New Fad's Fun; Good for Figure

Do you know what a hula hoop is? Just look on any st reet and you're sure to find every kid in the neighborhood with one twirling around their h ips As a matter of fact not just every kid but everyone from pre -school age to mothers and fathers who are trying t o reduce.

You still don't know what they are? We'll try to explain. They're a large plastic ring, about 3 feet in diameter, and come i n almost any color Their popu larity has spread like wildfire all over the United States Mrs. Alice Updegraft said that when she was visiting California the first part of July t he fad was just beginning ·to catch on out there By the end of August the fad had spread clear to the East Coast. There are all kinds of tricks that can be performed with the hula hoop. You can jump rope twirl it around your leg , arm, neck , or hips, or make up tricks of your own Now that you know all about the hula hoop why don't you try to manipulate one I did and it 's an experience I'll never forget! !!

This first issue of the Advocate may look a little different from those of previous years, but the same type of material is in it. We try, as did our predecessors, to follow the same ethics of good news_{)aperwritingaccuracy, promptness, openmmdedness, neutralness and good taste.

In order to produce a newspaper that fulfills all your needs our staff is made up of persons who have a "nose for news". Some of the characteristcs required to be competent reporters are: loyalty, dependability, accuracy, promptness, thoroughness, friendliness and interest. That's what it takes to be · on the staff!

We feel that you, the reader, should know what goes on in our "mad house," room 219, each sixth period. That is where we put your paper together

We rush around in a mad hurry assigning stories, interviewing people, taking pictures , and exercising our brains in search of original material. When that is accomplished we type, correct and type again. Page editors lay out the stories, rush them down to the printers, a few minutes before the dealine, and hope for good results That 's how we operate! You may ask why we do such things? Well,· it's all for you, reader. We not only try to tell you what goes on in Lincoln High, but we try to present your ideas and truly represent our school to · our own and 'other communities.

If you have any complaints we want to hear them. That's what the "Letters to the Editor" column is for. Just shove a note under the " mad house" door or give it to one of the staff, and we'll try to see that things get settled.

We also ·would aprpeciate your favorable comments, via the same "under-the-door" route.

We hope you get some information , ideas, laughs and all around good use of your copy of the Advocate.

Sophs Find Lincoln High Interesting, Challenging

There is a world of difference between high school and junior high and this world is spanned by the sophomore class Once one enters high school, he le aves jun. ior high behind a nd begins a new life made up of whirl of new friends, new activities, and new interests. Naturally t he sophomor e is somewhat impressed by this Everyone has his own opinions of high school life; of course , it would be impossible to know what every sophomore thinks of Lincoln High, so a represen tative group has been asked some general questions concerning "first impressions. " Dean Busch, Roger DeBrown, Corey Gacusana; and Ron Rosenberg stated t hey looked forward to the competitive sports program more than anything else. Corey Gacusana ready t o fo ll ow in his brother Joe's footsteps, says he wants to pla y football more than anything else. Dean Busch fe e ls that the Lincoln High gym program offers better · classes than junior high, especially swimming. Roger DeBrown thinks that one of the biggest differences betweenhigh school and junior high is that a student is free to decide what he is in terested in and that each student has an opportunity to jo i n in activities to his own liking "Everyone is working in the interest of the school," he continued. Roger a lso looked forward to making new friends. Most of the students have some feeling toward study halt If I didn 't have study · hall, I wou ld have to carry home all my books instead of just four ," explained Ron Rosenberg Sharon An~erson thinks it is a "nice place to write notes and letters." It could be she doesn' t have enough assignments. "If I don 't have studies, I can always read magazines," says Dean Busch. Corey Gacusa na thinks it would be boring if there were no assignments to complete

Both Sharon Anderson and Linda Kempkes think that the Sophomore Counselors is a beneficial organization. "They help you get acquainted with t he school so it won't seem so strange the first days," thinks Linda Kempkes. Lin• da also feels t ha t the "l unch hours are so different a nd a lot shorter than junior high."

"A lot more kids a nd much more no ise is one of tlie main differences between junior high and high school," states Sharon An-

Hi y' all, "At Random " is ·back again this year. If some of you kids don't know quite what i t is, don 't feel dense. This writer , for sure, does not know any more than you do!! So if you'll just bear with me for awhile 'til I get the hang of it, we just may have a good column going here. One of the main features of the column is to acquaint LHS students with our school library. If we took advan tage of the reference materials and books in it our grades would really improve. To encourage students to keep up on the news, the library this year will have in addition to the Lincoln Journal and the Lincoln Star, a copy of the Christian Scicence Monitor and the Sunday edition of the New York Times. These newspapers are placed on the newsrack and are available before and after school for students who do not have a library period during the day. · The list of periodicals which is available is so varied and interesting you're missing a good opportunity if you don't become familiar with at least five or six new magazines you ha ven't read before. If you're taking American His• tory, don't forget to look over American Heritage. It's full of unusual articles that are so richly illustrated they're sure to help you. Athletic Journal and Sports Illustrated are good magazines for you fellas who are interested in sports On the other hand, if you have a hobby you d like to know more about, a new subscription to Hobbies is available. · The only thing the library asks is that we treat books and periodicals carefull y so that others may use them * * * *

Study Fun!

Here's Howl

Studying is an ar t i n a field of its own Most students , by the time they reach high school, discover they do not know how to stud y effectively.

There are many steps of preparation you must take before you begin to study, First, and maybe most important, is to gather up enough food to hold you through the hours of diligent work. One bottl e of pop, pepsi is usually preferred because it is less fattening; a s~dwich or two; some potato chips corn chips, or crackers; and a few other assort ed odds and ends will probably satisfy your hunger pangs for the dur ation of study time.

It is imp ortant, and this can't be stressed too much, to find a correct place to stud y You must be close enough to the TV to catch a few words and maybe aglimpse of a- picture now and then; you must also be within hearing distance of the radio so you can catch the titles of t he latest platters recorded by the "one and only" someone or other. Comfort is the third facto r in considering a place to study. Be sure to have a chair which is suitab le for hanging the legs over one arm and the he ad over the other

Now you are all set except for a recent publication of Mad, Teen, Dig, or Seventeen. This is for the light, "in between" reading which relaxes your mind for your next subjec t.

·Another thin g of interest Jeannie learned was that the f arme rs still wear the famous Dutch wooden shoes. They are e specially popular in northern Holl and.

Holland and the Dut ch people made such a great impression on Jeannie that in five or six years she's hoping to re turn for a visit. Chip Kuklin left Lincoln June 10. Before he le ft the St ates he visited in Chicago Washington D C. and New York City. On J une 23, he sailed from th e States on the Johan von Oldenbarnevelt.

This was the longest such cruise since 1938. "Good thing a storm didn't come up or we really would have been in a fix!" Chip reported.

The ship docked in Amsterdam and he reached Stuttgar t by t r ain. In Stuttgart Chip lived with the Held family. He had two brothers, aged 16 and 19 years.

Chip s father was a traveling engineer and Ch ip reall y trave led. He sp ent three weeks in Hoh; vacht by the Baltic Sea "The only bad thing about t his was that it rained constantl y. Whenever it did clear up, I went swimming and nearly froze."

Chip didn't get many opport unities to brush up on his German dur ing h i s :visit there. Everyone knew how to speak English and wanted to speak with him in English.

Among his interesting experiences was a visit t o the Mercedes and Benz car factory in German y He was able to visit tw o of the five factories and was able to see much more than most touris ts This was possible because his olded brother was an apprentice in one of them

The Black Forest of Germany was h is most enjo yable experience. " It was really ver y beaut iful! " •he remembers. Both Jeannie •and Chip wen t to reunions of all the exchange students in each country. Tours discussions, an all around good time were had by both Chip and Jeannie returned to America on the same sh ip, the Johan van Oldenbaruevelt, "This poor ship just seemed to have bad luck. " About half way across the Atlantic the cooling syst em went out of order The ship remained in the middl e of the ocean for 17 hours, until i t was repaired.

HonorRollISAttainable

"The Honor Roll!" you exclaim. "I can't get on it, I'm not a brain."

Well, you're all wrong It isn't reserved for the so-called "brainy" students at all. You, too, can make it! You say, "How? By studying all the time? Oh, no, not me! I want to have a little fun while I'm in high school."

You don't have to study all the time. But, of course, you can't get on the Honor Roll by just cramming before tests and having fun the rest of the time. No, that 's not the answer.

"Well, how then can I make it?" yo-g.may wonder. Studying consistently each day will go a long way. It'll go a lot further than too much at odd intervals. If you don't believe this is a sound study practice , just try this technique for a few weeks. -

"MayI Suggest .... " · -

"Change the records - in the juke box!"

Is that what our suggestion box is for???

Of course not! However, 99% of the suggestions are on th at · order. The Student Council put the suggestion box in the lounge so the students could make intelligent suggestions or constructive critici sms about the lounge nr any other school facilities or activities. This is your voice in the student government. If you have a gripe or a compliment, write it down and drop it in the suggestion box. Your cooperation will be appreciated. Remember, it isn't a joke box but a suggestion box, put there to help you, the student body.

The Student Lounge Your Responsibility

We are all familiar with the S t u d e n t Lowige but does everyone realize what a good thing we have? The whole school, sponsored by the Student Council, provided and furnished the Hi-Spot for the students' recreation. The Hi-Spot is considered the "living room" of the school and it is the responsibility of every student to help maintain the lounge as the pride and joy of Lincoln High School.

Here is an idea of how much money has gone into our beautiful lounge The juke box cost $985 and the records are changed every two weeks. The new healing system, separate from the rest of th e school, cost $983. The attractive knotty pine panelling cost $400 and it was put up by our carpentry shop. The lovely red and black furniture in the Hi-Spot cost $2,900 ·The n ewly installed handrails cost $70 and our doors which were designed and d ecorated by our Art Class cost $60. It cost us $260 to r efinish the floor and $40 for the signs on the walls. Footstools are to be put in soon for th e students to put their feet on instead of th e furniture.

Future plans for the room include some work and remodeling on the supper section of the lounge and it is plann ed to paint the walls above th e knotty pine panelling. The Art Departme nt is :planning to make two mosiacs to help beautify our Hi-Spot. A very expensive Hi-Fi system is in so that Hi-Fi records can be playe d from the sound room.

Now, don't you think our lounge is nice enough to keep clean and have pride in ? Some people don't seeni to appreciate this luxury. They are th e ones who put their feet on th e furnitur e and kick waste pap er baskets over, the careless ones.

A pl an is und er c onsideration by the Student Council to exclude p eople f rom t h e lounge if th ei r conduct makes it necessary.

The Student Coun cil n eeds your help to keep the loun ge clean. It is every stud ent's responsibility We should t ake pride in our lounge and keep it beautiful so th at others will admire it as we do; Your h elp will be greatly appreciated.

Girls' Spirits High

Rah! Rah! Rah! This is a very ty pical sound heard around • the halls in October and November. The juniors girls are practicing cheers, having cheer parties and rubbing "Charley Horses " With the Apprentice Cheerleader tryouts coming up in November all the "ho pe ful s " are getting their spirits aroused. It is necessary to st art learning the LHS cheers now so they will be perfected by November. The boys may think the girls crazy when they see them carrying their books in one hand and motioning the cheers with the other. The boys will also be i nt erested in knowing that "good ole LlIS " once had boy cheerleaders and boys are now very welcome to tryout. Who knows, the old custom may return a n d think, girls, what fun the practices would be!

These are some of the statistics that she has compiled. In 1955, 92 history books were checked out from the library, however, in 1958, 182 history books were checked out. Also, in '55, 373 fiction books were checked out but in '58 539 were. Some other statistics prove the same point, that the LHS library is being used more than ever.

State Journalists To Meet Nov. 7-8

Publication staffs are preparing themselves f or the 27th annual Nebras ka High School Press Association to be held November 7-8 on the University of Nebraska campus Mrs. Ruth Gartner, s po nsor, announced that both the ADVOCATE and LINKS staffs will attend the convention.

The convention will begin Friday morning and last until Saturday noon. Highlight will be an awards luncheon Saturday when Dr. Gayle Waldrop, Dean of the College of Jounalism at the Uni• versity of Colorado, will speak on "The Awards and Rewards of Journalism."

Other points of interest at the convention will include panel dis-

Don't Shirk Your ·Responsibility!

Are you a 'name signer'? A!e you _one ~f those penmen who cannot resist puttmg his name on any surface not otl:erwise occupied?

Do you have a compulsion t~ sign on the dotted line? In other words. IS your name attached to everything? Ha-re you ' signed up'?

Signing up for activities, clubs, and benefits IS a laudable trend among high school students. It shows interest · and a desire to participate in an activi1Y. It indicates that the student is ready, Vl;illing,and able to ~o his share. Above all, 1t shows that that J.J?,dividual has given his solemn pledge, his word, his NAlVJ..E, as a bond that he wlll meet the obligations that he has imposed upon himself.

A man's signature is not lightly taken or given in the adult world today , A name _on a lease, on a loan, on a check, on a votmg record stands for all to see that, after consideration, the individual has committed himself to follow through with that activity. He signs and seals his future reput ation for depe.idability with his name

It is an unfortunate fact that to some signing up is not necessarily ~~cceeded ~y carrying through the responsibility! It IS unfortunate that 'signing up' mer~ly means 'if it is convenient,' 'if there's nothmg better to do' or if I get around to it'. On Thursday of the Teachers Convent!on rece ss a test arranged for by Lmcoln High Schooi,- was set up by the Lincoln Employment Service to help with job placement for students not going to college after graduating.

Ninety-one Lincoln High students signed up to take advantage of this opportunity. Ninety-one students accepted the responsibility of presenting themselves at the school for a service that mi~ht directly affect. each individual's future. Nmety-one people signed up-sixteen showed up! Important Contact Missed Yes incredible as it may seem, only sixteen students from the long list that had assumed the responsibility of their own signatures had the foresight to appear This was an important meeting-one that may well have a bearing on the work future, the economic well-being of the individual. Only sixteen honored their responsibility. Any sweeping statement that "all st}ldents are unreliable" would be a gross mISstatement However, it is unfortunately a fact that ·too many teenagers take their obligations lightly to their ~verlastini disadvantage. Much more than lllCOJ?-Ve~~nce t? the group · depending on the mdiVIdual IS at stake. Repeated violations of trust and responsibility may well create an atmosp~ere of distrust that may react unfavorably agamst young peoµle. It certainly seems to fo~low, then, that 'signing up' has more meamng than. merely putting your name on the ~o~~e? hne It means weighing the r~spons,bilit1~s, 1mderstanding them, and fmally carrymg them through.

Disheartened Be Brave

Sooner or later, it happens to · the best of us. The rules say to "be brave," but who follows rules?

When that certain somebody gives you up for the curvy blond "'.ho is new in school, the best thmg to do is to enjoy your broken heart. A great amout of miserable happiness can be obtained from these suggestions.

1. When you first hear ihe bad · news, go straight to King's, order a Super-Sundae and gorge until you are sick.

2. Slap your younger brother several times when you get the chance. (Beat him up if he's actually done anything at all wrong.)

3. Lol!k yourself in the family bathroom for a day It will attract attention to your problem, anyway! · ·

4. Start some nasty rumors about his new girlfriend. Any old lie will do, just so it's forceful!

5. Sneak up behind your Casanova and kick him. HARD! But duck before he sees you!

6. Go downtown and charge a big bill of new clothes to your parents.

7. Start dating either the neatest boy in school ,or your old beau's best friend! Or for that matter, start dating anyone; you will be surprised how soon you're actually enjoying life again!

Hi everyone,

We missed you last issue, so let's try to make up for it this time Okay?

While browsin through the library shelves, I found two books that should be good to read. The reason for this is because I feel that they are a more 'off-beat' type than many of us ever read.

"The Joy Train" by Douglas Fairbarn is a clever n o v e l of guilt and responsibility. Juve Campbell, a talented 17 year old boy who aspires to become a great painter, signs his name to several paintings that were not entirely his own. This is discovered. His parents 'forgive and forget,' but somehow Juve can't.

Harvard is his first stop on the Joy Train, where he studied just enough to stay in, while partying constantly Guilt remained with Juve and eventuall y drove him to manual jobs, which he felt he needed to prove his worth.

He finally ends up in an Air Force hospital as a guinea pig for a dangerous experiment, wondering just why his life turned out this way. How was that for a different story? The other book I want to tell you about is for the girls It's 'Come Dance With Me' by Ninette de Valois, a book of her memoirs of the ballet. During her career she danced for and met some great personalities In ·her book she reveals them to the readers as she saw them: She started the Royal Ballet and danced in almost every major ballet company. So all you aspiring ballerinas take note!

Book Week is being observed throughout the United States, November 2-8.

Quotable Quiz

To keep in with the theme of the year this week's roving reporter asked this question of the LHS students, "What did you do Halloween?" Which resulted in some interesting answers.

Donna Felt-Got together with my ghoul friends · Jackie Johnston-Watched LHS play those horrible spooks from Tech. Charlene Hamilton-looked for the KOIL trick or treat house. Mary Kay Rowen-Looked for the KOWH Halloween house and tried to beat Charlene. Audrey Grisinger-Caught a ghost.

They don't think I kn ew, but I DO KNOW. You see, more than one pupil from this school bas skipped. My trouble is catching them. I have only been able to apprehend one young man. I called his home and said, "ls this Mr. Bulgebottom?" Well, I had an idea that it was the boy himself, but I had to be sure. So anyway, he said yes, and I asked him if his son was ill So he said , "Yes, I most certainly am." Well, anyway, I never can get hold of t h o s e skippers. Honestly, I just don't know what to do.

Her favorite pastime is watching "Gregore" on 1 TV; Her secret desire is to go to Bee, Nebraska, sometime (yea, Witt) Her most scared moment was the time she almost caused a traffic jam at KING'S and the wickedest thing she has ever done was helping throw Judy Garner in the shower.

BoardPassesRule · On Concessions

A new policy concerning the sale of concessions in the Lincoln Schools was made by the Board of Education. According to a directive issued by the board, there will be no candy or carbonated drinks sold before school in the morning, at noon or any time during the school day. However; catbonated drinks will be sold from 11:50 to 1:15 and all concession machines will be open after 3:15 every day, according to Mr. William Bogar. There are certain food items · that the Board has approved for sale before school or at noon. These items are the non-candy ones that normally have been on sale in the machines. The Board feels that it is important for students to take advantage of the ·cafeteria facilities and eat substantial meals each day. "It is hoped that the student body ·understands this policy and will cooperate in seeing that it is carried through," stated Mr. El• don Heskett, concessions superviser.

The '58 Links finished the season with a 5-3 recard, won the City Championship, were ranked sixth in the state and wound up 2-2 against Omaha schools. When it's considered that Lincoln High plays one of the toughest grid slates in the state, one can realize what a tremendous job it is for a coach to have a winning season in his first year as head mentor. The WATERBOYsalutes two great coaches, Jim Sommers and Dick Beechner, for doing a real good job this fall.

* * * * · The WATER.BOYwishes to expre&sthanks to Tim Gartner for covering several football games this fall. · · Need Support Hey! How about some support for the wrestling, gymnastics and swim.mingteam this year. The boys on these teams work just as hard as the so-called "major" sports and deserve some loyal support. Most of the meets are held shortly after school in the Activities Building ·and are free of charge. An athlete's ~rformance often depends on 'who' and 'how many' are watching him. If he knows the students are behind him, he'll -really shine in his event. This was very well exhibited in the State Wrestling Meet; held last year at Lincoln High ~d attended by many LHS students. The Links wrestling team took third in the state, as the boys put forth their best effort of the season. That "little extra" can be the difference between winning and losing, so c'mon out and help keep the fine LHS spirit alive.

Winter Sports Schedules

Link Reserves Rip NE

Winter Sport, Outlook Bright

Here is a rundown of the upcoming winter sports.

WRESTLING

The future of the '58-'59 wrestling team looks real good, with ten lettermen returning, including three two-year letter winners. The team should have plenty of talent in · the middle-weights but may lack experience in the heavyweights. There are twelve weight classes, ranging from 95 lb. to heavyweight. Coach Harold Gilliland states that this should be a stronger team than 'last year's, which finished third in the state. The two-year lettermen are Jay Parsons, John Jett and Gaylon McWilliams. In the State last year, Mcwilliams was runner•up in the 112 lb. class and Jett was 2nd in the 95 lb. division. However, Jett will be in a heavier weight 1;lass this year. Parsons took third in the 103 in the State. Lettermen Terry Allgood, Jim Eitel, · Ed Barnhill, Art McWilliams (3rd in State), Rollin Bam• mer (4th in State), Stan Fraley (4th in State) and Eber Cooper also return for the matmen, who start their season December 15, in the Lincoln Invitational, to be held at LHS with eight schools competing.

GYMNASTICS

Although they don't open their season until January 28, the gymnastic team started ·practice November 17. Coach Phil Sprague and his new assistant, Dean Claw, son urge all sophomores, juniors, and seniors to come out for the team. A new feature for gym. nasties this year is that there will be no Novice team, but a regular Reserve squad. Last year the Links' Novice team won the State Championship Lettermen John Zuerlein , Dick McCoy, Darrel Stanard and Terry Chandler return to C o a c h Sprague's team this year. Dave McMullen, a squadman, will be back and up from la.st year's Novice squad are Dick Castigliano, Larry Grenemeier, Rollin · Michaud, George Moroz, Tom Sitz.. man, Larry TeSelle, Vic Turley and Don Wise.

SWIMMING

"Have-to-leave-early"

you may wonder. Well, read on and find out. ·.·

Everyone knows at least one "have-to-goearly" person. (This trait is usually characteristic to girls.) There is one at every committee or club meeting. You know who I mean, don't you? The one who always leaves right after roll is taken, or 15 minutes after the meeting starts, or right in the middle of a speaker's talk or a movie.

Oh, pardon! Are you one of them? We hope not, but if you are, don't get angry but read on and take a good look at yourself ·from the other ·person's view point.

Put yourself in a speaker's place. Imagine how humiliated you would feel if two or three people left every five minutes of your talk? Wouldn't you feel · like quitting and · never coming back? · Just think, after all the time you spent preparing for the program. You'd really get disgusted!

Of course, there are exceptions and occasions arise when you ·must leave the gathering early. Work, doctors' appointments, etc, are popular excuses. But, you should have have known before you joined a club if you're going to have to work, and doctors appointments can be for 15 minutes later or on other than club nights.

Money collecting campaigns are always going on for some reason or other. We're always being asked to contribute or help in , any w.ay we c~; Sometimes it gets to be ''old stuff," but then on the second thought

maybe we should think about this a little more. This week, the March of Dimes drive is on. Everyone probably ·knows that the March of Dimes had much to do in the 'discovery of the Salk vaccine and also the rehabilitation of crippled children. - Many feel that there · is no more use for the March of Dimes money since polio is licked, but there are still 150,000 afflicted people to be taken care of.

This year a new program is being started and research in arthritis, birth diseases, and other virus 'diseases has begun. Every cent will count and your help will be needed. CLINTONDAY

Clinton Day will be held tomorrow and is being sponsored by Y-Teens. If you're wondering what Glinton is, here are a few facts. , Clinton High School was bombed and the little town in Tennessee does not have the necessary funds to re-build their school Until a new school is built the students are attending classes in grade s<:hools. Imagine yourself going to grade school! Offers · of reduced rates from the builders union, brick layers union, and other contractors have been made. One great gain is that ·they are able to buy bricks for ten cents each. · The Y-Teens took this project up as a service project and will ask for your help tomorrow.

how much heart we really have. Join the · March of Dimes and help the Y-Teens out tomorrow. Remember, a dime (one coke) is worth a lot. We all can give up at least that much!

Last Minutes Count!

There are still two minutes playing time left in the game. Who are all those kids walking toward the exit? Don't,they see the clock? ·

Yes, they probably know that there is time left in the game, but they want to avoid getting in a huge crowd of people

But what about the kids who want to watch the finish of the game? Is it courteous to start moving down the stairs, thus blocking their view? Is it loyal to the members of the team to walk out on them when they are still playing for all they are worth?

Is it so awful to get into a big crowd? Well, maybe it is a little inconvenient, but it is as easy to wait ;i couple of minutes until the crowd thins out as it is to leave before the end of the game. Besides showing courtesy to fellow spectators and loyalty to the team, there is something to be gained by staying to the end 'of the game. Many last minute points have won or lost a game. These are often the most ex, citing minutes of a game.

So bear in mind that no one wants to be labeled impolite or inconsiderate. Stay and watch the last few minutes of all our games!

Parking Lot May Go

ln Days To Come

Possible prospect of the future: Lincoln High with no student parking lot. Why no parking lot? we ask. The answer comes from Mr. Future, "Very few students may drive, because the age requirement is now 18." ·

"Oh ,no," we protest, "that can't be; When we went to school the age limit was 16. We all drove! It was one of our first privileges as young adults and we really cherished that drivers' license."

•

Mr. Future replies, "That isn't the ·way I heard it! In 1958 the Third National Conference , on Drivers' Education strongly recommended that states raise to 18 the age at which drivers' licenses may be obtained. It seems they didn't think the kids had done very well at safe driving. The toll of driving accidents of teenagers has · continued to mount and authorities began to think that to curb the reckless teenage drivers they would have to refuse licenses to all, both the careful and the careless."

''Let's forget there was a Mr. Future," we tell ourselves as we come back to the present. But what Mr. Future said is being stated by many people today. These people feel that teenagers have shown themselves to be incapable of driving well, and so should have this privilege withdrawn until they are · eighteen.

But is age, alone, a good criteria for judging safe drivers? It this action necessary or practical? Must we be denied a drivers license at 16, or can we begin to assume driving responsibility as young adults? This question may soon be asked of

and we will have to provide the

It's up to us.

Watch Yourself Boys· Manners Are Showing -

When you call for a girl to take her on a date do you sit in the car and honk the horn or do you walk up to the door and call for her? Do you let her put her coat on or do you help her? Do you dash through a door first or do you step aside for her? Which one are you? · How many of you think of manners when taking a girl out? Manners!?? Who needs manners.? Some of you may feel that way about the situation, but do you realize how much good ,manners help? You may think it's sissy stuff and not for you. Well, broth· er, you sure are mistaken. You think your charms (muscles, looks , "L" pin, or what have you) will get you a girl. It may attract the girl to you, but what will hold her? You probably wonder what manners have to do with it. Well, they have a lot to do with it. How? Well, let's loo~ at some. Honking ls Taboo! Instead of honking your horn and raising a lot of racket the neighbors and parents don't like, you walk up to the house and get introduced to her parents. If you hang out there all the time, still walk up and ring the bell, don't just walk in like you live there Help her on with her coat instead of letting her fumble, bend and twist around trying to do it herself. Well, you think, why should

I? She's not helpless, and besides, who does it when I'm not there? That's the worst att itude you can take. You don 't help her because she's helpless , but because it is the thing to do. It shows consideration and good upbringing. She thinks more of you and her parents probably think you're a real nice boy. To have parents on your side is always best, you know.

ior is "graduating, I hope." While at LHS Hank has played reserve and varsity football and is a member of the "L" club. Hank lists his three last wishes as: "1) All the shells I can shoot in my 32-20 lever action rifle, 2) A paint job on my '38 Ford, and 3) Electricity at the cabin so we can watch "The Rifleman." He claims that on his 81st birthday he is going out with bis "lever action" and rattle out a few and · celebrate. Hank's most treasured possession is his ten foot bull whip (by golly)!!!

Hank plans to attend the University of Nebraska. The feller peekin' through the horned rimmed glasses is our second Thumbnails personality, Del Howland. He says, "The best thing about being a senior is that now I can see why the "L" club and the Peppers holler across the gym floor at one another and carry ori in such a way." Some of Del's high school activities are choir, opera committee, movie operator and getting along with a certain senior student. Del claims that his maddest moment was when Leroy Colson told him that copper sulfate crystals would grow faster than potassium nitrate crystals. "It 's been six weeks now!!!" says Del very disgustedly. When asked how he is going to celebrate his 81st birthday, Del said, "I think I'll turn over in my casket just like Gregore does."

He will attend the Gulf Coast Bible College in Houston, Texas, this fall. Our third subject is H e I e n Rasmussen who says, "The best thing about being a senior is just being a senior. Honestly, I didn't think I'd make it."

Helen's high school activities include Aqualinks Secretary, ECA Committee, Joy Night participant, Peppers, Sophomore Girls Glee, Junior Girls Glee and Senior Choir. Helen says that she has three last wishes. The first, to be a missionary in darkest Africa, the second, to become president of the ATO fraternity (hope you make it) and the third wish is a secret (and she never tells a secret!). She claims, ''The messiest things I ever saw were the senior girls at my Come-As-You-Are party one morning bright a n d · e a rl y On her 81st birthday, Helen is going to ask the whole 1959 class and the Faculty to join her and spend a night with Gregore.

Our shortest personality of t his week is Karen Thurston who relates her maddest moment as the time the punch ran out after the Silver Bells Tea. KT's activities at high school include Peppers, Vars i ty and Apprentice Cheerleader, Homecoming at tendant, International Club, Mimes, Sophomore Girls Glee and Nurses Club. Her last three wishes are for a house, a car and a wedding ring. Karen has two event~ tha t s h e would like · to relive: t he first , New Year s Eve 1958, and t he second, Janice Marler's party. One thing in her past tha t she would like to change is the nigh t she ran ()Ut of gas on "0." Street and the s e v e n girls with her had to push The change would be seven boys to ,help. On her 81st birthd ay she would like to return to LIIS and wonder what the younger generation is coming to. (Now now, don 't be an old fogy.) Her most treasured possession is a certain senior boy. Judy Garner, the fifth in the line up states her m addes t moment as "When I'm · really serious · and people laugh at me." While at Ll!S, Judy ha~ been an Apprentice and Varsity Cheerleader President of Aqualinks , St udent ·Council member for three years Lincoln Youth Council, Sophomore Girls Glee, Junior Girls Glee and Senior Choir, · She thinks the best thing about being a senior is remembering b eing a sophomore and a junior On her 81st birthday, Judy is going to go to a drive-in and eat a hot fudge sundae smothered in dill pickles.

What causes the rivalry between' high schools in Lincoln? This question has come up at different times, and no one seems to have a good answer. Is it necessary to tear down the name of other schools because you think it makes your school sound better? Why can't we feel proud of their accomplishments as well as our own?

What 'does tradition mean to the students at Lincoln High? When a school is over 50 years old, there are bound to be some traditions established. Does tradition stop with the clubs and organizations? Cert1rlnlyIiot. Lincoln High has also got a tradition of good sportsmanship and school spirit. But are we living up to these standards?

Is there any reason why Lincoln High students can't go on with the fine tradition of good sportsmanship set up by students in the past years?

When we speak of good sportsmanship, does it stop with our school, or can we cheer a little for the other city schools when they play an out-of-town school? Of course we can, and Ll.ncolnHigh as the oldest school in Lincoln has a responsibility to the other schools to show fine leadership.

There is a point when competition between schools stops and rivalry begins. We have to recognize this, and use ,our better judgement instead of acting ·on impulse as to where to stop when things come up concerning other schools. When we do this, we will have set up an example for others to follow, and for us to be proud of.

Staff Bids AuRevoir

As someone once said "all good things must come to an end." So it is with our ADVOCATEstaff because the time has come and we must leave our positions and make way for the new staff.

,-nmay seem a bit ridiculous to you, readers, but we, the staff, are quite sad about leaving. · We've been through quite a lot together and have gained valuable experience and many memories this semester from the preparation of our first issue, the writing of stories, making page layouts, meeting deadlines, to "sweating it out" so that, with pride and satisfaction, we may give you a paper.

We wrote the stories with your interests in mind and apologize for any and all unintentional mistakes. We had our good days and we had our bad days and we did improve (?) with each new issue.

All these_ things went into your ADVOCATE and mto our memories and we hope we added something to your memories, too.

Laugh if you wish but we'll shed a tear as we make way for the new staff and step out of the picture (paper). It surely has been fun and a lot of hard work too, but we'd do it all over again if we had the chance. ·

We do know that the new staff is eager to start working to record more of the outstanding events at L.mco!nHig~ and to _bring, you more new stones, ideas, inf ormabon and a lot of enjoyment We wish them the best results possible and we hope they get as much ·out of it as we did.

These were thought up by children interviewed by Art Linkletter:

·Don't throw food under the table if there's not a dog under there, because it'll rot.

Don't talk with your mouth full 'cause you might choke to death.

Never throw pies in the company's face.

Don't use your d ress for a napkin when your mother's looking.

Ask for extra helpings instead of scraping the bottom of the plate

Don't put your food in other people's drinks.

LincolnHighDedicated To Needs of Students

During Lincoln's Centennial year, LIIS students an:d fa. culty are publishing this issue of the Advocate as a report on Lincoln High School. Through the years Lincoln High School has grown to be a modern comprehensive high school with classes for "all the children of all of the people."

These classes academically range from remedial sections to college level classes. Vocationally they range through many subject matter fields and skilled occupations The cultural offerings in literature, drama, art and music are equally extensive Through the cooperation of students, parents and teachers a high level of achievement is expected and usually attained.

During the past few years significant changes have taken place in the instructional program at Lincoln High School. These include the six period day with a planning period for each teacher, college level classes for gifted youth in all academic fields (English, mathematics, history, science, and foreign language), and special education classes for ·pupils who have difficulty with reading and mathematics. Home room guidance classes give ample opportunity for educational

The first graduating class of Lincoln High School in 1873, had four members-:.....three girls and one boy. Last June, .189 boys and 239 girls were graduated. Lincoln High has come a long way since Graduation Day, 1873. The original site of Lincoln High School-the first in Lincoln in 1873-was b e t we e n 15th and 16th and M and N Streets A board of directors (actually the Board of Education) proposed that $50 000 be spent for the erection of the new high school, that, when finished, would hold 450 pupils. The Board of Education was criticized strongly for constructing such a large building because at that time only 200 boys and girls, including all the grades, were going to school. The new high school was finished on January 8, 1873. · Mr. Isaac Cassel was elected Superintendent of Schools and Mrs. M. J. Rockford was the principal; these two comprised the faculty. The principal taught Latin, English, arithmetic, physical geography, physics, Unit ,ed States History, general history, and anything else considered a necessity. A short time later German was introduced to Lincoln High

The structure consisted of three stories and a basement and was composed of brick, with a mansard roof, and gray limestone foundation. · There were eleven assembly rooms and numerous recitation rooms. The halls and cloak rooms were conveniently arrang- ed. Exploding Stoves-Heating Problem

The school was heated by a furnace which was an innovation to any school, until it proved unsuccessful, and then two heating stoves were installed. The stoves, however exploded frequently. Each student had a seat in the room, and when it was time for recitation, the teacher tapped a bell, the class rose, and marched to a long bench before the teach• er s desk. Students were not classified as freshman, sophomore, junior, and

senior, but as A, B, C, or D, respectively · There was very little equipment except blackboards, plenty of chalk, and a dilapidated old dictionary. After a time a microscope appeared. The superintendent also obtained · a • skeleton from a doc• tor, but the skeleton didn t remain in the school for long! There was also a set of mathematics blocks ·and an old melodian that, when working, was used to provide a- polka or a waltz during · recess time.

School started at 9:00 a.m. and at noon the students received an hour and a half for lunch. School was dismissed at 4:00 p.m. Four Sublects-No Homework Most students had four subjects, with no homework assigned. There were no clubs, but there were "rhetoricals" for which each student had to prepare an essay or declamation once a month. In 1874, a parlor organ was installed with the help of the stu• dents and a ·professor of music who was hired to teach at a sala• ry of ten dollars per month. About this time a "military" movement made its debut at Lincoln High. Students were dismissed double file to · martial music. The school was even divided into military · companies, which marched in ranks to the comer of the school grounds. The

"The Business Education Department should contribute to the development of youth by increasing knowledge, developing skills, teaching how • to solve problems of living and developing proper attitudes"

"Certain personal business competencies are needed by all students in high school · because everyone is continuously engaged in activities that have t o do with economic phases of life , s u c h as taxes, insurance, money, bank• ing, social. security.

is taught to weigh the facts and then make up his own mind. Our pupils live in a world society today. Somewhere they must learn the necessity of knowing something about the affairs of other people as well as beliefs and problems.

"With this expanding knowledge of people ·in other parts of the world, they should develop a keener appreciation of the American political and economic systems Local and state problems are not neglected. In short, they are trying to "educate their masters."

"Vocational competence does not consist of skill training alone. Skill subjects must be supported by a good· educational background. It is also important that the skill subject be backed by adequate general business i nformation, terminology, and customs. An attempt is made to be sure that a student is adequatel y pre· pared for an initial position i n business before being recommended for the placement program ."

"Lincoln High offers an adequate program i n both stenographic and clerical skills during the junior and senior years. This may be preceded by a course in general business during the sophomore year. Those who qualify · may go on placement during the last semester of the senior year, thus gaining on-the-job experience on a part-time basis," says Mrs. Stewart.

Inc luded will be laboratory accommodations for thirtytwo students in each room. Storage will be provided for biology specimens, •models , special equipment notebooks and individual dissecting tra ys. New store-rooms will be provided for materials and each room will have · an aquarium, terrarium and germina ti on bed Project, as well as reading and study areas, will be provided. Laboratory tables will be equipped with electricity for the electric microscopes A special audio-visual room will be construc ted on this same floor for the biology and science classes.

Greenhouse Supplies Material

In addition to this, fourth floor has an under-the-roof greenhouse which supports such species as geraniums ferns, cacti, cotton plants , poinsettas , carnations, and boganvilias. Com, tomatoes and beans have also been raised.

The many uses of this laboratory include serving the biology classes with plant life to study and furnishing the administrati ve offices with flowers. In the spring a supply of cut flowers is a vailable for the Home Economics classes to be used in the study of table settings and decorations.

This year a fish tank located in the mi ddle flower bed was installed Goldfish swim among the water lillies and other water plants The tank also supplies humidity for the greenhouse. Many of th e plan ts in the greenhouse are contributed by students and parents.

Use of the greenhouse is not restricted to science students alone, but to all that are interested in plants or gardening as an occupation or as a hobby.

Arrangements have been made this year with the Univers ity ·of Nebraska to have LHS students visit t he greenhouse on the campus and see techniques of growing plants not possible at Lincoln High School.

the Echo, t h e Advocate, and the Tatlet were an considered as names for the new paper. The Advocate won over the Echo by one vote. The first issue, "Vol. 1, No. 1," appeared in March, 1895. It was an eight page journal without cover. Uncertain as the beginning was, it was proved successful enough to be published the remainder of the year, The beginning of its second year was marked with a spirit of indifference resulting from a lack of literary assistance and a very small subscription list. T h e athletic assotiation cooperated in giving a minstrel show which netted the Advocate a profit of five dollars. · Eager as the students were to read it, they expected the Advocate to exist in an atmosphere of its own · In 1897 the paper again changed its form to a two column, eight page paper. Literary problems were bigger than financial ones in 1899 as advertising was more easily secured and about 150 subscriptions were taken at the beginning of the year. The class of 1899 was responsible for the first school annual. Another annual was published in 1905. Until 1917 a special issue of the Advocate with the pictures of the seniors served as an annual. Then in 1917 the first Links appeared. Published only a few months after the signing of the Armistice, the Links of 1919 was devoted to the war. The Writers Club's Scribe made its debut in 1930. It contained poems, short stories, and essays quite like the Scribe of today. During the war years it was not published. •

From 1914 to 1920 the Links captured 5 State Basketball crowns under Coaches Harold Mulligan and Bob Hager. T vi o titles came in the 1920's and the LHS court men won championships in the ' 1933-34 and 1937-38 seasons. The Links' current coach, Lyle Weyand, '29, has headed the Red and Black for the past 18 years. During this period of time the Links have brought home 4 State titles and although ·knocked from the State Tourney, the Links were awarded the championship during the 1954-55 season by the Omaha World-Herald on the basis of the season record. The following years the Links won the State Cage Tourney: 1913-14 1919-20 1933-34 1942-43 1914-15 1926-27 1937-38 1945-46

This -compares -to .11 -·for its nearest rival, Omaha Central. Inaugurating the initial State Meet with a victory and continuing their ·successful ways for the next four years, the Links racked up 7 titles by 1919. LIIS won 3 more State Championships in the 1920's and one in 1935 before Coach John "Cy" Yordy's thinclads enjoyed two years of supremacy in 1939 and '40. The Links latest track triumphs came in 1942, '44 and '51.

The work was began as soon as possible, and on October 30, 1923, the Oval was publicly dedicated The voluntary loan of forty Lincoln businessmen was a big factor in making the project possible. The debt for the oval was finally paid off in 1929. "Joy Night" was substituted for the defunct Carnival in 1925. Joy Night has been a tradition ever since. One year later freshmen suddenly disappeared because the junior high schools were taking care of them. In that same year, the "Charleston" was the rage. · In 1927, a new addition was built onto Lincoln High at a cost of $300,0Q0. This was to provide additional classrooms, shops and cafeteria kitchens. The National Honor Society was organized in 1927. Only the top 15 per cent of the class was eligible to belong to this society. The members were chosen on the basis of scholarship, leadership, and loyalty to the school. In 1929, the favorite "hangout" of the L Club (boys athletic club) was the Athletic Office. In 1931 there was a Russian peanuts epidemic and by now there were about fourteen different clubs. By 1933, the Vesper concerts had been traditional for eleven years · There were 250 people in choir which is in contrast to today's choir of 110 members. A few weeks of each semester was devoted to the care of children in Home Nursing classes and the students borrowed babies on which to practice.

A Lincoln High student is re• quired to complete two physical education courses plus one health education course in order to graduate. He can get the physical education credit by taking either gym classes or swimming. Up to two and one-half hours credit may be earned toward fulfilling - the physical education requirement by participation in football, basketball, or some other sport Gym Classes Have Many Activities In the gym classes, teachers try to touch on 20 different activities. Among these are socker, softball, basketball, wrestling, gymnastics, warball, etc. Physical achievement tests are also given in gym class, once at the beginning of the ·semester and again at the end of the semester. This test consists of pull-ups, push-ups, leg lifts, rope climb, etc. This testing is done for two reasons: (1) To test the boys' physical fitness, and (2) To can-y out the president's proclamation of gaining physical fitness through exercise. · In gym classes, boys are required to furnish their own gym clothes plus a lock.

Boys Sprout Beards

In anticipation of Lincoln's Centennial Year, Lincolnites are giving their time, their money and their talents ; Lincoln ·High will not be passed by or left in the w~e of this "glorious" event. The Senior Class has sacrificed the senior boys to this worthy cause Combining time and talents(?), seniors have been growing hirsute adornments-better known as beards. These beards come in assorted shap e s and various · colors. Although some boys look as though they are auditioning for a part in Walt Disney's "Shaggy Dog,?' they are still recognizable. From soft-as-down peach fuzz, to ebony-black bru sh bristle, personalities in ourschool have become distin guished by the beards they wear. Since thes e adornments come in many styles, it is hard ·to describe th em With th e aid of living ex amples, we shall · endeavor to point out a fe w of the more popular types of beards. Sideburns Run Amok Direct from China, the Choo Fun g Yu styl e lit erally "runs down one side of the head to the other." It's sort of a sideburn that didn't know where to stop. Surpri sin gly e nough, this type seems to be the most plentiful around s chool. If you st ill don't quite understand this description, look i

tip Norm Agena, Harlan Hall, or Larry Grenemier. We do have a few suave characters around the school who have gone "French.'' This style includes t he mustache and the little pointed beard, known as the goatee. Just ·a few who want to bring back the swashbuckling days of the sword-duels are Ron Wise, Alan Nielson, .and Vern Hartman. We mustn't leave out th e staunch old standbys who are cultivating a good old "Bolsheviek" type beard. This will enable them to either completely loose their identity or their · girls. Some fu• ture buyer s of Jiffy Moth-Spray are Lynn Knight and Dennis Mowrey. · Many beard growers are "killing two birds with one stone." Kit Borrett, as well as others, has sprouted a beard which added character to his part in the Oper11 while he was doin g his "patriotic " -duty. Next Centennial - 100 Years Away Th e opinion ha s been voiced that th er e should b e some sort of a "Whose Beard Looks Most Like Abraham Lincoln's" contest. Na • turally, all cont estants would have to h ave a black be ar d r e sembling the Choo Fing Yu beard, only fonger , and combed up over th e chin. Our top candidate for this would be, of cours e Arnie Garson-Boy Abe Lincoln.

Each period of the school day, some 200 pupils sit in study hall and wonder what to do. Many studious pupils just can't seem to find the answer, ,so maybe one of these following suggesti-ons - will help:

1) Reorga-nize the Sleepe~ Club with a Snoring · Orchestra as ·its main function, (at present auditions for whistlers, short snorters, and soft hum • mers are being held).

2) Join a group of gossips who shout across the room (if you plan to join, bring fresh juicy tidbits as the old is wearing out)

3) 1o relieve that tired feeling, be sure to get up and walk around, especially If Mr. Harold Scott is in charge of your study hall.

4) For all drummers, the desks make an excellent practice drum; also learn the Morse Code to communicate with Joe across the room.

Telemanners Tell MuchAboutYou

5) A new method of communi• cation in sending messages to that long lost friend is via the Study Hall Airlines, flight 226, (a new line of Boeing 707's havejust been received).

6) To be amusing, conduct a gum cracking and popping contest; winner receives 30 minutes after school from the presiding Grand Master of Study Hall.

7) For those of you who have Mr. Caldwell as guardian, entertain the group with an old fashioned sing fe.1t and he will direct you-to Mr. Bogar.

Thanks,Coach

Lincoln High athletic teams have built and

the inception of interscholastic

petition at LHS in 1891. Through the years, many coaches have gained fame at the head of

squads; yet few have given as much of themselves to the school as Lyle Weyand. Now, Mr. Weyand has stepped down as Red and Black basketball mentor. There is no doubt-that Coach Weyand did have a tremendous record; his · teams won nearly 80% of their games in eighteen seasons. But more than this, he has given us eighteen years of untiring service as ·head coach of a sport that is physically demanding, both to his players and to himself; he has given us eighteen years of quiet but firm leadership. · His actions on the basketball court have been those of a man who hated to lose, but who accepted 'defeat with an attitude of good sportsmanship and renewed effort. His conduct, both on the court and in the classroom, has always been an outstanding example to those who have come in contact with him ·_

· Finally, he has upheld our winning tradi~ tion without sacrificing clean , hard play and respect for other schools. This in itself speaks well of the man. In our opinion, Lyle Weyan'd is the best cage mentor m the state, bar none. He not only molds high caliber teams, but he also instills hustle, desire, and school spirit into his players. Hats off to a fine man and a great coach. We thank you, Mr. Weyand, for a job well done.

Even though the "bomb scare'' at Lincoln High School a week ago was a hoax and may have be~n taken lightly at the time by a few people, it could have proved very serious and dangerous incident. Many people might have been injured or even killed by some foolish prankster playing a joke for the sake of creating S6me excitement. -

The student body of Lincoln High is to be commended for the fine way they handled themselves in this situation, and the faculty for the cauti<;>usway they handled their part. If any occasion should again arise, it is to be hoped that they will conduct themselves in the same fine manner. ·

We must do some thinking and planning ahead on what must be done if we are ever again asked to leave the classrooms in an emergency, whatever the reason. We should ask ourselves what we would do if the normal e~t we are to use is blocked. Would we pame or would we be ready and able to take the ·situation · in stride and proceed to the next safest exit without creating any unnecessary disturbance.

Again we must assert that this hoax was not only a very serious and dangerous offense, but it was also a senseless waste of valuable time and money.

To Conform or Not

'

1nthis country we, as American teenager's, are faced with the ever inc reasing problem of conformity, or as it is probably better known , "being one of the crowd". We often use, "being <me of the crowd" as a rationalization factor for obtaining something we think we might want, th e excuse often being, "but everyone else has one".

Now let's not condemn the crowd, for as an organized gr oup, a crowd ·can accomplish many useful things, such as more and better activities and facilities f or teenagers; it can correct conditions we may not think desir eable, and create a better understanding between adults and teenagers. But as an unorganized group, a crowd may b ecome -a mob an'd undo any or all of the good ·that it might accomplish as an organized group : Th ere are some thin gs in which the crowd should have no part. When it comes to making d ecisions, no matter how trivial they may seem, the individual must be sure that the decision is tru,ly his and that he is not influenced by th e crowd or what he thinks the crowd may want. We will be b etter citizens for making our own decisions.

Superstitions, Reverence Reflect Foreign Easters

"Now,

Witches - boy scouts - two weeks vacation - fairs; this does not sound like an American · Easter, but it does made up a foreign Easter. Lincoln High's foreign born students, Fred Ambrosini, Ai la Schildt, and Mimi Hovsepian, related the following about Easter in their native lands:

"Easter in Luxembourg means three things," according to Fred.

"It is a religious observance, ex• tra church services take place, and students get two week's vacation.

During these two weeks there is a fair, similar to an American carnival.

"A few days before Easter Sim· day the bells of the churches stop ringing, signifying that Christ is ·dead. Boy scouts go through the streets morning, noon and evening beating wooden instruments to substitute for the bells.

"Easter morning the bells start ringing again, meaning that Christ has risen.

"Families get together for a big dinner and in the afternoon all the children flock · to the fair. Dances are held ending the two weeks of Easter celebration."

"Easter in Finland differs greatly from Luxembourg's," Aila explains. "Customs date back about three centuries when it was be; lieved that ,on moonlit Easters, witches would fly to the moun~ tains, gather coffee pots and cats, and have a big bonfire and party. If anybody could prove that a certain person had been on the mountain, that person could be burned for a witch.

Dear Hildegard and Hortense, Recently, I received a beautiful class ring (a boy comes with it). I am so proud of it that I want everyone to notice it Which way would "show it off" better: on a chain around · my neck, or on my finger? Wondering, Sandra Linders · · Dear Sandra Linders, A new different way - through your nose. Dear gals, I just don't know what to do; my girlfriend, Sandra, likes the class ring l gave her so much that I am · almost out of the picture for her. She never pays any attention any more, but spends all her time polishing the ring and thinking of new ways to show it off. I am just left out of her life. (SNIFF) What can I do to gain her attention again? Sobbingly, Frank Douglin

Dear Frank Douglin Your problem is a very wellknown one. The answer is: tell her that if she doesn't start pa ying attention to you, you will stop payment on the ring :and the jewelers will take it back.

And so our loyal and true readers, we leave you in your puddle of tears with this one little parting thought: Think Pink!

The Links recent cage success was built around excellent coaching, some brilliant individual performances, and a team that really fought to win.

Coach Lyle Weyand told the team at the start of the season that tbi,s LHS team had a rare chance-to turn in an unde~eate~ season and repeat as State Champs. ·With. this goal m mmd, the Red and Black played 'em one at a time and accomplished this feat.

Contrary to some opinions, I think next year's basketball squad could have a real good season. Zolticoffer should really ramble and there are several good players scheduled to move up from the Reserves.

Coach Harold Scott's '58-'59 Reserves posted a fine 10-2 mark and with a little help in height, next year's Red and Black should be a sound ball club.

Pitching may be the key to the Links' success. Both Burt and McGuire were hurlers for the Lincoln Optimists last summer, and Honnor adds the much-needed depth.

These statements of pure nonsense illustrate conclusively the great strides that have been made to make the modern teenager a more responsible , intelligent person. Today's teens speak such words of wisdom as "Let's cut out man," 'Like Wow," and "Really bopping it up."

Not only has much startling progress been made in the manner of speaking bu t also hair styles and dress show an upgrading tendency. In the 20's the silly and ridiculous looking "Raggidy Ann," " Boyish Bob" and the "Wind Blown Look" was the biggest rage. These past extremes in hair-dos are now replaced by the conservati ve , refined looking "Pixie Cut," "Duck Tail" and "Italian Top." It certainly would be horrible to have to relive again the shock of seeing girls in such out landis1- styles as the flapper dress, long black stockings and short vamp shoes (Which everyone wore even if she had long feet.) It is really refreshing to look upon the fair lady of today wearing the chemise sack and long black tights. It makes a person feel good to see the teenager of today looking ahead and thinking with such intelligence and foresight, a per• son so unlike the teenager of the 20's who gave in to the silly whims and fancies of the day

SpringSportsUn-Supported?

After basketball where does ·the support of Lincoln High athletic teams go?

The Peppers spend a tidy sum of money for their spring outfits. For what? ·

Only a few Peppers come to the baseball games, few wateh tennis; track leads as the top Pepper draw but still is far from having an organized cheering section.

The most neglected of the seasons for the Peppers is the spring sports program. Remember , · girls, these teams are also representing Lincoln High.

Biggest problem facing the Peppers is that most contests of the spring sport season begin directly after school.

A solution should be sought. Perhaps the girls could indicate the sport they would like to support. They could then divide into groups to watch and cheer for that sport

Perhaps with the leadership of the Peppers, the student body would follow this trend. Remember, these sports deserve student, Pepper and teacher support. Only football and basketball are the sports that require Pepper attendance Why not baseball, track, wrestling, gymnastics, and the others. The _boys participating in these sports have worked just as hard for perf ecbon as the boys on the football ·and basketball squads and deserve support for the wor~, sweat _anddesire they have to play on a Lincoln High athletic team.

"The stock characters include Pierrot, Columbine, (Pierette), Punchinello and Margo. Perrot is always the lover and therefore is always just a wee bit funny, except to Columbine and himself. All the world may love a lover, but it usually does so with a bit of a smile. Titis is especially true with Pierrot.

" Columbine is the gentle r eceiver of all these affections Sometimes she is two in one, but if you have had · any experience with girls you know this is real life too. Boys find her all the lovliness th ey've ever dreamed of and for girls she is the J:,est of what th ey ever hope to -

Proms - AfuturePromise?

It's spring again, and students of Lincoln's high schools are again making plans for their formal spring dances. That IS, every high school except Lincoln High. Through letters to our editor and comments from various Lincoln High students, it has eome to our attention that Lincoln High, with all its advantages and varied activities, is minus any formal dance actvities. · Then comes the question-Why are Lincoln High students ·deprived of such activities? If formal dancing is a socially accepted activity, would it then be possible to have a school pansored ,dance?

If our school did sponsor a dance, such as a Junior Prom, would the interest of the students be great enough for large partici~ pation? This, of course, iS the crux of the problem.

At one time, our school sponsored school Porq Proms. It was not long before student interest waned. Demonstrating their disinterest in a school dance, students retali~ted by refusing to support a Spring Dance by buying tickets. Now, we are again hearing cries and pleas for a formal dance What can be done?

It is too late for a Senior Prom. No dances can be planned for this year. ·But, a mesasge to the Juniors and Sophomores, if you are interested enough to assure positive support, some plans can be made toward holding formal dances next year.

The problem is laid completely in the student's lap. Assure your support, express your desires, and begin plans for formal dances next year. If the letters we received were indicative of general school opinion, you are almost assured of some planning tow~ds a future formal dance.

DeathTakesNoHoliday

How can you tell someone a thing like that? How ean you walk up to a person and tell him that his son met his death in a grave of twisted steel and broken glass? And yet, many parents have heard this paralyzing news. The mother cries uncontrollably and the father blindly stares into space and asks over and over again, "Why? Why?"

How can you answer him? Is there a good answer? Can you come right out and say, "The speedometer stopped at 85 miles per hour. Your son was speeding; it was his own fault." Every year thousands of parents ask this puzzling question: Why do our children speed? · Is it because they are with their friends and forget what they are doing? A lonely country road, a dark, moonless night, and a 'fast car filled with fun-loving teenagers has been the prelude to many disasters. Is there a solution to this problem? Yes, but it lies with every individual when he or she gets behind the wheel of a car. Think of the circumstances that might result before you press the accelerator to the floor. Afterwards, it might be too late.

We'd tike to say right now, putting out a paper is no picnic!

If we print jokes, people say we are corny ;

If we don't, they say we are too serious.

If we stick close to the office all period, we ought to be around hunting news;

If we go out and try to hustle, we ought to be on the job in the office.

If we print contributions, the paper ·is full of junk;

If we don't, we don ' t appreciate genius.

If we clip things from other papers, we are too lazy to write them ourselves;

If we don't, we are stuck on our own work.

It we print common school gossip, we are creating a "slam" corner;

If we don't, our paper never has anything new or interesting Well, that's life. Don't let the spring bug bite you, 'cause remember-Puppy love is the beginning of a dog's life.

74 Seniors Qualify; Honored By Society

One of the more appropriate activities of the many held during centennial week was the initiation of new members to National Honor Society at an assembly, May 4. Dr. James Olson, chairman of the History Department at the University of Nebraska, addressed the group which included parents of the new members. A national ·honor society was first suggested by J. G. Masters, a Nebraska principal, at a meeting of secondary school principals in Chicago. In 1920 a committe.e reported on their •findings and it was decided that the purpose of the organization would be to "stimulate high scholarship, constructive leadership, purposeful service, and worthy character."

The next year the first chapter was founded at Pittsburgh. The Lincoln chapter Was organized in 1927 and there are now about seven thousand chapters in the United States. In the induction ceremony the four present officers, Chip Kuklin, president, Don Burt, vice -president, Virginia Wadhams, secretary, and Susan Backstrom, treasurer, taking the symbolic emblem of the National Honor Society, the flaming torch, lighted the four candles and defined the requirements of membership: character, "an embodiment of all the finest moral and spiritual qualities; scholarship, "the light of knowledge and understanding of truth · of all the ages;" leadership, "the responsibi lity to lead in the ways of progress and peace ;" and service, "the willingness to serve which completes the personality of an individual who will have a well-rounded life."

The emblem of the society is the keystone symbolizing high ideals and the flaming torch, the purpose of the organization. "Moblesse Oblige" is the motto and blue and gold are its colors. The first service the society will per-

Noise Frowned Upon

People

and

racking up their set of

pipes. This kind of behavior is frowned upon.

Also, at noon, the music of harmonizing horns comes ringing through the air First, one horn starts in, and eventually, everyone who is in their car at the time joins in the ·melodious symphony. Pupils, who are in their fourth-period classes, try to study while this array of sound comes blasting into the stillness of thought. As everyone knows, this is very disturbing to people who are cramming for very important tests, or people in library who are trying to catch up on last night's sleep.

What can we 'do? We can try to keep the noise down a little bit more during the · noon, so that people will think of a car as a means of transportation and not as an instrument of extreme noise and of annoyance to people during school.

PlanForThoseExams

Well, now that spring is here, a young man's and often a young lady's fancy turns to thoughts of getting away from school, having more dates, and less study.

But even though spring has arrived and we 'don't feel like studying as much on these nice spring evenings, we must think ahead to that week not too far distant when we shall again be taking those dreaded final exams. As some of us know, those exams might as well have been given in Greek, as well as we have done on some of them.

But we can make those exams seem much easier if we only start to plan our studying in advance, so that the night before that· big event we won't be cramming like mad. If we start preparing for the finals at least ten days before the exam, we are likely to be more sure of the material and in better shape physically to do our best on the exam. Another merit to studying adequately before the exam is taking useful notes. When something new is introduced in class we should arrange it in our notes as well as our thoughts as to time, importance, and related facts ··

If we do the greater share of studying before hand we can spend the night before the exam reviewing our notes and touching up on some of the vague areas on which we have not the best understanding.

Remember, if we plan our studying beforehand and study beforehand we can do much better on the final exams.

What'sYour·Alibi

Are the stu dents of LHS using their ingenuity and mtelligence or are they misus~ ing it? Now that spring has sprung (as the saying goes) are we applying ourselves to our studies or are we wa~ing our time devising excuses to get out of studying? True, excuses for not doing homework are easy to find, what with parties, boating, and riding around in convertibles. The remodeling of various rooms at Lincoln High can serve as an excuse to avoid the problems at hand, too However, teachers manage to withstand these hardships and get their work done; why can't students?

I hope you all noticed Mrs. Seifkes' special Centennial display.

Overheard in Principal's office: Principal to student: "Aren 't you ashamed to be seen here so often?"

Student: "Why I've always thought of this as a respectable place!"

Relatives of American Foreign Pol icy by George F. Kennan is the first of this group. Mr. Kennan was the United States Am· · bassador to USSR in 1952. Previously, he was director of the State Department's Policy Planning Staff and Counselor of the Department from 1947 to 1950. He was a Foreign Service Officer for twenty-seven years, serving mostly abroad. This book was originally delivered as the 1954 Stafford Little Lecture Series at Princeton University.

This book contains Mr. Kennan's views of the American Foreign Policy He speaks of the disunity in the non-communist world and the weaknesses in our own society

Criminology is by Donald R. Taft, professor of Sociology at the University of Illinois. The purpose of this book is to collect and interpret the more important knowledge about crime and its causes.

To give you a better idea of the conte nts of this book here are the main headings: "The Explanation of Crime," "The Trea t ment of the Juvenile Delinquent and. Crime Prev enti on," " The Treatment of the Adult Criminal," and "Wider Implications of Criminology."

I hope these books will help you in writing those papers for your social studies classes.

Lipstick l"olors For - Against

"You look sick; what's wrong?"

"Eee gads, what's wrong with her? She looks like she's dead!" These q uesti ons have been heard echoing through the halls of ·our fair school recently. The cause of such concern by the male populace? The newest di scovery by a prominent cosmetics firm.Provocative Pastels.

These have caused much controversy. The girls welcome the new revolution in color and their new "warm" looks. The boys comment that the girls dook dead "weird," "like Ubangi chiefs," "have you seen Miss Waide's room yet?" and a nwnber of unprintable things.

The boys have made an eva lu ation of how the new colors look on the altered faces of the opposite sex.

Grape Icing - This looks· like snow falling on a half full wine vat. Raspberry Sherbet - This slightly resembles the pile-up on the football field after a play

A La Carte-Since this is a solid white, t o be applied over other colors, it is seldom worn alone. But when it is, it gives the wearer the look of Dracula when she has not eaten(?) for d ays Lovely Lemon-This entrancing color is usually seen on Thurs~ays.

Bilgewater Blue-I know it's been cold out, but this is ridiculous!

Sly Silv er -( If you can't find your g irl in the dark now, may heaven help you!)

Well, the success of these torrid shades is yet to be determined. We hope that the cosmetic company comes up with a new product, -and may they rest in Jeace.

Seniors~WeSaluteYou

This year has been a memorable year, especially for the seniors.

(We know differently, Jack, but we promise we won't tell!) Jack's activities in his Senior Year include Student Council, YES Show, and last semester's Advocate staff. Being Mr. Neil Hafemeister's assistant has been Jack's greatest thrill while at LHS. Jack will long remember and never forget his long, long lunch hour at LIIS What's this? Jack says he wants a horse for graduation so he can ride it? , Very intelligent answer! Jack's secret ambition is to go to Hawaii, but at the present, he will settle with Wesleyan.

Dian Yant is our next sad Senior who, when asked why she was graduating, she replied , "You mean I am?" Her activities, in LHS include International Club, Y-Teens, Peppers, Homecoming Queen attendant, All Sports Queen, and Aqualink alternate. Being All Sports Queen was Dian's greatest thrill while at LHS. Look out! If you see a black Volkswagon coming down the halls at you, you'll know it's just Dian fulfilling her secret desire! Dian seems to want a black '57 Ford for graduation. When asked why, she exclaimed, "Guess who's

Her greatest thrill while at LHS was watching Links take State in basketball Judy doesn't think she should tell her secret ambition, because "it wouldn't be a secret anymore!" Judy and Jack seem to agree on th:e fact that they will miss the lunch hour the most of anything at LIIS. Judy wants a trip to Lake Okoboji for graduation, but she didn't mention why.

Swimmin g in the school pool seems to be Aila's most enjoyable experience. In the schools in her home there are no swimming pools. International Relations and American History were Aila s most profitable courses. Aila, like Fred, was impressed by a general air of friendliness. She said she caught on to American slang very easily because it says exactly what it means. "I would like to come back to America to visit again, but I do miss my home and family now," states Aila.

Trackmen Finish 3rd

The many athletic awards and trophies presented in Awards Assembly, Friday, put the icing on the cake to climax a year full of highlights and successful teams at Lincoln High.

During the past year LHS grabbed seven of the nine City Championships, and the State Basketball crown. Already seven Link teams finished in the top six in state tourneys or rankings, with baseball still in progress.

Looking back we see a powerful Links football eleven that won five and lost three under a new coach, Jim Sommers. The big moments for the Link gridders included a rampaging 52-0 trouncing of Southeast and the stunning 33-0 upset of Omaha North. · ·

The wrestling team placed 3rd in the State after ending a successful 6-2 dual meet season and copping their fourth straight City Championship.

·

The swimming team under new coach Cal Bentz won 4 and lost 4. Bentz produced several record-breakers as he guided his team to a close second in the city and third in the State.

The '59 gymnastic team ran up a string of ten straight meets without a loss, winning the City Championship before being edged out by Hastings for the State crown.

Of course, everyone knows of the feats of our brilliant basketball team._ Retiring Coach Lyle Weyand, who di rected the cagers to 28 straight wins and a repeat State title, was presented a plaque from the ,L Ctub and a new television set f.rom past and present players. Mr. Weyand certainly deserved these awards as he is a fine man and one of the best coachei. in LHS history.

Dick Beechner's golf crew came up with a sudden death playoff to win the City to highlight their season.

The tennis team won seven meets against one tie and their 5th straight City title They extended their undefeated streak to 36 straight and tied for third in the State.

The track team had a successful season, winning the City and District titles and tying for third in the State.

The LHS diamond men entered the State Baseball Tourney with a 6-5 record.

So much for the past, Jet's have a look into the future. Next year should produce some great Links teams. All sports will feel the loss by graduation of outstanding veteran performers, but this year's juniors and sophomotes include some top athletes, who will take their place and make names for themselves in LHS sports history.

* * * * I would like to thank Mr. Pfeiff, Mr. Hafemeister and all the coaches for their assistance in gathering sports material the past year. Also like to commend sports reporters Jack Powell, Roy Scheele and Tim Gartner for doing a real good job. That's it, so I'll sign off for now THE WATERBOY 'Bullet' Wohlfarth
