, nearly 300 United War Chests are in operation-with dozens more being organized or in prospect. A goal of more than $175,000,000 has been set for cities, in order to meet local requirements and foreign relief appeals. But some people ask why aud what are the reasons for this rapid changing of established Community Chests into War Chests, and why the popularity of war-relief appeals in almost every city and hamlet of the United States 1 Well, first of all, one answer to this lies in the will-to-victory of the eleven million people in America, who have in the past, contributed to the Community Chest. Another answer is that more than 600 American communities have a well-established habit of giving. The Lincoln War Chest campaign which represents the citizens of this community, united to conserve our time energy, and manpower, is already in its third day and will last until October 29. It is an important battle of this war which has to be won right h ere at home-,.-now is the time for every home to respond ·generolisly ! I

Pupils "Day of Doom" Is Six Days A.way Pupils are again resuming the policy of polishing the old apple, as October 27, the day that six-weeks reports come out, approaches. For the first time this semester, some pupils are paying attention to what goes on in class, and are beginning to do their daily assignments, in the vague hope that perhaps it is not too late to make one last effort. Most of us will have to burn a little "midnight oil" in prepa· ration for six-weeks tests, and use every spare moment for increasing our intelligence. When at last the "day of doom" is upon us, we may be forced to do some tall explaining to our parents, and resolve that hereafter we will keep up in our studies, in order to avoid last minute cramming.
First Aid Class Gets Experience When a member of the class fainted, pupils of Carl Manthey's fourth period first aid class Tuesday, October, 13, witnessed a practice application of first aid. A girl in the third period class fainted the same day and two boys carried her to the nurse's room on a stretcher. In the fourth period class a boy reached down to pick up a pencil and the next thing Mr. Manthey saw was that he was entirely unconscious. He was stretched out on the floor and all persons were cautioned to stay in their seats in order for the air to reach him, and in a few minutes
he was feeling much better. Volunteers in the first aid classes really believe that these lessons are worthy of the time spent on them. Knowing facts such as these may be just as valuable in peace time as in w41r time. Equipment for these classes is limited. There are 25 books for 150 persons. Jeanne Harvey, one volunteer taking first aid, thinks that all should be required to buy their own books at the very beginning so that one will always have one on hand in case that everything is not remembered. As an added precaution she added, "You also can't be sued for treating a patient if you can prove the .American Red Cross method was used." The first aid classes are learning and practicing artificial respiration. Girls are allowed to wear slacks during this practice. Shirley McVicker thinks they have "done wonders" for her because now she can at least partially stop her brother's nose · bleeds. He has them regularly and before she had first aid she could do nothing. New classes made up of either volunteers or "draftees" will start as soon as the five week course of the Monday, Wednesday, and Friday classes is completed.
Keys! Keys! Who Has Those Keys? Keys for scrap--0nly the keys belonging to Mrs. Ruth Dodge weren't meant to be for the scrap pile. Last week on We d n e s d a y morning Mrs. Dodge missed her keys in third period, when she was ready to g.o to lunch. "They were all the keys I own," she stated. It was believed that they were left in the girls rest room during second period. During third period at the study half of the period, two boys and Mrs. Dodge went through the scrap pile of keys, but they were nowhere to be found. Mrs. Dodge stated that she will never again have every key she owns on one ring. She is still seeking the missing keys:

It was just a little matter of looking at his watch that caused that maddening race between life and death. This flashy character, this little girl's "Romeo" of six feet and no less, was running. He wasn't taking those slow easy strides that simply fascinated everyone, but he was actually running, faster, ·faster and faster. He wasn't trying to make the goal line; his' best girl wasn't waiting for him. No, it was just that he had to make six blocks in five minutes. For who wants to be tardy when they have to make up for it. The pupils who are used to being late must either get up earlier or shouldn't talk in the halls so long. Making up 30 min· utes is no fun and those who don't want to had better get to school on time.
Open Forum To the Editor: It seems to me the student body does not co-operate well with the cheer leaders at our football games. In other schools the students always seem to have a very enthusiastic cheering section, and I see no reason why we can't have a peppy rooting section. If each student would really yell when the cheer leaders lead a yell there would be a noticeable improvement in the school spirit. Suzanne Owen.
Pet Alligators Seem To Amuse Marion Splichal Two little alligators are strange pets, but Marion Splichal enjoys watching them every day. Of course after they grow up, it will be a different story! They were brought to her from Florida from her brother. Even though she asked him to bring her a live alligator, it was entirely a surprise. Marion took zoology last semes• ter, and found the science course very interesting. She said that it did help her overcome her fear of snakes and lizards, so she can really enjoy her two baby alliga• tors. She wants to keep them for several years, at least, until they get to be about three feet long; then she'll give them to the zoo here in Lincoln. She has fixed up a little pen for them, and she finds them very lively. Their diet consists of fresh ground meat and fresh fish. Marion fin~s their habits interesting, and intends to keep a weekly record of their weight and growth. It takes a long time for them to grow up, but when they do, they probably won't make such nice . pets. As they grow older, they don't stay as tame, and one can't trust them too closely.

Students Groan In Anticipation Of No Spare Tires Woe is me ! ! ! ! ! This was the expression used by several stu· dents when the announcement was made recently that no · one with more than five tires could obtain a gasoline ration card. Several students have not been worrying about the scarcity of tires, because although their tires were not of good quality, they were plentiful. Even though they weren't in good condition, these tires still had a few hundred miles in them. Now they will have to be turned in, and the lives of many cars will be shortened. The part that is perhaps the hardest to take is the fact that the government might offer you as little as $1.50, and at the most $11.15, for that priceless extra tire. So begins a new era, the age of no auxiliary spare tires, and four gallons of gasoliI}e per week.
JIariety of Candy Not to Be Had Now Because of the sugar shortage, there is no variety of candy to be sold at the football games. The G. A. A. has to sell what the jobbers and wholesalers can give them, for they too are being rationed on just a few candy cars. Even though much candy is sold at games, popcorn proves to be also very popular. A total of $40.00 worth was sold from the stand for just one game.

Newcomers Play Games Orpheons Try Hand At Truth, Consequences Holding their first meeting of the semester were the Orpheons, last Thursday, October 15. The constitution was read and explained by Mary Claire Phillips. To get the new members of the club thoroughly accustomed to performing before other members, a game of Truth and Consequences was played. P eggy Kirshman, w ho failed to answer one of the questions correctly, paid the consequence by demonstrating how an opera star would hit h igh and low "C". Phyllis Weaver and Charlene Frost also missed their questions, and as a consequence had to "give out" with two old-time songs, both being sung at the same time. Ermajean Blado and Charles Taylor, each at the end of a '1ong piece of string, worked dil~gently for the caramel attached in the middle, as they paid their consequences. Charles finally won out. The only new member to answer questions correctly was Annette Jacobs. To conclude the program, Margaret Ann Amend sang a solo, "Mighty Like a Rose," by Nevin, accompanied by Adele Loder. After this, Gene Sundeen sang "I Got Plenty of Nothing," by George Gershwin, accompanied by Ma rgaret Ann.

Destroyers are the "Greyhounds of the Sea." Vnarmored, these sleek, deadly ships depend upon their speed to protect them from enemy fire. Besides their guns, they carry torpedoes and depth charges. Modern destroyers burn oil and 50 cents, the price of two 25· cent War Stamps, will pay for enough fuel to drive a destroyer one mile.
Maybe you can't be aboard a de· stroyer when it bears down on a U-boat, but you can have the satisfaction of knowing that the money you loan Uncle Sam through the purchase of War Stamps may be providing the fuel that is turning the ship's propellors.

"I think of two professors I have known, both of whom hold enviable positions in their colleges, but whose methods, manner of teaching, and purposes differ widely," states Mr. Adams. Professor Drydust is a type who, according t o the writei·, pours out a n unending stream of. names .and dates and t r ends, with no pause. Each lecture is a classic example of st upendous schola rship; and each is crammed with data. There is n o attempt to connect the facts of history with the life today- unless t he professor condescends t o explain t he meaning of the significance of a particular fact. Ada ms considers this a carping, narrow process, without thought, without significance, without humanity, an d without tolerance. On the other hand he cites a. professor who believes that hist ory is the stud y of man. His facts are comp lete, his research is thorough. For this kind history is fascinating. The students learn fo think, and they thin k readily a nd well.

Collins' boys will be out for their first victory in· seven years against the Lincoln lads, who are fresh from their victory over Northeast. Packers Record Impressive. South high men hold an unblemished record with five straight victories to their credit. To start the season, the Packers rolled ' over Creighton Prep to the tune of 14 to 6. Next on the list came Omaha Benson, who fell by the wayside 13 to 0. · With two wins to their credit on came the always powerful Omaha Tech team. Taking it in stride Coach Collins' boys easily defeated their rivals to the tune of 20 to 0. Omaha Central proved to be South's fourth notch and fell 19 to 0. Last Friday Sioux City Central walked off the field defeated 18 to 9 by the mighty boys from the South who to this date have five straight notches on their belts. Going Back. In the last seven years the Red and Black have played Omaha South ·six times, winning every encounter from them. Starting the series in 1935 the Linksmen and Packers tied 0-0. This same 0-0 performance was repeated in 1936 again, and· in 1937 no game was scheduled. In 1938 the series was . again resumed with the Links walking off with a 19-7 victory due to Howard Debus' accurate passing. 1939 saw the boys from the capital city nose out the South men 13-0. In 1940 the Links behind Eddie Hall edged out the Packers 16-7. Last year, playing in rain and mud, slinging Gene Kirkendall .threw a neat pass to Regelean to out mud fight the op· ponent 7-0. This year will find the two teams meeting on equal basis with both elevens undefeated in state competition. This game should prove one of the top grid tests of the year. The Gate City eleven is built around a couple of nifties in Tommy Novak and Rich Debielka. Those two boys do everythirig on a football field but sell tickets.

Q.
Flying School Has Obstacle Course Attracted by the excitement and action of the army across the creek north of the school, two nosey reporters happened over to see if there might be a story for the Advocate. If you haven't heard, the men from Lincoln Flying School are building !ID obstacle course there. Robert Spillane of Boston, Massachusetts, and Bud Lake of Chicago, Illinois, were just starting their work for the day and told the inquiring reporters about the field while they explored equipment already erected. By that time, school being out, little nine-year-old Myron Curtis of Elliott school told the many men,. who were around by then, "You guys are sure going to have fun swinging, on that," referring to the rope they were putting up over the creek. When the first unlucky fellow tried it, the rope was too long and he dragged his legs in the water. Captain Peterson, the director, wasn't there. Perhaps it was only for the best, because he would have been answering questions the rest of the afternoon. Robert Spillane introduced to the two students, Sargeant Teffeotelleo, M the "bone breaker" or the physical director. He said as yet men have just been introduced to the obstacle course; the appl'oach has been demonstrated to them and how to take the different objects.

" No caps, a sore heel, a bad cold are often heard as excuses in swimming classes for not going in the pool," says Miss Story, "but sooner _or later they get awfully old."

Hu.mans Are Supplied As Tractor Weights It seems as thou·g h . the coaches are killing two birds with one stone. Seen recently doing some "hot conference stuff," were the coaches on the back of the tractor as it was dragging the field in the oval. Perhaps they needed a little privacy, and wanted to make sure no one overheard the plays they were talking over. But in this day and age, who can tell where spies may be ? Are you sure you know who was driving th e tr a c tor, coaches? .

Vernon A. Forbes, conductor of instrumental music at Northeast high school, led the formation of bands in the "Star Spangled Banner." The Northeast band then returned to formation and marched off as the Lincoln high band formed and marched to the stands.
Panel Discusses Athletic Question "Should high school athletics be continued during war-time," was the title of the_ panel discussion held at the Round table meeting, Thursday, October 15. Members of the panel were Tom Sorensen, W-illiam Rotton, Mary Louise Wiedman and Ray Simmons. Tom, who upheld the negative side of the question, by saying that every studen t should be given equal physical training 'by the coaches also stated that the teams should not travel by train or bus and hold up the shipment of vital war supplies to the boys at the front. · The rest of the panel declared that if the war department didn't want high school teams traveling on the trains it would1ft let them. The meeting was clbsed by thti president, Harold Luedtke. Fred Birkman, a former Links, is now working for Lockheed in California. Paul Collins, '28, former Lincoln high drum major and drummer wi t h J ack Teagarden 's orchestra during the last few years, is in the Army now,

A lot of moans and groans are heard these days about the drilling the boys have to do in gymnasium class. But with the draft age being lowered to 18, a number of these boys will soon be wearing the uniform of the Army, Navy or Marines. Many of them will come back and tell how much the drill helped. Of course these things are taught in camps, but it takes time, which in this war is precious to the second. In camps drilling is one of the first things taught and if they have to take more time teaching ever yone the first principles of paces and formations, it will be just that much longer before this war can be won. So get "hep, two, three, four!." "The Star Spangled Ba.nner,'' our National Anthem, played during the half of the NortheastLincoln high game -Friday night, was truly a work of art. Under the direction of Vernon Forbes the notes of the anthem played by the two bands were reported to have carried; within the radius of one mile and all who heard thrilled at the beauty. It. is hoped that the soldier from the air base who wrote to the papers was present at the game, to enjoy with the rest one of the finest pieces of music ever written, played superbly. Dick Bogan returned to s chool Monday after spending several days in bed with a severe charleyhorse. After using the heat lamp at school, Dick's leg seemed to be getting worse. He consulted his doctor and the doctor put him to bed immediately, asserting that if those heat treatments had not been given at school, he would have had to amputate the leg. Take it easy, Bog. Aft er t he T hursday scrimmage between north field a nd t he reserves, which ended in a 6-0 win for Coach Worrall's reserves, the north field spirits seemed to be down -. except four excited north field stars w ho had received the word to report to the reserves. They were Joe Marvin, Donald Nelson, Mort Rathbone an d _George Fagerberg. Coach Worrall stated that _the Reserve football team has a game with the Beatrice high school Reserve team next Tuesday in the oval at 2 :15. The largest crowd of the season attended the Lincoln-Northeast game last Friday night. According to David · Sell approximately 4,500-5,900 people were present. The exact number is not known because it rs indefinite as to the season tickets sold to Northeast.

Second canto was a thriller for the Links' fans with two fast touchdowns manufactured by the 'T'. formation. The first one came when O'Donnell returned a Chick Knight punt for 10 yards to the Rockets' 44. The 'T' opened up with Valencia picking up six yards through left tackle.

Kirkendall Pas.ses. O'Donnell pitched on e ou t to K irkendall behind the line of scrimmage with Kirkendall flipping to Fox a long one which fell a little out of his reach. Quarter·· back O'Donnell sett led down to some fancy running of the 'T ' w ith Valencia and Kirkendall picking up 10 yards and Kirkendall set the pins for the first pay-off by skirting the end for 23 yards. Chick Knight downed him on t he 5 yard line. The game captain Bob Glenn who had played a fine defensive game, plunged over from the 5 yard line standing up for the initial tally. This play had the Northeast line guessing what had happened. It was O'Donnell's faking to Valencia with Glenn taking the ball through the center of the line. Bob Patton came in and s plit the up-rights for a 7-0 lead with the second quarter not half over. Northeast's s tar , John Knight, . who had entered t h e. game just one piay previous, elected to field a punt on his goal line later in the period and was dow n on the 4 yard line. There were one and a half minutes left when John took the ball, but was stopped cold. The Rockets then decided to punt out. The kick was short and the Red and Black took over j.u st 32 yards from pay dirt. Kirkendall dropped the seed to O'Donnell on the 19 for a 'first down. T h e Links then t ook to the air , w it h Kirkendall flipping four straight passes. The final pass was good for another Lincoln high touch d own. The first pass was knocked down by Jim _Kulawick. The second was too long for Bob Jacobsen and t he third was nabbed by Fox for a gain of 5 yards. T he pay off t oss was from Kirkendall to Harry Fox in the end zone. Har ry snatched the ball out of the mitts of t wo Rocket backs. Patton again converted to give Lincoln high a 14·0 half time lead. The Second Half. In t he last two· stanzas, the Links made t w o very serious threats.

Sports Classes Do Calisthenics Ralph Beechner 's a nd Charlea Worrall's sports classes the first few weeks have been practicing army drills and calisthenics. They also do chin ·ups, and many other such practices, in order to get in shape for the conflict ahead. Beechner said, "The boys are very enthusiastic abou t all t hese drills, and are gett ing a kick out of it." As soon as the army has fin· ished the obstacle course which it is building -in Antelope park, the spor ts classes will get to use it in further t raining. "The first few days, the boys were pretty 'green' in all these drills, but they're getting along in fine shape now," the coach remarked.

Convention Of Student Body To Feature In accord with the war effort and the need for conservaDiscussions tion, the student council passed unanimously this statement on Hallowe 'en at the meeting of October 21. It was sent to the committee of 100, home room representatives and the L club which groups also gave unanimous approval. The statement is as follows: We, the members of the student council, pledge ourselves to refrain from any Hallowe 'en activity which destroys property, either public or private, or which endangers the safety of any person. We feel that causing unnecessary expenditure of money or labor, in these times, is not only unpatriotic, but _amounts to sabotage. , We also consider the act of asking for handouts as a public nuisance. We suggest small parties in private homes for the celebration of Hallowe'en. We are asking the rest of the students of Lincoln high school to unite with us in this stand.

Girls Fill Quota For Messengers Boys Requested In Second Call Registration for_ civilian defense m essenger service was not so good as expected last week. The quota for Lincoln high was 530, 265 being boys a nd 265 girls. The quota was more than reached for the girls, but additional boys were needed. A smaller number Of boys is partially due to their having jobs, which prevent them from attending the meetings. "The quota should be reached, because some of those who registered may be disqualified for some reason or other, and some may move from , the city," declared H . C. Mardis, principal. For those who still wished to register, another chance was. given this week. It is worth anyone's time, because this is an important war effort, according to Mr._Mardis. This course has been planned by the office of civilian defense in Washington, D. C., and includes instruction on how secret control and report centers function, _the local air raid zoning system and blackout requirements. Messenge rs· will get other types of instruction on how they will operate during an air raid, such as map reading and aircraft identification. They will also receive three hours of instruction in fire defense against incendiary bombs, two hours of gas defense, including the use of gas masks, and two hours of drill in charge of army officers. Seven hours of messenger training will be completed before Christmas vacation After Christmas vacation messengers who do not already hold Red Cross first aid certificates, or a Scout first aid merit badge, will be given Red Cross first aid. The first meetings will be held Wednesday, November 4, at Lincoln and Northeast high schools, and will continue on Wednesday evenings from 7 to 9 p. m. through December 16. "Opportunity to take this course," stated Mr. Mardis, "is to be highly desired since much of this material cannot be secured in any other way, and will be limited to persons actually enrolled."

Why Leave It To a Few? We Could All Help Out High school students are now more than ever a vital part of the war. Eighteen and nineteen-year-old boys are now to be drafted. This means many of the boys here in high school or who will just be getting out of high school will have to give t~ a few things and make more sacrifices, for many of them are to become a vital part of the nation's forces. For some it may be giving up school and college, a job, and for all, the things dear to them; for others it is what they ha:ve wanted, to get in there and help beat the axis, to show they have courage and strength to fight and bear hardships as well as or better than their fathers or brothers. Many young boys understand the present crisis, and are willing and eager to join the army or other branches of the service, get the best of training and become strong, sturdy and brave, as fighting men. ·That young boys being drafted are going so willingly, shows that young Americans know what it's all about. Everyone of us must do something, whether it be big or small. Girls will have their parts to play too, both in and olit of school. There will be Red Cross work to do, first aid to learn and some will soon be driving trucks and ambulances in the service. But, by all means we who are in school must not · neglect our school work. We must study au the harder, learn all the more and learn it .in a shorter period of time. After all, our country needs-well educated persons. . . America is calling for all its youth to help, boys are being drafted, and here in your own ichool both boys and girls have signed up as civilian defense messengers.

Be Brave And Saving; Abandon Truth Books
The romance b"etween Jim Schrepel and Phyllis Smith started a year. ago when Lincoln high went to Scottsbluff. It also seems that it still is pretty solid; and we do mean solid.
The "drip" comes forth with a notebook you sign my truth-book 1" And so come about many hard feelings. If a· person has any backbone he will denounce those vile creatures of literature. If one does not like a person, have the gumption to say it out right instead of being the coward and sneakingly writing it in a book where no one ;will Jtnow who wrote it. Maybe it's done just for spite or because the writer is in a bad mood and he feels sorry afterwards. But must truth books be tole;. ated 1 They are of no conceivable good and only a. waste of paper.

"What the ' heck ' will it do?" was the perplexing question which prompted the action of a small boy not so long ago. The lad crosed a railroad track on his way to school everyday. He was too young to notice that in these times many more trains were passing that crossing than he had ever before noticed. He was old enoug~- however to note that not far from the crossing was the pile of ties that had been stacked there as far back as ·he could remember. One of these days, wondering about the ties, he tried to answer his question. Placing one railroad tie over the tracks. he continued on his way to school. Later, the papers carried the answer to his question. .-The. extra .tie had ripped the oil tanks of the engine and sparks ignited the oil, burning several costly cars. · He just wanted to see "what the 'heck' it would do?" Never realizing the posibilities .and probabilities,-outcomes of the act. We in high school with young brothers, sisters and friends can do our part now by impressing upon them the importance of railroad tracks, the engines that run on them, the safety of the engineers, brakemen, firemen and others running the trains, and the scores of soldiers and workmen being transported here and there in the defense of our country. · This is something we can do. The young children shouldn't be playing around tracks at any time. It's up to older people to stress the importance now more than ever that the trains go through. This is a plea to all of us to .aid in this national emergency. Keep the track$ clear that all trains may be kept rolling with the minimum of danger to life and property and a maximum contribution to the cause of freedom.

Cheer Up! Zoo.! Suits Obtainable Any of you cats who thought it was strictly a blue note when the W.P.B. ordered the ban on those so-.c alled beautiful zoot suits can stop.weeping. The manu, facturers have resumed production, but the newly made · ones will be entirely of cotton. This is not so. bad though, as the lads. say that most zoot suits now in circulation are made of nearly all cotton. By the way, this means you can be in style and still be patriotic, a.s the supply of cotton is very plentiful. Zoot suits, in case you haven't heard, a re those grotesque looking hunks of material which make nearly everyone "look strictly from hunger." If you see a lad coming down the a venue with a coat on w'hich hits him at t he ·. knees; breeches which are too large at the chest, which is where they begin, and too . small at the bottom, you know it's a Zoot suit.

Open Forum To the Editor: The editorial .in the October 21 edition of t he Advocate on walking to school for health is a very good idea for the pupils who live within a short distance ef the school. But wh at about the pupil who carries his books home at night and has a long distance to go? By the time he reaches school in the morning he is so tired that he stumbles into the building, gives a sigh of relief and drops into his seat. ·The rest of the day he is so tired he cannot concentrate on lessons and the teachet' can't seem to understand. When the 3 :10 bell rings he has to carry all the.s e books home again a nd the ne~t day goes as the day before. Walking is a good idea to keep healthy, but if someone w ill solve the book situation I'm sure all will be happy to walk. · llamae Gerlach.

This is a wonderful opportunity for you to become acquainted with the teachers, who may have b een merely a signature on a slip of paper or a .v oice over the tel ephone before this time. T.oo often the parent misjudges teachers because he lacks personal kno>vledge about the teachers and has h ad no personal contact with them. Without the formality of Tegular class room sessions, patents and teachers may m eet on an even basis and discuss mutual problems of interest. Open house, this y c;ir, ·also affords you a chance to see what the public schools are accomplishing in reg·ard to the war prograi:n, and how they are training pupils to fonder serviee to their country. One of the highlights of the evening will be the dramatization of Lincoln high s~hool 's war activities on the stage in the auditorium. 'l'his dramatization will give everyone a elear idea as .to how far the facL1lty 8.n.d student body has gone in aiding the war effort of America. L et's hav·e the largest turn-out ever on this occasion.
Schools Prepare Youth For Service to Country In President Roosevelt's proclamation concerning the twenty-second observance of American Education week, November 8 to 14, he stated , "The idealism, courage a nd devotion to d uty of millions of American youth serving on every front today attest the q;iality of training they have received in h omes, churches, and schools.'' Since the. nation is involved in the most critical time in its history, the problems being considered during American Education week are those concerning the war program in schools. T eacher s of America have a job to do in h elping pupils to cultivate their knowledge and skill, and to serve their country in such wartime needs as may be required. But, just as important, t eacher s must aid in molding the strong character, and strengthening the morale of the pupils, so that t hey m a y develop into loya l citizens, who will b ring America to victory in the p,rcsent conflict. Ultimately, the pupils and faculty shonld work together whole-heartedly in making necessaiy plans for a · ·schools at .war '' pro·gram. Cooper ation between the stu dent bodv ~nd the faculty is more important now, tha;1 ever before. If eve1·yone cooper ates and does his part, the war will b e brought to a speedy and victorious conclusion, and education again be resumed in a free a.nd pe;:ic>efol ""·orld .

Training for Messenger Service Requires Effort A number of bovs and girls discovered last Wednesday th at the messen ger s errice meetings arc not planned exclusively for en tertainment and r elax ation. "'l'he futt of being patriotic' ' seemed to w ear off somewhat when they began t o realize that it will t ake a lot of r eal effort and study and concen tration to complet e t.his com se. The speeches were tru:ly a bit long. S traight verbal ba rrag es a1id no action does not appeal to t een-a ge pupils. The group certainly l acked a patriotic atmospher e. Enthusiasm was vague, d etach ed. Many sincerely felt that the group was too l ar ge (there were approxima tely 400 present ), that it wasn't charged with enough enthusiasm by the speeches. 'l'hey \\rant action, and those in char ge of this prog ram promise t h at they will get it before lon g. And th ey will b e d ivided into sma..ller g roups and giv en a chance to dtill aud p articipate in activities to a gr eat er exten t. And r em cinber , the meetings are n ot planned fo r ente rtainment. P erhaps those who came determined to h ave a good t ime, who giggl ed and chattered and "swapped " the latest gossip across the aisles- pcl'h aps t h ey can s ee t h is situation in a different light. There is anoth er meeting toni ght at 7 :00. Remember, L incoln n eeds 800 pupils to train as mess en gers.

Did you know coyotes have manners ? You'll find this out and then some when you read, "Sierra Outpost," by Lila Lofberg and David Malcolmson. High in the Sierras, 8,000 feet above sea level, cut off from the outside world by impassable snows for eight months of the year, lies the Florence Lake sta tions of the Southern Californi a Edison company. There the torrents are regula.t ed which go to furnish the power, and light that lights Los Angeles. And there during months· of winter solitude, Lila Lofberg .and her engineer-husba nd lived and made friends of untamed birds and beasts of the mountains. During one of the most furious storms that ever raged the mountains, Jerry, the first coyote, came, famished and perishing in the snow. The Lofbergs threw her s ome bread and meat. It was the beginning of an extraordinary friendship, for after Je rry c;ime, came Tom, and after Tom ca me Dick, the coyote clown who danced for his supper. When Mrs. Lof· berg snowshoed through t he silent forest, one or another cif them followed as a faithful escort. Not only did the coyotes come, but other a nimals and birds in wide variety. And in surroundings like this, Lila Lofberg established the highest year-around bird banding station in the United States biological survey. Excitement, humor, action, and dignity r eign in the book, "No Life for a Lady," by Agnes Morley Cleaveland. The tale is of the author's adventuresome life in the west before the refinement Of t he life Of a present day lady was known. True excitement and suspense are found in the relating of rides and encounters while on errands to nearby towns a bout twenty miles dista nce. There is humor in the tales of the duo-characters of people outstanding by right of herit age, who of necessity, become h ard and sturdy in the rough life, but who never theless try to keep their dignity. Mm. Cleaveland told her story simply, recalling memories long forgotten. The death of her fath·er, his accomplishments when alive, the ma rriage of her wealthy wi~ owed mot.her, t he brush-riding and others a re combined in a story suited to the t astes of persons who enjoy true excitement of western living although it is "No Life for a Lad.)' ."
the air or by enemies from within our gates. As an air raid warden one has specific duties to perform. One must study them, review them, ·I>ractice them over and over so that he may carry them out in an air raid without failure or error. One must know his sector as intimately as others know their own homes, He must know his people well. To them, he is the embodiment of all civilian deferise. In every way, he must seek to gain their confidence so that in any time of stress he may more easily calm arid reassure them and avert panic. As he becomes better acquainted with .the individuals in his sector, 'he will learri whom to call upon for informal help at such times. An air raid warden is not a policeman nor a fireman nor a doctor, although his duties are related to theirs. As an air raid warden, one has an unique position in American community life. It is a position of leadership and trust that demands an effort not less than one's best.
Curlers and Lipstick Essential for Girls Your "inquiring reporter" has been at it again, this time asking the girls, "If you had you choice and only one choice of the following, what would you take: Lipstick, curlers, rouge, powder or nail polish ?" Willa Steelman-"Lipstick. I don't use curlers and very little powder." Jean Bogan-"Curlers!· Have you ever seen me with my hair straight?" Kathryn Bow m a n- "Lipstick, because I feel undressed without it." Evaline Salisbury- "Curlers. I have to have something to do my hair with, and I can do wi t hout t he others." .Shirley "Shirts" Hinds-"My ·hair looks bad enough even when I put it up; but without curlers , eek! It would be straight as a string!" Mildred "Midge" Heaton"Lipstick. I can get along without the others but I look sort of sick without lipstick.'' Ge ra ldine Michel-"Lipstick, because I look dead without it.''
Flying Student Escapes When Lights Fail Marvin "Bud" Wagner, a former University of Nebraska student, brother of Donna Wagner, a junior, is now training at Luke Field, Ph oenix, Arizona. Before he reached this elevat ed post, he had to go through much complicated training. "Bud" was sent first to Santa Ana, California, receiving station for all a.i r cadets. He wrote his parents of his most unfortunate memory. "Bob Hope came to entertain us," wrote Bud, "but my group and I couldn't go as we had no full dress uniforms!" After Santa Ana, he went to Visala, California for his primary trai11ing. At Visalia, Bud doing night flying had a narrow esca pe. "About a 100 feet up in the air,'' he. wrote, "I turned on my landing lights, which were so strong that they killed the whole light bat t ery in my plane! After wha t seemed hours, trying everything I knew, they came on ver y dimly and I was able to land safely." "While in formation night fiying," Bud wrote, "We fly in one big V with the instructor at the head, and students following. In order to keep formation, I had to watch my instructor's light very closely; After flying for about two hours, t he . light a head just seemed to hypnotized me, and suddenly I found myself right on his plane. To avoid an accident, I quickly dipped ' down and when I finally st raightened my plane, I looked around for my formation. All I could see were two dim lights five miles distant. I caught up with them in a short time, and we confurther tinued without any trouble."
War-Time Dilemma What Cha gonna' do when your tires· ate thin, An~ you want to go for your weekend spin? Or maybe·, instead, your gas tank's low, They've startin' to ration gas you know.)

You start to 'phone her, an' then you stall, Maybe fortune will ·smile on you after all ; 'Cause there's Bill next door, he's got a car, If you don't mind squeeks and an occasional jar. So you run to the .phone, ..and discover that His battery's dead and his tires are flat. You decide once more to call t he girl But. no, give your brain just one more whirl. Of course! The bus! It's just the deal, Then you start to think of the cold you'll feel; On the jaunt from the bus to her house and back. That's out. Once more the future's black. You grab the phone and call her house Oh, what will she think of you ? You louse'. "What's that ? A cold ~ Well, that 's too bad. "I'm sure she'll miss the time she'd have had. 'It's .all right Mrs. Jones, say 'HELLO' for me, "Maybe next week we can go on our spree." Well, there it is, you feel just grand When the phone rings, and you · reach out your hand And answer it; "Yes? that you, Joe ? "You got the car! Double-date ? No. "I'm sorry, I'm afraid it's too late now "To get a date, and anyhow; "With luck like mine, the tires would go; "An' tires just can't be got, you know. Don Shephard.
Open Forum To All Young Patriots: You know, I r eally don't think we realize what a crisis the worldwide situation of today is. Have you ever imagined Lincoln a smoking, twisted mass of wreckage? These homes and stores, everything that is beautiful, everything that means home a nd security to us demolished? Not many of us have. It is not a pleasant thought. So- why think it ? It's because we then r ealize the stark reality of it all. This is no novelty-our nation is at war- but are we individually?. High school students seem to be at the age of tender pride and foolish backwardness. Don't ridicule the enthusiastic efforts of the little children. They've got the fire and zeal we all should have. I'm sure no one would look down upon you if you showed a real war t ime spirit. What we need are some good leaders- someone to get feeling running high in a fulltime, all-out effort. This is nothing to pass over lightly. Take it upon yourself. When a· Scr ap Drive comes up do your best- you're not doing it for your school, or city, or state. You're doing it for Uncle Sam- to keep those Stars and Stripes flying ! Ma ke each wartime problem your own burden. Remember we could Jose this war. Don't fool yourself- it's going to take wor k and sacrifice · from everyone of us. Don't get lax, don't begmdg·e the time, or work, or .things you've given up. Won't you f eel well r ep ai d if we can retain our freedom and democracy? Of cours.e you will. Now let's r eally show them What We can do. YOU a re vital in this war, and you can be a leader.

Lincolnettes' Writers Hear Joh Related Past Sponsor
To Girls Club Mrs. Ruthalee Jorgenson, chairman of the Lincolnettes and assistant supervisor of Lincoln recreation, spoke at the open meeting of the business girls club, Monday, October 26. "Women and war work are interesting," Mrs. Jorgenson said. "I have several friends who are doing voluntary war work and others are getting paid for it. Everyone has a part in making the men at the Lincoln Air Base feel at home. The men feel kindly towards the citizens of Lincoln and they respect them. We in Lincoln extended a welcome to these men and it was well worth our effort." One of the important questions brought up is "Why not have high school girls in the Lincolnettes ?" Mrs. Jorgenson answered this. by saying Lincoln has enough older girls to fill this group and be dance and social partners for the soldiers. She said the girls in Lincoln high have a war job. Many of the boys here in school may soon become soldiers and it is up to the high school girls to k eep their morale up. Think how they would feel if all the high school girls left them and went down to entertain the soldiers. The Lincolnettes job is not all fun. Many find this out and drop gut. The city hospitality committee's job is to find places for the soldiers' out-of-town guests to stay when the hotels are full. They· also entertain these visitors while the men are at the base. Women are going from house-to-house to try to find rooms for these visitors. Mrs. Jorgenson concluded by saying, "There is plenty for the high school girl to do. How about first aid or one of the many clubs?"

Leslie Metheny . Hi! Ho! I hope everyone saw the Mummers play because it was swell! and I think the entire cast deserves a big hand. Flash! Fhlsh! Flash! Christine Deines and Bill Wild have decided to hold hands only with each other from now on, which . must mean real love. Bill . Dickson has been seeing a lot , of sophomore Arleen Peterson which isn't a bad deal! Why has Tom Green been so interested in history lately? He's been showing all the girls how the Mar~ ginal Line was taken. How come, Tom? . S o m e t h i n g new! Frank ·Watson h ad a date with · Gloria Schizas. Another steady deal has come to pass between Bobbette Betz and Bill Sch uman. It seems that a week or so ago there was a hayride. Dick Schultz went with (Surprise) Donna Hollaway. Marilyn Mardis said "Present" along with Jack Nickens. Janice Becker was escorted by none other than Bob Hogan. The date November 7 will stand clearly as a red-letter day from now on. It happens to have been "Sadie Hawkins Day." Which means, of course, that the girls reverse the game and take the boys out. Janice Pauley escorted to the play and then Turnpike, Keith Atkinson, who, by the way, has been making special trips every T u e s d a y and Thursday to p ay a visit. Wilma Beiderman carried Wally Munro's comb and wallet around, too, while Mary Claire Phillips bought .Jack Wendstrand cokes between every dance. Happy Birthday, Dick Boga n, and may you have many more.

Joseph Pulitzer's famous bequest in 1911 attracted more wide• spread attention than any since the scholarship fund left by Cecil Rhodes, according to Miss Nelie Putney speaking at writers club on November 2. Miss Putney, once sponsor for the club, d escribed Pulitzer's life and a ccomplish· ments and his influence on American journalism. Born in Hungary, Joseph Pulitzer migrated to America during the Civil war. Together with Willia m Randolph Hearst he · edited the St. Louis Post Dispatch and immediately began to show the influence of n ewspapers by advocating and producing civil reforms. Later he purchased the New York World and used it as a tool in putting down political corruption . Probably his most famous editorial was the one in whi ch he urged the raising of a fund to buy a pedestal for the Statue of Liberty which France was shipping to the United States. "Pulitzer believed newsmen ought to be trained just like doctors and lawyers," said Miss Put~ ney. "He gave money to Columbia university to establish the first school of journalism in America in 1903. The advisory board was to be composed of newsmen from· leading newspapers." The Pulitzer awards are made annually for the best books, plays, cartoons , distinguished servi~e by a newspaper and editorial work, and, up until recently, awarded three traveling scholarships for distinguished work at Columbia university. 0
In Other Schools Heroes of World wars I and II and the St. Paul, Minnesota, basketball champions of 1917 were honored by students of St. Paul hig h school, St. Paul, Minnesota, at homecoming. The Cogwheel stated that witches, floating through the air via a broomstick, the smell of hay and cornstalks and laughing pumpkin lanterns created the atmosphere. In Southwest high school, Kan- · sas City, Missouri, students have been cautioned to dress warmer than in former winters as the entire building temperature is to be lowered from 74 degrees to 65. Girls may have to modify "olden days" when women wore 10 and 15 petticoats, not just to be in fasltion, but to keep warm, the editor of the Southwest Trail suggests. Sioux City Central high school has a radio club for those who are interested in learning to write, act and direct for radio, according to the Central High Record. Members of the club write radio plays which are· produced over the air. Members take all the parts in the play and also furnish the sound affects. Last year one dramatic prog'ram and one humorous play were presented weekly. At present, Central high students are giving radio plays every Friday night for the vocational department of the board of ectucation.
Forum Members Speak To Club At Meeting Three members spoke at a meeting of the Forum in 326 last Monday. Wally B ecker, speaking on "Some Phase of the War," went into detail on Czechoslovakian strategy in the war. In keeping with Hallowe'en, Sanford Finkelstein told of different superstitions and their significance on Hallowe'en. Frace Heins spoke on "Women in War," dividing them into three prominent sections, the WAACs, the WAVEs, and industry.
'Seven Sisters' Prompts a ,L augh a Minute; Cast Outdoes .ftself In Giving Production Riotous humor which had responsive audiences holding their sides was the result of the Hungarian comedy, "Seven Sisters," which was presented by the Mummers, junior-senior dramatic society, in a matinee performance, Friday and an evening production Saturday, November 7, in the Lincoln high school auditorium. Action begins in earnest the moment the bewitching Mitzi, portrayed by Patricia King (matinee) or Elizabeth Tobin (evening performance), arrives home ,in disgrace because she has been expelled from school for running away to a masque ball. Joining her six other "husbandless" sisters, the nineteen-year-old Mitzi is reduced to the age of fifteen to increase the matrimonial chances of her three older sisters, Katinka (Joan Overman, matinee; Lois Hoffman, evening performance), Sari (Joyce Stuve), and Ella (Jeanne Zehrung) . Roles of Mitzi's three younger sisters, Terka, Liza and Klara were played
Orchestra Plays At Presentations The orch~stra, under the direction of Bernard Nevin, was divided into two groups to play at the Mummers presentations of "Seven Sisters." As the audience came in, the orchestra played "American Youth," a march by Fred Caver. Other numbers heard between acts were "Legend" by Merle J, Isaac, "Hungarian Dances, Nos. 3 and 6" by .Johannes Brahms, and " The Russian Sailor's Dance" by Reinhold Gleere, w.h ich was played as an overture.

Speaking to the members of Girl Reserves, Monday, November 2, Mrs. Phillip Frazier, an Indian woman w ho was former secretary of the Y. W. C. A., told of some of her experiences in working with Indian girls. When requested to sing, she responded ith two !ndian love songs, explaining ater the first that the manner of dropping the voice on the last note was typical of most Indian tunes. "It was in 1924 that I ndians b ecame citizens in their land, for it is their land and your civilization," she said. "There are n ow some 300,000 Indians in the United States, 150 tribes, each tribe speaking a different language." In bringing out the theme of November m e.etings, "World Fellowship, " Mrs. Frazier told the girls of an erroneous idea of some Americans that Indians on reservations have nothing to do and are being cared for by the government. Admitting that these Indians have nothing to do any more than a white person would on a farm if he is not a farmer, Mrs. Frazier stated that the Indians, bei~g citizens, are not cared for by the government. In conclusion she made a plea to the g irls to help in e\Cery way possible to prepare for the way of life after the great social upheaval which is now taking place, with the ever-present thought, "Go.d is working His purpose out," and "In Christ there is no East nor West." The program as planned for the meeting of November 16 is a talk by Miss Elizabeth Rowe, associate director of the U. S. 0 ., r epresenting the national order of the Y. W. C. A. On October 24, a cold autumn night, fifteen Girl Reserves from Mary B a rstler's finance committee and Betty Heckel's progra m committee went to Pioneer's park. There they spent the night in the "Y" cabin. The evening was spent eating apples and popcorn, w hile many tried square dancing.

Grand Island Entertains Lincoln in Season Finale Purple and Gold Eleven Host to Red and Black In Deciding Grid Contest Third-City Team Has Lost Only To l{earney With a newly inspired team under their new coach, Jerry Lee, Grand Island will be ready and waiting when Coach Ralph Beechner's boys invade the Third City November 13, for their last game of the season. Boasting a record of four victaries, two ties, and one defeat, the Islanders are sur~ to put up a better fight than they did last year in- the oval. The Purple and Gold outfit has defeated Norfolk 20-14, Hastings 13-6, Gothenburg 13-0, North Platte 12-0, and has deadlocked with Ord and Columbus. Grand Island's only defeat came :When it was edged out, 7-6, by Kearney, a team Lincoln defeated in its first game of the season. I.slanders Are Old Rivals. Going back & few years, the Third City boys have defeated Lincoln high twice in six years. In 1941 the Red1and Black slapped a 53-0 setback on the Islanders in a game that was cut short in the last half, In 1940 the always tough Third City lads shattered the Links state championship hopes by winning 12-0. In the previous years, Lincoln's three consecutive s tate champion. ship teams knocked off the Purple and Gold 54-0 in 1939, 28-0 in 1938, and 7-0 in 1937. In 1936 Grand Island set back the Red and Black 6-0 to claim the title of mythical state 'champions. From past year records, and this year's impressive team, Lincoln will have no easy. time in adding another notch to its victory belt. Built around Halfback Callihan, the Islanders have scored 71 p oints against their opponents' 34. Grand Island can put up a line against the Links that averages well · over 170 pounds, but their starting line will probably w eigh less. Their. backfield averages 158 pounds.

Tech Crushed; Worst Defeat History Notes The Links outclassed the Omaha Tech eleven ·in every department in a track meet which ended 51-0, the worst defeat handed the Maroons in their series with the Red and Black, Wednesday night, October 28, in the oval. Lincoln .fans saw one of the best exhibitions of offensive ball ever to be played in the oval with all three of Beechner's strings boost; ing the count. Lincoln racked up a touchdown in the first minute of play and never stopped the touchdown parade until the final gun. Halfback, Bobbie J acobsen, junior, who took the starting birth for the first time, t a llied twice. Roger O'Donnell, speedy little quarterback, matched tha t , while Kirkendall, Valencia, Pickerell and Gus Eager, a third stringer, accounted for 6 points respectively. With Kirkendall picking 17yards on the first play w hich landed the ba ll on the Tech 36, J acobsen scampered through the center of the line off the T and cut back to cross the double strip without being touched. Patton booted the ball between the uprights for the extra point. Kirkendall Makes Score 13-0. The second touchdown . came after a 48 yard drive, with Kirkend all eating up most of the yardage with gains of 13 and 6 yards respectively. H is 6-yard smash through left tackle brought the count to 13-0. · Patton's attempted placement was wide of the uprights. The run back of Tech's p unt for 27 yards by B ob Jacobsen set the pins for the third tally . O'Donnell carrie<;i the mail for the capital city eleven on a 35-yard sweep . of the Maroons' right end and his first taste of pay dirt_ The Link s ·line leaked on the play and ·right guard, Sartino of Tech blocked Patton's a ttempted k ick. Fir st quarter ended 19-0. Tech's offensive attack was s t opped cold when Mason was forced to make a kick which went out on the Lincoln 11 ; 89 yards of h a rd driving on the p art of Kirkendall, Valencia and Glenn chalked up the fourth touchdown. K irken· dall, leather lugging half back, p icked up 23 yards for t he longest run of the downfield onslaught. O'Donnell caught Dutch Whit e's proteges flat footed when he pulled the qua rterback sneak from the 1 yard line. This gave the Lincoln fads a 25-0 lead. Gle nn's k ick was wide. T ech elected to· kick off. Bob Glenn returned the ball to Lincoln's 40 after a 20 yard run bac k.

New Lingo Introduced A.t Football Assembly How many of us have wo.n· dered just what Reid Devoe wa~· saying in that stream of lingo mixed · up with a dash of loud shouting and a bit of strenuous pantomimed emot.ion at the last football assembly, October 28. Well, we have finally discovered the real meaning and will give it to ·y ou straight. Reid calls his ·new invention "pharsen language~' and he has. acquired it tall by himself. It seems that it started when he would get awfully angry and wanted to cuss but since there were . ladies present, he exploded with a stream of con· fused words-and you know what was the result. Of 'c ourse he knew what he was. saying, but everyone around him couldn't. So it was in the assembly. He had written down on little cards what he was supposed to be saying as a representative of Omaha Technical high school and all he had to do was just to give forth with the pharsen language. Reid wrote the sketch originally for the senior play, but it didn't fit in there, so he rewrote it and used it for the assembly instead. It turned out to be one of the funniset assemblies th.at one person ·has ever put on. Beechner's crew m arked. another tally in the third canto on a pass play off t he T formation from Leikam to Kirke nda ll to Jacobsen, who scored the sixth touchdown to make it 38-0. T he kick was g ood. A 45 yard pass from slinging Kirkendall to "Herman" McDermott broug ht the pigskin to the Lincoln 6 , where Don Pickerell, rugged second string back, piledroYe t hroug h the center of the Maroon line, for the seventh touchdown. Hudkins converted ·by running over for the extra point. The last tally was chalked up by a third string line and a combination of second and third string backs. H udkins dashed 30 yards before being brought down on Lincoln's 33. On the nex t play, Gus Eager , shifty quarterback, :;kirted the end and out-manuevered several . would-be t ackles, for a 33 yard run to add 6 points for the Links. His pass for the extra point was· complete, t o inflict a 51-0 · slaughter on t he over-rated Omah a prepst ers. POS. TECH LINCOLN L . E . Brunson • ••.• • • •• .•••• Krcmarik L .T.

by
Kirkendall, and after a . few plays he carrie d the mail around right end for the score after only .three minutes of · play. Bob Patton's kick was bad, as were all ·the eit• tra point tries of the afternoon. Score 18~0 at Half.

The Red and Black for a -time was laid up in its scoring spree, but resumed it in the fourth quar• t er. Bringing the l eather tn the 5 yard line, Bob Glenn surprised everybody by slinging a neat p ass to Dave Krcmarik to ,,make the final score read 30 to 0.

There on this island of war, forJner classmates of Lincoln high ineet a few years after graduation. They are: 1st Lt. Thomas C. Johnson, June, 1938, who was an arts and science student; 2nd Lt. Edward Schwartzkopf, January, 1938, who during his years at Lincoln high, was a member of· the home room representatives, senior class president, on the football team, member of the L club
and chemistry · club and participated Jn Joy night; and Staff Sergeant Edward Neiden, January, 1939, of the engineering course. In the picture, something in the sky is blacked out, which may have contained something ·Of military interest. The picture was passed by the army examiner and the army stamp was on the back.

All Open House Exhibits Aimed Toward Victory Program Was Sponsored By War Committee
.r
Parents with their sons and daughters poured into Lincoln high 1chool for open house last evening from 7 to 8 :30 o'clock to see how pupils are taking their part in the war. All exhibits and posters were aimed for victory. Every class room, the shops, the library and larobatories were open for inspection. Reality of the war was brought home in the typical air refuge station marked out in the f!econd floor corridor. "Lincoln high school's part in the war efofrt" was the theme of the open house auditorium program. A calvalvade of the war work was prese1Tted depicting Red Cross work, educational programs adapted to our present situation and OCD trainees. Two. performances were held so as to enable all to see it. The program was sponsored by the student members of the war committee, Bill Dickson, Becky Allen, Ben Pickering, and Velma McGrew. Both girls and boys octet sang between scenes. The selections were "Angels of Mercy" and the "Army Air Corps," respectively. Spotlight Turned on Red Cross. The Red Cross display opened the pantomine. The narrator, Bill Forrey, explained the acts as the spotlight was turned on each. The displays were, respectively, home hygiene and nursing, junior Red Cross sewing, first aid and salvage. Act two took the audience first to see what was done ~n aviation science, carpentry shop work. and auto mechanics melding. Finally, a calvacaie of physical fitness ac· tivities came across the stage. Real duties of a messenger · and air raid warden under the office Of civilian defense were depicted in the next act. The messenger brought a report to an air raid warden; the next instance the auditorium was blacked out, thus showing the audience what it could really be like. Lincoln people also saw for the first tiine exactly what complete warden and messenger outfits consist of, with helmet, blackout flashlight, gas masks, whistle, etc. The program was concluded with "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition," sung by a group of Peppers. . An exhibit of war posters was arranged by Jack Wells. Ann Abel was in charge of the civilian defense. The junior Red Cross display of activities was done by Bill Rotton and Mary Louise Wiedman. .. Bill Farrey collected the material ~for the war activities of Lincoln high students. A patriotic film was shown in 306, while sotmd operators took charge of the sound room. Min.lature Stage Shown.

Old Programs
Are Sought Sam Engle, in the home room representatives meeting Tuesday, November 10, requested representatives to collect old programs from plays; and Advocates from the very beginning of Lincoln high school. He expressed his desire. as chairman of the committee, for pupils to find those of their older sisters and brothers and t urn them in to their home room representatives. These are to be filed and kept for future references in a file in Miss Esther Montgomery's ho:ine room. Ray Simmons told the latest events of the open house committee and completed his list of guides. Marion Burlington discussed the guest books to be used this year. Plans and final arrangements for the clean tip campaign were explained by Charles Mohrman.
Test Proves That Latin Is Beneficial For Better Understanding of English Marked improvement in understanding the meaning of English words after six weeks study of Latin was shown. in a little project conducted in all beginning classes. The second day of school a test was given to lOB pupils consisting of ph\'ases in which there were used English words derived fr~ Latin. These· Latin words together with many others were to occur in the regular text the next six weeks. The teachers agreed not to stress these English exercises any more than they ordinarily would in connection with other derivative exercises in regular advance lessons. They also were not to call the pupils' attention to the fact that these words had occurred in the early test. In the first test the pupils were told to do the best they could, that many of the words they were not expected to know and that the list would not be graded and marked against them. These papers were then put aside until the seventh week of school when the test was given again. 'The papers were then compared and it was found that a marked gain had been made in ability to understand the meaning of .the word, and its derivation. The medians were as follows: First period clasg..,.. First test-Median 8.5 correct out of 25, lowest-zero, highest 16. Second test-Median 18.5, lowest-3, highest 23.

'42 Senior Play Cast Consists Of 12 Characters Twelve seniors are busy rehearsing every day for the senior play, "Every Family Has One," by George Batson. This mystery• comedy will be. given December 11 and 12 in the auditorium. Tentative Cast Complete. Members of the cast include Alene Babich, Shirley Bacon. Charlotte Backlund, Bob Blum, Reid Devoe, Betty Jenkins, Roger Martin, Bill Miller, Dorothy Reilly, James LeRossignol, Hedy Schultz and Peggey Shelley. Play Just Out in October. "Every Family Has One" was given premiere performances at the Northwestern Univeristy Theater, in the 1942 summer session , w ith a cast chosen by competition from Chicago and North Shore high schools. The action of the play takes place in the living roe :.1 of the home of the Reardons (typi• cal American family whose eccentricities, if hilarious, are only nor·1na1) in Fernwood, · a suburban town in New Jersey. "Every Family Has One" is both mysterious and humorous, the mysterious part being.based on .the skeleton found in the Reardon's closet. Try-outs Successfu l. "Try-outs held last week Wednesday and Thursday resulted in a tentative selection,'' stated the director, W,inifred Lockhart Ayers. It is an unusually strong cast, having been chosl')n by a narrow margin out of the sixty pu pils who turned l1P. for th~. trY·C?Yta. All members of the cast have had previous stage experience. "Seniors seem to have gone out for the idea Of having matinee, so one will be held in accordance with their wishes," states Mrs. Ayers. Student Director Named. The position of Stl1dent director will be filled by Christine. Deines; Jack Wells will take over the duties as stage manager.

Lack of Custodians Means Pupils Must Help Clean-up Keep our four "C's" clean : coridor, campus, classroom and cafeteria! This is the purpose of the drive, which sta1·ted November 9, and will continue throughout the semester with the cooperation of the student body. Because of the lack of custodial force, this is a challenge to all pupils of Lincoln high school to take pride in beautifying our school. The student council is leading the drive for the improvement of the appearance of the ·corridors. The· home room representatives have started a similar drive on the campus; like.wise, the committee of 100, in the cafeteria, and the home room alternates, in the home rooms. There is no need for throwing of waste paper or other objects on the floor or ground as waste paper baskets have _been provided in every corner of the building, in each classroom and in variou8 other places on the campus. The first week of the drive successful, andour sustained efforts will - keep our school looking neat throughout the semester.

Your Static Editor has put on a so-called "Hit Parade Slirvey" recently to find out the favorite hit-tunes of Lincoln high h&p-cats and their reasons for liking them. Jean Bogan - "White Chr ist mas" - "because it's pretty." Jackie Tobin-"I 'll Never Smile A~ain" "lt's so-o-o dreamy and pretty." Betty Ed Strain-" At Last"-"Because I liked it when it was played in 'Orchestra Wives.'' Katharine Reese-" There Are Such Things" - " No particular reason, I just like it." Jeanne Harvey-" 'Star Dust"-"Everytime I hear it I swoon! It's swell to listen to and perfect to dance to." Mary .Jo Ashton-"Daybreak"-"lt's wonderful to dance to, and also I just learned the words.''
Work, Discipline, Faith Should Still Be Upheld
...
In every classroom there is a white card on which is written in large blue letters the words ''Work, Discipline, Faith." Or perhaps you'd forgotten that little reminder left over from last spring; or maybe you're new and don't know exactly what it means. In' either case think about it. It's not hanging there just to look pretty or hide a hole in the wall; it is there for a purpose. It's important! It is to remind you ~hen your t houghts are wandering that you must make every minute count. We are not plaYiug games. We are in a war, but, not just a war for the armed forces and those at the front. It's true, they are very iniportant and we could not get along without them; but it is also true they cannot get along without us. Many times you have heard this called the "people's war.'' We are not just defending our country, we are fighting for existence, and our ideal. "Work, Discipline, and Faith.» What do those words mean to you? Work: Get as much accomplished as possible in the shortest time possible. Train yourself for any emergency. Take advantage of the wonderful opportunities offered you. Discipline: Follow directions, obey those above you. Don.'t waste time making mistakes, ' but heed the knowledge and experience of your parents and teachers. It is true there are things you mtist I.earn for yourself, but try to profit as much as possible by the things others are prepared to offer you. Self-discipline is one th.he most important things ' jn your life, without which you are lost. Now is a good time to learn it and put it to a valuable use. Faith: This is also very important I It is . said if a person has. faith he ca'n move mountains. There are plenty of mountains looming np in the future that mm;t be moved. We must have faith in our leaders, whe.t her we think everything they are doing is exactly right or not. · We must get behind them and back them :up. Cooperate tel' the fullest extent. Have faith in them I Have faith in God. This has been named God's war. Believe t hat God is on our side because we are fighting for all that is right and gqod. Have faith in Him so that He can help you. And last but not least, have faith in yourselves an:d in each other. Be sure t hat what you're doing is the right thing and. you'll ~ome out on top. It was Patrick H enry who said those f amous words : ''Give · me liberty or give me death.". That's t he .way we all feel. We want to be able to fight and die if necessary for this country of ours. So when you happen to glance at that white card hanging on the wall remember what those words mean. They are the things t hat are preparin¥; you to fight to the end for that freedom which is so priceless to all of us !

Our fighting men are equipped with the best service rifle in the world. Cartridges !or these rifles cost 2 cents each, so for the price of io-cent War Savings Stamp, our :qlen in uniform can be supplied with five rounds of ammunition.

lights were very dim and there was no noise except for his port- 1 able radio, which he had brought along to pass away the time. About 9 :00, just after the announcement of the United Nations landing at Morocco, Bud was startled by two energetic rats, which came scampering out of the boys locker room. They ran about the hall for a few minutes, as if they w ere playing follow the leader, and then darted back into the locker room. A few minutes later Bud happened to look down the north hall and saw a small form run from one side to an· other. A short time· after that two more mice made their appearance, and so on \through the evening he saw, small ·. forms dart about the hall, until he was relieved of his duty. · · Many times a pupil has come back to . his locker third period to get his lunch, and has found it with a small hole in one corner where a mouse had ea t en through the sack and taken a few ' nibbles of his sandwich. With little trouble one can rid his locker of these pests. Just bring a f ew spring mouse t r aps to school, bait them with cheese or a small piece of bacon rind and place them oil the floor of the locker and soon there will be none of these lunch stealing pests.
'Rover' Undergoes Defense Training Has your dog joined the D. F. D. ? Dogs for defense is not a new idea, but was formed during the first World war when 75,000 dogs were used. A- ,nonprofit organization, of which basic training lasts 1ix weeks has been undertaken by Harry I. Caesar of New York to train the dogs. Long befora Pearl Harbor the Nazis shipped to Japan 25,000 dogs to be trained for military :service. In t hi:) period -of 1 (1 year1, Germany had trained 200,000 for army and police work. Laat winter the Ru11ians had war dogs which quickly located the wounded, as well as white polar dog1 fol' pulling sleds. You mustn't think your Scottie is too small to be a · canine soldier, since small dogs are pa rticularly good for guard duty. Scotties are stationed at the dock when ships are in, while mediu.m sized dogs, Airedales, Dalm atians, greyhounds and 5hepherd11, are at their best in combat, for they are alert, fast and also small enough to be difficult target. for· the enemy. If a dog is spoiled, pamperec! or uni ntelligent, he is eliminated during the six weeks train. ing period. After this period, a dog spends a fin al week getting acquainted with the particular soldier assigned to h andl e him • -After making the grade, the canine soldier rece ives his uniform-a white rubberized har ness.

In these times it seems quite strange to us in _Amer ica to read of, or be told of the time not so long ago when Adolph Hitler was just beginning to rise in Germany. But thei:e was such a time, and it was written up in the crime club selection, "Toast to To-morrow." Adolph Hitler shortly after the first war, was in a prison camp, but when he got out, the dynamic "little fellow'' swayed the °),eople of Germany to h is side, with powertul emotional lectures on r eforming Germany. The story, "Toast to To-morrow" is r eally not t he life and tri· als of Hitler, but the tale of Germany in the b eginning of Hitler's r egime. An alleged German friend, and deputy chief of polic e, recalling his identity lost f r om a blow on the head, f inds friends in B erlin whom h e had worked with in the British Intelligence during the w ar. H aving been cared for, w hl.l<i he was weak, by friendly Germans and given a name, he soon learned to respect these German people, who 1 had never had a g overnment t h ey d eserved. The p erplexed man, with two cotintries, with cunning, craft and brilliant recklessness, s ends messages to h is country, helps his friends in Germany esca pe across the border and at the las t, raises his g lass in a toast to tomorrow, bound for Eng·land, not a s an author and deputy c hief of p olice in Germany, but as H ombledow of the Brit ish .Intelligence.
This book, chosen by the Crime Club as the prize selection, wa s written by Manning Coles. He is the a uthor of another pr ize book, " Drink to Yesterday."

To Students: Today all of us are living in the very center of a drama which moves swiftly about the central theme of democracy, whether it wili survive or perish. We all remember the words of Lincoln's immortal Gettysberg address: "Now we are engaged in a great civil war testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, may longl endure." That n.a tion, the United States of America, has endured terrible onslaughter; even more terrible now than in the 1860's, f~ in 1942 we find the whole wide world facing the choice between democracy and various practices. It is not difficult to see which system of life is the better. In America we live as our own maste rs. We elect our leaders and tell them how we wish to be led. Our newspapers tell us the truth. Our schools teach us respect for liberty and justice. We may go to our various places of worship and pay our respe.Ct to God according to our beliefs . We can laugh and be happy and we can talk without fear of infliction of punishment. On the other hand, the p eople of dictator-ridden nations enjoy none of these privileges They have no voice in government. Their newspapers t ell them only what the dictators wish them to know. They are denied the freedom of speech and r eligion. Families are separated from each other. Their schools poison them with f alse and unbelievable knowledge which take away · their right to liberty and justice. They cannot utter a word w ithout fear. Which is the better way of life? Can th ere be question? Therefore we should cherish all the blessings which America offers us. We should all stand up and say proudly, "I am a n Amer ican! I love America f or itself and for what it stands, li berty and justice and dem ocracy!" And we should put our words into practice ever y day of our lives. Evelyn Williamson.
To the Editor: How many of the 11tudents at Lincoln high kn9w that we have a school flag? W ell, we do. But, how many can tell where it is, and what it looks lik e.

All Seniors Must Take First Aid Registration for classes next se· mester officially starts November 17 and closes December 10, in the home i·ooms. It is particularly important that pupils inspect their pattern of courses with a. view to patriotic service. All June seniors should register for first aid if they have not al· ready had the course here, or se· cured a certificate from some other souce. This course may l:le combined with a t w o or three· hour course and considered as one hour of credit. Registration should be studied by the pupil with the idea of what will make him of maximum service to his country rather than what best suits him for his own selfish interest or the easiest way to get credits. Sophomores are making up their six-semester's schedules which are kept by their home room teachers in folders together with grades, ratings, aptitude tests, and other material concerning each pupil.

For the B-10, Mr. Greenwell 11aid there were no special qualifications needed, although a. nurse's aid training might help one to get in hospital work. The clerical field is also open right now with pay from $50 to $150, with insurance included. One of the ·rules is that the WAVES cannot marry while in training, and they cannot marry a man in the navy.

Eyes are one of the most important health requirements, according to Chief Greenwell, who said that vision must ,be 12/20. Persons who wear glasses must have vision of 20/20. Color blindness is not a drawback, although the color blind cannot get into the signal corps or communication work. Teeth are second most im· portant. Candidates must have 18 •ound teeth. Minimum height is 65 inches, and a candidate must be well-built. Mr. Greenwell said, "The work is strenuous and you put in long· hours."

Betty Jane Steele heard the band play on with Eddie Tuey. Mary Ann Lofink cut the carpet with Bob Southworth. The other day in Miss Sprung's French 5 class a dog walked in and made himself at home. Miss Sprung politely told him in French that he could stay if he would sit down and be still. The dog cocked his ears, thought for a moment, then sat down. All went well for a while, until. he decided that an investigation was necessary. At that time Miss Sprung decided that the really necessary thing was his exit. As one moron said to another moron, "Do you feel run-down after be- ing hit by a car?" T.lje last was by J. F.

Following the flag salute led by Ben Pickering, two selections, "God Bless America," and "Stout Hearted Men" were sung by Cleve Genzlinger, to begin the Armis~ice day assemblies, Wednesday, November 11. Mr. Genzlinger was accompanied by Floyd Robbins. H . C. Mardis introduced the speaker, Robert Armstrong, secretary of the governor. He to14· of the men "who·, 24 years ago, were dying for the same purpose that men are dying today." Mr. Armstrong related the story of two "worried doughboys," one who lived to see the Armistice signed and one who didn't. The dying soldier's last words were, "Finish the job." Mr. Armstrong .climaxed the story by saying, "At 11 o'clock the guns ceased. The Armistice had been signed!" He spoke of the men on Bataan Peninsula who day after day, watched for the planes which would bring them help but that never came. "These men had to surrender because of sheer exhaustion, - We have failed them," he said. ''We said it couldn't happen here, but it did happen here, December 7, at Pearl Harbor," Mr. Armstrong continued, "The people of the United States have much to learn." In conclus}on, Mr. Armstrong read an editorial about "Bill Jones" who was dying for us while we were complaining about tires or gas rationing. At the close of the "A" assembly the "Star Spangled Banner" was played and the pupils stood at attention while the spotlight was played on the flag.

Submarine Training 1'akes Much Schooling According to Former l,incoln High Student Submarine training is now being taken by Robert Mathewson, former Advocate staff member, who wrote M:iss Sarah T. Muir from an east coast base of his experiences. Robert withdrew from Sfi!hool last year to join the navy. "I've been in the navy the better pa rt of a year now and all I've done is go to different schools. I was in recruit training for over two months and then I was sent to a machinist's training school at the Ford Motor company in ·Dearborn, Michigan. "I now have two weeks to go to finish my basic submarine training courss. I believe that this is the first time in my life I've actually enjoyed studying." Only volunteers who can meet the strict physical and ment al requirements are admitted to the submarine service. "We had to pass a stiff mental test with a minimum of 90 percent and pass a perfect" physical examination before being admitted for training," he explains. "I a lso had to make an escape from 100 feet of water with the aid of a Momsen lung. The first step in this procedure is going into an air chamber and being subjected to a pressure of 50 pounds per square inch which is approximately the pressure at a depth ·of 100 feet. When the man passes this test he starts learning how to use the Momsen .lung." Two descents to a depth of 12 feet in a water tower are made in a diving bell and the man must come up twice from that level

Dorald Hughes, junior, is back in Lincoln· after living in Chicago, Illinois for about a year. Entering from other Nebraska schools this week are Merle Freitag and Viola Seigal. Merle comes from Dorchester and Viola from Pawnee City. Milll Helen M. Stowell, who ha11 been ill with the flu, returned to school ·M onday, November 9 ... Mrs. Grace 1Hyatt, who is re· covering rapidly from a. recent illness hopes to return to .school soon. Mrs. Hyatt, stated that this was her first absence in 28 years except for a two-day pink· eye epidemic a few years ago. Gifts have been given Mrs. Hyatt during her absence by her home room and classes. Flowers were sent or a card with class members' names on it. Third period pupils gave her roses ll,nd fourth period, a Victory corsage. Mrs. Hyatt is still at the hospital but she would welcome visitors. Vacationing in Colorado during teachers' convention. were Dorothy Gibson, senior, and Mary Lou Bohner, junior. Dorothy spent two days in Longmont and one day in Denver. While traveling through western Nebraska and Colorado she noticed the huge scrap piles and was amazed at their size. Mary Lou's general impression was that everyone was working in the sugar beet fields. Due to the shortage of labor, persons of all ages were working in the fields, and some schools were dismissed so students could help. From the fields the ·beets are shipped by truck, or rail to the nearest factory. · Stanley Soh,- senior, is in the hospital recovering from an appendectomy. Although it· was a very serious case, he is improving steadily. ·

using the lung. Then two descents are made from depths of 18 feet and 50 feet. Escape from 18 fe et is all that is required. The ·50 and 100 feet escapes are voluntary. The escapes at the 18, 50 and 100 foot depths are made from an a ir lock. The man enters the lock with the instructor and the access hatch is shut.. Then the compartment i:s flooded to about chest level and air is let into this lock to equalize the pressure and keep the water level down. When air is compressed it becomes hot . The t emperature in t h e 100 foot lock when flooded is 145 degrees F. Whistling is impossible while under pressure and a .person's voice sounds like a cheap phonograph record. Lea ding from the tank through the roof of the air lock is a steel "skirt" about 2 % feet in diameter. A line is fastened to the deck of th·e chamber .and passes through the hatch leading to the t ank and up to the surface where it is fastened to a large float. The man making the ascent adjusts his rubber noseclips which prevents him from · breathing through his nose and clamps the lung's rubber mouthpiece in his . mOllth with his teeth. The lung is then charged with oxygen and the man grasps the line and ducks under t h e escape "skirt" and into the tank. The line is grasped with both hands at about waist level a nd is clamped by the feet. The rate . of ascent is about 50 feet per minute, meanwhile breathing normally. About every 15 feet on the line is a w ooden ball at which
the man m ust stop and take five breaths. "We are all cautioned not to hold our breath as the air in our lungs under pressure will expand as the pressure becomes less and rupture our lungs. It's an amazingly simple operation after one gets the idea," he writes. "We "go out on training cruises on old t ype submarines about three or four days a week. A person's first dive is an incomparable thrill," Mathewson asserts. "I believe that without e;icception a submarine man is the most t horoughly trained man in the world. " We have to know everything there is to know about our ships. We must know every tiny valve and fitting, why it's there, how it works and how to operate it. Perhaps it doesn't sound hard but imagine trying to learn everyth ing there is to know about a n 1,800 ton ship. That's what submarine men must do and also they must be ready to meet every poss ible emergency at a moment's n otice." At the base where he is stationed there is an excellent canteen, bowling alleys, a fine theater, dances several times a week and a target range. The men are granted liberty three nights out of four from 4:00 p. :m.. to 7:30 the f ollowing morning, and three w eekends out of four from 4:00 p. m. Saturday until 7 :30 Monday morning. Robert's father ,. who is also in the service, was transfer red to be crew member of a destroyer. "I'd appreciate hearing from any of my former schoolmates," are his concluding wor_ds.

Forum Panel Peppers Plan On Prohibition Assemblies Informative Discussion On Timely Problem Causes Much Interest
"Should prohibition be enforced for s oldiers within the United States?" This timely problem provided the Forum with a lively panel discussion, Monday, November 9, with Mark Wittenberg, Maurine Evnen, Harold Luedtke and T om Sorensen as speakers. William Rotton presided over the discussion. "Mobs of soldiers in t own, drinking excessively, are liable to mJure property and ot herwise cause general disrespect for the armed services," declared Mark Wittenberg, firs t speaker. "Since their schedule is rather boring, they get drunk just to g et a way from the routine of army life, although they m ight not in civilian life." "It would be difficult to prevent bootlegging near camps," said Maurine Evn en, pointing to the last prohibition attempt. Harold Luedtke said t hat it would not be fair, if civilians could buy liquor while soldiers could not. At least the soldiers wouldn't think it f air and it might tend to lower their m orale, _ he added. Tom Sorensen thought t h at there should be t otal prohibition, or none at all, otherwise soldiers could always get a friend to buy liquor for them. When discussion was opened t o the group, the problem swayed t oward the question of whether partial prohibition would be possible. Drihk interferes with the soldiers duty and training, according to Robert Gillan.

for th_e first marker, on a 5 yard plunge. Later in the same.quarter, Kirk.endall pitched the pigskin into the end-zone where Harry Fox snatched it out of the hands of two Rocket backs for the other score. Both of Patton's kicka were true. The next encounter was tabbed as the state championship game of the 1942 season, because both / Li\icoln high and its opponent, Omaha South, were. undefeated in Nebraska competition. The g-ame ended in a 7-7 deadlock however, so the number one team was still in question. In the first quarter, with the ball on the Packer's 32 yard line, O'Donnell lateraled to Kirkendall, who threw a long pass to Fox in the end zone. South got its touchdown on a short pass. Dibelka passed to Tripp, from the eleven, and he raced across the goal before the Red and Black defenders could get to him. Tech Baffled By 'T'. The Links cleverly mixed the short punt and the "T" formations, to baffle completely the • Omaha Tech eleven by a count of 51-0, which made it the worst defeat in Lincoln-Tech history. The Links' second play from scrimmage saw Bobbie Jacobsen speed through the middle for a 36-yard touchdown run. Patton's kick was good. Kirkendall ripped through tackle for the next score, fro:in 6 yards out, and O'Donnell ended the first quarter scoring with a 35 yard sweep of the Maroons' end, After O'Donnell had gone over from the one yard line, Charlie Valencia made an inclusive 40 yard run for the fifth. marker. Patton's kick made it 32~0 a.t the half. A Leikam to Kirkendall to Jacobsen pass scored the only counter in the third period. Don Pickerell, a second string back, smashed through the Tech line 6 yards for the seventh touchdown. Gus Eager, third string quarterback, skirted the Tech end for 35 yards to end the scoring and boost the score to an amazing 51 points. Patton made 2 extra points while Hridkins made· one. The Links journeyed to Omaha. Central for the next battle to hand the gate · city crew an impressive 30,0 shellacking. K i r k e n d a 11 started the fireworks when he scored on an end run with only three minutes having ticked away. Jacobsen's 4 yard plunge and a Kirkendall to McDermott pass made the second and third counters. Glenn plunged from the two for the fourth touchdown and passed to Krcmarik to cease the firing. In the last game of. the season, Lincoln traveled to Grand Island where they easily won by a count of 25-6. Glenn scored first on a. 7 yard plunge, Patton's kick was good; but the third city boys turned around and made it 7-6 at the half. In the third quarter when the Grand Island boys were g-etting tired, this was . the Links cue to get on the rampage. Valencia went over from the 2 yard line. Glenn tossed a pass to Fox for the next marker and Gus Eager, from the 2 yard line, scored the last touchdown of the season, which safely tucked away another undefeated, but once tied, Ne· bra.ska season for Lincoln high.

Capt. Miller Addresses A·ssemhly Honor Society Is Presented
Lights Turned Out, Message Was Dictated Methods of taking d.o wn mesl!ages in the dark, by dictation and by "code" were practiced by civilian defense messengers at their meeting last Wednesday, November 18 .. Jesse Pemberton, superintendent of Western Union Telegraph company, instructed them in the proper form of the messag es, how to t a ke them over the telephone and how to deliver them. Lights . were turned off and Mr. P ember. ton dictated a simple message. Unable even to see their own pen· cils and papers, the CDM's scrawled down words as they were given. When the lights were turned on again, they attempted to read each other's ~riting-with fair success. First Blackout December 14. On December 14, ~rhen Lincoln stages its first blackout, many CDM's will be assiged to temporary duty posts throughout the city, said Roy Lang, Boy · Scout executive. Each must report to his post within three minutes after the alarm is given. They may be called upon to deliver messages or .small packages or to patrol their districts. Mr. Lang announced that it was the last time he could speak at the meetings, since he would be leaving to go into the army soon. Camp Fire girls from the First Plymouth Congregational church conducted the opening and closing ceremonies. Charles Putney led group singing of "Praise the Lord and ·P ass the Ammunition." "This is the Army, Mr. Jones," and a round, "Sweetly Sings the Donkey." Test Will . Be Given Tonight, At tonight's meeting a test covering the first four weeks will be given. Capt. Bunting and some R. 0. T. C. cadets who satisfactorily complete the course. will be graduated as full-fledged civilian deefnse messengers the first week school commences after Christmas vacation.
Scholarship, Trip To Washington • For Scientists Attention seniors! Could you use a $2,400 scholarship? How does a trip to Washington, D. C., w ith all expenses paid appei! you? Senior boys and girls of 1943 are eligible to compete in the second annual Science 'falent Search conducted by the Science clubs of America for Westinghouse scholarships. Here is what to do to compete. Each contestant must take an examination given in the school on or after Friday, December 4. It will test ability rather than information. An essay of about 1,000 words on "Science's Next Great Step Ahead" must be submitted. Entries must be sent in by December 28, 1942. All interested should apply for blanks and additional information at once through any Lincoln high science teacher or see J. D. Young in 224. Eight scholarships worth $400 each and additional scholarship awards totaling $3,000 are also offered. Last year 3,200 boys and girls actually submitted finished examination papers and credentials. A book, titled "Youth Looks at Science and War," has been published f rom the essays of the 40 who came to Washington as win· ners last year. Climax of the trip to the Capitol was an interview with Vice-President Wallace who kept the Senate waiting while he chatted with the winners.

Wholehearted Effort Is Needed To Win the War Steel gray .;ould have been the word for the skies a year ago. Now it is battleship/ gray. Almost everything is described in terms of war in these troubled clays. Approximately a year ago we were all peacefully going our way, perhaps complaining a little bit about om school work and the cruel fate that compelled us to get up in the morning. With many of us, it took almost a year to realize we were at war. But now, when a person steps out of the hollse in the mornmg, although everything still looks the same, he can almost feel the change. In school, through the use of the loudspeaker, posters in halls and scrap drives, one is constantly reminded that we are at war. Often repeated is the statement, "Throw your ~nergy wholeheartedly into the wa1· effort," and that advice must be repeated and repeated until it is heeded by every youth in the United States. There must be no slackers. Everyone must do his share.
Give Gilts of War Bonds Or Stamps This Christ1nas How many days are there m,itil Christmas 1 Not many. Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and Christmas around the next. Of course with Christmas comes the problem of :what to give to the family and to our friends. Yes, Christmas is coming, the time when all rejoice and celebrate the birthday of .Jesus Christ. A time of giving g·ifts-in remembering those we love. This year we will celebrate the time differently. ·we cannot do otherwise. ·It would be mockery to celebrate with too much mirth and .)0-y in a time of war and.fast diminishing good will. True, we will give gifts and keep up our morale in so doing, but we must consider it a duty to remember on this war-time Christmas the scores of priceless gifts given :for us before December 25 ; and the :prieeless lives laid down to establish a lasting peace. When buying gifts this year and making out lists, determine to a_id in making the number of lives given for each of us smaller by giving War Savings Stamps and Bonds.
Thanksgi·ving Should Mean More to Us This Year Thanksgiving! We repeat the word to ourselves and begin to think about what we have to be thankful for thiis yea 1·. How c:in w~ be thankful when our soldiers are dying'! When we hear the dreaded words, "Killed" or "l\Iissing in Action''~ Shall we be thankful when :we hear about the thousands of homeless and starving people1 Can we be thankful when the seas scream with death and men are lurking and waiting to kill 1 Is it possible to be thankful when we know how the conquered people are being treated 1 Or shall we be thankful that we can still worship as we please, enjoy freedom of pl'ess and radio, and read the literature we like 1 But ;yet the l'ilgl'ims whc came to the United States to form a new freedom had to face just the same or even a darker winter perhaps than we have. They had wars to fight, not only with men, but also. with natur~._ Jn a year, half of these people died; today 1f that happened to other nations, they would surrender. But the Pilgrims kept on fighting to gain their freedom. Perhaps we can compare the soldiers. of today with the Pilgrim.s. They are carrymg overseas to the four co1·ners of the earth more than munitions and supplies. They are carrying our idea&, ideals and our way of thi?-king. We can be thankful that out of then· sac· rifice we can do our share to insure a future peace throughout the world. Let us be_ thankful that out of it will come a new unity and "' a new freedom. /

Future Artists Portray Drama Study In English Class With Own Creations
"Down Ryton Water" whi.c h is the pathway from Scrooby to the sea and on to other lands of freedom, is the story of young Matt Over, son of Matthew Over, yeoman, and his travels seeking freedom, The book tells of the escape from the heavy hand of the king who wants to rule their souls, to other lands of freedom and peace. The book, written by Mrs. Eva Roe Gaggin, is the story of young Matt, age five, who starts to school in England, and sets out with his parents, after the first day, for Holland and a new home. The changes he is forced to make in manner of living, eating, speak· ing and thinking, perplex and trouble the very small boy. He makes one friend in Amsterdam before he has to move to another section of Holland. There are places to find ready employment and the new home overlooking the silvery sheen of the Rhine is much as the home in Scrooby. The Overs become fast friends of the Dutch and it is here that Matt's father became a citi· zen of the Dutch village. The band is discovered by the king's men and are forced to pull up roots again and set out for the New World. Since the birth of another child, Neialas, the family number seven as they depart from Holland. Of necessity, the men go ahead and the women turn back until a sturdier ship can bear them to their "Goodmen," across the sea. Many yea~s pass throughout the story and at the last, Young Matt, over 20· years of age, sits with his mother af.t er a reunion and Thanksgivi'ng of the Over family in the Free land, a Thanksgiving and reunion many times richer in offspring and freedom, freedom to thank God for his many blessings in the new free world.

The last day of the trip was rainy and foggy which is a natural protection against U-boats; however the . weather was good at all other times during the trip. Bicycles have been given them both for recreation and their regular duties. They were allowed no heat till November so they wrapped themselves in blankets to keep warm in England's cool climate.

The bougainvilla holds the main greenhouse al pi·esent, since it proudly displays large clusters of red buds. The plant g·rows to quite a height, reaching the ceiling and then spreading out across it. The bougainvilla plant was brought to America from Spain, by Louis Bougainville, a French navigator, from whom the plant received its name. It will flower all winter if grown in a greenho1.1se, altho it will not grow outof-tloors in the northern states. Also in the fourth floor solarium is a real rubber tree, and a see. dem or baby r.ubber tree. There are many very small g·eranium plants, a pink sattina, beautiful ivy, a wax plant with light pink blossorns, and many varieties of cacti one of which is about 3 f eet high and another which has little orange stickers on it.

Major Hugh~s sent his family some London papers which contained only four pages because of the paper shortage in Britain. The papers tell the time when the black-out starts and when it is over, which was from 6 :30 p. m. to 6:45 a. m. October 15. It also included a news item that 207 persons were killed by air raids during the month of September. The news stories tell of a man who was fined 20 shillings for using his car to go home to lunch at noon, a headmaster who complained that a temperature of_ 45 degrees was toe low for school rooms, and news from the United States that people were asked not to eat more than two and a half pounds of meat weekly (the Britisher can get only a little more than one-half pound).

To Have Blackout On December 14 Do you know everything you should about air raids? December 14 has been set aside as the time for the official statewide blackout and there are many important facts that everyone should know if Lincoln ever ac~ tually experienced an air raid. Air raids usually occur at night when the weather is clear. The telephone is not to be used during an air raid except for official business. When an air raid alarm sounds at night , each person should make sure all lights are out. During an air raid, it is best to stuff one's ears with cotton ·a nd to keep the mouth open by clamping the teeth into a small piece of rubber or wood placed in the mouth.

To the Students of Lincoln High School: Defense factories tell their workers that absences slow up production. These factory products are' vital to the war effort and any delay in their completion is unpatriotic. We, too, are war workers.. Our education is paid for by gov ernment funds. We are being educated for the problems of a post war democracy. Surely our duty is to learn to solve these problems to the best of our ability. Remember, we'll be the statesmen, businessmen and citizens of the future. Absence from oilr school delays our progress and takes valuable time from .recorders. Tardiness is also a wasteful and unnecessary factor in our daily lives. Think of the time spent making un-excused tardy slips for office records. Think also of the half hour after school you must make up. As for truancies-they are unpardonable. Will we be patriotic and not delay the production of good Americans? It's up to us ! Monagray_ Cone.
Queer Definitions Result From Test
Diller High Pupils Say Girls Beautiful Here
Queer definitions were the result of a test given in English 19 from the book, "Scientific Readings" , a book about science and scientific men. Pitchblend, which comes from iron ore, was defined as a land of com by one person and as two plants which accidentally blend by ano~r; still another defined it as a blend of different vegetables. Humus are forms of an insect before it is hatched, according to one pupil. "One who is jolly" was also given. Migratory was explained as being a substance used in chemistry and also as an instrument like a microscope. If you do a great thing or are abnormal in thinking, you are elected to the Royal Society according to one ,person.
After a trip thru Lincoln high school, members of Diller high school, Diller, Nebraska, expressed their thanks for the hospitality shown them by students while they were on their annual educational tour. The pupils, 32 in all, were sponsored by Carl Ludington, superintendent of schools, Mrs. Ludington and four other. adults. "Lincoln high is the best school in the state and the girls are beautiful here," were the opinion!! of Verne Hubka and Ray Renz, senior members of the group. The students had a full day, having visited both the police and fire departments, agricultural college, several department stores, KFAB, KFOR, and the Nebraska state capitol.

Composition Being Played at Vespers Fulfills Dream of P.F.C. Paul Koenig "It· was a dream come true," said Private First Class Paul Koenig, class of '38, now in the 80th division, Camp Forest, Tennessee, when he was told his orchestral accompanim ent of strings for Bach's Double Concerto written for two violins was to be played by the Lincoln high school at its first vesper concert of the season, November 22. "I did it as a personal favor for Johnson Beam, '42, one of the violinists who does such a wonderful job with it," stated Mr. Koenig. "The other fine violinist is Thomas Pierson, '39, a nd both are former classmates whom I met through my musical activities. It was nothing really, and I see no reason for all the fuss which has been made about. it, as I do not think it is justified. It was largely due to Johnson's efforts and I was startled when I received a telegram telling me it was to be played, so startled, in fact, I could hardly believe it. I started the arrangement during my second semester last year, before I graduated, and it was nothing outstanding. Mr. Nevin, Mr. Beam and Mr. Pierson are responsible for my furlough of <:'ight days, and I am happy to be back to the same old place seeing things in full swing." When asked of the opportunities for young musicians in the army, Mr. Koenig ~aid there is a wonderful opportun'rty for them, the need being greater than ever. Each regiment may ha~e a . band, he added, but it depends largely on the number of musicians in each

There is plenty of eagerness and will in the high school youth. Patriotic con.s iderations are impelling both boys and girls t o look for ways of adapting their courses and activities to war needs·.

Donors of Blood Save Lives; A id Swift Victory One thing which can be done by all healthy '.Americans who want to help their country is to give a small portion of their blood to the Red Cross. The army and navy want blood plasma for transfusions at the scene of battle. In the last war the method of restoring blood to a wounded man was by direct arm-to-arm transfusion from another of the same blood type, a proc.ess dangerous and often impossible on the battle field • .But in the last few years medical men have worked out a new solution. One Qf science's major miracles is plasma, ~hich is the liquid portion of the human blood. When pumped into the vein of a wounded man, it can mean the difference between life and death. · At Pearl Harbor hundreds of lives were saved by transfusions, first of plasma, then of whole blood. Of the small suppy of plasma collected from American donors before December, some 750 units, (about one pint each) had already been shipped to Hawaii and were ready for instant use. Three out of every four of the Pearl Harbor attack victims required transfusions. Without plasma, without sulpha drugs to prevent infection, a large proportion would have died. Before England organized its own blooddonation centers, the American Red Cross collected and shipped 17,000 plasma units to Britain. A year ago our government asked the public for a like amount. ~'rom these first donations, shipments were made to Pearl Harbor and the Phillippines. • Here is a gift which, unlike money, unlike time o~ even work, is a part of oneself. A gift most literally from the heart, straight to the heart of another-to an American soldier sailor, or marine who n:iay live to help sav~ all we deem precious in this world, because of one generous step to save him.
:Accidents Cause More Deaths Than the War People are thinking constantly of the number of lives that will be sacrificed in this war, but do they ever ponder over the number of needless deaths due to accidents within the boundaries of our own country? In a recent issue of the National Safety News the following facts, which were taken from an address by Rear Admiral William H .. P. Blandy, United ·States Navy, were prmted. ''Since December 7, almost twice as many people have been killed in the United States by accidents as have been killed in England by German bombing in three years of war. · "Since December 7, more Americans have been permanently disabled by accidents on the home front, than the total of our military forces wounded, captured and killed in action. "S.inc.e December 7, accidents have cost us m()re than three billion manhours~the same productive energy involved in building one hundred aircraft carriers.'' · These statistics prove that the importance of accident prevention is not only that people should prot.ect thems_elv_es. from injury, but that they will be patriotic m so doing.
Pupils Should Consider Future While Registering "Oh, I know what I am taking!" states lnai;y a ~ompacent pupil, when mentioning his reg1strat1on. But are you sure? Have you looked over the list of all the subjects that are offered 7 Of course you should get your required subjects first. But then, think about what courses will aid you most in later years. Select something that will make you more useful, and better prepared to serve your country. . Don't take ~ su~ject just because all your friends are takmg 1t and you think it will be a "snap". With so many wonderful courses offered, it should not be hard to find interesting and useful subjects to help you to beeome a better student, and more certain of the future. After you have made this final registration don't ~xpect to be able to change it. Your pro~ gram card must be in the office by Friday.

How woUld you define a "Laugh Parade ? " As a ridiculous, mischievous, bit of nonsense turned loose? If you would, you have done very well in describing Stephen Leacock's latest book, "Laugh· Parade." Only it is more than a bit of nonsense, it is a whole book chuck full · of the shrewd Canadian's choicest bits of humor and jesting. With h is talent for provoking laughter he has written a number of books and his latest is the 'cream of the crop" bound in one cover. He hit upon all of. his qualities in this book, absurdity in a dream of . the future, nonsense in many forms, and refined sobriety which makes his w it more to be appreciated. He has made a very interesting selection. One choice bit enjoyed and long remembered entitled, "We have with us today," is a droll story of chairmen introducing guest artistsOf course that is just . one of the many in this book by Stephen Leacock. A sweli ooo~ to settle down with. and really enjoy, the "Laugh Parade." It's abounding in. fun.

Spirit Lacking For Athletes Who Bring In Championships
'Arkansas Schools Much Inferior' Says Doane Filer
School . spirit displayed last Thursday morning at the awards assembly wa.s greatly appreciated by the football players, as far SB mumbling goes, according to numerous st atements, From the stage the songs and cheers sounded as .if five or six persons w~re doing it all. If the football, basketball, baseball or any other school athletic team would give forth the zip and ginger such as was displayed, they would be lucky to come .through with a tie. It's a mystery how the Lincoln high squads can go out and bring home those championships for the student body to brag about, when the students sing
"Nebraska is considered as hav• ing one of the higMst averages when it comes to education, and the schools of Nebraska are very much envied by the people of Ar· kansas," stated Duane Fifer, who entered Lincoln high last week from North Little Rock, Arkansas. He also remarked that the peer pie of Lincoln don't realize that Lincoln has wonderful schools which offer comfort as well as educat ion. Duane left Lincoln about two years ago to go to Lit tle Rock. The school. he attended was about the size of our junior h ighs. In .his opinion the school he went to was run very poorly with hardly a ny syst em. Because it was over crowded, if any of the pupils so much as "sass" a teacher, they are expelled from school perma• nently. He finds that the pupils of Ar· kansas are much harder to .get a long with than in Lincoln. He mentioned that they still have that Civil War hate, which was an ever debatable subject for Dua ne. "German can not be taught in the schools of Arkansas and any one with so mu ch as German a ncestors is resented,"
the school songs as they would a waitz or yell as if they were · breaking the law. In class, they whisper all the time or talk when they aren't supposed to, but just give them a chance to yell and get it out of their system and they shut up tighter than a clam; Let's all try in the n ext pep assembly to show the fellows that we're behind them 100 per cent; that they're not out there fighting j ust because the coach tells them, or because their best girl is sitting in the front row, or they are to get a letter. Let's make them want to get out there and fight for the w,hole student body.
N eiv Substitutes for Costume ] ewelry To Be Use,d Now In Place of Metal "No more metal for costume jew elry?" A suddeh blow by our rationing system brings dismay to many. All is not lost, however, when you . think of the synthetic substitute for metal-pastic. Plastic jewelry is just as versatile as metal and in some ways more desirable. It neither tarnishes nor looks like an imitation of iomething more valuable. One finds items appropriate for formal dress down to cross-eyed elephants with Dumbo ears for the most casual wear. Another field is wooden jewelry. Take these Ubangis with guadily painted faces, or for a more sedate affect, your name on a natural wood pin. Glass and iniit<J.tion pearl jewelry a.r e still availa ble. Cloth and Jeather lapel gadgets have long been popular. If you tire .of these diversions, try making your own jewelry. It's great fun and brings original results. There i,i.re many ways and meiiils of creating our own jewelry ·according to the Parents' magazine_ For instance, orange. and lemon peels make stunning neck· laces. Cut the peels into small pieces, string, and then paint the pieces with colorless nail polish.

Shirley Stueber, former Lincoln high school student who Was in Lincoln for a visit two weeks ago, is attending Lakeview high school in Chicago, Illinois. It is a large school, with an attendance of about 4,000. "The football team was a let down, after being used to teams like Lincoln high," said Shirley. · "The football team played a number of games this year an<~ lost all of them." The school has· an R. 0. T. C. unit in which training is required of all boys. The highesw rank is major, and heads the unit. The rest of the officers are captains and first and second · lieutenants. On certain days they are required to wear their uniforms and are graded for their neatness. The school has three different shifts from 8:00 to 2:30, from 8:45 to 3:15, and from 9 :3() to 4:00. They have eight 45 minute periods a day and have 25-minute lunch periods. Shirley hopes to return here to school in January.

"I've gained ten pounds since being in the Navy," said Seamon second class, Keith Chase, who recently visited Lincoln high during his leave from the Great Lakes Naval Training center. Keith, '42, has been in the Navy for six weeks. "My first f(mr . weeks .were spent in Boot camp where we were taught driiling; given. inoculations and issued suits. We were given two white suits, two blue suits, shoes and so on," he said. Smiling, he told of having his inoculations given in his left arm so that he could salute officers when they passed. "I spent one week in quarantine for scarlet fever," Keith remarlted. "One day I peeled potatoes for eight hours, but it wasn't so very bad except that I missed out on a recruit dance. I like everything about the Navy and my brother Paul, who has been in the Navy for about five years, feels the same way," said Keith. '"Wb.en · I get back to Great Lakes, I am going to radio. school.
What Can You Do To A.id The War? To find out all the things boys and girls of high school age can do fo aid in the war is the aim of the student and faculty committee on leisure. Each week there will be an article telling of an organization that one may join and what It is doing to aid the war. This week the Girl Reserves has been chosen. The. Girl Reserves have been making scrap books for the Us_ o. In them they put such things as crossword puzzles, detective stories, serials, car· toons, jokes and humorous items, intellectu~I Items such as · on aviation, or anything else that would make it interesting .. The club projects are done by .committees, and the material for covers is furnished. The girls bring their own clip· pings and paper for the iriside. Miss Elizabeth Roe, head of the u. s; 0., told the girls also if they wished to, they could bring things for the U. S. O. bulletin boards, such things as maps and jokes. Also rope, twine, paper and boxes would be taken for wrapping Christmas presents. Since they use 500 cookies a day, she asked the gifls to make cookies ancj send them to the U. S. O. b1,1ildirig. This is how tl•e Girl Reserves are helping in the war. What are you doing?

Open Forum To the Editor: It seems '. to me that with this ·coming of winter and. the beginning of gasoline rationing, there is going to be more tardiness than ever before. Many will be forced to ride their bicycles and some · to walk. I think that this idea of 30 minutes after school for tardiness should be abandoned. Some s tudents could be in time to catch the bus or hitch a ride home with someone after school who ha d a car, but if they had to stay 30 minutes after school, this could not be accomplished. We're mak, ing sacrifices for the nation'a rubber supply; l think the school could make one for us. Some students. would naturahy take advantage of this, but the majority would be willing to cooperate. It's going to be a hard winter getting up .and walk\Jig or riding our hikes to school; if we should happen to be a little late once or twice we wouldn't have to stay after school. I think if we gave it a trial it would work. How about it? -Tom Lawrie.
Editor's note: Pupils are re· quired to make up ·time only on a second offense. · To the Editor: There have been several student s in the school who have dis• played an unschool-like attitude towards the members of the a thletic teams of the school, namely by wearing other school letter sweaters, or wearing letter sweaters and letters Of this school Which they themselves did not attain. This school, through the course of years, has maintained an · Un• written law, that no -other letter sweaters be worn by anyone other than those which h ave been awarded by this school. It a lso states no one shall wear letters which they themselves have not earned. The above statement would pertain to a girl wearing her boy friend's sweater. Any sensible girl would not accept the sweater, l:!ut for .each major award, the player is privileged to purchase a gold football, ba seball, track shoe, whichever sport he excelled in. This gold tok en is a much nicer gift and looks better than an oversized Sloppy Joe sweater shoved to the elb6Ws. ' The action of some of the fairer ~ex that have been weip'i;lg outof-s.chool letter sweater~ hl!-s¢ definitely provoked the members· of the L Club. This should be .Stopped. ~L Club.

Tournament Prospect.
In the school tournament, a two-year letterman from Pennsylvania, 5-7, Wilbur Frazier, is expected to strengthen the attack at forward. Another light in mentor Weyand's eye is Morris · Galter, six footer, who was on last year's varsity for a time, but saw more action on Coach Beechn:er's re· serve squad. Rodney Cox, junior, should do . well at center as a replacement for McArthur, and was a star on last year's sophomore outfit. Rounding out the squad are Ralph Leikam, Harold Jacob, Dave Krcmarik, Phil Oxley, Johnnie Williams, Jim Swanson and Ivan Evans from last year's reserve squad, plus Harry' Meginnis, tournament discovery. Added to the list of prospects later in the week were seniors John McKay, Wallace Munro and Bruce Corrick. First and

As the score indicated, the battle was close, with both teams yielding little ground in what might have been called a floor game. Out of the victory came the right for the Cadets to play the reserves squad in the near future. It is hoped that the endurance boys will not be too hard on the reserves, since four of the players are from this year's .football squad. They are Bob Goldstein, a guard; Bobbie "Rounding" Glenn, all state fullback; Al Mulder, a guard, and center Ed Labovitz. SHIEKS

Only a Few Minor lnjur!es Hamper Lincoln Football Team During Season This was one oi those fortunate football seasons with only a few minor injuries. Most miseries were intelligently avoided by faithful attention to calesthenics and application of ankle wraps. Injuries of the 1942 season were recorded by Bud Ruhl, trainer, as follows: Ernie Lee injured his right knee August 26, the first day of practice. He turned it in blocking, but after some heat treatments, it re.covered rapidly and. gave him no trouble in the Kearney game.. It was taped and he wore an elastic and metal support during the season. He injured it in the. first .quarter of the Massillon game and was kept out until the half time when he re-entered with his knee taped. Tom Morey took second position on the injury list August 27, the second day of practice on the Elliott school grounds, with a. bad knee injury. With heat and massage treatments two times a day and having it taped for practice, the Kearney and Massillon games, it improved rapidly. Tackles also get hurt and "Big" John 1McKay is no exception. He sprained a wrist in the Kearney game when a player fell into his hands as he was rushing through the line. It bothered him occasionally although it wa.S taped for every game and practice. Dick "Bfrthday" ' J3ogan. was kept out of the mid-season games with a bad chariey-horse in his left leg which he acquired in a practice just after the Scottsbluff game while putting a side body block on another player. A threatening end for -many a Links opponent was Dav e Krcmarik who was taken out of the Massillon game with a sprained back . muscle and an injured vertebra. It bothered him off and on the whole season but is better now. Die~ Lodge, another fighting Links, was condemned to limp in the mid-season, but recovered quickly. He sprained his right ankle in practice, but had it taped only a few times. Arden Means, all-stae guard, got the cramps in both legs in the Northeast game. but they were only temporary and he was
not bothered the rest of the season with any injuries. Francis "Mickey" McDermott was taken out of the Northeast game after getting kicked on the right shin. He played the South game although the skin was black and blue. It was wrapped with an elastic band the next three games. Quarterback Roger O'Donnell got a stif,f neck in the Northeast game and sprained his ankle in the Omaha South game. The ankle ailment kept Rog out of the Central game, but he started .t he Grand Island game. Harry Fox, the great Lincoln defensive end, had a knee injury, but it did not give him much trouble. He wore an elastic knee guard the rest of the season. .That shifty, rugged, little half· back, Bobby Jacobsen, was carried out of the Omaha Central game. The last quarter after picking up a lot of yardage, he was tackled on the right hip. When the dust settled he failed to get up. It turned out to be a bruised muscle and gave him a little trouble in the Grand Island game. This Omaha Central game brought a sprained ankle to Gene Kirkendall and "Kirk" also turned his knee in the Grand Island game, but they both recovered quickly. Don Pickerill; Links fullback, is listed with two badly sprained ankles he picked up during midseason practice. They had almost rec.o vered when he spra~ned them the night before the Omaha Central game. He made the trip, but they were so .s wollen and sore, he didn't even suit up for the game. He finished the season by enlisting in the U . S. Navy and is going to leave very soon. Bobby Glenn, the invincible, met with accidents in the Massillon and Northeast tussles, At Massil· Ion he made enough tackles to sprain his hands and five fingers, It was necessary to tape them almost all the rest of the season. While he was carrying the leather for Lincoln in the Northeast game, he was tackled and a Northeast player fell on his head. When he got up he walked to the huddle, but was unconscious of his actions and couldn't ·get the plays in his head, so was taken out of the game.
Basketball is just around the corner and the basketball goals around town will be getting more attention as sports-minded Lincolnites try their luck at tossing the oversized apple into the basket. As for the Red and Black cagers, a certain cloak of eager anticipation toward the coming season has been seen glowing from their eyes. They are impatient to get started on the road to another state and Missouri Valley title. Let's hope there are no detours. ' There should be some. new let. ter sweaters breezing ar6und the halls, with the football squad getting their "L's" Thursday after school. But, like gasoline, sweaters are hard to get these days.
Roger O'Donnell missed two big events of the ·year, the football banquet and the awards assembly, But Roger was on a mighty mission ; he was taking his examinations for the Husker squadron in Kansas City, Missouri. The cagers are going to be flashier than ever this season, accor.ding to "Hook" Lauer, student manager. The Lincoln fans are wondering if the new suits will be of any aid to the boys when they try to repeat themselves as state champions.
The football banquet was strictly a stag affair, as informal as the football t eam could be. This was the first stag banquet as far as we know and the boys really enjoyed themselves, butter and all.

With nine Lincoln high football players mentioned on the Journal and Star all state honor roll list of 1942, a new all time record was . made, that of placing more men on the select all state list than any other high school in the state. Whole Line Picked.
A great honor was given the Lincoln forward wall, when the whole line appeared on the select list, Harry Fox and Francis "Mickey" McDermott at ends, Harold Becker and John McKay at tackles, Ernie Lee and Arden Means, guards, and Morris Gaiter, center, complete . the list of honor roll linemen.. In the backfield "Slingin" ·Gene Kirkendall was given. the title ot individual backfield star for his triple threat efforts. "Bounding" Bobbie Glenn, the plunging artist, was the other back picked from Lincoln. Thus nine members of the state champion Red and Black team were awarded all state honors, which shows why Coach Beech· ner's lads were awarded kings of prep football for the fifth time in six years. Because of their good showing, Charlie Valencia: a flashy back, and Bob Patton, and his educated toe, received honorable mention on Hollis Limprecht's list. South Places Sixth.
Omaha South, whom the paper ranked second in the state football circles, to Lincoln high, placed six men on the honor roll list. On the World Herald. all state team, two J_.inks were selected by Gregg McBride on the first eleven, Gene Kfrkendall, triple threat back, and stalwart guard, Arden Means. On the second World Herald squad, Harold Becker, tackle, was the lone Lincoln .man mentioned. On the roll of honor, fullback Bobbie Glenn was the lone Lincoln representative of the Red and Black picked by the Omaha World Herald.

Links Board Positions Announced Decorating Promoted By ,Reps Holiday Plans Are Discussed A member of the Christmas decorating committee, Joe Marvin, toid the home room representatives in meeting Tuesday plans for decorating home rooms for the holiday season. Ideas expressed were that cartoons might be drawn on the blackboard or religfous pictures drawn and dis~ tributed about the walls. Joe also suggested that wreaths could be hung if the pupils wished to spend Iii. little money for that purpose. H. C. Mardis and members of the war committee gathered the representatives to answer questions the students might have on the Victory Corps. Such questions were answered lil.s: "May girls join?" "Yes." "Do students retain their emblems after graduation?" "Undecided." "How ®es the Victory Corps differ from the Red Cross?" "All now belong to the Red Cross.. Individuals will earn Corps membership." Roger Stewart was elected the home room representatives' member to the parent's advisory committee at the last meeting. · Because of the shortage in films this year, there will be Iio home room pictures taken for the Links. To comply with this, the representatives may not have their pictures in the year book, either. This matter will be further discussed at a later meeting.
From the Hi-
Point of View
By Mildred Breuer. Housecleaning in Peru .••• At last Peruvian federal police, acting on information from the U. S. state department, have dug into the spy nest in their midst and collared 38 suspected Nazi agents. · Among them was a deepsea diver who had volunteered to attach time bombs to the keels of Allied ships in Buenos Aires harbor. This may have been the overdue result of Sumner Welles' words when he accused Peru of harooring Nazi agents. The sinking of at least two British cargo ships has been tied up with this espionage. Scores of others probably were sent· to their doom by code messages or high-powered radio set11 and interchange of information through Spanish ships. In preliminary court hearings ~vidence began to focus suspicion on certain activities at the Buenos Aires' German embassy. Victory Models.••• "Useful Ob3ects in Wartime" featured in Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art are all fashioned in priority patterns and include such masterpieces as baking pans made of paper, a plastic sink stopper, and a cornhusk doormat. :That Russian Winter..•. The reason General Winter is the pal of th.e Russians is because they know how to handle him. For example: German and Russian froces were separated by an important river patched with ice floes. Red sappers began working silently at night building a . bridge two feet under the water. Then the Russians attacked. Red infantry rushed across the icebound river. Then came the tanks. The ice cracked under them but they rolled on over the invisible bridge to route the astonished nazis Of1 the opposite bank. From Sun to Sun•••• It'il not all peaches and cream for the big shots in.

Streanilinecl Santa Delivers Packages In Neiv U.S. P-40 "Up! Up! Up! an.d away." No, it's not the great Superman; it's old Saint Nick himself all dressed up in his flaming red and white outfit ra ri ng to start sending Christmas presents our way. This year, as we see that red and white flash skimming over our housetops, we will wonder what has come over him. Instead of his old sleigh chugging along with his 12 deerpower motor, we will see him zooming through the sky in his U. S. P-40 with his little helpers, the brownies, buzzing along in a couple of B-17s. Some may mistake them for "the Gremlins." His reindeer, Donner, Blitzen and team-mates have been put in storage for the next couple of winters, until they are needed again by Santa. "This year I'm going modern," Santa panted to this interviewer as he wormed his way through the crowded streets of Hollywood doing the congo and followed by such celebrities as Dorothy Lamour, Betty Grable, Hedy Lamarr, Gene Tierney and Lana Turner. This was the climax of the greatest Bond Selling tour ever made in U.S. A. When asked about h_is escape from the nazi concentration camp, he smiled and said, "With Superman helping me, how could I lose?" And thus ended a perfect day with Santa streaking through t he air towards the cold North Pole, not singing "Jingle Bells," but filling the air with a few choruses of "I got' spurs that Jingle, Jangle, Jingle."
Modern Cinderella's Dreams Are Practical Nowdays when modern Cinderella goes to bed at night she doesn't dream of Prince Charming. Instead she dreams of when Johnny will get some rubber tires and real gasoline for his jalopy, or when those bobby pins and curlers will be back in circulation and again adorn her hair at nights. She will have a lump of sugar, a chocolate candy bar, and oh, yes, the best of all a stick of Double Mint gum. She'll have a rubber raincoat and blue skirt with pleats galore. Just . to dream of silk and nylon stockings as a realfty gives her a thrill. Oh, . dear, 'Cinderella, what a wonderful dream.

Fiester and I nspector Harold Martin of the L in· coln fire department explained at the W ednesday meeting h ow fir e hazards around the home may be eliminated. Storage of large a mount s ef gasoline, faulty wiring, trash or inflammable objects near fur naces and stoves, and candles or bad wiring on . Christm as trees were a ll warned against. In a demonstration, Inspect or Martin showed how easily gasoline fumes can be ignited by a small spark or even by a light bulb. Mustard gas, tear gas, phosgene a nd Lewisite, four t ypes of war gases, were discussed by N. H. Fromwell, professor of chemistry at the University of Nebraska. "At the first indication'. of the presence of g a s, a person should put on h is gas mask and leave it on ," said Professor From well. "'l'hen if he hasn't pr oper clothing for protection against the gas, he should immediately get out of the danger dist rict. Hea vy r aincoats, hats and boots are proper pr otec• tion."
December 5 Was Last Chance for Enlistment December 5 was the last chance for 18 year olds to enlist. All enlistments of boys over 18 h ave been ordered stopped by President Roosevelt.

Confusion During Exit Drill Should Be A voided
., EINSTEIN ANGLEDOME
In the monstrous fire that occurred in a night club in Boston, l\Iassaehusetts, people were in panic as fire swept throughout t he building·. 'l'hey rushed to all exits to g·et free from the spreading flames. Even the revolving door, which would have sav ed a great number, could not be opened because people were pushing in opposite directions. Such a panic took the lives of 479 persons. An occurrence like this makCR one sit up and take notice. This emphasizes the necessity of the monthly fire drills in Lincoln high school, to teach U:s to be calm and avoid confusion, which might result in many unnecessary injuries and deaths. How would you react if a fire broke out 1 The Lincoln fire department and the schools are doing their part in teaching pupils how to act calmly if such a thing should occur.

Students Prefer Swing To Other Amusements It looks as if the majority of us are hep.cats. Of course, these are only a few piipils' answers to the question of the week: "If you had your choice for an evening's entertainment, which would you like to dogo to a dance, a show, roller skating, or an informal party?" Pat Colton-"A dance. You can see all your friends and talk about it for the rest of the week, good or bad.!" "Chuck" Woodworth - "Informa l party-more to eat and more time to do it." Phyllis Mortlock-"Dancekeeps you busy, keeping track of who's with whom and stuff!" Bob Baker-"A dance if you're with the r ight person and there's a good band." Lorraine Brill-"Show or informal party-the more the merrier a nd a better chance to get acquainted!" Irvin g Dana-"A dance if you 've got the right gal and plenty of swing." Jackie J a ne A n d r e w s"Dance, more fun, especially intermission !" Leola "Lee" Safford-" A dance-anything with lots of music, hot and sweet!"
Open Forum To the Editor: I don't know whether his name is Doane or Duane F ifer (the Advocate doesn't seem to know either), and I don't know who he is, but in the Advocate of December 9, he makes a statement which is not only exaggerated, but is a downright m isrepr esentation. He states, "Arkansas schools are much inferior." He states fur ther, "the schools of Nebraska ar e very much envied by the people of Ar· kansas." I also came from Ark ansas a nd I can just see the people of Arkansas, with tongues hanging out, looking up Nebraska way and wishing they had schools just like Nebraska's. Don 't get me wrong, I have a t· tended Lincoln high since September 14, and find it a very fine school although it is by no m eans perfect. I also have attended several schools in Arkansas and they are all good schools, not perfect, but they are by no means "inferior." I attended Little Rock senior high a nd know for a fact that it is the largest and finest school, not only in the sout h, but surpasses many nor thern schools. Doane of Duane Fifer happened to attend one of the most crowded schools in Arkansas, crowded because of the large defense and Army projects just outside of North Little Rock, and immediately comes to the conclusion that all of Arkansas' schools are crowded. He makes one statement that I know to be a gross exaggeration, and that stat'ement is this: "Because it is overcrowded, if any of the pupils so much as 'sass' the t eacher, they are expelled from school permanently." A student is expelled in Arkansas only if he g~ts t o the point t hat he is a menace to the pupils and the school system. Mr. Fifer states also that the pupils of Arkansas are much harder to g·e t a long with than in Lincoln. I have lived in many stat es and have gone to many schools and I find that you can get a long with anyone anywhere if you put forth a little effor t yourself. · As to th e st atement Doane makes about the South still having that Civil War hate, he no doubt stirred up antagonism, for t he South doesn't keep that hate burning except when some "Yankee" comes south and stirs up the coals, and then. you will see t hat hate f lare up with great brilliance. Duane also states t hat the Civil war is ever a debat able question wit h him. Well any time he wants a red hot debate he can come down to 103 and look me up. Horace Belin.
Follow Sally's· Ad·vice and Help Your Uncle Sam Dear Suzie.Here I sit in home room with · plenty to do, but I have an instant urge because of Mr. Mardis' speech in assembly this morning to write you a not e about my changes in plans. You know, we've been kind of lazy, not going t o O.C.D. mf'ssenger meetings because we've had no transportation and all those other silly reasons. Wish I had another chance. So this morning after I got back to H. R., I practically changed by entire registration. I changed home . ec. ·to preflight aeronautics and art to first aid. No more snap courses for me. And you know, I always had the idea that m.a th in any form was hard, but it really isn't. It's just all in my mind, so, next semester you'll see me racking my brain over physics or algebra 3. Gee! I r eally felt like a heel, not doing anything toward this war effort , but I consoled myself ,( partly) this morning. And tonight I'm going down to join the Red Cross and register for a swimm ing program at the Y.W.C.A. That should make me eligible for the Victory Corps. I'd surely be proud tO wear tha t insignia on my sleeve! Next summer, I'm going to get a good hard job, and put at least 10% of my earnings in war stamps. It's the least I can do. Thinks I'll learn how to knit too. I hope you'll go in with me on a ll this st uff, but whether you do or not; I'm going to anywa y. I 'm g oing t o sta rt g o ing in fo r extra help in all my low classes. The smarter I am, the dumber that makes Hitler look. See you soon. - SALLY. P. S.: Let's join the W .A.A.C.'s when (and if) we graduate.
What A.rt You Doing To A.id the Wa:r? Many of the students of Lincoln high have asked how they could aid the war by do ing outside work that wouldn't require them to join an organization. They might have spare time on Saturday or on Sunday, where they wouldn't have time on a school day. Did you ever th ink of going down to the Red Cross center and rol ling bandages on an evening shift or on Sunday? Would it ta ke very much effort to ma ke a trip down town once a week to give your 's ervices so that so me dying s~ld ier's life might be saved because the bandages you rol led reached him just in time ? Of course it wouldn 't, an d that is where your help is needed! It has been open to un iversity g irls, but they now have it open to high school girls, knowing how many th ere are who want to help in some way. High .s chool g irls cah work at the American Red Cross on shifts that are from 9:00 a. m. to 1 :00 p. m., from 1 :00 p. m. to 5:00 p. m. and from 6:00 p. m. to 9:00 p. m. They are open every evening except Friday and Sat urday and all day Sunday. Saturday, so far, has not been used, but if there are 30 girls willing to work Saturday afternoon, the center will be opened. Of course the majority of t he girls would have t o work in the evenings on the evening shift from 6:00 to 9:00.
Are you sparkling-eyed on Monday morning? Do you beam w ith a cheery s mi le ? Do you tingle to your very finger tips with vitality? Then go back to bed, for you're si ck. On the other hand, are your eyelids heavy? Do they droop? Do you yawn on the average of every three seconds ? Do your hands drag along on the floor when you walk ? ls. your hair straggl y and unkept ? Are you definitely all -in ? By all mea ns come to school then. Come to school and yo u'll feel rig ht at home 'cause you're normal. Others a round you w ill be nodding drowsily and you may do the same. You see it fits together pe rfect ly. You nod, they nod ; your head drops, theirs d rop; you sno re, they snore, and all is well.
Response For War Work Is Very Good Response of the pupils to t he calls for war and other service work, has been good. The girls have responded well. t o the call for work just before Chr istmas. The date for the work on bed jackets for soldiers in hospitals will be announced soon.

Rhyme for Victory There is a man in our t own, Who thought he was so wise, He bought coffee, tea and sugar, Then bragged about his prize. Inslde his house was hidden, A brand new rubber tire, He told t he ration board he had none, Boy, was he a liar. He also bought some gasoline, He got it in a drum, He was t he proudest man in town, F or, gas, he'd gotten some. He didn't tell his wifey dear, Too late, he knows he should, For down she went with lighted match, To get a load of wood. She laid the match upon the drum, Which was a great mistake, Because the drum exploded, And left nothing in its wake. Now he doesn't have a tire, Wife, gas, sugar, coffee, tea, Because he was a h oarder, Wilma Jean Lumley.
"Music and Romance," a book of the inter workings of all types of music, was written by Hazel Gert rude Kinscella , former Lincoln woman, writer of Music Appreciation Readers and author of "History Sings." In her book of three parts, Miss Kinscella has taken her reader step by st ep from the very first problem, that of learning to appreciate t he music h e hears, by est ablishing definite listening habit s. This is done by giving a background of infor mation on what is being protrayed in the music. Anyone interest ed in a complete book of such things as great composers, t he art of listening and understanding music in all forms, folk songs of the sout h and old countries, folk dances, suites, overtures, symphonies, and opera will enjoy "Music and Romance."

Uncle Sam Needs Numerous Tin Cans For War Industries and For Food With the shortage of tin and the 1hortage of time, Americans have no time to waste. Tin is used in niany war industries, for bushings, for airplane motors and for machine gun mounts. · It is also used for plating the canisters of gas masks, for many other sheet metal products, and is required for millions of food cans needed to feed troops in the fields or crews at sea. This country's quota is threequarters of a ton of fully "prepared" tin cans per 1,000 population. Nine thousand average sized cans make up one ton. Every tin can turned in by a family will go directly t~ detinning plants where the tin coating will be separated from the steel bqdy of the can. One hundred per cent of the metal content is recovered as tin or steel in form for immediate use for war production. Each and everyone needs to help save all ca ns . Paint, oil, varnish,
floor polish or cone-shaped cans are not wanted for salvage. Evaporated or condensed milk cans are not worth saving. Any coffee cans and others with pai.nted-on labels are not wanted. Cans which have paper labels should be washed off when prepared for salvage. To prepare these cans for collection each should be washed to assure sanitary conditions and to prevent contamination of detinning fluid. · The top and bottom should be removed to permit the free flow of detinning fluid over the entire surface of the cans. Flattening all cans by stepping on them leaves more space for more tin cans for salvage. A hammer should not be used to flatten the cans. Every pr epared tin can should be kept in a cardboard box, separ ated from the trash pile. Baskets, boxes or barrels are suitable cont a iners.

"The only Christmas present I desire this year is word from my husband and daughters, prisoners of the Japanese in Manila," said Mrs. J. Boomer, class of '99 and resident of Manila for the past forty years. Asked the difference between her mode of living In the Philippine . Islands and the United States she replied, "We· live more leisurely. We have more time to do the things we want to do and it makes our lives more pleasant. We are not held down by household duties and we have more time for ·o ur families and community." Her daily routine was different from ours in that she rose at 5:30 or 6 :00 a. m. and always had breakfast at 6:15. At 7:30 the children went to school and came home at noon. After luncheon the whole city was quiet and everybody went · to bed until 3 :00 p. m . for a siesta. Mrs. Boomer said she seeme'd to be continually straightening out the servant problems, although as a whole the servants are very loyal. The house in which Mrs. Boomer lived was surrounded by gardens full of ' ferns and hanging and foliage plants. The chief purpose of these gardens is to keep out
the glare of the sun as the windows have no panes or screens on them. They do not grow any vegetables in their gardens, therefore the only fresh vegetables grown on the Islands . are those grown by the Chinese. The Americans feel these are unsafe to buy because of the choice of fertilizers. "A· special school was maintained for American pupils with American teachers. The high schools being small carried only one course of study which includes language, mathematics and science, with a special stress on English. Also nearly everyone took Spanish," explained Mrs. Boomer. In the high school sports, swimming was more predominate than here and they had more outdoor sports because they could be outof-doors twelve months of the year. Golf was played all year around and there are famous Filipino tennis players. Their radio reception is a.s efficient as ours, according to Mrs. Boomer. They can get West Coast programs and also programs from Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore. They once received a direct broadcast from England. "I landed on the west coast October, 1941, six weeks before Pearl

"The ship was infested with Copra bugs which live on the coconut meat which is sent to the United States for the manufac" turing of shortenings, such as Crisco," she said. When asked what she expected of the future she stated, "We have always known the Japanese would some day try to take over the Philippine Islands! "When the Japanese spies reported the United States to be spending fifty million dollars· to protect the Philippines, the Japanese knew they had to strike quickly · and they struck before the defense was ready. Nickie's field and Canite were only half finished. "I expect the Philippines to be turned back to the United States in a peace treaty with Japan. "I expect that whatever change there may be in the political setup between the two · countries that there will be a very Close fraternal feeling always between America and the Philippine Islands. I believe this because of the blood shed by American and Philippine forces together on Bataan and Corregidor."

Cagers Have Heavy · Schedule for This Week-End Links Open at Irving Against Omaha Central, Grand Island Quintets }-..riday, Saturday Are Initial Tests For Links Five Stu Baller, one-time head men• tor at Lincoln high, has taken the reins of the Omaha Central cagers. Stu's basketeers will meet the Links in the opener December 18 on the Irving maples. The Eagle team is rated one of the strongest in the Gate city, after knocking off Oi:iiaha South in a 23-16 thriller. Their attack in the South game was cold, missing 31 out of 32 shots in the first half. But the Eagles came back with Hifferman and Potts leading the attack to rack up enough points to give them their first win. The Lincoln high basketballers should be in full strength .by Friday with Don McArthur and Bob Jacobsen carrying most of the load, while Dick Lodge, Earl Eager, Dave Kremarik and Morris Gaiter will see plenty of action on the maples. Getting the starting call for Central will likely be Hifferman, Potts, Sherman, Fry and Eppe1·aon. In the Omaha South game, the Eagles played a close man-to-man defense. But on the Irving maples they may use a zone defense because it is a much smaller floor. On the following day the Red and Black will entertain the Grand Island five at Irving. Coach Lee's team has lost one game so far this season. As th.ere was a change in this year's Grand Island grid squad, the Links will expect a stronger cage squad under mentor Jerry Lee's leadership. ·

Officers in Services, L. H, S. Graduates, Visit School and Tell of Experiences 2nd Lt. Charles Fisher, '40, visited school while on a five-day academic leave, which he received upon completion of an officer's candidate course at Aberdeen, Maryland. Upon leaving Lincoln, his first station was Camp Robinson, Arkansas. He participated i.n the Tennessee, Arkansas, .Louisiana, maneuvers, during which he was appointed to second army headquarters. After Pearl Harbor, the outfit was transferred to Ford Ord, California. Later, they moved to San Luis Obispo, California. While stationed here, he was transferred to the Ordinance Technical 35th divisfon headquarters. and sent to Los Angeles, where he was stationed at the ·time of his appointment to officer's candidate school. His new post is Keyfield, Missouri. Sgt. Bill Snyder, '41, stopped at Lincoln high on his way from ·· Camp Adair, Oregon, to the Tank destroyer officer candidate school at Camp Hood, Texas. Sgt. Snyder was chief of publications for the office of director of supply at Camp Adair. He was called by the national guard in January of '41. First class Petty Officer, Ray Wilkinson, '40, who w11.s on a fiveday leave after completing hi!I training at the Great Lakes train·

In a ten chair barber shop, he said, "They cut 108 heads in 15 minutes." When asked how often he was ·served beans, he replied,· "We get beans three times a day on Saturday, yes, even for breakfast, and if you don't eat them , you just go hungry." Ray's duty while on K.

Reserve Host To Tourney Cage Winner 13 Men Survive Cut In Squad
Will Play Games On Foreign Soil When the Lin~oln high cage squad plays its first game, it will be operating on a different court. Since no help could be obtained to set up the bleachers on the Whittier floor, the Red and Black home. games will be played at the Irving junior high school gymnasium. Since 1936, when Coach Ralph Beechner became the Links coach , the home contests have been played on the Whittier hard wood, so in a way ,the Lincoln high cagers will be playing on a forei·gn court when they open against Omaha C~ntral at Irving. Double Headers. Due to conflicting schedules of the Lincoln high and College View cagers, who will both play at Irving, double headers will undoubt~ edly be arranged. Coach Weyand's squad got its first taste of the Irving court in last Saturday's practice. The floor will not be new to many of the team as Don McArthur, Gus Eager, Dick Lodge, Phil Oxley, Harry Meginnis, Morris Gaiter, Jim Swanson and Bruce Corrick are all from Irving.
By Bruce Corrick. On the Northeast Rockets allopponent team, four Lincoln high gridders were mentioned, Harry Fox, end; Harold Becker, tackle; Ernie Lee, guard, and Bobby Glenn, fullback. M,uch credit should go to the reserve football team for two reasons: first of all, they were unde· feated, although they played but one game; and then spanked Beatrice reserves 34-0. Second, the boys on the Red and Black second squad had the will to stay out there night after night, rain or shine and drill on fundamentals, even though no games appeared in sight with the exception of the regular scrimmages with the first team. When the Lincoln cagers meet the Omaha Central five, a fa· miliar face will be seen on the bench, that of Stuart Baller, former Lincoln high coach who in recent years has coached teams from l"eru college and Omaha univeristy. Omaha Univeristy granted permissiop for Baller to instruct the Eagles, when no other mentor could be found to replace their former coach. Lincoln high's cross town rivals, the Northeast Rockets, really opeped the prep basketball season . by trouncing Plattsmouth to the tune of 51 to 14. Don McArthur, lanky Red and Black cager, was out of all last week's basketball practice because of an attack of the flu. "Mugs" is expected to be in fine shape for the first game Friday. In the sports classes it is surprising the n umber of boys that are so physically poor. There are boys, and a larger number than there should be, that can't even do a forward roll. This includes those fellows not being able to climb hand-over-hand up a rope and letting themselves down without sliding. It is really bad · that there is such a large number of boys that way. They have never done any physical training. Many boys couldn't make it through the ob- . stacle course over by the creek. Vic Schleich, giant Nebraska tackle and a graduate of Lincoln hi:gh, was the only Husker to win •'All Big Six" honors this year. Schleich, who played a whale of a game for the Red and Black in his high school days here, was the mainstay of the Nebraska University line the past season and was almost a unanimous choice for the honor.

Kirkendall, lt'leans, All-State Stars, Are Thrilled By Honor Bestowed On Them "Boy-some thrill." So quoth Gene Kirkendall, all-state b ack, when informed of the honor bestowed upon him. And so, once again the "Beechner Boys" make good in the state sportlight. Gene's ability could be accounted for by the face that he is the second in a . series of three Kirkendails w ho fought, fight, and will be fighting for our school colors. Alvin, .the oldest, played baseball, for the Links and Junior, the youngest, and a sophomore, saw action on Coach Worrall's r eserve squad. Gene, t he middle man, did his bit t oward forming the cham pionship squad of 1941 ; this being his second and last ·season, m uch to his regret. "Most of the squad and I consider the Massillion g ame the hardest we ever played. If it had been later in the season instead of being our second game, we might have had a better chance. The Tech game was probably the best because the whole tel!-m was really cooking on the front burner. Everything was clicking just right that n ight." Thus he ·aired his opinions on the entire season. He personally rates C 1 if f Squires, Northeast's all-state c enter, as the best man on the offensive squads, and Omaha South as the toughest team faced in state competition. As ·to his future following graduation, he has no qefinite plans because Uncle Sam might decide to take a hand in that, as
Swimming Team Not To Travel For Meets Because of war. time conditions, swimming activities will be curtailed this year, but Coach Ralph B eechner announced that there would be a tank team to be organized after Christmas vacation. The big t rouble, stated Beechner, is the difficulty in getting meets, with Omaha Technical definitely not traveling outside of the city for a t hletic engagements.
Gene will be eighteen soon. If he has the luck to have his own way, however, the University would be h is goal to finish his education"and probably play a little foot ball for recreation." The second of the Lincoln high first team a ll-state's, chosen by both Lincoln and Omaha papers, is Arden Means, stalwart s enior guard. Ardie, unlike Gene, has no athletic brothers. The fall of h is junior year wa s spent on Coach J oe Toman's reserve t eam, ·w here he made the start on his s uccessful athletic career and to date, he has proven his ability as the bulwark of the front wall. Ardie's opinions differ s lightly from the "Slingin' Sensation's" a s, quot e Mr. Means, "The best player in t h e state is Keith Albro, tackle from Scottsbluff who shifted to fullback later on in the season. The toughest guy I played against was Bill Austin, Grand Island guard." He also considers the th ird city team as the· toughest he was ever up against in state competition. "The Massi ll on game ?-uh-we'll forget that!" Although h e is a modest sort of person, Arden finally broke down and said: "It's pretty nice to see that you've been chosen all-state on the ' Omaha paper, and especially first string. Was I surprised when I found out I got on two a ll-stat e teams." (brief pause) -then emphatically-"But it didn't make me feel any different," in the true Means' styli:!.
Links Sportsmen Set An Amazing Record During Coach Ralph Beechner's teachings as head coach, Lincoln's sportsmen have set up an amazing record of football. In the past six years, the Links have played 50 games, 44 · victorious. Coach Beechner has also accounted for five state championships. In the s ix years, Lin coln hi gh has piled up a percentage · of .900 in ga,mes won, averaging 22.46 points per game to the opponents' 3.62 and shutting out the opposition 24 ti mes. In the past six years, Lincoln has won 44 games lost 4 and tied 2.

First blow of t he axe by Coach Worrall after Saturday's scrim• mage cut his reserve squad of 13 members after starting with 27 hopefuls. With the first game this ' Flriday on the Irving maples against the winners of t h e intramural tournament his boys are coming fast. H is roster w ill be bolstered by s everal juniors coming down from Weyand's first team cut. The reserves first unit is Fink and Colwell at front posts, Lebsac k a t the pivot posit ion, Her• gert and F iala in the back court. The second unit has Mcculla and Munson a t the forw~rds; at. the center, King; the gu ards will -be Kline and Cassiday. Because positions are wide open, the boys from Weyand's cut may push out some of the stated five by ·game t ime Friday. Ber quist, Betz and Larson are also knock· ing at the door of t he second u n it. , Among t he boys cut, Boettcher, Gerlach, Kelly, Leavitt and Browne will take up the cage sport by joining Coach Pump• hrey's sophomore team. The Cadets, who were the tourney winners, are lead by Bobby Glenn, a hard working forwar d. At the other forward post, is .Bob Goldstein. The high score in the final game was . Al Mulder who held down the pivot post. In the guard position are Jack Donovan and Ed Labovitz, while Jim Bolan is an able, su bstitute. These lads should give the reserves· a tough opener.

How About The Diving Board? When will the g irls' swimming tournament start? When will the diving board be set up ? · These and many more questions are being asked every day by girls who are interested and anxious for the swimming tournament to st.a rt on its way. The new diving board for the swimming pool is a little too large for the width of the pool. As yet no effort h as been made to set up the diving board. Just as soon as they install and fix the diving board, everything will be in order for the girls' swimm ing tournament to get on its way. E veryone is hoping this day will be very soon when things will be in order again,

From the Hi-
Point of View BY MILDRED BREUER. Trial by Fire •••
While we still wait to see those super-duper dream-planes of tomorrow, guaranteed to "make the angels gasp," a new secret weapon is making its fiery debut in Africa. Mounted on the chassis of a General Grant tanlt, it moves rapidly, sends big shells ripping through armor of all types of axis tanks in a blaze of terrific dazzling flashes. It got its first trial at El Ala· mein, gave a boost to Eighth Army's morale, and became another nightmare for Rommel. A Word For It •••
Testifying to Mexico's wholehearted war effort, the Mexican National Defense Ministry forecast that by the end of next year, 16,000,000 men will have had military training. Most of them are organized in a citizens' militia, with weekly practice sessions. Consignments of equipment are arriving from the United States. The Mexicans have already f ound a name for U. S. jeeps: They call them "las cucarachas." Fighting Fire with Fire •••

Lt. Joyce, Local Hero of Tokyo Raid, Tells of Unusual Experience as Flier Lt. Richard 0. Joyce, Lincoln's h ero of the bombing of Tokyo, who took pupils on an imaginary raid in China when he spoke to assemblies here Thursday, had no idea when he was a senior here five years ago what the next few years would bring. "While I was in Lincoln high," Dick said, in a recent interview, "I never dreamed of flying. I never was in an airplane until I was in university. When I graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1940, I was a reserve officer in the infantry. I decided that wouldn't be so good, so I applied to the traveling board. As I had a degree, I didn't have to take a mental, and when the doctor said I passed my physical, there I was-in the air corps." He first was at Randolph Field, then Kelly Field, and from there went to a Bomber Squadron on the West Coast, where he stayed until he went to China in April. Since then, he has never been in any kind of aircraft except the Army's. "Oh-these medals," Dick remarked, when questioned concerning two medals which adorned his uniform. "The one on the right hand side is an American Distinguished Flying Cross and the other is a Chinese Distinguished Flying Award given to me and all the other boys that were in on the raid by Madam Chiang Kai-shek at a luncheon in our honor." He lost no time saying, " The luncheon was the first good meal I had eaten since leaving the states. Good meat and potatoes and the only ice cream I saw in China." Coming home, Dick flew from Krochi, India, to Miami in five days . .Alter he reached the states he lost his priority and had to take the train. I arrived in Chicago in short

Lieutenant Joyce received orders to report to Washington, D. C., following his furlough. Lieutenant Joyce, related to the pupils in assembly how a bombing raid is planned and carried out; from take off to landing after tll.e raid. "Don't underestimate the Japanese, they're plenty tough," said Lieutenant Joyce. "Their planes have a . high fuel capacity and plenty of speed, but I'd say that American pilots and planes are superior to any of the Japanese." Joyce has been in 23 bombing raids over China since the Tokyo raid. He explained how it felt to be attacked by the enemy saying, "I'm plenty scared before an attack and after one, but am too busy to be frightened during one." Lieutenant Joyce, who was a member of the national honor society in high school, was introduced by Jack Knudsen,

Fonner Links In Coast Guard, Tells Of Part In Invasion Of North Africa Eugene Law rence, former Links, of the United States Coast Guards, was home on f urlough recently after t a king part in the invasion of North Africa. He was in North Africa for 12 . days, most of that time at Casablanca where the fighting was quite terrific. E ugene stated, "Shortly after landing in North Africa, I witnessed t he sinking of three transport ships. Fortunately all soldiers had left before the ships sank. Some members of the crew were lost, but not very many." While on the way over, men in the convoy r eceived encouragement and congra tulations for their magnificent spirit, from the commanding officer, MaJ. G. S. Patton, . Jr. In the landing order, the officer stated, "During the first few days and nights after you get a shore, you must work unceasingly, regardless of~ sleep, regardless of food. A p int of sweat will save a gallon of blood. The eyes of the world are watching us; the heart of America beats f or us ; God is with us. On our victory depends the freedom from slavery of the human race. We shall surely win," was his conclusion. In the convoy of 112 ships, there were several destroyers, cruisers, and various other ships. Eugene m entioned that in order to avoid enemy submarines, they had to follow a sort of ziz-zag course, which added abeut 20 per· cent more distance to the normal
route, and took quite a bit more time. He said, also, that h e had m anned one of the large guns on his ship. "I fired a bout t wenty rounds on an enemy plane," he remarked, "and it really gave me a thrill, but the plane was t oo far out of range for effective work w ith the guns." On the r eturn trip, a group of British flyers, who had been war prisoners in Africa, were brought back to the United States to r est. Eugene stated t hat the E nglish flyers praised the American pilots h ighly for their skillful flying. The British pilots were certainly glad to see the Americans when they came flying overhead. Having been asked what he thought t he m orale of the s oldiers was, he said, ·'Very high, personally I'm part ial to the Navy and Coast Guards. I like the Coa st Guards swell and everything about it, even the discipline. I have the highest r egard for the branch of t he service I'm in." "There is very little illness in the Coast Guar ds," he con tinued. "Due to the fact probably that habits are so regular, food is of the best quality a nd we g et plenty of it. Everything is done t o keep us in the very best of physical condition." When asked what he intended to do after the war, he stated that he was inter ested in going into the F.B.I. "I like a lot of excitement," he stated.
lloliday season also carry out many Christmas idea. The best decor ated h ome rooms are being judged this week, a nd the r ooms will be photographed by the camera club. Most of the decorations were completed over the weekend, but m a ny took on a festive a ir early last week. Home ··oom 102 had bells at each window, a nd red and green cord strung up around the room. Red and green holly was drawn along t he top edge of the blackboard in room 121. It a lso had bells on the door and a wreath at each window. Home room 128 'had small pine trees arranged on a table with silver s tars sprinkled underneath. W ith wreaths on the door and a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, complete with lights and all the trimmings, h ome room 141 had captur ed the Christmas spirit. They also h a d wreaths on the windows and door and along the t op edge of t he blackboard, they had strung a red streamer with tinsel. Red a nd green streamers were also strung a cross the ceiling.

Joining Victory Corps Requires Much Effort "Are there any strings attached to this '?" This is an example of the questions being asked by many pupils in regard to the requirements for membership in the Victory Corps. They want to know exactly what the requirements are, and how and when they can be met. Not evei·yone in the school will be able to join, because membership is rather difficult to attain. But it is not so difficult that pupils who put forth some extra effort and really try, will not be admitted. Registration for next seme~ter may have to be changed a slight bit to provide for such subjects as first aid and physical education. Time will have to be set aside for patriotic. work of some nature. Messenger service and sewing or rolliilg bandages for the Red Cross are examples of this kind of work. . The real duties are accomplished in meeting the requirements, whereas the actual organization is more or less an honorary one. In this respect the Victory Corps is like the na· tional honor soceity and similar groups. Wearing the insignia of this organization on your sleeve will be a great honor, so work at it energetically.
Wartime Conditions Change Observance of Christmas With men fighting and dying on every battle front, with the world in a turmoil of war and disorder, Christmas cannot be celebrated as a day of festivity and joy this year. Something of the strife and terror of this war has reached out to the far corners of the earth from the weary and oppressed people, until there is no room anywhere for just gaiety and laughter. Before the old spirit of Christmas can be revived, a lasting world peace must be made. The· words "Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men" take on a different meaning now. Every man, woman, and child must look ahead into the future with hope in his heart. Hope for establishing peace and freedom in every country, such as we in the United States have enjoyed. Many of the privileges granted us in our free way of life must be sacrificed for the duration. Each individual has a job to be done before these privileges can be resumed. It will be a long and bitter struggle before the war is won. Cooperativeness and wholehearted attention to the job at hand 'will get results, ;whether the task be large or small. Even the tnost trivial duties are an aid in this great ea.use for :which we are fighting. The true meaning of Christmas can never be lost wherever men and women retain and uphold their freedom of life and spirit. .
More Pupils Are Needed To Build Model Airplanes When :an appeal is made for some patriotie work to be performed, what is the response of the pupils in Lincoln high school? Do they participate actively, or do they sit idly by, each waiting for the other fellow to do the job? An opportunity for answering this question is the call for builders of model airplaneswhich are badly needed by variou~ branches of civilian defense and the armed forces. Lincoln high's quota, which increases steadily, could be easily filled if mors pupis would follow the example of Miss Florence J e~kins' fifth period modern history 2 class, which has take~ up: as a project the building ?f these model airplanes. The class is cooperatmg 100 percent, and Miss Jenkins is also making one. This work, which is easy to do and takes but a short time, is of great value to the nation. The materials and directions can be obtained from C. E. Evans in room 143. Why not triple the amount made last year?

Red Cross ls Good Place For Leisure Money "Did you have a nice Christmas?" This be a universal question after t he New Year. And over here, most of the answers will be, "Why, yes, thank you," or "We had a lovely Christmas." But we may find a s oldier, sailor or marine who won't r eply in the same gay manner. "My Christmas was spent in a s trange t own. You see, I couldn't get a seat on a bus or train .

Does that satisfy the longing for old friends, trimming the tree, and exchanging gifts ? Ask any service man, or any service man's mother ! If you plan to travel, consider what some soldier, sailor or marine who hasn't seen his pa.rents in nearly a year, might miss.

What Are You Doing To Aid the War???? Of all the many organizations that girls can join, one is the Gir l Scouts. T.!J.eir aJm is to keep physically fit, mentally clean and to help Uncle Sam in any way possible. What are they doing to aid the war ? They are doing ever · so many things and all of them very important too. At the present they all are taking 0. C. D. messenger service training. They also are always ready to help out any organization that is in need of their services such as the Red Cross, U. S . 6. and others. Some of their many projects of the year have been-taking first aid and receiving certificates, learning of gas defense, fire prevention, knitting afghans, filling U. S. 0 . cookie jars twice a month, rolling bandages and learning how to mend clothing. The Senior Service Scouts is a civilian defense organization for girls of the age of 15 t o 19 and in high school but the Girl Scout age limit runs from 7 t o 19. A girl who wishes to be a Girl Scout should find a troop that she would like to be in and put in hP-r application t o them~ At their meeting they will dis· cuss it and if a girl is accepted, she may become a member automatically after attending three consecutive m e e t i n g s. Most of the troops try to have a social gathering once a month anrl these are usually parties.
Unusual Words Astound Science· Talent Entries Can you read and interpret? The Science Talent Search contestants thought that they could do it fairly well, but after taking the examination for science appi· tude, they were not so sure. Most of the pupils thought it was the hardest test "ever laid eyes on." Words never before heard of in any of the remotest ideas, rare diseases, and m echanical principles in uncommon applications were all put before them in lengthy paragraphs for them to interpret. Lasting three hours, the test held everyone still as a mouse for the first two and a half hours in the library. Then one by one they completed the test and fair ly "stagger ed" out . Pupils in the library have been heard to remark that it looked as if they wer e really " tearing their hair." Besides the test, the contestant s have to han d in a 1,000 wor d theme to I. D. Young by December 23, 0.11 "Science 's Next Great Step Ahead." The test papers and essays will be mailed to Washington, D . C., contest headquarters, for consideration.

Ch r i st m as-the very word brings it. light into the eyes of children and hope . to the grownups. Christmas will be different this· year with many. of our fathers, brothers, friends and relatives far away and unable to share the day ·.v ith us, but we will do all we can to bring a bit of cheer to them wherever they may be. Our ·outside decorations will re· main in the attic or basement for another year and presents should be limited to 'useful and practical thin gs. Even with all these $tipulations, the "Christmas Spirit" will not be lost and that's what really counts. The hustie and bustle ot last minute shopping and the age-oldvows of "never again" are heard, although deep in our hearts we k now that we enjoy every last minute of it, and that these very scenes will repeated over and over a~ai!l for years to come.
A book of the life of one of the most important persons in the world tooay, the modern queen of England, Elizabeth, is in the library now. El.i:i:abeth and Countess Strat hmore of Scotland. At the beginning of the first World war Elizabeth waa celebrating her foutreenth birthday at a play. She recalla in this booJ,c, "Elizabeth, Engljl.lld's Modern Queen," the feeling of desoh,i.tion 1.ipon being cut loose f rom st rong, secure and unchanging things. When very young she had t hought she would like to be good enou~h to be a princess and it wa~ whilt:: s.h e was caring for soldiers, brought to her home, that she reatized that true royalt y came from the heart. ;l'rriss cw11elia Spencer, author of t}).e heok, has told in her book, stories ()f the first meeting of the Queep a.lid Albert, he, bashful and she eating cake. In t elling of the background of both the King an(l Queen Miss Spencer has made both human · beings to all. She tells of Elizabeth's dis· like of having her children 110 worshipped by Englanders. She wanted them to grow up as much• like , others as possible and is doing all she can to teach both g irls the importance of being individuals~
Duchess Grows Up All the g ifts were opened, but the spirit still lived on. E veryone was merry, when we d is· covered mother gone. She soon appeared in the doorn·ay; Dad began to grin. A box was in her arms. Now just ' what was within ? · My brother scurried 'toward it; I cut the big red bow. We lifted the lid t ogether; a little black form did show. It was a little black cock er, as · cute as one could be. She jumped .from the big blue box and pranced over to me. We decided t o call her "Duchess," that title fitted best. She walks around between our feet, and sticks out her tiny chest. She was quite a proud lit tle d og· gie, even tho' she was so small. And when someone slipped and stepped on her, she'd go sit down and bawl. It's been almost two years now, since I received my Christmas gift. Duchess can run much faster; in fact she's pretty swift. Now she Is a beauty. Her hair is soft and long, And like every little doggie, she's alway11 doing wrong. All our family loves her and I'm almost sure she knows It. She barks and shows off a ll the time ; I n this way, she shows it. "Your tricks· will get you in trouble," we try to pound in her dome, But she goes ahead and bites big dogs and then runs like mad for home. On December twenty-fifth Duchess will be two.
I'.m sure we won 't sell Duch ess . Our house would be too still, We'd miss her playing at our feet and dodging with great skill. I'd miss the little wrestles and brawls that we would have On t he living room carpet; she'd bark and I'd just laugh. Art Parchen.

Basketball Rivals to Meet After Christmas Vacation Cagers Entertain Hasting's Tigers Here January 8 Links Travel to Omaha Tech On January 9
Central and Islanders Fall Before Lincoln; McArthur Runs Wild Links Topple Islanders In 36-14 Thriller
Basketball Tea111 Are Yule Gifts "'Twas the night before Christ-
Without a game in 20 days, the Links will be put to the acid test by gracing the maples two nights in a row, beginning with the encounter with the Hastings Tigers at Irving gymnasium January 8. This should prove to be on e of the best games on the home calendar. The Red and Black will hit the road the following day to tackle its s econd Gate City rival, Omaha Tech. This is a lso a Missouri Valley conference game. The one scheduled encounter with Omaha South on the Packer hardwoods on January 2, has been postponed to a later date because a majority of the South team have jobs during vacation and would be unable to play. Thus, a few changes in the Links schedule have been made and the games are to be played as follows: January 8 .. Hastings • .•.. here 9 .. Omaha Tech . • there January January 18 •.

Omaha Tech . . there February 16 .. Omaha So.... there February 20 .• Kearney .. .•. there February 26 .. Falls City .• • •. here Cagers this season will find a thriller January 8 between two well-prepared basketball teams. Leading the Links is Don McArthur who showed his talent· at the Grand Tuiand g u.m e. McArthur is a. veter all-sta t e center. Bobby Jacobsen forward, has the speed of super-man while . Dave Krcmarik, forward, is a r e bound expert. As guard, Dick Lodge is an ace goal def ender. Other guards are Rodney Cox, R a lph Leikam, Harold "Tap" J acobs J im Swanson and Ivan Evans. Forwards are Johnny Williams, Bob Heidenreich, Morris .Galter, Bruce Corrick and Wilbur Frazier. Prospects are brig ht at Hastings Coach Eldon Miller has chosen a squad of thirty-three to compose the two Tiger court squa ds. On the first squad are five senior l ettermen, Dale Livingston, H a rry Moore, George Cinney, Bob Moles, J erry Whelan, who ·a lso gave the Links a h ard battle last season when the final score found the I.J.nks victorious 25 to 24. The Tigers last season lost only the Lincoln game. Coach W eyand's s tate championship cag ers will def end their title once again Sa turday, January 9, against the Omaha T ech Maroons. To d ate, the Maroons have been none too successful in winning one gam e, while d roppin g three. The Tech cagers h ave d ef eated P lattsmouth 49-15, while dipping their colors to Creig hton Prep 27-25 in a thrilling ba ttle , Omaha South 26-18, and the Omaha North Vikings 28-24. Althoug h failing to win a g a me in g ate city competition, the M a roons will surely be v ictory hungry when they me et Lincoln high. Tech's probable starting lineup includes Mangemilli and McAdon at forwards , Olson at cent er, and a pair of flashy gua rds in Miller and Wittmer. Portrait Photography Shown.

mas" and so Santa Claus h anded out as Christmas presents, the basketball squad at the "pep" assembly, Friday, December 18. All bedecked in ribbons and Christmas decorations, the t eam members were introduced one by one by Reid DeVoe, as the fat jovial Santa. Coach Lyle Weyand told each basketballer's playing history. Reminding pupils that basketball games will be played at Irving this year was Coach Ralph Beechner, last speaker of the assembly. The assembly closed with "Sons of the Black and Red." Peppers and cheer leaders, Marilyn Houser, Bob Frary, and Joan Forney were on the stage with the basketball t eam.

Oh, well, maybe someday someone will b e so kind to put it up for the g irls who are anxiously waiting for the girls' swimming tournament to get under way.. Here's hoping tha t day will be soon. There's Still Time Left. Fifty girls came out for afterschool basketball which is held every Monday and Wednesday. Girls who have not yet signed up for basketball and· who wish to enter the tournament to ea rn an emblem or letter may s till join up in the girls gy,n masium some time before or on Monday, January 4, aft er Christmas vacation when the color teams will be chosen. Come One And All. Social dancing classes s tarted last Tuesday. More than forty five boys and girls came to the fir st meeting. Socia l dancing is taught by Miss Virginia Bischof, a student practice t each er from the University of N e braska. More girls and boys are invited to learn dancing. These classes are for beg inners only. What To Sell? The sales girls wh o sold candy a t the footba ll games a re wondering what they w ill sell at the basketball ga mes held at Irving gymnasium. With sugar rationing, there has b een a limit to candy bars. W e're all sure something will t ake the place of candy so y ou hungry cagers fans will have a little something to eat during the games. One-Two-Three-Four-Ha lt. Gymnasium clas ses are practicing on driiling and rig ht about face. According to .r eports, the· pupils are having a little difficulty with "rig ht about face" and "left about f ace." It won't he long now when the classes will be r egular amateur WAAC's.

The Colonel's advice to boys in school is to g et a good education in or der to become good soldiers. His son, Walter J. "Boots" Gardner, h as been in the navy one year. "Boots" wanted to join the army, but his father thought a va riety would be better. "Boots" has been on seven cruis ers in the Pacific, and h as been to Australia, the Solomon Islands and Hawaii.
An unpopula r but much heard of phrase around Lincoln high past w eek h as been "dropping the axe." With the first anci reserve teams both being cut, or having the axe dropped on them, so were the sophomore cagers decreased in number. After testing the ability of the sophomore basketeers, Coach M ax Pumphrey cut the "sophs" to 15 p layers. On the first team. Weston and Wible are a t forwards, Olmstead at center, and York and Esquivel at guards. On the second unit, Coach Pumphrey has O'Grady and Dunca n at forwards, Crawford at cent er. and Browne and McGehee a t guards. Rounding. out the squad are Gerlach, L eavitt, Butheris, Kelly a nd Srb. The Sophomores' first gam e will probably be a gainst College View r eserves the first week aft er Christmas vaca tion, a nd another game with Cathedral high school n ex t.
The Third City five couldn't stop McArthur, so Lincoln high went on to defeat the Islanders to the tune of 36-14 as "Mugs" rang the bell for 22 points. Sta rting out slowly the first quarter, the Red and Black cagers could claim only a 5-4 'quarter time lead. In the second quarter, the cage master, M cArthur dropped in 7 points ;i.s he a nd his mates held a 17-8 half time advantag e. Islanders Held Scorel ess. It was the Weyand boys ' tight defense that h eld the Grand Island five scoreless in the third canto, plus McArthur's power to add 9 more points to his growing tota l. In the fatirth .quart er, Coach Jerry Lee's cha rges unleashed a light attack when Rice, Todd anud Scofield each garnered a basket. This a ttack wasn't enough to match the 36 points scored by the Weyand clan so the Red and·Black added number two to its v ictory string. Scofield topped the loser 's scoring with 5 points, while N eitfeld and Jamson turned in a defensive game. Altho the Links were victorious in their first t wo st arts, they were r a gged in spots, but have until Janaury 6 to polish up for t hei!· next game with Hastings on the Irving m aples. The box:

The Links crushed Omaha Cen• tral, 37 to 21, in the season's basketball opener at Irving, Friday night. Dropping them in from all angles, the Links le d 9 to 4 at the qua r tei and 18 t o 7 at the half. Dick Lodge started the fire· works with the first points, but Omaha, in the form of Hefferman and Epperson, came back to give the E agles a short-lived lead, Paired nicely at guards were Lodge and Eager who blitzed the 'Central attacks. Don McArthur, who was held scoreless first period, added 4 points to the half time score.

They went to visit some herpetologists, whom the boys have been correspondin~ with for quite some time. "We were first taken to Nebraska City by my d ad, who was on his way to Iowa,'' said Dick . "He let us out on highway 75 and we had hardly waited 15 minutes when we werl! picked up by a man in a black. Ford, who took us as far as Topeka, Kansas. We received an ot her ride just outside of Topeka, t aking u s to Lawrence. We stayed ther e a few days, visit· ing Mr. Taylor , who is a famed, her.petologist.

THE ADVOCATE
True Meaning of Liberty Should Be A. ppreciated Do you appreciate liberty or do y-0u take it as a matter of course? Every one enjoys liberty and freedom and most people will fight for it, although some make it the last resort. There are many places of fighting .a war; ·. the fighting front, production front, political front, salvage campaigns, war bond sales and ni.any others. Everyone ha's his place : John Doe at the front with the infantry, Mrs. John .Doe mi the production line, John's brother in .c ivil service, John Doe, Jr. at the head of a salvage campaign and all buying bonds and atamps, too. . .Are you in your right spot~ Are you filling your position properly? These are several of more questions to ask yourself and then do something about it. Would you feel right seeing a family around a dinner table with one or more empty chairs which areri tt filled by a son, brother, husband, or some child's father, because you feel down on the job 1 Some people are asking what we are fighting· for. There are patriotic songs, poems, ;theaters and radio programs which picture these things, but they are just reminders of the everyday life privileges. In the United States we should understand our government •hd know what's going on. · From grade. school on up we .are taught the
meanfug of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness and we learn. to talk intelligently for or against politics, government laws, religiOn, prohibitions or anything we please, without fear o:f Storm Troopers or government interference. We know what's going on in the world, get an extensive amount of luxuries, .choose our professions, practice freedom of 'the press, speech, of religfon, yet there are ni.any more things we are defending. What ab6ut the grazing fields of Vermont, the .Brooklyn Dodgers, the tobacco plantations of 'the south blended with colored spiritual singers, the Texas Rangers, the Nebraska corn belt, California bathing beauties, or Rocky Mountain sun sets. Where in all existence has .any. natfon even dreamed of such things¥ Educational opportunities, progress and sacred holdings are shared by all in America and those who· travel around the globe have seen Americans in all .parts of the world le,ading civilization and bringing education, religion and an intercourse of culture to backward people who. never before had such ideals toward life. Today do these travelers see German, Italian or Japanese on missions of good will? No! -Their intentions are to enslave the world, but the common people of the world who stand .for equality and righteousness are fig'hting and dying every day for freedom and our very existence. These are just a few of the things we're fighting for. Find a good spot ·and get to work, making every sacl·ifice which may present it self to help win victory for all.

Leaders of The Future Will Gain, Not Lose, By Being Part of This World-Wide War "Boys are not losing an opportunity by getting into this war, but 11.re gaining from it," stated l\11. c. Lefler, sµperintendent ot schools. "These boys are going to know the Jap, the Chinaman, the people in Af.r;ica. and . they will . know geography as .no one .knews it. Thlise b9ys, the ones who return mentally and physically sound, are going to be our leaders · in the future." When asked to compare the training in Lincoln. high with that in Germany, Mr. Lefler replied, "This can't be compared but only contrasted. In Germany there is a master-mind· directing other hands, whiJ.e the workers mu11t not invent but obey. There, a citizen is pll.rt of a great m11.chine, and he is a slave to this master"'mind.

tion of people and supplies; Chemistry will be accelerated in many ways, and there will be experiments with plastic and rubber. We have learned a lot from this war and we are not going to for· get it." Lincoln schools have been affected greatly by the inarease and decrease of population in Lincoln, he stated. More families have been leaving than entering Lincoln because Lincoln has few war industries. The a ir base doesn't bring many families wit h children. Also many more boys are leaving high school before graduation, than formerly. Another change brought about by the war is the shifting of vocations; Altheugh the governmeµt has urged students to complete the vocation they have started, there is sti\j much shifting around. The;.e are no plans at present for adding to the curriculum, but there will be more stress on several subjects, according to Mr. Lefler. Mathematics, South American ·1angu:i.ges, chemistry, and cours&s pertaining to physical fitness are some of those which will receive stress.

How About You?? Every year about this time we find pupils raking their minds day and night for New Year resolutions, which no doubt they will keep at least the first few months or maybe the whole year. Your snoopy reporter gathered a few of these · so called resolutions and after the work and toil putting them together, this is what· we now
have.

To the Editor: It is the opinion of some persons in Lincohi high school that the Peppers are the most exclusively snobbish group in the school, a nd that. the judges choo13e only their Tliis friends for membership. stateme11t is a falsehood, and was no doubt prompted by petty criticism. The judges are the officers of the club, and an equal or la rger number of teachers. They choose those girls for membership who, in t ry-outs show they are peppy, can cheer loudly, and can sing loudly. There is always close competition, and it is difficult for the judges to select girls for member· ship. However, since so ma.hy girls are eligible, the Peppers should enlarge their club. It is too s mall in proportion with the aize of the school. If the Peppers would erilarge their club, it would give mere g irls a chance to participate in their many a ctivities, and. the criticism would die down. How about it; Peppers? Suzanne Owen.

Hi! Ho! Now that we're back to the old routine, it's just about time for those exams that always seem to roll around this time of the year. Best we skip all whispers of New Year's Eve and turn to safer subjects. Miss Beekman received a globe of the world for Chdstmas. It has a very small light on the inside which for some reason did not work. When Bob Glenn, who offered to fix it, had all the parts strewn all over the table, Darwin Dahl suggested putting a 100 watt bulb ·in it. Brighter than ever Marilyn Houser piped up and said, "What do you want to do, set the world on fire?" Jo Ann Moyer had a date last weekend with Jim Ludwig, and seems to have had a very good time. Jo Ann, by the way, is wearing Gay Edling's football, and has been seeing a lot of Roger Martin lately. It s~ems that Margie Dillman had a dinner club at her house last Friday night and the· next day discovered her little sister had scarlet fever. Consequence: about thirteen people are quarantined. We hope you're all o. k. Good luck! to Chuck Woods who left last week for the Great Lakes Naval Training Station.

I invite you to ask about help we can give in assisting to quickly and surely find the place you want.
Giibert Iker, commonly k nown as Gil, who has attended Lincoln high school since the middle of October , has been leading a some· what unsettled and interesting life in the past two years. Gil's father, who is Major Iker, now in the personnel department at the Air Base, has been transferred from one city to another a great deal during these last two years. The family first moved from Detroit, Michigan, where Gil was born and where the Ikers hope to return a f ter the war, to an Air Base near St. Louis, Missouri, from there to Long Island, then to Kansas City, Missouri, and finally to Lincoln. "I was surprised at how clean the city was and how beautiful the buildings were when I arrived in Lincoln," stated Gil. "l also like the wideness of the streets and the good spacing of the houses, because in Detroit and some of the other large cities the
houses are close· together a nd the streets nari·ow and dirty," he added. Gil played some football while in Kansas City and also played hockey when he was home in Detroit. "The Lincoln. high teams seem to win easier and by h igher scores than some of the teams of other schools that I have attended," said Gil. "I guess you have a larger number to pick from f or your players and also you have fine coaches." "One of my hobbies is drawing pictures and cartoons," stated Gil, and "while in Kansas City I was admitted int o the national art honor society by submitting t en pieces of art work. Art h as been my hobby for a num ber· of years now and I enjoy it very m uch;" he finished. Gil has also- played a trombone in some of the s chool bands.

Tiger Quintet Falls; M'Arthur Gets 20 Points
Red And Black Win 4th Game By 33-25 Score
The Links breezed by the Hastings Tigers Frida y eveni~g on the Irving Maples 33-23 to remain the king pin in the prep circles . Led by Don MacArthur with 20 pomt.s, the Red and Black took an ea r ly lead and never f ell behind through· out the contest. The Capital City lads fell down
a little on their def ensiv e game in the last three quarters, holding the Tigers to a scant one point in the first stanza. The Tigers came back in the second and third quar~ ters, almost matching basket f ot basket. Tne Has tings quintet went without a field goal for the first thirteen minutes, but Livingston finally broke the ice with a setup. Of the 20 points MacArthur got, more than half of them came in .the first quarter. The second canto found Hastings taking on offensive power with Underhill and Whalen c a rrying most of the load .. The third quarter MacArthur dusted the net ' for five points while Lodge and Krcmarik added two points apiece to the winning column. Duncan, Underhill and Livingston each grabbed a field goal apiece and Duncan also netted a gratis to end the third frame 32 to 21. The . last. quarter was slightly weak on the scoring end, with Lincoln getting only one gra tis via MacArthur, while Un d e r h i 11 dropped in the only points for Hastings, a lone field goal. The .Hastings five was led by Livingston and Underhill who t a llied 8 and 6 respectively while Pinney and Duncan turned a good floor game. The Links points were pretty well divided with the exception of MacArthur who tallied. 20 points. Eager, Lodge and Jacobsen sparked to team by doing some fancy ball handling·.

Four New Students Enter Lincoln High Pennsylvania and Nebraska have been the sources from which stu· ·(lents have recently entered Lincoln high. Gerald Wilson, llB, has entered from Carlisle, Pennsylvania high school; Jack Crel· Jin, lOB, from Coleridge, Nebraska, high school; Donald Louden, llB, from Hastings, Nebraska, and Robert Winke, llB, from Stanton, Nebraska. Robert Wink~'s fat!1er is the new supreme court judge.
By Bruce Corrick. A t eam who is grabbing a share of the spotlight in prep basketball circles , is Omaha Bens on, w ho is . undefea ted to date. The Bunnies have won four games to da t e. Last week all· the pupils seek· ing entrance in the pre-induction ' course took physical examinations. Each boy was required to have an A or B rati·ng so that he could stand the rigid activity given in the course. Eddie Smith, who left Lincoln high in mid-semester to move to Compton, California, has done well on the Compton high school basketba ll team. In the first cage contest, Eddie rang the bell for 14 points while breaking two fingers. (Some record for one game.) John Potts, high scori·ng Omaha Central cage star, has joined the Navy. . This may seriously effect the Eagles scoring punch. At the Hastings game, p erhaps some Lincoln students noticed Bernard Allsman, substitute guard for the Tigers, who sank two free throws ag a inst the Red and Black cagers. "Bernie" is a former Lin· coln high school student, who, as ·a sophomore, was a member of Coach Joe Toman's reserves. Previous to his enrollment at Lincoln high, ·he was a member of Coach Jug Brown's Falls City basketball tea m. If you should see some boys shooting baskets and it looks as if they forget the backboai;d it's only one of the sports classes playing Goal-Hi, a new game which the navy has r ecommended that the schools play.

third
quarter
strdong, the Weyand men, led by Lodge, Jacobsen and Krcmariw, rolled to a 31-15 advantage at quarter's end. Guard Olson's free throw was the only tally the Ma· roons could get from the torrid Links offense and tight defense. Claiming the fourth quarter as their own, the Tech round-ballers were able to slip past the Links for only 10 points which fell short of the victory margin. · Valuable in the Links third quarter drive was David "The Red" Krcmarik, who sported a total of 10 points before the final gun barked. Perhaps it was · the new red suits that made the Links so t orrid in their second half uprising, but at any rate Red and Black cagers were successful in racking up their fourth consecutive vie· tory of the season. High point man for the Maroone was Miller, who garnered six points for the Omaha Tech clan. Next week the Links will be out for their fifth and sixth c onsec utive victories when they travel to Sioux City to take on the East and Centr_a l high schools of that city.

Donna first learned to ·play golf about a year ago when a friend taught her, and had pla y ed only two or thre e times before entering the tournament. She won firs t place last yea r, and again this year. When asked if she had any favorite irons, Donna replied, "I like the 2 and the 5 irons out on the course. On a smaller course I prefer the spoon or the brace to start w ith, or the ct·l'lver on a regular sized course." Altho she really doesn't have any favorite sport, she likes tennis and golf p erhaps the best. She learned to play t ennis from playing with · other people and from

Col. Gardner Speaks Highly of the Corps Victory
Of Senior Class
aity of Nebraska. Lt. Colonel Gardner stressed that a nation can't win a war without its youth. He thinks the Victory Corps gives' the youth of America a chance to do its part. "It lays great stress on physical fitness, and service to your community. The older people had to leave their community to go to war, or back to the farm. Another angle is education, youth r eceives education and in return for this education, give service to your country," he stated. His advice to the boys . who worry about joining up with t he armed forces is to get their feet on the ground, and their noses in those books. He suggested for the b()ys to enroll in phvsie ~• . "nj !!d ·a'i much rnalhematics as possible, because this is the kind of in· telligence the army needs. The army is sold on the idea of education, it is the biggest educational institution. "The axis invited us to war; they are going to get it. I have tremendous faith in the youth of America," said Lt. Colonel Gard· ner.
Many More Members Wanted. That the Victory Corps memb ers would.have much to do in the future, was m ade clear by H. C. Mardis., at the first Victory Corps meeting, January 14. Pupils are urged to complete their application for membership. Mr. Mardis stated~ "The ' :orps is primarily concerned with preparing for physical fitness, but there would be muc h to keep them busy in the future." Almost every home room is represented in the Victory Corps. One of the purposes of the meeting was to elect a head of each div ision. This was done under the sponsorship of Miss Mildred Kemp. Those elected w er e : Bill Reinhardt-Land; Marie Bowman -Community; Helen ChowinsBasic ; Frank Loeffel-Sea; Wesley Jesperson-Production; James Liggett-Air.

Knowledge of· Policies Prompts Less Questioning
EINSTEIN ANGLEDOME
By Hobart Hays
Do only writers' club members get to work on the Links? Are the Peppers prejudiced 1 These are questions asked by pupils who have heard just such r eports. If inquiries are made, perhaps it will be proved that the students who complain and do the "squawking" really know vel'y little about it. No one denies that the Peppers are a p eppy nnd energetic gTonp, but some people might say that "graduates from a certain junior hig·h run the club, that these ar e p1·actically the only ones who get in-and then they b~comc the judges, and just vote for their friends.'' Whereas the truth of the matter is that teachers and pupils alike vote for the members. Not all the student judges come from one echool. Many timel': girls from other schools do not even try out because they think they haven 't a chance. Students from some schools ·seem naturally to participate in more activities than those from other schools. Probably the tnain reason that the majority of club members are from one school is that more of them a ctually try out. The members are limited, and the judges take the best. Links board members are chosen for their scholarship and citizenship, although past writing experience helps a great deal, too. It isn't necessary to belong to any other gtrmp to Nrticipate in this work. If more students knew the tryout pi·or.edure the constitutions of activities, pet·haps. th~ir comments and criticisms coul<l be avoided.
High School Students Have Greatest Responsibilities This past year has been one o.f. many changes. The whole world has been and be for some time affected by the war whieh has come upon us. America thought at first that it wouldn't be drawn into the fracas ; everyone wanted peace in this cpuntry and wanted this democracy to be all it stands for, but we were taken by surprise. On Deeember 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was bombed-a day no Americans can forget. War was declared and America was involved. Since then, day after day, month after nionth, the war has be.en raging. Germany advances on Stalingrad; t he Prussians push on; a struggle at the Solomon Islands ; bombs fall over 'fokyo; and throug·h it all, many are killed and injured; many Americans have lost

.We back home are on our own battlefront· -keepmg· . , factories going, sacrificing and cutting down on many things, with prospects of food, clothing, and gasoline rationed, and all trcie Americans arc buying Vvar Stamps and Bonds. . High school pupils are in there pitching with all the r est. Scheduies have been changed; with the extra burdens, many stu°:ents ~ave taken on extra •Yat work or part tnne Jobs; boys are taking pre-induction courses; many volunteer ed eagerly to become messengers ; and still now with the Victory C?rps being organized in our high schools, high school pupils have another chan<Je to :volunteer for another step towards victory. The New Year is going to hold many Sill'· prises for us and also ruany joys and soi'I'ows, but much of what happens is going to depend greatly on us. Hig·h sehool ag'e boys and girls are taking the places of adults. We t oo are going· to be in there fighting now, both on the battlefront and here at home. \\Te are the ones that will have to help in winning the war 8.nd achieving victory . We are t he ones to be train ed now, and to do the work, take on the responsibilities, and to pr eserve our democracy, which we struggled for before and won so we are going to struggle for it again and keep it. And we are the ones. who after the war, will carry on, who will bui'id the world all over again into p eace loving countries. So the New Year is going to be a. test for us, and a very hard one, but it won 't be so hal'd, if We remember that we 're all Americans, and do ou:r level best to prove it.

Former Newspaper Editor Tells Experiences In Navy In Talking With Advocate Reporter
For an amusing and interesting story of Chinatown, everyone should read "Shake Hands with the Dragon" by Carl Glick. In. this book, Carl Glick tells what he learned of the peaceful, funlciving, courteous people, the Chinese, who live so quietly among us, finding endless amusement and contentment in everyday commonplace occurrences. Here is a st ory that tells wh at goes on behind the closed doors of Chinatown-scenes of the Chinatown the casual vis· itor never sees. Carl Glick, by a :iet of curious chances, was appointed athletic director of a Chinatown boy's club. He admits Ile is as unathIeti.c as they come. He wasn't able' to t each the boys much that summer, but he proved himself a willing pupil and they t aught him a grea t deal and all became firm friends. The author has come to know the people of this story intimately. There is little Quan-Ling; gentle Mr. Wu, who offered to g o to jail for his son's truancy; Ah-Pau, the grandmother, who seldom left her apartment, and yet one night h a d a fling. Perhaps you t hink the Chinese a sinisterpeople and Chinatown a pla ce where no man should venture on a dark night. Have you considered the fact that juvenile delinquency is practically unknown 2.U'iot ,g· the cn~~~sc rn.

"Cops" everywhere c.onsider Chixw.~ town the safest b eat they can make. In this book Carl Glick tells why. Of course~, they d·~ have their hakhmen and the author also t ells about them. Perhaps the Chinese · aren't so sinister a.s we supp osed, They have some amusing stories to t ell and some valuable lessons t o teach. "Shake Hands with the Dragon" will appeal to everyone.

GOBS AND GOBS "Bell bottom trousers and coats of navy blue," he was singing when the reporter walked up and t apped him on the shoulder and said, "Hi, sailor, I'm a reporter from the Advocate at Lincoln high school, and I would like very much to inter'.'iew you for a story.'' "That's 0. K. Wifo me Miss,'' h e said, "Just what would you. like to know?" I This is what one of Uncle Sam's sailors had to tell: "I was a newspaper editor of a small town country paper before I entered the Navy. I enlisted in Jam.1ary and tJiey gave me 30 days to g et my business straightened out before I h ad tc leave. "Enlistments were closed for printers so I went irt as a Seaman Second Class for anything they h a d open. I was sent to Great Lakes, Illinois, naval training st~ tion for my recruit or 'boot.' training. Now there's a place for you girls if you want to see gobs a nd gobs of 'Gobs'. "Aft e r completing five weeks of 'Boots' I was sent home for 21 d ays on delayed orders. That's something every sailor hopes for. My next move was to a machinist trad e school in North Dakota. There I was taught to operate a steel turning lathe, a milling machine, a drill press and shaper . They also taught me how to do arc and acetylene welding, how to repair pumps, steam engines,
gas engines, frigidaires and high pressure valves, along with ' blue print drawing and reading and machine mathematics. I got a very good idea of how the mechanism of a ship worked from that school. "I was graduated with a rating of Fireman second class and shipped to diesel school in Detroit, Michigan. There I was taught to repair all parts of a Gray-Marine diesel engine, and for the first time I found out I was in the amphibious force. I was also taught how to operate landing boats in which these diesel engines operate. "My next move was to Ncrfolk, ·viTginia, ,,vhere I arr.. n<nv .sta tioned. The funny part about the whole thing is that after going to those two schools and studying t o be a, motor ·machinist I am now a yeoman ootrespondent for the executiye officer and the captain at the base. That's what I like about the Navy,,-you never know where yiJU'll be or what you'll be doing. Of course that':; true in any branch of the service. "As for my social life .in the Navy, we won't go into that v ery strong 'cause I'd be telling t a les out of school, but 1 do want to mention the fact that the civilians throughout the country are very They nice to all service men. always have something for them to do wherever they a re. "The reason I picked the Navy for my bra nch of the service is that, in nly opinion, it is the

Tb~y m ay g et awa y w ith it and condu ct tor some time. "Some of them can 't even r ead a score.

decidedly amiss." When asked if the American people appreciat e good music as much as the people of Europe, h e quickly replied, "Yes, if it is dor ·' well. I f it is done badly, nobody could like it." In Europe, the stan<! the gov ernment takes in r ela tion to m usic is much dif'erent In Europe music ho lds the p osition of being the finest of all fine arts. All orchestras a nd orchestra members are paid by the g overnment. ·Jn the United States a p erson m a y hang a sign · outside his door saying "Pia no Lessons" and t hen go right ahead and teach piano, while in Europe before a person is a llow ed to teach h e must have a good music e ducation, h e mus t show that h e is capable, and then h e must pass a test drawn up and g iven by t h e sta te. Mr. P en sis pointed out some places where h e thinks our cu rr ent s ys t em of public school music could be improved. In Europe, h e says, if on e majors in music mos t of the subjects are directly related ,t o music. There is mathematics of course, and quite a bit of foreign language, but in addition subjects s uch as harmony and counterpoint. This is not true of mos t public s chools in the United St ates. :j:n short, h e says that our music education should begin e arlier and be more inten se. Swing fans may be interested to know that Europeans a re j u ;.;t as jive conscious and just as rabirlswing fans as our "'z!. school "hepcats." Mr. Pens1,; said very enthusiastic ally on this subject, "Jazz can be an art. I like it very much if it is well done but I couldn't listen to a w hole evening of it.

What Do You Prefer??? One of the m-a-n-y questions that runs through a girl's mind is, "Why do boys prefer blondes?" Or do they? ? ? Your snoopy reporter has again taken a pad and pencil and has jotted a f ew of the idea..~ the boys have on this subject. Bob Schuckman-'"I prefer blondes; they make a good light in a blackout. Dick Bogan "Brunettes; they're the fastest talkers." Morris Gaiter - "I · prefer brunettes; wait till Harriet sees this." Eugene Nuss- "Read-heads, they're dynamite." John McKay- "! want mine bald because I'm heading in that direction." Bob Bruns-"Blondes, because they have such pretty smiles." Jim Schrepel "I prefer· hrunett.ea. t.ru;,y hll.ll'" mor4 3ense." Bob Hoadley-"Brunettes because they can wear that dark lips tick." Leo Osterm iller - "Blondes, of course; they're m ore fun." Wallace Munro--"! love 'em all!'.' Mickey McDermott-"! pre. fer blondes mainly because Sally O'Shea is one:'" Harry Fox- "Brunettes a nd brownettes because they appea l to me much more." Huck Egger- "Brunettes, not. blondes, b ecause blondes have always brought me bad luck."
Open Forum To the Editor : I w a nt to answer all those p eople who ask, "Why don't we h ave ,><.>Jn" new school songs and yells?" For the last two years the Peppers have sponsored contests tor new songs and yells. Did we get any ? V ery few! How's that for school spirit? Where were those people who don 't like the ones we use ? A lso we ha ve been criticized for always opening our assemblies with the same song. Are you sick of the nationa l a nthem, too ? The songs we use are to show school loyalty, just as the national anthem shows love for your country. I disagree with the writer who wrote that t h e student body had no pep because they had sung the same songs a nd yelled the same yells so often . The Pepper s have check ed w ith large schools in dif ferent parts of the country to find out how those schools m a nage their rallies, assemblies and p ep sect ions. All those sch ools concentrate on a f ew good songs and yells. S mall town high schools use the long drawn out insign ificant son gs a nd yells- with lot s of them. Three or four good yells and son gs can do much more to identify a school during any s ort of event than a lot of boo-la! On the whole, we do usu ally h ave g ood respor.,,~ · ·crown , .., pep assemblies. However, many come merely to be ent ertained- they don't seem to realize t hat h a lf the s uccess of a good pep assembly depends on t he people out in front. How about a little action out there,too? · Anytime anyone h as a n ew song or y ell to submit, t he Pepp ers w ill be glad to u se it if it's at all s uitable. Sally White.

Dance Party
Will Be Held January 27 Floorshow by College View Girl Reserves and Hi-Y members will have a chance to dance to the strains of soft music played by popular dance bands and square dance to lively music at an intercity dance which will be held Jan. 27, in the Green room at the Y.M.C.A. at 8:00 p. m. All Girl Reserves and Hi-Y members are invited to attend and any Girl Reserve may. invite a boy who is not a Hi-Y member and vice versa. The dance is also open to all members of Girl Reserves and Hi-Y who are graduates from high school. One of the high spots of the evening is to be a floor show put on by Teachers College high who are also responsible for arrangements for square dancing. Refreshments are to be handled by College View high; Northeast will provide ticket collectors. Lincoln high is to have charge of the coat checking room while the new records which are to be added to the Girl Reserves record collection will be purchased by Merrell Shutt. It was decided at the last interclub council meeting that $3.50 would be taken from the dance profits and given to the Girl Reserve and Hi-Y funds alternately each month.
January 11 to 15 Has 80 Tardinesses Home room 207 had the greatest number of cases of tardiness with eight last week. 'However the cases of tardiness for the whole school was extremely low; there were only 80 for all of last week. The 27 home rooms with prompt pennants are 102, 103, 107, 117, 120, 126A, 132B, 135, 137, 139, 141, 200, 203, 204, 209, 215, 216, 217, 221, 305, 307, 313, 315, 320, 325, 326 and 402. Machine shop training will be offered to girls next semester at Hamilton high school, Hamilton, Ohio. Two hours are to be spent each day in the machine shop. Students enrolling in this course are required to drop at least one subject although they must continue a minimum of two regular subjects.

THE ADVOCATE
Don Sutherland President of Hi-Y Don Sutherland was elected president of the organization at ·a Hi-Y meeting Tuesday, January 12. Other officers elected are Melvin Beveridge, Chester Nielson, Robert Blish, Kenneth Rivett, Ralph Wells, Bill George and Waldo Hansen. The positions of the other officers will be decided on at a cabinet meeting later. Judge Bayard H. Paine was the principal speaker. The topic of Judge Paine's address was "What Does 1943 Hold in Store For Us?" "1943 is the· bitterest year this world has ever known," he said, basing his statement on the predictions of well-known news commentators. One of the many interesting predictions he cited was that of Babson who says at the end of '43 the American people will be livin~ at a level much lower than at present, but they will like it. "However," Judge Paine continued, "None of these predictions should ~e accepted 100 percent." He closed his speech with his views concerning the political side of the United States government,

Play Parallels Two Republics Pupils Studying Cice1·0 Hear Comparison of Old Rome and U.S. Opportunities for making comparisons between the Roman and American government and political institutions were presented in a Cicero class, which has been studying the orations against Cataline. In the case of the conspiracy there was the question whether the conspirators should come under protection of the Sempronian Law which gave the citizens a trial before the people, but always it was argued that these conspirators were no longer citizens. The Senate which according to law had no right to try them, nevertheless voted to put them to death. As Consul, it wis Cicero's duty to execute the order which reacted sadly u pon him later. A radio script, recently published, was read when the class completed the orations. This p ictured different phases of life in the republic and in closing, the narrator drew some conclusions particularly in connection with the execution of the conspirators in which he made some comparisons of our republic with that of Rome. He said, "To make a comparison of our r epubfic with the one of Rome requires a deal of stretching. But there is a common note, the idea of the citizen, t he free citizen and t he responsible citizm: A constitution is not a nation. Without good citizens willing to support it, it is a scrap of paper. The lack of good citizens made Cicero f ear, and in his fear break the constitution. "There were too many poor willing to sell their freedom for bread, too many rich willing rather to lose their freedom than lose their villas by the sea. "Our nation has survived because its citizens have valued their liberty more than their lives. It will survive as long as the citizen~ so value their freedom. "\Vhen that time shall have passed, an executive like Lincoln, an army of Washington's will not save it. "May God in His mercy keep that t ime fr<>m us. "Our trust is in Him and in the citizens of the United States." This script, "Death of a Democracy," was written by Edwin Cuffe of the B rooklyn Prep ,5chool.
Variety Program Is Last Meeting
Mary Rich, 11-A, is a new student of Lincoln high coming from Portland, Oregon. She attended Grant high school in Portland, which has an enrollment of 3,000 pupils. "The school," said Mary, "is of colonial style surrounded by a beautiful park." The park has a swimming pool in it which is used by the gymnasium classes. Mary's father, Major Rich, is commanding officer of the signal corps at the Air Base. Originally from Texas, Mary said that she liked the swishine here because it rained most of the time in Portland and sunshine reminded her of Texas.
A variety program concluded the Clef club meetings for this semester. Those participating were Verla Bibbs, Nancy Pierson a nd Virgina Reider who each sang a solo. Playing p iano solos were Mary Guest, Bill Hancock, Arlene Peterson and Georgann Wythers. T he club decided that the first meeting of next semester will be an open meeting to applicants for try-outs. As it is the month of Lincoln's birthday, patriotic music will compose the program. The nominating committee for next semester 's .officers are Mary Dye, Mary Guest and Joan Saunders.

Links Triumph at Sioux City, Lead Missouri Valley Reserves Fall Little Maroons Snapped To Cathedral 40-18; Lincoln Rambles By East Cagers 40-16
_.,,I
l(rcmarik, Jacobsen Are Stars The Lincoln high quintet in a fray Friday night with Sioux City Central brought home a decisive victory of 40-18. The undefeated R ed and Black five chalked up its fifth win of the season and its third Missouri Valley conference triumph. Don McArthur, sky-scraper p ivot man, started the assault by bagging a field goal, but Crahan's two gratis flips tide the count at two all. Bristow gave the Iow ans a four to two lead by adding a pair of gift shots. Bobby Jacobsen knotted the count by adding two points. Don McArthur gave the capital city boys a one-point lead by adding a gratis. After grabbing the lead they never fell behind. The first canto ended at five all. The Links hit them from every angle in the second period which terminated at 18-10. Jabobsen and Krcmarik played a brilila nt floor game in the second half. They fed McArthur with an overhead pass attack that tallied many times for the Links. Weyand's basketeers played one of the most outstanding g ames of the season, u s ing a m an to man defense. The Lincoln high fiv e was led by McArthur with 13 points while Jacobsen and Krcmarik bagged a 8 apiece. Crahan and Bristow were the b est for the Sioux Cityans with six points each. This marks the fourth setback of the season for the little Maroons.

Although it may seem unpatriotic to do a lot of traveling, many schools would miss the money that is earned from these contests to buy athletic equipment so that the s t udents can keep fit. Some high schools throughout the country have already abandoned competitive athle tics, although most of the schools are carrying on as far as traveling will permit. In some small Nebraska higilt school M.A.L. coaches h ave been drafted, a nd the pla yers are ca rrying on minus a m entor. Prospects for the Missouri Valley cage championship are g ood for the Lincoln high cagers. Coach W eyand's firs t place team n ow holds four conference victories and no defeats, while second pla ce Abraham Lincoln high has lost one game.

Joy NightThemeAnnounced Scene To Be Miss Ethel Beattie Where Do WeGoFromHere?L.H.S. Offers Resignation :::::::,:~~d~.~:,!1:u:.:.V~~~"~~~:~~: BigNew Yori< Steamer Pier Try-Outs Start Next Semester A busy New York pier, milling with famous people, at which a steamer lies waiting to cast off anchor for war-time England, will be the theme for Joy Night, annual Lincoln high variety show presented on March 18, 19, and 20, it was announced by the student council.
Try-outs will be
held on February 17 and 18 in the auditorium. At the beginning of next semester application blanks may be secured from home room teachers · or from Miss Helen Dunlap in 305. The Joy Night committee is pleased with this theme because of the variety it suggests. The pier will be filled with famous celebrities and comedians ready to sail for England to give entertainment for our soldiers stationed there. It also lines up with the prevalent partriotic note. Last year was a USO center, in '41 the scenes took place in a South American atmosphere, while in '40 the Lincoln high auditorium was converted into a dude ranch near the Mexica n border; '39 took spectators to the Latin quarter of Paris, Hawaii was host to Joy Night acts of '38, and clear back in '37 the theme was a scenic Swiss inn. Sophomores, as well as juniors and seniors, should arrange acts for try-outs, because even though new to school, sophomore talent is there. Student council members explained to sophomore home rooms last Friday the way to arrange for acts. Each year sophomores are well represented i.n Joy Nights acts. Sporn;or;; .fo1· all acts should be found immediately. The Joy Night committee is made up of Tom Green, Ann Abel, Frank Loeffel, Leslie Metheny, John Wells, Miss Emma Beekmann, Miss Helen Dunlap, C. E. Evans, Miss Elizabeth Grone, and Miss Marguerite Gundermann.
Give Furniture, Games To Effort Woodwork classes, under the direction of C. E. Evans, have been making games and furniture to be contributed to the war effort. They have made small tables, floor lamps, table lamps, smoking stands, book wagons, flag staffs, holders, games such as bean bag. games and ping pong tables, and air planes. So fat: they have completed 20 tables, 10 floor lamps, 10 table lamps, 10 smoking stands, 10 book wagons, 12 bean bag games and 1 ping pong table.
Miss Ethel B. Beattie, a member of the Lincoln school system since 1906, and Latin t eacher since 1909, has offered her r esignation which will become effective in June, 1943, it was announced at the meeting of the board of education January 19. "I have decided to cease teaching at the end of this school year. I am therefore sending this as my r esignation to take effect in June, 1943," stated Miss Beattie in the letter to · M. C. Lefler, superintendent. "I wish at the same time to express my appreciation of the courteous treatment and the consideration I have always received from you and the Lincoln board of education during all my years of teaching in Lincoln high school," she continued. The board expressed regret at losing Miss Beattie's services, in accepting her resignation and officially expressed appreciation for her long service.

Tom Green Elected As Student Conductor Tom Green was elect ed the new student conductor of the orchestra for the coming smester last Monday at the regular rehearsal. Chosen from three prospPctive candidates, he conducted "D ance Macabre" by Saint-Saens as his selection for try-out. The other candidates were Eugene Tedd and Wayne Swift. Eugene directed the first movement of Haydn's "London" symphony; Wayne followed him by leading the orchestra in "Dance Macabre."
From the Hi- Point of Vlc\v By Mildred Breuer. Alas, Poor Benito.... The last of the Afrika korps streaked out of Libya. The dream of an empire which was to surpass even that of Julius Caesar crumbled .t o dust. As a military man, as a statesman, as a strategist, especially as a Roman, Mussolini would probably cause Caesar to groan with shame. Il Duce lost an empire of a million square miles in 800 days-with Germany's help. The "desert fox" has run away, To fight again some other day. -perhaps with his comrades in Tunisia, if they'll have him after his little reversal. No Margin for Error ..• Problem in arithmetic: If the U. S. armed services h ave 10 million men in uniform in 1943, if it takes 15 people to f eed and clothe each serviceman. and if the population of the United States is only about 130 million-well, pity the poor souls that have to juggle the manpower problem! These figures come from Senator Bankhead. He believes farms and essential industries should not be drained of manpower for the · services. He says that maximum production is . more important, since China ancfRussia co~ld put a great deal more men ihto action if they could be fed and equipped. Decoy??? Not since Roosevelt's nomina-
tion of Hugo Black to the supreme court has there been such a hue and cry raised, such a throwing of .epithets, as over the appointment of Ed Flynn as minister to Australia. Not only republicans but democrats, too, were aroused. Senator Bridges, pointing to the senate chamber, told the president that when it became known there were to be further remarks made regarding Mr. Flynn, "a great majority of them (the senators) beat it to the cloakrooms." Perhaps the president is holding up the Flynn appointment, like. a hat on a stick, to draw Republican criticism to it and cut down the bombardment of lend-lease, and of Harry Hopltins. Just What He wanted. Hermann Goering had a birthday last week. He got another medal to add to his collection, from Hµngary. The military Beau Brummel of Germany, it seems, now has 17 medals to wear with his 50 different uniforms. Man y of the medals were "bestowed" upon him by the conquered countries. He also received an old Roman helmet from Milan. (He's not so dumb-it may come in handy!) "I wait for my intuition when I am in trouble," said Hitler. He is still waiting.

Throughout his sermon, the m inister u sed Abraham Lincoln'J life as an example of a w ar-torn lifet ime. "He lived du ring the worst k ind of war we can imagine, a civil war, where even fathers and sons fight against each o'ther due to a mere a ccident of domicile." Dr. Walcott called Lincoln a great human a nd stated that he was to use more like a big brother t han an overtowering statesman. "The elements of st r ength which America needs today fall under the headin g of a threefold faith: Faith in God; Faith in Man; and, Faith in a Great Cause," said the speaker who went on to enlarge 1 :..~d n t:;·

Inspiration Leads to Song About City; Ambition ls To Be Music Composer Don't you f eel a thrill of {lride As the flag g oes by, Don't you thrill w ay down inside 'Vhen y <>u see it fly ? D on't you love all its colors, T he red, w hite, and blue, And love a ll it stands for Liberty, and happiness too ? Don't you want to sin g a long "''h en the a nthem p lays • A n d know t hat you belong h ere T h rough a ll y our days? All that your f lag stan ds for I'm a sking you Don't you f eel a thrill of pride? I do! T hus go the w ords of a p a triotic s on g written by Annette J acobs, a junior . She has written another song about the city of Lin coln, and she has j ust completed h er t h ird composition . Th e t itle of it is "The Sly Little Man With The Great Big E a rs," a v er y s nappy tune a bou t sabotage , as t he t itle implies. Upon completing her t hird song. Annette said, "T he har des t th ing
about writing a song is to get a good t opic to w rite a bout." She has been working on this song ever since school sta rted, but got t he real inspiration just befor e Christmas vacat ion. Annette became interested in song writing in the ninth g r ade. She received an efficiency cr edit for w rit ing her first song. Says A nnette, "P atr iotic songs a re the only kind I ever hav e w r itten. As s oon as I get an ins pir a tion for a song, I j ust writ e it down." Although A nnette play s the piano, a nd composes s ongs, h er .ambition is t o have a writing ca reer. The young composer says it is easier · t o fit lyrics to music t h a n to fit m usic to words. She .is a member of the Or pheons, the girls g lee club, and in her sophomore year she was t r easurer of t he Clef club. To all those desirous of writing songs, An nette's advice is "J ust t ry to wr ite something; it's g ood experience, and if you get a good inspiration it's not very hard."
Culture Should Not Be Forgotten In Wartimes In a country. at war, there is an urgent need for scientists, mechanics and highly trained men in many specialized fields. To meet the ever increasing · demand for technicians, the schools of our country have introduced a program designed to encourage young students to take more shop mathematics; physics and cheniistry so they may prepare . themselves for better positions in the armed services. Consequently there has been a great swing froln the liberal arts to the · sciences, with little regard for the individual's interests. Strange as it may seem, the people 'vho are probably the most troubled are those in the relatively useless wartime activities, such as speech , dramatics, art and musk These people ai·e engaged in activities where knowledg·e of their work is received largely through constant use and experience; activities where adaptability is acquired over a period of many years, but may be lost in as little time as one year. The world of tomorrow will be affected by this war in many ways. But when the guns are silenced and the world settles back to its normal ways, music and the liberal arts will take a much higher place in the world which must follow the war. If they do'n 't, a very lopsided culture will exist which can't last :very long. So we should keep the fact in mind that we. are not only preparing for a war of today, lint also a peace of tomorrow. Pupils who have a leaning for science, take science and there will be an abundance of jobs for you after the war, but if you don't like science or mathematics, but are interested in some peacetime activity, don't change, because you may hav~ difficulty and after the war you will probably be unhappy.
Fatigue Hinders Work; Is Overcome By Health Do you ever suffer from productive curve? · Does the little gremlin fatigue bother you~ Not only factory workers, but students, housewives, office workers, truck drivers and others too numerous to mention are all alike victims of fatigue. Althol1gh some fatigue is normal result of 'physical activity and is harmless, it can become ve1'y harmful to one's health and then it comes to that point where it is injurious to the welfare of the individuaL Productive curve is one of the results of fatigue and studies of employers' records in various industries s.h ow that efficiency declines toward the latter part of the forenoon. After lunch it improves and then declines even more rapidly. When workers suffer from fatigue, production capacities are lowered and their morale is lowered in a like proportion. The result is that they are less attentive which is one of the p r imary causes of accidents in factories. From the student standpoint, the student who is not overtited maintains higher standards in school. Take for instance the pupil :who lets fatigue ove1·come him , is absent from school, is less attentive and sluggish in his school work. Fatigue jeopardi::i:es health and the iuost striking effects are irritability, nervousness, restlessness and insomnia. If we stop to think about it, having good health is one of the most important things in life. It was suggested several years ag·o that fatigue might be due to a decrease in carbohydrates. Our food we eat during the day should be easily digestable, as heavy food is conductive to sleep and we cannot work as efficiently. Therefore we should watch our diets carefully, drink plenty of water . and sleep at least eight hours a night. Rest, relaxation and recreation will help the student in ridding himself of the fatigue gremlin! Cultivate the art of living with yourself as you are and the world as it is!

Hi, people, here's that column again wliich is noted for telling tales (tales of woe, tattle t alcs, cat tales, and other tales- with de.tails) . 'l'his is the last t ime we 'll he w r iting this col umn, so guess it doesn't matter what's said (and that isn 't much! ) .

Vanishing American Phrases Are Frequent History is being changed in more ways than one, now. Students have always been taught that the vanishing American was our American Indian, but due to the shortage of material and rationing of products certain phrases of Americans are ·also vanishing and can be added tO the list. A few such phrases, which .already seem odd or peculiar to. high school students are listed below: "Fill 'er up!" "Two pairs of nylons, please." "I can get the car for tonight." "Let's make a. batch of fudge." "-and one sirloin steak, .p lease." "I wouldn't think of taking a girl for a date on a bus." "Ju.st bought a zoot suit with two pairs of pants, 100 percent wool, and three inch cuffs." "She had a darling new pair Of two-tone saddle shoes · with white rubber soles."
William Cochrane Publishes Paper For Chums .at War In November of 1942, after a month with little to keep him busy, William. Cochrane started his personalized paper to . school friends away from home. Bill was graduated from Lin· coin high in 1936. He was a second lieutenant in the Marine reserves and waiting his call for duty in Illinois. when he was stricken with poliomyolitis. Home in Lincoln now, he has been writing his paper to his friends, all of whom graduated f rom high school in 1936. Only two of the boys did l).Ot graduate from Lin· coin high; Bud Yoder attended this school but was graduated from Omaha Central and Tom Davies was a college friend of Bills. The 15 boys chummed together in school or have becoine acquainted since then, They are scattered in different places now, some in the navy, some in the Army Air Cop>s. some in the Army, and one in medical school in Washington. Bill calls the parents of the boys to get news that they may have and other .news comes from many sources. Nine girls that were in school at the same time and graduated in 1936 have a round robin letter that often contains infor· mation the boys would like. Betty Arme receives the letter and gives Bill some information material which he uses. The third paper of the · monthlies is in progress. Bill has received several letters from his pals telling how they like the paper. Working with papers seems to be right down Bill's line, as he was business manager of the Ad· vocate while in school. Bill drives his car, attends night Spanish class.es at the university and reads. a good deal, beside typing out the paper which goes to all corners of the globe.
Mickey Rooney S"-nds Clothes To Dick Polson An authographed picture of Mickey Rooney to Dick Polson is one of the many things that Dick has received from Mickey. Among the things he has received and wears occasionally are two shirts, two belts, two sweat· ers and two hats. It so happens that everything that has been sent to him is just the right size. "I like all of the things I have received ·and will take anything else that · is sent to me," Dick says. The reason for Dick's good fortune is that he is acquainted with Miss Morton, the overseer of Roney's house. Dick has known Miss Morton for many years. She has full charge of Roney's household and she looks after his wardrobe. Dick has a great time showing off the clothes and the picture that he has.
Quentin Allen, Former Staff Member, Now in Training at San Antonio, Texas Quentin Allen of the San An· tonio Aviation Cadet Center, a former Advocate staff member, wrote to Miss Belle Farman recently telling of his training in San Antonio, Texas. "Right now I am very busy at being a potential officer and g<mtleman. As yet I haven't started to fly but that wil! come in about nine weeks. There is a certain amount of grouncr school . that I
Richard Brown Is Instructor In Armored Division Lt. Richard A. Brown, a former student of Lincoln high school, graduated from officers training school January 9, at Fort Knox, Kentucky. He is now home on a ten day leave before going to Fort Benning, Georgia where he is assigned as an instructor in the Armored Division. When asked how he was chosen to attend this school, Dick replied, "Everyone has an equal chance. Upon entering the army, all men are given an I . Q. t est. If a man has a rating above 110 and has conducted himself well in the army, he is recommended by his officer." He also stated that not all candidates can get through the cotirse. About 60 per cent are out before· the term is finished. "It is no easy task to become an officer," he said. "It requires. hard work, lots of studying and rto foolishness. Several times I was discouraged with the whol e business." He said that the men were required to go out on all night hikes and then come back early in the morning and start working. "One night," he said, "we were taken out in a forest where it was snowing and had to make the best of it and find our own shel· t er. Another time we were taken miles a way from nowhere with not hing but a compass to find our ·way back. We had to march through streams and rivers." However, he said that it was wonderful training and if a man was ever going t o be a r eal man, the candidate training school could surely bring it out. "In three months," he said, "I have had a college education."
What Are You Doing To Win The War? In this series of articles, there has been brought to your attention the various groups and organizatio·ns that one can par· ticipate in, to help win the war in some way. In this last article-let's look at ourselves -you-what are you doing and what can you do to help win this war? At school, you don't necessaryily have to join a c !u ll to do your part. The main thina i.s to ·s ave ~"" ~v"'""·ve clothing, the food you eat and t111ngs around the home. "My clothing," you ask, "what can I do about it?" Just this: Did you know that next year there is a possibility . that your clothing is likely to be rationed just like sugar, coffee and gasoline are tod<1y. Do you think it is patriotic to give hard wear to your clothing now and then regret it when there is only a limited amount of clothing to be had in the days to come. Also about the home, save the tin cans. It really isn't as much trouble to take off the paper, cut the lids off and smash them, as you think it is. All those paper sacks you bring your lunch in are thrown away every day. They really add up if you stop to think about it. These are only a few the ways that come into your daily life that you push aside and try not to notice, thinking that there are major topics that must take your time and are the most important for winning this war. This is very true but a lot of the minor things go a big way in backing up your country too!
of
must get through," he stated. In t he course that Allen is taking, he studies code, navigation, meteorology, mathematics, and naval and air craft identification. "Pre-flight, which I am in, is r eally easy when it comes to studies. Only about one percent wash out. Those are the ones who can't learn. But the cadet officers make life hell for the underclassmen. They want to find out if you can take it or not. That is why they 'gig' if there is a hair out of place or a finger print in a soap dish. Things must be spotless," he explained. Next phase of training is primary. There the cadets are introduced to the air craft. In this training about 36 per cent wash out, not because they aren't able to fly, or because of studies, but because they can't fly the army way. In the army way, if they say a ninety degree turn, that is what is expected, not an eighty. nine or ninety-one degree. "And there is no horse play in the air. That might mean a G. D. O. (ground duty only) or even worse, court martial. "After primary it is kind of a breeze. Very few 'wash' from there on in. It is just a matter of time, training and then wings." Most of t he cadets are fresh from college ca,rnpuses of Minnesota to Alabama, New York to Nevada. "A few of them are married but mostly we are all free, white and twenty-one. Funny thing too, youth is rejected in every activity in life except the very important one of saving the world and d emocracy, due to inexperience and immaturity. "Only the young may die. But in this college for killing, we will at least have better than fifty· fifty chance with Whatever we are pitted against," he concludes.
Open Forum To the Editor: I would like to know whether or not there is any special law either for or against the wearing of slacks to school. At first it was understood that girls enrolled in first aid classes would be allowed to wear slacks. Now with this sub-zero weather, many girls have been wearing slacks t o protect their legs from the icy winds. Some teachers protest; but why? Women in war indwitries, working girls, and girls in other schools all over this nation wear slacks. They do it as a matter of r outine, and are not looked down upon, or pointed out indi· vidually. Again I ask; is there a Jaw ,-.~- cerning- t hP _ __ ... e; or slacks at ~~"uol? I think t his matter should be · settled among teachers and pupils alike, and soon. I propose that girls in Lincoln high should be allowed to wear slacks to school, for the duration. GERALDINE POSKA. Editor's Note : Miss Olivia Pound, adviser of girls, states that though there has never been any such law or regulation, Lincoln high tries to maintain a certain standard of dignity. The practice of wearing slacks would not be acceptable in a place of bu.siness down town and Lincoln high is a place of business. But if there is a good reason, there is no objection to wearing slacks. To the Editor: Last week you had a story on "Music With Food" in the cafeteria. How could one hear t he mu.sic with all the noise of everyone talking and dishes rattling? I myself, when I go to the cafet eria want to talk, but if everyone talked, t he music would be drowned out. How many persons do want music with their food ? Why not make a survey and find out? Music would be swell, if we could go into the gymnasium and dance, but we can't Also I understand that we should. save our broken records and give them to the salvage drive. MARY LOUISE GATCH.
War Does Not Draiv Teacher From Classroom Defense jobs and various other jobs pertaining to the war have tended to draw some Nebraska teachers away from their class· rooms. One war conscious teacher, Miss Beulah I. Hilblink, graduate of Lncoln high in 1936, in an article published recently, explained how she conscientiously left her t ea ching position to take a war jo):> in Washington, only to retm:n to teaching. In the article which appeared in the Nebraska Educational Journal, she stated that after arriving in Washingt on ~he happily thought, "Here is the place-the heart of the nation-where I can really do something to help things along." When leaving her classroom slie confidentially thought that she was leaving a job of niinor importance for one of more value to the nation. However, after working for four months for Uncle Sam the situation began to become clear to her after she received letters from various parts of tl1e state emphasizing the immediate need for teachers a nd then she realized that to help maintain a sound world after the war, we must have teachers in the schools. In conclusion she wrote, "If in the years of peace that follow this war I am asked, ''What did you contribute toward our victory? " I shall be glad and proud to answer, "I was a teacher."

Gifts Sent From Major
In England to Family Major Hayden D. Hughes, who is with the A.E.F. in England, has sent his family, including DeForrest H ughes, a junior in Lincoln high, two boxes filled with things he got in England. Included are bookends made out of bricks blown from the house of parliament during an air raid.

Percentage of Each Kind of Mark Disproves Pupil Complaint of Grades
Teachers Credit Union Will Meet
Some teachers never give marks of 1 while others do quite frequently, was the complaint recently in a lett er to the editor of the Open Forum of the Advocate. The writer was wondering why the school even has 1 marks, when one-half of the teachers do not give them. The answer is in the following chart of distribution of marks in Lincoln high of June, 1942, which shows the p ercentage of each kind of marks:
Annual meeting of the Lincoln teachers f ederal credit union, will be held, Thursday, January 28, at 4 :30 p. m . for every m ember of the Lincoln teachers association. It w ill be held at the Administration building in room 201. A special feature at t h e m eeting w ill be the door prize, in which one share in the Lincoln teachers federal credit union (value $5.00) w ill be given to a member of the Lincoln teachers association who holds the lucky number. T he program includes t he regular business meeting ; explanation of services available to every Lincoln teacher through h is credit union; declaration of dividend and awarding of the prize. Because of transportation, the meeting has been changed t o an afternoon meetin g for the traditional annual dinner.

Drawing Portraits, Hobby of Junior Girl
Seene at Sehool by
Leslie Metheny Hi! Ho! I want all of you kids to be good this vacation and even though you won't have any b ooks to study with, you ought to do something useful. I always do!! Ha! Ha! Joan Damewood has been wearing a crash bracelet which belongs to a little man named Smith. How 'bout dat? Flash! Seen at the T urnpike Friday last-Jo Steinbrecker and big Al Mulder - and Betty Heckenlively and Bud Wheeler - Jimmy McDermott and Sue L ancaster - B. J. Frankforter and Jim Deklotz.

Don Andrews seemed to think he was in the right meeting but after a while it dawned on him that a Pepper meeting WO.<; no place for a lone man. Pflor Donald! Have you ever seen Joyce Edwards' billfold? Take a gander one of these days. It's full of wonderful pictures! Um!! 'Wonder what happened between Betty Jean Dodd and Marvin Curtis! Could it be ~arvin Davis? Have you been hearing rumors about Alene Babich and Jerome Dosek? I have, but can anyone tell me anything definite?
Dona Osterlund, junior, has the hobby of drawing pictures of people. She uses a pencil which is between a crayon and . a colored pencil. It is oily which makes it easier. Dona likes to draw and says it just comes to her naturally. Many of her drawing~ are reproductions of other pictures. A favorite subject is her favorite movie star who is Rita Hayworth. She has a large scrap book of pictures of Rita and draV(S from those often.

Central Seventh Victim; Five Games on Deck By Bruce and Wally. De Hughes is recovering from the effects of a black eye. This is the way it happened (according to De). The scene is a church basketball game, the third period. "Bob Welch and I jumped up to take the ball off the backboard and Bob's elbow hit me in the eye. A few minutes later, Dwight Griswold threw a hard pass out of my reach and in trying to get it I stumbled and the ball hit me in the eye." But that isn't all. Later in the game, Waldon Bauer's hand hit De in the mouth and cut his tongue. His leg was scratched when he tried to intercept a pass. All the boys who wanted to try out for spring track met with Coach Ralph Beechner, Wednesday, January 13. According to . "Beech," Lincoln high will have many new men on the team as only four or five lettermen are returning. All boys trying out for football in the fall are wanted on the track team b ecause track is one of the necessities for football ability. Loren "Whitey" Colwell, a cager for the .Links reserves, suffered. a punctured ear drum during a recent game. He had played in every game this season. He will be out two weeks and may play again if his doctor consents. At the end of the semester many boys will be going into training for the army, navy and marines, but most of them will be in better condition then they would have been if Beechner hadn't started drilling and putting them into condition. There has been much improvement in marching and everything. The boys have even been going on hikes to Antelope and back to build up legs and lungs. L et's drill at home and be ready to drill the Axis when we get into the battle, is the theory of these ·b oys and their teachers.

Although there are still qiute a few, they are inostly minor and due to carelessness," says Mrs. Mary Mapes, school nurse. "These minor accidents are caused mostly from run, ning and throwing things in the halls." " One boy received a one inch cut over his eye, because of another running in the hall. The accident might have been avoided had the other person just stopped to think before he blundered." She went on to say, " Because of the shortage of doctors and nurses, students should be more cautious." "Also some accidents which appear minor to the student cost the parent much money which sometimes cannot be spared, " she concluded.
Bob Glenn Says Sztccess in Football Dzte to Coaches Bob Glenn, noted Lincoln high football back, January senior class president, and past president of the home room representatives, attributes his success on the football team to the coaches, and h is success. throughout the school to the fact that he was on the football t eam. "My most outstanding achievement," he stated, "was being on first string·; as football is my life· long ambition. :i: liked my junior year on the team best; because I had another year to look forward to." Bob worked up to his football ability by means of the "sand-lot method." A few boys with no natural football t a lent, would get together quite often, and play football. In this way, they would soon develop their talent. "When I w,restled in the Olympics, last year, it was my first real match, but my uncle taught me the fundamentals of the art before that, and every once in a while, some of us boys would have a "free for all." Bob's favorite subjects are home economics 8, and American history. "I liked being president of the home room representatives better than any other position in the school, because I had to get up before a large group· of students and ,sp€.ak. Then too, I had a lot of responsibility." After graduation, if he has any choice, Bob would like to get into either the air corps or the navy. When his work in the service is through, he is going to go out for professional football. He would like to be with either the Chicago Bears or the Green Bay Packers.

Swimming Meet Won By Junior
• F oes Seventh Win N ext F IVe For Weyand
Lincoln high baketeers r olled by the Omaha Central Eagles 36-23 Friday night, there, to rack up their seventh stright w in of the current season.
Rivals Tangle At Coliseum The Links will be one busy cage team during the next · two weeks, since five contests are on hand from Janµary 29 to February 9. H~ading the list are the Northeast Rockets, who have won seven games while .dropping a close one to the tall Norfolk quintet. N ext Friday, January 29, the Crete Cardinals will be host to the Red and Black cagers. The Cardinals' attack will be lead by Gene Valenta, a fast and shifty forward. Ot?er mainstays include Tonniges, Papik, Moravec and Franek. From past Crete-Lincoln games the Red and Black have learned to fear the Cardinals who have given them many a scare. Omaha South. The following night the Links will entertain Omaha So1,1th high. They can be sure to meet up with a strong defensive team. In intercity competition, the Packers have dropped three contests, while winning one. In Missouri Valley meetings, South has w on one game, while dropping two. Although Coach "Cornie" Collins' lads · appear weaker this year, they will be victory hungry and should cause trouble . for Coach Weyand's five. Leading shar p.shooters for the Packers are Kara~ batsos, Ewin and Madson. York. On Tuesday, February 2, the Links cagers travel to York to meeet the fast Dukes. Although the , Dukes are not so strong as last year's barnburners, the Links will be on a foreign floor. The lineup includes Moomey and ·Hylton at forwards, Buckeley at centeter, and Cooper and Speece at guards. Outstanding for the'York five is Hylton, a sharpshooter who should be hot on his own court. Beatrice. On Friday, 'F'ebruary 5, the Links will return home to entertain the Beatrice cagers. To date the Orangemen have not been impressive, but will be shooting for the R ed and Black's scalp. The probable starting lineup includes Walker and Witkovski at forwards, Roschewski at center, and Skow and Larson at guards. Northeast. Fourth meeting of Lincoln high and Northeast basket ball teams will b e Tuesday, February '9. It is Northeast's second year of basketball, and already the r ivalry between the two schools is one of the hottest in the state. The g ame will be played at the University coliseum to accommodate the large crowd that is expected to attend the contest. Last year in their annual season game, the Rockets topped the Links, 26-17, but in the r egional tournament, the Red and Black lads evened the count one-all. T he last encounter was in the finals of the state tournament, when Lincoln's state champions whipped the northside lads, 35-27. This year, Northeast has another "barn-burner," as shown by the way it ran wild before Norfolk cut its winning streak at six. straight. Cliff Squires, along with Dick Ward, Johnny Johnston and Joe Laub are the Rockets' mainstays, while Al Kirlin's height should give the Links some trouble. Lincoll;I high will rely on its first stringers, McArthur, Krca rik, Jacobson, Lodge and Eager to pack most of the punch. Judging from their records this year, the Rockets and Links . are about the t wo top teams in the state, so this game should be a great battle.
New Tickets Are One-Half Price A real bargain students? The activities next semester are a real bargain at half-price. If one paid for every activity on the ticket, it would cost $2.43. The cut price is $1.21. There will be no installment tickets sold in home rooms, but students wishing to buy them on the installment plan should see Miss Effie Noll in room 125. .After February 3, 4. 5, the days of purchasing them, tickets will be sold before and after school and during all lunch periods.

Last nine weeks there w ill be softball, archery, tennis and swimming. One-half h our credit is given for each of these sports except social dancing.
In Other Schools East high s chool, Cleveland, Ohio, recently had a cold wave which almost called for red flannels. Two of the school's three oil burners were broken and tw o of the custodians had to stay all night to keep up the heat so that the school would not have to be closed. Ten of the 19 night school classes in engineering science. and management offered at Isaac C. Elston senior high school, Michigan City, Indiana, now have enrollments large enough to hold sessions. The total enrollment in all groups is 175. The three-act comedy, "I'm In the Army Now," was presented January 13 and 14 at Lake View high school Chicago, Illinois. Par t of the proceeds of the play were given to the American Theater Wing who use the money to entertain s ervice men who are s t ationed away from large cities or places for recreation. At Hyde Park high school in Chicago, to lessen the work in the office and to make thin!>'" more satisfactory for the students, each student makes out h is program for the next semester. All the subjects to be taught, including the teacher and period, are published in an issue of 'the Weekly and everyone ma)l:es his schedule from that. In case there are too "'" nV r egistered· for a certain class, the Ik:;t programs h and ed in are accepted, and the others are rearranged. This plan works out very conveniently, as t h ere a re eight periods each day to· choose from, and most of the students carry only four or five periods a day. In this way students may attend school during the time best suited them. Fremont high school has a Victory Corps program. Schedules and curriculums are being changed in many of the same ways as Lincoln high's. A Victory Corps is also being organized at F airbury. Military drill began December 10, at Roosevelt high school ; Minneapolis, Minn(lsota. Commercial s tudents at M ichigan City, Indiana, worked two weeks , assisting with the processing of fuel oil application blanks. They expect to help with kerosene rationing tqo.
. Central's revived five went into the fray with the solution in stopping the Links to bottle up McArt hur. They did a fine pob the first three quarters, but the last stanza was t.o o much for t he Purple and White. L anky Don McArthur w as held to a scant six point s in the first half but his running mates poured in enough to give t he Links an 1812 intermission lead. With a · surprise u pset of North under their belts, the Eagles were in high spirit. They came back in the second half and tied the count at 18 all by v irtue of Heffernon's, Fry'$ and Epperson's field goals. Jacobsen a nd MsArthur broke the spell by chalking u p two and three points respectively, making t he third period t erminate with the Links leading 18-23. Final count was a field day for Weyand's cagers with a total of 13 points being garnered by the Red and Black. McArthur hit his stride in this stanza, getting 7 of the 13 points. The Eagles turned in a good game but t bhey lacked the scoring pnch that they needed to turn back the L incoln juggernaut. The Links were paced by McArthur and Jacobsen who ran up a total of 24 points. The Purple a nd White w a s led by Heffernan with 10 points and Epperson with 6 points.

Service Men in Africa . Say Letters Are Tops "Letters are t·h ~ ~vps above magazines,"' wrote Capt. John A . Car rigan fron' "Somewhere ..,, ""'"nca.. to his niece Phyllis Mortlock, a junior in L incoln high school. "I've seen fellow s get in bed and pull out their old letters and spend an hour reading them over and over again to see if they missed anything. They are really read till they are literally worn out. One lad who doesn't get much mail has one of his letters pasted together with tape so he still can use it." It takes six .to eight months for Reader's Digest or other periodicals to reach there and packages are the same. T hey get some magazines via planes and via pilots. "B elieve me, magazines are all read until worn out . You don't r ealize what 'worn-out' means till you've seen one of these magazines. Incidentally, Readers Digest tops all magazines by far, for popularity. We had a guest recently who left a January Reader's Digest. I haven't quite finished it, but at least ten different fellows have been h ere the past two nigh ts to try to trade f or it," continues Captain Carriga 1i. Magazines and letters a chieve va lue far above their domest ic value. Time and Newsweek ~re second to Reader's· D igest.

Bob F ensler 's brother, Max, '41, is in the n ewly formed g lider corps. "I like it v ery much," Max said when he w as home du ring Christmas. "Nothin g beats flying. We fly light ships like the Piper Cub or A ironca's . Their controls are the same as the cont r ols on the gliders. We practice 'dead-stick' landing and also spot landing in which our in structor gets us in the a ir, shuts off the motor, and tells us t o land." Max is now a staff Sergeant and w ill be commissioned a second lieuten ant 'on his gra dua tion. Max has j ust passed h is government check, and now h e will begin training in the gliders. "I have h ad only one little m ishap since I've been in ," Max stated. "It was when I was coming in on a 'dead stick' landing and an air cu rrent h it the tail of m y plane a s I was settling dow n . It just nosed rpy plane up, but didn' t crack t he prop," he said. " No damage was done t o the plane though." " You have t o be careful a)Jo ut your parachute and safety belt," Max continued." Men have b een 'washed out' for not having parachutes or the safety belts fixed. This might injure a person s everely in case of an a ccident."

Though t he're has been n o noticeable decrease in the amount of chewing gum deposited here and there by Lincoln high school s t udents, the supply available for s tudent consumption is f a r below that of t he average year, as the g reater part of t he gum output is now bought by the army for resale i n army cant eens. Principal reason t hat the supply cannot meet the demand is that a shortage of gum base exists.

THE ADVOCATE
February Is Significant -Month During War Time February is perhaps one of the most event· ful mon'r.ns of the ye1.tr. This year, most of all, - the- holidays we celebrate will have added significance. On February 12, we humbly pay tribute to Abraham Lincoln, to whom freedom and justice for all, were not just a vain and f ur off hope for the future, but a cherished reality of his later years, and for all time to come. 'l'o him, equality was the keynote of life. Human beings were the same, and to be given equal opportnnity and respect whether they came -from a palatial estate or a small log cabin, whether a person was a northern manufacturer or a southern mammy, whether they worshipped in a mosque or in a cathedral, whether American ·or Chinese, all were equal in his eyes. Lincoln's birthday, this year, will surely have added significance for Americans every:where. ''Hearts and Flowers'' will come into view, February 14. 'l'he cute valentines and lacey hearts of children will be plentiful and their exciting faces and shining eyes will show their joy in exchanging greetings. But behind the gay laughter of youngsters comes the encouraging hope of sweethearts, the story of Saint Valentine and the girl one loves. Messages of true faith and co1irage will be sent and received by fighting men in all parts of this torn-up world. In church on Sunday, prayers of love and hymns of faith will be thought and sung as sincerest ''valentines'' by sisters and friends as well as parents and sweethearts of fighting men. The father of our country will be patriotically honored on the twenty-second of th-is month. George Washington's perseverance in the face of defeat at Valley Forge, his stamina in crossing the icy Delaware and his firm, guiding hand in affairs of state are qualities that all true fighting Americans should remember and try to ·follow. He fought for . _liberty and won in spite of enduring hardships. Comparing ourselves to other nations, we have a relatively small amount to endure. Not only Lincoln and Washington have birthdays this month, but Thomas Edison who triumphed over handicaps and i,vithout whose inventions our progress would have been greatly hindered. Also Longfellow, whose poems are loved the world over, was born in February. Se> if things seem to go wrong, and the world seems to you unable to become untangled from the g·reat net it has been drawn into, remember Lincoln 's calm courage and wonderful sense of humor even in troubled times. Remember Washing-ton's faith and per' sistence, Edison's successful struggle, St. Valentir1e 's dreams of love and p eace. So for his, and the sake of all others who have given so much for freedom and equality, remember a loved one on Valentine's day who is fighting to keep these precious ideals alive, forever.
Safety In Streets Lessens Danger Hazards For All During cold weather, rides to school are gratefully accepted as those occasional miracles that brightened the day for shivering students who waited for the bus, or street car. The special buses were overcrowded and private cars were always full. Many times, friendly drivers would t ake a group of girls or boys to school, stopping for them as they waited on corners for the bus. Sometimes, the boys, wishing to keep warm, walked toward school in the street, as they would be more certain to get a ride that way. Even in warmer weather this has been done. If the boys are careful, safety is not hindered, but when they string along the pavement, often during icy weather, the streets are not safe, either for the boys or the drivers. Car pools are many, b11t, because of gas rationing, some student s have no way of getting to school, other than the buses or by w11lking. When they live a few miles from school a bus or a ride in a private car affords a mo;e inviting means of coming to school, than on foot. So, if the drivers of cars would be accommodating, if they see a group of students going to school, and if the boys would stay out of the street, the hazards of our streets would be greatly lessened and many more · people would have less cause to complain about gas rationing.

Safety Safety is our great problem t oday, To make people safe in every way. Thousands of Americans have been taken in war And in auto crashes, a_ thousand more. This war can't be stopped by us alone, But car crashes can, and right here at home, So come on, pupils, and make it hasty. Remember our slogan, "Our watch word is safety." Phyllis Weaver.
Senior Speakers Talk Democracy And Education Young men and women of America must take advantage of all opportunities to gain an education if democracy is to be preserved in the future, senior speakers Richard Phipps and Robert Lesher told the 133 January graduates of Lincoln and Northeast high schools Friday evening, January 29, at the Lincoln high audi· torium. Richard P hipps compared democracy and something bought on the installment plan, saying, "We forgot what so many have learned the hard way, that freedom cannot be bought with a life, a limb or a golden coin, and then kept like a precious gem, but that· it must be paid for continually, year after year, in great installments, or it may be lost. We missed an installment and today we are paying for our forgetfulness." "We in America are among the best educated people in the world," said Robert Lesher in his address, "and though high school graduates have at times complained of a _too heavy schedule, they, on the whole, realize their good fortune today. This very opportunity for education is being threatened now, and we, the youth of America must defend it-defend our kind of education-Education for Life." Using the senior colors of Maroon and silve1·, junior girls Donna Bell Herpolsheimer, Phyllis Wescott ¥1d Jean Davenpol't, made rosettes to mark off the seats in the auditorium reserved for the seniors gra duating Fnday, January 29. Miss Nancie Jane Wallace and Miss Jenny Piper were the spon sors in charge.
Among the new books found in the library is one by Lowell Thomas, well known auth0r and commentator, who has written another of his thrilling adventure books entitled "Pageant of Adventure.' The book is a collection of two hundred stories from his 10,000 stories of thrills in adventure. From the chills of being buried alive in an ice cap of Greenland for two months, Mr. Thomas takes the reader to the dry wastes of Africa and a story of three avia· tors lost in the ·Sahara. Criminals and reporters, a girl in tears and the famous Lindbergh are just a few of the leading characters. There is a story for everyone's whim in Lowell Thomas' book "Pageant of Adventure." The library now has many new books of wide and var ying interests for pleasure and study. _Included are the following: Bainton-The Church of Our Fathers.

Even though the time element of the better part of this hour is in your patriotic favor, I am willing to bet you will find yourself a slacker . We are all slackers. We are all ignorant to t he facts concerning true patriotism. No it isn't waving a flag. No it isn't singing our national anthem or buying a twenty-five c ent war stamp every week. No it isn't saying, " Oh _well, anythin g to win the war,'' l!-11 t he time leaning back in the comfort of a king compared to those who give their intestines, blood, future ambitions and present Jives on the altar of war in order that you may enjoy the t hing that we so forget· fully ig!).ore every day.

Ordnance Plant Is Theme For Teacher's Luncheon Students received a three day vacation between semesters, but overtaxed teachers were still diligently at their work, if not more so t han ever, with examinations, semester grades, book records and such. However, a plelj.sant surprise was in store for them on Wed nesday, January 27, when the faculty social committee under Miss Hele.ne Schemel's chairmanship, arranged a clever luncheon. The timely theme .was based at a n ordnance plant. Everyone was presented with an identification card,. bearin g his p icture an d r oom number (with several added ciphers ) as serial numbers. The faculty was divided into eight groups; each department being designated to a specified table. The English department was seated at a t able indicated as "welding," the executives at a table marked U"Personnel," the mathematicians w ere "Drillers," the language departments were
listed as "Public Relations," and the history departments w ere "Loaders" "Ma intenance" included bookkeejing, typing and most machine working and vocational teachers. "Engineers" included_ physical science teacher s; "Assembling, " the faculty assembly com• mittee, and "Safety," the biological science teache rs. Tables were set in "Thresher Style" with brown wrapping paper as taQle cloths, silverware under inverted dinner plates and cups t urned over the saucers which were placed over the plates. The food was served "family s tyle" with all courses already on t he table, being passed from, person to person. N o separate plates were served excepting the salad plate. The luncheon was highly praised by the faculty. The menu consisted of meat loa f, baked potato boats and cheese, broccoli, fruit salad, hot rolls, relish, coffee and cherry pie.
Woman, Who Delivers Milk, ls Doing 1-1er Part Towards Winning The War W ith a s m ile a nd a cheery greeting, "Martha," the milkm aid, swings off her wagon and knocks at your door. Martha has a special reason for being a milkmaid. "You see," sh e smiles, "I have a .brother in the Signal Corps and my sister is a filing clerk in the N av y department at San Diego. My father is eighty years old and my mother works, which leaves me to hold up the family. I _feel that I'm really doing something_ to help in this war."

daesn't find it hard to remember her routes and t he likes and dislikes of her customers, t hough at firi'lt, it was confusing. One incident, Martha remembers is when one of her customers had a cold and was giving her order in a whisper. "Before she g ot through,'' Martha laughed, "I w as whispering too!" No one seem s to find it unusual t!!l have a milk-lady, 1'>1.J.t the chil· dfen,- whe _always run a.long beside ner Witgon and, giggling, a s k, "Where's tJ1e millNnan ?"

Here's a · hearty welcome. to all the lOB' s, and I'm hoping that I'll be seeing most of you girls at tqe G. A. A. meeting tomorrow, after school, in room 306. All girls who are interested in aftec school sports and in becoming members of G. A. A. are invited to attend t his important m eeting. The annual G. A. A. award luncheon was held January 29 in the cafeteria. The decoration s filled out a valentine scheme, with heartshaped programs and comic valentines as place cards: Alerie Babich sang "My Hero" arid "Savin' Myself for Bill." A fast tap was given by Betty Whitmore. Both were accompanied by Peggy Shelley. June Finney played "St. Louis B lues" and "Twelfth Street Rag" on the piano. After the sports leaders were introduced by the ingenious poetry of Peggy Shelley, toastmistress, each leader explained her sport. The n ew officers were installed and the awards were given out. All lOB girls wanting to play basketball, should come to practise on Mondays and Wednesdays in the girls gymnasium. Those who don't know much about the game, are invited to come out for practice and learn. If enough lOB's are interested, a team will be formed in the interclass tournament. Here's a chance for a G. A . A . emblem, so we'll be looking for you.
''What 's the matter, what's the matter with the team? ' ' ''They 're all right!" '"Who?" "The TEAM ! ! !" Sure, we have a simply super basketball team. We.. all are proud of it, but we clon 't show it enough at the game:>. Of course we all yell om· heacb off when we don't like the way we are being· treated or when we make a score, but there isn't very much organized cheering·. There are just three general types of people that com e to high school games: Type x; those that come to watch the other side get beat, those that are proud of their team and want to show it by advertising with school cheers. Type y; the temperamental little " jerks" that like to make up their own yells. Come on, you funny men of yesterday, :we know those yells. 'l'hey're corny now. And last bnt not least: 'l'ype z; the little kill joys. The ones that come to the games with both eyes closed, except one. The ones that never even so much as s·ay " Boo ! " Stuffy, aren 't they 'I Moral! Our basketball team is fighting fOl' us. Let 's show our appreciation. lt might be harder because of our games being played in an auditorium without bleachers, but ·we shouldn't let that lick us. lJet's be type x and sl1 ow the other side that we can beat them in cheering and playing as well.

Wilkinson, '41, Likes Paper Ray Wilkins on, '41, first class petty officer, w ho visited Lincoln high last December, stated in a letter written after receivin g three copies of the Advocate sent complimentary to former Links in t he service, that he enjoyed the papers very m uch and didn't know how to express his · appreciation for them. Wrote Ray, "Just to read the news from the best h igh school in the world really h elped me out." Ray has had one session in t h e hospital, having had "Ger m an" measles for seven days. Ray, who is taking electricity, has finished seven weeks and now has seven more to go. His class begins at 4 p. m. and ends at midnight. While in Lincoln h igh, Ray participated in Joy Night and earned letters in basketball and baseball.
In The Classes The faculty, in meeting recently, agreed upon a diff erent s ystem of recordin g cases of t ardiness. B eginning February 1, all t ardiness will be carefully kept by teachers. After the third offense pupils will be reported to the office by s pecial note the day it occur s and the pupil will be called in for a conference.
Have Any Suggestions? Any suggestion as to w hat can be sold at the-· r emaining basketball games will be greatly appreciated by the G. A. A . Can dy is very scarce, so if anyone has an idea, just let G. A . A . know.

From the Hi-Point of View BY PHYLLIS MORTLOCK. Past editor Mildred Breuer as a contribution to her former column has something to say about the situation in China. "China is beginning to suffer a severe paralysis under the stranglehold of the Japanese blockade. Food, supplies and most important of all, hope, are cut off from the- people. Whether or no the other Allies are to. blame, effective militar y aid has been denied China. And more than , once the experience and ability of ·Chinese militarists ha s been passed up in the -pla nning. of the United Nations grand strategy. China desires to be recognized a.s a national, political equa l with the other Allies. Of more. immediate importance. she needs help to break the Jap blockade. Along the first line, England and America have lately made a gesture of rec·ognition by abolishing extra-territoriality in China. Now the President has given China a ray of hope as to the second phase. In his Lincoln's day address, the president's first speech since his eventful return from Casablanca, he assured China that Japan would not be "neglected." "Important action will be taken in the skies over China," he p romis ed. Supreme commander o f allied forces in Africa, "Ike" Eisenho wer was appointed a full g eneral last week. One o! the four generals in
the Uni ted States, Ike is noted for his Yankee vim and vigor. London higher-ups were · delighted one wintry morning when Ike, emerg· ing from .a long conference, went jogging down the cold corridor, in the good old American football fashion, sna pping his fingers and muttering "Boy, is it cold, is it ever cold! " The Wahoo, ace submarine, has come back to its home base, Pearl Harbor, after a long absence, to refuel and to allow its tired cr ew to garner a well ea rned _rest. The Wahoo sports the grand total of eight J ap anese flags painted on her hull, signifying that she has sunk eight Jap ships and has over 30,000 tons of enemy shipping . s1.1nk to her credit. Also flourishing on het :_.,,w is a broom, which means that the Wahoc. ho~ h~rl '" clean sweep of her assigned waters. ' Ordered to stop a Japanese convoy of perhaps "two or three" ships, the Wahoo encountered eight! Nothing daunted, she sank 'em all, then r eturned home to ready herself for another bout. Washington shoe-rationing officials are stumped on a plaintive letter recently mailed to them. "Does a one-legged man ha ve to buy a pair of shoes on his coupon or can he purchase one at a time ?" t he letter queried. A uthorU.i0.<i are still puzzling over the reply.

'Links' Rapidly Attaining Shape The Links staff for 1943 is rapidly getting the dummy in shape and work is beginning on the typing of biographies. The senior section is fairly complete. The Links has one typist, Doris Frahm. Staff positions are being· chosen this week. Vigorous house cleaning is going on in the Links' office. The staff has been wait ing for some things depending upon the printer and engraver.

Sacrifice And H-a rdship Due Chief Justice Simmons Stresses What Axis Surrender Will Bring Viewing the present w orld situation, one sees the a ge old struggle between t wo theories of t he rights of the people, Chief J u st ice of the Supreme Court, Robert G. Simmons, t'old the assembly f or group B , Friday. "Facing the problem of peace, all must be aware of wha t is inv olved in u ncondition al s ur r ender and today. it means : for Italy, t he elimfo.ation of Mussolini and the F ascist control ; for Germa ny, complet e elimination of the _Nazi r egime and their type of gover nment; for Japan, complete u pset of their philosophy of government which they have had for centuries . "If this wa r· teaches us anything, it teaches that liberty, the r ights of fr ee people do not come to us unaided and cannot be maintained without effort ," remarked Judge S immons. "When peace does come and our nation will sit with the other s w ill be build a peace cannot be based on both," stated the Chief J ustice. He emphasized that our nation will have to sacrifice and endure hardships. He pictured the world as though seen from a spherical balloon such as he rode in when h e was in training in San Antonio, T exas, during t he first World war 25 years a go. Judge Sim m on s sa id that riding in an a irplane is very different fr om riding in a free balloon. In a balloon a person feels as if he is standing still a nd the ground is moving. One of the t heories is that certain people are born t o rule a nd others are born t o be ruled. T he second t heory is that the government rules by consent of the g ov• erned, and people are masters. All of our wars have been fought over these principles. The day being F ebr uary 12, J udge Simmons said that we were paying respect to a great America n, w ho was Abraham Lincoln, a man r emem bered by a ll, whose works u phold the last theory. "There is nothing new a bout ·dictators," Judge Simmons sa id, " only t he name and brutality. One comm on ideal of the United N ations is t he fundamental right s of peoples to govern themselves ; these nations fight not tha t they may be safe, but that they ma y be free."
Debaters Travel To Omaha' South At the invitation of th e Oma ha South h igh school debate organization, f our Lincoln high debaters journeyed t o Omaha for a decision debate Monda y, February 15. Those making the trip were Willia m Miller, Rober t Gillan, Thomas Sorenson and Harold Luedtke. Both teams won. The su bject for d ebate was, "Resolve That the Federal Government Should Adopt . a St r ong er Labor Policy for the_ Duration of the War." Miller and Gillan upheld the affirmative against a South negative team, while Tom Sorenson and Harold Luedtke de.,,~+0rf on the negative side against another of tne · opponent 's t eams. Omaha Sout~., has a novel pla n, whereby students in the ..t 'lldy hall may go to t he auditorium, pay a fee of 5 cents, and list en to the debates being staged. W ith this nominal income, the s chool's debater s can afford t o invite ne igh boring schools, in and outside the state, a nd finance the expenses incurred.

Symbolism of Flng Means Much To True Americans What i:s old glory1 Can you answer that question 1 Yes, it's a red, white and blue flag" but do you know its true value to good .An1ericans ~ . _You_ can irnagine the thrill a person gets seemg it passing in a parade or ·waving- nobly from the Jargest building· in the country. , Wher~ver it is you wi.11 notice it always r:eachmg toward the sky displaying freedom, hberty and the principles of Christianity to the world. OJd glory first started with America. It was .A small inconspicuous piece of cloth as America was an old pieee of land, but when .America grew, so did this old piece of cloth. Down through the years it stood as an ideal for pioneers, business men, dnctors, lawyers, bac~;voodsmen and Americans in every walk of life. It was the backbone of the nation covered with bloodstains from the civil war, revolutionary war, war of 1812, world war and now it is being soaked in American blood which is still being spilled in different parts of the world. · This flag has seen the four cornel's of the globe and is spreading· its standards of ch·iliza-' tion all over the world, Starting with only thirteen stars, it accumulated forty-eight, each 1tanding· for a link in the nation \Vhich is leading· the world toward an everlasting peace. Respecting the flag is· a second religion to Americans and striving· to bring new glory to it is a second nature to us. Like a roliing stone, it picked up pieces here and there, growing larger by the years. When babies, the Americans a're taLtght to wave this flag with meaning; not to wave a knife with no meaning. As they become children they are taught to salute the flag, not any one man. When saluting the flag· they are saluting many thousands of persons' accomplishments ; not worahiping one slant eyed human as a god. As young· men they learn the history of freedom and as men they defend it even to the extent of giving' up their lives. As t.ime g·oes on so will Old Glory, bringing freedom to all until eternity.

'Dramatic School, Bad F01· Actors,' Says Actress, Cornelia Otis Skinner "If you want to be
an actor don't go to dramatic school. Get a high school education with perhaps a year of college, then look for a good stock company or summer theater. Don't go to dramatic school and have somebody try to teach you something." These were the words of Cornelia Otis Skinner, famous monologist and co-author of the current bestseller, "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay," when. asked for· some advice concerning an acting career. Miss Skinner, who lives in Long Island with her husband and 12 'y ear old son, stopped in Lincoln on her way to the W.est coast where she and Miss Kimbrough are signing over the rights to their recent book to Paramount for a moving picture. She spoke on the ,Junior League Town Hall lecture aeries February 9. \\'hen asked whom she wou Id
Drastic Changes Due On Post·War Jlasliions "Fashion may never die, but you'll know it has had a major operation after the war, when you see men wear skirts," says Elizabeth Hawes, a leading fashion expert, in an article in the Reader's Digest. When men have time. to consider their lot, due to the women taking on a part of their present work, they will see that a little scrubbing and dusting will be a pleallant relief from scribbling dull notea at an office. Of c;:ourse, the result of .this will be terrific. The words feminine and masculine, as applied to clothing, will disappeat;. In eKtremely hot weather men will readily go about clad in· cool little tennis dresses, as women already do in shorts.
like to see play the leading role~ . Miss Skinner replied, in her own charming way, "Well, I really don't know, you see, I just despise movies. I never see more than three or four a year and when I go I'm 1n agony the whole time. However, my young son loves them and he thinks Miss Rosalind Russell would be splendid, but as I said, I don't k now. I've · never seen Miss Russell." Miss Skinner thinks all moving pictures are definitely too long. Miss Skinner's idea of what a woman should be is; that .she must be a g·ood friend, and have a good sense 01' humor. Miss Skinner herself is very charming ahd vivacious, "although," she said, "I'm not a feminist mysel(." She hates all sports except swimming, which, according to her, she could do for houl'S and hours. Her reply to the question, "Po you think ·women should be drafted?" was this : "If they're needed for the war effort then they certainly should be. Anything to win the war." Miss Skinner does not think the war will slow down the world of entertainment. . "Really the opposite," she said. "I think entertaim~tent is needed a great deal right now, and can also have its place in the war effort. " She does a lot of entertaining a.t the a~my camps whenever ahe has a chance, and likes l.'loldier audiences very much. She has a step-111on in the Solomons. Miss Skinner attended Bryn Mawr boarding schcool and then went to Paris to study for the stage, She has always loved acting, and has inherited ~he ability of her father, the late Otis Skinner.
Air Base, U.S.O. Want Old Playable Records
High School Presentations Are Democracy In A·ction Although Lincoln high school has been ex· tremely busy and encol.uaging in its wai' activities, it still carries its reg·ular prog:ran1 for the semester. As al ways, students are looking forward to the junior play1 Joy )iight and the opera. These performances are. what many persons, :not just students either, look forward to very eag;erly. They are nights that parents and friends watch their children perform, and see the talent that might not have been known "over there," blossom forth in clever lines and sparkling songs. Students will be just as eager this year as ever before to see these performances. Whether &ome pupils realize it or not, such performances are a blessing of our country. They are the right of freedom of speech, and freedom from. fear. They a.1;e opportunity and progrf.'ss, and we must keep what they stand for, alive and shining till victo1·y is won. These acti<1·ities are one ideal we at·e fight· ing for,

Ghost stories are supposed to bring chills up and down your spine and make your hair rise, but Dorothy Scarborough brings the modern ghost to you in a collection· of stories in the book "Humorous Ghost Stories." Everything has gone modern, so why not have modern ghostl!I too? Or maybe you don't believe in ghosts. "In. early literature," writes Dorothy Scarborough, "ghosts took themselves very seriously .and insisted on a proper show of respectful fear on the part of those whom they honored by haunting. A mortal was expected to rise when a ghost entered a room, and in case he was slow about it, has spine gave notice of what etiquette demanded." The modern ghost of today dresses in the latest styles and can make the living squirm, but only in laughter. Imagine the emban·assment of the ghost who was given lubricator t.o oil his chains so they wouldn't .squeak on his midnight travels of the :house. Mortals can be very annoying to the modern ghost. You'll enjoy the oriental charm of "The Mummy's Foot," a story vividly written of an .Eg·y,Ptian princess, Hermonthis, daughter of }>hara.oh, who lost her foot, and the antique buyer who found· it. The little black boy, Mose, will give you many laughs with his dialect of the ·_!\outh and his "mieasy feel 'bout de ghosts whut ain't." But then there aren't many persons who live where there is a "grabeyard in de hollow, an' a buryin'-ground on de hill, an' a cemuntary in betwixt an' between," so Mose has a right to be scared. "I dare anyone," writes Dorothy Soa..rborough, "however grouchy a reader, to finish the stories in this volume without having a kindlier feeling' toward ghosts!" For a supernatural book with iiuper lau:S?:hs. read "Humorous Ghol'lt S t ories" by Dorothy Scarborough.
"Say Jackie, those recor ds of yours are still at my house." ''That's okay. I don't want them. You can have them if you want tQ keep them." "I don't want them." "Then throw them away." Don't do this! Send all your old records (that aren't cracked or broken) out to the Air Base, or to the U.S.O. The boys will be de· lighted to have them,
Censors Inspil·e Sailor's Poem Myrrel A. Raddatz, seaman second class, U. S. N., and a former Links, has been in Uncle Sam;s navy one year and fuur months. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Raddatz, seldom hear from Myr~ rel because he has been at sea since Deceml)er 9 , 1941. At one time they didn't receive a letter from him for nine months. Myrrel joined the navy October 21, 1941. In all his time of service, Myrrel has had but one leave. He arrived home on December 7, and was ordered back on December 9, 1941. The following poem was sent by Myrrel to his patents in place of a. letter: A LETTER HOME. Can't write a thing· The censo:rs to blame Just say tnat I'm well And sign my name. Can't tell. where we sail from Can't mention the date And can't number The meals I've ate, Can't say where we're going· Don't know where we'll land Can't inform you If met by band. Can't mention the weather, Can't say if the rain All military secrets Must secret remain. Can't have a. flashlight TD guide me at night
Can't smoke a c.igarette Except out of sight. Can't say for sure Just what I can write So, I'll C!l 11 this a letter And close with "'Good N ight." -Myrrel A. Raddatz.
Open Forum To .the Editor: As I viewed the Lincoln highNortheast game last week a number of things en tered my )llind considering the sportsmanship and rivalry between these two Lincoln city high schools. One of the first things I noticed was the way Northeast supported, to the full extent, their reserve team. Their cheering was loud and sincere. It took almost two quarters in w hich Lincoln h.i gh reserves trailed in the scor• iilg, for the boosters to wake up to the fact that Northeast was way ahead in cheers, too. From then on our cheers resounded louder and Lincoln high's points mounted on the scoreboard, J;mt not fast enough, for we were beaten by a single f ield goal. Why not support the reserves as well as the first team ? After all, the reserves are the .first team of tomorrow. Did you all notice the 'catchy songs combined with yells a nd cheers that were given by N ort.heast's bands and pep club? Why not place the band and the Peppers closer together and perhaps something similar could be worked out. We beat Northeast in points, but were we ahead in pep and enthu· siasm? MARY LOU KING. To the Editor: Why do some people persist in having "fun" at other people's expense? An example of this was at the Lincoln-Beatrice game, February 5. Some persons in the balcony seemed to enjoy dropping things on the spectators below. The Peppers seemed to receive most of this as they were located directly beneath the balcony. · Students of Lincoln high should try to keep the Irving auditorium clean because we are fortunate to be able to use it. We all go to the g·ame1 to boost the· tea.m. and have a good time. But can't the small minority of people, who l!eemed to be bored with it all, think of someone else's comfort before their own. It is this group of students who always have to do something to attract attention, which causes· black marks to be made on Lincoln high's record. Mary Dye
Government ls Urgently In Need of A.ll Tin Cana Are you saving tin cans? Your government urgently needs the material contained in these cans. About 90 percent of our tin formerly came from Malaya. It is used on many of our war machines. This is the first time that tin cans have been . salvaged commercially to any great extent. They must be properly prepared and kept in a dry place until called for April 13. To be properly prepared they must be flattened with enough space left between sides to see through them so that detinni:ng fluid can reach all parts. This is a very small thing to do and everyone should try to cooperate to the fullest extent,
Unica"teral Visit Is Interesting To Helvig Girls Rare is the occasion tor pupils in any state to v isit a vnicameral legislature. Nebraska is the one state which has this form of legislature. The unicameral is now in its sixth year of success. How many of you pupils in Lincoln high have ever attended the Unicameral? If not you have probably missed one of the greates t enjoyments of life in Nebraska. This year Speaker of the House is Robert Crosby. There are 43 senators in all. When one visits the Unicameral one sees a unique scene.. All of the senators roam around, joke, a.nd are very informal. This year there were three girl page~ and one boy, Robert Marbach, who has left to join the army. Last Wednesday, Wayne 0 . Reed, state superintendent, reported to the a ppropriation committee, that the state would need 2,000 teachers next fall. The unicameral held a program Friday, February 12, in memory of Abraham Lincoln's birthday. It would be very nice if some of the history classes of Lincoln high school could attend t he Unicameral. Anyone who visits this type of legislature will not forget it. It is very i m pressive and should J:i.old the attention of every Nebraskan. Dolores artd Beverly Helvig senior and junior respectively, visited the unicameral between semesters. They had never had a chance to visit t his type of legisla t ure because they lived \n Iowa until last year when they moved to Lincoln.
The S pi1·it Knows You_don't know me yet, but I'm right here at your i;ide; Please don't be fright.ened, J: won't hurt you because I 'm used to people like you-only I have been attending Lincoln high much longer than you have. I was here during· the last war, and I even went w ith some of the boys overs~as ; even now I am with those of this second war. " But don't worry, ther e is. st ill plenty of me here. You see I'm the Spirit of Lincoln high. I remember way back when the school was first started I attended all the classes, football and basketball games, and I might add, you have a swell team this year. I go to all of them decked out like the White House Christmas tree. Oh, yes, I don't want to forget to mention the t rack and swim m ing meets either. You don't mind my looking over your paper do you? What are those funny things you're drawing? It seems, every class I go into I see those markings where history, Latin or chemistry should be. You're supposed to listen · to the teach1;1r. But as I was sayin g . I'm the spirit of Lincoln high, and I'll tell you about the average day I spend. Sorry I have to leave but the Peppers are going to get together to talk about the next basketball game and boys, so I'll be leaving you for awhile. So long, see you as soon aa you think of me again.
Bill Forrey, Senior, Has. Close Call, Leaves Boo~s In The Wrong Car William Forrey, a. senior in Lincoln high school, almost suc.e eeded in getting rid of his homework , books and all; recently without even half trying. If you want the solution, here . it is: A woman from Auturn, Nebraska, .with a Plymouth which has an Auburn i;,,~~~" nves at the For-'""'.Y nome. She collects antiques. The other day "Bill" went down town from school carrying all hl..S books. As he was walking along the street he saw a Plymouth car parked by the curb with an Auburn, Nebraska license. Bill decided it was worth an investigat ion to see if this was his friend's car . As he looked in the automo bile window he saw severa.I objects in the back seat~ obviously, antiques1

Lincoln Swimmers zn Initial Win Over Fremont Linl\.s Bow To Tech, Score 24-17

In the t h irteenth game of the season, played Saturday afternoon, February 13, the Red and Blacks undefeated bas ketbaU record was ended by the Oma.ha Tech squad to the tune of 24-17. The Maroons, forgetting the Links long series of victories, . went on t he floor with fighting power. The Links did · not get a good start and t hus the Maroons were neve.r headed. The Tech team took advantage of the Links indifference at the start, broke away to an early lead, grabbed a 14-5 margin at the salftime. The Maroons geared the Links to their own pace to stay in control all the way. The closest the Red nd Black got to the Tech score wa.s 16-11 in the third quarter and 20-15 in the fourth. The Omahans maintained a good defense before the Lincoln basket a.nd played their own shots close, especially in the last half when "Snuffy" Vecchio and Harold Olson broke for the import ant last quarter field goals. The Maroons indication of. co-ordination was the fact that the first five remained throughout the whole game. Scores for the Maroons were pretty evenly pivided. Vecchio getting five points, W ittmer receiving four. Fouls for the Omahans were light being guilty of four fouls all game. Don McArthur, usual high scorer for the Red and Black, got off to one poirtt in the game. Dave Krcmarik w as high point man for the Links with eight, followed by William!! with four. The box:

One of the reasons for the faltering school spirit displayed at the home games mav be accounted for by the added attraction» that the "Balcony Boys" sponsor, when the game becomes a bit dull. The feature act consists of a group of hefty young bruisers preparing to toss one pf the smaller lads over the edge of the balcony, but really just dangling h im by one foot, creating great excitement, and doing a beautiful job in the way of distracting the crowd's attention from the game. This act is followed by more members throwing an unwilling victim's hat onto the stage, which seems to be a great sport, espe· cially when the hat becomes somewhat mangled from the exercise. Then for the encore, a pack of king-sized balloons are blown up. These are released and carry on in such a way as to c"ause more excitement. If you "Balcony Boys" must have a private. act, why not enter Joy Night or get a scheduled spot to stage it between halves, where :some entertainment is needed, and not while the teams are playing,
Dean Paap Says 'Lot of People Are In Lincoln High' "I like Lincoln high just fine , but there are certainly a lot of people atound." Such is the opinion of a newcomer to the school, Dean Paap in 215. Dean, a junior, comes from Colleg·e Academy, which is located in College View. Dean says he doubts if many have heard of his old alma mater, but it is a fine school with grades from nine t o twelve. Most students attending the school are preparing in a more a<lvanced way to enter univers ity. Dean is interested in basketball and was, captain of one of the teams which play after school three · times a week. He was also a member of the Medical Corps which corresponds to t he Victory Corps in L. H. S. Dean plans join the Victory Corps as soon as possible and hopes, soon, to play a little basketball for Lincoln high.

Patriotic Service Theme ls Service Theme of patriotic serv ice in the schools for this week, Februa ry 15 to 19, is Conservation of Rubber. The purpose is to keep up the supply for military needs and to keep our transportation system from breakini;: down. The following steps should be considered· by all: A-We must have g reat quantities of rubber for military and essential civilian n eeds. I B-The capture of Malaya and the East Indies by: the J aps so cut our rubber supply that w e have . barely ertough for military --..i. ~. :n11>0.,t,, tf:toential community needs. M;ore than 90 per cent of our supplies came from t hese areas. With so many uncertainties in the synthetic program, we would be foolhardy to count on using very much synthetic rubber for the passenger cars. Reclaimed rubber is inferior to natural rubber and it can be substituted for natural rubber only to a limited extent. C-To maintain essential civilian driving, the t ires now in the possession of car owners must therefore be preserved, used· whe~e they will do the m ost go~d and utilized to the last pound of rubber and last mile of life in them. Before gasoline rationJng was put into effect, thousands of cars were being taken off the road every month because the tires were w orn out. The tire can be preserved for a much longer period of use by sharply curtailing luxury, convenience and unnecessary driving, D-Rationing of mileage by rationing of gasoline was selected as
the surest, fairest and most d emocratic method of conserving our tires and thus preventing a b reakdown of our tran:sportation system. E-Anything you do to help conser ve tires or t o help conserve rubber in any form is a patriotic service. Some possibilities are: to walk to school, church, store, social gatherings if possible; if you drive a car or ride a bicycle, learn and observe rules for t ire conservation ; if you don't drive, help parents observe these rules. Next week, February 22 to 26, the theme for patriotic service will be rationing.

Rationing More Excessive In The Future; Extra Care Given Rationed Articles In these t imes we a re all conscious of the fact that although practically everything is being, or has been rationed, we still are able to buy all the clothes we want. Of course we shouldn't be hoarders about it. (Don't forget many hoarders are lost in certain ways.) Whether it be rubber, gas, sugar or shoes, it is all rationed, and it is our duty t o make the most of what we do .get. We should not be wasteful and complaining, after all we who fight on the home front don' t face half the dangers of those who fight on the battlefront, even though our work is every bit as vital! So here are some suggestions on how we can be more conservative, save more, and still keep up a good appearance in spite of war rationing. High school fashions have a.
great tendency toward skir ts and sweaters fo1· girls, as has been the trend for sometime, and for boy s? Well, just about the same, but if you could see a certain pair of red striped suspenders just about two or three inches wide blending in perfectly with green trousers, you wouldn't think w e were .conserving on materials. Of course, colors are getting louder and brighter every day and they really g ive a cheery appearance even though they do clash a little. But getting down to shoes; we're going to have to do a little planning, to figure out how to make those shoes last longer, and to get the shoes we need for a ll occasions. It looks as if some "hepcats" are going to h ave to cut dow n a little on " j ivin" and " rug cuttin" anyway, if they're hard on shoes. The only way some can

What is the top of the ladded It is said that when a person has attained this position, he is a success. But you then might ask, "'Vhat is a success 1" Webster defines it, "attainment of a proposed object or one who accomplishes favorable results. ' ' But if a person has achieved an objective, he knows he is a success, if even in a small capacity. The expression, "It's the little things that count,'' has added truth these days, for if a pe1·son accomplishes a small task toward winning the war, he knows it is a stepping stone toward a more important goal. High school students have many so-called little things they can do to help. Two of these come under the heading· of books; Victory books, and war stamp books. Under the first category, the only thing- that can be said is that fighting· men still want books. .Although the school campaign has closed, many places will welcome contributions. A soldier can't "settle down with a boo·k,, every evening, but when he does get a chance to read, he wants an interesting story that will. take his mind off the war for awhile. IVs the least we can do! When war stamps are ment ioned many persons think of all t he stamps they bought. and the books they 've started. Whether they know it or not, these books lying around in desks and table drawers at home are not helpinp: much to win the war. If they were filled and turned in for bonds, thousands of dollars could be used for supplies for fighting men. .And too, these books, collec ting dust at home, don't net the owner any interest, either. So if those with books for our armed forces, either for pleasure or \var supplies, would make it their goal either to give or turn in these books by the end of this month, the morale of the men, and the strength of our forces, will be greatly raised and increased, 10 that victory 's welcoming· light will shine brighter and clearer for all the United Nations.
Causes For Complaints A. ppear Relatively Minute Ration, ration throughout the nation! These words have a familiar ring to every student. They think, '"Less of this, and fewer amounts of that." No one wants to be ·a "chucklehead," and hoard ma tei·ials; but make a contrast between the things there are fewer amounts of. and the things we have plenty of, and see if maybe we aren't all hoarders of sacred ideals. "Holy smoke!" :Mr. Want More complains. ''Only four gallons a week! F'or a man in my position, that 's outrag·eous ! '' Calm down, little man, and think! Four gallons for yom car to keep four freedoms for· your family. That young man in khaki is using the things that are restricted to you to keep the light of four freedoms over he1·e, and bring it sooner to darkened Europe and China. "Can you beat that?" blusters Miss Buy !More. ''Only three pairs of shoes a year! How can I manage~" How do girls your age i~ Czechoslovakia and England get along 1 Which sounds more pleasant, no pair of shoes a year in a dictatorship, or three pairs in .America ~ You are limited to three pairs of shoes to preserve three institutions; the church, the school, and the home. That may sound slightly far-fetched, but think it over. ·Think wl1at "they " have done to these institutions of p1·ogress1 faith and love. "Less meat, and less canned goods!" exdaims Mrs. Spend More. ''And you should see the prices of food, nowadays!' ' My, my, isn 't that tragie ~ Take a jaunt to Austria and try your hand at managing meals. That ensign needs your steaks foi· victory. The country needs tin fol' tanks, so there are less canned goods. Nowadays, nntrition and "food stretchers" a1·e the keynote in American kitchens. :Mrs. Spend More will rediscover her liking for fish and fried chicken. She will use leftovers in economical variety dishes. And she will thank her lucky stars and stripes that her family can sit down to the table with no fear or worry, and thank God for their daily food, no matter how small it may be. Ration, ration; be thankful for it. That many more persons are thinking of the smaller seemingly obscure things, and the seemingly small and obscure persons about them. When this war is over, everyone will he proud that he or she gave up whatever small luxi:;ry they might have possessed, for a victorious, peaceful post-war world.

Famous Opera Star Says Musical Career Is Desirable, If Talented "If you h ave the t alent a nd the des ire th ere's nothing to stop you from having a musical career ." These were the words of Miss Helen J epson, opera star, while in Lincoln for t he concert series Monday, Febr uary 22. Miss J epson is on a t our and Lincoln was her first stop. "Going t o a school such as Curt is or Julliard is really much better than just studying privately. For t his reason private lessons are very expensive and you don't receive the equally im port ant things such as languages, how to walk and talk, and general train· ing ." Miss Jepson attended Curtis in· s titute f or five seasons. She ha s also coached with the best ins tructor s. W hen asked how long she h ad b een singing, Miss Jepson replied, "I've been s ingin g ever since I can remember. I sang in m y church choir at 13, and, being fortunate enough to have a ver y good and very a m bitious h igh school m usical instr uctor , I sang in such operas as the 'Pinafore,' 'Bohemian Girl' and 'Pagliacci'. I practicaly g·ot thru high school on my glee clu b credits. In fact I think in my l~t year I had to substitute some of t hem f or chemistry." Miss J epson thinks soldier a ud iences are the best, and, incidentally, the m ost appreciative of g ood things. In answer t o the ques tion "Which do you like bes t, radio or opera?" Miss Jepson r epli ed, "Opera is the most satisfying be·c ause you have everythin g but I lik e concerti> best because I f eel closer to my audie nces. " M iss J epson sang two years with Paul W hiteman and s he has been with Rudy VaJlee, B ing · Crosby and other big r a dio prog r ams. Miss Jepson hasn't cut songs from ·h er programs in any languages (Germa n or Italian) because of the war . "I think most people <1re broadm inded enough t o appreciate t he m anyway," she said. Miss Jepson is very g racious and full of vitalit y. Her ·hobby used to be r aising an gora rabbits . She had two thousand. She is also quite a seamstress a nd has just bought a new sewing m achine. .S he d oes some dress designing on the side. To end her tour, M iss Jepson will go to Chicago w ith t he Metropolitan. Miss Jepson has in her possess ion some earri ngs m ade from a set of cuff links t hat belonged to Caruso. 0

When as ked for com men ts concerning Lincoln high studen ts, Mrs. LeMar replied, "For a school the size of L. H . S. the p upils g et along t ogether very well. I a m a gradua te of L incoln high, but I think t he genera l calibre a nd school spirit h a ve improved even since 1938." M rs . LeMar has taught at Whittier and Everett Jun ior h igh schools. "On the whole, pupils a t Lincoln h igh are more cooperative, better disciplined and inore interest ed than in other schools,'' she said. Mrs. LeMar enjoys substitute teachin g very much. " My husband is with the Army A ir Corps serving in Africa ," s he said, "so teaching has given me something const ructive to do." While in Lincoln h igh school Mrs. LeMar was an officer in Girl R eserves, w riters club, a n d a member of the national honor society.

Archery, a girl's sport? Not much, it's a man's! The girls have it; why not the boys? Almost everybody would like to learn. Why not have it as a regular intermural sport? How about it, Coach Beechner? The school's basketball team's leading scorer is big Don McArthur with 94 tallies in 14 games. Others above 40 points are: Dave Krcmarik with 91, Bob Jacobsen with 70, Dick Lodge with 85 and "Gus" Eager with 45. The first five have averaged a little better than 28 points a game.
Did You l(now Starting for the first time this week, this column will give facts on sports that you would like to know. The game of billiards was originated and played before the birth of Christ. Billiards were brought to America by the Spaniards and in the last 50 years the game has become very popular. Did you know that the bow and arrow was used as early as 50,000 years ago ? It was used in Europe up until the discovery of gun powder as a major weapon.

New Pre-Induction Course Is Praised For Post-War Life; General Duncan "Pre-Induction is an excellent eourse for high schools and will be practical even after the war!" This is the attitude toward the new course here, expressed by General Early E. Duncan in an interview at his home, recently. The general is now in command of the Lincoln Air Base. He has been in the Army since May 14, 1917, serving in Siberia in the first war and since then traveling to the Philippines, Hawaii and all over the United States. He showed interest in welfare Of high school students because he believes almost every present high school boy, or man, as he referred to them, would some day soon be active in some branch of the war effort. General Duncan agrees. wholeheartedly with the 18-year-old draft bill on the basis that an 18-year-old man is well enough cultured, both physically and mentally, to withstand the activities in the present day military camps. A boy of this age Is more apt and active, which makes fine recruits for the studies prepared by experts and adminis· tered in the army. The general, who is from North . Carolina, when asked what he thought of the .city, replied, in aouthern style, "I think Lincoln is a lovely city, It is clean, cultured, pretty, and very hospitable It cooperates in every way possible with the B&se and I believe the relations are drawing the two closer together all the time." He spoke of Lincoln and the Base as one community. He is satisfied with the women workers at the Base and is looking forward to the time when the present high school girls will be replacing some of them. These women are truck drivers, chauffeurs, instructors, mechanics, radio technicians, stenographers and secretaries. The soldiers have been enter-

Cafeteria Appreciates All Student Aid; Cold Lunch Roo1n Nlay Open Soon According t o Mrs. Helen Pierce who is director of all lunch rooms in the Lincoln schools, the students are cooperating very well in carrying their trays back to the service window, that is except for those having the last lunch period. Mrs. Pierce believes there is some misunderstanding when the pupils are unwilling to do their part. The women who start to help clean up the cafeteria are there to help meet the dead line, not to finish cleaning up the trays. So all who eat in the cafeteria last lunch are asked to help them by carrying the trays t o the window as do those of the other .lunch periods. There has been some shortage of drinking glasses lately, but this is soon to be met. The cafeteria
Don Hicdecker
Is War 'Fluxie'
Seven girls in Gilbert Burnhamn's auto mechanics I class, seem to be having the time of their lives trying to find out what really makes a car run. A sample of their jobs to date has been to take out a clutch, rivet on license plates, clean out carbuerators, and filing rods, to name only a few. Their attire is simple, but none too glamorous, consisting of sweatshirts and slacks or coveralls. The class period works by alternation. This week the girls are in the shop and next .week the class period will be used in studying. Girls in the class are Elaine McBride, Virginia Meligon, Mary Fr.ancis Irwin, Jean Pierce Jane Pierce, Leona Porter, and Ruth Spadt.
Donald Hiedecker, who attended Lincoln high during half of his junior year, is now residing in Portland, Oregon, w here he is engaged in war work. Don is working in one of H en r y J. Kaiser's famous shipyards in Portland and likes the w ork fine. In the yards he is a "fluxie," wh ich is a shipyard label for a person who does general work and receives $60 a week. Don writes, "All types, sizes, and kinds of ships are being turned out in the shortest possible time," and he believes. "t he sight of the busy yard would certainly give Adolph and Hirohito a heada che." He also reports the people on the west coast to be very sober arid serious about the war and that his fellow workers are putting ships together "with a purpose in mind,"-that of "licking the axis."

has ordered 18 dozen drinking which should arrive glasses shortly. There has been some t a lk of opening up another r oom for those with cold lunches. This was tried once before, b ut proved unsa tistory. The cafeteria has been trying to m eet the demands of the students for candy and ice cream, but due to the rationing by the distributors, they are unable to. In the past when things were normal, they w ere able to sell 50 dozen varieties of candy; now 50 dozen is a weekly allotment.
Victory corps assists with essential work Seven members of the Victory Corps worked at the recreational room at t he city hall recently, filing. They were Pearl Armstrong, Dorothy Bennison, Ma rie Bouman, Thelma Miller , Shirley Campbell, Jacque Babcock and Ina Belle Ross.

Bar Pupils From Capitol It has been n ecessary to as k s chools to bar the pupils from entering or passing through the capitol building except on busin ess. This is necessary because t he parents would put responsibility on the custodians in case t he children are inj ured. Pupils a lso insist on marking init ials in the stone and annoy war workers.

To the E dit or: Gir ls gave up after -school basketball on Monday, January 15, in order to enable t he b oys t o h old their swimming meet, and so t h at t h e spectators could ent er t hrough the girls dressin g room. In spite of all this, the divers of our swim ming t eam thought they would have "fun" and deliber ately splashed water on girls wh ile warming up for the div ing events. Those "s m a r t " prankster s caused an exceeding am ount of damage. Yes, water spots do not always come out and m ost of the g irls had to send t heir clothes to the clea ners because of th is. Those boys should feel privileg·ed th at they are on t he swimming t eam, tha t they can hold meet s, and t ha t the g irls a re int erest ed enough to att end these meet s. Let's see if they have en ough w ill power t o con trol t hefr a ctions in t he futur e.

Bed jackets for the Lincoln Air Base are being packed by three Lincoln high girls. They are, from left to right, Ruth Ann Ellis, Janice Campbell and Bonnie Debe. These jackets are made primarily by the home economics sewing classes with help from various clubs a.nd organizations. Fifty jackets have been completed so far and are being packed. This work is done through the Red Cross.

The girls in the different home economics classes took the initiative in making these and also the different clubs, particularly the Girl Reserves have volunteered exceptionally well and sewed after achooL · The buttons used .are those collected last semester by the student body and are 1-inch in diameter.
The first 25 of the bedjackets were completed before Christmas, but the buttonholer has been out of commission since November and slowed up the production consid· erably. The last 25 are now being competed. At least 50 more bedjackets are expected to be made later this semester if the cloth can be obtained. Any girls interested in contributing their service to this worthy cause for the soldiers at the Base are asked to come to 116 either Tuesday or Thursday nights after school.
From the Hi-Point of View BY PHYLLIS MORTLOCK. American forces in Tunisia have had their baptism of fire and Marahal E..Win Rommel is in full retreat. In the· extraordinary turn cit eventS, t he i:.hree Get'riian divisions, mighty units, were thrown back 75 miles. Radio Berlin was so confident that it announced Rommel had already gained his desired territory. Disdaining to stop and consolidate his position and supply line, he tried to make a local victory, an offensive. The allies,. instead of losing their heads, waited until the right moment and then struck bac·k with all the power behind America and Britai.n. The Richelieu, bent but unbowed queen of the French fleet, reported for repairs at the Brooklyn navy yard last week. The Richj!lieu was torpedoed at Dakar after the fall of France, and again while helping throw back General De Gaulle's la'n ding attempt. The Richelieu was accompanied by the destroyers Fantasque and Terrible and light cruiser Montcalm.
Leader of the nazi labor front, Dr. Robert Ley, has ordered that German jokers no longer poke fun at the nazi party. Instead, aJI true N0r<iics are advised to warn, '•it iss not funny, Hans." Flying Fortresses and Libera~ tor bombers made sweeping raids on the great German naval base of Wilhelmshaven last week. What made this something new · was' the .fact that reporters went along for the first t ime in American overseas bombing history. Considerable enemy resistance wa s @ncountered. Only seven of our bombers were lost. Generalissmo Chiang Kai-shek appealed to the people of Thailand, (Siam) in a recent broadcast to revolt against the fatal occupation of their country by t he Japanese. He said emphatically, the day for you to save Thailand is drawing near." A smap ilJ. equipped Chinese army was gaining territory against the enemy along the 14,000 mile front in China's interior, even as Chiang spoke.
Inez Cook Writes Article For Ma~nzine, Tells of New Teaching System in L.H.S. Miss Inez M. ·cook, the head of the mathematics department in Lincoln high school, is the writer of an article in "The Mathematics Teacher," the official journal of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. . Miss Cook's article "Developing Reflective Thinking Through Geometry," is a report of an experiment with reference to teaching reasoning taken in Lincoln high school. " Mathematics teachers have long maintained that one of the principal contributions of demonstrative geometry to general education, is the development of logical reasoning," was the opening statement in the article. "The teacher should consider whether the teaching techniques employed have led pupils to think more clearly, to weigh evidence critically, to accept conclusions cautiously, and to discover and prove relationships, not only in geometry but also in everyday situations involving scientific thinking." In attempting to meet this challenge, a group of mathematics teachers at Lincoln high school felt that improvement might be achieved by reorgan' their .classroom procedure a.long the following lines: "L Introduce, through the use of everyday situations, the reasoning patterns necessary for an un-

As the geometry situations become more complex, parallel them, so far as possible, with like situations from non-geometrical material, interweaving the t wo so that each one is an aid in understanding the other. 3. Make the transfer of tra,ining a conscious and continuous process-from geometric to nongeometric problems and vice versa. 4. Through the use of many and varied types of materials help the pupils to recognize the r.easoning patterns of geometry in everyday thinking." An experiment was conducted with eight teachers including nongeometric materfal in their work and revising their . procedure .. Three teachers continued the usual, traditional classroom procedure. "At the close of the semester it was found that both groups had made considerable gain in their ability to reason in non-geometric situations, but the experimental group showed a gain of about 30 per cent greater ~an that 'made by the control group." The article was concluded, "Pupils in the experimental group, . while devoting only about threefourths as much time to geometry material, were able to do slightly better in geometry achievement than the group devoting all ·the time· to geometric material!

Pr~-induction Course ls No~ in Full Swing
Will Be Valuabl~ When Entering Service Pre-induction, a new course, is now in full swing. Started this semester, the course is designed to introduce pre-inductees to m any new fields that they will need in the army . On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays the boys go to physical fitness classes, while ori Tuesdays and Thursdays they a t t end classes which have t o do with mathematics, physics, gas engines, global geography, military insignia, war aims, etc. The physica l edu cation classes under Coaches Beechner, Weyand and Worrall are the main phase of t he course. Swimming, gymnastics, a nd outdoor sports and games are the t hree divisions in these classes. In t he swimming classes the boys are taught to s t ay afloat, to enter the water without going under, to swim under water, be at home in the water with clothes on, and a little life saving. The g ymnasium classes are designed to in crease the st rength of the boys and to develope agility. Vigor ous calisthenics, relays, response drills, rope climbing, s ome marching, t umblin g and some combative activities such as han d
wrestling, are a few of the activities that take place In t hese classes. Out doors the boys lear n to follow instructions as w ell as g ive t hem. Some of the activities are: going through the obstacle course, h iking, circle bombing, tra.ck and field, seasonal games and in general, games that toughen the boys up . "T he boys . seem to like t he course very mu ch a nd they a r e very s erious a bout it because they know it is doing them good, " stated Coach Beechner. The course is showing its value by the way the boys are improving in their work. For example, boys who were doing eight on the pushups at the first of the semester are now doing around eighteen. Gas Eng·ines, Taught by Young. Julius D. Young, head of . the science qepartment, is doing his share in teaching the pre-induction course. Mr. Young is t ea:ching two divisions-gas engines and a physical science refresher. The physical science refresher i .~ a brief review of physics anci meet s t wice a week for two weeks.

Red Cross Needs Funds; Give Now For Victory While the conquered peoples of the world are fighting oppression, their weary hearta turn to the Red Cross, Our fighting men wel· come its aid in foxholes and on the battlefields of the world. Civilians, too, feel assured and protected when they see the scarlet· cross. The world knows what its quiet, unceasing work means, and most of the world honors and respects it. Again, this h~manitarian organization is •ponsoring a drive for funds. Money to buy food for the · starving, medicine fo;r the sick, a:nd bandages for the wounded i~ needed. From Moscow and Geneva, to Cairo and Chunking, cables are sent and received, requesting articles like powdered milk, dental and optical equipment, soap, sulfathiazole tablets, and hundreds of other badly needed ·articles. Every dollar you give will be a bles11ing to a war orphan or a refugee. But whether you give dollars or dimes, whether you give cash, or write a cheek, the Red CroH need!! your money. Give, and help the ' ' angel• of mercy" carry on·!
:Appreciation. For Smaller 'T hings Helps Build Morale What is a morale booster1 Most persons think of it as something to keep spirits hig·h, and a bright look for the future. But it can be anything from a dish of ice i'ream to the "Marines Hymn." Ask a six- · year-old wha.t he likes best. Chances are he'll aay chocolate ice cream. When he tastes this treat he immediately feels cheered about the
:world. A soldier in Guadalcanal, or Iceland, may think of the future upon hearing "Horue Sweet Home," or some other song to remind him of his family and friends back home. He knows that they are what he is fighting fo1·, and that some day he may see his house, and home town as it was before. A student, feeling rat her sorr y for him1elf, upon seeing the flag waving from a ·hig·h tower, feels proud and ambitious his country. A ho.usewife •:feels t hat she is doing more for her country when she saves pound after pound of· waste kitchen fa.ts. When someone sees pictures of the Washington monument, the r epresentatives and aenate in session, he feels he is more of a '\"ital part of our great couritry. This war has taught us appreciation_for many things, ·and has made us prouder than ever ·of our great heritage. Just singing ''.Over hill, over dale," seeing a movie about the marines, wat ching bombers and " Lightnings ' " zoom overhead on mighty wings of shining steel, walking a mile or two instead of riding, and really enjoying the scenery, knowing that great Jeaders of the world can convene together within a matter of days and that the encouragement of men like the President, W endell Will.kie, and Winston Churchill, and women like Madame ChiangKai-Chek and Queen Wilhelmina are all fighting for the ·same ideals, are symbols of this country that we never want to lose. Truly, these things and many others are morale builders of the highest degree.

"Do not neglect the piano, and know something of the other in· atruments of an orchestra," was the advice given to any young violinist by Professor Carl F. Steckelberg, violin teacher and also violin maker, here in Lincoln. When aa}ced how his musical career started, Dr. Steckelberg answered that it all began when he was only four years· old. ' '.For Christmu," he related, "I received a toy violin and that turned all my interests to m usic. At the . age of five, Leopold Damrosch pre•ented me with another violin, and at the age of six I made my fir.ilt public appearance which was in the p r esence of many great musicians at a ban· quet. I stood on the table and carefully played three solos. "I have met most of the great musjcian11 Of. the last generation, among them, the great Strauss and Paderewski. A J 11 o H u g o Beermann, Carl Friedberg and Kumwald in Frankfurt a. m., Petchnlkoff, a Russian violinist, Burmeister of Norway, Hoffman, Bauer, Phitzner, Elman Heigitz, Kreisler, Spalding, Zigitti and Theodore Thomas. " I hav e seen some of the fin· est Stra:divariu.s violins in exist·
ence, included are. the Messa Strad, and the Thompson Strad, one of the most outstanding vio· lins of the Strad family. Stradivarius was the great violin maker who worked from 166~ to 1835. He had many apprentices. He made violins until he was 95 years old. There were about 2,000 of his violins .still left in 1920, but many of them have been spoiled by modern violin makers who thought they could better them by scra ping them here and there." During vacation9 in Europe, he worked in the shops of Hermann, in Berlin, Germany, where many Strads belonging to the nobility were sent in the summer to be renovated (that is, the tops and backs were taken off and the old glue was washed out; then they were put together with new glue.

A Sophomore WritP~ llis Biography ( A Tragedy)
Well, in the first 'place, I was born. At least I have been .so informed by my parents. Tiley have told me that I was a beautiful baby, but of late that is a very hard fact to believe. I never sucked m y thumb, and cried very seldom. At the age of five I started to school, and through a ser~es of strattge coincidences, I have reached m y present sad state. When I was four years old I f ell from my bed one night and broke my collarbone. Except for the time when my mother dropped me on my head., I have s uffered no other injuries. My p resent m ain interest is music. I am supposed to have manifested this love at a very early age. My father has often told m e that as a baby I played with m y toes. I ha ve m ade r e· markable progre~ since then a nd m y instructor recently told m e tha t I could soon play with both h ands.·
My instructor himself is a very capable m usician, being head of the piano department of the U ni. venity of Nebraska. The reason, I am told, for my t aking from him is that he is interest ed in all types of musicians, and I offer a. very good example of one kind. The main events in m y life have been : 1. My birth; 2, w hen I learned t o talk; 3, when I s ta rted receiving inst ructions from Mr. Harrison; 4, and my becoming a cquainted with a certain person of great charms . My p lans for the future a r e very definite. I am g oing to complete high school, enter the university and continue to study until I receive a doctor's degree in music. Then after I have recovered from this and been dismissed from t he sanitarium, I am g oing to go abroad to study. Aft er that I am going t o go on t he concert 11tage the r ema inder of m y days. (All this will ha ppen i! I f inish h igh s chool.)
that he won the diamond medal, the p rize of the school; a .step higher than the first prize which was a gold m edal. He has also studied under Hugo Heermann of Frankfurt, Arno Hilf in Leipzig, also Joseph Joachim in Berlin, and Eugene. Usaye in Brussells; Bel· gium. "I believe that everyone who likes music possesses some talent for it," he stated. "I have experimented with 29 monotones and everyone developed t o where an expert hearing them play, did not quest ion thefr hearing ." He said that violin making has been his hobby for 42 years. "My jhief aim,•: he added, "is to make a perfect violin, one that responds easily and sounds well. I have succeeded to the point where I am using my own violin for con· certs instead ot a very fine Quada~ grini (Italian) which I own and used for years."

It was in the early dawn on October 1 2, 1915, that Edith Ca.veil was shot in the T ir National by the Germans as a spy. Helen Judson; a uthor of the book, "EDITH CAVELL," tells how her interest was first aroused in trying t o discover the true personality o f Edith Cavel! by George Bernard Shaw's statemen t, "She was intensely loyal to England, which she loved deeply, but above England, above Belgium, above every manmade institution she put humanity. " " E DITH CA VELL" is a book of World W ar I . Edith Ca.veil wa s sl).ot as a spy by t he Germans for helping English officers to escape from Belgium and to return to England, her n a tive country. Edith Cavel! was born in Swardest ion, E ngla nd, the da ughter of an E ng lish m¢ister . Her life a s a child was compa rably normal and when she w as grown her int erests were turned t o t he field of nursing by the great deeds of Florence Nig~tingale in the Crimean wars. She entered the London Nurses Training school and when her train ing w as finished was made matron of the SainLGilles hospital. She was greatly loved by all her nurses and accomplished much in the h ospital. She also wrote articles for nurses training. . Edith Cavell was sent to Brussels Belgium in .1 907, where she continued nursing. When the Germans took over Belgium, she nursed the wounded soldiers of the battlefield much as did F lorence Nightingale, winning their esteem and gratitude. Engaged in the dangerous work of helping the English officers, she was f inally caught. Her story, so v i•:idly written by H elen Judson, is of great interest today, especially so because of the striking similarity of the t act ics of the Germa ns of World War I and W orld War II.

History Classes Hear Speech Major Hayd.en Hughes who recently returned to the United States from England where he had been stationed, .spoke to all the fourth period h istory classes Friday, February 20, in the Lincoln high school auditorium where he told of England and the war. His son DeForrest, a junior, introduced him. A few English classes also attended. "The English people are not so talkative as the American. When you travel on a train in a small compartment which seats eight, the English just sit and look at each other, but those in Wales are like us and are easy to talk to," he remarked. Only transportation in England is by walking, taking trains, riding 'b icycles and there· are a few cars. Cars may not be left, even though it is just for a few minutes, with the m otor running without a fine of three or four pounds. He also told of the blackouts. Shades are up since they conserve on light and also on h eat. When eating in a cafe, diners wear their coats since heat is so scarce. As for the fog, Major Hughes said that all we have ever heard about it was true. H e has seen the fog so thick he couldn't see the length of his hand and the best thing for an American is t o stay at home at this time. · Yet 100 feet above, the sun shines brightly. "One thing I admire in the English is that everyone is doing his bit, even the old folks. There were only two places I didn't see women working' and tha t w.as the 'train engineers and s witch men. But women and girls load and unload t rains. They nave taken over all the other jobs a nd I 'take m y h a t off to them, they are doing a fine job. I feel that we in America could take a few lessons from them," Major Hughes declared. He came back on a small British transport manned by Chinese and they encountered a gale when even the sailors were sick. Major Hughes is home on sick

In Other Schools From the Ponca Tribune, Ponce De Leon H. S., Coral Gables, Florida) There are, to me, two kind of guy;;, And only two that I despise. The first, I'd really like to slam, The one who. copies my exam ; The other is the blank, blank, punk, That covers his and lets me flunk. In the San J ose Technical high school paper, it was recently announced tha t beginning n ext month, classes in industrial training are going to be made available to local high school girls. San Jose Tech is especially encouraging the girls because of the fad that very shortly, 60 percent of the workers in defense projects will be wom en. "Seven Sisters" was presented in December by the junior class of Isaac C. Est on high school of Michigan City, I ndian a . It will also be .given at Kearney, Neb., high school. . The home economics club of East Moline, Illinois, plans a n old time barn dance. Square dancing and two floor &hows will be the main features.

Lie trouble at rehearsals for tile junior play, "Brother Goose." When she mentions the name 'Jack," numerous male voices may announce. The cast includes three boys a nd each a nswers promptly and correctly to "Jack." The cast will have to think of some nicknames. Can anyone help them?
Eggs Expensive Says Soldier In His Letter Eggs are about $1.00 a dozen in Africa, according to Sgt. Paul Ehlers - in a letter to his cousin Jean Pierson. Paul has been stationed in Africa since- last November. "We are really getting a taste of camping out," remarked Paul, "for this site was nothing but an old stubble field 10 hours before we moved in. It belongs to a Frenchman who is farming some 1,200 acres and has relatively modern machinery, a combine and all American made implements. Says he hasn't raised a crop for two years and everything they have raised has been taken by the · Germans, so he doesn't resent us camping here." "We have quite a time with the natives. They pester us from daylight 'till dark, peddling tangerines, oranges, onions, tomatoes and eggs. We' can get about 1 Y2 dozen real nice big oranges for $1 .00 or we trade our coffee rations, sugar rations, or even some old clothes for tangerines. We are able to understand them fairly well, for they have picked up a few American words and we can catch a few of theirs. They speak a mixture of French and Spanish. They are really to be pitied, for they live in filth which is almost undescribable. Most of them go barefoot and I don't think they ever did have a bath." In Africa a dollar is worth about 75 francs and a franc is about 1 1;3 cent. "If you exchange a ten dollar bill you sure get a pocketfull of paper," said Paul. It seems the mail service is very good, in fact it's only 18 hours or so to Miami.

Army Cook Tells Of Experiences
"What a wonderful place America is! We Americans are very casual sometimes, and don't realize just what good fortune we haV.e, " writes Richard Timm to Mlss Ethel Murray. He atteltded Lincoln high • and is high school in 1933-5 now in Africa with the U. S. Navy . 'The sight of these pathetic French refugees is enough to make any one snap out of his complacency, however. For the first time I have seen hundreds and thousands of illiterate children who aren't compelled to attend school. For a short time I had my laundry done by a French family, who had three children, ranging in age from nine to twelve, working for them, working for their food, like a beggar. "What a splendid place this would be to start a school for the teaching of hygiene, both social and personal." When writing the letter, which came V mail he said he was practicing the. most popular past t ime in North Africa, writing letters. This pastime serves two main purposes, the first being the fact that it gets the boys mind off of the war, and the second that it serves to inform his friends as to w hat he is doing. "To make this pastime ideal," .he explains, "we. should have lette rs to answer, but we don't complain too mu ch about this as we have had mail once already."
Franklin is a lieutenant in the Army Air Force and pilots a huge army transport plane in the Auatralian theater of war. When first detailed for far-eastern duty he was trained in the Hawaiian Islands. He has been stationed in New Caledonia and New Guinea at different times, as well as in Australia. Frank writes back that he "likes the air force fine" and urges more fellows to get the right schooling to join. Orville is also in the Army Air Corps and is a photographer which accords him the rank of staff sergeant. He is stationed aoniewhere in North Africa and reports that they are all getting the best of care and the "entertainment when we have time for it is just swell." Orville writes that soldiers ov~rseas get V-mail letters much faster: than the common type and that every soldier likes to get lots of them, especially from home. Paul Koenig, '38, has been promoted to the rank of sergeant. At Camp Forest, Tennessee, where he , is stationed, the boys sing as they m arch. He is the leadet of his company in singing, and he also plays in the camp band. While in Lincoln, Mr. Koenig played w}th the Lincoln Symphony orchestra, the university band and many local dance bands. He was also a member of the men's chorus for two years, and formerly directed the Lincoln high prep band. Last fall he was invited to be guest conductor of one of his own compositions at a Lincoln high vesper concert. He was given a turlough to make this appearance.

', During the end of the season, the Links have. rolled over both Crete and. Northeast. The game with' Crete was a 35-21 walkaway, although Crete kept within five points until the last period when the Links romped awaY. McArthur was high-point man with 10, while Valentine held up the Crete five with 6. The Northeast game was a rugged victory for Lincoln on Feb. 9, on the coliseum maples and netted Lincoln the city championship. It was a hard fought g-ame all the way, with the quarter seeing the Link11 .with a 3-1 lead. McArthur wa-s. held scoreless an · first period by Squires who turned in ii. fine game.

Since that time, it has continued to flourish, and at the present, it has reached . the· peak. of its popu· larity.

The Links basketball five .fell to Falls City with the score of 27-22, while the Reserves ertded their seaso:ri with 11 wins out of 14 games. Beatrice lost to the Red and Black tahksters 37-28, and three days later, Omaha Tech was victorious over swimmers. Prospects of talented golfers were in view. Ascension Gonzales, Nebraska Golden Gloves' bantamweight champion, was "big talk." Les Oldfield, ex"Links swimmer, lost the first race of his career ·in a three state meet, held in Wisconsin. It was two years ago that the Red and Black swimmers were defeated by those of . Maui higb. school, from the territory of Ha· waii, by a score of 30-27.

Have you lost any thing in and around school, this y ear? If so you have a g ood chance of findjng it . if you go to the bookroom, 138, a nd describe it to Robert Landergren, the book c_lerk. Many valuable things have been turn ed in to him, such · as ,a beautiful turquoise necklace, a cameo ring and two pa ir of glasses. Some other things w hich have been turned in to the book room are : A P eppers' hat, a pair of gi rl's overshoe-boots~ a pair of b'o y's gymnasium shoe~, a pair. of gir l 's gym nasium shoes; a pair of girl's oxfords, a lunch pail and a baseball glove. Many smaller and less valuable things ca n be found in the bookroom also. If you have ever lost a glove it is probably in the bookr oom as t here are some 75 odd gloves there. Also in 138 are about 30 pencils of different s izes and shapes, 30 lost school books, 15 fountain pens and s everal fountain pen caps, 12 notebooks (zipper and plain), 10 purses, 10 headscarfs, about 8 com p a cts an assortment of costume jewelry and t r inkets, 7 c·o in purses with no m oney in them, 3 glass cases, an .assortment of keys, 2 pair of earmuffs, artd a pencil cas9, full of pens and pencils.

So, don;t forget, if y ou h ave !Ost something, see if .it has been turned in to 138 or Mr. Lander· gren may have to build an annex.

Girls, do you want to do something really "big?" According to Brig. Gen. Guy N. Henninger, Victory gardens will be ver y essential. You may think them just "childish," but now with all this rationing of foods; fresh fruits and vegetables will be just the thing. Gardening furnishes a great deal. of good exercis.e, to keep you physically fit at the same time.

World Peace Ialks Given Debaters Round Out Plans on Discussions For English Classes Debaters of Lincoln high are rounding out. plans for talks on world peace which are to be presented before the English classes of the school. The plan was initiated by ;Miss Sarah T. Muir, head of the. English department, and E. B. Phillips, de.bate coach. One symposium,· or better known as panel discussion, was held sorne tirrie ag<:> before Miss Elizabeth Grone's English 11 class with fine results. First the debaters discussed the problem of world peace and then questions from the group were taken, Pebaters participating so far, all seniors, h.a ve been Thomas· Sorenson, Maurine Evnen and Wayne Swift. Mr. Phillips hopes that such panel discussions can be held be-· fore several. English classes i.n the -near future and believes that such d.i scussions will start many students thinking over the great question of world peace which must be answered by the younger ge-neration.
From the Hi-
Point of View PHYLLIS MORTLOCK.
The biggest armada ever sent against New Guinea, the Jap convoy of 10 warships and 12 transports, was wiped out last week in the Battle of the Bismark sea. The 22 ship battle fleet, totaling 90,000 tons was the second largest japanese concentration in World War II. Almost 80 nipponese "planes, acting as a:n "umbrella" were downed, with the amazing cost of only one American bomber and three fighters. One of the victors, a pilot, grim.l y said, "There wasn't anything on · the sea but a few scattered rafts and lifeboats." Stark tragedy emerges from the gloomy, twisted streets of the Polish ghettos. The nazis have made good their boast to "exterminate the Jews in Europf." The ghettos only a year ago teeming with frightened, bewildered, but just the same alive · people, are now graphically called ghost towns. This is due partly to deportation but more to mass execution. The only persons of Jewish blood who were able to escape were 150 children. One hundred and fifty from millions. -.__ Long a· closely guarded secret, at last the truth is told. Prime MlniJ1ter Churchill has battered his way through a "mild but dangerous" attack of pneumonia. Expected to be anything but a model · patient, even by his friends. Winnie's medic is keeping quiet. "There are relatively few recoveries found from this type ·of illness after the age of 60," remarked a pulmonary specialist. The prime minister, who is a ripe 68, as usual . rose above ali things ordinary, passed the crisis and quoting from the latest bulletin "had been allowed his first cigar."

First Reports of Semester Will Be Given To Pupils Six weeks have passed since the second semester began. Six weeks, Q.uring which pupils and teachers alike have had a chance to become acquainted with their new ~mrrounclings. Six weeks in which the ability of a pupil has been shown to some extetJ.t to his instructor. Now, at the end of this seemingly short length of time, reports of marks are again being distributed. ''Grade slips! What do they show 1'' exclaim many pupils. Or ''The teachers never tell you what you can do to improve l" state others. How many students realize what these reports are really for, the importance of them T Too few. There are several classes of pupils in rngard to marks. First, there are those who always get ls and 2s and always expect ls and 2s. They are students in the ftfllest sense of the word, although there are always those who receive high marks seemingly without study. This type of person knows what is going to be written on his report. "I enjoy Betty in class, " ·or ".A helpful student." They receive marks without feal' or doubt, and with a calm assurance that will all be alike, and that no furthe1· study will really be needed. Just a matter of course. Then there is the average or above average student. He or she makes marks ranging from ls to 4s, usually. Grade slips are pieces of paper to be awaited with slight nervousness. If a grade is higher than was expected, the pupil tries to keep up his standard. If it is lower than expected, he or she tries. to raise it, rnany · times wondering why it was so low. The mark received early in the semester often changes later on. For pupils like these, a careful check :perhaps with the teacher on past work would be very helpful, both to pupils and the teacher, as it helps the teacher to become better acquainted with the pupil. Then there are those who continually receive below average grades. They think that because they have received them before, they always will. They have no incentive toward. better marks. Perhaps they have a grade slip complex! In this day and age with education, and self-betterment foremost in the minds of all, these pupils should try to be examples of hard workers and show examples of better marks. For these and all pupils grade reports should be a determining incentive toward a well-rewarded education in life. If a teacher has commented on the slip, ask· him or her about your work, You '11 get a helpful answer, and if YOll; have th~ will, you~ work cal} lead !ou to ~ higher achievement of all you are domg, now.
Eyes Of All Nebraska A.re Upon You, Lincoln High When the state basketball
tournament
op~ns 'l'hursday, :March 11 at the university
coliseum, the eyes of all cage fans in the state of Nebraska will be centered on Lincoln high. As the defending championship team is always . the one to beat, the Links squad will also be the target for many schools to shoot at because of its impressive season record of 18 victories against 1 loss. Thus it seems the Lincoln team has a heavy load to bear. This burden can be lifted if everyone of us will purchase a ticket to the games and cheer our team to victory. Many persons over the state would have a. better impression of LinGoln high if we would pack the coliseum to the rafters and give our team every bit of our support, while at the same time show our rivals the best sportsmanship we can muster. Everyone owes it to our team really to get behind it in this all important event of the cage season. If the Sons of the Red and Black come through as is expected, you will want to be one of the many proud persons who can truthfully say, "I helped cheer our team to win the state championship.'' If they lose. you will still see some fine basketball games.

Excellent Tax Report By Bobby Cook In Miss Beynon's Economics Class
Lest We Forget
As the emphasis this week, is I American people should pay heavon patriotic service pertaining to taxes, the economics class' solutions
may
well
be
considered.
Bobby Cook submitted this one to Miss Alice B. Beynon, in.structor: By June, 1943, the United States will be paying out 78 billion dollars
to the war effort. Every day the national qebt is increasing. Something has to be done to collect this money through taxes. I think several taxes should be increased and others should be en. forced. The first tax I think that should be increased is the excise tax. The excise tax is a tax levied by the government on goods produced within the country. Stamp taxes on cigarettes and alcoholic beverages are the leading excis~ taxes. I am sure, the A.merican people should be willing to pay a higher tax on those commodities to help their government out of debt. I also think we should have more and higher indirect taxes. Most of the people of the United States do not know they pay an · indirect tax anyhow, so it won't make any difference. For example, the indirect tax on motion picture tickets. If the government in" creased the tax about $.05 on the regular price of a ticket it wouldn't make a great deal of difference. More than one million people go several times a year. The estate and inheritance tax could be increased a small amount. Since the tax is based on the ground that inheritance is not a right but a privilege, I believe the
ily for 1this privilege because few countries give this privilege to its people. The luxury tax is one of the highest taxes ther~ is, but it should be increased. The American people have more luxuries than any other people and they should pay for them. If the people of the United States have time for luxuries, they should be made to pay for them heavily. The corporation taxes should be strl.ctly enforced. Laws should be made and passed whereby corporations shouldn't be able to escape paying tf!Xes. Heavy taxes should be put on the profits the corporations make. No individual should wish to make large profits when our country is at war or in debt. A federal sales tax should be placed on all commodities, food and clothing. The main objection, to this kind of tax is, the people don't like it. The people will have to get used to a lot of things before this war is over. A federal sales tax would reduce the public debt considerably. In Chicago, Illinois, there is a $.03 sales tax on each dollar. When I was living there I got so used to it that it did not bother me. The people of the United States would get used to it if it was once installed. Several of the taxes do not affect me, but I am sure I would feel the same way if my country was in danger. I believe that the taxes I have suggested should be increased only until the government has reduced its debt considerably.
Topic of the Week, Taxes for War, Citizens Share Expense of Defense Not many, if any, high school students will pay taxes this year, but some day it will be their duty to do so, just as their parents do now. It is their duty now to know why taxes are paid. Read and consider the following: Vast expenditures and heavy taxes are necessary accompaniments ot war, citizens should share war costs according to their ability to pay. 1. The war requires the expend· iture of vast amounts of money. The president recommended to congress that 108 billion dollars be appropriated during the year July 1, 1943, to June 30, 1944. Government expenditures caused by i.1v• war will continue long after the war l.s ended. 2. Economists think that we should levy heavy taxes and pay as much of the war costs now as possible. Heavy taxation is one of the means of checking a general increase in prices which results in reducing the purchasing power of people's incomes. Taxation is one method of returning for public use excessive profits or pay which may have resulted from war conditions. 3. Every single person who had an income of $500 or more in 1942 and all married persons who had incomes of $1200 or more must file an income tax "return" before . March 15. Persons with large incomes have to pay taxes on ·a larger proportion of their income than persons with small incomes.. They also have to pay higher rates on the part that is taxable. In this way the tax is adjusted to the person's ability to pay. 4. The victory ta.,c is a new feature. of the federal income tax. All citizens who have incomes of more than $624 in 1943 will pay a victory tax. The amount a per"~"' will pay during the year may be deternn.. .,~ hv subtracting $624 from his total income for the year and finding 5 percent of the remainder. 5. The government bcrrows money .. to use for war expenditures by selling• war bonds and stamps. Citizens are urged to buy as many bonds and stamps as they can, to use at least 10 percent of their incomes in this way. When large numbers of people use a part of their incomes to buy war bonds this helps to prevent inflation. The government could, if it wished, borrow money from banks and persons of great wealth, but such a policy would tend to cause inflation, Buying war bonds and
stamps is a good way 'to save money for a college education or other desirable purposes. 6. Paying taxes for support of the war and buying war bonds and stamps' are forms of patriotic service. Taxation is a method by which individuals can - put their money into a common fund and thru action of the government do something they could not do as individuals. While this. is always an important privilege to consider, i)e application in wartime is essential to the nation's survival. The topic for next week is to be victory gardens. Rationing Complaints.
"Why this tire rationing started is beyond me," Said a lady with her dress, too far above her· knees, I didn't start this war and I just don't see Why this rationing should affect poor little me. My boy friends are in the 1ervice And I think that's enough, If two come back on furlough, It's really very tough. I have to have a little fun, I can't just sit at home,
And now the men are very 8C" ""'" And I hate to go ak.:i..:. That's why I need my little car, So I can roam about. As I said· before, I didn't start this War, And I hate to .sit home and pout." "Oh I understand your side, my dear, 0
Said a lady passing by,"But if tire rationing has to be, Help out, please won't you try? I have two sons in the service
and One was sent a<;ross I never hear from him anymore For I heard that he was lpst. Yes, you should have your little fun, But how about our boys? They're giving their life for their country. Not just their little toys. I know you didn't start this war, We all know who's to blame. And when our boys get through with them, They'll never shou• up ...gam. A.nu now my dear Young Lady, I hope you understand, Just why there's tire rationing, To help poor Uncle Sam." -Mary- Lou Reason.
"Africa is mystic; it is wild; it is a sweltering inferno; it is a photographer's paradise, a hunter's Valhalla, an escapist's Utopia. It is what you will, and it withstands all interpretations. It is the last vestige of a dead world, or the cradle of a shiny new one. To a lot of people as to yourself, it is just 'home.' It is all these things, but one thing-it is never dull," thus writes Beryl Markham in her autobiography, "West With the Night." Raised among the natives of Africa, Beryl Markham learned very early in life the dangers of the jungles and plateaus of British East Africa. Her father, owner of a farm for training horses, taught her much in their w~s until she became an expert in their care. She was the only woman to receive a professional trainer's license from the Jockey club of Kenya. She loved her horses and always took the best of care of them. They won her races and they lost her races, but she always took care of them and made success of her occupation. When finally she became interested in: flying she ,established a brillant record of the first woman to fly mail in the world. She flew over the jungles and deserts to bring· serums to the doctors of small jungle-Jocked towns and and made emergency landings in almost impossible. places guided only by the flares of kerosene lamps .in the dark of night.
Well, here we are again. To those who care, I'm very sorry about the column not being in last week, but I forgot and left my notebook at home. Charla Sharrick has a system all her own ( ? ) for remembering things. She lays everything in a chair and also writes herself notes. There's only one thing wrong with J;his system, she usually lays the notes down some place and her mother finds them and throw• them away. Rhea Rice says, "If I don't · put my books on the desk, I always find a huge sign on the dining room table which says, 'Where did I put my KILWOYS ?' " "I write everything I want to remember in a little black book in my purse," explains Shirley Klingel. "I'm sure to see it when I open my purse any one of the hun• dreds of times during the day."

To the Editor: After school recently the street car conductor tried to accommodate all 94 of the Lincqln high school students, by taking enough time to load them on the small street car. After almost everyone was on, one .of the boys in the back of the street car, unscrewed a light bulb, and threw it toward the front of the car. Breaking on the ceiling, directly over a woman's head, glass flew in all directions. Suffering from shock, the woman became faint, and lucky enough, ~ doctor was just passing and he drove her home. Not much later, two other Lincoln high boys pulled the trolley of the tracks and someone had to be sent out to fix it. Such occurences seem to be very common every time a large· crowd of Lincoln high students is on or near a street car. There's no sense in preaching that this is war and i1i;·ht b:..;lbs are ha.I'd to · get, because everyone should know that by now. .But that has nothing to do with it, because war or no war, we should all respect other persons and their property.

In the Classes Legion Contest Is This Weeli
Members of Miss Florence Jenkins fifth period English 10 class, who have
started debating and
who were not mentioped in last Wednesday's Advocate are: Lyle Wright and Walter Bergstrasser, debating the affirmative against the negative team of Alma Paul and Lee Cartner. The other affirmative team consists of Paul Brusnahan and Charles Rost deDonna Haas. The pupils are debating the question, "Resolved that a World Federation Should be Adopted After the War." How to prepare sweet breads, a meat specialty, was demonstrated to twenty girls and two boys of Mrs. Kather ine Henninger's period three home economics 11 class. The students have also been studying different ways of preparing other meat specialties. Seven students in consumers goods class, under the instruction of Mrs. Katherine Henninger, home economics teacher, are doing research, getting their information from magazines and the rationing board. This week they have touched upon Ration Book No. 2, point system, and the pro-and con about rationing. The consumers good class purpose is to gather information useful to other classes al'l'd home rooms for discussion, to enable the students of Lincoln high school to realize the importance of rationing. The seven students are June Wesley, Dorothy Welch, Billie Lee Heath, Darlyne Mueller, Charles Campbell, Sheldon Kushner and Wesley Morriaon. Duane Fifer showed his history class a German mark that at o ne time was worth $24,000,000! It was issued in 1923 by the German republic that was established after World War I . 'Only one side of the mark is printed and when held up to a light, small evenly place water marks can be seen. Duane bought the mark for 25 cen ts ffom a friend. Many such marks were found whe n a n old aafety deposit box in a bank in Little Rock, Arkansas was open ed.

It takes 12 for a frock (dress), 6 for a blouse, 8 for shoes, 4 for st,0ckings, 8 for a slip, 27 for a coat, 3 for a hat, 5 for a bathing suit.

Ali the excitement caused by air planes flying over Lincoln is not all in vain, according to Mrs. E. B. Wagner, mother of Donna Wagner, junior. One afternoon Mrs . Wagner heard an a irpla,ne flying low over the house so she went outside to see it. The plane, a B-17, circled the house five times, dipped its w ings and flew on. Since her son, Marvin " Bud" Wagner is a co-pilot of a B-17, Mrs. Wagner s uspect ed he was in the plane. The next day she received a telegra m from B ud saying he had flown over Lincoln the previous day. H e stated that while .circling his home he couid see three persons below, his mother and two neighbors. Bud wrote of the thrill he got out of flying over Irving junior high school, as he could see a number of students watching the plane. Bud is a second lieutenant st ationed in South D akota w ith ~he Army Air Corps.

• * * According to ·Major Hayden D. Hughes, because of the considerable leather shortage in England, resoling and half soling of shoes are completely out of the question. Instead, a small patch is put over the worn spot or hole. Just enough to suffice. As long as our leather shortage isn't quite that acute, don't use that for an excuse against hiking. Hiking, alt hough at first tiring, can really be very enjoyable. It is a good healthy exercise and sometimes turns out to be very adven turous. So, how about it?

Five coyotes and 150 pack rabbits w ere killed during a wolf hunt at Eagle, Nebraska, Sunday, February 28. Attending t his successful hunt were Jim Worcester, Dwigh t Griswold, j r. and R ay S immons. "Our party started early Sunday afternoon for Eagle," stated Jim, "an d a rr ived there about 12:45 ." There were some 150 waiting at Eagle for the trucks which' were to take them to the hunting grounds. " W hen the four trucks arrived, we headed east about three m iles to a s ection in which coyotes were k nown to be. Each truck t ook one side of the section, dropping men off abou t every 100 yards or so. At a given lime we started walking and gradually closing in until, when we n ea red the center we were practically shoulder to shoulder. It was essential to keep t he line straight and all close in together so there would be no h oles f or the coyotes to r un thru." There w ere three sectional h u nts. In the first hunt one coyot e was killed and at least one got away. About 75 jack rabbit s were killed. In t he other hunts one a nd two coyotes were killed r espectively. Jim obtained a live horned owl which was wounded slightly in the wing.

Led by "Baskets" McArthur, Lyle Weyand's Red a nd Black five slipped by the basket-mad Car di· nals of Crete by a narrow margin of three points 43-40 in the class A semi-finals Friday n ight at the Ag college. The Cardinals, led by Gordon Tonniges and Gene Valenta, showed the R ed and Black their fire power all through t he game. The Tonniges-Valenta combination won most of Crete's points, until the last quarter w hen the combination was broken up by· the fouling out of Tonniges. Crete jumped to a quick lead as Papik whipped in the first score of the game, and it wasn't until five minutes had elapsed that McArthur dropped in the t ying m arker . Dick Lodge aQ.ded at t he charity circle to give the. Links a one point lead. Dave Krcmarik then . hit from t he field to w iden the margin, and Mac sifted in three efforts . to make the score ten t o four at the end of the initial stanza. Then the Tonniges, Valenta and Eldon Franek combination began to click for the Cardinals w ith an unbelievable array of shots from all points and corners of the court. At the halftime the. boys from Crete lead the Red and · Black 24-23. I n t he t hird quarter both t ea ms were .e ven ·until the .last few minutes of play when Crete slipped a gratis shot and a field goal to lead 33-29. Wit h the end near and both defeat or victory as far a way as your shadow. "Lanky Don" paved the Links win. Morrie Gal~er opened the fourth stanza with two pointer and McArthur added two free throws to tie it up, 33 all. The Cardinals had it sealed a t 38-38 a little later, but McArthur's two hook shots, as the t ime w a s running out, decided the contest. . Krcmarik ' and Lodge did a ball h a ndler's job, if there e_ver was one in the Friday night follies. Jim Swanson patrolled the back court and did a swell job on keeping the Cardinals away from that hoop.

Gardens For Victory A re .Essential And Enjoyable When thinking of the things you have done and the things you are planning to do to help your country, you might have thought of a victory garden, which is an ideal way to do something very useful. If a backyard or neig11borhood lot is available this makes a perfect plot for a garden. If a' group wishes to start a garden, this .is so much the better, as more can be accomplished and it is more fun with a group. Not only is this profitable and interesting work for yourself, and not only does it aid in producing fresh vegetables, but it provides exercise as well. If you haven't done much in the way of exercise at school and. little more outside of school. hoeing and planting will give a great deal of outdoor exercise. With driving restrictions and vacations in other states greatly curtailed, an.cl some pleasure like bicycling restricted somewhat, a victory garden offers many people grand oppor· tunities for an interesting summer. So .start thinking about that patch of earth . in your yard, start rounding up some of your friends, and plan your garden for victory, now 1
:Ame,.ican Newspapers Are Keepers of the Fla1ne Ours is a country of freedom, freedom of every kind and of everything that libertyloving men seek. Our churches are places of holy worship, our government is a scat of the highest leadership and halls where fairest justice is delivered. But di.cl you know that once, long ago, a man in this country was put behind cold bars of iron for printing the truth? Yes, back in the eighteenth century, when our nation was being formed from the blood of pioneers, the toil of New England labore~·s and hard working farmers from the Atlantic coast, and southern planters, the government thought that it could use illegal methods for '"' gaining its own luxuries. Because of one man's desire for wealth and power, another was put in a lonely prison cell. This mari was John Peter Zenger, who had the courage to tell the world what he knew about his government. This act did not stop the violent magnetic words from coming to life in1 blazing print, for l\I r. P etcr Zenger smuggled out his stories and his wife and a t1·1rnty friend kept pr in ting the newspapers in a clingy basement. The stor~' ended happily, because an influential man saved the life of John Peter Zenger, and helped to save the life of freedom of the press. In tom-'np parts of the world, today, pllpers of faith) and determination are being· printed in spite of the risk of losing lives. What does this prove 'I It proves that even though the lights have gone out over many parts .of the world, there is one shining beacon, one eternal flame, that shall never die. That glowing light is tru th! Truth, that was guarded by our ancestors, pro tected and valued above everything else; truth that is displayed proudly and courageously in free newspapers all over the globe; truth that will be preserved and cherished by all the world, forever. As the convincing words of John P eter Zenger came forth into papers from his prison cell, seemingly like magic, so little brave bands in darkened Emope are striving through the underground press to keep this flame bmning brightly, until th e dark forces of evil are extinguished from the earth. Until the other lights go on ag·ain forever, free men, whether in America or "over there" will always keep one flame burning·. This is the eternal flame, truth, held proudly by the Statue of Liberty, who gives lier messages to the whole world of liberty, to be etemal keepers of ·the flame.
St. Patrick's Day Is One Gay Colors And Old Songs "When Irish Eyes are Smiling," many music groups will be singing lustily. For today is St. Patrick's day. " Doesn't everything look green, today 1" some students might exclaim.. All the Kelly sweaters and shirts, will he worn to celehrnte, in a small way, the day St. Patrick rid Ireland of snakes. Today, Ulster, along with other : freedomloving countries, is fighting for its shamrocks and gay village tunes. It is helping to rid the world of other ' 'snakes".

Artificial Respiration Instruction Gained By Red Cross Proves Valuable In Emergencies · It was one of t hose peaceful Sunday afternoons in the fall when all a person wants to do is read the Sunday papers and loaf. The ash trees along the Missouri river at Nebraska City were wearing red and gold apparel from Jack Frost's store,, It was here a car rolled across the bridge. Its driver, noticing that no one was coming; stopped the car and went over to the railing t o observe better the peaceful valley stretching for miles around h im. He put one foot on one of the slanting braces of the railing and was leaning there when sudd enly the foot on the l;lrace slipped! B efore he could let out · a single cry he had failed through the railing and was hanging fifty f eet over t h e Missouri river with one a rm w edged between two pieces of angle iron. He s truggled to get his other hand on the bridge. Then suddenly it was there and he was pulling himself u p , t rying to pull the trapped arm out of its position by force. He was pulling. desperately with that inhuman strength t hat comes to persons in time of distress when crack! a pain ran through his arm and he faded int o unconsciousness and slipped backwards into the r iver. Mearlwhile the t olltaker at t h e end of the bridge n oticed the ca r parked . halfway across it. He mumbled someth ing to himself about Sunday drivers witH C cards
and s t arted out to flag the driver on. He saw the driver of t h e car, now standing b y the railing, try to gather all t he a ir aroun d him into his arms, then he disappeared through the railin g. The attendant's leisurely gait broke into a run. He t hought, "The Red Cross ins t ructor said t o be calm, whatever you do." He saw the man struggle a bit; then he seemed t o faint and fall back into the river. The attend an t ran up to the spot the man had fallen from, swiftly took off h is outer cloth~. t h anking God f or the innumerable times he had been made to do that in t went y seconds. He then dived the f ifty feet into the water. "N ow where is that guy?" he thought. He would have to surface div e for t h e man. So down he went, . ten, maybe fifteen feet, no sign of the man. "Gotta go upstr eain a little bit towards the bridge; hard work, but better do it. Gotta go up for breath soon, lungs h urt. What's this? Its an arm. N ow I gotta get up for air. Up there where the light is ; that's where the a ir is. Oh, gosh! t h is fellow weighs a ton . Air, air, air , gotta get some quick. Whew ! That r as s ome dive. Now to get t his guy to shore.

An' though we really did s ome talking They sure thought we were wealthy. They thought that we should take a cab, But that was not for us So we had a big confab And dated on a bus, But buses soon were crowded By people without fuel An though for days they pouted We walked it as a rule, But now they're goin' to ration shoes There'll be no way to go, I guess it's the boys who always lose, We've gone from woo to woe.

Community Urged To Have Gardens Gar dening suggest s an opportunity not only for pat riot ic· s ervice, but an opportunity for pupils to become a part of an exception ally well-oragnized and important community undertaking. This undertaking grows out of the need for thousands of gardens i.n Lincoln to increa~e food production. The Lincoln public schools, using funds supplied by the U nited States g overnment through the state department of voc ational ed ucation w ill hold classes in all parts of the city to give instruc· tions to gardener s. A series of classes extending from March 7 to May 30 h as been sche duled. Gard ening is a f ine ex per ience for a boy or girl w ho has w hat it takes. Gardening is a j ob for a person who has ability t o plan, to learn what to do an d w hat not t o do; to use good judgment. T he battle on the garden front is a steady one until late fall. In or· der to do one's duty a worker must stay "for the duration" of the growing season . There will be experienced gardeners in each school district to whom pupils may go for advice and suggestions. The L incoln p ublic schools, co-operating w ith a number. of community agencies are g iving instruction s t o a g r eat many people t his spring in order that they may be a ble to g ive help and adv ice to garden ers, young and old.

Lincoln Grabs State When Lincoln high rolled up 46 points in its easy wl.n over Lexington Thursda y evening, it marked the most points scored by any team in the opening day of the thirty-third annual Nebraska high achoo! basketball championships. Although it's unofficial, Don McArthur's 27 points against Lexington may be a new individual scoring record for one game if the scoring for past games could be found. GOING BACK. A year ago Lincoln took the Falls City. five 49-22, smashed Beatrice Orangemen 60-34, and .slaughtered N.o rtheast 44-24. .The tankers of the Capital City submerged the Beatrice mermen to a 37-29 splashing. The Links five were in the midst of the state cha mpionship battle. The Red and Black was paired against York for the first game, while Northeast, Omaha South and Creighton Prep were awarded berths.

oy Night Produced This Junior Play Committees Announced Production Is Due April 16 Members of the four junior play committees have been announced by Miss Nancie Jane Wallace and Miss Jennie Lou Piper, sponsors of the class of '44, and Winifred Lockhart Ayers, director of "Brother Goose," which is scheduled for production April 16. In addition to.the committees, Robert Manning jl.as been chosen as stage manager, and his assistant is Eugene Sundeen. Van Westover is ~he business manager. '. Serving on the advertising committee are, Mary Dye, chairman; Jean Davenport, Thelma MiUer, Connie Cathcart, Joan Sanders, James Mason, Lois Heuser, Tom Bloom, Carolea Miller, Marion Splichel and Roger Boeka. The aysembly committee consists of Kii.thleen Blue, chairman, B etty Burke, Ellen Dietze, Harlan Rhodes, Jack Lynn and Kathryn Ellithorpe. Dick Capek is chairman of the property committee. Working with him will be Kathleen Portsche, Betty Ann Shilham and Mary Louise Gatch. The make-up committee is made up of Robert Chadderdon, Lorraine Brill and Jackie Gordon. Jean Zehrung is to be the student director. The make-up committee is going to have quite a time making those fuzz cuts lie d own. As most of the boys have them, they are quite ' a problem. The living room set which was bought by the Mummers will be used again. Quick changes between 'the first and second acts will · make good use of the proputY ·c ommittee '1 10 winrlow" and other things have to be changed. Rehearsals will be more often after Joy Night is over, ~ince the cast of the play has had the stage only once or twice.
Don't Be a Bottleneck; Finish Model Airplanes Working on model airplanes during home room period and. their off assembly periods, two girls, Arlene Deer and Viola Backman, have completed one plane in one week's time. C. E. Evans urges pupils with unfinished airplanes to f inish them immediately and bring them to the shop.
From the HiPoint .of View By Phyllis Mortlock. German cities have been given a beautiful pasting this week. Essen, Munich, Stuttgart, N uernberg, Berlin, all show the alter effects of a night out with the R. A. F. Essen, site of the gigantic Krupp arms factories had 75 percent of its precise machinery of war smash ed. Nuernberg, ancient gothic walled city, surrounded by war plants, was bombed repeatedly. Munich, the birthplace of the nazi party and a shrine of precious treasures, w as blitzed five times. Stuttgart, rendezvous of the A uslandsdeutschen, Germa ns living abroad, w ho met there every year to scheme their fiftheolumn activities, was crush ed. From the s unny South Pacific this week, comes a hint of r apidly expanding Jap air-power. For months· only tiny groups and stragglers appeared over allied bases in New Guinea and the Solomons . Now, suddenly 26 bombers and 11 fighters swarm out of the clouds and 40 raiders attack the bases. Japan's air might, seeming ly almost extinct, is powerful once more and a force to reckon with. Cheer of the week: Sydney Leibbrandt, little k n own ace saboteur, on trial for high treason in Pretoria, South Africa, was condemned a nd sentenced to death. As h e was leaving his cell for the last mile, L eibbrandt clicked his h eels, stiffened, and his fist shot out in the nazi salute. According to Radio Dakar, h and grenades exploded in a theater in Brest, France, just as the smiling face of Adolf Hitler flashe d on the 1creen. Timely, we call it!

Personalitv Is el
Topic of Tall{ Prof. F. M. Gregg Speaks to Reserves For Fifth of Series Prof. F. M. Gregg spoke to the Girl Reserves Monday, March 15'. The title of his speech was "Paths to Personality." This was the fifth in the series of personality meetings. Professor ,..Gregg remarked that the elements of per sonality are r eally emotional elements, both physical and character. He said tha t where our physique enter ed into the picture was under the physical elemen ts and that we could do little about our attitude, but a great deal to improve our circumference. The glands which control our emotion s are the endocrine glands such as: pituitar y, pineal, thyroid, para-thyroid, t hymus, sple en, pancreas, adrenals and the gonads. All these glands have to do wit.h our emotions. There are three types of t emperaments; the Mes.sotarnics who are very muscular and when drinking liquor get drunk very quickly ; the Endrotarnics who can drink and hold more liquor than anyone else ; and the Cerebrotarnics or brainy people who never drink any liquor and are the crusaders of others. Prof essor Gregg passed out a questionnaire to the girls labeled "Your Emotional Person ality" so that they could chart themselves as to their types of p ersonality. He remarked that anyone can control his emotions by changing his per ception of the situation. "As a g irl thinketh in h er heart, so is she," Profesor Gregg st ated. In the absence of Merrell Shutt, president; Bonnie Debe, treasurer; was in charge of the meeting.

You Can All Hel.p Make Lincoln High 'Old Glory~ While thumbing through some old Reader's Digests, we come upon one of those delig·htful little things that fill up space between the end of the article and the end of the page. This particular anecdote deals with an old colored engineer on a riverboat, and how he made spotless and shining the heretofore ~reasy and dirty engine. When asked the reagon for this, he simply i·~plied, "I got a glory." It seems that vre of dear old L. H. S. could endear our beloved alma mater a little more to ourselves by making· this school "our glory.'' In :fact, the more I think of the idea, the more I like it. Have you ever noticed that when you talk to a person not connected with the school about the school, he says, "You have 8. fine basketball team,'' or ''you h~ve an excellent football team,'' etc., etc. But .he almo$t never · says, "You have a :fine school there." A little more sportsmanlike conduct at games. A little more care· about the cleanlintiss of our corridtirs. Remember that we don't go to high school. ·We go to Lincoln high school. The student body has been moaned at siMe no one knows when about their lack of school spirit, I know. But try to l6rg.et all this, a.nd make this school ''our glory.'' Shall we T
Books of All Time Are Keepers of The Flame To bridle the freedom o:f the press is to bridle the unhindered propagation of all freedoms; such an act would break the progress of a people ior generations t_o c~m~ All good books have a progeny of life Hi. them. Al~ though not so strong as that of its creator, it is powerful enough to influence and advance the minds and thoughts of huge masses of people through great periods of time. For this reason the g·overnment and the people should keep a mindful eye on the actions of books and all kinds of printed matter, just as they do the actions of men. The thou.ghts and advanced theories of all great men down through the ages have been put into printing for the benefit of the people yet to come. Many people have lived a useless Ufe on earth, but a good book is the life blood of a mind, stored up on purpose in a reservoir of thought and knowledge for a people to come alter death. So in a sense, good books ·are men, great men, with great thoughts and tantalizing sfories to tell. It is a truth to say that no gen.eration can restore an age of the past, and revolutions of ages seldom regain a lost truth or bit of knowledge,. for the want of which whole nations have been retarded in their progress. I:f a nation suppresses the freedom of the press, it will suppress great men and great thoughts which the next generation will be unable to regain, and th.e knowledge of which they will be lost without.

Last Sunday, March 21, Wl!.S the first day of spring. Two years, maybe only O!'.!e year ago, spring meant only baseball games, picnics, long drives in the . country, lots of parties, roller skating, and many things that everyone plans for all winter. Spring 1943, can be just as eventful. ~here can be just as many plans made (of course they'll be of a different kind) as if there was no war. There still can be parties, not so many cokes or as rnuch ice cream., but you can still have fun. You will soon be able to put your back yard or that vacant lot to use. ·, This spring we'll have to plan. victory gardens instead of trips out of town. This spring we must all do thifJgs that we don't especially want to, but always with the hOpe in mind that goon in the spring the world will again be 1

Are Your Teeth Decayed? Have Thein Inspected Every Six Months By a Dentist It's time. for you to hav,e your teeth checked. It has been six months, since the last time, you knQW.
"Mom, I don't have a cavity in my head. :Every time I go to the dentist he only looks in my mouth and says that I have a fine set of teeth and to keep brushing ti).em regularly." "I'm sending you to a different dentist and I want him to take bite wings of your mouth." "What in the world are bite wings?" "That is what the dentist calls the X-ray he takes of your teeth to determine it there are any cavities between them." This girl did as her mother advised and was shocked to find that the bite wings showed 13 cavities about which she knew nothing. A great expense is going to be thrown on her parents because, if she has the best dentistry ·done, she \Viii have to have c·a st gold inlays. This type of filling is the best that is known in the field of dentistry. Much wo.rk has to be done to prepare one alone. An impression is taken of the cavity after all of the ·decay has been cleaned out and the right amount of retention has been ground. A tempo. rary filling is put in tne prepared cavity and the inlay is made in the dentist's laboratory. He carves a piece of wax in the shape of a tooth and this is cast or burnt out, after being placed in an inve·s tment and hardened, in a small furnace of terrific heat until the
bucket in which the inlay is placed, is red hot. This is then taken out a nd gold is forced into the place where the wax was burnt out by centrifugal"force or air pressure. The inlay then has to be "pickled" or cleaned. All but the carving of the wax impression is done by the dental assistant, but here h er . work stops. The dentist grinds the inlay to fit the patient's tooth, where it is. then cemented int o place and highly polished. A filling of t his kind will not allow any leaks which cause more extensive decay, if it fits the tooth well. An amolgom, more commonly called a silver filling, may be used for , small pits .or where only one sutface is involved. This type of filling is not so strong as a gold inlay and therefore is riot commonly used to build u p the side of a tooth if the decay has gone this far. Porcelain fillings do not usually last for more than three to five years because they gradually wear out, but are used in the front teeth because of esthetics. Many people do not like gold in the teeth where it can be seen. We have been told of the art of tooth ~ushing ever since the first day we went to school, but few of us do it correctly. The back teeth should be brushed in the same manner as the front teeth-up and down. The gums should also be included in this treatment to help stimulate blood circulation. They should be brushed three tunes a day and at least one and one-half

Open Forum ._____.. To the Editor: During the past few weeks I have been noticin$" the actions of the students in the cafeteria. Day after day I see the same girls combing their hair over their food or perhaps their neighbor's food. It seems to me that this particular practice of hair combing al the table is very unsanitary and it certainly does not contribute to the cleanliness of our cafete~ia. Let's see if we can't take out just a few minutes in which we can comb our hair and apply make-up in the room provided. Mabel West.

minutes. This does not seem long when you think about it, but just time yourself sometime and you will realize that you haven't been brushing your teeth nearly so long as you thought you had. Many of the tooth brushes on sale today have n ylon bristles. These are too harsh and should be avoided. A softer brush and a home-made tooth pow~er, consisting of salt tnd baki;fg soda, will cleari the teeth. • Not long ago -~ gir l only twentyfour years old was told that because of extenl!ive decay she would have t o have all of her teeth extracted. This h appened only because of neglect of their care. It is sad to think of a girl her age wearing a full set of dentures, but it is not at all impossible and often s uch is t he case. A toothache can be very distressing and it is, in m ost cases, not necessary to suffer from one. It is important to have the teeth checked regularly at all times, but especially now, when so many den· tists are in the service. Because, . of t his, a greater responsibility has been thrown on the dentists still in private practice. It not only saves them time for patients who need care who take care of their teeth, but individuals are saved the expense of having m uch dent al work done and at the same time saving precious teeth. Nowadays dentures are made so t hat they cause little discomfort and bother, but they are still not n early so good as one's own teeth.

Between The Covers· "A Bride Goes West" is an interesting biography writt en by Nannie T. Alderson and Helena Huntington Smith. This is the story of Mrs. Nannie Tiffany Alderson's life in Montana. Mrs. Alderson or "Damo," which is her nickname, was born in West Virginia. She marries Walter A lderson, a \Vest Virginian like herself, Vir· ginian who has run away at the ag~ of twelve or thirteen to Texas and ret urned nine years later one night when she was invited for supper at the Alderson home. Her husband buys a cattle ranch in Montana, and they t ake a covered wagon journey t o Miles City. She is inexperienced in running a home. She had never done a washing in her life and it was quite an experience. All of her cake recipes called for s ix eggs and she very seldom had this number. There were no women within ten miles of her home which probably seemed like a thousand when nobody ever came to vis it. Cowboys and Indians dropped in occasionally. Wanting to remember her first Christmas di nner she had oysters which had been frozen brought up from t he city. Eve1·yone a te t hem a nd suffered afterward because the oysters were tainted before freezing.

Baseballers Powerful This Year
Joe Toman, former Lincoln high track, reserve basketball and football coach, has recently received his commission as a second lieutenant after attending officer candidate school in Miami Beach, Florida. H e hopes t o be stationed at Lowry Field, where he was before receiving his commission. Biggest news is, that he is the father of a two wee k's old baby boy. Sed Hartman, graduate of L incoln h igh in 1923 and assistant coach h ere in 1927- 28 and 1928-29, has been accepted to train for a commission in the navy's physical fitness program and reported to the pre-flight school at Chapel hill, North Carolina, Thursday, March 1 8. Hartman has been h ead coach at Omaha u·niversity for the last twelye years.

Preinductees Now Have Rifle Class Attention preinductees! ! A class in r ifle marksmanship is b eing sponsored by the National Rifle association on the University of Nebra:&a rifle range as announced by club Secretary, Earl Mauel. The present class started Tuesday, March 9, a nd will end April 13, after which another class will begin. Classes are h eld on Tuesday evening and consist of six two and one-half hour sessions. In these ~ classes are n ine Lincoln high school boys: Robert Blish, R obert B owers, Charles F. Ca mpbell, J ack W . Hart, Charles Mohrman, Richard E. Swan, Paul Young. Robert Franklin and Charles Seidel. It is a good opportunity for boys who are anticipating military service since it will b enefit them w hen they ar e inducted and h elp with military instructions in the camps. A Gold key,. which will probably be put on display at Lincoln h igh in t h e case in fron t of the office, will be offered as the prize to the best marksman. "The second course of rifle instruction will start next month" , stated Mr. Mau el. A nomina l registration fee is the only ch arge. Ammunition, targets, manua ls, and other supplies will be furnishe d by the club. Preinductees are u rged to enroll.

MARCIA MONTGOMERY.
Former L.H.S. Teacher Dies Marcia Montgomery Passe8"'On After Only Two Weeks Illness Mrs. Marcia Montgomery, form·
er Lincoln high English teacher, died at the Bryan Memorial hospital early Thursday
morning
after two and one·half weeks of illness. Funeral services were held Saturday morning at 9 o'clock and burial was in Creston, Ia. After receiving her bachelor of arts degree from the University of Nebraska, she worked toward her master of arts degree, which she received in 1934. During this time, from 1931 to 1935, she was affili· ated with the Benedict dated School.
Consoli·
For three and one
half years, she taught English and hisfory there, and for one semester ahe was the principal. In January of 1935, Mrs. Montgomery became a teacher at Col· lege View, where she taught Until the fall semester of 1937 when she came to Lincoln high as a member of the English department. She was also a sponsor of the Round Table and on the social committee. At the beginning of this school semester, she went back to College View high. --She .. married to Monte D. Montgomery September 2, 1941. Miss Sarah T. Muir, head of 'the English department, made -the following statement: "Marcia P erry Montgomery was a resourceful teacher and a staunch friend. Her enthusiasm led her to use in her · classes a wealth of materfal. She had unusual insight into pupils' abilities and needs, and her sympathetic interests inspired them to SIJ~prise even themselves in their achievents." "Mrs. Montgomery had a wide knowledge of books, motion pictures, poems and plays to her -account," wrote one of ·her pupils last week. "If a boy or girl wanted to know of a good book to read, 1he knew in a flash what w.o uld suit_that person's ta's te." • "She had a teacher's understanding and a chum's friendliness," wrote another. "Her friends were many. We reme.mber with deep appreciation her sweetness, sincerity and discerning helpfulness."

Camera Club Hears News Cameraman Nature of Work Told by Arnold Fred Arnold, photographer for the Journal, spoke on n ewspaper photography at a meeting of the camera club Friday, March 26. Mr. Arnold explained the taking of pictures for printing. The speed graphic· camera is commoniy used by newspaper photographers. Cameras are comparatively inexpensive, the one he ha.d at the meeting costing $200, including a~cessories. He said that the lens is the thing in cameras and the cleaning of the lens should be done by an expert. Finger prints, if left on the lens over a long period of time can be detrimental. "The main thing in taking pie· tures is to understand your camera," said Mr. Arnold. He explained the focal-plane shutter and the focusing of cametas. He stated that fast pictures should not be taken of action shots because it stops the action; if slower shots are used the .Picture is slightly fuzzy, indicating action. In taking pictures for newspapers one should not try to get extraordinary poses, for the readers of the paper will enjoy more seeing pictures of happenings that they themselves might have w itnessed. Thto posing of the subjects preparatory to taking pie· tures determines the value of the picture. The art department of the paper takes care of many flaws in press prints, reflections in store windows are painted ·out and when ;subjects blink at the flash-bulb the eyes are painted in. I n newspaper work, speed is the essential thing. "When 40,000 papers per hour are coming off the pre sses the pictures cannot be too clear," he explained. .., Developing of pictu-r es for n ews· papers was also explained by Mr. Arnold. "Experience is the best teacher for newspaper photographers," remarked Mr. Arnold. Many times cameras are broken or the photographer beaten up by unwilling subjects, but the cameras are insured.

Artificial Respiration Is Taught Correctly By Weighing Pressure The American Medical association's council on physical therapy last week approved a gadget for use in learning artificial respiration. The ·device ·is a replica of part of the human back, attached to a s cale and timing-oscillator, i!.nd designed to show first aiders and civilian-defense workers how hard to press and how to keep the proper rhythm. The point is that, according to hundreds of tests, many amateurs exert up to 150 pounds of pres· sure (instead of the .recommended 60 or less), thus giving volunteers !lore ribs and that they average 25 forward-backward cycles per min· ute (instead of 12 to 15). In p art, this idea is not entirejy new in L. H . S., as Carl Manthey's first aid classes have been using weighing scales for some time, to test the amount of pressure given in artificial respiration. Many students are surprised to find the unnecessary over amount of pres· sure they have. been giving which cari be very harmful. Tuesday and Thursday first aid classes are completing their courses this week.

25 Seniors Plan Careers Altrusa club is sponsoring a car eer conference for twenty-five senior girls. It includes two Saturday morning classes and a dinner one night with the club members, followed by a priv ate interview. Dr. W. R. Baller of the Univer· sity bf Nebraska spoke to the girl11 Thursday; March 25, in 303, and ha.nded

tests which he asked therr: to fill
out and return Saturday morning. "The business of measuring ou r human traits," Dr. Baller said, "is the best way r eally to get · acquainted with our potentialities, and to choose how we ought to invest them wisely w hen it comes to the matter of our vocation." He added that a person should be most impressed by four main articles of evidence when ch oosing a vocation. They are the courses he is now t aking in school, his likes and dislikes, his personality traits and any special aptitudes h.e may have. In closing, he asked the g ir ls to fill out their tests with an eye to accuracy, but to fill t hem out according to what they knew, rather than what they thought would look best.
'Debates to Begin Between Classes Inter-class debate tournament is to begin w i t h i n t w o or three weeks, according to E . B. Phillips, d e b a t e coach. The exact date along with rules governing the contest will appear in next week's issue of the Advocate. The debate question chosen for this year's tournament is,. "Resolved that the United States, Russia, Great Britain, and China should police the rest of the World after the War." Different from previous years is the fact -that there will be only two class divisions in the contest. These are the class of 1943 and the class of 1944. The winner in each class will de· bat e in the final round. All persons are eligible to enter except seniors who will be graduated this June. Persons interested should either form teams or sign up in room 215 after • school and teams will be f ormed. Mr. Phillips a dds that material for participants' use will be on the reserve shelf in the school library and that a wealth of excellent material can also be obtained a t the city library.
Poem May Have Helped Boost Promptness Maybe that little poetic "ditty" o'f last week did some gooci, or maybe we're finally rested up after the tournament, at any rate the . number of home rooms to receive pennants has jumped from s·to 19 in one week. Not bad, eh w hat? The rooms receiving prompt pennants are as follows : 100, 117, 121, 128, 129, 132, 136, 141, 200, 201, 205, 208, 209, 221, 303, 305, 306, 325 402.
H. R. Representatives Clean Up Committee Assist In Check-Up Many home room representatives volunteered to help inspect locker s at their m eeting, Match 24. Tom Sorensen, who is chairman of the locker clean-up committee, explained the duties of the locker inspectors. The r epresentatives were . urged to explain about t he cleaning out of locker!! t.o their home rooms. Eighteen repres entatives vol•inteered and they will work wit;Jt the m~mbers of the clean-up committee. Paper for the scrapbooks being made in the home rooms was shown by John Fiala, . There were several different sizes of scrapbooks, the smallest b eing for. jokes. Some were made especially for comic strips a nd t he lar gest for cross word puzzles. Because of lock er inspection, the collection of class dues has been delayed for a week. They will be five cents this year . A r eduction has been made because the home rooms will not have their pictures in the Links . · Senior 12A's are exempt from paying dues. Norman Lock of t he war comm ittee asked all representatives to inform their home rooms t hat the Victory Corps would give credit for any work done on Vic· tory gardens. Home room representatives d ues were collected.
Two men, John C. Whitten and George H. Lemon, Ii.ave filed for the two places on the board of education, to be filled in the elec• t ion April 6. Unless other na m es are written in on the ballot; these will be the new members. " Schools are the most important thing in the community. This is true because the schools have to train the young people to run t he world," said Mr. Whitten; He said t h at a nyone who · had & place on the board of education must give a great deal of time and thou~ht to it. Mr. Whitten is an attorney and is associated with the First Trust company. He has been active i!l the Community Chest, War Chest and Red Cross. He is a member of the graduating class of 1919 at Lincoln high school and has a son, John, who is a s opho_more at Lincoln high. George H . Lemon is manager of the Peerless Cleaners in Lincoln.

Angle, Elmer Magee, W. A. Robbins and Robert Van Pelt.
Speaker Warns AgainstAlcohol W. Roy Breg Declarelil Liquor C~uses Most Of Our Country's Crime "Alcoholism is the most important problem of America t h at is not being taken care of," said W. Roy Breg,' executive secretary of Allied Youth, w ho spoke at an assembly for group A Tuesday, March 23. He said that making young people do what t h ey ought to do is a difficult thing and that they must be able to make the right decision on the spur of the moment when t he question of drinking occurs. He stat ed t hat ninety per cent of t he inmates of one state prison are there because of results of alcoholics. Mr. Breg advised all boys of high school age to stay in school and get everything they could out Of it.
Spectacular Perfo_rmance of Joy Night Makes Amazed Audience Spellbound Joy Night comes but once a year, but when it comes, it brings a lot of good talent and first class entertainment. Such was the case when Joy Night '43 got under way March 25, in the L. H. S . auditorium. Starting in a military manner, the boys glee club and octet combined in the entire act t wo selections of which Wl'lre written by Hugh Rangier. Marylouise Brodie, tapped a pplause from the audience as a WAAC, and the Mummers gave a sketch on how not to h elp Tojo. Joyce Edwards and Bob Fensler blended in a l'omantic touch, singing "Moonlight Mood." The Jumping Janes roped the audience spellbound with their feats of rope skipping. Stanley (dress for all occasions ) .Capps br ought forth roars of laughter with h is piano playing antics ;· and the ably handled mar• ione'ttes added nov.e lty. Max Miller in sailor garb sang Irish songs and Gloria Waugh was on her toes as an admiral's daughter.. Th e Bohemian five received laughter galore with their "make you want to laugh music." The G. A. A. presented a com· edy dance called "Fun on the Pier," zoot chains and all ; and a beautiful Floradora song group was given by the girls octet. A saga of the old west of ''The Supreme Sacrifice" in t hree
"struggles," which brought th& hous e down, was presented by the "L" club. A sextet, !!-rid a contest in rope climbing w as presented between t he s t ruggles. The Rocketts, consisting of eight girls, danced their way to much applause. Dreams of a sailor was given by the Pepp ers, girls of many lands appearing in his dream. " Accordions in Waltz Time," by Donna and Willa R eas er, delighted t he crowd. The fa culty cau~d a . riot when a group presented a sket ch called "Fish Stories." The fishermen were Frank Kane, David Sell and Charles Worra!. Julius Young and Lee H. Kuhn were the Iridians, and Gilbert Rogers and Melville Green were traveling salesmen.

Kuder tests introduced A g·ood indication of t h e progress in education is the introduction of the Kuder tests. These tests help the pupil become phychologically adjusted to his school life. The cut and dried system of teaching that has prevailed to a large degree in schools ·is, we hope, on its way out; Every person i nthe world has a different personality, different aptitudes and attitudes, different envirQnment. The Kuder tests endeavor to fii1d what sort of school curriculum would flt each pupil. This is of great ad\rantage to the pupiL The Kuder tests are 11 ot infallible. But they will probably do a lot more good t han harm.
Advantage To Pupils Spring weighing a nd measuring for every pupil in the school are now under way. This is something which every boy and girl should appreciate. The idea of giving· physical examinations in t he school is a very good one. The idea is to k eep the pupils healthy. The advantage of being healthy, if you didn't know, is that a person can live better. And the advantage of periodic check-up is that a person can tell whethe1· he is beginning to become unhealthy. If he is b eginning to become unhealthy, he receives a little note, and then is expected to ' ' buzz' ' over to an M . D . or D. D S. ;i,nd get him.self fi.xrd. up; so he can keep on living well. Logical 1 We thirik so.
Signs Of Spring Spring has cub, add with it cubs colds, n_ew cfothes, fancy y oung men, (you k now, in the spi·ing· a yoru1g man 's fancy-) gnen g rass, terrible editorials, neglected studies, April F ool 's ;jokes, budding roman ces, . and an abun dance of -0the,r trivia usu a lly associated with t he exit of Old Man W inter. "Oh the· flowers that bloom in the spring, t ra la, the f lowers that bloom in the spring tra
la, the editor is hard u pfor space filler tra la tra la tra la.'' How beautiful. the sight of little bird ies bu ilding their little nesties, and how beautiful the sight of little children playing on t h e sidewalk, joyfully banging each other on the head . with junior sized baseball bats and e cstatically screaming, "You did t oo." "I did not.'' ''You did t oo, ' ' etc., etc. Isn"t it wonderful 1 Another familiar sight on a d ay like t oday is the b ecrippled student, hobbling along while uttei·in g gems of joy : '' Cm se that hat with the brick under it and cu rse the guy t hat put it there. :Ylay h e grow up ·t o be a truant officer '!," Another sign of spring was the spor ts classes ' hard labor last week out in the oval. These boys ·wei·e eng·aged in that fa mous and time-honored sport, ditch-diggin g. Except in this case it wasn't ditches, itw as holes, or in athletic pal'la,nce, pits. These are to help keep our track and field men's bones intact by providing a soft landing· place for j umpers and vaulters. It's a g reat feelin g, as if you had just been freed from solita ry confinement for t hree months. Yes, spr ing is h er e. Kachoo ! Excuse me.
Tin Cans Are Needed What do you do with your old tin cans.T I:f you 've Qtin in the habit of t hrowing t hem away, thin~irst, befor e you t hrow away the next can. Soon there will be definite instructions as to where to yeave yours can s. You may ask why we have to salvage tin. The ans.wer is that this is an important and badly n eeded way t o salv age urgently needed tin. About half of the raw mat erials used in map.ufacturing s teel is scra p metal. In fact all t he gold in F ort Knox couldn't buy the t in we n eed. Perhaps you are wondering about mines and supplies from other countries. Ninety p er cent of our nor1nal supply was cut off when the J aps captur ed Malaya. If Bolivian mines an d smelters could be developed they wcmld supply 15 to 20 p~r cent of our needs. So you can see tin is n eeded, and needed at once. However, althou gh tin is. needed very badly, other strategic materials like antim.ony, for making bullets and schrapnel, nickel, for armor plate steel, tungsten, for high sp eed cutting tools, manganese, chromium a nd others a re urgently needed also. So salvage that scrap metal a nd most especially t h ose tin cans . And wheri you see the hsign t h a.t sa.ys ' 'Tin For Tanks, ' ' see if you can ' t sa.y, ' ' I 've given all t he· tin · I co uld p ossibl7 g·i..-e ! "

Modern . Traffic Engineer Considers Ability of Driver, Says E. J. Johnston Edward J. Johnston, traffie engineer for the highway department of the state. of Nebraska, circulation manager for the Advocate when he attended Lincoln high, well. remembers the first person he .in t erviewed for the_Advocate, an engineer at the state capitol, n ow a fellow worker. Until present day traffic engin eering, the roads were not built will consideration !or the driver. It was the travelers job to get over them the best he could. "But now the traffic engineer has three things to consider," stated Mr. Johnstim, "the design of the highway, the ability of the driver and the ability of the automobile." Nebraska's flat terrain is probably a liability rather than an ass_e t t o the t.raffic problem because drivers from foreign states believe that all they have to do is . to step on the gas. So that's what they. do. Many persons from out of sta tes have come to work in war plants and the number of arrest s for s peeding almost doubled in Oct ober this year in comparison with October, 1941. War industries have caused anoth er p roblem. H e said, "A large number of people, t hat have moved n ear war pla nts, are t raveling on highways designed for light t r affic." There has been a traffic engi-

One of the objects of traffic · eng ineering and of regulartory signs are for the transportation of t he vehicle from one point to another . as fast as possible. The assumption is taken that the a vet age persons is a good driver, a ~e driver, a nd will obey the law. Traffic engineers will become more in demand after the war. Most cities over 50,000 employ traffic enginers, many autom obile companies do, as well as some t r ansportation companies. \ A person interested in studyjng traffic engineering should have a r egula r Civil engineering cou r se.

Student Electrocuted, Lives To Tell Story H,ow does it feel to be electrocuted-and live to tell about it ? Just such an experience was had by "Shirley Haun, junior, who s ings with her father's orchestra. The other night Shirley, as usual, stepped up to t he m icro· phone, not knowing what was in store for her. As she took hold of it to move it closer, something automatically fastehed her hand around it and seemed to shake her. For about twenty seconds, which seemed like hours t c her, she felt t he shock of about 220 volts. Hei' father tried to loosen ' her hands from·the microphone, a nd as he did so the shock was transmitted from Sh irley t o her father. She faint ed, still c lutching the .m ic rophone. After several hours s he was back singing again, p r_oving that a real trouper can carry on. For several days her hands were numb, but she has now fully recovered from the shock.

JoyNight'sPuppets Are Big Success One of the many entertainin g a cts seen in Joy N ight la s t week was the p uppet a ct. Those persons who m ade thi.s a ct a success were Arnold Austin, Don Gillen , Dan J ones and Joan Armitage. The idea sta r ted at ·a church league wl).en a woman, whose hobby is puppets, suggested t ha t the league memb.e rs put on p uppet plays. Many start ed out on the project, but they g radually dropped out. Soon only Arnold, Don, Joan, Dan and Myrtis :flider were interested enough to k eep working on the idea. Myrt is wa s unable to appear in Joy N ight, but the others w orked up the ac t for t he show. The puppets are made by t he group who p ut on the plays. T he h eads of the d olls are m a de from paper a n d paste laid in plaster molds. Th e bodies are made of wood, padded with cotton , and then d ressed. The s tage and stage s cenery were also made by the group. The lighting set is th~ir own. Sidney Abbott is responsible for t he music, and most of the painting was d one by Hal W ilmeth Who is now a m ember of the armed services. They compose t heir own scripts and enjoy their hobby a great deal.

Are Girls Always Late When Dates Call For. Them? t Meeting your "date" is such fun. If in these days of gasoline rationing it'.s on the drug s tore corner, _this is what usually hapi pens . You arrive to m eet your one and only at 3 :00. Your apJ;lOin tment was at 3:15 so you think you'll just hang around eating popcorn a nd s uch 'till s he s hows up. A t 3:45 you're still t here, popcorn is gone and you've spent 15 cents on c~ndy bars. You begin to form a great speech on persons .who a r e late and w hat you'll t ell · her when she com es. At 4 :00 she breezes in and with teeth bared (but only in a smile) you go to meet h er . "A m I lat e ?" she asks sweetly, "Oh, no. I j ust got . h ere myself," you say. She looks so nice, why argue? Anyway, what is 45 m inutes? Bu t t hen there· is the girl friend who is met at her house, a nd you have to, t alk the war situation l>ackwards and forwards w ith dad and mother, and perhaps the brother , a lia s Pvt. John ·Doe. You're probably not too well up on wha t t onight 's paper said any· way w hich only m a kes matters worse. What a r elief when your "date" is heard coming down s tairs! Or maybe your g irl is always ready, Br other, hold on to her; she's a miracle and precious.

Miss Schemel Receives Letter From Cousin In Morocco; Tells of Americans' Landing How the people felt when the '.American troops landed in Morocco is told in a letter recently received by Miss Helene Scheme! trom her cousin, Mme. Marjorie Ladomirska, there. Mme. Ladomirska is a nativ e of The Hague, Holland, who recei ved her elementary education in England and Italy. Later she spent two years in traveling over the ~ited States. Ten years ago she w ent to Paris to continue her college work, at the Sorbonne, the univers ity of Paris. Here she met and later married a young Pole, Stanislous Ladomirska, who was studying piano at the National Conserva tory of Music. When Paris fell the Ladomirska family fled to southern France. Later friends in Morocco made it possible ·for them to escape to Robat, Morocco. She wrote, "We were so used to waiting and seeing nothing change that all hope for a change for the better kind of left us. It is hard to keep 7our spirits up when you see how cowardly most people around you accept defeat and do not even dare to fo rmula te a s in· cere opinion on events."

And not only entertainment was d e r i v e d from this astounding production; for example, Gus Eager claims that dresses ought to be worn more often because they're so comfortable! Ha! And I might add, v ery becoming, too. Happy birthday, indeed. At least Chris Deines had one she will never forget. Not only d id Bill giv e her an orchid, but. a compact as well. Do you know w h at Bette Benne tt is doing in her spare time? At present she is working a s a nurse's aid at Bryan Memorial Hospital and she is planning to get into the Red Cross. I think it's swell. And on top of all that Bette has her pilot license to fly an airplane. She only has to w ait until her eighteenth birthday to take anyone up with her. Hats off to you, Bette. The other day I asked Joan Stubblefield what was new. She smiled, her eyes starry, and said, "I'm in love." Need I say that the man's name is Bob Shinn?

Baseball, Tennis and Golf Teams Get Under Way Golf Squad, Tracksters After Shouts 'Fore'· Fourth Crown This Week The Links golf squad got its start this week with three letter-
In / Five Seasons Links Squads Set Fast Pace When the Red and Black cindermen go to the state tournament this spring, they will be after their fourth title in five year::!. In the last few years, Lincoln tracksters bave set a blistering pace, winning three titles, beginning in the year 1939 and taking second place in '41.
In 1939 Howard Debus led the Links to the championship, with 17 of his team's total of 38 points, as he won the discus with a throw of 153 feet, 3 inches, the javelin, and tied for first in the polevault. Charles Hoffman in the shot, and Harlan Culwell in the 880, were other gold medal winners. Again in 1940 with Howard Debus leading the way, the Links romped to the state title, as they topped the nearest contender, Albion, by 10 points. Debus, completing his third year of competition for Lincoln high, racked up 20 of his team's 31 point total, as he broke the pole-vault and his own discus record. ~s vault of 12-8 and his discus heave of 163 feet, 2.%. inches, still hold as state records. Wilber Lebsack got another first in the brboad-jump. In 1941 the Links "took a breather," as Omaha Tech walked off with the honors and LiQ.coln took second place. Al Abbott' was the only Red and Black man to win a first place, as he hopped to a three-way tie in the high jump, A year ago the Links edged by North Platte to take top honors in a story book ending. With the relay to run, the Lincoln squad led. by a mere 3 points. If North Platte had won this event they would have been champions; but the Red and Bfack quartet of Jake .Jacobs, Bob Shuckman, Jack Nebelsick a nd Fred Birkman came through in grand style. Birkman avenged an earlier defeat in the 440 by Harvey Stroud of the Pla tters, by beating the famed "Thin Man" to the tape; to clinch the crown.
In Other Schools The North Central News from North Central high school in Spo· kane, Washington, reports that Tuesdays and Fridays are meatless day in the safeteria, but ice cream is being served on these days to help the students forget the lack of meats served. In a meeting of the student council in the North Platte high school, North Platte, Nebraska, it was agreed that ' pupils would be better suited to fill their offices on the student council if their terms lasted for two years. Dialects, including Irish, Italian and cockney English are being studied by the dramatics classes in North Platte. "Fat Salvage Day" is held, states the school paper of Little Rock high school, every two weeks on Thursday when each pupil is to bring some fat ·or grease.

Lucky, New Mascot, ls Disappointed at Game Lucky would make a good mascot. He is a five-monthsold Scotty and is so black that it is necessary for him to wear a tiny cow bell in order to tell where he is. Lucky has always been a bashful puppy when hi is among strangers, but did anyone happen to see him at the Lincoln high-Benson basketball game? When the score was tied and everyone was very excited, Lucky ran into t he coliseum and tried his best to get on the floor with the two teams. He was brought to a halt immediately and taken away from the building. Disappointed because he was not allowed to remain at the game, Lucky trotted away, carrying his little square head high as if to say, "Someday I will be a good mascot, but in the· meantime I must remember to be on time at all basketball games."
Mardis Tells Of New Plan Tests Will Be Given To Some Boys Friday To all of the boys of Lincoln high in assemply held March 30 H. C. Mardis made known a program designed to enable capable and outstanding high school pupils to qualify for officer training in either the army or the navy and at the same time enable them to go on to university. Tests to be given on Friday, April 2, will be taken by thousands of high school and college men throughout the country to determine who will qualify for the new Nevy college t raining program. Candidates who pas~ the tests will be enrolled in one of the many participating colleges or universities for a period of not Jess than 32 weeks or more than four years of study. Officer candidates for the Marine Corps and Coast Guard are provided for u nder the ne;y
Favorite Pastime Ha$ Progressed After Century Play Baseball, America's Favorite Game While watching a baseball game, did you ever stop .,to think of the long history behind it? Or do you take for granted certain facts about it? For instance did you know that the first club to wear the present style uniform was the Cincinnati Reds in 1863 ? When you see a pitcher wind up and throw a beautiful curved ball, does it ever occur to you tha.t when b asebal l was first played curve balls hadn't been heard of? Cunnings of the Stars of Brooklyn was the first pitcher to curve a ball. Baseball was founded on the old British game of Rounders, though many additions and alterations have been made. The first regular baseball society was the old Knickerbocker club, founded at New York in the autumn of 1845 and for fifteen years the sphere of play was limited. In the spring of 186P the Excelsior club was inaugurated at Brooklyn, New York, and the amateur element, in contrast to the professional, gave a marked impetus to the game. This club was second to none in the United States, either in social standing or as correct exponents of the game. With the Civil war a serious interruption resulted in sports, and baseball became almost obsolete until the season of 1865, when it spread throughout the Union and was recognized as a profession, not just a few devoting all of their time to it and getting paid for their services. T.Ue average time of a baseball game is from two hours to two and one half hours. The shortest game, by time, was fifty-one m inutes, played by New York and Philadelphia of the National League at the Polo Grounds in New York City, on September 28, 1919, with a final score of New York 6, and Philadelphia 1.

After completion of their trairning, many of the m en will len<d their experience to service in supply, ordnance, medical or administrative work at large shore sta-. tions, as well as at sea. While attending school, these students will be equipped with uniforms, receive servicemen's pay and accommodations, and w ill be in the armed service in every sense of the word. Young men 17 years old, who are enrolled in the senior class of high schools or in college, are eligible. The tests of April 2 are the last ones to be given for some months to come. "If you expect to be anything but a buck private in this man's army you had better take this test," said Mr. Mardis at the assembly. Th_is program, although concieved by the Navy, was tak en over by the Army a lso. Therefore applicants a•e permitted to state the branch which they wish to be in. Mr. Mardis made clear, however, that if an applicant should change his mind as to what branch he wishes to enter, he may make his wishes known and ever ything will be done to change his status. The prospect of going to college may not appeal to many qualified students who are desirous of getting into action immediately.

The Lincoln h igh baseball teant began its p ractice last Monday, March 29, to polish up for a fairly good schedule, despite the travel difficulties. Omaha South will play host to the Red and Black in t he season' s opener, wh ich will be held April 8, The Packers a lways pop up With a strong squad, and Coach Lyle Weyarid's boys will h ave their h ands full when they att empt the invasion. Coach Weya nd said in a n after school meeting last Thursday that it is likely there will be a gam e at Omaha North, and then possibly · a return game. It is s omewhat certain that t h ere will be t wo games with Northeast, and maybe one w ith Bertrand. Hastings and the oth er Omaha s chools are good possibilities. He a lso stated that there would be less fundamentals and more scrimmages in the hur• ried up practice season.

Past Reviewed In Track, Field; Spring Sports Th e Romans did it. Yes, it wu even done before. It has been don e ever since there has been any his• ·tory of man. You g uessed ittrack. Foot racing was one of the first ways man had to test his skill and endurance in competition w ith. other men. Your fat her and g randfather loved the cross-count ry and the three-legged race. They held their races at faTnily picnics a.nd· the winners of each picnic r ace would compete with w inners of other races and pick t h eir city or county ch ampions. You have, .no doubt, listened to the tales of your grand· father of the great runners of yest erday, with their close fitting t ights and amazing endurance, who ran for m iles a cross country until each of them would drop with exhaustion. Track today is a mor e modern method of racing. Now a man does not drop w ith exhaustion. Men r un shorter distances a nd base their skill on speed that does not do any bodily harm as the races of yester-year did. Of course, tra ck is not all run• n ing. There are the high · jump• ers, broad jumpers, discu s throw• ers and shot putters who are just a s important as runners in a t r ack meet.

'BrOther Goose' Presentation Is Scheduled Soon Committees Are Chosen; To Be Given April 16 The living room of the Ad<!-ms' home on one of the older streets in a · midwestern town .is to be the setting of the play, "Brother G<Jose" to be given April 16 by / the. junior class. Tickets for the junior play go on sale in 125, Wednesday noon, April 7. They will be on sale after tha t before and after school and during all lunch hours. cJeff, a young architect in the play, who is mana,ging the household, mistakes Peggy for the new maid. Tired. of seeing hosiery .a nd very fond of children she agrees to stay in their home. Little does she know yet of Lenore Hudson, who has just inherited a million doi]ars and wants Jeff to build her a. new house, Hy, his ·10-year-old sister, who is crazy a bout football, is Jeff's problem; she hates Lenore, particularly beca use of building the house on their football lot. Hy and Le.n ore clas.h and Peggy shielcls Hy, taking the blame herself, Peggy decides to leave, thinking that a girl with a million dollars is too much competition. What happens to Hy's f09tball squad ? Does Peggy come back? And just what does · happen? The solution will be found in the play April ' 16. Rehearsals for "Brother Goose" started intensively . Monday, be· cause it was then that the ' cast first procured the auditorium. Committees Begin Their Work Members oi the junior play advertising committee have their various duties assigned. Work was begun about two weeks ago. The . souvenir, worn by all juniors to advertise the play, was d rawn by Lois Heuser. The large poster, which is put over .the auditorium door is being made by M ary Dye and Carole.a Miller. The hall bulletin board which displays pictures of the. cast has been ar~ ranged by Marian Splichel. Announcements for the sound system will be given by Jean San.ders aJ).d Jean Davenport and announcements written on all home room boards h ave, been prepared by Thelma Miller. The committee plans to work • ome time after school and orie Saturday morning to complete their duties. Play Offers Humorous Angle In the midst of rehearsals one day someone asked Mary Lou King if she had trouble with her complexion. Her answer was, "No, never." It turned <iUt she had m easles. This kept her out of school. a w eek, adding to the complications involved in rehearsal. The direc~ tor is keeping h er fingers crossed
i.n hope that no one else will develop the prevalent measles or rnumps. Jack Holbrook is having quite a time getting that put-put to turn sharp corners on the stage. And Wilma Jean Lumley can't get used to the football helmet which she has fo wear, or keep from sliding all over when she wears football shoes with cleats. A funny picture was Mary King tryiU:g to get self-confidence an.d showing the rest of the family how a double rev.e rse football play .should be run off. Jack Lynn, originally a truck driver, also has to supply all of the off stage voices. It seems n ow that he is. postman, sheriff and a florist's delivery boy all in one. Now that the cast is actually using the davenport and chair 8et, Phyllis Mortlock is relieved. Heretofore Wilma Jean Lumley has been shoving her onto three straight chairs improvised· as temporary davenport.
Spring has come to the occupied and oppressed countries. In Norway as the blanket of snow faded, hundreds of bodies of Nazi soldiers were found. In·. Russia. there is mostly mud and typhus a nd a fear that the Germans . would swarm back, after tJ:ieir winter defeat, to the summer fields. Daisies flourished in Holland, .instead of the tulip. The daisy, tiny yellow-orange flower, is the Hol.Ianders badge of allegian ce to the House . of Orange and to Princess Juliana's brand new daughter, Ma rgriet (Daisy). No balloons were for sale in France at the Rond. P oint on the Champs· Elysees but children still sailed their 11hip11 on the Luxembourg Garden ponds. The guerrilla of China watched spring push up the first kaoliang' (sorghum) sprout s, that lucky crop whose six,foot stalks will soon hide the fighters from Japanese planes. JUST COULDN'T CATCH ' E M

Good Exercise, Anyhoiv Ask any boy who has just gone over the obstacle course in .Antelope park ·whether it isn't just too thrilling for words, and you :will receive in retum a dumb stare. This ingenious series of torture racks was made by the Army, but the boys in the sports and pre-induction classes are allowed to use it. (.Allowed, he says.) It is a top conditioner. (For the undertaker, we think.) Let us follow a typical boy through. At fil'st he is confronted by a towering structure and is told to climb it, stand up straight on it, and jump off. This seems at first a simple task, and so without misgivings, he bounds up the structure and stands up. 'l'hen he looks down. It's like one of those views from the capitol tower. Only higher. "Oh, come on, jump,'' shout his helpful comrades up to hiin, while licking their chops and rubbing their palms. And so our hero, now with misgivings, jumps, but he lands on his head, and is reverently carried away. W'e 'd better find another typical boy. After a few more bone crnshers have been traversed by a new chappie we found, we come upon the Mighty Test. · This consists of a ;smoolh wall, no la.ddel'S, no niches, no nothin '. The idea is to cJim b up and over it. It's o,nly ten feet high and looks like an obstacle easily overcome. That is, it looks like that to persons :who have no intention of climbing it. "What do they ·want me to do, fly over it?" mutters our chappie, a morbid sort of fellow. "See here, old fellow, that 's no way to talk." we say, "Where's that old fighting do-or-die spirit 1" He looks at us amazed. · Well, now we approach the fences which are for vaulting purposes. Editor's note: Hey, how did you get over that smooth wall¥ Note to the editor: You keep your big mouth out of this. As we were saying, we approach the fences which are for vaulting pm·poses. Many are falling by the wayside. vVell, the weak shall perish; the strong shall surviv_e. That's the way it goes. No doubt about it. Absolutely none.

What makes your heart beat a little faster~ What makes you stand a little taller with your shoulders thrown back and your chin lifted 1 Yes, it's that familiar song, ''The Star Spangled Banner." When you were a little tot in kindergarten you would proudly hold your small American flag and keep in step .to a march, then halt and stand still listening to "The Star Spangled Banner," refraining from scratching that itching knee or nose. _1. • Even in yonr old ag;e you ;will stlll stand ~t 8.ttention with perhaps one hand on a cluur to help support your feeble body, but still you will stand.

Study halls and library have been filled on several mornings in the past w eek with perspiring students answering all sorts of questions on various subjects, attempting t o make scores on the test which ' they were taking. Two seniors, Bill Miller and Tom Sorensen, taking all the tests, put in a total of eleven hours. Friday morning, ~arch 26, a number of students met in the library for three hours to take Lhe nati'onally given League of Nations test on "Organizing the World for Peace." Many of these students were members of Lincoln high's magnificent debate team (plug). The list consisted of four questions to be discussed by the contestants, the League of Nations, and the various aSpects of the peace plans for the post-war world. Two papers will be sent in from . Lincoln high, and the national winner will receive $400 and various minor prizes (not a membership in the League of Nations, as some seemed to think). On Monday and Tuesday a grou p for seniors met and took t he an· nual University of Nebraska regent's scholarship tests. The test was given in four parts, the first being a college aptitude test was given in four parts, the first being a college aptitude test featuring vocabulary and paragraphinterpretation drills. The second was part of a mental ability test and the third a long current affairs test. The last test was called general information, but was principally on scientific knowledge. All of the tests were multiplechoices which rather cramped the style of the coin-flippers. The space corresponding to the selected answer was filled in on a special answer sheet with a graphite pencil and the tests will be graded

Open Forum To the Editor: 'Keeping the halls clean in as big a school as Lincoln high is quite a job. That's why we, the students, mi.tst do our part. If some careless student throws some paper on the floor, remind him that we have only a. few custodians left and they haven't time to sweep up unnecessary dirt. The student body should lift as much of the load as possible fr.o m the custodian's back. We all want to do our part but we forget, but students, let's learn not to forget-We Remember Pearl Harbor, don't we? Then let's be able to help by helping men so they can be fre_e to avenge that little slogan. Ruth Swarts.
Black-Out Brings Much Excitement About This Home A quiet evening at home? Mother is peacefully knitting, Dad has just found the rest of the evening paper and now that little brother has gone to bed he can read it without being disturbed. Big brother Bill, who has been talking to his girl for at least an ; hour has finally .settled down to ' study. At what better time coulrl the whir of sirens and the sound of loud whistles be heard. A BLACKOUT! Mother lays dowll her knitting and rushes to the porch to see the neighborhood lights go out. Dad lays down the paper disgustedly and Bill groans at the thought of staying up until twelve o'clock to finish his Latin. Mother sticks her head in. the door to tell someone to turn out the attic light. "My gosh," yells Bill, "I left that on last week when I cleaned the attic." He gracefully runs up the steps, two at a time, but how was he to remember all 19 steps on the way back down. While Mother wonders if the neighbor knows that his 11a.s ement lights are on, a warden wearily climbs the steps of the porch to remind him. ' Although to most of us a blackout will come as a complete surprise and it may change our plans, we must remain calm and "Cooperate W ith the Air Raid Warden."

Spring Changes Styles Ah Spring!-! Sweet Spring! With the abandoning of "sloppy joes" and wool skirts, sweat shirts and slacks, we find the girls wearing "broom stick" skirts; print blouses and "hauraches." The boys turn to polo and sport shirts, summer trousers and "fuzz cuts." You'd better start digging in your closet for those print blouses that are right in style these balmy days. Did you notice the pretty pink pastel blouse Freda Mohr wore with a baby blue skirt the other day? Spring has really gone to Charla Sharrick's head because the other day she came to school with her bright red shorts on under her broomstick skirt. "Squeek, Squeek !" If you h,ear these strong sounds coming from the classrooms, its ' only the girls and their "hau. raches." (They are not rationed either ). Well anyhow, anyone can tell Spring is here at last.

Effects of War "Hair. styles show effects of war (not referring to fuzz cuts, although ilie boys must save some money on them ). In these busy t imes, girls don't have time t o spend hours putting up their hair, so the most popular a nd attractive hair s tyle now is the 3-inch fea ther cut or victory bob. It's hard to get bobby pins now, so most of the girls will have to .shear their beautiful long locks and wear their hair short. For lon g hair, there are some good ideas for fixing the hair up instead of using hair pins or bobby pins ; the old fashioned "rag curlers" are quite effective. Getting back to more of these war nair styles; Katherine Hutton has a clever idea. She just rolls her hair up in front which takes only a couple of bobby pins, and she parts her hair in the back, dividing it into curls, and ties these up with little bows matching whatever she wears. Ribbon isn' t rationed, so there's a n opport unity to use all kinds of ideas for hair bows.

Jackie Babcock-"My diary, but don't print that." Kay Dwinell- "You mean my most prized possession this week?" Reese Wilson- "My bow t ie." Jim Gwynn-"Bet sy.'' (Blush )
Greenhouse Being Used For Plant Experiments "We have some gardenias that we hope will bloom in the near future," states Bernard Lundberg, caretaker of the Lincoln high school greenhouse, for three days each week. "Exper iments on the reproduction of plants," reports Bernard, "are being developed in the greenhouse. Slips f rom different plants a re placed in water until roots h ave developed. Then they a re planted for reproduction. Geraniums and verbenas are the plants that are being experimented with · at present." Some of the duties included in Bernard's job a re removing old plants a nd replacing them with new ones; white-washing windows to weaken the strong. rays of the sun, and completely caring for the g reenhouse. "Miss B ardwell and I a re a lso experiment ing with a liquid which will help the growth of the plants," says Bernard,

Protect Government From Economic Disorders Help To l(eep The Wartime Prices Dotvn Maintain The Purchasing Power of Incomes H elp to keep wartime prices down, to maintain the purchasing power of incomes and savings and to protect business and government from economic disorders is being emphasized in the patr iotic service on the home front studies in Lincoln schools this week. The government has attempted to check price increases by means of a seven-point program: heavy taxes, sales of bonds and stamps, rationing, ceiling prices , restrictions of installment buying, stabilization of wages and control of farm prices. W a r produces conditions that tend to cause rapid price increases and make these controls necessary. The money income of the people of the Un ited States has been increasing rapidly since the war began. This is because more people are employed; m a ny work more hours at higher wag es; farmers get more for their crops; more is paid out for materials used in war production ; more goods are produced and sold. The nationa l income paid out to individuals, as estimated by the U. s. department of commerce, increased from approximately 76 billions in 1940 to 113. billions in 1 ~42.

to iluy has been steadily decreasing. While t otal production is greater, an ever larger proportion is for military use, Automobile fartories now make tanks and other war equipment; mills that made textiles for civilia n clothing make uniforms or blankets ; an ever larger part of the food produced goes to the armed forces or for lend-lease. Thus, with more money to spend, people bid against e,'tch other for the reduced supply of gcods, and prices rise. According to official estimates ( 1) there will be only about $7.00 worth of goods and services for every $10.00 of spendable incom e in 1943. Price increases in times like the present tend to generate a series of increases. Increased prices cause increased production costs which lead to further increase in prices, which lead to further increases in costs, etc. Skyrocketing prices bring hardship t o gr.e at masses of people and make wa r production difficult and costly. If not checked they may lead to economic collapse, In wartime the need for tanks , airpla nes, ships, guns, munitions and other war necessities must be met rega rdle:os of cos t. UHstable prices increase the difficulty of planning and coordinating war
Repeated Rumors May Bring Fifth Column Workers Rumors ! Are you helping the a xis by sprEading rumors ? If so, you are probably doing it innocently enough. No doubt, you wouldn't really try t o hinder your country's war efforts, but nevertheless rumors may cause us to lose the war. To illustrate how rumors change as they pa ss f rom one person to the other, members of Gilbert Rogers' second period Spanish 3 class on Wednesda y, March 31, played a game called "rumor" or "gossip ." Some sentence was started . a t one side of the classroom and whisper ed from person to person until it reached the last class m em per on the other sidP. of the room. Mr . Rogers started the state· men t, "Break, break, break on thy cold gray stones, 0 sea." By the time it had r eached the ! ~st m em: ber of the class it h a d changed to "Pay, pay, pay . the man for' the car, white sands." Another started as " I h ear Hitler has died of t uberculosis" and when the fina l person to hea r t he sentence r epeated what he had heard, it was "I h ea r a fly on the breaking n ose." Alth oug h these examples m ay s eem humorous , they illustra te how a perfectly harmless statement may turn into a very dan gerous weapon for the a.xis . Be caref ul what you say ! Don't spread rumors a nd if you hear one, d on't p ass it a long! Help your country. Killing rumors is the one thing every American can do to help win the war.

The high levels of t he 1920's encouraged speculation, extravagant spending, unsound banking, ill-considered business ventures, and debts which could not be paid. These disorders led to the economic collapse of t he 1930's w ith its bankruptCies, unemploymen_t and low stan~ards of living. While price incr eases have been s lower in this war than in World War I, they do constitute a dan· gerous threat. During t he period of World Wa r I and the years immediately following, t he cost of living mor e than dou bled. A family which spent $100 in 1914 for the a rticles which make up the cost of living had to spend, f or the sarri.e articles, $167 in 1918, and $207 in 1920. From t he opening of the present war to F ebruary , 1943, the cost of living increased approximately 21 per cent. In both periods the cost of food increased faster tha n other a rticles. A question of the utmost importance to ever ybody is: Can furth er increases 1 be k e pt ;vithin moderate limi ts or \vill prices "run away" as in 1914 to 1920?

THE ADVOCATE--SPORT PACE
In lntersquad Tilt Harold Becker Takes 2 Firsts With the track cleaned off and the jumping pits dug, the outdoor track season is now in full ~wing. In preparation for the interclass meet this Wednes~ay and Friday, the Red and Black track team ran through ·an intersquad affair last Friday in the oval. The Links are rounding into shape and raring for action. Harold B ecker, letterman, won two field events as he put the shot 43 feet 8 inches and tossed the discus 119 feet. J ack Nickens hopped to first place in the high jump with a 5 foot ~inch leap, while Dolan got off a rare jump of 20 feet in the broad jump. '.!'here was no pole vault event. Best race of the afternoon was in the 440 yard dash when Parsons and Colley hit the tape in a dead heat, with a time 55:8 seconds. Jack Wells' time of 24 :8 in the 220 yard dash was g·ood for first place in that event. Don McKay topped the high hurdlers as he skipped over the high sticks to the tune of 19:1, while Ben Munson took the 220 lows with a 24:0 timing. The 880 yard ru11 was captured by Charley Valencia, as the dependable letterman ran off a 2 :~5 time. Bud Hertzler ran to an easy first in the mile with
a clocking of 5 :05.

Some of Those Things For Which We Fight The warm, peaceful air of the village is broken by a bell pealing out its message. In a moment the streets were lined with people dressed in _thei r Sunday best, going home from church, gtad that it is onty the pealing of the bell that fills the air and not the drone of an enemy plane. From the house co~es the aroma of the dinner they know is waiting for them and not for some German or Italian. The children skip merrily ahead, eager to be home so they can eat some of that deli· cious food. Up high against the blue of the sky, a silver plane flashes its wings in a merry signal that all is well . These are among the things for which we are fighting .
All of the returning lettermen but Bobby· Jacobsen, speedy first baseman, reported for practice Monday, March 29, along with a turn-out of hopeful lads. Bad news had a field day, when -it was announced t hat Ernie L ee and Les "Tow Head" Lantz were ineligible because of lack of credit hours earned last semester. Bill Betz, football letterman, will probably take over' the hot corner position vacated by Ernie, but it is not known who will make up the rest of the garden staff as yet. Gus Eager was the sta.nd-out in the inner-squad game, hitting a pair of blistering blows. The mound staff seems to be r ounding into shape, with the exception Of few sore muscles. Dave Krcmarik looks great on the first sack, showing ground covering ability, and plenty of stretch on the. wi ld pegs. Due to the change in the schedule, Walton will be the season's opener. and · the game should be played April 9. Omaha South has been postponed until April 15. Dates for the other games are not certain.

Changes Made In Registration Annual Registration PrograttJ. Organized; Classes Rearranged To do· away with all January registration, an annual spring regiStration program is being organh;ed. Fewer and fewer pupils will be entering from junior high achools in January, and eventually none at all. Classes will be arranged to run in a two-semester sequence. The English sequence is so arranged that pupils preparing for college will have more literature in their curriculum. The one semester of American literature will be contirn1ed, but a full year course will also be offered. English 5 and i2 will be merged to include "Beowulf," Chaucer and Shakespeare. There may also be some changes made in the commercial. classes, but it hasn't been fully decided upon as yet.
Dr. Usher Addresses Teachers Global Aspects Of War Given Giving his formula for winning the war, Roland G. Usher, head of the department of history at Washington university and news analyst for station KSDA in St. Louis, Missouri, addressed Lincoln te~chers on " The Global Aspects of the War" at F,iverett junior high school Thursday afternoon. "The way to finish this war," stated Dr. Usher," is to go through the Mediterranean and. go past Greece without stopping, and stop somewhere in the eastern Mediterranean; then go t hrough Turkey to the Caucasus and join the Russians. "Then," he closed emphatically, "the gang will start for Berlin and. there isn't going to be anything in our way. There are no natural barriers for us to cross and there are no natural barriers to help the enemy." Dr. Usher said that one way often suggested to win the war was to go through Spain-but then the problem would be to get into France. We could go through two passes, but these passes are bottlenecks.
"Decisions for the future of the war will be made by the spring campaign," Dr. Usher stated at the first of his talk. "We, or any other nation, do not have enough natural resources to make war over the entire globe. One of the most important thi11gs in this war is the shipping," he emphasized. "Most people do not realize this and think shipping is only a small . part, bu t in reality it is one of the most important. We transport armies and all of the material that goes wlth an army and all lendlease is sent in ships." "Germany is the more powerful, Miss Helen Dunlap and a group of Joy N ight entertainers, namely the most dangerous of our enemies.

Of course, many men in the serYice a1•e being i:eleased now t o go out to wol'k on farms, but here 's a chance for many high school boys and girls t o help America sol ve the food problem and do some patriotic sel'vice for their country. Many of them can get jobs working on farms this summer. What cou ld be more healthful than working outdoors in thl3 sunshine and fresh air, eatiug; whole::;ome home cooked meals, and getting a good night 's sleep at the end of the day '! Youth of America, your countl'y needs you and wants you to du your best in producing food for victoq !

WEDNESDAY,
'Arbor Day Approaches;'TreePlanting State' Looks Forivard To Ceremonies , April 22 marks the seventy-first anniversary of Arbor day. Since it began in Nebraska in 1872, each state now sets aside one day to plant trees. Its celebration has been participated in, and become dear to the memories of at least three generations of school children in every state of the union.. Arbor day is of special interest to Nebraskans because the plan to devote a certain day each year to the public pla nting of trees and to call it Arbor day was first suggested by J . Sterling Morton in 1872. Morton was then a member of the Nebraska sta te board of agriculture and later became United States secretary of a griculture. In those days, Nebraska was called the "Great American Desert." Morton foresaw that planting trees would make Nebraska a more fertile and prosperous state. The first Arbor day was celebrated on April 10, 1872. As a res ult Of this Arbor day, more than one million trees were planted in Nebraska during that year. 'l'hen, in 1885, the Nebraska legislature changed the da te of Arbor day from April 10 to April 22, which was Morton's birthday. Later, N ebraska was named the "Tree Planting State." Soon other
states began the celebration Of tree planting days. The d ate of Arbor day varies in the different states. Most of the northern states celebrate it in May; in other states it extends from December to April. Tenm:ssee and Kansas started Arbor day in 1875; Ohio and North Dakota in 1882. The remaining statPs followed soon. Altnough Arbor day is strictly an American institution, tree planting ceremonies are of ancient origin. The Aztecs of Central America are said to have planted a tree every time a child was born, and to have given the child's name to the tree. In parts of Mexico the Indians still observe this custom. In Germany . and Switzerland commemorative tree-planting goes; back into folklore. In Switzerland there is a tree~ planting festival known as "The Swiss Para de" which dates back to the fifth century. In England a remarkable tree-planting observance began in 1897 during Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee when s hade trees were planted in acrostic form at Eynsford. During the South African war the shade trees spelled out the names of three battles-Kimberly, Ladysmith ancl Nafeking.
German Script Being Taught
Dr. Aitken Speaks Of Robert Burns
Because of the war, German 1cript, which has not been taught for sever al years, is again being t aught in Miss Valeria Bonnell's fifth period German 3 and. ~ class. German script has not been considered valuable enough to t each because it is difficult to read and write. Now ability to read and write German script is considered valuable to a member of the F .B.I., or to a soldier at the front who should happen to intercept a German letter. Members of the class write lett ers to each other ln German script to acquaint each of them with the handwriting of differ~nt individuals.
In the Classes Lefler Heads [ /n Other Schools The Regional Conference
Four Lincoln high school students participated in a debate for the Optimist club, Thursday, April 8. The question was, "Resolved that a federal world government should be established." Tom Sorensen and Harold Luedtke took the affirmative· and Bob Gillan and Bill Miller, the negative. In Paul Lindberg's drafting classes, the boys have been learning about surveying. The school has the surveying equipment so the boys are getting an idea of the real thing. "I'm hungry," issued from second period, English 6 , classroom. Having read Charles Lamb's "Dissertation Upon Roast Pig," everyone was naming his or her favorite food. The favorites ranged from turtle back sundaes, to quail and good old chocolate cake. Miss Annetta Sprung's French 3 class was going over a list of phrases. Finally, it dawned upon "Bud" H ertzler that he didn't quite understand a phrase a f ew lines back. Suddenly he said, "I'd like to go back to that girl with the big blue eyes," referring to the phrase, of course.

This was the 76th group, about 10,000 girls, that Mrs. Whittaker h as addressed. She spoke on nursing, our n eed for w ell-trained nurses and diff erent phases of nursing. A picture, "R.

Cpl. Don Bogan, brother of Dick, Jean and Mary Kay Bogan, who are now attending Lincoln high, had a startling experience while returning from Greenland. After being stationed in Greenland for more than 13 months, he received a furlough. While coming' home with a group in a B-24 bomber they were blown off their course and were forced to make a crash landing in the northern part of Alaska. Luckily the boys we'r e not hurt in the crash. They dug a large hole and got into it. In the hole they built a fire a nd tried all ways to k eep warm. During the day they cut down trees for firewood. While they were there. which was 32 days, they cut about four acres of timber. Animals were hunted for food , but they found only white owls which were very tough. They tried baking, frying and
stewill"' them, but still they were tough. Se•1enteen days later they were sigll:ted, but it was 32 days before the·1 were finally rescued. The cli;.1ate was very cold, the temp~ ....ture being 70 degrees below zero. Don said that it was just too cold. Don is here on a twenty-day furlough after which he will be sent back to his base in Rome, New York, where he will receive more schooling. Don also says that one of the main jobs in Greenland was to keep the boys busy. They boxed and skied for amusements and did calisthenics every day to keep in g ood shape. The boys heard about one radio program every two days over short w ave. They were also entertained by phonograph records of radio programs and popular dance music sent to them by the Red Cross.
Spanish Movies At Stu.dent Union
Girl Reserves Hold · Hard Times Party
Although it sounded Greek, or should we say Spanish, to the L. H . S. Spanish students that attended the Spanish movies presented at the Student Union building Tuesday, April 6, most of the students were able to understand the story from the pictures. The motion picture, ';Dos Mujeres Y Un Don Juan" (Two Women and a Don Jua n), was a full length picture made in Spain some two years ago, which could eai;ily be told from the clothes worn by the actors. It was part comedy and part tragedy. This ·was mainl y because it was two s t ories in one. The first story was about a flashing charact er Don Juan and the other about a barber. The other picture, "Buenos Dias Carmelita ," was easily unders tood and was also an up-to-date picture.
Three Blind Mice Played By Band

MOTH.ER'S DAY CARDS By Rust Crn/1
"Wartime Issues and Problems Confronting Nebraska High Schools" was the topic of discussion and planning of the regional conference called by the Nebraska state department of public instruction, in Lincoln, April 5. M. C. Lefler, superintendent, was the local chairman and presided over both the afternoon and evening sessions. H. C. Mardis, principal, Friday attended a similar meeting in Omaha, as well as this conference. Topics included under this general heading were the shortage of high school teachers, acceleration and related adjustments, the high school victory corps, agricultural labor shortage, citizenship educa tion in wartime, pre-service courses, and guidance in wartime. Leo P. Black, supervisor of secondary education, stated in opening the afternoon session, "We felt that with so many programs being issued, we try to challenge them through our office. There a r e many problems a nd if we unite a nd get our thoughts unified s ome, we could make some proposals and present them to the school people of the state." As to the first p roblem, the iihortage of t eachers, it was said . that ther e is a 41 per cent shortage at present. Some smallci· communities are overcoming this by consolidating their small schools. Several places in N ebrask a are known to ha ve combined as many as 15 schools. In this way, more teachers can be ,spared for other communities or schools. When this is done, a school bus is operated which affords transportation for farm children. However, some schools were found to have t eachers who were not really qualified teachers. Several teachers and superintendents discussed the draft and what they should do when they are called to the armed services. One superintendent spoke of a new classification which is for certain kinds of t eachers, s uch as science teachers, also for superintendents. This classification is known as 42A a nd 42B. Th e r eason for the deferrm ent. of men t eachers is b ecause there aren't a ny women traineq to take their places. In Great Brit ain, all teachers are u sually deferred. During the discussion of the problem of acceleration a nd r e-. lated adjustment, the following s tatement was m ade : "We know tha t a bright student can get from a demonst ration what a dull s tudent cannot. T herefore, these students should be able to g e t a long in the world because they h ave a s ufficient amount of knowledg e. One has to h ave more education to get a long in the world compar ed with several years ago. Before a student is given the ' privilege of goin g ahead in sc]1ool, while others remain behind, h e should be carefully check ed as to character, intellectual and emotional a ttitudes." It was d ecided that stud.ents s hould complet e high s chool credits and be given credit before enter in g armed services. "Students want to take an act ive p art in th e war effort and t h e Vic t ory Corps provides a channel or outlet for this desire," stated Mr. Lefler while discussin g t he proble ms and a dvantages of this organization . T eaching an d introducing of pre-induction courses in the schools was discussed and genera lly a greed t ha t most schools have introduced into their schedules some form of the war effort.

The plants are started in the school's greenhouse and then moved to the · plot of land on the athletic field which is 20 by 40 feet. The ·club consists of nearly 300 members. At Cheyenne, Wyoming, an elaborate Cadet Ball was held. The ball was complet e with two professional entertainers, a St. Louis night club performer and. a banjo player from Mexico City, Mexico. A queen was presented and decorations were present des pite wartime shortages. A "Schools at W ar" flag is being given to Washington high school, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is presented by the United States Treasury department. The school has 92.6 per cent of the students participating in the bond a.nd stamp sa les. At least 90 per cent of the student body must be purchasing stamps or bonds to win a flag.

Quality Praised Although the board had many difficulties in putting out a maga· zine this year because of war time shortages, the Scribe will be one of the best yet, as Miss Pound says the manuscripts she read were unusually good. Miss Pound also mentioned, "The publication of the Scribe is aomething the school should be pt-oud of, for it gives the students an opportunity to show their originality and writing ability." The Scribes are to be issued today in rooms 204 and 100 for an activity ticket or 25c.

From the Hi-
Point of View By Phyllis Mortlock. :To Gas or Not to Gas. An astonishing. statement was issued, last week from No. 10 Downing Street, bearing the name of Winston Churchill. "A use of poison gas against our Russian allies by the nazis or their. accom· plices will immediately result in the fullest possible use of this process of war upon German munitions center seaports and other military objectives throughout all of Germany. Wondering London sources dis· covered the ' true and serious reason for this report. The capture of certain secret German papers was revealed by Moscow which in· dicated that te nazis were planning to make use of poison gas on the Russian front, going by the order "To be used only on or· ders from the Fuehrer." Snail Tracks. A hill taken here, a two-mile ad~ vance here, a machine position captured over there, all these do not make exciting reading at home. But nevertheless, tho the advance is slow, tortuous, and bloody it is an advance. BBC told last week, "German soldier11 are hasitly building emergency wharfs, with board and beams,. along the beaches." While this may mean the end, war correspondent take~ it to signify the beginning of the end, but that finale is hidden deep in the stubborn African wadis, hills and plains. One reporter covering way in the front lines recorded a plane a minutes zooming over to strafe A.xis positions. Good Deed. TWo Italian army soldiers, now prisoners of war in South Africa's Transvaal, fought a rip-roaring two-round battle for the welterweight championship of the fast decaying Fascist empire.

Winner of the contest accepted the offer of a match with thti South Africa welterweight champion only on condition that half the proceeds go to Italian prisoners of war in South Africa, half to South Afri· can prisoners in Italy.

Having completed lo.c ker cleanup, representatives are con centrating on campus clean-up. Sections of· the •school constitution were read and discussed at the last room representative . m eeting before vacation, the making of scrapbooks for soldiers, as well as the clean-lip campaigns. Many home rooms have completed their scrapbooks for convalscent soldiers and are asking for even more scrapbooks to fill, reported Johnnie Fiala at t he meeting. It was suggested that the art classes make the covers and members of the scrapbook committee bind them. Connie Pat Hintz said that much has been a ccomplished in cleaning up the campus by assem· bly groups during recent off-assembly periods. · Results of the locker clean-up campaign were good, stated Tom Sorensen, but there are many empty lockers that still must be cleaned out. Representatives will take the responsibility of check· ing these lockers. The persons vol· unteering will have a total of 300 to 400 locl;l:ers to check. They will return books found in these unused lockers to the book room. The representatives were asked to explain to their home rooms the articles of the constitution pertaining to school elections be· cause of the forthcoming elections for student council. Tom Sorensen also asked the representatives to inform home rooms of the interclass debates. The home room representatives held their first meeting after spring vacation Wednesday, March 28, in room 306. Norman Locke, vice-president of the organization, sent out a call for athletic equipment to be used in the SU)Timer athletic program. He urged all types of equipment, baseballs, ball gloves , checkers, chess boards and anything of this nature to be ha.'lded in at the office.

Lt. Edward Schmid Back From Guadalcanal; Tells of Experiences With Natives on Islands By Mary Lou Bohmef'. From First Lieutenant Edward Schmid, '34, who came back to the United States to recover from tropical fever, we get first hand information on what it is like to be in New Caledonia and Guadalcanal. "One of the things that intel'· ested me most," stated Lieut. Schmid, "was the natives or Kana· kas as they are called. I could write a complete volume on funny things they did. The first native I saw rather frightened me. He was at least six feet tall, maybe more, and he must have weighed more than 200 pounds. His hair stuck out about ten inches all over his head and the last four inches was dyed white; and on his forehead and cheeks diamond shaped marks were painted. He wore a red sarong and his ankles were bound with bright colored cloth. He also had on a. necklace made of animal teeth, human teeth, and a bottle opener. I don't. know where he got the bottle opener, but he seemed to prize it highly. This distinguished looking character began to follow me around. He was very friendly and even helpful in some ways, and it wasn't long before the boys began to call him my man Friday. With· in a few weeks most of the soldiers had at least one native fol· lowing him around." The natiVes love to have their pictures taken. A soldier couldn't walk· down a road with a camera and not have dozens of natives stop him by grabbing his arm and then stepping back and freezing on 'the spot with wide grins on their faces waiting to have their pictures taken. This being sort of hard on the films, most of 'the
men just kept their cameras unloaded and when they went walking snapped pictures right and left to keep the natives happy. "Besides being camera crazy the natives were also amazed at the moving pictures that were sent there," continued the lieutenant. "The first motion picture had a Duke Ellington short with it. Now all the natives want to come to the United States because they think that all American Negroes wear white dress suits and spend their time playing music and living in beautiful homes. . "One of the incidents that will probably interest Lincoln high students most is the Battle of Savo Island that some of us witnessed from the top of a hill. Four Japanese ships were burning near the shore and we were definitely winning. "The next day we . listened to Tokyo Rose, our favorite news commentator from Japan; In her perfect American accent she was asking us to surrender. It, according to her, was our last chance. Either we surrender or die. She told us that oilr navy was at the bottom of the ocean and that four of our ships were still burning near the shore. She explained that we would. die of starvation because there was no way to get food to us. That speech didn't go over very well because we knew that it wasn't o'1r ~·-'·-s that were burning. As for starv• ing, a few days later, we had a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner, turkey included. We also had turkey for Christmas." The troops lived in huts built by the natives. They can be built in five or six days for three or four dollars a piece. About 40 feet square, they are water proof,
wind proof and cool. Because of the bugs and insects, they can be occupied for only three or four months, and then there must be a new one. "Although there isn,'t any big game on Guadalcanal, not even snakes, crocadiles or monkeys, the deer are plentiful. The first time t went hunting, a couple other soldiers accompanied me. When the natives found out we were go· ing, they came around to tell us where a man lived that knew all about hunting deer. On arriving at the. man's house, we were im• mediately invited on the porch to rest. We leaned our guns against the wall while the man's Javanese servants served us cool drinks. There was a small clearing in front of the house and we not iced some natives leaving on horseback followed by about a dozen dogs, but that didn't seem out of place as most the natives usually had at least a halfcdozen dogs following them all the time. We were unprepared for what happened a few minutes later. After a sudden commotion a frightened deer ran across the clearing. Of course we couldn't get our guns soon enough to shoot it. Then we found out that that was the way the man hunted. He· had his servants and dogs trained to round up the deer, and run them across the front yard in order to shoot them." "Although there aren't any Red Cross people on the front lines" he concluded, "there are some in New Caledonia. They do a wonderful job, especially the hospitals. They write letters and help us in any other way to communicate with those back home. They a lso supply us with shaving equipment, cigarets and plan entert,ainment."

S prechen Sie Deutch? Parlez-vous Francais? Chabla vd. Espanol? Edward Murrow, CBS commentator in England, recently reported the frantic search among American troops for men who could. speak French. 'With American troops scattered over the glo be, knowledg·e of languages has suddenly become more important to our people than ever before in American history. Army and Navy classification divisions keep a sharp watch for men and women with language skills. Modern languages arc important to t he Victory Corps training programs." Qltotation from "Education for Victory," a new maga zine that is an extreme contradiction of the Nazi outlook. Not only during this present struggle, but more so afterward, in the rage of t he reconstruction period, a knowledge of modern languages will net the intelligent and clever· p erson an exciting, well-paid job. Even to t ry to imagine the golden opportunities that will present themselves in South Amel'ica midst the post-war plans would be to underestimate them greatly. First, the completion of the international highway will present the best j obs. Reorganizations of rubber, oil, coffee, and the millions or other industries fertile South America offers are fo be accomplished. 'l'he reconstruction of all the now war-torn countries will be at hand and undoubtedly the toLLghest jo,jb available. Either in the wilds .of Africa, or t he cold wastes of Russia and Siberia there will be new lands to settle, big opportunities opened, forests t o landscape, schools, offices, factories and bridges to be built , railr oads to lay, and all t he other things accomplished that tend to advance civilization. However, there is time enough for that. The present problem is the one to be considered. Many Iiincoln high school boys who are J une graduates have their deferments which -allow them to finish the school year. .After graduation, service is the next step. The boy who can speak 'a foreign language fluently will have a decided ·advantage over the rest. Did it ever occur. to you t hat knowing how to say " yes" or " no" in another language might mean the d ifference between life and death . "Education for Victory" says, "The American soldier is learning in his off-duty t ime to speak the rudiments of the country in which .he is stationed" which proves the need of knowledge. As an interpreter in yom company, it means advancement in rank ; better pay. As an interpreter fo r the government, it means a good 1teady job, and an excellent income. So why not join the r est of the world now- and afterward when your name will not he a "citizen of the United States," but a citizen of the world in their crusade. Do your part for Victory !
Voting Is YOUR Priuilege Dear John : Well J ohn, it is springtime there- at home. It's dreadfully hot here, but, naturally it would be. I 'm sorry I can't tell you much about my activities, but we've seen a lot of action. About as much as I would like to see for a long time. It's voting time at home now, isn't it ? Remember at school, the r adical discussions we had over our political di fferences. Remember how thrilled we were over t he prospect of heing 21- old enough to vot e? Well, I had t hat long-awaited birthday a few months ago in Casablanca. After counting on it so long·, it was a big disappointment. However I was consoled because I was her e figh ting to keep up that opportunity. It never .Rtruck me how the people of the United States misuse this. Oh well , when and if I come back, I '11 certainly make use of t he pr ivilege. BILL. So long. This is a direct quotation of a letter received f rom Africa. It merely shows how much our fighting men believe in what they're fighting for; But it seems, as Bill says, that people don't t ake advantage of it . Do you 1 ~ established citizens of Lincoln high school it is not only your privilege, but your duty to vote for your officer s. They will be your leaders during t he rest of your years in high 1chool. They will make your laws, r ules and regulations. Voting is absolutely required in Australia; t hey think so much of democracy. Men are dying so you ma y continue to cast in yo ur selection. So as a service to your cot.mtry, don 't for get to place your Yo le tomorrow.
Jud Turner seems to have had a slight case of amnesia. Along with his teachers ' complaining about his forgetting school work, he asked two girls to go to the Sweetheart Dance. Maybe he couldn't make up his mind who his sweetheart was ?

There was a man in a restaurant who ordered a nice .iuicy steak and proceeded to t ake a bite. A man outside yelled whoa , and the piece of steak st~pped in the man's t hroat and choked him to death.

Hairdresser Speal{s to Girls Home Ee and Business Clubs Hear About Care Of Face, Hands, Hair Business girls and home economics clubs m et in room 116 April 12, to hear as guest speaker Agnes Schmitt Harrison, president of the Lincoln, state and national hairdressers ass'n, who spoke on the care of the face, hands and hair. "A girl may look like a co-ed even through high school and university, since people on the home front · need cheering as well as the boys on the war front," Mrs. Harrison stated. She also said that adolescent age is the most beautiful age in life and health is the foundation. Today, thanks to science, all girls have to do is to open a compact and in a moment they have their make-up on, but the way they apply it is most important. Mrs. Harrison remarked that nail polish when worn should be a color to blend in with one's complexion, not neceSl;arily the color of one's dress.

Long time no see!! Juliet Rathbone and Dale McCracken doubledated it with Eugene Deeter and Barbie Wentz. Did you ever get that argument settled ·at : the YtJ.m Yum Hut, Dale? Ha, ha. Although it's a wee bit late, I think the c~st of the junior play ought to be congratulated for a swell performance.

Gretch Schroeder has been dating Jack Bailey, and they seem to have fun. Margaret Ann Amend and Bud Ruhl have been dating quite a lot lately. Can it mean anything? Terry Gradwohl had a date with Northeast's glamour boy, Jim Weber, but Jim hurt his leg, so they couldn't go. It's too bad, but opportunity will knock again, kid!

From the Hi;_Point of View By Phyllis Mortlock. DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR ME.
Tunis and Bizerte have fallen! At last the mighty two_. the capital and naval base of the French protectorate, have capitulated. To the Free French the victory was a miracle falling as it did on the eve of May 8, Joan of Arc day. The good ole' doughboys rolled over Bizerte in the afternoon while British troops wedged into Tunis at the same minute, just in time to knock off work for a spot of tea. London hears stories of German officers being moved out of the danger zone, leaving corporals commanding. One Yank asked a Nazi prisoner if he didn't feel that that was like rats deserting a sinking ship. "Why no," answered the astonished man, "the most valuable men should always be saved." Another account going the rounds is the one concerning an Italian prisoner who when asked what he thought of Mussolini's speech last week, shrugged his shoulders and replied, "The only trouble with the whole world is Nazi Germany." When his listenc ing captors pressed cigarets warmly on him, grinned and slapped his shoulders, he shook his .head and warned, "Don't be sorry for me -remember, I'm going to America &nd you're going to Mussolini'•
Italy!" He clicked his teeth pityingly and moved off amid ro_a rs of laughter from the bystanders. Germany's Illusions Vanish. Norway, Hitler's own bugaboo, is giving him insomnia again. The nazis best bloodhounds were on the track of British agents who were reported to have parachuted to a rendezvous with Norwegian patriots, in central Norway. An· other band of bloodhounds was at work in Denmark attempting to uncover increasing acts of sabotage. Then there is the other matter bothering Adolf-the German people's morale. The need to guard all Europe, the gigantic strain of the effort and most of all, the steadily rising storm of allied air power, all have done their best to break up the morale on the home front. Berlin residents have confessed, "we have no illusion any more about sleeping undisturbed." Turn About. Hitler has been rumored to be feverishly building magnificent ground defenses prevaring for the invasion of Europe, which is decidedly comical, as it was der Fuehrer, his Panzer divisions, and his blitzkrieg tactics who disproved finally and forever that ground defenses were effective against modern air warfare.
A scholarship at the Chouinard a.rt institute at Los Angeles, California, was awarded to Erma. Tyrrell, senior of Lincoln high school as a result of winning first place in a Scholastic Awards art contest held under the auspices of Scholastic, the national high school magazine. The preliminary contest was held at Orchard a.nd Wilhelm company in Omaha. Several other Lincoln high school students paTticipated. Besides Erma, Donna Belle Herpolsheimer, Betty Lamb, John Kirsch and Alice Fowles won state awards which entitled them to have their paintings exhibited at the Carnegie Institute of Art at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There were 34 scholarships to various art institutes throughout the country. Students applying for this honor were required to send portfolios of their work to the jury, consisting of nationally known artists and critics, and also a transcript of their high school academic record, with letters of recommendation from both the principal and the art teacher of the school which they attend. Erma draws illustrations for advertisements of local stores. She recently sketched pictures at a local theater for anyone who would buy a war bond. Erma also won honors in the Scholastic contest held here about a year ago, at Miller & Paine. Her work has been hung in the junior division of the Nebraska Art association exhibit. She attended the Saturday morning uni· versity art classes.

Labor and Material
Shortages Cause Delay State Photographers The board of the second wartim e issue of the Links, annual year book, is facing the gravest situation in t he hist ory of the book which has been published year ly since 1917. Due to the influx of business brought abou t by the men at the Air Base having their pict ures taken, the photographers wh.o have been taking pictures of seniors for the year book have not been able to deliver these p ictures on time. .As Herma n · Wacker, photography editor, whose job it is t o collect the glossy prints for publication, found, t he pictures can't be secured for love nor money. R esult of this situation is that the Links boar d is not s ure whether this year's book will contain pictures of all the students who had them t aken or not. The blame . for this predicament must be· placed on the shortages of materials and labor, the tw o major factors which are the causes of the photog raphers' inability to p roduce the pictures on time. . Another blow for the board ls the fact tha t Gretchen B urnham, the biography editor, has the mumps, a nd her la.at m inute work w h ich was not yet completed, has been done by other board m em bers . Calls keep coming in for copies of. the Links, but e ver y book has been sold. ThiS mean s no sales on distribution day. Betty Stroud, former typist for the Links, will finish t he semester as librarian for the Links.
Opera Tickets Are D.A.R. Scholarship Now Being Sold Given to Junior Ticket s for the opera, which is Alice Jean Fowles, a junior, received the 1943 D. A. R. scholarship of fifty dolla.rs which is given each year to some junior girl of good citizenship and scholarship who i s wh olly or partly self-supporting. Margaret :Pinkerton, senior, r eceived the scholarship last year. Alice Jean painted the pictu res of Major Walter Reed in room 327. She plans to pursue painting and commercial art as her career. She is already known around Lin. coln high as the painter of the oil paintings in 327 for Carl Manthey'& classes. Since she was 11, when the class began, Alice Jean . has been attending the university's Saturday morning art classes.
Students' Pictures Hung at Exhibition Food For Victory Twelve Lincoln high students and one former Links had art Is Essential Job work shown at Miller and Paine's auditorium in the Lincoln Artists' Guild state exhibition. Joan Armitage entered a water color . while Edward Becker entered a water c~lor and a block print. Gene Hinde entered a block print, black and white, and two water colors; John Kirsch entered three oils. Peggy Kirshman submitted a pastel; Betty La.mb, two black and white a.nd four water colors; David Leonard, block print, water color, and pen and ink; Maryann Meyer, water color; J oaI).

Linl{s Situation Looks Grave
M. C. Lefler, superintendent of schools; L. H. Alberty, director of vocational education, and Mrs. Daisy Kelgore, supervising · director of adult homemak ing education, are directing the Lincoln city schools in the Lincoln Victory Garden effort (or this year. They are organizing the community Victory garden classes which have instructors from the college of agriculture. The L incoln Civic Organization ts offering recognition for outstanding work in the gardens. Certificates have been given every year for gardens, but the need for home gardens this year is greater than ever. If each f amily has vegetables from gardens of its own, then more food can be sent to the battle fronts.
The French department with the cooperation of the home economics classes will have a luncheon in room 112, May 13, giving the students of Miss Annetta Sprung's period 3, French 4 class a chance to taste some of the d ifferent types of French food they have heard so much about. Mrs. Katherine Henninger's home economics 11 class will prepare and serve the meal. Donna Lee Kimball, junior, is general chairman of Mrs. Henninger's class with Laura Mae Amend, Virgene Korvarik, Ruth Ann Ellis and Shirley Bacon as sub-chalnno,, . Geraldine Poska, junior, is the gene• .,.1 "hairman from the French 4 class, WILh Betty Jo Packard, Susan Lancaster and Barbara Cederdahl as sub-chairmen. The luncheon menu is planned for simplicity, .ease of preparation, time and typical French dishes. The two classes make up a group of fifty persons:
gan in the year 776 B. C. and has been carried through. as a traditional custom in most countries. Athletic games and races were held at the chief allcient Panhellenie festival for five days, which was celebrated every four years at Olympia in honor of the Olympian Zeus'. The custom originated during the mythic period of Greek history, but there are no authentic dates. Besides athletic contests, there were competition.s in music and poetry; during the whole festival a.nd also .for a time before and after, a general peace was observed. The games could be attended only by those ' of Hellenic blood a.nd of unquestioned morality. Spectators came from all Greece and its colonies; women Wel'.'e debarred, but later allowed to attend a.nil e·ven enter the chariots. The victor's prize was an olive-branch , which carried a statue of Olympia. A modern revival of the old con-
years. The first of these games occurred at Athens (April, 1896) in the ancient stadium, t h e second in Paris (June 1900); the third in St. L ouis (1904); the fourth in London (1904); the f ifth in Stockholm (1912); and the sixth, to be held in Berlin (1916), was abandoned, owing to the war. Events were international and included, the marathon race, track-sports, wrestling and jumping. Almost twenty-two years ago, Lincoln high school adopted this custom and has carried . it on through the years. It follows up the old Greek custom, with the exception of music and poetry. From 1921 to 1942 there has been a total of 20 Olympic games, t he juniors havin g won five games and the seniors having won fifteen games. T h iS year of 1943, although a year of war, the L.H.S . Olympics w .i:l l stHJ be held. It's your game and entertainment, so enter and try t o win a. victory for your claaa.

JOAN FARRAR - Cront Photographs.
Need of Forests In War Shown "Trees for Tomorrow," a picture on the conservation of our forests, was shown on F'riday, April 16, in room 306 the first 15 minutes of each period. It showed t he value of trees in winning t he war. Trees are n eeded for scaffoldings 1n making ships, for use in maklng P.T. boats, and the housing of service men. To every sold ier in our a rmed forces, 4,000 feet of wood are needed and yet ever y year thousands of a cr es of t imber are des troyed due to carelessness of campers and tourists. About 25 percent of the timber destroyed ever y year by fire is started by ca reless smokers, another 25 percent on pUTpose, 14 percen t by lightning , 9 p ercent by u nknown causes a nd another 24 percen t are miscellaneous items such as campers, etc. When these are d estroyed it is just the same a s a sabotage according to the picture.

How Does Your Campus Look to You? Just as a child's actions reflect upon its parents, so does the campus of Lincoln high school reflect upon its students. How do vou look to· the critical public eyes 'I Are you 'unkept, filthy, and ragged 1 Only as a vety exceptional rule. Then why let your campus ac· quire an uncouth look about it 'I Oh, naturally, every argument has two sides. You might retaliate and claim, ''·we· have dandelion pickings and clean-up week. And, after all, don't our fathers pay taxes to employ custodians and gardeners 'I'' - 1'q truthfully answer these questions, say '' ~es~but." Dandelions only flourish in the spring and · 11ummer. Come fall, and the campus is laden with dead leaves, which; for the first few clays are beautiful. After that, theii· color becomes a grayish mass and disfigures the gT01mds. Secondly, clean-up week comes ;just once a year. Make it a habit of yoms to deposit useless candy wrappers and old notes into the waste cans placed conveniently around the school yard. lJast, hut certainly not least, is the eourse spoken of hy few, but thought of my many. 'rho :;mrue old '' docsn 't my fathet· pay taxes.'' Of course he does, but war h;is drained the very life blood frorn labor. Help is hard to get and hal'der to keep. Our custodians are doing more than their slrnrc now. Cooperation ,vm win the war, and only total cooperation. Would you deliberately sabotage, or sell your country ~ Not for a million. But,( it 's the little things that count. 'l'he axis is overjoyed when rumors reached their eag·er walkouts, distrust,. and social clashes. Why 1ive them that satisfasction '/ D~ your part!
Work This Summer And Save The oncoming vacation approaches with underestimated rapidity. It won't be long until numerous boys who are now your best ' ' pals'' will be in uniform instead of letter sweaters. It will be all new for them. · How many times have you been asked so casually, "\Vhat are you g·oing to do this summed" And without givng it any thought you have answered, "Oh, loaf, I guess." But 8top ! Consider it thoroughly. 'l'hcres ' a war on now, have you heard? Even though you've looked forward to it so much, sacrificed those sunny days, just right for swimming, or sleeping or a good game of golf, for a job to help solve not only the present labor problem, but to shorten the length of the war. Jobs pay well now, and extra money is no burden. Invest in war stamps and bonds for future use when money won't be quite so plentiful. Maybe you face the problem so often brought up .by sophomores. ''f'm not old enough." "I can't get a job." "I'm too young. " Here is t he catch. Farmers are badly in need of help and offer jobs to anyone · over fourteen and the pay is good. .Jobs pertain not only to boys, girls are l'ligible as well, especially for office jobs, typing, shorthand and so on. Find yourself a position to release a bov for the service. Boys, think "how a good job out in the sun and air will develop you and help instu·e your health. Would you deny your·self a g·ood game of golf1 Don't deny yourself a job either. Jt 's really your privilege. And don't forg·et to invest those wages into war bonds!
Recreation Plays Important Part in Wartime The problem of a place to play is becoming more important as smnmer draws near. What, with gas rationing and tire rationing, it is becoming more and more difficult to '' go places '' as was the custom before the war. What conld provide a bettct· place to play than vonr own home?

Dear S. E. (That's short fo r Static E dit.or, as I don't want to take up much room in this important column.) I will get right down to business as I don't like this beating around the bush. Yesterday I got to thinking (I guess yon can't go to school without thinking at one tilrte or anothei·) about diferent schools setting aside certain days for certain things, like ''Sadie Hawkins Day" or "Everybody Wear Overalls'' etc. First I thought it would be nice to have " Half Day." 'l'he first half of the school comes the first day and t he second.. half of the school comes the second day. But that would be very unfair·to the students, as the teachers would get to c.ome both days. So I finally decided to have both halves of the school come the same day, that day being Friday, and then nobdy would come the next d ay. If yo'u t hink this is a good idea be sure to tell me as I will take the matter up with Mr. Mardis iIDmediately. Yours trnl.v. Helpful Horace.
" What was your fir st impression of Lincoln high school?'', your A dvocate reporter asked Joan McAdam, a. newcomer to the sch ool. Her reply was simply, "I really can't say, except that I wa.s scared to death." J oan comes from Des Moines, Iowa, where she attended R oosevelt h igh school. She says the t wo schools are about the same size, but at Roosevelt the auditorium is large en.ough to accommodate everyone at once. Joan likes Lincoln high students very much She plans to make n ursing h er career. Another newcomer to t he school is Hannan Louise Johnson, a n llA, who comes from an all girls h igh school in San Francisco. According to Hannah that school is also about the same size a.s Lin coln high. (And when you s t op to think abont it, that's a. lot of g irls;) When asked what she thought of Lincoln high school, s he replied, ''I don't really know yet, but boy, the subjects here are sure lots easier !"
Dad'& Yearly Ride There's an event that comes in spring, In almost every ·family; It's when Dad feels like a k ing, And has his yearly spree, He says he thinks he'll start to walk, Or ride a bike to town ; And that's when someone starts to talk, About him r unnin' down ; "You're gettin' on in years you 1
k.now,''
You remind him with a smirk; "And boy, you'd really puff and blow, "If you rode a bike to work." It cuts his pride q,own to the quick, To hear a crack like that ;· "Th ere ain't a bike that I can't lick," He says, " And I'm not fat." At this you laugh and sist er smiles, And Mother leaves the room ; She knows that this will g et dad riled, And t hings will hap.ven soon. Then sure enough, the storm breaks l~ose, And .a form goes out the door, Once more Dad's fallen !or the ruse, He'll t ry to r id e the bikca once more. The fa mily goes out on the porch, To see this yearly treat; And mom can see t hat Dad is scorched, .As he climbs upon the seat . "The seat 's too high, it 's out of line, 0 He says before he goes; If he's unsuccessful again this time, There's his a libi, we k now. "Please do be car eful, Clyde," Mom says, before he starts; She remembers last year's ride, With all its broken partsJ Then dad goes weaving up t he block, "Gee W hiz!" Bud exclaims; (Last year he ran into a rock, .And ruined all his aims ) By now he isn't doing bad, He's g·oing pretty fast; "Look; no hands!" is heard from Dad, .As he goes flying past. Then there's the crash, and Bud says "Wow!" And Mother has no !ear; She knows that all is over now, At least for one more year. Don Shepherd.
Salt C1·eek Has Many Branches Salt creek, like many other rivers and streams, has tributaries or small branches, which r un in various · directions from t he main creek. Many of these tributaries of Salt creek such as Ant elope creek, Haines Branch, Dead Man's run, Oak creek, Beals slough and Middle cr eek are located in and around Lincoln. It is interesting and useful to learn where 'the.se small s treams are located an d the names of them, as you would k now a street or a building in town. Salt creek flows north and empties into the Platte river near Ashland, Nebraska. As this muddy and very crooked creek s kirts Lincoln on the w·e st, one of its first tributaries sout h of town to empty into it is Beals slough, which flows in from the east, when full · of water. Then comes Haines branch, flowing from the west through Pioneer's park and into Salt creek just north of the Boy Scout cabin. As the creek . advances, Middle creek empties in from the west. Nor!h of town. Salt c reek t urns slightly northeast, picking up t wo tributaries, Antelope cr.,ek from t he southeast and Oak cr eek from the west. Finally, as the creek straightens out and heads almos t due north, Dead Man's run flows in from the s outhea st.

Covers " Personal H istory" by Vincent Sheean should prove to be of vital interest to anyone who follows th e trend of cur rent events very closely in the light of past and present happen ings. James Vincent Sheean was a student of the University of Chicago in 1918. He never took a course which he thought he could not pass with ease. He became a r eporter on t h e New York Daily News in the yea r 1921 and a f ter a year in New York he went t o Paris w here because of lack of funds h e got a job as foreign correspondent for the Chicago Tribune. Through his w ork he· was given an insight into the politics and diplomacy of F rance. The more he delved into politics and politicians the more cynical his attitude became. As a foreign cor respondent he gained fam e during the Rif war, when she ran the Spanish blocka de in an effort to get a st ory from the r ebel s ide of t he conflict. H is reports were th e only repor ts to come fro m the inside of t he Rif. By the time he left the R if his attitude was influen ced in one great . w ay. That was h is a ttitude toward Imperialism. "That I mperialism was murderous and hy pocritical was no new discovery, But until these jour neys to the R if I ha d not realized its awful stupidit y- t he ghastly wrong-headedness with which it sacrificed the time a nd lives of it s best men for t h e enrichment of its worst." Having left the Rif and r et urned to the United States a famous man, he was immediately sent by the North American Newspaper . A lliance t o China to cover the Chinese revolution. It was here t h at he met one of the most influential pers ons in his life, Rayna Prohrne, an America n serving as secr etary to the leaders of the ' Chinese revolution, and learned to view current e vents in the "long v iew.." During visits to England and Moscow a nd in the P arthenon a t Athens, that id.ea became a live a nd a real t hing. l:t was t here that Rayna P rohme's argument fi· nally won out. "Do it in your own way- find your wa y! See thin gs as straight as you can a nd put them into words that won't falsify them."

Physical Fitness Program ls Important . For Keeping Anierican People Strong · By MILDRED McADAMS.
W ar emphasizes physica l fit · nes11, a nd a lso brings out faults that should be corrected. It ia the duty of every loyal American to keep himself in cond ition to aid in production and bring victory nearer. Health is very important for speed, ability, endurance, and reserve power. Before the United States entered the war, t he selective s ervice rejected 50 percent of the men be· cause of physical disablements. The inductees n ow are said t o be soft. This seems ·to prove that we're not u p to what we should be. America is out to prove th at democracy is t he strong est. T his fact cannot be established unless everyon e does his part. In time of national emerg e1icy, everybody should be on his .toes and in tip· top condition. War cr eat es health hazards such as food shor tages, and a shortage of doctors and n urses. Therefore nutritious meals must ·be carefully
pla nned, and your doctor's t ime must be cons erved. A great many of our cities a re over-c1:pwded, which brings on unsanitary living conditions. This must be overcome. Science is proving that w e can be l:)etter nourished now than ever before, regardless of the wa r , if we jus t know the r ight way to go a bout it. Civilians as well as soldiers, in peace as well as in war, should be physically fit. Try to plan a progTam for yourselves to follow each day such as: sitt ing, st a nding and walking cor rectly; eating the r ight kind of food ; doing some kind of calis thenics ; correcting your physical defects as soon as they a re brought to your attention; seeing your family physician for a dvice ; and participating in sports · a nd organizations that are esta.blished to benefit you. Al-1 thes e things contrib~te to your success in doing your part in the great crisis.

Open Forum j To t he Editor: The very first day I entered Lincoln high scnool I was very much impressed by the neatness, all desks in order, and the halls free from paper. N ow that I'm a junior , I think it is up to our class a nd the classes who follow to keep up this s tandard. And t h at s tandard should be very easy, such as not marking u p the desk s by carving initials and marking up the seats by putting your feet on .them. And secondly, throw your waste p aper in the waste paper baskets instead of on the floor and in the halls. These f ew su ggestions sound rather silly and small, but they mean a great deal in keeping Lincoln high school the kind of school of which we can be proud. At the present t ime Lincoln hig h s chool is very short on custodians and ther efore I think it is up to u s t o keep Lincoln h igh school the best and clea nest school ever. Mabel West. To t h e E ditor : I know not w hat the rule is or what its purpose is, but I do k n ow t hat there is a rule which prevents the selling of war bonds and stamps in our school. To me, this rule se~n:i.s v ery unpa triot ic and without backing.. While at a recent H i-Y Girl Reserves conference, I attended a discussion led by Miss Louise Morley, daughter of Christoph er Morley. the novelist, and n ationally known speaker because of her recent trip to E ngland. In the course of t he discussion Miss Morley said. that the boys 3.!1d girls of England sell war stamps just as we do. She was very surprised to learn that the schools of Lincoln aTe not p erforming this service. With this I take leave hoping something can be done about our embarra sing situation. Don Sutherland.

Writers Club Issues Annual Scribe; Containing Poems, Essays And Stories short stories a nd a sprinkling of clever metaphors make up the 1943 Scribe, published by the writers club of Lincoln high school and presented to the school, May 5. Persons other than mem hers of this organization were also permitted to enter material. Due to shortages, the magazine had to be cut down in - the number of articles used, but this seems to m ake the Scribe more enjoyable. The influence of the war is also seen in quite a few poems and short stor ies. Excellent description can be found in "Home is the H unter" by T ed S orensen which is m oving and emotional. Bobby Cooke showed tender understanding in his first prize essay "In the Hope That I Shall Meet Him Again," a tribute to a dead friend. Virginia Lee White's poem, "Tempus F ugit " touches a sad note as it speaks of the loneliness of someone whose love was far away. R eceiving second place in poetry was Robert Her tzler's "To
with the thought, "those who kill, are slain." William Miller's "Little Man , What Next," which received second place in the essay division, is an enter t aining article on how writers change the American youth f rom what he really is to an entirely .different type of person. Touches of humor, in t he form of m etaphors and limericks mingle with bits of v ivid description. "Vengeance," by Robert H ertzler expresses vividly dramatic notes, and clearly, the pathetic situation. "When the Trains Go By," b y Peggy Shelley, is a clever interpretation of a high school situation.

The Red and Black cinder squad Will defend tis state trac.k crown at the university stadium when the state meet, highlight of the prep track season, rolls around this Friday and Saturday. A fifteen-man squad will try to. annex Lincoln's third major title (football, basketball and track) for the second straight year. North Platte and Omaha Tech offer some splendid opposition for the Links to battle. In the track events, the Lincoln squad has Eugene Parsons and Jack Wells qualified in the 440. Holding dow~ the 880 will be dependable Charlie Valencia, while Bud Hertzler will run in his pet event, the mile. Ben Munson will be the sole Red and Black man in the hurdles when he hops • over the 220 fows. The Lincoln 880 relay team is also entered. In the field events, Harold Becker and Dick Pi.d erit are entered in the shot put while the latter will also double in the discus. Dolan will hold down the broad jump.

High jumpers Chuck Bolus and Roland Wolfe round out the Lincoln squad which will be gunning fot its fifth track championship in six seasons. Strong Competition This Year.
Jack McCartney of North Platte a.n d Omaha Tech's Marvin Hall, are two boys who make the going plenty tough for the Links. Hall showed his true form at the Missouri Valley meet when he clipped two-tenths o fa second off the high hurdle mark to establish a time of :15.2. The state record is 15 flat. He also .has a time of :23.2 in the 220 low which is four-tenths of a second over the state mark. McCartney runs the 220 and his best time to date is :22.7, and he also set a new Southwest conference second in the broad jump of 21 feet 8l(z inches. Two boys from the western part of the state, Lyle Rogers of Alliance and Mike Schellhase of Kearney, have a time of :52.7 in the 440, so this should prove to · be an interesting race.

Spring Vacation Ideal-Archery Sunn y days of spring va cation proved t o be only a pre-view of the summer v acation t o several students of Lincoln high school. Archery and camera ent husias t s witnessed for t he first time t his year the thrill of som e w arm sun~ine which is so vital t o most sports. Pioneer's park s erved as the most likely place for sportsm en to let all the energy t hat they have been saving up during the idle winter months explode. As proof cf this, Ernie Weir, fourt h place winner in the stat e archery tournament, shot an· arrow through a ~round squirrel at a distance of more than twenty yards. A feat ·such as this has been a ccomplished by an archer from F r emont, but no other s uch cases a re on r ecord. A nother · a rch er, B ob Mannin g, was demonstrating h is skill in tracking dow n rabbits, but h is sole rew ard w as a n involuntary swim in a creek. When the vacation days of adventure a r e over , they inust in som e way st ill live on , and s napshot s of these a rchery expeditions, taken by Leo Geier, will help t o prolong those mem ories.

Persons nomi· nated must be making at least 15 hours. and have a good citizenship rating. Home rocim representatives will hold their la.st meeting
in 306 this afternoon. The "reps'' held a meeting last week, May 12, in the auditorium at 1:45. All unused lockers in the building have been cleaned out by the representatives Who volunteered to do so. Some of the items found were a lunch that was probably left there in 1916, old Advocates, football equipment, two ski piµits, clothing, notebooks and other miscellaneous things. War stamp and bond promotion will be carried out in the school. Because of restricting regulations, the stamps and bonds cannot be sold in the school, but a record will be kept of how many Lincoln high school pupils buy outside of school. Representatives will cooperate with the Victory Corps in this work. The bookkeeping will be done by Victory Corps members. There is also to be another scrap drive. Barrels are to be placed in convenient places. About 70 scrapbooks for convaie5cent service men are being made by almost 40 home rooms. Repre.sentatives were asked to have their rooms ~omplete their acrapbooks and hand them in as aoon a1 possible.
From the Hi-
Point of View By Phyllis Mortlock.
ALEUTIANS DRIVE BEGINS • •• · American troops have landed on Attu in an attempt to wiggle between Kiska in the Aleutians and Japan itself. The announcemezit of the long-awaited drive to blast the Japs from the Aleutians was revealed Friday by the navy department which added that details would be released when the situation clarifies. UNIFIED COMMAND BRINGS VICTORY! "Unity brought success, sue~ cess brought unity .... That is the whole story of the African campaig11. All that remains is the clearing-up process. Factors which accounted for this sudden collapse of the enemy in Africa were the U. S. infantry, the ever wonderful Eighth Army, the Allied air assaults, the undoubtedly 2 to 1 superiority over the Axis in men and supplies, and the unity of every man in the. American, British and Free French force::;. AND WHAT AN HONOR .•• Antwerp was honored with a visit from Flying Fortresses and fighters last week. Incidentally in the umbrella of fighter planes were the new U. S. P-47 Thunderbolts i.n their first announced bat" tle. Arriving at their destination just before the sqn went down, the Fortresses scared away the Focke-Wulfs zooming up to intercept them, left their targets in flames and returned home. Several of the gunners didn't get to frre even a shot ·and not a single bomber was lost. GETTING OUT OF HAND, IS IT? The revolt in the Netherlands, the brainstorm of the Nazis is gaining momentum and speeding away . from them. Dead Were seventy patriots, defiant were 70,· 000 veteran Dutel). soldiers ordered to surrender to their captors, while German distributed leaflets, urging an uprismg to hasten "the hour · of liberation" were spread in a vain effort to ferret out the underground leaders. A liberation army of 75,000 is believed to be hidden somewhere in H9lland to go to the support of an Allied invasion.
Alumnus Stresses Foreign Language In a recent letter to Miss Annetta Sprung, Pvt. Thomas Moon, former Lincoln high student states that foreign languages are very important to the war effort. He particularly emphasizes French and German. The outfit in which he is, is now being trained by officers who fought in Africa and the Solomons. In regard to the popular opinion about 'teen aged soldiers, "People think 'teen age boys are too flighty to be made. into good soldiers. So far they (the soldiers ) have disproved all these theories. It really gives you a good feeling to be with soldiers your own age, and they are really good fighters." Tom feels as many soldiers feel, that they are doing very little individually, but that it all adds up. Recently with the Para-Troopers in Georgia, Tom was rejected due to a bad eye. All the men in his outfit were just out of school. "They go about their work as hard as they can. Its just a slowly growing hatred against all that the enemy stands for that iB . driving them to the things they are doing. It seemed terrible at first, the way we were taught to kill and to warit to do it, but now we realize that this war won't be over until it is done."
Safety Group Airs 'Big Town' Sketch The once postponed radio play, based on the series of Big Town formel-ly given over CBS starring Edward G. Robinson and Ona Munson, is being brought to life Thursday, May 20, during home room period and is to be broadcast over the school sound system. The program is brought to Lincoln high by the safety committee of the student council in the interest of safety. The role of Steve Wilson, editor of the Illustrated Press, will be played by William Forrey and the part of his girl reporter, Loralie Kilborn, will be played by Patricia King. Other members of the cast are John Lovell, Thomas Sorensen, Lois · Hoffman, Virginia Kramer, John. Yeager, John Holbrook, John Lynn, William Miller, and Robert Gillan. Sound effects are run by Gillan and Miller who wiU be kept busy with four turn tables, with sound effects records on . them at. all times. Winifred Lockhart Ayers is director. This play was planned once before last semester, but the rationing program interfered. Pictures sent to the students of Lincoln high by Edward G. Robinson and Ona Munson will be on · the bulletin board in front of the office.
Swanson Wins Position As Result of Revote As a result of a vote taken in home rooms last week to break a tie between James Swanson and Margaret Pinkerton of the January senior class for vice-president and secretary, James Swanson won out.

New Courses For Summer Are to Train Students In Welding, Mechanics Corresponding Trades In order that as many pupils as possible will help in some way with the war effort this summer, a number of training courses are being offered. Courses in aircraft sheet metal, auto mechanics, machine shop, industrial electricity, foundry work, welding (both oxygen and electrical) , and mechanical drafting will be offered at the Nebraska State Trade School at Milford. Boys :must be 17 years old; tuition is free. The courses are from 10 to 13 weeks, eight hours per day, six days per week. Classes start at 2 a. m., 4 p. m . aI_ld 12 midnight. Those interested should call or write Nebraska State Trade School, Milford, Nebraska, or Trade School Division, State Department of Vocational Education, tenth floor, State Capitol, or telephone 2-6726 or 2-6680, or consult the nearest U. S. EmplOyment Service Office. This week a pre-employment course for senior boys and girls who wish to work in retail stores during summer vacation is offered. Thirteen pupils from Lincoln high made applications for this training. It is held from 3 :10 to 4:10 by the distributive education department. A short course was offered during spring vacation for farm labor, but many boys were w-0rking at the Burlington or elsewhere. If there is a demand similar to the one of last spring, such a course will be offered, probably meeting evenings at the . board of education building and Saturday mornings at the agricultural college. Minimum age requirement for this work is fourteen years.
Victory Corps A.nd Gardens Stressed For Helping Win War by Miss Kemp That victory gardens are. an important part of the war effort is the opinion of Miss Mildred Kemp, home economics teacher and director of the Lincoln high school Victory Corps. "We're trying to encourage people to have victory gardens, and help in any way to produce food," she said when interviewed recently on the work of the Corps. Some of the Lincoln high school pupils who have been working a great deal on their victory gardens are Bill Reinhard, Maryfrances Invin and James Stephens. Bill's garden is approximately 40 feet by 10 feet and his crops include peas, beans, radishes, lettuce, carrots· and beets. Maryfrancce h",cc a garden· lo feet by 19 feet. They have already eaten radishes and onions from the garden. James raises about the same crops in his garden that is about 50 feet long and 30 feet wide. All three work in their gardens in the eve!ling a.rtd sometimes after school and on Saturdays. . V-Corps Members to ·oo Farm Work. ·
Many Victory Corps members will be working on farms this summer. Dorothy Birkman and
Darlene Dieek are going to· drive tractors on their fathers' farms. Darlene has done this before, but Dorothy will be attempting it for the first time. There are approximately 168 members of the Lincoln high school Victory Corps now, according to Miss Kemp, a lthough it's difficult to state an exact number because of many of the boys leaving for the armed services; The community service division has the most members. When questioned if members cooperate to the fullest extent possible Miss Kemp remarked, "By far the greater per cent do." Victory Corps members have been wvrh' "rr ·at the OPA the recreation office, var10u" "~"nit als, and caring for children among other services. "All Victory Corps members try to do everything that they can to help with the war effort. It depends upon their. abilities and the needs just what they do," stated Miss Kemp. She concluded, "You can always join the Victory Corps. Every student who can meet the qualifi· cations should be a member."

French Dishes At Luncl1eon Typical French Menu Prepared By Home Ee Class, 55 Attend ''Allons enfants d e la patrie!" "Voulez vous me passer le beurre?" "C'est tres hon!" Such were the expressions coming from 112 last Thursday when Miss Annetta Sprung's French 4 class and Mrs. Katherine Henninger's home economics 11 class held a joint luncheon. The program was 0 pened with the singing of "La Marseillaise," the national anthem of F rance, followed · by the Army Air Corps song and the Marine hymn. The luncheon, which was typical of any midday repas in France, consisted · of: Hors. d'oeuvre pate de foie gras .. canape (imported goose liver spread on a small square of bread) celeri en branches (celery curls) carrottes (carrot strips ) radis (radish roses) Entree peperade (made of bacon, garlic, tomatoes, peppers, onions, and eggs) pomrrtes de terre robe de chambre... au gratin-(a baked mashed potato with cheese) petits pans (biscuits) buerre (butter) Dessert crepes suzettes (a pancake fried paper thin, with butter and marmalade, rolled loosely, and sprinkled with powdered sugar) The menu was prepared by the home .economics class the day before. the luncheon. The home economics class and the French class made up a group of approximately 55 persons. M. C. Lefler, H. C. Mardis, and 0. H. Bimson were guests. Geraldine Poska presided at the luncheon. Miss Annetta Sprung gave a toast to Mrs. Katherine Henninger and her cooking class for the food that they prepared. The guests, M. c . Lefler, o. H. Bimson and H. C. Mardis, were toasted by Betty Jo Packard, and Robert Hertzler proposed a. +." ""t to the committcc:s in charge of the luncheon. Mary Lancaster recog1lized Betty Jo Packard for typing the menus, and Erma Tyrrell for making the place cards. The tables were decorated with flowers, and much of the conversation was conducted in French.
Victory Corps Tallies Results 300,000 Lbs. of Metal, 5,000 Lbs. of Rubber; 685 Books Collected The Victory Corps committee met Thursday morning, May 13, and the Corps met Thursday at 2 :45 in the auditorium to report on accomplishments. Becky Allen opened the meeting and Bill Dickson told of the stamp drive. For the Lincoln high stamp drive the Victory Corps will keep a record of all stamps purchased by the students with their own money. May 1-17 total was $3069.05. L incoln schools have contributed nearly $1.500 to the R ed Cross fund, half of this coming f rom the membership drive last October. In the Victory book campaig11 685 books were donated to the armed forces while in the Red Cross button drive Lincoln schools turned in nearly a million buttons. A total of 300,000 pounds of assorted metal and · abou t 5 ,000 pounds of rubber were piled out on the scrap piles last fall. The money that came from the selling of the scrap was turned back into constructive material to be used by the different vocational arts departments · in the production of useful articles for t he Lincoln Air Base, now being used in the daily routine, hospitals and moments of relaxation. I n the first aid classes pupils have completed their j uni or courses of first aid . Students of America are urged to become Jun ior Red Cross members, that later they will become eager and active members in the senior organization. Speakers for the Junior Red Cross in the Red Cross Pageant at the Cornhusker Friday were William Dickson a nd Velma McGrew. Alsp in the pageant were Norman Lock, Marvin Curtis, Becky Allen and Mary Chappell. In the third scrap drive being conducted this week, Lincoln schools will p articipate Thursday and Friday, May 20 and 21. This time it is a metal drive. It should be brought to the north end of the driveway at Lincoln high where a number of barrels will be labeled iron, copper, wire, brass and for any other metals.
Associate Justice Wenke, of t he .Nebraska Supreme court, spoke on " Courts, How they F unction" in the open m eeting of Forum Monday, May 10. During the business m eeting candidates were chosen for the officers of Forum for next year. Mr. Wenke described briefly t h ree kinds of writs. ·The most common, the habeas corpus writ , he called "the most sacred r ight of man." Another kind is a writ · obtained if a voter thinks a ma n r unning for office is incapable of holding that office. The last is one .o btained t o make a man in office perform his duty. Court Structure.
The structure of courts was outlined by Mr. Wenke, the police court being the low est court, and only being able to fine up to $300. The next, the county or municiple court, can sentence up to six months in jail and ~500 fine. Of dist rict or jurisdictional courts there are 35 in Nebraska, 24 being in Lancaster county, 9 in Omaha and 2 scattered over the state. The last and. highest court is the supreme court. No original action is taken there. All evidence is in hand before one takes a case to the supreme court which is the last court of appeal. State Institutions.
In describing'· state 'institutions where the convicted are sent, Mr. Wenke started with industrial institutions from where boys and girls are r eleased when they are 21 if they haven't been before. If it is the first offense for a person from 18 to 31 years of age, he is often sent to the industrial institutions if there is a chance of rehabilitation. B esides the boys a nd girls industrial institutions there ·are men's and women's reformatories· and the state penitentiary. The state institutions for the insane at Norfolk, Hastings and Lincoln should be included.
Junior Debaters Sail Into Finals Semi-finals of the junior division of the inter-class debate held last Thur sday disclosed James Worcester and R obert Wenke to be the victors over Earl Comerford and Ware\ Olney. This winning team will now debat e against LeRoy Stoesz and Mark Wittenberg in the finals, which will be held either today or tomorrow to discover who the undisputed champions will be. Of the 17 sophomore teams of last week, only five remain. Robert Bryan and Ted Sorensen stand undefeated, while Nancy Gish-Patricia Felger, Robert FergusonEverett Evnen, Harris Graves. Waldo Hansen and Kellog Wilson and David Leonard have one defeat each. Another sophomore round will be held May 17.
Annual Picnic Held at Capitol Beach; Merry-go-round Thrills All Seniors After winning the Olympics, the senior class gathered at the Capitol Beach, Friday, May 14, to celebrate. Teachers were post ed at the gate to keep out t hose who were not of the senior class. All seniors had a wonderful time riding·' on amusement devices at t he beach. Taking h igh honors by being ridden th<> i n.Jilt, were the hot""" un the merry-go-round. It was kept on the go continually. The octopus thrilled many students, w ith the girls screaming occasionally. The way the students ran around with . weird paintings on their faces, an outsider would be positive t hat a band of Indians had invaded the place. Don Andrews had an exciting tim e driving a " Dodgem" car sur-
rounded by women d river s. He survived though. The roller skating r ink captured many st udents. From the sound of things, it wasn't all smooth skating. Lunch was served by the teach ers, and consisted of cheese and meat sandwiches, potato salad, cup cakes, lemonade and ice cream. Gerry Michel, president of the class of '44, succeeded in u psetting her "temporary" table and consequently she received about seven cups of lemonade in her lap. Elaine Jones and Elaine Elliott had car trouble due to the pranks of a few boys, but Minnie Bochoven prov ed her skill as a mechanic by fixing something. The picnic closed at around five o 'clock , with the seniors wearily dragging home to r est a nd wa t'm up.

Dr. Flansburg Urges Students To Get As Much Training As Possible Before Being Drafted Into The Armed Forces "High school boys who wish to .b ecome .' doctors by all means should begin university and get as much training toward this profession as is possible before they are drafted," was the first statement in a recent interview of Dr. H. E. Flansburg, for 29 years Lincoln physician. "Many medical students feel they can defend their· country better if they enlist in the armed forces. This is not true;" said Dr. Flansburg. "War causes dis ease to increase. This is because soldiers and defense workers are all living and working so close together." Naturally when one person gets a contagious disease it is apt to spread .rapidly. For this reason, doctors and nurses are and will be. in great demand. "Boys who wish to become doctors, but who enlist instead of beginning their university training will probably never fullfi11 this desire, because after the war they will begin work in new field s in which they can support thems elves, instead of taking eight or t en years out at this time to prepare themselves to become doctors or dentist s." Dr. Flansburg stated that he felt the amount of liquor the high school boy consumes is not so harmful in the fai:t that it tears
down his health, but because of its stimulating effect which causes the consumer to . lose his better judgment and do very foolish things. "Many nurses are needed at the hospitals now. The time is splendid for girls who wish to take up nursing as a career, the field could not be better," he affirmed. However he advises girls who have the opportunity to study nursing at a university to take advantage of it, instead of beginning their careers immediately because of the shortage. This is because a university or nursing college produces more competent and well t rained nurses. There will be a shortage of nurses as well as doctors after the war, thinks Dr, Flansburg. "There is no question but that girls who have been planning to become nurses will join the WAAC or WAVES or begin work in industrial plants instead of pursuing this vital and worthwhile profession . Ma ny will be trained just enough to assist regular nurses and for emergencies." When asked if he thought there is r eason to fear an opidemic like or as great as influenza in the last war, the doctor replied tha t there is definite possibility because disease spreads rapidly
If You're Seeing Double,It's No Wonder L.H.S. Boasts Ten Sets Of Tivins S eeing double? N o doubt, with ten sets of twins in Lincoln high school. Some are iden tical and it is difficult to keep from a s king tile same twin th e sam e question . twice. Max and Rex Redelfs , seniors, were new to Lincoln high last September. R ex would like to be an engineer or an officer in the Na vy while Max would like to be a flyer. The 6 foot 2 and 6 foot 3 twins dress alike, which makes it no easier to t ell them apart . Ma rvin and Melvin Hessheimer, seniors. would both like t o enter into Civil Service work and as yet haye no particular choice as to what they w~uld like to be. Also the St roh twins, Robert and Donald, are undecided. They are juniors a nd dress alike. Dick Bogan and Mary Kay Bogan are seniors. Dick would like to be a doctor and his hobby is golf, with s leeping a nd eating running a close s econd. Mary Kay wants to be a n accou ntant, w ith sewing as her particular int eres t . Mary Kay said she was glad t o have a twin brother instead of a twin sist e r. Robert and Roberta Cha dderdon are juniors. Roberta would like to enter the field of a rt a nd R obert h as no t yet decided. "One adva n tage," said Roberta, "We can help each other with our school work." The Lambert twins have the same idea too. They are A rlain e "Bluey" Lambert and Lorraine "Brownie" Lambert, so called beca use of their eyes. Th ey are juniors .and dress a like until on e of them disagrees. They like da n cing as a pastime and would lik e to fer ry bombers.

to "Bluey," and it was slightly embarrassing· for both. John and Paul Anderson are sophomores and are so identtcal their father s ometimes cannot t ell them apart. Dressing alike adds to the confusion. Paul stated he disliked being a twin because he often got blamed for John's trouble. Paul wants to be a farmer while John wants to be a prof essor. The Glissman twins, Betty and Bessie, a re sophomores. Both dress alike . and their ambitions are to become journalists. Gerald and J erald Chaffin are sophomores and like to participate in a ll sports, especially skating and swimming. They wish to become ranch ers. They dress a like and are so identical one cannot t ell them apart unless they are together and then it isn't easy. At a recent a ssembly, on e of the t eachers asked Jerald 1f he had come to the a ssembly twice. They are in d ifferent assemblies and the t eacher probably saw his brother. They like being t wins because they ca n do each other 's wor k. but they dislike their names -,ecause they sound too much alike. Last but not least are the Pierce twins , J ean and Jane, who a _re seniors . J ean likes horseback r iding and Jane did until she f ell off the hor se. Now s he has taken up gardening: They t oo dress a like and are identical. Their employer has to keep one at one end .o f the store and the other at the other end to know which is w hich. They would like to b.e mech anics a nd ferry bombers as soon a s possible.
among persons who are forced to live with seven or eight others. in one room, as are many. of our defense workers. Shifting of people from one part of the country to another is inclined to start a disease because of the difference in water, food and climate. Highly contagious influenza is known to come , in cycles of ten years and is a fierce di_sease. Not much is known that can be done to stop or help cure it except to isolate the affected person. Because the fear of another epidemic is so great it is more vital than ever that we have more doctors and nurses. "The epidemic of mumps and measles we have just had has been light and h as not overtaxed the doctors, therefore I do not believe it was caused by the war, but was an epidemic a little larger than usual for this time of year. Of course every war helps medicine to progress in prevention and ·treatment, however medical science has not progressed enough since the last war to prevent a fierce disease. "It is a common thing for m e to have a pa tient who is coming down with the flu, scarlet fever, or some contag ious disease, to say that he was not feelin g well," observed the ·physician, "and when questioned about his past activities reply that he had gone to church, a show, or some public place yesterday. This is a common way to start an epidemic. If you . are not feeling well, a.void public places, stay home from school for a day or so, until you
Million Miler--John T unis.
"The army rejects many men who should be a ccepted because they do not have perfect 20·20 vision or because they have one tooth missing. American youth on the average is not rejected be• cause of heart trouble, tuberculosis or serious diseases, but because of some trivial matter. People are mislead by this. American · youth is as strong and healthy as they have ever been. And in my opinion, the boys and girls of America are superior in strength and health to youths of foreign countries."
Defense Program Started To ,K eep Up Home Morale "The a rmy is as strong as its home morale." Things that boast our morale after a hard day's work a re relaxation and recreation. With things gear ed to the pace of war, our usual activities are not available and that "must" of a summer vacation will have to wa it due to troop movements and the lack of tires and gasoline. So subs titute · home r ecreation is being discussed in schools this week for t he patriotic service theme. Pros pects are endless as to the activities that can be enjoyed right in the home. That v ictory g arden needs t ending right n ow . How about that swing you promised to make for your sister and w.ouldn't a n ew bird house look fine out back ? You've only r ead two chap· t er s in that book you just got a nd there are swell radio programs on tonight. W orking and playing around home will keep you in good health and make you better on t he job. This home play progr am for home defense is s ponsored by the Lincoln Recreation Boa rd, the Lincoln Council of P a rent Teache r a ssocia t ions, a nd the Lincoln news-' p a pers.
Between the Covers Many persons have mistaken ideas concerning the lives and work of aviators. John Tunis, a uthor of "Million Miler," in his book has· stra ig thened out many of these ideas. , The book is a story of Jack Zim m erma n, chief pilot of the T.W.A. a nd the na m e, " Million Miler," is taken from a t erm given T.W.A. pilots flying one million miles after joinine- tho ~ -",'""'"Y · z.., ll1e first few chapters h e h a s told of the hard work that precedes a career of a viation.

feel well again, because hospital• are filled to capacity and an epi· ·d emic might prove fatal to many." Dr. Flansburg reported that every day people came in contact with gE!l'ms by way of their hands. If people would just take a little time to wash their hands after work and before they eat, a Jot of sickness could be prevented. The physician pointed out that the reason doctors and nurses are seldom sick is because of this. Dr. Flansburg concluded by saying, "People who say American youths are not in as good condition as men were in the last war or as men in other countries are today, are· entirely wrong."
because of flying ability. The stories of accidents Jack has been in and the r epair costs of one of them which a mounted to $25,000, proves very interes ting when compared to the equivalent damage on a ca p and the very low cos t of repairing . Throughout the book Mr. Tunis has talked to ! ack, a sking questions to clear up ideas a bout comm ci-cia! flying . ·H e has told of flying in good weather and he has taken the reader on bumpy rides through storm clouds. H e h as in· t roduced his readers t o the officers and m en who keep the pilots a nd their ships in the air. In the las t of the book is a calendar of important dates in aviation a nd a list of pr omin ent flier s. Another list of modern commercial aircraft g ives impor t ant data regarding these different planes. An yone who likes flying st ories s hould certainly r ead "Million Miler."

Cooperation of Pupils ls Wonderful Says Marilyn Houser, Cheerleader "Response of the pupils has been really swell and I have enjoyed being a L.H.S. cheerleader immensely," was the statement of Marilyn Houser, who has been cheerleader for the past two years. Marilyn has blue eyes and weighs 96 pounds. "Truthfully, I'm only four feet eleven inches tall but I always say five feet because it sounds better," she confessed. Marilyn first became cheer leader when she started her junior year. She tried out for cheer leader and Peppers, and made both. She was formerly a cheer leader at Wahoo and says she likes nothing better than the crowds, the noise and everything, especially the tournament games which are always thrilling. "I also like to watch our team play," she stated. When asked if the pupils were more responsive on some days than on others she said, "Definitely! The pupils are always more responsive when the team plays Northeast high and they weren't very co-operative when we played at Irving." Quite used to crowds, Marilyn said, "The only time I'm nervous is when the kids don't yell loud enough. It makes me feel awfully silly to stand up and lead a yell and have hardly anyone yell with

me. Also when I make a mistake. Otherwise I am completely at ease.''
Like any normal person, Marilyn said the first time she faced the audience her stomach felt as if she were going down an elevator at top speed. The only two games Marilyn missed were when the team played in the afternoons while she worked during Christmas vacation. Requirements for cheer leader are to be up in grades, have a good citizenship rating and also try out in front of judges. "My only suggestion to you guys and gals is to yell louder and louder and co-operate as much as you can," she conclud ed. All of the L. H. S. pupils will be sorry to see leave, this peppy little cheer leader who lovesroller skating, people who are friendly and sociable, "Night and Day," Yum Yums, picnics, .lavender, Sammy Kaye's orchestra and State Fairs, all hope that the next cheer leader will succeed in her work as Marilyn h as. Marilyn, w ho is a senior, will be graduated in June.

Bill Nico, 14 year old student at Calumet high school, Chicago, Illinois, is the president of t een age firm, the Midget Ma nufacturing Co. The company makes pants hangers for Uncle Sam's army. Midget Manufacturing produces one hanger every _ three m inutes . During the Missouri River flood, boys from Omaha South high school helped fill sandbags and h elped control stoc:, in stockyards.

According t o Miss Brugger, .N orth Africa looks m uch like Arizona, .with ba rren hills a lmost like .the Grnnd Canyon, but not s o colorful. 1t is a lso quite like. the tropics, with palm trees, magnolias a nd slow m oving, slow t alking people. The sky is blue an d t he air soft and lovely. \'Vhen the s un comes out it is quite warm, but when it goes behind a cloud it is cold.

Most of t he small children h ave infected eyes. She met a well dressed Turkish m an who spoke perfect English. H e t old her that the Americans are held in the highest esteem in Africa . Most of the women she has seen dress in west er n clothes, but occasionally she saw several veiled women with g old tube-like a ffairs over their noses.

'Chandler Tyrrell For President,' Quote Knudsen Chandler Tyrrell for president! Vote for Chandler Tyrrell and make 1964 the biggest year in history! All this will be signed by Jack Knudsen, campaign manager ..•. and you ask why people wonder. But don't think I'm in need of a straight jacket. I'm really not. But to relieve your minds, here is the story. On a sunny spring afternoon, which must have been lately, because spring just got here, Jack Knudsen and a few other persons with brain cells, were shown into the nurse's office, with me patiently explaining that they had sun stroke. While in their delirium, the gentlemen proceeded to map out a political campaign. At the last possible moment, someone happened to remember that a candidate was needed. It was finally decided, after a game of Gin Rummy, that Chandler Tyrrell had the most political sounding name in school and therefore, he was unanimously elected. .... So everyone vote for Chandler Tyrrell in 1964. All right, Nurse, I'm ready.

HITLER'S MILLSTONE-
Radio Berlin hints of mysterious "mass trials and mass executions" occurring inside Germany. Listening allies were puzzled until the key to the mystery was found. Four out of every five workers in nazi factories are foreigners. And it is these 5,000,000 "employees" who have been showing the British and American bombers just where to aim. Allied reconnaissance planes pictured the entire Rhur valley-paralyzed. Just one example. ALLIED AIR POWER GROWS-
Twice in three nights British mosquito planes bombed Germany without losing a plane, while in an air battle over Occupied E:.:rope, seventy-three axis planes were downed. Nazi submarine oases, Emden and Wilhelmshaven, were in the news again this week. An allied communique reported, "Despite heavy enemy opposition and intense flak" the assaults were pressed home and a large weight of bombs dropped."

Mr. Fenn spoke at t he double assembly F riday, delivering his addresses with subtle humor and sincer e earnestness. Mr. Fenn told each group differ ent facts on Asiatic conditions. · "China has lost only 10 per cent of its four m illion square m iles," continued Mr. Fenn. "No Axis power can defeat China, India, or Russia , because of their vastness of area ." He also stressed the Chinaman's ability to 'do work, and h is loyalty to his cou ntry. Many soldiers are not paid, most of t hem are poorly uniformed. Mr. F enn concluded h is addres s with the appea l, "We m ust learn to co-operate so t hat w e can preserve human decency," he emphasized.
·Stamp and Bond Drive Goal Is Anti-tank Gun The May goal for the stam p and bond drive is $6,000, a nd for the first two weeks, May 1 to Ma y 17, the report of stamp and bonds bought by the students outside of school with their own money, had reached $3,069.05. This amount would pay for a s ub-machin e gun, a jeep and a Lia ison plane. If t he g oal of $6,000 is reached, a sound locator could be bought.

Seniors Set Styles Although the title may be misleading, this
is for every different rank of classman to read because, maybe some day you '11 be a senior in high school, college, or a senior officer, whether yo1i wear bars or stripes. A.s is obvious during the school day , seniors set the example. Naturally, it is realized that every institution such as ours has its tradit ion, rules, written and otherwise, and Lincoln high is no exception. For instance, to cover both the abovementioned items, would the boys of the sophomore class gather arotmd the section of lockers between room 228 and the Advocate office, if the senior boys hadn't been doing it for some time '? Or would everyone naturally congreg!ite around room 125 af ter school if it weren't commonly done to begin with~ Hardly. So, why not, instead of misleading those innocent sophomores whose life at ,junior high is so entirely different because of limited activity, do a good deed daily by setting the right example. By now, everyone, unless new to the school, knows the so-called "ropes". All those little things such as the best excuses to give, the way you can get through examinations and all the cheap. idiotic trick~ called "ClLte" by imbeciles. j'\ext year, oh, it will be great fun to torment the new students with vonr illgotten knowledge. But think twice b~fore vou you slip. Education means more than e"ver today. Don 't poison their minds. Clean house in your own while you're at it.
Enter Extant Exa1ns This current ''.reek will be spent bv the majority in participating (vdth great ·fear for the most part) in the current series of final examinations. I have tried to take it all in my stride, very unsuccessfully. Sleepless nights and drow:;y days are the only compensation. During examination week, I firmly resolve to spend the next semester studying, so as to avoid these la~t minutes brain lashings. And so, likewise this year. Here's an idea thouo·h.

Einie Angledome ls Inspiration Of Hobart Hayes "My cartoon strip, Einstein Angledome, had an odd beginning," stated Hobert Hays, senior, when interviewed by an Advocate reporter. Hobert said that he was handing in a sports illustration to Miss Belle Farman, Advocate adviser, with some cartoons on the back of the sheet of paper. She turned the paper over and was amused at the drawings, suggested that he draw some of them for the Advocate. He decided on Einstein as the namb for a smart alee kid who thought he knew everything, and the Angledome for the shape of his head. · "This is how Einstein Angledome was originated," he stated. When asked if he would like to be a cartoonist after completing high school, he said that he would like it very much.
Successful Play ls Presented By Safety Group Because of the wonderful sound effects (not including the sound for the crash which was only a falling book, used when the real sound wouldn't work), the seemingly experienced actors and actresses, and the excellent direction of Mrs. Winifred Lockhart Ayers, the Big Town radio play held many tense listeners when it was presented over the sound system last Thursday. Special mention ought to be given to John Holbroolt who played the part of a boy who had to !earn a lesson the hard way. Also Thomas Sorensen and Lois Hoffman were extre_m ely good in the role of parents whose son didn't profit by his father's mistakes. William Forrey and :Patricia King were very successful in portraying the well known characters, Steve and Loralie. Although the ending of the story seemed almost too sad for even the listeners t o take, it was strong enough to teach a good less.?n , a lesson well learned by the students of Lincoln high school.
Between the Book Ends Sam Small Flies AgainEric Knight.
Often diversion from heavy, serious reading is sought in the form of light fiction. Then the book which is simple and restful, without being disgustingly simple, is surely welcome. The story of · Sam Small, a stubby and stubborn, likeable Yorkshireman, does not pretend to be educational, credible, or full of any particular meaning. Sammy Small is usually content to spend a quiet evening with the lads at "The Spread Eagle" discussing knotty problems over a pint of ale and a game of darts. But when he become entangled in some of his amazing adventuresit takes the form of a modern "grown-up" fairy tale. You needn't be too guillible to enjoy Sam's adventure in America when he found he could fly like a bird and made his flying debut at Madison Square Garden in pink tights. For the- narrative is . as simple, genuine and inno·cent and so paved with earnestness, it is a good deal like the character of Sam himself. Nor is it very surprising when he acquires a dog that talks (at. the most inconvenient times), or when, meditating the problem of split personalities, he suddenly finds he is two people, or when Sunday lasted a whole week in the village of Polkinthorpe Brig. Sam Small's crowning achievement is forestalling the invasion of England after flying Rudolph Hess to Scotland. Really good imaginative writing is rare in these times, and it would probably be least expected from such a writer of serious books as Eric Knight, author of "This Above All," "Song on Your Bugle," etc. But he did a wonderful thing for humorous literature in creating Sam Small for any lover of a tall tale.

Aviation ls Revolutionizir.,g The World; Will Contribute to Peace as to· War BY MILDRED McADAMS.
Aviation has revolutionized the world. Through aviation in wartime, enemy cities are bombed; vessels sunk; paratroops are landed; air photographs are made; submarines ·are spotted. They are used for observation purposes; and also the army air transport servi~e.
It is up to all to prepare themselves for something ·new. Everyone must become accustomed to blackouts, gas masks, air raid shelters, etc. The war has brought about amazing progress in design, structure, efficiency, and control of our aircraft. Longer flights are now made than were ever dreamed possible. Heavier loads are carried, and higher speed attained. There is an enormous increase in the production rate. Assembly line methods ahve been perfected to a great extent. The production facilities themselves have undergone a great expansion. In 1940 the United States produced 500,000 planes. · In the month of April, 1943, alone, it produced 70,000, and a goal of 900,000 planes has been set for 1943. It is believed at the close of the war a great national air force will be organized for the purpolle of policing the conquered coun-
tries, and for the prevention of further aggression. This air force should, however, also contribute to international friendship. A great many economic changes will ha,_e to be made to bring all this about. In fact there will be a great number of changes made in all peace time living. For example: rt formerly took three weeks to get from New York to Bombay by surface routes. After the war it will be but 31 hours away by air. There will be a great speeding up of mail service and all first class mail will go by air. There will be large planes built for cargo and express. There will be heavy locomotive planes to tow motorless cargo planes. This vast expansion in air travel will undoubtedly bring about the development of quanti· ties of natural resources which could not formerly be taken care of because of their location. Something everyone can do to get ready for an air age are: Become familiar with the new vccab· ulary that has come with the increased use of airpower; learn of the vocations connected with the air; take mathematics and know its importance; learn to read new polar maps and to interpret weath· er maps; build model airplanes; and last but not least keep physic· ally fit.
Examinations Will Start
Wednesday, l\'Iay 26 Examinations will start Wednesday, May 26, with two periods scheduled the first day and one each of the following days of classes, concluding June. To avoid a two-hour stretch Wednesday morning, as tentatively scheduled, tests will be given first and third periods, with second on Thursday. There are less than two more weeks until school is out. Tuesday May 4, twelve-weeks marks were given out by teachers.

Girls Glee Gives Three Programs _Members of the _L incoln high girls glee club under the direction of Miss Helen Stowell presented three programs during a period of ten days recently. A novelty song, "The Sly Little Man With The Great Big Ears," which was written by Annette Jacobs, a member of the glee club, was included in the last two performances. The first appearance was for the Schoolmasters club on Friday, May 14, at the Lincoln hotel. Songs included in the program were "Glorious Forever," "Kathryn's Wedding Day," "Invocation to Life," "'Children of the Moon,~ "Sun and the Warm Brown Earth," and "The Ramparts We Watch." The same selections were given at Irving junior high school on Friday, May 21, and at the U.S.O. on Sunday, May 23. The boys glee club also partici· pated in the program given at the U.S.O. Their numbers were, "PraisE\ Ye the Lord," Saint Saens, "Oh God of Love,'" "Old King Cole," "The Marine's Hymn" and "The Army Air Corps Song."

Bouman Sisters Find Their Activities In Sports Interesting And Enjoyable
Minstrel Show Is Given For Base
Often. confused by sports copy editors and others are the names of Esther May and Jeanette Marie Bouman, better known as May and Marie Bouman. They are not twins', but are very close together as far as sports are concerned. Marie is a 12A and has made an outstanding record in the girls sports world while attending Lincoln high. She has won emblems in tennis, baseball, basketball, hiking, ping pong, speedball, tap dancing, salesmanship and modern dancing. She won a letter in tennis and baseball and two in basketball. Her favorite sports are tennis and baseball and she gives credit to Bertha Schneider for teaching her how to play. They have won school championships twice. Marie played· on local softball team last summer. The team became city champion and each girl received a baseball award. Her other favorite pastime is drawing and she would like to become a designer. Physical education and history are her favorite subjects. May is a 10-B and is as athletically minded as her sister. She has won emblems in baseball and basketball. May also played at Muny last summer on a softball
A minstrel show was put on by a half soldier-half civilian cast at the air base theater Sunday night, May 23. Most of the g irls who participated are from Lincoln high. They are Margaret Ann Amend, Jean Andrews, Alene Babich, Ermajean Blado, Marylouise Brodie, Shirley Campbell, Joyce Edwards, Arleen H einz, Betty Lamb, Patsy Meyer, Barbara Jean Olsen, Geraldene Poska, Sara Schmall, Jean Ward, Gloria Waugh, Betty Whit m ore, Marion Wolf. Former Links, Audrey Meyer and Betty Meyer were also in the show. The girls ate their supper ;it t he base in one of the mess halls in regular anny style. After a few small difficulties such as hot water instead of cold, getting used to eating everything from a tray rather than dishes, and crawling over benches, they had just become used to things when they heard a ca nnon shot and, a fter many questions, found that they had to be qu!et for a little while as this was retreat. Before the stage show went on, the guests saw a movie.
Lincoln Skaters In Detroit Meet "I took up the sport of roller11kating last May," stated Kurt Sienknecht, senior, who attended the National Roller Skating Contest in Detroit, May 11-15. Kurt and his partner, Shirley Winkelman, took first place in the Iowa-Nebraska skating meet held here May 20. They then entered the national meet. About 33 contestants were entered. Kurt and Shirley placed thirtieth.
team. Reading and drawing are her favorite pastimes. She wants to be an airplane hostess. Through junior h igh, both girls participated in sports. Marie remarked that no other girls in their family have taken an interest in sports, not even their brothers, although they liked to watch them. Many people have remarked t o .them that they should have been boys because of their int erest in sports. Marie will graduate this June and she exclaimed, "I'll surely miss the Olympics of L incoln high. It's really been keen competition." So as Marie graduates, May will be left to further build up the reputation of the Boumans in the sports world.

The North African troops continue their attack on Sicily, Sardinia and Pantelleria, the island stepping stone of Italy. Allied bombers scored probably ten direct hits on the giant dam which supplies most of Sardinia's· water Airmen related that they could see "water gushing out in a great flood." Flying Fortresses battled II. 60-mile gale to bomb a Sicilian airport as well as the axis planes of which three were shot down. Under Mussolini's orders, all civilians are being evacuated from Sicily and Sardinia. German progandists are working hard to coi:ivince the Italian peopie that ~ally, Italy isn't losing the war!

Joseph E. Davies, a mission to Moscow, appears to have come to a happy end. Davies told newsmen, "I am fully satisfied with the success .of my mission." He remarked that going by the atmosphere of the Kremlin, Stalin liked and seemed .t o be in accord with the letter, from President R\osevelt. And What a Pattern!
The pattern of the new Jap drive into China, is taking shape. Attempts to capture Chungking, the war.ring nation's capital have, a:s yet, failed. The Japanese, apparently would like to control the Yangtze river, up to Chungking, thus choking off China's life blood, her rice fields: Odc:ls ~nd Ends. A late communique from General MacArthur reports the heaviest raid of the. war in the South Pacific. Twenty-eight tons of bombs were blasted down on the enemy's base of Lae, starting fires that could be seen for miles. And President Roosevelt issued an announcement from the Allies conference room in Washington to the effect that a joint conclusion and agreement has been reached concerning "our further operations." No less than 64 German planes were shot down in a· bitter sky battle over Novorrosisk, the Red announoed this week.

Youth's Task: Is Rebuilding Rev.· R. A. l\'IcConnell Addr:sses Seniors; Topic, Ivory Towers "Towers have been built for many centuries for purposes of defense and as portions of religious structures. For war and for the worship of God, men have withdrawn into their towers. But Ivory Towers have never · been built by the hands of man." These words were spoken by the Rev. Raymond A . McConnell, D.D., ,,as he delivered the sermon at the Lincoln high school 'Senior services at First Plymouth Congregational church Sunday, May 39. at 11:00 a. m. The Rev. Mr. McConnell spoke on "Rebuilding the Ivory Towers." According to him, today's ivory towers lie in ruins, bombed and battered by the wild forces of war and man's powers of destruction. America Must Choose. "It is to a world so largely de-
nuded of its ivory towers that the youth of this year's classes step forth. America will be tempted to exalt the mighty power she has mobilized .and to forsake her spiritual heritage and her highest ideals. America must choose, not after the war is won, but now, what God she shall serve." He claimed that the youth alone are the competent builders of the i~ory towers. Mr. McConnell feels that ¥outh believes in a peace for the development of human talents in arts. in science, and in living. He says they believe in freedom for each person and for every nation to develop all possible latent abilities and to enjoy that creative growth in co-operation with others. The minister claimed that this belief and faith that youth has is religious faith. It is essential Christianity. Our Christian faith in God and man and in man's freedom and future in the ivory tower. Faith Wins Victories.
"I summon you to rebuild the ivory towers and to resort there often for your own sakes a.nd for the sake of the world. The enduring victories of humanity are won by faith. and not by force. Your high ideals and your vision of justice, peace and brotherhood are the patterns and the substance of tomorrow's better world."

School's Over-for Awhile
SENLO~
One afternoon as I was going do wn the Hall, I decided to attend a faculty baseball game and this is what I found: It was a Sell out and that's no Story. Wallace was on ffrst base and Muir was at bat. "Walk-er," yelled the crowd. Lindberg, the pitcher. threw a Short one and the crnwd Kemp roaring. Man-they could ye ll. 'l'hey were selling Beevers and Kuhns, but I couldn't Cook so I didn't Beynon. l\Iuir was fanned out And-Erson came up. '11 he way was Bardwell by the team which ·was mostly English. The batter made a ho1ne run and it was reaJ!y a Piper. I yelled Hy-a tt Ellis and took out one of my many Coorn bs and started fixing my hair and putting on Ayers till my neighbors turned Green with envy. I looked up when the crowd started to Grone and, us they are always the Jury, Wilson, t he umpire, changed the decision to a st rike. Lindberg wound up and the crowd screamed "Dodge-em" but Hedrick, who was now up to bat, Sprung onto a three-bagger. He ·was a Hansen specimen. The person in back of me tapped me on the shoulder and said " ls l\Iart-in 'I" I said, "yes" and replied, "I wonder what the Vv eatherby tomorrow.'' Then I resumed watching the ball game. "Hack-man! " was heard from the Bratchers. Phil-Lips was on the mound, now. He r eally had a Range (ler !) Hedrick Stowell home, but was put out which ended the ball game. "Murray!! l\forray! and we'll Beattie you next year,'' were heard from the crowd. I said I was going home to the Farm-an l!..,ish-er ound for some Kane. I found a Pound.
School is over! Some of the present students of L. H. S. will l'eturn next fall to carTY on. Some will enter university. Some will neve~ go to.school again. Some will enter the service. Rut at present, this is your final day in Lincoln high. Take .a good look around you. Funny, isn't it, how just before school l!ltarts in the fall, you can hardly wait. But that's a poor subject to talk about today. September 8 will come around soon enough. This semester's Advocate staff has more th:an appreciated everyone ;s cooperation and helpful assistance. We hope that you enjoyed reading the Ad¥ocate as much as we enjoyed ·writing it. · News was·plentiful this· year, and neither the first semester's staff nor this semester's have had much trouble looking for it. We have l!leveral sources to thank for it. we have the athletes and their coaches to thank for successful sports. sections. They at·e to be congratulated on their fine !leasons. '11hen credit is given where credit is due and credit is due all the eluhs1 classes and organizations ill school who put on all their fine productions. Thanks to everyone, and good luck. See you next fall!

Youth And His Opinion.-;
Ralph seems to Leikam Lucille Moore and mo1·e.
American youth of today has, contrary to public consensus, an opinion on world events. Although · many claim that today's youth are too carefree all.d happy-go-lucky, and that no interest in world events, they do think and form opinions on the war and other problems. A poll was taken recently in a Lincoln hig·h English class which showed that 11 pel'sons voted for, and 13 against the age requirements for voting being lowered from 21 to 18 years. Twenty-one persons thought the United Nations campaign in North Africa was successful. However, only 2 members of the class believed the campaign in China was managed well, while 13 pupils believed it was fair. One thought it was poor. Naturally, American youth is interested in what its country is doing. The boys and girls of today are as patriotic as any in history: Why don't radicals stop preaching that the adolescents of today are immoral and thoughtless? The world is changing and youth moves right along with it. Today's children will have to solve the problems after this war, and they are training for that job. Rest assured, America, youth won't fail you. They are thinki11 g and they are watching world events. 'l'hey'll be prepared! •••
Girls Can Do It, Too :Attention all girls! Uncle Sam is asking you to help him win the war. When model aircraft building was first started in the high scmools as an Army and Kavy project, the boys responded heartily, but only a few girls volunteered for this service, thinking it was too difficult for them. However, the girls that did respond did a fine job and should be commended on it. 'l'his service is vital to our country in two different ways. First, :for their contribution to our fighting men, and next as a source from which to draw workers and pilots already acquainted with many phases of aviation. Thus we see the need for girls to build model aircraft, and we also see how this work can. easily shift from model planes to real planes for victory!
Sports for the Dzu·ation More than once have service men expressed the wish that they had participated in a: physically fitness program before entering the 1ervic(l. Why? Because such training is a beginning to what they will learn in the Army or other branches of service. Sports are the best possible· way for high school boys and girls to condition themselves for future service. l!'ootball, baseball, basketball, swimming, tenni'S and many other sports, not only improve their bodies, hut also their minds, for it takes brains in every play of every game. 'l'he much debated question as to whether sports should continue during the war could be answered· by those who have received full benefit of such a program, It would take less bime .for such people to accustom themselves to a vigorous Army program. There is another side to the sports question. They are recreational as well as healthful. Many people take part in sports for the sole purpose of relaxing their rninrts. A healthy mind is essential to a healthy body.

Open Forum To the Editor: Northeast high school has a junior-sen ior prom, as do a great many other schools.
Why doesn't
Lincoln high? This has been discussed pro and con many times. The estimated cost w ould probably be around $1.50 a couple, and several seem to think this is t oo much. This
would
be
planned
far
in advance and therefore pr ovide time for almost everyone interes ted
to
raise
the
necessary
money. Lincoln high has had junior senior proms before, but this was some time ago and the enterprise was disbanded for lack of dancing space. It seems with the large ballroom of today, this would not prevent the prom. Why isn't a school like Lincoln high given the privilege of having these annual good times? Northeast's juniorsenior prom is a dinner-dance and the cost is $1.75 per person this year. It is being held at the University club. Lincoln high is too large to have a dinner, and just having the dance would reduce the cost. A committee made up of the representatives of all the classes should be formed to discuss this idea, and maybe next year would see Lincoln high sponsoring a jUniorsenior prom . MARY DYE. 'I'o the Editor: As a student in grade school and my first t w o years of high s chool, one of the many privileges which I looked hopefully forward to in my senior year was the wearing of a cap and a g·own at my gTaduation from high school. Coming to Lincoln at the begining of my j unior year, I found that graduating from Lincoln high did not include this great event. Why? I have heard several reasons which have broad fields and plenty of room for argument . First, to include the wearing of caps and gowns at high school graduation would detract to some extent from the universities' or colleges' tradition. Second, a cap and a gown is to be worn only by one who is receiving ..a. college degree. Third, h igh school classes in the cities which also have universities or colleges do not graduate in caps a nd gowns. And last, the cost of rent ing t he caps and gowns is too };igh for some students. It can't be said that the size of the school has an y bearing on this, because from personal experience, I attended a small school in Centerville, Iowa, which had a graduating class of about 150 students and I also attended Morton high school in Chicago, Illinois, which has a graduating class of approximately 2,000 students. Both of these classes · always wear caps and gowns. All public high schools both large and small, in Chicago and many other cities follow this plan. Because of this , I feel Lincoln h igh should do likewise. The rental fee for caps and gowns is small, usually ranging from $1.00 to $2.00. It has been the means for many s tudents in nominal circumstances being able to attend their graduating exercises without feeling asham ed of their dresses or suits due to t heir not being able to have new clothes for the occasion. It seems to me that t his praetice gives a more democratic feeling to the class as a whole, since all would be dressed alike and on the surface equal to each other as they start out, either to work or continue their education elsewhere. For those who work and are unable to continue their education, they have the satisfaction of the one important last step in their school life of having received their diplomas dressed in caps and gowns. A picture is then placed in their minds~to remember the great event; a jaunty tilt of the cap, the tassel bouncing around, and the legal aspect of the ent ire mak~-up from beginning t o end .

Mr. Johnson Takes Special Interest In All Youth Of America; Giving His Aid And Advice The word "youth'.' brought a s udden gleam into the eye of P. F. Johnson as he ~e aned far back in h is creaking swivel chair. Yes, the youth of Lincoln, t he youth of America, have always been a major interest for Mr. J ohnson, even in his work, for he is city circulation manager of the Lincoln Star and consequently watches over the dealings of more than 150 robust newspaper carriers. When asked his opinion of the attitude of youth t oward the war , he replied that he f elt the tension of the great w ar on the faces of many of "his" boys and as a. general rule t he young m en have a very serious outlook on this qu,e stlon, especially the 16 and 1 7 year olds who will soon be in service. Mr. Johnson stressed t~is point, a seriousness t owards the war, by pointing out that the "Star" newspaper carriers have t o date sold more than 600,000 ten cent war .stamps or t heir equivalent an d the carriers over the en-
t ire nation .have sold 65,000,000 dollars w orth. "My advice probably sounds like the general r un, but I will repeat, stay in school no matter what happens, un til you are cal.l ed by your count ry. You r nation needs you well edu cated and. a ltho the big money of some jobs looks nice, t he main job of youth today is to get an educat ion. I say stick to t l)e same course you had planned before t he war ever happened. War is an interlude. Things will change you r life for maybe a year or more, but in the end you will need the education for the job you had pla nned to do." When asked what fields of endeavor would open up as a result of t h,!l war he begged off, sayin g that he was not an expert in the mat ter but he would say that aviation must have its yproper place in the new world for t he young aviators being trained today, the t housand$ of them, will demand t heir own pJanes when

Arose and decided it w as a beautiful day. Having decided t his difficult in t ellectual problem, got ready to go to school where they attempt to t each me how to solve even deeper problems. When I arrived at school the clock ticked to 8: 41. A s I s loi:Jd in the hall beating my head against the wall a ver y sweet teacher came along and told me not to hit my h ead against the wall, 'cause it might crack it ( I haven't decided yet whether she meant my head or t he wall ) . A nd t.h en t o a first period test in which I made a remarkable grade. The teacher said she couldn't underst and how anyone could get lower than zero. Second period I tried to recover from first period. Loafed around after that (it says here )! Thursday, May 27. Arose and decided it was too early to arise so went back to bed and a r ose later. Got a nice ride to school with only 17 others in the car. Somebody said he thought he saw me ' cause wasn't I the one that was partially hanging out of the left back window. I said it couldn 't h ave been me because I was .l ocated, so far down in the car it took till second period to uncover me. This share your car idea is really swell.
they return home a nd will probably g et them. Then too, we may a lways look to the future through the eyes of science. I n a nswering the next question as . to whether youth should be brought to play a more active role in government Mr. Johnson a sked for a quote, "Youth will make its own place." He continued, "This is a firm convict ion of mine. Youth in its g overnmental thoughts is radical and will become more seriou s as it sees the world in regular focus." In his dealings w ith typical A mer ican boys, Mr. J ohnson set down these .r equirements: a s ense of humor is essential ; the boy must a lways see the bright side of t hing s ; he must be clean minded, mentally a ler t and, w ithout saying, a good student; h is family h as taught h im t o rely on h imself, and he is aole to work out his problems and t o face the future bravely. Bill Gillesp ie, sophomore, recently entered L incoln high from Sullivan high s chool, Chicago Illinois. Bill is originally from Lincoln and he attended Whittier ju nior h igh.
"There is never enough t ime to do all the things the soldiers would like us to do," stated Mrs. Charles Simon, Gray Lady at t he L incoln Army Air B ase. T he Gr ay Ladies is a national organization governed by the rules of the army under t he dir ection of t h " Red Cross. T he only expla na tion given fo r the name is the g ray uniform t h ey wear. A t went y weeks course under d octors and surgeons is required, b ut the "Gray Ladies" in Linncoln completed t,P.eir t r aining in ten weeks by having classes t wice a week. Although trained by doctors, the work has nothing to do with medicine. To be a Gray Lady one must be below fifty years old. The Ladies buy their own uniforms, but if they go against any regulations the unif or m s may be taken from them.

The time has come, the School Board says, For me to spread my w ings, And leave my h igh school d ays behind To seek for deeper things. And so, with tear s and sad good- byes, I wish you, every one, The happiest of times And everlasting fun! I thank you for your kindnesses, Which I shall e'er recall W ith gratitude my whole life through. Now, so long! That is all!
"After complet ing our training w e were fingerprinted and had our pictures taken. Then while they looked up our records, we· were issued a temporary pass," said Mrs. Simon. If n ot on duty in the recre~tion, library or music rooms , the ladies are assigned to the w ards of convalescents. E ach ward has t hirty beds and each lady is assigned to three wards.
Dr. Zemer Tells Of Experiences Had During His Early Days In New Mexico "I was in charge of a general hospital for the Santa Rita Min ing company," began Dr. S. G. Zemer, one of Lincoln 's wellknown eye, ear , nose and throat specialists, when questioned about his early doctoring days in New Mexico. Dr. Zemer, in giving a description of his surroundings, said that the mine was an open-face copper mine situated in a desert in southwest New Mexico. "There were a pproximately 7,000 men working in the mine," he continued, "and seven-eig·hths of them were Mexicans who could not speak a word of E n glish." Dr. Zemer went on to exxplain t hat in a space of six to eight weeks, he had picked up a vocabulary of some 800 !{exican words, wh ich combined with t he gestures of the people were enough to tell him where t heir pains were. "When I arrived at t h e camp, fresh from two years of interning at St . Luke's hospital in Chicago, I found that I was the only doctor around for a distance of 100 miles and that m y hospital was merely a tent." He went on to say that later t he company acquired a hospital that was erected in sections, and h e then had 20 beds and was assisted by six nurses in caring f or his patients . They had fine water facilities 11.s ther e were several artesian wells close to t he mine, but t hat they
were 20 m iles away from a r ailroad. "Besides t aking care of t he two groups of people at the m ining camp (t he Mexicans had a village of their own apart from the white people) I had patients . in the two towns of Silver City a nd Herley. One day I w as coming back through a canyon from Silver City, driving a new car which I had had just a short while and of which I was very proud, when I heard a roaring behin d me. L ook" in g back I saw a wall of water about 16 feet h igh almost· upon me. I barely ha d time to get out of the car an d r un up an e m bankment to safety . There h ad been a cloudburst up in the mountains and the water came full speed a head down the canyon. I was .six miles from camp a nd I had to walk t he rest of the way home. A week later m y car was found and had to be completely taken apart, and each piece washed and greased. It ran perfectly after t h at, but of course all the paint had come off a nd I never bothered to have it repainted". Dr. Zem er told of other experiences, one of which was getting lost in the mountains of New Mexico for three days and another of a Mexican taking a couple of shot s at him and just barely m issing. "I stayed there a bout t wo and a half years and t hen I went to New York t o take post g radua t e work," he concluded.

Seene at School by Leslie Metheny Hello everybody, or rather I should be saying good-bye, this is the last pal'Br, the last day, and strange as it may seem, it's kinda sad. Surprise of the week, was when Joan Farrar and Betty Henkenlively didn't wrap Herbie McCulla's car around a post last Friday night. Poor Jimmy Swanson and Herbie sat in the rumble seat ready to evacuate at a minute's notice. Dick Hill really created the sensation in choir last week by saying, "Let's get Lost" in his most romantic manner. Did you know that Arleen Heinz and Rex Millel' were going steady?,. Now the big question is, "What will Jean Ward and Max Miller do?" Who is the little man in khald called Gale that Ralpha Graybill has been seeing? So long kids, I've had lots of fun this year, and good luck to all of you. Les

Teachers Enjoy Square Dancing A group of teachers u nder the auspices of the Lincoln teachers association, square dance a t Lincoln high school on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month, from 7 :30 to 9 o'clock. There are usually about nine squares, or seventy-two people. The s·quare dancing group d ecided to enlarge the group, and the last five times they have invited soldiers to come. Arrangements for the soldiers are made previous to the dance through the USO. At one of the dances they had as many as forty-five soldiers. Some of the teachers bring the soldiers out to school in their cars, and take them back· when the dancing is over. Mrs. Flood plays the piano for the dancing, and .Walter Ernst called at the last five dances. Mrs. Ruthalee Jorgenson has instructed the group and has called the dances throughout the year. The microphone and the speaking system of the city recreation department are used. Some of the "Stars" from the agricultural college have been guests .at the dances and th e soldiers that come to the dances hail anywhere from California to New Yor k. Some of the soldiers come to the square dances on their first night in Lincoln. About four or five .soldiers have come to every dance. Miss Irene Martin is :social chairman.

Miss Beekmann Gets Letter From Wendell W illkie A thrill came to Miss Emma Beekmann, history teacher, when
in service w hose
ter in praise of Wendell Willkie 's book, "On e World," from Mr. Willkie himself. Mr. Willkie receiv es approximately 1,200 letters a week from all over the country. Quoting from Miss Beekmann, "I feel h e must have noticed my letter because Bill Lawrence had assured me that my belief in WillI
am a great admi rer of Mr. Will kie and I feel very proud that I was one of those he chose to answer. Of course, some of my friends assure me that it is merely to get votes, but I am sure that he appreciates a teacher's interest in his work and his writing." Miss Beekmann passed the lett e r around to all her classes and said, with her usua l humor, "And all my students got to f eel the signature.'' Mr. Lawrence, mentioned above, was a student of L incoln h igh and is now the White House correspondent for the New York Times. He traveled w ith Mr. W illkie on his cam paign tour in 1940. He also was w ith President Roosevelt on his recen t tour of service camps and war industries. Miss Beekmann's classes were led to believe, although it may not be true, that Mr. Willkie himself typ ed the letter because it was not t yped straight on t he paper and ther e were no secretarial initials on the page,

Set To Resume Gridiron Battles Nine Lettermen Naval V-5 Tests Will Be Back Passed By 19 Next Semeste~ With the ending of spring sports, thoughts turn t o next fall and visions of footballs flying through the air. If the army does not lower its draft standards, the Links squad has all the earmarks of another barn-burner. Some boys may not return next fall; namely Harold Becker, steller t ackle, and Bob Jacobsen, fleet halfback, who are both in line to shoulder guns for Unde Sam. Ralph B eechner, coach , is seeking speed among the footba ll aspirants. If Jacobsen returns to s ch ool in the fall, Lincoln will have four lettermen in the backfield t o carry the mail. Two n ice halfbacks are Jacobsen a nd Bill Betz. "Jake" specializes in fast zig -zag ba ll carrying while B etz p asses with deadly a ccu racy. Small, but rough , Dick Hudkins is slated to handle the fullback duties. Brawny Ralph L eikam in t he quarterback slot r ounds out a g roup of four dependable backfield men who are sure to give R ed and Black opponents plenty of trouble. In event that Harold B ecker is back, the Links will have five returning lettermen in the line. B eside Becker at t ackle, w ill be Ernie Lee, rugged guard, to make that spot in the line mighty hard to penetrate. At another guard post is Ed Schaumber g who is also award winner. Dick Lodge and J im Swanson .are due to hold down the end position, both boys being rugged and good pass grabbers. This makes nine veterans returning , two of w hom are doubtful, to carry on the gridiron wars f or Lincoln, not to m ention the boys coming up from reserve and north field squads. B oys coming up from the reserve squad a r e as follows: at c enter, Harold Freeze, Danny Herg-ert and Bill Wilcox; a t guards, Don Pegler, Don Berguist, Dick R obinson and Burton Polsky. Among tackles, a good prospect is Dick Ped erit, others are I r ving Dana, Don Meyers , Don Gallagher, Dick Koutsky a nd Charles Putney. Ends Rodney Cox and Junior Kirke ndall are t wo boys to k eep an e ye on. Also at end are K enny P eterson and Van Allen. In the backfield are J a ck Brady,- Dick Brigham, Henry Esquival, Eugene D eet er. Deeter was out most of last season due to a n arm injury. Others are George Ostermiller, Gene Kelly, Alex Fink, Don N els on, Bob Wible and Ben Munson.
Pupils Can Help War .This Summer This sunimer more than ever students should plan to do some· t hing to aid the war effort, accor ding to a bulletin sent out rec ently to public schools. There are more opportunities for pupils over 16 to work for p ay this year than for ·many yea rs. There are some such opportu nit ies for pupils 14 or 15 with permits.

Navy V-5. is the officer training branch of Naval Aviation. An applicant for V-5 is g iven two t ests, first, a n intelligence test, which tests his natural ability to think straight , to make decisions quickly, to express himself clearly and concisely.

Summer Ranching Attracts Juniors J im Harley , Bob Wenke a nd Bill Reinhar d left bright and early Sunday morning, May 30, for north-cen t ral Colorado, where they plan to work on ranches during the su m m er vacation period. The boys drove out in Bill's ca r , having received coupons for 40 gallons of gasoline from the r a tion board (just en oug h to get there). These ranch es lie adjoining each other and are sit u ated in the hear t of the Rockies about 50 miles nortl;iwest of Denver, The elevation is between 8,000 and 9,000 feet, a considerable chan ge from Lincoln's 1,200 feet. "I suppose it will take u s a few days to g et ' use to the scantness of a ir," stated Jim. The ranches extend a long a fertile valley mowed three or four times during the summer for its hay w hich grows abundan tly because of t h e large amount of rain during June. Cattle and hor ses are a lso raised. Some irrigation m u st be done later on in the summer when the r ains cease. The wa t er for irrigation is obtained from tribut aries of the Colorado river. "Most of our duties will be taking care of t he cattle, cleaning out irriga t ion ditches, mowing hay a nd m any other odd jobs which a r e found on r.a n ch es," s a id Bob. "We plan to s tay al m ost till school s tarts again in the fall," concluded Bill, "if ever y thing goes all r ight."
