TWO

Football Team Anxious

For F olloivers' Enthusiasm

Football season is finally h'ere. The teallf I has been drilling for weeks in heat and rain, ! in preparation for tb.e first big game. There have probably been times when they wondered if it was worth it all. But, as the old saying goes, you can't keep a good guy down.

A good football team has several characteristics. Besides knowing the game backwards and forwards, the boys must have perseverance. They can't give up, even when the last chance seems to be gone. The fans have much to do with this stick-to-it-ivity. If they are with the team it helps a lot.

The initial test is almost upon us. Everyone is excited and determined to "do or die for old Lincoln High." 'Let's keep this enthusiasm up, and show the team that we are behind them all the way.

And what about sportsmanship? Last spring Lincoln High was awarded the sportsmanship trophy for having the best school spirit in the city That should mean a great deal to this school. It wasn't just Sue and Jack and Bill who won this award, but every student and teacher in Lincoln High, doing his part toward a more sportsmanlike attitude. It can be done again this year. Webster says that a good sportsman is "one who in sports is fair and generous; a good loser and a graceful winner." Is that us?

Lincoln High Offers

J'aried Social Life

Amid all the hurry and scurry of these first weeks of school, L.RS. hopes it has not neglected to welcome all of you sophomores and newcomers. By now you may have become more acquainted with the school and have found out if its long established, terrifying rumors are true.

L.H.S. is anxious to know you , and there are many ways in which it tries to make you feel at home and constitute your school years as a success. ·

After-school sports and clubs are all included in the school program as a benefit to you. There is not a more enjoyable or easier way to make friends than through common interest with others.

School plays, committees, operas, and offices establish you as a leader among the students.

Attendance at the L.H.S. sports events shows that no urging is needed for students to attend the games and meets. Certainly that is a showing of school spirit.

Your social activities must be balanced by your scholastic work One cannot exist without the other.

Local Murder Case Stirs

Interest of Lincoln High

"Have you lieard anything about a murder?" panted Sue as i:;he dashed up to her locker.

"Good heavens no!" replied Joan. "What in the world are you talking about?"

"Well, I heard two teachers talking about a murder right here in Lincoln High and I'd certainly like to know what's going on."

That evening at home she anxiously listened to the radio and awaited the evening paper, but to no avail. No one said anything that concerned murder;

The next day in school everything seemed so calm that Sue couldn't stand it a:ny longer Her curiosity finally getting the best of her, she asked one of the teachers just who had been murdered. (The answer was surprisingly different than what she expected.)

The ,teacher explained that you could hardly turn on the radio without hearing about this serious offense. Everyday and everywhere one could get an earful of missused words or slang.

The murder committed was the daily slaughter of the English language. Newcomer Views

Lincoln High

As a stranger to Lincoln High a first day can be a hectic one. How so many p eople call:, find for themselves among the genera1 confus10n was a problem that at first, seemed an unanswerable one. I became accustomed to it I discovered it wasn't as bad as it first appeared.

Lincoln High is lucky to have only five hours a da:y and to have a home room before first period to finish any homework that just happens to have been forgotten. the best thing about Lincoln High is the naturalness and personality that all the teachers and students seem to have.

After checking the good against the bad I have come to the conclusion that Lincoln High is the best high school I have yet attended. -New Student

Cafeteria Pep Enthusiasts

Contribute To Dinner Noise

Rumble, rumble, clank, clank, crash!

"What's that?" you say.

Why that's Lincoln High's cafeteria.

"But what's all the noise about?"

Noise, oh, there isn't much noise in there today. There isn't any game tonight. You should be around after a pep assembly! That's when we really go to town. Of co)ll'Se, school cheers and songs aren't the only noise makers we have. Every time someone happens to have a birthday you can hear them making the poor kid run around the table all the way to third floor.

"Gee, that must be fun!"

Oh, it's fun all right, if you don't happen to feel like eating or if you have a slight case of indigestion, anyway.

"Well, everyone to his tastes."

That's for sure, but what tastes like anything when its mixed with shouts of "Congratulations to you," just because someone happens to get his allowance that day. • -

"By the way, bow can all these characters sing all those songs and cheer _when their mouths are full of food?"

That doesn't make any difference to them. They just spit it across the room and cover it up with enthusiasm. It's all in fun, but some kids like to eat without • getting an eyeful of apple sauce.

"Just the same. It's all in fun like you just said."

Numerous School Activities

Present Many Busy Hours

It seems to be the human thing to complain a little too much about so many things. For instance, the other day Phyllis, a Lincoln High pupil, was overheard saying, "I am so busy these days. I just don' t have any spare time. I am either going to this club meeting or that or have a history assignment to do, or something. I almost wish I had never joined those clubs."

But, she must have been interested in them to join them in the first place, and what better thing could she be doing than attending their meetings? They are fun, educational, and an excellent way to get to know people. Besides, high school is where one wants to participate in the activities and make many lifetime friends.

A few days later she was again overheard. Perhaps she had been doing some thinking about what she had said before, because she was saying, "I have just begun to realize that I truly enjoy being busy. It is fun to have something to do all the time, even if it is studying; That is better than moping around and getting into trouble."

If we would all stop and realize our opportunities like Phyllis did, we might not gr.ipe quite so much. Not only that, we are m't>re pleasant to be with if we are not so dissatisfied with everything.

Lack of Sportsmanship

Shown at Pep Assembly

Most of us feel that we are good sports, we always have been and we always will be. We might remember, though, that maybe our sportsmanship took a vacation with us in June and forgot to come back.

• That might be the reason William B. Bogar, principal of Lincoln High, asked us where our sportsmanship was during the -last pep assembly, when we made enough noise for a bunch of sixth graders at their first football game.

Let's turn on the volume and show some pep. After all, we're behind the team and we should tell them so. More cheering in pep meetings and at the games will show us and our opponents that our sportsmanship is back from vacation!

Following the Crowd

Often Brings Disaster

After the football game one night all the crowd piled into an old car. Margie looked at the car with doubt "I know it's not safe, it has no brakes," she thought to herself, "but then if everyone else goes it must be all right."

It was not all right, however, for the old car could not stop at the intersection and Margie was badly hurt in the accident that followed. And so Margie learned the hard way that it is best not to do a thing just because everyone else does.

Do we need to have an accident before we learn to use our own judgment?

Let's learn from Margie's sad experience and save ourselves pain and sorrow.

Hi sprouts! What's growing?

S.C. East vs. Links

Rain and a wet field produced one of the most exciting pigskin spectacles, as far as fumbles, intercepted passes, and slipping baH carriers go, as we have seen in the Lincoln High oval for a long time, resulting in a final tally of 14 for the Red and Black to no score for the Orange and Black visit-0rs from Sioux City.

The damp bleechers and preg a me drizzle was soon forgotten as Ted King approached the ball f or the initial kick off which would christen the second Missouri Valley contest for the Red and Black.

King's bobbled kicked started the Siouxs rolling on the Links' 47 but they were soon halted on the 30 as a result of a fumble recovered by the Links. The fans didn't have to wait long for the initial marker. Sixteen plays later, Lincoln's powerful offense, led by MacWilliams and Bill Debus crossed the double chalk mark to rack up 6 counters for the Red and Black. Then came the display of the Links' powerful scoring ability. The extra point attempt by MacWiliams was nul:ified by a 15 yard holding penalty so the Links attempted t.he conversion once more. BDbby Northrup galloped the 17 yards around his 1eft end scarcely touched by one of the opposfog- eleven.

Au exchange of fumbles then followed as a result of the wet turf. And then came the thrill of the 45 minute session. With four minutes left in the first period, big Bill Debus litterally grabbed the pigskin from the hands of Halfback Obrekaitis and marched 70 yards to the promised land untouched by the Sioux, thanks to the tremendous blocking of Tack-le Ken Brierly and Center Harold Burling. Both boys leveled the only two chances of the Blac'k Raiders catchi11g "The Bull." King shot aruund dg·ht. for the single marker.

The Red. and Black s powerful forward wall Jed by Sylvester Mendoza, also had several chances to display its strength-the most famous being the goal line stand. In four plays the Sioux City crew could pick up but one of the necessary two yards it needed to break into the scoring column. The visitors were sparked by 140 pound Dave Van Fleet.

It'll be a temptation to chuck your books in your locker one of these vivid October days and take off on a picnic up by the river or out near the sand-pit lakes. The tall trees will still be partly green, but the wood vines will have turned completely red, like a bright scarf hanging from t he sober bushes and half-grown trees. The grass will still be green and long enough to bend over, under the huge elms by the lakes that's about enough of that.

Debaters Form New Organization

• The honor ratings are as fol- ! lows: All-American (superior 1 rating), First Class (excellent rating), Second class (good rating), Third class (fair rating), and Fourth class (no honors).

Every publication ls anal yzed and rated. To make competition as fa ir as possible, papers are classified according to method of publication, type of school (whether it is College or University, Junior College, Senior High, or Junior High School), enrollment of the school, and frequency of issue.

The sYStem of rating seems to create within the school a year- toyear effort to improve the quality of the school publications-to establish t he ideal of improvement. It isnot the object to stimulate blind imita tion and standardization. among school publications.

This survey provides a practical outline for the u s e of critics in analyzing newspap e rs. a nd fur· nishes helpful, specific suggestions to staffs.

A Ballad of Football

By Kenneth B. Wicken

In football, Lincoln High has won

Four games for four already, The game next week we'll win by :far

But with th.e help of Perry. Northrup, Debus, Mc.Williams and King

Make the touchdowns dary,

But we couldn't get along in a football game

Without the help of Perry,

We'll try to win all :football games

Lincoln High Football Men

Rated First in Nebraska

Extra! Extra! All sports fans, read all about it! Lincoln High School football team rated number one in the state!

It takes a lot to build up a football team to the position ours now holds. Our boys and coaches began working two weeks before school started and they're still hard at it every night after school.

Everyone can't get out · on the field and play football, just as everyone doesn 't possess the talent to play in the band. That's where the rest of us c9me in. Any team, no matter how good, needs the support and backing of its school and students. They need to know that there's somebody them that really cares whether they wm or lose.

If you're one of these people who like to talk and create a racket in your classroom, why not save it for the pep assemblies and ;really let loose. It seems that there are a lot of people who don t know the real purpose of the pep assemblies. The Peppers and Cheerleaders dou.'t i;;it up the!'e just to put on a show. They:re. only t<_> lead the yelling. The ma]ority of noise is expected to come from the rest of us.

Next time you find yourself in the auditorium for a pep assembly, then, don't sit there as though you don't know what it's all about, but join in and scream for the team That's the best way to show them we care. It's easier to cheer a winning team than a losing one, but let's keep ours on the win streak. A first class team deserves a first class cheering section.

New Parking Facilities to Be Considered for Stzidents

"Gee, I'm sorry I'm late, but I brought my car this morning and I just couldn't find a place to park." This is an excuse that rings through the building every morning just a few minutes after 8 :40.

The first step toward solving this problem has been taken by appointing a Parking Problem Committee. The first action was to determine by a show of hands in the home rooms, approximately how many drive cars to school. The next step will be to find out who these people are and how often they drive. The final problem will be making available mpre parking spaces close to the school than the 70 that already exist.

In addition to providing more parking areas, a sticker system such as used on the university campus might help in solving the ;problem, with only those cars bearing stickers being permitted to park in the rec stricted areas. Stickers would be issued to students, teachers and

The story begins on May morning in 1826 when a foreign man presents himself to 14 year old Tops. The mysterious stranger is a dirty, ragged looking man speaking a language unknown in Wales. He is :found to be a prince carrying a precious diadem in the fold of his plaid. From that first meeting on, Tops finds that he is involved in an intriguing adventure. After a series of events Tops arid a group of companions set forth to help the stranger recover Quivera, his land on the other side of the ocean. The expedition included '1.'ops' father, a scholarhistorian; his Aunt Tupenny; Sir Richard, a close friend and magistrate; and Mr. Laurin, who supplies the Volcano, a steamship which is launched !or the venture. Captain Darkness, a s1nall ugly m an, is dangerous as a snake, and is the chief adversary. You could always hear l)im sweetly whistling the tune, "The Ballad of Captain Kidd."

Many Improvements

Have you noticed anything new at Lincoln High? As a matter of fact, there are three new things, and if you have not no• ticed them yet, it is about time you do. They are the new scoreboard in the oval, the riew bleachers, and the new pay telephone installed just outside the front door of the building. It is through the Home Room Representatives that these accompiishments were niade, because these were their projects for last year.

The old scoreboard was used so much it was practically worn out and a new one is very welcome. The previous one was in use for four or five years according to the maintenance department of the public schools.

The new bleachers are the kind that do not overlap at the ends. This is a relief to many spectators who will not have to worry about getting caught between the ends of the seats.

·

The new telephone is a big convenience, and if it continues to be used a great deal, it will remain here. It comes in handy having another phone in the building besides the one in the office, and there is not as much congestion at either one.

It is hoped the student body appreciates these features and will help the school by making suggestions to their Home Room Representatives for more improvements to be discussed at their meetings.

Guarding Halls Presents Exasperating Situations

Hall guarding's a snap. Sez who? Surely not the hall guard herself. Although she might have thought so when she signed up for it last spring. It's just a good way to get an extra forty winks, besides getting five hours c:i\ldit, she thought. No one will bother me and I can do all my studying. But does no one bother the poor hall guards?

For instance, there's the girl who just has to go to her locker. So the hall guard, being a good kid, lets her go. Next comes the lad who must meet his girl. Of course he couldn't take the long way around and go through open corridors. Oh no, these big, husky athletes couldn't possibly walk the few extra steps.

Then there's always the university guy who comes to see his girl. And after coming all the way over here, you can't disappoint him by not letting him through.

This is only part of the hail guards' troubles. For soon some joker will greet you with a hearty "Hiya,, and a loud-voiced opinion of the latest happenings, causing the teachers to come scurrying out to see what the commotion is. One strike against you in the teachers' opinion, besides being reported as a very unreliable and uncapable hall guard. Just remember, it isn't eaey to say, ''This hall is closed." So don't make it hard for the hall guard.

Six Weeks Reports Make Room for Improvement

Well, the first six weeks are past. Report cards have come out and our worries are over. Or have they just begun? Of course, we understand that all those low grades are the teacher's fault. Maybe we've even got our parents believing it by telling them she always calls on us to recite, makes us give special reports, and in general, just "picks" on us. But do we really believe that? Remember the times we didn't do the lesson because it was too long or too hard? Maybe we forgot to make up the lessons we missed when we were absent. Perhaps we feel that those few grades aren't too important, but those zeros don't look too good among those other grades. So is it really the teacher's fault?

Beside the scholarship grade, one other is almost as important-citizenship. Many times when we are applying for a job, our prospective employer will check our school records. Our scholarship grades may be good but if our citizenship grades are poor it may mean the difference between obtaining the job or having the employer find someone· else for the position. If we want to get to the top we must learn to take criticism and orde::"s 11.s well as give them.

Car Drivers Have Worries

Lincoln High's parking problem has been brought to the attention of both the Student Council and Home Room Representatives, and several suggestions have been m a de to improve conditions.

The first step toward better pa r king was a questionnaire issued to those who drive cars to sc h ool. It revealed the following facts: 131 pupils drive cars to school more than four days a week, 11 custodians and 53 teachers drive to school. Besides this number now driving there are many others who would drive if parking space were available, but of 206 parking places now needed there are only 70.

It has been suggested that parking on North Field be allowed and that stickers be used as a means of identification to keep non-Lincoln High cars out of school parking areas.

Then you'll eat something like spaghetti, salad, and milk. On a test day, the girls eat as much as the boys. Trays from a third period class go by loaded down with soup, salad, mashed potatoes, vegetables, ice cream, and chocolate milk. But on Fridays, you can tell who's been wise and who hasn't.

North High School is smaller than Lincoln High, but the enrollment is about the same. They htve an eight hour school day starting at 8:20 until 3:03. They have Student Council the same as we do, and also Student Commission, which is a group recommended by teachers, that keeps order in the school. They have two freshmen, four sophomores, four junfors, and four seniors on Student Council.

A fun night dance was held October 13, in the North High gym, with comic strips on the bandstand. They don t play up

L.H.S. Octe1t Meets Widmark

As the Girls' Oct et returned to school Oct ober 8, they w ere each flashing a small bit of paper of library card or whatever coul d be found at that vit al moment.

It all started when Carole Unterseher forg ot her music a t t he hotel where they had sung and she and Ann Bramwell went back after it while the ot her girls waited p a tiently on the corn er for 1 the bus.

They didn't come back and they didn't come, so finally, seeing a crowd in fron t of the hotel, the other gir ls ran up the street a b lock to see w h a t was happening. What do you t hink? There was Ann and Carole looking swooningly on as Ri chard Widmar k got into a car in front of the hot el.

About that time b rav e Caroly n Roxberg walked up to the car and asked for an autograph and then each in turn got not only an autograph but also a handshake a f t e r Marylin Ivic Cault!.t s <t id , " 011, just let me him."

This isn't all. As they turned to leave they saw that a man with a moving picture camera had been taking their picture.

HELLO FROM HARVEY1 S

---How be ya? So?

How're the grades? Oh well, don't be discouraged. There are always more where those came from. (Happy thought). Remember little Tommy Calder, who played "Archie" in the Junior class play? In case you didn't know it "little" (5'4 ) Tom has a twin b_·other, "big (5'6") Mike. And other than their dark eyes and hair, you'd never guess they're twins. Mike's excuse for being taller is that he's a whole fift een minutes older than Tom. Their hobby seems to be getting aroun d 'ye olde iowne' in their 1935 L. J. (short for "Littl" ewe!")

Jobs Daughters, Cubs, and Y make up t he activities ot Sally. She likes spor ts, ice skating, dancing, and enjoys drawing. She hopes to go to art school. Sally's comment. about the team was, ''I think they're great, but I don't know much about fo otball."

A lot of the athletes in school are really taking their particular sport to heart this year. I suppose you have noticed a lot -0f fellows dressed in sweat togs and running around the oval track these first few weeks of school. These fellows are basketball players, swimmers and even a couple of pole vaulters who are getting the jump on the rest of the squad by being in shape when the practice sessions officially open. +think, and I know the coaches agree, that this pre-season working out is a good idea. It shows that the fellows are really interested in making the team. It shows up too, in the first practices. we wish more athletes in L incoln High would get interested in this idea and then maybe we could stay on the top rung of the ladder when it comes to competitive athletics. It looks as though the easiest part of the foo t ball schedule is in the history books and the toughest is still ahead of us. Alliance is undefe ated wh ile Grand Island and South have only one loss on their records. Grand Island was without the aid of two of their backfield standouts when they were beaten by the Omaha North horde so we can safely say that this was not a true test of the Islanders' strength. South was upset by Sioux City Central, 14-13 One disadvantage in the Sout h game is that we will be on their field and some people say that the home team is good for six points more than if they were away, so the boys will really have to be "up" for this game. Alliance, undefeated so ·far, is proving itself to be one of t he strongest con ten ders for the state championship honors, having performed several upsets so far this season. All in all it looks

Modern Chivalry Ignored

By Teen-Age 'Gentlemen'

Is chivalry dead? If you're a girl, the answer no doubt, is a big, loud YES!! And where yciu got such an idea isn't any secret. No one demands the kind of chivalry Sir Walter Raleigh disployed when he spread his coat over a mud-puddle so Queen Elizabeth could cross, but , • • modern chivalry (called courtesy) is justly expected. But where is it?

For instance, who bullies their way onto the bus, grabs a seat and laughs at the. struggling of some poor book laden girl? :Whose big feet like the bus seat next to their owner better than the floor? Whose clumsiness just "happeils" to knock ,a g irl's books from her arms in the hall, leaving her to the task f>f picking tltem up amid the onrush of trampling feet?

You guessed it! Those mighty men of the world whose mamas' advice on gallantry went unheeded. - Boys seem to think that courtesy to girls is only necessary on dates or for little boys and old men. Well, the girls don't think so! Little everyday courtesies make a boy number one on any girl's hit parade. No, chivalry isn't dead, but the so-called "gentlemen" of today have certainly given it a serious case of anemia. -

Student,s Future Success Depends , On Career ,Plans

The other day a group of students was discussing what they planned to do after graduating from high school. Bob said, "Oh, I'll probably end up being a lawyer. Nothing really interests Irie, and since my dad's a lawyer, I guess that's as good as anything." As for Jean, her plans for the future were v ery indefinite. "I'll attend the Univ ersity for a couple of years, and then probably get married," said she.

Many of us have not given much thought to career plans, thinking that there is plenty of time for that later on. But is there ? High school is the best time to b egin preparing for lifetime jobs. You say, "But there's nothing that I'm interested in as a career." Everyone is interested in something and it is our responsibility to find out what we are best suited for No one is successful unless he honestly likes the j ob.

Thanksgiving Turkeys

Discuss Destinations

"Say, they're feedin' us pretty good now that the frost has set in."

"You dumb cluck! Don't you know why? They're fattening us up for Thanksgiving dinner. That' s why!"

"Suffering pin-feathers! You mean-,-"

"Yeh that's right, and when they stretch neck out on the block you'll regret that you made such a glutton of yourself."

"But why us? Why don't they eat pheasant or chicken or ducks?"

"Well son, it seems we're sort of a symbol of this thing they call Thanksgiving."

''Symbol, how' s that? I don't feel very symbolic!"

It's this way: some years back, before our time, some people floated across an ocean and landed on some rock. It was somewhere back east. These people were so thankful that they set aside a time to giye thanks for all these blessings. They bad a feast and they ate roast turkey."

"Oh! So now we're a symbol of Thanksgiving."

"Sure, of course that wasn't the idea to begin with. The turkeys were just incidental. The real idea was this Thanksgiving deal."

"Yeh; where does that Thanksgiving come in, anyhow?"

"Sometimes it doesn't nowadays. You see; people are used to cars and neon lights and they're inclined to take things for granted.,,

"Then I'm going to lose my head for a losing cause."

"No, son, not altogether. People have more to be thankful for than all these physical possessions."

"They may be thankful for a way of·life and with so many countless blessings, they can't help but be somewhat aware of them."

"That's right, but sometimes they forget and just think of us turkeys."

"Uh huh, but Thanksgiving isn 't dead. It just needs to be dug up out of the ground "

Votes, Polls, and Shepherds· Sometimes Go Together

For many years the shepherd kept watch over his flock. He was a good shepherd and had never lost a sheep. But one day he fell asleep and when he woke up it was too late-his sheep were gone.

Yesterday many of us went to the poils to vote in the general ·county elections. But there were many of us who were .just too "lazy" over one thing and another and besides, our candidate would win. He was strong enough and one little vote wouldn't make any difference.

But today the winners were announced and you know for some surprising reason "our" candidate came in second.

Registration Time Brings Credit Problems To Pupils

Seeing that registration is rolling around again, there are a f ew problems arising and suggestions to ·take care of these problems.

Some seniors are coming up at end of the year and finding they are short a few hours to graduate. Don't let this happen to you, sophomores and j uniors. It isn't any fun to h ave to miss graduating with your class. Register for all six semesters at once.

Some people don't understand about their registration and would like to have some h elp. The home room teachers and advisors will be glad to help you with your registration.

This was the premiss of a debate conducted by members of Lincoln High's newly formed Rostrum Club Tuesday night, November 27 on the local radio program, '"l'he Voice of the Young Citizen Speaks."

Jerry Cherry presented the affirmative case. He stated that although sports are considered an important educational factor in school life, the over-emphasis of major sports should be avoided Jerry also claimed that sports ver y often detract from valuable study time. Bob Battey supported · Jerry in the affirmative argument by saying that the more immediate change should be made in college sports where commercialization of athletics has become such a great problem

Judges Choose Six Apprentices

Helen Ratcliff, Bev Jacobs, Diane Knotek, Sharon Littrell, Eleanor McCauley and Joy Wag-

ner were six verJ happy junior girls Friday aftenoon, November 30, as a result o; the Apprentice Cheerleader tryouts. These girls were chosen froiil the 73 sophomore and junicr girls who tried out Thursday before twelve judges, consist ng of six teachers and six rep :esentatives chosen from the studmt body. The Apprfntices cheer at the reserve basl!etball 'games before the regulan play throughout the first appearance will be at r. he Scottsbluff game, l>ecember a.

LeRoy Buiherus preseuted the negative case. He said that a boy participating in athletics learns a great deal more about the give and take of life on the field than he could ever learn ' in school.

LeR,oy stated the itnportance of careers in the field of sports should certainly be considered and that many more injuries are incurred in unsupervised play than are received in supervised participation in school sports

Bob Barnett supported LeRoy on the negative side by claiming that there is too much emphasis on the pCJor showing in studies of a very few athletes.

Ken Greenwood; who acted as moderator, then called for qu.estions from the floor. Ron Danek 1 directed the first question to the affirmative side. He wanted to know what is wrong with junior high participation in these sports.

Jerry replied that it had been the affirmative desire to point out only the faults found on the college level rather than athletics as a whole.

Drucella H ansen t hen asked wha.\ would students and fans think of this program of de-emphasis if it were put into effect.

Jerry answered by stating that most students that it is to their benefit to have sports deemphasized

Robert Munger, .)., 1 rnalisrn 1 teacher at Lincoln High. another question. He wanted'. to know if there couldn't be more or less of a middle ground between the two extremes of complete de-emphasis and complete over-emphasis.

Bob Battey replied for the affirmative that this might be possible by putting more of an emphasis on intra-mural sports.

Thea Borgman then directed a challenge to the negative side. She said that she was under the impression that the money received from major sports usuall;v went towards buying new and better athletic equipment.

Bob Barnett replied for the negative by stating that this money is also used to finance in- · tra-mural s ports.

Doug Scott then pointed qui tha t although schools receive a lot of valuable money from sports, thev coul,i just as well get along on do1•rnlio 11s from alumni.

Bol, Bm·netl again :rnswered for the neg ative by cl aim ing that alumn i are more w illing to contribute m on ey to their alma maters if those colleges boasted outstanc\ini athletes and teams.

Thoughtless Students Cause Extra Work

Do you display your athletic ability by tossing paper wads at the waste baskets in your class rooms ? Or are you one of the many who sit and spit Russian peanut shells on the floor? That's exactly wl'lat floors are for.

After all, the custodians don't h a \O enough to do, so why not clutter up the floors with paper and other miscellaneot'., rubbish, so they can stay late at night and clean it up?

Oh, what fun it is to make confetti and then just casually throw it across the aisle at one of your buddies, who in turn thrOY"the remainder back at you. After you\<;) through chewing your gum, instead of taking that long trip to the waste basket, just stick it on the desk. Somebody will probably sit on it but what's the difference? You didn' t have to tire yourself by walking that tremendous distance to the waste basket.

Why stop and think about the people who have to clean up after you? You're just in high school and don't know any better. They'll just think, "My, how cute of the little darlings. We'd be standing around idl e if it weren't for their antics." We all kno1' it is much easier for the custodians to sweep the entire room and clean out 30 desks then to empty two waste baskets.

Why don't we all take a good look at ourselves?

Cheating Eventutilly Catches Its Victims

You'v e all met or heard of Mary Jones

Possibly she's the girl who sat next t o you in chemistry or she might even be the girl you walk to school with. :Mary always got pretty fair grades but remember how she was always "just happening to forget to do her assignment so could she please borrow yours-" you know how it is!

Well it so happened Mary just couldn't stand history. When Mrs. Nelson ass ign ed the presidents of the United States to the class, Mary kept p utting off le arning them. She wasn't worried t hough b ecause a ll she had to do was sit half way out of her seat and make her neck like a giraff's a nd she could see the paper of the g irl sitting next to h er. Mary got a 78 on that te st. That wasn't failing, but with a little studying s he could have done ever so much better.

During Christmas vacat ion Mary and her folks went to N ew York. They were fortunate in obtaining tickets to a big quiz program 0n television. Mary was one of the lucky spectators to be chosen as a contestent and s he was in seventh heaven b eca us e sh e knew s0me of the kids b ack hom e would be watching. She answered t he first few questions without much troubl e Tl: <: n they came to the big que s tion. The announcer turned to Mary and said, " Can you t ell m e three presidents in United States histor y who h ad t'ie first name of J ames?" Mary stuttered and stammered and said, "I should know but I just don't." The announcer said , "I'm sorry you didn't win the $1000."

Mary is only one of many examples. Does cheating really pay?

Christmas Giving Brings

Much Happiness to Others

"Mrs. Jones, did you know there are only 16 more s hopping days until Chri stmas?"

"Yes, and I'm so worried I h ave s o m a ny peopl e to buy gifts for It seems as if there just isn't e noug h t ime or money this y ear "

"My hus band's g iving m e a new fur coat and my daug hter who is i n hig h school thinks we jus t must get a t e levi s ion s et, so I suppose we' ll get that too."

"Here comes poor old Mrs Sprinter I wonder what s h e' ll do this Christmas? She hasn't anyone to get presen ts from."

"How do you do, Mrs. S printer? It's s o cold out, is that the warmest coat you have?"

"Yes, but it' s good enough for me Some peopl e don't even have t h a t. Have a nice Christmas, goodby!"

Y ou know, I really don't need t h at fur coat this year. The one I have is only two yea rs old."

"The Good Book ·says s om ething like 'D o unt o othe r s' Why don't w e get togeth er and buy old Mrs Sprinte r a warin coat for Christmas? I think too often w e t hin k of only ourselves; a n d I'm g oing to g ive some money t o the T.B. drive too."

Numerous Things Happen to Make Tryouts Unusual

If you were w ondering why so many junior and sophomore girls were wearing full skirts and long sleeved sweaters last Thursday, the answer, and a noisy one, could be found in the study hall after school.

Those who were there say it was quite a scene. The girls trying ·out had numbers pinned to them, for identification. The judges sat at desks in a kind of semi-circle. All the aspirants stood in back of the judges and on desks and yelled with the trying-out girls to give the proper effect. Back in the corners, two or three at a time would be practicing· their yells. Curious faces would appear beneath the frost glass panels in the center doors to the study hall. Several boys sneaked in the back to watch their girls try out, but they didn't last long. Several other Peppers, eheerleaders, and just plain onlookers appeared briefly, moseying around and asking questions. How did the hopefuls themselves feel? Well, just after she c arol" b :>ck frcirn ti:yinl! out, Lui:ette Makepeace said, "I feel awful. My mind was a complete blank."

"I was too excited to be scared," Joy Wagner grinned.

"When you come out you can't walk-you just melt off " Bev Jaeobs said.

Marybelle McKim said, "I'm hausted now, but it was a lot of fun, anyway· Dianne Knotek added, "I had butterflies!"" A lot of work went- into t Uts "I started ·practicing ryo •. • ,, two or three months ago, Eleanor McCauley said. "I feel so hot and tired right now • ."

J oin High School's Roll

Lincoln High has recently wel· corned two new pupils to their student body. The two boys are members of home room 307 and home room 304.

"Lincol n High seems to be very friendly," stated newcomer Dick Mettam, senior, who hails from Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis,

Have you ever where marvelous story spread over some of America's Christmas cus- Europe. toms came from, such as the · Christmas tree, the hanging of stockings, and the memorable mistietoe? The story goes like this. Christmas is today's name for the Yule, or the Jul of the northern European s, the Neil of the F rench, and the Noche-buena of the Spanish. The Roman Catholic Church named the Christ mass "Christmas." Sometimes the word Christmas is written "Xmas" because "X" is the Greek equivalent of "Ch" and is therefore taken to represent the word "Christ." The idea of Christmas bells, ' both the little jingling ones and the big tolling ones, was started from a legend that when Christ was born Satan died, and the bell in the church was rung At exactly midnight the tolling changed to a joyful peal announcing the birth of Christ. Association of trees with Christmas is thought to have grown out of an old Arabian legend of the tenth century. According to this legend, on the night that Christ was born all the trees in the forest, despite snow and ice, bloomed and bore fruit. This

As a result, many householders adopted the practice of cutting the boughs of hawthorn and cherry trees and placing them in warm water in a warm place inside the house so that they might come into bloom for the sacred season. Sometimes whole trees were placed in large pots in the corner of a room, and by careful attention were made to bloom in late December. The transition from these trees to the decorated tree was made in Germany. The sending of Christmas cards seem to be strictly an AngloSaxon custom. As far back as the reign of Queen Anne, British children wrote Christmas pieces for relatives, but the first holiday greeting, as we know them, was sent in 1845, by one of Queen Victoria's favorite printers. By 1870 the custom was well established.

The gem of the Christmas stocking idea came from Belgium, where children put their wooden shoes or leather boots close to the hearth. These shoes were filled with food for the horse of St. Nicholas. On Christmas morning the food in the shoes was gone. In its place were sweets and gifts for good boys and girls, and bits of coal and birch r od s for the naughty ones( Santa Claus is the American version of St. Nicholas, the European guardian saint of the yourig. - The Dutch settlers brought him

He1d By Choir Try -outs for the recently selected opera, Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Sorceress," to be performed by the Senior Choir in the spring, began Tuesday December 3. Those girls trying out for lea ds were tested for poise as they practiced walking across the auditorium stage while making motion s The boys tried out the following Thursday and both boys and girls tried out Friday. Voice try-outs will be held at a later date. The opera was chosen by a committee consisting of: Marilyn Beideck, Joan Larsen; Orvis Wall and Pat McGinty. Selection was based on whether the lead parts , in those operas that were considered, would lend themsel ves to the talent in this semester's Senior Choir.

Miss Emily Schossberger, associate editor of the Prairie Schooner, University of Nebraska literary quarterly, and head of the University of Nebraska Press spoke to the Writers' Club Monday, December 10. "A young schoolteacher in the Kentucky mountains who wrote short stories wasn't having much luck, Miss Schossberger said. "Finally he had his first acceptance from the 'Schooner.' Since then he has written two books, "Taps for Private Tussie" and "The Thread that Runs So True." Jessie Stuart was a 'Schooner' discoVllilry .' " The "Prairie Schooner" is the one magazine trying to reflect mid-western life, morals, and mores, says Miss Schossberger. It has been published for 25 consecutive years, with Professor L. C. Wimberly as editor for those years. "The success of the magazine is largely due to his acumen and literary genius," Miss Schossberger said. Miss Schossberger was born :tn Austria and came to Lincoln in 1941. She has he aded th e versity of Nebraska Press since then.

'52 March of Dimes Ca mpai g n WiJl Benefit Victi ms of Polio

The 1952 March of Dimes campaign will be conducted January 2 thru January 31.

Everyo,ne stricken by Polio benefits in some way by the contributions to foe March of Dimes. The National Foundation for Infantile ·Paralysis uses these funds to maintain depots equipped with iron lungs, hot pack machines and other equipment ready to be rushed to any epidemic area. It also finances in.;. tensive research to discover the cause and cure of polio. It aids patients as fong as there is hope of recovery and pays their hospital bills if financial assistance is needed. It does much toward training doctors and nurses in modern polio treatment methods.

All this is completely voluntary and the National Foundation does not expect families to pay back financial assistance.

Polio is definitely on the increase in America. The March of Dimes, for the fourth straight year, has been outpaced by the march of ·polio. The number of polio cases has increased considerably in the last four years. From 1948 thru 1951 a total of 132,000 cases were reported as compared with 113,500 :for the entire previous decade.

Primarily a children's disease, polio has been striking an increasing number of adults. It has also been pointed out that in the United States and other countries of comparable sanitation, epidem• ics of poliomyelitis are comJDon, whereas in countries of poor sanitation and livihg .con ditions the disease occurs only rarely. A characteristic of polio is that while it often cripples the body, it does not affect the mind. Men• tal Powers are untouched ·in the vast majority of

Yule Season Brings Hope

Wh,at does Christmas mean to you?

When we were small children, it meant bright lights , Santa Claus, Christmas trees, af\d all the childish excitement that is the true spirit of the hilarious celebrating of this great day.

The significance of a day of reverent celebration is the mood in which most of us approach this holy day now. The miracle birth of the Christ child, who was sent to save the people and bring new light to the world, exemplifies the feeling we should have of a rebirth of our deep f eelings

The world in this time of war and strife is starved for a renewal 'of our hope and trust Christ, by his life of truth in teachings, gave us that hope which we need so badly now.

Christianity, i nspired by the greatest life ever lived, is to many people a way of life, love and the basis of all hope.

As we grow in our understandin1' of life, we are beginning to give some real thought to the origin of this day of 'peace on earth good will to men" and what role lt plays in· our lives.

Six Period System Possible

A new system of six periods a day may repface the well known five period day next fall.

Th is change was proposed and discussed by Dr Steven N. Watkins, · principals of the three high schools, and faculty members.

There are many advantages to such a change. One of these is that students would have an extra period to take various electives or to use the time as a study period. Classes would not be as crowded and more courses would be open to more students. Also under this program the change would bring Lincoln High School into line with the best current practice in larger high schools.

There are also certain problems which Will have to be worked out. Some of these are that the teachers will have an extra period of teirching a day, and the lunch period will be cut five minutes shorter.

P"lans Being Made for Aid

To Parking L0:t Situation

To the relief of many Lincoln High pupils, they are going to get their longawaited parking lots. Although only part of the plans have been approved at this time the lots will eventually furnish space for more than 100 cars. At the present, the school's parking area provides for only 70 cars. These 70 spaces are supposed to take care of 11 custodians, 55 teachers, reserved spaces for the school nurse, Driver Education, Operations and Maintenance Department, plus 141 students who drive cars to school at least four days a week. It is obvious that this cannot be done.

If aJI the new plans are approved, the present lot is to be reserved for the employees and teachers. The students will use the new ones. These accommodations have been badly needed, and they are certainly worth waiting for. Yes, this is a big step in the future

Extra Sleep and Best Girl

Usual Tardiness Excuses

Are you one of those people who are habitually late?

Ha.ve you ever stopped to think just why? Do it now!

Maybe you're like"'M:ary who enjoys getting in that extra five or ten minutes of sleep every morning. Sure, it's hard to climb out of your nice warm bed, but then it's not the best thing to come dragging into home room at 8:45 each day.

Or perhaps you're more Jim's type. Jim just has· to walk his best girl to class and linger in the hall ·until almost time fo r the bell. He then rushes down the stairs arriving shortly after the period begins. Mary and Jim are two typical high school students. There are many Marys and Jirns right here in Lincoln High who just never seem to make it to class on time. Are ;you one?

New Year, New Semester ' ·· Ought To Bring Changes

With the birth of the new year, 1952, comes the birth of a new semester. This is a time to start anew, make a complete change in your record and, perhaps, yourself.

· Remember last June when you received those i eport cards, took one look, then buried them? Maybe you decided then to ' raise all your grades, or maybe you decided, I ff you're a senior that you just didn't care I any more. Stop and think-is that th e right attitude to take?

As we go into another new semester, I let's all try a little harder, make our grades a little better, and ourselves a little prouder It isn't hard if our attitude is right.

Honest Girl Helps Create Feeling of Thoughtfulness

Isn't it nice to pick up the Advocate and read about some extra special case of honesty and courtesy, as in today's issue? Referring of course to the story of the who made an effort to r eturn the money to its owner, when he lost it in the halls, we wish to congrat ulate that person and hope that this will set a good example for all L.H.S. pupils.

Universities Debate Here

Jack Rogers and Charles Goh-

man, from the University of Nebraska, debated the question, "Resolved: That all American citizens should be subject to conscription for esse:atial services in time of war," with Bud Bradshaw and Roy Beavers, University of Missouri students, on January 9 in room 309 during fifth period.

Nebraska brought forth the following points:

· 1. "That there is a need for effective mobilization in time of war. 2. That present methods are ineffective in a crisis.

3. That total conscription is the most effective method of mobilizing for action."

After agreeing with Nebraska on their first point, that there is a need for effective mobilizat ion, Missouri countered with these facts: "Mobilization cannot be done with conscription" and that "there is not a need fQF any change in our present system."

There was no decision in the debate which was sponsored by the ROitrum Club.

The cast consisted o f five Lincoln High girls. They were Gloria McKim, Barbara Binning, PhyHis Eithner, Sheila Murphy, and Kay Evans.

Setting of the play was the early 1900's, when such songs as "Come Away With Me Lucille" and "When You Wore a Tulip" were popular.

According to Wilma, the singing of "By The Sea," with Kay Evans in an old-fashioned bathing suit, was the hit of the evening Along with the review, there were old-time "flicker" movies corresponding to the time.

Wilma has been writing and ::lirecting her own plays since she was in the eighth grade at Irving Junior High Her latest accomplishment is a novel "The Road To Nowhere which she hopes to have published soon,

Cafeteria Ceiling Dressed In New Sound-proof Design

I am the cafeteria ceiling. Perhaps you have noticed my new covering; it's the latest style. I believe one of the workmen who helped dress me in it said it wc:i-s of the new ultra-modern, New York design. The material of my covering is of the finest quality and guaranteed t?o. M::( special creation is an eggsh.ell white with the most beautiful perforations you ever saw. Each one is made exactly to measurements by a patented process. The straight design has all the splendor, but simplicity of the mod· ern world. The soft texture of the material quiets the room splendidly. I'm sure you've noticed how wonderful I am, but if you hav en't, then by all means come and see me

The women in the cafeteria say that I make their job much more pleasant and that I make it a delightful place to eat now.

Cupid Shoots 44rrow Again

How many times have you bounced out of bed on the morning of February 14 and rushed gaily to the mail-box, eagerly hoping for some mail, to find nothing except some old bills, a Sears and Roebuck catalog, an advertisement for genuine raffia tablecloths, and several frilly bits of red paper and lace. The last article is known as a Valentine. "Oh, pshaw," you might say, "nothing at all of ii;nportance." Now really, my friend, can't you see .the significance in these Valentines? They are a quaint old custom, dating way back Almost .as far as I can remember. You know, those Valentines usually mean that someone has a great love for you. It must, because I can't imagine your worst enemy saying to you in words dripping with love and emotion, "Won't you be my Valentine?"

So, don't take those Valentines so lightly. They may be of great importance in your young life. Be happy when someone sends you one. Be gay! Be joyful! Then go in to breakfast and forget about it.

Have Yon Heard? I

I was browsing through tke li-

brary the other day w hen I saw Suzy Good very e n grossed in a book. So naturally my curi osity got the best of me, and I just had to ask her what she was reading. She said that it was a new book, " Anne of a Thousand Day s ," by Maxwell Anderson, and very interesting, too She t old me a little bit of the plot, which I'll tell you.

It's a historical novel, but it's written up in play form, which makes it seem more real. The story is concerned with Anne Boleyn; taken fr om the time when King Henry VIII came to claim her, to the time she awaits her · exec ution. · I let Suzy go back to her reading a nd ccntinued on my way looking for a good book to read. As I passed the fiction, se ction I saw Susie Delehant looking very bewildered I a sked her what was wrong, a n d she told me she was looking for a book to read for p l easure, a:id to take up s p are tim e, but was at a loss as to what to pick So I suggested that we go over the new book rack a nd see if we could find something One bo ok especially attracted our eyes, so we took it d own. Its title was "Silver Blades," by Sarah Loui s e Barrett. It seemed to be l j u st what she wanted, as we found it was about a high school girl, Holly Ingalls, who already is an expert skater but wishes to b ecome a p-rofessional.

Quotable Quiz 1

With Valentine's Day only a week away, we :feel it is fitting to devote this column to the occasion. This question was a sked of some of the stary -eyed s tud ents cruising around the halls "Wha t would you like most for a Valentin e present?" These are the answers I came up with: Jack Parris: "A gitt from Huskerville." Bill Harm: "A few L" pins back " Phyllis Cast: "A Mi-Mousl." Ken Brierly: "Have more parties." Pattie Ellis : " A 6' 2" browneyed Valentine." Don Erway: "Valentines. Isn t that what you usually get?" Frank Vogt: "That's hard to describe." Norm Watkins: "A nice steady girl like Redge Roper's ." (There a re two of them.)

Study Helps Now On File In Study Hall

Study hall this semester is be· · ing run on a "college training" basis. Some new rules have been put into effect, and reference material has been installed, along with a conference table. Study hall, says William Bogar, L.H.S. principal, has one main purpose, and that is to give students preparing for college a chancu to study indiyidually in an atmosphere similar to that of a university hall. Many chanres have taken place. No one may speak without the teachers permission. After being granted permission to talk to someone for the allotted time, the person that has requested this privilege must stand by the desk of the person to whom he is speaking.

In order that a book, magazine or paper .nay be read, it must be checked out by one of the as· sistants and checked in ·when returned. This has proven to be of great value to the afternoon classes because the material is still readable a11d in one piece.

In one corner of the study hall there has been placed a conference table. This table is :for the use of a group of students wish• jng to acquire information on assignments or other data pertaining to specific classes. For students needing to do research on some subject or look xor information on an item, reference material has been added.

To date all of thi s material ordered is no · available, although it is reported that in the near :future the reference file will be completed.

· The complete file will consistof four sets of "Americana Encyclopedia," two sets of "World Book " one "Compton's Pic tured Enc yclopedia," 20 dictionaries of different kinds, and "Who's Who in America." There will also be eight Ra nd M cNa lly atlasses and world map of the week More material will be added during the rest of the y ear, according to Mr. Bogar:

Writers Club Boasts Famous Graduates in .34-Year History

" On the twentieth of December, in 1917, a small group of students, who were at that time attending a great house of learning, Lincoln High School, banded together to form a society.

Tt)is society, which has endured the stress of two World Wars and a depression, is still carrying on its activities in Lincoln High. It carries the name given it by that first hardy group of pioneers, of the Writers Club. The Writers Club was created almost out of necessity, because it was in the fall of 1917 that the school system clamped down on exclus ive orga nizations in Lincoln schools. E ' or want of something to do, this spirited throng combined themselves into a compact group.

The purpose of this society was to encoura ge creative writing by students and to read and discuss ea ch other's work.

Members of the first Writers Club were not, as you may sup · pose, a few pansy-picking pantywaists. Nay, br other, th ey h ad as much life ,and vim and whatever

Student Finds Angle For Receiving Money

Dear Mom,

I bet you're wondering why I've written twice this month. You've probably already guessed that I need some more money. But this time I'm not going to squander it on mere trifles; I'm going to buy a 1951-1952 Links (in case you don't already know, this is the school annual.) It costs only $3.50 and there is more entertainment in this one book than in anything else you can buy for that amount of money. It's really a bargain. All my friends' pictures and many others will be in it. It also has pictures of different activities in which we participate at Lincoln High. '

Many kids have already promised one of the 22 salesmen that they will buy their Links from them. I'd like to get my promise in before it's too late, so please send $3.50 as soon as possible. Believe me, it's really worth it.

Students Receive V alriable Training From Fire Drills

For many years Lincoln High has been practicing the evacuation of the building in case of fire. These drills are held frequently for the students' benefit; also because they are a state law.

- In our most recent drill of February 7, the usual amount of slowpokes stayed side the building, figuring, "Why should I walk clear out there just to turn around and come in again?"

Do we realize that we are endangering not only our own lives but those of some of the teachers as well? For as long as students try to sneak out of fire drills teachers will have to remain behind and try to prevent these people from losing their lives should there really be a fire.

The school as a isjudged by the fire department on the amount of time it takes to completely empty the building ,the manner in which this is done, and how far the people move away .from the building.

One of th e main drawbacks in our school is the fron rail on the west si de of the building. This rail has proven to be quite a t empting place to rest during a fire drill.

Lincoln High is one of the largest schools in the state.

Let's see if we can make it one of the safest,

Ticket Collectors Hear Pleas 1 And Excuses Of Students J

"Hey, Vicky, are you going to the game tonight?"

"No, I don't think I can. Why?"

"Well, I forgot to get an activity ticket this semester and I'm broke, so I wondered if I could use yours tonight."

"Sure, Janie, anything for a buddy."

''I don't think the teacher who takes tickets will mind I had him for English last semester. He's a good Jo e.'"

But our little girl had quite a surprise. The "good Joe" had to do his duty. The results- Vickey's activity ticket was taken and Janie didn't see the game.

Her friend, Maggie, forgot her activity · ticket. She, like others, pleaded with the ticket collector to let her in, saying that she had an activity ticket, but had forgotten to bring it.

But aga in the "good Joe" had to do his duty, and had to reject Maggie's pleas. She, too, didn't see the game.

Remem bering the rules concerning the use of an activity ticket would have helped the girls.

Mr. ·Bogar's speech was the i ntroductory addr ess. He explained, "Democratic leadership sounds like a terrifically involved and complex job, which in some ways it is. In other ways it · is exceedinly simple, and by its very simplicity many times eludes us. It is the simplicity of true humility, h on esty, compassion, and indeed, eve n s y mpathy, that quality ·of being able to put yourself in the ether fellow's skin, instead of h i s shoes, and looking a t, feeling about, and t hi nking as he does " Miriam Willy, a graduate of Lincoln High, was co-charrman of the conferen ce.

Manly of Sleeping in Class Arrives With Signs of Spring

With the coming of spring, a new and exciting pastime has been making Itself known in Lincoln High. Although it is not especially dear to the hearts of teachers, almost every student revels in this new and vigorous sport. 1t is known as "The Manly Art of Sleeping Undetected In Class and How Not to Get Caught."

The flrst way, and most popular, is the "Sleep Because of Acute Fatigue" method. This is usually brought on by, as the name infers, acute fatigue. Acute fatigue may result from lack of sleep or strenuous exercise, although the latter is rather unlikely. Lack of sleep results from working too late, out with the boys, or studying, (pause for bitter laugh).

This type of dozing is preceded by the head of the prospective culprit beginning to jerk, wobble, and

Choir Stages

Performance

Lincoln Hiih School's Senior Choir presented the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, "The Sorcerer," February 29 and March 1, in the L incoln High auditorium.

Love, the theme or the story, became involved whim a love "philter" is given to the villagers. This results in a general m i x up ot lovers that almost proveS' disastrous. When the love potion is taken, within half an hour the first two members of the opposite sex that meet ill fall in love, provided they aren't already married. In this case, the lovers were mismatched. · • Alexis the · son of Sir Marmaduke Poindexter, portrayed by Warren Schwabauer, and Aline, the rui.uJ;lhter of Lady Sangazure, played by Bette Clark, are in love at the beginning of the story, and are betrothed by the village notary, who is Rodney Warren Ofold, Sir Marmaduke and Lady Sangazure were also in love Constance Partlet, a village girl played by Pat Pauley, is unhappily in love with Doctor Daly, the village vicar, played by Jim Taylor. He thinks only of the bygone days when " time was when love and I were well acquainted" and is completely unaware of Constance's passion, even after Constance's mother' s futile attempts to subtly inform him 6f her love. Mrs Partlet h e rself is also secretly in love, but with the notary. Alexis and Aline are back together and Sir Marmaduke and Lady Sangrazure find each other.

finally either plunging downward on the desk or rolling backward with the mouth wide open and the eyes glazed. This has a particularly nauseating effect on any innocent bystander who might chance to see him The second method is the "Falling Asleep Because of Acute Boredom" method. The subject is just too bored to stay awake.

The last, and by far most clever method, is the "Why Certainly I Am Awake, Miss Brown I Always Close My Eyes and Snore When I Am Concentrating" method The main idea of this method is to put on the front that you are listening intently, but just resting your head on your desk to keep from overexerting yourself. It is also a good idea to pile your books up as high as you can so your head is a respectable distance from the desk top. The main obstacle to sleeping m class is the teacher. Some teachers believe that it is not the acceptable thing to take class time for sleep. If you ever have the extreme bad luck to get caught, you will be sent to the principal's office. The only way to catch your forty winks in class is to do it on the sly and when you are most likely not to be noticed Good times are when a train is going by, a bell rings, or the teacher is out of the room. Fire drills are not recommended because there is the chance of getting fricasseed. So, if you are fond of adventure, excitement, and above all, plenty of sleep, then join the happy legions of our merry band and SLEEP.

Remember, -if you are a sleep • • .er, sitti ng 1n class some fine day and hear the beautiful strains of "And So To Sleep Again" wafting through the air, you can be sure that there is not only studyin g going on in your class.

Lincoln High Students Take Exams In N.R.<Y.T.C. Entrance Competition

Tests were held December 8, for boys of certain and a billties to see whether or not they can qualify for the N.RO T.C a ccording to Otto Hackma n, assistant principa l. Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps consists of men studying certain Naval Science subjects a nd who participate i'n drills and cruises which q u ality tonem for :::p·pointm ent as offi cers of the Navy or Marine Corps upon graduation

The N.R.O.T.C. was established in 1926 for the purpose of offering to certain college students the necessary N a val S cience courses required to qualify them for commissions in the Naval Reserve upon grad u ation The mission of the N.R.O .T.C was greatly expanded in 1946 to include the training of career offic ers for the regular Navy.

These two training programs now go h a nd-in-hand, and students enrolled therein are known as_ "contrast" and "regular" students, res pectively. Both classes of students take the same Naval Sci ence courses and drills, and are sub ject to the same privileges and

discipline. They vary widely, however, in the method of selection, th e benefits re cei ve d, the obligations entailed, and the summer cruise required.

Students will normally attend college for four years. While in college they may take any course leadi'ng to a b ac c al aureate or high er degree, except the follo wing: pre -med icine; medicine; preututd.i; dentistry; p re-veterinarian; veterinary medicine ; pre-theological; theology; pharmacy; music and art.

To be .eligible for consideration for r egular

N.R.O.T.C. student · status, a candidate must be a male citi:i:en of th e United States, bet wee n 17 and 21 yea rs of age, un:m arried, in top physical condition · in accordance with the ·standards for midshipmen as set forth ; in the manual of foe medi:cal d ept., and out of high school.

A test is given to show what ability the student h as and where it would b est be used. One must pass this test in order to become a member of the N.R.O.T.C.

"It is the basic concepts and problems of our heritage that we should understand," stated the Superintendent. "We must realize that we acquire freedom through unity. We have discovered that common group prejudices can be destroyed by putting freedom above these diseases of mankind."

Dr. Watkins concluded his talk by stating that we have · appar ently·developed the pest machinery in the world for people to work -at solving ·their own problems. But, Dr. Watkins said, this carries with it an obli ga tion to preserve and transmit ihe freedoms we enjoy. Barry Hammond and Doug Scott presented certificates to the honor students. William B.

Of Study at Test Time

"I'm sorry, John. I just can' t go out tonight. I've got to study for th a t history

There's not much time left before the six weeks grades come out and I have_ to g et good grades this time or my dad will massacre me."

"That's / an right, Joan. I really should study for a test, too. Hey, why don't I come over tC> your house and we can study together "

"I think that's a neat idea. I'll see you in about 15 minutes."

The next day in school, 26 students were struggling madly over a history t est.

Joan and John passed it with a high grade, b•ut Sally, who had gone out the night before, failed it.

When the reports were issued, Sally was mighty surprised to se e a "6" in history

"Why, I did good in eve rything except the last two tests,'' she thought It is surprising how much one test can count up. If Sally would have studied for those tests, she probably would have gotten a grade like Joan.

Remember, our six: weeks reports will be out soon.

Numerous Major Problems Confront Graduating Class

With graduation a coming attraction in the lives of most seniors at Lincoln High , several problems have already arisen concerning this long-awaited event.

One of the main topics for discussion confronting the nearly 450 seniors is the question of what they will be w ea9ng on \

this big occasion.

• A choice is being offered this year as it has been in the past two years, whether the graduating seniors choose to w ear traditional caps and gowns of graduatmg classes or for the girls to wear pastel dresses and the boys, suits, as has been the custom a t Lincoln High. There are many points to consider before making a decision upon this quest ion such as expense, hanaling of the gowns, and the uniform look it would crea te if caps and gowns were chosen.

If you are a member of the senior class and plan on graduating this s pring, it is your problem, for all s e niors will be given the chance to specify their choice by a vote · • within the next we ek.

Which will you choose?

"What tests, Stupid?"

"Since you was on list a s bein' in the upper fourth of our cl as s, I you'd be takin' those Regents Tests."

" Oh, you mean the Regents Examinations. Yes, I signed up to take them but I doubt if I really will. Why , with all the stiff competition to i;:ontend with, I wouldn' t have a chance."

''If I had your brains and a chan ce to try for a $100 scholarship to the U n iversity of Nebraska I sure wouldn't pass it up. You just don't realiz e, Brainy, how lucky you are. After all $100 isn't just chicken feed. Besides, what can you lose ?"

"You've really got something there. Those inspiring words hav e made me wonder if you're not smarter than I thought."

Girl Staters Meet June 3

In order to better acquaint girls with their government, the Amer"' ican Legion Auxiliary is again s.ponsoring Corn h u s k er · Girls' State, June 3-9, 1952, at the University of Nebraska campus, according to Miss Dorcas Weatherby, girls' advisor.

· Girls' Staters must be juniors in high school, in good health and of good character, in the upper half of their class scholastically, and have qualities of leadership.

"\Ve have sent in the application blanks of the applicants from Lincoln High and two girls will be chosen to represent our school," stated Miss Weatherby.

The girls will constitute a myth• ital State government and will abserve at first hand the problems of state and city government. They will elect their own offic;fals, including governor and other state officials, judges, members of a · unicameral legislature and city and county officials, in accordarice with Nebraska law. They organize their own unicameral, where they introduce, argue, and pass bills; apply for, and are appoin t ed to the various positions in state government; conduct court sessions, trying actual cases; set up their city and county government, passing and enforcing ordinances; and visit the State Capitol where each girl receives instruction in the office corresponding to the one she holds in Girls' State.

· :md advisors of ihe various acfa•iti<!s will be state officials, of the University teaching staff, and other prominent who are leaders and experts in the field of government.

The girls, chosen :from all over the state will be housed on the c urnpus. Realizing that this experience may be the ·first time some Girl Staters have seen our campus, the staff trusts that the college atmosphere will instil in many girls a desire to seek higher education after they finish high school.

Leap Year Turnabout Theme -For Rep Dance

"Hey Jean, are you going to the Rep Dance?"

"No, Helen, I haven t been asked."

"But Jean, you don't have to wait until you're asked. This is a year turnabout dance and the girls take the initiative!"

"You mean we buy the tickets and take care of the corsage?"

"Well, you are partly right. You see the corsages don't have to be made of expensive flowers; egg shells, banana peels, anything will do."

"How about the dress; school clothes I suppose?"

"No, you're wrong again, Jean. The girls wear party dresses and the boys wear suits or sport coats.''

'Young Adults' Challenge

'All Eligible Lincoln Voters

Now and then there comes the cry, why can't we vote? When are we really adults?

We are considered adults when we receive driver's license when we are 16, and at 18, they send our boys to fight. Why can't we vote?

A challenge comes to Lincoln High students this month concerning voting. We can't exercise our "X", but students should and can do something equally important. That challenge is to influence the eligible :voters to vote.

· Lincoln High's Modern Problems classes have taken the first step in organizing young people to help with the appeal for people to vote. The d:istribution of handbills house to house m the various precincts' have urged the citizens of Lincoln to become registered voters.

Everyone, whether in a Modern Problems class or not, should get into the act. :Urge your parents and neighbors to realize :the importance of registering. This is your job. If, after the April 1 elections, the per· centage of voters has increased, citizens can congratulate Lincoln's "young adults" on a job well done. Will you meet this challenge and be one of the "young· adu!ts" ?

Spring Finds 'Old Buggies' On the Chase Once More -

Say, you fellas! With spring only two nays away, you probably are seriously thinking about getting those topless, fenderIess; bumperless "old buggies" out of storage and into working condition.

Remember, when taking "Jezebel" or "The Black Bolt" for a spin when the blossomy, balmy w eather is at its peak, there are those who have caught the old "spring fever" and love to just meander about the streets. It would be advisable to go by those little signs which scream out at speedsters "SLOW DOWN."

If you are in the habit of roaring about at lunch time, you will be surprised at the teachers' and students' view point on the subject. Maybe you think the soft purring noise will help the students concentrate on that especially hard unit test If you should be in doubt, ask them-they'll tell you! ! ?

Cheery Bus Drivers Get Gripes From Passengers

Starting off his day's work with a cheery smile and a happy "Good morning!" the bus driver often receives a reply such as -'What's so good about it?"

A little later he politely asks the passengers to "Move to the rear, please. There are more people waiting who are in a hurry to get to work."

"Well, for gosh sakes, we're pack ed in here like sardines already!" is the reply he receives from a stubborn passenger who merely shifts his weight to the opposite foot instead of moving to the back.

"Don't you ever come on time?" is directed at him from a lady who insists she has been waiting for an hour.

Stage Ji tters Occur as Joy Night Nears

With opening night eight days off, -and the dress rehearsal only five days away, Joy Night ;performers enter th eir first stage of jitter s. Doubts and indifference vanish as these entertainers realize that this isn't any dream. Joy Night is almost here and they are in Joy Night!

And so begins the last minute rush. There is a scurry to p olish a few rou gh spots and get costumes in order. Details left .for l ast minute attention now seem like great obstacles. Male can -can danc ers from the boys' skit wish they d work harder on that step. Sophomores that m ade the grade in their first year hope that all of their diligent work pays off, but they, too, have. some misgivings. T o those in this big event for the first time, it\might as well be the first time Joy Night ever happened in Lincoln High.

E very<me, whether they are new to the Lincoln High stage or right at home in front of the ·footlights will have their share of butterflies when the big moment arrives. Soloists and group part icipants, clowps and other talent, will all experience the sensation of one who is about to fall into a pit. At the bottom of this p i t is a herd of lions who roar viciously at the appearance of the performer. As they step out under the ligh ts, however, they will discover that the lions are only their fellow students and the friendly public. Stage hands, li ght operators, and callers fee l the t ension too b u t they are not the victims of this life or dea th situation. The victims only wait and pray while the curtain goes up for the first time on March 27 for a top performance

IHave You Heard? I

Last week most of the books which were review ed and listed were boys' books So this week there are three books about women that will appeal to any girl. The firs l book "The Preside nt's Lady," b y Irving Stone, is a biographical novel about Rachel and Andrew Jackson. It tells of Rachel :first marriage which was brief, stormy, and bitter, about her diff iculties, after fallbg in .love with the young frontier lawyer, Andrew Jackson and in securing a divorce, which was unheard-of on the Kent uckyTen:iessee frontier.

F lnally she was free to marry Andrew The price of this fr eedom was a ch ar ge of adultry by the Virginia l egislature. The details of h er divorce and remarriage be come weapons in the hands of unscrupulous enemies during all her husband's career. Tile second b ook, Maria, The Potter of 'San Ildefonso ," by Alice M arriott, fa the story of Maria Martinez and her husband, Julian, who revived the ancient Pueblo craft ot pottery-making and stiJnulated interest in Southwestern Pueblo pottery among both white pe ople and Indians.

This woman h a s become a l egmd in h er own lifetime The story is about h er life in th e Pu eb lo of San Ildefon so, n ear Santa Fe, New Mexico, an d telling in detail of h er pottery making and experiences with people. The t hird book, "Mother And Que en, The Story of Queen Mar y," by M ari on Crawford, is the story of the life of Queen Mary and the royal family t old through the eyes of "Cra wfie," who has known Queen Mary for 19 ye ars, and was private tutor to "the little princesses."

Where Can You Turn

In Time ·of Disaster?

The rain began at 4 :00 p.m Four inches fell in four hours.

All night it rained and again all day Streams and rivers were swollen. Livestock was swept away.

The people in the low part of town were roused from their homes during the night. Water came up and up, into their basements covered the first floor, ruining furniture, clothing, equipment. In its wake the w ater brought terror, sickness, hunger and despair.

This did not happen in a remote part of the world. It happened here, in our own city, only one short year ago. It could happen again. Somewhere else in this vast country it is happening now, this v ery minute.

Floods, storms, fire and famine! Hurricanes last week killed hundreds in the south; hundreds more were made homeless

Where do the people turn in times of disaster? They turn to the Red Cross-an organization made up of people helping people. To helpless victims of disaster they bring food, shelter, and medical aid. Later on comes the long process of rehabilitatiorirebuilding and repairing the devastated homes, giving the victims a new lease · on life

The Red Cross is you

Let's keep it on the job wherever disaster strikes. Let's keep it on the job-here and abroad-helping servicemen and their families, and aiding in the procurement of life-saving blood. Let's keep it on the job offering services that help improve our community.

Six-Period Day Offers New Opportunities For Studies

This fall will be the event of the sixperiod day in Lincoln High. This change has been considered seriously for some time by school officials and they have decided to try it in Lincoln High.

The new schedule will bring opportunities to students who wish to broaden their study load. It offers chances for new clas ses &nd new courses of study for the students. Most important, it will increase the vaiue of college preparatory curriculums, which have not been too adequate in the past.

Now, the average Lincoln High student sometimes cannot take all the cour ses he wants to. Required subjects take up m any of his hours alid, a result, he i s n ot a ble ! to delve into new fields. The new sch edule will offer a chance for personal expansion in new fields that have not been present here before.

With the extra period, special departments such as the shops, typing, and cla sses that have been over-crowded, will have a chance to make room for more stude nts. Although the new plan will bring diffi· culties at first, such as the problem of adjustment, it Should, in the end, prov e to be & good thing. The chance of extra homework should be balanced by the extra opportunities for study hall and library

All in all, the new program should meet with cooperation and success in Lincoln High.

School Plans Sneak Day

June 2, 3, 4, For Seniors

Four-hundred and fifty seniors will be absent from the halls of L H. S June 2 3, and 4, due to the school administration's plans for a "Sneak Day "

The original idea for a sneak day was for seniors to leave without the faculties' permission or knowledge of the act ; but the idea has changed throughout the years , and along with it some of the thrill of the act.

In a school as large as Lincoln Hig h it ls impossible to plan. any organized a cti vities, so the pupils will be on their own to plan private parties or picnics.

"The faculty is helpless in sponsoring any organized activity," stated William Bogar. ''But the school actually does spon· S?r such senior activities as Coloi:: Day Junior-Senior prom, the school picnic and others.''

Debus, Geier, Shine on. Mound During Baseball Scrimmage

Coach Bill Jensen has been forced to hold most of his four weeks of practice sessions indoors, due to the slight tinge of wintry spring.

Becnuse of the limited space indoors mo s t of the practices have consisted of w arm-up, field i ng practice, pitching practice, ar:id a few games of pepper. Among the 50-60 ba seb all hopefuls out regularly so far the promising diamondmen are Don Erway, and Larry Luhrs at catcher with Dick Geier, Bill Debus, Jerry Schwindt, Norm man and Roger Bottorf making up the pitching end of the batteries In the infield, John Biedeck, Leroy Butherus and Jim Miller look good on the initial sack. Ron W. Johnson on "the hot corner " Jack Cur tis on the keystone, and C W. Perry at shorstop seem to be certain of holding these positions. Roger Maul, Bob Barnett, Dick

Cecil and Ron L. Johnson are showing up well in the outfield.

Coach Jen s en will either form a .reserve ball team or start mural baseball games with the remaining players.

The diamondmen are fortuna te this year for they have received new equipment among which include bases, hats, balls, caps and socks.

Jensen announced last week that a game with Omaha Tech has been scheduled here for May 9.

Lincoln High baseball team played their first intra-squad game of the current season T h e number one unit whipped the number two squad 6-1.

Highlight of the fracas was Don Erway's home run off Dick Gee r Dick Cecil and Ron W. Johnson also collected hits for the winners.

Two hits by Ronnie Ryan was tops for the losers.

JACK PARRIS

What are quarter-milers made off? The answer is long lanky legs, long slender bones, powerful lungs, and a lot of stamina.

Pour these ingredients into one boy and you have Jack Parris, senior letterman on Coach Pfeiff's track crew.

Jack, who ran the 440 la st year, and is a · leading contender again this year; boasts membership on the record-breaking mile relay squad that set a meet record in the district meet at Lincoln.

In his sophomore year, Jack was an end on the sophomore gridiron club, and was a catcher on the ' Sophomore Baseball team.

Jack was one of · the football managers ot this year's State · Championship team.

Jack says of his greatest sports thrills, along with running in the State meet, is sleeping on the floor of the bus for 10 hours, coming home from Scottsbluff with the football team.

Jack's future plans include attending the University of Nebraska, College of Business Administration CHARLIE GIBSON

year on the L.H.S. cinders for Charlie; Last year he was a member of that record-breaking mile relay team. Charlie, who last year boasted a slight edge over teammate Jack Parris running a 53.6 quarter, will have to work hard to beat Jack this year.

"It s beginning debate," answered Tom, a. member of the varsity debate team.

"What s it like?" inquired Jim.

"It's a preparatory course for advanced debate," said Tom. "You learn how to discus s and argue both sides of a national high school debate question. You debate against class members and sometimes there are practice tournaments with beginning debaters from other schools."

"Then next semester comes advanced debate?" asked Jim.

"Yes," said Tom. "That's English 18. In there you set up your case and improve your speaking so you are ready to meet advanced debaters from all over the state. Sometimes the tournaments last several days. We had a lot of fun sta ying in Omaha during the Boy's Invitational Tournament "

"Debate s o u n d s interesting," stated Jim "Say, will it help me

Alma Mater on Monday, April 14, found their attenti'on irresistibly ;;t- , tra c t ed to the steps on the southwe st staircase from first to second floor. For every pair of ascending or descending feet, there was a pair of eyes staring at t h e gay, red, rubbery material that covered the marble steps. This new feature at Lincoln High, installed during the Easter vacation, is less a matter of beauty than of safety, according to William Bogar, principal of Lincoln High. "The old marble steps were so worn," Mr. Bogar said, "that they 1 b e ca me definit ely a hazard. espeT,') : nd girls high heels. This semester, five girls reported falling on those stairs, while one teacher fell twice. Consequently, this inlaid rubber tt'ead has been added to provide traction." Mr Bogar added that this improvement is at present going through a testing period. It is expected that the treads' usefulness and resistance to wear will be demonstrated in the next few months. If they prove successful, the treads will be installed on all staircases in Lincoln High, whose steps are worn.

Cast Gets Set For Assembly

"She Was Only A Farmer's Daughter," an old fashioned melodrama, has been chosen by Mummers for their annual assembly to · be presented in the Lincoln High auditorium, April 29 and 30.

The cast for this one act melo· dram a written by Millard Crosby, was chosen April 4 by the play's director, Max Lien, and rehearsals are now in full swing Mr. Lien satd that at this double assembly, the entrance of Millie Spivens, the heroine, played by Mary Shelledy, should be applauded by the-students, and likewise they should applaud the appearance of Osgood Smithers, the manly hero with a wavery tenor voice, played by Jonn Gray. Then, as the villain, Mulberry Foxhall, alias Ji'm Rogers, enters the scene, the foregoing applause should suddenly turn into sounds of hissing.

Millie, who is born a farmer's daughter, has lon ged for an education. So she goes to the city1 where she becomes a victim of that deep-dyed villian, Mulberry Foxhall, the most despicable scondrel that e v er trod the boards She consents to become his wife in a weak moment when his attentions are forced on her. But Millie finds out from a strange woma n that he is already married anll is laying a trap for her, She returns to the farm, reali:zing the peril of her position, but he follows her to make her life intolerable

Other characters in the cast include Aunt Sally Spivens, suffering with "the asmy," played by Thea Borgmann; Alice Smith, the victim of Mulberry's treacherous s cheme, and the one he intends to marry after Milli'e runs out on him, played by Hannah Rosenberg; and Lydia and Harvy Smith, parents o! Alice, who hear of her predicament and come to help her. Lydia Si:nith is played by Paula Broady, and Harvey Smith by Dick Sloan.

Pepper Constitution

May Get New Face

"It's the best thing to happen in Lincoln High." · "It'll never work."

These seem to be the general comments expressed by students in regard to the proposed revision of the Pepper constitution.

There are two ways to look at this change. Using an unlimited membership, anyone and everyone, if grades and citizenship are acceptable, will have the opportunity to be a Pepper. In the past, membership was obtained by tryouts. If you didn't get .in, you felt you just didn't have anything "on the ball." And yet, many who did · not get "picked" had just as much "get-up-and-go" as many of the ones who were chosen.

On the other side of the situation, however, · the challenge to compete for membership will no longer be felt. In a way it is good to have to compete, for as we go on in life and participate in more activities, we will feel the need to do our best and really show what we have in order to gain prestige and membership in organizations and in society. High school is a good place to find out that everything we want isn't going to be handed to us.

Yet, it seems only fair that every girl in Lincoln High should have the privilege of being a member of an organization that supports athletic events. There is no sound reason for hurting young people unnecessarily. In the past, many girls have been hurt quite badly because they were not "good enough" to be admitted into the club. Whether or not we are in the pep club itself, we can still do our bit to stay behind our school, but the general feelings seems to be that if we can wear the traditional sweater with the emblem and the hat, we are one of the "best" in the school. This of course is not true.

Many times a large group turns out to be sloppy in appearance, and sometimes the yells and performances are not done in uniformity. However, an unlimited member• ship in pep club can have just as much organization as one with only 70 or 80 members if everyone is willing to cooperate to make it so.

Advantages, Hard Work

Come

With Honor Socie ty

"Hey, Sally, did you hear Jackie got cin the National Honor Society?"

"Well, what's so good about that? Don't lots of seniors get on it?" ·

"No, there are many requirements to be in the society. You have to be iri the upper one-fourth of the senior Class and then 15 per cent of this one-fourth are chosen for the Society."

"Do they just pick the ones that they want?"

"Oh no, they judge on the basjs of the student's scholastic rank, inferior and superior ratings, E.C.A. points, and leadership. With the approval of the faculty the students with the highest rating become members of the National Honor Society."

"0h, hut I don't :iee what.'>; so g0od about it."

"There are many advantages First of all it's a great honor to be on tpe society, then it can be used as a good reference after you get out of school."

"Gee, ·I didn't realize it could mean so much."

"Sure, I'm working real hard so that I can be one of the lucky ones next year."

"I guess I'd better get. busy too."

Spring Sports At L.H.S. Need Support Of Students

"The boys are in pretty good shape, huh Sam."

"Yeh Fred, they look pretty good. This should be a good season."

"I sure hope so."

"There's a pretty good crowd today."

''Oh, it's okay for a track meet. They'll be smaller later in the season."

"That won't be so good."

"The crowd doesn't make any difference anyway, does it?" · it does. The fellas will do a lot better · if they know the student body is pulling for them."

"I suppose they would. What keeps people away from track meets, anyway?"

"I guess they give so much support to winter sports that by the time the spring sport seasons come along they've used up all their enthusiasm."

"It's too bad. There's just as much time and effort spent in spring sports as there is in winter sports."

"Right. Spring sports do just as much for Lincoln High as winter sports do."

"Team spirit and school spirit depend on each other. You can't have one without the other."

"Hey Fred, you've got something there."

'Try

to Give Easter Value'

-Rev. Perry

"It does n_ot take a great deal of intelligence to say 'I do not believe,' but to make Easter meaningful in your owri lives, it does matter what you believe."

These words were the keynotes of the sermon delivered by the Reverend C. W. Perry of the First Church of the Nazarene at the annual Lincoln High Easter assembly, April 4.

Baskets of white Easter lilies and snap dragons banked the stage for the Easter address, which was "It Does Matter Matter What You Believe." The choir opened the assembly by singing "Beautiful Savior," a crusader's hymn. Reverend ·P e r r y continued his Easter message saying that wben we study history or work chemistry experiments, we believe what we read because we believe the authority of the text.

"The life of Christ and the miracles which he wrought give evidence of his power and authority," said the Reverend Perry.

Reverend Perry pointed out the necesSity of being sincere but also correct in your belief. "On the cross, Christ paid the price for our redemption-that is to those that believe."

The c'hoir closed the assembly singing "The Resurrection," a Ukranian spiritual.

Career Conferences

Aid Dubious Seniors

Yes the seniors are finally on their ' last lap and will soon be making the big jump from high school to coUeg:. Of their bright and smiling faces win be missed at first but we do hope that in taking this big they make a successful landing in some vocational field and are able to use some of the knowledge and opportunities high school has given them.

Career Day was held this year, on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday m?rn· ings, May 5, 6, and 7. On these mornmgs seniors had a chance to get information and discuss the vocation they are interested in with prominent and 1 women.

Career Day is a very good opportunity to clear up any questions about various vocations.

· Some seniors have been a little dubious about whether or not they are choosing the right vocation or career. · Modern Problems classes have helped them with this problem by giving each student preliminary tests concerning vocations, which determine their individual interest. During these classes numerous discussions have been carried on concerning different vocati9ns and careers.

Foreign Language Courses

Give Unlimited Ailvantages

How many times have we asked ourselves, "Why am I taking a foreign language?"

Most of us have to tax ourselves to find even a glimmering of a reason. To some of us it seems to be a colossal waste of time.

Have we ever tried to reason out the advantages in taking a foreign language?

This is an exceptionaUy good way to further foreign relations. In these fast moving times our world is growing smaUer and thus we come in contact with many foreign people and foreign problems.

Often as a worker for "Uncle Sam," thousands of people are sent to foreign countries. What an advantage it is to know the language of the people living in these foreign countries.

.Also do we ever realize how much fun we have just speaking a phrase or two of a foreign language to our friends and seeing the puzzled expression on their faces because they can't understand what we're saying?

When we go to university there are usually a certain amount of hours of a foreign language required. The m?re _hours we have of a foreign language m high school the less we have to take in university.

All told, a foreign language is one of the most timely and necessary courses we can take. Let's make the most of it while we can!

Ambition Proves Important In Student Essay Contests

"Say Joe, have you be en reading in the ADVOCATE lately about all the essay contests open to high school · "Yeah Jim but that's strictly for bramy kids.''

"Oh, yeah! That's just what too many students think.''

"Well, that's the way it is, isn't it?"

"Of course not. The only r eason why so many students think that way is because they have never bothered to enter any essay contest. It's not so much the brainy students that win, but the ones that are ambitious and who really try. How can you expect to win anything if you are too lazy to even try."

"Yeah! but it seems like the same students win all the essay contests. Doesn't that prove that they're the smartest."

"Not nece ssar ily. But it does prove that they're the most ambitious and are really trying. The same students usually can ' t win an the time anyway, because most people don 't know enough about all the different essay subjects to be able to write an essay about them. There are a lot of essay contests which seem to roll arou nd about this time of year, so why don't you enter at least one."

Maboo-hei to you! It's about time again to put the. pencil into ye ole history book. snap it (there-by breaking the bmding)_ and hibernate for three solid months while recuperating from school.

Reps Procure Stage Props

Four light oak chairs have been purchased for the Lincoln High School stage with money priated from the Student Activity Fund, according to Mrs Ruth Dodge, Home Room Represent· atives sponsor.

"The suggestion for getting better chairs for the stage was presented to the Home Room Representatives by a representative and then to the Student Affairs Committee, who approved the idea," stated Mrs. Dodge

She went on to say that the Home Room Representatives purchased these chairs through David Sell, Assistant Superintendent of Schools in charge of ness affairs. He got the c;hairs which were originally $15.90 each, :for only $12.70 per chair.

On the back o:t the seat of each chair, "L.H.S. Stage" is stencilled. These chairs arrived at Lincoln High April 23 and now are in use on the stage.

"It was suggested that flower stands be purchased also, but it was de cided by the Student Affairs Committe not to purchase these this year. Also, two more chairs for the stage may be bought next year if they are needed," concluded Mrs. Dodge.

Mummer Cast

Stages Play

Sounds of hissing and cheering erupted from the L.H.S. auditorium, April 29 and 30, as the · Mummers presented an old fashioned melodrama entitled ''She was only a Farmer's Daughter."

The plot of the play is centered around the return of Millie Spivins, (Mary Shelledy), from the big city in an attempt to escape the treaeberous clutches of a love pirate, Mulberry Foxhall (Jim Rogers), with whom she became infatuated while in the city.

After Mulberry deceives Millie, the culprit captures the affections of Alice Smith, (Hannah Rosenberg), a wealthy so c i e t y maiden. In an attempt to elope, the pair come across Millie, who is working in Mrs Smither's, (Janet Jenkins), rooming house. Foxhall, in an attempt to ruin Millie's good name, steals Alice's jewels and tries to place the blame on the innocent damsel, but his scheme is foiled by the gallant hero of the episode, Osgood Smithers, (John Gray).

In the final scene, Millie's Aunt Sally, (Thea Borgmann), gives Mulberry a fortune left her by her father.

So per usual, the villain is caught and the hero wins the love of the heroine and everyone lives happily ever after.

The cast of players included Dick Sloan, Mr. Smith; Paula Broady, Mrs. Smith; Janet Jenkins, Mrs. Smithers; John Gray, Osgood Smithers; Jim Rogers, Mulberry Foxhall; Mary Shelledy, Millie Spivins; Thea Borgmann, Sally Spivins; and Hannah Rosenberg, Alice Smith.

Ninety-one Lincoln High Students Participate In Band Under Direction of Lyl.e Welch

Ninety-one sophmores, juniors, and seniors make up the Lincoln High School band, under the direction of Lyle Welch, with thirteen twirlers and one drum majorette completing the group.

Providing the school with music for activities such as basketball and football games is a yearly contribution, while annual assemblies and vesper concerts are the two main school performances of this organization.

Outside activities generally include participation in Band Day, which is sponsored by the University of Nebraska and representation in the State Music Clinic, sponsored by the State Educator's Association.

A WEl!JK S TOUR of the Lincoln Junior High Schools and parades help fill the band's schedule for the year.

Before giving a performance, an extensive amount of time is spent in practice, according to Mr. Welch, director of the band for four years. '4

Over two-thirds of the band do nearly five hoilrs outside practicing, explained Mr. Wekh. He added that many also take private lessons to improve their proficiency.

There are many expenses connected with playing in the band. The private lessons cost approximately $2, plus instrument prices, which may vary from $100 to $700. Twenty-five thousand dollars is the approximate total cost of all the instruments in the Lincoln High band.

UNIFORMS FOR the band cost $75, which the s chool pays, plus the price of hats, ;plumes, and shoes, which the student pays. The twirlers spend about $20 for their own uniforms. In the opinion of Mr Welch, Bernard Nevin, director of the Lincoln High orchestra, and other persons connected with the music department, the Lincoln High band ranks at the top of the high school bands in Nebraska.

"Band leaders from out-state observing the recent vesper concert were very favorably impressed," stated Mr. Welch. L.H.S.

Underclassmen Regret Departure of Seniors

As the school year comes to a close all eyes rest upon the senior class. L.H.S. will be pretty lifeless those last four days as sophomores and juniors roam through almost quiet halls to class.

It won't seem so empty next fall when a fresh crop of shining faces wander in from junior high. But for the time being we'll feel a little lonely. , We'll be missing the dass of '52 for a number of reasons. We'U think of their contributions in school activities and their leadership in student government. We'll remember their achievements and hope to make the most of our days at Lincoln High as they have.

But this isn't what we'll think of most. We'll remember when they helped us work our locker combinations for the first time and pointed out the stairway to fourth floor.

We won't forget bits of helpful advise they've given us. We'll remember the friendly word they're always ready with.

Career Conferences

Encourage Seniors

"Well, the career conferences have i come and gone and I'm none the better for i them. A lot of sound and fury I say. We'd I be just as well off if they stopped them. All 1 they do is take up three perfectly good home I room periods." I

l'I never thought of it that way. What i do you have against them?" 1

"For one thing, I don't think they have much purpose. If a person knows what he wants to do, chances are he'll have done 1 most of his investigating before his senior year. And-"

"Whoa up, there! ' You're assuming that every senior knows what he wants in regard to a vocation. You'd be surprised how tnany kids have really never given their vocation a thought. During the career conferences they had a chance to discover from qualified persons just what would really suit them."

"But if, like I said, they really do know what they want to do."

"Even if they have done some investigating on their own, chances are they've never talked it over with anyone who worked in that field. These were really experienced people, who knew the ins and outs of their jobs."

"Come to think of it, you're right. Auto repairing seemed a lot more real to me after that conference."

"Of course it would. Career Davs are really good things and contribute ·a lot toward preparing seniors for life."

Keen Time Offers Chances For Fun and ·Entertainment

'iSay, Sue, don't forget about the Keen Time dance Friday night. You're going, aren't you?"

"No, thanks, Mary, I don't think I will."

"Why? Oh, well, I'm going with the girls anyway. If you change your mind, let me know."

Are you like Sue? Don't be. Keen Time dances are fun. Mary had the right idea. Even if you don't have a date, come with the girls. There are always lots of kids who don't particularly care to come with a date but come stag.

Since the dances consist of boys and girls from more schools than Lincoln High, they provide a good chance to meet new people and make new friends.

Keen Time is also a good opportunity to have fun at a .low cost. Many times the dances are free, and if there is a charge for them, it isn't very high.

Now there is a limit as to the clothing that should be worn. We all know that at a dance at a ballroom, boys usually wear suits or at least dressy clothes. The requirements for girls are hose and party dresses In order to make Keen Time more informal and comfortable, girls may wear their bobpy socks, but jeans are not permitted. · There are 11 dances after school is out. They are scheduled for June 10, 17, 24, July 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 and August 5, 12, and 19

Math Teacher Goes to Iowa For Meeting

Miss Grace McMahon, mathematics teacher at Lincoln High School, attended the Thirt ieth Anual Meeting of the National Council of Teachers of :Mathematics at Des Moines, Iowa, Thursday, April 17 through Saturday, April 19. The purpose of the N. C. T. M. · is to improve the teaching of mathemetics th r o u g h o u t the United States. Plans are now being made for the winter conference of the organization to be held in Lincoln the last week in December. Ab o u t nine-hundred teachers, from twenty-nine states, including Washington D. C. and Canada, were enrolled at the Des Moines meeting. Miss McMahon stated that :four hundred out of town members are expected at the December meeting in Lincoln.

While in Des Moines, Miss McMahon attended the annual banquet of the N. C. T. M. where Allen Orth of General Motors Inc., Detroit, Michigan, spoke on "Manpower and Mathematics." He discussed the urgent need :for engineers in industry.

Miss McMahon claims that the most interesting part of the convention was meeting people from all parts of the United States. At the banquet, eight to ten people were seated at each of the many small tables. She was sea ted between Dr. John Clark of Columbia University, New York, arid Dr. Rosskopf of Syracuse University. Dr. Clark is the co-author with Dr. Schorling of the plane geometry and algebra textbooks, which we use daily in those subjects, as well as co-author of "Mathematics for the Consumer," "M a t h e m a t i c s in Lif e" and "Learning to Compute." All of t h ese are being used in L. H.. S. mathematics courses. Dr. Cl ark said that Dr. Rosskopf will be his succe ssor beginning in June. Ten tea chers attended the meeting from Nebraska. A resume of the scientific program was given at the Nebraska section of the N. C. T. M. held Saturday, May 3, at the Agricultural C ollege. This may be reproduced in the • n 1athematica •cachcr.s "The most exciting part of the trip was the plane ride,'' said Miss McMahon, "We made the trip in forty-five minutes, while those driving made it in five to six hours."

IHave You Heard? I

This is about the time of year when we all start making our plans for the summer months. Maybe you've decided where you're going already, and maybe you haven't. So if you're among the latter, perhaps you will be able to get some ideas from this. If you've already picked a spot, or if you've decided to en j oy a quiet summer at home, you can fill those spare moments by reading some travel books and magazines. These are interesting as well as enlightening, "Cities of America," by Ge orge Sessions Perry, tells of a magic modern j ourney through Americ a 's big towns.

"Ten American Cities," by Nina Brown Baker, is the history, progress, and contemp orary scene of ten of the best-known cities in the Un ited Boston, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, St. Louis, New Or leans, San Francisco, Sal t Lake City, Seattle, Dallas, and Chicago. There is humor, dramatic excitement and the vivid sense of the growth of our vast country in this book.

Sta.ff of '52 Bids Farewell

"I don't know if I can stand it " sobbed the Advocate staff member, "this being the last issue and all." He buried his head in his hands and ·wept, unashamedly.

"There, there," consoled an editor. "Remember what fun you've had .giving t he students of Lincoln High such a wonderful paper and all that." L i fting h is tear-stained face from his desk, the other said, But what shall I do? I don't know if I can stand being parted from my old pals. 'Oh, death, w here is t hy sting?' "

"YES, THAT'S RIGHT. Anyhow, how can the paper continue existing without us? We being t h e the s ta rs , the anchormen."

"Boy t h e paper next year sure will be terrible without us. I guess the y'll just have to fold up."

"YEH, LOOK AT all those po or simps, trying to write Boy are we better."

At that moment the pleasant revelry was slightly interrupted by the appearance of the adviser. If you two don't get in gear and do something around here, so help me, I'll plow you under."

Disappointments Face High School Students

"I just don't see why she got in and I didn't," sobbed Janie as she stood reading the list of new choir members.

"Don't feel so badly about it,'' confided her friend. "After all it doesn't mean that much."

There will be many in Lincoln High who will ask this same question, now that tryouts have been conducted for most organil&tions and the new members have been announced.

Many will dread going to school in the fall because they didn't "make" such-andIUCh an orga.nization.

Of course it's a disappointment to tryout for a club and not be classified as one of the new members; but we are now old enough to realize that life isn't all "sugar and honey," and there will be many disappointments in our lives.

The judges have a more difficult job than one might imagine. In try-outs there may be 30 to 80 contestants, and the judges can only do their best in picking those :whom they believe are the best.

For the juniors and sophomores there will be other high school years, for the NDion it'a the last. They will realize as they encounter the world that a simple matter like not getting in a club has helped them to be more adult to meet greater difficultleL

So, why be so glum? Haven't you ever heard the old saying, "If you don't succeed at f1rlt, try, try again?"

A.dvocate Members Thank

L.H.S. Teachers, Students

Here we are, finished with this school year!

To moat of the students this means no more schoolwork for three months.

To the members of the Advocate staff this means no more work on the Advocate.

The Adoocate staff wishes to thank all of the teachers and pupils for their cooperation this year, because throughout the year the A.doocate has received many compliments and helpful suggestions for the paper. At the beginning of each semester a campaign was staged to get subscribers for the Adoocate. Homerooms were interrupted many mQrnings for this purpose and then throughout the year for the deliverance of Adoocates. Teachers and pupils alike were very cooperative in having homeroom. interrupted. The .Advocate staff has enjoyed very much putting ·out the Advocate this year and hopes that possibly you have enjoyed reading it.

Summer Vacation Provides Numerous Activities, Jobs

"Oh boy, school's almost out,'' shouted Mary, ''and we'll soon be done with that old grind. Just think, three whole months of nothing qut loafing. I can hardly wait!"

"Hey, wait a. minute there gal! If you mean you're planning on doing nothing all summer, you're going to be awfully bored after the first week of vacation. I'm going to get a jol:I and really make my summer pay off," returned Janice.

How many times have students at Lincoln High repeated this same conversati8n?

How many are like Mary and are planning on wasting away the sutnmer?

If there are any like Mary let's hope they change their attitude bdo:-? it's too fate they have frittered away most of the summer. -· · .,.,

The long summer days With their vitaJfzlng fresli air and sunshine offer a grand opportunity for the improvement of some aport or hobby, or the educational 'experience of a job. Many times during the 1ehool year one is too busy with activities to devote much time to a special interest. ?erhaps some have never held a job. 1ng the summer there's loads of spare time to carry on one or both of these activities. So let's all get busy and set some goal or get a job to work on all summer. Let's reaD.y accomplish something worthwhile thia summer.

These suffering students were mourning the loss of some of their fellows who were gone, gone forever. Maybe, if you are endowed with better-than-average insight and intelligence, you have guessed just who they were mourning. Yes, it's true, they were mourning the loss of their beloved cohorts, their best buddies, their friends in need, their classmates. They were mourning the seniors, away on their senior-days.

HOW DESOLATE the halls were without the cheery presents of the laughing, happy seniors. How empty the classrooms were, without the great minds and peppy answers rocketing from all corners of the room. How empty the cafeteria was, without the seniors laughingly elbowing their way to the front of the line, hurdling tables, throwing :food, and singing congratulations to each and every one.

Girls could be seen walking alone down the halls polishing their "L" pins and sobbing quietly at the loss their hearts must endure. Teachers looked up from i their eyes red from tears, ; mourmng the loss of their friends, who they had kriown for three happy years. ·What tragedy!

BUT, BY NOW, the school has settled down pretty much to normal, barring the hysterical screams that burst out every five minutes or so, followed by hoarse sobbing. It is Wednesday, and the seniors have been gone for more than two days.

To students we've known so well.

To the juniors who are going to take our place

When it's time for our farewell

We wonder what kind of seniors they'll make

In the coming· year of '53

So we say, "Best of luck to all of you," In a way they'll be glad to see.

We'd like to give the cheering word, That we've longed at times to hear;

We'd like to give them the warm handclasp

When never a friend seems near.

We've learned our lesson by sheer hard work,

And we wish we could pass it on
