For Sop , homores Only Hey Judy, are you trying out for the sophomore dramatics club tonight?" "Oh no, l ·don't think I'll join any clubs." "Not join any clubs! Why, half the fun of high schoril is ente_ring school activities!" Yes Judy's friend is right. How much -fun would high school be if there were no clubs,' sports, pep rallies, · plays; and other · extra - cu r ricular act ivities? All these ac• tivities offer certain bimefits They all count towards National Honor Society and are recor ded on the individual's permanent record which is later used for college reference. The enjoyment and pleasure that is received from taking pa.rt in the · activities is immeasurable. The clubs our school offers give us a chance to develop our specific talents and hobbies. Attending athletic events gives us a feeling of belonging to Lincoln High. Last, but not least, getting along with others, a thing which cannqt be learned in classes alone, is learned through these group activities Let's all make our school and ourselves stronger by entering wholeheartedly into the excellent activities which our school offers

It's That Time Again

There is one memory any senior can keep of Lincoln High School and that is his Links. With a Links, one can remember clubs, sports, and his graduating classwait a minute! How can you remember your graduating class if there isn't a picture of every senior?

The deadline for senior pictures is approaching, so don't put it off any longer. Have your picture taken now! · You can't fool anyone when you say you can't · afford it. Photography studios give cut rate offers now especiaUy for seniors, and you get a picture that looks pro- • fession:a1 because it was taken by one. Stop spending so much money on entertainment. Save it! Then go to a qualified photographer and get that picture taken. Wouldn't it be nice if the 1957 graduating class was ·the first to ·have every seniors picture in the Links?

It's A Fad To Stand Vp

It is terribly annoying after purchal:!ing your lunch, to gaze around the cafeteria for a seat a.nd after finding one, only to have some one say, "I'm sorry, it's saved,'' or just "it's saved." We all know this is very annoying but let's look at it from .the other side, the seat savers side.

The decathalon, a gruelling con- perienc:es, then we were off for test comprising·ten events, is one of the most spectacular events in fo~ exciting days in Paris, the the Olympic Games.

'Programs, Ten Cents!'

Does this cry so1,1ndfamiliar to you? If · you attend the LHS football games, you no doubt have heard it many times. Let's take a look at these programs. Inside we find a picture of the coach and the team. Say, isn't that Sally, your best friend, who's on this year's cheerleading squad? Of course, there is the data on the team standing and the roster. Also, to test your ability to guess who's who, there are write-ups about two football players and two cheerleaders.

What was that signal the referee gave just now? Well, look on the page where the diagrams and meaning of the signals are given.

The Student Council has these programs printed for your information and enjoyment. It benefits you, the advertisers, and the Student Council. So, how about getting behind your school and supporting this project wholeheartedly. ·

·Danger Lurks Ahead!

Honk! Honk! Zoom!

;'Hey, watch where you're going!" yelled

Jack. "That was my foot you just ran over.". But the driver of the souped-up hot rod paid no attention to Jack's yells. He was too busy trying to catch up with the girls who just wen't by in the red convertible. Of course the girls were driving a little fast too. Had to get that front row parking place before someone beat them to it.

Does this scene sound familiar to you?

Well, if it doesn't, just step outside the front door of LHS during any lunch hour or after school. But be careful! You may be the next victim of these careless drivers. Or can you be found behind the wheel of one of these rolling wreckers?

If everyone would slow down and. be just a little more considerate of their fellow students, our parking lot would be a safer and more useful place for all

Do You Do This?

Do you take the Advocate for granted?

Do you just "expect" the Advocate to come out every other Wednesday?

It's just possil/le that it could not come out sometime. Our· paper is financed primarily by advertising. All newspapers are. If we ·didn't have any ads, we couldn't have a. newspaper. ·

Photographers gave the seniors real bargains in class pictures in the last issue of the Ad.-ocate; All the seniors had to do was read the ad. Businessmen know that students are some of their best customers.

If a businessman decides that he hasn't received any "extra" business from Lincoln High School students, he will withdraw his ad. Read these ads and then patronize them! They are the backbone of the school paper!

'Help, Fire!'

Fire Prevention Week is October 7-13. What can we do about it?

Every week should be fire prevention week, but the 7 -13 is especially stressed to remind us we have a job to do.

In the fall, things are extra dry and any slight spark ·will set off a fire. If you see some one with a lighted match or cigarette, remind them the danger of throwing it away just anywhere.

Here in school, we can he)p by having orderly !ire drills. The time mieht come when it isn't just a drill , but the real thing. Remember, we must follow instructions quickly and quietly It would b'e a good idea if we knew how each of our class rooms leave the building.

How about the fire alarms? Where are they? Could you work them in an emergency?

Let's all see what we can do to make every week fire prevention week, both at home and in school.

County Day Filings Soon

Say, Juniors! Do you have a secret desire to be a sheriff, treasurer, or attorney? Well, here's y o u r chance. October 15 and 16 are the days all interested Juniors are ·to register for County Day. · Making clever posters and passing out handbills is just part of the fun you will · have campaigning. All finalists of the primary election are· presented""1o the student body in an · assembly. The winners of the general election spend one day in their chosen offices with· the present office holder, leai:rung their duties. Then they attend a ltincheon held"in honor of the County · Day participants. So, Juniors, let's make this one of the best County Day's ever.

SC Convention Meets, Elects

''Nebraska High School Student Councils Face the 'Rig ht' Direction" was the th eme of the Sev• enth Annual Convention of ,the Nebraska Association of Student Councils held a t Northeast High School, October 13. Dr. Rex Knowles, university pastor, Presbyterian-Congregational S t u d e nt House, delivered the talk. To be in the "right" direction, individuals must b e loyal, they must learn to share with others, have opportunities to participate, and be inte r ested in the student council. People in the communit y must know about and appreciate t!Ye achievements of the y oung people, and every student should feel he is importan t to the success and welfare of his sc.lJool.

Kline Gives Three Points At t he af t ernoon session Donald F, Kline, executive secretary of t he Nebraska State Educators Associa• tion, spoke on "The Challenge." He stated that the good st uden t must have these three things to be useful to his school system ; to know what is right, ·a point of view, and a sense of direction.

with liberty and justice for all." Immediately the class sta~ed talking , after finishing the usual morning p~edge ?f allegiance to the flag. Every morrung this semester the class had stood together and saluted the flag, although very few ~ad been thinking about what they were saymg. In fact few have ever thought about what they s;y when they salute the flag. · ~at do we say? Let's analyze that famous flag salute. First comes the phrase : "I $ledge alle., · giance to the flag of the United States of America." When we say this we are making a solemn promise or vow of devotion and faithfulness to our flag, the flag of the United States of America · "And to the republic for which it stand~." What is a republic? Ac cording to the dictionary it is a state in which the supreme power rests in all its citizens. In other words, a democracy. This, surely, you'.ve at some time or another, heard Amer~ca called. In this second line you also promise your devotion and faithfulness to the democracy for which this flag stands.

"One nation, under God." In this you are pledging to a nation that is one and m~.i~ed because it is under a Supreme and Infimte Being. "Indivisible." This means a nation that cannot be divided

"With liberty and justice for all," shows a nation that stresses freedom and righteousness for one and all. · · Now that you know what these wor ds mean, why not try t~ think about what you are saying the next time you say the plefige of allegiance?. Don't be -a robot that JUSt says words.

It Starts Tomorrow!

"Bill, aren't you taking any books home to study?"

"Jim; you know: th~t the : nex~ two days are Teachers Convention, and we 11have vacation. I want to go to the movies and just mess around."

"Well, Bill , I think you could make a little better use of your time!"

Bill -is doing what many teen-agers are doing today. Too many students do not do as much work as they are capable of doing. There are many rewarding thiI),gs one may do during vacation. Perhaps during this vacation, you can read that book y_ou haven't had time to read before. If studies have been taking up a ' lot of your time and making you nervous maybe some good outdoor activities can reliev~ this tension, which has been building up 'during the first few weeks of school. A person can always work on his hobbies and interests. These are only a few of the activities one may choose to do. - · · ·

Many people who live -in th e .United S?,tes do not realize that they have more leisure time than people in any other country in the world. · Remember! Your time is very important. Make the r,n.ostof it! ·

Quiet! Genius at Work

The other day in an English class, a boy in a back sea,t was busy at work. Slowly but surely he worked, and near the end of the period his masterpiece was finished. There in big, bold letters <;>nthe newly refinished desk, were the initials E. G. This destruction of property is entirely unnecessary. A marked desk top is unattractive and presents a problem when trying to write a paper on it. · · Over the summer vacation, much time, effort, and money was spent sanding and refinishing the desks in many classrOO?JS, Let's improve · our school's appearance ·by not marking onthe desks and walls. Let our school be one we can be duly proud of.

'And They're Off!'

Are you guilty of ·using the school halls as a race track?

Yesterday Mary was walking down the hall when a boy collided with her. Sounds like an ordinary occurrence that may happen everywhere, doesn't it? There was just on~ thing wrong with it; he was running when :he should have been walking. Fortunately, Mary was not injured, but who knows wh a t may happen next time. Just what is the cause of this? There are five minutes between each class, and this gives people time enough to get from one class · to another.

If a person is kept after class by a teacher, he (or she) will gladly give him a pass to his next class if he asks for it. · There is no real reason behind it, kids so let's slow down and make our halls safe. '

Pagan Beliefs Still · Linger

This is the night, accord ing to ancient beliefs, that all witches mount their broomsticks and ride to the Great Sabbath where they hold unholy revels with the Prince of Dar kness Most of the games and tricks t hat are traditiOl)al for modern Halloween date· back to the belief that the elves and goblins abroad this night :know the mysteries of the future. Although Halloween is cheifly cele- · brated by children in outlandish costumes with masks, shouting, · "trick or treat, " there are still many superstitions we all, young and old alike believe in, especially on this eerie night.

After all, mixed _buses aren't the most important part of gomg to out-of~town games And Y<;>Ucan always eat after you come back to Lmcoln. · You can also go to the games with your friends. ·All you have to ?Ois buy your bus reservations and game tickets at the saID:e time.

For Seniors Only

Seniors! That deadline · is approaching! · What deadline, you say? Why the deadline for senior pictures for the Links of course. November 15, all seniors who wish to have their pictures in tl).e 1957 Links, mu st h a nd in a glossy picture to the Links Board Although several s eniors have turned ·theirs in, the representation is not as good as it is · to other important things. The Liri'ks is a challenge to the Links Board because they begin, knowing relatively little about putting out a year book, and always end up with one that the whole · school can be proud of. · · This year, we seniors want the Links to be esp ecially well do11e , because it is our last year, and in order to have a good yearbook, it is imperative that every senior be represented in their section. Don't miss that • deadline! · See you in t\le 1957 Links! -

al~ serve to remind us that Thanksgiving time is here again: bl f Once again we h-.ve many essmgs or which we are thankful. WE ARE THANKFUL FOR Freedom Food Peace Clothing Schools Our FanµIies The United Nations Let us use parts of Tom "Th~ Turkey" to illustrate these things for which we are thankful The heart of the bird represents freedo~. We are thankful that we are free to worship as we please. Also we are able to say w~at we want and to stand up for what we thmk is right, without fear of. reprisal. We are free to print what we wish. We h3:ve the privilege of ' going to the :polls 3:nd voting ~or the candidate of our choice, without having someone dictate how we sh<;mldvote. y;e can assemble in groups and discuss anything ·we wish. Freedom is the most important thing for which we should be thankful. Peace is represented by the backbone of the turkey. Although we do not live jn a peaceful age, our nation hasn't been attacked yet. Organizations, _s';lch as the United Nations, have been str1vmg for peace and many nations are cooperating more towards peace. We should be thankful that we have organizations such as these. Our plentiful harvests are symbolized by the legs of the turkey. We are thankful that God has blessed us with an abundance of food and materials. We should strive to help the less fortunate parts of the world by sharing this bounty.

Our families are represented by the wings. We should thank God that we have our par~nts to guide us. Also that we have sisters and brothers who are companions in the home. Through our families we receive · brotherly love and appreciation. These are only some of the blessings for which we should be thankful. · There are many more, and we should sing praises to God on Thanksgiving Day for them.

Are You- One -of These?

"Say Sam," said Jim, "what are you so excited about?" ·

"I just found out that I'm in the upper 25 per cent of the class. That means I'll be able to take the Regent's exams.- Did you make it?" ·

"No, I've studied hard enoug,h this past year, but I just messed around my junior and sophomore years."

Does this sound familiar, seniors? Well, suggesting you study harder won't help the seniors much, but it's a good idea for all juniors and sophomores. This suggestion

tion should prove very important to you. That extra studying may mean some spare money during your college days · Don't wait until your senic3r year to start studying and then miss your chance because you loafed around. Set your goal now to make that upper 25 per cent!

Are You Going to Attend?

Many important activities are coming up at Lincoln High in the next two weeks. Students are offered a variety of these at Lincoln High School. They also have the opportunity of participating in these activities.

One is the annu!!,lFootball Banquet which will take place tonight. This is a traditional Lincoln High activity at which time the members and coaches of our football team will be honored for their work and loyalty to the school.

We should show the team the appreciation we have for them, by attending the Football Banquet. Taking place Friday night will be a Thanksgiving Dance featuring Al Galante and his orchestra. Appearing with the orchestra will be Roger Williams, who became famous with his recording of "Autumn · Leaves." This is one of the leading bands today and will provide good entertainment.

Let's back the dance so we can have more dances like this in the future.

These are not the only things that will be happening. The Mummer's Play, "George Washington Slept Here" will be presented November 30.

It is a comedy and the cast has worked very hard to make it a success. Let's fill every seat in the auditorium November 30.

See you at the Football Banquet, Thanksgiving Dance, and Mummers' Play. Attend!

Gene Barnhill, a senior, is in his third year as a member of the varsity wrestling team. Last year he earned his letter ii:t this sport. Gen~ has al$o participated in varsity football, but he was knocked out early in the season by an injury. His unusual nickname was probably derived from his size. Gene is 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 173 pounds. However, he wrestles in the 165 pound class.

Barnhill's biggest thrill came last year when he won the city championship in hi~ weight class: His opinion of the team's chances this year is "darn good."

Gene's outside events include a thoroughbred horse and working on cars. His pet peeve is "hot engines," w h i 1 e his favorite teacher is Harold Gilliland ( the wrestling coach}. Gene's future plans include either going into the Navy or becoming a coast-to-coast truck driver.

Du11ne, b e t t e r known as "Dewey", received his gymnastics letter - last year in his first season on the varsity. He is one of the three returning lettermen who hope to spark the team to theµfifth straight state championship, and Duane feels that they will do just that.

Strough is a sotck 148 pounds and is 5 feet 8 inches tall. His biggest ·thrill in gynastics· canle last year when he placed second on the parallel bars in the optional division of the state ·meet. Duane's favorite subject is study hall and his pet peeve is Phil Sprague (the gymnastics coach}. His other pastimes include base• ball and "going out with the boys."

"I'm in a hun-y Joe. I'm on my way to a Joy Night meeting."

"Don't tell me you're going to be in Joy Night?" No, Mary doesn't know if she'll be in Joy Night yet, but tryouts are soon and then she will know if she and ·her friends will get to be in one of the school's most popular productions. What exactly is Joy Night? Well, to begin with, Joy Night is a variety show of Lincoln High School talent held every year around March and April. Students think up skits, etc. and try out. The Joy Night Central Committee and various other students and teacher judges pick the best acts and they make up Joy Night. It lasts for three nights in order to accommodate all the people who want to see it.

Throughout the .current controversy concerning the name of our school, ·LHS supportel'lil have gleaned available sources for some concrete "proof" that Lincoln High is ~>Urofficial name. This claim is substantiated by such things as the dedication program, but far more important than such evidence is the tradition whioh has been built up over the yearR. We have had and always shall have the element of time in our favor.

It has been stated that the · requested change in our schools name would be merely for the purpose of clarification. I fail to see how the addition of "Central" to Lincoln High's title would serve to "clarify" anything. Northeast arid Southeast High Schools are known as such throughcmt the state · and apparently have no desire to change their own names.

Although it is doubtful that the addition of "Central" would result in an immediate switch from the "L" to the "C" in our athletic awards it would be the first big step towards that end. While the other Lincoln schools are currently promoting neither the abolishment of the "L" as a symbol of LHS nor the adoption of it for themselves, · in time such a change might be considered.

Students of Southeast and Northeast have already become quite proud, as indeed they should, of their respective schools and those things which in a relatively short time have become associated with them, but why should they endeavor to interfer e with the very name. ofa school whose. tr.aditiQ!ls orig:inated half a century before their own.

An official alteration in the time-honored name of our school, no matter how. slight, would be taken by the majority of students as a direct attack on schoQl tradition. Without such official action other schools will be unable, merely through persistent usage, to affixe the !able "Central" to Lincoln High. Regardless of tp.e nu~ber or ~o- , cation of high schools within the city of Lincoln no "clarification". will ever be ne~essary. Fpr forty-four years the school building at 22nd and J streets. has be~n ~nown only as Lincoln High. It will remam Lmcoln High in the future.

Letters to the Editor

Dear Edit<>r:

As a member of the· varsity basketball team, I would like to make a complaint about the diminishing number of pep assemblies.

Since theb eginning of the Winter Sports season we have had only four such gatherings that I can remember. The~ special as- · semblies may seem a waste of time to so~e people, but as a · player I know the co~1dence it can give, especially before an important ·gan1e. During the playing of the game the player's concentration is centered on the floor action and he notices very little of what is happening in the crowd. These pep assemblies serve as a morale builder and outside of the coach they are the only thing which can show the team that the school is behind them, A PLAYER

• • • Since we are the biggest :µid oldest high school in Lincoln, we should have the benefit of having any name we want. I fihnly believe that changing the ·name of Lincoln !Jigh would not end the ,griping of those who wish to change our name for they would only find something else to · gripe a.bout. After all these years our envious cross town rivals ex pect us to throw away the name that has won us both fear and respect for almost 42 years.

· Will the near future see girls around LHS, or should I say LCHS, wearing "C " r,ins? Will we be hearing songs such as 'Cheer, Cheer For New Lincoln Central ?" If they wish to add the name "Central" · to "Lincoln High" we may as well make the addition of "Suburban" to the names of the other Lincoln schools.

I have one more idea to add. Maybe ·we should give the whole blamed country back , to the Indians, go back to the · old country, and start all over from scratch. · IRATE STUDENT

Previously orily ath!etics h_ave ' been able to rally those associated with LHS to such a degree as this controversy apparently has. AN ALUM

Alum Letter . Voices Protest

The proposed change in the name of Lincoln High School probably should be considered just another example of how growth and progress must inevitably be associated with change, and how change is sometimes associated with loss of many worthwhile things. Yet, to this alumnus of Lincoln High School, ~ven the inevitable must occasionally be opposed if only to show how the gain may be outweighed by the resulting loss. The only think that Lincoln High School possesses that is truly superior to newer schoois is tradition. We of the middle west are nQtorlously lacking in appreciation of tradition. We have been taught to live in the present, tolook ahead and plan for the future rather than to look back. Yet, who can deny the debt that we owe to the past? Taking away the name of Lincoln High School appears to be a yery potent method of elimffiating the one thing that signifief 1he superior tradition of this schol!ll. However, when that has been accomplished will it not also remove the inc ent ive for · newer schools to build up to the same level of tradition now achieved at Lincoln High School?

Throughout the controversy'i,incoln ;High has been in favor of leaving the names of all the schools the same and in effect that is what has been done.

The Student Council, students, and all persons who assisted in this campaign are to be congratulated for a job well done.

An athletic rivalry between schools in the · same city is only natural and competition of any sort between these schools can and should arouse feelings of favoritism and spirit among students for their own particular school. However, a similar pride for the city of Lincoln which students of all schools should have requires that we should support the other Lincoln schools in their competition with teams from other sections of the state.

As representatives of our city, Lincoln Northeast and Lincoln Southeast deserve support from us e x c e ed ed only by the backing we give our own Links.

Health Protection Offered

T. B. tests have recently been given to those sophomores who wanted them to determine whether or not an individual has or has had tuberculosis Earlier this year polio shots were given to many students. The entire series of inoculations is being given to Lincoln pupils. X-rays, dental inspections, and other health safeguards are also part of the schools' program.

These valuable health services are not fully appreciated by some of us By efficiently organizing mass programs to handle large numbers of people the expense that might be impossible for many to meet is greatly reduced. i We should certainly ' take advantage of and be thankful for these many opportunities offered to safeguard our health by our city's excellent health and safety program.

Classes All Year Long?

How would you like to have school go-

Jng on all twelve months of the year? Before you start panicking maybe a little explanation should be made.

Unde: a year-around plan you would still be reqmred to attend only nine months per YE:ar. Tlie year would be divided into quarters and a student would go for three quarters, vacationing the fourth Some students would have their three months off from November , to January, others from May to · July and sol on.

The purpose of this pla~ would be to ~ore fully utilize our educational facilities. A great waste of government money results from our schools standing va,cant thre e months out of the year. Schools are overcrowded and rearranging school terms would provide more space and less crowded conditions.

·

From a fin~ncial standpoint the taxpayers' dollar would certainly be going a lot further if such a year-around plan were adopted but stop arid think of the confusion that would be created among individuals.

Even if entire classes were kept intact, 'vacationing at the same time, there couldn't help but be an untimely gap somewhere in the middle of the educational year or before entrance into our universities. Classes might not even be kept together; separate portions of the same class might be graduating at different times and students of the same age and year would , at a given time, have been exposed to unlike amounts of education.

Even if this could be worked out administratively, personnel and school problems would arise.

School activities would have the backing of only those in school at the time. The sports seasons can't be changed. Would athletes out of school be eligible for competion or would talent be drawn only from those in school?

Plan Courses For Future

their senior year when 1t 1s too late to register for any courses tha~ may be required for entrance to a particular school. While the college prep curriculums here at Lincoln High are designed to prepare students for the University of Nebraska they often do not dema:nd courses that may be necessary for entrance to some other schools. If there is any ·possibility of attending a school other than the University of Nebraska it would be wise to inquire as :to the requirements for entrance to that college. In part our schools are at fault for some · of the confusion on this subject since the importance of this sort of future planning, while stressed in high school, is often not emphasized soon enough. As early as eighth grade, stu~ents should be finding out what courses they will need to take and should even have a fairly definite idea as to where they plan to go to school following high school graduation. Since there are schools that require four years of some subjects for entrance, an individual must know about such things before registering for his ninth grade course of study. Although it is too late for seniors and some juniors to maks up deficiencies in their schedules, sophomores will still have time to investigate and ·learn the value of various courses. Counselors offer valuable assistance in this regard The danger of "overloading" is not very great. While some students may register for a course of study that they are unable to handle, counselors and students should be able to recognize those with special abil- · ity and should arrange a high school schedule for them with as many a<!ademic, college prep courses as possible. An extra major in an academic field that may not be req.uiredt can certainly do no harm.

Too many students find themselves taking make-up work and many more find that they are unable to qualify for scholarships or attend the school of their choice simply because they didn't take the time to find out about entrance requirements.

Brevity

A point can be put across most effectively with a brief statement In writing there is no relationship between length and qu_ality. ~revity is def!ned as "the quality of being bnef; the quality of being concise· terseness." The three essential qualities of a good editorial are interest, force, and brevity. Most of our editorials fall short of · all three qualifications. This one fails in only two. ·

Student's Duty to Society

Is the provision of public school education a "right" or a "privilege"? The choice between these two terms isn t really too difficult when definitions of the words are sighted. A right is "That which is in accord wit~ moral law; a power or privilege to which one has a natural or moral claim."

A privilege is "A right or exemption granted as a peculiar advantage or favor to some a~d not to others." Even with the overlappmg of Webster's definitions it is readily se~n. ~at st~d¥ and sc~ool attendance are privihges; privileges which can be accepted or denied by the individual. But should the choice between studying not studying actually rests with the individual? Many of us here at Lincoln High have passed , the age of compulsory atte!ldance but our continued "self-determmed" school attendance is still suppo r ted ~y the taxpayer. As long as a student stays 1~ school he has an obligation to fulfill to his own p~rents and all taxpayers to study a~d to derive the most from what is offered him.

·

This sort of responsibility extends, of course, beyond those attending school. It aplies to the taxpayer whose dollars built the new Pershing Auditorium but who fails to attend the events now held there.- Like the student who fails to get the most from 'his studies he is simply robbing himself.

While the individual does have a right, within certain limits, to dec ide whether or not to attend school he does not have the 11ight to make a choice between conscientious study and just messing around.

This doesn't mean that anyone can be forced to accept and work with the advantages offered or that students must either study ha rd or quit school. It simply means that a p erson who wast es time at' school is doing so at the expense of others as well as himself.

From The Neck Up

Karl Shapiro, University of Nebraska professor, recently accused modern students of ''intellectual apathy," stating that the Midwe~t is the ';~ost backward part of the ~mted Sta~es. Moreover, according to Shapiro, -today s students are "tired young people" whose "only reaction to the Hungarian Revolt was to raise a few banners on the campus." "Twenty I years ago they would have volunteered to go to Hungary and fight," he S¥d. · .A..pparently in twenty years time we have learned something. Because of the ,realistic approach so prevalent today, students realize that such radical plans as taking off to Hungary are of little value. Twenty years ago some students probably would have been ready to go to Hungary and fight. Are students of today to be condemned because they think practically, understand where.responsibility in such matters lies, and face the world as it is ?

Modern realism hasn'.t din:imed the zeal of youth; if anything, it has directed its energy into maybe less idealistic, but generally more practical ahd useful channels. Professor Shapiro's claims are in~many respects true. The average student does "postpone his intellectual responsibility to society too long" but the "average" student always has and, in all probability, will for some time. Is the entire attitude of youth expe'cted to change in One generation?

There is a lack of "cultural realization and political consciousness" on the part of most students. Expecting there not to be is a little too ' idealistic. Mr. Shapiro should realize that judging a group by its masses is often not as 1good a measure as judging it by its lead ers. If he will look at the be s t students, the leaders among youth today, he will find that the contemporary student cJrOp is anything but "devoid of intellectual idealism." The others will follow these leaders in time, as they have in previous years. All students of twenty years ago were not as intellectually inclined and as bright a; Professor Shapiro no doubt was. youth will not lose ,its vitality until such time as there is no longer a challenge left for it. In these early years what we are thinking is of less importance than the fact that we are thinking. Maybe we are wr~ng · in some regards, but never fear Mr. Shapiro, today's students are thinkqig.

Is Bunny Farce?

Have you ever wondered i-f the Easter Bunny is really a wonderful little rabbit who gives eggs to good children, on Easter? This query has been bothering people for centuries! There are numerous an:d S1Jndry other questions that also require answers. How can a plain, common, ordinary, everyday rabbit who eats lettuce, carrots, etc., 364 days a year take one day off just to lay eggs? If and when a.rahbit lays an,· egg, does he cackle like a chicken, qua~k like a. ".iuck, or honk like a goose? Do rabbit eggs come with stripes or are they just plain colored? How can a ..rabbit lay eggs at all? Mayb~ he can't. If a rabbit can't lay eggs where do they all come from? Does he steal them from poor unsuspecting chickens that belong to poor unsuspecting farmers. You must realize what a harsh accusation this is, but it's pure logic. You can answer these questions yourself and draw your own conclusions as to wbat may be coming off. Maybe we have lreen taken in by a big hoa:x:. An egg - stealer in rabbit's clothing.

· This whole Easter Bunny proje6.t started in Europe but the people in England aren't faked out any more because the boys hunt "for the bunny instead of the eggs. If they catch him they eat hiJU. The egg coloring bit st arted in Germany. The older folks color the eggs after the kids have gone to bed. One pleasure they receive from this is that they get to slip around the corner for a short stein of refreshment when they get done. When the kids wake up in th e ·morning they find all the colored · eggs and naturally blame it on the Easter Bunny. Here's a parting thought; A walk isn't what

A Good Habit Is The Study Habit

Just how to study is a problem most every student faces How many people know how to study? Oh, all of us make a stab -at it. but just how many real-ly know how to sit down and study? Of course there. are no set rules for it, but if you follow a few of these simple do's and don'ts you may find ~t easier.

Do listen to · cliiss discussion ..If you have to sleep or day-dream through it at least come back· to · ear-th long enough · to take down the assignment the first time it is given. You don't want to be one of those people who, just after a ques• · tion has been discussed thoroughly turns right around and asks it again, or right after the assign- · ment has been given and repeated a couple of times runs up to theteacher's desk and asks her what the assignment was.

Do: use to good advantage the time the teacher allows you for study time. If you don't you will probably complain about how much homework you have to take home.

Don't keep putting off your homework You may get to school the next day -and find your assignment · still undone. 1 Do organize your work and set aside about the amount of time in which to do it. Don't cram at the last minute for tests Plan effective reviews well ahead of time , so the night before the test you won't have to "burn the midnight oil." Don't daydream or let

Undeniably different people have entirely different interests; still it is very easy to unconsciously "go ape" and become engulfed in one field of interest at the expense of a well-rounded personality. The desire .for knowledge cannot be satisfied through reading and study alone, just as social life alone cannot give a proper outlook on life : A balance of the two is neccessary. Somewhere between the "philosopher" who has never lived it up and the playboy who is having a great time but has never stopped to think, is a happy medium of balance. Where do you fit in? · • •

Give Them A Break

Should the press and radio have access to the names of juvenile offenders? This question has been debated by authorities in communities all over the country, each arriving at a different conclusion. The policY, , in the city of Lincoln thus far has been not to allow newspapers to print the names of · young lawbreakers The iu;-gument tha~ all cr1mmals should be treated alike regardless of age seems to be outweighed by the contention that th e losing of his good name at an early age will discourage a delinquent and cause him to get into more trouble and increasingly more serious difficulties.

Another group believes that printing of names gives young criminals publicity which they really want and like; publicly which glorifies them in the eyes of their fellow hoods. This may be very true in some of our very large cities but in a community the size of Lincoln, where most juvenile offenders are the type that can go straight if given a chance, the reason for withholding names is that of preserving the offenders good name.

Dealing with juvenile · delinquency is not dealing with large groups, it is dealing with individuals; individuals who can learn the difference between right and wrong if they are not forced to suffer a discouraging setback by having their names disclosed to the public.

· · Persistent offenders should be dealt with sternly but the printing of names following first offenses discourages, rather than disciplines.

Silence ls An Art

Have we forgotten how to k~ep things to ours elves? Today every bit of information seems to be hammering inside for release to the ears of anyone who will listen. Whether to spread the latest gossip or just to prove our knowledge, many of us are all too eager talk, talk, talk. Learning and talking cannot go on simultaneously. By far the greatest part of what we say is merely expressing that which we already know. Discussion, intelligent conversation and honest inquiry, while exercising the vocal cords, also make a definite contribution to our thinking. Most new knowledge however is gained through the art of listening As a matter of tact it is unwise to correct a person when he makes a minor error in conversation. Even temporary silence allowing time to think something over before · mouthing off, is better than ·saying something impulsively which may later be regretted. We will do well to look back at the attitudes on this subject of some of history's great thinkers. The early. Roman philo~opher ·Cato once sa id, "I .thmk the first virtue is to restrain the tongue; he approaches nearest to the gods who knows how to be silent, even though he is in the right."

Another philosopher speaking along the ,iame line declared "If you wish to appear agreeable in society you must con s ent to be taught many things which you know already." / " Here are words by Confucms : Silence 1s a true friend who never betrays." And for those who talk for fear of otherwise being thought ignorant, an English thinker, Hannah More, once wrote : "That •ilence is one of t he great arts of conversation is allowed by Cicero hims elf who sa ys, there is not only an art, but an eloquen ce to it. "

Looking back on bis experi-· ences of this school year, Dimitris Veronis, an exchange student to Lincoln High from Greece, records some of his impressions of the united States, its customs, its people, and its meaning. There are at I e a s t two important reasons for · extending to tpe different people an invitation to visit the U.S.A. The first is that the 11eople of the United States of America want them to come. The second is that they and their forebears may have con• tributed more toward the building of the New World than .they rea• lize.

The Lincoln and Omaha schools included in this group will offer an excellent balance of power a~d shouldn't run into the problem that so many conferences with teams unmatched in strength have faced. Spectators of any team in this conference need not worry about having a few pushovers on their basketball pnd football schedules year after · year.

Scheduling of games, mainly in football, may bring so:qie difficulty. Many old rivalries and trips for various school teams wiil have to be discontinued to make way on the schedules for games with conference foes. While not true in the case of basketball, it will be difficult in football for top teams in the state outside of this loop to prove themselves against top flight competition.

One of the most talked about features of this new program is the postponement of baseball season until the summer months.

Guess Who·!

This would be a big boost to other spring sports and would allow a boy to participate in as many as four sports a. year. If the state's athletic power continues to lie, as it has in the past in the Lincoln-Omaha area, this new conference's obvious shortcomings are completely outweighed by its possibilities. It should be very successful. · At any rate it will present an · exciting experiment in high school sports~

• • • Time, The Great Ruler

Before reading on, take a piece of paper and using your own words attempt to define the word TIME, · that's right, the commonly used word time, the name we give to that element \Vhfoh, above all qthere, governs our lives. No matter what definition you write you will find it does not begin to express your idea of time in all its varied aspects. In fact Webster's Dictionar~ devotes an entire page to its many meanings; trying to explain ex- .• pressions like: for the last time, the time of day, in no time, for the time being, a good time, and many a time. Time is defined as "the period between two events or during which something exists, ,happens, or acts," and also as "indefinite, unlimited duration in which things are considered as happening in the past, present, or future; every moment t~ere h~s ever b~en or ev~r will be The entire penod of existence of the known universe; finite duration, as distinguished form infinity." All that the foregoing or an·y explanation of time proves, is that we don't know wha.t time is.

'A name can

as merely a label affixed to a person, a place, or a thing for the purpose of identification; but a name's significance extends far beyond this. It symbolizes the entire history, potential, and reputation of the person or thing that it identifies. This association is so intim~te · that the mere mention of a name immediately resolves itself in a positive, negative, or indifferent reaction.

In the case of our school this deeper mean• ing of a name takes the form of tradition. The name "Lincoln High" in which this tradition is ,mbo4ied 1 certainly signifies m?r~ than the physical concept of a school building. It stands for the dreams, work and achievements of every student who has ever gone here, of every faculty member present and past, and of every athletic team tha~ has ever worn its colors. It is every smell, sight, taste, and sound; every success, disappointment, and ~otion that is a familiar part of school life.

But above all else Lincoln High is people. Every student establishes his own reputation. His personal actions are the prime factor determining another individual's opinion of him. However, every person connected with Lincoln High affects to some degree the meaning, the real significance of the name, Lincoln High School.

Every one of us leaves a small part of himself here. Something of each of our lives remains here as a part of the school's history and a tie with the pa.st, a period of our lives we can never return ·to again. But more important, far, than thl;I s~all part ofour heart that! we leave behmd is the part of Lincoln High, its spirits, its memories, and its na~e that we pike wth us. _ • • •

Find Enjoyment In Books

Now that the long-awaited end of the school year has finally arrived, we are eager ·to catch up on all of the things which "'e haven't had time to do during the past nine months. For some of us the summer means time just to loaf. Afte~ a ;~wshoz:t da~s of doing nothing the des11"ab1lityof mactlvity wears off. Although it hardly seems possible now, the annual three month freedom can become boring. Even for the many who have summer jobs or travel plans, summer means additional spare -time. What will you do with youra ! Most of U8 won't look at a book or even think of doing anything that vaguely resemblea studying for quite a long time after ,ichool is out, But to those fortunate few who have learned the art of reading for pleasure, the summer with its additional free hours offers a long awaited opportunity to explore the storehouse of human knowledge and to read what they want to read, for their own enjoyment.

The art of reading for entertainment lhould be foreign to no one. It is one of the most easily mastered and yet most satisfy ing of habits. If you take time to read but half a dozen good books during the summer you will certainly be the richer for it. This point of reading good books is important. Reading just for the sake of doing something can be pointless It is a waste to spend good reading hours on just anything when libraries place the world's great literature right at your fingertips. While becoming absorbed in the excitement, adventure, and emotions of a good book you are substantially increasing your interests and vocabulary at the same time gaining a broader outlook on the whole of life. Take advantage of your leisure sum- · mer moments. Don't rob yourself of the · joy of reading.

Good Luck from the Staff

This, the last issue of the Advocate, brings tb a close another wonderful school year, (one that has passed all too quickly for most of us) and gives the staff a chance to extend thanks and best wishes for a happy summer to all of our readers and the many people who have cooperated with us. We would particularly like to wish good luck to next semester's Advocate staff, We know you'll have as much fun as we did. Stay out of as much trouble as possible but enjoy yo'l,lrselves. It is a wonderful experience and well worth all the time, work, ~d energy you can put into it.

To everyone who is leaving Lincoln High we wish all the luck, happines, and success In the world. And for them, as well as for all who will return next year, we hope that each succeeding year will be more fun-filled than the one before.
