Radar Expert Advises Boys; Education Is of Extreme Importance in Our Armed Forces Lt. C. 0. Morrison of the U. S. navy, Lincoln high teacher on leave of absence, now at home on leave after foreign service, advises boys to stay in school and learn all they can, as an army must consist of intelligent and educated men. Lt. Morrison enlisted in the Naval Reserves in 1936 and was for four years a member of the Lincoln V-3 uni t. He studied Radar in Cincinnati, Maine and Washington. D. C., and became an ensign in May of 1941. He was given active duty shortly after. He did Radar work on t he Hornet which was sunk in October. The men of the ship were kept at New Caledonia. He was cited for bravery because, when a shell pierced the . safe which h eld the radio cod·~. he went into the safe and put the code books in weighted sacks and threw t hem overboard. Luck ily, the shell did not explode. He revealed a rather humorous episode wh ich happened while on Russell Island which is sixty miles fro m Guadalcanal. Japanese radios broadcast a zero hour which tried to antag·onize our boys by talking of the folks at home or of t he favorite American h amburgers. A bombing from the

same enemies happened to kill about t wenty cows. Their cool~ immediately proceeded . to u se them to good ad vantage. And they had a long "feed" of hamburgers with pickles. onions and catsup. Hearing about this. pilots would stop near the island with the excuse of "engine trouble. " The rule was finally made that the plane crews could not leave their shi;,i. The men there had plenty of food. but he advises civilians never to send a soldier Spam or anything similar. as they are g iven it for a constant diet. They have powdered eggs, dried pota toes, canned food, real butter from Australia and preser ved butter from America which will not m elt even when placed in t he sun. It had to be chewed and swallowed. There are n o quarters for women on Guadalcanal, s o .10 nurses are stationed there, but it is very well equipped with medical supplies. However, wounded men tha t can be moved are put aboard a plane and taken to some other p lace for treatmen t. E ach man r eceives a cart on of cigarettes ever y t en days and can buy more if h e likes f or sixty cents a cart on, which 1s much cheaper than over here. They can get most of the candy t hey desir~ . but do appreciate gum.

Between the Book Ends Adamson's Experiences Told "Seven Came Through" is the complete. true story of Eddie Rickenbacker and his experiences from March 12, 1942. to December 19, 194.2. The book was · written by Rickenbacker. Colonel Adamson, who spoke at the assem bly St'plt>mber 12. is mrnti"nPd nftf'Pand thi ngs he wu too modest to tell us are revealed in this book. It seems Colonel Adamson was one of the three sickest men while they were on the raft and Captain Rickenbacker sometimes thought he wasn't going to make it. After the men had been rescued and they were recovering in a hospital, it was discover ed that Colonel A.damson had diabetes. By t he excellent care at the hospit al the Colonel completely recovered and as you s aw. he is looking fin e now. This book i~ sure t o hold your attention from the minute you start until you fin is h it . The men h ad cuts and open sores which wouldn't h ea l because of the salt water continually getting in th em. Ce.pt. Rickenbacke r t old of on e night which was exceptionally dark. when suddenly he heard someone in the raft just ahead of him cry out. They quickly p ulled the first raft back to see what had happened. The result, one of the men had been sleeping close to the edg·e of the raft with his head out a little t oo far and a shark had fla pped his tail against his face a nd cut it badly. When you go to the library t o check out this book or any oth er book and it's not t her e, ask for a reserve blank a nd the librarian, Miss Emma Snyder will let you know when tl\e book you want is in. Army Slang Found In Book. Did you know t hat "Irish g r apes" is G. I. slang for potatoes, that "French-fried mothballs" is the definition for hominy. and medals are called Ches t hardware ? You 'll learn army slang and a good many other things about a rmy life when you rea d "See Here, P rivate Hargrove" by

Corporal Maria n Hargrove. After t elling prospective r ookies what m ore they should do in the army he wrot e. ···Do t hese thing"S and you won't have any t rouble with the Army. F or what ha ppens when you don't do them, let us now look into the case of Private Hargrove, U . S. A ." And from toere on che book t:s filled with t he fa:s·:ina l lllg hut slightl y fantastic happenings of Private Hargrove, Sher, Roff, and the r est. He tells of t he lllany pots and pans he scrubbed during his dayi; of K. P ., of the camp grounds and flowers kept bright and blooming by his t ender ca re, and of the floors. polished so t he mess sergeant could see his face reflected in them . If you want a bOok that is both humorous and to uching, don't fail to read "See Here, Private Hargrove." You 'll thoroughly enjoy it from cover to cover. Some of t he new books ordered last semester have a rrived and a re in t he library now.

This is an average of about 20 pounds per man heavier than the Red and Black. Sioux City Ce ntral is the only team to have a winning average as great as they have over Lincoln high. Last year when Lincoln went to Sioux City the game was called off on account of wet grounds and Central didn't want to ruin the sod in its new stadium.

At a special football meeting held at 7:45 p. m. Wednesday. S eptember 15, in room 326, all the players and their parents were present. Coach Ralph Beechner expressed the tra ining of the players and the desire to build a relationship b etween the parents of the boys. Coach Beechner stated, "A boy must first have the consent of his pare nts to play . N ext is training Which plays a big part in conditioning the boys." He also related that eligibility is essential. Beechner was glad tha t the parents had made their boys go to school to get the training for later years. Training rules were also discussed by Beechner who said, "At least eight hours of sleep and r egular hours (meaning eat at certain times, study at a certain time) are essential." "Win, lose, or dra w, this year's team has more spirit than former years," declared the coach. Discussing protection for the players, he told of the insurance policy each boy had to take out, of the doctor's fare at games at home or away. H. C. Mardis, principal, stated, "I hope that this is the beginning of many meetings." N ext Mr. Beechner introduced his assistant, Lyle E. Weyand, and the reserve coach, Charles Worrall. Coach Beechner told of when he used to go to N ebraska university football games and see two men that were present play side by side, Judge Wenke and C. E. Swanson, now a member of the &chool board. After presenting game captain Dick Lodge, be introduced David Sell, business manager of Lincoln high athletics, who gave free tickets to all parents present. Beechner then finished with, "I hope all of the parents can get together in one area a nd cheer the team on to victory."

Two Elevens Play Before Capacity Crowd

Lt. Col. W. H. Browne, former Lincoln high and Cornhusker mentor, is now stationed at Washingt on, D. C., in the Inspector General's office. Joe Partington, former Lincoln high center. is hPre on furlough from Evanston, Ill., where he is stationed with Marine Corps. Joe is a candidate for the pivot position on the Northwestern football team. Don Spomer and Don Pegler, jr., members of Lincoln high's 1943 · state champion golf team, won honors in several of the outstanding golf tourneys in the middlewest this summer. Pegler was the winner of the fifth flight in the annual Broadmoor invitational at Colorado Springs. He also qualIfied for and won his firs t match in the annual Lincoln city championships played at the Lincoln Country club. Spomer likewise qualified for the city tournament, winning the consolation flight in the championship bracket. He also comp e ted in the Midwest Open at the Lincoln Hillcrest and the Kearney Open at Kearney, winning places in both meets. Both golfers wi ll compete for the Lincoln: high golf team next spring. Robert P_atton, Morris Gaiter and Norman Lock are now playing with the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Bob was moved from the second t eam right tackle to the first string on Wednesday. Morrie and "Rocks" checked out Tuesday and are now working w it h the Husker third unit as center and tackle respectively. All three lads figured in the Lincoln state champion team of 194.2. Morris Gaiter, former di amond star and gridster for Lin coln, was sought by scouts of two major league ball clu bs, J oe M cDermott of the St. Louis Cardinals and Jimmie Payton of the Chicago "White Soxs. Morrie played with the Lincoln Blues durmg the past summer and was noticed during the state legion baseball tournament held at Norfolk. Do a11y of you students realize how much work was needed to g et the football field in shape for the first g a m e ? Firs t the men disced the fi eld so as to break up the soil. Next they had to drag it to ge t it dov..-n smooth ' again. T h en it had to be watered several times and packed w ith roller and watered some more. All this was done just so our boys could have a good place to knock the "K" out of K earney. ·~~

Eight lettermen grace Lincoln high's defending s tate championship outfit as the Links get ready for the game with Sioux City Ji'riday. Five of them (shown above) are the bulwark of the L. H. S. forward \~all. Left t-0 rig_ht, they :ire: Jim Swanson, right end; Harold Becker, right tapkle ; Bill Schaumberg, right guard; Erme Lee, right tackle, and Dick Lodge, right ends. The other award winners are Fullback Bill Betz, Quarterback Ralph Leikam and Halfback Dick Hudkins. Morris Galter, "Gus" F.ager and Robe Hays, former Lincoln high baseball players, and Ernie Lee, sen10r and letterman in baseball, made the all-state Legion team. The all-state legion team played the all-Omaha t eam at Oa.mha. The all-state won t w o and tied one. Ernie played in the third game play ing s h or tstop and t hird base. Murril' played in th e s ecJnd game at centerfieid. Other boys playing legion ball were Bill Betz, Bob Hubbel, Bill Emody, K enny P et erson, Jerry Duncan, a nd Jack Brady, which means good baseball prospects this spring. Forty-eight boys reported t o Coaeh Pumphrey for north fi eld football pra ctice Tuesday, September 14. Although the boys are light, they will be f aster and sh iftier than last year. It is the largest turn-out in two y ears. After thl! boys take their physical exammation, the firs t f ew <iays are used for limbering up and getting m cond ition. Although Lincoln's football t eam will be lighter this year, it will be

!aster and :shiftier. The f1n;t team's line will average around 165 pounds per man, which is about 10 to 15 pounds per man lighter tha n last year's firs t team . In the backfield there is a d rop of about 15 pounds per m an which bring·s an average weight of 155 pounds. As a whole, the t eam will be faster. Ben Munso~ a m ember of last year 's reserve football squad. is expected t o check out equipment some time this w eek . He brolrn seve ral bones in his foot while working at an ice plant during the summer. Ben, a senior, plays fullback. w eig hing in at 165. Jack Brown, former student of East High in Denver, entered Lincoln high this fall. He was a m ember of the Eas t High r eserve team last fall and this year he is playing on the Lincoln high varsity team. Jack is a junior. Maybe the reason for the Links surprise second half was the t alk of Pvt. Bill Pfeiff who is n ow in the Air Corps. He is a former Lincoln high and Nebraska football player and t rack man. It looks as if "Bulldog" B etz will lead the scoring this year; h e is now out in front. But beware, Bill, Ernie Lee may get in t h e running.

Two Seanien Tell Of Day in Navy Bob and Jack Dolen, both seam a n second class. U. S. navy, were in Lincoln on an e leven day leave in the latter part of Augu st. Bob told of a t ypical day a t the San Diego Naval Training Sta tion which is as follows: 5 :30--R eveille. 6:00-- Chow.

" In the ::'.faY~' you don't have mu ch liu,e to \\T1te letters. but it's 1caiiy nice t o receive them." Jack h a s gained 7 pounds and Bob has put on 13 p ounds s o tile Navy seems to b e agreeing with both boys. On life in tht> ~c 1Tice Bob reported: "The N:lvy Jwlf.ls you a Jol physically and m e ntally. I llke 1t a lot."

Hooking Street-cars May Cause Pernianent In jury A common sight in early fall is the hooking of street-car rides by young boys. This sight may amuse some, but it is for from humorous .. One smal! slip and the body may be thrown beneath the car and lashed severely by the sharp whee1 ri.ms. This is a serious ti¥ng am1 it must be stopped! Let us take an example : a hoy on his way home from school wishes to shorten his trip 10 he jumps on the baek of a moving trolley. While passing through a busy section the car Btops suddenly and only the auto directly behind it stops in time; the others bump each other like dominos, eventually hittjng the first which pins the boy against the trolley injuring his back permanently, perhaps. Nine out of ten times, th e boy may come off the back of the trolley without a scratch, but this certainly is taking a chance. Don't endanger your health, and perhaps your life by playing this foolish game and by so doing encourage younger boys to follow this example. The 'l'ractiou company need& yvm· cooperation.•

Do Your Studying Now Profit Later On In Life To study or not to study! Yes, that is the question, now that school is in full swing. It's the question that comes up during the :;tudy half of the period, or whenever you try to de· cide after school what books you don't have to take home. And the question arises ·when you try to concentrate on a given lesson. Evervone ·wants to learn and be among those who know something. Everyone 'rishes to become proficient. There is, ho-wen~r, a serious catch to all of t his. If you want tu learn, you have to study and work just a little harder than usually appeals to oue. This seems to be the main obsta.cle in attaining the success that all desire. If you enjoyed your subjeets half as 111ttel1 as you enjoy sports or as mud1 as a chilrl likes to play, you wouldn't have a hard time at all in conrentrating on your studies. )fake up your mind to find enjoyment in your school. work. Put something into your subjects and you will find your subjeets more intel'est ing and you will gain much knowledge. It does take some will power to eonvince yom·self thnt you can find r eal fun in tackling your difficult subjects, but it can be done. You can Literally wear yourself out playing on a football team and yet enthusiastically enjoy every minute of the game. Put similar enthusiaslll in your studies. ·Remember yon are the one that profits from the way you apply yourself to yow.· 5chool tasks. Kow more than ner before our country needs educated citizens. Do your part now! !! There is always something to profit by in each subject: It takes Yery little applying to settle down and really study. This r equires only a little eoncentratiou.

Between the Book Ends By Leo Geier. For those of you who haven't a3 yet had the opportunity of reading'. ''They Were Expendable," there is a bookful of adventure, dram a and action in store. "They Were Expendable" was written · by W . L. White, and was chosen as a book of the month last yea r. It is the swry or the courageous officers and men of Motor Tor pedo Boa t Squadron 3, who fought Japanese planes when they f ir st roared over Manila Bay, and w ho were picked to take General MacArthur on the perilous trip off Bataan to Australia. Those remaining from M. T . _B. Squadron 3 to t ell their tragic panorama of t he Philippine campaign were, their Squadron Com mander, Lieuten ant J ohn Bulkeley, Lieutenant Robert Balling Kelly, and Ensigns Anthony Akers and George E . Cox, jr . This story tells or the gr im battle for the Philippines which was finally lost to t he Japanese . Among the thrilling episodes of the book, which are far too numerous to mention are, nigh t r aids on Japanese ships in enemy ports-- capturing J apanese landing barges--patient h ours in the hospital a t Cor r egidor, where other young m en tell of their sad experiences-falling in love with a beautiful n urse in Corregidor, to f ind out she w a s killed in a plane c rash try ing to escape t o freedom~and la·s tly the dramatic evacuation of an island before the Japanes e arrive.

"Song of Bernadette" by Franz Werfel is the haunting tale of a poor little French girl who believes she sees a vision of a beautiful lady. The vision a lways appears to Bernadette at the mouth of a mountain cave. " The Lady ," as she is called asks Bernadette to come to her every day for t w o weeks. During one of these visit s "The La dy" t ells the little French girl to drink from a spring nearby. But there wa s no spring. Since her lady ordered her to drink, Bernadette obeyed. She du g in the eart h until she came to some m ud which she a t e. The next da y some peasants discovered a little spring in the exact spot where Berna dette had scratched in the m u d. The spring soon became known far and wide tor its healing qu alities. Dying people recovered complet ely when they were submerged in t he water. As t h e years passed, m ore and more people were convinced that Bernadette was a saint , and the church began to f ear her power . When she w as 15 she was sent to a convent where she spent t he rest of h er life. On Dei;. 8, 1933, in Rome, Bernadette was procla imed a saint, and h er name v.-a s pla ced on t he calendar of s a ints.

Miss Esther Montgom.e ry Finds Work At Lincoln Air Base Very Interesting "Twenty hamburgers t0 go!!! Twenty milkshakes to go"' are familiar exclamations to Miss Esther Montgomery, English teacher in Lincoln high. Miss Montgomery was ernployen

as counter waitress at Propeller Inn at the Lincoln Air Base during the summer months. Propeller Inn is a clean, small restaurant with 14 seats and usually about 30 soldiers standing, shouting at the top of their lungs for food. "It's nothing to get orders for 20 hamburgers and 10 milk shakes,'' atated Miss Montgomery. One man would come in to get food for his whole barnicks. The boys a t the base eat enormous amounts of food. Miss l\Iontg ornery was impressed by tl1e poli~eness of the Mexican boys at the base. \.Yhenever they

order anything they always add, "If yon plizz_., !vfost of them speak very little English if any, and most talking done by them was by sign language. "One day,'' says J\'[iss Montgomery, "two Mexican boys came in and asked for six hamburge rs , four milk shakes and two pieces of cake

to go.:' Upon re ceiving them they immediately ate them. Evidently they had heard the American boys say "to go" and thought it was polite. The Mexican boys rccei\•e thingR from home, and it seems a chile b ean is very popular with them_ They get them from h ome in small glass jan3, and seem to like them very much_ Miss Montgomery added that they like American food much better with seasoning on it . \ "I learned a lot about the army," said Miss Montgomery. "It's hard work, and the glamor is only on the screen.'' She added that a very dramatic scene a.t camp is reveille. "One minute, trucks and people are rushing around al! over the base, and the next everything is silent," said Miss Montgome ry, "while tile bugle sounds, and t he flag is lower~d-''

Lincoln Knocks off Central 20- 7; to ScottsbluffFriday Red and Black Lead Student Body In Cheers This Season Roll Over Central Behind Flnk, Betz

Links Journey To Scottshluf f For Third Game Fifth Meeting

Play Before 5,000 Fans at L.H.S. Oval

Of Two Teams Linco ln high gridde rs will travel across

It was Bill Betz and Alex Fink again at Lincoln hi1't rolled over a rough and tough Sioux City Central eleven 20- 7 before approximately 5,000 spectators at the L. H. S. oval Friday. Sioux City's beef was outdone by the Links T formation. Time after time the Links rolled around the Little Maroon's ends for 5, 10 and 15 yards. Lincoln 's first counter came after seven and a half minutes had gone by. Alex Fink cut around Central's left end for 25 yards and a touchdown .. Number two came on a drive from mid-field, Jim Swanson taking the ball on the 8 yard line and running across unmolested. "Bouncing Bill" Betz ran the extra point over. After the kickoff, Lincoln went :trom the 33 yard line to the Maroon's 9 yard line where it took over on downs. After a punt exchanged, Hoeffer, broke through and recovered Likeaim's fumble on the Links' 47 yard line. Substitute Davis started the ball rolling with a 20 yard end run. Then, with Davis and Julis changing off driving Lincoln's tackles, the Maroons pushed to the 1 yard line where Lincoln's line made an attempt to hold Central but failed and Fullback Julius went over in to the promised land. Hanson converted. The Red and Black came back atrong to push over the last touchdown, startin,g at Central's 46 yard line, Fink slicing over from the 11 yard line. Fink also ran over the extra point. It was one of the roughest and best games played in the L. H. S. oval with Sioux City losing two players and Lincoln one for unnecessary roughness. ~ioux City's big boy, YVayne Erickson, was stopped cold. Outstanding for Central was Julius who, time after time, rammed through the Lincoln line. Center Cloppe was outstanding in Maroon's line. Betz and Fink were standouts in the Links backfield. Becker, Swanson, Freese and Lee dazzled in the line. The victory was the second and the Links will be after a third when they travel to Scottsbluff next Friday to play the Bearcats.

Sailor Advises All Boy Scouts; Study Blinkers Kenneth Koop, w ho q u it school in 1942, wrote Mrs. Frances Rein, typing teacher, recently that he is trying to complete h is high school work in service s chool in the navy. He is now s t ationed in the Signal school at Camp Peterson, Farragut, Idaho. " My honest opinion of one of the best things they could teach in high s chool," Kenneth wrote, "is the Mo rse code <>n blinker light. And Mrs. Rein," he went on, "as a big favor to me ,. if you know any Boy Scouts, tell them to learn their semaphore and blinker, backward and fo r ward, because it is one of the main means of communication, without the us e of the telephone in an emergency." K e nneth stressed that typewriting is one of the importaat subjects one can learn in ·s chool. Mrs. Rein also got some thing inspirational from Kenneth's le tter that she at once applied to h er typing class procedure. In h er class, after a few minutes "warm up," she is teaching, daily, ten spelling words taken from a paragraph which she later in the period plans to use for machine dictation. The pupils type each spelling word once only. She then, on a sliding blackboard, shows the same ten words which she has previously written. The pupils che ck their words. Those that have no mispelled words raise their hands and she " blinks" a nod of satisfaction and approval.

They must rebuild, not just the walls and buildings, but the lose in men's hearts. They must bring God into their lives. "Doctor and Mrs. Seng live in Lincoln, Nebraska. They.are fine folks like you and Dad. They treated me kindly as any one has ever, their son, Herold, was my closest friend. He did not hate the Germans, or the Italians, or any man, he only loved Nebraska, and beautiful buildings. The Commanding Officer complimented me for trying to save his life while the enemy shells were bursting about us, but it was useless, he only smiled and winked his eye and died. "My life has been a bookish one, often I have fumbled when I 've handled realities. It seems that God has given us so much that is beautiful we do not grasp it, we are confused and ·afraid, we be· come a11 brutal and merciless as a scolded chilc.

Italy's unconditional surrender made too many people too optimistic about the situation, not only in Italy, but on the entire continent of Hitler's Fortress Europe. The surrender of the Italian government under Marshal Petrio Badoglio still does not rid the Italian peninsula of the thousands of German troops there, which is the job American doughboys, British Tommies, and Canadians have been assigned to do. Allied forces still have a long, hard, bitter path to clear, up the boot of Italy and into Germany itself.

Both commanders are cunning "''~"' clever and lead well-trained and well-equipped forces. Both are determined to fight for every inch of ground as is evident by fierce resistance and counter-attacks by the Nazis around Salerno. Much fighting still has to be done and many men will be lost before our victorious troops and the troops of all the United Nations marc!l down Unter Den Linden in Berlin. We have only recently won the offensive from the Nazis and are only beginning to carry the fight to the enemy.

Mr. Lewis, professor of education at Ohio State university, Columbus, o., tries to impress on the reader the need to prepare oneself. He urges boys to take courses in school that will help them in the army. He suggested physics, mathematics, pre-induction courses in radio, shop, auto mechanics and pre-flight aeronautics. Above all, Mr. Lewis said to ask questions and read and to find someone who can tell you the facts, and don't depend on rumors. He

suggested the principal, librarian or adviser. H. C. Mardis believes that all boys planning to go into the armed services should take V-12 NaYy and A.S.T.P. Army tests. He said these will be a great help to him whatever branch of service he goea into. Taking the test does not make it necessary to enter any certain branch of the service. The boy can still make his choice in the matter. At present, there are 12 January seniors, now 18 years old, who have been deferred till graduation. There are 10 January seniors that will be 18 this semester . who will automatically be deferred till they gradua.te. To be deferred a boy must be doing satisfactory work in school.

Miss Fem Hubbard, supervisor of distributive education here in Lincoln said, "Business leaden in Lincoln are agreed that student help is very valuable to them but I have yet to meet one who wants to recommend that a boy or girl leave school and take full time employment. Throughout the .city, men and women who hire students have said. 'What hours out of school can the student devote to the job? I want the person I em• ploy to know as much as he can'.''

Sad Experi·e nce of Pupil Who Forgot To Study Can Be Very Erribarrassing I've often wondered if any of the other less intelligent pupils such as I ever have my troubles. There are times, just occasionally of course, when I haven't studied my lessons and in class the next day I'm in a cold sweat all period. This is the usual procedure. The teacher, just a little tired and irritated, asks a question. Hands of all of the more studious type pupil go up. Me, I sit there debating whether to put my hand up and act as if I know it, or sit and look dumb. Who knows, if I put my hand up she'll probably call on me and what a fix I 'd be in. As she glances over the room her eyes settle on the next row. I heave a sigh of relief. " Oh Gosh," the teacher called my name. As I stammer around feeling for something to say, a voice in another row answers. Now I remember there is a girl with the same name as mine in that row. I wipe my brow and settle down

for the next question. . Several more questions are asked and I'm nearly exhausted. Finally one comes up and by some strange coincidence I know the answer. I madly wave my hand, repeating to myself, ·'I know, I know." It seems the whole class knows also. She gives me one look and calls on the one in front of me. So the period goes. At last the bell rings. I wearily gather my books and stagger out of the room head· ing for the first water fountain. I refill my wearied body with the life giving liquid and head for my next class. I often wonder, can I stand another hour like the last ? But I do. After four periods of such torture I'm nea r a total wreck. As I gather eight or nine books from my locker to struggle home with, I swear I'll never live another day like that, which means every night I'll do my studying.

Two L.H.S. Boys Win Honors In Plane Contest

Ballard Advises Writers to Use Original Style

Donn Spalding, a junior, received four dollars for winning second in the B class gas while Robert Graves, senior, won four dollars and a AMA medal for placing second in tile rubber powered in the Lincoln Model Aircraft Engineers model airplane contest held Sunday, September 26, at the Arrow Airport. In the meet were boys from St. J oseph. Missouri; Kansas City, Missouri; Topeka, Kansas;, Omaha and Grand Island, Nebraska.

Attentiue Pupil Beliet'eS Bell ls Slightly Ailing . At the sound of the bell you grab your books, dash into the hall, and head for third period. My, that bell is long, its &till r inging. Oh well, maybe it's stuck or something. Boy, did that period go fast. You go to your locker; say, it's kinda quiet; well, well, no one else is going to his locker, isn't that a coincidence, or is it? Oh now I know, it was the fire bell, or was it the air raid bell, or w as it both? Now you're acting silly. It couldn't be both! Could it? Where to go. Aha! A solution. I'll go back t o the room I came from and go with the rest of t he group. But it's too late, they're gone. Now I remember, that long ring means fire! So you dash outdoors. Wrong number! Guess it wasn't fire a fter a ll. Oh well, you still h ave time to go to your home r oom air r aid post; it's just around the- it's just- it's - -. Where is it anyway? (Editor's note : Isn't this fellow dumb? ) (Author's note: "I'm not. I'm just forgetful, and that's enough from you" ). Oh, just s tart walking, you'll find it. Oh, yeah. Now you r emember ; it's just around this corner. You break into a run and simultaneously the bell rings again, and as you 'round the corner you are hit by no Jess than 50 persons going back to class. So you do too; resolving that the next time you'll know what to do. Oh, yeah? YEAH!

'Wonders Can Be Done iii Middle East;' Martz Pfc. Rohert R. Ma rtz, '34, is a cryptographer, and is now stationed in the Middle East, accord ing to a letter received by Miss Sarah T . Muir. "One cannot behold the mi ser able poverty and bacl<w:i•·Jness of :;uch a country as this," said Ma rtz, "without thinking what wonders m ight be attained through the development of a system of free education her e as wel! as through the economic development of t he country. These things seem possible after t he war, if given the proper outside encouragem ent: In that connection, my present plans are to complete my Ph.D. work in the field of post-war international economic r econstruction." Before entering the service, P.fc . Martz was emp loyed by the General Electric company, Schcnecta uy, New York.

Awaiting the arrival of the Nebraska born and eduacted play and scenerio writer, Frederick Ballard, writers club members gathered in closed meeting Monday. Mr. Ballard drew up a chair, asked the club to gather round and there began an informal discussion on what young writers should know. The playwright told the mcmbc1·~ that if they have a ~oor1 story they should write it in their own way, not like someone who has already made good. The distinguished writer was reluctant to t ell his listeners about his early experiences in writing. But after. much persuading he consented. It seems Mr. Ballard and a friend of his had two skunk skins they wished to sell. They sent them to a Chicago firm which allowed them a nickel on them. The postage charge was 30 cents so they still owed the postoffice 25 cents. They wrote an article about their adventure and sent it to an Omaha paper. The paper gave them each ten complimentary copies which the boys sold to relatives for t en cents apiece, thus making money from the skunk skins. Asserting that high school writers could assuredly get their work printed, Mr. Ballard stated that magazines, radio, and the movies are always on the lookout for things "fresh, new and original." "Your youth and inexperience will be no handicap. Editors constantly search for genius in unknowns, in hope of discovering another O. · Henry. "To gain experience, try your hand at several types of writing -poetry, short s tories, fantasy, etc. When your story is finished, end it at once; carry no excess baggage. F inding plots? Robert Louis Stevenson would dream stories. More practical, the news associations offer a wealth of plots for a writer with ingenuity and imagination," he explained. Asked where to gain the best actual wri ti ng experience, Mr. Ballard replied, "Where you can get a job." Mr. Ballard spoke intimately of William Saroyan, "" <!"~"'. o.; 0 , and well Fl=~'-' · ; and Betty Smith, who:ie autobiography, "A Tree ~ .ows in Brooklyn," is a current best-seller. "Jack" Barrym ore, Spencer Tracy, Edna Mae Oliver and Victor Moore have played in Ballard's plays. Mr. Ballard was born in Graf· ton, Nebraska, in 1884, later moving to Havelock where h is parents donated Ballard field to the Ha velock high school. He was g raduated from the · University of Nebraska and Harvard, where he studied playwriting under Professor Baker . "Believe me, Xa ntippe," w ritten by Mr. Ballard, was one of - t he earliest Harvar d Prize plays. ''La dies of the Jury," ''Young America.'' "What I s Wrong ?." "The .Ra.i ny Day" and "O ut-aLu ck" are among h is later plays.

Question of the Week What's your Idea of an ideal date? Pauline Martz: "Tall, dark and handsome, but these days I'm not particular." Roger Stewart: "There isn't such a thing." Pearl Armstrong: "A guy that will give you something to eat." Hite Grainger: "Well, I can think of a lot, but I won't commit myself." Betty Bach: "A guy with a sense of humor." Jack Bailey: "I should talk. I have one of my own, Jean Price." Jean Gallagher: "Slender, tender and tall." Tom Lawrie: "Lots of laughs, good dancer, easy on the wallet." Janet Johnson: "The silent type-so I can talk more." Dugan Anderson: "Not a mama's girl, a build like a truck." Faye Yankey: "A date who won't quarrel. I've never had one yet that didn't, and don't think I ever will.'' Bob McGhee: "A girl who will call you by your right name.'' Robert Schuckman and Don Beeman of the June class of 1943, have recently completed their boot training at Farragut, I d a h o.

Sweaters Come In All Sizes, Mostly Too Big Sweaters. sweaters, and more sweaters. Sweaters in every color, shape and description. I turn around and someone is tripping over her sweater sleeve and I turn around the other way and some· body i.s squeezed into a big, baggy, bright red sweater. E ven through custodial staff shortage is bothering schools, the floors of Lincoln high are kept immaculate, due to the drooping oversized sweaters the girls are wearing. Since all elevator tickets have been sold to the sophomores and the escalator is becoming more unpopular due to the war, some of the more unfortunate charac· ters of the seniors and junior classes are forced to slide down the banister. The sweaters again become useful in more ways than one, they not only add that cei:· tain something to the banisters by giving them a glossy finish, but also provide a quick, smooth, easy transportation; and also if they are padded correctly will make it possible for a soft landing. Of course, this can be done only when the sweater becomingly fits the wearer below the knees. Yes, we blushful and bash less morons of Lincoln high, lead a hectic life with our classy sweat• ers, but oh, how we love them.

In The Classes Costumes for the girls octet for the coming year will be navy-blue jerkins and skirts with white silk blouses. As a result of the election, Friday, S.::pternl.Jer 24, Gl:ni.idine l\:.:~;_,. is the president of the a dvan ced orchestra. Other officers are: LeRoy Stoez, vice-president; Herb McCulla, secretary; and Patricia Neely, treasurer. Don Smith and Dean Versaw are the only boys in Mrs. Irma Coombs' fourth period modern history I class of twenty-three pupils. Announcement of the new library assistants for this semester was made September 29, by Miss Emma Snyder, librarian. The list includes: Viola Bodfield, Sally Catron, Nancy Garey, Kathryn Hutton, Lois Kortum, Mary Mitchell, .Arlene Shreve, Russell Tudor, Dorothea Vick and Jeanne Zehrung. Miss Helen Stowell's fourth period chorus class, which meets Tuesdays and Thursdays, held election of officers a few days ago. Those elected are : Bob Clapp, president; Patsy Dean, vice-president; Patricia Phillips, secretary ; Mardelle Huhn, assistant ; Dorothy Borgcns, accompanist ; Fayette Winslow, librarian ; Bob DeKlotz, librarian; and Roger Hasfield, projector operator.

Standardizing tests, developed by Dr. Ralph Tyler of the Univer• sity of Chicago, will be given in advanced mathematics and Spanish classes. These tests help the Al my to g e t tile standard score.s so they may know what a person should do on a later test. Cpl. William C. Goggins, '39, stationed with the Air Force at Fairmont, Nebraska, visited Lin• coin high recently. Corporal Gog• gins, a former cartoonist for the Advocate and quite an artist in his own right before he went into the Army, visited Miss Helen Wilson's home economics 12 class and told of the murals he painted at the Officer's club in Chanute Field, Illinois, while he was stationed there. He said the murals were small and that he used the air force as subject matter. Often when !lying long distances, 2nd Lt. Robert Witt&truck, '38, of the Army Air Corps gets great enjoym ent out o! singing some of the old choir songs, he said to the Lincoln high school choir, during a recent visit to the school. After listening to several numbers by the choir, he remarked, "The choir this semester is almost as good as the one I was in. " Lieutenant Wittstruc k is stationed at Salina, Kansas, and is able to get to Lincoln frequently.

Junior Links To Battle First Team Friday Night Under Lights Of Oval Rivalry Dates To Beginning L.H.S. Football When L. H. S.'s first team meets the reserves under the lights of the oval Friday, a rivalry will be carried on that extends to the oeginning of football here, although records da ting back only to 1935 are available. In '3 ~, it was Hermie Rohrig a nd his crew who won over the junior Links 13-0. Junior Hudkins was the hero of '36, making all of the varsity's points by going o ver from the one-yard line an d k icking the extra point. Later he followed with a 20 yard run for the second touchdown. In '37 the r eserves made their first t ouchdown against t he vars it y when they recovered a fumble in the end zon e. Metheny, Sauer and Debus of the first team went over for the touchdowns. The '38 game brought the h ighest score when Howard D ebus made three t ouchdowns and Hansen made two. The · f irst team rolled up 40.6 yards to the reserv.cs 60. Twenty-six first downs were made to the J unior Links 3 whic!t they got by penalties. The score was 54-0. There was no game in '39, but in 1940 the varsity rolled behind Bobbie Glenn, Ray Boehmer and " Crook" \Vest to win 26-6. Tom M orey intercepte d a pass and r a n 55 yards for the r eserves only score. The probable lineups: POS. LINCOLN RE SERVES L . E. Cox or Lodge .•• ,,,, •• , • . B . Le e L. T. :r;.

Hikers! Hikers! You're neglecting the hiking-leader's announce· ments! Th~ first hike was held last Saturday, and everyone participating enjoyed herself, but there should be a larger attendance to make the next hike an even greater event than the last. Drawings for after school tennis teams have been made and all first round matches must .be played by Monday, October 11. G.A.A. dues should be paid by or on October 15, or membership will la pse. Membe~s may still pay them to Doris Fieth, after school on Monday and Wednesday in the girls gymn<!.sium. Beverely Secord, Donna Todd, Willa Steelman, Virginia Seacrest and Joyce Peters, graduates of '43 who w er e active in sports at Lincoln high, have entered the department of physical education at the University of Nebraska. Donna Todd was the G.A.A . cup girl in h er senior year. Virginia Seacrest spent her summer vacation at Green Mounta in Falls, Colorado, as counselor at the Colorado Springs Girl Scout camp. Willa Steelman vacationed as. a guest of Ruth Hornbuckle Garrison, former physical education director a t I rving junior high school. These girls are s t udying to be dir ectors in physical education. If you hear a continuous repe· tition of "Sweethearts Forever" and a noise of shuffling feet, beating in time, of course, it is Betty Whitmore teaching the after school tap-dancing class a certain little dance routine.

In the afternoon the Links took a loo k at the field and stadium. At 6:45 that evening a bus picked up the tea m and drove them to the stadium. After the game the tea m ate and were r eleased until one o'clock. The next morning the Scottsbluff Chamber of Commerce took the team on a tour of the intet'esting things around the city, first going to the prison camp, next to the Air Base where the players were shown some B-26 planes . Next they went to the Bluffs where a Ranger showed and explained the different highlights. That afternoon the boys wer e free until 4 :20. At 5 :30 they boarded the train and arrived in L incoln at 9 :00 Sunday morning. Going up and coming back the Links traveled in a Pullman.

Bill Betz Hurt; Bearcats Lead 6-0 At Half Outscored and outplayed In the hectic first . half, Lincoln high went on a scoring spree which netted more than a point-a-minute clip in the closing two chapters to whip the Scottsbluffs Bearcats 26-6 on the sod covered football field of N ebraska's western city, Friday evening. About 4,000 spectators filed through the g·ate to surround the field. This is one of the largest crowds in the history of western prep football. The game was a match between two topnotch offensive teams, the Bearcats' fast razzle-dazzle play and the Links' T a nd power. But Ernie Lee and Harnld B ecker finally stopped the Bearcat backs cold in the second h a lf. The scoring started after Beech· ner's crew went 38 yards from the kickoff, but penalties and bad passes stopped the Links on the Bearcats' :w. After the Bearcats punted, the L. H . S. boys marched 50 yards, only to lose the ball when Collopy recovered the fum· bled ball on the 12. The Bcarcats then caught fire and marched from their 15 in five plays to the Links' 18. Jac k Selzer cut back over tackle for the touchdown. The extra point was n ot good. After the h alf, the Links struck with the fury of a wildcat; Ralph Leikam ran the kickoff back to the Links' 41. Five plays later D on Nelson legged it 19 yards to a t ie. Then the Red and B lack used the T a nd went around ends, through center to the B earcats• 25. Ralph Leikh am took a lateral and went to the 1 where "Ca rrot" Hudkins hit tackle for the touchdown. Leikam made the extra. point. Leikam and Alex Fink then raced over for two touchdowns and another Red and Black victory. Selzer, Hood, and Collopy, the Bearca ts ' big three . had the Links worried the first three qua rters, but w ere finally stopped by the Links' line. Lince>ln standouts were Ernie Lee and H a rold Becker. Rodney Cox, playing his first full game, played brilliantly the last half, catching three fOrward passes. In the backfield, it was R a lph Leikam who took the ball five times and made around a hundred yards. Hard running Dick Hudkins played one of the best games of his career, m a king yards and n early getting away for a 65 yard touchdown run. Bill Betz received a dislocated shoulder in t he second p eriod and was taken out. Alex Fink. Links star, seemed n ot to have ag reed with the train ride and turned up w it h a· lame leg.

LHS Student Opinion Will Be Polled

INSTITUTE OF STUDENT OPINION Sponsored by Scholastic Magazines BALLOT No. 2, OCTOBER, 1943

•

(NOTE: loys

School Plans To Participate By marking the ballot in today's Advocate, pupils in Lincoln high school will participate in the October poll of the Institute of Student Opinion, a national organization sponsored by Scholastic Magazines. It has a charter membership of more than twelve hundred senior and junior high school publications, whose staffs conduct student opinion polls on timely and significant questions. October poll questions are based on proposed youth training programs for the post-war era. Students are asked whether or not they favor a year's compulsory military service by 17 to 21 year old boys, as proposed. in a bill to be presented to Congress by Chairman May (D.-Ky.) .of the House military affairs committee. Another question will measure student opinion on a proposed military and citizenship training program for high school boys and .girls. This program would require a year's service, spread over four summer vacation periods, and would include, in addition to military and physical training, work activity in such fields as industry, agriculture, aviation, con11ervation, public health and community services. Results of the first Institute of Student Opinion poll, conducted in May, revealed that the majority of American high school students are opposed to lowering the legal voting age to 18. Fifty-three per cent of the students polled voted against the constitutional amendment proposed by SenatorVandenburg (R.-Mich.), forty-three per cent favored the amendment, and four per cent expressed no opinion. This majority opinion in the negative came as a surprise to leading educators who had been asked, in advance, to estimate the results ot the poll. Pupils are asked to fill out ballots an<1 turn them ove r t o the alternate who will deliver them to the student opinion poll committee of the Advocate in room 219. Local results will be forwarded to the Institute's national headquarters in New York City for the national tabulation, results of which will be released early in November.

School Now Has Recording Unit Explaining the new recording unit which is being installed in the school, H. C. Mardis, principal, said that the unit can be used for many different things. First, it Will be especially helpful to pupils taking English 7, and it is now available to voice classes and •mall vocal groups such as the octets. Another use of this unit is that radio programs of importance can be recorded and played later. Radio stations refer to this as "instantaneous recording."

Presid'.nt Roosevelt has suggested that some form of youth training program, only partly military, should be devel· oped for the postwar era. Chairman May of the House Military Affairs Committee has announced a bill, to be presented to Congress, which proposes one year's compulsory military training for all boys between 17 and 21 years of age. lA.

Adolph Hitler, would-be conqueror of the world, is a nervous man. This was evidenced last week by his fanatic appeals to the German troops to "form a blood wall along the Po River," and "to 11tand to the last man along the Dneiper," a barrier which in Hitler's opinion "can be said to be. impregnable." All of this bombastic squealing is merely the dying effort of a man, or at least a being, who sees the walls of his fortress caving in upon himself. Hitler and his armies are definitely on the defensive and an unslackening drive by Allied arimes on every front will keep him that way until Nazidom and all its terror collapses. Next Stop Warsaw and Points West.

Under the direction of General M. Popov the mighty Russian Red Army is still slicing its way deeper and deeper into White Russia, and preparing to storm the Dneiper river line all along the 750 mile front aiming now at the Nazi defenses along the Polish border. In the Kubah area to the south Russian forces are slowly but surely cleaning up encircled Hitlerite bands, in an effort to trap the estimated 100,000 Nazi troops in the Crimea. Meanwhile the Americans. British and Canadians smash up the Italian boot, making Rome their immediate objective, Naples having been captured from the

To any who doubts the utter viciousness of Hitler and his dupes. let them consult the broken people of Naples, whose city was burned, shattered and almost completely leveled by the angry Germans. Naples is further proof that this is total war, a war not only on the battlefront, but on the homefront. A war waged not only upon armed soldiers, but on helpless civilians as well. Smash the Servant of Mars.

The German high command now seems to have definitely laid its future plans in Europe. From all aspects the German forces will retreat, fighting every in ch of t he way, until they begin to fall on German soil, and then the Nazis will beg for an armistice, letting the Allie.s believe that they are completely crushed and broken , militarily and economically. Even now the German military clique is probably planning a third German War of Domination. But now, as they were not after the last World war, the people of America are determined to smash the Germans and all that they stand for. America has seen her sons return broken in body and spirit twice in a quarter of a century. America is determined not to let this haulocast occur again. America must lead the way in destroying the military clique in Germany, the evil that has drained the blood of the world for generations

The boys like to have watches, small portable radios, knives and- nonpa·rlshabl e foods

from home. Apron kits equipped with everything the service man needs in the morning are al· ways welcome. Conveniently priced are the buddy kits with everything in them for cleaning up. They come in leather and in waterproof khaki twill. Rollup kits for overnight trips as well as shoe kits bring cheers. In the mad rush, let's not for· get the women in the service, that is, the nurses and those in the WAC. They want watches, perfumes, cosmetics and handkerchiefs, but especially perfume. ' Don'Lsend bulky packages as they don't have a lot of room to keep things and don't send messy or perishable food. Don' t send them sewing kits and things they can get for themselves. Tops though, is mail from home. Keep 'em reading with V·mail.

According to L . H . Alberty, director of vocational education in Lincoln, these classes make it pos s ible for one to obtain a higher paying job and to keep pace wit h the changes and developments in many occupations. Classes are usually held t w ice a week, and include arc and acety lene welding, air conditioning, au· tomobile engine tune up and mechanics, blueprint reading, car• pentry, custodial, diesel engines, drafting, electricity, heating and ventilating, metallurgy, accident prevention, power plant and boiler . r oom practice, radio service, railway courses, refrigeration, s heet metal pattern making, and telephone courses. Mr. Alberty stated that classes are also being conducted in n urses training at Lincoln General and St. Elizabeth's hospitals. He added that there are 29 such classes now and t here are usually only 14 or 15. This is due to the vital need for nurses in the war. Other classes such as those mentioned above ·are being held at the telephone company and at var ious factories and places of industr y in the city;

Is Promising 'New Fires' Has Ozark Farm As Setting And Picturesque Characters "New Fires," a three-act comedy by Charles Quimby Burdette which the Mummers-Mimes are presenting as their annual play this year on October 22 and 23, has a plot w hich the group promises will hold the audience's in· terest. Becau se of sugar rationing, no matinee will be held, but instead two evening performances will be given. The story briefly is as follows: Stephen Santry, an author, inh erits a farm in the Ozarks fro m a r ich old uncle. He goes down ther e to write a book and decides to send for hi s family (w ho, h e fears , have lost their grasp on the fundamental values of life) . The family believes it is to be purely a pleasure trip, but shortly after they arrive Stephen informs them that if they want to eat they have to work. This .is something entirely new to this family and the way in which the various members react is told in an ingenious manner. There are many h_umorous characters in the play ably played by the cast. Also, there is, of cou rse, some romance. The many different types of characters give the members of the cast a splendid chance to display their dramat ic ability.

formation concerning f inancial affairs of 1.i1e U ncoln school c.iis trict is given in a repor.t being prepared by the Lincoln board of education to be dist ributed in the next few weeks. The bulletin shows allocation of money in t he general fund as fol· lows: Instruction, 75.3 percent ; general control, 4.4 ; operation, 13.5; maintenance, 3.4 ; a uxiliary agencies, 2.8; fixed charges. .6. The a uditor's report cont ained in the bulletin shows an ex cess of receipts over disbursements in 1942-43 of $136,635.92 in contrast to the 1941-42 r eports showing t h e disbursements ex ceeded r eceip ts by $63,262.47. This excess in r eceipts is explained by the fact tha t m ore wa s collected in taxes and tha t less was spent. Less was sp ent because there were fewer pupils in school last year. "Can the r eceipts for 1943-44 and thereafter be counted upon to be as la rge a s in 1942-43 ? " is one of the questions. The a n swer is "No. C ollections cannot cont inue year after year t o be g rea ter than the amounts levied." T h e quest ion following, "Is it sound policy to use t h is tem porar y increase to pay school em ployees a w artime salary?" is answered "Yes." The bulletin ex p lains t hat t he bonded debt is being steadily reduced. All bonds outstanding are serial bonds and ap proximat ely the same amount falls due ea ch year . T he amount pa id in 1942-43 was $163,500. Half the debt incurred for the present s chool p lant has been paid. The t otal amount of all outstanding bonds June 30, 1943, was $3,061,000. In accordance with the board's policy, a ll bonds w ill be paid before buildings become obsolete. Sch ool dis trict a ccounts are audited e ach m ont h by certified public accountants . In a ccordance wit h state Jaw t h ere are four funds to which the district's income is a llocated-bond int erest, bond sinking, building and general. Into t he 1942-43 general fund t he a mount of U ,284 .335.74 wa s collected. Of t his, $1 ,101,407.42 was in taxcs.

Many of the charact ers and customs s hown in the recent Walt Disney's p rod uction "Sa 1.u do s Amigos" wer e inspired by the things the artists saw on t his trip. For example, the a musing J os e Carioca was inspired by a. B r azilia n par rot. The movie was an· account ot the t r ip, which was taken by airp lane , st arting with Brazil and covering a ll of the countries ot South America, Cent r a l A~e rica and Mexico.

According to t he pictur~. the people of these countries r eceived Disney a nd his company cor dially. Through t heir cooperation Disney was able to bring back many va l• ua ble .sketch es a nd souvenirs on which he has bas ed his cartoons.

Sigmund Ro1nherg, Fained Composer And Conductor, Gives Concert Here "I lik e Lincoln very much beca use of its broa d streets and nicelooking young ladies," was the opening statem ent in a n in t erview with Sigm und Rom berg, f am ed light opera composer and conductor . It was Mr . Rom berg·s first vis it to Lincoln. H is concert last F r iday night was the 145th of this t our and h e has 135 more t o do before the end of the year. H e star ted the tour at t he beginning of the year and has been m oving from her e to t here a ll t his t ime except for three mon ths which h e took Qff to r est and do s ome t r out fishing. His hobby is deep-sea fishing , but because of t he war, he was unable to do an y this summer. "Miss T ambouritza," is the title of t he opera he is wor king on. The them e "is about a g ir l enrolled in a girls' s chool in Switzerla nd and how she helps t he Chetniks, J ugoslavia n guerilla pat r iots, in the undergr ound . Mr. Romberg has been wor king on this opera for a yea r a nd as yet it isn't com· pleted. "Sunny R iYer," another one of his operas , is now pla ying in Lon-

"lt's the places with 16 juke boxes that we are against and not those w ith one," he explained. The owners of these places can buy the records for 17c apiece a nd t h ey make as much as $60 profit. When asked if he t hov.g h t t he m usic in movies was good Mr. Romberg stated that he d id not think the m usic was appr eciated because people can leave any time they wish , even in the m iddle of a song, and in a n opera they feel obligated to stay. "I r ead music as you read & book," he said. When composin g a song Mr . R omberg ca n hear every instru· ment 's part in his head.

Chance For Sportsmanship In Rivalry Between Schools Every year pupils and followers of Lincoln's two high schools, Northeast and Lincoln high, gather in tl1 e Lincoln high oval for an intra-city football g·ame. By all rights, this game should be one of friendly rivalry, one where, when the g·ame is over, the losers shake hands with the v ictors and there is a "best-mau-won" feeling throughout the entire stadium. Scottsblu~f an? Lincoln_ high have,rlways been the friendliest of rivals as shown at Scott sbluff a few wel'ks ago. This feeling can appear between two high schools in the same city. 'l'he pep clubs, bands and the teams have a friendly feeling toward each other. It is the minority of little people that occasionally miss the conception of true rirnlry and sportsmanship, thus injuring the reputation of both groups. Let us be able to say after the game that • we were the perfect host to this t eam.

Our Six Weeks Reports Usually Cause Cramming It came without warning although right on schedule. Yes, the sixth week is here and with it those tests which cause sleepless "'\ nights and produce weird looking students with circles tmder their eyes. P erhaps it didn't come without ·warning~ Hadn't our teachers been hinting or rather telling us that the sixth week was on the wad Now as we sit crouched in a chair w (th piles of books, crumbled papers lying everywhere, several chewed off pencils scattered here an1 ther e, we try to do some cramming and begm to wonder why we didn't study before. Eventually, we begin to wonder how we ever got in such a rut. After a little debating with ourselves we come to the conclusion that if we had stu'<lied every night we wouldn't be in silCh a situat~on. We give forth a moan, because the sixth week had seemed so far away before we didn't know it could come so fast. In th~ wee hours of ~orning still trying to cram, we ~olemnly promise always to study every night if we pass our six weeks' tests. Usually most of us survive the sjxth week. Let us therefore take a lesson from this sixth wee.k scare antl resol~e to st udy more intensely durmg the next period so we don 't have to resort to painful cramming when the twelfth week puts in its appearance.

Editor's Re·verie ~ast night I dropped off t o sleep without a smgle thought in my curly head. But a ll ?f a sudden I invoke and found I was s t.anding m ~rout of 210 drooling over a very non-fa ttenmg peca~ perfec!o. consisting of three dippers of vamlla positively dr·owned in gooey m~rshmallow and . ch ocolate fudge, topped with pec?ns, chen1es, and similar goodies of low-calon.c value. Wondering where I had purchased tlus small concoction I turned a nd saw I wa~ lapping over a huge soda fountain watchmg Dye play three handed bridge, by h erself of cours.e 1 ! A_fter watching closely I found her playrng 'nth eight aces, but I ·11 never tell, will you '!? Suddenly I heard a booming tl'ombone blarmg forth from the auditorium with that slow, dreamy piece, "Well, Git ]t ! " l knew, of course, who it was-I 've always been insane over T . D.- and I st11rted running down the hall, gently beating any poor pedestrian, who happened to get in my way, over t he head! Upon arriving to the Auditorium I found it vacant of all seats. I decided after much meditation, that the morons th'rowin g eac h other around were either L.II.S. pupils attem pting to dance, or our dear football team getting in practice for the big game with Northeast ! Without hesit ation I joined in, hoping it was th e latter, of course, since I 've decided that the only way I'll ever get a littl~ gold football is t o go out for left tackle myself. Suddenl y a bell rang for change of class, no doubt! Mother broke it t o me gently (hy t hrow ing a bucket of ice-water in my face) that it was 7 :00 and the alarm had called me from my heavenly dream back to realism. Oh well! That 's the " ·ay it goes! So T started off to s!'hoo l for anothe r noll-t\"(•11tf11 l d ay, where I slept through my first J classes ! Oh well . . . .• . .. .....• . ... • . ... . . I

1· Open Forum To the Editor: Since attendinf Lincoln high, I have felt a terrible hurried strain during the lunch period, which causes much contusion. It ireema to me a little better cooperation could be given by everyone during this time. Many students bring their lunches, but also like to buy aome hot diah. Of course, they add to the line of the students who regularly buy their lunches. We all know a hot lunch is much more healthful and beneficial than a few sandwiches brought from home. Therefore the cafeteria line should be kept moving 11.t a steady pace, so eveuyone can have a chance to get a good lWlch. If we all would have a little consideration for the other fellow, it would avoid so much congestion and would aid to correct the disorder. Each one always remembering to take his tray back to the window and leaving the table clean for the next person is a great help. The rules of the cafeteria are simple, so let's all try a little bit harder to make the lWlch period more pleasant and aucceuful. MARGIE DAHLMAN.

Man Shortage Step into my parlor, Said the girl to the •-F; You're the only boy I've seen for . days, And it thrills me half to death. Come on in, and have aome steak, . Or whatever else you'd like ; I must get to lmow you better, This P . M. we'll take a hike. You say your health won't s tand it? Well, that's o. k. with me; We'll use my stamps and take my car, To go out on our spree. Your glaues are becoming, And your store-teeth fit 110 well; And though your physique is lacking, I really think you're swell. You're the only man around here, And what's more, you're not rationed; How's &bout us going steady, That is, for the duration ? I know there's Iota of other girls, But really, they're not much; And I'd just love to go with you, And what's more, I'll go Dutch. You say I don't appeal to you ? The girls 11ay I'm loads of fun; And if you'll ju11t say, "Yes," to me, Then I'll put down this gun! DON SHEPHERD.

Your Explanation Of Six Weeks Marks In Order

Briel Lunch Time Causes Food Put In Wrong Place Excited eyes glance toward the clock. It clicks, ah, another minute gone, and one more to go. Then, what you have been waiting for all morning, lunch period ! Finally the clock clicks again. Everyone gets up and the students push toward the door. They head for the nearest stairway. Then to the lunch-room to grab the nearest chair and dig in. If you buy your lunch how about a nice thick steak with onions, mashed potatoes and rolls with butter?· (am I kidding?) While you are eating, nothing exciting occurs. Gosh, if that girl next to you doesn't get her elbow out of our face you might accidentally get it mixed up with your sandwich." "Oh, that's all right," you say to your friends on the other aide as she dumps her glau of water on your lap. And t hen, what happens when you push back your chair ? You bump into someone with a tray and Bhe spills hot soup down your neck. No sir, nothing exciting, just a nice quiet lunch!! After a very enjoyable lunch hour (pardon me, half hour) you run back to cla.sa, you're still hungry too, because so much wu happening you didn't get your lunch eaten.

Habit 0 f Puncuality I 1 Great A.uet Today . . The bell l"ings, the student l"Ushes into the classroom, but alas, he is late! Why? Becau~ he talked to a friend too long, or perhaps he was just simply poking along and didn't l"ealize the time. This isn't necessary. Promptness is of vital impol"tance in war time, not only in school, but also in essential war jobs and defense factories. If a person Is late in one of these joba it is very .erious. It also Is bad manners to be late at social functions. So let's all strive to develop the habit of being. on time in whatever we do and beat the bell!!

Beginnings Of An Editor Been rackin' my brain for days and nights. Been coverin' dances, games and fights. Got statements from teachers. And have written them up And, yes, I've even told of my neighbor's new pup. And when I've collected all the news that's on hand. Something pops up about the L. H . S. Band. I put all my heart in the stories I write. And glare a t the typewriter till late hours at night.

Newcomers Party ls Fun For Hosts Too; Compton And Dana Win Prizes "Hey, what's your name? Will you sign my sheet? Let's 11ee, you're blonde, aren't you ?" And so began the N ewcomers party, spon110red by the student council and home room r cpresentatiV(':!. It was given last F riday, October 8, for newcomers to Lincoln high school, luting from 3:30 to 4 :30. An estimated number of about 40 guest!I attended. Everyone received application blanks on which were to be tilled out the signatures and former schools of three blondes of the opposite sex, any two guest11, two boy and two girl brunettes, a home room "rep's" signature and three persona whoae laat name began with same letter as theirs. The winner was Aloha Mae Hausner, who received a candy bar for her efforts. Following this, the newcomer11 were divided into four groups, a ccording to th<! time of year t hey were born; winter, s ummer, fall, and spring. On the back of each pupils was pinned a slip of paper on which pictures were drawn representing food. After figu ring out what each item was (such as a V colored gray; representing gravy, ) they wrote each item down until they had twelve. The "catch" was

not to let anyone see what item un<! had on his back. Try, if you can! The four winners were Evelyn Compton, Iring Dana, Jean Carter a nd J <i.y Nablclt. T o determine t he winner from the tour, a balloon blowing contest was held, the first ones balloon to pop was the winner. Bang! and Evelyn Compton won, with Irving Dana as a close second. A candy bar (what ! again ? ) was the prize. Refreshments of cake and ice cream were served afterward in the safetria. Mrs. Ruthale J or gensen was in charge of the game.

Managing Editor Causes Anxiety For His Staff " There he is," "Hey here's & story;" "Somebody atop him.'• These were the cries the Advocate reporters sent ringing from the window11 of 217 last Tuesday. The managing editor left school with last minute copy for the printer. A few seconds later another story which should have gone too, was discovered. One member of the class thought the editor parked his car at the Hi-Y. So a messenger wa.1 dispatched with the story in that direction. Another staff member thought he parked his car near the rear of the bQilding, so she was sent there. The class threw up the windows and hung far out, watching the race with anxiety. Sudden ly the vanished edi tor appeared beneath the windows. Hence the cries and shouts. The fact that there was another story on its way was m ade known to him and the staff settled back to its respective j obs.

Book Ends BY HELEN HUMMEL. The Human Comedy. Although the locale of "The Hu· man Comedy" is camouflaged by a ficitious name, "Ithaca," in reality it is Fresno, California, where an American family who lives on the wrong side of the tracks is meeting current problems in a war torn world. Marcus, the oldest son, is. in the army. The widowed mother is aided in maintaining the family by Mary, the older daughter, and Homer of high school age. Homer does his share in assuming the family responsibilit y. U lysses, the youngest member of the family, often gets in trouble and some member of the family must come to his rescue. Homer works as a telegraph messenger and has to deliver some tragic telegrams that he takes to heart. Mr. Spangler , manager, of the telegraph company, ha s an appreciation of Homer's· earnest de· sire to aid in the support of hi.s family. Humor comes when one reads about old Mrs. Groggins who claims he is the best telegra ph operator of his timt ..nd when Homer's strict school teacner, Miss Hicks, turns out to be a friend. The pleasures and sorrows ot this fa mily could be that of any typical American family today. More new books have arrived in the libra r y and are being prepared for circulation. A list of these will appear in the Advocate soon.

No Swimming in This Class. The boys' sports classes are not the only place you may hear the commands of "Left face ! Right face!" and "Forward march!" as Miss Lillian Story's period 1 physical education i class are also receiving such commands as these, and many more. This class will not have any swimming during the entire semester because there is a boys' advanced swimming class meeting at the some time and using the pool the whole period. Therefore their program consists of marching, calisthenics and other types of floor work. New Cadets. Cadets in the physical education department from the University of Nebraska are Jane Johnson, Ruth Ann Robertson, Frieda Phillips and Lois Jenkins. These cadets are senior majors in this particular department. Cadets are girls who practice teaching. Miss Johnson and Miss Robertson are alumni of Lincoln high school.

When the Northeast game comes up this weekend the three boys that scored all our points last year 'Nill be in the service or near it. Bobbie Glenn, one of the scorers, is in Maryland going to ASTP school ; Harry Fox is in Miami, Florida, and is an MP in the Air Force. Bob "Extra Point" Patton is scheduled to go to the Marines a week from Friday. World series! These two words ha v e caused grief, sorrow, stricken homes and happiness to Lincoln high school. Some of the mean cries given out by students in favor of the Cards when they dropped behind made most of the lOB's hide. But it looks as if the Yanks have come through again. Congratulations go to Dick Brigham who has passed his physical and is now in the Navy; consolations to Alex Fink, who didn't because of two broken ear drums. There is a compensation in that Lincoln high needs him on the team . rt looks as if the Links will go on to victory and another state title. Here's hoping! For the first home game of the University of Nebraska football team which was played last Saturday, many sports lovers, and money lovers in high school secured knot-hole tickets from their home room teachers. These tickets save more than U.00 per game, 25 cents being the admission. Alliance lost it's chance to play Lincoln when it turned down a home and home game schedule from Coach Beechner. Dorothy Janet Baroch, '41, re·· cently enlisted in the WAVES. She le ft for Hunter college, New York, for her training. While attending Lincoln high school Miss Baroch belonged to the art club, the writers club, the Round Table, and was on the Scribe board. ;After leaving Lincoln h igh school, she was employed at the Nebraska Ordinance plant at Mead prior to her enlistment in thE: WAVES.

Biff, barn, wham, crash, and the north field football team (or what's left of it) staggers out from under the pile. This is how it has been during the frequent scrimmages, north field has had with the reserves. The players hav~ also had a few rounds with the Cathedral high boys, in six man football and later in the season are planning a full game with them. Northeast reserves may be another game on the north field list. Bud Brueggeman, left half for the first team, is a promising threat, being a good passer, runner, and good on the defense. Carl Christophersen, a fast guard, is showing up well in practices. Although some of the boys are pretty small, the spirit is good and they have hopes of winning some of their games.

Square Dancing Greatly Enjoyed by Teachers Once every two weeks the members of the Lincoln school system and their husbands and wives meet for an evening of entertainment. The piano player plays, the "caller" calls, the dancers dance and the square dancing gets under way. Lincoln teachers association sponsors the square dancing. Two years ago when this type of danc· ing was just becoming popular, there were classes for the teachers. Now that everyone knows how to dance, they come to have a good time. At the last meeting there were 32 percent. The teachers meet in room 131 at Lincoln high. Mrs. Flood furnishes the music. , Frank Kane or Walter Ernst call the dances and Mrs. Ruthalee Jorgenson is in charge.

Thomas Johnson, '40, was r escued in the South Pacific after be ing reported missing in action! Caught in a tropical storm, his plan e was thrown into a tailspin from which he couldn't r ecover and h e was forced to bail out. Landing in the water, he infla ted his rubber raft, in which he was forced to spend the following four days. He paddled all the first day and finally came in sight of a n island, but he couldn't get any closer ae the surf kept carrying the raft out t o sea again. Three days later h e was pic ked u p by a d estroyer and treated for salt-water sores on his arms and legs. Luckily he h a d a canteen of water for drinking and didn't suffer too greatly from lack of food, as h e might have if he had had to stay out there any longer. On a r ecent leave here in Lincoln, Lt. Johnson attended services for h is late commanding officer at the Lincoln A ir Base. He h as been in more than 100 combat m issions and has been cited for bravery.

He added that the boys on Bataa n were evidence enough tha t we were unprepared for this war. A girl, voting no, expressed the idea tha t many boys would not benefit by it, in tha t they would be deprived of a yea r 's schooling necessary to their future profession. She also thought that with post-war planning there would be no need for an army for many years. She voted yes on the question nf voluntary ser\'lce _

0. H. Bimson Views School, War Relation School Official Toured• Center "The Schools Relation to the War Program," was the subject of a report given at a faculty meeting October 12, by O. H. Bimson, assistant superintendent of schools who recently returned from a tour of Fort Leavenworth induction and reception center. "Induction into the army is a friendly experience. The officers are kindly, and there is no spirit of brutality," said Mr. Bimson. "Placement is based on the results of achievement and aptitude tests given to all inductees upon entrance into armed forces; and if they pass successfully both experiences, they are given a 21-day furlough, after which they return to the reception center, and are given another physical examination and a radio operator's test, before actual training begins. Men who can differentiate between volume and tone quality, are finally sent to the placement officer, who must say in the inductee's presence what he. will report of him." Continuing, Mr. Bimson staled that on the average, of all the m en who ta ke the examina t ion, 75 p~ '-- '<;.:ll ~

for lhe men who !or some reason have never learned to read or write, a Special Training Unit 111 maintained in which they are taught the things which will qua lify them for various positions in their bran ch of the service. Officers with high ratings are placed in the C. G. S. (Command Gen eral Supply) for a period of nine weeks. It is top training to top officers, who have charge of transportation and the moving of men, supplies, materials on maneuvers, and the shipping of m en to other camps. "The army has no desire to tell the high schools what to teach," he said. "Rather they are telling them their needs, the great est of which is strong young men, who know how to follow oral and written directions." In closing, Mr. Bimson pointed out that even though our high s chool and other high schools have begun to pay the cost in casua lties, the middle west r emains strangely quiet. Both east and west coasts are in a turmoil from the war, with the ir war plants and defen se activities, but as y et the middle west has not fulJy r ealized the graveness of the world situ ation.

Skipping School Simply Hindrance; Day Wasted Every d ay millions of pupils are absent from school and more than one-fourth of these absences are truants. Since war-time t he number has not been altered. This does not seem logical! In Africa, South Pacific, Icel and, everywhere-boys are fighting for t h e rights of fre edom. One of the most import ant is the right for free-education. Why, if this is true, and it is, don 't boys and girls take advantage of it ? ~ 1 When one "skips" school , he usually wastes the day by doing absolutely noth ing. Why not take advantage of the opportunities offered and soak up all the knowledge poss iblf'. By being truant, one is hinderin g himself most of all.

Submarine Duty Affords Suspense, Thrilling Adventure To Perry Hanneman; Wears Stars

Richard Crossett ls From South; Likes Students

"We were about four miles off the coast of Japan, operating in water 86 feet deep. When coming up to periscope depth, we saw black smoke on the coast. The captain said, 'that can't be a convoy, it's too close to the shore.' Submerging to 86 feet again, we then came back up to periscope depth and once again the captain looked t oward the coast and he could still see the smoke, on1y closer now. Not being able to make it out we submerged a.nd 'came up again. This time the captain could make it out. It was a Japanese freight train running along the coast. We made battle surface and fired eight rounds from our deck gun. We hit the engine and a couple of cars. We then submerged and continued on with our men." This was one of the incidents that happened on a run 1U1 told by

"I like Lincoln high all right so far," stated Richard Crossett, from Little Rock, Arkansas. "I also think the students here are friendly." Richard, a senior, entered Lin· coin high school Thursday, Oc· tober 14. His · father, a major , is stationed at the Lincoln Air Base. "The subjects h ere are about the same as in Little Rock," he s aid. "We have history, English and the four languages. In order to graduate we must have 32 credits." Lit tle Rock high school has a n enrollment of 3,000 students. The school is two blocks long a nd it is considered the most beautiful school in the South. There is a fish pond .in front which adds t o the attractiveness of the school. The Advocate excJ:tanges with the school paper , The Tiger. The football team is also called the Tigers. Their school stadium can accommodate 10,000 persons. The state guard sponsored a pre-induction course last spring at Little Rock . While there, Richard was platoon sergeant in the mili· tary drill. The classes were held after school. The world is a small · place after all as he told of the fad at Little Rock where the boys and girls peroxided their hair as they did here Jalfl: spring.

"When we came in off patrol on the docks they had ten gallons of milk, six or seven ice cold water melons, several crates of different type of fruits, ice cream and cantaloupe and the most Important item, mail. We have the best food in the Navy," he stated, "and I think that the submarine service is the safest in the Armed Forces.'' Every man has an individu3.l bunk with a mattress four inches thick, shower, sunlamp, and a library with enough books to read in a year.

Open Forum To the Editor: Do you realize what the children of the next generation will have to go through when they study history? Besides studying what we now study, they will have to learn 20 or 30 more years of history in the .same time we are supposed to learn the history we now have. Why is modern history a required course ? Who cares what means of transportation primitive people had, or how they star ted fires? Why couldn't geography, modern problems and other social studie11 courses be required in the places of this by-gone history ? It would do a student more good to know where places are in the world, how to find them, and something about the modem problems of our co1mt ry and people instead of knowing what peopie did back in the dark ages. It does a person more good to study about things that have happened recently, are happening, or will happlm instead of studying about what happened five or six centuries ago. A school's program should be changed to fit a growing educational f ield. - WAYNE ERICKSON .

tria, to mention but a few, need supplies in the way of food, clothing and medical aid. The families of the men in our armed forces need more money on which to live. Their loved ones are out there fighting for the r ights we cherish as Americans. Then t oo, this year our Community Chest drive is to be included in this campaign. Lincoln's goal is set at $292,000. It's hoped this will be reached in a week. "Dig Down Deep."

Hanneman wears quite a few r ibbons on his chest. They are De· fense bars for before the war, American theater of war, AsiaticPacific theater of war and good conduct. He also wears five stars for the combats he has been in. Being in the Navy before the war, he has changed around some and has gone to quite a few different schools. He had thirteen weeks of boot training at Great Lakes, three months at Henry F ord machinist mat e school, a year on a destroyer. All of this training was taken before the war. Then he transferred t o the submarine service and took four months more training at New London, Conn., in the submarine and Diesel schools. He is in charge of a Diesel engine on board the submarine. He has been in the service a little more than a year.

Hudkins Lone Scorer As Links Win Championship Links Squeeze P astRockets Take City Championship; Score In First Two Minutes Hudkins Runs Yards for Only Score in Game

Lincoln high's Red and Black eleven rolled over the only score of the game after awo minutes of the first quarter of the entra-city championship game Friday to nip Northeast 6-0. Hardly had the pac ked stands of the oval s ettled down when little Dick Hudkins broke over his own guard and ran 16• yards to pay dire. The scoring march came when Al Fink took the kickoff on his 10 yard line and ran 25 yards before being brought down. Hudkins hit tackle for three. Fink again g ot away for gains of 25 and 15 yards, ·the ball, then lying on the 22-yard line of the Black and White. Again he hit tackle for 6 yards. Then "Carrot" Hudkins sliced guards for the remaining 16 yards and the game-winning points. Fink was smothered on the try for extra point. N ortheast missed a chance to score when, in the second chapter, Lodge stopped Delaney, spilling him for a 5-yard loss on the 6yard line. Other marches by both of them burned out or were hurt interceptions. Two passes that migb._t have resulted in touchdowns slipped through the receivers' cold fingers. Harold Becker and Ernie Lee were Lincoln's defensive powers and Cliff Squires, Northeast was the opponent's mainstay. In the Lincoln backfield, Bill B etz and Ralph Leikam played great defensive ball , while Dick Hudkins and Alex Fink took care of the offensive play. For Northeast, it was the beautiful kicking of Knight who held the Links back. He and Wolfe looked gest on ofefnse. The Links looked best on the board, making 246 yards to the Rockets' 146. The first downs were 8 to fi in favor of tl;le Links. The box: LINCOLN NORTHWEST L.E. Lodge ••••••••••••••• • ••.•. Laub L .T . Lee (gc) ••••••••••••.. • .. .. Sack L.G.

Seamen · 2-C Arthur Staley, Harold Michael and Johnny Loos, former Lincoln high students, who entered the Navy in July, have completed boot training at Farragut, Idaho. They have been on leave in Lincoln recently and returned to Farragut Ootober 10 for further orders. Seaman 2 / C Bob Franklin, '43, returned to Farragut, Idaho, after· a 15-day leave. It takes 51 hours to come from Farragut to Lincoln by train. The boys do not like this because it takes so much time they would like to spend at home.

Twirlers Will Get School Uniforn1s R ed skirts, black sweaters with emblems and white boots are to be the new uniforms to be worn by the twirlers in the band. It was hoped that the girl'! would receive their emblems in time to be worn last Friday, but they were delayed. These however will not be worn at the game.s but will oe worn in school to denote their signifkance. The girls entitled to wear them are: Gloria Ann Green, Bonnie Smith, Lois Gillett, Hazel Johnson, Maxine Kennedy, twirlers; Myrtis Rider, Carolyn Wilkinson, Betty Whitmore, as flag twirler s , and Beverly Owens as alternate.

Although the r unway is dry dirt, this s tation is the only one to s tart training the cadets in a W ACO-p.p.f-7, 220 horse power plane. When the p lanes take off, the field is covered as by a d1:st storm. Roger said that the WACO is hard to master, but when a man can fly it, he has really accomplished something. "I soloed and it is really a great feeling. You hear about h ow swell it is to solo. well, it is really keen. It seems so much better to be up there aione and a lot more fun~ " He qualified as air pilot on his first flight which ended with a perfect three-point landing. In the dormitory h e shares r.is room with one other boy and each has his own desk and bed. From his window he can see the mountains beyond or the palm trees and cacti below. Some of the sororit ies gi·1e dances for them and a dude ranch provides horseback riding and occasionally a r odeo. "It's hot here but I'm crazy about it," was Roger's sununary of Tucson.

Band Uses New March Formation F ormation of the band Friday night was a new one which was r eh earsed for three weeks prior to the game. The band form ed at the south end of the field in a straight line opening like Canal doors. The band marched to the center of t he field and counter marched into a large "N.

New School Song Given Northeast Students Are Honored Guests At Pepper Assembly "Lay Northeast right down , boys, lay Northeast right down," was the cry of the so-called football players (Peppers to you) in a pep assembly Friday morning. Honored guests were two cheer leaders from Northeast high school, B illie Trombla and Darlene Tracy, and Barba ra Gooding who !s president of the sQ.Jdent council and a member of the Rockets, pep club. The cheerleader outfits were completely black with the exception of a large white "N" on the front of the sweaters and white " jeep" hats. The n ew schoo l song, "Fight L incoln," was a big success and the students responded enthusiastically, hel pin g cheer the football players on to victor y . Phy llis Hoke introduced an "oldfashioned melodrama" featuring Joan Farrar as the heroine, Miss Championship; Virginia Reiter as the big, bad villain, Northeast, w ho was determined to marry the heroine; and Phyllis Mortlock as the solemn judge. The hero, the Lincoln high team, represented by Peppers, rescued Miss Championship at just the right moment, a nd the villain slunk ou t in traditional style. T o the tune of "Pistol P ackin' Mamma," the Peppers urged the boys to "lay Northeast right down" and ended the sketch with an effective conga.

Max Davis, ART

l / c. visited school last week on his first furlough in t wo years. He has been in t he Navy for two years and th r ee months. Max is stationed at Santa Ana, California and remarked on the only change he had noted in Lincoln was less men and cars on the street. H e still thinks L incoln girls are the best looking, however. Davis, a graduate of '38, has a sister Marilyn Davis, senior, and is t he nephew of Miss Valeria Bonnell. Pfc. Bili Hayes, '43, is now in the Marine Corps. He was sent directly to his present station, the Marine Base a t San D iego, California. He is now attending a s chool for cooks and bakers . While in school he lettered in football and was a m ember of t he 1942 state championship f ootball squad.

Debus, former all-

around athlete for Lincoln high, is now playing football for the Navy. He is stationed in Crete going to Doane college. At the present t ime he is inju red and won't be able to play for abou t three w eeks . While in L incoln high he set some very good records in track. He still holds the pole vaulting and the d iscus record .. In football he was known for his great passing ability. Dick Brigham, who play'd halfback for L incoln h igh earlier in the season, was recently sworn into the Navy and left for Farragut, Idaho, Friday, where he will take his basic trainin g. After his basic .t r a ining he hopes to study dentistry. As wet as the football field g ot during the rain the ot het4day, the next morning the field caretaker was out wetting down the almost muddy field.

While Adolph grimaces under the possibility that the Russians may reach the Bug river, the waterway and last natural defense of the Germans, in Western Russia, the bone-crushing Red Army con· tinues to smash ahead, capturing villages and populated places by the hundreds daily. Herr Hitler must also be lying awake nights worrying about the 500,000 Nazi troops in the big bend of the Dnieper river, whose escape corridor is being narrowed daily and whose capture would spell another disaster to the Wehrmacht as great or greater than Stalingrad.

continually hammering the Japanese warlords in the Pacific theater of this global war. The seizure of Treasmy Island, a tiny dot of land and a potential airbase in the Solomon Gl'Oup, showed that our forces in this sector are not idling away their time. but are striking at the enemy "wherever he may be." With the seizure of airbases, the appointment of leading military strategists to command in this area. the daily massing of more troops, planes and warships, one can definitely see a massive drive shaping up which will eventually lead to Tokyo. Let's Get Together for Victory! As our victorious troops in all parts of the world rolled against the enemy last week, rumors of strikes in two vital war industries were current. Several brotherhoods of the railroad industry prepared to take a strike vote, saying that they were not satisfied with the efforts of the War Labor Board to adjust their wage increase demands and the coal miners in other states, particularly in the South, laid down their picks for the same reason. Cannot a people who are fighting for their very existence settlfO their diffl)rences quickly and get on with the fight? France was divided within herself and now lives under the heel of Germany.

Pupils Help Issue Ration Book Four Issuing of ration book number four was only a vacation for some pupils. But some worked at schools Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons and evenings. Not all pupils turned in their names so only a few are mentioned here. Those that volunteered through Lincoln high are: Bonnie Dill, Helen Colberg and Mildred Jensen, who worked at Saratoga; Helen Frickel who helped at Park, and Bille Lou Finke and Jean Stephens, who worked at Hartley. Some girls in L. H. S. have volunteered their services free of charge to help at the 0. P. A. offices. They do all kinds of cleric al work, such as filing and stamping. Miss Ethel Murray said, "This is not only good experience in office work, it is also good experience in meeting people and transacting business with them." After the girls have completed five hours work they are ex· pected to work a little of one day every week. They are graded by the government, excellent and satisfactory, and the hours and grades are sent to Miss Murray. Also, after they have worked five hours, they are allowed to wear an o. P. A . student volunteer button.

Faculty Reaches Quota For War Fund Drive Lincoln high school faculty members and custodial force reached the quota when they pledged $1,4,50 for the Lincoln War Fund drive Wednesday, Oc· tober 27. This was 15 percent over the quota of last year.

Stressing the importance of learning to live "physically, mentally and spiritually," Miss Bess Exton, health education consultant for the National Education association. addressed an assembly Tuei;day, October 26. Miss Exton reviewed the problems of the day in regard to youth as brought about by the war and pointed out, "teen age workers on the home front, juvenile delinquency, and health" as the chief troubles with which we must contend. As far as health is roncenif'd, '"'~1;"

:.\tiSS Exton. She emphasized the far better physical fitness of the meJi going into our armed forces today than went into the last war and the Civil War. "The fact that the health of the nation may be improved is evidenced by the excellent condition of the boys who left the CCC ranks, of whom not one out of five was physically fit in 1935 when the Corps was organized. These boys are now fighting for their country in the front lines," continued Miss Exton. Consumer education was also emphasized by the speaker as an important role in which the student may participate. Under this heading come sucn things as Tationing, buying necessities carefully and spending extra money wisely. Miss Exton pointed out as health preventions such precausions as: washing before meals; keeping down flies which are great disease carrie1·s; guarding against respiratory diseases such as colds .. flu .and tuberculosis, and taking care of the teeth. The army personnel alone have 1,600,000 dental fillings each month and 2,000,000 treatments in all.

hospitals.

These tables fit right

over the bed and have lap boards which slant or lay flat. Twenty tables of white enamel are being made. A number of this type of tables were made last year also. 1'en book wagons which will bri used by the Ladies in Gray to take books around to patients in the hospitals are an undertaking

the boys. Five folding card tables are an1Jt.her project of the dasses. Needed for these 1s hardware from old card tables. Those who have any old tables which can no longer be used are asked to take them ta Mr. Evans in the carpenter shop and they will be greatly appreciated.

Teachers will be in their rooms all evening to welcome pupils and their parents. Most class rooms will have on display, work that has been done this semester. A motion picture of the Victory Corps war work will be shown in the auditorium. Original designs including a Spaniall scene, a kitten, an Am~r ican flag, a football player, and others have been typed by Mrs. Frances Rein's typing classes for display. Newly made skirts, jackets and suits will be the Open House ture of _ Miss Mildred E. Kemp's sewing classes. Despite the handicaps the girls encountered all along the way, ine,xperienced salesgirls, poor material, high prices, scarcity of needles and temperamental sewing machines and irons, most garments have turned out exceedingly well.

Chief of Staff Gives Vivid Review of War; Paints Word-Picture of U. S. Struggle General George Marshall has given the most comprehensive and authentic story obtainable of our part in the war in his official report recently made by the Secretary of War. Our enlry into the war was marked by a" succession of serious reverses, at Pearl Harbor. in the Philippines and through the Malaysian Archipeiago. With our Pacific Fleet crippled and the Philippines over-whelmed at the outset, we were forced to watch the enemy progressively engulf our resistance to his advantages. The enemy is steadily declining while the combined power of the United Nations is increasing rapidly each month. Every resource we possess is being employed to hasten victory without undue sacrifice of the lives of our men. The requirements of the troops are that they are to be highly trained in a variety of complicated subjects: alsn. be capable of fighting as a co-ordinated unit in large scale mo bi le operations. Transforming an infantry di,·ision inlo a competent fight ing team of l:J,000 men is a long· and complicated job. It takes skill to

do this.

For instance. within a

typical infantry division the transportation of men, equipment and supplies requires more than 1,500 men. The preparation of food requires more than 650 men. The duties in connection with food and supplies require more than 700 men; medical 600; communications 1,400; repair and maintenance of equipment · 450, and miscellaneous 1,600. All of these soldiers receive not only intensive training in their specialties but also combat training to support effectively the 8,000 men in the division whose principal job is at the fighting front. Officers training· school is for the men who wish to train other new men. They train inductees. In June, 1943, there were 206,000 officers serving from lieutenant to lieutenant colonel. The manner in which the armed forces have carried on in the war is an outstanding feature. The Army Air Forces are now attacking the enemy on ten different fronts throughout the world. Their victories testify to the gallantry and skill of pilots and crews, to

the mechanical efficiency of the planes and to the leadership of General Arnold and other Air Force fighting commanders. During the last week in July, six American missions, averaging 300 heavy bombers each, were flown against Germany. It has been made necessary to Import war materials through harbors in the Red Sea, Suez Canal, to get them to Russia. A little over a year after the Woman's Army Auxiliary Corps was established, mor.e than 65,000 women were members and are serving in more than 240 posts, camps, and stations over seas. An outstanding feature of operations in the present war has been their ambitious character which requires close coordination with the Navy not only in the protections furnished to the transports enroute to landing beaches, but in actual air, anti-aircraft and gunfire support of landing parties after the troops leave the ships. In transporting more than two million men of the Army overseas through submarine-infected waters the Navy has lived up to its tra• di tional record.

One of the many oddities contained in the Lincoln high greenhouse, on fourth floor, is a South American plant, commonly called an "airplant". It appeared in the f ilm " South of the Border with Walt Disney'', shown to Lincoln high students in an assembly about a month ago. This plant gets its name from the odd way in which it pro· duces new plants. Its blossom drops to the ground when it is ready and wherever it drops a new plants sprouts. Some of its neighboring odd i t i es

are d ifferent

spec ies of

cactus, a banana tree and a rubber plant. Ferns and other green foliage 'are _the highlight in the green· house this semester. Three weeks ago, Miss Mary N. Bardwell, who, not only has charge of the greenhouse but also takes ca re of it, planted every kind of fern and green foliage that can possibly be grown in Lincoln.

Open Forum To the Editor: Before I start I would like to say that the follow ing · are m y ideas, t aken from no authority of any kind and derived f rom one small individual. It all started the other night when I was reading my h istory book and g ot inter· ested. Before I knew it I had read three or four chapters. I couldn't get it out of my mind that t he world' seemed to go constantly in circles. A nation risee only to fall again. Another tries, maybe it reaches its goal, only to lose it to another oncoming nation. The new crowned nat ion fails for some reason or other, and another nation takes its place. I began wondering why no nat ion ever stayed on top or wh y no nation ever stayed on the bottom. I decided that the reason no nation stayed in one place was because every nation, like every individual, has its good traits and its bad ones; that every nation, like every individual, had enough g'ood points t o make that nation or that individual keep striving t o reach a h igher goal, but enough bad points to k eep a n at ion or an individual from reaching its goal and staying there. Perhaps this is part of the definite plan, t o keep life a constan t struggle against failing. Maybe you could draw the con. clusion from this t hat if the above is true, then there will never be universal peace. I myself think this is a good thing, for a nation without struggles or an individual with'.lut s truggles would be like a football game with only one team playing. BOB McGEHEE ..

Lt. Phillips Tells Of Instructor's School in Army Lt. E . Bryant Phillips, former Lincoln high teacher and debate coach, in a let ter to Mrs. Grace Hyatt, w rites, "For six weeks I wu assigned to a pre-flight school in San Antonio; where I understudied several excellent instructors and taught a class now and then. Then I was as.signed to Cen· tral Instructors School at Randolph Field, Texas. "Our academic schedule here is a rat race ; our instr uctors are boiled owls and the cou rses are rugged. We respond to a bell at 5 :15, eat at 5 :45, clean barrack~ until nearly seven, then wend our way with a song, to ye halls -of academy," he stated. "In Navigation we learn how one should fly under, over, around and through clouds. In identification we learn to tell the difference betw een a P -38 and the battle.ship Iowa in a h undredth of a second, or perhaps the difference between a B-26 a nd a B-34 in a twenty-fifth of a second. I do the best on the first of these alternatives," Lt. Phillips continued. "I've enjoyed it a lot, living in barracks; studying navigation, meterology, military law, and the like. On the side, we march a bit, p lay b!Uleball, volley ball, swim" h e concluded. Lt. Phillips went into the Army after school w as out last semester.

Their school paper was the P arker P ress and their school colors we re green and white. Ther e were ten periods a day and ea ch one-half hour long. Th ey t each Pittman shorthand which is different and h arder than Gregg shorthand. Loretta vacationed h er e in Lincoln this summer and then nioved to Knoxville, Tennessee, where her parents were. Knoxville high was on the same order as Lincoln hig h. Their football team was called the Trojans and their colors were blue and white. The Southerners speak with a slow draw l and always say, "you all." Another expression used Is, "I don't gues.s I will." Because of the crowded living conditions in Tennessee, where a big project is going on, Loretta an d h er family had to move to Lincoln.

Between the Book Ends BY BETTY MULLENDORE. "Take Her Down," by Commander T . B . Thompson U. S .N., is the story of a submarine, the L-9. He · tells what happens to Americans inside a cylind rical steel shell during World War 1. It depicts the elaborate adven-

ture in preparmg the t iny L-9 for crossing the stormy Atlant ic in a midwinter of fear . .. of the first start that lead into the very heart of the fiercest hurricane ever recorded . . . of the savage mauling by the storm that raged for t en days and left the crew half dead. It tells of many other adventu res that only a s ubmarine and its crew could experience. "Army Flyer " by L ieutenant General H. H . Arnold and Major Gen eral Ina C. Eaker would be great h elp for those who are going to join the air force, as it tells of the duties and responsibilities of an army flyer. It takes a fledgling pi lot and in his cade t days, t ells him what to expect and how to meet his obligations during training at the school. "The Navy Has Wings" by Fletcher Pratt is t o story of Naval Aviation and of the men who make up this hard-hitting force, the pilots. navigators, bombardiers, radio operator and the men who k eep 'em flying. The book t ells how the y live, what they do, what they think and talk about. their m ethods of operation, t he machines they handle and above all, the exacting m ethods by which they a re trained.

Pupil Struggles Through Evening At Open House "Gee folks, here we are," said Mabel. " Now let me see, does 'the teacher come first in introducing or not? "

" For hea vens sake! hang on to Johnny and make him behave, or I shan't be able to show my face here again." "Dad, this is Miss; no Mother, I'd like to have you m eet; Miss X, these are my folks. ·· "An d h ow is sister coming along in algebra? "' questions father. "Well-I." r eplies M iss X. "Uh, Miss X ," stammers Mabel, "I don't want to seem rude, but if the folks expect t o visit the rest of my classes I believe we'd better move on . See you t omorrow," she says, halfway down the hall. Mother and father look at each other and s m ile understandingly, planning to r eturn to Miss X when Mabel and Johnny go to the program in the .a uditorium. "Johnn y, for Pete's sake, slow up ' Mother, after all. I'll be the · disgrace of the evening. J u st you wait John King. When. you have Open House I'll g et even with you ." "Here's my favorite class," sighs Mabel, slowing dow n to her class door. "Uh. huh," say both parents. They enter p repared for anything but a long visit. The v isit lasts most of the evening. Just as long as Mabel brings up new questions. in between "Oh's," and "Ah's." Oh, well, t here·s ano ther Open House next year.

Ritliug in Peep Requires Skill of lllind~ llluscle, and "h'luch Intestinal Fortitude Bump, bump, wham! "H ey, can't you s low this 'peep ' down a li ttle ?" "What?" "I said, can't you slow this thing down ? " " S low it down , why we're only doing 4:J mph." "I know, but I 'd like to sit down. I don' t see why they put seats in thes e things. you never use 'em ." This is what comes of riding in a peep for the first time. Here is h ow it all started. One bright morning you ar~ walking a way from t he airfield to get something to eat. All of a sudden, zoom-a nd a "peep" jumps by. You decide that would be a good way to get where you·re going (milita ry secret, you know ) so y ou hail t he driver, "How about a lift?" The r esponse is ina u dible so you hop in anyhow and w hen you are finally seated (probably on someone's lap l you slap the fellow on the back and yell , "Swell day, bu d, ain't it ?" Then you realize something is wrong and you study the fellow more closely and, "Nice day isn't it, Major'!" How are you to know that h e is an officer, after all you' \•e been in the army only three months,

they can't expect y ou to kno'" everything. The major frowns but shifts Into low and you're off ( you probably a re if you' re riding in a "peep." ) The speedometer starts to climb, 25, 30, 35, 40 a nd then the driver shifts into second and by the time the gears are in high the speedometer s h ows 65 miles per hour. Well, now there is nothing wrong with that on a highway, but it just so happe ns (lucky it did or there wouldn't' be much more to tell) that this "peep" is in the middle of a plowed field. You loolt down at the wheels and find tha t not o ne of them is touching the ground. You report this to the major who .calmly says, "You wanted t 11 fly anyway, didn't you ?" Your answer is meek but you reply, "Yes s ir, but in an airplane, not a blitz-buggie."

The woman of the inquiring look, separated the two girls so the y wouldn't influence eac h othe r 's answers. Then she questioned them as to how many radios they have in their homes. if they liked Sonny Tufts (there was a short patise for droofing h er e) a nd othe r questions ·a bout movies. She desc ribed s how·s w ith out g iving the name a nd aske d them if th ey would like to see those shows if they came to Lin coln .

The Links didn't hit pay dirt again until eight minutes were gone in the second period when they drove from their own 43 for the touchdown. Betz made sizable gains through the Maroons' lines and finally went over from the 6. Hudkins added the extra point on a plunge.

With four minutes gone in the s econd half, "Big Bill" started :from the Central's 30 and ran to the 15. He then hit tackle for 10 to the 5. On the very next play he hit between guard and tackle to pay dirt. The point was no good. Maroons Test Pas.es. The Maroons tried the air lanes to put the Links in danger when Green threw a 45 yard pass to Havorka which put the Omahans on the Links' 20. A basketball pass was good to the 10. Then Ralph Leikam broke up the rally when he intercepted a pass in the end zone and the Links took over on their own 20. Betz then s et up the pins for the next touchdown, and Dick Hudkins sliced over from the 1yard line. Little "Speck" Klein, reserve guard, then split the uprights. The last t ouchdown came when Hoffman went in motion to the i'ight, Brown lateraled and Hoffman then threw a beautiful pa!IB to Peterson w ho raced 45 yards to score, almost :falling down on the 10. Central lost most of Its running attack when little Harvey Meehan injured his knee, but took to the air lanes to threaten three or four times. It was "Wild Bill" Betz who made around 10 to 12 yards on the average in 22 times car rying the ball. Ralph Leikam and Dick Hudkins looked good on defense while Ernie Lee and Harold Becker were standouts at tac kle. Game captains, Dick Lodge and Ed Scha umberg, stood out in the lines also.

Course In Salesmanship Is Offered

Sailor Comes Home To Learn His Family Thinks Him A Hero

Stores Need Student Help Prior to Thanksgiving, November 18-24, there will be a week's streamlined course called the "Victory Pre-Employment Course." This will include wartime selling, cashregister use, how to greet customers, how to make sales, close the sale and to make sale checks. Gift package wrapping will be included. Miss Fern Hubbard, head of distributive education will be in charge. One requirement of the course is that every student who enrolls must have a promise of a job. The Chamber of Commerce and the United States Employment Service have co-operated in making a survey of the need of the merchants in Lincoln. Students are needed for selling, stock WP:"k, delivery and wrapping packages. There is more need for student help now than ever before because of the war. Now, there is opportunity. to share world responsibil· lty in this world crisis. Merchants Use Students. Merchants a.re using part time co-operative trained students, and they say that they are well satisfied with the work of the students. Miss Fern Hubbard says, "Almost every day, I get a call from a downtown merchant asking for additional help. This speaks well for the distributive education course." Students in the distributive education course are beginning to equip 101 as a laboratory for their work. There will be a grocery unit which is completed and also a drug unit. About the middle of the year the equipment will be in place and ready for display. Given At Other Schools. At College View, 15 students have completed the pre-employment course satisfactorily. There are 34 students at Northeast high who are taking the course. This course will be completed Wednesday, November 17. Many inquiries have come to Miss Hubbard fr<'lY' the publicity given this ··ourse through t.he Sun· day paper last week.

All Pupils Enroll In Red Cross As a result of the Junior Red Cross membership drive last week, all home rooms reached 100 , percent in their membership on the first day when $85 was received. The collection was $24.47 on Friday and $13.75 on Monday making the total receipts $121.19. One cent for every pupil is used for the enrollment fee and the remainder will be used to buy materials to make articles for the Red Cross. Projects such as the bed jackets which were made for the Air Base patients last year will again be started by Junior Red Cross members.

Base Toured By Lincolnites Program at Air Base Extremely Educational According to Visitors Open house at the Lincoln Air Base, Armistice day, attracted 4,000 Lincoln teachers, students and their parents. The Base was open from 1 to 4 o'clock. A tour of the hangars revealed the different phases the mechanics go through in their training. Severn! types of pursuit planes were in the hangars to be worked upon. Other planes between the hangars were there for inspection by the visitors. Among the airplanes were P-38's. the famous "Thunderbolt ", P-47, P-40's and the big four-motored bombers which were not for inspection. There were classes going on most of the time with soldiers marching back and forth , a lways singing. The chemical warfare division at the base put on an exhibition demonstrating several types of incendiary bombs and different types of smoke screens and flares. As a climax to the day, Brig. Gen. Early Duncan reviewed a squadron, while fighter planes and bombers flew over the field.

\Vill Be Selected Photographers for the Links will be selected by tryouts which must be submitted by Monday, November 22, to room 302, according to a statement from the Links board following the meeting last week. Tryouts require that a list of each candidates' photographic equipment be submitted together ·with three samples of his photography. One example must be an indoor shot of high school interest usable for an annual. Shots that are suggested are: a scene in the cafeteria, work in a class room, any football plays, and an experiment in the chemistry laboratory. Becky Allen, student managing editor of the annual, was chosen secretary of the board to keep the minutes for the permanent record.

From the Hi-Point of View By HAL SCHWAMB "War Is Hell" ..• Sherman. One can readily agree with. General Sherman on his opinion of war by viewing the shattered ruins of the city of Naples through the eye of Life magazine in the current issue of that publication. The pictures show whole city blocks completely destroyed, railroad tracks twisted and torn, atreets in ruins, utilities wrecked and useless for months to come, the harbor filled with sunken ships surrounded by warehouses struck by wanton destruction. There is no glory to war when one has his home blown to bits, when one lies in his own blood on some distant battlefield, when one sees the charred bodies of his loved ones in the ruins of his city. Let no one boast of the glory of war, for there is none. Three Men and Peace. Three men met in Moscow recently and over the conference table around which they gathered the spectre of future generations was passing judgment on those procedings which were to spell peace or war for the world of tomorrow. Literally the fate of millions hung in the efforts of these three men to find a common ground of interest upon which to settle the differences· and desires of their respective countries. Britisher Anthony Eden, Russian Vyaeheslov Molotov, and American Cordell Hull will be remembered in the history books of tomorrow as the statesmen who laid the ground work for the great international organization

which must come about if the peoples of the world are to live in peace. Salute the Warriors of the Air! As our armies engage in bloody hand to hand fighting with the enemy in Italy, as they continue to seize Japanese territory in the Bouganville sector of the Pacific area of the war, and as the mighty Red Army of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics smashes at the Hitlerite hordes hourly having forced them now back to within only sixty miles of the Polish border, the bombing of Germany continues. Daily. planes of the Royal Air Force or the U. S. Eighth Air I<'orce send out squadrons of Fortresses and Liberators to whittle down the· production of the Reich by smashing their factory areas and their plants producing vital war materials.,,. These raids on Germany proper and on the occupied countries seem to have been forgotten momentarily by the public, probably because of their monotonous regularity. Remember, however, that our warriors of the sky, those who· lost their lives over Schweinfurt, when sixty Flying Fortresses were lost, those who carried destruction to the enemy at the great port city of Bremen shooting down 33 fighters in the engagement but losing 15 of their own planes, those warriors of the sky and their living comrades have carried, are carrying and will continue to carry the war to the very heart of Hitler's Europe.

Occasionally, groups of t he hospital staff go to Admiral Nimitz private beach, a wide sloping beach of white sand, to have picnics, swim in breakers, "that feel like pieces of wood slapping against you." On one special shore leave, Dr. Campbell took a trip to the famed Wakiki beach. Serving on the censor board offers a great deal of diversion, he told Shirley in his letters, and it is amusing to see how domestic quarrels arc carried back and forth overseas. A great many of the boys are homesick, as shown in their letters, and they welcome every t iny piece of news from home. Newlyweds, separated from each other after a few days or weeks, write happy and inspired letters almost every day. Sends Unusual Gifts Home, Pac k ages cont aining real Hawaiian perfume, white sharkskin bathing suits splashed with big red, yellow and green flowers, purses made of woven reeds, and hand painted flower blouses arrive on special occasions to Shirley. In one such package, her father sent some Japanese paper money one of t he sailors obtained in a battle and some wood from the wreckage of an enemy Jap ship. Also received were some beautiful shells picked up from numerous places Dr. Campbell had been in Hawaii. Before going to the navy hospital at Pearl Harbor, he and his family were living at Bremerton. Washington, near the navy yard. He has been in Pearl Harbor a year and two mont hs but thinks he may return to the states in the very near future.

Representatives Choose Thanksgiving Committee A committee to help with the Thanksgiving offering was chosen at the home room representative meeting last Wednesday, November 10. William Mann thanked those who helped as guides at Open House. Representatives were urged to bring in scrap in a report from the war committee by Helen Hummel.

he is a hero. Dismayed at this, he f inds out that the· reason for all this talk is the fact that they think he is the person who has inspired t he new hit song, "Keep The Guns A Poppin." But, Johnny hasn't been a hero, and has not, of course, inspired the words to this song. It is all a surprise to him when all t he girls of the town aged, 12 to 21, fall in love with him and prefer Johnny to his 16 . year old brother to whom grandmother refers as a "swing addict." Further complications arise in this boisterous comedy, when his mother's hat shop "goes on the rocks." Sherry Le.e, Johnny's favorite radio singer, seems interested in his "heroism" too, while Dee, h is sister, thinks her brother will prove advant ageous in her getting to be cheer leader at school. Her twin brother, Danny, who is 14, is at the age when he thinks it 's smart to scorn love, which is rather hard on the girls of that town, especially Katie. How Johnny solves the problem of being a false hero a n d why t he people think he is their hero, is unfolded in the cleverly written plot of the play.

Former Lincoln Student Is Back From Woodrow Wilson high school in Long Beach, California, comes Alfred Bradley, an llB. Moving . here on October 30. Alfred hasn't seen enough of Lincoln high to know if he likes it or not, but, of one thing he is certain, "Lincoln just can't compare wit h Long Beach." A patio surrounded by several buildings and spacious grounds make up the campus of Woodrow Wilson high school, which has about 1,200 students enrolled. Aviation courses along with preinduction courses which are similar to ROTC are offered there, which places this school high in war effort. James "Jim" Wilson, new entry from Hastings, is not new to Lincoln however, having lived here fifteen and a half years before living in Omaha six months and Hastings six months. Hastings high school is a junior and senior high school combined with three buildings on the campus. The three buildings are manual arts building, junior high and senior high buildings Some senior classes are held in the junior high building though. The school is proud of its sale of war stamps and bonds along with its Red Cross work.

JCL Members Here For Trip "It's so big," "How do they find their rooms," "Look at all the subjects they can take." These and many more such remarks were heard Thursday morning, November 4, around school when members of the Junior Civic League came to high school under the direction of Miss Lillian E ngle, of Everet j unior high. The thirty boys and girls were seventh graders from Irvjng, Belmont, Havelock, College View, Whittier and Everet. Their first trip, they found it very interesting. H. C. Mardis, principal, spoke to them about the opportunities and work here. He told of the different curriculums and subjects to be taken. The trip was high lighted by a sight seeing tour through the school guided by Miss Dorcas Weatherby. The boys were especially in terested in the shops and the work there, the gym being their next choice. The girls interests also centered around the shops, although interest in the cafeteria was great.

Chappell, judge of the supreme court, spoke to a double assembly on Armistice day, Thursday, November 11. J udge Chappell commented, "No doubt every American is saying this morning that we are facing a great crisis. Just how great w e probably don't know yet." "History will record this last quarter century as a tragic interlude. At its conception 25 years ago, w e prophesied the dawn of a new era, a world safe for democracy. No m ore war, but enduring peace," he said. Are You Speeding Up Victory?

safety or profit. J udge Chappell told as an example about a man he overheard talking down town recently. The man said that jobs may be scarce when the war's over but "we've got them where we want them now, and they're going to pay for it.'.' "Surely," added Judge Chappell, the finger of pity and shame should be pointed at this man." Judge Chappell continued t hat in this generation a new slogan "Education f or Vict ory" h as been adopted. This, in his opinion, applies t o victory over ourselves. H3 explained, "We must be assured t hat endur ing peace can never be obtained without victory over ourselves." In closing he said, "All over the world men are dying for us. \Ve must live for them because only the living can hola tugh tne torch of freedom ." Soldiers Provide Music. Two songs were sung by Pvt. Robert w. Mangold. S. Sgt. James Hutchison accompanied him on the p iano. The songs were "Pledge t o the Flag" by Albert Hay Malotte and "Ballad for Americans" by Earl Robinson. Both Pvt. Mangold and S. Sgt. H utchison are stationed at the Lincoln Air Base. Privat e Mangold was formerly stationed at Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis, Missouri. Before he was inducted into the army he lived in Columbus, Ohio. s. Sgt. Hutchison was transfered . to the Air Base here from Chanute Field, Illinois, and his home town is Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Private Mangold is an in. structor and S. Sgt. Hutchison is an inspector, The "Star Spangled Banner" was played while t he flag wa ved ending the assembly. After the "Star Spangled Banner" in t h e second assembly, it was 11 o'clock and a minute of silence was observed, ended by t aps played by George Ostermiller.

Orness Tells of Increasing Work Carl J. Orness, head of the trades preparatory department at L incoln high, on leave of absence to work for the United States civil service commission, finds that h is work has increased somewhat due to part of the staff serving in the armed forces and transfers of others to other government agencies. "In addition to construction of mechanics apt itu de types of test material," stated Mr. Orness , in a letter, "I now share responsibility for finding and placing civilian personnel in aviation positions as instructors, inspectors, flight supervisors, mechanics and other positions in aircraft manufacturing, airport services and flight t raining. Automotive and other ship instructors, industrial manufacturing specialists, technical experts for visual aid movie construction a nd dock or pier superintendents are typical examples of the variety of requests that pass over my desk." Washington seems just as crowded as when the Ornesses first arrived. In concluding Mr. Orness com· mented, "I miss t he Saturday vacations I had while at Lincoln high and t he cont acts w ith student s and faculty members. Greetings t o all of you and a p rofitable year for everyone at good old Lincoln high. "

Former Links Writes of U.S.N. Flight Training "I received the Lincoln high papers and I certainly appreciate them," writes John Bell Parkin, U. S. N., former L. H. S. athlete and graduate of June, 1942, in a letter to Art Parchen, junior. He is a ch ief petty officer in the Navy Air Cor ps and is stationed at Las Vegas, New Mexico. He enlisted and was called on June 15, 1943, aft er one year of study at the University of Nebraska. U pon completion of a four month course at Mount Vernon, Iowa , he was transferred to Las Vegas. I n Las Vegas he finally came to the t raining he liked best, flying. He was taken through the basic flying when he practiced 90 degree, 180 degree and 360 degree turns, take-offs, spins and landings. "My instructor a nd I " Johnnie recalls, "had been shooting takeoffs and landing for 30 minutes one day he asked me how I felt. I said 'I feel swell.' He said 'It's all yours,' and I opened the throt· tie and away I went. I climbed to 600 feet in a few seconds and looked over where my instructor sat. Gosh, what an empty feeling came t o me! I said, 'This is it, John boy,' and brought her down into a three point landing. Boy, was it fun !" W ith two boys assigned to each room, t h ey are provided with twin beds, separate desks, closets and dresser drawers.. Johnn ie writes, "It's been. really rough upstair s lately, but it 's good practice. I won't be an ensign until I complete 18 months of training."

Armistice Day Presents Impressive Scene of Youth Impressive is hardly the word for t he scene in the assembly on Armistice clay when the flag waved proudly as the "Star Spangled Baimer" was played. As every head tumed and watched Old Glot'y one could sense a feeling of pride in the heart of ever yoHc present. Even when the t ears welled in one 's eyes and chills ran up and down one's back it was not out of place because there were many who were ::;ensing the same experienee, the experience of being so truly grateful for being an American. ~\lthough almost 1,000 persons were there in the auditorium, one could have heard a pin drop. 1 es, it ~vas ll. beautiful sight; young Amcriea standing, ready, willing, and able to defeud its national anthem, its national symbol and everything that they stand for. Then. it was over and while there was a pause before the minute of silence was observed at 11 o'clock you looked arotmd and noticed the people around you. It was just as said in the song, " Ballad for Americans," earlier in the progrnrn; there were persons of almost all nationalities and 1·aces, each American in the fullest sense oi the . word. Now it was 11 o'clock·' twentv. f ive years ago the armistice was signed whieh ended the first world wide conflict. and now people were once again praying for peace. Some had their heads bowed rcYeren tlv others stood straight as a ram rod. Bnt n~ 'matter how they stood or looked they all had one thought foremost in their mind: "God <>rant that peace shall come and all our liovs '"'scattered over the world be home saJei\' onee •

Such are the thoughts, fer.lings and pra.vers of Americans today. \\i e cau 't be beaten when we have the will to win ; the will to stand up and fight and defend om· rights; the wil.l to watch with a confident and proud snule our flag, the flag of the United States of America wave gloriously; the will to make sure that always "'rhe Stai· :-\pangled Banner" in triumph shall 1'-ave, o'er th e- land of the free and the home of the bra\' e."

Whieh will it be 1 The youth of America mu~ t d~cide upon this because it will be the youth of Amenca that acts upon the decision in this matter. Louis Fischer, brilliant speaker at the N. S. E. A., pointed out the utter futility of the demolition of these countries, when he stated that the enemies of America's future are unknown now just as Japan as an enemy was unknown in 1918. The only way to obtain a world wide peace in his opinion is to encourage the people to set up democracies in all countries, in that way securing the future from another war. Hmrnver, the only way America can make these democracies work is by setting a good example for the rest of the world.

Planes Almost Human To Men Who Fly Them New ly arrived senior, Richard Crossett from Little Rock, Arkans as, whose father, Major Crossett, is a chaplain at the Lincoln Air Base says, "Some people think of an airplane as jus.t a mass of metal with no soul or feeling, but to the men who !ly . and die in them they are something a lmost human. I noticed this fact while at the Lin coln Air Base." "Pilots and crew know every inch of tl1eir ship," Richard continued, "and all her own peculiarit ies and habits. They nurse her along when in trouble and when she lands the mechanics put her in shape again. The men become so attached to their ship they paint a: name on the big olive-drab side. Sometimes it is named for a 'best girl,' or something per~ taining to their native state, and more often a humorous name thought u p by t he aew. In all they are very fond of t heir plane and become hurt when a layman r efers to the plane as 'it.' To them the bomber is a 'big g ir l,' and after helping them over so many miles safely, has b ecome very human." "One example of "Amer ican ability was seen in the sky over Lincoln," Richard stated further, "Ten Army bombers were flying in combat formation. They were piloted by skilled hands long trained in the carrying out of their duty. Their wings were unwavering and the formation moved a s one. The sleekness yet sturdiness of the aircraft was clearly visible, the design conceived by American engineers and built by American hands. Inside each bomber were at least ten men, ever yone with an assigned task. and f11Dy r;unfident that he could carry it out. The pilot, bombardier , radioman, navigator, engineer, and gunners, all trained to do their jobs. Each one probably had ten or twelve months training behind him before being assigned to a squadron. This truly showed what America can do if it has to be done."

'Maizi' Is Guest Of Physiology And First Aid Groups Let me touch her' Is she real ? Where did you get her? Questions, questions, nothing but questions can be heard in the vicinity of 327 where a little "gal" called "Maizi" is attending all physiology and first aid classes. This "Maizi" is one popular character even tho' she is as thin as bones, (ach ! what goes ?) and has about as much expression on her face u a skeleton, (mmmm What say?) Well, to tell t he t ruth, that's ju:rt what "Maizi" is-a real skeleton. Lincoln high purchased "Maizi" four years ago for the neat sum Of $125. The physiology classes voted on what they would call her, an d the name Maizi won. After she arrived there was somewhat of a debate as to whether the name was good enough ; so everyone voted again. (More fun !) "Maizi,'' as if you didn't know, won again. "Maizi" has a rival 'tis stated. by the name of " Oscarina," but most say that she is no rival for "Maizi'.' since "Oscarina' is missing a hand and a leg. It m ust be taken into consideration, however, that "Oscarina" is some 50 years old, w hile "Mai zi" is - well, younger. The exact age of "Maizi"' is not known-she's just another "skeleton in a closet."

Open Forum To Whom It May Concern: The study of people is perhaps one of prime importance to all. To gain this knowledge one must first have t he opportunity. This opportunity:. is not offered to the Lincoln high student t oday and due to conditions we all cannot take psychology in univ ersity. The point I hav e in mind is to offer elementary psychology to the seniors--purely as a voluntary course. I feel sure if those in responsible positions \\ill give t his matter some thought, they too can see my logic. Hite Grainger.

Concentration Cripples Brain Permanently? Concentra te! Concentrate! All the time the t eacher says concentrate. Do you know what happen:i when you concentrate? The inner cells of the outer shell of the bottom p ipe of the upper part of the low er head hit against the outer cells of the inner shell of the top pipe of the lower part of the head causing a compact which hurts the brain of an average person. Is this bad! Why it is liable t o cause a minor concussion of t he cerebellum which puts blood on the brain, cau!ling it to get soggy, slowing it down to t he point where it no longer can be used. When t he brain cannot be used, a person cannot act, speak, or think. So be careful! Never concentrate, as it m ay leave you crippled for !if~. Now t hat I have finished this little brainstorm I hope that I have made myself clear. "I have, .you say." WELL good, now explain it to me.

Between the Book Ends BY MABLE WEST.

"The Lady and the Lions." A truly thrilling and adventuous story is one told by Bess K ennedy of her experiences while working for Uncle Sam's Biological Survey on the ranches of Texas. She t raps a n d shoots mountain lions, bob cats, coyotes, jovelinas and ocelots who pr ey upon helpless cattle and sheep. She caught the largest lion received by the bureau, up to the year 1938, which weighed when . dressed, 186 pounds, and measured eight feet, ten inches. During that year she ranked fourth among the 120 trappers in Texas. Often she looked deat h in the face, as a lion may drag a trap hundreds of yards into thick brush. On these occasions s he not only had to keep a close wa tch for the lion, but also be on the lookout for diamond back rattle sna kes which were common. The work of a trapper is not only that of thrills. Much of it is hard labor. such as setting and resetting heavy traps for which holes must sometimes be dug in soil that seems like rock and skinning the captured animals. Bes ides all this she kept house for her husband · and daughter in a tent which, on a moment's notice, may be moved many miles. A town was visited once a month for fun and supplies. The "Lady and The Lions" is educational as w ell as slightly "hair-raising" when the reader looks into the green, anbry eyes of a lion not five feet away.

IFrom The Files I One year ago seniors chose " Every Family Has One" for their s enior play. R. O. T. C. drilled messengers at the second m eet ing of the mess engers on November 11.

Five years ago seniors selected rose and blue for their class colors. The student counc il decided to have show cases built in front of 210 and 211 in wh ich to display Lincoln high's trophies. Ten years ago the University of Nebraska ·was host t o t he Nebraska high school press associa tion. B ob Wadhams and Kathryn Werner represented L. H . S. Twenty-five years ago the Mu mmers gave the pla y " You Never Can Tell." Special programs, contests, plays a nd discussions on the value of forcef ul speech were held during "Better E nglish Week.''

"Now let's see what is her name ? It 's S hakespearean . . .. Jessica? No that's not it !" Every day in a certain history c lass of L. H . S. a bewildered teach er ponders over the question above. T his part icu lar g ir l, gett ing t ired of be ing called everything but her r ightful name, decided to help the teacher remem ber it. This explains w hy she wa lked into the classroom with a s ign pinned on her which read J- u-1- i-e-t. This clever piece of artwork wasn't noticed until at the end of th e per iod, the teacher called on the pupil a nd started to go throug h the old routine-" W hat is her name ?" Just t hen the s ign caught he r eye a nd she had no trouble remembering. Now everything is a ll rig ht and the class runs a long smoothly.

Names Mean 'Proud Chief And 'Pleasant' "What' s In a Name? " a book t hat explains t he original of ev· erybody's f irst name, caused Mrs. Frances Rein to have the list ot home room names typed and their meanings. She passed it a round t he room and the students saw wha t their names meant. Sin ce there are three boys with the name Don in 101 she can call them "Proud chief ." Dick Lodge could be called "Stern king" while Harold Wagey·s name means "Leader of the army." W ith a ll of these chiefs and leaders in the home room there is plenty of a ctivity going on in 101. l~ cnn~ U1

The girl's names s how that t hey are sweet, tearful and pleasant. There are two little darlings in the r oom, "pur e a nd beautifuleyed" wh ich have the name Kathleen . The name Janet and Jean have the same meaning, "The Lord's Grace." J oyce sou nds so sweet, but it really means "sportive and viva· cious. " While Mary ·Lou means "distressed a nd tearful," the meaning doesn 't exactly ring true as most of the Mary L ou's in t his school are happy and gay. Ruth means, "a vision ot beauty" and even though many girls w ith t h e name "Ruth" dislike t heir name, it really has a pretty meaning. Pleasant, is the meaning for Evelyn a nd the name does have a pleasant sound. All of the students names in 101 are not mentioned, but the names mentioned i.mply the · varied per• sonalities of 101.

To t~·st the mus ic a ppreciation of the students , Hugh T . Rangele r g ave a music talent test recently to each of his choms classes. These tests were given chiefly to show the students that there is a wide variety in ability to hear the different qualities in the six different divisions which include pitch, rhythm, loudness. tonal memory, t one qualities and time. As was expected. the majority of pupils scored around average · grades. I<,ew s cored superior and excellent grades. but the number might have been considerably higher if disturbances had not occuned. ''These," said Mr. Rangeler, "are Seashore tests of mus ical talent. which embody t ests on six different qualifications necessary for musicianship. Thes e qualifications, however, are a lso requisite to other plrnses of life a nd as such the findini;s of the tests are valuable to people in other ways besides musical w ays." "Mus ically speakin g ," Mr. Rangeler co!ltinued, "the s ense of pitch is a necessa ry requisite for violin play ing. It is said that in the last war Fritz Kreisler, one of the grea t musicians of the world, could tell when a shell had reached its peak by merely list ening to the change in pitch tha t the sound of the s h ell m a de a nd was able, b ecause of that, to protect his m en . Various qua lifications tested a re

necessary to various types of musical' training ; a good pianist must have a good sense of loudness. It's not so necessary to have a keen sense of pitch, but he also should have such musical talents as se nse of time and rhythm. because these qualities are widely used in the playing of the piano.'' A very desirable qualification for the singer is one of tonal memory, while some of the oGher qualifications tested are not so important to the singer. Any musician should have a fair feeling for rhythm. but the pianist and drummer should have a very strong sense. Mr. Rangeler stated that it was rather peculiar to note that the girls, who are supposed to be more rhythmical than boys, often fall down in the rhythm division. The most important qualification is pitch discrimination and ' the one which is slighted the most by music t ea chers and schools is the sense of tone quality and time . H e hasn' t run a cross any outstanding pupils, for though some are very good in one or two things, they fall down a little on other divisions. Mr. Rang·elcr concluded by say· ing that if a. pupil has other desirable qua liti,es, such as a good p ersona lity, and friendlines s, plus these qualities , he · would have a good ch a.nee at succee ding in serious music study.

Prospects Good For Approaching Basketball Season One Returning Letter1nan; 14 Reserve Boys When the Lincoln high basketeers start practicing on the ·whittier maples, Coach Lyle ·weyand will have only one returning letterman to build his team around. Rodney Cox, who filled in Don M cArthm.. s shoes when necessary last season, will be at the center post. Ralph Leikam, who played a few games last year and dropped may be out to make this year's starting five at one of the guard spots. Fourteen boys will be up from Coach Chuck Worrall's r eserve 11quad. Dick Hudkins and Alex Fink, two scrappy forwards, will be out after tbe forwl'rcl po~itions.

They are U:e sla1 ting halfbacks on

the football eleven. Bill Betz and Loren "Whitey" Colwell will ti·y to grab the guard positions. Harry Meginnis, a fast forward · with a good basket eye, was one of the starting forwards on the reserve team until he dropped. Harry will be around for varsity competition. Don Bergquist, guard, also dropped the reserve clan last scason 4 Danny Hergert, Gayle Lebsock, and Rex King held down the various center pos(s and will be battling for the varsity pivot post along with letterman Cox. Dale McCracken, who suffered a broken collarbone against the Crete rcser~e midw ay last season, wm be battling for a guard spot. Herb McCulla and Phil Oxley are the other two forwards up from the reserve quintet. "Spec" Klein and Johnny Fiala, two scrappy guards, will be after a starting assignment. Klein and Oxley saw a gcrat deal of action on the reserves. "Ox" started on the varsity last season, but was cut to the reserves. Dick Lodge, nifty starting guard on last year's five, will not be available because of graduation.

They' re the rage!

Boys who deserve credit are the ones who went out night after night ·for reserve football w ithout a chance in sight. Of these Coach Charles Worrall would like to show his appreciation t o 24 boys. In the line, Bobbie Bartlett, sophomore, is probably one of the coaches' best ends in two years. At tackle, Dick B oettcher ·was given credit for making up in the lack of size by speed and aggressiveness. Harold "Huck" Egger gained credit by being the most aggressive. In the backfield, "Big Dick" Severs leads the list, followed closely by "Bud" Gerla ch. Dick ran the fastest 75 yards of any man on the Reservers squad, not bad for 185 pounds. "Bud" played good ball against the Varsity in their annual game. The coach also stated that many other than t hese 24 d eserve credit for p laying good football a nd coming out night after night. Following is a list of the 24 boys; First Team. Left End-George Lee, Jr. Left Tackle- D ick Boettcher, Jr. Left Guard--Harold Egger, Jr. Center- Jack Andrews, Jr. Right Guard-Norval Emery, Jr. Right Tackle-Bill Rolfsmeyer, Soph.

Mathematics ls Essential To Men In Air Corps

Mathematics is the mos t important factor t o t he safety of the plane and it s crew, a ccording to Pfc. Harold W . Cook, '42, now stationed at the Amarillo A i r Field, Amarillo, Texas. "Everything that I have learned has been u sed at one time or another," he w rites. "I have f ound that math is the most important thing to know . When I graduate I will be sent to gunnery. From there I w ill be the crew chief of a B-17 flying fortress a nd operate the topgun turret bthind the p ilot. My mos t important job, howeve r , will be to sit at my d esk next to the radio operator continually operating a slide r ule, especially when dropping bombs ." The bomber or as far as that g oes, any airplane is very sensitive as to weight and location. The crew members are stationed accordingly. It will be Cook's job to f igure out whe ther one man may leave his stat ion to talk to another. Just one man shifting his weight just one foot at th e wrong time could mean death to the entire crew. Also, when the bombs are dropped, the crew has to move to a d ifferent position to rebalance the plane. He must figure out just exactly where they should move and at what time. "You will recall a statement you said in class one day. I remember it very w e ll." h<' ·,.,,-rit es his former mathematics teacher, "You said algebra and geometry weren't taught merely for the purpose of making math easier, but also to d evelop reasoning power, quick and clear thinking. B oy, you never made a truer statement! There are very few things that don't require at least a lit tle knowledge of math. By 'HOOK' LAUER.

Thanksgiving Traditions Suspended; Senior Play, Naval Officer Thought .. and Feeling of Day Remain Discusses 'Johnny,' ., Is Comedy V-5 Program .

Thanksgiving

was

set

apart as a legal holiday for the giving of thanks in 1864. The last Thursday of November

Flight Training Interests Boys Addressing senior boys in a first period special assembly Thursday, Nov.ember 18, Lieutenant R. N. Larson of the' Office of Naval Procurement at Des Moines, Iowa, explained the qualifications · and advantages of the Navy V-~ training program in naval aviation. Lieutenant Larson urged boys Who can qualify. to enter the Navy V-5 training program as naval aviation cadets, this phase of naval training having been i·eopened November 1. Boys interested in this program must be 17 years old and be graduated from high school by May or June. There is also a limited chance for boys from 18 to 26 in V-5, also high achoo! graduates.

pointed by the President, but as far back as 1621, we know that the courageous pilgrims had set aside a day for prayer and praise. Since that time, Thanksgiving Day has been observed by all in America; celebrating not only with thanks, but also with goldenbrown, roasted turkey stuffed with the family's favorite dressing, candied sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and all the other delicacies. This year Thanksgiving for some will be anything but the family affair that it has. been in the past. It will serve as. another means by which to acquaint Lincoln with New York, Chicago, Tampa, Jacksonville, and many other cities, especially in the east and south. Soldiers stationed far away from home on Thanksgiving will be moving in on Lincoln residents

for this cherished American holiday. Some of these boys, many from out of this nation, who have never experienced the American Thanksgiving, will make up a large part of Lincoln guests. France, Mexico, Brazil-all these countries and probably many more wil! be represented in Lincoln homes on Thursday. Many others will not have turkey and all the trimmings and from many tables there will be one or more of t he family missing. This year mingled among our thanks to God, there will be prayers for help , strength, and encouragement for us on the home front and our fathers and brothers on the battle fronts. ",For ·remembrance of my dear _brother, do you know what I'm doing to do with that w ishbone,'' says one girl. " When it is good and dry I'm going to pin it . on my · bedroom wall just below Ted's picture. It will make a most perfect V! And when Te.d comes home we can wish on it that he has helped win peace forever."

Navy Needs "All·Around Men."

Emphasizing the fact that the Navy is in need of "many good all-around men," Lieutenant. Lar11on .stressed the need of a high achoo! education as a basic qualification, stating that boys who do not qualify in this 'r espect will be aent back to finish their schooling before they may be allowed to proceed further.

Class Hears City Editor

Centering his talk mainly around the · V-5 program which is flight training, Lieutenant Larson also pointed out the possibilities for boys in V-12, naval college program for officers and V-6, constituting the status of enlisted men in the Navy.

"Fairness, good judgment, alertness, accuracy and speed are qualities which make up a good reporter." These were the words of Larry A. Becker, city editor of the Lincoln Star, as he addressed Miss Sarah T, Muir's first period newswriting class, Thursday. Mr. Becker stated that the best 11tories of the year will break when you least expect one. When asked about the conflict between radio and the . press he stated that one listening to the radio cannot grasp the details as well as a reader of a newspaper. "A person will always look at the printed story !Mt to understand the · story completely. People often misunderstand the announcer." "Accuracy is one of the determining factors in the. iiuccess of Any newspaper. Nam<)i<, iniUals

Steps in Navy V·5 Program.

No enlistee will be called to active duty for flight training before reaching his eighteenth birthday; however, he may be called to preliminary active duty at Naval Air Stations to work with ground crews. This phase of training is known as "Tarmac" duty and the enlistee ranks as a Seaman Second Class V-5, receiving $54 per month with uniforms, meals and lodging.

when f!i~"t_ tt...... ;-~~ ;_.............. 1:.?.-1-,i:::, P.n-· ustees are transferred to the etatus of Aviation Cadet V-5 and receive $75 per month, uniforms, lodging, food, medical and dental care also $10,000 in life insurance. This training lasts approximately 16 months. Flight Training Stages.

Five basic stages must be passed during flight training including academic, military and physical preparatory training at an accredited col~ege lasting 15 weeks; 12 weeks of ground school l!!Ubjects and 50 hours of flight training at a War Training School located at such colleges as· the ones in Albert Lea, Minnesota; Le Mars, Iowa; Dubuque, Iowa; North Platte, Nebraska; Chadron, Nebraska, and many others; an 11-week course. on physical education and groun(i school subjects constituting pre-flight training such as that at the University of Iowa; Primary Flight Training at a Naval Air Station which includes flying Navy Trainers and studying ground school subjects for from 11 to H weeks and Intermediate Flight Training at the Naval Air Stations a.t Pensacola, Florida, or Corpus Christi, Texas, which lasts from H to 16 weeks. and includes flying all types of Navy planes and studying of ground school subjects. Upon completion of training at Pensacola or Corpus Christi, the cadet will receive his Navy Wings and a commission either as an Ensign in the United States Naval Reserve, or as a Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps Reserve. .All Marine flyers go through Naval Aviation Training. The pay of a commissioned officer will start at approximately $290 per month. Other Qualifications.

Applicants must also qualify in regard to certain physical requirement.s which include: height, 6 feet 6 inches to 6 feet; weight proportional to height; eyes testing perfect with or without glasses; eighteen sound teeth; hearing, ability to hear a whispered word at 15 feet; good color perception; and pulse and blood must be normal. If the applicant's papers are in order he will be called to Omaha, Nebraska, for a preliminary physical and mental test. If these are passed satisfactorily, he will be sent direct to Kansas City, Missouri, to complete the physical examination and enlistment. All of this traveling is at government expense and if the applicant fails to qualify he will return home at· government expense.

There are two types of pictures received from overseas and those are the wirephoto and. those flown on bombers direct. The wirephoto has two overseas agencies, one in North Africa and another in London. All pictures flown over on bombers are released by the Army and Navy, A wirephoto can be distinguished from any Army or Navy picture because it is more blurred. Mr. Becker described a typical day of the city editor. He also mentioned some of the many former Lincoln high school students who have joined the staffs of the Lincoln newspapers.

Pro1nises to Be Entertaining "This is a picture of Johnny in his cowboy su it and oh, look at this one!" Thus started the Thursday rehearsal for the senior play "Johnny," to be given December 10 and 11. J ohnny's admirers in this part seem to be grandmother, and Dee, who is Johnny's younger i;ister. But· why all of this sudden admiration for Johnny? The answer to this question is cleverly unfolded in the plot of the play when Johnny is found to be a false hero. All of the relatives in town plus many neighbors including Mary Dye, Lois Mae Hefley and Sally Stebbins are all deeply engrossed in the sailor boy when it is thought that he is the inspiration for a h it tune. "Glug and double glug" appear to be some of Bill Mann' s prize lines of the play. Jack Holbrook, who is the "hep cat" of the play, keeps the play going (and grandmother too) with his latest jive talk and dance ( ? J step s. So the rehearsal went on, with· Van Westover, Roberta Chadderdon and Beverly Uhlir figuring in the plot. Jackie Gc>rdon is also an important character in the play, especially to Johnny.

Hi-Point of View

BY HAL SCHWAMB. Victory , , • With Air Power.

\·V ar became not only a terible, but a gruesome and horrifying thing with the advent of. aviation. Bombing h as now taken its place among the other weapons of man as a killer in the first degree. As one views the Disney production, "Victory Thrugh Air P owcr,"one wonders why shuch a great invention as the airplane had to be turned· into such a terrible instrument of destr uction, when it m ight, and let us hope it still may be, a great invention for the betterment Of mankind. DeServesky in h is book, "Victory Through Air P ower, " and in this simple explanation in cartoonfilm form; reiterates the view point h eld by many tha t Germany and Japan can b e knocked out o fthe war by the use of long range bombers.. carrying gigantic bomb loads and capable of protecting themselves from enemy fig hters. Certainly such a plan, a plan which would mean t he a bandonment of our present island-toisland fighting in the Pacific and our exhausting hand-to-hand battle with t he Germans in Italian mud, is worth careful consideration by the high command. World Rumbling in the Land of Peace.

As Allied armies all over the globe roll back the forces of Nazism and Shintoism, a ne w problem arises in the Allied camp, that of what a ttitude is to be taken toward the great empires within and without t he United Nations. Winston -Churchill's statement early in t he war and repeated only recently to the effect that he did not become Prime Minister of Great Britain " to bring about the dissolution of the British Empire," has further added to the comple.x ity of the problem. Such a problem exists at all mainly because peoples that are .free and independent cannot stand to see others beaten down and subjected by "mot her'' countries for economic reasons, cannot stand to see peoples held in slavery by great powers after they have given their sons for the ideal of liberty and justice tl;i all, for the ideals of the great Atlantic cnarter. Lebanon, one of the several tiny nations in the Middle East, came into the world spotlight last wee_k and remains in world focus purely because it is a testing g r ound for forces engaged in solving this problem.

As one reads and sees pictures of the atrocities which have been and are being committed daily by the lords of Ger many and the fanatics o.f the Empire of the Rising Sun, one wonders what sort of psychology is present in men that can distort and wither their minds and ethics to such a great degree. It is hard to im agine men burying other men alive a s the Japanese do when they a re m olested by guerillas or sabotage, thinking they are quelling the bravery of the rest, but actually fanning it into a new frenzy. Stories of the German mass murder of the .Jews by gu.nfire in front of their own graves, by inj ecting . air b ubles into their veins, by star v ation in cramped quarters, by suffocation in "sweat boxes" in ··c oncentration camps, by poisoning candy distr ibuted to starving children, are alm ost beyond human belief.

Tuberculosis associations , supported by Christm a s seals, finance an active year round campaign: tuberculosis eradication w ith health education, tuberculin· test ing, x-ray examination followup and public health nursing service. These tuberculosis associations work for the eradication of tuberculosis by finding the sick, treating the patient, preventing the spread of the disease to others, restorlng the pat ient's earning power, and keeping the family from falling to pieces.

Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof t hat they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are ''n!leen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise in· side, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strong est men that ever lived, could tear apart.

The Christmas seal for this year was designed by Andre Dugo, who said about the seal in a letter to the National Tuberculosis association, "I wanted to show a happy, healt hy child (and finally that is the aim of your association ) who· believes in miracles in fairy t ales, in goodness, in Santa Claus, in the spirit of Christmas. And if I think t hat the seal will reach eventually some of the boys far away from home-in jungles, in deserts, on the seas, and will remin d them of little sisters at home and past gay Christmases, a n d will make them smile a little --'-then I can't help feeling very proud and happy." Christmas seals a re one way of showing persons in the service that Americans are not only backing the attack against foreign enemies . but backing the attack against disease as well. The tuberculosis associations report that wars have always brought an increase in t ubercu losis, the one preventable disease which picks victims in the . prime of life. They also say that th.e health of men and women at home must be safeguarded because tuberculosis causes· an enormous waste of manpower a t _a time when we can least afford it.

"'Eastern advertising is as different as day and night from western advertising," explained Mrs. J . B. Tackett, formerly Erma Tyrell, '43, when she spoke before the art classes of Miss Helen Wilson and Miss Gladys Dana on Friday, December 3. Eastern art is more conservative than western art, with the western showing more playclothes. Before leaving for California in June, Mrs. Tackett was employed in advertising and window display work by several Lincoln firms. Upon arriving in California she was employed by a department store where she worked for several months. In her work, there are constant deadlines to meet on every drawing and they must be done according to the ideas of the store. Thousands of dollars are spent every month on supplies for the advertising department and every type needed are obtained. One advertisement, drawn by Mrs. Tackett has been published in the Retail Advertising Weekly as the best advertisement of the week. The process of engraving the advertisements is that the drawing is placed before a camera, photographed, and then an engraver's proof is made. "Such responsibility is placed in the hands of the engraver that he can either make or break you by the proofs he turns out," said Mrs. Tackett. Mrs. Tackett had many interesting drawings to show of her work.

Lois Jean Way, Now A Member Of U.S. Waves Lois Jean Way, S 2/ c, '41, a former member of the Advocate Staff is now in the Waves at Miami university in Oxford, Ohio. Lois J ean enlisted August 24, 1943, because she felt that it would mean one more sailor released for active duty or one more father to stay with his family. She also feels that it is a fine advantage for obtaining furthtr education in a field she is interested in. "We wtnt tr. t iit: Bronx, New York City, fo1· om· 'boot· training •.m a troop trnin ,,·hich w as so crowded we didn't get much sleep," Lois said, "but it was lots of fun." When they were in the Bronx they had classes on aircraft and ship identification, naval customs and courtesies, naval organization, drill and physical fitness. At Miami they have eight hours of classes, four hours of code and one hour each of theory, procedure, typing and physical fitness. "Here at Miami we arise at the bugle. at six each morning and fix our rooms for daily inspection. Then our classes and we turn in at 9 :45. and believe me, we are ready for it," she declared. They have a r ecreation hall, with ping pong tables, juke box, pin ball bowling and a piano. They are quite near to Dayton and Cincinnati so they take the bus in Saturday and return Sunciay evening. "There are also girl Marines her e, Navy men t a king radio training, large numbers of V-5 and V-12 men, and a Navy cook and baker's school. The latter accounts for the wonderful food we have," said Lois. "And I sur~ love it here.

Guard Your Girl And Your Health; Enlist in Marines As you are slowly walking down the main street of your town trying to decide how to spend the evening, two big buses drive up. A big man steps from the first one and as other men pour out shouts, "All right men; the t own's all yours." One hundred men immediately dash for the nearest girl (which unluckily is on the other side of you ). After you pick yourself up an hour later and see the men parading the streets with girls on both arms, you come to the conclusion that "the Marines have landed and have the situation well in hand." You decide the best way to forget what happened to you is to go to a movie. After you are comfortably seated, a Marine on your left starts singing love songs while one on your right is talking baby talk to his girl. A line of six Marines in front of you insist on standing up and in answer to your meek, "Down· in front," yell back, "Pipe down, civee, or I'll break your neck in t en places."

'Stardust' Is Favorite Song of Cadet From Brazil; Has 65 Hours 'Upstairs' Having listened to Cadet Varese Horta of Brazil tell about his native country, it is hard to tell much difference between the two Americas. Cadet Horta, with a few other Brazilian cadets came to Lincoln recently from Corsicana , Te-. He is tall, dark and very handsome, twenty years old and his home is in Barrestos. Estado de Sao Paulo. Brazil. People in t he central part of Brazil observe the same customs as do the people of the United States. Brazil has 48,000,000 people and its capital city is Rio de Janeiro. It has sent 50,000 men to the front and also many boys who qualified were sent to the United States to st udy aviation navigation and to be bombardiers. Cadet Horta has had 65 hours in the air in Corsicana and came through here enroute to study to be a bombardier. Varese's father is a rancher in Brazil. He has a contract with a packing company in the United States and sends cattle at the rate of 100 head a week to this company. Varese has two brothers, one who is 15 years old and the other. two, and a sister, nine years old. In Brazil the stucients live a t the high school and their schedule is very different from ours. They get up at 6 a. m. and go to church. Then they have breakfast and school begin at 8:00 and

Latin American Exhibit On Display Is Colorful Books, maps, charts, photographs and pamphlets on South and Central America are now displayed in the case opposite the office, in the library, and in . room 135. Th is is one of 150 traveling exhibits of our neighbor republics sent out by the United States office of education. Also displayed are some al paca slippers, an Andean Indian cap and a pair of maracas among other things. This is a colorful and picturesque exhibit, .besides being educational. It should be of interest to everyone, but especially those taking Spanish.

"Three .Men In a Boat" ( to say noth ing of the do~) by JeromP Kla pka Jerome offers something so entirely different in humor, it shouldn't be missed. The story concerns three Englishmen who are somewhat t ired of the hum-drum of everyday life and decide to take to the sea. The narrator of the story is one of the most witty Londoners in a long time, as he tells of the trip from the time of the departure unt il the point of embarkation, r elating amusing anecdotes along the way. Montmorency is an important "character" of the book, even though he is just a dog. His idea of "life" as the author puts it, is to hang about a stable, and collect a gang of the most disreput able dogs to be found in the t own, and lead t hem out to march round the slums to fight other disrepuable dogs.

lasts until 8:00 in the evening witll time off for dinner and lunch. They take many more 'periods of language than in our country and high school lasts for five years. They take t wo years college preparatory and six years in university. Cadet Horta was studying to be a physician and has t ak en two years t oward his degree, After the war he plans to continue his studies. The high school is "ten hours" from their home. They do not mark off dist ances in miles as we do, but in kil<ime• ters. One of the most popular a muse• ments is the movies. They a lso dance the rhumba, samba, la conga. and the fox-trot. His favorite song is "Stardust" and another popular song is "In the Mood." Cadet Horta enlisted in F ebruary and he came to the United States on June 23, 1943. Before he came, he had t o take an English examination and a physical examination. As· all of Brazil speaks P ortuguese and no English, in six months he has learned to speak well. He added, "It is still ha rd for me to put into words what I really mean but in association witO. Americans, I am learning fast," and concluded, "The United States is a very nice country and the people are the most friendly r have ever met."

Lincoln's Early History Found Very · Interesting "Yes, early history of Lincoln very interesting," a r ecent interview with Mrs. Ruth Dodge revealed. Mrs. Dodge is ths author of a thesis on the early history of Lincoln. The thesis, written as partial fu lfillment of requirements for a master 's de· gree in history, was complet ed in 1934. Two year s were spent in collecting the material during which time she went through every Lin• coin newspaper from 1867 t o 18871 and r ead every city council report, which was written in long hand, for the same period of time. One summer of typewriting was taken to write the 242-page thesis. "The thesis is mainly on gov• ernmental problems," she stated, "and many colorful events are related. The fight on the type of fire engine and hose to be used by the fire department w a s ve ry interesting, as was the passing of w as

v r ditl Ul\Ct'S . ''

Many p1·oblems that we take for granted all ha d to be dealt with in the early days of Lincoln, as is shown in the study. The type of street ligh':.s to be used was one of t hese problems, since lights were considered a luxury. Four copies of the thesis, which are now in book fonn, and are considered authoritative on· the early history of the city of Lincoln, have been made.. One of these copies is kept by Mrs. Dodge while the other three ar e at the University of Nebraska, one in t he university library, one in the history department and the other in the graduate office. The University of Wisconsin offered Mrs. Dodge a fellowship to work the thesis into a doctor's dissertation, by writing t he early history of three more cities, but she refused this offer.

Former Student, Seiffert, Receives A Commemlation Marvin Francis Seiffert, Machinist's Mate Second Class, who left Lincoln high school in December of 1937 to enlist in the Navy has received a commendation from his commanding officer, for service. It reads : 'For creditable performance of duty as a member of the Engineer's Foree of t he United States Ship Buchanan f rom commissioning, 21 Ma rch, 1942, to 15 September , 1943. Operating cont inuously in an active combat area under difficult and dangerous conditions, the Buchanan successfully engaged the enemy on seven occasions and st eamed over one hundred thousand miles without a breakdown of the Engineering Plant. "Machinist's Mate Seiffert's conduct under fire a t his battle station as Loader on a heavy machine gun was most creditable on each occasion of act ion. "The automatic weapons of the Bucha nan were credited with having shot down not less than five enemy heavy torpedo bombers. Seitfert 's performance of dut y as a machinist 's ma t e in the Forward Engineer room contributed most materially to maintaining Bucha nan's high standards of engineering efficiency and r eliability."

Seven Boys

Get Diplomas For Riflery Marksn1anship Stressed Today Rifle club certificates have been issued to the fifth class of 1943, seven of whom are Lincoln high school pupils. These are: James Pettit, Dale Peate, Sanford Finkelstein, Gregory Elias, Richard Drbal, William B ecker and Sidney Abbott. This is a r esult of many hours of instruction by members of the club. Training courses will continue next year and as long as there is a desire for the instruction among men of military· age, according to club officers. History has shown that a nation of marksmen is a prepared nation. The current successes in Russia are due in no small part to the skill of their people in the handling of the weapons. Many cities in Russia have rifle ranges in their down town districts and civilians, young and old, avail themselves of this opportunity to develop their ability to shoot. Before the war an increasing number of civilians, men and women, each y ear interested themselves in competitive marksmanship and as a r esult the National Matches at Camp P erry had become one of the big annual sport events. With thousands of men returning to civilian life after the war, it is expected that their continued interest in "shooting irons" will make this sport increas ingly popular.

Choir To Present Holiday Programs The choir participated in the program entitled "New Citizem; of Foreign Birth" w hich was given at the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday, December 7.

Packages Should Be l\Iailed Early "All Christmas packages and cards to the armed forces as well as t o civilians should be mailed by D ecember 10," Postmaster J erner r ecen tly stated. According t o Mr. J erner a tag may be glued on the outside of the parcel so as to notify the r eceiver t hat it is a Christmas package. The postmaster a lso advised that mail b e sent first class ( three cents postage) as the one and one-half cent postage does not receive directory ser vice. Mr. Jerner said tha t many hig-h school boys will h'l.ve a chance to Wc• r k ~.L th e Po~t Office. espf·c ial l y in tile j:Jdlct; post department, during the Christmas rush. This is nei:essary, for as he said. "A very large number of the personnel have been taken into the armed forces and th~se people must be replaced by those who are not so efficient." When asked about the experien ce pupils ga in w ho work at the post office, the postmaster explained that he believes that it teaches the boys principles of dependability and h ow to carry out specific assignments. "B;~cause of the war," Mr. J erner decla red, "the zoning plan was made necessary because of loss of experienced people and will help in the primary distribution of the m a il."

"I enjoy reading about t he n orth in travel books," she explained, and went on. " I don 't even get to r ead one book a week which shows t hat there must be quite a bit of work in the library at times."

Dr. Bauer Has Ideal Scheme As a mathe mat ical formula for the right kind of diet, Dr. W . W. Bauer, associate e dilor of Hygeia and representative of the A merican medica l association, set forth t he following in an addr ess to B a ssembly Friday, December 3 : multiplica tion of good green food, d ivided by three meals a day, plus m ilk and water . and m in us any i dea t hat diet w ill give one a n y special k nowledge. Speak ing on t he topic, "That's What You Think," Dr. Bauer sa id that Hygeia's editors find what students thmk from letters they w rite to the magazine. Many students have m istaken ideas, such as t h e boy who wrote in f or a diet w hich would improve his knowledge in mathematics. "We find that letters run true t o form from day t o day, and year to year," Dr. Bauer stated. F our m a in questions in the students mind are these, according to Dr. Bauer : "What should we eat? How do we look? H ow can w e look bett er ? How can we be m ore successful ?" A g ood diet should include protein, in the form of eggs, meat or legumes, two vegetables (one raw ) , t wo fruits. one serv ing of a whole grain product, and milk : in the opinion of Dr. Bau er. He added that spinach is not necessar y for a n adequate d iet, if some 0th.e r g r een vegetable is substituted. Gir ls Want Less Weight. Dr. Bauer spoke of t he man y letters from girls wanting to lose weight, and stated, "A girl sho uld stop short of cutting herself down so tha t it menaces her health ." "Many letters ask about ski n troubles a t the high school a ge," said Dr. Bauer, "and we take great care to answer these questions." '"Everything possible s hould be done to help high s chool students look well, although t he individual carries happiness inside, not c utside," he added. "We do not pick out friends because of their physical beau ty," was his statement. Letters r eceived by '"Hygeia" ask questions r a n g i n g from " Should I always open m y w indow at night?" t o '"How much water should I drink each day? " In answer to such inquiries Dr. Bauer say,; t hilt no two people « r e alike and that every person has to be treated in accordance with his own needs.

Arch ie Kirkendall then hit from the foul line for t wo. As the gun w ent off Dick York made a p us h shot from the side, making the final count 21-17. Best for the champions were Hoffma n and Arenas, w h i 1 e B rowne and York played bes t for the Plugs. Plugs w ere hampered by the

absence of Don Gerlach who broke his nose playing football in the oval. In the semi-finals November 23, the champions whipped the Dubbers 19-8, in one of the best games in the t ournament. Leading only by one point at the half, they h eld the Dubbers t o t wo free throws and went on to w in. Lupe Arenas w as high with 9 points, followed by "Bon y" H offman who ha d 4 points.

Christmas and its symbols have become associated In our minds with the Nativity story-the blazing star of Bethlehem, the quiet, lighted Christmas tree, the welcoming lights of candles as they beckon us from windows; the bells · as they ring throL1gh frosty air, and, lastly, the gifts, which have become an unforgettable tradition wh ith . each holiday season. People do th<it !ast little bit of s opping and wrap those surprises in bright colored ribbons which add to the gayety of the occasion. Once each yea r we r~turn ·to fairyland or, if we do not go ourselves, we visit through the eyes of the younger mem bers of our fa mil ics. Once a year we read Dickens Christmas Carol, trim the C~1ristmas tree and open our purses to the less fortunate-symbols of Christmas which warm our hearts. We grow sentimental as we look at the glowing tree around which the carols are being sung and from which peals of laughter ascend. The people of the world have been celebrating Christmas on December 25, for many hundreds of years. In fact we do not know exactly when this festival originated, but for us it is the gayest tirne of the year. This Chri~tmas there will be many, younq men and women at their l1omes only in spirit, sitting with the rest of the family and participating in the fun . For their sake, so that they can be home in futtJreyears, the best and most appreciated gifts we can give are war bonds and stamps. We will be doing something to he lp save the lives of many who are fighting for .America and for festive Christmases to come.

N erv Year Brings Hope For Peace From the most ancient days the first day of a New Year has been observed as a festive one.

Study Experiences In Work "In addition t o studying merchandise, selling, d isplaying and jqh hygiene, we take a lot of our time discussing experien ces in our work and wheth er we have handled it in the best way. We have contests between ourselves to increase t he sales in special departments and then talk about it in class.'; Miss Hubbard explained that her r oom will s oon be entir ely for dist ributive educa tion J(Urposes. " In one con1er w e have a g rocery u n it with p iles of tin cans, and empty cereal boxes. The mothers were ver y helpful in opening t he t in cans car efully from the bot tom so that they could be used realistically. A national gfocery magazine has asked t o take pictures when it's finished." ''We hope to add a drug and display unit a n d a n ima g inary stor\'l window w ith a frame having differ ent displays from t ime to time. We have ·been promised a m a nikin."

Miracle of the Manger Brings Peace Tidings A child. w<is born yesterday in the ruins of Naples. As the guns of fighting armies echoed throughout the gbost city a little boy made his entrance into the wor ld, a world of war, a world of hate, a world of death, but a world of hope. Tl1e little child home by a poor, undernourished woman with a bro1n1 skin may mean little as far as this war is concerned, hut he is a living symbol of the new and better world of tomorrmY. He is a syrnboL as was the Christ child of long ago, a symbQl of peace. His mother called him Juventa when she op1med her eyes ancl saw him. Juventa was his fat~er's name. Jnventa is a good name, an Italian name. Juventa 's fat.her is dead now, for he was killed in the fighting around Salerno. He was fighting on the \\'rong side, on the side of a leader whom he did not understand, and he died wondering why it had to be. But his son lives, borne by his beloved wife on a dark night under a smoky sky in a wrecked palace in Naples. Borne in a place that strangely resembles the manger where Mary gave the world the messenger of Good ·will. Juventa will Jive and grow now that Italy is being freed. He will grow, and study, and become a true citizen of Italy and his mother will tell him of the place of his Dirtn anti or 1i1t: ut:<1lh 61f his father. Juventa will look at her with his brown eyes and wonder. He will wonder why his father had to die, and why such a beautiful city as Naples had to be destroyed. He will wq_nder why men must kill and plunder and rape. He \Yill wonder, and let us thank God for that, for he will also reason and net. The 1\IiracJe or the Manger, the coming of the Prince of Peace has inspired men down through the ages. It was the new, the strange, the unhelieveable that inspired me11. It wns the belief by one man that men may live in peace, may substitute good will for hatred, and may wprk in peace. 'rhe tidings which Jesus bro11ght to the world will never he forgotten, but they must be revived :md strengthened, and Junnta must help, and we must help .Juve11ta. Juventa will grow into a healthy youth. Youth is a nice word, for it symbolizes widr}1orizons and hap!>iness and work-to-be-done. That is why Juventa, the youth born in the ruins of :::\a.ples, must. be made to see the ways of peace by us, a1id we in turn will be help~ ing ourselves, for we will be building a true peace. Our world is weal'y and old. Wars have racked it since the beginning of man. Let us throw off the yoke of the ages and bring forth a new world in which the miracle of the manger and the boy of l\" aples ·will have a chance, will have om support, will have our guiding influenee. Juventa will help to build Italy into a strcMg nation onee more, but he will see clearly the path which Italy and the other nations of the Ymrld must follow if 1rn are to have true peace. Juventa knows that this solution ha~ been obtainable for centuries. the way of Jesu~ Christ. .A brotherhood of 1wtious, a bornlingtogether of peoples, a common g-round of mectfr1g is the path to true peace. Our leaders are attempting this today. They are attempting to build th1·oug·hont the' y,·orlrl a reserrnir of good will u_po;i which we can draw at any time. Lasting thruugh the ages lrns been the story and religion built around the Miracle of the .Mang·er. :\ow is the time to put that belief into practice, to h ea l up the wounds of a t-)l'!t an.(! bleeding world, to help boys and girls like JU\-~nta in order t hat \Ve may help ourjlelvcs. No longer ·Can we live in our selfish world of isolati;)n, thinking only of ourselves in the first p erson. We are members of a world community. We are tiny entities on a planet striving for existence. \Ve cannot take iime for quarter-century wars. A child was born in Naples yesterday. If you had been ther.e in the bombed ruins that . were his birthplace and had looked into his brown terrified eyes, you would have looked aw;:iy quickly with a feeling of emptiness _ Hut you would have looked back and you would have smiled and yo u would have fondled him. for in him you would. see the .Miracle of the Mnnger. In his brave little features and inquiring eyt·s yort would see the reality of true peace. Grasp him and hold him fast, and teach him tlvi wa.ys of pea<!R., The l\Iiracl e of .the l\Ianger,

'\Ye started on Febrnary 13, the hottest :\ ew Year's day in histury. When we arrived there we got our safari together and started out. I called rny !\ o. 1 man l\Iahab because tar. 1v:is his name. J said "Bilajanhi." He d idn' t understand. ~e i ther did I. · We shook hands and 1n:•r e friend~. When we had traveled four davs we heard tom-toms. farther on we heard' Tom. He was the hearer of the message to Ganja_ Our natives. were tried and found wantiugwanting to go home. -·H this point my 1'\o. 1 man left me so in his plaee I got two No. ;·2 men, who were midgets to serve me. 'l'hese men were alwavs here today and gone tomonow but tornorrdw never came so they were happy. Then the Snow came! How shall I descri be the snow l Boy, how it snowed! 'rhat 's the. only way I can de:st:ribe the snow! At that point rny natives revolted and left rue in the forest to the mercies of the w.ild animals. A lion lurking in ambush sprang at me from behind and killed me. l w<is n ever h_eard from again.

Yeager Pro·ves To Be Good Sailor: Cast Turns In Excellent .Perforniance Turning in an excellent performance as the sailor, Johnny Wiiliam:i, who r eturns home to be thought a hero was J ack Yeager in the senior play, "Johnny," g iven December 10 and 11.

"Johnny for President in 1960," and a s ig:1 hanging in his house. "Welcome Home, Our Hero," Jack was quite bewildered. When it is explain Eed to him that he is the inspiration to the h it tune, "Keep The Guns a Poppin','' he is even m ore startled. A s the fast moving plot got under way, Charlene Frost a:> Sherry, the radio singer (who was Johnny's favorite pin-up girl) , exp lains to h im that she knows he is not the in spira tion of the song, ,,ince it was her brother, in the h ospital, who wrote it. When Johnny sees the m usic with the initials, S. A. D igbee, on the cover, he is provoked to think that Sher" r y, whose initia ls a r e like thes e, would p ermit such a spect acle to be made of h im. But finding o ut that her brother '. s in itials are t he same, a.II is forgiven, especially when -Sherry reveals t hat h er rea~ son for not t elling t h at J ohnn y isn' t the instiiration is because she want ed to introduce it over the radio so h er brot h er co uld hear it As a bribe to keep quiet on the subject unt il ten o'clock the ne:.;:t night, Jack accepts $500 from Charlene, planning to use it for his· m other's hat s hop. which is about to close up.

"Soldier Doct or " b y Clar a I n gram Judson is t he life story of William Crawford Gorgas. The life dream of Willie Gorgas was to b e a soldier and the thing he want ed most was to train at Wes t P oint. H e tried every p ossible chance, but all of his att empts taiied.

Doctor Eliot, the family physician, w a s the one who interested Willie in medicine. H e told Willie he could become an army doctor. With this goal in mind he went to New York City for his training. He had t o work his way through and sometimes m issed a .whole day's meals. Upon graduation from medical i?Chool, W illiam received the rank uf lieu t enant in the Medic a l Corps. He was stationed in little i;mt-ofthe-way f orts for some t ime until Janua ry of 1899 when he was sent to Cuba. This is when he began h is long fight against yellow fever. After long hard work and contracting t he disease h imself, William Gorgas had cleaned up t he cit y of H a vana unt il it was a spot of beauty. All the t ime he was cleaning 11p Havana m a n y .of the other countries of the world were trying to dig the Panama ,-; ana l but none had succeeded, so the l:'nited States decided t o try it. William Gorgas was appointed the job of clean ing up the Canal Zone and making it h ealthful. "Syrian Yankee'" by Salom Rizk is t h e i;;tory of his own life. Salam Rizk w as b orn in 1909 in a tiny poverty stricken town in Syria, where he lived in a tiny hut wit h his grandmol'!ler and their sheep and chickens. Eventually he became a swineherd and attended a little Arabic schoc:il, where he discovered his American c i t i z e n s hi p . The schoolmaster wrote to his uncles in Iowa, who forwarded the passage money, but n.e w aited five weary years before oeing a dmitted to the United States. [n an amazingly sh ort time he beo.:ame a hig h school pupil and later hegan the career of lecturing Mr. Rizk spol<.e to the students of L innln high in an a ssembly in e\pril of 1942. He outlined hi ~ book briefly in his s p eech ,

on leav e. Mary Dye, as Ju lia, was outstanding. pa rticularly w hen she tries t o win o~·er Johnny, but t o no avail. Lois Mae Heffley was good in her part of Katie, one of t he home town girls wh o has sudden asp irations of w in ning J ohnny over. Jackie Tobin and Annette Jacobs as Marge and Bubbles respectiv'"ly, were some other girls having the same id eas on the sailor as was Dee's gang com posed of Dor-' ean Killian. Mabel W es t, L<Jis H offman, Marjorie Alexis and Donna Beth Wagner. A reporter on t he staff of t h e Daily Chronicle, Jackie Gor do!:! tries to get all the information she possibly can on t he h ome town hero along with Van Westover, photographer from the same newspaper. Ambitious to become a famous m odel was Sally Stebbins who turned in a fine p erformance. Beverly J eanne Uhlir as the a uthority on hats was n ot ed for h er "hat of the month" selections . Priscilla F lagg made a ;o;ym pathetic grandmother of the rou~ ing Williams household. lend ing a willing hand at all times. A unt Samantha in her pict ure upon the wall was a governing principle of t he family's being the r ecipien t of many heart to heart conver sations with t he younger members of the family. "When Jack was r e vealed o.s not being t h e inspiration, disa ppointments w ere in order . But, when grandmother adds a stirring cli- · max t o the plot by saying that boys who have left their jobs a n d homes t o fight f or t heir country are all h er oes. the story comes to a · brilliant close. ~1i s~

Rangeler Tells Histories of Four Patriotic Songs Hugh T. Rangeler , while

recently, told of t he histor y behind f our of our patriotic songs , one of which is "America," one of our greatest songs. One of t he most interesting stor ies is the ca s e of "Yankee Doodle," w h ich most p eople think of a s an old Amer ica n t une, comp osed during t he Revolu tionary war by s ome of Washington's followers. T he tune first originat ed in The Netherhmds and was bein the Netherlands and was be• America by the Hessians wpen they w ere h ir ed by the British to fight as professional soldiers. In this w a y it became known t o t h e British soldiers,. who composed lit· tie ve rses which they thought rid i· culed the A m ericans. A fter the battle of Concord, h owever , t h e Americans t ook it u p a s their own s ong and used it as a mor ale builder for the rest of t h e war. A n other of these st ories is the switching of b attle songs in the middle of the Civil war. "The Batt le H ymn of the R epu blic" )>Vas w ritten by a. ·nor t hern writer , Julia Ward H owe, t o the t une of "J ohn Brown·s B ody" an old s outhern son g-. Var ious stories h ave seepe~ o ut a bout t h e or ig in of "Dixie, ' a popul ar ;;ong of t he s outh, but the m ost voiced is the one about a man named Dix--who owned a large f arm on Long Island. He managed the farm as if it were a sou thern p lant ation,' but paid wages to his N egro help er s instead of classifying t h em as sla ves. The Negroes g r ew t o love him so much . that t h ey took t he t une of Dan E mmett and s upposedly composed verses about Dix . Dan Emmett grew fam ous for th is son )5 . The last of these ~ongs is ' ·A merica," quotin g from a booklet g iven out by the sen ior choir t wo years ago, the s t ory is t h is: "America was w ritten by Samuel F. Smit h in one-h alf ho ur, inspired b y the tune, "God Sav e the K ing ." This t une was used by Germ a ny before E n g land u sed it fo r her royal an them. Germany got it from the N orsemen who probably h eard it sun g in F inland, t he F inns m ost likely captur ed it f r om t he Huns, who doubtless br ought it fro m Asia when t h ey entered Europe. The song, "America," d id not have w idespread p opula r it y until th e t ime of the Civil war. After t he flag was shot down at S um t er, t his song s t irred t he peop le thruou t the n orth during the exciting days of 1861. These are n ot bad experiences for songs.

1lieeting People Interesting Part Of Garage .Work When Ralph Lind, an a verage garage owner in t he average tovm · of Lincoln, was asked the most interesting part of h is work, h e said that he enjoys most meet ing so many differ en t t ypes of people. Mr. L ind, w ho has been w orking in a gar age for seventeen years, states that there are thousan ds of different characters a nd he thinks h e has seen them a ll. When ask ed what was the w or st type of personality he had found h e replied, " The thing that r eally gets on my nerves is w omen coming in and expecting to be chea t ed b ecause they don' t know a nything about cars. T hey either try to act like they know all about cars or they stand over you every m inute y ou're working on their car, and ask about every little thing you do. But _in all my years of garage work I find t here are far m ore g ood people than bad." Continu ing Mr. Lind sa id, "I remember one particular doctor who always wore the same kind of clothes, black coat, white old fashioned shirt and a bla<J> ti e. T h is doctor drank no w a ter at all, bu t only skim milk. He was probably over eighty years old a.nd I k now he was very r ich, for he owned ab out half of a big department stor e in town and sever a l fa rm s . but · still he kept up his p ractice, g o ing far out in th e count ry at an hours of the night."

Students Prefer Profession; Poll Most {hopular vocational choice of the 341 students of Lincoln high who participated in the second Ini;;titute of Student Opinion poll, sponsored by Scholastic magazine, was a profession, such as medicine, law, teaching, or nursing. One hundred and thirty-two boys and 216 girls participated. The question of the poll was, "If you could begin your career in any of the following, and obtain the same income at the start, which would you choose?" Seventeen boys found that a government or pu~ic service position appealed to them and 24 girls cast their ballot for the same. Twentynine boys and 50 girls preferred working for a large business or industrial corporation and 16 boys and 25 girls would rather work for a small business or industry. Thirty-eight boys and 32 girls showed they were the executive type by voting for proprietorship or management of their own business. Twenty-four boys and 78 girls had ambitions toward a profession, such as medicine, law, teaching, or nursing. Only 8 boys and 6 gir.Is were interested in farming or some branch of agriculture.

Junior Girl, Nadine Mae Beeman, Dies After Short Illness Nadine Mae Beeman died December 18, 1943, at the age of 16. Without an absence up to the day of the illness causing her death, Nadine was a junior in Lincoln high school. She was in home room 224 and enrolled in the stenographic curriculum. Nadine, a diabetic, became ill on Monday causing her to be absent the week preceding her death. Influenza developed into pneumonia and proved to be fatal. "Nadine was one of my best friends and during the years I have known her," stated Geraldine Hausner, "I have found her to be very quiet and . st udious. Everyone that knew her liked her because of her sweet personality." Another tribute, from Beatrice Duff is, "Nadine was a g rand girl and she got along well with everyone. .She and I were the best of friends for over six years and during that time I enjoyed her loyal companionship very much and it was very pleasant knowing her." A faculty member said, "Sweet, wholesome youth means so much to teachers that their hearts ache when a student dies suddenly. Nadine Beeman slipped away," she went on, "as quietly as she had lived, but how we miss her ·in our classes. She leaves a beautiful memory of work well done." Donald, brother of Nadine, is in the Navy on overseas duty. Ht;! is a former student of Lincoln h igh school. Funeral services were held on De{:ember 21, with Dr. Walter Aitken officiating. Dr. Aitken emphasized that Nadine was a faithful member of the St. Paul church school. Almost the entire front of the chapel was covered with flowers of all kinds w ith one large spray covering the casket. Pallbearers were: Beatrice Duff, Geraldine Hausner, Dorothy Peck, Nioma Waniska, Norma Fulmer and Helen Frickel, all attending Lincoln high schooL They were honorary pallbearers at the service and active pallbearers at the grave. Burial was in Wyuka.

* * * * From the Hi-Point of View BY HAL SCHWAMB. New Year of War! Coming of the new year signifies new hopes and new dreams on the part of most Americans. This year, however, ushered in during a great world conflict may bring grief and misery for millions of our citizens. Invasion of the continent looms nearer and nearer as a reality and in that undertaking the people of the United States must be prepared for enormous losses in both human lives and material. Since it is rumored that we are to supply almost three-fourths of the invasion force, our losses will naturally be the highest. Nineteen forty-four will bring total war to the United States in the fullest sense of the word. So far the national home front has not known the disaster and social· disruption that has come to many of the other nations engaged in the struggle on both sides. But the mounting casualty lists must be borne bravely if we are to continue to work and win. Victory and peace also may come in 1944, at least in Europe, and what more could America seek than a triumph of right and justice over tyranny and oppression. General_ Eisenhower's m essage to this effect gladdened the hearts of many in the land and

brought warmth to a nation whose youth is leading the march to world freedom and ·peace. Strikes ..• Friend of Mars. If the ancient God of War went about America awarding medals to those who are doing their utmost to prolong the present conflict, he would certainly not pass by the strikers. At a time when the very existence of our nation is in the balance, to know that men engaged in essential work would lay down their tools for a few cents an hour makes one wonder what has happened to America, to the America n way of life. Is the power of ·the dollar sign so grea t in our land that a dispute over a few cents an hour compels men to sacrifice their own sons on the field of ba ttle? That is the true, simple, abhorring fact of the matter. The recent threat of the railroads to .strike, which would havd meant an overnight collapse of our war effort, was a national disgrace. Something is radically wrong somewhere in the lea dership of labor, in management, or in the hearts of Americans. Our soldiers on the field of battle have and will continue to advance and unless the soldiers of production stop delaying the day of victory, the soldiers on the field of battle will have much to settle with them when they return.

Himmler-Ruler of Europe. Helping as much as anything to sustain the regime of Adolf Hitler in Germany and Europe is the gestapo manipulated by the bloody hand of Heinrich Himmler, master murderer of them all. Although this has been a known fact for some time, it is further substantiated by the Swedish journalist Arvid Fredborg in his informative and interesting book, "Behind the Steel Wall," which tells the inside story of Germany today. Ranks of the gestapo in Germany alone have swelled to the size of an army and were recently bolstered furt her by the Hitler Youth organization, when that group was given police ppwers. German cities are distorted by street barricades and block houses built by Himmler's orders to be sign s of the power and authority of the Nazis and to be put into use in case of. any revolutionary. movement. Nazism is making frantic efforts to save itself on the fields of battle and at the same time to guard against home front disturbances. Hitler has given Himmler fearful a uthority as minister of internal security, for he and other leaders of Nazism know that the end of their regime w ill bring death for them all.

Bogan, Wednesday, J anuar y 5, from t he war departm ent. Robert has been awarded the Air Medal and the Oak Leaf cluster. ~e has 18 missions t o his credit. Tail g unner on a B-24, Robert enlisted in the A rmy A ir Corps in 1942 a nd was going in to his second year in the service. He received his training at E l P aso, Texas, and Tucson, Arizona. A sister, Jean, is a senior in Lincoln high school.

Junior-Senior P1·om Proves To Be Success; Cle,ver Decorations Dress Up Gymnasium With cartoons depicting s.ong titles, drawings of Miss Jessie B. Jury and Ralph Beechner on the walls and red, whit e and blue crepe paper decorations hung from the ceiling, the Whittier school gymnasium fully looked the part of a plac{l where a high school prom was being held. The prom, in this case, was the Lincoln high junior-senior prom held last Friday, January 7. Approximately 100 couples attended and the affair was a g ala one. Everyone seemed to have a good tim e dancing t o t he music of Francis Ellsworth and his orchestra. Flowers were very plentiful with many of the girls wearing corsages and some of the boys even had boutonnieres. T he flowers were of various kinds; popular c hoices being gardenias, roses, and carnations. Gloria Waugh had a lovely corsage of violets given her by Tom Zichek , her escort . The violets looked very well on her two-piece lavender and yellow dress. Hazel Johnson, accompanied by Don Sutherla nd, had a beautiful corsage of red and white carnations with baby breath. Several couples illustrated the fact that dances which include both junior and senior class members are a good idea. For example, Jackie Greer , junior, with Kenneth Peterson, senior, and Mary Du mpert, sen ior , with Kent B eaman, junior. Am ong the m a ny other junior-senior combinations

were Bette Jean Clough, senior, and Russell Tudor, junior. Black was quite a popular color among the girls' outfit s. I ncluded in the group that wore black were Ruth H all, escorted by Gene Adams, Donna Tatman, with N eil Penton, a nd Bette Heckenlively, who was with . Ed Schaumberg. Among the persons who looked to the brighter colors were Na ncy Gish, in a r ed and white drei>s , a nd J ane McArthur, who wore a striking dress of r ed a nd bla ck. These girls were escorted by Bill B rowne a nd Reese W ilson, r espectively. Pastels were perhaps the most popular with almost e very color of pastel present. Included in the pastel group were J ackie Gordon with Jud Turner, Mary Lou Smith, with Phil Oxley, Ann Cha mberlin escorted by Irv Dana, and Ph yllis Mortlock, who wa s with H arold Wagey . Choosing green for their dresses were Pea r l Armstrong, with Don Lynn, and Barbara Wentz, whose escort was Da n Jones. Two surprise couples were Becky Allen, escorted by Dick Towle, and ·Priscilla Flagg, with Tom McDermott. Apparently having loads of fun were Gerry Michel and Hal . Schwamb, Mary Lea Ferguson and Charles Campbell, Margie Dahlman with J ohn Whitten, Barbara Mohler and Wayne Sohl, Bonnie Smith w ith Wayne Ky ker, and J ean Ballance and Ralph Wells. T wo couples, one a new deal and t he other an old one, were Thelma

Miller and Warren "Bill" R-0berts, and Nancy Lee Smith and Stanley Marcotte. Among the chaperons were Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Evans, Mr. and Mrs. P hillip Harris, Mr. an d Mrs. Roy Green, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Mardis, Miss E dit h E llis, Miss Jen• nie Lou Piper, Miss N ancy Jane Wallace, Miss Josephine W ible, Miss Mary Ba r dwell, Mr. and Mrs. Hackman, Otto H ackman, Miss Marguerite Gundermann , Mrs . Ruth Dodge, Miss Irene Ma rt in and Miss Dorcas Weatherby. Jean W oodwor th danced gaily with A rt Parchen, but Art a lso centered his attentions on s ome other young ladies- namely, Miss Irene Martin and Mrs. Ruth Dodge. Miss Weatherby tripped t he light fanta stic with a nu mber of fellows. The chaperons who didn 't d ance played bridge or watched the dancers. The decorating committee certainly did a fine job dressing u p t he g ymnasium. The cartoons were made by Bob F erguson and Art P a rchen, and, incidentally, were terribly clever. Keystone cop placcards gave directions w here to go, w hat to do. Frank Loeff el and Tom Green assisted by R obert "Bud" H ertzler, Art. Parchen, Dwight Griswold, a nd Ma r vin Curt is, were lar gely responsible for the success of t he party. All in all, ever yone seemed to be enjoying himself and the dance a pparently indicates that school dances should be held m ore often.

'V' Mail Letters Are Vitamins For Valiant Lads I

Vitamins are certainly talked about these days! The world is becoming vitamin conscious. We are awakening to the fact that vitamins are an absolute necessity. This applies, not only to food, but to things that boost our morale, make us feel better. One of the most essential ''vitamins" for our men and women in the armed services is "V" mail letters. Perhaps you never thought of letters as ·a vitamin, but as sure as there was a December 7, 1941, or a July 4, 1776, "V" mail letters are vitamins. . Now, take for example, the case of Joe Doaks, average American doughboy. Joe was in a foxhole on one of the South Pacific islands. He was feeling mighty low because he hadn't heard from the folks back home for a long time. Of course, he knew they were busy working in defense plants, raising victory gardens and doing other patriotic jobs, but, gee, you'd think they would have enough time to write a fellow a letter. After all, it just isn't any picnic to lie and wait for the fiendish little yellow men, or hide every minute because they might be lurking in the nearby trees and shrubs wait· ing for an opportunity-the opportunity to do away with another obstacle in their path. Joe thought about the times he eould have written fellows he knew who were in the service before he entered the arn1y. He had had time; he could have taken fifteen min;utes out of a day made up of 24 hours, 1440 minutes, to write a pal a letter. But Joe just hadn't considered it important enough. Now, every time he thought about it he felt like kicking himself. Joe didn't feel much like fighting as he lay in his foxhole, or like giving up his life for folks who were too busy to write him; but, a little later, when five "V" mail letters were put into his hands he felt differently. Yes, mom, dad, sis, brother, and that very special girl had all written him, Joe Doaks, a letter. Joe realized then that he had been foolish in surmising that they hadn't writen. No, it was just pretty tough to get the letters delivered clear to Joe. Joe kenw, however, that "V" mail is rushed just as soon as possible and he settled down in his foxhole truly believing that more letters were on the way and he smiled happily hoping that other Anierican,soldiers were as fortunate as he in having some folks back home who really backed him up. Such is the story of "V" mail letters on the war fronts and far flung army camps all over the world. Thousands of "Joe Doaks" are hoping you'll find time to write them a line. It means so much and takes so little. time. The one thing that everyone can do for the war effort is to write letters to the men and women who are serving their country to the fullest degree. Supply that much needed vitamin, the one that can't be obtained in capsules or tablets, by writing "V" mail letters to the folks you know in the service.

Hoarding, Obtaining Illegal Gas, Spending Help Axis Do you get gas without ration coupons? Do you hoard canned food? Are you buy· ing the things which really are not a necessity? If you are, then you're helping the BLACK MARKET! Do you realize how much gas it takes to make a raid on Germany? · It takes thousands of gallons for a bomber raid to go and come back. Obtaining gas without ration coupons is merely helping the Axis. That's what they want us to do. Hoarders! These meanest people on earth are helping the Axis too. "But what will a few dozen cans do to hurt the war effort," you probably say. If everyone in this United States of ours would say that then you would realize how it would hurt the war effort. A few dozen cans multiplied by 130,000,000 would certainly add up. . Buying things whi~h you do not need is also helping the Axis. By spending money foolishly, you don't put as much into war bonds as you should. Don't help the Axis. They want us to hoard, buy unnecessary things, obtain illegal gas, but the United States is a country not so easily fooled-

Gardenias and carnations seemed to be the "belles of the prom" since most of the girls were wearing corsages of carnations and gardenias, although there were many other varieties present. Some of the different couples appearing at the "wellenjoyed prom" were Kay Kinsey with Bob McGehee, Wanda Jones dancing with "Charlie" Wilson, Janet Staley with De Forrest Hughes, Kay Hutton with "jitterbug" Harold Larson, "Jackie" Jane Andrews starring with Don Sh~pherd, a new deal of Velma McGrew and Johnny Fiala, another "jitterbugging" couple combination of Marilyn Davis and Jack Brown, Helen Hummel appearing with John Frerichs, Shirley Schnittker escorted by Harris Graves, Elaine Washburn with Dudley Olney,• Marcia Tyner with Jack Shannon and last but not least, Beverly Sievers accompanied by Don Hendrickson.

Joan, Kay and Ella, former L. H. S. students, were home from school for the holidays. More "pike-goers" were Mary Lou Parkhurst cutting the rug ( ?) with gay "Woody" Potter, Mary Lou King with that new date, Bud Kuncl, and of course "Jo" Sanders with that certain boy from Northeast who answers to the name of "Bus" Wymore. Other Lincoln high girls with Northeast boys were Kathleen Portsche-Jack ·Bai I e y, and "Bluie" Lambert-Gene Hudkins.

Florence Jenkins Visits California During Holidays

Question of the Week

Miss Florence Jenkins, debate coach, spent Christmru; vacation in California. She accompanied her father who plans to stay there for a while. Miss Jenkins said the trip out was not too pleasant as their train was 20 hours !ate. They saw where there had been a train wrecked in Gallup, New Mexico, in which a locomotive and two passenger cars were overturned which caused a delay. "I noticed the first change in climate when we got to Needles, California, in the evening. It seemed like stepping out of a cold climate into a balmy spring," Miss Jenkins remarked. Most of the time she

was

To the Editor : The average h igh school pupil when asked about h is or her political views usually replies that Ile knows nothing about politics, nor does he care to know. This is an un:t1ealt hy, lazy attitude, perilous to our nation's wel· fare. Every boy and girl should realize his responsibility and privilege. The duty to oneself and all of one's descendants lies in a living, vigilant interest in the government's political and economic policies. What I am proposing is that there be offered in high school a course in political science for all students interested, or that in our social studies requirement courses there be included some kind of political science work. Now this may not be readily accepted by high school pupils as a course they enjoy, but it would be as necessary for them as algebra, geometry, Latin or other similar subjects which are taken as matter of course that are gen erally declared unbearable by the pupils. Political science is a subject that grows in interest, the more on e studies it. We would no doubt find most pupils more vitally interested aft er a semester or two than ever before in national world affairs which will go a long way in pre· serving. the long awaited peace.

IFrom The Files I One year ago the candidates for class officers were nominated, ten for each class. Links pictures were b e i n g turned in by January seniors. Links board met to decide on the letting of contracts for printing and engraving. Five years ago Gene Bradley won the Faulkner cup with his original oration, "Six Cent P op." L.H.S.'s debate squad entered the forensic tourneys. Lincoln high showed a record of winning 31 oj: 35 debates. Ten years ago the student council revised the Red and Black handbook. Room 326 was to be used for a studio for Links group pictures. Sixteen years ago Paul Moessner and Rose Cohen were chosen as senior speakers. The annual Lincoln high concert was planned to be given January 20. Don Abbott and Beth Miller were chosen as business m anagers.

"Trackless trolleys are the names of the buses in Seattle," remarked Miss Proctor . "They have trolleys like our street cars, but don't run on tracks. They're very smooth riding and seldom come loose from the trolley wires."

Pretty soon, "Joe! Are you up?" yells mom. "Yeah," you mutter as y ou turn over. Later, "Are you dressed, Joe? " y~lls mom again. "Yeah," you say as you turn over again. Suddenly you realize, "Hey it's not night after ·all, just these dark mornings." As you struggle out of bed your feet become entangled in t he sheet and you fall out with a hearty thump. "Oh-h-h!" you groan mechanically, but in r ea lity are too sleepy to feel it. "Breakfast is ready, hurry, " mom yells. "Yeah, I'm coming," you say, trying t o hurry a little. "Where's that light?

BY CAL DUNTEN. Adolph Hitler's hatred for all human being s is portrayed in t h e first chapter of Konrad Heiden's "Der Fuehrer," which appears in the December issue of the Satur• day Review of Literature. The plot centers not so much about Hitler himself but rather what "the little painter" did. Young Adolph wanted to be a painter. He had seen Lenbach and Makart, painters fam ous only in Austria, not as men, but as gods. Adolph wanted to be a god also; So, instead of paying attention to his other studies, he leaned more and more to the art of paint ing. If, at any time, he thought he was without opposition, he w as mis· taken, for his father beat him and scolded h im over and over for not listening. This might have been the cause of Hitler's ha tred because he de~ided (th is is the way he says it ) to punish his father by becoming frivolous and la zy. By the time he was fourteen his once brilliant beginning at school was reversed. Hitler as a scholar, even a fter changing schools to his own liking was decidedly below average, so the reader learns. Someth ing interesting to note is his poor ha ndling of the German language w hich he later rose to command. In mathematics he was marked satisfactory but fell down miserably in external appearance of written work. At the age of sixteen, the young "scholar" fell ill with a lung a ilment, which left him with a marked frailness which has never left him.' Until Hitler was twenty-two, h e i.VG..5 constantly entel'ing or try ing to enter art contests to gain admittance to a sch ool of art . After this age he beca m e discouraged an d lazy, begging h is food from all who would give and sometimes scooping sidewalks in the winter. During this time he sought refuge in "warming rooms" where the homeless could be comfortable temporarily. An interesting thing ' to note is t h at these "warming rooms" were owned by Ba ron Koenegswarter, a wealthy Jew who donated them to some of the very people who i,vere soon to r ise up a nd explode bombs in his face. That's a true example of nazi gratefulness.

New Entry Tells Of Illinois School "I like Lincoln high school," were the wor ds of Margaret Jenks, sophcmore who has entered from La Crosse, Wisconsin, where she attended Logan high school for eight weeks. Before moving to La Crosse, Margaret lived in Rock Island, Illinois, for eight months. She attended the Rock Island senior high school which is larger than Lincoln high. The $3,000,000 building was just opened in Sep· tember of 1943. Asked about the Rock Island football t eam she replied, "It is a good team, as they won s tate championship, this year. We have a large stadium which is r ound and has a sunken field." They have a group similar to our Peppers. They wear blue skirts and jackets with gold long sleeve blouses, since blue and gold are their school colors.

For Thanksgiving, their dinner consisted of dehydrated potatoes, cornbeef, sliced dill pickles, bread and butter, and coffee. "We picked up some butter in Australia and on it was, Fairmont Butter, Omaha, Nebraska. I was sure proud of that," stated Larry. "On on e island before before w e hit the New Hebrides, a Jap plane came over and dropped two bombs. It was dusk so the fellows didn " t go to see about them," L arry told. "In the morning the fellows went to look around. There was no damage done with the exception of the killing of Elsie, the cow. She was the only cow on the isla nd. " Funeral services were held and a tombstone was erected with an inscription saying, "Here's to Elsie, who was accused of walking around during a blackout by H? ?" To Larry, the most beautiful island that h e saw in the South Pacific was Guadalcanal. There are natural w ater falls that one can easily take showers under. Sidney, Australia, was also a favorite of his, because it is more like the United States than any other place. Larry is in the armed guard and has been on a merchant ship.

Two desks are placed at the entrance, on e being t he hosp~tal ity desk provided by the directors, and the other the information desk p r ovided by the senior h\)stesses. "Senior hostesses, composed of L incoln women, play a large part in making the club a pleasant and h elpful place for the service men," Miss Hovland st a ted. " Our interest is in their problems and we do our best t o make them feel a t home," she a dded. T here are a ls o junior hostesses, who are gir ls, eighteen -years-old or older , who do their share in the building of morale. Many of these g irls are a lso Lincolnettes. Miss Hov la nd went on to tell of the many rooms provided in which the men can draw, rest, write letters and play games.

Lead by sharp shooting Harry Meginnis, Lincoln high's Red and Black cagers rolled over the Hastings Tigers last Friday night by a 32.- 27 score at. Hastings. The Tigers, lead by Don Duncan's basket and fine defensive work, pushed ahead 6-4 at the end of .the first canto. But the Links came back strong in the second quarter to push ahead by a point at half time. The score at the half was 13-12. The Tigers were Jt\>t to be denied as they came back strong after intermission to Jl1ake the score 19-19 all at the end of the third quarter'. Then with four and a half minutes left with the score tied 21-21, Hastings pushed ahead only to lose the lead a minute later on Meginnis's basket. The Links then got hot and hit three straight baskets to forge ahead 30-27. The Tigers tried desperately to get the ball, but the fine floor work of Harry Meginnis held the Tigers scoreless. Best for the Red and Black were Meginnis and Cox on the scoring role while Leikam was good on defense. The Orange and Black cast all their hopes on Don Duncan and he played a whale of a game, along with Bill Perdew.

making maps is from aerial photographs mosaiced into one large picture. I can't tell you much about this because we don't want the details to get out. Even the enemy doesn't know all about it, we hope. The trimetrigon maps are made from aerial photographs. Three cameras are set simultaneously so that when the pictures are pasted together they form a map from horizon to horizon. In this manner we are able to map 16,000 miles in 11 days and 60,000 miles in three weeks, which is covering a lot of territory." The planometric map is easily read, according to the speaker. This map tells all the trails, roads, houses and ·fences in a certain locality. This is very helpful in finding crashed planes. The planometric map is placed. on one side of a piece of paper and a mosaic map is placed on the other. "While in training we made a map of :P.ensacola, Florida, and the towns 'a round it. Our group also makes target shots of different enemy bases. The J.ohotographs are taken from P-38's and Flying Fortresses," he concluded.

Others said they enjoyed b~ing in shows, operas, and Joy Nig ht, presented at school. Severa l seniors agreed tha t graduating was the big moment in their lives at L . H . S., while others found that m eeting n ew people continually was a grand experience for them. One gir l said tha t working in the library was very interesting while some thoug ht that being a home room representative was fun, and the int er-class debate t ou rnamen t was the most interesting experience for some students . Asked why they considered it desirable t o continue in school until g raduation rather than quit and get a job, most of the seniors' answers wer e alike in that they a ll believed a person with a high school education will be given preference, in the post-war world, over a person who d.id not gradua te from hig h sch ool. "High wages now oft er only temporary advantage while education is invaluable forever," said Mary Barstler . John Fischer believes, "After this war you will get paid for what you know rather than what you can do."

Dentists Offer Free Exams Lincoln dentists have offered to give free dental examination to all young men and women at t ending the public schools who are .17 or older in order that pupils who will soon be in the a rm ed forces or engaged in essential war activities may have full knowledge of their dental needs. To receive one of these examinations, the student has t o obt ain a card from his home r oom teacher which must contain both the teacher's name and the student's .

From the Hi-Point of View

BY H A L SCHWAMB. Salute the Unconquerables!

Grea test test for freedom -loving peoples is their ability to cont inue resistance to a conqueror even after their primary defense ha.s been reduced to shambles. Merit ing our whole-hearted salute in this respect are the Unconquerables of Europe, the peoples existing under the brutal system of nazism a nd tyranny. · Last week's tribute to the Unconquerables was t ruly a n oble gesture from our nation to the Norwegians, DJtch, Czechoslovaks, French and B elgians. Still it was a ll an external s how and few Americans were really touched by the pitiful conditions described by mournin g narrators, or if touched, forgot it when the next program came on and could tell you nothing about it an hour later. If we want t o pay a real tribute to the U nconquerables of Europe and of the world, who are resisting with their bare hands the st eel mig·ht of tyranny, we will begin now t o thin k of t he ways in wh ich we can best aid ou r nation in its great str uggle to sma.sh hate and

oppression in the world. And we can begin now to live a life t hat will best illustrate t he way in which every man, deep in his heart, wishes he could live, in a world of peace and prosperit y. Midd le of t he Road. Problems of dangerous aspect are already beginning t o arise within the ranks of the "United" Nations. Most ominous of these rumblin g disturbances t hat threaten t o rock nations for years to come is that if the border between Poland and Russia. Such questions must be settled definitely, but can we afford, and can our allies afford, to create dissension and hatred within our ranks when w e should all be united against the common foe? In the Polish-Russian disp ute, both sides have strong argument s to back up their claims, but can we rightly join in a political strugg le that might well flare into ter r ifying ends a nd involves forces much greater t han A merica's views ? The Un it ed Sta tes m ust begin now t o formulate· a d efinite policy in regard t o present world questions- and ques tions which

****

will arise after the war. We have been told not t o meddle in the P olish-Russian d ispu te, told very plainly and strongly by our most powerful "ally." As Dorothy ·Thompson stated so aptly in a re• cent art icle, we must begin now to draw a line bet ween wha t does and should interest us and what ia none of our business in world af· fairs. Many will shout that a policy ·which allows us to sit back at one instant a nd step forward the next is t oo isolationistic and borders on our old "peace at any pnce" pol· icy. A "m iddle of the r oad" cou rse is wha t we must have, however, if we are going to co-operate w ith the other nations of the world in maintaining peace and still guard our sovereign rights. In many problems which will inevitably arise, even in a world union, the United States must be big enough t o s t ep back and watch. Only when every nation finds its place in world affairs and is willing t o cooperate t o the f ullest ext en t can we achieve our common goal . • • w orld peace . . . "Good News Is in the Making"

Waste Fats For Drugs, Ammunition and Soap Would you like to bomb Hirohito off his oriental pedestal? Have you that "let me at 'im," desire to get Hitler, of the "super-raced Huns? Here's your chance then, especially you girls who may feel your Red Cross or U. S. 0. work isn't enough. Our government is asking for waste fat. Yes, all you need to do to fire the bullet or release the bomb that may hit that little "son of heaven ," Hirohito, or that ''g00;:;c;:;tepping nazi," Hitler, where it hurts most, is to collect waste fats. It sounds simple doesn't it? and it is just as easy as it appears to be. Just strain and save in a clean can all waste dripping and grease. Usually these are thrown away. The salvage grease you eollect goes directly to war. The glycerine contained in these fats is nsed in the making- of bnllets. And not only do you receive the satisfaction that comes from performing a vital war service, but you are paid by our government as well. You are reimbursed, not only in money (the rate is 2c a pound) , but Uncle Sam will give you 2 points of meat stamps for every pound of waste fat you collect. ~::,:. :.:'.' ''011 have b•oe:i b1.~ting thick, juicy steaks without ever seeing them , L,t alone sinking your teeth i;~ Lo their aromatic depths, here's your elrnnce to help mother get a monthly sirlorn at lea~t. Now vou can see, whichever way you look at it, y;u can't lose. If every pupil in L. H. S. would cooperate in this drive and see to it that one o~ce of waste kitchen fat is salvaged for victory each week, Lincoln high would collect 131 pounds a week, and the VICTORY WOULD BE CLOSER!

India Offers Many Interesting Sights According to Corporal Roland Miller "We were sitting on our cots When the whistle blew. We all i-an like heck and sure enough, it was mail .call." was a statement made by Roland Miller, '42. who has arrived safely in India. "This was our first mail from home." Since his anival there, he has been promoted to technician fifth grade or corporal. In the Signal Corps, he hali had many inte!·esting experienecs. In India, American money had to be exchanged for the Indian RUPEE, which is equal to about 35 cents in American money. The men sleep on wooden beds with mosquito netting. He also r e lated that they have a native working for them. He shines their shoes, etc. "We have plenty of vegetables and fruit You would be surprised to see the amount of American canned goods sold over here. The prices are high though," he explained. They have recreational equipment for playing volley ball, ping

pong, basehall and bingo. "The shows here are a year or two old . but we enjoy seeing them ·-old or new. For other recreation, we go to town or explore the country. About seven of us boys climbed halfway up a mountain. There were old temples and dwellings carved out of the side of the mountain. Some were dated 120 A. D. and olcler. "We also w ent to town one Sunday. The native bazaars a re something to look at. They are open Sundays, just the same as any othe1· day. Most of them have junk and all ha\·e practically the same thing. The market plaee is colorful, too. All the different kinds of clothes and food make quite a display. Seeing elephants roll logs made log detail another interesting experience. I've seen some pretty country, but nothing compares with the good old U. S. A." Roland was a member of the national honor socie ty while in Lincoln high.

"Modern furniture , in my opinion, should be ultra-modern or not modern at all." stated Mr. Haush. "Hardly any period furniture, such as Louis XV. is absolutely the exact r e production," he explained. French style furniture is preferred by women, while English style is preferred by men, according to ~fr. Haush. "The safest thing in decoration is mahcgany with mahogany, maple with maple; and walnut with walnut. If people follow this pattern they will find that their furniture will not be dated so readily as it would_ if th<'y followed the pattern of different woods. as the immediate style sometimes indicates." "Variation in furniture, or in any kind (If home decorations, is very limited at the present. M.o;;t people have to make the best choice of what they can get no\;·, or use what they have, until after the war. Therefore it is a good idea to acquaint yoursi~lf with the fundamentals of home dccorating!' \

To Help War Bond Drive "Students and the 4th War Loan Drive" is one of three subjects which the Columbia Scholastic Press ha~ chosen for the new edilo1 ial and cartoon contest to aid in the selling of \Var Bonds throughout the 4th War Bond Drive, January 18-February 15. The subjects are: "Why Buy War Bonds 7" "Students and the 4th War Loan Drive. Or any topic relating to War Bonds in the Schools-at-\Var program. 1

Material prepared by the student must appear in the school publication, the Advocate, before February 1. No word limit has been set for editorials.

Remember to Lock Locker. Locker inspectors are not having to report so many locke rs left open these days as in former times. The inspec tors. who check each locker every period. have found only two or three lockers open at the most which they must record, and often none at all. If lockers are kept locked, it is not so great an invitation to fellow students, to borrow books or to outsiders who have been known to take things from school lockers.

Luedke and Blum Pass Radio Technical Test Harold Luedke and Robert Blum, both of '43, were the only two that passed the radio technical test out of 130 men stationed at Farragut, Idaho. where they took their seven weeks boot trainmg. It consisted largely of mathematics and physics. To them the V-12 examination seemed simple competition to this. They will be sent to some radio technical school in the near future.

Altho its history goes back to pre-Revolutionary War days when shipping ha1.ards included pirates as well as the elements, the U. S. Merchant Marine did not have its own national cadet corps until 1938. Appointments now are open only to single Americans at least 17 years and 6 months old and ·who have not reached their 23rd birthdays. They must have been American citizens for at least 10 years and must be of good health and moral character. All candidates must have 15 scholasti~ credits in high school, including 11, ~ credil-, of mathematics an.J 11;-2 credits of science. Although the training period hag been reduced trom three years lo eighteen months. a merchant marine cadet-midshipman gets to see plenty of action. Six months of the eighteen are spent a.board an American merchant ship delive ring the goods to every Allied port.

After the three-month bash:: course. six-months of sea duty and nine months o{ advanced training at the academy. cadet-midshipmen are commissioned ensigns in the naval reserve. subject to call to active duty, and they receive their licenses as third officers, mates or engineers in the merchant marine. The best opportunity of them all for high sc hool students is the Cadet Corps of the H. S . Merchant Marine. Cramming a threeyear education on a college level into eighteen months of sea and shore studies. the training program is tailor-made for the better-than-aver:i..ge high school student. The 15-unit requirement wit.ii a unit equal to a full y ear of high school means that a high school diploma is virtually a necessity.

"Going to School ls ~ost lff!por~ant Part of Young People Today;' Lefler "The most important war activity young people have 'today is going to ·s chool.'' asserted M. c. Lefler, . sµperintendent of schools, in a recent interview on how war has affected Lincoln schools. He said that the purpose of fighting this war is to give youth a better world fo live in,and education prepares them to take their place in. that post-war World. There are two' great. losses in schools, caused by the war, according to Mr. Lefler, the first being the reduction ot the teaching staff, in Lincoln, due to personnel going into war work and armed forces. He added although, that the fact that this is a university town makes it easier to replace them. The second loss is in the upper grades where sixteen-year-olds have left school to.take jobs, open because so many a.dulls have gone into war work. He firmly stated, ··'.'It is a mistake to try to compensate for education with moneyc" When asked what causes juve~ nile delinquency, Mr. Lefler replied; "In war time the important thing is to win the. war and therefore people are. apt to lessen their amount of home care and devote their time to . war work: If par~ ents would put the welfare of their · chHdren first, delinquency would decrease considerably." He indicated, how~ver, that the recor<l1 ahow Lincoln has not 11uffered too much from. teen-age delinquency,

Correspondent Is Speaker Madame Betty Barzin Tells of Underground In Occupied Countries "Now h ere is ther e as complete an underground movement as in Belgium," Madame Betty Barzin, correspondent for Life, Fortune, Newsweek and Time, who escaped from her native country after the German invasion, stated as ·she spoke before t he assembly J anuary 25 . Madame Barzin explained that there is an underground movement in every country in Europe and that it is a revised edition of underground movements of the f irst World War. "We Belgians like our own paper, pFinted in our own way, so we go underground to do it," she declared. In explaining how the underground functions Madame Barzin said , "We have more than 200 underground n ewspapers. These are delivered by hand in many m ysterious ways, such as in the newest handbag or by mailbox. Children, priests and everyone help to deliver them. The linotype and presses can be taken apart and are moved about every ten Jay:3 ·:-1 t'\v0 v,;--eek s. 1 • "The underground papers are extremely useful because they give information outside to Americ a and England. They give a full list of acts of sabotage done by sabotage squads," relate d the speaker . "The social workers are another essential section of the underground. They clothe, feed and even supply fUel for many persons who hide a w ay in barns and far away houses because they are threatened with deportation and cannot , therefore, come out for their rations. ~t·.."'!H(>~raf'l1 r;.r~; 'N o1·~, ;.;-i hours a day trying to pick up foreign broadcasts. The social workers also aid allied aviators who fall on Belgian soil,". stated Madame Barzin. Madame Barzin also told how the Germans took away all the ir wool, food , r ubber, and radios. "However,·• she continued , "the people ·who could afford it had bought a second radio set and hidden it. Everybody li stens to the broadcasts from Amer ica and England ; it is the very life of the people." For financial aid the people casually hand money to trusted citizens who they know are connected with the underground movements, related Madame Barzin. "Anybody who works in the 'underground movement knows only two other p ersons who work in the group; thus, if one person is caught he can he forced by torture to expose only a very small part of t he underground movement," concluded Madame Barzin.

German Schools Before Hitler's Di.ctatorship ..4re Described by Professor Neivhouse Prof. Albert Newhouse, mathematics professor at the University of Nebraska, who, until 1938 when he came to America, lived in Hamburg, Germany, tells of what the German schools were like when he went to school, before the rule of Adolf Hitler. Albert Newhouse was born at Cambrai , France, near the border. When he was six months old his family moved back to their nat ive . land. After he came to America he attended Chicago University where he received h is Ph. D . in m athematics. H e . taught a t both Alabama University and Tulane at N ew Orleans. H e then came t o Nebraska where he is now t eaching his second year. · Just a few weeks ago Professor Newhouse received his citizenship papers. "You start in school at six," he stated in reference to German schools, "but if your parents wish they may send you to kindergarten at five. You continue in the public sch001~ n nt.il you are sixteen if you plan to leaL.-. "· tr~.de. or nineteen if you plan to be a lawyer, doctor, professor, business man, etc." The children go for the first four years, s ix to ten, to w hat could be termed an elementary school. At the age of t en, t h ey decide what they intend to be and continue for the next six or eig·ht

years in either a 'gymnasium,' which stresses language, o r in a. 'oberrealsehule,' wh ich stresses science. The boy s a nd girls attend separate schools. "The main fault with their school system is that the brea k or time when they choose thei r future vocation, comes too ear ly ," h e r elated. In a 'o brr ealsehule' they requir e a pupil to t a k e mathematics thru trigon ometry, history, b iology, zoology, German, three years of English, six years of either Sp a nish or French, physics, ch emistry, geography and physical education . They have very few electives. The . 'gymnasnun' reqrnres eig ht year~· of L atin and Greek. This is valuable for lawyers, since German law uses the Roman code and all the laws a re in Latin. Persons w ho care to learn a trade, stop school at sixteen and begin as apprentices in s hops a n d take inst r u ction in the afternoon or a t n ight. When asked what changes Hitler n ..,......

Hi- Point of View

From the BY BOB McGEHEE

His plan is t o t a k e selected stu•

Many !Jigh 8chool b oys are going

dents of t he sophomore year in

into the a rmed f orces alm ost at

hig h school, g ive them a t h ree-y ea r

once aft er g rad uat ion.

T his is

course, w hich is a c ombina t ion of

the way it m ust be, for the men

high school w ork and college w ork,

of this a ge mak e the best figh t ers

an d g r aduate them a t the age of 18. To get both a h igh sch ool and college educa tion in three years, t h e m ethods of t eaching a nd type of studies h ad to be changed. '!'he whole theme is based on t he idea that t h e pupil learns only w hat w ill help h im in life. I n h istory, f o r ex a mple, no n ot es a re t aken n o d ates me mor ized, only t he trend of history, and t he happening or events that will actua lly help a p erson 's life are learned. Pupils do not choose their s ubjects, t ut are required to tak e cer t a in ones. T h e su bjects t a ug ht are t he ones tha t m ade the use of civilization , p hysica l sciences, ph ilosophy, liter a t ure, a rt, music a n d writing; they believe that a s tudent should not only be a ble to thin k but also to put h is t h oughts into w ord s on p ap er. A f ter the first y ear , no r ecords are k ept of a ttendance ; n o g rades are given and a pup il · is j udged entirely upon the fina l examinat ions, which is not a fact t est, bu t r ather a test wher e t h e s tudent is a sked qu est ions t h at will make h im t hink a nd w r ite his own v iP-ws on t h e subject. R obert H utch ins ' pl an sounds pretty g ood here, a t least it does to me, but h ow it will be when t he finished products of h is s tudents are revea led, rema ins t o he seen . You must adm it tha t there is a prcblcm here wl1ich ever y boy and girl w h o is iu tere::;ted in h i;;; own Iuture .iwi.i.W ~• ..-..

and I t h ink this is the way t he boys want it. B ut su r ely there is g oin g to be some r esult w hen

,• mall liue draw ings in ink slio, ,·_ in g a diun, and samples of ldter-

a ll t h ese boys m iss th e cha nce of atten ding a university, or college or a t least a chance t o establish t h emselves in business at an early age. A f;Can t few will g o to college after their r eturn from th is ·war and t hose who g o into the b usiness w orl d w ill be handicapped by their la te st art, a n d the high n umber of ot h er per sons look ing f o r t he same thing they are. This is a n ini por t a nt prob lem ;rnd a. solution should b e fo und for it . Sin ce it is impossible t o ask t h e a rmy t o s top taking 1!1Cn of t his p ar ticular g roup , some ot.her wa y m •.1s t be fo und. \Vould it be possible t o give the st udent a thorough education before h e reach es the milit a r y age ? A man who suggest s a pla n a lon g t his line is the president of the Chica g o univer s ity, Rober t H u t ch ins. Ch icago universit y is not only one of t h e r iches t u n iversities in the world, but is wha t you might call a pacem a ker , a u n iver s ity that t r ies a ll t he new t r ends.

'Work Thai Englis,h Students Are Doing Is Invaluable,' stales "ftilr. McConnell "Work that the children of England are doing is invaluable," stated Raymond A. McConnell jr., editor of the Nebraska State Journal, who recently returned from Engl and. "City schools have been joined with country schools for protec· tion from bombings. The combined school is run in two shifts, city pupils and fa culty going in one shift, while country pupils and their faculty go in the other shift. "Holidays h ave been stagge1·ed and vacations lengthened so that the students may give assistance in farm labor. The war agriculture committee has opened summer camps on the school campuses, giving farm labor training and having pupils work on farms." While Mr. McConnell visited England, the big job was harvest· ing England's immense potato crop. The pupils' school schedule is staggered so that one school has a holiday when help is needed on some of the farms. School buildings in cities that have been evacuated are now usef for feeding wa r workers. These are controlled by the Englii;h government. Some of the schools that ha,·e not been evacuated continue with these fe eding centers in them.

"The reaction of the students to this opportunity will determine the outcome of the project," stated Mr. Mardis. "If t h ey fa.vor it, we will do everything we can to carry it through."

wearing civilian garb and · hiding all their precious archives and maps from the victors. Almost at once, after the armistice, Hans von Seeckt started rebuilding the German army. Being . limited to 100,000 men proved little difficulty for it was merely turned into an officers training · school. 'Killer' von Block started an underground, and thus secured munitions of all sorts, and enough money to start an efficient espionage system. Secret negotiations soon were transacted with Russia, whereby it was possible for army units to train in the Soviet Union. No wonder Russia was such an excellent vacation resort for German generals. In the 1930's the General Staff was sufficiently organized. to bring in the stray German sheep, who were dL; gustingly pacifists. This was done by the selection of a small political party, the Na7-is, who were under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, a former German paid spy. Next, a complete program of propaganda made Hitler the supreme power of Germany, while in reality the General Staff sat in the background and gave orders . The Nazi party and the staff were to all appearances completely divorced. Our own count.i·y played up this idea, our movies, magazines and radio made the Nazis the cruel unjust monst~r, while the German officer is frequently a mellow gentleman whose kind heart makes us sympathize with him. This war, according to Mr. Moore, is already lost for the General Staff. Hitler and the Nazis will be the scapegoats, and the German General Staff will be left to plan World· \Vnr III. Do you tl1i11k, we . th e futu1e citizens of the Uni ted Nations, can offset thi3 evil force?

Hi-Point of View

Will there be a World War III? T hat is a current universal quest ion on the tongues of millions of people promoting the allied cause. Soldiers ask the government; quiz programs ask distinguished authorities; and we ask one another. The general trend · is t o accuse the much publicized enemy, as the Nazis or Hitler and the Shintois t or Hirohito. We say that once we eliminate them we can proceed to draw up an everlasting peace. But is that true ? During Wol'ld War I, it was the Kaiser who enraged the world against Germany. Today we have Hitler. The Kaiser was banished as was his regime, yet the minds beh ind the German war-craze, the minds which have wrought and waged five bloody wars in one century, slipped through the fine n et that was dragged across Germany. These war lords are the German Gene ral Staff or the German Junkers. Eric Bra mley -Moore, an American citizen who. under an assum ed name spent much of his youth in Germany and who later was sent back as a. representative of an American bank, tells in an article printed by the Readers Digest in February how the Germans, mistakenly assuming he had come to give them loans, had taken him into the more exclusive government and military circles. Thus he was afforded an opport unity t o observe the organization of the German ·General staff. This staff, he says, consists of some 20,000 Junker families, who have officered the army since the time of Frede rick, the Grea t. The lead ers of this group consist pri1mn ily or the '"vons," such as ,·on Bismark, von Hindenburg. van Block. etc. The J11nkc1·s esca p-:!d notice after the last world war by

Let's Prevent a Curfew Law; Cooperate With City Do we realize the important patt \\·e are playing in the civic affairs of Lincoln? Yes, we . are playing a very important part. At the present time a cmfow law for boys and girls eighteen years old and under is being proposed. This law is being pToposed because we, the young people of Lincoln, have done things which necessitate a law such as this. One the city 's big problems is girls and boys out on the street, at 11ll hours of the night witlr apparently no reason, but just walking since there is nothing else to do.

Former Links Athlete, Staff Member No'w Commando Head at Fort Knox "We teach men that complete coordination and team work mean the difference between b eing alive and fighting, or being just another body on the battlefield," stated Lieutenant William Wiley, '38, former Advocate staff member, football player and track man. Lt. Wiley, stationed at Fort Knox, Kentucky, home of the tank corps, is in command of the 1,1.ssault detachment with ten officers and forty non-coms under him. vViley was ~ommissioned a second lieutenant in the armored corps when he entered the service in May of 1942, after having university R.0.T.C. training, and has been promoted to first lieutenant. The assault detachment has charge of teaching commando training to men just before their departure for the battle fronts. These men spend three days under the direction of Lieutenant Wiley and his men learning judo, knife fighting, street fighting, :storming positions, etc. Lieutenant Wiley and his men have built a makeshift village for street fight ing. pill-boxes f01· storming and grenade practice, trenches, battlefields, etc. All battle conditions are simulated, using live ammunition, bocby tra ps, mines and even r eal enemy fire. An example of this is the course over whieh men must crawl on their bellies with live machine gun fire whistling just 18 inches above the dirt. "The assault d etachment ," rPn1arked the lieutenant, "has built and maintained the village, with

some help from the engineers. The village, which is used for teaching street fighting, consists of several make-shift, frame-work buildings, a couple of bridges over a ditch and a fake communications sys· tem. We have to rebuild most of this village at least once a week as it is subject every day to gun fire and mines. One building is built especially to be olown up. In some of the windows of the other buildings dummies. regula ted hy trip cords, pop Hp, representing the enemy." All types of guns are used by the assault detachment, such as rifles, carbines, sub-machine guns and stationary machine guns. Pistols were used up until about a year ago. F lame throwers are also used in practice storming pillboxes. Grenades and Molotov cocktails are used to attack positions and tanks. All kinds of land mines are laid and taken up by the .men. Due to constant danger of injury, when using live ammunition,

Simple, Aren't J17e? The other day was a nice day, rather warm, and for lack of anytning else to do I began to tnink of the differ-ent types of people. It's funny the way people live their lives; some people can lead an exceptionally simple life, simple actions, simple thoughts, but yet appear complicated and happy. Others lead a simple life, and appear simple. Some lead a highly involved life and yet make it a.ppear simple and some lead a simple life and make it appear complicated. Naturally you don't understand the above. I don't either. I'm one of the simple complicated people. -By Bob McGehee.

Pupils Will Be Prepared When the Time Comes

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1944

Open Forum To the Editor: I believe that some people fail to realize the hard job that a teacher has to do. Because they are bound to become irritable once in a while, I believe that teachers should be given a rest period some time during the day in which to relax and do what they want to do. Pupils also should do their best to cooperate with teachers. As the present system stands, teachers come .early in .t he morning and are at school sometimes until late in the afternoon. Working such long hours they may lose patience with their classes. If they had a free period each day they would be in a better mood and be more able to teach pu pils. This plan \rnnld be beneficial to both tcaclH~1 ·s and pupils . KAY KINSEY.

Between the Book Ends By Wilma Jean Lumley If you want a book full of real

American humor and just enough philosophy to make it worth while, read "The Vanishing Virginian," hy Rebecca Yancy Williams. Miss Williams has written a fascinating book about her family and friends in the little town of Lymhberg, Virginia. H er father, Captain Bob Yancy, storrn s Uu ·ough the pHges of this book as a Commonwealth Attorney in such a manner as to steal the heart of ever y reader. Just h is opposite is "Mother ." serene yet spoiled. She had never submitted to any great amount ·of discipline and once burned the cherished family letters from Thomas Jefferson while thoroughly cleaning her room. Another excellent book is "Exit Laughing," by the irrepressible Irving S. Cobb. In this autobiography he reaches the height of satire and humor. He tells the story of his ancestors and relatives dat ing back to great-great, etc., etc., Grandpa Henry Cobb who "looks just like him." He says that the resemblance is not his fault- just hereditary. But these aren't all the books of humor in the library. Cornelius Otis Skinners' books, "Excuse It Please" and "Our Hearts \\:ere Young and Gay," give he r expe· i·icnces in h e r spel:i~ 1 s t.ylf'

Three Leacock books also enliven the collection, "Laugh Parade," "Laugh With Leacock" and "Here Are My Lectures and Stories." "200 Vadimas," by \Vhite is another entertaining manuscript. i~;_:dng

Night and the junior play, will be staged at Lincoln high this semester. Joy Night will be presented March 23. 24 and 25. Tryouts for Joy Night will be held February 23 and 24, The junior play will be given April 21. So that the casts of the two presentations do not conflict; the junior plaf tryouts were held in the auditorium February 17 and 18. "Don't Take My Penny" is the title of the junior play to be presented by junior class members, coached by Miss Irene Martin, dramatic coach, and sponsored by Miss Josephine E. Wible and Miss Mary N. Bardwell. Announcement of the outcomtl of tryouts February 17 and 18 will appear in a later issue of the Advocate. From the number of acts trying out and from the variety which they promise, the Joy Night committee expects this year's show, to be the . best ever. There are 45 applications compared to 33 of last year. Out of these 45, about 15 or 20 will be selected. This year the ·setting will represent no specific place, and the committee says it will be like nothing the audience has ever seen before. All acts are asked to be prompt for ~pouts.

Eighty-one percent of the boys and 86 percent of the girls were willing to stay on a rationing system for several years to help feed the starving people in other countries. Forty-three percent of the boys and 42.9 percent of the girls decided .that the American army should remain overseas for several years to help establish order. Paying more taxes for a few years while the new world organization is being formed did not appeal to many students as 38 percent of the boys and 43.7 percent of the girls were unwilling. Forty percent of the boys and 42.9 percent of the girls were unwilling to allow foreign goods to come into this country free of tariff to compete with the things that we grow or make he.re, even if all other member nations of the world organization would grant us equal privileges. Fifty-five percent of both the boys and girls were wiiling to pool our army, navy and air forces with those of other nations to establish a strong world police force under international control while 82 percent of the boys and girls were not willing to place the Panama Canal under an international authority. Seeing a "flag d the world" fly above the Stars.and Strip,,s did not seem to be a pleasant sight to 78 percent of the girls and 75 percent of the boys who voted in the negative.

Girls Procure Office Positions "Al! mid-year seniors who took stenography courses

Lincoln

high have been placed in positions." stated Miss Alice Beynon. Of sixty pupils registered for the course this sem~ster, twenty-eight have already been placed in part time work. Seven of the first semester group are working in insurance companies, two at the agricultural college and others at the telephone company. board of education. offices of department stores and banks. Most encouraging item of interest, according to Miss Beynon, is that most pupils placed in part time jobs with firms before graduating, automatically get full time work after graduation. The fact that boys seem to shy away from this course is very unfortunate, as Miss Beynon believes it is a stepping stone to highly paid executive positions. Boys entering the service can use typing and shorthand to a great advantage. A letter received recently by Miss Beynon from a former student who had been pro.moted to the rank o.F. ~crgc. ant j1.io:t lJec;1u:->: of his ability to do office work, months, shows the value of this course for boys.

Tobin Takes Over Job Of Senior Treasm·er Jacqueline Tobin is now treasurer of the senior class. She. takes the place of William Reinhard who gave up the position for he is registered only for one class period in Lincoln high. William also attends the University of Nebraska.

After the poll was taken on February 2, ten pupils were interviewed as to the reason for their choices. Of the ten, Alice Babst, a sophomore, and Doris Vryheid, a senior, believe that rationing after the war is not necessary and the latter feels that the people of the European countries should be able to manage mostly by themselves. Of the ten students interviewed four were rather definite in their willingness to pay more taxes for a few years to aid the new world organization while the other six believe that it would create a greater burden on the American taxpayer. Interviews concerning free trade and tariff resulted in some interesting positions taken by the students interviev.red. One student, Everett Evnen, a junior, made the most plausible argument against such free trade, stating that it would lower our standards of living. The question of a world police force was enthusiastically supported by most of those interviewed. International control for the Panama Canal was favored by only one of the ten students who based his opinion against such international control 011 the most proper reason; that of national security. None mentioned the fact· that the Panama Canal allows a single ocean navy to protect our entire coast line from a single aggressor. The Stars and Stripes were agreed to be the only proper flag never to be subordinate to the flag of a world organization. Other pupils who were interviewed are: Ruth Saunders, Ruth Ellen Moll, Victor Bartlett, Rodney Cox, Barbara Strubbe, Donna rie Krause and Sid McVicker. Mari Krause and Sidney McVicker. 0 •

Student Poll Results Now Tabulated; Opinion Differs On Most Questions According to the postwar planning survey taken at Lincoln high on February 2 for the Institute of Student Opinion, the majority of students believe in helping the European nations with their food rationing problems, the establishment of a world police force with armies of other nations and to let part of our army remain overseas for a few years to help establish order.

Grayson, Dana ., ·011 Committee H. C. Mardis Talks To Representath-es, Council in Meetings Patricia Grayson and Irving Dana were elected to the student affairs committee and war committee respectively at the meeting of the home room representatives in 326 Wednesday, February 9. One boy and one girl from the home room representatives se.rves on the student affairs committee ·each semester. One of these is always the president of the repre• 3entatives, and since a boy William Mann, is president, a girl als•J se1 ve on the war committee. These are elected in the fall to serve for a whole year. l<~red Fuller was on the war committee, but he resigned because of secretarial and other outside duties. Helen Hummel and Irving Dana now share the committee duties. During the latter pa.rt of the meeting, H. C. Mardis talked to the combined group of student council, representatives and alternates about evening recreation facilities in the building. Applications for volunteers for the planning committee were passed out and those who wished to fill them out were given an opportunity to do so. Pupils were asked to offer suggestions regarding recreational activities popular among the student body. It is expected that the committee chosen to organize the activities will start work in the near future.

Teachers

Lincoln Wages Said Too Low On tile basis that school is among the priorities in the United States, higher y.·ages were asked for all school employees by Lincoln teachers, represented by Miss Fern Hubbard, pre~ident of the teachers' association and head of the distributive department, at Lincoln high, at a special .open meeting of the organization Tuesday, Febrbuary 15. One and three-fou1-ths mills was the amount asked by the association to be placed on the primary election ballot in April for inc1·casing the wages of employees. Nearly 250 persons attended this public meeting. In proving that school is a priority, Miss Hubbard stated, . "Through the schools are transmitted dozens of lines of communi· cations to build the health, cooperation and morale of the American people. Many emergency activities as well as the maintenance of the regular instruction a1·e all a part of the education of the child of today. "Schools are one of the most important agencies in building the post-war world. A better world is needed not only for those of us who may survive the period but for the children who are in the schools today. They will take t11e incomplete results from our hands and continue to work to make the world a place where the brutalities of the past few years will not be possible." Miss Hubbard went on to point out that wages of teachers in Lincoln rated low compared to· other cities in the United States, and also, that teachers were compelled to save from then· wages enough to care for themselves when they are retired. Several teachers and representatives of different civic organizations expressed their opinion on the mattter, durinr llie meeting.

Dues Are Abolished To Aid Membership By Forum-Round Table Candidates for the Faulkner cup, on which is engraved the name of the winner in the annual oratorical contest sponsored by the Fonun-Round Table, must sign up for this contest by Feb· ruary 28. Preliminaries will be held March 13 when judges will choose three of the contestants to present their speches in an assembly. The winner will be chosen from the three. Entries are being received by the sponsors, Miss Cea! Foster and .Miss Valeria Bonnell. Members passed a motion at the I:<'ebruary 14 meeting which will abolish the club di.1es. This plan was agreed upon because as it is now, all dues must be paid by the end of the first six weeks of a semester which makes it impossible for a person to join after the first six· weeks. This motion will be put before the student affairs committee for further discussion. Since the club is eager to secure new members, a membership drive committee was appointed which includes Pat Neely and Alma Paul. The committee will put slogans in home rooms and notices over the sound system to promote this drive. ·warren Roberts, president of the Forum-Round Table. also reviewed parliamentary procedure.

The Scribe Will Be Discontinued The Scribe, which has been put out every year for the purpose of exhibiting the creative writing ability of Lincoln high students, has been suspended for this year, since only nine persons registered for the creative writing course. English 13, when the required number was twelve, and because of the shortage of printing supplies and manpower. For this reason, the 1944 Links will contain a few of the pieces of creative writing usually appearing in the Scribe. A. special committee from writers club has been meeting for the purpose of producing an act for Joy Night, tryouts of which are to be held soon. Plans for Joy Night and the clubs contribution to the 1944 Links were discussed by the writers club during its last two meetings, February 7 and 14.

Hi-Point of View

BY ANNE WHITHAM.

Are we losing our civilization? In time of war, our country has to strnin all its efforts toward peace and forget about advances in better things for better living. Consequently, American culture is fading into the background. It seems according to reports gathered from all war fronts, that instead of advancing in human kindness in warfare, we're falling back hundreds of years in our fighting methods. wounded men back from · the fight, tell navy doctors. In the beginning of the big offensives in the Pacific, American hospital corpsmen went out unarmed, clearly marked as medical men, to pick up the wounded in battlefields. They didn't know the Japs, Nipponese soldiers made a special effort to kill all hospital aides to the troops. The ene1'nies would hold up a white flag and call for six or eight doctors and nurses to come over and help them. Then, when they arrived, they would shoot them. All hospital helpers, doctors, nurses, and corpsmen were considered special targets for snipers. Our boys couldn't understand this at first. but finally realized doctors were, in a sen~e. military objec tives. That is. if troops don't think they have adequate medical help and

supplies to back them

up,

their

morale would fall way down. In this way, the Japs were trying to lower their enemy's morale. Now medical men are armed and keep cover while going out for wounded. Soldiers are warned not to cry out for help and especially not to mention names. Japs are good imitators and would call out for help if they got the idea. The average fighting Jap has been trained all his life to fight to the finish and never be taken alive. Our soldiers want to live. Th9!"efore the Americans have to shoot first before the Japs do. When Marines would walk up to a pile of dead Japs to examine them, one who was only wounded would "play dead" until the Marine came close enough. Then he'd shoot. After several instances like this, the Americans started taking precautionary measures over the Japs to make sure they were all dead first. The only way to win is to clan them out, one by one, until there is no more danger, and until that time of peace, we'll have to go on with that business as long a s the enemy does. Then. and only then, can we enter wholeheartedly into the idea of mercy and-.J'IUtn9-n kindness for all,

Also at this meeting: it was decided to investigate the possibility of having a guest book for speakers who appear in Lincoln high assemblies. Several new committees were chosen including Roger Stewart and Waldo Hansen as head door· men. Mary Dye was put in charge of the scrapbook, Thomas Green was made responsible for the council box. Kathleen Blue was appointed hall guide captain, while Jackie Tobin was selected for the head of the locker committee. The safety committee chosen includes Harris Graves, Kathleen Blue and Neil Atkinson:· These new groups will preform their duties along with the former com· mittees.

English Teachers Meet in Omaha Lincoln English teachers \vill attend the Nebraska Council of Teachers of English meeting. at the University of Omaha, Saturday, March 4, for a 9:30 o'clock conference followed by noon luncheon. The 9 :30 conference will open with. a discussion by a parent, a business man, a college professor and a representative of the armed forces explaining what each would like to have · the student know about English when he leaves high school. This will be followed by small group meetings at which these ideas will be discussed. At the noon luncheon, each group will present a three-minute summary of its discussion. A speaker will be a feature at the luncheon.

From the Hi~

Point of View By Ja net Staley. On S eptember, 1, 1939, Adolf H itler ordered his armies to a t tack P oland , th u s beginning a war which has spread to all of the continents · and ocea ns of the wor ld. Hitler was strong ; t he Poles w e re not. In less than four weeks the P olish campaign wa.~ over ; World War II was just beginning. T h e defense of Gdynia, the heroic resistance a t War saw, are r emem· ber ed by th e Poles as Amer ican s remember P earl Harbor. Since t hen t hey hav e r esisted with utmost · courage in underground movements and g uerrilla bands. T oday the w or ld has cause again to r egard P oland in another light, t hat of her relationship to Russia and of her ultimate politica l stat us. T his problem of defining the boundaries of Poland , where no na~ tural barrier exists between Russia. and P ola nd has continued for 30 generations. T he qu estion of whether the P·olish Eastern border line or t h e Uli:raine a nd White Russia is essentially Russian or Polish in thought a nd ideology must be answr.red in the near fu t u re. On what basis can Poland and Russia agree is currently the headache of our government offi-cials, new s com·m en tat ors, analysts, edit orial w r iters a nd historians. T h_e Polish people have always loved freedom. F r om the fourt eenth t o the s ixteenth cen t ury P oland was a haven for the abused peoples of the wor ld as the United States is now. I n 17 64 under her last k ing, Stanislaus Poniatowski. who was a weak ruler, P oland fell under the influence of Russia. P oland for two centur ies has been t r ying to make a clean break w ith Russia a nd f inally succeeded for a short period af ter World War I. T he P olish people fervently desire to be free a nd to be g iven a ch a nce to reconstruct · a. gov Hnment under their own a ble leaders.

Vesper Concert Well Received Bonnie Compton proved h erself to be a v er y capable pianist in the vesper concert last Sunday a fternoon by her commendable perform ance of Gou ld's " Child P rodigy." The band, under the direction of B ernard F'. Nevin, gave good interpretations cif the marches. Due n o doubt t o changes in the s chool's registration p rogram which has caused would-be member s of both band and orchestra t o drop ou t, the band does not equa l in size t h a t of previous years. The boys' glee club, under the diredtion of Hugh T . Rangeler , has also suffered from t h e same cause, and is m uch smaller than in former times. Of the selections, the "Army A ir Corps" song was a bly presented. In t he la st part of the program , the g irls' octet under Miss H elen M.

.EINSTEIN ANGLEDOME

By Don Hays]

We almost had a curfew! Fortunately 'vi t h the new recreational program, the city is now trying, the action on the curfew law has been delayed. \Ye have ha:l m y cha1lce' to show we are capable of takmg ·are f t mselves without a curfew. At the ~ty e ionship games we were ';marching revi and some fell out of st~p. We \\'. tel in t e spotlight; the eyes , of Lmcoln 1Nefe upon us, and a few failed. The unfortunate disturbance after the game was not the fault of the entire student bodv but was excited by only a h andful of perso~~ who :L, i!.ed to rea lize folly, or cli•jH 't seem to care what the result might b e. Now we haYe another chance which will undoubtedly be our last. If 've fail this time, the curfew will more than likely become a reality. The ~mrfew la;y-~whe.irfIB:~sscl would fail to hold this han 1 c~ · The fun lovin(l' and respectab udentj> wou try and likel; succeed in ad· st 1g th~m · 'es to the circnm~tances, but t 1·e klesk'ould simply continue m the manner that they are accustomed to· paying little or no attention to restriction. ' The council fully realizes that we are under inental. strain during this ·war and fully appreciate the pl'oblems we are faced wit h. They are waiting to see if we can trinmph ov er these problems and lessen the sttain. So stop to think! Give the curfew a serious thounht ~ecause it is a tremendously sel'ious pi·obi°em Influencing all of us. Yes, we have a wim1ing t eam and school.

Petition Group Hears Of Programs

Discussed at a meetinJ(" of t.hPassembly committee

Wednesday,

March 1. in room 205. ·.-·as a petition which had been submitted to the committee. This petition read as follows''\Ve,

the

undersigned,

respect-

fully request llrnt a consideration be given to a ch;inge in the present type

of as~embly

programs

which hal'e hl'retofore consisted mainly of speeches." This petition was signed by 166 pupils, the majority being of lOA grade.

Each

made suggestions as to what type of programs he wished to have. Forty-three wanted a variety program, giving no idea as to type; 33

preferred

musicals;

"talent"

was wanted by 24; while "student talent" was preferred by 27 pupils. Other suggestions included comedy acts. motion pictures, plays anrl m118ic"l 1fandng "ombin~tionQ. Although the committee plans to make no change in· plans for future programs as they have ·been arranged, m an y according to schedule of school events, they should like to call the sr.hooJ's att . .~r!b~~ to th.e. .flclitrt! pro~razi;:-i • i the pai;t aud pcesent semester.

"Assemblies are governed by our schedule. Many are informative planned by organizations about to present a play or athletic events." explained Miss Jessie B. Jury, chairman of the committee. So far this year there have been eight assemblies at which speeches were given. Among the outstanding were Col. Hans Christian Adamson, Dr. W. W. Bauer and Madame Betty Barzin, the Belgian correspondent. There have been ten "pep" or athletic assemblies and two motion pictures, one on 'Walt Disney and one of the Victory Corps. A double musical program with pupil participation involving eight pupils, was pre.eented last semester as well as the Christmas music assembly, pre.eented by the choir and glee clubs. The larger groups, such as band and orchestra, always defer their appearances until later in the year, so they have been scheduled as future programs this semester. Student musical assemblies are very difficult to arrange. One of this type was planned for this semester but participants were too busy with heavy schedules and employment to appear. Miss Florence Jenkins is constantly. on the lookout for pictures which would prove entertaining and interesting for the pupils. The personnel of the committee includes Miss Jessie B. Jury, chairman; Mrs. Grace Hyatt. Miss Jenni~ Lou Piper and Miss Helen Stowell from the faculty and student members, Beverly Battey, Joan Farrar, Patti Hyland, Roger Stewart and Robert Wenke.

Regents Offering $85 Scholarships Scholarships to the lJniversity of Nebraska are again offered to high school graduates, by the Regents. governing body of the university. One scholarship, worth about $85, which covers the freshman year, is awarded to each school. A number of alternates, '1arying with the· size of the school, are also selected to take advantage of these scholarships if the winner cannot. Last year Lincoln had seven. Tests will be given March 27 and 28 at Lincoln high. There are three different tests, two on March 27 anri one on March 28, with H. C. Mardis supervising. Forty-three pupils had s11bmittcd their names by last Friday mght. January seniors ar-c eligible if they are also in the tt]:of r fourth of their class. 0

The order of procedure was explained as follows: the call to crder, roll call which is generally taken in silence, the secretary's report, treasurer's report, committee reports, the club business both unfinished and new, the regular business and adjournment. The duties of the varic"'s club officers were also discussed. The proper way to make motions and amendments was explained. General motions were then madP, for practice. The latter part of the meeting was devoted to the reading of characters by Miss Valeria Bonnell. The club members were asked to hand in samples of their handwriting and by the way the letters were formed or by the slant of the writing Miss Bonnell described the different personalities.

Red Cross Does Big Job for Service Men The American Red Cross orgar.;zation has proved itself worthy and then some, of its honored place in our hearts by the following statistical results, let alone the morale and the morals it has lifted. From March 1, 1943 to February 29, 1944, the cost in round numbers for the armed forces has been $982,500,000. This sum has served its purpose well m providing for our defenders hospital care, convalescent service, emergency supplies and blood plasma. The Red Cross chapter sponsors surgical dressings, assistance to disabled men and fami lies of this and past wars, and assistance to our prisoners of war. For our boys, now men, overseas, there have been many recreational and welfare activities provided. Out there in a foxhole, men whP.ther seasoned and tough, or green and scared , have plenty of time - thinking. Don Hays.

Some Don't Realize Value Of the Assembly Speeches A protest has been made by some pupils as to the assemblies which are presented to th~ student body. It would seem that they obJect to the speakers, and would like more mus~cal and various "talent" programs. Lmcoln high pupils have the opportunit v to hear speakers free for which privilege other groups often pay. This school is primarilv an educational institution and in presenting many programs, the object is to broaden the· outlook: inerease the knowledge and stirnuhite the mterest of individuals. What it does in the way of ente1:tainment is in addition. Pupils have ample time outside of school hours to obtain entern1.i nment in local theaters. A second point to be noted in connection .with the q~1esLion is this-tl1ere is a large number of variety assemblies which are consistent ~hroughout t he year, such as t he "pep" assemblies, yreYiews of plays, performances of schoo! musical gr oups, senior color day, and occas10nally .rn.otion pictures. Several pupils asked t o partic1vate in student talent programs have declined, which explains the lack of that type of assembly. S.chool is a pl ace to learn and we are fortunat e to have the opportunities to bett er ourselves. This will have been accomplished when we are able to fosten with intelligent attitude to speakers, and not feel disappointed when the progr~m does not meet our expectations pf enter tamment .

Work, Discipline, Faith Are Important Words "'York, discipline, faith ." This sign can be seen on many bulletin boards t hroughout Lincoln high.

A . lot of the gang got snowbound in Beatrice last weekend, but it seems there were lots of good times. Many of them were stranded so they . jus t stayed over to cheer the Red and Black on Saturday. A comment from the public came t o me the other day, and it was a direct compliment t o the student body of L . H. S. It said, "It has been a long time since we've seen the ~ portion o~ the students take such a paz:t; m the_ cheenng as they did in the Beatrice regionals. The Links boys' good cheering stood <>Ut immensely. Congratulations!!!" (Can we do that this next week, f ellas ?)

J.R.C. Playing Important Part "Junior Red Cross members are playing an important part in the nation-wide drive although they did ask fo:r solicitation in ·schools. .B ecause they are interested in the :success of the War Fund, they are carrying the appet>J to the members of their families at home.

"Few people are acquainted w ith the full extent .of the· services rendered in this country u well as abroad," stated Helen Hummel.

Donna Marie showed samples of t he boys' work, landscapes, pin-up girls, cartoons, designs for cars and airplanes, all of which reflect their moods. Many boys who come into the U . S. 0. were professional artists in civilian life, but others are like the lad who had n e ver . drawn before. but wanted something to occupy his time. He became very interested and disp layed a definite talenl "Any one can come in," said Donna Marie, "and many boys spend hours doing the thing t hat they h ave not h ad a chance to do since they entered the army, that is to draw!"

Nebraska City, Fairbury Humbled; Rockets Win Nip aQd TuCk Fracas Fourth Quarter Rally Too Much For Weyanclmen N ortheast 27 . Lincoln 24 ! That was the story of the Class 'A regiona l fi n a ls played last Satu rday night in the Bea trice . Muni cipal auditorium, as Coach Cliff Bosley 's H.ocket fli ppers turned the t ric k and came from behind to dow n the Lincoln high cagers in one of th e most torrid co urt b attles in the regional tournaments. The B lack and White's Cliff Squires open ed the scoring w ith a dribble in basket, but this didn't m ean a thing to Rodney Cox, who made good on a quic k pivot shot. From then on the R ed and Black led to make the count r ead 6-4 at the quarter mark. The Rockets outscored the Lincoln crew but were n ot able to take over th e scoring lead. Joe Laub pour ed in five of the six c o unters, Don Lincoln getting the other point. The Weya ndmen still led 11-10 at th e iritermission. Rockets Strong in Third. It was t he third st anza that put the Northeast f ans on their f eet, for the scoring spree the Bosley quint shoved through i n the fo:s t four m inut es proved a big part in the victory. Big Cliff Squires poure d in six of the nine counters t o give them an 11-19 lea d at the four minute mark. 'Spec' Klein, a substitute L inc oln f o rward, went in to break the one.sided m onoton y, and sifted in a one-handed side shot. .In d oing so h e \v as r ot:ghed l.lp b y 'D1.~ d e' Laub and given an extra shot. He made this count and put t he Lincoln five b ack in t he r u nning. From then on the Red and Black w e nt to town a nd pl ayed head s up b a ll, holding the Rockets score less for the rest of the third sta nza . Ha rry Meg inn is, Ga yle Lebs ack and Cox thre w in enough points t o hold a s li m 21 -19 advantage. In th e las t frame Lin coln was able to p u t in only three points, while Squires pfaced in six points, enou g h for the victor y . Ra lp h Grabis ch got the other thr ee points for the margin of victory. Squires p ulled a shot that went over the b ackboard and swish ed. This was probably the r a r est shot in the tourne y. B ig Cliff took e venin g 's scoring h onors with _1 5 marks. His g r eat d efen s ive work in g uarding Gayle Lebsack, made the L inks s uffer plenty. Lincoln

You can t oss a coin for the w inne r of t h e class A crown . Either L in coln, Creigh t on Prep, O mah a S ou t h , Northeast or ScoUsbl uff can pull some big s u rprises. In class B, Ho1y Name of Omaha, Sidney or York have too good records to do m uch saying, but I take Holy Nam e. Cla ss C w ill be a rugged , bloodthirsty event with E lkhorn and Desh ler bein g toris. T he Deshler he igh t may prove plenty, so we 'll take t he Golden Dragons . Hildreth an d Trumbull w ere the t w o seeded teams in the class D p airings. B oth have been in t he t op notche r s thruou t th e s t ate. The Hildreth quint was t he only five that could m ar Coach Ch uck Viorr a ll's fin e r eserve team_ It was a 28-2{ battle. Hildreth is our bet in t he lower class.

Opening Round Will Be Best Drawin gs fo r the fi rst round of play in 'the annual Nebraska high school basket b a ll champion ships resulted in wha t promises to be on e of the best opening night performan ces ever in the hist ory of the tournaments . The opening n ight throws together four of the top ranking tea ms. It finds L incoln high meeting t he currently top r anking Creighton Prep Bluejays. The Links w ill b e after a third con sec utive state title. No other team in histor y has ever won three crowns in a row . Their opponents, the Young J ays , have a r ecord with only two losses and the Omaha re gional crown. The Red and Black have won 11 of the pas·t 33 crowns a nd have bee n runnersup I n t h ree of the events. Th is record is better than any other team in the s tate can show. T he Northea st Rockets , w in n e r of the B eatrice regional and mid-east conferen ce c r own, drew the South Omaha Pack ers for t heir o pening performance. The P ackers h ave the M issouri Valley confer ence and Omaha city crowns to their credit . In the other opening r ound g am e s. Scottsbluff, Panhandle k ing and W estern regional w inner, meets Hastings, r unn er-up t o t he R ockets in the M id-East chase, ahd Columbus, w inner of its home town tourne y, e ngages a surprising· Kearney club, who knocked out a favored McCook five in the Scottsbluff trials . None of the t eams t ha t meet each other on the Thursday card h ave p la.yccl each ot her, w ith the exception of Kearney a nd Coi umbus. The D iscoveres handed the B earcats a 35-11 setback, at Columbus early in J a nuary . T he H i I I toper's Prep school a nd No rtheast w e re seede d into separate brackets a nd then Scottsbluff and Colu mbus drew for t he other two s e e d e d spo ts in th e brackets. F rom t hen Lincoln and Omaha Sout h drew for brackets posit ions . The meet can be an a ll-Omaha or all-Linc oln affair , w i th the first nig h t 's outcom e being t he decision. In the other classes t he -bes t first nigh t gam~s will be b etw een O rd and S idne y in Blass B , while "C" offt~rs a top-not cher be tween Deshler and '\Vakefield.

oy Night Acts Are .Announced Boys Debate Rounds Not Completed Lincoln Team In First Place Holding the best record, so far, 1n the Missouri Valley boys debate tournament, LeRoy Stoesz and Earl Comerford will return to Omaha for the remaining debate rounds, \\'hich were not completed March 10, because not enough teams had been eliminated. The two foams sent from Lincoln high were LeRoy Stoesz and Earl ComHford, and Wayne Swift and '.);'ed Sorenson, the latter of which was eliminated in the next to the last round. The only teams at the debate having only one defeat were a team from Thomas Jefferson, and LeRoy Stoesz and Earl Comerford from Lincoln high. The defeat suffered by Jefferson was given them by Stoesz and Comerford. Miss Florence Jenkins, Lincoln high debate coach, who was more .than pleased with the tournament, ,gives most of the credit to the boys, who, through their own efforts. got material for the debate, having only after-school time to work on it. Three more rounds are yet to be completed in the tournament. The date will be decided by the debate coaches in the future.

S. together were able to · see each other again because one found the other's name and knew he was in town. The Guest Book is of value to the Advocate for getting stories about the service men and the i;ervice men can also find out about their friends and buddies who have been home.

A.S.T. Tests Are Scheduled Exams To Be Given Today For Seniors Under 17% Years Tests will be given today to senior boys who wish to take them for the Army Specialized Training program. The boys who meet the age requirement and pass the test will now have a broader opportun· ity to qualify due to its substantial expansiori. Successful contestants in the March 15 test, who will be less than 17 years and 9 months old on July 1, 1944, and who have stated an army preference, will comprise the group who enter the Army Specialized Training Reserve program. These boys will be assured of at least six months of intensive academic work at college level before they ~ill be called to active army duty for their ha.sic training. After they have completed their basic training they may be re· turned to college for further study under th e A8TP.

Those whc am

'''Ss lhan 17 y ea!·s o.nd l) mcnth;;; on July 1, 1944, will receive a mini-

mum of 9 months college training linder the AST reserve program. Most of the students who qualify for the military s cholarships offered under the AST r eserve program will be placed in one of the following curriculums : applied sciences ; chemical and bio!Ogical sciences, preparatory to advanced m edical and dental studies ; mathematics and physics, preparat~ry to advanced engineering. Th e s e placements will be based on the qua lifications and aptitude of the individuals. A limited number of especially qualified students may be assigned to a n ew for eign language specialization course. A limited number of m en between 17 years, 9 months and 22 ye~s on July 1, 1944, who take the March 15 Army -Navy Qua lifying T est, will be select ed for the ASTP following their indu ction and bas ic military training. In ge neral those selected will be men of prior academic training which would qualify them for advanced engineering a nd languages of the ASTP. Those m en will be selecte d at the r eception center. The r eason for this substa ntial expansion is to replace loss of trained men r eturning to active troop duty of ASTP trainees . T he decision to r eturn ASTP tra inees to active troop duty is a military necessity, .thus making the exp a n sion possible.

Principals of the schools serve as captains, and building representatives carry on the campaign in each building. Stressing t he greater need of Red_ Cross funds this year, Judge Robin Reed talked to the faculty at a special meeting on March 7, on r esponsibilities and duties of t:he Red Cross. "More and · more men are packing the base . hospitals and they not only have to be treated m edically but their m orale has to be lifted. This job falls to the Red Cross." There is a big difference between civilian men in hospitals a rid service men in h ospitals, Judg e R eed showed. Civilians m ay re- . tu rn to t heir homes to recover com plet ely while ser vice men h ave no place to go and so must spend th; complet e period in tile hospital. This is where the Red Cross does a grea t service. They provide entertainment for the men a nd a lso bring . news from home. In ca se of sickness in the home the Red Cross finds out if it is necessary for the service man to return home.

China Is Facing Educational Reform; Laing Po Meng ls Studying Schools

Laing Po Men g, Chinese professor who is studying the American school systems, declares tha t the pupils attending s chools in the United States are given an opportunity ·for higher learning while the Chinese have t he "give and take " method. The scholar, who is doing graduat e work at the Univer sity of N ebraska, is visiting Lincoln high s chool cla sses and later on may te ach in special fields h er e. "No n ation is better t han its s chool system," sta ted Mr. Men g . "The democratic way of life is the desire to learn and democracy must extend beyond n a tional boundaries to insure peace in the p os t wa r world. "China faces an education a l reform because of n ecessity of movin g schools from the war t orn lands. Since Engla nd and European countries also a re subject to attacks, they are not able t o carry out a full schedule. Amer ica has this a dvant age over other countries."

nomically over t he east a n d west coasts, was Mr. Meng's opinion. Chop suey is cooked in Ch ina according to taste and a rt while here, it, like m a n y other foods, is cooked according· to science. China has the same food ru; America, but does not h ave as many varia· tions of t he s ame food. "l believe that the Red Cr oss is doing a marvelous job in a iding those who are in need," s aid Mr. Meng. Sports in Ch ina are the sa me as in this country, omitting the footba ll. "That game is too tough," h e commented, "and besides it's difficult t o keep t rack of the . ball. 1 like the spirit of the sport fans and their desire for their tea m to \.Vin."

He sincerely believe s that a man is no good w ith out a sense of humor. "Tha t's a majr-1· Wil..1...1.0 t !ul.t China and America have in common." Before comh1g to America four years ago, he worked for the ChinesP .school sys tems. H e switched from being the .dean of a college to the m ana ger of a motor car parb! stor e. H e also wrote for a Chinese n ewspaper . Mr. Men g was born in Fooch ciw and later went to Shangh a i. His name, Laing P o ·means calm and pea cef ul o c ..a.mc water. w hile journeyin g to his first choice of countries to study, which is America, h e passe d by Jap an and other South sea islands; He hopes to travel t hroug h Europe on his way back to China. One of the many ques tions he has been asked is about his lan· guage. There a re many d iffer ent dialects spoken in different provinces of tne China R epublic.. The Chinese language is made up of ch aracters. The hardest to learn is tha t . the wr iting is one thing and the speaking or saying ui..1.a.L. one Wrlt eS lS etu v 1..1.. ..,,,. The symbol for the. sun, and the on e which represents the moon combine to m ea n light. One s ymbol represents the word tree, ther efore,. three in a. pattern equal · for· est. Th e Chin'e se word for h ones ty is a man standing by his word.

Remember Joy Night; See Our School Talent

EINSTEIN ANGLEDOME

Don't miss Joy Night!!! Joy Night is one of the highlights of Lincoln high school's activities. If you've been wanting to sample our school talent. here's your chance. Probably many of your own friends will participate in the annual event and you'll get great enjoyment out of seeing Bill or Jane doing some crazy antics you would never have expected. It's really a night for joy. You'll find there will never be a dull moment This isn't something new; in fact Joy Night has been presented annually for about 20 years now. Your parents, aunt, uncle, brother or sister may have taken part at one time and they will remember Joy Night. They'll want to come. To ease the strain of war and worries Mother and Dad should have a good laugh. Here's, a good chance to get a real one. Grandmother and Grandfather and little Joe and Suzy will all enjoy it. Bring them all. Your 28c will be well spent if you invest in a Joy Night ticket. Better buy them soon though, because they are selling fast. Plan to bring the family and continue to Boost Joy Night!! !

Plant Your Garden Now; Later You'll Have Chow Do you want to do your part for victory? Of course you do, and here's the answer!!! Start now to plan your victory garden for this spring, to help raise food for your family. It is not too soon to start plowing the ground, get your equipment together and begin to decide what vegetables you are going to raise. Buy your seeds as soon as possible, as there may be a shortage later. R adishes and onions can be planted in four or five weeks without danger of frot>t. Perhaps you are one of the smart ones who started your tomato plants early this winter, in your basement; if not, it still isn't too late! Victory gardening is one of the small things Lincoln high school boys and girls can do to help in the war effort. So don't delay, start now, today, and do your part by producing food, a vital war necessity!!!

Slow Up in Halls; Before, Not After, a Broken Leg

We ran into some tough luck at the tournament last Thursday, but that team of ours played a swell game. It helps a lot t:o know that w~ went down .fighting in grand style. That overtime and those last few minutes of regular playing time had the crowd going "hog." E veryone must admit: that was one of the finest tourney games played for a long time! !

• • •

To the student body: Nice going on the vocals, and it sure was superb to see Northeast and old L.H.S. rooting for each other. THAT is GOOD sportsmanship!!!

• • •

Bob Ferguson seems to be letting t hat deal with Terry Gradwohl slip through his fingers. It looked okay from here. (What are you going to do about it, Bob?)

• • •

Floyd Leavitt, that drummer boy, and .June Fislar. that sophomore girl, have been going steady for quite some time now, but from a lot of angles it looks as if June has her eyes on old flame, Bill Mann . . . as for Joe Philbrick, do you really want an introduction to Joan Butler!! Quit burning, Ann Randolph . . . Herb McCulla is said to be diverting his attentions to Sally O'Shea, but what about J. F . . . . Joyce Dalton is the center of Don Gillen's attentions lately and Don is really falling overboard!!

Shortage of doctors and nurses h as presented a problem which can only be solved by the cooperation of the public to the fullest extent. Epidemics of all types are easily spread now, as buses, streetcars, trains, and amusement places are crowded to capacity. Every case of flu means that some harassed physician, who is taking the cases of two or three doctors now in the s ervice, must leave emergency and more serious cases to prescribe treatment. What may seem only a slight cold can develop into something much worse. One way to avoid spreading germs is t o stay homl) with a cold until fully recovered. Careless and avoidable accidents occu r constantly and sometimes cause considerable damage at school, ·especially where everyone is hurrying and the stairs and halls are sometimes slick. Pupils who slow down their pace and take it easy have t he right idea, for it may be that lad w;10 takes the corners at' twenty per who will be laid up with a broken leg for t h e next three weeks. In the laboratory and the shops, careless accidents are apt to occur. The home-front casualty list is high and the number of doctors is low. The American public need only to r ealize fully the gravity of the situation and it will soon be remedied, for that's the American w ay of doing things.

With the University Coliseum packed with spectators for the first night of the tournament, some of the best games of basketball in many years were played to very close margins. Not only were there good games, but also good sport smanship was prevalent in the crowd. Northeast and Lincoln were bound together fighting against a common foe. Sportsmanship from both Capital city schools was above par, with both schools yelling together against the metropolitan rivals. Northeast and Lincoln showed Lincoln and the whole state that they can be good sports, even when they lose.

"Twice within the memory of men now liv ing dreams hav e had a force strong enough to r esh ape the world .. , Thus began the p r elude t o Louis Adamic's book " From Many Lands," a simple book o.f the dreams of .the immigrant s that come to America and of the fulfillment of those dreams. ''From Many Lands," however, is no book of arguments or exposition. Ir.stead it is a collection of human stories told with the Rimplicity and the drama of w.hici1 M r . Adamic is capable. The h omliness of th e m en and women as t h ey live their daily life is a tribute to the eloquence of the author's pen. The life of E liot Stienberger, whose father made t he greatest meat packing c ompany in Amer- · ica, is dr amatically told. He was a Jew and hill all-consumin g h atr ed of the Gentiles was somewhat abashed w hen he m arried a Gentile, John Coions, the Greek who came to Tarpan Springs, and his t ale of life in Greece is vividly portrayed; J oy, grief and exulta tion sweep t hro ugh the book like a hurricane. How the Hollanders make t h e 'Pella' is especia lly good. Also included ·are s tories of ht e Japanese, the Japan-born father and mother and their children born here in America .

'All High School Students Subject To State Labor Law Are you under eighteen and working later than 10 :00 P. M.? There are many Lincoln high pupils working, perhaps you are one of the many. Do you know that state law concerning labor and the board of educations general policy regarding pupils? Pupils under 16 years of age must follow the state law concerning child labor. Pupils between 16 and 18 years of age should not be employed more than 44 to 48 hours, including the time spent in classes in school. Evening employment for pupils under 18 years should not extend beyond 10 :00 P. M. Any special arrangement for temporary, part-time employment must be arranged for, and approved in advance, through the board of education. Pupils will not be used unless the emergency is great, and unless older workers are definitely unavailable. The most important contribution that pupils can make to the war effort i:o m pursuing their own eciucat10n. There is need for intensified guidance, particularly at the senior high school level, in directing pupils into courses of study which will be most valuable for them in the war effort and in the post-war community. Part time co-operative placement of pupils in trades, industries, and distributive curriculums should be maintained at maximum capacity. Pupils should be encouraged to contribute their services out of school hours, either in volunteer war service, or in relieving the critical labor manpower situation due to the war, so long as the total number of hours worked per week is kept within reasonable bounds, consistent with successful school work and personal health. All pupil activity, whether voluntary or paid, should be made to contribute to the pupil's education, and it should therefore be integrated so far as possible with his school courses and his vocational plans. Where economic necessity requires a part-time school program, school guidance counselors try to keep the percentage of time spent in employment at minimum. and school attendance at the maximum possible. According to M. C. Lefler's annual report to the board of education, a survey . in October found that one boy worker out of six and one girl worker out of eight worked more than the standard maximum hours of War Manpower Commission! The median of hours of student workers is 20.5 hours and the maximum 59 hours in addition to a 30-hour school week! Maybe you can't believe that some of your fellow classmates are ambitious enough to work "overtime,'' but in doing so they are not fully co-operating with the rule set down by the War Manpower Commission. The standards regarding hours of employment for pupils 14 to 18 are that at the ages of 14 and 15 outside work on school days should not exceed three hours and those pupils 16 to 17 years should not exceed more than 4 hours on school days. Outside work on non-school days is eight hours at the ages of 14 to 17. At the ages of 14 to 15 combined hours in school and at outside work on school days the maximum is eight hours and for those 16 to 17 the maximum is nine hours. Outside work in any week when school is in session at the ages of 14 and 15 years ola should not exceed 18 hours and those who· are 16 or 17 years old should not work longer than 28 hours. · Pupils who are 14 and 15 years old should not work longer than 40 hours at outside work in any week when school is not in session and for pupils 16 and 17 years of age the maximum is 48 hours. There should be no evening or night work after 7 :00 P. M. for pupils 14 and 15 years old and no evening work after 8 :00 P. M. for pupils 16 and 17 years of age. Labor laws are put into .effect for the sole reason of protecting youth-by all means pupils should forget for the time being, about the profits to be made by working over-time during this war. Concentrate on· school at the present and your profits will show up in the future.

Shortage of Art Supplies Created By War Needs

Between the Book Ends

Admitting that the commercial art field has s·1 ffered because of the present world conflict, Miss Elizabeth Ferguson,

commercial

art instructor 1t Whittier junior high, in a recer.t interview, placed special emphasis on the directing of all strength toward war activities and the invention of new devices, which will speed the allies to victory. "The war has made a decided drain on art supplies, but we have not felt it too much as yet, probably because there were s upplies on hand.

And, to hold

supplies,

have made an effort to find and use materials that are not in d emand at preser.t. "The American public is aiding us in these critical times," continued Miss Ferguson, ''by demanding a simple poster which will g et across a forceful idea, rather than the bizarre type in common use before the war." After the ceffiation of hostilities, when the country is once again on a peacetime basis, Miss Ferguson believes that as new ideas are developed and need arises for posters, they will be in demand a s a means of extending new thoughts to the public. "The art supplies which will be in use after the war, should be superior to thO!le of today IJ." there \Yil1 he :nc v.r ].;,inJ,': -· of

.vork with. PIH-iti<:3, new :~xtfo:;;;, and a host of others will lend themselves admirably to the demands of the commercial artist. In conclusion, Miss Ferguson stated, that special stress would be placed on commercial art after the war. "It will be needed then. Now commercial artists are being used in war production doing map work, airplane design, working drawings, and many other jobs which are vital to the success of our war effort."

Forum TO THE EDITOR: Being the type of individual who wishes to express himself when a problem arises, I couldn't help writing this letter to the editor of our school publication. For the past week or more I have been reading the comments which Omaha and Lincoln reporters and columnists have been literally "throwing" at each other. Omaha claims that Lincoln was a poor tourney host and Lincoln replies that we are not the hosts, but that the University of Nebraska really is. Omaha raps out with the malicious statement that "Lincoln, due to the Red and Black quint's defeat in the opening round, was a 'poor loser.' " Lincoln pounds back with "despite the absurdity of the charge, the Omaha newspaper featured the 'poor loser' r ubbis h in its headlines." Call this what you may. I say it is a minority and over-shadowed by the good sportsmanship which was shown plainly by the two capital city schools in their efforts to cheer the . other into a semi-final berth. Our Links were in trouble and needed that combined effort; an effort that added a tinge of good sportsmanship in the eyes of the teams and the spectators. Northeast, a strictly J_:.:..;i. 11alf team was off the usual stride in thos~ last two stanzas anr1 ; e .ullst have meant ~ 6 .-.:at deal to them to knew that cheering was thunricrwg from both sides of the coliseum.

Floogle Street is tn the limelight this week as the backdrop for the annual Joy Night program, but it has been on the minds of everyone in the art and woodwork ·departments for several weeks. The Floogle Street idea was adopted from a setting in a New York stage production and was born r ecently in Lincoln high under the pen of cartoonist Don Hays. Innumerable people have labored on the background and here are just a f ew: Don Smith did a fine job on the imaginary airplane. . • Alice Jean Fowles has been painting the iceberg, which was put together by the woodwork classes. . . .

BY DON GILLEN. "Yes, Kitty Beaurepos may well have been the Edith Cavell of this war," were the words of Etta Shiber in her book "Paris Underground.'' Written on the Diplomat ship "Drottningholm" after an ex· change of German and American prisoners, Mrs. Shiber's book is an unequalled record of exciting exploits. After leading a quiet sheltered life for years, she is abruptly thrust into a n adventure whieh might as easily have ended in death as liberty. This marvelous story of daring, bravery and self sacrifice tells vividly of Paris under nazi rule, the cunning and ingenuity of the gestapo and an "inside story" of life in a nazi prison. William Gray throws the life of Kitty and Etta into high gear from the boredom existence they had been living. Being one of the few British aviators who had been over France and Dunkirk, he had been shot down and was trying to escape from the clutches of the Germans. The two ladies get their French friend, M. Chancel, to help the soldiers get across the demarcation line into unoccupied territory. Getting rid of Gray, they are thrown into another whirlwind when they find another Englishman in a French-nazi prison hospital. He wants to escape and they help him. This time, however, there are difficulties. The gestapo discovers the French undergrour:d helping the al!ied soldier,.: t o g·et out of F rance and t h e

A terrible epidemic ha.s broken out • Beware or you will be a victim! The symptoms are lagging feet, an itchy nose, droopy eyes, frequent sighs and an inclination toward love! Did you go around Monday with two feet on the ground and your head in the clouds ? Did you comb your shoes and lace your n;air? Did you eat your milk and drink your toast? If you did, you have it, and probably a hopeless case. Yes, kiddies, it's spring fever. Monday was March 2oth the first day of Spring. You can't escape it, love's in bloom, cheese in the moon. (See what I mean!)

Discussions HeldAtHi-Y Meeting Racial Proble111 Is Debated Adapting high school boys to a better understanding of racial differences was the task of a committee with Don Sutherland. chairman, at the Hi-Y meeting, March 15. It was pointed out that everyone should have equal rights in employment, voting and education. N egroes who have come to the North, it was shown in the discusl!lion, are ambitious, or they would. never have left the South. The people of America are dealing with two types of their race in the United States. One, usually called the southern type, is som etimes shiftless, and doesn' t want to improve, although there have been some notable exceptions. The northern Negro wants to better himself, get a better job and raise his living standards. The boys in the Army now are going to be aske·d to s tay overseas a s a matter of protection and w ill have to have a better understanding of the peoples of these countries. Discussion of "What About a Teen Town?" was led by Charles Wilson. Members of his committee showed examples of other such cirganizations in other s chools. It was pointed out that the High Spot is a definite road to improvement but cannot do all that should be don,e. Also there is objection raised to having it at the school. Some various th emes of d ecoration would help. such as a ranch house shack or international mode. The X side, captained by Melvin B everidge, won the m ember s hip d rive by 130 points to 120 points for Y, directed by Orville A nderson. The losing side will give a p arty in the near future for the winners.

Jacqueline Babcock, home room 303, has returned to Lincoln high after an absence of nine months during which time she was in Canada during the summer and then attended Missoula county high school in Missoula. Montana. Missoula is a fairly new school, being but five years 'old, and has an enrollment of about 1,200 students. "It's a small school, four years, and you take the subjects required and n eeded to enter the U niversity of Montana whic h is very close by. In many respects Missoula isn't much diffctent from Lincoln high," she explained. The high school has a P ep club to· which both girls and boys may belong. It also has a s tudent council president elected by the student body . Then each home room elects a presi.dent to represent the room and all the presid ents make up the student council. "When I left there ," Jacqueline continued, "the council was selling war s tamps and with the money was going to buy a plane." Missoula has a fine footba,11 team and is r ated state high school champions of Mont ana. J acqueline is very much impressed with the progress and s uccess of Lincoln high's High Spot, recreation for students. "We had a recreation c enter in Missoula too. The broadcasting station there turned over part of its building for it. The basement is for gam es, and the floor above is used for dancing and has a juke box," she said.

Air Corp Men Speak To (]uh From the photographic la boratories at the Lincoln Army Air Field, Sgt. John A. Gorechi and Sgt. John I. Long ca.me to the camera club meeting March 15 t o discuss the m ethods and e quipment of the Army Air Forces. In 1913 the Signal Corps broke up its photographic station in the Air Corps and made separate umts at each base. These units were no longer responsible to the Signal Cmps. ]from 1913 until 1916 no real progress was made in aerial photography, but in vVorld War I , it came into its own and established itself as a ren l science. Today the Air Corps has several different types of aerial cameras ranging from the K-20 which is 4x5 to the bomb spotting cam eras which are 9x9. "The ideal time to take aerial photographs," stated Sgt. Long, "is from 10:00 in the morning until 2 :00 in the afternoon. E ven under ideal conditions. especially if a t great h eight. a . red filter or infra-red film must be used to pene trate the haze." Sgt. Long also explained that if one photograph is taken of an area, it is called a pin-point photo, while if two a r e taken in sequence with a 60'i·o overlap. they are called a s t ereo-pair . The stereopair is then placed so as to create the s t er eoptican illusion. "In the Air Co1·ps you forgE:t photography as a hobby and get down to business," remarked Sgt. L ong. Sg-L. Corec!1 i ~ta ted that inost army photographs are taken with flash bulbs to insure the pict ure. " Color photog raphy," said Sgt. Gorech i, "h1Ls a g reat f uture, both in the ·a rmy a nd for civilian use. The army uses color extensively to detect h idden camoflage units." Sg t. Long h as been in the army a bout three years and had for the p reviou s seven years been in photograph ic work. Sgt.

As the topic of her special report, Elaine chose rubber, in connection with rubber m aking in the East Indies, whlcll w as a country being studied at that time by the class. To make the report more interesting she gave a d enionstration on the chemical process involved in making rubber, using latex, the liquid form of rubber, and acid, whi.ch 3he obtained from her father, a chemistry professor at the University of Nebraska. While intere~ted class members looked on, Elaine poured the acid and the J at~x iato a smali custard dish, stirring meanwhile wit!} a small . giass stick. Soon, to the amazement of hoth class a nd the t eacher, a small piece of rubber was formed, which r eally stretched, when being tested by the pupils. The only disadvantage of the experiment was the rather distasteful odor of the aci.d . Questioned as to why the experiment was performed , R a lph Hansen, history t each er. expla ined that any subject is in direct connection with history.

Fashions Shown At Joint Meeting

Miss Agnes Is Guest Speaker A Junior membership tea will be held, Sunday, March 26. from 3:00 until 5:00 at the Y. W. C. A. for all Girl R eserves and their mothers. A patriotic pageant will be presented by inter-club council. Girls from Lincoln high will furnish the instrumental music. Barbara Ebright will take part at the piano; Phyllis Pelton will play a flute solo and Aleta Snell will play a violin solo. "Be yourself, don 't imita te others," is the point Miss Agnes of a local beauty salon s tressed in her talk to the Gid Reserves at the March 20 meeting. Miss Agnes said it was foolish to spend a lot of time imitating others when originality was a great asset. "Beauty is not a gift, but it can be achieved," she stat ed. Styles for both long and s hort bobs wer e demonstrated by the speaker. She remarked s he was greatly pleased on seeing so many girls wearjng their hair short at this time. In her opinion she feels short h a ir is an advantage. It is more saniary and giv es the individual more bodily freedom. Also short h air is definitely the style for spring and summer this yea r. Beauty shop materia ls and cosm etics will become more scarce as these materi a ls have gone to war . Bobby pin and waving mat erials are being u se d for vital -.var ::mpplit;s. Lipstick ic h cin;; used to mark the wounded showing they have been given medical treatment. Miss Agnes remarked people h ere do not appreciate our free use of soap. In Germany an ounce bar of soap must last a month p er person for bathing and a ll other washing purposes. She urged the girls to use soap free ly and make cleanliness a t rait. She expressed herse lf by quoting : " Cleanliness is next to g odliness."

Presentation of the la tes t in s pring and summer tas hionH, was witnessed b y the home economics and business g irls club, in a joint m eeting Monday, March 13. Mrs. Ann Love, employee of Miller & Paine department store, speaking on "the subject nearest a woman's heart-her cloth es," explained the various changes in styles created by the ·,,var. A black dress. trimmed with red and white left over materials w as a good example of clothing conservation. "Short c o at s, jackets and sleeves, and low cut neck lin es are other examples which t end to conserve valuable material," Mrs. Love asserted. "Pinafore's . jumpers, s uits and s hirtwaist dresses, which t end to slenderize the chubby miss w e re suggested for spring." She also said that since g r een and brown are used in so many army supp lies, light pastels will again be f eatured. According t c Mrs. Love, the ever popular plaids, cher;J(.~ a.nd

Miss Agnes talk was brou ght to a close by showing the girls samples of the newest in hair accessories. Wide ha ir bows, bow s with flowers for evening and flowers, combs will be the style .

I\.ady Faulkner Speaks To Art Club "There is a certain way of building pictures that makes them either good or bad," stated Miss Kady Faulkner of the University of Nebraska faculty wh en she spoke before the a rt club at Morrill hall Monday, March 14. A painting is to stay on the wall, and not to act as a window, to look through. An a rtist has a definite way of moving one through a painting. A pa ttern is first and light and shade are secondary. A good drawing is most expressive of what the artist wants to say. "To my mind, an artist is not only an artist but a scientist," said Miss Faulkner. A painter can paint a nything from a garbage can to flowers. The subject matter has nothing to do with whether a painting is good or bad . "Don' t look for a painting to have m eaning all of the time but take it as a painting," commented Miss Faulkner. Painting is import.ant cturing w ar time to cr eate and show things of beauty.

Paper D~ive

Will Be Held March 29-31 War Committee Plans Contest Today begins the second paper drive which will last until Friday, March 31. The victory corps which is sponsoring this drive asks pupils to bring all the waste paper they can as the shortage is now more serious than ever. Four kinds of paper are especially wanted. They are : newspapapers, folded and tied into about 15 inch squares; magazines tied together; brown papers, corrugated paper board and carton board pressed flat and t ied: and pa mph 1 et s (without backs) stacked and securely tied. The bundles may be placed in the cafeteria corridor in the places designated. A contest will be sponsored by the central war committee. The home room which has the most paper will be given some kind of recognition. For the home room to have the paper credit, the home room number must be marked plainly on the top. The bundles will be checked each morning by members of the cen· tral ;,var committee and home room representatives during . first period. A report of the high home room will be made the following day. The paper will be collected and sold to the paper companies. The proceeds will go to the Junior Red Cross fund from which materials are purchased for making Red Cross articles needed in the armed forces. The shortage is so critical that H. C. Mardis stated there might not even be enough paper for the school next year.

Rotary Club Holds Co11test Three Girls to Be Rewarded for Best Of Own Creations To the three girls, from Lincoln high whose graduation dresses made by themselves are chosen as best, the Rotary club will award prizes. Three girls from the Northeast and College View high will also be honored. Bulletins were given to all senior girls in home economics classes containing information as to the contest, but any senior girl may enter even though she is not taking home economics at school. A bulletin of directions may be obtained from Miss Mildred Kemp, room 116, by those who plan to try. The dresses should be of a simple type, white or pa.stel , wearable for informal occasions and must not exceed $12.00. The contest will close at 8:30 a. m. Tuesday. May 16, and will be judged on May 17 at 3 :15 as each girl models her own garment. Wearing their winning dresses, the girls will be presented at the senior assembly of each school, and will be guests at a Rotary club luncheon on May 23.

Urge Parents to Vote In April 11 Pri11iaries The right to vote for civil officers and laws is a privilege very few people have. If for no other reason than this, each and every citizen of the United States should vote now and whenever possible. Now, especially, everyone should exercise this right, now when the outcome of the war may be at stake-when our future is a t stake. Perhaps you haven't stopped to realize the importance of the 1944 elections, but in the end it is a factor in the difference between your future as a free man and your future as a slave under the Nazis or the Japanese Shintoists. It's about time the American people woke up to their duty as Americans. Don'L just want a man in office. Vote and see what can be done about it. Urge your parents to vote. As well as choosing candidates in the primaries and the important choice Of delegates to the party conventions, a major issue affecti11~ e; ,·.;,1·y ;;.;.;~. :::~~ ,:; '.:.:: ~;: ::·. : !:.i:.,;~ 11 election is the mill levy for maintenance of the schools. E lections will be held April 11. T he final date for registration is March 31. Remind your parents to vote in all elections.

Easter, 1944, Symbolizes Beginning of 'New World' Easter season is rising in a full glory of pride and happiness in this prom1smg year of 1944. This year will go down i:n history as the time when the "tide turned," when this world began its flight from the pain and t error of a doomed past to the freshn ess and comfort of a peaceful future, with freedom for all mankind. This Easter will be the time for everyone to look back into the "dark ages" when fascism reigned- look back and laugh- yes, laugh at the artificial pomp and pride of the g reat Nazi dictator, who, in this year of '44 finds himself not the beloved fuehrer of men, craving power a nd wealth, but the mall: who h as made himself the most hated of all m en by the entire world,.- Easter will be the time for people to r emember the great d ebt t hey owe to those who have given their lives in a great cause. "Never in the history of man, h ave so many, owed so much to so few." This can very well be .t he theme of East er in 1944. This can very well be the thought of anyone who has the privilege of w akin g Easter morning to hear birds singing, instead of the explosion of sh ells and the whistling of bullets over-head--or the privilege of walking to church with his h ead held high amidst the glory of t he sun and the freshness and green of the new grass-instead of sneaking through trenches in the m ud, not daring to lift himself a bove the level of the tren ch for fear of being ca ught in the line of firethe privilege of enjoying himself on t his day, doing as he wants in the way h e wants instead of participating in a battle of des truction a nd suffering- t he privilege of worshipping as he believes instead of having commands thrown at him to obey. Yes, " so many owe so much to so few," and this East er of 1944 presents an opportune time to r em ember those f ew t o re alize how much nearer that peace and security, a nd freedom that t he world is so in need of, is this Easter t han it was last Easter. P erhaps by next East er , these things so hoped for will be realized complet ely- perhaps the s un will rise in a ll its glory on a world holding its head high with 'prideholding its h ead high and a nnouncin g t o the universe, "I'm a world of free men, a world wher e peace and justice reigns, where all m en are created equal. A world where everyone has a c han ce to s how his abilitv in doing the things he wants to do a nd the t hings that keep this civilization climbing toward higher h eigh ts !"

~lice Jean Fowles Wins Many Prizes

In Art; Likes To Rurnba and Swim "It naturally was a thrill to me, but my first real thrill came when I won a coat design contest at a downtown department store,"

claimed Alice JP,an Fowles, when asked how she felt about Winning first, second, and third and thre<i honorable m entions in the water color and t empera divisions of the Scholastic Regional Contest held in Omaha recently. Alice J ean also won second and third prizes in the Fashion Illustration department. . She ran a pencil through her long, slender fingers and contin·ued, "What really means s om ething to me is the N ational contest in Pittsburgh where I hope to win a schola rship to a New Yotk art school. My objective has always been the fine arts line, but I recently decided to continue throug h with the commercial field." "Yes, I want to go to New York," Alice Jean said, when

asked if she wanted to study art in the east. She rustled the pen· cil through her fiery red hair and thought her reason over carefully before replying, "I knc.w quite a few p eople in New York and th ~ y have told m e there are plenty of jobs, good paying jobs in the commercial art field." Then a more personal question drifted her way. "What is your favorite pastime when you are not sketching?" "I just Jove to r humba and I think the second best choice would be swimming," she replied, then shook her head when asked if she would demonstra te the rhumba. Alice J ean won the D. A. R. scholarship last year for c itiz enship, ambition, a nd hig h sch~l ar ship. She has had some instruction at the Saturday morning al't classes at the u niversity. Her specia lty is portraits a nd s he ha.s plenty of school time for t hose a s she is · taking two art classes this semester.

The m oral was to study Lati:i so thoroughly . that one may recall it in an emergency, as t he young man did when at the m er cy of a French waitress who knew no English. By recalling his Latin he was able to secure a very satisfactory meal. Susan Lancaster was the waitress ; Primus, who had studied Latin, Geoffrey Gass ; Secundus, who had not studied Latin, Roger Stewart. The announcer was Mary Desmond. During Latin week the students wear a tag bearing the pledge to the Flag printed in Latin. In all class rooms there is to b.i . found 9ne Latin motto selected from the fi fteen bona fide . Lalin m ottoes of different military groups such as the Marines' "Semper Fideles;" the Air Force "Sustineo A la s," etc. These are headed "Latin goes to War." The department is trying to tie up thoe subject with the war effor t. The importance of Latin is now being stressed because of the many soldiers who are g iven foreign language training for which La tin g ives an ess ential background. Cla sses during the week are slressing the value of Latin to the studen t prepa r ing to becom e a nurse, a physician or a pha rma cist, sho wing the r eason for these technical symbols being always expressed in Latin.

Reputation of School Depends· on Everyone Many persons seem to think nowadays that "kids of today are thoughtless." This opinion may, in truth, have some substantiation due to the carelessness and thoughtlessness of a minority of pupils. ·. . Though this group may be in the minority, 1t appears to outsiders to be in the majority, because, as human nature would have it, the discourtesies are noticed more frequently than the courtesies. To prove this point, take the example of a boy who decides he is too tired to offer his seat in a crowded bus to an elderly woman. In all probability, this would be noticed by one or all of the occupants of the bus, and to each new person getting on. Now reverse this process, and take the example of tm boy who does offer his seat to the woman. He would not be applauded for doing this, but deep back in his mind ~ould be a feeling of courtesy, a feeling unportant to everyday happiness. Though this may sound a little childish, courtesy is needed as much if not more in later life than in younger years. In days like this, parents are working doubly hard and do not seem to have time to giye full consideration to their children. This tact c.tte r. rc::;uas in a broken huiue, giving the child the impression that he is no longer ·cared for. He, therefore, no longer gives any thought to the welfare of others, considering only his own comfort. The basic fact behind courtesy is thoughtfulness. Thinking of the welfare of others their ~roperty, their feelings, all adds up t~ one thmg-courtesy. Without that, no civilization is civilized and no person, an actual part of a community.

Dig, Hoe and Be Merry For Tomorrow You Eat Every day new things present themselves to be done by high school pupils to further the war effort. A Victory Garden is just another ·thing along this line that pops up every year about April, but what an important duty it is! When you stop to consider what a great task the United States has in feeding practically .the whole world, you begin to rf~ali ze t hat m ayh e a II this talk about raising food, and all these pamphlets on canning have a sensible motive behind them. Since it is estimat ed that the amount of canned fruits for civilian use will be reduced 43 per cent, vegetables 19 per ceat and fresh vegetables 10 per cent, it seems the only smart thing to do is to get out that spade and hoe and go to work. Since Victory gar dens are not altogether new to most Americans, it seems only probable that the produce this year will be ingreased greaty. Help comes from many sources when it . comes to making the best of your garden, and the nice part about it is, you don't have . to look for that help either. Classes are conducted in gardening by the adult homemaking department. Agriculture extension bulletins ma y be obatined from the Lancaster county agriculture agent. The Junior Chamber of Commerce will help gardeners find a plot and get it plowed. The Parent Teachers association will give help and supervise as it has in previous years. The important thing about garde ning at the present time is that it offer s another good way for pupils who are not employed full time to participat e in the war effo rt. Besides being a pat riotic service, it is interesting and healthful. If it is a beautiful' summer tan that you want, nothing gives it to you faster than hdeing and weeding a garden. Gardening gives you great sat isfaction in knowing you have complet ed a piece of work so important a nd exacting , and last but not least, it helps you to live better during war time, and it sa ves money t o put into war bonds. Last year 1500 Lincoln pupils who enrolled for home-school gardens completed their work. It's up t o you to make it twice that number this year. Enrollments began April 10, so make an effort to do your part and start making use of tha t "good earth" your an cest ors were given when they set ' out to found a "new world" of freedom. It's your duty t o your self and t o your country, and when yo u get right down to it, it's a privilege.

Hi Kids!!! Hope everyone had a really swell vacation!!! I guess there's no doubt about that from the reports I've heard!!! But now that we're back to the books again, here's a little news for all you guys and gals. . .•

... ...

The leap year party given by Lee Safford and Jeanne Zehrung during the "spring spree" was a great success with nearly 150 L.H.S. couples attendiitg . . . some of the dates unusual, others the same as always

. . . Joe Marvin with Pat Burnett, Anne Miles and Bob Deitemeyer, Nancy Lawlor and Bill Rolfsmeyer, Peg Lawrie and Bud Schaumberg, Phyl Steinauer and Paul ProVorse, Bob McGehee and Georgie Wythers, Rog Stewart and Kay Kinsey, Mary Dye and Maurice Cullen, Jeanne Branch and Johnny Boman, Sue Lancaster and Al Bergquist, Velma McGrew and "Nasty" Norm Walt, Phyl Hoke and Don Pegler, Virginia Kellison and Dugan Anderson and Kay Blue and Gene Deeter. From out Northeast way were Jim Weber and Frank Logan who arrived late with Mary Lou Ow and Willie Shandera, respectively.

.. ·.. ·... ...

Seen lately in a First Aid notebook: The purpose of first aid is to graduate!!! Can anyone tell an innocent ( ? ? ? ) bystander what happened in front of a certain South street restaurant one night during vacation to several L.H.S. fellas? I think some of the fellas would like to know the same thing!!! What is the idea of wearing sacks over your heads? Is this another new fad???

And speaking of Northeast, hasn't Huck Egger been seeing quite a bit of Blanche Forst, a cute little N ortheasterner? Could this be a serious thing?

Seen at the High Spot.

·As usual, the High Spot was a great success with a large crowd turning out. Julie Rathbone and Bob Ferguson, Faye Yonkey and Jack Wild, Shirley Bell and Norval Emery and Phyl Bottom and Dick Churchill seemed to be having fun dancing ... Phyl Harris and Paul Blumer had double fun during the evening by going swimming and dancing. Shirley B. Campbell and Anne Whitham ended the evening by leaving with George Budler and Whitey Colwell respectively.

... ... ...

A slumber or rather "slumberless" party took place on Saturday night at Sue Lancasters'. Also slumber parties at Suzanne Owen's and Jean Bogan's.

Some steady deals have been going on ·.tnr ;:;ome time ·.vithvut recogni tion a.11J they are between Mel Sinner and Marilyn Colhapp, Dan Hergert and Marge Coulter and Bob Bartlett and Peg Ellis. What about your brother, Bob? Seems as tho there's a difference of opinion! ! !

Hear from down Nashville way that Kay

Reese, now attending Ward-Belmont, has continued on old L.H.S. acquaintance with former Links and now Navv man Norm Lock who is stationed near there. I'm Through with Him.

I'm through with him He's not my guy I'll stick up my nose When he goes by Besides, I don't like him!! I'll make him sorry Just you see He had more nerve Doing that to me Besides, I'll never like him!! Of course I'm not jealous Why should I be ? Just because She's lots cuter than me. Besides, I never did like him! ! The day'll come When he'll appreciate And when he asks To have a date Well, maybe I will like him!!

Oh yes! !! The boys in the carpentry classes are bright students. The other day one fellow was told to hand sand a board. After supposedly sanding for awhile he began to realize his hand was getting a little r aw in some places. When the instructor came along and asked, "What in tarnation do you think you are doing?" the student held up a ver y red looking hand and r eplied, "Why, I'm hand sanding this board!!!" Smart fellow! ! !

·Has everyone seen the beauty of a r ing that Norm J ewell gave . Marge Meinhardt on Easter ? '

A belated good-by and the very best of luck t o Dick Hudkins who left for the Navy last Thursday. We'll all miss you, Hud!!

Miss Beekmann Visits Washington During Vacation "Although the White . House look.s serene and peaceful, people are not ailowed to walk directly in front of it, but must walk across the street, as there are guards protecting the front lawn," said Miss Emma Beekmann on her return from her spring vacation trip to Washington. The city is almost taken over by WAVES; there are more d them than of any other branch of the armed forces for women. Miss Beekma nn said, "The sight that gave me the most plea.sure was seeing the cherry blossoms in bloom along the Potomac and the large magnolia tree which was in bloom on the .White House lawn." Miss Beekmann viewed t!'le empty Senate Chamber and house. Bec ause of the war she. wa s not able to see the original draft of the Constitution, but rather a facsimile. In the Mellon Art . Gallery, Mis s Beekman saw the paintings by Degas, Monet, Van Gough, Renoir, Rembrandt, Van Dyck and Gainsborough. For entertainment she saw the musical, "Connecticut Yankee," which she said in her opinion wasn't so good as our "Joy Night." She also saw Blair House across from the White House where Lincoln offered Lee command of the northern armies. The large senior high s chool that Miss Beekmann visited was similar to Lincoln high in r espect to the Victory Corps. She did say, however, that class recitation was more formal.

Peace, Happiness and Brotherhood ls Topic Of Winning Essay Written by Wallace Becker Mark Twain, educated in the

not admire him so much for winning the war as for ending it. Peace . • . • happiness . . . . brotherhood . . .. that is what we want in this world." Mark Twain, who lived and wrote of the free, the democratic way of life, exerted a powerful influence on the American people. He knew that the only life is the peaceful, honest, true life. Twain Is not alone in these beliefs. Plato attempted to create a republic founded on peace and harmony; Aquines sought to trans.plant heavenly peace to :i war-weary earth; Locke strove to achieve freedom and peace. Philosophers, theologians, poets, mus1c1ans, scientists, statesmen have . pondered the problem of peace and its attainment, and their conclusions are that peace is the only solution to the world's ills. Only in an atmosphere of true peace and harmony can man a chieve his goal-happiness, accomplishment, bortherhood. Why, if such great men have dedicated their lives to the furtherence of world understanding (which is world peace ) , is there no peace? Is the problem insoluble? Is it man's destiny to disrupt the structure of society every quarter-centm·y? W e have no peace, nor shall we attain it , because the peoples of the world have not wanted it strongly enough to establish it. No

Between the Book Ends "Subchaser Jim" For those who have read "Swor dfisherm8.l1 Jim" by Josef Bel"ger, another exciting actionpacked novel is "Subchaser Jim" by t.he same author . The hero is the same Jim Ellis and will be welcomed by most of the boys in his new war-time role as a destroyer of enemy submarines. Jim, now eighteen and skipper of the crack Gloucester schooner, VASCO DA GAMA, jo ined the .naval intelligence ser vice as an officer and received orders to combine fishing operations with observation of submarine activity off the New England coast. ' His commission was offered h im after he'd caught one of his c rew members signaling a st.range ship. At a certain signal t he other s hip lower ed som ething into the w ater attached to ,a buoy. Later investigation pro~ed it to be a n ew U. s. torpedo model which Jim turned over to the authorities after successf ully outwitting the nazis who tried to recover it f rom him. For a thrilling war novel r ead "Subcha.ser Jim" by Josef Berger. "This Exciting Air." "I have no intention of glamorizing the ever more serious busine ss of test flying. It is not glamorous," is the statement of Boone· T. Guyton in his new book, "This E xciting Air." In this story of his own career , Guyt on tells why a man becomes a . test pilot and, m ore important. why h e sticks to it. H e m ust first not take the attit ude "it can't happen t o me"-it can. Instances are trying t o land a beautiful new ex per imental ship on a golf course instead of a clump of t r ees a nd no t quit e g etting away with it, or diving in to F r ench antiair craft guns so the gunners can practice and having the motor fail as he pulls out w ith no field in s ight. It is t he a uthor's vivid description of his thoughts and emotions at the time which make up this un us ua l but interesting book.

"World peace begins with the tiniest fraction of an attitude," begins a charter drawn• up by a group of young people. One's attitudes, his thoughts determine the kind of person he is. As a person thinks, so he is, and does. A nation or world can a ccomplish no more tha n the indi vidual citizen; that is the truth which world planners and peacemakers fail to realize. The governmen t of a democracy must minor the opinion and ideals of its peoples- that is how important are the desires and beliefs of each individuals. No matter how just , how honest or how logical a peace agreement, it will fail-unles s every citizen of every state realizes its importance and deter mines to achieve peace by his own actions. The Golden Age of Athens w as a time when men were princes, in attitude and action. The Era of Peace need be no idealist' fantasy, no dreamer's idle wish, it will be a reality when each individual makes himself solely responsible for its preservation. Following the war, leaders of the United Nations will be presented with the opportunity t o carve a peace everla s ting; This cha llenge must be m et, and be met with the greatest answer which we can give.

N or can n ations "return to norm alcy", sink back into sluggish isolation. That was tried last time. "It must be a peace without victory, " declared Woodrow Wilson. It must also be a peace of justice, mercy, honesty and fore• sightedness. It is absolutely essential that there be a sense ot mutual trust. Americans must trust Stalin and the Russians, and vice-versa. There can be no fin• gers crossed behind the backs. Many have wanted to be spared war-as if the absence of war were the same as peace. The peace which each state, each person must work and live for, must be a n era of brotherliness, h ence, one of happin ess. The most important and responsible matter which w e as individuals, as a nation, as a world must face is that of proceeding ·from victory to peace. "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children ot God. "

Nebraska City was third with 14, While Beatrice, Crete, Teachers and Wilber finished in that order. Because of the size of t he indoor path, the 120 yard high hurdles, the 200 yard lows, the century dash and the discus were not hP.ld. Both of the hurdles were run off in 60 yards and the 100 was replaced by the sixty yard dash. Dick Piderit, Lincoln weight man, featured an early win for the R ed and Bla ck with a toss of 49-2 with the 12-pound shot. This mar k se t a new meet r ecord, replacing the one set by H a rold Becker las t y ear of 45-2. Dick had one heave n ear 51 f eet but barely fouled. Other new meet record was th a t set by Hal'ry M eginnis, Lincoln, in the broa d jump. He nipped Sond eregg er's of Beatrice record mark of 19-6 1.I.! with a leap of 20-6. He was the only Lincoln m a n to qualify for the sta te finals in this e\'ent. Ben Munson, Lincoln, had distance of 20-8 but crow-hopped. Meginnis also sha r ed first place with Bob Ferguson in the 60 yard d ash, run ning in h eats a gainst time . T he boys h a d time of :06. 71.

Cade of Teach er s placed third. Huck E g ge r, Links, w as bum ped in to the wall wit h only one lap left to go, hit his h ead and was out for a minute. In the ha lf mile Dua ne C ade of Teachers nipped Tom Zichek of

Dick Hudkins left a week ago for h is Navy boot training, . . Lu pe A re nas is now in San Diego, getting his boot in the Marines . .. Home last week on furlough was Bob Gle n, January '42 grad, who sta r red on the Lincoln high footba ll teams of '4 1 a nd '42. A letter from J ack Donovan to Miss Farman several weeks ago g·ave his thoughts along w ith th e r est of t he sports writ ers a nd t he st udents that p rotested F rit z Daly' s digg ing a t t he sportmaJ\ship of the Lineoln high stude n t body. Daly gave it much crlticism a nd increased the a n nua l fe uds th e Om a ha and outs t ate schools hold against Lincoln. "This yearly squa wk by all the pape rs in th e st at e ma kes me laugh whe n I can view it a s an .o utsi der. It brings back me mories to m e because just one year ago the pa pers we re again popping off on the same subject.

T hings around sc hool have quiet ed down on thill subject, but next year it w ill proba bly pop open again. One of the big reasons f or this squabble is that all of the outstate s chools do this beca use they can't bea t L in£oln in the field of sports a nd t he people get t ired o f one school ot her_t han their own w inning all of the tim e.

If the boy enters s chool after the l l d ay limit in any semest er, he rna y participat e in a th le tics during tlta t semester a f ter he has been in s ch ool for four weeks . Tha t is, he may be certified after the end of the t h ird week fo r participat ion at t he end of the _fourth week.· _5. The boy will be su bject t o all o ther eligibilit y r ules as to a ge, s emesters of att endance . etc. (at tenda nce of 30 or more days du r ing a ny semester or parti cipation in any f irst t eam game d ur in g ' that sem ester shall count a s a s emes t er of att en d ~ nee ). 7.

From the Hi-Point of View By MARJORIE ANN MAHR Does Rationing Affect Our Health? When there was no war in our country a third· of our people lacked peace time ration points. What are peace time ration points? They are ration points in the form of dollar bills for purchasing a diet which is rated good by nutrition scientists. During the same time that some were starving, others were well fed, overfed, or expensively fed. You may wonder what being expensively fed is. Well, it is just what it states, for it is possible to pay high price for a diet that has little or no nutrition in it. This type of diet, however, has in these war times more or less disappeared, for even if a family has the money · to buy an expensive diet 1t would hardly have the ration points. In 1935.·39 ea.ch person in the United States ate 5~> pounds of beef in one year and this rose to

pounds in 1941-'42. If the rationing would not be on thil! year these figures would prabably l'aise to 72 pounds or more in 1943-'-H, In 1935-'39 each person consumed 806 1,2 pounds of milk, and milk products in one year. In 1941-'42 this increased to 846 _pounds. In 1943 because of rationing this was cut down to 769 pounds per capita. Don't let the above information be misleading. Just because the amounts consumed while rationing is on decreases, it does not mean the people in the United States are eating inadequately. In fact, it really means they are being fed probably even better than before. Food is being distributed more evenly .among the people and upper-income people are not buying . according to · price, but according to points. For this reason there is less malnutrition among the people of today than those a few years before. 60~~

Needed-Scrap! Scrap or no scrap! Friday, April 14, there were 775 pounds of scrap paper turned in. Of all this, home room 109 had 115 pounds. Second and third were home rooms 116 with 84 pounds and 103 with 58 pounds. Each home room ought to bring in at least 100 pounds. Just scour your neighborhood for paper, tie it up and bring it to Lincoln high school.

Responsive Audience Caught in Mood Of Gay and Co111ic Antics of Actors

Casting of the junior play, "Don't Take My Penny," was well balanced as was shown in its presentation Friday night when a responsive audience caught the mood of the gay modern comedy involving the antics of "Teen· agers."_ The humorous Penny. played by Nancy Gish, had ideas of becoming a . movie star. These ideas wern encouraged by Joanna. Betty Glissman, who helped Penny with her acting. Joanna was with Penny during most of the play and kept her down to reality. Kerry, ably played by Ted Sorensen, and Greg, Harold Engs~ trom, provided most of the comed·y by the "wise cracks" and pranks of typical . high school boys. Greg's ideas for keeping Pe1my from .going to Hollywood ha<; Kerry in hot water most of the time.

Three to eight percent of this food is wasted from restaurant management and 6 percent is left on the plates of their patrons. In 1942 we wasted as much food as we set aside for our armed forces and Lend-Lease shipment together. You can see by this that we can increase food · production greatly by just starving the garbage can a little more. One slice of bread saved weekly in each home would mean two mil· lion more loaves of bread to eat weekly.

This actor actually laid an egg while being kept in the high school greenhouse Friday morning before the play. The climax came when Gram. Beverly Sievers, who knew what was going on in the household finally straightened things out. Harrison Day did pick the ·actress for the play, but it wasn't Penny who was picked. It was Mavis, played very well by Ann Randolph. who always was sacrificing ht>rself to help her brother and sister. The press agent.

Upholding Democracy Is Loyalty to Country "The Country is the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing, it is the thing to watch over and care for, and be loyal to." All that Mark Twain said in that short sentence is vital to us today. One might almost think he had dropped in on the present day world, loked around, and in despair left again, leaving us those inspiring words. Perhaps it was his foresight that brought them forth and maybe, just that history repeats itself. Nevertheless our loved ones are fighting today to do just what Mark Twain stated we should 63 years ago. A great many American boys already have given their lives watching over and caring for our great Democracy. These same boys only 10 years before were reading "Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Finn," stories of real American boys. Maybe through these characters of fiction, Mark Twain instilled in our youth, his love for Democracy. This leads us to the question what is a Democracy? It is a government in which control of affairs is placed in hands of the masses of the people. In plain language, a government of the people, by the people and for the people. The country need.:; .... management as does a family or factory. It needs a management as does a ship. Therefore our leader is elected by us. This form of government prevents and punishes misdemeanors and protects people who behave themselves properly against those who wisp to do wrong. In all countries there are and always have been bad people who would harm themselves and others unless prevented by something stronger than themselves. Thus. the government of the United States gives us freedoms. These are the things on which it is based and the things on which it will thrive. The people can speak and write as they like. Each may choose his own religion. There is no one to dictate which church one may attend, no one to stop our newspapers from printing the truth, and no one to prevent conventions where a person may voice his opinions. While there are those of us who cannot fight on the battle field, we can further the progress of Democracy by upholding and being loyal to it. All of us realize that a democracy is not just the real thing, but the only thing. Its eternity is unquestionable. It will last as long as the world lasts, in spite of any foreign sovereignty, but we shall have to continue fighting for it and must never forget Mr. Samuel Clemens' advice.

Non-Alcoholic Drinks Preferred By Flying Ace Major Richard Bong, American leading flying ace with 27 enemy planes shot down in combat in the South Pacific, does not seem to care for the case of scotch which Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, America's greatest World War I ace, has offered to the first pilot to break his record of 26 planes. Major Bong has said that he prefers soft drinks. General MacArthur believes that his promotion from the rank of Captain to Major is a greater tribute to the flying ace than a case of scotch. · At any rate it seems that the refusal of the scotch by Major Bong for himself could be of value in teaching younger children of today the harmful effects of alcohol for it shows the great skill of a man who does not use it. Of course there are already many proved facts of how much better a person does things who does not drink than those who do, but if they taught children the great deeds of men like Major Bong who does not drink it would have a greater influence on them than just a lot of facts. An argument to this however would probably be, what about the men who drink who have done great things? The answer to this is that with men of equal abilities, those who have greatest control over themselves accomplish the greatest feats. Great men are not all war heroes, but statesmen, scientists and others. Of these, it will be found the greatest were the non-drinkers.

Seen lately because of our continual April showers: A lovely new spring hat covered by some used, slightly oiled dust rags, the only thing the teacher could find with which to keep her hat dry.

After giving her seventh grade students a lesson.in climatic zones, the teacher questioned one of her students to find out whether he understood it. "George," she said, "tell me what zone Nebraska is in." After giving it very deliberate thought, he replied, "Nebraska is in the temperamental zone."

A Negro and his wife both enlisted in the Army, she in the Wacs and he in the infantry. It seems they didn't get along well and were a little disturbed about being sent to the same camp. She finally went to see the Judge Advocate about a divorce complaining of rough treatment. The husband was then called in and questioned. about this and he said, "No suh !" ah's never treated Lily rough. It seems just we gets into a few confusions and on the fourth confusion, suh, ah just passed her a slap!!"

GETTING OUT A PAPER

Getting out a paper is no picnic.

The article was a resume of the history of Arbor day, its particular interest to Nebraskans, and how it is celebrated in other countries.

If we print jokes, folks say we are ~illy.

Question of Week This week's question: Has leap year done any of you gals any good? Barbara Polite: "I got him, didn't I?????" Jeanne Woodworth: "Sigh!!! You've seen my objective." Jackie Greer: "Give me time, there are still eight months left." Wanda Joy Jones: "NO. Disgusting, isn't .it? I had my man before, anyway." Jackie Gordon: "I try hard enough, but someone always beats me to it." Nancy Pierson: "No, but ask me again next week." Sylvia Mozer: "No, I haven't taken advantage of it yet." Marion Spichal: "Yes, but the draft undid all my good work." Well fella's, after fooking this over, you can see that a few of the girls are still &e'tting their bear traps. Answer to last issue's questions: There are 111 rooms in Lincoln high. Patty O'Hara came the closest with a guess of 100.

"April showers bring May flowers." April showers! According to Webster the word Bhower is defined as "a brief fall of rain." I! the allthor of the verse thought the drizzles of April were but brief falls of rain, he must not have experienced the downpours such as Mary Jones, of Lincoln, Nebraska, did. "What a lovely day," thought Mary in the morning, starting 0n her way to school, minus her umbrella, boots and rain 'coat. "Spring has co.me at last!" As the closing bell rang, Mary dashed happily from her locker and to the door, then stopped. A typical April downpour had begun, da.shing its icy rain, tossed hither and yon by the delayed March wind, and forming immense mud and water puddles just in the place where Mary would ste!J, racing to catch her bus. The bus was latE of course, but what <lid the weather-elf care about that. Those pretty books, warped now; those just cleaned shoes, soaked thoroughly; that much-laboredover ponpadore, a sopping. straggly tress; just a few of the tricks dcine by the rain storm. Sitting cozily by the fire, wrapped in blankets. her feet in slippers, and in her heRJ visions of pneumor.ia, Mary Jones pledgc;d herself rever ag·;un this month to leave the hoJ11e without rainy weather app;,rel. as no telling when thNe would be another "April s ·,c,wer."

If we don't, they say we are too serious. If we publish original matter, they say

we lack variety. If we publish things from other papers, we are too lazy to write. If we don't print contributions, we don't show proper appreciation. If we do print them, the paper is filled with junk. . Like as not some fellow will say we pulloined this from another paper. We did-and we thank him.

Advocate Reporters Experience Harassing Time Trying to Interview Wendell L. Willkie

"\:\~b~v

The teacher was testing the power of observation of a class. Slapping a half dollar on the desk, she said sharply: "What is that??" Instantly a voice from the back row called: "Tails!!!" That's all for now, so have fun and I'll be back again next .week: Same column, same page! ! ! Be Good, JO.

carry an interview with Wendell Willkie, although photographs of her talking with him are on display in the Advocate office. "After three quarters of an hour had tripped by on nervous feet, our photographer, Harris Graves, came in looking very professional with Dudley Olney along to hold the flash bulbs. They sat down and helped us bite our nails." Harris set to work to piece together his equipment. First the battery case, the wires, then the reflector. At that point in the operations, who should walk in but Wendell L . Wilkie himself. Naturally everyone in the room stood up, including myself, momentarily forgetting the reflector in his lap ---but that moment was enough to send the article clanging to the floor. The grnup followed Willk1e to the Legislature where Harris got

his best pictures at about 30 feet distance with fairly high-powered fla.<ih bulbs. With no time to change from these flashbulbs to midgets for closeup work, he chased Mr. Willike and his party back to th·= Governor's office where, within 30 seconds, he had to get the pictures he wanted. As Mr. Willkie paused to greet them, Don and Beverly made a grab for his hand, and Harris. with no time to focus or set apertures, shot the picture. The resulting flash from the heavy flashbulb nearly knocked Mr. Willkil"i: hat off. The result in the negative was that the entire crowd looked like a group of minstrels due to overexposure. Willkie's publicity m en then told the reporters, the press conference would be at 2:00 p. m. in his hotel room and to be sure to be there. Beverly bought a new tablet with a firm back. Harris spent from 12 :00 until 2:00 rushing arcund town trying to get his camera synchronized, but at 2 :OO he gave up and decided to use open flash. "Open flash" consists of setting the camera on time, .open· ing the shutter, flashing the bulb, and closing the shutter again, compiicated prncedure, especially with a 4x5 camera without a tripod.

into a clear, simple story and an inspiring biography for young people by Ann Roos. The book does not attempt to be a definitive biography, but rather the imaginative re-creation of a personality. Starting early in childhood, Joseph had two narrow escapes which planted the thought of God very deeply in his mind, his being run over by a wagon 9.nd not hurt and swerving just in time, while ice skating. to miss a hole in the ice, underneath which was a whirlpool. When he joined the priesthood, he became .Father Damien, because Damien was a healer of the sick a.nd that is what Joseph wanted to be. After being ordained he was sent to Honolulu. He heard of the desperate plight of the lepers who were banished, practically in exile, to the island of Molokai. He vol· unteered to go the!'e.

Inside the F,B.I. "Crime is not glamorous. Its only rewards are hea!'tbreak, sorrow, imprisonment and, in some instances, death. Criminals are not heroes. They al'e stupid individuals who feel they can flaunt the rules of society and get away with it,'' states J. Edgar Hoover in John .T. Flaherty's book, "Inside the F.B.I." The dedication says. "To these men whose lives are dedicated to: Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity." The F.B.I. or Federal Bureau of Investigation is a mighty shield protecting the citizens of the United States from public enemies like Al Karpis and John Dillinger. Already a potent force before the war. dealing out swift and certain justice to criminals of every type, the bureau has expanded until it blankets the nation. The eyes of its men are on watch everywhere. The results speak for themselves, as: SPY RING BROKEN BY F.B.I. ALL GET LONG TERMS. GERMAN SABOTEURS NABBED BY F.B.I.

When 2 :00 p. m. came, Willkie was still at the republican lunch• eon, so the pupils waited, as the minutes tripped by on very so1·e feet. About an hour and one halt later Mr. Willkie and his party arrived. All reporters from daily papers were asked to come into a room for the press conference and others were told to wait. Mrs. \Villkie, a small, lovely woman, was standing outside the door complaining about how tired her husband was and couldn't they give him a little rest.

"We had six periods a day, each consisting of 45 minutes. School began at nine and let out at 3 :30." "Dances, parties, and such were held in the afternoon, because of .the dimout at night," she continued. She said that all seniors were in a home room together and the · senior class each year chooses a name and is like a club. Each member has a sweater with the emblem on it. The class that Pat belonged to was named "Saracens." Their motto was, "Strength, the stronghold of success." A younger brother, Jack. also attends Lincoln high, and is in lOA.

After graduation, Pat intends to resume her position as a secre• tary with the Army Air Forces in California. The Schaefers had been rcsi· dents of California for about· fourteen mnnlhs.

Links Annex Columbus .Track Crown

Jacob Describes Cindermen Finish Typical Day for Far In Lead; Army Air Cadet 'B'· to Concordia ers. Cooper tied for first in the pole vault, while Buckley scored in the shot, and N ordlund and Hylton took up the rest in the middle distances and the low stic ks. The York frosh scored also in their special relay for the rest of the points.

Beech Adds Good Number to State Meet Qualifiers Ralph Beechner's Red and Black cindermen had little trouble in winning the Columbus invitational track and field carnival from a stiff field of 14 class A teams on a damp and soggy Pawnee park oval at Columbus last Friday, April 21. The Links more than doubled the score to run away with the "A" crown.

Piderit Wins Shot. Dick Piderit, Lincoln high, won the shot put handily with a h eave of 46 feet, 10 inches. Bill Betz of Lincoln qualified for the state and took third with a 43 foot, 8 inch put. Piderit had one effort of 4810 inch es but did not wait in the circle until it was m easured. In the century dash Bob F er g uson and Harry Meginnis finished second and fourth to pick up point.8 and both qualify for the May meet. Ben Munson scored a first in the low hurdles in time of :24.8. It was his fir~t full flight in this event. Don Morrison look a close win in the mile, being pushed by Hagner of Seward In a 4 :55.9 time. Huck Eggel', Lincoln, h ad tough luck again as one of the r unners pushed him off the trnc k to lose his balance and be unable to finish. The Red iWld Black relay team of Harry Meginnis, Eugene Deeter, Ben Munson and Bob Ferguson turned in a 1 :38.4 for the best time in the state this year. Tom McGeachin placed second in the high hurdles and Zichek in the half· mile for the rest of the Links running evenL points. Rodney Cox and Chuck Bolus got off to 5 feet, 8 inches in the high jump to tie Bill Moomey, defending Class A champ. It was the best jump :t"or the pai r of Links this season, and the best that Cox has ever had. Both qualified for the ·state meet in this event.

A total of 27 teams defied the weather to keep the eleventh annual Columbus traditional meet alive. A crowd of several hundred sat thru the cold, damp weather as the Links were tops in "A" with Concordia of Seward winning out over Benedict, defending "B" champions. The top field of thinclads added to the exceptional program with three record breaking performances. More records would have been shattered if the weather had been more favorable. One of the best performances was that of Bobby Ferguson, fleet Lincoln. junior, with a 23 flat furlong in the preliminaries. This time equaled the 220 mark set by Jack Stubbs of Norfolk in 1936. Bob was content with a :23.1 in the final$ when a light drizzle fell. Harr·y Meginnis also of Lincoln was a fast second with a :23.6 to qualify for the state finals. Bob Day, Columbus athlete, hit the board for 21 feet on his second trial in the broad jump. This new m~rk broke· a previous i·ecord of Ralph Boss of Genoa by 1 inch. Harry Meg-innis of Lince>ln fi11ished second also in the bro:J.d j11mp with a de~p ui 20 fr t't 9 inches. All of the rest of Day's jumps failed to break 19 feet. Seward's Cla.ss A freshman 440 relay quartet of Ha.gemor, Costa, Hulbert and Teal lugged the baton in :51.6 for a half second fastn time than the former record set by the lfremont frosh in 1940. Individual performers had a bi day in spite of the bad weather. Jim McConnell, Central City's one-man trac k team, piled up 18 1-3 points to give his squad third in Class A race. He celared 10-10 in the pole vault for a threeway tie in this event, won the discus with a 126 foot flip, took second in the shot put at 45 feet 8 %. inches, placed third in the broad jump at 20 feet, 4 inches, and in addition to this h e placed in both of the hurdle events on the field. McConnell 's w o rk would have bronught .second to his team, but York had two stellar men in Cooper and Moomey to pile up 3 1-3 more than Central City. Moomey scored in the high jump, century dash and 120 hig-h sticks for 13 1-3 of the Duke count-

0. U. Carnival Next Meet BY HARLAN BEIDECK. High school track and baseball aspirants have been eyeing the flooded track and baseball diamonds with much di sgust. Very few schools and teams have had time or chance to get outside for their drills. Long have they been irked by confinment to their gymnasiums for unsatisfactory workouts. Day by day the boys have been tuning in on the radio and watching th e newspapers for the weather reports, but no relief h<is been ~ought from the long drawn out rain and storms. Most serious of them all was the track situation. With but three w ee;..s left until state championship time, very few meets have beeE held. Strict training and activity will have to be put into those three short weeks. Very few boys have been able to qualify for this contest because of the weather, and if things don't clear up within the netx week, the state entry I ists wi II be one of the sma llest in the history of th~ event. The biggest meet held thus far to date was the Columbus Invitational, at which the Red and Black of Lincoln high boosted their number of boys to 12 in 10 events. Bigger meets forced off because of the weather were the Tee Jay relays · at Council Bluffs and the Gothenburg r.elays at Gothenburg, Nebraska. This .week's slate includes some iwen bigger affairs, if the weather , will permit. The three leading ·carnivals for the coming week are the Kearney State Teachers Invit a tional, the Omaha U. Invitati onal and the revival of one of the oldest, the Central Nebraska meet sponsored b)' Hastings col-l ege.

M an y of the sport writers throughout the state have been giving much of the early attention to ''Bullet Jack" M cCartney of North Platte and Don Abernath y of Scottsbluff. Some of the atte ntion has been shifting to a pair of York athletes. n"rn e ly Don Coopt' i' mid Bill Moorncv, with all" l'n1.md f eats on the trac k a nd ;,-, the field. Cooper won the gold medal in the state m eet lasi: spring while Moomey t ook A high jump hono rs, and p icked up fo urth 'n the broad jump. This year they have gone hack to the same events, while M oomey has been hurdling and S?rinting in addition t o this. Cooper has been sprinting and broad jumping also. The 1944 Nebraska s cholastic pentathlon chamiponships which c lose this week, w ill probably be v.·on with one of the sma llest point t otals in the history of the affair. One of the main reasons for this will be the poor weather conditions and lo~s of the older manpower to the armed forces. This m eans also that an unusual large numbe r of boys w ill have a chanc e to win the pentathlon m edals and team awards. Last spring the Class A trophy w ent un claimed because th e la rger schools failed to enter l earns. Top athletes that have chances fo r the honors a re Jack McCartn e y, North P latte; Don Abern ath y. S cottsbluff; Bill Moomey and Don Cooper of York; Bill Karr. Golhcnburg ; Marv Hall, Omaha Tech;. Jim M cConnell, Central City; Gerhardt Meyer, Concord ia of Seward, Bill Burkhard of B en edict, Harry Meginnis, Lincoln, and a !ood number of boys are m e ntioned. :i'l·f an y tea ms ha 1·e the chance ;or crown , w ith a lot of them being well stock all the way around.· The Links appea r to be one of th e best balanced squads of the Hl4-I season, Jacking only in the pole vault.

track

squa d is the tough Omaha university Invitational track and field carnival to be held Saturday, April 29, at the Indians' layout. The meet is stocked w ith plenty of pote nt competition as all of t he Omaha schools will be J·eprcsented. Other big schools in the Omaha sector will also be present. In 1942 the Red and Black took top honors with 43~~ points t o 17 for second place Norfolk. In that meet the Links we1·e very strong in the track events, but scored only in the shot and high jump on the field. Fred Birkman, Lim:oln's crn.c.k 440 man, set a 51.4 mark in his pet event, which still stands. The other r ecord was chalked up by the flashy Link relay quartet of Jack J acobs, Bob Schuc kman, Jack N ebelsick and Birkman. They turned in a 1:33.4 to better the ol<l mark or 1:33.6 set by Omaha T ech in 19.U. Last year the Links p assed up the Om aha competition for the York coilege event, which has been cancelled this s eason. With a better balanced squad in all evems except the pole vau1t, tne Links will attempt to repeat some of their 194:.l record b1eaking feats. Big- wi1mer of last y e ar who wi ll be back to defend his high and low hurdle wins is Ma!'V .haJI, s ensational Omaha 'l'ech athle te. He was in the driver's seat last year a;> the Maroons copped top h on ors. H a ll set a new record in the hign ::;ticks with a 15 flat.

From the Hi-Point of View J BY THOMAS GREEN. Basic and fundamental ideas may be old, but this does not necessarily make them "ol:i :stuff." Many, many years ago a scientist by I.he name of Cooke discovered a very basic and fundamental physical law of elasticity. This discovery was forgotten for many, man y more years. Today, however, this Jaw of physics :s the one which is used in the build· ing of all of our large dams and skyscrapers. It is recognized as one of the most important Jaws in the field of engineering. This same phenomonon of lost truths is also found in the field of psychology. Ma ny psycholo· gists believe that every human being is born with an inborn desire to amount to something. This principle is not an old one either. It was first brought to the public about 2,000 years ago. A nd yet it was not until the eighteenth century tha t m €n rediscovered this . and freedom to think was se'lured.

The question of whether a "flag or the world" should fly above the stars and stripes received a vote . of unwilling from 78 percent of the girls as to 75 percent of boys as co mpared to the national vote of unwilling by 55 percent of th e boys and 70 percen t of the girls This was the onl y one on whi'.'. h this school differed decidedly from the national average.

People Who Don't Vote · Should Not Complain! What right have you who don't take the trouble of perhaps less than two minutes to vote for your class officers and student council members, to complain about the outcome of the ballots each year? It is honestly hard to understand why anyone would think for one moment that he has the right tO complain! When you think of what an opportunity it is to be able to choose your leaders in our country, your state,-yes, and your school, it seems unfortunate that there are persons who don't grab at the chance of voting, let alone turning right around as soon as the votes are counted and complain-complain because the persons they wanted in office didn't succeed. It doesn't take many fingers to count the countries in which people can vote for their leaders - everyone knows that, everyone also knows the condition of those countries that don't have that right, the unfair condition in which a few stop at nothing to gain power and we~lth-:everyo~e knows all of this-and yet thmgs like lettmg a chance of voting slip by, happen every day in every state of this country, in every school-including Lincoln high. Why ? No adequate answer has e ver been provi ded , Maybe you can figure it out yourseifthose of you who seem to have a reason for not voting.

Languages Will Be V seful For Deciding Peace Terms Around the peace table, after this war is over a group of important m en from Russia, U.S.A., Germany and tngland will meet to decide the fate of the world. These men will be able to understand each other, because they will all know how to speak the language of the other, or h ave interpreters who do. They will, we hope, be able to understand the habits, customs and inner feelings of the peoples represented for this very reason, and they will be able to settle their problems accordingly. But this small group of men are not the only ones who are going to have to get ·along with, and Understand one another when this war is over. If we are to have a real and lasting peace, we, you and. I, are going to have to understand the feelmgs of the real Germans, the real Italians, and the real Japanese. . There is only one way to do this and that is to study their languages. Master Ge~an and French, and learn as much as possible of the other leading languages. I can hear you now, screaming "What? Me learn German? Why it would take me years to learn it, let alone another language too." . Well what if it would take a llttle effort and t~e? Did you know that the educated E uropean like you and me, can speak three language~ fluently, and i:ead at le~s~ four? · Makes us feel kind of silly doesn t it? Are we going to have another w~r for our chi~ dren to fight, or are we gomg to make it possible for them to live a pe~ceful, happy life? You hold the answer in your own hands.

Twenty-fourth Annual Youth Week Deserves Attention Hundreds of communities throughout t he United States are observing the twen.tyfourth annual National Boys and Girls week April 29 to May 6 inclusive. The them~ is "Youth Power for Days Ahe~d." Boys a nd Girls .week desen:es the senous attention and active cooperation of all who are interested in the welfare of youth. The unprecedented increase in juvenile delinquency, and the wartime d:isclocation of the normal life of boys and girls, have created problems for youth that make it evident that more assistance is needed now than was necessary in times of peace. The ac~ivi ties of the week are designed to bring to the attention of the communities the problems interests, and recreation of its youth, and 'also t he youth serving organizations which labor for the development of good citizenship and character in growing boys and girls. Boys and Girls week helps focus the attention of the community on its greateet natural resources, its boys a nd girls.

WHAT IS GOLF?

A golf course has eighteen holes, seventeen of which are unnecessary and only put in to make the game harder. A "hole" has a tin cup in the center of the "green." A "green" is a small bit of grass (costing $1.99 a blade), and usually located between a brook and a couple of apple trees. The ball must not be thrown, pushed or carried, but must be propelled with 'about $200.00 worth of curious looking implements, especially designed to provoke the owner. Each implement has a specific purpose and ultimately some golfers get to know what that purpose is, but they are exceptions. After each hole has been completed, a golfer counts his strokes, then he subtracts six and says, "I made that in five," or "That's one above par." After the final or eighteenth hole, the golfer adds up his score and stops when he has reached 78 or 80. He then has a swim, a cold drink, sings "Sweet Adeline" along with six or eight other liars and calls it the end of a "Perfect Day." Golf is a bit of work made expensive enough for a rich man to enjoy. It is a physical and mental exertion made attractive by the fact that you have to dress for it in a $200,000 club house. Golf is what lette;r carrying, ditch digging, and . carpet beating would be if these three tasks had to be performed on the same hot afternoon, ~n colored slacks and socks by gouty-lookmg gentlemen, who require a different implement for each move. · Golf is the simplest looking ganie in the world when you decide to take it up and the toughest looking after you have been at it t en or twelve years. It is probably the only known game a man can play as long as a quarter of a century and then discover that it was too deep for him in the first place . The game is played on carefully selected grass, with little white balls and as many clubs as the player can afford. These balls cost from 25c to $1.25 each, and it is possible to support a family of ten people (all adults) , for five months, on the money represented by the balls lost by some golfers in a single afternoon!!!!

However. the Viar Department hlls decided that it is neeessary for the security of our country and Armed Forces.'' stated Lt. Henry G. Jacoby, a base censor somewhere in the Aleutians, and father of Ronald .Jacoby, a sophomore. In reply to a request from Rona.Ill for a "censored" letter, Lt. Jacoby wrote and censored his own letter explaining fully th~ matter of censorship. Since troops get their first tasU• of censorship ·when they arrive at a port of emha.rlrntion pi-ior to being sent overseas and censorship continues until they retur:i, a. great many censor officers are needed.

Jacoby listed ·a number 'lf things reRtricted; some of which are: Any military information giving location. strength. guards of troops: convoys and their routes, ports, number; effects of enemy operations; codes or code· systems; casualties. Most censor officers are able to handle se\'e!l different Ja nguagPs, thus prohibiting restricted information to pass unnoticed. All letters. must be mailed through the Army Postal iierv ice and are sealed when sent. \\'hen received by the censor the seal is broken <ind the letter inspected (a letter that is too cut up is sent back to the sender for rewriting). A stamp is then placed on the envelope · and the broken place is taped. w ith it partially covering the stamp. Thus if the tape is broken . the s eal will he torn and any tampering with the mail will be known.

Lt. Jacoby in closing stated. "One thing we insist on definitely, and that is the contents of a letter must be held in stricte.3t confidence and not d iscussed in any manner with anyone. If we find that a unit censor is violating that trust. we take immediate steps to prosecute him."

Tuberculin Skin Tests Complete Out of 443 students eligible for the tuberculin skin test, held this previous week in Lincoln high, 276 have received it. A total of 196 students or 71 per cent have a negative reaction, which means that up to the present time they are free from tuberculosis germs, and there is no infection. Just 80 students or 29 per cent reacted positively. This does not necessarily mean that tuberculosis is active in the body, but that they have been infected with it. It is important for all positive reactors to have an X-ray examination to see if any damage has been or is being done to the lungs. This work 1s solely financed by the sale. of tuberc ulosis Christmas iieals and will be held in Northeast high school which also requested it.

British fcrl'cs are poised on lhe shores of the Enr:lish channel ready to stream across in untold numbers to the "invasion c oast" that has been pounded time and time again. To the people in England the· invasion means more than it does to people in Lincoln in one sense. .In another sense, however, it does mean a great deal to Lincolnites, for the reason that many men of Lincoln in the armed forces are poised with hundreds of thousands of other troops. Consequently on the D-day, the churches will be open for prayer. No sermons, but music. The air raid whistles will blow for several minutes and the churches will open one hour later. If the invasion is after 10 p. m. the whistles will blow at 6 a. n1. and church doors open at 7 a. m . with services until 10 a. m.

Contribute Generously For The Fifth War Loan Drive A fraction of a second in this war belongs to you, yes, for a fraction of a second you and you alone pay the salaries of MacArthur and Eisenhower, pay for the guns and shells, the fuel, the food, the medicine and everything that makes the war go. This atartling fact, heard recently on a radio broadcast, should give us something to think about. Perhaps at this very second you are financing this war on the side of the allies. If for even one second, the stream of supplies to the soldiers overseas should cease, they would be helpless in the face of overwhelming odds. This is 1944, the year that may see the defeat of Germany. When our boys march in, there will be an invisible army of countless thousands of civilians behind them. The fifth war loan drive will start in a month but isn't it rather degrading to the American public to have to have constant drives and reminders to keep them buying bonds and stamps? Forget that movie you had planned to see and remember Johnny Doughboy who is counting on you for the bullet that ~ay stop a murderous Jap, or the aulpha and morphine for his wounds. Buy stamps, and seal up the fate of the Axis! Today!

Food as Vital War JUate1·ial Should Not Be Wasted Food is a war weapon and it is up to the ones that stay at home to see that none of this vital war material is wasted. Of course we cannot completely eliminate the damage done to food by rats and insects, drought and rot, blight and flood, or the injury done to it in shipping. But we can .prevent waste. It is estimated that t he food we wasted in the year 1934 in the United States would take care of all our Armed Forces and lendlease commitments today. Surveys show these interesting statistics : Two percent of the food produced is left unharvested in the fields; two percent of the food is lost in transportation; seven percent is lost in storage and in wholesale markets; three percent to six percent is wasted in retail stores; six percent to nine percent is wasted in restaurants; while the greatest percent, fifteen percent, is wasted in the home. The food we waste makes up the greatest food reservoir anywhere in the world. The American public should wake up to their responsibility in this respect. Only they, in their homes can make a sufficient saving in food-stuffs. A "Clean Plate Club" is endorsed by the government to emphasize the conservation program in the schools. If we can save only no more than a quarter to a third of the food lost between harvest and garbage pail, the result could be seen immediate!~ in an increase in the food reserves. Wasting food in this war is as much treason as abetting a spy. This is a war job we may all sha re in our homes. We have always been the best fed people jn the world and to keep 1t this way we must. conserve and conserve and CONSERVE! !!

May · 14 Is Day Set Aside In Honor of Motherhood May 14 is the date set for Mother's day this year. Mother's day is a day set apart every year in honor of motherhood. It was originated by Miss Anna Jarvis of P hila delphia. It occurred to her, in remembet_'ing her own mother's death, that a day dedicated to all mothers would be a beautiful gesture. Miss Jarvis became the missionary of the idea and the author of the phrase, "In honor of the best mother that ever lived.• • . your mother." Pennsylvania soon adopted her s uggestion and many other states followed. On May 10, 1913, a resolution passed the Senate and House of Representatives to make the second Sunday m May of each year a public holiday in honor of mothers. ·Generally a red carnation is worn in remembrance • f a mother who is living and a white carnation in memory of a mother who has died. But the real significance is not found in outward show but in inward affection and true service. Why not make every day a "Mother's day" ?

Omaha Tech, winner of the 1943 classic. appears doomed to fall from the throne as only one or two boys have qualified for the state meet from the school. Lincoln, Scottsbluff, Lexington, , North Platte, York, Omaha Central and Benson are the favorites in this year's meet. Ord or Bayard are probables to dethrone Au· rora as B king, while Arapahoe has a good chance to defend its C crown. Benedict and Lebanon, co-champions in D last May. are rated tops, with Concot·dia of Sew. ard in the challenging post.

This year rains have forced cancellation of moi;t of the usual early April and 1\fay meets. But the situation may reverse from last year, with bright skies for the championships.

As Summer Approaches Finish Your Back Work With summer on the way and the close of school almost here, it is wise to get a number of things off your conscience and out of the way. Make up all tha:t back school work that you have been putting off, and get it out of the way. Don't wait until the end of the semester when the teachers will be too busy working on reports. Get the junk out of your locker and take it home. Begin planning your summer work before everyone else gets the same idea. Pay back the loan you borrowP-•i. a month ago. After you get a few of these things done, you will be able to look ahead to the summer months with a free mind. Look ahead to the future instead t) f waiting until the last few days of school

Tuberculosis Tes ts Are Patriotic Wartime lVecessity Tuberculosis is one of the most serious unsolved problems that faces the public today, because there is more tuberculosis, fewer hospital beds, and more home n ursing care will be necessary. Early and more frequent discovery of ca:;aes is the result of examining millions of young people for military service and industrial jobs. Wartime stresses and strains are falling with particular force on the 15 to 45 year age group in both military and civil life. This is the age group in which tuberculosis occurs most frequently during time of war and peace. Tuberculosis germs killed more Americans in one vear than the total American losses during 'the first year of this war. 58,307 of our armed forces were reported killed, wounded, missing, interned and prisone~s.

59,251 men, women and children died of tuberculosis. These tests are a wartime necessity as World War II has not changed our basic strategy of tuberculosis control. We still must find the case early; institute rest and isolation immediately; treat with modern methods and rehabilitate. Over-crowding in homes due to housing shortage, especially in the areas of war industries and camps, is always an invitation to the spread of tuberculosis. Protecting health in peacetime is just plain common sense; in war, it becomes a _patriotic duty. Experts believe that tuberculosis in this nation not only can be brought under control but it can be wiped out. Whether we shall maintain our gains in wartime depends solely upon the determination of the men and women we call our community leaders who have made an effort here in Lincoln high school in testing all seniors who requested it this spring.

Save Waste Paper Each Week to Aid the Invasion Everyone has undoubtedly heard or read that the war department has announced that waste paper is now America's number one critical war material. Yet, there are many times when we give no heed to the call of our nation for waste paper and other needed materials. Do we realize how many lives could be lost by merely the lack of paper and that those may be our fathers, brothers, uncles or cousins? Everyone now has an opportunity to save more waste paper than before. Waste paper serves our fighting men in hundreds of ways too numerous to list here, but one instance is ammunition. Those men are fighting, sacrificing their lives for us and-what are we doing? The coming invasion will need more waste paper than ever . Save waste paper by the week and turn in a large bundle each week for Victory!

Greetings Chums!! ! We now bring you our delightful, degenerated, dishonored, dilapidat ed, dynamic, delicious, disputed, delirious, dramatic, doleful, dreadful. disintegrated dilemma of dates, deals, digs, and diversions.

There was a woman walking home from first-aid class when she noticed a man lying in the gutter, so she immediately started applying artificial respiration. She had worked for about ten minutes and was about ready to call for help, when the man looked up and calmly said: "Lady, for gosh sakes please quit tickling me, I'm trying to hold this light for that guy down there in the manhole !" (Moral: Mind your own business! !!)

Represenlathes Vote Section Six Down In Special :Meeting

Ted Sorensen and Gordon Pauley, the junior-senior F team, nipped a close decision from the sophomore G team, George Wilsox and Fayette Winslow, using the topic "Resolved that the United BU.Les oi1uuiu join in a11 i11c.::rdemocracy federal union," to win the finals of the inter-class debate tournament Friday. Judges for this debate, Wayne Swift, Wendell Olson, Richard Noble, Betty Etmund and Miss Florence Jenkins, were split in their deci:sion, coming out with a 3-2 verdict in favor of Pauley and Sorensen. The winners had previously defeated junior-senior D team, Harold McNabb and Richard Noble,· by the unanimous decision of 3-0. The judges for this event were Don Loudon, Leroy Stoesz, and Gilbert Rogers. Another score in the sophori10re division, in which Wilcox and Winslow were also debating was a 1-0 decision, In which Wilsox and Winslow were also debating was a 1-0 decision over Harry Davis and George ~obel of the C team. Miss J enk ins gave her opinion of the entire tournament as follows: "I've been proud of the way that every one has taken interest in the debate tournament and I feel that a very good quality of debating has been exhibited." She also stated that she believed that it was a little unfair to the other teams competing for members of the English 10 (beginning debate class) to enter the debate tournament because of more experience but that it (the debate tournament) was carried out as fairly as possible.

Examination Week Can Be of Benefit to Everyone Do you feel hurt because you have too many examinations coming? Or are you just one of those lucky fellas who have only one or two? Many pupils would argue pro or con on the subject thinking only of themselves but never giving a thought for the idea behind giving final semesterly examinations. Day after day our various teacl.:i.ers try to pound facts into our brains and at the end of a period of time it is only fair that they should have a. desire to know what the results are in their different pupils. Also it should be a time for us to appreciate that we have the opportunity to be able to have some one to test us on what we really know and what we think we probably know. One doesn't benefit from final examinations, if he is the type that makes a habit of cramming, as knowledge gained like that is soon forgotten. Those who have been wise during the semester and worked on and completed their daily assignments will see the result when they get their test papers back. If you are unfortunate in your examination, don't you, in spite of everything, feel resentment toward yourse lf for not paying closer attention to those many assignments? In this experience there is a benefit too, as one now knows what it takes to be a student and will undoubtedly try harder next semester (if there is one). Congratulations to those of you who don't need to cram!

Memorial Day Originated Back in Civil War Days In the Civil war courageous men left their homes and loved ones to join the army of the Blue or the Gray. Men were filled with the zeal of patriotism no matter whether they fought for the Union or for the South; they fought for the cause they thought was right. While these men were out on the battlefield the women of the North and South remained at home and prayed for the safe deliverance of their loved ones. Peace was established and the Union was saved but thousands of lives were lost. There was scarcely a place in the North and none at all in the South that did not mourn its dead. Many women of the Confederacy began at various times to place flowers at the graves of their soldiers and soon this wonderful custom spread to the North. The commander-in-chief of the Grand :Army of the Republic, General John A. Logan, set aside May 30 as Decoration Day for the graves of the Union soldiers who had died in the Civil war. Gradually the observance spread from state to state. However, the name was changed from Decoration Day to Memorial Day to voice the feelings of those who observe it. Each year the governor of each of the northern and western states proclaims the day as a legal holiday. Since flowers appear earlier in the South the day is observed earlier there. Memorial Day is a day of sorrow and pride for those who have lost their loved one in a battle of this war or of earlier wars, or for those who are fortunate to have a friend or relative still fighting for us.

People Urged to Pray For Soldiers on D-Day On Invasion day and the days to come, thousands of American boys will be giving their lives in the fight for freedom. Should we on that day, forget our work and celebrate? Those boys will be dying so that we at home may celebrate--some holiday? People on that day, in respect to those who will never have another holiday, to those who will never see another day, to those to whom that day means eternity, we should, each and every one of us work harder than we ever have before. We should go to church and pray for those men. We must pray that there will n ever be another day such as this when men must die on strange and distant shores-for us.

Dear All Youse Guys and Gals, This being our last time to break out in print (sob) we wish to express our thanks to all of you who get a big charge out of reading our column (laugh, laugh) and to all the rest of you, who give us those dirty looks and won't speak-all we've got to say is- (censored) -we tried our best and that's just TOUGH!!!

(!uestion of the Wee k We sat through the whole period racking our brains, bit· ing our nails, pulling our hair, and pounding the desk tops until we 1inally consu lted yo ur teachers on: "What is your idea of a per· feet student?" Lyle Weyand : You mean there is s uch a thing ? Miss Elsie Engl ish: One w ho sleeps only during the · study half of the period. Ralph Beechner: One who i1 never tired because he's always resting. Mrs. Ruth Dodge: If there are such students, they never enter MY classes. Max Pumphrey: The perfect student in Lincoln high is one who can read or write. Miss Dorcus Weatherby: I was a perfect student when I was in school. ( She told us to add that s he said it w ith a smile!!) C. E. Evans: One who can h it a " dodging" nail Ii ke Ferdy does. Miu Esther Montgomery : One who knows what it is all about--or at least can g ive t hat impressio n. Mrs. Hyatt asked us if we could run a two column pictur e of ourselves. Ah, yes! ! (She must be kidding!! ) All in all, we think we have a pretty "sharp" facu lty. BUT, now we turn the tables on our dea r teachers and give you students a chance. " What is your idea of a pe rf ect teacher ? " Jo Sanders: My idea of a per fect teacher is one who doesn 't give teats at the end of the semester. ( Do you suppose th.a t will help change their minds this year?? ) Morrie Cullen: One with a sense of humor and a bad mem · ory. Mary Sue Holland : Pe rsonally, I' ve never seen one!! ( No offense!) Mary Jo Schmale : Are we kidding? ? Bob Olmstad: One who serves Ice cream and cake on hot days, with a promise of no exams as an appetizer. Bob Ferguson: There ·are none!! (I get more 7's that way.)

"All right, now, march. Column left by fours." She watches wearily as the girls mark off by threes and fives. "Squad halt, one-two," and the class tries again. This has been going on for several weeks, but improvement is being made slowly and !SU rely. After drill comes exercises. The girls try what they think are· impossibilities, but keep at it in the hope that those extra inches will disappilar.

Lincoln high's baseball team ended an undefeated season by hanging up its fourth straight victory. defeating the Northea::1t Rockets 15-8 on the Muny diamond May 15. The Black and \Vhite started i!1 the initial frame battei'ing across a lrio of scores, but the Links came back hard, taking advantage of Northeast errors, to romp across five counters. All the scoring in the second inning was done by the Red and Black who added three more talli.,11 to the cause. A homer by Belz and double by pitcher Gerry Duncan aided the Lincoln barrage in the stanza. The Rockets took life again in the third to whittle the Links lead to 8-5. Big Bill Betz added anothc>r run to the Lincoln total by banging out his second homer Of the game while Dunca.n blasted out his second <louble. Jim Weber th•.n was called in from left fiel<i to relieve Darrel Willet on the mound for Northeast. The Red and Black's big rally came in the sixth inning when Betz led off with a double, followed by a hit off the bat of Kenny Peterson, Duncan walking. Bob Bartlett's double, Bob Hubbell's bingo and Dean Robson's smashing home run, bringing the inr.ing 's total to six runs and tne games' total to 15. The black and white clad Northeasterners added one run in each of the last three· frames to chalk up a total of 8. .Best for the Lincoln clan were Bill Betz who batted out ten bases in three official t r ips to the plate and Gerry Duncan who also batted three for three and shone on the hill, whiffing eight men. For the Northeast nine it was Harry Wolfe all the way as he knocked out three and sparked. the Rockets. ab h o a !

Action Pictures Are Preferred By Norman Case Best action p'cture eyer taken by Norman Case, Links photographer and president of the camera club, is a shotput picture taken at a unh-ersity trnck meet last _spring. This ~'ear he has taken more than 200 pictures for the Links and believes students coop. erate very well when their pictures are being taken. He would rather take action pictures than . posed pictures, although action pictures arc harder to take since the photographer must be there at the right moment. The best portrait he has ever taken is of a man and a little girl; best landscape is of Pioneers park; only height shot is of the business section of Lincoln from the tower of the capitol building.
