L.H.S. Stays Cautious

During Polio Season

Take precautions!

These are familiar words, but words not to be forgotten during this dread season of polio.

Many parents thought it was wrong to open school this fall because of the polio situation The school board was advised, however, by the Lincoln-Lancaster County Medical Society1 the State Department of Health, and the Polio Foundation, to open the schools.

There are four main factors for"prevention of polio to be considered both in the home and in school.

First, all restrooms must be regularly inspected and each person should thoroughly wash his hands before each meal.

-Second, all public fountains must be cleaned with a disinfectant each day and especially after a large crowd has used them.

Third, no one should become extremely tired or run down. If you become tired, by all means, rest. Rest periods are being provided in gym classes.

Fourth, general cleanliness should always be observed everywhere you go at all times.

· Lincoln High students can protect themselves and others by practicing these rules, and also by keeping the school grounds and the halls clean.

I Pupils Scare Small

Mouse

I'm a little fat mouse who lives with my 21 brothers and sisters in a small cubbyhole b y the stai!'s at Lin coln High School. We are a happy family grou p as w e scurry around the corridors finding food here and there. As I was rounding the corner by the auto shop a few days ago, I heard a terrible noise by the back door. It was too eai"ly for any Qf the workmen to come, so I pered off thinking nothing of it. The next thing l knew, thousanJs of feet were surrounding me. BOYS AND GIRLS, laughin\', and shouting, some even screanling, were everywhere I looked. And then it dawned on me. Thi s must be the first day of school. My mother once told me about ct. But school shouldn't be like t his ! She told me these boys and girls should be sitting in clasz:1 rooms with their hands folded i.r_ front of them as · the teacher teaches them their lessons. That's school, not all this confusion: BUT AS THE DAYS progress, I .discover that this noise and confusion is a part of school, but il j happens only between classes

I That relieves matters a little bit, but I wish som ebody would tell those 1,700 s tudents to pick :JP their feet a little and walk a b '. t quieter; it disturbs my nap! I

Dick Fogerty: I could see more of the sophomore girls."

Ann Schleiger: "Oh what. I couldn t do with ten minutes!"

I Larry Luhrs:- "Just time enough for a short game of pool."

B arbara Brittin: " I'd w alk around the halls with the girls'."

Teacher Gets Seasickness

"Here we are on dry land" was the way Miss Esther Montgomery,

exchange teacher from Lincoln High School, opened her recent letter to the L.H.S. faculty.

"I still frequently take a wide stance, feeling sure the boat is rocking under me," stated Miss Montgomery.

She said that her ticket got mixed up with the boat company and it was beleived that she had sailed a week before she did.

"Thank goodness, I had my ticket clutched ir> my damp little hand. After much scurrying, I was given a berth in one of the nicest cabins," Miss Montgomery explained.

She said there were some very · interesting passengers on the bo at.

"A French model required an hour and a half each morning for the application of her makeup.

She separated each la sh with a straight pin As the boat was rocking, I was sure she would ram that pin through an eyeball, but she never did," Miss Montgomery said. She told of many of the places she visited. She said she went to "Her Majesty's The atre " and saw a stage play, "The Innocents." She said the seats in England were called "stalls."

She learned how to send a telegram through the post office. She said she thought they did much more in the post office there tha n here in the United States.

"There are only two weeks lef t until school begins," Miss M ontgomery stated.

She explained that she was go- · ing to have a time trying to see anything because the country is ''over-run" with touris ts.

Senior To-Be Moves Away

After a final visit to L.H.S. on September 5, to visit her teacher3 and classmates, Mary Hall, former student, moved to Gowrie, Iowa.

Her departure followed a new app9intment received by her father, Rev. C. P. Hall, a Lutheran mini,ster.

At Gowrie, Mary will attend the consolidated schools. Future plans inclu de the return to Lincoln to attend the University of Nebraska.

Voice Startles

New Students

Three gongs, and then silence!

Suddenl y a deep voiee broke the stillness and boomed forth with startling facts: Everyone in the room stopped his work and listened very carefully to what the 'voice' had to say.

Puzzled, I decided that maybe this strange broadcast was meant for me to hear also, and so I lent nn ear.

Now, it s my second day at L.H.S. and I know that strange voice wasn't a secret police broadcast or a new short-wave transmitter being tested, it was only Lincoln High's sound system that I heard for the first time.

Many pains are taken eac:P ye a r preparing it f or th e coming season. The field is mowed in five-yard sections, first one way and then the other, to bring out the light and dark colored grass.

.E.C.A. Pla1i Encourages Activities

Many pupils may be wondering just what the "E.C.A." point system is and how it

"E.C.A." means Extra Curricular Activities. point system means that a certain number of points is given to each student for each outside activity a:fter school hours in · which he participates. No student may hold more than 14. "E.C.A." points at any one time during a semester. Another rule is that no student may engage in more than four activit ies at one time during a semester.

Drama Team Cast Chosen

ONE REASON for this ·limit of points 'is it insures a st udent more time to devote to each activity. If he was able to engage in. every activity he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to give as much of himself to each individual activity. Another reason is giving every., body more of a chance to be in at least some aetivity which he is interested. If there was no limit to the activities, some students would be in everything they could, leaving no vacancies for anyone else.

"E.C.A." points are based on the amount of time required for each activity. Activities requiring more time would of course have more "E.C.A." points.

STUDENT COUNCIL members are the persons who are in charge of keeping track of every student's "E.C.A." points and a record is kept by the council of the points of every pupil at Lincoln High.

"E.C.A." points foi' the first semester's activities are as

in Lincoln. for a few days.

"I'd like to have her at the party," Joan added "but I suppose she'll have her same Honestly, you'd think she was the second Einstein, by the way she studies."

"Well I'll give it a try, anyway,'' Marge added as' she started to dial Sally's number. Sally answered. "I'd love to come. say Tuesday evening? Oh! How late will the party last?"

"I can't tell you, Sal," quipped Marge. "You know how parties are."

"Couldn't you make it on Friday or Saturday? Then, I wouldn't have to worry about getting up for school the next day."

"Really, Sal! School has just begun. Won't you forget studying for one night, and come?"

"I'm sorry, Marge, but I can' t make it. Wednesday we're having a history test, and I'd like to pass. Next time you plan a party, though, maybe I can accept." And, with that, Sally hung up.

"I told you! It's the same story. She has a test the next day and she thinks she must study for it," Marge explained to Joan.

"You must admit she has a point there," replied Jonn. "Come to think of it, I'm in her history class. Maybe it would be a good idea for me to study, too."

"I did remember my counselor saying to us that it was best to get in the habit of studying right away, instead of waiting till the last minute,'' Marge added.

"And there are always honcir convocations to look forward to," said Joan. "I wonder what it would be like to be on the honor roll."

"Well, there is only one way to find out, you know, and that's to start studying now!"

"Then we'll postpone the party till Friday?" asked Joan.

"I suppose we'd better," added Marge, as she reached for the phone to recall Sally Sophomores To Visit Polls During Coming Election

"Hey Charlie, where are you going in such a hurry?" shouted Bill. However of no avail were Bill's cries for Charlie disappeared toward his problems class, as well as many others also in a decided rush Finally Dean strolled past, also headed for the problems class. "Where are you going?" asked Bill.

"To vote," exclaimed Dean.

"Ha Ha " replied Bill "don' t; tell me you ha;e suddenly become age to vote."

"No, this is strictly on the level. The primary elections are being held for Student Council. One sophomore boy and one sophomore girl are to be selected to belong to the governing body of Lincoln High School " explained Dean. "Aren't you going to vote?"

"When and where is this voting to be done?" inquired Bill.

"September 29 a.ud a.nd October 1 are the dates of the primary election. The general elections will be held on October 8, 9, and 10 AU voting will be done in the problems classes," added Dean. ·

"Well, seems as if it is my duty as a student of L.H.S. to vote,'' concluded Bill.· "I will make it a special point to exercise my "X" tomorrow."

· · · V arioits Clubs Off er Ways Of Becoming Acquainted

Although school has been in process for three weeks , some of the sophomores and newcomers are still in a daze · of bewilderment, and Lincoln High hasn't really had a chance to get to know them. The y haven't become very well acquainted with Lincoln High or the many activities that L H.S offers. ·

One of the best ways to really get acquainted with L H S., is to join some of the various clubs.

By joining a club you not only become more friendly toward Lincoln High, but you also meet other students with the same interests as your own.

So why not try to get acquainted with our school through clubs and activities.

You ll be glad you did.

'Assembly Guest Speakers Deserve Undivided Attention

Each year we at Lincoln High are privileged to have notable persons ·speak to us in assemblies.

These persons give of their time and ability in planning speeches to present t o us. It is rather disrespectful for a speaker to be greeted by chattering students with open books and papers b efore them. How about l etting our g uests know we really appreciate the time they give to make our assemblies enjoyable

Varied Announcements List School .L4ctivities

Take notice!

There are three very important items m L.H S. that practically s_hout these words at you. Have you ever missed a club meeting or an important event you wanted to attend but didn't know the exact date?

Here are the answers to your problem.

One is the Links Log. In every issue of the Advocate is this list of coming events in L.H.S., such as club games, plays, etc., with the on. these are held. This information is given for the two weeks following the publication of each Advocate issue

Another help is the bulletin board just outside the office, which lists the names of the clubs holding meetings on the days of the current week.

If you have lost your Advocate and are avoiding the office for some reason, ¥0.u can still keep up to date on school activities by listening carefully to the announcements over sound each morning. On Mondays the week's most important activities are announced and every morning the day's events are given.

So, kids, take notice of these "reminders" and you won't miss things. The announcements are especially for you.

Plays

Hold Important Part In Sc.hool Life of .Students

"Cliff, are you going to the Mummers' play?" asked Marti, as they walked down the hall to algebra class.

"No" answered Cliff. "Plays are only ' t " 'sissy' stuff. I wouldn't be seen a one.

· "Why don't you · get 8: that night? The play will be somethmg from a usual show," questioned Marti.

"Nah anyway, that's more than three weeks responded Cliff.

"You could double with Jean and me, maybe even triple with Jack and Betty. think they have already planned to go, followed Marti.

"I think I'm busy the Saturday night of the play so I'll have to say no," Cliff said, sharply.

"The play is also on Friday night Cliff, that's when we are planning to go,'' spoke Marti, quickly. "Why don't you ask Ann sometime this week so you will be sure of having a date."

"Well, all right," stated Cliff, grumpily, "since the play is also Friday night, I will get a date. This way I can still carry through with my other plans on Saturday night."

· "That's fine,'' Marti enthusiastically bellowed, "we'll make complete arrangements later. You get a hold of Ami and then talk to me. We really will have fun."

'.'I'll talk to you later Marti. In the mean· time, I'll tell the other guys and encourage them to get dates too,'' replied Cl\ff, as they entered the class.

Closed Halls Necessary

All Through

Lunch Shifts

"This hall is closed."

Does this sound familiar? Maybe during your lunch hour you have tried to go to your locker or get a drink, and a hall guard has said this to you. Closed halls are necessary at Lincoln High at noon because of the different lunch shifts. Some classes are still in session while you are having your lunch hour, and concentration and study are impossible with a lot of confusion in the hall outside your classroom.

Next time you start to ·enter a hall, and a hall guard says to you, "This hall is closed,'' turn around politely instead of charging right on through. And remember, the hall guards are doing their duty, and, even if they are one of our best friends, they can't grant us special privileges.

Football Team Gets Good

Backing In Games So Far \

· Every organization and activity must have backing. Every Broadway show needs financial backing before it can ever see a stage. So must our football team have backing.

In an article written by the sports editor of the Omaha Central High Register, he hopped upon Central's cheering section for not yelling Although it was raining, the Lincoln High cheering section could be heard practically all of the time. At Beatrice the entire L.H.S. side was full and many people had to stand.

The football team deserves such fine support so let's keep up the good work the rest of the season.

He has no build at all.

He doesn't have those pearly teeth,

His hair is straight as sticks.

And as for personality, He is as flat as bricks.

But, now yo'u must remember-

It isn't what you want, it's what 'you "Git"!'

Last Minzite For Study Unadvisable

Have you noticed the girl in the seat in the corner of study hall who has been so sleepy this past week?

This is "Sally-cram at the minute." She is a ·happy-go-lucky , girl who likes to spend her time talking on the phone instead of taking a book home.

At .the beginning of school Sally began taking every lesson home, but the effort was wasted in a few short days .because up until now, her locker has been filled w'ith French, English, history, and math books untouched overnight.

STUDYING IS her. main pastime these last few days before the end of the six weeks. She says she s been keeping "the oil in her , lamp in the attic" · burning until the wee hours of the morning. Her history teacher requires three maps qf the "progress of democracy" turned in , by next Friday, She's also supposed to have read two books, write two themes, and take a diagramming t est in her English class by October 10, the end of the six we,ek:; "Oh, if I'd only started doing all those things at the beginning of school, instead of piling everything up for the last minute !" Sally wailed "My eyes have been closed too long. The next six weeks are going to be different, and there will be some studying done," sally resolved.

As Links Again

Under great determination and Lincoln High, showing the polish of last year's state champions, walloped their crciss-tewn rivals, Northeast, 33-0, in the most decisive w'in in the two school's 12•year rivalry. Don Erway, 174-pound versatile backfield stalwart, led the way for the Links as he tossed three per fect touchdown strikes and· later showed his. running ability by galloping 55 yards against a bewildered Rocket team.

THE FIRST of Erway's thi;ee for three aerial efforts was a 25yard bullet to End Bob Barnett for the Links first T D The second was a lobber to Leroy Butherus from 12 yards out -for another tally. The thiid was a 25-yard heave to Barnett for the last of three fir st-half scores. Dick McWilliams, outstanding offensive .and defensive player, plunged for all three of the Links first half P.A.T.'s to make it 21-0 at h alftime

Erway carried most of the rushing load thrpughout the game. King, who is usually a break-

·more or less used

a decoy to throw the defense · ciff although he made mariy imp()rtant gains, giving the go-ahead to Erway and McWilii;lms.

The Link's final. was set up by a pass from McWilliams to Barnett 'f or nine yards. On the next play McWilliams : broke through the middle for a T.D.

THE CONTEST w a s mucll closer than the lopsi ded score dicated Each tearn was for ced to punt seven times. Several of Northeast's "quick kicks" were blocked by a hard charging Red and Black lin e w h ich held the Rockets to 11 net yards rushing.

The Links wound up with 228 net yards rushing Late in the game, Dick Dinges, Lincoln star t ing tackle, was sidelined with a severe knee injury. The ex tent of h is injury is undet ermined.

Halloween

At -the meeting of the Student Council Thursday, Octob er 16; the following Halloween Pledge was approved:

The members of the Student Council of Lincoln High School have, for a number of years; attempted by precept example, io eliminate from the celebration of Halloween any activities that are not in the best public interest. The present Student Council feels that these efforts ha ve been effective. The celebration of Halloween, so far as tlie high school pupils of Lincoln are concerned, has become the occasion of small parties in · private h omes with normal precautions for safety in effect. arain wish to go on record as favoring that type of celebration, and we · urge. all pupils of Lincoln. High S chool to join with us in a resolution to refrain from any Halloween activity which destroys property, either public or private, or endangers the safety of any person. Since the practfoe of knocking at doors and asking for hand-outs can become a public nuisance when engaged in by t enn-a gers we suggest that hi gh school pupils leave such behavior to the ver y small children in our community. This p u blic statement on our attitude t oward the observance of Halloween is made by the Student Council ·of Lincoln High School i n the hope that all pupils of the school will cooperate in helping to make the observance ot Hal"loween an occasion for demonstrating to the· citizens of Lincoln our own good

Blore Speaks At Convention

For Links By Nov. 15

Attention seniors! Does November 15 ring a bell?

No it isn't that big party over at Jane's nor that special date you've been looking forward to for so long, but instead, it's the date that your glossy print must be turned into the Links' office.

You probably t hink , "Aw, it's a long way away. I'll wait till later cause my hair doesn 't look quite right this week," or "I just have to stay till 5 o clock every night to watch football practice , and there isn ' t time after that, but of course there's always next week."

There's just a few more "next weeks" left though, and n one of you seniors want just a blank spot in the Links where your picture was supposed to be. You want to be right in there with the rest of them

The Links s taff appreciates h a ving all pictures in on time, so they can arrange the annual accordingly.

Safety First After Football I Games Proves Worthwhile

L. H. S. had come out on top again, this time against the town rival, and when the gun had gone off ending the game, fans stood beating each other on the back, crushing hats, and screaming at the top of their voices, or else they stood by silently with tears of sadness.

As the crowd squeezed out of the stadium, the excitement began to die down in the adults, but it was just beginning for the teen-agers. Hundreds of cars, piled full with kids, roared away from the oval toward the business district or the dance, while others made their way on foot.

Immediately the downtown streets were filled with speeding cars with blaring horns and kids yelling and singing. The outnumbered police were helpless and the pedestrians kept safely to the sidewalks.

The teen-agers had lots of fun after the game that night. However, two girls didn' t reach their destination. Instead, they ended up at the hospital. Tpey were struck by an automobile when they darted across the street amid the heavytraffic.

When parents l).eard the sirens that night, how many must have wondered if it was their John or their Jane that could have been hurt in an accident.

Friday night our team plays again, and perhaps very few will notice the two less fans in the crowd, but remember, unless you're extremely careful, next time it may be YOU.

Hi Kids!

We love the paper ; we think it's swell;

When it comes out, we run pell mell;

We get our copies and read each line.

The stories and columns we think are fine.

We laugh at the jokes, we read all the ads.

We read the news and take up the fads.

When we praise the paper, we scorn those who laugh.

We're really roost loyal-WE'RE ON THE STAFF!

Difference between love and life:

Life is just one fool thing after another.

Love is just two fool things after each other.

Jill as "they pass a popcorn stand: "M·ro-m, doesn ' t that popcorn smell wonderful?"

Bill : "Sure does! Would you like to step inside? It probably smells stronger there "

She : "Do you mind if I snap off the lights? I freckle easily."

What a nice place This school would be If I loved others L ike I love me.

Senior Boy: "I'm burning with a love for you."

Senior Girl: "Oh, don't make · a fuel of yourself "

Teacher: Paul, spell this word, "Little."

Paul: L-1-T-T-L-E.

Teacher: No , no, Paul. You should say, "L-1 double T-L-E." Never say "T-T " Always say, " double" instead- of repeating the way you did.

Paul: Yeah, I see now.

Teacher: Fine! Now, just one more thing before you sit down. Repeat this poem : "Up up, my love, the sun is shining. "

Paul : "Double up my love, the sun is shining."

Safe Halloween Desired; 'Tricks' Strictly Juvenile ' A fella's thoughts on a goodnight kiss :

"Tricks or treats?"

Halloween, like every other holiday, has familiar symbols and sayings to go with it. Witches on brooms , pumpkins turned into jac k-o-lanter ns, e vil of black c ats snd of course the phrase:-"tricks or treats. "

This phrase is not just a phrase; it is put into use by both the younger tots and older ones. The younger ones put into action the treats and the older ones the tricks

What else can little brother and sister do to have fun for Halloween ex cept go calling for tricks or treats? What damage can they do if they receive no treats? Their imaginations might be just as a s big brother's and sister's, but to do damage is not what results from their imaginations.

Big brother's and sister's imaginations can result in damage. How can they advance from the trick stage and thus prevent much Halloween damage?

Big brother and sister could invite all the gang over for just an informal get-to-gether to listen to the Lincoln-Alliance football ga?1e, watch T. V., and have lots of good thmgs to eat Here's a good holiday for a party and it will prevent some damage that comes with tricks and treats.

Will this Halloween bring tricks or treats? · Jim Discovers Importance Of Keeping Locker Locked

"My book's gone!" crys an unfortunate student searching frantically through his locker ·

"I'd sure like to find the guy who's to blame for this," moans Jim.

What Jim doesn't realize is that he has only himself to blame. This would never have happened had he kept his locker locked and the combination a secret.

Books, coats and other valuables are safe as long as the lockers are properly locked and only you know the combination, but as soon as anyone else knows your combination, your things are no longer safe. So remember, don't be like Jim , safe-guard your property by always locking your locker and let that combination be strictly your secret.

I love the girls who will

I like the girls who don 't I hate the girls who say they will, And then deCide they won't.

But the girl I love the best of aU

And I think you'll see I'm right

Is t h e on e >vh n s ay;:; d o es n t.,

But just for ine she might

Sometimes the dew in a girl's eyes turns out to be don ' t.

There once was a maiden of Siam, Who said to her lover, young Kiam

"If you kiss me, of course, You will have to use force ,

But you know you're stronger than I am. "

Bobbie: "Did your watch stop when it dropped on the floor?"

Dean: "Sure, did you think it would go 'through ?" I love him I hate him I wish him would die; Him told me Him loved me Darn him Him lie.

"Why do you suppose there are fewer train accidents than there are automobile accidents?" "Well, I guess maybe it 's because the engineer isn't in the habit of hugging the fireman "

Students Help

Make Halloween Safe

Speaking of votes, a vote of thanks and appreciation can be given to the students of Lincoln High School, who have helped to make this year's Halloween safe and sane.

In answer to the Student Council's request for their cooperation in keeping property safe in Lincoln, the students of L.H.S. have shown that they are responsible citizens and able to help in this Holloween safety campaign. Leaving "tricks or treats" to the small children, many of the L H S. students stayed at home to listen to the LincolnAlliance football game. M:any others attended theMummers Play, "Arsenic and Old Lace," which was appropriately given on Halloween, and afterwards went to the midnight "Spook" shows or attended private parties at the homes of their friends, where they spent safe but pleasant evenings, playing the traditional Halloween games, dancing, or perhaps watching T.V. Keen Time added enjoyment to many a Lincoln teen-ager's evening

Small children's "tricks or treats" is cute -if you're a small child-but the sort of fun that L H.S. students enjoyed while "acting their age" hurt no one and resulted in the desired "safe and sane" Halloween.

Future L.H.S. Students Will Appreciate Clean Lockers

A locker in the halls of L H.S. measures only 6' by 1' and will not expand to a greater capacity. Are the of those who stuff everythmg immagmable into the locker, then bang the door shut, hoping that when it is opened again, nothing will fall out?

Or maybe they' ve heard the familiar saying, "Mary, I've just got to have a place to dump m.y books. You won't care if I put them in your locker, will you?" · Thus another locker becomes the victim of circumstance. Mary's friend didn't stop to remember that the locker is probably already full with Mary's belongings. There are people who just can't resist the temptation to scratch their initials on public property. The lockers at Lincoln High will be used for some time and certainly the students in the years to come would appreciate neat looking lockers, minus the etchings, pictures and initials.

If everyone would co-operate in -keeping their own locker from being cluttered and untidy, the looks of Lincoln High would be improved also.

Golden Egg Fable Pertains

To Present-time Persons

A farmer went to the nest of his goose to see whether she had laid an egg. To his surprise he found, instead of an ·ordinary goose egg, an egg of solid gold. He seized the golden egg and rushed to the house in great excitemep.t to show it to his wife. Everyday thereafter the goose laid an egg of pure gold. But as the farmer grew rich he grew greedy. And thinking that if he killed the goose he could have all her treasure at once , he cut her open, only to find nothing at alL

This is a fable by Aesop. The moral of the fable is, "The greedy who want more lose all."

If the farmer had not been so greedy he would have become richer, as some of us, too , if we were not so greedy would become richer. Not with golden eggs maybe , but with the many things in life that are more valuable than golden eggs.

V p and Down Signs on Stairs

Must Be Obeyed by Pupils

When people see a stop sign, they don't just slow down, do they? Or when they see a sign saying "don't pass on hills or curves ," they don't start doing it, do they? Or how about a "construction zone-slow down" sign-they don't speed up do they ? If these signs are all obeyed then it seems that the "up and down" signs on the stairs should also be obeyed. · If this is not done, just think of the mad scramble of students going both up and down 'both sides of the stairs

Good Sportsmanship

"We

Congratulations are in order to the team, the coaches, the Peppers ,and A combination of these brought the victories. They had the coach, they had the team, they had the pep, and so they put on the steam. And there was enough steam put on to pull them through the season with the state football championship right with them. · What good would the team have been without the coach, the coach. without the spirit, the pep squad without something to make them yell?

Victory was the cry, and victory is what they got. Victory with more than JUst. more · points scored than the other team-victory with sportmanship, good conduct, and school spirit. · With the end of one sport season comes the beginning of another.

Luehr

Reminds Students

Not to Throw Gum in Hall

The reason people don't throw · around the house is because of consideration for others. Also students don't monopolize the family car because of tion for others. One person doesn't use the telephone constantly because of consideration for others.

Nor do Lincoln High pupils chew gum and throw it in the halls or in because of consideration for others, especially the custodian.

Albert Luehr, Lincoln High School head custodian, is worried about the chewing gum situation at Lincoln High.

It seems the students have beer : throwing gum anywhere they. 'hrowing it lately, instead of depos1tmg it m t ie waste baskets where it belongs.

Mr. Luehr said that he has nothing · against gum chewing, as long as he gum is disposed of in the proper way.

Some of the classrooms here ir Lincoln High have cork floors, and when gi m is removed from these floors, holes a1 left in the cork.

·

The only way the gum can be from the marble floors is with' a pui :y knife. This makes twice as much work for the custodian.

Why not make less work for t: e custodian, and throw gum in waste pa per iaskets ?

Lincoln High Clubs

Need Pupil Support

"I don't think I'll go to the club meeting tonight, I have to go down town anyway," is a familiar quotation around the halls of Lincoln High School.

"Mary is going anyway, and besides this is just the second time I've missed," pupils say. Has anyone ever stopped to think that if everybody said that, what would happen to the clubs sooner or later?

Clubs were organized for a purpose.

Pupils who are interested in the same thing have a chance to get together and plan and do certain things that they like.

Some students have been led to believe that the only reason for having clubs is to get their picture and name in the yearbook.

Clubs were organized for the students. They're the ones that make clubs interesting and fun.

Some pupils say when asked if they don't want to skip club meeting, "It will only take a little while, then we can go down town, okay?"

Urging more pupils to take this attitude toward after school organizations would make the clubs lots more successful and lots rnore fun.

White Mouse Fools L.H.S.

Almost everyo1e knows what mice are, but for the benefit of those who don't, \hey are greyish· brown members of the rodent family, about stx inches long, including their tails. But in Room 401, there are two exceptions to these.

1. This particular m o u s e is white

2. It's a very unusual mouse

Most mice go through life with just one purpose in mind, namely to make life miserable for human beings. They get into everything, eat all available food, and after someo11e in particular breaks his fingers setting traps for them, they get away, unharmed, with the cheese ·after all.

"Mickey" Now "Minnie"

Whether this mouse has all these things in mind has so far been undetermined, but one thing is certajll. It enjoys confusing people and does this rather well.

During the' early part of Septhe sign to its cage said "Mickey." A few weeks later, the sign had been changed to "Minnie." Not satisfied with this, Minnie d e c i d e d that :further changes needed. The sign now states, "Minnie and family."

Three times on the honor roll just about sums up MARVIN BRESLOW'S talented scholastic record while at Lincoin High. He has taken an acti v e part in all phases of life. Being editor of the "Scribe" for two years, and secretary of the Writers Club, gives Marvin a good background for the writing career he may some day enter. He is a member of Mumbers, Debate Club, and Rostrum Club. While a junior, Marv had a lead in the Junior Play, "Horne Sweet Homicide," and this year he was in "Arsenic and Old Lace." Also in his junior year Marv went to Boys State, where he was elected a senator. He plans to attend the University of Nebraska.

Athough held back by the rules governing pupils trying to join clubs at mid-year, Joy still made her mark by getting straight "l's" and making the honor roll This year Joy is a member of Orpheons, Mummers, Peppers, a Links staff member, and on the assembly committee. She could have been seen the last few weeks running about downtown at the radio stations and writ ing advertisements on L.H.S blackboards advertising the Mummers pl:ay, "Arsenic and Old La ce."

Hello You'ns, This week seems crowded with rather unusual events. Now that football is over other activities are taking all our time Speaking of the unusual, last week-end was a perfect example of it! Heard of going-ans that never occur any other time during the year. Girls cooked fancy dinners for the fellows or treated them to dinner out and a show. Then, too, Saturday night, it seemed as tho' most of the girls were driving, picking up their dates and taking them home. Of course you know the occasion, Sadie Hawk ins D11y (naturally)! Just a few of the gals and the fellows they treated were Georgann Embry and Dick Stall, Norma Reed and Bruce White, )iartha Anderson and Doug Scott. ' And who were the three junior girls that got real ambitious and cooked a large dinner, all by themselves, too? (Sounds like thi! boys had a fine feast). Well now, 1 just remembered some more couples who were "whooping it up" last Saturday night. There seemed to be some doubt as to just when Sadie Hawkins Day should be, but from what I heard, either the 15th or 29th is all right, ( especially for the lu<!ky guy who gets asked out both times). Anyway, to mention th e ciates. Seen together were Kay Perrin and Dick Norton, Joyce Miller and Dick Bacon ('52 Grad), Roma Leichner and Gor don Metcalf (NU) Sandra Schlaebitz and Tim Taber, and Martha Danielson and Paul Schoor. People were also gadding about to the Homecoming Dance, hayrack rides, and what-have-'you thi s past week. Other dates lately have included, Courtney Nelson and Denny Curtain (which is a steady deal now), Carolyn Carter and Dick Skold, and Colleen Ohslund and Russ Neilsen (who are also calling it steady). I know six girls are going to be very happy this week when the names of the Apprentice Cheerleaders are told. Congrats to you chosen! Almost forgot, but congratulations are also due to the cast of the Senior Play. I know you'll giv'e a wonderful presentation. Guess I've lost my gift for gab! Bye, Sandra.

Today I am wearing my Bobbie Brooks long-sleeved pullover sweater. It comes in mimy colors and is yours for $6 95 at Simon's Young World Shop.

Movies Big Attraction

As the winter season rolls around once again, the feature entertainment at L H.S. during the lunch periods will be the movies. Soon, the cold weather will b e unsuitable for students to wander leisurely around the school grounds. If these students don't know how to spend their lunch periods, they can go into the auditorium and enjoy a good movie.

The movies that are shown vary from humorous to human interest movies. Th e students can enjoy all this entertainment each day for just two c ents; the price of a t icket. With the money they spend to buy their movie tick ets, they not only buy th emselves some wonderful entertainment, but the y are also h elpin g the D ebate Club in promoting debate trips, beca use the proceeds from the ticket sales go into the D eb ate Club treasury.

Ode to Basketball

I ju st can't stand basketball guys,

They think they're so doggone wise,

But when it comes to home wo rk

That's the place they really shirk

They neve r stu dy any m ore,

br call f or y ou at t he d oor.

Their excus e is this, th ey claim,

They're "too tired from t h e game!"

They think basketball, th e y breathe the stuff, They talk basket ball, I'v e had enough!

They grab you like you were the ball,

And believ e me tha,t ain't all!

They used to hold your hand so sweet,

Now they gr ind it into meat

They have to be in bed by ·ten,

Like they were kids i n stead of men.

Coach says, "You girls are fine,

But stay away from those boys of mine!

No holding hands in the halls,

Or after ten o'clock phone calls!

"Boys, he hollers, whip in han d,

Stay clear of t h e fem ale band! go out with them and roam ,

Better keep yourself at home ."

I t e ll y ou girls we j ust can't..,win

It's a basketball world that we re stuck in.

(When they go out of to""'.n to games

They flirt w it h all those foreign dames.)

They shave their heads nearly bald

Fu zz cuts, I think they a re called.

I'll admit they're k inda cute

Who woul dn't be in that nifty suit?

Charlie's horse in ev ery j oint,

We could h ave done without that point

T hen comes the fateiul ni ght again,

Wild h orses couldn't stop our men

And whe n our side h a s t he ball, I y ell the l ou dest of them a ll In my heart one little prayer;

An but ovedooked question was · recently discussed among high school' officials which may well apply to Lincoln High School. It was: · Do intra-mural sports to strengthen or weaken varsity· teams? The feeling is that intra-murals do more to strengthen varsity teams than any other thing. Not orily do · jntra-murals' offer a means of recreation for the boys but add valuable experience and help much in the development of natural skills. Intra-mural activi· tfos offer for the boy who is not quite ready for vars ity play, a means of competitive te'.lm play. in Lincoln High School athletes do not actually get a chance to until the tenth grade. In almost all other schools in the state, or in the country, boys get an early start in sports, as early as the seventh grade boys particiP a t e in competitive athletics. Therefore, it may be said that a Lincoln High boy is from two to three behind in experience compared with the teams that they play, Intra-murals must make up for this.

Officials have just recently awakened to this fact, and mild actions have been taken.,--speaking, of course, of ninth grade football

Barnett and Erway

With the state high school football season at a sure fire clos e , last week came the finaLme n tion of the individual' stars who led their teams through their season, whether successful · or not.

It was the annual ·all-state ·grid selections put out by indiVidual large city news papers. The se i ndividual high school stars have been selected by the coaches and officials, about one thousand in number, on the basis of the individual play of the boys they have seen in action.

The balloting covers every part of - the state so as not to overlook any player. Three boys were repeaters on this year's all-star eleven as compiled by the Lincoln JOURNAL and STAR-two of them were Lincoln High School players. They were Marvin N!!vins, Omaha North tackle, back Ted King, and end Leroy Butherus, both of Lincoln High. Buthcrus and Nevins were also. named as repe '.l ters on the Omaha WORLD HERALD all-sta te team.

King Unanimous Choice · King, Lincoln s third year fir s t string halfback, was a unanimous choice he he was a consistent ground gainer as well as a tricky bre a kaway runner. King, in eight of nine game s carried the ball 104 times, ga ining 849 net yards for a 7.48 yard per carry avetage. Leroy Butherus wa s named as prob a bly the be st defensive end in the state as well a s a good

other wing position on the basis of his all around taclding, block· ing and : pass catching. Barnett signals for the Links' last two years-two state championship teams. Other All"staters Named Along with King, Butherus, and Barnett on the and STAR all·state eleven were t a ckl e s Marv Nevins ot Omaha North and Dick Mangelsen of Grand Island, Guards Jim Murphy of Columbus and Delz.nar Peters of S e ward Center Jim Lemmon of Cambridge and Back s Burdon Daugherty of Hast ings, Jerry Brown of Minden and Don Cornst alk of Scottsbluff G aining first team honors from the lower classes were Lemmon, Peters and Brown. All of the first ele ven were seniors with the e x ception of Brown, a junior. Don Erway, versatile triple threat of the Links offensive at., tack, who sported a fin e kicking and passing record, received fi r st team acclaim on the ASSOCIATED PRESS all-state elev en. Erway also was nam!!d on the JOURNAL-STAR second Three Other Links Honored Ga ining a second team birth on the JOURNAL-STAR selections was "Deacon" Dick McWilliams. "Mac'' was Lincoin•s top flight fullback who always picked up valuable yardage when n eeded. Two Lincoln linemen, guard Larry Kimmel and center Jerry Gilbert w ere named on the Class· A ·honor roll.

Vogeler Upholds Liberty

Capture Told

"Communism may never take over in this country if we, as citizens, stay well-informed," asserted Robert Vogeler, who was held prisoner in Communist Hungary for 17 months, in his · speech on Dec l. He gave an account of his experiences in Hungary, from the time he was captured by secret police at the Austro-Hungarian border until his release 17 months later. Social studies classes in Lincoln High, as well as students from Northeast and Teachers High classes, attended the assembly. Mr. Vogeler throughout his ;;peech encouraged his audience to guard the "traditional American way of life." He explained clearly what it means for a free country to be channeled into the roads of Communism in the short space of two years. Indicted for "espionage and sabotage," Mr. Vogeler was questioned for 70 hours without rest, and then for ten days was confined to a small damp cell with a bright overhead light which burned constantly, He was forced to confess to a series of crimes of which he was innocent, and subjected to a threeday trial, which was, in his own words, a "farce." He was sentenced to 15 years of solitary confinement, and was put into a cell similar to the first one, where he spent the next 141/2 months. During this time, he was forbidden to speak, even to himself.

Boy Receives Gifts

The little boy looked through the iron fence. Inside the fence, children played in the sriow, making snowmen and snowhouses; Tears came to the boy's eyes. He had never played like this before.

Then a hand touched the shoulder of the shabbily dressed boy.

"Are you lost?" asked a kind voice. The little boy shook his head no.

"Then why are you crying?"

The boy looked into the kind eyes and said, "l'm tired and hungry."

"Don't you have a home?"

"No, ma'm, my daddy said I would have to leave because we didn't have enough money after mommy died."

The lady led the little boy through the gate and into the big white house She took him to a room, where he was given clean clothes. Later he sat in a huge dinning room with many children and ate dinner.

Then the children gathered around the big Christmas tree. It was Christmas Eve and each child would have one gift. The lady began to call off names so that the children could come up for their presents. And then the little boy heard his name called.

Dazed he walked to the tree and received his gift. It was a football, the first present he had·ever had.

That night the little boy slept in a clean warm b ed In his prayers, he thanked God for his fortune.

And the little boy says thanks to L.H.S, students, and teachers, too. Thanks for your v e ry kind contributio:rf's.

You see, the boy had been taken in by an orphanage, and your contributions helped to buy the football, his first present.

And please don't eve r forget the little boy He needs yo ur h elp By giv ing gPnerously, your Christmas will be merrier and your heart warmer.

World Affairs Important

"The United States must become an arsenal of democracy."

Thus stated Franklin D. Roo sevelt in January of 1941, almost a year befo re the · fatal day of December 7, 1941. N either Mr. Roosevelt nor perhaps any oth er United States citizen had an y premonitio n of what w as to take place on that day.

When the n ews r eached the public that Pearl Harbor had b een attacked, people were shocked and angry, but above all they realized what a startling effect war has upon U. S. civilians a t home L.H S. seniors during that time were faced with t h e choice of enlistment or "waiting for the draft" after graduation. Other students had fathers, brothers or cousins who already were or would be affected by the news that our country was going to war. They realized that they had bee n totally unprepared for the situation that faced them.

Americans were even less well informed on European events when we entered W orld War I. United St a t es citizens had remained totally oblivious of the strife going on in Europe from 1914 to 1917 Then, suddenly, w e were the mainstay of t h e Allied forces; and were forced to arm ourselves in approximately five months Again in 1950, we recognized the importance of world affairs. In that year, U. S armed force s went into action into Korea. Although th e conflict in Korea w;:i.s on a considerably smaller scale than eith&r of the two world wars, it had a great influence on every-day life in America.

Lincoln Hig h pupils of today still fac e a choice of dra ft or enlistment after graduation. B ut the fact that our country is n ot e n gag ed in open combat tends to reduc e co ncern on our part. It is so easy t9 s ay when we h ear of world disturb a nces: "That doesn't effect m e."

It is as t rue today as when former President Roose v elt said it : not without interest in world affairs on the part of ev ery U. S. citizen can our country become a real 11arsenal of democracy."

Icy 'Snowballs Hurt

With the blustery wintr'y weather comes the great temptation of snowballing. B_oys of all ages delight· in teasing the girls, JU St to hear them yell and make them run.

If they refrain from icy snowballing, danger of hurting someone does not An icy snowball with great force behmd it I may injure someone seriously.

Years ago, there were no cars at which to throw snowballs and no picture windows 1· to be broken. The streets were not crowded with people that could be hurt by snowballs.

Nowadays, snowballing can be a dangerous sport. A snowball thrown through the window of a passing car may cause the driver to lose control of his car and have an accident. Replacing a picture window will prove quite expensive for the snowball thrower.

William Boga;, principal of Lincoln High, has received several reports of Lincoln High students throwing snowballs at cars. Actions such as this are not only dangerous, but they ruin the reputation of Lincoln High School.

If everyone would think twice before throwing a snowball at a moving car or a picture window, they wouldn t throw the snowball.

Percy Forgets Resolutions

According to custom, the holiday season with its bright lights and gay decorations, serves to stimulate thinking in terms of the future. New Year's Resolutions have become !" traditional as the Christmas tree for this time of the year.

The typical resolution-maker lists many items he intends to improve on in the new year. Often this hastily written list soon becomes forgotten and the good intentions are never carried out.

Such was the case of Percy Pupil, a Lincoln High School student. His list of resolutions seemed a ·good idea, at first. After all, he that studying would be essential if he wanted to keep the "4" average. And then Percy had thought of home and all his family problems. Before he knew it, his list contained 38 items. It was mid-January when Percy could no longer remember those New Year's Resolutions.

One might learn from Percy's mistake. New Year's Resolutions should be made with the purpose of carrying them out. Fewer items would aid in achieving this goal.

Why not get the jump-on-the-gun this year, and do that resolving early? December 17 would be a good time to put the project to work!

Fable Applies to Students

Once there was a man who kept a horse and a donkey as beasts of burden. It was his custom to load the donkey until he could barely stagger under the weight, while the horse was allowed to prance along in its fine trappings with a very light load,

As they were proceeding along the road one day, the donkey, who had been ailing for the past several days, said to the horse: "Will you relieve me of part of my load for a few miles? I feel dreadfully unwell, but if you will carry a fair portion of the freight today, I shall soofl. get well again. This weight is killing me."

The horse, however, merely kicked up his heels and told the donkey not to trouble him with his complaints. The donkey staggered along for another half mile in silence, then suddenly fell to the ground dead.

Just then the master came up, and perceiving what had happened, he. removed the load from the dead donkey and placed it on the horse's back. "Alas,". groaned the horse, 1 as he started off with the heavy load aug- 1 mented by the carcass of the dead donkey, I "now I am rewarded for my ill-nature. By · refusing to bear my fair share of the load, I now must carry the whole of it plus the dead weight of my poor companion "

This is a fable by Aesop, and its application is "a bad temper carries with it its own punishment."

Now the basketball seasoti is underway, the fans and players of Lincoln High should ienit.m1ter this tale.

The loss of a temper by one of the fans or players gives the school a bad name for the whole season.

So why not keep that temper to oneself, so Lincoln High will again be able to repeat its good sportsmanship standard ?

"Jean, you' ,'e been on that phone for nearly a solid hour. Don't you have any consideration for other people?"

Why is it that parents just can't understand the necessity of talking on the telephone. Just because the party-line had been clicking their phone, b-ying vainly to get the line for about half an hour, that was no reason to become so disturbed.

When Alexander Graham Bell finished that remarkable invention, the telephone, one day in 1876, he little realized what confusion he was adding to this already mixed up world.

For 76 years, telephones have been ringing almost any hour of the day in thousands of homes throughout the land. From the 40,000,000 telephones in the United States, 160,000,000 phone calls are made every day. In other words, every telephone in the U.S. is used an average of four times a day.

When your boy friend calls tonight, just remember that it was made possible by Alexander Graham Bell.

Best Wishes

If you notice nineteen seniors shuffling down the hall with tears streaming down their faces, on Wednesday, January 14, it's not because they have lost their best fr ien d , it is only that today these ADVOCATE staff members put out their last issue.

Thoughts of all the many happy hours spent on the paper come creeping back into their minds.

After today, there will be no mot-. .,t those long Friday night sessions working in 1.l1e '\DVOCATE office, writing those minute -stories, and furiously counting headlines. There will be no more nagging from the page editors and adviser. No more waiting for t hose ads that never come

Of course there were the bright sides to the pi:::ture too. What a thrill it was on the day their first issue of the paper came out, and how proud they were to see their stories in print.

Preparations Made

Then there were the weeks spent in getting ready for the Nebraska High School Press Association convention. How proud they were of the various awards p1·esented to them. And their poor adviser was sitting on the stage each minute expecting the unexpected from his staff who were seated in the front row at the convocation.

"Get behind that line before you fall out of the window," was the command of the teacher each time one of his pupils came within six feet of the window. It seems the activities out on the football oval were always much more interesting than those long over-due assignments. Never to be forgotten is the morning of the blizzard when they thought at last they could catch up on those badly needed hours of sleep. The telephone call which put an end to all of these visions was the sponsor saying, "Come to school; this paper must go to press.'' So out in the cold they went to spend a wonderful day of vacation at schoot

The Christmas party the staff had was another occasion to be remembered. Powdered sugar from the doughnuts covered both the floor and the desks, which turned out to be useful as pop bottle openers. With these many happy thoughts o! the ;;cod iimes they have had, and the sad thoughts of saying goodby, the stafl members also want to wish the best of luck to the ne\v staff,

Gooll Chance To Help

interest was focused grimly 11pon the numbers. Each day throughout the early summer they grew larger and Jarg;e r until the public became panic-stricken.

The number of those stricken during the year, the number of those who died during th e year, the number of new cases admitted to hospitals. All this is summed up into one vicious five-letter word-polio.

Lincoln High School students will have a chance to carry out an important prineiple of d emocracy- the acceptance of social responsibility. By contributing to the March of Dimes drive, each pupil will have a chance to help some unfortunate victim of polio and maybe even himself, someday. You can never tell when and where polio will s trike next.

By contributing to the drive, each pupil will have a chance to h e lp scientific research and professional education directed toward the control of polio.

R e member that every dime someone contributes to the March of Dimes is winning the fight against poli.o.

Staff Extends Thanks

The time and patience that the students and teachers have taken to help them has been greatly appreciated.

They would · like to thank William B. Bogar, L.H.S principal, the athletic coaches, and club sponsors for their enthusiasm' and co-operation in making the paper a success.

Hat Shop Scene Of Opera

In the past years, the L.H S. stage has been a railroad station, a ship's deck, a mansion, and other settings, but in February it will become a French hat shop and a Count's private dining room.

With each play or opera produced, Lincoln High's reputation for giving something far above the ordinary "school play" grows. This coming production promises to be no exception.

Nanette and Fanchette can only sell hats that people want, but Fifi can make them buy hats they don't want. That is the situation that pervails in the annual opera, "Mademoiselle Modiste," to be produced by the Lincoln High Choir.

It is the story of Fifi, who has as her lifelong ambition that of being able to sing on the stage. This production tells of t h e inspirations and talents of the ambitious singer and reveals her gay, sometimes sad, life. It revolves around the life of the French peasants during this period.

The Victor Herbert opera, in combination with the teamwork and labors of the many people who are working for its success, shows definite signs of checking another theatrical mark to Lincoln High's credit.

Tardiness Creates Problem

At 8:31 Monday morning, Tom dashes down the hall, throws open the door to his first period, and scurries to his desk, hoping the teacher won't notice that he is tardy.

Tom is a typfcal Lincoln High boy who just has to have that extra ten or fifteen minutes of sleep in the morning.

When Sue comes to school in th e morning, she goes to her locker and usually ends up in a conversation with some of the other girls. All of a sudden she remembers she hasn't combed her hair. As she rushes to 'do this, the tardy bell rings. making her late to class for the third cons.acutive time that week. Then there is Jane and Joe who walk a.round the halls together, talking of the latest happenings. They pay little attention to the warning bell at 8 :25, but go merrily on their way. Both , of them wonder why their teachers are so perturbed when they consistently come to class late It is hard for teachers to conduct classes when students keep walking into the room late. -· Important sound announcem ents may also be missed if students don't arrive on time.

Chance To Correct - Habits

"I had a flat tire on th e way to school, Miss Gunderroann, and I just couldn't get here on time," explained Alibi Al, as he arrived at school at the end of first period. Slow Suzie told her English t eacher that she just didn't have time to do that book report yet. "I work after school and last night I had choir practice, and I'm busy again tonight," she said. Suzie forgot that the end of the semester was near, and if she didn't do that report she would fail the course. "Mother, I can't clean the house now," cried Naggin' N an; Jo e 's coming over. I'll do it tomorrow." How often does one use this familiar last statement? T oo often ! Lazy Larry dreads the thought of s now. Why? Because when it snows he is expected to scoop the · walk. Howev er, Lazy Larry a lways has a g ood alibi, such as, "I might as well wait until it snows some m ore. It isn't worth sco oping th at little bit of snow." It isn't long before L arry realizes that the sooner he does things, the easier they are to do. With the b eginning of a -new semester comes a chance to change those bad habits to ,2"ood ones!

Ex-L.H.S. Students Holding Big W asl1ington Assignments

According to the · Washington I Associated Press, there are five ex-Lincoln High students who are holding prominent positions in the government at Washington, D C. Until recently a New York attorney, Herbert Brownell is now Attorney General under the new Republican administration. Mr. Brownell graduated in the class of .1920. For the position of Assistant Attorney General in charge of executive adjudications divi sion, Mr. J. Lee Rankin,, a member of the class of 1924, was se lected.

Former Officers Government work is now ternBerge, a former Assistant Attorney General, and Hugh B. Cox, former Assistant Solicitor General. Mr. Berge and Mr. Cox, who were graduated in the classes of 1921 and 1922 hc.ve left the government service to engage in private law practice in Washington, D. C. No formal reunion is planned, but Mr. Berge told reporters, "I'm sure at one time or another we'll all be together again."

Bebop Talk Teen's Fad

"Solid, Stonewall, solid."

What! Talking about geometry at a time like this. Mercy to your new Unabridged Dietionary, "no."

T he pratter they chatter these days is called "bebop." Yes sir, everybody's talking it, from the poodles and crew cut crowd to Damon Runyon's, "Meet you at Lindy's" mob Just as the sloppy Joe and jitterbug used to typify the high schooler, the good old American voice is now liberally colored with such choice expressions as "Greetings, gate, let's communicate;" and "Dig that crazy rhythm," could well be the way the rest of the world wilLdescribe America, a land -of gum eaters and bopsters.

Remember the Bebop Talk about the man from Mars and - his strange language from another world. "Boy," the L.H.S.'er gasps, "That a language? Man, does that creep spill a queer line!" Then he turns to a pal and queries blithely, "Hey, who's that real gone pash-pie I saw you reeling out a sack of jack on last night?"

Like the ancients of old Cathay who named their years for animals, the Bopsters of America will probably call these years of 1952-53 the Years of the Bebop, and the historian that takes time to remember will receive an appreciative sigh from the Bopster, and on his Memorial they will more than likely write, "To a real George guy."

Reed, Pierson, i\FS Winners

Nor ma Reed and Dave Pierson have been selected by a faculty committee as the L. H. S. candidates for the American Field Service foreign scholarships, Miss Elsie Rokahr announced.

The two students, if selected in the national competition, will live in either France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Greece, or Italy for six weeks this summer. The idea for the exchange of teen-age students was begun by a group of volunteer ambulance drivers during World War I. Students have been coming from other countries to. the United States for many years but students from the United States have only had this opportunity since 1947, Miss Rokahr said

Basis For Choice

The students who applied were judged on the basis of scholarship, character,· maturity, and what they would get out of the trip.

The national winners will be · announced sometime this spring, Miss Rokahr added. The faculty judging committee consisted of William Bogar, L. H. S. Principal, O. W. Hackman, Miss Dorcas Weatherby, Miss Carrie Roberts, and Miss Rokahr.

Altrusans hold the, highest position among women in their line o:f work in Lincoln. They are able to offer valuable advice and assistance to girls starting out in their - careers

Do You Still Stop?

Are

longer h to Those STOP signs have been re- ave placed by SLOW signs. There were two reasons for change. After studying the city it evident there was no law which required motorists to come to a complete stop, at school crossings! Also, many -motorists complained that the stops delayed them en route downtown.

Both pedestrians and must now accept the personal responsibility of conducting themselves in a and sane manner, but teen-agers can ri_ghtfully demand more respect from motorists, because they are grown-up enough to cross streets without having everyone st?P for Everyone knows stoppmg cars is more difficult in the winter season because of the icy streets so pedestrians will to stand on the 'curbs until the streets are clear of traffic.

In actuality, it is just a switch. They now wait for the cars, instead of the cars waiting for them.

Elections Duty Of Citizens

A student i n Lincoln High is a citizen of his· school just as. he is. of Being a citizen cames 1.t and obligations, one of which is the right to vote. Voting is one way to preserve the freedom of speech.

It is this freedom which elects representatives to Student Council, County Day, Student Affairs Committee, and the class offices. Through these representatives, students have a voice in running the school, planning special events, and replacing old ideas or laws with newer ones that improve tht? welfare of the students and teachers.

Elections are a part of the American way of lif e and as citizens, students must protect heritage the right way, by the right to vote.

Wanted: Future Success

Now that the new semester has begun, the National Honor Societ y is probably on a lot of people's minds. Anyway, on most senior's minds.

It's a great honor to be a member of National Honor Society. It takes a lot of hard work and that means working right up to the 'time of graduation. Don't quit now that the las t semester is here!

During the entire years Lincoln High, eac h student is given a ratmg by his teachers. These ratings are given not only for scholarship, but a lso for leadership, character, and service.

According to Mrs. Pinney, members of National Honor Society obtain the best jobs · after graduation.

This new s emester is offering not only to seniors, but a lso to juniors and sophomores a good opportunity to work towards National Honor Society.

Courtesy Needed ln Halls

A problem that of ten presents itse lf to many L.H.S. s tud ents is that of climbing the s t airs. Every day before and after school a s well as at the noon hour, students ma y be seen relaxing on the steps of the; stairca se or on the landings It seems they are so tired that they cannot keep from le aning on something, and th e stairs must be the mo st comfortable lookin g spot.

Per haps th e most disconcerting note is that th e students don't move co urteously. They are usually preocc upied with what the y are doing and don't see people coming. This presents quite a problem for the pers on trying to g et throu g h.

If students must le an on something, t hey should choose one of the many walls availa ble a round L H S r ath er than the staircases.

Pleas e try to ke ep off the stairways unles s th ey are bein g used fo r a good r e ason. Don't be a traffic h a zard!

What's Bound in 300

The days of wonder! These are indeed the ones. The whole world has been marveling at the great strides of science in the past few years. Who can think of a better achievement than television?

For a short but precise book on this subject, consult TELEVISION, MAGIC WINDOW, by Frank Denman. Such things as the cathode-ray tube, electrons, and radar are explained simply and interest- · ingly here to give the beginner a chance to understand this highly popular entertainment. "'

Besides the fundamentals of TV a most interesting chapter on how to choose a televis ion receive r is added

Another angle of television has been explored by John J. Floherty in his book, TELEVISION STORY. This con cerns the backbone of the business : the actors, producers, cameramen, and other workers According to Mr. Flaherty, a television rehearsal is a most chaotic scene; with cameramen, actors, wardrobe mistresses, studio assistants,, the sponsor and others all wandering aimlessly about. However, while viewing the show on a set, everything appears to work smoothly.

Closely connected to the development of TV is electronics and fo those who are not scientifically inclined the study of the electron

Valentine's Day

Age-Old Custom

Who started the t radition of sending valentines? Did the birds of Italy, w ho were presum ed to begin mating on Februar y 15, have anything to do with it?

Some historians sa y that Valentine's day is an outgrowth of the Feast of Lupercalia, a Roman f estival on February 15, the day the Italian birds began mating.

More scholars, however believe the day originated in Rome when a Christian priest refused to accept the traditional gods of pagans, because of his Christian faith. He was impri s oned an d on February 14, 270 A.D., was beheaded.

During his period of imprisonment the young p riest m a de friends with the j ailer's daughter and cured her of si ghtl essne ss. When she learned of his exe cution, she left behind a thoughtful m os sai:e "From your Valentine " to show her 1ov e 10i him

seems highly mysterious and invol ved Raymond F. Yates has written THE WORKING ELECTRON, just for these p u zzled people. Included is an explanation of the mighty elect ron plus some inte resti n g and unusual sidelights. One of these is a chap ter on electronics as related to detecting. Previous to the war, rad ar was a new and untried field but according to Lt. Comm. Da vid · C. Holmes in YOUNG PEOPLE' S BOOK of RADAR, many d isastrous battles could ha ve been avoided by radar detection at that time.

The United Sta tes Navy coined the word for the mysterious process of finding objects which are invisible, as Ra-r adi o, D- direction, A- and, R-range; or radar.

One of the questions in the minds of the present day citizen is "What is an atomic bo mb?" A · good book on this is, YOUNG PEOPLE'S BOOK of ATOMIC ENERGY, by Robert D.

I U.S. Schools Much Easier

Today as never before an ever increasing number of s tudents from foreign lands are wandering the ·campuses of our universities and high schools, learning, along with geometry and his tory, some of the loca l jokes and choice bits of slang. In many cases these young people find Miss America a very different lady from their motber land Th ose who come from tropical countries have never seen snow; and w i nter sports, such as ice skating, which mid-westerners take to heart are as strange to them as a trip to outer space. Two hundred strong, these· students sent here by the American Field Service are predominately German. Although they receive no scholastic credit in their homeland for the year spent in America's high schools, they are learning much more than the three R's.

Some Che1v, Do You?

As Alfred Clutterbuck altempted to rise from

desk in geometry class during fourth period last week, he felt that something was holding him down. Strangely enough something was. A piece of gum had glued him fast to his chair. Yes, poor Alfred was another unforunate victim of a thoughtless gum chewer who dropped a gum wad without a second glance.

Frequently students squirm with displeasure as they feel their clothing stuck by the stale gum plastered along the underside of tables in the cafeteria. Nothing is more aggravating to many than being delayed when hurrying through the halls by this sticky adhesive covering the bottom of their shoes. The fact that carelessly tossed gum is likely to spread germs and often causes unnecessary cleaning bills is rarely considered by the majority of people. Waste containers are placed in halls and classrooms for a purpose and should be ·used for the disposal of gum Although gum chewing · is a national habit it too often becomes a nuisance, so next time remember to aim for the nearest waste basket instead of the handiest spot when disposing of old gum.

Even Now Courtesy Pays

George Washington's birthday is now past for another year. Almost everyone in Lincoln High has heard the story of the Father of our Country and the cherry tree.

One thing many people do not know about is his 110 rules of conduct.

Here are a few that pertain to life here in Lincoln High years later.

Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation, for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company. Wear not your cloths, foul, unript or dusty, but see they be brushed once every day at least and take heed that you approach not to any uncleaness.

Be not hasty to believe flying reports to the disparagement of any.

Be not curious to know the affairs of others, neither approach these that speak in private.

If you cough, sneeze, sigh or yawn do it not loud but privately; and speak not in your yawning but put your handkerchief or hand before your face and turn aside. Play not the Peacock, looking everywhere about you to see if you be welldecked.

Think before you speak, pronounce not imperfectly nor bring out your words to<l hastily but orderly and distinctly.

Undertake not what you cannot perform , but be careful to keep your promise. Speak not evil of the absent, for it is unjust.

Sale Of Links Under Way

"Hey Carol, have you paid your mon ey for your LINKS?" asked Betty.

"No, I didn't even know they were on sale. Besides they don't come out till May, what's the hurry? I'll get mine later on."

"But don't you realize that the price you pay later on will be more than if you'd pay for it now? I'd buy mine now and save some precious money."

"No fooling! Guess I ' ll have to find a LINKS salesman soon and pay for mine. Thanks for telling me.

Yes, the LINKS are on sale now and will be for some time. The price now is $3.50, but this will increase with passing time. Everyone had better see his favorite LINKS s alesman s oon and get on the ba nd wagon with the rest who are buying their LINKS early and saving.

Parking Presents Problem

"Hey Joe, wait for me," called Jim as he tore across the lawn from the parking lot to the Board of Education building.

Now, that day the snow was melting, and the ground beginning to get muddy, so-0-0-0, if the boys had turned around they would have s een such tracks. The sig ht was almost enough to make any custodian in his right mind resign on th e spot. It looked like a herd of elephants had tracked through. Now if all the students who parked there did this same thing, quite likely the privilege would be taken away from them. that is exactly what happened in this this case to Joe and Jim and their friends. It seems that one day, as they had just made it to their seats before the tardy bell rang, they heard an a:nnouncement over sound that the privilege of parking in the lot had been suspended

Maybe if Joe and J im had s topped this practice th ey still be able to enjoy a fe w more minut es of sleep that is now spent for a parking place. ·

This 1s a sad story; don't let it happen to t h e L.H.S. students. · ·

DANCING STAR, by Gladys Malvern is the life story of thi s famous person. Anna Pavlova was born in 1882, a pale child, who, it was fe ared, would not li ve long. HeI" moth er was poor but did all she could to enlighten her weak child. When Anna was eight. years old she was taken to the ballet "Sleeping Beauty." This opened her eyes to the beauty of life and she resoivec:i always to dance. With all her fame she never did b ecome used to crowds. She once said that she was much happier to give a matinee b]cause it allowed her to stay· in her dressing room until the next show and she didn t need to meet the eyes of the people waiting to see her. Hers was a life lived to the fullest for dancing.

Don't We Hope We're Kidding!

It looked ·extremely rocky for the Lincoln five that night.

Don Erway couldn't hit the ring and LeRoy wasn't right.

Bob B. had three fouls on h im before the half was o 'er

Beideck, King, and Hollibau gh seemed rooted to the /1oor.

A pall hung o'er the gallery. Hope s lowly ebbed a wa y

The score stood 23 to 12- 4 minutes left to play.

When Bernie too k th e showers and th e re f sent Weaver out

A saddened crowd slumped down to see defea t turned to a r'ou t.

But out on the floor the Link s resolved to do or die.

Keyed up to superhuman deeds, they watched the minutes

Wild gestures in the huddle, sweat flowed in a stream.

In desperate f ire-brand offense-last resort of the team.

Ronnie let fiy a counter from up near the other goal.

Erway sank one from the corner and Ted got one on a foul.

The crow d was in a frenzy, howling in hope once more.

Beating the b ac ks of neighbors; the babel become a roar. fly,

Buther us evaded the defense and scored while down on h is ear.

Lanky Bob got und er the basket and flipped orie in from the rear.

Wild ch eers shook·gal'ry skylights- all h.P.ck w as loose below.

The s core is tied a t 23-all and sixty seconds to go.

But bark! The thousands thunder a new earsplitting acclaim;

Now Weyand is telling Allan Graves to go in to the game.

He hitches up ·his pants, pushes his shirttail in,

Takes a look at the scoreboard - ignores the derisive grin.

With Circle, dodge, and cut b ack he dribbl es all over the court.

Brushes friend and :foes in his onrush fearing the gun's report.

Under the goal he l eaps forward, :flips the ball to the thunderi ng din.

"Umm! Where is that odor ing from?" wondered the watchdog Donnie as he walked his beat from room 320 to room 319 Donnie was accustomed to most of the odors in Lincoln High s h alls · because they usually came from the cafeteria. His tender little nose could pick out each odor from the others. This way he would always know whether or not to scamper downstairs :for lunch. I:f he could smell biscuits, cake, or his favorite ·food -pork chops, he'd be in -the lunchroom at 12 o'clock s h arp, but if he disliked all the odors, he wouldn't even bother to eat. · However, this odor was different from any Donnie had ever smelled before Even though pork chops were main dish toda y, th($ :OOor completely took away any appetite Donnie might have had. He decided the only way h e could :find the origin of. this sickening smeij was to follow his nose and trace it. As he got closer and closer, the odor J:> ecame almost too much for him. Now Donnie wa.s not only wondering what the odor was and where it was coming from, but who or what could be making it. Nevertheless he contim1ed on his journey to solve the mystery As he approached 320 he stopped short Now he knew where ·the odor was coming from Yes sir, those chemistry students were at it again! l __

Courtesies Pay Off

'"Remember Me," the big sign on the waste basket said. "Don't Take Food From The Lunch Room," the big sign on the door screamed.

"Rules; nuts to e'm," muttered Joe High School. "Boy, I feel swell today, just like breaking a rule."

Joe sauntered up to the counter and bought an ice cream cone.

"Guess, I'd better call Susie when I get home from school about our date tonight," he thought as he took a lick from his cone. As he walked out of the lunch room he spotted his pal Bob at the other end of the hall Hey, Bob, he yelled, wait a minute." Whoops! The ice cream slid from the cone to the hall floor.

"Nuts!" Joe muttered, as he wiped the ice cream from his hand. "What a mess! Oh well, the janitor will clean it up before anyone slips." Without giving it another thought he hurried off to see Bob.

When he got home Joe hurried to phone Susie.

"I'm sorry, Joe," her mother told him, "Susie's in the hospital. She slipped on some ice cream in the hall today and broke her leg. To bad about your date, Joe." ·

Class Sleeper Gets Caught

But wait! Miss Soapsuds is about to speak.

"Donald, what would you do if you were George Washington?"

Finally the answer comes.

" Sleep'.;'

But Donald has answered incorrectly, for Miss Soapsuds is staring at him over her nose most determined-like, and is writing a big "7" down in her gradebook. Unfortunately Donald has followed his answer and is sound asleep. ·

Do some people seem to sleep through class? Probably the question should be asked here, do t}_lose people snore quietly? Sleep, anyway they look at it, is necessary, but night doesn't seem to be the time to get it. Don't be :i Donald Doze!

Beware of Spring Fever-

"Hey John, where you going?" shouted Jerry as he came around the corner."

"Oh I'm leaving school now, I just can't stay and study when it is so nice out."

John is struck with spring fever ·and his feelings are the same as many of the students, around this time of year.

"Oh, John, why go now ? There is only one more hour of school, if you go now you will have to make up the time and th e work after school anyway."

"Well, I don't know," exclaimed John, "it's so nice out, but I will have to stay and make up the work and you are right there is only one more hour, I guess I'll stay, it will be better in the end."

If the spring bug hits any student around this time of year, stop and think for every minute taken from school time is a minute to make up.

Mary Martin Porgy and Bess, Florenz Ziegfield. These names should remind you of the theater, a place where a good play can flop or an actor can become famous overnight.

Plays, people, trends, and crazes color the history of the theater. Its turbulence and excitement have drawn people to it for hundreds of years. In honor of this, W a rd has written Matinee Tomorrow, a history of fifty theater years, 1898-1948.

Florenz Zieg field, with the engaging smile and hawk-nose, was one of the big men of the early 1900's. According to him the most important ingredients of a hit were, first, pretty girls, second, goo(i comedians, and third, lus h ba ckgrounds, He felt that trimness of ankles in his girls was more important than beauty of face. Therefore, his secretary was always instructed to observe applicants' ankles before showing the girls into hi s office !:1(.; .s quandere d by· l:i1 .=;; millions. It was nothing for hi:n to send to Africa for a baby elephant or to South America for a rare orchid. He would t ear down whole stage sets if one little detail did not please him.

This was Ziegfield, but this was the theater. This medium would never be complete without its earliest attraction, the play.

General Principles of Play Direction, by Gilmor Brown and Alice Garwood , i s an interpretation of the preparation which goes into the play.

First, there is the director, who must be an imaginative artist even though he m ay never appear before the footlights. He must take a script, a dead thing in itself, and bring t o it life. The director h a s three things with which to make a play, the stage, lighting, and last but not leas t, th e actors Settings and costumes ar e not essential.

Before the invention of illuminating gas, lighting was used mainly for visibility. Now it is used t o produce certain dr amatic effects Ludwig Lewi sohn once said,

The word originally meant spring in the English language. Christian Churches observe Lent as the period of fasting prepartory to the Easter festival, beginning · on Ash Wednesday, forty days before Easter, excluding Sundays, and ending on Easter Sunday. Years ago the fast before Easter was very short but very severe. Some ate nothing for forty hours between the afternoon of Good Friday and Easter morning Then Lent became a thirty-six day period of fasting. In 487, Felix Ill added four days. Thus it corresponds to Christ's forty-day fast in the Wilderness, which is the time we now observe.

Practfoe Fasdng

During the religious confusion of the Reformation, the practice of fasting was generally relaxed and it was necessary to reassert the obligation of keeping Lent and other days of absti11ence by a series of proclama• tions and statutes.

Mid-Lent, the fourth Sunday in Lent, was long known as Mothering Sunday, in allusion to the custom for girls in service to be allowed a holiday to visit their. parents and take a rich plum-pudding with them.

In the Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Anglican, and Protestant Episcopal churches, Lent is a season when Christians fast, pray, go tQ church, and abstain f r o m amusements. Protestant churches hold special religious meetings and devotions during Lenten season.

He also r elated a story about ing in th e Pac i. fie Coast championship game, i n which he (Mr. Hayes) offkiated. "During the course of the game which was played on a very dark day Mr. Jensen came up to bat in the la st half of the ninth inning with two out and the score, 1 to 0 in favor of the opposing team. When the p itcher had managed to get two strikes on Mr. Jensen, he and the catcher got togethe rr and decided that it was so dark and Bill Hayes was so blind that they would pretend to throw the ball and see if Mr. Hayes wouldn't call it a strike.

Easter Means Rebirth

The word Easter comes from the name of the Norse goddess of spring, Eostre, to whom the month Eostur, corresponding to our April, was sacred.

The French name for Easter is derived from a Greek word meaning "passing over." In the times of the Apostoles, the Christians continued to celebrate the Jewish passover, giving a Christian significance to the feast. Easter is the day that Christ arose from the dead after being crucified on Mount Calvary. There have been many disputes to the proper date for the celebration of the resurrection However, in the seventh century, a date set by the Council of Nice in 325 A.D. was universaly accepted The date fixed was the first Sunday after the full moon. If that full moon falls on a Sunday, Easter is the next Sunday.

The Easter egg, which has become an inaccurate symbol of Easter in the modernday world, was once a symbol of reviving life. For this reason it was called the Easter egg, and was often colored to resemble flowers or, by the Christians, for the blood of Christ.

Easter signifies rebirth in the world. Every Christian nation will realize the real meaning of Easter and remember it this Easter Sunday. Will you?

Help Someone By Giving

Has everyone given his share to the Red Cross this year? Don't let this happen:

A miser, who never stopped worrying about the safety of his many po::i::iessions, sold all his property and cmrt .:'irtcd i.t a lump of gold. This he buried in a hole in the ground near his garden wall, and every morning he went to visit it and gloat over the size of it

The miser's strange behavior aroused the curiosity of the town thief. Spying upon the rich man from some bushes, the thief saw him place the lump of gold back in the hole and cover it up. As soon as the miser's back was turned, the thief went to the spot, dug up the gold and took it away.

The next morning when the miser came to gloat over his treasure he found nothing but an empty hole. He wept and tore his hair, and so loud were his lamentations that a neighbor came running to see what was the trouble. As soon as he had learned the cause of it, he said comfortingly: "You are foolish to distress yourself over something that you buried in the earth. 'It would do neither you nor anyone else any good there, while if it were given to a worthy organization, such as the Red Cross, many people could be helped and your money's value would be much greater.' " Always remember that the true value of money is not in its possession, but in its use,

Support Spring Activities

Basketball is over! But that is only one phase of the activities that take place in L.H.S

Now is not the time to let up on that school spirit. Track, baseball golf, and tennis are coming up in the near future. The school picnic, the Junior Class Play, the spring party; these are just a few of the many school activities that need the support of everyone.

Who can imagine a large high school providing nothing for its students but six classes each day and a few vacations? A high school isn't a real school without its s,ports, parties, plays, and clubs. Yet without support from the student body these activities would surely fail.

Get behind the fun and excitement coming up this spring and see what fun it can be when the whole school is taking part.

'All Fools' Boasts Old Pagan Origin

Will Apr il l be the day when you are a fish, a gowk, or a cuckoo'/

If so you won t be the first, for people since the 16th century have earned these titles on " April · Fool's Day :" April 1, kno wn 11lso as "All Fool's Da y," h as long been a day for mocking unwar y persons by sendi ng them on fruitless errands or making them the victims of some practical joke. The custom of playing jokes on this day is so old .that i ts origin has been lost. According to some writers this celebration owes its origin to ancient pagan festivals such as the Huli Festival held by the Hindus on March 31. Others attribute its b eginning to the Feast of F ools, celebrated by the Romans on February 17, at which pranks and tricks are played.

Although April 1 seems to. have been anciently observed in Great Britain as a general festival, it was not un til the beginning of the 18th century that the making of foo ls was a common custom.

Jn F r an ce you would be called "An April Fish," in Scotland, a gowk or cuckoo, but in the U.S. for picki,ng up a worthless bundle or purse from the sidewalk on t he fir st day o! April ·you would just be the proverbial "April Fool."

Gala Week

A Meniory

The town is quiet and empty

There are now vacant spaces in ·

the crowds where once bright school sweaters a nd blazers bobbed like · misplaced pieces of a crazy quilt. And on the sidewalk two strands of colored crepe paper lie dirty and forgotten as the town goes about its business unaware of the tragedies t hat brought them there.

The tournament is over and Lincoln has seen the rise and fall of teams from just next door and from across the state. The coliseum is bate ; oniy paper and a' few stray articles of cloth ing remain strangely s y mbolic of a littered battle field. The people came by bus an d car. Some left with cheers of victory still ringing in thefr ears. i T h e cheerlead ers in th e ir bright I uniforms, the cotton candy and hot dogs and the bright lights on the playing floor all form a dizzzy kaleidoscope of color. When the las t fight song played and the last basket chalked up, there was little need to look at the scoreboard; just the name of the school blazers, or the faces of the wearers showe d plainly who won or lost.

Yes, the t own is quiet now as "The shouting and the t urmoil end, The captains and the 'teams' depart." (Kipling)

What's Bound in 300

Easter is drawing near and so is vacation. With this vacation sho uld come so me time to read and what be tter reading can there be than the stories of B ible characters?

A very prominent figure was Saul of Tarshish, the little man who had only one e ye. The blind eye hindered him little, however, for he also pClssessed a iharp tongue, which held the respect of h is fellowmen, but not thei r friendliness

Sholem Asch has written THE APOSTLE, the s tory of Saul, who felt that the man of whom .they spoke could not possibly be the Messiah. For had he not been hanged? The holy script read that the curse -0f God res t ed ori those who were hanged. Saul felt it was wron g for the Galileans to excite the people of Jerusalem with false news of t h e deliverer, for whom they had wait ed so long When Joseph Bar Neba, his best friend, became a follower of this Messiah, Saul of T arshish declared him no longer a friend.

It hurt Saul more than it did his friend, but he went out to discover for himself the Messiah, the deliverer of mankind.

It w as Mary who knew and believed in the Messiah first. In anot her of his informative books, MARY, Sholem Asch tells the s t ory of the v irgin, Miriam, the appointed of God, who lived with her poor mot her, Hannah, The girl Miriam wa s simp le, but she had one thing which made her belbved by all. This t hing was faith. In the eyes of her father,

Miriam had been like a son. He ha d raised her as though she were a boy. He had taught her to re ad and study t he Law. When she came of age, he had sent her to Jerusalem, that she might be near the Temple of the Lord, and she believed. She believ ed so strongly that at times she wondered i f the Messiah, for whom they all waited, were no t alrea d y present Perhaps he s tood unrecognized in the crowds in village. She felt a strange kinship to him: She had heard that a virgin would give birth to a son, but wou ld .it be she, Miriam of the house of Hanan?

Not until s he held the child in her arms did she know t he tr u e mean ing of t h ese thoughts.

From the beginning of time it seems every generation. of teenagers J1as been ridiculed. Froin the gay nineties to the jazz age, from flappers to bobby-soxers it's been the same true heart breaking story of mothers worried gray over the younger set. We have been sardonically discussed as "visiting roy alty" Yet parents lean over backwards trying to provide recreation for us from the first grade to the twelfth. It's been a series of activities to keep us · busy' and out of trouble starting with P.T.A., scouting, music lessons, a t hletics, to teenage canteens, Y.M C A. ; Y W.C.A., and so on down the line, and then we ·· are criticized for being away from home all the time. Teenagers Criticized We are spoken of as being pampered brats who do nothing around the house. We start school at 8 o'.clock and counting ninth period get out around 5 o'clock. ' }'rom then on we go through the series of act ivities scheduled for us, and often part time jobs. By the time we reach home we are satisfied to drop into bed exhausted, just to be awakened at an early hour and start again the same olcl routine.

We are cussed and discussed ln magazines and newspapers, and at home we are accused of monopolizing the radio, phone and everyone's life. In fact during our short period at home we supposedly draw out parents to a point ot exa speration As someone once said, "If you want to stay young, associate with young folks," and I believe they added, "also if you · want to d ie young 0 Show Some AbllUles

"Thanks for opening my locker for me," Joe High School says, "by the way I have the car. May I drop you at home tonight?"

"We'll be glad to exchange prisoners; the sick and wounded will be exchanged at a neutral zone," radio Panmunjom told the world.

Peace is also made through friendship. Which one do the words of L.H.S. students prompt?

April, May NaniesHave Odd Sources

Apri l, the fourth in the long parade of mon t hs, was not named for a god or a goddess like· most of the other months.

April is the "Angel of Spring," gracious, tender and good. She comes on the earth following in the bloody footsteps of the Roman God of War, Mars, for whom the blustery month of March was nam ed. The·· job of April is to m a ke the world liveable after the des t ruction rendered by Mars. She sprinkles the tired world with showers and calls up, in the ruts and gashes made by the fiery chariot wheels , sweet, lovely · flowers.

April is thus called The Opener," for the Romans saw that this month open ed gates of birth and restored life to all t he flowers, birds, and trees which h ad hidden in terror from the blasts of winter. "Omnia aperit," t hey voiced in wo nder and admiratfon , which means, " It opens all things."

Ideas Result In Trouble

Oh! Did the world look black for Johnny

Tru ant. How could he g o on living? How could he continue to enjoy life, to keep on eating, and go on just plain living?

Johnny's life was really in a mess. The I routine of living would n ever b e the same, and a ll b e cause of skipping school for one day, just one day.

The day started out just like every other d ay, when, bang ! The idea hit Johnny like a bullet. "Wouldn't it b e nice just to take it easy today, just sit around and enj oy life no studies to do, no tests to worry In fact do absolutely nothing?"

Johnny did stay home to enjoy life t h at day, and now his life is ruined.

Johnny h ad forgotten the new rule the sc hool had just enforced. That any skipping of school would mean being expelle d from school, an inferior rating, and a zero; and now he was paying for it. No dates, no car; just work, work, work, ev ery day. ..·

Johnny is typical of some of the stud en ts that learn their l essons the hard way. Whenev er th e id ea of skipping comes to mind, forget it. It will pay to come and enjoy life in L.H.S.

Spring is here at last. The long month s of waiting are over and there is now a new freshness to life.

F or with spring has come her pa.rt'! ner, out -of-door sports. As far back as the beginning of ci'?hza• t ion men ·and boys have enjoyed hitting a ball around. The balls could have any t hing from skulls to trees, but .this was a sport and men enjoyed it according to Fred Lieb in THE BASEBALL STORY. La!er baseball skipped into countnes and appeared in the for m of l a rounders, poison ball and stoll ball which later became cricket In the early 1800' s b a seball was more or less of a gentleman's game.

The Koredn prisoner on the minds of many people today. Pohbcians use it asanother subject to argue about. Newspapermen write stories about it. '.The average family hopes that it, maybe their son, husband, or father will return to them. But most of all, people wonder it What does it really m e an? What 1s it

Is it possible that the exchange is defeating its own Everyone is asking himself these questions.

The hoped-for-result of this prisoner exchange is peace; a more fnendly atmosphere between nations; the fact that when men are allowed to return to their homelands, everything will · be all right again with the world.

But it takes more than an exchange of prisoners to insure peaceful relations with the world. The important thing is to sure no more men are captured over this "greedy-man's war." For that's all the Korean War is really about; the greedy desires of one country to rule the world. Wars have gone on for centuries , but always over these same desires.

People must learn to live peacefully with each other, for only then will the world have peace. No one can become a by just wishing to be one, and so it 1s with peace. People must work for it Whether there will ever be peace depends upon how much and how hard people want to work: for it.

Stairway Railing No Help

"It's late I'd better rush What a slow bunch of students!"

This remark was made by a boy rushing down the steps from fourth floor when the stairs were filled. The railing was of no help, for there isn't a railing on those stairs.

"Out of my way! I've got to get through here," our rushing friend commanded.

"Help! I'm falling!" cried a girl on the steps. · "Grab the railing," volunteered someone. But there was no railing and she fell to the bottom of the stairs.

"What happened?" our hurrying friend inquired.

''If someone hadn't tried pushing his way down, she wouldn't have fallen."

Hurry Boy looked down sheepishly and asked if she was hurt. By now quite a group had gathere<:l at the bottom of the stairs and the principal sent someone to call an ambulance.

A doctor arrived and the students began talking excitedly among themselves. When the doctor finally got them to quiet down, he asked, "How did happen?"

Everyone thought he knew and volunteered answers but at last the doctor asked who knew exactly what had caused the accident. Silence prevailed ; The girl was sent to the hospital with a broken leg; and the friend who was in such a hurry just a few minutes before, walked slowly down the hall alone.

Victims Of Nibblers Increase

·"Oh no! Not again," sighs Suzy as the bell r in gs and everyone s tampedes out for the next class.

· Everyone .that is except Suzy, who sit s uneasily in her desk.

" What's the matter?" asks the baffled t eacher. "Are you g lued there Suzy? "

"Well, now that you mention it," says Suzy, "Yes !" This poor, unfortunate gii;l is another victim of the L .H.S. Nibblers, one of whom has trapped Suzy in his wad of bubble gum, which was hastily stuck on the seat of the desk after a deafening pop.

For you se e, those creatures r unning around the halls were just members of t he usu ally dignified Class of 19 53 But on that d ay they were celebrating Hobo Da y Yes · even the persori with the propeller beanie was a senior.

A few of the sophomores were shocked beyond words at the behavior of t he uppercla ssmen But who wou ldn 't be sh ocked at the sight of a fi gure, usually very n ormal in appearance, wearing a torn' shirt, faded levis and no shoes. It took a couple of glances to recognize a familiar face. The juniors weren't taken so unawares as the sophomores because they witne ssed the fir st Hobo D ay la st year. But now, everyone has recovered froin Hobo Day. The students are back to no rmal ; anyway mos t of them are. The teachers have recove red and a re preparing themsel;ves for next year and the Class of 1954.

What's Bound in 300

With the last few weeks of school a. sort of restless ness seems to appear. The urge to do something different obsesses everyone and soorier or later out come th e vacation folders.

Mother wants to go south this year and soon discovers th e pam phlet f,ro m Kill Devil Hill in North Carolina, where a monument has been erected in honor of Wilbur and Orville Wright. · The two Wright broth ers, who operated a bicycle re pair shop, had watched the birds and d r eamed of inventing a machine which would fly. But they had also studied the records of other men who had attempted to fl y, and the reports were discouraging. On December 17 , 1903 , in the of five people, Orville Wright, the first man to fly, kept t h e " Kitty Hawk" in the ai r for 12 seconds, thus beginning an entirely new era. Dad says he would li ke very much to vi'sit the Nebraska National Fo rest, located in Cherry County.

According to t he folder th is is a manmade forest which originated with Dr. Charles E. Bess ey, who was for many years a botany professor at the University of Nebraska Dr. B essey's idea that trees could be planted in the sandhills was finally accepted by the Uni t ed States Department of Agri culture. In 1902 President Theodore iss ued a proclamation, establish. mg the forest. Since that t ime milliOns of trees have been planted; a fact which has attracted an increasing number of people, who climb to the top of Scott Lookout Tower and view Nebraska ' s own forest.

Seniors Face Future

After graduation, the seniors will look back on three enjoyable years spent at Lincoln High School.

Graduation is not the end of on e' s education, it is the beginning of a new phase of life.

Seniors have been preparing themselves to race the future as responsible citizens not only of their community, but as citizens of the world.

Many of them will go directly into their vocational choices; some will go on to school; others will serve their country in the armed forces. Whatever they may do, it is the responsibility of each individual to work to the fullest of his capacity. By doing his own particular job as well as possible, he will not only achieve personal happiness, but will also have the satisfaction of knowing that he is contributing something of value to society.

It is important that they look back on the past and build on what has been done in the past; but it is even more important that they look to tM .future and meet the problems faced by society today.

Students look forward to graduation with anticipation , even though most of them will miss their high school days

Working This Summer?

"Say, Beth, what are you planning to do this summer?"

"I'm going to work, Ann.''

"Gee, I don't think I ·want to I'll have time to go swimming, play golf, or do anything with the kids."

"I though of that too, but I ,I couldn't do those things anyway if I d1dn t earn soine money, so I'm going ahead and applying for a job. I can always have fun with the gang in the evenings and on weekends."

· "I could use some money too. But I hate to be gone all day."

"Why don't you find a part-time office job, or if you like being out of doors, apply as an assistant at one of the summer playgrounds, or in some other recreational activity. They pay something, and most of them take place in the morning You'll still have your afternoons free."

"That's an idea! Maybe I can get Jane and Fran to do the same thing Then we will still have time to do things together "

Walks In Halls Interesting

Walking down the hall on the day report cards are given out can be interesting. Many different kinds of comments are heard from the students.

How often has someone said, Well, this grade certainly isn't my fault. That teacher just doesn't like me."

Then there is the other type who says , ''Guess I'll have to work harder next six weeks to get the grade I want "

Those are just two points of view, but in between there are varying degrees of blame being placed on everybody and everything from the television set to the girl who likes to talk for hours on tlle telephone.

To the student, it seems that the teacher has just given them a grade. · They don't stop to think that maybe the grades they got were the ones they earned.

There should be some way a student could get rid of the habit of blaming someone else for his mistakes. Maybe it would work to try blaming himself for a change instead of thinking up a good alibi.

"Pst Nimblenoggin, when was the War of 1812 fought?" called Charlie the Cheat from across the aisle during a history exam.

This cry is familiar to most Lincoln High students, for the cheater is a character found in every classroom and everyone at some time or other has become his victim.

The cheater employs many methods to further his parasitic desires. Looking over the shoulder of the person in front or across the row and writing crib notes on a hand· kerchief orthe inside of a bracelet are a few of the sneaky ways he may use to get extra help on a test.

Perhaps the statement that "a cheater hurts no one but himself," accounts in part for the seeming disinterest in what goes on during a test on the part qf many. In the long run this may be true, but a student who earns good grades in a dishonest manner lessens the chances for a hard worker to be a member of National Honor Society or other scholastic organizations.

'L' Pins Tangle With Difficult Problems As Owners Change Girl Friends Often

"Ouch!" excl aimed Leo the "L" pin as he hit the hard flcw r with a tiny thud. Yes, L eo, like all his L" pin buddies, really leads a hard life. Leo's newest owner, Jeanie, had just seen Tom, her steady boyfriend (Leo s original owner) walking down the hall with another girl. This called for a sudden fit of anger and, as u sual, Leo wa s the handie st th ing to tak e it out on, so there he lay on the floor. "I sure w ish Jeanie would hurry up and reconsider before I get stepped on and really get ruined," thought

d be goi ng steady with him again " "Well, s he's finall y getting som e sense in her head," agreed Leo as Jeanie slowl y picked him up. "After all Tom rea lly i s a l ady killer and Jeanie's jus t going to have to put up w i th it when girls run up to Tom and a sk him to walk them to class. " But, much to Leo's surprise instead of being pinned in his usual place, he w a s forced into Jean ie's already overstuffed purse. That night, just as he suspected, L eo was handed back to Tom, tears and all. This is Leo 's life He never knows where he'll be from one minute to the next but he does know that some girl will be wearing him again soon. ;'I wonde r what the next one will be l ike," thought Leo as· he rode home i n Tom s pocket.
