Students! We've got the team;. now let's support it. A team can go a long way on ability and experience, but it takes that "yell" from you to send it the rest of the way.

Coaches Bill Pfeiff and Ed Schwartzkopf have shaped up a aquad containing 14 lettermen. The Links started practice August 23, practicing twice a day for two and a half weeks. Since then practices have been limited to one a day. Pretty tough schedule to start in that August heat? Yes, but these boys are willing to obey orders from coaches, Pfeiff and Schwartzkopf anytime, to build Lincoln into the fine team it is. Every night after school these boys are out working to

The 1954 American Legion season was a successful one for the Optimists, though a bit depressing in the final week.

Then they entered t h e Area Tournament, the winner of which enters the State Tournament. In this tournament, the Optimists met their arch rivals, Has tings, whom they had beaten three con• secutive times during the regular season. After the Lincoln team had previously defeated Falls City and Fairbury, Hastings defeated the Optimists twice, 1-0 and 8·6, thus eliminating them from the tournament.

Dick (Yogi) Hergenrader led the hitting parade with an average of .368. Strong pitching was equally distributed among Bill Bergstraesser, Denny Curtin, Dick A. Hergenrader and Dick Welch. Members of t h e team were: Bergstraesser, Ron Bayless, Jack Carlin, Curtin and Cliff Hardesty. Eldon Ratcliff, D. A. Hergenrader D. Y. Hergenrader, Roger Krho~nek and Larry Littrell.

The Links, in the games they have so far played, have shown their depth in the backfield, using a continuous string of substitutions. Lincoln High's squad is much faster than the squad that appeared in the oval a year ago. This is without a doubt one of the reasons why they are now ranked No 1. The ·effectiveness of the Links' offense has so far been unequa led by any other team in the state. The · closest team is Creighton Prep , the No. 2 team in the state / A wide variety of plays have been used by the Links; end runs, reverses, traps , passes and line plunges have so far all been successful. Creighton Prep, No 2, also has a very fine squad this season. Most of their players from last year's co-championspip team are back. They also have a fast team. Omaha Benson, the No 3 team, has so far had a very successful season and is one of the teams in the state to watch. North Platte, No. 4 is a big team but they don't have the team

Democracy Wins ,,

"Democracy - Pattern For Peace. Wha~ 1~ a. democracy and why do we embrace it. In times past; there have b~en few governments known as democracies. In a den:ocracy every man vo~es on every question; therefore, democratic nations have been small in size. · ·· A limited democrac y, auch as. the Amen '" can democracy, gives power t~ people w~o choose other men ta make their laws This type of democracy is the most powe_rful weapon of the people, and the ~ost practical. We Amerkans are Catholic,. Pr otestan~, and Jewish; we a.re Negro ; white, and on~ ental. We are brothers with one common goal; freedom and equality. Freedom speaks· for itself.

"I Speak For Democracy," a pobtical essay by Elizabeth Evans, a 16-ye:3-r-old, speaks against Fascism and Communism: Show me , a country greater than our country, · show me a people more energetic, creative, progressivebigger-hearted • and happier than ' our · people, not until then will I consider your way of life. · For I am an American, and I speak for democracy.

Help Avert This

"Young boy tortured and killed by schoolmates!"

This headline and many others like it have been flashed in front of the eyes of the American public during the last few months. Par~mts from Hometown U.S.A. have been stricken with terror to think that their / child could be a victim of these circumstances. · What is it that is causing all of this fright? ·

A crus ade against terror " and "torture" · comic books has started. The headline at the beginnlng of this article is a. -remi lt of young children imitatin g a torture scene in a comic book. In this particular incident th e 1;,choolmatesput a rope around the neck of one of their fri ends and then hung him from :i, li1'1,bof a tre e. After this , they.toot off his shoes and burned his feet with a piece of hot charcoal. Of course the young boys didn't realize how much harm they were doing. Pare nts of all the boys. were saddened by this show.-of "terrorism." \ This crusade against terror comic books has be en picking up · more momentum as other people and parents realize the danger of such comic books on the lives of the younger generation.

UN 'Important

We, the young people of today, are important to the United Nations. Wh en the United Nations Charter was signed by 50 coun.tries on June 26, 1945, these countries made their pledge to youth in the first seventeen words of the pre~mble: "We the peoples of the United Nat!ons, determined to save succeeding generations from the Scourge of War ••. " To achieve this aim, the United Nations, through its v arious organizations, the World Health Orga nizati on, the United Nation s Int erna tional' Children's Emergency Funds, the Food an~ Agriculture Organizat ion, and the International Refugee Organization -began working in war-torn coun t ries im~ediately after World War II. They sheltered refugees, clothed orphaned ...,children and sent food and medicine. ·

During its nine years of existence the Un i~d Na tion s has made th e world a b etter pla~ to hve rm, and it s m embers are now striving to main ta in world peace, so that we may be saved from the "Scourg e of War." What the United Nations does t oday· will affect us tomorrow.

MIRACLE IN Tl:iE HILLS by

Mary T. Martin Sloop, M.D. with ~get te Blyth is the warm story of a 40-year crusade in the mountains of North Carolina.

When Dr Sloop and her doctor husband en tered the backwoods region in 1909, they were encountered by shocking conditions. There were neither schools nor doctors; electricity and running water were unknown The roads were sough paths through the mountains and nourishment was a steady diet of "hog m eat, g r eens, and grease," when they were a· vail ab le. Their m ain industry was moonshining.

The Doctors Sloop performed operations under an apple tree and in tlie shacks of the mountain folk.

Dr. ( Mrs.} Sloop fought against moonshining and child marriages.

She renewed interest in weaving as a tra de built a church and a modem hospital. She started a mov~ment which resulted in the construct ion of a modern 25 buildingschool. When she had done all she could and was fac ed with enormous obstacles she called upon God for aid.

the second team most of the second half. The Links were rated No. 1 about midway· in the season and h11veremained in the driver's seat since then. The Lincoln powerhouse rolled up 387 points to opponents' 75, averaging 43-8 points per game. Creighton Prep is ranked No 2 ' behind the Links, Prep barely got past a strong Grand Island team by a score of 28-21. If the two top teams, Lincoln and Creighton Prep, were to encounter each other, the Links would probably come out of the' game, the victors. Lincoln would have the 1smooth steady drive that . they have used all season. Prep, which has scored on more spec. tacular plays would probably also be true to form but possibly score less frequently.

Omaha Benson, No 3, has lost only one game and that to Creigh. ton Prep. Grand Island beat a good North Platte team for the Big Ten ti tle and thus earned the No. 4 spot and moved Nor th Platte to the No. 5 position. Hastings lost its last outing to an improving Fremont team and thus moved to No. 6. Falls City is in No 7, winning all its games but mostly against schools of smaller size. A team which has reversed t he statistics of their last year's sqµad is Beatrice, No 8. They won 7 and lost only 2 this season. The No. 9 spot is occupied l>y Kearney, a much improved team. Northeast is No. 10 after its defeat by the Links.

Reserves Jar

The Lincoln High Reserves overpowered the Omaha Tech Reserves, 25-6, at the Lincoln ovaL Lincoln scoring started early in the first quarter when they pushed the pigskin into the end zone and added the extra point to go into the lead, 7-0. Then with four seconds left in the half, Don Davis, outstanding on defense as well as on offense, intercepted an Omaha aerial on the Maroons' 15 and ran over the goal line for the second Lincoln score. The third quarter found both teams scoreless, with Joe Gacusana, Lincoln defensive lineman, making sparkling plays on defense, by twice throwing Omaha runners for 5-yard losses. Then in the fourth quarter Don Davis scored on an end run from 15 yards out climaxing an SO-yard drive Later in that same period

The Bombers were the intramural basketbal l champs at the final tournament held Thursda y, November 11, ,at Whittier Junior High. The winning team consisted of Denny Curtin, Yogi Hergenra· der, Marty Koolen, Bob Lamphere, Allan Newbill, Bob Rauch, Ed Taber and Stan Wichelt. The runner-ups were the Razorbacks. The sophomore basketball tour• nament was played at ;' the same tim e on the Lincoln High , .court. The Belers, the winning team, used John Elliott, Vernon Lotman, Bill Roper, ,Dwight Meierhenry, Jim Pinke rt op and John Thomp· son. The r~nner-ups were the Pelicans. Most of the intramural sports activities were completed this fall, although the winter basketball league play-offs will begin Monday, November 29. ·All entries were in and were posted on the bulletin board outside the athletic office. The flag football league finished its season with Jim Purcell's team up fron t with t'our wins and two losses. The other three teams lost their pace and fell behind. Their captains were Gary Boles, won two and lost two; Dick Christensen, won two and lost three; and Kenny Filbert, won one and lost four. The members of Jim Purcell's winning team included Jack Carlin, Eddie Haynes, Johnny Hughes, John Joyner, Allan Newbill, Jim Sievers, Nor man Sincebaugh, Bill Stevens and Vance 'Porrant The leading scorers for the four flag football teams were Bill Ste• vens witl;i 47 points scored, Allan Newbill with 37 points, Dick Welch with 33 points and Eddie Haynes with a total of 31 points.

The city ·football scoring race !poked like the Lincoln High roster t his year. Of the top five, four of the boys were Links. Rog Krhounek reigned as king with his 109, record-breaking, points. Mike Lee followed with 66, one point ahead of Ron Galois' 65 good enough for third place. Gary Smith notched the number five slot with a total of 40 points.

Lincoln High opens its 1954-55 basketball season against Fremont at the Wesleyan Gym, Saturday, Dec. 4. The Tigers will be out to ave nge their last year's 47-41 defeat at the hands of the Links.

orable mention. Jack Duffek, Mike Lee, and Rog Krhounek received first te am ber ths. Gene Hruza and Gary Smith were tabbed on th e second team and Ron Galois earned third team recognition. Cliff Hardesty and Dwight Meierhenry w e r e named on the honorable mention lis t Lee and Krhounek were · unani- · mous choices, as were, Mike Dugan Creighton Prep, back, and Dick McCashland, Geneva back. Though .playing primarily a t the fullback position, Lee made this year's team as an end. He was named ·at the end position on last year's first team also while playing for Grand Is land. Incidentally, Lee accomplished an unprecedented feat by making the ·team two years, while playing for two ·different schools. Krhounek obtained a backfield spot which he barely missed last year. Rog was "murder" to the opposition this year. He could outrun the defense or drop back and fire a pass over the unsuspecting defenders. Rog rolled up 17 touchdowns and tallied seven extra points, in engraving his name at the h e ad of the Lincoln High scoring record book. Jack Duffek, one of Lincoln High's greatest tackles, according to Coach Bill Pfeiff, is the third Link on the first team. Jack was converted from end to tackle this year to strengthen the nucleus ofthe line. He did a t remendous job. Very few, if any, kept the big tackle out of the enemy backfield.

Girls-Fantasy Land

Is Not All .Stardust

Once upon a time 'there lived in Fantasy Land, a beaut-well, she was a girl, named Asherella. She was given the· name Asherella because she had nothing better to do all day than to play around wit!, the ashes in ·the firepla.ce. Near where "Ashy" lived was a beautiful palace (really, it was a broken down old ruin but no one , would admit it). And li'v.ingin the, palace was 11middle-aged prince $hom Asherella was absolutely mad over! He· was her knight in tarnishing armor-four feet square and suffered. from:halitosis. Now Ashy had two of the most ravishing step-sisters and equally ravishing step-mother; as a matter of fact, they were so ravishing that they ravished all over the place. -There were no mirrors in the house because the family · couldn't keep them in· one piece

after ·looking at them. The very day that Asherella had obtained a job as a. cotton-picker, .the great social evene_1of the year was announced by the royal drum beater. This event was the ball at which His Royal Lowness would choose a sucker-bride. Every eligible young girl in Fantasy Land wanted to go to the ball and this even included Aslrerella. But· her ravishing step-mother and sisters just refused to let her attend. So upon this teaf;jerking scene came Asherella's fairy-god cousin. She promptly gave Ashy an overhaul-one mud-plaster, a, steam bath, and.on top of it all a genuine Doni home permanent. Well, after this Asherella looked more like a · .·girl. ·. • She scurried off to the event in , a used , Halloween pumpkin and while she was: there she was the belle of the ball-the prince even loved her. · But at the stroke of 9:30 p.in. Asherella dashed out of the palace and disappeared. leav.ing her 14¥.i size steel boot behind. The prince was just overcome with frustration; he laughed continuously. , After an endless search for his missing love, the· .prince and his beloved Asherella were married and ,lived hysterically ever after. The moral of this story is-Be a cotton picker.

Brothers Are So' Innocent

"Eee-yow! Hey, Sis, come help us quick!" This action of the larynx w a s performed by a younger brother who was in dire Med of assistance. So he appealed to a la:st resort, his sister' that '.i.tlebeing claimed by myself! My innocent brother and his pal were· engaged in the constructive .process of building a model ship w~en the disaster arose! Hearing hi! , frantic plea I raced. upstairs, !}e•trlyspraining an ankle on the w, iy, and found a wailing brother ar)d a just-about-to-bawlpal whose thnmb was out of joint! Looking at the twisted paraphernalia of knuckles and flesh i assumed a frightened expression myself! Abbut, to rush the injured pal hc;ne t<>,his mother, I detected a strange ,phenomenon. A noticeable glint · in the eyes of both youngsters\ and. the formati(>n·of sly smirks·.which ended in flilarious laughter proved my suspicions to be acc \U'ate!

"Ain't a goin' tQ need this house much longer; gettin' ready to meet the saints," are a part of the lyrics from "This Old House," which is frequently played over the new juke box in the cafeteria during the noon hour. The juke box is just ' one of the projects of the Student Council which started as a suggestion by one of t he members · arid became a reality. This group of students , meets two periods a week with their adviser, Miss Florence Jenkins, to discuss problems and suggest ideas that would help the stu• dent body as a whole. At presen t they are concentratinb their efforts on student· recrea• tion. According to Miss Jenkins, &hey are planning to make a bargain with movie theaters to get remreed a:dm1ss1on:prtc-es-'for"Ltncol:Ir :High School pupils, but this idea is as yet in the blueprint stage : I t was decided this yea\-, with the. co-operation of the county gov- , ernment committee, that the Student Council ·handle the Lincoln Bigh School student registration to vote. This requires that the student register only once while he is in h igh school and is set up to follow the pattern of voting as it is done in real ·life 'Rect!ntly a suggestion box was placed in the main hall near the office. ·Students wishing to make suggestions ·to the Student Council on problems that they think would benefit the school should drop them into the box and they will come to the attention of the Student Council.

Christ's Birth IS Celebrated World

Over

the homes there are customs and feasts, but gifts are reserved for Christmas Day, or Feast of the Kings. Tropics-Unusual Of unusual interest are the fes. tivities of those countries having tropical temperatures at Christ;:. mas time or, perhaps, the entire year Flowers for decorations, fireworks boating excursions, and picnics and fiestas provide a very colorful celebration. In all parts of the world, the · Christmas season is marked by wonderful things to eat. Symbols of an English Christmas are blazing plum pudding, spices, and mince pie. The latter comes, from a recipe dating bacl~ to 1344, and is a popular dessert in the United States today Mince pies became associated .with Christmas because they were originally ·baked in the shape of a manger. The French people are particularly fond of turkey, black pudding, Strasbourg pie, and spiced gingerbread for the holiday. Decorating and lighting a Christmas tree is an important event .in Northern Europe and in the United States. · Community trees found in our American cities contribute much to the gay atmosphere

Joy Night

ThenieTold

Americans Have Variety It is easy to understand the va-· riety of customs followed by Amer• icans. Much depends on the descent and interests of the individual communities. Early New England Puritans frowned upon any•thing but strictest religious observance. On southern plantations, · parties were especially gay and joyous. Christmas is, indeed, a delight- · ful holiday, but, regardless of all the happiness gained from Christ· mas trees, cards carols, and Santa Claus, we must first remember the true meaning of Christmas; the birth of the Christ child, and the three wise men who humbly sought the Saviour. · ·

Reasons Lost?

It's the Christmas season

Cfauses, laughing children, shi~y ~msel and glass balls, hurrying shoppers fill downtown stores. ·

D But why do we ·have Christmas . o you recall the story you've heard fo~ alm~st as Jong as you can remember? Its a simple story, really. It's just about a few shepherds, some sheep, a stable, a baby and a moth~r. Other characters in the story are three wise men, angels, a. star, and God. · . . It's the· story of Christm~s on the mside under the tinsel and wrappmg paper. Not that the gifts and shiny ornaments aren't right. They are! They are remembtances to your f~ends o~ the gif~s of the ·wise men to the httle child. But it seems the commercialization of Christmas is overshadowing the real reason for the celebration of Christmas.

The r ing of laughter, the jingling of sleigh bells, the hustle· and bustle of the holiday, and all the sounds of Christmas were drowned out for an unhappy Tom who slouched in a stuffed chair by the radio.

c ·ive to Help

"Mommy, why can't I go out and play like other little boys? Why are my legs shriveled and weak while Joe's are straight and strong?" The~ words brought tear~ to the eyes of Tommy's mother who reahzed· that playing like other little boys would be impossible for her son.

The reason-infantile paralysis! A dread disease which can strike anyone, anywhere, anytime. Perhaps if more people would give through the March of Dimes little boys like Tommy would escape the hoITible results of polio.

The March of Dimes is an organization that was inaugurated by Franklin D. Roosevelt ..-It helps pay the expenses of doctor bills and hospitalization which occur during an attack of polio: Tommy, who is unable to comprehend why he should be stricken with this disease, realizes that he may be helped through the March of Dimes.

. Won't you give what you can and perhaps help some unfortunate Tommy?,

~ore Scholarships?

The need for money to go to college seems to be a major problem for many high school seniors.

If more .scholarships were offered, some of the more intelligent persons would have an opportunity to continue their education. The people that can't afford to go to college are not necessarily smarter than those that can afford it, but those that have the ability should have the opportunity to advance their knowledge.

College means more to students who go ._.:;.:;chool with a scholarship. It gives _them :more desire to learn because they know they must maintain a good average in order to keep the scholarship.

· Scholarships also help to give high school students incentive to attain higher grades in order to obtain scholarships.

.If more scholarships were offered, we would have more people with advanced educations and thus make this world a better place in which to live. _

Council Directs Activities

A body of students elected to serve the interests of the students as a whole-that's the Student Council of Lincoln High School.

The best interests of our school include directing extra-curricu._lar activities, ~pons?ring some school parties, and endo~smg Lmcoln High game schedules on pencils. These activities are all performed by the Student Council.

Students on the Council are six senior boys and six senior girls, four junior boys and four junior girls and two sophomore boys and two sophomore girls. The Student Council is elected the preceding year, except for the sophomores who receive their votes· the same fall.

· This small body of students needs plenty of support. Suggestions, co-operation, and participation will help these students to fulfill the needs of Lincoln High School and adopt more suitable programs.

The Crucial Age

Have you ever stopped to think about the things you do? Are you the sort of person who always goes along with the cro_wd when you know that what they are gomg to do is wrong? If you are,, you a!e co:ntributing, in an indirect way, to JUvemle delinquency.

Teenagers' between the ages of 15 and 19 a.re considered as adults by most people. At this age they should know the difference between right and wrong.

So the next time the gang decides to go out on the town stop and think about the things they are going to do_. If it is a lot of good clean fun more power to it, but if it is destructive to someone or something, think twice before jumping in a lot of hot water.

What Is Your Choice?

Have you chosen your life-work yet?

How about_considering these: medicine, law, teaching? Did you know that the United States needs teachers more than ever before? That with the increase in population, teachers are more scarce than ever?

Then there is the field of medicine. This, too, is important with the increase in population.

How about law'! At the moment, law can stand on its own t.vo feet, with adequate "potential" lawyers. Obviously, it would be impossible to cover, all the professions, tell what they offer, their advantages and disadvantages, and try to recruit some of you into a specific field. We high school students ate the future of the world. Let's make it a bright future.

What's Bound in 300

With Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea being shown in theaters across the country, the li, brary is recommending a few books for those who want to read on the world under the sea. In The World Beneath the Sea, by Otis Barton, a fascinating array of the citizenry unfolds in this tale of true experiences of the author. Making dives in a bathysphere, Barton took photographs and made movies of this dark, mysterious, relatively unexplored territory.

He describes how movies of sea life are made.

A few of the interesting parts are about sharks and octopi. It hasn't really been proven tfiat a shark will attack a man if the shark is not disturbed by the man or attracted by blood.

More about sharks may be found in the true tales. of deep sea fishing in Denizens of the Deep by Philip Wylie. There are chapters on barracuda, marlin, sailfish and others. And of course there's always the one that got away. For those seriously interested in deep sea fishing there is a section on the International Game Fish Association, which is full of angling information.

Below are a few titles of other books on this subject available in the school library, Half Mile Down, by William Beebe. Danger Is My Business, by John Craig. Men Under the Sea, by Edward Ellsberg. I Dive for Treasure, by Harry Rieseberg. Treasure Hunter, by Harry Rieseberg,

Senior Girl Reminisces

Dear Advocate, Here it is, January 12, 1955, and the end of the first semester of school is almost here. For the Advocate staff, it means only one more issue to put out. No more news stories to run down · or features and editorials to write. And most of all, it means the end of all the fun and satisfaction of giving the students _a school paper. _Next semester a new· staff will take over with new and fresh ideas. And for the seniors like me it means our last semester at Lincoln High. Gee, when you look back at the past two years, you can see all of the things that make high school so wonderful. · But· next semester· is just as prQ.mising. ·weseniors are on our last leg of the journey and most of us are a little sad at the thought of graduating. CI said most of us; there are some who wonder if they'll graduate.) If only we were sophomores again, well, anyway, maybe jun· iors. But plans of college are now filling our heads. And when we graduate, I'll have one big regret as I know many will have: that high school isn't six years long instead of only three. · Love, Doris

Mixtures

the making of chlorine gas. The gas used as a poisonous gas during World War I, does not usually have ill effects on a person, unless inhaled in a large quantity. It is slightly yellow in color and its odor is on the same level as that of ammonia. There was the usual amount of coughing in the chemistry lab as this gas was made, and escaped into the air. The coughing became more frequent so the windows were opened and the cool fresh winter air rushed into the lab, driving away the 'Chlorine gas. The temperature began to lower, and some of the future chemists-near the windows began to get chilled. The problem was to find a happy medium so that the air that came in through the windows would drive away the chlorine gas, without giving the students a cold. Sometimes the problem was solved. · So students, if you come out of your classroom and note an unusual odor, lift your eyes toward 320, and think what those fellow students must be going ·through for the advancement of their knowledge of science. NOTE: This article is not intended in any way to discourage prospective chem• istry students from taking the sub· ject.

Expert Gives EtiquetteHints

When you get a special invitation to a party or just a dinner, remember a few pointers that should help you fo hnpress your host or hostess.

1. When you dress for dinner, never look sharp. If you look too neat you may make those around you uncomfortable. Therefore, loosen your necktie and open your shirt.

2. When you are ready to seat yourself, crouch slightly and hurtle over the chair. This amusing antic should start everyone leapfrogging.

3. The knife and fork are the two principal table weapons. Use both of them for consistent counterattacks and interference at the steak-plate, ·

4. When asked to pass some• thing, show them that you played quarterback at Notre Dame. Steady the hand and heave. A good throw should send the gravy bowl at least 15 good yards. •

5. Dining room tables were made too stiff. Show your friends how b bend the board-W!.lrk and in~line thP. boo;, a ~ood six inches from the table, bending one ear toward the table, ·

6. From this position you should be able ·to hear all kinds of noises under the table. If you are not sure about some noises, investigate by crawling under the table, and when interrupted from your sub-table activities, say "Boo", and go under again. -

7. When table conversation gets too loud and disturbing, try chewing your food loudly and slurp your soup. Belching often rends the silent treatment.

8. Having finished you meal, and you find that your napkin isn't big enough for that mess on your face, use the tablecloth.

Now you may turn toward the door, which is most often reaommended; grab your clothes; and start for home, after passionately kissing the attractive female guests. What fun, gang! Get yourselves invited now!

1954--Big News Year

1954 was a year of many happenings throughout the world. First, there were the events that made the news, and second, the people in the news. The year's most publicized news event in the country was the McCarthy-Army hearings. Rounding out the top five happenings wer6' the Supreme Court ruling on school segregation, the shooting of five Congressmen by P u e r t o Rican Nationalists, the Democratic election ·victo~ies, and the signing of pacts to rearm West Germany. Other top stories were the battle of Dien Bien Phu, the Indochina settlement, the East Coast hurricanes, the Korean War prisoner exch~nge, and the atoms for peace plan. The top figure in the news in 1954 was the French leader, Premier Mendes-France, who was named Man of the Year by the Associated Press. Other men of the year were John Foster Dulles, foreign affairs; Billy Graham, religion; Robert Young, business; Walter Reuther, labor; Dr. Jonas M. Salk, science; Ernest Hemingway, literature; Roger Bannister, sports; and George Gobel, entertainment.

IQuotable QUL_z

A roving Advocate reporter asked several . Lincoln High stu• dents what they would do if someone gave them an osculation. Here .ire the replies. Rogei-Khrounek: "Give it back to them." Walt Broer: "Jump up and down - on my bed." Connie Johnson: "Jump out of the way." Karen Mozer: "Slap him!" Sandra Foell: "I'd drop it and run." John Joyner: "I'd give it to Mrs. Terry." Mary Lynn Stafford: "I'd thank him!" By the way, an osculation is a kiss. Interesting, isn't it?

Enjoy Work

"I like my job." These words came from many Lincoln High students whose brief descriptions of their various occupations were printed in the D.D.T. (Diversified and Distributive Training) News of Nebraska, for December, 1954. Amusing or extrordinary inci~ dents, helpful customers, friendly employees, and a wide variety of items to sell, are all important factors which make working enjoyable for them. The following experience shows how "helfpful' a customer can be. A boy, employed in a grocery store was weighing grapefruit for a man. He writes, ". • • I was quickly reminded that they were selling for five cents each instead of five cents a pound that particular day." In addition to keeping books,. answering the telephone, and other similar duties for a television service, one girl feels s\J.e is able to be of better service since she has learned "some of the technical aspects of television" and can ani;wer more of the

Malenkov Resigns; Bulganin Goes In

Georgi Malenkov resigned last week and Nikolai Bulganin ascended to the top position. Confessing failure through inexperience, Malenkov asked the Supreme Soviet Parliament for a release. Dark horse the Soviet scramble was ·Nikita S. Khrushchev, who pushed Bulganin into the position of Premier.

Bulganin's former position was that ·of Russian Defense Minister and it has been said that he was only "a politician who commanded aoldiers." From the western world's standpoint, this move is an etcellent one. Khrushchev, who will be giving most of the orders, is considered to be a ·fanatic and to ~ave unreliable ideas.

Academy Award Nominees Named

Academy Award Nominations were ·announced last week for the best shows and actors on television. The TV Academy which gives these awards is a great deal like its movie counterpart, but has no direct connection with it Twenty-one awards are offered and six -of them are highly desired. Among the nominees were George Gobel and Tennessee Ernie Ford, plus some veterans like Lucille Ball and Jack Webb. The winners will be announced March 7 at the seventh annual awards dinner.

Nationalist Chinese troops ieft the Tachen Islands last week It is not known exactly what inducement was given to Chiang Kai-Shek to make him leave the islands. President Eisenhower encouraged this move because the Nationalists on the islands, which are not considered necessary -for the defense of Formosa, endangered the United States strategic position.

The powerful United States 7th Fleet helped in the removal of the 15,000of Chiang's troops with their arms and equipment, and the same number of civilians.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16,

..Are Juniors Misfits?

Open letter to the juniors:

Are you feeling like the little boy who, when he fell down and skinned his knee, thought he was too old to cry and yet too young to swear?

WeU, juniors have been feeling this way for a semester now, but with the coming of the new term, have had some new ideas. Juniors needn't be the misfits of Lincoln High. They .could very well be the leaders. After all the sophomores are still being babied and the seniors are becoming uni.!Jterested in things which affect the school that they are about to leave.

Juniors have eight able representatives on the Student ·council, who would be more than happy to know what other juniors, want done for the school. Also it's possible to have juniors on such influential school committees, as Library, Safety, an d Assembly.

Why don't all juniors start this new semester right and become the leaders of the high school, by doing service for it.

Problems a Problem?

"It's Tuesday again, and you know what that means," moaned Johnny; "Yes, I know," agreed Letitia. "It means home room."

"It's just my luck to be wide awake, with nothing to do," groaned Johnny.

"It's a keen study hall; though,'' consoled Letitia.

"Not any more," he announced. "The teacher's wise to that trick, so now it's pay attention or else."

Perhaps-y"bU-have·made statements si~i- · Jar to these, or heard your friends make these remarks about "problems class." Some of the complaints seem to be: lack of something to do, and uninteresting topics. But if we heard the teacher's side of the story, we might hear something like this.

"Well, here I go to my teal problem class," stated Mr. Brown.

"I know exactly what you mean," sympathized Miss Green. "My classes are just the same. Perhaps if they paid attention they might enjoy it."

"I agree,'' he said, "but it takes more than a teacher to make a class."

So, kids, why not try paying attention? You'l l not only learn about vocations, dating problems, studying habits and filling out your income tax forms; you'll also learn about yourself. Get hep and soon you'll be looking forward to home room, and it won't be a problem, either

Activities Help Sophs

The sophomores are now over their hectic first semester at Lincoln High. As we all know, there is a great difference between junior and senior high.

The three sophomore counselors have contributed a great deal to make their life at Lincoln High a pleasant one, by teaching the correct way to study, one's personality, and the fundamentals for getting along with fell ow students and ad'.ults.

Several activities have been designated for the sophomores only, to help them gradually get acquainted with the school. These include Mimes, Clef Club and Sophomore Band. ·

To aid the band in performing and to add a sparkle to the entertainment, there are eight girls chosen each fall to be the sophomore majorettes. This addition to the band was created during the fall of 1953.

The clubs and activities in which the sophomore~ may participate are many. The opportunity to become better acquainted has been extended, and it is hoped that there will be even greater interest this semester.

Can You Dig Signs?

Ho~ would you like to be run down by a steam roller? Chances are you wouldn't, but tli.at is exactly what some Lincoln High students resemble when they go tearing down · the stairs, and on the wrong side also!

-Experts usually agree that by the time you reach high school you should be able to distinguish between left and right, and up and down. Therefore, a visitor to Lincoln High could only conclude that pupils cannot read the signs on the stairwell~. When the clang of the bell echoes through the halls, this same visitor, going down the stairs, would feel like a jaywalker, dodging the five o'clock traffic.

· It is a great temptation to save time by going down the "up" side of the staircase, but is that little fraction of a second you save really worth all the confusion ·it causes?

What's Bound In 300

If you want to learn more about your home state and its historic origin, you will enjoy reading, History of Nebraska, by Dr. James C. Olson, superintendent of the Nebraska State Historical Society.

This book presents a complete story of the development of Nebraska ffom its earliest years, when the first white man came, right up to the 1954 elections. It presents a descriptive story of the state, its people, and its great events.

This is a book which should be of interest to Nebraskans.

A quarterly magazine, called Nebraska History, is published by the Nebraska Historical-Society. It contains information on many Ne; braska towns, and tells of the phases the s t a t e has passed through. These magazines may be checked out from the school library.

A White Bird Flying, by the late Bess Streeter Aldrich, a Nebraskan, tells of Nebraska life in a small town. It is the story of Laura Deal, a sensitive young girl who wants to become a writer. Laura doesn't plan to get married, but she wants to be well known more than anything else. When she falls in love with Allen Rinemiller her plans are completely changed. The rest of Laura's life is the exact opposite of her former drearns;imt s he wouldn't trade her happiness for any amount of for. tune or fame.

The Nebraska prairie is the setting for O Pioneers, by Willa Cather, another Nebraska author.

This book tells of the life of Swed, ish settlers, who have come to America to farm, and become rich. Alexandra is the <laughter of a Swedish immigrant, who has worked hard to pay off the mortgage on his farm. Before his death , he begs Alexandra, who is the oldest, to keep the farm even though there will be many hard times.

When the drought comes, all of Alexandra's neighbors sell their farms, but she keeps her promise and stays on the farm. Sixteen years later the once foresaken farmland, a fertile countryside, is rich in wheat and corn. Alexandra, who has never married, has devoted her life to the soil, but now as 'she reaches middle-ages, her happy later life has been well earned.

Lincoln's Name Gains Distinction

Do you know what day February -12 is? If a certain event had not occurred on this day, many things in the United States would be quite different. We would have no Lincoln High cheers, no Links team; in fact there would not be a Lincoln High School, Lincoln, Nebraska, Lincoln, Illinois, and Lincoln, Rhode Island, would be nonexistent It would be impossibl.! to drive through the Lincoln Tunnel or visit the Lincoln Memorial in a Lincoln automobile. There would be no copper pennies or five-dollar bills bearing a bearded gent's picture. All these things would be completely impossible i: Abraham Lincoln had not been born on February 12, 1809 So happy 146th birthday, Abe, wherever you are.

Valentines!!

Love Blooms

"valentine" for the coming year. The couples would exchange gifts and sometimes become engaged to be married. St. Valentine is the nanne given to three rufiei'ent ·m::lrlyrs whose feast day falls on February, 14. One St. Valentine was a Roman priest and doctor who was beheaded The second, abishop, was also behead- · ed The third was in Africa and very little is known about him. The customs of St. Valentine's Day have no connection with the lives of these saints excepting their feast day. There are several explanations for the custom of sending cards of greeting ard love tokens on Valentine's Day. The most plausible explanation is that Valentine's Day is a survival ol a Roman festival held on February- 15.

Foreign Food

Liked by All

Pizza, escargots avlec buerre, and smorgasbord may round like pretty weird things, but they are foods enjoyed by many people. The Italians are fond of highly seasoned, starchy foods. Pizza is a bread dough spread ~ith a tomato and cheese paste and dee· orated with hamburger or anchovies of the like. In all th~re seem to be hundreds of varieties of · pizza. Another food from the land of the ancient Romans is . spa~ ghetti. They say that the real way to fix spaghetti is to have it very long with lots of spicy sauce and sprinkled w i t h parmesan cheese. The French are epicurpan in their tastes. Escargots avec buerre are snails in butter. Fer people with weak stomachs, some delightful French pastry is recommended. The French like to be · spectacular when serving,a meal. For instance, crepe Suzettes are dessert pancakes served with flaming brandy. When gorging at a Swedish.smorgasbord, one is likely to find anything from soup to nuts These foods may seem pretty · strange but

A _LifetimeProject_

"Give me liberty or give me death."

These words, spoken by Pa.trick Henry 170 years ago, still reflect the desires in the hearts of many American citizens; and irt several cases, the actuality is that they receive the latter alternative-death.

The laws of our nation grant political equality and liberty to all; it is not political liberty which is lacking and which is creating our present problem. The trouble is caused because social and economic freedom is not given to the religious and racial minority groups scattered throughout the · United States.·

Representative persons of mi n o r it y groups are often refused admitle.nce to public hotels and restaurants and are not considered for :jobs on their individual merits. Last week, Brotherhood Week, was a time to shed these discriminatory practices. But this is not an idea to continue for one week and then stop. Brotherhood is a lijetime project.

There's a pin that comes ihto style every year about this time, but last year's pin won't do for this year. This pin can be high style for girls, boys; kindergarteners, patents , and grandparents

There is no set price for this pin. Pay as much or as little as your budget and your conscience will allow. This is one pin without a jewelry tax on it.

Th e strange thing ab out it is that your "pur chase price" and mor e may be returned to you later in the form of help, food shelt er, or first aid after a disaster. This _pin is the familiar red cross on a white background.

satellites in Western Europe would remain outside the range of Russian atomic retaliation. British Sympathy for U.S. Improves British sympathy for American animosity toward Peiping is rising after a disclosure of the CommW1ist torture methods on English pris- , oners. People who formerly did not believe American reports or considered them exaggerated have now heard the actual barbarous truth from their own sons and neighbors. This has provided an understanding for the United States insistence that Chinese Communist aggressions must be stopped at Formosa. Because of the political uncerfainty in Great Britain, this release by Sir Winston Churchill's government was otiviously timed to improve the country's sentiment for the United States and to turn it against Communism. This report is also· believed to have helped gain · public support for a British thermonuclear development.

Ohio River Causes Flood Damage

Hundreds of families were forced to find new shelter last week as the Ohio River rose to its highest level in seven years. It was declared to be a "major flood" ·by the Weather Bureau in Cincinnati because more than two-thirds of the length of the Ohio was at least five feet above flood stage. The American Red Cross considered the flood to be of disaster proportions. Large quantities of food, clothing , and shelter facilities were provided for the .3,182 families, and the number of victims increased as the flood rolled along. The damage has been estimated by Colonel J. L. Person, Ohio River Division engineer, to be several million dollars. However, Person cflU· · tioned that this is not a totally accurate account.

It is the opinion of some of the members of the "older generation" and most of themembers of the younger generation that the kids are getting smarter faster than ever before

d Dating, for instance, was suppose to have started in high ~chools way, way back. Most high school students. t?day start~d dating in junior high. Now, going steady m the fourth and fifth grades does not seem uncommon (to fourth and fifth gra~ers)_. Remember the riots at the Umversity of Nebraska a few weeks ago? Could it be that this doesn't happen in high schools because high school students a:e.smarter?

H#onor Your Mother

"A woman in authority; an old ?r elderly woman, especially of humble station; a female parent; or maternal tenderness or a!· fection." These are some of Websters definitions of a mother. These statements may define the word, but is it re:3-~lya t1;ue description of the intanfible qualities which your mother possesses '. Scientists have invented many electrical devices which take the place of manpower, but neither these men, nor anrone else on the earth, will ever be able to m:vent a mechanical robot which can replace our mothers. d It is no wonder that we set aside a ay each year to honor our mothers. '

The real founder of Mother's Day was Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, who wished to honor the memory of her mo!her.

On May 8, 1914, her drea~ was ~ealized, for President Woodrow Wlls~n si~ed a joint , resolution in Congress m which he ordered that the second Sunday in May be observed each year as Mother's Day Even though only one day has b~en especially designated, how wonderf?l it would be if we made every day Mother s Day.

It was a wonderful spring night; the stars were gleaming overhead, and the moon cast eerie shadows over the roads.

I had just picked up my girl. in my dad's new ' Ford. It didn't seem as if there was anything to do be~ides mini8:ture g~lf, movies, or rolling skatmg; so I f~gured it would be more fun to just go rodding around and I could show the new car. off to my girl.

I pulled alongside of Jim in his new '55 Chevrolet at the corner of 27th and ·0. He raced his motor and as the light changed to green there was a squeal of rubber turning against cement as we both took off. I pushed the accelerator clear to the floor and pulled ahead. At 33rd and O I was slightly ahead, at 70 miles per hour. I heard a siren behind me a oop; my girl screamed as I slammed on the brakes and took a sharp right corner. I went two blocks south and took a hard left. It must have been a very hard left, I think, as' I look back now. My girl is six feet under the ground and my dad's new car is down at Max's w?"eckedcar lot. I'm trying to forget, but it's hard to sleep at night.

''It niakes the teacher mad, and me too."

I take attendance in st udy hall , so therefore I know what a bother it is to keep changing the list. It seems as if th er_e's someone coming in every few minutes with a slip from the office that says, "Just late!"

Every time someone comes into class a few minutes late, the assistant has to check her list to see if the person had been counted absent, and if he has, and the office assistant has -picked up the absence slips, she has to run to the offic e and t ell them to tear up her previous efforts.

All this takes time, and after, all, the assistant is supposed -to have time to study, too. So why don't we cut down on this "just late" business, an d give everyone a break! · ·

The occasion of a two-week trip through the West and some talks I had after my return may allow me ·to write down a few ideas and impressions. · The most common questi~ I have heard since I came back Wl;!re some like these: "Did you see that highway?", "Did you see that State Capitol?", "Did you see this?", , .• That?". I think the , urge to have seen everything that is known as being immensely big, of most marvelous beauty, etc., as appraised by travel guides and advertisements, : has brought us to a rather poor view of things It has established the type of the tourist." I recognize that our time has become shorter Lnd shorter, and that we are always in a hurry, and that we try to get the most out of the few hours and days that are left for enjoyment and vacation. But I wonder a little bit what is really the "most"; is it the "biggest shopping-center o'f the western hemisphere"?, the largest building of the world" (in reality a styleless mixture of parts of at least four or five toally different styles)? I don't think that it is. I be lieve that there are other things, that are more important and more valuable to have seen and experienced. An hour on a place that is listed nowhere, but that · offers something s p e c i a 1, something that I think is beautiful, may remain as the most pleasantmemory of a long trip Enjoyment and beauty do not demand the opinions of others, neither the opinion of the travel guide nor that of ypur friends.

Here are · two books which have · been written purely for the reader's pleasure. ManY'other delightful books may be found in the school library. Snips -and Snails by Louise Baker gives a very humorous account of a woman teacher's ' life in a boys' boarding school. Miss Baker fincfs that she is both a mother and a teacher to these boys. Her problems range from snakes 1n the beds, to homesick• ness after the vacations. But her biggest job, is trying to make life at the school almost ·as pleasant as it was at home. Miss Baker, who is now Mrs. Howard Wilson, is a resident df Lincoln. Her book, Snips and Snails, was made into the movie, Her Twelve Men. A book which will leave you with a wonqerful Jeeling when you finish it, is The Magnificent Oh· session, by Lloyd Douglass. This book, which was also made into a movie, tells the -story of a "miracle" which affected the lives o! many people It tells about Bobby Merrick who set ·out to replace Doctor Hudson, who had died because of Bobby's carelessness.

May Day

Origin Due To-Druids?

May Day is celebrated as a spring festival in many European countries. No one knows the origin of the customs which have clustered around this day. Some people believe that the celebration of May Day started with the tree worship of the anc~nt Druids. Others beleve that May Day goes back even farther' to the spring festi• , vals of Egypt and India.

May Day was a favorite holiday for the people of English villages in the Middle Ages. It was celebrated by dancing, gathering spring flowers, arid choosing a king ·and queen of'the May. A maypole was set up in -the village square. The ·villagers danced around the pole, holding the ends of ribbons which streamed from its top. .· The Puritans frowned on May Day, ror this reason, the day was never celebrated with the same enthusiasm in the United States as , in England. But May Day festivals for children are often held · in parks or schools · In 1887 the Socialist parties · of the world chose May 1. as a day on which working people could show their unity by marching and holding special ,·demonstrations May Day is celebrated in this way by members of labor unions and of workers• political parties -in m'any parts Of \he world. · The day -has · becom:~ an impoi;tant patriotic ho]_, iday in the Soviet -Union,

One of the longest LHS journeys on record is the 1926 trip to Toledo, Ohio, on which the Red and Black defeated the National High School Football Champions, Waite High, 8·3, before 10,000 fans. The preceding year incidentally, the Link grid machine won the State Championship, scored 277 points to their opponents 23, (including a 74-0 rout of Columbus), and defeated another national power, Lane Tech, of Chicago, 38·7.

Governiii.ent Changes In Viet Nam

Sparks flew in South Viet Nam last week as three men vied for control of the Viet Nam government. First of all, ·a revolutionary assembly deposed Bao Dai as chief of state and put Ngo Diem into his office

After this bloodless change, Diem was oppo::.ed by enemies in private armies who wanted Bao Dai ba ck as their leader again. General Nguven Van Vy took control and declared that Bao Dai had been deposed illegally and that the provisional government headed by Diem was also illegal. However, when Diem· received reassurance of Americ an support for his action he struck back at the private armies against him, and found himself aided by a former enemy the Cao Dai religious sect. France also promised to help bolster the offensive carried on -by Diem's Nationalists.
