"But I'm not able to participate in sports," commented Frank.

"Well, you'U add just as much to the team by g etting o ut and cheering them on ....:...whether they are winning or losing,"responded Sam.

"By tlie way do you have any special interests ?" asked Sam. Of course, but -what has tha t got to do with school?" questioned Frank

"Well, there are many different clubs which are rel ated to music, drama, science sports, art, and business Find the one which interests you join and get busy. You can help other clubs by taking an 'interest in their projects also." Now J see what you mean," said Frank.

·Using Proper Stairways

Courteous and Faster

Have you ever run into someone coming up the "down" stairs? If you have, you might have taken a nasty spill. Contrary to popular opinion it is not smart or even considered smart to be going the wrong way on stairs. Some peopl e believe they are being clever and that people admire them for their individuality. But nothing could be farther from the truth. With people going both ways on stairs it is bound to cause congestion, perhaps even accidents. On any account it is handier and faster to use the proper stairs.

Some people make th eir mistake when they think that they are being looked at and are making quite a show. They are being looked at all right and are putting on quite a show, but the looks could kill and they are showing selfishness. Only a selfish person will take up other persons' time and take chances with their good health.

r.Seat Savers' Provide

Touhle in Cafeteria ,

"Where can we sit?" is the general lament in the L. H. S. cafeteria this year as boys and girls are turned away from empty places because they are " saved ." "I just have to save these pl ac es for five of my best friends. You wouldn't want me to eat alone, would you ?" explains Susie, a place saver, to a sea t seeker.

Another answer sea t seekers get ·is, "Wh ere will my friends sit if you take th e places I'm saving for them?"

The fact that the friends of th ese place savers are at th e end of the line and the s eat seekers could be done and gone before they get throu gh th e lin e doesn ' t bother the place savers. Th ey are cer t ain if they don't save their friends places their fr iend s will have to eat standing up or else break up their ranks and eat in. on es and twos.

the opportunity to hear Joseph S. Sewall tell about Social Security and its benefits Sept. 18 A movie on retirement was shown to help illustrate to the pupils how social security actually works.

"An Internal Revenue agent is expected to speak to senior problems classes in the near future," Harry Kuklin, senior counselor, added.

Miss Betty Pauly, senior counselor, plans to join classes with Mr. Kuklin when the speakers come. Miss Pauly also plans to have people from different fields of work tell pupils how the·work is done, the pay, hours, and workers' benefits.

Mrs, Alice Updegraft, Guilford Burnam, and Mrs. Virginia Roberts collaborate · in planning for the junior problems classes; "A new textbook titled 'Living and Planning Your Life' is being used this year, along with the work book 'About You,' which gives the pupil a better understanding of himself and a knowledge of getting along· with others,'' explained Mrs. Updegraft.

"Learning the correct methods of studying and learning their way around the building are the chief projects of the sophomore problems classes," Miss Wanda Crawmer, sophomore counselor, reported. Windle Reel and Mrs. Roberts are the other sophomore counselors.

"Counselors meet the ·first and third Tuesday of the month· to discuss their problems," Miss Dorcas Weatherby, counselor advisor, remarked.

Monsignor George Schuster, a priest at the Univers it y of Nebraska, interpreted Catholicism to t he fifth period class, and Mons ignor Lesl ie J;larnes, priest at Holy Family Church, explained the organization of the · Roman · Catholic Church to the sixth period class, Mrs Pinney disclosed. Rabbi Harold St ern, representing the conservative · elei:neiit of th e Jew ish ,rel~gion, spoke to bo t h cla sses. "The speakers minced no words in explaining their faiths,'' declared Mrs. Pinney. "Their info rm ation l).elped in developing clear thinking and tolerance, which are the purposes of the study on religion,'' she added.

Play Director A·nnounces Oct: 15

For 'Our Town' Dress Rehearsal

Dress rehearsal for the Senior Play, "Our Town," has been scheduled for Oct. 15, according to Mrs. Janet rerry, play direc-tor. Mrs. Terry summed up the play by stating that "the play was written to show that people should take full advantage of their lives while they are living because they cannot return."

In New Hampshire is situated a small town called Grovers Corners, around which the plot centers. This is the home of the Gibbs and Webb families. whose children, George Gibbs, Tom

Keene; and Emily Webb , Bobbie Teas; eventually marry. After Emily dies and wishes to return to life she is shown how futile this is and that her past cannot be re-lived. Here in the graveyard the townspeople patiently and smilingly await not "judgment" but grea t er understanding. The New York Times described "Our Town" as "one of the finest achievements of the current stage!' Thornton Wilder, the author, has transmuted the simple events of a human life ·into universal reverie He has given it a profound, strange, unworldly

significance-brimming over with compassion. 'Our Town' has escaped from the formal barrier of the modern theatre into the quintessence of acting, thought and speculation. A hauntingly beautiful play." ''One of the most important theatrical · experiences of this generation," states the Chicago Tribune. "Wedding completely captures the essence of a million tearful weddings back home." Thornton Wilder's play will be presented at 8 o'clock, Oct. 17, in the Lincoln High Auditorium. Admiss ion will be 50 cents or an activity ticket.

Miss Montgomery pointed out 'that Am er i can and English people are much alike, except that they use different terminoiogy for the same things. She cited the English term "net ball'' , for American basketball; and English "rounds" for American baseball, as examples of that point.

Miss Montgomery, who took Miss Margaret Motley's place in an English girl's school, found variances in school managemen t in the two countries.

Gum A_nnoysTeachers

My name-Alice Smith. My occupationteacher at Lincoln High School. My pet peeve-gum chewers.

Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that I have never chewed gum in the wrong place at the wrong time. But things are getting out of hand. ·

One morning not too long ago, I was prep~ring a lecture on the Grant Administra tion for my students. The bell rang and in walked my students, their faces smiling, but as usual, with blank looks. Soon I began my talk. Suddenly, before I knew what was coming off, about three-fourths of the class started moving their mouths, not talking, but chewing. I couldn't see any faces behind some of the bubble-fiends. Oh yes! There were those who continually cracked their gum. I couldn't even hear myself think.

W ouidn't you like that? To stand in front of a group and talk, and to get the · response of about 15 mouths all chewing in synchronized rhythm. It gets a little tiring, but I a·on't want to say anything unless I can help it. I don't object to gum as long as it js chewed in a civilized way.. I sure hope the kids begin to realize that their gum che~ng is becoming a little annoying.

I wond~r if they ever will?

Senior Pictures Important

"When I raise my hand, say cheese and look at the birdie."

'l'hese·are words soon to be hea.rd by the Lincoln High School seniors when posing for their graduation picture, which will probably be taken in the near future for the 1954 Links. Most senior students are usually pretty conscientious about,getting this little deed done. But, of course, there are always a few pupils who feel they're superior and such "Big Shots," that to have .a picture in the Links would be sissyfied. Or then there is the group of slow seniors. They really do intend to get their pictures taken but just never seem to get around to it. Either homework, clubs, jobs, or dates is their big excuse and then when the Links Board finaly says "too late," they raise quite a commotion because they think that is so unfair.

Seniors, why not this year all .be real efficient and get your picture in and on time. In this way, every grad will really be a part of his last yearbook at L.H.S. and have something extra special always to be proud of and keep.

Students Urged to Vote

"Hey Joe, where are you going in such a hurry?" yelled Sam as he passed Joe in the hall..

"Haven't you heard?" responded Joe. "It's time to vote for the Sophomore Student Council members_.:_ two sophomore girls and two sophomore boys. You know, it's a privilege to exercise your vote come voting day."

School elections may sound rather dull but they are really very important to the activities of the school. Where would schools be without a school government?

In one school, it was found that a certain group of p.ipils got together, campaigned, voted, and got several of their friends into a student government office. Later, it was discovered that these students were not do· ing what was expected of them. This caused quite a bit of trouble, and it all was due to the voters putting their "rather experienced" friends into office.

Fire Drills Hectic

Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring. Five short peals of the bell and the students of L.H.S. pour out of the building.

Pushing, running, and. yelling are taboo in this race of time. If there were a real fire, pushing and running would cause others to fall and it doesn't give them a chance. Practice fire drills are for everyones' benefit. More time and lives would be saved in emergencies if everyone would walfcslow enough so as not to harm other's.

Stopping to talk during the fire drill is another delay. Keep quiet and keep walking, that's the best bet.

Clustering in the doorways is another rule to remember. In case of an emergency, rescue workers would be unable to get into the building to help the injured. Remember, pushing and shoving doesn't help anyone. The Well"known motto, "The life you save may be your own," could easily be applied to a fire drill as well as the highway.

Angel Predicts Future

I can see a lot of things from up herethings other people can't see. I can see the past, the present, and most important, t~e future lives of those students down there m Lincoln High School. Some futures lo_ok pretty good and othilrs-. Well com~ on with me and have a look around. Pretty mteresting from up here. · Over there in that big white house, that's John Junior. He could be a good student, but he doesn't cooperate with his teach~l'S very well. Seems to have lot of f~uds wi1:h his parents too, when thmgs don t go his way at home, like the other night ";hen ~e couldn't have the family car. I cant quite see his future, it's sort of ,hazy and uncertain. '

Oh, yes! Sally Sophomore, dow~ in ~hat red brick house, was caught cheating m a test today at school. It hasn't been the first time, and unless she does something about 1 it it's going to cause her a lot of trouble. Her future ?-black, just black. And over behind that grove of trees, that's Sam Senior's home. Sam's a good boy. He has been on the honor roll at school several times and he gets along with everybod_y. He's always willing to do his part. Yes sir, there's a successful future coming up for him-clear and outstanding. Well guess I had better be running_ along now. There's a few more lives r have to look into before I retire for the day. Too bad L.H.S. students aren't all like Sam. Tnose that are not, though, can still change. The future is ·not here yet, but it's coming mighty fast.

Actions Reflect L.H .S. Pupils

While attending an out-of~town game, George thought it cute to smear his initials all over the school building. Later that week the principal of the. school disco".ered it ~nd said, "Well, if that. is what the Lmcoln High students are like I certainly ,don't want them back again."

Did you ever stop to think that your actions reflect upon our school? Many times we thoughtlessly say something or do something, that someone takes the wrong way, which reflects unsatisfactorly upon Lincoln High. Each student must take it upon himself to be responsible for Lincoln ·High's reputation. We judge others by their actions and talk, and they do the same. Many times decisions are falsely made by a first impression as we jump to conclusions about an entire school being rough or unmannerly because of one or two people. When representing Lincoln High, we must remember at all times to be courteous, well mannered, and loyal to our school. Lincoln High is our school and it is only as good as we make it.

Diets Harmful to Friends

"What have you got for lunch today, Sally?" asked Pat as she eyed Sally's lunch, which was spread out on the table in the L.H.S. cafeteria. \,

"Oh, just the usual stuff with a candy bar tossed in," replied Sally.

"May I have part of your sandwich Sal? l'm just starved." asked Pat. "That cake looks just delicious too. Care if I take just a little bite?" begged Pat.

"No, but why don't you buy yourself a decent lunch?" asked Sally.

"Oh I'm trying to .lose weight," answered Pat. "In fact I've only had two cups of coffee in the last two days."

''For gosh sakes! Don't you know that's bad on your health," cried Sally.

"Well yes, but th is way l eat just a little bit each day and I can lose weight faster," explained Pat.

'Yes, a little bit of Sally's lunch each day. So what can Sally do but oblige since Pat is her best friend, but one wonders just how long this friendship will last. ·

Community Drive Continues

"The individual is responsible for services rendered to the community."

This theme, used in a pageant recently given by the Lincoln Community Chest, could very well be applied to L.H.S. While on a much smaller scale, L.H.S. can still be considered a "community," and we, its students, as ''citizens'', and "individuals" of that community.

As such, we have definite responsibilities, such as paying class dues, obeying school laws anq regulations, and supporting all school activities, extra-curricular as well as those done on school time.

Most of us-w.jth a few exceptions-take our responsibilities at L.H.S. seriously. Why not, then, also accept our responsibilities as citizens of the city of Lincoln? Aiding needy Lincoln citizens is an important part of that responsibility. Let's all get behind the 1953 Community Chest drive!

What's Bound in 300

Marion Marsh Brown, a native Nebraskan, bririgs forth in FRON· TIER BEACON, her third successful novel for teenagers, the story of a young boy during the .first settlements here in Nebraska. Jud Stuart's dream to publish the first newspaper west of Missouri and the slave states, forms the background while fighting off Indians and taking over the farm work after his father's death develops the rest of the story.

Hannah, one of the first neighbors in the settlement of Stuarts Landing, encourages Jud to study and find ways to get enough money for his future print shop.

Then, to add to his already long list of setbacks, the Indians steal a load of pelts Jud had trapped for extra money. He is just about ready to give up the whole idea when he is introduced to the president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, who gives Jud sound encouragement for his future. The biography of the famous World War I hero, James Doolittle, is told by Quentin Reynolds in, THE AMAZING MR. DOOLITTLE.

Lt. James Doolittle was the man who led the famous and daring raid on Tokyo ; who revolutionized airplane design; and whose air exploits during World War I will be long remembered. Jimmy Doolittle spent his boyhood in California and was very much interested in prizefighting. He • would never resist a challenge in the ring as he never missed one in the air.

Can You Guess

Wh.o 'Miss X' Is?

Pid you guess who last issue's mystery staff me.mber w~s? If you guessed Miss Dorcas Weath• erby, Lincoln High's Girls' Adviser and Assistant Principal, you were correct. Th·e new mystery staff member attended Fremont High School where she had the lead in their Variety Show and the play, "Meet Me in St. Louis." "Miss X" was the president of Thespians , the National Honorary Drama fraternity, a member of the National Honor Society, Pep Club and Spanish Club.

She attended t h e Colorado Women's College and graduated from the University of Nebraska, where she majored in radio.

Do you know who "Miss X" is?

Franklin D. Roosevelt was the first President to be inaugurated January 20, instead of the traditional March 4.

Quiet Urged By Council

The members of the Student Council ot Lincoln High school have, for a number of years, attempted by precept and example, to eliminate froin the celebration of Halloween any ac tivities that are not in the best publie interest. The present Student Council feels that these efforts have been effective The ·celebration of Halloween, so far as the high school pupils of Lincoin · are concerned, has become the occasion of small parties in private homes w ith normal precautions for safety in effect. We again wish to go on record as favoring that type of celebration and we urge ,.all pupils of Lincoln H igh school to · join with us in a resolu t ion to refrain from any Halloween activity which destroys property, • either public or private, or endangers the safety of any person

Since the practice of knocking at doors and asking for handouts can become a public nuisance .when engaged in by teen,agers, we suggest that high school pupils leave such behavior to the very small children in our community.

This public s1atement on our attitude toward · the observance of Halloween is made by the student council ·of Linc.oln High school in the hope that all pupils of the school will cooperate in helping to make the observance of Halloween an occasion for demonstrating to the citizens of Lincoln-our own good citizenship.

'Show·Offs'.Annoy

Pupils With Tricks and Sly Remarks

"Ouch," cried Jane. "Who shot that rubberband?"

Of course everyone knew who it was. Only Charley, the class c o m e d i a n would be wide enough awake to do such a crazy thing during first period To Charley the teachers' scolding was· only another joke and it provided time for him to think of another joke to play on some unknowing. person.

Just then Paul entered the room and went to his desk. There lying on his chair was a tack; sharp point up. However, Paul was already wise to Charlie and saw the tack before he sat down.

Now Charley isn't doing this all for his own benefit. Allen and David, who sit beside him are continually egging him on Thus Charley, who will do anything to get into the spotlight will go ahead with the joke. This way Allen and .David don't get any of the. blame.

During the study half of the class, Suzie got up to sharpen her pencil. She knew she would never get to the pencil sharpener with.out a remark from Charley

__sp_o_rt_s_C_h_at_te_r_lPioneer

By "PHIP" STEPHENS

If the state football champion-

ship would go to the high school with the most material', it would go to Omaha South. South High has more boys attending than any other high school in the state.

South shows 1,260 boys enrolled, followed closely by Omaha Tech High which is only 30 short of South with 1,230. HoV{ever neither team is a potential state champ this year botl:i having lost several early season games. . Lincoln High has 872 boys attending and has lhe edge over Northeast by i25, as Northeast has only 447. This _possibly explains why Lincoln High repeatally takes the city championship.

Grand Island, who the Links will face for the climax of the season enrolls 608 boys and always is one of the top teams in the state.

Lincoln High will square off with Omaha Tech · on Oct. 30. Tech outnumbers Lincoln High by 385 boys. This might prove the question, "Which : is best, quantity or quality?"

Joe Arenas, ex-Lincoln High basketballer in the 1943-44season, is playing great football for the San Francisco 49ers. Arenas, after graduating from Lincoln High, went to Omaha University and played a T formation quarterback. Arenas never played ·football at Lincoln High.

In a recent game against the Chicago Bears, a last years sub, J\renas, who is now coming into his own, turned in a sparkling performance, scoring one touchdown on a 60 yard run.

Mel Allen, sports broadcaster, went to no end describing Arenas' fine running, His performances so :far has placed Joe in high consideration :for all-loop honors.

Hobbies Have Great Influence On Professions in Later Life

Do vocations determine hobbies or do hobbies determine vocations? This is almost the same question as, which comes first, the chicken or the egg?

It is very controversial, but almost everyone must agree that although a hobby does not determlne a vocation, It at least has a great influence on it. This has been proved mal)y times by men who in their high school day s took part in extra-curricular ac t ivities, and i.yho late r in earn ing a li ving have carried this in t erest on into their profession

Take for instance, the Mummers, a dramatic club which helps to develop poise. It was organized in 1918. Flavia Waters Champ belonged to the Mummers and· also the matinee' dance committee. She is now a well-

Band Appreciated

.

· What am I talking about? Well I'm talkina about a dream that the students of Je~kwater High had had for a long time. Many a student had passed through that little school since they had begun dreaming of a band. But nothing had really been done about it. Oh, it's not as if they hadn't tried, for they had. · However there were no instruments, and no one really knew anything about teaching or conducting a band; They had tried several things , but there weren't enough students who could play, or enough of a variety of instruments. Beside, they couldn't raise enough money to buy all of the things that were needed to start a band. Then one day Mr. Harrison, the old man who lived in the big house on the hill , called the principal of J.H.S. and asked if he would bring several students interested in the band to the old house. · When the party arrived, Mr. Harrison seated them and started talking. Realizing the determination of these students he said that he would put up the money to hire a condttctor and buy enough instruments to have a first rate band.

That was six months ago. Today they are marching down Main Street to the famili ar stra ins of "Stars and Stripes Forever."

Yes, the students are proud, and so is Mr. Harri son, who is standing on the sidew a lk where the band is pas s ing. The th oug ht s running through his head are m a ny "If only," he thi n ks , "the sch ools who have alw a ys had a band ·could know the story of t he determination and enthusiasm of this gr oup of students, they wou ld prob a bly · appre ci a t e their band a lot more.

Mrs. Sarah J. Hale editor 6f "God~y·s ·Lady's Bookt worked for 30 years to promote the idea of a nationa.1 Tha.:nksgiving Day. She sent out pleas through her maga.· zine afid wrote to the various Presidents.

For 15 years after that, the President proclaimed the last Thursday ln November aa Thanksgivin ' bay. But in 1939 Presidertt Franklin D. ioosevelt ptoclaimed Thanksgiving one week earlier. This wast6 make the sllopping perlod between Thanksgiving and Christmas ·longer. Some gcrv~tnors refused to follow his example, and their states celebrated Thanksgiving on the traditional day. Congrt!ss finally ruled that after 1941 the fourth Thursday of November would be obserVed as the Thanksgiving Day and wouid be a legal ~oliday. , ._ The first A.men.canThanksgiving took place during the second winter the Ply:m~th colonists spent in the New Wor14. Th~ first winter in Massachusetts had killed nearly one half of the colony members. :But, in the summer of 1621, n ew hope grew and the corn harvest brought rejoicing. Governor William :Bradford decreed that Dec. 1311621, be set aside as a day of feasHng and prayer, to show the grat~tude of th e colonists that they we r e still ahve.

The custom. of Thanksgiving spread from Plymouth to other New England colonies.

Is Youth Irresponsible? "Irresponsible kids, carefree; no inte· grity." " This is how teen-agers frequently f!nd themselves descl'jbed in t9day's conve tsa tton and literature. 1 What has brought about these accusations? Are they""H.ir, or not?

Of course, th ese i deas of youth hold true in a minority of cases, but the youth of today, tM leaders of tomorrow, must change thia and make the general concept of youth be that th ey are the responsible builders of the f utllre

March of Dimes Begins

One of the most charitable organizations in the nation today is once again at work, reaching for its highest ·goal in history.

· The · March of Dimes was named by Eddie Cantor, the well-known comedian, on Nov. 22, 1937, when he suggested 30second nationwide radio broadcasts t9 promote the ·drive.

This year· students in 27,000 high schools will participa'te in the drive to raise $75,000,000 for polio control, according to Basil O'Connor, president of the Na:.. tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The ·polio prevention program for 1954 will cost the ·March of Dimes $26,500,000 in addition to expenses for patient aid, research and professional education.

Children Receive GG In 1953 approxima t ely 237,000 children - i?r·fl" c0111manities· .e- · ceived gamma globulin innoculations, ·and this year the March of Dimes hopes to provide funds enough to innoculate 2,000,000 people.

Since 1938.the March of Dimes has aided four out of five cases and spent a total of $174,000,000· for patient care. More than onethird of the money raised in the 1953 campaign will be used to buy gamma globulin.

Death Rate Droppin&' -

The death rate from polio is dropping steadily. thanks to the progress made possible by March·

of Dimes research, and the last r~port was that the death rate was down :six per 100 persons. In the past 16 years the March of Dimes has paid for 4 ,145 scholarships and fellowship awards for medical study. Five hundred and seventy-three nurses, 99 physical therapists and three doctors were sent into stricken areas by the organization in 1953. The 1954 drive will help approximately 66,000 polio patients A-om past years. The chances of getting paralytic polio between the ages of one to 20 is one in 150 and the amount spent on GG for th.ese cases will be $19,000000, which is dosage enough for 2,000,000 patients.

Disease Strikes 35,001)

By joining the March of Dimes high school students w.illbe attacking a disease which s t ruck ~pproximately - 35,ooo- Amerfcansin 1953. This year in addition to gamma globulin the organization will conduct trials of a t~st polio vaccine; The whole problem of polio control is closely related to high school students, as the teen-age group is the most susceptible to infantile paralysis . Each time · students dona t e to a voluntary health agency like the National Foundation :for Infantile Paralysis, they are he lping their fa ith in the democratic way of life and accepting the responsibilities that our :free, co-

European Travel

Open to Students

If you have a secret yen to visit gay "Paree," or to visit the Queen in dignified, old London, here's your opportunity to go traveling.

This chance of European travel is offered to four Lincoln students by the American Field Service to increase understanding and friendship among the peoples of the world. Under the AFS Summer Program, American teen-agers live with European :families for six to seven weeks · during July and August, sharing the family's sum mer activities.

Countries offering homes this year are: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. Candidates attending in recent y ears from L.H.S were Dave Pierson arid Thea Borgmann.

Seniors Fill Time

Wheii. the end of the semester rolls around, many seniors find themselves with time on ·their hands . To those who are fortunate enough to have this spare tirne, Lincoln High offers many opportunities. All seniors give many a thought to what they will do when they graduate. Here's their chance. If a student plans on going to college or university, he can take some courses to help make entrance requirements and also get some subjects out of the way. Girls can take some extra classes in home economics and boys caq. go on taking shop or whatever will help them in the future.

A problem that many times arises is the one which asks the question "What course of study shall I follow at the university?"

To many, this seems so complex that t~ey are discouraged and never attend, thus missing both an education and social adyant~ge~. If high school students realize that it 1s not necessary to have your life plan set when they enter college there would b~ many more attending.

Special aptitude tests are also available to those who are in doubt.

University offers many grand opportunities and now is the time for seniors to begin planning for the future.

Dimes Again on March

"This boy has polio -he 'll never walk a gain Sorry - there's nothing we can do "

A few years ago those word s were heard over and over again by hund re ds of pa7:ents

Parents hoped and prayed for some mirac!e to occur to sa ve their children from this horrible disease.

Last year Nebraska suffered its worse polio season. Many children and even a~ults di-ed of poliomyelites. Wards in the h? sp1tals were overflowing with patients. Li ncoln's Orthopedic Hospital was rushed with d mands for space for more infantile paraly s is patients. Iron _lungs were in de~and, research was earned on day and mght, and finally gamma globulin was discover ed. Research equipment and hospitals are prov ided by the "March Of Dimes" fund. Donations can never exceed the top. As long as the dimes "roll in' re sear ch can carry on!

A new year always brings a lot of wishes and ambitions into the open, and 1954 is no exception. Studious students at Lincoln High head the list of crazy, mixed-up· wishes for 1954 with:

Uniform Peppers Invade flalls Searching for L Pins

Approximately twenty days dui;ing the school year we observe Peppers in uniform tripping lightly through the halls. We see them swarming like ants going to a picni c . These girls aren't looking for food They are hunting ''L" pins. How does a typical Pepper l ook? It all depends on which one you happ e n to see, because they all look different. Take Fluttery Florence, for instance. She was so busy all summer she just couldn t find time to get her uniform together Everyone appreciates girls like Florence because they add variety to the dull world.

Jewelry Jane really comes in style. Her Pepper uniform is fashioned with rhinestone earrings and necklace. Many of our fashion minded Peppers feel we should have a Paris designer create a new style hat. Since, for some odd ·reason, the budget doepn't include Paris hats, would an orange bow or ·a bunch of vi olets help?

This is a typical conve rsation heard shortly after the Pepper sweaters arrived. "Oh Satisfied Sue, I can hardly wa it to use my fish net," says Cashmere Carol. "Whe re in the world did you get a fish net?" Asks Sue. "Oh silly, I mean my P epper sweater. Look! It fits s o awful. It hangs down to my knees," explodes Ca shmere

Ca rol. "Maybe its the person in it. Why d id you join if you didn t want to be disgraced by wearing

something other than cashmere?"

These conversation's were heard over and over, Always the word .fish net seemed to dominate.

Lets look and see how our girls act at the game. They are all seated, some scattered here and some there, but we have to admit ·they are seated. Some are eating, some are reading, some are talking about their dates, and some 'are even knitting My· what a peppy bunch. I hate to ·disturb the little dears but let's ask a couple why they aren't cheering "Madame, why aren 't you cheering. w e just made a basket?" I ask a girl who is reading "Romeo and Juliet." She answers, "Oh really, thats nice." Shall we try the next one? She answers, "Well I just don't know any cheers. No one else does either. I can ' t anyway because my dog Fred died and I have to sing at his funeral. You wouldn't want me to strain my voice. "No, we wouldn t want her to strain anything. We might lose her for the season."

Where is our pep? Lirtcoln l!igh School should have the best Pep section in th e state to match our t eams. Remember girls, we can't · neglect those pla;vers. They and th ey alone can supply our demand for those popular "L " pins. Lets hope som~thing drastic takes plac e before Saturday night. On past per formanc es we may win the basketbaU games, but we are a sure bet to lose the tonsil title.

Filler Subjects in L.H.S.

Does Lincoln High offer enough two or three hour subjects?

For those students not interested in either music or art the only filler subjects left are driver's education and physical education.

Most students, especially girls, get enough. physical education when they have filled their required nine hours and don't care to take the same physical education course over again.

On the other hand, if a class in Junior or Senior Life-saving were offered to advanced swimming students, a class could probably be filled. Quite often people would like to take lifesaving but never have the chance when it is convenient. ·

Another class that might be offered is a two or three hour typing class. A student who is in college preparatory doesn't usually have time for an extra five hour course, but would like to take typing to help him in his university work. If he has had typing in junior high, a two or three hour course in typing would be just the thing for brushing up. Adding these classes shoul~ help keep the courses offered to Lincoln High students up-to-date.

Relaxation at Last

An old fable, told in Iran, by an Arab, illustrates brotherhood . Once there was an enormous, brightly colored carpet in the throne room of a famous palace. A moth, named Beedee, was born in the patch of blue-colored carpet. While he was a young grub he was happy in the "blue heaven." One day he met a fellow grub, just over the border, in the red stripe, and another in the gree n-colored background. , They quarreled for days. Each thought the world sho~ld be the color of their p~rt of the rug. There could be no reconciliations, for tolerance to stouthearted Beedee would be cowardly. Then one day, the little grubs grew up, and with silken wings they flew high in the air for a

deadly battle. But then, they looked down, and from their high place they saw the pattern of this whole magnificent ~rpet. And they were friends together.

The basic beliefs of the National Conference of Christians and Jews are as follows:

The positive should be stressed. Brotherhood can be made a normal and na tural part of everyday living.

Brotherhood is giving to others the same dignity and rights one claims for himself.

The purpose,' of the Committee is to promote justice, understanding, and cooperation among Protes t ants, Catholics, and Jews; Also to analyze, moderate and , eliminate prejudices which mar all relations.

If a dog had a gold tooth and could eat , with a spoon, he would be on exhibition and you would probably pay to see him.

The girl who wore glasses a few years back was a curiosity and everyone started or glared at her, calling names such as "four eyes" and others.

See the man going down the street? He is crippled. You can't tell it? I know, but he is, and has, two artificial legs. You see, he was a doctor in World War II, and had to hav~ both legs amputated.

Manners Pay Off

New Times Cause Names To Change

Jane, Sandra, Pat, Jean, Sally, Nancy, Shirley, Joan, Ann, Sue, and Mary, · these are the most common names given to baby girls born during this period, or generation.

Awhile ago the common names were Edith, Emily and 'Helen, or names such as Hope, Joy, and Truth, but a/ the times change so do people's choices in names, but most of the names that change are girls'. The boys' names a re rather standard.

James, Bernard, Robert, Benja• min , John, William, and Fredrich are some of them, and so the nicknames for these names are old too. ' Names are said to have meaning, such as Franklin meaning free thinking and Bernard meaning bold as a bear. Most of these ar~ the old names and the people used to name their children these names in hope that the child would be as the name. When the child ren didn't turn out like the meaning of the name, the people usually forgot the ,meaning so that now the name fits the person instead of the person fitting the name.

How About the Draft?

What about the fellows in Lincoln High now who are at the age when the 'draft is a dark cloud hanging over their heads?

· Naturally ther're not too pleased with the prospect of having to serve ihthe armed forces when they are so unsure of their futures, but they realize how grave the consequences would be if they shirked their duty. They realize our country would be unbearable under the rule of a ·dictator and that they must help prevent such a situation from, occuring here. They -don't want -to give up their independence and be thought of as so many soldiers with - no regard for them as individuals?

No, of course they don't, so why shouldn't they be willing to fight for this freedom which means so very much to all of us?

'Learn By Doing'

We, the young people of today, will be the leaders of this great country of ours; tomorrow. But before we can take over thjs great task we must learn what mak es this great land of ours function. What makes · a leader? How is our government run?

This is the aim of Cornhusker Boys State, to teach the youth of today conclusive attitudes toward the American form of government. To the · boy who attends Boys State, a whole new experience will be opened to him. He will •,see government in action, ' and help be a part of it. He will choo se his own officials, a nd help organiz e his own miniature city, which is actually based on the way a real city is r un;

This year Cornhusker Boys State will b e June 6 to June 1,2, and to the young men who att end it is an unlimi ted opportunity to actually "Learn by Doing."

"One and two, and one and two, and one and two."

No, these familiar words are not coming from Miss Lightfeather s Dancing School. Any one of the 1953 Boys' Staters could tell you that to these refrains they worked up tremendous appitites doing calisthenics each morning before breakfast.

The uninformed folks living near the NU Agriculture College probably wonder · what that horde of boys do to spend their time

THE ADVOCATE STUDENT SPEAI(S l

Teachers have been giving re port cards for hundreds of years and many people have gotten the idea that without report cards there could be no school.

The defenders of report cards usually have something like this to say, "This is a competitive world. Let's be realistic and let's start this realism in school."

But these same people would protest the strongest if their employers would give them report cards on their work habits and achievements every six weeks.

Report cards, as we ha~e them now, are · wrong. The first reason why they are wrong is that they make, out of individual students, a group of identical mechanical ' robots. Report cards pay no attention to differences in students' individual person:.. alities or goals in life. They compare the future artist with the future mechanic, even though when they grow up they will live and work in entirely different spheres. · Report cards are also wrong

because they judge only one side of a student's many-sided char• acte r, usually his ability to memorize. They fail to take into consideration either his social growth or his emotional development , which will be far mo r e impo r tant in later life than a retentive mind. The answer to the report card · problem lies in some ty~ of progress report, a warm, friendly · note from the teacher to the parent discussing the student as an individual, keeping in mi,t1d his capabilities, and dealing with all sides of his personality. This type of report would be far more effective than a mere series of checks or numbers on · a report card. It would reward th e efforts ·of the below average st udent and urge the above average student to do his bes t. · -Wilbur Haas

Fire Drills Dragging

Headlines blare, "Fifty Students Killed in Tra.gic School Fire." The details relate how a large eastern school was almo~t demol- · ished by fire. And what about the lives lost?

The enrollment of the school was 1,698. The building was in good condition. The fire was caused by carelessness, but how were those lives lost?

· Everyone participated in fire drills. (You know those things. They break the monotony of school for five or ten minutes.)

Every month the many pupils lazily oragged themselves out the doors and then · stopped. Finally when the real thing came, they were unable to get out because they had acted so slowly during the past years.

The students did pour out of the building, but not fast enou1!h. Strange isn't it?

Your Reputation· Sticks

Do you have a mind of your own?

Victor had always been an ardent follower of the gang. If Puggy wanted to go to the show, Vic did too. Then there was the time when he was counting on going to the big basketball game, but Nat thought it would be a good idea to "mess around." Vic, afraid to voice his opinion on the matter, backed Nat's suggestion.

Woe to that night! The boys got bored "messing" and went downtown to the openair fruit market. The apples were to much of a temptation to resist. Each boy grabbed for one. Much to their displeasure, a patrol car had been parked nearby and saw them take the goods. The boys were taken in and booked for robbery. Yes, just fortaking measley little ·apples.

Are you like Vi ~. a follower inste ad of a leader? Why ruin your reputation just because some of the other fellows chose to shatter theirs?

iar pnrase "April Fool" would appear. By the end of the day I · was nearly crazy. But I've be~ planning many little tricks to pull for months and this year I'm going to be the one who laughs.

Everyone probab l y heard Principal William Bogar state in the Pep Assembly that he was not superstituous, but studeI).ts who were regular fans at L.H.S. basketball games probably noticed that he was never without his lucky black socks.

Mr. Bogar made it clear that he had not changed his socks since L H.S. bea t Nor t heast High for the District Cha mpionship. He also said that he did not intend to do so until after t he L.H S -Boys Town game. It was a lucky thing he did not change his lucky socks, because the Links came out victorious in the game.

Teachers and Students

Green, green and more green!

That's all students saw March 17, which everyone knows was St. Patrick Day. It looked like everyone in L. H. S. has some Irish blood in them. If prizes had been awarded to the most ioyal Irishmen there is no doubt who would have won. Beverly Marsh;i.ll and Ethelynn Roemmich, both sophomores, and Gaylord. Ellison, a junior, came to school with green hair? They dyed it with green food coloring. Glad hey didn't use paint.

The Eyes Have , It

Ever notice a photograph?

It can be looked at from any angle, and the eyes of the picture will follow wherever one goes. From any angle these eyes seem to watch and follow, understanding just what is being done.

The world is rather like a photograph, since in the world there are many eyes. These eyes follow, and watch, unceasingly. They never rest or stop. ·Always there are · eyes; from every and any angle the eyes see, and know. They understand with experience and wisdom, or they condemn with fear and prejudice.

The eyes of a photograph reflect much in a person's life. The eyes tell much about individuals, and reveal their thoughts, hopes, dreams, fears, and beliefs about people. Eyes tell a story. Most people first look at eyes. If they are filled with trouble or other thoughts, most will discover it. If they are filled with hate or anger, friends will be lost. If they are filled with kindness, and understanding, a much wiser, and mature person will be growing up to face all of the eyes of· the world.

Bombings Tell Story

"I was there when they came and bombed my house and I saw my mother for the last time when she pushed me down into the cellar, as the planes went !ironing overhead."

This was a small boy of ten, talking to a group of people at a meeting. He was telling them of what he remembered before he became an American citizen, and al• though he was small his eyes were very old

The boy paused, "Then one day they told me that I was going to America. 1t made me very happy for I knew that there wasn't any danger of planes or bombs in America, because the people took care of themselves and each other."

This boy had more to say, but his message to this community he had aJready said, although he didn't know it. Linc oln needs an air base for protection of America and this area, and yet people forget this and criticize it because it is a small inconvenience to themselves. Yet, which is more important, to be inconvenienced in a small way or to be protected?

Why Vote?

"Who shall I vote for," says Back-ofTimes Bill. "I don't seem to know any of these candidates. Oh yep, I think that third one on the ballot is in my geometry class and that Mary girl lives across the street. I'll have to vote for them since I at least know them. ·

Say that fifth name has a nice sound. That kid must be a cool guy, and that eighth girl's name is the same as Mom's. My Mom is a pretty good egg. Anyone with her name must deserve my vote. Hmm, it says here I'm supposed to vote for so many and I've barely st.arted. l wonder who the kid next to , me is voting for? If I could only peek and see. No luck, this is a secret vote and he's not intending to spill a secret I guess next year I'll have to start knowing my classmates.

Gossip!

Time: Any Place: Lincoln High School Scene: A group or maybe -just two young people talking together in whispers. This setting seems harmless enough but it could prove to be very disastrous What these young people discuss could ruin someone's day or maybe more.

If these typical L.H.S.'ers thought for a minute how much harm their idle chatter could cause they would probably stop. They usually don't mean to hurt anyone but just happen to hear something they think is interesting. If perhaps they would stop and consider that this little unimportant bit of chatter could hurt someone they would probably not consider it worth repeating. Probably Result: A lot of heartache. ' .

Don't Freeze· Your Toes

"Yes, my darling daughter, you may go swimming, but don't go near the water."

This is a little far-fetched, but it may be sound advice at times.

Early Saturday a group of girls headed for the 'ole swimming hole. It was chilly on this bright April morning so naturally the water was cold. A gay time was had by all, but when Sunday dawned, a few of them awoke with the sniffles. · They all vowed to themselves that next year they 'd wait for real hot weather to make their debut in the pool.

Cool Chatter

Comes from Crazy · Cats

A bewildered look! Are those kids crazy? Is this a foreign language?

These w e r e s o m e o:f the

thoughts of Mr and Mrs . Snodgrass, who were hearing this conversation ·from two teen- · agers, Rita and Faye .

Rita: "Look at that REAL COOL car!"

Faye: "Maybe I could get my dads BUG tonight and we could go to the HECLETHON."

Rita: "REAL GEORGE!"

Faye: "There goes Bill, he is sure a SQUIRREL!"

·Rita: "There's that ODD-BALL Joe."

Faye: "I am 1lure that Larry is LOCO IN COCO!"

Rita: "Jim is sure trying to be a HUB-CAP." '

Faye: "There goes that PINK little Sue "

Rita: (Stumbling ov er a curb.)

Faye: "THAT'S THE WAY THE BALL BOUNCES! " Was this conversation a foreign language to you, too? If so, maybe you had better study up on teen-age slang!

REAL COOL-Cadillac convertible.

BUG-Car

HECLETHON-Movie. REAL GEORGE-Excellent.

DOLLY-Cute girl. SQUIRREL- Reckless driver.

ODD-BALL-Character LOCO IN COCO-Plain crazy

HUB-CAP-A person who tries to be a big wheel but fails.

Feet Will Kill Me

Sooner Or Later

Tap, tap, tap, shuffle, shuffle! The sounds of millions of :feet! Little ' feet, big feet, wide feet, thin feet. They all seem to land on me. I'm the fourth step on the down side of the southwest staircase between second and third floor. Every day thousands of feet step on me. Some are courteous, some in a violent hurry, and still others are slow, seeming never to leave me My life has been a long one. I 've been here since the building of the school. I'm made of marble and a few years ago I was so worn out ihat I had to have some more layers of marble put over me. In other words I was resurfaced. I've noticed lately that again I seem to be sagging slightly in the middle It's disgraceful for me, once a straight streamlined step, to be th i nking about a second resurfacing job. But, I guess I alway~ lead the life of a step and have to be happy being resurfaced every couple of years.

Old English Custom, To Take Girl's Gloves

May Day was probably first celebrated by the ancient Druids who built huge fires and danr.ed wildly around them, May Day is actually a form of nature worship. The dance around the Maypole, the joyous feasting, and the crowning of the Klng and Queen of May all celebrate the passing of winter and · coming ~rf summer. Although May Day was never popular in America it seems that an old English ·-custom was to seize a girl's gloves -on May Day and demand a kiss in forfeit. This custom was brought across the ocean b;y th~ colonists and preserved in their lore.

We are told that on May Day, 1660, Jacob Murline seized Sarah Tuttle's gloves and demanded the forfeit. Despite the law prohibiting lovemaking of any kind without the consent of the parents, they sat down together and kissed for a half-hour-much to the amusement of a group of on lookers who had gathered about them. Sarah's father had Jacob dragged to court "on the charge of inveigling his daughter's affections." But the young lRdy calmly informed the cou~ •hat the inveigiing had been allon her part and th at she had wanted to be kissed! She was fined and .warned to mend her ways.

Summer Approaches

Summer is an extremely useful time of year. A time when many future plans can be made, and carried out.

To some summer is a 11resting season."

To others it is a time to work hard before the fall comes.

People all over the world use summer u a very special time of year. It is unlike any other kind of season.

The weather brings out the full beauty of Mother Nature. Everything is green and lovely. The crops of the fields t~ from small seedlings ·to mature ·adult plants.

People also grow and mature during this time. Away from the many distractions of a busylife, they have time to stop and think. To think is to grow, and in growing one · becomes older, wiser, •and finally a mature Individual

Jobst

''Rich man, poorman, beggar man, th elf, doctor, lawyer, merchant, ·chief." Some 12 years ago some children were seen ·pla.ying this simple game, saying each one of these vocations for each button on their clothing. They played this game not really to decide·which vocation t!ley would go into, but to see if they would end up as a thief or as a rich man. Now the110 aame people are graduating from high school and they are deciding their :vocations again, only this time they are tieciding it a little differently, because now they know this isn't a game they are playing but somethbig they will do for the rest of their live&

These ' people look odd to their underclassmen because the underclassmen can't· quite realize what is so important. Yet next year and in the following years when the undercla11Bmen seniors they will realize why this step is so important.
