Each day he shps a httle more until he is forced to take a second rate pos1t10n If you are mclmed to fritter your time away, remember what Shakespeare said, "There 1s a tide m the affairs of man "Which taken at the flood leads on to fortune, "Omitted all the voyage of their hfe "ls bound m shallows and m miseries " Remember the safest course is to form the habit of excellence before a downhill step is taken

True Democracy Not Being V sed in South The so-called glorwrq An'r"·tcan heritagr

has many a not so glorious blot on it-the conquest of the Indians and the Mexican :War, to name two One of the most recent is the way Henry Wallace is bemg treated on his southern tour. This affair comes at a very bad time We're supposed to be trymg to impress the rest of the world with our true form of democracy Freedom of speech 1s one of our prime laws, and with out it no true democracy can exist The bad thmg about this s1tuat10n is that it is apparently JUSt what Wallace wants He knew before he started the south would receive him with open hostillty Some feel that the purpose of the trip was not to gam southern votes, but to gam northern sympathy for himself, because of the way he had been treated by the big bad south No matter what his motives were, we are defeatmg our own purpose by refusmg to let him speak This mcident 1s also damagmg north and south relat10ns The northern peopl~ already have ideas about the KKK and treatment of the negroes 1n the south Henry Wallace may stand for everythmg we don't want but, he should have the right to speak A better way for the southern people to show their d1s1Ike would be not to show up at all This egg and tomato throwing is perfect from the Russian standpomt This is the sort of thmg the Russian papers love to prmt, and, for once, they will be tellmg the truth

The New sophomores are busy fmdmg rooms and meetm' lots a new guys and gals, the JUmors are renewmg old acquaintances and the "BIG" seniors are- 1 First, let me tell you what happened to Barb Bell th1b bummer. Her car stalled a t the corner and the traffic light changed red, yellow and green A polite policeman stepped up to the car and asked, "What's the matter,, am't we got any colors ya hke ?" Next on the program is a contribut10n by Gmme Noble T'was the first day of school and all through the halls, All the new httle sophomores were g1vmg their calls All through the day you could hear them say14Can you tell me the way?" And there were the JUmors who knew how thmgs were done They were at school for a full day of fun The runmng to classes and the scamper of feet, To see all the old friends and to save them a seat Not to slight the semors who have been here two years, They are well acquainted and have lost all their fears So whether a sophomore, 1umor, or semor, Let's make a "Big Go" of this commg year Now you lucky people fol a Joke (Joke???) To some of you people this will be hke a muddy wmdsh1eld on a foggy mght, but a few of our brighter readers will get it (I hope) Jeanne Vierk "Is this your package, Jo? The name is obliterated " Jo, "No , 1t couldn't be mme then, 'cause my name is O'Brien " Then there was the moron that slept m the chandeleir because he was a light sleeper, and his brother who believed the only way to grow hair was to read hair ra1smg novels Ahem' Scoutmg the halls we fmd some cute sophmores hke Nancy Chamberlam, Judy Fl:rnsburg B rnlgct \V~n;;n~ Watson, Jo:yce Fmney, Lynn Holland and Barbie Turner These are only samples of what you'll fmd m the vast resources of the class of '51 One of the "Big Deals" of the weekend was Mary Hancock's party Saturday mght Attending we found Mary with Dick Maxfield, Margie Lu Hedrick and Bob Burns (UN ) , Pat Doyle and 'Bud Ellers, and Nancy Remmgton-Chuck Rohan (UN ) , Phyllis Loudon, dated Charlie Johnson (Harvard) Saturday also Jo Dosek started her 1umor year 'out right by steppmg out with U N man Rog Rumon Friday mght Also datm' that mght were Jo Fmney 'n' Bob Seacrest (UN) ), Jo Groh-Ray Gartner, Bev Beal with George Ghody, and cute hl' Judy Weibe appeared with Jimmy Munger (Shattuck) Saturday mght dates mcluded Jo O'Brien and Ed Perry doublm' Nancy Hubbell and Jack Fogerty Also Doree Canaday was seen with her man, Dick Wadlow Then there was the time Harriet Wenke asked Marilyn "Pete" Pedersen, "Can you loan me $100 ?" Marilyn Pederson "l don't llke to 'cause lendmg money tends to break up friendships" Harriet "Well-we haven't been such close friends " When Carole Church asks a question it's always good 1 Carole Church-"Do men hke talkative women or the other kmd best?"

THE ADVOCATE

Common Faults May Hinder Your Future Durmg the last war and for a short bme afterwards, Jobs weren't hard to find for anyone who was mterested in havmg one, and usually weren't too hard to keep As long as you had a general knowledge of the subJect you were deahng with, you were likely to be hired Lately it has come to the point where you not only have to be quahf1ed m your position, but also to have the personality and poise to go along with it Such habits as gigglmg, whmmg, ear pullmg, hair Jerkmg, face scratching, natl chewing, smffmg and twitching, are apt to keep you from gettmg your desired Job today The presence of these defects may be a physical af· fhcbon, but usually they are merely habits A common expression about such a character is "They drive me crazy " But what about you? Maybe you are guilty of doing some small tlung that irritates other people to the point of d1sllke Other "pet peeves" that may make a bad impression are squeaky v01ces or babyish overtones Then there are the people who never look you m the eye when you are address· ing them, but let their gaze wander from place to place People who apologize for everything they have said, thmkmg it has hurt the other person, and trymg to make amends by saying ten or more times how sorry they are, are likely to make a bad first impression. If you've wondered why it's always the next person who gets ahead, you may fmd it due to your personal habits If your faults are called to your attention by a close friend, don't react by findmg fault with your critic Examme your faults and try to overcome them if 1t isn't a special problem. In domg so, you develop new poise, self-confidence and a new opportu· nity to get the most out of social and business hfe.

Pupils Must Have Passes In Closed Corridors "Have you a pass?" This 1s a question that can be heard regularly m the halls of LHS. This question 1s usually asked by a hall gua-d whose duty it is to keep the halls closed to anyone not holding a pass Due to the fact that the various rooms have different lunch periods, it is necessary to keep the corridors m which classes are in 'session, closed If you are new to L H S , and do not as yet know what corndors are closed during your lunch period, your third period t eacher will gladly tell you what stairways you can use m order to reach the first floor After you have learned the correct sta1n¥ay, use it every day It will not only be of help tl'l the hall guard, but will also saw• vou time

Leave a Good Opinion With Supply Teachers How cooperative are you" Are you the "angel" of your history class when the t eacher is there and then the "imp" if a supply teacher appears? Try puttmg yourself m a subsbtute's shoes and see what you would do It would be d1ff1cult enough t o carry on a class d1scuss10n with an entirely new class 1f every one were attentive Then if some "Joker" has to be a "smart alee", it disrupts the whole class Consideration of supply teachers who are there t o help out a regular teacher 1s a measure of the quality of the pupils and the school Give them a chance and also a good oplillon of Lmcoln high school pupils

Fire Drill Rules Easy to Follow

I am one of the most looked at fixtures m a classroom and for this reason I get to know qmte a few personahbes First, I know that when the boy m the second seat, the first row, third period, slumps down m his chair and goes through the same movements as the boy m front of him, this is sure evidence that he did not study his lesson for the day • Then there's, let's see, I thmk Mary 1s her name, who always fixes her face or files her nails when a difficult quest10n which she 1s unable to answer, is asked I often wondered why everyone rushed for a seat by the wmdow at the begmnmg of the semester, but now I fmally have discovered that 1t comes m mighty handy when you don't know the square of the hypotenuse or who was vice-president under Vhlson I honestly don't know if they ever fmd the solution that way or not, but they do it everytime Last, but not least, is the pupil who never falls to do everythmg but recite the Gettysburg address when called upon to answer a simple quest10n Maybe you're wondermg who I could be to acqmre all this mformat10n I have a very pale face with tmy black eyes and droopy hands I am no other than the classroom clock So remember next time you have your eye on me that I alwa;ys have my e~ on you because that 1s my duty, but yours is to study 11 1

Journalism Learned Three Ways Readmg about JOUrnaltsm, seemg movies about Journalism, and actually watchmg a newspaper bemg made are the three ways rn which the Enghsh 8 Journalism pupils, unde1 the direction of Ha11y Stroh, have advanced their knowledge on this subiect The fnst step, readmg about Journalism, was accompllshed by readmg " Jomnallsm and the School Paper" which is the class text From their book the pupus got an ove1 -all picture of the processes rnvohed from the hme a news sto1y 15 coveied by the rep01 ter until it 1s read by the subi:.criber Next the class saw movies about JOUrnabsm These mo\-1es ga"e a complete coverage of a large newspaper m action from the time the timber is cut for paper until the newsboy shouts "extra ' on the streets The last step was a visit to the Lmcoln Star The class arrived by special bus and were met at the door by Ernest Johnson who conducted the tour through the bu1ldmg The tour began with a look a t o u n d the "morgue" T h e "morgue" contams pictures from the paper back to the time of Teddy Roosevelt From here the group prog1 essed t h1 ough the spo1 t and society iooms on to the city ioom In this room were the city editor, the reporters wnhng their stones and the copyreaders Next m the composmg room, "George", as he was called by h1l. compamons, showed how a lmotype worked and how a "chase" and a mat are made He also explamed that a big syndicate sent out the comic m a mat form and the Lmcoln papers do the actual prmtmg themselves The class then saw the stereotyping 1com and a cast bemg made To fmi~h the tom, the pupils went to the p1 mtmg 1oom where the presses were located The ope1ation of the big presses was explamed m detail

The first game of the World's Series proved to be very rnterestmg to Harry Stroh's English 8 class, due to a thorough "bnefmg" before the games began The class studied the history of the series, the pre-game playoff, and learned the players and their positions In this way they could understand \\<hat was gomg on when the game started A diagram was put on the board of the f ield, lnd1catmg each player's position On the second game of' the series, score was kept on the board Did you smell somethmg burnmg last week durmg fifth penod? Well, 1f you did, it was Mrs Katherine Benson's home economics class prepa1 mg their breakfast They had cocoa, cmnamon toast and manges Fo1 the second bieakfast they se1 ved F1ench toast and apple sauce They have already canned plums, pears and peaches Each two girl~ canned one can of e ach / " Isn't this e-...c1tmg?" " Look at lhat'" 'Now, do'1't touch'" were Just a few of the many remarks heaid last Thursday when M iss B elle Farman took her English 8 class through the Lmcoln Star "Why, they were Just hke the people of today," was the surpn~ed and fam1har cry of Miss Irene Martm's English 5 classes when her students finished readmg " The Prologue" to "The Canterbury Tales" written by Geoffrey Chaucer m the thirteenth century It came very much as a surprise to learn that the people then tried to act as 1f they had more money than their friend or that they were busier than they really were, and even that the boys tried to make their hair curl and worried for fear their girl friends hadn't heard of their 'bravery m the face of danger The class had a good time cornpanng characters m the stones with people they knew Posture is bemg stressed b:1Mrs Frances Rem to all of her typmg classes as a v ery 1mpoi tant factor m learnmg to type well

Mr. Wells Speaks to Assembly Well Known as World Traveler

•

Charles A Wells, cartoomst, journalist, and world traveler, gave an illustrated talk for a double assembly, Tuesday, October 12 The topic of Mr Wells' talk was two great movements caused by two great well-known personalities As Mr Wells talked he drew Hitler, Goering, gemus of German of armed forces, and Goebbels, head of news, press and education m Germany during the war These three figures represented racial hatred, brute force, and suppression of truth For six years Germany was a powerful nation, not only receiving finances and cooperation from her cwn people, but from md1v1duals in France, England, and the Umted States Therefore, "Hitler did not deceive only the people m Germany but the people m these countries also," a sort of 1p1ritual blmdness Mr Wells went on to say that while Hitler was gammg power by brute force, another man, a 1mall man, was gammg power by gentleness This man was Mahatma Gandhi m India Gandhi was wmmng the confidence of his people and the fear cf foreigners by truth, gentleness, and sense of brotherhood and power of ideas Ghand1 wanted to destroy the European empire by non-co-operation not force, by just not helpmg When Mr Wells asked concerning hLS plan, Ghand1's answer, translated rnto English was, "It is the 1rres1stable power of the mmd and the soul of man poured cut with truth and earnestness" In conclusion, Mr Wells stated that this was an area of exploration, an area of truth and that we ahould look into and study the period from Christ's time to our present day. Mr '\\.ell• "c1 ~ mlro<.iuced Dy Reverend L C Bryant, pastor of First Christian church, one of the churches which was sponsoring the illustrated talks of Mr Wells

Juvenile Delinquency; A National Problem

CAND'(

"Juvenile dehnquency" These two words are probably discussed more m classrooms, newspapers, and even on the streets, than any other two words Yet how many of us know their meanmgs? Dehnquency, accordmg to Webster, is the failure to do what one ought to do-a v10la· bon of duty You may say that this does not apply to you, but nevertheless, most of the delmquents are of high school ageyour age You should have a desire to know what your country is domg to prevent it In view of the fact that "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,'' the National Congress of Parents and Teachers has outlmed a program of JUvemle protect10n This program is set up on both a na· bonal and state level and mcludes, among other thmgs, cooperat10n with pubhshers and producers m an effort to improve the quahty of comics, movies, and radio programs It also calls for commumty action to improve and enforce existmg laws regardmg the sale of obJectionable literature Another plan is to encourage the study and eval\iation of radio programs and mo· bon pictures by students m school Juvemle dehnquency is a nat10nal problem which the American people must learn to understand and combat together

A Peaceful Halloween ls More Profitable October 31 is the mght for black cats, witches, ghosts and gobhns to come out from their hidmg places for their annual mght of fun and frolic Smee 1t falls on a Sunday this year, the total population of Ghostville held a ma~ election and voted to celebrate it Saturday mght, with a few still msistmg on Fnday mght Their plans are all arranged, but what is the L H S student gomg to be domg to celebrate 7 Soapmg wmdows, tearmg down fences, splashmg cans of pamt? This is defmitely considered out-of-date now days Dances such as the Keen-Time Halloween dance, pnvate parties or JUst attending a spook1e movie and gomg to Pat's to listen to some new records have taken their places Every year the Student Council of Lmcoln high, along with other schools over the state, make up a pledge for the student body, not to destroy or damage property This year we have agam made our pledge.

Excessive Speed Is Cause Of Many Auto Accidents Crash 1 A httle way down the street a ''hot-rod" has JUst hit the car ahead of it "I JUSt couldn't stop m time," says the boy who was drivmg the "hot-rod " How fast can you stop 7 It takes a car gomg 20 miles per hour 38 feet to stop A car gomg 40 miles per hour takes 126 feet to stop A car travlmg down the street at 60 miles per hour takes 263 feet to stop Causes of accidents mvolvmg cars driven by high school pupils are usually dnvmg too fast, clownmg at the wheel, bemg careless, d1sregardmg signs and failure to signal In Nebraska the greatest causes of accidents are speedmg and fallure to observe signs Speeding can make a car as destructive as a bomb Remember-you had to go out of your way to hit it It didn't meet you half way.

Work in Classes Not Done For Benefit of Teachers Many pupils are confused on the question ''Whom 1s the work m the classes done for 7 " Some believe that it is done for the benefit of the teachers and m order to earn a grade They feel that thPy are puttmg somethmg over on the teachE>rs if they can get by without domg the assigned lessons If they would stop to thmk about it though, they would realize that this is the wrong idea The mstructors are not bemg hurt when a pupil does not learn his lesson It is the pupil himself who will be hurt m the end The mstructors already know what is m fo~ lesson and are here .w1 the purpose of passmg on their knowle<lge The pupil \\ho does not study may "get by ' and pas& the course which he is t akmg, but what will he do when he is out of school and needs the information which he failed to learn when he had the opportumty At the present time many of the reqmred courses and some of the others may seem to be of httle value No one, however, can t ell whether he will need the~e thmgs m his future occupation or not Possibly not all will be used directly, but many mdirect thmgs help pave the road to success Remember, you are only harmmg yourself if you don't make the most of your education. ,....,le mstructor already has his'

Invite Your J>arents To Visit Ope~ri House In view of the fact that November 7-13 is American Education week, Lmcoln high will agam swmg open its doors this evenmg to parents, students and friends To make this year's open house a huge success, everyone is urged to brmg his parents to school and mtroduce them to his teachers Maybe you are one of those pupils who hesitate to brmg your parents to school and say that all they need to see is your report card But have you ever given this a serious thought" If your mother and father knew how hard chemistry, mathemabcs, or English is for you, there wouldn't be all that misunderstanding that accompames the receivmg of your report cards An mtroduction to your teachers and subJects may give your parents a broader understandmg of y0ur school hfe If you are tied down with homework tomght and can't accompany your parents, give them your program card or a hst of your classes and send them to school They will receive a very hearty welcome

Many Lockers Suffer Case of Indigestion Have you ever had md1gest10n ? If you have, then you know how it

feels to have pams The pam feels as though everythmg ms1de your body has suddenly developed sharp corners and all the corn~s are proJectmg mto your skm Indigestion IS usually caused by eatmg too much and eatmg too many different thmgs all mixed up Now, smce some of you have had mdigestion, you wouldn't want to make some mnocc-<- bystander have it, would you? But, that's exactly what you're domg' Do you know who your victim is? It 1s none other than your locker 1 When you rush to school m the morning, leisurely stroll around school until the 8 35 bell, and then hurriedly run to your locker to get the books you need, you are givmg your locker mdigestlon How is this possible ? Your poor locker, whom we shall call Willy, 1s waitmg for you You arrive, scramble all your books into one big mess so that the corners are stickmg mto Willy's stomach, and then hurriedly leave, with poor Willy resigned to his fate for dnother period He hd<; all the symptoms of indigestion, hurried eatmg (books), eatmg too many different thmgs all mixed up (books, protractors, pencils, pens, compasses), and havmg sharp pams m his stomach Don't fool yourself, Willy has a stomach too, although from the looks of thmgs (and the feel) he won't have a very good one much longer Can't something be done to save poor Willy" There's one poss1b1hty, that bemg to keep your locker orderly with all books neatly piled This not only saves Willy's stomach but also saves you a lot of book fmes which result from disorderly treatment

'Honesty ls Best Policy' Most Important Proverb Remember all the old proverbs you learned m grade school? Probably one of the most important of them was "Honesty is the best pohcy" Your teacher told you to remember it above all, but how many of us have? You might say that you've never willfully taken anythmg that didn't belong to you, and therefore you're honest You could be gmlty of constantly bothering a classmate while he is studying and this would be stealmg his time When someone does an honest deed, we very seldom give them credit for it Lucky you, the girl who found your billfold turned It m It would have been Just as easy for her to ke~p it If we all give credit where it is due, there might be less dishonesty m Lmcoln high, and more people would be mclmed to be honest A simple "thank you" means a lot.

Playing Tag or 'Ditch' May Cost a Limb or Life A s1ren sounds, and ai:, you reluctantly pull over, a pohce car drives up "V10latmg stop sign, speedmg, and reckless drivmg," booms the deep, masculine v01ce of the officer You grm to yourself and the others m the car A ticket 1s made out, and once more you start out Oh, well, what's a ticket? You'll take the alternative and wnte an essay. But what if your recklessness had proved more ser10us? You'd been playmg ditch with another car-load of kids It all started after you'd stopped for food and were drivmg down forty-eighth street about 23 miles an hour The other car pulled up on the outer lane The kids were laughmg and yellmg then they speeded by "Hey," a voice m the back seat of your car yelled, "what do they thmk they're domg? Let's go' " You're off Around the wmdmg streets you go The speedometer chmbs- 50, 60, 75, 82, 85-over a hill and a1ound a bend you go, and then swish You've passed them up, soon losmg them, and another game is brought to a n end But, let's start over to 5ee what could have happened The ditch game is well under way, and as you're about to pass the olhe1 s up, lw o bught tledtl-ug hlb luom 111Lo view arourd a corner Th en 'c " ~u ::echm ~ of b1akPR, a r1a::.h, a &udden JOit, and t hen darkness before all m your car pile out to see the result Your car has three blowouts, a broken headlight, and as far as you can tell, you've skidded about 40 feet Then your attent10n is drawn to the other car, qmte a way behmd you. wher e there is a little commot10n As you approach you fmd a man from the third car "Call an ambulance,' he directs. amid low mumbles, and you soon discover the driver has a spramed back, and h1s face is badly cut When the pohce arrive, questions are fired at you and the others Then the ambulance leaves You begm to wonder, was it worth this? We all know it's fun to dnve fast and try to out-speed another car, but next time you're about to try this game, stop and thmk how it could end up Perhaps you'll save another'5 hfe and live longer

Don't Hesitate in Your Choosing of a Vocation In JUmor high, many students took voca· bonal tests as a help and gmdance m choosing their vocation In many cases 1t did help a great deal, yet there are still students who do not know what they are workmg toward and seem to be gropmg around m the dark How can anyone take the right subJects to prepare himself for his hfe's work if he doesn't know the goal he 1s attempting to reach" In most schools and universities counselors are provided to help students It is their mam concern that every student get on the right track It usually takes much time and effort, but most dec1s10ns of importance do The maJority of persons agree that security 1s one of the greatest necessities of life, and it is also known that there is a certam feelmg of security m knowmg you have an education, such that you may demand hvable wages. Not everyone has to have a. degree or "sheep-skm" to have a place m the profes111onal world, but one should know what to maJor m and also choose several mmor lmes "He who hesitates 1s lost," is a famous saymg, but maybe apphed to many students )Vho have not yet chosen what vocation will be best and the most satisfactory

Do Something Worthwhile; Join a School Conimittee Do you ever sit wistfully by and wonder why some people seem to have all the fun? Why JUSt certain pupils are voted to hold the important offices at school? Or why other:::, are always asked to do special Jobs around school? The answer JS simple' Just open your eyes and look around Have you noticed that these p11pils are always dependable and capable of domg their Jobs well? They are the ones who volunteer their services freely for comnuttees around school They are the ones who do not expect gl'eat amounts of pubhcity for everythmg they do, but who do gam merit and satisfact10n But wait' Don't run right out and volunteer for six or seven Jobs right away You :may be a bit rusty about helpmg on com· m1ttees, and if that is the case, you will probably fall on all six or seven Choose t • th- o.Uu -..)l.J.vA \.\- .1. ........

"Why isn't somethmg done about it?" Th1s quest10n has been asked over and ' over agam m the halls and classrooms of L H S by students who either don't understand why something is bemg done or who would hke to advocate a new idea Whichever side you may be, or may have been on, nave you ever stopped to reahze the value of such columns as "Open Forum" and "Editorials" m such a s1tuat10n? These columns appear every week for the express purpose of explammg rules and regulat10ns, and advancmg new ideas Some students have the idea t hat only journahsm students may write these columns, but this is not true Any pupil m this high school may take part m writmg these columns Be sure, though, t hat your article pertams to the student body as a whole, not to only a few persons The next time you wish to express your feehng on a certam sub3ect why not write to the Adv1cate mstead of Just complammg to school chmns?

Classes Can Be Fun If We All Cooperate "Why can't classes be fun? " That is a quest10n which most every one wonders about, and yet no one can ever give a good answer. For a pupil to enJOY a class, he must have cooperation from the teacher as well as the rest of the class In some classes, all there is to the sub3ect is the same d ally routme of rec1tat10n and homework It is true that these are all essential to an education, but a student will learn more if he is able to trunk of the teacher as a fnend, mstead of Just "another teacher." The larger the school, the more difficult this is Class d!scuss10ns are a good way to get each person m the class friendly with the rest of the class, and at ease with the teacher Each person takmg part m the d1scuss10n does so on his free will A person doesn't like to be nagged to do somethmg, and the more he is nagged, the less he wants to do it If a class rs more of a team with the teacher as a coach, the class 1s more hkely to be fun'

Hazy Way of Registration May Result in Trouble Agam you fmd yourself struggling over regrstrat10n for next semester If you do it the semester to semester way, without thmkmg about your reqmrements, you probably will fmd yourself m a fme fix at the end of three year s An extra semester m L H S or a course in summer school may result from this hazy method of registration Sophomores, lf you fmd that you aren't as satisfied with your curriculum as you want to be, change it now You may run mto d1ff1culty if you wait too long to make a change Vanous subJects are offered m L H S that are not reqmred many spec1f1c curriculum but would be up or correspond very nicely with yours If you are still m the dark about certam phases of your registration or your reqmrements, your home room teacher or counselors are always more than willmg to help you

Studying ls Sure Way Of Improving Grades What's that? You say you got a 7? Oh' The teacher doesn't like you' Well that 's different of course 1 But still, it doesn't seem right that she'd give you a 7 Just because you don't get along Whv doesn't qhp hke vou ? You .:;hoot paper wads and throv. eraser s' MJ.s be that explams it a httle Maybe }OU don't get your asSignmentb m on time, if at all' Well, perhaps ? Come on now, 'f ess up Du you really thmk you should have a 1 ? Well, maybe not? If you're one of the students bemoanmg a 7 or a low mark, have you thought over the many reasons for said grade ? Students are not expected to be apple pohshers, but a httle common courtesy goes a long way ' Eraser throwmg is frowned upon, so why not let off a httle steam m other channels, such as studymg? This may seem a httle silly to you at present, but give it a thought Teachers are human too, no matter what you thmk, and they don't hke to bully you mto studymg anymore than you hke to study Why not surprise them some day with prepared lessons?

"Merry Christmas" is agam a famihar chant Last-mmute shoppers are runnmg to and fro and carols are bemg played and sung Yes' The long awaited Christmas season is fmally here The customs of celebratmg Christmas have changed quite a bit through the years In years gone by the spreading of good will was done by groups carolmg and 1f presents were exchanged, they were made by the party givmg them Even Christmas trees were uncommon In most foreign countries today, houses are not adorned with Christmas trees or decorations, but with figures representing the Nativity The United States still celeorates Christmas with the tradit10nal Santa Claus, decorated trees and our rehgrnus services Even though the customs of Christmas might change, the real spmt will always remam m the hearts of the people

Looking for Good in Others Will Be .of Help to You Do you want to be hked by almost everyone and have people say, "She surely has a nice personality"? Well, one of the first things to do is start lookmg for the good m other people There are many ways m which this helps Looking for the good m other people makes you mterested m them and helps you to get your mmd off yourself 1f you have an inferiority complex Interest m people makes you mterested m the thmgs they do If you're shy there's nothmg better than to be mterested m somethmg and fmd out all about it Sometimes teachers pile a few more studies on you and you leave her class saying, "Isn't she terrible? She always takes up our whole per10d talkmg, then she. gives us all these studies " If you looked for the good m that teacher you very hkely could have found more good thmgs to say about her than bad thmgs Self-confidence is another characteristic gam m fmdmg good m people People hke you for not talkmg behmd their backs Thus, m gammg friendship, you have gamed self-confidence Try this plan for a week and you'll fmd that it works

Home·i vork ls a Problem That Can Be Solved Easily All of you have no doubt suffered the mdescnbable agomes of a day at school many times, so there is no need to reiterate them for you How can we get out of domg homework every night? Many students thmk that the homeroom per10ds should be cut shorter, study per10ds made longer The amount of time wasted by unnecessary d1scuss10n on a sub3ect havmg nothmg to do with the course, unneeded recitat10n and lack of concentrat10n on the part of the student, all eat mto the study period We are here to learn, and 1t seems apparent to us that a seven or eight hour day 1s perfectly adequate for all the learnmg we have to do, without draggmg the process out of the school to that totally foreign and unagreeable environment for study, the home Maybe we can all get together on this idea and do somethmg about it It would also help to cooperate with the teachers

Open Forum To the Editor Why aren't the apprentice chee1leaders given more recognition? It seems they aren't even allowed to wea1 their uniforms on reserve game days, as they are too much hke those of the Peppeis' However, if they wore their beanies, that would distinguish them f1om the Peppers The apprentice cheerleaders are moie significant at reserve games than the Peppers, as they a1e leadmg the yells which the Peppers are g1vmg Because they are not allowed to wear their uniforms, few persons actually know who they a1e, as it is hard to recognize them at the games Most pupils watch to see who are wearing umforms of any kind and theretore associate them with their position, whether it be that of Pepper, cheer leader, or apprentice cheer leader After all, our apprentice cheer leaders may be our future regular cheer leaders' A Student To the Editor Smee good assembly <.onduct is bemg stressed, I would like to mention the bell that nngs durmg "B" assembly It is an mterruption m every assembly When we have had speakers almost every one has faltered a little or stopped completely for it Isn't this as bad as an interruptlon from someone m the audience? When Rubinof1 and his v10lm were here, the bell rang afte1 he had begun playmg I think 1t is an imposition for entertainers 01 speakers to have to ignore thi::. bell or stop for it After 12 weeks of school, everyone should know that five minutes is the time allotted for getting to and from assembhes as well as classes Can't there be a rule established whereby everyone would know that five mmutes after "A" assembly is dismissed, he should be in his home room, and thus ehmmate this disturbance We have managed m the past two years, why can't we now?

Citizenship Counts Just Exams Start As Much as Grades On Wednesday Wh1stlmg happily, Johnny Brown strode bnskly down the hall "Who wouldn't be happy'" he thought to himself "Nobody else m school is happier than I am about my report card 1" Of course it made him a little uneasy when he thought about all those times he had cheated m tests and someone else had done all of his algebra homework And then, too, there was the time m English when he promised faithfully to get a book on Roman c1vtl1zabon and he hadn't thought of it until a week late "Oh well," he decided "My grades were good, even if they weren't all honest'" Johnny got qmte a shock the next day when he was mformed that he was mehgible to try out for student councll Muttermg somethmg about his grndes, he stormed up to the office to fmd out why he was bemg withheld He promptly was mformed that Ins citizenship record was not good "But my grades'" Johnny sputtered "Grades aren't all that count'" was the qmck reply Johnny decided to fmd out right then and there what a c1t1zensh1p record is It seems that every student m Lmcoln high school has a citizenship record It is d1v1ded mto five parts honesty, dependab1hty, mit1ative, courtesy and leadership At the end of every semester, the staff members of L H S send m a report of each pupil under their gmdance The staff mcludes coaches and club sponsors, as well as regular teachers The pupil is graded supenor, satisfactory or mfer10r m each trait No shp from the teacher md1cates that the student is sah~tactory

These c1hzensh1p ratmgs were arrived at, after a careful study of ratmgs from colleges, employers, government agencies, and other sources concerned m this type of ratmg The student body discussed these five divis10ns and decided upon the followmg defm1t10ns for each Honesty-Upnghtness m all dealings, with regard for the rights and property of others, under all circumstances Dependability- The trait of domg any assigned task promptly and without superv1s10n Imhahve-Independence m fmdmg, attacking and carrymg out desirable problems and activities Courtesy-Behav10r mspired by respect for the rights and feelmgs of others and by a desire to be kmd and tactful Leadership-The influence exerted upon · ' <hrectlv affectmg the conduct and attitude •" 11L.rers .:'hese r a t m 1;'-' a 1 e ;i p::> 1 t of d <studen t 's permanent re(ord and a.rt' kept l:ote\er rn thP office files Every year, hundrPd~ of employers and colleges all over the country mqmre about students who have graduated from Lmcoln high Each pupil's r ecord is available only to himself, the staff and responsible people who are seekmg informab.on about an L H S graduate The citizenship ratmgs, along with E C A pomts and ser vice records, make up a deciding factor m choosmg the honor society It IS estimated that about one-third of the ratings given are superior, one-fourth are mfer10r and over-half are satisfactory J ohnny's experience makes it plam to all of us that grades aren't evetythmg While you are m high school, it is a good plan to prepare yourself for the future by bemg a good citizen, as well as trymg for high scholastic standards

Every L.H.S. Student Can Find Club for lnte,.est With the openmg of a new semester, each pupil m L H S should be able to fmd a club or activity for his or her spec1f1c talent L H S has clubs and activ1ties to benefit almost every mterest imagmable If there is no club for your hobby or mterest, with a sponsor a nd enough other pupils mterested, one could be orgamzed Among the newly orgamzed clubs are the rad10 and rifle clubs To further your mterests there are the special product10ns, such as opera J oy Night, and Mummer;,, play, which r eqmre work m several fields to be a success So don't say t here's no place m L H S for your mterests, because there is

Skipping School Never Accomplishes Much It's lunch penod This school day has certamly been a dull one,-and besides, you don't at all feel hke studymg, (or is it a test for which you haven't studied?) What's that? A chum v01ces the same opm10n? Before you know how it really started, you and five other friends are babbling away the plans of skippmg school A Movie? Oh-that'd do-but maybe someone's house-you know They could sit around, hsten to records, and take part in the other things you and your gang of friends indulge m How can we do it? Where'll we meet? Oh-the nurse? She'll let you out if you say you don't feel well Of course, some decide they don't care about an excuse, so they 3ust leave But you prefer an excuse Others get by with it-why not you? Surely, it'll work. Yes, 1t does work Great fun, too Makes you feel hke you've accomplished something few others can, doesn't it? If you get caught, maybe you Just don't care If not, maybe you'll try 1t agam' But don't fool yourself, kids They know what goes on Maybe not all the time, but the teachers "wise-up" sooner or later If they don't do or say anythmg, they've got their opm10ns, and later, when somethmg of importance comes up,-hke Peppers, or class officers, they'll remember you'

Service Ratings Needed; Get Yours Immediately Do you km>w what service ratmgs are, and how they are obtained? Service ratmgs are important to all of us and we should be aware of their value Not only would they aid a person to get on national honor society, when he is a senior, but they also are recorded on permanent records in the office which may be used by future employers. After participating in some school service, the teacher m charge reports it to the office and it is then recorded by an office aecretary on the pupils permanent record One service ratmg for each service is recorded, for hours over the mm1mum, regardless of the number. These ratmgs may have a definite bearing on a future office or Job, here at <:chool. or even more important, ten years from now in your life's work Find out how many service ratmgs you have, and if they aren't sufficient, "get on the ball" and get some more You won't ev• have a. surplus.

Alertness Counts N O'W '.As in Paul Revere's Day Listen my children and you shall hear Of the midmght ride of Shmoe Revere He clowned at the wheel and went very

fast

Bu.t aoon had a wreck, his luck couldn't la.at. Just twenty by law, but "sixty" said he And that's why he's m the mfirmary Schmoe didn't care what Joe Public said, Now Shmoe's had his fun but Joe Public's dead. This may seem like a silly httle poem at first glance, but there really is a lot of logia to it. Considering the many accidents lately, !hmoe isn't the only negligent driver Icy streets, often covered with snow, may be the reason for the recent rncrease in auto smash-ups, but the alertness of youth can prevent many Maybe, you say, this doesn't apply to you or your fnends, but please remember although you may obey all the rules for careful dr1vmg, if you do not see the driver commg towards you who isn't obeymg the rules, you, too, may share the fate of Joe Public.

Sw1mmmg is a very ancient sport Near the begmnmg of history the Egyptians were very fond of it and also used it as a subJect for decorations The ancient Greeks considered the mab1hty to swm1 on the same plane as the mabihty to read and wnte It was somethmg that couldn't be forgiven m a cultured person Among the Greek and Roman stones are many about their heroes' skill and endurance m sw1mmmg Such a great impression was made on Lord By1on by one of these stones, that he imitated the hero m it and swam the Hellespont, which is three miles wide This was one of the first long-distance swims of modern times to attract popular attention In both Greece and Rome, artificial bathmg and sw1mmmg p ools were common from an early date The pnce of admission was often less than a penny a person With the advent of the Teutonic nations, sw1mmmg, with other popular sports, was set aside, but not forgotten It's mterestmg to note that, as large cities grew up and people became more mdustrial, the percentage of c1v1llzed persons who knew how to swim seems to have greatly declmed In 1726, when BenJamm Franklm was m London, it was espeClally hot Many persons went to the Thames to cool and there was almost an ep1dem1c of drowmng In 1878, America tned to standardize sw1mmmg when water sports were given g1eat attentwn by the athletic amateur umon, and the whole world showed mterest when sw1mmmg events were scheduled at the revival of the Olympic games m 1896 In 1926, Gertrude Ederle swam the Engl!sh channel, which 1s 20 miles wide, m 14 homs and 31 mmutes

Pardon Me, But Your Sportsmanship Is Shoiving Is it good or bad? Either answer will mean you have school spmt but 1s 1t the right kmd? Most students are so set on wmnmg the game that the losses come hard, especially m a school accustomed to havmg many outstandmg teams m a ll types of sports. Qmte a bit of cr1tic1sm agamst Lmcoln high has been raised for thmgs done by only a few This 1s usually the case Games with two of our biggest nvals, Grand Island and Northeast, are usually the most excitmg-, but also the ones at which a display of bad sportsmanship will be remembered for a long time Results of a few of these games m past years have not been good An all-out campaign for good sportsmanship will erase all past black marks agamst Lmcoln high and give it a reputation for good sportsmanship as well as a good team Can you thmk of a better combmation?

Don't Overtax Yourself; Smile To Be Happy It 1s a proven fact that it reqmres more muscles to frown than to smile Qmte a few people overtax their energy constantly by lookmg unhappy or angry A smile can make a lot of difference m almost anythmg we do Even a bnef "'hello" seems fnendher when it 1s spoken with a smile Sometimes angry words, which we really don't mean, are easily offset by a qmck grin A person that is always smilmg gives the unpress10n of bemg happy and full of fun It even makes others feel better 1 There are times when everyone fee ls down m the dumps or angry over somethmg It is surpnsmg to notice how different you may look m various phases of temperament When angry. your face 1s distorted and dull lookmg A smile can change that appearance to a look full oi happmess and fnendlmess When you're out of sorts sometime, try a smile a nd see how much better you'll feel, as well as look

Unheeding Persons Present Hall Guards With Problems Have you ever thought about why v.. e have such thmgs as hall guards? Well, if you haven't, now is the time to start t hmkmg Let us take an example of one little hall guard m the addit10n durmg third penod She is qmetly readmg when someone starts to walk mto the closed corridor The familiar words, "Tlus is a dosed corridor," m;,ually are obeyed But what about the carelebs person who hears these fam1har words, but does not heed them? He goes right on down the hall "Oh, well'', you say, "Whom is Just one person gomg to bother? But stop to t hmk what would happen if no one heeded h er words The closed wrndors would be very noisy and no one m the class rooms would be able to concentrcJ.te (Of course you know that classes are bemg conducted m the r ooms along the halls The little h all g uard would fantically be trymg to ded.t t he hall m accordance with h er Job and as a whole, everyone would be upset So the next trme you com e to a closed corridor hsten to t he hall gu cJ.rd Why not b e considerat e of others dunng your lunch period?

Washington, Lincoln Give Much to American Life Maybe jOU don't feel hke flag-wavmg or smgmg the Star Spangled Banner durmg this month honormg the birthdays of two great presidents r Maybe you thmk W ashmgton was silly to throw a silver dollar across the Potomac river and to admit chopping down the cherry tree, his father would have fmgerprmted the axe anyway' Suppose you do thmk Lmcoln should have known when he was well-off without school, mstead of g1vmg himself an educat10n, and even if you don't hke his beard, you've got to admit it looks good on the penny and even better on the five-dollar bill r Even the lowest of us mortals must ad:nut they were great men, that their hves contributed greatly to our American way of hfe, and that American history would be pretty dull without them

Collector Writes to Frank Buck, Trapper Mr Frank Buck Dear Frank, I am now the director of the Meadowlark Zoo m Chicago and am on the prowl for new specimens Remember our conversation of 1938 m Smgapore We had JUSt returned from the mter10r of the Malay Penmsula after a fruitless ~earch for the fabled missmg lmk or Incons1derapod We agreed that day that there was no such creature and that his legend was merely ignorant superstition But even though we had combed 1ungles from Burma to Brazil, trekked vast deserts, and had ventured an exped1t10n mto the foot hills of the Himalayas I was still not satisfied My persistence paid off' Hold on to your hat, Frank' Do you still want an Incons1derapod? You do? I knew you would 1 I have your ammal How can I be sure? There can be no mistake We had m1smterpeted the Malayan tale There is no rmssmg lmk 1 When the error m translat10n was clarified we fmd we are after a "Messmg" Lynx mstead of a M1ssmg Lmk While we were searchmg the farthest corners of the globe the Incons1derapod, or "Messmg" Lynx was peacefully hvmg m an mstitut10n where only Lynx of var10us species are allowed This mstitut10n is a high school m the middle west Frank, these "Messmg" Lynx are JUSt what you nef'fl for vour next show They fit the description cxa.,tl.J They often hdve long greasy hair They frequent halls, class rooms, lockers and cafeteries The Incons1derapod goes out of his way to mooch pencils, borrow paper, bump rnto people without apologrzmg, shout m halls, scatter Russian seeds (perhaps they hope to harvest some httle Commumsts), ascend stairs where signs read "down", etc There is no doubt m my mmd I have located the ''Messmg"Lynx or Incons1derapod 1 Meet me m New York on the 21st with your number one crew We will orgamze there and begm the exped1t10n on the 24th Have the nets and cages prepared' Good Huntmg' Hiram Acollector Director of the Meadowbrook Zoological Gardens m Chicago, Illmo1s

Class Officers Election Causes Much Discussion There has been much d1scuss1on about the election of class officers and of council Now the class officers can serve four out of the possible six semesters as they can only hold the same office once and there are Just four offices Here are some pomts which should be decided· whether or not there should be a hmit on the number of times you can be a class officer and the idea of havmg the home rooms nommate only people m their home rooms This would provide a greater variety of nommees and would give more people the chance to run for these offices Now concernmg council and class officers, smce both develop leadership qualities, should there be a rule that a person cannot serve on both at once so that more people can have the benefit of this trammg?

Noise in Halls Causes Much Speculation Why do the students of our high school make so much noise m the halls? This has long been a matter of speculat10n Perhaps, the students feel a desire to ''spout off" once they have been released from repressive classrooms This can hardly be the answer because they continue their vocal activities both m and out of class The only common exception to this is when they are called upon by the instructor Then their v01ces are scarcely audible We nught say they are putting forth their best effort to have everyone overhear their conversation This theory must be disregarded smce the two speakers are rarely over 75 to 100 yards apart With these two possibilities negated, the following paragraphs are offered as a probable solution to our quest10n Ennco Caruso, the great opera smger used to shatter drmkmg goblets with his voice as a parlor trick He would hit the glass gently to fmd its pitch Then he would smg that pitch and soon the glass would shatter An undisputed fact is that everythmg, glass, wood, or stone, has its own md1v1dual pitch however slight Certam sounds or vibrations, Jf directed to that pitch, will cause v10lent molecular frict10n, and if held long enough, will cause t he obJect to shatter If a v1ohmst knew the "pitch" of a certain bridge and played that pitch long enough under the bridge, it would crumble fantastic, yet undisputed Hence come experiments with "sound-guns" m warfare So, we see that for years Lmcoln high school students have been vamly searchmg for the "pitch" of the building materials m Lmcoln high It is their d10bohcal scheme to destroy the bmldmg and there by rescue themselves from algebra assignments, Spanish irregular verbs, and political reforms m England durmg the reign of George IV They lack the foresight to r ealize t hat they will be m the bu!ldmg when it does crumble But, great is the unflmchmg de"' .)l.s.vJ

Pupils Follou Exrunples Set by Ways of Others Without reahzmg it, boys and girls follow the examples set by their elders (even a Junior or semor), and yet they, too, are setting an example for those who succeed them Why 1s this true? Call it human nature We don't know anythmg different than to do and act hke other people If we don't, we're a social outcast Try once to do somethmg far different than anyone else would do it and see what happens People may stare at you, talk about you, or even harm you Still, we should never say to ourselves, or anyone else, "don't do as I do, do what I say" That would be simple enough, but not the proper thmg Sophomores are always watched by the m coming students, JUlllors by the sophomores, semors by the JUmors and so it goes, how they act, what they say, and how they say it Then "naturally," they follow m the1r footsteps Lmcoln high I S unusually fortunate m always havmg, on t he whole, a graduatmg class that betters itself every year If there were a great deal of delinquency among the upperclassmen, it wouldn't be a very healthful example to follow The great number of activities offered 1s another hfe-saver m having (smce many, many yea rs before) one of the fmest possible examples set for us What will the future brmg for t hose boys and girls not yet m high school, or rather what type of example will be set for them by us

Superstition Often Causes Passing of Opportunities Our forefathers for centuries believed m many superstit10ns They thought that a disease was caused by a spmt w1thm the body, and only by a weird ceremony performed by a priest, would the sp1nt leave Sneezmg was also believed to have been an omen, sometimes of supernatural ongm The Italians used to believe that a spirit was leavmg the body at this time, and would say "fehcita'' m order to turn it mto a good omen, thus w1shmg it health and happmess The Germans likewise would say "gesundheit". Even today the superstit10us idea that if a black cat crosses your path, misfortune will come to you, has caused many victims to either stop, go around, or go back In the .same way people react to opportumtles which cross our paths constantly They either stop, go around, or go back An experiment once proved that if an obJect was laid m the path of a human bemg and he crossed over the obJect many thousands of times, he would eventually fall upon 1t If this holds true with opportumties, by the time they have so frequently been crossed, they'll no longer exist

Ah, Yes, Gossip! But WaitThey Might Talk About You Gossip' It's the roam topic of conversation at every sliimber ' party, every bridge club, m fact, I thmk, every time a group of women get together no matter what age, and men too, the stream of conversation is "Did you know?", or "Have you heard?" and "Isn't it awful?" Now you have to admit you've all done it once m a while, and it is fun, but frequently the gossip is based on fiction and not fact Many times an mnocent person is hurt because of gossip on the rampage It's human nature to pass on a story to the others m an effort to command attent10n Each time it's passed on 1t seems to grow Perhaps your purpose is not mahc10us, but it achieves the same results as though it had been purposely mtended to m3ure When you hear that next Jmcy bit, and can hardly wait to pass it on, it is well to remember that you might be the next topic of discuss10n.

Club Negligence Does Not Make Interesting Meeting There's a club meetmg tomght Mary has to go up town, Jane 3ust doesn't want to go, Bill has an appomtment with the dentist, and on and on Endless excuses if someone doesn't want to go to their club meetmg Unfortunately, the Sltuat10n is becommg serious Club attendance is fallmg off, and the sponsors feel it's the duty of the members to come without bemg constantly urged You iom a club because you're mterested in it, and once you JOm, an actnt ib~..... c;.,L should be taken Friends should be urged to go mstead of discouraged You alone <,an improve faults you fmd withm your club as you may be the only one who sees them So 1f you're a "club neghgent", get on the ball Let's get behmd QUr clubs and attend their meetmgs, get acquamted, and promote them' Let's make 1t an effort to attend all the meetmgs, present our ideas and bmld up our clubs m the eyes of our friends and the school.

Do Shouting Fans Show Good Sportsmanship? One mmute left to go and the game 1s tied 1 Shoutmg fans are on their feet and the moment is tense In the last 30 seconds the be changes, and now everyone breathes a sigh of rehef because we've won Sports make good sports The quickest way to fmd a person's faults 1s to see how he or she holds up under the stram of a game When people are at parties, they usualy make it a pomt to have on their best manners But durmg a good stiff ball game, you're busy keepmg your eyes on the ball, and if you don't have a sense of good sportsmanship, it really shows then Everyone gets a good razzmg once m a whtle, but if you have played on a team you will know what it's all about and you will know how to take it It is probably a good thmg this "razzmg" happens to you once m a while, because then when later m life you have a Job and your boss "bawls you out" for makmg a mistake, mstead of argumg or havrng your feelmgs hurt, you can calmly go about trymg to correct the mistake Our team is domg so much for us to keep our school tops, but are we domg our best"

Sammy Sleeper walked slowly up the street toward the new ~chool he was attendmg for the first time He saw all the other students h u r l y 1 n g so they wouldn't be late, and he wondered what was the matter v. ith them As he entered the big spacious hall, he received the shock ot his life' Along all the corridors stretched thick rugs In the hall m front of tre office v.as a "hot dog stand," (we mterrupt this story to ~tate that the view:, 01· policies mentmned here ar e not necessarily those of the L H S faculty r) and root beer and hot chocolate ran from all the fountain~

Open Forum To the Editor Why is 1t that Lmr;oln high never sponsors school d~nce~? This year plans were underway for a ;un10r-semor prom, but 1t did not go through because the teachers would not sponsor 1t In prev10us years there has not been one because of a lack of enthusiasm This year when there is enthusiasm tor it and the pupils are backmg 1t there is not gomg to be one All over the Umted States high schools sponsor all sorts oJ school activities Not only dances after games or those such as Hi Spot, but football and ba<,k etball banquets, class dances, and JUn10r-semor proms The pupils of Lmcoln high are not so different irom other teenagers These actrvities are held and backed by the student body and ve1y seldom are they a failure <ausmg the sponsors to go m debt The pupils of Lmcoln high miss lot of the fun and excitement by not bemg able to have these thmgs High school days are marked by these traditional events Is it exactly fair that Lmcoln high pupils should be deprived o! these pleasures" A Junior Ed Note Please refer lo the article regardmg the prom on page one Dear Editor How many times have I heard about someone's Jacket or coat bemg stolen? Can't something be done about this? Several weeks ago at the Wreck two expensive 1ackets were stolen, and last week a billfold was stolen It seems that the studenti. who C'omplam about the so-called "bad name" that Lmcoln high has are usually t'i.e ones who cause the trouble? Should students that conduct themselves poorly be admitted to such places of entert~mment as Hi-Spot, Keenhme or the Wreck After a second offense, couldn't the pupil be banned from these places of entertamment?

that soon there will be one less pencil moocher m circulation I am pullmg out of the game The md1gmty and shame of this treasured art has overwhelmed me Thmk not too harshly of us pencil moochers, paper borrowers, eraser grabbers etc , for we, as a group, can trace our hideous family tree and blame our failures on mheritance In my case, for example, my grandfather, m his time. was a highly successful quill-moocher. The one bright spot m my d1sheartenmg lme is his great grandfather's grandfather who was Sir Pencilo de Moochero. Without Penc1lo's help "Don Quixote" the Spamsh literary masterpiece, could not have been written Yes, 1t was my ancestor who mooched the writmg materials for Cervantes back m the 17th century We can trace back with accuracy t o the Roman Repubhca and fmd Pencdmus Mooch1mus who was a stylus-moocher I believe the founder of my lme was Penc1hte the Moochach who was an Assyrian scribe in the palace of Kmg Hammurabi In 2100 B C. he was hanged for smtchmg clay tablets The records from here back are obliterated I have no idea what my remotest ancestors mooched before the advent of writing materials, perhaps, stone axes or bear meat. But now, m 1949, wit h nearly four m1llemums of moochmg beh1d me, I resolve to qmt' All the disgrace and repulsion of nearly 4,000 years of the hateful art have welled upon me' . I hereby tender my resignat10n to the P M A (Pencil Moochers of Amenca)."

reason why we have not been able to have a Junior and scn101 banquet or· JHtim before !'because the classes lack umted enthusiasm It is up to us now to show that umted enthusiasm so the senior classes next year and the followmg years may have more school programs Everyone may cooperate m the affair although he may not be an upperclassman as they need talent for the floor show The more talent and cooperation m the planmng will better msure its success The banquet will be held at one of the most smtable places m Lmcoln This event needs the umted cooperation and enthusiasm of the whole school

Will School Sponsor Week-end Dances? The state basketball tom nament ended the basketball season of 1949 After the basketball season is over there are no sports events that mark the school actrv1tles calendar durmg the week-end This raises the quest10n, "What to do?" Eventually your date grows tired of iust gomg to a movie every Friday or Saturday mght, but what else is there ? A dance similar to those sponsored by the city recreation department durmg the summer would be an ideal solut10n "That's a good suggest10n, ' you say to yourself, yet what good doe:;, it do, there rnn't such a dance bemg sponsored Yes there are the Hi-Spot and the Hub Club at the different high schools, but an arrangement for somethmg on that order with all of the high schools combmed would be much better It would give eevryone a chance to see more of the pupils from other high schools and promote a better feelmg as \>veil as prov1dmg week-end recreat1011 Why does this have to be 1ust an idea or a passmg thought? Until school 1s out and the Keen-Time dances start, this place where all high school boys and girls could meet for an evenmg of dancmg, would answer the quest10n of what to do There is evidence that a plan such as this would meet with success by the fact that other dances such as the Tn-H1-Hops held each sprmg have always attractE'd a large cr owd The schools would really be sponsormg somethmg new and would be helpmg to do away with the mtense f eelmg of rivalry with each school alternating the posit10n of actmg host

Do You Read The Advocate For Neu~ or Gossip? When you pick up a newspaper. whether it be the Advocate or a daily paper, what do you read first ? Do you t urn to t he gossip column or the funmes? Perhaps you do, even though that wasn't the purpose m prmtmg the paper Newspapers are usually prmted t o give mformation about world n ews as well as loca l, or m the case of the school newspaper, news about the school and the students News is obtamed by means of reporters, t elephones, telegraph wires and many press assoc1at10ns Some people have never attempted readm g news port10ns of the paper and therefore do n ot realize how mterestmg and worthwhile many articles may be One of the best ways to read a newspaper ls to start on t he first page lfor that b where the more important articles appear) and scan through several, then on to thf' second, etc In this way an entirely different attitude toward a paper is often obtamed

THE ADVOCATE

New Change Made In Economic Trend

Open Forum To the Editor

By now even the most reluctant observer must admit that there 1s a very defm1te change m the economic trend The buyers' market lS here All around us we see the evidence Used car lots are full of cars that Just sit At the auct10ns, the farm machmery is bid m by the owners Coupons and free goods are bemg offered with every day food items, and the helpwanted columns m the paper have shrunk to a fracbon of their former size Most of the adds are for people with spec1ahzed training. Th111 traimng also appbes to eff1c1ency, ab1hty, willmgness to work, cooperativeness, and nght attitude toward their JOb Remember there's plenty of room at the top; it's only the bottom that's crowded Those not interested m seekmg employment would do well to mventory their qualmcations on the prmmple of social acceptance. Are you a broad-minded good listener, loyal, cooperative and dependable A sense of humor when the situat10n concerns oneself is an asset m any society The old saymg, "It is as important to keep your fnendsh1p in good repair, as to keep a roof over your head," sttll holds true

Congratulations L.H.S. On Fine Sportsmanship The basketball season is over and Lmcoln high can put down a plus for sportsmanship. With the exception of the incident at Beatnce, the sportsmanship has been on the up-grade all season reachmg its peak dunng the state tournament To people all over the state, It was proved that we are good losers as well as wmners Many who had previously thought Lincoln high a poor sport and a bitter nval of Northeast were greatly surpnsed to see the pep section, bands, and student sections of the two 11chools sitting together It was something different, indeed, to see the two sections supportmg each other m their respective games According to one radio announcer broadcasting the Lmcoln-Hastmgs game, the best thmg he had seen at the tournament was these two pep sections sitting next to each other with the cheerleaders of both school1 leadmg yells together !D the t:JJ.~L r.·-... ..., "l- '"'"-- - - -1 - ''-~ ~" out the state that Lincoln high had low sportsmanship, and the affair at Beatrice came to prove it In the future the goal should be to uphold the high praise received from the &ta.te tournament and fmish eramng thole black marks which are beginning to d11e.ppear

Spring Brings Thoughts Of IJaseball, Track, Tennis In the spnng a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of . baseball, track golf and tenms, or at least it appears that way at Lincoln high school With basketball and swrmmmg season barely over, many ambitious young athletes transfer then- time and talents to these other sports Even though some of these teams are relabvely smaller than a football squad, much hard work after school is spent runnmg around the oval, pracbcmg p1tchmg or puttmg and bangmg tenms balls Are you a loyal supporter of Lmcoln high? Of course you are' So be sure and make it a pomt to take an interest m these sports activities, too, by showmg up at those track meets and baseball games tlus sprmg

THE ADVOCATE

In past years Lincoln high has always had a game room which was open at noon Smee many pupils' attention has been diverted to the noon movie;, we no longer ha\e one I thmk that we definitely need a 1oom w he1e we can play cards or other games and also a place to study Many girls h ave tued to ~tudv m the girls' gym at noon, but the

gym teache1s don't !J.ke this, many students remam m the cafeteria a long time m order to study but this deprives pupil~ who want to eat ot a place to s1 t l t wouldn't need to be a "ery large room because w1tb the movies, I don't thmk there would be many students ~ho wished to play games or study, but I am sure it would be very much appreciated by those who used it A Jumor To the Editor Each year <;e\ eral days a iter Joy Night ticket s go on ::.ale, most of the tickets for the good seats arc sold Many ::,tudents who do not buy their tickets withm two OL three days after they go on sale are unable to secure tickets for the night they wish to go Al5o many adults do not attend Joy Night because they are unable to secure tickets for good seat<; This year Omaha Central high 1s havmg a student rna tmer for their Road Show (which 1s hke our Joy Night) It seems to me that It would be a good idea ii Lmcoln high would do this also This would enable m ore students, parents and other persons to attend Joy Night As Joy Night 1s en1oyed by nearly everyone, I thmk sornethmg should be done so that more people can 5ee 1t A Student

Do You Appreciate the Facilities Available to You? Do you realize Just what kmd of a turmotl many of you would encounter if the buses that are waitmg for you aft~r school would suddenly stop commg? None of us stop to reahze 3ust how lucky we are to have such wonderful fac1l1ties available to us, yet the buses barely receive any cooperat10n or considerat10n from the students After an afternoon of "haulmg" the students both the bus and its dnver are ready for repairs The destructive feats on the buses mclude breaking buzzers, smashmg wmdows, scratchmg initials on the walls or pullmg down signs These are merely acts of ignorance on the part of some simple frustrated persons who feel that by domg all these thmgs they are considered heroes or heromes for the day. Our parents and their parents would consider themselves qwte lucky if they could have had the advantages that we are offered today, so let's make the most of them and show the proper attitude and respect

Easter Customs Show Some Interesting Beginnings Easter, the bme of hhes and egg h unts, has a very mterestmg begmmng Smee the earliest time, the Easter season has been a time of beautiful flowers, the most popular of which 1s the hly, a symbol of punty and holiness The custom of donning new <'Iothes was both pagan and Christian m ongin It was believed that people should wear new, fresh clothes because the Easter season seemed so fresh and attractive after the cold months of wmter It was considered a forerunner of bad luck if a person didn't wear new clothes The egg is regarded as an emblem of hfe Some early rehg10us groups believed the secret of life to be withm the egg and regarded it as a symbol of creation The custom of colonng eggs is an an c1ent custom The colormg of the eggs was tirst started by the Chnsban church, the eggs were decorated m red to denote the blood of Christ Eggs origmally were associated with E aster because they could not be eaten durmg the Lenten season, and on Easter Sunday they were served at meals ·r1d '"!ntr> could bP the '---'uL 1:11..ht:me .1.or pc1.r t1e1:1 dun11g Easter ~ ~ason and for t able decorations on E aster day. The first Sunday followmg the paschal full moon following the spnng equinox is declared Easter.

Mortimer Messy Complains A.bout Untidy, Messy Halls "Doesn't anyone ever sweep the halls of L HS ?" cnes Mortimer Messy, as he throws his candy bar wrappers on the floor. "They're always httered with papers'" Now Mortimer believes m neatness for everyone else, but neatness is Just not a trait of his. He thmks nothmg whatsoever of throwing his used paper m his desk drawers or strewing them all over the halls, but if one of his possess10ns gets wnnkled or mussed he hits the ce1lmg. Another one of Mortimer's pet habits is to mark every book he can lay his hands on. Whether the book Is checked out to him for a semester at school or for a week at the library, it always comes back the same way, pages torn, pencil and pen marks all over it Sometimes as a special treat, he loses the book or misplaces 1t and forgets about it altogether- that 1s, until he has bee·n remmded of it several times Yet, Mortimer still believes m neatness and simply deplores seemg a messy room Even now, as we leave Mortimer, we can s till hear him rantmg and raving about the "deplorable conditions" with which he has to contend He n ever bothers to consider that he ls Just another person who makes conditions worse by his messmess and complammg Then we remember that the broken wheel always makes the loudest noise.

:Traffic Rules Apply to June Bierbower, Journal Reporter, Urges Girls to Become Reporters Bicycle Riders Too Encouragmg girls to become a CaltfornM umversity student Have you seen Wdhe the Weaver?

reporters, Miss June Bierbower,

He may be only a 10 year old boy. but he's a pubhc menace JUSt the same, according to the Nebraska Safety Council He's th kid who threads his bicycle through the traffic on the streets as if he were darmng a sock-risking his llfe and hmbs and those of every motorist who has to Jam on his brakes to keep from grmdmg bike and boy to a powder "Most youngsters know how to nde their bicycles," said Horace Crosby, President of the Council "And most of them nde well But a few smarties will always try to show off And when a kid gets hurt or killed riding his bike m traffic, sometimes it is the motorist's fault-but sometimes it's because the bicycle rider was stuntmg, hitching a nde on another vehicle, or weavmg m and out of traffic " Dunng 1948 there w~re 163 accidents m Nebraska mvolvmg a bicycle and a motor vehicle m which three youngsters were killed and 122 mJured, the safety official reported Traffic rules, signs and signals, and courtesy rules are for bicycle riders, too, Mr Crosby said Here are seven safe cyclmg tips hsted by the Nebraska Safety Council 1 If you ride your bike m the street, keep well to the right side and nde m the same direction as the automobiles 2 Ride in a straight lme-don't weave or stunt 3. Ride bikes m smgle file 4. Ride alone-never try to carry a passenger. 5. Stop for red hghts and stop signs, and obey all other traffic laws when riding your bicycle 6. Never try to hitch a ride on a motor vehicle or street car 1 Avoid rldmg after dark if possible Have a good bght and reflector if you must ride at rlight

Lincoln High Trophy Case Shows Many Championships Do you take your high school for granted or do you realize that you go to a school of which you can be "mighty" proud" There are very few high schools that can equal the championships that Lmcoln high has achieved In the history of the school it has won more than 200 trophies Lmcoln high had football champ10nsh1p trophies to display as far back as 1922, 1925, 1928 and m the 1930's Our school has captured the basketball trophy m championships which mclude 2tate, regional and d1st nct many times, gaming close to 35 trophies for this collection Track has been an ever popular sport at L HS, and as far back a<; 1900 the track t eclm wai:. wmmng honolb for 1.he Lmki:. The golfers m the history of L HS have made an outstandmg contnbut10n m obtammg trophies for its school with a total of 29. There are many other sports m which our school has shone, baseball, swimmmg, and tenms all share m the glory of wmmng for their alma mater Our debaters and journahsts also share honors with the sportsmen m rece1vmg awards Next time you walk past the trophy cases, back up and survey these honors, because few schools can boast of such a fme collection well exhibited

Our Manners Often Speak For Our Personalities As Walter Meyer said m a recent American Observer, our manners are always under exhibition That is, no matter where we go or what we say, our manners speak for our personahbes A questionnaire sent to the schools by a city courtesy committee, asked what some of the underlying causes for discourtesy nught be, to which many students replied that it began m the home Yes, our trammg does begm at home There we learn to say "please" and "thank you" and how to act at the dmner table, but as we grow older we beeome two people. At times we are mce and pohte. but otherwise we are too qmck to criticize someone before stoppmg to r ealize we, too, have probably made the same or s1m1lar mistake. Bnngmg about a more courteous atmosphere doesn't begin with the next fellow There are many poems which tell how a httle 1mile may do so much, but we always wait for the other person to smile first

Vote" Not only is it your privilege but 1t is your duty It's your duty to yourself as well as to the school to elect the best quahfied candidates for next year's student council Perhaps you are one among many who say, "Oh, I'll vote m the fmals, but the primaries aren't very important anyway " Without thmkmg about it, one might have this idea, however. primaries really play as b1g a role, 1f not bigger, than the fmals If there are enough people hke you who don t vote, the best candidates might not get to the fmal elect10n at which time you plan to vote for them Without qualified pupils running for the council. many more will not bother to vote m the fmal elect10ns The council represents you, that 1s. 1f you vote Only through laziness or Just plain negligence on the part of the students will the council fail to work for them Each year when elect10ns arrive, there is much argument about the same people gettmg office Why should there be this argument after elect10ns when students are responsible for their bemg there 7

Keep Up Your Part In Council, Clubs Do you always keep your part of the bargain in every thmg you do? Let's take for example what bemg elected as a class officer, home room representative, or student council member means to different students Do you accept this honor for JUst a few days and then either forget a ll about it, pass off the whole thmg as something not worth the effort, or do you really try to do the JOb you were elected to do to the best of your abihty? Some students don 't thmk the govern ment bodies do very much work It is true that students who do n ot r eally do their Job well will not prompt faculty advisers to give them added activities in which to help The JUmor-semor banquet which wa<> agam revived this year meant a great deal of time and work by both JUmor and semor dass officers The attendance at t he banquet provPn that students back their officer"! to thP utmo..,l If you belong l o a l )U b Ill th•' '>t r oo( It h your duty to uphold and make lhe dub better by carrymg out your part as an active, supportmg m ember Our privilege of votmg m precmcts and m regular votmg booths demonstrates t he advantages we enJOY m a democratic high school The only way a democracy can fail is to h ave the members lose mterest in it Do not let yoor orgamzat10n fail be cause of your indifference toward it

Make "Hot Rod'' Seasou Ca1·eful Driving Season "Have a good day, but do your par t to make it a safe one " To many L H S pupils t his is a familiar quotat10n of a local announcer as a n early morning disc Jockey program signs off the air Has it become so fam1har t hat it goes m one ear and right out the other ? Every mormng now that the weather is nice, a great many more pupils are dnvmg their cars, or their parents' cars, to school To see the way some of the so-called "hot rods", although the same is true of many new cars, are raced around the parkmg lots and the v1cm1ty of Lmcoln high shows complete disregard for safety This r emmds one of the dare devils of the auto races gomg at record breakmg speeds Although auto races are extremely thnllmg to watch , the race tracks are much safer places for them to be held Some pupils thmk that ''gunnmg" around town and around ::.chool can't do a ny harm because, t hey can drive well enough to keep the car under control and t he brakes are good , they could stop suddenly if t hey had to Per haps, a few can, but what about those who can't? If t he driver is dnvmg fast and carelessly what chance is there for him or the other person who didn't see him Statistics s how t hat more a utomobile accidents mvolve teen -agers than any other age group Another reason for careful dr1vmg is t he condition of t he streets after t he bad weather last wmter By h1tt mg one of these chuck holes without knowmg 1t, even at a low speed, control of the car has been lost and considerable damages a nd mJunes h ave occ1t rred Imagme what would h appen to a car and its dnver that was bem g dr iven at high speed The pede-stnans m Lincoln have t he right to expect to be able to cross the street without wondermg 1f they will be hit at any moment by a daredevil dnver from out of nowhere Remember, slow down a httle, and you. the other fellow, and yo ur car will remam in cond1t10n longer
