Former Student Is First Yank Visitor ln Vatican Mosaic Factory, Rome, Italy Churches, ancient ruins, art galleries, operas, all these and more are kaleidoscoped in the impressions of Rome, a.s gathered on a five-day furlough, by Corporal Hal T. Wilmeth, '36, 15th A. A. F., and artist turned G. I. Joe, and described in a letter to Miss Helen. Wilson, head of the art department at Lincoln high. "The great contrast between Rome and the southern part of the .boot is amazing .. . no similarity at all. Rome is like being back in .the states again. It was all over too fast though. My only regret is that I didn't have more time there to see a little more and do a few more sketches," writes the former L. H. S. student. All the pomp and ceremony of an audience with Pope Pius XII was granted to all the Yanks that could crowd into the audience chamber. Wilmeth was one of many who "sweat out" the period of waiting for the audience. "The Vatican gardens were places of peace and quiet in a war-mad world," states the Corporal. • Guiding the G. I. artist .through the Vatican art galleries was the su1 of the Ambassador to the Vatican from Switzerland. Being the first Yank soldier to visit the Vatican mosaic factory, Hal was given several of the smaller mosaic which are made to be sold.
The Sistine Chapel, the "Arc of Constantine," the Pantheon, with its new Mussolini-dictated coat of marble inside, the cata·combs, and ancient ruins . were part of the tour made easy for Corporal Wilmeth and other soldier-tourists by the pamphlet issued by the government. This pamphlet contains a bird's-eye view of Rome, pictures of famous works of art, such as, a bust of the Emperor Augustus, the Arch of Constantine, a map of Rome and a history of Rome. The Arch of Constantine and the Arch of Titus had, at one time, been invisible because of the protective sheath of concrete and bricks which saved them from bombs; however, the Arch of Constantin was partially visible at the time of Hal's visit. Paintings by Michael Angelo, Raphael, and other painters of the early Italian school receiv ed a great deal of attention from the artist side of Corporal Wilmeth. Raphael's "Transfiguration" and an exact mosaic reproduction brought forth words of praise. A thrilling evening spent at the Royal Opera, hearing "Faust" found Hal in a box in the company of five British officers. "The great churches, the catacombs, the ancient ruins, the art, the great parks, and all made one feel that there is some civilization here in Italy," commented Corporal Wilmeth,

Wasn't it exciting? Didn't your heart get all fluttery and jump up and down? Weren't your nerves all on edge? No, not for that date with the handsome young man or anything like that. No, it was for that great event. That great event that comes only once a year. Yes, the opening of school. Now all we have to look forward to is the closing of school. Oh, well! No objection, I'm sure.

Did giving up a good job make you hesitate about coming back to school this fall? If you find that school doesn't seem worth . the effort, take a look at this side of it. The pupils in high school today are the physicians, lawyers, school teachers and business men and women of tomorrow. We want to make this world of ours one to be proud and happy in. If we do not finish the education furnished us now by the taxpayers, what kind of a world are we making to live in ? If:"l it one you'd choose to make your home or business in ? If you quit school now, you're giving up a good job tomorrow. War times bring good money-but there shall be an end of this war. What then? The ones who have finished school now will be the ones to take the job you passed up by giving up your education. The government has advised us to make the most of what there has been of~ fered us. Don't give up your chance for the future for a little money now. Don't quit school.

Sophomores Are Just Like Other L.H.S. Pupils Starting ouJ from 21 7 in search of some cooperative sophomores tha'.; would tell their honest impression of Lincoln high srhool the first strange face that came into view was that of a tall, thin, frightened fellow. About to step up to him I was surprised to see a frown a ppear, and disappear just as quickly, and saw him straighten up, take a step forward and then quietly say, "Hey, could you tell me where 215 .is?" Quickly as it was asked, he t urned and looked down the hall and just as quickly said, "Skip it, I've found it?" It took a few· minutes to get over the take off of a brush off, and putting my pri de into my pocket again I started off for the nearest sophomore. Around the corner and then around the next, still no friendly sophomores that looked willing to let a junior not much wiser to the school's lay- out, ask them how they liked the school. Around the next corner, and then, at last I saw a face that did hold the friendly, willing look. Boldly walking up, before losing my courage, arid ready w ith the question on m y lips, I asked this likely looking short girl w hat her impression of Lincoln high was. She looked strange at first and then replied in a very annoyed voice, "I asked that question two years ago, when I was a sophomore, and I don't want to be expected to give it again now that I'm a senior." With that . she turned shar ply around and stamped down the hall. The last answer was enough for me, who cares what the sophomores t hink of Li<.coln h igh sch00l,

Former Student ls Appointed To Annapolis, Md. Morris Gaiter, a former Lincoln high school and University of Nebraska student has received a n appointment to the United Stat es Naval Academy by congressman Carl Curtiss, according ta word received here b y his parents. While attending Lincoln high Morris ea rned varsity l etters in basketball and football. Upon his graduation in June, 1943, he enter ed the University of Nebraska w here he was a m ember of the football team. At present Morris is attending Navy V- 12 preflight school a t Maryville, M issouri.
I Wish I'd Been a Boy! The b est time of all the year, Is when the foot ball season's here . I love the crowd, I love the noise, I love the plays of the foot ball boys. I love t wo yard bucks and dizzy dasl:i.es, And spiral punts _a nd forward passes. They run the e nd and hit the line, Driving themselves on b y leg and spine. Head a nd shoulder, hea rt and soul, 'Til they fall a cross the goal. Oh! I wish th at I'd been born a boy So I too could have some football j oy!! -Esther Beynon.
Enemy Bombs Means Evacuation For Helen Coldberg, Now L.H.S. Student Helen Colberg, a senior, is believed to be the only student in Lincoln high to be b orn in and have liv ed in a foreign country. She was born in London, England, where her father is assistant traffic m anager of Armour and company. She lived in London for almost twelve years dur ing which she attended Henrietta Barnett Sch ool and Haberdasher's Askes School. On September 12, 1939, her mother, sister, and she came to the United States for the duration of the E uropean war. She came to Lincoln to school as she had t wo uncles here at that time. She has attended P rescott and Irving ju nior high school, Helen is planning to stay in the Unit ed States for the duration of World War fl. Her m other is h oping to return to L ondon a fter victory in Europe is won and her sister w ill remain in this country. Helen has v isited numerous European countries, and she has traveled in Norway, Sweden. Finland, Danzig, Germany, Denmark and Wales and h as just been inside the P olish b order. In 1938 her father, mother, sister and she took a European cruise and it could b e seen that Germany was
definitely preparing for war t hen and the countries surrounding her were expecting invasion then. In Denmark Helen saw t roops on m aneuvers and their uniforms looked as if they were · used in World War 1. Three years ago Helen's sister, Myra, attended Lincoln high and now she is a senior at t he University of Nebraska. She is determined that she is not going to return to England except for vacation, because of the t errible destruction from enemy bombs. Letters from her father come through q uite quickly now. Some of t hem are taking only eight or nine days. H elen's father has escaped any injuries from the bombs, but in 1940 their home in London was hit by a time bomb, w hich fortunately did not go off. Her father was not in the house at that time. A month l ater in 1940 lier father's office building was hit by a bomb at night, so nobody was injured. T-his summer when Mr. Colberg was on his vacation, all the windows were knocked out by a robot bomb, so her family feels very fortunate that he has escaped all these happenings.
Teachers Work As Mechanics
Pupils Return to Clean School
Fellows who own "Put-Puts" or even bicycles and bring them to school better put locks and keys on them to preven t their being tinkered w ith, because we now have · in our midst two women mechanics. It really won't be their fault, but just . go into making up the machines. Miss Carrie R ober ts and Miss Esther Montgomery were on thti payroll of Cushman M otor company last summer. They were assigned the dirty gr easy job of work in the punch press room of cutting and b ending steel, also ma king auto glides and bomb fuses. Being rotated on t he s hift to different machines made the work more interesting · for them:•',;,. Wherf.ed what she learned d~ , fli.'- ' ummer work Miss Rd°FS··1:.:J ·r eplied; ••.s;.••.: :- I went to the university ili ,iJi.O '~IWll and w orked in the aitemoon.' ~d evening I learned that it was pretty hard to have a full time job and try to w ork at t he same time. One or the other is bound to suffer and in my case ·it was the school w ork." Miss Roberts also commented t h at school teach ers are not the only ones w ho are r equired to have patience. The for eman who taught t hem h ov; to :m n t he m achines h ad it too. Miss Montgomery said that w~king on su ch a job w asn't nearly so h ard on a person as was the responsibility of teaching. When once finish ed , you are free to go home and forget it for a while, but in t eaching you are always d oing something with or about it. The two women worked with men until t he last two w eeks. They, being women, were favored by m en with ice cream, orangade, etc. So, to keep the good graces of the men, they m a de candy for them. The men kept asking about the ba ndages on t heir fingers, if this was a symbol of some "special sor orit y." But until they acquired that certain skill of the machines, it was a d aily task t a bandage the sore places on their hands. . Safety caps, slacks and flatheeled shoes (no open toes or heels ) was what they were r equired t o w ear. That the work of Miss Montgomer y a nd Miss Roberts was appreciated is show n in letters from L. E. Chadderdon, employment manager , t o H . C. Mardis, "I am s ure that t heir work with u~ the past few m onths will make them better t each ers a nd they can have the satisfactio n of knowinL~ that dur ing their vacation pe riod t hey spent their time helping in one of the m ost critical defense plants in this area.
Observing pupils noticed last Wednesday morning as school started that the floors of Lin coln high had a new gleam. By second period everyone was watching his step and walking at a snail's p ace. All the halls have been newly waxed and were slick. The floors of both gymnasiums have a n ew coat of varnish. Approximately five ~allons of gu~n \.Vc1:e s cr ape.:! from unde•· t ho d esks. And then the custodians completed the cleaning with odd jobs such a s patching plaster, changing 550 locker combinations, cleaning all the air ventilators, and washing all the windows, lights, desks and blackboards.
Teachers Work In Los Angeles "May I help you please," or "Thank you" were two phrases spok en quite often this summer by two Lincoln high teachers w ho went to Calofirnia and work ed in one of the leading de~tment uov~·e... ;n Las Angele.s.

This was the first time for either to do this t ype of work and Miss Wallace explains, "I got the biggest enjoym ent from working the cash register.''. Some of the interesting places
·Between the Book Ends "The R obe," is a moving fictional portrayal of the story of Chri st's r obe, which was won by a Roman officer , Marcellus Gallus. The robe affects the lif e of Marcellus and causes him to become a very great man in carry• ing out Christ's work. Author of this inspiring book is Lloyd C. Douglas, also author of the famed "Magnificent Obsessi on," and "Disputed Passage.'' Many Bible characters are p ictured in scenes described, such as: Stephanos, the Greek, who was stoned to death in Jerusalem; th e Big Fisherman, Peter, one of t he twelve d isciples; Mir iam, the wonderful singer. Interesting Romans include the Roman emperor, Tiberius; P rince Gaius, heir to the throne, who was poisoned, and Caligula , the cruel emper or who h ad Marcellus executed. Demetrius, Marcellus' Greek slave, infl uenced Ma rcellus into b elieving in Chr ists' work who carried on after Marcellus was dead, is a very d istinguished character. When you go to the library to check out this book or a ny other book a nd it's not ther e, ask for a reserve blank and the librarian, Miss Emma Snyder, will l et you know when the book you want is in.

Practice of Lincol11's arsity F oothall Squad Under Beechner and Weyand. Proves Rugged BY GALE MORRELL. Wh en fortune deems to smile upon Lincoln high football hopes this year it will not be a m atter of luck, but the r esult of a long arduous training period instituted by coache s Ralph Beechner and Lyle Weyand. After the grim announcing of the 1944 football season ha d gone off, the hole left in the Lincoln hig h football team by graduat ing squadmen became very apparent. There wer e, to be sure, the eleven returning lettermen from last year's t eam , but of these only two were r egulars. The job of rebuilding the team seemed imp ossible, but it was done. Yes. and it was done well, for after three weeks of practice a group of boys h a ve been pounded and coached and molded into an efficient team. Coach Beech ner early in t he season said , " We h ave 53 years of w inning football t r a dition b ehind us; we can, we m ust and w ill, have a w inning team." The re are m any things which m us t be mixed tog ether to form a v ictorious t eam. Among these thing~ <i.re e C'' rcient rn;ichin g, s ufficienL

spirit to play footba ll. These are t he basic spic_es of a team ; · mix them well and you have an unb eata ble combination. They cannot be th rown together haphazardly, and· there should be an equal portion of each. You know the coaches, and the spirit of Lincol n teams ha~ ne\·er been questioned, so let me tell you a bi t abo ut the team, and the training it has received. Forty-two candidates , dampened both physically and· mentally by a cold drizzling rain that h ad fallen for two days, reported for practice on August 25, opening da y of t he football season at Lincoln high school. ·The t eam, after a shor t chalk talk, got off to a n early start in their physical conditioning, a phase which is not yet fini shed as long as football is a n organized game. Of these f or ty- tw o hopef uls, few were in perfect condition, indeed, few were in any kind of condition a t all but bad, and there w ere more than a few sore muscles and creaking bones on ihe squad for a f ew days. But practice went. on and in a short ti 1n t

Keen-Time l( lub Is Big Success
Girls sports are getting well under way this week so all the girls who a re interest ed in getting letters or emblem s this semester should report t o the gymnasium. Watch bulletin board for notices. Tap dancing classes and sp eedball w ill be h eld every M onday and Wedn esd ay a nd r hythmTc dancing every Tuesday and Thursday. There will also be swim m ing classes every Tuesday and Thursday if enough girls wish t o com e . out. . If . not, archery classes will be h eld inst ead on t he sam e nights. All sports star t at 3:20 in the gymnasium . If just the mere fun of sports is not sufficient incentive for participating in after school sports, one- h alf h our credit for every n ine times a girl attends is given plus the follow ing awa r ds : The first year sh e ear ns a place on a t ea m, she r eceives an emble m ; the second year sh e r eceives a place on the same team she receives a letter. Girls w ho w ish to play in the tennis tournament sign u p in the gir ls gymnasium right a w ay .
An yon e who w ishes to sell a t the Lincoln high football g am es and earn a salesm an ship emblem, see Miss Story or Miss M iller down in the gymnasium as soon a s possible . If y ou see a gro up of girls str olling out of school a nd down in the direction of t he Sunken Garden a n d A n telope park, it 's on l y t h e gym na siu m c la sses ou t t o view the trees, bees and t he like of n ature w hile medical examinations are being given . Soon you w ill probably be hearing groans a nd bone cracking as the y begin calesth en ics or big sp la shes as the swimming classes start. G. A . A . m eeti ngs ar e held ever y second and fou rth Wednesdays. Here is another school ,year of swimming and the gir l s ar e still deprived of badly needed ba thing caps and te nnis shoes.
Keen-Time K l ub dances held during the s um mer at Antelope park pavilion proved to be a big success. "Stardus t" and "The Shiek of Ara bic" p layed by Eddie Gardner and his orchestra, wer e favorites of t he dancers. The in termissions w ere filled w ith tap dances and p iano "boogies." To b e eligible for member sh ip in the club, students were required to be out of junior high an d under 18. J ean Car ter served as ch airman of the general committee anri Van Westover a s secr etary. Those in char ge of committees were Chick K night, Jim Yonney and Jackie G ordon , floor show ; Bill Boy rlson, decorations; Irving Dana, rules ; Va n Westover. Jay H abiland and Russ Tudor, dance; Harris Gra ves, games ; Georgia Lemon, publicity; B erna Jea n Clark and Peggy M c Mu 11 en, m embers hip, and Margaret Bowen, h osts and hostesses. The gen eral opinion seems to be that everyone had a good time iricluding the chaper ons, who took p art in the frivali t y as much as t he teen-ager~. The club proved to be an exce'. lent summer enter tainment for all.

Coach Emory Priefort's Coll ege View eleven, overpowered Coach Chuck Worrall's Lincoln reserves, Friday afternoon, 13-6, a t t h e Lincoln high school oval. Th e reserves led at halftime by the score of 6- 0. The Link seconds scored their lone tally in the first quarter on an 80 yard march down the field. The Red and Black started their long march on a series of running plays by Aguirre, who made big gains through large holes in the College View line. Then a pass from Aguirre to Mariscal put the ball in scoring position. The touchdown came shortly after when Aguirre from a yard out d rove over tackle for the scor e. White's attempt at t he e x tra p oin t went wide of the goal post. College View st arting from its own 25 yard line early in the third quarter drove 7 5 yards for its fi rst score. With Epp, Paulson a nd K . M iller alternati ng in carrying the ball, College View drove down the . field w ith K. Miller running right end for the score. Wahlen converted the extra point to put College View 01.it in front.. The clin cher came wh en after another long College View drive early in the fourth quarter, J. Hornby went over for a score. It was Epp a nd P a ulson who spearheaded the College View offense while Aguirre, White, and Mariscal were top performers for .t he Link seconds.

A nother reason for pinning t he "dark horse" title upon St. Joe is because the coming figh t with Lincoln is her first grid contest this y ear, a nd her power and strength need be proved upon the Links home stamping grounds.

Politics, Military Education Issue Of New Survey
Politics and compulsory military .e ducation are the subjects in which Lincoln high school will participate in the September poll of the Institute, of Student Opin· ion. The Institute, a national organization sponsored by Scholastic Magazines, has a charter membership of more than 1,200 senior and junior· high school publications, whose staffs conduct student opinion polls on timely and significant questions. The September poll will meazure high school student opinion on choice of candidates in the forthcoming presidential election and also on proposed postwar youth training programs. Students will be asked which of the presidential nominees they · could cast their vote for, if they were of voting age today. A follow-up question asks if they believe that their parents will vote for the i;;ame candidate they would. ' The questions based on proposed postwar youth training programs will cover both President Roosevelt's suggestion of a year's national service, not necessarily military, for boys between the ages of 17 and 23 and also the proposal of a year's compulsory military training program for youth, as urged by Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson. The survey will be conducted by the Advocate. To get a cross section of the school pupils in selected classes w ill be asked to fill out individual ballots and

High school students interested are encouraged to join the Guild. A year's membership will cost a. pupil only twenty-fiv e cents, while an adult membership is one dollar. The Guild reports that. the autumn and ,spring exhibitions will continue as usual. Another note of interest is the fact that a perma nent workshop and studio for soldier artists . is now at the U .

Mr. Young Senses Hastings Blast J . D. Young, head of science department, sensed · something strange going on Friday, September 16, when during first period he was sitting in laboratory the doors at both ends of the room began swinging open in precise rhythm. Mr. Young believes the cause of this was the Hastings ammunition explosion that day as he figured about the time it occurred and the incident happened at almost the same time ·as the explosion 100 miles away. Mr. Young after the disturbance asked . the hall guard, Phyllis Long, stationed outside the laboratory that period if there· had been anyone in the hall. There had not been! Unfortunately, the only seismograph, which records earth waves in Lincoln, belonging to Wesleyan university was not in use at the time but. would probably have recorded the waves. It has recorded waves from all the way around the world. Mr. Young has one record taken from the machine which showed the earthquake in Turkey in 1939.

L.H.S. Grad Is Party Head Herbert Brownell, Jr., graduate in 1920 of Lincoln high at the age of 16, became national chairman of the republican party this summer.

From the Hi-Point We all realize how much war changes our fives. The armed services, war work, or broken-up homes hit most high school graduates during war time. The problem now is how soon this war will be over, and will another one ever arise. In Europe, events are moving swiftly toward a climax. Russia rolls through the liberated Balkans and Poland. Partisans and sabotage weak en Germany's stronghold in her conquered countries. Allied armies in Italy rush on. And on the western front, both in the north at Holland and Luxembourg, and in the south at Belfort, the Germans are being steadily pushed back. Paratroopers dropped behind the German lines joined the British armies invading Holland, ·and it was a decisive blow against the Germans. They are however, resisting bitterly, and losses on both sides will not be low. Military experts predict the end will come this year, but many a high school youth of today, or his relatives,
.i\. t-
of View
will serve . in the military occupation force. Ov er on the other side of the world, the trend is not as enheartening. Though a successful carrier attack on the Philippines was recently carried out, the situation in C'hina is very grave. Japanese forces driving up from Inda-China have met the southwestern bound Japs driving inland. China is cut in half, and practically eliminated from the war. We all know the miserable fighting conditions in the Pacific, many of us will soon be there. The problem of a lasting peace has been discussed at several international conferences the most recent being those at Quebec and Dumbarton Oaks. The welcoming sounds issuing forth from these conferences were the complete cooperation and harmony with which each agreement was made. So we can see that many of us mu,~t go overseas, to ma intain order. or to fight, and we can only hope that our children will not have·•lo do the same. ,e
'Picture of the Week' Will Be Chosen From Snapshots by Students Under the sponsorship of the camera club, every week beginning Monday, October 9, a picture or a snapshot submitted to the camera· club in room 302 from any member of the student body, boy or girl, will be chosen as the "Picture of the Week."

History .Discusses Prohibition Bill A debate on prohibition took up all but three minutes of R. M . H:.nscn·s period 3 mod er:: histo:ry 2 class, September 15. In the news that day the petition for prohibition was mentioned and a discussion started when Dick Mason asked Mr. Hansen if he thought it would pass. After that the class joined in. Some of the pupils led by Mr. Hansen thought that it would pass because the petition had 50,000 signers and each would influence about 2 or 3 votes. The church, and the Anti-Liquor League, are also behind it. Others led by Dick Mason thought it would not because the soldiers would nof support it. Also the League of men and women against prohibition are fighting against it. After about 35 minutes of discussion Mr. Hansen closed the argument saying, "We will have to continue some other time."
Hi-Y Holding First Meeting Tonight The first meeting tonight of the Hi-Y will be h,eld as an open meeting.

We Will Run The Future World; Can We Do It? When we think of school many morbid and monotonous thoughts enter into our minds. School is too much routine, discipline, and work, as far as we are concerned and we learn to dislike it. If only we knew how much the 'kids' from other countries desired to participate in a school and learn, we might begin to think more of t.h e great advantages that are of· fered to us. There are schools in some other countries, yes; in some, no. The schools of the United States rank highest in schoolastic education, and individual development, and variety of study. The young people today will run the world tomorrow. Those young people should adopt themselves to be adequately suited for their future places in tomorrow's world. Thus we, the young generation of today, should make the very best use of the privileges which are offered to us, get do\.rn to business, and be great in knowledge for the responsibilities our shoulders, not our father's or grandfather's, but our shoulders will hold in the future.
Write Those Boys In The Service; You Must!! Hurry, push, rush, is a good picture of a railroad station anytime you are there. It is also a place of happiness and tears. The b oys just dr aftet1., or tbe 0.nP,s who have just graauated from l1ig;h s cho ol and enlisted, ~landing there saying goodbye to t heir m oth" rs, father s, sisters, bro thers, sweet hearts, wives, everyone wanting to cry but also wan ting to be brave. Yes, John and Dick and all the other boys won't see you for a long time, but they will come back someday and everyone will be happy. The t rain is ready to pull out n ow and your heart sinks down to your shoes. The train is moving slowly, now faster, faster. The boys are gone. You try to see the car he is in, but you can't see it; yes, you do and start to cry. It is all right now, he won't see you cry, so go ahead. Going home seems very short, it seems lonesome, but you make yourself forget to cry. You will write to him, won't you?
Let's Start The Semester Right By Studying Hard After those final examinations last sem ester, you no doubt spent the summer recuperating! Ther efore it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to start this semester out right , by preparing ea ch daily lesson. As you know by now, cramming is of no use. The much simpler and vital way is to know what happens in class every day. When the last examination was over and her books put away for the summer, one girl made the following resolution s: (1) .To stay awake in cla ss each day ! (2). Stop writing letters to friends in class. (3 ). Don't watch troop trains when they pass by. ( 4). Concentrate more on what the teacher is saying than on the next football game! (5). Use talkativeness t o recite on the lesson inste9.d of chatting with n eighbors. .A!l ::if these ar e wonderful r esolutions for others to adopt.
:V-Day! Peace! Liberty! Observe In Remembrance Before many weeks have passed, the day that the world has been hoping, praying and dying for, should arrive. This brings up the question how V-Day should be observed. Should V-Day be a day of hilarious joy and excitement, of parades and demonstrations? In the lig ht of what has t aken place in the last five years this would n ot seem t r ue. We would in a sense be making a mockery of all the tortures man has had to endure, and all the sacrifices humanity has made. We should not be joyously excited for two r easons ; first, the job has n ot been completed with the downfall of Germany, we still face a brutal and treacherous foe ; second we will be emer ging from t he most humiliating, darkest era in man 's history on earth. V-Day· should be a day of thankfulness, prayer and humility, a day in which we pray for the strength of our leaders t o see that such a thing can n ever happen again.

Logical Definition School: A place where young boys and girls go to learn, but is better for wearing out the seat of a fellow's best pair of pants. The Office: The place to go after being tardy, better known as the tall story club. Library: A place to go to when the teacher won't let you sleep in study hall. Study hall: The place to go when the teachers won't let you sleep in the library. Blackboards: A place to offer your opinion of the teacher. Grade slips: V cry similar to the well known death warrant. A grade of 1: Corresponds in many ways to the missing link.

Guy Dean has been seen with a girl from Irving named Pat K. We are your friends, Dean, we won't tell. Did you know that it has been learned from reliable sources that many, if not all, of the boys playing on Northeast football team are going with L.H.S. girls. This goes to show that there isn't any poor sportsmanship between the two schools. (The boys have no comment to make they said.)

Woman. Woraan-She's an angel in truth, a demon in fiction. A woman's the greatest of all contradiction. She's afraid of a cockroach, she'll scream at a mouse, But she'll tackle a husband as big as a house. She'll take him for better, she'll take him for worse; She'll split his head open and then be his nurse ; And when he is well and can get out of bed, She'll pick up a teapot and throw at his head. She's faithful, deceitful, keen sighted and blind ; She':; cr«.f ty, she's simple, she's cruel, and sh e's kind : She·11 lift a man up, she'll cast a man down; . She;ll make him her hero, her ruler, her clown. You fancy she's this, but you find that she's that; For she'll play like a kitten and fight like a cat; In the morning she will in the evening she won't; And you're always expecting she will, but ' she don't.

Here's advice to all you love-lorn Lincoln boys from the cartoonist, Lichty: (a father to son talk). "Before you get serious, Junior, think!!!- Is she the woman you want to wear your pants, select your ties, use your razor and dent your fenders the rest of your life ? ? ?"

When I consider how my life is spent, It seems that always lciw m yhead is bent Over some dull book in a bothersome class Yet with all this effort I fail to pass. B. A. J. Many of Lincoln high's, 1944, June graduates have enter ed the armed forces. Watch your advocate for their names and the branch of the service they joined. We all wish them good luck.

A rather large group of people were being shown around a famous battle ground of a past war. The guide, stopping to point at a bronze plaque on the ground said, "And this is where our gallant Captain fell." 4 n ervous old lady in t he front : "It's no wonder. I nearly fell over the crazy thing myself."

Between the Book Ends
Teachers are good at telling students what · to do with their spare moments, but the time has come when som eone should set up some good rules as to what one can busy himself with if he is bored with it all (which he usually is). In the morning, the pupils 'ln the east side of the building are at a disadvantage because the window shades are pulled down to keep out the rising sun, thus blocking the way for window'." gazing-the best, or recommended means of occupying time. Because of this situation, it is suggested that each bring his own amusements-as Russian peanuts, w hich are both nourishing and occupying (if one doesn't .mind excusing himself after school pushing the broom handle), or bubble gum, which is just as occupying. In lieu of the peanuts and gum, a chatty person near you wi ll :furnish an excellent substitute.

The north side is the educat ional side. One may learn vast amounts about foo tball, baseball, and what t ime the street cars go by.

I am a hall guar d third period, directly in front of the band room. The shades on the doors are drawn just half-way, so I can see of the occupants of the room only from their shoulders down. It is interesting to observe their actions while they are practicing. Near me is a girl, dressed in t he L. H. S. colors, playing a violin. When the music is slower, she gently taps her right foot on t he floor. As it gets faster, she begins to tap both feet, and finally begins wa ving them both in the air, playing frantically all the time. Now and then she crosses one leg over the other, and taps the free foot in the air. She seems to be a rat her high-strung individual, for when she stops playing, she continues waving her bow in the air, and tapping her
foot. At the left, ju st bar ely in my line of vision, is a brown shoe, with a red stocking, protruding from the top- t hat is all. It keeps up a r h ythmic tapping w ith t he music, seeming more like some n iachine
t.h~n

Sweaters A.re Main Part of Girls Wardrobe F ashions this fall h ave the m ore fitted sweaters in their styles, but the girls a t L. H . S. still seem to include the "sloppy Joe" type in their w ar drobe. You know the kind you pull a b it here and there to make them sag: Then just give a quick jerk a t the r ight place and that seems to be all that goes into making the sweaters look just right. There's an art to it though but it's all just in knowing h ow. Th e process is first just slipping it over the head and pulling itdown. Marching to the mirror you begin the t wisting to and fro. No, that isn't quite it. M aybe if you just could m ake it a little longer . You see the m ore baggy and sacky t hey are t he b etter . Pull it here and then it's too long so you begin an u pward sweep. The a ctual w ork is on ly begin ning really. You have t he sleeves yet to do. They t oo, must be long, so in the beginning you stretch them downward, outwa rd , inwa rd and sideways. P erhaps they should be pushed u p, so turning the cuffs up you slip t hem up and glan ce in t he m irror to see what your efforts ha ve r esulted in. Mm, not bad. Really f ellows, this is w hat goes into putting on ,a sweater each morning. You should b e glad you'r e a boy!
Have You Tried Conserving Your Car By Walking? Where do these people w ith cars ( ? ) get them? S tatistics show that nearly a million car s a year go into the scrap p ile. Informat ion about wher e these scrap piles are will be welcomed. After all, one can't be t oo pa rt icula!', can on e? Of course various ways of con serving your ca r h ave been suggested. If you find the trea d o:i. your tires getting t hin, try g oing around corners on two wheels instead of all four. If this doesn't work, t r y riding on t h e rims. If the gas shortage is b othering you, try kerosene or ether. If th e ether does an y damage, just turn in w hat's left t o the scrap heap a nd use your feet.

Sterling Morton high school of Cicero, Ill. Lincoln high
is about the same size as J. Sterling Morton high although the classes are arranged some differently. The school has three shifts, one beginning at 7:45 and the last ending at 7:45. Jeanne h a l her classes w ith subjects similar to those here which lasted from 7:45 to 12:30. The 40,000 pupils came from other suburbs of Chicago and the small towns around Cicero. "I think Lincoln high is super," says Marjorie Dingman, who at tended Teachers College high school last year. The size and the friendliness impressed her the :first day of school. "Everyone seemed glad to assist where assistance was needed, and the first day or so I need•)d plenty. The many clubs and organizations impressed m e. The wide choice of subjects and t he council interested m e," she declared.

Norman Case Wins Honors 'Lincoln Skyline' Wins Grand Prize in Lincoln Camera Club Contest Displayed on the cover of the September issue of the "Nebraska Alumnus" is a picture taken by Norman Case, llB, which shows an unusual and detailed· view of the skyline of Lincoln. "Lincoln Skyline," as Norman has· entitled it, was photographed from Pioneer's Park with one of the several duck ponds in the immediate foreground. Towering over Lincoln's many tall buildings in the background is the Nebraska State Capitol. This is not the first time the picture has been prined, however, as it has appeared several times in Lincoln· newspapers. It also won the grand prize last surri.mer in the Lincoln Camera . club contest, though it was awarded third prize in the landscape division. This picture occupies a prominent place in the mayor's office and in six other offices in Lincoln. Norman has been interested in photography for four years, and was president of Lincoln high' s camera club last semester. He is also a member of the Lincoln camera club, and has had numerous pictures printed in the papers. A large amount of the photography in the 1944 "Links" was done by him also.
Pupil Appears On Two Radio Programs, N. Y. Bob Graham, junior, spent nine weeks in New Yor k City, taking accordian instructions from Joe Biviano, a very fine accordianist. ·Bob played many accordian solos in some fifteen resorts, and in large hotels and clubs. He played on "The Swingshift Follies" over the Blue network, and also on, "On Stage Everybody." Bob was asked to play with a USO show that tours the country, but did not accept. He has played at several USO centers. Here in Lincoln the USO wants Bob any time he can to play his accordian on Sunday afternoons. Two years ago he played on the Hobby Lobby program. He was given an opportunity to appear on the Major Bowes programs, but due to lack of time, was unable to do so. Bob is now playing the saxaphone in Dave Hahn's orchestra.
bership. A summer session at Oxford university with her sister, followed by a tour of France and Italy gave her a clearer background of good feeling for the British. She also studied extensively at the University of California. Of her H. C. Mardis, principal, said, " Miss Anderson was a well trained, conscientious worker who always kept her duty to the school foremost in her activities. In adidtion to a full schedule of classes she served for many years as efficient head of the very important auditing committee, handling all matters of ticket sales and extra curricular fund accounting." "As chairman of the auditing committee, Ellen Anderson was faithful to all the various and exactfrig ·duties of that committee," stated Miss E sther Lefler. "Thos~ of us who worked under her as committee members, were impressed by her great efficiency, gentleness, and courtesy to faculty and student body alike. In all the years she headed the auditing committee, never a dress rehearsal nor performance was given without her presence at the main door. It was a sincere regret to committee members when Miss Anderson decided, because of. failing health, she must relinquish the chairmanship of this committee." " The passing of Miss Anderson is a loss keenly felt by her coworkers in the mathematics department," said Miss Inez Cook, head of the department. "Her interest and broad. experience in her work, her willingness to share it with her fellow teachers, together with her kind, sympathetic manner with pupils have made her a true friend to both teachers and pupils in Lincoln high school." Her sister, Miss Amanda E. Anderson, formerly of Omaha Central high school, taught her classes last semester for several weeks.

William H. L awrence, '32, a war corresponden t in R ussia for the New York Times, writes that he "may stay there indefinitely after the war," stated Lt. ( j .g.) Alfred G. Norling '33 schoolmate of Mr. Lawren ce, in a letter to Miss Emma Beekmann. Lawrence has traveled widely over Russia and covered m any i nteresting phases of bot h home and war fronts in that sector.

Anny a t Ru~8 ia ' s Back," for t h e magazine section of the New York Times Mr. Lawrence stated, "For m any years the S oviet s have h ad a universal system of military training and this has vastly ·lightened the load imposed on training facilities by the outbreak of total war. In a ddition there are many ex amples of pr eliminary t raining to be found in the secondary schools from which a b oy of 14-16 is g.raduated with a knowledge of how to operat e a rifle, m achine-gun, or mortar." In telling of the appreciation of the Russian people who h ave received aid from the. Russian War Relief, Mr. Lawrence w irelessed the following message to his paper: "To each individual contribu tion is attached a card bearing the na me of the donor . On the card is a place for the recipient, i"f he cares to cio it, to send a reply." ·Two of the most appealing, quot ed by Mr. Lawrence were these: "To Mimi Deschulthness, 6711 Van Nuys Boulevard, Van Nuys, California from Ta m ara Kitayeva, Dear Friend, I r eceived yoi.r gift. Thank you, I am 15 years old. During the day I work in a munitions factory. In the evening I study. My brother is at the front. I h aven't had· any word from him for a long time. Write me what you are doing for Victory ." " To Pearl S . Low, San Francisco, from Tamara Titona: I am 11 years old and study in the fourth grade. My papa is a t t he front. It is a year since I received mail from him, but I am sure he will return. Write me about your papa. Where is he fighting ? Thank you for the gift." Mr. Lawrence's four-column story on the Maidenal tortore factory appeared in the August issue · of the magazine section of the New York Times.
High Spot Will Be Held Again After one year of success, t he Hi-Spot will again be held this year although the plans for it cannot be established until t he city recreation board gives the starting signal. "If the kids want it, we'll have it," is the encouraging remark of H . C. Mardis, principal. When the Hi-Spot was held last year it proved very popular in giving the entire student body of Lim:oln high something they called " really super" to do on Friday n ight when no other school activity was functioning. Dancing proved especially popular as did the "Snack Bar," swimming pool, and game room.

Capitol Building Inspires Rangeler Hugh T . Rangeler, vocal director in Lincoln high scho9l, has composed a new song. The inspiration for this song was given to Mr . Rangeler from the inscriptions on t he front of th e Capitol building. It is in the nature of a patriotic song emphasizing good citizenship and good government, although t he song itself is based on t he in scriptions. The purpose of this song is to help interpret the capitol b uilding a nd promote good citizenship. The Lincoln h igh school ch oir, u n der the direction of Mr. Rangcler, is n ow giving the song a t rial and will a lso name it at a further date.

Students Asked Opinions. P upils in terviewed as to why they voted as they did , gave various answers. N ancy Moore, a junior, said, "I think three terms are enough for one man to serv e as President. I believe that Dewey w ould make a very fi ne president." K ay Hayes said, "I think it's wrong to change presidency dur,.. ing a war. Put a new man in and he wouldn't know the inner plan s for the war progr am which might prolong .it if a·n other t ook ov er." Lucille Brownson stated, . "I think like a l ot of others that three terms is enough for any man to serve. And as far as putting a new man ih, I think Dewey would do a fine job." Joan Shirey believes that 1f Roosevelt is elected to a fourth term, com p lications may set in after the war. He has carried a load t hrou gh this war as it is and if he is still President w hen it is over, there will be a harder j ob ahead for him. "I don't believe he can hold the responsibility of a f ourth term!!!!!," she explained. "My opinion of the election is for Roosevelt because he has had the experience i n war time with leaders both in foreign countries and at home," says Bill Lien.
From the Hi~ Point of View By Ted Sorensen. News on t he home front centers around the coming presidential election . The campaign is under way. Neither t he solid Rep ublican midw est , including Nebraska, Dewey'se stronghold or th e solid Democratic Sou th is going to change its mind. All t he siogans, mud-slingin, or speeches put forth by eitther side will not take away these votes. However there is a la rge number of middle-o! the-roaders, stat es wher e neither candidate has an edge. These include large states such as New Yor k , California, Missouri and others. It is for this that the fireworks are explodin g. Most of the speech-making so far has been done by New York's Governor Dew ey and Ohio's Govern or B ricker. Candidate Dewey has traveled throu ghout the w est

in a speech making and conference t our, including a stop-off in western Nebraska. Governor Bricker has been on a v igorous eastern tour. However, Truman and Roosev elt have not been idle. The form er also has made several speeches throughout the country. The President has so far made one speech, before the International Te amsters Union. So the good old USA is once again in the thorts of politics. Lots of steam is being let off. Some are going to get hurt . Some will lose bets. Some will wonder at the benefit s of a two party, system. But all will be over Nov emb er 8, the day after the election, then once again the American people will settle down to the tasit of winning the war.
Students Must Be Prepared Fern Hubbard Tells Teachers They Have Vital Role to Play Miss Fern Hubba rd, distributive education t eacher, r ecently addressed the Lincoln t eachers on the important role the teachers have to play in preparing children and young people for t he new tasks which confront our country and on her t rip during the summer to the National E ducational A ssociation in Pittsburgh as their delegates. Miss Hubbard is president of the Lincoln teachers association. In her speech, Miss Hubbard gav e the following facts on our present voting p opulation. "For ev ery college graduate t here is a vot er with n o education or only a first gr ade education. For every college gra du ate t here are three voters who have only a fourth grade edu cation or less. There ar e more voters w ith only a seventh grade education or less than there are high school gradua tes. Fifty-six percent of our v oters have had only an eighth grade education or less." Miss Hubbard emphasized tha t unless th ere is an i ncrease in both the amount and qualit y of the ed ucation of ou r voters, we as a n ation may be unfit to meet the critical days ahead.
Merchant M·a rine Is Welcomed Rv Ihu·ricHne .t A raging, h owling hurricane was the w elcoming committ ee for Boatsw ains Mate 2/ c C arl Greisemer of the Merchant Marine Army Transport Service on his recent return to this country. Greisemer w ithdrew from Lincoln high in Janua r y of 1944, and after his t raining w as assigned t o transport d uty on the A tlantic. He has spent t he l ast three months a board a tanker. As the convoy headed h omeward aft~r their last crossing the ships ran into t he recent hurricane off th e Atlantic coast. "Men w ere on their k nees on deck praying, an d m ilk cans b ounced around like p eas in a pod," recalled Greisemer. "A ship can sway at a 30 degree a ngle before capsizing, and our was going the full 30 degrees." On another crossing the transport was hit by a t orpedo, and it was Carl's job to w atch one of t he fifteen wat er- tight doors, While the men were p reparing to aband on the ship if necessary, Carl had to stay below to see t hat the door rem ained closed. " But I was t oo busy to be scared," he stat ed. Assigned t o super vising German prisoners on wor k detail aboard the transpt>rt, Carl had a chance to use his h igh school Ger man. Although he found German uninteresting and rather hard in school, he picked it u p rapidly when it w as necessary. Carl finds the Merchan t Marine much to his lik ing, a nd plans to remain in it after the war.
Mummers Have Purchased New Stage Furniture New furniture bought b y Mummers will complet e a ll stage settings for presentations i n the future. During one of the last m eetings of the prev ious school y ear; t he members of Mummers voted that some of the money in t he tr easury be used for t he purchase of some furni ture for stage settings. This would be useful in presenting pl ays. A committee was ch osen t o select it. The furniture includes a gateleg-table, four chairs, desk, coffee table, book case a nd occasion al chair. These, added to the overstuffed set p ur chased by Mummers two years ago and draperies, glass curtains and door chimes purchased from l a st y ear sen iors after thei r p lay, p rov ide fairly good stage equ ipment for p lays.
New Report Cards Shown at Faculty Meeting "Service men ret urning to h igh school from the w ar fronts · of the world will get credit for special training received in the ser vice," . sa id H. C. Mardis, explaining Tu esday at t he s~cond faculty m eeting of the year, one of sev• era! changes p rop osed at the annu al m eeting of The Nort h Cent ral Associat on of Secondary Schools in Chicago, March 22. S uch subjects as radio, mathematics, histor y, literature, and physical education, will be evalu ated by this school following s tan dar d t ests given by the Army a nd Navy personnel. Mr. Mardis called a~ention to the fact that Lincoln high school has already been in line w ith this p olicy. S tudents who have not had p r evious high sch ool training in typewriting or similar courses may receive credit for. down town · wor king experience in an office if they can p ass tests proving t hat they k now their subjects and are capable of going on to a h igher course. Thu s a pupil m ig ht en ter typewriting 3 and earn cr edit for fift een hours. Discussing the three new types of report cards, Mr. Mardis suggested that various teachers use different• reports to det ermine which is mose desirable for that s ubj ect. Most of the t eachers fa• vored the t hird type. In a ddition to the new report forms there a re n ow check ing lists by means of which p upils a n d teachers may evalu ate pupils on s uch matters as cour tesy, dependability, effort, and legibility of writing. The first type of card leans heavily on a pupil's self analysis pl us lhe teacher ';; cvmments. The second co~~.::::n;.:; lists oi inipvrtant factors which the teacher ch ecks to aid the p upil in directing h imself toward improvement. The third has a d etailed sheet for t he teacher to mark the calls for a scholarship r ating on a seven p oi nt scale. All cards h ave been worded .in such a manner that parents may easily keep in touch w ith pupils' work. One of the essential di fferences i n the ne w report card is that the parents' . signatur e along with helpful comments m ust be brought back to t h e home room teacher. Rededication will be t he not e of Lincoln on V-day rather t han noisy celebration "V-E day when it comes," s tated Mr. Mardis, " is a time for a recognition of t he: sacrifices m a de t o secure victory in E urope, and a rededication to get the job done in the P acific ." Ther e can not be any definite p lans made for V-E day because of the uncertainty of the time w hen the event w ill occu r.

Lockers Superhunian, But Have a Liniit Lockers, those superhuman seemingly indistructable green objects that line both sides of the corrid~. There doesn't seem to be anything they can't withstand and without a doubt almost everything has been tried. Old man locker has given in to only one thing, which should be natural, opening and closing of his frontal anatomy. Occasionally he will suffer from some oppressor who has forgotten his combination and has succeeded in securing the aid of fellow locker owners to help in "gently" opening it. Each take turns in placing his feet against a neighboring locker, grasping the handle and trying to get to the other side of the hall, finally giving up when something more interesting h as walked by or he ha s thought of some devilish plan to execute a perfect A.W.O.L. Their departure leaves the age old locker curved in the middle and bending in the joints with an acute attack of arthritis. Have you ever noticed when arriving at school earlier than usual that lonely gentleman tinkering with the lockers? He isn't there because he enjoys practicing the fine art of safe-cracking, but because of those few who don't give their lockers a break but use other means to acquire entrance to their "storage bins."

.'Cha,.ge of the Light Brigade' Ove,.whelming One of the most striking things that impresses visitors at L.H.S. is the halls. Well not the halls exactly, but what goes on in them just after the bell signals the end of the period. Visitors are standing peacefully in the halls minding their own business, when thcr~ come to their ears the ringing of a bell. At the same instant, as if set off by a trackman's starting gun, the doors of the rooms burst open and as they \Viden a few inches, out charge the young hopefuls who ·attend this noble institution of learning, hoping to pick up some of the same. It takes onlv an instant for the halls to change from the vision of peaceful quietude that first met the visitors eyes to the earsplitting, bonecrushing battle for survival that;_ now is spread before him. Can you imagine the halls of L.H.S. as this visitor thinks they ought to be? As the bell rings, the teachers dismissing the classes and pupils quietly file out. There is no noise in the halls of a great institution of learning. There are no people who are telling their friends at the other end of the hall where to meet them after school. Nor are there any young track hopefuls who are working out for the track season in the spring by seeing if they can do four laps of the halls in five minutes flat. Also there are no more of those individuals who charge eight abreast down the halls like a line of cavalry, trying to set a record for the numbers of casualties between periods.
Our Cafeteria Is The
Place Fo,. a Good lUeal!! "'Gosh, I'm starved" is a familiar phrase heard round about 11:30. "I wonder what they have in the cafeteria today." Whether you're raving mad with hunger or just want a light lunch,. you are ~ure ~'.: satisfaction at the cafeteria. A variety is the outstanding feature, all kinds of f~od prepar<.:!d as best knowp. how. Everythmg appears so fresh and clean. As you wait in line your eye catches sight of a big piece of chocolate cake or a juicy piece of your favorite pie. How nice the salads look. They are always prepared in the clever, ·appetizing manner. You always find an excellent array of vegetables. Whether you be a first luncher or last you will find plenty of warm food. As for the late lunchers, they need not eat just the left over; plenty has been prepared for them too. At Open House, held annually, the public is given a chance to inspect for themselves the immaculate kitchen in which the food is prepared. It is an airy, spacious kit~hen with all the necessities needed in preparation of foods.

It has been rumored that Bernard F. Nevin needs a pair of stilts or a rear view mirror. It seems as though the field is a bit rough and because he walks backwards while leading the band, Mr. Nevin frequently steps into some of the holes in the ground. Of course he hasn't been injured but the band members step in the holes too, and they say it's hard to see the leader when he's down in a hole and they're up above and vice-versa. Usually after practice you can see Mr. Nevin and some of the members of the band sitting on the curb emptying the sand and dirt out of their shoes. Members of the bass section of the orchestra looked rather surprised the other day when they heard Mr. Nevin say, "Put your instruments in: your mt>uth and get ready to play." They were relieved to find out that he was talking to the clarinet section.

Between the Book Ends By Margaret Robertson. To become better acquainted with the people and conditions in foreign countries, pupils can find books about them in the library under such titles as: "Syrian Yank" by Salom Rizk, "Myself When Young" or "A Boy in Persia,'' by Youel Benjamin Mirza, "My Boyhood in Siam' 'by Kummut Chandruang, "I've Come A Long Way" by Helena Kuo (the story of the saving of a Chinese university by a Chinese girl), "A Doctor's Holiday in Iran" by Rosalie Slaughter Morton, M. D., and author of "A \Voman Surgeon." Youel was the only name the author of "Myself When Young" had when he came to the Yen o Dunya, New World, so his friends persuaded him to take up the name of his grandfather Mirza Pachow and his uncle Benyamin.
Rug-trading, crude and sometimes wicked law-makers, superstitutions, queer worshiping, ail went into making up the life of a small Persian boy. Of course school was included in his life. He was taught by Rabbi Machiel, a stern man who punished the students with switches if they did not recite correctly in cla~s. Youel was punished even more than the others because he was the grandson of the; rn ini~~cr. ?ll?n y t!mcs the boy was !J~r mitted to go on jourr.eys into the Kurdish mountains with his Uncle Benyamin, the rug trader. This way he learned many things about rugs and used the knowledge later when he was going to a university in the United States by selling rugs in the summer vacation. It did not take long to become accustomed to the ways and customs of the Americans and so well did Youel like it that he never returned to Nazie, his native village. Solom Rizk was born in 1909 in Syria. Although he grew up as a Syrian, he later discovered that his mother had been an American ci;izen and he could claim American citizenship. Two uncles in Iowa paid his passage to the United States, but when he arrived in this country he was penniless and had no knowledge of our language. This story is contained in Syrian Yankee by Solom Rizk. When Rizk arrived in America he became employed in a variety of employments. He finished high school in a very short time and later lectures under the auspices of the Reader's Digest. "Russia" by Bernard Pares, "America's Foreign Policies" by Thomas Bailey, "Mexico" by Hubert Herring, "The Lost Battalion" by Thomas Johnson and Fletcher Pratt, and "Plants We Eat and Wear" by Jaques are the five booklets which the Lincoln high school library has recently received.
Business Girls Club Is Discontinued The business girls club has been discontinued for this semester. If there are enough girls interested, they will begin again next semester.

Historv .., Cias.s Argues About Nov. Election Movin g all the democrats to one side of the room and all the republicans to the other is a step being considered in R. M. Hansen's argumentative third period history class. Dick Mason, who claims he is neither, but strongly upholds the democratic side of the argument, says that the democrats should get the side . of the room nearest the window so when the republicans lose the election, the democrats can stop them from jumping out. Bill Rolfsmyer, who really is neutral, will argue against anyone supporting either party; consequently he gets more than his share of the "gib gabbing." During the discussion where the one with the loudest voice prevails, Mr. Hansen is vainly pounding his fist on his desk and stamping his feet on the floor trying to stop the recitation. Then the clock finally ticks lunch time and the first half is ended.
War Council Committee Holds Its First Meeting The war council, composed of six faculty members and five pupils, held its first meeting last Thursday, at which time, future· plans were discussed. The faculty members are Miss Mildred Kemp, chairman, Miss Ethel Murray, Mrs. Mary Mapes, Miss Inez Cook, Clarence Evans, 0. E. Hedrick and Lee Kuhn. Harris Graves is student chairman, and presided at the meeting. The other student members are Joan Farrar and Neil Atkinson of the student council, and Marjorie Walker and Dale Hatch of the home room representatives.
Visitor From Minnesota Observes Classes in Session in Lincoln "Observation for college credit brings me to Lincoln high," stated Miss Elaine Paulsen, a student of Gustavus Adolphus college, in St. Peter, Minnesota. "When in high schooi at Lyons, Neb.," stated Miss Paulsen. "I served as assistant editor for the high school annual and at the same time was a reporter for the town paper. Incidentally my first contact with L.H.S. was when I debated ag2inst you." After graduating from high school, her next move took her to Luther College in Wahoo, Nebr. Studying there for two years, Miss Paulsen w a s the associate editor of the Luther Visitor, and

After taking training in Wahoo, Miss Paulsen left for Gustavus Adolphus college where she occasionally contributed copy, and was again on ihe annual staff. · "I surely enjoyed the Advocate's class atmosphere; it's very 'peppy' " remarked Miss Paulsen. "Your individual criticisms were ·also very interesting." Out of school for one semester, Miss Paulsen has been doing church work in the east, and is now registered for observation and practice teaching. She hopes to sponsor a paper along with teaching in the future.

Westphalia, as early as 1242 by the Monks of the Cappenberg Monastery. Yearly the monks presented, during Holy Week, in its simplicity and with the deepest reverence for the world's greatest dramatic event, the story of the Man of Nazareth. All characters both male and female parts were interpreted by the Monks themselves, and the dialogue spoken in Latin. In the seventeeth century when due to the lack of necessary space, the production was moved outside, a decisian was reached to turn over to the laity of the village the task of interpretation. The actors were chosen on the basis
of moral fitness. At this time a tradition of training the offspring to succeed the adults in the char• acters of the Passion Play was started. Josef Meir, a native of Luenen, is of the seventh genera• tion to play in religious presentations, his father having played the part of "Christus" before him. In 1932 Josef Meir brought the production to the American continent, and at that time trans• lated the speaking parts into the English language. It 1938 Mr. Meier became an American citizen and established a permanent home for the Passion Play in the Black Hills near Spearfish, South Dakota, which has become a National Shrine. There is found the largest Passion Play stage in the world with a natural amphi· theater seating 8,000 people. The play is given during the three summer months. The present cast is composed of members of nearly every Christian Faith, and all of them are American citizens. The Black Hills Passion Play is historically and Biblically correct and is presented reverentally and in the manner not offensive to Christians.
Courteous Pupil Gets War Club "It pays to be nice to customers," is the opln!on of Bob Mosher, sophomore at Lincoln high, who received a war club from the southwest Paciifc from a man he has never met. L ast spring, Bob, working in a local department store, sold a woman a belt for which she needed a cl<i.sp_ Si.ncA the ~r.ore '.'! 8 s out. of clasps, Bob :tgrr!ed to iake :..:Ti':! c! h Ls O'WI!. to 1.1 P.l'.
Thinking of him as being thoughtful, the customer, Mrs. D. M. Arganbright, told her husband, who was to receive the belt and clasp, about Bob. Lt. (j.g.) Arganbright wrote Bob from the Southwest Pacific on June 14, 1944. He described the natives as being very friend• ly and some able to talk and un• derstand English. The letter read, "There are beautiful palm trees and beautiful .parrots flying around. All in all, it's a ·wonderful place for a vacation." Lt.

Elevier was then sen t to Ca lifornia, and on J uly 17, 1944, he was ship ped out. As far as is k nown he is working on a ir fields on some island somew here.

Gerlach Runs 65 Yards For Lincoln Score Fighting spirit and a grim tenacity were t he watchwords and characteristics of both Sioux City East and L incoln high gridders as they tangled under the mazdas on the Iowan's home grounds, fighting each other to a 6~6 tie, Friday. The Black Raiders of Sioux City, climaxing a seemingly unstopable steam-roller drive, set up the tying score on pla y by fullback Ray Burnight, who plunged through the center of the Lincoln line to cross the goal from the one yard stripe. The Orange and Black gridders began their 75 yard scoring drive from deep in their own terirtory when fleet Bill Murphy, acting game-captain for the Raiders, d rove around his own left end to the Lincoln 40, thus setting the stage for his team-mates who, f eeling Lincoln ground un der their feet, drove the r est of the way for the touchdown. The stands wer e quiet as the Sioux City team prepared to att empt the point after the touchdown. E ven the lifeless concrete walls of the stadium seemed tense. A ·deciding issue was ended when Burnight, rushed har d by a fast charging Lincoln line, got off a kick that sailed high and wide from the u prights by a long margin. The Links, characteristically scoring early in the game, took possession of the lead long b efore the first period gun had sounded on a 63 yard run by halfback John Gerlach, who tucked in a lateral pass from Gene Kelley off the T -formation. This particular piece of b all-toting w as a fine example of down-field bl ocking and broken- field running on the part of the Red and Bl ack gridders. Al Berquist's kick for the e xtra p oint, headed straight for the uprights, was knocked down by h ard ch arging Raiders who drove through the Lincoln forward wall. This inability of both teams to complete the conversion might well have cost either t he game, as was tbe case in Lin coln's first coarlict. East high had two other scoring opportunities during the game which the other failed to capit alize u pon or we re stopped by the Links line and backfield . The first came during the second p eriod and t h e half e nded with the Raiders deep in Lincoln territor y. The second came. dur ing the last quarter, when the Links displayed a magnificent goal line stand, finally r ecovering a fumble on t he one yard line and k icking out of danger as the game ended. Both teams came up against a rival offensiv e that n either was quite pr epared for. Lincoln of course, used its fam ed T-format ion almost exclusively against a team that was notoriously weak d efensively against it, while t he
Raiders sprang a single wing against the Links line the greater part of the time. The team, as a unit, performed splendidly against a strong force, while, individuals, Egger, Boettcher and Hergert, rose slightly above the rest.

Schools Hold Lead In East High school gridders from the eastern section of the state seem to have the inside track on the rest of the state prepsters. The grid Powerhouses in the east end of the state at present are two of last y ears' co-champions, the Lincoln Links and .Creighton Prep Blue Jays. The other co- champions, Northeast, hasn't shown much power to date but is improving, as was shown in its last encounters. .In Omaha, South high Packer s h ave come up with a threat to the Class A titleists, but have a lready bowed to Cr eighton Prep. Lincoln has also been b eaten by t he Kear ney Bearcats in its opener in the state, in a close game pl ayed in the r a in. K earney is a veteran manned eleven and is headed for the greate~t season in the Bearcats' history and possibly a state title. Grand Island and Hastings have fallen b elow last fall's elevens and therefore are not generally consiciered t itle threats~ The re:st of the state h as produced a surpr ise power in Fairbury, who whitewashed H astings with ease in the sout heast . In t he west, Scottsbluff h as an i.nexperienced team, which has some fine possibilities of being a winner. Alliance is also rated n ear t he t op and is greatly improved over last fall's eleven.
Staff Sgt. Borgens Is Killed in Action Staff Sgt. Harold E. Borgens, '33, broth er ·of Doroth y '46, was rep orted killed in action. Harold was a member of the chemistry club in L.H.S. He graduated i n the arts a nd science curriculum.

Lincoln games have passed, has acquired a state wide reputation because of the
deceptiveness and speed that her backfield and line men have shown up to date. In days past, the emphasis on size and weight has been the deciding factor in t he won and lost columns of Nebraska football. This year, which proves the exception, the emphasis seems to be on speed, for the old axiom ''If you can't catch 'em you can't tackle 'em" still proves true. Axioms were made to be followed, and the Links h ave stuck faithfully to this one throughout the present season, for it suits them to a T, the T-formation . The. T-formation has for years been known as a .Lincoln brainstorm, and nciw, as never before, the Red and Black have the ideal backfield to. run it. Speed, decepUveness a nd the ability to drive hard and use what God gave you to think with, are the requisites of a backfield operating off the "T." Quarterback and general strategist of Lincoln's backfield circus is Gene Kelly, veteran 155p ounder w ho handles the ball on a direct pass back from the center. Kelly, who is playing his

Lincoln · T-formation h opes hit a mag when it was found.that Kelly, shifting over from a previous year at fullback, was n ot an efficient p asser. This snag has always been one of the previous reasons why coaches get gray anc chew off fingernails t o their wrists, but it was solved in in short order by Rlph Beechner and Lyle Weyand by moving halfback Alex Fink over to the pivot post when a flip off the "T" was caused. Alex, on e of the "old men" of the team, is. rounding out h is third year of football w ith Lincoln high. When he checked out his equipment F ink asked for and r eceived, number 25 jersey, Herman Rohrig's old number.

Two of Lincoln's starting backs have been taken care of; only Bud
Gerlach, left half, a nd Al Hoffman, full- back are left. They are last, in this summary, but not least, for they are both. star p erformers in the Lincoln backfield. Hoffman, one of the few lettermen sla ted to return next year, w eighs but 148 pounds, one of the smallest men on t he team. But what he lacks in size a nd w eight he makes up for in grim tenacity, fighting spirit, and the. ability to explode in the faces of an op ponent forward wall a nd drive through for needed yardage. Another of t he fine p unters of the Links squad, he also ranks high among leading Red and Black ground gainers. The only m ember of the starting backfield not having previous exper ience wit h Varsity play is Bud Gerlach, 152 pound, h ard d riving l eft half, who adv anced from last year's reserve squad. Bud, a good man under tension, came through with a 65 yard run in the Sioux · City East game, thus saving t he day for the Lincoln squadmen. Gerlach is also one of the best pass- flippers on the Varsit y squad.

Service Teams Members of Band Perfecting Lines Trying to smooth out r ough places in the lines keeps the band hard at work. Th e new members are a little bewildered with such commands as "countermarch," "left or right turn," "sound off," "rank number and file number ," "telescope entrance" ringing in t heir ears. "Band, two, t hree, four. Halt one, two." The theory of that command is that everyone stops, t ogether. But for the first week t he lines stop in formation which the drill masters h adn't thought of. Just as they w ere getting used to the unison chanted commands, the drum majorette, Hazel Johnson, and her whistle took over. Bernard Nevin, direct or, however, isn't discour aged, yet. He would mak e a good drill sergeant, the. members agree, w iggling their a ching feet after a br isk one-ha lf to three-quar ters of an hour of street marching. The pre-school age children seem to enj oy t he music and run along beside t he m archers. The band's recently cleaned uniforms were seen by the student b ody for t he first time at t he St. Joe game.

Double Assembly Sees Pictures Two films through the courtesy of the American Red Cross were shown at a double assembly, Thursday, October 5. The two pictures were "No Greater Glory" and "Since Pearl Harbor." The picture "No Greater Glory" was what a nurse's life is like and the important role that nurses have been playing on the home front as well as the fighting front since the war began. "Since Pearl Harbor," was a picture showing what the different branches of the Re<l Cross have been doing in aiding the war effort. Both films showed clearly what both the nurses and the Red Cross have done in trying to save the lives of our men who have been wounded in battle.
in L.H.S. cafeteria now have a menu for concentration. The foods are listed here for their convenience. This should help the pupils in deciding what they will choose for their lunch. When getting in line for purchasing lunch, a pupil may now glance at the menu on the west wall and hav e in mind what he would like to buy. This idea should save time in buying lunch, therefore providing adequate time for consuming it and returning to class.
Cards Wanted For Overseas Classes Contribute To Red Cross for Service Packages Christmas decorations and greeting cards, greatly needed this year to be sent to the boys overseas who are confined to hospitals, have been prepared by art c.:1as::,'€:B.
The :'\..t...:~ric ~ n .J1.1ni 0 r ~~n <:rn.~~
was asked to accept a minimum of 400 units of Christmas decorations, making a total' of around 600,000 articles. The articles asked for were ice cream decorations, tray favors, greeting cards with envelopes, menu cards, table centerpieces, bulletin board items and booklets. Schools all over Lincoln were asked to participate in this work. From Miss Helen Wilsons' fourth period art class, Edward Becker, senior has designed and printed fifty Christmas cards with envelopes. His design was a winter snow scene, printed on green and blue paper with black ink. The girls home economics class fifth period helped Ed out by cutting .and pasting the envelopes. Ed plans to print some of these greeting .cards for himself to send to his friends this Christmas. Pupils that contributed a block print or stencil card in Miss Gladys Danas' art class were: Robert Askey, Denise Cave, Ruth Elevier, Vincent Guinta, Mary Kirby, Margaret K irsch, Jo Ann Leaming, Mildred Quick, Marilyn Spalding, Joyce Steele and Le Roy Walters. These pupils altogether sent fifty cards and envelopes to t he boys' overseas. These cards are sent to the boys so that they may mail them to their families and friends, with whatever written notes or messages they wish to put on the backs or inside the greeting cards.
From the Hi-Point by Ted Sorensen. Much newspaper and magazine space all over the nation has been devoted to Nebraska's Democratic candidate for Governor, George W. Olson. Nominated by vil:tue of his S candinavian surname, a political tradition in Nebraska, Candidate Olson is busboy at the Fort Crook Bomber plant in Omaha. Nebraskans' faith in Scandinavians finally hit the jack-pot for Mr. Olson, a candidate many times previously for various offices. Olson with his bus-boy abilities, (he waited on reporters who came to interview him after his nomination) considers himself a top man in the line of mathematics. He has a formula, he says, for squaring the circle, something nev"'r before done, and his greatest regret is that mathematicians will. not .listen to him. Letters inquiring about his formula are answered; those dealing with politics a re not.
of View
Olson is very confident of election against incumbent Dwight Griswold, and does riot believe a campaign is necessary. He warns other Democrats that if they start slinging mud, only he and Roosevelt will carry the state. Latest Gallup Poll figures give Dewey 66 percent of the Nebraska vote. After Olson had refused to travel to Grand Island for the Democratic state convention, it was moved to Omaha. Candidate Olson finally appeared in his shirt sleeves wearing his war plant badge. He recently stated that he was glad he was not required to talk on the nation-wide democratic radio rally. However he said he had written a speech, and sent it to President Roosevelt. He . thought perhaps the President would use some of it. . The antics of George W., Olson, futile in republican Nebraska, are enjoyed by all, regardless of party affiliation.

Rainy Weather Brings Anything But Flowers Drip! Drip! Splash! Splash! comes the gloomy sound to the ears of all, for it has been rainy weather for Lincoln. Rubbers, rubber boots, raincoats and handkerchiefs are the fashionable school wraps for many a day. Scuffling into school drenched with water were many a L.H.S. student. "Will it ever stop?" "Let's run for it." "Oh! I forgot my raincoat," are the moans and groans heard and said by all. One could say, "April Showers bring May flowers," but it's not April and it won't be May for a long while. Last week's was just unidentified weather.

Thus the Chest makes a great saving in the time and energy of the busy people who do the job. All campaign workers are unpaid volunteers. Twenty-third Campaign. This is Lincoln's twenty-third Chest campaign. In the past 17 consecutive d rives, the local Chest has successfully reached its goal, a record equalled by very few cities of any size. "There is no more worth-while cause in which a citizen of Lincoln can participate," stated Mr. Whitten. The campaign continues through October 19, unless t he goal is reached sooner. Ellsworth Du Teau, on the board working for the community chest in Lincoln, spoke to the teachers of Lincoln high Thursday October 5th on the needs of the community chest. He told of places other t han local where money for this work goes, they being the "Barbed Wire Legions/' those boys who .are in prison camps behind barbed wire; U.S.O.; U.S.S. men who bring the convoys through, milk for undernourished children of our Allies; and the National War Fund. "America and the democracies want nothing out of war except to preserve the realities of freedom,'' stated Mr. Du Teau. He concluded that they want the right for every boy and girl to be their own architects of their future. At the close of the meeting Miss Esther Lefler, head of Community Chest Solicitation collected the contributions made by the teachers.

Economical Seniors Have No Class Dues That the economical seniors were the only students n ot to collect class dues last week caused amazement to junior and sophomore classes who deposited the usual ten cents each with their home room representative. A total sum of $127 .80 was collected, with the juniors raising $61.40 and the sophomores $66.40. The senior class has sufficient funds to meet the year's expenses which include parties, elections and class picnics .which can account for the lack of a collection.

Three-Act Play About Orphan From Europe "Tomorrow the World," a pla1 in three acts; written by James Gow and Arnaud d'Usseau, will be presented by members of the Mummers November 3-4 in t he Lincoln high school auditorium. The play was first presented by Theron Bamberger at t he Ethel Barrymore Theater on Broadway in 1943. It was produced in Omaha last year and was highly praised. It was judged one of the ten best plays in 1942-1943 by B urns Mantle. "Tomorrow t he Worl d" is a story ·about a young boy who came as an orphan from Ger• many to America. It tells how some Americans tried t o teach him American ideals and customs and sets forth some of the prob~ lems of re-educating Nazi youth after the war. The cast will be announced later. Bernard Nevin is in charge of the music. Th e play is under the direction of Miss Irene Mar• tin, w ith Miss Annetta Sprung a nd Mrs. Irma Coombs as club sponsors. Posters are being made ~ the art classes.
Boxes Sent Overseas Hygiene Classes Are Packing Christmas Boxes For Nurses Christmas boxes for the nurses over seas are being prepared by th e pupils in Miss Ethel Murray's hygiene classes. Boxes will be sent to 90 n urses from this dis• trict. These boxes will go to Eng• li.1.ud, France iind a nywl1e1·i;; e lse
n urses from this area may be stationed. Miss Murray's second and third period hygiene classes packed these boxes and several girls in the fifth period class w ished to bring some small gift to put in a box as they knew no one in service overseas. Miss Est her Lefler's first and second period typing classes have been typing the lab els to put on the outside of these boxes. The contents of these boxes include: a bar of soap, playing cards, candy, lipstick, bobby pins, emery boards, foot powder, comb, pencil s, address book, soap tis• sues, V-mail writing paper, read• ing material, shoe laces, tooth• brush, tooth powder and for t h e nurses who have graduated from Lincoln high, an issu e of the Ad• vacate. A small toy may be in• elu ded in the box that the nurses can give to some child. T hese b oxes are furnished with funds from the Red Cross, the World War I Nurses and the Recruitment Committee, of w hich Miss Murray is a member. This project was well received . in the classes. Some relatives in the service were so enthusiastia over the i dea, that they asked for names of nurses that they could write to.

New Type Reports Include Three Forms for Parents "Sign 'em and bring 'em back" is a good motto for the new reports the teachers will be using for the first time at the end of this six weeks. The committee who drew up the new grade slips studied those used . during_ 1~42 through 1944, not only in the Lmcoln JUmor and senior high schools but also those used in at least 50 leading school systems of the United States. Three report forms were decided upon: . . In the first no grades are given, unless requested, until the end of the semester. This report is based more on suggestions of improvement t h a n marks. The second report's main purpose is not to compare one pupil's achievement with those of others taking the same subject. A semester mark is given, but the emphasis is placed on the progre~s mark given at the end of each six weeks. Included in the third report is a check list of items concerning work habits and citizenship and places for informing parents of their children's good and bad points. Teachers may make comments to further explain items checked. If you're ashamed to have your par~nts sign them this six weeks, work a little harder and watch your citizenship in your classes. In this way you'll not be ashamed of your r eports and also your parents will be more likely to sign happily,
Can We Run The Future World? Let Vs Think!!! Amid the routine of our various studies and extra curricular activities we high school students are apt to take little t ime to give careful consideration to local, national and international issues of the present and of the future. Too often high school students t end to g et on the bandwagon. If they take a st and on important issues at all, it is usually the stand t aken by the most popular or influential people they come in contact with. Yet it is their duty as well as their privilege to reason things· out fo r themselves and make intelligent decisions about current and future issues. We are the generation of tomorrow and we will make the history for the world of . tomorrow. It must be a better history than that which has been made in the last few years. The present crisis was upon us before we. were old enough to have enough power of thought or influence to do anything about it, but to straighten it out and keep it that wa y is our responsibility. Many· people, high school students and adults alike, never st op to give a law careful consideration unt il after it goes into effect. Then t hey are easily able to see whether it is exerting a good or bad influence. They forget that our government is by t he people and that they could have looked into the law and brought about its rejection if t hey felt it wouldn't be for the public good. · The younger generation must be leaders, not followers. Ma ny of the present high school seniors will be voters after one more national election. With t he task of picking leaders a nd laws that will make our country peaceful and prosperous before them, is it any too soon for them to give considerable thought and t ake active stands on current issues ?
Don't Be So Provincial; Welcome The Newcomer How hard it is t o get acquainted here is the comment Advocate r eporters receive from new pupils. It has been proved by 9ther large schools that students and teachers ca n help get new students acquainted with school activities a nd different groups according t o these newcomers. In Salt Lake City, each school has certain pupils from extra classes to show new students around, int roduce them to different ones and t heir teachers, and just do everything to make t hem feel as though they are wanted. Even in Washington, D. C., where schools are t erribly crowded, there is a syst em devised to help the new pupils. When a new girl or boy comm:: into Lincoln high, he is likely t o be lost in the crowd and forgotten. This is making n ewcomers feel as though t hey aren't wanted.

One by one the feminine members of Lincoln high seem to lean toward Northeast companionships more and more ... now it's Betty Schleining finding Abe Carlson, student manager of the Northeast football squad, very interesting these days. Nails are getting shorter, eyes are getting larger blue circles, and favorite radio programs are being missed, the reason, is . . • grade slips are coming out. Gosh, six weeks already. Excuses are already being thought up for failing marks, such as-"But Mom, I did study, it just doesn't stay in my mind," or "Ah-that teacher doesn't like me." Oh well, maybe next time you'll study.

Saurine Lotman's faith in Santa Claus has been restored and not because of an early mailing date for overseas packages. If you tell her she has been gaining a little weight, she will probably tell you this story. It seems that Saurine expressed delight when a classmate gave h~r a candy bar, so her friend played the "good fairy." The very much astounded Saurine found a large box of Russian Mints on her desk last Tues- day, that will surely appease her hunger. Now that we all know, Saurine, you can take that box out of hiding.

Who ever was so wise to say of school ; "But my it is just like a swimming pool." "You start with ample vim and vigor too, But just about midway, fall short you do." It's never quite explained, this loss of vim, "But oh," you wonder, "will I sink or swim?"

Grades-Worried?? Gleams in pupils eyes and smiles on their faces have faded with the passing of the excitement of school starting again. The sixth week of school has once again rolled around. Smiles have turned to frowns and -the evening movies have been given up for study on examinations. Ev eryone has a more serious look in his eyes, wondering what he will get in English or his rating in citizenship. The new report cards are still puzzling · several pupils. Come fo think of it, it might even be an excuse if you get one of those patriotic ones. You know, the kind w ith the flags on it. Busy heads are buzzing with excuses, buts, becauses, and whys. Always in the end it comes out the same. No "movies," no "dates," just plain no nothing. "Gee whiz Dad" or " But Mother" are to no avail. May . be y ou think you just can't win. Here's a sol ution for some. Study!

Talli Given Girl Reserves On Rooms ~frs.
Spaulding Informs Club With the h umorous article, "You too can have a room that is different," Mrs. Freda Spa ulding, instructor on interior decora ting in the art department a t the University, began her talk on "A girl and her room." Mrs. Spaulding, speaking to the Girl Reserves for their second meeting this year October 2, said, "Good judgment and common sense can go a long way in planning a room." There are certain sound principles that a person can use, the firs t one being, to think of the purpose of the room. Another is to think of convenience when planning a room and sta1'i with the background area first, the ceiling, walls and floor. "The way colors go together are very important," stated Mrs. Spaulding, speaking about the selection of colors. "One way to choose paper and draperies is by the texture of the material." "It is very practical to have ·scattered rugs," she continued. This way floors and rugs are kept clean easily. "One of the fundamental things. to think about is, can the room be kept clean easily?

The printing m ach ines are going "full b last" nearly every minute of every hour of the day undcJ the supervision of J. S. Wallace. Mr. Wallace says that the help situation is his greatest problem at the present t ime. The boys h e has now h ave had little, or no experience at all . Work in a print show calls for experience, therefore each boy must know something about the machine with which he works. Unless he does, he may come u p minus fingers or possibly a hand. All of the 12B and 12A boys who are experienced have taken over outside j obs in department stores or some kind of war work. Although the fellows do their best, inexperience makes the work go slower, and more difficult to get out. Mr. Wallace, and his classes of hard wor king b oys, do e very nnd a ll kinds of printing work. First, every job must be estimated to see how much paper it will take. They must also determine the

Scare Lincoln Fink Scores On Brilliant 49-Yard Dash To Goal Scoring twice in the first half and adding another touchdown in the second, the Links drove to def eat a fighting Scottsbluff agg r egation 18-6, in a ha r d won but d ecisive game under the mazdas' Friday night in the ov al. Biggest little foe of the capitolcity gridders seen for some time w as soph om or e h alfback Gayle F er g uson, · r esponsible for t h e Bea r cats' lone t a lly and because of a lot of gray hair among Lincoln fans and player s alike. It w as Fer guson, after sparking an aerial driv e ear ly in t he third s tanza down to t he Lincoln high 40-yard strip e, \vho pitched the b all to right half, L or en Ellis, s t reaking into the end zone on ;i t r icky thr..ee-man spread format ion p lay to the left of th~ Red and Black lin e to scor e. The Bearcat kick for the extra point failed, and the Red and White gridders h ad their first, a nd last scor e of tl1 e gam e. F irst t ally of the Lincoln eleven c ame early in the game w it h Bon ey Hoffman tucking in a late ral pass from quarterback Gene K elly and racing 20 yards around his own r ight end to .punch over the score. Fink' s pass to end Bud L ee was incomplete and the capit ol citian led the game by a 6 - 0 m argin. The Lincoln scoring d r ive was set u p by a Scottsbluff p unt t o Hoffman, waiting in m id field and lugging the ba ll d own to the w esterner 's 40 yard line. F rom t h ere the Lincoln f ullback sparked the drive into scoring posiiion by slicing off gains of four, s ix a nd t\velve yards. The Red and Black gridders p ulled another touchdow n out of their h ats dur ing the last m inute of t h e second quarter when Bob Hubbel took a b teral out to the side from Fink and flied a pass t o r igh t end Bud L ee in t he endzone. F ink's p ass t o Hubbel, man in m otion to the right was complete, but the watchful 'cat boundary cam e up fast to prevent him from making the con versio n. Scottsb luff, its line play stymied by a fast, hard charging Red a nd Black line, took to the air lanes in t h e second quarter. With a ll his b ulls- eye accuracy, F·er guson, spearheading the offensive, was u nable to halt Gene Kelley's int er ception on his own 46, from \vh er e the Link s , unable to pene t rat e the Bearcat line was forced to point.

High point of an evening of spectacular plays was Gayle F erguson's one man aerial offensi ve. H is deadly sharp sh ooting t hrew a scar e into the Links on more than one occasion.

Outstanding Play To Be Presented By Mummers
Preparation Is Vital for Army Life Talk Is Given On Air Forces Captain John R. Rackley and Lieutenant I. J. Brown, of the Seventh service command, spoke to the boys of Lincoln high school Monday, October 16. Captain Rackley talked on how boys of 16 and 17 years of age should prepare themselves for military .training, while Lieutenant Brown spoke to boys of 17 years of age, on enlistment into the Army Air Forces. Captain Rackley in his addr ess stated, "There is ev ery possibility that all boys 16 or 17 years of age will be called for a physical examination." He went on to say that the army has its full quota of men now, but that there are needed 100,000 men a month as replacements for those who have served a great length of time and for those wounded. He said approximately 75 to 80 per cent of these replacements will be filled by young men of 18. "Ther e are four basic necessary elements for those entering the armed f orces. These are academic, or ientation, vocational, and physical training," Captain Rackley stated. Understanding of Military .L ife. F or academic subjects, t his m eans good use of the English language, both w ritten and oral, and a good understanding of simple m athmetics.

Vocation al is to know in w h:it one is exceptionallv good at so t hat he can be p laced in the pr oper branch w her e h e can be of the m ost service. Physical is to be in good condition so as t o be able to take t he tough a nd strenuous ways of army life. Another point Captain Rackley stressed was self discipline.

I n June of 1943 it had 72 pro• d uctions on Broadway and in June of 1944 it was still running.

The uncle is a chemistry pr ofessor in a small Midwest town. The boy's fat her was an anti- Nazi execut ed by th e Germans. He finds America ready to r eceive him, but the play shows the audience what happens to a boy indoctrinated by .the Nazi phil• osophy and the problem of mak~ ing an American of h im.

He even loses the friendship of Frieda, the maid, when she changes from wanting to put flowers in his room to con• sidering p utting poison into his bir thday cake.

FACULTY BOARD
Is it too much too soon that has been an aid to juvenile delinquency? War time offers a great amount of money for the younger generation. This summer .more than five million boys and girls, 14 through 17 years, were working full or part time. Every pay day their hands reached out for their new pay envelopes. What was done with this money? A recent poll in a Pennsylvania high school showed that nearly haif of all working pupils kept their money for themselves with no obligations to any other person. A similar poll in a Kentucky high school showed that student workers saved only 10 percent of their earnings. IS this money to be used to contribute to juvenile delinquency, as has been the name attached to riotous doings of teen-age boys and girls? Must they "do the town" or save it for fur ther education, or save it to make a secure place for themselves in peace time ? The latter is the wiser, but how many high school boys and girls have b een guided how 1n ~peD<l lh]r m0N'V rroperly? The young ~-~ 0:.i.: ! : ·:;:·· -.._:r. r:"2.~~

Composition on the typewriter is a skill to be cultivated. When Mrs. Frances Regier assigned her first period typing class to compose a theme on "anything," the following by Jim Hammond was among those received. Being such an ordinary word, "anything" is rather hard to write about. It is an eightletter word, composed of the two words, any and thin~. It is a close relative of the word "nothing," but has a very different mea ning. For instance, if there were an opening large enough for anything to get through, nothing couldn't get through, for if nothing could get through, anything could not get through. Also, if a place is locked so nothing can get in, anything could not get in. Therefore these two words have a rather hard time getting together. Although these words are different in many ways, I find that they are similar in some ways. In attempting to write about "anything," I seem to have to have written more about its relative, nothing. Speaking of "nothing, " it should be noted that this word stands for something that does not exist. Even the most destitute person, who does not think he has anything, fir..ds th~t he actually has something, which ,:~:-. ·1i...i ~ ~ 1i ~1;::; )J \ ·c11i 111.'n 't h f;Ji..-i:,_.·e thi:.::. look

be directed in proper utilization of their earnings was outlined in the National Vocational Guidance Association Inc. mag~ azine. According to this magazine class room discussion is one of the most effective m eans of increasing knowledge of war finance, the meaning of inflation, the fight against inflation, war saving investments, the payroll allotment plan, and personal r esponsibility to share in the national saving program. Personal Budgeting Projects will provide first hand experience in h ow to save, how to plan, and how to figure out one's own plan for saving. L essons in how to buy and handle war bonds will help those workers who must set up their own "payroll plan" in plants where that employee service is not available. The individu~.l conference gives added significance to group discussions and projects. This personal approach should help the young worker integrate his savings plan with his plans for prosecuting his education and vocational career. Careful follow-up in the fulfilm ent of budgeting plans will help young wage earners stick to their chosen plan of "savings. Knowing that someone cares may have a good psychological effect. Publicizing the per cent of savings along with total wages of a group cif studentworkers may encourage others to exceed their savings goals. At least it will show them that saving is just as noteworthy a n achievem ent as earning.
Lincoln City School Rooters Show Good Sportsmanship Teen-age spectators at the LincolnNortheast football game Friday night proved to the city that they could be friendly rivals. During the contest, there was much excitement as the game was close and y et there wa s no b ooing or cat-calls as per u sual during a n intra-city game. Ma ny per sons came to the game not only to see one of the best games in t he state, but to observe the attitude of the pupils of the competin g schools. As usual ther e wa s a tenseness during the game that exists only a t a gam e deciding the city-championship. More than 7,500 people viewed the game and many had to stand for the length of the entire contest. Why?? Because this was the game of the year as far as Lincoln inhabitants alone were concerned. They wanted to see a good game. This t ime, we did not disappoint them. W e proved to them, that in Lincoln, the pupils of the two high sch ools can Jive in a Democracy and abide by t he laws of a Democracy.

"Love Conquers All" had of discussion during the student the cast of Phyllis Cone, Princess Marguerite; Mary Alice Dosck, council meeting of Wednesday, King Louis; June Fislar, Sir October 11. A few of the thi n.gs that the
student body as a whole could do, would be to see that the napkins and papers were removed from the trays before returning them to the window, and making sure that all waste food is disposed of in the containers provided. A more tidy and inviting place will thus be • prepared for the next pupil to enjoy his lunch. Plans for a clean-up camj:Jai~n are being made, and it js believed that with the cooperation of the student body, a great improvement will result. Another topic under discussion was safety and concerned the traffic near scilool in the mornings. There often seems to be quite a "jam" at the southwest corner of the building, where cars stop to unload at the wrong place and thu s tie up all cars. back of them. To remedy t his, the safety committee asks that the cars be unloaded after turning either right or left.

In conclusion, Dorothy Speer, Ruth Speer, Alice Jo Smith and Mary L ou Thompson presented a sketch entitled, "Perils of Clara Belle Lee."
Lured by the thoughts of higher education, or possibly a mouse or t wo, a solemn cat walked majestically into the chemistry laboratory fourth period, Tuesday, October 10, and remained through fifth period. He rubbed against the legs of several would-be chemists, startling them no little. Toward the end of the period, the pupils were amused to see Miss Mamie Short retrieve the cat and carry him into her office, informing him it was nice and warm and. sunny in there.

"Window decorating is not just putting merchandise in the w indow. You haYe to know \Vhat h as appeal and watch all the time for new ways of displaying," stated Miss Mary Lou Drake, '39, window decorator from Magee's, in a talk during art club meeting, Monday, October 9. After graduating from Lincoln high school, where she was a member of art club, Miss Drake started working in the display department at Magees. She was then to Chicago for furth er training. There she attended the open h ouse of many firms who manufacture display material. Manufacture of paper mache figures, silk screening process, which is used . in making background panels, the designing rooms; and many other interesting phases of production were described by Miss Drake. She said that the decorators work on a definite schedule and have all merchandise ready beforehand. "There's a lot of dirty work to the job too," she continued. "You have to take all the old merchandise out, wash the inside of the windows, and clean the fixtures. "Window displays are changed once a week," Miss Drake said. "We sometimes use the same fixtures over, but never the same display. We often sell the fixtures to smaller stores." Miss Drake concluded by saying that while agents u sed to make four trips a year to the stores with samples of display material, the stores must now order from a catalog or make a special trip to Chicago.
At the P eppers meeting, Friday, October 13, Joe Philbrick, one of the cheerleaders who attended the Northeast pep assembly, commented on the response of the Northeast student body and Phyllis Harris backed him . up by saying that Lincoln high should show up Northeast at the game. :\Tiss ·Winifred Mayhew and Mrs. Ruth Dodge sponsors, told the Pepper~ that the assembly sketch has been favor-

The mythical city grid cham-
· pionship was once more annexed by Lincoln high school Friday night at the expense of an outplayed Black and White aggregation from Northeast.
Scoring for Lincoln:
Red and Black gridders, held scoreless by a fighting Northeast team for the greater part of the game, were finally able to punch across the deciding tally early in the fourth period with sub-quarterback, Bruce Berquist, running wide around his own right end to score from the six-yard stripe. This touchdown was the climax of a period of hard, solid line play, started ten yards inside Northeast territory when the Links, capitalizing on a 15 yard roughing penalty against the Rockets, advanced from their own 45. It was Hubbel and Fink who fired the Links for three successive plays of 5, 14, and 10 yards down to the Northeast 12yard stripe, where the Black and White's again drew a roughing penalty, placing the b ail on the six, from which Berquist added the oly points of the game. Spec Klein, called in to attempt the c onversion, failed to place the ball between the upright s and Lincoln forged a head in a hard fought game, 6-0.; Play during the first, second and third quarters of the game was, for the most part, . highly indecisive as far as scoring went. The Red arid Black gridders threatened three times to score on Bun Galloway's Rockets, twice by passes and once again, when Lincoln lost the ball on the by stripe, Northeast 7- yard ground attack. The most spect acular play of the ga me was a thirty-five yard a erial from halfback Alex Fink to the Northeast 4-yard str ipe where right end, Bud Lee, menaced by a trio of Black and White b a aks, made a diving catch of the sphere as the half ended. Remarkable punting by Alex Fink an d Jim Bowmaster of Northeast was the rule rather than the exception, an average of 41.5 yards per kick being racked up between the two schools. G a me statistics were Lincoln high all the way, the Rockets having gained but 57 yards while the Links r acked up 192. Both teams w ere out for blood, play was rough and penalties frequent. Probably . the most outstanding men for the Red and Black's were guards Egger a nd Boettcher, Archie Kirkendall, end and half-

Sons of the Red and Black By Ga.le Morrell. When old man footb all reared his head in Nebraska prep circles, the high school dopesters, taki!lg an enrly look at the aver age weights and experience of the Lincoln high school line, handed an almost unanimous t humbs down decisio n to the Red a nd Bla ck gridders. A .forward wall that averaged only 165 pouncls per m an and w ith only three men with experience, just could not b e made into an efficient tearn on both offensive and defensive play , it was said. A good line " couldn' t happen here," but it did. The t w o h eavy weights of this inexper ienced line supposedly were Tom Zichek and Dick Pederit. Tom1 one of the few returning lettermen that held starting positions on last year's squad, tips the scales at l 80, is powerful and fast in either oCfensi 'IC or defen sive action and is out to prove h imself one of the s wiftest lineme n in the state, havirig ·Ncn track h onors in the 440 and 880 y:ud dashes last year.

It looked like a gargantu an job, but was easily accomplis hed by moving Zichek Jrom right guard . to right tack.i e, t.hus solving th.e problem . M cving up from last yea r 's second squad is Dick Pederit, 185 pound left tackle a nd, from the reserve team, John Heckman. Both boys hav e seen a good deal of action on the gridiron this y ear and Dick, one of the better kickers in the state, h as a kick-off aver<ige of 75 yards w hile Heck man, seeing his first action this year, has prov ed to be a n aggr essive and hard hitting m a n both offensively and defensively . 01 th e two, only Heckman is returning next year. A bright fu ture is expected of him. Able second to Tom Zichek is Bill Rolfsm eyer, a big pounder who turned in an exception«Il:y good game in the Sioux City frz.c Pf. on Scpte1n~cr 20.

hex on Northeast in a manner which would have made Shakes~ pears turn over in his grave, the Peppers gave a -short sketch before cheering students, followed by short talks by Gladys Jackson, hea d of the Northeast student council, and Jack Brown, home room representatives president, who gave their thoughts on tn:e sportsmans~ip b etween the two schools. Both expressed their hopes that the fine s pirit showed at last year's state tournament could continue receiving the full approval of students in F riday's rally assemblies. After the opening song H. C. Mardis, principal, gave a few details on the game and introduced Gladys .Jackson, the president of the student council at Northeast high. Miss J ackson -stated that Northeast appreciated the way in which Lincoln high students b acked Northeast in their game with Omaha South high. at the state basketball t ournament last year and hoped that this friendly rivalry between the two schools would continue. L ou Lamb and Betty Grice, Northeast cheerleaders were introduced and h el ped with the lea ding of the cheer "L with an I." After a song and y ell was {(iven, Coach Ralph · Beechner gave a short talk. Mr . Beechn er said "We can give Northeast an E for effort for three years now." H e w ent on to say that the team was ready to meet Northeast. J ack Brown, president of H. R. r epresentatives, was the next to speak . Next came the skit which the P e ppers had especially prepared for the assembly. The skit opened with three witches standing around a kettle planning the def eat of t he Northeast Rockets. As Northeast strides by where the witches are st anding she is neatly swept off by one of the witches w ith a broom. Immediately aft.P.r this eleven P eppers dressed in the Lincol n high football uniforms w ith the n ame of the player they are supposed to represent come running dow n the aisle of the auditorium, on to the stage and into a huddle. They come out of the huddle and the gir l representing Northeast gets the ball, and is immediately t hrown for a loss. The play is concluded with the girls representing the Lincoln t eam and the three witches singing "The Links Swing In, the Rockets Swing Out." The assembly was concluded with t h e singing of "Sons of the Black and Red."
Packers Paced By Oversized Line, Backfield
Sparked by Lincoln's last two home games, the Red and Black eleven have high hopes and de• termination to win the season's remaining four games. Against a heavy Omaha South team Friday night, will be the first game of the season with an Omaha school. In the past three or four years, the Omaha South game has been the decisive one of the season, The South team, under the direction of a smart and capable coach, Cornie Collins, is perhaps not so strong at present as in the previous three years. During this past period, the Packers were victorious over the Links last year, were tied once, and were defeated once. In the Omaha city league, South has had a tough time of it, taking a beating from a high standing Creighton Prep team and a recent loss to Omaha Central's veterans. Line Is Heavy The Packers' heavy line is paced by two big tackles, both weighing around 200 pounds. These strapping lads are Striple and J ones, who have seen plenty of action this year. Another boy to watch out for is their big triplethreat halfback ace, Congo Collins, the only South player who saw action against Lincoln last fall. The game will mark the twelfth meeting of the two schools of which Lincoln h as won eight, South one, and two games were deadlocked. T he Links have scored 20il points to 46 points by South. The largest margin of victory was Lincoln;s 78 to 6 trouncing 0·f South way back in 1922. The past records of Link-Packer struggles: Pa~t Links- PRcker His tory. Links Packers!

Council Signs Pledge for Halloween
Wednesday, October 25. Lincoln vs. Omaha Tech 7:45 G. A. A.
New Positions Are Assigned Before Hallowe'en every year, the student council makes a pledge which it asks all pupils to endorse. This year especially, every one in school is urged to do his best to abide by it. This pledge rea ds as follows: "We, the members of the student council, pledge ourselves to refrain from any Hallowe'en a.ctivity which destroys property, either public or private, or which endangers the safety of any person. We feel that causing unnecessary expenditure of money or labor, in these times, is unpatriotic. We also consider the act of asking for handouts as a public nuisance. We suggest small parties in private homes for the celebration of Hallowe'en. We are asking the rest of the students of Lincoln high school to unite with us in this stand."

H oiv We Could Revise America's School System All of you have no doubt suffered the indescribable agonies of a day at school many times, so we have no n eed to reiterate them for you. It is our purpose here to point out to everyone how some of these agonies could be allayed by a reform ~n. the American school system. (More specifically, the Lincoln school system.) . . In the first place, to our way of thmkmg, the necessity of spending a gr eat deal of time at home on school work could, and should be eliminated. For instance; home room periods could be cut short, st~dy periods made longer. Th.e am~unts of time wasted by unnecessary d1scu~s10n on a subject having noth~ng to do with the course, , unneeded recitat10n and lack of concen~ra tion on the part of the student, all eat mto the study period. We are here to learn, and it seems apparent to us that a seven or eight hour. day is perfectly adeguate for all the learning we have to do, without dragging the process out of the school house to that totally foreign and unagreeable environment for study, the home. Why mix the work period with th~ play period, and in many cases now3:days, mt.erfere with vital outside work by mterruptmg this time with studies which could well h~ve been compieteel in minutes. wasted durmg the school dav? Not only thIS, but the homi,: atmosphere unsuited for the con.centration n eeded to obtain the fu.n benef~t from study. The fami.ly r~dio blarmg, Jumor ai:id his friends r unnmg m and out, and the girl friend or boy friend, as the case may be, holding half hour conversations . with you at intervals throughout the evenmg; these things are hardly conduciv~ to. stu~y. The average Ame~can .boy ~r girl. is da.1ly co.nfronted with s1tuat10ns hke this. It is easily said that these interruptions could be o'."ercome, but not so easily done. The foregomg, of course, is only a sug gested r eform, an_d we doubt, as you probably also do, that it will ever be carried out. . ·We could always point out that w1~h 8:11 the wealth in the United States, which lS d evoted haphazardly to building roads, p~b lic improvement power dams, supportmg W. P. A. worker s, et c., the public school system is receiving , comparatively, a very small proportion of these funds. People do not seem to realize how important education is. All other government supported improvements would be .of little or no good if our younger generat10ns were not ed1:1-cated to carry on and go forward. Pubh c improvements a re made in the name ~f progress, yet there would be .no progress if the youth of our country did not have education. P erhaps if the world were full of liberally educated peoples there would be no more war,-who can say?

Mummers To· Present A Higher Royalty Play It has been the tradition of the Mummers
to produce a play which wi.ll stimulate serious thought on some subJect. The result has always been one which does credit to the ideals of the club, and there is every r eason to believe that "Tomorrow the World" will be one of the most celebrated attractions. One reason that the Mmnmer s are able to give such outstanding presentations is the fact that the y have the talent of the entire school to draw from. On November 3 and 4 the hard working and drama tica lly gifted student s who have been practicing for more than a month will attempt t o bring a little bit of Broadway to the Lincoln high s chool auditorium. This story is fictional, but it deals with Emil, the small German boy who has come into an American home but still clings to his Nazi beliefs. He could be a ny one of a 100,000 other little Nazi r eared boys with the sanie fanatical ideas. It presents definitely one of the post -war headaches for the United Nations if all these little Emils are not t aught differently. " Tomorrow the World" is a higher royalty play, t he kind which the Mummers have very seldom had the chance to present or h ave presented. This play ha s some ver y dramatic action and on the lighter side a gay romance in it s three acts and promises t o keep the audience on the edge of their s eats every moment. Come to the Mummers play and see how all these situations are dealt with!
In spring, a young man's fancy turns to the thought of love. In summer anyone's thoughts turn to a fancy vacation. In winter one's mind is on Christmas and the wonderful vacation it brings. A-h-h but fall. Fall is the time of year when everyone stops thinking and goes to school. Fall is a very restful season; first, (for some pupils) make very nice "dozers"; because most schools have desks, which and second, because it's a style and a custom to move very slowly in the fall. The only reason pupils even try to get to school on time is because it's too much work to get excused every day. Sometimes on Friday nights there are football games. That is why school isn't held on Saturday. Even though "dozers" are quite comfortable, beds are more comfortable. The most wonderful thing about fall is the weather. No matter how slow or lazy the people, the weather in the fall is always ambitious. Spring goes with love, summer with play, winter with cosiness, and fall with dreariness. In the spring, people sing about love. In the summer , they sing gay songs, such as "Sailing." In the winter they sing church hymns. In the fall nobody sings (except at football games.) It's all for the best though because they can't carry a tune anyway. All in all, fall is fall, and there couldn't be a winter without it. Or could there?

Dear Static Editor: When people get involved in triangles or have other problems to solve they always write to their favorite newspaper column for the solution, and as I am in a bad wreck t angle, I appeal to you to give me the right angle. Here's the proposition : I am in Geom. 1, and not so long ago my teacher gave us a list of words to look up. Luckily, I knew all the meanings so I didn't have to waste my time, even though she mispelled some words such as "arc" for "ark" and "pi" for "pie." She also got off into other subjects. For instance, in the test next day, she t old us to draw a figure wtih a cute ankle which I was able to do, having taken art last year. I r eally expected to get a good grade but in the space reserved for it, teacher drew a great big circle. I was puzzled and asked her if she wanted me to bisect it, whereupon she threw up her hands, rolled her eyes, and made stange noises in her throat. Not knowing how else to stop a fit, I rushed from t.he room and a m afraid to go back. I am studying home nursing and I will be glad when. I come tu the chapter on the "Care of Teachers. " Mine all seem so delicate and it is nothing to have them go into hysteriecs, turn prematurely gray, pop their eyes, or get a sickly green "gangrenous" they call it) whenever I recite. I always have to stop them, and they never r eally find out how . much I do know, which is the.cause of my poor grades. Even the principal's voice sounded a little shaky over sound this morning, and as I had seen my English teacher emerge from his · office a little earlier, I think she had been showing him some of my fine writeups which would n aturally daze him a lit· tie, not being used to having such a bright junior in his school. I am enclosing my test paper. Please read it and tell me your theorem as I ~till don't know what to do with that circle. Rig ht Angl e on Geometry Definitions.

The Class Room Clock Observes the Pupils I'll wager that . by the end of each school day, I know more about each pupils' activity than even his teacher does. You see, I'm the class room clock. Here I hang, with a birds' eye vie w watching pupils come and go. When they are not looking, I let my hands lag, for it is much more difficult to watch them with my hands in their correct position. l particularly like to watch the b oy who sits in the last row second period. I have become able now to tell what he did the night before by his reaction to questions directed at the whole group by the teacher.

Your easel, which is guaranteed to collapse into a compact bundle, and automatically does so at inopportune moments throughout the day, is set up, and you begin to paint. The weather is, by this time, somewhat reminiscent of .a sandstorm on the Gobi desert, which definitely contributes to the rich, textural effect of your picture, . ("My, how realistic the sand in that picture looks," they will say. It should-it is.) Or, if utter real· ism is what you a re striving for, it is easily achieved by dropping a wet oil painting, butter side down, in the mud. People will then rave about your brushwork and technique.

Reorganization of the · Forum. Table to make it just the Forum was the main problem brought up at its last meeting :Monday, Oct. 23. The two clubs co.mbined a few years ago. A resolution to the student affairs committee was made and a constitution· for the F'orum w as adopted by those present. The Forum also planned · for some interesting programs in the future. Also discussed at the meeting were ideas for increasing the interest in the club. All students are cordially invited to attend the Fcrum. Harold McNabb, president, was in charge of the meeting.
Since y our book covers have seen almost six weeks of wear, maybe yo u could adopt some of the " classy" ideas Tee- Jayettes of Thomas Jefferson high , Richmond, Virginia, have been using. The old cover "repapered" w it h pictures from magazines will not only be decorated gaily, but made more· sturdy for the strain of the next six weeks. Plain or colorful desig ned wrapping paper is an able substitute, as is wallpaper or mother's shelf paper. An invasion of a remnant drawer might result in cover s to match tha t n ew print blouse or last year's gabardine skirt. The Buzz Book of Quincy Senior high school, Quincy, Illinois, corr espond s somewhat to our · Red a nd Black h andbook. It is an annual b ook which contains the names, addresses a n d telephone numbers of all stu den ts and teacher s in the high school. In addition it lists the schedules of all councilors, the. names of the school custodians, names of the student council officers and the board of education, the school calendar and the bus schedule. An article on the Buzz Book in The Q Review, Quincy's school paper, stated that the lists of clubs and songs were left out this year. The book is edited by the office practice students.

Red and Black Strike Often For 20-0 Lead Driving through a veritable sea of mud, Lincoln high school gridders drove to a decisive twenty point victory over a fighting Omaha aggregation from South high. The Red and Black eleven, their speed hampered by the sticky field conditions, held their heavier opponents. s co r el es s throughout the game. Links Score in First Stanza. Lincoln's first tally came late in the first quarter, the climax of a sustained 64~yard scoring drive sparked by halfback Alex Fink and Bud Gerlack. Receiving the ball on their own 36 yard line, the Lincoln boys, with left half Fink doing the honors,. carried the ball down to the Packers' 27 yard stripe, from where Gerlack, taking over the sphere toting duties, drove down to the. one yard marker and a first and ten on two successive drives of 19 and 5 yards. Shrifting into short punt :formation the Links opened a )1ole through the center of the line for Fink, who drove through to rack up the initial score. The attempted placement kick was wide ·and the quarter ended with the Links in possession of. the ball game by a six point margin. Lee Spills Arnold . :for Safety. The Omaha aggregation, driven almost to its goal line by an exchange of punts, desperately attempted to carry the ball from the shadow of its goal posts, only to have right end Bud Lee, spilled Packer quarterback Elmer Arnold behind the double lines for a Lincoln safety. Thus the Omahans, driven back to their one yard stripe by Gene Kelly's alert defensive work, held the short end

Then, fading back after a short gain through the line, Bob Hubbel flipped a sharp ·pass to Archie Kirkendall on the Packer 20 yard line from where, with good blocking in front of him, he carried the ball the rest of the way to rack up Lincoln's third and last score of the game. The Links orice more failed to tally for the conversion, the score standing at a 20 point shut-out at the end of the game. The statistics department was also taken..by the Red and Black gridders, the Packers rolling up only 3 first downs and 75 yards to the Links 14- first and tens and 257 yards stepped off. Top performances of the Lincoln gridders was the unbeatable defensive play of the line and the hard driving offensive tactics of Halfbacks Fink and Gerlack. The much publicized Congo Collins and Fullback Leonard Mockelstrom were the big guns for the South high Packers. Box score: LINCOLN OMAHA LE KlrkendaiI , ....... .... .......

Links have proved that size and weight are not always synonmous with both defensive and offensive play by turning in winning records against the heavier teams. Ability to stop determined goalward drives has earned a reputation for being a brilliant defensive team.

perhaps most aggressive guards ever to wear Lincoln colors is Harold "Huck" Egger, a boy whose rugged, aggressive play has been ranked high ·at the top of high school guards. Although weighing only 152 pounds, Huck has succeeded in holding his own against far heavier opponents by his speed and hard hitting pla y. Top game of this year played by Huck was the Sioux City East contest , where he averted a touchdown and possible lost game by recovering a Raider fumble deep in Lincoln 't erritory. Other Lincoln guards backing up Boettcher and Egger are Spec Klein, Lincoln conversion specialist, Bob Walters, Norvel Emery and Bob Beck.

T he game should be a w ide open affair as both teams have had their share of misfortunes t his fall. The Links have won the last 18 encou nter s between the t wo schools and Central has not garnered a point against the Lincoln eleven, in the last 12 games. Lincoln has racked up 568 points t o Central's 171. T he games won give Lincoln· a big edge, as it has won 29 games, tied t hr ee and yielded n ine times to Central. The Links own the largest margin of vict ory, at 52 to 0 rampage by the '29 eleven. Omaha Central will be stocked with veterans and is paced by two fine all a round backs in Bu d Abboud· ar1:d Clipper Weekes.

would vote for R oosevelt, ~9 . 279 (38.5 % ) would v ote for Dewey, and 5,090 (5 %) w er e undecided. A majorit y of both boys and gir l v oters favored t h e re- election of President Roosevelt, bm the girb gave hi m a h igher percentage of their vote ; 29,295 ( 37 % ) for Dewey, and 2,62 2 ( 5%) were undecided . A mon g the boys 26,376 (55 3 ) favored Roosevelt, 18 . 984 ( 40 % ) D ewey, and 2,468 ( 5 % ) were u ndecided. Accordin g to a breakdow n of poll resu lts, Roosevelt led Dewey b y at least 6 per cent i n every section of the Unite d S tate s. Even with the exclusion of the " Solid South" h e still polled. 54 p er cent ot the stu dent v otes. A second question on the p 01l ballot asked the students if they believ ed t h eir p aren ts wou ld vote for the sam e candidate they w ould. Only 10,593 (10.53 ) w e re .sure t hat their votes were op posite· to t heir p arents' choice, 17,391 ( 17 % ) d idn't know which ca nd idate t heir pa rents would favor, and 74,067 (73.5 % ) believed t h eir pa r ents would make the same ch oi ce as their own .

S tudents v oted by individu al ballot and, after t he poll had b een taken, were in terview ed b y stu dent reporters as to the reasons for their choices. Typical of the reasons g iven for t he re-election of Roosevelt w ere: "R oosevelt's competent leader ship and sou n d judgment a.re needed in t he crucial n1onth s a head. E lecting Dewey would be like putting a gr een footb all .s ub in for a player who understands t he game. Dewey is too green fo r t he big games we m ust play in worl ct ;1ffa irs." "Roosevelt b a s d on e m uch for the people and for labor conditions. I kn ow my parents w ill vote :for h im, because t hey work for a liv ing li ke most people. When someone improves your cond ition, y ou can't help feeling t hat h e will continue along th e same lines ." Representative opinion of tho8e who favored Dewey wer e: "I don't like the 1'emocrats' man. Roosevelt is too big a spender and, if we elect a Democratic president, w e'll ha ve the same condition t hat we did a fter the last war, a Democratic president a nd a Republican Con gress. They could not agree on lasting peace terms."

American Education Week Points Way to New Tasks Education for New tasks is the theme of American Educational week. Building a brighter future for America means that first we must build the people. This is done only through education. That is why America believes in education. Building world wide brotherhood must first be st arted in the schools. Association in clubs and activities that our school presents may be a factor in helping. Groups, m eetings, clubs, teachers may show us how this is to be done, but we are the ones to h elp make it possible. Winning the War is through organizations s uch as Victory Corps, Red Cross and others. By collecting waste paper and tin cans, schools are being a benefit to our war effort. We are studying so that we may have a useful place in post war construction. Taking all that our free public schools are offering us is also an aid. Improving schools for t omorrow is the pupil's problem of today. Being fitted for the jobs prepared for us means that education has to be fitted to the individual. Developing an eduring peace 'Nill be decided by the people who are now fight ing for it. They must have education enough to make a lasting peace. All victories in war and peace are won by the people. They mine the ore, make the steel, fa shion t he weapons, fight the battles, and carry on the businesses. They may make or break the peace. ?r t:? p ~. rin g f o r

education behind it. In schools, various courses are offered in sciences and technology of different kinds. It's the pupil's job to take advantage of this. Science must have its place in the coming generations and have people behind it that can help build a better world. Science and technology m ake possible s ynthetic s ubstitutes for many natural resources. The future holds much for men and women who can perform such miracles. · Educating a ll the people is important becau se people are what makes a nation great. The good earth, min erals , oils, the trees, help a nation, but only as they are developed and used by men. The years t o come will bring problems both of home and abroad and the best possible preparation is education of all the people. Bettering a community life will make this nation of ours a better and more profi_table place in which t o live. Everyone has a part in t his a nd should insist on doing his own part the best. Education backs the entire life of a person and through this he may find a wiser world for the generations after him.
Bring Up Those Grades; It's Simple If One Works Now that the first six weeks are over and the bad news (or was it good?) is known, let's work h ard to bring up t hose 'below average' marks and keep the l 's and 2's up in the higher bracket s . It can be done, believe it or not (but please believe it!) F or instance, a little mor e thorough, concentrated study on t hat hist ory lesson would have rated you as an excellent class discussion participator. H ygiene may be only a two or three hour subject but it cer t ainly is worthy of careful study. Now think! Couldn't you h ave looked up that t erm in E nglish and saved yourself the embarrassment of not knowing it when called on to recite ? It's so very simple when you come right down to it. After all, that Wednesday night program session r eally isn't as enthra lling a s you seem to think. Use t hat wast ed time t o learn your French vocabularies or to review the verbs. No doubt you've heard a n experien ced elder r ema rk that high school days are t he h appiest of your life, as you disgustedly bellow about "school. " That is a most truthful statement, high ·school days are fun, but there 's a purpose in them. Your education, of course, but how saddeni ng to look back on "Those high school days," and wish you had learned t o study. In later life, ~u ' ll find that a cquired knowledge can be an asset. , It may ea sily seem a minor thing t o you now, but the future of t his country is in your ha nds and will r equire dependable, well-educated men and women to take over its ex tremely respons ible positions as citizens of the Unit ed Sta t es .

H allowe'en was celebra ted with just loads of hay-rack rides and picnics. One of those "big" picnics was given by Mary Lou Parkhurst and Pat Graham, turning up with Bob Shultz and Walt Johnson respectively. Some of the different dates showing 11p were Nancy Gish and Harlan Biedeck, Ann Whitham and Dick il'wiford from Northeast, and Ann Randolph and Bob Ferguson. To top it all off, the most of them went to the midnight show. Ah, Yes, and then the teachers ask why we didn't have our lessons! ! Honest , that was apple cider, not kerosene, even if it did taste like vinegar!!

Lincoln high school has acquired the painstaking and healthful habit, writes one boy, of, several times each year, giving each a nd every student a physical examination. That is, almost a physical. When your turn comes, you parade to a table. Behind this table there invariably stands one of your friends, who stupidly asks your name. After much trouble, and declaration that your health card isn't in the file, you stand in line, so t hat a doctor can examine your -teeth. After prodding your teeth with a wooden paddle to knock out any loose ones the doctor r eports to his assistant , "teeth O." Next, you visit the eye, ear, nose and t hroat doctor. He looks quickly at each side of your head and sends you away calling after you, ,as he examines his next patient, "tonsils-0, ears-0, eyes-0, glands-0." Now you have your eyes carefully t ested, to sort out the students who can't s ee the nurse and measure them for seeingeye dogs. Now you can be weighed and measured. You may be half a n inch shorter t han

Pupils Views on New Grade Slips Feiv Comments on Returned Reports
Founded in 1895
-
Noticed by the teachers was the fact that comparatively few parents replied other than signing their names on the new six w eek grade slips. Also they were returned in good shape and promptly. Comments on them by students were varied. Jeanne Branch: "I think they are really good and you find out what the teacher thinks of you." DaYid Leonard: "Teachers can't mark correctly if they don't know the puipls very well. Otherwise they are o.k." Norma Hild: "The new grade slips give u s something to think about and to work for, which I like." William Bauman: "I think the cnes last year were much simpler for teachers and pupils.'' Harry Davis : "I think the new ·grade reports are overworking the teachers. The ones with the scholastic marks are the best." Elaine Washburn: "You find out more of what you are doing ex-· cept in the kind that _haven't grades." Wanda J oy Jones: "I like them because they t ell how to impr ove.''

Betty Carroll: " They are too much extra work for the teachers. My parents think they are S\Vell." Shirley Lewis: "They are childish." Wililam \Venke : "They are too much of a bother t9 carry home and back." B e v er 1 y Battey: " The new grades give us something to work for." Anne Miles: "I think they will pass and I only hope they don't put the teachers in a bad moorl. staying up so late at night. I like the ones w ith the scholastic mark best." Vernon Heckle: "I thought there was a paper shortage." Bob P ackard: "I think it's a good idea to have the parents sign them."

George Wilcox, Writers Club Member, Decomposes History; Accompanied By Little Insect and 32.9751/4 of a Brain Cell Whenever a history test comes around, there is always som eone in the class .who gets so excit ed and anxious to get a per fect ( 1 ) that usually after a lot of bungling it turns ~ut to be a (7) and usually I am that person! It was on a history test the other day that such an e vent transpir ed. It w a s a cool, delightful day; perfect for day-dreamin g. As the teacher was putting the fir st question on the board, I happened to notice a small in sect hur riedly travel across my Spanish b ook, sit my biology book ~nd end up sit ting on the end of my pencil. This little i nsect was to be the d eciding factor in my very important six weeks Ame_i:ican history test . The first ques tion the tea cher had scribbled_ on the board was, "What year did the P ilgrims land and who ·were the Pilgrims?" Now that didn't seem to be SUC'h a hard question .

With Lone-Star running through my threadbare mind, I wrote down the creative words, "Texas is the largest country in t he North American continent with the possible ex ception_ of Brooklyn, and during the . Mex ican w ar, m any Mex icans were killedl" Something seemed wrong to t he statement that m a ny Mex icans were killed during the :rviexican war, so I quickly inserted TexanM exican war instead of Mexican war.

"What are you going to put :first in tomorrow's world?" h e continued. Looking back in t he history of America, it's safe to say that people have in variably p u t money first.

"What a re you going to stand for in tomorrow's world?" was his n ext challenge . Things that persons are tied up '\\;ith are the deciding factors of h appiness, yet there are still some people w ho think they can be isolationists. People should have' their r oots deep in some faith, which will h elp to make them realize what they are here for. "What are you doing now fm: tomorrow?" was the third question. Tomorrow's world is going to he w h at young people <Jre t urnin ~ out to be today. There are m a ny p eopl e who are counting on y ou th. In closing the Rev. D r.

Light Basketball Workouts Started Basketball lettermen of last year's varsity and reserve squads have begun to sharpen thefr basket eyes in hopes of regaining the state title which L.H .S. won in the '42 and '43 tournaments and which was lost last year when Creighton Prep nudged the Links out in a heated overtime batt!P.. Balls have been checked outi nightly and the boys, although not engaging in any stiff practices, have been getting the feel of the baskets and floor. · During the vacations and Q ll Saturdays many hopefuls have been practicing in local gymnasiums and on neighborhood courts. With such an early start, the Links should be near the top of the pack when the final rating:o are in next March.

Duane Grady Posseses Football With Names of Nebraska Rose Bowl Team A football with all the names oi the players who played in the Nebraska Rose Bowl game is the p:oud possession of Duane Grady, whose hobby is football. He has ten differen t scrapbooks that cant o.in many of the famous plays rr,ade in the last eight or nine years. " I believe Sam Francis was one of the greatest football players af all time and there will never be a greater one. Sam is a likable fellow and fame and glory haven't changed him in the least," was t he comment made by Duane after telling of his introduction to Sam. Duane is planning to go to the University of Nebraska where he will major in physical education. "My greatest ambition is to be a football coach," Duane said .w ith much enthusiasm. 0· 1've t110ui;;ht a Lout it eve1 !>iuce I was
a small child when I started •:m my scrapbooks, so you see it isn't just a spur of the moment thought." If the war continues after Duane graduates, he plans to go into the navy as a seaman. "I don't think there is a necessity for compulsory m ilitary training f or 16 and 17 year olds because after t he war is over I am , of the opinion that enough of them will join to hold up the navy and army ·standards. If they t ook 16 and 17 year olds, they would be taking boys out of school and I think that education is too important to be disrupted in this way. Maybe after they graduate, a year's trainin g would be all r ight, but that is the only way in which I would agree to compulsory training,"· was the statement made b:y Dua11e.
Sons· of the Red and Black Nebraska sportswriters, after following Lincoln high school3' Red and Black gridders through a tough, hard fought, and successful season, have al most unanimously agreed u pon the fact that the Beechner men of this year have rounded out into one of the best and efficient defensive squads in state competition. Time and time again, a rival squad, fired by a gain or by a Lincoln loss of yardage, has been stopped short in a determined goal-ward drive by a determined Lincoln squad, and many have been t he instances where desperate pass offensives have been shattered by interceptions. It is only nat ural t hat the cen ters, holding a b ig position as line backers, should figure importantly in this defense. First st ring cent er, and only returning lettenr.an to the mid-
line position is Dan Hergert, 160 pound second team holdover from last year's state championship squad. "Big Red," one of the better h igh school centers of the year ,has t urned in six consecut ively good games this season, sparking t he Links on several occasions by interceptions of rival aerials. Herger t, in h is last year of high school football, has prov'!d l\imself a true "Son of t he Red and Black." Holding down the respective second and third string parts are J ohn " Duck" Weber and Jack Andrews, both of whom mov ed up from Chuck Worrall's reser ve of '43. Weber and A nd rews, splitting three hundred and a qua rter pounds between them, h a v e proven themselves excellent mat erial for Coach Beechner to dra·.v upon in case of emergency.

Richard Mar iscal played outstandi ng ball for the junior L inks, scoring three of the four touchdowns and making two extra points. Knox J ones scored the other touchdown for the reserv es. T ech Coach J ohn Deboer tried all hands in a ttemp ting to st.op the L incoln a ttack, bu t the ju nior Links clan was just too powerful for the Tech reserve eleven . Incidentally the reserves, in losing their opening game t o College View, 13- 6, lost to what is probably the best College View team in recent years. College View has won eight straight games this year without a defeat and the reserves hav e been the only team a ble to score on the Southsiders first team.

Medical Science Plays Important Role in Service M.A.M.A.S., Museum and Medical Arts Service, will play an important role in making permanent the advancement in medical science, which has been called "the only worthwhile result of any war," according to the Science Newsletter. Doctors behind all of our far flung battle-fronts will have this new organization to help them treat the sick and wounded. Organized in 1942, as a part of the army medical museum, its · purpose, stated Capt. Ralph C. Creer, "is to provide an adequate and efficient illustration . service for medical corps." Specially trained artists and photographers the M.A.M.A.S. are stationed at key points to be quickly available. The pictures are flown to the Army Medical Museum in Washington so medical students and physicians can study the pictures of rare diseases, diseased and torn tissue, and go better equipped to treat the wounded and sick. After the war this gallery can serve medical students seeking better understanding and methods of treating disease and injury.

Miss Dorcas Weatherby also spoke to the group about various · ways in which Lincoln high could make our newcomers feel at home and make friends. "Students coming in from small schools are sometimes scared to death," stated Miss Weatherby. Some home rooms work as a unit and bring these new people into the crowd right away. In some large schools, they have 'big sisters and big brothers' who an: assigned to each new student in the school. "These people are a part of Lincoln high and it is our responsibility tomake therri feel this way," said the girls' adviser. Letters will be written to nt.her .sdwols, to get ideas on what they are doing for this situation in their schools. During the student council meeting on Wedne~day, November 8, a discussion was held considering a cleari-:-UP campaign to fix up the cafeteria during the noon hour. It was decided to have announcements over the air and see how that worked. Old business taken up was in relation to the part of the constitution dealing with a tie in an election.

First High Spot Is Big Success; . Much Fun Is Had in Each Activity Bang!! There begins the music and once again Hi-Spot gets underway. A few couples start dancing at first and then a few girls and boys start, soon the girls gymnasium is crowded. And everyone is having a grand time. At least once during the evening a conga line. is formed and the boys and girls join in sliding on the floor--occasionally one OT two drop out, or somebody puts a chair out in front of the leader and trips him, but this is all in fun so nobody gets annoyed. In the pool, girls and boys arc enjoying swimming, and if you hear a few great big splashes, you'll know somebody is diving off the board. Life guards are provided by the city recreation board. Pupils who do not care to job in these activities may go to the boys' gymnasium and spend an evening playing games. The games include checkers, bingo, Chinese checkers, dominoes and a few others. In one end of the room there a re four ping pong tables. The snack bar in the cafeterja i.!: very popular and it makes a place to meet your friends. Cokes
and potato chips are most popular. Occasionally cup cakes are also served. High Spot was begun at Lincoln high school 'to provide entertainment for pupils. when there is not another school activity on the weekend. All expenses are taken care of by the city recreation board or by the small amounts taken in for dancing, swimming and refreshments.

Different Art Work Chosen for Display . From Miss Helen Wilson's art classes, Miss Elva McFie, art superviser, has chosen some of the work that was on ·display during open house to be in her office on exhibition at the board of education building. Some of the drawings were, pastels of still life, black and white drawings from the 'living model and some posters. Miss McFie has tried to choose different drawings to make a variety for this exhibition. Pupils whose drawings were chosen are Kay Darlington, Jeanne Woodworth, Ar lene Vosta, Jo Ann Baker, Ed Becker, Catherine Hinricks, Marie Sobotka, Don Smith, Terry Gradwohl, Ann Whitham, Charles Wilson, Donna Maria Krause, Bob Greuter and Al Mendoza. Of several art · entries for the Artist Guild state exhibition that the Lincoln high students sent to be judged at the art department, at Morr ill hall, Lorraine Ciemny, a senior , had success in having a picture hung. Lorraine is in Miss Gladys Dana's fifth period art class. Lorraine's water color painting is a cluster of flowers, .with a yellow zennia the center of interest. She named this painting the " Yellow Zennia." She had done · three previous paintings from this flower composition.
Seniors Hold Annual Color War Conditions Day .Assembly Alter Classes
Requirements and courses offered to students now registering at Lincoln high for next semester are very similar to those of last year. Changing war· conditions however, tend to alter some classes in the language department. With our boys going overseas, then: is a need for knowledge of some foreign languages. Conversational French is now offered on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays, primarily as a pre-induction course for boys and girls going into the service who may be . associated with. French people. Edward Murrow, CBS commentator in England, recently reported the frantic search among American troops for men who could speak French. With American troops scattered throughout. the world, the knowledge of languages has suddenly become more important to our people that ever before in American history. The Army and Navy classification division keeps a sharp look-out for men and women with language skills.
More First Aid Offered to Pupils .For those who are qualified, an advanced course in first aid will be offered to students the last six weeks of this semester. To be eligible, a pupil must have received previously a certificat.e from the standard Red Cr oss course. Those planning to attend should register as soon as possible, the final six weeks of this semester starting Novomber 27. Completion of this course is necessary for membership in the Volunteer First Aid Detachment which Lincoln high school hopes to organize u n der th e auspices of: the American Red Cross. This new organization will becomt> activ<' at the beginning of next semester and should prove of great value to the school. Information tan be got from home room teachers as to the openings available.
High School Pupils In City Orchestra Donald Mattison playing oboe, Geraldine Kelly and Patricia Felger, playing violin, are the only three students in. Lincoln high that are in the Lincoln Symphony or- · chestra which is · composed of most of the finest musicians in Lancaster county and accepts new members only by tryouts. The symphony's first concert was supposed to have been held October 5, but was postponed because of the illness of Lawrence Tibbetts, soloist. Five other scheduled concerts are as follows: November 14, with soloist Todd Duncan at St. Paui church ; January 9, with soloist William Kapell at St. Paul church; February 22, with soloist Erica Morine at St. Paul church; Apr il 5, with soloist Alec Templeton at. the coliseum; April 24 with the winner of the student audition · at the St. Paul church. Henri Pensis will conduct all the concerts and rehearsals although Mr. Pensis was .unable t'J be here for the first two rehearsals. Bernard Nevin, violinist i:1. the orchestra and instrumental supervisor in Lincoln schools, substituted for him.
Boys Magazine Offers Contest The Open Road for Boys m ag·azine is offering a contest for all high school students interested in writing a short story for the sake of gaining experience and possibly a considerable sum of money if their story is published.

Army Nurse Reviews Trip Army Field Hospital Functions, Hardships Told By Lt. Brigham Functions and hardships of an army field hospital w ere told by Lt. Arny Brigham, army nurse, recently returned from the African theater in her speech to A assembly Friday, November 10. Lt. Brigham reviewed her trip across the Atlantic to Africa and the events during her stay. "At one time," stated Lt. Brigham, " I thought that boys suffering from war neurosis did not want to talk about their experiences in battle, but in psychopathic hospital in which I served, I found that talking helped the boys. I hope that when boys come back you will listen to them if they want to tell their experiences." When she was shipped to Scotland, the ship on which she sailed was very crowded. There were three thousand soldi.ers and nurses on board. The boys were so crowded that they had to sleep in eight hour shifts. In Italy, hospital · conditions weres very poor, but despite this, any soldier who was brought in alive had a very good chance for recov ery. During the hot weather there were more deaths from m alaria than from battle casualties. Once when they were in Sicily the nurses were given five days in which they could do anything they wanted. Traveling accommodations are very poor over there also "so the best way to get where you want to go is to hitchhike," stated Lt. Brigham. Conveniently a mail plane was going to Naples so the nurses got a ride. The city had only been liberated one day. There was no water or gas turned on. "There were many children in the streets nearly starved and women would beg us for food," said the speaker. Lt. Brigham took her training as a nurse at Bryan Memorial Hos.oital and graduated in 1939. She is now back there teaching. The assembly was opened with the boys quartet singing "This is My Country."
Pen Pal Wanted By English Boy • Seeking a pen pal from Lincoln h igh is the object of a letter received by H. C. Mardis, principal, from Donald Moore of Chester, England. "I have heard such a lot about Lincoln, Nebraska, through a pal of mine, who has a pen pal there. Do you think you could find someone out of all your students of your school for a pen pal? " the letter addressed to, "The Principal," asked. Donald Moore is 15 years old. His birt hday is July 2. In his school the subjects taught are algebra, geometry, physics, history, geography, English, literature, grammar, essay writing and French. His hobbies are comic reading, stamp collecting and model aircraft making. Anyone interested may obtain the letter in room 203 . .
Theme Follows Radio Program " Parade of the Stars!" that's the theme of the senior color day assembly, today. Seniors will be wearing their colors, green and white, which are made up of one large white star with a '45 in the middle and attached to it, three green ribbons with white stars on each end.

"Baby Brownie" and "Frozen Shadows" are the names of Mr. Rangelers pictures, repre• senting a kitten and a snowscape respectively. These were Mr. Rangeler's first pictures e ver to be entered and his_comment was "I never thought they would go through." He has been taking pictures off and on for 15 years, although he took more pictures while in Fremont than since coming here . The snowscape in fact was taken we.>t of Fremont. The pictures will bii here' for two weeks and then sent up to Omaha and on to Hastings to be displayed and from there "destination unknown."
Intra-Scholastic Polls Accurate Outcome . of votes cast by the average American citizen was closely approximated by nationwide school political polls; Polls conducted in high schools including Lincoln by Scholastic magazines demonstrated t h e i r worth and efficiency by accurately predicting the presidential victor a nd the percentage margin of victory he would win by. The polls were accurate to within six per cent ·as to how the popular votes of the nation would fall. The accuracy of these nation wide polls is improving yearly with experience gained by their sponsors.
From the Hi~Point of View The headlines are divided momentarily between the European theaters of war and the South Pacific. In the Pacific, a glor~ous promise has been fulfilled, General Douglas MacArthur has returned to the Philippines. It is just two and a half years since his dramatic withdrawal from Corregidor, two and one half years of Japanese domination in the Philippine Islands. American forces, backed oy a strong fleet, have landed and steadily advanced on Leyte island, in the central Philippines. J apanese forces on the main island of Luzon, where Manila is located, are thus cut off from those on Mi ndanao, south of our forces. All of us remember the crud punishment and torture undergone by those Americans and
Filipi.n os w ho surrendered on Corregidor. Those men are being avenged now, and in the front lines of the advancing American army are those who escaped from Corregidor. They, too, have an obligation to fulfill. The Philippines are very important to us strategically. Attacks by land, sea, or air could be easily carried out from there, either striking the Japanese at their homeland, or in China. Another promising note sounding forth from the battle was the high degree of cooperation between our land and naval forces, Without this cooperation, the invasion of the Philippines m ight nev~r have been possible. And it is with this cooperation that we will go on to ultimate victor;y.

Up Program Speaking of "World Fellowship," Mrs. Ray Rice, who lived in India from 1914 to 1943, told the Girl Reserv es Monday, November 4, of their duties to promote the Christian feeling. "As Christians you have a great responsibility in forming these friendships. World friendship is not enough. It must be Christian world friendship. Tear down the opposite side, not by force, but l:>y making friends of your enemies. World friendship can't be built on the spirit of fellowship alone," urged Mrs. Rice. Even in these times, groups nf students are meeting underground to uphold the Christian faith and to help Christians in other countries. "We need something lasting; something to hold the world together. Each one should make his own efforts to be really and truly Christian, by strengthening our lives in study, prayer and friendship," she continued. Mrs. Rice gave three ways in which to build for a better life in the sense of fellowship with God. Recommends Missionary Work. "All have opportunities for ex-

work would be greater after the war than e ver before, Mrs. Rice urged her audience to give consideration to this field of work in choosing their careers. She pointed out that while not all girls are suited to this type of work, that those who could qualify, will find it highly gratifying. Preceding her address, devotions were read by Margaret Jenks. Two vocal numbers, "Giannina Mia" by Rudolf Friml. and "Wake Up!" by Montague Phillips; were sung by Willa Budd.· She was accompanied by Elaine Carrol. Red Cross Seeks Felt, Leather The Red Cross is ·asking for all old felt and old leather. These materials are to be taken to the air field hospital for the .sick men to make various articles. Recipe books are being .compiled to give to every member of the organization. E a c h girl brought one of her mother's favorite tried and · tested recipes which will go into the book. These cook books are for the personal use or reference of each girl.
The quartet, composed of HelSchultz and Merlin M arble sang "This Is My Country," by Jacobs, for the assembly, and repeated it, along with "The Surrey With the Fringe on Top" by Rogers, and "The Woman in The Shoe," by ·Brown, at the Kiwanis meeting. Harvey Swenson,
a Kiwanian
and regular newscaster for KFAB · KFOR, gave an account of the last minute news on all fronts as another feature.

Liberty, Pursuing llappiness Homecoming Soldier Creed "We hold these t r uths tcfbe self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among. these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." A long time ago men of foresight and vision, men of dreams, with lofty ideals and ambitions, wrote these words. They are the creed of free men everywhere. They are a banner which we hold before us in defiance of that age-old foe, tyranny and oppression. As they fall in the steaming jungles of the South Pacific where the hateful little yellow men have led them, or as they lie a cross the crumbling ruins of an ancient stone wall in Germany, where the very feet of hate and h ell have trod, the sweat, tears, and blood of their devotion spills upon the ground and runs into the azure rivers turning them to crimson. The dove of peace shall drink from those waters a nd his breast will be forever stained with that hue, in remembrance of them. Those boys have left the battle behind and their souls are walking again, along the purple fringes of the Rockies, through t he sweet -smelling pine forests of Oregon, feeling the w arm gulf breezes, hearing. the clamor of the Mardi Gras, smelling the maple syrup of Vermont, as it is poured on goiden buci>.;.vheJ.ts, 01 li::1leni115· t:it::ctl;y· tu
the rustle of corn stalks in a N cbra:.> ka field. These are the things they died for. The living things which are monuments to their dead souls. We are the living future and ic asks for our complete dedication. For our loved ones, friends and boys from this very school, who have lost their lives in lim of duty, we hold forth the banner of freedom. Hold it high before you! Hold it firm and go forward! "With liberty and justi~e for all!" We all realize that each family in each town is more or less a section of its own with its own personality and indivi~ua~ity. As the child goes out from that family mto the school, he recognizes that each person h as something differ ent abo ut him. That child has to decide whether he wants to keep his own individuality and go his own way, or whether he wants to be moulded to be like the majority, to follow the leader and be like the crowd. Does t his make for a great school or for a great town or n ation ? People, doing their own thinking and expressing their own per sonality go to make the really great school or town. The differ ent sections 'o f the country, doing their own thinking and expressing their own personalities go in to making the gr eat country of the United States of America.
The Whole Is Equal to the Sum of All I ts Parts There has been much talk in these times that this war h as brought America more closely to other countries; that it has helped her to become more acquainted with the ideas and viewpoints of other countries, and that we under stand them better. This brings t o mind a r ecent conversat ion with a New Yorker who, in coming to Lincoln, made his first trip west of Chicago and was acutely aware right her e in our own country of differen ces. Do we fully understand these a nd appreciate them . as the contributions from each section of the country, which all go into making this the great country that it is? That t he North, East, South and Wes t a re a ll different, with different viewpoints and ideas and manners, but that they all make up America ? Despite the movies, magazines and geography books, this Easterner expect ed to find fir st a t reeless t ableland. Instead he fou~d that we have fields and flocks, hills and dales, trees and stream s , and cities. Next he noticed that the people weren't going around wearing s purs a nd ten gallon hat s and that Indians weren't riding around on Pinto ponies. He was a lso pleased and surprised at the warmth a nd friendliness of the West compared t o the East, where t hey are more or Jess indifferent· to the wants and needs of each other, with the feeling of not having time f;)r anyone else. This Easterner found more individuality in our thinking, more warmth and fire in our religion, which all help adcf up to the fact tha t the East is more conservative than we are here in the West.

Out dancing were Phyllis Cone and Bill ~enke, Jeanne Branch a nd Johnny Boman, J cyce Steele and Kenny Plith, Fay Yonkey a:1d Norval Emery and just loads more. By the bye, Patty Wieland and Roger Stewart and Margie Leese and Bob Walters cam~ to the dance in ver y "reet" outfits consisting of jeans and plaid shirts. They hat been to a picnic!!

- And we a:1.d with this bit of thought !!! Gee, I hac practically a five spot last Saturday nip1t, but before I got home, I · had three ;ents. (Incidentally this three cents was ~nly left because I had it hidden in my sh1e.) Not only did l have to pay money mt for entertainment but there was taxi, artl ea.ts. Well-pause girls, here's where ve got it right back in our faces. You klOW, when you go out with the favorite dr~am man and he can't get you filled on tle food after the show. That's eggsactll what happened to me and quite a few ot}:er people. Well so much for Sadie Hawkins (That fi'and old girl) (Say she must be gettin' :Jretty old by .now) This IS leap year, so take advantage.

SEEN AT THE HI-SPOT The first "Hi-Spot" of t he year turned out to be a huge success and we owe a vote of thanks to the home room representative~ for m aking it possible. Jimmy P hillip's ba nd was r eally "on the beam" as were Don H ays, vocalist, and Peggy E llis, Marilyn Colhapp and Fran Bohner- "Intermission Enterta iners." There were few "dates" to begin with, but quite a few couples went home together su ch as JoJen Loder a nd Bill Hinkle, Nancy Gish and Dan Jones, and Darlene Lorenz and Bob McGehee. Saythat Ray Aguirre was really in the grove when it came to those fast pieces. Let's hope that all of the "Hi-Spots" turn out like the first . · 'I'he Links finished off a swell season in Grand Isla nd Saturday night and now we're a ll ready for BASKETBALL!!! . .
. . .. _
· Some people are so-o-o bright!! Take for instance one person in Mrs. Grace Hyatt's modern history class. All other students in one of h er daily quizes drew blanks when asked, "Just exactly how did Paul, the early Christian missionary, die ?" But not this son - and his paper came in with the answer, "You'll find out all abou t it on page 318, Mrs. Hyatt." We're still wondering if Mrs. Hyatt has had t ime to look up just how this murder was committ ed.

Lincoln Wins
Score Sl· x T1·mes On Islanders Lincoln Passes For Six Good Try-For-Points Lincoln high's Red and Black eleven finished its 1944 football season at Grand Island Friday, November 10, by decisively whipping the I slanders 42-0. Nine men in the Links starting lineup were playing their last game for the Red and Black. In the first quarter, the Links were unable to score, but managed to put across two markers each in the three remaining quarters. They started their firs t touchdown drive late in the opening quarter from their won 10 yard .line. With Alex Fink, Boney Hoffman and Bud Ger lach altern ating in carrying and p assing the pigskin, the Red and Black drove for a touchdown climaxed by Hoffman going ov er from the 1 yard line. Lincoln's second touchdown came shortly after the first whe·,1 the Islanders fumbled the ball ::m their own 49 and the Links recovered. Three plays later Fink broke loose and with a lmost perfect blocking raced 51 yards for a score. After both scores Lincoln passed for the extra point and m ade it good. The R ed and Black lead at the half 14-0. Links Build Up Scores. After Dick Boettcher had interc epted a Grand Island pass cin the Lincoln 38 yard line early in the third period the Links again started a goalward drive. The score came seven plays later with Hoffman again going over from the one foot line . The pass for extra point was again success.f ul. The Links scored their fourth touchdown on the longest run of the game. It came late in the third stanza after an exchange c1f punts had been made and the Red and Black were in possession of the ball on their own 28 yard lir.~. Alex Fink taking the ball, cut thr u the Grand Island tackle and past their secondary for 72 yards and a touchdown. The Third City lads trailed at the end of the third period by a 28-0 count.

Way of Returning Vcterans Is Easy Whoever pays for t h e education of returning veterans, there is no doubt that the way is being made easy and a ttractive.

Knowledge on skills acquir ed in war training w ill be t aken into consideration and he said that the Univ ersity of Illinois already h as determined to r egister on a broad basis rather than on formal credits or records produced.
The Black Raiders of East , eyed with misgivings by Lincoln fans and supporters as a threatening cloud on the Red and Black championship horizon, were irrevocably barred from championship pay d irt by their 27-14 loss to Sioux City Central, which, by way of this victory, has obtained the number two spot in Missouri Valley rankings.

Junior Links .Lose Final Game 26-6 l(nopp Scores For Reserves Losing 26-6 to a fast Boys Town reserve squad, the Junior Links, closed their season Tuesday afternoon, November 7, at the Boys Town home field in Omaha. Ken Morris, a fast fullback, scored the victor's first t ouchdown. The team failed t o make the extra p oint. The Junior L inks scored after Richard . Mariscal ran 32 yards to the Boys Town 15- yard line, set ting u p the pins for a pass from Mariscal to Knopp, who crosserl the d ouble-stripe for Lincoln's lone tally. Being stopped short on attempted plays th.rough the Red and Black line, the Omahans skirted the e nds and used . passes, which, aided by two speedy backfield men, Morris and · Barnes, were enough to drop the reserves. The Towners made two more scores before t he halftime gun. Barnes, left halfback, :;;cored both bllies, once racing 30 yards and a~in snatching a pass good for 60 ya1i s and a touchdown. One of the .:ries for extra point was made good. The half ended at th is point with <. 19-6 score. The >econd half started with four Lir.~ oln regulars out.

According. to the postwar plan of Coach Slip Madigan for American youth, universal competitive athletics, and not compulsory military training would be the order of the. day. In the Tuesday Journal was the story ir. which the University of Iowa football mentor said: "Competitive athletics brin gs out fighting spirit, determination, and selfconsecration to a cause. "The Germans, m arveling at the miracle of our quickly assembled, briefly tpined army in the la st · war, sent an investigat ing committee to the United States, when p eace ca.me, to find t he secret. The report wen t b ack that here we went in for competitive sports, from t he playgrounds, throu gh the universities. Thus, Germany went in for individual sports- a nd developed, among other t hings, Max Schmelin g, not to mention a second place in the 1936 Olympic track and field championship s."

Earl Derr Biggers, Detective Fiction Writer, Created Play Character, Chan One of America's most popular novelists and writers of detective fiction is Earl Derr Biggers, ai.1thor of "The House Without a Key,'' dramatized for t he senior play t o be given December 8- 8. Earl Biggers was a skilled and kindly craftsman who knew his audience. He died of heart disease a t Pasadena, California, in hi s forty-n inth year, leaving his wife ar. d son . Bigger s was an inventor of Charlie Chan mysteries. Born in Warren, Ohio, h e graduated from Harvard in 1907 and began work on the Boston Traveller where he ran humor ous columns and wrote occasional d r a m a t i c criticism. Charlie Chan, Biggers' likable, aphoristic Chinese detective came along some · years later in "The House Without a Key,'' 1925 which is a mysterp-comedy. He was not drawn directly from life, although Ch ang Apana, a Chinese H awaiian detective, who called on Biggers at his Honolulu home, t hought differently. "Sinister a nd w icked Chinese are n ot old stuff," Biggers once explained, but an amiable Chinese on the side of law and order h ad never b een used. If I understand Charlie Chan correctly he has an idea that if you under stand a man's character you can n e arly predict w hat h e is apt to do in any kind of circumstances." Chan never d id appear in sho?:t stories to the perennial r egret of anthologists. He continued his whol e life t o Biggers just as She rlock Holmes dominated Conan Doyle. Like Holmes, too, h e is one of those r ar e fictional characters who have transcended and outlined the stories in which they app eared, as well as their authors. As the Nation said in an obitu ar y editorial, Biggers' detective fiction w as also good literature, and Chan symbolized the sagacit y, kindliness a nd charm of t he Chin ese people; his epigrams "red istilled the wisdom of .the a ges in a new captivating fashion." Bigger s wrote a great many works during the t ime he lived.
From the Hi-Point of View BY TED SORENSEN. Threats a nd propaganda issued forth by our two major e nemies, Germany and J apan, are becoming more and m ore of a farce to the allies, a nd are being gen erally disregarded. The great Japanese naval victory over the . American fleet, broadcast widely by their radio, turned out t o be a decisive victory for our forces. Now the Germans h ave rel eased their "double destructive," V- 2 rocket bomb. The V- 2 is n othing to la ugh over. But it does not live up to the German threats about it. · The new V- 2 bomb travels very fa st and very high, estimated to go seventy or eighty miles up into tn~ str atosp h ere. Its speed is faster than sound. When one hear s it, he is out of danger, for that mean s t he bomb is already p ast , and the aound is just coming by then.
These r ocket bombs travel at terrific speed w ith a screami ng w histle, then explod e with a deafening crash , thus making it a danger ous sounding w~apon . But its bark is worse than its bite. For a w hole year the Nazis boasted d their new super- weapon, but the V- 2 is hardl y worth it. Rocket bases have already been captured and destroyed by allied troops advancing in E,_urope, and future advances will bring another Ger man honor weapon t o its destruction. Howev er, . the rocket bomb and the robot bombs amplify even greater the n eed for a lasting p eace. For in another war , it would be a simple matter to unleash this weapon on the Unite d States. Army a nd Nav:.• officia ls h av e stated that this is quite possible even in this war. This or a n y other destruction o( our h omeland, must be pre vented.
Some of them are: "Seven Keys to Baldpate" 1913, "Love Insurance" (novel) 1914, "Inside the Lines" (play) 1916, "A Cure for Curables" (play written with William Hodge) 1917, "See-Saw" (musical comedy) 1919, "Fifty Canales" (novel) 1926, "Behind the Cur ·· tain" (novel ) 1928, "The Black Camel" (novel) 1929, "Charlie Chan Carries On" (novel) 1930.
Pupils Urged To Give Help 29 Lincoln High Pupils Receive Credit in PreEmployment Classes To prepare to hel p dur ing the Christmas rush, 29 L .H.S. pupils received credit in the classes in pre-employment t a ught by Miss Fern Hubb ard, supervisor of secondary d istributive education in the public schools. In commenting on the service w hich high school pupils can give during the ChrisJrnas trade season, M. C. Lefler, superinten dent of school s, says: ''.Whiie the continuance of their education is the most im port ant thing that h igh school pupils of ability and promise can do in the presen t emerge ncy, the schools fully appreciate that ther e are many services which these pupils can render at out-of-school hour s and on special occasions. In order that these young people may be of greatest assistance to their employers dur ing the Ch ristmas season, preemployment courses are being offered and every assistance possible will be given in J:!lacing them where the experience gained in their employment will supplement the training which the school has giv en to them." Miss Hubbard sta ted that she is certain that what students all over the United States are doing in their communities tu alleviate shortages of help at this time will be done by students in Lincoln too. More than 90.% of the students who t ook the course prior to the h olidays last year were employed by Lincoln m erchants throu ghout the summer and are assisting on Thursdays and Saturdays n ow.

Postwar compulsory military training is favored by 31,097 or 58.5 % of American high school boys, but the girls are against 1t. Only 23,511 (38 .5 % ) of American school girls approve such a plan. In Lincoln high's poll, 68.8% of the boys and 47.3% of the girls fa vo r e d compulsory military training. This variation from opinion in the nation poll, is revealed in results of a survey just completed by the Institute of Student Opinion, sponsored by Scholastic Magazines. Of the 60,555 high school girls polled in the national survey, 26,885 ( 44.5 % ) turned thumbs down on strictly military training for 17 to 23-year-old boys after the war. Among the 131 Lincoln high girls polled, 44 were against it. Among 52, 965 high school boys p olled, 16,007 (30.5% ) registered a negative vote. Among the 122 boys polled here at Lincoln high, 31 turned thumbs down. Seventeen per~ent or 10,159 of the girls and 5,861 (11%) of the boys were undecided. 'I wenty-five of Lincoln high's girls and seven boys were u ndecided . Decided Upswing During Year. The boys vote shows a decided u pswing in favor of peacetime military training during the pa[ t year. In an Institute of Student Opinion poll, conducted in October, 1943, high school boys gave postwar military tr aining only lukewarm approval with a 47 percent vote for, 453 against, and 8 percent, n o opinio~.. Although still opposed, high · school girls are less strong in thei~· opposition today than a year ago. lu lhe 1943 p v~~ t he girls vote 'F" ' 59 percent against peacetime mil'.tary training, 31 percent for, and 10 percent undecided. President Roosevelt's Suggestion. Another question on the recent poll ballot measured high school student opinion on President Roosevelt's suggestion of one year's compulsory service "not necessarily military training for. 17 to 23-year-old boys after the w ar. A small plurality of both boy and girl voters approved this plan, but the boys were much less favorable t o this than to strictly military trai ning. The boy's v ote showed 28,582 ( 46.5% ) in favor of a year's service, "not necessarily military,'' 21 ,773 ( 41 % ) against, and 6,610 (12.5% ) undecided. Among the girls 27 ,505 (45.5 % ) approved, 23,394 (3 8.5 %) opposed, and 9,655 (16 %) had no opinion. Out of t he 131 girls voting on the question her e at L incoln high 62 a pproved, 41 turned thumbs down, and 28, no opinio!I.. Of the 122 b oys voting, 39 favored it, 55 disapproved, and 8 undecided. The Institute of Student Opinion conducted the poll through its membership of ·· more tha n 1,200 high school newspapers represenling all sections of the United States.

Advanced Pupils Offered Course Plans are under way in Lincoln high school to organize a Red Cross volunteer first aid detachment, having as members stu• dents who have completed both the standard and advanced courses in first aid. Both these required courses are offered in Lincoln high. The advanced classes, a new ad· dition to the school's curriculum, will be offered for the first time the last six weeks of the present semester. The detachment will be divided into squads of five members each, including a squad leader. This makes it easier to handle the detachment during training sessions and practfce periods. These squads will be assigned to posts which they will occupy during time 0! emergency or g a t h e r i ng s of crowds. Membership will have to be limited to the students whose grades are average or above in first aid work, as the detachment cannot number more than 50. After the detachment has been fully organized, a schedule of supplementary training will be inaugurated under the leadership of t he first aid instructors. This supplementary training will be additional to that already received in previous courses. The purpose of this additional training is to keep the work done by the det a chment effective and up-todate. Special emphasis will be given in this supplementary training to injuries that are the result of fires or other injuries likely to be received in mass accidents. Upon becoming a member, the students will r eceive white arm ba nds which they will wea r when nD
d nf.~ ~
Those students who now possess standard certificates a re eligible for the advanced classes and should see about registering at once. Further announcements will b e broadcast over sound by Harri9 Graves, Red Cross representative.

Whom Are We Working For, Ourselves or The Teacher? American schools are one of the major places where democracy should and does exist. Great contributions have already been made by the American school in spite of some defects. But somehow many students have not been attracted to school. Too many leave school as soon as the law allows and other grumble about having to attend. The principle difficulty with our schools is that they have not adequately enlisted the interests and energies of students in school work and many students have got the wrong idea about what they are going to school for and how to do it. Most of us have already found out that life is not merely a pleasant affair, or a continual satisfaction of personal interests. There must be a continual exercise of effort in the performance of t asks so as to form the habit of dealing with t he later labors of life. But it is not so hard really to enjoy school. School work can be made much more interesting by use of extra books, pictures and conversations about the t opic with parents and friends. Beside the interesting much more can be learned eaEily too. Often one can find more interesting and f;l e7,•· r!esc:ript i('))1C: of fl t0pir. in 3 library book than in· tlie class textbook. It is one thing to memorize a scientific principle or law, still another to know how it was arrived at and another ot recognize how it can be applied. To qften we students forget who we are doing our school work for. We should ask ourselves, "For whom am I doing this assignment?" The answer would be, "For myself of course." Once that idea got a firm hold most school worry · would vanish. Most of us are interested in what's being discussed in a class and want to understand it clearly. And when we don't quite get the first algebra formula, the one that should have had two periods devoted to it instead of the last five minutes of the class the day before the final examaii:J.tion we don't enjoy being kept in the dark. Most t eachers answer our questions fairly, but once in a while one is heard to say "You'll. find it covered quite adequately in your t ext book." Teachers should encourage more individuality, letting students t ell their opinions about the topic. Without that encouragement a nation of progressive thinkers would n ever be developed.
Cleanup Week Should Come For Lincoln High After the last home football game, were you one of the m any that threw your football program on the ground? When you finished lunch yesterday, were you one of those who left his lunch wrappings on the ground? The school grounds are all cluttered up with all kinds of papers, cardboard containers and every imaginable gum and candy wrappers. Did anyone say ther e was a war on? Now we know why there's a paper shortage. All the pieces of paper can be saved for the scrap paper drive. . Lunch sacks and wrappings can be taken back home and used over and over again. Pa per sacks are next to impossible for downtown stores and grocery stores to obtain . A custodial force can't be hired to go around and pick up aft er each individual. The school is judged as a whole by the outward a ppearance. The front north walk was built to walk on, but the bushes lining it seem to work as cat ch-all. Now the sides are lined with paper wrappers. The grounds near the north gate continuing down west on J street have m ore wrappers than the garbage can near the north sidewalk steps can collect iri two weeks. Between bush es are papers that have been blown there. As one walks thru on the sidewalk all h e can see to the right and to the left of him are all these dirty programs, candy wrappers. Maybe it isn't a ll the pupils doing, but most of it can be attributed to the students of L . H. S. Those traveling by on the street- get the wrong impression of Lincoln high when they notice the papers strewn or blown all over. So let' s everyone keep the grounds as clean and as neat as possible from now now on. After all, it's our own school and if we don't take care of it and keep it clean, who should or who will?.

Cooking Classes Are Learning More Than Just the Prepara.t ion of Good Food "Yum, yum," is the best description for the aroma ·corning from Mrs. Katherine Henninger's cooking classes, but they are learning more than the preparation of good food. These girls first studied the t hree different classes of income and the amount of money which should be spent for food alone for each income of average family size for a year, m onth, day and meal. Dividing up into groups of four and five, each of which figures an average family size, they started by first preparing breakfast menus for e ach different income level, figuring the cost of each item served for that meal.

Dear Editor: While persuing the• extremely entertaining contents of Noah
Webster's most illustrious work, I happened upon his interpretat ion of a word used in the editorial of last week's Advocate. Acc_o rding to Noah, who I believe is accepted by all as a competent authority, conservative means, "Disposed to maintain existing institutions or views, opposed to change." Hav ing been an inhabitant of Maryland from July 1, 1929, 7:28 A. M . until July 2, 1944, 7: 15 P. M ., I was very surp rised to learn in an Advocate editorial that the East is more conservative tha.n ~he West. ·: h a •:c not uoliced any great differ ence in that respect between · t':1e Fa .~ t and West. U pon r eading that the opinions of one easterner, "All help to add u p to the fact that the East is more conserv ative than we are here in the West," I, being a geometry student, wondered what type of reasoning was used in establishing this fact. I'm sure the blinding brilliance of the sport coats and ties of eastern boys, the jitterbugging of the high school kids, and the politics of such eastern politicians as Saltonstall, Roosevelt, and Baldwin, do not represent an "opposition to change." It may be that certain oscial customs are observed more carefully in the East, but I have found the political and economii:! view points of the westerner to be more conservative than those of the easterner. Although there may be some element of t r uth in your statement, in view of the large number of native born westerners who now live in the east and the myriad easterners now m aking their home in the West, I am afraid it would produce many a faul ty syllogism if used extensively as a major prem ise. Sincerely, Don Gish.

Flowers begin to open And spread their fragrance o'er, And birds break out in happy song; To sing to me once more. And to hear the happy shouts of children, Over games which are played, Then for the cheerful meal which is eaten, Made of r ipe golden grain so tediously flayed. After the noon work is done, Out. walking I shall go; F or nothing is more peaceful Than a nice, quiet stroll.

Marvin's orchestra, organized in the summer of 1943, has seve:1 members, including Gerry Layman, Herbert Hursh, Jerry Hudson, Ed Weaver, Jack Hayes, Ed Down, Harold Dietrich and LaVerne Everett. Everett, who soon will be leaving for the navy, will leave a vacancy in the orchestra but will be replaced by Marvin as soon as possible. Marvin organized h is orchestra as a hobby during the summer before entering high school and has played at dances, for fairs and High Spot and a lso has performed at Tecumseh, Sewal'd, N'e 1nana :mu .Syracuse. F'or two weeks last summer Marvin was on the road with an orchestra and traveled in Nebraska and Iowa. Marvin plays a saxophone or bass and has played with several local orchestras. Maryin started his musical career in the Lincoln high band. Commenting on his orchestra Friday night in jive talk Marvin said, "We won't be a r eet bat affair, but we will give out with some good solid music." The red and black decorations in the girls gymnasium symbolized · the closing of the Lincoln high football season. In the game room , shuffleboard h as been added to the games of last week. Refreshments served in the cafeteria by the snack bar committee
included cokes, potato chips a nd cup cakes. This year a suggestion box will again be placed in front of the office on the gl ass case, and this will enable students to write any suggestions in order to improve the parties. Miss Esther Montgomery, supervisor, commented on High Spot, "We still can use more vol • unteers for committees and then eve,rybody will be able to take turns in working." The central committee of H igh Spot does n ot wish to h ave any rules in connection with the par· ties, but does expect everyone to have a good, decent time. "These parties are not for a few people but for all students h J,..H.S . We do not want a ny guests to come to th~ parties a~ we are already crowded," declared Miss Montgomery. "Thi! parties have been good so far but as soon as we have a bad party it will be t he last one," she concluded.

Council Discusses Cafeteria Eating Not To Be In Halls Since the situation in the cafeteria can still be improved, announcements over the sound system by Student Council members are being tried, to see if something more can't be done. Speakers were scheduled at the meeti ng last Wednesday. It seems that a few stude.n ts have been forgetting that food should be eaten only in the cafeteria and not in the halls. Due ~o the acute shortage of custodians, students are urged to do their part to keep the school clean. An editorial on the automobik accident in which three high school students were killed in Council Bluffs, was read by Marian Battey. The article, taken from the Abraham Lincoln high school paper in Council Bluffs, will be rea d by a student council member over sound. It was decided that the next m eeting, on November 25, would be held in room 201.
Capitalism Vs. Socialism To Be Discussion Topic Capitalism v ersus socialism will be the discussion topic at the meeting of the Forum November 27. Member s gave impromptu speeches when the Forum h eld il;; regular mee ting Monday, N ovember 13. Some of the topics spoken on were "Toothpicks," "Neckties" and "What to Do with Germ any." The chairmen for next week ';; d iscussion are Wendell Olson and Harold McNabb.
Boy Quartet Sings For Junior High The boys quartet took part in an assembly at Irving junior high last Wednesday. Hearty response was given ~o "This Is My Country,'' by J acobs, "The Surrey With the Fringe on Top," from the stage a nd screen production, "Oklahoma," arni " The Woman in the Shoe" by Brown. The numbers presented by the quartet followed three songs by the Irving mixed chorus, und er the direction of Miss Ruth Haberly.
PERSO~ All Lin coln teachers are invited to a Pinafore a nd Jeans party, to be held at Everett junior high school, November 24., at :00 P . M. Mar y Lou 'Wallace is a new student in Lincoln high this semester, entering from Kearney high school. Mary Lou likes the school spirit very much and thinks the teachers and pupils are v ery friendl y . The rooms having no tardiness during November 9-16 are: 103, 133, 135, 128, 130, 132, 136, 307, 303, 304, 321, 325 and 401. A m odel of a V-I robot bomb is on display in the showcase opposite the office. It was made by Carl Stewart, sophomore in Lincoln high.

Plenty Of Time, Energy And Effort Devoted In Order To Put On A Successful Assembly Seven long weeks of thought , planning and preparation, in fact since the beginning of the semester, has been the 'Work of the s':!nior spo11sors, Miss Mary Bardwell and Miss Josephine Wible, in order that senior color day might be presented in the gr and fashion it was last Wednesday. Yes, . at the very first of th 2 semester thoughts were running through their minds as to a theme. Finally, the sponsorn struck on the idea of having a radio-television broadcast and th ey chose as their theme, Parade of The Stars. Next came the holding and arranging of tryouts which called for a get-togetb.er of the commit tees two or three times to deci::le upon the variety of acts. These committees, which also had to be organized, proved to be quite a problem, due to the fact that so many students are working o~.:t sidc of school. But finally a stage, program, and color committee were decided upon, consisting of five, five, and six members respectively.
3 Students Give Art Demonstration Pat Graham, Frances Wallace and John Kirsch, students from . . Lincoln higb,' gave d cmol"ls trations at Morrill H all, November 9, at the Lincoln Artist Guild program, called "Art in Action." Pat and Frances gave their demonstrations of stenciling on fabrics and paper. John Kirsch gave his demonstration in painting in opa que watercolor. He painted from a living model. Miss Gladys Dana, art teacher, gave a demonstration of stenciling on fabrics and paper. Different demonstra tions were given in many galleries throughout the building. Some of them were silhouette cutting, chalk drawing, making linoleum cuts for Christmas car ds, hand weaving, clay modeling and sculpture and st enciling.

Mrs. Helen Bretz and Miss Dorcas Weatherby took great interest, serving as judges along with th~ two sponsors and the program committees. Setting up the program and getting it printed was none too easy. Many an hour, in fact five evenings were spent by the color committee in getting 560 stars (:Ut and ribbons and tiny silver stars pasted on them so that they could be worn by every senior on color day. LeRoy Walters in Miss Gla dys Dana's art class made the linoleum block used in printing the large star with the '45 in the center. The time given to rehearsing, decorating, and buying of materials proved plent.y, including the time the performers spent in practicing, with so.m e even making their own costumes. Art Pa rchen, mas'ter of cere monies, along with Don Spomer, his sponsor, worked out their own lines with some help of the sponsors. By the way, we can never let it be said that any Lincoln high

teacher or adviser is not a good sport after the b ig joke about them in the Hilights of News. Told in advance, they consented willingly. On numerous occasions during the preparation of color day, the custodian lent a helping hand in getting stepladders, pianos and such. Since. a senior sponsor has so many responsibilities, one is given a free period. In the class of '45, Miss \Vible happens to have a free fifth to devote to things such as senior color day. Miss Wible stated, "One. or both of us have been obliged to spend part of each day preparing programs for the last seven weeks." Then the question is asked, "\Vhy don' t 'Ne have more student talent assemblies.,??

Symphony Orchestra
Performs Henri Pensis Is Director Highlighted b y the stirring string arrangement of "Star Dust" by Carmichael and the truly national folk tune, "Turkey in the Straw" arranged by Guion, the Lincoln symphony orchestra, conducted by Henri P ensis, gave .the concert for pupils of Lincoln junior and senior high schools a~ nine o'clock, Tuesday, November 14, at the Stuart theater. Several hundred pupils in music classes here attended. The program opened with the "Star Spangled Banner" and wa5 followed by the Coriolan Over·ture by Beethoven. This overture wa s inspired by the play "Coriolanus" and was written in 1807. It tells the story of Coriolanus, a patrician, banished from Rome because of his defiance of the plebians. Seeking revenge, he led an army to the gates of Rome, but was so touched by the entreaties of his wife and mother, that he withdrew it, thus bringing about h is own downfall and death. Spectres Dance to Fiddling. Saint-Saens', "Danse Macabre" followed, describing in tones, its weird scene of spectres rising from their graves to dance to the grim fiddling of death. Next the widely loved music of "Star Dust" and then, "Jazz Pizzicato" by Leroy Anderson, the America n composer. This piece is arranged for string orchestra and is written in the rhythmical style so popular with present day radio orchestras. The entire song is played by plucking the strings. Guion's arrangement of "Tur k ey in the Straw" cha nged the mood from modern to age-old. The concert ended with prelude to the third act of "Lohengrin" by Wagn er.

The win closed the most successful season in Kearney grid history, winding up an untied and undefeated season. Curtis was the second team to score on the Cats, the other team being the potent Red and Black from Lincoln who fell in the Cats' opener 7 to 6, producing the only close call experienced by the high flying Bearcats.

Milton Wieland and his cousin shared honors for the second game, showing 12 points to their credit in the 21-17 score. Then continuing their winning ways, they entered the national tournament in Chicago where they defeated Canton, Illinois champion, but fatigued by travel, succumbed to Mt.

Theirs was a friendly, but grimly contested rivalry, which no doubt contributed to the greatness of both.

Gaining the Nebraska state championship laurels, the team journeyed to Colorado Springs to meet the powerful Colorado Springs Terrors who had suffered but one defeat in nine years. The Lincolnites won the opener 35-25 with clockwork precision. Holland received the ball from all corners, dropping it in from fantastical positions. With a similar fighting spirit, they beat the Terrors, 31-19 the next night, to gain the Colorado state crown. Among the features of the game, was a perfect throw by Holland, in which he received the ball under the basket, dribbled to the corner of the floor , where bending backward, he lightly tossed it through the hoop.

Tuberculosis Program Includes Control and Prevention of Disease
Pron1 w~ill Be
In a survey on employment taken during the month of October, it was shown that about 31 percent of the pupils enrolled in Lincoln high were working for pay out of school hours. This percent is expected to increase in December,. as the Christmas rush will employ many more pupils.
iymbol on its BUY 1111 USE ::::hristmas seal. Cbrlstiaas Sais The idea of a seal "tu sell health" originated with a postal employee, ac-. cording to Mrs. Kittee Cosandier, secretary. "In honoring one postal employee who had an idea which was to be used to raise health standards," she said, "we want to honor all men and women who play such a vital part in aiding people to communicate with one another. The idea originated with a kind-hearted Danish postal clerk named Einar Holboell. The seals were first used in Denmark in 1904. "In this country, 2,500 groups have become affiliated with the National Tuberculosis Association to work for tuberculosis control in cities, towns and villages in every state. The past 40 years have seen the death rate from the disease cut 75 percent. That is a good record, but we have. no right to gloat when we realize that tuberculosis still kills one person every nine minutes and is the first disease killer of persons between the ages of 15 and 45.
at a median of 20'12 hours per week. The total hours worked this year at the time of the census was reported as 10, 153 hours· per week by 597 pupils from an enrollment of 1,927 as compared to about 12,000 hours worked per week in October, 1943, by 667 pupils from an enrollment of 1,982. The average hours worked per week in 1943 was 18, with the average ·decreasing in 1944 to 14.6 hours. This decrease is probably due to the fact that some pupils in last year's enrollment have quit school to work full time, although we know a large proportion of the loss is due to boys going into the Armed Service, according to H. C. Mardis, principal. In tabulating the types of jobs held this fall, it was found that for girls, 105 are sales persons in retail stores, 69 are waitresses, 25 stenographers, 11 laundry workers and the balance have miscellane- ' ous work, not over six in any one category. The boys had a much wider spread of employ111ent, not over eleven working at any one type of work.

Students Should Welcome New Classmates in L.H.S. Lincoln high wake up! There are many new students within these four walls-pupils that need help in finding their way around, and in making new friends. It was reported by Miss Dorcas Weatherby, in home room representatives meeting that we have been criticised on the hush-hush, but now it has come out in the open that some Lincoln high pupils have been giving new members of ·our school the cold shoulder. There is much a new member can do for us, if we only stop to think about it. We should be interested in his views and ideas, and sympathetic with his interests, and tolerant of his opinion. Can we do any less when an individual, or a human being is involved? In one home room the teacher and the home room representative set the tempo. The pupil is introduced by the teacher and invited to tell something about the place he or she came from, something about the school and the special features thereof. The class chimes in with questions, and soon the shyness in the new member is gorie and he is telling the things that interest him which sometimes are of great help to the teacher and the class. Everyone benefits. And right here it would be the time and place for volunteers for a "Big Brother" or a "Big Sister" for the new pupil. Like the idea?
This ls Your City, Are You Ready to Help It This is just an average American town. War had come here the same as it had all over America. Defense factories have sprung up in buildings once forgotten, and on the edge of the towri an air field was hurriedly built to train men. Men, both young and old, have gone to do jobs wherever they are needed. Those left behind carry on, with their work ·and with the work of those who have had to leave. . But you can tell at a glance that this town has not lost an ounce of its pride that it had before the war. No matter how busy -its people always have time for a kind greeting or maybe a word or two. Where you once could see young boys and their girls walking together, you now see those same couples-one in uniform. They may have gone away to fight, but they always come back with an assuring smile, and went back out, to finish the job they had started before. Only the uniform distinguishes them more, and gives them a certain feeling of pride. You pick up a paper and find that a boy died in line of duty or another was wounded or captured in Europe. They can't all come back and the people here realize that. They just hold their heads up a little stronger and work a little harder. That is why, now more than ever, we should invest-invest in the biggest War Loan drive of them all, the sixth. Don't buy a stamp or two and try to get off easy, but a bigger "War Bond" than ever. You will save "his" life, and remember you're not giving-you're investing in America's future as well as your own.
No Mail ls Disappointing To Boys in Armed Forces Private Johnny Doughboy sits on his bunk looking very sad. Mail call is over and again he didn't get any mail. All the other fellows are laughing and joking and reading to each other parts of their letters, but he can't join in because he hasn't any letter 'to share. All sorts of thoughts run through his mind. Maybe the folks are sick, or maybe they're just too busy to write. But who has any less time for writing letters than Johnny himself? Life in the army isn't easy -you have to get used to new surroundings, new faces, and new routine of living. Yet, every night that he. isn't too tired, Johnny writes at least a few lines home, just to let them know he's all right. Almost as disappointing as no mail at call, is a constant stream of complaints about rationing, and scarcities and sickness at home. It won't do any good to worry the boys in service about what's wrong at home, they have enough to do. It doesn't take long to write a letter, and the writer is well rewarded by letters from the boys with their gratitude for your showing in words that you think of them often and are just as anxious as they for their homecoming.

Open Forum To the Editor: Under the stress of war excitement, a bill which will compel every American boy to spend a year of his life in military service is about to be pushed through. A majority of peop le h ave regarded it favorably because they haven' t thought it through carefully. Let us examine some of the arguments commonly presented in its favor. It is claimed that the United St ates will become S'.J strong that no other nation will dare attack us. This was the idea which prompted several European powers, namely France and Germany, to requir t such conscription as far back as 1792. One can see just h ow much of a preventive measur e it was. When we start building a great army such as this, it will start a n armament race among other nations, wh ich has been shown to inevitably lead to a future war. Let us also look at compulsory peace time military training in reference to a much-talked-of world peace plan. This is assuredly the plainest way of saying that we do not mean to have and cooperate with a peace organization. Another point which is brought up is that such a plan would be good physical training. This is true only to a small extent. Good h ealth can be obtained only t hrough good childhood conditions, rather than rigid physical exercise for on e y ear. The last p oint, and a rat her feeble one at that, fr ' .h<il. th·.~ younger generation will appreciate what America fights and has fought for. Will compelling the discomforts of army life make a group of boys realize this? The who:e program tends t·J produce a feeling of false security, and e ven hamper the United S tates in keeping up with modern scientific warfare. The immense cost of this program could much more advantageously be spent for the separate things it is supposed to do. This bill also allows for the recalling of any boy who has fi n ished his service within a period of eight years. After hampering a boy's start in making his way in t h e world , when he does fina lly get set in a b usiness, h e is liable at any time to be called to drop it, and go back into the army for. refresher courses. This bill contains the very principles w hich we are fighting; and certainly at the present, when everyone is war conscious and our fighting men are away and can h ave no say in the matter, no such bill should even be consid ered. DAVID LEONARD.

Something strictly new in the line of lingerie are the "Topsters~" If you saw Betty Davis in " Old Acquaintance" you will remember the long pajama top which she wore. Well this is where the "Topsters" originated. At $3.95 they're three quarter length and coming in red or blue checked cotton, they would be darling for everyday use, slumber parties, or week-ends away. Something else for you " holiday minded 'people" are the 100 % wool scottish plaid "brunch coats." Coming in red, blue, yellow or white and at only $14.95 they're an exclamation point in fashion for you. They're so smart that they can actually live a double life for you. Although they're supposed to be worn for lounging you could wear them over slacks or as a coat in the spring and no one would ever be the wiser. "Time Waits for No One." No sir gals, it doesn't; so hurry down to Hovland - Swanson and start on your Christmas shopping now.

Thanksgiving decorations were made for the U.S.O. party November 23 on short notiee by the art students of Miss Helen Wilson's. During the third and fourth periods of Miss Wilson's art classes, l arge sheets of wrapping w ere lying on the floor, while students crawled on their hands a nd knees, blocking in and coloring large figures of Pilgrims. T hese large crawings were put on the big pil lars in the ball room of the U.S.O. Ordinarily a problem of this ·sort needs at least a w eek, if not mor·~ to plan a nd get the d rawings all worked out, but these were completed in a day. Many pupils worked on these drawings. Ed Becher finished up
the work of Donna Mar ie Krause which was a l arge drawing of a horn of plenty, done in bright pastels. Catherine Hi nrichs and K ay Darlington finished up the two l arge drawings of P ilgrims which Ann Whitham blocked in. A nn B elle Dahlgren b l ocked i n a turkey on a p latter, while Marie So k otka added t he finishing touches. Dorothy Herdt and eJanne Woodworth also finished up the dra wings that Ann blocked in.

Poems, Basketball Games and Bonfires Announce Autumn and Thanksgiving "When the frost is on the pum k in' and ·the f Qoder's in the shock "And you hear th e kyouck a n d gobble of the struttin ' turkey cock-" Poem s, bask etball games, ialling leaves, bonfires, frosty >nornings, a ll these things and many more tell us that fall is here, bringing w ith a Thanksgiving. Down through the years since the first Thanksgiving day w h en the Pioneers gave their thanks to God by inv iting the Indians to a huge fea st, Thanksgiving has been symbolized by feasts. Be cau se the pilgrim father t r eked into the forest to kill the turkey, we continue to feast u p on this traditional fowl. In the days of gran dmother and grandfather, everyone arose early in the frosty m orning a nd the prep ar ations for the feas t b egari. The turkey was dress ed and put on to roast, the pumpkin pie was
made and the cranberry s au ce wa s pre pare·d . When the time for the fea st ar r ived, cousins, aunts, uncles, gra ndfather, grandmother, mother, father, brothers and sisters, all sat down not only to give thanks but to m ake merry. Today with e lectric roa sters, canned pumpkin and canned cranberry sa uce, the w inner is more easily prepared, and the rest of the day is spent making merry. Thanksgiving is so much a p art of American life that our government makes every effort to provide a turkey dinner with all the trimmings for our soldiers at the battle fronts, a nd in barracks all over the world. Yes, Thanksgiving day is truly symbolic of America. The hardships of the pioneer h a ve p assed, living is more plentiful, yet as a nation, we continue t o p a use one day to give thanks to our Creator for our many blessings,

Teachers Appreciate Kind Words More Than Gifts Christmas cheer and good-will towards other is often shown in schools at this time of the year. Pupils often feel that they should give gifts to their friends and very often this friend is their teacher. In Lincoln high though, there is a ruling made by the board of education saying that pupils cannot give gifts to teachers at Christmas or any other time of the year. One reason for this is to prevent collections from being made, for very often some cannot contribute and are embarrassed. Then there 'are those who give gifts individually. The person who cannot give a gift to his teacher sometimes feels hurt because he too cannot give to his special friend. If you must give something to your teacher, try giving a kind word or a kind deed. Everyone · can give these, and the teacher can return them when usually, with material things. it is impossible. Give your best and you'll receive the best in return. Kind Words! !
Basketball Season Gets Vigor Through Your Pep Now that basketball season is about to begin, we the students of Lincoln high shcu!d begil'! t e +hin k about s choo l supp01-t
for the team. The Peppers group is ·doing all it can to begin with, but if.>; all the students' support that counts. The Peppers can lead, but we must follow. We must all back up the team because we are more than a "pep" club. · So if everyone yells it will sound better to the fella's ears than if just the Peppers yell. (Although they can make a powerful lot of noise.)
Brave Men Will Live· After Horrors of War In Cleveland, Ohio, there is a hospital for returning service men.who are wounded. There is one section of the hospital for reaurning service men who are wounded. There is one section of the hospital where not many would be able to look and not shudder. This is the section where they keep the so-called "Basket Babies." The definition of this is simple enough. It means that this is where all men who have had all four limbs removed are kept in baskets much like all of us were kept in, when but babies. It is a pitiful sight. None of them are smiling. But then, for what could they smile? They are absolutely helpless. All the rest of their lives they must be waited on, hand and foot. Most of these victims are but mere boys· whose life is just starting. Or was just starting before this terrible thing happened. Their loved ones are told not to appear shocked when seeing them for the first time. This is more than most of them care to be brave about, however, and not many are able to walk out of there under their own power. Frances Roope, a senior, saw these boys while putting on a show for them. She went with a ·group of entertainers from her school. Her report gives some idea of the horrors of war and the unhappiness that is in a few homes this very day. Help shorten the war. BUY WAR BONDS!
Here ls a Proved Recipe for Friendship If a person could make a true recipe for others to follow in making friends. some of these traits would be listed: A mouthful of kind words A smile full of sunshine ·A heart. full of honesty and truth A mind chucked full of good Jnanners Mix all together and stir until smMth, and gaining friends will no longer be hard. Everyone has friends and everyone would like more, but have you ever noticed that one girl, let's call h er Mary, can have many friends, while another girl, June, has only a few. But also have you noticed that Mary always has a bright smile and a kind word, while June has only a frown. Yes indeed, a kind word and a bright smile can mean a great deal for any Jack or Jill and manners and a gooi personality add a lot to influencing friends.

Open Forum T o the E ditor of the A dvocate : There hav e been many lett ers to t he edito r du;'.ing the la~t year anj i his semester concerning grade!s, compl iments t o the faculty, and gripes about the school, bu t there has been no letter t 'J my knowl edge, concerning th':) ha lf-v;ay measure Li ncoln h igh contribu tes p~,per, tin cans, salvage, etc., in the r ecent w ar d rives. : :·ealize that th ere a re ma ny people who wi'.l gladly argue with me concerning Lincoln high's b eh a vior during these pat riotic drives, but nevertheles~ I still contend that Lincoln. h igh school can do more. Compared to ju nior high schools and grade sc:~ools, Lin coln high has made a dismal showing . . F .:ir inotance, during t he first salvage drive .ever co:iducted in Lincoln, L incoln h igh ca me in fourth ; while a neighbor ing junior high school only three - fourths t he size of L incoln high school came in . first, foll owed by gr ade schoo!s and L incoln high. I don't feel that there is anyone w ho would deliber ately lie down on the job when there is probably no one in Lincol n high school who does!1't ha ve a r elati ve in the service, but I do say that some constr uctive meas ures should be taken to increase L incoln high's patriotic drives showing. W hy couldn't there be smile meas ure to increase t he indtvidna:'s desire to do more ? Instead of having comp\tition between homerooms, where onl y a few people carry the load of the hom.e ~ room. have competi tions between individuals w ith some small prize fo1· the winner. This w oul<!i give greµ ter gl ory to the individua l in stead of the home-room where aJl the people in tine home-room get the credit for t he work a few people do. With a hope that Li ncoln hii; h wi:J do more in the coming patriotic collections or nri ves. Sincerely, G eorge 'i\-'ilcox. HR. 217

Citizenship lnstructio11 Halls, Cafeteria Stressed l\lost In an all boys assembly Wednesday morning, H. C. Mardis, principal, addressed the boys on their citizenship ln school. He especially stressed that all boys finish high school before entering the service. "If you have any question about entering the service before you finish high school, I s uggest you stop the next five serv icemen you see in the halls and ask t hem. Nine out of ten of them will more than likely tell you to finish school here," stated Mr. Mardis. in this respect Lincoln high school rates high in having boys finish befor e entering the service. In speaking of the attendance record for boys, Mr. Mardis expressed his surprise in finding from the records that the boys' at tendance rates higher than the girls'. There are more gir ls than boys who have quit school to hold down town jobs. This is also one ot the unexpected things because it is the general trend that the boys are the ones who quit school to get the big paying jobs down town. Mr . Mardis said he was very pleased with this but that citizenship was slipping and it mu£t be checked or the school will have to lay down laws of conduct and h ave teachers see that they are enforced. Referring to the cafeteria he said that any high school boy should have enough sense to conduct himself like a &entleman when eating in public. Conduct in the hall also must be improv ed. "Smoking o_n t he school gro unds is against the board of education rules."

Besides Slogr, the other four returning letterman are two guar(ls, Bruce Voyer and Steve Fustgarden, and two forwards, Joe Frank and Jim Moore. The Links probable starting line up will be Bruce Berquist and Bob Bartlett at the guards, Bob Olmstead at center, and Gayle Lebsack ;md Bill Browne at the forwards . . The Hed and Black also have four other games before Jarmary 10, playing Grand Islan d Sa turday night at Whit tier, two g:imes with Scottsbluff at Scot:s blutf over the holidays, December 19 and 20 , and again at home January 5 against the Hadings Tigers. Little is known of Grand Island's basketball prospects at p resent. Last year the Links beat the Islanders by a 43 to 33 count. Scottsbluff, who the Red and Black arc playing for the first time, have four returning lettermen back from last year's squad, which went to the semi-finals in the state tournament before being put out. Scottsbluff has always had about the best basketball squads in t he western part of the state and should give the Links · plenty of stiff opposition. The Hastings Tigers, who have always b een stiff foes for the Red and Black, should again give the Links a good battle. Last year Lincoln b eat the Tigers 32-27. The only game of these five which will be a Missouri Valley contest is the one Friday night against Omaha Central.

Bill is a good ball handler and has a very good eye for the basket. Boney Hoffman, the other retu rning letterman from last year's sq uad, is also a very fine ball player. Boney has plerity of speed and .fight and also, like the other two boys, a fine shot. Boys up from the r eserves rounding out the forward positions are Ray Aguirre, Virgil Rcigert an d Guy Dean.

Among the all-state gridders picked in a poll taken by the Omaha World Herald was Archie Kirkendall, 5 foot 11 inch, 165 pound Linc:oln_ end. In the Tech game Archie's passgrabbing ability turned the tide as he carrit-d the ball across the double stripe once and set up the pins for the Link's second tally, This was considered by the Omaha paper's poll to be " the finest pass receiving in Nebraska' s prep circles this year." "Kirk" also proved valuable in the rest of the Link's encounters as he proved to be an aggressive defensive man as well as an outstanding offensive player. Receiving honorable mention were two Lincoln gridders, Dan Hergert, center, and Alex Fink, back. Dan was one of the outstanding linebackers of the year and stopped many enemy aerials. In the Omaha Cen tral game· "Big Red" picked off an opponent's pass and ra~ed 81 yards down the sideline, scoring a touchdown and turning the tide of the game. Alex, a triple-threat back, proved to be the Red and Black ' s scoring punch as he tied Bill Betz's record of 61 points.

N Club Award
Star Is Former Links In a recent column by Jack Cuddy, professional sports writer, the highlights of the 1944 college football season were reviewed. Listed as the "biggest upset" of the year was North Carolina Preflight's 21-14 victory over the powerful Navy team from Annapolis. This should be of particular in terest to Lincoln .high students, since Jot Partington , '39, who played the first part of the season with the Cloudbusters, was one of the main reasons for the l\'lirldie defeat. Partington, taking advantage of a new fumble rule adopted by the East, which provides that either team may advance with a recovered fumble, ran 45 yards for a touchdown, which provided the winning margin.

Red and Black Lead at Half By 16-6 Score Lincoln high's Red and Black cagers opened their 1944-45 basketball season Friday night, December 8, with a 28-18 victory over the Nebraska City Pioneer$ at Nebraska City. The Link cagers controlled the ball most of the game due to the height advantage which they ' held over the Pioneers. When N.e braska City did have the ball the players were quite often forced to shoot from a consider• able d istance out. Gayle Lebsack, only returning man from last year's Red and Black starting five, led the scorers for the evening by putting in 13 points which included six :field• ers and a free throw. Wedle, cen• . ter for the Pioneers, was second high for the evening with 9 :points. Lincoln started off fast in the game piling up 9 points to lead 9-2 at the end of the opening quarter. The Links continued to dominate the scoring in the ~econd period and left the floor at the half on the long end of a 16-6 score. In the third quarter, the Nebraska City lads seemed to have found their basket eyes as they out scored the Red and Black 9-6. The period ended with Lin• coln still leading by a 22-15 margin. The Links came back in the final peri od to put in three quick baskets while holding the Pioneers to three points to" clinch their opening game. The summary: Lincoln Lebsack f Aguirrt~

Former Linhs Often Thinks Of Lincoln, Suggest Changes Because
there
was
plenty of
time for thinking a nd talkiug on an island in the Netherlands East Indies, Lt. .John R. Sandberg a n d Pfc. Fra'nk l\II. Hallgren, Fifth Air Force, both graduates of Lincoln high schrool, frequently centered th eir thoughts on this city. They found it not difficult to remember Lin coln as it is now and to think of how they would like it to be. T hey said t hey laid no claim for originality. As to w h at should be done to improve the beauty of the capitol, the heart of .Lincoln and Ne:. braska, a few of their suggestions were : the clearing and landsc;iping of at least two square bJocks adjacent on the north; improvement and completion the present buildings and grounds, including murals, statuary and courtyard fountains. Some suggested improvements <'S to Antelope park were : to rerou te the Rock Island main line
and to extend the length of the park from 0 street to Sheridan with one continuous memorial boulevard. In regard to Lincoln high they thought that the present inade• quate athletic facilities should be enlar ged so as to . meet the increasing emphasis on physical training. In closing Lt. Sandberg and Pfc. Hallgren remarked that they be• lieved these ideas were in Lin • coln's tradition of progress because Lincoln already possesses very real advantages, and the suggested program was not a relief measure, but may well· be considered i n a postwar public work p rogram and thus .broaden the city's economy. It would be of proven value, they think, for Nebraska which is now known as the "White Spot of the Nation" t o have the capitol ci ty I?ecome a "Washington of the West."

Thomas Curran, United Press General Manager In South America, Gives Opinions, Impressions Thomas R. Curran, '20, general manager of the United Press in South America, recently described in a letter to Miss Sarah T. Muir, his impressions of the L atin American opinions of the election, the problem of n ews distribution in the countries to the south and the political situation in Argentina. "The r equest of Ar gentina for a conference to consider her status was considered an able diplomatic gesture. It looks now, however, as though the conference, if held, will deal first with post-war problems and later · with Argentina. The democratic Argentines h ope the conference won't be held b ecause they are eager to see accelerated the return of the military to their barracks and they f ear such a conference might serve to perpetuate the present arrangement," writes Mr. Curran. . Studying both Spanish and P ortugu ese and finding both languages interesting, Mr. Curran expects to speak both of them in another couple of years, although he does passably well in both right
now . He r egre ts not taking L a tin in high school becau se he enjoyed it so much in university under P rofessor Sanford and b elieves his present interest ' in Spanish and Portuguese stems from that. One of the large problems in news distribution is that "only transmission of the spoken word is permitted over lines n ot owned b y the various g overnments." Therefore when a story " breaks" the reporte rs have to m a ke seprate long distance calls to the various cities of the interior and "readers in individual booths rattle off news in S panish in the best Floyd Gibbons velocity. At the other end it is copied on discs and decelerated for copying from Ediphone or Dictaphone machines," l aments Mr. Curran. In his letter Mr. Curran mentions h aving seen Cordell Hull in Washington and that he is taking Mr. Hull's advice to "Try to visit the lake country," by taking Mrs: Curran and the twins, Connie and James, to the Argentine lake region to a resort by the n ame of

One can n ever feel carefree and familiar w ith those mountain s, however, and invariably, I understand the emotion of the Baby A irplane in Walt Disney's 'Saludos Amigos'. The flight is always an impressive experience because five of the p eaks are mor e than 22,000 feet high, topped off by Mount Aconcagua, (th e highest anywhere in th e western hemisphere.) with 23 ,000 feet p lus. Fa r above the timber lin e, you see a mass of granite with only white snow fields and glaciers to furnish contrast," continues the letter. While in Chile, Mr . Curran m ade a trip 360 miles sou th of Santiag0 t o Concepion, which is the larg~st city in southern Chili; also on this t rip he visited Valparaiso, which r eminded him of San Francisco and Vina del Mar, a big summer r esort of Chile.

Freedom of the Press In the ·New World Peace f1''irst prize of $J,OOO in war bond s iu the Lincoln Sunda,y .Journal and Star Sixth w a r loan contest.)
By Robert C. Pfeiler. The United Nations are engaged in .a life-anddeath struggle to bring about a world in which a ll men are free, and in w hich all n ations are at p eace. Unless a peace is made which includes the freedom of the press, the objectives of this war will be lost. The press is the n1eans of "representin;: the unrepresented." The voice of thm;e in the minority and o.f those who are down-trodden can be h eard only through a free press. We are all familiar with the fact that dictators get into power and remain there through the control of public opinion. Goebbels d ictating the day's news at a morning press c.onference represents the high water mark of controlled opinion. The people of these dictatorships h<ffe been presented with this type of news which is distoried and often has no basis in fact. They and the rest of the world have suffered terribly and will contilrne to do so until the "slough of ignorance" is cle <med up. In the countries occupied by the nazis, people have endured torture and death m order to print the true facts. In France, in spiie ol the Gestapo, newspapers and books were published whKh ultimately played an irnport<int part in the liberation of Paris. We learn from J an Karsld's book, "Story of a Secret State," how the Polish people learned of the true situation even under Germ an rule. In Bucharest, Rumani<J., recently freed from nazi control, the number of newspapers h as in~··,-, 8 <.,rl. t.0 20. ten more than they had prevwus to the vva r. Con:espondents ~ ay t i:_c ~~:::Y '.~:: ··~: :'. '. ·': ikn•~,, t n~wspapers is now insatiable. This proves ihdl peopie thi'l'SL f ur the: trt:tI-.. It will be the responsibility of the Uniten States and the other United Nations to sec that freedom of the press is established .in the peace plan and preserved. This will not be easy. Many peopl_e will have lost confidence in their government. C1v1l war has been raging in Greece, and threatens in Italy, Belgium and France, and m ay break out in other countries at any time. Nothing \Vill do more to rebuild the contidence oi the people in themselves and in their government than freedom of expression. Since the United States has long been known as the citadel ·of democracy, suppressed peoples will expect us to. take the lead in sponsoring its principles. Suppression of the press makes people suspicious that something is being "put over" on them. The function s of a free press are to inform the people about the facts, and to stimulate constructive criticism about governments and existing conditions. A free press also educates the people in the principles of de mocracy by promoting free and open discussions of prob lem s. People kept in ignorance and given only one side of an issue tend to lose their sense of discrimin ation and become less able to decide a· question on its merits. An indirect cause of war is false or incomplete . presenta tion of inte rrn•tiona l news. During the peace conference after the las t war the people were not kept completely informed oi the proceedmgs at the peace table. At the corning- peace con fe r en~e ·the representatives should lrnow the peoples wishes and the people must b e kept up to date on all questions and actions of foe conference. This can be done only through a free press. Without knowledge of facts, and with co".fusion and suspicion within and between nations, fear of the uncertain · and the unknown leads to distrust, hatred, and eventually to war. H countries are we.11 informed of conditions withm their own borders and throughout the rest of the world, the~·e 1s no problem which could not be settled peacefully. by arbitration. Men are ma de free by truth, and freedom of truth makes permanence of oeace. Thus two things are t.o be done. First is to see that freedom of the press is a p ar t of the peace plan of the world, and the second to make sure that this freedom is preserved everywhere. All countries must co-operate in a chie vin,+; these ends. But what are the concrete steps to be taken? There should be no governmental or monopolistic control of the press . lt must not be under the thumbs of certain indi vidu als or in terests. Great news cartels must be broken up. They sh ould no longer stand in such a position as to_ control t he news. News organs m ust be free to prmt the .facts. There should be n o censoring of the news or mformation in peace years, unless it is proved .to be scandalous or fraudulent. The sou rce oi all mformation should be known and given in order to check rumors and propaganda which either intentionally or u nintentionally would thrnw tear or hatred into the people. There should be a free and unlimited exchange of n ews in all countries, and the foreign correspondents should h~ve the right to send any news without being restncted or censor.e d. Throughout every country all reporters should have an ·equ3l chance to search for, to gain access to, and to transmit news at equal and reasonable rates. To gunrantee these fundamental conditions a strong internation al organization should be created with the power to enforce this plan. The Associ<ited Press under the management of . Kent Cooper, and the tnited Press are l ead ing- the way toward a free international press. _A word of praise should be given to these orgam za t10n s, as well as .to the American Society of Newspaper Editors , for the m anner in which they have set the example and h ave launched the program of preparing the world for freedom of information in the coming world peace. That. the men and wome n \Yho nic in thi>' war shall not ha ve died in v;iin ,,.e must hciv e " Jr re pres,, w hich is 111d1>pPnsable i l we are to a chieve a just <md la,; tmg peace,

After a thoughtful consideration of the rules of this school I have found several matters which I consider to need immediate change. There is for example the dreadful necessity of arising in the midtlle of the night in order to get to school on time ( ?) It's bad enough to have to come to school but growing young people need their sleep. Suppose some morning your miner's lamp won't work. Can you find your way to school in the dark? Especially with your eyes shut. (If you can don't try so hard.) No one gets to school on time anyway. The next matter which I consider very important is the matter of grade slips. These little four-page affairs, somewhat on the order of the old autograph book, are not only a waste of valuable war material but also a source of beatings and a pain forever. There are several ways of returning grade slips without letting par~nts see them, but this is dishonest and besides I have a patent on them.

Richard Putney Regards News
Evelyn Jackson Tells On The Spot Story of Pearl Harbor Attack Dec. 7
Pride in the "Best Service Newspaper in the World," the Drew Field, Florida, Echoes--was expressed in thP editorial "Happy Birthday to Us" which was enclosed in a letter to Miss Sarah T. Muir from Pfc. Richard Putn ey, '39. The article told that the· paper was just one year old when it received word of the recognition in a competition in which other newspapers of the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Marine Corps and Seabees from virtually every state in the union and from Italy, England, North Africa, Kiska, Alaska, Solomon Islands, New Guinea, Burma and Australia were entered. In his letter Dick told of one of the interesting features of the paper, the want ad section. He said, "This service is free to any member of the post. The idea got off to a slow start, many of the advertisements in. the first five issues being submitted by the Echoes staff, but now it is used and read by everyone of the post and is recognized as a real service to the soldiers."

Hunting Semon 'Ry :RO'R PACKARD.
Remember when you were asked to m·ake a contribution of clothing to the Russian War Relief? The clothing was picked ·up, Monday, November 20, and all the next week committee mem· bers were busy sorting, and making the usable clothing up into bundles-little ones, big ones, tall ones, and . short ones, full to ·the brim with dresses, coats and shoes . Sunday, November 27, all these packages were labeled, different colors for different articles of clothing. . They were shipped over the Union Pacific· railroad to Portland, Oregon, and from there, loaded on ships which will reach Russia during the middle of the winter when those outgrown coats, mittens and shoes will be most welcome. George Wilcox, a junior, helped in labeling the packages.

Mrs. Stanley M. Capps tells of Her Musical Career--Frankie Carle Favorite Pianist Although she did not attempt to master the piano until she had reached the age of 29, Mrs. Stanley M. Capps, of Lincoln, is today an outstanding pianist, and teaches a modern piano system, originated by her husband 25 years ago, which has spread throughout the country. In a recent interview Mrs. Capps told how the desire that her son might learn to play the piano was the main reason she took it up herself. "I felt that my hushand was too busy," added Mrs. Capps, "so I picked up most of it by myself with a little aid from my husband, so that when the time came I could teach Stanley, Jr:' Stanley, as many will remember, gained prominence for himself at the keyboard several years ago in Joy Night and in local amateur contests. "I preler the mode.r n music to the strictly classical," stated Mrs. Capps. "It's the American trend in music. It's the type that the younger generation likes because it ca rries a particular melody and rhy1hm. Furthermore it is very interesting to t each since we work entirely in harmony. A pupil becomes chord-minded, and learns
to improvise, thus developing his own particul a r style." "Boogie-Woogie is one of the hardest kinds of music to play, if it is played right. It takes hours of practice and a strong left hand. One reason colored people are unusually good at 'boogie'," continued the small dark-haired pianist, "is that they have perfect rhythm. And after all," she queried, "boogie-woogie is strictly rhythm, isn 't it'!" Mrs. Capps commented that a strong left hand plus large hands, with which to reach the chords, give a decided advantage to boys. Another advantage · is that boys have a heavier touch than girls. With reference to the age at which a pupil should begin the study of the piano, Mrs. Capps said that a child sho~ld be allowed to start as soon as any interest towards the piano is shown, which is usually at about the age of five. In order to understand the fundamentals of harmony, however, a pupil · should be about 9 or 10 years old. Frankie Carle is her favorite professional pianist bl .:a use of his distinct and original style. She also expressed a liking for the late "Fats" Waller, Freddy Wilson, and for Hazel Scott, because of ~er
supreme showmanship. While idly twisting a pencil between her fingers, the attractive pianist decided upon Tommy Dorsey as her favorite band _ for something "hot," and Mark Warnow for something "sweet." "Styles in music change so rapidly," declared Mrs. Capps, "that five years from now, much of the style used today will be obsolete. More fill-ins, runs, and especially close harmony are a few things which have been brought in within the last few years." Mrs. Capps told also how the printing of the chord names above the bars of music in most sheet music is believed to be the result of the Capps method of teaching,
"Years ago,'
1
she stated, "we
had to ana_lyze the chords, ourselves, and write them in, which was long before they ever began to appear on the sheet music." Mrs. Capps ended the interview by saying, "Musicians are the envied artists of all arts. A pianist is the envy of other musicians for nothing gives more entertainment to oneself or others. At home or at parties, in dance orchestras, broadcasting, recording and movie stndios, this instrument is the center from which all musical life originates."

Freedom of the Press In the New Jf' orld Peace (First prize of Sl ,000 in war bonds in the Lincoln Sunday Journal and Star Sixth war loan contf'-s t.)
By Robert C. Pfeiler.
The United Nations are engaged in a life - anddeath struggle to bring about a world in which all men are free, ;rnd in which all nations ;;re at peace. Unless a peace i s made which includes the freedom of the press, the objectives of this wa1· will be lost. The press is the means at "representi ll~ the unrepresented." The voice of those in the minority and nt those who are do wn-trodden can be heard only through a free press. We are all familiar with the fact that dictators get into power and remain there through the control of public opmion. Go~bbels dictating the day's news at a morning press conference represents t he high water rriark of controlled opinion. The people of these dictatorships have been pre~cnted with this type of news \vhich is distorted :md often. has no basis in tact. They and the rest oi tile world have suifered terribly and will cominue to do so until the "slough of ignorance" is cleaned up. In the countries occupied by the nazi::;, people have endured torture and death m order io print the true facts. In France, in spite of the Gestapo, newspapers and books were published which ultimately played an important part in the liberation of Paris. We learn from Jan Karski's book, "Story of a Secret State," how the Polish people learned of the true situation even under German rule. In Bucharest, Rumania, recently freed from nazi control, the number of newspapers .has in~•:e 8 ~~fl. tn 20, ten more than they had prevwus to the '>.-·ar. CorJ:espundents ~<1Y ti10 .::..::::1:·.r::.c~ ~:'..~~. iic·r: , ·:'t !'.'.?wspapers is now insatiable, '.f~.i o; rrnves thu.L peup~e th i::~.;i, J en · ·:·.h e : t'l'l~)~~ lt will be the responsibility of i.he United Slates
and the other United Nations to see that freedom of the press is established in the peace plan and preserved. This will not be _easy. Many pe~pl.e will have lost confidence in their government. Civil war has been raging in Greece, and threatens in Italy, Belgium and France, and may break out in other countries at any time. Nothing will do more to rebuild the confidence of the people in themselves and in their government than freedom of expression. Since the United States has long been known as the citadel of democracy, suppressed peopl!;!S will expect us to take the lead in sponsoring its principles. Suppression of the press makes people suspicious that something is being "put over" on them. The functions of a free press are to inform the people about the facts, and to stimulate constructive criticism about governments and existing conditions. A free press also educates the people in the principles of democracy by promoting free and open discussions of problems. People kept in ignorance and given only one ~ide of an iss ue tend to lose their sense of discrimination <1nd become less able to decide a· question on its merits. An indirect cause of war is false or incomplete presentation of intern2_tional news. During the peace conference after the last war the people were not kept completely informed of the proceedings at the peace table. At the coming peace conferenc.e the representatives should know the peoples wishes and the people must be kept u p to dale on all questions and action s of .t he conferen ce. This can be done only through a fr ee press. . Without knowledge of facts, and with confusiol'. and suspicion within and between nat10ns, fear ot the uncertain · and the unknown leads to distrust, hatred and eventually lo war. If countries are well inform'ed of conditions within their ow n borders and throughout the rest of the world, there Js no problem which could not be settled peacefully by arbitration. Men are made free by tl'uth, and freedom of truth makes permanence of o eace. Thus two things are to be done. F.ir st is to see that freedom of the press is a part of the peace plan of the world, and the second to make sure that this freedom is preserved everywhere. All countries must co-operate in al:hievir~ these ends. But what are the concrete steps to be taken? There should be no governmental or monopohshc · control of the press. lt must not be under the thumbs of certain individuals or interests. Great n ews cartels must be broken up. They should no longer stand in such a position as to. control the news. News organs must be free to pnnt the .facts. There should be no censoring of the news or m formation in peace years, unless it is proved .to be scandalous or fraudulent. The source of all mfor m ation should be known and given in order to check rumors and propaganda which either inten tionally or unintentionally would throw fear or h atred into the people. There should be a free and unlimited exchange of news in all countries, and the foreign correspondent~ should have the right to send any news without being restricted or censor.e d. Throughout every country all reporters should have an eqmil chance to search for, to gam access to, and to transmit news at equal and r ea sonable rates. To guarantee these fun damental conditions a strong international organization should be created with the power to enforce this plan. The Associated Press, under the management of · Kent Cooper, and the United Press are leading the way toward a free international press. A wm·d of praise should be given to these organizations, as well as to the American Society of Newspaper Editors. for the manner in which they have set the example and have launched· the program of preparing the world for freedom of information in the coming world peace. That the men and women who nic in this war sh ~ll not ha\'e died in va in we must h<ive a fr<'e press, which is indispe11s<:1ble if we are to ach ic1·e a just and la~ting peace.

After a thoughtful consideration of the rules of this school I have found several matters which I consider to need immediate change. There is for example the dreadful necessity of arising in the midtlle of the night in order to get to school on time ( ? ) It's bad enough to have to come to school but growing young people need their sleep. Suppose some morning your miner's lamp won't work. Can you find your way to school in the dark? Especially with your eyes shut. (If you can don't try so hard.) No one _gets to school on time anyway. The next matter which I consider very important is the matter of grade slips. These little four-page affairs, somewhat on the order of the old autograph book, are not only a waste of valuable war material but also a source of beatings and a pain forever. There are several ways of returning grade slips without letting par~nts see them, but this is dishonest and besides I have a patent on them.

Evelyn Jackson Tells On The Spot Story of Pearl Harbor Attack Dec. 7
Pride in the "Best Service Newspaper in the World," the Drew Field, Florida, Echoes-was expressed in the editorial "Happy Birthday to Us" which was enclosed in a letter to Miss Sarah T . Muir from Pfc. Richard Putney, '39. The article told that the· paper was just one year old when it received word of the recognition in a competition in which other newspapers of the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Marine Corps and Seabees from virtually every state in the union and from Italy, England, North Africa, Kiska, Alaska , Solomon Islands, New Guinea, Burma and Australia were entered. In his letter Dick told of one of the interesting features of the paper, the \Vant ad section. He said, "This service is free to any m ember of the post. The idea got off to a sfow start, many of the advertisements in the first five issues being submitted by the Echoes staff, but now it is used and read by everyone of the post and is recognized as a real service to the soldiers."
"Having bullets hit the house you were in 30 feet from you and a bomb exploding about a block away from you is a bit close," Evelyn Jackson, junior, commented about the attack on Pearl Harbor. She continued by saying, "We were home getting ready for Sunday school at 7:55 a. m. when the Japanese planes came overhead, My father was at Schofield playing golf with Marine officers stationed at Mooring Mast about one mile away. The planes came over the golf course heading for Wheeler field and strafed the course. My father ducked behind trees and escaped unharmed. When he was driving home to Eiva, Oahu, he had to go around several bomb craters. Wheeler Air Field was struck many times. He took the Marines to their post and then went to his station." In the meantime, the girls didn't know what was happening: They ran across to the neighbors while planes were overhead. About noon they were allowed to go outside. It was a beautiful sunny day, but to the northeast was the ugly smoke from the burning ships in Pearl Harbor. "During that firsf night we didn't get much sleep as we were startled by loud explosions from one of the burning ships when it blew up," stated Evelyn. Evelyn and her sister left Hawaii on January 12, 1942, after being aboard ship for two hot days, waiting in the harbor. They

In Hawaii, Evelyn attended an army school for five years at Luke Field on Ford Island in Pearl Harbor, a public school for one year in Honolulu and for one and one-half years she attended an army school at Schofield Barracks, which was then the largest military camp in the United States. When asked about the welcome given people arriving in Hawaii Evelyn replied, "Friends place leis of flowers about your necks and the Royal Hawaiian band plays 'Aloha Oe' and other · Hawaiian tunes." Evelyn's father is still in Hawaii. He is a chemist on one of the large sugar plantations which has a population of 3,570. Sugar rates first among the main industries and pineapple is second. Evelyn speaking about the climate said, "On the Island of Hawaii you can sit on semi-tropical beaches and see snow covered tops of volcanoes in the distance.'l She said, "Sports 'in Hawaii are almost the same as ours, like swimming, baseball, polo, football and some bare-foot football." In concluding Evelyn declared, "We are planning to go . back to Hawaii · as soon as possible as that is our home.''

Mrs. Stanley M. Capps tells of Her Musical Career--Frankie Carle Favorite Pianist Al though she did not attempt to m aster the piano until she had reached the age of 29, Mrs. Stan ley M.

In a recent interview Mrs. Capps told how the desire that h er son might learn to play the piano was the main reason she took it up herself. "I felt that my husband wa s too busy," added Mrs. Capps, "so I picked up rriost of it by myself with a little aid from my husband, so that when the time came I could teach Stanley, Jr:• Stanley, as many will remember, gained prominence for himself at the keyboard several years ago in Joy Night and in local amatevr contests. "I preler the modern music to the strictly classical," stated Mrs. Capps. "It's the American trend in music. It's the type that the younger generation likes because it carries a particular melody and rhy1·hm. Furthermore it is very interesting to teach since we work entirely in h armony. A pupil be comes chord-minded, and learns
to improvise, thus developing his own particular style." "Boogie-Woogie is one of the hardest kinds of music to play, if it is played right. It takes hours of practice and a strong left hand. One reason colored people are unusually good at 'boogie'," continued the small dark-haired pianist, "is that they have perfect rhythm. And after all," she queried, "boogie-woogie is strictly rhythm, isn't it'!" Mrs. Capps commented that a strong left hand plus large hands, with which to re.a ch the chords, give a decided advantage to boys. Another advantage · is that boys have a heavier touch than girls. With reference to the age at which a pupil should begin the study of the · piano, Mrs. Capps said that a child should be allowed to start as soon as any interest towards the piano is shown, which is usually at about the age of five. Jn order to understand the fundamentals of harmony, however, a pupil should be about 9 or 10 years old. Frankie Carle is her favorite professional pianist bt.:ause of his distinct and original style. She also expressed a liking for the l ate ' 'Fats" Waller, Freddy Wilson, and for H azel Scott, bcrause of !:ler
supreme showmanship. While idly twisting a pencil between her fingers, the attractive pianist decided .upon Tommy Dorsey as her favorite band_ for something "hot," and Mark Warnow for something "sweet." "Styles in music change so rapidly," declared Mrs. Capps, "that five years from now, much of the style used today will be obsolete. More fill-ins, runs, and especially close harmony are a few things which have been brought in within the last few years." Mrs. Capps told also how the printing of the chord names above the bars of music in most sheet music is believed to be the result of the Capps method of teaching, "Years ago," she stated, "we had to analyze the chords, ourselves, and· write them in, which was long before they ever began to appear on the sheet music.'' Mrs. Capps ended the interview by saying, "Musicians are the envied artists of all arts. A pianist is the envy of other musicians for nothing gives more entertainment to oneself or others. At home or at parties, in dance orchestras, broadcasting, recording and movie studios, this instrument is the center from which all musical life originates."
Between the Book Ends If you are looking for a book that te~ls exactly what a cowboy does from the moment his journey starts, read "The Log. of a Cow• boy" by Andy Adams. It tells of round-ups, fighting raiders and catching rustlers in frontier life. "Cow By the Tail" is a story about the author, Jesse James Benton, and his trip to Texas from the hills of Kentucky. 1;3en• ton left Kentucky at an early age with his parents and 36 other men, women, and children. In 1872, his family settled in Denton County, and built a ten-by-twenty cabin, room enough for twelve, not counting dogs, with a porthole for Betsy, the shotgun. Jesse wanted the cowboy's life so at 13 he joined an outfit. He lived with the friendly Comanche Indians for awhile.

Today m any high school boys nearing their eight eenth bir thd ay are asking the q uestion, "Wha t does service in the U . S. Merchant Marine offe r m e?" I n an attemp t t o sa tisfy t hese queries the Wa r Shipping Admi nistration r ecently complied a lis t of seven a dvantages to enrollment in the Merchant Marine Service.

Links Chalk Up Two
L. H. S. Slips By Tigers In Battle
Successive Victories Over The Week-En·d Red And Black Crush Central In 23-20 Edge A victorious c 1 a s h w i t h Omaha Central ended in a 23-20 score December 15 for the Red and Black's first Missouri Valley conference win. The Links were put in the lead by a free throw from Bob Bartlett followed by a long side shot from Gayle Lebsack. This lead was broken only once, and then for only a short time. The tough Eagle defense tightened and held Lincoln back while making a couple of free throws for a 3-2 score at the end of the first quarter. Bob Hubbell gathered a point on a foul shot and Al Bergquist pocketed a long fielder and a free throw, giving Lincoln a 7-6 lead at the half. Frank · Slogr, high point man of the evening with 13 points, dropped in a pair to be the only scorer for the Omahans in the second quarter. In the second half the Links pocketed three points before losing the lead to the Eagles who dropped a field goal and three free shots, making a score of 1110. The no.,;., trailing Links got into m ·a v e m e n t as Lebsack dropped in two fielders as the third quarter ended with Lincoln holding an advantage in a 14-11 ecore. In the last quarter, Bergquist with two tallies and Lebsack together poured in the three field goals to make the highest margin in the game, 20-11. The Central boys were brought into view again as they added a fielder and a pair of free tosses. Bob Olmstead placed a free throw in the basket as the Eagle's high point man gave them three more points. Corey Wright, C";entra l forwnrd, dribbled the length of the floor to scor e. Bob Bartlett scored two free tosses ending the game with a 23-20 score. Lebsack, Bergquist and Bartlett won the top honors for Lincoln with nine, seven and five points respectively.

In the first half, Mariscal made 9 out of 10 shots, about all of them being long fielders. Randell Rankin, reserves other forward, put in 10 points to take second high in the scoring column. RESERVES VS. JUNIATA. Winning 37 to 17, the Lincoln reserves opened their cage season at tr.~ Whittier gym Friday night, iJecember 15.

Athletics to Have Brighter Future "High school athletics will have an even brighter future after t he war," declared Walter D obbins, sports editor of the Lincoln Journal, in an interview at his home. George Sauer was the greatest all-around athlete e ver to w ear the Red and Black ot L. H . S., according to Dobbins. He stated that ,Howard Debus, Bernie Masterson, Marv Plock, Herman Rohrig and Sauer were the outstanding foot ballers. Don McArthur, "Beanie" Witte, and Rody Lamb led the basketbailers. Dobbins called the 1920 Lincoln high school basketball team, which consisted of Holland, Schapars, Sougy, Lamb and Lewellen, as the best in Links history. He terms the game with the 1920 team and Omaha Commerce (now Omaha Tech) for the state championship as the best he has ever witnessed. Playing for Commerce was Ike Mahoney, who is Dobbins choice for the greatest player to appear in a Nebraska tournament up to date. After winning tl:e championship, the Links closed an undefeated season with a victory over the Colorado state champions. Asked to name an all-time Links basketball team, the genial sports writer put Morrie Fisher and "Beanie" Witte at forwards, big Don McArthur filling th~ center spot, and Clarie Kimball and Rody Lamb at guards. Dobbins considers a need for junior high school coaches and athletic program plus the enlarging of the Lincoln h igh school athletic staff as two main improvements to be. made in the prep athletic program in Lincoln. "However with a large majority of coaches in the armed forces these progr ams cannot be carried through until the end of the war," added Dobbins. He believes that every physically fit boy should participate in athletics a t high school. A future compulsory athletic program is foreseen by Dobbins. At Lincoln high school Dobbins served as sports editor and editor of the Advocate in 1920 . However the paper was written after school, with no credit hours being given to the .staff members then. Serving as managing editor, at the same time Dobbins was sports editor, was Herbert Brownell. He is a New York lawyer and was campaign manager for Thomas E. Dewey in the last election. Upon his graduation from Lincoln high, Dobbins joined the staff of the Journal where he has remained ever since. T/Sgt. Ma.x L. Neiden, '41, has been awarded the distinguished flying . cross for "extraordinary achievements" while participating in attacks over Europe. Sgt. Neiden had participated in the D-Day invasion and in air raids along the French Riviera. When in Lincoln high, Max was a member of the Radiolinks. Both Max and his brother, Ed. Neiden, visited Lincoln high this September after returning from overseas duty.

Coaches Beechner, Weyand, Worrall, Pumphrey Have Produced Outstanding Athletic Teams Ralph Beechner, Lincoln high athletic director and head coach of football and track, has an amazing past record in his tenure as a coach of high school athletics. Beechner's coaching career began while he was a student at the University of Nebraska. In his last three years at school Beechner was an assistant in football to W. H. Browne, then Lincoln high school athletic head. After graduation in 1930 Beechner took over the reigns of head coach at Jackson high school, a former Lincoln school now combined with others as Northeast high school. Beechner remained at Jackson six years before succeeding Browne as head coach of basketball and football at Lincoln high. Beechner has just finished his eighth season as head football coach in which his teams have captured six out of eight possible state mythical football championships, and a like -number of Missouri Valley titles. The greatest
eleven ever assembled by Beechner was his 1938 champions who were undefeated in 11 starts. Of the great teams turned out, all have a marked characteristic of being power teams, composed of not one outstanding star, but eleven in which teamwork prevailed. Because of this many were the stars Beechner prepared for their coming c o 11 e g e football careers. Most of his former players enter the University of Nebraska and carry on the fine tradition of football in the state and nation. Beechner since coming, dropped the basketball coaching duties three years ago to Lyle Weyand but has assumed the coaching of the track and field i:quad the last five years, producing a number of state champions. Aside from coaching, Beechner takes care of a number of gymnasium classes a day and has the j ob of lining up suitable opponents for the Links teams. Through his efforts, Lincoln teams face the stiffest competition of any high
school in the state. Through h is a rrangements with outstate schools the Red and Black gridders and track and field teams travel to distant regions to compete with other prominent interstate high schools. Succeeding Beechner three years ago as basketball coach is L yle Weyand who has brought L incoln t wo out of three possible class A championships. Lyle also served as baseball coach one season . 0 t h e r Lincoln coaches ar e Charles Worrall, reserve football, basketball and Varsity baseball coach. Worrall's baseball team last season was one of the state's best, but was not able to demon strate its wares in an elimination tournament formerly held by the University of Nebraska t o determine the state champions by actual competition, not mythical det ermination. In golf and tennis Lincoln is led by Max Pumphrey, w h o in the last few years has led h is boys to numerous team and individual championships.

"A great schoolmaster said something very significant when he said there are certain conventions of society which must be observed," were the words of the Rev. H. P . Buxton, pastor of Trinity Methodist church, during the senior sermon on the text, "Except the Lord Build the House," at Tr inity Methodist church Sunday, January 14, at 11:00 o'clock. "We have caught, I think, something at least of the spirit' of Christ in our forefathers," the Rev. Mr. Buxton said . He said that Jesus k new that p ersuasion is the g reatest method of t eaching and winning peace, and that people are beginning to see now that in the end certain conventions · of society are the most important. Humility is one of these conventions. The Rev. Mr . Bux ton pointed out that a t the close of the w ar w e will have gr eat numbers of ships, a irplanes a nd vehicles. " I pra y that God w ill be with u s lest we become very proud," he said.

" Another convention is freedom of m an," he continued. "This morning when you awakened you did not stop to think what was involved in whether you cam e to this service or n ot," the ministe r said. He w ent on to explain that it is a m atter of the freedom of man. "Men a r e dying all over the world," he declared. "Surely w e as Amer icans should see to it that foese m en ha ve not died in v ain." Lela Darling was at the organ and the Trinity choir and junior choir took pa rt in the services.

Some Schools Question Christmas Carol Singing We sang Christmas carols in our school this year but some schools did not. In many New York schools there has been trouble over the singing of carols because some are saying that singing them is teaching religion in the schools. Even in a rural school out here in the state of Nebraska the teacher has forbidden them because of religion. Are we to miss the beautiful strains of the carols because some persons are accusing them of being religious? It is tradition that we sing carols. Surely no one could be narrow minded enough to forbid such a thing to Lincoln schools. For years we have all heard · the strains of "Silent Night" and "The First Noel" echoing through the halls after our beautiful Christmas assemblies. Are these to be taken away from us in the next few years? Hope that our schools will find no reason to eliminate them, for according to tradition, Christmas can never be Christmas, and no one can have the real Christmas spirit without the singing of carols.
Throwing Snowballs Often Causes Serious Damage Do you throw snowballs? Of course, everyone at one time or other has thrown a snowba.11 either in fun or in malicious attempt of damage or injury. Also, you have all been told it is dangerous to throw snowballs. No matter how much warning is given on the subject and no matter how careful you are someone usually gets hurt. The following is a good example of malicious attempt on property and person. This story was very small at the end of one of the lessnoticed pages of one of the city papers. Hurt by flying glass. "A snowball hurled by a youth Tuesday night, at a street car, shattered ue front glass, cutting the hand of Robert Eagleton, 810 South Eleventh. The incident occurred at Seventeenth and D, while the trolley was stopped." • The fact t hat the item was so small shows that not much emphasis is placed upon it by the city papers. The Advocate, a school paper, is more involved in youth affairs and therefore places more emphasis on it. The boy may not have been from Lincoln high and again he may have been. If you think you have to throw snowballs, just be careful where you throw them and where they land.
Why not Have Elimination Tournaments For Football? The football season has faded back into oblivion inasmuch as high schools are concerned, leaving behind many unsettled argum ents as to the powers of many a school's eleven and their respective state standings, as accorded them by leading sports writers, whose selections vary to some extent. In other states where similar situations arose, a system was set up whereby the state gridiron kings were put in classes according to attendance and then were determined by an elimination tourna ment similar to the basketball tournament sponsored by the University of Nebraska. "Why ca n't we do the same," is the clamoring of some of the more informed fans who know of the tournaments held in Texas and Oklahoma and recently adopted by Kansas high schools. Greatest drawback in the method being put into operation in N ebraska by the type of weather in late November and December. Those states adopting it have very little sub zero weather and only a few snow flurries, to permit them to operate successfully. Another plan or suggestion which should be considered is t he setting up of a system whereby stat e sport s writ er s would cast ballots t o det ermine a team's standing and cast ballots for four dif ferent classes of e leven man football and one six-man group of elite, not t he one lone class which usually excludes all the small schools, and when they are n amed bitterness is felt from t he larger schools with stiffer competition.

Have you ever given close thought to the reason why high school pupils are slightly round shouldered and have amazingly large ( ?) muscles in their arms? Having been an inmate of this famed insti· tution of L. H. S. for several years I would like to offer a well founded theory. Let us take for example the case of one student. Let us call him Herman Llmpbrain for now. Herman upon entering high school was an :i.verage boy, of average mentality, that is, average for grade school. After carrying home each night for one year, four books-a Latin, an algebra, an English and biology book, (these totaling twenty pounds in weight) Herman walked at a forty-five degree angle. After consideration of this case of which there are many similar, I am sure you will agree that something should be done to free the pupils of their burden. After all, pupils don't need to carry such heavy books home to not study out of. Students should be supplied either with . loose leaf textbooks so that the pages which are assigned for next day can be taken home separately and lost, or with phonograph records of the t eacher's voice. The records would preserve the pupil's eyesight and could easily be broken to give an excuse for not studying. Limpbrain is on the march.

Former Student Describes Sunsets As Only Pleasure in New Guinea
Between the Book ·Ends. By SIDRLEY ZIETTLOW. "And They Shall Walk," is the story of an Aust;~lian nurse who brought into the world a new and successful trea.tment for paralysis, written by the Australian nurse herself.
She shows not only the .
colorful side of life but also the darker s!de. The beauty of her country, Australia, her gay and lively homelife, her companions and friends find their place in the life of a back-bu.sh girl who grows up to be known the world over. After spending a life time t r y. ing to induce. the medical men of the w orld of her great discov'ery, s.he finally convinced them, and her. treatments ar e known all over the world now.
She has

'Get Education, Dont' Skip Out,' Advice in Letter
Study .of .Art Is Topic of Speech '.At Club Meeting Right now there is an opening for all kinds of art work according to Betty Brinkman, senior in the art department at the University of Nebraska. She told the art club, Monday, January 8, that the shortage of good artists is due to the war. Many well known artists are in the service or are doing only war work. "In my opinion," said Miss Brinkman, "if a student wants to take art after completing high school, he should not just take art alone, but attend the university, and take other subjects along with art. Then after completing university he can atte!ld art school and devote all his time to his &pecialty." Miss Brinkman, a former Lincoln high student, is planning to make commercial art a career. She did not decide to take art until she entered the university. She briefly outlined a few of the courses offered in the art department at the University of Nebraska, ·and showed examples of her work. Design and oil painting will give the· student a good idea of color relationship. Two semesters of composition are required. This course combines all of the knowledge learned in other courses: value ot line movement to express emotion, sha ding, and the blocking in of ·a figure on a completed sketch. Art history, from the study of earliest art to the very ne west modernistic art is taken in all eight semesters. In the artistic anatomy course the class is provided with ·a model three times a week. After com-
"Tell all the guys to get all the education they possib ly can and not to skip out on it," was a bit of advice offered by E. M. 2/ c Jack Kuchera, who knows froin experience as he states in a re-
pleting a sketch. a skeleton is blocked in, and then m;ide of wire . N ext clay muscles are put over this frame. In this w;iy th e stu-. dent has a model of the human body which he has made himself. Other courses are sculpturing, interior decorating, and fashion drawi ng and lettering. ·" There is an excellent opportunity for sculpturing," she stated, "with a good instructor from the Lincoln Army Air Base." After completing university, if one desires to take up art as a profession, he must first make up a portfolio, exhibiting examples of his work, and show it to advertising agencies, stating the type of work he is most interested in," she concluded. Officers elected for next semester are president, Shirley Seright; vice-president, Mary Alh:e Do~ek; secretary, Mary Helen M allory : and treasurer, Alice Babst.
Recent Jl isitor Co1npares Campio1i With L.l-1.S. Dave Doyle who visited Lincoln high recently, attends Campion School at "Prairie d u Chie, Wis. Campion is a famous Catholic boys s ch oo1. In comparing the hvo s chools D ave said, "The difference I notice most be tween the two schools is the female population at L. H. S. The only time we see a girl at Campion is when we have a d a nce. These 'dances are arranged by the student Conclave, a group of tw elve students, three from each class. Besides a rran ging dances this body has other duties similar to t he student council here.'' Modestly he stated he was a member of this organization. Dave related that the school has about 500 enrollment and tha t there are six buildings, including the gymnasium and chapel. ·when asked about the average day at Campion, Dave began t o look a little tired and drowsy. "We're awakened a t 6:00 a. m.
cent letter to 0. W. Hackman, assistant principal, from Hawaii, "for all students to r ead." Jack , being very fra nk in his letter," s tated that he and his t\VO best friends were "always skipping and such while in high school. n ot caring too much for educa1ion." "In June, '43, we decided to quit school and join the Na vy." Now he says, "Everyone of us are sorry we didn't finish high school but we' ve a ll .decided that just as soon as this war is over \ve frankly want to finish high school in good old L . H. S. and go on to university." English, mathematics and foreign language were the t hree subjects Jack m en tioned which would h elp the most. He al so said that train ing a nd briefing prcpara tory to entering into military service helps a lot. "I didn't have any and since I' ve seen my share of the war, I realize what a big help it would have been." His closing statement was, "It's pretty tough out there f acing what we have to face." Jack has a sister, Fredonna, who is now a sophomore in Lincoln h igh.

Scene at School by Georgann W ythen Greetings fellow students and all you who passed! First of all here's many thanks to all of you for your keen participation in our scrap paper drive. There·s another one soon, s o everyone of you begin saving now. A steady deal for some time now is that between Margaret Robertson and Sandy Schroeder. Nice going you two! Congratulations to the team for that victory over York 45 to 25 last Friday night. There was quite a large rooting section from L . H. · S. there too. A new steady deal seen in our halls is Frances Roope and Danny Hergert. Some what of a surprise, but a very nice one at that. Nancy Lawlor and Jerry Duncan have had quite a few dates together lately. What's the score you two? Um! Many boys are leaving for the Navy comes February 9th. Among these are Dale Hatch, Norval Em er y, Danny Hergert, .Jack Brown, Huck Egger and George Fagerberg. Lots of luck to ya' fellas! Francis Cristopher and Lou Laub (from Northeast) are going steady now. Spring is around the corner. Of cour~e the corner is a little ways down the hall; but it won't be long. We're all expecting many new romances come then. Anne Miles is kindling an old flame now that really never died out. · H ow about that, Anne! Here's lots of best wishes and all to the January seniors. There will be a High Spot party a week from this Friday, so see you there. Have a swell vacation and until next semester, I r e main yours truly, unquote.

You first st art out by putting practically y our whole w ar.drob e on a fter supper, including, of course, a bout fi ve pair s of st ockings. You then throw your sk ates over your shoulders, an d t his takes a lot .of looking as they w eren't w here you left them. Ah! y ou're finally ther e! After y ou sit down, get your shoes off, and the last pair of heavy stockings, then comes the big t ask of pulling on your ska tes, w hich seem to have shrunk . After t his is a ccomplished you tediou sly hobble to the edge of the p ond a rid start off. After a fe w falls, trying to sh ow off your ability to sk ate backw ards and finding that t h e ruts are h ard to m iss, you go thr uough t he same process of tak ing your skates off a nd start· homeward after a wonderful evening of skating.

Combined Efforts of Health Committee Bring N eiv Arrangement in Cafeteria The new Cafeteria arrangement is due to the combined efforts of Miss Ethel Murray, Miss Lucy Geiger and Ralph Beechner, of the faculty health committee, Mrs. Susan Holland in charge of all school cafeterias in Lincoln, Mrs. Hilda Kargo, who is in charge of the Lincoln high cafeteria, and the student health committee. Changing of the tables was principally to provide more room. This new arrangement of the tab'J.es in the cafeteria is not going to be the only change in the room. This group hopes to have more shelves and tables furnished for pupils in the last two lunch periods who carry books to the caieteria, They would like to
have the pupils use the center door of the cafeteria for an exit and the side doors for entrance. It is hoped that it may be possible . to put sound proofing boards in part of the cafeteria to prevent so much noise from penetrating into the halls, also new drapes. Miss Geiger says in regard to these changes, "Funds for the redecorating of the cafeteria have already been allowed in the budget and now it is a question of time and labor until it is begun." Miss Murray's morning hygiene classes helped to decorate and fill the flower vases that were placed in the center of each table.

To Continue Summaries Newscaster Chosen From Third Tryouts Held Last Thursday
Lincoln high school debaters annexed second place in the recent Wesleyan debate tournament, after being defeated by the tournament cbampionship Creighton Prep team on a split vote by the judges in the final match last week end. Ted Sorenson and Gordon Pauley carried the Links to the finals and Sorenson was acclaimed the second best individual debater. Ted also was awarded second place in the oratorical division and in extemporaneous speaking. Ted's achievement was the best of the tourney. No other entrant entered all three divisions. Omaha entrants captured top honors in nearly every event. Only one outstate entrant, gained recognition, a pupil from Beatrice high. The outstate schools were mostly entered in the two speaking matches.
FIVE CENTS
Other Lincoln debaters representing Lincoln were Harold McNabb and Dick Noble who won 2 and lost 4 and a combination of Kellogg-Wilson ·and FayetteWinslow debating on the affirmative for the C team and George Cobel and Harry Davis debating on the negative. When Miss Florence Jenkins, debate coach, was questioned as to her views, she stated, "I am not disappointed in the performance of the teams this season." Miss Jenkins stated further that the teams are doing fine. Although they have failed to win the :final crown in three major tournaments · enlered, they have captured two seconds. The competition comes rr;ainly from Omaha and· Council Bluffs high schools. The debaters have and deserve all the credit, as they do all the research and organize their own cases. In closing Miss Jenkins said, "I have been their only critic. I also feel that debating is an excellent way of developing mental agility and ~1i as important, as physical prowess. It is my hope that more people from Lincoln high will participate in debate in the future."

Student Opinion Poll To Be Taken "Institute of Student Opinion Poll," will hold another poll Wednesday, February 7, to be conducted in a cross section of the home rooms. Any other pupil wishing to use the ballot appearing in the Advocate should fill out and return it to 217. Boys and girls ballots will be tallied separately; however, the questions will be the same on both ballots. The first question will ask: "Wh_at objectives y.rould you like to have emphasized in your high school education?" and "Do you think that girls should plan a career other than homemaking?" Results of the poll, both local and national, will be announced in a later issue of the Advocate.
Next High Spot On February 2 Preparations for the :first High Spot of the semester to be held on Friday, February 2, are now being made by the central committee. Music will be furnished by Jim Phillips and his orchestra, and the playing of quiet games will take place in the cafeteria. Because an orchestra could not be obtained, the High Spot scheduled for January 26 was cancelled. In the future, however, records will be used when there is no other music obtainable.

1945 Outlook Is Promising; Many Things Before Vs New Ye1:1.r's day is gone, but the largest part of the new year is before u1;3. This new year holds many Interests for us as students and many New advantages. There will be plenty of big Events in this year of war and lots of :Tasks for us to do. We hope that Everybody will pitch in to help win this war and bring Enduring peace to the world, and that this peace must Never come to an end. Fighting for this peace Our boys and girls have suffered so we shouldn't gripe about the increased Rationing we will have. Let's all :Tighten our belts! You do your part, I'll do mine. From now on, let's all Increase our efforts so that Victory will come before the End of NINETEEN FORTY-FIVE.
Our Boys En joy Letters That Cheer Them Vp Every day we hear the words, "We want mail," "mail is what we want." Yet everyone of us knows some boy or girl in the service to whom we could write a few lines. "Oh, I don't have anything they'd be interested in hearing!" You'd be surprisedif they are from your school they are interested in hearing about the late5t football garue, basketball game, who is home on furlough, who's left for military ·service, and much, much more about you, your school and your outside activities. Just a few lines a day written as a diary and mailed once a week will make that service boy or girl happy and, at least while reading your letter, a little less homesick. Don't let your service friend's face fall because he received no mail at mail call. Take a few minutes today and write to those homesic~ people. You'll feel much better yourself if you do, and so will that soldier, sailor, Wave, Wac or other military personnel in.ember.
Joy Night in Near Future; Get Your Act Ready Noiv Looking ahead, Joy Night is seen in the future. It is one of the highlights of Lincoln high's activities. It is a sample of all of our school talent. Many of your friends will participate in the event, and all will get great enjoyment out of it. Joy Night is a night for fun, with never a dull moment. It isn't something new. It has been presented for about 21 years. Maybe your Mother or Dad took part in it. So get your act together now. Don't waste time and be the last one. Get your act in good shape, then bring the family for some good laughs.
'.A.re You Failing to Bring Your Share of Paper? "What's the matter, what's the matter with the students of L.H.S. ?" "They're all right." "Why then don't they perk up and get more scrap paper here in that next big drive?" The trouble with most of us is that we'd just as soon let the next person bring it all and lessen the burden on ourselves. Let's get down and really dig for that paper. Even if we have to poll the neighborhood for it. If all the students would co-operate, we could go over the top in the next big drive in February.

Recently nurse cadets, nurse's aids, and registered nurses were interviewed concerning their work and the opportunities offered in this work. 'If you want to take up nursing as a profession and receive pay while learning, join the Nurse Cadets," is the advice of Miss Elaine Pesek, a cadet at St. Elizabeth hospital. "The government gives a girl a wonderful opportunity,'' Miss Pesek explained, "as you receive free room and board, your clothes, which consist of a winter and summer u niform, and at the end of schooling you may keep all your textbooks to refer back to." "It is very easy to join the corps," she continued. "You have to be in t he upper third of your high school class, have at least three years of mathematics, science and history, have your parents consent, be okayed by your family physician, and pass intelligence tests." " Your training consists of three years," Miss Pesek continued. "The first two a nd a half years. are taken at the same hospital and then the last six months are spent either at a government hospital or at a civilian hospital.

Red Cro&S Day Dreama When I sit at the Red Cross And roll strips of gauze I always feel weary It's mostly because I! I were a Wac, or a Wave, or a Spar I would be on the move and traveling afar Through cold icy waters To Alaska and snow To see trappers for hides And sled dogs with Eskimos, Or perhaps to Hawaii . With palm trees and leis And native girls dancing While soft music plays. Maybe t o India with bronze skinned women in jewels Weird magicians' sidewalk markets and very few .schools Or sometimes in Egypt I think Of pyramids, date palms and maybe the sphinx Then across the Sahara With thirst, heat and sand Perhaps I'd see camels in a long caravan. Then over to France Where the water is wine But since I 'm not a Wac, a Wave, or a Spar I just sit and roll bandages And just wish I'm afar. MARCIA ADKISSON.
"The pay of a nurse cadet is $15 a month for the first year, $20 a month for the second year, and $30 a month for the · third year." Miss Hazel Hinds, superintend· ent of nurses at Lincoln General hospital, stated that cadet nurses have their choice of spending their last six months of training at an army or n avy ·hospital, and t hat three months of their training must be spent at a hospital for the mentally ill. "The shortage of nurses in many hospitals in the United States has not affected Lincoln General as much as the eastern and western hospitals. Lincoln General is re· placing student nurses on the floor at night instead of the ha· bitual practice of using all gradu· ate nurses. It is rat hel' hard when the students are in class as t here are very few . nurses on the floor at this time," stated Miss Hinds. "The uniform of a nurse aide is grey with white collar and sleeves, and is furnished by the hospital," said Miss Margret Jenks, a nurse aide at Lincoln General hospital. "One can wear her hair either in a net or short, just so it doesn't touch the collar," she added. She said that each girl has from four t o eight patients. "Some of our duties are to straighten the rooms and stay with the patients when they are coming out of the anesthetic," she explained.
'Students Have Broad Minds' Declares Amen '' Yn~:..:.; people· ~= -::. ·:t~~.:~ .t.a·.r':'. ~ broader m ind and a deeper knowledge as well as understanding of Christianity than in prior years," was the opinion of H. J. Amen, chairman of draft board No. 1, when questioned as to his opinion of the .average high school stu· dent's interest in religion. During his recent trip to Bos· ton, Mr. Amen as a member of the executive committee state c o n f e r e n c e of Congregational churches, attended a meeting at wh ich at least 400 students of different denominations were present. Observing these students so interested in religion as to take notes and 'sk intelligent questions, was a contributing fac• tor in helping Mr. Amen f orm his present opinion of them. Having many contacts with young men, as well as having reared four sons, two former L. H. S. students, Mr. Amen is well qualified to answer the questions, " Are you in favor of the present system of drafting 18-year-olds, and do you believe that the voting age should be lowered to 18 years?" To these questions Mr. Amen replied, "A boy of 18 years is a good student for military service, this fact having been proved by the army as a whole. Although a boy of 18 serves in the armed forces, this same boy has not fully matured in all his ideas and is therefore not capable of assuming the responsibility of voting." "Take advantage of your high school activities, as they are important in your future life as they are during your high school days," was the concluding remark of Mr. Amen,

HERE are three good rules from the Feb. 1st Jfague, for buying clothes: 1. Don't buy too many clothes. One planned, perfect costume is worth any number of improvised combinations! 2. Don't buy hastily; consider every new garment in relation to your whole ward· r obe.. 3. Apportion your clothes·money soundly: pay as much .as you can for the clothes you wear most. Cut corners on things you need only-occasionally.

Orthopedic Specialist, Dr. Winnett Orr, Tells Of Doctors. Outstanding Work in This War After having waited over an hour to see Dr. Winnett Orr, internationally known orthoped ic specialist and chief surgeon and chief of staff of the Nebraska Orthopedic hospital here in Lin.:. coln, an Advocate r eporter :was finally admitted into one of his offices. Suddenly a m an past middle age, short, round-faced and wearing glasses, walked in. In a brusk manner, he took the questions a nd looking them over, stated tha t he didn't have time to answer all of them. Some of the questions, he said, could be answer~d by a book. Fearing that the interview was slipping through her fingers after all that waiting, the reporter asked h im what were the hopes orthopedically for those wounded in this war. "Very good!" was his answer. "Because the men are being treated right at the front at the time the wound occurs instead of w a iting until t hey h ave been m oved behind the lines. They now are sending doctors and nurses right to the front to t ake care of these men and a fter they h ave been treated, quick evacuation by plane to hospitals in England and France and even the United States starts them early on the road to getting new legs or arms. "It's not so much these n ew drugs that you read about in the p aper that are dping the good, it's the application of. blood plasma, doctors and nurses at the front and quick evacuation." In the last Wor ld war, Dr. Orr developed a method for quicker healing of those who had infected fractures. The doctors were then washing or packing the wounds with aniline dyes, the· l atest in antiseptics, which they applied to the wound each day. This wasn 't successful and Dr. Orr, going on the i<lea that rest, not antiseptics,

Links To Defend LINCOLN GAINS REVENGE ON OMAHA SOUTH Tech Cagers . Red And Black City Title Against Cagers Drop Defeat Links Crete Cards Pack Packers Cross-City Rivals 20 Points Fans To See On Home Court Highlight Game Cagemen Of Cage Year Before an expected capacity crowd, the Links will meet the Northeast Rockets in their fourth annual clash. for the inter-city cage crown at the Coliseum, Tuesday, February 6, to continue ~ne of the hottest rivalries in the .state. The Rockets will rely on their three m ainstays, Lincoln, Kipper and Gillispie, .to turn the trick for the firs t time since the initial meeting, when the 1942 Rockets upset the Links 26-17, while the Red and Black will counter with their usual starting five of Lebsack, Hoffman, Browne, Berquist and Olmstead. The North ea st erners have dropped four games this season, being beaten by Omaha North, Boys Town, York and Hastings, but the Northeast rooters point out the victory over a powerful N orfolk quintet and the 40-21 shellacking administered to Nebraska City whom the Links dropped 23..:13 in their season's inaugural game. On the dark side the Lincoln five was defeated by Scottsbluff in the first game with the panhandle club, but rebounded the next night to whip the Bearcats 50-30. The Red and Black have also been edged by Omaha Tech and Omaha South, but also evened the series with the latter club in last Saturday's game. Tu,sday's tilt will mark the aeventh time the two clubs have met. After the initial loss to the cross-towners, the Links piloted by lanky Don McArthur, came back with a 44'-24 win in the Beatrice regionals and took the rubber game and the state championship by slipping by the Rockets, :l5-27.
The following year, with allstate Don McArthur again leading the way, the Red and Black handed the Northeasterners a 34-21 'beating, and fater the same season, in what was termed to be the most hard-fought game of- the year, eked out a 34-33 win in the d istrict tourney. Last year the Links retained the inter-city crown as Dick Hudkins and Gayle Lebsack showed the way to a 29-23 victory.
Fifty Seniors Offered Pre-Induction Course A new course featuring Preinduction training is being taught to about 50 senior boys by Ralph Beechner and ·H. C. Mardis.. Endurance running, rope climbing, map reading, militay swimming, and other army orientation will be taught. This Pre-Induction course will earn the boys regular credit hours, and also will prove helpful when greetings from the presid ent call them to army life.
Travel to Sioux City The Links basketballers will be off to a two game jaunt agai.nst Sioux City East. and Central high school cagers on February 2 and 3. The Sioux Citians have always been a bad omen for the Links and :thould provide . some tough competition with the Missouri Valley ratings at stake. The f irst game will put the Links against the ·East high Raiders who are ranked eighth in northwest Iowa. The Raiders are also out of the Missouri Valley running while the Links have still a slight glimmer of hope for a share of the title. East's hopes rest on two boys' shoulders, Murphy and Norris, two of the · team's ·a ce offensive threats. Following up the East encounter will be the Central Little Maroons, present Missouri Valley leaders. The Maroons _who are ranked as the best five in Northwest Iowa ·need to defeat Lincoln to put the Links out of the Valley . . title chase. By comparative scores the Links hold a slight edge, as the Links have t:Wice easily defeated Omaha Central while the Maroons barely squeezed by Central 3 2to 30. The Maroons have a good scoring punch in Biai1chini and Williamson at .forward, and Crahan, guard, who combined have brought the Maroons four straight Valley wins and no l osses. The Links have a three a nd twu ·status in the Valley· this season.
Netting a 20-point margin on the Cardinals Friday night on the Doane college maples, the Lincoln five ran by Crete 39-19. Making the first six shots attempted, the Links were on t heir way to an easy victory. However they had only a 12-5' lead at the end. of the first quarter. Boney Hoffman's· defensive play as well as being able to hit the basket from almost anywhere on the court made him-the evening's standout. Along with his team·mates holding the opponent's scoreless in the second quarter, Hoffman netted five points a nd "Leb" made a free throw. The half ended 18-5. Showing the way again in the third stanza, Boney connected with a grand total of. 10 points. Hubbell and Vifquain scored free throws for both teams, while Kasparek came thru with four more for Crete. Bottling . up Crete defensively while Lebsack and Hoffman connected for 9 and 17 points respectively, the Red and Black took an unhampered victory from the Crete five.

The Links. boys_ had a lead of 13-3 at the quarter after hol ding the Central cagers _without a field goal- the ·first ten minutes of the game. High point man of the e vening was Fran Slogr of Centra1 with 17 tallies. Lebsack came out with 12 points and as the Omaha World Herald put it, · must be a good snooker player because he potted all of his six baskets froin the side pocket. Late in the third period Slogr's three baskets hiked · the score up to a 17 all t ie, but Lincoln came out ~n top at the end of the three quarter period with three hardea'rned points, making it 20-17 at the beginning of t he fourth quarter.

Gett ing that much looked for .. ward revenge here Saturday n ight against a fast breaking Omaha South quintet , the Red and Black .raked up a 32-18 victory. The Links were determined to .show the Packers a defeat after the1 had been nosed out by South in a n overtime, 25- 24, on ·the Pack-. ers' home court. P aced by Lebsack, the Lincoln lads went out in front, 11- 0, at the first quarter. Their t ight man-to-man defense left the Parkers a little bewildered and they were unable to score in the initial stanza. After·. accounting for three buckets in the first period, "Leb" came · back with a long one at the first of the second qu arter. Getting their first point of the game on a L incoln foul, South followed with Ed Akromis and Wayne Grant doing their bit, bringing the score up to 13- 4. Bergquist, dribbling by a Parker forward, let go with a handed fly shot. Another South tally b1 Akromis and a set -up by Olmstead ended the half with the Links having a 17-6 advantage. "Leb" came through again . t he second half. Constantly widen• ing the margin, Lincoln was not seriously threatened in the entire game.

Former Students In Service May Receive Diplomas New Ruling Is Made By Board Of Education Lincoln board of education has recently made a definite rule for granting diplomas to high school students who left school to enter the armed services. This rule provides that any returning veteran who completed the tenth grade before leaving and "who has demonstrated the educational development expected of high school graduates by scores made in the United States armed forces institute tests of general educational development" may be graduated. It is also provided that the score average be not less than the median score made by high school seniors in the North Central association territory and no individual test score be less than the 20 percentile of high school graduates. The tests are designed to measure the general educational development of the individual and determine if he will be able to go on with college courses without having had full benefit of attendance in a regular academic high school. Two batteries of the tests have been prepar_!!d, one for the high school and the other for the college level. The high school level of battery consists of five comprehensive examinations, one for each of the fields of the social · studies, the natural sciences, literature, mathematics and English. These tests are intended for use primarily with service men or veterans who had completed only a part of their high school course before entering the service and to determine whether they are as able to carry on in a program of general education at the college level as are students who have formally completed high school. The college level battery consists of the same examinations given in the high school level battery with the exception of the mathematics test~ Service men or veterans who had completed, or almost completed their high school course before entering the .service, or who had just begun their college education are given these tests, which may be used to determine whether they have gained from their experiences, the equivalent of the board cultural basis for later specialization,
New Minister Is Speaker 'Choosing a Vocation' Is Topic of Assembly During Youth Week That you do not choose your own vocation, but that your vocation chooses you, was explained by the Rev. Robert L. Warren, new associate pastor of the St. Paul Methodist church, at the Youth week assembly, January 30. Continuing, the speaker stated that your vocation will call you and will track you down. "Independence, as a means of obtaining capital, for adventure, as a last resort, and love for the job you are interested in, are principal factors which drive people to get jobs," he said. "It is foolish to take the first job offered to you. A job taken in this manner may rob you of your person::ilitv, and crtat.-. a sense ul boredom, which comes at middle age." Mentioning s ever a 1 pointers which might help a student in choosing his vocation, the Rev. Mr. Warren stated that it is foolish for a high school stud ~~- • to pay too much "tt;;ntiun too his vocational choice while in high school. He asserted that in choosing a vocation, a pupil must not be afraid to change jobs, or practice routines which might help him to decide on a particular vocational choice. "A job is not enough-the job must be a job plus. It must express all your personality, your ambitions, and your energies," emphasized the minister.

Scrap Paper Is To Be Collected The scrap paper drive for February is to be held Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week. Although Lincoln high did much better in the last driv e, the school still hasn't reached its goal, which is for every pupil in Lincoln high to bring his share. Many people who have no vhildren in s chool would be glad to have a pupil bring th eir extr'l ~aper. Everyone should m ake a habit of saving paper all through the month in advance of each drive. In tying the paper, pupils are urged to tie the bun ch es securely. Pupils bringing large amou nts of paper should turn in their names and the amount brought to Miss Mildred K emp in room 116.

Teacher Writes Magazine Article In t h e Nov:;mber issue of Educational Screen, a magazine w hich is devoted to audio, v isual aids in th? school, Miss Elizabeth Grone ot the foreign language department wrote an article about Lincoln high's film on the Victory Corps. The article tells of the actual making of the Victory Corps film and of t he hard work which was put into it. The film was made almost entirely b y .~' ~mbers of the Camera club at Linc0ln high with the assistance of t he Vic tory Corp~ and some scenes taken by .outside cameramen. The f ilm starts out with the showing of the six types of Victory Corp s arm bands, and an interesting item are the scenes taken at the obstacle course at the L incoln Municip al park. The film concludes with pictures from a physical education class, a scene in the school pr int shop and a picture of the high school band marching with the flag. Accompanying the article by Miss Grone, is a picture of a motion picture photographer making a film on student.:; stu dying global geography , taken hy R ~y Speer, a gr aduate of L. H. C. This picture also was publish·~d in the Scholastic Rota.

Guards, Guides, Inspectors Serve Their School Daily One of the largest and most difficult tasks each year is to compile enough hall guides, locker inspectors and corridor guards for the needs of Lincoln high school. Students who shun the work because of a ''hard schedule" should remember that others are carrying the same subjects but serving their _school at the same time. Lincoln high runs like an organization with each student and faculty member expected to do his part in making the school an agreeable place to work and learn. However as in most organizations, there are always a few who shake off responsibility and hope that some other "dope" will be dumb enough to do both his and the slackers work. Are you one of these slackers? Hall guides, locker inspectors, and corridor guards don't just wear armbands for ornaments. These armbands signify that they are doing their part in serving the school. When you are asked to help, don't pass it on to the other fellow. Do your part !
Bi1'thdoy ()f A. be lhv~nl,-,~. Commmnora.tP:d Next lf' eek The month of February, besides being the shortest month in the year, also marks the date of a great man's birthday, a man who has done many great ·things for humanity's cause. The date is February 12, and is the birthday of .the great emancipator of the slaves, the sixteenth president of the union, Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln carried on where men like Washington left off. We here in Lincoln, the capital city of Nebraska, are proud to have our city and schools named for one of America's greatest immortals. Just as Lincoln or "Honest Abe" strove for the rights of humanity, so should we here in high school strive to better ourselves and aid in the general welfare · of our neighbors. Not the fellow next door, but the welfare of our fellow country men and of our neighbors here in the western hemisphere, and beyond · the seas in the now not-so-far-distant lands. February 12, 1945, is a day to give due respect to our country and to the great man that led it through its blackest hour.
L.H.S. Students Revealing Increased School Spirit How would you like to attend a high where there was no pep organization, band, athletic organizations, or competition with large high schools? We who attend Lincoln high, with its outstanding organizations and teams, would not exchange our high school memories of snappy nights at football games, the band parading on the field in their bright uni· forms, the tense spectators at a basketball game watching the try for a free throw, or the pride we have in our pep clubs, for any amount of money. We are so used to seeing our basketball team go to the state tournament that perhaps we do not fully appreciate the honor it is. Football and basketball games have been enlivened since 1937 by a group of girls in red and black outfits known as the Peppers. Attending games in one body, this group has helped a great deal by their organized cheering and attractive appearance. · This winter a new pep organization for boys, the Salts, has been organized. By having two groups at the games, we should present an even better appearance and be able to give more support to our team. We are able to have games against other large high schools, which makes us well known throughout the state. Competition with Northeast high school of Lincoln, one of the outstanding schools of the state, has quick~ned our sense of school loyalty and pride. For many years Lincoln high was the niost well known high school in Lincoln. In Northeast we have found a friendly rival with outstanding athletic teams. Realizing these things, the students of L.H.S. have begun to increase their school spirit and the games between Lincoln high and Northeast are ceasing to be bitter feuds and are rapidly becoming friendly contests.

Hi kids!! Well here is the "Jerk with the jokes" (in spite of last week's attempt!). Riding in on my little broomstick (is this trip necessary?) I will proceed to tell all you fellow students, who are now in the full swing of things (me mostly) what is going on.

Anne: Gee, you'd be a marvelous dancer but for two things. Floogle: What are they? Anne: . Your feet!

One neat and new deal is newcomer Eddie Donegan from Kearney. Eddie is one very l:Utc lad in the r1pinion of quite a few L.H.S. girls. Da Da! ! Isn't that right, fellow droolers?

Between the Book Ends BY NAOMI SOLT. To most students, history means a large heavy book, pages full of figures and dates and a few not too interesting pictures. Now-adays people who didn't have a chance to study American histor y in school, and even the students who do, don't like large hc:i\cy American history book s, but w ant something streamlined and as modern as today's airplanes and zephyrs. This is just w hat Hoffman and Grattan have done in their new style history books, " NEWS OF THE NATION," a newspaper history of the United States. For instance, you open the first page and great screaming headlines meet you, "Columbus' Discovery Rocks Continent ." It goes on to tell about his voyage and of the natives who met teem in t his unknown world. If it's pic;:tures that you wa nt there are plenty, even cartoons on world events as in toda y's newspapers. While looking on through this interesting book you find a ll events large or small which h appened to t he United States, to the time of the bombing of P earl Harbor and the declaration of World War II, December 8, 1944. If modern writing is to your taste, then "New~ of the Nation" \~,,HI sureJ :·· ~: : 'i t j v ·-'· ~: ~ i~ avaito L: e ;,: th r library and may. be cl'>P('.":cd out r.ver :ni,".ht. Closely related to our own history, political <.nd post w ar pr oblems are. those of our allied nations. The way. they are going to sol.ve their post w ar problems and something of their history are shown in the following new books in the libr ary : WINNING OF THE PEACE IN THE PACIFIC-CHOW. This is the first book written on the peace plans regarding the Chinese war in the Pacific. INTRODUCING AFRICA WELLS. Because there ha ve bee n so many w rong ideas a bout Africa , Car veth Wells has wri tten this book to give the correct picture of the African continent, its peoples and t heir ways. A SHORT HISTORY OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE-GOODRICH. This book is written by a great historian who understands the Chinese peoples an d their w ays and has w ritten this book to bett er a cquaint. you w ith your oriental friends. BROTHERS UNDER THE SKIN -M ~Williams. The author traces in this book, the histor y of our t.:nfair treatment of the Negro, Indian . Mexican , J apanese, Chinese, Haw aiian , Puerto Rican and Filip inos and relates it t o the w ar effort a nd the peaceful world follow ing. INTRODUCTION TO INDIAMoraes and Stimson. This book is just what the title implies, an introduction to India, her peoples and her customs. RUSSIA AND POST WAR EU· ROPE-Dallin. This book is a continuation of Soviet Russia's Foreign Policy 1939-1942 and tries to answer the questions t he future will bring.
Old Cars Possess Unknown Enchantment What is it these old cars have that the new ones don't? It seems that it is better sty le t o ha ve an old car that hardly runs, inst ead of a brand n ew shiny car that purrs along without a care in the world. The car doesn't have to be a Cadillac, but just an old model "T." The only things that ar e really important it seems a re four wheels, and an engine. Of course it helps to have a few conveniences, such as seats, windows, doors, and a "C" card. Also a place to h ang a ny trinkets that one may have, which r ange from rabbit tails to Dewey buttons. Anothe r thing that seems to add to the ca r , is a few drops of paint, from the artist's paint brush.

Island Mosquitoes Very Aggressive " Sitting in a palm grove watching the. sun disappear behind the m ountains is certainly a sight of t ropical splendor ," writes C]ltl. Fra nk M. Ha llgren, '36, in a letter r ecei ved from the Philippines recently . "To m y right I see the lights of a stream of military v ehicles that go rushing along the beach night and day." Cpl. Hallgren states t hat his m ost r ecent communing with animals is n ot with t urtle doves, but with a vicious type of mosquito. " Whether they wer e under fed before our arrival or are just naa turally aggressive I don't know. A t any r ate I feel that I have contributed far more than m y share to them," he wrote. He also stated he attended a Rizo! Day program in one of the t ow ns on the island a nd that some excellent speeches were giv en but that the most interesting part was a folk dance performed [Jy high school gir ls. "Their garb," he said, "was a long color ful dress with an abundance of decoration. Cpl. Hallgren also wrote that the dance itself w as of oriental character and that that particular dance w a s seen only on special occasions. " Most Filipinos preface their requests t o us with 'Americans a re. very rich.' When I took my la u ndr y to a neighboring family the wife smiled a nd said her h usband would be glad t o do it," the cor poral concluded.
Grand Guardian of Bethel 5 Tells Past Experiences 'Vrn-. D:iisy Ben:wtt G rand Guar dian of the In ternational Or der of Job's Daughters in t he State of Nebraska and Guard ian of Bethel 5 of Lincoln, has a desire which she h er self has done much to bring to fulfillment. This desire is to see teen-age girls happy and able to busy th emselves in an organization created for the purpose of banding them together. Just su ch an or ganization is Bethel 5 of the International Order of Job's Daughters to whi ch ·m any Lincoln h igh girls belong. Mrs. Bennett was first associated w ith Bethel 5 when she accepted the position of director of music and after a number of y ears, sh e beca me Bethel gua r dian. Besides h olding her preLlent office in the Grand Council, she also hold s an appointment in Supr eme Council on the commit tee for loca tion. Being Grand Guardian of Nebraska entitled Mrs. Bennett to t ravel to Cleveland t o take par t in the Supreme Guardian Council h eld there last summer. It has been a national project since the outbreak of the war for J ob's Da ughters to purchase ambulances and dedicate t hem t o the Red Cross. The m oney for these ambulances is earned by the girls in some w ay or another. During this session it was Mrs. Bennett's pleasure to witn ess th e donation of the tw elfth ambula nce. The main thought stressed at this session was service to the service man. The motto was "Service Above Self." All :<nmd officers · could attend the council an d m eetings w ere plannerl. for those Job's Daughters who car ed to attend . The only international representatives last summer were two C:rnadian girls, who, while !!. ~ !'".'., presented an impressive tribute to their fla g. When Mrs. Bennett was asked about relationships of Bethels in this country w ith those in foreign countries, she r eplied, "I believe that after the war, Bethels alrea dy in progress w ill become closer united w ith us and ther e will be an increase in the organization of new ones." Mr s. Bennett stressed the point that only girls fro m Masonic families are eligible to become J ob's Da ughters.
Open Forum TO THE EDITOR: While in Denver recently we observed the activities of their East high school. They have at least one big dance ever y month and give th em titles such as "Snow Shuffle" and "Jacket Jump." These dances are sponsored by the various clubs at East, and while that might n ot be possible h ere, we believe t hat Lincoln h igh could still have dances of this type. . Many other schools around the cou11.try have had much success along thes e Jines. There is a genuine need for th em here, for the High Spot dances are of an altogether different t ype, and ar~ not strictly " date" a ffairs. If these "hops" w e re given a big build-up, and publicized widely, they are sure n ot to fall thr ough, but to be huge successes at Lincoln h igh. NANCY HOWEY. MARCIA JOHNSON.

Shirley King answered , "I think it is swell; w e are now able to talk to our friends without yell· ing.''

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1945
Northeast Downed By Lincoln Lincoln basketmen are playing hard and are getting ready to compete in the state basketball tournament. They have lost three games this season, one in an overtime. The Red and Black lost once to Scottsbluff 36-31, coming back the next night to win by a margin of 50-30. No team has defeated the Red and Black cagemen twice this season. At Omaha, South dropped the Links in a· heated overtime by a score of 25-24. After that the Links were asking for revenge as w:w; proved when they downed the Packers on the Whittier maples 32-18. Probably the most disappointing event happened when Omaha Tech edged out the Lincoln clan 35-33. The team w ill travel to Oma ha to play on the Tech maples February 13. If the boys are hot, they should be able to take care of Tech and come out on top. There is of course, the disadvantage of the rooters, cheering against the Links, which can sometimes lose a game. This proved to be a losing factor in the South game at Omaha. It has been proved that the Lincoln team has the ability, skill and teamwork to win. Although they don't rank first in the state ratings, they are surely capable of taking first honors in the state tournament. The Lincoln .victory over Northeast was an important event in the state ratings. Norfolk is rated second in the state a nd was defeated . by Northeast. Creighton Prep downed Northeast and is rated first in the state. Norfolk takes second spot, giving C reighton Prep a close race.

Sioux City Central Knocked Off in Last Two Minutes of Game
Red and Black Take East Basketmen By Winning Margin 45-29
A timely field goal by Bob Olmstead, Lincoln center, in the last minute of the game, gave the Red and Black the winning count over Sioux City Central on the Maroon maples Saturday night. At the beginning of the fourth period Central was ahead 24-19, but the Links turned on the heat and came out on top 32-31. Gayle Lebsack, high point m ari for the Links, dunked the leather on the opening p lay. After four minutes of scoreless play, Bill Browne dropped in a long onehanded push shot followed by a gift toss, putting Lincoln in the lead 5-0. The first Central baskets were potted by Bill Hanson, Jack Crahan and Bob Williamson. Browne sank a nother long shot, and the first period ended 8 to 6 for Lincoln. Williamson hit five field goals and Hanson a single in the second period for the Maroons, outscoring the Links 12 to 4. Browne and Lebsack accounted for the two buckets. Starting ·the second half, Central took off to grab the lead of 20-12. Lebsack then connected for Lincoln. Williamson dropped in two gift tosses after missing three of them in the first, Gerlach scratched the mesh for t wo points after Hoffman dunked a free throw. The third quarter ended 24- 19. In the fourth quarter Hanson tipped one in to give Central a seven- point lead. Williams.o n hit a free toss again. Then Lincoln let go with some firy play. Bergquist and Lebsack dropped successive b askets, bringing t he score up 23 - 27 . Hanson hit and L ebsack retaliated; The crowd nearly raised the roof as the M aroons hit, and th.en the Links. In the last twenty seconds of play the Sioux Citians were so excited that they missed a set-up and several tip ins. It was a high spirited ball t eam that enabled their center t o p ut in that last winning coun-
Nearly tearing the net off the basket, Gayle Lebsack hit . the bucket 13 times Friday night as he led his Red and Black teammates to a 45-29 victory over Sioux City East. Weyand's boys jumped to an early 10-6 lead, but held a mere 19-12 margin at the half. "Leb," starting out cold, found his eye in the second quarter when he garnered six points. The East boys threatened the Links by long set shots. But this threat didn't last and was stopped short by the strong Red and Black man-to-man defense. • The third quarter showed East's last hard drive when they counted up 10 points. But Lebsack's uncanny ability to hit the basket from either corner, or from other positions amazed the Sioux City fans as well as the East five, as he racked up 16 points in that period. In the last period, Weyand injected . substitutes who were still able to hold the East raiders. Before leav ing the game Bill Browne let go with two fly shots in a row to widen the margin. Don Thompson was high for the defeated East quintet with 8 points followed by Don Hakes, who hit for seven.

Although Doane suffered ~e f eat 63- 45, the t eam was kept in t he ball game b y the brilliant offensive work of Cox. The ability of Cox to make bask e ts from •almost any where on the court forced the Wings to ta ke time out and assign their ace defensive man, Jake Ahearn, to g uard Cox. Even with Ahearn guarding him, the former Lincoln high ace was still able to ring up points. While at Lincoln high, Cox played on the basketball, football a nd track t eams. His senior year i n school Cox was one of the best high jumpers in t he state. H is r ecord jump w as s ix feet.

BY JACK Leading the list of forwards on this year's squad is Gayle Lebsack, 6' 2" senior. " Leb" was the only returni ng starter from last year's quintet and is the deadest shot. on the team. Holding the Link's scoring spotlight for the season to date. Leb also leads all capital city h oopsters with his 12 point plus average. His deadly basket eye has h elped salt away many games, as was proved again on last week end's jaunt through Sioux City, w hen he scorched the meshes for 26 and 11 points on consecutive nights. Holding down the other initial forward post is Bill Browne, 5' 101/2 " senior. Returning from last year's aggregation, Bill has shown much. improvement in past games. P ossessing a very deceptive fake, he is able to get in position for many counters, mostly from side court. Moving from gu ard to the forward position in the early part of the season is Bob Bartlett, 5' 11" junior. Bob looked especially good if! the ~: econd Scottshiuff e'rln1e :..1s
he garnered 16 m arkers against the panhandle club. Bob was the only sophomore on last year's squad and much is expected of him in the future. Next in line is Bud Gerl ach, moved up from last year's reserve quintet. Bud also moved from a guard spot and his abiilty makes him called upon often. Charley Crawford, the only sou '.hpaw among forward contenders, comes in handy under the bankboards because of his height. Mid-year senior Guy Dean comes next in the long line of candidates. G uy has the most fight and spirit among forward aspirants and hits the scoring column regularly. Rounding out the list are Virg Reigert and Ray Aguirre. Virg, only a junior, will soon be of draft age and may not be around nex: winter. He is a fine ball h andler but is h ampered by lack of h eight as is Aguirre, w ho collects most of his shots by u sing an uncann y h ook sh•,)t either right

Starting off fa st in the last h alf , th e reser ves built up a commandng lead . Coach Worrall sent in the second s tring, and with Meyers setting the scoring pace, T each ers was n ever in the ball game after the first quarter. Duane Grady, after having been out for t w o weeks, r eturned to the squad a nd his work on the defense proved a g reat factor fo hold ing Teachers down to 19 points. Four days before Teach ers had set a st a te record for this year, beating Rokeby 108-14. Rankin was again high for r eserves with 9 points. Grossman led Teachers.

day, February 13, the Links cagers meet Tech's high- flying Maroons with hopes of avenging the 35- 33 d e f e a t administered to them ea rlier this season by Coach DeBoer's quintet. The Omahans rule as slight favorites, although they were forced to rely on a 15- point fourth quarter rally to defeat the R e d and Black on th e Whittier maples. ·They are placed ahe ad of the Links in state rankings, holding dow n the fourt h slot while Weyand's quintet are one notch behind. DeBoer's la ds will rely on the same starting five of Bauer, Williams, Gibbon s, Russell and Armer w hile the R ed and Blacks' h ope rests on the shoulders of their u s ual starters. Both st ate and Missouri Va lley r a nkings are a t stake in Tuesday's crucial game. T he Links must be v ictor iou s in the tussle in order t o k eep their mathematical chance at the Valley title, but the Maroons, hoping to be the first club to drop the Red and Black twice t his season, are in much the same situation.

That l_
BY DOROTHY BORGENS. Hurry up you slow pokes, for there's still time to join the afterschool basketball classes. That extra half hour credit will come in mighty handy when you're t rying to get those physical education hours to add up to nine. Remember, every Monday and Wednesday night after school in the girls' gymnasium. Racking their brains in effort to think of an idea f9r the G.A.A. Joy night act, have been various members of the Joy night committee of the G .A.A. Some members of this committee are Lois Gillett , Nancy Finkle, Catherine Henrichs, Lois Umberger, Phyllis Harris, Sharon Nuss, Hazel J ohnson, Mary Hitz, Lucy Pierce and P atsy Loudon. If interested in t able tennis, girls should sign up for singles and doubles in the girls' gymnasium. Miss Frances Bleik, Miss Bonnie Calmer and Mrs. Peg Maly, three cadets from the University of Nebraska, will assist Miss Lillian Story and Miss H elen Miller in their gymnasium classes this semester. Long faces, and sighs of r egret, were frequent in the gymnasium classes this week, the cause being that some of the unfortunates had forgotten to bring their gymnas~ ium clothes to class on the designated day. This past week found Miss Helen .M iller busy taking posture 1•lcturcs of the g ii:ls in th" con.,ctive classes. After having these pictw·cs taken, the girls will begin mild exercises in the effort to correct these defects. Kinda forgetful? B etter tie a st ring around your finger so you won 't forget to pay your G .A.A. dues. It's very impor tant that you take care of this matter, so save u p that ten cents, and pay your dues to Hazel Marie Johnson. M a ril yn Mulder will ser ve as swimming assistant in the fifth per iod Tuesday and · Thursday gymnasium classes. Her job will be to assist Miss Lillia n Story in teaching girls the fundamentals of swimming. At last the scal es in the girls dressing rooms have been fixed! Now all inquisitive girls who r eally want the t ruth can look it in the face, and bear it.

Naval Men Speak Here
•
Chief Petty Officer Jack Goodman and P etty Officer l /c Joseph Winterhall gave brief talks Monday, February 5, in an all boys assembly. The importance of finishing high school was stressed by both speakers. Boys from College View and Cathedral high schools as well as some from the country w ere in the audience. "Finish high school before you enter the services, if you possibly can," said P etty Officer Winterhall. He stated that the Navy needed educated men, and they would much rather have a boy finish high school work, than join before r eceiving a diploma. He also made it clear that if it is impossible t o f inish before being drafted, a boy who wants this branch of the service would be better off to join the Navy before he is eighteen. As a rule, just one out of four men is drafted into the Navy. Ch.l ef

The general idea is that by certain radio equipment they can l ocate enemy ships and plan es. Radar also. can aim t he guns . on enemy craft.

Will Nebraska be the fortieth state to offer retirement to its sch ool employees? This question will be discussed when legislative bill 120, introduced by Senators Earl J. Lee, of Dodge, Walter R. Raecki, of Merrick, and William . Hern, of Dawes, will have its public hearing Monday, F ebruary 19, at 2 o'clock. "Expense of administering this retirement in Nebraska for one year would be just about the cost of paving .o ne mile of highway," stated Dr. Allen P~ Burkhardt, superintendent of the No r f o 1 k schools, in answer to an argument · sometimes m ade about expense to the state.

'Will I Get 1l1y Old Job Back?' Asks Veteran Boys in the service of our country, w~o have been in bat t 1 e and have been discharged, have ju.:;t one thought in mind .as they say goodbye to the service of Uncle Sam "Will I get my old job back? The selective service has sent memoran· dums to employers about the rehiring of veterans. For instance, aefore entering the · service, John Doe worked in a ra~io shop in which he learned much about radio. Then one day he decided he wanted to do something for his country, so he enlisted in the Navy. After about six months John was sent overseas. There he tangled with some Japs and got shrapnel in his right le~ a~d arm. But this didn't stop John. While m the hospital John thought about what his boss said when he left home that he could have his job any time he wanted it. · After being discharged fr0m the Navy, John was called to the selective service board for questioning about what he was going to do. John went in.to an office, where there were ~ ~··c.;;.t m!1y " r.nys \vho were --c...•::. jubn's turn. •

him,
··trn.vc y:.:.,_ o.;.y definite plans where you are going to worl< ·~" · John then said, "Sir, could my boss refuse to hire me?" The officer answered, "Only if post-war conditions make it 'unreasonable,' or 'impossible.' An employer can't refuse re-employment just because it's inconvenient. He doesn't have to employ a veteran who has had a dishonorable discharge, or a veteran who can't do the duties of his old job. But I believe I have a pamphlet here for your questions." John opened his pamphlet and started to read a book both of questions and answers. How much time does a veteran have to ask for his old job? Within 40 days of discharge. Will the veteran have to wait any before being hired? The employer does not have to rehire the veteran 'instantly,' but he must do so promptly and, "without unnecessary delay." How long is the employer obligated to retain the veteran? The employer cannot dismiss the veteran "without cause" for one year. "Standards of common sense" will determine whether the cause is justified. What about salaries? A veteran is entitled to his old salary. If the job carries a higher salary, then the veteran is due the increased pay, provided he can hold down the old job. But if he can't' hold down the job he must be given another at his old pay. What about seniority? A veteran's job seniority accumulates while he is in the service, as though he had never left his job. Can a veteran be demoted after he is re-hired? Not for a year. Can a veteran refuse to take a better job and insist on his old one? Yes. Does the employer have to displace a civilian with a higher seniority to make room for the veterans? Yes. Can an employer refuse to re-employ a veteran because a woman has his old job? No. Can a veteran be refused re-employment because of a union contract? No. What if two veterans claim the same job? The veteran who first held the job permanently is entitled to it. If four men all held permanent similar jobs with one employer and the employer now can employ only two people, the first two re· turning are entitled to the jobs. Can an employer offer to restore a veteran to a comparable job in another plant, operated by the same company in another city? Not if the veteran wants to return to his old job in the old plant if the plant is still operating. How rigidly is the law governing the re-employment of veterans to be enforced? verv. What can a veteran do if his old employer refused to give him back his job? He can sue in court. One federal court already has held that a veteran is entitled to back pay from the time he was refused his old job to the time he got it. Veterans can even enlist the services of federal district attorneys without cost to them, of course, -to enforce their job rights. • Having all this in mind, John went to his home-town where he got his old job back and settled down and was married. This story of John Doe is just one of the many instances which happen all over the United States every day.
Hi ya all!! I will now get out my little rope and hang around· awhile (gag!!) and tell you the . noose (ouch!!)

Guards: Miss Ethel Bryant, Miss Annetta Sprung, Miss Mamie Short. Centers: Miss Esther Montgomery, Mrs. Ruth Dodge, Miss Jennie Lou Piper. And now a play by play description of a recent game. Lincoln high's Red and Black cagers again chalked up a victory to their credit. The score was 72 to 0. In the opening quarter, Miss Gunnderman opened the scoring with a dribble in the basket. Next, Mrs. Dodge brought the fans to their feet by sifting in a one-handed side shot. The second quarter started off fast, with Miss Bryant stealing a dribble from a cagey opponent. The powerful Links next chalked up three baskets and a free throw. The score now stood 64 to 0. Would the Links win?? Could be!! Substitutions were made and Miss Montgomery led the second h~lf scoring by her \lnder-basket work. Miss Dunlap and Miss Mu1Tay added to the score by two free throws. The game. ended ha!?"' pily with a victorious Links gomg to their benches to correct exam papers.

publicizing personalities, a build up is given which sells them to the public. Monologing doesn't have this and consequently the public doesn't know what it is. Miss Draper herself has never -lent herself to advertise soap, or tooth ,powder or anything like that; She continued that the elementary idea of stage work is to create an illusion. That way the audience is required to give something, but in motion pictures all they have to do is sit and let it pour in. "No art is complete until the reaction brought on by the audience completes it." Miss Draper has never gone into the movies or radio because she feels she would lose her own individuality, by being under the direction of others. Miss Draper has a rival in the art of montJloging, Cornelia Oti~ Skinner, whom she has purposely never ~een preform, because in her she might see herself as others see her and give up thi$ work, and she likes it too well to do that. Her summers are spent in Maine where she loves to sail, play tennis and go walking. On a four month tour, Miss Draper appeared here yesterday,

Department Store Personnel Director Gives Ideas on Management's Thinking made up of intelligent women, many of whom have held responsible positions in other communities and are well trained in merchandising. These women have fitted into the retail picture ot Lincoln, making their service to customers as satisfactory as -can be expected from short term employment. Asked about the future employment situation, Miss 'Wiesner pre.,. dieted, "I think that the coming young woman in retailing will be well trained and well educated. A good educational background will equip a young woman to advance in. her work more rapidly and assume responsibilities as they are assigned to her." As to post war employment, Miss Wiesner remarked, "If capital is given the privilege of de~ . veloping the new things that the war has brought out, the manufacturing and retailing outlook is almost unlimited."
ARE YOU LOOKING for a lightweight head scarf for these wa'rm days to come? Very new at Magee's are the rayon plaid scarfs. We liked one in red and white, with wide fringe, especially. They have so many uses! At your throat with spring coats • • • around your waist ••• or, as Mademoiselle said once, draped around your shoulders, fetchingly.

Ten Seniors Earn $2,100 Distributive Education Very Helpful Course Explains Miss Hubbard Totaling t heir ea rnings for the first s emest er of 1944- ' 45, t en seniors in distributive education were amazed to l earn t h at they earned a total of $2,100.97. One stµde n t had earned $348 .1 6. The l owest in the group had $75.02. Explaining the dist ributive educaiion course, Miss F ern Hubbard stated that t he students are employed in departme nt stores, variety stores, specialty shops and dairy stores. Seniors in the distributive course have a regular program. They attend classes here in t he mor n ing and at twel ve go to their place of employment and work all afternoon. This is called l abor atory. They are graded on their work , and not only receive wages, but a variety of experience. While in class the student s do research w ork i n retail and trade magazines, and study informat ion sent out by m;rnufactur ers, giving r eports and telling their own experiences. Sometimes the class sees films. They pay special attention to the different types of customer, learning how to handle each situation and satisfy the customer. The distribut ive e du c a t i on course is a national program, originated in 1938. Lincoln high h as offered t h e course to its ·students nearly six years. There is also a n ewly- organized club open to all distributive education students, or former students.

By BILL KIMBALL The Lincoln victory . over S ioux City Central was t estimonial of the 'fact that the Links have what it t akes to turn on the heat and come out on top. Showing that they didn 't just have a stroke of good luck, they st aved off a threatening third quarter rally in their las t encounter w it h Northeast. T his vict ory over Sioux City Central r a ised them t o t ie with S cot tsbluff for second and third spots in the Nebraska state basketball ratings. The top ten are as follows : 1. Creighton Prep. 2-3. Lincoln, Scottsbluff. 4. Norfolk. 5. McCoqk. 6. Omaha Benson. 7. Omaha North. 8. Omah a Tech. 9. Omaha South. 10. Northeast, Hastings. Another factor in giving Lincoln p r eference over Norfolk is the fact that Northeast beat N or folk and the Red and Bla ck q uintet downed N ortheast. Little m ention was given to the Lincoln reserve squa d in the last issue of the A dvocate. The team, coached b y Ch uck Worrall is p r oving that it is one of the b est second basketball squads in this region. It h a~ only one defeat this season, ·which was Greenwood , Nebraska. In the game against Northeast reserves, the Lincoln players used a dose m a n t o man defense and held back on fast b r eaks on the offense, succeeding i n loosening the Junior Rockets defense enough to ou t - score them 33-20. R andall Renken was high point man for the Junior Links with 9. The b ox score is as follows:

Arthur Parchen Forum Club, Wins Art Prize Plans Tryouts Next Monday Faulkner Cup Will Be Prize
Mr. Dwight Kirsch, Director of U. of N. Art Galleries being interviewed by Shirley Seright, President of L. H. S. Art Club.
Prof. Dwight Kirsch Relates History Of Art Exhibit to Be Held in March "Since many people in Lincoln were interested in art even in 1888, the Hayden Art club, named after a popular artist of that time, was organized," stated Prof. Dwight Kirsch in a recent interview in the studio of his home. Professor Kirsch has been director of the university art galleries for the past ~ix years and is chairman of the exhibition committee of the Nebraska Art association which holds its annual exhibit in March. "After 1900," he continued, "the name was changed to the Nebraska Art association. The plan was to help with the ar t instruction at the university, to hold sketch classes, to buy art objects and to establish a gallery. At that time the exhibitions were held in the old university library building." Fifty-fifth Showing Scheduled. He then stated that the annual exhibit of the Nebraska Art association will be the fifty-fifth consecutive showing. He added that this exhibit is regarded by studio m a nagers in New York City as on p:tr with the Carnegie show in Pittsburgh and the Corcoran show in Washington, D. C. Professor Kirsch went on· to say that the exhibit is . a cooperative affair; the University of Nebraska furnishes the building and staff for receiving and hanging pictures, while Nebraska Art association manages the finances, advertising and attendance. The Lincoln board of education helps pay the expenses, in return for which an average of about 3,500 pupils
Students Hear Dr. Rosenlof Birthday Anniversary Of Abraham Lincoln Inspires Assembly Commemorating Abraham Lincoln's 136th birthday anniversary, an assembly held last Monday had as guest speaker, Dr. G. W. Rosenlof, registrar of the University of Nebraska. Preceding Dr. Rosenlof's address, Herman Kurth, presented Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address to the assembled students. Perhaps the highlight of Dr. Rosenlof's speech was the recitation of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg address which he afterwards defined as "Probably among the . greatest documents in history, at least it stands unexcelled." Dr. Rosenlof, marveling at President Lincoln's keen insight of problems that would soon face our nation, said that Lincoln, ''spoke prophetically, and then • knew better than anyone else perhaps, what was coming." Comparing the problems faced by our nation today, with those faced in Lincoln's time, he continued, "They are just as pertinent to your life as they were then to our nation's citizens. "Lincoln spent his life in the preservation of this union and what he believed in. Our responsibility, is greater now than ever before .. "We stand at a crossroad at which youth must make the decision," Dr. Rosenlof stated. Concluding that three things are demanded of us, as citizens of this land of the free, Dr. Rosenlof stated, "Youth will rise to take these responsibilities." Briefly outlined, t.hey are the necessity of having a knowledge of our Constitution and great documents and for what they stand, making a general applica';ion of these principles, for example, appreciation for old age and kindness for those less fortunate, and making a dedication of ourselves to that government, a fit and worthy example of the finest America can produce.
are taken through on free conducted tours durin~ each annual show. Pupils may also attend at any time without fee. "My job," he explained, "is to get information about the best to be had and what is being produced in contemporary art." Many Exhibits Seen In East. He said that the fall and winter seasons are the most importa nt times for new art show s in the larger cities. Therefore he saw as many exhibits as possible as well as dealer's galleries on his annual trip east in Dec.e mber. "We try to lay the main stress on art being done in this country today by the most creative American artists," Professor Kirsch continued. "While many art exhibits and permanent collections desire art work from different periods and countries, here we feel it is best to keep in touch with American artists and to encourage them by the exhibits, and by buying their work for the university's permanent collection." Small Sculptures Added In 1937. Recalling that in the earlier i:howin g~

Noon Recreation May Take Place
"I have never attended a friendlier school. I think it is fine," remarked Robert Collins of home room 220. He finds Lincoln high a little large after atten\ling Louis- . ville high, Louisville, Nebraska. Louisville high is cnly one-third the size of Lincoln high, and has 150 pupils. It does not have a football team, but it does have a basketball team. The pupils buy season tickets which are like Lincoln high's activity ticket. Robert Sykes, home room 216, recently entered Lincoln high from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Bob was the left end on Washington high's football team, and although he is only a sophomore he possesses thr~e letters, two for football and one for track. His father is with the field artillery overseas. The high school has a Teen Canteen, somewhat like Lincoln high's High Spot. Canteen opens at 7:30 and doses at 12 o'clock. It features games, swimming, dancing and bowling. Sioux Falls pupils have football and basketball t~ams; ..'l'he oval is somewhat like_ .L±n_coln high's except for a sodded field. The school is about threefourths the size of Lincoln high and has about 1,500 pupils. "I think Lincoln high is swell," admitted Robert, "but, I would like to be in my own home town."
Dancing and the playing of games may take place in the gymnasiums after lunch each noon for those in the last lunch period if plans can be worked out.' With Harris Graves jS chairman, a committee for the student council, which includes Jeanne Branch, Joan Farrar and Harold Engstrom, are now looking things over in. an attempt to work out this new plan of noon recreation. Sin c e the gymn;isiums are closed, except for last lunch, tlicre could be recreation only during this period.
Board of Education ApprovesTuberculin X-Ray Unanimous approval was granted by members of the board of education, Tuesday morning to a proposal by Dr. R. B. Adams, school physician, to use a portable x-ray machine which takes small pictures in examinmg school pupils for tuberculosis. Described as being "faster , cheaper, and more accurate," the apparatus will probably be used by Lincoln schools next fall. "This is a step in advance in tile sear ch for tuberculosis and, I think it can be safely said, it will take the place of skin testing," stated Dr. Adams.

In the February issue of the "Scholastic Roto," given with today's Advocate, is found a cartoon by an L.H.S. senior, Arthur Parchen. His cartoon, featuring some timely humor brought about by a current war situation, received honorable mention in the "Cartoon-of-the - Month" contest, and brought to him a check for $5. Miscellaneous c a r to o n s and drawings by Art have appeared often in the Advocate and his column heads appear weekly. His hobby has also brought him a job with a downtown concern, doing advertisement drawings and window displays.
Obligations Of School Discussed Faculty Hears Former Officer Responsibility of the school in setting the pattern for a proper mental and social adjustment for returning veterans was discussed by Dr. Arthur F. Jenness, chairman of the department of psychology at the University of Nebraska, in faculty meeting February 12. "All returning veterans need help, but the ones who need help most are usually the ones who will not ask for it," he declared. Having returned September 15, from 20 months as a first lieutenant in the army, part of which time was spent at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, in working with psychology of the cadets, Dr. Jenness can speak with authority. Prior to this he attended an instructors' school at Randolph Field and afterwards was a bombardier instructor. "No veteran should be urged to talk about his experiences until he wants to tell about them," said Dr. Jenness. Returned servicemen miss the schedule laid out for them. Under rigid discipline, which the army m""i.l"l says wlll l e"d to ~cl!- L1i.ociplme, i nd ~.ibj<:•:i to incc111veniences no matter where they are stationed, there is a feeling of resentment against civilians who escape all this. He closed with the thought that returned veterans like definite words of both praise and blame because they_ are used to them.
Hi-Y Program To Be Held The annual Hi-Y conference for this part of the state will be held at Wesleyan Wednesday, February 21, and will feature two addresses by Dr. 'Frank Slutz, one of the morning program and the second at the close of the day's activities, immediately following the evening banquet. Dr. Slutz is one of America's foremost youth counselors. He has given full time to this work since 1932. Before that, he was superintendent of schools at Pueblo, Colorado, and served as educational adviser for the Chicago Teachers college. Dr. Slutz has also written frequent articles for various periodicals. Also on the program will be Howard Kusterman of the Hi-Y area office of Topeka, Kansas, and Dr. Warren Baller of the University of Nebraska. A general round table discussion will be lead by Dr. Baller in the morning and four separate discussion groups will be held in the afternoon under the leadership of four Lincoln men. A movie, "Men of Tomorrow," will be shown to close the afternoon session. The conference begins with registration at 9:30 a. m . Group singing, movies and entertainment by the Wesleyan "YH will be a part of the program. A number of members of Lincoln High's Hi-Y are planning to attend.

Girls Should Plan Career Vocational Training Is Favored According to Results of Student Poll "Do you think girls should plan a career other than home-making?" The answer was overwhelmingly "yes," to this qiestion which appeared on the Institute of Student Opinion ballot which was taken in a number of the home rooms February 7. , This question has been and is still being debated among grownups and teen-agers alike. Now the students have had a chance to speak their mind. Together, the boys and girls votes for yes numbered 125; voting no, 10; and expressing no opinion, 26. Two students gave the following as their reasons for voting as they did on this question: "I definitely think girls should plan a career other than homemaking, principally, because there will be more than one girl who won't be able to be married after this war. These girls will have to support themselves and training in some particular vocation will come in mighty handy," says Ruth Moll. John Luebs, also voting yes, says, A girl should plan a career other than homemaking because, even though she does become a homemaker, the fact that she was prepared for a career would be of great value in instructing and guiding her children to the type of profession they want, as well as many other necessary things. Knowing something more than cooking is an asset. Also no girl can be sure she is going to be a homemaker, therefore it would be of great value to her to be able to go into a profession, should the need arise."

H.R.R. Officer List Complete New Methods to Be Used in Reporting of Paper Drive Results Patricia Fegler w ~s elected secretary of the home room representatives at the meeting on Wednesday, February 14, to complete the election of January 24 when the voting for this office resulted in a tie. Kay Darlington was elected to the student affairs board committee, while Richar d Russell, president, is automatically a member to serve along with her. The representatives discussed indefinite plans for the Links picture to be taken some time in the near future. Reporting on the results of the paper drive on behalf of the war committee, Miss Mildred Kemp stated that even yet pupils don't respond as they should on the first day of the drive. Elected to serve on the war committee along with Marjorie Walker, in place of Dale Hatch who was graduated in January, was Donald Bryant. War Committee Meeting Held. BeLLer mefaods of reporting the
l'esults of the paper drives was the main topic of discussion at the meeting of the war committee, Thursday, February 15. It was decided that the paper should be weighed by the student and the report given to ·the home room representative. The home room total will be figured on a percentage basis. The committee received suggestions from the home room representatives and faculty for getting better results from the student body. There will be more advertising and a greater effort made to show that everybody should bring paper, not just a few. In the last drive Lincoln high collected 8,250 pounds compared to the 10,500 pounds of t.h e previous campaign. The next drive will be March 7, 8, 9. Members of the committee are Derald Drbal, student body repretatives, and Harris Graves, Joan Farrer and Neil Atkinson, student council. Representing the faculty are Mrs. Mary C. Mapes, Miss Ethel Murray, Miss Inez M. Cook, Miss Mildred Kemp, 0. L. Hedrick, C. E. Evans and H. C. Mardis, principal.
Many Activities To Include All Public Schools . Plans for the observance of V-E day (victory day in Europe) were announced recently· by the civic leaders in Lincoln to include· every man, woman and child in the city. Activities in the public schools will be under the direction ot M~ C. Lefler, · superintendent ot schools; and instructions are al• · ready being handed out to princi· pals, teachers and supervisors. · N.o thing at all is to be done in the ·schools until official word ot the victory is telephoned to the principal by Mr. Lefler's office. If word is received before 3:00 p. m. on a week day, school will be dismissed for the day. If word is heard between 3:00 and 6:0-0 p . m ., school will convene as usual the n ext day, but if word is received after 6:00 p. m., school will not be in session the following day and the celebration will start at 9:00 a . m. city-wide. "Take the pupils into your fullest. confidence repeatedly, so that they may fully understand the aim of V-E day," Superintendent Lefler stressed in his in· structions to the teachers and principals. "It is highly desirable," the superintendent adds, "that the schools take an aggressive, constructive part in helping establish a humble, spiritual attitude, commemorating the losses already sustained, with a rededication to continued effort seeking final conclusion of the war on all fronts, which we hope may lead to a just and permanent peace." After the official word is received, the war committee will present a program over sound, which will include music, prayer z.::.::1 .;p .:..:id.1 anntJunc .:.:. a.i.6-t.:: ..... t~ .

the entire school will parade behind the Lincoln high band and join the city-wide celebration. Plans for this event were set up last fall in case the victory might come at any time. Although this affair has been arranged, it does not mea n the victory is coming soon, because it may be a long, hard fight.

Apparently political careers, whether for or against, bring varied reactions from high school students. Outstanding highlights were revealed on this subject as shown by a· recent survey of Institute of Student Opinion, sponsored by Scholastic Magazine in schools in the United States among 91,300 students. The majority of the "Pardon me, does this bus stop at Tenth students would not consider a career in pol- street?"

sponsibility it involves. This respert is evident in the results of thousands of interviews obtained during the survey and typified by such comments as, "to be a statesman-like politician requires diplomacy, wise judgment and sound reasoning and I am unequal to such great responsibility" a nd "Politics is a highly respectable career a nd it's unfortunate that the word politician is often used as a synonym for a slick operator, even by politicians themselves.' " The poll .was conducted by the staffs of more than 1200 high school newspapers, members of the Inst itute of Student Opinion, representing all sections of the cour:t:Y· The students not wishing to include politics in a list of possible careers gave these as their predominant reasons: "A public office sometimes lasts only as long as your party is in power and I want a permanent job." "If more money was offered for political jobs, more bramy people would train for t hem as they do for other professions." "In politics there isn't the chance for advancement as there is in other careers." Those showing an inclination toward a political career gave as their reasons: "I want to do more in government than vote. I'd like to be a politician in order to help make changes that are needed." "Politicians are doing an essential job efficiently and working for the benefjt of the nation as a whole." "Politics is as important a profession as that of a teac her, doctor or scientist." Many students would like to see politicians trained for their careers. Here is how they suggested this should be done. "I think passing an examination should be a pre-requisite for holding public office." "There should be a school for Congressmen. People shoulq prepare for this sort of job just as they would for any profession." If the above summary is correc.t it would appear that political careers should be lifted t o the rank of a profession in order that we might h ave trained statesmen to make our laws and to lead our country.

Nation to Commemorate Birthday of Washington
Lynn : Every t ime I go into my baby brother 's room he looks up at me and says "goo goo." Don: Oh go on!! He just can't pronounce his n's! !
"First in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his country men"- a phrase brought to mind with t he celebration of George Washington's birthday on the 22nd of February. A phrase that r eminds us of our first president, his deter mination to make this n ew nation a place for freedom and equality for a ll. He did his part to make this a free country and now we, with his spirit, can help to preserve the freedom that he and his · fellow men handed down to us. This year, besides putting out t he "star spangled banner" and refreshing our memories with the story of his life, do a little extra and buy war stamps or bonds to celebrate t he birthday of one of the United States' greatest statesmen.
Ma ny couples were out dancing over the week-end, such as June Fislar and "Mouldy" Moulton, Dorothy Borgens and Jack Campbell, Margie Leese and Bob Walters, Bev Williams wit h Bill Kimball, J oan Butler with Joe Philbrick, and Pat Graham and Don Gillen. Gayle Lebsack was with Ruthie Byers, and Norm Walt with Shirley Mercer, Terr y Gradwohl and Don Smith. Cutest couple of the week : Mary Lou Pa rkhurst and Bud Lee.

Remember t he Hornet! That sh.o uld be as familiar a slogan as "Remember P earl Harbor." For i t was the Hornet, with its great umbrella .of fighter, scout and torpedo planes and its light bombers, that figured prominently in the battle of Midway, Guadalcanal and the bombing of T ok yo b~ Colonel Jimmy Doolittle, h is band of Army flyers a nd t heir B- 25 medium bombers. T his bombing of Tokyo is probably impressed upon your mind m ore vivldly than any of the incidents of the Hornet's glorious car eer and this is brought out excellently in Alexander Griffin's book, A SHIP TO REMEMBER. The book begins by t elling of the Hornet's childhood. She starts out as a new ship wit h an inexperienced crew and a 'few experienced flyers a nd officers. After the shakedown cruise this big lumbering carrier came in to the harbor with its crew, now veterans and sha rpshooters. Instead of getting the shore leave the men expected the y loaded a rmy B -25's aboard and Colonel Jimmy Doolittle and his band of Army flyer s. When the Hornet got out at sea, the sealed orders wer e opened and immediately announced to the crew, because the skipper believed t hat it would strengthen the men's mor ale to know where they w ere going. As the order was read the sailors became on friendlier terms with the flyers beca use they were escorting the first squadron of planes t o bomb Tokyo military objectives. Because they wouldn·t be able t o l and on the H ornet ttiey carried extra stores of gasoline m t heir p lanes so they would h ave enough fuel t o get to fr iendly bases in China. Mark A. Mitscher, w ho at t he time of t he bom bing of Tokyo was skipper of the Hornet, now is a Rear Admiral and t ook an importan t part in the huge task forre which struck at Tokyo last Thursday, Febr uary 15. "A S hip to Remember" also tells of the ex citing battle of Santa Cruz and the dramatic deaths of the Wasp, the Lexington, the York town a nd the end · of the her oic career of the H ornet. If you lik e to r ead of t he herois m of our m e n u nder fighting conditions and of t he ships t hey man, you will find this book one of the most exciting a nri true to life as any you could rea d.

E ngineering the killing w as Sen ator Don Garber. who mentioned, "If the age should be lowered why not lower it all the way, say to 14 or ,15 year-olds." Senator Garbor won out, as the final vote was 28 to 10. The defeat still leaves only one state allowing the 18 to 21 age group vote, t ha t state being Georgia.

Facts And Figures Of Venereal Diseases Presented to Students Facts and figures of venereal diseases were presented by Jean Hersholt and others in the motion picture, "To the P eople cf the United States," shown at a double a ssembly on Tuesday, February 13. The picture began with the case of an army man, who, because he had syphillis, was grounded and his plane could not fly w ith the ·others. Under the care of the army doctor (Jean Hersholt) he will b e given painless treatments which will soon put him back in action, but only beca use it was discove red in an early stage. The doctor · said that among those examined for the army, 47 of every 1,000 h ave the disease, which puts approximately 300,000 s ervice men out of action each year. This costs the ta xpa yers $14,000,000 a year to maintain care for those blinded by the disease and $31 ,000 ,000 for p r i vate h ospitals. According to figures, 96,000 children are born each year to mothers with syphillis a nd consequently, many of the babies are born with defects. Summarizing th e disease, Jean Hersholt pres ented three m ain facts. 1. Sy phillis has sprea d all over America to a staggering extent. 2. It can be stamped out. 3 . One important way to help stamp it out is to have a blood test. In conclusion Jean Hersholt declared, "In working t ogether we will be able to stamp it out."

Her uncle was the mayor of the town in w hich she lived.

Activities In Classes Vary Students See Film On 'This Too Is Sabotage,' Design Complex Flowers D esigning and painting complex flower compositions is the present project .of Miss Gladys Dana's advanced elementary design classes. When finished, they will be matted, framed and used as pictu res. "This Too Is Sabotage" a picture based on employees absent from work in vital war industries due to malnutrition, was viewed by the classes of Miss Helene Schemel and Mrs. Katherine Henninger. It deals with proper foods to be used in meals. One food from each of the seven classes of foods should be used. To prevent malnutrition and absenteeism from vital war industries this film h as b een of great advantage. Harris Graves, a member of the chapter board of the Red Cross, and a senior, appeared in a newsreel about the Reel Cross. The pictures were taken of the Junior Red Cross activities at Camp Minnetonka, Minnesota. The Lancaster county chapter was represented by Harris Graves and Lois Hendrix at Camp Minnetonka.

The r eplica had to be made, as the Army wants the boys to get a cquainted w ith the compass in their map reading course and the compasses are a very s carce and a closely - guar ded gov ernment tool.

"Life out here in the Pacific isn't much different from back in the states, except I find it very hard to believe that it is winter back there, while we are out here baking in the sun and swimming on the beaches of beautiful Hawaii'', wrote R.M. 3/c Charles Erick!lon in a recent letter. After joining the navy in '44 he spent seven months in various schools in the states and then was sent to the Island of Maui in the territory of Hawaii. He said that i.f there were any boys in his outfit who believed everything they saw in the movies about Hawaiian girls wearing grass skirts and doing nothing but singing and strumming a sweet guitar, they were badly disappointed when they found out the truth about life in the Pacific Islands.

By Bill Kimball. These fourth quarter rallies in the recent basketball games with the Links are just the kind of thing that makes basketball the sport fans fill the stands to see more than any other sport. The Red and Black boys have been on the _top spot in most games>lowhere a rally decided who was to win. This was especiclly so in the recent Omaha Tech and Abraham Lincoln games. In the Tech game, Lebsack spurred the team on in that final· canto rally, dunking four fielders in the last few minutes of play. Hoffman also was playing above par in the winning comeback after the Links had been behind in the first three quarters. Bruce Bergquist put out with . some fine floor work last Friday night which added greately to sliding by the Abraham Lincoln clan in the last of the third and fourth quarters. Those drivein shots are paying off 311d somewhat to the bewilderment of the opponent teams. "Al" also found the range on some out-court shots the following night in the game against Kearney.

Bear Cats Prove Easy Catch For Red And Black Red and Black. cagers gained their ninth straight triumph Sat• urday as they slipped by a scrappy. but offensively weak Kearney quintet, 47-24. After Bud Gerlach capitalized on a gratias toss in the opening moments , the Links were never headed, and the closest the Bear· cats came to victory was when Del Wiegand tied the game up at one-all. Al Bergquist then showed the way to an 11-4 first quarter advantage. Scoring at ease, Boney Hoffman and Gayle Lebsack took over the scoring duties and the Links left the floor with a 23-7 halftime lead. Continuing their scoring ways the Red and Black aggregation ran up a 35-17 lead as Lyle Weyand sent in his second stringer, who held the Bearcats to a 37-19 count at the end of the third canto. Jack Deffenbaugh collected a pair, but Kearney capitalized on three free throws and Finstrom, ending the 'Cats scoring sent a 2-pointer through the meshes to make the count stand 41-24. From then on the Links coasted in to make it 47-24 as he squads went to the shower. Again showing the way was Gayle Lebsack, who topped the evening performers with 13 counters. Bergquist with 8, Gerlach and Hoffman taking 7 and 6 points respectively divided second honors and also turned in fine defensive games. Don Finstrom, with 7, led the visitors while Conway and Fiscus each countered five for the hapless Bearcats. The summary: Lincoln

Various members of the tentative cast, when asked their opinions of the play, gave the following statements: "I think the play is swell for high school students and adults alike because of the escapades the characters get into and the careless way in which they kick .around the English language."

Boys Addressed By Dr. Slutz · Youth Counselor Puts His Emphasis Upon High School Diploma Spokesman at an all-boy's assembly held Monday, February 19, was Dr. Frank Slutz, youth counselor in .Lincoln for the Hi-Y state conference. Dr. Slutz, former· Pueblo, Colo., s11perintendent of schools and Chicn go To?:L:hers Institut<e's ednc.:itional adviser, gave up his positions in 1932, that he might devote all of his time helping young people out of difficult situations and helping them to make the most of their lives. "A high school diploma is. an essential in post-war industry and commerce," emphasized Dr. Slutz. Re-emphasizing education, Dr. Slutz warned, "anybody who lets himself be caught after this war period without a diploma will find himself out on a limb." Since retiring, Dr. Slutz has spent his time traveling about the country to different schools and camps interviewing boys who are needfu.l of advice. In stating cases, he said thiilt all things are not what they first seem. As an example he told about a certain boy who puzzled s ch o o 1 officials by consistant truancies. Sent to speak to the boy, Dr. Slutz found him, although he was supposedly from a very happy family, watching over his distracted mother whom the boy had feared might commit suicide because of her husband's cruelties. Concluding the speech, Dr. Slutz observed, "The high school is the preparing ground for later years and all must be made of the advantages offered, and invited any boy who had a problem, large or small to get in touch with him so they might work it out together.

Retirement Is Before Solons
A retirement program for Nebraska school teachers, who have taught thirty-five years or reached sixty-five years of age, was re., ported out of the education committee Morfday, February 19, and will come before the unicameral legislature for a vote. The bill provides retirement benefits to be paid from two separate fund set-ups. (1) A time of service annuity which would give the teacher upon retirement $1 per month for each year served (a teacher who had taught 30 years would receive $30 per month when she reached 65 years of age). This fund would be paid for by an appropriation of state funds. (2) A savings annuity which would be made up of assessments of 5 per cent from each teacher's salary. When a teacher was retired the savings would be paid from the accumulation on an actuarial basis. If the teacher died before retirement the cash built up would go to the estate. If the teacher retired, the fund built up would re' vert to the individual. Dr. Archer Burnham, secretary of the Nebraska Educational association, explained that this proMrs. H. R.

Suggestions Given For High Spot
A park square has been selected by the Joy Night board of student council as the setting for Lincoln high's annual Joy Night production which will be staged April 19, 20 and 21. The actual title will be revealed at a later date. The scenery, although incomplete in details, will be drawn along lines similar to those of any park square, common to such large cities as New York and Chicago. Posters for Joy Night are being 'made by students in Miss Helen Wilson's art classes. Donna Krause, L. H. S. senior, has designed the scenery for the backdrop of Joy Night. Blanks for tryouts, which may be obtained from home room teachers or in room 305, are due today in room 305 by 4:00, Any blanks received later will not be accepted. Tomorrow after school a representative from each act will draw for a place in tryouts. Joy Night was first produced 20 years ago on April 17, 1925. Since that first performance, Joy Night has become a highlight of tlle L. H. S. entertainment season. Sites for Joy Night have been located in varied and colorful places. Among these are a New York pier, the Latin quarter in Paris, on the beach at Waikiki a circus, the moon, recreation center al an a ..my camp, and atop a hotel in Rio. The student council urges all s t ~ d e n t s, whether sophomores, Juniors or seniors, who have any talent, and who wish to try out for Joy Night, to be planning their acts now. The success of Joy Night is dependent upon the support of the entire school, and every act that tries out March 6 and 7 gives the show a better chance of being successful.

Three girls will be chosen as winners and three others given honorable mention at Lincoln high school. These six will be presented at the senior assembly. The three winners from Lincoln high and the three from each of the other two high schools entering the contest will be guests ot the Rotary . club for luncheon at the Cornhusker hotel about the .t hird week in May, All girls interested in entering are urged to get their material early due to its scarcity. Inexpensive and simple dresses in white or pastel colors are pre., ferred. The Rotary club sponsors this contest each year for the purpose of encouraging seniors to make their own graduation dresses.

Edna Safford, of the Army Nurse corps, in a letter to the Advocate thanking the students for the box she received at Christmas time. The pupils of Miss Murray's hygiene classes packed these boxes. "I truly appreciate each and every article in the box, and best of all I liked the Advocate I found tucked in the box. It brought back many memories to me of my days at Lincoln high." Lt.

Students' Thoughtlessness May Injure Own Friends Do people realize what danger may befall a person hit by a snowball? . They must not or they would not throw the snowball. The other night a student threw a snowball into the school bus and it hit a girl directly in the eye. The eye hurt badly all. the way home, but, luckily for the girl, her eye was not very seriously injured. What pleasure can anyone derive from this sport ? People have gone blind in an eye because they were hit by a snowball, thru no fault of their own, just by some irresponsible person. Some people throw snowballs straight into the bus thru apen windows ;and some inside, in turn throw at a nyone in the bus. Then ther e are still others who throw at t he bus as it passes. Many of the snowballs hit the windo_w glass which may shatter in 15nmecmes face and cau:;e ser ious -::onsequences. Another help to the transportation problem would be to line u p to get in the bus. The junior high pupils do it. Are we going to let younger people than us show the way? There are just so many seats in the bus and everyone is assured of getting on the bus. We all know it's crowded and can't be helped but if everyone would do his part, it would help greatly . Pushing in the aisle is unnecessary after the bus has started. This just adds to the discomfort and uproar that is already going on. Another helpful r eminder would be for the occupants of the bus to have r espect for t he bus driver. This person drives under a lot of pressure and everyone should help do his part. He deserves a lot of credit.
Hair Combing in Cafeteria Very Disagreeable Habit E veryon e knows, or everyone should kriow, t here is a time and place t o comb one's hair. The time, however, is not dur· ing lunch period and t he place is not in th e cafeteria. This is a h abit which is very unhealthful as well as unappetizing. You may or may not be aware of it, but it also shows a. lack of manners. And believe it or not, several boys in t heir class rooms have complained of girls combing their hair a nd have asked to be moved to another desk. Recently during the lunch periods 29 combs were well meaningly extracted from the hands of girls and taken to room 120. The girls were able to retrieve them after school. This will continue until everyone learns t hat combing the hair in the cafe· teria doesn't pay.
Pupils Diminishing Efforts To Collect Waste Paper Increase the quantity of paper collected during th e remaining m onths of the school year is t he popular cry. In December t he high school collect ed a little over two tons and in January about five ton&. In the drive just completed, the a mount is a little more than four tons, or to be exact, 8,250 pounds, picked up February 13. There were 44.14 tons of scr ap paper gather ed through the schools in December and January. This amount collected represents between seven and eight pounds per pupil city-wide. This is very close to the per pupil average in Lincoln high school. T he need for pa per is serious. Collect all you can t o contribute to the next paper drive. T he next paper drive will be held t he first week in March, so come prepared.

"Hands on hips, place one cup of flour on y~ur shoulder! raise knees and depress toes ; mix t~oro~y m one-half cup of milk, repeat six times. Inhale quickly one-half teaspoon of baking powder, lower the legs and mash two hard-boiled eggs in a sieve; exhale breath naturally and sift in a bowl. Attention! Lie flat on the floor and roll in the whites of two eggs backward and forward until it comes to a boil. In ten minutes remove from fire and rub smartly wit~ a rough towel. Breathe naturally, dress m warm flannels and serve with tomato soup.

Between the Book Ends By 'Naomi Solt. Claire Chennault!
Among the
great men to come out of this war surely B rigadier General Claire C hennault will rank hig h in f uture history. Claire Chennault was born in C ommerce, Texas, September 6, 1890. He loved to t ake fish ing trips down the T exas, rivers , go camping in t he swampland of Lou isiana, and to read h istory. He beca me so absorbed in the subject he wouldn't even hear his mother call him to eat. He received his elementa ry school tr aining in a small country school nea r his h ome, b ut he went to Louisian a Sta te University a nd Louisian a Stat e Nor mal College f or his higher e ducation. He w as teaching sch ool i n a small town in Louisiana w h en the first World War br oke out. After being commissioned a first lieutenant in the Infantry Reserve at Fort Benjamin Harrison, I ndian a, he transf erred to t he Aviation Section Sign al Reserve Corps where he saw active duty du ring the first World War. When he was asked by Gen eralissimo Chian g Kai- shek to come to China and be his aviation director, Claire Chennault consented gratefully. B ut t he Chinese a ir force was in such a muddle, he was on the verge of giving up when h e realized that the Chinese were goin g to have to fight an d they w ould need an air force t o do it. He came back to the states a nd recruited over 300 flyers and 200 me chanics a nd grease monkeys, organized into a group known u niversally as " the Flying Tigers." The heroic a dventures of this grou p of devil- maycare men will be related for years to come. Many of their interesting stories are included in S&m Min's boog, "Chennault of the F lying Tigers." Anyone i nterested in reading about o utstanding h eroes of his country and a llies w ill surely en joy this book to the utmost.

Her rea son for this is t h at too m any pupils la ck ability in these ph ases of music. Miss Dean believes there is a place an d an advantage for musical organizations in the sch ool, from chorus classes, glee clubs, choir , the octet and the quartet, t o the bands and orchestra. "You think more of boys being i n a band or orchestra, but good experience and enjoyment is an asset t o both the b oys a nd girls," she said. She also thinks that pu pils de· rive a certain sense. of responsibility, poise a nd satisfaction from p articipation in musical activites and performances in the school as well as in the community and church.

Girl Reserves Hear Speaker Mrs.. Agnes Harrison Of Local Beauty Shop Gives Grooming Tips "Beauty is not a gift, but it can be achieved," declared Mrs. Agn es S chmidt Harrison, manager of a local beauty shop at the second Girl R eserves meeting of the semester, Monday, February 19. "Just decide what you wa nt to be and go after it. Don' t copy someone else though. Be yourself ." Mrs. Harrison, better known t o girls as Miss Agnes, speaking on some of the latest beauty tricks in hairdo's and m a ke-up, continu ed t o say that health is one of the important . factors in being beautiful. After health comes cleanliness. This is the bases oi good grooming. "Nothing does more to give you confidence than b e in g well:. groomed," stated Miss Agnes. Regarding h ow a person should wash one's face to get it clean ;md also clear of any blemishes, she informed the group that using a wash cloth with plenty of soap in circular movements away fro m the nose is the best method. Girls a re in a h a bit of washing tow ard their noses, thus causing the blood to r ush to their nose and chin, so the sebaceous glands secret more tha n they should, thus causing c ases of acne around the nose and chin. Concerning the h ands, . Miss A gnes said that one should w ipe them ifs if putting on gloves a nd then push t he cu t icles back. T h is . h elps keep th e h ands nice lookin g. Miss A gnes closed her talk by showing the girls how to brush their h a ir and d emonstrated several h airdo's on different girls.

Links Down Falls ·City; Travel To Norfolk Friday Red And Black Show Way To Victory Over Tigers To Tune 41-18 Cagemen Are Victorious In Home Game
L.C.C.'s Golf Pro, Bud Williamson, Tells A bout Playing With Games' Greatest
Lashing out in the second half, Lincoln high's basket squad trounced Falls City on the Whittier hardwoods last Friday night, as the scoreboard rested 41-18 at the end of the fourth quarter. The score at the half was 1512 with the Links on top, although the Red and Black boys didn't grab a heavy lead in the first two quarters, they came back in the last half to outscore the F alls Citians 26-6, not allowing the visitors to tally once in the last nine minutes of play. Coach Lyle Weyand put substitutes in the game as the fourth quarter went by. Then Falls City attempted a final rally, but the second and third string basket'." men weren't to givP- way to a third quarter lead of 29-15, and allowed the visitors only three counters in the last quarter. Gayle Lebsack and Bud Gerlach each had five field goals but Lebsack added two gift tosses to his c.r edit which gave him high p oirit honors for the game with 12, pressed by Gerlach with 10. High point man for Falls City was Noll, forward, with 5 tallies. Box score is as follows: LINCOLN vi. FALLS CITY. F alls City. Lincoln. Browne t Gerlach f B a rtlett f A guirre t Lebs'k (c.)

Salts and Peppers Hold Joint Meeting
Although snow now blankets Nebraska's courses, golf season is just around the corner and to Bud Williamson, golf professional, the game occupies first place in his mind the year-round. When asked how he thought the present war would effect golf, Bud replied, "l feel that most of the pros will be set back and because of shortages the game will take a lull, but because many people, especially servicemen, are taking up the game, golf together with all sports is. due to take a tremendous upswing after the war!" Bud's first introduction to the game came when the caddy force at the local country club went on strike and Bud obliged his neighb ors plea for a caddy. As he waited for the neighbor to begin his round, Bud would take the -clubs out on. the practice green and while "fooling around" with them acquired a profound liking for the game. The next few years he was a regular caddy and at thirteen annexed his . first title, the Fort Wayne country club caddy championship. While working at the Indiana club, he caddied for Gene Sarazen, then assistant pro there, and from him he was able to pick up m any pointers. He also carried the clu\)s of Walter Hagen and crowd-pleaser Jim Barnes, then playing an exhibition there. After seasoning in the caddy tournaments, Bud began playing in city amateur tourneys and copped the title at 17 years of age and won · it again three times thereafter. At 18 he took first in the Indiana state junior tournament and at 20 turned professional, taking his first job at the Decatur, Indiana, club but after a brief stay moved back to Fort Wayne and worked at the local
.....
clubs for nine years. During his Decatur stay he finished second in the state open, which he, incidentally, tool<; top honors in four times. He also was victorious in the Indiana state P. G. A. tourney five times and finished second in the $!0,000 Miami Open, being nudged out in the final round when Sammy Snead fired a sizzling 64 to win by 2 strokes. T alking of Snead Bud averred, "If he had the judgment of Tagen, Sammy would be so far ahead of the r est- of the boys that they wouldn't be able to touch him and in spite. of his frequent lapses he is, in my opinion, the greatest golfer of all-time." While traveling in the tournament circuit Williamson "buddied around" with Snead an.d the two of them would often play exhibitions together. The genial pro also matched scores with Walter H agen, Byron Nelson, Jim Demarest, "Jug" .McSpade.n and mariy other top golfers, but the match he remembers best is when Tommy Armour and he stood Bobby Jones, golfdom's only four crown winner, and Leo Diegel, winning 2 up. Discussing his feelings before these important . matches he stated, "All golfers have that tenseness or nervousness . that preceeds the match, but this is really a blessing in disguise as it makes you more .c autious, so you are able to figure out better shots. This is true of all sports." After resigning his Fort Wayne job, Bud took over the reins of the Lincoln country club's golf activities and during his ·· threeyear stay in Lincoln he has annexed the Nebraska state open and late last summer traveled to Chicago arid took fourth place in the star-studded Tam O'Shanter na tional championships.
Lincoln cagemen did it again last Friday night to the Falls City aggregation. Although the beginning minutes of play showed promises of a close ball game the Red and Black quintet spurted ahead with a last half rally. The third and fourth periods seem to be the Links' time to shine, as in the last few games the deciding rallies have been staged after a comparatively evenly matched scoring column in the first two stanzas; Falls City was the Liriks' last home game of the season anti the last game away will be atNorfolk. Friday night. The recent snow storm both pleased and disappointed the Lin.coin .reserve hoopshooters, ·as although afternoon classes were dismissed, their game with Palmyra at Palmyra was called off on account of the weather. The reserves played their last game of the season Monday against Dorchester. The class C and D regional basketball tournaments will be played off this week, starting Wednesday, and the finals coming off on Friday and Saturday. In the capital city district, College View is given the odds over Ca:hedral by a large order. The tournament will be elimination and the district winners will play in the 'state finals March 15-17. Northeast has high hopes of crashing a defeat over Lincoln's head in their encounter, which is coming up in the district .tournament soon. They have banners and signs displayed in obvious places in their school to the effect of giving their cross-town opponents the boot in their · next game; On that night when the two top teams of the capitol city have it out as. to who will .g o on in the tournament and which team will be elimi,nated, Lincoln will be at its peak and there is no reason wh y the Link · boys won't repeat an important victory over the Rockets.

Junior Links· Rap Cathedral Showing a powerful offensive attack in the thfrd and fourth quarters, the Lincoin high reeerves racked up another victory over Cathedral high school 56 to 33. · The game was played Tuesday afternoon, February 20, at 3:30 in the C. Y. 0. After a slo~ start, · the. junior Links, soon · found the . range on the basket and managed to gather 56 points before ' the final gun. Bob )3rewer, who 1ed the Bluebird quint's offensive, started the scoring with a long sh ot frorri th~ middle of the floor.' After that the Links' seconds began to pull away arid led at the half time. Bill ·. · Wenke led the · ju~ior Links' · scoring par·ade with 13 points. tr{ addition to thi~, Wtmke also turned in a standout performance in the back court. Mariscal and Renken each hit for ten points to keep up their fine . averages for the season. Coming from behind in the last half, the Lincoln reserves . r olled over · Goehner at. the Irving gymnasium Thursday night, 35-21, to win their eleventh game of the season against one defeat. In a slow first quarter, although missing m.a ny shots, the reserves pulled ahead· 7-5 and, still unable to connect in the second quarter, they fell behind at halftime 14- 11. Coming back strong in the last half, the junior Links drove · to a 20-15 lead in the third quarter. Coach Worrall then sent in 6' 5" Bob Pierce who put in 14 points in the last quarter, to pull the reserves out of danger and turned a close ball game into an easy victory.

Irving Dana, '43, Recalls High Spot "I sure would like to be home walking in the snow again," was Irving Dana's comment in a letter to his aunt, Gladys E. Dana, art teacher in Lincoln high. Irving is stationed at Norman, Oklahoma, and has been there eleven w e e k s, contemplating fighting the Japs. During their field stor age train~ ing, he says, "We had more fun out in the woods out bf sight of the station. It was like being a civilian again." One amusing incident which happened during the field storage was the fact that. the Commander brought a group of officers out to see "the stow" but were unable to find it and had to be shown where it was. Recollections of the High Spot are brought to Irving's mind when he r eads about them in the Advocate. Serving -as home room representative, he well remembers the never ending work of the High S pot committee. Irving w ishes to tell all his teachers "hello" as school will propably not be in session when h e is h ome on leave. Besides being home room representative secretary, Irving was senior class vice- pr esident, serving on the Committee of 100, and a m ember of the Victory Corps. He received his football letter and was a member of the L club.

Inter-Denominational- Meeting in the STREET FLOOR
Lincoln basket lads close their season Friday as they invade the Norfolk auditorium in their last game before the district tournament. Norfolk being the only team in t.he state that has defeated the powerful Creighton Prep Five, should give the Links a battle. H owever it was badly beaten by Sioux City East on the Saturday night following the Links inva• sion on East's home court. Nor th• east also slipped by t he Panthers by one point a few weeks before meeting the Red and Black in the university coliseum. Mac Robinson, Norfolk ace , forward, who has pulled the Panthers out of m any a tight spot, suffered an arm injury early in the · first quartier of Sioux City, which has caused his absence from the Norfolk lirieup in previous games. Not much is known here of his condition now, but he is believed to be improving. Boney Hoffman and Al Berg- . quist are expected to appear in the backcourt, as Lebsack holds d own the pivot post, with Bud Berlach and Bill Browne at forward positions.

Little Birdie in Camera Makes Appearance "Watch the birdie, now look this way-hold . it-that's it; thanks a lot--don't move-I like this pose better." That's what some of us unlucky L. H. S. students went through at least once last week. Links pictures were taken of many clubs and organizations. So if you happened to see 'roups of studenf6 scampering up the hall and up the stairs to 403 any day after school, it was just probably the Girl Reserves, or maybe the Mummers, or even the Orpheons. Don't get excited, it comes only once a ycar.-Thank goodness.
When the photographer put the black cloth over his head to focus the . camera right, a girl in the second row exclaimed, "Oh go on-you can't scare me -1 know who you are."

Discuss Deterioration of Family Cycle; Social Worker's Statement Is Authority Family life deteriorating, is the latest topic being discussed in Mrs. Grace G. Hyatt's modern problems class. A sta tement reported by William Bennett Munro, Ph. D., L . L. R., profesor of municipal government, at Harvard university, as coming from a social · worker; siarted the discussion by showing how poverty running in a circl,.e is a factor in the problem. · "A child, is reared in a poo:,' home, is taken out of school an:i sent to work. at an early ;ige, ' quotes Professor Munro. ·" He drudges away, brings home every cent of his pay, is allowed to keep little or none of it, and gets no fol. out of life." . After a while he gets tired of this, he meets some girl wh.11 has
been brought up in the same way; they get married, but neither of them has saved any · money nor has the slightest idea of how to manage a home," the. report continues." "They rent a small flat, buy some furniture, and then find they are not able to pay for it. They get ·int;> debt and, when the wifo falls sick or the husband is out of work, there is nothing to eat." "When children come, they grow up on improper nourishment; they are slapped in the face and scolded at all hours; they get no home training and very little schooling." "As soon as they are able to earn a few dollars a week, they are taken out of school and put to work," concluded Professor Munro, "and thus history repeats itself."
With junior play practices being held every night after school from 3:10 until 5:30, the play is well underway. Although these practices are the most important step on the 1ciad to a successful presentation .:if the play, several other jobs must be accomplished before it is possible to present the play. Junior play committees are now being formed which will assume some of these responsibilities. The tentative members of these committees have been announced, although the committees are not yet completely formed. Various committees and their members are as follows: Property committee - Evelyn Jaeger, chairman, Alice Babst and Eleda Starch. Advertising - Bruce Bergquist, chairman, Bob Bartlett, Dorothy Borgens, Jack Campbell and Dick Russell. Assembly - Mary Sue Holland, chairman, Mary Aitken, Roberta Bauman, Evelyn Jaeger and Bill Wenke. Costume manager - Sally Turner. Business manager - Edward Carter.
Choir Presents Vesper Selections The choir presented a group of selections; some sacred, and some secular, to the student body in a double assembly last Friday. The first of these was a Polish number entitled "Prayer," arranged by Don Malin. Following this, the choir sang two selections, one a Russian melody, arranged by Mr. Howarth, "Holy, Holy, Holy," and an early American "Revival Song" by Don Malin. Hugh Rangeler, director of the choir, then invited all students to the Sunday afternoon concert, the third of a series of vesper concerts presented by the L. H. S. choir, which started at 3 o'clock, and asked them to b r ing their parents · and friends, also. Following Mr. Rangeler's invita· tion, the choir concluded their program with a river dock-hand song by Nobel Cain, "Tell Me Where Was Ya" a patriotic number, "Hymnus" by Harley, and the ever popular negro spiritual, "Deep River," arranged by Priv-. leigeh.

Is It Too .~ust Trouble To Help Win This War? As everyone knows, our school sponsors a paper drive at least once a month. Why can't the pupils wake up and do their bit? When each one starts doing his sh are, in.stead of leaving it to the other fellow, we should have a record to be proud of. If you could listen to some of the excuses that pupils give for not bringing paper, you would not only be ash amed of them , but utterly disgusted with them. You' re tired? That's too bad. Possibly you h aven't had more than nine hours of sleep. If you had less, you, of course, were forced t o s tay out last night. So you're tired-how would you like t o spend a night in a foxhole filled with ice, snow or mud -and the noise of guns and bombs overhead-perhaps even a fe w dead buddies lying around you ? Yes, you're tired, you only had nine hours of sleep in a nice, warm soft bed, with clean blankets and a bsolute 4 ui~~ ~X'""'C;pt. :.:.: ~.::..~;:~ ...:. ~~(·I° -~: . ·: so~~J.t..~ , ~ ~- ~ ~.- : ,: chirping in th8 morni n:;·. You really have it pretty h ard and it' s true that carrying the papers a few blocks may tire you a lit tle. Your little sister or brother brought it all? No one has brought in all the scrap p aper in t he city--our record proves it. But then you might have to " bother" with going over to the neighbors and even do something as drastic as t ie it u p a nd deliver it to school. My, that really is hard work compared with loading bombs and delivering t hem t o Germany and J apan. You forgot the paper ? That's a fine thing. When a sailor is order ed to load a t or pedo he doesn't forget it. The r eason he doesn't forget isn't a matter of personal gain either- he's thinking of me and you . Rem ember, this is addressed to you . The person whose face you see when you look in the mirror. Not the fellow on your r ight , not the fellow on your left. Not t he f ellow in front of you or the fellow behind you- but you! No, there r eally is no good excuse for forgetting that waste paper during a scrap drive. Especially when it's for such a good cause. The boys "over there" do so much for us, can't we do just a little for them ?
Nebraska Has Fascinating Changes in I ts Weather Some people swear by the weather in Califo rnia and Florida, and others prefer the climate in the New England states. But where, oh where , can you get the variety you have in Nebraska? Since first grade we have been taught to r emember the blizzard of '88 and the drouths the pioneer s h ad in summer . Per haps these old stories h ave made some people prejudiced becau se you seldom hear a person say, "The climat e in Nebraska is the best in the world!" N ow what is the climate of this fai r state? Varied ? What does it vary from ? Hot a nd cold ? Really that's only half of it. Where else in the world could school children be roller skating with out coats in F ebruary and s oon after get out of school because of a heavy, blowing sn ow. And in the s ummertime people are drowsy from humid tropical weather, while the next day hail st ones, the size of pebbles, m ay pile up. It's more tha n once that people haven't been able to see t he st ate capit ol from a few blocks dist ance because of a London-like fog. All this k eeps the weather from get ting dull a nd r eally makes weather a t opic of conversation. Nebraska may not have the best cli· m ate in the world, but surely ther e is none e>ther like it.

F eature admired most in girls : Pretty hair. Best boy friend: "I've several. Favorite actress: Betty Grable. Pet peeve : Silly women. What do you like t o do on a date: Usu al thing . .

Between the Book Ends By NAOMI SOLT. "Crazy Weather by Charles McNichols i..: 2. ~•.1·0.ng·~ co1nb ination of w eath er ar:.d man. If yoci h ave n ev er been to th e · v alley of t he Colorado river when this stran ge q uirk · of nat ure comes about, I can truthfully say y ou have never encoun tered " Cra zy Weather." T he weather in t his story w as a spell of Arizon a heat when t he thermometer ou tside the out- kitchen registered 114 degrees even at seven a. m . Mr. McNich ols' book is center ed around South Boy , a you ng American boy who lives in the Mojave Indian country of Arizona. South Boy's mother is on the Pacific cbast because of bad health, but every time she is home she t ries to impress u pon h er son that he should go away tc s chool and l earn to be a minister. Not sharing h is wife's views, h is father, who is up north ouying cattle, wants him to stay on the ranch and ta ke more r esponsibility in it. While h is parents are trying to decide what to do with h im, the crazy weather come s a long. Dur ing these fo ur days ef unbea rable heat South Boy joins a Mojave Indian friend, Han ek, and goes t o fight in t he war again st t h e Piu tes . F inally after those four torrid days, the h ea t wave broKe a11d South Boy the n turned homeward realizing he h a d lost his boyhood and had grown into a m an. This story · of crazy weather takes you back to "Th e L au gh. ing Boy" by La Farge a nd "The Oregon Trail" b y Parkman be· cause McN ich ols has a technique for w r iting Indian lore and is an ou tstandin g story teller. If y ou · like a m ovie thriller packed with cow boys an d Indians, t h en you 'll surely like "Crazy Wea t h er" by Ch ar les M cNichols.
Donald Gish Writes 'History' to Win Second Place in Writers Club Contest In the fifth century _B . C., Persia was facing a n ational crisis . Darius I, t he k ing, had wisely a ppropria ted large funds for the fou nding of old m a id's h omes. H e t hough t that in doi ng so he would make life enj oyable for these forgot ten individua ls.' For lack of a nything better to do, these spinsters originated . that well known pastime of writing alphabet r hymes. This was extremely interesting and enjoyable to t he old maids who found an Utop ian form of life in dec iding if "A" is for " apple" or "an imal," and so forth . Daruis was very pleased with himself. He was exalting over t his great p iece of civil betterment one day w hen an excited messenger ran into t he r oyal palace a nd ann ounced the fatal news. The alpha bet rhymers had fin ally reached a seemingly imp enet rable barrier. It was t h e unanim ous opinion that "W" is for "Wart-h og," bu t wh at, t hey asked, w as a word beginn ing with "X." Unless an answer w as given r evolution was threaten ed .
"Gee! I'm excited." "Do you think we'll get in?" " Oh Mary, quit chewing your fingernails !" These were ju st three o f th e r e• marks made backstage wh ile waiting t o face t he j udges during the first night of Joy night trycuts. The agony of t he contesta n ts was evident as t h ey waited for their cue to enter for the big m om ent!! ! The solemn faces of t he jud ges ( well- they tried to be sober ) while the various con• testa nts tried out attested to t he gravity of the affair. F or as ever y loy al L. H. S. st udent w ell knows-Joy n ight is a t op attraction L . H . S. offers each y ear. Thu s ever y year the s t uden t council trys t o make it bigger and better.
Big Black Object Spanish American Offers Amusement War Veteran Has While Miss Ethel Murray w as Many Memories out of the room, the girls in h er first period hygiene class were q uietly studying, w h en one of t he girls noticed a big black object appear ~t a sou th window. The class looked up and discovered it to b e a big fat, friendly Scottie dog. It looked so eager (for knowledge?) ihat one 0 1 t h e girls opened t h e wind ow and gen tly carried h im to the floor. Now he was h appy and paid each girl in t he class. a v isit. "He wants a dr ink ," "Oh look , h e's t hirsty," echoed from t wo classmates. One of the girls took it upon herself to give the dog a drink. She s ecured an empty cream bottle, filled it wit h wat er and set it before the dog. The visitor drank enough to appease his thirst and a little while later left the room .
Question of the Week seems that just a bout every L. H. S. student ·h as the picture of a " dream girl" or "dream boy" tucked away in his or h er mind.

Peggy Ellis "Tall and blond,"she s ighed, pulling out a picture of Dick Pickett. Bob l\lcConau ghey-"All I've ever met a re nightma r es!" Ann J ean ette Smith- "A tall dark and h andsome sailor !"

Stumped at this problem, Darius called for th e services of his allu rin g w ife, Atossa, who h ad r ecently given birth to t heir son Z erkzees. Failing t o find a copy of .W ebster's D ictionary, as Mr. Webster had negligently failed t o be born a t this tim e, the k ing and q ueen decided it was up to them to t hink of a word beginn ing w ith "X " to 'save their kin gdom. Finally at the cr itical m oment, as the pala ce gates were being destroyed by t he u nmarried proletarians, Da r iu s hi t upon an idea. Why not .change his son's name Xerxes? Having r ecovered from h is brainstorm, Darius walked onto t he balcony an d announced to the irated populace that he had found a word beginning with "X." Because th e kingdom had already formed the habit of cal!ing the pr ince Zerk eesz, they r eta ined th e pronunciation \Vith t he revised spelling. Thus en ded the crisis of Dar ius who ruled tranquilly for h is remaining years. This ends the story of the st udents' dilemma, or " Why is Zerkees spelled with an "X?"

Second Overtime Too Much For Red And .Black
Taking a defeat by 33-31 in t wo overtime periods from a · harddri vi ng Norfolk five, getting stranded there due to a blizzard, developing a few cases of indigestion and having car trouble on the way home, were a few of the factors that helped to make the Links trip to Norfolk last weekend one of the most unsuc• cessful in Red and Black his• tory. Friday, the second, seemed as if it was Friday, the thirteenth, to the Links, as they were defeated in two overtimes, the second of which was "sudden death," that i': the first team to score wins. The Links jumped into a first quarter lead of 10- 6. Lebsack, breaking in toward the basket, ac• counted for the greater percent• age of ihe buck ets in the initial canto r ally and was the main standby for the Links in the remaining game time. Links Cold Second Quarter. A colrl second quarter proved to be tc:>o much for the Red a nd :Black as they retired to the locker rooms on the short end 13-11. Only a free throw was scored by Weyand's boys in this period. The Panthers, sparked by their halftime lead, drove on to out• score Lincoln 10-6, starting the fourth quar ter with a count ad· vantage of 23-17. Pilger, P anther forwa!"d, and Busskohl led the atta ck. The Links fought their way to within three points in final minutes of play when a Panther pass was intercepted a nd "Leb" dribbled in, only t o collide with a Norfolk guard. A double foul was called ~.nd the cool blonde forwan'i ~:3nk his char ity toss. The Norfolk guard fa iled to convert, bringing t he Links up to a 29- 27 count with less than 40 seconds t o go. After the double foul the ball was put into play on a j ump ball in the center of the court. Argument Over Charity Toss. A dispute arose when Bon ey Hoffman was fouled just at the final bTJzzer, as to whether h e was fouled before or after- the overtime w as ove r. It was de· cided that Boney was fouled after, so the score r emained 31-31. The second overtime w as to be "sudden death." The Links took the tip-off, followed by a onehander by Bob Olmstead that rolled around the rim and then rolled out. Br owne then got the re- bound and shot two heart breakers. The P ant hers t hen took possession of the ball. P ilger, ace Norfolk for ward, followed a wild shot, took the re-bound and laid in the winning basket, ending the ga m e 33-31.

Because there were no home study assignments made Thursday, all books were left at school and almost all students brought at least the weight of their books in paper, while the majority brought more. There were very few who did not participate in this drive. The total number of pounds for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday was 38,000. The home room that brought the most paper was 103 with a total of 3,457 pounds. Kenneth Beaman, with the help of Robert Becker and Arthur Bloyd, brought in 3,000 pounds of that total. Twelve H.R. Participate 100%. The home rooms who were 100 percent in participation were 314, 107, 105, 132, 316, 201, 209, 213, 136, 321, 133, and 109. Home rooms that had all but one taking part in the drive were 217, 101, 313, 208, 116, 203, 307, 305, 401, and 402. These home rooms brought over 1,000 pounds: 226 with 1,240, 312 with 1,157 pounds, 205 with 1,1201h pounds, 109 with 1,096 pounds, 400 with 1,019 pounds, and 305 with 1,015Ih ·pounds.

Moet Enthusiastic Response. This drive had the most enthusiastic response of all the preceding drives. There were more cars volunteered by both teachers and pupils than were needed. The war committee appreciated the response to their call for extra
cars. There will be' two more paper drives so pupils should keep on aavlng their paper. If at any time it is more convenient for a stud ent to bring paper in b etween drives, he may take it to the basement where there is a place reserved for waste paper. Pupils are urged to clean out their n otebooks and lockers for t he nex t drive which will be in the middle of April, after vacation, ~o every pupil will be able to bring even more waste paper. "The war committee appreciates the way both students a nd faculty responded in the March drive," said Miss Mildred Kemp, chairman of the war committee. "Very few students came on Friday without paper. We also appreciate the fine work of the students on the committee."
Joy Night Tryouts Held Reported by the judges as the most promising in many years, Joy Night tryouts were held March 6 and 7, with 52 acts competing for a place in Lincoln high's annual variety show, which will be presented April 19, 20 and 21 in the auditorium. Of these, 19 were vocal acts, 8 piano, 4 instrumental other than piano, 6 . comedy, 8 dancing, and 8 miscefianeous. Only 3 of the 55 acts which turned in applications failed to try out, and one of these was combined with another act. This was considered very good. Each act was not ified la st Mond ay whether or not it h ad been accepted. Eighteen acts were chosen, which along with the boys glee and girls . glee acts, which open and · close the show, make a total of 20 acts. Miss Marguerite Gundermann, who has been a judge at tryouts for about 6 years, said, "Tryouts were unusually good and there was m uch variety. It was very hard to make a selection." Herb Gish, student council member, decided that, judging by t ryouts, the final show ought to be one of the best Joy Nights yet.
Gish Relates Yalta Results In. his Faulkner s peech, "The Crimean Conference," with the war as a theme, Donald Gish stated that a fter the Teheran conference in 1943 many periodicals were a bit embarrassed, when a ftu 1-,av;;-.,:; ]Jr<1iscd the conf<'rence h ighly, they awoke to the realization that they had never known exactly what the r esults had been. "With the Crimean conference," he contended,. "it is different. We know a great deal about what happened there and of its importance. "The announced results of the conference can readily be divided into three categories: those clearly good, those that are dubious, and those that are bad." Donald declared that among t he good results are: that t he Big Three continue to solve their problems somehow, the invitation to France to participate both in the occupation and control of Germany, the invitation t o Fr ance and China to j oin in sponsoring the United Nations conference, that the intention to punish war criminals was reaffirmed, t hat the eastern boundary of Poland was established, and finally that the leading allies be kept in closer contact with each other. In conclusion he said, "The r esults of the conference should disprove a ssertions that the president is a "y es- man" ior his two formidable colleagues. The agreements announced b ear out e arlier hints that a more positive American policy had been adopted. The Yalta conference has m ade some definite progress for which we ca n be grateful. Now that the ground work has been set, it remains for us to do our part by figh tin g, thrugh every means at our command, for a decent peace and a decent world after the peace."

Park Square Nickname Is New Joy Night Theme "Bughouse Square" has been announced as the title for Joy Night following the announcement of the theme several weeks aio. The title was suggested by Miss Dorcas Weatherby of the Joy Night board, who also suggested last year's title, "Floggee Street." "Bughouse Square" is actually a nickname given to a . certain park sq11are in Chicago, which is noted for the "unusual" speeches given t her e by " soap-box orators" and "long haired fanatics." However, the scene is not s upposed to t ypify Chicago, more than any other large city.

Rejected Joy Night Acts Make Good Assemblies Now that Joy Night try-outs are over, and each act that tried out has been notified of its fate, there will naturally be many disappointed pupils around school. Unfortunately not even half of the acts, all of which undoubtedly took much time and effort in their preparation, can be accepted for the final show. The judges' decision is always a hard one to make, because although not all the acts are superior, there are many excellent acts which have to be left out. It is unfortunate that the students who have talent and give time to their acts, of necessity must be left out. In a way this seems unfair and one answer to this problem might be one or several all student assemblies, composed of acts which did not make Joy Night. One argument against this type of as• sembly, which is always popular, is that it takes too long to prepare. In this case, however, this difficulty would be overcome since the acts would be already prepared. In this way a student would gain some recognition and, although it is not the s?.:tr..0 as bemg in Joy Night, it would in some way compensate for the effort made. Even this could not take care of all the acts, but it would help a little. The student council would probably be too busy with Joy Night, itself, to sponsor such an assembly, but a special committee might be formed to do so, or it might even be sponsored by the home room representatives. This plan might provide at least a temporary solution.

Home Alone In the Dark
Recently a Lincoln high girl, while walking home in the dark was hit over the head, but not knocked unconscious. She screamed and the assailant ran away. It was necessary for her to have 14 stitches taken in her head. So girls, do be careful! · Girls should try to avoid walking home, or from place to place, by themselves after dark. Sometimes it may be best that a girl refuse an invitation to any place, unless she is assured of company on the way back, or a ride home. Even university girls have been urged to go to and from the library in groups of three or four when night study is necessary. Think about the return trip home at night before going out.

"W earin' of the Green" Saturday To Be Seen Some may forget it, but the Irish won't be forgetting it. Saturday, March 17, is St. Patrick's day. St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was the one who was supposed to have driven the snakes out of Ire. land by charming them with his music so that they followed him to the seashores where they were driven into the water and drowned. One may tell the Irish in you by the " wearin' of the green," but there are those who aren't Irish and still wear the green for spirit. On St. Patrick's day, one will notice the g-reen shown in various ways, Some will wear kelly green articles of clothing; some will be seen wearing various green novelties; and last but not least, green shamrocks pinned to lapels will be frequently noticed. St. Patr ick is still reversed and remembered.

Present Paper Shortage Results in the Tightening Up of Newspaper Stories "As a result of t he present critical shortage of paper, t h e newspaper h as had a general tightening u p of stories," Miss Helen Hayes, r eporter and feature writer on t h e Journal staff, said. Stories are now shorter and more compact, which she believes is a good thing, for border-line stories which weren't really news, before, but were put in to fill space, are now ignored. . "Lincoln can look forward to a very good future in air travel," stated Miss H ayes. "One of the vice-presidents of United Air lines with whom I talked after h is engagement at the chamber of commerce, said that when the Army has finished with t he Lincoln air base the United Air lines will b e ready to t ake. over. And with all the runways built by t he Army they will be able to l and their largest passenger planes."
"The usual number of repor ters for the Journal is abou t ten for the evening paper and four to take care of t he morning edition, which it has now. About a year ago the number dropped far below this and made it a very busy place for those few left," stated Miss Hayes. The Journal also has many reporters overseas with the Army or as correspon dents, such persons as Captain Barney Oldfield and Captain H aydon. "Reporters not only have t o fin d news and cover the story but they also carry on correspondence and do research for editors such as for the society editor, in looking up biographies," commented Miss H ayes. "And when emergency stories come up, like the F urr fire, if not enou gh r eporter s are on hand, they just call them out of bed."

Choir Presents Vesper Recital to Junior High
Flock of Ducks Is Picture of Week
Lincoln high school choir journeyed to the Everett junior h igh school Fr iday, March 9, where· it gave a program consisting of the songs in the vesper concert held March 4 . These songs are as follows: "A Polish Prayer," "H oly, Holy, Holy," "Revival Song," "Tell Me, Where Was You," "Hymnus," and the negro spiritual , "Deep River." Hugh Rangeler, director, declared that the a udience was more responsive than when the choir presented the double assembly at Lin coln high.
A flock of ducks and one of the . small lakes at P ioneers park fur• n ished the setting for the "Picture of the Week" posted on the bulletin board near the office. T4e p icture was taken on a summer's day and the loud quacking of t he ducks provided the proper atmosphere. According t o Betty Lou Bedell. who t ook t he picture, being able to snap the ducks when they were together proved to be the h ardest accomplishment. An Argus C2, 35 millimeter camera was used t o take the picture.
French Language Proves Valuable "To say I find the French I learned as your student useful would be a n understatement. It has opened wide the gates of French hospitality for m e," wrote Paul Rehmar, '40, in response to a letter he received from Miss Annetbi Sprung. "Yes, I think I may have some interesting tales to tell you on m y retu rn. I find th at France, even though it is wearing war scars, is as beautiful as you used t o say. Very fortunately for me, I have visited Marseille, seen and lived in magnificent Chatreaux, explored a medieval castle, and met some very nice people. The people for the most part have been courteous and friendly," Pfc. R ehmar continued. Telling about the family he was staying with, Pfc. Rehmar told home he had been tutoring the two girls in English a nd how quickly they learned. While attending L incoln h igh, Paul was advertising manager for the Advocate, a member of the Mimes, in the ca st of "You and I ," and a member of the national honor society.
Special Meetings Held by H.R.R. To explain the changes in the March paper drive, a special meeting of the home room representatives was called on March 5. Don Bryant made the war committee report and told the representatives to list on the blackboard names of all persons w ho bring paper. Also he pointed out how to fill out on a c ard t he estimated weight of the paper a certain individual brings. Since many students have paper to bring. to school, but have no way t o get it h ere, car s were arranged to pick it up at a convenient place both for the driver and contributor. Pupils who wish t o. help the collection by p icking up some contributors on their regujar route to school were asked to fill out a blank which the home room representatives could secure.

Juliet found her Romeo in "Lincoln" in the sketch presented by the Peppers in a double assembly Thursday, March 8, for the district basketball tournament. The Salts made their first appearance in assembly, and the new song, "We're for Lincoln," by Roma Johnson was introduced by Hugh Rangeler, the band and the combined "pep" clubs. The sketch, written by Kay Darlington, was a streamlined version of "Romeo and Juliet." Juliet's lovers were introduced by six pages, who presented her with calling cards: Nebraska City, Jean Woodworth; Fairbury, Phyl lis Harris; Falls City, Jo Jen Loder; Beatrice, Barbara Mohler; Northeast, Dorothy Borgens; and Lincoln, Peggy Ellis. The lovers: Pat Felger, Pat Meyer, Ann Tou Velle, Lois Umberger and Lorraine Beldin, who represented the different teams in the tournament, were all rejected in succession by Juliet. The last wooer was introduced by the Lincoln page carrying two bobby socks, and Lincoln, Ann "Frankie" Randolph, was Juliet's choice.
These tests will be given Monday and Tuesday, March 26 and 27, in room 326. The following is the schedule: March 26, 9:00 a. m.: Psychological examinations (2 hrs.) March 26, 2:00 p. m.: Mental ability ( 35 min.) March 27, 9:00 a. m.: General Culture (2 hrs.)

Lincoln Gains Cagers· Roll Over Rockets; Beatrice Falls City Sunk Rout Falls City 'In Final Game
Northeast Falls In Initial Game
Making a clean sweep of the Class A district .tournament, the Links romped over a game Falls City 1quad 44-16 in an afternoon meeting on the Ag college court Saturday. Originally scheduled for. Saturday evening, the fracas was moved up to accommodate· the fans wishing to see the L. A. A. F. Wings-Alexandria (La.) Bombers play that night. Paced by Lebsack, Browne, and .Aguirre, the Red · and Black racked up an eight point lead before the Tigers' Larry Noll notched a fielder as the first canto ended. Beginning the second quarter, Boney Hoffman found the hoop and sifted in a pair which, together with buckets by Lebsack and Aguirre, more than neutralized the six points which the Falls Citians countered. The halftime count stood 19-8. Browne· and Gerlach added a pair before heading for the bench, as the second stringers took the . floor. Continuing the scoring ways, Bob Hubbell made good on a gratis toss and then tallied five m ore points to lead the way to a 31-11 third quarter reading. Bob Bartlett hit from the side while Norm Walt connected with a one-hander fo lengthen the margin, and Aguirr e also nailed one as the game turned into a rout. Shifty sub Ray Aguirre tucked away 8 points to gain scoring honors, while Lebsack and Hoffman each came up with seven for their afternoon's contribution. The rest of the scoring was spaced ev enly between Hubbell, Browne and Gerlach who notched 6, 5, 5 points respectively. Browne and Hoffman turned in the top floor performances. The summary:
T h e Links cagers knocked Northeast out of state championship competition Thursday night when they whittled ·the Black and White down to a score of 31-20. It was the second game in the opening round of the district tourney at the college of agriculture. Fairbury nosed out Ne• braska City in the evening opener. A slow first quarter showed Christensen scoring a pair of free throws for the Rockets. Bergquist then made . good on another charity toss which was followed by a tip-in by the Links ace scorer, Lebsack, putting the Red and Black in a lead which was h eld for the r emainder of the game. Second quarter action started fast as Gillispie broke down the floor t o make on a setup; The score, 7~6, was as close as Northeast come to threatening the Lincoln lead.

Lincoln verified its superiority over the Rockets last Thursday night as .it dropped Northeast 3120. Not that the Ag College gymnasium was crowded, but 1,800 fans saw the game in the gymnasium which has a capacity of 1,200, and t here were quite a few who didn't think it was worth the pushing and shoving at the entrance to see the game. Coach Weyand didn't do much substituting in that all important game, as the Rockets pressed the Links all the way. Gayle Lebsack took high score honors with 15. Beatrice didn't give the Links any trouble as the Red and Black basketmen came out on top 4321. "Lebby" again grabbed off high point honors with 13 counters. Saturday afternoon the Links went on to prove their superiority by drowning out Falls City, for the second time this season, by a score of 44-16. There w as quite a lot of substituting for the Links, as they held a good lead during the entire gam e. Ray Agurrie, .second string forward, saw plenty of action and copped high point honors with 8 points, followed by Lebsack and "Boney" Hoffman with 7 each. Bill.Browne was ace defensive man, while Lebsack, Hoffman and Gerlach frequented .the scoring column. Bruce Bergquist showed up with outstanding offensive floor work. In · the Omaha tournament, Creirhton Prep took top honors after dropping North and Benson In the district tournament. Prep will be the blrgest threat in the state tournament and will give the Links a lot to worry about. Omaha Benson took Central in the semifinals. McCook upset Scottsbluff 41-3'7 In the McCook reglimals as Norfolk pulled down the Columbus district crown, dropping Grand Island 35-29.
Links .Humble Orangemen In Semi-final Mix Qualifying for the state tournament, the Links dropped a weak Beatrice t eam 43-21, Friday n ight at Ag college. With L ebsack dropping a one-hander in, the Red and Black took a lead it n ever relinquished, and, h olding Beatrice to free throws, Lincoln d rove to a 10- 3 margin at the quarter. Although Beatrice started to come to life, the Links, with reserves in, maintained their scoring pace and left the court at half time with · a 21 -11 lead. Coach Weyand's five, with Hoffman leading the way, put an end to Beatrice' hopes they took a 33-12 lead in the third canto, h olding the Orange and Black to a single free throw. With Coach Weyand u sing his r eserves to advantage in the last quarter, t he Links continued to pile up the score.

Lebsack Tops Links Scorers In Tourney Sub Aguirre Shines In Last Two Games S corin g laurels for the district tournament March 8, 9 and 10 go to Lincoln high's h igh- scoring center Gayle Lebsack. Gathering a grand total of 34 points, Lebsack led the Black and Red to the class A district tournament championship played at Ag college. In the defensive department the Links' two crack guards, Al Berqui:;:t and Boney Hoffman, take top honors. Bill Browne and John Gerlach also turned in brilliant performa nces from their forward positions. Substitutes played a good share of the Beatrice and Fall City games and most of them managed to hit the scoring column. Little Ray Aguirre swished the meshes for 16 points to lead the Links subs.

New Champion To Be Crowned
Reserves End Cage Wars Success£ully Powerful Greenwood Quintet Administers Year's Only Setback Winning 14 out of 15 games, the 1944-'45 Linc.oln reserves finished the season with one of the best, if not the best record in L. H. S. r eserve basketball h istory. The junior Links received their only setback against undefeated Greenwood who has qualified for the state tournament, and who now has won 30 straight games. The squad was hit by hard luck all year and against Greenwood, t wo regulars w ere out. Jack Deffenbaugh, first team center, was moved up to the varsity at the start of the second semester and Russell Spadt, who t ook over th e center post, smashed his hand before the Northeast game and was out for the rest of the season. Duane Grady, starting guard, was out during mid-season due to an infected ear and also missed the last four games.
In Gregg McBride's column, from a recent World Herald, it was shown how mixed up the basketball season could become. McBride wrote, talking about how screwy the basketball dopesheet may become, take for example the following: Creighton Prep, who is No. 1 in the state, was beaten by Norfolk, Lincoln Northeast beat Norfolk, Grand Island beat Northeast, Geneva. beat Grand Island, Wilber beat Geneva, Milford bea t Wilber, Goehner ·beat Milford, and Lincoln reserves b e a t Goehner handily. So the Links' subs appear to have at least a statistical claim to sta.t.c honori;.

A. find the Links matched against the strong Scottsbluff Bear cats. In their two previous meetings, in mid-December, the two aggre• gations broke even as t he pan• handle club slipped by the capital city quintet 36-31, but the Weyandmen came back strong the next night and paced by Gayle Lebsack's 17 points, rolled oyer the Bearcats 50-30. In their district tourney at Mc• Cook, Scottsbluff flattened Alliance 42-12 and bumped Nort h Platte 52-22, but st umbled in the finals and were upset by the ·host club 41-37 in a t orrid overtime battle. The Bearcats took the 1941 state title, tr ipping F r emont in the finals, and will rely on much the same team which split w ith the Links during the Christmas holidays to annex their second title. Shifty Merle Crook has led th.e 'Bluffers in most of this season's encounters a nd will be the man to watch . in Thursday's clash. Favored Creighton Prep drew Falls City and if it gets b y t his meeting will take on the winn er of the McCook-Grand Isla nd mix. The Junior Jays h ave an impres.. sive season record, besides gar• n ering the Omaha district title.

teams have formidable records, so a nythin g could happen. Norfolk dropped the Links in the r egular season's finale in a game featured by two over-times, and went on to win t heir regional tournament. Besides dropping last year's state t ourney r unners- up, t he Columbus Discoverers, 42-19, they also snared a victory from an improving Gra nd Island club. The Red a nd Black have been victorious in 11 out of the past 34 tou rneys to hold the best rec• ord in the state, but this year's affair will t ake a hot club to stem the tide of pla ying thr ee tough games in a row. The Links were seeded along with the Prep Hillt oppers, Norfolk, and McCook while the other four teams drew for bracket positions. Defending Champion Dropped In this meet a ·new champion will be crowned, as last years title holder, Omaha South, was ousted from t he Omaha district tourney b y a hot~and-cold Omaha North five. Class B finds the defen dini champion, York, back for another crack at t he title, w hile C classes• champ, Wakefield, will also attempt a double win, gaining some opposition from College View. Hildreth is back .in class D, but Greenwoods' mighty squad, only . conqueror of Lincolns' reserves, holds .the favored spot. A capacity .c rowd is · expected for all th r ee ·nights, so pupils ar e advised to buy tickets early and head for the coliseu m to help boost the Links to a state-cham• pionship.

Why Should There Be So Many Reasons For Tardiness Why are pupils late to school? There may be various reasons but most of them are not very plausible. Many have the excuse of waking up late or the alarm didn't go off or some other feeble explanation. If people will go to bed earlier, they may be . able to get up earlier, and most people don't need an alarm clock to wake them up; they wake up mechanically every morning. Another unpopular fellow is he who has to walk his girl to home room and talk to her until two seconds before the 8 :40 bell and then make a road dash for home home, with a tardy result to be chalked up throughout the week. How may a home room that enrolls these characters ever earn a prompt pennant? It is an honor to win a prompt pennant and only conscientious home rooms do, while only some very few home rooms display the large monthly f'L '.)Ul:fi~ f-:)1lU<:l.Ilt.
Those of us who are lax in our standards need to make a better effort to be on time and establish while young habits of promptness which develop character.
Sophisticated Playgoers Appreciate Good Production They would have hissed s~ch ~ehavior in Paris theaters! The quest10n is what should we do to bad mannered individuals in Lincoln high school. theater audiences. Remember the play, "The House Without a Key," given by the senior class !ast ~e mester?? As the curtain rose, the first significant moments were lost in gales of student laughter. · As the play progressed with clues hanging on any word that might be spoken, student laughter drowned whole sentences! Of course, the play was a mystery, so, was the conduct of the student audience. Two weeks ago, a motion picture version of "Romeo and Juliet" was shown to the stude:Q.t body. One of the world's g~eat.est love stories, and dramatic from begmmng to end, this play presents scenes of deep emotion and sadness. Yet, a few laughed even at the last tragic scene, when Juliet wakes from her. drugged sleep, sees Romeo dead at her side and utters those last words of "0 happy dagger, this is your sheath," and stabs herself. Shades of Shakespeare! Where is our dramatic appreciation and scholastic pr~de; not to mention the ordinary garden vanety of good manners? Are a few of us, by our bad mannered reception of the excellent productions given from time to time by our fellow students, going to force the school to abandon this wholesome avenue of development of talent and real entertainment. The Junior play, "Spring Green," will be given March 23. This is a comedy where laughter will naturally prevail, ~ut there will be moments of real emot10n where dramatic art is shown; if we give it a chance.
Pupils Can Help to Better Conditions Found on Buses Crowded buses is a problem facing all cities of the United States. This not only involves adults, but high school students as well. "What can I do to help this situation?", ls a question asked by all high school students. Avoid taking buses during the busiest hours of the day. People who hold downtown positions are forced to take these buses and pupils can just as well take buses at other hours of the day. "Ouch, my toe!" cries someone in the back of the bus. This no doubt came from a high school pupil. The buses are crowded &nd noisy enough without cries adding to it.

Surprise Date of the Week: Ginny Koch and Bill Wenke!!!! Hmmm.
Every high school should put on plays, according to Harold K ennedy, one of Broadway's youngest producers. They not only aid in the development of poise and personality, but help the young amateur to determine if he has real talent. Mr. Kennedy, who spoke at the .Junior League Town Hall lecture here, Tuesday, March 13, gave the interview that morning. A symphony in brown, Mr. Kennedy, advised, "The only way to start in the theater is to start by yourself. Start a little theater group in your own town in order to be seen and gain experience, the best possible teacher. The more you do in little theater the more chance you have. But one disadva ntage to the amateur thea ter is that the audience is willing to overlook your shortcomings, which is no t true of less lenient New York audiences." Kennedy got his first start in the theater while attending Dartmouth and Yale. During the summer he and five other students gained valuable experience by doin g a one-act play, written by himself, in movie theaters. Although they were t errible, and hard on the audience, they learned, how to hold an unsympathetic audience. One of the members of this troop is now appearing in "Life With Father."
When asked about the theory of the theater being d ead, with a flick of h is flexible fingers, Kennedy stated, "The theater is as dead as it feels. In New York they are having one of the. best legitimate seasons they've had, and business is sensational."

A native of Mt. Holyoke, Mass., Mr. Kennedy has worked with Orson Well es in his Mercury Theater and played with such famous personages as Joseph Cott on, in some ci! weues' productions.- He stated that Welles is not afraid of young peoplE,, and gave him his first start as a professional in "Julius Caesar" as a spear carrier in 1935 and 1937. He also appeared in the .f antastic radio production of " War of the Worlds," in 1939 w ith Welles. Mr. K ennedy then spoke of some of his contemporaries in the field of drama. H e has acted with Talullah Bankhead in summer theaters and believes her a brilliant actress . On one occasion she sported a lion cub and a monkey as pets. In his opinion, real acting is achieved only in giving an illusion of reality. .Jimmy Stewart, in the opinion of K ennedy, is really a fine actor. He m akes one believe every word he says. President Roosevelt is the best actor in the world today, because

Dick Wells: "The one thing I like about this spring is that I can hardly wait until it is over so I can go to the Air Corps in June! ! ! (Did I say that?)" Betsy .Yoder: "Well--!" Alex Fink: "I like it · because it makes the girls so happy! And just think of the good times that they h ave. (In the outdoor life, of course)." Marge Leese: "Nothing! (big comment!)" John Wilson: "I just love to see all of the cute litUe robins! ha, ha." Ed Wessel: "The birds, the girls, the flowers, the girls, the fragrant smells of gicls' perfume, and 'everything.'!!"

Noon Recreation Given Inauguration In Gym Although the noon recreation pr ogr am didn't receive a very large welcome when first introduced last Thursday in the girls gymnasium, Friday found a considerably larger number of pupils taking part. After the newn ess of the program vanishes, it is believed that more pupils will find it a pleasure to dance during the last lunch period.
he makes the listener think that h e is talking straight to him alone, Mr. Kennedy believes. Kennedy's last play, "A Goose for the Gander," starred Gloria Swanson and Conrad Nagle. He has also worked with Sylvia Sydney and Ruth Chatterton. "Actors are more real people in person," stated Mr. Kennedy, "because they get acting out of their system while on the stage. No real actors or actresses go on the stage to make a lot of m oney, but because they like acting." "In comedy you can't argue about it. It's either :funny or not funny," he continued. It is the worst . kind of play to act . The actors must feel gay the opening night, for it is then the play is either made or ruined. "The setup of radio is appalling," he continued, "you listen to a commercial and realize the intelligence of the audience. Opera is on place where radio has made a step forward." In his opinion, television will eventually take the place of movies. K ennedy concluded by telling of his new play which is still nameless,. For the title, he will probably resort to looking through the Bible and the poets. The play, a comedy, will probably open in Chicago in June. Kennedy, who is completing work on the script
French Important To Lt. Rokahr "The fi;·~;t !l orn· :::fter v;e lar;ded I spoke my first French word in
ages to a little Frenchman car rying a large sack over his shoulder (for his bread and wine) and wearing a little black beret sitting very squarely on his head," writes Lieut. Ernest J . Rokahr, '40, in a letter to Miss Annetta Sprung and Mrs. Bernice ·Tebbetts., both of the language department at Lincoln high. Rokahr, a n ephew of Miss . Elsie Rokahr, has served as interpreter for his regiment. He is now at the front with a mortar outfit. "I've visited. the city of Marseille. The wharves are bombed and several buildings in town are b ombed and burned, but the 'Cambiere' or 'Champs Elysees' of Marseille, is gay and full of people of all kinds. I can see where it is the crossroads of Europe," ermtinues Ernest, known as J ack wben in b igh school. He saw a palace Napoleon III built and several ancient cathedrals, and also the gloomy Chateau D'If out in the harbor, setting for "The Comte de Monte Cristo." Lieutenant Ro k ah r had a glimpse of Lyon and several other cities and spent one day touring Nancy, the "Little · P aris" of France. Speaking of Nancy the lieutena nt writes, "There is a beautiful squ are (Place Stanilas) with gorgeous government buildings and the municipal theatre. I talked m yself ~hrough it anc1 its beauty is breathtaking-all Roccoco style with marble stairways, and floors , beautiful chandeliers and velvet drapes and the Grand Foyer with huge floor-lengt.h windows and Louis XIV chairs."

Art Club Goes To See Exhibit
Alumnus Addresses G. R. Club 3rd Personality Talk Is Given S p e a k i n g on "Personality Traits," the third talk in the personality series, Miss Dorothy Carnahan, a senior at the University of Nebraska told Girl Reserves in their meeting Monday, that the subject of personality is a very complex one. Miss Carnahan explained, "Everyone has a personality, whether it be negative, or affirmative, or very positive." Although she confessed that it is an obsolute problem in getting it down in a Webster definition, 1he placed personalities into two catagories: abnormal personalties, including those who are mentally unbalanced, and secondly, normal personalities, those like our own. "Desirable personality traits may be obtained by careful examination and criticism of way you act and the things you do and say," Miss Carnahan said. "To improve or develop your personality, set up a goal or set up your ambition and try to realize it. If you have determination, you can keep your temperament even at all times, which is a valuable asset to your being liked. The whole m atter is really only one of resolution," s he continued. Preceding her address, devotions were read by Mildred Quick.
"Oh, I wish I could paint like that," and "Isn't that marvelous?" were a few of the comments made by the art club members as they viewed the annual art exhibit of the Nebraska Art association at Morrill hall, Monday, March 12. Instead of a regular meeting, the members were privileged to see the exhibit and hear a short talk on a few of the pictures by Prof. Dwight K:irsch. Professor Kirsch stated that the picture by Yasno Kuniyoshi, called "Room 110" had a great deal of humor in it, and that it gave one a feeling of tumbling right out at one. The Univ ersity of Nebraska is fortunate in having in its collection another of Mr. K:uniyoshi's works, "Spanish Soprano" Anne Miles, posed in this picture at the presentation of living pictures held recently at the university. Another picture that particularly interested the club was "Moonlight" by Jon Carbine, because of its eerie coloring and interesting composition.

Ten baskets have been made this year, m aking a total of thirty since last year. The woodwork classes painted these baskets a nd the art design classes painted the r ed crosses . on them.

Although only displaying his wares in one game and being set in an honorable mention spot by Lincoln selections, according to the Omaha paper, Leb "displayed enough class to earn an all-tourney berth." The Omaha paper picked its team from- all four classes and put Verne Couch of Sidney in the choice group. Couch sparked the Sidney five to its class B championship by his outstanding marksmanship and top all around play. . Subby Salei;no was tabbed as the tourney standout by the World-Herald sportswriters, but was set on a second _team slot by Lincoln dopesters.

The champion Bluejays placed Gene Wickencamp and lanky Bill Harvey, while the panhandle club put Ric S chmidt and Verle Crook among the select five. Prep's Harvey was a big asset in the Hilltoppers' victory, by controlling the bankboards .·and hitting for 24 points during the three nights. Wickencamp, who failed to make the all-Omaha selection, burned the coliseum nets for a total of 31 points. The tall southpaw tallied 11 as Bob Miller's boy;:; routed Falls City, sifted in 8 more against McCook, and tucked away 12 more in the final. Shifty Verle Crook was the main cog in the Bearcats scoring machine, sifting through 21 counters. His 10 points against the Benson Bunnies proved their downfall. Schmidt, while only contributing 4 points, was tops on the floor. He governed under the nets in all three nights' encounters and held the opponents scoring to a minimum. Leo McKillip, was the only. non:finalist to gain the coveted spot. He was the whole show for the McCook quintet, racking up 15 points against Grand Island, and pacing the Bisons as they were bumped by Prep, snagging 13. Gayle Lebsack was the only Links breaking into the honorable mention group. Leb's chances :for a place on the first five, were
wrecked when the Red and Black lost out in the first game of the tourney. Lebby garnered 10 against the Bearcats, and assisted greatly on the defense. On the second five are found Benson's ace, Don Dutcher, a t a forward spot, while the other was taken over by Prep's speedy, Jack McMillan. Don Farner, Norfolk's · all-state tackle, holds down the pivot post, while the back-court is patrolled by Dave Griggs of Scottsbluff and the Junior- jays Subby Salerno.

Everything looked as if it would turn out all right w hen "Lebby" dropped in a one-hander to t ie the score at 22 all in t he last quarter of that heated game with Scottsbluff last Thursday night. Then, in th e last m inute of the game, Griggs, of Scottsbluff, broke the hearts of quite a few Lincoln fans, as he dr ove in for a shot that cou nted for the last and winning two points of the garr.e. It isn't the custom of Lincoln fans to make excuses for their losses, as most of them, when asked what was wrong with Lincoln, reply with an · emphatic, N . C. But take a look at th is season's record with Scottsbluff. Earlier in the season t he Links' boys traveled across the state to play two games at the Bearcat home. The first . night they dropped the Links with a heated 36-31 count. The next night the Red and Black team, spurred up with revenge for defeat, slapped a 50-30 defeat right back on the Bearca.ts. Then why did L incoln lose in its home town when such important honors were at stake? The team might h ave followed t hrough with i ts belated rally and come out on top if John Gerlach hadn't have been fouled and Dick Srb's final at temp t, which scratched the mesh, had been counted. Lincoln won't easily forget this hard fought defeat. In the Midwest A. A. U. jun·s··.,_'~-:--~-~-~--:-::i.~.~~-G

at Omaha, Tech took off easily t o win with 77 points. Second honors were taken w ith 15. The only entry from the Capitol City to place was Don Batt of Lincoln h igh who took fourth in the 50yard free style. Ex-Lincoln high ace shot putter, Vic Schleich, will add his talents to the low< Seahawks track squad this season. Vic was one of the best shot u ppers Lincoln high ev er produced and when attending the University of Nebraska was always capable of placing first or second in track competition. Rumor has it that during spring vacation Coaches Beechner, Weyand, Pumphrey a nd Worrall, along with David Sell, will test t heir angling skill. T he location for this hilarious, or shall we say serious, event is not known, but the banks of the beautiful Blue river is a very likely spot. It is the hop e of all the students at Lincoln h igh that no blood is shed over a'n y disputes which may r ise as to which one caught the biggest fish, if any are caught. Dan (the equipment m an ) Theasmeyer caught a 35 pound catfish which is the largest fish that has been reported by anyone from L incoln high. In case any of the above party breaks this record, it would. be interesting to have them report it to this paper.
Scottsbluff's scrappy Bearcat five upset a cold Lincoln quintet in a first . nighter of the state tournament Thursday night by 24-22. The Red a nd Black seems to have taken on a jinx, as it has now been defeated two years in a row in its opening t ournamen t_ game. Lincoln's fourth quarter rally came too little and too late, for the Bearcats had rolled up a tenpoint advantage by the end of the t hird period. Srb's last minute setup was called back , due to a Scottsbluff foul on Gerlach. Since there were only a few seconds remaining, the Links on ly alternat ive was to miss the free throw and try for a. tip in. The shot bounced off the r im where Lebs ack tapped it just once, bu t it fell short as the game ended; Links Cold for Three Quarters. "Leb" p otted Lincoln:s l one tally in the first quarter as the lads from out West capitalized on a pair of free t h r ows and a setup to take a lead which was never threatened until the last canto. Milt Whitehead, tall Scottsbluff center, enabled the Bearcats to control the ball on rebounds a good percentage of the time. Until the fourth quarter t he Links were . u nable t o get going and Scottsbluff widened its margin from 14-7 at halftime to 19-9 at the end of the third quarter. Srb and Hubbell Boost Links. The Links went int o a ction w hen "Rich" Srb intercepted a backcourt pass and drove ·in to tally. Bob Hubbell then put in a one hander before Lebsack came through with two from the side. Whitehead scored on a charity toss for the Bearcats. T he

Sportswriters Jargon Confuses Many Of the Less Rabid Court Followers Probably many of the l ess rabid court fans arc puzzled by the game .accounts which may be found on any sports page of any paper. Here is a n example of a summ ary as i t m ight appear in the Advocate: Hoffman broke the ice by swishing the meshes with a bunny, but his efforts were neutralized by crip shot angled by Gillispie. The invaders pilfered the hoop with a flurry of baskets, but a determined Lebsack let loose a barrage of longies from mid-court to even the count. Browne iced t he contest "-·ith a quick bucket and the locals froze the ball for the rest of the game. Chances are most of you understood all the account, b ut h ere is its translation into mor e educated terms. Hoffman scored the first points in the i:-amc by m akingthe basketball first hit the plane and then proceed through the circumference anterior to it.
Gillispie made an equivalent number of points by propelling the ball through the target from a position of easy accession although his opponen ts were defending him closely to prevent such a result. The opponents a dded a series of field goals counting two points a.piece to regain the greater total. A determined Lebsack from a position halfway between the twg objectives caused the ball to move in a parabola through _the circle of metal suspended at the end of the court to even the scores. Browne made a field goal and the local team kept p ossession of the ball for the rest of the game. Well, there i t is. This, w ithout doubt, left y ou more confused than ever, but w e hope we have helped some stumped aspirant gain a greater knowledge of the game.

Girls Discuss Homemaking Pupil Representatives Confer on Subject of Home And Family Life Home and family life study was the subject of discussion when student representatives met with Miss Rue Van Horn at the board of education offices, Tuesday March 20. An agent for the central region of the United S tates office of education at Washington, D. C., was in Lincoln for a students and tell about recent trends in the practice and study of th1;i field of homemaking with which she has come in contact in high schools throughout the country. Clothing, foods, home furnishing and home nursing classes were represented. Chosen to represent Lincoln high home economics classes were Belen Colberg, Pat Graham, Phyllis Harris, and Virginia Kellison, representing clothing classes; Pat Burnett, Marjorie Hart, Betsy Yoder and Betty McKinney from foods classes; Barbara Polite and Mildred Quick for home furnishing; and Helen Lam?5 and Mary Ann Moyle, representing home nursing classes. Also attending the conference were students from Northeast high school, including, two boys representing home living classes. Answer Three Questions. In an informal discussion the students tried to answer three questions in particular: what work have you found most helpful in your home economics classes, least helpful, and what changes would you like to be made to make the high school home economics program more helpful. On the whole the representatives agreed that most home economics classes, particularily home furnishing and home nursing classes, needed to be made more extensive because home and family life is taking new trends to meet the demands of present day needs. • More detailed child care training, including psychology study and boy-girl relationship study were some items they thought it would be well to incorporate further in the home arts and science program. Budgets Considered. Also discussed were the study of budgeting both time and money in the home. Miss Thelma Tincher, supervisor of home arts and science for Lincoln schools, spoke briefly. Lincoln high home economics teachers, Mrs. Katherine Henninger, Miss Mildred Kemp, Miss Ethel Murray, and Miss Helen Wilson, attended 'a buffet supper in honor of Miss Van Ho r n and met for further discussion immediately after the student conference.

Lincoln high, and all the other schools in Lincoln will maintain regular hours if V-E day comes before summer vacation, in conformity with the city decision to make it a d ay of work and prayer. The plans for a parade, as announced by the civic committee in February, have been canceled. The day · will be observed with appropriate school programs. Otto Hackman said, "I think this is the right thing to do because with the fall of Germany the war is still not over with J apan, and I don't believe people should celebrate until both wars have been won." People with husbands, sons and brot hers in the Pacific area will not be in the mood to celebrate, so the churches ar e to arrange special services for those who can attend, for a day of prayer. Business places will be open, and will remain open all day. War in Pacific Must Go On Sin ce the war in the Pacific must go on after Germany falls, business and production should tur n out their quota as u sual an i everyone should not be convinced thflt complet e v ictory is won, because the war with Japan has just begun, when the war with Germany ends. Letter Received From Marine This decision is in keeping wit11 the though t in a paragraph of a letter received by Miss Emma Beekmann from Pfc. Perry L. Geistlinger , '43, who is wit h the !'r1d l\.'f?rin~ n !·.,·~;;i ~n OVP.rSP~ S - Th~
paragraph follows: "I read an item in the Advocate, which you sent me, saying something about V-E day to be celebrated. I guess when victory does come in Europe it will be something to celebrate about. I also read an article in the Leatherneck magazine saying, 'No mass celebrat ion is planned in the U. S. on V-E day. In fact, celebration before the end of the war in t he Pacific is being carefully discouraged by both the government :md the military.' But of course the civic leaders of "Lincoln ar e trying t o help home front morale."
Teacher To Do Chicago Research Miss Emma Beekman, histor y teacher, has a leave of absence for next year; to accept a $2,000 research fellowship from Chicago university.

Cast of 'Spring Green' Turns in Splendid Performance Before Appreciative Playgoers Centering around the lives and problems of a group of teenagers and a pair of adults who fall in love for the second time, to say nothing of a bunch of earthworms, the junior play, "Spring Green," was presented Friday night, March 23, in the Lincoln high school auditorium before 0:n appreciative a udience. The romantic interest was provided by Betty East and Harry Davis in the roles of Nina Cassell, the mother of two young girls, and Major Michael Todd, who had just returned to Elmwood to supervise the building of a new airfield, and who, with his son, Newton, played by George Cobel, was residing at the Cassell home.

"Spring Green" Name of Perfume When Eula did come hom e, a n d everyone saw· how she had changed, Newton really became fascinated with her, ev en to the point of buying a nine dolla r bottle of "Spring Green," Eula 's favorite perfume. Although the title of the play, it played a rather insignifican t part .

Performance 'E' Presented To 'Spring Green' Audience "It was a wonderful audience!" This a.nd similar comments were heard after the last curtain fell on "Sprihg Green." After performances, expressions regarding the excellence of the play and the acting is the customary procedure. In the case of this play, given recently by members of the junior class, such praise was deserved and generously given; but for a performance "E" to be presented to the audience is something unusual. An audience which showed an appreciation of those putting on the play, did their part to make the play a success. Whether editorial attention to the subject of audience conduct just prior to the presentation of "Spring Green" influenced in any way the reaction, or whether the play, highly entertaining and expertly rendered, was itself one which inspired the sincerest mark of audience interest and appr:iv<1.l,

the fact
remains unquestionable, "It was a grand audience." Its reception was spontaneous and respectful.
Books Returned Promptly Enjoyed By More s.tudents "Yes, we have a copy of the Man from Malakai; here it is." How 'pleasing to hear those words after so long a time! It has been weeks, literally, since you started asking for that book and it has just been returned. The one who borrowed the book before you had kept it out long after the date due written in the front of t he book. Perhaps he was sick and could not return the book; in that case he should be forgiven, but, then a.gain, he may have just been "too tired" to walk up those few steps a nd lay that book on the r eturn desk. Many more are able to enjoy the library and all its facilities when everyone cooperates and thinks of those w~o may be waiting for the very book that is checked out. More than $100 has been collected this semester for library fines. A very · small per cent of this is in the fori:t of fines to pay for misuse of the books ; it has mo~tly been fines for keeping them over the time set for them to be returned. There are many new books in the library and their turrtover is tremendous, so please return on time that book that you borr owed yesterday. Others may be waiting for it and if you return it on t ime you can buy a stamp for that overseas lette~ or a defen~e stamp with the money you might have paid for a fine on your over-due book.
N eivs Summaries On Air Given World-Wide Ideas The news summaries, which are given every . morning over sound, have created several questions, namely, as to the need and value for such broadcasts. They are briefly as follows : Need for such summary was shown through a test given every student in the school on current events. The scores showed definitely that there was a decided need for such a program. The purpose of this summary is not to make the students particularly brilliant, but to give them more than a smattering of world-wide knowledge. With America at war, t he problem is greatly increased. How can America continue to be the richest and foremost nation in the world if the citizens know hardly anything of the problems facing their own country? For Lincoln high school students, who will be the future citizens and law-makers, to know about their nation, is not only best, but imperative. lf we don't-what? ? ?

~Iurals Being Made to Help Pupils
To Understand Their StudiesBetter :Murals are being made for class rooms by several art s t udents. Kay Darlington and Catherine Hinrichs are both w orking on scenes from S hakespeare's plays. For Miss Ethel Bryant's classroom, K ay is mak:ing a paintin g of Lady Macbeth and Cather ine, the balcon y scene from "Rom eo and Juliet" for Miss S u.rah T. Muir's classroom. Ed Becker is do:n g a scene from the "Ancient M ariner " for Miss Est her Mont gomery's lit eratur e classes. The. mu ral w ill be a ship on the ocean w ith color ful sunset effects. The work on t he murals is done. i n drawing classes, but the artist m ust do outside research work and discuss t he mural plans wit h the classroom t eacher , for whose room the picture is being made, in order to plan the m ost suitabl e size for the wall space where it is to be hung. A small sketch is m ade w it h the aid of reference material, then a medium sized en l argement before the final mural is made. A s the enlargement '.: made, more details are added. The murals are d one in pastel crayons. J eanne Wood worth rece nt 1 y completed a l a ndscape of wheat fields in pastel cr ayons. It is called "Agriculture" and is h ung in Mrs. R u th Dodge's . room to serve as illustrative m aterial for American his tory classes . Tracing the history of art students doing murals f~r Lincoln high classrooms, Miss Helen Wilson stated, " This venture origin ated when Gilbert Rogers, Spanish tea ch er, asked for framed pictures to h a n g i n h: ~: cl~ ~-:s ~oom to
help students bett Pr understand what they "'1ere scudying about.
The board of edu cation had no m oney available for the purch a se of such pictures, so we d ecided the art st udents might m ake a try at classroom m ural s. "Most of the students carried the murals out farther an d more satisfact orily than I h ad expected . T hey seem to fin d t his one of t h e most enjoyable typ es of art work because they f eel their effor ts ar e making som ething t h at w ill r eally serve their school a nd fellow st udents in a pract ical way.n
A noteworthy classr oom mural

Several a r e hanging in t he rooms of Miss Elsie Rokahr, M iss Annetta· B. S prung and Mrs. Bernice W. Tebbetts. At the present t ime many ar t students are working on items for J oy Night . The back drop, which w as designed and . laid out by Donna l\farie Krause, is a park scen e with skyscrapers in the b ackground. Helpin g Donna wit h t h e painting are Anne Whitham, J o Ann Baker, Kay Darlington, Catherin e Hinrichs, Rober t Sumpt er and Arlene Vosta. B ecause of difficulty of obta ining new canvas, this scene is being p aint ed over an old, a situation w hich makes the t ask more difficult. Miss Gladys Dana is s upervising the w ork.

'When I first noticed "Last Sem ester," I wondered if it could possibly h o.ld the joys, s orrows, l onging hopes, desir es a nd memories of any last s emester - It does! "La st Sem est er" is a colorful , lighth earted story of college life, The main ch aracter is J aney Lou Cates and her t wo popular roomm ates, Elli Croppin and Fran Hay bright.

The team's choice as the two top trouble-making opponents were Sioux City Central's top-notch star Williamson, who poured it on Lincoln with 17 points though his team was defeated by the Links 32-31, and Bill Bauer of Omaha Tech, who garnered 13 points when Tech nosed out Lincoln 35-33. Bob Farner, Norfolk's star center, is next on the list due to his rebound control under the basket and excellent floor game. Bob tallied six points aga inst the Links in their defeat in two overtimes at Norfolk. Frank Slogr, Omaha Centr al's pride and joy, came through often against his opponents with his pivot shot.

Tributes Paid Next Paper Drive To Roosevelt Date Is Changed j\1 L.H.S. Dr. G. l{ennedy Talks to Pupils In all humility, the students o! Lincoln high school paid tribute to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, by listening to two short m emorial 1ervices, April 13, one in the morning over sound in which George Wilcox and Joe Gerteisen gave short tributes, and a double assembly in the afternoon, when Dr. Gerald Kennedy was guest speaker. "We pledge that the causes for which he served shall be carried forward with all our strength and that universal peace will be a reality and generations to come may be ever minded of the great days our President has led us through," George Wilcox stated, while Joe Greteisen declared, "Let the coming San Fra ncisco confercn.cc be ~u.llcd ·:;!-... c noo;,evelt.. >.;Vi·.a-
ference as a memorial to our late ·President." Following the two tributes over 1ound, the students stood for the playing o! the national anthem. Conscious of Needs of Man. "P r e s i d e n t Roosevelt is the trumpet call to us regarding the rights o! man," stated Dr. Gerald Kennedy in his memorial address to the assembly body. "Never have we been more conscious of the needs of man than we have been for the last few years, and Roosevelt has brought us this consciousness," cont in ued Dr. Kennedy. "He has been our trumpet call to faith in our w ay of life. Roosevelt more than any other man has brought back t o us a sense of confidence in our way of life," brought put Dr. Kennedy. He went on to recall the first fire-side chat of the president who said the only thing they had to fear was fear itself. President Roosevelt has made the Constitution into a force as a living document, and from it we can obtain all that is needed to attain democracy. He concluded that we should build for a free world and free men. "So in the moment of our sorrow we must dedicate ourselves to our new responsibilities," h e said in conclusion. The assembly closed with a moment of silent prayer followed by a prayer by Dr. Kennedy an~ the playing of taps by Bill Summers. History Classes Disclllis Event. History classes in school discussed the importance of this event to our world and its consequent result in history. In Mrs. Grace Hyatt's :fourth and fifth period modern history classes, she brought to the attention of the class that this is the seyenth time in the history. of the United States that a president h as died in office 11-nd the vice- president has had to take over the duties of presidency, the last time being 22 years ago when in 1923 Warren Harding died and Calvin Coolidge. took his place. The event of the President's passing has l eft the country without a vice-president. The job of presiding over the Senate, which is the duty of the vice- president, has been taken over by Senator Kenneth D. McKellar of Tennessee, who has been president pro.tern of the Senate and now becomes the · perma nent presiding officer of the s.~nate. A number of Lincoln high students sold extras the night of the President's death. One of these, Don Helmstadter, sold 352.
Paper collection date for April has been advanced to April 25, 26, 27, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, to avoid the busy week of Joy Nig~t.

School Bill Passed By Legislature The · school employees retirement bill, often called the teachers' retirement bill, was passed by the legislature last Wednesday by the vote of 35 to 4. L. B. 120, introduced by Senators Earl Lee, Walter Raecke, and William Hern, will become effective as soon as it receives the governor's signature. About the only opposition . to the motion, which gives retirement to all state school employees, both teachers and janitors, came from Senator John Mekota, who stated that by granting retirement benefits to the teachers, the legislature could not deny similar benefits to other groups. At other times bills have been introduced to the legislature concerning teachers retirement, but all were voted down, and the success for this one lies, perhaps, with the fact that all the teachers in the state got behind this bill. Nebraska is the fortieth state to offer retirement benefits to their teachers. A contribution of 5% of the annual salary of the employee on amounts up to $2,400 a· year is part of this plan. The state pays $1 a month times years of service, but a maximum of $30 a month to any one person. Upon retirement, which may be either at age 65 or after 35 years of service, the employee then draws on the amount of his contribution plus accrued interest and the state adds to that $1 for each year of service. If an employee's contributions will actuarily provide $21 a month for life and he has taught 20 years he would receive at time of retirement $41 a m onth. If the annuity would pay $30 a month at time of retirement and the person had 30 veai·5 of ~~rui ce. then payment would be $60 a month.
April Cancer Control Month In alignment with Cancer Cont rol m'onth, being observed this month, a moving picture on cancer, "Choose to Live," was shown to all science. classes and boys and girls hygiene classes. Harold K. Fuller, assistant director of health in Nebraska, gave a short talk before and a fter the movie and answered questions. Cancer is the disease third in rank of the killers of p eople under 20 years ·of age. It ranks second as the killer of all ages, heart disease taking top place. Statistics show that one out of every ten people die of cancer and three times as many people die yearly of cancer than died in World War I. During the first three years of World War II, 495,000 Americans were killed by cancer. The film showed the three treatme nts of cancer: by surgery, X-ray and radium, which costs $25,000 a gram. Cancer can be cured, if caught at an early stage. (But not if allowed to continue spreading poison th r o u g h the body.) Complete yearly physical examinations w er e repeatedly stressed. Cancer is no more of a disgrace than a broken ankle.

News of the death of Franklin like a bolt of lightning Thursday, April 12, first striking disbelief in the minds of the people and then finally the realization that it was true. After the truth was finally believed, the world offered many comments on what w as considered the most sudden a nd tragic calamity that could have hit the world. Students· of Lincoln high school reacted as truly American citizens in mourning for the president. "We will cherish the memory of one of our greatest presidents, Franklin D. Roosevelt," was the reply of Sidney Wright. Pat Walker comme nted, "F. D.R. made history during his twelve years in office and now just as the greatest event of his career was to happen, he was called away. H e will live not only in a paragr aph in a history book, but in the h earts of the people he
steered for so l ong and so well." "He is now where no mortal soul can reach him. No matter how people differed politically with Franklin Delano Roosevelt, he w as our president to be respected by all. This country has suffered a tragedy insofar as the key man, the controlling figure of our government, and one of the most important figures of the world has left us," Robert Pfeiler added in memoriam. "We shall back the new president with all our power to establish the end of the war and a l asting peace, just as Mr. Roosevelt would have wished," is the unanimous opinion of Lincoln high students. Emotion was varied. Some were deeply saddened, others stunned and still others were unbelieving. "The unbelievable news of the death of one of the world's greatest leaders came as a great shock," stated Delores Herzog. "The first thing I thought of was, 'How will this t ragic incident affect the war?' It could prolong

He is sure to go down in history with the famous Washington and Lincoln, as one of our greatest president. · "It leaves. us wondermg wha t will happen now, as we make the change in· the presidency at this stage of the war.

Wanda Joy Jones made this comment: "A gloom seemed to settle over everyone I knew, as we realized that our president of the last three terms would never see the end of the war." "A .p er son never realizes just how much responsibility lies on the sh oulders of a president," said Muriel Ericson, "until something like his death jerks us into reality."

Stunned Nation to Shoulder Winning of War and Peace April 12, 1945. It's been a queer day; the sun shone this morning; clouds were few and far between ; it was warm, but windy. Fellows and girls were going to school laughing, joking and playing. The nation was happy, our Armies were far into the heart of Germany, our Navy had won a battle in the Pacific, we were going 0. K. Around noon the clouds rolled over our town creating a dull grey unhappy atmosphere. It started to sprinkle, the sidewalks were darnp when school was out at 3 :10 ; the kids were still laughing, t he country was still happy. At home the radios were turned on and dance music was tuned in, then a bout 4 :30 the music was interrupted, "We interrupt this program t o bring you the news flashPresident Roosevelt died this afternoon at 3:35 in War m Springs, Geor gia," the nation was stunned, people didn't believe it. When t old t hey would reply, "Tell me another," but it was true, our President had left us, our great leader was gone, his fight was over. !!c left -~-,-~~:-: us tb.<; rc.spo1:sibi:.:t~;· :yf f i d -·

Condition of L.H.S. Campus In Need of Improvement
Teddy O'Shea was snared by this r oving reporter while he was busily trying to think of ways t o skip school for the remaining six weeks. In bet ween brilliant ideas he answered the following questions for me: Favorite Band: Band-aid. Pet Peeve: Teasing Bill "Big Shot (Put)" , Rolfsmeyer. Favorite Song : "Cocktails for Two" by Spike J ones. Nickname: "Brush ," which was dedicated to me by "Curly" Ber gquist. What Do You Like To Do Most On A Date: I never have one. (Now, Teddy, are you serious? ) . Favorit e Movie Actress: Lauren Bacall.
Conditions of the Lincoln high campm; are deplorable. The shrubb er y and lawns are in desperate need of improvement. An untidy campus is evidence of bad training m any pupils get a t h ome and the habits they practice. Not only is the existing condition unsightly, but wast eful. Discarded food is unwholesome in that it attracts insects in warm weather and is rather messy to clean up. The disorderly looks of the grounds pr ove that either many pupils do not ca re about the appear ance of their campus, or they haven't common sense enough t o be a bit more carefu l and use the cans pr ovided. :When a student throws a piece of paper on the campus that means that someone is going t o have to pick it up. What then, is to be done about t he m at- · ter ? Is the cleaning up to be left to the student council or special committees? Will it be left to the grou ps, the home room, or off assembly days ? Shall we take valua ble t ime from our classes t o h ave a special fire drill instructing students to pick up paper when returning to the building ? · Sports classes ·and t he Victory Corps are the most likely to be in a position t o han dle the cleaning of the campus. Home room periods ar e t oo s hort and the student council is busy. Having class gr oups tend to the clean-up would interrupt the work of the pupils. Sports classes still seem most suitable inasmuch as they could devote the entire period as an advantage not only to the class, but to the whole school. In what ever way t he work is done, it must be done with the idea of getting the campus clean and keeping it clean. Those working m ust work together . Once it is finished each person should t ake it upon h imself t o see that it remains a clean, sanitary and wholesome place.
Newcomers Can Find New Friends Easily in Clubs Flash ! If you are a new student to Lin coln high, or any other student, a nd would like to make new friends, an easy way is to join one of the clubs offered in Lincoln high school. Many graduates advise that, while in school, a student should try to enter ext racurricular activities outside of classes. The more complete attendance t he club has a.t the meeting, the more interesting it is. These differ ent meetings are fun, besides being educational. Each per son h as an equal chance t o join these different clubs.

Music of A.lee Templeton Commands Attention of an Appreciative Audience
Two Newcomers From Out Of State, Now In L.H.S. Ranks, Compare Schools
"Mr. Templeton learns all of his music either by ear or by hearing it from a record or having it sung," stat ed Stanley North, Alec Templeton's manager and companion in an interview at the coliseum, T hursday, April 5, foll owing the concert presented by Alec Templeton. Busy collecting programs of admiring fans, to be autographed by Mr. Templeton, Mr. North k indly answered a 'few questions a bout the famous pianist. When asked how much Mr. Templeton p r actices on concer t tour, the m a nager stat ed that sometimes the only piano he sees is the one on which he presents his program. When asked which Mr. T emple-
Esther Herman, a senior from Washington high school in Milwau kee, Wisconsin, is finding it interesting to compare L incoln high w ith her former alma mater of 3,200 students. Located in the h eart of a city wh ich Esther humorousiy d escribed as "an overgrown village" (it hou ses some 800,000 r esidents) is Washington high school. Describing her for mer school, Esther said, "Washington high is r un on t he basis of a college. It is an ex tr emely intellectual school, wi th high- star ched collar, etc. We are not allowed to hold dances there; only suburban schools m ay sponsor· t hem." In addition to those chosen by ballot for student council, a r epresentative from each club holds a seat on th e council board. " We do not always have class plays each year," Es01.er confessed, "but each student looks forward to t he for ensic contest held each spring. This contest is h eld to recognize the best students in dramatics who then compete w ith other city, county, and state schools for honors. "We hav e a public speaking system similar to your sound system. In our auditorium we have a m icrophone w ith amplifi er," she added. I n conclusion Esther stated that she finds t he pupils of Lincoln high very friendly, and likes the clean, tidy streets of this "City of Colleges." F rom Hehol, Massachusetts, is Ralph Younger, a lOb student. Ralph sai d he fou n d L .H.S . one of the nicest and neatest place he has been in. ·The only t h ing he misses is getting out of school at 2:00 p. m . When asked what he liked most about Lincoln h igh Ralph replied, "I like the music period, the way it's set aside each day for band. Neat, western hospitality," continued Ralph, "that'~ what I found in Lincol n." P laying in one of the local bands in Lincoln, Ralph has met and made friends with a great many students already. Norma Richart from Grand Island, a lOa student, has j ust started in Lincoln high. "Lincoln high is sooo m uch bigger t han Gr and Island · senior high I get lost a ll the time. Boy, I sure do appr eciate the way you kids are helping me and how you act
Between the Book Ends By Evelyn Jaeger. Can you possibly imagine su ch a h andica p as being half blind and still being brave enou gh to forge a h ead through gr~mmar school, junior high, senior high, and university? Well, Borghild Dahl did. She is the a uth or of "I Wanted t o See!!" Miss Dahl tells the story of her life in a unique style all her own, and although it's a b iography, the style m ;il{pg it ".s :.iteresting as fiction. In the early stages of Borghild's life, her classmates taunted her about how ugly :>he was, and t hrough all this she kept her chin up and even though her eyesight w as almost gone, she turned o ut with one of the highest scholastic recor ds. The anxiety in :1er senior year at university hoks you in suspense. For, until t he l ast week; n o applications are turned in, and t hen t wo come in at the same time. She finally chooses the teach ing position in Twin Valley becau se her aunt and uncle lived there and would, of cour se, want her to stay w ith. them. After this episode, Borghild is on the train bound for scho ol , she wonders if the boys and girls of junior h igh age, who, when she was in school, m ade fun of her, will still be the same. She faces t his issue and- but you read it and see t he .o utcome. If you'd like t o r ead rriore books about the blind, and their experien ces, r ead "I Begin Again" by Betz, "Dogs Against Darkness" by Hartwell, "The World at My Fingertips" by Olmstead, "Beow ulf, G uide Dog to the Blind " by Lewis and Keller's "Stor y of My Life" and "Midstream."

ton enjoys playing most, classical or popular music, Mr. North laughingly replied, "Mr. Templeton would answer you t his way: 'Which do you like m ore, sal ad or potatoes?' You really can't state which y ou do like m ost. They b ot h affect you in different ways." All music heard over t he radio or other places composed by Templeton, is dictateC: to a secret ary, who records it on paper. Mr. T emplet on started p laying his improvisations a t pa rties shortl y after h e came over here from England in 1935. " It was commercial stuff over there and when he came to American he fou nd they l iked it here and so started playing it," stated Mr. North.
Song in Use for Algebraic Clarity "We u nderstand that o~e of our ma thematics t eachers is using a current song hit to put across to h er classes some of the rul es of algebraic division,'' says the North Central News, Spokane, Wash . When two positive m em bers are divided, you "accentuate the positive" by making the a nswer also p ositive. However , in dividing two negative n u mbers, you "eliminate the n egative,"- in other words, the minus sign does not show up at all in the answer. Of course, "Mr. In Between" is zero, since t hat number marks ~he s"parativu ),Jui11t betwt"u positive a nd negative numbers. If you w a nt to get into a "mess" just try t o get along with that eccentric character as the divisor in a division problem.
Puzzle of Sloiv Clocks Answered When the clocks in the classrooms and halls went off time t he week before vacation, why weren't they all off by the same amount of t ime? Some clocks were on time and others varied a s far as half an hour late. Why was this? The r eason for this d isturbance was a burned- out generator. That does not mean that t he generator was no good, but merely that there w as a short in the wiring of the gener ator. Because the generator , which is automatically controlled by a clock th at allows it to run between one and t wo h ours a day, did not generate electricity, the batteries ran dow n. After a w hile t her e was just enough juice to make about onehalf of the clocks tick. The .other h alf just gradu ally fell be hind. Because this happened on a week end, the. clocks were all off time by Monday. It was estim ated by one of t he repairmen that due to the fa ulty generator, it took about two- anda- h alf hours for one man t o ffx it.

No Serious Problems With Youth Now, Due to Demands for Services- Stoner The Moor Rose A boy once saw a little r ose, Standin g on the rr.oor, Both youth and beauty h ad the r ose, Swift he ran, to s can its pose, With it his hopes did soar. Roselet, r oselet, roselet, r ed, Roselet on the moor. The boy did speak: "I'll br eak thee, Roselet on the moor!" Roselet spoke: "I'll prick thee, Then you'll always t hink of me, And tha t I'll n ot deplore!" Roselet, r oselet, roselet, red, Roselet on the m oor . By the boy it then was picked, The roselet on the moor, Soon it found it ha d been tricked, Nevertheless in vain it pricked . The rose did he adore! Roselet, roselet, roselet, red, Hoselet on the moor . - Johann Wolfgang von Goeth e. T his transla tion of the German poem "Heid enroesl ein" by Goethe is by Robert Va nderslice.
"There is '!lo seriou s problem in connection w ith t he youth of Lincoln at this time because ther e is such a dem and for t he services of youth," i s the opinion of William M. Stoner, president of the Lincoln chamber of commerce and · memb ers of selective service board No. 3. He wen t on to say that there will be a problem w hen youth r eturns to nor mal life and t he city must be prepared to offer b oth recreational an d vocational a ctivities to m eet their normal physical and social r equirements. Things planned a r e attractive open air parks, a city auditorium , better equipped and well scattered play grounds. There will be a n ational problem in pr oviding such facilities in rural distr icts to keep the youth from leaving for the city. "On present national issues, I favor a year 's compul sor y training for boys after the last year in high school." He still fa vors the 21 year old voti ng age, "I feel everyone should b e caused to vote maybe by a vot-
ing tax for t hose w ho do not vote t o pa y." The general function of the chamber of commerce is to p romote and further any a ctivit y contributing to the welfare of Lincoln, t he state, or the nation. It is h oused in its own building w hen adeqaut e offices and a very competent sta ff of employees. The chamber of commerce is w orkin g with t he post-war planning committee in regar d t o returning service men. P rojects have been started and will be developed accor ding to needs following the war. "Special atten tion should be paid to vocational training and schools should be k ept in step with all new developments, in the post -w ar period. All the professions and vocations in which men are now engaged will continu e t o be important. To .these will u ndoubtedly be ad ded rriany new developments in radio, radar and many scientific d evelopments. These things will call for the training of exper ts," was his conclu ding thought.
toward me-thanks, a l ot," stated Norma. Norma really likes the w ay the assembly system works, t he A and B idea. About the only thing really different is Lincoln high is getting out at 3:10, an d Grand I sland at 4:00.

United National clothing collection for overseas r elief is being made during the spring of 1945. The campaign in Lincoln has been set up for the week beginning April 16 through April 21. Beca use of the demands of armed forces and civilian needs, manufacture of clothing in the United S tates and other countries to r eliev e these distressed people will not get under way for some time. This means that these .people must depend on the help of the American people. All clothing should be clean and servicable. Grim stori es r each us from Europe, Asia, and the islands of the Pacific and southwest Pacific that throughout war-torn ar eas clothing is very s·carce or threadbare and worn out. Millions of people from these areas have been subj ected to exploitation and ill treatment for five year s. Thousands of people in these areas hav e died from exposure due to lack of adequate clothing. The following h o m e rooms didn't have any tardinesses this week, April 6-12: 109, 117, 116, 126, 128, 129, 132, 135, 209, 216, 213, 226, 303, 302, 304, 314, 320, 313, 317 and 327.
All automobile owners and drivers should heed this warning to get their auto brakes checked. Did you know that 4,000 cars ar e going off the road every day? At this rate, in two years the nation's automotive transportation problems will fail to meet our. needs. And if the thought of buying a new car soon enters into your plans, forget it. Every competent authority agrees that your present car must last for the duration of t he wur and at least two or three years, after the war is won. To meet the wartime transportation emergency, a nationwide brake-check program will start April 15, and continue until June 1. Your co- operation during that per iod will be one of the most important contributions you can make to earlier victory. P olice officers from coast to coast, and from Canada to the Rio Grande will act in your behalf during this car conservation p rogram . They will safeguard you a nd your car by checking the brakes of all passenger cars ·involv ed ( 1) in accidents, (2) in moving traffic viol ations, (3) cars operated in a manner indicatin g faulty brakes. You can check the brakes in
your own car in the following way: Place a block of wood one inch thick on the floorboard of your car next t o the brake pedal sh aft. If the br akes, when app lied, don't hold when the pedal touches the block, then they a r e inadeq uate and may be in dangerous condition. Check y our brak es today!

Traveling to Council Bluffs on Saturday, April 21, the Red and Black cinder crew will take on the top teams in two states as they match scores· at the Tee Jay relays. The meet will be held on the Thomas Jefferson high track. Last year, the L inks bypassed this session in favor of the Columb~s invitational, but this season entered both, which leav es them with a very busy week. After competing in the Discoverers' meet, the L inks shouldn't b e at their peak form for Saturday's test, where they will have to exert their utmost to "bring home the bacon." In .t he Iowa meet, the Omaha teams will be met for the first time, and as a result of the keen' competition some t op times should be turned ·in. Although it is an out-of-the-state meet, accepted times will qualify for the state championships to be hel d at t he .Nebraska stadium, May 11 and 12. Combined with the usual track and field events are numerous relays~ These are fitted to a fou ryear high .school and will hamper Lincoln's chances because of their lack of a freshman quartet.

Hopes for another state championship in golf will be based around returning lettermen, Jim Liggett and Boney Spomer. Spomer, last year's state champion, will head the list of hopefuls on Coach Max Pumphrey's squad in an at~empt to retain the state title for another season. Although working part time, Spomer will be counted on for a repeat performance. In the annual tournament, only one game was played last week, in which Bob Stone beat Bob Kinsey 1 up. In the rest of the first round matches, John Stubbs meets Ted O'Shea, Stan Stroh goes again J im L iggett, Paul Mulder tackles Jack Heckenlively and Boney Spomer, the only seeded contender, drew a bye. Hopes for a championship t ennis squad will lean heavily on returning lettermen, Bill Barrett and Bob McGehee, last year's double entries, as well as Willie Polite, a fast improving junior. Only six candidates reported for tennis, from which a squad of four will be chosen. Barrett and McGehee were seeded in t he tournament and given first round byes. In other first round games, Bill Henkle tangles with Don Helmstadter and Jack Moore meets Willie Polite. The two squads will be p ut to the test April 25, when they come against the Fremont golfers and netters. The .event; being held here in the Capital city, wlll consist of both singles and doubles matches, while the golfers play 18 holes, at the end of which both teams' scores will be . totaled and compared to determine the victor. The Normal and South street courts will be the center of activity as far as the netters are concerned, while Pioneer's greens and fairways is t he spot where the Links play host. Fremont's racquet men: boast two lettermen, as do the Links. Their golfers boast three out of four and have much experience. Tryouts will be held Thursday and Friday for the meet.
Ever since the elimination of the javelin thrown in h igh school field events, there has been th e need of an e vent to take its pl ace, The football throw has been officially entered as the new event . Last year Gayle Lebsack placed third in this event at Missouri Valley meet and will represent the Links in Saturday's mix. The football is thrown for accuracy and dist ance. To help improve the tactics of the track team Coach Ralph Beechner plans t o have t alks for about thir t y minutes after sch ool w ith the representatives of each event, that is, sprint ers one night, quarter-milers the next, a nd so on. In the first meeting, with the spr inters, he explained f orms of running and starting as w ell a :s hints on how to keep in condition. The boys are released from the meeting in time t o get to track workouts by 4 p, m. Lincoln cinder a nd field men had a soft week -end as the only competition of the week w as time t r ials held on Th ur sday. Tomorrow t he squad will travel t o Colu mbus for the Columbus Invitation and Sat urday t hey will compete in t he Tee Jay Relays. a t Council Bluffs. Don't ever get the impression that Lincoln high is going into the farming" business and raising crops in the oval. The field is being prepared for grass seeding; in order that It will be in good shape for next football season. The practice fields """"' and south of the administration building are also being worked over. The scheduled Omaha SouthLincoln high game to be held on the Omaha South diamond last Friday afternoon was cancelled, due t o wet grounds. Coa ch Charles Worrall will arrange .a future date with Omaha South officials some time this week. Pfc. Roland L. Spomer, '43, reported m issing in action in Lu xembourg since December 20, is a p risoner of war in Germany, the war depart ment has informed his mot her. Pvt.

The carnival will offer much competition to the once-victorious Links, as t h e cream o f the mid· lita te sector will ·be there. Last year the Red and Black crew scored 54 % points to m ore t han d ouble. the score on secondplace York, who garnered 21 %' markers. Although t he meet was run on a damp, soggy track, thtt L in coln ·entries turned i n some fast times. Bobby Ferguson, Lincoln speedmercha nt, t urned in 23 flat for the 220 in . preliminaries to equal an eight-year- old mark held by Jack Stubbs of Norfolk. Harry Megin nis tucked awa y second place in t he furlong with a :23.6 t ry. Both ga ined additional points in t he 100, Ferguson t aking second a nd Meginnis copping fou rth. Ben Munson copped first in t h e 200-yard lows to add points t o the L in coln tot al, w h ile Don Morrison s nar ed vi ctory in . h is pet event, the m ile run. T he Links relay team continued the scoring ways as Megin nis, Deeter, Munson a nd Ferguson t urned in a fast 1:38.4 half mile to annex another f irst. Other scorers were T om M cGeachin , .second in t he 120 highs ; D ick R oot, third in t he quarter; and Tom Zichek garnering sec• ond in the half- mile. I n the field eve!'>ts Dick P iderit

Rod Cox and Chuck Bolus tied for first in the high jump, both clearing the bar at 5 feet 8 inches. Of L incoln's last year's pointrnakers, only Z ichek returns to bolster hopes for a repeat crown, and h e may not be in shape for Th ursday's test.

Then for the next four years until 1917 the Advocate provided me with opportunities for self expression and experience that set my course very definitely toward newspaper cartooning. The Daily Nebraskan and the Nebraska Awgwan got a lot of my time and attention in the .next few years and I finally landed as a raw cub reporter under

Jimmy Lawrence of the Lincoln Star in April, 1919. For nearly 17 years I had the wonderful experien·c e of drawing my "Here In Lincoln" cartoon feature for the Lincoln Star, the Nebraska State Journal and the combined Sunday Journal and Star. In October, 1940, I joined the Minneapolis Star Journal as cartoonist and feature writer of the new Sunday Magazine. These years have been extremely interesting and enjoyable in featuring the resources, recreational facilities and. personal incidents of Minnesota and neighboring states. Congratulations to the Advocate on its fifty years of history and on its many national honors won for its journalistic excellence.

one, so I'll go back to cub reporter days to find you an anecdote. One day, in the Lincoln Star office, a letter arrived stating that it's author was about to commit suicide. I went out to see the man, letter in hand. He was of medium size, age and appearance, living in a medium sort of house in south Lincoln. He was sorry I had taken the letter so seriously because he had written it merely to scarce his wife. He would take the letter back, if I didn't mind, and we'd just forget about the whole business. So I returned to the office with.out the letter and ardved in a dead heat with the information that the medium-sized man had shot himself dead. The upshot was that I had a rather pointed convew;ation with Editor James Lawrence of the Star and I formed the habit. of always, always. hanging onto the papers.
Stoddard Replies From War Front Passed by the censors came a response from Europe from Cpl. Alex P. Stoddard. The Lincoln high school Advocate was my first attempt at newspaper work-way back in 1929, and that "exposure" resulted in the contraction · of the incurable disease that might be called " reporteritis" from which a person once· affected never completely recovers. The next autumn it was . my good fortune to start my associati<m with the Lincoln Star, writing sports on a part time basis while attending L.H.S. and learning the practical newspaper "game" from my boss, Charles S. "Cy" Sherman, veteran· sports editor. I remained associated with the Star as a parttime sports writer, then became a regular employee of the sports department · of that newspaper in. 1935. Next stop on the journalism trail was in the summer of 1941 when. the position of news editor of the Fremont (Neb.) Tribune was offered me, and . about a year later I went to ·the, Sioux City Journal as night sports editor. I now find myself in . Italy, so until some future . time there will be other things claiming my attentiori~but when peace comes it will be the newspaper game for me again.

Melick· Relates Experiences Weldon Melick, Philadelphia, Pa., writes: Was the first "undertaker" The Advocate had in charge . of the morgue, did my first humorous writing as a Links calendar editor, and my latest in a book and radio shows. The book is "Coming, Major! ", a saga of the soldier shows which culminated in "This IS The Army," trade edition_published recently by Lippincott, Army and Navy overseas edition to be published this month. I write the scripts for two radio variety shows every week, one on the Mutual network, starring America's youngest radio comedian, seven-year•old Bobby Hookey. At 17, I was writing a KFAB _show starring America's youngest radio ._· comedian (at that time), seven-year~old Dickie Anderson (now a Lieutenant). In the meantime, I've been on the e_d itorial staffs of Liberty, Re_a der's Digest, Coronet, and a contributor to· Harpe r's, the American· , Ladies' Home Journal, McCall's, Scribner's, etc., have been a columnist, critic, syndicate writer, manager of a seven-yearold mind-reader, and script-writer for five motion picture companies (including one story, for a sevenyear-old ice· skater).
Heartening to Be A Teacher; Trott Miss Doris Trott, director of publications for Gro!M!le Pointe high school, Grosse Pointe, Mich., ·says: My work has been in the field of high school journalism, and I have .been adviser of student publications in Rochester,Minnesota; Newport News, Virginia; and Grosse Pointe. I never cease to keep amazed at the , originality and ability of succeeding classes. of students. It is a heartening thing to be a teacher. Grosse Pointe is a residential suburb of Detroit.

·Advocate Encourages Journalists
Numerous members of the present staffs of the two local newspapers, the Uncoln Star and the Nebraska State Journal, had their first writings published in the Advocate. In most cases this was the beginning of their journalistic careers. Five former Advocate staff members are now employed by the Star. These are: Bill Eberline '37, assi~tant wire desk editor; Miss Helen Lawrence '32, feature writer; Marjorie Mengshol '41 , serviceman's editor; Marylouise Goodwin '41, reporter; and Shirley Lewi~ who will graduate this spring, reporter.
"It must be fascinating to be a journalist. You meet such interesting people." And the reporter _answered mecha n ically ; "You certainly do, and they're all in the newspaper business." The statement from t he foreword to Robert Casey's book about the new spaper business could be applied to the stories the A dvocate offer s t oday in r ecognition of its birthday April 23, 1895. In the half centur y in which high school pupils have pr oduced this publication, there has never been any pretense that the work is direct training for the journalistic profession, b ut a number of staff members whose fir st copy in print was in this newspaper have gone on after college to make careers in the professional field . Not all of these can be recognized in this issue, but some have. taken time from a busy life t o answer appeals for one more story for the school paper, news about themselves.

From high school, I went to the Lincoln Star, remaining there until January 1, 1935; joined the Associated Press ; then the Omaha World-Herald; back to the AP; did a job wit h the WPA until December, 1936; to the United P r ess in Chicago and Detroit during the labor strife of 1937; to Washington for the UP in January, 1938, covering labor, until the Nati6nal Conventions in 1940, followed by the Willkie campaign, which in turn led to a j ob reporting the U.

Turned to Fiction After Modeling Now living in Arlington Village, Virgina, s Mrs. Harry , W. Howze, formerly Esther Gaylord. She sa_y s: The last time I had the pleasure of appearing in the Advocate was in 1938 when I was the model for the Red Cross poster of t hat year. Also in t hat year I was married, and decided that being a P owers model was too ·exacting a job to be combined successfully with marriage, so I turned t o fiction-writ ing, which had always been my ambition anyway. I studied a t t he Writing Cent er of N ew York University and soon began to sell romances to the love pulp magazines. In 1941 my husband was called to act ive. duty w ith the Army and we moved to Washingt on. I still keep my hand in a t writing, but being a colonel's wife, keeping up with-or rather a head ofour eighteen.::month old son, and coping with wartime-Washing• ton's crowds an d drastic shortages require more imagination and ingenuity t han any story I . ever wrote!

No team shall have a second bye unless all the teams remaining in its class tournament has had at least one bye. 4. If a team has a bye, it has to hold itself in readiness to debate the opponent of any team that h<1.ppens to forfeit. 5.

Representatives Nominate Boys Primary elections for junior and senior positions on student coun• cil for 1945-46 will be held Thurs• day, May 3. ·Twenty-one senior girls and 14 junior girls have filed as potential candidates.

Because there is no contest in the primary election for this group, their names will not appear on the ballot until the final election. Final elections will be held Thursd.ay, May 10, at which time six senior boys, six senior girls, three junior boys and three junior girls will be elected to member• ship on the student council for the next year.

Debate Held In Assembly Negative Side Taken By Former Graduates -~t~~~:::!i:;; t!ic University "Peace Time Compulsory Military Training" was the subject of a debate at B assembly Tuesday, April 24. Speaking for the af• firmative were Theodore Sorensen and Gordon Pauley, both seniorii of Lincoln high school. Speaking for the negative were Wendell Olsen and Everett Evnen, both 1945 January graduates of Lincoln high and now attending the University of Nebraska. Points brought out by the affirmative were "compulsory mili· tary training is necessary for future security" and "our national security and foreign policy demands that we take this step." The negative's argument was that we were defeating the world order that would be formed if we had compulsory military training. They also argued it was not fair to pull one or two million men out of jobs when there was no immediate danger. Dick Noble introduced the speakers and Kellogg Wilson made a short <1.nnouncement at the end of the debate about joining a team in the interclass debates.
Almost 21,000 Lbs. In Drive In spite of numerous paper drives by city organizations and previous school drives, Lincoln high students brought 21,000 pounds in the April paper ~rive.

World Security Conference Of Interest To All L.H.S. Coming on the eve of the World Security Conference, now being held iri San Francisco, it was altogether fitting . and proper that the two assemblies presented last week Monday and Tuesday, should be constructed along lines of what should be of vital interest to all Of us. The second of these assemblies was sponsored by the Forum and dealt with the race problem. Although not directly connected with the Conference, a parallel might be drawn between the problem of the minority races of our country wanting equal opportunities, and the plight of the small countries of the world invited to the Conference, and naturally wanting equal representation with the larger countries in--whatever governing bodies are agreed upon. These sinall countries, if justice prevails, will be dealt with fairly, and by the same right the minority races in the United States should be given a "square deal." There has been much debate throughout the country over the race problem and a slight glimmer of progress is seen. Here in Lincoln high, we hav~ given a member of the Negro race and a . member of the Japanese race an opportunity to express their views qn the situation. And judging by the comments received, these views were very well taken. It is not everywhere in the United States that this could happen.

Give ·Our Youth Share In Postwar Community At the present time there is considerable discussion of postwar community plans. Committees composed of professional planners and civic minded citizens have been formed to plan and initiate a more attractive and worthwhile community in Lincoln as in other cities and towns throughout the country. · Ma.p.y ideas have been set forth fo:' .a better Lincoln in the near future. C1v1c improvements planned are: A new library, 1nore parks, a civic auditorium and improving the western approach to Lincoln. There are a number of plans for the city's youth too. Yes, the postwar civic planners have not left the young - people of the community out of their ideas. . They ·plan a swimming pool and various other facilities for youth's recreation. It is fine that plans are made for the young as well as the adult citizens of the community. But do the adult planners kJ).ow exactly what the young people want or would profit mbst by? They cannot be expected to put themselves in youth's place enough to say wP,at sort of recreational and cultural opportunities young people need most. In order that the taxpayers' money may be used to the best advantage and that young people might be most satisfied with what is set up for them in Lincoln, let the young people themselves have a part in the planning being made for them. They could be members of the planning committees and help put their civic ideas to work. They are the coming leaders of the community; let their civic opportunities be by, as well as for them. 1
New Attitude Being Taken By Pupils Toward Studies With the 12-week reports given out Tuesday, April 24, a new kind of attitude is being taken by the students toward their studies. It seems as though the pupils are finally beginning to take their school work seriously and are getting down to work. Some consolation may be given to those with low marks in the fact that there is still some time left in the semester to make credit. Everyone can, and should, try to make as much credit as possible this semester. So to all the 12-week failers, and also those few who passed by a narrow margin, let the last few weeks be studious ones.

Lincoln Symphony Plays . for L.H.S. Music Devotees Opening the program with "The Star Spangled Banner," conducted by Henri Pensis, the Lincoln symp hony orchestra gave its annual concert for the pupils of the junior high schools and for the music groups of Lincoln high, Tuesday, April 24, at the Stuart theater. The . first number of the formal program was "Overture to the 'Marriage of Figaro,' " by Mozart which began witll a . passage b y the strings and bassoons, the rest of the instruments joining in the grand romp. Another well-liked number was "The Blue Danube,'' by Strauss, which everyone knows and loves. The orchestra captured t h e swing and rhythm which makes it so well liked. "Jazzy Legato" by Leroy Anderson, an American composer, was perhaps the most lilted of all as it had a catchy theme, arid rhythmical style. The orchestra obliged the appreciative audience by playing it twice.
Overseas Nurse Writes of Her War Experiences Lt Helen Hight Van Sickie, is a nurse overseas with an evacuation· hospital unit right behind the fron r. li""·'· I.t., V3n Sickl..,'s hu>=barid, Willis Van Sickle; '34, a Lincoln high 'graduate, Is also · a lieutenant overseas. He is with t he 7th army. Mrs. Van Sickle wrote recently from Holland that she was able to visit her. husband in France at a distance of 190 miles from where she ·was stationed. Her commanding officer gave her the use of his jeep and driver to make the trip. On the way to see her husband she said, "We w ent through Bastogne and Metz, both were very interesting. Complete destruction is the only- way to describe Bastogne and the nearby villages. Even the trees look as if the tops have been cut off and they have all been splintered by bullets. We saw b_a rnyard after barnyard full of dead cattle. Metz · is torn up quite badly. It surely was a well fortified city." After arriving in France and joining her husband she ·said, ''We spent most of the day tramping and helping fight the battle. He even took me up the forward observation post and let me watch the Jerries. We also visited the battalion aid station. "The fellows were all surprised to see an American girl . so close to the front lines. They live a terribly-rough life and are uncomfortable a lot, but they are still very cheerful."

Auto Class Needs Parts for Cars Repairs of all types of automobiles, automobile parts and engines in an efficient and methodical way, although hampered by lack of parts, goes on in the Lincoln high automobile shop under the direction of Guilford Burnham in room 142. Models range from 1941 ·to the 1922 vint age. "We can handle seven to eight cars in our shop, but we have handled as high as fourt een cars without cutting down efficiency,'' Mr. Burnham declared. " Cost of repairing a car is the same as the cost at a downtown garage. But only .. one-eighth of the down-town labor cost is included. Major . problem for the auto ·class is finding parts for the .automobiles, Some par ts that are needed and not available at the present time ar e pistons · for ·P .l ymouths, water ·pump parts, steering gear parts, brake. parts, transmission par ts and some batteries. "Students of. the auto class are divided into five groups, each group taking a car and. working . on the car until it is repaired," he continued. "Due to. shortages, there is a reduction ·of outpu t from the time standpoint, but there is no reduction · in ·the work efficiency,'' Mr. Burnham emphasized. "Since the recent painting of our shop, vision has been increased by 300 to 400 percent," Mr. Burnham concluded.
Lincoln at Dawn There is a phantom city in the clouds At dawn, when mists _are rolling o'er the world , A phantom city built on colored clouds. The tops of buildings r ise against the sky, White and rosy tinted 'gainst tlle vague Enchanting beauty of eternal sky. The phantom city is a cit y's soul, The rocks that build its walls will never fall, Or crumble into dust. As such it is Perfection, and the shining golden dome Is not outshone by any but the sun. - Mary Webber.

Hand Linl{sFirst Defeat Suffering defeat for the first time this season, the Red and Black diamondmen lost to a .strong Boys Town aggregation, 7 to 3, April 26, at Muny Park. Don Hays put the Links in an early lead, scoring on Bartlett's high fly into centerfield. But the Boys Town nine came back fast to even the count in the last of the second when Dick Fielder came in from second on Krull's double. Father Flannagan's boys had big third and fourth innings as they stretched their lead to 7 to 1. Southpaw George Nutt took over the mound duties for the Links after three and one-third innings and managed to break the Boys Town scoring surge. In
the fifth inning Coach Charles Worrall's crew tried desperately to stage a winning rally. Aguirre and Hays singled. Hub-' bell then clouted a hard one into left field to score Aguirre and Hays. In his attempt to make it a three-base hit he was tagged out at third. Box score: Boys T'n ah h o a( J...ine;oln Roe If 3 1 2 11 Hays ss Fltzger'ld c! 3 l 2 11 Aguirre I!

Netters, Golf Team On Top Golfers Get .75 Stroke Lead; Racketmen Win Singles and Doubles State high-school champ, Don "Boney" Spomer, carded a 7 over par 79 to pace the Red and Black golf crew t o a clean sweep over Fremont, last Wednesday on the Pioneer Publinks course.

Low man for the Fremont squad was Anderson , with an aggregate of 96, while Mitten took a close second with 97 strokes. Lubbli and Balsam rounded out the vis~ itor's totals with 109 and 108 in that order. The light rain which fell shortl y before the start of t h e meet made· scores soar as it slowed t he greens and fairways considerably. The L incoln total of 335 was 75 strokes better than the hapless Fr.emonter's aggregate of 410. Lincoln (335 ) . Spomer 79, L igi;ett 81, Russell 86, O'Shea 89. Fremon t (410).

To finish up the afternoon's victorious ways, Willie Polite (L) turned back Dale L arsen (F ) 6-3, 6-2 a n d Harris Graves (L) defeated Horstman (F ) 6-1, 6-1. Missouri Valley Titles on Block Coach Pumphr ey's golf and tenn is squads will take on some choice competition Saturday as they vie for top honors in the Missouri Valley race a t the annual session to be _held at Pioneers. The Red and Black foursome appears headed for another championship, as two members of last year's winning squad are still in the Lincoln fold. A year ago, the golf team, composed of Spomer, Pegler, Stroh and Liggett, nosed by Omaha Central by six strokes. Central, paced by the Knight brothers, is again rated as one of the top aggregations in the Valley.

'Lincoln High's Pool As Good As Any In State,' Declares Sanitation Director Lincoln h igh's s wimming pool is as good as any pool in t he sta te at the present time accordin g to T . A. Filipi, di r ector of t he division of sanitation, in the state health department. "The new schools are u niversally equipped w ith swimming pools in Nebrask a," sta ted Mr. F ilipi. "Lincoln h as a good percentage of pools, a bout one to every 900 people. Nebraska, too, has a high percen tage with a bo ut 150 pools in the sta te." Mr. Filipi believes t hat swimming shou ld n ot b ecome compu lsory in high schools unless sw im'm ers 2.re r equired to have a physicul examination and are phY~1 cally f it for sw imming. Shock is on e of t he m ain causes of m any drownings, a nd he ar t failure has been responsible for the last three drownings in Nebraska. Another d isadvantage, according to Mr. F ilipi is that the ears are often affected. "Swimming pools are often unjustly bl:;m ed for the sprea d of at hletes' foot ," continued Mr. F ilipi. "Athletes' foot can be spread any place wher e people go bar efooted. The p ool, lock ers a nd shower r ooms are all heavy wi th chlorine, whic h is the best algecides t here is, so, it is most u nlikely to be p icked up at the pool." Tells of Poo.l's Mechanism. Mr. F ilipi then told of the mechanism of the pool. Lincoln
h igh's swimming pool's circula tory cir culating system consists of one large pool drain w h ich communicates to a pump. This pump drains the water from t h e pool a nd forces it throu gh filters, then past t he chlorinators into the pool. T o insure proper distribu t ion of water, it is for ced in to the pool througl:t pipes evenly spaced around the walls. In this way the water is t urned over every six or eight h our s, which is equivalent to changing the water every eight h our s. When asked of the p ossib ility of new post- war p ools,, Mr. F ilipi explained that he doubted if t here would be any drastic changes b ecause swimming pools are _no w stan dard ized. "There a r e two new types of pools," h e continued. "The first is a round or saucer pool. T h is p ool is impractical, howev er, because if a bather in the deep w at er is in distress it is too far to swim to aid h im, and so ther e is m ore d anger of drownings. The second t ype consists of thr ee pools ; one for wading, one for swimming and one used exclusivelv for diving. The only pool of this type is at H oldrege. It is not only the newest but the m ost expensive p ool in Nebraska." Mr. F ill pi concluded, "I heartly r ecommend bathing caps, ear plugs, and eye goggles as a pr .itection to the s winuner."

Language Is In Foreground Instruments of War, Newspaper, Roman House Are Projects Foreign language activities will be very much in evidence this week. Modern language pupils will give a musical assembly Thursday, representing Spanish, German and French classes. The program will consist of solos, trios, quartettes, a sextette, and large group singing in these three languages, and also piano, violin, accordion and trumpet numbers. Some of these numbers will be light and popular; others will be from some of the best Spanish, German and French composers. Building of Roman instruments of war, a collection of Latin derivatives, the showing of how Latin derivatives are used in geometry, the construction of a Roman house and many other things have been the problems of Latin classes in preparation for honoring language week, May 6-12. One student from every Latin class in the building was elected to serve on a committee to plan and supervise preparations· for the event. The committee held several meetings and assigned a project to each class. Of interest especially to . Latin students will be the little newspaper which Miss Elizabeth Grone's Latin 4 class is publishing. It will contain current school news and other items of interest, which will all be written in Latin for each Latin class to translate. The paper only will be distributed to students in all Latin classes. The managing editor of this paper is Barbara Ebright. A collection of coins which make use of Latin words is also to be exhibited. A group of six posters drawn by students will be hung in the hall by Miss Marie Cross's classroom, 205. Shown in 205 and 302 will be complete Roman houses which were partially built for Open House last semester.

Lincoln High School Choir to Present Gilbert and Sullivan Opera, 'Iolanthe' Attention, Lincoln high students! May 18 and 19 aren't just dates on the calendar; they are the dates when the Lincoln high school choir will present the opera, "Iolanthe," on the stage of the auditorium. If .illfs excitement, tragedy, or romance you are looking for, all of these are woven in, thus bringing an opera, full of enjoyment for everyone. So don't wait to be the last one, go today and get your ticket. They are on sale at 125, before and after school and at all lunch periods. And don't forget to tell your parents and friends about it. Tell them if they want an evening of pleasure, be sure to come to "IOLANTHE"!!! Gilbert and Sullivan, the authors, first collaborated with each other in 1875, in the light opera, " Trial by Jury." Some of the other best operas of Gilbert and Sullivan are "Pinafore," the
"Pirates of Penzance," "Patience," and the "Mikado." Gilbert is a master of swinging meter and unexpected rhyme. His verse has sparkle, without sting. Sullivan was very much like Gilbert, but took his work more serious. In 1886, Sullivan set to music an arrangement of Longfellow's "Golden Legend," which is one of his finest compositions, and in 1891 produced his grand opera, "Ivanhoe," which brought him much fame. English 6 classes found in their English literature textbook "A Nightmare," from the opera, "Iolanthe." This song will be sung by David Evans. It was sung recently on the radio by Danny Kaye. "When you're lying awake wit h a dismal headache, and repose in tabooed by anxiety. "I conceive you may use any language you choose to indulge in, without impropriety." This nonsense verse is typical of the humor in the opera.

Stop! Think! Before Voting For Your Class Officers For many centuries, people all over the world have engaged in costly and bloody battles and heated disputes to gain the right of self-government. This means the right to choose the form of government which they think is best to live under, and elect the people who they believe will be good and honest officeholders and will draw up fair and wise rules and regulations. It is a great privilege to live ip a country where we may go to the polls and vote for the candidates we feel will do the best job. It is also a privilege to attend a school where we may vote for our class officers, home room representatives and alternates, and student council members. When slips of paper are handed out in home room to nominate class officers or home room . representatives, most students are willing to put down their choice. However, it is too often a different matter when a trip to a special room to vote is required. Most pupils are eager for a chance to voice their opinions in the matter of officers, but for a great number the extra time and trip to the polls is too much trouble. Another interesting thing to note is the various remarks made when a group is discussing candidates for some position. You will often hear " Mary is so cute and she'd make a darling president," or, "I think I'll vote for Johnny. He has such a neat convertible," or something to the effect. If these people would just stop to think, they would certainly realize that these are not the qualities required in good leaders. For certainly our school leaders must carry a great deal of responsibility and be deepndable people in order to keep our school affairs running smoothly.
Yellow Heads Among the Green Aren't To Be Seen · "Ah, the flowers that bloom in the spring, tra la!" (from a Gilbert and Sullivan song) . Along with the flowers pop up the weeds and along with the weeds pop up the dandelions, which brings us to our topic. Dandelions spring into view almost more quickly than they can be dug up, so they have to be dug up more quickly than they appear. To pick them means willing hands from Lincoln high pupils. Every student takes pleasure in seeing . a clean orderly campus so they should help to do so. The only pickers are volunteers from study halls, home room and off-assembly periods. A contest among home rooms would excite interest. The city wide dandelion drive has passed but L. H. S. didn't enter into it. It's about time we inaugurate one of our own. The first aim is to rid the plots of dirt between the sidewalks and the street in the front of the school. After the dandelions are dug, it is hoped that these spots may be covered with pebbles or cut limestone for three years in order to kill the bindweed. Bindweed takes three years to get rid of after it's covered. After three years the plots may be sodded. Come on, gang, and get rid of a mutual pest. Yellow heads among the green aren't attractive to anyone.
War Shortages Hamper Caleteria Food Situation War shortages have made the food situation in the cafeteria a difficult problem to work out, but with the careful and effective planning and budgeting of the women in charge, the shortages haven't pressed Lincoln high students to a point of starvation. There seems to be less sugar than anything else, so this naturally means fewer desserts. Recently, the desserts have vanished before even half of the lunch periods are over. The last students to lunch have to do without that good apple pie or chocolate cake. This is partly due to the fact that some students with, "sweet tooths" have gone back for a second helping. A suggestion is being made to these guilty ones to stop and consider the next fellow before appeasing the appetite and taking more than one share.

Open Forum To t he Editor: We have been hearing for the last three or four years about the necessity for donating blood to the Red Cross, and w e k now how importan t it is to the member s of the armed forces in this coun t ry a n d, more particularly, abr oad. Many . service men have mentioned i n their letters home h ow the b lood plasma has helped them or their friends, but t hat we, here, d on 't seem to realize t hat they a r en't getting enough to fill the need , and that we m ust "k eep it coming." Ma ny people who w ould be only too happy to cont ribute a pint of blood cannot do so sim ply because theye is no place with the p r oper equipment w ithin a r easonable d istance. F or insta nce, t he nearest center t o L incoln is in Ka nsas City. Nebraska needs a permanent b lood donor center in t he larger t owns and mobil e units to visit r egularly the smaller communities. Why can't we in Lincoln have a center ? Surely in w ould n' t cost too much or be t oo m uch of a sacrifice, would it? Remem ber, each pint of blood may mean a life sav ed.

Editor's Note: The local chapter of the American Red. Cr oss d ves this answer: The question has been repeated ly r aised as to w hy a blood donor center is not established in L incoln. The officers of the local chapter have a ttempted to answ er this question as often as possible, because w e know that the citizens of Lincoln are e xtremely i nt erested in participating in this war project. T he facts a re t hat you r loca l chapter tr ied for some tim e to get such a project established in Lincoln w ithout success. There are only 31 blood donor centers established in the United St a tes, w hich are unde: the direct supervision. of the A rmy a nd Nav y but operated by t he Red Cross. T he cost of operating such cent ers r u ns into thousands of dollars, a nd it is uneconomical to operate these units in centers other t h an t hose having a very large population of 100 miles of t he center. The following is a rece nt st atement by Basis O'Connor , National Chairman of the Red Cross, which sets out clearly the m ethod of hand ling t his proj ect : " T he Arrriy and Navy estimate their requirements and make contract s with biological labora t ories w hich a re equipped to process the b lood plasma. The Red Cross then sets up collection facilities t o keep t he la boratories supplied t o capacity. Since blood is per ishable a nd must be processed w ithin approx imately 24 hours a fter it is withdrawn, and since the labor atories can handle only a certain amoun t of blood each w eek, the centers and their mobile units are located as near the pr ocessing laboratories as possible and operat e on a str ict quota basis. A ccordingly, production greatly in excess o:f the w eekly quotas must be a voided. It would not be feasible, therefore, to add additional centers or mobile units, or to extend the scope of mobile unit operations, as long as the presen t ones keep the laboratories, and consequently the arm ed forces, fully s u pplied ." It is our understand ing that blood plasma is not a complete substitu te for w hole blood u nder certain medical conditions. The army has undertaken to fly daily to the armed forces a certain am ount of w hole blood procured by the Red Cross. This service, of cour se, can be rendered only t o those hospitals that ca n be reached wit hin a give n length of time, a nd combat areas outside of such zones have to be supplied with w hole blood from donors in those particular areas.

58 Boys Have Military Status Although under supervision o f their draft board or on Navy call 58 boys are still attending Lincoln high according to statistics compiled by H. C. Mardis, principal, as of last F r iday. Some hoys have been sworn into the Navy and are now on call; others have taken t he ir Navy physical tests but have not yet been sworn in because of the new quota system the Na vy is using. The Army ha s also taken their share of 18-year-olds. The boys w ho have already taken their preinduction physical examination are sent home either to finish the balance of this semester's work or rejected until further notice from their dr aft board. A few have passed the age of 18, but as yet have not been called to take any of their physical examinations. The Navy and Coast Guard do not let the boys finish school, but call them as they need them, except if they pass the Navy's radar test. The Marine Corps, which at the present time is a little harder to get into, will let a boy finish school if he follows under certa in particular requirements as to age, schooling and enlistment procedure, otherwise not.

Presidents Are Life Hobby Frederick Taylor Wilson, whose hobby it is to visit the birt h and burial p laces of ·an United S tates presidents, talked t o the A group of Lincoln high students in assembly May 4. Introduced by Max Meyer, an officer of the Lincoln Dinner club, Mr. Wilson spoke on the topic, "Our Accidental Presidents." " Out of our 32 presidents, only 19 of t hese men were actual candidates for t he office of presidency," began Mr. Wilson. "This leaves 13 men who could be called our accidental presidents." Speaking of the most recent accidental president, Mr. Wilson stated that President Truman was not only the thirteenth but a lso took the oath of office for P resid ent of the United S tates, on Friday, the thirteenth . "He was the second man born west of the Missi ssippi to become president," h e stated further. He then continued briefly t o putlin.e t he political careers of the twelve remaining men in the group, emphasizing h~w many of them rose above poverty and hardship to become the nation's commanders-in-chief. Typical of these examples was that of James A . Garfield who worked h is way t hrough school. Three oth ers might be called "dark horses," who were not seeking a nomination but went away from the political conventions as nominees for the presidency, Mr . Wilson said. James Polk , Franklin Pierce and. James A. Garfield were t he three. When he visited the home and bur ial place of Theodore Roosevelt, t h e late Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt told him t hat the best monument to her husband w as the simple bird sanctuary overlooking the grave of this frie nd of man, bird a nd beast.

After holding the .Links to a single blow, Pitcher Gradville let up in the seventh, and the Red and Black. shoved six runs across, with Ray Aguirre and Bob Hubbell furnishing the power at the plate. Lincoln chucker Randall Barron scattered three doubles and. a single throughout .the game, and not a Plattsmouth player reached third. Although collecting· only three blows, the Red .and Black "blade the. best of each hit and Plattsmouth miscue.

Howard DeBus' five-year-old national interscolastic discus mark of 174 feet, 21(4 inches was shattered by Beryl Thompson, Minneapolis Southwest high school athlete, when he tossed the platter 176 feet 4¥4 inches at the Aberdeen (S. D.) Relays on Friday, April 27. "Howie" set the mark at the 1940 York Jnvitational as he cracked his own mark, set Journal photo. two weeks previously at Lincoln by 8 feet. Howard was placed on the All American Scholastic Track and Field Team of the A. A. U. for hi.a feat. The night · air down at Nebraska City seemed to appeal to Lincoln track men as they ran off with top honors by more than doubling the score of Boys Town, second place winner. Lincoln set 6 of the 7 meet records that were broken in the fourth annual meet. The last half of the meet was .held under the. lights at night, the last event being run off at 9:25 p. m. The meet was a qualifying meet for the state and two Lin~ coln men qualified. Ed Longacre in the 220 yard dash and "Al" Bergquist in the low h_u rdles.

Six Firsts To Valley Hosts
Hold Millard To One Run, 2 Hits In First Holding the Millard nine to one run, the Red and Black emerged triumphant as they defeated the Millard assemblage 3 to 1 Thursday afternoon on the Muny diamond. The initial inning proved to be the margin of victory as the Links batting machine drove in two runs before the Millard hurler could halt the assault. Hays hit for a single and then went to second on Aguirre's sacrifice. By way of an error Hubbell reached first base and · advanced Hays to third. Bob Bartlett then smashed a long fly into centerfield. Hays came in to score after the catch. Gerlil.ch singled to drive Hubbell across for the second run. Lincoln's big right-handed moundsman, Kenny James; helped pave the Red and Black success by fanning 12 and allowing 5 hits. Pitcher Peterson of .the Millard tribe was also taken for 5 hits, but was credited with 8 strike outs. Again in the fifth inning the Lincoln club came across the home plate to score. After Hays had belted one into centerfield for a single, Ray Aguirre put him in a scoring position on his second sacrifice of the afternoon. Another error put Hubbell on first while Hays came in from second. Individual deeds blended into bits of co-operation to execute a double play in the Links infield. A double out in first ·of the third inning .pulled the Red and Black out of the hot water to add another step in their brilliant defensive chain. Sensational fielding exhibitions deluxe ·by short-stop Don Hays succored the Link's defensive cog. Hays took flying leaps to stop hard grounders. Too, the veteran diamondman scored two of the three Lincoln runs. The box scores: ab ho a Millard ab h o a i Lincoln Peteu, u 4 1 0 OIHays, .. 3 2 0 0 Kremke, 2b 4 0 1 2IAgulrre, lf l 0 1 0 D.

Lincoln baseballers trek to Boys Town today, seeking revenge .for the 7-3 pasting handed them two weeks ago on the Muny diamond. George "Lefty" Nutt will handle mound duties for the Links, while the rest of the team will remain the same. Back on its home field Thursday, the Red and Black will take on a tough Millard foe, and will be trying tod uplicate the 3-1 win of last Thursday.
Golfers,. Netters In State Matches Lincoln's foursome · will attempt to duplicate last season's winning attempt and will count on the same golfers that represented the· Links in the Missouri Valley encounters. Last year's champion, Don Spomer, is again rated as tops in the state and should help pace the golfers to .another state title. .In 1944's encounters, Don and Jim Rich of Columbus each carded an 80 at the end of the regular round to end all square, but "Boney" birdied the first play-off hole to cop .the individual championship. The Red and Black squad of Pegler, Strah, Liggett and Spomer took the top spot with a total of 249, while Omaha Central, with Dick Knight posting an 82 for the third low total, had an aggregate of 254 for second place. Knight is again back and helps make the Centml squad co-{avorites in this year's session. The netters lost out in their first · round tests, when Phil Ox- ' ley drew Missouri Valley champ, Jim. Harris, and was on the losing end of the 6-8, 6-4, 6-3, scores. Bob McGeehee and Bill Barrett. Lincoln doubles team, were dropped by Omaha Tech's pair 6-3, 6-1. Both will be back fo1 this year's tourney to be held Saturday on the Lincoln ~ennis club courts.

Lincoln In State Meet This Week Hoping to retain the State crown, Lincoln's track and field men are all set for the curtain to rise on another state track meet, Saturday, May 12, at Memorial stadium. Having their "ups and downs" during the years' meets, the Red and Black's qualifying trackmen come to the high point of their season's training. The Links should be more than well prepared, having gained a large amount of experience at previous contests. Qualifying rounds of this year's state meet will be run on Friday, May 11. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~--
A year ago on the N. U. track, Don Morrison and teammate Huck Egger won first and second in. the mile run. Don clipped off a fast 4:46.7. Herb McCulla was second to his teammate Rod Cox, who topped the high jumping bar at 6 feet, which was good for the other gold medal. The quartet of Harry Meginnis, Eugene Deeter, Ben Munson and Bob Ferguson knocked off the time of 1:32.9 to streak by all others in the 880 yard relay.
Good enough for first in the class A shot put, though not so for a gold medal, was Dick Piderit's put of 49 feet 4 inches. Dick also earned for the Red and
Links Reserves Take Own Meet Lincoln reserve trackmen staged a victory at the Memorial stadium last Thursday. Ashland was second behind Lincoln's 721h points with 27lh. College View had 23 for third, Northeast 11, and Teachers came out with 6 markers. · Lincoln men who qualified for the state meet are as follows: Don Bryant in the mile run, John Anderson in 440-yard run, Marv Copple in the 200-yard low hurdles, Jim Mikkelesen in the 880-yard run, Tommy Jelsma in the 220-yard dash, and the 880yard relay team composed of McEachen, Jones, Hoy and Longacre. The times on the cinder path weren't tops due to a strong north wind. None of the requirements needed to qualify :for the state meet were met in any of the field events. Bryant, holding. one of the best times in the state in the mile but previously unqualified, stepped off a slow 5:18 against the wind. Leading the field the entire distance he had little trouble winning the event. Andreason clicked off a fast :56.4 to win the 440-yard dash finishing ahead of teammate& Frank Burton who took second and Lloyd Garner fourth. The 880-yard relay team was also clocked in a slow time, 1:41, although they finished almost 100 yards ahead of College View, second place winner. Other Lincoln winners were Tom .Jelsma in the 220-yard dash, Jim Mickelson in the 880-yard run, Marv Copple in the 220-yard low hurdles, Randall Renken in the pole vault and Bill Rolfsmeyer in the discus. Summary. 120-yard high hurdles: Bundy, Ashland. Time: 9.3. lOO·yard dash: D. Miller, College View. Time: ll.8. Mile run: Bryant, Llneoln. Time: 5:18. 44-0-ya.rd run: Andresen, Lincoln.

Black, second in the discus. Fritz Ware of Omaha Benson nosed out Meginnis in the broad jump, leaping 21 feet 1 inch. Harry was just barely beaten as his best effort was 20 feet 11 % inches. Ware is back again this year and has participated against the Links twice in the Kearney meet and the Tee Jay relays, Besides being a ·strong contender for the repeat win in the broad jump, he also will run in the sprints.
Don Bryant, Lincoln's young miler lunged ahead . in the back stretch to win the mile in 4:51-2
Cleveland Marshall, who gave
Lincoln track fans a taste of his speed Saturday in the Mo-Valley meet, by running the 220 yard dash in 21.9, is out to defend his gold· medal in the 220. His. time last year was 22. 7. Whether the Links will be able to do it again this year will not be known until Saturday, but by taking their fourth straight MoValley crown they have proved that they ;tre more than just a dark-horse and should not be overlooked. Bearing Red and Black colors in this year's meet are 16 entries, who have qualified in previous competition throughout the season. In the mile run, Lincoln's entry is Don Bryant who showed last Saturday that he is not to be overlooked. Bud Lee and Jim Mikkelsen are to compete in the 880. Both ran last Saturday, when Bud came through with a third. Two Iowa boys from Sioux City were first and s.e cond. Ed .McEachen and John Andreson wil represent Lincoln in the 440. In the 220 and 100 yard dashes, Ed Longacre will attempt to hold his own with the out-state speedsters. Battling it out in the 200 yard low hurdles will be Rex Hoy and Bruce Bergquist who have been close on each other's' heels or in dead heats often. Herb Gish who grabbed honors, turning in a 16 flat time. in · the 120 yard highs in the Mo-Valley, is a strong contender for this event. In the field, Jack Deffenbaugh is entered iri the pole .vault. Competition is keen here but "Def" has shown what he can do. Bill Rolfsmeyer and Bill Kimball will be up against it when they compete in the shot against the state's best. Gayle Lebsack has one of the best throws in the state for the discus. He also has thrown it farther than the state's winning heave in Class A las.t year.
Iwo Jima Vet Home on Leave Pfc. Lupe Arenas, veteran of Iwo Jima and former student at Lincoln higl\, is home on a 30-day leave. During the fifth day, February 23, of the battle at Iwo, Pfc. Arenas .was ·hit by shrapnel. Lupe was hospitalized at Saipan and from there he was sent to Corvallis, Oregon.

This is preparatory to reclassification from .t he beginning to elementary classes. Two students, Doris Conk and Dorothy Lutz, were outside with the fourth period gymnasium class playing baseball when they sighted a woman who kept dropping her packages because she had so many of them. The students went to her aid and carried the greater part of the bundles to the woman's house, deposited them on the porch, came back and finished the game. The G. A. A. spring picnic promises plenty of fun for all. It is to be held May 23 instead of the regular meeting and if ·.· a girl has earned an emblem or letter ·in any sport during the semester it is necessary to attend in order to receive the award.

When the final tabulations were made in the class officer elections held last Thursday in all polling places, two boys and one girl had been picked to head their respective classes during the next semester.

opera. Opinions of the opera were expressed by Hugh T. Rangeler, director, and Bernard Nevin, orchestra leader. "I believe we have an opera that is equal to any we have ever had, typical Gilbert and Sullivan with its humor and satire, and so I know it will be a very enjoyable performance for everyone," Mr. Rangeler declared. "The orchestra parts are very good, some parts are very difficult, have rather difficult key signatures. I believe the pupils· tmjoy working on it very much." Mr. Nevin replied. The opera orchestra members are as follows: Flutes: Ruth A n n Curtiss Myrtis Rider. Clarinets: Harris Graves, David Leonard; French Horns: Wyona McDerJnand, Patricia King; Oboes: Roger Barnard; Trumpets: Ned Nevin, Harold Engstrom, Bob Hinds; Tympani: Tom Dreyer; Trombones: Marvin Copple, Walter Weiland; Basses: Ronald Barnes, Betty East; Cello: Margaret Tripp; Nila Kastner; Viola: Roma Johnson, Marilyn Harms; Violins: Martha Temple, Aleta Snell, Donna Scott, Delores Deryke, Mary Ann Kastner, Ruth Sorensen.

Via Facilities of Newscasts
Too many pupils of Lincoln high school minimize the value of the two-minute newscasts instituted last fall by the Lincoln high school newscasting committee and carried out by capable student newscasters. When the American Ninth army crossed the German held Remaugen bridge on the Rhine, which even today some military experts say was a stroke of military genius, many Lincoln high students received that information as they would when someone walks across the street, without emotion, ignorant ·of the great importance of the Remaugen crossing, thought the student newscasters pointed out that great importance. However, when the news of Franklin D. Roosevelt's death reached stunned ears across the nation, two hours after school, the students ana faculty were prepared for the words by one of the newscasters. "We pledge that the causes for which he served, shall be carried forward," and Lincoln high students and faculty understood. There is no doubt t hat students of Lincoln high school are better educat ed and better informed on the news of the world through the facilities of t he two-minute newscasts by student newscasters.

Native Painter Depicts Nebraska Rural Scenes "Culture finds its roots in agriculture," stated Dale Nichols, an artist who was born in,, David City a nd is nationally known for his paintings of rural Nebraska. He explained t hat man. couldn't do anything other than hunting t ill someone planted a seed and agriculture was started. "I started painting in 1934, after eight years of advertising art," said .Mr. Nichols. He attended the Chicago Art CLi-2..:. g~
Helen Wilson, Teacher, Accomplishes Much Worthy of Note in A.rt Field Although she has accomplished much that is worthy of .note in t he art field herself, Miss Helen Wilson, Lincoln high art t eacher, seems more inclined to d iscuss the achievements of her students. "I get a great deal of enj oyment out of seeing my students gain practical value from their art training bot h while in school and in later life," Miss Wilson said and told of several fonn~r stu• dents of whom ahe has reason to be proud. 'fhere is Hal Wilmeth, '36, who wori a scholarship to the Kansas City Art School upon leav ing h igh school. Now lie is in the Army Air Forces in Italy, and does extensive practical ar t work for the Army an d for the Red Cross. Notable also is Hutton Webster, '29, who won the Pulitzer prize for paint ing. Less outstanding but still inspiring to the teacher are students who find their art training valuable only for pursuing a h obby such as a former student . now living on a western ra nch, who sketches horses and scenes around the ranch in her spare time. Probably the m ost interesting art activity ever d one by Lincoln h igh students since she has taught here w as the making of the m ur als for the west wall of cafeteria. "We had a special class formed to do those m urals. Every student w as intensely interest ed in the work knowing he was accom-
plishing something that would be helpful to his school," she commented. Sees Ruins ot Pompeii on F irst Trip, Of her four trips abroad, Miss Wilson's first and most enjoyable was made in 1925 w ith her parents. They saw the ruins of Pompeii and other places of historical interest in IMll.y. ''We rode along a mountain r f'lild a::. the southern coast -',t Italy and .l ooked out upon the Mediterranean Sea. I had heard about its wonderful color but never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it," the art teacher explained. Another year Miss Wilson went to t he School in F ountainbleau, France, to study. This school was located in an old palace and persons of many d ifferent nationalit ies went to study fine arts including music, architecture, sculpture and painting. "I enjoyed the difference b etween customs and language from what I had been used to," Miss. Wilson recalls. "One has to have a good sense of humor to have a successful stay in any foreign country." In speaking of the value gained from the study of art, Miss Wilson called attention to the fact that "one might study the history of mankind b y studying the art of all ages." "Using a rt material in history and literature study brings a better realization of the subject matter," she concluded .

"Because I have visited other places, I have painted scenes other than those of Nebraska," Mr. Nichols said. "I ca n't expect the natives o! those places to feel t hat I h ave faithfully pictured their lands, because my paintings show their land as they appear t o me, a Nebraskan." He went on to say that art should serve every useful purpose, not just in pict ures, b ut in all things we use and see daily. Included among Mr. Nichols' 26 paintings exhibited in Lincoln are "The Twins," "Cardb oard Mountains," "The Woman at the Gate," "Children of t he Sun," "After the Blizzard," and "The R ed Barn." Two of his pictures here are not l andscapes, but merely r epresent an artist's idea of having fun. They are called "Frustration," and "Hypochondriac." He set forth his artistic ideas when he said, "A friend once asked me why I did not paint a picture of the Chicago r iver. I an swered, "It would look like the P latte. . • • If I should paint the Chicago river I could make the p icture radiate the only river I know, the P latte. The Plat te w as my river. I lived ten miles from it. I w aded in its water s, picn icked its . sandy shores, feared its whirls and loved its sculpt ured, tree-fringed channels."

Home Economics Utilizes Furniture R ejuvenation
" People on Our Side" by Edgar Snow, is a book chiefly concerned with t he United States' three main allies, Russia, China a nd India, and their political outlook, their fight against the common enemy and their social and economic pr oblems. The six cha pters on I ndia are the clearest an d most explanatory that have. ever been combined in a book. The exciting chapt ers in Russia i s v ery much worih r eading, about post-war collabor ation with Russia and her allies for world peace. The report on China in this book is 'u p to the minute about the bewildering country. The author, Edgar Snow, is one of the m ost outstanding eorrespondents of our t ime. He has recently r eturned from a ' world assignment during which he visited seventeen countries, spending seven months in R ussia. and six months in China a nd India,. thus makin g this book up to d ate and true. For your reading pleast'.:are, Snow ha s a lso written two n.1ore very interesting books. They. are "Red Star Over China" and "Battle for Asia." "One Man Air J'ore.e" by Captain D on S. Gentile, is the true life story of an Ohi0> boy a nd his sensational adVtmtitres with the Huns.
Captain Gentile is the son of immigrant parents, so when he arose one morning and saw the headline "Ge r m a n y Invades Poland," Don, just out of high school, joined the R. A. F. A few w eeks of train ing was all he needed, and shortly he found himself in England, flying the Channel in his little Spitfire. June 22, 1942, w as the day h e put himself up against· tl> .· Huns for the first time. the group he was attach.id got Thun derbolts. At ·th.It time the Thunderbolt wes·a plane for limited offensive .dghting. Then after a few weeks, ')!is squadron was trans!erred to Mustangs. This is one of t he most exciting books t o come out of the war. It is full of action all the way through, especially when there is an air combat w ith the German air force. On Aptil 7, 1944, Captain Gentile had run his score of destroyed planes to thirty , with twenty-three in the air and seven on the ground and when his plane squadron was over Schweinfurt, he shot down three Messer schmitts, bringing his score to thirty-thr ee. Your Reviewer Says-Although the war is over in Germany, th is is one of th e best books on war her oes ever made about the men in t h e planes that fly over Berlin.

Girl Reserve Installation
At Y.W.C.A. With the traditional candlelighting ceremony and the installation of next semester's officers and cabinet members, a full year of Girl Reserves activities were brought to a close Monday, at the Y. W. C. A. Each new officer and cabinet member was led by this year's predecessor to form the inner circle about the outer circle formed by the old cabinet. These formed the circle about a triangle which is the Girl Reserves symbol. The new committee chairmen for the coming school year are: finance, June Hornby; membership, Ruth Speer; music, Ruth Ann Curtiss; p rogram, Willa Bubb; publicity, Evelyn Jaeger; service, Jer'e Ann Merritt, and social, Dorothy Speer. The program part of the ceremony was presented by Willa Bubb, accomapnied by Marilyn Mills, who sang "An Irish Lullaby" and by Ruth Sorensen, accompanied by Barbara Ebright, who played, as a violin solo, "lntermetzo." Each of the seniors of .the or·ganization was then presented with a rose, as is customary at the close of the club activities. Dr. William H. Guest gave a short address on the subject of ''Social Responsibilities." Refreshments were served :following the meeting.

Teacher Has Son In Germany Mrs. Katherine Henninger, home economics teacher at Lincoln high, is one of the teachers here who have sons in the service. Private Eldon Henninger is with the Ninth Armored division in the Reconnaissance Squadron. He drives a jeep. Eldon's division was the first to cross the Rhine at Raemagen bridge. ·He received his induction into the Army after graduating from Shattuck Military academy. Ca mp Robinson, Arkansas, was the site of his 17-weeks' basic training; frdm there he went to Fort George C. Meade, Maryland, for a few weeks and then to France. After moving to Belgium, he lived with a family and lived "in luxury" as he said, he was sleeping in "a bed with a real mattress and springs." Private Henninger has sent home many souvenirs of his tour of European duty. These include money from Germany, Belgium and France. A clipping that was sent to Mrs. Henninger from the Army p a per, Stars and Stripes, still has the German soil on it. · She also has several pictures of the Raemagen bridge which give excellent view s of the German side of the bridge.

Officer Selections Held at Mummers Nomination of next semesters officers was the main business at the Mummers meeting W ednesday, May 9. Those . n ominated were: for president, Mary Helen Mallory, Halcyon Coble and June Fisla r; vice-president, Betty Guidinger, Mary Lou Graham, and Fritz Squyres; secretary, Mary Desmond, Phyllis Cone and Betsy Yoder; for treasurer, Mary Lou Thompson, Frank Jacobs, and Geraldine Bricker; historian, Helen Gallager, Dick Sinclair and Roberta Bauman. The program was provided by Kathleen Donovan who gave a short review of John Gunther's recent book, "Inside Asia."
"date" someone else, but it's an impossibility to hurt their boy friend's feelings. Then there is the case of Sally with the long,. sad look on her face. Her b. · f . has left for the service and it's going to . be so hard to get back into circulation. Sue, her friend, has had the wool pulled over her eyes by her favorite beau who has been caught, hook, line and sinker by that flashy new "bfond deal'' just-arriving in town. " There will be a lot of nice boys coming home after the war, and girls will want to go· with them then," said Miss Dorcas Weatherby, counselor of girls. She also believes that a couple take each other too much for granted. " You'-re cheating yourself when you go steady, have less chance of broadening your views, and acquaintances," remarked Mrs. Ruth Pinney. "Girls who have one fellow are in a rut." "How is a person going to know about strawberry short cake," asks a noted psychologist, "if he's lived on nothing but oatmeal all his life?"
hours with one boy instead of indulging in variety which is the spice of life? Many and varied are the explanations. One might be the incident of a young high school girl patiently waiting, day after day, week after week, leaning against the ledge near the stairs. What was she waiting for? A Boy! A teacher who noticed this girl standing in ..the same place every morning approached the girl and asked, "Why don't you come into the room and let the boy do the waiting once?" The girl smiled and replied that she w ould rather wait there. The teacher mentioned the incident to an outsider who immediately told her that she had given the wrong advice to the girl. "If the girl didn't wait," she said~ "the boy would promptly find another girl!" Most girls agree that there is a shortage of "datable" boys and that by going steady they are sure of "dates". How ever, every girl h as her idea on the results. Two girl friends confide in each
Lincoln High Chemistry Department Is Host to Junior Civic League Students Seventh grade junior civic league pupils visited the chemistry department of Lincoln high school Wednesday, May 9, on their annual tour. Miss Fay I. Lapp, of Irving junior high school, conducted the tour. The young members of the group were brought to room 320 where Miss Mamie Short, of Lincoln high, gave a short talk on chemistry. During .the study half of the period, the pupils were directed
into the laboratory where they intelligently r o a m e d around watching the students do their. experiments. Several of the stu• dents stopped and explained to the junior high members what they were doing. The junior civic league is an organization which aids these young pupils in selecting their vocations by arranging for them to visit the various places of business, industry and institutions of higher learning throughout the city.

Health reports are being circulated this week to some students in Lincoln high and health graphs have been posted in the hall. These are given out in home rooms. "Our health correction recor d is much higher than the national average," said H. C. Mardis, princip al. A change has been made in the census forms distributed last week. Old forms consisted of the oldest member of the family filling out one large blank and the younger brother or sister of the oldest member filling out a smaller blank. New forms are the same for everybody and are written by the student, himself. Forms were made out during off-assembly periods and H. C. Mardis dictated over sound. New "Patriotic Service on the Home Front," a recent pamphlet, was distributed to all home rooms. Its topic, "The United Nations Will Have Difficult Problems to Handle After the War," is divided into six parts and written by T. V. Goodrich, director of pupil accounting research.

yard dash. Cleveland Marshall took the gold medal in both events. while his teammates Al Thompson and Aaron Dailey added their bit in the way of outdoing opposition. Lincoln's point getters were Jack Deffenbaugh, who went to the height of 11 feet 1 inch to earn a tie for third in the pole vault; Ed Donegan, who tied for third in the high jump; Gayle Lebsack placed second in the discus with a heave of 128' 3%'', and Don Bryant came through with a third in the mile run. Toogood, North Platte's double winner who nosed out Lebsock in the discus, also captured ·first in the shot put with a put of 4 7' 1/4" good for the gold medal in this event. Harold Kopf was probably the most outstanding athlete this year, as he captured three firsts afld nearly three gold medals. His first medal came when he nosed out Benson's Fritz Ware, defending champion, in the broad jump, by % inch. He then clipped off gold medal time in the 200 lows :23.3.

Marshall was the only defending champion who held his title and was the other double winner. Lincoln's Bud Lee set the pace in the 80 and held ' the lead all the way until the far turn where Benson's Jim Martin turned on the steam to win the event in good time of 2:02. North Platte added up a pleasant margin Friday when Yocum won the mile and Toogood added his pair of blues. Yocum's time was 4:48.3. The .Red and Black track crew, composed almost entirely of juniors and sophomores with very few exceptions, was enabled to get well acquainted with that valuable old man "experience." Though the Links, didn't reach their peak in more than one event, they came through to place in others. Defeating such teams as Omaha Central, Sioux City East, and a host of others throughout the year in previous meets, the Links learned much which is bound to make them one of the strongest, if not the strongest contenders in prep track competition next year.

reach first. After Gerlach had stolen second Bartlett hit a line drive to centcrfield to score Gerlach. Bartlett went to second when Plattsmouth threw to home in an effort to tag Gerlach. Gradoville walked Hubbell. Knopp then singled to fill the bases. Bony Hoffman was next at the plate. The first sacker connected to sen_c;l a high fly to left field to send in Bartlett from third after the catch. Wilson smacked a long fly to deep centerfield for a double and put Hubbell and Knopp across for two more runs. Many hits went without productive results in the scoring column. Lincoln's keystone sacker, ·John Gerlach, showed his wares at the plate when he smashed out a triple but the hit went for nothing because the side was retired before he could reach home. Before Plattsmouth toppled to the onslaughts of the Lincoln nine, the Blue Devils made a frantic last inning attempt to even the count. Although the main threats for victory 'were the defensive efforts of the Plattsmouth battery, the visiting aggregation gave the Links some hectic moments while at the plate.

The >:tate meet closed the books for the Lincoln trackmen. Although they took defeat in the final go, the Links season as a whole was a successful one. Priceless experience was gained at every meet, regardless of whether they were victorious or defeated. In future contests the Red and Black will be able to field a well balanced team that will be manned by experienced veterans of field and track. To produce a winning team req\lires patience, practice, courage, and among other things, a determined will to win. This year's was truly a winning team, even though they were not always triumphant.

But tl).ey had at all times a fighting determination to win that is typical Lincoln high tradition. Remembering the downpour which moved the 1943 state championships indoors, cindermen all over the state kept theri fingers crossed for a continuation of the warm weather to May 11 and 12 for the state meet. After being rained out last Wednesday, the Lincoln high baseball nine will travel today, weather permitting, to Boys Town, still trying to gain revenge for the 7-3 loss handed it by Father Flanagan's boys.

Sports Classes Keep Records Record Card Adopted From Army Training Now In Class Use A record card, an idea taken from the army basic training pro• gram, is being experimented with, this semester, in the boys physical education classes. The record card lists various events, such as the 100 yard dash, 440 and 880 yard runs, broad jump, push-ups, leg-lifts and rope climb. Every six weeks, three times a semester, all the boys in the classes have to do each of
at the card whether or not, the pupil has improved during the year. Some of the most disliked events seems to be the rope climb the 440 and 880 yard runs, and the mile walk. One should be able to tour the mile in under' twelve minutes. Eleven minutes is a good time and the record is approximately nine minutes and thirty seconds. When not working on the record card, the boys play basketball, football, baseball and sometimes run relays.

Next semester's girls' glee club will consist of 68 junior and sophomore _girls. Tryouts were held Tuesday, May 15, in room 326. Because of the many girls trying out, the competition was very keen.

Trophies. Awards Are Presented Trophies and awards in debate, journalism and athletics were presented to the school in assembly Tuesday and individuals who had won honor in these fields were recognized. Lois Johnson received the Daughters of American Revolution $50 scholarship given to a junior girl who is partially self supporting. Jack Amdrews won a Links for best subscription sales. Debate awards were as follows: Theodore Sorensen, Wendell Olson, Gordon Pauley, Everett Evnen, Richard Noble, Kellogg Wilson, Harold McNabb, Waldo Hansen. Advocate All American rating and Idea Award of the National scholastic press association was given by Shirley Lewis. The school was presented the Faulkner cup by Theodore Sorensen, winner of this trophy for two years. The Downer interclass debate cup, won by the sophomores, was given by Don Gish. Harris Gvares, president of the student council, accepted these awards in behalf of the school.
"I play the bells at First Plymouth church," was Mary Guest's answer to a query about herself. This was just one of the questions that appeared in the Lincoln high school senior questionnaire given recently, which asked for information for the last issue of the Advocate. This issue of May 30 is a senior issue and is devoted to the senior's interests and graduation . Della Ann Bogh and Mildred Quick are seniors who came to Lincoln high from out of state high schools. Della Ann Bogh attended Girls Polytechnic high school in Portland, Oregon, in July, 1944. After her graduation in June, she is going back to Portland. In 1942, Mildred Quick came to L.H.S. from East Denver high school in Denver, Colorado. Helen Colberg was born in London, England. Rex Dean Cox, Elaine Schiebinger, and Ruth Shank all aspire to be singers; while four other seniors, Helen Alfrey, Jo Ann Dunbar,. Madelyn. O'Brien. and Carmen Olson "love to write letters." "I play the drums a little," was the comment of Richard Macaluso. The field of sports came in for its share of attention, also. Alex Fink finds football and basketball interesting; Mary Hitz is "interested in sports;" and Art Parchen "loves" to play golf. Those interested in drawing are: Dorothy Dill, Jo Ann Baker, Art Parchen and Martha Temple. Beverly Jean Hatch is one of the few who can say that she has attended three high schools during her life. Le Roy Wilson rel&tee tmrt he Hhas never been absent or tardy." During his last year in high school, Delmar· Wilson has been in charge of the recapping department at a local tire company. Being the summer program director at the "Y" camp, is the duty of Ted Sorensen. Edward Linhart will soon be in the Navy. Being rejected once did not discourage him, for he then went to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and enlisted again. Assuming that he is probably the tallest boy in Lincoln high, is the statement of Robert Mills. He stands six feet, four and onehalf inches tall. Supplying the humorous touch to the questionnaire were four seniors who merely answered, "N. C.!"
Seniors to Hear Rev. H.F. Wonder Rev. Harold F. Wonder is scheduled to give the senior sermon, "The Attitude of an Educated Heart," Sunday, May 27 at 11 a. m. at Westminster Presbyterian church. There will be no change in the service, but it will be presented in the usual way, stated Rev. Wonder.

Sophomores Win· Debate Gish and Hancock Duo Defeat Junior B Team Of Davis and Winslow Donald Gish and Roger Hancock, the sophomore A team, took a 2 to 1 decision from the juniorsenior B team, Harry Davis and Fayette Winslow, using the topic "Peace Time Compulsory Military Training," to win the finals of the interclass debate tournament Friday, May 18. Judges for this debate were Robert Gillan, Ted Sorensen and Tom Sorensen. All three judges are former winners of the interclass debate cup. Robert Gillan and Tom Sorensen are now members of the University of Nebraska. The winners defending the negative contended that an international organization backed by adequately armed forces will prevent war. The losers, defending the affirmative, contended that a standing army backed by reserves is the only way possible for external security and the only logical way for these reserves is compulsory military training. The winners had previously defeated the sophomore D team, Cliff Berggren and Harold Davey. The judge for this event was Miss Florence Jenkins. The junior-senior team had previously defeated the D team of Marilyn Hergel and Marguerite Nootz. This is the first time for a number of years that girls have reached the semi-finals. This team had no previous experience. The judges for this event were Gordon Pauley, Kellogg Wilson and Wendell Olson.

The Rev. Floyd H. Rising of the First Methodist church will address the graduates, and a chorus representing all the Lincoln junior high schools, under the direction of Hugh Rangeler, will sing.

Presentation ot awards to out• standing seniors in the fields of schola,rship and athletics held the spotlight' in the annual senior awards assembly Monday. This year's Regents' scholarship winner was Marvin Bean, who ranked first in the University of Nebraska tests. The Regents' scholarship is given to one winner in each· of 250 Nebraska high schools and is good for tuition for the freshman year. Of this year's 250 winners, Marvin was among the top ten. Six boys dominated the alternate group from Lincoln high. , Those included were Harris Graves, James Hammond, Wen• dell Olson, Gordon Pauley, Ted Sorensen and Staton Vierck. Although the proportion of graduating seniors cut down the alternate group, fifteen pupils proved to have higher scores than the winners in some of the other schools. Those who received hon• orable mention were Kathleen Donovan, John Ernst, Catherine Hinericks, Arlene Leach, David Leonard, Gene Medley, Doris Ann Michael, Sharon Ann Nuss, Rob· ert Pfeiler, Mildred Quick, Lois Richmond, Beverly Sievers, Barbara Speer, Richard Srb and Sherrill von Bergen. Of the 36 Lincoln high pupils, who took the test, 22 were placed in the top fourth cf the state; ft in the next one-fourth; 3 in the next quarter; and 5 in the last 25 per cent although none of those were in the towest ten per cent. The award was made by Otto W. Hackman. Recipient of the scholarship key was Joan Farrar, who had the outstanding average of 1.19 through high school H. C. Mardis bestowed this and the next awards. Sweeping both Elk's scholarship awards, of $125, given to one boy and one girl in Lincoln high schools were Janet Oaks and wn.. liam Barrett. To Gladys Jordan, the Quota club award of $25 was presented by Mis Dorcas Weatherby. The Junior Chamber of Com• merce Scholarship award, worth $100, was given to Kathleen Don• ovan as a girl of "high scholarship, good citizenship and promise of future success" by Vaulx Risser. For the three best graduation dresses made by L. H. S. girls, Pat Graham, Lois Richmond, and Arlene Vosta were denoted as win• ners of the $5 prizes by Rotary Club representative, W. A. Rob.. bins. Gayle Lebsack was honored as being winner of the Harry Sidney Dobbins award. This year's winner of the girls athletic association cup was Nanc7 Finkle.
Links To Be Distributed Friday, May 25; Finished After Having Faced Many Problems Pictures of men in the service, map reading in pre-induction classes, experimenting with plane models· in aviation science classes, and paper colledions, all reflect the tense days which are pictured in the 1945 Links to be distributed Friday, May 25. Faced with wartime restrictions and material shortages, the Links board and staff have succeeded in meeting all deadlines. The engraving company cooperated by delivering all cuts in record time and the printer fed proof to the board in fine style. ,, Special features of this year's Links include pages devoted to pictures of former Lincoln high students who are now in the service, and two pages picturing the recreational activities of school life. Another innovation is the section called "Salvage From The Editor's Desk" in which the informal spirit of the book· culminates.
The Links owes its success to combined efforts of board and staff members. The cover design was executed by David Leonard, staff artist, whose excellent cartoons liven the book. The difficult task of assembling the senior pages was successfully met under the joint editorship of Robert Pfeiler, in charge of pictures, and Kathleen Donovdn, biographies. Cal Dunten, managing editor, assisted by Bob McConaughey, sports ·editor, arranged the sections and laid out the pages of the book. The business of editing copy written by Dean Arter, classes; Nancy Finkle, girls' sports; Darrell Herman, student activities, and Wynona McDermand, clubs, fell to Ronald Barnes, editor, and guiding spirit of the enterprise. Links typists were Virginia Brinkworth, Betty Barnhill and Marjorie Walker. Serving as publications chair-
man was Miss Sarah T. Muir, with Frank Kane ·as financial adviser, and Miss Nancie. Jane Wallace, editorial adviser. Business manager and secre· tary, Phyllis Rasmussen, spent many hours in tallying sales and checking receipts, Jack Andrews, a member of the salesmanship class, was winner of the Links contest, with 103 books to his credit. One thousand twenty-five copies of the Links, one of the largest number in recent years, were ·ordered. The 1945 Links will be distributed from the following home rooms at 3:15 Friday, May 25: Room1

Students Quitting School Create Great Problem This is a great problem which has risen all over the United States and is probably one of the hardest problems experts have had to solve. Students who quit school, when they are just sixteen or during their last year of high school will have numerous difficulties after the war. The only real reason boys have to quit high school is that they are eighteen and our country needs them to help fight the war and bring an everlasting peace to our country. Both girls and boys are quitting high schools by approximately the hundreds each week just because they are not interested or they feel that they have a job which will help them more through their lives than school work. After the war, veterans returning home will not be content sitting at home listening to people on the home front tell what they did to help win the war. The veterans will soon get tired of hearing this, so will go back to their previous employer and ask him if Le urn h ave.: his job b:wk.
Of
course, the employer will look around and keep the men and women who ha ve high·~r education and the students who did not finish high school will lose their jobs. This will not get these people any further ahead as very few jobs will be obtainable and what they will have to do is help at home or do work which requires the least skill in any occupation.
Victory Gardens To Be Planted A gain This Year About this time of year there comes a vigorous campaign to plant Victory gardens. This year, more than ever before, the . need for home grown foods will be greater, because we have now taken up the enormous task of feeding not only our allies, but the people in liberated and enemy countries. The drive to plant gardens is now receiving, and will continue to receive enough publication to put it firmly in the minds of the people. But once in their minds what will they do? First and most important, a Victory gardener's club should be organized. About two years ago there was an · unsuccessful attempt to organize one. The purpose of this club should be to have experienced gardeners talk on gardening. A club, or group of persons should see that pamphlets, posters, and other educational leaflets concerning gardening are passed out. Maybe we should have an assembly, in which the problems of the gardener are discussed. If some action were taken, and taken soon, then we Americans could not only boast to our neighbors of the fine crops we planted, but also what we got out of them.
Getting In Line Helps In Street Car Problem The 3 :20 Randolph streetcar has become
a problem of discourtesy and even at times a possible danger. A slight improvement has been made by forming lines to get on the streetcar, but what happens when students try to seat themselves after they get on the streetcar step, is beyond the control of the conductor and the innocent civilians sharing the car with the high school students. Many people have referred to this situation as a case of incivility which should be remedied by better practices of courtesy. A little less shoving and more "pardon me, please," when the pushing gets bad would help. The student who is in the habit of getting too much fun out of the whole thing by pushing and screaming and stepping all over everyone without a single word of apology, should picture himself as the one who is being pushed. He will, if he has any idea of manne.rs, decide it wasn't so much fun after all. With the improvement of forming lines getting an excellent response, the matter of courtesy within the streetcar should get the same response and with the aid of all students who ride on the street car, it · can be remedied.

School Superintendent: (cross-questioning the terrified class) ... "And now I want you boys to tell me who wrote 'Hamlet'." Frightened Boy: "P-p-please, sir,. .. it wasn't me!!" That same evening the superintendent was talking to his host, the squire of the village. The superintendent said: "Most amusing thing happened today. I was questioning the class over at the school, and I asked a boy who wrote 'Hamlet'. He answered tearfully, 'P-p-please, sir, it wasn't me.' " After ioud and prolonged laughter, the squire said: "That's pretty good, and I suppose the little rascal had done it all the time!!"

Open Forum To the Editor: Now is a busy time for seniors. National honor society, Links pietures, graduation announcements and plans, senior sermon-all of them increase the tempo of our last days in Lincoln high. But we seniors, as busy as we are, do realize that soon we shall leave behind our high-school days and go from Lincoln high, our "white spot" of the nation. It is hard to define our feelings of pride for our school and our regret upon leaving it, but maybe this poem can express in part what we feel at this time: To our home of democracy The backbone of literary, American's foundation, The base of our nation. To our school, Lincoln high We now say good-bye. You've passed on a part Of your spirit-your heart Of learning, of living of Receiving, of giving. We'll always keep driving For the honor we're striving. Though we leave with regret We'll never forget The joys we shared here Thy lessons we deem dear. The love in our hearts will never die For our only school, our Lincoln high. A Senior.

war. With ou. fr;f.ncts ana relatives figb.ting a :1d dying for us overseas, it is the duty of every student of Lincoln high to participate in the last paper drive o1 the school year. The drive is taking place on Thursday ant: Friday of this week. Since it is only two days, it means that every person should put forth more effort ·and bring every pound of paper possible. A collection of used notebook paper will take place in home room on Monday, May 28. A box has been provided for that purpose in every home room. If there is not a box in your home room, one may be obtained in room 116. The boxes will be taken at the end of home room period to the auto shop and the paper will be picked up from there. Assignments will be given on Thursday night this time due to examination week. Come on and all get busy. We'll show the boys overseas we are backing them every inch of the way to Japan.
'Iolanthe' Receives Acclaim By Opera Goers; Many Had Responsibility in Annual Production Delighted by the intriguing strains of "We Are Dainty Little Fairies," .voven into the entire opera, "Iolanthe," and highly pleased u .roughout were the large audiences which attended the Lincoln high school senior choir's presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan's comedy opera last Friday and Saturday nights. The production was under the dir ection of Hugh T. Rangeler, with Floyd Robbins as accompanist. The two acts of the opera were laid in the Palace Yard, Westminster Hall, in England. Because of the banishment of ;Iolanthe, played by Ruth Ellen Moll, by the fairy queen, · Beverly Sievers, for marrying a mortal, a crime against the fairy codes and laws which usually means death, the fairies were depressed when the curta ins opened. Although the fairies danced the same dances and sang the songs that Iolanthe taught them, there was an air of sadness because Iolanthe was not there to join with them. With the leading romatic roles of Strephon, played by J ohn Kirsch, and Phyllis, characterized by Nancy Pierson, love was brought into the now complicated plot. Confusion reigned supreme until the lord chancellor, portrayed by David Evans, cleverly amended the law to read that every fairy shall die who does not marry a mortal, thus bringing a pleasant surprise ending to the musical portrayal. The cast which was well chosen,
well directed, and beautifully costurned, was as follows : Celia . .. . . . . . . ... .. . . . Marga ret Robert son Leila . .... . .... . .. . . . . . . . .. . . . .

More Education Is Foremost in Seniors' Plans
Seniors Recommend From Experience Numerous Ideas for Improvement After three years in Lincoln high, the seniors have suggested numerous improvements when questioned. Suggested by the greatest number of students was more time allotted for lunch. The majority of seniors agreed that the 30m inut e lunch period should be extended to 45 minutes or an hour. More student participation and responsibility in school government was considered next in importance. Also suggested by many seniors was additional recreation. For t he seniors, more senior activit ies, su ch a s a senior prom, a senior picnic and senior assemblies. For the rest of the school, recreation such as more and better dances, noon dancing, rallies and picnics were suggested. Only a few students seemed to .nind the change from a senior picnic to an all school picnic and the omission of olympics. Since the improvement was made concerning the mirrors in the lavatories, only a few seniors recommended more mirrors. A few pupils suggested more films and pep assemblies. Some of the suggestions con-

Oue ~emor desire:; a career as an osteopath, one plans to become a health technician, one, a dentist and another will train to become a hospital technician. Perhaps Lincoln high school chemistry classes have aroused interest in jobs available as chemists. One senior has decided to become a research chemist, one would like just to be a chemist, and two pupils are interested in pharmacy. One senior wants to be a scientist. Many seniors have artistic talents and want to continue along this line. Ten wis h to be mus icians; two, commercial artists; three interior decorators; one, a book illustrator; three, artists; one boy plans to be a cartoonist, and one girl is interested in fashion designing. Four boys are going to st udy Jaw, two will take up aviation, four are interested in forestry, eleven pupils, will enter the journalistic field, three will be salesmen, two pupils will go into agriculture, two boys are planning to take up industrial arts, three plan to be social workers, two will
cerning the school hours besides that for a 48-hour week and timeand-a-half overtime, w ere those for more periods during the day, no home room periods, and the conflicting suggestion for a longer home room period, shorter school term, and the recommendation to the teachers to let the pupils use the study half of the period for studyi ng. Additional recommendations were better lighting in classrooms and the halls, more grammar in the English courses, less class distinction, more ca mpus cleanups, and better fire drills. Some of the sport s-minded seniors gave suggestions for the Lincoln :;portsworld which were: a better court for basketball and an improved swimming pool. One student suggested fixing the rooms to fit the subjects taugh t in them, while another ·suggested having a bigger building. Some of , those who have been in t he last lunch period recommended more food for last lunch, and one boy suggested an R. 0. T. C. If all t hese constructive suggestion are acted upon, Lincoln high will certainly be an ideal high school.
Question of the Week The seniors are the victims of the week ! ! ! They hav e consented with no hesitation (it sez here ! ! !) to answer this question. So here it is-What are you going to m iss most when you leave good ole L. H . S.? G loria Waugh-"Football and track season." (Could a certain fellow who answers to the name of Tom ha ve anything to do w ith this ?") Bob Walters-Margy Leeseha ha-that's funny!"

Paul Blumer_..:"Waiting for Phyllis after school-" enter library work, two boys will try their hands at carpentry, four pupils will study home economics, two will enter the field of adver" tising, and two boys believe they will take up aviation mechanics. Two boys desire to become ministers. Listed among the careers which only one senior thinks he or she would like to enter are housekeeping, banking, running a grocery store, physiology, recreational leadership, radio work, buying for a store, personnel work, drafting, operating a motion picture projector, mechanics, becoming a deaconess, psychiatric therapy, radio repairing, p hotography, aerial photography, dancing and candy making. One girl had a very novel idea -she would like to get married!

Spotlight In Band Claims Marches Marches and old favorites are claiming the spotlight in Bernard F. Nevin's second period band as the end of the semester draws near. The band seems to enjoy the playing of marches best, as they blast away and tap their feet to their hearts' content to the lively strains of "Bombasto," "His Honor," "El Capitan," and other well known marches. Members make requests for numbers they would like to sight read and the librarian digs into the stack of notes in the musical library and comes forth with varied styles and types of music. Classic numbers such as "La Feria" and "Masquerade" are not enjoyed quite so much as tl!le favorites, "The Student Prince" overture by Sigmund Romberg and "Caravan" overtures by Duke Ellington.
Peppers Discuss Traditional Picnic Discussion of the plans for the annual Peppers picnic to be held May 30, was the purpose of the special committee meeting called last week. The committee formulated plans for the food and agreed that the tradition of "bicyclepicnic" would again be used this year. All the present Peppers and recently chosen Peppers for next semester are cordially invited to attend. Tickets may be secured next week, the exact date to be announced over sound. The price will be 25 cents and one red point for each person. The committee is composed of Lorraine Beldin, Dorothy Borgens, Joan Farrar, Virginia Kellison, Jo Jen Loder and Ann Randolph.

FinJ,Je Given Cup Award
By G. A. A. Nancy Finkle, senior, won the coveted G.A.A. cup girl award for 1945. The sterling silver cup is awarded each year to the outstanding senior members of the girls athletic association. This senior girl is chosen by the members of G.A.A. Besides being active in sports, and a leader in the club she must also have maintained satisfactory citizenship, sportsmanship, and scholarship throughout her high school career. Nancy has participated in nine different sports, earning emblems in speedball, basketball, softball, tennis, table tennis, salesmanship, swimming, rhythmic dancing and archery. She has lettered in speedball, basketball, sales, and swimming and has been both president and treasurer of G.A.A. In presenting the cup at the awards assembly, Monday, May 21, Mis Dorcas Weatherby said of Nancy, "To an all-around good sport I award this cup.' '
2 War Veterans Return for Visit Pfc. Jack Stone, and S / Sgt. Robert Miller, recently returned home from the European theater of war visited L.H.S. last week. Jack had been missing three months in a German Prisoner of War camp and Bob had made some 34 missions over Germany in a B-24 bomber. Jack was in the infantry in Bastogne and other towns en route to Berlin, until he was captured by the Germans, marched from place to place for about two months, finally being placed for a month in Bad Orb, a prison camp, where he suffered frozen feet and hands. It was a day of joy for all involved when 7th army troops marched into Bad Orb, and liberated the inmates. Bob is a gunner on a B-24 and wears the Air Medal and four Oak leaf clusters. "We were never seriously hit," stated Bob, "but the· flak was rough.'' Jack is on a sixty-day furlough, after which he will report to Flat Springs, Ark., for a check-up, while Bob is on rotation and has to leave soon.

Due to the cold weather, lack of practice, and not enough signing up, there will be no tennis tournament this year, but classes are continuing as usual. In after school softball Jackie Boeka's team B was the final winner, Marian Ekblad's A team placed second, and Hazel Johnson's C team placed third. Plans are progressing for the G. A. A. picnic which will be held May 23, instead of the regular meeting.
Much Soap Use Stressed In Film "The skin is our first line of defense" stated ·a doctor in the movie, "Scrub Game," shown to all girls hygiene and girls gymnasium classes last week. There are from two to three million sweat glands in the body and clean skin keeps the sweat glands from getting clogged up and producing blackheads and bad and painful pimples. Plain soap and hot water is the best disinfectant. The U. S. uses more soap per person than any other country · in the world.

Throughout his high school course, Gayle Lebsack, known to all his friends as "Leb," has won honors, but probably the m ost cherished of his laurels is the Harry Sidney Dobbins award presented to him Monday morning, May 21, in the Senior awards Assembly of 1945. Joe W. Seacrest made the p resentation. "This award was established in 1913 by the parents of Harry Sidney Dobbins, who was a member of the class of 1912. In the intervening years the honor has been bestowed on 32 members of t he senior classes of the high school who had star red in athletics and had won high grade in their studies. "It has been t he hope of the donor of this medal that it would prove an inspiration to the members of athletic groups of the school to give to their work as students the same interest, devotion and spirit as they gave to th eir sports, and through the competition aroused raise the 20-yard free st yle-Pat Loudon, !irst. une H o rnby and Cather in e Worcuter tied general scholastic level of the Jfor second and third .place. 4:0 .. yard free atyle--Ce.therine Worcester. students today," stated Mr. Seafirst ; Shar on Nuss. second, and Mary crest.
