Cheer Leaders Chosen By Neiv Fair Plan To initiate a better policy of fairness and to give every contestant an even chance, a new method of electing cheerleaders for Lmcoln high has been chosen The prellmmary action m choosmg the group of finahsts has not been definitely decided upon, but a new and dec1dely fair method of selectmg the cheerleaders from the finahsts has been put into practice Last spring any one who wished to try out for cheerleader, gave his or her apphcation to one of the Pepper sponsors, and then tried out before a Pepper's meeting From these the fmahsts were chosen In former years, the fmal contestants have had their fmal tryouts before an assembly and Judged from the stage This year's contestants were given every chance to show their cheerleadmg abihty They were given a number, for identification, to pm on their clothing where it could be plamly seen Then all of them led cheers at the Friday game The home room representatives and alternates, had been given ballots with numbers, correspondmg to the numbers of the contestants The representatives and alternates, after seeing every one of them perform, then checked the numbers of the contestants they desired, and handed m the ballots at the gate The new cheerleaders were determmed from the countmg of the ballots This is a better plan than previously used.

Courtesy Outside School Essential to Well Being Your school day ends with your last class or club meetmg, but you are still a representative of your school to the general public The pedestrian crowded off the sidewalk by you and your friends, walkmg four abreast, mutters angrily, "Those g1gglmg high school kids thmk they own the whole street 1" On the other hand, the lady you help on the bus may tell her family, "The mcest high school boy picked up my packages and gave me his seat" Let's make our school known for its wellmannered students Don't attract attention by bemg loud or boisterous Be considerate of others, especially older people When walkmg along the street, leave room for others to pass Don't stand m the middle of the sidewalk If you're waitmg for a bus, move to the curb If you're "1ust talking," contmue the conversation later mdoors These days crowded conditions on pubhc conveyances make it important to be considerate of others Stand back for older people to get aboard first Have your change ready before you enter and move towards the rear of the car immediately Don't chatter loudly or practice acrobatics, swmgmg from a strap Offer your seat to a woman, an older man, or anyone laden with ti::i"k!lg:eci or ::ir('nmp::in1"r'l hy " vPr" ,,,."TD2" cluld ThaL::, l-OUrte::.y'

1llany Pupils JI alue Grade; Too Few Value Knowledge Unfortunately, m all student groups are to be found some mdiv1duals who are satisfied merely to 'get by' A grade m the course rather than an attempt to master the subJect is the goal of too many pupils If they could only picture themselves a few years hence when they are out of school and trymg to qualify for an important 1ob, they would reahze how great a mistake it is to strive only for passmg grades m their subJects A medical student was once feehng badly because he received a grade of only 98 per cent on an exammation When asked why he was not satisfied with that grade, he replied, "The part I had wrong might mean the difference between hfe and death for one of my future patients " Bank tellers, for mstance, cannot be satisfied with bemg right 95 or even 97 per cent of the time It is their iob to be 100 per cent right at all times and the dependab1hty of the bank is Judged partly on the accuracy of its employees Mastery of each sub1ect, rather than a passmg grade and a credit, is far more important In this respect, the attitude of any student helps to form tne preva1lmg attitude of the group and is a greater mfluence on his immediate associates than is usually realized

Each r epresentative is expected to take charge of the election in his own home room, count, tally and t urn in the vote count. The question as to whether the representatives shall wear arm bands or carry passes, left undecided at the last meeting, was brought to a vote. The vote was very close, so it was decided to have a committee take charge of the question, and the committee will make the final decision. Miss Ruth Hall, sponsor, read the c9nstitution of the o rganization and stated tha t there w o uld have to be some changes made in its contents.

Gilbert Tells How to Hunt

Dancing in Gyn1; Game and Study Rooms Offered

"Shooting a gun from the open window of a car is a unsportsmanlike and a dangerous thing to do," declared Paul Gilbert of the state hunting and fishing commission. Mr. Gilbert was the speaker for the double assembly, Monday, October 13. He spoke on precautions to be taken while hunting and also told of some ot ·his experiences. Mr. Gilbert emphasized that this year one could shoot only two pheasants a day as pheasants were not so numerous this' year as in previous years. He commented that he has seen hunters do many crazy things, .but while they may seem humorous at the t ime ;ire not funny at all. Many accidents are the result of careless gunha ndling. Guns Can Harm "Law enforcement a nd management is to protect the birds and hunting should be thought of as a sport and not as a way of se" curing food," stated Mr. Gilbert. "Don't just take a gun and go out; a gun is a dangerous thing and should be used as a source of pleasure only", he warned. He explained that a rifle may be disastrous up to one mile. The speaker said that one does not need to go to Colorado, Wyoming, or Minnesota or the Dakotas for the atmosphere for hunting and fishing. The Pine Ridge count ry in Nebraska is a near image of the Black Hills and N ebraska has many clear water trout streams with almost as many fish as Minnesota. He also remarked that he has seen and shot wildcats right here in Nebraska. " I challenge you to get away from the artificiality of the cities". declared Mr. Gilbert, "and u se some of the technique that you have learned." Hunting Demonstration Offered. Mr. Mardis ~aid that if ;;uHicie11t interest W<ls shown . that Mr. Cilbe1t 01· a member o[ his tle.rartment would be asked to come tu Lincoln high school the first part of next week and speak 011 poi nts tor good hunter~ ill r emember.

Bow many pupils really want to dance in the gymnasium at noon.? This isn' t asking if you wa nt t o stand around gossiping about last night's date, as that can be done anywhere and a special room shouldn't ha ve to be provided for such a cause, or shooting baskets or finishing your lunch. H. C. Mardis explained; "We'll be glad to provide dancing in t he boys gymnasium as soon as a sufficient number of. students desir e it and promise to use the space for dancing, and not use it for a three ringed circus." He continued to my that there will have to be a sufficient number ·of volunteers who are willing to give part of t heir lunch period to organizing and making dancing a recreation t hat will n ot be for just a few students but for the majority of pupils. If this plan goes into progres~. it w ill be up to the students them-

selves to do all t he work, as it will be for them, and should not fall as a burden on the teacher·s. There will have to be a committee who will be responsible for selecting the records. La st year the school bought a few new records and it is willing to do so agai n t his year if the students pick the records they would like. Also many of the stude nts loaned their own r ecord s t.o the school so there could be a l arger variety of pieces. There will also be a committee o( three or tour pupils who will be denied their lunch period to play the records over t he sound system and another committee to patrol the gymnasium to see that students dance and behave in the proper manner. .An announcement will be called over sound in the home room to ask for volunteers for ~hese vat·ious committees. A game room and ;:ll 1dy rnom will not he provided unl il 11ie d;.;11cing :incl 111 ovi e~ urt' \veil t i llcler way and the weather is not prope1· to go out -oJ-doors, ClS man y studen t ~ are spending much of their lunch period enjoying tile fre5h a ir.

The Student Council. A letter was received from the Fairbury student council thanking the L. H . S . student council for the use of the Lincoln high handbook. Also a letter is being written to the Columbus high school regarding the student council. Col umbus is starting one and would like to h ave some ideas.

'Great to Be Here' States Frankie Carle While Visiting Lincoln Frankie· Car le, who played in Lincoln recently, said " It's great to be here," when asked about L incoln. At the age uf live , Frankie s tarted to take lessons on the piano. Although piano is his profe ssion, he h ad other desires i n youth. His m ost predominating ambition was to be a ballplayer and a prize fighter , but giving in to his mother's wishes, he stuck to his piano and has never regretted it yet.

This presents on e of the greatest obstacles to mu t ual understanding a nd friendship . It separates t he peoples of t he world and forms t he largest gap that man has to cross to reach his neighbor.

JUNIOR SOPHOMORE ~ SENIOR

Think About Lincoln High; It's Really Pretty Good · An outsider being conducted through Lincoln high school probably would notice quite a few very good points about the school that the pupils, tired by seeing the same old building every day, would not notice. As example, there is the swimming pool, the cafeteria and the forty-five minute lunch period. A very great number of schools do not have the money or a building of strong enough structure to accommodate a pool. Shocking enough is the fact that some schools do not even have a cefeteria and the pupils are compelled either to brinotheir lunches or eat in nearby restaurant~ (in a much shorter lunch period than Lincoln high has) . ' This school has wonderful spirit, good athletic teams and it's dramatic and musical productions are excellent. The set-up of Lincoln high seems to be pretty good after all.

The Senio1·s Have Worked: Thev - Deserve Support ~

For many years the: ;:,;f:nior class of U Drn:n high school has put on a play. But seldom before has there been such an ardent and apparently sucessful campaign to adv~rtise the production to the students. Everything has been done to make th e senior :play an outstanding production. Costumes have been rented, insured and the property ".Ommittee has worked endlessly gathering the many unusual items needed. The advertising assembly; according to the .students, was extremely humorous. Everyone, director, cast, sponsors, and ' committees, have worked hard. All they need now is a full house both nights.

Teacher Is H u1nan Too; She Also Likes Radio Along with the rapid development of radio the small camera size of radio has come into widespread use. Last week during the world series baseball games, a great number of these small radios were brought to school. This explains all the people going down the halls ears pressed against the small boxes, with wide eyed expressions on their faces. Many complaints were heard that teachers would not let pupils listen to the games during class time. The complaints were entirely unfair. It is not at all improbable that the teacher wanted to listen more than the pupil. Wait until next year. Miracles do happen. It may be a requirement to listen to the world series.

It is often said that life is full of little surprises. This could easily be said of Miss Roberts, in 207. Last week Miss Roberts walked into Mr. Boyles' chemistry class and asked to speak to Mendell Archerd for a moment. Mr. Boyle looked at Miss Roberts and in his masculine voice asked, "Are you his mother?"

This article is said to be the experience of a man who had just insta lled a radio and ~ad. learned all the fine points about elimmatmg cross-current. He tuned in, getting three stations .on the same wave length . One was .a. m1111ster, one was a man telling the cond1t10ns of roads, and the third was a lecture on poultry. Here is what he heard: The Old Testament tells us that baby chicks detour one mile south of Salina and listen to the words of the prophets. We find in Genesis that the roads are muddy just west of the hen house and clean straw is essential if you would save your soul. Keep the feet clean and dry, live a life of righteousness and turn south one mile west 1)f

L e;i:venworth, turn south to ,Jerico. A bond issue is being talked of in the Holy City, as there is a washout on the bridge just south of Paola, and the road to salvation under repair, making it necessary fo:r 70 dearees in the brooder house at all times. After yo.u leave Winfield, unless you do these thmgs, the wrath of the Lord will cause the pin feathers to fall out and detour one mile south. Many are called, ·but few have any luck unless the paved road between Topeka and Lawrence is mixed with the ,feed. Out of 500 eggs, one should get good roads from Coffeyville to Tulsa, and the Lord commanded Noah to build an ark just one mile west of Wichita. It rained forty days and nights and caused an eight mile detour. Just west of the brooder house many tourists from the house of David are trying the Plymouth Rocks mixed with concrete and desire to do right.

Are most people smart'? Well, if they are, and if their IQ is 140 or above, her e's -what usually happens to them. They usually have a better job, more education, more income, better health and a happier marriage than the average person. A psychologist began a study in 1921 about a group of about 1,400 children, ages 3 to 18 years, who were persevering in their daily and school life, with good r!jsults. . The average of this group is now 35 yars, and this is how they stand. 1. They are superior in physique and health and have a lower death rate. 2. They have better jobs. 3. They are more apt to be married and have a better chance for being happy. 4. Nearly 90, percent entered college and 70 percent were graduated. . 5. The average income is not as spectacu~ larly superior as their edge in jobs and education, but is still far above average. These people did not come by this superiority by merely sitting and making goo-goo eyes at the teacher or borrowing Sam or Susie's paper for their own use. · They worked and they worked hard, which most pupils think impossible to even try. People fool and borrow their way through school, and then wonder why they aren't such huge successes as hoped. Judging from this, it wouldn't be a bad plan for the boys and girls, who plan to take the world by storm, to sit up and take notice when the teacher begins tossing the knowledge about. The teacher appreciates you all the more, too.

Ask Her to Dance Boys; She Isn't Going to Bite Dancmg m the gymnasium durmg lunch period was started Monday, October 13 Students had promised that if dancmg was provided for entertamment they would certamly make use of it, but very few of these students were seen dancmg The gymnasmm was used for pupils clownmg around and wall flowers makmg use of the stray benches which were furnished It isn't the tradition of Lmcoln high to have bashful students "The only explanation that can be given," stated H C Mardis, "1s that very few students have the nerve to be the first ones on the dance floor " Many other schools have provided dancmg and made it a success Northeast high school has dancmg m the basement durmg lunch periods and most of the students take part m this entertamment Dancmg will be given a try for a short period and if it shows no better results than it has now, it will be d1scontmued Pupils wantmg to dance should not show bm1d1ty and lack of nerve, but get out on the floor and really dance

The Grade Isn't Everything; The Knowledge Counts Too Already school has been m sess10n for six weeks and it seems impossible that grades are out so soon An unpleasant surprise came to some pupils of Lmcoln high school when they received low marks Reports, out Tuesday, October 21, told the true secret on time wasted m class and the amount of homework not done Certamly some ha"e shpped down these first six weeks and made the excuse that the evenmgs are much too mce to try to settle down and get some education Don't give up m despair, as there are twelve more weeks of this semester to try to make up for lost time It takes plenty of amb1t10n and hard work to catch up, but only semester grades are recorded on each pupil's permanent record which is kept m the office Warnmg slips, which notify the office and home room teacher if pupils are m danger or failmg m any subJeets, have been banded out every Tuesday mornmg to the home room teachers for the past three weeks These teachers then remmd the pupils Some teachers prefer to call the student's parents if his grades are droppmg and he shows no concern or interest m the subJect All of the teachers are only too glad to g1ve ex~1a h(;Jp aiter :sc1: 0 0i, r. ..... t

convement timeg, if a pupil is h;:nmg difficulty with a subject If a i:.tudent shov. s mtercst and the mtegnty to buckle down and try to learn, the teacher is ready to help. Trying to get high marks is the chief purpose of some students who will even cheat m order to receive good grades The student who really does not deserve high marks is hurtmg only himself and it will brmg him no return m the future Perhaps a student believes that if he or she does not understand somethmg and asks for md1v1dual attention, the rest of the students are makmg fun of him for bemg so ignorant This is certamly not true, as the subject which seems very easy for you may be hard for your neighbor and v1ce4versa Teachers are human and they try to give no more homework than is necessary They are usually very considerate and understandmg when special occas10ns come up and it is impossible to get homework fmished At least two hours every evenmg should be put aside for homework It is best to arrange your plans so you have a special time and a convenient place to concentrate and not be mterrupted with family arguments, or get mterested m a rad10 program, forgetting your homework It would be marvelous if a higher percentage of pupils could be mcluded on the honor roll each semester and it would be possible if the student body would only realize how important and necessary education is now and will be m the future

Silence in the Library; Also, Return That Book

/HO St

Pupils commg from var10us classes mto the Lmcoln high library fmd a haven of quiet which they should take care not to disturb It seems that some pupils apparently don't know the meanmg of the word "quiet", or they must thmk that the people, trymg to work are equipped with ear plugs Silence is an essential m a hbrary As a rule, Lmcoln high pupils are quiet m the hbrary, but the two or three noisy offenders can make very much noise Also, many pupils stick books away m a corner and forget about them until they are long overdue The hbrary profits by book fmes, but it is not a desired profit It is very hard on the average pupil's purse, also, to have to dig deep every time he forgets to brmg a book m on time It is also very thoughtless to keep a book out long Overdue books make more work for the hbrarian and hbrary asb1stants, and if a person wants a book that has not been turned m, he is out of luck until it is returned Lmcoln high students are lucky to have a well supphed library , with proper consideration of others 1t can be used with maximum efficiency

L.H.S. Faces Big Test At Stadium Saturday In a few days, Lincoln high is again going to have a game with Grand Island The t est will not only be of the teams, but of the followers. Everyone remembers the unpleasant publicity which this school received because of the fights and the damage done, after the last two games played with that school Because of those unfortunate and unnecessary mc1dcnts, the name of Lincoln high school was blackened So far durmg the year, Lmcoln h1;:{h has mamtained its reputat10n for good sporti:.manship If everythmg goes successfully ab everyone hopes, no longer will a nyone have grounds to criticize Lincoln high school for poor sportsmanship Many will say "Why should Lmcoln high take all the blame ? It wasn't all the fault of this school" Nevertheless, even if it wasn't Lmcoln h1gh's fault, it was entirely Lmcoln high'i:. name that suffered It is the )Ob of this school to pass the crisii:. this commg Sat urday, and show that Lmcoln high has a good team supported by a loyal school We \\-ant our visitors to have a thoroughly good time while they are m Lmcoln

Keen Ti111e Club Dances Up to Behavior of Students

Wasting Valuable Tilne in a Library il'Iight Be Fun, But J:, Not Profitable

Do most pupils enJOY havmg a dance after games 1 Most of them do. but then, as always ,there are a few trouble makers who rum thmgs for everybody Keen Time is held for the purpose of the students bemg able to come and dane,e and have a good time The dance 1s usually free A band i:;, always furmshed and usually a small floor show durmg mterm1ssion is provided The idea is not tor students and friends to go to the dane,e and chase each other around the dance floor or to turn off the lights for their form of amu:;,ement The mam purpose 1s for those to go who want to dance, not "mess around" It's up to the pupils to make 1t favorable for the sponsors to want to give them a place, a band, and a dance floor to use atter the games It is one of the thmgs that some cities can't do Lmcoln can do 1t with everyone's help The dances are something to be proud ot and it's everybody's respons1b1lity to keep it that way If they want these dances to contmue they know how to act, not only for themselves but others too

Tube,-culosis X-Rays A re Being Given Free

Question o J the Week

"What can I do to help wipe out TB?" That is the question bemg asked by millions of Amencans today And it is bemg answered Answered by the thousands of dollars pourmg m for Christmas seals, answered by the x-ray umts which travel through the state g1vmg free x-ray examinations, answered by the American people who refuse to allow anything which can be conquered to conquer them For today TB is bemg conquered m our schools, hospitals and climes It was discovered that among those who were exammed with an x-ray, three out of every hundred persons had signs of the early stages of TB Those three could be cured With the rest, food and care that they needed they would never need to fear this disease which has taken so many hves Unlike their grandfathers who were un .. aware that they had contracted the disease until coughmg, an advance state, started, these three had the advantage of bemg able to stop the disease m the earliest stages The doctors who studied the x-rays sent confidential letters to them warnmg of their condit10n and urgmg that the necessary steps to be cured be taken Then not only was the mfected person saved, but others who perhaps might have caught the disease from him Everyone can take advantage of these free x-rays 1 Everyone can buy Christmas seals 1 Everyone can spread the word 1

Students' Habit of Saving Caf eterw Seats Is Selfish Some students around Lmcoln high have become rather thoughtless as far as other pupils go The students' tables m the cafeteria are not reserved for any one person. All tables are open to anyone The habit that some students have of savmg chairs for their friends lSn't very helpful Of course, people hke to sit by their friends, but when they save a seat for somebody for twenty mmutes, someone else is gomg to be mconvemenced m enJoymg lunch It's really unnecessary to save seats The cafeteria is large Lunch per10ds are long enough now so that if someone doesn't want to take a chance on his friend fmdmg a seat next to him, the two can wait for each other and fmd seats together No one m the cafeteria has privileges over another Everyone is entitled to a seat that belongs there Everybody can help by not sa vmg a seat for anyone It's also a poor idea to put billfolds and combs on the table to save a place while the owner is m the food lme It's unsafe and unsanitary

Driving Cour~e I~ To BP

Offered At Lincoln High A course is to be offered m Lmcoln high concerning the safe dnvmg of a car There are many student s that enter high school and don't know how to drive, but they would bke to and no one at home has the time to teach them It is Lmcoln h1gh's idea to give the pupil the proper instruct10n, if he wants it This course is not offered m all school~ However, some of the la rger schools have had the course offered for some time They have had the dual instrument cars, that is the car with controls on both sides, so as the pupil may follow through the same actions of the instructor Of course, Lmcoln high does not expect to have this kind of car, at least not at first The students will not start dr1vmg at first The course will be mostly learning the facts, hazards and safety caut10ns of operating a motor vehicle The last part of the course will be the actual test of the learning and the effect m which pupils put the facts mto practice This , bemg a new course, will be an ex· p enment Th e students and fam1hes have expressed their desire to have such a course It's up to the students now to make a success of it

Citi;-;enship committee member s elected . Shirley Church as their chairman for the coming semester. Shirley was also an active member in the citizenship committee last year. Under the supervision of Miss Elsie English and Mrs. Ruth Dodge, projects and plans were discussed for next semester. A committee chairman, Marilyn McDonald, was picked to form plans for "Citizenship Week." Also two boys Rex Tousilon and George Hancock were asked to select films on citizenship for noon movies. Reminders of good citizenship flashed on the screen, were thought to be effective for telling pupils how to act, and what not to do. These things will all take effect after Christmas vacation when the plans are organized completely.

Still Tentative But Are • Making Progress Behind the wheel driver training is to be introduced in Lincoln high school's curriculum as soon as the equipment is available, and the financing and insurance taken care of. Plans are tentative, and may be changed even after trial. present, the plans consist of fr 50 to 60 hours of instructio which will include from 30 to 36 hours of classroom work, and 20 to 24 hours in road training. Tlliis · includes not less than 5 hou~ of .. behind-the-wheel instruction · lot each pupil. Whether a regulat class tim& will be provided is spll a question. It has been suggested that the classtime instruction be included . as a unit of st di in one of the regular offeri , such as English, social stu,l'l.ies, science, shop, homemaking, ealth and safety or physical educ tiqn. This should be a unit of st dy of not less than 6 weeks. This would be offered in the last seme ter of the sophomore year, or the. first semester of the junior II, according to +.~ "'"'

The orchestra again was a big hit as they played "Dreams" followed by the boys quartet hinging "Stanley Steamer." The quartet was made up of Duane Ainley, John Hall, Roget Whitmer and Jim Tomasek. Jim Tomasek's imitation of Al Jolson singing "Mammy" with a leap into the orchestra pit really brought down the house. Showing everyone that a girl can play a wonderJ'ul trumpet was Mada Marx, playing "Sleepy Lagoon." ' Presenting one of the colorful acts of the program was Pat Hinds and Fred Mayer singing "Sweethearts." Beverly Hennek, Jane Simpson and Pat McKay showed they still have that wonderful tap dancing ability.

Pupils Hear Annual Choral Speech on U.N.E.S.C.O. Assembly Brings R. G. Gustavson Explains Plan Eleven Lincoln high seniors, Charles Johnson, Arlene Neff, Shirley Taylor, Clark Mueller, .Joan Sailing, Katheryn Schneider, Jim Krantz, Bob Patterson a:Rd Jerry Nelson from the modern problems classes; Rex Andrews from the student council and Roberta Sei:del from the Advocate staff went to the University of Nebraska Wednesday, December 10, to hear Chancellor R. G. Gustavson speak on U .N.E .S.C.O. These students reported the lecture back to their modern problems classes• Dr. Gustavson was one of · the five voting delegates for the United States at the United Nations Educational, Scientific, Cultural Organization at Mexico City. Thirty-seven nations participated :l'n this meeting. U.N.E.s.c.o. Story Told. The birth of th.! idea of U . N. E. . C. 0 . happened about three years a o in London. The first meeting was one year ago in Paris; the second was in Mexico during November and a third mi!eting is planned. At the meeting in Mexi'co City three new countries were up to be voted on for entering U.N.E.S.C.O. These were Austria, Italy and Hungary. The American delegation was told not to vote for Hungary, and Chancellor Gustavson asked why not. The answer was, "Because we did not like the way the election, ' 'rnPd out in Hunga ry 0 Dr. Gustavson repiied, 'I don' t always like the way the elections turn out in the South." The Untied States through not voting for Hungary built up a bad spi'rit at the meeting. Budget Planned. One of the main objects of this U.N.E.S .C.O. meeting was to figure out the budget. They could go as high as $9,000,000 for educating the world. They finally completed and figured out how much it would cost. The proposed plans will cost almost $8,000,000. Of this amount, the United States will pay 40 per cent. Some of the proposed plans are to translate the classics into all languages, to educate over the radio, have scientific expeditions, to interchange students and teachers to different nations, make educational movies and to have traveling units. Chancellor Praises Mexico. Chancellor Gustavson also said that the general belief that Mexico is illiterate i's very untrue now. The people have made one of the most tremendous advances in education. Each person taught by the government to read and write is responsible to teach another person. At election time, they must bring the person they have taught to read and write or be fined ten pesos.

Count the Minutes So You Won't Always Be l'ardy! "I recommend you to take care of the minutes for the hours will take care of themselves." This timely verse by Chesterfield gives a lesson that should be heeded by those who are habitually tardy. Home rooms 220 and 304 again have no tardinesses and are good exa:fuples all home rooms should follow. Having perfect records for the week ending December 11 are rooms 105, 116, 126, 139, 208, 214, 220, 221, 225, 302, 304, 305, 306, 401 and 403. Rooms having only one tardiness are 107 124, 128, 130, 137, 141, 145, 200, 204, 205, 209, 224 and 318. Room 133 ranks lowest on the list with the most tardinesses, 9. Other tardinesses are 100, with 4, 101, 3; 102, 4; 103, 2; 109, 2; 112, 3; 117, 4; 120, 5; 121, 2; 132, 2; 132B, 6; 134, 3; 135, 3; 136, 4; 140, 3; 201, 4; 203, 3; 207, 3; 212, 3; 213, 4; 215, 2; 216, 3; 217, 5; 226, 2; 303, 6; 307, 2; 309, 2; 311, 2; 312, 3; . 313, 5; 314, 4; 315, 2; 316, 2; 320, 3; 321, 2; 325, 3; 326 2; 327, 3; 400, 2, and 402, 4,

Good Wishes

In keeping with tradition, the annual Christmas assem"' blies to be held December 19 and vesper concert December 21 will be presented by the choir, with the girls' and boys' glee clubs, girls' octet and boys' quartet. The decorations are by the student council.

Discussion of Reports Received in Council Box In answer to a letter received in the student council box during the first week of December, the council has issued a statement on semester reports. This is the letter: Student Council: There are many pupils in L . H. S. who resent the report cards now being used. The old cards we had awhile back would be better. We should have the sm.all cards! They asked us whether we wanted to have the ones we have now or keep the old ones. We asked to keep the old ones, and they gave us the new ones. We don't like this! This should have attention. Bring· it up in assembly or something! Reply: This is the work of several years and the result is the big report card. A committee got the idea from pupils, teachers, parents and principals. Not everybody, but many like them. There is no way to get the old ones back because it is a city-·wide rule.

Hill, Fe11ton Speal{ on Disasters Film Shown In Assembly Harold Hill, manager of the Lancaster county Red Cross chapter, and Joe Fenton, head of the county disaster work, spoke at a double assembly Thursday before a film, "Disaster Strikes," was shown. Betty Ann Mahr and Winifred Davi:dson introduced the men. "We here in Lincoln have been very fortunate," said Mr. Hill, "We escaped this year with only a few minor flash floods. But I would like to emphasize the fact that it could happen here!" He recalled the Cambridge flood early this spring, the Texas City disaster and the hurricane along the Florida coast as examples. Schooling Prepares Individuals. "I think we are well prepared to meet emergencies. The training in first aid and home nursing given at Lincoln high school is valuable," ·stated Mr. Hill. Mr. Fenton explained briefly, the various committees that are organiied to aid i'n an emergency, such as tha rescue, medical aid, food, shelter, transportation and communication committees. In case of a disaster, the county Red Cross chapter has the name and phone number of the places where necessary equipment would be instantly available, such as boats, clothing, blankets, cots, and a list of the places that could serve as emergency feeding stations, and shelters, and the people that would be available to help. Helpers Names Listed. They also have a list of nurses and doctors, first aid crews, water rescue and life saving crews, hospitals, communications and transportation facilities such as trucks, airplanes, and ambulances that would be able to answer a call for help at any hour. In a small pamphlet put out by the Red Cross of Lancaster county added information is given on this subject including the general organization of the group. Reli'ef is given to those needy after the disaster strikes in such forms as clothing and food. Many thanks to the Nebraska State Journal from the student body of Lincoln High for running color in this Christmas issue of the Advocate as a Christmas greeting.

2 Boys Win Poster Prizes Bob Griner and Richard Clasen, both students of Lincoln high, tied for first place in the Lancaster County Tuberculosis association poster contest. The posters were judged December 8 by Sid Dewey, Mrs. Jean Garrison and Mrs. Marian Ellis and results announced by .Joe W. Seacrest, seal sale chairman. The pupils had to supply their own poster boards (size 22" by 28") and the poster's had to shovt either two or all three of the fol• lowing: (a) · some reason why one should get a chest :x-ray, (b) call the TB association for a free x-ray, (c) buy Christmas seals. Either the two oxen drawing the loaded sled or a red double barred TB cross was required. The first prize w as $7.50. Bob has made many posters for Lincoln high activities. Among t hem were posters for "Pride and Prejudice," Hallowe'en and "Sky Road." Last semester Richard won $3.00 for the first prize of the American Legion poster contest. His tuberculosis poster was especially praised for his originality in carrying out every rule of the contest. The Tuberculosis association plans to hold a poster contest every year to build up a collection of prize posters which ex• plain the tuberculosis central program. The speci'al project of the Lancaster county is the free chest x-ray clinic, which is supported entirely by Christmas seal funds.

Unsightly Lockers ArP E1nbarrassing to L.H.S. Some students of Lmcoln high don't care about the way their school looks They don't try to help m<>tte1 s out any Just take one look at the lockers Imtials and other thi,1i:;s are scratched all over the outside of them The lockers do not belong to the stuc1ents and they have no right to destroy them or mark uron them Also the appearance of lockers to a visitor is disgraceful The second someone opens a locker, out fall bookf:> pencils, pctpers, coats, purses and yes, even garbage, such as apple cores and old lunch sacks There are hooks ms1de of the lockers which are there for the purposf' of hangmg a coat on, and a shelf for books The bottom part can be used for boots, scarfs, gloves, purses or what not There is no sense m people bemg so untidy If the students had to cacry everythmg m their lockers around to all their classes for a whole semester, they would see how many unnecessary obJects they have Thmgs ltke broken combs, old test papers, chewed-up chewmg gum and wrappers, dned-up sandwiches and ribbons don't need to be kept m lockers Just before Christmas vacat10n and the New Year is a wonderful bme to have a clean-up day for all lockers It wouldn't take much time, so everyone p1tcn m and do his share

It seems that at last Lmcoln high students have grown up They have qmt throwmg snow balls and tnppmg people on icy streets 3ust for the JOY of knowmg that they d1d It Of course this is JUSt speakmg for the maJonty of pupils too But the few that are left can't stand up forever by themselves Students hke that are a disgrace to any school This improvement speaks for itself It's now almost perfectly safe to walk around the school at 3 15 without takmg your hfe m your own hands There is marked improvement over last year when anyone would JUSt as hkely as not be hit m the head with a snow ball that has turned to 1Ce Tlus shows that it is not Impossible for Lmcoln high to have outstandmg citizens If everyone tnes, the school can do it

Lately one hears about pupils quittmg school for numerous reasons The fact IS, employers want educated people to work for them Parents and friends can't impress enough on the stu-~"V't

!::.....,:. . .....,1._,,.._._1E! _,.....,

fied for long These people are gomg to fmd it nearly impossible to fmd good Jobs m the near future without at least a high school educat10n Pupils can't see right now how important their educat10n is Certainly, they want to qmt because somethmg ISn't gomg right for them at present Just because they are failmg m one subJect and low m another 1s the usual reason for qmttmg school If they JUSt stay with their school work a httle longer and thmk of the future, maybe they will see the light One example of how '3ome see the hght is explamed by the fact tnat returnmg veterans are commg back to school If it's necessary for them with their extra trammg, then rt certamly mu::it be necessary for those teen-agers who were not old enough to JO!ll the services or who for some other reason stayed at home Young men and women are turned down time and time agam by employers after they ask the question, "How much schoolmg have you had?" They can't truthfully give the answer that the emploJer ms1sts upon You, the students who a1e thmkmg of qmttmg school, read bet\.,,een the Imes now before 1t is too late

Board Approves Doing Away Wi~h ;weighted Credit All Will Have A More Equal Number of Hours Discussion of the proposed plan, approved today by the board of education, that weighted credit be -done away with, was held m teachers meetmg, Tuesday, January 6 Facultles of the three semor high schools m Lincoln have recommended to the board that this sort of credit be d1scontmued after this year Weighted credit Ui 6 hours :for l's, sih hours for a mark of 2, 5 hours for a 3, and 4, 4 5 hours for a 5, 4 hours for a 6, and no hours for a :failure The op1mon ot the faculty is based on the fact that pupils with high marks have all the neceis1ary mcentives m rece1vmg marks alone, and always have much more that the reqmred number of hours for graduation Pupils of poorer ab1hbes are penalized, however, because a pupll may pass all subJects, but because he receives less than full credit, must go to summer school or take another semester m order to graduate This is particularly true of pupils unfortunate enough to fail one or two subJects "Therefore, it is felt that any benefit that might be derived by a pupil who wished to graduate m 21h years, was more than offset by hardships caused pupils who receive less than tull credit," stated H C Mardis, principal In Lmcoln high school this proposed change ha• been di6cus~Prl 211

Question of the Week

Experience and Practice Make a Skillful Driver If you insist on dnvmg recklessly and at high speeds, it would be less complicated and more thoughtful of you simply to drive your car off some convement ten· 11tory bmldmg Don't bother to read it agam It said just what you thought it said No fool will drive off a ten-story bmldmg, but hittmg somethmg at 60 provides the same generous amount of destruct10n E ven striking an obJect at a lowly 20 gives the same shock as a fall from a smgle story bmldmg As you step behmd the wheel of a car, you have m your control a power that can be tremendously destructive as well as useful Practically every normal person IS able to learn to control a car and secure a dnver's hcense But only with experience and constant practice can a person become a skillful driver Most accidents happen with young dnvers, smce they are less experienced and drive faster Also, they do more mght, weekend, and hohday drivmg at which time accidents occur more frequently A safe driver 1"1 one who, besides bemg cautious and courteous on the road, knows his car and appreciates its power

Handbooks Are Found Vseful by Everyone Much credit should be given to the orientation commitee of the student council, which has completed an outstanding piece of work m revismg and editmg the seventh, 1948, ed1t10n of the Lmcoln high handbook The handbook will serve as a gmde m school affairs and furmsh information about the school to outsiders as well as the students and teachers It also presents to the new pupils the many and varied opportumties of the school Every pupil should have one of these books to carry at all times for a quick source of mformat10n both for himself and others The table of ' contents, with the chapter heads, 1s on page three, and a complete alphabetical mdex, startmg on page 144, provides a convenient method of fmding any subJect without waste of time It is hoped that this pubhcat10n will be given the use it deserves

Combi1wtions A re Secret; Don't Tell Anyone Yours! Locker combinations are used for one reason-safety The combmation of each mdividual locker is supposedly known only by the two locker mates However, recently many pupils have left their coats m others' lockers and then the necessity anses for someone else knowmg the combmat10n The lockers are for the pupil's convenience and should be used onl;, ;:;:; t:1c lJH , ') as:::.igutu lo tnem i.nc old pro, ero that t \'- O r;,. compc1 11 \ t hi•'L' , a crowd, holds true as fa1 as lockers are concerned Someone may overhear the combmat1on and, before long, thmgs may disappear from the locker The only person to blame m that case would be you-yourself ' Never tell your combination and the custodian will be saved the time and labor of replacing it with a new one'

Remember, 'Patience' Has Many Reivards "Patience has its reward," and the reward for "Patience" will go to members of the semor choir who make up the cast for the Gilbert and Sullivan opera Every year one of the stellar performances is enacted by this group under the direct10n of Hugh T Rangeler Students plan costumes, pamt sets and do a dozen other odd Jobs which seem only secondary to spectators, but play a maJor part m the success of a product10n The hours of endless rehearsmg are seldom realized by the audience The curtam goes up, there is applause, and it's all over Now the fmancial adviser, must be sure they have enough funds to cover all expenses Of course, there is ah;, ays the assurance of the allotment from activity tickets which are used, but what of the purchased tickets" Adverbsmg must be enforced to a great extent m order to get full co-operat10n from the public at large Posters, rad10 advert1smg and e¥en conversat10nal advertismg reqmre hours of strenuous work In a sense, the opera belongs to every pupil m Lmcoln high for it is the duty of everyone to advertise and support the activities of his school The opera this year, is somethmg extra-special, so mark m big, red letters on your calendar that "Patience'' is Just around the corner

Reviewed by Doree Canaday, One bright day I found myself in an mqms1bve and explorab ve mood So naturally, I decided to satisfy my curiosity by lookmg carefully and closely mto the rooms of Lmcoln h igh I proceeded to open the first door I came upon Stepp mg ms1de, I found myself surrounded To my left were shelves and shelves of books-to my right, more books' I looked aroundthere v.as no escape that way either A fter carefully thmkmg the matter through, I decided that the most logical and possibly best way of gettmg out was to read m y way out The :firs t book I picked up seemed t o be a b ook on education Oh, what a fate' However, the cover W dS a ttr active In red letter~, outlined m blue and w1th green stars between each letter ( the signature of t he man t he story is about), I read t he title of the book, "The Education of H yman Kaplan," by Leonard Q R oss As I read on, I discovered that t his was a story of a German man of abcut 40, who had come to America dnd enrolled m a mght school for adult~ which prepared people from foreign countries for natural1zatlon and taught t hem the English la nguage The book 1s a senes of humorous events and m istakes which take place m Hyman's compos1hon, speech and recitation class Kaplan, a very affectionate person with a constant smile, gave among other defin1t10ns, that ot vast as, " commk fromm diraction Ve have four diracb ons de naut, de sot, de heast, and de vast,' or 'Ven I'm buyink a smt clothes, I'm gattmk de cawt, de pents, an' de vast'" This book is full of v1v1d characters, among t hem, Mr Parkhill the teacher, who only sighs at mistakes, for the years have taught him patience, Mr Bloom, who when asked to make corrections on another's work replied, "Mistakes 1s terrible' " and bn lliant b ut shy M1ss Mitmck, who seems to have some sort of grudge on Hyman, for whenever his work was under class discussion, she cntieized it ruthlessly As I poured through the pages

of this humorous book, enJoym g each page mor e, I was suddenly m terrupted by an unmistakable voice Someone h ad come to my rescue-but r escue didn 't seem so important now, not with a book hke this

But-there's the shy one who has never attained enough courage to use any oi the above meth• ods For his benefit, here 1s a brief sketch to enlighten this unfortunate one The absolute essentials of a n y femme's billfold a r e a comb a n d mirror What appears to be a m1mature family album (her pictures) can be identified as the big attract10n These mclude almost every boy m the school to her pet dog (the closest she gets to the farruly) Next the exammer fmds a collect10n of papers and cards t hat would undoubtedly pay a pretty per..=iy to a paper collector Air-!lng them is a calendar, locker receipt, social security card, newspaper clippings (usually "How To Be Beautiful m Ten Easy Lessons"), grocery list, ticket stub, gum wrap p er, idenhf1cation car d, stamp, libr ary slip :tor overdue books, activity card, and least (of it, that is) but not last (m i m p o r t a n c e) is the piece of paper the billfold was mvented for, the dollar bill This same piece of paper is rarely found m any billfold Then t here are a few things the high school girl feels is necessary to make her billfold and its contents complete A :few of the "few thmgs" are keys, safety pms, hair pms, and a small collection of loose change-mostly penmes

Scarce Books.

able and the same is true of fnst editions Whether the author became qmte important 1s the best test to apply The condition of the book must also be cons1deied With a little study, this hobby can be self supporting, smce the collector can sell to other collectors the books of which he has duphcates In 1946 a pe1fect cop} of \.V1lham Shakespeare's "Comedies," 111 the first foho ed1t10n, sold for $50,000 A first edition of "Allee s Adventures m Wonderland," 1865, would brmg enough money to buy a station wagon and a counhy estate to go with it You may have to be content to fmd a signed first edition of "A Lost Lady" by Willa Cather worth about $10, or Sir Arthur Conon Doyle's "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' first ed1t10n worth $15 If you go m for first editions your best mformat10n can be secured from "American First Editions," J:>y Merle Johnson "Ameucan Book Prices Cu11ent," puhhshed each year, is the autction price of books sellmg for more than three dollars This can lJe found at the city llbrary

Some Embarrassing Moments Can Be Told Most of us know, only too well, that hot, flustered and completely lost sensation called embarrassment Persons are usually too embarrassed to tell about it, or too often when an md1v1dual will tell 1t 1s not for pubhcat10n However, one boy, after bemg promised his name would not be divulged, frnally gave the answer to "What was your most embarrassing moment?" "It all started at a formal dance As it happened, my sister was going also, and this being her first formal party, she took great pnde m her beautiful dress, which I w11J admit was pretty m its unusual design and colormg Smee I was her older btother, I telt rather fatherly toward her that rnght, and p1om1sed I'd look atter her and see that she had a good time "Well, my date happened to be one of the most popular girls at the dance So when I finally took

a breather and let the other fellas have a chance, I realized that the evemng was half over and I hadn't even seen my ~nster "Catchmg a glimpse of her dress, I went over, determmed fo make a big show and make all the boys thmk she was as wondertul as I thou'ght she was I came up behmd her and gave he1 a big brotherly hug and kiss "Imagme my shocked horror and the color of my face, when l discovered that the gul m my arms was not my sister, and, to top everythmg, I didn't even know her• With embarrassed apologies and a quick tug at my collar, I backed away leavmg a iummg and embarrassed girl with an extremely red face, that almost matched mme "Later, when I told my sister of my m1sadventu1e, mstead of bemg sympathetic about my em-

Brotherhood Should Begin in the Home

Anothe1· Fad Enters Into the 'New Look' Race

"Brotherhood-Pattern for Peace"' Do you know what this means" Brotherhood Week, with President Truman acceptmg the honorary chairmanship and the Honorable Robert P Patterson, former under-secretary of war, as general chiurman, is being observed from February 22-29. Designed for observance by all orgamzabons, brotherhood should begm at home As the preamble to UNESCO states, war begins in the mmds of men If this is so, why not have peace begin there too" Is it so hard to be friendly with someone you don't consider on your social scale" Aren't they human, born with the same "nghts" you were" You weren't born with any preJud1ces, you acquired them From whom did you get them" From all those thoughtless persons who always seem to fmd fault with those who rank above and below them Is this any reason why you should keep these preJudices" Can't you see beyond the four walls which surround you" Does it make any difference m human relations if you are Protestant, Cathohc or Jewish" If you're a Negro, White or Chmese" Of course not' To run the world, brotherhood and umty must be present We must know the facts, estabhsh the prmc1ples and develop the skill to apply them Brotherhood is a study It must be learned together We can follow the pattern set up by UNESCO in learning

Life without its fads would indeed be a cold cup of tea, for 1t takes these h t Ue 1d1osyncras1es to bieak t he monotony of plam every day hvmg The current fad has succeeded m creating some rather embarrassing sit uations to say the least Pe1haps you, too, are one of the many persons who has been confronted of late by w hat appeared to be a total stianger, but mstead turned out to be a good friend , t he result bemg that you were accused of snobbishness It really wasn't your fault, though It could have happened to anyone who found himself starmg mto the face of someone who slightly i esembled a newly shea1ed sheep In case you're still m the dark, this descupt10n is an addition to the " new look" w hich 1s the "haircut " The "hd1rcut" is the latest rage m ladies' (') hair style Boys may have their fuzz cuts, but a1rls have their haircut

Word-a-Day Plan Best For Improving Vocabulary Are you shunned by your fnends of late" Do people turn the other way when you open your mouth to speak" No, the solution 1s not a different kmd of toothpaste, but you might try usmg a dictionary. Remember you're high school students now and it's JUSt a tnfle hard to get by on a grade achool vocabulary Does your vocabulary match your age" In other words do you have the vocabulary of an average high school student" You should know the answer to that, and 1f you don't, cerj:.amly your fnends do. Having a very hm1ted vocabulary 1s apt to be embarrassing even to those who don't seem to care what other people thmk of them. One very simple way to augment one 's -vocabulary 1s the "word-a-day" solution. Choose one word each day that you will be sure to use in the future and learn 1t It won't be long before you will be proud to open your mouth m a crowd RPmemher tt's:: inc;t n.s ea.sv to 1ncre.ase your vocaou.1a1y as it is to ke!l!- }IP. on the latest "Jive" talk ·

Driver Training Makes You a Careful Driver The dnvers course, which is offered m many high schools throughout the nation including Lmcoln high, is not only to teach the students JUSt how to dnve, but also to make more careful dnvers out of them Since a student may not quit school until he 11 sixteen years old, and also, smce sixteen is the age when a person may obtam a dnver's hcense, the logical place for a dnver's course is m the high schools There are many more accidents among dnvers of a younger age than among older dl'lvers because of improper attitude toward• their driving In the state of Delaware, 800 students who had taken the dnvers course were compared with 800 other student dnvers that had not taken the course In a year's time, out of the 800 who had taken the course, only 14 percent were involved in accidents or received fmes From the 800 who had not taken part m the dnver's course, 90 per cent were involved m accidents or received fmes Also, this course will help young drivers to be better 3udges m buymg automobtleE and teach them more about automobile maurauce
