Parasites Are Too Often Found in Classrooms Do you enjoy having your neighbor from across the aisle constantly interrupting you when you are busy, to ask if he might borrow a pencil or other paraphernalia? This decided, you have just settled down, when to your and his great disappointment, he finds that he needs three sheets of paper. With all the etiquete Emily Post would demand under such circumstances, he politely asks to borrow the paper. Since you are completely submerged in your deadline material, you hand him your notebook from which he proceedes, with dignity and completeness, to take not only a few sheets, but half of the package. Now you are debating whether to tear up your paper, not hand it in, or erase half the page, when all of a sudden your charming neighbor decides he must have a ruler. You tell him you don't have one, still wondering why he needs a ruler at all. Glancing hastily at the clock, you see the period is almost over, and decide to read your little masterpiece. "I was driving down Compass street with ruler, when I saw a pencil--:..

They all went thru it too, and really, it was just as ter rifying for them, although you'll probably never get even one of them to admit it! You've survived the first week, and are now well on your way to a successful high · school career. It's going to be loads of fun attending · g ames, plays, "High Spot," etc., as a fullfledged hi-schooler---just you wait and Me!! Here's wishing you all the luck in the world in your climb up the ladder of senior high learning! You're just getting a firm footing on the beginning rung now, but in no time at all, you'll be able to say those magic words, "Look kids. I made it! I'm a junior!" Be good---and we'll be seeing you here and there-a-bouts!!!
Clock·Watchers Gain Nothing With Effort It was 3 :00, and suddenly a decided change took over the heret ofore frantically studying fifth period class. Jenny and Madge put their heads together and discussed their prospective dates for the evening; Sally Brown began taking her ha.i r out of pin-curls ; Johnny put his head down on his desk to catch up on his "much needed" rest. Cathy began making repairs on her powder and paint job, grimacing at the ink smudge on her finger, while Bill and Dick talked over last week's football game. Then 3:09 showed on the tired old face of the clock, and a tense feeling overtook all; even Johnny, who, while sleepily rubbing his eyes, joined the rest of the class---watching Mr. Clock. Everyone was poised on the edge of his desk, ready for instant flight the moment the clock's hands bounced to the 3:10 mark! And when that moment arrived, anyone passing by the room would have found himself in a very bad way!! Out the classroom door sur~ed a mass of i;i.-tcen humanity. They scattered down the halls waving "so long" to their friends---until the next day.... This situation may not be as far along in your class, but it gives you an idea of what we must keep away from. Use t he last ten minutes of your fifth period as they are int ended t o be used---for study and all will be strictly swell! '

Error of Teach•~r C.ives Big Charge Miss Ethel Murray, teacher of home nursing in room 120, ranks among the great doctors and nurses of history, according to her blackboard. On the front board were listed Florence Nightingale, Haldora and others, with Miss Murray's name heading· the list. She really wrote her name on the board to identify herself to new students. Later she was listing some famous nurses for her classes, and h appened to write them under her own. Miss Murray has taught home nursing at L.H.S. since 1928. She was a nurse during the first World War and served in France for a year. She has b een active in the American Legion, having held the p ost of viceMcommander .

New and Old Style
Fads Are Abounding Sweaters a:nd skirts are still the favorite costume of the high sch.col girl, although this year the sweaters may b e tucked into the skirt as_well as worn sloppy joe style. Cardigans, turtle necks, short sleeves, and V-necks seem to be popular sweaters. Wide leather belts have joined the wardrobe to be teamed with skirts and blouses or sweaters. Suits and wool dresses -are also very popular while saddles or strollers, worn with wool stockings, remain to be the only thing the high school girl will have on her feet.
Self-Confidence Is a Top Requirement For All Confused L.H.S. Sophomores Self confidence is certainly needed! So Suzie Sophmore found out after finishing her first day at Lincoln higlL Her home room was pointed out to her by some overly-helpful junior who, after much meditation, told her to go right front in front of left, do a half-nelson; two quarter turns backwards, and she couldn't miss it! · Her first class was biology. Bio:logy? "I wonder what that can be about?" thought Suzie. Pla nts? Of course; that must be it! It said fourth floor on her card. So Suzie boldly climbed up to the fourth floor, and the first thing she saw was a glass door leading out to an open room which w as all full of plants; To Suzie it looked like the logical place to study plants, so out to the greenhouse .went Suzie. She waited for everyone else to come to this nice room. But no one did. Suzie wondered why everyone was so stupid and couldn't find a biology class. Anybody knew i t w as t h e stuciy of plants. Even Suzie! Time passed and Suzie got disgusted. She finally started into the hall, where she was conducted to her right class.. Next period was Greek histor y. As she walked into class, Suzie was deb ating whether t o learn the Greek part fir st of all or the history part. Su~ie had hear d of people who had said that everything was Creek to them. Suzie thought that they must be very smart people to k now everything in Greek too. By now our little Suzie was getting hungry, and as her second period was over, she thought maybe she could beat the noon-day rush and be first to lunch. Suzie went into the cafeteria and waited for all the people to come. She got her lunch before anyone else had even found the way t o the

After she was helped out of this scrape by a kindly teacher, Suzie went to her third period :Which was chorus. Nothing specatacular happened in this class. One thing Suzie could do was carry a 't une, without the aid of bucket, p ail or any similar vessel. Suzie's fourth period was Spanish. Suzie knew all about the rhumbas and congas. She also could pick up a few ideas on Spanish styles and customs from Carmen M ir a n d a, who was, as everyone knew ,an expert on this subject. Fif th period came, and with it ca me Suzie.

·I LHS Athletes
BY DON HARDT. Passing and fleetness of foot, that's the ·salt and pepper com.:: bination of this year's ball toters. Lincoln has, in the presenceof Mel Knopp, Stan Gerlach and Bob Hubbell, a neat aerial offense. Another asset is the running prowess of Knopp, Gerlach, Dale Capek, Bill Howell and John Moore. Coach Lyle Weyand's backfield is not without experience either. Returning from last year's squad are Pete Kortum, Mel Kopp, Dale Capek and Knox Jones. Bob Hubbell, letterman from the '44 Links, is also back after a year in the navy. Lincoln's crop of reserve strength should prove, llfong with experienc·e , more than valuable. The· backfield and their positions are: Quarterbacks: Pete Kortum, Ray Howell and Don Ruby. Tailbacks: Mel Knopp, Stan Gerlach and Don Neil. Fullbacks: Bob Hubbell, Dale Capek and John Moore. Wingbacks: Bill Howell, Knox Jones and Bob Black.
Cheerleaders

They were elected by four t eachers and six student judges after tryouts in double assembly Friday. Tryouts were also judged on t he amou nt of applause they received from the audience. Other finalist candidates for cheerleader w ere Jeanine Baker, Jim Cook, Jean Stevens and Bev Williams. At the assembly, the new football coach, "Bill" Pfeiff, was in troduced by the director of athletics, Ralph Beechner. The foo tball team was introduced by the coaches, Mr. Pfeiff and Lyle Weyand, backfield coach. 100 yard freestyle: Phelps, J . Greer and Woodworth. 100 yard backstroke: Thompson, Greiner and W.

Stan Gerlach Stops Passing Charge on 20 Lincoln opened its 1946 gridiron season by thumping Goth enburg, the myt hical '45 co-champions, 21-0 Friday evening in the oval, Coach Bill Pfeiff used three complete teams and t h is system paid off nicely. Capek First to Score for Links Dale Capek was the first to hit pay dirt when he went over from the one yard on a delayed b uck. A Gerlach-to-Pierce pass set up the touchdown when "Shorty" outreached two Gothenburg defenders to put the ball deep in enemy territory. Capek hit the middle for the extra point and Lincoln left tthe field at the half with a 7-0 lead. Bill Howell t ook the second half kick-off and behind some beautiful blocking r aced thirt y-five yards to put the b all in scoring position once more, but this time they were stopped. The third quar ter was almost entirely spent in Gothenburg territory, but the Red and Black was um:ble to push t he apple across the paying line until late in the t hird quarter when they shook t he hard running Knopp over from the ten. Knopp passed to Kortum for the point and the score became 14-0. Gerlach Starts Lincoln Goalward. The Swedes finally came to life and with some beautiful passing on the part of Williams a nd Arnall marched to the Lincoln ?I) T h e passing attack backfired there, when Sta n Gerlach intercepted a · Williams' pass and sped 60 yards down the sidelines for the longest r un of the night. Gerlach passed for 16 yards t o Pierce and then banged his way to the five. J ohn Moore carr ied t he mail over from there. Moore w ent thr ough t he .1.n icldl c fo~ !he poi ni.
Lincoln Line Stops Gothenburg A particular feature of the game was the Lincoln line which stopped Coa ch Wilbur Zorn's boys behind the line of scrimma ge quite often and gave its own backs good protection. Merlin Wiltfang, Don Batt, Don Etmund and J ohn Dietz were outstanding in the line for Lincoln w hile Knopp, Gerlach a nd Bill Howell carried the ball for consistent yardage. T:. ~ame was bro~dcasted to Gothenburg by t wo men from there. Wjlliams and Gruber were best for Gothenburg.

Home room representatives and alternates were elected in sophomore home rooms Monday, September 16. Prior to that, the representatives from junior and senior home rooms had sold activity tickets in those unrepre-: sented rooms. Now, however, the newly elected have taken over their duties. The representative is required to attend the meetings and report on the topics discussed to the home room, while the alternate must sell and distribute Advocates as well as assist the representativ es when asked. Following is a list of the representatives and their alternates including those Who have just been elected and those who have been changed:
Problems of forming a constitution for a newly organized central gov ernment were depicted in a motion picture, "Ser vant of the People,'' in a Constitution day assembly, Tuesday morning, September 17. The opening scene showed the close of the Revolutionary war and the havoc which followed. Following th e Revolutionar y war (1776-1783 ) the new nation found many difficulties in working under the articles of confederation which gave the states all the power. England was hoping t he colonies would come cr awling back to her. After much tr ouble, a convention gathered in Philadelphia in May, 1787. Through the influence of George Washington and Benjamin F ranklin, t he great compromiser, a constitution was drafted and signed by t he members of t he conv ention on Sep tem ber 17, 1787. Expressing t he belief of a newbor n nation, Benjamin Franklin gave his famous statement, "Instead of the people b eing the servants or the constitution, the constitution will be the servant of t he peopl e.'' P upils may have found t he film difficult to see. This is due to a · mechanical difficulty in the projector. However, the machine will be in good working condition for the n ex t film assembly, which will be in October. As the semester progresses, a ssemblies will be schedul ed more frequently, b ut it is difficult to arrange for many in t he first few weeks, a ccording to Miss Esther Montgomery, chair man of the assembly committee.

Class Is Told About Stars and Stripes "Stars and Stripes was t h e greatest paper in the world during the w ar,'' said J ack Donovan as he opened his a ddress to Miss Belle F arman's English 8 class on Tuesday, September 17.

Why isn't Kayo Schwenker as gay as per usual?? Could be it's because her former Northeasterner, Jerry Evans, has enlisted in the army.
To The Editor : Lincoln high football games have always drawn good crowds. But the huge crowd at the Gothenburg game caused many inconveniences. It was necessary to seat people who arrived at 7 P. M. on the cement base of the bleachers. The cement was wet and these spectators were in danger of being kicked in the back w hen the people in the r ow back of them stood up. But many people felt that having seats of any kind was better than sta nding. The perfect solution would be a ilew stadium for L in coln high. This · stadium, at present, is only something to look for war d to. To close the t ick et offices when all the bleacher seats are filled; or to sell r eserve seats, would per haps clear up the situation. ·The main thing wrong with either of these pla ns would be t he number of persons who would be unable to see the games and the loss of money· r esulting from fewer people attending the game. Though it will pr obably be necessary to finish this football year with the present seating situation, everyone hopes that in the coming years something will be done. J anice Weil.

BUBBLE BLOWER-
Higher Wages Sought For Nation's Teachers A recent editorial in "Life" magazine brought up the very much discussed problem of "Teachers Troubles." In it, the fact that teaching has become one of the poorest paid professions, was · stated. "The situation can be summarized in two statements: · # a. Teachers wa:rit, need, and should have better pay. b. The country wants, needs, and shquld have better teaching. That. is the essence of it, but this essence contains a vast oversimplification." The editorial went on to say that, "A survey of 20 states shows 55 per cent fewer teachers in training today than five years ago. 'fhe colleges are overflowing, but not with prospective teachers." . Let's stop to analyze that quote. It means, tllat in a few years, if conditions are allowed to continue as· they are, our high scholastic standings will fall sadly, and the education of literally thousands of children thru-out the United States will suffer. Do we want that? As an example, a former junior high school principal, and his wife, a former teacher, in Freeport, Texas, said, "We will not return to teaching because we both have much better jobs in industry." The teachers cannot be blamed for this attitude. Today's shortage of teachers, acute in some places, and not a temporary condition, requires s~rious planning. It also demands drastic and immediate action. In the words of "Life'.s" thought-provoking editorial, "Given half a chance, Americans will always go for education with a bang. More and more must be given that chance." We can do somethiilg about this present 1ituation and we must. Our teachers deserve the best. Let's see that they get it.

For those who prefer hot dishes, ther e are b ak ed beans, spaghetti; hot cinn amon rolls, soups, potatoes and vegetables. Salads are very popular for lunches and to be sure there are salads of n early every description in t he cafeteria -fruit, vegetable, egg and jello. What more can you ask for?

Peek at the fall fashion display Tuesday night, Sept. 17, at Lincoln's department and clothing <>tores. Rustles, drapes, low necklines, balloon sleeves, and longer and fuller skirts. They indicate that styles are definitely headtng back towards the "Gay 90's." Royal blue is an outstanding color in fashions this year. A new shade in color is "maple-blonde," which, when made up in cr epe, or satin, is extremely favorable for young women. Other colors that are being w orn m ore this fall ar e gray, brown, black and many plaids. Corduroy and woolen jer seys were the highlights in teenagers clot hes. A red cordur oy pedal-pusher suit caused m any ~'ah's" a nd "oohs." Shoe lovers will be interested to know that platforms definitely are "the thing." The new low-heeled, heeless pump was seen frequently and it is becoming mor e and mor e lapular for school wear. P. S .Brown and black is a new combination, as is green and blue. By A Boy Fall opening of Lincoln. stores on Tuesday, Sept. 17, was attended by many L. H. S. students, who gazed with awe and wonder at the windows . Several cries of "What is it?" were heard. After close scrutiny, the "thing" usually t ur ned out to be a h at.

"World Series" by J ohn A. Tunis is a story of the sport topmost in ever yone's mind today-baseball. Roy Tucker, nicknam ed "The Kid" and the main character \n the book, was playing with the Brooklyn Dodgers in the World Series. Roy had recently run against a wall w hile playing polo and the sports writers had sized him up as being "wall shy," although he wasn't. He was injured again during their first game with the Cleveland Indians when a . curve pitch hit him on .his right temple The Dodgers won that game, but lost the next. The m en along with "The Kid" who r emained in the .hospital during the second game became more excited a nd more determined each day. The differ ence between two thousand and four thousand dollars to each man lay in the outcome of the Series. When the Indians won a nother game the Dodgers were disappoint,. but not discouraged. They fought on and by winning t he last two games became the pr oud holders of the Series title. "Fighting Guard" by Ralph Henry Barbour is about the football t eams of Cooper Lake Academy. It is a story of Easy Evans whose talents r emain hidden until his football coach diagnoses his inability to use his entir e strength against the opposing team. Easy had tried out for the first football team, but had failed to make it. Later he plays on the Salter Hall team and finally, he is abJe to join the first team as a fight~ng guard. During his story aJ the Academy "Easy'~ becomes friends with a lonely sophomore whom he urges to try out for the band. and promises t o teach ice hockey in which Easy also excelled.

Students numbering 150 from all parts of the United States entered L . H. S. this semester. ·All who were interviewed seemed to agree that Lincoln high is an ideal school. A newcomer to Lincoln high is Beverley Anderson, a senior from Kokomo, Indiana. She transferred · here from Kokomo high, which is not quite as big as Lincoln high. Kokomo itself is about half as large as Lincoln. Bev- . erley stated that she hadn't got lost at all and that Lincoln high was not very different from her old school except that she had seven periods a day there, and a home room per iod. Beverley's home room is 101. After she graduates from Lincoln high, she plans to attend Chicago Art Institute in Chicago. Beverley, when asked her opin-

ion of Lincoln high, said that she likes it very much. She also remarked, "It is kind of hard to get to know anyone here," and she feels that Lincoln high students could be more f~iendly, "The school is swell and the students are very friendly and helpful," said Jean Paull, lOB, formerly from Royal Oak, Michigan. "Every ·Friday after school . a dance is held in th~ gymnasium with music provided by a juke box," she said. Earl Hedburg, 11A, comes from Fort Knox, Kentucky. While there he attended Fort Knox Independent high school. "Lincoln high is much bigger and lots better," stated Earl. Jeanne Hyland attended Sacred Heart Academy, for girls, at Lake Forest, Illinois. Tennis and golf are some of Jeanne's outside interests, whereas drama seems to be her favorite. Another new student is Bob Obering who hails from Long Beach, California. Bob is a junior and last attended Polytechnical high school at Long Beach. Bob has lived in Lincoln for three months. When asked how he liked L. H. S., Bob replied that he couldn't complain. His main interest is sports. Ferne Tracy, who entered from Elgin, Illinois, finds L. H. S. lacking in social activities. "Elgin high;" said Ferne, "had dances in celebration of Christmas, Easter and Valentine's day." "I think school here is going to be fun and I find the students are very nice and easy to get acquainted with," she said. Another student, formerly from Elgin high, Elgin, Illinois, is June Pratt. "The day goes much faster here than in Elgin because there are only five periods compared to six there," June said.
Among those vi s i t in g friends · in Kearney for the weekend were Sandra .Walt! Kathie Schreiber, M i m s i Hicks, and Fran Wallace.
One hour is allowed for lunch and on the east wing of the school there is a dance hall with a juke' box for students who feel in the

Thompson, and Fern Egger were only a few o~ the m~ny L.H.S. students Journeymg there for the game. "Tub" Coble and Teddy O'Shea were together after the game. Dale Capek, Don Etmund, and . Dick Ph~lps had dates with Kearney girls and Jack Andrews s~en;ed to be definitely enJoymg himself with not one, .but two girls, on a "sandwic_hdate." How does he do it? :Sack in Lincoln Nancy Noble surprised everyone by going out with Dick )\'Ieans, doubling with Phyllis Haley and Bill Henkle. Ruth · Speer dated Jim Roth from the northeast end of town. Pat Burt was with George Miller (U.N.); Pat Perkins with "Nut" Johnson, home on leave, and Glor.a Klamm with Chuck Deats (Ne'br. Wesleyan). Dorcas Pitney stepped out with Jim Liggett, also from Noi:-theast. Incidentally, Dorcas is very much thrilled about the long distance call she got from Jack Settle in Joliet, Illinois last Sunday! Let's not forget that the newcomer's party is being held after school tonight. All of you who are new to Lincoln high, other than sophomores, should be sure to be there for dancing, eats and a good time. Larty Connealy . and ~arb Haning made a F~1day n~ght combination; as did Marilyn Burnett . and Don Hergert. Others dating were Carolyne Hild with none . other than Stan Gerlach, Hoby Jones with Adele Coryell. Couples dating .out at East Hills Friday were Helen Gallagher and Bob Resseguie, Helen Werkmiester and Fred Rabe, and Harriett Houston was there with Ben Pickering (U.N.). She's been seen quite regularly with him as of late!! It's practically a tragedy that "Joe Good doesn't like girls!" (and we quote from many disappointed sophomore girls) cuz he could certainly have his pick-just ask the girls. SCOOP OF THE WEEK: Bev Wood dating Dick Russell, '46, Saturday night!!

lunch hour. . The Peppers and the enthusiasm that the student body shows at the games impressed her very much, but one thing she does think is that the lunch period should be longer. Entering from New Trier Township in Winnetka, Illinois, is Allison Gass, a junior. The school previously attended by Alison was much larger, accommodated four grades and held ten periods a day. " It is amazing how much the students of L. H. S. are like those of New Trier Township," she commented. "I seem to want to speak to everyone." She is interested in art and Russia.
Sophomore, Don Whelchel, is a former student at Venice high school, Los Angeles, California. Don relates that Venice high and Lincoln high are nearly the same size and much alike. Drawing is his main outside interest, but basketball and football also absorb much of his time. Don. is living with his uncle in Lincoln, as his parents are still residing in Los Angeles. Donna Whitfield, a junior, comes to Lincoln high from Sacramento high school, Sacramento, California. Donna, before going to Sacramento ·f or one year, went to Irving junior high school in Lincoln. Sacramento high is about the same size as Lincoln high, she stated. When asked how she liked Lincoln high she replied, "Everything suits me fine." Lee Whitcomb, home room 311 , is a new arrival in the junior class at L. H. S. He formerly attended the South Pasadena San Marino high school of California . He says that Lincoln is about twice the size of the former school but otherwise they are very much alike.

Music Groups Select Songs Newly chosen songs of this year's choir consists of "My Soul, There Is a Country," "Key Song of Saint Bride," "0 Peaceful Night," and "Hear My Prayer ,- 0 God." Hugh T. Rangeler, director, states, "the ninety-one-voice group is composed of enough v oices in · each part so that the r esults should prove excellent." They plan to make their first appear ance at the Nebraska State Teachers association convention, October 25. "Po Ole Lazzarus" and "Ezekiel Saw De Wheel" are being practiced by the boys gl ee club, composed of forty-one members. "I Love a Prayer" and "I Saw Esaw" have been r inging through the halls as the newly chosen boys q uartet sing. The selected girls octet, as they are preparing for a patriot assembly in November, have chosen the pieces, "Drums in My Heart,.'' "Hi! Ho! For a Husband," and "America My Ow n." Girls glee club members are working on "Dawn," "Snow," and "Come Down, Laughing Streaml et." They plan t o appear in an assembly in November. Tryouts ar e scheduled Thursda y and Friday nights for a group of nine junior girls to sing at the junior class assembly October 31.
Discussion of a 45-minute lunch period took place at the joint meeting of the home room representatives, alternates and student council Friday, September 27, with H. C. Mardis presiding. Permission has been granted to cut classes to 55 minutes allowing more time for lunch and still be dismissed at 3:15. In good weather, problems of recreation are not so abundant. but through the winter months, problems of what to do with pupils in the halls are many. Entertainment Pbmned. A solution to these problems may be met through having one gymnasium open for dancing and games. Film shorts could be shown in the auditorium. Mr. Mardis stated they would be for amusement and not educational films. They would be approximately 12-15 minute films, and be repeated during the hour. Mr. Mardis stressed that this project, in order to be put over, must be student-organized, and entirely a student' enterprise. A council m eeting of the home room r epresentatives prelrident and ·vice-president will choose a committee of t en puils, five fr om each group, to plan a campaign and program to put before k;? pupils the newly-proposed 45minute lunch period. This will also mean. a cafeteria committee big enough and capable enough to k eep students fi:om loitering in cafeteria, preventing others from finding places to eat.
Volunteers Called For. Mr. Mardis put befor e the group a list of student-faculty committees on which any student who desires may volunteer t o do so. He stated, "I am eager to get students who are most willing to serve." A health committee to provide .for the health and w ell-being of the pu pils was listed.

Cooperation The Keynote For All L.H.S. Pupils . Things wouldn't be quite so bad for some hall guards and locker inspectors if they would receive more cooperation from L. H. S. students. A hall guard is not placed at the end of the corridor or stairs for decoration. He is to guard the halls against ·any boisterousness or rowdy actions from some self-centered pupils who might be aimlessly wandering about the halls, seeming to think that this is more fun than giving attention in their classes. There is the case of the miserable guard who m_ust persistently keep telling passersby about closed stairs and corridors. Unless a person has a pass he cannot go from a. class to his destination during class time. The teacher will issue a pass if the request for one is reasonable. It is wise to remember that 11,mch sacks must be taken from the lockers before third period. During the noon hour, the halls are carefully guarded to cut down confusion and noise. It is the duty of the locker inspectors to see that all lockers are properly closed and locked during each period. This is mainly for the protection of Lincoln high students. Locker combinations are particularly made for lockers, so this advantage should be taken. Setting the locker is not a good idea, as even then the locker can be opened. Give the guards and inspectors a break. You are not only helping them, but also protect~ ing yourself and your belongings.
Chivalrous 'Walters' Not On School Buses "Alas, the age of chivalry is gone,'' might be a phrase quoted from many a school girl's . lips when alighting from a crowded bus after school. Has it gone completely? Emily Post would be shocked to .tears, could she . see the young male youths of today, not only crowd into the bus and push to the back in order to grab a seat first, but snatch the books, papers, coats, and "what-haveyou" of the tired, disgusted girls. When one finally reaches her corner, she heaves an exhausted sigh while squeezing through throngs of fellow students, and at the same time, trying to recover snatched articles. In her mind, she is wondering when her losses, including a French book, some history e~amination questions and a bor:rowed compass, will be restored,. anJ if she can stand this every school day, since she isn't used to it yet. Thus far, the question remains unanswered. Is the age of chivalry and Sir Walter Raleigh REALLY past, or is it merely stalling for time?
For Safer Driving; An Instructor at L. H. S. Should Lincoln high have a class in driving safely? According to information given in a recent article of the Journal, stating that the highest accident rate is found in the 15-24 age group, we should! Many high schools have instructors to teach students the right way to operate an automobile. It would pay us to have a course of this kind too; with the fact that the death rate for the 15-24 age group has been steadily climbing since the 19201s, facing us. Wouldn't you think so? Take, as an example, last year. About 6,000 youths of both sexes in our age group were killed in accidents. That's somewhere near to 30 people out of every 100,000 between 15 and 24 years of age, killed in accidents that could have been, for the most part, avoided .... It rather makes you think doesn't it? Is it worth learning to drive properly, to cut this alarming figure to the lowest possible minimum? We haven't a driving instructor at Lincoln high, though it would be one of the smart~ est moves ever made to get one .... He'd have a big job, and no doubt need some assistants, but his graduating clas~ would be able to say, "Thanks for saving hly life."

Open Forum To the Editor : The Lincoln h igh school cafeteria is a clean and pleasant place to eat in, but why not make it . more so with music? Some of the department stores have music in their employee's lunch rooms. It helps t o give that noontime "lift " that the employees need. In other w11rds, it helps them relax. This could 'l!erve the same purpose in L. H. S. Doubtlessly, the Lincoln high students would truly appreciate this extra convenience . Marianne Schwab. Editor's note: This was tried once and the result was just clatter. Ceiling would need sound proofing first. As it was, girls yelled louder t o be heard above the din of the dishes and music.

Camera Cluh Has Contest, Picnic If in the next few w eeks, some snapshots are seen floating about the halls and among them are animal .and farm pictures, it is probable . that they "Will have been takeri at the camera club picnic
on J . D. Young's farm on East 0 street, this afternoon after school. Mr. Young, a former camera club sponsor, will be the host at the picnic at which all the 34 camera club members together with Miss Elizabeth Grone, and 0. L. Hedrick, w ho is taking Mr. Young's place as co-sponso:i;, are planning to attend.

Many Lost Artieles Are iii Boolr, Rooni; Look There for Pens, Pencils, Etc. Pen s, pencils, keys, everything from head scarves to eye glasses, are waiting in the bookroom to b e claimed by their owners. Mrs. Ruby Evans, the book room attendant, is willing to help anyone recover any lost articles of value, if he reports to her and gives the description. Also there is a lost and found col umn on the main bulletin board by the office. Anyone , may put n ot ices of lost item s on this column by giving them to Mrs. Evans. If anything wi th an identification is turned in, Mrs. Evans tries to find the home room and d oes h er best to get in touch with the loser. Mrs. Evans would like to stress the necessity of turning in lost articles. Even though they may
Come -.Alonfj witli Candy and r/!/eet
seem of little value to the finder, they may be of great value to the loser . One who turns in a lost article should fill out a found slip in the bookroom. Then, after thirty days if the art icle · is not claimed, it is officially the finder's. If a lost article is reported to the bookroom, a "lost slip is filled out, so Mn;. Evans will know the description and keep watch for the article. The famous saying, "If you don't suceed the first time, try, try again," should be a motto for those who have l ost something. Don't stop with the first t ry at the bookroom, keep trying. ·
This is a new column designed especially to acquaint you with a number of the "keen people" we have here in Lincoln h igh! I'd like you tci know · Jack Wynkoop, a 17 year old senior from Sioux City Central. Jack's a mighty :tllce "fella" with a flair for dramat ics ... Doing something about it too! He's in .th e cast of the senior play; which makes h im v ery happy at that. Sports interest him, with swimming way out in front . as h is first love. Incidentally, that's one of the things h e likes best about L . H. S., there is a swimming pool! Mention food to this lad, who's (his middle name is North mother's maiden name) and you're well on the way to a beautiful friendship! And still farther along if that food is fried chick en . .. . Jack's a fan of Don Hays' "Einy" . . .. And would like better than anything else to go into cartoon ing after high school. He'll be headed for U.N. next year, t o study architectural design. Right now in high school, Jack's taking both World II and American I, which makes one thing there's a touch of genius some· where. But he admits with a, grin.

On October 9, 1867, Russia sold Alaska to the United States. Would things be different on October 9, 1946, if we had not purchased this · "last frontier" from our great neighbor to the northwest? This controversial topic is being voiced and discussed by people every day; in whispers by some . • . Why? Of course, you can't hope to gain the friendship of a nation if you're dreaming weird dreams of their sneaking up on you in the dark. Do you really think that Russia, recovering now from the havoc and devastation of the war, wants another to follow close on its heels? Does Russia want a World War Three? And above all, a war with the United States • . . It would be a simple matter to toss it off with a glib, "Sure we'll fight Russia. They're trouble . . ." A little too simple, isn't it? Much easier than to try to become "acquainted" with these people whom we really know hardly at all. It's human nature to "fall for" highly colored tales, provided the person telling us is convincing enough .•• Let's learn about Russia and her people, and prove to O.!!!'selves that we can be "good neighbors" with the people in the land of the great bear.' Make it really a "united nations." Understanding makes for friendship. Russia and the United States.
Teeners: A.bide By Rules; Make 'Safety' Your Motto "Guilty or not guilty . . ." T~is is the question put to you by the judge as you stand before him in juvenille traffic court. If your answer is "Guilty" you have the choice of paying a fine, or the alternative of attending traffic school, and writing a 1,000 word thesis on traffic safety. To those who plead "Not guilty" to the charge, a trial date is given. The officer who made the arrest, as well as witnesses, are brought in, and you trial proceeds in the same manner as other court trials. The above is a preview of what every juvenile traffic-violator goes through when he gets a ticket. Interesting to read about, but how about not even getting that ticket in the first place? If teen-agers would resist that sudden urge to "show off"--or the impulse to ~'open it up" and see just how fast the car will go, rrw,ny useless and unnecessary accidents (and tickets) would be avoided. Think about these things the next time you and the gang have the car out for a "buzz around the town" . • . It really does pay to be careful.
Big Game This Friday; Good Sportsmanship Utmost Friday night in.arks the big event on the Lincoln high calendar! Our game with Northeast for the city championship. This battle for the "city crown" in football is one of the most looked-forward-to games, both by pupils and teachers of both schools, and by people all over the state •.• It's the game! In the past, Lincoln high has been the one to wear the victor's wreath, and we naturally hope that it will follow through in the same manner this year. Whether it will or not, the thing to keep in mind is sportsman ship. A long word with a very simple meaning ... As a matter of fact, it could be defined as consideration and courtesy toward the other fellow. We can count on the team to give us a g<?od game; and let's back them up with the kind of "staff" which will make them proud of us. We're the host to this "deal," so let's show our cordial selves to our cross-town neighbors, Northeast high!

Open Forum To the Editor: I would ilke to know just how the school and board of education stand on the subject of the pupils and out of town games. i;\11 I have ever heard on the matter is what I have heard from other students. I have never heard any official word on the matter. I am a junior and there has not been any "L" booklet printed since I have been in :this school. I have been led to understand that the school makes known its policy on this matter in that book. I saw a piece in a Lincoln paper Saturday that said that the Northeast band and the Northeast girls pep club were going to some of the out-of-town games. I am won-
Oh, Henry! It's A Sad Fate to Miss Your Lunch Henry Student sits on the edge of his seat. One minute and his class will be dismissed for lunch. The clock ticks-the class rises as a body and as thirty pupils cannot all go out a door at one time, Henry is one of the less. fortunate who is knocked down. Up again, Henry heads for the nearest stairwell and falls into the mad rush for the lunch room. In the line Henry and a classmate discuss the atomic bomb formula, recite the constitution and count the l eaves on a tree outside the window. Then he takes a tray and selects a delicious meal. Emerging from the food line he looks for a place to sit. Finding a seat in the corner he glances at the clock. Two minutes to get back to class He takes his beautiful untouched lunch back, gr abs a candy bar, and dashes for the door. A boy larger than he informs Henry that he can't leave the lunch toom with food. Into the garbage can goes the candy bar and down the h all goes Henry. An even larger boy tells him that the corridor is closed. Breaking all records, Henry runs the other way and enters his class as the clock ticks. "Five minutes earlier tomorrow," pronounces the teacher as the empty-st omached Henry collapses in his seat. Many L; H. S. pupils are faced with a pr oblem similar to H enry's ::m tl all ;>ere<? that a 4fi-minute lunch period would be the perfect solution, don't you?
Giris Knit Sweaters During Spare Time If you catch snatches of some girls' convers~tions on the bus downtown, you might hear "Knit two, pearl two," or "Golly, I just dropped three."

Prevent Fires; Remove Hazards Everyone has heard how Nero fiddled while Rome burned and probably thought that only an insane person "would do something like that. It is true that some of th~ other things Nero did showed insanity, but some people m a y b.e doing, in a sense, what he did. This week, starting Monday, October 6, was proclaimed fire prevention week by Governor Dwight Griswold. During this week every person is asked to get rid. of everything which might be a fire hazard. Don't be like Nero and let some hazard kindle a fire that might destroy human lives and property.

THE ADVOCATE
Longer Lunch Period; Better Health Habits Click! That.click marked the remaining minutes before the proposed new forty-five minute lunch period begins. The girls leisurely stroll to the. rest rooms. They comb their hair, wash their hands, then they apply their lipstick and powder. After' this they're ready to go to lunch. Doesn't this plan sound wonderful? No more hurrying to be the first one in line. Now, plenty of time can be taken to follow the rules of hygiene, one of the most important being washing the hands before eating. After lunch they retire to the auditorium to see the new film or maybe go to the gymnas4tm for dancing or games. Whatever form of ·entertainment one chooses to participate in, the new lunch period (if the plan goes through, and let's hope it does) will provide more time for good health habits, fun and relaxation.

'Wreck' Plans For Big Season Open every Saturday night, the high school recreation center, "The Wreck," is held at the Y. W. C. A. There was no admission charge the first two evenings this fall, September 28 and October 5. Some students were enjoying their evening, stepping to the music of the juke box, while others were having a game of ping-pong or enjoying a coke or candy bar at the snack bar. Checkers, cards and other games were the main attraction to many of the boys. In the future, talent programs will be planned for entertainment and amusement.
In Other Schools A student from North high school, Omaha, Nebraska, and the parents of a North h igh school student were featured in the first of a series of five broadcasts on homemaking education, September 21 at 11:00 a. m.

Lincoln Adds Fourth Straight Win Six Rockets Back Downs Powerful Bearcat Team In Thriller; 13-12 Knopp, Gerlach Race Through Line and Backs With both teams playing proball, Lincoln high won over a battling Scotsbluff crew 13-12 . Friday night on a r ain hampered field. Intermittent showers kept manp people away, but 6,000 braved the hazards and watched the best game either team has played this year. Wiltfang opening kick went to Ferguson and two plays later Hubbell intercepted Ferguson's pass to set up Lincoln's first touchdown. A. Knopp to Kortum pass marked up the fir~t 6 points. The try for the extra point was Do good. The Bearcats first tally came in -the first quarter. A. long pass from Donahoe to Michalek tied up the score 6-6. Knopp ran 28 · years for the Links second counter. Hubbell smashed the center of the line for the extra point and what proved to be the winning point of the game. Gerlach was injured in the second quarter and was found later to have a cracked rib. No one threatened in the third quarter, but the Bearcats got up steam in the fourth. De Maranville blocked Hubbell's kick and recovered the ball on the Links 25-yard line..Ferguson proved his all state ability by g'o ing over from the 111 to make the score 13-12. The Black and Red really buckled down and smeared 260pound tackle Gerald Demara nville for no gain when he tried to i;mash thrugh for the extra point. In the remaining three minutes of play no one threatened. For the Bearcats Gerald Fergenson was outstanding. Also doing right by Scottsbluff were Baumgartner, Donaho anJ. Demar• anville. Mel Knopp again turned in a grand performance for Lincoln. Stan Gerlach did some nice ball carrying before he was injured in the second · quarter. Bob Becker, Marlin Wiltfang and Don Etmurtd turned in admirable performances in the line. The lineups: Scottsbluff Lincoln Micha lek .......... le ........... Stroh cc Demaranville ......

Bonaparte did attack, b ut Hornblower's forces were able to withstand the force of battle a nd, after apP"Ox imately seventh months, the enemy began to retreat. After this, Hornblower became ill with typhus a nd a month later he re-' turned t o Smallbridge ·a s an invalid and was r e- united with his wife and son. '.' The Bl ack Stallion R eturns" by Walter Farley is a sequ el to "Black Stallion." Alec Ramsay, w ho had ·g ained possession of the Black on a former t rip t o Arabia, w as sh ocke d w hen an uniden tified person tried to p oison the horse. Shortly after this incident, the official owner of the Black, Ted K ubben Ishak, came to claim him, after this, Mr. Volence, whose horses, the Black h ad formerly raced, came to buy him. As Mr . Volence was ex tremel y interested in using the Black to improve the line of his horses, h e, Alec, and H enry planned a t rip to Arabia. Du ring their tour across the desert , their Bedouin
hit upon the bright idea of d em onstrating how to ride a horse! To m ake t he action even more realistic, she . b rought her horse along! The "horse," a king's size ho))by hors~his head made of a gunny sacl;I:., oilcloth eyes and mane, and a b orrowed m opstick (courtesy of Candy's mother) serv ing for his body- was christ ened "Herkimer," or just plain "Herk" •• , And wit h his a id, the demonstration w as completed. At the end of the day, "Herk's" head reposed in a hall wastepaper bask et . • • The _.l!lopstick ha d t o be retu rned! The above shows you how much fun school can b e!

So they say • . • guide was killed and the rem aining Bedouins. deserted them in a sandstorm. They finally r eached the home of the Black and lat er the Black was stolen and rescued with Alec's help. As a reward, Alec was a llowed to ride the Black in a race w hich they won. Mr. Valence was given four of Ishak's best horses and Al ec was p romised the Bla ck's first foal.
You Had Better Start Making Excus·es; Reports to Parents Come Out Tuesday Taking more books home and turning down plans to go out with the "gang". are good ideas. Why? Have you forgoiten the reports to parents come out next Tuesday, October 22? Some of the "smart" students (those who are dumb in studies, but have a little common sense) are now beginning to realize how close the fatal (???) date is. They a re starting to cram into their thick heads what they should have been learning the last five weeks. Of course there are some of the luckier people who were smart and started the semester out r ight by preparing each daily lesson. From the beginning they have followed these :i;trict resolutions(!) To stay awake in class each day. (2) To r efrain from watching the freight and passenger trains when they pass by. (3) To stop writing letters to friends in class. ( 4) To concentrate more on w hat the teacher is saying than on the next football game. (5) To use talkativeness to recite on the lesson instead of chatt ing with neighbors;
Question of the Week Strolling down the hall with my little bow and arrow, I proceeded t o pop "the question" t o some of our most brilliant senior girls. "What is your favor ite popular song and wh y?" Barbara Omsler: "To Each His Own" because that's Ray's favo rite song, (Could he be that skating champion from Denver, Bobby? ) Elaine Robinson: Hm .. .. Harry likes "Prisoner of Love" so . . . . (Yes, yes, Elaine, go on.) Peggy Bayer: "Gotta Be This or That." Why? 'cause I'm trying to decide which one. (Blond or brunette, huh, P eggy?) Shirley Standley: I like "I Don't Know Enough About You.' ' Why? Well, one Friday night .... (and with that she tore down the hall, h mph!!) Kathryn Johnston: "Rumors Are Flying" Yuk! Yuk! (Are they true about him, Kathy? ) Norma Loetterle: I love " Da ncing in the Dark." The song, that is. Oh, wouldn't you like to know why? (Curiosity is k illing us, Norma.) Norma Fischer: "To Ea ch His Own." Why? That's anybody's guess. (Depending on whom they guess, eh?)
Slow Down a Little There's Plenty of T ime Did you ever stop an d think for a minut~just w hat kind of place Lincoln high might be if everyone ran full speed up or down stairs , as perhaps you did yesterday noon or maybe t h is morning to home room? "Well," you say, "I might have been late to home room, or John Brown was going to get ahead of me in the lunch line.'' So what!! Slow down a bit so that you can think of a good reason for being late to class and tha:i. resolve to yourself to start a few minutes earlier next time. As for the lunch line, don't worry. There's always a plentiful amount of food for everyone. Avoid collisions and accidents by doing your part to . maintain L. H. S. traffic at 'par.
Put Gum in Waste Cans Not Under Desks, Tables Biggest improvement of the week would be for all the bubbleh app y gum chewers to wrap their source of concentration in a small piece of paper and deposit it in one of the many w aste cans p rovided, instead of sticking it under the edge of a t able, desk, or chair for some.one else to get tangled up in.
Triple Trio Will Sing Two Songs for Class Selections to be sung for the junior assembly by the triple trio are "Over the Ra inbow" and "So's I Can Write My Name.'' Under the direction of Miss Dorthea Gore, t he group of girls plans to pr actice one- ha lf hour t wo nights a week before the assembly on October 31.
(6) Not to think about the op• posite sex!!!' Some consolation may be given to those with low marks :for the first six weeks, in the fact that there is still time left to make credit. When pupils take their reports home to be signed (ah! yes! they must h ave the parent's signature), they will no doubt hear how wonderfully smart mother and father were in high school-all l 's and 2's, that is. Either school must have · been much easier or they've forgotten those bad m arks. Some of the excuses that might be tried, but usually aren't successful, are: (1) But that teacher doesn't give l 's and 2's. (2) She doesn't lik e me very well!! (3)No one in that class understands what she's trying to t each us. ( 4) You should h ave seen the terrible m ark that Mary, Sue, and J ane got. All this leads up to the sole solution: Get down t o w ork and study hard (harder anyway) so the twel ve weeks reports ..will make everyone happier.

Scientists hav e invented the electric blanket, n ow why don't they invent an electric band uniform and maj orette uniform?

Seattle Prohibits Girl Cheerleaders Girl cheerleaders are not allowed in Seattle schools, writes Bonnie Albert who moved to Seattle, Washington, last summer. Upon entering school this semester Bonnie asked the girl's adviser if it1,were possible that she could try ~ut for cheer leader, but a quick',,~mswer came that it is not lady-like for girls to be cheerleaders. Bonnie says that the schedules in the Seattle schools are much different from Lincoln high's. There is a study hall hour before school and three during the day and all the games are played in the afternoon. While Bonnie was in Lincoln high· for her sophomore year, she was in the Peppers and the Mummers. She also tried out for cheerleader here last spring.

"He is a bulwark as a defensive and equally effective in offensive play," stated B~ll P feiff and Ralph Beechner together. " A great all around football player who can, and has p layed about every position on a football team ." This description, as Beechner puts it, fits Fred Lorenz '39. Willard Bunker '38 was a great tackle in high school, but in collegiate football' changed over t o an end. "He is quiet, but oh, how he can play ball," stated Beechner.

While some boys are deep in a game of checkers, others are having a game of car ds or enjoying a soft drink or a candy bar, at the snack bar. Because a new pool table was being installed in the regular game room, it was not open Oct ober 12 but was in use Saturday evening, October 19. Also pingpong was played by those who like a quick game. "Gee! I sn' t this swell, this band is really smooth," and "This is really going to be swell," were two of the most common remarks exchanged throughout the evening of October 12 when the band first played. The band will make another appearance at the Wreck, for the Halloween party Saturday, October 26. Also a sketch has been planned to be presented during intermission. Season tickets may be obtained at the "Wreck" for fifty cents per ticket. Single admission will be ten cents per evening.

Dont' 'Let Goerge Do It' Know The World Situetion "The atomic bomb has fused all nations into "one world". It is the hope of plain men everywhere that those who guide nations and peoples will be enlightened by the promise of abundance for all mankind." The above ql.lotation, from "Look" magazine, seems to sum up the thoughts and opinions of most people. Sometimes all the the talk about price controls and the Palestine situation kind of go "over our heads", and we want to shrug it all off, and flip over a shiny !lewleaf ... We begin to wonder about the "how's" and the "why's" of it all. Very confusing to say the least. The job of "straightening it out" mustn't be left entirely to the peo· ple represenUng us in the UN, while the rest of us sit back with a sigh to watch while 41George does it". It should begin right with us! We, as high school s.tudent~. are the leade:::-:.; of tomorrow, and it is our duty to ..,,!r11elves and to our country to understand i.tor.1.e thing about what's going on around us. Brush up on current events, and skip that "swoony" new dance program this time to listen to a news commentator, or the man giving a worth-listening-to speech. It'll do us all a world of good to know and understand what's taking place in this fast movin~ world of today!
Last Lunchers Want More 'Good' Meals; Others Do Last lunch . . • Why is it that pupilS1 don't seenr" quite happy about the whole "deal" when their•lunch time falls during the last lunch period? · Don't you know? Or are you one of t he luckier ones who is in .another shift? Ask almost any "last luncher", and you'll probably be told, "There's nothing left to eat by then. They don't save us anything!" That's about how things are. Maybe you call this "griping", but they call it just plain hunger! Especially when they hear others in the crowd talking about the swell cupcakes tbey had, or pie (two items which those of the last lunch brigade rarely see) . If the women in the cafeteria would save out some of these things for "last lunchers", would you take advantage of it?

Is Your Pen Name Humphrey Schmatz?
'Kenny Treatment and New Iritocostrin Drug Help in Polio Recovery,' Says Mrs. Soldoni
Another cbaracter has stepped into the limelight with the famous "Smoe" and Kilroy. Humphrey Schmatz is making quite a record for himself by writing articles for writers club and th.e Advocate. Humphrey's comical poems made such an impression on the manuscript committee of writers club that he. was unanimously elected for membership. Miss Belle Farman reports that Humphrey wrote a very interesting letter to the editor which was denjed publication in the Advocate because a pen name was used, without. the true author being .identified as a bona fide pupil in Lincoln high school. Writers club is offering a hearty clap on the back to anyone w ith information about the wayward new member, Humphrey Schmatz. Even Humphrey pas his ups and downs. This was proved by the appearance of his name on the October 18 absence list.

Queer characters and strange lighting held the thrilled audience in continuous suspense ~n the Lin· coin high school auditorium on the evening of October 18 and 19, as a cast of 14 seniors protrayed the three-act pla~ "One Mad Night." Arriving home for a rest only to find the house taken ove.r by wierd persons from a nearby asylum is the pl1:1ywright, Don Cutter, played by Robert Mosher , with his Cltlnes.e valet Wing, Jack Wynkoop. Sue Turner was Mrs. Kluck the housekeeper. Among the inmates he finds the lovely Lucille, Velma Lou Watkins, who is being held captive. The captors are Dr. Bun, head of the asylum, Keith Mills, and the lawyer, A.r temus Burke, Bob
In Other Schools "It is a privilege to return to school without being in constant fear of Germans," WliS the statement made b.Y Char!1:1s Gonnet, 18, former resident of Paris, now enrolled in Lincoln high school, Tacoma, Wasllington. Charles was a member of FFI (part of French underground) operating in Southern France. Among his duties w ere those of molesting Germans to slow them up. Being caught once by Germans ;md held three days was his closest brush with the . enemy. "Students in La Crosse, Wis· consin, who participate in out side sports are required to t ake out athletic accident insurance which is offered by the Wisconsin Inter-Scholastic Association," states the La Crosse Central high school paper, "The High Tribune." This insurance covers any in'ju.r y occuring in sports approved by the association which includes all sports carried on by the school. Students enrolling in r egular gym, may also take advantage of this insurance.
Dating sometime over the week-end was Shirley Herpolsheimer with Jim Blankenship, Jenny Tomsik with Jim Gwynn (NU), M:arilyn Zolot with John W. Smith, Vivian Holmes with Bill Misko, Shirley Bratt with Dean Killian (NU), and Betty Ward with ex-links Dick Phillips. Jane Welch was seen with Gilbert Hudson and Marjorie Reeve with Cathedral man, Don Webb. Annette Carnahan was with Don Benson (something new), and Betty June Foster with Bill Lauchenslager. :Rosey Sitzman was with Dick Meyer, again!!! (Getting pretty steady, don't you think?) The · result was lots of fun for all concerned.

The boy took his girl friend's hand and gazed proudly at the ring he had placed , there a few days before. "Did all your girl friends admire it ?" he asked fondly. "They did better than that," she re. sponded. "Three of them recognized it." (That's enough of that!)
Just 60 years ago today a b eautiful piece of art was given t o the Unit ed States by France to symbolize the friendship between the two countries.

for an hour by helping him to exercise and learn muscle coordination. Intocostrin helps in such a way that it relaxes t he patient, making exercise easier. Mrs. Soldoni brought out the point that exercise, particularly swimming, was important to the polio victim. It is stressed especially at the Orthopedic wher e children are taught muscle education by the attendants. "All in all, the children have a varied program which includes hot packs, physio-therapy, handi· craft work arid visiting with chil• dren in the ward. After a while as the patient progresses he may attend school in the hospital. Teachers visit the wards daily i.nstructing each individual," explained Mrs. Soldoni. In the 1942 epidemic, the Or• thopedic sent many of its state polio cases t o Lincoln Gener al hospital which at that time was the only hospital in the city set up for polio treatment. However, t he state grant ed that year the Orthopedic hospital the r ight to care for its own patients by set,. ting up a polio depar tment within the hospital. At this · time. four graduate nurses, Mrs. Soldoni be· ing one of the group, two physicians and one physic-therapist were sent by the hospital to Minneapolis where they were instrµc ted il'.l the applicati.on of the Kenny treatment. "Chances for complete polio recovery are about 50 per cent whUe crippled and partly paralyzed take 3Q per cent ap.d 20 per cent, respectively," stated Mrs. Soldoni.

They're b oth · sophomores who have made their way to positions on the first football squad! Nolan told me in our conversation last Friday that next to football, he likes boxing best of all! He didn't tell me how he got t hat nickname of the "F ox" though! Only 14, this fan of jitterbugging and the music of Louis J ordan, plays wing back position w it h the Links. He thinks it's really sw ell, this game known as football • • •• Drafting and the "Fox" are b est of, buddies! He speaks of it as his favorite subject, but admits that w hen it comes t o English; that's a different story • . . It sort of gives him a wee bit of trouble! And though he's in the auto mechanics curriculum, he hasn't much desire really to make this his vocation after he finishes high school. He actually hasn't d ecided this point yet. Dick Flynn, 15-year-old "soph," who plays tail back, loves footb all, . but has . a fondness for basketball, track; 'n' boxing, too! And when it's " just for fun" he'll go along bowling or swimming. He doesn 't like gir l s!!! Sez Mr. Flynn, "I like quiet people." Hmmmm . . . • A true Irisher, Dick's favorite color is green, and to prove it, when I interviewed him, he was wearjng a bright kelly green sweater! Verra "purty'' too, it was.

By Betty Olson. With rosy cheeks and an appetite big enough to eat practically anything in sight, the seventeen hikers, arrayed in jeans, arrived in Bethany park Wednes- . day, October 16, after tramping a distance of almost five miles down
Vine street from Twenty-second and J streets. The murky afternod'n had a crisp snappy air and was agreed by all to be ideal for hiking, although a little bit of sunshine would have been appreciated. After starting a warm fire the hikers sat down to eat. These seventeen energy..;filled girls were Jo Ann Cardwell, Eleanor Louthan, Beverly McMichael, Jean Imig, Joan Sommer, Darlene Barcus, Marian Ekblad, Millie Rice, Ruth Ann Richmond, Henryetta Hagelberger, Mary Lou Carr, Elsie Schafer, Lorene Hoschele, Helen Boydston, Evelyn Daharsh, J.ackie Boeke and yours truly. A hiking emblem will be earned by those attending three-fourths of the hikes held throughout the school year. All who would be interested in a hike, Thursday, October 24, to Pioneer park, stop by the girls gymnasium tonight, or get in touch with Marian Ekblad. Rain, rain and more rain. Such is the cause of delay of the speedball tournament. Enough practices must. be held for the girls to learn the game almost to perfection before the tournament can be held, explains Miss Lillian S tory. So all speedball players are hoping for blue skies for the following weeks. The fifth per iod Tuesday and Thursday physical education class has been visited lately by Mrs. Elvera Christiansen, who is in charge o.f the physical education cadets at the University of Nebraska. Mrs. Christiansen is observing both the work of the cadets and the class. Miss Lillian Story has asked to lend a little publicity and sympathy to those hard working people in charge of selling food and coring apples at the football games. These loyal G. A. A. m embers miss out on most of the games in order to supply you. These girls are Marian Ekblad, Jo Ann Edson, Mary Peck, J anet Carr, Ruth Bergstraesser, Elsie Schafer, Dorothy Estes, Georgia Moren, Lou McConnell, Eleanor Louthan, Maxine Keeny, Jo Ann Cardwell..

George Wilcox, '46 graduate o:f Lincoln high, writes. from a service club in San Francisco that along with niany other Lincoln high school boys who were on furlough during the first and second weeks of school, he is waiting to be shipped to Korea. "Korea is the hotbed of Asia since it is partly controlled by Russia," states George. "And with the Russian-American t ension a s it is today, the result is going to be hard among Korean occupation troops." · T here are now nearly 100,000 troops there, where the climate is much like that of Michigan, but the country is dirtier and filthier . George added, "A medical officer told some other G. I.'s a nd me never to eat with the natives, as you never know what you are
eating. However, the peace of the world can only be decided by cooperation amon g individual troops in the oriental countries, which points out that the American foreign policy is backed by the t roops and doesn't make their words sound like an echo." George points out in his letter that he has fou nd, in the past few months, that journalism is a wonderful asset t o the student as it develops a keen sense of perception and "what goes on" in this world. "If anyone taking a journalism course receives· even a small quantity of journalistic 'finding,' he has really gotten something out of t he course." As for his plans after he leaves the army, George intends t o go to Georgetown univer sity in Washington, D. C., to study state department propaganda.

.The Saratoga's part in the Bikini tests was the subject of Lieutenant Commander J. L. Landreth's talk before a B assembly, Tuesday, October 29. He gave an eyewitness account of the action before and after the tests. "The Saratoga arrived at Bikini the first of June and we immediately set to stripping her of unnecessary equipment. Before the test, we were involved in installing instrumentive devices which would record what happened," he said. Evacu ations were started three days · before the test. Evacuated by transport launch just before the test, eleven men were a few miles away when they were told to turn aw~y from the scene and shield their eyes. Terrific Explosion Seen "Our knees began to shake as we thought about what the outcome might be and then, through our shielded eyes, we saw a flash and knew· it was over," continued
Mr. Landreth. "We turned around then and saw a strange cloud on the horizon after the smoke cleared. Then the atomic cloud began to rise. It was of huge mushroom shape and looked l ike whipped cream, .tinted red underneath. Then we saw the spectacle which we ~ad long awaited. There sat the Saratoga, apparently u nharmed.

Duane Ainlay gav e a vocal solo "Without . a Song," composed by Vincent Yomeris. Others Also Do Solos Anothe r tap dance routine was presented by Marguerite Harrison and Weldon Baker, "The Man of Magic," presented the "Slight of the Hand." Wayne Carter's interpretations of "The Man I Love" one of George Gershwin's most famous, brought loud applause, as did a vocal solo "Invictus," sung by Lyle Ulstrom. A trumpet solo "Maid of the Mist" composed by Clar k, played by Marla Marx, was one of the feature numbers. What most would call "The Impossible," appear s to take no ef · fort for Beverly Hennek, who did an acrobatic dance called "Persian Dance." Furnishing music for the dance was Norma Nordahl playing the xylophon e. Triple Trio Performs A group of nine girls "The Triple Trio" from girls glee, captivated the audience with their version of "Jealousy." These girls are Charlotte Denake, Gretchen Bowers, Marjlyn Clark, Lorene Brown, Lucille Anderson, Susan Marshall, Ardath Wilcox, Roxanna Elias and Joy McGrail. Robert Crook closed the program by playing the original arr angement of "J er sey Bounce."

The second time there w as no flash, but ten tons of water rose in a column at the precise moment. A mushroom of smoke came out of the top of this column. One minute, the column was not there and the next minute it was. "When the smoke cleared, we saw the Saratoga still afloat, but badly damaged. Her quarterdeck was gradually edging closer and closer to the sea." Tugs couldn't get close enough to beach her becau se of the radioactivity. Over seven hours after the test, the Saratoga quietly slipped to the bottom. Concluding, he stated, "I wonder how the grandmother of the carriers felt, forty fathoms below the surface. She had withstood the ·w orst offensive J apan could offer and now she could dedicate her life to the future."

THE ADVOCATE
Will the Lost Be Found? Inquire at the Bookroom Do you have the habit of mislaying everything? You share this unfortunate handicap with many fellow pupils here at L. H. S., it seems. There are various types of "losers", if you stop to think about it, but we'll just use two as examples.· The first type to come up for our inspection is the "what's the use'! character. She knows she put her charm bracelet on this morning, and now it's just disappeared! But, oh well, it was an old thing anyway, and she's just "hard luck Hannah". There wouldn't be a chance in a million that she'll ever see it again . .. Type two, and the shining example (every story has one) is the fella who laid his ski-sweater down while he and the other buy;; were roughhousing outside, and forgot to get it when they came back for fourth period. Right after school down to the bookroom goes our industrious "Joe" to inquire about his roving possession. Your "lost" may not be "found" and returned the very day you notice that it's missing, but don't . give up with only one try. Keep inquiring every day or so. Patience is rewarded, so the saying goes . • •
Cooperation of All: Noon Activities Will Succeed! Scads and scads of interesting things to do during the lunch hour are in the offing for us along with the forty-five minute lunch plan being adopted. Dancing, movies and games are among the things being organized to he,lp make our longer lunch periods more interesting as well as relaxing! These noon-time activities will be a success only if there is complete stpdent cooperation on all points. The various committees are doing their best to give us the things they think we'll enjoy most of all, and of course, it's up to us to show them that we appreciate their interest and effort. It's a very good "deal"-and one we should take advantage of! ! !

Teen-A.gers and Money MatteTs; Do We Mix? A ver7 interesting article appearing in the November issue· of ·McCall's is a "must read" for all teen-agers. Entitled "Do They Know The Value of a Dollar?" it discusses how we high school (and junfor high students earn and spend our money. More than 70 percent of all teen-agers country over, earn at least a part of their spending money; and while boys are the bigger spenders, they are also the bigger earners, acco·rding, to the article. What are our reasons for all this ambition? We like to have fun, and fun costs money. We want more clubs, more good places to go to dance. More than 58 percent save a large percentage of their earnings, and 26 percent earn all of their own money. Forty percent receive allowances from their parents. Of all questioned, it was found that 61 percent ·of the girls work, and 82 percent of the boys. A common money making device among all girls from 12 to 18 is baby-sitting, where rates are from 25 cents to 35 cents an hour. Boys throughout the country are building for the future as apprentices to printers, silversmiths, carpenters, tool and dye workers, etc. The cross-section of our teen-age youth reported by the writer of the McCall's article says, "We feel that we should be allowed to spen~ the money we earn as we like. Through our mistakes we will learn to be more careful in the future." What would your answer to the question be ? Do we know the value of a dollar?

Budding Child Psychologist, Nancy--· On Lighter Side, Favors Airplanes!! Hi people! Just a sec-I want you to m eet one very cute junior, Nancy Baird, who's positively "wacky" about art! Nan , a 16-year-old, as of October 6, w ith brown hair, 'n ' brown eyes that sparkle when she laughs, which s he does a lot, is taking the arts and science course. While you may be led to believe tha t art will be her vocation a.h.s. (after hi-school) it's only her favorite hobby!! The lady wants to be a child psychologist, no less! 1.! Somehow, I keep comi ng back to Nan's interest in art . . . She's been at it since the sixth grade, with her favorite type being figure drawing. The main she r eason she became so interested, at the wise old age of 11; is because of the influence of Elizabeth Dolan, one of Nebraska's foremost artists. I n the clothes line, Nancy's taste runs to suits, with acce nt on brown, which is her favorite color. But being a very normal " teener," Nan loves bluejeans, as do all the rest of us! The best song ever penned, according to Miss Baird, is " The Old Lamplighter" ... and the way Perry Como sings it just sends her spinning into seventh heaven!!

The rider only, and not the horse, will be judged (..n the following things : the position of the rider in the saddle, ~he way the rider holds her hands and handles the reins, and the ability of the rider to walk, trot and canter the horse. The time and place of the contest will be arranged to meet the convenience of those who enter. A beautiful Indian summer day greeted the energetic hikers Thursday, October 24. They left from school around 1:30 p. m. and walked to Pioneers p ark. Included among this group were Darlene Barcus, Jack ie B oe ke, J o Ann Cardwell, E velyn Daharsh , Eleanor Louthan, Beverly McMichael, Lucille Anderson, Maxine K eeney and Marilyn Munson. Reaching the buffalo stat ue a t the entrance of the park, e veryon e "plopped dow n" to rest and eat. Archery emblems will be awarded to those individuals who place first, second, third and fourth in the tournament tomorrow. All archers whll think they can out shoot Robin Hood, sign up in the girls' gymnasium and find out.

Leadership Candidates Need To Meet Certain Standards. Are you planning to run for office in one of the many school activities next semester? You are? Well then let's go back to that old subject of citizenship and scholarship. Yes, these two items play an all important part in con.n ection with the matter. Passing of 15 hours of work at the end of the semester is a must, not a maybe, for eligibility. Failure to meet this requirement will disbar you for six weeks of the following semester from any school activi~ies. After being out for six weeks, if the grades are raised, you will automatically become scholastically eligible. On the other hand, if barred by poor citizenship, you are banned from activities for the entire ensuing semester, unless at the end of the six weeks, a satisfactory report is given, when you ask for it, by your current teachers.' You do I\Ot yourself go to the teachers, but to the councillor for boys or for girls. Someone other than the pupil concerned will then present the request for rating to the teachers. Here are the facts. You are the one who wants to be in some activities. This is only the tenth week of school, so there is time to get busy and be in on things next semester. What do you say? It's up to you.
Education Needed for Present Atomic Age Education for the Atomic age, the general theme for the twenty-sixth anniversary of American Education week, recognizes that mankind has entered into a new age. While the problems that concern this age are global, solution should begin in t he local community. Seven short topics are brought out under this all important heading. Practicing brothsrhood every day might well result in new declaration of welfare against ignorance and prejudice. Foreign language as offered today is link in international friendship. To help make the UNO function effectivery and to do its part in building world security is the greatest single challenge facing education today. Classes in modern problems, debate, history and civics help in this training. With shortage of teachers and more veterans returning for education, the schools are facing new t asks in the reconversion of their programs. The unfinished tasks in education make .larger investing in educat ic;1 11eces0ary. Today milli9ns of children h~ve r,o school, or in part only mediocre advantages. Working together to give better values are the developing of better communities and the strengthening of home life. Environment plays a huge part in the life of the average child. Practical homemaking courses make the child seek wholesome environment. The battle for promoting health and safety is one that never ends. The increase in the accident rate makes instruction in safety a must. If all schools make the most of these subtopics, education in this country and in the world is bound to be significant.

In the Paths of Others, Are You an Obstacle? Mornings when you start upstairs to your home room, do you find gir ls artd boys sitting on the stairs? In a very nice manner, you ask a f ew of them to move over a wee bit so you may squeeze through. Do they do it? The answer is a n emphatic "NO!" accompanied by a vicious look. Why! they wouldn't dream of moving themselves. Just think, they might miss out on the latest gossip and you know wha~ tl).at would mean. Or do you? But, seriously, you that sit on the steps. J ust when did you buy them from the s chool? You didn't. Well then, who are you to monopolize the right of way? Give the other guy an even chance, for after all, all people are created equal.

So, here goes nothingTearing down the hall for the Advocate office. we ran smack into two shy little boys whom we thought would be super for our weekly interview. We cornered the timidlooking souls by the names of Donnie Hergert and Jim Dean. (Any relation to the two juniors by those names of the football team isn't our fault!) · Ideal Girl: 5'11", 24 years of age, blonde, blue eyes, big feet, and a set of wheels.

Well, comes this time of the year, namely last Saturday night, when all the gals take after Sadie Hawkins and find themselves a man. This affair also saved the guy's some money. (Oh, how they loved it, huh fellas?) Anyhoo, the biggest deal for Saturday night we know of is the seven couples who, after a spaghetti dinner, went out dancing. These were: Miriam Hicks escorting Jack Moore, Bev Williams and Ed Weir, Pat Gaddis and Dick Means, Nancy Noble and Don Etmund, "Tub" Coble and Teddy O'Shea, "Tish" Swanson and Bill Henkle, and Phyl Haley with Dale Capek. Also seen were Roxie Elias with Don Bryant who is home on feave from the Marines. Great t o see you, Foxie ! With them were Carolyn Roberts ·and Bill Roberts and Margaret Thomsen with Jerry Mapes.

Survey School With Amazement Viewing for the first time the high school which their father attended, two pretty young . ladies paid a visit to Lincoln high recently,' Upon learning from their father· that they were outside the building in a car, Miss Ethel Bryant and Miss Ethel Murray invited them in to see the interior of L.H.S . . Wide-eyed and interested, they were brought to see the fifth period home nursing class. Here they were given a warm welcome by the girls and they seemed to feel quite at home. Being quite shy, they d eclined from saying anything, but they viewed the class activities with a great deal of curiosity. After a short stay, Miss Bryant and Miss Murray carried the pretty visitors back to their parents. You see, they were Jan Marie Binger, age three months and Nannette Louise Binger, age two and one half years. Their father, George Binger of Kearney, was a '37 Links and star football player on the L .H .S. team.

Question oJ the Week Just to be different, we decided this week to make a "test of knowledge" and came . up' with this result, (? ) ! If somebody were to say to you, that you had a zoanthropy, in your opinion what would you have?? Ah, just look at the willing (?) answers we cornered!! Gwen Mitchell: I don't know, but it is probably something I shouldn't have. (How right you are, Gwen) Bill Strahl: The art of admiring girls at the zoo. (Now Bill) Lucille Anderson: Indigestion (Maybe that's what brings it on, Louie? ) Loretta Waline: The answer to the question never asked. (What could. that be?) Dick Chuman: John Morris, middle name. (So dignified, Dick!) Jo Ann Edson: A wart . Ed Steinaur: An animal from the zoo. Marilyn Munson: Bad case of · ignorance. (We understand!) Gene Lamberson: Three-legged animal (Animal?) JoAnne Weaver: A fancy pie.· Marian Ekblad: A pet pig. Well a ccording to Mr. Webster, zoanthropy is a kind of mania in which the patient believes himself to be transformed into an anim al. Now a ll you brainy ( ?) people, the answer is known.
Nancy Newcomer Is 1a Bit Baffled by Energy of Lunch Line Personalities As the clock ticks there is a mad rush for the door. It's time for lunch. Nancy Newcomer is a bit baffled by the energy of the famished class. She starts slowly and uncertainly toward the cafeteria. Wa lking down the lunch line she spies some luscious looking devil's food cake but quickly forgets it because her figure is more important than delicious luxuries. She selects for her lunch tciday, a dish of chicken and noodles, some hot r olls, a vegetable salad and milk. While eating her lunch she notices how the lunch trays m atch the personality of the temporary owner. The tall, lanky boy with glasses buys everything that's nutritious, such as carrots, they're good for the eyes, spinach, it builds good blood, and of course milk w hich h elps make h ealthy t eeth. The short, plump girl buys a jello salad, chocolate pudding,
Open Forum To the Editor: Getting home from late afternoon and evening activities at school proves to be quite a problem, mainly because there is no' phone t o use. Recently w e miscalculated the ending of an a ctivity by an hour. There was n owhere to phone so we waited th at hour for our parents to come after us. It seems to me tha t this" could b e avoided by setting up a p erma nent phone, pay or otherwise, to b e used b y pupils after games and a ctivities held in the school, since it is so hard to t ell at what time these activities will end.

United States and probably one of the largest in the world. They have two clyinder presses which are used for printing books. On . one of the presses, only one side of the paper may be used, while on the other, both sides of the paper may be used, by shifting the paper so the dots come between the lines on the o't her side. The plates from which they print are thin sheets of metal which receive the dots· or indentions. A stereotype machine having six keys is used to punch the dots in the plates. The Braille print is very big, so books printed in Braille are very much bigger than ordinary books, as the · Bible for instance, printed on pages about 11 by 14 inches would be about four feet high. Because it would be impossi.ble to have such a big book they make each chapter into a different bqok. · The employees. proof read the books by putting their left hand on the left hand side of the page to find the line and then run their right hand across the line fe eling all the indentations. After reading one line they move their left hand down to find the next line and repeat the whole procedure. Six truck loads of books are sent through the mail each week, for which t hey get free mailing to all parts of the United States and some foreign countries.

laSt weekend, Friday and Saturday, November 3 and 9. With 2,000 leaders, scouts and cubs taking part in the exhibit, which was crowded into Agriculture hall on the state fair grounds, there was barely room for the spectators to inspect the-75 booths. Cubs had prepared 35 booths showing many new and different advancement projects, scouts were responsible for having displays in 40 booths, and senior scouts occupied three booths. Forty of the booths on the main floor and thirty-five in the balcony displayed all kinds of scout merit badg_es. and activities. Almost every one had a display including first aid , athletics, archery, signaling, dog care, pioneering, animal industry, home repairs. "Each booth was a show in itself and the whole exposition was a display that one will remember for a long time," declared Corn.: husker Council Scout Executive Frank M. Chase. .· Of particular interest to high school spectators were the displays of the Forty~third Air Scout Squadron and the Sea Scout Ship No. 56. Air scouts Elton Lewis, J im Mikkelson, Jack Loudon and Bill Owen from Lincoln high, clad in sky blue colored uniforms, showed interested on-lookers the training advantages and complicated mechanism of a Link trainer. The spectators also had an opportunity to inspect the basic trainer (B. T.-13) presented to the Air Scouts by the American Legion and Nathan Gold. Sea Scouts decked out in their uniforms were on duty at the Sea Scout land ship "Shahgrila" to explain to interested guests the activities .and purposes of Sea Scouting and to display some model ships that they had made. First mate Dick Olney, bowswain- Bill Beasley, Officers of the Day Bill Drier and Bruce Waddle, crewmen Dick Shonerd, Alan Katskee, and Harold Norden from Lincoln high were on duty at this booth. Sea Scouts were in charge of the opening and closing ceremonies each evening. This _was· the first time that Lincoln scouts have staged " show of this kind- and after the success of this one it has been decided to present a show like it every other year alternating with the Scout circus.

The sons of the Black and Red! R obert Patterson. Get up, Get up, our heroes I say Get up off the field, don't cry. Let it never be said that the Lincoln team Was beaten by Central high. Kenneth Barnes. 0 they fought on, and on they fought, And c;eered by the r oar of the crowd, Until they crone to Central's goal post, Leaving those Eagles in a cloud. 0 they cheered on, and on they cheered, For the deed that Lincoln had done, And though Central tried with all their might Lincoln got through to their zone. Jack Coffman. He caught the ball in his dirtblack hand, And never let it slip, And -then he saw the Central high boys come, And tightened on h is grip.
0 he ran on, and on he ran, And all the people roared, Until he came to the south goal post, And there it was he who scored. Myra Westgate.

Hearing Tests Given Juniors Hearing tests are now being given in room 108 to j un i ors. When the student first enters the room, he is. given a strict warning by the nurse not to stumble on any of the cords that are scattered about the flo·or. After he has put on a weird sort of earphone, the nurse then says absolute silence is necessary in order to take the test. A record with two voices, sometimes a man's or sometimes a woman's, is heard. The· woman starts giving the students numb ers. Each number is fainter than the one before. The voice finally fades away into nothing. The grading in the test is by percent. If a student gets too low a percent, the test is given to him again . . Some of the low scores are due to the number . of colds which h a ve been going a round the schooL The nurse has made exceptions in t hese cases. As soon as the tests for the juniors are completed the r est of the school will be tested.

Although the few cents that you gave to the worthy cause didn't seem like much at the time, you may have helped save some foreign boy or girl from freezing by helping to buy him or her a winter coat or some other wearing apparel, or provided for some local family who lost all their possessions in a fire.

Open Forum j To the Editor: Why aren't seniors allowed to go out for reserve football squad? I think that is a question in the minds of many Lincoln high school students. lf t hey v1ere allowed to show what t hey couk do, it .would give them a chanc:! to be asked up for t he main t ean football. Many seniors t hink they ar:n 't good enough for the Vasity squad, but given enough prictice wi!h the reserves, could be noved up in fine shape so that sone unknown talent would be Jrought out. An Interested J.mior. Editor's Note-At the r iquest of the Advocate, this a1swer is given: The athletic deparfment does not exclude . anyone fom the opportunity of working for the first team. In football, the r eserve football squad if made up of sophomores and ji:niors because it is a training period ::or t hose who have displayed ability in football by playing on the beginning football teams known as the north field organization. The first and second squads are the squads from which our complete t eams are chosen and we limit the number of squad members to around 35. We need to limit the number on the squads because of t he short period of training and because only two coaches are assigned t o each of the two squads. Boys who are sophomores, juniors and seniors can play on the north field squads and it is not impossible to go directly from the' north field to the varsity squad. We urge all boys to start beginning football in the sophomore year so that, if they w ant, they will have a better chance of making the varsity team. The reserve squad is for those underclassmen who show enough promise for varsity material, either during the sophomore or junior years. In our plan of organiza._ tion, if there is . a senior who bebelieves that he is good enough .to make t he varsity, he can come to the north field and go directly to the varsity squad if he shows that he has the ability to perform in varsity competition. It is impor tant t o note that . in the north field football organization this year we had an average attendance of 75 to 80 boys and we had a large number of (uniors and senior boys r epor f.i ng regularly. We play football in t he 11orth fiel d for fun and we find some boys who can play well ai~d others who are just learning but h ave the desire to play. We sent quit e a few boys to the reserv·~ squad from the north field thi.; year and we w ill recommend some for the reserve and varsity squads next semester. Sincerely, Ralph W. Beechner, Director of Athltics.

Outdoor Theater . Plans Are Told By Herminghaus Program Given -In Auditorium November 24 "By the middle of next July, we hope to see the Pinewood bowl in Pioneer park actually. completed," revealed Ernst Herminghaus, superintendent of city parks, to students at the a rt club meeting, Monday, November 11. "Of cou rse this depends largely upon the ability to get workers, supplies and about $25,000 b eing raised in a campaign which began this week by the women's division of the chamber of commerce and the Lincoln Ministerial association." Mr. Herminghaus continued by explafoing more of the plans for this outdoor theater. The Bowl , located near the superin tendent's house, faces south, which will enable the audience to see the countryside at. least five miles away. Seven thousand persons are expected to be accommodated at one time. The dimensions of the entire unit are 160 by 300 feet, while the stage alone measures 30 by 50 feet. Mr. Herminghaus, w ho drew the original plans, took particular care in the seating arrangement. Eighty rows of seats constructed of steel frames and wooden backs, will be situated more or less on an oblique angle, the last row being 25 feet above the stage. Many Possibilities for Use. "Not only · may the bowl be

used, if the weather permits, for community sings, Easter sunrise and other church services, band concerts and operas, but also for political speeches and possibly commencement services," he pointed out. There is much f uture development in store for Pioneer park according to Mr. Herminghaus. Already thousands of pine trees. are being planted, while plan s are being mapped for m ore road construction. Mr. H~'rminghaus, who was graduated as a landscape architect from Harva rd university, continued in his talk by explaining to the stu dents about this occupation. Landscape Work Good Career. "Harmonious arrangement , of ground and the objects u pon it is a complete definition of landscape architecture. This takes in every thing from surveying to the actual planting. Becau se this profession includes the work of a civil engineer, m an y women w ho are t alented in garden design do not continue to graduate from the course. However the occup ation runs about 50 percent both ways. " Perhaps the best arch itect is the one who knows his examples - by this I mean the m an who does much research work a nd who has a vast knowledge of t he architect library a nd m aterial, know:.. ing of course how to use the best of it when putting the final plans together. In this field, w hich includes m odeling, horticulture, painting a nd designing, it is n ot always necessary to be original. One m ust know what is good and how to use it,'' Mr. Herm inghaus emphasized. "Landscape arch itecture has benefited me in many ways, particularly in bringing out the joys of living," he concluded.

"An important newspaper flash from Berlin can be transmitted to Lincoln in 8 m inutes and an extra can be pu t out anywhere from 15 . to 45 minutes after the flash is received," stated John Chapman, an Associated Press cor respondent stationed in Lincoln . " A student who wants a journalist ic career should take all the English, history, and econ omics he can get," d eclared Mr. Chapman .

Grand Island Downs Lincoln 6-0 Powerful Links
Reserves Win 34-6 Over B.T.
"Chuck" Worrall's Lincoln high reserves won their final game Tuesday, afternoon, finishing off their second all vic:!orious season in an exciting 34-6 win over the Boys Town B squad. The junior Links had their own way most of the time, with Boys Town sending Elvey over in the third quarter after a strong aerial barrage covered most of the . yardage. Lincoln's first tally came in the first quarter with Bob George legging it over from the four yard line. Jack Munson made the extra point with the type of kicking that brought in four after-touchdown points throughout the game. Score Twice in Second. In the second . quarter Bob Black scored two touchdowns, one with a run from the nine yard line and the second on a 35 yard pass from Cook, with Munson successfully kicking both points. In the third quarter Black scored again on reverse in which Cook got away for 40 yards to score, only to have the ball called back because of clipping. The try for the extra point was a failure and B. T. then came up for its lone tally. In the fourth quarter Cook again scored after a splendid 30. yard run through the middle of the line, Munson making good on the kick. \, Team Work Shows Results. Fine teamwork and cooperation &re given much of the credit for two perfect seasons for the reserves.

"'Breakfast Is Vital for Daily Nutrition,' According to Miss Bernice Krieger 'Efficiency of the high school pupil's school work is greatly increased by a good wholesome breakfast is a view h eld by Miss Bernice Krieger, home adviser of the Consumer s P u blic P ower district. "The importance of n ot skipping b reakfast can not be stressed enough," she emphasized. "Approximately one- third of a day's food should be eaten at breakfast . If a chlld misses breakfast, h e does himself a great har m, for h e is actually letting h imself go for eigh teen h ours, that is from six o'clock supper to twelve o'clock lunch w it hout any food, and then overl oading h is stomach at the noon meal an d as a r esult overt axing his -stomach." Around el even o'clock in the m orning, a sluggish ·tired· feeling overcomes a student who h as missed breakfast. "An average breakfast should consist ," sh e· continued, "of a cereal that is preferably h ot, an egg or bacon, toast or rolls, m ilk and fruit. This breakfast sh oul d be eaten in not less than fifteen minutes. · Coffee sh ould be left alone by high school students until
after they have gained full growth. This breakfast should be appetizing in appearan ce, tasty, properly prepared, ready on time, •served a ttractively a nd eaten with good manners." Although the government is helping to better t he h igh school lunch, these lunches cannot make up for a missed breakfast, is an opinion h eld by Miss Krieger . Asso~iated w ith th e nutrition for most of her life, Miss Krieger gr aduated from the Univer sity of Nebraska with a h ome economics m ajor and a ch emistry m in or. She ex pressed t h e belief that there are gr eat openings in the field of nut r ition, · su ch as exten sion, t eaching, bu siness, newsp aper and radio work. She said th at perhaps Iowa S tat e has a better h ome econ omics departm ent tha n the University of Nebraska although a n ew equipm ent b uilding h as been put into u se at the university . "Although nutrition is being ex te nsively taught as low as t he third and fourth grad es, mu ch work can be done t o educate t he school child to a b etter life."

Is Cheating Going to Get You Very Far in Life Have you ever wondered about these persons who always get good grades in exams, but never study their lessons? Lets hope you;re not one of these "fakers." For that is what they really are. Next time in your test, if you have time look around the room and see what is actually going on. The majority play ball according to the rules, but there are always some who break the rules like the boy beside you who is getting his answers by looking over the shoulders of the person front of him, or others, that generally sit toward the back of the room, are seen digging out "cheat notes" that have carefully been prepared, or else they are thumbing their way thru books trying to find the pages that have the right answers. You may ask yourself the question: What is to be gained by this? The answer is not one thing. You may think you are fooling the t eacher., but actually you are not. For she can t ell what kind of a person you. are and if she knows you cheat and are unfair, h er opinion of you will be lowered. By rdying on· others for your answers in high school you will h ave stamped great handicap on yourself, a nd habits are ·often very difficult to lose. This handicap will be its greatest burden on you in later life when you go out into the business world, for in this life cheating is a MUST NOT.

What Does Thanksgiving Mean to.You This Year? Thanksgiving is once again upon· us. To many it means vacation, turkey dinners with pumpkin pie a la whip cream. But did you ever stop to think of the name of this holiday ?If the pilgrims had meant it for a day to make yourself miserable eating so much, they probably would have named it after a favorite turkey, or anything else that came to their mind. As it is, the name implies a time of year set aside for the counting of blessings you received during the year and giving thanks for them. Altho we aren't always aware of our blessings, we have them. Our ancestors gave thanks' for food, shelter and free land. Today we don't think of these as our blessings, for to us they are common everyday things in our livee. But, for instance, if we didn't have these and other small items we would feel a great loss. Thinkin& of the poor children in foreign countries going hungry and freezing and who are thankful just to be alive. This year with the world on the road, to what we hope will be permanent peace, the people of the United States should have many more reasons to give thanks.

Never to ·be forgotten is the story of t h e first Thanksgiving which took place more than 300 years ago in the colony of Massachussetts on December 21, 1620. A group of 102 had set out across t he Atlantic in one small boat, the Mayflower, in search of desired freedom and new enterprise. Under the leadership of Governor Bradford, the party built several small ho uses and under the guidan.c e of friendly Indians, tilled the soil, plan ting corn and various other vegetables. Although severly cold weather, hardships and p oor food desb;oyed more than half of the small body, t hey still t ha nked God in gratitude for his blessings. After the first harvest, in prepar ation of t he memora ble day, four men were sent to hunt game for the feast, women were
bu sy bakin g bread and cook ing fine foods which weer to last more than a week lat er. Som e seventy Indian b raves were invited to attend t he grand affair. Massasoit, their chief, brought five deer and ot her I nd ian foods. One can almost. see P riscilla and the ot her women waiting tables on the long table of men and enjoy also t he aroma of cooking fo ods. Rejoicing and festivities extended m ore than three days with continuous f easting, and entertain m ent . The Pilgrims enter t ained their r ed skinned, friends by games a nd contests. It was not until after the Revolu tionary War that a day of thanksgiving was set aside by congress. Even then, onlv the North took part in tne celebra-

'Everyone Is Adequate in So1nething; States Dr. James Plant, Psychiatrist "Minimum r equirements for ever y child include security and adeq uacy," explained Dr. James S. P lant, psychiatrist and director of the Essex country juvenile clinic in Newark, N. J ., in a speech before Lincoln t eachers at Everett junior high school Monday, November 18. "There must be one or two per.sons with whom a child has a place merely ·because h e is t his person, thus giving him his sense of security. Ever yone is adequate in something if not in more t han one thing. Some people are inferior in all duties of t h e day except one," insisted Dr. P lant. In h is definition of the paradox of life, the doctor maintained t hat all per sons need t o be regimented, but at t he sam e time m aintain their individuality .

To the Editor : Is there a special reason why the Red and Black handbook t hat w as published befor e the w ar isn't published now? I know that lack of paper and manpower made it impossible during the war, but that can't be the reason now. During my sophomore year, I missed many activities becau se I wasn 't acquainted with the schedule of t he school's extra- cu r r icular act ivities. Orienta tion assemblies ate very useful, but it is impossible to cover all subjects ' in these s hort periods. E ven if it were possible, n o one could ever r emember them all. Many students h ave secured old copies from their brother s or sisters and find them ver helpful. Nancy Benjamin.

Of these different teams, Sioux City has done t he most damage t o Lincoln's r ecord by defeating the Links 3 times and holding them to 2 ties. Among the many honors Lin coln holds, on e of the most conspicuous is of being city ch ampions ever since the an nu al classic began between L incoln high and Northeast Lincoln back in 1941. This h igh ly impressive record has been due largely to the effort and determination of Ralph Beechner, for mer varsity football coach and now head of the athletice departm ent at Lincoln h igh.
Steel to Be More .Important Factor In the Construction of Future Homes Steel will be a m uch mor e im portant factor in the construction of homes in the fut ure than in the past, stated Ernest C. Dewey, a structilural engineer for Lincoln Steel Works, during a recent interview . He also said that m uch of the furniture w ill be con structed of stain less steel. " There will be iJ.n increasing demand for lighter m etalS in the constru ction of residences. Forinstance, aluminum w ill be used ex tensivel y for window sash an d door frames . Magnesium w ill be used in appliances, utensils, and in any pla ce where a saving in weight migh t be adv antageo us," Mr. Dewey said. That a career as a structu ral engirieer woul d be ·a wi~e choice now was his opinion, because there w ill be more good constru ction and econom ic construction demanding e n gineering k n owledge n ow than in the pa st . "Many hom es have been built by j ust a carpenter w ith n o regar d for desi gn of heating, ventilation, utiliza tion of space, or planning for convenience. Th e plans should be engineered tor reasons of safety, health , economy' and beauty," he ex plained.
"New homes will t end toward one story houses, with no basem ents or second story.

Two Teachers At Convention Milwaukee Is Scene of N.S.P.A. Reprsenting Lincoln high publications at the national scholastic press association and journalism directors convention in Milwaukee, November 28-30, were Miss Belle ·Farman for the Advocate and Miss Elizabeth Grone for the Links. It was the twentieth annual convention, the first since 1941. About 1500 students a nd sponsors were present, representing thirty ·states. "The convention was practical, giving many good suggestions. Of special interest was the AilAmerican yearbook exhibit," stated Miss Grone. Professionals Give Advice Twelve solid hours of meetings were attended b y the delegates. Valuable suggestions and ideas were offered by various professional and scholastic newspaper critics and writers.
Service Record Discussed and Made Public
~
Revision of the Lincoln high handbook has begun, with Robert Hlnds and Fern Egger in charge. Each student council member will be in charge of making the necessary corrections or additions Ui the different sections. The Red and -Black book should be ready to be printed soon after Christmas. Arll} Bands To Be Made. If good substantial felt can be obtained, new armbands will be made for the student council. Also, at the suggestion of Alva Cavett, the . .visual education boys, who run the movie projector in room 306, will r eceive armbahds so their authority will be rocognized. Letters r eceived by council members concerning the duties of the class officers are being sent to H. C. Mardis, principal and the class sponsors: Sehool Service Recognized. A plan is underway to acquaint the students with the service record. It w as noticed that service points· are forgotten by some students who otherwise would be tjigible for national honor society. Service records earned by assisting the sch ool in some way that hours cr edit and E. C. A. points are not given, are a factor in determining the members of that so· ciety.
At the opening convocation August Derleth, fiction writer, brought out the point cif m aking stories reaiistic by taking characters from life. Another speaker , Paul McMa hon, foreign corr espondent, suggested that anyone interested in entering this field should conform to the customs, learn the language a nd mingle with t he people of the country. Honesty Stressed Another point vitally stressed was t he essential of every good newspaper and its staff to uphold its standards of absolute honesty . One of the amusing r em arks of the convention was that of a newspaper editor who pointed out, "There will always be a place for a newspaper man-even in heaven b ecause the people of Colgate P rentice, who is the the south end will want to know 1946-47 president of 'Student· F ederalist, Inc., spoke before a what the others at the n'o rth end

Sue Turner Has Perfeel Hearing For the first time in the seven years tests have b een given, a member of Lincoln high has received a perfect score in the audiometer h earing tests. She is Sue Turner, senior, whose paper was the first perfect one to be corrected by the. school nurse, Mrs. Mary Mapes. "This is very unusual," said Mrs. Mapes, "for the average person is expected to make 3 or 4 errors." Out of the 756 juniors who were t ested, only eight were found t o have a serious hearing defect which is a normal p er cent. T hese tests are given every three years, for changes are noticed only at about this length of time unless caused qy a serious illness su ch as scarlet fever. "The test w ent along very w ell," continued Mrs. Mapes, " for the equipment w as in excellent condition."

Challenging the high school stud ents of today t o make the choice of whether they want to consider what goes on in the world as not b eing any of their problems, or whether they should want to take part in settling the problems a long with the adults of the nation, was in part the speech given. by Mr. Prentice. Directly addressing the pupils, Mr. Prentice said, "You can do a great deal to help. Youth h as the necessary k nowledge, foresight, a nd v ision. There is a tremendous r esponsibility on your shoulders. If we don't win the peace now, we may not have another chance. W orld government m u st come, but it may be by domination, not by a greement."

F ree chest X-r a ys will b e available in February for all teachers and students of L incoln h igh; P upils w ill be given chest X-ray examinations for tuber• losis if request forms are filled out by the parents. In taking this examination a p erson does n ot have to remove any clothing. The mobile X-ray u nit t o be used can take 100 pictures in less than an hour. Reports Are Confidential. Every person examined will re· ceive a confidential r eport through the mail, and the report will be referred to the family physician if desired.

When asked his opinion of socialized medicine in this country, Dr. Seagrave stated that he saw no. dan ger that socialized medicine woul d lead to a socialized governm ent, which is one of the main arguments against it, and w hat many people fear m ight happen. He b elieves that there is a great deal of d ifference between com plete government cont rol and socia lized m edicine. Dr. Seagrave also commented that h e felt it would be a worth while ex perience for you ng doct ors to go to Bu rma for a year or so and practice. · The old-fashioned doctor who was capable of treat ing a variety of cases has alm ost disa ppeared today, when doctors u su ally specialize in a cer tain kind of medicine. A year's practice as a medical missionary would give a doctor varied experien ce. The proceeds of Dr. Seagr ave's t our will go t o the reconstru ct ion of his hospital unit in Burma, and· will provide ·better buildings and more · equipment.

THE ADVOCATE
Service Record Gives Many Individuals Recognition
'Health Conditions of Nebraska Poorer Than Other States,' Says Miss Becker
Many students in Lincoln high are giving voluntary service to their school. This service doesn't carry any credit toward graduation, and is not included in the extra-cur~ ricular activities point system. Pupils may volunteer as: monitors in unin1pervised study; pages for health examinations; ushers, doormen, or guards for plays; hall guides; locker inspectors and guards; stage al!lsistants; on the auditing committee and giving of library service. Service other than these must be approved by the student affairs committee before it may be recorded. Besides giving pupils the satisfaction of knowing that they did something for their school, the facts are entered on their service record. This record helps in deciding members for the national honor society and, if business men or universities ask for information on pupils. these service records were available to them. Each teacher who is in charge of your task ftlls out a slip at the end of your service telling the type of service you did, the duration of it and your rating. Ratings are judged as either superior, average or inferior. It is very fair to be graded in this way. For a pupil who is efficient should have more mention than one who isn't on the job all the time; .or doing it half-hearted~ ly. In the past you may not have known about this, or what it is. Next semester you will have the chance to volunteer your services for whatever position you would like to hold and great consideration will be given you in connection with it. You will be serving your school as you make a better record for yourself. This semester approximately 200 pupils are. offering their services in duties which are not receiving any credit for graduation and which are not on the E.C.A. point system.

D.E.A. Hears Mrs. Hustead Mrs. Lucy D. Hustead of the better business bureau was the guest speaker at the D. E. A. meeting Wednesday,· December 4, in the auditorium. "There are 100 business bureau's in the United States and Canada," stated Mrs. Hustead. "Honolulu and Chekiang have asked for better business bureaus to be formed there. It is becoming an international organization." "Lincoln has 100 members in various sorts of business," exclaimed · Mrs. Hustead. "The most common complaints are complaints of advertising. Fair and dependable advertising pays.· When taking checks it pays to know the endorser or the owner of the check, because otherwise you are apt to receive checks which are not good. Several such incidents were told to the group. Discourteousness is taken up by members of the better business bureau, who shop in the stores and, if cases of discourtesy occur, notify their managers. "The mottoes of the better business bureau" stated Mrs. Hustead, "are 'Investigate before you invest' and 'Read before you 15ign' and 'Keep a copy'."
500 Bibles Requested About 500 New Testaments have been requested by students in Lincoln high. One was given to each teacher to show her home room. They are to be provided by the Gideons to those whose written requests were signed by the parents.

It will be held during Christmas vacation, Friday, December 27 in the boys gymnasium of Lincoln high. It is strictly a "date affair" and will begin at 8:00, continuing to 11:00. First on the program this week was Virginia Robertson playing a piano solo, "Stardu~t." Marjorie Reeve sang "White Christmas," accompanied by Beverly Thompson. Last on the entertainment list were the sponsors, Hugh Rangeler and Miss Inez Burnsworth. Mr. Rangeler, accompanied at the piano by Miss Burnworth, sang, "Mother Macree."

'Never Laid Eyes on a Mouse'··· This Quote From Ruth Ann Curtiss
Ruth Ann Curtiss is a character! Don't get me wrong, I mean she's a very unusual person, so original, and just bubbling with talk! We sat in the Advocate office last Thursday morning, with Ruth Ann gazing out the window, and at the same time, giving unique answers to the questions put before her . . . When asked what season most appealed to her, it was, "Well ... It's not summer, and it's not winter . .. What comes between summer and winter? .. . Oh! Spring!" She's also very much like the average "teener" when it comes to shows, football 'n' basketball games, skirts and sweaters, and the ever lovable bluejeans!

Pupils in Eugene P. Chevalier's French 3 classes are looking forward to the time when Mrs. Chevalier is coming to teach them some French Christmas songs. While awaiting her visit, students have been reading at sight the works of Victor Hugo. First aid taught in the army is somewhat different from that taught here in Lincoln high. This is what the pupils of· Carl Manthey's second period first aid class discovered when Bill Wright, who is teaching first aid in the army, spoke to them December 6. Bill also showed some instruments used in first aid.
Hay Ride Planned For Writers Club
The chorus classes under the direction of Miss Dorothea Gore are using new books to sing from instead of the customary slides. Folders containing information on education, government and other facts about Russia have been contrived by the students of Mrs. Lou McLean's second period world history classes. Maps showing the rivers, mountain ranges, cities, and seaports of Russia are included in the folders. Taking the place of Bernard Nevin and directing a few marches in second period band class is Paul Johnston. Paul may also direct the band at some of the basketball games. Practicing as student director, Paul may make it his life work.
Talents Displayed At Clef Meeting
Journalism Class Tours Star Plant A 400-paper per minute press gets the Lincoln Star to the people of the city in record time as seen by the first period newswriting class on Friday, December 6. This giant press puts out five editions a day st arting at 9:30 in the morning and ending at 6 :30 in the evening. Mrs. Merland Meisenbach conducted the tour through the office. A different man doing his own work explained his work or the machine he operates. The lineot ype machine was of special interest to the majority of the students. Watching the news coming in over the A ssociated Press wire was a thrill to some. A story of John L. Lewis was followed through.
Three Films Shown To English 8 Classes "That was like visiting a real n ewspaper office,'' d eclared a student just leaving from three movies shown to various newswriting classes. The first of the three films took the students to South America in the Agazzett news room, showing steps from the time the story was obtained until it came off the press in form of the paper. George Washington Carver's life was shown next in a short film on how he made a better south for the United States. The most important thing Mr. Carver did was to ex perime nt wit h the peanut and compose numerous articles. The last of the th ree films gave the students a hint of a reporter's life in journalism.

What she'.d much rather do is play the piano: Not for an audience, for although she enjoys performing on the flute, she gets very nervous when asked to doodle on the keyboard!

Four Boys Back That Saw Action In '45 Encounter Lincoln high will make its Initial home debut of the 1946-1947 cage season against the Omaha Central Eagles at the Whittier "maples" Friday night, December 13. Coach Weyand will have ba ck three and possibly four boys that saw action in last year's encounters with the Eagles at Omaha. Starting at center in la st year's fray was towering Bob Pierce, standing 6 feet 7 inches. The other two boys who saw some action were Dick Means, a second string forward, and Warren Dunn with a third combination. If Mel Knopp can shake his injury, that will round up the veterans of last season's games. At the Eagles' nest in Omaha, Coach Murphy has been blest with five veterans of last y ear's cage wars. The most outstanding is in Shea, guard for the metropolitan aggregatiOn. In last year's battle the Links romped home with an easy 44 to 16 victory, led by Duane Grady's flipping and Pierce's and Deffenbaugh's bank-board work. Grand Island Next. Rounding out the w eek end, Lincoln will face Grand Island at the Whittier gymnasium Saturday night, December 14. For the Islanders it will be the second appearance of the current cage campaign, after the .meeting with Central City. Up at Grand Island, six veterans reported for practice in Ray Lucht, Laverne Schafe r , Jerry Habig, Dale Toft, Bob Knickrehm and Don Ha ll. In last year's fray at Grand Island the Red and Black started out slowly, leading at the first period, 7 to 3. Slowly the Links picked up steam and forged ahead at the half 17 to 10. Playing an even second half the Capital Cit y lads humbled the Third City, 35 to 26. Bob Pierce turned in beautiful hoop playing and Bruce Berquist 13 took scoring honors with points. The Links will have the following schedule: Jan. 3-Scottsbluff, there. Jan. 4-Scottsbluff, there. Jan. 10-York, there. Jan. 17-0maha Tech, there. Jan. 18~0maha Central, there. Jan. 25-0maha South, here. Jan. 31,-Sioux City East, there. Feb. 1-Sioux City Central, there. Feb. 5-Northeast, Coliseum. Feb. 14---Abraham Lincoln, here. Feb. 15-Kearney, here. Feb. 21-Falls City, ,here. Feb. 22-Hastings, here. Feb. 28-Norfolk, there. The regional tournament will be held March 6, 7 and 8, while the state tournament will be on March 13, 14 and 15.
Swimming Team Worl\.s Very . Hard .
F orty boys have reported to swimming coach, Webb Emery, to try out for the swimming team. Webb has been putting his charges thr oug h calesthenics and swim drills for the past two weeks, and plans t o make a cut shortly; g iving team berths to about 20 to 25 tankers, for the first meet of . the season against Boys Tow n, January 9, at the coliseum. Webb will be shy of one of his best performers, Vaughn Hupper t , because of a heart murmur, but many boys trying out for the first time look very promising. This may offset the loss of a few lettermen. All boys out for driving should stay out. Emery said that he expected to have diving facilities as soon as possible. Boys out for divirig are Ronald Cerny, Neil Coffin, Marv H u d son, Gene Kingsbury, Dick Mayfield , Charles Smith and Jack Wynkoop: Lettermen are Ronald Cerney , Neil Coffin, Bill Greer, Tom Harley and Jim Martinez. Otthers boys out for the squad ·are Bill Bauman, Wendall Bauma n, Bob Bickert, Chuck Bolus, Kenneth Bolus, George Boome,r, Gene Brennan, Harry Burk ey, Bob Chase, Don Devries, Jim Dier, Ray Gartner, John Gradw ohl, Dick Gree r, Jack Greer, Bob Greiner, Harland Huppert, Paul Johnston, Stanley Leake, Jack Loudon, Gordon Luikhart , J e1·ry Marsh, Henery Meyer, Dave Moomaw, Tom Newman, Bob Phelps, Tom Schmitt~ Jerry Siegel, Karl Starch, Charles Thompson, Jum Woodworth, and Jack Wynkoop.

BY RON HARDT. T hree Lincoln high gridders were honored last Th ursday at the 12th E.n nual Co-operative clu b presentation for 'superior ath letics and sch olarship. An honor cer tificate w as received by Dick Phelps and football certificate$ w ere awarded Melvin Knopp and Don Etmund along with eigh t other capit ol cit y gridders. Coach Lyle Weyand's cagers will be gunning for victories number two and three · whert they meet Omaha Central Friday, December 13, and Grand Island on Saturday on home ma.pies. The Links dumped Nebraska City in the season opener, 51 to 26, and the Red a.nd Black seconds handed a Pioneer reserve team an imp1·essive 41 to 15 loss. Lincoln's height is on top of Bob Pierce's big feet, who measures 6 feet 7. Pierce, a senior, received all-state honors last year at ce nter for Links Missouri Valley an d state champ a ggrega tion, and took up where he left oww last year by meshing 13 markers against Nebraska City last Friday. The other tip-off man making the trip was Don H ergert,. second string center . Don palyed varsity ball last y ear, his sophomore yea r, but didn't ear n a letter. Don is an aggressive player and will probably see a lot of action t his y,ear.
DonEtmund Chosen on All-State Don Etmund , ce nter on Lincoln high's once bea ten football squad, was nam ed by Gregg McBride of the World Herald a s ce nter on t he All-State eleven which he ann ually picks with t he help of coaches a nd fans t hroughout t he state. McBride praised Etmund as being head and shoulders above .all centers in t he state. He tabbed him as "an excellent pa sser , cool defensive player and a lad who n ever failed t o deliver in t he pinches." Don was a regul ar last year and w as a key man in t he powerful Red a nd Black line both season s. He is a senior and weighs 155 pounds. According to McBrid e, two o ther Lin ks, just missed m aking t h e honor team . They are JY,1el K nopp, a scatback, and Merlin Wiltfang, a p ass- sna tching end. Knopp was beate n out of a backfield p osition by Rich Yost, Oma h a South st an dout, despite the fa ct that Lin coln held Yost pretty well in check in the South . game while Knop p play ed outstanding ball. Wiltfang w a s e dged out by Bill T himgan of Columbus, but o nly after t hey had w aged a spirited battle down to th e wire. Knopp and Wiltfang a r e b oth sen iors and this w as t heir last season of prep ball.

" We don't ha ve much trou ble with· opposing centers," said Lyle Weyand on Jack Hutson's and Hugh Bowen 's Coach's Corner radio broadcast from the Whit tier gy mn asium Thursday , December 5. Coach Weya nd said this because Lincoln p ossesses one of the tallest centers in the state, Bob Pierce, w ho says he is 6'6" but Weyand said it's nearer 6'7" and t he r e's the possibility of his ad ding another inch this year. Wh en asked of his college plan s, Pierce replied, " Haven't given it much thought." Dick Means, last year · let terman, said he felt there w as quite a bit of material. When question ed abou t how he liked being in the starting lineup, he a nswered, " All r ight , I guess." . Bob Good told something about the University of Nebraska team. He said t hey used a fast break . He also thought there were· seven ex-Lincoln high men on the tea m. Coach Weyand said, "Th e first five hav e quite a bit of experience. Pier ce w as a r egular, Means played a lot and started in a few games, Dunn was a squad member, and the Good boys a re transfers from Ind iana. He contin ued that if Mel Knopp was "all in one piece" h e woul d probably be in the fin;t fiv e. " Our schedule has 17 games. We've dropped one game wit h Omaha South and Omaha Tech and have no games with Crete. As the board of educat ion allow s 18 games in a regu lar season, w e may book one more game." To the question on w hich game besides the Northeast one would they be pointing for , Pierce said the Grand Island game. Means said it will be t he second home game, the first one bein g Friday the thirteenth again st Omaha Central and Sat urday the four teenth against Grand Isla nd.

The fourth period Monday, Wednesday and Friday sw imming class is learning the cr a wl. In t he third period Tuesday and T hursday floor class, the girls are playing paddle tennis. In some of t he other classes the girls are start ing t o play basketball, learning t he techniq ues of t he game. Afterschool ta p dancing and basketball classes started la.st week. More than fifty girls turned out for bask etball and about twen ty have come out for tap dancing. Any girl can still join either class and get cr edit . Members r eceive a half h our credit for each nine t imes they att end the classes.

Those who l earn to play well enou gh , ca n earn an emblem by playing on a class team .
Lin coln high opened its 1946- '47 bask etball slate w ith a handy 51.. 26 victory ov er ain outclassed Ne.. braska City quintet at Nebraska Cit y Fr iday n ight. The h igh scoring Link s took u p w here they left off last season whe n they finished unbeaten a nd went on t o capture t he state championship, Bill Thurman of Nebraska City dropped in the first backet. But that w as the P ioneers' last l:!id, as the Links, led by guar d Joe "Good and all-Stat er Bob P ierce, took a 12- 6 lead at the quarter. Good tallied five points the first quart er and Pi erce did lik ew ise during the second p eriod as the Red and Black rolled up a 23- 10 lead at half- time. Lincoln had too much height, speed a nd experience for the P ioneers, as L yle Weyand cleared the bench and used all twelve boys that m ade the trip. P lay was rou gh, as evidenced by the 27 fouls called durin g t he game. The brigtest spot in the smoothworking Lincoln machine was the outsta nding game turned in J Y Sophomore J oe Good. He not only n etted 10 points, but played bril .. liantly on defense as well, "Shorty" Pier cce l ed the Lincoln attack w ith 13 points, while Ralph Weddle, all-state end in football, sparked Nebraska pty with nine. Lincoln h igh r eserves contin ued their winning wa ys from last year as they romped over the Neb raska City reser v es 41-15. The Junior Links had too. much all- around class for the Citians and t he final outcome was never in doubt. L incoln

Familiar Sayings Again Remind Us of Christmas Merry Christmas; MerrJ' Christmas to all; Again we hear this familiar saying ringing in our ears. But why shouldn't we? Christmas isn't very far off. Everybody is getting into the spirit with the decorations down town, music and services of worship · in the. churches and other places, buying , and decorating the tree and pondering over the question of what to buy for relatives and friends. · This year with most articles apparent, a larger variety of items is being offered to the purchaser. In shopping one will find prices higher than usual. It isn't necessary to buy 'the most expensive merchandise for gifts you can possibly find, for it isn't a matter of how much you spend or how little, but the thought behind it in giving or re.,ceiving presents. The spirit must be great ;for real happiness. In olden times it was an "era of good will." Presents were not exchanged so · much. People went out carolling from door to door after which they sat around a yule ~-log where they sang more songs and had · private services. Christmas trees were not so common and even today some countries do not have the evergreen, adorned with ··trinkets, as a symbol of the Christmas time. - -Instead they furnish houses or churches with the characters of the Nativity being ··represented. But this is the present and not the past. We have our Christmas with Santa Claus for those children who believe, decorated trees, and presents for everybody. Worship . is given, each in one's own church, according to one's religion. On the outside we are happy and gay during this season, but un. derneath it all, one will find the truly religious Christmas spirit hidden in our hearts.
Tuberculosis May Attack You Any Time-Be Alert! Tuberculosis is dangerous, but also cur• able. It is a disease differing in many res- ' pects from the majority of infectious dis• eases. It was born with civilization and has grown with it. Poverty, war, the fight for e;id stence-all have contributed greatly to wide distribution of what was once considered the most common and fatal of human diseases. • This t errible disease hasn't any preference m whom it attacks. All ages, all races are attacked by tuberculosis. Famous men, known the world over, like Robert Louis St~ver_ison and Clwpin, were affected with t lus disease. In olrle n times n: -,.;,,o1.s :t dreaded disease which was thou~;ht hopeless I ies~ than a >c ,.,;,.:,r;:i tinn. ~ "' '·· it, "'?"' ·the ieading cause of .:.!.~E.th, Tvda.y bi-eat progress js being made ·in its cure and prevention. "What is being done in my community?" is a very common question. The answer is that in Lancaster county there is a local tuberculosis chapter which works closely with the state and national associations. These agencies help anyone who is faced with the TB problem. Also state sanitoriums are provided. Lincoln high school
will have ,chest x-rays for all the students whose·parents give consent, and for faculty members, made possible by use of the mobile x-ray unit of the state. It isn't the scientist's battle alone. You may, as an individual, help these less fortunate people and incidentally, help yourself, by buying your share of Christmas seals. This year the theme of the seal sale campaign is "Eradication of Tuberculosis." The seal itself shows an old man lighting a street lamp. He is bringing brightness to a small area. One person alone cannot establish light for the nation, but many, joining together, make light possible. In reality, many people buying Christmas seals will brighten the lives of those who have tuberculosis. They will receive new hope for their future. Your contr~bution is of great help, as all the money from the seal sale is spent to check TB and build better health; also to provide education for the prevention of TB. One never knows who niay be the next :victim. Prepare now, so it will not be you.

Greetings, all you people-and anyone else who might read this. If we sound as if we have marbles for brains, just remember we're having a time recovering from a week end of basketball games! Quite a few big deals were seen after these game's too. Fer Instance: Friday night Les Campbell dated Mary Alice Cummins, while Ed Weir and Tish Swanson were together. And Saturday night saw Marge Van Pelt and Pat Hinds with a couple of men whom they met at the Nebraska City game. Another twosome were Kayo Schwenker and Warren Dunn.

·Mental Poise and Assuranc~ Usually Show • • • In a Well Educated Person--George "/Jandol This being th') last column for this year,
we bring you a history of the Static column, or "20 years of joke ( ?) writing." (Laff here) . Back in 1926 when the first column came out, it was called "Edikrax" (we're still trying tO figure out what that meant!) Anyhoo-after five weeks they tried to stick the name Static on the column, and it seems to have "stuck." Here . are a few oldies dug out of past Advocates with a few small changes on some of them to bring them upto date: Starting back in 1926: - Our Fordized Santa Claus sings: "Oh it ain't gain to reindeer no more." Then there's the universal watchword"Tick." Songs: Trio Song-:;"Trio Clock in the Morning." Corn Song-"Stalk About My Sweetie." Corridor Song-"l'll Be Lovin' You, Hallways." Restaurant Song-"Show Me the Waiter Go Home."
1930 Joe: . Do you know he talks in his sleep? Moe: No. Joe: Well, it's true, he recited in class yesterday! (Joke, that is) Phyllis: Well, Dale, move your feet. Dale: Feet, nothing-yards!

And here's one for 1946 (unless you've already heard it!) The haughty senior girl sniffed disdainfully as the tiny freshman cut in. "And just why did you have to cut in when I was dancing?" she inquired hastily. The freshman hung his head with shame.
"I'm sorry ma'am," he said, "but I'm work. ing my way through college, and your partner was waving a five dollar bill at me."

Since t he holidays are not too far away we made some inquiries about what LHS guys and gals are giving each other for Christmas. Result$: Irene Gerlach: I'm giving Jimmy a soap bear with pink ears! And Fritzie Squyres says she's giving Bud a Dubarry Success Course. (Yuk Yuk !) We also hear Barb Buck expects a Cadillac convertible from Jerry Yowell. Um-m Sounds good! Then there's Mary Ann Day who wrote a letter to Allan Casari telling him what she got Chris and t hen, forgetting about it, let Chris read the letter. Some people are so bright! Jean Leadley: "An eight ball and a cue stick for Dick." (Poetic too!)
"Education has great value in later life," declared George Randol, w ell-known Negro musieian and actor who is now residing in Lincoln. "A person needs just as much education to meet the world, as a charming and inteiligent person as to be a scientist. The things that one's instructors try their hardest to ·impress on one's mind, though they seem un important at the time, are the vey things you find y ouself needing a nd using later on in life." He stressed that everyone should try to get as much as possible out of his education. Mr. Randol has studied all of h is life. Sub jects, such as Latin and m athematics, which many students consider useless, are, he believes, very important.I He does not t hink Latin a dead language, but a great help in learning other languages and when traveling. He sings in five languages and has traveled through En gland, France, Italy, and all through South America. "When in a foreign country, although you cannot learn the language in a few days merely bee. cause you know Latin, you are at least able to get an. idea .what is going on around you ," he said. That t he ·study of mathematics enables one to have a quick m ind

and is of great value t hroughout life is the opinion of this noted in di vid ual. He believes that a well educated person is a charmi~g persori, that education gives a person a cer tain mental poise and assurance w hich enables one to meet every situation. "In the theater I have seen many beautiful ' women, some, whom I have believed to be the most beautiful women in the world-until they open their mouths! Then they show their ignorance," he said. That, he believes, is why some women, although tpey are not beautiful, if they are well educated and charming, are the ones who achieve success in the world. Some examples Mr. Randol gave of this are Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and the Duchess of Windsor. They are char ming because they · are in·telligent, well· educated and poised. Mr. Randol h as appeared on the concert stage a nd in t he theater .on Broadway in "Green. Pastures" and "Porgy and· Bess." He also appeared in a musical. w ith Ethel Waters and, during his last two years in New York, in "Ann.a Lucasta." He h as m ade several concert tours through South America as well as the United States.

white 'Christmas. I like white Christmases because I can slide on the ice and t hrow snowballs and stuff. S ome people when we d on't have a white Christmas talk about how we sh ould love white Christmases, but when we have them, these people complain about how cold it is. These people are called pestimests. In school for Christmas we h ave a Christmas program when all ;he peopl e come t o hear t he students recite poems and sing a nd stuff. Sometimes there is a Christ ma s pl ay, but this year ther e is not, but we have instead of a play, refreshments and that is better anyway. In town t he peopl e decorate things all up with branches of evergreen tr ees a nd red and green lights and h olly and mistletoe. .There is a odd custom connected onto mistletoe but I won't ta ke time to tell abol't . it . In school we decorate thin gs ..n up with red and gree!'l paper and pictures. When Christmas come~ w e don't h ave no school, that is on e of 'the r easons why I like Christmas so good. One w eek o.fter Christmas comes New Yea rs. We usually are still out of school on New Years so I like New Years very much. New Year's day is a time when we. make resolut ions to do better which we seldom keep. Some people stay up late on New Year's eve to see the New Year in. Christmas usually comes on December 25. New Year's day is on Janu ar y 1, since New Year's day is exactly one w eek after Christmas they are on the same day.

Georgia School Education System lf1 itnessed By R. L. Fredstrom of Nebraska Wesleyan
Science Club Has Spealier
Observing the Georgia school education program in action was the purpose of a trip made ·~e cently. by R~ L. Fredstrom, director of teacher training and chairman of the department of teacher training at the Nebraska Wesleyan university, Thirty-five states were repr.~s ented at the national clinic on improvement of teachers education, held in Atlanta, Georgia. Four persons from each state, reproas_. enting white schools, plus two representatives from each state having Negro schools, attended. The first day the audience heard a discussion of the G eorgia program of education. Then ~he group broke up and visited various school sections ,.~ Georgia. Mr. Fredstrom went to West Georgia college, including both rural and town schools and seeing them in action. A special event was visiting the one-room, Oak Mountain school while it was in session. An article describing this orte-room school appeared in the October 12 issue of the Saturday Evening Post. "We discovered in the south that the speech is very different from ours and we almost f ell into the habit of talking in that slow and easy drawl,'' related Mr. Fredstrom. " The main election is the primary election, held in the spring, and since the south is mostly all democratic, it is mainly a matt.;r of nominating the right democr.~t. "We were most impressed by the way the Georgia education program touches the lives of the people in the community. In one
Dr. Donald M. Pace, chairman of the department of physiology and pharmacy at the Univeristy of Nebraska, spoke to t he science club Thursday a fter a regular business rr,eeting w as presided over by Clifford Berggren. Dr. Pace w as introduced by Mary lV'oomaw. The topic of. his ciiscussion was "Growth and Function of Living Cells." He described various cells in the human body as well as animal and plant cells, explai ning the division and development of them. "There are trillior.s of cells ' '1 our body," remarked Dr. P ace, "with the brain alone having 12 billion cells." Instead of more cells developing in the brain, these original cells merely grow. After his talk, Dr. Pace gave the members a chance to ask questions. A giant amoeba, which was placed in a special substance in order to slow down movem ent so it could be see n und er a microscope, was shown in conclusion.
section the people of that community, were interested in canning, so a cannery was built ~n the rural school yard and · the people were taught how to operate it. Housewives brought their foods to can. In another sectiun a co-operative mill was built by the school with persons to teach the running of the m ill. One rural scrool had a potato curing house, yams being an important crop, with yams stacked in cra tes and smoked, keeping the temper ature at ·80 degrees for six weeks. Then housewives took the yams home to store in their cellars. "We also had the experience o1 attempting to pick cotton," rel_a ted Mr. Fredstrom. "An average man picks about 150 pounds of cotton a day. An · expert picks about 200 pounds a day .and is paid 4 cents a pound. A bale weighs about 500 pounds and brings about 35 cents a pound, but the price of cotton is rapidly decreasing. A good yield would be about a bale an acre. The good cotton farmers pick their cotton fields three times. Practically ?.11 of the cotton "'is picked by hand, although a few wealthy farmers have machines, but these are very expensively." The tobacco fields · also stood out in Mr. Fredstrom's mind. "We saw the drying sheds and h ow the leaves were smoked." Recently Georgia voted a new constitution stating that all country tjistricts are t.(J be ruled by a county superintendent. Thus G eorgia does not have a ny schools with less than 25 pupils. In comparison, Nebraska has almost 3,000 schools with only 10 pupils. Georgia schools are given state aid, while Nebraska schools are run by local aid. One of the most interesting schools visited was the Holtville school in Holtv ille, Alabama. A
Quartet Presents Songs Before Masonic Group The boys quartet sang before a group of Masons, at the Masonic temple, at Twenty-seventh, and S streets, Friday, December 6. The numbers presented to t he group were: "Angels, We Have Heard On High," "Ashbey Delle Zooch," and "I Love a Parade."
Scene at School By Ginny Koch It was 28 straight wins for the Links up .till Saturday after a decided victory over Omaha Central Friday. Again Grand Island was the one to stop our winning streak- first in football and now basketball, but we still ·have a plenty good chance for the championship. After Friday's game cheer leader Pat Gaddis dated Bill Br owne (U. N.). Bob George and.,..Shirley Herpolsheimer also dated. Jane Meyers took in the dance at the Pow Wow club w ith Dick Lorenz and Nancy Stebbins was there with Bob Clark. To add a definite surprise to things Meg Loomis and Jack Bourke showed up together a t the dance. Speaking of surprises, how 'bout Mary Alice Cummins dating Dale Harp, exLinks, (drool) Thursday?? Christmas vespers will be given in assembly Friday. This is a serious program of Chr ist mas music given annually by both b oy s' and girls' glees, senior choir, and the octet.

IIn The Classes I Tag, dodgeball and relays are among the water games b eing played by Miss Helen Jo Miller's deep water swimming classes. In one game; a rubber ball is' thrown into the water and members of opposite teams swim and fight for the ball. Lester J ensen's physiology J classes have been making menus on what they eat on a school day. They have found out that most of them lack on proteir~ or fats. Most students eat too much candy, sundaes, or drink too ma ny "cokes."

citizen having helped in the establishment of this school was asked to comment on it. He answered by saying, " If I told you the t ru th you would think I was bragging and if I didn't tell you the trulh the.re would be no ,lDint in telling you about the· school." Twenty-five years ago, this man had sought to establish a commercial sch ool. The first thing accomplished was pu blishing a newspaper w hich brought ·n money and gave experience to both the bookkeeping and bank,. ing departments. The school became interested in plumbing and set up plumbing classes, actually working at plumbing jobs and building up the sian dard of ,lle communit y. A soil conservation project W'i:> set up. Becoming interested i~ refrigeration, the school est ablished a refrigeration unit. The school ow ns the town theator with the students running it after school under the direction of a teacher. For recreation the pupils built bow ling alleys in th~ir school gymnasium. They have a strong hom e economics department and auto mechanics department. Adequate dental care is taken care of by establishing a den1.ill clinic in the school. This remakable school has omy 500 pupils, 300 in high school an:J the remaining 200 1'n the grades. In one instance, Mr. Fredstrom told of a history teacher who ha d offered tb guide h is group around a particular sect ion of Georgt::i, but he had a history class to tea1~h . One teacher from Ohio offered lo teach it for him, but the sout hern teacher replied that he didn't think a nor therner could give the cor rect slant on t he period ;he class was studying, 'Vhich ha:Jp ened to be the reconst ruction period after the civil war.

Seventeen, he's been dancing almost as long as he has been walking. Well, not exactly- he was four when he began to be interested in tap dancing. The amazing part of it is that he's only been taking lessons for three ye;.rs. All tha t wonderful talent! No wonder he wants to be a profession al dancer . . . Doing stage work as a single. He grea tly admires Gene Kelly's technique, a nd while . he enjoys performing for an audience, (he says it's "better than dancing for a blank wall!") he admits that he. h as stage fright . . . Bu t this is only when he's standing in t h e wings, waiting for his cue to go onstage. Somehow; wh en he gets out "there" it all vanishes-a n d h e goes through his act with n ary a trace of n ervousness! Bud "gets a k ick" out of d oing "knee- drops," because e veryone thinks they're hard on his knees! Maybe n ot on his, but just let one of us try it- that's all! !! Another thing that is great fun, according to Bud, is being the "M.C." for a show . As far as he's concern ed , they're right when they sing "There's No Business Like Showbusiness!" . . . Once, while on a j ob with Johnny Cox , Bu d w as tol d he w as to dance in Beatrice, but c:in reach ing the destination, h e found himself in Ka~as! (Marysville, t o be exact.)

It will be full . speed ahead for the Links during the vacation festivities, as they prepare for a strong Scottsbl11ff "five" at the Bluffer's home court January 3 and 4. In the Red and Black camp, Bob Pierce and sophomore J•Je Good have been setting the pace, while Dick Means, Bob Hubbell, Bob Good, and Warren Dunn.have been turning in brilliant performances in practice. The Links suffered a severe blow in their hopes of duplicating last year's feat of state champions, as Coach Weyand announced Mel Knopp would be out for the cage season. Nine Bearcats Return. At the western Nebraska metropolis, nine letterman have 'reported for the hoop wars, including t wo starters against Lincoln at the Coliseum last year. With Ferguson and Sipp, both veterans of the tlouble-header last year, and lettermen Donohoe, Michalek, Nelson, Baumgartner, Smith and towering Biggers, a 6-foot, 5-inch center, the Bearcats wilbprobaoly be in top form after they m2tt Boy's Town December 26 and 27.

Starting out with · a baag, Scottsbluff found themselves on the long end ·of a 6 to 4 count at the first quarter. With two quick baskets by Pierce and Grady the ·L inks managed to scramble up a deadlock- at the half of 11 to .1, but after the third quarter score 17 to 17, the Red and Black put in their finishing kick · and drowned out .any hopes of a Scottsbluff · victo"t"y.

After picking up a 5 to 3 first period deficit, they forged ahead at the half 10 to 9. Both aggregations put on an exhibition of a pressing man-to-man defense to give Lincoln a 13 to 11 lead at the third canto. Again the Red and Black ·put on a final spurt to roll past ~he Bluffers 22 to 13 as Coach Weyand substituted freely. Pierce, Grady and Berquist took the scoring "plum", each counting five points.

It w as a tightly played game except for a few wild passing sprees a nd numerou s fouls in the final canto with both quintets trying desperately to outdo each . other in the scoring column; Only three lads were· able to connect with field goals for Lincoln during the 60 minutes fracas, and confussion reigned when ·Lincoln potted a field goal in . the wrong basket and the count went to the Islanders. ISLANDERS MATCH LINKS Play during the first half was even. T he strangers held a 15-12 edge over the Links after t he initial quarter and Coach Lyle Weyand's charges t ook a slight 20-18 l ead at half time. F or the most, the third q uarter found Aubrey Givens' boys retaliating every Red and Black score. LINCOLN GAINS SLIGHT EDGE Late in the t hird period, Dick Means and Bob Good got together and made the score board read 30-27, in favor of Lincoln, but G.I. got stubborn an d this slim lead wasted away, Going into the final standza, Grand Island kept u p the fight. With one minute and five seconds left to be played, a double foul was called. The crowd nearly brought the roof off the ov·e rcrowded gym down as Means came through with a free throw, but Dale Toft p o-tted a gratis toss for the visitors to tie the game at 34-all. THE SHOW MUST GO ON With seconds remaining, Bob Knickrehm, who had been giving the Links a bad tiine all night, meshed a neat tip-in that spelled victory 36-34 for the visitors . Grand ! $land pla yed v ery fine ball. Under the bank boards, they were fighting demon, and their floor play never wavered. Lincoln, trying in the worst way to . pat the game, coul dn't come through with the few needed points to turn the t ide.

Cage Team Introduced In Double Assembly With the. Lincoln high basketball season in full swing, the entire school body participated in t he assemblies, Friday morning, December 13. Opening th e assembly, H. C. Mardis, principal, brought out the point that the a ctivity 'ticket holders were fortun ate, as the Whitt ier gymnasium could hardly accommodate this group of students, much less p arents and out of town visitor s. L yl e Weyand was then introduced, who in turn, introduced the varsity basketball squad. Mr. Weyand concluded by expressing the fact t hat already Lincoln h igh is known throughout t he state as a potent team, ready this year to carry on where last year's squad left off.

Omaha North Takes First Lincoln high came through the seven rounds of the Missouri Valley boys debate tournament to place next to Nor th high who won the tournament. The team which gave North high's first team its only defeat was Keith Fitch and Forrest Mozer. North high was host to the three-day tournament beginning Thursday, January 9. Each of the eight schools entered two teams which met every other school at least once. On school achievement, Lincoln's two teams tied .for first place with Omaha Benson and North, each school having nine victories to its credit. The two Lincoln high teams were Keith Fitch-Forrest Mozer and John Gradwohl-Paul Gaiter. All schools and team members showed good spirit and sportsm anship· according to Miss Florence Jenkins, Lincoln high coach. The eight schools of the valley tournaments are Omaha South, North, Central, Technical, Benson and Creighton P rep, Abraham Lincoln of Council Bluffs and Lincoln high. There will be one more Missouri Valley debate in this series which is an open tournam ent. This will be February 12, 13 and 14.
Assembly Seen By L.H.S. Girls As a r eminder of Nurses Recruitment week, an assembly for girls was presented January 8. Two student nurses and a nurse aide f rom Lincoln General hospital were introduced by Susan Kimball, chairman of the hygiene class. · Miss Mary Jo Renken, a senior student of nursing, said that a girl must b e in the upper one-fourth of h er class in high school to be eligible for nurses training. There is no requirement for a college education n ow, although it is an advantage to the student. Upon entering training, the girl pays $365 for books, t uition, board, room, cape f ree and such items. She m ust also pay :for all her other expenses out of her own allowance.

Also merchandise mathematics and information (a course with specialized projects in which <:?ach pupil works ·in fields directly conn ected with his particular inter~t) are ta11ght. Miss Hubbard is the teacher of these sales and merchandise classes. At noon, seniors are dismissed to work downtown in "co-operative placement," an arrangement whereby the student does his laboratory w ork in a store and receives both school credit and wages. Miss Hubbard's class r oom, 101, is most interesting, with displays of goods arranged both in window cases and on counters, by her sales 3 class. When asked what the field of opportunity is for salesmanship, Miss Hubbard replied, "This year more than ever, a greater number of excellent selling positions are open to young trained students, especially during the winter season. Following surveys done among the mer chants here in Lincoln, I'm convinced that the demand for qualified persons is far greater than the supply. Out of 50 students enrolled in this course, 35 are now employed downtown. I'll not be at all surprised to see the best st1,1dents making splendid progress in m any fields r apidly. Perhaps t hree of the outstanding qualities for advancement in this field ar e-enthusiasm, initiative and diligence."

.M any L.H.S. Teachers and Pupils Take Trips In Christmas Vacation Spending the holiday season in various parts of the country were many Lincoln high school students and teachers. Among t he more distant trips was that take:i by Miss Elsie English who t:aveled to Hibbing, Minnesota, where the temperature ventured to 34 degrees below zero. At the time t hat she went out for h er Christmas dinner it was 20 below, b ut says Miss English, "I wasn't half so cold there as I was i n Omaha. I almost froze there." Visiting their h ome town s in Illinois were seniors, Ferne Tracy who traveled to Elgin, and. Rita Gibbons, who went to Chicago. Also spending her vacation in Chicago was Miss Mildred Kemp. While t here, she attended t he play, "Harvey," with Joe E. Brown, and saw Sonja Henie in the "Icecapades." She remarked, "It was a lovely vacation and the best time I've had in years." Another teacher who spent her vacation in Chicago was Mrs. Frances Rein who was heard to say, " I was tired when I left but I was even more tired when I came back." · Enjoying a quiet Christmas with her sister 1n York was Mrs. Emogene Moor who remarked, "This
Council Picl{s New Cover Handbook Revision Well Under Way To accept the cover of the latest handbook, published in 1942- '43, with t he exception of adding 194'7 on t he letter L, was the decision at the student council meeting January 8.· Co-chairmen Robert Hinds and Fern Egger r eported the handbook was ready for H. C. Mardis, principal, to check last Friday. To have a hall guide at the f ront door dur ing all periods to direct visitors was suggested. As it is now, a student is station eO. there only during third period. The hall guides and hall guards for n ext semester are being arranged now. Students who would like ·to serve as either hall guard or hall guide should see Miss Mildred Kemp. A suggestion given to t he cou ncil that · a special stand be set aside in the cafeteria to sell only milk, sandwiches and candy bars was dropped for the time being when Mrs. Hilda Kargo, head of the cafetria, said it would benefit mostly the pupils who brought their lunches and they have been found to be mostly responsible for the milk cartons left on the t ables. Another hindran ce is the fact that at least one or two more persons must be employed by the cafeteria at the rate of fifty cents per hour. Committee r eports w er e given at t he previous meeting. Officers will be elected at the next meeting. Also a discussion on a J oy Night theme will be held.

Goi'ng to Louisiana were seniors, Jean Steven and Ed Weir. Mary Margaret Loomis was the guest of Joan Culver in Topeka, Kansas. To Chicago and St. Louis went Carolyn Schwenker. Also seeing the sights of Chicago was Beverly Anderson. Gerry Meyer spent the holiday in Fr emont, Nebraska, while Roberta Seidel, Ardith Goldsmith and Geraldine Hermann spent part of their vacation in Seward. Traveling to sunny southern California for New Year s? day was Miss Gertrude Jones. While there, Miss Jones toured the naval testing station where new types of rockets are tested. A guest of Sally Herminghaus over Christmas holiday was Connie Conway of York. Later Carol Harris, with Sally, r eturned the visit. The art exhibit of Ruth Thomprett, a former Omaha North· teacher, was attended by Miss Gladys Dana and Miss Helen Wilson in Omaha.. Miss Bessie Fisher, an English teacher, flew to San Francisco, California, to visit her niece during the Christmas holidays. She said the weather was beautiful for flying until she reached San Francisco where the fog was so thick you could cut it. She r eturned to Lincoln on the San Fr ancisco Challenger January 4.

Upmost to All Students ls Good Sportsmanship School games are won by good players and goocl sports. Those who aren't players on the school's team can still be good sports on the sidelines! Don't try to be a one-man cheering section. The captain and teammates of our school's basketball team are more likely to hear a hundred voices yelling "Yea Team", than your solo of praise. · Our six cheerleaders have practiced and have been trained for their jobs. They know the time to yell and the time to keep still. Look and listen for their instructions and then follow the signals given by the cheerleaders. Learn all of the school's new songs and yells. A mixture of words and phrases isn't a cheer, no matter how loud you yell it. The coach knows his business. Your trying to run the game from the sidelines is like being the ever-talked-about "typewriter" general in fighting a war. The coach and team are on the floor; working together to win the game. Let them do it! Have you ever read a basketball manual? If so, you needn't quote it to your neighbor page by page, but you will understand and enjoy the game better. Congratulate the winner! It's fine for you to want to win, but remember even the best team must Jose sometimes. Play for the fun of the game as well as for the score. And be satisfied to play only your part of the game. A team that works together as a unit is more likely to win than group of all-stars, each tl"Y!ng to steal the show. ___ ..-···-·--~ _ . ----·- ~~ . . -~

Has Studied Art Since Sixth Grade
To the E ditor : All the h ustle a nd excitement of J oy Night isn't very far away. Tryouts are g0ing to b e h eld soon and those who wish to try ·out are going to have to st&rt working on their act. It has been tlie policy, in past year s, to hold tryouts and then p ublicly announ ce the t heme of Joy Night. This causes a great de al of confusion b eca use for those who w or ked on an act for a " Rainy Night in Rio," it 's dou ble work to shift plans and revise costumes for a tbieme such as an abnormal afternoon jn Alaska! Why w ouldn't it be possible for the committee who decides on the t heme t o decide on it before tryouts, and announce it befor e tryouts? In th is way it w ould be possible for t hose who want t o participate to plan their act around t he t heme and cut out this waste of t ime, energy and money. WINIFRED DAVIDSON.
Elizabeth L amb, a former student of Lincoln high now 'a senior of Nebraska u n iversity's art college, always liked to draw, but was fi rst really interested in art in t he sixth grade. She has taken art work in Everett junior h igh from Miss Mabel Souther , and in Lincoln high f rom both Miss Gladys Dana and Miss Helen Wilson. Also she has r eceived scholarships to the university art classes f rom t he seventh grade through twelfth grade.

Helpful Helen, Hospital Aide, . Relates Duties To understand fully the work of hospital aides would b e to follow the work of Helpful Helen during one evening at the hospital. When Helen arrives at the nu rses' _h ome, she changes from .her sweater a nd skirt in to a fresh, clean, wash dr ess. After checking in, she proceeds t h rough the t unnel t o the h ospital. Upon her a rrival at t he hospital at 4:00, Helen r eports her p resence to t he head nurse, who in turn puts h er t o work. Usually the work consists of ans wering t he patient's ligh ts. Many times, however, it mean s finishing passing out wash w at er to t he patients. At 5:00 comes the supper hou rs. Helen likes this hour the best. Carrying trays to t he p atient's r ooms helps her to come in contact w ith the m any unusual and fascinating occupants of t he hospital. Helen particularly enj oys the male p atients on her floor , for their enter tainin g bits of humor and their fascinating perso.nalities. After Helen r eturns from her supper, she helps with t he evening cares. T hese consist of a back-ru~getting fresh ice water for t he night, and almost a nything that w ould make the patient comfortable. Often times Helen has come in contact wit!].· fat hers, m other s and nearly every imaginable kind of relative of Lincoln high pupils. Helen thoroughly enjoys her work and says t hat it has been w onderful experience for h er.
scholastic contests she h as received various awards. She plans to go on with her art work after g r adu atioJ 'in a noncommercial way. Miss Lamb says this for young hopeful artists, "Draw const antly . and sketch anything you see. Study differen t t extures in art work a nd also consider composi-tion.

In "FA'iendly Persuasion" b y Jessamyn West, t he simple and good, life of the New Englan d Quakers is plainly illu strated by the everyday incidents i n the lives of Jess Birdwell, n urseryman; Eliza, his Quaker minister wife, and their happy children . What h appens w hen J ess, a gainst his wife's Quak er principles, hauls an organ to the farm in the lumber wagon, provides for one of the many amusing incidents of this book. And when Samantha, Eliza's pet goose, wanders to the yard of n eighb ors and is claimed b y them, t he w hole family has a problem on its hands. The author creates a book to be enjoyed by young and old alike, with its common and lovable characters and their humorous as well as serious doings. I n " The Silver Inkwell" by Phyllis A. Whitney, Lynn Sheridan, a young writer, works h ard t o prove t hat she is capable of turning out good work. However, like too m any, she pays nq a t tention to a dvice given her by other famous authors.

that to write a good story, one should choose a subject well known to him. L ynn finally finds her answer i n the neighborhood clubs formed for tenement children whose paren ts are gone much of the time, and through her own efforts and struggling is rewarded at last when a company a ccepts her story and she receives her first check which, undoubtedly, leads to many more. "Captain F.rom Castille" by S amuel Shellabarger is the stir ring story of love and a dventure in colorful Spanish style.

What happens when h e finds Catana there is the climax of t he story. T,he portrayal of gay romantical love scenes, colorful dress of the people, exciting methods of living and the cruel and unjust treat.ment given P edro's family all play an important part in making this book one to arouse the i nterest of a ll.

With Bob Pierce carrying the brunt of the scoring load, Lincoln high's in and out cagers were definitely in Friday night as they awamped York, 42-29, at York. The result was never in doubt :from the opening jump ball which Dick Means took and dashed in to pot the first field goal of the evening to the final gun. Lincoln used their height to advantage and controlled the ball under both baskets.. YMk· Holds Score Down. However, a basket by Joe Morgan and a free throw by Kenny Nordlund held the score to 7-3, Lincoln, .at the end of the first quarter. The second canto was a nightmare for the Dukes, as Pierce proved he is out to retain his all-state rating of last year. The towering center hit four field goals and a free throw for nine points this period. There was no stopping him or his mates as the Links ran the count to 20-8 at the half. The third quarter was a repetition of the second, as Pierce, Means, Bob Good and Johnny Moore kept hitting to give the Red and Black a 35-13 lead going inoo the last stanza. Dukes Outscore Links Last Period. For the first time, the Dukes were. able to muster enough· scoring punch to play the Links on better than even terms. They scored lG points during the last period while the taller Lincoln quintet hit for seven. Piei·ce ran away with the scoring bc:>r~ors, chalking up 20 _to run bk.total for the last two games to 41. Kenny Nordlund and Jim Ellis, York's two regulars from last year, played outstanding ball, but lacked assistance. Ellis claimed 11 points and Nordlund eight. The summary: Lincoln fg B. Good f .2 J.

Jr. Linlis Chalk Up 3 lst Straight Win A powerful Lincoln·· high reserve quintet hung up victory number four by downing Beaver Crossing,· 41-29, there, Monday, January 6. The result was never in doubt as Lessman and Jacobs led the Junior Links with 11 and 8 points respectively. Wilson and M. Harter were outstanding for Beaver Crossing and gave .the reserves plenty of trouble. Harter was high scorer for the game with 12 tallies while Wilson chalked up 10 points.Racking up their thirty-first straight win in the past three seasons, the Junior Links suffered their last defeat in 1945 when they lost a close game to Greenwood by the score of 30 to 32. The highlight of this year's campaign is expected to be their tussie with Northeast reserves. They won last year's game 37 to 34. The teams the Junior Links have defeated in racking up this unusual string of victories are, in 1945 after their defeat by Greenwood, Dorchester, Waverly; Alvo, Cathedral, Grehner, Northeast reserves, Teachers; in 1946, Nebraska City reserves, two from Cathedral, Beaver Crossing, Wymore, Hildreth (last year's class D champs),

Lincoln high's barnstorming cagers will resume their antics as they trek to Omaha to face the Omaha Tech Maroons F;riday night,· January 17. After a downhill slump of two successive defeats to Grand Island, 36-34 and Scottsbluff, 58-27, Coach Lyle Weyand revamped his starting lineup and inserted a combination of Bob Good, Bob Hubbell, Bob Pierce, Dick Meaans and John Moore, and this "five" proved to be the classiest as .Lincoln rebounded from its trampling received from the Bluffers to route the same team 52-28. Also it won handily from York 42-29. In this new quintet Coach Weyand has defense plus with John Moore and Bob Hubbell. Then for offensive power he has the other three boys. The York-Linc o 1 n affair brougth up more troubles as it showed lack of reserves' ability to score. This will probably be the main factor in practice before they travel to the Douglas county metropolis. Tech Loaded With Veterans Up in the first city, the Maroons have four seasoned veterans back from last year. Leading these are Bud Gibbons, a member of the Omaha Intercity all-star team, with Jellsey, Benscoter and Payton rounding out the group, while freshman Ray Novak has been one of the mainstays during the current cage season. In their initial f.ray with Tech last year, the Links pushed to a 12-7 first canto lead and stretched it to a 23-10 halftime score behind Bruce· Berquist and Jack Deffenbaugh who combined to total 17 of the 23 counters. The last period was a repetition of the first, as they coasted to a 41-30 win, using substitutes frequently. Bob Pierce showed much improvement as he .shoved eight points through the hoop, ·
BY RON HARDT Sports scribes out in the panhandle were giving the "good" word that the Links, after dropping number one of a twin bill with Scottsbluff, might as well have headed for their hotel rooms after the intermission. Scottsbluff did play a fine game, it beat the Links 58 to 27. What do these boys have to .say on Lincoln's 52 to 28 triumph o:ver the Bearcats the following eve? Look for a battle royal when Lincoln and Northeast bump heads at the Coliseum Feb. 5. T~e Rockets are undefeated as yet .and are always good for a. battle with old L. H. s. Lincoln's next game won't be until Jan. 25, when it ' meets Omaha South, at bleachers row, Whittier. The Red and Black tank crew has come a long way since Coach ·warren Emery ·took over. Emery started last year, working up a team with no experience. Swimming had been at a standstill since before the war here and now we can boast a pretty prom1smg squad. Last Thursday, Emery's charges .had their first meet of the season and a strong Omaha athletic club crew had to go all the way to beat them. Lincoln's 6 foot, 7 all-state center, Bob Pierce, is currently leading the field in total individual points for· the city. Bob, a senior, is always good ·for quite a few rebounds too. Behind Bob is Dick Means. Dick, who is a returnee from last year's state champ and Mo-Valley champ team, plays either guard or forward and has a good accuracy percentage.

eight first places in the meet was not enough for the hard fighting Lincoln mermen as they dropped their first meet of the season to the highly favored American Legion club of Omaha by the score of 36 to 30 at the Lincoln pool Thursday evening. The big handicap for the Links was their inability to score second and third places. Big gun in the Lincoln crew was Tom Harley who scored a first in the 40 yard free style and sparked the medley relay team to victory. · Neil Coffin, Lincoln diver, scored a victory in the diving by nosing out Ed Craran. Craran won the diving in the state meet this year.

George Wilcox,'46, Stationed, in Korea,
Writes of Life in Unusual Country News from Kwang Ju, Korea, arrived recently in a letter from former Advoc;ate staff member, Pfc. George Wilcox, '46. George is now stationed in Kwang Ju, about 130 miles from Seoul, the capitol of Korea. Curtis Weatherhogg i'S now stationed in Osaka, Japan and Ed Carter, at present working in a radio station in the extreme southern tip of Japan. A number of other '46 graduates, such as Bill Wilson, John Reitter and Leonard .ltebensdorf, are also stationed in Korea, but are widely separated because of poor transportation facilities. According to George, "When it comes to Korean transportation a person has a pick of cart, antiquated railway or what have you." And, writes Pfc. Wilcox, an officer is the only one benefiting from army transportation. Oeorge stated that he and most of the others stationed there, agree that Korea deserves more publicity in the United States' papers than it has been getting. Riots are going on with Communist propaganda stirring people against American occupational forces. Mentioning it in American papers would probably help in making the people realize there are other troubles in the world than just the price of butter, was his opinion. There is an acute: shortage of the simplest luxurks and entertainment 'in Kwang Tu. Butter is available, but no toilet articles such as comb'S, hair oil, shaving soap or soap of any kind. "Cokes"
can be had, but ice cream is un• heard of. No regular· U.~.O. shows had reached Kwang Ju and the mov· ing pictures are similar to the cheap, modern horse opera type. A result of his Advocate experience put George on the ship's paper staff in charge of the news department, while on the overseas trip. He wrote, "Being on the ship's paper is known as a good deal since there was no K. P. or de.. tail of any kind and one had complete run of the ship,"

"Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God hath given thee" was the text of the senior sermon delivered by Dr. Arthur L. Miller, minister of the First Presbyterian churc~. Sunday, January 19. Dr. Miller opened the services by paying tribute to the graduating class by saying, " I am very glad to have the members of the graduating class of this winter term at Lincoln high school present for our service this morning. I plan to think about the fifth commandment which deals specifically with the problem of the .relationship of a young person to his parents. This commandment applies to all of us, because it involves everyone. It has special significance for those who are still young." Home Is Fundamental "The first ·f our commandments," he continued, " deal with man and his relationship to God. The fifth commandment deals specically with the relationship within the home. Th<i Bible recognizes that the home is the fundamental institution of life. Most of the tragedies as well as most of the triumphs of life center in the experiences of the home. Ther efore, when the great word was given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai, there was included this very practical commandment, "Honor t hy father and thy mother." He said that certain questions immediately arise in the mind of a young person when he hears this commandment. Not all p arents are worthy of honor. We know th.at this is true as we read the Bible, and we realize that it is true when we look out at life in the world about us. People do not become perfect just because they happen to have children, and very often they are unworthy of
According to a survey of January seniors, 25 students of the graduating class intend to continue school at the Nebraska university. Jack Andrews, Robert Askey, Don Benson, Robert Burns, May.;. nard Cheuvront, William Clore, Norma Fischer; Frank Gorton, William Hahn, Joyce Jeannoutot, Knox Jones, Ord Jones, Vincent Goeres, Shirley Guelker, Marvin Livingston, Lloyd Luedtke, Myra Lofink, Stanley Miller, Duane Olson, Bob Packard, Pat Perkins, Mary Ann Pierce, Freddie Powell, Robbie Powell, Bob Stine and Walter Weiland compose this group. Although there are many seniors planning to continue with their education, there are several who hope to work upon graduating; They are Evelyn Pochop, Florence Reitz, Marcia Snow, Shirley Standley, John Leland Weller, Elaine Winter, Bob Hauek, Bernard Hoschele, Fern Ankeny, Howard Dale Bayer, Lola Bean, Gerald Carter, Maxine DeLett, Pearl Fritts, Willard Goeschel, Marvin Livingston and Pat Perkins. · John Emmett Baker plans to join the navy in California.

Appreciation was expressed for the thank-offering to the national children's fund of the Red Cross in a recent letter received from Mrs. John Groth, chairman of the Junior Red Cross of the L ancaster county chapter. It also gave information on how these funds are being expended throughout the world. · Educational and health chests containing nineteen items were sent. Each w as valued at $7.50. Seven thousand medical chests also were sent, which included emergency m edical needs for 400 children for· a three-month period. Three hundred and eighty-five thousand pounds of candy wer e sent, but not as a luxury item, as we would consider in this country, but especially for its nutrition value for the benefit of undernourished children of foreign lands . affected by the devastation of war. Five thousand dollars were spent for the purchase of toys, books and recreation for the children of service men being returned to America by the United States army. Much of this fund went toward the equipping of nurser ies aboard all ships being used for t hat · purpose. Ten thousand pairs of children's shoes for Poland and Austria,. 300,000 bars of soap for children of Czechoslovakia and Poland, 2,530 gallons of cod liver oil, 200,000 tooth brushes 16,500 garden tools and seeds, 52,000 p ounds of dried milk and thousands of other items such as· toys, lap robes, writing tablets, and lead pencils, were among the articles sent. One of the finest responses in the midwestern area was that of the Junior Red Cross members. The $1,200 ,contributed also shows an increase'·{)ver the $1,100 contributed to the fund in 1945.

Air Travel Becoming More Popular For Nebraskans, Relates R. B. Heilig Air travel is becoming more and more popular among the people of Nebraska, declared Robert B. Heilig, owner and instructor of t he Nebraska a ir service company in Broken Bow , Nebraska. There is steady demand by the public for special chartered planes. "My main and mdst important job at the field,'' Mr. H eilig went on, "is instructing enrolled students from towns around and in Broken Bow. The age limit, if the individual is working for a private license, is 16. For v arious other licenses, the age limit varies. It require.s from eight t o ten weeks t o solo, a ccording t o the ability and readin e.ss of the student to learn and feel sure of all instructions. "Along with instructing I have a contract with the Nebraska Dusting Company for crop-dusting. This sort of flying is usually done during t he summer months, because of better flying weather and crops being ready then. Farmers make arrangewi th the dusting company and my flyers and I dust the areas under contract. Crop-dusting has proved
v ery successful, according t o re• ports from farmers who h ave had good crops free from insect dan• gers." The popular Piper Cub plane with the Stenson Air Coupe, a three-seated cross country plane and the one used in charters, ar e the planes used at Mr. Heilig's airport. Out-of-state stopovers ar e few at his airport, except for plane trouble or refueling. There is a greater number of interstate stopovers. A mechanic is provided for any one of these occurrences. "I de:Qnitely believe that my opening of the Nebraska AirService in Broken Bow brought a very much needed addition. It is giving t he adults as well as the younger people a chance t o learn more about aviation. They seem pleased and take advantage of all instruction and rides given.

A code for better living! A code that

will enable one to grasp the better and more prosperous things in this life of ours! Christian D. Larson is the author of ten tenets which express better living qualities. Promise yourself-To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the sue. cess of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes .of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. By practicing and fulfilling tltese tenets you will make a better person to live with and will find yourself with many more happy and congenial friends.
Semester EndsJupils See Clean Slates Ahead Time has come to say so long to the first semester. Today marks the end of those final t ests that were so uppermost in your minds during the past week. For those of you who studied all semester long, they weren't so very hard. But, ah yes, for those pupils who applauded themselves for never taking a book home, if they expected to receive a good mark, there was plenty of cramming to do. Maybe this explains why they have been looking droopy and tired lately. Next semester a clean slate is set before you. What you make of it is naturally your , own business. Yes, it is your business in a sense, but keep in mind that if you want to be a success in later life you have to apply yourself now. You don't get things by wishing. · Also with the ending of the semester, certain faces throughout the halls will leave us with a fond good-by. For you see, these pupils are J anuary seniors. They leave to take up further studies for their vocational choice at universities, or to seek employment.
Hobbies Provide One With Relaxation and Amusement What is your h obby? Oh come now, everybody should have a hobby. They are fascinating and provide r elaxation in your spare moments. Hobby clubs are even organized. In Lincoln high, a few years ago, such an organization was adopted, but was later dropped. , . If a~i :ve part is taken in sports, it is con-:'.':'.::._red your hobby. Hobbies also provide educational value. For iestance, building model airplanes may enable :,'ou to get the fundamental principal of. them, so that some day you may be designing your own. Collecting stamps is one of the maily common hobbies of high school pupi~ s. It provides interesting facts of how stamps are originated and the different types of each country. For older men, the basement work shop is very common. Here they turn out all kinds of useful knick-knacks. Maybe your dad or uncle owns one of these shops. Whatever you like best, turn it into a hobby. Really and· truly they are lots of fun!

Here's a cute one-(at least we think so )-by the courtesy of Mimsi Hicks. A G I was dri~ng a truck along a narrow road in Burma when he came across an elephant squatting in his path. He requested the elephant to move, which the beast did, very graciously. He drove on a bit farther and came upon a second elephant whom he also asked to move. But this beast refused point blank. The G I told him he had no such trouble with the other elephant up the road. At this the second elephant got up in disgust. "Aw" he said, "that other bum has gone and spoiled everything. We were playing book ends !"

Need of Trained Chemists Exists
A shortage of trained chemists exists at the present time, according to C. S. Hamilton, professor of chemistry at the University of Nebraska. Very few chemists were trained during the beginning of the war . "To obtain a good job in ·this field one must have either a bachelor's, master's or a doctor of philosophy degree. "The bachelor degree calls for four years of college work majoring in chemistry. Nebraska gives a basic course in chemistry. After an additional year of specialized work in chemistry, a master's degree, may be obtained. A doctor of philosophy degree requires two more years of specialized training after the master's degree," he explained. When asked what subjects should be taken in high school, Dr. Hamilton replied that English, Gern:ian or French (preferably German), mathematics including at least two years of algebra and one year of geometry, high school physics and, if desired, chemistry should be taken. "At the present time, a man with a bachelor's degree can get a starting salary of $225 a month; one with a master's, $275 and one with a P h .D., $350," he said. Chances are not very bright for women in the field of chemistry, w ent on Dr. Hamilton. During the w ar, women were employed in laboratories, although before the war there were not many in industrial chemistry. " Industrial concerns will again," explained Dr. Hamilton, "give preferen ce to men just as soon as they are available." Industries feel that women are too apt to get married after the company has spent money teaching them the particular work done in that industry. This would re-
sult in a loss of money. Also if women are injured in the laboratory, they are apt to demand a great deal of money, more than a man would ask. Women are also abserit from work more. Also men don't want women working with them in the laboratory. Women may go into nutrition laboratories or become m.e dical technicians. If a student is a good chemist, the department tries to get him a position. Personnel men frbm different companies interview men about to take degrees and select chemists from those interviewed. Most chemists from Nebraska go to 'Chicago or places east. There is no- lack of jobs and a good chemist can always find one.
Humphrey Schmatz Receives Most Wanted Gift oj All Susie Schmatz, Humphrey's third cousin by marriage, is trying to decide what to €iet Huinphrey for his birthday which is, incidentally, the second Tuesday of the fifth week of January. He got two new boxes of rub.her bands for Christmas, so he wouldn't want any more of these for a while. What a problem! Do you suppose-oh no! That would be too much to hope for! Humphrey just couldn't go so far as to appreciate something educational, so comic books are outof the question too. Wait!

Beverly Adams: To Hollywood to see Dennis Morgan! (What would his wife say, Bev? ) Gloria Spomer: San Diego, California. (Then she gave me a shy, or sly, look). J im Geist: To bed and sleep! (Now there's a ·brilliant answer, if I ever heard one!) Shirley Schiebinger: To Arabia to see the Arabian Nights! (Walking. isn't crowded, Shirley.) , Florence Rhodes: Eugene, Oregon. No special reason. (Do you need a reason, "Flo"?) Jim Cook: Fort Dodge, Iowa. Ah yes, the people you meet on trains. (What trains; Jim, or what people, hmmm?) Sharlot Mauer: Scottsbluff, of course!! There are things (and people) tha:t need straightening out! (People or Person, Sharlot?) Marian Hausner: Korea, where it's Chilly. (Is that a fact, Marian?) Dick Shonerd: On her front porch!

Deft hands, chemistry, and a knowledge of design are the main requirements for a good potter declared Mrs. S. J. F ieselman speaking to the members of the art club on ceramics, Monday, January 13. "Tools are important aids for detail work," she said, "but they are not n ecessary." · Three types of clay are commonly us.ed in modeling Mr s, Frieselman explained. The most common types are buff and red which is .found everywhere, while white is t he rarest. "All clay comes in powder form," she said. "It is then kneaded until it is so smooth that no a ir bubbles are left. If any air bubbles remain in it, the clay will expand and break when fired in a kiln." Specializing in pins and earrings, Mrs. Frieselman brought -several examples of her work. She also had with her some figures and ornaments which she has m ade.

Intramural basketball finished its first semester schedule Friday as the Rams clinched the league championship with a 23-11 win over a fighting Redskin outfit. The two teams fought on even terms the first half, but the hot paced proved too much for the Redskins, as the Rams hit from all angles and played a good floor game. The Rams finished with nine wins against one loss. The only defeat to mar their record was a 11-20 affair which the Dodgers hung on the champions. This was the major upset of league play and about the only glory that the Dodgers salvaged as they finished mired in a tie for eighth place. The Bisons, whO' finished second with a record of eight wins and two losses, and Packers, who wound up in third position, appeared to be the class of the league along with the Rams. But any of the teams were able to play good ball, as evidenced . by the fact that no quintet was able to go through undefeated.
BY RON HARDT Lincoln has a clean slate in MoValley conference play to dat e, with two wins over Omaha Central and a victory over the Omaha Tech Maroons. Incidentally, during the double encounter at Omaha last weekend, the Links' three top scorers accounted for 30 of 40 points against 0 Tech and 40 of 47 points against 0. eCntral. Dick Means set the pace for the trio with 18 points on Friday night 'a nd 12 on Saturday night, while Bob Pierce came through with 9 and 14 and Bob Good got 6_ and 14. Some of the state high school scores throughout the week:

If it is, they sure get around. Take a reading on Oklahoma and K-State. Come time for warm weather sports and Lincoln will be there. The track squad could be made up of a lot of lettermen from last year's Mo-Valley champion squad. . The aspects are the same for baseball, golf and tennis. None of the above mentioned have started on drills but when the time comes, there should be much for promises. Coach Bill Pfeiff has charge of the thinclads, while Chuck Worrall will be t rying to form another state champ baseball team and Max Pumphrey's golf and tennis teams will try to cop another state meet as well as ·MoValley laurels.

The council urges students interested in Joy Night to prepare their acts so they may be ready for the try-outs to be held soon.
Movies Showing At Lunch Hour Noon movies started Tuesday, February 4, in the auditorium under the direction of A. B. Cavett a:nd Miss Gertrude Jones, with George Turner assisting them. "Pupils have expressed a desire," states H. C. Ma rdis, "for movies on travel, sports, comedy, cartoon, etc." Movies were chosen by the noon student recreation committee from a University of Nebraska film. list. The films are from 10 to 15 minutes long so a·s to enable pupils to see the whole movie before having to resume their classes.
Preparations are now underway for the Valentine Hi-Spot party planned for- Friday, February 7, by the program committee under the chairmanship of Shirley Herpolsheimer of the central Hi-Spot committee. James Woodworth, acting as master of ceremonies, will crown a king and queen in the course of the evening. The king and queen are to be chosen the night of the dance so as to be a surprise to the mas well as to the rest of the students attending the dance. The Hi-Spot program committee is. in charge of choosing the Valentine king and queen from the senior class members present at the dance. Patricia Gaddis is in charge of decorating the gw"mnasium in Valentine hearts and supids. Cherri! Hamin and Marilyn Kitchen are making the crowns. The music will be furnished by ~orman Smith and his orchestra, and they have been selected to furnish the music for the remaining Hi-Spot 1 dances. The Valentine party will be the second Hi-Spot dance this year, the first being held Friday, J anuary 30. Norman Smith and his band supplied the music for dancing in the girls gymnasium. Besides dancing, there was basketball in the boys gymnasium, ping pong and other games in the game roof and the snack bar in the cafeteria. According to the committee the crowd was larger thaµ they had anticipated, since tile cold and snowy weather doubtlessly kept several students from attending the dance.

L.H.S. Lights Out; Short in Man Holes 0. A. Curtis electrical engin-
eer for the board of education, stated early Thursday morning, January 30, that the power failure in the high school building was due , to a short circuit in the underground service which feeds the entire building. The underground service is a 5000-volt service which connects the city power lines to the main switchboard in the building. Since the short circuits occurred in. the man holes, the service WM. re-established by early after.Won. It was thought the trouble might be caused as the result of the lightning storm Wednesday night; Jam1ary 29. The clocks, bells and telephones were mt · affected because they operate from the storage batteries in the school, but the lights, sound system and electrical appliances in the cafeteria were Dnt of commission. The cafeteria staff had to prepare all fo4Kl by hand as well as wash dish.e s that way.

Tentative cast of the junior class play, "Our Hearts Were· Young and Gay," to be presented February '28, has· been announced by ).V!rs. Lou McLean, · dramatic coach. This cast, which began rehears• als January 28, includes Margery Van Pelt, Sara Herminghaus, Mary Sidner, Henrietta Hagelber• g.e r, Ruth Sorensen, Margaret Eastman, Joan Mockett. Carol Campbell, Marilyn Brewster, Richard Irwin, Chesmond Bade, Fred Mayer, Rex Touzaline, Duane Ainlay, Tom Rische, Lyle. Ullstrom, Glenn Curtis and Jim Tomasek as student director. Tryouts were held January 27, and were ·judged by Miss Margaret O'Rourke, Miss Ethel Bryant, Mrs. Carolyn Wenzlaff, Carl Manthey and Mrs. McLean. Tryout Turnout Excellent. "We had an excellent turnout for tryouts with nearly 80 at• tending and those who were chosen had superior ratings," re• marked Mrs. McLean. "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay," was written by Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily Kim• brough and is a story of their own experiences. It was ·dramatized by Jean Kerr. The book was a best seller and was made into a m ovie not long ago. The play is a comedy and tells about two 19-year-old girls who travel to, Europe by ship unaccompanied and meet two boys en route. Their narrow escapes, such as getting mea~es and capturing st owaw_ays, are both delightful and typical. Property and advertising committees are being chosen and will start work immediately.

Efforts of L.H.S. Praised; Now It's Up to You!
,
" "Courage Makes A Man," is the title of an editorial in the January 16 issue of the "Islander," the Grand Island high school newspaper, which praised the efforts of three high school students, Olive Gettman, Frank Piccolo and Dick Means, who went out to Grand Island, along with Ralph Beechneer to explain about and apologize for the trouble after the Grand Island vs. Lincoln high basketball game. Here is what the G.I. paper had to say: "Three scared high school students were seated on an unfamiliar stage. They faced an unfamiliar student body, which, as far as they knew, might at any minute let out a cat-call or a boo directed at them. "They were there to do an unpleasant job. They were there to make amends for several regretable incidents. They were there to build up a feeling of good will between two schools to replace the animosity that existed. ."And they did. The student body realized that it took courage to do what those three Lincoln teen-agers were doing. When they explained that only two per cent of their classmates took part in the happening follmying the Lincoln-Grand Island basketball game and the other 98 percent knew nothing about it, when they asked that the 98 percent not be blamed for the minority, th~ G.I. student body responded with a wave of applause that swept the auditorium. "So may it ever be for all those who have courage." This is high praise. Lincoln high must prove to those Grand Island students that we are really behind our three repr?sentatives who went out there. We must prove that we are good sports, that we are truly sorry about what happened. We must prove that we will never again allow anything such as that to happen. And our big opportunity to prove this, not only to Grand Island, but also to all the rest of the state, is here. Tonight we play Northeast! No one will deny what an important game this is, or how much we want to win, but, we must not forget for one minute our obligation; our duty is to be good sports! Not only must we show the people who doubt us and those who believe in us that we are good sports, but also we owe it to the good name of our Lincoln high to stand behind our team-and be good sports!
Canteen Wanted by Youths In High School and Out - One of the most discussed problems of today is that of recreation for Lincoln youth. Panel discussions have been held, and different organizations have been formed, but many person11. feel that these organizations are not sufficient. "Where will we go? What will we do?" ''We could go to a teen club." "I'm afraid we can't, I'm out of high school, but you aren't, so we can't go to any clubs I know of together. Guess we'll have to go to a ic>how. l clo:a't care about these oth<:r places. Everyone there is so much older than we are." Have you ever had the above conversation? If so, it was because there are no clubs in Lincoln for high school and older boys and girls that enjoy going out together, but don't care for older company. Why can't a club for high school and young folks out of school be organized? This is one aspect of the field. Another refers to some of the clubs that have been organized, and where a Lincoln canteen could be held. Persons (mostly students) have talked about different buildings that could be converted into teen-canteens or clubs. All . is well, but just whom do they expect to pay for it? Recently the Pow-Wow Club has been organized for higl]. school boys with a fee of five dollars and $1.50 per month dues. Many boys feel that they cannot afford this. Maybe they can't, but $1.50 isn't very much when one considers that it costs at least that much to take a friend to show. Are there any other recreational facilities in Lincoln? Of course, the Y.W.C.A. and the Y.M.C.A. have several arrangements for high school pupils, and the Lincoln recreation board sponsors a Keen-Time club at Antelope park dance pavillion in the summer. • The Lincoln high Hi-Spot has been organized for some time, and finally parties are starting. A Teen-Canteen was discussed recently at a Lincoln Civic Forum, but as yet the results have not been announced.

"How to make gasoline." Ingredients: 200 pounds of V3420 (secret compound) 500 gallons high octane gas 1 bunsen burner 520 gallot pot 400 pounds lead 2621,4 ounces phosphorus 5 gallons of water Mix water with , V3420 until it forms a thick paste. Then pour into pot and heat until boiling. (This takes roughly 60 hours.) After it boils, pour off the scum and throw the rest away. If you want, you can throw away the phosphorus, because it is not needed. At this point . you should have about two and one half tablespoons of scum, which spelled backwards is mucs. Melt the lead and mix with scum being sure ·not to stick your right hand in the mixture unless you like the nickname "Lefty." Next mix the lead scum mixture and allow to stand for 361/z hours. By this time it should be cooled. Then get a pick and shovel and scoop out the lead, pour off the scum and you should have between three and five gallons of pure, refined gasoline.

'Two Languages, Russian, English Lead'-Laubach
Peeling Potatoes Made Easy in L.H.S. Cafeteria
Russian and English are the two leading languages · for a global language, according to Frank C. Laubach. This subject was discussed by foreign language classes of Miss Valeria Bonnell who .read an article taken from a magazine which shows that English and Russian ai·e t he leaders because of the great number of English speaking people, and Russian because it has the most perfect spelling and is considered richest in expressing shades of thought. Mr. Laubach states that English will run a bad second unless we reform · its spelling. He goes on to say that half America and four.fifths of the youth of America will accept reformed :!!Jelling with a whoop and hurrah, if it isn't too drastic. So far over 200 suggestions have ·been made. The most radical is that of Robert Owen, blind e xsenator. His global alphabet looks a little like Gregg shorthand and has many of America's great interested. If Senator Owen can get his alphabet started, it will have a chance oi winning by sheer ·' merit, continues Mr. Laubach. It is the simplest, best alphabet he has ever seen, says Mr. Laubach, but it labors under the same handicap as Esepranto, that is, nobody has used it muc!l. Mr. Laubach also states that educated ·English-speaking people agree that there are two ways to spell, the old way and the right way, If we realize t his, most of the difficulty of foreign world dreads will be hurdled. Mr. Laubach ends by saying that Spain, Russia, Haiti and China have reformed their spelling, and so will we, because it is being forced on us. We may have to accept, he says, Owen's perfect global alphabet which could become the speller's he~ven.
"Wonder what's the menu to.. day?" you r.sk as you hurry to join the swarm of students thronging into the L. H. S. cafe .. . teria. As you stand in line, you decide just w hat you want to eat, fill your tray, and blithely sit down to enjoy the delicious food. But where and how is this nutritious foo'd prepared? Have you evel' actually seen the interior of t he kitchen where your lunch is prepared every day? Most lik ely you have n ot. However on the evening of open house, the cafet eria and kitchen were open for all parents t o see just where their children's food is prepared, and for the children, themselves to see. Have you ever wished you wouldn't ever have to pe·e1 pota.. toes again? Well, the assistant s 1 in the cafeteria don't have to, You see they have a n electrfo po .. t ato peeler . The potatoes are thrown intc the t op of t he m~.. chine, and spun rapidly around on a substance resembling sand paper while water is running . on the potatoes, washing the peelings away. Aft~r going through this process, the potatoes come out all peeled and ready to use. Also in the kitchen is a h uge r,ilnge and along one side wall stand several pie ovens. E ach day about 60 pies are baked. They always run out of pie and cake before everyone is served. Down t he center of the kit chen are several work tables for mak• ing sala ds, kneading dough, r oll• ing pie crust e tc. Another useful machine is one that cuts celery, oranges, grapefruit etc. Last, b ut not least, comes· the sandwich room. In it are several work tables and a bread slicer. F rom 600 to 800 sandwiches are m ade each day consisting of three kinds; peanut butter, meat and cheese. The butter a nd spread is put on by hand. The staff is made up of 20 assistant s. AU of them are capable and helpful making your cafeteria a better place in which to eat nutritious, wholesome food.

OPEN FORUM use of playing cards at Lincoln high? If so, several persons hav e violated this ruling during lunch period by playing bridge and other enlightening games in the corridors, on the stairs and standing up. No card game under these conditions could be very enjoyable nor relaxing. The game room affords only enough space for games other than cards. Besides this, most card games take a great deal of concentration which could not possibly be done in a noisy game room. Respectfully submitted, Cathleen Cox. Editor's Note: There is no rule. Game room is too small, but playing in corridors or on stairs is somewhat of a traffic problem and should . not be d one for that reason only. Cards have not been used t o any ex tent in game rooms because more popular games fill t he t ables and are better suited to short t µne available for playing, than bridge. for example. The game r oom can be used for bridge if pupils wish. ,

Lincoln to Face Sioux City Teams An · underdog Lincoln high ' 'five" tripped the Omaha South Packers 48-28 before a full -house Saturday night, January 25, at the Whittier gymnasium. Combining a sizzling defense with a lukewarm offense, the Links swept to their fourth win in the Missouri Valley conference and toppled the P acker's winning streak which had advanced to six straight. With the opening jump, John Moore tallied and the Red and Black were never headed after his basket. Bob Pierce rang the bell with a gratis toss and a bucket before the Omaha lads were in the game. Bob Rodgers mustered a free throw to initiate South's scoring and Lincoln, behind Moore and Dick Means, drove to a 18-7 lead at the first canto. Second Period Slow. In the second period, bad ball passing and handling stunted the scoring parade as the Links left at the intermission sporting a 249 advantage. As the last half started, Buddy Yambor made an abbreviated stab at Lincoln's lead for the Packers counting six points, but Bob Good potted two swishers and the outcome was never in doubt as Coach Weyand substituted freely during the last quarter. "Shorty" Pierce paced the Links with 12 markers while Dick Means and Bob Good counted ten and eight points respectively. For the metropolitan quintet Bob Rodger's eight points were best .while Buddy Yambor turned in a whale of a defensive game.

Virtually clinching the Missouri Valley crown, Lincoln handed the Little Sioux City Maroons at 4135 setback on the latter's home court after being extended to its outmost the last quarter Saturday. Setting a blistering pace, the Links grabbed a 11-5 first period advantage, but saw it disappear behind a Willie Lee and Rich Erickson barrage that brought the Little Maroons within one point of the Red and Black at the intermission 17 to 16. Lead Interchanges Starting the second half, the Sioux Citians capitalized first on a bucket and a free throw, but Dick Means knotted it at 19 all. Bob Pierce and Merlin Wiltfang each counted baskets to give the Links an abbrievated lead before Lee Erickson and Roger Burke caught fire fo.r the Maroons to take a third canto margin of 26 to 23. Central drove to a 31 tO 28 dif-
ference with four minutest left, but dead-eyes of PPierce, Means, John Moore and Jinm French put the game on ice for t he Red and Black. Bob Pierce took scoring honors with 13 points, being followed closely by Dick Means who tallied ten markers. As usual, John Moore played his bang-up floor play. "Dusky" Willie Lee and Rich Erickson we.re the point "getters" for Sioux City, each collecting 11. The summary: Lincoln Means f B.

The Lincoln high basketball team posted win number 5 in Missouri Valley conference competition Friday night by defeating Sioux City East. 45 to 33, in t he Morningside college gymnasium. Means Scores First. , East grabbed the lead at the start on Harlan Nimrod's bucket, but Dick Means tied it up a moment later to send Lincoln on its way. Means, who potted 10 of his 12 points in the first quarter, was the main reason. Lincoln held its 14-9 first quarter lead. Lincoln upped its margin in the second quarter to 20 to 12 although only hitting three of the 19 efforts from the floor. The Links' defense was almost airtight, holding East to a basket by Dunker and a free throw by Reynolds in the second period. In the thiid period, Bob Pierce led his mates in stretching their _lead to 31. to 19, but East, with defeat staring it in the face, rallied at the start of the fourth period. Opponents Cut Lead. Quick baskets by Dunker, .Nim,rod, Reynold, Rogers and Volosher cut down the Links' lead to 36 to 29 with two minutes t o go. As the Raiders' hopes quickly rose, Lincoln again found the basket and moved ahead to ice up the game. Pierce, who took only seven shots and who made four of them, followed Means in Ltncoln scoring with ten points. Dunker and Nimrod were best for the losers with ten and nine points, respectively.

Courtesy ls Worthwhile So Watch Your Manners!
Flicker Flashbacks
'A big "Hello"-a hearty handshake,
A friendly smile-or a hand you can shake, A "Hi-there, bud" - or a "Good morning, ma'am," Give you a good start, like eggs 'n ham! When you add them up, they're worth a lot, They're worth the time, don't think they're not! During the past week, written on the blackboards, little verses introducing points to be remembered about courtesy and good manners have been put up in the classroom~ of Lincoln high school by the classroom committee of the citizenship committee. This classroom committee is under the faculty sponsorship of Miss Edith Ellis and the student sponsorship of Ed Bartunek. Members of the committee are Jeanine Baker, Kathleen Schreiber, Patsy Baldwin and Ed Bartunek. .. These points, well worth being remembered, were gathered by the committee members from various sources. Many of the verses were taken from books of quotations and famous sayings about courtesy. The members worked long and hard to find these worthwhile sayings and they also wrote down points they thought would carry over. Courtesy is always remembered. There's a certain feeling of satisfaction when we give presents or send cards to a friend. It doesn't have to be a special occasion to send a card to a friend. Send a card on a birthday, an anniversary or if some one is not feeling well, but just a short friendly note is always appreciated. You'll find that your friends will remember you as that thoughtful person wbo remembers them. It's surprising how much ~leasur~ can be derived from doing such little thmgs-but the little things are those that count!
While your friends are on the stage, Don't whistle, be your age. Whistles, catcalls all should go, Cood courtesy, they don't show.
Congratulations to our wonderful basketball team who did a mighty fine job last week. And laurels are in store for the band, too! Once upon a time a moth named Esmerelda entered a wool eating contest. She quickly ate her way through a stack of wool half an inch high and won a silver loving cup. Then she went on to win the city and state wool eating contests. The day of the national tournament, Esmerelda was pretty confident. Two inches of wool didn't scare her; she began to gnaw her way through. When she paused for air, she noticed a little boy n\oth behind her. "Gee, he's cute. Maybe if I let him win, he'll come over and talk to me," she thought. · Esmerelda slowed down. Soon the boy moth forged ahead to win the gold medal. Then he went over to another girl moth and took her hand. Esmerelda cried and cried.· Have you ever seen a moth ball?

The arithmetic teacher said, "Now, boys, I want you to figure what the interest of one per cent on a million dollars for two years would come to." The whole class set to work with the exception of Jack Heckenlively in the front row. "What's the matter, Jack?" .asked the teacher. "One per cent doesn't interest me,''-was Jack's brilliant reply. · Question of the week: What would you do on a "Rainy Night in Rio?" Cecil Metzger: "Put up my hair." Joy McGrail: "Carry an umbrella." Mel Knopp: "Go to bed." Dorothy Fahrenbruch: "Stay home and drink coffee." Don Pederson: "Have a hot time and dry up the moisture." Jo Schacht: "Get wet."

Good-bye, slugs - see you in the slot machines. Sprocky and :Midge
Twenty year s bring many changes to school. In 1925 Lincoln high had 2,144 pupils enrolled. J. W. French was the new principal, while Paul N. Campbell was the new assistant principal. The present enrollment is slightly less and H. C. Mardis is principal and 0. W. Hackman, assistant. German classes were being started again afer a lapse of eight years. The anti-German feeling had forced their discontinuance. German was not discontinued during the second World war. H. E. Sidles had donated more money for the Hi-Y club building. The Hi-Y.club is now non-existant in Lincoln high and the building has been converted into an apartment house. The Lincoln football team, under the direction of Coach W. H. Browne, won the state championship that year, rolling up 377 points to a total of 9 for their opponents. Their 11 victories included a 17-0 defeat of Grand Island. Grand Island was the only team to mar Lincoln's victory slate this year. The student council Was chosen in October, instead of in the spring, as it is now. A new $100,00!l addition to the school was planned for some time in the near future. Although the term "new" addition is sometimes incorrectly used today, this is hardly accurate after 20 years. Lincoln high's basketball team lost the Class A tournament, by losing 17-14 to Omaha Tech.. The result this year is still to be determined. These are just a few events of 21 years ago. Yes, things are somewhat different now from then.

Before going to Tex as, he attended Sheridan and Irving junior high schools . in Lincoln. When asked what he thought of Lincoln hi'gh, William replied, "Well, I kinda like it. There is more recreation here than in Beaumont high." Classes at Beaumont included agriculture, and he was a member of the Future Farmers of America. Jim entered Lincoln high from Topeka high school, Topeka, Kan\ sas, where he lived for two years. He attended ninth grade in East high school, Parsons, Kansas, and seventh and ei'ghth grades in Bemidji high school, Bemidji, Minnesota. He finds "The kids are nice and it's easy to get acquainted."

Since their warm season comes around Christmas time, that is when they have their longest vacation period, which lasts for two months. Adrienne spends her holidays at the seashore. During this time of year, the trees come into flower, and the veld is a soft green.
"Young girls know just what they want," stated Mrs. Helene Cooper, buyer of junior dresses at Gold's. "Their selections are usually good and now the girls instead of their mothers pick out what they wish to purchase."

Open Forum To the Editor: What does that bell ring for when the period is half over is the question which the sophomores have not yet seemed to grasp. Well, their guess is about as good as some of the junior s' and seniors' is. Here's the real lowdown. That bell that rings is supposed to m ean that the teacher stops talking. Realize this? Well, you might say one or two of your teachers let you h ave the rest of the time for study, but you can't figure out why the r est of them don't. I guess nobody can. The only one that knows that answer is the teacher.. You say to yourself, "Gosh, if all my teachers really let me have my study time for that purpose and with the half hour for each class I study outside of school, I think it would help me learn faster and remember more." For instance, you think, my geometry teacher spent a whole period today teaching us a new method of working triangles. If she would have just taught us about half of the period, I could have studied and learned it myself. Maybe when I was doing my lesson after dinner that night I wouldn't have forgotten half of what the teacher said. Yes, it would be something for the teachers to try, wouldn't it, and maybe they would be surprised at the results. BARBARA NORVAL. ~ditor's Note: According to the faculty angle, the mathematics teacher of this hypothetical person was showing the pupil how to study a new idea. So long as the average assignment does not demand more than oneh alf hour from an average pupil outside, it makes no difference about the bell.

"Jonica's Island," by Gladys Malverne, is a story of a Dutch girl, who is the daughter of .the town drunk and ·thief. This sfory takes place in New York, then called Niew Amsterdam. Her father is banished with the penalty of death for returning. Jonica goes to the dismal, muchf eared alms-house. The only friend she has is Gerrit, a son of the well-to-do Van der Voort family, J onica is bound out to the Van der Voorts for five years after which she is to be free. There are seven Van der Voort boys. When one of the boys, Conradus, is sick one Sunday, Jonica stays home from church with him. Someone enters the house and
steals one of Wouter's suits and the boys' funeral money. Jonica is blamed and sent to serve the rest of her five years on another brother's farm. The Indians burn the house and kill the brother's wife, after which Jonica goes back to Niew Amsterdam to help the Van der Voorts during the smallpox plague. Under her deft hands, Vrouw Van der Voor_t and one of the boys socn recover. In return she is given her freedom which she does not want, so she is made a daughter of the family. Gerrit gives her the knotted handkerchief which is the Dutch '' pr1Jposal of marriage, bringing about a happy ending to the story.

Advocate Staff Visits Journal The Lincoln Journal, at which plant the Advocate is printed, became the subject of observation for the Advocate staff, February 4. Ernie Weir, former staff member of the Advoate, now an employee of The Journal, directed the staff throughout the plant. The morgue and the news room were the first to be seen. The Assoeiated . P ress teletype machines, the source of a great amount of news, attracted the staff members. However, the composing room where the Advocate was being made up under the supervist~m of the editors afforded the greatest amount of interest. The· operation of the linotype held the staff's attention for about ten minutes. In leaving, the staff reached the pres.5 room just in time to see the 3 o'clock run. Many pupils were surprised to· see the papers come out all cut and folded and taken to the mail room in so short a time. Pamphlets were distributed to each staff member.

Fitch, Gaiter Win Debate Tournament Take Missouri Valley Finals
'Mikado' Chosen Senior Opera; Tryouts Soon "The Mikado," by Gilbert and Sullivan, has been chosen by a committee from the choir as this year's opera to be held May 24 and 25 in the Lincoln high school auditorium. The Mikado was chos~h because of the suitable materials now on hand for such an opera and also because of the wide student appeal. It was presented by the choir about seven years ago and the material was saved. Serving on the opera committee are Gwen McCormack, Nancy Noble, Joan Philipsen, Jack McCann and Robert Leinberger. Tryouts for the opera will be held this week and will extend over an indefinite period of time. Only members of the senior choir may try out.
By winning over Creighton Prep fn the finals, Lincoln high school has become the champion of the Missouri Valley open debate tour.; nament. · Keith Fitch and Paul Galter, debating the affirmative on the question of federally ad- · ntlnistrated medicine, had eight wins and two losses compared to Prep's eight wins and three losses. Five Tea.ms in Semi-Fina.ls. One team from Omaha Central, Benson, North, Creighton Prep, and Lincoln entered the semifinals. These teams had six wins and two losses in the preliminaries.

Barbara Towne Glad to Return Home '.Alter Ten Months in Foreign Countries After spending 10 months ·"1 Ireland and France while her father was stationed there, Barbara Towne has returned to Lincoln high. Black dress, long . black cotton hose, no jewelry, and no use of cosmetics, were the characteristics of the girls in Laurel hall, convent in Ireland, which Barbara Towne attended, two months. They were required to curtzey to the nuns and stand when a nun entered the room. "Some schools in Ireland have very severe punishments and there i:;; no free education," stated Barbara. Laurel Hill is very large and resembles a church. It has many beautiful gardens. Barbara travelled to and from Europe on ships. In the trip back the ship. was 60 hours late; She met only three Americans on the trip back. Most of the passengers were Russians, Germans and Poles. Barbara was in Ireland ·and France and went through England. She told many· interesting facts about Europe and the Europeans. Most Europeans think the Americans are very stupid and will try to cheat them in every way possible, according to Barbara. "In Dublin, there are still Germans running around in full uniform. When Goering and some of the other nazi big shots were executed, some of the Irish wore black patches on their clothes. As a matter of fact, some people in Ireland dislike Americans so much they tried to sue the U. S. govlirnment when an Irishman
slipped and fell on an American banana peel," she went on. In France Barbara had no fresh milk or meat for two months, no vegetables for eight months, nothing containing sugar. The cost of a cup of coffee in France is equivalent to $5. On the trip back, Barbara in conversation with another passenger, started to complain about the living conditions in France, when her companion started talking. He had been in a nazi concentration camp and hadn't seen his wife for some time. The man was forced to carry bodies of other prisoners to the incinerators. One day he had to carry the body of his wife to be burned. "You can imagine how I felt after complaining ab.out no milk and vegetables," said Barbara. One night she went to a French opera "to spend a dull evening." However, the evening wasn't quite so dull as was expected. In the final act one of the men was to be stabbed (with a rubber knife of course). But, somebody had exchanged a real knife for the rubber one. Since no one knew of the change, plenty of excitement followed the stabbing. There were only two bathrooms for 40 rooms in the hotel at which she stayed in Ireland and she had to register each time she wanted to bathe. She had to go to the Police Station to· sign up for soap. When she received the soap she was always quite happy, but by the time she got back to the hotel, her bath might have been cancelled. Barbara and her family plan to go back to Europe and stay in Rome during this coming summer.

Eagle Scouts Display Flags
February 21-22 At U. of N. The Nebraska high school press association is holding its first convention since the war on February 21-22 at the University of Nebraska. The school of journalism is sponsoring the meeting. .There will be conferences, round table discussions, exhibits, contests, awards and social .events. Delegates from the Advocate s~aff will have an opportunity to help put out an issue of the Daily Nebraskan, the university paper. This will give students actual practice in reporting, make-up work, and writing headlines. The exhibits will show how other high school papers are writing the exchange column, humor page, or getting different makeups for the front page. Teachers ' will attend conferences and exchange ideas with other advisers. Merritt Whitten of Nebraska City is the president of this association. Miss Bessie Fisher of Lincoln high school is acting treasurer, because the former treasurer moved out of the state.

Stenographers Get Good Jobs All January stenographic graduates have been placed in business firms or other positions, according to Miss Alice B. Beynon, office training teacher. She had six times as many calls from business firms desiring help as she had pupils to fill them. Salaries range from $90 to $125 per month. The $90 position was with an insurance company which offered a good chance for advancement. Several of the graduates were put into the vocational and rehabilitation department at the state capitol. Many June seniors have also been placed in part-time work by Miss Beynon. Their salaries are usually 50 cents to 65 cents per hour. "Placement of our stenographic pupils takes a great deal of time, but sine~ the majority of our pupils are successful in their work I find the task a very pleasant one," concluded Miss Beynon.

Brotherhood .Week to ·Be Observed In Many Schools Throughout U.S. Millions of public and parochial school students throughout the United States will respond to President Truman's national appeal to celebrate the fourteenth annual observance of American Brotherhood week sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and -Jews. Discussions are being held in a number of social studies and English classes on the theme, "Brotherhood-Pattern for Peace." President Truman is serving as honorary chairman and the Honorable John Winant, former ambassador to Great Britain and U.S. delegate to the United Nations, is the general chairman.

I will not be .misled by the lying propaganda o-f those who seek· to set race · against race or nation against nation, 6. I will refuse t n support any organization that has for its purpose the spreading of anti-Semitism, anti-Catholicism or antiProtestantism. 7. I will establish comradeship with t hose who seek to exalt the spirit of love and :reconciliat ion throughout the ·world. 8. I will attribute those who differ from me the same degree of sincerity that I claim for myself. 9. I will uphold the civil right and religious liberties of all citi:'.ens and groups, whether _I agree with them or not. 10. I will do more than live and let live-I will live and help live.

i'xchang·ing Students Helps Nations Understand Each Other, Says Bill Osborne From Trinidad
OPEN FORUM
"What am I going to do wh~n I graduate from high school?" This is asked by many students who have not chosen their vocations yet. By the time you are a senior you should at least have an occupation in mind which you would l~e to learn. Yet there are those who wait until they have wasted their high school education and then choose something. If students want to be salesmen or saleswomen, they should try to work at some business · place to know for sure if that is what they really want. If a girl decides to be a nurse, she can try to help out in a hospital, to find out if she is suitable for this kind of occupation. This is the same with music, auto mechanics and many others. A girl who is planning to marry when graduating from high school, will want to know about the home. So it is wise to take some kind of home economics. The person who plans his way through high school and university will get farther along in life than the person who waited and wasted his t ime in high school.

Have you noticed: A new blond junior? (Too bad boys; it's a boy! Ralph Nellor!) Surprise date of the week: Adele Coryell and Dick Moulton. Upon seeing John Grasmick behind a pile of books, we lured him from his studies long enough to answer a few questions. Ideal date: "Dancing to the music of Lame Foot Louie and his Louisiana swamp-drainers.'' Favorite food: "Hog jowls and grits." Favorite pastime: "Eating crackers in bed while reading some American literature. (The Hoss Thief Gazette.)" Feature most admired in . girls: "Small feet. (That way I'm less likely to step on their feet while dancing.) Notice I use the word "dancing" loosely. Best friend : "Anybody who's got a '46 Convertible. (I'm not hard to get along with!)" Life ambition: 6' 4".

"I woke up last night with a feeling t hat my watch was gone, so I got up to look for it ." - - - -"Was it gone?" - - - - "No, but it was going." After quizzing and digging for ' many weary hours we have finally compiled this survey of what so many girls have been wanting to know- the essent ials of a good date: 1. She doesn't eat much. 2. She has a go.o d personality. 3. She doesn't eat much. 4. She has a sense of humor. 5. She doesn't eat much. (This does not constitute the editor's opinions!)

government and blue is for justice representing loyalty and equal rights to all m en. Therefor e what should we do for this great flag, 'our flag? Should we pay no attention when it is parading before us? When the "Star Spangled Banner" is played; should we stand at attention? O.n days commemorating great wars, should we display the flag correctly? No, you don't have to; men were created with rights so that they don't have to respect the flag. But remember these great words when you're saluting the flag, "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America ahd to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all."

Honesty of Washington Still Remembered " First in w ar, first i n peace, and first in. the hearts of his countrymen." ·At the time of Washington's death, these words were first written to describe the immortal place t hat he held in the hearts and minds of the American people. · George Washington, son of a wealthy planter, was born on February 22, 1732. As a young man, he was known for his honesty and t ruthfulness. In his first military e ngagements he showed sound judgment and courage. He attended many p ubli<;: assemblies and w as chosen , commander in chief of the contin ental arm y. When George Washington w as .chosen President of the United States, it was fortunate for the nation that t he early years of t he new gover nm ent were under his able leadership.
Inquiries ·About Lost Possessions May Prove to Be Very Valuable "As a whole, the p upils of Lin coln high are very h onest," stated Mrs. Ruth Evans, who is in charge of the bookroom and the lost and found room, "although some things aren't turned is as soon a s possible.'' Two boys' watches and a girl's watch which are b eing eagerly sought by the owners, haven't been tur ned in, as yet. The most common articles which a re lost are h eadscarfs, with pens and pencils a close second. From now on, gloves and mittens will be quite common, accordin g to Mrs. Evans. At least two or three things are turned in every da y. Most of these were found in the cafeteria or in the rest-rooms. When an article is turned in without. a ny identification, the person who found it is requir ed to sign a "found" card. If the article is not claimed within 30 days, the
person who found i t gets to k eep i t. One thing t hat puzzles Mr s. Evans is that sometimes when a billfold, pen, or something with a p upils' identification on it is found, it isn't claimed. When this happens, she must go to the office and look up the p upil so that she may return it. The very v aluable things such as watches should be turned in t o Mrs. Evans in 138, the official lost and found room, too, but sometimes pupils turn these in to Miss Dorcas Weatherby or the office. According to Mrs. Evans, some p upils don't seem to know there is a lost and found room. Rewards don' t have to be given, b ut in Mrs. Evans' opinion a reward or at least a n ote of thanks should be given b y t h e person recovering a valuable article to the person who returned it .
very strict and send a governor to Trinid ad who acts as a k ing, the people would mµch rather be in this position than be independent. While much sugar cane is raised in Trinida d, . the British do not allow the people t o set up their own refineries. Instead, t he sugar must be sent to Britain to be refined, then bought back by the Trinidad people. On the island of Trinidad, which is about 2,000 square m iles and has a pre-war populat ion of approximately 600,000, are many different types of religion, including Hinduism, Methodism, t he Catholic religion, and m any other minor ones. Bill announced that he is now st udying to be a doctor. "I will practice medicine at home and I also plan to writ e a book on my travels. For you see, I ha ve t raveled in a great number of cou ntries." "I will, I hope, come b ack t o t he United States in the future. I am not sure if I will get back to Lincoln or not, but a t least t o New York. If I am unable to come to Lincoln, at any r at e I can never forget the k in d people I h ave met here.''

over the waste basket looking down at him and t alking. Then one of t he boys reached d own and picked him up. Oscar was happy! He didn't know what was going to happen but it was surely to be an adventure! He was n ot afraid, for he knew t he boys well. The one that picked him up was Ed Angle, w ho had often turned the lamp that Oscar had previously occupied, on and off. The other boy was one that Oscar had seen many times with Ed. He knew that this boy's name w as Bill Misko. Oscar was a very smart little light bulb, even though he was burned out. He listened intently to what the boys were talking about in hopes of finding out what was in store for him. He heard them talking about a new kind of flash bulb that could be used 10,000 times. J ust think of that! He knew by the way that they talked that it was very expensive and that in some way, he, Oscar Watt Lightbulb IV, was to be used in an experiment . He went on listening as they w ent on talking about th is wonderful new thing. Oscar found out that it would take a picture in a very tiny, tiny part of a second. Oscar was pla ced on a table. He l ay there quietly as a good little lightbulb should while he watched B ill get the camera ready. Ed left t he room and came back shortly with a long hammer in his hand. Then Oscar knew what was happening. He didn't mind though because it was a much more exciting way to e nd than to be thrown in a waste basket. When everything was ready it happened. CRASH!!! Ed had struck poor little Oscar with 'the hammer, but not before Bill had clicked the camera and tripped the new flash bulb. It was done! The boys developed the negative and sure enough, they had succeeded on their first attempt. The boys then turned it · in to the "P icture of the Month" contest at school .. . and it won! Even though Oscar's in little pieces, he's very happy. The boys assured him that he was the only light bulb that they knew, that had his picture chosen as the pict ure of the month! By Carol Campbell

To better their technique in singing solos and to gain poise, six members of Miss Dorthea Gore's glee class meet every Tuesday a nd Thursday, first period, in the music room. Patricia Hinds, Donna Colhapp, JoyMcGrail, Joan Mockett, Marilyn Bstandig and Luiclle Anderson have selected this class to improve their voices. Miss Gore's permiss~on was requ}red before they could enter. The girls are accompanied .bY Dorothy Beggs. Floor plans are being drawn by Miss Ethel Etmund's home economics 12 classes. When these are completed, the pupils will study the proper arrangement of different types of furniture, and place them on the enlarged plans. In accord with this, field trips are being planned, the first of which to be during the last of February. The classes will visit homes . and . business . establishments in Lincoln. Newscasts are being given over sound by beginning newswriting students in English 8 to their own class. During February broadcasting general news will be Marilyn Kieck; school news, Wallace Barnett; and sports by Bill Howell. They are introduced by Louise Asmus. The news will be given every Tuesday and Thursday this semester to keep the students informed of what is going on around them. Because of the overflow of pupils in his class, Coach Bill Pfeiff was forced to divide his third period physical education class into two parts, half under the direction of Mr. Pfeiff and the other half under the direction or the new instructor, Harold Scott. Ralph Beechner's first period class has also been divided into two sections, one under the supervision of Coach · Beechner, the other under Mr. Scott. There is · also additional help by two University of Nebraska football players, Bob Tegt who helps Pfeiff, and Sam Vacanti who helpS Scott. What produces the low temperature in an electric ice box?

Delores Buck, senior, has entered Lincoln high from Wapato high school, Wapato, Washington. She also attended Yakima high schools in Yakima, Washngton. "I think Lincoln h igh is 0. K. but I would like it better if I could get into some of the clubs or other a ctivities," stated Delores. Wapato high school is much smaller than the Lincoln high, last year's graduating class having only 80 students. Delores wrote and directed sketches for "pep" assemblies there. To enter the pep club at Wapato, one had to be voted in by the student body. Delores ran for Pep club and also for the office of assistant social chairman of student body. However, she was forced to drop out of running hecause of her transfer to Lincoln.
Four of. the fellas, Buzz Weiderspan, Jim Stroud, Jack Kidder, and Jack McConnell, travelled to Omaha Friday for their dates with girls there.

I1JW. mu1 ]Jud I By Burdette Pecha. Outstanding in girls sports thts week is the round r obin interclass basketball tournament. There are six teams, two from each class. Two games will be played each Tuesday and Thursday for four weeks. Watch for the champions at the end of this sixteen-game series. The teams are as follow s: Sophomore Teams Lorna Austin, captain; June Betz, Evelyn Elb~rt, Betty Fletcher, Betty Hall, Joan Imig, Cleo J ones, Mary Ann Kellogg, Norma Krull, Arlene Lorey, Darlene Lorey, Ella-Mae McBride, Joan Sommer. JoAnn O'Brien, captain; Marlene Bell, Patty Herzog, Vivian Johnson, Dorris Newman, Marilyn Nichols, Joan Sch acht, Edna Schneider, Jean Simmerman, Jerrie Unland, Jeanne Vierk, Jerry Wertz. Junior Teams Mary Reinhard, captain; Vivian Holmes, Henrietta Hagelberger, Pat Hinds, Doris Gillett, Barbara Estes, Gertrude Roesler, Elizabeth Stoesz. Ruth Ann Richmond, captain; Lorene Hoschele, Donna McBride, Darlene Bar cus, Lorraine Anderson, Marilyn Maca, Mirian Sinner, Donna Schafer, Jean Ward, Florence Rhod es, Velma Rebensdorf, Louise Asmus. Senior Teams Irene Eitel; captain; Marian Ekblad, Ruth Bergstraesser, Lois Reigert, Barbara Bretzer, Marge Prohaska, Joan Saling, Eleanor Miller. Elsie Schafer, captain; Janet Carr, Evelyn Daharsh, Mary Peck, Betty Smith, Betty Olson, Norma Karlson, Beverly Burke. Those attending every time their team plays will receive a basketball emblem, or if they got an emblem last year and their G.A.A. dues are paid, they will be awarded a. letter. Basketball i s also very popular in the gymnasium classes. Whenever a class is asked what it would like to do next, basketball is the unanimous response. This sport not only ex ercises all p arts of the body, but teaches the player running, jumping and dodging and to use his head as well, according to Miss Lillian Story, basketball teacher. All girls who think you may have hidden tap dancing talents, why not join the afterschool tap dancing class which meets on Mondays and Wednesdays. With Miss Helen Jo Miller and Pat McKay teaching and Bev Thompson playing the piano, the class is having lots of fun. Joy Night seems to be on everybody's mind these days. At the G.A.A. meeting, February 12, girls who would be interested in planning and participating in an act were asked to hand in their names. All G.A.A. members should be sure to pay dues to the treasurer, Betty Olson, soon. Deep water tests have been taken in the girls · swimming classes. To get into deep water, a girl must show that she ca n swim the crawl, a back stroke and be able to tread water. Carrying on the tradition started several years ago, the girls athletic association will again this year select the one who they think is most typi'cal of all the graduating senior girls. Chosen on the basis of scholarship, citizenship, sportsmans hip and school leader ship, she must excel in all four. These qualities are all weighed and measured until the one who is the best all around girl is found. "This year," stated Mi.ss Litlian Story, one of the club's sponsors, "it will be especially difficult because there are more seniors in G.A.A. than usual. The top ranking girl will be elected late this spring."

Pendulum Studied By Physics Class J. D. You ng's fourth period physics class member s have been searching for a mercurial compensated pendulum. Well, you m ay ask, wh at is a mercurial compensated pendulum? A mercurial compensated pendulum is a ·pendulum on a clock t hat keeps moving at the same speed no matter w hat the temperatu re in t he r oom may be. This type of pendulum has two t ubes filled part way with mercury, that swing with the pendulum. Now everybody k now s that wit h a change in temperature metal will expand or contract. The mercury will act in a mann er opposite t o the reaction of t he metal to temperature change, or com.pensation. Therefore the clock w ill keep correct t ime n o matter what the temperature is. The students and some of the· faculty may b e interested to know that t here is a cloclc with a mercurial comp ensated pendulum in this school. It is in the office.

They have lost t o Grand Island and Scottsbluff• Coach Weyand stated that these t wo t eams are the best offensive teams the team has played against this year and that Grand Island was t he best defensive ' team. "I usually put Means on the op• ponents' b est offensive player," L yle explained. H e also said that Pierce was a good offensive player and that Moore was good on bot h offense and defense. In regard to ret aining the state t itle he said, "Anything can hap• pen in the state tournament; w e have as good a ch ance as anybody else." In looking to the future Coach Weyand said he t hought Hastings w ould give the Links the most trouble.

Popular and Classical Music to Be Played In Program Series The orchestra of Lincoln high school under the dir ection of Ber nard F. Nevin will present concerts at . Irving, Whittier and Everett, thr.e e junibr high schools, April 29, 30 and May 1. "The orchestra has a fine selec· tion of numbers,'' said Mr. Nevin followjng a rehearsal. "The music will range from several concert pieces to popular music and will last approximately three- quarters of an hour." These concerts have been presented before, but during t he war, transportation was difficult to se~ cure ancj. th_e pupils could n ot go from the high school to the other schools. "The orchestra practices third period · and they have been doing the numbers nicely and will do them even better when the concert tour begins," said Mr . Nevin. "The orchestra looks forward to these £oncerts and works hard for them." A concert will be presented at Lincoln high some time soon and also a Vesper concert.

and think in a manner that convinces p eople that your side of the question is right." Dorothy Speer commented, "Ruth and I entered the course with the idea of making up a team, for we have always h ad somewhat different slants on problems and were quick to grasp each other 's ideas. Then too, Lincoln high h ad never had a t win debate t eam so we thought we'd add a little variety to t h e course. Debate does t ake .a lot of w ork and research, but it is a class we would not hav~ missed for the world. It was just too much fun." According to the Speer twins, three impor tant benefits from the course can be listed. First-On~ learns the technique of research, singling out the most important material. Second- One learns to stand and t alk easily before a group making the t one of v oice interesting, u nderstandable and conversational. A debater cannot be convincing if he is a dull speaker. Third-One learns organization and adoption of the mater ial and evidence. Debaters must organize · material clearly, so that when it is presented to a group it can be easily grasped. One of the hardest jobs in debate is to con vince oneself that on t he affirmative, one is fully for the question, but when on t he negative, wholly against it.
What happen s when two nine• teen-year- old girls, unaccomied go abroad and ·study dancing and dramatics in Paris? This is rev ealed in the junior play, "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay," to be given Friday. Sally Herminghaus, portraying Cornelia Skinner; an.d Mary Sidner is Emily K imbrough do just this. Cornelia, a lover of dra. mat ics, tries to act very sophisticated, but has many empabbassing moments. Emily is rather naive and everything she says, no matter h ow absurd, seems per• fectly logical to her. Mr. and Mrs. Skinner, played by Chesmond Bade and Margaret Eastman, respectively, see the girls off to Europe. Opens on Board Ship. On shipboard, Cornelia meets Leo, a sincere and likeable boy played by Charles Irwin. Emily's companion turns out to be Dick, a charming, easy going boy, portrayed by Duane Ainlay. Marilyn Brewster and Carol Campbell as Winifred and Harriet, are crisp, breezy English girl s who bi;!come acquainted with Emily and Cornelia. The steward, Toin,.Rische, the purser, Lyle Ullstrom; . the admiral, Rex Touzalin; the stewardess, Margery ·Van Pelt, and the inspector, Joan Mockett, all help .or hinder Emily and Cornelia, contributing to the merry time on board. Scene Shifts to Paris. In P aris, Madame Elsie, por t rayed by Ruth Sorensen, is their efficient hotel k eeper and her daughter, Theres·e, played by Henrietta Hagelberger, is their pretty French maid. Monsieur De La Cr oix is Cornelia's showy dramatic teacher, played by Fred Mayer. Glenn Curtis portrays the friendly t alkative window cleaner. All these char acters were introduced at a double assembly Thursday, February 20, by Bob J ohnson of radio st ation KFOR, who was annou nced by Nancy Benjamin, chairman of t he advertising committee. Fleda Ziegenbein of the radio staff played the piano for t he vocal numbers in which the audience was invited to join. Tickets a re being sold in room 125 for 30 cents or an a ctivity ticket.
$250 Is Voted To Buy Rifles The student affairs committee, comp osed of faculty and student r epresentatives, voted unanimously to give a gr ant of $250 from the student activit y fund, for t he purchase of rifles for the prospective rifle club, which should be organized this spring. Four or five heavy .22 caliber r ifles, weighing about nine p ounds, will be locally purchased. Students wh o join the club will purchase their own ammunition and targets, at minimum cost. Because so :many students are interested in the club, th e member.ship may be limited to UP!Jer• classmen. T he board of education i s bu ilding the range in the basement of Lincoln high, at the bottom of the southwest stairs. T he stu dent a ctivity fund is used to subsidize school activities, which are beneficial t o the school, but which have no income. There is also a revolving fund that ad .. vances money which will be r eturned. The t hird use of the fund is for capital out lay for t hin gs th e student body desires. In t he past the oval, sound system and auditorium equipment have been purchased. J oy Night is the chief source of income for this fund.

Don't Let Tommy the Tubercule Get Started in Your Body; He's Dangerous Tommy kills more than 50,000 persons each year. He is small and seemingly insignficant at first before he begins his real destruction. But who is Tommy? Tommy is a tubercule. In simple form, Tommy is a small micro-organism about 1/ 16 of an inch in diameter. He was formed . when several tubercle bacilli (tuberculosis germs) lodged in a healthy lung. These bacilli first became a substance resembling cheese, then later it turned to pus. Little by little the bacilli began to break down the structure of the organ into which they ha d settled. As a r esult of this tissue breakage, poison is scattered t hroughout the body. The unfortunate part results in the fact that many, ma ny people the world over do not realize the importance of stopping Tommy before he gets a good start. If Tommy is given the chance to establish a firm h old on the healthy tissue, he will spread and infect other body tissues•.
Tommy must be stopped before he gets a good start! But how can you know when Tommy is presen t in your body, each day decreasing your life span? Tuberculosis, like any other disease, has signs w hich must be recognized at the earliest possible moment. Loss of weight and excessive coughing are two which should be heeded. See your doctor at once! These signs may not be indications of T.B. at all, but as the old saying goes, "Better safe than sorry." Never take these . symptoms with a nod of the head. Delay m ay be fatal! Early cases of tuberculosis are curable by months in a sanatorium. Ver y often, Tommy has grown and spread to both lungs, this ending in death. Soon you will have a chance to have had an x-ray free here a t school. It is part of this grave peacetime war on Tommy, the the tubercul~, and his friends who go on a rampage in the bodies of people, th'e world over.

Captain Sanders Warns of Accidents; Suggests High School Safety Education
Joy Night Tryouts-March 4 a nd 5. Is Your Act Ready for Tryouts?
"Nebr aska can expect at least 1,200 traffic deaths and 25,000 injuries in the next five years," Captain C. J. Sanders of the state safety patrol warned in a recent speech to the Lincoln Claim Men's Association at the Cornhusker . For decreasing the traffic accident rate, Captain Sanders recomm ended that stock be taken of'the present traffic laws, that t he laws of the cities and the state be made uniform, that the traffic facilities and equipment be checked so that they are adequa te and that the m an power be well traineed. He also suggested that the nation's high schools p rovide driver education for t he two million persons who reach the driving age each year. · Some practical safety h ints are: Always be aler t. Let nothing distract your attention from the job of d riving. Approach pedestrians with caution. Be ready to make a quick safe stop. Always remain . a sufficient distance behind the car in front to be able to stop safely. Slow moving vehicles must keep to the extreme right of the highway. They are a n accident haz· ard, inviting foolish motorists to . make dangerous passes. When an .officer signals for you to stop, drive to the extreme right
of the highway and give notice of your intentian to the vehicle behind you. Insead of coasting around a curve keep in gear; feed gas cautiously. Never ja myour brakes. Best braking power ls obtained by applying and releasing the br akes intermittently with a pumping motion. In slowing down, permit clutch to remain engaged, (engine running ) . To insure safety use the same gear in descending a steep grade as you would have to use t o ascend it. If your car starts to skid keep it in gear and turn the front wheels in the direction of t he skid. Never' overdrive your headlamps at night. A good rule is to d rive two-thirds as fast at night as in daytime. Slow down at sundown. Keep the windshield clean. A dirty windshield is especially haz. ardous at sundown and dusk. Be on the a lert at. night for the identification lig~1ts ot trucks and b uses. These indicate large slow moving vehicle.s. Never operate, a car for more than four hours with less than thir ty minutes relaxation, nor more than eigh t hours with less than two hours r est.

Driving Safely Sophomore Takes Chicago Offers Musical Clubs To Plan Assembly Topic of Talk Trip Into Mexico Scholarships After a trip of nearly 2,000 .miles, La Vanna Schmeiding, sophomore, returned to Lincoln high last week. La Vonna and her parents started Thursday, February 6, traveling through sleet, snow, and storm in "sunny" Texas. They had planned to go into Monterrey, Mexico, but Mexican authoriti!!s refused to permit them to enter because of the fact that their car was not 60 days old. However, they took a bus to Matamoras, Mexico, which was as far as they were permitted to go. From Mexico they followed t he coast to Shreveport, La. Then they travelled through the Ozarks and arrived · home 10 days after they started.
Nebraska Safety Patrol Lieutenant Speaks to Assembly
Lieutenant 0. H. Witte from the Nebraska state safety patrol spoke on "Safety for All Drivers," in a double assembly last Wed- nesday, February 12.

More than 100 scholarships, valued at $108,000, will be awarded by the College of the University of Chicago for the 1947-48 school year to students who have completed the sophomore, junior or senior years in high school, Robert M. Hutchins, chancellor of the university announced today. The scholarships, ranging from full tuition of $420 up to $1,000 a year, will be granted in nationwide competition held April 19. Applications for scholarship ·and admission must be submitted by April I. Full Year Tuition Possible Fifty-five of the scholarships cover one years' tuition, or $420. Additional cash stipends up to _$580 per year will be made to a limited ~umber of students who have received tuition scholarship awards. A total award · may range from $500 to $1,000 per academic year for these students. All awards are made for one year, but may be renewed in the same amount up to a total of four years or until the College program is . completed if ·academic performance is sufficiently_high to merit renewal. The ultimate value of a scholarship may range to $4,000. Sophomores Eligible Students who have completed two, three, or four years of high school are eligible for the spring competition. The college admits students after the sophomore year in high school and enables them to complete their general educa-_ tion with a bachelor's degree, by the age of 18 or 19. After the recipient of the Chicago College degree has completed his general education, he is ready for specialization. A master of arts or master of science degree may be obtained after three years of additional study. Each student in the College begins the College program at the level for which his ~~ucational achievement- qualifies him, regardless of high school credits. After admission to the College, students take a 14-hour series of placement tests. These tests determine exactly where each student i:;tarts in the College. If the student shows he has the equivalent. of one or more of the general College courses, he is credited with them. Most high school students should, if their work is satisfactory, be able to qualify for the bachelor's degree a fter t wo years in the College; abler students may receive the degree in even less time. The Chicago College program differs in two other ways from the traditional collegiate program. Its course of study consists of an 'integrated system -of 14 · year-long courses covering the . principal fields of knowledge rather than ?-n assortment of courses chosen by the student himselt It measures the achievement of students and determin'es eligibility for the bachelor's degree by comprehensive examinations rather than by adding credits earned in separate courses. Test in Omaha Sixty-two ·metropolitan cities throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico have been designated as centers -for the test, the nearest of which is Omaha. Students wishing to apply for scholarships may obtain application forms by writing to the Entrance counselor, the University of Chicago, Chicago 37, Illinois. Applications must be completed and filed at the university n ot later than April 1, 1947. In all cases the application for a scholarship must· be accompanied by an application for admission to the College, including the payment of the five-dollar application fee .

Mummers Hear Of Circlet Theatre
Scene at School By Ginny Koch

Lincoln .Cagers Take Wins to End Home Season Red and Black Down Hastings And Falls City
Aquatic Crew To Compete for State Crown In aiming to unseat the defending state swimming champions, Omaha T ech, the Lincoln aquati<;: crew will travel merely across town to the University of Nebraska's coliseum pool next Saturday for the state swimming and diving meet. The L inks main obstacle is the formidable crew from Omaha Tech who have already defeated the Links in a du al meet. The Techste~ are blessed with the versatile t rio of Marcus and Merill Hodges a nd Ted Kanamine who were double gold medal winners in last fall's meet. Tech is backed by m any constant point gatherers who will give the Links a bad time.
Photo by Misko. HARLAND HUPPERT . Free Style The Links have only one individual winner back and that is Bill Greer i n the 100-yard breast stroke. The Links are b acked by eleven point makers in last fall's meet. Lincoln's chance for the state title lies in its numbers, whereas Tech is depende~t on a few top men. Best bets to win individual championships are Ted K anamine of Omaha Tech in the 50-yard free style, Bill Greer of Lincoln in the 100- yard breast stroke, Merrill Hodges of Omaha Tech in the 220yard· f ree style, Marcus Hodges in the 100-yard back stroke. There is a toss-up betwee n -:red Kanamine of Omaha Tech and Harland Huppert of Lincoln ·in the 100 yard free style. Ander son of Hastings is tops in diving.

Nor folk in last year's contest managed to stay close to the Links for the first quarter, at which time the score was 7-5.

Do You Have Ergophobia? Watch Out! It's Catching! All of us at one time or another have the urge just to sit down and let everything drop. You get tired of school or your job and you feel like quitting there and now, but that isn't always so easy to do. Yetyou must watch these emotions. Here is an article written by Walter E . Myer, which appeared in the January 27 issue of the American Observer : "Suppose you were told that you were a victim of ergophobia. You would, perhaps, be greatly worried. Your anxiety would not be eased if you were told further that this affliction is responsible for many failures in life, that it is an affliction which, if not thrown off, may rob its victims of the satis• faction of rewards of which they dream. If you should consult your physician he would probably tell you that there .was not much that he could do about it, that the remedy was in your own hands. You would be warned that it should have immediate and concentrated attention ; that, if not attended to, it would fasten itself more firmly upon you, r endering a cure more difficult. By consulting your dictionary, you will see that ergophobia is defined as "aversion to work!" It is another term for laziness. But however it may be defined, it is serious enough. Laziness, if not overcome, will make a failure of one's work and of his . · prospects of success. No one should wor k all the time. There should be time for recreat ion and play and impulsive enjoyment. But there are others · when aversion to work must be conquered. One who sets about to overcome laziness should study his case carefully. Sometimes it is a matter of health. As a usual thing, the change should be in mental habits. In your classroom there are pr obably a number of cases of ergophobia. Some are light, others more serious. If you are one of the victims, do something about it . Do it quickly for the longer you wait, the harder it will be t o effect a cure. Habit is a pow· erful force." Habit is, indeed, a powerful force. It affects all of us one way or another. This means YOU. You who are in high school have the golden opportunity to select your subjects to prepare yourself for your chosen vocation. You have the chance to get t he full benefit out of high school. Make use of it! ! !
Red Cross Renews Elforts Three-Fold Plan Followed Today marks the second day of the annual Red Cross drive. This drive, lasting from March 4 to 11, is sponsored by the . American Red Cross and has been an annual Red Cross a ctivity for many years. Dur ing t he war some 75,000,000 persons were aided throug4 the Red Cross, an_d $152,000,000 were spent in food and supp lies. But because t h e war is over, does n ot mean that t he Red Cross has eased up on its effor ts. On the contrary, t his year t he Red Cross is following a t hree-fold plan : counseling and aiding veterans, including ·the provision of recr eation for veterans in vet er ans' hospitals; overseas relief in warr avaged countries, and a continued program of recreation and service t o men overseas; f urnishing aid in emergencies and disasters h ere in t he United States. This past year· appr oximately $50,000,000 has been spent in medical and hospital s upplies, and some 1,100,000 veter ans and t heir families have been aided t hrough t he Red Cross service. The plan of providing recreation in t he veterans' hospitals was recently i_nitiated . during World War IT. The Red Cross had never before combined wit h the Veterans' Administration in assisting in government h ospitals. This new program includes help from volunteer s, such as t he arts and skills corps, hospital and recreation corps, nurse's aides corps and the Gray Ladies. A most important br anch of the American Red Cr oss is the J unior Red Cross. This division boasts of nearly 20,000,000 members and takes an active part in a ll R ed Cross affairs. This year t he national goal is $60,000,000 of which Lancaster's share is $51,556. This is a senior drive only. Lincoln high's quot a will be met t hr ough the voluntary aid of the faculty in Lincoln high. You, the st udents are not being asked to participate in the nation-wide drive. But, your families will help out. A little goes a long way when you give it to the Red Cr oss. ·

Electroencephlography Proves Useful In Diagnosis of Injury to the Brain
IIn The Classes I
Th e electr oencephlogram, a new machine used for brain t esting, is coming into a wider use all over t he coun try, according to Dr . Robert J. Stein, neur ologist and psychiatrist. To determine the nature of the t rouble of the mind and where the trouble is located in the head is the purpose of the machine. " This invention is a great aid in r eaching conclusions concerning mental cases. some problems almost impossible to solve clinically can be detected accurately by t he electroencephlogram. A t echnician must be trained in app lying electrodes, running the machine and removing electrodes," Dr. Stein stated. Applying electrodes consists of fastening small, circular, disklike, metal cups to the head in eight places with thr ee others used as grounds, on both the right and left sides of t he head. The four lobes of t he br ain over· which t he electrodes are· placed ar e the frontal, parietal, motor and occipit al. The grounds are used on the ears and in the middle of the forehead. The electr odes are applied with collodion which dries quickly and fastens the electrode to the head. The machine is r un with little difficulty althou gh to t he observer it appears to be a complicated set of dials. There are many factors which enter into the accuracy of the reading of t he electroencephlogram. If an electrical storm is in progress, int erference is noted. Moving elevator s in the building, other electrical appliances and sometim es the state the p atient causes bad r eadings. Dr. Stein was graduated from t h e Albany state hospital in Al-

Student Behavior During R ecent Gam es Is Praised by Citizenship Committee By F ra.n Wallace and P atsy Gaddis The citizenship committee wants to compliment the students of Lincoln high school on their fine . ·conduct at the r ecent · games. For t he first time in y ears, opposing players are being applauded upon their introduction. The kind of t r ouble Lincoln h igh has had happens in schools everywhere, but b ecau se Lincoln high is consist ently one of the top teams of Nebraska, more attention is dr awn to u s a nd we should set a fine example. To help the campaign. for better citizenship in Lincoln h igh, t he citizen ship committee h as prepared a list of suggestions for games that good citizens should follow. 1. Recognize and cheer outstanding perform ances. Be constructive r ather than destructive. 2. Respect the d ecisions of of·
ficials. They know t he rules and we hir e them. It is easier to be critical t han correct. 3. Treat our opponents as guests, for our teams m ust t ravel and play away from home too. Do unto other s as you would have t hem do u nto you. 4. Give the "Star Spa ngled Banner" proper respect. To do this, we stand at attention and k eep quiet. 5. Russian peanut seeds on the floor may cause an injury to one of the players and shooting water g uns at others who ar e trying t o watch the game only brings out t he poor sportsmanship in us. 6. With the tournament coming up, the pupils of Lincoln high will b e especia]Jy watched, so remember--:-If you can't take part in sports, be a good one. We, t he citizenship committee, know you will come through as you have always done in t he past.

The student spends $7.80 a year for books; $8.84 for candy and peanuts; movies $27.00; recordings $9.10, and soft drinks $7.80. Influence Family Spending, The family choice of brands was believed to be affected by the student, although they do not believe that they wield much influence ·i n the choice of airplanes, washing machines, or r efrigerators. Many believ~d that they could help their parents decide upon the kind of automobile that they would purchase. Among the boys, stamp collections, building model · planes, sports, photography, and collecting coins are the most popular hobbies, in that order. The girls preferred collecting pictures, collecting stamps, music, records and photography. The Institute believes, "High school students form not only ·a huge potential market for all types of products, but make up a huge market and inj}uence even a larger one for a great number of products right now.'.'

The theme for t he convention was 'Christ Is Able.' Music and entertainment were furnished by the young people attending." Dorothy and Ruth went swimming in the ocean t wo times, once at Santa Monica and once at Long Beach. They went to Catalina island and down ir:to Mexico.

Open Forum To the Editor: Why isn't there intramural baseball in Lincoln high'? Football has its north field organization to accommodate the boys interested in it. Basketball has its reserve and sophomore teams, also an afterschool league for basketball. Track is taking all the boys interested in it. Why hasn't baseball done this? Baseball interest is coming back to Lincoln. There are many students who would be interested in a baseball league in school. This would not only benefit the. school itself in preparing and seasoning players, like a major league farm team, but would also be of interest and enjoyment to many students, thereby gaining a better understanding and a greater skill in America's national sport. How about it? An interested stude.nt, Jack Lange
First Call Ont For Diamondmen Baseball candidates are to. be called this week and we hope that we have a record number of boys answering the call. It is possible that if we have enough boys interested in hardball that we could f or m an intramural baseball league. Come on, you baseball boys; let's see how many boys are interested. We are planning an intramural softball league this spring under the direction of Coach Weyand. This league should gain in popularity and interest. All boys should plan now to play either hardball or softball this spring. RALPH W. BEECHNER, Director of Athletics.

He was seen pushing a trophy in t he form of a wooden duck down the middle of the University of Nebraska swimming pool. The reason for th.i s u nusual behavior, his swimmers had ~ust won the state meet and they had requested that if they won they would like to see him do that little act. Emery had on his street clothes during the meet up to the divin2'. That's when it all b~. Some of t he boys on the team came J.lP to him at that time, and asked him if he would like to try on a swimming suit. He put on the suit and after his team had won the meet he obliged the boys by jumping off the high board little wooden duck, which ' is t he into the water and pushing the traveling state swim trophy, the full length of the pool. As far as the meet fas concerned Emery said, "The boys all turned in their best times with only one or two exceptions." The next meet is with Boys Town at Boys Town. Big Bob Pierce tucked aw ay two scoring championships last Friday n ight when he potted seven field goals and six free throws for 20 points against Norfolk.

Do You Need Help for Registration? DID YOU KNOW? That girls can take auto mechanics? Evidently eight L.H.S. girls did, for Margaret Chamberlin, Barbara Buck, Joan Mockett, Hazel Wilson, Phyllis Holcomb, Marilyn K ieck, Betty Tarpley and Marga,ret Harrison don their cove r alls every second period and change a battery or clean a spark plug. P. S.-Guilford Burnham says they do very well, too. The elective course is auto mechanics, electric and motor tune up, including cleaning and testing ignition points, testing generators, coils and condensers, electric diagnosis, ·that is, deciding why the car stops. Then of course it includes general road service, when a jalopy breaks down . Did you know? That b oys, too, can take shorthand? This class is offered to both boys and girls, whether in the commercial curriculum or not. Shorthand is very helpful not only for outside jobs, but also is a "life-saver" for taking lectures in university. L.H.S. offers 4 semesters of shorthand. A pupil may take as many semesters as he . wi·shes. This is definitely not a girls' course. Did you know? All Lincoln high sen iors are eligible to try out for the senior choir. From all of those who try out, 95 to 100 are selected.

a person has to be an apprentice for at least six years," replied ·William Heuser when asked what a person needs to qualify. He said that four years of apprenticeship used to be required, but this was later raised to six. During this time a candidate learns the keyboard and fundamentals ·of type setting. Befor e being an apprentice, a person has to pass several examinations, both mental and physical, which are given by the linotype operators' union, "There is quite a bit of skill required to be a linotype operator," said Mr. Heuser, "You have to be alert and your fingers must be very limber in order to be able to operate the machine." He said that after the type is set, it is. put into the form needed for the pages of magazines or newspapers. It is then locked up and proofread and from there taken to press. "There- is really nothing special that a writer can do to make it easier for us because w e have a typed copy in front of us and do not have to bother about illegible handwriting," he said.

" The Lost Soul" is merely the copy of this story telling about the processes that story must go through before it is printed in the Advocate. (OH! That Stung.) First the article is placed into a wire basket after it is written by a reporter. It is then copy read by the news editor and the copy readers. It is passed to the typist who gives it a new body and it then r eceives its head from a copy reader or the page editor. The next stop is the hospital. (The J ournal newspaper office to you .) In the h ospital it is printed on a long strip of paper and sent back with other stories to the Advocate office. The page editor pastes it on a dummy sheet with other stories• and sends it back to the Journal w here it goes through the last procedure, printing, before returning to be distributed a mong the Advocate readers. This is a brief tale of a copy that forgot that it was a story and not some high-class human, and so h e appealed. to the public to help him fi11d his lost self,

The audience rose a n d sang the first stanza of America while homage was being paid to the American flag by the Danes. Gracefulness and ease of the women amazed the crowd while the flexibility a nd muscular coordination of the men made the people gasp with awe. The girls displayed skill and body control in their demonstration of drills while. balancing with ease on beams. Attracting the crowd's attention with a dance called the Frierdans, were Birthe Chriphersen, Copenhagen, and Helge Thorup (women's 10 meter diving champion of Denmark). Top performance of the evening was presented by the men in their difficult gymnastic stunts. T he crowd marveled and cheered· at the exact precision and timing of the men. As th e stunts became harder and harder, t he faster and more accurately they .were performed. The Danish stress gymnastics more than the Americans do. T hey play ver y little if any, games such

While guests of the radio program, "Your University Speaks," a few of them stated that the dress of th e two countries were much alike, but that the quality of material was much poorer. They also added that the girls in Denmark wore less make-up than the average American. The team was picked from all parts of Denmark and practiced as a group for six weeks before beginning their good will t our. They have very little time to practice when they are on the road and only when they remain in one p lace for sometime they brush up on their program. The program is not a commercial enterprise.

A current Life magazine is running an article regarding them, and a short movie is to be made of these Danes.

"Come Soon, T omorrow" is a story of the vocal career of Emmy Norton, written by one w ho should know, Gladys Swarthout. This is a highly colorful book por• traying in an i nteresting manner, a young girl's musical career from the moment she begins her hard-won lessons to the ;moment when she is swamped in her dressing room by ardent admirer s of her interpretation of the vi• vacious gypsy, Carmen, on the Metropolitan opera stage. T his book is treated in a dif· ferent and highly interesting way, Emmy is first seen as she is ready to begin her portrayal of the lovely, gay gypsy, Carmen. Then the how, why, and when of it all is shown. Her debut to the world of music comes when she sings the Ave Maria from Bruch's "Cross of Fire" with the. Minneapolis sym• phony orchestra; A fter ·the first concert, she is v ery much in demand. Her first performance in opera is with a small Chicago company which performs in the Italian section of that city. From then on, her star rises h igher and higher while she ever reaches for the top which to · her is the Metropolitan opera, where sh e hopes one day to sing .the title role in the Spanish opera, " Car.. men." For those who are interested in music of any sort, t his is a very worthwhile book and for those who a re not, it is still worthy in i;11e Iield or enterta inment.

A group of boys slightly damaged the north double doors of the addition on the east side, when t heir automobile hit the doors last Monday morning. The doors were damaged once before by a laundry truck a month or two ago, but were not replaced because of the shortage of required material. Garret Slote, carpenter at Lincoln high, estimated the damage to be around $15 to $20 for repairs. Mr. Slote stated that they w ould need about three men to remove the door in order to repair the damage. It w ill probably take more than one day for the men ~o fix the doors.

They should be a warning for some to settle down and start to work, and en~ouragements to those .w ho have been trying to improve their work, and praise to those valiant, struggling souls who have labored long to receive high marks. The reports were taken home to parents so that they might know how well, or poorly their off·

Orchestra ·and Choir to Give Spring Vespers Marilyn Harms Takes Concert Solo on Sunday Advocate photo--Mlsko-Olney
Is spring really here? Officially it begins March 21, but In reality the question seems to be debatable. The chilly side of the question is shown by Jo Schacht, Carol Harris and Barbara Weishel, who are all bundled up in their winter togs apparently ready for the worst which lately has included snow, sleet and rain. Attired in gay spring outfits are Sondra Lotman, Margaret Trimble and Mattie Sue Nevels, attempting to show the sunnier side. · Spring is that time of the year when everyone begins to become eager for the good times that summer brings; Suddenly spring bursts forth in full bloom, in contrast to the rainy dull days which have preceded. Whether it comes tomorrow, the next day, or next week, these girls will be ready for spring in all its splendor.
Lincoln High's 'Junior Atom Smasher' Sends Lifesaving Rays Through Pupils Junior atom smasher has started its lifesaving work in Lincoln higp, according to T. A. Huffman, i;tate X-ray technician.

"This miniature atom smasher, better known as a portable chest x-ray machine, will help the state health department find those persons who have tuberculosis or some deformity of the chest, lungs or heart," the technician stated. By receiving early diagnosis and by giving these cases early treatment, future troubles or diseases may be prevented or greatly retarded. It is quite simple to get a chest x-ray. A pupil, when called out of class, goes into the nurse's office, 108, gets a card he filled out in his home room and gives it to an x-ray assistant who puts a number on the card which will correspond to the number on the · film of his chest. The person to be x-rayed then l eans his chest
with little trouble it can be set up any place where there is power enough to run it." X-rays are being taken of all high school students whose parents sign requests, teachers, cafeteria help, office help, and all ·those employed in the board of education building. Monday, March 10, the first day for x-raying, 299 pupils were x-rayed; Tuesday 355; Wednesday 296; Thursday 368. About 93 percent of the pupils are being photographed at the rate of 50 or 60 an hour. "I'd like to add just one thing," stated Mr .. Huffman, "and that is, I wish all the pupils in Lincoln high would go home after they have had their chests x-rayed and tell their parents how it is d~ne. Try to get their parents to hav.e a x-ray when this unit comes to their neighborhood. There is a

Nebraska's state health department is sponsoring these free x-ray tests which cost around one dollar per picture. The department plans to send this portable machine to Fort Crook in Omaha when the tests are completed in Lincoln high by the end of this week. Another machine housed in a trailer has been at Northeast high school, Union college and College View in Lincoln. When Mr. Huffman was asked what the difference between a machine of this type and one in a doctor's office is, he replied, "They are basically the same except this machine is not equipped to take x-rays of all parts of the body, but with a few attachments
than there is of· the high school age with T.B. If the parents were conscious of the danger ·of ·T.B. they would do more to fight the disease. This new x-ray equipmen will pay for itself if it saves only one life a year."

World's Second Largest Food Industry Plays 'Big Roll' in Growing Community "The bakery plays a big role ln a growing community," stated a local baker." It's the second largest food industry in the world." For the boys in Lincoln· high that are interested in baking, there are two large schools in this area, the American Institution of Baking and the Dumwoody Baking school, both at Chicago. There, one can learn all the technical parts about baking. Also, a number of lard and yeast companies have schools for young men interested in baking. There are five types of bakeries, the large wholesale, the house-tohouse, the large retail, the small retail and the big chain bakeries.

All Juniors Must Tal\.e New Course History Course On Governn1ent Because of the recent change in social studies requirements, world history· 2 must now be taken in the first semester of the junior year to allow the new required course,' modern problems, to be taken in the senior year. American history 1 must be taken in the second semester of the junior year and American history 2 in the first semester of the senior year. The idea that four semesters of history is all that is required is not true. The four history courses must be the ones named above. There are also elective · courses offered, world history 1, Greek history, Roman history and economics. Becaus·e of this change, moder n problems will be changed· to a course of study dealing with real modern problems confronting young people today. Examples include crime waves, juvenile delinquency, organized labor, social security, race problems, interna• tional problems before our government as well as the United Na· tions. Time will be given for a discussion of personal problems, family relationships, social problems of the community, recr(~ation and problems of the consum~r.

Girls' Adviser Talks to P.T.A. "Should all students finish high school?" was the topic of Miss Dorcas Weatherby, Lincoln high girls' adviser, in speaking to . the Irving junior high i(ichool ParentTeachers Association and ninth grade pupils, Tuesday, March 4. "Here in Lincoln we provide quite varied programs so that nearly everyone of those finishing junior high school should find a curriculum in high school which interests him and in which he can do satisfactory work," explained Miss Weatherby to the assembled gr oup. She stated that the problems of the incoming sophomores is being able to plan their subjects so as to get the most out of their particular curriculums. "It takes careful planning on the part of the individuals, their parents, and their teachers," she added. Also speaking at the panel discussion were Dr. Arthur L. Miller, Glenn Dorsey, Rev. R. Core, and Miss Fern Hubbard, supervisor, who explained distributive education for Lincoln secondary schools. Miss Hubbard, a teacher at Lincoln high school, is also on the city . council. A program put on by the Irving junior high pupils followed the discussions.

Reps Discuss Tardinesses What is to be done about the increasing number of tardinesses was the first topic. discussed at the regular meeting of the home room representatives, Wednesday, March 12.

Last week . only 17 home r ooms out of 66 h ad no tardinesses. The representa• tives were instructed not only to encourage the members of their home rooms to be prompt, but al• so to set a good example by al· ways being on time to home room themselves. It was announced at this meet· ing that the contributions for the bronze plaque, which the reps collected in the home rooms, amounted to well over $200.

Teacher-Pupil Cooperation Solves Promptness Problem Did you ever stop to think why people run in the halls? Try it sometime. It's a very interesting problem. The majority of pupils in Lincoln higlf get to their classes on time. But there are always a few who invariably come in late. It seems as though they just can't quite make it. No matter how much time they are given, it never seems to be enough. Of course, there are times when one simply can't get to class on time. There are unexpected things that will come up; accidents do happen. But if the students and teachers would work together on this problem, it wouldn't be very hard to solve. If the teachers ·knew that the students were really trying to get to their classes on time, that they were making an effort not to be late, they would be far more understanding. And if the· students knew that if they are late and have a legitimate reason for being so, they wouldn't need to run in the halls, but could rely upo;n the teachers' understanding. See how easy it could be? There are a few students who think it's clever to come into class just after the bell has rung. They attract attention that way. Xhe class laughs, the student thinks it's smart and will do it again. But if the class on the whole has made a conscientious effort to get there on time, they aren't going to like the person who strings in just after class has started, and that person is going to feel mighty silly when he isn't being given the attention hei had hoped to get. . Cooperation, ahhh, that's what we need. Cooperation, not by one party, but by both. Both faculty and students must see 'eye-toeye'. Without cooperation, the 45-minute lunch schedule couldn't have been carried out. So let's see if we can't straighten out this problem of running in the halls. The students will try, really try, to get to their classes on time, and if a student is late the teacher will listen to reason. ' Cooperation is the keynote to a better finer school life. '
Habits Play Large Part in Lile; How Do Yours Rate? What kind of tracks are you making? Did you ever st~p to think about them? Have you ever really stopped, or even slowed down, in the busy whirl of high school life, work and fun, long enough to take a backward look? Try it sometime and see what sort of pattern you're making with those strollers and saddles of yours as you scuff along life's road. None of us has gone very far down that road yet, but that's an. the more reason to watch our steps. . You have a chance really to start the trip right, to lay the foundation for a happy and prosperous future. When boys and girls are in high school, they're busy with loads of things, a nd are very likely to neglect serious thoughts of the future. That can be dangerous. One may not realize it, but everything he or she does, no matter how little, is going to have some effect on his future life. Every time you do something once, then twice, then again, you are forming a habit, just a little habit. But each time you do it, it becomes easier to do the next time. Unconsciously, we let an impulse travel from our brain over our nervous system. The first time we must tell ourselves what to do; the impulse moves slowly. But the next time the nerve r ecognizes the impulse and sends it faster, easier; and the next time easier yet, until it forms a little path which is travels easily. Later fn life these paths become roads and highways, which are. very hard to t ear up. A small habit formed now, may grow and grow until it is so strong it is very difficult to break. That's why it's important to take a backward look at what you've neen doing. What sort of habits are you forming? Good ones? Or are they unconsciously being formed into bad ones? Discourtesy to friends, acquaintances or t eachers, though done unmeaningly, can become a habit, as can laziness or tardiness. Take procrastination (now here's a word) for instance. Putting off things is so easy to do, but often those things (like studying) that are put off never get done. This is no sermon, but rather a suggestion, even though it isn't the usual t ime for making resolutions. It's spring, when all the fresh little green things start popping out all over and when "young man's fancy turns." Why not let your fancy turn to thoughts of making the right kind of habits. It's not guaranteed, but it has been known to win friends and influence people.

" Varsity L etters," by Fraitklin M. Reck, is a big attraction for any sports-minded fan, fqr it is packed with adventures of typical American athletes in the minor as well as the major sports of today. Your favorite sports-football, baseball, basketball and swimming, are in this book, while the less prominent spor ts-hockey, t ennis, golf and the m ore unfamiliar to the a verage American but just as thrilling gport of water polo, create just as many exciting moments in their victories intermingled with defeats, as the major events do. The coaches of State College in Varsity Letters can spin sports legends of their local heroes by the hour. There's the shortstop who talked too much, and the ciowning pitcher who allowed thirteen runs and then won the game with some insane base running. Then t her e's the Gawk, who thought he could b eat the · swimming world with a double trudgen,,· and the hockey player who insisted on wearing a red r ose taped to his uniform. Not to be forgotten was the basketball cent er who fancied himself as an amateur detective. It is not a book entirely devoted to the championships and victories of State College. They are in it, for every school has its "ups" as well as its " downs." But there are the defeats and the important iessons men learn from experience in their chosen field. The t eam co-operation, the humor of the players in a tight moment and the importance of being the u nderdog and not the star for the benefit of the school, are highlighted in Franklin M. Reck's book of sports. Other books having t o do with sports are "Iron Duke," "Yea Wildcats" and "World Series," by John R. Tunis. "Seventeenth Summer" by Maureen Daly is another all-time favorite, a story dealing with " " bc.1 problem occurring to all teenagers. The "Sea Hawk" by Sabatini, ' 'Tom Sawyer " and "The Advent ures of Huckleberry F inn" by Clemens, "Lassie Come Home'; by Knight, "My Friend Flicka" and " Tunderhead" by O'Har a are a list of books always .in demand. The new book, "Green Grass of Wyoming," written by the same author as "My Friend Flicka" and "Thunderhead," will soon be on the shelf and should certainly be a must on your reading list.

In America it has been celebr ated by banquets and feasts since the formation of many of the earliest colonies and is still recognized today, ·though on a somewhat smaller scale. St Patrick receives the credit for having given Ireland many of its traditions. One of these, which is believed to be authentic, is that In an effort to explain · to the !rish people the myster y of the Trinity, he plucked a shamrock and said that the three leaves rep. r esented the three persons of the Trinity and that the stem on which they grew represented the godhead and was typical of the unity of three in one. Many persons who use this and other symbols for table decorations .during the days preceding and those who wear them on St. Patrick's day do not realize that they may have such significant meanings,

Classes Deserted Because of Flu, Bmketball Games Mr. Flu and the basketball games tend to have a great deal of influence in the attendance r ecord at Lincoln high. Some classes were almost completely depleted while in other classes only one-third or one-half of the groups were missing the last two periods of school on March i3. The morning absence list recorded ·more than 200 pupils out of school, while around 500 students were excused for the Northea~t-Creighton Prep game and the Grand Island-McCook game fourth and fifth periods. Not only were pupils absent last week but alos a number of teachers. Ten members of the faculty were out Wednesday and five were out Thursday. Because of the lack of substi-

Hitler Youth Taught Nazi Way of Life Under Disguise of Scholastic Training "Although I saw many building11 in Europe while I was t here, none of them were more beautifully built and constructed than a German s chool · for t r aining young men of high school age in Hohr Grenhausen, Germany," said Elvin Donnelly, now a student at the University of Nebr aska, and · formerly a m aster sergeant in the U. S . parat roopers. "This training school was three stories high and a quar ter of a block long," Mr. Donnelly continued. "It was finished in wh ite marble with huge swastikas inlaid in it and over the main entrance, a huge German flag waved. Inside of the school was a statue or bust of .Hitler and his henchmen in every room a nd in the halls t here w as placed a statue of the former dictator every few yards." Mr. Donnelly . went on to say that boys of ages sixteen to eighteen were forced to go to this school to learn the Nazi way of life. Although t hese boys were t aught many things such as chemistry, language, mathematics and physics, all of these brought in by some t actful method, the Nazi way of life. "The boys went to this sch ool from two to four years," Mr. Donnelly continued, "and when they had learned everything that was required of them, they would go directly into the German army• The ones that graduated with h onors would get important positions in the Gestapo and then m ost of them would be sent to some country that had been occupied by the Germans." Mr. Donnelly also related the f act that the slogan of the school was "Nation Over Self" and this slogan was pounded into every boy until he believed in nothing else. "Now that the war is over, the American troops have taken over this sch9ol," Mr,' Donnelly said, and all the books that were made
Speech, Appearance, and Personality Essential Factors in Applying for Jobs "Students employed at Miller & Paine learn an d act quickly, but they lack the j udgment which older employees have;'' said Miss Marie Weesner, director .of personnel at Miller 's. "They ate very capable workers, but often they are working only t emporarily, and are not planning t o make selling t heir life w ork." The boys get their start in the stock room and are not very often seen on the selling floors. The girls, however, are errand or mail girls, work in the gift wrapping deparament and after some experience make their appear ance on the selling floor s. "If high school stu dents plan to ;;o in.t n the business of buying and selling as a car eer, there are cer tain subjects which they coUld take that would definitely help them," continued Miss Weesner . "They should take all the mathematics that they possibly can to help them in figtrting. English is very essent ial! An employer would not put anyone on the selling floor who could not speak cor r ect English. This type of person would cer tainly not be a credit to the store. Good spelling and a legible handwriting are also very n ecessary."
IIn The Classes I
As a rule, Miller's employs persons sixteen years of age or over, but during the war this rule was broken. Because of t he lack of labor, there were students, under 15 years of age, who worked there with a permit from the board of education. "Appearance is one- of the biggest and most important factors, when applying for a job," continued Miss Weesner. "If a high school gir l enters my office wearing a 'sloppy joe' sweater, chewing gum and standing very awkwar dly in run-over shoes, I immediately get a bad impression of her and in my mind's eye, i must try to imagin e what she would look like tidied up." P ersonality and interest in t he job are other important :factors. If a prospective employee possesses a sparkling smile, an . interesting and intelligent personality, plus politeness·, Miss Weesner could quickly imagine how she would be received on a L!lelllng floor. At the present time, a number of senior girls from Lincoln high school are being instructed for selling work. They are in the distr ibutive education cirriculum and are working during their free period.
for t he expr ess purpose of t each• ing young men t he Nazi way of life have been destroyed or rew ritten by expert American and English writers who have revised them so well that they would be safe for any boy in the world t o read and to study." Mr. Donnelly concluded by say .. ing that one of the hardest jobs confronting the allies is . that of teaching the young generation of Germany new ideas for govern• ment and life. " They h ave lived by the slogan 'Nation Before Self' for so long that it is only natural t hat they believe this is the only way for Germany and the German people to exist," Mr. Donnelly said, "and so it is that the people who vol= u nteer to tea ch thesa. y oung people other ways of living have a tremendous task and responsibility, b ecause in their h ands lies either peace or· war for the world of twenty-five y ears from now.''

Art of Makillg Over Old and Used Furniture Girls See Home Entirely Done in Remade Pieces How a home may be made attractive and comfortable by fixing up old furniture, was explained to the home economics 12 classes, Wednesday, The classes, with Miss Ethel Etmund, visited the home of Dr. and Mrs. Glen Johnston. Mrs. Johnston has made over practically every piece of her furniture from something else. A perfect example is the guest room. Bedroom Attractive A doubledeck bed, bought for $12.00, was cut down to twin Hollywood style beds. Curved headboards were cut out of wood and fitted in. An old vanity dresser was torn apart, each set of the little drawers being painted and made into an end table, one for each bed. A radio was put in one of the drawers, and the side was cut out so the radio could be turned on and off without a person getting out of bed. The mirror was then hung over a chest which had been made over from an old dresser. Curtains, bedspread, lamp shades, and chair upholstering had been made out of the same material by Mrs. Johnson. The dining room had small windows which needed to be enlarged so as to coincide with the
fs
furniture in the room. Draperies were hung over the wall, coming to the sde of the window, giving the impression that the window was wider. The outstanding feature of the kitchen was the table designed by Mrs. Johnson. Fitting into the wall, it has only one leg. This saves washing four legs when they get dirty. It is roomier, also. Mexico Forms Them. The recreation room in the basement appeared to be the favorite of the girls. Old lawn furniture had been repainted and re-upholstered. Mrs. Johnson had made the lampshades out of construction paper and a shoestring. The base of one lamp was an empty bottle, which had contained antiseptic and was now filled with marbles. The curtains had been made by using crayola colors on the material and pressing the color in with a hot iron. Mexico was the theme, and bright fiesta dishes accented this even more.

in my present position." In close contact with returning war veterans, Mr. Selleck feels that these veterans are doing very well in securing an education. "Most of the boys are making better averages than the non veterans. I am sure a large percent will finish their courses and will go out into the world and work for some goal." He went on to say that these fellows will do all they can to prevent a third World war. "Looking into the future, I think through the United Nations organization the nations can be brought together for a lasting peace, but it will take a period of time as it took a long time to unib the United States." Mr. Selleck expressed G1e belie! that the world will see a great era of prosperity, great travel and. expansion and great international and national communication.
Jealousy Started Jack Wells on a Musical Career "High school people with talent for an art such as music or drawing, usually pass ,it off and succeed in something else," explained Jack Wells, staff announcer and pianist for K.F.A.B., as he idly fingered the keyboard of the piano. Later, he told of his start in the music world. Jack's sister, who is one and one half years younger than he, (he would not divulge his age) started to take music lessons and Jack became extremely jealous of her, so soon he, too, was taking lessons., After he had taken for a few years, he entered an amateur contest and won it. This was the start of his professional career. Jack played on the basketball team and the tennis team in high school in Blue Rapids, Kansas, his home town. When the war started, Jack en• listed in the army and spent some time overseas. After discharge, Lyle DeMoss, an old friend of Jack, started him in radio. Jack, like many of us, has a favorite song. Ever since he heard "Rhapsody in Blue" while still in high school, he has liked it very much. As for playing different types of pieces on the piano, he prefers corny ballads.

Many of the country's hotels or restaurants which are noted for their specialities, have, as chefs, men who started their cooking careers in much the same manner as Glenn and the other boys are now doing, so maybe in the future he will be fixing his own creations every day for one of these famous places. These boys, like many noted business men of the nation, may just have cooking as an interesting hobby.

It's about time you was bein' educated. Ain't your parents ever taught you nothin'? You'd think you was never taken to a concert or anything. Youse is a "square". (Pardon the_grammar, it's intentional.) Webster doesn't define square in the term we use it. In modern "cat" language a square is a character who is ignorant of surrounding conditions, a "cornfed farmer" with no appreciation :for anything whether it be a joke, modern music or-well, let's just settle with that. In other words, a square is a guy who would ask a band leader to play "Chickery Chick." Of course this is the unusual ~quare who has, shall we say "rocks in his head." For instance, the bandleader announces the next tune called "Apple Honey." The square is standing right down front listening to every word the leader says. He even tells his friends what the name af the tune is. Then, after tremendous applause and the usual ovations the square turns to the leader and asks "What was the name of the tune? I kinda' like it! It's pretty." The leader pulls his hair out while the square is stared at by his friends, who immediately "fluff" him. Now we come to the next puzzling word, "fluff." Fluff means to brush off or ignore completely. Of course you don't like being called a square or even being fluffed by your friends so you will be done a great favor presently. Most of the name bands tha.t pass through here are "brought down" (discouraged to you) by the little or no applause they receive. After all, they aren't machines to put nickels and dimes into. They are human beings. They appreciate applause and praise more than anything. The depth of modern big band jazz is too deep for the average person to conceive. It is so dense that when played correctly the sound combinations create interesting effects on the human mind. First they realize that this lack of response by the audience causes a definite "brought down" attitude with most name musicians or for that matter any profissional entertainer, This is the reason why
name bands don't enter the midwest more often. The better the musicians feel, the better the response :from the audience, the more knocked out they play. Take for example J. C. Higginbottob, brilliant Negro trombonist. He will pick out one certain per:.. son in the audience and fixiate a steady gaze on him. If the person likes the music and seems happy, J. C. will play the most wonderful chorus conceivable. But if the person acts bored or unhappy, J. C. won't play particularly well. Here are several easy steps to becoming a "cornfed farmer square": Use your judgment. 1. Rush madly up to the leader and ask for "Chickery Chick." 2. Don't applaud the band. Entirely ignore them. a. Sit on the bandstand and
knock. over the proiceless instru• men ts. 4. During intermission rush up lightly to the stand and blow everybody's instrument. (They will really appreciate that. In fact you might even get slugged.) 5. Act dumb and ask confus.. ing questions. The mort senseless, the better. 6. Ask •the leader to play the tune he just got through playing, over again. 7. Study algebra or physics while a sideman plays a terrific chorus. (solo) 8. Keep after the leader to play a tune he doesn't have, or know. Keep persisting, If you regard and practice these eight steps; you will be well on the way to being the world's worst square!! Enough said.

Student council decided in a meeting March 12 that guards will be stationed at only the entrances of the school with instructions to give advice to visitors and to keep track of all incoming strangers instead of the present plan whereby guards are stationed at various places throughout school. This plan is an attempt to solve the present situation in which passes are not being checked by hall guards and strangers are al• lowed to roam the building. The new guards will be instructed to oust any former pupils who are roaming the halls for no reason, They will be backed by the assistance of William Pfeiff, council adviser. The student council has intro.. duced a new E. C. A. checking system where two different members of the council will check each night. This plan was adopt. ed because of the extra burden forced on the council's E. C. A. committee by the checking of all Joy Night participants.

"Just because I like to cook," is the reason Glenn Smith, 16-yearold-junior, gives for beim.g in boys' cooking class, although he is in the business administration curricu_ lum. Cooking, singing, eating, sleeping and playing basketball are the things he enjoys doing most now. After he graduates, Glenn would like to be ,either a chef in one of the country's leading hotels or a singing master of ceremonies in a famous night spot. He thinks the cooking equipment in room 124 is sufficient, but that the electric stove should be wired so it can be used. Each boy's equipment includes, firstly the large white apron, mixing and measuring spoons, measuring cup and an egg beater. There are also rolling pins, double boilers, potato mashers, muffin tins and for help iri cleaning up, dish P.ans. Lately the boys have been planning and making balanced breakfasts and, although they are supposed to eat before coming to school, Glenn says, "Sometimes when we are sure of getting something to eat first period we just wait until then." Some main dishes of recent breakfasts have been oatmeal, eggs and flap jacks. These may be very helpful things to know, when in future years the boys may find it necessary to fix their

~ ~~- W/AW.J. By Chick Thompson. With the sounding of spring, aL tention is being turned from the basketball courts to the cinder tracks. Bill Pfeiff, last year's assistant track coach, will take over head track coaching chore vacated by athletic head Ralph , Beechner. Harold Scott will take over Pfeiff's duties as assitant coach. In the following weeks we will try to give you a glimpse of some of the more promising tr ackmen. Today we will concentrate on the muscle boys who throw the weights. Most valuable asset to the weight crew will be Don Batt, only returning weight letter man who specialized in the shot put last year. Don took a third at the State meet. Another returning regular is Bob George. Bob took a third at the Columbus invitational. He earned a certificate. Bob has shown that he is going places as he hit 46' along with Don Batt in practice. Three returning certificate holders brighten the discus outlook. Bob Pierce, Bob Mockett and Harlan Lessman will be Lincoln mainstays this year. Last year Bob Pierce gathered a first in the Mo-Valley meet and a third in the regional meet. Despit the poor weather the boys have been practising for the past two weeks. Wiltfang gathering in 8 markers to lead the rest of the scorers on the Lincoln team. Metzgar's five buckets and three free throws paced the Tiger attack. The summary: Lincoln Mean f B . Good f J.

Before 11,000 cage fans, Gr and Isla nd 's cage cr ew squeezed past a h ard fighting Lincoln band 40-36 .for the 1947 class A basketball championship' Saturday night at the coliseum. The ga:ne was in doubt till the last 60 seconds of play, as both teams played torrid ball with the lead changing hands e ight times a nd being tied three times. Lincoln started like a house afire and built an 11-5 lead in the middle of the first quarter, then went on to a 15-10 first quar ter advantage. Tie in Second . As the whistle for the second q uarter blew, Gr and Island sparked and tied Lincoln at 16 a ll, a nd 17 all, then went on to p ull ahead to 24-19 lead only to have the lead out 24- 22 by h alf time. Lincoln came ba ck in the third quarter to build a 33-32 lead, but the Islanders erased this with a free throw by Toft and a basket by Lucht. Lincoln came back with a free throw by Gerlach and a tip-in by Pierce to build a 36- 35 lead with 2¥2 minutes to go, but Lucht hit a free throw to tie it at 36 all. Toft hit a basket to lead 38- 36.

Easter, the Time of Lilies and Egg Hunts, Evolved From Christian and Pagan Customs Easter Sunday is a gloriously happy and wonderful occasion because it marks the resurrection of the Saviour and of Nature. Somehow the world becomes more beautiful at Easter time and in contrast to the dark days and months which have preceded, the 'b eauty of Easter is, truly thrilling. Since the earliest time, the Easter season has been a time of gorgeous flowers, and most popular as an Easter flower is the lily, ·a symbol of purity and holiness. The.idea of dressing up on this day was both pagan and Christian in origin. With Nature bedecked in fresh and attractive raiment, it was thought only fit·ting that peol>l' .too-. sli~uld signa:llze the greatchaage.-,'Xhis custdm
of donning new clothes became such a fixed and universal one that nonobservance was considered a forerunner of bad luck. A new bonnet is to assure happiness in love during the year. The egg, which is used in Easter egg hunts on this day, is regarded as an emblem of life, of a beginning. Some early religious groups · beli,eved the secret of life to be within the egg and regarded it as a token. or symbol of creation. The custom of coloring eggs appears to be exceedingly ancient. It would seem logical to suppose that they were colored to imitate the new colors of the earth, induced by the coming of spring and blossoming of flowers, but when first started by the Chris-
tion church, the eggs were decorated chiefly in red to denote the blood of Christ. A quaint old custom in a modern setting is that of rolling eggs down the green at the White House in Washington every Easter Sunday. This custom is possibly to simulate ecstacy at the Resurrection. Eggs originally came to be associated with Easter because they could not be eaten during Lent, and on Easter Sunday they were served at the meals. Easter !'alls on the first Sunday following the Paschal full moon following tbe rlpring Equinox. Green, yellow and white should be the color scheme for parties during the ,Easter, season, and for table decoratio~'' 'on Easter day.

Spring Vacation Welcomed By Teachers -and Pupils
Join First A.id Detachment to Acquire Extra Physical Education Requirement
Spring vacation will be here in just two more days! That is the joyous thought which is occupying a corner of many a L. H. S. students' mind. Spring! a beautiful time of the year when the weather gets warmer, birds sing for joy, and a boy or girl's mind. often wanders from the thoughts of school work to thoughts of summer days and of being outdoors (and even, perhaps, of skipping school.) The chance to skip school (legally, that ls) is almost here. There is going to be one week vacation from the labors of school. Mr. Webster defines vacation as freedom from a duty, service, trouble or perplexity; a rest or leisure. That's exactly what spring vacation is, a rest from school which is a duty, trouble and perplexity, at one time or another. It means rest for the teachers, too. You may not realize it, but they really work hard trying to pound some knowledge into our thick craniums and the harder teachers work their pupils, the harder they have to work themselves. Spring vacation is welcome relief to both students and teachers, a good chance to take it easy, to catch up on some of that lost sleep and really to relax and not worry about school. · Friday, the teachers will give assignments but probably ones that can be finished during the class study period. They want a vacation free from checking papers and making out asignments and so, of course, they won't expect you to have to carry home a large stack of books to study. That is, unless you have been taking a nice vacation for the last six weeks, in which case you'd better take home a pile of books and really dig into some knowledge during that week. So here's hoping that everyone has a grand vacation and · will be able to come back to school afterward, feeling rested and refreshed, ready to finish off the semester right!

DID YOU KNOW?
L.H.S. is offering a new course, First Aid Detachment, recently established by the Red Cross. The object of this course is to organize squads consisting of five pupils each, which will be made available whenever and wherever first aid is needed in this building. Those interested should know that credit for this course applies on physical education requirements as well as obtaining advanced first aid Red Cross certificates. This class will start at the end of the first nine weeks. Pupils interested who have a standard first aid certificate should see C. W. Manthey this week in room 327.
P upils can take senior mathe~ matics instead of algebra 4 to complete a Inajor? This elective is offered in t he senior year. It consists of trigonometry, ~tatistics and business mathematics. Pupils also learn many short cuts by using the slide rule. Algebra .3 and 4 is F course consisting of logarithms, radicals, imaginary n umbers and graphs. Any pupil in school in any curriculum Inay take any or all the four semesters of bookkeeping which are offered. In bookkeeping the student learns to use the adding machine, how to check figures and perhaps most importtant, accuracy. In the second seInester he learns about the process of banking, including checks, business papers and invoices. In the last two semesters offered, b ookkeeping is applied to partnership and to corporations. Every pupil should take bookkeeping for, in keeping records and family budgets, it applies to home life. Salesmen, bookkeepers, engineers and stenographers, constructors, must all keep books.
Tardy Record Improves; Make This Week's Better The record of tardinesses in Lincoln high for the past week shows a remarkable change for the better. This is good news! This is what the home room representatives, their sponsors and the members of the pennant committee have been waking toward all year. The record until this week was a rather discouraging one, showing some home ro~ms to have as many as 12 or more tardinesses in one week. Now it seems that the efforts of these home room representatives were not in vain. Is this true? Can this fine record for one week be continued for the rest of the semester? Have the students in L. H. S. really noticed the tardy records, or was this last week just a streak of promptness that won't be continued? Not many students know just what all the pennant committee does to encourage promptness. Two members of the committee spend one period each week on the records of all the home rooms. On Monday mornings, the committee members go around to the home rooms, mark the numbers of tardinesses on the blackboard or pin up a prompt pennant on the bulletin board. Also on Monday mornings, two boys fix the thermometer chart above the bulletin board by the office, which shows the record of tardinesses in all home rooms. More students should notice this chart to see how their home rooms rate in comparison to the others. Last week was exceptionally good! , There were 27 home rooms with no tardinesses and one home room received one of the large pennants signifying four weeks with no tardinesses. Seventeen rooms had only one latecomer to mar their record and the greatest number of tardinesses any home room had was five. This should be the ideal week to try to follow every week. If each one of us would make an effort to be on time every day, we could not only keep this good record but even top it! "Nothing is more annoying than a tardy friend."-Plautus.

Easter Is Observed by Many People With Beautiful and Different Customs .:andles and colored lamps were lighted. People greeted each other with the w ords, "Christ is risen. He is risen indeed." This custom is still kept in part of the Greek church. Many different customs are preserved also in our own day. T her e are, of course, the Easter services, wit h their special lessons and hymns and sermons, with their · beautifully adorned churches, bedecked with flowers of spring. But in addition. to these, other interesting customs are foHowed. The Moravian churches, for example, send out trumpeters and choirs early Easter morning t o play ~d sing Easter hymns in t he streets of the. cities. Then at the hour of sunrise, the w orshipers gather in their churches for the service, and after the service all proceed t o the cemetery, w here beautiful services are held, expressing hope in the resurrection of the dead.

Pierce Receives IJlriA and ]Jud I Diamon~en Open Against '.All State Honors; Bunnies GI Has Two
\
Bob Pierce, Lincoln high's ace center, was awarded an all-state berth by both the Lincoln Newspapers and the Omaha WorldHerald in their final selections. Pierce, who was the most feared player in high school play, scored a total of 319 points in 24 games to set a scoring record for a Lincoln high player. Also figuring in his selection was his fine per formances under the bankboard all throughout the season and his ability t o break up the enemy's offense by blocking passes. Two Grand Islanders, Ray Lucht and Dale Toft, gained positions on the squad with their fine showings on offense and defense. Lucht was the high scorer for the Islanders and the sparkplug who had them m oving at a fast clip all year. Toft was chosen as the state's best defensive player and is the only junior on the team. These t wo were also the one-two scoring punch of the state championship squad as they gathered 466 points between them. Rounding out the Lincoln Newspapers selections were Ed Scott of St. Joseph of Atkinson and Ralph Weddle of Nebraska City, Scott hit for the amazing total of 582 points for t he season while Weddle · proved to be a one-man team for Nebraska City with his all ar ound p erformances. Fritz Davis of Northeast and Henry Zich of Omaha North were chosen for the two remaining positions on the World-Herald team. Zich was one of the top performers in the Omaha area and ·finished in first place in the InterCit y scoring race. Davis, like Weddle, proved to be a one-man gang. He was a fine shot and a great defensive player. and · performed brilliantly all through the season. Dick Means, Lincoln high's ace shot maker, was put at a forward position on the Lincoln Newspapers second team. He was probably the best set-shot in the state and was tabbed as one of the four players who pressed for all-state h onors on the World-Herald squad. John Moore received h on orable mention as a guard from the Lincoln Newspapers.
Debate Team Returns From Wentworth Trip Debating at Wentworth military academy against N. F. L. champions from Springfield were Keith F itch and Paul Galter, representing Lincoln High. Maintaining the standing, they defeated Springfield by a 3-0 decision. The t eam was put out of the running only by split decisions from St. Louis, Missouri; Carthage -and Pueblo, Colorado. Teams were debating from Wisconsin, Colorado, Missouri and Nebraska. Miss Florence Jenkins stated that .the judging was based pr imarily on how people delivered t heir remarks rather than what they said.

New Sports Plans Finished Plans for an ent irely new fishing and hunting program which has never been tried before in Nebraska have recently been completed. Lincoln high has been chosen as the first site of this new program which is open to both boys and girls. The program will consist of classes which will be held after school from about 3:30 to 4:15. The state game and forestation department and the Izaak Walton league will send instructors to these classes who will instruct students on the proper methods of hunting and fishing. This instruction will be given through pictures, lectures, but more often through actual experience. The casting will probably take place on the lot north of t he building. "There are very .f ew students who fish who know t he correct method of casting, applying bait, etc." said Ralph Beechner, Lincoln high's head athletic director, who will have charge of the progr am. He stated that through this project it is hoped that students may graduate from Lincoln high with a better understanding of fishing and hunting. Hunting instructions will probably take place in the fall and will pertain m ainly t o handling a gun. The state game and forestation department hopes that throu gh this begii:ining at Lincoln high the project will spread t o various sections of the state and eventually to other states. Mr. Beechner is very enthusiastic a bout the project and hopes that ther e will be a big turnout.

Modern Problems Deals With Stu.dent Hardships A new graduation requirement had been added in Lincoln high. This course is modern problems. The new requirement will become effective next fall, which means that those who are at present sophomores and juniors will take it to fill requirements to graduate. Miss Dorcas· Weatherby explained to a meeting of the home room representatives that most of the complaining among the juniors was unnecessary, that when 'they understood more about the requirement there would be no need to complain. Here is the whole story about the modern problems requirement. It is being required ~s a result of legal action of the board of education, so it's here to stay for good. It is not a history course! It is not the same as the present course being taught under that name in Lincoln high. This means that it won't be hard to take it with American history. But it would be better to take it after finishing American history, or duri,n g American history 2. Just what is this modern problems course? It is primarily a study of the individual ..and group problems of high school students today. That means that it deals with the individual problems which you have every day. This should make it fasci• nating and Vital to every.student. Develop• ment · of personality will be emphasized. Also social and cultural inheritance, vocational effectiveness, and general relation• ship of the individual and community groups will be studied. So you see, it is nearer a sociology course than a history course. Courses like this modern problems course are being taught in almost all large high schools in the United States. A questionnaire sent to both parents and students during the recent school survey showed that a large percentage of both students and parents favored making' a course like this a part of our school program. Pupils have been wanting a course like this for years. Every student who graduates in June, 1948, or after, will be required to take modern problems unless the office feels that such requirement will be a r eal hardship on that particular student. What exactly does this mean? It means that all juniors will have to take it unless they have their schedule already full with important subjects. But they must be important subjects in order to be excused from modern problems. If, for example, you have finished most of your requirements early in order that you might take chemistry, then with special permission, you may be excused from modern problems. Or if your sixsemester sheet shows that you have planned your schedule ahead of time and have no room for the new requirement, then you may be excused by Miss Weatherby, 0. W. Hackman, or H. C. Mardis. But under n o cir cumstances will anyone 'be <:ix cu se d ' f or triv ia l reas on s . T h e y hav e
to be important! So juniors, you see you have been complaining without much reason.
Movie Operators Learn Right Way to Run Films Noon films at Lincoln are proving t o be very worth while. The pupils have received several ideas and suggestions from the movies and are working them out. The work behind t he noon movies t akes us to several parts of the school and of the cit y. A. B. Cavett of t he English de• pa rt ment goes to a film st or e in Lincoln with one or two movie operators of t he school to get the films that they put on order. Then t hey bring the movies back to the school and arrange t hem for t he noon movies. If they can't g~t the movies they or der, they have to t ake what they can get. Movie oper ators then t ake over. They take the films and arra nge them for the days during the week. Then t hey take the film for that day and put it on the projector and run it during noon. If the film breaks or anything goes wr ong with t he camer a, the boys on duty in the movie r oom fix it . Then t hey have t o time t he pictur es a nd get t hem t o come out as nearly to the closing of t he lunch hour as they can. These movies wer e started when wint er rolled around t his year. They have all varieties of movies from sad ones t o funny, 11port and picturesque.

"A Mighty Fortress" b y Le Gr and Cann on, J r ., is a n ovel about ministers. It is great ly to Mr. Ca nnon's credit, an d a t ribute to his skill, that his unpretenious, b ut thoughtful picture of a young New England p reacher of t he fifties succeeds in making an en tirely human being of Zeke P eele without once misunderstan ding his profession or t h e way that he felt about it . Zeke is n either a sain t, a martyr, nor a hyprocite, but is a s real as anyone, thou gh w ith t he different reality of New England Protest antism. He was first attracted b y Mr. Watling, the revivalist. He put up a t the Peele farm when Zeke was a boy. The n there was Andover Theological Seminary; and a job at four hundred dolla rs a year as one of the assistant past ors of the Twelfth Congregationa l Chu rch in Boston. There was t he Deacon's n ie ce, who played t he piano. Almost inevitably, he married her, at nineteen. It was a highly unsu itable marriage, and yet, it worke d out .

Clothing, Shoes And Furniture Are Needed Notv Th e Community Emergency Shop is desperately in need of old clothing, shoes, dish es a nd furniture. It is especially in need of childr en 's clothing for ages ranging from six t o twelve as well as boy's and men's clothing. After the clothing once reaches t he Emergency Shop, it is mended, cleaned, sorted, and ~hen p ut on shelves ready for the needy. Dish es and fur n iture a re n eeded because the Community Emer gency Shop is expected to meet all types of emer gencies, such as fire or flood.

Open Forum To The Editor : The plan t o enlarge the oval is a n excellent idea, but at t he same time, couldn't something be d one about posts for the lights? If these could be moved behind the edge of the seats, it would be apprecia ted by all :fans. Thomas Graham. Editor's Note-Ralph Beechner, d irector of athletics, says: Perhaps s omething could b e done, but a t a tremendous exp endit ur e of money. We ha ve discussed the p ossibility of changing t he posts with the arch itect and the athletic board will consider his r e commendation. P erhaps if it is n ot possible to change the post s now it could be done at a later d ate. Thanks for t he suggestion. To The Editor : At this time there is available in Lincoln high school only one course per taini ng to the field of a viation. Sin ce the people of Lin coln seem gr eatly int erested in aviation and k now compa ratively little about it, I feel there should b e at least another course of this type offered to t he pupils of Lincoln high . T his course could be fairly simple and teach j ust t he fundamenta ls of aviation. In t his way m an y, pupils w ho n ow plan a car eer in aviation could find out w hat i t is all about and if t hey do n ot like it could plan for another v ocation. At t he same time, such a course would Lnt <»:-est others .in aviation and give them the knowle dge nee ded to live in a w orld fast becoming air - minded. Sincerely you rs, An Interested P u pil.

Tours Millers Style Show Is Discussed; Will Pick Narrator Touring the seventh and eighth floo'rs of Miller and Paine's department· store proved interesting to members cif the home economics club, Monday, March 24. The girls were conducted through the advertising department where artists were sketching pictures of certain clothes to be put in advertisement for the paper, rooms where window displays were stored and being made, and through stock rooms. The unpacking and .marking rooms showed how merchandise is received and what happens before it is sold. Fragrances eventually drew the girls to the candy factory where chocolate was being stirred in a large vat and centers for candy :were being molded. In the dipping room, centers were being covered with chocolate and marked to tell what kind the center ways. In the packing and storing rooms, many Easter boxes were being packed and other boxes of chocolates were mellowing. · The fur department was found busy at work cutting pelts and sewing them together. The tour ended in the room where pictures are framed. Many shadow boxes and other pictures were being framed with colors that tied in with some color in the picture. During the business meeting, it was announced that tryouts for the narrator of .the spring style show will be held at the next meeting. Any girl wishing to tryout must give an interesting description of a dress or some other

article of clothing, and lear·n to present this description in a pleasing voice. The girls will speak over sound. One will be chosen from this group. The theme of this year's style show will be, "An Old Woman in a Shoe." Former Links Addresses Art Club. Bill Goggins, '41, spoke to the art club Monday, March 24, on commercial art and advertising, in which he also showed some of his work. While attending Lincoln high school he was staff cartoonist for the Advocate. He drew the comic strips, "Bobo Links." In the business meeting that followed, the club members voted to pay for their Links pictuie out of the club's treasury. Forum Has New Committee. A new program committee was chosen at the Forum meeting, March 24, with Winston Martens chairman, Winifred Davidson and David Moomaw. Club Members to Be on Program. J.C. Young spoke to the science club members at their meeting, Thursday, March 27 about registering for the program of the Junior Academy of Science to be held May 3. Anyone may enter with either a talk of an experiment. There is no competition. So far only three have entered from Lincoln high. Writing notes to members who have been absent two meetings has been turned over to the secretary. For the program, magazines on science were read and each person, in turn, told about what he had learned. Three movie films, "Molecular Theory of Matter," "Energy and Its Transformations," and "City Water Supply," were shown to the science club, April 10. Programs Discussed by Writers. One of the topics of discussions at the meeting of the writers clubs, April 7, was types of programs to be arranged for the meetings. Ideas such as speakers, completing jingles and writing verses were suggested. One possibility was to write a sketch for the Mummers, which could be filmed by the camera club. This would be the first attempt of inter-club work. A committee was chosen to work on a Scribe manuscript drive and another committee Wes 0rganized to take charge of contests where prizes are offered for completing the last line in a jingle. These contests would be entered by club members. Y-Teens Hear Frank Snyder. Frank Snyder, in a talk to the Y-Teens, brought out the fact that it's the little things like smiles, attention and courtesy that win admiration from fellow-workers . Mr. Snyder, vocational guidance director of Lincoln public schools, talked to the girls at the April 7 meeting. After the speech, plans were discussed for the 'Country Fair,' which took place Saturday night, April 12, at the Y. W. C. A. gymnasium. The Lincoln high girls were responsible for five of the booths and they presented a skit for their part of the floor show.

Junior Class Rings Following Is the plan now in vogue i n most of th,e larger High Schools. Many of the Juniors (Class of 1948) are placing their orders this spring for their class ring or pin. This permits the manufacturer to make 'up the jewelry during · the summer months ior delivery shortly after the beginning of school in September.
This plan also affords the students the oppoitundty to know the balance that will be due on their ring upon delivery in the fall and gives them the chance to earn the money for these during the summer months. Furthermore, they will have the extra pleasure of wearing thelr school ring during their entire senior year. The rJngs are on display and can be seen at the following .Jewelers: Bowmaster .Jew elry Co. B oyd J ewelry Co. Sartor .Jewelry Co,

the plan that calls for expansion of the Lincoln high school oval at a meeting held Tuesday morning, Ralph Beechner, director of athletics at Lincoln high who presented the plan, said that construction work will have to start no later than the first week in May, so that the stadium will be ready for football in September. The plan, which will improve the seating capacity by 3,600 seats, will not require any money from school taxes. The money will come from proceeds received at games and the money received from the additional seats.

Baseball Modeled After Old English, American Games
46 Try Out For Tennis, GoH Teams
Baseball season is here again,
bat how many sports enthusiasts know that Abner Doubleday, a New Yorker and an army officer at the time of the Civil War, is credited with the origin of modern baseball? Doubleday diagramed the position of both bases and players in 1839. The distance between the bases, as he placed them, has never been changed. Baseball resembles the English game of rounders. Some games called "one, two or three. old cat" were the forerunners of baseball in the United States. The number of bases and players depended on which game. was played. One old cat can be played by three or four players, but in the other games ten or more players can take part. There were no teams and the object of the game was to be "batsman"- as long as possible. The runs, scored when the hitter touched the base and returned to home plate, were incidental to the game. Town ball introduced first the organized team. In 1865-1866 expert players first began to accept money for playing. This caused much concern among gentleman players as they felt. the game would degenerate. The national league was organized in 1876 and the American league was started in 1900. There are many minor leagues which have their own organizations. In 1913, the Federal league gave the two major leagues some trouble, but in 1915 this league was disbanded. Besides being the national sport of the United States and very popular in Canada, baseball is played more in Japan than in most European countries. Botli amateurs and professionals abide by the same set of rules.
Golf and tennis calls at Lincoln high were answered by forty-six hopefuls who are trying for the fiv~ golf and four tennis berths. Twenty-six boys have turned out for tennis with twenty out for golf. This is termed one of the best turnouts in these sports ever displayed at Lincoln high school. Dick Means is the only return· ing letterman in tennis, but he will be aided by Don Davis, Bill Henkle and Mendell Archerd, returning veterans from last year's team. The tennis squad will travel to Beatrice, April 29, to meet the Orangemen and Beatrice will come to Lincoln for a match May 13. On May 16 and 17 the tennismen will defend their state crown, as on May 20 they will defend their Missouri Valley crown. Three Golf Veterans Back. In the golf picture, Stan Stroh, Ted O'Shea and Jack Heckenlively -are returning veterans from last year who . will carry the load for the team. These boys are followed closely by ·Ervin Peterson, Chick White, Charles Battey, Dick Lauer and Hobie Jones who hit the low scores last fall and will undoubtedly be in there collecting points for Lincoln. Like the tennismen, the golfers will open again~t Beatrice and the two will be rematched May 13, at Lincoln. The Links will defend their Missouri Valley crown May 20 and will try for the state championship on May 16 and 17. Athletic director Ralph Beechner is hoping to enlarge the tennis and golf schedule with •atches ·between Fremont and Omaha teams.

Season Tickets for East Side. Plans, up to now, call for putting the whole east side on a season ticket basis. The cost of the season tickets will be one dollar plus tax for each home game. Total price will depend on number of home games played. No single game admissions will b& sold for the east stadium and no reserved seats will be sold for one game. Additional team dressing rooms, intra-mural and physical education facilities will be provided underneath the stadium. Concession stands, lavatories and a modern press box are also included in the plans.
Diamond Men Check B.T. In 4-1 Win After four cancellations C>f games, the Lincoln high baseball team finally got off to a successful start Monday afternoon by downing Boys Town 4-1 on Boys Town home field. Boys Town starting pitcher, Tom Carradine, was spiked in the hand and left the game in the first inning. He was injured while fielding a low throw at first base for the final putout.. Lincoln scored two runs in the second inning and one each in the third and fourth innings for its scoring. Boys Town could ·score only once, that in the fifth inning when Jim Mitchell' tripled and Frank Kern doubled to produce a score. Pete Kortum paced the Lincoln attack with two hits in four times at bat. One of his hits was the games only home run. The Links collected six hits off of Pittcher Gunnell who took Tom Carrodine's place after the first inning. Pitcher Ray Howell had a big day on the mound, allowing Boys Town only three hits. He whiffed 15 batters while Gunnell fanned 10. The next Lincoln game will be Friday of this week when it meets Creighton Prep on Muny diamond. The box score:
I]IUA am/ ]Jud I With spririg vacation left behind, we struggle back to this well know grind. (Can't explain it, must be spring fever.) After-school sports head the list of activities now. Life saving, tennis and softball classes have started. Since 25 girls have already entered llfe-saving, no one else can enter. Miss Billie Steelman and Miss Beverely Se• cord of the University of Nebraska a.re the instructors. However, otfers are still open for tennis and
softball. If you gals are interested in getting a good tan, opportunity knocks when you play a fast game of tennis. If you don't know how, bring a racket, tennis ball and shoes and enroll in the afterschool class. All girls coming out for baseball are reminded that they must pay a towel fee and be sure to bring jeans or slacks and a sweat shirt or sweater for cold weather. Application for after school classes must be in this week. Beginning swimmers have taken over the swimming pool. . It looks as though they are really interested in an· up and coming sport which everyone should know how to do. Later this spring, tournaments are planned in archery, tennis, golf, softball, horseback riding, bowling and swimming. At the last G. A. A. meeting, plans for hikes during spring vacation were made and various sports were discussed. Marian Ekblad was selected horseback riding leader; A paddle tennis tournament has been going on in fifth period on Tuesday and Thursday.

Future Athletes Are New Sons Of LHS Coaches
~.a_._ ~L:..l.lJ ·
The middle distance and distance runners, as . well as jumpers under the supervision of Coach Biff Pfieff. come under our watchful eyes in this week's column. In a wide open 440, which features one senior, Tom Harley last year's 880 · man, leads as a result of his good time of .56 seconds in a recent time trail. Jack Burke, Hobie Jones and Dick Flynn are all sophomores and show promise for this event. Paul Reidel, a junior, is close behind. The 440 may prove to be a weak spot in Lincoln's lineup if better times are not turned in. In one of Lincoln's strongest event, the 880, Jim Mikkelson leads the pack, as he is the only returning letterman. "Mick" is being pushed by Tom Harley, a returning regular from last year. Jack McCann and Bill Hodder are also trying their wares at this . event. In the pole vault, Bob Good, letterman from basketball, is in the lead' with Howard Cook, last year's letterman, within a hair's breadth of him. And just as close behind these two is Buel Mills, last year certificate winner. As yet the boys have not hit impressive marks, but should improve as time goes on. The mile features Lloyd Ratliff who turned in some good times last year, but hasn't broken five minute mark as yet. Following .behind is a whole host of men led by Bill Burns and Rob Roy Farnham, Bill Egger and Gene Lightner close behind. In the high jump Merlin Wiltfang will be back to help the Links out. He hit 5'8" last year and should go far this season. Don Wells and other boys are coming along. In the broad jump, Don Wells, track's jack of all trades, is best with others following at a . distance.
Classes ·Visit Penitentiary Population of the Nebraska prison now totals 630, according to one of the pupils of Miss Florence Jenkins' modern problems classes which toured the state penitentiary, Thursday, April 10. Chaplain Fred Deesen conducted the trip. Among these 630 prisoners are 520 whites, 79 colored, 16 Indians, 11 Mexicans and 1 oriental (who was born and reared in Nebraska). The oldest prisoner is 82 years old. He has been in the Nebraska penitentiary for ten years and likes it better than any others he has been in. Drink Causes Crime. About 90 percent of the men in prison are men who have been led to crime by drinking. Twenty percent are in for illegal check writing, while the next highest offense is car theft. Capitol punishment in Nebraska is the electric chair. MacAvoy was the last to be executed, in 1945. New prisoners are subject to do K.P. for 90 ·days. Solitary confinement, a small cell and a marble slate to sleep on, are used for punishment within the penitentiary and if. these are not enough, culprits are fed bread and water.

After having its first track meet postponed, the Lincoln high track squad will open the 1Q47 track season at the Columbus Invlta• tional, today. The Links, who are an unknown quantity in Nebraska high school track circles, placed second in the Columbus meet last year and are among the favorites this year.

Others who placed in last year's meet ar_e Bill Henkle, fourth in the high hurdles; Ed Weir, second in low hurdles; Mer· lin Wiltfang, tied for second in the high jump.
Coach Good stated that to reach this high parity Nebraska will need a system of junior high coaching and junior high school leagues to lay the foundation for later teams.
The 880 yard relay team also picked up a third at least year's meet. The results of ,the trials, thus for this year, show Lincoln to be . strongest in the 880-yard run and the weights.

New Signs Put In Parking Lot
To Hold Fall Clinics For Cheer Leaders
New parking signs have been placed at the north end of the east parking lot. This idea was put into effect in order to allow trucks to back into the driveway. The put"puts that are being parked there· now will have to be moved to the east bicycle racks. "Teachers and students that park their cars in the east lot are urged to make it a habit to park as close together as it is reason• ably possible," said Guilford C. Burnham. This allows more cars to be parke.d and makes better use of this parking lot. The safety committee is sponsoring this program and would like to get the cooperation of all students.
Plans for the newly adopted cheer leader clinics are _under way. 0. L. Webb, president of the Nebraska high school activities association, announces that the clinics will definitely be held some time next fall. The clinics will be stationed i_ n various parts of the state and cheer leading groups will be invited to attend the nearest clinic. These clinics will be maintained to give cheer leaders the .correct type of training and to teach them sportsmanship. As the plans now stand, the clinics will be held just before the basketball season.

State~s Accident Rate Mounts;
.Twenty-Seven Killed in Month Pedestrians, Drivers And Bicycle Riders Should Apply Rules
·>•
Nebraska Safety P·a trol record of traffic accidents listed 27 fatalities for a recent month. A brief review may show what drivers and pedestrians (also bicycle riders) risk, if they fail to realize the seriousness of such accidents. An outstanding. educator in Nebraska was suddenly killed as he drove his car onto a railroad crossing. He had been an active exponent of safety, but the knowledge of safety rules and dangerous hazards will not save a driver whose attention wanders at the crucial time. The Car Ra.dfo. A young lady, driving while listening to the radio, was killed. Evidently none of the four young people in the car were paying any attention to the driving when the car left the road and upset in a. culvert ditch .. School Boy Playing along the Road. An eleven year old boy was killed while walking home from school with his brother and an• other boy. The car which fatally injured him, was passing a wagon just as the boy started to retrieve a stick. The Open Road. Again a driver, evidently, could not resist the urge to open up the gas on the open road. He is not alive to tell hi:s &tory. High Speed on Turn. A bride, 16, coming home for Christmas in a new station wagon lost her life. The driver failed to slow down at a sharp corner. The car went into lOose gravel and down a 35 foot bank. Passes Stop Sign. A high school sophomore, on a motorized bike, passed the stop, just as a truck and trailer was coming by, so that the open door of a car trapped him and he fell under the wheel of the tfailer.
Ohiowa Students Visit L.H.S. On Senior Trip Seven .seniors from Ohiowa high ..school, Ohiowa, Nebraska, and their teacher, Ilah Couch, visited Lincoln. high Tuesday, April 15. When asked what they thought of Lincoln high, one boy said, "Well, it's just about as big as Ohiowa." Ohiowa high has only 31 students and three teachers. Another comment was that Lincoln high was so orderly.

Choir Searches For Folding Fans Although the weather has not bee.n such that the use the fans is essential, t hey are very much in demand by the Lincoln h igh school choir. They use thes~ folding fans in the opera, "The Mikado," which members of choir are presentini May 24 and 25. Most of these fans are made in Japan, but since the beginning of the war this source has been exhausted. Hugh Rangeler, director of the choir, was able to p rocure about five and one half dozen fans and, with the fans from t he opera of seven years ago, the total is · approximately 7 dozen. This is about enough for the actual production, but approximately 100 fans are needed to teach students how to use them and also for rehearsals. For obvious r easons, such a

He said t4at world war two helped this movement along, for in Germany the mentally or physically defective people were not permitted to live.

Guy Nielson and Mel Knopp, Buddies; Have Offers From St. Louis Cards By Beverly Jo Powell Guy Nielson and Mel Knopp, who have been inseparable buddies all through high school, may continue their baseball career together if both accept the offers, which they received from the St. Louis Cardinals last year during the state American Legion baseball tournament. Guy, blonde, 1.6 years old, six feet five inches tall, started playing baseball at the age of 13 with the Cornhusker hotel team. He said, "I knew then that I like baseball and decided I'd like to follow it through." Later he played with the Lincoln Blues and .now he plays first base on the Lincoln high_ team. He was chosen all-state last year in baseball and was on the reserves basketball team. Mel started his baseball career in the neighborhood lot, at about the sage of six and later played with the Gold & Co. business team. He is now 17 years old, five feet nine inches tall and plays second base on the L. H. S. team. He has also played basketball with the "Bulldogs," a city league team com~osed of high 1 school boys. Both boys have nicknames with meanings. "Wimpy," is what Mel has been known by since he was about five, because of his liking for hamburgers. Guy is called "Goose" after "Goose" i:r:atum, who played with the "Airbase Wings." ' The greatest ·. difference in the bo.ys' history lie~. in the fact . that
L
Guy has only one brother, while Mel has two brothers and !our sisters. Also Mel has lived in Lincoln all his life and Guy has been here for only five years. Guy's favorite subject is wood· work, where he spends four pe. riods every day. He says, "It's a good 'wood butchering' class." Mel is fa the trades preparation curriculum. A · few of Mel's personal tastes now. Hamburgers are his favorite food. His favorite band is Frankie Carle's and "For Sentimental Reasons," is the his favor• ite piece. He enjoys reading in his spare time. Dancing doesn't enter his life ,and when ask ed about girls, he simply stated, "Girls." (groan). In Guy's opinion, "Giris are all right if they have a car, but I hate to walk."

Prospective pro basebail players Mel Knopp, standing, and Guy Nielson in squatting position.
He doesn't care to dance either. His favorite band leader is Guy Lombardo, and "Huggin' and a Chalkin' " is his piece. Ham · 'n eggs are his favorite food and for enjoyment he eats and sleeps. Both decided they are just. "Everyone's buddies." (?request). Returning to baseball. Both think the team has a good chance this year because every boy on it has had previous experience either with the "Lincoln Blues" or the high school team. Mel said, "Lincoln high sports are the best organized in the state and although they have about tpe toughest competition in the state, they always come through all right."
Drivers Take Care! You Have Murder Weapon! How is your driving? Are you a menace to society? Surely, you are as safe as anybody behind the wheel, but how safe is "anybody?" We talk about living in the Atomic Age, but we die in the Automotive age! Here in Nebraska, there are two traffic fatalities every three days. Nearly 1200 accidents a month are put down on the records. Still we keep on driving "hap-hazardly" until we happen on a hazard and then realize the car is not under control. It doesn't take an atomic bomb to kill us, · just ·any little mistake. Can you imagine anyone saying, "I made a little mistake," with a bomb? Well how about those mistakes made with cars? Good drivers are not made quickly. That is probably why the accident, rate among teen-age people is so high. Just getting our hands on the steering wheel doesn't make us good drivers. One must be trained. A driver must be taught to know about the regulations, the vehicles and how other drivers and pedestrians act. We must learn to control our reactions. We must form habits which make us do the right thing at the right time. Not only must the eyes be trained but also the feet and hands must be trained to work together with the eyes. One has to learn how to judge distance and to time the speed of other cars. Also, a sense of responsibility is absolutely essential. When you get behind the wheel of a car, you are taking into your hands a great power. Use that power well, for it can become a murder weapon. Of course, one does not have to be overly cautious, nor worry. There is no place in safety for a coward. What a good driver needs is knowledge, confidence, the ability to control the car especially when an emergency arises, an attitude . of courtesy, patience, cooperation, and respect for the · right of other people, the pedestrian and driver. "Remember this, if you'd be spared, Trains c1on't whistle cause they're scared." Every driver knows that a railroad crossing is dangerous. No train will slow down to let a car cross the tracks. Last year's railroad crossing fatality rate was one for each 12 days. This year's is one every eight days. According to the Nebraska state .safety council bulletin, good driving is not so much a matter of age as of self control. This means that we young drivers can improve the bad record for young people if we use self control. Timid drivers can't seem to make up their minds, so they cause hazards. . Courteous drivers consider the other folks' welfare, and their safety. Which kind of driver are you?
Stadium Plan Misunderstood L.H.S. Gets No Favors! Becaus e cf v. misun,3-erntanding e vide nced
Jn a letter to the editor of a city paper, two a r ticles in the Northeastern, (Northeast high school paper), and on a local radio program, Lincoln high must again state 'what it has explained before; we are paying for the new stadium ourselves; the school board is · showing no favoritism towards Lincoln high in approving the L.H.S. stadium. The school board is not giving the new $80,000 construction to Lincoln high. It simply approved the plan to improve and enlarge our 25-year-old stadium. We are borrowing the money to finance the construction and are paying interest on it. The money will be paid back from athletic fund and from the proceeds received at our athletic events held in the new stadium. Every statement made public by the board of education or the Lincoln high school athletic department has clearly indicated this procedure. Undoubtedly any such self-financed project from either school would receive equal attention and approval from the school board. This misunderstanding must be cleared up, as Lincoln high neither asks for nor expects to receive any preference over Northeast in matters of school improvement, or anything else. We want to keep friendly and neighborly relationships with Northeast and regret that statements were published which were based on lack of information. Here's hoping that when all persons understand the facts of the matter, the misunderstanding may be completely cleared up and that nothing may be permitted to work against the continuation of friendly relations between Northeast and Lincoln high, ;two swell schools!

With an Ape on a Tricycle and Hockey Games Blaring, Joy Night Carries On Behin d the scene at Joy Night as usual was constantly being hushed by door men and teachers w ho wer e trying t h eir best to keep things quiet and the halls clear, but some hiiarious things happened. About an hour before curtain time one of the custodians was seen in an emtp:y classroom laughing heartily, then, a voice from over sound said, "Do you think it was really turr.ed on?" A little more serious was the fact that the high wattage, ultraviolet light bulbs of the "Come and Get It Act" burned out at dress rehearsal, and they had to be replaced. The costumes for this act were hand decorated wit(l flu- · crescent chalk. Then the =ke-up committee had a little trouble with the moustaches and goatees being misplaced. And also something happened to the make-up used by the "Zingoras" of the girls glee act. The clown led one innocent couple on a merry chase trying to find their seat~. but finally after
Came.ra Hounds· Photograph Model After taking p ortrait pictures of a model with their own cameras, members of the camera club saw a thirty mimlte sound motion picture, "Photoflash Photography and How It Works," at the club meeting Wednesday, April 16. At a previous meeting club members learned how to take por t raits, so at this meeting about 15 members brought their own cameras and took portraits of the model, Jo Hompes. The April picture of the month contest was won by Nyla May Perry. The film was then shown. It told about all types of photoflash bulbs and equipment used by amateur photographers.
To The Editor: Have you ever wondered · what L.H.S. would look like if the halls were not lined with battered-up lockers adorned with initials and a superb collection of first grade art? The insides of these battered containers do not change the im· pression that they are part of a ver y inadequate garbage and waste disposal system.

Marian Anderson Tries to Give Audience an Understanding of 'Her Race by Using Music Marian Anderson, contralto, who appeared at the university coliseum Tuesday evening, April 15, frankly confessed to an Advocate reporter her partiality to Schubert's music. She sang a group of songs by Schubert in her concert. The song most asked for in her tours is the "Ave Maria" by Schubert. She also likes "The Crucifixion" by Payne. She likes "The Crucifixion" because "there are lots of people who always complain that here was a man who was crucified and never said a word." The words and sentiment appeal t o her. She likes to sing spirituals. They bring back the feelings of the people in the era when the only means of expression w as in their songs and they bring out the conditions in which they lived." In her repertoire, the music must first be very good and it must appeal. to her. In every concert she tries to present some song by a new and unknow n composer, but the music must not be too modern. When she was nine· and ten, she thought she wanted to be a doctor. She was always bandaging up her little friends. But a little later music drove everything else from her mind. She has a farm overlooking the Connecticut valley of Fairfield county where she rests between tours, but she rarely has a minute of peace becaw.e people she has met are alwaylii coming to see her
Also to inspire young people to this sort of work," she said, speaking of the results which she hopes to accomplish through her work. She advises all young would-be .singers to get a college education and, while in college, to take the history of music and also foreign languages. She believes it is a credit to a singer if he can translate his pieces himself, as this gives him a better understanding and. also he can put more depth and feeling into his words. She also advises reading up on a favorite composer and his works.

and staying until another person comes. Her most thrilling experiences were the times when she sang at the White House and the christening of the liberty ship, "Booker T. vV'ashington." . She is quite a seamstress and during the early part of her pres. ent tour, sh e took a small portable sewing machine along with her and made seven pairs of draperies for the guest house on her farm. She usually makes her own · slack suits for summer wear. Her largest audience was in Minneapolis where· she appeared before 11,000 persons. This was seven years ago. Her smallest was about 1500. "I hope to give to the audience a picture they have not had before and t:o bring about a better under standing of my peaple thr ough the medium of singing.

She hopes that there will be a time when there will be visual education in the schools, and languages will be taught . much faster. She is very pleased when someone tells her, after a performance, "For tonight I really forgot' everything else." A person who wishes to become a singer must be well informed about what he is going · to do and be willing to make sacrifices. He must have courage to stick with it or he won't get anywhere. After she finishes her tour, she will make records for Victor on ,the fifth, sixth and s.e venth oi May after which she will leave for appearances in the West Indies. Miss Anderson and her manager, Mr. Jofe, had, as their guest at the concert, Pat Nelson, of the Advocate staff. This afforded an unusual opportunity to the reporter to have a glimpse into Miss. Anderson's fine and gracious personality. ·

Joy Night Cast Thrills Audience Production Has Great· Appeal For All Ages With the boys glee club starting off the evening with the appropriate ·song, "There's No Business Like Show Business," and the girls glee club closing the show with four stirring songs and seven colorful dancers, another successful Joy Night production came to a close Saturday night after three performances sponsored by the student council, Miss Mildred Kemp and William Pfeiff, sponsors. The clown (Frank .Jacobs) put on entertaining stunts while the stage boys cleared the stage between acts. He did everything from trying to roller skate to charming snakes. The G. A. A. showed their wares in the form of tumbling and making pyramids. As one spectator said, "It seems almost unbelievable that high school girls can do those things." "The faculty act was one of the finest to be put on during the past few years,'' were many of the comments heard. It featured everything from Handle Barr (H. C. Mardis) taking I Scream Barr's (Miss Dothea Gore) ice cream and candy bars, "'boogie" on th~ piano and dancing, to Double Barr the twins (0. W. Hackman, Hugh Rangeler) singing a duet.

He likes everything about Lincoln high ,and when it comes to girls-"Well, I'm never too busy to take time for them,'' he says. The . worry of his life is that someone won't like him. He wants everyone to .be his friend and he hates the thought of having an enemy. In regard to dancing before audiences, Elbert said, "Backstage I'm nervous, but as soon as I get out there, I get all wrapped in what I'm doing and forgot that the audience is even there."

George J. Hutton, former Lincoln high school student, was recently elected president of the Yellowstone County Bar association of Montana. While attending Lincoln high, he was a member of the student council and managing editor of the Links and Advocate in his senior year. He graduated in 1925. Graduated from the University of Nebraska college of law in 1934, Mr. Hutton is the youngest president ever elected by the association. He is now the junior member ia a law firm in Billings, Montana. Ronald W. Barnes, '45, has recently taken over the position o:f playing the carillon (bells) for the First-Plymouth Congregational church. The former carillonneur of the church, Miss Mary Guest, resigned to accept a position in W<1shington, D. C. Formerly on the Advocate staff, Barnes was editor of the 1945 Links.

In the Institute of Student Opinion poll taken earlier this se• mester, Lincoln high's percent• ages compare closely with the re• sults of the nation-wide high school su:rvey which are just released. The greatest difference ill 15 percent and, although there are no figures which are identical, one group of figures has only 1 per• cent difference. A strong majority of high school students in the U. S. prefer jobil that do not require membership in a labor union. This fact is re• vealed in the survey just completed under the sponsorship of Scholastic Magazines. The survey 'was conducted among 72,973 senior and junior high school students through tha Institute of Student Opinion mem• bership of 1,626 high school news• papers representing every section of the country. The poll questions and percentage results were as follows: 1. Suppose that you had your choice of two jobs which you like equally well. Both jobs offer you equal pay and equal opportunity for advancement. However, one job requires you to join a labor union; the other does not require you to join a labor union. Would that fact make any difference in your choice between the two jobs! Yes ...••... 78% No ........ 14% No Opinion. 8% 2. If you answered yes above, which job would you take? Job requiring union membership ...... ___ ....... 36% .Job not requiring union membership ............ 64% The students' preference for theopen shop, ·as· shown in the poll results, Closely approaches the adult attitl,i.de _shown in a recent Gallup Poll.. when 66. percent of those polled favored the open shop. In answer to the first question on the ISO ballot· the percentage of boys whose choice of a job would be influencea _.Py required union membership ' was higher than the percentage of girls. Eighty-one per cent of the boyg said that required union membership would influence their choice of a job. Thirteen per cent said tha~ it would not; 6 percent had no opinion. Among the girls 76 per cent said that required union membership would influence tnelr cho:ce of a job; 14 per cent said that it would not, 10 per cent were undecided. However, among both boys and girls who felt that their choice would be influenced, the percentage of those who would choose jobs which did and did not require union membership was the same. Thirty-six per cent of both boys and girls would choose the job which did not require union membership.

To sing and dance either on the stage or in movies is the ambition of talented Elbert Starks, 16year-old sophomore, His wonderful performance in Joy Night certainly proves that he has the ability to do eitther. Elbert has been interested in singing and dancing as long as he ' can remember. He said, "I used to go to movies and as soon as I reached home I would go through the routines the stars had." The first time he mad.e a public appearance was in a "kiddies burlesque," at the age of six. u He won the first prize of $20 at a local theater one talent night and since then has made two return appearances as guest star. He was in a musical, "A Night in Cuba," similar to Joy Night, and also on a radio program, both in Salina, Kansas. He has also sang at a local night-spot. All of his songs are just in his head. He doesn't read music and he says, "I. never do the same dance twice, but just what I feel like." Elbert has appeared in George Randal's "Loving Lunatics," and in "The Male Animal," a Circlet theater production. "It seems I always play the roles of a vampire, an insane person, a preacher, or something like that. I don't· know why though," he said with a grin. Now he is working on "The Girl in The Fur Coat." in which he portrays an ignorant hep-cat (see what he means?) His family has lived in Lincoln for three years, the longest they have ever stayed in one place. Elbert was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and from there he moved to Indiana Harbor, about 25 miles from Chicago, Illinois. Since then they have lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Seattle, Wash-

English and American literature are taught in Austrian schools, writes a German high school student, Heinz Rable, in a recent letter to Betty Olson, Lincoln high senior. Shakespeare,, Longfellow, Mark Twain and Jack London are among the ones mentioned. "I hope that ~e shall not be any longer so "quite unknown," he stated when speaking about our two countries, "and also I hope we shall understand each other very well." Last summer, Heinz worked in the H.Q.B.T.A., British troops in Austria, as a telephone operator, to perfect himself in the speaking of the English language. "This was a merry time,'' he declared, "because the British soldiers were good boys and comrades." His high school subjects are much the same as those in this country, only more emphasis is put on history and social science. Four years of Latin are also required as a background for foreign language. Upon graduation this summer, Heinz plans to attend the School of Technology of Graz, Vienna. Klagenfurt, his home town, is very near the Jugo-Slavian border and is the capital of the federal county of Carinthia. It is nestled in a mountainous district close to Lake Woerther, where Heinz and his friends swim during the summer.

Merle Debus pitched 5 hit ball, but that was not enough, as Bob Zevitz pitched 3 hit ball. Zevitz's cause was aided by four Lincoln errors. Central scored first when Lincoln errors put Zevitz and Mancuso in scoring position with two down. Then Hughes singled Zevitz across the plate and Macchietto's double drove in two more rpns. Central's other run came in the seventh when a hit and two more errors by the Lincoln team put a man across.

Bookroom Clerk Serves on Jury The first woman on the Lincoln high staff to serve on a jury is Mrs. Ruby Evans, who is in charge of the book room. She received a summons to appear Monday, April 14, at 9 a. m., at the court house to fulfill petty jury duty.

Ranch Camp at Curtis Offers Opportunities To Boys Having Ambition and Love of Fun How would you like to spend eight fast-moving weeks out in the cow country? Just such an opportunity is being offered to any sophomore, junior or senior boy in .Lincoln high, who may apply for the Boys Ranch Camp held ' at Curtis, Nebraska, J une ·16 to August 9. If the future can be foretold by the past, t his year's "Ranch Camp," will b e an adventure that some 200 boys will not quickly forget. Twelve Lincoln boys, including ten from Lincoln high, attended the camp last year and among their memories are over - night trips on h orseback into the r eal, wide open spaces. The boys travel by horseback, with the chuck wagon following and they sleep under the stars. They rem ember the big Fourth of July r odeo, in which the boys staged a ~eal wild west show of riding and roping cattle a s well as horseback formations. They won't forget the social dances with girls from neighboring towns where ch ance acquaintances sometimes lead to long lasting friendships.

The boys are housed in beautiful brick dormitories and have experienced men and women as counselor s. Boys from all parts of t he count ry gather on the b eautiful and spacious campus that the Univer sity of Nebraska school of agr iculture boasts, to t ake part in the ranch life. Twelve states were represented at last year's camp. Ten h ours credit is given for the course. The following Lincoln high boys collected these credits by attending last 'y ear's camp: Brooks Andrews, Richard Bratt, Joe Brown, Keith Flemming, Jack Foger ty, John Gradwohl, Gu s Lebsock, Ed Perry, Bob Seacrest and Char les Tho_mpson. Application blanks may b e secured from 0. W. Hackman. Fee is $200, but any student may apply for a scholar ship which pays all expenses. These scholarships are give~· by fir ms in Lincoln.
To compete for these scholarships, a candidate h ad to be i6 years old and a member in good standing for at least six months in the civil air patrol. The scholarships are given every three months to two boys · and one girl in the state who have received the best grades on test s sent in sealed envelopes from Omaha. These tests usually have 25 questions. When t ests are finished, they are sent back to Omaha, graded and recorded. Every three months, when t he winners are decided upon, the scholarship money t hat has been set aside from money brought in at the two air shows present ed ever y summer in the state pays for -the instruction of the winners. The Civil Air Pat r ol is an auxiliary of the Army Air Force and was foun ded December 1, 1941. An organization was set up in Lincoln a short while later. To become a member, one must be 15-18 years old for the cadet group and 18 years or older for the senior group. There are no dues or fees except 'for parties. "I have been interested in aviation ever since I got my first doll and named it Doolittle," Elinor r emarked, explaining that she joined C.A.P. as soon as she could. The Lincoln squadron of 35 members, one-half L.H.S. students, meets every Wednesday night in full r equired uniform -at hanger E3 in the Lincoln airbase from 7:30 to 10:00. During these meetings, members ar e taught infantry drill, navigation, meterology, r adio, engine mechanics, first aid, Morse code and mainten ance of aircraft. "There is n o studying out of class. except keeping up with current news on aviation in the magazines," she explained. "The equipment used, such as manuals, two engines to t ake apart, $20,000 worth of radio equipment and

little things like n avigation computers is fur nished by the army. There are al~o two airplanes <1.nd one link t rainer in the state for CAP use." No regular . flying instructions are given, but observation hours are gained when members are allowed to go in the air on rides. Elinor had no regular flight hours until her first• lesson Satur day, but she has been up often and gets a thrill every time. "This time of year , it is especially lovely to fly," she says, "as -the earth looks like a checker board with velvet green and black squares." Eight hours of dual flight instruction and a satisfactory solo are needed for a student license. This license does not allow one to take anyone in th e air unless it is a person with a. pilot's license or allow any errands for pay. With another 35 hours of flight and at the age of 17, a private license may be obtained. Only light air planes are used for instruction. Every summer a C.A.P. camp is held, without fees. This year it is to be located at Fort Crook just outside of Omaha from August 3 to 11. The boys and girls live in the barr acks and eat in the mess halls, leading a regular army life. At camp, classes are held and flying ·t ime acquired. For entertainment, there are dances in the evenings. Since most companies do not hire women pilots, Elinor wants to go in,to the meterology or tower control fields.

"I know I won't get in, but sign it any. way". Sound familiar these past days? No wonder, petitions for student council are being handed out. That's right-handed out. Come one, come all!

~ Democratic Government . We live in a democratic country! Our homes are situated in an average democratic city! We obtain our educations in a school which is run under the principals of democracy. . Democracy is a government of all the people. Yet in our own student council we allow three-fourths of the members to be from a district which covers only the southeastern 'part of our city. It is possible and probable that they are all capable ·of filling their positions, but if we are to have a truly democratic type of student council we must have representa-. tives from every walk of life in order to understand everyone's viewpoints. If we allow the present situation, we cannot have this needed representation. The fault does not fall upon the threefourths majority. On the contrary, it is the fault of each and every student who would like to see fairer representation, but who is not only unwilling to sacrifice his time in becoming a candidate, but is unwilling to go to the polls at election time and cast an honest and conscientious vote. The income bracket in which you live has little if any bearing on your chance to be-. come a leader. It is true that those who have wealth are offered more ways in which to develop their leadership qualities, but if you have the ability and strive toward becoming a leader, your chances are as good as the next fellow's! What then is the solution? On May 8 you will be going to the polls to elect your •tudent council, 1947-48. If every student .I
of Lincoln high will go to the polls and vote conscientiously for the persons who he thinks will actually be able to cope with the sch:ool's problems, instead of voting for "his friends" or "the best looking girl of the lot", then the great majority which seems to form every year will be abolished. It is therefore your duty and obligation as well as your privilege to vote. The fate of your school is in your hands! Do with it what you will!

Get in There and Run! Petitions for membership on the student council are avilable to anyone who wishes to run in the primary election. The entire student body is entitled to vote at the primary and at the final election for those they wish to· see get the position on the council. The trouble with many of the students in Lincoln high · is that they're a little too "lazy" to go to the polls and vote. If you want some one person who is particularly eligible for the position why not make an effort to put him there instead of "beefing"? Members of the council are picked because of their ability in leadership. They aren't picked because they have a big shiny car and their father is up in the business world, but because they can handle the affairs at hand and all will feel confident. You say when you see a certain person's name on the final ballot, "Oh sure, I knew he .or she would make it! She's got moner, and comes from the 'good part of' town'. ' But you should stop and think, "is there really a 'good part of town' which is closed off to the only people who will be eligible for leadership in school activities?" Of course not! If you stop and think you'll realize that this idea has been picked up by someone and passed on to you and will probably be passed on to others unless otherwise explained. So, if you wish good leaders, get out your• self and help get them.

tioned it was possible for pupils who were not interested and not willing to spend as much time as necessary to be nominated because they were known throughout the school. The newer method ·gives all students, who have ambition to be on the council, even though they may not be known, a chance to have their names put on the pri· mary ballot. It is true they may not have a very g9od chance of being elected because they aren't known. If these leaders who have not had a chance could only be introduced to the entire student body and teach• ers, before the primaries, and perhaps given a chance to sa.y a few wordS to them, they would have a better chance to be elected.

It was hard, of course, during the last election with only thirty minutes, but there is no excuse now! If you don't vote this t ime you're just plain lazy! Our student council is supposed to be representative of the whole school, right? But did you know that 75 per cent of the student council represents the "upper crust" of society? Is this right and fair? Of course not. At least not in a school and country that is supposed to be democratic a"d representative of the people.

Elections! Many Complain What Is to Be Done About It? Recently, some voices have been heard raised against the present system of election to the student council. These persons complaining are not meaning to cause trouble, but have the interest of the whole school at heart. Let's examine some of the complaints · that have been raised against the student council. Surely, there must be good reasons behind them or- they would not have come out so strongly at the present time. It is said that with the present situation, not enough of the student body vote. Some advocate 'returning to an old system which was used many years ago. In order to do this, the constitution of the student council would have to be changed, and could not possibly go into effect until next year. This system is similar to the present way class officers are elected. Now any student who wishes to be elected to the student council may apply and be placed on the primary ballot. This gives everyone who wants to imrve an opportunity at least to try to get elected. Last election only about 55 per cent voted. If everyone would vote, the persons elected would be truly representative of the whole :school and not of any special group of persons in the school! ! This brings up another complaint. It is often said that in order to get on the council you have to live in a certain part of town, or you have to have attended a certain junior high or that your parents have to have a certain amount of money. Is this true? In Lincoln high does such a condition exist? It should not; these things should not affect your abilities as an individual to be a good leader.in school. When you really get down to it, as we shall find when we venture forth into the world such things as family background and money do play a part in the business and political worlds. Deplorable as they may be, it is true and probably will continue to be so. Many of the student council members attended one junior high. Many of these are active also in other activities and offices. Some feel this one group of pupils get 'all the breaks' and if you're from the other schools you don't stand a chance. This has been proved false time and again for students from all junior high schools have excelled in scholarship, activities and leadership. Still the feeling persists! One usually sends the largest group of sophomores over to L. H. S., giving them a majority. Still this is not reason why they should be elected more often than those from the other schools. Some students are to blame if they have brought about this ill feeling by acting superior or by being cliquish. Others are to blame if they allow one group to take the lead. It is not necessarily true that pupils from the other junior highs don't stand a chance! They have equal opportunity and should take advantage of it by running for student council and, or; 1;y voting at elections. Any
monopoly of the council can be completely done away. YOU are the ones to change things if you want to have them changed. Don't complain ! ! ! Get out and vote, one and all, and elect the best, most capable leaders.
Some of My Best Friends Are She·e p Elections and seleGtion of participants for various activities in L. H. S. have often been called unfair and biased. The system of nominating (much like that of the city of Lincoln) has been labeled a personality poll by cynical students who tire of seeing the same faces and names at the top of every school organization and activity. Can it be true that a school the size of Lincoln high cannot produce enough capable and willing pupils to fill all the posts that require leadership and must lean back on a handful of students and follow them like sheep? No, of course this is not true, but neither is it fair to blame the system of voting for th.is situation. . It is you who make goats of yourselves ·when you follow like sheep and vote for the same crowd just because you are too lazy to find out if there might be someone a little less known on the ballot that is just as good if not better. You have heard this before, but THIS IS A DEMOCRACY NOT A COMMUNISTIC STATE. · The difference lies in the individuality and the freedom of the individual. Use these traits to your own advantage by using your own mind and by VOTING FAIRLY!

Employment Service ls a Help To Pupils Securing Positions Nebraska state employment service is a great help to many Lincoln high pupils who seek jobs. This service is open to everybody who qualifies under the labor laws in Nebraska. Anyone 16 or over may use the service. Even though this · service cannot refer anyone under 16, it will give information to those who desire employment. The office i~ located at 1213 N street, The outlook for labor for the coming months is critical. The employment service will be able to place a great number of workers wanting permanent employment and a few desiring summer work only, There is a great demand for girls in the clerical field, and for both boys and girls in factory and labor jobs. There are openings for service people, such as waiter s, waitresses, retail salesmen, delivery service workers, either highway or building, and some openings for helpers in skilled trades, as bricklayers, plumbers, electricians and carpenters. There are openings for boys in the mechanical line or automobile service fields.

·Altrusa Girls "Newspaper Reporting Today" Have Dinner
new book by Charles C. Clayton, a graduate of L.H.S., class of '19, is good for amateur and professional newspaper reporters says Miss Belle Farman, Advocate adviser. Former managing editor on the Advocate staff, Mr. Clayton is now editor of the St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. While attending Lincoln high, Mr. Clayton was also a member of the writers club and the Forum. One of the early stories Charles Clayton wrote' was "Moonlight in the Sierria Madre" which was published iri the 1919 Links. In the book, Mr. Clayton points out that the newspaper reporter of the future must be a specialist. The day of old-style routing re.:. porter is rapidly passing if not already gone. To be a good reporter on a good newspaper, a person must be a little bit better than the best man on the staff. Mr. Clayton begins the book by quoting Charles Dana, noted newspaper man, as saying, "I can get all the editors I want, but good reporters are scarce."

"The world has become more .complex: than it was in my childhopd," he said, "and I think a complex world is good, because it proves more challenging. In order to get along in this world, it is necessary t o, first, keep your body in good physical condition; second, keep your mind stimulated; third, keep motivated, and fourth, continually adopt better. methods of doing things." Dr; Hall, also outlined six practices he thought would prove a help i:r; going about everyday work. "Learn to like people; learn to get along with people; keep physically fit; be keen in supporting yourself, for in this way you must dig into your mental resources; be creative, and last but gram of a tour of Avery laboratory not least, give to the community." arid the high school student exDr. Hall said, "You are bearing periments to be presented by the Junior division, Nebraska acad- the light of civilization.

Jack Huston. progr am director and chief announcer of KFOR, spoke on the value of radio salesmanship at the meeting of the distributive education association Friday, April 25. Mr. Huston states, "The first principle in selling, is to sell yourself on the particular article first. After you sell yourself the battle is half over." He said that those who are to work out in public are expected to ~ave a pleasing personality, to be neat and clean, and to speak in a clear, pleasant voice. Radio stations sell space on the air to retailers who wish to have advertisements put over the air. The average price for a group of 30 announcements lasting three days runs about $200 to $300. Mr. Huston is in charge of putting programs together and making sure of getting t he correct time to the second. Plans are being made by the social committee of D. E. A, for a picnic to be held in the near future.

John Grasmick Hopes to Shun Work In Order to Make · a Measly Million By Beverly Jo Powell The ambitions, likes and dislikes of John Grasmick, 16-year-old junior , may seem unusual, startling and even fantastic, but the following answers which he gave during the interview should not be taken t oo seriously. John's plans for life do not necessarily include work. He plans to make his first million the second year he is out of college, and retire to live a life of luxury for the next ten years. "After t hat," he said, "I may be third dishwasher at Joe Schlunk's Short Order House (all wit h no work, of course). He has no other ambitions at this time, but to end up being the proud possessor of $6,000,000. His t alents are quite limited, as the only things he can do well are play the piano with his left foot (he isn't advanced so he uses only one toe now), and ·undedtand world history 2. In fact he even believes that he may have hidden ability for comprehending history which has never been realized. Collecting cork scr ews with left hand threads seems to be his hobby at the present, and for pastime, pleasure and recreation, he sleeps in histor;ii: class and spends long hours d~signing in-

John's musical appreciation is quite highly developed. Just to prove this statement - Tootsie Bungsnook a nd her sentiment al sacks (sax) absolutely sends h im. (Tootsie is the girl with sax appeal ). His favorite piece is "Who Threw the Overalls in Mrs. Murphy's Chowder?" and "Alcatraz, year '39, number 77777" is his favorite r ecord. The only answer which can even be imagined as b eing true is, "I was born very young." John's favorite type of person is, " The quite serious type like me." His fav9rite expression is "Drop dead," his pet peeve is people, and the one thing he has been inter ested in all his life is money. When asked about L. H . S. girls, he said, "You mean there are some in school?" (I don't know what he means either.) John, "Th e Intellect," made the brilliant decision that he woul d like to have his picture taken with a camera, so we humored him and you can see the results for yourself.

Picture of the Month As you probably gathered by the smiles, this was not a fight to the finish. Being only 2% and three years old, Kay Kay and Suzie hold no grudges because the fight was considered a draw. After all, they were just · learning and with ther big brothers teaching them the tricks of the trade, well, what can a gal do ? Kay Kay already has caught the knack of keeping her guard up. She seems to know her boxing, but Suzie mixes hers with wrestling. The trouble was in keeping them apart long enough for the neighbor, Nyla May Perry to take their picture. This is the winning shot in the camera cluo picture of the month contest.

Sc~ool Hand-Book Is Being Prepared
For Students Entering Ne-xt Semester A seventh edition of the Lincoln h igh hand-book is being prepared for students who will e nter Lincoln h igh at the beginning of the fall semester. The pur pose of these books is to present varied opportunities and serve as a guide to all pupils and teacher in everyday a dministration of school affairs. Comparing what appears to be the first edition published in the year 1921 and the last edition published in 1942-43, only ~ne maj or change has been made in the contents. A course and credits schedule h as been ad ded to the book in the last few editions. The present directory in general has omitted clubs and' various activities which have been dropped in school events and added new affairs pertaining t o students.
In the 1921 · edition, the plan of t he b uilding is explained, and in t he late edition, floor plans are d iagrammed. In the past years, clubs such as Meristem club, "all girls league," "student standa rd,'' "freshman girls club,'' have been dropped, or changed in name. Clubs which have been added since, are the business girls club, open to a ll girls interested in a business career, the ·cam era club, hobby club, Y-Teen, home economics club, Peppers and a few others. The new book will insert all changes in courses, h ours or new subjects.

Eligibility, Suspension, Expulsion from School Activities. Explained With student council elections, class officer elections, and club try-outs, the question of what is meant by the eligibility rules is coming up. Here is tpe way the student affairs committee interprets them. 1. Competitive school teams, usual State Association el igibility plus point system only. 2. All other activities subject to eligibility rules, shall be decided as follows: a. Previous semester: Failure to pass fifteen hours of work the previous semester renders pupil ineligible (his first six weeks of the second semester, eligibility after that time being determined by weekly reports.) This would not apply to a pupil not in school the previous semester who is eligible the first week · schol ars hip for current semester is passing. . (A pupil entering a new activity after the first six weeks is eligible by current weekly report. b. Citizenship: A pupil with any "major offense" as determined by the principal or assistant princitJals, or any net inferior ratings from two or more teachers in the immediately preceding semester* is ineligible for the first six weeks of the semester. A special report will be obtained for any pupil who desires to enter an activity after the first six weeks and who was ineligible in citizenship at the end of the previous semester.) •:' Interpretation: Inferior ratings from more than one teacher, which are not offset by as many or more superior ratings from more than one teacher. c. A date must be fixed for each activity at which time members are finally eligible or not eligible, in fairness to sponsor or coach of production. This would normally be when cast is finally picked, several weeks before. · performance date. Casts should not be chosen from pupils no weak that they are in danger of falling down scholastically during period of rehearsals as it is unfair to rest of cast and sponsors to have production fail, due to loss of ca.s t member. The students affairs committee is composed of teachers and student representa• tives. Two students are from the student council and two from the home room representatives. ' Part two, section B of the report is the one which needs explanation. A major offense is any act which the heads of the school rules to be of greater gravity than the ordinary more frequently occurring minor violations. A major offerise might involve gross insubordination, violation of board regulations, theft, etc. Whatever punishment is drawn applies to the current semester. F acts which . r eceive consideration when a type of punishment i s beir.ig decided ~:re 'J.11-i. a t v.tiil b?. t ::e best
..-thing for the person involved and if the l'lersoa i,vill not do aryt hing more to hurt the group at large. The attitude of the person is also considered. If the offense is something in which a governmental court takes an interest, the school usually keeps in close contact with it. Though the information t he court receives is considered, the decision of the school is not necessarily the decision reached by any court. Students can be suspended by the school principal or expelled from school by the board of education. When a student is expelled, he can n ever return to school. Susp ension is for a definite period of time, after which the student is allowed to return to school. The school, if it finds it necessary or desirable can exercise control over stud ent's going to a nd coming from school. The citizenship rating given a student at the end of preceeding semester is the one considered for his next semester's eligibility. If an ineligible student wishes, a special report will be obtained to see if he is now eligible. Rules for home room representatives and student council members are sometimes made by the organizations themselves, as in the case of home r oom representatives, who consider skipping school a r eason for dropping a member. The student council also set up t h e requirement that its members must maintain a grade average of 3.5, which is average or above for the school. The other two conditions for eligibility are self-explanatory.

OPEN FORUM To the Editor: Taking into consideration that the cornerstone of Lincoln high school was laid in 1913, the lighting system was no doubt goo,d for that time. Bµt now, for the sake of both the student's and teacher's eyes, in this day of such improved lighting systems, something should be done about the Lincoln high school system. It is true that high wattage light bulbs are being used, but the reflectors direct the light to the top of the room and this does v~ry little to improve the lighting. In some rooms the reflectors are down and there is bright glare which is harder on the eyes. On cloudy days yoµ hear many students complain C!f. tired eyes and headaches, which 'doesn't help their studying. What good is a new textbook if it injures your eyes to read it? If the school board is running short of funds, or doesn't have the money, what is there that should have more attention t han this. Wouldn't it be better to delay another project for a while, instead of running the risk of,injuring t he . eyes of a whole school? CHARLES WHITE.
lt's a Sad Fate When a Catfish's Father Is Killed ~y R. U. A. Catfish. My first memory is one of danger and sadness. At the age of five weeks I was swimming with my brothers and sisters in the calm waters of Dead Man's Creek,
wlnen <> big turtle came d own on
us. I was large for my age, almost · two and a half inch es long, and so my father and I swam side by side waiting to lead t he monster away from the rest of the family. Pop went to the deep water on the far side and I went the other way. The monster followed him so I went back to the rest of t h e family and got them home safely. · L ater Mother and I went out and after much searching came upon a ~ile of bones with Pop's name, I. B. A. Catfish, on. one: After his funeral, Mom was given a gold-plated hook with Pop's name . engraved on it by his BaitDodger's Club. During the next months I earned the living for the family by gathering worms for the new "Catfish Club," w hich had the first "builtin" Sand Bar in Nebraska. In the evening I took courses in "BaitStealing" and "Worm Stretching" at the Catfish Tech low school. Within three years I was the biggest 'cat' in the creek and chairman of our local committee on worm distribution. My wife, whom I had married the year before, presented me with 145 children. As I passed out wor ms, I began to feel ti!.at I was taking my place in the community as a respected family fish. The local "Council on Fish" sent me to the big dam as r epresentative to the annual convention of Catfish where I was honored by being elected president of t he river. Now, as I look forward to my fifth year as president, I can only thank all t he fishermen who stay at home for making all this possible.
Editor's Note: The revamping of the lighting system at Lincoln high school is listed as one of the early projects to be undertaken. This work involves considerably more 'than just replacing the fixtures in the class rooms. It will require redistribution of the electric load on the switchboard with an increase on the size and type of cables to carry the increased load, and may also involve replacing a portion of the wiring to the class rooms. Materials for .this type of repair are still scarce and deliveries slow. Strikes and the rapid increase in labor costs have made it impossible to obtain firm prices on· materials at the present time, and until this condition becomes stabilized somewhat, it is unwise t o undertake a project of this · size, due to t he uncertainty of the final cost.

Ex-Teacher In California Writes of Different Conditions in West Coast High Schools Miss Emma BeekII,lJinn, former history teacher at .Lincoln high school, is now teaching at Theodore RooseveH high school in Los Angeles, California. Miss Beekmann teaches varied subjects from senior PfOblems to Sociology and United States history 2. "The school I am in is interesting because of the mixture. of nationalities. among the students. One could never have racial intolerance and teach here. My cla.sses are made up of Japanese, Mexicans, Russians, Jews and Negroes. We work together iii complete harmony. "I.. have a terrible time learning to pronounce names. Fumi, Taki,. Carmen, Ofelia, Angel, Jesus and Carmellita are a few of the names in one class. The pupils are very linguistically gifted; All speak at least two languages," stated Miss Beekmann in a recent letter answering an Advocate request for news about her new position. .California schools differ from Nebraska schools, according to Miss Beekmann, in that they have many more smaller buildings, and nearly every department has a building of its own. "Truly, rain never seems to fall in Los Angeles, and young people here envy people who have snow . in the winter. California youths think they miss a great deal of run by not having snow. Spring in Nebraska has many lovely flowers which we do not have here. I miss the lilacs and the bridal wreath," declared Miss Beekmann. E. B. Phillips, former history teacher of Lincoln high school, who is now teaching at the Los Angeles City College, will soon be a full. time member. of the economics department of the University of Southern California, according to Miss. Beekmann.

Pete Kortum led off with a rousing double followed with singles by Bob Hubbell, Guy Nielson, Tom Wilson, Mel Knopp and Don Ruby. Boys Town also committed three miscues in this inning along with a walk given to Ray Howell. Howell had a good day on the mound, giving up only two singles to Boys Town. He whiffed seven B.T. batsmen and issued only two walks. He also scored two of Lincoln's runs and hit safely o.n ce in two official trips to the plate. Knopp spanked out three singles in four appearances to lead the Lincoln batters. Lincoln collected a total of seven hits off two Boys Town pitchers, Walt Gunnell and Tom Carodine. Gunnell fanned two Lincoln men; Carodine three, with each man giving two walks. The Summary:

A team that has gone somewhat unnoticed so far this spring is the Lincoln baseball squad. It now possesses a record of four wins and two losses. These games have all been played against Omaha schools and this record compares favorably with that of any of the Omaha teams. A unique, but very disappointing feature is the number of games that have been postponed. April showers have forced about six games to be postponed. The season's highlight thus far is the 19-0 pasting handed Omaha Benson~ Up to the Benson encounter, Lincoln hitting had been at a lqw level, but the Links teed off against Benson for a total of 18 hits. Top pitcher of the Links mound staff is Ray Howell who has pitched Lincoln to three victories. .H owell has two victories over Boys Town and one over Creighton Prep•. Merle Debus has a record of one win and two losses. Debus was on the mound when Lincoln had its big victory over Omaha Benson. Team members are waging a hot battle for batting honors. At pesent Howell, who has been in three games, is going at a .571 clip. Pete Kor tum is next in line with a .308 average. Five players . have appeared in all six games and of this group Bob Hubbell is tops with a .272 average. Mel Knopp is right behind with .262. TEAM BATTING AVERAGES, g a b Ir p ct.

'The Mikado,' Gilbert and S1;tllivan' s Fantasy ls Japanese in Costume and Scenery Only "The Mikado" is an opera which leads all others in its popularity with students. It contains all the ingredients that delight the heart of the performer as well as the audience. The opera is Japanese-but in scenery, costumes and makeup only. The ·situations and characterizations of the opera are purely Anglo-Saxon and no more like Japan than John Bull himself. Japan was considered a quaint little toy-like country in Gilbert and Sullivan's day, much as Bali or Tahiti is today. Nobody in that time ·knew very much about Japan and cared less. The plot of the opera is fantastic and absurd with no one but the performers themselves taking

'Illiterate' Students Cause Of Trouble on Stairwells
. Students Succeeding in Later Life Are Those With Grades and Character
Tt;> any visitor who walks the halls of Lincoln high, it .must seem that too many pupils are either blind or illiterate. And his opinion would be well justified. For, though the words 'up' and 'down' are printed in very plain letters on the walls of the stairwells, students are continually going up the 'down' side and down the 'up' side. Most of this "illiteracy" takes place during the classes when p\lpils refuse to take the necessary five or six steps to go down the right side of the stairwells. They naturally think that no one is con,iing up the stairs because classes are on, so down they go, heedless of safety. They do not stop to think that if someone with the same idea came up the stairs, the result could be a tragic accident. Even at this point, accidents could be avoided if students would walk instead of run up and down the stairwells. As a matter of fact, five or six steps is a small price to pay for the safety which it insures. Illiteracy is not the only cause for trouble on the stairwell, for it seems that some students are unable to stand up between the time they come to school and the time they go to home room. So they seat themselves on the stairs causing anyone who wants to go up or down a considerable amount of trouble. If there is no way in which these students can build up their strength, the least they can do is to find some place to rest where they cause no trouble. Although these problems seem trivial, they are essential to safety.
Of students with. very high. grades, ten will succeed where
Young Men Should Study English First and Most "For a young man, the first thing to study is English. You can hire men to do almost anything, but you have to speak for yourself," states Thomas V. Watson, president of the International Business Machines Corporation in the current issue of the Pathfinder magazine. This small but powerful quotation was brought to the attention of the English department by one of Lincoln high'.s coac~es, Bill Pfeiff who said, "Rather mterestmg statement, is it not?" Did you even stop to think this little statement through? "You can hire men to do almost anything." They will shine your shoes, brush your coat, clean your house, or even do your work.

to speak for yourself." They won't go and tell the president of the United States your. opinion of the strikes. They will not ask the boss for a raise. They won't ask your girl to marry you or your teacher to h~lp you with your work. To get along with everyone, you have to speak for yourself.
Campus Dons Spring Outfit; Let's Help Keep It Clean With the coming of spring, everything takes on a new and clean appearance. Flowers begin to ploom and buds appe3:r on. the trees. The girls begin wearing their- bnght new dresses to help keep fresh and cool during the oncoming warmth; boys change from heavy sweaters to light shirts, and everyone begins cleanup campaigns, both in the house and out-of-doors, such as the Lincoln high campus cleanup movement, Many of you may have noticed L.H.S. pupils working about ~he school grounds during home r oom periods. For the past week different home rooms have been working on certain sections of t~e grounds, cleaning them up. They are domg a good job and the appearance of the school has improved a great deal: Let us help_to keep it looking nice by puttmg all trash m waste baskets. Shrubs and bushes around the school are blooming and many pupils have beep careless about. picking these blossoms. This is harmful to the bushes and robs others of the joy of their lasting beauty.

only one will fail; of those with average grades, three will succeed where one will fail, and of those with very low grades, one will succeed where four will fail, according .to a chart in Trends, Education-Industry Cooperation. Character also plays a very important part in the success or failure of a graduate. This periodical claiins only ten percent fail because they lack necessary skill required, but ninety percent fail because they are "non-cooperative, lazy, careless, dishonest, non-ambitious or not courteous." Some universities are offering awards to encourage better English usage. Some factories are trying to work in recreation, social and physical training for
their workers. They believe that this will ease the strain on emotions and provide relaxation for employees so that there will be a better worker-employer relationship. Students of commercial schools have reecntly been touring factories as a part of their current behind the scenes study of industry. There are just as many new fields in industry for capable women as there are for men. Today women hold the same type of positions as men, the article states and should study to do so. Some positions, besides manufacturing, t hat can be held by women as well as men, are scientific research, pharmacy, stenographic work, operating clerical machines, photography and newspaper work.
Biology Pupil's Dreams Better All the Time Having retired after a day of reading supernatural stales and cutting out the insides of a frog, a biology student tells how she went to sleep and dreamed of a beautiful banquet held in memory of frogs and turtles who had lost their lives in biology War 2. · At the speaker's table, or rather the croaker's table, there were the veterans who had been former prisoners of war and who have escaped because of a jar top not being put back on a jar by the enemy, These veterans each gave a short croak on the subject of the torture their fellow comrades had experienced. The poor frogs had to stand several days in a jar waiting either to be cut up for examination or be pickled and kept for further examination. She was glad she awoke as. the food was being brought In.
Friendliness of Lincolnites Pleases Tourists Who Are Impressed by Capitol and College jerk," method. When you spend cash, you're a cust omer. When you're a customer you're always right-you're important and you want to be assured of it. Jim Lawrence, editor of a local newspaper, explains L incoln's courtesy in the following words: "We realize here that . we are a universal city. We get a lot .of visitors. The visitors are customers. It is our duty to be .nice to them, and it is likewise a pleas-
The extraordinary friendliness of Lincoln residents has a farreaching effect upon tourists and visitors to our capital city. In a recent copy of the Denver Post, Lincoln was highly praised for its friendliness and courtesy, The following was written about our city: Nebraska's modernistic state capitol is an architectural triumph. Its towering dome-surmounted spire which rises hundreds of feet above the city, is strikingly beautiful in the clear Nebraska sunlight. The state university is outstanding. And the city, itself, with its magnificent schools, churches, homes, and broad, smooth streets, is attractively inviting. Lincoln has a distinctive personality. . It enjoys great prominence in the community of Rocky Mountain Empire cities as a good place to make a home and r aise a family. This is very high coinm~dation
and praise for Lincoln. Yet, a city can have all these benefits and still lack one very important thing. Friendliness! According to one visitor to Nebraska' s capital city, the most impressive thing was the ext raordinary friendliness of the residents. Seldom before had he experienced such universal courtesy and genuinely-felt cordiality. He exclaimed that Lincoln seems to possess that highly desirable quality of "making strangers feel at home." This job of serving visitors and the tourist trade is a big one and takes the friendly coperation of all the residents of a city. Good service is essential in a city engaged in this business, Many people believe the practical notion (which is an excellent one) that it is much easier to extract change from the pants pocket by the "smile-and-thank-you" system than by the "pay-u~, you
Prizes Won by Pupils For Posters in Contest
Taking a Child to the Dentist Presents A Big Problem for Parent and Dentist
Richard Clasen, Gene Shipps and Elaine Clarke, all of Lincoln high school, won first, second and third prizes respectively in the recent poppy poster contest sponsored by the American Legion. Tl1e crir.kst was opened to three age classes. They entered the class for pupils from tenth to twelfth grades. Prizes were three dollars, two dolllars, and one dollar. · Judges for the contest were Mrs. Paul Royal, Mrs. C. L. Meek and Mrs. W. L. Albin,
Open Forum To The Editor: I h ave often wondered why the cafeteria does not have a washbasin built in along the lunch lines so that pupils would h ave a chance to wash t heir hands as they are waiting in line. The r estrooms are very inconvenient for pupils and faculty w)io are in a hurry, as most of us are. Surely it is not sanitary to eat a meal using hands that have been handling all kinds of germ-laden books, pencils, classroom utensils and locker dials and :pandles that others h ave been using all morning. It is almost as bad as eating with unwashed knives, forks and spoons. . There would be expense involved in installation of these wash-stands, along with towelracks and soap dispensers, but it surely would be worth it. Countless colds might be avoided, spread of ·disease and infection might be stopped if such an investment were made in the health of Lincoln high pupils and teachers by- putting in wash-stands in the cafeteria!

The best way to get your little brother to be on good terms with the dentist is t o inspire confidence in him by making the child believe the dentist is his friend (this only works on the first tdp, h()W-· ever, because even a child is bound to catch on sooner or later,) When the child is brought into the reception room, he should under no circumstances be prevented from examining every item, either in or on the receptionist's desk, as every phychologist knows there is nothing as dangerous as a restless child. If the child is old enough to read, wating problems are solved, for there will u ndoubtedly be a few magazines purchased when this particular dentist went into practice some 10 to 15 years ago. This type of m agazine with pages and p ages of case histories hold most children spellbound. Usually about here the dentist comes in and says, "You're next, sonny." At which t ime the child calmly, but with deadly aim throws the magazine straight at the dentist. An experienced dentist will usually be able to duck this type of
Girls Glee Club Sings At Veterans' Hospital Forty-five member s of the girls glee club sang at the Veterans' hospital Sunday, May 11. Sunday opened National Hospital week. Songs were r eligious and well received. The selections wer e, "0 Saviour Sweet," " Sun and the Warm Brown Earth," "The Lord's Prayer," "Dawn," and "A Little Song of Life."

Mayli, an American Born Chinese Girl, Searches for Lover in 'The Promise' Going from a proud, wealthy socially Chinese family, to fighting t wo wars with the Chinese and English armies is the lusty tale related in Pearl Buck's " The P romise." Mayli, an American born Chinese girl, who has returned to Chungking, finds herself in love with Sheng, a six-foot giant general in the Chinese army, Wh en Mayli finds out Sheng is about to leave on a death mission t o Burma, she uses all her resources, including her American influence, to find a way to go along. She goes to see the British commander. She persuades him, through his wife, to let her go along in charge of t he n urse•;. The fearful t rek through the steaming, reeking jungles, Ma.yli's and Sheng's constant search for each other, their miraculou:1 escape from the enemy an•'.i the
journey back home, all in all, form one of Pearl Buck's most exciting n ovels. Mrs. Buck's "The Patriot" is a fascinating tale of a wealthy young Chinamari who t urns r evolutionist. Finding t his out his father in fury, sends him to Japan. There he marries the daughter of his father's best J apanese friend. The continual mental perplexity between Chinese and Japanese and his return ·to Chiang Kaishek's army provide excellent r eading. "The Good Earth," also by Pearl Buck, takes you once again into t he intrigbing land of opium and ricksha boys. Not in the Lincoln high library, but worth the time to get, it is "Ricksha Boy" by Lou Shaw. This is the fast-paced life of a Chinese ricksha boy, his beginning in the business and his tangled love life.,
Handwriting Tells Many Traits and Characteristics Have you ever wished you knew what your friends and enemies ar e r eally like? There is an answer to your wish called handwriting character a nalysis. Notice how that boy across from you dots his ''i's" with circles? Confidentally, he is .a little eccen~ tric and susceptible to fads. Teachers may be interested in knowing that the very small handwriting found on some test papers is really a sign. of gelfius, even if the answers don't show it. Handwriting analysis· does not foretell the future or reveal the past. It is a scientific plan which many firms use to determine the character of applicants and therefore ask that applications be written by hand. People who use star-shaped t's are sensitive and vecy susceptible to flattery, Beware of the persons who make snake-like endings to their. words. They are second Benedict Arnold's with sly and tricky natures. After reading this you may wish to change your handwriting hlightly, but you may as well know. that it won't do you any good. The same characteristics show up even w hen you watch your "p's" and "q's."

"We like to keep our city clean, morally and otherwise. We want parents to know they can safely send thir childr en here to college. We strive to maintain a proper environment." This is the opinion of one Lincoln resident. The majority of our city's residents feel this way. They want to be proud of the city they hail from.

attack, but younger members of the profession have been known to come out of a thing of this type with n othing less than a nosebleed. Having been strapped into t he chair, the child's next objective is to make himself u nwanted, ·which for the average six-year-old is comparatively easy, He may begin by doing any one of a number of things, including shooting a blast of compressed air at the nurse as she hurries by w ith a tray of instruments. Statistics show that nine out of t en nurses immediately scream and spread instruments all over the floor, Another favorite of the playful kiddy is to squirt a stream of cold water at the dentist. If the child has had any experience at this type of thing it invariably hits the dentist somewhere between the left and the right eye. Children have an instinctive dislike for the dentist's drill and when the dentist makes the mistake of using it, the child will usually wait for the first opportunity and then bite down hard on the dentist's h and. On leaving the dentist's office members of the staff will please refrain from making any offer to bury the child. immediately free of charge. This type ·of offer is usually refused by the gu ardian · anyway, as a matter of a courtesy to the child's parents.
Too Bad, Egbert; Homework Must Be Done at Night Egbert was u sually very bri:ght and studious but, as everyone else, he has his faults. Instead of doing his homework, one night, he went over to visit his best pal, Humphrey. T he next morning in home room period Egbert tried to catch up on his homework, but the girls sitting next to him kept t alking and laughing across the aisle. In first and second periods he got by without reciting, but in third period the t eacher .called on him. Since he didn't know the answer t o her question, he slumped down and tried t o hide behind the boy in fr ont of him, pretending not to hear the question. Again the t eacher asked him t o r ecite, only louder this time. Finally Egbert was f orced to admit he had not prepar ed his work. Now Egber t studies at least one h our · every night and when he is called upon to recite he is able to give a sensible answer at least.
'Lilac Week' Observed In Lincoln May 11-18 Many Lincoln homes have one or more lilac bushes blooming in their yards and because lilacs ar e always in full view during a Lincoln springtime, Lincoln has been named the "Lilac City.'' "Lilac Week" will be observed for the first t ime t his year, The week of May 11 to 18 · was chosen. Ernest Herminghaus, of the park department, picked it as the week when lilacs would be at their best. With the aid of all its citizens, other cities have become famous because of distinctive flowers. Holland, Michigan, is well known for its tulips, and Mobile, Alabama, is noted for the Azal ea Trail. So Lincoln, with the cooperation of every,. one, incl uding students, may some day claim. fame for its lilacs. The women's division ot the chamber of commerce initiated the observance.

Elections were held May 5. A panel on boy and girl relationships, composed of Frank Piccolo, Robert Phelps, Robert Mosher, Alice Jo Smith, Beverly Reed, and Margaret Eastman, answered many perplexing questions for girls at the meeting. Girls learned that'the first thing a boy notices about a girl is her personality, clothes and shoes. They were also told such things as ''be yourself," "don't act sophisticated," when to dress up and when to wear saddles, sweaters and skirts, different views on "going steady," and how girls · rate with boys in various other instances. A question prominent in the minds· of many girls at the present system was also answered. The boys said, "It's all right for girls to ask boys to a formal dance like a Job's or Rainbow dance because that's the way to find out who likes whom." Other questions answered were ''How much lipstick should we wear'!" and "What . about good night kisses?"

The mere accident of an ancient highly decorated Japanese sword which had b een suspended by a silken thread on the wall for over thirty year s crashing to the floor in W. S. Gilberfs study, gave Gilbert t he, idea of a different kind of comic opera, a gay Japanese story. Immediately he started to work on the score, contacted Ar thur S ullivan who started t o set down t he words. Before a month had passed, t he team h ad the rough outline and a lar ge part of this b eautiful fairy-like opera, "The Mikado," completed. Japan in those times was little known to the west ern nations. She w as not then open to the n ew i deas of the western world which later t urned her into t he most prog ressive of t he orient al countries. Queen Victoria of England had presented Japan with a battleship ·and in r eturn the Japanese had built a model Japa nese village in the British Isles somewhere near Knightsbridge. Gilbert and Sullivan used p arts of this village as t he .set ting for their oper a, "The Mikado." Two men were ,nev~r mor e suited for their wdrk. than W. S. Gil· bert and his mu S!.cal collaborator, Arthur Sullivan, w h o together made up t he team of Gilbert and Sullivan. Together t hey wrote mor e than a dozen comic operas in less thari 20 years, among t hem " The Go nd olie rs," "Iolanthe," "H.M.S. Pinafore," "Utopia, Limited" and one of their m ost populllr , " The Mikad o," wh ich w as ·produced at the height of their writing career in 1885. In 1898, Gilbert a nd Sullivan became Sir William Gilbert and Sir A rthur Sullivan by the touch of the King of England's swor d, and
after accepting their knighthood, t hey n o longer collaborated on joint theatrical writings. Sir Gil bert dwelt on t he operas he had brought to t he attention of the w hole world in a brief span of twenty years, and in his failing year s before his death in 1911 he tur ned "Th e Mikado" into storybook form for children. There is m uch in "The Mikado" to r emind one of cherry blossoms in the spring-the color is alluring, t he fragran ce is refreshing and t he biossoms, with fluttering petals, are a sure reminder that THAT season is h er e. The flicking of fans is heard like bir d wings; t he shuffle of feet, padded with orient al footwear, mixes well with the r ustle of sashes t hat sound like butterflies in a spring br eeze. The play itself takes form in two acts. The first is in the courtyard of Ko-Ko's official residence. Japanese nobles are standi111i and sitting around in peculiar p ositions as the curtain rises. The chorus beginsu it you want t o know who we are,

This is how this most cherished and humorous of Gilbert and Sullivan's operas begins. The second act is in the garden of the palace. Tickets Going Rapidly Many ticket s .for "The Mikado" h ave been sold to L.H.S. pupils as well as Lincoln citizens who are interested in comic opera.

Council Finishes Year's Business Council members began the job of winding u p affairs in preparation for the newly elected cduncil in the meeting of the student council, Wednesday, May 14. . Seven recommendations to be given the new council were m ade, one recommendation was: That in case of a tie for last place in the student council primary elections, as happened this year, b oth per son's n ames will appear on the final ballot. If a tie does occur in the final election a coin is flipped to decide the outcome. A new system of register ing for ·council elections was also suggested. The last recommendation w as, that class officers assume the d uty of condu cting all parts of the election' of class officers, except the counting of the ballot.c;, w hich is done by t he members of the national honor society. Council members were war ned that their different written committee reports are t o be due by the beginning of the next council meetin~

Grades and Dependability A re Essential to Athletes
You Can Learn to Cook Tasty Meals In 'You Can Cook If You Can Read'
There are, it seems, too many pupils who come from the junior high schools with the intention of becoming athletes and not to get an education. These students seem to think that if they are good enough athletes they can participate in . the school's athletic pro• grams no matter how poor, their grades are; They are, however, very surprised as . ...... well as unhappy when their names are put under the ineligible list. There are also those athletes who presume that if their grades are up and they are exceptional in athletics, they need not come to the practice sessions .as the other fellows do. They too are sqmewhat unhappy when the coach selects the more dependable of two fellows whose athletiC abilities are almost equal. This choice is very logical, for any business man would also pick a dependable man for advancement. It is very reassuring to know that when a fellow says he will be somewhere at a certain time, he will at least try his best to be there. Important as athletics are, surely educa• tion and dependability must come first. As a matter of fact most of the country's most successful athletes usually have both these qualities. For they are essential to any athlete in any field of sports. A boxer can hardly succeed if he trains only a few of the times he is assigned, or is so uneducated that he knows nothing but to go into the ring and start swinging. The football player must be very dependable in order to learn the various plays and while learning these plays it helps a great deal if he can concentrate on teamwork instead of trying to remember plays not thoroughly learned. A good education can assure this. And so it goes·in :i.11 the sports. Of course there are many other qualities· needed, but an athlete can hardly hope to succeed without knowledge and dependability.
If you are one of the common variety of girls who was not born with a spoon and mixing bowl in her hand, then prick up your ears because here is a chance to learn to cook: and be your own teacher. According to "You Can Cook If You Can Read" by Muriel and Cortland Fitzsimmons, all you .need is a good can opener, a pair of eyes, common sense and adequate supplies, and you will be able to prepare as tasty a meal as a mother ever set ·before her favorite son. There is no mystery about cook· ing. It is not an art which dem ands a special talent, but a skill which you c:an learn. Imagine yourself in a frilly apron serving a delicious meal to an admiring and surprised family. Why not try it? Let's start with the meat-nothing is better than roast beef and directions are given from the buying to the serving ip. simple terms. (?age 96)
Gratituile ShYJuid Be Shoivn In Ways Other Than Gifts With the end of the semester comes graduati.on and mingled thoughts of gradu...' ating students. While a few graduating students give a sigh of relief and are very joyous, to most of the class, graduation brings b a c k thoughts of years past. Now that it ap, proaches, they sheepishly admit that they would do it all over again if they could. , Along with thoughts of sadness comes thoughts of gratitude to teachers, to sponsons and the Pel'SOllS who have l'leiped make their high school days happy ones. It. is at this time each year that the board of education must ask that students not give any gifts to· sponsors or to teachers. The reasons for this ruling are quite obvious. When you leave high school you are hardly able to state which teacher or sponsor did you the most good. And in many cases gifts are given to teachers who are only popular at the time. Then too, when a collection goes around for a gift for a certain person, many students who cannot afford to donate any money, or pupils to whom the receiver of the alleged gift has administered no special service~, donate money so that everyone else will not think they are cheapskates. Are then, teachers and sponsors to receive no gift of gratitude? "They most certainly should," stated M. C. Lefler, superintendent of schools, "'but a letter or scroll signed by the class officers will take the place of a gift in 95 per cent of_ the cases." Gifts by individuals outside of school do not fall under the jurisdiction of the board of education and therefore are not discouraged. . "I think it would be very fitting for any student to invite some teacher whom he thinks has helped him a great deal for. a dinner at the student's home," said Mr. Lefler. Mr. Lefler also suggested an assembly to honor sponsors.

Baked potatoes on the h alfshell are always appetizing. (page 212); or you could cook the potatoes with the roast. As for dessert, the selection is wide, so pick one out yourself, (pages 296-319) That meal is not a daydream, but it does take a little time and work and a helper like "You Can Cook If You Can Read" to turn it into a reality, .

"The Young Men's Christian Association is chiefly a boys' organization," said B. K. Kniffen, who is the boar~ secretary of Y. M. C. A. in the Lincoln chapter. "The boys ought· to have a place to ·s pend their time where they could enjoy it." The Y. M. C. A. was stated on these principles and it has stood by them since 1854. "At. the present time," continued Mr, Kniffen," one-half of the employees at the Y. M. C. A. are students who are trying to work their way through 'school." The Y, M. C. A. gives preference to students over men and women because that · is among their principals. "The boys club, which is located in the basement of the main building of the Lincoln chapter," announced Kniffen, "is to be the best in this part of the United States. Although the boy's club membership does not pay for itself, the rest is to be paid by the Community Chest."

Helping Employees With Problems ls Another Duty of Personnel Director Hiring new employees is not the only duty of a personnel director, according to Ray Ramsey, director of personnel for the city. "If an employee comes to me with a personal problem, I try to iron it out. A satified employee does the best work." Mr. Ramsey stated that the duties are two-fold, employee hiring and employee welfare. After the application of the person wishing the job has been filled out, the real work begins. His credit rating is Checked and . it must be A-1. A city employee is never allowed to be sued because of unpaid bills. Then he is checked for criminal offenses. Mr. Ramsey sets all beginning wages which gives more equality than if each department set its own. There are three automatic $5 raises, each six months apart. Following that a raise must be approved by the council. "Each department sets its own vacation schedule. However. we keep a card file on all sick leaves. An employee must work one year
before being eligible for a twoweeks vacation. He is also allowed one day of sick leave for every month he works. "The employees are not affected in any way by a change in the council or new mayor," Mr. Ramsey remarked. "The employee may not be discharged for political reasons but he is not allowed to take part in any political activities." Employees of the city are governed by the merit system, a sys. tern similar to civil service. If the employee is discharged and he believes it was unfair, he is entitled to appeal his c;:ise. Three persons who are not connected with the city are called in and both sides are heard. If the 'committee feels that the employee has been treated unfairly, he is reinstated and goes back to work. Mr. Ramsey said that he believed these traits constitute a good worker; the ability to do the work, desire to do it well, ability to work with other people and the desire for a per~anent position.

Merlin W iltfang Will Be Happier With New Streets With the passing of the law which provides for paving or graveling of the unpav ed streets a nd alleys, many p ersons will be much happier. One of these is Merlin Wiltfang, who says he is sick of having a muddy r oad in iront of his h ou se when it r ains. According to Merlin, there are man y other inconveniences to dirt str eets, one of which is the dust which blows when t he roa ds are dry. He says that it's almost impossible for the family wash to be hung outdoor s wh en the roa d is dry. M erlin also says that his dad will be glad to pay his p art in paving the road and so would all the neighbors. "The people feel th at it is hardly fair to b e t axed for r oads, but have no street in front of their houses. They deserve a ny convenience that the rest of the c ity receives." Wiltfang, w ho is senior in high school, says that there a re many nights w hen h e either stays at home or walks to the bus line r ather than plow through the mud in the car. The people have voted to pave the streets. Now it is up to the city to get them paved.
Lefty Barry Vogelmann chalked up his first win of the season, Tu esday, May 13, on the Muny diamond, as Lincoln downed Mill ard 6-5. The Links put down a seventh inning rally by Millard to win. Millard went into the seventh trailing 6-2 and pushed across three m ore runs before Lincoln halted them. Pete Petersen was the whole show for M illard. Besides fanning fifteen Lincoln batters he banged out two hits in four trips t o the plate. He hit the game's only extr a base blow with a triple in the sixth. Lincoln took an early lea d, scor ing t wo r uns in both the first and second innings. The final tallies came in the fifth on t wo h its and .three Millard errors. Allan Br etzer led the Lincoln attack with two hits in four appear ances at the plate. Bartels and Petersen e ach had t wo for four for Millard: Vogelmann fanned nine, walked three and gave up seven hits. P etersen walked three while giving up eight h its. The summary:

Since the retiremen t of Byron Nelson from the .golfin g world, ii has b een wondered if he was better than Ben Hogan. In the opinion of Ralph " Bud" Williamson, Lin,!!oln professional golfer, "Lord" Byron was the better. · " I believe that it is hard to compare the two, as Byron was in his p rime while Hogan w as in t he ser vice," stated Mr. Willia mson. "Golf d epends a lot on t h e breaks, ·but Byron h ad a swing t hat he could regulate w ith the utmost accur acy. His consistent scoring also proved h is ability. "With the great strain Byron Nelson h ad· been under, playing tournament golf for so long a period withou t a r est , a lmost anyone's ner ves an d back would need a rest;" Mr. Williamson ex plained. " I think Ben Hogan is probably the best golfer of t he d ay but his average scoring record doesn't compar e w ith t hat of Byron's thr ee years ago," he commented.

State championships have been completed in all sports in Nebraska for the 1946-47 season and a review and prospects for next year of Lincoln high in sports is now in order. Lincoln was victorious in two out of six team championships. The Links won the golf and .swimming crowns, second in foot ball and basketball, t ied for second in teanis and ranked sevt:-nth in t-rack. The golfers came out on top in the r ecent tourney, winning by thr ee strokes over Omaha South. All three of Lincoln's t op players, Chick Battey, Erwin P eter son and Joe Giffor d, will be ba ck again next year. The swimming squad, victorious over Omaha Tech for the crown, has a number of returning lettermen to brighten next year's outlook. B asketball al'ld football t eams were stopped from possible championships by Grand I sland . The Isla nder s upset Lincoln 6-0 in t he last foot ball game of t he year and won from Lincoln in t he finals of the b asketball tourney. Fir st team members w ill be lost to both squads, but enough substit ut es may return to present formidable threats in these sports. The track team h ad no individual stars for a chance at the stat e crown, but won all other meets with a well balanced t eam. No state tourney was held in baseball. With only one baseball game played since the last battin g· aver ages, n o serious. changes were made in t he standin<gs. The game wi.t h Millard was played mostly w ith substit utes. Ray Howell is still· ·top batt er, with a .556 average, follow ed by Bretzer . Seas(}n's Records. Lincoln 4, Boys Town 1. Lincoln 1, Omaha Central 4. Lincoln 7, Creighton Prep 5.

John Niederhaus Will Receive High Sch·ool Diploma After. Having Overcome Difficulties After eight years, a war, an automobile accident and much hard work, John Niederhaus, 23, 918 North Seventh street, is going to get a Lincoln high school diploma this June. And now that he has the feel of this education business, John figures he may make use of his GI benefits for more study, But that's getting ahead of tl:i.e story. After one semester in the tenth grade at Lincoln· high school .in 1939, John was forced to leave school for work. First there were beet fields and farms. War came and he got a job with the Burlington railroad at 18. When the U. S, S, Houston went down in 1942 and his older brother, George, was reported missing, John wanted to join the navy, His parents, Mr. and Mrs, J acob Niederhaus, demurred, but finally consented. The r ecruiters rejected John, but less than t wo months later the draft didn't. J ohn got in the navy after all. For 12 months, the navy sent John to school at the University of Minnesota and in Washington, D. C. He boarded the . transport U . S. ~. Starlight, . as an electrician's mate. During the n ext 14 ~onths his ship was in the invasion of Guam, . Luzon, Leyte and Okinawa. There followed a brief tour of duty with another transport, the ·Winsor, and then a discharge from service in April, 1946. . Meanwhile, John learned that bis brother survived the Houston sinking and 42 months of. Japanese prison camps,
Back in Lincoln, John returned to his job with the railroad, but was seriously injured in an automobile accident near Exeter last January. Accepted at the Lincoln Veteran's hospital as an emergency case, John was· still strung up in a suspension when he heard about the· re-training course offered at the hospital by the Veter.a ns Administration. He decided to enroll. R, T. 0, Satre, ·re-training director, wrote to Lincoln high school, asking that John's service school ~ecord be evaluated. The high school replied that in view of J ohn's extensive service schooling lie would be eligible for a diploma provided he could pass the gen:.. eral education development t esta standard examination- with an average of: 42 points. John went to work. Under the bedside tutelage· of Mrs. Claire M. Bell, VA re-training instructor, he reviewed English. literature and grammar, spelling, mathematics, social studies including history, and natural science, He passed the examination with an aver age of 65 points, ·23 more than the high school required. "I always wanted that diploma," John says. "You about have to have a high school education these days to get a job. Now, if I can work it out, I'd like to take some good practical college stuff'-you know, correspondence or at night, so I could keep my job at the &ame time."
Other G.I's using military training· to.w ard graduation are F ranklin Brinkworth, Joe Cusimans, Robert Folden, Bill G. Johnston, Paul H. Tracy, Fred McKee, Dorothy Sall Hooper, J eS°!';e Haith, P erry Sheldon, Ernest A , Dietze, Harry Davis, Richard Couture, Donald Stephens, Virgil Reinke, Kenneth E. James, Don Bryant, Harry K J ennings,· Orville L. Shieve, Charles ·L. Freeman and Verne E. Kruse. Along with radio repair, motor winding and the repair of household appliances, the electric shop is kept busy getting ready for the closing of school. Some of the other activities carried on in the shop are lathe work, electric arc welding, the building of the miniature elevator in the shop, the repair of the. Lincoln high school scoreboard, and building things to improve the shop. To keep the class working all semester,. teachers and students bring household appliances, motors, and r adios into the shop t o be repaired, This sort of work is good experience for the students and helps them learn the trade much more easily and faster. All the work benches were rearranged and part of them painted green, the shop color. New this semester are a large motor generator unit and a sma.ll motor generator unit, both mounted on cement platforms. 'Fhese can be useful to the shop for training of the students.

Farewell and Good Luck To Seniors From Advocate At last it's here! That time which seniors have been dreaming of ever since grade school graduation. According to Mr. Webster, graduation is "the act of receiving a degree or the diploma of a school." That may be true according to Mr. Webster but graduation means a great deal more to those persons who are about to receive that diploma. It means a time of excitement and anticipation, a time of gifts and plans, a time of uncertainty, a time to look backwards at what has happenedand then to look forward to the future with high hopes and expectation. Graduation, besides tl:ie lighter side of gifts and announcements, has its very serious aspects. It is the ending of a period of one's life, a period when we have been mostly under the guidance of our parents and school and without many serious decisions to make. Now, school over, the graduating senior must make some serious choices-on his own! To those going to college, another -period of school life is ahead, though they are more nearly on their own than in high school. For those who are not attending college, a complete change· is in store. If they have planned for it wisely, they have probably studied and prepared themselves for ·a certain type of .work so they will be able to get a job right away. Others, not so wise, may see the future looming ahead as a large question mark-What to do? As these persons look back on their high school days and then forward, they are likely to get a lost feeling inside, seeing a mistake such as a wrong choice of curriculum which has spoiled some of their chances. They envy the sophomores who are able to plan their school work so as to do the best possible for the future. As the senior looks backward, he sees all the things which he considered the toughest about high school are now his fondest memories. All the fun of high school days is over, all the activities, sports, and yes, even the studying. But look to the future, seniors! You're all going to shine brightly in that future life of yours. Just try to remember a little of what you learned here at L. H. S. and keep up the good fight and before you know it you'll have conquered all the obstacles that come your way. Here's wishing all the luck and success in the. world to some really swell kids-the graduation seniors. From The members of the Advocate Staff
Memorial Day Should Be Observed in Proper Way Once again the day is approaching on which Americans dedicate one day to r elatives and friends who have passed away. This year Memorial day will probably be observed with fewer t ears, but with an cequal amount of sincerity. F or m a n y per sons, the deaths of loved ones are not so recent since the end of the war. And in years to come, the gallant war dead will probably be remembered less and less. Certainly this should not be, for if peace r eigns, it will be because of the efforts of these_men and wom~n. Surely if the people at large think that Memorial day is· important enough that school should be dismissed, then students should be able t o observe the day with all sincerity instead of using it only for a means of enjoying themselves.
Of course there are persons who have no graves of friends or relatives to decorate on this day. But it would certainly be very fitting for them to sympathize with the others by observing this day as it should be observed.
Student Council Elected; Now You Support .Them! The student council for 1947-'48 has been elected. Every effort has been made to equalize r epresentation. The· Advocate published quite a bit of material on the election, photographs and activities of candidates were posted, and an assembly was given to introduce the candidates and to explain about the vot ing. All of this seemed to do a little, but not enough good, for again only about 56% of the school voted in the primaries. In the final election an increase of about 4 °la was shown over the primaries. . You, the students, have elected your student council. Now it is up to you to back their rulings and decisions.

Question of the Week: What would you do if you were given a Heimskringla for graduation? Fran Wallace : I'd make Kathy Schreiber eat it. Bob Saddoris: I'd cut holes in doughnuts with it. Bonnie Applegate: I would put it in my hope chest ~nd save it for my children. Dick Means: I don't know. Shirley Herpolsheimer: I'd change the name and give it to Bob Phelps for his birthday. Ruth Mack: I'd make it take my entrance exams for University. Shirley Fried: I'd wear it around my neck. Joanne Nootz: I'd cut it up and practice first aid on it. Jacqueline Schaaf: Chop it up and put it in a boy's locker. Sam (Texas) Manatt: I'd chew it up and spit it out for :nails. Note: "Heimskringla" is a word in Norse literature written by Snorr i Sturluson. In looking for someone to interview we spied Bill Leonard. So-o-o-- we asked him to write an English essay. He took us seriously and here's what happened: On Using Good English Before I took this English course of mine leaving a comma out of a sentence was easy as r olling off a log only it hurts more. I did it all the time but now as a matter of fact my punctuation is perfect like my handwriting. · Never yet; to . my knowledge; have I used this semi-colon incorrectly. I had never ever heard of how to wrongly split an infinitive. I am glad to really be able to happily take this Of!· portunity to graciously show ':llY appreciation of my. wonderful course m the form of this essay. Once leaving a verb out of a sentence easily. But now; as for leaving sentences dangle, I never. always I capitalize on the begining on each Sentence For i Am A Firm believer In capitalism. Before gaining my knowledge of E nglish, I might have made any of t he following common errors: I didn't have nothing to say Ten bucks says Phillies win the penent.. of course, I now know these should be r espectfully ; I hadn't had nothing to say Ten bucks says Dodgers win penent. If you should ever want a testinmonial on this virtue of taking an English course let me. No?
Caesar's defeats and victories have been the topic of discussion in Miss Elizabeth Crone's and Miss Marie L. Cross' Latin 4 classes in the last few weeks. Methods used by Caesar and his enemies in war, showed the attacks and strategies used in long ago Rome. Some of the countries studied are Germany, Bri tain, Gaul, Suebia, Mariana and the Roman empir e. The Atrebatians, Marians, Suebians and Romans are found to have been barbarous in warlike methods which they used. The rise a nd fall of the Roman Empire is connected largely with Caesar's defeats and victories.

Alibi Ike Always Has Excuses Lined Up When in an Accident Big figures may confuse you, but when it is reported that $1,450,000,000 are spent each year for motor vehicle accidents, the numbers are too great to pass by, unnoticed. This can be simplified to one person, one act, one accident; over and over again. . Have you ever heard Alibi Ike? He always has a long list of excuses lined up after he's been involved in an accident .. There are many like him. What they tell the judge: "My speedometer started to make a noise, so I looked down." "I was looking over my shoulder at the clock in the tower." "I was trying to straighten up the person Cl.Sleep on my shoulder." What then do you do when· you drive? Does this make sense or not? The important thing is that motorists and pedestrians are now being killed in traffic on £treet and highway, in greater number than ever before for the first quarter year. The year 1941 was a peak yea r for the natio n, 40,000 motor fatalities. That M arch, Nebraska
of
had only 7. This March, 1947, there were 25. Are children smarter than dogs? The pup that lives across the street was struck by a car. He was in the hospital for quite a while. Now he is home agiHn, but he's changed. He's blind in one eye. It shouldn't happen to a dog! Yet, every day you see children taking the same chance!
