What looked for one quarter like a dismal prospect for football at Lincoln High this year has turned into a much rosier one for Links fans.

With a little more experience, defensive polish, and hard blocking up front, Bill Pfeiff s 25-man squad could run away with every game remaining on the schedule.

Of course, there is another ingredient always necessary for a winning team. That's the support and encouragement of everyone in the school.

Lincoln plays its first four games at home this year, which makes it easy enough to get out and cheer for your team. But don t forget that they 'i.vant you behind them all the way.

Make it a point to be among the crowd rooting for the Links in some out-of-town stadium too •

This year's opener with Omaha Central reminded us a lot of the same 'game two years ago, when the Links lost by a 14-13 count. That was our first defeat at the hands of Central in 27 years. Yet the '53 Links came on fast and finished with a 6-3 record and a ranking among the top five teams in the sta te. Chanc es are t!)e 55 ver sion could do even bett:P.r. for itself.

Dwight, (Du ck ) Meierhenry, starting center on last year's State Championship football team, had his share of tough luck this sums mer. While performing as an Optimists outfielder, he injured his right leg, which has been encased in a heavy cast for some time The injury forced him to miss the Optimists impressive tournament play, and the complete football season here. Another hard luck guy among Links linesmen is Mark Reimers. Mark broke his ankle in football practice a week ago and will probably· be out

Faure Fires Ministers

Although the military situation in French Morocco seems to be getting slightly better, the political situation is getting worse . In Paris, Premier Edgar Faure has fired four Gaullist critics of his North African policy-including Defense Minister Pierre Koenig.

The Socialist Republican party, followers of General Charles De Gaulle, decided to ask the ministers to resign unless President Rene Coty gives his assent to a plan for a national union government.

Things are looking better as far as fighting is concerned.

EqualityReigns?

Lincoln High students, along with people the world over, were shocked and embarr~sed when two white men from Mississippi were acquitted of' the murder of Emmett Till, 14-year-old Chicago Negro, who was thought to have whistled at a white woman. The case against the two men collapsed when five lawyers hired by the Mississippi white people, produced a coroner and a doctor to testify that the body found was too decomposed to be that of the Till boy. The all-male white jury was warned by the defense attorney that if they didn't acquit the men "their forefathers would turn over in their graves."

But just as shocking to us at Lincoln High, should be the prejudices which we ourselves harbor against individuals because of their race or religion. We live in a country where "all people are created equal." and we cannot remove the guilt we have, because of the times we have refusd to be seen with a person because of nationality clashes. So along with bitter feelings against the apparent injustice done to the Negro and his mother, let us realize our own mistakes and the intolerances that we practice. Let us also remember that there are good people and bad people, and worth is not determined by the c·oior of skins.

The suspects may be identified by a pained fa cia l expre ssion, and are tabbed as loafers: Tl.ie time of t;he crime takes place during test days, or when the criminals not have lessons prepared.

Caution! These criminals a,re armed with false pretenses and are often found in the vicinity of the nurse's office. A reward of no make-up work, for classes skipped in this manner, will be given to the persons who stop themselves before the crime is committed. That is all. During fall and winter , many students are attacked by the cold germ, and various illnesses which are more serious than "skipitis." These students alone keep the school nurse and her assistants busy, without having to take care of criminals too. So, what do you say? Let ' s abolish the "Guilty Students' Bureau" by not committing this crime at all.

Birthday To Remember

"Say, Clem, ·do you know what day the 14th is?" · ,

· "Can't say as I do, Sam, why? What's so important about that day? I'd sorta planned on goin' fishing and askin' you to go witp. me then."

"You mean you haven't heard, that ils President Eisenhower's birthday? Why, he's the most important man in this country."

"Can you tell me some more about our President? I don't know what's goin' on most of the time 'cause I don ' t get to town very often."

"Well, ·let me see. I know that he was christened David Dwight Eisenhower, but that he changed it around later. Texas claims him as ·one of their better products, as be was born there October 14, 1890, even though he lived most of his early life in Abilene, Kansas. He's also one of the finest generals this country's ever had. I know all this from my history class. I gue~s maybe the history teachers aren t.so bad after all."

"Thanks, Sam for telling ll}.e some of what you know. Guess I'll have to catch a big one in his honor. He seems to be one great guy. See you later."

Teenagers Take Notice

Teenagers are important. In the eyes of our parents and teachers, we are a direct reflection on them , and they are concerned with our lives. Though we're often called "kids" and considered "wet behind the ears," adults depend on us in th'e home, schools and community. Wehave social standards and responsibilities to meet, like anyone else. · We're at an advantage though. We've got energy to spare. Look at the sports, clubs, hobbies, dates , and school work too , that we · handle-and who's ever tired if an unexpected ;party comes up?

·

Yes , we've got top priority on energy, and being young and vigorous, .ye sometimes direct our energy to wrong channels. Rowdiness may sound like fun-but if we "live it rup" too often, we may never live it down!

We've got a big school, with lots of activities, so why not pitch in to workoff some · of that steam ? Let's build Lincoln High's reputation to "outstanding" and maybe we'll hear more of what we already know-teenagers are important.

In a recent letter to Mrs. Ruth Pinney she tells about listening to Radio Moscow on the car radio coming back from Germany, She relates how the news concerned events inside the Iron Curtain only, except the Geneva Conference. There was a lot of praise of · advances in grain production ?Jld

Senior Picture Proves .Asset

In All Ways

"Hi there, Hugo, have you had your senior picture taken yet for the Links?" ·

"Oh, no, you mean I actually have to pose tor some old photographer soon, so I can meet some deadline, my problems teacher has been talking about? "

"That right, Hugo, just a couple more weeks until the deadline, Novemq~r 15, so you'd better get shuffling along fast."

"But gosh, Sam, what is the use of spending a couple of dollars just to see my mug in the yearbook?"

"Oh, Hugo, you have completely the wrong idea. First of all, all your classmates want their grad· uating class to have 100 per cent representation in the senior sec• tion of the Links. Also the photographers are very generous ,this year and they are giving special prices on all pictures; · so that way you can trade pictures with some of your close friends."

"Say, that's a real George idea, Sam, and I just thought of something else Since I'm applying for a scholarship this year, my senior picture will serve as good identifi. cation. Other seniors will need identification no matter what they do after graduation -apply for a job or enter another school.

"Well, thanks a lot, Sam, for giving me all this low-down I'm going to look on the list in my problems class for the choice of photographers and make my ap~ pointment right away. I'm going to do my best to make 100 per cent representation for my senior class.

Are you planning to run for a county office? If the answer is y e s and you are a sophomor e, well, you better try next year. If you are a senior, you probably realize that you are a year too late. But if you are a junior then you're in luck. If you do decide to run for office, try to keep your campaign legal, and don't be like Jill Jones, who tried to sneak a campaign speech on sound When this failed, she tried the big poster nailed onto the painted wall After she removed the nails and refilled the cracks left, the sponsors urged her to use scotch tape on the bulletin boards in-· stead. Next she tried bribery; Jill gave everyone bubble gum, and on the inside of the wrapper there just happened to be a little note ,urging everyone to "vote For Honest Jill.' When Jill lost the election she was very. disappointed because she had worked very hard at unwrapping gum and rewrapping it, and nailing nails in one of those walls really takes strength. So don t be lil<jeJin; obey the rules and have fun. Happy cam• paigning to you all.

Have you ever stopped t()"think what a different school this would be without light globes? For instance, you couldn't see where you were going in the halls; so you'd be late to class, which would mean staying after school to make up the time Bad, huh? Or, you might walk the wrong girl to class, thereby getting into trouble with the right girl. Bad also. Then too you might walk into junior girls' glee and, well -the dark does have its advantages. Yes, the light ·globes are necessary bec ause no one likes to stay after school, get into trouble with his best girl, and nobody, but n<>body likes to go to the girls' glee.

AFSStudentsEnjoy Livingin Europe

Among Lincoln High students having a "grand" time this summer were the four students chosen by the American Field Serv· ice to spend the summer in Europe. Susan Fraser stayed in Switzerland, Dick Seymour in Germany, Bob Theede in Finland, and Sally Williams in Germany.

Susan stayed with two families in Hanhart, Switzerland. According to Susan, there are few cars and many bicycles.

"The schools are quite different. They have more i;ubjects and gtress foreign languages. They are more like our universities in that they lecture," stated Susan.

"Parts of Paris are beautiful but some of it is dirty," was Sugan's comment.

Dick stayed in Holland, Germany. He stated that most of the boys wore leather pants for school wear but the girls dress the same as American girls. "The school emphasizes acquitjng knowledge • rather than becoming good citizens " "There are almost no dates and they are mostly group dates," stated Dick. Services are much cheaper there than here. One can get a haircut for approximately 30c. "There are no speed limits, which is interesting," Dick commented.

Staying at a summer home in Mikkeli, Finland, took up most of Bob's time. When asked what impressed him most, Bob stated, "So many t~ings, how can you single out one?' Their eating habits differ from ours in that they have only two regular meals and Athree in which coffee is served. Most families belong to a church but never seem to attend," said Bob. "Finnish girls are ve~ nice, ya, they are," says Bob, who dated a girl from Finland and one from sweden.

Sally stayed with the Broeker family JDNorthern Germany. "The thing that impressed me most was the way in which- Germany has rebuilt itself after the war."

Their clothing is more conservative than ours, seemipg to be three years behind the United States in

Hope or Fear?

Atomic energy-when you hear or see these words, what picture comes into your mind? Is it one of horror and destruction? Or is it one of progress and peace? The picture that will become a. reality is up to you. Atomic energy is everyone's business, and every American should make it his business to find out all he can about it.

All of you have heard about what happened at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. An Abomb is µncontrolled atomic energy. But, do you realize that bombs as devastating could be dropped on any American city~ yes, even on Lincoln? The destruction would be even greater because the bombs of today are so much more advanced.

However, if controlled, atomic energy can do much · to improve the world. Today, through application of atomically controlled substances called radioactive ·isotopes, the human body becomes as transparent as glass. In this way diseases, like cancer and tuberculosis, can be stopped and even cured.

Food would be cheap and abundant. People would live longer. No one would work long hours. All this can happen by the peaceful use of the atom.

Your stake is clear: it is the young people who have the most to gain or to lose in this crisis. There are three steps toward assuming your responsibility in this area:

1. become informed; 2. share your information where it will do the most good; and 3. develop your leadership and get people moving toward being informed too.

Know Your Class!

"Hey, do you know Joe Smith?"

"Joe Smith? Who's he? Never heard of him."

"Well, he's a senior at Lincoln High ... don't you even know the kids in your own graduating class?" And that brings to light a very unthoughta.bout subject • • . do you know the kids m your own class? With all the hu:rry and scurry of school activities, plus the extra curricular ones, we sometimes find ourselves talking to the same people an<'.)-doing the same things over and over agam, and too busy to even give a thought to the students sitting across the room, whom you've never met before.

There are so many people to 'meet and so many new interests that can develop from new acquaintances! Let's get to know our classmates and -then the doors to broader interests ;nd fuller outlooks will open. You , ' might not know the pleasure you re m1ssmg by dismissing strange names from. your mind. It only takes one hello, and .a smcere smile, to get acquainted.

Freedom Prevails

There was a hush in the huge coliseum. Everyone was standing, and every eye was turned upward. What was this ma~el, this sensation that could change a cohseulll: ofnoisy rooters into a unanimous, qm~t group? Just two things, the red, white, and blue flag of the United States, and !'; song entitled '"!'he Star-Spangled Banner, played by the local band!

The old folks complain that the younger generation doesn't have that "old feeling and spirit." Does America still have the feeling of freedom that the first settlers had? Because of the great advancements that are being made, are we becoming too selfish and greedy to appreciate our democracy?

Yes, in America, there is a spirit of nationalism, loyalty, or whatever name Y?U give it. The spirit of freedom prevails whenever a flag goes by, the "Star-Spangled Banner" is played, or whenever children in school read for the first time the preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America. As long as these simple observances of freedom continue, we'll always have a free democracy.

Pfeifrs Links Cooperate Cooperation, that's a handy thing to have around. Know someone who has a lot of cooperation? Bill Pfeiff. Yes, the football coach. Without it, Pfeiff's Links would be at the bottom of the list in the standings instead near the top. Each player has to be in a certain _spot at a certain time. ·One boy knows he 1s to receive the ball, and if at all possible, he's there to receive it. What about the other boys? They're right in there too, tackling, or guarding a certain player on the other team. Yes, these boys work as one force, instead of a bunch of unorganized kids playiny fo6tball in Johhny's back yard. · That's cooperation.

lnternational Services Held

For Ve!s Day

November 11 wm be Veterans' Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, which celebrates the end of actual fighting in World War I on November 11, 1918. The Congress of the United States made this day a legal holiday in 1938. Most of the Allied countries also commemorate this event. The Brit. ish Veterans' Day services are held in front of the Centoph in London, the French at the Arch ·of Triumph in Paris. In the United States the celebration is centered at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery. In many places throughout t h e world, a period of silence is observed at 11 o'clo,ek in the morning, the hour at which the fighting stopped.

Last year on Veterans' Day the Marine Corps Memorial was dedi• cated; Ellis Island, entry point for 20 million immigrants during the last 62 years, was closed; and Attorney General Herbert Brown• ell .announced that future immi· grants would be carefully screened before reachinlf this country. Only time will tell what events will take place on this memorable day this year.

Little Slumber Teen Delight

A mother's voice was softly overheard, as the night approached, "To slumber, or not to slumber, that is the question." We find that Webster's definition of slumber is "to sleep, sometimes lightly; to doze." In contrast, a teenager's definition of slumber, when referring to a party is fun, excitement and pleasure.

Modern slumber parties are as much fun as a three-ring circus. The usually quiet home is changed by teenage magic.

Wonderful smells come floating from the kitchen. Popcorn is popping wildly in the popper; cokes are being opened for all the many thirsty mouths; sandwiches are quickly made from different concoctions; and the taffy pull is still going strong. No taffy accident is too much of a tragedy, when a good pair of scissors can be found.

In the far corner, a new hair style is created - presto a duck tail, thanks to the taffy.

Downstairs Arthur Murrays and Fred Astaires are being discovered and made_ All the latest be-bop records are pounding out the sure beat. The piano is getting its work· out, too, in the living room.

The fielil ls still in surprisingly good shape though, considering the traffic that has been trampling it this season. Llneoln teams playing games on the oval this year incl\lde the Lin• coin High varsity, reserve and sophomore teams, Southea&t High, Cathedral High, and four midget football teams. Roy Colson, Lincoln's state dlamp tennis coaoh, will soon be wearing the khakis of the U. S Army. Colson left for his physical Monday and has assured us that he will passit.

Students Find Faults In School ECA System

Dear Editor, For some time now, there has been a great deal of discussion concerning the Lincoln High School "Extra Curricular Activ ity Points" system. I think that in order to bring out the reasons for the dissatisfaction with the present system, we should first consider what the purpose of it is. First of all, it is to give credit where credit is due to those .students who put in their time and effort in extracurricular acitvities for the school; and second, to regulate it so that the same people don't "do everything." However, at presen t; it fails to do either of these satisfactorily. "Unbalanced" Points The points are "unbalanced." That is, they aren't being given in proportion to amount of work done and time and effort involved.

For example, gymnastics, which a . . . an S has a 14-week season, receives only five ECA points, while track re-

Band Adds Spirit!

It takes a gifted observer to appreciate the elements of an excellent public performance of any kind. Some of these elements of excellence are not seen by the observer, however. They are the hours of grueling practice, the patient and inspiring work of the coaches, arid the work done by the unsung heroes, the reserve team.

One of the main contributions to the excellent performance at football games this year has been made by the Lincoln High Band. They, too, have ' put in many hours of grueling practice, which individ~ ually has reached back through the years. observer must have heard various school bands perform to recognize the subtle, effective contribution given by the band to every cheer. The skits that offer entertainment at the half are more than the ordinary band gives. The excellence of the allover performance would be hampered without the loyal and martial spirit only the music of an excellent band can give, Here's t,9 our band!

Prom or Banquet?

Hey, juniors and seniors! What kind of a party do you want this year?

This is a big question to be decided. :which would be the most fun, a JuniorSenior Prom or a Junior-Senior Banquet?

In the past years, it has been the tradition at Lincoln High to have a banquet, 'but some students believe it would be more fun to have a. prom. Can it be that Lincoln High's students prefer dancing to eating?

And. who shall be invited? Should just the juniors and seniors be invited or should it be changed so that any junior or senior at Lincoln High can invite anyone he wishes?

This is a big problem for all juniors and seniors to decide. Make your choice and then let the Advocate staff or the Student Council know. Whether it's a prom or a banquet, be. willing to support it. Don't let thla yea.r's party be called off like last year's because of poor participation. The seniors should especially want to attend, since this :will be one of their last high school events.

Let's Raise Attendance·

Fifteen thousand ninety-eight. This is .a pretty big number" But it isn't just any old number. Fifteen thousand ninety-eight represents the number of people who attended the five home football games. This means an average of 3019 people saw each game. · There were 4050 admissions on student activity tickets. Of the students who did not purchase activity tickets, 1039 went through the gates. Of adults 9089 purchased tickets for the five games.

Having an average of 3019 people at each game is a fine record. However, the sports season does not end with the close of the football games. Starting in December, the winter sports begin. There is a .sport for everyone's interest. Let's try to have as good an average-or better yet, an even better one at the close of the winter sports season.

A Senior Student Dear Editor: I have notice d one flaw in Lincoln High that h as been brou ght to the attention of many this semester. That is the ECA point system. As it now stands, on_e.s~udent may only have four act1v1tles ar,d 14 points a semester . What'sthe Objective? In the first place what is the ECA point system for? Is it a system to insure that activities are offered· to all students in ·Lincoln High, or .is it to. show the time and effort one puts into an activity? I think the main object ive should be decided!

Carefully analyzing the card on which the ECA points are given for each activity I find that it seems to make .little, if any, sense. For instance, a Student Council member receives five points, for an activity which is actually a

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and the ques t ion in this issue is one of tremendous importance to all who enjoy Thanksgiving. Many people have pondered this question with great thought.

Signify Thanksgiving?

Roast turkey and d r e s sin g, mashed potatoes and gravy, pickles, olives, relishes, hot buttered rolls, salad, cranberry sauce, corn, fruit, and pumpkin pie piled high with whipped cream and chopped nuts. Is that all that Thanksgiving really means to us?

Do we actually realize what it i.~ like to be free to do as we please? To worship as we like, to live where we want, to work at a job which we like, to see tile movies we want to see, or to listen to our favorite radio program?

Do we take all of these and the hundreds of other freedoms which we enjoy for granted?

Two or three weeks before Thanksgiving we can opert a newspaper and find advertisements · showing pictures of big, fat, juicy turkeys with all the trimmings and the stores at which to buy them.

We can look in a magazine and find recipes and articles on

how to select a turkey, how to prepare the dressing, stuff, and roast the bird. There will probably be some garnishing suggestions. Then there are alwayi, recipes for all of ·the other ·foods which ·go along with ·the Thanksgiving dinner. You can go into a five and ten cent store and find candy counters filled with candy shaped like tur· keys, pumpkins, and ears of corn. On the next counter you will see numerous decorations, and paper hats which. arereplicas of the ones which· the pilgrims wore. So that's what Thanksgiving is. A day which is given a big buildup. A day in which we stuff ourselves. Maybe people are so busy preparing · for Thanksgiving that 'they forget wbat they are giving thanks for. Just to ourselves, why don't we think of every day as Thanksgiving, and every day think of a reason to be thankful?

LHS Good Sports

In the history of

and

our athletes have had to be good winners a lot more than good losers. We all know what being a good loser means: it is repeatedly impressed on us. But few realize the attributes of a good winner, because it ia so much easier to be one than a good loser. · Picture this. You're dead beat, but playing hard, for a dying cause. The horn sounds at the end of the game with your team trailing 63-50. Then the giant you have attempted to guard all evening steps up grin• ning, slaps you on the back, and jubilantly spouts, "Nice try, pal, even though you knew we were going to win all the time." We can imagine the average red-blooded American boy's reaction. Fortunately, though, these comments are not typical at Lincoln High or anyplace else, but just one tactless boob could get a whole team (or school) hopping mad.

Just remember this. It is always more dangerous to handle a wounded animal than a healthy, undamaged one. ·

And by the way, let's hope Lincoln High keeps on 'having more good winners than losers,

Honesty Best Poli~y

"Hey, Sam, you've got to help me with my test this afternoon. If you'll just move your paper to the left of your desk, we'll never get caught. I've just got to pass this test " "Sorry, Joe, no can do. It's too big a risk."

If you were in Sam's place, would you have turned Joe down? Or gone along with him?

If Sam had complied with Joe's request, and the teacher had caught the boys, who would be blamed? Why, Joe, of course! But would it really have been all Joe's fault?

Sam prevented trouble easily by a simple "No," yet if his answer·had been "Yes," the results might have been serious. Of course Joe was wrong in asking anyone to cheat for him, but Sam would have been just as wrong if he had done it.

If fewer people would say, "All right," and more would give Sam's answer to questions like Joe's much of the dishonesty on tests could be prevented. If you'r~ guilty of doing things for the people who don't or can't do their own work, why not help them before the test? You'll both -come out happier!

Pupils Not Informed

Most Lincoln High pupils are not very well-informed. Why n6t? Don't they think it pays to be well. informed about current affairs in the world? Many incidents in our country prove that being well-informed is important.

On December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese. A great amount of destruction was done to the United States forces because Americans had been almost totally unprepared.· Going back even farther into our history, before World War I, America was even less informed.

In 1950, the conflict in Korea called for armed forces once ·again. Boys in Lincoln High, then, as now, had to face the possibility to draft after graduation. President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, "Not without interest in world affairs, on the· part of every citizen in the United States, can our country become a real arsenal of democracy."

Library Serves Many!

''What .is a treasure house with an open door?"

The word "library," meaning a place where books or written documents are kept , is the answer to this question. Actually, the. high school or public library of today has much more importance.

First of all, a high school library is a workshop, and any senior will verify this. But· it may also be used as a center for all sorts of school activities. You may find stu dents using the magazine ·indexes to find up-to-the-minute articles on questions of the day to use for class discussions. Also there is a lot of material for projects, which i~dividual classrooms take up. Have you ever considered going to the library for idea's for costumes, programs, techniques for a play , skit , or speech?

Besides its use as a workshop, high school students can· find the library useful as a storehouse for the record$ and progress of civilization. Could this be helpful in your history classes?

In high school, a library has many uses -, us as students in our school work and rning to be good citizens. Why not take 'UZZ up to Room 300 soon?

Improved Parking Lot Earns Commendation

Dear Editor:

I am glad to break a newspaper tradition by giving recognition ·to thoughtful consideration rather than to careless destruct ion. It is all too easy to find fault with our streets , schools, and community. Many times we miss an opportunity to express our appreciation fyr a job well done. I feel me improvement of the student parking lot is well worth commending.

Formerly, when it would rain, you could hardly cross the mud puddles and when outgoing cars went through them you were apt to be a ·mass of mud. Now, with the crushed rock on the lot, even in rainy or snowy weather, you may cross the lot to your car easily and remain clean. Not only that but you need not fear getting stuck in the mud ·in the lot any more.

An orchid should go to the person who is responsible for the im· provement of our parking lot.

LBS Students Aroused

By Unfair Practices

Dear Editor: I think it is only ne c essary to bring to the attention of the rest of the school the unfair way of which· Joy Night Central Commit• tee was picked. 29 Years Ago

As the sponsor of .Joy Night this year is a new teacher, she couldn't possibly know more than about one-tenth of the pupils at Lincoln · High. Yet Central Committee was picked from this o1'le-tenth. Certain members of the committee are incompetent, yet they had known the sponsor last summer and seemed to have been' picked on a basis of friendship, not capability. A minority of this group has been on Central Committee before. Why not give other people, who are just as capable, if not more so, a chance?

Lincoln . High is becoming less democratic every year! Greatly Disturbed!

"If only I had done it once or twice before, it wouldn't be so bad." I tried to maneuver it into the required positions, but I just could not seem to make it go the way I wanted. Finally I heard the teacher say, "That's all for today s driving lesson.'' Whew, what a relief!

Inferior Ratings Cause Discussion, Suggestions

Dear Editor:

· I'm a little confused on this idea of inferior ratings. It seems to me that the only word some teachers d~light in writing is the word "infe r ior." I had heard that there was a rule that a teacher could only give a person one inferior rating for one act of b'ad behavior. I have heard from many different pupils that they are getting four and five inferior ·ratings for only one minor thing. Is' this fair? No wonder there is so much ju~ venile delinquency! If a person is only recognimd for the· bad thi,ngs he does then why won't he continue to do bad things! It is my opinion that a teacher is more apt to remember a pupil talking in class than an angelic person who behaves perfectly in class all the time. Why don't the students find out about it when they get an inferior rating? There may be two sides to the sf;ory and what may look like bad behavior may not be. Why doesn't the student's permanent record tell who gave the inferior rating and what for? If an employer comes back to Lincoln High· School to look on the permanent record of liis employee he doesn't know whether the inferior rating was given because the pu· pil stole $50 or because a student was disliked by some teacher. An Interested ·Student

Authorities Tell Of Experiences

In Engineers' Dreams, by Willy Ley, Ley describes the idea of building a tunnel beneath the English Channel, a dry land link between England and C9ntinental Europe; a vision of a floating plat• form in the middle of, the ocean, where a plane could land and replenish its fuel tanks or outwait a period of bad weather; and the dream of putting volcanoes and .hot springs to work, using their sceam and hot water to drive eng;nes and to heat -cities. This is an intriguing book, with special appeal for high school boys. Speed, Speed, Speed, by Phyllis Fenner, is a masterly collection of 14 stories by writers who know, at first hand, the excitementand danger-of high speed. Everyone is crazy about speed. When you take a trip, you are not asked, "How far is it?'', but instead, "How long will it take to get there?" In The Hydrogen Bomb, by Blair ,. Shepley, the reader is taken behind the scenes of the Atomic Energy Commission and the White House while some of the most fate. ful decisions in American hist.ory \ ,;ere being made.Back in 1949 Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer led a group of United States scientists in vigorously op· pcsing the construction of a hydro· gen bomb, while. President Harry S. Truman was almost impeached for the same reason.

Performs Three-Ring Circus Riot

Dear Editor: Why don't teachers realize that students are only human like themselves? Everyone has his days when he wants to jump for joy, or on the other hand, when everything seems to go wrong. I think that a pupil should be notified l:!efore he is given an inferior rating. After all, he has no chance to defend himself on the matter for which he received the inferior rating, and he might not be guilty. And there is no such thing as a "little" inferior rating. This is a mark that stays on a pupil's school record throughout his life. So please give the student some consideration before' marking down an inferior rating. Peeved '! here is one in.

'A Motorcycle Special Christmas Man' Brings Presents

By DIANE STOHLMAN I

~Twas th~ afternoon before Christ- ·

mas vacation, when through Lincolri High's halls, Not a creature was stirring, not even principals, The overcoats were hung in the lockers with care; · fo hopes that 3:15 would soon be there; ' . ':Fhe kids were nestled snug in their problems classes, 1 · While visions of next year da~ced before their glasses.

A Real Meaning

Christmas has its own meaning to every-

It is a time of rejoh;ing and happiness, but have you ever wondered wh~re the old familj~r Christnias trees and decorations originated?

Many ~urrent cu~toms date back in l:_lome way to pre-Christian origins. The Romans ornamented their temples and homes ·with green boughs and flowers; the Druids gathered :mistletoe, (that's the best custom yet,) and hung it in their homes; the Saxons used holly and ivy.

It is generally believed that the first Christmas trees w~re of German origin,' dating back to the eighth century. Accounts persist that Martin Luther introduced · a tree with candles. German immigrants brought these customs to America. But are these customs the real meaning of Christmas!

· To some, it means a time of giv!ng and receiving gifts. To others, it means getting out of school for two weeks. Some, how.; ever, have caught the real spirit of Christmas by going to church and hearing the Christmas story retold in all its beauty and simplicity . What does Christmas mean to you?

·Programs Praised

TB Seals Aid Many

This Christmas, for approximately 100,, 000 people in the United States, there will be something more important than Christmas trees with their colored decorations, carols s11ngby choirs, or gay greeting ca:r:ds. To these people, the most; ·important thmg will be a. small article caUed a Christmas seal. You see, these people h ave a disease called tuberculosis, ·and to them, thi s small sticker symbolizes helP. a~d ~ope. · The costs of hosp1tahzation and medicine for this terrible. illnes s are great, and most victims of tuberculosis cannot assume large responsibility alone. ~"\t, if all Americans will buy Christmas 8NhJto use on lett er s and cards, thes e people can be helped.

Cr-iticism of Committee

Has Student Displeased

Dear Editor:

I was very much disturbed when I read the lett er critici zing tlie Joy Night Central Committee by labeling some of the members as being incompetent, and sayi;ig they were picked b~cause of "buttering up" the sponsor. Miss Weatherby, who has been here at Lincoln High for several years and knows the student body as well as anyone, and who, I would say is very competent, assisted i::l th e sele ction of the committee members. I would like to know who could do a be tte r job. It seems self-evident that the writer of that lettei was very much htµ"t be cause he or she was not · picked for the committee. That s quite n at ural, I suppose, put tt hurts me to think that there are some people in Lincoln High who would begr udge the ones who did get picked, so much as to hlake unfair and untrue accusation about the committee and their sponsor. I m sure that p er son

Ike Wants To Cut Debt,

President Eisenhower has said the budget will be in balance this fiscal year and next. He did say though that a tax cut would be justifiable only if it would not put the government into the red again Eisenhower told Congress the nation's outlook is br ight with promise" even though Soviet leaders have shown they aren't quite willing to make conditions for secure and lasting peace.

Eisenhower's legislative program also called for : federa! aid to highways, farm legislation, federal aid to school building, a slum clearance pro gram, creation of a · bipartisan commission to investigate charges that in some places Negroes are being denied the right ·to vote, statehood for Hawwaii, and revision of the immigration law. Jordanese Mob Against Pact · Screaming, yelling, violent mobs stormed through tl:)e Jordan capita] of Amman and the Jordan section of Jerusalem protesting against the Beghdad Pact

Mobs probabl y , according to the two cities, were disturbed by fears that the resignation of Premier Ibranim Hashem meant the undoing of the government decision to stay out of the pro-Western alliance along Russia's southern borders, Arab Legion troops, finally called out toward evening, fired rifles and tear gas into the demonstrators in both cities, killing one of the rioters. Ike's Name To Go on N.H. Ballots

President Ei senhower's name will be entered in New Hampshire's first -in-the-nation presidential primary March 13 without White House objections in what could be the first definite sign that the president will seek another term.

Mak:eYour Wishes!

Have you started your act for Joy Night?

Probably many of you are wondering whether to try out this year or not. What if everyone felt this way? There wouldn ' t be much of a show, would there?

For y ea rs Lincoln High has been known for having a good Joy Night show E'1ery year, hundreds of d u ~<>n:ti:: tryrn,~. Although not every. -act g et~ a part --n -we show, it still gives students a chanc~ to try out their originality and to practic_e performing. The students that get . m the show have the privilege of performmg before the public.

Joy Night may be a lot of work for the perform ers and all the committees connected with it, but there's always a great joy in putting on a show well done Joy Night h a s a lways b een considered very good for an amateur show. · Make this year's Joy Ni ght one of the best that Lincoln H ig h has ever had. If you haven't started your act, then you'd better hurry. R emem ber that try-outs are February 6 and 7 and the theme is "If I Had One Wish." There ' s not much time left.

Eligibles, Watch Out!

For years it h a s been the cust~m for ~en to propose, that is, ex~ept ~uri~g a leap year. Then women gam this nght. Although the modsrn female is not apt to use this privilege, it st ill remains proper by an ancierft law which was started in Scotland in 1288. · It may take hard work to become a bachelor of law, a bac h elor of art or a b achelor of science, but it -takes equally ·hard work to get an eligible bachelor rating - and keep it. This is made especia lly hard durin g leap year · So, girls! If you~ m a m aim is to gam that certain guy, then now's your chance. It's your turn to pop the question. Rem e mber that you won't be getting this privil ege for anoth er four years.

'Fight, Team, Fight!'

Throughout the histo:ry of _ schoo l pape rs the editorial u sed th e most is prob a bly the one urgin g students to support their school teams. However, that isn't a mai n problem at Lincoln High. The ·P eppers and many oth er students att end all home gam es , a nd oft en those out of town. They l end their spirit to the t eam, and try to let the players on the teams know that they are supporting them. But · sometimes it seems that team spirit is lacking, and mayb e it's b ecau se th e t ea m doesn' t think the rest of the stude nts want them to win.

So "Fig :llt, team, we're with you!" All the students are behind you, and here is your chance to show the great team spirit you can have.

Old Rivalry

Cortina, Italy was the scene of one of the world's oldest a.nd keenest rivalries the Olympic Games. In this rivalry u~like most otheryi1 sportsmanship and ability have been more 1mp"rtant than power and propaganda.

·

But these days it seems that even here the struggle between East and West can't be forgotten. Both the United States and Russia feel that defeat would mean a tremendous loss of face. Russia's intensive government-supported athletic program, : a!med solely at producing Olympic winners, paid off in the Winter Olympics. · Many Americans are very disturbed over our poor showing. But if we use their tactics, the games will become just another battle,ground in the cold war.

· Besides, isn't it a little early to get excited? The competition is just beginning. By the end of the summer there's no reason to believe that United States athletes won't have brought home just as many honors as they always have.

Abe's Name Revered

The gifts that a great man like Abraham Lincoln gave to his country are many and will probably never be completely counted.

One that appeals most to many is the tremendous example he set for us to attempt to reach The value he set on human beings no matter what their race, creed, or religion is a value we seldom see exhibited. His ability to develop such a great person~lity from s.uch modest circumstances 1s an ideal example of what can ·be done with the opportunities off.ared by a democracy. An attribute most lacking today in leaders is his feeling of responsibility for his fellow man.

It is Abraham Lincoln, the man, that gives the most poignant meaning to this tiay we celebrate.

a Cold?

"Oh~ mudder! I jud cad go to school today. I have sueh a tewwible code " Many a mother has heard this phrase This person evidently has what is called the common cold, accompanied by stuffy • head, sore throat, and all. Now a cold might come in mighty handy right before that dreaded piano recital, or before a big history test. Yes, a cold can be a mighty handy thing. But wait a minute! Before you rush out and roll in the snow with your ·swimming suit on, remember your favorite date asked you to go to the prom. You can't carry a box of kleenex in place of the dainty gold handbag you bought. Better take your pick. Either a history test, or no prom. · · That's it! Surely you wouldn't miss the prom. So bundle up and avoid a cold!

The Supreme Court has ruled segregation to· be uncon'." stitutional, but since occurrences of · this sort have not completely stopped, it is plain to see that a rule alone cannot change the attitudes of people.

The Mi.ddle West is known to be the least prejudiced section of the· United States, and yet, while little violence is displayed, sometimes racial, religious · and national attitudes are not the best.

Good attitudes are as necessary to a good school as they are to a solid natio~. So, every student should be aware of his own attitudes and strive to accept people in an unprejudiced, American way!

A.re ¥ ou A 'Knocker'?

Have you ever known a "knocker?'' You surely have met a few of them. · A normal "knocker" is the guy who just couldn't lower himself to go to the school picnic or who considers Keentime "strictly for squares." He's the hot-sh.ot who hasn't the time t9 vote in school elections, or join a school club. You'll see "knockers" skippinig pep assembies, laughing at kids buying tickets to school parties, or talking during sound announcements. It's too bad that there are such things as "knockers," but it's even worse that they have such · a large following. For every ''knocker" there are at least three or four admirers. These are the little guys, who have never learned to stand on their own feet, who have to have someone to look up to If everybody knocked a "knocker," there wouldn't be any "knockers" knocking, would there?

17 Operators Assist Cavett

Alva Cavett, audio-visual department head, has announced that seventeen' new boys have signed up for running the many movies seen by Lincoln High classes.

These boys must know how to operate two kinds o,f both movie- and slide projectors in - a:crcrt1on · to runn1ng ··rape recorders. Splicing film anci recording tape takes some of their time too since they are held responsibile for all breaks.

With him are : Gary Bostic, Chuck Dorsey, Brian Etheridge, Dan Hall, David Kimm, Larry Maul, Jim Meisinger, Mike Schu• macher, Ray Shepard, and Bill Siever.

Losing Out?

"Gosh," says Frank, one of the more

ligent seniors, "I sure wanted to take thil.t Regents' exam. But they tell me that I just missed being in the top 25 per cent of the class."

"I can't take it either," says Phil. "I tried hard enough to make it this year, but it was just too much after those easy junior and sophomore days."

Here are two seniors who have just real~ ized that you ' ve got to get to work early if you want that Regents' Scholarship to the University of Nebraska. Their sudden realization won't help seniors much, but maybe it's a good thing for the sophomores and · juniors to remember.

We know everybody's had this stuff about studying pounded into them all their lives, but now that it might mean some extra change r..your pocket for those college days, it just migt. be worth thinking about.

Of course, e1Lvone quarter of the senior class will get a en.nee at it , no matter how many people knock -b,eir brains out studying. But here's hopint,somebody who has a good chance to win dutin't get knocked off bec a use he loaf ed aroun'c...and didn't get the grades.

Tragedy

Foul on Number 62 Jackson, Smith shooting, one and one A hushed silence fell over a ·group of girls in the stands Were they waiting to see if the player would make the point? Of course not They were breathlessly listening to some gossip about a fellow classmate

Meanwhile, back at the game, Tonto, one of the players , dropped a very, very long shot right into the basket. A female from the ranks of another girl group exclaimed, "Gee, that was good!" Was she commending the player? Of course not. She was referr ing to the chocolate malt she had just finished.

Over in a corner, some boys, this time, were commenting thus "Such agility, and so tall, too. He must be quite an athlete " Now they must be talking about someone on the team, you say. Ah, but on further inspection, you discover that their subject is a boy dangling from one of the steel rafters, apparently aiding the scientific theory that man has evolved from the ape. Well, Heigh · Ho, Silver. Off to the tournaments. And by the way, be sure to bring that book you're reading; the game surely won't be interesting. Or have you heard that games are played at tourna• ments? I thought not! Becauseweren't you one of the group I saw?

BY ROGER ROSS

An ex-Lincoln High footballer has an interesting job in athletics at the University of Nebraska. Paul V. Schneider, who played Lincoln High football in 1933 and 1934, is now mending football and basketball players as head trainer at the University. Upon interviewing Schneider at the modern training room, I found that much study and preparation are required to carry out his duties. In high school Paul Schneider carried a college preparatory curriculum. After entering college, he studied many specialized courses in anatomy, physiology, etc., and now has a Bachelor of Science degree.

Gym Meets On Schedule

The varsity and novice gymnastics teams are preparing for the coming city and state meets and both should prove to ·be exciting events according to Coach ·Phil Sprague. In the city meet, March 3, Northeast, led by Gene Barclaye, should give some close competition to the Lincoln High g y m n a s t s, but Sprague expects good action from · the Links Bob Martin and Jim Wertz on the tra,mpoline, Jim Heffelfinger on the high bar and in tumbling, and Dick Byers astride the -side horse, as ·well as from the rest of the team. Sprague's defending state champs will receive a fight in the state meet from the Beatrice team which lost only one letterman this year. The all-day meet, which boasts the rings, the side horse, and tumbling in the morning, and the horizontal bar, the trampoline, and the parallel bars in the afternoon, will be held March 10. Want to see it? Phil Sprague says, "We would always like more spectators."

Scottsbluff gains a slight nod on the basis of early season play. Omaha University No. 2 may pro· vide the closest games but Omaha North should be able to take the title Vv'.iththeir stiffest competition from Fremont. ·Regardless of the results, however, this year's State Tournament stacks up to

A second-baseman for the state champion Optimist team this summer, Yogi went to the National Junior Legion Baseball Tournament in St. Paul, Minn., and ended up the National Batting Champion with a batting average of .389. If you ever hear a "What d'ya say ruff," and see a 6 foot 3 inch senior mope along by you, you should, without a doubt, recognize Roger Greenlee, letterman, in his junior year on the basketball squad and one of the two retut'nirtg bas- , ketball letterbearers who will probably go out for baseball this season.

Junior-Senior Party Again Being Planned

Plans are again being made by the Junior Class for a junior-senior party this year. According to Harry Kuklin, Junior adviser, most home rooms favor an informal dance, instead of a banquet which has been the rule in past years. One suggestion w.as

Housing Needed

In

every year. Lincoln High has been privileged in the past to have at least two or more of these students attend here each year. Now the problem of housing these students is · becoming more and more apparent. If housing cannot be arranged, then no students will be able to come here, therefore disqualifying Lincoln High from the privilege of sending its own students abroad. Volunteer to house an exchange student, to help your school, and to help further ou r nation's foreign relations.

Spring Party for All

"H-ey, ·Sue! Have you heard about the neat Spring Party the Home Room Reps are planning?"

"Sure, but what good will it do me 1 No one around here will ask me anyway."

"Maybe not, but it's going to be for _all five Lincoln high schools, and anyone with a Keentime card can come, because it's free."

"Gee, that's swell. I know a neat guy from Southeast that's been asking. me for a date. Now I'm sure to get to go."

Sue and Mary went happily on to class, while Jini, who had boon standing nearby, thought, "Gosh, now all those guys from the other schools will be ·cutting in on our dates. I'd better hurry and ask someone, before they all are invited." ·

· How about it? Have you :made your plans for Friday, March 16, yet? Let's show our school spirit by really being represented at the Lincoln High Spring Party. If the hosts are all present and having a good time, the guests wiH feel more welcome.

Lose with Dignity

Were you at the Lincoln High-Northeast game Saturday?

If you were, you no doubt watched and participated in the pre-game yelling contests, trying to see who could yell the loudest. It was fun, wasn't it?

Why, then, after the game started, did the yells turn to boos? Surely the referees are better qualified to call fouls than the students are, or they wouldn't be refereeing. This booing recently received comment · from a Lincoln newspaper. It certainly doesn't help our reputation.

Also, why is it that after the game, a group of boys have to "get" the other team's star player, ~cause he made too many points? This is just as childish as crying because we lost, or because the other team "sWled" out the few remaining minutes and didn't give us another chance to score. Students of Lincoln High, faculty, and parents of the boys on the team should have been just as proud of our teani Saturd&y night as they were Friday when we were victors over Grand Island. The boys tried just as hard, or harder, to win Satur.:. day as Friday, but Northeast won th~ g~me fair and _square and deserved to win Just a.a much as Lincoln High did.

Outstate schools think it an honor and great accomplishment if they defeat Lincoln High in any sport If we must lose, why can't we lose with dignity?

Closed Corridor Closed?

"Now be careful! Oh, Jim, hurry! Oh, oh, here comes Mr. Weyand and that's the end of Jim." · Now don't feel sorry for him. Jim is one of those untalented creatures who just can't read. He gets his words mixed up, words like ''open" and "closed." And he doesn't seem to want to know the difference.

Y-0u see every noon his locker is between two red signs and that five minutes he I;as to wait is just unbearable. So with a quick look over his shoulder he's off and running, hoping to be lucky and not get caught.. But after he gets that lunch and 1s m the clear does he go and eat? Oh, he wouldn't think of it until after he's discussed the coming party with Joe and watched Sally walking down the hall. Oh, no, guess what time it is? Jim has to be back to class in exactly two minutes and 11 seconds. No time for lunch, now.

The corridor signs are in the hall for a good purpose-to ensure quiet for classes still in session-not to inconveni.ence you. Let's show our appreciation to tb.e boys in the machine shop who made the signs, by heeding them.

that the cost of the tickets could -be kept down. Should Dance Be Limited? One big problem must be solved if the dance is to be a success. That is, should the dance be limited to only juniors and seniors? Some junior and senior boys date sophomore girls,and some junior and senior girls date boys who are out of school. This reporter asked about .'iOrandom seniors what they thought and most of them wanted to be able to ask other than jun. iors and seniors. But it seems that most juniors want to limit it. New Attitude Needed? The real question is, what is the purpose of the junior-senior ·party? It is supposed to be a way for the juniors to honor the gr aduating seniors. But if anyone can come, it will be just another dance without any special point and Lincoln High already

an abbreviation for the Greek word, "Christos," meaning cross. After signing any wills, deeds and other documents, the signer wo··.ld put the X and would often kiss it more or less as a pledge of good faith. The gesture was comparable to putting the hand on a Bible or crucifix while making an oath. Thus the X became associat.ed with a kiss. Another interesting fact about the "love and xxx's" is that during the Second World War the British government issued regulations forbidding sailors to use it in the signing of their letters for fear that spies might use it as a code. In 1942 the American militany censors forbade soldiers stationM abroad to use such symbols in their letters going back home, also, for the same reason.

She was student director of the Mummers Play. Coed Counselors and Joy Night are included in her , many activities. · · International relatione proved to be her favorite class, and her ·favored expression is "This is a precarious situation." Dorothy expects to attend the Umvers1ty of Nebraska next year. Ross McGlasson, reporter and last semester's business manager for the Advocate, has been a home room representative and alternate, participated in sophomore football, and lettered in swimming. · Miss Hall's trigonometry class is his fa. vorite, but his interest in inquisitive girls triumphs over interest in math.

"Do you not see," he' said, "how in this wild flower, three leaves are united on one stalk, and will you not then believe what l tell you, that the!l"e· are indeed three persons and yet one God?" Patrick answered the question by holding up a shamrock leaf, as an example of "Thr~ in One."

Thus the association of the shamrock and St. Patrick beg,an. In accordance with St. Patrick's Day and the honoring of the Irish, here are two of the many fine Irish books which have been written. Son of a Tinker - by Maurice Walsh--:-isa new book of romantic fiction and a unique, honest-togoodmiss.story ol an Irish lad. A

tinker's son, one who makes and sells pots and pans, who was very dissatisfied and anxious to get ahead in the world, attempts to win the heart of the red-haired daughter of his employer. The employer's evil son tries to kill the tinker, but this daring Irishman outwits him and gains the girl's hand as well as her father's respect. The Faith of Mrs. Kelleen-by Katherine Fiannigan - is a true .story based ont,he life of "Mrs. Mike's great-aunt. The ·episode takes place in keIand eighty yea!'s ago, but the emotions which compose it have always contended in man s heart through the ages. In this story, ,Jove,justice, and goodness conquer hatred, injustice, and evil. Ali Mrs. Kelleen has at the time the story opens is her son Rorythe pride of her life. Her husband and beloved little daughter have just passed away. She is looking forward to Rory's marriage to a lovely Irish girl, Mary, and to a contented old age with her Irish setter, Bessie.

He is past president of Camera Club, se,t?retary of Aeolian Choir, and ia a member of Inte.rnati-Onal Club. Choir is Rolf's favorite dass, and he said that he enjoyed participating in this year'a opera. · In Germany, soccer and ping-pong took up much of Rolf's time, but his American in terests lie in girls. · · Rolf will attend one and a half more semesters of school to graduate in Germany • He added that he would like to study languages at the University of Heidelberg.

She wondered what on earth these boys wert doing and why they were dressed in th9:.t way.

· AB they came nearer she recognized several ·of her friends among the group. She called out, "What in the world are you doing'?"

The boy in the lead, Jim, answered, a bit embarrassed, "We are out for track." Jane pondered a minute and decided she would look into this track business and find out what it was all about.

Wisecracks are the trademark of Bill Danek. This blond and stocky senior is on Student Council, was in County Day, Joy Night and Aeolian Choir. He doesn't like girls, but somehow manages to pretend otherwise. Trips out of town seem to bring back some of his fondest memories. Bill's favorite expression is, "As they say in Russia ... " He reports his pet peeve as "a typical dave." Bill spends quite a bit of time listening to jazz records and next year he will study Business Administration at the University of Nebraska

"Big" isthe word for Mjke Morley, a good.natured senior who was the "Pirate King" in "Pirates of Penzance." He says that being in the opera and singing with the Boys Octet have been his most enjoyable activitie s at Lincoln High this year. Mike seems to be the philosophical type for his favorite sayfng is "C'est la vie Girls who claim they're too fat, and are always dieting, annoy him. Like many other seniors he will go to the University of Nebraska next year.

Never without a joke is Linda Walt, a short and sweet senior who flashes an "L" pin. Linda is Student Council president this semester and says she especially enjoys planning -business with th e vice-president. She has be eri.a varsity and apprentice cheer• leader , Winter Sports Queen, and in Joy Night. Last semester she was managing editor of the Advocate. Linda's pet peeve is "people who hand me air raid warden cards," and she can often be heard saying, "Can 't hear you, got a banana in my ear ." Her plans for next year include the University of Nebraska.

A summer in Germany was a big thrill for Sally Williams, one of last yea r's American Field Servic e candidates. She is president of International Club this semester. She also has an "interest" in England. M~be that's why she is always saying "Blimey Sally can be seen third from the left in the Girls Octet and she has been in County Day and Joy Night. But Sally is probably best known for ·her car ( ?) a '38 Plymouth. Her pet peeve is boys who bend license plat es.

Home Economics 12 classes took a fteld trip to Morrill Hall, March 9, to visit the art galleries.

The purpose of the trip was to acquaint the students with the different · types of art according to textures, type of paint used, back, ground surf~ce and various other factors, They picked out the pictures they particularly liked and disliked. After returning, they discussed the good and bad points of the pictures they had picked, LeRoy Colson, chemistry teacher, announced that next year the chemistry lab will be equipped with new desks, new equipment, new ventilators (so the halls won't be filled with smells), a new· library, and other things. He added that this will enable more students to take chemistry and they will enjoy it more.

If one had by chance looked in on the machine shop Saturday, March 17, 11 strange sight wonld have met his eyes. Hard at work were all the boys and their in1tructor, Cla~de Wingrove. Th e

only difference from a regular class session was that they took a coffee and doughnut break in the morning and were joined then by William Bogar. The boys had taken an afternoon off sometime during the week and were putting in extra time.

Duane Ulrich has Invented and designed a roulette wheel to be donated to the boys' gyin for noon activities. He and John Madsen are putting the finishing touches on it. The new foreman for the second six weeks is John Madsen. On March 16 the boys .saw mov, ing pictures of a modern coalburning steam locomotive presented by the Norfolk and Western Railroad, Wingrove commented that it was probably their last chance to see that type of an engine because the Diesel engine is fast taking its place

A foreign language should be a pleasure for the students," said Miss Valeria Bonnell, Lincoln High's German teacher. "Therefore my students read e:;,,erym onth the Jugendpost (post of the youth), which tells them about life and inte r esting places in Germany."

Miss Esther Lefler has announced the placement of f o u r more girls in the Lincoln H i g h School senior placement program.

The girls and their respective jobs are: Bonnie Clough, Lincoln News Agency; Kathleen Larsen, Lincoln Supply; Biruta Tigeris, Verne Hedges Abstracter; Kay Flachman, Farmers Mutual Insurance Co.

Famous Athletes Received Award

With the advent of spring, senior awards will soon be rolling around. One of the most highly-prized of the awards, the Harry Sidney Dobbins trophy, goes to the senior that has been judged the most outstanding in both scholarship and athletics. The first award was given in 1913, and was established by the parents of Harry Sidney Dobbins who died while in Lincoln High.

Most of the recipients have gone on to become famous not only locally but nationally. Many outstanding names can be recognized easily such as Wes Jungemeyer, who became an outstanding basketballer at the University of Nebraska; Cecil Hartman, who lettered in football and track at Nebraska and is track coach at Omaha University ; Verne Lewellen, football, basketball, · and baseball star at Nebraska who turned into an outstanding football player with the professional Green Bay Packers; and Jug Brown; who captained the Husker pigskin squad in 1927. Willard Witte eventually became athletic director at the University Qf Wyoming and a member of the Nebraska University Athletic Board. Bernie Masterson, one of the better-known winners, was another Nebraska star and went on to become head coach at his alma mater. The late Dr. Bob Morris held the Nebi:aska high school record in the mile run. Paul Amen, winner of nine varsity letters at Nebraska University in three sports gained fame as assistant coach at Army and will soon take over as head football coach at Wake Forest University.

Experiences of AFS Participants Toldby Foreign Exchange Student

BY ROLF MEYER

In about three months, seven Lincoln juniors will wave a ·last goodbye to their parents before leaving their homes in the United States · for three months. They· will spend this summer in "the old country" in Europe. All four selectees from Lincoln High, Jim Cadwallader, Kate Haggie, Judy Hanneman, and Bill Orwig, and three students from Northeast High School have passed the final selection of the Amerii::!l,Il field Service in New York. Probably every one of the 700 American teen-agers who partici· pate in this year's American Field Service exchange program , hll5 thousands of questions. "What is it like to be in a foreign country

Well, here is the perfect chance for you to attend one of the most different occasions of the year.

· This dance turned out to be a great success last year and all of the students had · a lot -of fun. Since this dance was supported so well, the Student Council has decided to sponsor the party again this year. So let's have everybody support the Masquerade Party, and maybe it can become an annual affair.

All you have to do is dig up an appropriate costume for a "ship wreck" theme, and you can't miss having a tenific time. By the way, girls, it's leap year, so grab a date for one of the most unusual dances of your life.

Do Your Duty-File

4'.Hey, Sam, heard the news? Filing for Student Council starts soon. Shall vie give it a try?"

"Are you kidding? I wouldn't have a chance in a million. It's always the same kids that get those things. I'd just be making a fool of myself."

"No harm in trying, I always say.- You might be surprised at the results. I don't know about you, but I think this is a good chance to show your school spirit."

"School spirit? I don't follow you there.''

"I think spirit is measured by your interest and participation in school events. rm interested in getting a hand in the plan.;. · ning of these new activities, and Student Council is the group that does it. Even if I don't get· on, I'll ·feel I've done my part by giving my support to an important school election!" ,

"Maybe you're right there. I guess t~e reason that it's always the same people 1s because these aren't many others whi;, are interested enough to give it a try."

· "Now you have the idea, Sam." How about you?

Spectators Wanted

''Stee-rike three! Yer out!"

The umpire roared his decision to Hany Home-Run. And from the bleachers came no yell or comment whatsoever: "Why, you're crazy!" the batter stormed. "That -was a ball if I've ever seen one." "Be quiet," the umpire retorted, "or you'll go to the showers."

Still no response from the spectator section. By now, they should have been roaring their disapproval, for Hany Home-Run was the best man on Lincoln High's team. Why weren't they? Becal_\se only a _ few interested people dotted the cheering section. Or had you forgotten that hardly anyone ever goes to support our team at the baseball games? Why is thi8? Surely the weather is as nice for baseball as for any · other outdoor sport. Th~ team deserves :prai~ too, for they've won the state ch~mp1onshlp for the last two years.

Baseball season is just beginning, so for the games this year, let's show that we -are proud of the team and attend every game. Is baseball really America's favorite pastime? Prove it by helping to make record crowds this season.

'Jobs Coming Up!

As we near the• end of another school year, Lincoln students are again faced with the problem of getting a summer job. Lincoln, in the past years; has had enough jobs open to take -care of the greater share · of students. Students who enjoy working outdoors are faced with an open door to opportunity as construction · workers , lifeguards, ~nd ~any other positions. , · ~tudents preferring the mdoors can fmd the fulfillment of their taste as sa les clerks, stockroom workers, stenographers or in other indoor positions. A new minimum wage law was passed last year to insure people of wages of $1 per hour at least. This may encourage more people to apply for summer jobs. Every person has an equal chance to get a job. Now may the best man win in getting the best job first.

Jr. Girls' Glee Keeps Busy

The 82 members of the Junior Girls' Glee, under the direction of Miss Dorthea Gore, have been busy the past few weeks, working on their act for Joy Night, and learning new songs to be sung at the junior high schools. During the ye ars, the glee participates in two concerts in the vesper series give;i by the Lincoln Public Schools, performs in two assemblies, plans and gives a Joy Night act, and makes annual trips to the various junior high schools. The outfits which the gle e wears are ·selected by the members themselves. The officers of the group, which this year include Carol Vermaas, president; SharonEllsworth,, vice-president; Sarah Colby, secretary; Jackie ,Moralez, treasurer; and Pat Myers and Judy Hanneman, l i b r a r i a n s; choose various combinations, and the rest of the girls vote on them.

This- year's outfits are light green blouses and dark green skirts.

Carol Vermaas, as president, is also given opportunity to direct the group at any time when Miss Gore is absent or busy at something else. "Since Carol is quite interested in music, and plan!! to take it in the university, it is good experience for her to practice in front of a large group," Miss Gore said.

He was able to get Egypti an and fsraeli Premiers to agree to honor the 1949 armistice cla use prohibiting any "warlike acts" against each other.

Cairo reported that Hammarskjold had won Premier Gama! Abdul Nasser s agreement to a plan for reducing border tensio ns by creating a buffer zone extending 550 yards on either side of the frontier within which UN military representatives would patrol. Israel's Premier, David .Ben-Gurion, was reported agreeable to this plan. Russian People Learn of Party Change

Services Praised

Most students don't fully appreciate the work of the faculty until they are graduated, and can look back and see the efforts that their teachers put forth. When a member of the faculty is "graduated," instead, it · is much easier for the student body to recognize the service involved. Otto W. Hackman, assistant prin-

and dean of boys for 28 years, is now graduating" to retirement.

His work has been that of a dedicated man. His patience and understanding have been as much a part of Lincoln High's tradition as his well-known conferences with the "school-skipping" boys. We might add that this was probably the least enjoyable aspect of his extensive work. A tribute is that which manifests respect, allegiance or gratitude. We pay tribute to Otto Hackman.

\ Sentencing an Issue

The current Parker Case in the Lincoln District Court aroused wide interest among the public, not only in Lincoln and Nebraska, but all over the United States. One of the major issues of the trial was "Capital punishment, or not?" · In 24 states of the United States, persons who are sentenced to die, are ~lectrocuted, so that the death results in a few minutes.

An other death without suffering is the execution in gas chambers, which is used in seven states. In Utah, condemned persons may choose between being hanged or shot.

The Federal Laws of the United States 1ay that murderers, kidnapers, and criminals may be punished by death. But many peol>le, not only in the States, but all over the world, are opposed to a punishment by death.

Many religions are opposed to the death penalty. "God has created life; and only He shall have the power to end it," is the belief of many · churches. Sociologists are also against capital punishment. They say that every human being, when he is born, is good. Only wrong education, bad influences or surroundings have changed people to criminals. With much help and understanding, these criminals can be led back to the right way.

Now 35 American states, including Nebraska, have the law: "Condemned persons may be sentenced to life imprisom:;nent instead of death, if the jury recommends it."

This option allows the judge and jury to decide what type of criminal the accused person is, and to sentence him accordingly.

Think-Then Join

"Hey, Jane! Have you signed up for Peppers yet?"

"Well, I don't know if I should or not, because I don't like to go to the football or basketball games."

"That doesn't make any difference," exclaimed Mary.

"But if I'm not interested in the games, I wouldn't be showing any school spirit, and I thought that's what Peppers were for," remarked Jane~

"Yeah! but everybody else joins anyway, whether they like the games or not."

"I know," said Jane, "but you have to wear the same uniform every Friday for about six months, and by that time I would be sosick of it that I wouldn't want to wear it anymore even if there were another ganie."

"I guess you're right. Maybe I should think it over now before I join. Because I'm not interested in the games either, and I'm sure I couldn't show school spirit if I didn't know what was going on in the game. Thanks a lot, Jane, for h~lpi~g .D?-e make my decision. I'm glad I didn t Jom first and then find out my mistake!"

Bought a Scribe?

"Hey, Sally, remind me to bring 35 cents tomorrow, will you? Scribes go on sale, and I don't want to forget."

"What do you want a Scribe for? It's just a bunch of poems and long-hair junk."

"Have you ever read one?"

"Well, no, but it sure doesn't sou~d very neat!"

"Oh but it is! Lots of kids that you know ~an really write. Since the students do the writing, and members of Writers' Club decide what's printed, it's just full of things that are good to read."

"So it's good! I just can't afford it!"

"Surely, you can dig up 35 cents! Even if you don't have an activity ticket, it's only 75 cents "

"All right, all right, I'm conyjnced! Gee whiz, you're sure anxious to sell them, aren't you?"

Marble Stairs Cause Many Bumps, Bruises

Dear Editor: · Lincoln High has a Student Council and also a Safety C~mmittee. What are they doing to make the school safer? I'm speaking of one item in particular, the shiny marble stairs. To some they may appear decorative, but to students who have to use them several times daily they constitute · a safety hazard. A person can even fall up the stairs when hurrying to beat the bell, but falling down can be done · without exerting more effort than walking. Is the answer to watch ·where we're going? If it is, then incoming sophomores should be instnicted to be prepared with a back pack for books and to keep their eyes constantly trained on the floor. If there is some good reason that nothing has been done, a lot of people would like to know what it is. Are we going to wait until a leg is fractured in addition to the already numerous, and painful, bumps, bruises , and c r a ck ed bones? A potential casualty

STJipwreck Big Success;

SC Thanks Students Dear Editor: The members of the Student Council want to thank all the students who helped so much to make the Shipwreck party a big success. We hope that everyone had lots of fun this year and that next year the party will be even better. One hundred twenty-nine tickets, forty-nine more than last year, were sold, which shows the student support. Also, thanks to the Advocate staff for publicizing the party so much. It helped a great deal. Thanks again to everyone who contributed to the success of the Shipwreck party. The Student Council.

Track Fan Angered By -Spectators' Attitude

Soup, Olives, Peanut Butter, All Included

"Of course. The short story I wrote for English class is going to be in it! Don't forget to buy one!"

Dear Editor: Being an ardent track fan, I have as yet to miss a home meet. Lincoln High fans have always been very sportsmanlike to visiting teams. But how about being sportsmanlike to our own? By this I mean don't laugh when they lose. This may sound funny to some of you, and · to others a bit queer, but if you attended our last track meet, you would know what I mean. Boys Town always brings down some reserve relay teams for our reserve boys to compete against. At the last meet, in one of the reserve events, we were just outclassed. When it came the turn for one boy to run, his team was far behind; so what did he do? He tried as hard as he could to catch his opponent, probably a little bifl. too hard, because he sprinte~ too fast the first lap, and left nothing for the final, when he fell far behind. All the fans were laughing as if they were Milton Berle's twin brother The thing that irked me was that most of them could , not have made the second lap, and there were a few who were so far out of shape they couldn't even have run one lap. But they were still qualified t.o laugh when one of our boys finished his run. In the future let's follow the advice of one of our head coaches, . "All blow and no show will onever win."

Comments Expressed On Themes

Are all seniors taking home eco·nor !ics this year? You may think so when you see them carrying what look like recipe cards. Actually, they are working on their senior themes Sophomores and juniors may be wondering what the requirements for senior themes are. The general requirements are : an outline, 1,000 to 2,000 word length, footnotes, bibliography, and they must be written in ink or typed on one side of the paper. Each class sees three films, How To Take Notes, How To Write an Outline, and How To Write a Term Paper, before beginning work. They ha-ve nine to ten days work in the library and one week of work after they are through in the library. Students also use a phamphlet, Preparing the Term Paper. Themes are kept by teachers. until the last day of the semester, although students may know their grades before that time. Are senior themes really worth the · time spent on them? Some seniors expressed th~r opinions on this subject.

''Hey, Suzie, pass the peanut butter and ~.·ackers," yells Live-wire Lizzie, who still seems to be awake at this hour of 5 a-.m. "Will you guys shut up so I can get some sleep!" bellows Sleepy Sharon, who feels that her friends don't realize that she has t.o be at the dentist's office in four hours. What is happening here? Peanut butter and crackers at 5 a.m ? No, i-t's not unusual; it's only a teen-age slumber party. The word slumber should be used with caution, for slumber is about the only thing that this feminine agregation doesn't do. They may do anything f r .o m swimming at 1 a m. to playing charades. One of the main pasttimes of the evening (rather morning), is ~ating. The menu for these little get-togethers is composed of ever .ything from soup to nuts, and no slumber party is complete without ripe olives. The party is never exciting unless a coke or some other wet sticky substance is spilled all over someone's blanket and pillow. All through the night numerous carloads of the opposite sex may be heard racing up and down the street (pipes roaring) much t.o the· delight of the neighbors. How do parents feel about these joyous occasions? They usually lock their doors and stuff cotton in their ears , and many a sleepdesiring father has been known to spend the night in a local hotel. Yes, these p,orties are a ha rdship on parents, and on the health of the girls, too, but they are just a par-t of the exciting experience of growing Up.

DifferentTypesof..Jeans

Found on LHS Males

It's a known fact that someone (,a boy, 99 9 per cent of the time) is always poking fun at the contents of a girl's purse, or the color of her lipstick, or even the size of her shoes. Well', fine feathered males, it's about time the tables were turned.

A sure way to play critic to most of Lincoln High's boys is to discuss an article of clothing that is possessed by the great majority of them. Whether this article of clothing is known as blue jeans, dungarees, levis, overalls (did I say overalls?) or plain blue pants, there's still much to be said about this popular fashion.

· One style that you may see in Lincoln High's corridors is the jeans (or whatever you want to call them) worn not at the waist, but nearer the appendix district. (This does not include people with high appendices or none at all.)

If some fiendish person were to give one little tug, there might be a "pantless calamity."

· "Second Skin" Type

Another style is the "second skin" type that is worn so ti.ght that it needs zippers on the knees in order to allow the boys to sit down.

A third type is the jeans worn · by our high-waisted l;ioys. These pants fit about one, inch below the arm pits. It's handy if your arms

Boy Sinks Money

In 'Custom' Car

They say that girls don't know Too much about hot rods and such, But I sometimes wonder if boys with cars Can hold money with such a tight clutch ' For I have here a tale, a lament: able tale About a machine that a boy had for sale. He had channeled the body and ·chopped the ·top Had piped it up-no heed to that cop, Frenched the headlights and louvered the hood Peeled that rod, really lowered it good. Changed · the tail lights, chan'ged the grille, A conversion formed by a Cadil• 1ac mill, And after he 'd spent more dough by the minute, He got o:.it of it nearly half of what was iii ;t,

happen to be too short to reach in your pockets. The manner in which these trousers are worn is only one critical field. There's always something to be said about the condition ofthe jeans. The pair that is washed only once a year is quite popular. They stand up alone in the closet, so you don't have to worry about hanging them up. They also solve the problem of carrying a handkerchief. "Here, just wipe your leaky pen off on my jeans." Washed Jeans Contrast In direct contrast, there's the pair of jearis that are washed, ironed (with creases, no less) and brushed daily. This type is usually worn with a white dress shirt for big occasions like Keentime. You can always spot a pair that have just been pulled out of the automatic dryer That rumpled, · tossed look could indicate that the family dog and baby sister were having a tug of war when hig brother wasn't looking. Don't feel too abused, boys, for you have one consolation. No matter what kind of pants you wear, it's a sure bet that, sooner or later, the girls will copy and wear them too. Jeans are no exception!

· Jane Schmidt said,"I think that writing senior themes is very beneficial."

"I don't think I was prepared enough before writing my theme," was the comment of Larry Te- Selle.

· · Badgie Evolga stated, "I could have used more time for writing my theme."

"I don't think we had enough time in the library, and there isn t a wide enough selection of books in the Lincoln High library," said Dick Hergenrader. "I enjoyed writing my senior theme," commented Sandra Ellis. Each student must put a lot of time and hard work into writing a theme, but he usually gains a great · deal more than he puts into it.

Do You Need , Vitamin H-W?

Do you have the "Six-weeks Sickness"?

· Some of the symptoms of this disease are:

L A certain sadness that creeps over you as you think of the grades you've made.

2 A nervousness that hits you · in the pit of the · stomach as you think of "Terrible Tuesday" and those little white sheets of paper

3. The over-working of your imagination as all your teachers seem to have evil gleams in their eyes.

4. A br eak-out of cold sweat on your forehead and hands as you try to please the teach~r with one last vain attempt.

5. A tendency to make twice as many mistakes as you usually do. If you have one or more of these symptoms, - you are probably suffering from Reportitis Cardimonia , a disease which strikes students of all ages, and is most prevalent after the sixth,' twelth, and eighteenth weeks of the semester.

Treatment of this disease ~onsists of Vitamin H-W (home work).

Book Room Aids Losers

What do you do when you lose a book? Just let it go or try to locate it? The thing to do is to go immediately t.o the book room, in Room 138. The book room has about 30,000 books, including pamphlets and magazines. Every ·rear about 100 books are lost. Usually the books are lost by sophomores because they have more books, naturally, than the juniors and seniors. The book room serves as the Lost and Found. Many students who lose something , just ask once and forget it. Bu t they ·should always go qack a second time to make sure it really isn't there. The book room also serves as a school bank. It handles the accounts of clubs, girls athletics and hoys athletics So you see, the book room has different ways in which to aid Lincoln High, and we hope every student will take advantage of it.

Track History

A two-volume set of the history of track athletics in this high school has been compiled by Har~ old Scott history teacher and track coach. Scott undertook this pro-ject as an interest or hobby because he wanted to have a complete record of Lincoln High track activity •as far back as possible. Every recorded · meet that Lincoln High tqok part in back to 1899 is included The book also contains a compilation of the hest performances year by year of all Nebraska high school track pa rticipants in Nebraska, as well as an all-time list of the best Nebraska high school performances since 1899. "This is a complete record of Lincoln High's achievements in track that can be found nowhere e lse," Scott stated. He used scrap books, Lincoln and Omaha newspapers as well as smaller Nebraska newspapers; Links, Advocates, and information from the Nebraska State Historical SOciety and the Lincoln City Li· brary. During the three and one-ha lf years it took to compile t he infor• mation, one of the biggest / problems was the di.ij'erent spellin g of the same name in va r ious new spa· per s. Scott sa id, "We have a copy for our library and athletic office , and soon will present copies to Nebraska newspap ers , the Advocate, and to various other pl-aces."

So that the students will know what is being done about these suggestions; a list of the most pertinent ones, and a reply to each, furnished by the Cowicil, follows:.

In '56 It's on 13th

Here in the United States it all began back in 1872 when Julia Ward Howe, .author of ''Battle Hyme of the Republic," made the suggestion. To her June 2 seemed like the best day, but not many paid heed to her suggestion. Much later, in 1907, Anna Jarcis of Philadelphia apparently thought the second Sunday of May was better and thus the present date was established. Congress had to have a hand in it too; so on May 8, 1914, they gave it national recognition. According to the 1956 calendar, it falls on May 13. What does?. Why, Mother's Day, .of course_

Tips to Girls After a Man

Library Old, Small

People who drive by the vicinity of 16th and N Streets are still a little amazed.

After 20 years of contrvversy, a new city auditorium is rapidly taking shape. However, if you continue down N Street, you will soon leave this progressive edifice behind and come in view of the city Ii• brary. This building was quite adequate in Willia;m Jennings Bryan's day. Its builders must have thought Lincoln had seen its best days then, because they made no provision for expansion. If Lincoln wants to have any sort of library service, there will have to be a whole new building. Library officials say there is no room for new books and magazines. The film and record departments are bursting at the 13eams. The reference room is much too small, as many Lincoln High seniors found when they wanted to work on their senior themes there. Poor wiring make the building a fire hazard.

• Lincoln can have a new building in two years by voting for it on the special election ballot, June 26. It could serve a Lincoln of 160,000, and would be expandable. Among the new services possible are drivein facilities, a fine arts and music room, a large assembly r0om, and a teen-age reading room.

Wishes Materialize

Have you ever heard a conversation something like this?

"I surely wish 'J' Street· were wide enough to allow parking in front of school."

"Yes, I do too. I also wish something could be done about improving parking in the student parking lot."

"Those are both good ideas, but we also need some improvement in the cafeteria."

Something is going to be done about them. These and many other improvements will be made this summer.

We are very happy to learn that Lincoln High is getting many needed improvements. They will add a lot to the appearance and convenience of our school.

It is only fitting and proper that one week should be set aside to honor the men who protect our rights. Th~nk for just a minute of all the men and boys killed in the last World War and in the Korean Wat.

Also think of those who were crippled for life. They will never be able to support themselves without help. Many will never know what it's like to be outside or to walk or even to see.

Sun Burn Harmful

"I'm sorry, sir, but there is nothing inore that can be done."

"But doctor, she's in such misery."

The~ words could be heard in the dimly lit hall of a ·local hospital last summer. For that matter, they could be repeated at this very moment anywhere in the world. You wonder why the girl is in such pain, don't you?

It's because she has third degree burns on half of her bod y No, not from fire or an explosion , but something as common as the sun. Now, don't laugh. Sunburn is no laughing matter. It has been proved that people have died from excessive sun burns. Also, su~burned skin is susceptible to canc e r. This fact too, has been proved.

Also dangerous are the widely used sun lamps. It seems to be the fad to see ~,ho can sit under the sun lamp the longest without getting burned. But, what is more important; getting burned b~dly or not having as nice a tan as your httle brother who forgot to wash behind his ears at bath time?.

Road Promising

Well, kids, this is it. You, the Class of 1956, are pullin' out. All of you are taking your biggest step ·so far on the long road of life.

As you look up t~at road, you see college, the right to vote, marriage, children, a good job, and a peaceful and secure later life.

But just stop a minute, turn around, what do you see? Perhaps off in the distance are your grade school and junior high. And not too far back is Lincoln High; you see a large, golden-colored building, with several steps leading to it. It was only three years ago that you hesitantly walked up those steps and entered Lincoln Hig-h as a sophomore.

You went to the basketball and football games to cheer the team, and afterwards went to Keentime dances. You remember Joy Night, and lhe Aqualinks show. You were anxious to get your Advocate to read who went where with whom, and you couldn't wait to get your Scribe and Links.

The senior year is clearest in your mind.

This was when the new acti\jties building and diagonal took form. And you can still smell the popcorn which became a highlight, the last few weeks of school.

Yes, you've had lots of, fun at Lincoln High, and you have lots to remember.

You'll remember always Graduation Day, for it starts you on that journey, and it leaves you and your classmates assembled together for the last time.

Take it easy graduation night; remember you're still a minor, so celebrate, but don't live it up.

Now look up that road again. Promising sight, isn't it? Just take those curves easily, be cautious, and obey the laws (written and unwritten), and you'll reacli your destination.

Good-bye, kids, and go~d luck.

Good Luck Wished

Several t e a c h ers, including Assistant Principal Otto Hackman, will leave Lincoln High this year. · While you are in school you never realize how much your teachers do for you. We are sorry to lose these teachers, but we wish them all the luck and happiness in the world.

Next year there will be many new teach-: ers coming to Lincoln High. We are looking ' forward to meeting them and are sure. they will be just as wonderful as those who are leaving.

Boris ls Bored

"Summer is here once again, !!,ndas usual, there will not be anything to do. Three solid months of boredom, boredom, and some more boredom

"WeU I guess it wouldn't be such bore- , dom if I tried to get a job, but who wants to work? Gosh, l just couldn't get a. job, why that would be awful. I won't get a job, that's for sure. ·

"There's the Elks Baseball League. But that wouldn't be any better than work. Just think how hard you would have to practice, and then you might not even make the team The Elks League is out! Besides, I wouldn't '" make it anyway. I won't go out for the Elka League, that's for sure.

•cyaybe if I went to some camp, the vacation wouldn't be so oad. But wait a minute. I can't go· to any camp. Why, just think of how long I'd be away from hoD1e. Besides, that would cost money, and if I don't work this summer, I won't be able to save any money, except for the dough I mooch off my folks, and I ran't mooch that tnuch, that's for sure! Well, I guess that I just won't. go to any camp." , T.he above was all taken from a conversation with Boris Boredom. The poor oid chap, j'!-At can't figure out what is wrong with hun.

Fun on Lazy Days

Book ·reports-''What a bother" is the usual reaction. Students argue that they take all the fun out of reading. But teachers say that most people wouldn't strain their brains with anything harder than True Romances if they didn't have to.

If you've always thought of reading as work, this summer is a good time to make it fun~- The library , will be glad to help you find a book to fit you, and if you rei,id the Advocate book column you've probably noticed some pooks that you tho11ght you mig,ht like but just haven't gotten around to reading.

There are going to be lots of afternoons this summer when it will be too hot to do anything more strenuous than turn a page. So just picture yourself under a tree with a big lemonade at your side and a goodbook.

Interviewed while taking off his stage make-up w114 Dick Buoeo • Jib high school sbage life has cpn. sisted of being in both clus plays, Mummers play, and last but not le~ being a senior speake~. He has also lettered in reserve baseball; been in National Honor So- · ciety, International Club, on the honor roll and was a delegate to Boys state. He frowns upon Miss Guhin's poetry lectures ·and plans to attend the University of Nebraska "if I graduate."

Here's one whose name is sandr a Ellis, but who is usually called "Pee." She has been in the senior play, Mummers, Clef Club, Joy Night, Aqualints, and Aeolian Choir. Her pet peeves are Stanfo,rd, California, and "people who make fun of my 20-20 vision." She ha., been known to say; "Can't win 'em all," and "obviously, yo i1 guys

Anyone know who the president of Future Nurses Club is? Why, it's Anne Gilbert of course. She has also been in Peppers, Horizon Club, and International Club. She lists chemistry u her favorite course, and gets peeved when a driver turns in front of her. Two years -at Wesleyan and t h e n nurse's trainiJlg will consume her future plans.

Slow moving Dick Gilland, v-ai"· sity gymnast, looks down upon people who are always in a hurry. He likes loafing in elementary design the best, but also enjoys playing the piano and swimming. He will

beoome .a college man next fall at the University of Nebrask-a.

Here is a person the sophomore girls should know. She's president of Coed Counselors and her name is Karyn Kahler. She's also been a Links writer, in Apollo Choir, and in National Honor Society. She goes along with most teachers ' in disliking gum crackers. To look at her you wouldn't th i n k she said,"When do we &at?" very often. Nebraska University or Wesleyan will constitute her future plans. The Marines will get theirs when Bob Martin graduates. A varsity gymnast, he also frowns upon preoccupied- drivers. Sounding like a typical gymnast, he lists study ~all end gymnastics u hi,i favorite subjects. ·

Third gymnast this time and an· other prospective Marine is Darrell Nelson. Have you ever heard him say, "I'll be bubbed" ? Neither have I, but he .says it. His pet peeve ii people who talk all the time.

She's a ·senior and you saw her in Color Day, With that hint you know that it's Mary Riley, winner of the GAA cup. Besides athletics, she has been · a Pepper and a Coed Counselor. Her favorite class .is modern problems. Her mother hasa: tendency to disagree with everything she says and that makes ·Mary a little perturbed. She says "Oh fudge!", maybe when she misses a basket. The University of Nebr,a:ska will have the privilege of having her as a student next fall.

Crinolines Cause Masculine Gender Much Excitement

Since aome girM!I don't like the 'W'&Y acme boys wear jeans, let the boys come b.ack with a few of thek pet peeves. Perhaps the most dominating of them all is that cr,ackly mass of fluff which moat girla wear under their economy size skirts. Now of course, -al1 of this ia ju&t fine as long as the girl is standing a ll by herself, a w a y from any object, animate or inanimate. :Sut just wait till she brushes against something. T h e mass is fiat on one side and on the other side, well, the skirt could just as well be tied to the ceiling. Seating Presents Problem

Also thia a all right until the girl tries, -and really tries, to sit down in one of those desks which they have in m o s t ctassrooms. First of all, before she sits down, she must pus between the rows of desks. This is most difficult. But after a few muttered "excwe roe's," if .ite is lucky she will .succeed. Of course, there is usually a carpet of books on the floor which hive b e e n accidentally brushed off the desks.

When going downstairs slie must find the 1tairway with the best ventilation; because that m akes her get-up more of a floating ob• ject. Anci.then, too, everyone must · .see it. After all, what are petticoats for• if they are not to qe seen.

Not Too Short Or Too Long Are Shorts!.··

I've b e e n told by many different people how extra, extria, extra, extra, extra smart I am. So now you know just how smart ! really. am. But you see, I'm not quite so smart a, people thing I'm smart. In fact, I'm beginning to think I'm not smart at all! Now you are supposed to ·be wondering why I think I'm not quite as smart as people say I'm smart. So, I'll · tell you. I may be pretty s m a r t, but when 1 see a girl wearing shorts, tqis question always ciccurs to me, "ls she wearing short shorts, long shorts, Bermuda shorts, or maybe not shorts at all, but pedal pushers?" · Now, short shorts, I don't have too much tr-ouble distinguishing. They are the kind that give the opposite sex the best view of what generally protrudes f r o m the shorts. But I run into difficulty with the newly-acquired fad of ·Bermuda shorts. The trouble is that I don 't k11<>w if they are long short shorts or short long shorts. Do ·you see what I mean? Anyway, if anyone can straighten me out so that when people say I'm extra, extra, extra, extra smart, I really will be, please write: Shorty Long 9700 Lollg Street Short, Lqng Island

Students Look -Bae~, Ahead To Activities; Say Farewell

What -a relief! This is w h at; everyone, from principals to custodians, is thinking today. Sophomores, looking back on the first confusing weeks, realize they ' are at last ·a part of this big, busy place. Already they are feeling their new superiority as upperclassmen.

For juniors, this has been a challenging " year, with triumphs and disappointments In t h e competition for all the activities Lincoln High-chreerleader, Student Council, octets, choirs, sports, clubs, publications-few have been · chosen and many left out. But no one can have everything the:itwant, and most people have f o u n d a satisfying place in the set-up. Seniors just can't believe it. Their feeling of relief and satisfaction is already being replaced by the realization that they are on their own now. For quite a few, this is the end of h'omework and report cards.

The answer can be found by turning the page upside down, but don't peek uriless you have to. Sports, especially bowling, and collecting records are the main hobbies of this girl. While at Lincoln High she has been secretary of GAA, vice-president of Peppers, treasurer of the Sophomore Class, secretary and vice-president of the Junior Class, and a member of Coed Counselors and National Honor Society. If you haven't guessed it yet, here's a final clue. This girl can easily be identified by the cast on her right arm, the result of a roller skating ac cident.

We've heardThere was a man sailing down the Congo in a remote part o"f the jungle. He u.w& native on the bank, and called out to him, · asking ·if he was civilized. There wa.s no answer, so the man came closer, and repeated his question. Still no answer, and the man docked the boat. Quite ·curious, he walked up to the riative, whereupon the brown:skinned creature howled, "Man,stay off my blue suede shoes."
