Few Changes Noticed For First Peace Year This year there IS ·a difference. This is the first time in four years that L. H. S. has opened during peacetime! As yet there are very few changes noticeable around school. Even when L. H. S. is back on a normal peacetime basis, the changes will not be great. Certainly, in time there will be a more complete faculty, no shortage of paper, a greater variety of foods in the lunch room-and, let us hope, a larger pat of butter. Even now the lift · on the ban of wartime travel has made it possible for the athletic teams to make more outstate trips, but as for really major changes, there will be very few if any. How lucky we are to have been so little affected during the most horrible war and greatest chaos of all time!
Atomic Bomb Gives Tqday's Mankind Universal Power In five short days after one small-sized bomb with an explosive core no larger than a man's hand was dropped from a lone bomber over the Japanese City of Hiroshima, the proud empire of Japan sued for peace. One bomb hastened the end of five years of fighting throughout the Pacific. The . explosion over Hiroshima did more than seal the doom of an already tottering Japanese empire and end history's most terrible war. Man had at last solved the mystery of the atom and as President Tri.Iman put it, harnessed the basic power of the universe, had loosed the force from which the sun draws its power and had brought one period of history to an end and ushered mankind into a new and worldshaking Atomic age. High school students all over the world realize that they are living in a period of . it: history where it is_a challenge to youth to ·,.use. this : marvelo1~.a ~:nd terrifying product ''of.'man's ;geniuil '.•~J\;good., an~ .. :r;ipt for the evil that 'lt ·can"bring on· the world. It may still be in 'a.' crude an9, ~ostly stage of development, but the secreCfor which the world's brilliant scientific minds have been searching for decades is known. All of the unlimited explosive energy of the earth's matter and of the universe, is at man's disposal! Some of the facts and figures statisticians have compiled for the American public, which we, the high school students are a part of, is that a handful of fuel may propel giant liners on the ocean or drive locomotives across a continent. Far more c~ang~s will come with the Atom age than did \_:Vlth the steam engine and the electric dynamo. . ~resident Truman has said that only the Umted States, Great Britain and Canada know the secrets of the Atom bomb. Whether these three countries can keep such a secret locked for many years no one knows. What military might could not do, the Atomic bomb did. The youth of the United States has to make a decision in regard to the atomic bomb-To new heights or complete destruction? Only time will tell.
Cafeteria Improvement Over Last Fall System The cafeteria this year is certainly an improvement over last fall. Thanks go to the health committee and their sponsor, Miss Ethel Murray, and to H. C. Mardis, principal, who have made it a much more enjoyable place to eat our lunches. Coming in the end doors and following the line is much better than everybody walking, sometimes running, every· way. The prompt adjustments after the first few days in size of groups in each of the seven l~nch periods has equa.lized time spent in Ime. Also additional cash register help speeds movement of lines. We know the food is really worth hurry· ing for, but it will be there, so let's not run, push, or shove. After having eaten, ·don't walk off just leaving the dirty dishes there for someone else to pick up. Take them to the kitchen window. There will be some other. person that wants a clean jJlace to eat his or her lunch, just as you did. We know lunch time is the best part of the day, so let's keep it a place where everyone likes to be.

Shortage Of Heavy Paper Stock ls A Grave Probem In Print Shops One of the gravest problems to print shops is the shortage of paper, heavy and small," declared James Wallace, i nstructor of the Lincoln high school print shop. Colored paper is the hardest to get, aiong with heavy weight paper and other paper supplies," M r. Wallace declared.

hygiene class Monday, Sept ember 10. Lt. Backoven, ' 40, served in the quartermaster corps with the ninth army in England, France and Germany. Commenting on Parisian fashions, Lt. Backov en said they were the most groteque he had ever seen. "Th e h airdos of French girls are extremely elabor ate and colorful. They dye thei.r h air in streaks of almost ., every coior o:f the rainbow. It is not unusual," he stated, "to see hair piled in layers, each layer being a different color." He also said that German women were surprisingly well dressed. Even as they returned t o their bombed-out homes after hiding in caves, t he majority of them wore silk hose. Lt. Backoven is on a 30-day leav e in Lincoln, after which he w ill report for reassignment.

J une 28, 1945, pupils are dism issed from school in one of the daily rain s w hich have been o ccuring for quite some t ime. September 5, 1945, students r eturn during a heat wave in which t hey 1'tve sweltered for the past month. If one chooses to defend Nebraska weather, he might p oint out that some three months had elapsed between the t wo dates. Consider then, the fact that bet w een F riday, September 10, and Monday, September 13, the difference betw een the extreme temperatures of the two days was 45 degrees.

A fast inexperienced Lincoln high team, gained revenge for its only defeat last season by whip• ping the Kearney Bearcats Friday night by a score of 12 to 6 in the oval. "Boney" Hoffman, lone re. tu_rning regular from last year's ;'4uad, spark-plugged the team ;}tt).lil he was taken _ out in the ~cbnd quarter, due to injuries. ''. Lincoln's first touchdown came in the first quarter on a Hoffman• to-Gunderson pass from deep in Kearney territory. The try for point by Bergquist was off. The first quarter ended shortly after with the ball in Kearney's pos• session. Bergquist and Grady took up the ball handling duties during the second quarter, and marched through Kearney territory to -the ten-yard line where Al Bergquist tallied the second touchdown on a quar terback sneak. The try for point was no good. The half ended with the ball in possession of Lincoln after fumbles were exchanged by both Kearney and Lincoln. Kearney 's lone tally came after a fumble by :aergquist on the Lin• coln 41-yard line. - Kearney's Snider and Finstrom br ought the ball to the Lincoln 3-yard line where Snider scored on a quarter• back sneak. The try for point by Finstrom was blocked. During the last quarter, Kear~ ney's last hope for victory was lost when Finstrom fumbled on the Lincoln 8-yard line and Lin· coln recovered. Lincoln then took the ball out of danger and kept possession until the gun ended the game. Top men for Kearney were: Oldfather, Clancy and Snider; for Lincoln, Hoffman and ·Grady ·in the back field, and Etmund, Donegan, Batt, Wenke, Rebensdorf and Lubke on line.

2 More Graduates Worked on Bonib Besides the three mentioned last week, two more Lincoln high graduates have worked on the atomic bomb. They are Max E. Yates, '36, and Dean Johnson. In April, '44, Mr. Yates went to Richland,. Washington, where he was an assignment engineer. He never said a word about what he was doing, not even after the first attack. He said that all· they could tal kabout was what we ·had already read in the newspapers and heard over the radio. He is still workirtg with the company at Richland-. While in· Lincoln high he played in the school band. He went to "t he University of Nebraska and entered the mechanical engineering school, graduating in June, 1941. After graduation he went to Bridgeport, Conn., and trained for a . position with Remirtgton Arms at Independence Mo. From there he was sent to the Chicago university for special training in November, 1943. He has a sister, Mildred Yii,tes, in Lirtcoln high at the present time. Dean Johnson, now of Los Angeles, Calif., also worked on the atomic bomb. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, the former Olive Larson, also an L.H.S. graduat e,. were here for a visit during August. Dean and Olive are J eanette and Willesta Ogle's uncle and aunt.
Three pupils narrowly escaped · serious injury Thursday night when their car rolled down the embankment of Antelope creek in · Antelope park and t urned over, resting on its roof. The t wo suffering injuries were Bunnie Motz, with a possible broken shoulder, and Vada May with a badly mangled wrist. Shirley Valentiner escaped with no injuries. Accorciing to the driver, he was driving through the park on a road which was familiar to him. He swung off the road and intended to make a U-turn; however, he apparently misjudged his position. The right wheel went over the edge of the embankment and the car rolled down the embankment. The bottom of the .creek is narrow at that point so the car came to a. stop instead of continuing to roll. Lois Wendelin and Carroll Erickson, both juniors were injured Sept. 16 at the intersection of fourteenth and H as the car in which they were riding collided with one· driven by Sgt. Edward c. Whalen. Carroll returned to school Sept. 20 and Lois this week. James W. Bartlett, '45 driver of the car and James Moeller also suffered minor injuries. Carroll's left arm was injured while Lois was most seriously injured. She was t reated for body bruises and jaw injuries.
Score Board Completed Now After two years of hard work by the trades preparatory classes of Lincoln high, the scoreboard is ready and in good condition for the next game with Sioux City E·a st high school September 28. It was supposed to be in good condition for the Kearney game, but several kinks had to be taken care of. It proved to be valuable exp erience for the classes. The red and black board had approximately 6,000 feet .of wire, 375 relays with about 225 light bulbs. The complete board is valued at about $1,000 with the motor and gears at $65.00. Boys :who are mainly responsible for the new score board are: . Curtiss Belle, Russell White, Ronald Jacoby, LaVern McCracken, Jim Monk, Edward Schnieder and Dick McCracken.
Important dates in American history were the subject of the Rev. Harold F. Wonder's speech last Monday, September 17, for the double assembl;y in recognition of Constitution day. Special emphasis was put on the date March 1, 1781, at which time the Revolutionary war had ended and the congress of the confederacy was being set up. The second date, September 17, 1787, the Constitution was made public. The period between these years was particularly difficult and there was a feeling for need of a stronger central government. Fifty-five men debated, worked and labored in Philadelphia from May to September, 1787, to draft a Constitution. The language of the Constitution is that of James Madison. It provides for executive, legislative and judicial departments in the government. By June, 1788, nine of the thirtenn states had ratified it and in 1789 George Washington was elected the first president. "While liberty always comes at a cost: it is more costly to keep it," the speaker declared . We guarantee freedom to minority groups yet we must keep these minorities from destroying freedom of us all. "If 13 diversed colonies could be brought together, there is hope for the nations of the world to come together to make a United States of the world," he concluded. The assembly was opened by singing the first and last stanzas of "America" led by Hugh Rangeler and accompanied by Miss Dorthea , Gore.

School Should Unite in Support of Boys Pep Club
Cutest couple of the week: Marge Walker and Virg Reigert.
How many of you Lincoln high boys call yourselves true Lincoln high supporters? Almost everyone of you would answer, "I am," loud and strong. How many of you have ever given thought to joining a real honest to goodness boys pep club, ·backed whole heartedly by the team and all interested in the same fact; that is, helping Lincoln -high piayers to win our games. Of course some of you are going to ask -'How can I help win a game in a pep club?" Have you ever stopped to think how disheartening it must be to a player, who is really playing a swell game, to glance over to the side lines and see a group of boys 11tanding here and there, doing nothing toward backing the team or encouraging the crowd to do the same? But let's change the' picture. Now he sees on the sidelines this same· group of boys yelling for him and his fellow players. "Gee!" the player says to himself, "Those fellows really mean what they are yelling.

Last year, just such a club was started in Lincoln high, known around the school as the "SALTS." This organization is sponsored under the direction of Carl Manthey and Alva Cavett. Now boys, let's see if the school can't organize as splendid a pep club as the girls have, so when tryouts are announced some time this week, -all you good yellers and loyal Lincoln high backers be on hand to show your support.
Be More Careful .Driving ~nd Help Save Lives Since the war has ended bringing an almost immediate end to gas rationing, many cars have returned to the streets and highways. But as most of the tires and main parts of cars are worn, it has become mor~ and more dangerous to drive. If you have picked up the daily papers lately, you will see that more and more accidents occur every day. So you can see that we as high school drivers need to be more careful. Have you ever stopped to think what it would be like to hit a child, man or a woman? Last year when t here were fewer cars on the roads, 24,300 people were killed by car accidents in the United States. In Lincoln alone we had four fatalities last year. But not only do vehicle operators need to be careful, but also we that walk and ride bicycles need to watch our step, as it is not always the driver's fault in the acci· dent. In the f uture, drive more carefully, and when you walk, be careful that your next step won't be your last step.
Watch Railroad Track, A void Needless Accidents A .safety program in every school curriculum was urged by William L. Jeffers, president of the Union Pacific railroad, in a stat ement r ecently. "The old ounce of prevention will l,J.ave . an immeasurable amount of grief," he de~ed. ' • ;; ~. ~~,-.,d~nts are urged to st~y ,awZ.:y. from the · ; "r~.

A ~ey bQy was fatally injured when :he walked into a locomotive wb.ile r eading, book. · Thi&should be a good example for L,H.S. pupils, who should be especially cautious because the tracks are so near the school. Accidents could easily occur during football practice and by not observing t rain sig1als.

Roma Johnson provided some solid p iano. Next the trumpet of J immy P hillips and, l ast bu t not least, some good clarinet work by Bob Resseguie. F or ten minutes the combo issued forth with r eal · "ala h ot" music. After a swell .c horus by Roma, t h e combo decided on som e "blues stu ff." Five minut es of b lues was wonderful. One of the combo left for an appointment but the other three carried on in great style.

the United States but it must be something different here. New students, who have come this fall from all p arts of the United States, have varied backgrounds. Two entering from Ohio are Bob Wiley and Marygene Smith. Bob w as very interested in golf and swimming when he was in Akron, Ohio, and to him an important feature around Lincoln high· seems to be the swimming pool. Margyene came from a rather small school in Bridgeport, Ohio a nd states she'd rather go to to a large. school because "you h ave mor e opp ortunities then you ordinarily would have in a small school." Tom Rische hails from Clovis, New Mexico. Lincoln high seems t o offer a greater and b etter variety of subjects for Tom and he likes this part of the country b etter than New M exico. Lorraine Williams w ent to an all girls school in New Orleans, L ouisiana. They held b oat rides once a month and invited other schools to join them . Donald Bahm enjoyes the ch emical laboratory a s it is better for his chemical engineering interest than the one in P olyt echnic high in Los Angeles, California . Donald has returned to Lincoln as a senior after a year on the west coast. P atsy Wilson from Atlanta, Georgia, finds Lincoln "somewhat the same, only in Atlanta the students were allowed fraternities and sororities." Gunderson Likes L. H. 's. Best. Most boys ·wouldn't want to change schools w hhe still in high
Since football is his main interest he keeps himself busy with after school practice and classes. Anyone could ask Ted and he would say, "Football, I love it." Iowa City high was not so big as Lincoln high, but Ted has found the teachers and pupils just as frie~dly and nice. Of all the schools he has gone to in Denver, Kansas and Iowa City, he likes Lincoln high the best. Jean Ann McLaughlin, a senior, entered Lincoln high this year from Midland, Texas, where she has r esided for five years. She previously lived in Lincoln. Jean became a member of the national honor society while in Texas. She was a member of the dram atic . club and took part in the all school play, " The Family Portrait." Am ong Jean's activities were being a member of the Pep squad, class reporter in her freshman year, a member of the tumbling club, and being on the committee for the junior-senior banquet. Jean claims that the people of Midland were very friendly and she enjoyed them immensely. There were six periods a day at school, w ith a study hall every day and one h our for lunch. The Bulldog was the name of the school paper. She stated that Lincoln high is a very beautiful school, but also very large and confusing. Among the· new students n ow enrolled in Lincoln h igh comes Dick Means, a junior, from Beloit high school in Beloit, WisDick, while at Beloit consin. high, was a m ember of the sopho-

Lincoln high will be gunning for its third straight victory Frif!ay night as it meets the Black Raiders of Sioux City East at 7:45 a t the L.H.S. oval. It will be the opening Missouri Valley contest for the Red and Black team who has two victories under its belt. The Raiders have never de.f eated the Links in a series that started back in 1935 when the Lincoln boys came out ahead 34-0. The two teams have met four times since then, with the Beechnermen winning 14-0 in 1940 and 21-13 in 1941. Two games were' deadlocked-1937 .found a scoreless tie and last year the score was 6-6. Last year the Links were outplayed by the fast charging Iowa club, but John Gerlach's 63-yard run kept the Lings in the game. Alex Fink's punting pulled the Nebraskans out of many a tight spot. Sioux City had the ball on the Lincoln one foot line in the final minute, but a fumble saved the R ed and Black from a possible defeat. The line play by Egger and Kirkendall, as w ell as the line backing of Hergert and Kelly, proved a big factor in holding down the Iowans. This year Lincoln has defeated the strong K earney club and had · a fairly easy time at St. Joe, so the team should be in top shape to meet the Raiders.

I By Knox J'ones With two victories under their belts and a clean slate in the losing column, the Links take on a tough club from Sioux City East this Friday in the Lincoln oval. Two of the main reasons the home team will give the visiting Raiders a rough time are first string tackles Leonard "Jughead" Rebensdorf and Don Batt. Batt, who stands 6 feet even and weighs in at 194, did a fine job in taking care of Marvin Gill, Kearney tackle, and is expected to make a repeat performance. Although he is hampered by a bad knee, Don's alert line play stops many a run which was earmarked for a long gain. Rebensdorf, an equally fine defensive man, is also a good downfield blocker and continually opens up "truck" holes in the right side of the line for Lincoln backfield men to pour through for good gains. "Jughead," the only returning tackle from l ast year's squad, was game captain at St. Joe. Harry Davis and Howard Doerr, second string tackles, both did a fine job a t St. Joe, Davis filling in the entire second half after Rebensdorf injured his ankle. They are followed by Ernie Lowder, from last year 's reserve squad, and Ed Weir, converted end, who will both return next year and should go places on next season's team.

Mrs. Francis Rein Relates Incidents of Trip to Missouri Ozarks in Jalopy
"Oh; it was fun!" In an interview about h er vacation Mrs. Francis Rein bubbled with r apture about her trip to the Ozarks. "I've had no vacation for ten years because of three older folks in the family," he related. · She first went to the Ozarks in 1929 for fishing a nd sight seeing. It is the country that is written about in "The S hepherd of the Hills," and is beau tiful. With a need for transportation within rationing, Mr. and Mrs. Rein bought an old "Jallopy." "We. knew before we started that its pulse beat (motor) was all right- but had doubts about shoes. The 0. P. A. allowed us one new tire and we left August 4. When the "Jaloppy" ran easily to St. Jo, Missouri, it was nicknamed "Sweetheart." Then a few miles out of the city she deve-

loped lung trouble, popped and spurted and finally died for the moment on a hillside. "One thing with a "J allopy'; is the mechanism is so simple and it's fun to play around' with, so that plenty of farmers stopped to aid us," she said. Mrs. Rein found the lungs (battery) dragging, so they wired them in place with bailing wire. "In St. Jo on the busiest hill we climbed ~he popped again, and we found the ignition was on upside down.

Repeat Last Years Win, Hughes and Grady Standout Lincoln high duplicated its 1944 performance by rolling over the St. Joe Indians 41-0 Friday night at .the Missourians' Municipal stadium. Lincoln, paced by Duane Grady, Ch:...ick Hughes and Al Bergquist, came back in the second half to give the fans a doubleheader game. After a slow first half, which found the Red and Black losing more than it made through penalties and one touchdown, a pass from Bergquist to Gunderson, annulled by a holding penalty, exploded in the second half and garnered 33 points. The first scor e came on a short plunge through the line from three yards out by Duane Grade, Links star back. Bergquist's kick was wide of the uprights as Lincoln took the lead 6 to O early in the second quarter. A short tini.e later a bad pass from center by a St. Joe player rolled backward into the end zone and Diggs, Indian back, fell on the ball, being smothered by a host of Links. This ended the scoring for the first half with Lincoln leaving the field with an 8 to 0 lead. The Links looked like a different team the second half as it started the fireworks which would net 33 more points. Bill Wenke, Red and Black end, intercepted a pass thrown by Diggs, a left hander, .and drove to the one yard line. Grady then went over for the score. Chuck Hughes, transferee from Kemper Military academy, provided the thrill of the evening as he took the ball from his own 35 and scampered 65 yards to scor e. Later in• the third quarter Ed McEachen went over from the 10 to make it 27. Al Bergquist carried the ball arou nd .end a few plays later to bring the count to 34. The last score of the evening came as the Red and Black reserves took over on the midfield stripe and moved the ball down the field. A pass from Kortum to Rocke set up the play on the 10 yard line and on the next play Hughes swept around his own left end for the final score of the game. The pass from Bergquist to Donegan was good and the game ended one play later with Lincoln having 41 and St. Joe 0. Most of the ground gained by Central was by penalties. There were ten penalties, totaling 155 yards. An offside penalty brought it to 160 for the game. Beechner's entire squad saw action with only two players being benched because of injur ies. "Jug" Rebensdorf, game captain, and Mel Knopp were both lost in the first hfllf. The Links backfield played a
bangup · game, as did Wenke, Donegan and Etmund on the line. Outstanding for St. Joe wal Diggs, Bill Blodgett and De• Wikesten.

Switchboard Work Shows V agarities Of Travelers Ilene Starkel, a junior had the. experience of working on a switchboard at a railway station last summer. The first impression of the switchboard to a spectator would probably be a Christmas tree, be· cause of the m any lights flickering. Once the technique .of op• erating the board is learned, ft seems to the operator, a mono• tonous machine. Of course to break the monotony the Qperator receives such class as the innocent child asking if B-B guns are permitted o~, trains, women asking why a train is late, and others inquiring about the conditions on trains (knowing full well that all trains are packed ), Very often she wants t o forget her business lingo and say, "Oh shut up," instead of, "Please limit your calls." . You h ave all h eard the joke about the engineer who calls the operator, asking for the time, A minute after setting his watch for 7:59 o'clock he blows the 8:00 o'clock whistle,. and the operator·· then sets her clock. That way everything is run on· schedule. At any rate Ilene states, that a railway station is no dull place especially during times like these, when travel is still a necessity for the Armed forces;

Educational OpPortunities Are Offered to Veterans "I want a good job when I get home and I am going to finish my education." These remarks are typical of some of the returning veterans leaving Army and Navy duty to return to civilian life. Constituting one of the gravest problems of the day, the returning veteran is a subject in every political and social meeting over the entire United States. Some returning veterans want to go· back to school immediately. In Lincoln high school some · servicemen from this war have returned to finish their high school education, while many are finishing their high ~chool education at university extension classes. High school students -are not in a very good position to tell others to return to school when many high school students have never been away from school for a p~riod it~~~ months,. but by ~udging from commenbJ,.,of ·returnmg servicemen, an educa,P!1ii,.m eans future security to them and .to :t11:e11< country. · ~;;r.~J!hi.ough articles have .been written on the "vailue of an education," but no greater ex"'*ple can be shown by the discharge of -m't11rning servicemen of World War I irt l iS13, and their problems. When these men were discharged some . went to schools, others didn't. The result was that the majority of the ones who went back to school concluded their educations in good business and government offices, while many of the others are still no higher than before. Returning servicemen, so older advisers say, are at the crossroads of their careers. Let them make a wise choice! ..... ..f,·;
Lincoln High Library a Big Help to All Pupils If more students in L. H. S. would get into · the habit of going to the Lincoln high library when they are sophomores, or even later, they .would be rewarded many times over. Many wonderful books are contained there. There are general and specified reference books on any subject you could take, as well as many books only for recreational reading. There are stacks of fiction and non-fiction books and curr~nt magazines on various current topics that provide interesting reading. The L. H. S. library is a very cheerie, quiet, ideal place to read. Why not go and find out for yourself some free time ?
Back to Normalcy Cry Heard by High School Pupils Back to normalcy! This was a common cry after World War I and is now being echoed throughout the world today. A German colonel leaving the Allied armistice representatives in 1919 made the less conspicuous remark of "Au revoir, in twenty years'." The first was a complacent myth; the second a deadly prophecy. Having seen the co~sequences, we must not let the ideas prevail more that we hav~ put our sword in our scabbard a second time after success on the battlefield. With V-J Day came the end of only onethird of the second struggle for civilization. We are now entering our first peacetime semester in three and a half years with .the release of many of our temporary wartime restrictions, but that must not blind us that we have two-thirds of the war to finish. Only the military end is accomplished. A war fo~ght by a government of, by, and for the people is a war of, by, and for the people. And the safeguard of the people is its young men and women. The high school students of today will win or lose the political and economic war of our immediate tomorrow: Will the indelible imprint of this conflict be stamped :Permanently upon modern civilization? With our political and economic war still to be won, there can be no real postwar normalcy. From The Tower...,Grosse Pointe High School Grosse Pointe, Michigan

Post War Ideas of Lincoln High Point to Snackbars, Ballrooms, Radio St u d e n t "postwar dreamers" haven't completed all their plans for an ideal L.H.S., but slowly they are drafting a huge list of wonderful ideas for a superschool. One mi.;,~~ start from the beginning, so the first improvement would be a huge five-story building with a shatterproof dome, made of plastic. The dome would cover the top of the building. It would house a swimming and diving pool for summer and a fine skating rink for winter. This part would be furnished with red leather .easy chairs and sofas, super-modern tables and chairs, radio, and a snack bar. On the other half of the roof would be a beautiful palm ·garden ballroom, with a soda fountain and big comfortable lounges. The band stand v.wuld also be perfect. The present oval would be a huge four-run cafeteria, a balcony affair, with a seating capacity of 4,000. The accoustics would be perfect for music during lunch. There would also be a patio addition for those who finish early · lunches and wish to relax. The menu would be improved greatly with a few features such a s steaks, malts, more good home style· . bread and rolls with plenty of butter. Each f!oor in the building would be soundproof and would be a different color than the floor below or above. Each r oom would be soundproof and have a dif-
Cooking Class
Introduced for All Future Chefs "It's all right, if you're figuring on staying single," is the comment of one of the 20 students in boys second period home economics class, room 124. This class, conducted by Mrs. Katherine Henninger, has been resumed after a lapse of three years. When questioned as to the abilities of the boys, Mrs. Henninger replied, "They're a fine group of boys and are doing very nicely." Learning which foods to put in the refrigerator and which ones to store without refrigeration was one project, while another has been getting acquainted with and learning the use of different kitchen equipment. Wednesday, September · 19, a breakfast consisting of orange juice, toast, bacon, eggs and milk was prepared by the group. This was the forerunner of different types of meals to be served this semester. It is also worth noting that st> far casualties such as cuts, burns, a nd displays of temperament, have been light.
Toss-up Between Slow Wood Ticks and Fast Jiggers There is one consolation in not having a lot of pine trees around Lincoln, that there ar e no wood ticks. We go through the summer bein,g nagged by jiggers, they bite one as soon as he steps on the grass. But one thing we don't have in Lincoln is wood ticks. It is . a well known fact that turtles are slow, but have you ever watched wood t icks crawl? A . wood tick is at least five times slower than a turtle . One.pupil reports, "When I was .. taking my summer vacation froin L.H.S. up in the woods where wood ticks are plentiful, one got on my wrist. It took as I timed it exactly thirteen and one-half minutes for it to maanipulate itself up to my elbow . "Apparently not liking the territory up there it retraced its tracks and in sixteen minutes was back where it had started from. I suppose he intended to dip in there but he accidentally fell to the ground and 'dug in' there with the aid of my shoe on top of him." The conclusion to this incident is that there are exceptions to some proverbs. Anyway. who ever heard of a turtle craw ling up a person's arm!

First impr~ssions of Manila as given by Pfc. Ed Gallagher, former . L.H.S. student, after a 37-day trip from France to J¥anila via the Panama canal, are of a city of destruction. "Manila is a terrible mess," Pfc. Gallagher writes. "I don't believe there is a building that didn't suffer some damage. Almost all of them were completely demolis_hed. I have never seen anything like it, nor could I ever imagine anything so completely destroyed. "There were some beautiful structures before the war. Office buildings, apartments, hospitals, churches, colleges, all of them symbols of a people struggling for a 'higher plane of civilization, now literally ruined. "Everything teems with confusion. People walk the streets day and night. It makes one wonder where they are all going. Youngsters, hardly big enough to ·walk, are out running around day and night, and barefooted men and women, boys and girls, with the characteristic bundle of laundry or large baskets of fruit over their heads, walk along with other bundles in their arms, very much at ease and unconcerned about it all." He comments on the exorbient prices Americans have to pay for commodities~ For example,.. he bought an ice cream cone.• a little cup made of a wafer-like sub-· stance, unsweetened, and about the shape of a dixie cup only much smaller. Of course there is no milk to spare for such luxuries as ke cream so they do the next best thing. The price for this delicacy was one peso, which is fifty cents. Filipino boys paid ten centavos (five cents) for the same thing. "In spite of all this, one can well imagine how pleasant it would have been to visit old Manila before the war," he concludes.

Jo Anne Wagener, entering last week from Western high school in Washington, was a student at Irv• ing before she left in 1943. In Washington sh e found the Senate Gallery very fascinating. She said Gordon Junior high there was v ery different from Irving. After Gordon, she went to Western which, according to J o Anne, is th e second leading high school in the United States. It is not so large as Lincoln high. Jo Anne is now a junior in Lincoln high school. A new'·st udent in Lincoln high school is Arvid · Gudmundson, a sophomore, who comes to Lincoln from Chicago, Illinois.

Entering Lincoln h igh last week from Alhambra high scnool, Alhambra, Californ'fa, was Joan Wetzel, who was born in the Philippine Islands ,and attended · school in t he t enth grade in Brazil. Joan left the P hilippines at the age of four, so she doesn't remember m uch about them; however, she explained much about h er experiences in Brazil, She attended an American school in Sao Paulo and lear ned the P ortuguese language. Joan states that all Brazilian boys wear short pants until they enter high school and that most of them have m ustaches. While attending Alhambra h igh school , she was a member of the Latin club and the Scientia. Joan entered Lincoln h igh as an llA.

Red ana Black Trim Raiders 14-7 Linl~s
Tackle Panhandle Club At The Bluffs Returning to state competition this week, Coach Ralph Beechner and his 28 man squad will Journey to the Panhandle country this week to meet the Scottsbluff Bearcats Friday night. With two straight outstate victories under their belts, the Links will be seeking their fourth straight win and their second scratch on the state slate. The Red and Black have defeated Kearney, St. Joe and Sioux City East, for their first Missouri Valley win, and will be in top shape for the important encounter. Scottsbluff has a clean slate so far, defeating Gering 31-0 and Mitchell 13-0. Lincoln will be facing the same menace this year as it did last year, Jerry Ferguson and his aerial circus. In the 194tf contest the ~eech ner men downed the "Cats" 18-6, hitting pay dirt twice in the first . half and matching Ferguson's passing parade with a 49 yard run by Alex Fink in the last half. The first score of the game came with Boney Hoffman taking Elmo Harris' punt at midfield and returning to the Scottsbluff 38. The Links needed only four plays to score. Hoffman took a lateral on the 19 and ran the left side for the score. Finks pass for the ex:tra point was incomplete. The two teams battled on even terms the secand stanza until the Lincoln clan exploded with a "Kirkenball SpeCial", pass from Fink to Hubbell in the flat who flipped the seed to end Buddy Lee in the end zone for the second counter. The pass for the extra point was complete but Hubbell failed to cross· the double stripe. The Red and Black left the field at the half with a 12-0 lead. Both clubs played a tight defensive game in the second half, hut Ferguson began his aerial warfare and connected 3 passes each netting 18 yards. Kelly's interception halted the drive on the Links 46. After an exchange of punts, the Bearcats uncorked a pass for a touchdown. The "Cats" sent 3 men out to the right flats in a spread formation and Ferguson standing on his own 48 pitched to Ellis for their lone score. In the last frame the Links started another drive. With beautiful blocking on the next play Fink scampered from the "Cats" 49 to score the final tally of the evening. This year's game promises to be another passing parade by the Scottsbluff crew and more power by the capital city club. The Links will leav!I..- Lincoln Thursday morning on a chartered bus and work out on the way.
Mardis Lauds Conduct in Surprise Fire Drill That the building was thoroughly cleared in less than three minutes was the comment of H. C. Mardis, principal, in a surprise announcement over sound Monday, after the exit drill.
With three wins in the bag and an eye on the state championship, Coach Beecher's Links head for Scottsbluff this weekend for a tussel with the tough Scottsbluff Bearcats who are currently rated above Lincoln in dass A standings. Scottsbluff, also undefeated in three games, will be out to beat the Links and revenge last year's 18-6 setback at Lincoln. · Three reasons why the Bearcats will have a rough time of it are Wayne Lubke, Bob Becker and Bill Kimball t op-notch guards on this season's Lincoln grid machine. Lubke and Becker are probable starters while Kimball is an able replacement and will see plenty of service. Lubke, up from last years reserve squad, makes up in fight what he lacks in height and makes a fine guard, especially on defense. His scrappy play and frequent sub-marining stops many plays through the center .of the line before they get started. Becker, the only returning letterman at the guard spot, iS equally good on defense plus handling kick-off duties. He also makes a fine offensive man on his numerous pull-out plays. Kimball, converted fullback from last years reserve squad, can play either guard or tackle and may start at tackle for injured Don Batt. Bill gives the squads a fast downfield blocker and a good defensive man. His fast charges across the line of scrimmage smother many a play at the roots. Next in line is Jack Cambell, reserve letterman last year and a good replacement. Jack looks good plugging up holes in the center of the line and is due to see a lot of service this season. Jack is followed by Dick Russel a,;d Guy (Sweetheart) Dean, a pair of scrappy guards from last years reserve team who are both able reserves and should see some action this year. The only other varsity guard is Don Davis, transfer from Salina, Kansas high school. Don is a junior and will be around next year.
Fashions Feature Men's Shirts. And Peroxide What's new in fashions? Boys wear their trousers up to their ankles, while the girls let their dad's shirts hang ·down to the knees. Girl and boys like this stuff that turns your hair yellow. P. S. Lincoln is out of proxide. Girls, do you ever see spots in front of your eyes when you come out of a class?? It's probably because the boy in front of you had one of those dainty green and yellow shirts on!! By the way, everyone is beginnin' to wonder who will wear the "pants" in the family of the future.

Sandhill Grasshoppers Are Science Display Lives of a dozen Sandhill grasshoppers were radically changed last week when they were put into a box· and mailed to Roy Rorabaugh, a sophomor in Lincoln high, by a rancher in Tryon, Nebr. But their career does not end there. The next morning, cold and hungry, these huge, bronze grasshoppers were brought to Miss Helene Schemel for display in her science classes. Because of insufficient microscopic equipment, they were sent to Miss Lucy Geiger who is using them for the study of insects in her biology classes. The grasshoppers are from two to three inches long and, because of their size and weight, can jump only a short distance. .Miss Geiger has been feeding them bread and green leaves. They are living in their box and at latest report were warm, well fed and in competent hands. Roy is a d ischarged veteran who has completed three years of service with the army and is now back in high school.

He w ent up to Alaska by way of Seattle, Washington, to spend the summer with h is par ents. His dad was w orking in th e Aleutians, helping to build docks. While he was in Anch or age, Henry took a job as janitor for the West Construction company of Anchorage. In his spare time he hunted and fished, the salmon, among others, being very plentiful. A contrast, creat ed by th e fact that there were only two ways of getting t o Alaska, was the fact that his Alaska'-bound trip by Pan-American Airways plane t ook only eight h ours, whereas the return t rip by ship took eight days. He .coul d not drive u p becau se the Aka n high w!IY was closed to civ ilian travel. Prices were about twice th e normal pea cetime amount. The one t hing that was cheap was land.

10 B's Learn How to Study Thir ty minutes of complete conc entration is an essential in studying, according to H. C. Mardis, speaking t o sophomores in their a ssembly, Tuesday. These thirty minutes should be spent in a.quiet place every night at the same time. Aids in this devotion to study are non-glaring lights, a comfortable chair and a table of average height. Distractions can be avoided by having the family t ake telephone m essages, turning the r adio off and by ·not taking part in family conversation. A rapid reading of the assignment, the elaboration on 'major points including the comprehension of new t erms, Mr. Mardis specified as being one of the easiest ways of r eally knowing one's lesson. Mr. Mardis cited the importance of review. Go over each step again and again until you reach the goal. Instructions as simple as these could be followed by every student. At_ the close of the assembly, :\/Ir. Mardis made an announce1pent by the safety committee asking 10- B students not to run i n tn~ halls.

W. Lawrence Tells Foreign Experiences William H. Lawrence, '32, war correspondent for the New York Times, described bombing raids and their effects before assemblies Monday, October 8. Just back from si~ months in the Pacific area, Mr. Lawrence has also served in the Times' London bureau - arid spent "sixteen months, fifteen days and 'f our hours" In the Soviet Union. "I am convinced that it was air power and air power alo ne which won the battle of Japf!n," asser ted the former managing editor of the Advocate, explaining that this statement does ncit apply to all the Pacific area. He flew on the April 13 incendiary raid on Tokyo by B-29's in which he viewed 11 square miles of the city in flames. He went in on the last wave of the attack · in which 400 planes dropped from 3,000 to 4,000 tons of bombs. Mr. Lawrence was in the first group of reporters who entered I-Hr9shima _and Nagasaki to see the effect of the atomic bomb. To m ake. clear the destructiveness of t his bomb, he illustrated by the result in a bomb were dropped above the Miller & Paine building in Lincoln. Everything within a radius from First to Twentyfourth and A to Vine streets would be flat, except a few shells of steel str uctures. "We must give our attention in an earnest and soul-searching way to see that there cannot be any more war," h e declared, and went on to say, "We must and can work with the Russians." He advocated a clear, firm policy. Both countries must be honest in dealings with each other. He concluded with a h umorous account of how twelve reporters were the first Americans to reach Shan ghai after the defeat of the J apanese.

'.A Basis for Peace Is Problem Today Men say in books that we profit by the mistakes made in history. Men say after every war that it cannot and must not happen again. But that oft-repeated statement is in itself an error in history, and shall be again and again, unless men gather unto themselves enough courage to change completely their old, shortsighted, conventional inner motives and convictions, and mend their outward actions. In the present post-war period, as in periods past, nations are eagerly grabbing for territory to which they have no right, snatching greedily at valiant little countries, conquered once by the enemy and again freed, only to be exploited by those to whom they looked for help. These betrayed peoples have contributed as much toward making the world we dream of as the nations which are now powerful. We mention this and give as an example Russia's exploitation of Poland to show that it is not only our defeated enemies who must change their ways .if there is to be lasting peace. Hate is a blind monster which runs rampant over the spirits of men at war. But in the peace that follows war, this monster must be put down and the situation seen in its true light. The leaders of the enemy fully realized what they were bringing upon the world. They were aware of what they were doing, and for this they must be punished. But what of the now scattered ranks of common fighters? The horrible deeds committed by these men were not horrible to them; they were glorious deeds to be highly praised. The evil in their hearts is not evil to them, it is their creed. We do not say that be· cause of this, the Allies should pat the common enemy soldier on the back, t ell him that bygones are bygones and call him "buddy" from now on. This thing imbedded in the heart and mind of the enemy is a disease that must be kept in quarantine by ar med forces and cured with truth by t each• ers and missionaries. It would be profitable to no one to keep occupation forces in the defeated lands permanently, but until the legends of a master race, a divine emperor, and militarism as a heritage and religion are totally destroyed, and we who say we are in the right live up to the fine ideals that we claim, and learn to rise above petty squabbles among our· selves, there shall be no peace.
Lincoln High School Versus Northeast High "Being a good sport is the best way of being a good friend." Let all Lincoln high supporters remember, for the eyes of Nebraska await the outcome of t he forthcoming game between the Links and the Rockets. On the football field, only the score at the end of the game will go down in r ecord books, but the sportsmanship of the two schools will be known throughout the state for years. There can be no winner or loser as far as good sports are concerned! As the host, Lincoln high fans should remember their responsibility. As the visitor, Northeast supporters should do their share in promoting a friendly feeling between the two capital city schools. Booing, fights, innocent bystanders getting hurt, is t he best way to spread bad feeling between the two schools. So, remember. Let's work together, both Lincoln high school and Northeast, for a good clean and friendly rivalry, that both schools can set t he example for the state.
Extra Plodding Needed to Strengthen Loiv Grades Wouldn't it be wonderful if when the grades came out at the end of the semester, everyone had lots of high ones and no low ones? Of course, and everyone studies to get t hem about a week before the final exa minations, but for some strange reason foregoing pleasure in favor of studying and making sleep a martyr to learning at t he last moment doesn't do as much good as we thought it would. Some say it even lowers grades. Wiiat to do about it'? Those who ought to know, such as t eachers for instance, say that a little steady plodding takes less effort on the whole, and really get s results. Should we try it this semester and see how it works?

Private Mills Writes Home G.I. Lament
Between the Book Ends
Robert Mills; '45, is now sta· tioned at Fort Sill in a field artillery unit. His special training is in r;mge finding which he explains requires extensive use of mathematics. Private · Mills anticipates an assignment overseas in the army of occupation. He comments that high school life is a real pleasure compared to the vigorous schedule of 40 hours a week given him by the army. To express the typical picture of the army private, Private Mills . enclosed the following poem, en· titled "Strictly G.I.": Here I sit on my G.I. bed, With my G.I. hat upon my head My G.I. pants, my G.I. shoes; All is free, nothing to lose. G.I. razor, G.I. comb-G. I. wish that I were home. They've issued me everything I need, Paper to write on, books to read. My belt, my socks, my G.I. tie, All is free, nothing to buy. They issue me food that makes me growG.I. wish I were on furlough, I eat my food from a G.I. plate, And buy my needs at a G.I. rate, It's G.I. this and G.I. that, G .I. haircut, G.I. hat. Everything is G.I. issueAnd old school, G.I. miss you.
Through his earnest sincerity Ernie Pyle, columnist, had been able to draw from the American G. I . his true feeling of war during the many invasions he has been in from Sicily and France to the Pacific. Living as the Infantry did, eating the same food, undergoing the same hardships and fears weathered Ernie Pyle into . America's favorite war columnist. ' The book, "Here Is Your War" was written during the invasion of Italy and later filmed int o a movie, "The Story of G. I. Joe." This book is made up of thousands of day-to-day incidents and experiences of the American soldier from Maine, Oklahoma and even Nebraska, written in the soldiers own language by a truly great soldier himself! There are really two wars and they haven't much to do with each other. There is a war of .maps and logistics, of campaigns, of ballistics, armies, divisions and regiments and that is General Marshall's war.

More Books Read During Normal Years Libraries are more popular dur.:. ing times of depression, are most popular during n ormal times, and are least popular during war, ac· cording to Stuart Smith, head librarian of the Lincoln city ·library. "You can come in the library almost any time· and see half a dozen soldiers around," said Mr. Smith, "but since more people are working longer hours when the country is at war, the popularity of the library decreases." Mr. Smith thinks that as far as the number of books are concerned, t he Lincoln library contains an average amount of books for the size of the city. He how.ever added that the building is much t oo small for its contents. "War has also decreased the amount of books published. per year," he commented. "Publishers are publishing fewer' titles, due to the shortage of paper. The library is quite satisfied with a total of about 175 thousand books and also about 250 m agazine subscriptions." In the opinion of the head librarian, the magazines and newspaper section proves most interesting to members of the armed services who spend . their time t here looking for their home town newspapers. Since they are entitled to libr ary cards, they also take advantage of the opportunity by checking out books. "Immediately after a historical event, writing on it begins," continued Mr. Smith. "This same subject may, however, be written on for approximat ely five years after it is introduced." By replacing magazines and books in their proper place, and not dropping chewing gum .and paper around, patrons could im• prove the appearance of the library considerably, as the condition of the library is only fair. Mr. Smith,. who came to Lincoln about a year ago, formerly did · research work, writing on the post war plans of the library.
For Safety's Sake As a· child I had been exposed to good manners and practiced a few (very few, I'll admit ) but now I'm quite positive that any I heretofore have known have completely left my feebled brain or vice versa. To shop I set aside a week and have prepared a blueprint of battle. I won't go into detail about it, but explain briefly how it is done. First I elbow my way up to the counter . battle for the article desired, stalk a clerk, and crawl away. If I am lucky I may have only one leg broken. Next I encounter the revolving doors. This requires great skill, for I usually have one chance. Miss and I start pushing some byst ander around. After waiting for what seems liks hours, I get in, take two steps, get a boost in the rear and end-up on the walk, with the multitude. This isn't anything compared t o when I go out to lunch. I start running to the cafe t wo blocks away and get a place in line three blocks from the entrance. When I get to the door it is time to go back to work so I grab a tray and ever y time I reach for something t he thirteen people behind me reach too. Then they shove me on and when I get to the register I find myself with one tray, knife, fork, napkin, glass of water and an empty plate. Upon securing a table to drink my water I find it is reserved so I drink in between tables and leave. Once again in the street I step off the curb, t he cop blows his whistle, I step back on the curb, the cop blows his whistle, step off the curb and fall across the street.I

for more t han any others, but wouldn't limit himself to any favorites. "If I had one favorite," he explained, "all. the rest would be unfavorites, and this is not true, for I like t hem all." He continued, "There is no such thing as ' ro· i:nantic music, only good or bad." Mr. Rubinstein stated there are many promising young artists in the United States. The greatest drawback is trying to get ahead too fast to make money. They work more for the money than for the art. In America, people look up to money more than in Europe, where fame is mor e important than fortune. George Gershwin is greatly ad· mired by Mr. Rubinstein and gave him an original manuscript dedicated t o him. "Discovery of one's defects and practice to overcome them helps a pianist the most," he concluded. With the reporters were two soldiers from Harvard army air base who had special three- day passes t o attend the concert.

Question o J the Week Comes the time in everyone's life when he is asked a foolish question, but not half as foolish as some of the answers to this week's question. "What is ·your fondest memory?"

Personals Jack Wagener, who attended L. H. S. in 1943, but moved to Washington, D. C., with his parents, is now in the Army ·Air Corps. He was expecting to get a 10-day furlough to visit Lincoln, but he is going to be sent to a camp in Illinois. He has been in the Air Corps since February and this would have been_ his first furlough. The family having returned to Lincoln, Jo Anne, his sister, is now a junior in L. H. S. Robert Evans, former Lincoln high student, had his eye seriously injured Monday morning at a loca.l bakery company where he is now employed.

Entering Lincoln high last week was Flora-Ann Beutel, who. came from Chevy Chase high school in Bethesda, Maryland. Flora-Ann's father has accepted the position of dean of the University of Nebraska college of law. Flora-Ann has lived in six different states and was born in New Orleans. She is interested in swimming, tennis, dramatics, dancing, ice skating and many other things, among them collecting liberty head nickels. She likes the teachers of Lincoln high, but states that the hours are too long, Dona Jean Saum entered last week from North high school in Denver. While at North high she was a member of the A capella, a choral group, and accompanist forthe girls choir. Dona Jean relates that North high won the city football and basketball championships last year. She is a member of the girls glee club in Lincoln high. From the School of the Ozarks at Point Lookout, Missouri, came Charles Cossins, a senior, who likes Lincoln high very much.

Other students entering last week were Frank King from Alliance (Nebr.) high school; Robert Black from Hastings (Nebr.) high school; Guy Shore and Kenneth Smith from Northeast high. Richard Knudson, sophomore, comes from Petaluma high school, Californfa. Richard likes L.H.S. mu\:!h better than his former school because it is about four times larger.

Li11coln, Bearcats Deadlocked 7-7 Ferguson Again Spells Trouble For Lincoln
Links, Rockets Clash ~,,n Championship Tilt · ·Friday Night At Oval •
Game of the year for capital city grid enthusiastics will take place Friday night at the L. H. S. oval. Lincoln high will meet its traditional rivals, the Northeast Rockets. The Links will enter the game a slight favorite, being undefeated so far this s~ason. The Rockets have been dropped twice this year by Hastings and Creighton Prep. Last week the Links met stiff competition at Scottsbluff and made number four a 7-7 tie. The Black and White struck early in their weekend game and hung on to drop the Falls City Tigers 7-0. The big hole in the Northeast line-up is the pivot post, vacated by Kenneth Strawn, who sustained an injury in the Creighton game that cost him the sight of one eye. His position will be filled by Paul Obermeyer. The Rockets have never· beaten the Red and Black in a series that had its start back in 1941 when Ralph Beechner introduced the "T" formation with Eddie· H all at the helm. The Links came out on top by a 13-7 margin. In 19"42 the L . H. S . clan took the widest margin of victory by 14-0. The 1943 game proved to be a stiffer tussle with the Lincoln . boys scoring early in the ·game and then hanging on for all their worth to edge the crosstown club 6-0. Last year the two teams b attled three quarters w ith neither team m aking any h eadway and it looked as if it would go in the books a s a deadlock. The lone tally came five minu tes before the final gun when Bruce Bergquist, substitute quar-· t erback, took the ball from t he "T" a nd swept his own right end from the Northeast six yard line t o pay dirt.
High Spot Planned By Committee The High Spot committee was o rganized and is conferring with H . C. Mardis on the plans for entertainment this school year. Last year's High Spots were very popular with the student b ody, judging from the number w ho attended. Hard times and blue moon parties w ere t h e outstanding features last year. The High Spot provides recreation in the school on Friday nights whe n there are no other school activities going on. Dancing seem ed t o be most popular last year and the "snack bar" was u sually ·filled. The swimming pool and a game room w ere also open.

For the fifteenth year, the Ad· vacate of Lincoln high has won All American, the superior rating given by the National Scholastic Press association, with headquarters at the University of Minne· sota. A complete file of last semes· ter's Advocate was sent in to be judged. Some of the highest ratings were given for news coverage, vitality, war effort coverage, organization of news stories, headlines, typrography, printing and editorial column. Judges made many suggestions for improvement. They noted the absence .of enough news feature stories, most of the feature stories being of the editorial page type. The columns had a tendency to be too much alike and the judges said more variety was needed. The Advocate was under the classification of the public senior high schools with an enrollment of 1,600·2,499 pupils, in which the newspaper is printed· weekly in a commercial shop. Not only does the Advocate re· ceive a critical service each year from the N.S.P.A., but also the Roto section which is distributed each month to subscribers and a monthly magazine, the Scholastic Editor.
Constitutes Blue Print of Future School Progress Under the di.r ection of Dr. Clyde M. Hill and Dr. Samuel M, Brownell of Yale university, a co-op• erative study of the Lincoln schools will be made to take stock of how the schools stand, of what are their needs and of developing a practical program for maintaining them on a high plane, it was decided by the board of education .in the · meeting Tuesday ·morning.
Dr. Brownell, a graduate of Lincoln high in 1917, conferred with the board recently. He was a superintendent of schools before· becoming a member of the. Yale faculty. Mrs. Roscoe S.

Problems to be studied will be determined through a preliminary • survey in which members of the board of education, school employees, and individuals and groups in the community will be consulted. The results of the preliminary survey will be organized into large area studies by the directors.

Teachers May Help .Pupils By Giving More Study Time What Lincoln high needs is more study. Most of the teachers will say that th~y knew this a long · time ago, but w:hat _is meant is more time to do our studymg m school. The last half o fevery period is S?Pposed to be given to study and prepanng the lesson for the next day and many teachers do not realize how valuable this time is to the students. Our parents are told that we are supposed to work half an hour on each subject every 'night. If all the time we had to spend o;i each subject at night were half an hour, 1t would be all right, but often our study period is cut short school and we must spend much longer than half an hour in hour in order that we may have our lesson well prepared for the next day. The last half of the period is supposed to be used for study, yet the pupil is not often allowed this privilege. A discussion of some outside subject not pertaining to the lesso_n at all is often brought up. A teacher 1s willing and ready to help you understand and solve any problems, if you ask her, do so privately in the class room or after school. You are wasting the time of other persons when you approach such a subject in class. Talking about current events should be done as much as possible. We do ns:>t all read the same papers or have similar opinions, and this discussion is in order in some recitation periods, but when it takes time away fro mthe preparation of the lesson it does more harm than good. Most teachers and pupils agree that it takes. from five to ten minutes to settle down to study, but that fifteen minutes of real, earnest study means much more than an hour's attempt to study with the radio on, the telephone ringing and the other members of the family carrying on a conversation. Those minutes of study mean more if done at school. Your teacher is there to help you immediately with something you do not understand and there is something about a school room that lends itself definitely to study. There is still that half hour at night for study, but if a lesson is begun well, it is much easier to take it up later and do as well with it. After school November 6 wfll be .Lincoln t)igh.

Recreational Schemes Advocated in Advance Every year, the question , is :aised oyer and over again, "Why doesn t Lmcoln high provide for more entertainment fo~ its students?" Just the other day, a group of students were suggesting dances after the football games. The suggestion was an excellent one, but tl;te home footba.-11 games ar: almost hal fover. By the time a committee could plan one of these dances, the Links would be well into the basketball season. The committee should have been appointed last spring. So the plans would have been in full swing by the Kearney game. We are not trying to discourage any such activities. We are suggesting that those persons who are really interested in foot~all dances, junior-senior proms and the like should get u pthese ideas well in advance. They should be certain that their plans had. an enthusiastic backing and could be carried by the whole school. An example of good planningt but poor backing was the junior-senior prom of last year. This prom was originated two years ago and met with rousing approval. Last winter the prom date was set and tickets went on sale in all upper class home rooms. The result was very disappointing. After all the clamoring for such entertainment, not even enough tickets were sold to insure such a venture. So it h.ad to be called off. This can be blamed on no one but the students themselves. The teachers had absolutely nothing to do with ticket sales. · It usually turns out that those who gripe the loudest, do the least about it. Is that true of You? If so, let's la yaside the gripping and really come up with some top-notch, well planned entertainments. How about it? November 6 will be a red letter day in .Lincoln high school!
Well people, here it is, my last column, so you can take your clothes pin off after this, 'cause nothing could be any worse! All kidd:lng aside, good luck to the next Static editor, who'll need it!!!

Human Nature Revealed at Grocery Store
In a letter to Naomi Stern, a junior at L.H.S., Gabrielle Souied, an 18 year old French girl living in Tunis, told of the liberation of Tunis by the allied troops. Naomi's father, who was stationed in Tunis, met Gabrielle and her family, and since then the girls have been corresponding. Her letters have told of the hardships ~f the people, One instance was when the Germans ordered all men from 17 to 50 to be taken for labor. When the Germans started taking women, Gaby was hidden, but many of her friends and relatives were taken. She has a younger sister Simone, who is 16, and she also writes to Naomi. The girls have taken English in school, and write and speak it fluently. Part of a letter telling of the liberation of Tunis follows: "It was a dark and sad day. We heard only cannon shots, and the anti-aircraft. We saw the German planes pursued by the allied ones. I saw a plane falling down and burning. For a long time the flames came out. I was very afraid, but the others were happy to see such a t hing. "At about 12 o'clock our neighbor came and said that they (the Germans) are going, but before their starting they will blow up everything. He was right; some minutes after we heard great blows. We were in alarm all the day long. At last when father came at one o'clock we ate quickly and we went down to the shelter -and there we waited. Hearing n othing we decided to come back home. At three o'clock father
"Working in a grocery store is a lot of fun and you meet so many interesting people," says Louise Loucks. Louise is in a position to know. for she worked for a local grocery store last summer and is now working part-time. "I worked in the check stand, in t he fruit department and just all over the place," sh e said. "Fridays and Wednesdays used to be the worst days for we had to make up delivery orders, as well as help a larger number of persons than usual. When ordering by phone was discontinued, we had only one day that wa.s really bad, and that was the traditional bug-a-boo, Saturday. Although I was busy most of the time, t he work was so interesting th at I didn't mind being busy." So many persons came in that she had .a chance to meet all kinds, sizes and shapes. People show their true natures in the store, she thinks. If one is unreasonable or selfish, Louise thinks that it will be shown by one's actions in the grocery store. Taking all into consideration, she thinks that the summer was very profitable, both from a financial standpoint and because of her newly found knowledge of human nature.

are found in the Lincoln high library. One inspmng biography is "Charlota, American Empress" by Nancy Barnes. Charlota, who was of royal birth, married very young while she was impractical and inexperienced against hardships, to Maximilian, a popular duke of that time. Maximilian, she thought was worthy of the highest honors, and the greatest thrones, and she gave . more than her life t o keep him there. At seventeen Charlota was married, and after a short honeymoon in Milan, Maximilian was given the throne in Italy. The Italian people accepted Maximilian and Charlota, but they did not accept the foreign rule. Life was made ' miserable for this young couple, so Chariota returned home to her father and soon after Maximilian joined her. After living in Miramar for some time, Maximilian was offered the crown of Mexico. If they have been given a chance at all they would have been fine rulers, with Charlota unafraid of almost anything, and Maximilian's great artistic skill. During the two year period from 1864 until 1866, Charlota and Maximilian suffered much sorrow and displeasure in Mexico and in the summer of 1866 Charlota sailed for Europe. A long period of insanity preceded her death in 1927. "Juarez, Hero of Mexico," by N. B. Baker is another interesting biography. Juarez who was president of Mex ico, was a shepard boy as a small boy. From a shepard boy to president in one life time is a great accomplishment. Juarez, has often been considered the Abraham Lincoln of Mexico. Because he was Indian, he had to stand ridicule from the schoolmasters. Although he underwent much hardship he became a distinguished lawyer, and won as his bride the daughter of his benefactor. This book tells of the great excitement and thrills of Juarezs' capture by Santa Ana, who banished him, and- other liberty loving young people.
went out with mother and Simone. I remained alone. I went up to t he .terrace; from there I saw everything burn; the .postoffice, the stations, the port, the park. The sky was grey and clouds ran. I was playing with a little girl, when I heard father calling for me. "Get down quickly. The allies troops are 3 kilometers from here." "What! He is joking. It's impossible," I said. "I was so moved that I let fall the little girl and I jumped. But father was shouting. He was afraid that fighting would begin in the town streets. So quickly I took the little girl and I went to the shelter. There was a great silence. No blows, · no fighting. The German s were taken by surprise. Somebody wanted to see the scene. He went up to the terrace and there everybody followed him. What a show! "It was raining, but nobody felt anything. Just by us the Germans had set fire to a car and engines. The school which t hey had taken was surrounded by some English soldiers, but the Germans who lived in that school, which was a hospital, want ed to kill these soldiers. They were angry at seeing the people so glad. We were so afraid (this school is just in front of my house) that we did not ex'.' press our joy. As I couldn't help by shouting and clapping, they saw me and they tried t o drop a . shell. Each one of them held in his hand a ball, but as they understood they were beaten, they t.h.rew an their arms in the chim-

neys. At last we could go out because the Germans had not resisted. We went to the large house. Here we saw the tanks passing along tbe streets. Everybody clapped, kissed themselves, shouted. Some cried like young children - some jumped, some kissed the soldiers. The first soldier whom I .saw was English. I had de.cided before the entering of the allied troo!JS into our t own to kiss the first one I met, but he was so dirty I coul dn't. I only gave him a hand shake. Then I spoke with him in English. He was so surprised that he did not believe to be in a strange country. "Even though it was still raining, everyone was in the streets. All the flags floated from the balconies. After the show we returned home and I went to the window. From there I saw the Germans of the schooL One of them spoke with me. He told me: " 'Do you think I could see our defeat? Never! I shall kill myself before this!' "I did not give an answer to him, but I should like to see all of them dead. "During the night we couldn't sleep. We walked in the house, as most people. "It's too nic.e ," we thought, "and even impossible. This morning we were under the German boot, and now we are free. We can speak in a loud voice, we can have an opinion. Oh! My God, Thank you!" She concluded with, " I don't know if you will understand our sensation . because (happily for you) you have not known the German and his violence."
Open Forum To the Adult Readers: I too would like to comment on the subject "Lack of Recreation for Teen Agers." It seems to me that now more than ever it is important that youth be given a chance to grow up in a city that . will be proud of them. Maybe it sounds exaggerated, but the influence of our city on us now at this critical period, will make the difference between good and bad citizens in the future. " Of course things aren't that bad," you say, but they could get worse. It is true that outside of a movie are many disadvantages against other amusement places, some of which were mentioned last week. While the city was making plans for an up and coming city, they should have realized an up and coming younger generation is just as important, and what will this generation do without sufficient amusement centers that will come up to standards satisfactory to parents and children? Come on folks, let's all pull together. Give us a break. We're not com plaining, just interested enough in our home town to want it to be the best. J oan Williams.

Short Story Contest Open Magazine to Publish Five Outstanding Stories Five of the best original stories for boys written by pupils between the beginning of the present school year and February 15, 1946, will be submitted to The Open Road for Boys magazine. In competition with stories from other high schools all over the country, the outstanding stories will be printed in the June, 1946, and subsequent issues.

They may have as their setting any time and place and may contain any character or characters the writer wishes. They must be the original work of the author. Originality and style of the story count more than length. It may be any length between 1,000 and 3,000 words. It must be typewritten, double-spaced, on one aide of the paper only, Stories so submitted to The Open Road for Boys will be handled in exactly the same way as the work of professional w r iters. Each story selected by th<! editors for publication will be edited and paid for, as it appears, at the magazine's regular rates.
Plans of Camera Club Announced
Mummers Present "George Washington
Camera club is planning a picnic to be held . October. 17 at Pioneers park. The members are to be notified this week as to time and place to meet for transportation. Three committees have been appointed and the chair man for each is as follows: picnic committee, Betty Lou Bedell; darkroom committee, Elvin Runer; and publicity, Betty Lou Carr oll. Competing pictures in the contest sponsored by the club are to be judged monthly instead of weekly. Scenery subjects are preferred, altho some types of "action" pictures will be accepted. The example given was an enthusiast leaning over a bridge for a good "snap." "Please," begged Miss Elizabeth Grone, " don't bring any family groups." "Shorty" Orrum is to speak before the group November 7. He has been in the navy as an aerial photographer and will have some interesting slides to show. At the last meeting a darkroom demonstration was given, but because of the club's size, it was thought best to discontinue this feature. Members may u se the room individually, The demonstration, given by the sponsors, was one on enlarging negatives. The newly elected officers of the club are: p r esident, Lynne Decker; vice-president, Betty Lou Bedell; secretary, Betty Lou Carroll, and treasurer, Patty Bach. Camera Club Has Wiener Roast. All members of the camera club will meet at four-thirty in the parking lot to go to Pioneer's park for their wiener r oast. They are urged to bring their cameras, as a picture taking contest is scheduled. Entries for the picture of the m onth contest are still being accepted.

Links Begins To Assemble Annual Staff Howard Doerr, Board Member As a result of the annual Links tryouts held October 16, Howard Doerr was chosen business manager and Norman Case, photographer. These positions on the annual are held for the entire year. Twenty-one persons tried out. Doerr, the only member of the Links student board to be chosen at this time, starts work at once with the Links faculty board, drawing up specifications for contracts, since they must go to the board cif education in time to receive bids and make contracts for publication of the book. Other board positions will be filled by tryout late in November. Qualifications for business manager included kn~wledge of bookkeeping, business and budgeting. Doerr has also been a football and basketball player, as well as appearing in Joy Night. Questions asked in the tryouts for photographer were the kind of camera owned and picture taking experience. Case did photography for the Links when he was sophomore and has been secretary of the camera club. Some of his photographs have won recognition in local contests. Judges of the tryouts were Frank Kane, financial adviser; Miss Ethel Bryant, literary adviser; Miss Sarah T. Muir, chairman of the publication board.

Reed Announces Cancer Campaign Wayne 0. Reed, state superintendent, r e c e n t 1 y announced through the morning Journal, that the fight against cancer was to be carried into Nebraska schools by the state department of public instruction in cooperation \vith the American Cancer Society. Copies of two publications which will be placed in schools are being sent to all county superintendents. One book is a guide for teachers and the other is a classroom .guide for student and teacher. "These two publications are prepared by the American Cancer Society," Reed explained, "and are scientifically accurate. They are . developed in such a way that cancer can be. correlated with other subjects, presenting to high school students an opporti:;nity to help solve a major health problem through education, research and service;"

Council Members Take Halloive'en
Pledge Advising Safe Celebration We, the members of .t he student council, pledge ourselves to refrain from any Hallowe'en activity which destroys property, either public or private, or which endangers the safety ·of any person. We feel that causin&' unnecessary expenditure of money or labor in these times 'o f reconstruction is unpatriotic. We also consider the act of asking for handouts to be a public nuisance. We suggest small parties in private homes for the cele. bration of Hallowe'en. . We are aliking the rest of the students .of Lincoln high school unite with us in this stand.

Witt Stresses Safety Week· School Safety Topic Of Brief Discussion by Committee Chairman ''Every week is safety week," asserted Sgt. Olin Witt, of the Nebraska state safety patrol, in a double assembly Tuesday, October 23. So far this year 172 people have lost their lives on the highways of Nebraska, which is more than was · lost in the twelve months of last year. Sgt. Witt gave four principal causes for accidents. The first is speeding, More arrests are made on this account than for any other. The second is driving on the wrong side of the road. Several things could cause this, such as passing on hills and curves. The third is driving under the influence of alcohol. The fourth reason is drivers not stopping at stop signs. "Education, engineering and enforcement" are the three "e's" he stressed as important in lowering accident rates. Six things that spell safety for drivers are: (1) Skill in driving. The highest rate of accidents is caused by the 16-24 age group. 2. Know and follow the regulations. 3. Watch mistakes of others and drive accordingly. 4. Drive according to weather and road conditions. 5. Keep physically fit. 6. Keep car in good condition. Dorothy Borgens, chairman of the safety committee, presented the other members of the committee to the student body. They are Ed Carter and Don Gish. Dorothy stressed the importance of slowing down and giving an arm signal before turning into the parking lot east of school. Also, when leaving the lot, stop before crossing the sidewalk. Putt-putt drivers should observe the same rules as drivers of automobiles. Pupils should line up to take the bus after school, she suggested, to avoid crowding.
Advocate Staff Changes Jobs In the first shift of positions on the Advocate staff Louise Carter will take over the dtuies of managing editor for the next six weeks. News editor will be June Fislar; George Wilcox will assume the duties of associate edi.tor. Second, third and fourth page editors will be Leah Jacoby, Nancy Howey and Knox Jones, respectively.

Reporters are Don Bryant, Norma Carlson, Betty Guidin~r, Mary Gibson, Joan Lockard, Dorothy Lutz, Randall Renken, Ruth Saunders and Duane Sloan. Eleanor Krajicek, Advocate secretary, will take care of the school circulation for the rest of the semester and Willesta Ogle, secretary, will take care of mail circulation for the next six weeks. Secretaries and business staff do not otherwise change positions.
Boys of Eighteen Being Drafted The draft and how it will affect high school boys is a question that is bothering quite a few. Boys eighteen and in their last semester will be deferred until graduation, but, what about starting university? Was a question put up to the board and the answer is this: If a person is registered in university before he is called, he may remain one semes- · ter, but no longer. This question was asked Bob Bartlett, who is among the many seniors a b o u t to be drafted: "Would you mind going into the peace time army?" The answer was, "No, it would be fun." Others who will probably leave shortly after graduation are Boney Hoffman, Dean Versaw, and John Gerlach, who is now out of school.

Question of the Week! A.re Esciilators Needed? In this building there are four stairways with 19 steps on each. These are the front and back steps leading from second to third floor. There is one stairway, the front one, · with 23 steps. Four stairways leading to fourth from third with 24 steps each, and the two leading down to first floor with five steps each. This makes a grand total of 205 steps. , Multiplying the_number of pupils, which is close to 3,000 times the 205 steps, we discover that approximately 210,000 steps are taken per day. We all race up and down these 205 steps at least four t imes a day, so we discover, after consulting Genius Winslow, that each person takes 820 steps per .day. You can readily see, by the above figures, how strenuous this is on the frail type, short legged and easily exhausted. Then, of course, there are always the teachers. After their nerve-racking day it would be sheer heaven to step onto an esca· lator which would carry them directly to the open door. And to the poor assistants, let thought be given. \Ve see them running themselves ragged, up 23 steps, int() a room, down 23 steps, then up the stairs again, and so it goes till school is dismissed, when they again drag themselves dowu and outside. When you think of the noise that would vanish, that is reason enough to have escalators installed. Also with 3,000 pupils tak;. Ing 820 steps a day, some of the marble steps are already worn to the danger point. Money for whole new flights must soon be supplied for safety's sake. _For the pupil who is late preparing 4is assignment the escalator would furnish a place to study while being taken to next class. Last, but not least, are the people who really need the exercise of running up and down the steps, especially the girls who use steps as a means of reducing. For them should be installed a side stairway all their own. Thus each and every person would be ~atisfied with escalators.
Prevent Fatal Accidents Drive More Carefully A fatal accident in front of L. H. S. last week raised Lincoln's death toll to 11. The report October 6 on the state death toll was 154.. This figure showed an increase of 33 over the number at this time a year ago and is the highest number recorded since 1941. This should warn all L. H. S. students to drive carefully in cars and on putt-putts. As gas r ationing has been lifted! more students are driving carelessly, causmg ac· cidents and even death tolls. . Students who have just learned to drive could not acquire enough experience necessary when driving was limited by gas r ationing. Now with rationing ended, they are allowed to take the family car out almost all of the time without having had the necessary experience in handling a car alone at higher speeds and even at low speeds. The week of October 22 has been proclaimed as Safety week by Mayor Lloyd Marti in a statement made October 18. Students from all schools should make a special effort from now on to help prevent traffic fatalities . .

This usually results in someone dr opping or losing something. The driver. won't. go until everyone is on, so pushmg will only make it harder getting on. There are just so many seats and no more, so if you aren't lucky to get one the first time remember you have all semester ahead. Ail of us want to get home, so let's make it a ride that we want to anticipate. It would be a good idea to follow the plan used successfully on the Randolps bus of standing in line.

Congratulations to the cast, director, and everybody connected with the Mummers play! It was really a swell performance, gang, and we're all proud of ya'! Incidentally, I saw some interesting couples viewing it. Norma Hild, escorted by Bill Marx (of course it wouldn't have anything to do with the gorgeous diamond Norma is wearing on her third finger, left hand), Nancy Noble with Don Etmund, Phyllis Haley and Bill Henkle. Jeanne Bartizal and Chick Null, Ginny Koch with Bill Wenke, Ruth Alice Johnson escorted by Ed Wessel and Olive Gettman after the play with Gayle Lebsock. An old friendship being renewed.

Between the Book Ends "A man with a lid on his stomach." This was Alexis St. Martin, the man whose gunshot wound never healed. Dr. Wil-: liam Beaumont, being an Army doctor, had seen many horrifying and unbelievable sights, but when the young doctor was summoned to the bedside of Alexis, only' to see a man with a hole blown in his stomach, it was the worst he had ever seen. Most doctors in Williams' place would have cleaned the wound, yes and maybe watched over him through the night and been there when the man died, but with William it was different! William, as a young man had left his home in Lebanon with a sleigh, horse and supplies, to be a pioneer in the new west. His family expected him home before so very long, because William just wasn't the type to pioneer, but little did they dream that someday William Beaumont, farm boy from L ebanon, would be Dr. William Beaumont, Army surgeon. A great pioneer spirit and indeed he was a pioneer. Alexis lived through the night, and through the next and the next~ This young heart with so much will to live .wouldn't be stopped!! And then the thought carrie to William. He could see into Alexis's stomach. , He could watch food digest or "grind up." Doctoring in those days was so much guess work, because who could tell what happened inside the body when one ate different things. After all, who had a window in his stomach! But Alexis had something as good as one. William was a pioneer, and in his laboratory a long tedious study began. By lying on his right side Alexis could show the doctor how the food was ground up. But it wasn't ground up at all, it was dissolved, by juice secreted by the lining of the stomach. When Alexis was angry, the juice didn't secreate as well and when he was happy, everything went off perfectly. What a beautiful organ the stomach was! So perfect!! Both Doctor Beaumont and Alexis intended to go to Paris one day but they have traveled much farther than this in the medical world.
Bubbles, Bubbles Are Discovered By ~ivilians Bubbles! Bubbles! Bubbles! Floating over the heads of persons · in the streets, at games and in homes! These lovely irridescent bubbles were originat ed for u se in recreational therapy for wounded soldiers, but the r eal "bubble craze" started when civilians discovered them. Now almost everyone talks about the beautiful bubbles he can blow. Instead of the conventional pipe and soap most persons can remember from their childhood, the modern "pipe" is a small metal hoop dipped into a gelatine-like solution that has a glycerine base. By blowing through the hoop large, tough, substantial bubbles can be formed that even bounce!. The craze affords a necessary relaxation· for people who have been under the tension of these past war years. Theme song of the country seems to b e "I'm forever blowing bubbles, pretty bub· bles in the air."
Floppy Eared Poodle Follows Ca/eteria Line "Haven't you got any bones around here? My goodness! A guy like me can't eat those dainty little salads, nor orange juice either. I want some service!" Perhaps those were the thoughts of the fuzzy, floppyeared, brown and. black dog who pati.ently fol· lowed the cafeteria line w ith hungry students, Thursday, October 18. He lifted his nose hopefully toward the stew while passing, but finally gave it up, philosophizing on the toughness of lfeing a dog, and padded out into the kitchen, 'smelling for meatier pastures.
Phidias, the Wandering Homeless Cat, Turns Out to Be a Fine Arts Lover From the· first, Phidias knew he was interested in art. He was very happy in his home just breathing in the pleasant surroundings, but, after a time, these things got dull. He began to wander farther and farther away from home at night. At last one morning he didn't return for his usual saucer of milk. Thus he became a homeless vagabond, a refugee of fortune. His thfrst for artistic knowledge led him on. Then he found his destination. Lincoln high school. Where could be a better place to learn? His keen sense led him toward Miss Helen Wilson's class. Al· though his goal was sighted, his torture was not over. Boys pulled his tail; moccasins, saddles and G.I. shoes just missed his furry body. Then the unbelievable happened. Miss Wilson herself discovered the poor distressed creature and, because of her love for cats, she r escued him, carrying
Question of the Week Noticing the dreamy-eyed, wistful look on the ·faces of so many students, your traveling reporter decided to take a chance and see if she could get them to "give out" with some snappy answers to, "If you could make one wish that would come true, what would it be?" Well here they are, judge for yourselves. Barbara Strubbe: "Find the pe1·son who invented sho'.lrthand!" {'What ·would you do Barb?) Justin Harper: "Skip sehool and go pheasant hunting." (Why Justin!!!) Marjorie Devoe: "That June 1 and graduation were here." (Now Marj, you know you like school.) John Luebs: "That all future wishes come true." (Do you read Popeye, too, John?) Shirley- Seright: "That I could get rid of that dreadful nickname!" (Poor Shirley) Ed Carter: "Just take me to Seattle." (Why so mysterious, Ed?)
Open Forum To the Editor: Meat, be it lamb, beef, veal, mutton, ham, bacon; it is still a great improvement over no meat at all. The Lincoln high school cafet eria, no slur intended, lacks the essential four .out of five days a week. If a. person . is dieting, as are certain female enrollees of Lincoln high, then this l ack should not be of any concern. :tiowever, those who come to satisfy their stomachs are very likely to n otice and disapprove of a m eatless Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. In all fairness, it is true that on occasion the bread line is blessed with some meat loaf. A nice piece of baked ham, pork shops, .roast beef, etc., would also be a satisfying dish. Perhaps the cost of such dishes is considered prohibitive. Pupils would expect to and would pay the added cost b ecause the meat would form a larger part of the meal. For the sake of the stomachs of Lincoln high, heed the plea. BARCLEY BAYLEY.
him to the· safety of her classroom. He had found what he wanted. His thirst for knowledge of the finer arts was quenched. Now he could climb up on a lap, purr softly, and watch some serious young artist make brave attempts at drawing or painting. However, everyone, including Phidias himself, agreed that school was no place for a cat. Maybe that's why, when asked to go and live at Joyce Steel's house, he purred loudly in consent. After all, wasn't it more important to be kept clean and well fed than it was to gain knowledge, a cat's paw would never be able to use, Phidias thought.
Writers Club Unbearable, Wasn't It?
Just the othmer day I was saying that 1945 must have been almost unbearable. There wasn't a single modern convenience and everything moved so slowly. I still can't see how our grand• fathers managed to live. Just think, it took them twelve hours, by plane to get from New York to London. Even now the 150 ton cargo planes can get there in five hours.

School Bank, Located in 132B, lmPortant Place One of the most important functions of the school is located in 132B. It is the bank. The bank is used as a place to deposit all money collected from various clubs or from other activities. If a club treasurer has a bill to p ay, all she or he has to do is go to the bank, present the bill, and the person at the bank will then make out a slip telling of the amount, etc. It then goes to H. C. Mardis, who sends it over to . the board of education. The board of education makes out the check; then sends it back to the bank. The bank turns it over to the treasurer, who then gives it to the proper person. Work connected with the bank requires the service of many persons. The assistants helping Melville Green this semester are: Irene Holter, Marjorie Stewart, Grace Haskins, Barbara Gunn, Phyllis Hansen, Lucille Boese, Dorothy Beggs, Shirley Fried, Doris Schmidt, Katherine Schnei· der and Donna McKeag.

Home Economics Classes Acquire New Ovens for the Art of Baking Something new has been added to the labor atory of Mrs. Katherine Henninger's home economics classes which should really help her students learn the art of baking. · That's right, three new ovens are installed with more e~ected to come later. For merly the classes had only one oven to use, which was very inconvenient because only a few students could bake. Now the whole class h as a ch ance to bake their masterpieces. The new ovens are pint size, but
they really do the job. They have burners that light automatically, thus doing away with the bother of matches in class. They operate on gas, while the ovens that are expected soon will operate on eiectricity. The new ovens have spacious · baking compar tments that should turn out some delicious food if used correctly. They are white enameled and h ave a very sturdy look. The boys' secO'lld period class is using them for e''{periments on baking. They h ave · w3ed them to make biscuits, muff ins and numerous other things.

Mardis Tells of Violations Complimenting pupils on excellent behavior and courtesy to speakers in assemblies, H. C. Mardis reminded sophomores in their assembly, Tuesday, that handclapping is the only form of applause. - He told the students that never had any speaker any remark to make except in gratitude on the courtesy shown by the students. Emphasis was placed on better conduct in study hall and in the library. Mr. Mardis indicated that if a student has no studies he should refrain from interrupt- ing a friend at work. Two violations by lOB students and newcomers concern smoking on the school grounds or in the school and walking up the stairwells on the wrong side. Smoking on the school grounds or in the building violates regulations made by the board of education. Stairwells should be followed on the right in order that a right turn may be made at the landings. Mr. Mardis used for example a student going up the stairs on the left when dismissal bell is rung. The student is suddenly beseiged _ by hundreds of fellow students going downstars. This one instance could cause a serious injury to the pupil who violated the principle.
Officers Elected a~ D.E.A. Meeting

From each· pupil a club· fee of twenty-five cents was collected.

Seene at School By Nancy Glynn Hi-Schoolers! - The Mummers play was really tops! Congratulations to the cast and all concerned for such a swell performance! Those sound-effects were great!! Seeing the play together a~ first-nighters were, Mary Alice Dosek and Herb Gish, Joan Selleck and Jerry Seigul, Phyllis Pelton with Ed Weir, and little Barbar Omsler was with Lee Bykerk. While Saturday night Donna Ernst and Jack Polson, dated after the play, as did Olive Gettman · and Gayle Lebsack. · Here is a puzzle. One of the Bob Beckers is very smitten over Kathie Schrieber, now let's see how long it takes Kathie to find out which one it is!! Ed McEachen will bid Pat Phillips a fond farewell this week. We'll all miss you Pat, and good luck in your new home, New Jersey. ~· · Cupcake happened to wander into 326, fourth period the other day and heard the octet sing Joan Williams new song; "Within My Heart."

THE ADVOCATE
New members were initiated by the Orpheons at their first meeting, October 17, in 326. After Catherine Worcester, secretary, read the Orpheons constitution new members repeated a creed and bowed before the old members. A piece of tissue paper was then given to each member and by aid of a comb, the group accompanied David Evans, president, who sang, "America." Gwen McCormack, vice-president, announced the formal program. Robert Lallin singing, "By the Bend. of the River," Gretchen Bowers singing "Dessert Song" and Pat Hinds singing, the "Lord's Prayer" were the vocal numbers. Carmen S hephar d gave a violin
solo, "lVIoto PerpeLuo." At the piano were Carleen Henkleman, playing "Maleguena" and Paul "Johnston playing "Majesty of the Deep."
"Drama in the Post War World" was the subject of a talk given by Mrs. Leo Black, former Girl Reserve secretary, introduced last Monday at their meeting by Willa Bubb. "More than acting and learning lines one must cultivate a good voice," she declared. Even if the subject is interesting the audience will be less attentive if it is given in _ an unpleasing voice. Learning to pause and not run words together was another point stressed. "The v oice," she said, "should range through seven steps, happiness as the highest and hatred as the lowest tone. Relaxation of the speaker is also important," she concluded. Ruth Ann Curtiss lead the group singing and the devotionals were read by Betty Thieman. They were "I Am a Girl Reserve." "Fantasy" was played by Dorothy Speer. Representatives Chosen. Harr iet Houston, Barbara Ebright and Willa Bubb were chosen to represent Lincoln high in the inter club council. This group meets with the Girl Reserves club members of Northeast, College View and Teachers college to plan suppers, parties and conferences for the groups as a whole. Winners of the membership contest between "Duz" and "Supersuds" will receive surprises at a Girl Reserves party November 2 at the Y. W. C. A. All seven committees of the Girl Reserves have met. Meeting Friday, October 5, was the program committee with its chairman, Willa Bubb. Tuesday found three committee meetings, social, Dorothy Speer; service, Jere Merritt, and music, Ruth Ann Curtiss Those meeting Wednesday were the membership committee, Ruth Speer; finance June Hornby, and publicity, Sheila Collins in charge. Carolyn Harris is the _newly appointed chairman since Evelyn Ja.eger· has moved out of the city. All girls met at the Y. W. C. A. club rooms and played games, separating only to plan business, then meeting again for lunch and singing.

Omaha Tech Invaded by Lincoln High Superior Links Due to Repeat Last Victory The Red and Black clad Lincoln gridders will meet a good Omaha Tech eleven on the Tech field at 3:00 Friday, November 2. Tech, beaten last year by Lincoln, will be out to revenge its defeat and upset the favored Links. T wo men who saw service against Tech last year, Hoffman and Bergquist, will probably start in · the backfield against the Maroons. Last year Kirkendall and Bartlett stole the show, each cat ching a pass for a touchdown, with Fink scoring an extra point on a plunge to defeat Tech 13- 12. The Links took an early lead when Bob Hubble, surrounded by Techites, heaved a 35-yard pass to Kirkendall in the e nd zon e for the score. Fink's plu nge through tackle was good for the ext r a point and a 7- point lead. Tech roared back with Ar mer passing 27 yards to Mollner for the first score. The attempted conversion went wide and Lincoln led 7-6. The Red and Black scored aga in in the second stanza w ith Hubble passing five yards t o Bartlett for the score after Kirkendall h ad shared a beautiful 30-yar d pass on the 5. Hoffman's t ry for the extra point was stopped inches short. Again Tech came back, with Short b locking Kelly's att empted kick and Nebbia falling on the ball in the end zone for the score. The attempted kiek was again wide and Lincoln led 13- 12. The second half was deadlocked wit h neither team scoring. The two t eams have met 22 times on the football field w ith the Links comimng out on top, 19 times a n d Tech winning 3. The largest score was in 1942 when Lincoln was victor 51-0.

Canine Competition ls Given to Players Among the gridiron t raditions there iii one that will never ease. Have you ever witnessed a football game without seeing a ·dog of some sort on the fleld? M a i,. y announcers have stated in their broadcasts, "And there ladies and gentlemen, the traditional pooch makes his way on to the football field, only to be extracted by one of the officials." Running true to form at the Northeast-Lincoln high game was one of our canine firends, a brown and white collie. Dividing his ·attention between Lincoln and Northeast players, he defiantly nippd the heels of the boys doing their calisth~ enics. Two other . dogs made short fo.rays into the field. Tiring of the game, the collie, made his way over to the northwest corner of the field and there he dozed off in deep Slumber, not to be disturbed until the conclusion of the game.

To Quiz 900 on School Problems To find out what problems should be studied to improve t he pr esent system, a survey is to be conducted by the board of education. Nine hundred people who are either parents of school children, school board employees or non-parents will soon receive questionnaires in the mail. The opinions obtained will be used in the study of school problems by Professors Clyde M. Hill and Samual M. Brownell of Yale who are in charge of the survey. Questions asked are: 1. Should schools change practices and if so h ow? 2. Should greater attention be given to handwriting, r eligious education, sex education, spelling, moral instruction, discipline, college entrance preparation, and salaries of personnel? The foregoing directions were r ead before the regular Tuesday morning school board meeting.

John Mason Brown, Critic and Author, Advocates Pupils Reading War Books J ohn Mason Brown, dramatic critic and ·author, who lectured on the Town Hall series Friday, November 2, expressed himself in an interview as being passionately in favor of high school student's r eading )iterature which has come out of this war, because he felt that would tend to make the lessons seem more vivid and real. He particularly r ecommended Winston Churchill's writings and the book entitled "The United Stat es Marines in Iwo J ima" for interesting material of permanent v alue. "The public in general knows and cares nothing about w ar," he stated in explanation, "because America has not been a target

area as have the other countries. This is our last m oment of immunity. In case of another war, we will be in a target area.'' Mr. Brown declared that he favors compulsory military service as a means of awakening our young men to the responsibilities of democracy. "They have a wisdom you can't get from soft living," he said of those back from the fightin g. "No teacher of philosophy is as good as approaching danger. It is a little like riding on a rollercoaster, and having a desire to laugh. It is amazing, however, how quickly life reasserts itself ev:en for the young soldier who has no business to r eturn to."

Unemployment to Begin With Introduction of Atom In the beginning when man first started to work with his hands and earn a living, everyone had an equal chance. There was no unemployment which resulted from not having work available. If a person could not find work it was his own fault, to a great extent. Machines came along! For some it was a great help because it allowed things to be done more quickly, more cheaply and more efficiently, but for others it was an: evil. For where a given amount of work could be. done in a day by the employment of say 20 persons, this total amount of work could be done by a machine employing only one person in half the time. The workings of our society are based on the fact that every individual has the chance to work and earn a living. But ~he original condition is slipping away and so.. ciety now bases its working formula on something which, as the world progresses, will no longer exist. We can not put off this problem any longer. With, th~ ~!'lve.11t of at omic energy, life, we are told will be made very easy. But will it? Just as people are thrown out of work as machines were adopted, so will this be true as atomic energy is used to replace possibly coal, oil and electricity, and atomic energy will also bring a virtual revolution of industry. We can no longer think in terms of pre· sent days society. We must adopt ourselves to the new conditions that will arise when the farmer spends half t he time he used to spend in the field and produces four times as much, and when the No. 1 white collar worker will be able to wor k only a few hours a day because there aren't enough jobs to go around. Is this a problem of economics or human r elations ? Who is going to answer this problem? You or your government? Will we accept it with calm determination, · or will we let it sneak up on us and slap us in the face ? Yesterday the problem did not exist. To· day, we are already feeling t he effects of it .. Tomorrow, well, it's up to you whet her we take the course of an ostrich, and hide from it; or whether we t ake that of a giraffe, and stick our necks out.
School Bus Situation Improved. by Campaign Have you noticed the bus after school which takes · Lincoln high school pupils home? They are get ting in line and t aking their tur.ns getting a seat. This is so much better than before when everyone shoved and pushed. The line goes very fast and before you know it, you are on, without dropping one book or having a br uised knee. It's a great improvement, helping to make it a ride we r eally want to look for ward t o after school. The safety campaign is showing r esults.
Modern Improvements Aid System of Education •
The system of education seems to be swiftly changing from the old fashioned readin', writin' and 'rithmetic. Things are being pr esented t o the classes in t he way they like to r eceive them. The schools offer a better chance for the individual and give more individualized instruction. Also the visual aid department is receiv· Ing more and more attention. There is a st~ady flow of films from t he univer sity a udio visual aid department. The majority of these pictures are sound, and a few in t echnicolor. New building improvements are necessit ated as t his type of presentation incr eases. There will be a need for a larger darkroom and possibly a sound proof projection booth.

Meatless Week Explained By Caleteria Head In last week's issue of the Advocate a letter w as received by the editor from Bar clay Bailey concerning the lack of meat on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Mr s. Hilda Kargo, head of the Lin coln high cafeteria, was very glad to give information concerning this problem. "In the first place," Mrs. Kargo stated, "we couldn't possibly h andle the crowd." There is only one hour and fif· teen minutes for serving lunch and it w ould be impossible to get to each student. And on the other h and, maybe only a tenth of the students could afford to pay the price, which would be about 15 cents a plat e. In t he second place, Mrs. Kargo w ent on to say, "The state agricultur.al college says t hat only t wo ounces of protein are needed every day, and this can be found in cheese, eggs, and dry beans, on our counter every day." Last, but also important , is the l ack of oven space. The cafeter ia is not equipped wit h a sufficient number of ovens t o p repare t he meat. Along with t he lack of ovens, is the lack of meat. It is v ery hard t o get pork chops, beef or baked ham, even in small quantities.

Open Forum Rules Unfair, to Dogs Dear Editor : On behalf of the Lincoln branch of the "Dogs of America," a society in which I am privileged t o be a member, I charge Lincoln high with having rules unfair to d ogs. When a dog has traveled a great distance just to n uzzle up against a k nee belonging to an L.H.S. student, what h appens? Some kind- hearted t eacher is forced by those rules t o put t he wayfarer out in the c_old, secr etly h oping all the while that some kind-heart~d, r ule-br eaking stud ent will let him in again. Then n ot only has the p oor f ellow tr aveled all that distance for n othing, but the younger and ore foolish of our members are exposed t o the danger of cars. I a sk you, is that fair t o us? If something is not done t o remedy t his situation quickly, I fear we will h ave to r emove the rule in our society which states that all members are forbidden to bite, nip or in other ways mu tilat e an L.H.S. student or faculty member. Please, won't you change the rules so we dogs may l eave your s chool jitterbugging and singing " Good, good, good! That's you, that's you." SKIPPY. Editors note: Skippy, all L.H.S. students love you, but w e have to abide with rules. · - Th e Edit or.

Peeping Back One year ago: Plans wer e being finished for the Fir st Hi-Spot to be held on Friday, November 10. The Red and Black defeated Omaha Central t o the count of 13- 0, and Omaha Tech, 13- 12.
Dorcas Weatherby, Native Nebraskan, Selects Traveling for Future Plans Tr aveling! That is the plan of the futur e for Miss Dorcas Weather by, genial girls adviser. Miss Weatherby is t he first faculty member interviewed in an ·e ffort to better acquaint th e stu· dents with their t eachers and other faculty m embers. An interesting . not e in Miss Weatherby's car eer is, to her, the outstanding one. She is a native born Nebr askan. Graduating from Seward high, she t hen journeyed to Lincoln and enrolled in the Univeristy of N ebraska, wh ere, after four long, hard, years she r eceived her B.A. degree. She l aunched her teaching career at Plainview high school and later went to Alliance high school. One of outstanding memories of h er earlier t eaching occured while she was t eaching at Plainview.
Itn The Classes I An attractive and lasting dis· play with "Tune et Nunc," m eaning, " then" and "now", as the topic, is b eing pr epared by the pupils of Miss Marie L. Cross' fifth period Latin 3 class. To illustrate the costumes, jewelry, im· plements and customs of th e t imes of Julius Caesar i t .is planned to display examples of that tim e in comparison t o present day life. A poster of derivatives m ade b y a former class was shown to the L atin 3 clas ses -0n Oct ober 9
and plans discussed for making a new one by t he pr esent classes. While an editorial w as read which contained 120 der~vatives; t he class attempted t o pick t hem all out. Band officers who h ave been chosen are Donna McKeag, captain; Arnold Davis, first lieutenant ; Max Hansen, second lieutenant; Rose Hanneman and Norma Hawkins, drum majorettes. Footstools ar e most popular of th.e proj ects which the girls in Miss Helen Wilson's home economics 12 class are now beginning. Darlene Hand is padding and. cover ing a chair for her father . A few other girls are m aking curtains and bridge sets. When all the projects are finished, members of t he class will have a t ea for their mother s t o display the articles.
Question of the Week Well, stu-dunce, as your wander ing reporter was elbowing her way through the halls, it suddenly dawned on her why all you gals had that gleam in your eye last w eek (and why you fellas w ere playing deaf!). So she asked, "What is your opinion of Sadie Hawkins' dates?" June Fislar: They'r e okay if the man you w ant isn't in the Navy!! . Dick Russell: I t hink they'r e swell! (Could P.W. h ave a nyt hing to do with this?) Mary Helen Mallory: It's h ard on L'il Abner- I think!! Ted Schultz (fiendish laugh ): It depen ds on who the little flower is!! (Could it be "Doddie" Hand?) Fern Egger : It's plenty hard on the pocketbook! Bob Resseguie: She g-0t me!!
She went t o a football game and the luckless Plainview club fell 100 to 0. " Our boys weren't too big," r e· marks Miss Weatherby with a chuckle. While teaching at Alliance she became inter ested in social w ork. Coming t o L. H. S. she was attendance director until 1943 when she became the Lincoln high " dean ·of girls" upon the r et irement of Miss Olivia P ound. During t he summer she furt hered h er educat ion by attending Northwest ern university where she r eceived her Master's degr ee. Miss Weatherby has no im mediate plans for the future other than an urge to travel to Mexico, so don't be surprised if someday you see Senorita Weat herby walking down the hall in a big hat and eating a hot tomale.
Red Was the Cause
Queer how col or s in their ab· sence can become identified with t he most import ant t hings in a per son's life-especially by a man wit h much time to think.

Students Paint For Health Board Joan Raysor and Bob Askey, senior and junior r espectively, were employed for approximately three weeks by the Nebr aska State board of health. Both students volunteered for t he job which consists of drawing six large pictographs at four dollars each and six smaller ones at t wo dollars each for a h ealth p amphlet, not knowing they w ere t o r eceive r egular commercial artist's pay. Instr uctions for the drawings were received, giving some idea of what w as expected. Bob and J oan were then to use their imagina· tion.
The drawings w ere made with gr eatest accuracy on special mat erials so they might be easily r eproduced on zinc. Miss Helen Wilson of the art department commented, "There have been only t wo or thr ee in· stances of this k ind over a long period of time because pr actically all ar t work is done by students Of L.H.S. volunt arily. It is of some value for stu dents to know that the combination of natural abilit y with training permits some per sons t o earn a living in commercial ar ts."
Pedometer Shows Student Walks A n A verage Three Miles in School If you should ask a person how many miles a day he w alks in school, you might get answers anywher e from one-half to fifteen miles. An actual test was made on four different students with the use of a pedometer, and it showed the average t o be t hree miles that an average student walks in the halls of L.H.S. A pedometer is a gadget designed t o measure how far a p er· son walks. It is about the size of a pocket watch and has a large h and t hat r otates to tell the fr action of a mile and a small hand to tell the number of miles. The number of inches in the step of the per son is measur ed and the p edomet er is set accor dingly.
I Writers Club
Its t heory of operat ion is based on a small weight that is balanced inside the gadget and jerks back and for th with each step. It may be attach ed t o a person's belt and t hus every step causes the balanced weight to jiggle and r egist er the amount of space cover ed. This pedometer is surprisingly accurate and is u sed on hikes t o det ermine the dist ance walked. It can be u sed in m any interesting w ays, such as to determine the distance a postman or policeman walks covering his daily beat, or t o be .used as it was, countlng the number of miles w alked in one day at L.H.S.

Mr. Fenton
Clocks Go on Blink Did you wonder if you had gotten up a couple hours early last Tuesday? Well, to set your minds at ease, we'll tell you what happened. A fuse blew out on the master clock of the school, hence it stopped all the clocks in the building. The fast clicking and roundthe-clock running of the hands were the clocks catching up for lost time. A push button under the master clock ticks off a minute every time it is pushed. There now-the mystery is solved! ! !.

School Holds Open House In Observance of National Educational Week Today Regist1·ation Tasl{ Begun Annual registration has again broken the serenity of home room period. Started on November 7 and be'ing due on December 3, it is reported to be coming along as expected. A few changes have been made, otherwise r egistration carries on "same as usual." P robably the most important change is the fact that no English 3 will be offered next semester because there will be no incoming sophomores. This is the first time in the history of L.H.S. that English 3 has been discontinued for a semester. The color of registration cards has been changed so that the cards are three colors instead of all one color. This is to some advantage for ·teachers and students as one will be able to recognize immediately that the white cards has been signed by parents ,for the office files, the others are. for the home room teacher and the pupil's copy. Members of the national honor society are assisting lOB teachers with r egistration. John PoE assists Miss Lillian Story in 112; Paul Burger and Kaye Moore assist Miss Ethel Murray in 120; Phyllis Cadwallader, Miss Helen Jo Miller in 121; Marian Meger, Mrs. Ruth Dodge in 136; Robert Vanderslice, Miss J ennie Piper in 315; Mick Putney, Hugh Rangeler in 326; ·and Geraldine Tubman, Mrs. Lillian Lawson in 133.
Senior Play Tryouts Held For Dramatists Because of the l arge number of persons .trying .()l,lt Ior t he senior play, both Wednesday and Thur sday, November 7 and 8, were needed to complete the first elimination. Thirty-six persons Wednesday n ight and nine persons Thursday are the group from which . the cast for "The Man Who Came to Dinner" will be chosen, after which rehearsals will be h eld from 3:30 to 5:30 every night after school. The cast will be announced some time ~n the future.
Director of Tuberculosis Prevention Says L.H.S. Pupils May Have X-Rays Next Spring Miss Jones pointed out that examinations of people who appear well is an essential part of preventive medicine. X-ray had an important part in World War II. Besides inspecting t he war plants, units were installed in induction centers, resulting with 120,000 deferments because of t uberculosis. Portable X-ray machines were also sent to field hospitals and played an important part there. After having an X -ray taken, the person is given a white paper cross with the following words printed in red ink, "I have had my X-ray, have you?" The week of November 5- 10 has been designated by a society of physicians who specialize in radeology, as "X-ray in Health Week." The p urpose is to honor the discoverer of X- ray, Wilhelm Konrad Roentge, who 50 years ago, on November 8, 1895, discovered t his scientific "Seeing- Eye."
If the Parent Only Knew the Real Truth With exclamations of oh! and ah! coming from au directiOns the doors of L. H. S. will be thrown open to tonight to admit scores of inquisitive parents. The scene is the annual open house. Open house is when the teachers straighten up their rooms and put on their biggest smiles to give our parents the impression that school is like this all the time. The halls are filled with swirling hordes of parents rushing from one room to another, loudly condemning so many steps and wondering how the students get from class to closse on time, which they seldom do. There is much handshaking all around and many inquiries as to why "Johnny" isn't doing better in school. This always causes a lot of embarassment for "Johnny." After an hour and one-half of this, the teachers close up shop wondering how they will write the next day a.nd the parents go home proclaiming what a fine · school this is and fondly recalling their school days.
Links Board To Select Staff In the hands of home room teachers is the bulletin with information and qualifications for the Links staff. These positions are open mostly to those scheduled to graduate in 1945, although some juniors will be considered for certain positions. The editor to be chosen should have executive ability, literary perception, imagination, and t aste, according to the bulletin. His task in proposing what departments and features shall be included in the book. He will be inconstant touch with staff members. Managing editor makes up the book, plans the dummy, handles the engravings and candid shots, and deals directly with the printer. Howard Doerr has already been .chosen as business manager. He will attend to financing the book. He will oversee the bookkeeping, advertising; circulation and drawing up of the budget. Biography editor is in charge of all details of student and faculty biographies, and will check with th e editor in charge of formal pictures.

Veterans Are Not Social Problems, Need Friendship Does your mind still recall the bloody months of Tarawa,. Saipan, Guadalcanal, Okinawa, Tinian, Iwo or France, Italy, Africa, and Germany; the depressing sea battles when many of our ships and neighborhood boys sank beneath the waves to lie forever in time forgotten obscurity? It is too soon to forget; it will forever be too soon. They who gave their lives rather than submit to our ";';Juld be conquerors have no voice in our living world except the thoughts expressed in the words of their -;omrades, who know the beautiful dreams, and expectations of their dead buddies. Ima.gine that you are a veteran. It may be that you are a sailor, or perhaps a marine or soldier. You step off the gangplank of the troop ship along with thousands of veterans, board a train and speed towards home. Gosh, but it'll be good to be back! You can see the sun through the Pullman windows. Sure it's the same sun you saw on that troopship every day and it's the same sun you hated on that blistering Pacific island, but it's beautiful, for now its Nebraska's sun and soon it belongs to Lincoln. You were kidding yourself when you said you weren't sentimental. You're tough, but anyone is entitled to laugh a little-and cry. Dad and Mother are at the station. So is Jane with little Bobby. ' It seems awkward. You told yourself that if nothing else of your old home life pleased you, the presence of your loved ones would more than make up for it. But you are disappointed. Shocked, you realized that people outside of your family may not seem interested in you. People are too busy forgetting the . war and -thinking of themselves to remind themselves that they owe you a little friendship and welcome home. They may speak more of the scarcity of articles and the coming increase in production of civilian goods than of the returning veterans. Disillusioned, you go home, wondering if all this was worth the fight. You also wonder what your lost buddies would think if they were alive. We can learn to live with our returning veterans best by merely talking with them Of ,course they · detest telling countless times "how terrible it was over there" and replying to such untactful statements as, "Weren't you lucky you weren't killed instead of losing an arm." Yes, maybe they were "lucky," but they will be even luckier if they aren't made social problems by unthinking people. · Friendliness is a cheap antidote for lone• liness.
Be It Cores or Seeds, Waste Basket's the Place A person wouldn't think of putting an apple core or grape seeds under his chairs at home, so why do some put seed shells in the desks? They make a very unclean appearance and they leave.an unhealthy mess for someone else to clean up. Persons who do not mind dirt or messy surroundings are in the minority. If all work together to try tC> keep waste paper in the baskets and seed shells and other trash out of the desks, it will improve the appearance of the school 100 percent and work can be done better in neater and cleaner surroundings.
National Anthem a Symbol Of True American Spirit As the band strikes up the "Star Spangled Banner" on the football field, direct your eyes to the masses of khaki clad figures and see each arm whip up in unison to a snappy salute. One can feel a tinge of pride for our armed forces upon viewing this spectacle. On the field, in the stands, wherever they may be, the national anthem acts as a master sw_itch relaying currents to the hundreds of arms which react by giving out with the salute which symbolizes the armed forces of our country.

Satisfaction in one's work is the best pay one can receive, according to Otto Hackman, while being interviewed 'during the survey of the Lincoln high faculty to find better understanding between students and teachers. Previous to his employment at Lin c o 1 n high, Mr. Hackman worked for the Burlington railroad in Omaha doing office and clerical work. He was also employed in banking at one time as well as farming. He received his bachelor's degree at Peru and his master's degree at the University of Nebraska. Before coming to Lincoln he taught in rural schools in Nebraska and at Richmond high school, Richmond, Indiana. Mr. Hackman finds his work very interesting, with never a dull moment and never two days alike. His most humorous experiences are when boys call µp to excuse themselves from school and say it's their dad calling. "I'm getting so I can usually tell if it's an adult voice~ or a boy's voice," he laughs. "One of the most difficult problems I have is arranging schedules. Sometimes ·
it seems that they just won't work out and the most difficult .ones seem to find their way to 211. "I find most boys very fair,'' he states, "and if they have the right attitude we can usually work things out very successfully. I would rather boys came into my office with the idea I am there to help them, instead of to punish them." When asked what his hobby is Mr. Hackman replied, "Music." He has been in boys glee clubs and took active part in his college quartet. During last summer Mr. Hackman was given the opportunity to '-. fly with an officer at the Lincoln Army Air Base, but for more ex• tensive travel he chooses to go to Europe by boat, as flying doesn't seem to agree with him. "I am apt to 'toss up the cookies', as they call it in army," he chuckled. Mr. Hackman has a son in the navy and two daughters who graduated from the University of Nebraska. "My future plans to stay at Lincoln high as long as they -will let me," he concluded.
Torture Chamber Discovered by L.H.S. Student
Radio Controlled Plane Lands on North Field
In the farthest corner of L.H.S., which is commonly called the new addition, but is, in reality the now old slave quarter and torture section, there is a small, cold room. In this room is a long heavy table, a huge metal sink, a tray of foaming red liquid, and a weird cylindrically-shaped, glassencircled object with electrical connection. This certain room, in its selected and guarded location, is known to only a few. As this story is being written, I am being hunted by many slave traders from whom I escaped, not without numerous wounds. The room of mystery is the only torture chamber of its type in a modern school. The huge table is -ugh-a dissecting table. The foaming liql.J.id is a disintegrating bath. The cylindrically-shaped object is the only torture weapon of its kind in existence. Students, usually sophomores, who are exceptionally ignorant, are placed in the cruel thing and immediately overwhelmed by numerous sensations until they are harmless. They are then shackled and enslaved for three long years. An example of this cruelty was noted November 7, when a drafting class filed out of its room, down to the dark hall and thendown, down, to the hidden room. Presently screams of terror and cries of awe· issued forth. Thensilence. Only the sound of a whip cracking. Bewildered groups of students again returned to the surface. Yet four were missing, Then-Oh, I can't go on. If I should continue, you might believe the terrible tale. Yes, it is ohly a farce. November 7 marked the first time Arvid Johnson explained the principles of blue printing to several of his drafting classes. To the uninformed the "torture chamber" is only a blue print room in the basement. .It contains equipment for that purpose only. The four missing students are assistants who make blue prints for other clases. Only those students who are ahead of their required number of drawings may participate in this work. -By an Advocate Investigator.

Club G. Clemeens Tells Writers Plans Play Of Atomic Bomb One of the first twenty-five civili<;ns allowed to visit the site of the atomic bomb test in New Mexico, George Clemeens spoke on his obesrvations in a double assembly Monday, November 5. Mr. Clemeens, special events director of radio station KRMT of Des Moines, Iowa, showed a sample of the green glass from the crater and played a recording of his original broadcasts. Following the explosion of the world's gteatest discovery since the beginning of mankind, the atomic bomb, great billows of smoke rose to a height of some 40,000 feet. A gigantic burst of wind, believed to have been traveling at a speed of some 750 miles per hour, was unleashed at the detonation of the atomic power in the bomb. The flash was seen seventy miles from the scene by a · blind person riding in a car. "From the air, the crater resembled a large lake in the form of a saucer," stated Mr. Clemeens. . He then went on and explained the crater as being six feet deep and the melted sand had extended about 400 yards from the center of the blast. The sand melted by intense heat in the explosion was a greenish. blue and about a half inch thick.

Junior Girl History Classes Study Romans, Give ·Sci.ence Attends Ultra Reports; Voice Class Find Faults by Records New School Consists of 42 Small Buildings
Comparing the Greek and Roman early civilizations, Miss Jennie Lou Piper 's third period world history 1 class found t hat the early Romans copied much of the Greek literature, language a nd architecture. The Romans even had gods similar to those of the Greeks. The students think that the Greek civilization was more easily u nderstood than the Roman. Folders on epithelial tissue were made by each pupil in Miss Helene M. Schemel's t hird period physiology class. This includes pamph lets an d paper write-ups on hair, skin, teeth and nails. "The fingers are the phalanges, the wrist is the carpus, and the head is the sk11ll." Such were the utterances of Carl Manthey's t hird period physiology 1 class, October 29 and 30, when a human skelet on w as exhibited before the class. Each student was given the opportunity of naming the different bones, giving both the scientific and common name applied to each. After the class had made comments the grade was voted upon.

THE ADVOCATE
George Cobel, Ed Carter, Don Gish .and Roger Hancock represented Lincoln high schooi at the first major debate tournament held at Topeka, Kansas, Friday and Saturday,. November 16 and 17. Three states, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri were represented with between 65 and 70 teams participating. Carter and Cobel constituted team A and Gish and Hancock team B. Each team debated six times in the course of the two days. Carter and Cobel won four . and lost two, while Gish and Hancock won two and lost four. Many of the teams had two and three semesters of experience back of them. Only orie, George Cobel, out of the four members who went from Lincoln had more than a half semester's class room training. It was observed that Kansas is much s~ronger in debate than the schools here in Lincoln. Miss Florence Jenkins, coach of the debate teams, commented "We were very much impressed by the way Topeka high school bac~ed its debating program as well as its athletic program." The first round of the tournament was held before classes. Topeka high school teachers acted as judges on Friday. A .banquet was held for the debaters on Friday evening. It ended in tillJ.e for the Topeka students and guests to attend a football game between Topeka and Enid, Oklahoma. After the game a varsity dance was held for the football teams, student body and visiting debaters. In conclusion Miss Jenkins stated, "I was not disappointed with the results for we got exactly what we went after. That was experience." Missouri-Valley tournaments to be held in the future will be girls -November 29, 30 at Omaha North high school, boys-December 13, 14 to be. held at Omaha Central high school and an open tournament January 10, 11 at Omaha South high school.

Several games which might be played in a short time and in which a number of people might participate were considered. It was dec~ded that volleyball and deck tennis would be rood games for this purpose. After praising the fine job which the safety and ciUzenspip comimttees are doing, th~ president, Marian Battey, told council members that they would have to be on duty from 6:30 to 8:30 for Open House.

U.S. Marine Tells of Experiences As a War Prisoner of the Japanese

"As a prisoner I spent most of my time in Osaka, 'not Japan proper," said Pfc. Leon Houston of the U. S. marines, former Northeast student, who has been a prisoner of the Japanese since December, 1941, when he was ·taken captive oil Guam. When asked how the three and a half years as a prisoner: were spent he replied that he was one of the lucky ones who was able to work as a stevedore for a Japanese steamship line. "We started by carry 40 or 50 pound boxes aboard the ships," he said, "and gradually worked up until we were carry 500 pound weights." Queried about the prisoners' rations, he said that they were awful and that most of them would have starved if they hadn't stolen from the store houses. "Each prison.e r was to receive one piece of meat a week," he said, "but if the meat ever even reached the camp the sentries got it. At first the Japs wouldn't even allow the steamship lines to feed them any lunch at noon, but at last they agreed to allowing them to have one cup of hot flavorless rice each noon." The last two weeks were the

That is, you have a test on every subjeet you have ever taken during the four years at high school. They start foreign languages very young. My son, who is ten years old, is now taking Latin," said Mr. ~hart. "Capetown is very much like an American city except the people drive on the left side of the street. Gasoline is 50 cents a gallon in Capetown. Before the war it was 30 cents .a gallon. "Standarns of living in. Capetown are low; common people do not have the same right as they would if they lived in the states,'' Mr. Banghart told his audience. He was graduated from the University of Nebraska in zoology. From there he went to Butte, Montana, where he ·worked in a mine; After leaving there he felt as though he could do any job underground. He has been to Ecuador for four years in a gold mine, then to Canada till 1940, and then to ·Africa. Mr. Banghart concluded his talk by saying ''Men and women should know how to do the job mechanically, but do it with their hands first. Never be afraid ·o f getting your hands dirty~"
Rubinoff's violin, made by Stradivarius in 1731, formerly belonged to the Czar of Russia and bears t he Russian coat of arms. Out of 1,100 violins made by Stradivarius before the war there were only 200 left in Europe and 200 in the United States. His . accomapnist, Alexander Nakafka, played phrases from "Polanaise,". "Warsaw Concerto," to "Etude," in boogie-woogie style. "If you can't do a thing from your heart, don't do it at all," he concluded. Backstage he remarked, "The violin is not a very comfortable instrument." He showed a medal he had received for the largest crowd, that of 225,000 people. He wou.l d advise a young person wishing to become a concert artist to take lessons, practice hard and go to a good school. He said that he himself, had given his whole life for music. Rubinoff's favorite piece of music is "Sweet Mystery of Life." The minutes seemed like split seconds and all too soon he was gone, leaving behind the memory of his beautiful music, his gay comedy and a thought .for the day and all days to come.

"There was an unusually good field to choose from this year," stated Miss Muir.
. That great number of people try to press into already wellfilled vocational fields was t he emphasis made by H. C. Mardis in sophomore assembly Tuesday. Before registering for next semester, a student should give serious . thought . to wheth_er his desired vocational field is overcrowded. "Since t he field of aviation is much sought ,'' Mr. Mardis stated, "it is well for students to know that the proportion of aviators before the war to the aviators needed was a ratio .of 130 to one." In the future, the extensive air training needed by aviators will cost from $15,000 to $20,000. However, Mr. Mardis specified that there would be big openings in some fields of aviation ground work. Previous to t he war, there w er e 12 times as many engineers as were needed, and 21 times as many journalists. Nine times as many teachers were trained, although there is a shortage in this field now. Many people are needed in the fields of retailing, merchandise, farming and . selling.

Registration will be completed in home rooms next week, as all cards must be in the office by Monday, December 3. English ,requirements in connections with regist ration were among the items i;;tressed at the faculty meeting Tuesday, November 6. It was pointed out ·that students in a college preparatory curriculum must take literary course 5 or 6 or 14, either during ihe junior or senior year. English 3, 4 and 11 are required for graduation. "It is wise, therefore," stated Miss Sarah T. Muir, head of th~ English department, "for a pupil who wishes to take English 7 or 8 or 10, which are courses in speech, newswriting and debate, to bet those in early, so that they will not conflict with English 11, a senior subject."

"During wartime they had few tourna,ments, but in peace time their competitive sports tournaments are mucni.ihe same as ours in some schools, although in many schools there is no inter-school competition whatever," he deciared. Concerning the effect of the war on the schoo.ls, he explained, "In t he cities and communities t hat suffered directly from the rava ges of war, education seemed to be almost forgotten.

Today's Youth Celebrates l"!mortal Thanksgiving On Thanksgiving a great prayer from an entire nation rises through the clear autumn air. That is the way it is now, and has been from the beginning of our nation, the only country to have such a holiday. Still, this annual ceremony has not deteriorated through the years to become a farce, even though its outward semblance is much different from at first. The Pilgrim creed which fostered the day has vanished, but Thanksgiving itself has grown great enough to span a continent, and who can t ell how much it has contributed to America's creation? This year the flood of thankfulness will be larger and more powerful than in any time remembered by the youth of today. While sitting around the traditional festive table with relatives and friends, and making bright conversation about inconsequential matters, each will be turning over in his mind with a quiet joy the things which have given him the most happiness during the year. Some of them will have been of universal importance, some, of value only to the individual, but all will add to the magnitude of America's prayer.

Future Plastics Unknown; Great Industry Age Near What will be t he future of plastics? Will we live in a plastic car or plane and wear clothes of plastic ? This sounds like a lot of plastic, but the plast ics are said to be the glamour girls of industry's future. Will they find · a place for themselves beside metal, wood, and fabrics, or fade out of the picture. This remains to be seen. Pll:!-stic is in its infancy and will have ver y st iff competit ion with wood, glass and light met als. Many of us who choose plastics as a career and spend months or even years in laboratories will det ermine t he future of the plastics industry. There are many unusual uses for this mat erial, such as in surgery, in r eplacing missing facial parts or repairing damaged tissues, in making glasses which fit under eyelid against t he eyeball, also in new lightweight flexible plastic splints. Maybe even "palstic homes and automobiles will come into being. lt sounds fantastic, but it s ounds interesting !
Rules of Safety Should Be Heeded by Bicycle Riders · What can be done to decrease t he dread• ful toll of deaths and injuries of young cicycle riders ? Through out t he United States almost ten million bicycles weave t hr ough traffic daily, jumping curbs and going through stop signs which t he r ider thinks unimportant. In the last few years the number of bicycles in use · h as doubled. This was probably due partly t o the fact t hat gas was rationed and more people had money to buy their children bicycles. Along with the increase of bicycles in use, we find incr ease in deaths and injuries as a result of bicycle. accidents. Every year about 700 cyclists are killed and 35,000 in· jured. If you ride a bicycle, learn to heed the r ules at all times for bicycle riders arent always observed by motorists. Remember, a glance away from your handlebars may cost you your life.

School Benefits By Green House Flowers, Plants O ne oi th e least knpwn spots in Lincoln high school is the green house located on the four th floor near 402. It r eally doesn't 1ook like a green house now, because t he plants ar e just starting to come up. The zinnias and sweet peas are just peeking through t he fine rich dirt and won't be able to show us their beautiful blossoms until later on in t he semester. A few years ago there wer e banana plants which resulted in producing bananas to eat, but this year it was necessary to star t from scratch again, which means no bananas. The rubber pl ant which towers over the r est of the smaller plants is the center of interest . The Pahns and ferns along side have that feeling of being superior too. Over in the corner is the umbrella plant which is small and very independent .in its own way. · Miss Mary Bardwell is planning to plant by seed some phlox, marigolds, pinks (diant hus) and verbena, w hich means that the cafeteria will have some beautiful flowers t o welcome the pupils when they eat their lunches at noon. These plants that are grow n in their green house, offer their services to Lincoln high school students in order to explain mor e clearly just how they a re constructed.
A.rith,metic Would Be So Much Simpler! One dark, soggy day, having nothing else t o do, t he thought came to me that it would be an excellent idea t o prepare a few h undr ed back · geometry assignments. But, u pon opening my book, the title "Why We Study Geometry" leaped out at me in big black l etters. Since this subject has intrigued me for quite some time, I read on, fascin ated. After re-r eading the first par agraph t hree times I decided that the person w ho wrote this book would make an excellent politician because of the wonderful way in which h e hedged ar ound the subject. The second p aragraph brou ght just as much to the light, so I started in on the third. This st at ed that , in daily conversations, one thinks and r easons out opinions before giving them. It seems to me t hat the world would be an awfully dull place in which to live if no one argu ed over baseless opinions, so why do we study geometry? Phyllis Banks.
Comedies Popular During Last Fe~ Y ears-0~ B. Geen Short subjects shown in .the theaters have exceptional educational value, according to 0. B. Geen, manager of a local theater. "You cannot find anything that contributes more to your education," he said, "than subjects that take you to places you've never been and explain things you've never dreamed of knowing." Mr. Geen said that he did not think war pictures are harmful to normal young people, but tend to make them r ealize what they may b e up against in the future and give them faith in their country. When asked if the local theaters were compelled to discontinue midnight shows, the manager said, "No," but that the city council thought t hat late shows contributed to juvenile delinquency by turning the young people upon t he streets at such an early hour, so the theaters co-operated by discontinuing t hem. "Midnight shows can be h ad on special occasions . such as Hollowe'en and New Year's by special r equest," he said. On the whole he considers audiences v ery well behaved. Light pictures and com edies h ave been most popular · during the few years.

Throw in a Sponge And Soak Up the ·P ool "Empty t.h e swimming pool, · put the orchestra in it, and throw open the doors of both gymnasiums!" This was the brilliant idea of one of Lincoln high's more thoughtful (?) students following her attendance at the crowded High Spot Friday night. Those who like to watch the orchestra could sit on the sides of the pool and swing their legs to .t heir heart's content, while dancers slip over the floors of both gymnasiums without kicking the couples surrounding them every other step." Think it over, d reamers, something may happen!!!
Writers Club A Study in Green There are many var ieties in worms, long ones, shor t ones, fat ones, skin ny ones and map.y others. Ther e is one in particular that I wish to t ell you about. He is the familiar Ooey Gooey. Many p eople k now of his tragic end with the tr ain; but few ar e familiar with his life story. I shall tell it to you, as I heard it from his r elatives. Ooey Gooey w as the round, short and fat species. His ma in fault was his frightful temper. An instance of this was when his wor m obile failed to start. He kicked it, coaxed it, cranked it, cussed it, an deven kissed it, but it did nothin g but l eer a t him. Selanger, a boy came along. Upn spying our little hero, he pick ed him up and placed him into a small pill box. At school he had a moment of glory when the boy put him into the palm of his hand and scared the gir ls with him. B ut all good things come to a n end, for at that moment the b ell rang and Oooey Gooey was placed back in the box and t aken into school. Then t he r eal excitement came. During . lunch time he was placed in a drawer i n the t eachers' desk. As she serenely reached for t he · chalk, she glanced down and saw him, l ying t here perfectly relax ed, in the chalk box. She screamed a nd jumped onto a chair. Oey Gooey smiled pleasantly at her, but all she did was scr eam, "That monster is leering a t me!" Ooey Gooey was deeply hurt, for he was trying t o be friendly and she called him names. Se he p rouddly cock qed his head to one side and proceeded to climb out of his box. Then she screamed and fainted. After school, t he boy took him down by the railroad tracks and let him out again, and Ooey Gooey wen t home and settled himself down to raise family. He hoped to t ell his grand children about his experience because none of his family, nor the neighbors, for that matt er , would believe him. But du e to t he unfor tunate incident with the train, we are unable to tell you any more about Ooey Gooey. Nyla May Perr y
H. C. Mardis Hopes L.!l.S. Will Have More Vocational and Physical Work "I hope to see in Lincol n high a good deal more compreh ensive program in ph ysical education and vocational education," states H. C. Mardis, principal. Mr. Mar dis, backs up this belief with experience as a principal at Shady Side high, in Shady Side, Ohio, arid as head of science dep artment at Athen s, Ohio, high .school. He was also critic supervisor of science at Ohio university. F r om there he went to Hender sonville, North Carolina. He .came to Lincoln high in 1929. H e also says, "We n eed a more ample physical education plant, such as more gymnasiums. We could double the number of shops. We need shops in m etal work, electrical refrigeration, plumbing, and things of t hat sort." Mr. Ma rdis is an ardent believer in t eaching aviation in high schools. H e picked up q uite a bit of aviation knowledge in the first
World w ar. He star ted tr aining in t he infantry, but was later transferred to the. air corps. He never got overseas, but did quite a bit of piloting in the U.S.A. Most of t he aircraft were either fighters or observation craft. Th ey flew between 100 an d 125 m . p. h. and did not carry enough gas to st ay up over any great per iod of time. " I'd like t o travel," he stated, "but the war's held us down so, that I've forgotten wh at it's like to trav el. I could spend m any summers in the mountains without it making me feel badly a t all." Mr. Mardis has earned his bachelor of arts a nd bachelor of sciences at Ohio university, his master's degree at Columbia. He is now finishing work in his doctor's degr ee a t the University of Nebr aska.
Dracula, .Typical Student Haunted By A Bugaboo The hectic time of the day ·around now is home room period. ,The complexion of this normally peaceful fifteen-minute interlude has been radically changed by a bugaboo which haunts teachers' and students' nightma res. Shall we follow a t ypical student, Dracula, we will call him, into a typical h ome room? Dracula steps bodily through the door, glances idly at the clock and oh, oh- The clock points imperialis• tically at 8:41. Well, nothirig like trying t o get by. Quickly he stoops and slithers along the floor on his ha nds and knees, optimisti• cally believing that the 'teacher couldn't p ossibly see him that way. Ah! He makes it to his desk but his self-satisfied smile w as all in vain, for there goes the bell. Can't that clock ever keep the right time? "Dracula !" . calls the teacher. "Come fill out your registration." To save time he r equests that his r egistration mat erials come to him, so some kindly soul in t he front of the room t osses them to him. Deftly he catches the cream, blue and r osy cards, but just misses the folder which spills its contents all over the floor. Now, tha t he h as it, · w hat should he do with it? The problem is pr essing on his m ind. Swiftly he is b ecoming a nen!·ot!.c as h e b ecomes more preoccupied than ever with his problem. There goes the bell! The pallor lifts from Dracula's cheek. He won't ha ve to face r egistration again until tomorr ow !

Ray E. Rice Suggests Guidance ·for Youths Choosing Work in Busines World Tomorrow Ray E. Rice, vocational counselor and vice-president of the Lincoln school of commerce, gave members of the business girls club in a meeting, November 12, suggestions for succeeding in their careers. He brought out the fact that business men and women not only need the essentials; such as typing skill and a knowledge of shorthand plus other required subjects in this field of work, but they need to have other assets, such as perosnality, a good appearance, industry, tectfulness and many other character traits to lead a successful business career. Having much exper ience in guiding young people back from high paying war jobs, Mr. Rice in an Advocate interview stated that there are some, but not very many who are willing to drop from the outrageous salaries during the period of war to the more moderate income of about 110 dollars ',o 130 dollars per month . "As a result of the war, the majority of men anr women today are spoiled," said Mr. Rice.
"Already, business firms are requiring more skill of their employees. Too many boys and girls are just skimming b y or doing the least work possible in the schools today,'' Rice declared. When asked about students not completing high school, the vocational counselor told of the few business men of Lincoln who take advantage of a non-graduate or even a student not planning for education higher than high school, by employing them in .their offices for only 30 dollars per month, knowing that the student will stay because of the lack of further e du cation for higher positions or · in better offices. "It wil~ be increasingly difficulty for pupils just out of high school to receive employment,'' warned Rice. In outlining the business world of tomorrow, he proves that there are different types of work for each letter of the alphabet which will be in demand. For instance in the letter "a" is found agriculture, architecture, automotive and aviation industry.
This is good :for the boys coming back from overseas, do not want to suffer from frustration as many did after World war I, Mr. Rice, having a son on Okinawa, expected hom e in the near future, and a nother son who is a medical missionary in India, is naturally interested in this subject and stat es that boys after World War I, who couldn 't find employ• ment, wanted t o go back into the army where they were at least sure of shelter, food and allow• ance. Rice, who is outstanding in placing Nesei or American .born Japanese students in postions with business firms, states that t hey are a selected group coming front settlements on the west coast, Chicago, Michigan and other cities. These student s are chosen for their industry ,integrity, initiative, tact and almost any other good character found in a well-bred person. Lincoln is one of the favorite towns of these loyal citizens and in turn, Lincoln welcomes them.

"Why doesn't Lincoln high have a home coming game like other high schools do?" is the question voiced by many Lincoln students this season. It is a fact that most high schools in Nebraska don't have home coming affairs, although some, such as Norfolk, Lexington, Alliance, McCook and Chadron, have celebrations annually. Although few. Nebraska schools recognize the holiday, almost all schools in Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Colorado do so, ~s well as many Iowa schools . . They print special colorful programs, and make a big event for the students to look forward to, usually followed by a homecoming dance. The places of honor are reserved for· seniors. An annual program such as this might take the place of olympics at Lincoln, would probably please all the students and should provide enjoyment and interest for

The Lin ks held a 9-0 intermis• sion lead on a safety and touch• down pass. After a scoreless first period which found the Links threaten.. ing twice but unable to score, Harry D avis drove through to block Post's attempted punt and the ball rolled outside the end zone for an automatic two p oints for the Red and Black. Lincoln t ook the Grand I sland kickoff and wit h Hoffman and Knopp carrying the mail, drove to the G.I. 20 where Bergquist flipped t he seed to Roger Rocke in the end zone for the first touchdown.

Senior Play Leads· .· Announced Student Council Is Seeking New School Reforms Selection of New Peppers Considered Election of Peppers, travel to aut-of-town games, class elections and extra-curricular a c ti v i t y points in regard to plays were discussed at the last two student council meetings. Ed Carter charged the Peppers with favoritism in their choices of members. This was denied by several other council members. H. C. Mardis, principal, pointed out that the judges are composed of half faculty, and half pupils, the student judges representing the Everett, Irving and Whittier · junior high schools. With this arrangement the faculty judges balance the student judges. Peppers Judging Explained. Those wishing to apply for Peppers fill out application blanks. Alphabetical lists are made from these applications. Girls try-out in groups of three (done alppabetically) before an equal number of faculty and student judges. The student judges are the officers of the Peppers. Ill the last election two other senior.;-P eppers were asked to help in the judging in order to have a fair representation from all the junior high schools. Applicants are graded 1 to 7 on their ability to present a song and a yell from the standpoint of voice, rhythm, poise, and personality. The student judges and the faculty sponsors add up the ballots and those with the highest sccrres are chosen in accordance with the number which can be added to the- organization according to the Constitution at that time. The chosen list of new Peppers is then posted and the winners are notified by the sponsors. It is not unusual to have eight iimes as many applicants as can be chosen. Members Come to Defense Mary Sue Holland, a senior girl council member, remarked, "A few girls, once they are chosen as Peppers, seem to think that they are big time." Dorothy Borgens, president of Peppers at the present time, said, "Some girls have that attitude once they are chosen as Peppers, but I am sure that most of the girls do not feel that way." Attacks Wartime Policy. Carter also attacked the continuance of the school's wartime policy of attendance at out-oftown games. This policy has been that only certain L.H.S. publication members may be excused to go to the games, other than the team, and that if students did go to the games unexcused, they would receive zero for absence. Previous to the war, pupils were excused to go, under certain conditions. Mr. Mardis said the reason for continuing the school wartime policy against pupils leaving school during the afternoon to attend out-of-town games is the poor condition of cars and tires due to shortages caused by t}le war. Safety was the one word that caused the present policy. E.C.A. Points for Plays Discussed. On the question of E.C.A. points for plays, it ~as informally decided that the two main lead players sh o u 1 d receive eight points, as at present, and the.other parts should be rated as six points or three points, taking into consideration the number of lines spoken and the number of acts in which the player appeared. The question of amending the constitution concerning the method of election of class officers, was submitted to the .council by an outsider, who suggest~d that the elections might possibly be · similar to those of the student council. This will be considered further at a later meeting.
The High-Spot planned for November 30 was cancelled because of complications in getting a band to plciy. It is hoped that in the near future some agreement will be made concerning the music for Highlpots.

T. B. Drive, Is Underway Health Committee to Boost Campaign Before Christmas Boosting the tuberculosis stamp drive sales is one project of the health committee during the remaining few weeks of school before Christmas vacation. Tuberculosis posters, pamphlets and stamps, are now on display in the main corridor near· room 203, and in Miss Dorcas Weatherby's front office window. Through scientific study it has bci':n leaI"1red··-that rooms· painted in different pastel colors reflect light rays differently and also these colors affect the mental attitude of pupils present in these rooms. The west rooms of the Lincoln high addition are to be painted some time in the near future; gradually every room in the building will be painted. Sound-proofing the cafeteria is another project which this committee wishes to promote. During the health committee meeting which was held Wednesday, November 28, other problems concerning the cafeteria were discussed. This committee, under the direction of Miss Ethel Murray, urges each pupil to carry back his trays and glasses to the disposing window when he has finished eating.

According to figures received from the board of educat ion, Lincoln student s in College View, Everett, Irving, Northeast, Whitt ier and L incoln high estimated approximate cost per p upil is $170 a year or $4.75 a w eek. El ementary school sums are slightly lower. In a recent meeting of t he legislative committee of the Lincoln tea chers association, facts present~d showed that 24 b illion dollars is spent each year for food in the United States, while 12 billion is :spe nt on clothing, a nd 5.2 billion and 2.4 b illion are speht, respectively; on a ll!ohol a n<l tobacco each year. Education in the United States is given only 2.3 billion in comparison with these other figures. Nebraska stands at the bottom of the list of states in the fact that it allow s the lowest a mount per pupil for edu cation of any state in the union. T he approved amendment asks only $40 per p upil while California even n ow allows $80 per pupil.
'Largest Epidemic In L.H.S.'-Mapes After an all t ime high of more than 300 students being sent home in the three days preceding Thanksgiving, Mrs. M<iry C. Mapes, school n urse, explained following the vacat ion that t h e cold epidemic had slackened considerably. "The colds were n ot severe," she stated, "many studen ts coming to school t he day after they were sent h ome. The colds w ere only 24 to 48 hours in intensity." I n all the t ime that Mrs. Ma pes h as been school nurse she believed that this two-day epid emic h it Lincoln high the hardest of an y it had · ever had. Th er e were betw een 350 and 450 pupils out of school each day. "Alertn ess of teachers in sending out of the room pupils w ho are sneezing and sniffling is t h e best way I k now of to check these epidemics," she st ated.

· USO Likely Prospect For Youth's Recreation Since the question of recreation for teenagers has been raised twice befor e in this column, I should like to discuss a possible answer to this problem, which has r ecently come to my attention. The solution isn't original. It was first presented on Jimmy Fidler's program a week or so ago. Its success in the city of Lincoln would need the enthusiasm and support of all high school r>tudents and their parents. The plan advocates the reconversion of all U. S. O.'s in the Uinted States for high school students, to be managed in the same manner as before. Not only would this solve the problem of what to do with the U. S.O. when there is no longer a need for its us€: in providing entertainment for soldiers, but it should completely solve the t een-agers' r ecreation problem. Under its pr esent management there is a 'set-up in which women of the community serve voluntarily as chaperons, general supervisors or to check coats. These women would very likely be willing to continue to do this in the interest and for the benefit of their own children. It would provide much, the same opportunities and advantages· that the Student Union does for the university s tudents. As a "hang-out", so to speak, where friends can meet or congreg:ate, and open a t all times of the day, it would surely do its share in contributing toward providing a place where the teen-a~er's leis~re time could be spent, not only m r ecr eat10n, but r est and study. It would be a shame to clo:3e the building when it 'has all the facilities for a high school canteen. The U. S. 0. has helped to solve the ser vicemen's leisure-time problem, why couldn't it solve the high school student's? Let's put our U. S. 0. to con;structive use!

The ' number you now have is the key to your personality. . If your answer is: 1, 3 or 7, you adore jive and jitterbugging. You like people and parties in abundance. All the latest fads are quickly adopted by you.

Study of Fabrics, Fashions, Care of Clothes, Selling Learned by Stock Girls Working After School, Methods, Opinion of·,Buyer "The most successful buyers have started . their careers in high school working as stock girls after school and on Saturdays," is the belief of Mrs. Thomas A. Leadley, junior buyer for Hovland-Swanson women's clothing store for . eight years. "This gives a girl an opportunity to learn fabrics~ fashions, care of clothes, and also to observe methods oi selling from other sales girls on the floor who have learned by experience." "Usually as soon as a stock girl shows signs of ability in selling she is put on the floor as a sales girl and not kept permanetly as a stock girl," she continued. "A salesgirl, if she has the ability, may then work into a position as . a buyer." l'vlrs. Leadley's job' is to buy all junior dresses for the store. "The main responsibility of a buyer is to keep at all times, if possible, a well b alanced stock of merchandise on hand to meet the d emand. This entails a great many trips to markets to check orders for cancellations and deliveries, and to re-spend the cancellation money on merchandise she knows she can get, for a

buyer must adhere to a budget," she explained. Mrs. Leadley says that this type of work is enjoyable if one likes clothes and working w1th people. Hard work is often required, but being a buyer is always interesting as there is invariably something new every day. Previously, buying trips were made only twice a year, but because of conditions in the wholesale markets due to labor strikes and shortage of fabrics, it is now necessary to make three major trips a year, and at least one trip .every two months, Mrs. Leadley related. She added that m~rchan dise is bought three months in advance and that it takes twice as long to have orders filled now as p reviously. "It is the merchant's market now, not the buyer's market," continued the buyer. "The merchants tell the buyers what they can buy instead of the buyers telling the mercahnts what they'd like to buy." The largest wholesale clothing market is New York, where most of the stock is bought, according to Mrs. Leadley, Chicago is also good. One of the fairly new markets is in St. Louis, which has developed into the best· junior m arket in the country, · while California boasts one of the best sports markets. She also added that the end of the war has brought no change, or

even promise of a change soon in the scarcity of mercahndise. When asked how she would advise a high school girl to select her wardrobe, Mrs. Leadley replied that first of all the teen-age girl should look over her last year's same season wardrobe and decide what she can still wear and · use. "Then. she should add on to and work around what she already has. I don't think any girl should have too many clothes at one time because a teen-ager tires of 'her clothes and likes more changes. "In selecting her clothes she should be careful to buy simple clothes in good taste. Also a girl should not get involved with too many colors, particularly in selecting a coat. It is always a little smarter to select a coat of neutral color so she can wear any color accessories," Mrs. Leadley advised. "It is also true that a neutral coat isn't remembered from one season to another and therefore a girl doesn't tire of it so quickly." Mrs. L eadley said that some of the newer styles of spring include fuller skirts, smaller . waistlines, and more fullness in the sleeves. There are also some new colors being shown; one of which is an off shade of white called "Rum

Getting Firm Grip on First.Rung of Ladder to Success is Difficult Emphasizes Coryell Getting a firm grip on the first r ung of the ladder to success is a difficult jo,b . These are the first three steps made by L. L. Coryell as told to a reporter. "First, I asked myself: What is the most important thing in everyday existence? Why food, of course, so I started to farm. "Then in a f ew years ,I asked, what is next in importance? I decided it was transportation to carry the food to people who couldn't grow it. I bought a few trucks and began a trucking business. "After a while I b egan to wonder what is perhaps t he next important to pebple, and I concluded it was housing. People must have a plaf!e to live, so I built some apartment houses," he related. His business has expanded into a million dollar enterprise, for he now manages varied businesses. He sells lumber, has a cold storage plant, raises st ock, owns shares in a bank and h as a gasoline and oil business in 400 citi!'s of 16 states. L. L. Coryell started to farm when he was 20 years old. He farmed h is father's homestead on which he was born. His first year of farming netted him $100. It cost him $86 to live · t hat year. He cut his. 'expenses down by turning his overalls around and cutting the legs off. He laid the r emaining $14 away. Out of that he gave away 10 p ercent, which was $1.40. From that time on he has given away 10 per cent of his earnings which now amount to over a m illion d ollar s. "After one year on the farm I
White." This color is much softer and easier to wear than the dead white of past years. When asked what qualities one must have to be a good buyer, Mrs. Leadley replied that knowing public taste, knowing how to pick out and recognize styk and quality in merchandise and knowing how fo make decisions quickly were among the most important. She concluded by saying, "I would recommend this type of work as a career to any high school girl if she is interested in clothes and working with people."

THE ADVOCATE
Mummers Hear Staff Sgt. Frank M. Hallgren '36 Dine·s A. F. Miller, With Professor of Japanese University Paul B~gan Staff Sergeant Frank M. Hall- served tea. At the end of the Broolis Jones Tells of Activities in University Radio and Dramatic Department Paul Bogen, director of dramatics at the University of Nebraska, gave an informative talk on dramatics at the univer~ity to the Mummers at their meeting Wednesday, November 28. Mr. Bogen recently returned from overseas duty. "Conditions as far as props and staging are concerned have changed considerably," he explained. "Before the war, students in dramatics gained their effects by anything they could throw together. Now it's different. We have possibly the latest equipment available." Mr. Bogen stated that the University theater is not new, ,but it is suitable to immediate needs. He also stated that they hope to have a new modern theater with every CO!l.Venience in the near future. "The Mummers are a tributary of the theaters in ~ew York City. You should strive to do your very best in all your undertakings. This statement seems • strange. Let me explain. You are judged by motion pictures, radio, and the very best of them, therefore y ou must strive to attain the highest' standards. You are welcome to v isit u s any time you want to,'' he concluded.
gren '36, in letters from Kyoto, Japan, to his parents told of life in Japan today. While in Kyoto, he and a friend, Robe:rt Sandberg '36, visited a Professor Namba, who is a graduate of Columbia univ ersity and a professor of the political science department of Doshisha university, and his family. They lived in a typical Japanese tea house surrounded by old trees. The house in true Japanese style had little furniture according to our standard. As they entered the "hall, they were asked to r emove their shoes so that they would not harm the wonderful mats that formed the carpeting which was an inch thick. The dining room was very simple in decoration but very elegant. The only decoration was a handsome scroll on a raisec;l stage with a Japanese floral decoration on the floor before it, done by the professor's wife. The table was about a foot high, covered with a heavy linen cloth. The six cushions upon which they sat were in purple silk r elieved only by one yellow tie in the very center.

mael they were presented with a pair of chopsticks as a gift. After dinner they went into another room where June Namba, the professor's daughter, played Beethoven and Chopin which was regarded as far above the average. From Kyoto, Frank and his friend drove to Osaka, one of the great cities of Japan, which is now surrounded by miles of wrecked areas, and has been severely bombed. The only thing that looked like civilization in Osaka was the street, which was broad and well paved. The electric railway system was also in operation, and in the heart of the city there were a number of fine buildings that were not damaged, among them the Municipal building, which is a rather imposing affair, the Trust building, the New Osaka hotel, and the Mainiche building. All of these are great modern structures which reminded Frank of a city of the type of Chicago. · The relationship of Kyoto and Osaka in normal times might be compared to that of Boston and New York. Kyoto is a cultural center with some industry and Osaka is a great bustling port and industrial area with all the look of the new world. Frank stated that one has a n entirely new picture of Japan after being there. He had imagined, he said, that there were some modern buildings, but on the whole, he believed that Japan was considerably primitive and quaint except for the undercurrent of things which show its true character.

O. W. Green, chief of the regional personnel management di· vision, soil conservation service, spoke before the business girls club, November 26, on a girl's chance to succeed in business. He stressed the point that if a girls interested in a career, she should think seriously about attending college. A girl could succeed in any job she was willing to do. "Where there is a will, there is a way,'' he remarked. Another belief of Mr. Green's was that young women can and do have a part in government jobs. They receive the highest salary in their type of clerical positions, work five eight-hour days and can be promoted. The first year a young woman works for government service she is on probation, but the succeeding years she is in the classi• fication of "career." Seven promotions in the clerical field may be made by an employee and at each step-up she receives $66 more per year. " We hire to succeed, not to fail,'' was his statement. · Some of the duties of the personnel management are to fill vacancies with employees by the merit system and to get training during their probation period. Mr. Green concluded by saying that employees' s afety and health are also watched by the personnel department. A committee to plan a Christmas party for the last meeting before vacation consists of Elizabeth Alexander, Betty Luse, Lillie Gannon, Billie Lou Smith, Wil• lesta Ogle and Fern Egger.

Piccolo Stresses Dreams, Hopes Of Cheerleaders "When I saw the cheerleaders try out l ast year, I got th e idea that I would try. out," said F r ank Piccolo who is now leading cheers for Lincoln high. Frank stressed the need for more school spirit in L .H.S. in relation to reaction to cheers. "It's a great relief after that first cheer in front of an audience when you find out there's nothing to be afraid of," he said. His opinion of a cheerleader's paradise is, "A diamond studded megaphone w ith an all blond cheering section.'' He enjoys leading cheers now that he has done it. His most embarrassing moment w hile leading cheers w as at a game when he finished his cheer before th e other leaders had finished. In conclusion, Frank stated that cheerleading requires less of practice than of actual obser vation of other cheerleaders and their action. Frank plans to go out for football in university in place of leading cheers.

Appetite and Good Humor Lost After .·Watching Girls Maybe Emily Po~t is out of date. Oh, without a doubt her teachings can be carried too far. Certainly, in this age we find few Sir Walter Raleighs ready to sacrifice their topcoat by padding a puddle to impress their certain Queen Bess. But today too many people are leaning in the other direction. Upon: walking into a restaurant and, as usual, not finding a seat, you stand iri some inconspicuous corner and wait quietly for a seat to appear (in accordance to Miss Post's teachings.) To keep occupied you might begin to study the customers. Nine times out of ten the first thing noticed will be someone of the female species drag out her assorted paraphernalia and, upon the completion of her meal, proceed to tidy up. The process includes a quick lipstick job,· followed by a dab or two of pow· der on her cheeks, a quick inspection of her fingernail polish and last , the arduous job of col!lbing her fleecy locks. When this is finished, the damsel, with the help of a handy pocket mirror, proceeds to give herself the final okay before st epping once again into life's complicated pattern. All during this time the onlooker is looking on in obvious rebellion and by the·t ime a place is cleared has lost his appetite and the good humor with which he entered the cafe. This is perhaps an extreme example, but, nevertheless, one which faces various John Q. Public's in many different places. Another similar sit uat ion encountered is in the classroom, where it is not an infrequent practice for girls to comb t heir hair. This, to someone across the room, is not nearly so disconcerting as to t he person sitting directly behind. To this person, eagerly attempting to finish his lesson, it is very nerve-racking to have the person in the seat before him curry her hair. These are but two of t he many situations encountered fronCwhich examples could be m ade, but serve to illustrate the point. Indeed, many people need a little added study with any handy etiquette book.
Cigarettes May Rule Lives; Choice Should Prove Easy Why shun the cigarette ? Advertisers assert that the cigarette is your best friend, and a harmless one. Hesitate no longer. Be a sport. Glamour comes in this small package. You may dislike t he contents at first, but very soon ~ou will be unable to· ignore t he cigarette. After smoking one package, you'll no longer rule your life, but will lose your freedom to the cigarette, and for what? Your cheek, which once blossomed with color, will slowly fade. Your white, feminine hands will become stained with nicotine. You will become nervous and cranky because of the fear of being suspected. Your beribboned hair and feminine, frilled clothes will smell of smoke. Your br eath will come short, and you will look not only modern, but hard, as though you have learned all the answers; but have you? In years to come, you will try t o stop smoking. It's r eally very easy. Most people s top a hundred times or more. Mark Twain, you recall, said, "To cease smoking is the easiest thing I ever did. I ought to know because. I have done it a thousand times." You will become pale and thin, a bunch of nerves and not much more. Your cough may be qiagnosed by your physician as T. B., no less. It will be too late to worry then, however. To demonstrate, nicotine attains its aim t o destroy insects very quickly and effectively. Of course, we are more complex than the insect, so no doubt it takes longer for nicotine to gum up our works. Would high school girls be so eager to become t he slave of the deadly weed if they k new it was "stupid" to indulge ?

Tuberculosis ls Big Problem for All N,ations; Grows . Day by Day With Hardly a Warning .
" I .don't know a nythin g about tuberculosis an d why should I?" While people t hroughout t he world make this statement in a nonchalant manner, other th ousands are homeless and destitute from this sinister disease w hich creeps stealthily a mong t h e ignorant and u nsuspecting. They in turn p ass on this com municable disease which grows d ay by day with hardly a war ning. It makes itself k nown after the damage is done. Those who have no interest in TB control are the very on es w ho are a menace t o society. It can only be through th e wholehearted effort of people from ever y n ation that TB can be over come and eradicated. In the United States there ar e an estimated 200,000 unknown c'a ses of t ub_erculosis. Alaska has a higher percentage of TB p er capita t han a nywhere in the world, except war famine countr ies.

Gilbert Savery, City Editor of Daily Journal, Discusses Characteristics of Newspaper Work "Knowing the English language backward and forward is a must in newspaper~ work," declared Gilbert Savery, city editor of the Journal, on being interviewed by a newswriting student from Lincoln high. "A good newswriter is one who has the ability to write and speak correct English, to spell correctly, who has accuracy in gathering facts, a good sense of news, and ability to type." Mr. Savery had no idea of going into newspaper work, but because there were hardly any·jobs available in 1940 when he graduated, and because he had not been offered a job by any of the many business firms he had written to, he applied at the business office of the Journal on an impulse. When he was told that there were no jobs open on that end of the paper, he applied to the city editor. The city editor asked him if he could type as fast as he · could think. Mr. Savery assured him that he could and returned the next day to take over his new position. He was first assigned to the police beat, which required going down to the police station

each morning at 7:30 and looking over the books to see if anything unusual had occurred during the night. Mr. Savery later covered such events as suicides, violent deaths and fires. "Speed is very important in newspaper work, also," stated Mr. Savery. "One must be able to work fast in order to meet the deadlines." "One of the difficulties which arise in newspaper work, is tryirig to obtain information from people when it affects them adversely," Mr. Savery revealed. "Another is being sure that you are not writing something that is libelous." Mr. Savery said that he would recommend newswriting to any young person interested in it as a career. "There will always be reporters and newswriters, because even if it might change its form, there will always be a newspaper," reasoned Mr. Savery. "People still have to see facts in black and white before they will believe them." In the future there will be facsimile reproduction, that is, the daily paper will ·come out of the
back of the radio. He said that if some big building would burn down in New York, one could turn on this television set and watch the building burn, and at the same time read the story of the fire from a paper which was being released . from the back of that same radio. When asked if he thought working on the Advocate was good experience, Mr. Savery replied, "I think it is fine experience, for it teaches all the good, basic principles of ·newspaper work." "I also think it is fine," he continued, "the way the newswriting classes are tied up with the Advocate. You learn the fundamentals of newswriting, and at the same time have a chance to use them by being able to submit some of the work to the Advocate." Mr. Savery was graduated from Lincoln high in 1936. He was a member of the camera club, ·w riters club and travel club. Strangely enough, he was not on the Advocate, nor did he take news writing,, He attended the University of Nebraska where he majored in economics, English and medical science.
l{arl Arndt Talks Orpheons Choose At D.E.A. Meeting Committee of Six Orpheons will present a talent assembly some time after Christmas and a committee of six, Helmute Sienknecht, chairman, is making plans for the assembly. Committee members are: Ruth Sorensen, Marilyn Harms, Doris Bonebright, Paul Johnston and Olive Gettman. Club members presenting numbers for the entertainment of the group were: Ruth Speer singing "Desert Song," accompanied by Barbara Ebright; John Hacker, at the piano, ·playing "Forth C / 1 Manzorch"; Doris Bonebright playing "Begin the Begine," on the saxophone, accompanied by Gwen McCormack; a trio composed of Dorothy Williams, Florence Rhodes and Gwen McCormack, singing "Sylvia," accompanied by Jacqueline Reinick; Eileen Derieg at the piano playing "Stardust" ; and Marjorie Reeve singing "Danny Boy," accompanied by Florence Rhodes.
Karl Arndt, professor of economics at the University of Nebraska, was the guest speaker for the D.E.A. meeting, held Tuesday, December 4. Mr. Arndt's discussion was on the O.P.A. He stated that the O.P.A. institution has two jobs, the chief function being to regulate prices, and its first job is rationing· goods. "Prices go up," he said, "because the government over-produces money." · During the war the government raised the manufacturing output of money from fifteen billion to twenty-three billion dollars in new money. "Before Pearl Harbor," Mr. Arndt · stated, "eleven billion dollars in paper and coins were in circulation. Now twenty·six billion dollars are in circulation." Another guest of the distributive education meeting was Mrs. Lucy Hustead, director of the better business bureau.

"Girls all over the world are ver y much the same in actions, ideals and feelings," stated Miss Elsie Rokahr·, guest speaker, at t he Gir l Reserves meeting of December 3. Her topic was a "A Girl in Mexico and Her Life." "Th ere are two groups of people, one, the stra ight Spanish and two, Mex ican Indians. They live a very happy life in general, the families being together most of the t ime," remark ed. "The outside appeara nce of the Spanish homes is somewhat dilapidat ed, but inside they are very beautiful. Each room opens into a patio, which is a garden and also the main room. The Indian d wellers, though poor er, have one or two rooms huts, furnished w ith stove and t able and t he child r en sleep on straw mats p laced on the floor. The huts are surprisingly clean," she added. The main meal of all classes is t he bean and they have various delicious ways of preparing them. Typically Mexican it the "Company Dish,'' which is baked turkey, chicken or goat meat.
Speaker 'Blue Butterfly' Her First Book Mrs. Arch Hutchinson, member of the Quill, was guest speaker at writers club last Monday, December 3. Mrs. Hutchinson told of having her first book published two years ago. A juvenile book entitled "Blue Butterfly," it was written as a "mirror" to show the true aspects of life in South America as a child would see them. "I wrote the book both for entertaimnent and education.

Lincoln Reserves opened their 1945 season by thrashing the Nebraska City seconds 39-14, Friday at Whittier. Center Don Hergert stole the show from his teammates, taking high honors with 14 points. The first quarter .saw green ball handling on the part of both teams and the little Links had a hard time taking an 8-6 lead at the end of the first period. The Reserves stretched the count the second frame and left the floor at the half on top of a 19-10 score. Coming out at the half, Charlie Worrall's boys had too much to offer for the Pioneer juniors. Losing their first half uneasiness, they pulled farther out in front, allowing the outsiders only 4 points the entire second half. Worrall used all the men in an effort to determine their ability under fire and plans to reduce the squad to the normal size for the remainder of the season. Be!erves.

were used as goals. Basketball was first played with seven men on a team, then nine, then eight, and now it is five. At first the game consisted of three periods, twenty minutes each. Now it is four periods of eight minutes. Goals from the field once counted three points, now count two. At one time three consecutive fouls counted a goal for the opponents. Basketball, the only major sport of American origin, has thus changed and has steadfastly increased in interest. It is now played in 75 countries by more than 20,000,000 players. It has also beeri estimated that more than a million girls also play the game. Dr. Naismith, inventor of the game, died several years ago,

Two Footballers Receive Honors
Lincoln high meets its first major hurdle in the 1945-46 cage season this week end when it tackles Omaha Central on Friday nigh~ and Grand Island on Sat• urday night, both games away. The Friday tussle against Cen• tral is expected to be a breather for the tough Saturday encounter. Central has played one game this year, against Elkhorn, whom it defeated 40-36. It has one returning letterman, Corey Wright, and one man back from the varsity squad, Bruce Rosen. Both of these boys are small, but make up for it fo fight. The rest of t he team is made up of last year's reserves and newcomers. Last year's tussle was a close low-scoring affair, with the lead changing hands t hroughout the game, the Links finally coming up with a 23-20 victory, At t h e half, Lincoln led 7-6 arid won t he game on a fourth period scoring spree, with Lebsock ending high point man for t he Links with nine point s. Grand Island, who meets its first opposition Frid~y night in the form of Central City, is graced with six lett ermen and four regulars back from last year's squad. It should prove one of the better squads in t he state, and a victory for Lineoln would put the t eam high in the sfate ratings, In last year's game, Lincoln romped to victory to the tune of 35-18 with Lebsock again high man wit h 19 counter.s. The remainder of t he Lincoln twenty-game schedule is as fol· lows:
By Don Bryant Centers. Heading the list of Coach Lyle Weyand's pivot men is Lanky six foot six inch Bob "Shorty" Pierce. Don Meyer and Jerry Beck are the other two tall boys that make up the center roster. Pierce was a member of the reserve squad last year where he didn't see too much action until late in the season. He is a . junior and promises .to be one of the main boys in this year's basketball machine. Meyers is six feet three and is also one of last year's reserves. He sa"!' plenty of action against Nebraska City and is slated to see a good deal of service; He is a senior. Beck a transfer from Omaha Central, played on the Eagle reserve last year. He is a senior and is six feet two inches tall.

Under the supervision of "Web" Emery, the n e w 1 y organized L.H.S. swimming squad began its practice after school Tuesday, December 4, in the boys pool. The squad for the 1945 swimming team is as follows: Clay Hutchings, Donald Alderman, Tom Harley, Carl Testhammer, Bill Gr.e er, Glen Simmons, John Roe, Dale Benzing, David Moomaw, Paul Mulder, Dick McCall, Bill Owen, Gene Breunau, John Gradwohl, Billy Eddy, Gordon Luckart, Dick Sharrar, Bob Stone, Jim Gleason,.

Lincoln high expects to resume competitive swimming after a lull of two years, because of the lack of competition. Lincoln's only competition back in '42 was a twomeet schedule with Fremont, owing to transportation difficulties. Bob Miller brought victory in the first meet with victories in the 100 yard breast stroke and 220 yard free style. In the second meet, Ed SchaUJllberg reduced the Fremont pool record for the 36 yard free style to give Lincoln a victory.

The rent alone would be $1,500 a month. "A central r ecreation hall downtown would be u sed as an excu se to get to town at night. However, it would be all right in a small town.

Also he interfered with his secretary's, Maggie ·c utler's, l ove affair with a j ournalist, Bert J efferson, played by Mary L ou Th ompson a nd Ted Gunder son, r espectively. J oan Williams, as Lorraine Sheldon, sustained t he charact er of t he. sophisticated actr ess from K arisas City. Roma J ohnson gave a dr amatic portrayal of Harriet Stanley, Mr. Stanley's slightly dement ed sister. Among the supporting cast were Robert Vanderslice a nd Cather ine Wor cester as Mr. and Mrs. Stanley ; Louise Loucks as Miss Pr enn, n ur se who cared for Sheridan Whiteside; Amos Jennings as Dr .

Results from Breaking ?f Atom Seen Atomic en ergy is being brought closer to L.H.S. students with t he coming of the S pinthariscope to the ph ysics depart ment. This tiny device enables one actu ally to ob• serve the effects of a single at om breaking loose from i ts par ent element. On e 1/ 28,000 ounce of radium would produce for hundreds of year s about 136,000,000 scintillations per second. Of course t he Spinthariscope at L.H .S. has o~.ly a trace of radium, b ut it shows plainly the action. This is n ot new in science, but is new at L .H.S. Also new in t he physics department is t he photo-elect ric r elay cell demonstrating set which by t he use of the electric eye causes light to turn things on and off, open d oors, and count people passing the eye. The finest addition to the department is a mot or-dr iven high vacuum pump which has inn umerable u ses. By t he use of the Brownian Movement apparatus, students may .observe the effects of bom• bardments of molecules. It s.h ows h ow the smok e par ticles are j ostled about when st ruck by moving, invisible molecules of air. A new kit h as been r eceived to aid in the study of polarized light. Buy Life Size Model. I n th e ph ysiology department a n ew high power oil immersion m icroscope h as been r eceived, This year the physiology depart m ent used most of it s equipm ent budget for t he purchasing of a new life size torso m odel of .a human bei.Ilg in which all . the vital organs are · removable. This model , which cost $225 .00, will be extremely valuable t o th e ph ysi• ology classes and may be used in th e biology classes. The old . full length model of "Josephine" is going to h ave her face lifted and some missing ·parts r eplaced. An• other aid to the biology students will be a n ew binocula r wide :field micr.oscope. Other new additions are a . t hermostat m odel and a car bon rheostat which c 0 n tr 0 1 s the amount of the flow of electr icity. J. D. Young, h ead of the science department, said t hat even though t he war is over , supplies have been difficult to get, but he h op es to procure m or e new devices in the futur e. During t he war , the department order ed only t hose things which w ere needed in t he regular work and by economizing the depar tment was able to1 make some materials last through the war .
Presents Discussed By Hygiene Class What t o buy moth er, father , girls and boys for Christmas pres ents was t he theme of Miss Ethel Murray's fourth period hygiene class Monday, December 10• Girls are the easiest to buy for , the class decided. Most of them would appreciate a ny kind of clothing, jewelry or cosmetics. Buying for boys is a different m atter and n eeds a little careful study depending upon whether he is in service or not. Mother should receive a personal present, not just something for the house by which everyone benefits. 4
Dr. Schroeder Stresses Knowledge Of Languages for Broadened Outlook

"Working k nowled ge of several languages is essential for broadening one's viewpoint and living a successful life," Dr . Martin Schr oeder , Lutheran pastor, said in an int erview I'ecently. " It dep ends on the student what language h e t akes in high school, since they are all impor tant," he declared. Dr. Schroeder, who speaks Fr ench, Ger man and English fluently, .r eceived his degr ee at the University of Nebraska. H e also attended Midland college iri Fremont, Nebraska. Believing that Lincoln h a s many opportunities for educat ional an d spiritual development, Dr. Schroeder t hinks that t he returning 'veterans will have no trouble finding employment. "Many veterans have alr eady returned and still ther e ar e positions open," he said. When asked what fact or might
stand in a young man's way in preparing for the ministry, Dr. Schroeder said not hing, once a young man has "decided to enter the ministr y, there is nothing to hinder him except, possibly, his family." "The family often thinks that with the same amount of education th e young man co.uld be a doctor or lawyer and ther efore earn m ore money." Dr. Sch roeder has traveled in England, F r ance, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany a nd most of the other European count ries. He says England would pr obably appeal more t o Americans because a lot of our customs a nd history come from there . Dr. Schroeder stated in conclusion that the Lut hera n Church is now actively engaged in sending r elief to the war t orn countries and will continue to do so till the need is over.

Lockers in Locker Rooms Too Crowded is Complaint Those poor unfortunates who have lock~ ers in the locker rooms should feel justified in drawing up a petition. Perhaps some don't mind the feeling of being freshly steam rolled, but many students do. Many have to catch a bus, some must get to work, and it isn't the most amusing thing to stand and wait for the crowd to thin. Aisles between the rows of lockers are 39 inches wide. When the locker door is open there is a passage way of 28 inches and when opposite locker doors are open there just isn't a passageway. A rotund, jolly character nonchalantly waltzes in after her coat. After a few eternities she drags her scrawny, weary body out into the fresh air in hopes it would. revive her. The only solution seems to be to knock out the walls or return all books to teachers.
Christmas Season Is Here Bringing New Perspective The Christmas season is here. Stores are gaudy '.!vith fanciful decorations made from evergreen, tinsel,: ribqons and gaiety. Fir trees are lying in long fragrant rows, wait_. ing to attired in sarkling glory for a little while. · Christmas carols are brought forth once :again and somehow they seem to glow brighter than before. The year has not, as :we secretly feared a little, taken the shine from them. No, they grow old beautifully, as does a jewel of solid gold or someone we love. Christmas gives man, that queer little guy, a. chance to be unashamedly soft-hearted and sentimental, the way he would like to be all the time. At this time of the year he looks throu gh a pair of glasses that are tinted and ground differently from his other ordinary ones. The perspective is different and more accurate. Little annoying things become too small to be seen, and three destructive ism's vanish along with them; skepticism, cynicism and pessimism.
Classics Can Be Pleasant; Longhairs May Have Haircut "Aw, we don't wanna go t o that dam bake, it's strictly long-hair" is the comment often h eard coming from high school students of Lincoln. The majority also believe anyone interested in classical music is strictly a "green character." This attitude seems to spring from the early schooling of the students. Teachers in grade schools seem to think it their duty to teach children something of classics instead of making it a pleasant exper ience for both pupils and the teacher. This probably comes from lack of understanding on the teacher's part, or else she thinks children would be unable to understan d fine music. · One r em edy for this situa tion is reading the story of composer 's lives or t h eir works. Books are being published on these subjects every day and you will find some as interesting if not more so t h an the so-called 1 'best-sellers" so plentiful on the market.
L.H.S. Students Should Promote Friendship Week Since Lincoln high school has the largest enrollment of any school in Lincoln, it would seem that a Friendship Week were in order. Naturally t his does not mean that Lincoln high is a snobbish school, but m eans that initiative should be taken in our friendliness. One week a sem ester could be set aside to meet new friends and to renew old acquaintances. An assembly spons ored by all the students committees in the school would tell of t he activities or "things doing" in Lincoln. A short entertainm ent would follow. Friendship cards, perhaps made in the print s hop, . would enable students to make new friends by having fellow students sign these cards . This h as been done in other schools- for example, North high school in Des Moines, Iowa. The faculty of the school backs this program wholeheartedly - believing that friendship is one of the first steps in proJl10ting democracy. A cheerful " hello" and a friendly smile leave the receiver with a warm happy feeling.

Cramming · for That Final E~amination May Include Listening to Radio and Helping Cop BY BOWARD DOERR Have you ever· crammed for a test? Have · you ever studied for a test? Have you ever passed a test? Neither have I. The day before · the big exam, the room is quiet, the inmates are sad, the warden· is anxious to write out the little yellow · slips. She asks for any questions. My but her students are smart, no one asks a question. They're scared stiff to open their mouths, lest what little knowledge they have of the class work escape. The bell rings, ending the day's work at school. I trudge my way home, wondering whether I will get to see any more senior color days as a student. After nibbling my way through dinner, I begin the task of studying for that final. I make myself comfortable, close the door, turn on the radio to a mystery thriller, and proceed with the task that confronts me. Page by page I leaf my way through the book, noticing the pictures and witty sayings of by-

Who killed Agnas Swabauer, and made good his escape? I'm sure I know, but do they ask me? No, they don't. What's that I hear at the door? "Why, come in, Mother." Off goes the radio, a stern look and out goes mom. I picked up the book containing the rare collections of ideas for better learning made by professors who knew all the time that they would be socially condemned by the forced readers. My but 300 pages are a lot to· read, and no pictures either. Maybe if I read the headings of the separate chapters, I could guess the rest, but no, I remember the 6 I got in history last semester. when trying that procedure. A good night's rest will help, but t he least I can do is r ead through the book. Now on what dat e was the Armistice signed?

Oh, I almost forgot, I must call someone for a date for Sat urday. T h a t telephone comrersation took a long time. It's nearly 9 o'clock and I still have English and algebra to do. I've decided t o spend thirty more minutes on this subject. Only 63 names, 42 dat es, and 21 famous sayings to remember. That won't be hard. I'll associate them with t hings in my life. As my life has not been t oo lengthy, this will not prove satisfactory. If only I had started learning six weeks ago. J ust what will she ask us? There are fourteen chapters and she will pick fifty questions from them. Personally, the odds are against us. She could scatter them throughout the whole book and .I'd still miss them.

Lt.Nelson Speaks To Senior Boys On V-5 Program Lieutenant Nelson from Kansas City spoke to the January senior 'boys about V-5, naval aviation, in 326 Friday morning. In his first statement he said that V-5 one a peacetime basis was not anything to rush into unless the person had a .genuine interest in aviation. He then told the boys the requirements to enter this program, which are as follows: If 17 or 18 a boy must have a high school education and· if 19, you must have at least one semester of college. He must have 20-20 vision and normal depth and color perception. His weight must be between 115 and 200 pounds and he cannot be shorter than 5 feet 6 inches or taller than 6 feet 4 inches. To qualify he must also pass a stiff mental and physical test. Anyone selected will report to a college. The November class from K.C. went to Colgate and Cornell. The candidate goes to college up to 16 months and gains two years college credit. After he finishes college he is sent to preflight school for 3-4 months and then to, flight training. The course takes approximately 28 months. Graduates are commissioned as ensigns in the Navy or second lieutenants in the Marines. "After graduation you will have had a $27 ,000 education," he said. If a person should "wash out" he will drop to apprentice seaman
and will then be under the selec-0tive service act. He warned not to go into the course with the idea that after the tests the rest is easy.

Double Triumph Over W eel~end Drop G.I. by 35 to 26; Sink Central 44 to 16 Lincoln high added two more Wins to its victory string last weekend by thumping Omaha Central 44 to 16, and downing Grand Island by a 35 to 26 count on the opponent's floors. Scoring was evenly divided between the Links starters and the defensive work was unbeatable. The Central high game proved to be a breather, as Bob Pierce and Jack Deffenbaugh kept control of the rebounds and fed the ball to their team mates who did most of the scoring. Lincoln was never headed from the time of the Clpening gun, as it walked into a 10 to 2 quarter lead, and furthered it to 20 to 6 at halftime. The substitutes were used freely, yet Lincoln kept right on rolling into a 32 to 9 third quarter lead and a 44 to 16 victory. High scorer for that night was Grady, with 14 points.

Grand Island, one of the better squads in the state, proved little trouble as it fell after trailing the entire game. Lincoln again substituted rather freely in the last half. After the score was knotted at three-all early in the first quarter, Lincoln, led by baskets by Bergquist and Mariscal pulled into a 7 to 3 lead. Bergquist also led the second-quarter attack with six points, and gave Lincoln a 17 to 10 margin at the half, It was the same story in the last half, as Berquist registered five more points before fouling out midway in the last stanza.

BY KNOX JONES. The Links hit their early season stride over the weekend as they took the measure of · the Omaha Central Eagles and the Grand Islanders by impressive scores. On Friday afternoon Coach Weyand's hoopsters traveled to the big city where they met and whipped Central 44-16. The game gave the metrdpolitan sports writers their first look at the 1945 edition of the Lincoln team and the boys made a deep impression. Duane Grady was high man with 14. points, while Deffenbaugh and Pierce turned in good floor games. Other Friday scores found: Lexington 50, Cozad 16. Scottsbluff 32, Bayard 20. College View 32, Wilbur 29. Sioux City East 55, Ab1·aham Lincoln 47. Creighton Prep 37, Norfolk 2~. Omaha North 25, Omaha Benson 24. On Saturday night the squad breezed to the third city where it trounced the Islanders 35-26. Al Bergquist led the Lincoln assault with 13 counters. This proved the Links all-around power, as the highly touted Islanders were graced with four returning regulars. Early Missouri Valley conference games. show Lincoln and Sioux Cay East tied for the league leadership with one victory each. The two Sioux' City teams, Abraham Lincoln, and Tech, stand out as tough teams to beat for the capitol city crew. STANDINGS. w ltpop Lincoln .. , , •••••• , . . 1 O 44 16 S. C.

BY DON BRYANT. Forwards. Forwards for this year's Lincoln basketball club are a well rounded group, combining both height and versatility to form a potent scoring punch as well as a tight defense. The number one corner men this year are 6' 3" Jack Deffenbaugh and Rich Mariscal, who stands 5' 11" tall. Deffenbaugh, who is a letterman and saw service last year as a center, has an eye for the set shots that have made him a consistent scorer. He is a senior and is also a football and track letterman. Mariscal was high point man on last year's reserve squad and this year he is a.gain swishing the onehanders from the side. Rich is also outstanding on 'defense. He is a senior and a football letterman. Randall Renken was the number two scorer for the reserves last year and has been hitting regular so far this season. He is slated for a good deal of action and will be c.ounted on heavily by Coach Weyand. He is a senior. Dick Means, a transfer from Beloit, Wisconsin, is a scrappy ball handler and is dead on his shots. He should see plenty of service. The other forward is Ed Donegan, who is a letterman, and will add experience to the squad. He is a senior and a football and track letterman.

Do people appreciate athletics? Is an athlete according to you, just a bundle of muscle and endurance or do you really appreciate the skill, co-ordination, agility and preserverance usually required? The football player, for instance, doesn't play football
Sophomores Start Practice Although it has not scheduled any regular games as yet, the sophomore basketball squad is working out nightly in the boys gymnasium under the tutorage of Coach Max Pumphrey, Twelve boys are trying for positions on the squad, which practises from about 4:30 to 5:30 every night. They have scrimmaged some of the after-school teams in prepararat ion for their season, which Coach Pumphrey hopes will begin in the near future. The boys picked for the team were chosen from the outstanding sophomore talent in the afterschool tournament. They are as follows :

because he is skilled along that line. He has been d,rilled for football, and practically lives for the game weeks before the season starts. He has exercised, he has run through plays, he has missed certain things, and he has converted his entire body into a football machine for the purpose of playing a good game. And there are" fruits to be gathered as a ;result of his toil. No one will deny that an athlete has cer~ain advantages in any high school. Maybe it is right and maybe it is wrong, but it is definitely something that has been earned by bod· ily and mental labor.

The Lincoln Links pulled off a last quarter rally to down the fighting Scottsbluff Bearcats 28-20 in a rough and tumble basketball game on the University of Nebraska floor Tuesday night. With the score knotted at 17 all at the end of the third stanza the Links held the "Cats" to three points in a hectic final period while coilecting 11 themselves. The game got off to a slow start with ·the Bluffs crew leading 6-4 as the first quarter ended. The capital city crew got back into the game by means of two quick counters by Pierce, plus a free throw and a long set shot by Bergquist as the gun ending the half sounded. The home town squad played bett er ball in the second half with Pierce and Deffenbaugh controling most of the rebounds and getting plenty of help from Grady and Bergquist. Summary:

Sgt. Howard Ramel, former Lincoln high student, was discharged December 1 at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, from the U. S. Army. He went into the army in April, 1942 and spent two years overseas with the Army engineers. S 2/c Derald Drbal is now on the Natoma Bay boat and has been in Pearl Harbor, in the Hawaiian Islands and at Manila bay and Subic bay in the Philippines within the last month. "The boat has picked up 1,150 men in different harbors and is now on its way to the States," Derald writes. "The boat has its own band and movie screen showing the same pictures several times for entertainment."
Choir Will Sing at Irving This Morning Singing this morning at Irving junior high school is the Lincoln high school choir. The songs to be presented at this program are the same which will be sung for the Vesper concert Sunday afternoon and the Christmas assembly Friday here at school with the exception of "Silent Night." The choir is under the direction of Mr. Hugh Rangeler.

Potsy Clark, Former Husker Football , Coach, Sees Bright Future · for Team
Because the same boys will still be playing in 1948, George "Patsy" Clark, who was head football coach of the University of Nebraska during the last season, expects a great future for the Cornhuskers. "I look forward with much hope to the future university football teams," stated Mr. Clark before leaving for his home. "Experience is the medicine these boys lacked," he said, "and they acquired much this past season." Building a squad with only three returned lettermen, Bunker, Lorenz and Gradoville, was the task of Mr. Clark. The rest of the boys were mostly first year men and one boy was only sixteen years old, while nineteen had reached seventeen. The oldest man on the squad was 26 and most of the boys were around 21. "Returned veterans or 'G.I.'s', as they are called at the university, . as yet do not play an important part on the football team,'' said Mr. Clark. "They want mostly to rest after leaving the service." One meal a day is eaten at the training table, according to a "Big Six" ruling. "The reason for this," said Mr. Clark, "is to insure good, substantial, hot food of good quality for at least one of the three meals during the day. The supper meal is chosen in order to fill the stomach after a hard practice. Many boys might otherwise go home to a cold, poorly prepared supper." Trips to all out of town games are made by train, and the team is restricted to regular bedtime hours ·on these trips. To spend the time the boys play cards, study, read and otherwise amuse themselves. They are given a chance to sleep in a hotel. . "The best of everything is given ~em," Mr. Clark said. "It gives
the boys an opportunity also to see what other students elsewhere are doing." On these trips the team manager is taken along, but t he cheerleaders a re required to pay their own expenses. "A running game is definitely the most essential team offense," said Mr. Clark, "but along with passing, the combination is much more effective. Passing is only secondary," he concluded. Mr. Clark went to school in Illinois where he later went back to lead his alma mat er by coaching. He spent two years and three months as a private in World War I, where he was a member of the champion American Expeditionary Force football and baseball teams. He has coached at Butler university, in Indiana; and at the Universities of Kansas, Minnesota and Illinois. He was assistant principal, in addition _to coaching, at Grand Rapids university, in Iowa. When war again broke out, Mr. Clark offered his services, thiS time to t he Navy, Air and Submarine forces. Later he coached two pro teams, one " at Brooklyn and the other, the · Portsmouth Spartans, of 'Portsmouth, Ohio, which became the Detroit "Lions" when moved to Detroit, Michigan.
BY JUNE FISHER. With many and varied gifts chucked in a barrel, members of G. A. A. had a very good time at their party December 12, according to Miss Lillian Story. Chocolate cupcakes and dixie cups. furnished the refreshments. Girls winning their rhythmic dancing emblems were Doris Gillet, Norma Hawkins, Phyllis Lewis and Margaret Zinsmaster. Tap dancing emblems went to Pat Bul'ke, Arline Gohde, Norma Hawkins, Mary Ann Day, Patricia McKay and Doris Bonebright. Tests for endurance and speed are now being given t o all girls in swimming and floor work classes. ~rom the results, an average will be made of what Lincoln high girls are capable of d oing. Before the tests are given the girls are allowed t o practice. Then the record is made. Most girls agree that these tests are just as hard as they look. We don't want you to have huge big muscles, only "strong pliable ones" said Miss Story. She illustrated the fact by telling the girls about a flood in which a girl was swept downstream finally clinging to a fallen tree with only the strength in' her arms to support her for half a day and night. Thursday and F riday all gym classes will have their Christmas program. This is the one day in the year that girls may play chop sticks to their hearts' content. All the other 364 days it is definitely forbidden. To a dd to the merriment there will even be a contest for Chopstieclse. The winner will be chosen by p opular applause.
Peppers Nominate Officers at Meeting Nominations w ere made for officers of next semester dur ing the Pepper meeting, December 15. The nine girls nominated were Marian Battey, J oan Butler, Hazelle House, Rosemary Kimball, Marge Leese, Mary Helen Mallory, Janice Ryman, Shirley Seright, and Kathryn Sw anson. The president appointed Francis Wallace as historian to fill the Peppers scr apbook. The officers will be voted on at the next meeting in January.
Attempt to Sink Hastings, York, Omaha South F or most pupils the next few weeks means vacation, but to the boys on the basketball team it means three hard tussles with Hastings a~ Hastings on January 4, Omaha South also away .on January 8 and York here on J anuary 11. Not much is known about the Hastings team except that it dropped Sutton by a count of 35-10, which indicates that it will be somewhat of a hurdle in the Lincoln pat h. Last year Hastings surpr~sed everyone and put up quite a battle before falling to the Links 25-21. Bob Olmst ead led the Lin• coln team with seven point s. South Has Veterans Omaha South, wit h one the bet· ter squads in the state, will be the Links' second headache. The Packers h ave won an easy 36-14 game over a weak Plattsmouth five. Leading the South high boys are Bud Yambor, Bob All and Bob Rodgers. Both Yambor a nd All are r egulars from last year's team which dropped the Links from the Missouri Valley race by a one p oint ov ertime victory, t he score being 25-24. Bob All was t he whole S outh offensive with fourteen points. L eading Lincoln with some beautiful defensive play was Bill Browne and Boney Hoffman, while Lebsack led the t eam offensively with twelve points. York Defeated Last Year York appears to be a pushover for the mighty Lincoln five, according to the past York showings for the Lincoln team who played its opener by Sew ard by a huge i:nar• gin. L ast year it was easy meat for the Lincoln team, who played reserves most of the game to win handily 45-25. Lebsack and Olmstead were high men with t en points apiece.

Hostile Germ Strikes A.t All L.H.S. Students Man's ever active, ever hostile enemy, the germ, stalks the halls of L. H. S. He waits to strike his unsuspecting enemy at any unguarded moment. He hides in crac~s, in waste baskets, in desks, pens, pencils, books, and numerous other articles handled by students and faculty members every day. · Candy wrappers, torn papers, seed shells, gum, discarded notebooks, lunches, crumpled Advocates, dirty combs, and other articles too numerous to mention litter the school. The principal, the teachers, the custodians, and numerous articles in· the Advocate have urged pupils to deposit such articles in containers placed at the end of each corridor. But it seems that their efforts have been wasted. It is up to the student to safeguard the health of his fellow students. No one wants to come it?- contact with anything that might prove serious. So therefore it is urged that each and every studei;t, for the sake of good health, safeguard his health and others by keeping the desks, rooms, floors, the whole school, clean.
Request is Made For Students to Stay Away High school pupils are lucky at the end of th~ semester because they have more vacat10n days than any other schools in Lincoln. And as you know, high school students like to go back to their junior high and grade school halls in which they once roamed. You aso know that the students in these schools jump at every little disturbance even more than high-schoolers do. For this reason, high school students are urgently requested to stay away from these schools. If this request is not carried out, high schoolers may have their vacation taken away from them. Now, we all love these vacations, so let's abide by the school board's request.

Living in Democracy is More than Just Living
The word freedom, by itself, doesn't have a.ny meaning. It is always freedom from some particular thing or freedom to do something that we want to do. The word freedom, like many other words has a meaning only in relation to humans in actual situations. Every person is dependent upon his neighbor for freedom. If your neighbor shows no self restraint you have no freedom. Freedom means nothing if we think of it as a way to achieve our own means. Freedom in a democracy is a special kind of freedom. Democratic freedom is not only the right to make choices, but includes the right of every man to help decide what choices shall be possible. We take our freedom for granted. The only time we think of it is when someone is trying to take it away. Freedom and thinking go hand in hand. The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy everyone is entitled to think, and in a dictatorship only a few have the right to think. .

Fritz Wagener Relates His Views on. National Problems and Schools Since his recent return from Washington, D. C., Fritz Wagener, attorney, has given some of his views on the national problems facing our country, on schools in the east as compared with schools in the west, and on some of his experiences in Washington. When asked his views on military training, Mr. Wagener said, "When and if military training is determined to be an actual need, it should be made compulsory." "Surplus war m a t e r i a 1 s in Europe should pass through regular trade channels. First opportunity to obtain these materials should be given to returned veterans who could use these materials to set themselves up in business. This would be the only fair way to dispose of these surplus materials," asserted Mr. Wagener. "Some of the problems concerning Washington should be handled in this way," he stated. "Taxes should be reduced ·in all brackets. You can do this by rigid economy and you will thus develop private enterprise, individual initiative and encourage capital which is so necessary for full employment. "Congress should be reorganized. In congress there is too much overlapping of committee

day, December 21. Most of the 'forty-nine paintings are done in watercolor although the dry brush technique and colored pencils are experimented with. Demonstrating on the way in which he began a water color work, Mr. Wilmeth explained, "You first draw a few lines on the paper with a pencil to get the central position. The rest of the picture is then drawn i~ entirely with the brush. If you. ~ere to draw the whole picture and then paint it, you would not be painting, only filling in." Hal then went on to give a short biographical sketch of his life since he graduated from Miss Wilson's art classes and Lincoln high school. "I went to the art school in Kansas City for four years," he said. "About that time I was called into the army and was assigned to tpe 15th Airforce." He was sent to Italy and given the assignment of teaching art to G. I.'s at the University Study Center located in Florence, Italy. The only time he found time to paint w as on his "days off." · . Commenting on army living quarters, he said that the soldiers lived in grass huts. A painting illustrating a typical G. I. hut showed clothes hanging around and mosquito netting wherever it was needed. He went on to explain about the water supply of the Italian people. There are large fountains and pumps from which the people obtain their water.

"They Sent Me to Iceland," by Jane Goodell is the story of the first .American Red Cross woman to be sent overseas to supply the armed forces with recreation. On December 12, 1941, a group of eleven women sailed to Iceland on a troopship loaded heavily with soldiers. They arrived in Reykjavik, Iceland and immediately began to make furniture out of packing boxes for their new quonset huts. Jane first of all was assigned to hosiptal duty as a recreation worker. Many of the men referred to her as "an angel of Mercy." It was in this hosiptal that Jane saw much heartbreak caused mostly by letters ~rom home which contained poison for morale. The Red Cross's first recreation center was in a hut, Which was too small and later became a theater. Jane and her friend, Mary, made many visits to different camps offering entertainment and giving each service man a chance to show his talent. The next recreation center was a schoolhouse o!fered to the Red
Cross by the Iceland fathers. It had only six rooms and could serve only for a cup of coffee and relaxation. Such characters as "Boogie Woogie," the "Boom tee, Boom tee" soldier were never forgotten at the center. Also "Duke-the-Doc," who persisted in using his first aid kit on Jane and Mary, and Crawford who always phoned in to say, "I'll be home befo' Christmas," only he never did get there. The British Officers' club became the new American Red Cross Center and, though crowded it served as a good place for dancing and a place for the boys to spend Christmas and New Years. After nine months of service, the American Red Cross groups returned to the United States, where there were "trees!" and a kind of weather that one could depend upon. The weather of Iceland was described in this comment. "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute. .R educe the minute to a second, iidd extreme violence to each Chi!pge, and you'll have the weathe;. o' Iceland.''

If a person can fill out an employment blank, with all the spelling correct, and all the information complete, then E. E. Beck, personnel director at a large local department store, knows that that person can fill out a sales sli'p. The application blank is a test to see what type of person is applying. "And if there were lines of people waiting to be employed by us, I would probably turn down many because of the way they fill out an application blank and the impression that I r eceive when they apply," stated Mr. Beck. The sales person should have a personality that is pleasing to the customer. She does not need to be pretty, but she should be in telligent and she should have ~ real desire to be helpful. "There is no difference among the blondes, or red-heads, or the brunettes," joked Mr. Beck, "and," he added sternly, "there is certainly no difference between nationalities. All types of clerks .are needed and wanted. The applicant's education should be complete to the high school or above, although many school folks under

the age of sixteen are employed with a work permit accompanying the application blank. The applicant should write reasonably well and should be able to do simpie m athematics." Mr. Beck would like it much better if the future sales person were to be trained in the store, according to the store's regulations. The person is not hired just because she has had previous experience in another department store. "The retail field would be excellent for young people to consider for their future/' continued Mr. Beck . "They might go into sales work, which could continue until they become a buyer for their department or head buyer for the entire store. Advertising is a very good field for those who a re artistically inclined. Also, for those who are interested in art, there is the interior and exterior decorating which would include w indow decorating or display. Those who h ave a k nack for drawing dress designs could go into the costume design department of a large store which has costume-made clothes ' for women." Mr. Beck was first an accountant in a large office in Chicago. He had no thought of ev er becoming a personnel director of a large depar tment store even though that was his ambition. Now he has been in Lincoln for a lmost 21;2 years and h as employed, on the average, 25 or 30 persons a month. Around Christmas time in the past years, his office force h as h ired as many as 100 persons to wor k in the va rious departments of the store.

For this weeks baby pictures, we have the little lady who is standing so sweetly and who really wouldn't be such a mystery if she had slacks on and holding a bask etball. Maybe when she was a little child she was still a "Good Sport." She also teaches first aid. The little girl sitting down
looks as if she was in her new party dress, possibly made by her mother. Nowadays she probably makes her own party dresses, for that's what she is most interested in. Last issue, the little girl standing in the sprinkler getting cooled off was Elizabeth Grone, and the ,little girl with the pretty big eyes was Margaret Davis.

Can the Boys' Pep club be a success in Lincoln high? This question has been asked repeatedly since the beginning of the new organization early this semester.· Many different answers have been ventured. The proof ·that. an organization of this kind can thrive was given ample boosting at last year's state basketball t6urnament w hen Creighton Prep fielded a championship all-boys cheering section as well as a championship basketball team. If Prep can do it why can't Lincoln? Many smaller towns have mixed clubs with boys and girls participating; however, Lincoln high is big enough to support both a boys' and a girls; section. An outfit of this kind, however, can not be a success unless it has the support and backing of all lettermen and a great number of the male students in the school~ During football season the outdoor cheering did not have the effect that the echo cheering of an indoor building does. Therefore all boys are urged to see Mr. Manthy or Mr. Cavat about joining the club.

Study Made To Improve The Schools All Committees To Work Year To take stock in an unbiased way of the present status of the Lincoln schools and their needs, and to · develop a practical program for maintaining them on high plane during the coming five t o ten years is the purpose of the co- op erative study nmv l:>eing car• ried on by the Lincoln public schools. Committees have all been chosen and are now working. They will work a full calendar year on this study. At intervals Dr; Clyde M. Hill and Dr. Samuel Brownell of Yale university, directors of the study, will visit the city to check on the work done. Working directly under Dr. H. Leigh Baker, resident director, are two committees, the professional consultants and local advisory. The local advisory committee comprises Mrs. ltoscoe Hill, chairman of survey; M. C. Lefler, superintendent; Miss Fern Hubbard, supervisor of distributive education; three classr oom t eachers, Miss _Elizabet h Elmen, Miss Alice Updegraft and Miss Josephine Wible; t hree laymen, Mrs. James Seller s, Kenneth Lewis and Earl Luff. The functions of this committee are to provide generai over-all advisory service; det ermine direction and policy; assist directors and check progress. Fa.ct-Collecting By Committee. The committee mainly in charge of the survey is called the f actcollecting steering committee. Dr. Baker , P aul Sell, Mr s. Clifford Hicks and R. H. Park make up this committ ee. In a letter sent to Mrs. Hill, chairman of the survey, Dr. Hill stat ed that the survey should study these differ ent phases: (a ) The administration of the schools (work of the board of education, superintendents and central administr ative staff); (b) The iri• structional progr am (elementary and seconda ry school curriculum s and procedure) ; (c) P upil organization and progress; ( d ) School personn el (teacher, clerical a nd custodial salaries, evaluation, policies and practices) ; (e ) Financing and busin ess procedures of the schools; ( f) Physical plant (condition, operation, maintenance, future n eeds) ; (g ) Special fields, such as adult education, vocational education, health education, guidance, and other special fields w hich need par ticular attention and which can b e studied within the time limits and finan cial r esources ($20,000) provided for the study. Fina.I Reports Conclusive.• A committee of several_ members has been appointed t o cover each of the things st ated in Dr. Hill's lett er.

These are the days when the Links boar d wants all students who have cameras to bring them to school to take pictures for this year's annual.

Polls Predict Answers To Future Gover11ment Did you, as a high school student, ever realize that you could voice an opinion on the "up-to-the-minute" news? The Scholastic magazines have made such a feat possible by setting up an Institute of Student Opinion through which the United States could know of the thoughts and influences of the future generation. Each month the Scholastic magazine sends a poll of three questions to Lincoln high and to its other membership schools. For the convenience of the pupils in this school, a copy is printed on the front page of the Advocate. The rest is then up to the. student. He is asked only to clip the poll from the paper, check his answers and send ' it to the Advocate office. If we are to be the future leader.;; of this great country, what type of government will we have? Will ours be a government idealized by many nations, or will it be the type that iS run governed by distinterested citizens? Student opinion polls can help predict the answer to this question by the r esults of your action"' alon-::. When the poll is printed next week, shew that you are an active citizen and not a "bystander.''

Rem.ember Mute Questions And Prevent Future War Four years ago questions were flying around like mad, questions t rying to fix the blame. "Why didn't they do something to prevent this war?" asked the tiny woman with the carefully waved hair and the business man with the spreading waist line. "Why do our boys have to go across to fight a war that could have been avoided?" But for what does the mysterious pronoun stand? Why didn't who do something? · There was a question in the eyes of the new soldiers too, as they marched away; a merciless, relentless question. "Why didn't you do something," asked the eyes of the young soldier, "to keep us out of this mess?" They me;:i.ns the government, and the government means you. It's a fair question and deserves an answer. "How about you, madam? Yes, you. Even though the question isn't spoken, you can't escape it. Didn't you ask just a few minutes ago why something wasn't done? Were you too busy seeing that the grandson kept himself clean, his hair brushed, ar.d his hands spotless to care how dirty the world got itself? Too busy with personal concerns to bother about some far-away nuts who were amusing themselves trying to m ake a chain stl:ong enough to tie the world? "And you, sir, what were you· doing that was more import.ant than killing this thing in its infancy? You say you were engrossed in building a sound business for your son, so that he wouldn't be in financial danger? A laudable aim, but couldn't you have spared a little time and used a little foresight to stop the danger that's with him now? What could one person have done, you ask? You and a hundred million others. That isn't such a bad alibi, but would it provide a soldier with a good excuse for shirking his duty in the army? The army is made up of individuals, and so is the nation.'' So did the soldiers question mutely four year s ago. Now that it's over, the questions are likely to be forgotten, but should they be? Perhaps r emembering would make .us more vigilant, and would remind us that no sacrifice, no effort is too great, to keep a soldier's eyes from asking those questions of us in the future. Freedom and t hinking go hand in hand. The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy everyone is entitled to think, and in a dictatorship only a few have t he right to think. To live in a democratic country requires more than just to stay t here ; no one r eally lives in a country unless he takes part in all acts of the country and community. No one can do this without thinking. Democracy cannot s urvive unless men can and will use thinking to dir ect their acts.

-Time, Expense and;Labor of Puppet Maki_ng Told by Miss Marjorie Shana/elt, U. of N. "My puppets are all like a family," stated Miss Marjorie Shanafelt, assistant to the director of the University of Nebraska museum and a puppeteer by hobby. "You like each one for his own sake and you like them all for all their sakes." "Out of a possible 250 puppets whkh I have made, I have, at the present time, a total of 175. When I make a better one, I destroy the old one. A puppeteer is supposed · to ma)!;:e his own and he is not a real puppeteer unless he can." The detailed description of m aking a puppet is impossible to explain, asserted Miss Shanafelt. After a model of Clay is made, the designer makes a plaster mold. Then the plastic wood, from ,which the figure is formed, is put into the mold. When the molded figure is taken out, there are still months of work ahead before the puppet can be called a finished product. Sometim es it will require at least a week to work on just one knee joint. It will often take a year to make a puppet. About five dollars worth of plastic wood goes into the making of a marionette. Therefore, the total cost of a pu ppet can ran ge anywhere from ten dollars to one hundred dollars, exclusive of labor. A well-made puppet can l ast t en to fifteen years, although .a dan cer ..v'.-·il!. break its k~cc j oi~ts more quickly than will a marionette of a l ess active type. "When I first became interested in puppets fifteen years ago," she pointed out, "no one· did puppetry and I had to l earn it all myself. I was one of the first persons to present this form of entertainment in this colintry and I am now a charter member of the 'Puppeteers of America,' a national club. "Last season, my two a ssistants and I presented about 45 shows for the servicemen a t the U.S.0.," Miss Shanafelt declared. "All of
our shows are specialties. This year, every puppet is a 'trick' puppet which simply means tha.t they are used in unusual puppet shows whose secrets have been handed down from one generation to another in Europe.· These shows that I am giving are my solution of · those trick puppets. I have worked out my own way to g~t the effect and the shows are probably the same as the originvls. "As far as I know, somi,: of these performances h ave ,·never been given b efore In thi~ part of the hemisphere. An ex],\~mse of $250 is involved in getti:itg t he show ready and to get the ·needed marionettes made." She and her two ao;sistants are doing one performance. every other week at the U.S.O. "Th at is all we can manage this yeH. We u se puppets 32 inches tall c.'..dled floor show puppets and manipulate them in full view of the audience without the aid of a stage. "If you wish to be a p uppeteer, you must be a combination of carpenter , electrician, artist, painter, dressmaker and writer, j ust t o mention a few. There are very few good performers in this country. A lot of people 'dabble' at them but their puppe ts are dreadful things. "You must also have a flexible voice and be able to impersonate many characters during the course of one play, You must have an appreciation coupled wi th the p atience of Job. P lays sh ould be original in or der to eliminate big royalties. A fairly good knowledge of the art of dancing will aid you greatly. Manipulation of the strings of the purpets" is mor~ of

Speal\.:er Tells -Of Advertising Miller-Paine Expert Instructs D.E.A. In Five Fields Miss Anne· Speaker, of the advertising department of Miller & Paine, spoke at the distr ibutive education association meeting, Friday, January 25. She gave her talk in an informal manner. Of the five large fields of advertising-department stores, specialty shops, advertising agencies, magazine, radio and newspaper-Miss Speaker has chosen department store advertising. She told the students that in advertising ther e are thr ee depar tments; ·advertisement writing, art work and business management. Miss Sp-eaker is in the advertisement writing section, but she must have a wide enough knowledge of art to make corrections in the advertising lay-outs. Compensation in the beginning is small in advertising, but, if one is talented and willing to work, the possibilities are unlimited. In conclusion, Miss Speaker said that students should dress up more when applying for jobs. Dressing up does not mean trying to look older, it merely means dressing in a business like manner.

Esther Nlontgomery Spends Christmas Vacation Visiting in Phoenix, Arizona A trip to P h oenix, A rizona , to visit a friend teaching at the Phoenix Indi<m. school w as made by Miss Esther M ontgQmery during Chr istmas vacation. Miss Montgomery said th at the school is a federal school and includes all gr::hdes from kinder ga r ten to the twelfth grade. Indians from 17 tribes of the southwester n United States attend this school. "How ever, most of the st udents were home on Christmas vacation at the time of my visit," she a dde d. Miss Montgomery stated that she w ent primarily to see the c ou ntry and desert s cenery , as she h ad never before visited this section of the Uni.ted States. "We tciok side tr ips to M exico, Tucson, and Wickenburg, a n old mining town. From Tucson we v isited. t h e San Xavier mission on the Pima reserv ation, which was built jn the eighteenth century and is still in use," she relate d. Tht:y also w ent to v isit some of the more northern reservations, but found them closed because of bad w eat her, although it was w arm. and pleasant in Phoenix. l\.ri ss Montgomery said she w ent sw.\rr 1ming on Christmas day . Citrus fruits which could be pi.eked freely were growing every v.1hei:e. S h e said that the trains on the trip to Arizona wer e unexpect edly not crow ded, but wer e running ' behind schedule. "The trip back was a panic. On ;the Southern Pacific no pullmans were available for civilians. I .s tood up in a coach from El Paso, Texas, to Hutchinson, Kansas. Also food· w as hard to get on the train. Civilians were n ot ser ved at all in the diner, b ut an ina dequate number of box lunches a nd a small amount of coff ee were sold on the train." At one stage of the t r ip home, Miss Montgomery w as riding in an old "relic of a car," pr essed into use, which was giving the passengers an unusually bumpy and uncomfortable r ide. As the passengers were settling themselves after a n especially hard
jolt, a port er passed through the car and good hum oredly said : " Trust in de Lord, chilluns. H e' s the only thing w orkin' rig}?.t on the Southern P a cific." P hoenix, w hich is the capital of Arizona, is chiefly a tour ist town. "One of the th ings that imp ressed m e w as the fact that there w a s no coa l smoke whatsoever in Phoenix. Because of the dr y clim ate there is n o u n pleasant d a mp n ess on the streets either. Phoenix is p retty, eve.n in dead winter," Miss Montgomery r elated. "The p eople of A rizona are look ing forward to b eing swamped w ith tourist t ravel now that the w ar is over and th ey are prepar i ng for the expected fl ood of tour ists," she concluded.

Links Links Annex Rough Affair By 28-16 Count Lincoln high cagers took on their eleventh straight win as they dropped the Crete Cardinals in a rough and aggressive game by a 28 to 16 count Friday. Crete took the lead only once in the first minute of the game, but "Scooter" Bergquist knotted the count at two all. From then on it was the Links game all the way, although the scoring was held way low for both teams. The Weyand clan took a 10-4 quarter lead with a pair of fielders by Bergquist and a setup by Grady. The rough play started in the second quarter with both teams pressing a close man-to-man defense. The Red and Black boosted their margin to ten points by half time on a pair of fielders and a free throw. Kenny Neihart did all the Crete scoring on a pair of gratis tosses. The same rough tactics were employed in the third 'quarter with the Crete quintet outscoring the Links by one point. Bergquist took honors for the Links with a bucket from the corner and another on a fast setup from Wenke. Bob Vifquain led the Crete aggregation with a free throw and a basket. Crete sliced the Lincoln lead down to six points in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter, but Wenke and Pierce retaliated to start the Lincoln scoring bulbs flashing. Grady and Don Meyer ended the scoring for the Capitol citians with a pair of buckets as the game ended. Al Bergquist turned in another fine floor game and grabbed honors, with ten points. Bob Pierce was held to one fielder by the heavy defensive guarding. Randy Renken also. played a sparkplug game for the Links with his aggressiveness. Vifquain took scoring honors for the Cards with 5 points. Vifquain, Kusy and Neihart played an excellent defensive game all evening for the Cardinals.

BY JERRY MAPES. Baskstrokers. As the Emery tutored tankers get into full swing we'll turn our attention this week to the backstrokers. Main conteders for this event are Bob Stone, Jack Campbell, Chick Thompson and Dale Terry. Stone is a junior and has had no previous competitive experience. He is noted for his ability to liven the crowd besides holding more than his own in this all important event. Campbell, a senior, has shown his ability in the backstroke by his fine perforamnce in the interclass meet which was held· several weeks back. He also doubles in the crawl. Thompson has improved rapidly and will probably continue to do so as the season progresses. Chick is a sophomore and has plenty of time. Another ·sophomore who has been plagued by a face infection is Dale Terry. Dale has had previous experience in the form of Y. M. C. A. competition and should get back into the swing of .things soon.

For their eleventh consecutive win of the season the Junior Links stopped Juniata, 40-26. Ahead 13-7 at the end of the first period the Red and Black reserves stretched this to a 26-10 first half lead. Juniata came back in the final periods to outscore Lincoln 16-14 but the large first half lead proved sufficient for a Lincoln victory.

East has a quartet of returning lettermen not to be underestimated in Red and Black circles. They are Norris, Thompson, McEllmuray and Rasmussen. Harlan Davis is the lone newcomer in their starting five. McEllmuray and Rasmussen will be the boys to watch as both are hoop-happy. Norris and Thompson are defensive bulwarks. Willie Lee, shifty, speedy negro, and Jerry Smith . will bear close watching if the Links expect to rack up another one when they play Central on Saturday. · Lee is 5 feet 11 inches, weighs·165 pounds and is dead eye.

streak just about ended at 1:l :iaturday night as they nosed {') ut the Omaha Sputh Packers by a· mere two points, 29-27, for their twelfth consecutive win. The main factor that almost tr• ut the game into overtime was Bo b Rodgers, Omaha South guard, Wh( l dumped a last second shot 1nl .o the basket, making the score 2! lall. About this ti~e the crow, d was well on their feet and Rodg· ers' mates were jumping mad]J r around him. Referee Max Rope1 · put a . quick stop to all this by ruling that Rodgers had traveled which automatically gave the ball out of bounds to Lincoln with only a few seconds remaining in the game. Coach Cornie Collin, noticing how useless it was to continue the game with only a few seconds left . and Lincoln's ball, gave the game to the Links. , Hero of the night was Dick Me;i.ns, whose 17 points blazed the trail for the Links' victory. His favorite, one-handed fake and shoot side shot, couldn't be stopped by South. Also outstanding for the Links were Deffenbaugh and Bergquist, who each registered five points. Rodgers and Halamek led the Packers' scoring attack with seven counters apiece. Last Friday night a cold Lincoln high squad trimmed a hard fighting Crete team by a score of 28-16. A little rough play in the fourth stanza was the only cause for excitement during the game. Bruce Bergquist, making six of his ten points in the first quarter, led the way as the Liriks took a 10-4 first quarter lead. The margin was lengthened at the half to 16-6. The second half found the Links only outscoring the Cardinals by two points. Bergquist received able assistance from Grady and Wenke, with six points apiece; Vifquain was tops for Crete with five counters.

The Packers then outscored the Links 9-3, putting them within two points of knotting the count, the score being 29-27. With seconds left, Bob Rodgers, South's colored guard, hit the mesh with a long .one as the crowd went wild. But the Packers had traveling called on them which wasn't noticed because of the confusion and noise which rocked the gym.

A l King a nd Queen of Hearts, judgeed by the committee, are to be crcowried at the party and their picttures will be taken. The girls 1gymnasium will be decorated wit.th .valentine hearts and crepe pap;>er and t he music ls to be furnisrned by a band. According t<O advance plans, this promises to lbe one of the best High Spots y1et, and the success of this party will determine h ow often ot her l{igh Spots can be held. Attendance Limited Miss Lillian Story, sponsor for this year, would like it announced that no one .other than L.H.S. pupils may attend. There is swim~ ming for boys from 7:00 to 9:00; there are ga~s in the cafeteria and gymnasium. Dancing is rrom 8:00 to 10:30 and open always will be the snack bar. The High Spo~ is held every Friday when there is no other activity. Fourteen d ozen cookies and 25 cases of cokes .are the average sold at the snack bar. War time recreation is what · brought about the High Spot. It is sponsored by the city recreation department. Dances similar to this are held at Northeast high and College -View. ' Musicians Are Ready Furnishing music for the d ance is probably the hardest a chievement for it takes many hours of p ractice to prepare musicians of high school age to play for a dance. Friday's band will be the first band not having a n amed leader. Semi-slow and slow inusic are preferred to jump tunes. This band will specialize in slow and dreamy music. Past bands who have played are Marvin Hansen, Jimmy Phillips and Ed Weaver. Two years ago t he first High Spot had recorded music. The second one with a record a ttend.o ance of 500, danced to the music of Marvin Hansen and his orchestra. No admission was charged at the first two dances, but a dime is n ow charged to pay for an orchestra, most of the musicians being in high school. Miss Esther Montgomery was sponsor the first year. It takes an average of fifty students to prepare a High Spot. The committees are as follows: dance committee, Frank Piccolo, chairman; decoration, Margaret Chamberlin; check room, Kathryn Swanson; snack bar, P hyllis Cone, and games, George Nutt. All are volunteers.

Continue Buying Bonds, Though Victory is Won. Students, not only in Lincoln high school, but every school in the nation, are to be complimented on their splendid job of saving during this last world war. Naturally, the collection of waste, tin cans, rubber, and fats were of tremendous value to the all out victory, yet the deciding factor in our victory was the purchase of War bonds and stamps. .Although the average. student was not in a financiat position to purchase a great quantity of these bonds, every little 1i contributed greatly. · The average human. mind con~eives only that small quantity of tangible material which immediately concerns him and his associates. Actually, he must consider each elementary, junior high, and senior high school in every county in the forty-eight states in the Union. It adds up to quite a sum, doesn't it? This saving was not just service to our country, but a sensible and practical way of saving the average teen-ager's money, ~hich, so often, lightly passes through his fingers. · · In L.H.S. there were no counters where you could invest your money in bonds or stamps. The question arises, "Why not?" The school officials and local civic committee in charge of sales consider the high school student a member of his community, eligible to purchase them at local establish· ments instead of at a high school. Lincoln high is one of several schools who practices this theory, yet there are many schools in the United States whose students purchase bonds within the school. In 1941, approximately two and one-half million students in 8,400 schools, were saving through an established school or class· room plan. In i945, more than 25 million students were saving regularly by buying bonds and stamps each week. Their savings, during the war, amounted to two billion dollars, a terrific share in financing of the war! Realizing that their purchases draw interest and that good habits of money management are important throughout any prevailing conditions, many schools are continuing their weekly practices in governmen finances. The treasury must go on borrowing, not only to finish paying for the war, but to control inflation. Also, a certain amount of "new borrowing" will be necessary for re- . funding our national debt, as new bank deposits are necessary to offset withdrawals. Then let us continue to practice these good habits of money management and continue to assist our government in the tre· mendous job ahead of us by buying U. S. Savings bonds and stamps.
Heed Nells' Misfortunes During Joy Night Tryouts Now Nell was quite a handsome lass Who went to Lincoln high. The lads adored this charming girl And tossed her glances sly.. She had a date for Monday night, For Tuesday and Wednesday, too. Thursday and Friday found her out, · Saturday and Sunday was nothing new. Her other friends were busy, Rehearsing acts for Joy Night. Tryouts were scheduled very soon, ' · But Nell was always on the flight. Tryouts came up one sunny day, Her friends were well prepared. But Nell's "spur of the moment" act, Could not be well compared. When Joy Night finally came, Nell's friends were all on stage. But poor Nell, looking on, Was trying to calm her rage. NOW THE MORAL TO THIS STORY IS: Don't be like little Nell, Be sure your sketch is well rehearsed, And things will end just "swell!"

Education is Not Compulsory in the Philippines-Not Enough Schools BY PHYLLIS BANKS. Four Years in Paradise-Osa Johnson. A highly entertaining adventure story taking place in the heart of Africa, which is written by the wife and partner of the late Mar. tin Johnson, one of the best known animal photographers of this time. Mrs. Johnson tells of the journey to Paradise lake and the four years t hat she, her husband Martin, their native guides, porters, gunbearers, and their huge and amusing a ssortment of pets spent in "Paradise" and on "Safari" in the surrounding country. She tells of the child-like natives, their beliefs and very quaint ways of saying things. To them ice is "water that goes to sleep" while shredded wheat is "Rat's nest." Animals in "Paradise" range from the microscopic jigger to the massive elephants and hippopotami and the t ales told about them are very interesting. Markoosha Fischer-My Lives in Russia. Markoosha Fischer lived in Czarist Russia until the Russia revolution of 1905 when she was sent to various schools in Switzerland.

Luscious Feast Is En joyed by Future Chefs Comments such as " Gee, what a swell meal that was" and "Boy, what a wonderful five pound roast," were made last Thursday by all the boys in Mrs. Katherine Henninger's boys home eco~omics class.

Preparation of foods was demonstrated in class and the boys, themselves, set the tables. Another topic they've been discussing is "How to be the 'Perfect Host.' " Therefore each of the two tables elected a "host" for the dinner. Ever ett Hull and Max Nemer were the t wo chosen and they carved and served the food. The menu planned was: Beef Roast Browned P otatoes with Gravy Lettuce and Tomato Salad Creamed Peas Hot Rolls and Butter .Milk Soft Custard with Peaches However, the one hour allowed for preparation, eating, and clearing-up did not give time to fix the salad, peas, or custard.

"No, education is not compulsory in the Philippines. In fact, there aren't enough schools to take care of all the children," stated Miss Maria Osmena, daughter of Sergio Osmena, president of the Philippines, in an interview with an Advocate reporter. "There are many parochial and private schools, but the richer childr en go to the private schools. It is unheard of for the children of better families to go to public schools," she declared. The public schools are free, except for t extbooks which the students buy. English is taught in all schools, · although there are some 87 different native dialects. Private schols have to conform to government regulations, and tests are sent out at different times. "Wherever it is possible there are schools, but some of the country is so r ugged that it is impossible to est ablish a school," she said. Miss Osmena said about 30 per cent of the islands' income is spent on education but t hat during the Japanese occupation most of the schools were closed. Miss Osmena, who has traveled extensively, and speaks sev eral
Open Forum] To The Editor: During the war many people pooled or shared their cars. They saved paper, fats, rubber, metal, practically anything that was at all valuable. The mass saving done on such a huge scale, successfully has taught us a valuable lesson. Yet -we are not using it to an advantage. If mass scale saving can be successful, with tangible things, why can't it be done wit h human talent? Various clubs that have been organized in L. H .S. are to serve the descriptive talents of students. The clubs are t o pool talents, yet they don't provide for a great number of students. Many are ignored. A student may remain in a certain dub all the years he is in high school yet never be given a chance to participate in

Kim is now enrolled in the ninth grade at Irving junior high school. Although he p r e f e r s Greek, he speaks English quite well for the length of time he has studied it. Kim explained that the Americans seem to have ten words for every one word of Greek. He has finished high school in Greece and has had physics, chemistry, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, Latin, French, geography and anthropology. Schools ar e much different in Greece than in America. Junior high school is from first to sixth grade while senior high is from seventh to twelfth grade. Boys and girls are separated in senior high school, because there is a different school for each. Kim started to school when he was six years old and, because his mother was the teacher, stayed in
the first class for two years. During the occupation, all boys had to be off the streets by six o'clock ev.ery evening and in the houses. Heavy black shades w ere kept lowered most of the time. Kim didn't speak much about the Germans. His father was ·in America during the occupation. From Sweden they took the Gripsholm which was 13 days on the voyage and, as it was Kim's first experience on t he water, it took him several hours to get over it. Kim's favorite sport is swimming. He is learning to play basketball the American way, The brothers took English lessons at the boar d of education from one-thirty to three . o'clock on regular school days. K im can read English out of a book, but cannot understand clearly what he is reading. After finishing junior high, Kim w ill er,ter Lincoln high school. George and Nick will ent er the university soon.
different languages, remarked that French is understoo.d by most Eu· r opeans, with English ranking next. " The Filipinos have friendly virtues, and are very grateful for anything anyone does for them," she declared. "They are unselfish and will fight for the things they want. During the Japanese occupation many were tortured and killed for aiding the Americans, but they n ever gave any information." Miss Osmena said the housing situation in Manila is much worse than we can imagine. Most houses were burned to the ground and the Japanese took machinery and foodstuffs from the people. If they did pay for the things they took, it was at their own price which didn't mean anything because Japanese money was worthless. They just printed as m uch as they wanted. "No goods enter ed the Philippines during the occupation and consequently nothing was left. Everything w as at a premium and the black market soared when the Americans came. It h as decreased 50 per cent since the goods have started to come in, but the people still expect more help from the Americans. They need steel products, nails and tools, to start the rebuilding process." The Philippines government is modeled after our own. There are women politicians who hold very important positions and are v ery highly respected. Miss Osmena said that as long as human nature did not change, there would always be wars. She spoke in Lincoln January 28 under the sponsorship of the Town Hall Junior League lecture ·series.

"Here in Lincoln," she said, "the Red Cross has done a great number of things. For instance, during the flood of 1942, 25 women served meals to 500 people. Of course, things weren't done properly because we had to hurry." Now that the war is over, the Red Cross is attempting to spread out into peace time activities, such as sending and serving food to the veterans' hospitals. "Our group consisted of 60 women at the beginning of the war, 45 of the original number are still standing by. The women have all enjoyed doing this glamourless work; it has not· been a restful job," she declared.

Mr. Magee stated that there are four main divisions of advertising in a department store: The selling or merchandise division; the accounting, bookkeeping and record division; the service division, and the sales promotion division. The advertising department is divided into three departments, window display, advertising and personnel training. One need not be an artist to do advertising work, but must have a good sense of balance, construction and original ideas, according to the speaker. Card writing is a very good position if one wants to succeed in advertising, but one does not have to have the natural talent in fashion art.

Declares Youth Is Responsive
"Youth is responsive," stated the Rev. R. W. Dickson of the Vine Congregational church who spoke to Lincoln high students in observance of ·Youth Week in a double assembly Wednesday, January 30. Because youth is responsive and can be guided by almost any influential force, it is necessary that religion emphasis be applied, stated the speaker. The Rev. Mr. Dickson pointed out that we are now living in a new type of world and it must be met on a spiritual level. This can be done by the people who are educated and ,,\.;ho are spiritually guided. "Something has to be done to channel American youth in a proper pattern," said the spe.a ker, "because they are the ones who hold the future of the world."

Some of the hardships of Columbus and other early Spanish explorers of the new world are being studied by Mrs. Bernice Tebbett's Spanish 4 classes. It was learned that if it hadn't been for Spain's ships, money and brave explorers, the new world would never have been settled and made into such rich, prosperous nations. In Miss Ethel Murray's fifth period hygiene class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, hobbies were discussed. Each girl in the room told of her own hobby. Photography, dancing, drawing, playing the piano, swimming, collecting bronze horses, embroidering, and collecting picture postcards were some of the hobbies mentioned.

Large Turnout For Meeting Links in Preparation For First Track Meet To Be Held April 5 Eighty-eight boys, the largest number ever to sign up for track, reported to Coach Ralph Beechner Monday in preparation for the first track meet of the year to be held about April 5. Coach Beechner stated that the only way to qualify for the state meet this year is to finish first, second, third or fourth in any regional meet. Lincoln is scheduled to participate in one meet a week. This means there will be two meets before the spring vac·a tion. This year the Missouri Valley meet follows the state meet. The state meet is May 10, 11 with the Missouri Valley falling on May 18 at Omaha Tech. The first eligibility list went in J anuary 22 and from there on· it will be reported weekly. Also the numeral cards have been .handed out to the boys who want to work on them. Any boy who is out for track may receive a numeral card. "Already invitations have been received from St. Joe. The first meet will be the Lincoln invitational. It will be held about April 5," announced Coach Beechner. Cleveland Marshall w ith the assistance of Omaha Central, romped off with the state meet l ast year. Marshall, winner of two gold medals in the 100 and 200 yard dash, collected 10 of the Eagles' 25 points. Following close behind were North Platte and Omaha Benson with 21 and 20 points respectively. Fincoln finished seventh. Point getters for the Links squad were Gayle Lebsack 1 who placed second place in the discus; Ed Donegan, jumping himself into a third place tie in the high jump; Don Bryant registering a thir d place in the mile, and Jack Deffenbaugh, who captured a third place tie in the pole vault. Standout of the meet was Harold Kopf of Lexington, who captured three first places and two gold medals. He was nosed out by two-tenths of a second from winning his third gold medal by Bud Bowman of Stapleton, who ran the 440 to 52.2. Pictures of the N.C.A.A. track meets at Stanford in 1941 and here at Lincoln in 1942 w ere shown at a track meeting Friday . It gave the boys a chance to see many of the nation's finest track stars in action. Correct form and relax ation while performing in each event was stressed t o the greatest extent. The film required ·about 45 minutes to show.

Applications For Joy Night Ready Available Next Monday Applications for Joy Night will be available on Monday, February 18. Anyone wishing one may get it from his home room teacher .or in room 305. All applications will be due in room 305 by 4:00 on Wednesday, February 20. The acts must be sponsored by a faculty member and should be in the best shape possible for the tryouts which will be held February 27 and 28 before student council and faculty judges. Announces Courtesy Week Mary Aitken, chairman of the cqurtesy committee, announced in the council meeting Wednesday that this week would be courtesy week. Courtesy booklets have been distributed to everyone in school and the slogan has been placed on the blackboards in all home rooms. . Student Affairs Rejects Plan The student affairs. committee rejected the plan submitted by the student council to change the extra-curricular activity points received by play cast members. The council had proposed that certain minor characters should receive three points instead of the present number of six. Since this plan of giving points by lines and speeches was not approved by the student affairs committee, the present rating of six points for all minor parts still holds. Ten members of the council helped with the registration and licensing of bicycles. Ed Carter, chairman of the safety committee, appointed two of these · to help each period.
Students Wish Membership Opinion Poll Reveals Pupils Desire HaVing A World Government Approximately three-fourths of the students who voted on the three questions asked in the Institute of Student Opinion Poll last_Wednesday, were in favor· of the United States' membership in a world government. Under this proposal, each nation would have the same relationship to the world government as our states do to our federal government. This would give the smaller nations a better chance, according to one atudent. "Being one of the leading ·nations of the world, it's our duty to join a world government"_:_ "The only way we can · protect ourselves from the atom bomb is to join such an organization.""'Why not leave things well enough alone-the United Nations Orgnaization is good enough""After all it is a world organization, we should stay out of it?" These are opinions of Lincoln high school students concerning a world government to replace the United Nation:s Organization. Fom the six home rooms which took the poll more than half are planning to go to college when they have finished high school. A typical reason for this answer is: "Keen competition in job finding is bound to be a direct effect of so many service men returning to civilian life. To be any match for their skill, specialized training or college education will be necessary." From $30 to $74 per week is the average wage expected by the voters ten years from now.
Eighteen Bicycle Licenses Issued Only eighteen bicycle licenses were distributed to pupils of Lincoln high, Thursday, February 7, when officers Ralph Murphy and Charles Bryan of the Lincoln police department came to the building. All received their old numbers. To get a license, pupils showed their last year's registration cards or a bill of sale in case· of unregistered bicycles and paid a 25 cent fee. The bicycles, before receiving new licenses, had to be in safe operating condition, with rear fender, brake and pedals and also a two-inch reflector.

THE ADVOCATE
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1946
Prom Revival is Urged for Students of L.H.S. For many years the students of L.H.S. always supported a junior-senior dance. This dance was always one of the high points of interest to seniors and, if revived this year, should receive the support of all the students. The junior-senior dance last year was called off because not enough tickets were sold. It might be pointed out that the reason for this was due partly to difficulties in management. The dance .was to be held in Whittier junior high school gymnasium and also purchasers of tickets were asked to put the name of their "date" on the ticket which was purchased some time in advance of the dance. These two things reduced the sale of tickets immensely. This'year the junior-senior dance ought to be revived and with good management and a good place to hold the dance, it should again become one of the most interesting of the activities held during the school year.
Sir Raleigh Has Nothing on the High Schoolers Sir Walter Raleigh may have spread His coat across a puddle, But doing such feats in this age Would put things in a muddle, So, come one, come all, you "chucks" and "chicks," _ Let us get in .a huddle And decide on some teen-age points That won't leave you "afuddle." Now, this pertains just to you "chucks" (Who think you're pretty hot) The next time you're out with your girl (And what boy wishes that he's not) Just put on your Sunday manners . (And show her that you've not forgot) That boys aren't always acting up . Like a tiny little tot. And now, it's your turn all you "chicks," You think you're always "on-thebeam," Don't laugh at "Chuck" when he's polite And make him think that he's a scream, For you are certainly the girl That makes him think he's not the cream. Allow him to be very sweet And you'll end a winning team. Now that matters are cleared up (They most certainly should be) You'll find that f un can be had by all "Just you wait and see." '
Consideration Stressed for Improving School If another class was to be added to the Lincoln h igh school class schedule, perhaps the most .appropriate one would be giving students a few pointers on manners. On the whole, Lincoln high is fairly orderly, but h ere and there a few improvements are . n eeded. Loitering and forming crowds in the halls always cause disturbance, and as a result st udents arrive late in classes. Yelling from one end of t he corridor to the other certainly doesn't impress the visitors and the teachers. P ushing and r unmng are other distinctive factors. And, because S<lllle students are always in a hurry and t hink only of themselves, accidents result. A good example might be found in the cafeteria line where crowding delays and disturbs. If students would remember t o eat their lunches only in the cafeteria, the paper found in the halls a nd classrooms would not cause added work for the janit ors and t eachers. Discarded papers lying around do not add to the beauty of Lincoln high school. · Girls are again reminded t hat there are other places for combs than on the cafet eria tables. This applies to purses, notebooks and books as well. Everyone should leave his place at the table as he would like to find it. Prevention of accidents, a saving of time, and clean corridors would be noticeable as a. r esult more consideration and respect from Lincoln high students.

By Nina Mull Paul Robeson, · Negro-Eslanda Gciode Robeson. This story will move you to laughter ;tears and thoughtfulness because of its human interest and its sincerity. Paul Robeson was a great football hero and Phi Beta Kappa student at Rutgers college, a famous actor and singer, known on two continents. He was always welcome to any Negro's house and had many distinguished and aristocratic friends of the white race. Wherever Paul Robeson went his magnetic personality followed him like a faithful dog. Paul's wife, Eslanda, is a r emarkable young woman who had much to do with his success. Her interesting background for the book on him is that of Harlem a nd the intellectual Negro. Antonio Salemme made a bronze figure of Paul in life size. In this book the earnest thoughts of Paul show through in every chapter and show that he's not conceited, but takes his fame as a way to make friends. This unique book is interesting because its viewpoint r epresents the v iewpoint of an artist and of a man who is at home in two alien racial worlds. Other books in the library which have particular significance this w eek, "Negro History Week," are as follows: The Negro in American LifeJohn Becker. · A Short History of the American Negro-Bramley. The Negro in American Civilizations-Johnson.
Being courtesy week, this week's question was asked of the t eachers. "Which acts of courtesy do you think are most lacking in Lincoln high students?" Mrs. Ruth Dodge: They all want to talk at the same time and won't listen to others. Ralph Hansen: The use of the profane language in the halls is the most outstanding d,iscourtesy of Lincoln high students. Miss Estha- Montgomery: Pushing and bumping others in the hall, especially at noon. Very few are deliberate, most just thoughtless. Alva Cavett: Interruption of others in class a nd in the h alls which could be easily stopped if they would only think of the Gther fella. Miss Ceal Foster: There are !llmost no deliberate discourtesies among the students although they are inconsidera te at times.

doing to further education in Nebraska. More emphasis should be placed on teaching students the importance of getting along wit h one another, declared R. C. Campbell, an executive of Miller & P aine company, in an interview. "I sincerely hope," he said, "that the schools are teaching their students how to live together and get along with one another. This is of prime import ance, for the high school and college students as the citizens of tomorrow will have a definite n eed for it." "If the hours of work a r e not too long .and do not interfere with the student's studying, I can see no obj ection at all, to part time employment," stated Mr. Campbell. "Not only a sense of values, but also learning to get along with other people are its benefits. "Altho our schools are far above the a verage," he related, "they have a weakness common to most public schools and that is that the students are not realistically prepared t o take up the work of the world. Somebody has to be a bricklayer, somebody has to be a blacksmith, someone h as to scrub floors, and it is the duty of t he schools to adjust the students to the dignity of th ese simple t asks.
To the Editor: In the last few weeks many pupils have been complaining of the small number of "pep" assemblies and · asking for more. Yet, when we do have pep assemblies, many offer no school spirit and do not cheer and sing with the cheerleaders a nd Peppers. The purpose of these assemblies is to boost our team, but how can we do this when not all will yell and the assemblies seem . dead? If t his is the case, why have pep assemblies? They · are just a lot of extr a work to put on. Most people, however, want t hese assemblies, so why can't everyone do his part? I have heard t hat at Northeast the t eam sits in the front row as a sort of honor. I think Lincoln could do this too. MARGARET CHAMBERLIN.

'1,300 People Served in On~ Hour,'
Mrs. Hilda Kargo, Cafeteria Manager "Is it possible t-0 send trays through faster?" asked the Advocate reporter, while interviewing Mrs. Hilda Kargo, manager of Lincoln high cafeteria. Mrs. Kargo looked startled a nd: said, "F eed trays through fast~r? Do you know that we r un a faster line than any school cafeteria in the state? J anuary 30, w e ran 1,300 people in one hour." Mrs. Kargo continued, "We average eighteen cents a tray. But now I have a suggestion. Last semester the lunch classes wer e fairly even ; this semester t he lines from 11:30 to 12:00 are thin a nd the ones from 12:00 to 12:30 ar e heavy. I know that Mr. Mardis evened the classes' lunch periods out last semest er and maybe h e is working on it n ow, b ut it would help if they were evened up." "Have you tried any new ty pes of dishes la tely?" the reported inq uired. "No, not recentl y. We ha ve, howeveF, tried new dishes beioBe
and m ost of t he kids hesitate to buy them. They seem to be satisfied w i t h the repetitious dishes we serve, such as chili, potatoes, corn, beans, vegetable soup, ·etc." On being asked about difficulties concerning supplies, Mrs. Kargo stated that they w er e minor compared to those during rationing. "The candy and ice cream situation looks b etter," assured Mr s. Kargo. Although we don't have a very wide variety of ba rs as yet, we do have a better supply than m any schools." She also stated that they receive 60 boxes of bars a week. Tha t's 120 d ozen bars. "The conditions in the cafeteria are better, of course, but it. would help if the student s w ere a little more conscious of their waste mat erial. After all, it's their place to eat and they should help to keep it n eat and clean," she concluded.
Such precious articles as silk hose and a genuine alligator bag valued at $50, were brought t o the States by Mr. Hipple.

"Quicker'n a Wink," an informative Pete Smith specialty conce;:ning ultra-slow photograph was shown at the open meet-ing. One rung higher on the step-ladder of modern photography than the flash bulb, very fast moving subjects, such as in the field of sports are now clear and distinct where they were once blurry. Even a humming bird's wings, which look blurry to · the human eye, can now be seen clearly by means of this camera. Box cameras were discussed by J. D. Young as to the amount of light n eeded, adjustment of the lens, focus, and distance of the subject from the camera. Several different types of cameras belonging to students attending the meeting were explained. One of these was a complicated German camera belonging to Ed Angle, the president.

John Wylie, department manager for Hovland Swanson, spoke at the D. E. A. meeting Wednesd ay, February 6, on the prospects of future advertising and buying for large department stores. He explained the buying system which is now used. The buyer of a store such as Hovland's goes to the New York, Chicago or Los Angeles office where a specialist on suits, sweaters, or another item ha_s the information on what manufacturers h ave the best quality bargains of that particuler item. Then the buyer goes directly to these manufacturers instead of having to shop around so much. This method was suggested by Dorothy Shaver, who is the buyer for Lord and Taylors of New York City. Mr. Wylie also told about the future prospects in the field of advertising. He feels that telev ision will be of great value for this r eason. Products can b e shown and demonstrated to people in their own homes and will thus be glamourized in people's minds. He says that business men downtown t hink .that a class such as the distributive education class of Miss Fern Hubbard here at Lincoln big)} is very valuable. He added in closing his speech that w hen a student came to him t o apply for a job, he looked first for personality, which he says in all cases must be a lert and likeable.

Heavy Game Schedule is Protested Board Member Hears Objection
George Washington Still an Example Of Principles and Ideals of Mankind "Father, I cannot tell a lie, I chopped down your cherry tree." We all know these historic words but few of us realize the real significance of them. Even as a small boy it is said that George was truthful at all times. Whether this particular anecedote is true or not, we do not know. However we do know that honesty was one of Washington's greatest aims. When he grew older he restated this childish phrase into some of the greatest words of history, "I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I con-
sider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man." George Washington felt that there was no difference between little white lies such as "I couldn't do my homework last night teacher, I didn't know the assignmenr' and really ~g lies. It is much easier for all· of us to sli~e by merely making· up statements, not really lying Oi: meaning to. We just don't realize that each time the habit increases. This week in particular we should all try to become junior Washingtons.
Scholarships Performers To Be Given Well Received In Contest Pepsi-Cola Test Given to Ten L.H.S. Pupils Tests for the Pepsi Cola scholarship were given by H. C.

Vocabulary, mathematics, and problems in deductive reasoning were the three major divisions of the test. Two students from every state will be chosen and awarded full tuition to any school in the United States plus $25 expenses per month and railroad fare · to and from the school once a year. Decision of the winners will be announced some time in April.

It's Always a Good RULE
To See the · Junior Play .I
"We were treated like kings," was the verdict of the Lincoln high performers, on their return from the assembly given at Northeast high school, February 15. The grand finale was the request for Dave Evans to play "Maggie in Mirth and Melody" which he presented at Joy Night last year. Following the assembly, R. S .. Mickle, principal of Northeast high, made arrangements for the students to be conducted through the school. Other. performers were Ed Carter, mastei· of ceremonies, Beverly Hennick, Helmut Sienknecht; Don Hays and Irwin Loder.
Baker Announces Study Committees Dr. Leigh Baker, resident director in charge of the co-operative school study now in progress, announced at the board of education meeti°:g February 12, appointment of personnel subcommittees in the co-operative study. On the welfare committee from Lincoln high school are Mrs. Mary C. Mapes and Miss Emma Snyder of the faculty and Miss Dorothy M. Beevel of the secretarial staff. Salary committee: Miss Ruth Hall. Sick leave committee: Ralph M. Hansen. Ratings and promotion committee: Miss Margaret O'Rourke. Committees on pupil organization and guidance: Reporting· and records: Hugh T. Rangel er. Guidance: Miss Dorcas Weatherby.
'Students Never Change' says Miss O'Rourke Miss Margaret O'Rourke, in an interview recently, gave a view of her past, present and future. "I had always wanted to be a teacher," she stated, "and at Creston high school in Creston, Iowa, I decided to ·become an English teacher. After graduating in the arts and science curriculum I :;ittended the University of Nebraska." Before coming to Lincoln high, she taught English at North Platte. "Students are very normal and often show sparks of high intelligence," she said, smiling. "I like young people and most students seem to grasp their English readily. Students never change," she said with a, gleam in her eye, "they still try to 'pull-the-wool' the same as we did when we went to school, and it's now very amusing to see both sides of the situation." Miss O'R.ourke explained that she is interested in sports and enjoys reading and knitting. She collects poetry and scene skits and has a high interest in dramatics. When a's ked of the future, she replied that she would go on with English teaching.
Curtailment of some competitive sports in Lincoln high and other high schools may result because of some disapproval expressed by parents. M. C. Lefler, superintendent, was asked by the Lincoln board of education at the regular meeting, February 12, to discuss the problem with Lincoln coaches in the hope that the matter would be taken up wrth the Nebraska high school activities association and game schedules shortened. The question arose because of a phone call received by George Lemon, board member, from a worried parent of a Lincoln . basketball player, who objected to three games in one week. Time to Cut So that conference games can still be played, Coaches Lyle Weyand and Ralph W. Beechner agree that now is the time for the Lincoln high athletic board to cut competitive sports with some of the smaller schools. They admitted that a twentygame schedule is too heavy, but said that there was no other possible way to arrange the games with smaller schools and still play the schools in the conference. "That fact that athletes lose study time may be true for one week, but it certainly isn't true of all weeks," Coach Weyand stated. "Last week was the first time that Lincoln has played three games in one week for several seasons and I don't like it any better than some of the parents, but it couldn't be helped this year." He expressed the opinion that the ideal schedule would be two games one week and one the next. Need Well Rounded Pr~a.m Ed . Weir, --Univ@rsity Di . Nebraska track coach, expressed the opinion in a recent interview that Lincoln high needs a good well rounded program of sports and study combined. "Athletics can go too far bo.th ways and a program of this type for the athletes to follow and the coaches to see that they follow it, is greatly needed in the Lincoln school system," stated Coach Weir.

Juniors Benefit. As Nurses' Aids Four junior girls, Carolyn Roberts, Margaret Chamberlin, Jean Leadley, and Dionne Edwards, offered their services as nurses' aids, at Lincoln General hospital. The girls went into training under a special supervisor. They were issued their own uniforms and all started in work on the same floor where they gave morning care, served the meals and helped make the patients comfortable throughout the day. As their training went on and they became more skilled and able to handle different patients, they were moved to different places, working on surgery and medical cases, pediatrics, accident cases and isolation and psychopathic wards. The girls work Saturdays and Sundays and after school from f four to seven, working with graduate nurses, and eating their meals at the hospital. All four girls had taken the home nursing course given in Miss Ethel Murray's hygiene classes. This helped them very much and enabled them to learn faster and understand their work.

Pupils Should Be Attentive Classroom Courtesy Recently. Stre,ss_e~ by
Announcement Memo "Courtesy in the classroom," the topic of an announcement memo given in home room to pupils of Lincoln high, Friday, February 15, by the home room representatives, ·stressed listening to persons who have the :floor. "An interested class makes for an interesting course," was an emphasized point. It ended with a statement, "The basis of courtesy is thoughtfulness of Others and it must be applied by everyone in the classroom, as well as in other places." "What'll I do now? What is the proper thing to do now? Memo ·Distributed "Have you ever been caught in this situation? Probably you h;;tve!" That is just why the courtesy committee gave to every student in Lincoln h igh a pa~ph let containing the do's and don't of proper etiquette. This four-page memo outlines the things to do when in special situations that boys get into and some good advice for girls. "What'll I do? I'm just about broke and have a date only to.morrow night." The little book says, "If she's the right kind of girl, she'll hav,.e a good time no matter what you decide to do." S p o r t s manship, notes, trips, school, parties, introductions, almost everything which makes up the courtesy in activities is included in this pamphlet. Printed in it is a theme which goes something like this: "People who give a little. thought to what they are doing are the ones who go through with the least amount of blushes and hurt feelings."
Simultaneous Arrival of Spring and Misfortune Cause Grief in Family Spring, that fatal season, crashes the serenity of the Hartman household as you will see if you attend "And Came the Spring," to be presented by the class of '47, February 22. Spring enters to "stir the blood and lift the heart." Midge, the. Hartman's youngest charge plays havoc . with the hearts of several young people and the sanity of everyone concerned. At the end of the second act the world comes crashing down around an angered family and a bewildered Midge. Midge's mother is almost ready to agree with Mr. Hartman who contends, "The young people of
FIVE CENTS
today are more irresponsible than the youth of his day." On the night of Midge's first formal dance, however, she steps into the picture again and sets matters straight in a heart-warming ·manner. By the end of spring vacation the three Hartman children have taken an important step towards maturity and their parents have learned a few things, too. Narrating the highlights -of t he junior play, Frank Piccolo, as a reader interviewer, gave an interpretation of the typical American family portrayed in · "And Came the Spring," advertised in a double assembly Febru~ry 14.

Miss Jenkins added, "There may be three or four · debate teams from each school."

Miss Mary Bedell has been visiting her cousin, Miss Laura Hartzell, assistant in the chemistry laboratory. Miss Bedell spent 17 years in China as a Methodist m1ss10nary teaching science and chemistry in the Chinese language. "The only difficult part about teaching chemistry in t he Chinese language," admitted Miss Bedell, "is that the pupils sometimes ask technical questions which are hard to understand." Before she ret urned to the United States she lived for four years under Japanese occupation. Whil~ awaiting the opportunity to return to her work, Miss Bedell has been teaching at Kletzing College, Oskaloosa, Iowa.

Will Nurnberg War Trial Preserve World Peace? · On November 20, the Nurnberg trial opened and the people of the United Nations looked forward to the conviction and punishment of the twenty German war criminals. What has happened so far is a different matter. The trial has moved at snails pace, despite the fact that enough evidence was complied in the first three days of the trial to convict and hang a thousand murderers. A shining example of evidence was the death of six million Jewish and countless other Europeans officially listed as killed in the Nazi files. The result of this delayed trial is the strong movement of unrest and backing of the old Nazi party. As long as these and other war criminals remain alive they will have followers. Proof of this was the volunteering of 35,000 Germans to · testify for the defense of these men! Attempted suicides, insanity and heart attacks have slowed down the trial. How many will die of boredom before the trial ends remains to be seen. The total success or failure of the trial will be told in the next eight ·or ten weeks, whether the trial will go down in history as a successful measU.J;e to preserve world peace.

Lord:s Had Common Sense With Their Drawbriilges In the feudal days, the lords of the land used to protect their castles by means of a moat.

Crystal Ball Needed to Tell Future of L.H.S. Jalopies Now that the war is over and new models of cars will soon be on. the. market, the question arises as to whether jalopies, popular at L.H.S., will hold their own against the newer inexpensive models. For the same price that one paid for an old car in pre-war days, he will be able to buy an up-to-date model which will be much cheaper than an older car in the cost of upkeep. . The convenience and price of the less expensive forthcoming models will be greatly in their favor toward popularity with teen-agers. But whether or not the standing tradition of jalopies at Lincoln high will continue, despite the appealing qualities of post war cars, cannot definitely be foretold.

thus separate ourseives from the problems, confusion, perplexities, and difficulties of our business tasks. Too many of U:s are apt to leave the drawbridge down and let worry, the great enemy, stalk into the peace of our homes. Too often we fight them far into the night. If we are not careful we surrender to discontent. Pull up the mental drawbridge. Let music, books ,and stimulating conversation with friends and neighbors, rest, relax, inspire and strengthen us for the morrow.

Dear Editor: Alth.ough the program given at Northeast high school last Friday, February . 15, was short and snappy, I believe the pupils enjoyed it v ery much, judging from their response. We hope that they will soon send a program to us and perhaps the ·practice can be continued throughout the following years. I know that when Northeast brings an assembly over here we will try to be very courteous. I sincerely hope that everyone will cooperat e and try to make them feel welcomed in our ·school, as we were in their school when we were their guests. Helmut Sienknecht. To the Editor: I noticed in the last issue of the Advocate that Lincoln high and Northeast are "trading" assemblies. I think this is a keen idea and should be made part of our regular assembly schedu le for the year. No better idea could help improve school spirit and friendly relationship. It also helps students with talent to prove their ability. Let 's see more of these!!! Sue Turner. To the Editor: In the near future, Northeast students will be coming to Lincoln high to give an assembly. Our only hope is that we shall
be as friendly, courteous and hospitable as they were to our representatives. Ed Carter.

The Sorrows of Wellington and Murgatroid, Or, Watch Out! It Could Happen to You! By BOB RESSEGUIE and FRANK JACOBS. Murgatroid Van Swank sank comfortably into the cushions of his Cadillac eight. With delicate strokes of his silk handkerchief he daintily brushed a few remaining morsels of imported Russian caviat which he had had for breakfast from his "skin you love to touch" cheeks. It took little time for him to reach Veronica La Ritzoff's man,. sion on Burpinshine Hill. Murgatroid didn't even have to honk for she dashed down the gold inlaid walk at the sight of his chromium trimmed Cadillac. · "Good morning, Murgatroid,'' she whispered in his ear softly as she slid onto the seat next to him. "Good morning, Veronica, my sweet," he replied. In a twinkle they were off and parked behind L. H. S. It was several minutes before the 8:35 bell rang. Veronica hesitated to inquire on such a minor issue but she finally asked, "Murgatroid, will you drive me to the furrier after school? I must pick up my mink and order several other new things." "Well, I promised mater I would be ;:ight home, but if you insist, (s-igh)- yes." Both parted company in the hall and werrt off to their lockers.

Bearcats In One Sided Tilt 59-17 ,
Maroons Lose Again to Pace Setting Links Lincoln high's unbeaten basketballers roared to a 59-17 v ictory over the Kearney Bearcats Saturday night, Feb. 16, at Kearney. The Links were never bothered as they rolled to a 15-1 initial quarter count, and a 28-8 score at halftime. Finstrom of Kearney took the scoring laurels of both teams as he racked up 14 points on three fielders and eight free throws which lacked three points of be-:ing the Bearcats' total score for the evening, The Red and Black connected from all over the court, but the players were off form at the free throw line, sinking only nine of 25 attempts. Scoring for the Links was well divided. Meyers led with nine, with Bergquist, Means, Pierce and Knopp collecting eight apiece. Bergquist and Grady were defensive standouts while Pierce and Don Meyer handled the ball off the board. fg

A third canto Tech rally sparked by Gibbons and Nepomnick brought the count to 26-19 where it was then cut short with the Maroons being held to 4 points in the last ·eight minutes.

BY JERRY MAPES. This week the Links tank team will tackle Boys Town in an effort to register its first victory, after losing to Tech for the second time last Friday. A long list of crawl strokers are on deck this week as follows: Dick Sharrar, Tom Harley, Jack Campbell, Bud Lambert, Al Mendoza, Bob Stone, Dick Ohlheiser, Carl Tisthammer, J im Martinez, Bob Phelps, George Boomer and Bill .Owen. Sharrar copped Lincoln's, only individual win Friday and also swam a leg on the winning 200 yard relay. Harley, a junior, registered two second places in the 50 and 100 yard free style. Campbell, a good backstroker, also swims the· 50 and also the medley. He was on the winning 150 yard medley against Tech. Lambert specializes in the 220 and the 100 yard free style events, being on the winning 200-yard free style relay team Friday. Mendoza, who swims the 220 usually. placed third ih his event against the Techsters. Stone, also, a backstroker, saw action Friday in the 200-yard relay. He also swims the 50. Ohlheiser's pet event is the 50 yard free style in which he has been making steady progress. Martinez, a new addition to the tank team, has been making good time in the 50 and 220-yard free style and should see action. Phelps was in the first meet with Tech in which he swam on the winning relay. The 50 yard free style is also his event. Boomer, a junior, has been matching most of the boys' time and will no doubt see action next year. Tisthammer swims the 50 also and consistently has had good time in this event . Bill Owen turned in a fine performance Friday on the 200-yard relay and is due to see more action in future meets.

Wars Bacl{ Likely Material ·Also on Hand Five returning faces will shlJW on the diamond this year as Lincoln high starts rolling in baseball. They are Don Hays, George "Lefty" Nutt, Dean "Hobby" Hobson, Pete Kortum and Melvin Knopp. Don Hays : Don will probably be on hand at the short-stop position. Don has had lots of experience. He has played two· years for Lincoln high lettering both years, and three years with t he American Legion Blues. He was picked All-State for his fine performance with the Blues. George "Lefty" Nutt, another All-stater, will be on hand to take over the mound duties. George has also had plenty of experience, playing with the Legion Blues and he played one year with Lincoln. George pitched some fine ball games last year a nd it is believed he will pitch Some finer ones this year. Hobson Back. Dean Hobson: Dean, a veteran outfielder, is coming back for h is third year of baseball. He has played two years, lettering in his junior year. He played last summer with the Legion Blues and should prove some value to the Links as they get rolling. Pete Kortum: Pete will be back behind the plate filling in for Bob Bartlet t who was graduated in January. Pete turned in some fine performances in the absence of Bob last year and a great deal will be expected from his this year. Melvin Knopp: Mel will probably be on the second sack for the Links, filling in for John Gerlach. Mel did a grand job for Lincoln last year and for the Blues last summer. Much can be expected from him. Due to See Action. Some of the other boys the fans will probably see are Ray Howell, who will share mound dities with Lefty Nutt; Stan Gerlach, who will be fighting for a chance to roam the gardens; Guy Nielson, who does a bang up job at first ba:;e; Bill Howeil and Dick Cordell, who will also be fighting for positions in the outfield. · With the returning lettermen, the ones moving up from second strings and the ones just starting, Lincoln high shoul d roll on to another state championship.

Williams, the University Theater players are presenting William Shakespeare's comedy, "Twelfth Night," at a special matinee, primarily for students, Saturday, March 16, for a special price of 35 cents for admission to pupils and teachers. Evening performances are March 14, 15 and 16. 'Comedy of Errors' Called a "c~medy of errors" by many, "Twelfth Night" is a series of humorous mistakes taking place in the country of Illyria situated on the Adriatic sea. The plot re·rolves around Sebastian and Vio:a, twin brother, and sister, played by Van Westover and Dee Ann Richardson. Westover, a 1944 graduate of Lincoln h igh, took part in "Brother Goose," 1942, and "Johnny,'' 1944. Orsino, Duke of Illyria, portrayed by John Hanly, is madly

In the Heavens How to locate the new star w hich exploded in the northern heavens is shown on the celestial globe in the h igh school library. J. D_. Young, head of the science department, has arranged a pointer showing t he exact position of the star with directions -how to locate i t . Exploded 80 Years Ago, This same star exploded some 80 years ago and became the famous nova (new star) of 1866. The star is thought to be 1,000 light years away and the light has just now reached the earth. This star has been, in intervening years, a tenth magnitude star, far below naked eye visibility as the eyes can see only the first six
mag~itudes.
After midnight the star can be seen in the north eastern sky, and at 5:00 and 6:00 in the early morning, slightly north of overhead point. Cause of Explosion Unknown. When the star exploded 80 years ago, its visibility lasted approximately two months, but astronomers cannot tell how long the increased brightness will last or what caused the sudden explosion. This star is a member of the constellation of the northern crown. Study of the star's spectrum betrayed that it was expanding at the rate of 2,500 miles a second ( 4000 kilometers). Astronomers are trying to find out why stars not only suddenly increase in brightness, but do so more than once. There are several ot her recurrent novae on record, including T. PyxidlS which burst :rorth for the fourth time in 1943.

Variety Show To Be Given April 4, 5, 6 Mexico City has been selected by the J oy Night central committee for the 1946 theme. The 1946 presentation of Mexico City will mark t he twenty-first consecutive year of J oy Night productions. Thirty-nine acts top the list of applications received by the committee for tryouts today and Thu rsday after school. There seems· to be no limit to the variety of acts planned and since only ten to fifteen can be used, judges are likely to find it very difficult to make decisions. All act s have drawn for positions in the _tryouts and will be called from rooms assigned at the time for their tryout. 22nd Joy Night. Joy Night was first produced twenty-one years ago on April 17, 1925. Since tha t first performance, Joy Night has become one of the highlights of the L.H.S. season under the sponsorship of the student council. In the past years t here have been colorful Joy Night themes sgch as a New York P ier, the Latin quar ter in P aris, on the beach at Waikiki, a circus, the moon, a recreation center at an army camp, and at op .a hotel in Rio. At the stµdent council meeting Wedn esday, February 20, the E. C. A. points allowed the Links staff were considered along with Joy Night. At the present t ime the Links board received eight E. C. A. points and the .staff, two points. H owever the Li~ks bourd n ow receives five hours credit, so it is believed' that if they also gef eight E. C. A. points then the credit re• ceived is t oo much. It is suggested that the amount of time spent outside of school on Links be compared with the amount of time the Advocate spends outside of schools in order to deten:J!ine what number of points would be .fair for the Links,
Investigate. E. C. A. Points. George Wilcox, student council president, instr ucted Marion Battey, member of the. council, to consult the Links and Advocate advisors and find out the number 'of hours put in out of class. She was to report to the council at the next meeting so t hat they may come to an early decision about the number of E. C. A. points the Links will receive in the future. If the council votes to change the points, then the proposal must go before the student affairs committees for approval. If passed, it will t ake effect next semester.
Lack· of Napkins Due to Shortages The present napkin shortage in the cafeteria is due to both paper and shipping shortages. The nap• kins being· used now are the folded, dispensary kind, but Mrs. Hilda Kargo, who is head of the cafeteria, says she expects the regular kind ·to be. put in use again soon. It seems there has been a car- ' load on_the way here from Kan· sas City since l ast December, but it has not yet arrived due to the fact that the railroad sides carloads of such articles in order to ship such things as fresh vegetables. All the napkins used so far this year are · those left from last year. She also explained that when paper mills are rationed on wood pulp, they use it to make the more expensive napkins which our cafeteria cannot afford. . However Mrs. Kargo . did ex• press a firm h ope of b eing able to obtain the regular u nfolded nap• kins in t he near future.

Nebraska Celebrates Seventy-ninth Year For the last 14 years, since March 1, 1932, Nebraska has formally celebrated her entry into the union as State Day. But even before March 1, 1867, when she became one of the United States, she had an exciting and dramatic background life. To begin the saga of Nebraska, the years must turn back to 1541, the date in which Coronda and his party of Spaniards crossed this territory and claimed it for Spain. In 1682, France also claimed Nebraska as her own. Both the Spaniards and Frenchmen tried to gain favor with the Indians here. England, however, had already claimed Nebraska before France, but as a result of the French-Indian war, Nebraska was giverl to Spain. At that time there were 40,000 Indians living in the territory. They belonged to seven different tribes and spoke three dictinct languages. In the year 1803, the Nebraska territory was sold by Napoleon Bonaparte, to the United States as part of the Louisiana Puro.hase. France had bought the land from Spain. At last, Nebraska came under the Stars and Stripes, its fourth flag. It t ook trials and bitter disputes between the North and South before a bill was passed in congress making Nebraska a territory. Finally, in 1867, President Andrew Johnson issued a proclamation making Nebraska a state on aMrch 1, 1867. How well do you know your Nebraska, though? Here's a chance to t est your knowledge of the state's history as it ~win ~·:::; il2to a !1ev.r year statehood : Nebraska received its name from the Otoe Indian name for the Platte river, "Nebrathka'', m eaning flat water. The first American expedition to visit Nebraska was the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804-1806. ' Nebraska is one of the few states bounded by six other states. Daviq Butler, of Pawnee City, was the first governor of the state. Nebraska territory was formed in 1854, by the Kansas- Nebraska bill, which was signed by President Franklin Pierce, May 30, 1854. Nebraska is the fifteenth state in area, with 77,520 square miles. Two buildings have served as capitols for the t erritorial government, and three as capitols for the st at e. Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue was the architect who designed N ebraska's new capitol, acclaimed one of the outstanding buildings of the world. The four state parks are located at Nebraska City, Grand Island, Chadron and Victoria Springs. There are 93 counties in Nebraska. State Day was originated by Mrs. G. H. Wentz, first state president of the Nebraska Congress of Parents and T eachers. This coming March 1, 1946, marks the 79th year of the state's entry into the union,. Truly, Nebraska has lived up to her motto, "Equality before the law."
Waste Containers Mean Exactly What They Are With the custodian shortage as it is, the custodians cannot be expected to handle the heavy job that has been thrown upon them. If you , the pupil of Lincoln high, would carry t hat candy wrapper, or whatever you have to throw away, a few feet farther and put it into a waste container, it would give a better impression of Lincoln high and its students t o visitors. Cluttered halls and school walks are a hazard to safety. When an orange peeling or wrapper is thrown on the floor it is the same as giving Mr. Accident another chance to claim a victim. So, for safer and bett er appearing halls and grounds, let's carry our waste mater ial a few feet farther and throw it into the provided containers.
BasketballTournamentGaod Chance tor Sportsmanship Mar ch sixth is t he starting date For the stat e tournament Visitors will be profuse At this "great, big" event. Because the city, Lincoln Is the "grand" host this year It is up to a ll of us To make ourselves quite clear, That we will be the perfect host :When all the teams play here .

Open Forum To the E ditor: Accorqing to one of the cheerleaders of Crete high school, Crete, Nebraska, there are mainly t hree essentials for a successful "pep" assembly. 1. A clever idea or theme. 2. Someone to work it out and put it over. 3. A student body which cooperates and enters· into the spirit of the occasion. If one of t hese th.tee essentials is lacking, a successful assembly cannot be expected. One of the first steps taken was to quiz two girl students and one b oy student who had representative opinion s on this subject. The girls suggested that the t eam be p ut up in front during the assemblies and make the student body see t he value of showing their ap preciation of the assemblies by r eally entering into the spirit of the occasion. The boy suggested that t he assemblies be longer and stress on the fact that better student co- operation is necessary. One of the members of the faculty was also asked what she believed would help make "pep" assemblies more successful. Her opinion was to h ave a larger "pep" club organization and an effort made on the part of the stude;1ts to learn all t he songs a nd yells. "' When asked her opinion, the cheerleader agreed heartily with the member of the faculty. I, as a student of Lincoln high school, agree with the faculty member and the cheerleader. It seems odd that for a student body as 1-::i.r g e e !== Lin~o l. n. h.igh's, _'\Ve can
boast of only sixty m embers in the P ep_r,ers organization. There are so ma ny Lincol n high sch ool girls w ho would like to be in the Peppers organization, but can't because of the limit of sixty memb ers. 1 believe tha t the r eal remedy for better "pep' assemblies is a larger and stronger or ganization behin d them.

As Tale of the Hartmans Is Unrolled Laughter -Is Heard From Auditorium If you were aware of the loud and hearty lau ghter issuing forth from the Lincoln high auditorium, Friday evening, February 22, its cause was the junior play, "And Came the Spring," a comedy of modern youth in three a cts by Marijane and Joseph Hayes. The audience was no doubt laughing at the escapades of Midge Hartman, played by Phyllis Haley, w ho spent her time "fixing" up othel'. people's lives. The wor d "fixing'', says Mr. Webster, m eans to put into a permanent state. It i s a good thing t hat this definition does not apply to Midge's case, for she would h a ve ruined m any person's happiness. Among her victims was Clancy, played by Dick Olney, whom she persuaded to go away on .a fishing t rip so that .Buzz Lindsay, Paul Johnston, could take . h is place caring for Mrs. Fields' flower s and th us earn some money for a long-cherished trumpet. Mrs. Fields was played by Jo Anne Weaver. Midge wanted Buzz to t ake her t o the dance Saturday night so she took her sist er's club funds to buy Buzz his trumpet. When Christine Myers, played by Alice Jo Smith, came to collect the mon ey, Virginia, Yolanda Catron, was left in a very embarrassing position . Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Hartman, played by Keith Mills a n d Dor othy Williams, r espectively, h ad their hands full calming Mr. a nd Mr s. Fields whose garden had been r uined by i nexp erienced Buzz . Mr. Fields, Richard Merritt, then called off a ver y important business deal w ith Mr. Ha:·tman. Carolyn Webster, P a tsy Baldwin , a sophist icated deb friend of Virginia's, does her pa rt to disrupt t he boy friend situation. She not only attracts Elliot Har tman, the stu dious brother who is never inter ested in girls, played by J im Tomasek, but also Keith Nolan, portrayed by Clifford Berggren

Cecil Stanley, state supervisor for distributive education, visited some of the distributive education classes Thursday, February 22. Just returned from the navy, he told of retail selling as it is in the South Pacific. He told of one grocery store in Manila that covered a ·full block. Although this was an open air store, flies and insects were not considered a problem. They were simply accepted as part of the grocery business. Mr. Stanley was a retail grocer in Havelock at one time. He also taught here at Lincoln high school before entering the Navy. .
Hair .. Styling is Important Factor Mr. Ben, local hairdresser, was the guest speaker at the Girl Reserves meeting February 11. He told the girls how to fix their hair becomingly according to the shapes of their faces. There are several types of faces, he stated, the round, triangle, inverted triangle, diamond . shape, oval and oblong. In each case there is a way that is more becoming than another, as he showed by a set of charts. "Often a simple hair-do is more flattering than a formal one," he said. '.!:'he American women try to create an illuswa cf an oval face by their hair-d~ while the· .C.'1inese women fix their hair so as to create the illusion of a round face to symbolize the moon. Mr. Ben demonstrated different ·points on three girls and also answered several questions as to the care and style of hair. A club supper was held Tuesday, February 19, at the Y.W.C.A. After the supper the committee chairmen met with their committees and elected a co-chairman and a secretary.

Janet· Meekin, home room 207, entered from North Platte high, North Platte, Nebraska. Her activities included membership in the Girl Reserves. Carl Aden, formerly of Chicago and Omaha hails from Omaha -Central, the most recent school he has attended. As Omaha was only a short stop, so to speak, in the travels of Carl most of his activities took place in Chicago. In high school at Chicago, Carl played trumpet in a six piece high school band, playing at school dances frequently. Also in Carl's activities was the leadership position in the Civil Air Patrol. He had been a member for two years. Cari plans to remaia i11 Liacoin for some time and to graduate from Lincoln high.
IJN THE CLASSES I Films, showing the steps in dressmaking, hints for. making buttons, buttonholes, hat trimming, and belts, were shown to members of Miss Mildred Kemp's 4 period home economics 3 class, February 18 and 19. Verb notebooks are in the making for Miss Annetta Sprung's French 2 classes. Advancing in work on verbs, this will soon be an interesting notebook. Simple and compound fractures are the topics being discussed in Carl W. Manthey's first aid classes. The most important thing to be remembered is to splint the broken bone before moving the injured persort, thus preventing further complications. Motion pictures were shown to all journalism classes and some English classes in room 306 on Friday, February 22. One was the story of the Chicago Tribune from the cutting of some 2,000,000 trees yearly at Shelter Bay and the making into paper, to the actual printing in the Tribune Towers building in Chicago. Processes of the paper make-up and actual printing were shown. The other picture shown was the story of a . modern newspaper in the city of
Sao Paulo, Brazil. The system of going to press and circulating newspapers is the same as any modern American newspaper. Miss Mildred Kemp's period 3 home economics class saw films Tuesday, February 19, on making rayon and one the making of shoes. Surgery was performed on two frogs February 188 in Carl Manthey's fourth period physiology 2 class. The object of the operation was to see if the hearts of the . frogs would beat in a salt solution after they had been cut away from all other parts of the body. After the heart had been removed, other parts of the frogs' body were inspected. Visiting the home of Miss Helen Wilson, LHS drawing teacher, was the experience of home economics and drawing students, Friday, February 15. Miss Wilson showed the students her art studio, which contained oils, pastels, and water colors of various titles. Experiences of her European trip and interior decoration were the topics of the afternoon. Preparation for sending entries to the Orchard-Wilhelm Art ex~ hibit in Omaha is under way in the art classes.
STUDENTS: We make the best photographs in Lincoln-as long as you are willing to let us tell it. Anyhow come in sometime and let us show you. Of course you seniors all have your graduation pictures now so the next thing will be wedding pictures. Don't forget us. We will help you through that ordeal.

Classroom fee collections are completed, but there are still a few not yet paid. Pupils who have not paid their fees will be excluded from fee classes until fee is paid or cause shown why it has not yet been paid. Fees are collected from pupils of Lincoln high school in some elective classes, so that needed supplies and laboratory materials may be directly supplied by the school, thus having them uniform and on hand when needed. This saves the pupils having to buy their individual sopplies which 50 often they could not obtain in small quantities, or would forget to bring to class, or in case of laboratory material could not obtain at all. In gymnasium classes clean towels are always available. Fees are payable in advance, but since there are changes in schedules being made t h e first two weeks of each semester, they are not stressed at that time. Fees are payable in the bookroom, but for the conv enience of the pupil and the teacher, the· bookroom clerk goes to the classroom to collect, first giving a written advance notice to the teacher so that she may announce it to her classes so that everyone will be prepared to pay his fee on that day. The pupil is given a receipt which he should keep as proof of paying, also in some ..cases a refund may be due h im, · in ; ~hich case the receipt is pre.sented at the bookroom where it -is... stamped on the back with a form .to be filled out and signed by the tf'acher, then returned to the · bookz:ebm· dor tht:f rtifll.nd.

Study of High School Papers Show Advocate to be One of the Largest High school newspapers from all over the state w ere examined and reported on in Miss Belle Farman's English 8 class last week. The majority of these papers have four pages and five columns while the Advocate boasts seven columns. Many papers from smaller towns are mimeographed. Prices of high school newspapers in Nebraska are· almost the same. The Advocate has one of t he largest staffs. Several papers contain no editorials and others have a very small amount of sports news. One whole page is taken up with advertisements in some papers, while others have none at all. The cartoon always at the top of page two in the Advocate is something most high school newspapers don't have. Unbeaten, unscored on, and untied is the superb football recor d of the Badgers of Valentine high school, Valentine, Nebraska. "The Badgers played eight games, being victorious in all fpr the first time since 1939," stated the Badger Digs, Valentine high's paper. Valentine took the North Central conference and is the only
high school in the state with such a record. Their t otal score for the season was 299. Kearney high school has a recreation center much like Lincoln's "High Spot," according to the Echo, t he school paper. It is called the "Rec'; and is open to the higl\,._school body on Friday and Saturday nights and after basketball games u ntil 11:00. Dance music is furnished by a nickelodeon and there are pool tables and other types of recreation a vailable for use. The South High Tooter, newspaper from Omaha South, r uns an interesting "Especially - for - the Males" column. In each issue under the heading, "Teen of the Week," it gives complete information about two girls, including their description, activities, how · they tlsually spend their evenings, and, most important of all, when and where they will be every n ight for one week. According to ·th e Benson High News, Omaha, Nebraska, t heir student council is starting a sale of Victory stamps and bonds, which will continue throughout the remaining school year.

Many Kinds of Characters or Squares Confront Hall Guards With Problems BY FRANK JACOBS. "Sorry, this is a closed corridor!" How many times have the students of L.H.S. heard t hat? Confronted by this barrier to t heir plans, many students follow the hall-guards' directions and get to tJ:i.eir destination by other m eans. SOME do. Others don't. Others won't give u p. F or instance, there is the little slinker, who, being of a short stature, literally slinks along the floor, against the lockers and in . and out of doors. He takes advantage cif t he hall guard when he or she is studying. Secondly, there is the brute. Nothing stops him. Like the mailman, not even snow, rain, h ail, sleet or hall guards will p revent him from completing his appointed rounds. He crashes on like a madman out of a horror movie. Then, there is the briber. He looks like Santa Claus loaded down with candy, gum and pass slips. He offers great temptation, especially if it is before lunch time and the hall · guard is hungry.
Cµtest car.ds .in,to_~ll
We mustn't forget the glamour girl who "gets by" on her looks. " Oh, you great big strong h andsome guardian of our corridors. What would w e do without your heroism?" she gushes. "You'll let ME by won't you?" She then walks on leaving the hall guard sitting there drooling. Then there is. the meek ·little chap who tells such a sad tale. "Honest," he w ails, "if you don't let . me pass my teacher'll whip me-sob-and give me a seven for the-sob-semester. P uh-leeze!" He really makes a pathetic picture, sobbing on t he hall guard's lap. The hall guard's eyes ar e so wet with tears that he usually can't see if the child sneaks on or not. The most common species however, is the sprint star. Ten feet away, he starts gaining speed until h~ is doing sixty as he passes the hall guard. His plans are many times thwarted though, if the hall guard should stick out his foot. There are other methods, such as h iding behind a passing teacher or blindfolding the hall guard, but these m ethods are very rude and so are rarely used. When walking down the hall · you don't ju'mp in fright, point your finger and scream, "Look! A , hall guard!" at the sight of one (do you?) You'll find that hall guards are normal, intelligent and interesting human beings. Just ask one.

ished the scheduled cage season with 20 games played and 20 victories. Considering the schedule the cagers had and the winning scores, the team should be regar ded as one of the greatest teams in Lincoln high's history. You'll find it's very unusual for a basketball team to win every game without a loss. There are few college teams who have not had at least one set back this year. If both Lincoln and Creighton Prep finish their schedules and the district tournam ent without a loss, and then go on to meet in the stat e tournament finals, t his column anticipates that the largest crowd ever to witness a high school basketball game at the coliseum will be on h and f or the Lincoln-Creigh ton Prep game. 0 0 I

5-•-t Fast Second Quarter. '.;.'he secon ::t quart er was fast, with both teams having plenty of shots. The Ulysses five was n ever more than four points behind except for a br ief period in the l ast quarter . They evened the ball game only t o see Lincoln's Stan Gerlach hit a long one which put Lincoln ahead 12-10 at the half. Ulysses started Kline, star player , who boasts a 17-point per game average, the second half in an attempt to gain victory. He had been out the first half because of a wrenched k nee. Midway in the period Kline sank a long one to tie t he game at 16 all. Stan <;J:er lach then hit two longs over to put Lincoln in the lead 20- 16 at the end of a hard fought ·thir d quarter. Thrilling Finish. With Ludwick and French leading t he way, the Junior Links p ulled ahead to a seven-point lead, the greatest they held during the game, with one minute to· play.

Film on Selling Shown D.E.A. "A Design for Selling" w as the title of the slide film presented by B. H. Eiting, manager of O'Shea Rogers Tractor and Equipment Co., at the D.E.A. meeting Friday, March 1. Survey, presentation, demonstration, and close are the four main stepi; in selling, as stated in the film. Salesmanship is helping people to buy intelligently and a salesman must combine advantages of the article with the prospect's needs in order to achieve this. The first five questions which usually enter the customer's mind are: "Why buy?", " What t ype?'', "Who from?", " What price?", arid " When buy?", but the three main decisions he must make are: "Do I need it?", "What type? ", and "Which one?" The real key in w inning over a prospect is by Epic. These letters stand for economy, price, insur ance, comfort and convenience. A salesman must convince. He must convince his customer of all these things. Mr. Eiting closed the meeting with five minute explanations regarding topics in the film.
L.H.S. Greenhouse Produces Many Different Types of Floivers for School Did you notice the bowls of snapdragons on cafeteria tables recently? or in the art classes? Although they were few, certainly their gay colors must have reminded many that spring is on her way. But the most wonderful fact is that Lincoln high produced them! Nature 'carrie~ on her work here in probably the warmest, sunniest, most pleasant room in the whole school, the greenhouse on fourth floor, As. one steps inside, the smell of · warm, rich earth and heavy fragrance greets him, for here is nature's · workshop, . ·the community of green c;:arries on its life cycle daily. Delicate verbenas with their soft pink blooms offer great contrast to the stiff prickling cactus or wild red Bougainvillaea blossoms. Some of the more unusual p,lans are palms, banana and r'ub· ber plants, the nicatina, a flow-
ering t obacco plant and the Venus flytrap. The latter is one of the three types of insect eaters. Their small thorns capture the unsuspecting victims. B~(!use it usu ally grows in swamp lands it is now growing in a glass box in very moist soil and covered so that very little sunlight can reach it. A few better known plants include geraniums, painted daisies, nasturti'ums, snapdragons, petunias and the dusty miller. All these are provided by a . school b oar d appropriation and take_r. care of by Miss Mary N. Bardwell. During the summer, the custodial ser vice cares for the plants. The leaves, 'f lowers, roots and stems are used for biology classes while the blooms are often used for brightening the cafeteria. Much care and help are given the young seedlings through their developing stages by Miss Bardwell and the custodian.

Physical Plant Included in School Study Using Score Pamphlet Which Was Developed At Ohio University Finding facts about the physical plants is one object of the co-operative study of all Lincoln public schools now in progr ess. The executive commit tee composed of Miss Esther A n derson, principal of Park school; Wayne Booth, foreman of heating a nd ventilation; Dr. Calvin Grieder, department of education, University of Colorado, consultant in this area; and A. H . Miller, supervisor of industrial a rt s; are checking each of the buildings. They evaluate the building, and make a survey of ea ch school room, using a score pamphlet developed at Ohio state univer sity. The schools are scored on a basis of 1,000 p oints. S ome of t he things scored ar e as follows: location of school ; size and form of plot; landscaping; economy of plan; structural material; whether building is fir eproof; w hether there ar e adequate stai r -..v ays , .t e l e pha.n.G: radio ,_ .cl ock,
program and motion pict ures; whether there is plent y ol n atural light and art ificial light, adequate blackboard, bulletin board, auditorium, stage, closets for stor age and gymnasium, dressing rooms and shower rooms. They sur vey the clinic, shop, and h om e economics r oofrls for size a nd v ent ilation. They also . check the cafeteria as to t he arrangement. The committee is now making a study of elementary s chools a nd their r elation to existing and proposed major streets. They are also making a check of all buildin g per mits issued since 1920, w hich will show the direction in w hich the city is growing, and are making a survey on all recreational facilities for each school and eciuipment in t he Lincoln parks.

Juvenile Delinquency Must Be Combated
Einstein Angledome
"Juvenile Delinquecy!" Two simple words, but just how many of you teen-agers actually know what they mean? They must be important if editors of America's leading newspapers plaster them all over their front pages, and, they eventually become the evening's topic on "Town Meeting" of the air. A probe into Noah Webster's dictionary reveals that "delinquency" is a failure to do what one ought to do; a violation of duty. A majority of you will, no doubt, say that this does not apply to you. Probably it doesn't, but still this juvenile delinquency continues and it involves boys and girls of your age. Therefore, you should know what all this talk is about. The good boys and girls in America outnumber the bad, but still the greatest percentage of crimes in this country for any single age group are committed by seventeen-year-olds. According to the figures given on the Town Meeting of the air and taken down b~ pupils in Miss Alice Beynon's office traini~g class, fifteen percent of all murrlers, sixtytwo per cent of dl car thefts, and thirty-six per cent of our robberies are committed by those under twenty-one years of age. Arrest of girls under eighteen has increased 198 per cent betwen 1938 and 1945. Delinquency for boys reveals that seventy-two per cent assault and 10 per cent drunkenness ranks highest with those under eighteen years. Edgar J. Hoover, of the ·F. B. I., has revealed the astounding facts that one out of every twenty-three juveniles has a criminal record. Are parents or society responsible for jm·enile crimes? Every hour of every day t he things the parents approve or don't a pprO\·e h elp to influence their children. If the parents break the law, they also encourage law breaking. If they support undesirable book5 and motion pictures, they ar e doing thei:" part in promoting juvenile crime. In Washington, D. C., a panel for juvenil<> problems has ben formed with Presiden: H arry Truman. Leaving their homes, mostI~ in bad weather , prominent m en journeyed to ~.,vashington to join in the panel. F ather Flanagan, from Nebraska's Bov's T ow11, was one of the well-known repres entatives in this pa nel who also appear ed on the Tmvn meting, Father F lanagan has often made the statement that there is no b ad boy. To quote him, "\Vhat is wrong with society? Have you ever considered the kind of homes our d elinquents come from? Disrupted and broken homes ! h1 the backgr ound of unfortunate boys and girls you will find a background of sad neglect. P ar ents have been to busy earning a living or striving for a higher place in society. Can w e expect first-class citizens from the lowest class of homes? My motto is that t here are no bad boys, only bad parents. Youngst ers n eed to be backed by normal family surroundings and good examples. "Punishing will not eliminate their mistakes. Their mistakes must be pointed out t o them and they must be shown the right way. This can be done by putting the r esponsibility where it belongs; on parents ana society." In a survey among 400 children, t he ones questioned said that n o place t o play came first in contributing t o juvenile delinquency. The family came second. Delinquency seems to be most prevalent in low income and minority groups. Edgar J. Hoover is strongly in favor of a large sports program t o combat delinquency. H e feels that too many girls and boys are only wat chers when they should be in winn ing the game. Think of children as people. Only when w e begin to give each boy a chance to rise on his own m er its will we be about to get at the bottom of juvenile delinquency. Learning how to live is a problem of America today.

Open Forum To the Editor: I am an_interested spectator at all of Lincoln high school's basketball games and it has been noted that only about the first eight players have uniforms. The remaining personnel are draped with whatever is handy, each with a different type of pants, shirt and what have you. It does appear that a . school as big as Lincoln high should provide a team which usually ranks · with the first five of the state, enough uniforms for fifteen boys. I'm sur e t hat it would add much to the prestige of the school as well as the administration to have the entire squad u niformed alike. I realize clothing shortages have been and still may be acute, but a n effort should be made to supply the boys with the proper attire. Needless to say the boy feels· out of place wearing a completely different and indistinguishable uniform from the other four b9ys on the court. If thirt y-three boys can be clothed alike in football, fifteen boys can and should be clothed a like in basketball. The scanties won't take too m uch from t he stocking and would be greatly appreciated by both the athlete and the spectat or. I urge that the matter be given the utmost consideration as soon as possible so that Lincoln can tilk e, the floor in the state tourney with1 an air or pride due it. Yours :;inccrcly, DON BRYANT.

Delores Heitkotter, 17-year- old senior at L. H_S., has experienced real thrills as a war plant worker. One experience was the most interesting of all. It was the night when explosives were expected to b e delivered promptly at 7:30. !lecause two of the guards had not yet shown up, and two had gone home for dinner, only two were left t o guard the plant. Delores noticed a man trying to blow up these explosives while the guard was not watching and prevented this by hitting the man over the h ead with a monkey wrench.

exciting novel abou t an other terrible era in history not unlike our own. Douglas tells of t he life of a typical family, which consists of Marcus Lucan Gallio, his daughter, Lu cia, and his son, Ma rcellus, living during the first century in the Roman Empire. · The author vividly pictures what happened to the robe tha t t he Roman soldiers gambled for it while its owner was dying on a cross and what an important part the Tribune, . Marcellus Galliox, plays in obtaining the precious object, only to be put to death for being a follower of Jesus. To produce this story, Douglas made extensive inquiries into the career of the Man of Galilee and the group of imn:ortals who found his friendship of more value than their blood. The romantic end is held up by Marcellus and Dia na, a princess, who is being prevented from gaining the throne. She shares her lover's death at the climax of t he book . I really believe that the book is an excellent piece of art and should be on everyone's "must list." The story does not consist wholly of religious ideas and people. The plot is well fo rmed and the character s are excellently described and outstanding.

Juvenile Matron of Lincoln Believes Most Troublesome Age Group is 17 Age group of 17 is the most troublesome year, according to Miss Hulda Stahnke, juvenile matron of Lincoln. "Stealing is t he most frequent crime committed by ju veniles/' she added. . Miss Stahnke continued by saying, "The attitude taken by the youths w hen caught is usually normal and rarely do t hey resist being taken." Mrs. Morning w orks with the family and intet ests the child in artful things where there has been a crime committed. Punishment is only in severe cases. " We have mbre cases during summer vacation than in the winter," said Miss Stahnke, "and the delinquents come from all parts of town." Miss Stahnke believes there were more delinquents in the war years because homes were uprooted and parents were working all hours. In all cases in Lincoln but two, the parents were separ at ed or both were working. She also believes that t her e
Barbara Ebright Receives Award Barbara Ebright, senior, has received a $125 scholarship to St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minnesota. The scholarship provides the tuition for one semester of t he next year, 1946- 47. The scholarship is given on t he basis of the rank a student h olds in bis gradua ting class, T he hono1· usually goes to the stu dent who ranks first in scholarship, but in case of a large graduating class, he must rarik among the ten highest. Barbara ranks between the fifth and tenth in her class. The exact rank could not be given u ntil the final grades of this semester are received. She received the scholarship February 14, and has sent in h er preliminary application for attend ance at the college in Minnesota for t he fall term.
Veterans Entertained By Lincoln High Pupils Men in the Veteran's hospital were entertained by a show directed by Delores Heitkotter, a senior , with the assistance of Roberta Goodman, senior. Thirtyseven persons participated i ncluding make-up ar tists. It was given March 1. There were poems, tap-dancing, singing, toe dancing, a minstrel show and several sketches. The cast included Roberta Goodmap, Ivan Doran, Marlyn. Heer mann, Dorothy Wimmer, Kathleen Bish, Fern Por ter, Maxine Baginrief, Shirley Rockstrom, Virginia Friesman, Lola Bean and Lois Johnson. Make-up artists were Pat Martin, Dorothy Hansen, Lorraine Williams, Ruth Fastenou, Kath·. r yn Snyder, Bernetta Leyden, Lynore .Koch, Patt y Delaney, Romona Dirks, Patty Borden and Betty Bowen. A similar show was given November 11 at the Orthopedic hospital when Robert Goodman p r esented a war bond to a cr ippled boy.
Nebraska Weather Can Fool Anyone A Lincoln h igh b oy who thought spring had come the other day, decided to take a swim in the creek. He dived from the canyon wall without even noticing that a draught ha d dried up a ll the water from the stream. As h e left the cliff, he was horrified to see the rough, rocky, dry creek bed, waiting to receive h im. About that time, however, came a sudden shower, t he creek rose quickly and he l anded in eight feet of water. He started to swim ashore when it became a blizzard and the water froze him fast in the ice. Before he ·h ad time to worry about h is predicament, the sun shone brightly, melted the"ice and the only ill effects suffered by our hero, was that his shoulders were blistered before he could swim ashore and put his shirt on.
Question of the Week Knowing that high school students of today long to µi.eet the brilliant and intellectual personages of the time, this question was asker, " If you had your choice to meet any one person in the world, whom would you choose?'.' Betty Guidinger: Smoe, but he's always just been here! · Dick Means: Somebody taller than "Shorty" Pierce. P at P rice: Red Skelton-love that man! Don Gish: Einstein (Einstein, that is.)

would be more harm done by publication of the delinquent's names in the papers than by nonpublication_ "There are more delinquent parents than children," declared Miss Stahnke. She ended by saying, "J uvenile delinquency can be prevented · only by cutting out dr inking and quitting bad company." Another member of the police department, Mrs. Georgia Walker Schmuller, graduate of Lincoln high in 1940 and graduate of the University of Nebr aska in 1944, majored in sociology and psychology in university. While her husband is overseas she is working as a night policewoman. Mrs. Schmuller is one of the t wo night pplice women in Lincoln . They work with two officers on the squad.

Shingebiss, 'Just Call Me Quack' Visits Classes
Be their owners kind or ruthless, I think yellow p ant s are useless, If they're clean, they're not so bad, But if they're clean, they won't be had. I'd just as soon be tailed or horned As seen in yellow p ants adorned, ,. Pants which are always extremely inky, Sometimes odorless, sometimes stinky. Why do people spend their time Buying pants which show t he grime, Pants w hich claim the color of squash, Always dirty or in the wash! Worse than Hitler's; and Rudolph Hesse's I consider these dirty m esses. By Don Gish.
Admidst the usual noises h eard in 400 were "quacks" and "peeps" on Tuesday, February 26. You ask the reason? Why, Shingebiss was here as well as a number of baby chicks. Yes, Shingebiss, a pet mallard duck owned by the children of J. D. Young, head of the science department in Lincoln high, visited Miss Ll;ICY Geiger's biolody 2 classes, now studying conservation of wild life, mainly birds. When interviewed, S hingebiss responded very cordially, "I do not know when I was born, but for as long as I can remember I've made my n est at the Youngs'. I was ill when they found me, and they nursed me back to health." To do this, they put Shingebiss on a hot wat er bottle and for several days, kept it filled with warm water. At any rate, Shingebiss is home n ow and he is determined n ever to leave there again. He also a dvises other ducks never to visit biology classes. Shingebiss is a wild duck who~e name originated from a Chippewa Indian fairy tale which portrays similar experiences about a du c;k.
Slight Changes In Styles Noticeable Now the war is over and the fashions which have been frozen to skirts and sweaters for t een ager s the last four years ar e beginning to defreeze. High school girls are still wearing skirts and sweaters of course, but e ach ·day a slight .change b ecomes more noticeabl~- Some girls have been seen lately in some cleverly designed two piece dresses. Many other girls are wearing blazer suits or "Ike" Eisenhower battle jackets. Still others h ave conver ted t o just blouses with their wool skirts. A number of teen ma,ga?:ines have been featuring belts for sloppy swea ters, but as · yet few girls in the middle west have adopted the idea. Sweaters and skirts still remain · queens of the teens though, especially those loud boys' sweaters, and since the change will be so gradual, many t eens will probably still be wearing sloppy :sweaters three or four years from now.

THE :ADVOCATE
:WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1946
Advocate, Links Work-U. N. Book Illustrations and material from the Advocate and the Links have been used in a new publication put out by the University of Nebraska school of journalism. It is a booklet on "How to Edit a High School Paper and get out The Year Book." Some of the suggestions and contributions came from Miss Belle Farman. A reproduction of the Fiftieth anniversary edition of the Advocate appears in the booklet along with numerous other pictures of high school papers. A picture of the 1942 Links was used for illustrations of year books. Lincoln high school along with all high schools in the state received a copy of the publication.
"Here let the scribes beware of making mistakes through haste." This quotation is from the cover of the latest Style Book of the Omaha Tech News, recently received by the Advocate. The two schools are exchanging each others style cards. The Advocate is sending the L.H.S. style card to the Tech News as soon as the latest edition is off the press. The Tech· style book is an attractive, rectangular, book giving all of the needed information for the encouragement and enlightenment of the journalists and printers.

Former Student Presents Samples During his recent visit to Lincoln high, former Sgt, William "Billy" Goggins presented Mrs. Ruth Dodge with a few samples of the intricate work he did in The United States Army Air Force. Maps of Japan and photographs were included in the samples. Mr. Goggins was interested in art very early in his schooling. Studying under Miss Helen Wilson and Miss Gladys Dana he began doing some cartoon work and drew "Bobolinks," an Advocate cartoon;in 1939. He graduated in 1940 and later joined the U.S. A. A. F. He ran a reproduction outfit at the Fairmont Air Base and later transferred to Intelligence. He drew what he called "Hush Hush posters" familiar to many during the war. One in particular was the Japanese with the big ear. William was in Tinian and served one and one-half years overseas. He was discharged .December 31, 1945. He said, "I learned more history of Japan in that time than I ever did of the U. S." He is living in Lincoln at present and plans to go into advertising.

Swimmers Sink Boys Town Again By Jean Steven This is "so-long" from your current girls sports writer, but first, a little news about what's doing in the girls gymnasium this week. Champion of this semester in table tennis singles is Lorraine Williams, who defeated Eleanor Miller in the finals. In the third round, played last Thursday after school, Marian Ekblad and Gladys Robertson also won; then were defeated in the next round by the finalists. For the doubles, Lorene Hoschele and Mirian Sinner and Doris Gillett and Elsie Schaefer were the winners in the games last week. "The water is fine and so is thine," is the attitude of Miss Lillian Story's swimming classes. They are in the process of learning the breast stroke. Miss Helen Miller's gymnasium classes have started their class round robin basketball tournament. It will last for two weeks. The junior B team and the junior C team competed last week and the final score was 13-17 in favor of the C team. The happy captain is Janet Carr and her team mates are Ruth Bergstraesser, Valoy Brown, Dorothy Estes, Bernice Fox, La Dean Graham, Eleanor Miller, Georgia Moren, Evelyn Pocbop, Dorcas Pitney, Betty Ray, Elaine Robinson, Elsie Schaeffer, Margie Prohaska and Margaret Ziasmaster. Those on the losing side are Captain Jackie Boeka, Beverly Burke, Pat Burke, Evelyn Dahaarsh, Annaliese Dietz, Marian Ekblad, Helen Kehling, Lou McConnell, Betty Olson, Mary Peck, Mildred Rice, Barbara Shively, Betty Smith and Beverly Thompsen. Phyllis Penton was time keeper, Shirley Meyer kept the score and Miss Story was the referee. Three cheers for Miss Story! ! !
Swimming Meet Called March 16 First state invitational swimming meet since the war, will be held at the University of Nebraska swimming pool Saturday, March 16. A team will be entered by Warren Emery, Lincoln high swimming coach. Team entries from Boys Town and Omaha Tech are also assured, while several more teams may participate and numerous single entries are anticipated. Lincoln, in four meets this year, has dropped two contests to Omaha Tech by 37-29 and 36-30, and has trimmed Boys Town twice, 58-8 and 49-17. Upsetting Tech and walking off with championship honors -are the goals of the Links who will probably not be in any more meets until that time.

Coach Worrall used all his ~ubs as the Reserves' air-tight defense held the sophomores to only five field goals, anly two in the first half. The sophomores outscored the reserves from the free-throw line caging 12 to the Junior Links nine.

.___By-Jerry-Map-esEffectively immediately, the L. H. S. cindermen will occupy the spotlight in this column for a few weeks to come. First on the list of victims is Don Bryant, ace milei:. Bryant, a junior, lettered last year and was one of the mainstays of Coach Ralph Beechner's cinder-kickers. Last year in the Lincoln invitational, Doµ placed second, with Northeast's veteran, Wayne Sack, setting the pace. In the Columbus invitational, be was edged by Martin, Omaha Benson. At Nebraska City, Don again took a second, and went on to the Missouri Valley meet where he broke the tape in the number one spot. Don ran in the state meet where he .P ulled down a third place. Since Don made such a good showing last year, much can be expected from him in relation to making thOSfi! valuable points in track meets.
Lincoln has won the state basketball championship, but according to the way some persons figure, it will next week. Lincoln has never relinquished the state title for more than two seasons. In other words, Lincoln bas won the crown at least every three years. The state tournament next week happens to fall on that third year. When Lincoln enters district . tournament competition tomorrow night against Beatrice, it will loom as a state finalist with Creighton Prep. Altho both teams are undefeated up to this. date, it appears that maybe they had better watch themselves closely since every district and state tournament team they meet will be laying for them in hopes to enter both Lincoln and Creighton Prep in the defeated column. Last week several essential conference cage games were staged. Among them were the NortheastFairbury, and the ScottsbluffColumbus game. Northeast gained the Mid-East conference championship by trouncing a badly outclassed Fairbury quintet, 50-22. Scottsbluff finally defeated Columbus, 54-35 for the Big Ten basketball championship after Columbus had staged a torrid rally which brought the team from a 30-16 half time score to a count of 31-29. Other Prep scores include. Omaha South SS, Omah& Central 17. Creighton Prep SS, Omaha North 23. Lexington 40, Gothenburg 29. Boys Town ~7. Curtis 19. Omaha Benson 29, Omah& .Tech 17.
Weather such as we had last weekend ·means only one thing, that it won't be long before outdoor sports will take their place. With only two weeks of basketball and a state swimming meet left, sports such as spring football, track, golf, tennis and. baseball will again take their turn as top , sports of its season. Incidentally it has been rumored that spring football training will begin either this week ot next week. The World Herald's ten state prep teams are as follows~ : 1-2. Lincoln, Creighton Prep. 3. Omaha Benson. 4-5. Omaha North, Omaha So. 6. Scottsbluff. 7. Northeast. 8. Columbus. 9. Norfolk. 10. Fremont.
Accounting for their twentieth victory and an undefeated season, the Lincoln high cagers routed the Norfolk Panthers Friday night on the Whittier junior high maples by a convincing 31-12 score. Although Norfolk sank the first basket and held the Links at a 2-2 count for the first four min· utes of the game, it was not able to stay with the terrific pace set by Lincol~. Led by Deffenbaugh with six points, the Reef and Black managed to jump into a 7-5 first quarter lead. With: two minutes gone in the second canto, the Links held a 13-5 count on a pivot shot by Pierce and set shots by Deffenbaugh and Bergquist. Lincoln kept up the scoring spree and at half time the score was 20-9. • After intermission, both teams settled down to a tight defensive game, but the Red and Black were still the masters as they set up , two baskets for a 24-9 lead midway in the quarter. Fender and Pilger were the lone Norfolk scorers in the quarter, with a gift toss a piece. Lincoln tightened its de• fenses and was leading the Panthers 27-11 at the end of the third period. When the first five minutes of play in the final stanza had gone. by the Links were able to register only one point on Means' free throw. Wenke followed up with a beautiful drive-in shot and with two minutes left in the game the count was 30-12, Lincoln. Jack Deffenbaugh started Norfolk's worries with three baskets in the first quarter and before the half was over he had 9 counters to his credit. Pacing the way thru• out the game, Deffenbaugh accounted . for 12 tallies. Bergquist, Pierce and Means were also out· standing on defensive play as well as ·offense. Bergquist registered 6 points while Means and Pierce followed closely with 5 apiece. Pilger and Fender were the top performers from Norfolk. Fender played hard, clean ball throughout the game and also scored a, much needed four points. How• ever he relinquished scoring hon;ors to Pilger with two baske~ and three gift tosses for 7 coun;. ters. Summary:

Debate Squad Gives Opinion Before University Tournament Cliff Berggren, Ed Carter, George Cobel, Harold Davey, Paul Galter, Don Gish, Roger Hancock and Forrest Mozer are the boys who make up the Lincoln high debate squad. How they became debaters was the question a reporter asked each. Don Gish decided on debate, "to bolster my deflated ego." Paul Galter wanted to improve his public speaking. Several boys were "talked into it" by a former debate student. Cliff Berggren "found out it was a lot of fun." He said, "You'll never be sorry you took debate, but don't expect to come out half as sane as when you went in." Along these same lines Ed Carter gave out with a commercial, "Do you feel rundown? Overworked? Tired? Then don't take debate because you have already achieved its ultimate goal." Ed's father is a judge but "Miss Jenkins' radiant personality just drew me into her class." Use Technique to Argue All the boys use their debate technique in arguments. Roger H ancock volunteered, "After debate I can outshout everybody in my family." George Cobel uses his arguing with Mrs. Ruth Dodge. Forrest Mozer absolutely declared that he is always good at ' arguments. As for Harold Davey-well, to quote, "I argue a l ot. I think I win; they think they win." 'rhrough their various remarks, don't get the idea that these bpys dislike debate or take it lightly. On the contrary- they spend many hours on research work; making up new cases, filling in holes in old ones, and gathering new material and ideas. Only one m ember of the squad has taken English 18. He is George Cobel, a senior. The other boys have participated in interclass debates and several have gone to the various tournaments. Clifford Berggren, Harold Davey, Paul Galter and Forrest Mozer h ave not been members of the regular squad, but expect to participate in the Nebraska university tournament for high school debaters. Harry Davi~ was cin the squad• l ast semester, but has since enlisted in the navy.
Mrs. Blood, New Typing Teacher Mrs. Hermine Blood has taken a t eaching position in Lincoln high as a typing t eacher, replacing Mrs. Frances R ein, whose absence is due to ill health. Having taught at the University of Alabama before coming to Lincoln, Mr s. Blood said that pupils here had been very friendly and nice, but were much noisier than college students . "There is no discipline problem at all in college," she declared. Mrs. Blood's husband is · studyfor his Ph.D. degree at the University of Nebraska. For recreation, Mrs. Blood enjoys a good game of golf.

Those of you who think you k now everything and need no further education but still have to go to school, move to M exico where a n education is not compulsory. Only the children whose parents have ambitions for them, go to school. Since there "is no heat in the buildings arid it often gets chilly in the winter, students go . to school dur ing t he summer and only for a few hours a day. Boys a nd girls attend at separate places. Promenading around the city squarP. is the way boys and girls ml:let each other. The b oys walk in one direction on· the inside while the girls walk on the side n earest the street going the opposite way. The girls are dressed u p, even with hose and dress shoes, w hile the b oys have on suits and have their h air combed neatly. Usually they start to p romenade when they are fifteen years old a nd a few (still unmarried) promenade when they are thirtyfive or forty year s old. As the custom goes, the boy, when h e sees a girl that appeals to his
taste, smiles at her. The n ext· time around if the feeling is mu• tual, the girl smiles back; and on the third time they m eet, the boy will walk with the girl. Some will" sit on the benches around the square and converse or go elsewhere. When the boy takes the girl home, her parents look him over. If he seems suitable to them, he may enter the house. Always ch aperoned by their par ents, one night they will spend the evening at her house, the n ext at his. To see if they really like ea ch other, t hey are separated for a month. After that period, if t he feeling is still the same, their courtship continues for three years, after which, they may marry, This custom may not be followed to the extent that it was previously, but the promenade still ex ists in all Mexican towns. Since the middle class of people in Mexico is very small, the people are either well-to-do or poor. The children who do not. have the privilege of an education, work in , factories, making rugs, tile, jewelry, pottery and other things.

Privations Are Eased With Our Few Cents Waste of paper, pencils, chalk and books from just one American school such as Lincoln high would furnish the material needed for many schools in war-torn Europe. In digesting this fact, we realize how lucky we are even to have the energy .to come to school, and to be able to learn after we get here. In Europe, children of six years of age are two inches shorter than four years ago, and children of 13 weigh 13% pounds less. A large percentage of 20-year-olds are pre-tubercular. Children over there are not developing properly, and it takes them twice the time to learn as it did before the war. Teachers are provided with one book and a tiny piece of chalk for a whole class ; only half the children have pencils, and they are forced to use rough pieces of slate from old roofs to serve as school slates. Their schools are mere shells of buildings. In such conditions as these, after the long years of privation, children who are old beyond their years, with the worries of oldsters, prod through a school day-dull, inert. Many individuals, classes, schools and groups in the United States are adopting classes like these over there, supplying them with the bare necesities; towels, tooth brushes, needles, thread, household utensils and above all, soap. During the war their soap was something that was not like soap at all, irritating the skin without even cleansing it. When we gave to the Red Cross, we were giving help to people under these same conditions. It helps us to, know that in giving a few cents, we are giving to a child the right to wash his face, brush his teeth, or to write his lesson on a piece of paper.
Lincoln Lockers Worse Than McGee's Closet What did you notice about 1our locker
as you approached it this morning? Many lockers are marked up with chalk, lipstick and pencils. This detract s imme nsely froth. t he general appearance of the halls of L.H.S. When you opened your locker did books, papers, mittens, old lunches, scarves, and maybe even articles of clothing fall in your fp.ce? Many lockers in Lincoln high could pass as a double of "Fibber McGee's closet." It would t a ke only a few minutes to clean off the outside of a locker. If students would remember to take scarves, sweat ers and books home when they're finished with t hem, that in itself would keep the insides cf the lockers much neater . Students should
also throw old lunches and paper away before they are allowed to accumulate. Try to remember to keep your locker clean on the inside and out. Help to improve the appearance of your high school.
Drivers Of Vehicles Practice Safety Always Two-hundred-nine persons were killed in auto accidents in Nebraska last year, according to the records of the state highway patrol. Careless driving was the cause of many of t hese accidents. Also to blame, were overage tires, cars not kept in good mechanical condition and inexperienced drivers. Two traffic fataities in Lincoln this year JShould be taken by each driver as a reminder that careful driving will pay dividends in ives saved. Safety ~eek should l;>e every week for every driver of any vehicle.
Gum Seems WonderfulRefrain While Reciting Gum doe:s seem wonderful to those who chew it, but not to those find it sticking under school desks or feel it pasting them to the hall floor. Why not use the wast e basket for disposing of your gum, or bett er still, why not wait until you are outside of the school building to indulge in that gum chewing, because it is annoying to hard-working students. Refrain from it while you are recit ing.

Former Red Cross Worker, Helen Becker, L.H.S. Substitute, Relates War Experiences "It's good to be back t eaching," says Miss Helen Becker, Red Cross recreational worker who recently returned from overseas. She was a substitute in room 208 during March 4, 5 and 6. She feels that the best part of going away is being able to return to her profession. Before going into Red Cross, service, Miss Becker taught in the English department at Northeast high. During the war she was with the 241st General Hospital division of the Red Cross. She received her training at Camp Barkley, Texas, and then went overseas on the lux ury liner, "Ile de France." On board were about 15,000 persons including Army personnel, three general hospital divisions, and infantry. Landing at Scotland, then spending six weeks in England, she crossed into France on New Year's E ve. Her unit set up operation in northeast France about thirty miles from Rennes. This w as at the time of th e Battle of the Bulge. The 241st general hospital division was located there for six months. After V- E day they were moved into Belgium and Miss Becker
was processed for a move to the Pacific. However, before they sailed, Japa n surrendered and their orders were frozen. "We already had one foot on the boat," she says. "Our vehi' cles were already there." The orders were changed to Paris where they set up their headquarters from September to January 1, of this year. When the division she was with broke up, Miss Becker was permitted to come home. While in P aris · the hospital maintained beds for 1.500 patients, so, as she says, "We spread ourselves pretty thin." The division also maintained a craft shop, a photography dark room, a lounge, a library and game room with pool and ping-pong tables for the convalescent patients. Home services such as getting information from home to the boys wer e also established· for all service men in the vicinity. Across from her division was the coffeedonut service club with which Miss Becker often helped. The hospital was never closer than forty m iles from the front, but she, helrself, was within two blocks from the fighting lines in Cologne, Germany, about the first

Navy Serviceman R e-enters L.H.S. After 3 Years "After three years and four months in the navy, high school naturally seems rather unexciting," stated Ed Elston, who has 1,400 hours in the air, 1,200 of them being combat flying. Ed took part in seven major battles and campaigns, and has been in such places as the Fiji Islands, Guadalcanal, New Guinea, and the Dut ch ·East Indies. Even so, he says that h is most exciting experience w as leaving the Philippin es to fly back to the United States. Ed was .an aviation ordinance man, second class. He enter ed Lincoln high March 5, 1946, as a senior, to take up w here he left off in 1942. Ed pl ans to attend Purdue university w her e he will take up aeronautics.
Question of the Week Thinking of all the possible questions to put to the cagey kids of L.H.S., this (ahem!) conclusion was reached. (Naturally you know the answer .) "If you had an Ornithorhynchus, what would you do with it?" P hyl Cone: "Don't t ell me your troubles, I'm not your grandmother." J erry Mapes: "I'd cut its finger nails, comb its hair , and p ut it in the same cage with my xrnyophus." June Fislar : "I'd run away from it." Bill Kimball: "I'd put it in a _vase and water it." Bev Thompsen: "I'd grab it befor e anyone else got it." Bob Wiley: "I'd t ak e it home, fry it, and eat it." Tish Swanson: "Write a book about it."
Herb Gish: "I'd try giving it to Mary Alice." Betty Bloss: "Frame it and hang it in my Rogue's gallery (senior pies!)." Virg Reigert: "Hold it over a flame and watch it change color ." Mary Gibson: "I'd look it up in the phone book and then call for an appointment." Mary Lou Graham: "I'd hang it m my Chd stmas tree." Nancy Glynn: "Put it in a yumyum a nd hope it doesn't bite back." Shirley Seright: "Please, give it to Dick Russell as a nickname for Christmas!" And now you would like to know what an Ornithorhynchus is.• It's a duckbill, a furry a nimal w hich has a beak like a duck and it comes from Austr alia.
of April. Here, there was one last pocket of German resistance on one side of the river. The Germans were trapped and mere·lY using up their last ammunition. One of the guards took them up to the tower of Cologne cathedral where they looked out a small hole, since they could not be seen in the open. From there theY; could see the Germans and our . soldiers fighting on both banks of the river. When she was there the cathedral was nearly t he only building remaining intact. Dur ing the processing time, Miss Becker was given a sevenday leave to Switzerland. She feels that this was one of the most delightful w eeks she has ever spent. "The contrast was very great," she commented. "Fra nce and Germany ha d been bombed, the surroundings were dirty and the peo~ ple were bad off, while in Switzerland everything was clean, t he scenery beautiful, and the people well fed and clothed." To close the interview, Miss Becker said she had had a very pleasant few days here at Lincoln high a!ld that the students' co-operatign with her was very good.
Between the Book Ends By JANET McDONALD. "Young Voices" is t he title of one of the n ewest an d m ost in-
teresting books in the Lincoln high library this semester. It is a collection of selected Scholastic magazine awards for t he last quarter century. It includes ma ny poems, bits of free verse and short stories and essays. The book is one of the examples of the uniq ue advantages and privileges we Americans have for expressing our own opinions even at a youthful a ge. P erhaps we even more-so express our own thoughts in poems and such, than we do in our t alk and discussions. We are always wondering w hat our folks did and thought at our ages and this book tells us, but not only does it tell us their opinions, it gives us a better idea of what our own generation is thinking. Because the book is written by author s of our own ages, it is in our own style a nd written to' suit our tast es. The first section is called "Salad Days" and includes literary awards from 1926- 1930, t he second division is entitled "The Lean Year s" (1931-1935 ), then there is what is called "The Interval" from 19361940 and following this "The Conflict" (1941- 1945). Each of these trends shows a definite influence of the current authors, the na tion's conditions, and the facts 'n' fancies of the · times. In general, though, the book is youthful and humorous a,nd most fascinating. Edna Lee Booker, author of "News Is My Job," has just given us another thrilling novel, "Flight From China." It ii> t he story of her own life as a foreign correspondent and resident of Chin a. She went to China in the early 1920's as an International News Service correspondent. In Shanghai, which she describes a s a very exotic city including small parts of London, Paris and New York with a western a ccent, she met her husband, J ohn S. Porter. The story tells of the Chinese revolution, of her newspaper work and many more exciting details before the Japanese a ttacked. Miss Booker also tells of how Japan was constantly preparing to a ttack China, weakening her within. Finally in 1940, all American women and children were forced to leaye Shanghai. Mrs . Porter and her daughter moved to a beautiful North China seaside resor t. Her e they saw t he br utal treatment of the Chinese natives by the Japanese. At last they were given only four days to pack a nd flee to the United Stat es. Mr. Porter was interned in a J apanese· prison camp, as were all Americans who refused to collaborat e with the Japs. He tells
Request School Spirit for State Basket Tourney With state tournament a round the corner, all eyes turn to Lincoln high. Will they be state champions? The Links certainly have the team to win and we all know they will ba,ve the backing too. Along with this comes the eternal question of school spirit, sportsmanship, and appreciation of other teams. If, at games like these, any lack of sportsmanship is shown, it , is sometimes blamed on Lincoln because ours is such a large school and because a majority of the crowd is made up of Lincoln high students. This year,· as in years before, all students should watch their behavior so that nothing can be said against Lincoln's sportsmanship. All booing should be avoided as we all know this is very discourteous a nd can prove a serious handicap to the team. If, by chance, Lincoln should be eliminated from the t ournament we will naturally back Northeast and keep up the friendly spirit between the two schools. Let's all show everyone that this year as before Lincoln can play the perfect host. of his departing day for the interment camp. Many Chinese business men and friends of his loaded him up w ith cigars and as much food as he could carry. All the hardships he had to endure ar e written up in detaii'.until in 1943 when he was transported back to the United States. All through the story the love the Americans had for th!:ir Chinese servants and vice-versa i:s especially brought out. The book certainly gives one a new viewpoint on China.

Picture Typical • Pupil's Day Cooperative Study Surveys English, History Students A picture of how a typical pupil sperds a normal day, from the time he rises until he goes to bed, is the aim of a survey made Thursday by Dr. A. K. Loomis, consultant in the cooperative study of the Lincoln schools, and dit ector of the school of education at 'the University of Denver. Lincoln schools furnished t w o classes representing the sophomore, junior and senior grades. Classes Take Tests Seniors in Miss ·Winifred Mayhew's third period English 11 class .and Miss Sarah T. Muir 's fourth :Period English 11 class, sophomores in Alva Cavett's English 4 class, third period and Miss Margaret O'Rourke's fourth period English 4 class, and juniors in Mrs. Ruth Dodge's world histor y 2 class, second period and Mrs. Irma Coombs' third period world history 2 class, took the test. "How I Spent Yesterday" was written in narrative form and signed by number to make writing more spontaneous. Included Full Day The narrative included things the pupil did the day before, such as going to a show, reading a newspaper or magazine, listening to the radio, and recreational activities, clubs, or jobs he took part in between the close of school and the evening meal. Emphasis fell upon activities involving school, such as, what was personally done in each of the classes during the day and if any time was spent on studies during the evening.

all. It is necessary to have the money in hand before t he managers of the party can go ahead with their plans. Therefore it will be necessary for enough tickets to be purchased by Friday, March 22, to insure cost of orchestr a and the place. Anyone wishing to obtain a ticket may get it by paying 60 cents to the home room representative Thursday and Friday of this week. Miss · Gertrude Jones, one of the senior class sponsors, str essed that it would be best for each individual to buy his own ticket, and thus avoid the difficulty which occurred last year. This difficulty being that boys refused to buy tickets at that time because they did not know which giri they w ould want to ta~e.

Health Policy of L.H.S. Has All-Time High Record Pupils in Lincoln high who have been in Lincoln schools continuously, have less defects than those now in Lincoln high who have come from other schools, according to a recent study reported in the news columns. Of students who have attended Lincoln schools all their lives, a less percentage have eye, ear, nose and throat defects, abnormal vision, bad tonsils, teeth with cavities or extractions, ·and hernia, heart, or thyroid defects, and a high percentage of these students have a normal weight for their heights. Physical defects prevalent in Lincoln high students now will be largely corrected before they graduate. A card file on health records is kept in the school. Notice cards concerning defe~~ken home to our parents; enable the• to become aware of our ailments, and tliat way to correct them more quickly. Statements appearing in newspapers and magazines have usually given an unfavorable picture of American youth in regatd to its health, since many were not able to pass the physical tests for the armed forces during the war. Among Lincoln high students, however, the percentage of physical defects are low, and the established policy of our school has had more than just a wartime significance.

With Spring on Brink Jalopies Will Make Debut With spring on the very ·brink, ready to topple over on us tomorrow, the weather will be soon just right for all those weirdly painted, fenderless, topless, almost doorless cars to be making their debut, as is usual every year about this time. Make sure your beloved jalopies are in good running condition before you start lurching down the streets and around the town in them. We wouldn't dream of asking you to add a fender or two;-that would take away from the general b~auty of "Ichabod," or "Ramsical," or whatever term of endearment you have bestowed upon your own leapmobile. But be sure to have the right amount of headlights, and taillights, and tires--and inside stuff that makes it go! Follow the traffic regulations and keep to the right side of things, and you'll be rollin' along much more merrilyhonest ! !!
State's Schools Rank With Top Tivelve~~ffr Do They? Nebraska schools were'·· ranked among the twelve best in the United States when rated on expenditure per pupil per year, average number of school years completed by pupils, average length of school term, percentage of children under eighteen enrolled in school, percentage of those enrolled actually attending, and percentage of pupils who reach high school, in the American magazine, by John W. Studebaker, United States commissioner of education. Archer L. Burnham of the Nebraska state education association says, however, that these points are not the only ones to use as evi-. dence of rank in education. It is very possible that' if Nebraska were judged according to other criteria, we might be ranked among the twelve lowest states. We must remember that Nebraska is one of five states that allows high school graduates to teach without first acquiring further training, and our state is near the bottom of the list in regard to the salaries of teachers. Nebraska's schools are certainly nothing to be scoffed at, as can be· proved by the pupils throughout the state. Our schools are good, but as Mr. Burnham said, "We need better schools to prepare students for tomorrow's responsibilities."

"KICK" OF THE WEEK
This recently happened at a local railroad station. Howie Doerr and his "gang" approached the station agent. "Say, Mister, has the 3:20 train gone yet?" "It left a quarter of an hour ago." "And how soon will the four o'clock train be along, do, you think?" "It'll be quite a while before that train 1 is due." "Are there any passenger trains before then?" "Nope." "Any freights?" "Nope." "No trains at all?" "None." "Are you sure ?" "Certainly, I'm sure!!" "C'mon kids, I guess it's all right to cross the tracks."

Between the Book Ends By MARY-ALICE HAMLIN Man versus tradition is the unfolding plot of the r omantic war novel, "Chedworth," by R. C. S herriff. Chedworth , a large estate and village in Cornwall, England, w as owned by Sir Derek Chedworth, formerly a Wing Commander in the R.A.F. Sir Derek became blind after a crack-up and r etired to his manor after receiving the Distinguished Service Order at Buckingham Palace. While in London, Derek met P eggy Fortescue, a chorus girl, after a spectacular perfor mance at the Viscount theater in Lon don. However, the nigh t Peggy an d Derek met, bombs scored indirect hits against the theater, b.ut Peggy kept on singing "The boy stood on the burning deck." After t h e performance, Sir Derek went back stage to congratulate Peggy on her bravery. Later, leaving the theater, Peggy found that Sir Derek had waited for her. Here I'll leave the reader wondering about that date by skipping t o Buckingham Palace gate the next day where Peggy met Derek to become his bride. Bound for a thou sand years by tradition, Der ek went conten tedly about his business as Lord of the Manor. Meanwhile, Peggy talked with Mr. Green, villager, on the finances of Chedworth Manor . Shocking a s it was, Chedworth had been living off furniture and jewel pawns for some twenty years. P eggy 01· Lady Chedw orth promptly turned down giving an honorary scholarship in the village, much to the aroased ire of Sir Derek.. Peggy and Derek soon began to quarrel over the tradit ions which cost money, such as bounties, ·generous pensions and scholarships. Finances seemed . worse, but were saved by establishing an air b ase at Chedworth Park, which brought in r ent al mon ey . However, relations became more strained; then a direct air attack hit Chedworth M anor and village. The manor, pillar of tradition , was revealed in all its poorness by the humiliated Derek, after he had saved the people by giving an SOS over in the radio tower. When he w as recognized as a hero, the people wished to rebuild the manor. They w ere re.fused but they did rebuild a barn - saving the bigger production till the war's end. Then Peggy realized that a 50-50 system was needed to maintain a love w hich required both traditional love and practical l ove. The whole novel is present ed in a charming and exciting manner with many sub-plots to sidetrack the reader's idea of the end of the story before the author int ends to reach the climax. R. C. Sh erriff, born June 6, 1896, in E nland, had a soun d knowledge of British conditions 'and was therefore qualified to write such a n ovel. His first amateur attempt was "Journey's End." It outgrew the amateur talents and was put on by the London Stage Society due to the efforts of George Bernard Shaw. The play made its first state-side appearance at the Savoy Theatre, New York City, in 1929. The tremendous success of his "Journey's End" was not reflected in his later· writir.gs but some of his principal w orks in novels are: "The Fortnight in September," "Greengates," and "The Hopkins Manuscript," his. most recent novel being "Chedworth."

Writers Club Stomach Tickler By JACK CAMPBELL Once upon a time there lived in the small Swiss hamlet of Fribourg a happy little couple, the St. Gaudens. August St. Gaudens was a maker -of one of Switzerland's most famed products, Swiss chee~e, and from the sale of their ware the couple lived a happy, if conservative life, until · the shadow of misfortune, a baby son, came upon them. Not that this in itself is a catastrophe, for after all, hundreds of almost identical mites are brought into t he w orld daily and where would we be if, well, you get what I meari. As Nils grew, his passion for cheese also grew, until it was unquenchable. Quickly h e ate his father out of business and the man died of worry over his financial troubles and ov er watching his son, w ho was rumored to be "daft ." His passing was quickly followed b~ that of his wife, and thu s Nils was set loose to contin ue in his unnatural obsession. Touring the countr yside he quickly gained fame. Generous p eople in each 'town set aside huge cheeses for his consumption. Still he did not tire of the quantity, in fact, his appetite gr ew. ·. It was during one of his trips that he first ,heard a young peasant girl mention the fable about th e moon being made of Swiss cheese. H ere, at last, w as Nicholas' goal in life. For there, no doubt, was enough cheese to sat isfy even his voracious stomach. So, late one night he packed his knapsack wit h crackers and set out on his trip to the moon . He scaled Switzerland's highest peak and st anding on its pinnacle it seemed as though he could almost touch the moon. In desperation, he took a ID.ighty leap in an effort to gain a hold on the un?ttainable object. In doing so he dropped to his death. No trace of his body w as ever found and some of the Swiss folk believe th at Nicholas at last reached the moon. They also believe on a clear night that he can be seen with a broad smile across his face of the type which appears only on a gourmet's when he has finished a meal of his favorite ·commodity. Being of sound mind, I still take credit for the preceding tale, for who else would?
Game But Unwilling, L.H.S. Student Starts Week With 'Blue Monday Blues' It is a sad sight, to say t he least
to see the school boy staggering gamely but unwillingly to school to begin another long w eek of slav' ing. What an awful feeling it is to awaken from a deep slwnber on Monday morning and suddenly that ghastl y realization of five more days of school thunders upon you. The ment al strain is so great that you almost crack under it. But you are consoled a very little bit upon arriving at school because so many of these typical Monday morning mental cases are in much the same condition as you are. Having not yet snapped out of it, you fumble ar ound w ith your locker and gamely try to crawl inside t o shut you r mind off from the laughing idiots who ·try to spread good w ill in your direction.
'Don't Be Silly' Reply to Cook's Pork Chop Query Reports from the cafeteria are that in spite of t he war's end, different foods · are yet difficult or impossible to get. Mr s. Hilda Kargo relates that . she called the butcher's the other day, asking, "Would it be possible some d ay to get pork chops for lunch? We would need about 1,000." And of course the expected r eply came, "Don't be silly!" Mrs. K argo said that the largest amount of p ork chops obtainable would be 100, which she decided w ouldn't be worth buying because of L .H.S.'s long lunch lines. Cheese has been absolutely impossible to get since Thanksgiving and it seems that it is not expected t o be obtainable for qu ite some time.

Open stories come in contradicting each other. Here are articles giving the point-of-view of two pupils.
Pro What's the matter , what's the matter, w hat's t he matter with the band? They're all right! Yes, they're plenty all right and are really strutting their stuff. On the night of the LincolnNorfolk game, March 1, the Lincoln high band, direct ed by Bernard Nevin, really sparkled, with three new numbers, plus an eyecatching u niform design at the end of one of the numbers. "Auditorium Session," "Tiger Rag," and "It's Been a Long, Long Time" were introduced then for a n appreciative audience. These, with "Whang, Whang Blues" and "Wabash Blues" were pr esented during the regional games. Curt Weatherhogg was outstanding in two special pieces at the Northeast game Saturday night. So, let's give a cheer for the band. They're really all right !! Con "And the band . played on"Yes, when you think of happy occasions, 'don't you subconsciously remember the music that accomp~nied that affair?

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 1946
"Transition From School Life to Business Life," was the topic of a :ipeech given at the joint meeting of the business girls club and the home economics club, March 11. R. L. Compton, Supervisor of Training and Safety, Western Electric was the guest speaker. Mr. Compton said that if one developed good work habits in school he could transpose to a job easily. A few of the work habits he has found most important were discussed by him. He pointed out that if a person makes a relationship between what he learns in school and what he can apply in business he will find most obstacles easily overcome. Advises Concentration. One of the most important habits in Mr. Compton's opinion is concen~ation. He has found that the people who can devote their. individual attention to a given t ask find the task easier
and they rarely make mistakes. The best workers, those making rapid headway, and receiving promotions, are the ones that put all their effort on the job they are assigned. Pur.ctuality was next on the list of important practices to develop. The habit of being on time is one of the most appealing, to a n employer according to Mr. Compton. "Although we are finding a certain amount of lack of co-operation in industry today, co-operation is highly impor t ant," related Mr. Compton. This habit is formed from the time we are small children, but it must be especially applied while working with others. Thoroughness was another item pointed out. A habit especially stressed was that of neatness. This is very im7 portant because of the competition with others one encounters. A few of the t hings one experiences when applying for a job were enumerated by Mr. Compton. These were: (1) fill out an application blank (2) interview {3) physical check-up and sometimes employment tests.
Accept Eight New Mummers
Raising Plants And Flowers, Her Pastime This blossoming little girl has grown up to be an English teacher on the Lincoln high faculty. Aside from being experienced in English, she is very figure wise. She h andles one of the biggest activity budgets in the school. Raising flowers and plants is her pastime, a nd she always has some blooming in her room. Turn to page 4 for the answer to this week 's 'mystery' girl.
Tells Faults To A void. A few faults found in employees were named . These were no conception of what is expected of them, impatience fo•· advancement, partiality, difficulty in fol- · lowing verbal instructions, difficulty in following written instructions, carelessness in work habits, difficulty in ex~ressing themsel ves, lack of traming i.n fundamental things such as spelling, writing and arithmetic and lack of art in getting along with others. The three important steps of transition are preparation, process
of obtaining job and adjust ment to job. In closing Mr, Compton said, "Importance of thinking in terms of what you are going to do a fter :r'ou are out of school cannot be stressed too much". It was announced by Betty Lou Carroll, vice p resident of the home economics club, that the next meeting of the t\vo gr oups would a lso be joint on March 25. Miss Agnes Cizek of a local hair dressing institu tion will be the guest speaker.
Mummers, t he d ramatic club, has accepted eight new members. All those accepted were recommended by Miss Irene Martin, dramatic coach, because of their work in the junior play. They are: Clifford Berggren, P aul Johnston, Sarah Kistler, Richard Merritt, Keith Mills, Richard Olney, Leonard Pachman, Joanne Weaver and Dorothy Williams. "Silence Please," a comical skit was presented at the Mummers meeting, March 13. Frank Jacobs took the part of Darrel; Jeannine Baker appeared as Julia, his wife; Ann Barger as Dolinda, a family friend, and Louise Loucks enacted Madge, also a family friend.

Lincoln High Cagers Capture 12th State Basketball Championship Edge Fremont In Pressing Semi's Befotle 10,000 Renken Sparks Teammates to Tame Tigers The Red and Black "five" settled down on the Fremont Tigers to win, 31-23, during the last half of the state semi-finals, held at the Coliseum Friday, March 15. The Links held the Tigers to five gratis tosses during the last half. Bob Pierce, leading a superior man-to-man defense, limited the Tigers to three fielders, the rest of the points coming on free throws. Fremont took a 4-0 lead b efore Bergquist dropped in a charity toss for the Red and Black. Six and one-half minutes had elapsed before the undefeated Links closed the gap and evened the count at 6-all. The Tigers then moved to a 9-6 advantage at the end of the first quarter. Fremont held an 18-17 count on the Links at the half, with seven p oints coming on gratis tosses. Work in the pivot slot through the last half, commanded by Pierce, proved t oo much for Coach Witte's quint. Randy Renken and J ack Deffenbaugh aided Pierce with top support. Pierce and Renken were the spark in the Capital City five. Pierce took scoring honors with 15, while Dave Mitten was the main plug in the Fremont quint, supported by Jensen who l ed the losers with nine points. Box score: Lincoln fg Wenke, F ... .. .••.• .

Filling the University of Nebraska coliseum beyond .c apacity Thursday night, some 8,000 fanatical cage fans witnessed L yle Weyand's quintet thump a helpless McCook team by a count of 59-29, which set an all time high scoring record for state tournaments. McCook advanced into a 3-0 lead on a fielder by Leo McKillip and a gratis toss from Gene Morris. The Links leveled the count on a trio of charity tosses, but Howard Fletcher led his Bison mates to lead again as he dropped a free throw. From this point on, the McCook boys didn't have a chance. Duane Grady then sparked the Links to a 13-4 quarter advantage. The second quarter went the same with the Red and Black in complete control of the ball. The Links went into the intermission with a 29- 13 advantage. The third quarter the Weyandmen racked u p twenty 'more counters to leave the count 49-19 at the end of the third. The subs took over in the last canto, running up 10 points to maintain their 30-point margin. Pierce was tops in all lines for Lincoln, also being high-point man with 16, w hile McKillip paced the losers with 11. Renken and Walt paced the Links throughout the last stanza and turned in an excellent aggressive game, both of them hitting the meshes regularly. Walt was hot on his outcourt shots.

Baseball Team Outlook Bright With approximately fifty-five boys reporting for baseball w orkout s last Monday, March 11, including some members of last year 's squad, Coach Chuck Wor rall anticipated a successful season. Monday the boys went through light workouts and threw the pill around mainly for the purpose of limbering u p. The same t actics were employed Tuesday, plus some fly chasing and hitting. Wednesda y, Thurs day and Friday, Coach Worrall's last year's squad members and also m any new prospects took their turn at bat to determine the natu ral hitters, which is one of the important assets a ball player should J>lOSsess.
By DICK MEANS. This week's column will feature the field men, discus and shotputters out for · track 1. The only returning letterman in the sh otput and discus bracket is Bill Kimball, who placed consistently last season in these field events. In the Lincoln invitational here at Lincoln last year, Bill placed first i n the shotput. At the Columbus invitational h e placed second. F irst place was again taken by Bill.. in the shotput at the Thomas Jefferson rel ays at Council Bluffs and a fifth in the discu s. Nebraska City afforded his third first of the season in the shot and a second in the discus. He placed a close third in the shotput at the Missouri Valley meet. Leonard
Reben:sdorf
is
the only oth er senior out for the w eights. Don. Batt is a promising junior an.d several sophomores, Bob George, Bob Mockett a nd Jim Heldenbrand, should show plenty in these events.
'Victory' Theme Of Pep Assembly "Victory" was the theme of the pep assembly last Monday, March 18, when the b2sketball team received recognition for its fine season of 26 victories and the winning of the state championship. Ralph Beechner, athletic director of Lincoln high, introduced Coach Lyle Weyand, saying, "Coach Weyand is either up or down, and. this past t ournament h e was definitely up." Beech ner continued in a jocular manner, "I told him he really ought to start eating ·again though!" Introducing each m ember of the t eam, Weyand congratulated him on his fine playing throughout the season, commenting on each boy's particu lar trait for which he will long be remembered. The band, Peppers a nd student body w~re thanked for their spirit and support in the recent ·tournament and the assembly was closed with "Sons of the Black and Red."

By PAT BURKE ! ! ! SPECIAL FLASH ! ! ! Girls' "L" pictures for the Links will be taken in room 403 at 3:10 today! All girls in Lincoln high, w ho have earned "L" letters, at any time, are eligible. The cost to regular members, those who h a ve paid their dues in G.A.A., is only lOc (one-tenth of one dollar to you!). For those w ho are inact ive m embers, the price will be 25c. If you have not yet purchased your t icket for your picture, dash down to the gymnasium at once!! . Now for some more news on the interclass basketball tournaments. The sophomore team didn't stand up so well when it battled against the junior "C" team Monday, March 11. The. sophomores were soundly spanked to the tune of 19-9. Victorious again on Wednesday, March 13, the junior "C" team won over the ·senior team by a score of 14-10. Calling John ·Robert P owers!!! There is an unknown bathing su it model lurking among the faculty staff! Miss Helen Jo Miller, physical education teacher, claims the honor of being the first person to model one of the new, bluecolored swimming suits, which w ere recently purchased for the girls' swimming classes. Maybe her students w ere unaware of Miss Miller's suit b ecause sh~ h ad it hidden under a pair of slacks and a jacket! For technical infor mation, she wore it Tuesday, March 12. After much delay and confusion, the ping pong tournament has finally come to an end. Those lucky finalists in the "singles" are: first place, LCJrraine Williams; second place, JoAnn Miller; third place, Marian Ekblad (what happened, Marian?), and last, but not least, in four place is Gladys Robertson. "Doubles" champions are Lorraine Hoschele and Miriam Sinner coming in first with Doris Gillett and Elsie Shafer following in second place. Grace Norton's b asketball team is the only t eam to win three games and lose none in the r oun d r obin tournament , second period Monday , Wednesday and Friday. Norma Shrewsbury's a nd Ann Meyer's · teams are second, both winning one gam e, tying one, and losing one. Betty Lou Vidlak's player~ are the "black sh eep" of the tournament, losing all three games. 'I In the Tuesday, Thursday, fifth p eriod class, the girls are on the third round of their round ~obin tournament. As they h ave not yet finished, names of captains a nd game summaries w ill be listed later. When the tournament i s over, the girls are going to be r echecked on their achievement t ests to establish a norm (average, I think) for L.H.S . girls. During the week of March 25, swimming classes will change. Thus, the present "landlubbers" will become "seadogs" and vice versa . This week's picture is of ~ss Bessie Fisher.

Sohl Speaks To Classes Tells of Experiences As Army Map Maker --Western War Theater Stanley Sohl talked recently to several art and history classes about his experiences in the army, overseas, as a map maker. He took colored, films of interesting places visited particularly in India, which he is planning to show the art club and camera club some . time in April. In India the mass of people are uneducated. The children are married about the age of five and start living together when they become twelve years old. "The filth and disease in Bombay was beyond description. A dead person or animal lying in the street· was thought nothing out of the ordinary," he explained, in relating his experience<> there. On his first pass he visited the Taj Mahal and took colored pictures of this famous place. From Bombay he was sent to Okinawa. "The natives there," he said, "were friendly when they knew you had money." Okinawa is called the potato patch and acres of sweet potatoes are raised. The army was not allowed to eat them. because of diseases in the potatoes. Because of his artistic ability he was trained to do map work and for six months before he went overseas he practiced mapping. Five different maps were made of each target. About one thousand copies were made of each map. These were distributed to different divisions concerned with the bombing of the target. He arrived in San Francisco March 6 and after being discharged came to Lincoln. He plans to enter the University of Nebraska under the G. I. Bill of Rights in the fall and work for a degree in architectural engineering. He graduated from Lincoh1 high in 1943 and while in school was in choir, camera club and art elub and also lettered in track.

Decrease in Dental Defects P hoto by Olney
Lincoln School Policy To Secure Correction Of Physical Defects Because it is an establish ed policy in the Lincoln schools to make an effort to discover and secure correction of physical defects, students show a marked decrease in dental defects, according to the annual report of the superintendent of schools, M. C, Lefler, for the year 1944-45. Pupils who enter t he tenth grade in Lincoln receive a com plete physical examination. Of those who entered Lincoln high school· in September, 1945 , 101 were new to the Lincoln schools. Examination results for these pupils were compared with results for a random sampling of 101 pupils who have been in the Lincoln schools from kindergarten to tenth grade. The results were as follows: New Indicatton of Fitness Pupils l. Without eye, ear, no~e or . throat diefect (This does not include anyon e who wears glasses. ) 47 2.

This advantage is th at all tests which a re given un iversity entrants will now be given to t he Altrusa club car eer conference girls. Thus eliminat ion of ent rance examinations into the university has been granted. Previously, j ust certain tests w ere given to the girls which caused much confusion u pon ent ering the university. Stating the five main aims of this conference, which are t esting intelligence, personality, int erests, attitudes and aptitudes, he went on to say that if the girls went into the tests unperturbed, results would be much m or e promising. This will enable councilors to u n derstand difficulties and help achieve the five main aims better. First tests w er e given Monday, March 18, in r oom 205. Miss Harriette T owne, a m em ber of Altrusa, spoke a few words of en couragement.

UNESCO, If Established, Will Reflect 'Our' Wis hes "To contribute to peace and security by promoting collaboration among nations through ·education, science and culture, in · order to further universal respect for justice, for the rule of law and for the human rights and fundamental freedoms which are affirmed for the peoples of the world without distinction of race, sex, language, or religion, by the Charter of the United Nations.'', is the main purpose of the United Nations' Educational, Scientific and Cul. tural Organization (UNESCO), as quoted from its new constitution. UNESCO is an organization of governments to act for the benefit of their peoples. Although no program has been set up as yet, the organization will establish a central information service on student and teacher exchange, a program of cooperation in press, radio and motion picture communication, and a world university. Through this organization, pupils all over the world will be able to have mutual understanding, and will be able to exchange books and other printed material. Representatives from 44 United Nations met in London to create this organization, the on1y United Nations not represented being Russia, Costa Rica, Ethiopia and Honduras. That Russia was not represented is surely regrettable, as a strong nation, such as she, would certainly benefit this organization. UNESCO will certainly be established, .a nd it is up to us to study its principles so that we, as the American youth, will recognize the value of an international establishment .such as these. It is a means of peace and security in the world, and once established will mean the reflection of our wishes and the meeting of our needs.
Cooperation of Students Makes Attractive Grounds Spring is here! And because of beautiful warm days approaching soon, all ambitious students will no doubt feel the urge to have many picnics. Picnics are fine, but usually, as a result of them, spoiled food, discarded paper bags and newspapers lay littered about· picnic grounds, certainly taking away the beauty of any park or field. Students will probably want to eat outdoors during the noon hour as the warmer weather approaches. This can be done only if L.H.S. has the cooperation of each student who must remember to discard his lunch sack in a proper container. Doing this will not only make it easier for other students wishing to eat outdoors, but it will make the grounds of Lincoln high more attractive.
Junior-Senior Party To Be Spring Highlight The junior and senior · class officers in in close association with their sponsors have pianned what promises to be the highlight in the school's social curriculum for spring. This party is planned for May 3 at the Antelope dance pavilion. In tune with the tempo of this junior-senior party, the usual spirit around Lincoln high will assure the sale of tickets, which may be purchased in room 307 for 60 cents per person. Spring theme in decorations will no doubt be carried out through the roorri which will lend atmosphere to the festive occasion. Elaborate plans for a floor show have been provided for those attending the party. Whether your plans include coming with a group, with a "date,'' or if alone for a short time, you won't feel uncomfortable in the atmosphere of this party provided by the committee in charge.
Here, Coming of Spring Signifies Our Joy Night This year, what does the month of April signify besides the coming of Spring? Of course everyone is ready with the answer, "Spring Vacation." (sigh) But there is also another very important event that will take place right here at L. H. S. Yes, it's Joy Night, one of Lincoln high's most important and entertaining activities of the year. The eager participants in the twenty-one acts are now working like beavers to make theirs one that will be enjoyed by all types of people who will see them. Their most important aim is to make this year's Joy Night one of the best and most interesting ever presented.

After her coming out party she, her mother, and her sister went to visit Paris until the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian war. In 1874, Jennie was married to Lord Randolph Churchill. During her career she met such famous men a s Napoleon III, Tsar Alexander, Bismark and Disraeli. She had quite an influence in the government, since most political questions of the time were settled at the dinner table. Besides being a career woman, she was the wife and partner of Lord Randolph C:r.urchill, and the dev oted mother of two sons, the eldest of whom was Winston Churchill.

'Links' Personal Opinion on a Weighty Problem Confronting L.H.S. Students You've all heard about that small character, "Smoe" ; in fact he's practically universal; but how many of you have noticed that little gremlin called "Link" hopping around L.H.S. lately? He's strictly Lincoln high's guardian gremlin. Why, he's the one who sits beside the teachers while they grade papers and makes them add those "longed-for" pluses to your grades (it really isn't · his fault if they don't finish up the sign and it turns out to be a minus instead.) He's the little guy who's been adding that extra shove to put the basketball through the net to bring our team so many straight victories too, but his most important j oh is d own in t he rafeter ia

time the notebook was jjirred, a tUbe of lipstick rolled down and hit him on the head. Would this ride never end?? At last the notebook was unzipped and Link spilled out with all the pencils, compacts, combs and lipsticks. "Where was he?" he asked himself. Wherever it was, there seemed to be a lot of laughing and chat. tering and a great number of girls. Just ahead of him was a large mirror so he decided to take a look at himself. As he attempted to jump upon the shelf, a large hand reached out t o grab a paper towel and knocked him to the floor amid a large ass ortmant of saddle shoes. He tr ied to jump upwar d again, bi_1t th en• w as n o room, even for so small a character as Link, so he wandered around between a forest of legs. How many miles of this were there? Suddenly he saw an exit and made a dash for it, but too late, already another mob of females was rushing in and nearly crushed him. When he finally reached the opposite w all, he was too tired and wounded to climb it to safety. All at once a shrill voice cried, "It's time for the bell,'' and the whole mob rushed out screaming, leaving Link to recuperate. As he sat there pondering, he decided that the whole stampede had had something to do with the one mirror in the room~ Now "Link" thinks we need more mirrors for girls because, after all, if there isn't even room enough for one tiny gremlin, there certainly isn't enough room for all the girls in L.H.S. befor e only five mirrors.
New Student Comments on Lincoln High "Oh it's so big!" sighed Charla Cook, when asked by an Advocate reporter what she thought of Lincoln high. Charla came from Nebraska City high school where she attended the eighth, ninth and part of the tenth grade. She was a member of the pep squad which consisted of thirty-five girls. Charla said that what she liked best about Nebraska City . high was the hour lunch periods and the dances after the games. In her opinion, it would be swell if Lincoln high had the same. A school newspaper is put out once a month by members of a journalislfl class. It is called the Otoean and costs ten cents a copy. , The Junior Chamber of Commerce sponsored the "Joy Teen Club" and there is a junior-senior prom every year. .
One Extra . Credit To News Carrier In Seattle, Washington, the school district has decided to give credit to newspaper carrier salesmen. This gives the news boys recognition for taking care of their accounts. These "small business men" will be allowed one credit a semester for a minimum of 200 hours work.
Dear Sir: Many of the terms imposed upon the forming of the juniorsenior prom by the junior-senior class sponsors have been questioned by the student body, but the term permitting students to come stag seems to me to be the worst. A junior-senior prom is somehing to be remembered ·f or a long time as a high point in a student's high school days ;md it does not seem that it should be filled with unattached boys cutting in on anoher fellow's date or unescorted · girls shouting and tearin_g around the dance hall. It will be just another High Spot party except for . the increase in cost . No girl feels right to refuse a boy a dance, nor does her escort feel he should refuse the other fellow the privilege, but if the truth were known, both would probably prefer to be left alone. A. party of this kind is big enough that almost every person who would want to come stag could find a way to have some companion to go with him as a "date." I am sure, if this problem would be studied by the faculty advisers, they would soon see the light and would at least make some provision to remedy the fact. Knox Jones. Any decisions on type of party were made by the student committee -and class officers. The "open'' type party is being proposed chiefly because last year it w as impossible t o get enongh reservat ions to guarantee a party of the "closed" date type which naturally cut a number who may attend.

Mrs. Leadley Dis·c usses Teen Age Fashions Gives Girl Reserves 3 Precautions Showing dresses to illustrate her points, Mrs. Thomas A. Leadley of Hovland-Swanson spoke at the regular meeting of the Girl Reserves, March 18, on teen age fashions. · "Study your figures, buy clothes carefully, watch proportions," said Mrs. Leadley at the beginn~ng of her speech. She said that a tiered effect will always cut one's height, that's why teen age . tall girls prefer tiered effects on dresses. "Formerly, girls five foot, four inches and under had hard time finding a dress, but dress designers h ave worked over three years to make dresses that fit for these girls. Now there are many of them," she added. "You don't have to be expensively dressed to look chic," she emphasized. "Clothes do not have to· be fancy to look well. Use

She told the gir ls that the boleros will be v ery pqpular this spring, also dresses made out of nylon taffeta.
When asked if she believed sweaters and skirts were on the way out, she replied that she did not think . so, since they are so comfortable and Collegiate looking. "Date" dresses should be dark, but spectator sports clothes should h ave lots of color. She brought with her a white duchess linen dress trimmed with navy blue and pink plaid taffeta, a black "date" dress of nylon t affeta, a gray wool suit-dress h aving a trouser skirt gathered in the front and gored in the back, a yellow crepe with a keyhole neck and cap sleeves, also a r ed, green and white plaid two piece dress of gingham with gold buttons, as well as many others. "There will be no special spring color this year," she declared, "but the leading colors w ill be chartreuse, black and navy blue."

Many people believe the peplum style w ill enlarge their hips but it does not, it slenderizes. She also stated that barrel cut skirts, balloon sleeves, and trouser skirts, full and well cut will be very popular. Skirts will be an inch longer in style, but girls should wear the length of skirts that fit them. Answers Questions

Psychological warfare a n d how it was used to weaken the enemy's will to r esist, was the subject of a talk given in room 326 before a group of four English classes, March 18, by Frank Hallgren, formerly a m ember of t he psychological warfare branch of the army, having been stationed in Australia, New Guinea, Neth~r lands East Indies, Philippines and at t he close of the war, Tok yo. "To w eaken the enemy's will to resist, thus shortening the war and saving lives was the purpose of t his branch,'' said M r. · Hallgren. "P sychological warfare was fir st used in the South P acific dur ing this war by our British and Dutch allies and later by the United States. "Our aim was to contact three main groups; first t he P h ilippine people, second the Japanese soldier and l ast the Japanese homeland. There were four ways by which our. design was accomplished. First w as t he radio, w hich was used for lo'lg range broadcasting of general information t o all who were able t o listen; the next and most important were the l eaflets or 'paper bullets,' as we called them. They could go anywhere but were distributed ch iefly by tactical air force. T hird was the lou dspeak er w hich was ·used in short range to convince the enemy in isolaied pockets that they ' should surrender. ·Fourth, and one we ha dn't expected, w ere pr isoners of war. They were eager to tell their frierids a nd write leaflets fiJr us." Mr. Hallgren finished his talk by answering questions a nd ex- 1 h ibiting American and J apanese leaflets. Among the J apanese leaflets were two identical books, one printed in J apanese a nd the other in English which were distributed in Korea. Each person in the u nit was given a large book in which he collected a s2mple cif all Ameri can leaflets u sed d uring the war. Mr. Hallgren showed this volume t o the audience. A graduate of Lincoln high school in 1936, he was on t he Ad vocate st aff. He is hon or society, writers club and was on the AdvocatP. staff, and is now an instructor in English at t he University of Nebraska .
This w eek, from March 25 t o 29, is Air Age Week in Nebraska. It is set aside for the third w eek in March by the state dep artment of public instruction workshop commit tee to emphasize this n ew field of education and the importance of it to young and old alike. The story of aviation begins a long time before any actual history of it was recorded. It grew from the simplest of early type flapping-wing m achines to the elaborate present day air liners. · Only through much labor and endless hours of study and invent ing, experimenting and testing was air flying realized. Toda y it has grown int o an industry in itself. Countless thousands are dependent upon this, the fast est and p er haps the safest means of transportation.
Ever since Charles Lindberg's non-stop flight from New York to Paris in 1927 rapid progress has been made in flying. Air power played a major part in the winning of the war and will continue playing even a greater part in peace-time .conditions. The importance of th is field · should be realized by all of us. We are living in an air age of air minded people. Several Lincoln high boys have adopted flying and probably realize the importance of it. Norman Case, Bill Ow en and Vincent Goeres takeflying seriou sly. Aviation science is offered in Lin coln high school to stimulate aviation . education . Air Age Week should bring this new field closer to the attention of all pupils and to members of the comm u nit y .

The Blacks outpointed the Reds 621h to 571h for a close victory in the intra- squad track meet held at the University of Nebraska Friday afternoon. At the end of 10 events, with the discus still unreported, the squads were tied up 54112 points apiece, but Bill Kimball, Black co-captain an d star weight man, came thru with a first place to cinch victory for his squad. Numerous good times were turned in on the fist track headed by Don Etmund's 2:11.2 performance in the half mile. He was pushed to the tape by big Jim Mikkelson, who turned in a good 2:11.5. Bruce Smith, Black sprinter, came through in both the 100 and 200 yard dashes with :10.5 and :23.5 showings. He was t railed by Ed Longacre, ace sprinter and letterman last year, who was running for the Reds. Of the 11 events, the Reds grabbed only 4 firsts. Etmund's 800, Bruce Bergquist in the 100 yard low hurdles, Knox Jones in the 440 yard dash and Jack Deffenbaugh in the p ole vault. Bergquist was clocked in 11.8 over the low timbers, his best time in three years of competition. Jones hit a

Not Referred To as Central Although Lincoln high is never refer red t o as Lincoln Central in any Lincoln papers, many out -oft own papers a nd residents identify this school incorrectly by that name. Lincoln high w as named after Abraham Lin coln, not the cit y of Lincoln. When the first L .H.S. was built, it was named after that famous for mer pr esident of the United States. Then when the new building was built in 1913, of course it inherited the former name.
Glenn Presnell, Coach of U.N., Advises Football Hopefuls Desirous of PositiononColwgeTeam "We want boys on the University footb.a ll team w ho have proved themselves to be good students and leaders among their fellow pupils. Cooperation, sportsmanship and courage are n ecess ar y qualities. The boys must be able to fit into the organization needed to produce a winning team. They, of course, must have the physical requirements to stand the strain of college football," stated Glenn Presnell, backfield coach of the U niversit y of Nebraska football team. Presnell coached the backfield of N.U. from 193B to 1941. In 1942 he was acting head coach. He then joined the navy and was a physical training officer at Chapel Hill for 26 months. From there, Presnell went to the navy air base at Atlanta, Georgia, where h e was a physical and wel· fare officer. "Pres" started playing football in a small town high school.

Speakers Advise Altrusan Girls Speaking to the Altrusan career conference girls on employment fields and employer-employee expectations, Friday, March 29, at the Y.W.C.A., were two women, Miss Mary Sawtell of the United States Employment Service, and Miss Marie Weesner personnel director at Miller & Paine's. Stating that aptitude a nd intelligence tests taken by the girls were used largely in application, Miss Sawtell went on to say: "It takes all the running you can do to stay i n t he same place, but if you want to get some place, you must' run twice as fast." Miss Sawtell said that a "home" position w as a simple course t o follow and an accepted position. However, she went on to emphasize, "A job becomes a personal and very purposeful thing. Satisfaction of a job keeps many women in the business even though some men have set opinions about women working." Invention of the sewing machine started the first opportunities for work for women; office positions were offered in World War I; but the high peak of women working was reached during World War II. "Two questions probably asked most are: Will job opportunities expand and will there be a job for me and other women?" Miss Sawtell Encourages Girls. Miss Sawtell encouraged the girls by continuing that there is a growing feeling among employers to give equal opportun ities to all employees. She commented upon the many fields open for women, some of which were: textiles, electrical positions due to women's skillful and adept fingers, service occupations- institutions for service for others, shopping services, nurseries, laundries, repair shops, city planning and b eautification, occupational and physical therapy for both civilians and vet erans, social work and the expanse of the educational field. S horter working hours will enlarge the recreation and vocational rehabilitation fields. Professions such as dentists, accountant (C.P.A.), pharmacist, nurse, meteorology, r adio and telev ision enhance women more and more. In spite of the new fields, Miss Sawtell advised, "It is important to know in what fields you will be happiest. There are four basics to all jobs and these are: people, words (abstract ideas), figures and m achines. "If a person is cautious she should follow old substantial lines instead of jobs where security might be doubtful."
By vote, the board of education Tuesday, March 26, raised the salaries of all Lincoln school teachers by two increments. Teachers with master's degrees will now start in Lincoln schools a t $1,700-$1,800 minimum instead of $1,500-$1,600 and may work up to $2,700 instead of $2,500 maximum. Those with bachelor's degrees will receive $1,475-$1,550 minimum and $2,450 maximum compared with the previous figures of $1,325-$1,400 and $2,300. Teachers without degrees will start at $1,300 and $1,350 instead of $1,200 and $1,250 with the maximum being raised from $1,900 to $2,000. An eight-member salary committee represented by David Sell, president of the Lincoln teachers association and Miss Ruth Hall, chairman of the salary committee, met with the board Moni:iay evening., March 25, to discuss the increase. The board members were divided on the question of a third increment to the twenty per cent who have not reached their maximums requested Tuesday morning, March 26, by Mr. Sell. However on t he final vote only the two-increment proposal was approved. In a letter to the members of the Lincoln teachers association from Miss Hall and Mr. Sell this was stated: "The board, also by mutual agreement has pledged itself a careful study of finances during the month of May with the view of including, if at all possible, in next year's contracts an additional increment for all regular full-time teachers who are not now a t their maximum. In no case, however, will any additions be made that would place any teacher above the new maximums established March 26." Mr. Sell, speaking for all the teachers, expressed his sincere ·ap..: p redation for the consideration

Student Poll Results Are Revealed . College Study Aim of Students College education is the aim of 45 per cent of high school students in the United Stat es. This was the result of the Institute of Student Opinion poll conduct ed in Lincoln high school by the Advocate in January. Pre-war records show that approximately 35 per cent of high school graduates went to college. The chances are that 10 per cent of those who expect to go to college will not fulfill their plans. Among the students who do not plan to go to college, 18 per cent expect to seek a job immediately upon graduating from h igh school. Seventeen per cent plan to take two years or less of specialized training and th en seek employment. Five per cent expect to become home makers, and the remaining 15 per cent a re undetermined. In answer to the question, "How much money do you expect to be earning ten years from now, 56 per cent of the boy voters expect to · be earnin g less than $75 per week.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 1946
Everyone Lives Someplace; Does America Suit You? Would you like to be a Dutchman, a Frenchman, a Russian-or even an Englishman? Or would you rather be an American? Henry J. Taylor in his radio series titled ''Your Land and Mine," sponsored by General Motors, challenges youth with these ideas and ideals. Everyone lives someplace, and if you measure your lot you will find it is better here in America than it would be in many foreign countries, for this is the land of opportunity, for the common and the young. Here, you are rewarded on merit, and you need not be ·held back by anyone or anything. A void things which hold you back It is the responsibility of the America youth. Everywhere, along with the industrious and ambitious people such as those in Lincoln high ( ?) there are those people who love anything that isn't work. No one can do as much as you, yourself can do about being dissatisfied. In a job or in school, people are constantly being advanced .or weeded out, according to the goods they deliver or don't deliver. Let others who do not work as hard or as well as you do, live on the promises made to them. Look back a year or two from now and see where they are as compared to where you are. They were wrong, for there came a time when there was no one to promise; they had to get ahead on their own merit. There are wonderful opportunities here in our land and it is up to you to take advantage of them in an earnest way. Don't blame your surroundings, your teachers, your parents or your girl for your troubles. Blame yourself, and seize the next opportunity to be found. To find it you must loo~ for it. Opportunity comes to the worker, not to one who is sitting in a rocking chair waiting for it to come flying through a window. You don't need to read about how to be ·successful. Be successful, work, and do the thing that you know you ought to do-and see what happens. Your tomorrow is now. Own yourself, and above all your future, for it is your principle hope in this land of freedom. You're young, and that's wonderful!
Lincoln High ls Judged From Attitude of Pupils Joy Night! Yes, Joy Night is this week. People from all over Lincoln will attend the annual variety show. One of these nights you will probably be attending, so let this be a remind.ei' to you that Lincoln high is judged not only from what it produces, but from the attitude of the pupils. Loud laughing and yelling is for sports, • not for a show. When one person starts to yell, others are always weak enough to follow. This can turn into so much noise that nothing else can be heard. It isn't good taste to eat during the performance. Certainly don't be childish and throw wrappers around. Recall all this the night you go and keep Lincoln high's good name.
Anxiously Counting Coins, The Board Takes Step Up After counting their coins once again, the board of education voted to raise the pay of the teachers. ' A definite increase was made in Lincoln teachers' salaries two years ago when the mill levy was increased. Later a "cost of living" adjustment was made. The board had the attitude of wishing to do the best possible for the teachers, still keeping in mind the solvency of their funds. Some of this increase will be compensated for by the dropping out of some teachers who have reached retirement and who are receiving maximum salaries and by their replacement with younger teachers who will receive lower salaries.

tle, it was decided to build a new high school building. It was considered a "mos.t elegant and substantial brick building" by the citizens when it was completed at Fifteenth and M streets in 1873. When the first class graduated from the "new" building in 1874, it ·h ad only one boy gradaute, who was Sam T. Engiish . The largest graduating class of that time had 22 girls anci 11 boys who gradua;ed in 1887. As early as 1902 the Advoate made its appearance, and although quite different, tb.e . Advocates of that time and today are much alike in that fact that the motto of the 1902 Advocate was, "A weekly paper devoted to the interested of high s~hoo1." With covers observing the various holidays in the school year, the Advocate was in the form of a booklet a nd contained stories of all four classes, athletics, alumni notes, editorials and a page devoted to jokes. T ypical of the editorials in 1909, was one urging students to impress upon their parents the need
Maybe this was true, because just before the first World War, the public schools abandoned Latin and Greek requirements. The present building was completed in 1915, and on January 7, 1916, the freshman class presented the first play in t he new building, "District Attorney."

He t ells of how he opened an ancient emerald mine in the Andes of Colombia, prospected for gold, and rediscovered the old Spanish emerald mine of Coscuez. His adventures as an emerald miner are many and various, which included a war with the local bandit chief, a feud with the local priest, undertaking and embalming when necessary, and doctoring his workers for everything from knife wounds to delivering babies. He bought a hacienda, 'Las Cascadas," and sent for his wife and three children who were living in New York. He also made the first attempt to grow tea commercially in Colombia.

On Saturday n ight Louise Carter was ther e with Bob J;>hilbrook, Joyce Steele and Bill Ladd, and Mary Sue Holland with Cub Clem. All of these boys are from St. Johns Military Academy. Terry Lane had fun at the circus with Dick Hill as did Pat Davidson and Jim Hill, and Lydia Nekuda with Bill Owen. Other interesting dates included "Shorty" P ierce with Marilyn Kieck, Virginia Robbins with Don Meyers and Chick Chamberlain and Donnie Hergert, enjoying steaks together at the basketball banquet. While show dat es included Dorothy Calkins and Amos J ennings. The picnics were too numerous to mention them all, so here are a few of the picnicers, Barb Meyer with Everett Green, .Tean Catron and Roger Barnard, Ruth Jew ett and Dave Auston shared lunches as did Marge Mygren and Bill Chastain and Via Ann Townsend a nd Bob Wagner . Phyllis Haley and Dale Capek w ere out picnicing and Marcia Johnson annd Frank Piccolo peddle d their bicycles out to PLon eers.

Organizer Tells Of First Band
Finds That Only Small Percentage of Violators Are High School Graduates George H . Meyer, adult probation officer for Lancaster county, finds that a comparatively small percentage of law violators are high school graduates and even a smaller percentage graduates of universities. "Men are by far the greater violators, and forgery, burglary, felony, and petty larceny are the laws most often violated," declared Mr. Meyer. Five years is the longest anyone can be put on probation with two years the average length. Approximately 85 per cent of the probationers make good. "Probation is employed when the person is a first offender and the judge suspends the sentence, but when a person has already been sentenced to some institution and has served time he is then eligible for parole," states Mr. Meyer. There is a decided advantage in being put on probation. One can earn his own living, make restitution for his crime, wnile h e is also saving tho:: state's ·mb:.1ey . The <)yerage cost is $448 a year for maintenance for each prisoner at the penitentiary,
English Boy, Girl Desire Pen Pals Letters from Mary Ainsworth of Worcester, England, and Brian Barry of West Ewell Surrey, England, requesting pen pals, were received by Mayor Lloyd Marti and sent to H. C. Mardis, principal, who turned them over to the English department. Mary is seventeen years old, has varied interests and wishes to hear from either a boy or girl. Brian Barry from "Chez Nous," 374 Chessington Road, West Ewell Surrey, England, desires a pen pal about fourteen years old. Brian will· be fourteen in May. Anyone interested may obtain the letters from Miss Sarah T. Muir.
Joint Meeting Hears Talk: "As a rule it is not hard to find
positions for probationers but if we find it so, it is usually the fault of the individual," said Mr. Meyer. "Probationers h a v e obtained some very responsible positions," Mr. Meyer relates. "We have, for instance, on record a man who is a large boat operator on the coast. Many of them, while on probation, have positions on the r ailroads ; some are bookkeepers and contractors. We also had a man who played professional baseball for the St. Louis Cardinals." The main requirements while under probation are that probationers shall participate in no unlawful, disorderly, injurious, or vicious habits. They must avoid places or persons of disreputable or harmful character, work faithfully at some Sl,litable employment and abstain from the use of alcoholic beverages. B.::lore becoming adult probation offo:er, Tv<<. Meyer served eighteen years on the police department, twelve · years of which he was head of the juvenile department.

American history 2 classes of Miss Carrie Roberts are studying means of transportation in early American histor y and transportation of today, then comparing the two. Miss Rob ert~ has assigned books on foreign policies for book reports, but stated that two pamphlets could be r ead inst ead of books. Guilford Burnham's auto mechanics classes are now taking apa.rt the engines of several old cars. The engines will be cut in half in several different places and connected to an electric motor, thus showing the pupils how an engine works. No more outside work will be done unless a student wants to fix his own car and then r epairs must be directly connected with what the boys are studying at that time. Mrs. J. 0. Hertzler's German 6 class finished a short story entitled "Der Ditzte" or "The End." The class is now studying German conversations and compositions.
Miniature replicas of letter files and letters a re used in Miss Alice Beynon's office training classes. Types of correspondence filing taught are direct alphabetic, varied alphabetic, triple check automatic, geographic, and RussellSoundex. Among other duties of future of fice workers are dictatin g and transcribing letters from the dictaphones; adding, subtracting and multiplying on the comptometer, and making copies of letters on the ditto machine. Besides studying about social conflicts in Germany, France and England, pupils in Mrs. Ruth Dodge's second period world history 2. class were giving oral reports on great men and women in history, Mrs. Dodge has promised them motion pictures in April in connection with what they will be studying then.

Care of the hair, face and nails was discussed by Miss Agnes Cizek at a joint meeting of the home economics club and the business girls club, March 25. "Keeping the hair free from dryness is essential to healthy, curly hair," stated Miss Cizek. She advised regular brushing as the most important item in hair care. Through brushing, the blood is stimulated, t he natural oils are distributed, and the ends are prevented from splitting. Massaging the scalp also encourages stimulation. Thoroughness and regularity in shampooing was stressed. Four students accompanied the speaker to present a demonstration on hair combing. Two of the students, one with long hair and one with short, had their hair combed and s1yled before the group. A discussion on hair styles for the four varied face types took place. ' Immaculate cleanllness when dealing with the face is important, especially in summer. Freckles, which are bothersome to the fairer lasses, are pigment spots and nothing can be done about them. Daily treatment of the na ils was advised. Splitting and breaking nails can ofter, be prevented by the filing of the nails several times a week. Hang nails and broken cuticle can be remedied by the use of an oiled orange wood stick.
Art Students Win Recognition According to a letter received by Miss Elva McFie, supervisor . of art for Lincoln public schools, entries of ten Lincoln high students won firs\, second, or third places, honorable mentions, or were placed at the recent Orchard and Wilhelm exhibit in Omaha, Nebraska. All students whose work was recognized have had work under the supervision of Miss Helen Wilson, Lincoln high art director. Virginia Boberg, who w on first, second and third, two honorable m ention;; and two places for her fashion design, h as had previous training in the Saturday morning art classes at the university. Joan Raysor won an honorable mention in the pencil drawing and also a place,. while others placing entries in the exhibit were Dolores Kuhlman, Ann Webster, June Hornby, Denise Cave, Donna J ean Saum and Frances Wallace.
PERSONALS Miss Lillian Griffith, librarian at Northeast high, visited the L. H. S. library on Monday, March 25. Miss Snyder , L. H. S. librarian, visited the library at Northeast the preceding Monday. The purpose of these ex change visits was to compare the books owned by the two schools.

Her Interests Are Poetry, Shakespeare The little lady in the lacy white dress now has the heavy and active responsibility of a Lincoln high publication. Her interests lie in composing poetry and reading Shakespeare at her leisure. Students say she has one of those likeable chuckles. Receiving both her bachelor's and master's degrees at the Uniyersity of Nebraska, she also attended the University of Minnesota and Yankton College, Yankt on, South Dakota. She taught at Fort Dodge, Iowa, before joining the faculty" ~t Lincoln high. Turn to page four for ident\fication.

honor of being the first person to form the L.H.S. band, although there were others who did as much work as I did," stated Ernest Dietze, organizer of the first Lincoln high band. Mr. Dietze was graduated from Lincoln high in 1916. This was the first class to graduate from the new high school. "There was practically no music in public schools and I was convinced in my own mind that a band would be a great thing for the school." The first year there were 14 members in the band. There were four cornets, one trombone, a bass and a baritone, two drums, four clarinets and one alto. During the first and second years the bands had no uniforms. In the third year uniforms of black coats and trousers, and little · red caps were purchased. "We had quite a struggle during the first year because the board of education didn't recognize our band and so we all had to chip in to buy music," said Mr. Dietze. "I played in the band longer than most of the students because I had to drop out of school for a couple of years and the first year they needed members so badly that I played sort of as an honorary member. We played for track meets, assemblies and football games." Very few of the members went on to a career in music although one of the former members now owns a local music store.
Stamina, endurance, courage and perseverence are the four essentials necessary to a good journalist, _as well as having enthusiasm for writing, according to the film shown recently to many English classes. If you like writing, you will be happy on a paper, but if you don't like writing you won't be happy, was the advice given to all prospective reporters. Get all the practice you can in writing. Composition courses in English are ideal. Reporters are assigned to beats which they cover at all times. Such places as hospitals, city halls, police departments are fre• quently assigned to beginners. Often these reporters do not write the story, but telephone it in to copy editors who are more sea• soned news writers. Editorial writers must be able to write on many subjects, just as the political writer must be able to interview important persons and record subjects accurately. Feature writers are important and columnists must be ~xperienced. Sports writers must have a good knowledge of sports in order to write an accurate report of any kind of game. A society writer also must know what he is writing about so that accurate facts may be printed. The news room is the heart of the newspaper and the main ob· jective of all newspapers is ac• curacy.

By BOB BECKER. Since the awards assembly, many inquiries have been directed my way as to the reason why all of the basketball team members were not lettered, especially since the team went through an undefeated season and triumphed as state champions. These questions were imposed with the utmost sincerity and concern therefore deserved an investigation. Coach Weyand when quizzed on the matter responded most willingly and reasonably. "During the war years, letters were awarded to almost anyone who went out for a sport, stayed out and showed interest and some ability. Not to be harsh or critical but this more or less disvalued the significance of a letter. Now that things are slowly returning to normal we of the athletic board decided that we would return to pre-war basis on awards, and therefore started on the basketball team. The boys had to play a third of the specific numbers of quarters or participate in the district or state tournament." Coach Weyand also hopes that in the future instead of awarding a letter each time, that after the first letter they will offer an 'L' pin, and that certificates will be made more .elaborate. After last Friday's intra-squad competition, Beechner's cindermen are well prepared for the Lincoln mvitation to be held this Friday at the University of Nebraska stadium, where 7 schools will be competing for laurels. Running events were hampered by (), strong wind, Friday, but the -tracksters have proved their ability in previous trials. The Links are highly favored and should pull a nice margin with their victory. Big Surprise of the week is news that Bun Galloway's Rockets will not compete, due to lack of training. The Red and Black are probably in top shape for the meet with all of their high point event men on deck. Last week's intrasquad competition showed some surprising winners, so it looks as if Beech has plenty of winning material. Kenny Neihardt will be back on hand for the Crete boys and will give the Links stiff competition in any of· his events. Kenny was high scorer for the Cardinals last season and will probably pace them again. Thursday, Chuck Worrall's boys will show their worth in the opener of their baseball season when they tangle with the Omaha Packers. This game is an important one, not only due to the strength of the Omaha clan, but also because it will give some idea of the expectations we may have of our moundmen. The boys have been

The Red and Black team hopes to repeat its 10-4 victory over the Packers of two years ago. Last year the game was washed out by rain. Tip Lowry, Packer coach, indicated that South can present all members of the team which won the State Legion championship last summer. All-State Ed Neneman and Jaksech will divide the catching. Lou Halamek, veteran, will be at the pitching mound. Also many veteran outfielders are on the squad. Coach Chuck Worrall cut 46 out of the 70 boys who went out for baseball to make a squad of 24. Five lettermen, Don Hays, Pete Kortum, Melvin Knopp, Dean Hobson and all-state", George Nutt, are on the ~quad. In the catching mound are Pete Kortum, Dietze and Don Lohrberg; pitchers, George Nutt, Ray Howell, Merle Debus and Chick Louder; first base, Guy Nielson and Jim French; second base; Melvin Knopp, and Virgil Jacob; third base, Chuck Hughes and Willard Schlesselman; short stop, Don Hays and Korell; outfield, Reigert, Hobson, Kordell, Huppert and Gerlach; utility men, Decker and Starckel. Officials: Joe Wilcoxen and '.Bill Kiefer. During Chuck Worrall's twoyear reign as diamond coach, the baseball team has had only two defeats, coming from Creighton Prep and Boys Town last season. However, the Red and Black evened the count by defeating both teams. Starting his third season, Coach Worrall hopes to repeat the victories his team ac-
complisped during the undefeated season of 1944. practicing hard all week and are very eager for the game. It really is hard to say whom to favor for the winner, but I believe the Links will slide thru to a victory. Bad news of the week comes that Virg Reigert, ace outfielder and also Pete Kortum, star catcher have dropped the team. This leaves Coach Worrall a little on the handicapped side. However Pete may return. Let's all get out to back the boys for this opening game of the season because they can really use it. Remember, · North muny field, Thursday at 3:00 p. m.
Students Should Continue Support
SATURDAY
One of the reasons our basketball team was able to win the coveted position of state champions and complete an undefeated season was the whole-hearted support of the student body. Each game received a large turnout, and the state tournament attendance was a record-breaker. Now, how about the baseball team? Don't they deserve just as much support from the student body as was shown at basketball and football games? An. excellent advantage to baseball fans is that our diamond is just across the street in the Muny park. There are bleachers provided for spectators at all games. The · first game is tomorrow night, April 4, at 3:00, if the weather permits. A well-supported baseball team may lead to a state championship team. TO HELP \'0(; WIN THAT SUPIBR RA TING

Bids were issued to · Ashland, Beatrice, College View, Creighton Prep, Crete, Elkhorn , Fairbury, Fremont, Nebraska City, Nor theast, Omaha North, Omaha Tech, Omaha Benson, Omaha Central, Seward, Teachers, Weeping Water, Wilber and W~more. Those scheduled t o attend are Ashland, Beatrice, College View, Elkhor n, Seward, Teachers, Weeping Water and Wymore. Defending champion, Lincoln, is cast in the favored spot to capt ur e its fourth straight title. Seven boys t hat scored points for t he Capitol Citians will be competing, compared to five point winners from the other !!chools. Great Surprise was the declining by Northeast t o compete in the m eet. "We have had only a few weeks work, and much criticism fell our way last season for entering such stiff competition so early," was the only answer Coach Bun Galloway had for their declination. Galloway s cheduled a dual meet with Nebraska City for Friday after the invit ational bids were made. Both sch ools feel that they are not ready for a bigger meet. This year's meet will be of much stiffer competition and importance due to the larger number of entries and being boosted by the Omaha schools. Returning point winners, Bill Kimball and Ed Longacre, are the lone first place winners on deck. They scored w ins in t he shot and 60 yard dash in last year's meet. Other prospective point obt ainers for the Red a nd Black are Herb Gish, second in the high hurdles; Don Bryant, second in the mile; Jack Deffenbaugh, tie for second in the pole va ult; Mer-. lin Wiltfang, tie for second in t he high jump; Bruce Bergquist tied for third in the low hur dles. Dick Shipman, F airbury, winner of last year's vault and record holder, will be back in an at t empt to break his 10-10¥.! mark. He undoubtedly will be given some stiff competition from Lincoln's J ack Deffenbaugh. Of the three previous meets, one has been staged outdoors and two inside at the Nebraska u niversity stadium. Records for the meet have been recor ded for the long and short dashes and hurdle races for that reason.

Individuals All Score High in Group Ratings Both Lincoln high's debate teams and two pupils won superior ratings at the University of Nebraska's first annual all-state speech and dramatic festival held Friday and Saturday. From t he 11 schools who entered two debate t eams each, only four of the schools,· Lincoln high, Omaha Central, Kearney and Omaha Tech, had both teams receive. superior ratings. The two debate teams from Lincoln high were composed of George Cobel and Forrest Mozer on one team, "and Don Gish, Roger Hancock, and Paul Galter on the other. On Saturday, Paul Galter took Gish's piace with Hancock, as Don had to be in Omaha to take university entrance examinations for an eastern college. Gunderson, Cobel Superior. Ted Gunderson won a superior r ating on original oratory. His speech was entitled "Begin Here." Only three pupils out of about ten in class A won superior ratings in original oratory. George Cobel was rated superior as an individual debater and Mozer and Hancock were marked excellent. Gish and Cobel were in the final drawing to appear on the Univ ersity of Nebraska Forum of the Air Saturday, but lost the draw. Of the other Lincoln high pupils entering, Donna Jean Saum was rated excellent in a dramatic r eading entitled "Postscript to Iwo;" Ed Carter, excellent on an interpretive or at i o n entitled "Toussaint L'Overture,'' and Roger Hancock, excellent, in extemporaneous speaking.

Report Gold Star Changes List Must Be Correct By End of Semester; To Present Next Fall Only a few corrections to the Gold Star sel"vicemen list were re· ported this week. It is very important that this list be correct and complete. . For an example, somebody thought she had seen a boy who was reported as dead in Lincoln high's record. This will have to .be checked through his relatives. It would be quite a shock to this boy if he should read his name on the Gold Star plaque. The bronze plaque should be presented early next fall, therefore the list must be nearly finished by the end of th~ semester. The list now consists of 179 names. No record can be found for more than twenty-five names. The faculty is especially urged t o report any slight error, as they may have known the boy himself. Bring additions and corrections to room 116. By error, Halcyon Coble was omitted from the list of citizenship committee members.
Students Discover Amazing Facts About Dandelions Ten inches long! It's a fact! This is the actual measurement of the root of a dandelion which was pulled from the lawn of L.H.S. Seven sophomore g i r 1 s, Pat Hinds, Margaret Thomsen, Jeanine Baker; Gretchen Bowers, Bonnie Albert, Margery Van P elt , Shirley Sidles and Sara Devoe, all members of Mrs. Ruth P inney's fifth period study hall, found, much to their surprise, t ha t their studies · w ere done! As they gazed out of the window their hear ts filled with longing to be in the great outdoors. Persuading their teacher that they would act ually get some work done, they armed themselves with several bushel basket s and some dan delion diggers and descended on the front lawn. Filled with a desire to beautify our school, the girls wor ked industriously for about 30 minutes. At the end of that time when they looked up from their toil they found, m uch to their surprise, that they had pulled four heaping baskets full of dandelions. To their greater surprise, they found that t he roots of some of the dandelions they had pulled looked very long. Selecting the longest one, the girls rushed for a ruler. The actual measurement proved to be ten inches long which just goes to show you that it can happen anywhere!

'Attitude Taken in School Makes for Good Grades
Be Kind to AnimalsThey Place Faith in You "Veterans in Peace" fs the general theme for "Be Kind to Animals Week," which started the seventh of April and will continue through the thirteenth. Its aims are better protection for animals and anticruelty activities, not only during this week, but throughout the year. Few of the students in Lincoln high realize, when they see the dogs in the hall, the faith that these animals place in them, as human beings, to protect them and be human toward them. Because of domestic animals, many individuals are living today that without tlieir aid would have been killed or hurt badly. All know the comfort and relief brought and the courageous deeds done for man by dogs on the battlefields and in treacherous places. Is it too much to ask, to raise a warning hand to an assaulter or to take a little time to make sure your dog or your neighbor's pet is well sheltered and protected? Of course, this doesn't mean that you must bring your pet to school where it will likely be uncomfortable in spite of your good intentions, or that you should give him your meals and go hungry, but if you have a pet, be especially aware of his faith in you this week, and throughout the coming year.
Student Assemblies Have Blessing of Everybody The acts which made up Joy Night were · fine, and Joy Night was a big success. Other acts which tried out for Joy Night were also good, but naturally, all those who tried out could not be included. The reason -a limited amount of time, making it impossible to apply the old proverb, "There is always room for 'Cme more." Students are forever asking for more assemblies with student participation. We have been barking for some time now. Here is our chance to bite! While working hard to get an act in shape to present to the judges, the students were indulging in that element which makes for perfection-practice. And in presenting their act for judgment they gained experience. These two qualities, coupled with will, certainly afford the material for an assembly with student participants. A few rendezvous with a willing sponsor and we'd have it-with the blessing of all.

Fayette Winslow-"When you slide down the bannister of life, remember me as a sliver in your career." Dedicated to Olive Gettman. Don Bryant-"T.T." Frank Gorton-"Toooo bad." Phyll Cone-"Don't tell me your troubles. I'm not your mother!" .. The Mealy MobJim, Bill, Joe, Bob, John, Tom, Gordy and Peewee.-"Scraunch!" Kathy Schreiber-"Huh ?" Barb Buck-"! mean, you know." Tub Coble-"You know it!" Ed Carter-"Bwang!" Dick Churchill-(two short piercing whistles). And ask any student of home room 132 who the fiend is that never fails to waken the sleepers each morning with a high soprano "Whoopee!" So you can see that there are many ex.; pressions that reflect the character of the expressee (new word). If all of these sayings were boiled down to one great word, it would, without a doubt, be ...

It is the attitude taken toward things in high school, as well as intelligence, that makes for good marks. Most of the students who get good grades are those who study, and not necessarily those who have the most intelligence~ There is an old saying which states that you will get out of a thing exactly what you put into it. This can and does pertain to education. But before an education is obtained, one must work and study diligently. In the near future, students will be sorry for "loafing" in class while a free pass to the future was being handed to them. Satisfaction of 12 weeks marks comes from keeping up with one's work. However, the loafers complain bitterly and blame bad grades on the teachers. Then a few, knowing their parent's reaction on grades, sign the report slips themselves. When the;arents are finally informed of the pupil's work, a molehill is made into a mountain. The pupil lazily says to himself, "Oh, well, I'll try to do better for the final marks." Now time has passed and again it is time for grades to be given out. Work will tell the success of the effort done. The students who usually work hard will undoubtedly receive a reward. Ah. . . and then, the "loafers." What do .Fheir grades tell? ... probably the same as before! This goes on all semester -iintil the final semester grades are issued. The entire high school career, until graduation is the same. Each individual seems to be thinking ... "If only I had studied." The only remedy for this is to remember that study is the passport to success and an education ~s the transportation.

''To be accepted into Peppers, a contestant must have the ability to give a song and yell so that it makes a favorable impression on the judges," stated Mrs. Ruth Dodge, one of the Pepper sponsors, in regard to tryouts for the Peppers, which, held sometime in the spring, aren't too far away. Realizing that many girls wonder just what qualifications it takes to become a Pepper, Mrs. Dodge tried to make it clear that girls are rated solely by their tryouts before the judges. She very emphlitically stated that it does not take backing or any pull whatsoever to get into the club. "A girl must fry out before an equal number of faculty judges and student judges from the Peppers," she explained, "where they are ranked ·on their _p ersonality, voice, poise, rhythm and
ability to put over their tryout. Girls try out in groups of three and each judge rates each individual girl from one to seven. Pepper officers count the numbers and then divide by the number of judges. The best graded are chosen. That is the only way it is done." She also said that the club is definitely not an exclusive group, and a girl's popularity or her other activities have nothing to do with the way she is judged. Mrs. Dodge ur~es any girl who does not get in the club to try out again the next year, if possible. She said that a girl can change a great deal in a year and may be able to do much better the second time. _A girl does ,not necessarily have to know ail the songs and yells to become a Pepper as she needs
to know only one song and one yell for her tryout. She will eventually learn the rest anyway. She added that a Pepper does not have to know a lot about sports, but she should have a definite liking for them, as the purpose of the club is to support the team, and Peppers are required to attend all games. "To be a Pepper, a girl must also keep her grades up," she remarked. "One who sits and does her fingernails and talks to her neighbor during the game is not a desirable Pepper. Peppers are chosen to yell," she commented. Mrs. Dodge remarked that Peppers' duties are very heavy and there is much inconvenience. A Pepper must have the willingness to co-operate at all times. She gave us an example of the six
Four Essentials Of Salesmanship Related Recently .
Between the Book Ends
Essential qualities of a good advertising person, W. E, Martin, publisher of Shopping Guide, believes are keen observation, perseverence, enthusiasm and e-xtreme honesty.
BY JANET McDONALD. Grandmother Drives. SouthHenleys. . Since the seaon has now arrived when we all dream of taking .a trip some place or another, this_ novel is very timely. "Grandmother" iL57 year old Constance Jordan Henley who, 'o/ith her nephew, Joe, went from Glendale, California to Ushuaia, southern most town on the face of the globe. Most of this extended tour was made in a station wagon called "Oldsie" . . . However, she also traveled by steamer, on horseback, in a crude wool boat, on foot and aboard a train during the course of her trip. This trip is the longest, unsponsored one of its type ever made by man, let alone a woman. The total mileage was 33,674. Throughout the book she describes the beautiful scenery, the people and their habits, the hardships and all the details about the Pan-American highway which was at that time only 90 percent finished. The back section of the book is filled with photographs taken on the trip by Joe. This book is recommended to all travel lovers.
Students Model And Entertain at Local Style Shoiv Walking do:wn the runway, this way and that, and walking back to the stag-e was the occupation of· six Lincoln high girls as models last Saturday afternoon, April 6. The models were Jo Anne Heuertz, Norma Kroeller, Mary Helen Mallory, Norma Nordahl, Ann Jeannette Smith and Jean Steven. The style show was held at a local department store, sponsored by the Simplicity Pattern Company. Miss Ann Thomas had charge of conducting the show, fitting the garments and telling the audience about each gown that was modeled. After the style show, the L.H.S. boys quartet sang two numbers, and Bob Graham played his accordian. A magician finished up the show with his card tricks, disappearing coins, and other feats of magic.
basketball tournament games where every girl had to be there at 5:30, even though the game didn't start until after 9:00. The girls had to sit still in the section, r ather than run around, to await Lincoln's game. Also the Peppers have charge of "pep" assemblies and the . main burden of team backing and school spirit rests on their shoulders. "I believe that the present way of judging tryouts is the best and fairest way possible so far as I know," Mrs. Dodge said in closing, "but I am open for any suggestions. There are so many tryouts and some girls are absolute strangers. I, personally, judge girls, knowing them makes no difference on what they present at their tryout. I feel this is the best way to choose girls to make up a club like the peppers.
"Salesmanship is a study in itself," Mr. Martin said, "but plenty of practical experience, tact and confidence in what you are selling are also necessary." Shopping papers originated at Cleveland, Ohio, in 1921; Shopping Guide was organized March 22, 1931. Hardly a city with a population of 100,000 doesn't have a shopping paper. The majority are merchant owned.
Question of the Week When the question, "If you had your way what glad rags would you like to see the (girls) (boys) draped out in at ~chool tomorrow?" was put to ;ome of the characters of L . H. S. these are the answers yoUJI' inquisitive reporter got: Shirley Boeke: "Size 13 shoes." (Now Shirley, who wears that size shoes?) Phyllis (Torchy) Banks: "Pale green pinafores." Alice Jo Smith: "Roller skates and sombreros." Beverly Reed: "Scotch kilts!" Lois Moline: "All in letter sweaters." Eleanor Krajicek: "Bow ties." (Oh Fll'ankie!) Charlotte Large: "Knee pants." (My mama done told me.) Dick ~erritt: "As Midge would say, 'Let comfort dictate your draperies.' " Russell Morfey: "Cords, sweatshirts and clodhoppers." Paul Sheldon: "Wild and wool~ cowboy duds: (Go West young man, go west!! Ah yes.)" Bob Cardwell: 'Grass skil'ts.'' Eugent Fast: "Bathing suits" (Now Eugene). Warren Dunn: "Gym shorts." Dick Means: "Coveralls! (that is)."

The Los Angeles shopping paper has the largest circulation with three-fourths of a million papers twice weekly. "Shopping papers ·have been so successful throughout the United States,'1 Mr. Martin said, "because they fill the apparent need of merchants by blanket coverage of their immediate trade area -and an advertising rate that permits a more liberal use of space. "Publishers reserve the right to ex c 1 u d e unethical advertisers," said Mr. Martin. "Most papers have standard advertising re~ quirements; Lincoln Shopping Guide excludes all liquor advertising and all quackery, prohibits misrepresentation, and especially the use of superlatives.''
frey, April 10. Such activities as swimming, golf and tennis . are a few of the things that keep Jo Jen busy at school. In regard to the similarity between Monticello and Lincoln high, Jo related that the student governing body resembles our student council. There are eight girls on this council, four representing the preps, or high school girls, and four representing college girls. These two groups work together for the benefit of their respective classes.

Mrs. Ruby Evans, Bookroom Clerk,
Takes Care of School's 26,138 Books
Open Forum Dear Editor: As a senior, I am interested especially this semester to leave Lincoln high, thinking it in tip top shape. I am writing this letter to you with a few things in mind and they pertain to the auditorium. The draperies above the stage look as if they were going to fall and I believe .they have been that way for quite some time. The one in the middle is the worst. An excuse might be. given that they are hard to get down and up; an elderly man has his troubles getting down and up, but somehow he does it. Somebody must have _put them up, so someone can do it again. The curtains on the windows are pretty dirty and could stand what looks to be their annual five-year cleaning. Another thing that gives the auditorium a bad appearance is that when the advertising posters are taken down, the stickers are often left on the wall. Let me ' remind you that I am not writing this letter criticizing the school, but merely as a suggestion on how to make our school appear better. Thank you. Sincerely yours, Dean Hobson.
"Caring for the 26,138 textbooks of Lincoln high means a lot of mending," explained Mrs. Ruby Evans, bookroom attendant. "I do all the mending of books here at school," she said, "but all books that need to be bound are sent to a local bindery. We have 300 books ready to go now, because," she continued, "during the war we were unable to have so many bound. Fifteen hundred to 2,000 books were sent out before we started doing our own mending, compared with only 400 that were sent out to be bound last year. "A flexible book glue is used to fix loose pages, which comes in cakes of five, seven and onehalf, and ten pounds. The cakes are cut down into small cakes for melting. An automatic, electr ically heated glue pot is used for this process. The glue pot keeps the glue flexible and regulates the amount of heat needed. "I have four helpers during the ·s ummer for repairing books, here at Lincoln high, and at other schools in the city," she commented. The entire month of June is spent checking in textbooks, and as high as 150 · l'ast books are found in lockers at this time. All
books are kept in numerical order, with numbers written on the outside in white ink and shellacked over to protect each number. "We have a total of 26,138 textbooks which include 2,316 of commercial, 9,785 of English, 2,267 of social science, 4,046 of mathe_m atics, 2,564 of science, 3,992 of languages, and 830 of home economics books," she replied when asked about books she handles. She said that at least ·once a month she checks with the teach·ers whose names are in the back of lost books to find the pupils to whom they belong. This way lost books are eventually recovered. "It helps very much if the pupils refrain from marring the books with pencils. Book covers are issued to all teachers and every pupil should use them. Other· pupils must use the same books," she added; "therefore they must be well taken care of." A new book cart .has qeen secured for the bookroom this semester. It has three shelves and h e 1 p s greatly in transporting books about school. Bookroom attendant was formerly a man's job before the war. Mrs. Evans replaced"'the last man when he left for the army three years ago.

'What's in a Name?' Is Query Caused By Name Twisters of Faculty Members
ETHEL BRYAN'!
EDNA BRYAN
Miss Edna Bryan and Miss Ethel Bryant are continually getting mail, grade cards, and notices mixed, but last week was undoubtedly the first time their pictures have ever been confused. Miss Bryant is the one interested in poetry and Shakespeare, but the baby picture accompanying her write-up in last week's Advocate was of Miss Edna Bryan. Being the only twin on Lincoln high's faculty is a major claim of
Miss Bryan's. Her twin brother resides in California. She has a bachelor of scien'ce degree from the University of Nebraska and she also attended Columbia university. Lincoln high has been the scene of all of her teaching experience. She has taught mathematics and physics '. and these are her main interests. She has always lived in Lincoln. Her faithful standby is her spaniel, Trailer.

nished by the pupils. English 8 offered in summer school will meet the requirements of English 14 in Lincoln high, so English 14 cannot be taken in Lincoln high by pupils taking English 8 in summer school. English courses will be accepted as literature courses required in the arts and science curriculum in Lincoln high:

Reptiles and Mammals Prove to Be An Interesting Hobby to Knox Jones
Ta'j Mahal, magnificent In dian temple, Okinawa, and other places visited by a serviceman were the keynotes of the joint meeting of the art club and camera club Monday, April 8. These points of interest, on colored slides, were shown by Stanley Sohl, L.H.S. graduate. He photographed the pictures during his army life. · The great garden of Taj Mahal is divided into four sections, as shown by the slides. This was done so that each of the emperor's four daughters could have her own garden. Another slide shown w as of an Okinawan family tomb. An old custom is to put the dead p erson into a pig skin and' two or three years later, scrape off what meat is left on the bones and store the bones in another jug, to make room for the next person. Slid~s of airplanes and other topics were also shown.
"Working with reptiles and mammals might seem strange to some, but to me it has proved a n interesting hobby," Knox Jones, a senior at L .H.S., stated. He is the · student assistant in t he zoology division at Morrill hall. Carl W. Manthey, of Lincol n high's faculty, works at the museum during _the summer. Also Jerry Folsom, sophomore, helps out a t Morrill hall. "In my personal collection I have about sixty mounted mammals, thirty reptiles and ten miscellaneous specimens," he continued. "I obtained m any of these ·while v isiting in northern Minnesota." Knox has gone on several trips with scientists of the state museum hunting for mammals and reptiles. He said that as a rule they do not trap the animals. Instead they have a dog find them. At night, skunks, opossums and raccoons are hunted while reptiles, mice and toads are found
under rocks. Live specimens are t aken mostly in southeastern Nebraska. "My most exciting experience came when I was hunti ng snakes. It was the first time I had attempted t o catch a copperhead and it came near t o biting me," K nox related. Mr. Morrill h ad grant ed money only for excavating fossils in western Nebraska. With the cooperation of the game, forestation and parks commission, a collection of modern zoological specimens will be m ade to compar e w ith the fossil coll ection. He said the museum had about sixty skins as the campaign start ed in Febr ua ry. "Dick Loomis, graduate of Lincoln high, interested me in this subject when I was about fiveyears- old. Since, I have taken the hobby as a start for my life work. It is an up and coming field for many to look int o," Knox concluded.

Five copies of the paper cost t h e students twenty- five cents. The paper s will not be used for class recitation, except as something special for extra work. "I believe the paper will interest my classes as well as hel p them u nderstand the Spanish countries better ," Miss Rokahr remarked. "I hope the March 15 issues will be here Friday so that the students may read them over vacation," stated Miss Rokahr.

D. E. A. Tact and courtesy were listed as stepping stones to successful selling by Julian Lyons, head of the millinery department at Golds, at the April 3 meeting of the D. E. A. He lauded the D. E. A. for giv, ing actual practice to ·f uture salesmen. He pointed out that nurses and doctors study and intern before they practice and through the distributive education association, students are really serving their internship. "You must make what you· are sewng appear to be worth more than money in the pocket," he stressed. Mr. Lyons al~o pointed out how important it was for a salesman to adopt the idea that the customer is always honest and well meaning. Self control and imagination are helpful, as is the ability to adopt your actions to those of the customers. Several types of customers were listed by the speaker. Among those mentioned were the talkative, the silent, the decisive, the indecisive, the suspicious and the deliberate. One must use strategy and tact when dealing with each type of customer. Mr. Lyons defined tact of a salesman as never acting as you feel and courtesy as acting within the -lines of the store's policy, Robert Turner, of Men's Wear, was a guest at the meeting.

Red and Blacl~ Capture Own Invitational Meet
. Omaha South came out on the long end of a 2-0 pitching duel Thursday afternoon at the Muny diamond to shut out the Links nine in one of the best pitched contests ever witnessed in L.H.S. circles. Sadil's double proved to be the blow that hurt as Nene-
Beechner's blazing tracksters captured their fourth straight invitational Friday at Memorial stadium and also re-. vised the records with three new m:arks. Herb Gish, Jr. was the only individual to rack a new mark. He finished t he 120 yard high hurdles in 15.2 seconds lowering
man scored from third. In that frame, Neneman, first man up, got a free passage to first after four balls. The burly Packer catcher then stole second and third and score on Jones' long fly to center. George Nutt then settled down to whiff the last two batters, Polito and Rodgers, to retire the side with one run crossing the plate. In that same inning, Howell walked with the potential tying run on first, but Jacobs grounded into a double play to erase Howell. South produced another score in the third after Yambor was hit by a pitched ball, Neneman walked and Sadil walked to fill the pads. Lefty again came through in the clutch, letting only one run in on Polito's grounder. Both pitchers, Nutt and Smejkal, hurled perfect ball. Rightfielders Chuck Hughes, handled five chances against the sun with-' out an error and also got one of the two safe blows off Smejkal with a Texas league single to left field. The veteran Omiia infield handled the sizzlers perfectly and with rifle arm pegs to first kept the Links off the bases. Pete Kortum was picked off first in the final inning after singling to second base, to choke out the last inkling of a rally. The Red and Black nine was playing without the services of Mel Knopp, and also this encounter was Lincoln's first, while South has played Boys Town, whom it dropped 6-2. These .two factors probably made a difference in the game, although it was a close tilt all the way. ab ho a O.

By BOB BECKER. Omaha SltJ.l.th, Thursday, proved that early competition played a decisive advantage in victory as it romped over Chuck Worrall's diamondmen by a 2-0 decision. Lincoln played a better game of ball in all departments except batting. The Links definitely lacked hitting- power, but made up for it with fine fielding, The game was practically a pitcher's duel with Lefty Nutt allowing only one hit and fanning six while Joe Smekjai, the Packers' hurler, granted two safe blows and left nine of the Capital Citians holding the bat. Friday, Beechner's cindermen proved their worth and ability to go on to probable state champions. The Links took their own invitational for the fourth straight time, also chalking up three new meet records. Herb Gish, Jr, chalked up a new record topping the high timbers in 15.2 l~wering the previous record of 15.9. Jack Deffenbaugh captured laurels with his new mark of 11 feet 4 inches in the pole vault over a record 10-10%. Links Relay team secured the other record breaking 800 yard relay with a blazing time of 1 :37 .8 over their old record of 1:38.5. TEAM TOTALS.

'Web' Emery's Tutored Tankers Fi·nish First Aquatic Season Since War; .Even Up Rounding out their season of tank meets, the Lincoln Mermen boast a record of two wins, two losses and a third place in the university invitational. Coach Web Emery, who has been tutoring the boys as well as carrying a schedule at the University of Nebraska, is satisfied with the team's showing because the club had been disbanded during the war. The Links have two victories over Boys Town and two losses to Omaha Tech who did not drop the wet sport during the war. Dick S harrar was the only individual winner over the Tech crew, taking the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 1:04. The medley squad took a first against the Omahans, and the unbeatable 200-yard relay men also placed first. The relay teams consisted of Bud Lambert, Bob Phelps, Jack Campbell and B ob Stone.
In the first meet, Tech thrashed the Links 37-29, but three weeks later the Emerymen, much im-
proved since the Maroons stiff competition, finally made 30-36. Sharrar again was the only individual winner in this meet, taking first in the 200-yard free-style in 2:47.2. The Links also captured the 150-yard medlay with ·Thompsen, Eddy and Campbell composing the teams. Sharrar, Stone, Lambert and Owen secured first in the 200-yard freestyle relay with a 1:52.5. Jack Campbell gained a second in the back stroke in both meets and took first with Father Flannagan's lads. The Red and Black swimmers had things all their own way with Boys Town. Father Flanagan's boys allowed the Lincoln mermen to have things almost entirely their own way. The first meet ended with the Red and Black surpassing t he Boys Town club by a 58-8 count, while the second encounter netted the Links a 47-18 margin. Lincoln seemed to be the weak.est in the diving department, with

The remaining two will be matched together to form the doubles team. The tennis tournament has only two left in the finals, Carl Fahrenbach and Dick Means. Fahrenbach came through with a win over Willis Polite in the Round Robin by the count of (6-0), (5-7), (6-3). Seven boys are left in the semi-final golf tournament going into the last round. Finalists include Bob Wiley, who will tackle Jerry Beck, and Jack Heckenlively trying for a win over Stanley Stroh. Dick Lauer will play the winner of the Ted O'Shea and Willis Polite match. In the consolation flight, in the first round match Jim Thomas won over Bob Fulk.

Bill Eyth's lunge at the tape wasn't enou~h to overtake Lincoln's Ed Longacre (center) in the first heat of the Lincoln Invitational 100-yard dash. The Beatrice lad finished third as Longacre's :10.5 was matched by Bob Reifschneider of Lincoln in the second heat. Third in the above heat was Duane Free of Wymore, putting him in a tie for fourth with Beatrice's Johnson in the final tabulation. Calvin E. Nuss, '41, has been discharged after two and a half years of service in the army. He was a staff sergeant and in charge of a supply warehouse. "Cal" was in Hawaii and then Saipan.

t he others very nicely handled. Dick Sharrar and Jack Campbell were undoubtedly the mainstays for the club throughout the entire season, Dick excelling in the 100 and 200 yard freestyle and Jack capitalizing in the backstroke and crawl. Next year the swimming team should prove itself much improved and may gain revenge over t he Maroons from Omaha. About half of the squad are undergraduates and will return for next year's competition, with no doubt many more high schools resuming t he "wet" sport. Lauded, too, is "Web" Emery, who coached the boys along with his own courses at the university. Web has done a fine job and proved himself a most able instructor. All-in-all, the swimming season proved most commendable and showed that there was sufficient interest in the sport to warrant a good team. Next year the team should be everi better an d undoubtedly Lincoln will once again resume the activity on a larger scale and soon make its mark as one of the best squ ads in the state;

Pupils Start To Consider Summer Jobs With · summer not far away, high school student s are beginning to consider jobs for the summer. What is t he best way to get a job? Well, for most jobs; students do not n eed to have h ad experience, but must approach the employer acting as if they really want to get the job and not as if they don't especially care whether they do or do not. Th e latter attitude means almost "definitely not,'' .according to a local employer. .AP• plicants must also act and talk seriously and intelligently. With so many returned servicemen, high. school students have stiff competition, and must be dependable and work to the best of their abilit y to keep desirable jobs. Sl/c Robert J. Little was recently discharged at St. Louis, Missouri. Robert has been in the service. 32 months, 24 of them spent in the Pacific on a gasoline tanker. After being at sea he was taken off h is ship due to a broken arm he received while in a typhoon on the China sea. Bob at• t ended L. H. S. in 1938.

THE ADVOCATE
Enrollment, Sex-Ratio Nearly Average ~gain Girls! The male pop u 1 at ion around L.H.S. is really on the upgrade. We now have 48 percent boys enrolled, which is practically normal. As you all have probably been aware, for the last few years we've had less than 45 percent. No wonder there were so many female stag lines. Another thing; for the first time in six years our enrollment has increased instead of decreased. In- 1940, we had 2,745 pupils; last year only 1,838. This great decrease was due to several reasons, the first being the war. So many families moved to the coast and defense jobs, while boys enlisted even before gr~duation in one or another branch of the service. A second reason for the decrease was birth-rate. All in all it just happened to hit us at once. Cases of tardiness of pupils this year are much under last year; in fact, even under our long-time average. However, there are still too many. Why don't we try to help bring up our record?

Gardens symbolize peace and after war our gardens must mean more to us than mere green oases of escape. Our peaceful planting can contribute much toward national unity besides arming our homes with fresh vitamins and giving the surplus to war-torn nations which have millions of starving people who would be happy to have scraps from our dining room tables. Every spare foot of gr ound should be pu~ to work so our consciences can be clean of starving eyes. Even apartment window sills can be made attractive planted with feathery-foli~ged carrots, radishes, instead of pe· tunias and geraniums. Food wins wars and writes the peace. Food-producing can reduce the budget, make contributions to national economy, and r elieve starved nations. Your present flower beds may easily be converted into food producers, for vegetable gardens can have charm and attraction. A five-by-six foot plot will give you a start and will give some child overseas a new and hopeful out· look on the future. Gardening is fun and would be a fine investment for you, your family, your school, and your community.

Open Forum To the Editor: Shortage of golf and tennis -equipment becomes more a cute as the season progresses. Many boys out for both sports are asking why the athletic department doesn't furnish more equipment for the golf and tennis teams as it does for other sports. · Another thing t hat is bad is the lack of a place in which to play tenn is and golf. In the case of tennis there is a chance that the school could have a court of it s own. There are a number of places where it could be put. If not that, the school could pay for a part time membership at the South street courts. In the case of golf there obviously could not be a golf course on the school campus, but the school could, with little expense, furnish a part- time membership at one of the golf courses here in town. No one likes to go out to practice every night for just two .meets but that's what the t enn is team must do. At present there are only two meets, both with · Boys T own, scheduled for the tennis team. There are besides this the Missouri Valley and State meets, a total of four meets. This is not nearly enough in the estimation of the players. April 24 the golf team went to Fremon t. Last year Fremont came here to play the tennis team and this year the tennis team was supposted to go up there for a return t rip. But the golf team went and because a meet was not scheduled with them this year, t he tennis team did not go. It seems that they both m ight go. Meets with other schools is the only thing that k eeps a sport alive. If there cont inues to be a shortage of them and a shortage of equipment in future Y.ears, boys will lose int erest and there will n ot be any t eams. Yours t ruly, DONN DAVIS.
Spring Vacation Hit Lincoln High Pupils Here is the typical experience of the typical high school student. Monday morning April 12. Awaking at 8:30, he realizes he is late for school ; he dumps a bucket of ice cold w ater on h is head, peels off his snuggies, throws on his clothes, grabs his books, winds his yoyo and .dashes m a dly for school Reaching school he finds the · place is deserted. A brilliant thought hits him-Spring vacation!!! He dashes madly h ome, unw inds yoyo, throws down his book s, peels off his clothes, throws on his snuggies, shuts off the cold water faucet which he had left running, and leaps into bed where he stays until Monday, April 19.

'Space and More Space Is Badly Needed For Our City Library,' Says Lillian Ekblad "Space and more space is badly needed f or the library," stated Miss Lillian Ekblad; professional librarian at the Lincoln city library. "A floor plan has been made for a new city library and is waiting to be voted upon. "A new library would give more and better service to the public. An auidtorium has been included in the plans. There would be space for a browsing and a newspaper room. At present, some books have to be discarded t o make r oom for newer ones because the librar y is so crowded for space." A recent improvement in the lib rary has been the fixing-up of an auditorium in the basement. This auditorium is used for libr ary staff meetings, conventions and, on Saturday afternoons, m oving pictures for school children. Another new improveme~t is the newspaper files. Newspaper s are kept in file in the basement and brought upstair s on request , since there is no spa ce upstairs to keep them," explained Miss Ekblad. "The library makes use of all the modern methods as far as possible, but the building is old." "Mystery, ' westerns' and romances are the types of books most frequently read,'' said Miss

One year ago-Plans were made for an all school picni~ at Capitol Beach to take the place of Olympics. The subject of milit ary t raining was chosen for in terclass debate. In the sports news, Lincoln walked away with the Nebraska Cit y invitational track meet. Five years ago-Senior speakers were chosen. New amendments added t o t he studen t council constit ution were: that n omination of m embers be done by a petition, t hat scholarship r equirement be r aised. Ten years ago-Junior Play, "Growing P ains,'' was p resented. Some L. H. S. art was r epresent ed in a national tour.

Abolishment of O.P.A. Discussed at Forum "Should the O.P.A. be abolished?", this timely topic was the f eature of the Monday, April 22, meeting of the Forum. Since two more meetings remain on the books, election of officers was postponed until the next time. Roger Hancock, president, presided.
Between The Bookends " History Sings" is divided into six main sections. Each explains the beginning of music in America and this story is almost t he story of America itself.

From fur and trading posts and forts were heard the rhythms of French-Canadian oarsmen. The famous gold rushes made many of the so- called "gold" songs. The organ was first played in the U.

Ekblad. "P eople who read these visit the library frequently, as they finish t heir books quickly and come to check out more. Books seem to be checked out the most during January, February and March." When books become too old and not likely to be checked out or called for,. they are withdr awn from the library and thrown aw ay. Every w eek about t wenty- five new books, including latest editions a nd copies of older books, are put on exhibit in the libr ary. Abou t twenty-four books are sent to t he juvenile depar tment and t hirty books to the branch libraries every week. At present there are 154, 700 books in the library. This is more t han five years ago, bu t 2,000 less than last year. "People as a whole, are prompt in returning books," said Miss Ekblad. She explained that when a book is reported lost it is paid for in ten days. If returned within six months, the money is refunded minus previous fine on book. In 1945 the libr ary was minus 259 books which had been eitther lost or discarded. A check on .books is m ade ever y four months. "The library is u p t o date on the latest books and there is an
extremely good variety of reference books," she said. A valuable collection of books written by Nebraskan authors is in t he librar y. S ome books not checked out because of their value ar e art books containing copies of paintin gs by famous m ast ers. New books are sent for a nd bought from publishing houses a nd local concerns. The money · to pay for new books is obtained from t axes paid by Linocln t axpayers. The present time shows. 26,000 people holding library cards. The library advertises itself through reading cont ests for childr en and thr ough a children's radio program. E very week the head librarian sends a letter to the newspaper containing lists of lat est books. " There is a need for professional librarians;" Miss Ekblad said. "Requirements n ecessary to become a professional librarian -are: high school diploma, four years of u niveristy and one year of library school t raining." Miss Ekblad has received t his training plus a year at the Univeristy of Illinois. There she received her bachelor of library arts degree.

Visual Education Mummers Officers Benefits Students Are Elected
Visual aid is becoming increasingly important, with teachers from high schools throughout the country meeting to discuss problems of this modern method of education. By these efforts, students everywhere are enjoying the privilege . of seeing points in their study course first hand. To what extent visual aid has been used in Lincoln high is shown by the lists of pictures seen by various classes in just the past few weeks. "Report to .t he People," a film presented by the National F ound ation for the Control of Infantile Paralysis, was shown Friday, ·t o Miss Ethel Murray's second period girls hygiene class. The film related that in 1916 the children of New York who were once happy and playful were struck by the most serious epidemic of infantile paralysis know n. Cases became prominent in other t owns along the Atlantic seacoast. Signs were placed at the entrance reading, "New Yorkers stay away,"
for the citizens wished to guard themselves.. Every few minutes new cases were r eported until the total reached five hundred thousand.

Rosborough
Is Speal{er At D.E.A. Alan Rosborough, of the training department of Gold & Co., was the guest speaker of the distributive education association meeting held Wednesday, April 10. General qualities looked for in a person applying for a job include self-expression, earnestness ;md intelligence, according to the speaker. "The more you know about your merchandise, the more interesting you are to the customer," stated Mr. Rosborough. The applicant should be able to express himself or herself clearly and tell why he is interelited in selling as a vocation. The person who can't keep up a conversation without being asked every question, will undoubtedly make a poor sales person. Mr. Rosborough, who interviews applicants for positions at Gold's, stated that one should learn as much as possible about the field he is most interested in, read books, magazines and keep in contact with people to become more acquainted with the environment. The person who is "dumb but beautiful" will not get very far in life. Eight selling points on merchandise handled by stores were discussed by Mr. Rosborough. Five important ones are durability, comfort, beauty, style, and use and care.

Diamondmen Lose Two; Prep Tops Links Twice By 10-5 And 7 -4 Counts Nutt Absent In First Tilt, Close Till Fifth Playing without the services .of George 'Lefty' Nutt, Lincoln's star pitcher, who was at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, taking the induction examination, the Links dropped its second game in three starti, 10-5, to Creighton Prep Monday, April 22, on the Muny diamond. Both teams were having fielding troubles, as Lincoln accounted for 11 errors compared to 6 blunders by Prep. At the beginning of the fifth, Lincoln had put over five runs, with two of them being made on errors, and the Junior Jays likewise had five runs to their credit, but three of these were unearned. At the end of the fifth it looked like anybody's ball game until Bob Pazderka, Creighton Prep catcher, stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded and cracked out a triple, s.c.oring three runs. Pazderka also scored a little later in the sixth on a Lincoln error making the score 10-5, Prep. George McMillan sta rted the game with a quick single and then stole second and third on a bad throw from Catcher Kortum to second baseman Knopp. He scored later after his borther Jack had flied out to Ruby.

For the first time, since a trophy has been awarded to the winners of the two mile rel ay, a Nebraska team won the event at the T.J~ relays held in Council · Bluffs, Iowa. The Lincoln high team, consisting of Jim Mikkelsen , Ted Gunderson, Tom Harley and Don Bryant, took first place. Thomas Jefferson high school won the event in 1940, keeping the trophy until 1945 w hen Shenandoah h igh school earned i t . The m ost outstanding diffe rence of the T.J. relays from t he m eets held in Lincoln is the a ddition of freshmen or ninth graders to the Omaha a nd Iowa squads. For a lmost every event in which tenth throug h twelfth graders could compete, there was one similar for the freshmen. Thus high schools with freshmen received poin ts in events which Lincoln could not even enter.

BY BOB BECKER.
Red and white crepe dipping from the chandeliers, from which hung green and white tassels and large L.H.S. letters with the numbers '46 and '4'7 over the band stand, carried out the colors. of ·the. two· classes in the decorations for the junior-seriior. prom, Friday, May 3, at the Antelope pavilion. Ferns and baskets of spirea and snowballs were banked ·around the platform. Th'e Smith-Warren orchestra ·furnished the music,· which, for the main: part, was Sweet and slow. During intermission,· Bud Imlay did a tap dance and Helmut Sienknecht sang "Always." The feminine half of the galaaffair appeared in summer dresses while the males donned sport coats with solid color trousers. Chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Davis, Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Gunderson, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Beechner, and Mr. and. Mrs. Lyle Weyand. For Tefreshment punch was served, which the couples consumed .most willingly. •· Comments frotn a few of those attending. seemed to indicate that the .prom was a success ~nd greatly appreciated. . Here are a few of the comments of pupils at .the prom. Dick Russell-~'Too hot." Bev erly Thompson-"Simply wonderful." Pat Price--"Pretty keen." Jerry Mapes..:...."Really turned out o.k ." Ed Weir-"Really something new. I hope they keep having them." This is the first interclass prom the school has had fof two y~ars.

Help Fight Cancer New Slogan for Us "Fight Cancer." That slogan is being echoed throughout the country. Cancer is one of the most dreaded diseases of our day and rates second in taking lives. Cancer kills 18 every hour and one out of 10 dies of cancer. A cancer drive is now in progress and contributions of every size are being sought. Posters, pamphlets and movies are being shown to try to help people understand the great menace. The best way in which high school students can contribute is by learning all they can of this disease. Thousands of lives can be saved by learning to recognize possible cancer symptoms early. Cancer used to be very "hush-hush" and it was considered indecent to speak of it. It was then one of the mysterious diseases known. However if cancer would come out into the open more, people would learn how to recognize cancer, and many lives would be spared. If cancer is permitted to continue its vicious way, it will kill 17,000,000 of us who are living today. The public hasn't been aware of the death toll of cancer, as it doesn't cause epidemics that sweep communities. It is not contagious, but can strike down anyone in any walk of life. Cancer can be cured. Medical science approves of only three ways; X-ray, surgery and radium. The earlier cancer is recognized the better the chances are of recovery. A complete physical examination each year is one good prevention of cancer. Posters have been placed in our halls, and the hygiene teachers have pamphlets explaining thfs life-stealing- dif'.c~se. Learn ail you can about cancer and help protect lives!
"fflake It Your Duty Today; Jlote at School Elections With your vote at the polls during elections, you have a hand in the school government. Right now when there are many important elections taking place for the next year; there may be nominees running that you do not know. Th~ wise thing to do is find some information about those persons. Find out if a candidate is qualified to hold the position for which he is running. Remember, too, your v~ry close friends may not always make the best leaders when it comes to voting for an office. Perhaps "gripes" would be fewer if all pupils would acquaint themselves with tne leaders in the school and then vote. 'T'~ D,,.~1~-!n"l. I-t's Timh - w•• ""'-' '-'It:::: Your Spring Wardrobe .L V'
•
l'f,~ff,i,;::itr,
Spring fashions is one of the latest topics among the girls at the present. What to wear for school, sports and "dress"? In the home economics department style show the girls are going to exhibit what you yourself can do for your wardrobe with a needle, some thread and a piece of material (if you are lucky and can get the material.) They will particularly feature the cotton dresses which are so popular for school wear. For sports there are many variations from shorts and halters to long-sleeved jackets worn with slacks. In the "dress-up" line perhaps the majority of girls are wearing either cap-sleeved dresses or suits. Every item exhibited at the style show will have been made by the girl herself, so if you swoon over them, then get yourself the pattern and try your luck with needle and thread. If you get stuck your Mom can probably come to the rescue.

Yokohama Looks Like Junk Pile; Tokyo Still Intact That Tokyo is still pretty much intact in the modern area around the emperor's palace grounds, is the comment of Ronald M. Barnes, Sl/ c, in a recent letter. "Yokohama is by far the most devastated of the cities around here," he said. "It resembles a hug_e junk pile,. only spreading · over hundreds of acres." Ronald, editor of t he Links in '45, recently made his first visit to Tokyo on the electric railway which connects Yokosuka, Yokohama and Tokyo. Among the interesting things he saw were the Armed Forces radio building and the emperor's palace. "It was interesting to note how some of the Japanese bowed toward the palace and others hur~ ried on their way," he said. "Evidently many of them are ignoring the emperor's denunciation of his heavenly being." Ronald passed the huge Mitsubishi bank building, w hich covers .an entire block. One of the most ~Htcrestir1g places he visited was the Radio Tokyo building which now houses the Armed Forces radio. The building is very modern, having studios of an sizes, containing all the up - to - date equipment necessary for proper operation. Close to the Radio Tokyo building is the Domei News building and Hibiyo Hall where the Nippon Philharmonic gives its concerts.
York Juniors Visit Lincoln High On 'Sneak Day' Part of York high school's junior class visited Lincoln high during first period on April 30. About thirty students and two sponsors came to Lincoln on their "junior sneak day." Home room representatives, Kathryn Swanson and Margaret Chamberlin, showed them around the schOol. ·Especially interesting to them was Lincoln high's greenhouse and the boys' cooking class w hich, at the time, was making chocolate pudding. The York students were also impressed by the shops and the library. Because of senior tests, they could not see the auditorium. Their main comments were on the large size of the school.

uable assets a person can have. A critical situation can often be saved by a humorous remark for a pertinent story. Without it, life would be drab and dull. A persons's whole day is improved by something funny being said or by some funny situation. It is just as valuable however to be able to take a joke as to give one. Usually a humorous remark will follow a particular situation; for this reason, it is very difficult to write. One who can write a laughable story has a rare gift. "Happy Stories,'' by Stephen Leacock, is a collection of humorous sketches each with the impossible twist. Some of the funniest jokes are based upon the reader's understanding of the subject. One example, a humorous .hair-raiser, "Pawn to King's Four," has to do with chess. "Mama's Bank A,ccount," by Kathryn Forbes, is the story of a family of Norwegian immigarnts who settled in San Francisco. Each chapter really is an entirely different story about the same family, but in· each Mama always saves the situation by her understanding way. Besides humor, it has some sentimental value. "Thurber's Carnival,'' by James Thurber, is another collection of short stories from his own life, others' lives, and some, entirely fictional. Some are accompanied by his own drawings. One section is dedicated entirely to witty poems.

Students Observe Ventilation System In Recent Tour How Lincoln high ventilates its classrooms and keeps the germs out of the swimming pool V·ic.S revealed to Carl Manthey's fourth period physiology 2 class on a recent tour of the ventilating system. All the dust particles in the air in a classroom are removed by a humidifier which consists of many long pipes with small holes, from which water comes out in a fine spray. Fresh air from outside is brought into heating coils, which make the air from 65 degrees to 68 degrees. It is then blown through · tunnels and pushed up into ventilators to the classrooms. A filtering tank with sand and gravel at the bottom carries 60,000 gallons of wat er through the swimming pool every 24 hours. This is done to remove the impurities from the water. Liquid gas under pressure controls the valve which regulates the amount of chlorine mixed with water in the swimming pool. One hundred and fifty pounds of chlorine last about seven months.
New Lock Soon To Be Delivered New locks for· lockers are on their way and are to be used to replace broken and missing locks. "The new locks are combination,'' stated Louy Brown, custodian in charge of lockers, "but there is a key-hole in the dial for a master key so the locker can be opened in case the dial or combination is broken." Approximately 200 lockers out of the school's 2,000 do not have locks on them because of the shortage of materials to repair the broken locks. Many pupils have been forced to double up and two use the same locker. Mr. Brown hopes that soon delivery can be made and the situation be eased. In the meantime pupils have been urged to open and close their lockers with care so as not to inflict any more damage to the locks or the lockers themselves.

'Progressing Science Should Promote Health for Coming Years'--Dr. Adams "Science is progressing by leaps and bounds--there seems to be no end to discoveries as each new device opens up into a lot more," stated Dr. R. B. Adams, director of the public school staff, in a recent interview. "There are many phases of science and one of the influences it should have on the youth today is to promot e health for years to come. New equipment and modern scientific devices h ave made living more comfortable and sanitary in the home and community," added Dr. Adams. When asked about his opinion of the ultra modern lamps, the doctor revealed that the new lamp discoveries are healthful and beneficial, but before Lincoln schools could ever hope t o obtain them, the lamps would have to be priced on a lower basis. The ultra-violet lamps would take the pl ace of chlorine in the ~)~v'.:~ing pool and also kP.ep germs from the schoolroom. "There are so many duties of the health director that it is hard to enumerate them. Some of the specific duties are directing a staff of 10 nurses, several part-time eye; ear and nose doctors, two dentists, and other doctors on call. The directors of the staff take charge of annual physical examination for all students and all athletic teams, weighing and measuring, hearing tests, contagion calls at a student's home, advice to parents and students, he a 1th
School En joys Brief Visit Of Educative ·Birds Two new members were added to the school's already growing list of pets, but these two stayed only for a very short time. Two baby robins flying in the hall by the southwest entrance didn't seem too happy to be in school and wete eagerly trying t o make a hasty retreat. On . each attempt to get through the glass windows they met with opposition and only succeeded in getting a . bang on the head. Finally almost -exhausted, one little robin fell to the floor, and a bird loving student lifted it up in his hands, opened the door and freed the frightened creature. It almost seemed, as the bird flew a way, he solemnly waved goodbye to the school.

To the Editor: There has been some comment on the pros and cons of choosing cheerleaders next fall. We would like to express our opinions on the fact that not just the cheerleaders from the preliminaries be chosen this spring, but also the finalists. The idea of having the preliminaries this spring and the finals next fall seems hard to understand. The twelve who are chosen for the finals practice hard all summer and when the six are chosen, the remaining will be greatly disappointed. It would be a great letdown for the remaining six who didn't make cheerleaders after the effort they had put forth all summer. ·why not either choose them this spring or next fall and not keep the suspense for the twelve finalists all summer? Another viewpoint to be considered is the fact that the entire student body, including our seniors, know the students who are trying out- the present student body has a better idea who would be capable of taking cheerleader responsibilities for next year. From past experience we know the incoming sophomores are confused in t he first pep assemblies and are sometimes influenced by others in cheering and selecting cheerleaders. FRANCIS ·WALLACE.

teaching, nutrition, guidance clinic for students who for some reason d o not do well at school, immunization, sanitation and first aid. The director also has an interest in the lighting, heating, ventilation and painting of the board of education building," stated Dr. Adams. The doctor compared the health of Lincoln high school with that of the nation. As t ime goes on with medical advancement, t he health n aturally is better. Dr, Adams finds the health of Lin• coln public schools as good as, or better than that of most towns of its size, or even larger cities. "Teeth are the most prominent defect," he commented, while adding that pupils were cooperative during physical examinations. "Appropriating funds for the care of defects of the pupils unable to secure a private ·physician is not a function of t he school. We refer such students to the University hospital, City General hospital or to the clinic of the City Health department," declared Dr. Adams. Queried about improvements of . the medical departments, the doctor pointed out that in time, a few improvements would come, while at the present, new audiometers for hearing t ests were being ordered and the various build· ings were being painted. "Staying at home the first few days with a cold is the best way a student can cooperate and strive for better health," pointed out Dr. Adams. "A student should always stay at home when he is sick, preventing exposure of others," he added.

Lt. j .g. B. M. Breggs Informs Boys About Rugged Navy Program Lt. (j. g.) B. M. Breggs addressed a group of senior boys on V-5 Navy training Monday, April 29. V-5 provides college education for those enthusiastic about f lying who pass the "tough" examinations -both physical ai-id .mental. 1 Vision and hearing has to be ·perfect; a boy must be at least 5' 6" and not over 6'4", w eigh at least 124 pounds and no more than -200 pounds. His grades would have to average 3 and he must pass the mental examinations before train~ ing to be a navy pilot. He continued that two plans had been laid before Congress. In the first plan, a five-year enrollment can be undertaken if desired. Before this can be taken, these subjects are required: college physics, solid geometry, plane geometry, spherical geometry and two years of English. All high school subjects such as mathematics, English, science and history are valuable. In the second plan the college requirements are the same as in the first plan, although the navy pays for a two-year college course including books and equipment. If congress does pass either of these two plans and the President signs it, will be used by the naval aviation flight . training plan. Information and applications may be had by writing to the Naval Aviation Selection Board. 204 Finance Building, 1009 Baltimore Ave., Kansas City, Missouri.

Tackle B.T., Plattsmouth
With a record of two victories against four defeats, the L. H. S. diamond squad will play host to the Plattsmouth nine Tuesday, May 7, at the Muny field and will then journi;!y to Boys Town, May 9. P l!ittsmouth's squad in previous years has been an excellent b all club, but is only a little better than fair th is year, _as is the case with many a team. At Flannagan 's Village, a little rougher time will be anticip ated as t he B. T. boys are ,graced with six -r etur ning toters. In last year's games with P lattsmouth, Randy Barren gave up a - grand total of only s'e ven hits i n a two game series, the first game a 7-0 shut out, and the second, 4-1, both in Lincoln's favor. In the last game of the '45 season, " Lefty" Nu tt h urled three hit ball to lead his mates t o a 5-1 victory with Boys Town as the victim.
New Addition To Gold Star Service List
Seeking to make a better show.. ing than last year's attempt in the state track meet, in which it placed seventh, the L. H. S. squad will pit its entries against some of the state's best at the University of Nebraska stadium May 11. Lincoln's best performances last year were those of Don Bryant, t hird in the mile; Ed Donegan, tie for third in the high jump; Jack Deffenbaugh, tie for third in the vault; and Gayle Leb.. sack, second place in the discus throw. Considering that last year's -t_rack team _was composed almost entirely of juniors and sopho.. mores, this year's exhibition should prove more inter esting to Links backers, as the experience ' gathered w as valuable. Cleveland Marshall, Omaha Central, and Harold Kopf, Lexington, were the meet standouts last year.

Driving Instructions in School Ideal Says E. O. Grueber, Highway Patrol Driving instructions in high school is a very good idea, but lessons in the construction of the car are equally important, because some people who drive a. car don't know half of t he gadgets or how to repair them, is the opinion of E. 0. Grueber of the stat e safety patrol and head of the driver's license department. "Very few disabled soldiers even with proper attachments would be able to drive. There are very few veterans hospit als where state examiners or state patrol officers are assigned to teach vet erans how to drive, but after completing this examination, certificates are issued by the patrol officer, which are honored in every state in the union,'' declared Mr. Gr<ieber. For the last fifteen to twenty years no equipment for disabled people was made until the war and then most of the automobile manufacturers made such equipment. To get a driver's license, sixteen-year-,olds must show their birth certificat es or an affidavit signed by parent or guardian as a record of birth, and must take a written law test and a vision test .

IEinstein Angledome
Boss Too Has Troubles; Try Thinking Of His Angle So you're planning to get a job this summer. Work a few weeks, earn a few dollars. That's swell, and a wonderful angle too! Of course it is going to be a little tough getting used to following the boss's orders. Now if there were only s~me way you could w.:;rk it so you'd give and not take the orders-if only you could be the employer. But wait, you'd better think that proposition over. You know being the boss isn't all a field of clover. He has his problems, too. Take, for instance, a factory. Long before you're placed in fro~t of a machine and given your job to do, a lot of work and planning has been done which really takes more skill and responsibility than does the actual running of the machine. Therefore the first great job of the management has been to choose the best machine, place it in the most effective spot, and select you as the most skillful person to run it. However, this is only the beginning of their work. They have to put all production on schedule and see that the schedule is kept. Otherwise they hold up the shipping and other plans and delay many otMr people, such as the retailers. Therefore you can see how much simpler your job is in comparison, so this summer when you start working somewhere and the boss gives you a little ?f his responsibility, take it willingly and really follow through. You may have your little troubles, but always remember the boss generally has three or four big industrial problems.
Childhood Imnressions J Of Opera Not True When most of us were small children we got some queer impressions about opera. In our minds it was something meant only for society in top hats and mink furs. ' However, the operas here at Lincoln high . have given many of us a different slant on things. Operas are really "human entertainment." They have in them a certain degree of comedy-yet enough of a serious angle to make them interesting. Most operas are really only idealized life an~ neady everyone likes fairy tales and perfect life, whether he admits it or not. Therefore, for anyone · who cares at. all about drama and music, the opera is wonderful. Really, opera is music in one of its highest forms. Why not see the "Princess Ida" this year? It's quite likely you'll attend all the operas you get a chance to in the future.
l'ur Plentiful· Food Supply G~ves Chance To Aid Needy Feople of the UnJied States are the most foriunate people of the world. Because of our plentiful f.:vod supply, we have agreed to .1e1.q, 'feed the starving people of Greece, Poland, and the other war-torn countries of the world. In these countries, thousands of people are threatened by death from lack of food. The United States is depended upon to do its share in feeding these people and helping them to be self-supporting. Lincoln. high pupils, giving generously to the drive for canned food, and following the plan of choosiI1g other food of the same nutritive value as bread, could feed a number of families for one week. This would be a very helpful practice. We students of Lincoln high should be proud to do something like this to help feed our neighbors across the oceans.

Miss Irene Martin, Theatrical Director, Expresses Desire For Dramatics Class Lincoln high could use a special dramatics class in addition to the Mummers club, according to Miss Irene Martin, director of student productions. "This would probably be possible if enough students expressed a desire for such a class," Miss Martin said. Holding a major in speech from the University of Nebraska, as well as a master 's degree from Northwestern, Miss Martin had taught at Geneva and Milford, Nebraska, and Clarinda, Iow a, previous to coming to Lincoln high. As to what started her interest in dramatics, Miss Martin replied, "I think it must have been due to lack of interest in music. It was either music lessons or dramatics! "I can't say just what my favorite type of play is, but I can tell you my least favorite. It's a mystery! Mysteries have no well developed characters. They put mor e stock in technicalities for their effect, than in good acting. It seems to me that they are many times not too logical either." In answer to whom she considers her favorite stage actress, she remarked, "I've seen Helen Hayes and Katharine Cornell, and they're both very good."

FQrmer L.H.S. Student
Enjoys Radio Work ••• Congrats to Jean Janke, from out North-

Many couples were seen from L.H.S., a few vf whom were Mary Alice Dosek and Bob Packard, Mary Russell and Roger Runion, Darlene Hand and Ted Schultz, Dorcas Pitney and Jack Settle, Mary Sue Holland and Bruce Bergquist, "Kayo" Schwenker and Jerry Evans, June Fislar and Alan Casari, Dorothy Osterman and "Mouse Wf>ndelin, Frances Rodgers and Joe Cathcart, Cay Worcester and Ed Carter, La Dean Graham and Jim Bowmaster. Sara Devoe was there dancing with Dick Johnson as were .Jeanine Salendar and Bill White, Carmen Shepard ard Frank Gorton and Marilyn Hanns and Roger Hancock.

Duane Sloan, former t..H.S. student, is now in the Coast Guard, and is stationed on an island about forty miles long and fourteen miles wide, off the west coast. The island is densely wooded. He and three others are the only ones at their station, which means three hour watches at night. Two small buildings, one of which holds the radio and radar equipment and 'the other the sleeping quarters, make up the station which is in a clearing on top of a hill. Duane finds this type of radio work very interesting and plans to take it up for his life work. He expects a leave soon, probably in July.
Her greatest surprise as a director came to her when one night she found a girl who was supposed to go on stage at the moment, in her dressing room, changing for the next act!! The rest of the cast adlibbed heroically until the girl made her very delayed entrance! The outstanding difficulty of high school actors is, according to Miss Martin, failure to react to a situation when they aren't actually saying lines. They have trouble "staying in character." "They fall out of character. I think any pupil who · has ever been in a play will know w hat I mean. They do learn their lines well, but we have to k eep working on the other. " I think the dramatics field has grown in the past few years. Both radio and movies have developed greatly, and universities are now stressing the dramatics program more, not only in their regular dramatics classes, but also in speech correction, which is a great help," she explained. Of specialized training, Miss Martin concluded, "I believe that a person should. attend one of the several extellent dramatic schools that we have, before trying to make a place for himself on the stage, screen, or in radio."
Praise Given, In Letter To Mardis Members of Miss Florence Jenkins' modern problems class, who participated in the round table discussion before a Nebraska Welfare association of approximately 200 persons last Saturday, were highly praised in a letter received by H. C. Mardis. The four participants were, Mary Alice Dosek, coordinator, Beverly Cunningham, Mick Putney and John Lilly. In the letter, Mrs. Mabel S. Cob bey stated, "I feel . that these young people 1reflected exceedingly well on the school which they represented. They were not only able to discuss the topics which they presented, but were well-poised, courteous, and considerate of each other. Many people commented after the meeting that they did not realize that young high school boys and girls were thinking so well on present day subjects. They felt that the teachers of this group must be pretty effective. The young people were definitely at home, or at ease, and were an inspiration to all the older people who were in this meeting."
Morrison Resigns As Electrical Instructor Claude 0 . Mor rison, on military leave from Lincoln high, has resigned his position as an electricity teacher. He has been in the Navy since 1941, connected with radar. Mr. Morrison is ac~epting commer cial employment as an electrical engineer with the telephone company in New York City. Commissioned an ensign at the time the war began , he became a lieutenant (j.g.). After service in the Pacific, he was stationed in Washington, D. C.

Schubert, as did many great composers, lived a very short, poverty stricken life. Although poverty kept him from enjoying many conveniences, his life was rich in intangibles money could never obtain. Music, naturally, was his greatest love, and even as he Jay in the cradle, musical sounds filled him with delight. By gaining admission to the Imperial Chapel choir at the age of 11, he obtained a scholarship to the KonVikt preparatory schooL His father sternly forbade him t o compose music for h e believed musicians to be a poorer lot than even school teachers. But for Franz, composing music was more important than life itself, and, neglecting his studies, he. continued to compose songs, gay dances, and even a symphony. After departure from his beloved school, Schubert's li:fe was a series of tragedies, months of starvation, but also happy times with his many friends. Schubert's songs, curiously enough, were successful to a few, but failed t o impress. publishers. Because of this, only a handful of t he hundreds of compositions were published during his lifetime. Not until years after his death was his genius fully realized. Today his niche in the wo~ld of fine music is alongside such masters a s Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Wagner.

Despite the cold and rainy weather several hundred Lincoln high s~udents with their tags flying in the wind were seen out at the school picnic held at Capitol Beach last Friday. The gates opened at 9:00 o'clock, but only a.- few of the more adventuresome pupils, who were almost all in the Arcade, braved the rain so early. However by 10:30 o'clock things were humming with music in full swing at the skating rink and the Arcade full of wanderers, amusing themselves with the machines found there. By 11 :00 o'clock a still larger crowd had gathered, decked in heavy clothing and rain apparel and the rain had temporarily stopped. The competitive races were held at this time. The first

Open Forumj Dear Editor: In regard to the Northeast assembly presented last week, . "It' was wonderful." The idea of ex.changing assemblies between . the two schools was a good one and n ow each school has proved itl enjoyment of the assemblies by the way of entertainers were re• ceived. I believe this plan will help bring the schools closer together, as it will introduce students from each school to the other one, and thus increase t he friendliness of students in Northeast and Lin· col n high. Although some L.H.S. students know many pupils from North• east, others k now none, and these assemblies, along with the other activities in which both schools participate, will help make Northeast seem like a "next door neighbor" to us. . The assembly was the type which all high school pupils en• joy and I hope there will be more next year. Sincerely, Margaret Chamberlain.

They follow a strict schedule, allowing only two minutes a person for dry make-up and sometimes working continuously from 7:00 to 11:00 or 11:30, receiving only a service rating credit. As a rule they do not get to see the performance as they are kept busy ,back stage; however, they do see all dress rehearsals, Marian Hense, a senior, who has faithfully served on t his commit tee for three years, stated, "It has been a lot of fun and I thoroughly enjoyed making up the different characters." Serving for one year on this committee are Betty East, a senior, who says, "Ii has been loads of fun to see how you can change the appearance of a person just by applying make-up ;" and Louise Loucks, a senior, who said, "It is t he most interesting part of play night." The rest, all soph omores, joined the committee in response to the announcement made by Miss Martin at a Mummers meeting last fall. They all have enjoyed doing it very much and here is what each has to say about it: Bonnie Alber t: "If you have ever wondered what it is like to be back stage while putting on a pl ay you really find out when you work on t he make-up committee."

First In State Golf, Tennis; Track, Sixth Missouri Valley Next on Track, Lincoln Favored Tech of Omaha Host for Meet This Saturday Aiming for their fifth straight Missouri .Valley conference crown, the Lincoln high cindermen will go to Omaha Saturday, May 18. This year Omaha Tech will be host to the annual track and field championship. Lincoln reigns as favorite with Sioux City East a possible contender for the title. The Links have strong men in each event who have been placing constantly throughout -the year.
Debus Hurls 4 Hitter at Plattsmouth Merle Debus hurled the Links to a 3-1 triumph over Plattsmouth Tuesday afternoon on the Muny field diamond. Lincoln opened th~ scoring in the initial frame on Guy Nielsen's one bagger, driving in George "Lefty" Nutt, and Ray Howell from second to third, respectively. The Cass county lads' only marker came on a Lincoln miscue in the last inning, Debus whiffed fourteen batsmen and allowed only four hits, kept well scattered. · Howell led the afternoon's batsmen with two for three, a double and a single, while teammates combed pitcher Alkie. for seven bingoes all told. Box score:
State Crown Lincoln First, Captured By State Tennis Linlismen Golfers of Lincoln high retained the state golf team chim>.p ionship, but lost the individual crown in .the state championshlps, which were held last Saturday at Pioneers. The linksmen edged Omaha Central by a mere two strokes in a closely fought · battle for the team championship. Lincoln . carded a 238 followed by Central's 240, Omaha South 244, Grand Island 254, Beatrice 259, Fremont 268, Omaha North 276, .North Platte 297 and McCook 321. Dick Knight, a junior at Omaha Central, lived up to advance notice as he won the individual crown with ease. He put together a 35, one under par,. and a 38 for an 18 ·hole total of 73 for medalist's honors. Ed Knowseyk of Omaha South took home second laurels with a 78. Two Lincoln boys, Stan Stroh and Jack Heckenlively, tied for third place with 79. Consistency brought the team title to Lincoln. Lincoln's two 79's by Stroh and Heckenlively and. an 80 by Jerry Beck were just enough to defeat Central's 73 by Kriight, .82 by Don Young and 85 carded by Francis Ostron.ic. Next Saturday .L incoln will again square off against Omaha Central in the Missouri Valley meet which will be held in Omaha~ Central, the present titleholder, will be hard to beat, as shown by the state meet scores. Lincoln, by virtue of its win over Central in the state, will be established a slight favorite for the team title. Individual honors should be taken by Knight. Other competition will be offered by Omaha South, third in the state.
Individuals Out for Records. Herb Gish will be gunning fo~ the 120 high's title which he won last year here at Lincoln. Herb ran third in the state highs last week to Bob Berkshire of Benson, who shattered the state record in :14.6. Don Bryant, also a last year's winner, will be a heavy favorite in the mile run.

Preserve World Peace by rnternational Neighborhoods "What can I do to help preserve world peace?" is an often asked question by indi· viduals of today. They don't seem to realize .. how important each person is in making the U.N. a success. Instead, they discontinue buying bonds, or bringing canned food in drives for needy Europeans. They stand back saying to themselves, ''One more or less makes no difference, so I'll not bother to do my share." Little do these people realize what the consequences would be 1f everyone took this attitude. To answer the original question, all the individual has to do is change one word in it. The word "I" to "We." "What can 'WE' do to help preserve world peace ?"-"We" 2,000 Lincoln high pupils. The answer seems much clearer doesn't it? Co-operation! Co-operation with our delegates to the U.N., with our president, with our war fund and Red Cross drive leaders, and with our ne.ighbors. Learn to "give" . instead of expecting to "take" all your life. A little thoughtfulness on your part can't do any harm and it may do a great deal of good!

"Health Education" has become a very vital topic in the past few years and is becomi~g more prominent as time passes. It doesn't just include the hygiene classes, al· though these are a most important part. It consists of a widely spread program. During the month of February the state of Nebraska held .a number of health conferences, one of which was to stimulate the individual health problems facing Nebraska and to plan possible solutions for such problems according to community facilities. One of Lincoln's main projects is sanitation, particularly in the matters of garbage disposal. April 7-13, 1946, Nebraska sponsored a "Know Your Public Health Nurse Week,'' during which many families who hadn't al· ready met their nurse through sickness made a special effort to get acquainted with
To a great many of us, this year Memorial day is going to mean more than usual. Many have fathers, brothers, uncles, or cousins who fought and died in this great war and whose lives must be commemorated th.is day, not only in hearts but in grave yards everywhere. Some people's relatives are buried on tiny Pacific Islands, some in Europe, and · there are some whose only grave yard is the bottom of the sea. This is the day which has been set aside in the memory of them and the cause for which they died. Americans everywhere will pay respect to the dead in one way or another. Graves of unknown soldiers all over the world will be decorated and those people who do not decorate the graves of a soldier, known or unknown, with flowers, should commemorate in their hearts all the millions of soldiers who died for them.

Traveling on we see Howie Doerr coaching football at Skunk Hollow, while Ken Winslow is plowing his w ay through Alaska looking for gold, and Rosie Kimball and Patti Wieland are happily r unning their bubble gum factory! ! Journeying up North (Senator N. N. "Claghor n" Walt permitting!) we drop in at the Met to h ear Helen Adams and Helmut Sienknecht giving their version of "Carmen." Turning on our radio we are first confronted with the latest singing commercial by Don Hays and Chuck Hughes. N ext, we hear the challenging voice of George Wilcox with t he latest news, and Louise "Walter Winchell" Carter. P ushing the button we hear the latest comedy program "Clem Reppohledidik" (Kididel h opper, spelled backwards!!) staring Ed Wessel. Now we turn to our newspaper to read of the celebrities. On the first page we read of a new explbsive, invented by Bill Kosmos, while in the n ext column we are not surprised to see that Dick Russel has joined the Foreign Legion, or that Mary Desmond and Joan Raysor are now Rhodes scholar s, and Bill Wenke and Ed Carter have just been appointed Supreme Court Judges. Turning to the home town news we learn that Guy Dean h as just been elected s' eriff and that Curt Weatherhogg is now boys' advisor at L.H .S. Not to f orget the ladies page -edited by Joyce Steele. We read of the two singing hits, Joan Williams and Mary Sue Holland. Back to the present. "This has all been in fun and I've really enjoyed writing it for you. Thank you all for being such grand sports and also many thanks to all you "Cupcakes" w ho h elped me all year! Lots of luck to next year's column girl, and have a grand vacation!" Good-bye, Nancy. Today I am wearing my Bobbie Brooks plaid cotton dress. It comes in sizes 9 to 15 in black with pink, yellow, or green, and is yours for $8.85 in Simort5s young world shop, 3rd floor. · -

'Neut' Arrives Encased in Box, Will Aid Students As an aid to biological science students, came "Neut," a model of the human body. Ordered last summ~r, "Neut" arrived unannounced April 23 and was discovered by Miss Mamie Short in a storeroom, encased in a four foot box. Examining the labels on the box, Miss Short found it to be the long-awaited model. She reported her discovery to J. D. Young, and it was unpacked two weeks ago in the presence of all the biological science teachers. It was promptly named "Neut" for neuter because it is neither of the masculine nor feminine sex. The model has detachable parts which enable the pupils to examine each part of the body. "Neut" is kept in a cupboar d in room 325 to prevent rough handling and the sun from fading its color.

'Princess Ida' Well Received
Three School Clubs Elect
"Princess I da," a three-act Gilbert and Sullivan opera which was presented last Friday and Saturday evenings by the Lincoln high senior choir under the direction of Hugh T. Rangeler and accompanied by the Lincoln high orchestra was lauded as a great success. The opera centers around Princess I da's school for girls who know nothing of men, in fact, some had never seen a man. It had been 20 years since the lovely Princess Ida, Helen Adams, had taken the marriage vows at the age of one year with Hilarion, Helmut Sienknecht, son of King Hildebrand, Milton Hoffman. Amusing scenes in the opera were played by Helmut, Ed Wes,.sel as Cyril, and Ted Schultz as Florian, when they enter the girls' school in the guise of girls. Their antics and songs were appealing to t he ent ire audience. Beautiful costuming was a special attraction. Two backdrop scenes were painted by the L.H.S. classes. Other major parts were: King Gama, Princess Ida's father, sung by David Evans; Melissa, by J oan Williams; Lady Psyche, Professor of Humanity by Pat King; Lady Blance, P rofessor of Abstract Science by Lydia Nekuda; Saccharissa by Catherine Worcester; Chloe by Alice Babst; Ada by Eleda St arch and t he sons of Gama were Dick Russell, Wayne Schruers and Amos Jennings. The other members of the choir were soldiers, courtiers, "Girl Graduates" and "Daughters of the Plow." '
