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.

"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.

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.
