Record Book 'Upset'

The place: City Court House

The scene: Records Room

The actors: Daily Accident and Violation Book.

(As the curtain opens, we focus our eyes on a tired book. He speaks.)

"Oh, my poor aching pages, I've been written on so much today; I hurt all over If those teenage drivers would just stop to r ealize that it is a great privilege for them to drive their own or their parents' car , I wouldn't take such a lJtoJtin g ·· i',w ell , I guess I'll take my daily totals. Speed thrilled ten teenagers, three of those re sult ed in accidents with two peopl e slightly injured.

"Failing to stop at a stop light or stop sign has 25 entries, with five accidents. One of those where two occupants of the cars were seriously injured.

"Failing to yield the right of way- only five today and quite fortunately no accidents. Other accidents and violations add up to 50 with 15 people injur ed. I su rely am happy that I don't hav e to record any deaths today.

"What can I do to help these teenager s go on the straig ht and narrow of driving?

"I wonder-hum-yes, maybe they would lik e to have a specia l traffic court of th eir own. I hear that it works fine in other cities. My cousin in Pocatello, Idaho , says the t eenagers have their own court The young violator s are brought before a traffic court jud g e and a jury of teenagers The jud ge doesn't, however, do the sentencing, the jury does that.

"Written essays on traffic s afety, and attending driver education school sessions are ju s t two of the ways th ese youn g violators are admonished. My cousin says that this teenage court has greatly reduced traffic violations and accidents since it was put into effect l ast year.

"Well , I'v e ju s t given our town' s te ena gers a bri e f survey of a day's talli es upon my pa ges and a way to s olve thi s problem. Now it i s up to th em to do something about it. Guess I'll h ave to drop a hint to the next young violator th at comes to th e court hou se "

To substantiate his theory that the uniden ti fied Polynesian race had its origin in the Americas, Thor Heyerdahl constructed a balsa raft to prove such a migration could have taken place. He and five companions sailed for 101 days before reaching their destination. You may want to r ea d his account of this in Kon-Tiki. The famous statues of Easter T;:;l:J.nc ~ex attracted Thor Hey"'r:tall1 and the re st of the Norweigen Archaeological Expedition he conducted. From thi s experience ca me a strange book AkuAku. ;1Iankind once had one of the most curious idea s concerning stonecutting No one knows who had this idea or wh y but it resulted in the most remarkable engineerin g projects of ancient times Thor Hey erdahl conducts you through the a ncient caves us e d as hidin g places in the civil war As he moves inch by inch throu g h tiny pa ssages, yo u find yourself experienc in g the same h e lpl ess· ness that he d0€s in the hideous gri p of stone. Huge statues unlike any others see n on Eas ter I sland are found in the dig ging. It seems that th ese a nd balsa ra fts found are simi lar to South American accompli s hm e nts at the same tim e. Resolv ed in Aku-Aku is the me thod of movin g these statues from th e quarries to their present r es tin g pl ace But wh y all this work ceased, pr esents a question of a diff er e nt natur e. If our civilization i s forced to und er ground sh elt er s a nd warfar e will our great works discontinue like those of the Ea s t e r Islanders?

Here we are starting another school year. Although some of us may wish we were ending it, there is a bright side. Let's face it, there are very few of us who have actually done our best up until now.

DestinyDecidedByTruth

As we progres s through life and more situations arise to test our personalities, we come up against many problems. However, one of the most important ones not only to ourselves, but to the happiness of our fellow companions, is that of telling the truth. At time s, we feel that truth can be shoved back into the corner and ignored as if it were a lowly spider, weaving its web of d ea thly silk. If we pu sh truth out of our lives, no matter how littl e, we will surely be caught in that web of untruth and ignorance. From th e beginning of time, men ha ve Tound that telling an untruth only l eads to the necessity of telling another. The line slowly b ecomes a chain of deceit with life not being le a d to its fullest. People b ecome too involved in worry about their lies and as a consequence ca nnot fully enjoy th e things that are happenin g around them - Another aspect of this problem must b e considered. Do we ever think seriously what a lie can do to another person? It can give them a feeling of inferiority or, even worse, ruin their reputation. You may not only injure an othe r's feelings, but you run the risk of losing your own good n ame of being - an upr ight and honest p ers on. / Wh en we e nter the unsheltered world outside of our peaceful existen ce in higp school, we are going to realize all the more fully "\ the value of honesty. However, it is not only 1 a m at t er of t ellin g the truth whe n it is expected of you, it is a question of stickin g up fpr someone when it might hurt you to tell th e truth It is a cliche, but truer words were never spoken than these: " Oh what tangled webs we weave when first we practice to deceive." Scott.

Confucius say , "Money may not be everything, but then, who wa nts everything?" Money really is important to most teenagers. Let's face it, only money can buy that gor• geous new swea ter, support that creaky, old car, and disappear so mysteriously at driveins. There are some who don ' t have to worry about mone y for c ars and sweaters, they ne ed it for iron lungs and hospital bills. They don't have to worry about digging up ten dollars for the big dance. They can 't dance. They can't even walk!

There are some in oth e r countries who n ever hav e to wor ry about what they are going to wear. They have only on e thing that th ey can wear.

There are some families who hav e only a small bo wl of rice to feed their children. There are some who have no families left. Some of u s complain constantly about havin g to go to school. Yet literally thousands of teenagers would give anything for an education.

We ha ve all the advantages just because we were fortunate enough to be born healthy and in a free country. We just gave to the Community Chest Drive Maybe we did give a lot, we could have given a little more So what if we're temporarily broke after donating? If we counted up all of our blessings and gave just one penny for each one, we'd be permanent• ly broke.

Fiction is th e product of imagi • nation and in ve nti veness Actually , anyone could c r eate good fiction except for la ck of desire and those qualities; imag ination and inventiveness. What an author thinks up could be arrived at and combined with eff ective ness by anyone if these characteristics were present. Much reward can come from merely re ad in g fiction. Taste in fiction may range from no vels and pl ays to the short story You may enjoy science fiction, the historical novel, drama, mystery, comedy, or sa tire but all fiction lovers agree, fi ctio n is mo st enjoyable reading. Text books and other non-fiction books wit h their facts are es• sential but nothing compares with fiction for rela xatio n, Fiction plus your im agi nation provides a worthwhile distraction. How could you possibly be bored? Fiction presents l if e people and the past in a picturesque m an n er. Fa cts that are incomplete can be supplemented. A theme or moral which would be impossible to portray in any other way can be shown in works of fiction. Fiction can be anything you want. Don't be unlucky enough not to enjoy r eading and not want to enjoy it. Doretta

Like--WhyStudy?

Why

Well , whether you want to study or not, you have to. Any person who wants to be successful must study to get ahead. A thorough knowledge of your field requires constant research and studying.

Stud yin g is not so hard, but your spirit may be let down when you receive a low grada. T he!·•i£or e, in ord e r t o impr ov f' your marks , may we suggest certain techniques.

One te chnique is: know y our teacher. What kind of pe r sons ar e he or she? What kinds of test s does he or sh e give? Is your teacher a 'hard grader? The se things you will learn gradually from experience (and a little gossip too !)

Another point to remember is establishing good study habits

Thos e are a few of the frequently used and frequently misunderstood intan gible words in the English langa ge These words are important and we react differently to them according to our experiences with them.

It is easier to allow for differences in physi cal and mental capacities than to recognize that our id e as about th e sam e words ca n be just as different. Each individual's environment is unlike another's , and it is in each of our experiences that we are presented with the concepts of these words

Dignity, help, reason , friendship, God , ch a rity, beauty knowledg e life reward honesty , li e Th ink about what you wish to convey through your speech and what others may mean wh en the y talk. Know the dictiona r y's meaning but remember the deeper meanings b e fore you disagree or agree with anoth e r After r e alizing the large number of con cepts for one word in the En glish language, imagine then the possible lack of understanding between entire languages and nations!

Today we are going to take a tri,p to the room where the notorious Actviocate staff 'lies' around (This is a malicious, unfounded rumor!) As we enter the door, a horrible sight confronts us Typewriters line t he floor, copy paper is strewn fr om the radiators to the file cabinets, and chairs are overturned (some on top of the one-time occupants).

The bulletin boards are covered with such bon mots as "Use your head-it's the little things that count," "Bitter teachers for a bitter world," "Keep it free for you and me," "Make duplicates," "N o : .'.:' shi11g please," and "Our fllustnouo. Leader ."

The Beginning(?)

A typical period starts out with a bang of the door and a swallowing sound. The latter is made by the poor advisor who is by now gulping down aspirins by the dozen. After this melee is slightly condensed · by the in$istent banging of heads, the staff quietly seats themselves on page dummies and waits for the iron word of their leader. After the last ultimatum has been made the inferior ratings issued, and the glass cleared away, the beaten students crawl away to the seclusion and securi t y of a niche under the exchange papers rack.

Nicknames Dot Walls

The period proceeds with the banging of typewriter keys, the stifled moans of the page editors and th e nibbling of goodies smug gled in from the 'outside.' A list of staff nicknames is posted on the wall (in lipstick, of course) and we can almost tell what a few of them are: Bar, Doe, Mare, Dote, Fram, Petey-boo, TCG, BO, Share, Eel, Janny-buns, Nels, Pipe and Gibs. "Cape Corny"

As this hectic period draws to a close, copy is literally fired at the page editors, giving I.he room the appearance 01 Cap e 1..: a naver• al. While these projectile human forms go sailing through the a-ir the bell rings and the ones caught in the mad rush to evacuate are nominated for the Blue Cross.

These are the sports offered this year to girls of Lincoln High by the GAA.

eration of Government-sponsored water-control projects has caused concern among archeologists and other scientists over the loss of irreplaceable scientific data which was being flooded or otherwise damaged by the Government's construction program. Out of this need grew the Missouri Basin Project for the emergency salvage of ancient artifacts in the Missouri Basin.

Dr. Stephenson also discussed the place of archeology among the sciences and noted several examples of the work archeologists are doing throughout the world to help put the entire picture of man s history before us.

Dr. Stephenson concluded his talk by discussing the life and work of the archeologists-eollege preparation, field work , office work, and reconstruction of the remains of cultures long past His talk was accompanied b y colored slides.

Wismer recovered in the end zone. McWilliams sparked the next drive and climaxed it with a five yard jaunt. Tech Attempts Pro Tactics Tech employed a wide flanker very much like that of the pros and drove to t he 18 where they fumbled and lost the ball. Howard Strain , LHS wingback , then swept left end, cut to the sidelines, and out-raced a Tech defender for an 83 yard TD run Strain later duplicated this play, this time for 61 yards and his second TD. Tech went to its pro style offense and started ·firing passes trying to get ba c k in the ball game. Garry Powell ruined any hope of a comeback by picking off a Trojan pass and legging 55 yards to the final score of the even ing. The Links rushed for 337 yards, while the stout IJIS line held t he fine Tech backs to only 36 on the ground.

McWilliams tallied from six yards out with 55 seconds remaining in the half. McWilliams PAT run was good giving the Links a 13-7 half time lead In the second half the Links

Bobby Williams celebrated his return to active duty by scoring three touchdowns in the Links 46-7 romp over the Omaha South Packers at Omaha's Municipal Stadium This was sweet revenge on a club that last year clobbered Lincoln 47-0. First Half Touch And Go Th e first half score indicated a tight battle. Although the Links had several fine runs, the · gains were nullified by penalties Art McWilliams sco red in the first quarter on a two-yard plunge. South retaliated and knotted the score ea rly in the second period at 7 all. With seconds remaining in the half, Gregg Ortiz hit Jim Dermyer in the end zone for the go ahead score which South never headed. The Links started t he second hali by m archin g 63 yards with the opening kickoff. Williams capped t h e drive with a 27 ya rd sprint. He came back and scored aga in fr om the two after the defensive squad did a good job of containing South's backs. South finding their running game stymied , went to the air only to ha ve Garry Powell intercept. Moments later Williams scampered 53 yards for his final tally of the night.

Alert Link Sets Up Score Early in the fourth period McWilliams took his turn and scored from the five after the Packers fumbled. Th e Links kicked off an d the Packer backs, apparently t hinking that the kickoff is handled like a punt, let the ball roll fr ee An alert IJIS lineman, Lyle Schleiger, recovered on the oneyard line. Steve deBrown then pushed across with the final IJIS TD. Commendation must go to the hard charging Link s line, which did an outstan ding job all eve ning.

basic, hard-hitting football. The Links hit their stride against South and Tech, reall y showing offensive drive. Coaches Jim Sommers and Dick Beechner did an outstanding job, getting the best performances out of the players.

Here is a rundown of the seniors on the squad.

Harold Ba,uer-end, defensi ve spec ialist, didn't see much action

Steve d•Brown-fullback bulled way for yardage, outstanding punter

Jim Dermyer-end , good recei v er , two year man

Walt Ducker-tackle , two year letterman, saw limited action

Jim Fortner-tackle , i njured arm and missed las t three games

Bill Fowles-end, played well both on defense, and offense -at times

Sam Foudray-tackle , missed a few games at start , two year man

Jerry Jacobs-pla ye d end, guard and fullback, good all -around pla y-

er Art McWilliams-back fine runner pla y ed both half and full

Garry Powell-defensive back , probably best in state, led Links in interceptions

Bill Pfeiff-guard one of Sommers' messenger boys, good consistent player

Gregg Ortiz-quarterback , gained real confidence and leadership toward end of season to become one of the finest in the state

Doug Osterholm-Another QB injured early in season, played defense Tom Nystrom-back , hal'd running first year man

Lyle Schleiger-guard , shared kicking chores

Tom Sitzman-QB , ran well with ball, maybe future halfback

Darrel Stanard-guard , 48 minute man, one of the best lineman in state

Howard Strain-fleet back recorded longest run this year of 83 yards Jerry Wismer-tackle, big and tough, thrives on rugged play Sam Zollicoffer-fine shifty back excellent broken field nrniier. · Next year 's picture indicates another successful season With hard running Bobby Williams and many fine lineman like Jerry Shaw, Basyl Hulewicz and Biff Pfeiff returning, the Links should be as powerfu l as ever Outstanding Reservists were Mark Firestone, Willard Shepard, Corey Gacusana on defensi ve, and Doug Ahlberg to mention onl y a few of Grosscup's players who had a good season.

Basketball,Swimming,Wrestling And GymnasticSeason Viewed With Enthusiasmby Coaches

The 1959-1960 edition of t he Lincoln High baske tba ll team is quite a mystery to everyone, including Coach A l den Johnson , heir to Mr. Lyle We,yand's sneakers.

First cut, according to Mr. Johnson, was made during intramural play l ast week. Monday , November 16, marked the official opening of round ball practice. Apparently the te am must be built around Sam Zollicoffer , lone returnin g letterman, and the nucleus of th e fine reserve squad last ye ar. Doug Osterholm leading scorer for th e '58-'59 Junior Links, with an 11.8 average, le ads these hopefuls.

C?ach Johnson, whose Minden Whippets won two Class B sta t e crowns, will use a cautious, deliberate st y le of offense, with a double-pivot, because of the Links' lack of height The Red and Black will use a basic man-to-man defense, but will adjust according to the opposition's sty le of play. The Links will open at home against McCook on Fr id a y night, December 4 Saturday , t he Red and Black journey to Council Bluffs, Iowa, for th e opening I nter-City League c ontest against Abraham Lincoln High. Coach Johnson has a complete rebuilding job ahead. But as he said when asked to ,comment on LHS' prospects for t he coming year, "Every game we go in t o our opponents will be trying to knoc k us off. Linco l n High is the king -pin of Nebraska high school basketball, at l e

until Maroh. Bu t," he continued, "I can guarantee that th e bo ys will hustle." The Lincoln High 1959-1960 schedule is as follows: Starred games in dica te league encounters.

It is said that the best days of our lives are spent as lively and dashing teenagers! Here is a ,typical day of a typical (or mayb_e not so typical) teenager. See if this describes YOU.

TIME A.M.

7:00 Off goes the alarm, but you don't care, you ,are still tired!

Am1:.A'LikeablePerson?

Probably

Here are some points about l_ikeable people and unlikeable people. Which of these describe you best?

1. Are you considerate of other people?

2. Do you enjoy gossiping about other people?

3. Is it easy for you to get along with other people?

4. Are you the person who always monopolizes the conversation?

5. Do you listen when other peo:ple are talking to you and are you interested m what they are saying?

6. Do you give parties beyond your means merely to impress your guests?

7. Can you like people in spite of their faults?

8. Do you usually like to help people when you can?

9. Do you ever compliment others w~en they are wearing something that you admire?

10. When you have a serious quarrel wi~ a friend do you cross the friend off your list for good?

Here are the answers and how you should have answered them: 1:yes, 2-no, 3-yes, 4-no, 5-yes, 6-no, 7-yes, 8-yes, 9- yes, and 10-no. If you got 8-10 right, you are a likeable person. If you answered 6-8 right you are still friendly. If you got 5 or less right you are probably a very unfriendly person and need to study manners and hope to become more likeable.

·Prepare With ·Care

Creative thinking isn't necessarily limited to intellectuals or inventors. This ability is given to each student in varying amounts.

It is a potential to be used or left dormant. The one quality you ~ust have in co_mmon with intellectuals or inventors 1s desire or perseverence to make your research paper something worth-while. If you're a~ a loss for ideas try these steps to creative thinking.

Preparation is the first and most important step. You may expect a little confusion at first but the more facts about a subject, the greater the possibility for correct conclusion5 or solutions.

Incubation is the least known step. It consists of forgetting about the actual problem for a time. Now the confusing material will be placed in its proper setting. ~nimportant material is forgotten and you will return to work with fresh enthusiasm.

Inspiration should come now if you have effectively used the first two steps, includ- the necessary d8$ire and :perseverence. lt so, you .will want to work on the p-1'9b~ for a long time. Ideas should come rapidly and new relationships and insight into the problem might also mark this step.

Verification and revision is the final step. You may want to experiment and add to your observations, perhaps to read more widely. Now try revising the paper, being conscious of how your ideas are expressed. The end result should be a concise paper, based on fact and presented with enthusiasm.

Christmas is celebrated in different ways in the different parts of Italy.

In the South, people enjoy a shining sun and a rather warm temperature on Christmas day when they dance their traditional folk dances in the main square of their village. Besides that they participate in public games and organzed folk shows

In the North, the cold temperature and sometimes the presence of snow oblige the families to celebrate Christmas indoors Christmas is the only time of the year where all, the relatives meet and spend two days together

But for this difference, northern and southern Italy have similar Christmas customs People go to church and listen to midnight Mass and then have a big banquet the following noon. The Christmas tree and the creche are the decorations of every house. Big creches are built also in every chill:ch and a prize is given ·to the church which has the best one.

In the village, on Christmas night , sometimes the parish prepares so called_ 'livingcrec h es,' in which rea l persons substitute for the little statues The most popular people in the village get the honor of being in the creche.

Christmas h as a particular meaning for the children; parents make them believe that Jesus Christ (Jesu Bambino) bnngs presents to the good children in the same nigh~ ~n which his birth is celebrated. The real ongm of the gifts is revea led by the parents whose children reac h eight or nine years. Afte r that they exchange regular presents among the members of the family.

Mothers and fathers slyly hide the wrapped gifts from snoopy eyes in dark closets and musty cedar chests. The churches are also preparing for the approaching holiday, but in a different way. Evergreen sprigs are being placed on the pews and altar candles are lit to reflect the joy of the season. Ministers are painstakingly preparing the important sermon, including not only the good wishes and hopes of the season, but also the ever-present message of Christmas.

nity. The traditional carols which are sung at Christmas time remind some of the aweinspiring scene of the nativity. Shepherds, noblemen, and angels were surrounding the manger where the new King of Peace was born. A silence had fallen over all and only the songs from the Heavenly host could be heard singing praise to the new infant who would someday save the world by selflessly giving us His life.

This holy time of the year brings many things to mind. Let us not permit earthly gains to affect our feelings of love for the child born on this day many years ago.

Be Proud 'Of 1Socks

"Oh, how I hate these horrible red socks!"

"Ugh, aren't they a mess? They don't even match my sweater!"

These are just a few of the comments made by the senior girls whencv•:r LHS has .1 game. It seems as if ihey aren't particularly happy with their Pepper uniform s We h ear su('h thing s as : "M y maroon socks don't match my orange sweater " "these darn emblem s, they 're so small and dinky and they're im· possible to get on straight!" "My sweater is so big, I'm positive two people could g et into it at the same time!" Sound familiar? But think of the complaints of the Peppers if they had to wear the same uniforms this illustrious group wore tw e nty years ago. The uniform included one red sock wth a black cuff, one black sock with a red cuff(!?), black skirts and sweaters with red neck-kerchiefs and red hats. If they had to wear this uniform just once, they'd gladly welcom e b ack those "terrible red socks," th a t "dinky emblem ," and that "too bi g sweater."

The one thing the senior girls seem to forget is the fact that no one forced them to sign up for Peppers. There wasn't anyone standing over them with clubs saying, "You join Pepper s or else!" Member ship is strictly on a voluntary basis. No one abso• tutely has to be a P epper.

Thi s club re pre se nts the Lincoln High school spirit, its teams, its traditions. This is 1y our senior year and in a few month s you ' ll be going out that front door for the last t ime as a part of LHS. Wearing that red and

INTRODUCING-

JuniorDescribes LileInGermany

"The standards in Germany are approximately fifty years behind American standards. Their lux• uries are very much limited to the rich," said Gary Dillow, now a junior at LHS.

Gary and his family spent a year and a half in Bad Kreuzenach, Germany, and a year and a half in Edinburgh, Scotland, because his father, in the Air Force, was stationed there.

"The German school I went to was a U. S. Army dependent school and was about the same as LHS only smaller," compared Gary.

"The boys wear knickerbocker pants with long stockings or a 1 o t of them wear short pants. The girls dress like girls here but they usually wear drab colors. The reason for this is that most of them do not Dillow have washing machmes so they wash everything by hand and the lighter colors get dirty too fast.

"Germany is still not completely recovered from the war. In Mainz, Germany, around the railroad tr3:ck_ there are bomb - destroyed buildmgs. Also there is only about two or three telephones per 6()()0 people all over Germany.

"In E dinburgh, Scotland I attended an English school that is qu~te different from Lincoln High It is called a high school but students begin at the age of 12 and graduate when they are 15. They may go on to the higher schools, then go to college or enter their chosen field," explained Gary.

"Conditions in Scotland are a great deal like those of Germany. During the winter the people store food for about one day in a pantry and it is necessary to make at least one trip a day to the grocery stor e In the summer the people go marketing before fixing each meal. The people cook on very old gas stoves. The only source of heat is a small fireplace in the sitting room."

Gary compared Germany and Scotland and decided that, on the whole, the Scottish are more friendly than the Germans.

Class Sees 'Fight'

A mad dash through room 321, a psychology class, brought a gasp from the students , last we e k. Jim Roach :"'as running from Gary Kubert with an ex pression of desperate fear and Gary wore an expression of pure hatred.

A fight appeared inevitable. Miss Dorcas Weatherby who was replacing Miss Florence Jenkins for the period, grabbed at a shirt as they ran up and down the aisles. After running around in this manner for a time they eventually found the door.

GoodIn Media

A stunned silence h i t the room and then a burst of laughter after seeing Miss Weatherby's face flash a smile.

Offsets·Problems

"Television mass education" was discu sse d recently by a Lincoln High panel and sponsored by Mrs. Mary Boyle. Miss Esther Montgomery moderated the discussion g roup on the Voice of The Young Citizen over IITOR, consisting of Galen Hadley, Margaret Howey Pat Kinney Mary Teale and Bob Schwindt. The TV experiment at Lincoln High was cited as how this type of education was in practice "Schools that are unable to provide a specialized teacher will profit from this type of education " stated the panel. "The chance of technical difficulties is not a lar ge problem and the lack of personal contact and experim e n ti n g by the pupils can be remedied by classroom teachers and laboratory sessions." The United States faces a challenge to their educational system and this media may prove important, was the concensus of opinion of the group. It was somewhat concluded that in view of the rise in number of s tud ents in proportion to the rise in teachers, this presentation method provided a superior teacher and more promise which affect the problems.

"Were you surprised? I thought this experiment would be effective for our unit on emotions!"

Still another ex-Link, Brian Etheridge, is making quite a name for himself down in Oklahoma. "Oakie," Link ace his sophomore and junior years, moved to Denver and led all the Mile High City high schools in scoring.

Now, as a sophomore at OU, he has won a starting role at forward. In his collegiate debut against Texas Western, he canned 17 points and used his 6'7" frame to pull down 13 rebounds He hasn't let up since.

The Lincoln High basketball squad showed surprising strength in copping their first three ball ga~es. The Links new basketball mentor, Mr. Alden Johnson, m a pre-season interview said "I can guarantee that the boys will hustle. " This the Link~ did, literally, in out-running and out-hustling their taller opponents in the early season contests.

Two games with Southeast and another encounter with Northeast spice the basketball scene the next couple of weeks. All three city rivals have started out the season well, and the teams seem pretty well balanced.

Another LHS winter sport squad will maugurate another season January 15 at Southeast. Coach Phil Sprague will take his gymnasts to SE in an attempt to duplicate last year's 10-0 record.

The state champion Lincoln High team conti nued their domination of high school basketball in Nebraska , as they downed Omaha Westsde and Lincoln Northeast. The two wins over the Warriors and the Rockets extended Lincoln High's winning streak to 32 straight and their 4th this season.

LHS DUMPS ROCKETS

Lincoln High rolled over their cross-town rival Northeast by a score of 47-36 Using a half court press, the Links were able to keep the Rockets from getting many field goals.

Lincoln High jumped into the lead 10-5 the first quarter by hitting three quick buckets and by converting a free throw with only a few minutes remaining in the quarter.

The Rockets came within one point of the Links three different times in t he second quarter, as they traded baskets wit h the Links , until Gary Haas scored four points , and Juris

The incessant clatter of four typewriters the rustle of paper groans from page editors thrills of the NHSPA convention complaints from the reporters the never-ending rush to meet deadlines the stupid jokes that break the tension, and finally, the look of pride on everyone's face when the finished copies of the ADVOCATE arrive in room 217

These are all sounds, emotions, and thoughts that are continued by eighteen seniors who bi-weekly put out the issues of the school paper.

This past semester has been one of mixed emotions for the staff members. The gripes, the stories that wouldn't fit, and the secrets held about scoop stories all these memories, good and bad, we will hold dear, long after we have walked out the front doors of Lincoln High School for the last time.

This is our last issue and we fondly bid our sad farewell to the room which has been the center of our lives and hopes.

May we thank our sponsors, printer and all the teachers and students who have cooperated to make our ADVOCATE a success Good-bye Links! It's been wonderful. THE ADVOCATE STAFF

Are You A D. L.?

Lincoln High School students arrived at LHS Monday morning, January 4, to find the school placated- with signs-"Don't be a

D. L " or "Are You a D. L.?" Much curiosity was exhibited and many funny combinations were guessed.

The initials D. L. could stand for a great many things. Among them are:

Debris Litterbug

Dangerous Link

Dirty Lounger

Dumb Louse

Double Loser

Drab Loafer

Decadent Leach

Deaf Listener

Dead Lump

Delinquent Lowbrow

Dramatic Lover or

Devastating Lizard.

D. L. could mean any of these things but they all contribute to a dirty lounge. LHS is fortunate in having a student lounge and students should do their best to keep it clean.

The all-school student lounge committee, "D. L." Thom , committee chairman, and Mrs. Ruth Schwarz, supervisor, designed and posted these signs in hope that it would create an interest among the students to keep the lounge clean.

Since its opening it has been a place for pic:.:;ul· 2, study anct reiaxation-a ' home away from home'. The behavior and attitude of some who enter the lounge couldn't or wouldn't be seen in their home.

Go, Senior Links!

As the clock ticked 12 :00, December 31, 1959 it marked the turning point that will come to mean different things to different people. To many it meant only the start of a new year and a new decade, but to the seniors of Lincoln High it meant that their class, the Class of 1960, had finally come into being.

In a short time there will be nothing left of our high school days but memories. Each movement of the clock only brings closer the time for departure. Each day's happenings are being put down in every senior's unwritten log of things, never to be forgotten, which may include the Friday night gang cheering at the games, new friends made that day, or in general just the little things done that will someday come to mean a lot in the hearts of each one of us. So let's go , senior Links, and make this year the best of the three spent at LHS. One

The American Cancer Society conducted a one-year investigation of 21,980 PortlamL On .:i:;on , high sdw ol :;tudents who smoked. The m ain reason for acquiring this habit was said to be because the parents smoked "This study of teen age smoking habits is particu l arly interes ti ng ," states Mr. Carl Manthey, "because a similar investigation will be announced later at Lincoln High " It was also found in t h e investigation that 25 % of the teen-age boys smoked and only 13 % of the girls were smokers. Those who smoked were among those of low academic record and those not participating in the school's extracurricular activities.

There is an aquarium where many fish and sea animals such as octopi and sharks are kept. People are allowed to dive in and swim around."

While the twins were in Bermuda they saw President Eisenhower, who was there for a conference with Prime Minister Macmillan. They also saw the National Yacht Race that is held every spring.

Open Letter

The Ifncoln High student body wishes to state that 1t IS genu~ely sorry for the disturbances following the Lmcoln Hlg~ School-Lincoln Southeast basketball game. The vast ma3onty of the boys and girls of Lincoln High does not approve such conduct and hopes that the entire student body will not be condemned for the actions of a few. Perhaps one of the main causes of Intra-city rivalry ~te:r:n~from the pride which the students have in their md1v~dualsch?ols. We are sometimes too much concerned ~th our side and do not see the other fellow's point of view. We have acc7pted the responsibility for our actions and the ~ersons mvolved have been disciplined.

We smcerely hope the friendly relations which have existed m the past will continue to characterize the conduct of students ii:i all Lincoln schools in the future.

Bye Bye Sportsmanship Trophy!

It seems a shame that the actions of so few people can be judged as the actions of so many. Lincoln High, because of its stature both scholastically and athletically is always open to criticism from the general public. More so than most other schools. Because of this, the actions of a few people after the game with Southeast a couple of weeks ago were built up ·until they were judged by some peopte as the activities of the whole student body. The statement issued by the Student Council shows that we are bending over backwards to apologize and attempt to right the wrong done by a few students who definitely were not representative of the student body as a whole.

Foreign lagnuage observance last week was a great success and another fine displa y of organization from our Foreign Language department. Very few people realize it but Lincoln High has one of the best if not the best High School for eign lan gua ge departments in the mid-west. Lincoln Hi gh is fortunate to hav e four teachers the calib er of Miss Tere sin a Danese , Miss Elizabeth Grone , Mrs. Ruth Buckner and Miss Lorraine Strasheim Ea ch of these teachers is outstand i n g in h er fi eld A gre at amount of credit is due them.

Joy Night Begins To Roll

If practice and enthusiasm is any indication of how well a production will come off, Joy Night this year should be a tremendous success. There has definitely been more long range planning by the various skits than there has been in previous years. There are a number of skits who have been workin~ very hard since last November. When this happens you know there is interest being shown.

Joy Night Central Committee is going to have its work cut out for them. in choosing 20 acts out of the some 50 which will try out. From all indications everything points to a successful Joy Night production for 1960.

" R ed and black , nothing lacks" is the theme of Miss Clara John,son's freshly painted green classroom. By enclosing the seating chart in a LHS book cover and disguising t he English book lists in covers of red and black, Miss Johnson and her classes have added some extra color to their room.

Mrs. Ruth Siefkes, Lincoln High School librarian, wishes to bring the students' attention to a special TV program next Sunday night, February 21, from 7 to 8 p.m. "Shadow of a Soldier," the story of U. S. Grant, will be sponsored by the American Heritage series on NBC television.

!-Appearance. Take great pains with your personal appearance Avoid washing whenever po ssible. Make sure your clothes are dirty and untidy. The approved uniform of the YHA (Young Hoodlums of America) consists of a dirty white T -shirt and tight bluejeans (The desired degree of tightness can be obtain ed t hrough repea te d shrinkings.) Above all, never wear a belt.

2-Manners. Brush up on your manners. Refrain from saying "please " or "exc use me," and und er no condit ion ever apologize when you've been wrong. Be careful not to consider anyone's feeling or to show any form of courtesy.

3--School work. Your school work counts. Remember that it is absolutely unheard of for a member of the LHA to be passing in more than one subject. (Preferably gym.) It is also helpful to neglect to bring p encil , book s, or paper to class.

4-Dri ving Work on your driving habits. By all means never be a courteous or a safe driver. Show your driving "ability" by leaving sufficient amounts of rubber at each stop.

Signs that change from day to day were placed next to the card catalogue in the Lincoln High School library, February 12. They began on this date to celebrate Abraham Lincoln's birthday because reading meant so much to him, according to Mrs. Ruth Siefkes, librarian. The following sayings are examples of a few of the signs, the purpose of which is to inspire wider reading experience: "Now read this " "To discover what reading can do for you, READ!" "Now read th is •... " "Reading is more than a school assignment. It's for life," "Now read this .•. " "Books store the world's knowledge in readiness for you."

A special exhibit of books and covers w ill be displayed on George Washington's birthday, Monday, February 22, in the Lincoln High School library , according to Mrs. Ruth Siefkes, librarian.

Roach'sRamblings

Champions in their own right

Wetl, the basketball season is over, and we can be proud of the 10 boys who represented Lincoln High on the basketball court,_ A great amount of credit is due to coach Alden Johnson, who in his first year here at LHS, took a team made up entirely of last year's reserves and tried to uphold the traditions set by two previous state championship teams.

I am sure that Coach Johnson would be the first to say that it would not have been possible without the 10 boys, who, in my estimation are 10 champions in their own right, both on or off the court. Lincoln High was not given a chance to break even this season but our 'champs' went out and finished 10-6 for the year, which included a win streak of 7. When you consider these things plus the fact that every team that LHS played was out to beat the 'State Champions,' Lincoln High had a very successful season.

Support of Southeast

Lincoln Southeast having won the right to represent the Lincoln area in the state basketball tourney, should r~ceive all O\.!r support. Lincoln Southeast, m a sense, IS representing Lincoln High, and I for one will be at the Coliseum cheering them on.

Lincoln High Not Competing?

Can you visualize Lincoln High not competing in basketball or football? Of course not. Yet a few weeks ago at our Brothe~hood assembly the two men from the Am!lr•can Legion brought out a very sad po1_nt, that being, the absence of a representative from Lincoln High in the Annual :4"?erlcan Legion Oratorical Contest. Why ·1s •! that we will' all participate in or support Lincoln High in athletics but will neglect to support Lincoln High in the other ~ctivities. By other activities I mean especially school plays, Joy Night, and the like. Last year Lincoln Southeast won what could more or less be classified as the "State Trophy"in Fine Arts and Drama at the University of Nebraska. I would be1 the first to admit t~at they_ d; served to win it, but where was Lincoln High. To win this speech trophy contestants must pick up points, just as in basketb~lt, someone must be out on the floor shooting at the basket if you expect to win._ Las~ year Lincoln High had 7 people entered in the oratoriieal compet~tion and South~st h_ad approximately 30. Like they say C~a~•ty begins at home" and interest and part1c1pation in State wide dramatics and speech competition begin in the high school. W!'at can we do about this situation which ex1_s~ here at L:ncoln High? _ The answer-parhctpate and support Joy Nigh~, sch~I plays,. an~ take an interest in improving Lincoln Highs record in the Fine Arts on the state level. It's as simple at that!

The Sacred '' 1' '??

From what I hear around the corridors, the noon-time dance held a few weeks ago went over very well. I think just ~he fact that it drew over 400 people dunng the lunch hour would be basis enough for the Student Council to seriously consider holding these dances on a regular schedule of sorts , say once a month or every other week.

Speaking of the lounge, I heard some~here that the painting of a large letter '.L' m _the center of the floor is und_er cons1de~ation. I take it it would be used m the fashion of Omaha Central's sacred 'C' ~n_d So1;1the~t•s 'S'. Although it isn't too ongmal, 1t might be a good way to install more respect towards the lounge.

ODDS'N ENDS

Congratulations to Don Siefkes and Bin Fowles for winning two of the four Elks Scholarships given to Lincoln high school students I would like to apologize to Art McWilliams and Bob Reynolds for sadly misjudging their weights._ It would seem that our sports department needs glasses as in a wrestling story they reported that McWiltiams and Reynolds won the 38 and 27 pound classes respectively.

Having received the news tip

quette at a formal dance, your Advocate reporter-sleuth investi• gated the situation. Hiding in a guidance teacher's coat closet, I was able to hear one of these educational(?) discussions in process.

Below is a report of my find• ings. The names are anonymous to protect the guilty

Teacher: The first thing we should discuss is chaperons. Just how old should chaperons be?

Student: Old enough that they do not steal your date and young enough to realize it is perfectly proper to hold hands while dancing

Teacher: If you are in charge of finding and taking care of the chaperons, should you take them home af. ter the dance?

Student: No, they have been watching you all evening; you want a chance to be alone with your date.

Teacher: If a boy sends a girl flowers which clash with her dress, should she forget to wear the flowers?

Student : No, she should forget to wear the dress

Teacher: Should girls wear flowers in their hair?

Student: Yes, it helps hide the bald spots. Also, if she forgot to wear her wig no one would notice.

Teacher: Why should you have dance cards?

Student: That way if the dance gets too boring, you always can play cards.

Teacher : At the dance, how many dances should the boy dance with his girl?

Student: As few as possible.

Teacher: At the punch bowl who should pour-the boy for his date, or the date for the boy?

Student: The boy for his date; that way, he is sure of getting a full cup.

Teacher: If a girl's foot is stepped on while dancing, what should she do?

Student: Depending on the weight of her boy friend she better find the nearest doc• tor~but quick!

Teacher: Should members of the stag line dance with the hostesses?

Student: Depending on the size of the stag line, and the size of the hostess.

Teacher : Should members of the stag line ask the girls to dance, or should they get permission from t h e girls' dates?

Student: Always tap the boy on the shoulder; if the girl is wearing a strapless gown, your clammy claws suddenly tapping her shoulder may give her an added thrill.

At this moment a shrill scream pierced the air. Fleeing from my hiding place, I saw the teacher do a swan dive out the window.

Peekin' Back

65 years ago The Advocate was issued for the first time.

40 years ago 40 per cent of Lincoln High students were underweight, accord• ing to school physicians

33 years ago Approximately 85 LHS students drove to school.

2:1 years ago The Links sold for $1 00 20 years ago A new school song was introduced, "Hail to the Red and Black."

9 years ago Peppers bought a black and white panda bear with a red L sweater for their mascot.

Do you find yourself scribbling while Mr. Pfeiff delivers the sound announcements, or are you tracing triangles while Miss Gore expounds on the purpose of sitting erect?

Prepare yourself for a shock; teachers do the same thing!

Mrs. Boyle creates her own checker set while you explain Ivanhoe's role in A Tale of Two Cities, and Mr. Grosscup draws fences while you refight the Revo• lutionary War against France. Without realising it, Lincoln High School's faculty members reveal their true personalities when they doodle. Here now for the first time, Lincoln High teachers' true characters are revealed

Secret Desire Revealed

Drawing caricatures and profiles with wavy lines is a common doodle done by Mrs. Ruth Schwan, social science teacher in 325. This doodle denotes that she has a fine sense of humor. Circles drawn within circles with a single line is another doodle filling the page corners of Mrs. Schwarz' planning book This reveals she is inclined to weigh things as they affects her and not others. Mrs. Schwarz can also be found doodl· ing sketches of football players.

(Perhaps her secret desire is to play football.)

Sketching triangular pine trees witnesses that Mr Max Lien, English teacher in 301, is a lover of the outdoors Mr Lien s doodles of arrows present a picture of his determinedness and frankness. His drawings of snail shells shows his self -centeredness. (Maybe he just likes to crawl into his shell.)

Doodling At The Telephone

When talking on the telephone, Miss Dorthea Gore, music teacher in 326, transver ses parallel lines with triangles, shading them in al· ternately. This sheds light on her as being a good organizer and one

Quotable Quiz

To keep in with the theme of St. Patrick's Day, this question was asked of LHS students, what's a trefoil? The following are the answers to that question. By the way, a trefoil is a shamrock, the floral emblem of the Irish.

Susie Hanneman : Something you eat in the rafeteria

Charlotte A11derso11 : Someone who tells the truth.

Cindy Bruce : A vacuum clean e r. Don Stacy: Something you do when you're mad at your girl?

Sandy Peterson : A bug that flies.

Ron Bauers: Never he ard of it!

Gunta Rose : Somethin g that runs around in the halls (Yes, we have a lot of them.)

Paolo Scaparone: It's some sort of a leaf (You re close!)

La Donna Ho well : Something with three sides to it.

Sondra Witt: It's an animal.

Lydian Walsh : Someone who goes smurf instead of blowing his nose?

Bob Fenemore: Something to eat.

Nancy Sterner : Triple Mr Gillies.

Tom Beach: Kaiser's new product.

Cheryl Schessler: Girl with peroxided blonde hair. Don Van Dorn : Gads!

Cindy Schmidt: Something to eat. (You too?)

Mickey Snider: Hmmm, that's sumpthin'!

Bobby Williams : A beatnik like Art.

Art McWilliams: A beatnik like Bobby.

Susie Evans: A three dealy some• thing. (Huh?)

Willard Shepard : Don't ask me!

Dean Schwenke : Where'd you dig that up?

Mary Ann Meisner : It's more in• tellectual than I am

Ron Bridegam: You got me!

Steve DeVere: Something to eat. (Oh, hum )

Donna Filbert: Bah!

into effect , And famous General Washington, Was president-el e ct. In March was approved, The first postage stamp And to brighten our nights, Came the first gas lamp. Labor Day was proclaimed And Pluto was discovered, Bell patented his telephone, A new er.a, he unco v ered. March is really not a dull month, As you must know by now It s filled with many interesting things , So March, please take a bow.

to do things with a flourish Cre• ating a doodle tha(t looks like graph paper, Miss Gore displays her precisness and self.confidence Mr. William B. Bogar, principal of Lincoln High, divides his paper in half with a pencil line while on the telephone. He then continues to write on only one side of the line. This shows he is conservative and extravagent a t the same time!

Great Lovers Revisited Crude pictures of birds present Miss Lorraine Strasheim, Latin teacher in 315, as a hater of ani• ma ls. The flower t he bird carries in its beak indicates femininity. An octagon filled with disecting lines reveals her nervousness The mysterious initials 'C' and 'M' appear in several of Miss Strasheim's doodles

Mr. William Pfeiff, Dean of Boys, doodles a single wing football diagram Doodles of basketball plays are sure to be owned by Mr. Alden Johnson, social science teacher in 107. Both the doodles and the owners display a keen interest in sports.

Teacher Suffers From Agorophobia

Fanciful snakes drawn by Miss Marguerite Gundermann, at t endance director denotes a vivid ima• gination. (Must come from all the original excuses for tardiness she hears!)

Mr Alexander Currie, science teacher in 402 prints the lett e r 'K', proceed i n g then to give it human characteristics. The hat which always caps the letter pie• tures him as a nature lo ver. The ornamentation on the letter shows he strives for balance and takes no unne cessary chances.

An avid " O•f iller," Mrs, Ruth E. Gartner, English teacher in 217 suffers from agorophobia--dislike of open spaces. (Obviously, she's not destined to be the first per• son ro cketed into space).

Space Trip To Be Taken?

The theme song of Mr. Buford Grosscup, social science t eacher in 139, must be "Don't Fence Me In, " for his doodles of fences present a man who likes to travel. (Perhaps Mr. Gro sscup can take Mrs. Gartner's place inside the rocket.)

A neatly shaded checker board is the art work of Mrs. Mary Boyle, English tea ch e r in 203. The tidi.. n(:-~.S ~ of lhis (lo od l e reprc~0 ~1 t .:-.i1r r c;mLergeti.: a n u can , iu i na t ur e D1rawing sta rs Mrs Boyl e proves she is a ·'plu gger.'" (Not an old n ag-a hard work er!)

A logical mind is owned b y Mr. Carl Manthey, science te a cher in 403, for his doodle of triangles laid side by side reveals this. (Mr. Manthey h as long ad vocated ea t • i ng meals the way his mind i~ well-balanced ) If after reading this you still are drawing squares don't let it worry you - it's ju st a self•an a ly. sis!

Well hello once again! Say, have y ou ever had to go somewher e, but found that you were blocked at every move? You probably ha v e never had to g o to China as a missionary as Gladys- Aylward did, but perhap s you have had a similar experienc e and can understand how she felt Be• cause she lacked formal education, th e China Inland Mission Center was forc e d to refuse her as a mis• sionary to China. In The Small Woman, Alan Burgess tells how Gladys Aylward saved up enough money t o tra vel to Yan gchang where she met Mrs Geannie Lawson, an elderly lady who had been a m i ssi onary there for some time. If y ou want to know how to stop a prison riot and lead one hundred children on foot over the mountains of China check out The Small Woman. The two ladies opened up an inn which t:hey called the Inn of Eight Happinesses Miss Lorraine Strasheim has donated two qu a lity books to the Lincoln High library. One book, Mollie, is th e journal of Mollie Dorsey, who was a pioneer woma n in the Nebraska Territory This book is published by the Universit y of Nebraska Pr e ss. The second book, the Literary Works of Abraham Lincoln, selected by Carl Van Doren is illustrated b y John St e uart Curry. These books are read y to b e checked out if you would like to read them right away Mr Carl iManthey' s first and second period Physiology II class• es have b een r e adin g books on topics of scien ce.

Mr. Howard s collection of fif. teen thousand Indian articles is numbered among the largest in the United States. For the better part of his eighty years, Mr. Howard has been ex panding and cataloging his collection.

Civil War Article Dated 1866

Lester 's other hobbies include collections of Civil War mementos, coins , and stamps.

A nav y belt with dispatches dated 1866 is possibly the most outstanding it em in Lester's Civil War collection. His assortment of Civil War wea pans i s made up of two single shot pistols and a pin fire revolver. Lester also owns several lead drinking dippers be• lieved to have originated during this same per io d.

Lester's interest in the Civil War branches into his coin collection. Numerous Civil War tokens , especially those from the Union, compose a large part of his monetary collection. Among the Roman coins is Lester 's most cheris hed piece-a silver denarius. By selling and exchangin g coins, Lester makes much of his "pin" money.

Mexican and South American stamps intri gue Lester the most. He has estimated the overall value of the stamps and other collections at six hundred dollars.

Collections Termed 'Interesting'

Lester will keep his collections as a hobby, but hopes to work in the field of carpentry ra t her than enter into any fields that is connected with his various collections.

"Aside from my hobbies I guess my most unusual a ctivit y is walki n g three and one half miles to sc ho ol e, e r yda y, f'X: t P pt h"T"! it r ains or snows," Leste1· comments.

cause the guidance teachers and Mr. Bogar were interesting in findin g out how Lincoln High compares with other schools in this matter. The class will follow these steDS in conducting the study: observe and c ollect the material; classify; verify; generalize; and determine the

rvices. The home room classes started off the unit by seeing some flims entitled "Your Plans," "Teamwork," and "Why You." In early F e bruary, seniors heard Colonel Drath and Captain Scott from the S t ate Selective Service Board who gave a brief history of the Selective Service Board. They also explained draft classifications. The following week , the r e serve components visited Lincoln High. Col. Melvin Joh n son, Col. Carter, and Sgt. Lan repr esented the Army Reserves. Sgt. Roach and Sgt. Summers represented the Air National Guard. The Navy Reserves was repr esented by Chief Tergo,t and Yeoman Giltner. Sgt. Maj. Norris was present for the Marine Reserve. Each m a n gave a sample of what their branch offered in the way of a reserve program. Col. Johnson gave an overall sample of life in the Reserves Col. Johnson and Sgt. Lan are former grads of Lincoln High and Col. Carter is the father of Janie Cart er, a senior at Lincoln Hi g h The next week recruiters from the four branches of the armed were from the Army and Navy Recruiting Offic e s. Chief P e terson services spoke. The first speakers and Sg t. Bor g stede told of the qualifications and of the opportunities in the Navy while Petit Officer Rouse, Sgt. Caussin, and Pfc Roof gave r e ports on Marine life and qualifications. Pfc. Roof is a former student of Lincoln High. The same week women re cruiters talked to Lincoln High seniors.

Support "Minor" Sports

Winter is over so they tell me. Spring sports teams have begun their workouts despite old man winter, and will soon embark upon their rugged schedules, As far as football and basketball are concerned, no one can accuse Lincoln High students of not supporting the teams, but when 'it comes to supporting other sports such as track, tennis, baseball, and the like, there is a definite lack of backing from the student body. This is not only true in spring sports but it also holds true in the other seasons; gymnastics, swimming, wrestling. Granted-attendance has picked up in wrestling and swimming but let's don't stop thereL The track, tennis, and baseball teams wilt be working hard in the next few weeks to uphold the winning traditions of Lincoln High_,_, ,_and the least we can do is give them our all-out support.

More Cong .ratulations

Speaking of neglecting certain sports-last issue I failed to r ec ognize our other teams along with the basketball team for their fine seasons. With statewide competition now-adays divided the way it is in swimming and wrestling, any team which can manage to garner a state championship can well be proud of themselves. While Lincoln Hi g h did not receive State Champ ionship honors in swimming and wrestling, they did manage to have the only two individual state champions (outside of Omaha) in Bill Fowles and Art McWilliams. Last but not least may I mention the Gymnastics t eam. Coach Phil Sprague 's boys ran a close second to the state champion's Dennie Alber oops I mean Hastings. You can realize what a tremendous gymnastics team LHS had when you discover that every boy on the Varsity squad placed in the State finale. Once again congratulations to all Lincoln High winter teams "a job , well done!"

Joy Nite Rolling

Things are going full steam toward a successful production of Joy Night. The talent this year is tremendous and with the interesting color patterns and backdrop-this year's p rod u ct i on should be nothing less than a superb high school show. Last year's Joy Night is still being talked about, and from alt indications, this year's show should be just as good.

Seen LHS Everglades Lately?

I recall ha ving been told , not so long ago, by a stud e nt that th e st udent parking lot should be paved. Buddy the student parking lot n e ver looked so good as compared to what the teachers hav e to 'slop' into every morning and swim out of every evening. I walked by the teacher 's parking lot a while back on on e of the few days it has been warm enough to thaw a littl e bit , and that place looked lik e a quagmire. This condition happ e ns not only during the winter but the teachers also have to put up with a mud• dy parking lot during the summer, for when• ever we get as much as a small shower, it's like crossing the Potomac to get to their cars. If the faculty parking lot is going to look like a watering hole for wandering Buffalo every time it thaws or sprink les, then perhaps something shou ld be done about

Sometimes these names are erroneously spelled with a captial F. Apparently this is a hold over from the days when a capital F was written in manuscripts as ff As far back in history as we know, the second f had no cro ss stroke.

Did you ever have a problem for which you could find no answer? If so, (and don't say you haven't), you might meander into the library and beg, borrow, or check out Charles Clark's very interesting book, Brainstorming. In this book Charley (Mr. Clark, to you) describes that proce ss known as Brainstorming. He tells how businesses and individuals can use it. Brainstorming is a group endeavor wherei n everyone thinks up ideas, no matter how stupid or absurd , or downright impractical; no one is criticized for what he says. No negative thinking is allowed Individuals are encouraged to use the ideas suggested by others and add to them. If you want to check thi s out , be sur e that you hurry and do so before I do.

Task-masters Apprehended

Our over.worked, under-paid Lincoln High School faculty was scrupulously making each second of their planning period count.

1Mrs Mary Boyie, "English teacher, was "just killing time "

Mr. Wililam Ffeiff, Dean of Boys was "going to fill the coffee pot " while Mrs. Corene Herbster was busy " trying to beg two coffee cups off someone."

Caught gossiping with Mrs Merrill Grant, Miss Dorothy Dumpert frantically pointed to her room and blurted out, "I've got a prac• tice teacher in there!" "I'm not roaming!" bluffed Mrs. Alice Hibbert, office clerk, or, as Mr. Harold Gilliland, physical education instructor, put it, "I'm a teacher on official business.-naturally! !"

Miss Dorcas Weatherby Dean of Girls , was out "getting her exercise, " while Miss Florence Jenkins confessed that she was "en route to the telephone." "Forget you ever saw me," pleaded Mr. Jim Sommers.

Mr. Harry Kuklin, guidance teacher , refused to admit his guilt.

Mr Dick Beechner, social studies teacher, confessed to t he fact that he was "cu t ting class. "

Escapees From Salt Mine Querried

While th e faculty was hard at work(?), Lincoln High School students were also going about their duties.

Ilze Jakobsons was "getting some yeast," while John Round was "heading for the PSAB to ge t some frogs and turtles."

Rushin g past room 315 , an unidentified low flyin g objeet screeched, "I'm in a hurry!!" "S neakin g over to (another school!) was Andrea Georgi's objective, while Pam Hauschildt confessed she was "wearing out shoe soles ." Shirley Strand was delivering pap e r," while Tom Gross was roaming because "there was nothin g else to do."

"I won't t e ll you my name " 'someone r e pli e d, " but I am skipping study hall." A few minutes lat er, 'som e one' was on his way "up to Pfeiff's for a gripe ses• sion."

Says 'Plans Made

Hi again Slobs and Blobs,

Sons of the Blackand Red

"Beastls, and people who call me Raaabert' , especially Mr. Colson," is the pet peeve of this Link Last year, Bob attended an international school in St. Gallen, Switzerland, while his father taught at the University of Vienna. Son number three is a track Don Sutton. Don is in the Bus. Ed. curriculum (he thinks), and his activities a re Varsity track and L-Club. Winning the District track title at Crete last year is Don's biggest sports thrill. As for his ambition in lif e, Don says he'd lik e to "get to use Mr. Scott's pr ecious stopwatch " His pet peeve is people who say, Go Knights."

Sutton says he'll go to college som ewhere , but 'not NU!"

Last son for this issue is Knute Berstis, weight-man for Coach Har· · · -·· g :;: old Scott ' s thinclads. Knute played on the Varsity basketball team this year and is a member of the LClub. Enrolled in the Engineering curriculum, he has been on the honor roll each of his fi ve semesters at Lincoln High.

Bill Horwich, Omaha CENTRAL 1IlGH REGISTER sports editor, hit the nail right on the head when, in his column "Sports Nest," he expressed the need for revamping the qualifying setup for the State Basketball Tourney. Horwich's beef was, that due to the concentration of high-ranking teams in the big cities and the present system of dividing into districts, three of the top teams in the state, Central, LHS, and Northeast, were left out of state; meanwhile, weak-sister teams from out -state grabbed tourney berths in Lincoln.

One remedy would be the complete abolition of the district carnivals. In their places would be playoff games, with each of the "top 8" teams playing a best twoout -of-three series with the "sec• ond 8" The winners would then proceed to the state finals at the coliseum.

The ranking of the teams is the lone problem The Nebraska High - School Athletic Association would have to make the listin gs according to unbiased scouting reports. This they would probably never do because of the cost and bother of such a thln-g. Rankings of "prep experts" would never settle anything. Pairings for the playoffs would

be the number 1 team vs. the number 16 team; number 2 vs number 15; number 3 vs. number 14 e t c. This, along with the two-out-of-three ser ies would just about eliminate chances of a weak sister reaching the State Tourney.

Omaha South's victory over Lincoln Southeast in the finals of the state tournamen t was only justice Last year, South ran through its schedule undefeated un t il the l atter part of the season when

nary round of the Class "C" edition of the 1960 state high school bas ke tball tournament.

High schools representing th e far corners of the state sent their teams and followers to Lincoln in high hopes of taking home the championship. Making the longest trip were the Rushville followers who trave led approximately 350 miles According to Peggy Havenkamp, president of the Ru shville pep club, the fans that didn't drive to Lincoln came on the train , leaving at 11 o'clock the previous night. M0st a rlnlt followers wore hats '• ,;' ;.ot Mr. LaVcrne Faaborg, Ful!e5lfing ,..cfieers ¥fiile- ·w~a...11tig~"!in

Ind i a n h ead re s s which hung to the floo

losers , it was a hard accepted fact that they were no lon ger in the running for a championsbip for which they had worked so hard.

For th e winners, it was a long awaited dream that they were only two ga mes away from the title.

Dave feels that California schools are the laziest, but give more homework. He stated that science is not as fully developed in Lincoln as in California. "On the other hand," he added, "I be· lieve students here try harder and therefore receive better grades."

One school Dave attended was composed of three buildings, each the approximate size of Lincoln High, plus fifty bungalows with two classes in each Altogether there were 3,400 pupils and each went a half-day.

Contrasted to this, he also attended a school in Terre Haute, Indiana with a registration of 25 students. There was only one teacher , who was also the principal, and one classroom that held all eight grades

First a site must be selected carefully, including the town, the choice of the locality, and the choice of the lot. Another thing to consider is the house plan, which includes conditions of any problem, the principles, and the rooms

The house planning outline itself consists of: orientation of the plan; study of general plan schemes; circulation systems; detailed study of each room; fenestration; artificial lighting; heating systems; interior decoration; landscaping; and general architectural service contracts, and superintendent.

Compared to California schools, Southern schools are rather strict. "In Georgia, we students had to stand up and greet the teacher when he (she) entered the room," Dave remembers. Although Dave has taken three years of Spanish, once in a while he found it difficult to speak or understand the language while he was living in 1 Mexico He recalls on e tim e wh e n h e had finished a m e al in a restaurant and desir e d to kno w the price. He d!Sked the waiter "how much" in Spanish. However, "how much" is the Spanish idiom, cuanto. Separately, how is como, and much is mucho. So Dave kept asking como mucho. Unfortunately, como mucho really means "I eat a lot." When the waiter heard this he acted very pleased and replied that he was glad Da ve at e a lot At first , moving from school to school Dave found it rather dif. ficult to adjust. He found

winter wool skirts as in previous years. A white cotton middy blouse, embroidered with LINKS for the Varsity, and LHS for the apprentices, is included In the outfit.

there was friction between the two men and the sparks flew before the matter was settled.

It seems Sullivan wanted to write a grand opera for a man named Carte , who was building an opera house. Sullivan asked Gilbert to write a serious libretto and al so told him he was tired of wastin g his talent on trivial plots. To this Gilbert replied it was ju st too bad. Sulli va n blew up. Then followed an interchange in which each partner reliev e d his pent-up emotions regard ing the other.

Speakers

To Try Out Today

The time has arrived for the selection of sen ior speakers for the 1960 Commencement exercises·. Tonight, in room 129, the applicants will present their speeches. These are on topics of general interest, and are a maximum of ten minutes in l e ngth. Judgments of the speeches will be based on their content, suitability organization and presentation. The following people will act as senior speaker judges: Mr. William Bogar Miss Dorcas Weatherby, Mr. William Pfeiff, Miss Irene Martin, Mrs. Mary loui se Alexander, Mrs. Viola Houdek, Mr. Windle Ree l, Mrs. Martha Cline, Mr. Harry Kuklin, Mrs. Virginia Rob erts and senior class officers , Sally Dale, Howard Strain, Ri c h Revis and Jerry Jacobs

Dispute Settled

One evening, after this, a friend got them together. They t alked things over and then shook hands. Soon after, Gilbert sent Sullivan his sketch for a new piece, which Sulli va n thought " funny and pretty," and they went to work.

However. Sullivan wai t ed until the last possible minute and then , in N ovember, went furiously to work. -On the evening of Decemb er 7, 1889, The Gondoliers opened at the Savoy in London.

The Gondoliers was possibly the greatest triumph of Gilbert and Sullivan durin g their joint careers It is consid ered the gayest of all their operas.

Sullivan said to Gilbert: "In such a perfect book as The Gondoliers you shine with an individual brilliancy which no other writer can hope to attain."

The curtain will go up on Lincoln High's production of The Gondoliers at 8 :00 on May 6 and 7. The price is 75 cents or an activity ticket.

Roach'sRamblings

Se.nior P1roms or Not?

It has happened again! Every year at this time comes the question-"Why don't we have class proms?"

I've done a little sleuthing in search of an answer to this question, and I have come up with some interesting details.

The last time an attempt was made to have a graduation formal was in 1955-a·nd I do mean an attempt. It seems that there were only 20 tickets sold. So actually you might say that it went over with the thundering impact of a falling leaf.

The last successful prom was m 1954 at which door prizes were awarded and bingo games were played. I always thought ~at the senior prom was 3ust a formal ·da1;1ceW?-th maybe light refreshments but nothing like the extravaganzas that were called the senior proms. (They were referred to as the Junior-Senior Banquet, and were dinner dances.)

Well, anyway, why the loss of interest?

Maybe the kids were tired of danc~. Maybe there were too many dances back 1n those years. I also feel that probably at• tendance suffered because the dance really didn't resemble a "prom" as such, having lost all such resemblance in the confusion of door prizes, games and dinners.

I think all that the students want are a few simple formals to highlight certain events in the year, such as graduation. We don't want any side shows, just a dance I believe that we would have no trouble m getting support for such dances since there is an indication among the student body that there is a desire for one.

Since it is too late for the seniors to have a Senior Prom this year, the problem is left entirely to the sophomores and juniors.

Contrary to many students' beliefs, the administration has no restrictions on proms except that because of a Board of Education ruling, all school activities are restricted to the school grounds. However, as anyone who was at the sports ban9uet will whole heart.i edly agree, the Activities Building can be made to look very attractive.

A word of advice: the time to do something about these dances is now! Don't wait till next year. That's what we did last yearand here we are. If the junior class officers were to get together now and decide to have a senior prom next year, it could be put down on Lincoln High's activities program. If it is put off until next year, I'm afraid you will find yourselves in the same predicament 1s we are now.

All-Sports Banquet is Successful

Congratulations to Ardith and Jim for b~ ing huuored as all-sports King and Queen

The all-sports banquet showed good organization on the part of its planners. The decorations and the way the theme was carried out added tremendously to the event. This was a fine tribute to our Student Council and all others who made the evening an enjoyable one for all.

Cla ,ssroom Time Valuable

During the school year, we receive evalua• tions of our work. That is, every six weeks, or three times each semester, the teachers estimate what we have learned in their particular departments. The grades that are eventually recorded on our permanent school record are of vast importance. These are taken into consideration many times in later years. Most of us strive for grades of 1's or 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 just keep up with the Jones', our fellow classmates. If these reasons provide the necessary incentive for productive work they are excellent, but if the information learned from these courses is not retained then the grade received, no matter how good, doesn't mean a thing.

Hobo Day But Once A Yearl Havrng heard nothing contrary, from all reports the seniors withstood Hobo Day in fine fashion. Our congratulations and sincere thanks go out to the teachers who had to put up with us.

OdeToSpring

Behold, spring days again are here ! (They always come this time of year.)

Pale green is the color of reeds by the stream so lazy,

And of the mischievous child who ate the first daisy. The birds have arrived with their cheerful song,

(Must this racket continue all day long?)

Baseball is played on tender young grass, Many a window is blest with new glass. Country travelers gaze upon trees in bud, They have no choice-their car is engulfed in mud.

Picnics are held in parks filled with infant plants, They're attended by children, parents, and ants

Springtime turns many a young man's fancies to love, The thing, all winter, the young girl 's been thinking of.

Now school days are sadly drawing to a close, For this event, many a prayer has 'arose.''

Ambitious gardeners shower their gardens with seeds, After much watering, they have beautiful weeds. The fresh new spring smells are filling the air, Apple blossoms, skunks (a fragrance so rare !) Spring housecleaners throw things away with savage glee : Halloween candy, turkey bones, the Christmas tree Banners from the maypole spread spring cheer.

The Zbytniuk family, commencing their long journey to freedom in 1939, became citizens of the United States in 1955. "April 24 is the most celebrated day in our home, because that is the day we actually became citizens," adds Barbara Zbytniuk, Lincoln High School senior.

The Zbytniuk family consists of Barbara , Olga who is an LIIS sophomore, Larissa, Clara, Orest, who graduated from LIIS in 1958, Teddy, Mrs Zbytniuk, and the late Mr. John Zbytniuk.

The Zbytniuks lived in Austria in 1939, but were forced to flee to Poland when Russian troops invaded that country. Barbara and •rest were born in Poland. Soon after, the Russians moved into Poland and the Zbytniuks moved to Yugoslavia There Olga was born.

Family Retu'rns to Homeland

"When returning to Austria, we were constantly on the road, mostly on foot or by wagontrain. We had to cross very high, rugged mountains," Barbara remembers.

In Salzburg, Austria, the Zbytniuks lived in a refugee camp from 1947 to 1950, set up by the Americans. They had to live in this camp b ecause the city had been bombed and their home was destroyed "We lived in wooden barracks ," says Barbara, of the camp, "and the room was divided by blankets to accommodate ten families." Here, preparations began to have a Nebraska church sponsor their immigration.

The famil y next tra ve led to Bremen, Germany. However, before the Zbytniuks were allowed to leave Austria, they had to undergo six complete physical check -ups which included a great number of shots. Soon nfter, t h e f,imily w"" interviewed by the American Consel and finally was permitted to leave. In Bremen the Zbytniuks lived for three weeks on the airbase in an airplane hanger.

Again they underwent another physical examination and boarded the General M"cRay,an army transport which lan de d first in Halifax, Canada " This was the last trip this transport was making with refugees to the United States," remark ed Barbara. Journey to Freedom Is Over From

The famil y liv e d four months on a farm near Minatare where Olga entered first grade and Barbara was set back two grades because of her lack of knowledge of the English langua ge The Zbytniuks finally arrived at Lincoln. Both Barbara and Olga attended Prescott, Hayward, Clinton, and Trinit y Lutheran where Barbara skipped seventh grade. When asked to compare some of our customs to tho se t hey had known in their countries, Olga and Barbara replied, "There are no mixed schools, no study h alls, lots of hom ework and hardly any time for dating. In fact, it is not unusu al for a girl and boy to ha ve their first date after they are out of school."

Dancing sc hools seem to he rather popular in the cities in which they have lived Ballroom dancing was offered if the girl was chaperoned by an adult.

Other activities enjoyed by the gir ls are skiing, skating, tennis, and horse back riding Barbara states that she would never give up her American citizenship papers for anythin g.

Dream becoming reality

It seems the pet dream of the Student Council (the patio project) is at last coming into reality. According to Mrs. Ruth Schwarz, the council is ready to begin work on it any day no w The Student Council also has hope that the patio will come into full use beginning this fall. With the planned "closed campus" during the noon hour, the patio should turn into a fine picnic area, a place to grab some fresh air The Council should be commended on their patience and diligence in following the patio project through to the end.

Thanks to our Counselors

In the three years I have been here at Lincoln High, I don't believe there has been any teacher who has been more important in my high school education than my counselor, nor has there been any other class which will help me more in future years than my home room class. What could be more important than learning how to study, or to solve your personal problems? Studying marriage prob• lems, teenage problems, and how to face them will be as valuable, in the long run, as informatio n gained in any other subject I have taken at Lincoln High. Without our counselors' advice and help we could never have received the full advantages offered at Lincoln High. Our counselors have prepared us for adulthood as best they can. It's surprisi ng what a great amount these teachers can acoomplish and the time that is saved, by taking two small hours out of the week and doing the things that will have such a tremendous bearing on our fu. ture lives and education. We should be thankful to these teachers for their patience in guiding us through high school and thus making this stage of our lives a meaningful learning period.

links Soard works hard

From all reports, this year's LINKS is going to be pretty good! The LINKS board is to be congratulated for the fine work they have done in their efforts to make their deadlines an d to ge t th e publication out on tim e (this ha s not al ways happened). It's a tremendous j ob for just si x students t o h andle a 152 pag e yea r book. If you don't think so, you are sadly misinformed. These students have worked hard, very very often long into the night and on wee k en ds, not to mention holiday. As Mrs. Ruth Gartner said, "The people on th e LINKS boa rd have signed their lives away !" Congratulations LINKS board, I'm lookin g for ward to see ing the finished prociuct.

Capitalize on Education

I was reading over some old ADVOCATESand I ran across one with an article which made me stop and think. The headline read - It's later than you think. It went on to say that there w e re only 210 days left till graduation. Now there are less than three weeks left until the class of 1960 will take its place in the line of graduated classes. As seniors, when we look back over the three years we have been here at Lincoln High, we shouldn't try to remember the things we did not do or wish we 0ould have done , but rath• er we should remember the things we did do - and profit by them. Granted, we made mi s takes in judgement once in a whil e- but their mistakes have all been part of our education, part of our maturing. We should take what w e have learned in high school and use it to good advantage in the years to come.

Underground World Discovered Students'ActivitiesVary

by Tom Ollenburg and Janeil Shepherd

Beneath the hallowed, ivy-cover• ed walls of Lincoln High School three lone figures explore th~ wonders and mysteries of pipeclad tunnels. The leader, Mr. Donald Flanigan, custodian, begins to explain the construction and purpose of the air tunnels under this institution of "higher learn• ing." Enthralled. by the strange maze of steam. and water pipes, the two young novices of the tunnel exploration, Janeil Shepherd and Tom Ollenburg, Advocate roving reporters, venture into a darkened cavern. There is a quiet thud, a dazed and startled burst of words, and much hysterical laughter

"Well, I guess that's what I get for being over three feet tall, Janeil!''

Tom isn't the only one who re• gretfully meets head-on with a jungle of low strung pipes. Mr Flanigan, all six feet two inches of him, on occasion has unwitting• ly submitted. himself to shock treatments when he forgets to duck for low hanging light bulbs.

Along with broken pieces of light bulbs (from guess what!), the floors of the tunnels are strewn with pencils, chalk, black • board erasers discarded love notes, and other assorted treasures from the past ; all of which have been thrown down the cold air ducts.

When the building first opened in 1914, two magazines from the age were inculded among the articles used in playing basketball with the air ducts. These issues of Illustrated World and Pictorial Review are among Mr. Flanigan's momentoes of his life in the underground.

Pipes And More Pipes

Hot pipes, cold pipes, hard (e&pecially on th e head) pipes, copper pipeS-all fonn the circula • tion system of the tunnels. Throughout the tunnels there are over 300 valves to control the flow of heat and water Ant automatic temperature regulator system has 36 dials on it alone!

One corner of the tunnels is the permanent haunt of a mechanism whi ch a ppears to be a cross between a p i pe or ga n a n d an octo p u s A.e-h1'!11lv it icr s:1 vAi.: ne twork of pipes which controls the steam flow

Behind th e barrage of pipes the tunn e l walls are pocked with air sh afts. Each room in the high school has its own cold air duct l ead ing dir ec tly into the tunn el s An y sound in the undergrou nd corridors filters up the air ducts int o the rooms.

A 44 mile per h our wind blows 68 degree air through the tunnels with terrific hurricane force. (If you think this descr iption is ex• agerated ask Janeil - she now wears a wig!)

All air that is blown through the ducts has ·,been purified. The air enters through vents by the cafeteria and passes to an air washer. Here t he air is bombarded by numerous je ts of water. After being thoroughly doused, the air passes to the tunn els and to the rest of t:he building.

Moving Floors

Every three minutes the ai r sur• rounding Lincoln High students is changed. Explorers, coming before the roving reporters, have left a mark of their explorations The tunnel walls are t atooed with the names of students dating back to 1940 and before.
