"The duties of the ·squad leaders are to take att.endance at each game and to report all merits and deinerits of each squad member," explained Mrs. McCarty. "A Pepper may earn merits by making posters, helping with assemblies, selling' at games, passing out programs, · making horseshoes, working on the card section, working on homecoming, attending out-0ftown games in Pepper uniforms, and attending sports other than football · and basketball.
"Demerits may be received for two tardies, unexcused absences, leaving games before they are over, not participating at games, lack of neatness, not wearing complete uniform or wearing fancy collars, poor general conduct, and not wearing uniforms on specified game days. Smoking in public, in uniform draws a penalty of three demerits. ·
"Peppers earning enough merits, the number of which will be decided by the Executive Board, will be given an award," continued Mrs. McCarty. "Girls receiving three demerits are dropped from Peppers. Merits and demerits will be given by members of the Excutiv Bo a rd (officers and squad leaders). Each Peppe1· will be notified in writing when she has had two demerits. Any Pepper dropped from the organization will be ·given an inferior citizenship rating in dependability and will not be eligible for membership again "

Lincoln High has three students studying under the American Field Service Plan this year. The AFS students are Ricardo Cruz from the Philippine Islands, Marcelo Gigena from Uruguay and Solveig Klaastad from Norway. All the students express a love oi America, but find different .things of special interest. "Nebr,as• ka's temperatures are too cold," says Marcelo who hf'S never seen snow. The Nebraska plains and quantities of cattle remind him of Uruguay. "In Norway," Sol says, "it is colder and. it rains nearly all the time." Ricardo explained, "In the Philippine Islands the language is predommately Spanish with modifica~ tion by other cultures such as Chinese. The Philippines official language is Tagalog." Marcelo speaks English, Spanish, the native language of Uruguay, and is studying French. While Sol can speak Norwegian and English, she has also studied German and French.

The whole student body, busii:iess and educational men and Judge :B'r~der~ckSheperd were present for. the dedicat~on ceremony of an athletic field and stadiu~. The year, October 26, 1923, the school, _Lincoln High, and the stadium, the newly built Oval. The original amount , $20,000 worth of credit was received from 40 Lincoln men.
At the. end of two years, Charles Stuart, treasurer of this group offered each of them a chance to cancel his note. Ho"':ever not one of the notes was cancelled. Tliis was proof of their faith in Lincoln High. The ·interest on these notes has never been compounded so the notes have run · for five years at simple interest. -~ From Lincoln High students, clubs, publications and other associations, $6,799.15 ~as raised. Because of the efficiency with wh~ch these high school students worked, the Oval was completed and with no cost to anyone but Lincoln High students. It became wholly and undoubtedly the property of th~ student body of the school Saturday morrung, January 19, 1929 ,when the check for $838.86 was delivered for a last payment. · Before the oval was constructed the important Lincoln High football games ~ere played at the University of Nebraska field. These games were scheduled with great _difficulty because the University often desired use o:f the field for practice.The need for a permanent wan at Lincoln High School was brought before the student body by the student council. Although several classes had contributed sums of money ·to the building of a wall at some future date, the actual idea of having the oval had remained more or less a · dream until 1923 when it was placed before th~ Board of. Education by a committee of students and faculty. After the proposition had received the approval of the board, it was voted upon by the school at large Since the vote was almost unanimously in favor, the oval - contracts were let at once · and work was begun as soon as possible. The oval was ready for use by the fall of 1923.
Quoting the dedication speaker of 1923, Judge Sheperd, class of 1882: "Finally, this is our Oval., built by Lincoln High school · hands and heads ·and dedicat ed to sportsmanship , not the kind that is full of lust for success, not the kind of cheap enthusiasm that will jeer at the failures of an9tner, but the kind that st,ands for a game on the level and the kind that rocks the stands at a good play by any team." It is still our Oval, one of wp.ich we should be proud.

"Then you must not know the Hi Spot," came a quick reply from Carl Zeus. Is anyone else lacking vital details about our Student Lounge? No teache:r:s are on duty. For this reason · students are expected to have good behavior and obey the posted rules. This is a Stud6nt Council project begun two years ago.

"I am very proud of these pictures and would be happy to display any given to me by a student of Lincoln High School," stated Mrs. Ru th Schwarz, history teacher in 325. She was speaking of the c ollection of pictures given to' her by former Lincoln High students. Each pic ture depicts an historical event or famous political person. The pictures are framed in wood and many are protected by glass. John Kirsch originated the collection ·with his oil painting of "The Signing of the Constitution." He th.en added "Do ily Ma..di.1mn.sa]cinz the Picture of Washington", "Abraham Lincoln and Mary ·Todd Lincoln", and "William Jennings Bryan's CroM of Gold Speech ." His last picture, painted in water colors, was The Opening of Oklahoma". The last oil painting of the collection was the work of Dorthy Herdt. Her pi cture is titled "The Opening of the Panama", The remaining pictures were dooo in pastel chalk. Fran klin D. Roosevelt and Calvin Coolidge were drawn by Donna Jean S au m She used darker shades of brown and gray in her pictures. Abraham Lincoln was pla ced on canvas by J o Ann Leaming. In her portrait Lincoln is · a middleaged man. Ma(ly of the pictures in this collectioil show the subject as a older man ,or woman Beverly Andelt drew G e o r g e Washington and used lighter tones of gray ·and deep black as the b ac kg round Art Scholarship winner Virginia Hendee pr esented Mrs. Schwarz with a pic t ure of Theodore Roosevelt.

The power of speech! It is one of our most important assets and one of the most neglected. If you ever had to spend a day with just a pencil and paper you would find out just how handy and necessary talking is.
We are judged immediately by the way we talk. You can tell a great deal about a man after he utters one sentence, his geographical background, culture and a standards of behavior.
And whether you are applying for a job or popularity you're going to be judged by what you say and how you say it.

These are not shining examples but they do get the conversation started If this doesn't touch the right spark, keep trying. Inquire about interests, then follow up by exhibiting your wit and intelligence.

A sound suggestion for making yourself a.n interesting conversationalist is to prepare a top ic or two before hand. This does not mean before speaking you must check the notes in a briefcase of witty sayings but just jot down mentally a phrase or idea you have read or heard. Finally, beware of a loose tongue. The f ellow or girl who runs down · others, shreds reputations right and left , and belittles others efforts, is not a pleasant companion.

Mr. Konauh represents the new~ est independent nation in the world. It became independent from Great Britain, on ~arch 6, 1957. The country is located in French West Africa on the Gold Coast. Mr. Konauh, who is a high school principal, 1s one of 22 ·representatives of foreign countries. He is touring .the United States · in response to an invitation issued by an agency of the State Depart~ent. Th i s · group visits schools, community centers and Y.M.C.A.'s, speaking about their native countries an<l observing the u,s_ Mr. Konauh, conducted an interview during the class · with members asking many questions about his native land.
· Schools Difetn,nt
"Our school system is quite different from yours,'' he explained. "The ·elementary grades are one · through six; the form, which is equal to your _junior high, is four years; and our high school is five years; Of the tot.al population of Ghana, which is 5,000,000, ahout

Are Te~ns Really Reckless?
.Are T·e.en-age drivers really -reckless?
"The hot-rodders," declares James Mihalick, a winner in Road-E-0 contest, are as bad as pictured but most te~n-agers drive safely. These · are not publcuzed, wh~rE:_as the offenders get the <ttewspaper space.
To solve the problem of reckless young drivers wemust establish a reason _for th~m, being reckless. Emotional release, 1matur1ty, inexperience are three, but probably the best reason is as simple as one, two , thre e; to 1mpress, the urge to show off ·
To cite a reckless driver is comparatively simple for he is likely to, be careless in ·dress, study and manner~. He see ms .to have a very high opinion of hunself and is -often brash and rude. · ·
A speed drag strip, with safe super,vised conditions has -been acquired by many cities and has proved helpful in learning how .to handle a car and the driver.
Another Road-E-0 winner member says, ''A well organized nationally affiliated hotrod club is a blessing to any community. Young people are interested in cars and if they are interested enough to stay in such a club, they must uphold a clean record. They can keep that record only by avoiding th~ driving. manners of the juvenile , showoff hot-rc;>dders.,
Of three ·aids the best ·cure is considered instruction, as in our Drivers Training classes. · Tips for a champion young driver for a beginner are: - ..,--
One-,.Practice uncommon courtesy. Two-Learn from an expert. Three...--Get plenty of practice.
Concluding, most teen-agers take. pride in their driving records and resent stunts and bad manners of the comparative few show-offs.
Band, Orchestra Important
Have you ever stopped to realize the contributions out band and orchestra ma,ke to the school?
To mo~t persons, the band is taken for granted because it is always present for all home games. Our school band gives an effective contribution to all the cheers and '- pep rallies.
Mr. Lyle Welch, instrumental music _.,.director, and the members of the band must spend many hours perfecting skits for halftime entertainment. These skits are par excellence. The band takes part in holiday parades. The band is always prepared for an commendable performanc~.
The orchestra. provides the instrumental background for the opera, holiday occasions and is often present to play for Open House. Small instrum ental groups perform in assemblies, Joy Night and Color Day. In ev~luating, you can see the importance <lf our band and orchestra. Wouldn't ·it be difficult to get.. along without them? , ·

Give Thanks·
This Thanksgiving Plymouth Colonists celeb::ated the first feast of Thanksgiving during the second winter after arriving in ~he New World. Because the first winter killed nearly h~l! of the colonies' population, Governor W1l11~m Bradford made a decree that a day of. giving thanks would be set aside m gratitude
for those spared the winter · Much pomp and circumstance wa~ mclud- J ed in preparation for the feat. Ind1~ns and 1 Colonists alike shared a meal o! wild tu~keys, and venison. But even with all this ado the original purpose was not for~otten. Prayers, sermons , and songs of praise led their activities for three days We who live in America take so many things for granted. Bei1:1gable to read , to choose our own occupation, to have a clo.se harmony in our families, to own mate1;-al wealth are opportunities which make ~ife a little easier and spiritual wealth which makes life a lot easier , are just a few. Thanksgiving ·sometime fails to have 3:ny thing to do with thanks. Only the steaming turkey, cranberry sauce o~ J?Umpkin pie are anticipated. This Thanksg1vmg let our banquet goodies be a reminder as to what the occasion really stands for.

They decided to give thanks for the ir good fortune A feast was planned which lasted three days. The Indians were invited and came bearing gifts of venison, wild turkey and other delicacies. There was plent y of food for everyone , plenty of roast t ur key, venison pies and many of the things the Pilgrims had raised In all the records thesre is ~o account that the Pilgr.im.s set aside future dates for Thanksgiv-ing. The following year was filled w ith mfsfortune for the Pilgrims and they had no fall feast.

go blind every week. · !
Don't be a needless casualty. Good v~s1on is one of your most wonderful po~sess10ns. The only trouble is that you are given only two eyes. Faulty vision, and the fatigue from eye strain that goes with it, lead to misju~gments and mistakes If you need correction with glasses ; wear them especially at ~ork.
One out of every four or five school children usually has defective vision. The percentage increases throughout school years A bad school record is sometimes caused by bad eyes, not bad I.Q.
The first rule in caring for your eyes is to let an expert take a look at them once in a while-at least once every two years. This is especially true if you're under 12 or over 40. 1 From the pamphlet Only One Pair To A i Customer by Cameron Kirk are listed five aids to Good Vision. One-During prolonged periods of eyework-including reading, sewing and watching television-rest your eyes now and then by closing them or looking around the room. Constant staring is a strain.
Two-Sit erect and hold reading matter about 14 to 16 inches away from your eyes.
Three-Blink frequently. It lubricates the eyes.
Four-When you catch yourself straining to see something, stop and relax. Actually , you'll do better if you don't try so hard Your eyes work best when they're relaxed.
Five-Claims for eye exercises are frequently exaggerated, but in some cases they can help your eyes just as they help other parts of your body. Some people with \defective sight, where muscular unbalance was the problem, have exercised their way to nearly perfect vision. It's worth talking over with your ophthalmologist.
Seeing, as the basis for nearly everything we think, learn and do, is tied up with the whole mental and physicial system. Take great precaution with your eyes, they are an indispensable gift to be treasured. Music! Music! Music!

Mrs. Sarah Joseph a Hale, editor of Godey's Lady 's Book, worked for thirty years to promote the idea of a national Thanksgiving Day. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation setting aside the last Thursday of November in the year as "the day of Tha:nk,sgiving and pra is~ to our beneficent Father."
For seventy-five yea rs after• wards, the Presidents of the United States proclaimed thae Thanksgiving Day shoould be celebrated on the last Thursday of November In 1939 President F. D. Roosevelt decided to help business by proclaiming Thanksgi ving one week earlier to lengthen the time for shopping between Thanksgiving and Christmas Some states refused to go along with this new proc lamation and Congress ruled that after 1941 the fourth Thursday in November would be observed as Thanksgiving Day and would hence forth be a legal holiday.
"I guess that sums it up pretty well, now do you have a idea how Thnaksgiving started?"
"Gosh, I have more than just an idea about it. Why you're i;rretty ; smart, in fact , I th ink you'r e wonderful. "
"Oh! gosh, that's the nicest ,I thing you ve said in a long time .'

We have all asked ourselves and each
"Are we losing our school spirit?"
If ~ur enthusiasm seems dim at many of our athletic events, perhapi; we are only realizing that our spirit is branching out into other important channels.
School spirit doesn't pertain merely to our games and other extra curricular activiti~s, but to the seemb;igly common, everyday instances.
The entire school, for instance, has shown and is showing its spirit by the number of names on the honor roll and those who received scholarships. The pride and loyalty shown to the schOQland its belongings, is also another display of spirit. Our spirit has gone forward earning ; the things we wish for the school, such as the oval, and most recently the lounge, though they'll be of use to us o~ly a short while. The lack of prejudice in a school with a variety of races and creeds is another example of good will. No! We aren't losing our school spirit. If any change is coming about, we are growing in spirit and, by so doing, ·we are growing as individulas, and, as a school.
Wheelers Make Waste · Has anyone noticed lately the riot in the atude~t parking - lot at noon and after school? Cars tear around at such speed that any innocent pedestrian who just happened to get in the way would be mowed down immediately. Gravel ijies like frightened ducks from the spinning tires and could very easily injure someone. Thoughtless kids park outside the posts making it difficult for others to come and go. The only ones who can do anything about this dilemma are 1the wheelers of Lincoln High. Speed doesn't really make getting in and out any easier. When wheels spin it shows that one is a careless driver, and not very economical The cost of rubber is lost on that gravel. ' ·When the ignition is tumed, the motor begins to roar, and you grip the wheel, look around and see that others are looking at you.
Todays' Teens Conform
Americans used to stand up for their beliefs. If they didn't like something they changed it. Today, teen-agers are conformists, adults bring them up that way because they are the same. Some of us stand up for our beliefs and try to be individuals. The only people who have · accomplished anything in life have been courageous individuals. These people aren't afraid to stand up for what they be· lieve. They think for themselves. These are the people who may isolate themselv es from others in order to prove their theories or ways of thinking. If every American eventually becomes a Casper Milquetoast, we could lose our democratic government. America needs men and women who don't necessarily follow the crowd or become frightened because they are different. America needs courageous individuals.
lnterscholasticlntramural?
The differences between interscholastic isports are greater than one would expect. Interscholastic -sports are selective; while intramural sports are not. When. playing intramural sports, sufficient interest in the game is one of the most important ideas In scholastic sports, the ability to play the game will go hand in hand with interest In interscholastic sports a certain time is set aside for practice and rigid training rules are established. In intramural sports, practicing is done on the team members' initiative. Interscholastic teams have the opportunity to ·travel out of town to compete with other teams. Intramural teams are fro.m home rooms. Last, but not least, intramural team members would not have as great a desire to achieve personal glory because there would be less publicity.

Are Our Standards As They Seem?
In almost every magazine you choose to read there is an article telling the nation what horrible standards of values today's youth and adults possess. Are these stand; ards any worse than, say of 100 years ago : It is hard to find much said about this in books of history for these things just were not talked about. But reading about the scandals directly after the Civil War will convince many people that our morals are not much worse, only publicized more. Even as far back as George Washington. graft and corruption in the government were shocking enough to have him state, "Such a dearth of public spirit and want of virtue, such stock-jobbing and fetility in aU the low arts to obtain advantages of one kind or another, lnever saw before and pray to God I may never be a witness to again. I tremble at the prospect.." Would he still be trembling?
After everything has been said on one subject, after every angle has been exhausted, then thereis no point in continuing to plod along reaching no solution by writing over and over again the very same things. Only action can help the situation; This very rule applies to our standard of values. They are a product of Society , and the are constant, and they do not change with the flip of a hat. Bette!' standards are a basis for happiness. Every time a bad deed or thought enters the mind it crowds out a good thought There are so many beautiful things in the world-so much good to spread that it is not fair to the human heart to hold this lovliness. "The wise man learns to control his · mind so that it will act constructively for his benefit."
We must learn to condition our thoughts and actions, even for the selfish reason of wanting happiness to produce a better society Just as we are a product of ?Ur society, so is it a product of human bemgs.
Mum's The Word
It doesn't do to do much talking When you're mad enough to choke For the word that hits the hardest Is the one that's never spoke. Let the other fellow do the talking Till the storm has rolled away, Then he'll do a heap of thinking 'Bout the things you didn ' t say. Anonymous
Thoughts for the week:
If you must carry a chip on your shou~der, get a job in a lumber yard, where it won't be noticed. Most people are color blind-they think they are blue when they are only yellow. Jumping to conclusions is about the only mental exercise some people take. It takes thirty-four muscles to frown, and only thirteen to smile Why make the extra effort?
Alert! Alert! Alert!
This is to alert all students! A strange new virus called "Procastination" is running wild at Lincoln High. It is attacking careless students without mercy. Here is the major symptom: :A.tendency to put off homework, thinking you will do it in the next hour, week, or month. ·As a result the work is never done, thus causing the inevitable failing of the surprise quiz given the next day. The only way to overcome this dangerous virus is to apply will power. When you get home from school, sit down as soon as possible and do the homework, even if there is a great Roy Rogers show on TV. The longer you put it off, the harder it becomes to get started. Another recommended remedy is to do as much of it as you can in class. There you can't do anything else and the atmosphere is more studious anyway. So remember-if you don't want to worry about how to recover from this virus be careful not to contract the germs in the first place. ·

She took my hand with loving care,
She took my costly flowers so rare,
She took my candy and my books,
She took my eye with meaning looks,
My loot was low, my hopes were high,
And then she took the other guy!!!

Letters To The Editor
DearWithEditor, the fin al bit of copy wr1tten, edlteCl, and finally published, it gives the Advocate staff a chance to express its thanks to all the readers and the many people who have made this paper possible. · ·
We would like to stay a special good luck to next semester's staff. We kn~w you'll have as great a time as we have. Its a wonderful experience and well worth all the time and effort you can put into it. Good luck to all of you! The Advocate Staff
Dear Editor, One pet peeve of many pupils , especially seniors, is the content of home room classes. This could be a very valuable and worthwhile class if the subject matter was of mo~e immediate interest. One suggested topic could be "How to Select a Coll~g~," or something pertaining to the "Obtaining of Scholarships." If the content of Home Room could be improved upon, fewer stude_nts would complain · about the "wasted" time spent there.

Editor's note: Inquiries "!J~de have · brought up the following information: There is a unit of home room devoted to t~e. study of choosing a college. Much empha~1s 1s also put on obtaining such scholarship as are available.
Dear Editor, Why did they take down the pictures in the cafeteria?
Puzzled
Editor's Note: The pictures were a p~rsonal showing of Mrs. Shirley Martin! Lincoln High art teacher and were on display for the holiday season.
Dear Editor, A load of thanks should be given to t_he people who pr epa re and gtve the assemblies here at Lincoln High. The variety and way they are given creates lots of interest among the students. Behind the scene work, however, goes unnoticed and uncomplimented. Those who do the planning are the ones who really deserve the compliments from the student body and faculty.
· · So why not try to show apprec1at1on for these assemblies with just a word of "thanks" to those who work so hard.

Dear Editor, - 1 would like to inquire of the office staff and custodians whether something couldn't be done about the icy steps and walks around Lincoln High. · There have been several accidents and in a few cases, injuries due to this situation. Any investigation or action taken towa rds an ·improvement would be very much appreciated, I am sure.

Dear Editor, Since the edge of Ure "down\' stairs a.re worn off on the front edge and the midcles of the "up" stairs are worn, I think the "down" stairs should be the "up" stairs to promo te even wear and tear on both :he "up" and "down" stairs.

Tips For Students On How To Study For Final Exams
Well, kids, iit's about that Ume again. For whart? Exams of course! Too often this subjec t str,ikes terror i,n.f;othe hear.ts of industrious (or otherwise) high sohool stude -nbs. But you're in luck! May we offer a sure-fire formula whfoh can be applied success.fully to your examtime study .habits: 1 F i,r~t of all • • , don' t pan ic! Frantic last mmu.t e cramm Lng can be eliminated by pur;,osefol review beginning a week or wot before T (test) hour. Regulate your study time to provide for the number of tests you are to take. Wise st udy pr ocedure would in~lude the summariz ing of m a i n ideas set forth i:n sec-ti-on title s study of ma p s tab les, and obhei'. hel pful guides inducted i-n the mate:r,ial covered in the past semester. Plan to cover again any sect ions you have forgotten or don' t thoroughly undevstand. Contrary t.o popular belief an e:'ening of concentrated stud; the mght b~fore the exam is not good. If possible, plan an e ven ing of carefree enjoymen t, but be sure · to retire e arly so you'll be fresh and ready to think i,n tihe morning. As for actually taking the exam, to q uote an old phra s e , stay =t!m cool a .1a'-'cuIT tec'Vetr; 8 na you're\ sure to breeze throug.h it with no signs of tension (which can often hinder your abili.ty to think.)

Hi once again : Well, did every.one enjoy their Chirstmas vacations? What a silly question! I hope by this time you've all gotten back into the ole studying routine again, 'cause that end of semester with its tests isn't far off. Back to the vacation subject, the grapevine word goes that the L.H.S students were moving every minute of it Wasn't it the greatest? The highlight seemed to b e the annual Chris t mas Ball Some of the couples seen at this event were S a n d i Greeness and Bob Hill, Ann Nielson (McCook) and Doug Kiell, Charlotte Dou glas and Harold Kelly, Linda Sullivan and Larry Snyd er, Carol Bauer and Andy Smi th , Janet Miller and John Schwindt , Jackie Likens and Rollin ·Michaud, Vicki H effn er and ·Darrell Stannard, Su san Stump and Brian Etheridge (Denver). Before the gala event there were "coke"tail · parties held at the homes of Kay Diamond and Nancy Stefanisin for their friends and· their · · dates. Slumber parties were also high on the en tertainment list Margaret Borner, Jackie Johnson and Diane McCully were hostes ses to three (from what I heliT) rowdy but fun parties The whole vacation sounds as if it were one big party, the ones we've already mentioned, the teas, getting together to Christma s carol, Robbers' Cave and there must have been some good ones New Years Ev e We naturally can't know everybody that had parties or dates, so we wish you d tell us some of the latest happenings because we hate to leave anyone out Thank-you.

Jim Munford Munford and Wall paced the Rockets past the Links in the first meet Neil Unterseher was the only Link who managed to score consistently. Lincoln was without the aid of their big center Don Burt. Don Posey was on the injured list and played only a portion of the game. Burt and Posey are both expected to be ready for the Rockets on Friday. The Links will invade Boys Town on Jan 24. Boys Town won the State Championship last year and could very well repeat its performance. The Cowboys have lost only one game this year, that being to Scottsbluff. Their other games show impressive victories. The Cowboys have several re-
turning lettermen including Wilburn Hollis, who was voted AllAmerican prep football player. Last year the Cowboys clipped the Links 52-38. The following night Saturday will see Beatrice face the Links here at Lincoln High in the Activities Building. Beatrice whipped t h e Links last year 51-41. Bob Buettenbach proves to be the Links biggest threat as he is a starter and rebound ace. On January 31, the Links cagemen travel to Omaha Tech. The Trojans have a record of 3 wins along with one defeat. The defeat was .suffered to Omaha Central 51-44. Tech is rated third in Omaha Interdty Standards. Trojan Jay Murrell tallied 28 points in each of Techs two games and could be a menace to the Links. Grand Island wit,].1losses to Beatrice and Lincoln Southeast will be trying for a win Feb. 1, against Lincoln High. The game will oe played at G.I. Last year the Links clipped the Islanders 53-48 in season play but lost to them in the district 69-56. The Islanders will be led by their four senior returnin•g lettermen, Dick Falldroy, Bob Eversoll, Gary Harper and Doug Carlisle, A capable team of pulling upsets is Omaha North; North has beaten second ranked Omaha Central and Creighton Prep.

men who haye co~tributed to building up the backbone of America., d~serve recognition. Such a man, who we will remember for his honesty and belief in equal· ity, is Abraham Lincoln, whose birt;hday we celebrate today. · Lincoln's convietions set a standard of fair dealing that has ·survived the years. His ideal that all men are created equal regardless of race, color or creeq. has never been more meaningful than it is now iri. the national and international tenseness that exists in the world today~
Another ideal of Lincoln's is symbolized in the saying "Honesty is the Best Policy." Now, in everyday circumstances, we can pra~tice:honest fundamentals with ourselves, our government and foreign affairs to p.olab· lish a unity that will result in "OJ1cWorld". If the standards of Abe Liucoln. are not forgotten ~nd can be i~corporat~d mto our personal and political hves we will promote better welfare for all mankind. · What · Price ,Panic?

In ·panic, we become non-thinkers, willing to believe the first thing we hear, however wild and unbe· lievable. Not only do we listen, but w~ ?ass the story along with exaggerated add1t10ns. The old adage, 'Keep calm, cool and ~l· lected', should be applied when emergencies occur. ed th . ht In America we are guarante · rig s of thought and speech.

Activities Cry; Participate!
Whe~ a. student enters Lincoln High he is urged to join this, try out for that, participate! Support your clubs and have ,fun doing it is the cry! This is fine, well and easy to ma~age if there could be a definite, never to be violated activity schedule. , But wait, this is impossible. The prob~em begins when each activity must come fl_rst (or else). Some ambitiou~ ~t~~ents f~nd themselves in two or three activities outside of school, plus the alloted clubs, plays, Joy Night, opera, etc., in school. · The rule is---each one comes. at the t op of the list above all the rest (which i~ 9-uite · a task even for a highly talented mag1c1an). Unfortunately, but often, these extra cur· ricular activities, because ·of str<;mgpressure, are put before the originalfuncbon of school, education. · Nearly every scholarship app~icabon calls for a list of activities in whic~ one has participated.. Sc~olarship committees are constantly searching for the well rounded student, the leader.

Newly Chosen E.C.A. Group ls Announced
Miss Dorcas Weatherby and Miss Margaret O'Rourke have announced the new E.C.A. Committee. The new commit· tee consists of seven girls. They are as follows: Susan Clemen, Linda Hel• lerick , Raita Jlansons, Penny Kirk, Kay Rendell, Julia Sampson, and Louise Shadley. The purpose of this group is to record activities a n d points of each student in Lin• coln High School. Each student can be in rio more than four activities at one time or carry more than f o u r t e e n points at one time. In order for the E.C A. Committ ee to · obt ain all of the needed inforptation of the pupils, sponsors of c 1 u b s, plays, committees, and sport activities submit the student's name to the E.C.A Committee. In this way points are determined.
If a student does have more than fourteen points or is in more than four clubs. Mr. William Bogar or Miss Weath· erby is notified, who, in turn, informs the student. Meetings of the E.C.A. Committee are scheduled before and a fter school. Each person on the E C.A Committee serves eight hours a semester and receives a service ratini.

Each year the Home Room teachers and Scholarship Committee are forced to 4elve into the Senior files to discover some likely candidates for these scholarships because students lack the initiative to ask for applications.
To ease financial pressure is the main reason scholarships are offered. It is unfortunate, then, that students do not take advantage of the opportunities that are available. This money enables a student to supplement his education ":-"not to join the "social whirl!" Initiative has been ·a part of our semester reports since first grade. How many years do we have to have it pounded into our heads that we must take the initial step towards something we desire?
In applying action, in this case, we seniors need to check the opportunities offered to us The juniors and sophomores should begin to plan and inquire about the next steps in order to take advantage of scholarship opportunities that come in the senior year.
Homework: Pros and Cons
Each year the question of homework arises among thousands of students, teachers , and parents. Is the idea good or does it create tensions among the students and in the school itself? This problem could best be answered by considering the pro s and con's of this controversy. A ·student's day begins at 8 :30 A M. and he is scheduled with classes unt il 3: 15 P M. after which time many young people work e>r partic ipate in athletic activities. These a ctivit ies are very much a part of the school's schedule as hours of credi t are re ceived for them. Yet, th e se practi c e sessions may extend int o t he evening when homework should be accomplished. The teacher's argument is ·th at the week should be for school and the weekend for students, however, this is not a sound argument for homework because of the assignments given over th e weekends and holidays. These should certainly be spent wit h one's family and friends and not merely with books.
Homework achieves much which can'tpossibly be accomplished in the classroom. It also provides an opportunity for extra care and e xtra credit. Top rate students are needed and with the tensions predominating in the world today, the hours students spent in school don't cover the knowledge needed to help our country and ourselves. Consequently homework supplements what is gathered in the classroom. Perhaps, in a number of years a suitable an swer can be found which will please the majority of people. A suitable practice would possibly be a compromise between the two opponents
A sufficient amount -of homework durin g the week to accomplish the needs, with the weekendsfree for both students and faculty.
This would most likely result in bet ter stud ent-teacher relations and a fresher outlook on school during the week.

A Method Is Revealed
Besides providing delightful music, a piano is a very useful instrument. If you plan on buying one, first place is ' given to the black concert piano which gives the room a dignified air The inside of the piano can be used for storing c o n s e r v e d foods, books or maye double as a place to sleep if all other available p I a c e s (including the bathtub) are taken. The top of the p i a n o may be adorned with pictures or flowers, according to the tastes of the owner.
Piano Playing Easy
Many people think that to learn to play the piano is very confusing and takes endless practice, but this actually isn't true. People who a r e I used to driving a car won't run into any trouble because the pedals of the car and the piano are about the same The Only difference iS that Y OU I can use all of the piano ped- I als at the same time as much 1 a~ you like. While playing, throw your head back occasionally and flash your teeth to the audience to make a better impression (exampleLiberace). The hands play a most important role While playing, life your hands as high as possible, but on coming down to earth be sure to land in the right place or i t will sound like one of the most popular music pieces for beginners "Dinner Music For A Band Of Hungry Cannibals."

·Retain It or Forget It?
Duri~g the school year, we, as students, receive evaluations of our work. That is, every six weeks, or three times each semester, the tea,chers estimate what we .have learned in their particular field.
The grades that are subsequently recorded on our school record are of vast importance, whether we wish to enter a college or secure a job. Colle~e personnel and employers are on the lookout for. top grade students.
It grows increasingly difficult for instructors to evaluate your "worth" for there are so many things to be learned in living tha:t cannot be found in textbooks.
Despite the fact that grades are important factors on college and job applications, teachers also hope that pupils gain general know!~ ege from the classes.' This includes the abj.lity to reason, to apply techniques learned and to get along with others.
Most of us strive for grades of l's and 2's for various reasons. Some of them are to make honor roll, to be included in National Honor Society, to please our parents or to keep up with our friends. If these reasons provide the necessary incentive for productive work then they are excellent, - but if the information learned isn't retained from these courses then the'grade received doesn't mean a thing. Since we have the opportunity for increasing our knowledge, let's take advantage of it by studying.
These school days are all too few and who know's · someday that "long gone" classes topic might be of value.
Positive Actions Protect Against Abusive Words
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me."
As youngsters, many of us chanted this saying to those who made unkind statements about us. Now we are older we are aware of the fact that often we may be ridiculed or mentioned in unfavorable terms singly or as a group. Snap judgments in various situations are occasionally made by on-lookers who are prejudiced or ignorant of the truth. Sometimes the critii;:ism is merited and sometimes it is not. However deserved or undeserved these comments may be, such occurrences arise in our daily lives and produce undesirable situations.
Whether or not we are able to cope with these situations depends on our attitude. If we can accept deserved criticism with dignity and a sincere desire to improve our conduct we will have taken a step forward in achieving and furthering a high standard of school policy.
If we show a willingness to cooperate with classmates, members of fellow schools, and 1 school administrators we will find our position in the community strengthened.
Sound Track
Everyone wants to "sound off" some'n.me. Composers express their feelings in music. We, the receivers, get the message through phonographs.
To those who aren't tuned in, Lincoln High has many available sound tracks. ·
The Student Council provides a suggestion box, Home Room teachers are always willing to listen to high fidelity complauits and the ADVOCATEhas a special column, Letters to the Editor, for troubled or is it "trebled" readers.
"Tape" your complaint or praise and present it to any member of the Advocate staff or place it in room 217 or 219. ·We'll try to make a permanent record of it.
Tempus Fugit
"Lost wealth may be replaced by industry, lost knowledge by study, lost health by temperance, but lost time is gone forever."
"It is better to be doing the most insignificant thing than to reckon even a half hour insignificent."
To the faculty: The student body of Lincoln High wishes to thank the faculty for their consideration in regard to the athletic events which have taken place these past weeks. We realize teachers and advisors have tried to arrange their schedules to enable students to enjoy the basketball games without worrying aboJJt daily assignments. We also know the Irregularity of classes has inconvenienced many teachers. · A "hearty thanks" for the many pep assem.,lles, held in the lounge, auditorium and activities building.

University Student Teachers Practicing - On tHS Students
Ever since kindergarten you may have noticed that in certain classes there have been, from · time to time, unfamiliar teacher in addition to the regular ones. These are student teachers, · seniors from the University of Nebraska, Nebraska Wesleyan, and Union College, fulfilling the law which requires that all would-be teachers must practice teaching for at least one semester before receiving certification.
It is estimated that between 225-250 student teachers are practicing in Lincoln Public Schools at all three levels. In t h e elementary schools students must teach ·for a half day while in Junior and Senior high they teach two periods each day. The practice teacher is allowed to choose the grade 1 e v e 1 at which he wishes to teach and is given some choice as to the subject, being either his major or one of his minors. The Public School Administration works with the univer-
sities, placing those student teachers from University of Nebraska who cannot teach at University High and a 11 student teachers froni Wes: leyan and Union college. Each has two supervisors, · the teacher under which he works and a professor. The university supervisor observes his teaching method about once every four weeks. At the completion of this course a blank is filled out by the teacher under whom he is working and this determines the grade for the course. At first the student teachers' activities consist largely of observing. During this time they are expected to get acquail}ted with pupils, not only their- faces and names b u t ·also their backgrounds a n d proi>lems. They also check roll, mark papers, keep records and fill out report cards Responsibilities are extended until the student teacher is allowed to be in chiµ-ge of one complete unit. They also have an opportunity to carry out additionalactivities which are

At the night of Jesus' death, a long procession is held. Carved images of Jesus and His parents, apostles and disciples, and saints pre ceed Christ s body lying in His sepulchre. Most of the people join the procession, others are just spectators.

Easter in Uuruguay is celebrated in a different way than it is here, we didn t even use the word Easter or its translation into Spanish.
We have one week holiday called "Saint Week" by the church, but it is also called "T ourism Week" by the government. In this week, the people from the citie s go out t o the country or the pe ople from the country go to the cities; others usually go either to Argent ina or Brazil and from those count r ies go to Uru gua y. That's why it's caller ' ' Tour ism Week."

WatchOut!
Have you ever wondered why some of our Lincoln High students always seem to enter our fair "home away from homes" l o9kirig as though they d just completed a world war single•handed? For the innocent non-drivers it is undoubtedly hard to. understand the ordeal that these poor " vigorous" students have just encountered. However, the sparkling student drivers can well picture the situation. Now, just what is this or- · deal? These poor creatures seen feebly entering t h e school have just pa rk ed their car:; in the Lincoln H i g h School parking lot!!! Think this is absurd? Try it once! First of all , t he bottom of their feet are completely warped the rest of the school day , after they ve done nothing more than to step from their vehicle which seems to be the normal thing to do, orito the unusually comfortable ground of the lot which is composed of rocks, boulders, cinder, and hard-to-crush paper cups. The most devastating of all problems, neverthel!!ss, is that of frantically swimming or wading through the millions , of muddy lakes · evenly dis· trihuted throughout the lot. This also accounts for the fact that some of our fellow sufferers appear to have recently wa.ded through th e swamps. Needless to say, a word of warning ! Be wise, and park your car, if you. have one, anywhere else but in the Lincoln High School parking lot!

Dr. Jones is representing Consumers, in the development of the Hallam, Nebraska atomic energy plant. At the beginning of his discussion Dr. Jones stressed the fact that a "working knowledge of the arts as well as sciences is needed in every job . • . for regardless of ideas, to be understood, you must be able to communicate with others intelligently, and fluently " Dr. Jones feels that a broad education is an important factor in students' lives. When pupils have comple~eq three or four. years of college, they are generally ready to pick their specialized field, particularly if they possess knowledge in several courses. The Plant
Dr. Jones went on to say that it has taken many years to pick the site of the Hallam Plant as many details accompany the formation of anything connected with atomic ma· terials. When asked what facts were considered when an atomic energy site is being chosen, he said, "l'here are many governing factors in choosing such a place. I will tell you of some that we considered." Hallam was selected because:
1. There had to be a logical· use of the plant-Beatrice and Lincoln could use electricity.
·
2. Access to a railroad state the Rock Island is near.
3. Close to a gas line for heating.
4. Removed from city-insurance companies give better rates if the plant is away from the ~ity.
5. It was necessary to purchase land without the penalty of speculation.
6. Necessary to locate near water, for aoolant of reactor.
"Odd though some of these reasons sound, if thought through we can see how these problems have connection and must be given careful consideration.
"The reactor will be expensive and the government will furnish that. It will be housed in a container of stainless steel, 27 feet high and 17 feet in diameter. This will be made in one piece in California and will have a top five feet thick of heavy concrete to check radiation.
"This reactor will produce electricity and the radiation can be used for the preservation of food.
"In 1961 it is hoped that a building, three · blocks long and two blocks wide, will begin to perform its functions properly."
As yet, Dr. Jones and his associates don't know how the ·plant will affect Lincoln personnally, however there will not be an influx of persons to man the plant. An operating force of 65-75people is all that will be needed but during the construction period several hundred workmen will have a part in seeing this building rise. This does concern you!
Having mentioned the many fields that have been involved thus far in this plant, we all see that there are opportunities, in the future, for us to participate in something as valuable and great as this is. While we are now studying mathematics, the sciences and English, remember these are the foundations of our "broad education." Perhaps you will want a, job in this plant some day or in one similar !Oit. Maybe you will be in a position to aid m the planning of one of these plants.
"It's not just today we plan for, we must plan for 30 years from now!"
Will Spring See You?
Achoo, cough, choke, get out the kleenex?
It's that time of year again.
Surprising us all, the cold bug seems to have made his attack. Consistant coughing spells and runny noses are the predominant trait in the majority of classes now. Standing in drafts and not wearing warm coats are just the tempting situations the "cold bug" is looking for. We all are hoping that spring is definitely here to stay. Remember to take care of yourselves and not to anticipate the coming of spring, for you want to be around to see it, don't you?

By Elizabeth Kaufman Hello,

one and all!
With all the homework and activities these past weeks, and the many more spring activities and homework yet to come, it ' s a wonder if we · ever have a momenes rest!
However, when the spare time does come, it's a good ' chance to get acquainted with the "reading habit." Check out a book from ·our ·Lincoln High School library, and just see how much relaxation you'll receive.
Youth, Youth, Youth is another terrific "triple title" book. It , was comprised and selected by Albert B. Tibbets, a native-born of Lincoln and former graduate of the Uni· versity of Nebraska In this· exciting collection of stories, thrilling modern• day, teenage examples of challenge, confidence, a n d comradeship are solved for you as the other fellow' meets your problems.
The basic teenage problems solved in this particular series include a football player who learns to work with the team, a boy who discovers he doesn't need a car to win a girl, and a young man who conquers fear by doing the thing of which he had so long been afraid.
The first, most tremendous, and greatest are the most appropriate adjectives in describing · the journal of a J a p a n e s e pltysician, Hiroshima l)iary, ·written by Dr • Michihiko Hachiya, director of an outstanding Hiroshima hospital.
· This is anhour-py-hour, dayby-day, eye-witness ~ccount of the atomic bombmg of Hiroshima and · ·the seven weeks that followed.- You see survivors of the first atomic bombing rise from horror to a state of grandeur'. · Recording his · story daily on such scraps of paper as he could find, Dr. Hachiya, even though being seriously wounded himself, keeps the hospital going in order to solve the scientific mystery of !he ef: fects of the new weapon upon his defeated fellow sufferers.
Trailing 'Boy Typist' Shows Typing ls -··An-Art In ItseH
Typing! Ah, yes, tis' an art in itself!
Ever wonder what makes a typist click? Well, taking a gander-into one of Lincoln High's m~ny typing classes would never.present th~ .'trut1to-llfe' story as it actually happens.
Our little typist makes his first move toward victory by shoving his way through a mob of s t u d e n t s leisurely blocking the door of the cy~wtlifug classroom. · · : ···
After this f i r s t brilliant move, our little man moves onward. He begins fumbling around With his fingers in some type of basket contraption sitting wobbly on the tippy-tjpJ>f the corner of a table, right next to the door. This so-called basket has undoubtedly beea put there daily for our little guy, for he has become expert in knocking it over-complete with stack of papers! After spending the first fif·:·

Music in the lounge White Shoulders
teen minutes frantically chasing fifty pieces of blank paper around the room, our boy "typist" is once again on the move. "Home Row" Keys :Paper's in the slot, and 1re's off! The first problem to face involves getting his fingers located on what are known as the "home row" keys. This, you see, is absolutely the first word, as far as necessity is concerned, before any typing can -;be clone. A·typist reaches all the other letters of the alphabet represented by keys from this position. Now that our boy has finally succeeded in this terri~,ly dif. ficult step, he actually ;,.begins to type But, wit:.hone ·minor overlooked detail, which has now resulted in an entire carriage swinging back and forth across the top. of his machine The simple explanation f o r this is that our e x p e r t typist forgot to set a left and a right margin. This determines the beg inning and the end of a line of type.
Typer ·In Trouble
Our guy, as usual, comes through by quickly adjusting · the margins. However, t h e first apparent problem confronting him is 'tabulation. But again he proves himself more than worthy of commendation in typing as he simply begins typing to his heart's content without once considering the fact that this entire problem is to be tabulation Tabulation,· by the way, consists of setting special , "m a r g i n s" at which the beginning of a line is typed F.inally, fifty gawdy erasures and forty minutes later, we find our boy is on his way to teacher's desk to hand in this forsaken masterpiece. Don t chuckle, for you, too, may someday ·unexpectedly find yourself seated before this apparently innocent machine. So, if, and when you do, keep in •mind the fact th at typing is indeed an art in itself!

26 Years Ago "Ghandi" haircuts were the fad of the LHS football pl.,_y. ers. It was a short bris tly hair-cut whic.h looked "Like a corn field after it's stalks h~ve been cut for fodder."

'Dead As ·A Doornail' Is Meaningful Saying CLUB CLIPPINGS
Words and phrases are often like persons, some are dull and .·boring while ot hers are delightful. Words, ·like people, also have histories and accounts based upon tradit ion. Some of the popular sayings used in every day ·conversation have very intere~ting background and meaningful signlficance. For instance how ofen have you beard the saying "Dead as a doornail?" Do you know why we use that expression? Doorbells, electric and mechani cal , are a comparatively recent invention. In earlier centuries visitors announced their coming by pounding with a knocker upon a small metal plate nailed on the door If the occupants of the house were busy it took several blows to attract attention. Thus nails holding the knock plate came in for a great deal of punishment. It was natural for householders to say that the li.fe was s o o n pounded out of such a nail, and nothing could be deader. Consequently, as ear~y · as 1350, dead as a doornail was being used to mean absolute lifelessness.

In early March, the Journal released its choices for the All City and State Teams, honoring the outstanding athletes in basketball, swimming, wrestling and gymnastics. Link Neil Unterseher was chosen to the ::lass AA Bask:etball team for the first year. This rugged, little guard set the pace for the Links in their State Championship success. The Unterseher smallest man by comparison on the All
The Sports Spotlight this issue turns on the spring ath_etics: baseball, track, golf and tennis.
The year 1957saw the golfers and netters taking the State Championships. The Baseball teain finished second, losing to Lincoln Northeast, and LHS Cindermen came out in fourth place. Here's wishing the coaches and their staffs the greatest success against what looks like first class competition.
Because of the tremendous amount of competition, many fine athletes were not ranked on the All City and All State teams. Consequently, the Waterboy would like to add to the distinguished list a personal selection of those who 'also ran.'
No school can produce a State Championship-winning basketball team without the teamwork of many. A more complete roster would certainly include such names as Don Burt, Paul Ude and Don Posey.
Unheralded gymnastson the Links squad are Dick Headley who consistently exhibited fine form on the trampoline; Dick McCoy who proved to be an all-round point getter; and John Zuerlein, an important Link in the gymnastic chain.
High on the list of 'rough n' ready' grapplers would be Larry Snyder and Gene "Eber" Tice.

commemorating their achievements.
The arts of running, jump-ing, and throwing have come down from antiquity. Man pelted beasts with rocks for food, but when he missed he had to run for safety. T h e fleet runner escaped to throw another day. With no desire to have some strange monster padding after him, these prehistoric trackmen practiced for both speed and accuracy. In ancient Greece where the mqs cular l>oqy was gJorified, the Marathon runner, broad jumper and discus t:1rower were the men of the day.

By SHARON ANDERSON Howdy, Well, Spring Vacation is only two days away! In case any .of you go to dances during the vacation, here is some good advice. Three Ways to Avoid Embarrassment When You Fall on the Dance Floor: 1. Just lie there, they'll think you've :fainted!! 2, Get up gracefully and act as though it were a new step. 3. Start m o p p i n g the floor with your handkerchief, they'll think you work there!!
Don't you agree with me that Joy Night was really a big success this year?? Congratulations, Jeannie Morrison, for being selected to go to Europe this summer. We're all real proud of you! Barbara Ilg: "Ray, when your mother takes her vacation I'll cook and darn your socks for you." · Ray Howlett: "Well, thanks, Barb, but just darn- ing them will be enough." Girls, you just have to come and see the "Shimmy- suits" in the Sportswear De- partment! The outfits have ankle-length pants with a matching checked draw- string blouse or a plaid middy. The checked blouses come in pink, blue or black and the middy blouses come in blue and white or pink and white plaid. You won't believe it but the outfit is only $5 99. Well, as two polar bears would say while sitting on an · iceberg, "Oq.r tails are told." (I know, I guess I need aHavevacation!!) lots of fun, · Sharon Mr. Big Burger

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1953
Better Never Than Late ''Hey,
assignment for today?" "Nope,
just hand it in next week, when I have more time." Some students are using this phrase as their favorite alibi. Often times we put off our duties until tomorrow or the next day and never manage to find time to get our tasks done.
Pupils should be busy working on different assignments important in various classes-book I reports, subject papers and daily assignments. There seems to be a tendency, on the student's part, to show a lack of interest in school studies Many outside activities often conflict with one's school responsibilities, .which results in inefficient work. This is especially true dttring the spring when the outside beckons to one, leaving school books unopened. Although "spring fever'; does pull us away from studies which we think boring and tiresome, we must try and realize the importance ' of maintaining a good standard that will last the entire sohool year.
Self-determination and self-respect should make us want to push forward, instead of shying away from school obligations. If we will remember not to wait to do things tomorro-w, what we can do today, it will be a great asset in promptness and efficiency.
Primping Not Acceptable
Strictly for the girls! Some of us of the gentler sex may have a talent we never knew about before, but our neighbors are very conscious of. When you get out the "war paint" look around and see where you are. Are you in a classroom where your fellow students and tea c~er are watching you apply your make-up or are yo,u in tffe--girls dressing room, per~ forming your art in privacy? ·
·The same goes for hair grooming. Can you blame teachers for getting upset wheri all they can see of you are your elbows in the air and bobby pins protruding from your mouth. It ·goes without saying that hair grooming is a private affair and never but never should pin. c:urls make an appearance in public. There's a time and place for everything. Watch others and see yourself mirrored in their eyes.

"Truly great fashions of the century" ·were worn by seniors on April 17 for all bystanders of Lincoln to see. How coll'-e, you ask? Well, this day niay never go down in history, but in the weary minds of seniors it will be a day-to remember! This day is known as "Hobo Day."
"Catthing" Sport After bowling three games, which is the necessary number needed to obtain an average, your arln feels as though it is about to fall off. But never fear, in a day or two you will be in the same shape as when you stal't.ed your venture, if not -better. So, .don't be leery of this "catching" sport, but try it. Girls, remember, it helps reduce that waist and hip line, and boys lifting those "b i g heavy balls" builds muscles galore!.

Hello, all! Anxious for sum• mer vacation? Gosh, only a few more days to go before the big Jamboree! ! With everyone taking ~n active part, it should certainly make the remaining school days more bearable." But sometime between now and the Jamboree, there will always be those few "spare minutes" that will make summer vacation seem even further away. Why not fill that spare time by checking out a book from our LHS library, and settling back in a nice, big, comfort· able chair?
God and My Country, a novel written by MacKenlay Kantor,. is a book that will take ai{ evening to read and a lifetime to forget MacKenlay Kantor, the master of the warm and human story, makes us believe the good in the worst of us, by writing a compelling, appealing novel about the life of a simple American man who held in his care the destinies of hundreds of boys. Yes, this is the first time a major writer has portrayed the Scoutmaster in a small town in a role that is as vital as the greatest -of · schoolmasters, doctors, priests, or ministers. With rare insight and sympathy, MacKinlay Kantor has created the unfor• gettable and memorable Lem Siddons, who gave forty years of his life, knowledge, and sympathy, MacKenlay Boy Scouts

The Sea Gulls Woke Me is another typical teenage story written by Mary Stolz. It is the story of Jean, who was probably the only girl in the high school with hair long enough to sit on. No matter what Mother said, Jean knew that the mature-looking style in which her hair was imprison ed all day was anything but what a girl's hair should be - her crowning glory. Yes, loneliness had long ago taught Jean that, pretty t h o u g h she seemed to Mother, to teenage eyes she was not worth a second glance.
Things took an opposite direction, however, while Jean was spending the summer at her uncle's hotel on an i slan d in Maine. When leaving the be auty salon, her curly hair bobbing .about her ears she felt, for the first time, like a girl of sixteen!!

Fair To Be Annual Event
May 23, 1958 1 is the date set for the first Industrial Arts Fair to be held at the Lincoln Pub 1 i c Schools Activities Building.
This proposed Fair has been set up to display the works of all junior and senior high boys from the various Lincoln schools, who are in the industrial arts program. Between two and three thousand exhibits and demonstrations are expected. These displays will include such crafts as: woodworking, metal, leather, etc.
·
According to Ed Schwartz• koph , General Chairman of the Fair, "We hope that this exhibit will stimulate the in• terest of both students and parents in our industrial arts program." -
According to recent surveys, there are now five engineers ·to every technician, however, these figures should be reversed. This can be accomplished by acquainting the public with the work and achievements of the ·industrial arts program. This also provides an incentive among the boys to produce higher workmanship.
A special invitation is being sent to all sixth grade boys, to introduce them to the pos· sibilities of this program.· During the exhibit, refreshments will be served, at which time, a number of displays will be selected by the various instructors to be sent to Detroit, at the National Fair.

During the 1958 gymnastic season, Coach Phil Sprague counted heavi).y on point-getters like Dick Headley. The need was there and Headley supplied. With the support of musclemen of this caliber, Mentor Sprague put forth a fine showing for Lincoln High. Coaches like Sprague have hopes for the future success of athletes on their team, and in late April of this year; they paid off. Dick Headley, senior trampoliitist, came home from Chicago with the trampoline championship in the Natioaal Novice tournament under his belt. Recognition is due to Coach Sprague for his patience in training and to Dick for his athletic prowess. Once again, Lincoln ffigh School has come out on top of the heap in the inter-city track competition. Link thinclads copped the track championship for Lincoln Friday, May 2. This is a commendation in itself to the experience of the coaching staff under ;Harold Scott and to the ability of the LHS cindermen.

Judy (Emmett) Feather is our first grad4ating senior.
While in Lincoln High, her fa vorite pastimes have included going to the pits , getting int o rumbles with a certain senior boy, and just plain having fun. Being a cheerleader and helping the team to win st ate was ·probably her most r emembered · event in L.H.S.

Our Sincerest Regards
We feel that a "vote of thanks" is in order as this school year closes. This year some members of Lincoln High'~ faculty are retirjng.
• • • I Football and baseball are the favorite sports of Don Trippel. As a ·sophomore, Don participated in Reserve football and baseball and earned a certificate in wrestling Don's biggest thrill was receiving a 1 on his senior theme. Don's pet peeve is a certain senior girl that is never r ea dy. Don is in the Business Administration curriculum - and is planning to attend the University of Nebraska.

• * • • Barb Benzel is our next prlncipal subject. Barb lists her biggest thrills as passing one of Mr. Colson's chem tests and the date of May 1, 1958. While at L.H.S. she has been a Coed Counselor, Pepper, president of Junior Red Cross Council, and on honor roll. Her favorite foods include anything that is edible. Barb's future plans include attending Lawton · School for Medical Assistants in Beverly Hills, California. * *·
«Getting a car for graduation" is Stan Tyrrell 's biggest · thrill. While at L H S. Stan has participated in Intramural Bowling and ha,s been a LINKS salesman. Golf and bowling are among his favorite sports. As for a favorite food Stan says, "Y ou name it and I like it!" His pet peeve is the familiar "sack" dress.

Picnics Are 'Composed'
Much to the consternation of several Lincoln High clubs, their annual picnics at Pioneers Park have been abruptly brought to a halt this year. · · As was brought to our attention, when plans for Jamboree Day were made, all school activities are to be held on the Link's own "c ain pusf' -We understand the confusion of arranging for 1700 students to be at Capitol Beach for a school picnic but it seems feasible that the smaller, individual clubs could hold their traditional picnics off the school grounds, providing that they conduct themselves in a courteous Lincoln High manner. Each club has a particular function or goal but another reason for groups assembling .is to bring students, who have similar interests, together, not only to cultivate their common interest but to promote fellowship with their friends. Consequently, because of the ruling and lack of convenient facilities, this group act ivity has hit a low mark.
· The picnic facilities at LHS are limited as is evident for all to see. It would be to the benefit of the school and pupils if some provisions should be made on the red and black grounds for this traditional club entertainment or the school board should make an -allowance for get-to-gethers of this t ype.
Advo~ate Has Meaning
"All good things mu st come to an end" and the Advocate staff feels this way as their experience in as sembling your newspaper terminates. '!'hey think it was a "good thing" for skill, knowledge and much fun was added to their II1emories of Lincoln High. The staff members have written their stories with the student's inter e sts in mind. Any misspelled names or errors of omission or · commission were unintentional.
• • • Ronnie Bond, a "tubby" · senior, states his biggest thrill will be to graduate from Lincoln High. His p et pe eves include all the senior girls and he can often be heard saying "isn't it ?" While in L.H.S. Ronnie's main interestts have included baseball. .and- -g ymnastlcs (an d ·plzza ). In.·,oppositlon with an earlier statement, R onnie says that the three years at L.H.S. have been great and he 'll hate to leave. After graduation, he plans to enter ~aw College at the University of Nebraska.
