After six months of wishful waiting five Lincoln High seniors have moved one step closer toward a four-~ear Merit Scholarship to the college of their choice.
Semifinalists have been revealed as: Dave Geier, Vic Lacy, LindaMarsh, Wayne Rasmussen, and Louis Schwartzkopf.
In the period 1956-62, nearly 6000 students have received Merit Scholarship awards and thousand of other high-scoring students have been assisted in obtaining financial aid from other sources.
Final selections will be announced sometime around May l, 1963.
The Time Has Come
For Merit Hopefuls
All future 1964 graduates of Lincoln High School who wish to enter the 1963-64 National Merit Scholarship competition should register now with their counselors.
This is the word from Miss Dorcas Weatherby, assistant Principal in charge of scholarships.
MARCHDATE
The National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test will be given in the school Saturday March 9, 1963, from 8:30 on.
Students who will graduate from Lincoln High in 1964 and enter college in the same calendar year are eligible for scholarship consideration in the 1963-64 Merit Program.
To receive consideration the student must take the test when it is offered in his school. Participating students must pay a $1.50 fee on the day of the test. Awards in the Merit Program are granted on the basis of intellectual merit, but student financial needs determine the amount of individual payment. The payments are renewable each year without further testing,
INTERPRETATIONGIVEN
After the test, each participating student receives an interpretive folder that reports individual test results for comparison with scores of high school students across the country.
"mey, I got one of those too," say National Merit Semifinalists, Louis Schwartzkopf, Dave Geier, Vic Lacy, and Wayne Rasmussen as they watch Linda Marsh reading the letter announcing her as a Merit Semifinalist.

In this lighthearted play, Dad is an efficiency expert who thinks what works at the factory will work at home with his twelve children.
Anne, one of his daughters, quarrels with him about his old-fashioned ideas on clothes and efficiency, and his insistence that he chapero~ her dates. The argument extends throughout the play until the end when an understanding is reached. COMMONEXPERIENCE
Play director, Mrs. Maxine Faust says, "The play has warmth and feeling. The misunderstanding between father and daughter is a commonexperience. The play is a good audience-getter. 11
11The biggest difference that I have found in America is the freedom of voicing opinion in school," stated Mario Landingin, Lincoln High' s foreign exchange student. Mario, whois from Zamboanga City, the Philippines, a city approximately the size ot Lincoln, says, 11I find Americans very hospitable and interested in making my stay 'bl II as pleasant as poss1 e.

New Teac rs Equalize Enrollment Increase
The pupil population in Lincoln High as in other public schools has taken a sharp upward turn. This year has seen ,it trememdous influx of students to the school. The prob1 em has necessitated an addition of 15 new teachers to meet the increased needs.

Mario's father is a farmer who raises coconut, cacao, rice, and corn, as well as most of the other food the family uses.
ONEOF SEVEN
Mario's family is large (he is one of seven children.) He has one sister and three brothers older than he and a younger sister and brother.
The co-educational school which he attends in the Philippines is called Zamboanga A.E. Colleges and is both a high school (seventh through tenth grades) and a college. Mario would have entered the college section this year.
After attending this college, he plans to enroll in the University of the Philippines in Quezon City, where he will study to become a doctor of medicine.
During a 10-month session at the University of Indiana, Miss Strasheim learned the Russian language and studied Russian history. Another five weeks was devoted to preparation for her trip and then five weeks was spent touring a large part of Russia. The year's program was financed by the National Defense Act. While in Russia, Miss Strasheim had an opportunity to meet the people of the Soviet Union. She was very impressed by the amount of interest the people showed in American customs, the American way of life, and their security.

11Ideas must be very d1tterent in Russia and the United states," remarked Miss str asheim, 11but the people in both! countries have one similar d , II es1re, peace.
Miss strasheim plans to be a tour leader in the Soviet Union, next summer, under the National Defense Act's Foreign Exchange Plan.
'62 Girls Outnumber
Boys By 66
The new enrollment count for 1962-63 shows that a record 2094 students are now enrolled in Lincoln High. This is an increase of 311 students over last year• s record total.
Good news (for the boys at least) is that there are 1019 boys and 1075 girls. sophomores add up to the grand total of 895 pupils
consisting of 433 boys and
462 girls. The junior class accounts for 744 students with boys numbering 366 and girls 378.
The seniors, the smallest class with 93 students less that last year• s class, total 455 with 220 boys and 235 girls.
New to the English Department this year are Miss Kathleen Anderson, Mrs. Ann Barry, Mrs. Maxine Faust, Miss Angela Long, and Miss Catherine Masters.
Miss Anderson's first impression of Lincoln High was "excellent! 11 A graduate of tl1P. University of Nebraska, she majored in speech and drama. Her extracurricular activities for this year will include Mummerssponsorship.
Mrs. Barry is advisor for the 1963 Links Board. An LHS graduate, she served as business manager on the Links Board while attending LHS and was valdictorian of her graduating class.
She was on the Cornhusker staff while. at the University of Nebraska. In her spare time she enjoys boating and water skiing.
The all-school-play director for this year is Mrs. Faust. She is a Drake University graduate. In her ownwords Mrs. Faust feels that Lincoln High, the staff, and the students are "just tremendous. 11
Fo.-rner LIJS graduate, Miss Long will sponsor Writers Club and Scribe Board.
She majored in English and minored in social studies at the university.
Her first impression of LHS is the extreme friendliness of the students and their loyalty toward the school.
Miss Masters is a graduate of the UniversityofNebraska and minored in French and English. Lincoln High is much larger than the high school she attended and she considers the stairs a challenge. She will help sponsor Peppers this year.
Two new teachers have been added to the History Department at Lincoln High. They are Miss Judith Farris, and Mr. William story.
Miss Farris, a graduate of the University of Nebraska., majored in history and minored in English and French.
She is teaching American and World history at LHS and is assistant sponsor of the Student Council. A former graduate of Lincoln High, she declares ''it hasn't changed much! 11 (cont• d p, 3)
No Pe11nilsNeeded for StudentParlcing
For the second year no permits will be required for the three student parking lots adjacent to the school. The reason is that parking practices have greatly improved over the last few years according to office clerk, Mrs. Alice Hibbert, who issues the parking permits.
IT CANHAPPENAGAIN
"However, if student parking should become a major problem, permits and restrictions again will be im-
posed, 11 she emphasizes. 11The worst problem now conf'ronting the office is that some students are parking in wrong lanes and are not parking straight, thus using up more than the alloted space. Another problem arises when students park in the faculty lot. II 11If the student body will crack down on these irregularities, restrictions on parking will not be necessary and parking will be much simpler and easier,'' she believes.

Lessons In Ii ·
As it is the beginning of a new schoo1 year this is a good time to examine the countless opportunities Lincoln High Schoo1 has to offer.
Over and above the excellent academic program Lincoln High offers to every individual, attendance at this school may well prove to be an education in living.
LHShas always been a true example of America's great melting pot of cultures. Here youth from every race, religion, creed, and financial status may be found. Here the white works side-by-side with the Negro, the Christian side-by-side with the Jew, with no friction.
At Lincoln High, students learn by daily practice that brotherhood can rea1ly exist, not just in beautiful words written by our founding fathers, but through actual application.
Lincoln High has much to teach the world. Here problems such as racial prejudice, reliaious intolerance, and cold-war threats are approached with a truly democratic attitude.
LHS\ You have gone through much these many years. Youhave passed the greatest test time can administer. You have given every individual who passed through your doors an opportunity to leave his imprint on LHS and in turn to be influenced by your fine tradition.
LincolnHighSchoo1 students, present, and future, have much to gain from attendance at this school.

11To make this a year I' 11 remember as one of much accomplishment and good fun, 11is the senior goal of Bob Vogel.
His extracurricular activities include student Council, Choir, L Club, varsit'y football, weightlifting,and track. Reading, watching television, and making noise with his guitar are Bob's favorite pastimes.
"Persons who waste their health, money and reputation by bad habits" is his pet peeve. Bob, who is in the Enggineering curriculum, plans to attend college where he will study architecture.
The senior goal of Murray Johnson is to see the Lincoln High gymnastics team take the state championship. This ambition is understandable as he is very active in this sport.
However, this participation does not limit his many diversified activities. He is also a member of the Boys Octet and the student Council.
"People who think that Murray is a girl's name and are surprised to learn that it isn't" is his pet peeve.
Being11removed11 from a certain class for making a wise crack (he mistakenly thought the teacher was joking!) is his most embarrassing moment.
"Murky's" future plans are not definite, but he would like to study Forestry.

Being chosen for Octet and being elected to the Student Council are the most memorable high school experiences of Dianne Haas.
WhenDianne is not participating in Mummers,Orpheons, Peppers, and the DowntownAdvisory Board, she finds time to sew, listen to the radio, and read.
"The long lunch line" is her pet peeve. "Hey, you guys II and "oh, how funny" are her favorite expressions. Diane, who is in the Arts and Science curriculum, plans to attend Valparaiso University in Indiana.

Is Lincoln High going to the dogs? Mick, a beagle owned by Dr. Paul Goetowski, apparently thinks so.
One morning recently Mick trotted through the front door, sought out Mr. William Pfeiff' s office, and padded in to bark his registration. But Mick, recognizing the
assistant principal as an old friend from Irving, forgot about registration in his joy at seeing Mr. Pfeiff. Mick didn't get to register but he did get his picture taken and a ride home instead of that ooh-so-long walk for such short 1 egs. That's OK, Mick, try again next year!

Mr. Hale says he expects a good turnout for the team, and once th~ squad gets started he wiil 11dive right into research.'' He plans to debate any school that invites the team to do so.
As Mr. Hale puts it, ''Debate is a self-limiting activity. In other words it requires a lot of work in research. You can't be lazy and still make the squad. 11
Anyone is welcome to come out for the team and weekly meetings will be held after school. There will be as many as four or five teams, each consisting of two members."
''If you like to argue, here's a "sport'' that requires a way with words, and lets you be as vocal as you want, 11 he concludes .

Keys To Future
Looking over the Ii st of honor students for last semester brings to mind the importance of a good high school scholarship and citizenship record.
This importance certainly pertains not alone to the college-bound student. No matter what road one may choose after graduation, th e permanent high school record will be a constant source of reference.
The employer who might be considering one for a position wants to know what kind of grades the applicant received and a 1so his record of dependab i 1 i ty.
The college to which one might be applying for acceptance is much interested in both scholastic and extra-curricular accomplishments.
Some college-bound students may feel that high school is of minor importance and that college is the place to buckle down. It is a proven fact that those who succeed in high school are more likely to succeed in college. In fact, students can not even be considered for social organizations if they do not rank fairly high in their high school graduating class.
Many students who seek ernpI oyment directly after graduation, find they are lacking basic skills which they are expected to have received in l1igh school.
The high school years are the most important years in a youth's 1 ife and should not be taken 1 ightly. Every success and failure should be considered as a meaningful experience for the formation of the future.

11To prepare myself for the years to come and to make lasting friends" is the senior goal of Deanna Huber.
"Dee" is president of Ir.ternational Club, and participates in Madrigal and Peppers. She is the Aqualinks make-up lady, and is chairman of costumes for the all-school play.
Dee's most embarrassing experience was before her first ball when she thanked her date for a corsage of roses which turned out to be camellias!
The spirit and enthusiasm of the students in all of Lincoln High' s activities is what interests her most about LHS.
She is in the Arts and Science curriculum and hopes to attend Doane or Wesleyan college.
Participation in Mummers, Orpheons, Peppers, Girls Octet, Joy Night, 1962 AllSchool Play, and senior choir makes Diane Weimer a very busy girl.
Diane's favorite pastime is listeuing to the intellectual discussions between Dennis Trippel and Miss Strasheim in Russii.an class.
Being chosen for Girls Octet is, her most memorable experience. The variety mf classes offered at LHS interests her most . Russian and psychology are her favorite courses.
"Funniest thing" and 110h, ugly--ugly" are her favorite expressions. "People who pronounce my name wrong" passes as her pet peeve.
Diane plans to attend the University of Nebraska. To make National Honor Society is her senior goal.
Bryan McCarty's most memorable experience was getting a call slip in his sophomore year telling him he had been sel€cted for a part in the all-school-play.
Twirlers Step With Pride, VerveAnd The Sand Plays On
If the phrase, 11It' s what' s up front that counts" means anything, the Lincoln High School Band has 11it 11-three talented young ladies. The trio consists of Paula Adams, Vivian Larsen, and l the Drum-Majorette, Virginia
the group uses. The third member of the trio is Virginia Faris, the Drum Majorette. She has had experience at leading a band in Beatrice.

These girls are the 1962 Twirlers, an important asset to the marching band. In previous years the group has usually numbered six or more. However, this year• s baton artists strive for quality rather than quantity.
FANSIMPRESSED
Fans who attended the dedication ceremonies at Seacrest Field, probably were impressed by tbe leading role that the Lincoln High Band and the Twirlers played in the festivities.
Paula Adams, who has been taking lessons from Joyce Burns, the Cornhusker Golden Girl, designed the new costumes. Paula and Vivian Larsen created the routine
Quotable Quiz
When several Lincoln High students were asked what they would do with a Podoscaph if someone gave them one, they gave these answers:
Ron Taylor: Use it to write poetry. Vic Kuklin: Hang it on the goal post at Benson High.
LeRoy coolie: Give it to my girl friend. Mike McGrew: Take a picture of it.
Kenneth Rathjen: Give it to Mr. Young.
Roger Bantz: Kill it. Joyce Wyman: Take it to school with me.
Bill Kling: Lead it on a string around the block.

The bathtub was invented in 1850 and the telephone in 1875. Had you been living in 1850, you could have sat in the bathtub for 25 years without the phone ringing once!
As an example of the Twirlers ability, they incorporated such popular dances as the "mashed potatoes", the "twist", and the "continental" into the band's half-time show at the Lincoln High-Omaha North foot bal 1 game.

11In keeping with the national trend of extending health instruction to more days per week, health education in Lincoln High is now being conducted on a threeday-per-week basis, 11 reports Mr. Carl Manthey, health education instructor.
The extra session is being used to present more material and to make it possible for classes to hear addi'tional speakers and to see a greate r selection of heal th films.

Plan for Future
One of the most important tasks for any high school student is to conscientiously plan his school program. This is not difficult at Lincoln High which has many wonderfu 1 courses to offer its students.
When planning the high school program, one should first decide wh~t his future goals are to be. Once this has been established it is relatively easy to plan for it.
There are many specialized curriculums from which to choose. The girl who plans to go to business school may choose from a very complete clerical curriculum, while the future homemakermight stress homemaking in her high school plans.
For both the girl and the boy who plan on college after graduation, College Preparatory or Arts and Sciences is necessary.
Boys who will engage in more specialized fields such as engineering or the sciences should anticipate the requirementsofthese fields. Lincoln High is known for its fine Trades Preparatory which gives any boy interested in this field a splendid background.
Occasionally during the senior year, students who plan to go on either to business school, trade school, or college find they are lacking courses which are needed to secure admittance to those colleges. There are even a few students who cannot fulfill requirements for high school graduation. Such inconveniences as last minute summer school or being detained another year in high school might have been avoided if the student had more thoughtfully planned his courses.
A high sci10ol career should be planned with a specific goal inmind, Just ·taking the ''snap'' courses or maybe the courses a friend is taking can lead only to trouble.
The purpose of high school is to prepare one of later 1 ife. Help it fulfill this function.
Your Obligation
As National Education Week approaches, it brings to mind tl1e true pr1v1 lege 1t 1s to be able to participate in the wonderful educational advantages America has to offer.
In many countries only the chosen few may participate in advanced education. Here, everyone has an equal opportunity-thus a better chance for a happier and a more successful future.
We, as students, are obi igated, not only for our own well-being but for the strength of our country to use these privileges, exerting every effort to prepare our selves for the role which we must eventually play.
Let us re-examine this tremendous opportunity given to the youth of America and reaffirm our determination to take full advantage of it.

October 31, Spooks, Witches, Ghouls Stalk the Earth
If you' re very superstitious, better lock your doors and crawl under the covers on Halloween, October 31, the eve of All-Saints Day. With the coming of autumn, the Druids, an old religious sect, worshipped and made sacrifices to Domona, the God of Harvest. Pumpkins and cornstalks were part of 'Samhair' or Summer's End.
Another belief was that witches mounted their broomsticks and went to the Great Sabbath to hold unholy revels with the Prince of Darkness.
ORIGINOF JACK-0-LANTERN
An old Irish legend is the background of the Jack-0-Lantern. It was said a man named Jack, because of his stinginess, could not enter Heaven. The jokes he played on the Devil kept him from
entering Hell. As punishment, he was ·sentenced to walk the earth with a lantern until Judgment Day.
Other rites were the sacrifices of horses, cats, and humans (usually criminals). This was accomplished by putting them in cages and burning them alive.
TRADITIONFROMELVES
Ancient beliefs carry over to today's modern world.
The games and tricks of present-day Halloween tradition stem from the fact that elves and goblins reputedly played tricks on people. Whatever the source of Halloween superstition, what adult or child would take a walk throuih the graveyard on October 31, at 12 p.m.?

orld-Traveler Called
June, 1959, began a series of exciting trips and tours for Lincoln High junior Lynn Hamilton.
Lynn, whose father is a colonel at Lincoln Air Force Base, recently moved to Lincoln from Baghdad, Iraq, • where Col. Hamilton served as military attache from the U.S. for two and a half years.
FromWashington D. C. , their point of departure, Lynn and her family went on a 21-day Mediterranean cruise before going to Baghdad.
SEES BASQUEPEOPLE
While on this tour, she visited Cadiz and Barcelona, Spain, and Monsarrat where she was able to see the famous Basque people of the Pyrenees Mountains area.
From Spain she went to France, touring Marseilles and the Riviera, and on to Italy.
In Italy, Lynn traveled the world-famous Amalfi drive along the island of Sorento, to Pompeii.
The final stop before reaching Baghdad was a sightseeing tour of the ancient city ruins of Balkbek and Byblos in Beirut, Lebanon.
On entering the city of Baghdad, Lynn was amazed at the number of people ''walking down the street in what looked like pajamas,'' but which turned out to be the Iraqi natjve dress.
Lynn found camels, dogs, sheep, donkeys, and chickens
co.
LYNN roaming the streets and the nomad people still living primitively throughout the city.
She says that the weather is very dry in Baghdad, with rain falling only three or four times a year. The temperatures range from 135° in the summer to no cooler than 40° in the winter.
MANSION-SERVANTS
Lynn 1 i ved in an Iraqi mansion, which she called a 11big h " ouse because of the numerous rooms with their 20foot ceilings, and marble floors. The household staff included six servants. While she went to school in Baghdad the first year she was there, her associates and friends were mostly European and Arabian teen-agers.
Lynn has traveled in Italy, Greece, Germany, England, Turkey, Spain, Iraq, and the United States, eight countries in all, making her life somewhat more eventful and exciting than the average teen-ager.

Torrential rains that threatened to flood Seacrest Field, caused spectators to seek shelter, and necessitated the cancellation of the between-halves Homecoming program, could not stop a determined Link football squad from savoring the sweet taste of victory.

The Lincoln High Reserve football squad ran (and pas· sed) all over the junior Rockets 28-13, in a game played in the Oval on a wet field, Wednesday afternoon.
The Links scoring started in the first period on a 15yard run by Larry Edwards. A ,Bill Riley-Dave LaDuke passing combo added the extra point. Gayland Hodges hit pay dirt on a 7-yard jaunt. Beechner' s run was good for the PAT. Idle in the 3rd stanza, the junior Links scored twice in the final period. Bill Ri1 ey figured in both of the

A hard-hitting defensive line led the Lincoln High Reserves to give a 19-6 trouncing to the Lincoln Southeast Reserves.
Stopping the Knight ball-· carriers with many jarring tackles were Robbie 'Wayne' Wallis, Doug Hardin, and Jim Lawson.
Larry Edwards streaked 30 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter and followed that with a 3 yard burst to paydirt in the fourth quarter. He al so snared an aerial from sophomore Sam Beechner for an extra point.

Rohrig proved to be the Links greatest menace, by kicking two extra points, which proved to be the difference. The Links scored early in the game, with a blocked punt giving them the ball on the 11-yard line. Lee Wagner snared a pass from Dave Hollibaugh for the TD.

TOMORROW'S LEADER
With the world situation as it is these tense times, it is sobering to note that in not too many years, a new generation will have to face the countless problems every nation continually confronts. Are the youth of today qualified to take over the "reins"?
The 1eader of tomorrow must ~e even more capable and have a more rounded background than those of today. The world is forever moving faster, and anyone who does not keep up will surely be left behind.
One of the most important assetti of a future leader is that he understands current problems. Every youth must keep abreast of current events and have an understanding of their significance.
Another virtue for a future leader is tolerance. A leader must deal with people, with different cultures and ideals; the person whocan accept di fferent ideas is essential in helping to keep the peace.
Today's youth did not puttheworld in the situation it is now in but neither did their predecessors choose the world they inherited.
Each generation works in the time in which it lives (and with the material available) to carry on the great work of keeping the peace.
Wi11 the youth of today be qualified to be the leaders of tomorrow?
Desire For Peace
Today, as the world rushes on, with war and tension seeming to lurk around every corner, we sometimes wonder if there is any hope left for peace.
Th~re is st i 11 hope and good reason for 1t. The reason-- people working togethe~ fora commongoal--trying to get the1 r fel I ow men to Ii ve and work side by side as brothers.
This was the impression made on Dee Huber and me three weeks ago, as we attended a United Nations-Washington Seminar.
In the UNwewere to Id how--though to most people it is unknown--16 000 of its 18,000 workers throughout' the world are working for. the advancement of unfortunate people. We learned that 85 per cent of the UN funds are channeled in the direction of helping peop 1e.
One can't imagine how inspiring it 1~ to hear personsofmany nationalit~es and religions presenting their views on the world situation and on the necessity for disarmament and world peace. In each of these talks a note of sincerity touched everyone I i s ten in g.
We heard, of course, views different from the ones we hold.
In New York we visited the Rumanian Mission where one idea presented by the speaker was that, in a way " h UN ' t e doesn't represent the idea of world unity because mill ions of people aren't represented. This does not show international ism," he stressed.
We also heard American speakers. Exemplifying these were a member of the Quaker group at the UN in New York, a member of the State Department staff, and one from the Pentagon in Washington.
A visit to a session of the General Assembly was on our agenda, along with one to the Security Council, If all people could have an opportunity as we did to see the progress being made toward peace today, they would be heartened. It is most encouraging and enlightening to see the nations of the world working together toward a commongoal--peaceful co-existence.

In the past there has been a distinction between what is called "men's work" and11women' s work. "Most teens of today have different ideas on the subject. Boys do housework, girls wash the car and rake leaves. If their help is needed and expected at home they do the assigned chore, no matter what it is.
When a poll was taken by Advocate staff members on exactly what students do to help around the house and how they feel about their varied duties, they commented:
Sharon Olson: I get acertain satisfaction from helping my parents; I like the feeling of being needed. I wash the car, rake leaves, shovel snow, or paint the fence when my father doesn't have time.
·
Dick Burch: I clean the house ( from washing dishes to scrubbing floors), make the beds, cook ( every other night). wash and iron, besides doing yard work. I feel that because my father takes care of me and works all day I should do all I can to help.
Beth Brammel: Home chores are things parents normally expect you to do without being asked, such as keeping your room clean, helping to cook the meals, and giving a hand with the yard work. I have to wash the car and I don' t mind, but I don' t think I would like to do men's work all the time.
Mickey Zangari: I dry dishes every night, empty the trash, keep the lawn cut and
DICKBURCH
cleaned up, shovel snow, keep my room clean, and keep the basement clean, I think I should do these chores because my family takes care of me. I don't like it, but it's my responsibility.
Susan Neitzel: I have chores to do at home, like cleaning and washing dishes and I often wash the car. I feel I have an obligation to help my mother out, she has a lot of her own work to do.
Other students had different ideas and comments on doing home chores.
Chris Lougee: I empty the garbage, keep my room clean, take care of my dog, cut the lawn, shovel snow, and babysit for my parents. I think it' s all a waste of time, but if the fellas should come in while I was working, I would not be embarrassed, because everybody has to do it.
Jennie Wilson: I feel there is a distinction between men's work and women's work, but if a womanworks outside the home, then the men in her family should help with the housework.
One girl stated, ''Around our house, there is no such thing as a man's or woman's work. We all just work together."
The sharp differentiation between duties of men and of women is growing less and less with each generation. In the future, both sexes may work together in harmony, helping each other without regard to whether the job is mans' work or womans'.

110h I'm late for the Putter Party!" This statement may be heard frequently at Lincoln High on TUesday and Wednesday afternoons when many members of the LHS faculty head for the art rooms to work on their projects.
The new faculty art courses offered to teachers and their families are under the supervision of Mrs. Shirley Martin and Mr. Allen Kirtley.

Mr. Harry Kuklin is planning a large hourglass. He has spent many hours working on the lathe turning the four large poles which will support the glass. Mrs. Kuklin is satisfying her artistic urge by working with clay. She is presently working on a sculpture.
Another example of family activity is the antique furniture refinishing ~roject Mr. and Mrs. Windle Reel are presently working on. Besides helping Mr. Reel with the refinishing, Mrs. Reel and their daughter, Tina, are making needlepoint upholstery for the valuable pieces.
Mrs. Ruth Schwarz is dressing up her bowling ball with a new bowling bag.

Thanksgiving, 1962
Hey you!! You over there thinking about a big luscious turkey and the Texas-Texas A&Mfootball game. Get out of your rut for a minute and be thankful about something. Remember, this is the thanksgiving season.
By the way, what are you giving thanks for? Do you think you're giving thanks for that huge turkey and the chance you'll have to relax all afternoon watching Texas beat Texas A&M?Well, you're right! You are one of the few lucky people of the world who will have the chance to relax, eat, and do whatever he wants to on Thanksgiving afternoon.
Thanks to our ancestors who made a nation out of a chunk of land, November 22 will not be just another day. To many of the people in the world November 22 will be a day of hunger, a day of cold, a day of normal incidents. To Americans, November 22 will be a day to sit back and enjoy life. On th is day of plenty, most of us will have much to be thankful for~friends, a home, food, and most of all, the freedom given to us 186 years ago.
Some people think there is little to be thankful for, yet if everything we take for granted were lost, we would realize how much we should be grateful for. But is being grateful enough? Can you be sure that next year there will be a Thanksgiving?
This is the time of year when Americans traditionally observe a day of thanksgiving for their blessings. It is also the time of year when we should be mindful of our heritage and the responsibilities it imposes on us.
The price paid by the Pilgrims and the colonists may have to be paid again. Do we have the pride to stand up for what we believe! Do we have the patience and faith to resolve that in time all men will be free? And last, but not least, do we have the courage to defend our freedom?

Three basic colors, pink, magenta, and lavender will be used for all flats (scenery and backdrops) in the 1962 Mummersplay, Pygmalion.
This production is scheduled for the Lincoln High School Auditorium, November 301 at 8:00 p.m.
1The pink and magenta represent the basic anger and frustration theme with which the play deals and the pink and lavender are used to indicate the lighter, happier settings.
"This type of stage setting is completely new to Lincoln High," says Miss Kay Anderson, MummersPlay director. Pygmalion tells the story of a flower girl, played by Cindy Hardin, who is changed into a beautiful young lady of high society by a phonetics expert, pla yed by Vic Lacy.
The trials and tribulations of changing this poor homely woman into a beautiful lady brings about an interesting play.

Pilgrim's Progress 'Where, Oh Where' You Ask?
"Down to the Plymouth Roe:~, that had been to their feet as a doorstep. Try,Try Again-in Room 138 Into a world unknown,--the cornerstone of a nation!"
Longfellow, The Courtship of Miles Standish
Have you ever considered yourself a Pilgrim? Like the passengers of the Mayflower, each of us is searching for something.
This continuing quest is why America has never stood still, why she has always moved forward, searching for someth i ng--someth i ng better. This constructive restlessness is typical of America and reflects us as individuals. Being satisfied to tolerate events or situations that are disturbing make for a weak person, as well as for a weak country.
Each one of us should try to better the world, try to make it a place where everyone, no matter the race, religion or creed, is equal in the eyes of the law. Everyone should strive to make sure that a small child does not goto bed hungry, that an old man is not left to suffer without relief.

Are you a hapless LHS student who is missing a book, or something even more valuable such as a watch?
Maybe you aren't but someone surely is, as indicated by the variety of articles turned in to the lost-andfound department, located in the book room.
CARELESSNESS?
Mrs. Pearl Caddy, in charge of the book room and the lost and found department, expressed her concern for the many unclaimed articles. She believes a student is very careless if he does not try
to recover a missing article, especially if it is something of value.
Along with the usual misplaced objects, like books, which are piled to the raft n d d · · ers, an are ri v1ng me to distraction,'' asserts Mrs. Caddy, there are a few unusual articles out of circulatiom.
Such improbable oddities as one shoe, one glove, one sock, jewelry (including watches, bracelets), and even pairs of glasses, accumulate and remain unclaimed.
OHS!Y CANYOUSEE?
Mrs. Caddy says that some • • pairs of glasses which were
L,zard-1,lce
Creatures turned in as 1ong ago as the Invade Biology Room fi.rst of .the sc~oo1 year .,· still remain unclaimed.
Five small animals with sprawling legs, long tails, and smooth spotted skins have • found a home in Room 401, Mrs. Gladys Temple's biology room. These lizard-like monsters are known as salamanders.
FISH FIRST
Spotted salamanders have a peculiar life history. During early spring they are hatched in ponds. In their early form of life, or larva period, salamanders live in these ponds and breathe with external gills. In about two months they reach the adult stage. Now the creatures develop lungs and become land animals. In fact, adult salamanders would drownif thrown back into the pond.
FLAMERESISTANT?
In old legends the salamander, which has a cool and moist skin, was thought to have the ability to pass through flame unharmed. Even today the name salamander is applied to objects that are able to withstand heat, such as firebrick and fireproof safes. k.
Mrs. Temple is ma ing a warm winter home for these members of the amphibian family by putting. sand, dirt, and plants in an aquarium. Their diet is usually made up of worms and snails; since these tidbits are not available, they will be fed bits of hamburger.
Students are urged to keep inquiring about a.rticles that have been lost. Often they turn up at a later date.

If you hear someone commenting 11I s that right!'' most likely it's Dennis Trippel. Dennis, who is a member of L Club, student Council, and the All-School Lounge and Patio Committee, has lettered in Varsity football and baseball.
"To get all the good free education I can before I have to start paying for it," is Dennis' senior goal. His pet peeve is people who keep insisting that he has brains.
11Bones11 plans to make the armed services his career. He is now taking tests for a ppssible appointment to West Point or to the U.S. Air Force Academy.
Dennis urges Lincoln High students to 11come out strong for the winter athletic seasons! Let's also keep our lounge clean and respect the encircled L. 11
Our next Thumbnailer is Andy Taube. Andy is in the Arts and Science curriculum and is considering pre-med at the University of Nebraska or another university.
Extracurricular activities include Student Council, Lincoln Journal correspondent, Intra-city Student Council, Teenage Project, and swimming.
Andy'smost embarrassing momentwas when he ran his car onto a log in the student parking lot while watching a girl (what else?).
His favorite subjects are physiology, and literature courses and his favorite pastime is plunking on his guitar.
Andy thinks the manner in which the Lincoln High faculty treats the seniors as independent young adults is what he admires most at LHS.
Sue Gentry feels that her most memorable moments were when she was chosen for Aqualinks and when she was elected vice-president of Peppers. Her other activities include Future Secretaries and Assembly Committee.

Her favorite pastime is 11just getting with a bunch of kids and having fun!"
11I urge all sophomores and juniors to join all the activities they can. This is a part of high school, so enjoy it! 11

Kathy, who is in the Arts and Science curriculum, lists Mr. Scott's history class and Miss Strasheim' s Russian class as favorites. She plans to become a teacher and thinks it would be interesting to come back to Lincoln High to teach.
Mummers, Mummersplay crew, and Peppers are included in her activities this year, and "to make National Honor Society" is her senior goal.

COUNCIL CORNER
Cindy Hardin, Lincoln High junior, was elected vice-president of the Nebraska Association of Student Councils on November 9, at the State Convention held at Lincoln Southeast. Congratulations to her and to all new officers. We know they will do a fine job.
Special thanks go to Judy Kotil, who worked hard preparing Cindy's campaign by designing campaign cards and a large poster.
"Youth Leaders Today, World Leaders Tomorrow"was the convention theme. The Honorable Ray Cunningham of Ames, Iowa, was the featured speaker. Governor Frank Morrison and Mayor Pat Boyles also addressed the delegates.
Discussion groups were held to talk about various council problems. Andy Taube and Bob Vogel served as the discussion leaders from LHS.
We certainly hope next year's convention, to be hosted by Scottsbluff, will be as full of new ideas, friends, and fun as was this year's convention.
Journalists Win NHSPA Awards
Two Advocate staff members, Cheryl Mooney and Ray Pyle, received awards at the Nebraska High School Press Association convention held at the University of Nebraska ' November 9 and 10. Ray received a superior rating in the journalistic terms category, and Cheryl was rated excellent in the newswriting contest.
Teachers Confer

While most kids were washing the car, reading, or just sleeping (because it was Saturday), two LHS faculty members were attending all·· day conferences.
Miss Dorcas Weatherby, assistant principal, attended the Nebraska Deans of Women Conference at the Nebraska Center, November 10.
At the same time and place Miss Helen Jo Miller, physical education teacher, was attend~ng the State Physical Education and Health Convention.

The story was written long ago: . \ '(
And it came to pass in those days, that there wept out a ~ecree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child ·
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying 1n a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and · saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
LUKE 2:1-14
These words will forever be emblazoned in the hearts of men who believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ and profess only good will and brotherly love toward all mankind.

The Meaning of Christmas
"Howmany observe Christ's Birthday; how few his Precepts! O! 'tis easier to keep Holidays than Commandments." Benjamin Frankl in
And how true this quotation is! In this age of hustle and bustle and rushing around, how manyof us real Jy take time to consider that it is a birthday we are celebrating--the birthday of the Christ Child.
In this era of commercialization, too ~any children are brought up beI ieving Christmas is made up of Santa Claus, toys, beautiful decorations, wonderful food, and Christmas cards.
Even the carols go unheard in the din of rushing around. Children pay I ittle attention to the significance of the words. As for that matter, do we, as we grow older, wiser, and find there is no Sants Claus, consider the words of the carols?
Whenwe hear the words "Joy to the world!" "Oh come al I ye faithful," and ''Hark the herald angels sing,'' do we realize wnat these songs are proclaiming?
Tne celebration honoring the advent of His birth is a time for rejoicing and merriment, but it is also a time for solemn thought.
During these days before Christmas, while you're doing last minute shopping and going to parties, stop once in a while and remember just what it is you are celebrating--and rejo1ce!

er istletoe, Gi ts; Old Christmas Customs
The giving of gifts has become a part of the actual Christmas celebration. It isn't hard to understand, since people are filled with an abundance of good will on Christ's birthday.
In Germany it was the custom to give bundles of presents, containing good things to eat, toys, useful articles, and rods to teach the children discipline.
COMBINATION OF CUSTOMS
The exchanging of gifts in this country is a combination of two old European customs.
The first was the presentgiving of St. Nicholas, who filled childrens' stockings with gifts of minor size and value on the eve of his feast day, December 6th. The s'econd custom was that of the presents which the children believed the Child Jesus brought on December 25.
In most European countries, the gift-bringer is the Child Jesus. He is believed to come with angels during the night, trim the tree, and distribute the gifts.
ST. NICHOLASTO SANTACLAUS
When German immigration to the eastern cities of the United States increased, the Christ child of the immigrants was adopted in the form of Kris Kringle, or Santa Claus, by their fellow countrymen.
MISTLETOEANOTHERCUSTOM
The mistletoe, originally a symbol of sacred ceremonies, is today associated with the gay side of Christmas. Mistletoe, whicb grows parasitically on various trees, was called an incorruptible spirit plant by the Druids because its roots never touched the earth. A golden sickle was used to cut the plant and a white sheet caught it so it would never touch the ground. It was hung high to remain clean and to maintain its symbol of purity and peace.
PAGANBEGINNING
The gathering of mistletoe was a religious rite to the Druids of ancient Britain. Scandinavians so revered and cherished it that if enemies met beneath it in the forest, they disarmed and kept t.l1e truce until the next day. From the old custom of hanging it for cleanliness, purity and peace, came the practice of hanging it as a token of good will and peace to all comers. A kiss under ttle mistletoe meant a pledge of love and a promise of marriage. At the same time, it was an omen of happiness, good fortune, fertility, and long life to those who sealed and made known their engagement beneath the sacred plant.
RELIGIOUSSIGNIFICANCE
The mistletoe came to be a traditional part of Christmas whena large bundle of it was brought into a sanctuary at Christmas time. The DruidE, hrtd called it 11All-heal 11 but in this event it symt,olized Christ, the Divine Healer. People then made it a part of their homes at Christmas time, first as a symbol of Christ, and as time went on, a token of good will and cheer.

Getting into the spirit of Christmas at LHS includes decorating a tree for the lounge, report Thumbnailers Wayne Rasmussen, Mickey Zangari, Lynn Torgler, and Connie Oetjen.
Lynn To.rgler, our first Thumbnailer, states t II that her pe peeves are people who call her Lynnipuss ( ?) and sitting through a football game in the rain. 11
Lynnipus.s' s (oops!) most embarrassing moment was stopping a teacher in the hall and telling her she could not go through a closed corridor. (She didn't know she was a teacher.)
Her extracurricular activities include Peppers, FTC,Mummers,and Red Cross Council. Lynn is in the Arts and Science Curriculum and plans to attend the Kansas State College at Pittsburg, Kansas, to become a teacher and speech therapist.
Mickey Zangari, tagged "camel-driver," spends most of his spare time listening to good music, reading, going to the drive-in, and just loafing around.
"Getting the most out of my senior year and trying to help LHS win some baseball games this year, 11 is his senior goal.
Mickey, who is in t he Arts and Science Curriculum, plans to study la1v at the University of Nebraska next year. HiF favorite subjects include debate and International Relations.
Mick's most embarrassing moment was when he passed Alex Walter on the base lines during a game with Southeast, while his most memorable experience was when LHS beat Omaha Tech in baseball last year.
Mickey likes the friendliness of the people and the good organization of the clubs at Lincoln High.
Such quips as "get serious II and "you' re kiddin' me" are common expressions with Mickey.
Mick leaves us with these inspiring words "It is better to be a rich cat than a poo~ dog. II (????)
"when I was dancing in the rain after a party, 11 was the most embarrassing experience of our next Thumbnailer, Wayne Rasmussen.
Wayne passes the time swimming and singing which are good reasons for his being on the swim team and in choir. His pet peeve is 11people who say that I'm their pet peeve! 11 "Thanks much" and "purt ne' r" rate as his favorite expressions.
Wayne will long remember being a National Merit Semi-Finalist. To get a scholarship and to be in National Honor Society is his senior goal.
He considers chemistry and senior comp. as his favorite subjects.
Wayne is in the Arts and Science and Engineering Curriculums and plans to attend the University of Nebraska.
His parting remark was that he always ''thought Thumbnails were for covering the end of the thumb. 11
The most memorable experience of Thumbnailer Connie Oetjen was being chosen as a member of Girls Octet.
"conk" is in the Arts and Science curriculum and plans to attend the University of Nebraska.
Running out of breath while holding a high note and coming back in on the wrong note while singing at an outside Octet appearance rates as her most embarrassing moment.
Her pastimes are singing, dancing, and ''just having a good time with a bunch of f d II r1en s.
To get a 111 11 on her senior theme and to make the honor roll are her senior goals.

'Twas the night before Christmas And we were writing this column. Our jokes were all stale And our faces were solemn.
We worked the night through And we saw ol' St. Nick He said, "A good Static Would be quite a trick."
We took his advice And put Static to bed To dream of good jokes Which we've never had.
We vowed to retire And quit with this thought-Though our jokes are all corny Our poems not too hot, Merry Christmas to all And to all a good 'Nacht' !
'Hands Across the Heath' Puppets Do l\ing Lear
Puppets anyone? For Mrs. Maxine Faust's fourth period English Literature class, the answer is yes. The class has planned to illustrate i· several scenes in Shakespeare' s, King Lear, with puppets.
The puppets are made of paper mache, sawdust, and wallpaper paste. Helen Harrel, Linda Hayes, and Elizabeth Van Sickle fashioned the puppets and costumes.
The stage, with its blue and gold background, was constructed by John Hersberger, Sandy Leitch, Tom Martin, and Elizabeth Van Sickle.
Voices for the puppets will be provided by Nancy Howland, Donna Maria Jones, Chuck Kant, Andis Kaulins, Curt Kuster, Mike Schafer, and Pam Schmidt.
Tatiana Bode, Diane Bohner, and Connie Vohnout will supply movement for the puppets.
Announcing the production will be Gary Whitson.
Student Investors Stockholders
Tycoons and important stockholders at Lincoln High? No, just membersof the 11LHS Student Investment Syndicate."
The Investment Syndicate is a club (duplicated only by one at Lincoln Southeast ) whose main purpose is not to make money, but rather to teach by experience the work of the financial world. It is made up of the period six economics class taught by Mr. Ricnard lHi edmer, · Ll!e sponsur of the club.
After studying several stor,k companies and conferring with their stock broker, Mr. Cornell Arendt from the First Nebraska Securities Inc. , the club members decided to buy one share of commonstock in the Champlin Oil & Refining Co.
Since they bought it in October, at $27. 90\.2,it dropped during the Cuban crisis but has come up to about its original price.
The club will meet after the first semester ends to decide whether to sell or to keep the stock for the year.
"In either case, the experience gained will be invaluable to class members," commented Mr. Beechner.

These are but a few of the numerous accomplishments and failures of our nation, but sne certainly wi 11 not be content with these many shortcomings. Sne wi 11 try harder to put them in next years success column.
This is a good lesson for everyone of us. We must never be satisfied to accept our failures by mumbling "I tried" or "So wnat?" We must keep an open mind and an eye on the future.
It is really quite unnecessary to write a long list of :lew Years resolutions. There is one resolution which will take careofall the rest. Resolve not to be so easily satisfied with your ownaccomp1 i shments. Strive to make everything you undertake a success, but 11 if at first you don't succeed, try, try again."

Next Year-I Promise
Making resolutions at the beginning of each New Year is an old American custom. Solemn promises are made to friends, relatives, or to oneself to reform what is usually a bad habit. Whether these promises are carried out is another question. Here are some of the resolutions made by the students and faculty of Lincoln High as they were told to an Advocate reporter:
Jerry Martin ... to keep good hours.
Judy Kotil .... to get everything done that I am supposed to do.
Mickey Zangari .. not to make any more until I keep the ones I made last year.
Dennis Trippel .... to start dating more and to make permanent friends.
Molly Denton .... to stop knocking the muffler off the car.
Bob Starck not to run out cf money.
Dennis Gordon..... to keep up on my social ,standing.
Alex Walter to learn how to play basketball.
Dick Burch. to give up on girls.
Mr. Grosscup ... I resolve to be the same smiling, cheerful, self that I have been the past year. TomUmberger.. not to be so absentminded.
Sue Gentry ...... to help somebody not be so absent-minded.
Rich Schwabauer.. to study hard to achieve good grades (P. S. not really)
Larry Dudley to be a good boy. Ct.1eryl Long..... to make friends with the 1Play Pen Boys1
• Gil Arnold ..... to sincerely try to attend Teen Club every Saturday night.
Miss Dumpert.. to practice what I preach about getting as much work done on Monday as any other day of the week.
Dee Huber.. to find a way to figure out all my problems.
Janet Murfield to wear a pair of stockings all week without getting a run.
Holdin~ puppets to be used in the King Lear production are Elizabeth Van Sickle and Linda Hayes.
11The majority of young lished by society--courtesy, people are much more sincere honesty, and fair play. and serious than the average young person of my generation, 11 stated Mr. Frank B. Morrison, Governor of Nebraska, as he took time out from his busy schedule of state business to answer questions about the youth of today.
Leaning back in his chair he continued, 11I' m so old my associations with young people are not as intimate and intensive as I would like them to be. 11
Flxpanding on the subject of the younger generation, Gov. Morrison mentioned those points about th~ youth of today which he especially admires.
11When I think of a group of average teenagers, I think most highly of thEir sincerity; they don' t try to fool people, 11 assertld the Governor. 11Also, 'they have boundless enthusiasm, a policy of good sportsmaPship, and a sense of fair play. 11
The Governor does not picture all young people as 'good eggs.' Onthe contrary, he emphasized that the youth of today are interspersed all too often with more than a touch of juvenile delinquency. Asked his opinion as to the main cause of delinquency, he replied "insecurity and a lack of confidence. 11
"Most young people have the ability to acquire social recognition by socially acceptable means but others seek 'shortcuts' by non-acceptable methods. To combat these anti-social tendencies. such a person must be given a sense of recognition and a stimulation of his self-confidence. 11
11There are three general classes of people," said Gov. Morrison, "those wtw fight their environment, dislike others, and try to destroy the situation.
11The second group is that type which makes up the great masses of the population-those people who can adapt themselves to the things which they dislike. 11
CONSTRUCTIVECHANGE
11The third group is those people who are dissatisfied with some things; instead of destroying or adapting, they set out to change them. These people are seen throughout the world as the leaders." What is it that makes a young person either a leader or a destroyer of society? Gov. Morrison maintains that it depends on the age of the person.
11At a very early age, love and respect on the part of the parents are the two most important factors in determining the future of the individual. Later in life, a sense of security as well as a feeling of self importance are necessary in the building of a leader. 11
"Another building block in the life af the future leader is the ability to learn to live by those general principles which have been estab-
and Randolph
"Last and most important in the construction of the leader is a respect for the rights of others. 11
If a young person does get into difficulties, if he doesn't have a sense of fair play, a feeling of self-respect, then what? The Governor expressed his feelings thus, 11First, the child must go to someone in whomhe can confide, a person who can get to the base of his troubles. At this point·, the youngster must be helped in the rebuilding of his self-respect, his self-confidence. He should be helped, not scolded. 11
The Governor went on to say that the state's institutions are filled with young men and women who did ~ot get this help, and while it is still not too late, the task becomes more difficult as the age of the individual increases.
COLLECTIVEWEAKNESS
Whether good or bad, the youth of today, when viewed collectively, show certain general weaknesses. Meeting with young people all over the state, the Governor has noticed a lack of courtesy and politeness, especially between youths themselves. Also, he notes the lack of self-confidence, especially in young peoples' dealings with older people. He mentioned the fact that few teenagers assert their own opinions although at the same time they ret'use to respect the opinions of othe·rs. Too often the youth of today fail to determine the facts before giving opinions or accepting statements of others.
With all the various abilities, strengths, and finer points credited to this younger generation, there should obviously be some group which considers the youth of today a fine group of young people. There is such a group - the parents.
According to Gov. Morrison, the majority of older people think the younger generation is an improvement over their generation. He cautioned, however, that too many parents are "too proud of their children while others aren't proud enough. The first group spoils their children by over-indulgence, protectiveness, and 'running interference' for them while the other group is allowing their children to fend for themselves with little orno con-
Teen-Age
cern as to their well-being. Both types are equally bad and equally harmful to their children, 11 warned the Governor. Since most adults are just "grown-up kids, 11 the Governor, when queried as to whether or not he would like to be a kid again, reflected, "Each generation should live in a more interesting world because of the achievement of the previous generations. Also, each generation has certain advantages over their predecessors.
11I wouldn' t want to give up my wife, my family, and all that 1 have to start over again. Live your entire life with self-respect, self-confidence, respect for others, courtesy, and all the other fine points of life, and you shouldn't want to be a kid again. 11

Class Set-up
Have you heard? There are no more registration programs set up for next semester.
In years past, students would go to an assigned room to pick up the new program schedules. This procedure has been changed beginning this semester according to Miss Dorcas Weatherby, assistant principal.
"Each student who changes classes second semester will receive program changes indicating classes dropped and added.
11The pupil' s copy of such changes will be filed in the first-period class of the pupil's first-semester schedule," states Miss Weatherby.
"on Monday, January 28, each first-period teacher (according to first-semester schedule) will receive change slips for distribution to students in his first-semester first-period class.
11After ten minutes, students will be excused to follow new schedules. Since continuing classes do not necessitate a change-of-program slip, some students may not receive a slip. 11
Miss Weatherby emphasizes, "students who drop a continuing class must report to that class and sign out before going to a new class. 11 Sound confusing? It really won't be---just remember to go to the same first-period class on Monday, January 28; that you have been attending first semester, pick up your change-of-program slip, and report to the new class.

The aroma of freshly popped corn is, to a great extent, responsible for the sale of between 250 and 300 sacks of popcorn each day. Thanks to a new automatic machine, the popcorn sold in the lounge tastes "better than ever." The new machine replaces an old model which, according to Mrs. Kay Peters, "dates br. ck to the Civil War period. The new corn popper is time-saving and easier to clean."
Students are assured of buying fresh pc,pcorn in the lounge, because corn is popped daily. Mrs. Peters reports that popcorn sales are consistent, popcorn and gum being the largest selling items in the lounge.

Anger-Kid Stuff
Howmany times did you as a youngster vent your anger on toys? Pets? Your environment in general? If your answer is "many," "often," or even "a few," and you haven't changed your ways since childhood, you may be doing yourself an injustice. Too many people have grown up physically but have remained childish when it comes to blowing off excess steam. Many people still take out their anger on inanimate objects-mainly, automobiles.
The person who flies in a rage from a disagreeable situation, grabs his car keys, and jumps in the car, thinking of nothing but putting distance between himself and his problem, is a potential menace to himself and his surroundings from the moment he touches the ignition.
A driver in such a temper isamenace for various reasons. First, he will fail to see many hazards, conditions, and factors that influence his driving because he is thinking only of that which was said or done to make him angry.
Secondly, since he wants to get away from his unfavorable situation, he is likely to be unmindful of his speed; thus, another danger.
Thirdly, he will be angry not only at those who caused his anger, but anyone else who bothers him. Hence, he wi 11 be the horn-honking, laneweaving madmanso dangerous on streets and highways. ·
Last and most important is the proved fact that anger or other mental distraction slows reaction time.
If you were a child who threw your blocks and toys when angry, and as yet haven't changed your ways, change them. Next ti me you are angered, don't run for your car keys; run around the block. You will be saving yourself possible misfortune at the wheel as well as reducing the danger on our streets and highways by eliminating one more UNSAFEdriver!

LHSDrops LNE, LSE; Loses to Creighton Prep
Boys Town Here Friday
Lincoln High lost its second game of the season to Creighton Prep 66-50, Saturday, in the Prep gym before a small crowd.
The smaller Links battled feverishly throughout the game against the number-one basketball power in the state.
Although the score was lopsided, Prep had only a 3-point lead with 3 minutes to play, but bad Link shots enabled Prep to score 22 points in the final quarter to 11 points for Lincoln.
Lincoln High trailed 32-26 at the half and were behind qq_39 after 3 quarters.

The Links, led by Dave Hollibaugh and Dennis Wertz, moved a step closer to the city title, by defeating Lincoln Northeast 36-33. The game was close all the way~ with the score tied 2121 at halftime. Lincoln used a tenacious defense to overcome their bogged-down offense.
This victory was number three, against no losses in city competition. LHS is now in the drivers seat for a berth in the state tou,nament and a city crown.
LINKS57-LHE38
The Links disposed of rival Northeast 57-38, a margin of 19 points, in the first of their two meetings. The game was played early in the Christmas vacation.
TheLHSonslaught was sparked by the fine shooting of senior Mike Glenn. Mike, who received honorablemention as the Journal' s "Player of the Week," netted 18 points, gi ving him a 15.3 scoring average for three games.
Late in the fourth quarter, after the issue had been decided, Coach Alden Johnson emptied the bench.

Mystifying shots by cool Denny Wertz baffled the Knights throughout the game.
After trailing 12-10 at the end of the first quarter, the Links retaliated and went into the intermission with a 26-21 lead.
Although Wertz sparkled on offense, junior Bob Vasatka harassed the unfavored rival Knights constantly. This deed plus his contributing 12 points, was rewarded by a Journal honorable mention in the "Pl ayer of the Week II article.

RESERVES11-1-LSE39
The Link Reserves squeezed past Southeast 41-39, to end a 27-game winning skein held by tile junior Knights for the last two years. The smaller Links harassed the SE players, causing numerous ball-handling errors. These miscues resulted in LHS points and the win.

MIKE DALE
Two Lincoln High seniors have recently been selected for ~ilitary scholarship honors.
Mike Gumpand Dale Stoehr have each received a Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps Scholarship. This furnishes tuition, books, fees, uniforms, and salary for four years at any college or university where NROTCis offered.
To qualify for these scholarships, Mike ancl Dale each hi;.d to successfully complet.• a nation-wide competitive examar.,clpass a rigid physical exam and fitness test.
Upon graduation from college, Mike and Dale will be commissioned as ensigns in the United State~. Navy and will serve active duty for four years.
These scholarships offer a choice of remaining in the Navy or, upon graduation, transfering to the Marjnes with a commission as secondlieutenent.

STEREOSOUND
The sound department will have the capacity for stereo, which helps greatly in reproducing realistic sound effects. A stereo tape recorder and two amplifiers wil 1 drive quality sound through new speakers hidden in the walls.
Rounding out the list of light and sound renovations is a system of headphones enabling the crew chairman to converse directly with crew members. This will make possible last-minute changes and split-second timing. The chairman will be able to control the action from either backstage or from the audience.
Other changes will include a new grid on the stage from which backdrops are hung and a false proscenium in place of the upper front curtains.
In the last few years it has become apparent that the facilities in the Lincoln High auditorium are antiquated and inadequate.
The answer to the problem has finally been found. The 12-million-dollar bond issue recently passed in Lincoln will supply money for renovations and new light and sound equipment.
Although small changes are still in the planning stage, the major renovations have been approved by Mr. William Bogar, Principal of Lincoln High School. NEWLIGHTSHIDDEN
The first change being planned is the replacement of the flood lights and spot lights now mounted on the balcony railing. The new units will be hidden in the ceiling, near the stage. Tue next big change will be the replacement of the bal-

You'veGot'Em-Use
'Em Basic Recipe Revealed;
Are you one of those "easy go I ucky" persons whoth Inks studying is for the. "brains?" If so, it's time foryouto change your thinking and get on the ball and study.
Studying is for anyone w~o wants to get ahead in 1 ife, not Just for those who are, as some tP.en-agers say, "brains."
Why study? A few teen-agers feel that studying is a waste of time. They feel that tne time spent.on studying can be better spent doing more interesting things.
Is this the rignt attitude? The student who does study finds interesting things in his lessons, new information that he's never heard or read about; studying adds to his knowledge of other things he has learned. Studying not only increases one's knowledge but can be very exciting.
Studying can even become a habit once one learns how. How can you learn to enjoy studying? The first important fact is to ~ick a certa!n time to study. Then pick a certain place. Comfort and proper 1 ighting are important factors before one can really study. Quietness is also an essential factor. One should study for a time and then rest awhile so he doesn I t get bored with the subject.
After one puts forth a 1ittle P.ffort and time in studying, it can be both enjoyable and exciting.
Fun With a Purpose
Whydoes Lincoln High School have school clubs? Do club members ever find the meetings useful? Most teens join a club for a purpose and do gain many th i jgs frorn it.
Some clubs, such as the Future Teachers Club and the Future Nurses Cl Lb, give the members an insight and better understanding of the vocation which they have chosen. They discuss opportunities and values of such a vocation.
Other clubs, I ike the Chess Club, 1et students who have the same interests enjoy those activities together. Clubs may provide entertainment and satisfaction, inspire friendships and leadership qualities. A person who is usually shy may find a chance to express himself.
Each club has different objectives to offer and these are only a few of them. However, each membermust realize that he can only getasmuch out of a club as he puts into it.

1 rHowshall I vary it today?'· wonders Sheryl Fontaine.
Girls, the time has come to face the facts. Most boys won't even consider marrying a girl who can't cook, or who isn't at least willing to learn. Therefore, this article is directed to all those girls who want to win a boy, (and what girl in her right mind doesn't?)
As in all things, it is neceE-sary to start at the beginning. Starting in the middle would leave one in a dither, while starting at the end doesn't actually teach one anythin&.
MOSTELJNENTARY
Then,fore, one should begin with the most elementary of all cooking, the fine art of boiling water.
The first thing one must do is to find a pm, mainly because it gets a little sloppy without one.
Almost any type of pan is acceptable. A metal pan is recommended, however, as a woo~rn one is likely to become slightly charred when placed over a fire.
New Officers Face Varied Assignments
by Susie Phelps
The Student Council is busily heading into the second semester under the leadership of the newly e lected officers. They are Andy Taube, president; Dianne Haase, vice-president; Judy Myers, secretary; and Tom Thompson, treasurer.
Selection of a theme for the 1963 annual All Sports Banquet to be held in April has been of utmost importance in the last few council meetings. As the final selection has not yet been made, any suggestions from the student body are welcome.
At a HomeRoomRepresentative meeting held with the Council early in January, preliminary plans to pave the school parking lots were announced. A questionnaire concerning use of the lots by students has been circulated, and will be evaluated by the Council and the administration. A decision on whether or not to go ahead with a long-range paving project will be made this semester .
The student Council• had an opportunity to exchange views and become better acquainted with the members of the student councils of the other Lincoln high schools at a dance held at University High on February 11. Thanks to Mr. Orville Voss and the dance band for providing the music!
Second, one must decide on the proper type of water to use. Salt water is fine, but one must be careful to use only the real McCoy. Salt water must always come directly from tbe sea. Imitation salt water lacks all of those minerals, different types of seaweed, aud millions upon millions of assorted parasites so vital to one' s health. Artesian well water is also fine for boiling, but some people consider Artesia too far to go for a pan of water.

Planning for Teens, Keentime Is fun, But Involves Work
Because Lincoln teens wanted an organization to plan dances strictly for high school students, Keentime was formed in 1944.
Organized with a membership o f 6 5 it has grown into one of the largest organizations in Lincoln, boasting a membership of over 4000 high school students.
ALLHIGHSCHOOU:REPRESENTED
Headed by Keentime Council, Keer.time nowpl ans 'dances tt.e year roun.d. 1'ne Council is usually composed of eight members from each of the Lincoln high schools, and is directed by Mrs. Doris Pierce, assistant superintendent of the City Recreation Depart ment.
The Council is responsible for scheduling dances, obtaining combos, planning the themes for the dances, decorating, and getting parent sponsors.
KEENTIMEDONATESMONEY
Occasionally Keentinie donates money to variou, organizations. The Council gave $200 to the Children's Zoo last SWlllDer.The money is to be used to IJuy a bench which will bear a plaque with a Keentime inscription.
Lincoln High stt.:dents on Keentime Council are; Roy Donahoe, Dee Huber, Jerry Hunter, Nina Mattick, Faye Modenstein, Kathy Ness, Frank Quinn, Candy Sasso, Barb Shaner, Marcia Sims, ~nd Melody Sommer.
VARIETYOF DANCES
Keentime dances are held every Tuesday night in the summer, and aft er certain football and basketball games in the fall and winter. Special dances are planned on occasion, such as the Sadie Hawkins dance, the AFS dance, and the March of Dimes dance.
Keentime handles its own expenses, such as paying for combos and building rental, but still manages to keep admission down to 25 cents per person.
THE ADVOCATE

Various books, pamphlets, and pictures have been compiled depicting man's attempt to me~sure the passing of time
MEASURINGI\JINUTES
The measurement of smaller units of time has been just as f!J.' eat a problem. People not only wished to measure days and years, they also wanted to measure hours and minutes.
People have used numerous devices to tell time, Among the earliest methods was the gnomon, in use about 1500 BC. The sundial was another early nclock. 11 Both instruments used shadow length to determine the time of day.
During the Middle Ages, new methods had to be established to tell time indoors Candles made to burn in lengths of hours were used. The clepsydra measured the time by the interval required for a liquid to flow from one container to another below it.
LATERMETHODS
More recent is the sandglass or hourglass which measured sand flowing between two glass bulbs.
Mechanical clocks began to appear in the fifteenth century.
Electrical clocks were developed during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Work is now progressing on atomic clocks, proving that time is beini measured with ever increasing precision to aid man in his effort to organize the passing hours, days, and years.
Early Birds
TakeNotehand
Oh, how I love to take notehand in the morning--yawn!
This is the sleepy reaction of the students, who are taking the 8:00 notehand class.
The notehand class is now in its third year. Lincoln High was one of the first schools among high schools and colleges to offer this course when it was first introduced. This form of notetaking is now being taught in all 50 states.
Anotehand s.tudent is taught how to take concise and comprehensive notes from reading and listening. Not only do pupils learn the machanical means of taking notes, but they also learn to read and listen for good note-making. The organization of the notes is part of the project.
This course would be a great asset, if one was going to college, where many classes are lecture and reading.
Clocks Go Round?
Time Marches On
What time is it? That's a very good question, and one that is frequently asked at Lincoln High. You never get the same answer because, although there are approximately one hundred clocks in the school, there are rarely ten of them telling the same time at the sr.me time.
This inconsistency in accuracy prese~ts problems to everyone, but especially to the following people.
THE CHRONICLATECOMERS : Thanks to the clocks, these1 people might ruin their record of always being late by getting to school on time, or (heaven forbid) early.
THELUNCH-HOURS~UEEZERS: These kids wait as long as they can befon , returning to their classroom after lunch. The difference in the clocks presents quite a problem if the lunchroom clock's different from the classroom clock (especially if the teacher goes by the clock in her room!)
THEDEAliLINEMEETERS:These students don' t get their homework done the night before, and during their study time third period, they try to get their fourth period homework done. By the clock they have plenty of time, then five minutes later the bell rings.
THECLOCK-WATCHERS:These kids can go batty trying to figure out howmuch time they have left in class. It's not too bad if the clock' s only five or ten minutes off but if it's 2:30 and the clock says 7: 50, it's very confusing! Naturally, all these students, in order to be prepared for the next class, must consider the variations in time, and begin to prepare to leave as soon as they arrive.Since it would cost the school too much moneyto have the clocks repaired, it seems the only solution to the problem would be to have your o~~nwatch and set it with thf , bell. By the way, what time did vou say it was?

The manuscript i s the property of Mr. William Story, history teach e r. The diary belonged to his great-grandfather, Ben s. Pindar.
MUCHKNOWLEDGEGAINED
Because of the age of the material and the difference in terminology , the diary had to be interpreted and rewritten. A senior girl, Sylvia Narramore, volunteered to rewrite the diary and has b e en working on it for 5 weeks. Sylvia explains, "I have gained much knowledge about the Civil War and the feeling of the menwho fought in the battles through mywork in rewriting the diary. "

The diary is in two parts. One part is for 1863 , the other for 1864. Combined,they give brief insights into

He fought at Mill Springs, Chickamauga, and at other engagements. After the battle· of Missionary Ridge he was promoted to the rank of Captain. He was also with Sherman in the march to Atlanta. After the war he settled in Nebraska City. Due to the difficulty of ttanscribing the diary, it has been taken to the State Historical Society for completion.
Charles Lowe From German Returns 'Home'
"I would like to go back to Germany, next time as a tourist," was the feeling voiced by Charles Lowe on his return from his semester stay in Germany. Charles was sent by fhe American Field Charles Service to live with the Erich Prier family in Munich, Germany, He found Munich to be a "very clean" city with many things to do including attending live theater.
In addition to his "mother" and "father," who was a research physicist, he had three "brothers." One, whomhe seldom saw, was married; the other two lived at home.
POLITICALDISCUSSIONS
Charles had many political
discussions with his younger brother who went to school with him. He found that Germans admire Americans and their democratic way of life and felt that Germans had much to learn from America.
Charles went to 'l. boys school and was surprised to find that s chool played a small part in the lives of German teens.
"In America, students go to school all day, sometimes stay after hours to attend club meetings then go to a school activity at night. In Gennany, they go to school from 8:00 to 1: 00 and have no more contact with the school until the next day," Charles explained.
MOREEMPHASISONSCIENCE
He thought that school subjects were harder in GeNllan schools because there is more emphasis on science.

D. C.
PURPOSEOF TRIP
The purpose of the trip was to acquaint America's youth with their own government and its multiple functions.
During the busy week, Cindy spent an entire day with Senator Roman Hruska of Nebraska. Together they attended meetings and other special events of the day. At this time Cindy had the privilege of hearing President John F. Kennedy address the group.
"Much to my surprise the President appeared much older and more distinguishedlooking than I had pictured him," remarked the LHS delegate.
EACHSTATEREPRESENTED
"Each state and the District of Columbia sent two representatives to this con-
teenagers from all over the country.
"Even though wewere together only a short time , I made many new acquaintances," she explained.
''Before we left, the United States Senate and the William r.andolph Hearst Foundation presented each student with a flag of the United States for his school, " Cindy reported.

Lowe Returns
( from p. 3)
German teens, while not as mature as American teens, enjoy about the same things. They have rock-and-roll like Americans but they think American Music is better than their own.
The girls in Germany wear the same ki ind of clothes as American girls and when they are not wearing skirts or dresses they wear ski pants. Boys wear either long or very short pants. They think bermudas look "funny."
On the whole, Charles enjoyed his trip very much because it gave him insight to human nature, which he found to be much the same in both countries.

Hear French Girl
Third-year French Students were given a special treat recently when Kakki Halle, exchange student from Nancy, France, currently enrolled at Lincoln Northeast High School spoke to the class entirely in French.
She told of her home and school life remarking that French people never go anywhere as couples (unless engaged), but always in groups. There is no social life in school because there high schools are not coeducational.
She declined to make comment on French politics, saying it had been six months since she had seen a French newspaper and that the French and American newspapers don't record events in the same way.

Students, Faculty Share Joy Night Tradition
Joy Night was first presented in April of 1925 by request of the student body. Students suggested that a fun activity on the lighter, gayer side be organized.
With these requests in mind, faculty and students originated Joy Night. Its purpose was "to give pupils and faculty a chance to work together in fun-making enterprise and to discover new talent. "
The early Joy Night programs were in two parts. The first part was made up of about five short acts. The second part was a minstrel show and revue.
UNUSUALPROPS
Among the props for the first Joy Night was a real, running automobile.
Two free tickets were offered to the student artist who made the best poster advertising Joy Night.
A Joy Night jazz band was organized in 1928. Bill Albers, who now has a band of his own, was a member of this group.
The Joy Night theme in 1933 was the World's Fair.
Previous to 1936, Joy Night was presented on two nights, only. In 1936 it was held over an extra night. Since then, it has been scheduled for three nights.
The objective of Joy Night presented in 1940 was to earn enough money to purchase the school's sound system.
SERVICETO COMMUNITY·
In 1945 seven of the acts -fromJoy Night entertained at the Lincoln Army Air Field Hospital. Now, acts are frequently asked to entertain at various institutions.
Seventy-five acts tried out for Joy Night in 1950. This was the greatest number of acts to try out until that time.
Not a small part of the success of Joy Night are the stage backdrops. Some have featured the bare stage while others have been quite elab-
orate.
The backdrops are the creations of the art department. Joy Night is truly a Lincoln High presentation. It is the work of students and teachers together.

ifoth i ng is one of those hard to define, ~here-does-it-end words. ~here does the majority of people feel the end of "nothing" lies?
To clarify the meaning of nothing, perhaps it would be best just to avoid using the word alone. To use it say, "nothing important," or, "nothing significant."
Occupation: Teenager
The teen-years have been called "The Doorway to Life." The author of these words must have been a middleaged dreamer, reminiscing of the "golden, carefree days of youth."
People in the group labeled "teenagers" know that the time between 13 and 19 years of age is not a doorway to life but Life itself.
The teenager is involved in th~ very real and important occupation of Growing-up. Under "Occupation: Growing-up" are many sub-divisions. A teen is growing-up emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually.
Adu1ts often forget personal heartaches of the teen years and remember the joys. This is right. But they must never forget that there are heartaches.
Life without troubles is not I ife but merely existence.
Adults learned by their mistakes. How, let teens learn by themselves-from triumph and failure.

Ho-A Hiking
Oh! The Sore
Tramp, tramp, tramp. Let's go hiking! Just everyone is doing it, and besides, what' s 50 miles?
President John F. Kennedy recently revived the 50-mile hiking stint for the United States Marines. This standard requirement was initiated 54 years ago by President Theodore Roosevelt.
Although there aren't any Marines at Lincoln High School, several students have hiked or attempted to hike the entire distance.
Both Dean Dumler and Phil Gray hiked about 30 miles. Dean didn't think he would
We Will Feet Go
ever try it again but Phil gave a courageous "yes" to the same question. Jim Robinson reported that he walked 10 miles--unintentionally! Jim dido' t think be would do it again mainly because of his tired feet.
However, two really ambitious seniors, Bob McKayand Rich Schwabauer, hiked the entire 50 miles.
Even so, many students are probably quite sure that walking up and downand around the halls of Lincoln High, and rushing to classes on various floors gives them all of the exercise they could possibly need.
Cadet While Teachers Teach Being
New classes, new teachers, perhaps new friends, and new student teachers are all brought together with the beginning of each semester.

To Be Or
To be a conformist, or npt to be, that is the question:
Wheiher 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous non-conformity, Or to take arms against a sea of nonconformists and by opposing end the will of others.
It is easy to be a conformist and go along with the current fad, but is it easy to be a non-conformist?
We are in a period of development when conformity is in. Because of this, anyone who feels he doesn't want to go along with the crowd is in a position to be labeled a nonconformist or anti-social individual.
Fads are fine and they sometimes keep up with the times, but fads aren't all that can lead to conformity. Society, politics, and economic status al so can force us into a standardized pattern.
Confo rm to a fad , i t ' s a 11 r i ght to do that. After al 1, fads fade quickly. Something is al ways coming along to take the place of the present craze. But watch for the pitfalls in I ife that can lead to bl ind, meaningless, unreasoning conformity.
Use your common sense and your ability to think to decide what is right for you. Whether or not to conform is a personal decision.

THE ADVOCATE
!Fad Bug Bites Boys Too!
Fads and girls are usually spoken of in the same breath. However, the boys, too, have their fads although they aren't always so obvious.
Look at the boys in the halls sometime. If you are really observant you'll realize that many of them are conforming to the style of wearing white socks and black loafers.
Boys' fads aren't limited to the feet however. Grubbies, sweatshirts \\Orn wrong-sideout and with the sleeves cut off, have become a must in their mode of dress. Brightly colored vests may al so be seen in the halls of Lincoln High School .
Quotable Quiz
As spring draws near you might think we would ask about the coming season. Instead we have been asking Links students, "What would you do if you suddenly found a clavicle sitting next to you in a dark theater?"
Pat Canfield- I'd put my coat over it and tell it to be quiet.
Rich Dexter- If it was scaly I would runr
Mike McDonald- I ' d hold hands with it.
Dean Dumler- I'd shoot it with my peashooter.
Chuck Kant- I'd introduce myself.
Don Klippert- I would sit on it.
Cindi Koch- I would move away from it.
Tom Krieger- I'd put it m ck on my back.
Billy Medina- If it were mine I'd put it in a zoo.
Cheryl Mooney-Scoot a Ii ttle closer.
Edith Prettyman- rd lean on it!
Nancy Ryder- What do you, think I' d do?
Glenn Schwartzkopf- I'd bring it to school and give it to Mr. Manthey.
Sally Sheridan- I'd take it home with me.
Jim Tassler- I'd wipe off the gore and put it back in place.
Bob Wendt• I'd buy it a coke.
Some~ave probably guessed by now. But for those of you whohaven't, a clavicle is the human collarbone!
The ivy league hair cut has' become popular. The hair is cut short, parted, and combed to onri side.
There is one fad peculiar to Lincoln High. It has been here for years and is likely to remain. Started unintentionally by one of the teachers, the insignia is a Mr. Harold Scott tie worn on "Mr. Scott Day. 11

Teenage Project Promotes Good High School Relations
Lincoln Teenage Project, a division of the Nebraska Resources Research Foundation, is sponsored by Dr. William Hall, Professor of Educational Psychology at the Uni versi ty of Nebraska.
Teenage Project is composed of a group of Lincoln high school students plus their college counselors, who try to achieve certain goals.
GOALSOF PROJECT
The goals of Project are:
1. Everyone in Project should get to know everyone else.
2. The counselor and the counselee should establish a g~od working relationship.
3. Project should work to bring the high schools of Lincoln closer together.
4. Project should strive to make a positive contribution to the city of Lincoln.
SELECTIONOF MEMBERS
High school members are selected by interviews. College members are also selected by interview or have been past high school members.
The membership of Project is 52, composedof 26 counselors and 26 counselees. The
Lincoln qigh members are Tom Dermyer, Chuck Goetowski, Sharon Hall, Cindy Hardin, Susan Phelps, and Andy Taube. PROJECT'SACTIVITIES
One of Lincoln Teenage' s main projects was the Project Show held in the spring. The show was called "Destination USA" in 1961. The 1962 show was titled 11Holidaze. 11 These consisted of various acts built around a main theme, all devised and writ ten by college students. The primary function of these shows was to promote relations between high schools. All Lincoln high school students were welcome to try out. The p:rqceeds from the Project Shows finanee other Teen age ac ti vi ti es, all of which deal with fulfilling the "four goals."
Teenage Project is bringing the Four Preps to Lincoln, March 23. Project is using over $2000, raised by last year's show, to bring the Preps. They will perform at Pershing Municipal Auditorium. All high school students will be admitted free of charge .

_
"Having tv.o black eyes and 29 stitches in four weeks" was recalled as being Candy "Stitches" Sasso' smostmemorable experience.
Candy, who lists her activities as Cheerleader, Keentime Council, and Links salesman, hopes to attend the University of Nebraska next fall, and then become a nurse.
"Being chosen a Homecomingattendent" rates as Candy's second most memorable experience.
"To make National Honor Society and honor roll" are Candy' s senior goals.
Candy. who likes "the easy-going atti tu?e of most of the kids at LHS," imparts this advice to all ambitious students, "Don' t let extracurricular activities interfere with your studies. I know---1' ve done it and now I'm sorry."
Dennis "Chickita Banana" Kos says he plans to have the most fun he can during his last year at LHS.
Sleeping, eating, and watching monster movies are Dennis' s favorite pastimes, Future plans for our Thumbnailer include attending the University of Nebraska. Music, and analytic geometry rate as Dennis' s favorite subjects.
"Chicki ta Banana" admires the LHS traditions, the school spirit, and the fine teachers.
Chess Club, Reserve Golf, Choir treas1;rer, Octet, Joy Night, and Music Clinic are the various extracurricular activities which keep Dennis quite busy.
"Being chosen as a member of Octet and getting a 1 ead in the opera" are memorable experiences for this Thumbnailer.
-
If you happen to see someone "tripping up the stairs" it is probably Janet Zieg taking part in her hobby.
"Ziegie" is in the Arts and Science curriculum and en.ioys history, music and psychology as favorite subjects. While she participates in Choir, Girls Octet , International Club, Pepper treasurer, opera, Joy Night, and church choir she still has time for talking on the phone (naturally) and people-watching. Her senior goal, "to better understand through education," ties in with her plans to attend the University of Nebraska to study to become a teacher.
"The great cooperation of all the kids and teachers" rate first in Janet' s book. Her most embarrassing experience happened when "I got caught eating candy in class and was embarrassed to tears." Janet's biggest thrill at LHS was being chosen for Octet.
"People who say 'oh kid' " is her pet peeve.
-
"School woul dn' t be the same without the mornings in front of the lounge" remarks Bob McKay. Extracurricular activities for Bob include Reserve and Varsity basketball and Reserve baseball. "Fay" enjoys hunting, fishing, and bowling in his spare time.
"My whole life is an embarrassing experience" says Bob. The friendly students and faculty at LHS rate as tops with Bob. However, the "short lunch lines and long lunch hours" is Bob' 's pet peeve.
Bob' smost memorable eXperience was scoring in the basketball game against Grand Island. "Tohave fun" is Bob's senior goal.

Creative Cookerr Tomorrow's Chefs Leaves Content
During the year a young man's fancy turns to many things. In the spring it's to love, but in the winter it turns to his favorite pastime, the satisfying of the taste buds.
On one of these typical winter nights, two young men toiled feverishly over a hot oven. The goal of their culinary efforts was a cherry cream pie. Having the kitchen to themselves, the boys were free to plan and create as they pleased.
HARDWORKAHEAD
Confronting them were several rows of cooking utensils.
Knowing the task that lay before them, they began with care. One boy carefully read directions, while his coworker began to make the pie crust. Step by step, with great care and precision, this part of the project was completed and put into the oven to bake.
While waiting for the crust to cool so that they might begin the next phase of operation "Pie," the boys cleaned up the small (?) mess they had made.
This task completed, the creators took condensed milk, lemon juice, vanilla, and almond extract, and poured the right amounts into a bowl. Byusing the "trial and error" method, the proper mixture was obtained.
After stirring this mixture until they thought it had reached the desired thickness , they poured it into the pie shell. The chefs then spooned a thick cherry glaze over the mixture.
The pie was put into the refrigerator to chill for two hours. The boys had just about finished the kitchen cleaning when it was time to take out the pie.
VICTORYOR DEFEAT
The moment of decision was at hand. A daring mother was called in to sample the pie.
With mixed feelings, the boys waited intently. "Delicious" was her verdict. They had been successful!
Living Organisms Flourish In Controlled Atmosphere
All living things need air and water to survive but some plants and animals are able to live in a little world of their own, sealed in a gallon bottle.
This is possible in a balanced aquarium, a setup in which the plants are in the correct proportion to supply oxygen to the animals, fish and snails , and provide food for them, The animals give off carbon dioxide which , in turn, the plant must have. The waste materials supply food for the plants' growth.
PLANTS,ANIMALSBALANCED
In this type of aquarium it is necessary to keep the plants and animals balanced, for if there are too many animals, all of the waste cannot be used The water then becomes murky and cuts off the oxygen. If the water is not changed, the fish will die.
An aquarium such as this is found in Mrs. Gladys Tanpl e' s biology room. Also found there is a bottle garden. This is a plant that has been living in a sealed bottle without additional air or water since November, 1959.
At t11at time a rather slowgrowing plant was watered well, sealed, and placed away from direct sunlight which would have sent the inside temperature so high that the plant would have been cooked.
MINIATURECYCLE
The plant doesn't need watering because the original water can't evaporate. Instead it condenses on the inner surface of the glass and trickles down to moisten th e material in the soil again.
Thus, a sort or perpetual motion cycle is set up with sunshine and shower in minature.
When a leaf on the plant dies , it falls to the soil and turns to soluble nitrates which enrich the soil.
The plant manufactures food in the sunlight, and gives off oxYgen, which it uses at night. In burning food, it gives off carbon dioxide which is used during the day, in the presence of sunlight, to make food.

Amateur Stimulated Botanist's by Rare Curiosity Bloom
A recent Advocate article about a hazily-identified plant of the philodendron family, then blooming in the green-house, inspired Gary Whitson, an amateur botanist, to search for additional information concerning the history and correct name of the plant.
Not satisfied with in forma ti on provided by text books, he went to botany research works and visited the Ag. College. He found that the plant, whose correct name is Common Ape ( ah-pay) has relatives in other parts of the world with practical uses.

Musical Life of Interests Fill Marc Johnson
Nine years ago a small boy became convinced that he wanted to enter the field of music, to make it his goal for the future. He decided to master the cello.
This same boy, Marc Johnson, a junior at Lincoln High , recently won first place in the Music Teachers National Association Strings Audition held at Chicago. Marc's interest in music was encouraged by his mother, who played the violin in a string quartet. Marc, not especially interested in the violin, chose the cello, but had to start with a threequarter size instrument.
MUSICALFUTURE
His plans to major in music at an eastern college should guide him toward his goal.
At Lincoln High, Marc has played in the orchestra and opera orchestra for two years. In the summer, he go es to a music camp where he spends 4 to 5 hours a day practicing besides studying music theory.
Long hours of practice have paid off for Marc. Here he poses with his cello.
Candy SassoNamed To TourneySquad
Lincoln High senior, Candy Sasso, has been named to the All-Tournament Cheerl eading Squad. The cheerleaders were chosen for their enthusiasm, appearance, cheerleading ability, over-all spirit, and leadership.
Pepper Tea Planned
Sponsors and officers of the Pep Club will give a Graduation Tea for all Peppers and women faculty members. The event will be held in the Lincoln High School Lounge from 2 to 4 p. m., Sunday, March 31.
Marc placed first in a field of eight who hld qualified in the string division. He has also won the WesternCentral regional title for the past two years.
Trip-Incentive In Competition
College scholarship and a trip to France are top prizes for winners of the National French Contest on the national level.
The testing in the West Central District which includes Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, will be given April 4 and 5. Lincoln High Students will take the test during class periods.
The test is given in two parts, oral and written, each lasting one half hour. District winners will be presented a medal from the French Government.

Never The Present
Do you feel you are wasting your 1 ife? Or more important, are you wasting your H fe'?
Will you have enough time during your I ife to do all you want to do and to be what you want to be?
Will you be able l:o travel the world over, go mountain climbing, learn to ski, go sailing or deep sea fishing, read all the books you've ever wanted to, or just sit at home daydreaming?
There is a myriad of occupations to decide from. Howdo you know you are choosing the one suited to you?
Should you be a sales~an, attorney, doctor, pol i ti ci an, statesman, plumber, production manager, journalist or perhaps would you be best suited as president of some corporation?
Are you planning to own a large estate or do your dreams demand a house in a quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors who are always having a get-together of some sort? Perhaps you will I ive in a big city or reside in a smalI town.
Will you be in the same social circle as your parents or can you change it?
You have but one I ife to I ive. Are you planning it now and living it the way you want to? Will you be able to say you I ived your I ife the best way for you and to the ful I est advantage?
Once it's gone, there is nothing to be done to regain the chance to live the way you wanted.
The Good Lord sends the fishing, But you must dig the bait.
Time of Decision
"The time has come," the walrus said, "to talk of many things. "Of dates and proms and days gone by and, yes, those senior themes!"
Another school year is coming to a close and the long vacation wi 11 soon begin. Most of us will have a happy, carefree summer, but for the graduating seniors this will be a summer of great decisions. The biggest of these is the decision about advanced education or training.
The great majority, those gifted with foresight, will realize that spending additional time is a very sma11 price to invest in possible future success. The effect that additional education may have on their I ife cannot be measured by temporal means.
Those who think ahead know that they must be prepared if they are to take advantage of opportunity.
Far too many, however, will bypass additional study in favor of a job in which no specialized skills are required. To them, spending more time in learning is just a waste of time and money. They will soon find, however, that "quick money" isjust that, quick, but not lasting.
Everyone is faced with this decision at some time in his life. Those who would climb the ladder of success will see that additional training above the high school level is a very necessary part of the preparation for tomorrow's world.
Not everyone is academically inclined but everyone has a certain talent which must be fully developed if he is to contribute to his societ'1 and achieve highest personal sati afaction.
IHufnan Career THE ADVOCATE SciencesOff er Opportunities
Students attending the Con-
ference on the Human Sciences learned of the ever-increasing need for ski lied and interested persons in journalistic or medical careers related to the science of mental health.

Johnny's fourth period teacher found these words inscribed for all posterity, 11I hate Mr. Blah! 11 One naturally jumps to the conclusion that Johnny has just flunked one of Mr. Blah's tests.

Yes, it is easy to tell a person's moods merely by reading his desk. Who knows? Maybe Bob and Joan finally got together!!
Studying the creative posters for Joy Night are (1 tor) Judy Ristau, Loretta Tubbs, Les Franklin, and Mike Gump.
Our first Thumbnailer is Judy Ristau, whose nickname will never be told. She is in the Arts and Science Curriculum and her favorite subjects are psychology and International Relations.
"The pride and tradition of LHS and it's cooperative students and teachers" are what Judy likes best at LHS.
Judy can be heard saying "how about that" as her favorite expression.
Her extra curricular activities include: Future Teachers Club, Peppers, and the Links Board.
Her most memorable experience was being chosen for the 1963 Links Board.
Judy's senior goal is to have the best yearbook ever and she comments, 11I hope everyone will buy a 1963 Links."
****
Loretta Tubbs (alias 11L. T.," Floretta, and Ret) has as many nicknames as she has extracurricular activities. Loretta participates in Orpheons, Mummers, Madrigals, Joy Night, is Choir accompanist and is the editor-inchief of the 1963 Links. She has also attended Girls' State and has won a four-year Regents scholarship.
Loretta, who is in the Arts and Science and Teachers curriculum, plans to attend the University of Nebraska and study to become a music teacher. Her favorite pastime of playing the piano and organ should be an asset to her. Her favorite subjects are choir and yearbook, and her senior goal is to have "a terrific Links for 1963. 11
The wonderful tradition and fi ds at LHS are the things that Loretta enjoys most. Whenever she gets a chance, Loretta collects felt pennants and salt shakers. Her pet peeve is "people who call girls by their last name" (naturally with all those nicknames.) Loretta's most memorable experience happened in her senior year when she portrayed 11Bossa Nova" at the district basketball pep rally.

NOMA Contest Results Good Spellers Indicate
The results of the annual NOMAInternational Spelling Contest, in which 26 members of the second-year shorthand class participated, indicate the highest percentage of correct papers Lincoln High has ever had.
11The purpose of the spelling exam is to promote in-
terest in better spelling in business. Businessmen feel spelling is one of the big problems in stenographic and clerical employee performance," says Miss Dorothy Dumpert, who is a member of the Commercial Department.
In recognition of indi vidual accomplishment, each of the following girls, all of whom made perfect scores, will receive NOMASpelling Certificates:
Barbara Adams, Judi th Ager, Sally Anderson, Kathy Bieber, Mary Ann Coulter, Reba Dickey, Sue Gentry, Paula Gingery, Marie Hess, Sandy Hill, Cathy Norwood, Eleanor Saunsoci, Be~ty Jean Schwisow, Marci a Sinkule, Elaine Tippery, Marcia Waters, and Jessie Wilson.
A second test will be given on March 27. A Proficiency Spelling Certificate will be awarded to those who make perfect scores on this test.
Typewrhr
Baby chicks and stuffed birds are the subjects ot study by biology students.
In their study of the evolution of birds from reptiles, they found ways in which birds and reptiles are alike and ways in which birds have, progressed over reptiles.
The scaley legs, claws and partly-webbed feet of birds are good evidence of their reptilic background. They have, unlike the reptile, a well-developed chest cavity and a breastbone to which ribs are attached. Because they have the power to migrate from a place with bad climate or lack of food, the bird has survived.
BIRD WATCHINGNOTNEW
For centuries, man has watched them soaring through the sky and has wished that he, too, could fly.
Several early inventors tried unsuccessfully to fly b,y strapping wings to their rurms. They failed because they lacked sufficient musc:les in thei1· arms to flap the ~ings the needed 100 to 500 strokes per minute to become air-born. The muscles necessary for a birds flight, equals one third of the birds body weight.
WINGSTOOSMALL
The man-designed wings were also too small in proportion to the body, •though even the most perfectly constructed wings would not have worked without tremendous power. A man of 110 pounds would have needed wings 50 to 70 feet long to fly successfully. Modern man has taken from the bird the basic theory of flight to design airplanes. Nature is still providing valuable information for man's use.

Slsie: No, but I've heard that they have lots of new things. I did go to their style show a couple of weeks ago, and saw so many pretty new spring outfits."
Joan: "oh, you simply must go down and see the gorgeous formals. You know, long formals are coming back in sty! e this year, and Hovland' s has than in all styles and colors. There was a blue one that p arti cul arly caught my eye. It had layers of white satin ruffles on either side with blue satin folded over it like a flower petal."
SUsie: "It sounds v.onderful ! There was a pink formal I saw modeled in the style show that I really liked. It was a short-length gown with white lace covering it. It was quite simple, yet so dres,sy. ,,.
Joan: 11Yes, and I've heard that the Hi-Stylers are going to have another fashion show the first part of April. I guess it's because so many more new things are coming in. I'm certainly looking forward to it. 11

Fouls proved to be the Links main downfall. Central scored 11 more free throws than did Lincoln High. Three players tied for Link scoring honors. Frank Brill, Ralph Merriman, and Mike Glenn each scored 10 points.
Game Changed, Now CagersScorel
The 91-73 victory of Omaha Tech over Creighton Prep in the State Basketball Tourney finals is typical of today's fast, high scoring brand of bask et ball. It is also in direct contrast to the last time Tech wona basketbal 1 championship when, in 1926, the Omahaclub defeated Lincoln High 17-14. Some "highlights" of this game were the facts that Lincoln High failed to score a field goal in the entire first half, which enabled Tech to take a net-sizzling 8-3 lead at half-time.
The individual high point total for each team in 1926 was 7 points compared to this years 31 points by Fred Hare of Omaha Tech.

Also playing an important part in the baseball scene will be some of the 15 Reserve lettermen movingup from last year' s Reserve squad.
Grosscup hopes that the combination of Varsity lettermen and hard work can j el 1 the team into a winner for the spring competition.
TRACK The optimism found on the b1aseball diamond is also present on the track cinders, as voiced by track coach Harold Scott.
"we have as good a chance as anyone in Lincoln for a city championship. No school is particularly strong this year."
Coach Scott will form the 1963 track squad around a nucleus of eight returning lettermen. These are: W.L. Ellis, Dick Fuller, Dennis Gordon, Ron Hamilton, Ralph Merriman, Steve Quam, Stan Siefkes, and George Ward.
About 15 of last year's Reserve lettermen are back. These, along with some of the promising sophomore group, will give the added depth necessary for a well-balanced track squad.
The quintet includes Charlie Borner, 3rd place finisher in the state meet, Wally Imig, Ken Mesloh, Lou Schwartzkopf, and Gal en Ullstrom.
Coach Dick Beechner, commenting on this year's outlook says, "wehave good potential for a fine season. The factor which will determine a winning season is how much the boys want to win. 11
The golfers will play five dual meets and two triangulars.
Championship competition will include the Inter-City Conference at Omaha, the Fremont Invitational, the City Meet, and the State Golf Meet which is to be held in Lincoln this )'ear.

Easter Lives On?
~istory is strange, everything is related by cause and effect. Today, as we 1ook back we say that a certain cause has resulted in a certain effect. Such is the history of Easter. Without the documentsof time, people might soon forget the message and the hope that Easter brings.
Easter is more than a new hat, church attendance, or eggs hidden in the yard. We too often forget the message Easter brings as soon as that Sunday is gone. We fai 1 to real i ze that al I ye a r l on g, i t stands fo r r hope if we believe in ourselves and our f el I ownen, and have faith in God.

Head~
Have Minds
It's said that two heads are better than one. That may be true, but when seven or eight heads get together to do homework it's as good as having no head at al l •
Seven or eight heads have seven or ei _ghtminds, and seven or eight mouths with which to express their minds. When these mouths are all going at once it is impossible for even one mind to stay on homework and accomplish anything.
Two heads can force themselves to accomplish something by keeping each other in line. Th~ odds are strong against each other when one mind tries to work against six or seven other minds.
In other words the moral is: Don't do homeworkwith seven or eight heads that have minds.

Car's ConditionReveals
Owner's Inner Self
Did you ever YtOnderwhy that big Buick or elderly Chevy or Ford down the street is in such good shape? Did you ever think about the ways in which all the rust, rattles, dents, and scratches came to that old beater that's parked in the lot out back? Did you ever wonderwhysome cars are ready for the wrecking yard while others of the same vintage are the "show pieces II which you see on the streets daily?
The answer lies in that "thing" which is standard equipment in most cars -the driver!
On a leisurely stroll through an average parking lot, stop in front of any car, one picked at random or one that catches your fancy. Ah, yes, that old blue junker there. That's it, the one with the mud caked on it. Look it over--lots of dents and scratches, huh? Kick the tires, (not too hard, they might explode!) Take a look at the interior through that cracked window. Dirty, isn't it?
MOREENJOYA8LESIDE
Now that this part of your tour is completed, saunter on a little farther until you come to a car that looks well taken care of, one that' s not too new. Oh, it's just been washed! Notice the shine of that newwaxjob. Notice, too, the plastic seat covers. There isn't even dirt on the floor. Concentrate on the two cars you have just inspected. Think back to the first, the unkempt one, and form a mental picture of the owner. ijy the looks of those dirty whitewalls, his shoes probably haven't been polished for
weeks. That crumpled fender suggests a suit the cleaner has seldom seen and the dirt and rust of the body indicate a man in dire need of a bath and shave. In general, he's probably careless, slovenly, indifferent, slightly impoverished, in short, a mess.
Thoroughly disgusted? Well, try to think of that shiny little buggy by which you' re standing. Ah, there' s a driver of perfection, a real spit and polish expert. He is a man of slight stature, but he is proud and neat in appearance as well as meticulous in dress.
That perfectly spotless interior suggests a neatly pressed, conservative suit, shined shoes, vest with a pocket watch on a chain, and gold-rimmed spectacles. The owner of this automobile v.ould no more damage his car than mar his perfect attendance record at church.
DIFFERENTEXPERl!ENT
Let's try a different experiment. View the driver and imagine the car. Here's a likely candidate-side burns, leather jacket, motorcycle cap. He probably drives a big motorcycle or a hot rod with dual carburetors and loud exhausts.
Get the idea? All right, you try it. Try that tall, good-looking gentleman with the brief case and expensive looking suit. You guessed it, a Cadillac.
So you see, in the future, creditors, salesmen, friends and even psychiatrists may know the person with whom they are dealing simply by taking a quick look at the car he drives.

OFTENNATIONALSYMBOLS
In some countries a flower or pl ant has been legally adopted as a national emblem or symbol. In America, most of the states have adopted state flowers by vote of public school children.
The lotus, a flower sacred to the ancient Egyptians, is represented on columns that supported their buildings.
The Warof Roses, a 30-year struggle for the English throne, was between two royal English houses, York with the white rose as a symbol and Lancaster represented by the red rose.
In the Old and New Testaments, 100 different flowers or plants are mentioned.
THEADVOCATE
Flowers were important .in religious festivals and celeinto wine.
Medieval cookbooks contain quaint recipes for a syrup of violets that was to be poured over puddings and cakes. In the Elizabethan Age, violets were eaten raw with onions and lettuce, or mixed in broth.
One of the most important aspects of the flower is its relation to human respiration. The flower uses a great deal of carbon dioxide which animals exhale as waste matter. In return plants discharge oxygen to the air.
The flower which has come to be taken for granted has more purpose than merely to grow, and be beautiful.Perhaps the lilies of the field, contrary to popular opinion, do "toil."
Transfigurations
What is a year?
A year is:
Winter--white and lovely; Snow and cold. Spring--fresh and green; Flowers and new. Summer--exciting and fun; Hot and humid. Fall--death and bare; Colorful and romantic. Is it more?
It can be. A year can be Whatever one wants it to be.

Debaters To Meet
( from p. I)
Debating on the trade policy, the students were judged primarily by University of Nebraska students. Each debater was judged on several qualifications, delivery, presentation of case, skill in analysis, and skill in rebuttal. The Lincoln 1:lighSchool debate team consists of eight memberswhoare recegnized as the Varsity team because they have been debating a year or more. LHS's debate team participated in eight tournaments this current school year. Their season record is 37 wins and 50 losses.

Speal{ing, Writing Communication
Sometimes
In strict est terms, language is communication by the spoken word. A written exponent of a 1 anguage is a substitute for an absent speaker. Throughout the ages ci viiizations, some highly developed, have risen and fallen and with them their spoken and written languages . Written languages extended from word-pictures, to complicated combinations of lines and marks, to letters representing vowel and consonant sounds.
One of the most famous ancient writing forms is the Egyptian hieroglyphs. Long misunderstood and undeciphered, the meaning of the figures remained a mystery until after 1798. At this time, French soldiers (on an ill-fated expedition against British colonies) excavating at the mouth of the Nile found what came to be known as the Rosetta Stone. The slab of black basalt was divided into three parts, two were unfamiliar but th e th i r d p an e 1 w.as Greek.
Hieroglyphic writing had died OUt about 394 A. D. T5 easier and quicker writing methods had been developed by the Egyptians based on the hieroglyph picture writing.
EGYPTIANSHORTHAND
One of these forms is called hieratic and may be compared to ordinary handwriting. The second form, demotic, is a kind of speedwriting or shorthand.
The hieroglyph word pictures and demotic were the Egyptian forms appearing on the Rosetta Stone.
Jean FrancoisChampallion is the man usually ·connected with the deciphering of the Egyptian writing from the Rosetta Stone His v.ork was made public in 1822. He is considered the founder of modern Egyptology.
Cuneiform is another ancient writing which is quite different-looking from the Egyptian hieroglyphs. Its originators seemed to have lived at the head of what is now the Persian Gulf. Sometime after 3000 B.C. This

Conquering nations generally disregarded and usually destroyed the civilizations they encountered. Such was the case that clouded the history and decipherment of cuneiform for centuries.
After years of trial and error, hit and miss deciphering, th e combined efforts of many schblars brought about complete translation of cuneiform in 1846.
Today many ancient tongues ~emain puzzles to modern philologists. Etru s can an ancient Italian language, after 2000 years is still undeciphered.
The hieroglyph writing of the highly developed Mayan civilization still resists any attempt at elucidation.
The characters, al though hieroglyphic in nature are very unlike the Egyptian glyphs.
MYSTERYOF INDUSVALLEY
In the Indus Valley of India, language evidence of a completely unknown race and civilization has been found. Circumstances provide little hope of translation.
Another strange find was made on Easter Island in the Polynesians in the late 1800' s. Large stone figures and huge wooden tablets bearing inscriptions were found. However , the natives had forgotten how to read them and tit.ere are conflicting stories as how they came to be on Easter Island and when they arrived.
There are many theories as to how man began to talk. Some say he instinctively made sounds, others say he imitated animal sounds, and still others believe he involuntarily spoke through excessive physical exertion.

sophomore home room classes research possibilies in various vocational fields.
Vocation Study Occupies Sophs
Since a vocational decision is probably the most important decision in a high school student's life, sophomore home rooms are currently studying vocations.
The Lincoln High Sophomore counselors are Mrs·. Martha Cline, Mr. Windle Reel, Miss Lois Schwab, and Mrs. Alice Updegra:ft.
As part of this study, students are doing intensive research in the library on their occupational preferences, which gives them a pattern for investigations of other careers. Past experience has shown this study to be of considerable interest and value to students.
The purpose of the vocations study is to enable students to see the opportunities available to them for the future.
GOALSAREGUIDE
If occupational goals are thought about early, they can be a guide to the type and
amount of education to plan for.
However, a vocational decision cannot be made at a particular moment. It is the result of a learning process spanning a number of years.
LIBRARYIS INFORMATIVE
The sophomore counselors feel the Lincoln High School library offers adequate information to make this study interesting and valuable. The library has current information on about 250 vocational areas in foldersofpamphlets and clippings.
In addition to this there are three specialized sets and approximately 300 books of fiction, non-fiction, and biography which give a better understanding of careers.
SAFETYCOMMITTEEACTS
Parking Lot Organized; Congestion Disappears
"we want to commend the willingness of the students of Lincoln High School in considering other people in organizing the parking lot," states Mr. Guilford Burnham, co-sponsor of the Safety Committee.
To help accomplish the goal of the program, alleviating congestion, the committee has formulated the following rules:
(1) cars may not block others
(2) traffic lanes must be kept open
(3) a car is to be parked within 3 feet of the next car.
Members of the committee are Marcia Ault, president; Sheryl Rotter, vice-president; Carolyn Corcoran, secretary; Bill Andersen, Sheryl !j:berly Denise Franklin, Maurice Geer, Judy Knaub, Judy Mathena, Mike Patzer, Jane Proctor, Gloria Roof. Mr. Guilford Burnham, Mr. Darrell Grell, and Mr. J. D. Young are sponsors.
ACTIONTAKEN
"The parking lot is being checked each day to spot
violators," says Mr Burnham "Only seven were found on the first day of checking. Violators are call-slipped and asked to move or properly park their cars.
"Each name and car license is kept in a file for further reference. If a violation is repeated, the p~rents of the driver are called. Habitual violators will be referred to Mr. William Pfeiff for action. It is hoped that students will not have to be called to move their car or be restrained from parking in the lot."
MOREPROBLEMS

Don't fool yourself. There is no one who cannot be rep I aced and everyone should understand this.

Adult View of Teens
The critical view some adults take concerning teenagers and the future of today's youth may be either suppl anted or intensified by teenagers the11selves. Though many adults have a happy relationship with youth or a certain young person, a disrespectful wayof thinking maybe established by a mat icious or thoughtless act of one teenager.
Although it is only a minority of teenagers who commit ;najor offences, these acts are widely publicized. The wide pub}i city given these crimes creates a biased opinion of youth. This is due to the fact that radio, television, and newspapers, through theLr coverage, often cast a shadow on the constructive things teenagers do.
But these agencies can't be held entirely responsible, for many times there ts a 1ack of constructive activities to report and a crime or some out-of-the-ordinary event makes for better interest. ~·Iith these manymeans of publicity, the average person can't Le blamed for for;ning an opinion that isn't complimentary to youth.
Of course. teenagers resent such an attitude, but they must admit that all of these claims are not based on biased grounds, Teenagers know that there are those, whoby their immature actions, give a bad name to the age group.
If the teenagers of today wish to erase a bad public image that they feel is not representative of their group, there must be a whole-hearted effort on the part of each young person to produce a wholesome pub! ic ideal. Sinee the reputation teenagers gain is not only from misdemeanors but also stems from thoughtless and careless acts, a teenager could do much to earn a good reputation for his age class by being more considerate and respectfu I.
With these efforts teenagers may be able to hush the cry of "de! inquency.11
"What! Wear contacts! I wouldn't put one of those things in my eye if you paid me."
This is a common reaction of nonwearers of contact lenses, newest invention for the "hard-of-seeing. "
But ask a person who wears them, and he will tell you that he wouldn't trade back to glasses for the world.
CONTACTSDEFINED
"Whatare contacts?"
They are small personalized lenses, precision fitted to the pupil of the eye and polished so fine, they cause little or no irritation. These small plastic or glass lenses take the place of conventional glasses.
"Why wear contact lenses?"
Contacts are perfect for the athlete. They are convenient and safe. They solve the problem of frequently having to send glasses to the optical shop.
Although it is not necessarily true that "men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses, " a young lady may discover that her appearance has improved by removing her glasses.
Eye doctors may recommend contact lenses to some people on the theory that many cases of myopia (nearsightedness) may be prevented from growing worse. Contacts also allow a better field of vision than do conventional glasses.
PERIODOF ADJUSTMENT
Every wearer lives through a period of adjustment which may last from a few days to three months or longer.
During this period, ·one may encounter many trying experiences.
A wearer may complain of his eyes fogging. This is a condition which will pass as the wearer becomes accustomed to the lenses.
A wearer may begin rubbing his eyes too hard and discover that his contact has slipped off the pupil down between the eye lid and the eye ball. Panic may follow the first time this happens although it isn't really serious at all. The lens can easily be pinched back into place.

students who wear contacts and al though they all are very happy with them, they can all recall some very disconcerning experiences.
Dianne Haase remembers the time she dropped a contact while dancing and it was crushed underfoot.
John Dzerk has had a bit of hard luck with his contacts. One time his brother hit him in the eye with a mudball and he found one of the lenses stuck in the mudball.
Then there was the time John dived into the swimming pool and played around before he realized he wasn't seeing too well. You guessed it. Little Johnny lost both his contacts.
One absent-minded wearer put both lenses in the same eye! Evidently he hadputboth lenses in the same container after removing them the ~ime before.
Not realizing that both lenses were in the same eye, the wearer quickly staged an all-out search for the missing lens.
Finally convinced it had been lost in the bathroom at home, the wearer decided to remove the one lens he thought was in his left eye and to his relief, two lenses popped out.

Girls, today ourr topic of discussion will b1e "ttow to get a date for tlhe prom." This information comes as a public service from the Advocate Staff.
There are several effective ways to get a date. The first of these is to play hard to get. Tell the boy that you wouldn't go out with him if he were the last person on earth. This method has good results except for the few boys who think you actually mean it, and don' t ask YlU again.

Janet recalls her most embarrassing moment as the time "during a psychology class, while attempting to pull down the window shade, I ripped the shade completely off. 11 Janet likes the "wide Tange of academic::; · and extracurricular activities offered at LHS. II

She will also miss "the wit of Miss Lorraine Strasheim, the heated discussions of debate, the subtle terror of coming unprepared to French, and Miss Clara Johnson's El la Whee le r Wi l cox conversations and criticisms. 11
Another way, is to nag and bother the poor boy until he has no choice but to ask you. (Actually, he may do it just to get rid of you.) This, too, is an excellent way to get a date; but the boy does not al ways have fun. (Of course this isn't your fa ult, since you try to make his evening more interesting by flirting with every boy there.)
A third way would be to belittle his present girl friend, so that he will think he is too good for her. This will leave the field open for you. (Be careful not to makeup any gossip about her, it may backfire!)
Always an excellent way to get a date is the pleading technique used by girls who have great stamina. It is often successful, but it makes th~ boy feel superior to you.

The great faculty and the benches by the lounge are what Gary likes best about LHS. His most embarrassing experience was when no one told him that the boys and girls had traded dressing rooms for the second opera performance. Gary's pet peeve is, "people who tell me I look like Mike Gump."

Good Luck
Here is your big chance to make good, but not the only chance. High schoo1 is comp1eted; your future and success lie ahead.
You can be a success in whatever you do if you plan your life yourself and I ead it the wayyou want. Success is what you want it to be--happi ness, contentment, money, security or an interesting job. What you do with your life is your business and the satisfaction gained will determine your measure of success.
Disappointments are inevitable and failures come, but you make the breaks. Opportunity comes as often as you want and need it.
This is the first real chance for you to prove yourself, to prove if you can accomplish all you have planned.
The chance for showing your independence is here--take it, use it. Set your goals high--for success-your success.

UAY29,
Bad Teen Traffic Record
Teenagers in the U. s. today are faced with the fact that 5,200,000, or 40 per cent of their total number are annually involved in traffic accidents. Al though Nebraska' s teenage traffic accident record is good compared with those of many states, local high school students have definite opinions concerning this crisis.
In a recent survey conducted at Lincoln High School, students were polled on four areas of teenage driving.
1. How do you feel when you hear of a traffic accident involving teenagers?
The majority of interviewees expressed sorrow for the victims, their families, arid friends.
Cathy Stilwell said, 111 feel sorry for them (the victims). It must be a ~errible strain on their parents. It's a pity that some people can• t control their actions and emotions." Linda McLaughlin expressed the views of another portion of those interviewed when she said, "When I hear of a teen accident, it makes me feel sort of sick. Although this feeling doesn't last long, I d . . " become more careful about my own n v1ng.
2. What is your attitude toward bad teenage drivers?
Bad teenage drivers in Lincoln High have the sympathy of only a small number of their contemporaries.
Bruce Staats expressed the mass opinion when he stated, "Bad drivers should have their licenses suspended. I can't see letting their weaknesses detract from the reputation of the many good drivers. " Although some of those interviewed favored only light punishment,, it was surprising to see the large number of teens in favor of license suspension.
3, Do you have any opinion as to a solution to the problem?
Possible solutions for the ever-growing problem suggested by LHS students ranged from required ori vers' education and stricter licensing tests to the currently popular idea of license suspension for all offenses. Steve Goetz said, "If drivers' education was required of all license candidates, teens might take a different view of driving and consider it a privilege and not a right as some seem to think. 11 Paul Mayfield expressed the opinion that "License tests are too easy. They are short and test only the fundamental skills and not the actual situation capabilities and preparedness of the driver. The tests would make a driver's license a more cherished possession than many seem to feel it is. 11
4. Do you drive?
Drivers and non-drivers had, on the \\hole, the same opinion concerning bad teen drivers and possible solutions.
Richard Baily, a non- driver summed up by saying, "Al though I don• t ctri ve, I know the opinions of adults when they hear of bad teen accidents and teen driving statistics. It makes me sick to think some people can be so careless and have such little regard · for the rights of others."
Immaturity Hidden Villain As Accident Toll Rises
Mr. Frank Marsh, secretary of the state of Nebraska, believes a teenager should qualify in three areas before he receives a license to drive. These areas are emotional stabilty, awareness of traffic laws, and theknowl· edge of driving procedures.
"A person cannot let his emotions control the manner in which he drives his car," says Mr. Marsh. 11Adults as well as teenagers are sometimes guilty of this. These persons should not have a driver' s license."
He believes that an immature attitude towards driving is the greatest cause of most teenage accidents.
11The cure for this," says Mr. Marsh, "can begin at home, where the teenager learns to drive. The temperment of a parent and the manner in which he drives the car has a great influence in a teenager's mind."
A FEWRULESTO FOLLOW
In his own home, Mr. Marsh has a set of driving rules each member of the family must follow. Each child must first complete driver education. Next, the individual must prove able to act mature enough to use good judgement at the wheel. The individual must compensate for the increase of insurance. He must carry no more than five passengers. The last law is that no one is permitted to drive the car through the local teen hangout. Mr. Marsh added that he doesn't mind paying for the gas in the family car as long as the privilege to drive is not abused.
Joy, Sorrow, Pride Of High Memories Characterize School Days
The most carefree days of our lives are drawing to an end. In their place will come the responsibilities and rewards of adult life.
As seniors, we are leaving the place where we have spent the three most wonderful years of our lives--Lincoln High School • Here we may have chosen the vocation we will follow, met the person we will marry; we have formed relationships we will remember!
Let's look back at our three years at LHS. Our first year was filled with new experiences when, as sophomores, we began to establish ourselves in school life.
Although Coed Counselors introduced the sophomore girls to LHS at a tea, both boys and girls were equally confused when the first day came, Swarms of people made the network of halls a maze through which we had to plot our course to classrooms. Five minutes didn't seem long enough to find the rooms that first day---How things have changed! Now we have time to talk in the hall, comb our hair, and go to our lockers before the bell rings.
We will never forget the size of LHS. Then we found it was too small to accommodate all of its students in one assemblY---it took two. The activities arm was filled at pep rallies as the voices of 2000 Links rocked the building. We could outyell any school and usually win the game, too.
The Links were on the move in '60, chalking up an 8-1 football season, A 9-0 gymnastic record making us State Champs.
We gained more school spirit each day; the lounge and patio provided refreshing diversion through the day, and plays and games brought school spirit even into our out-of-school time.
The assembly introducing the French AFS students broadened our knowledge of France and the French people and left us hoping we could be an AFS student when we were juniors---and we couldn't wait to be juniors
We found many clubs and classes that interested us; complete biology and language laboratories made it fun to do in-class work, even though we were less enthusiastic about the "tons" of homework we had to do on our own time.
We had our first experiences with TV teachiag and large classes---new improved ways of teaching have always been a part of LHS administrative tradition.
We shall al ways remember the little things a bout our sophomore year, too ••. the TB tests, the dental checks, the second period sound announcanents, and the music in the lounge.
Spring vacation cameand went; soon the year endedwe were juniors!
Our junior year was a year of repeated pleasures. Again we noticed how large LHS was, but instead of it frightening us, we were proud to have so many Links on our side.
New students were added to our chain and we noticed how easy it was to tell sophomores from older students, by their scurrying in the halls, (We knew that "we dido' t look that way when we were sophomores, we must have looked like juniors or seniors--at least! 11 )
We joined more clubs and committees this year-girls tried out for Cheerleader, Aqualinks, Twirlers, or for. parts in the school plays. Boys were busy earning letters in sp:)rts and working for their 11L11 pins (so were the girls).
The art show, featured in the lounge, consisted of work by talented student artists. Other students showed their ability by acting in the All-school
play, Mummers t>lay, or participating in Joy NightKLHSChannel '62.
We had winning games and our share of losses but all games were fun for loyal students. w~ yelled ourselves hoarse at games, sat through rain and cold to see the team in action~ and thrilled to the Homecomming ceremonies and the crowning of the All-Sports King and Queen.
School life was about the same, we still had assemblies begun with the traditional "call to Colors, 11 and pep rallies ,,.arked by "sweet Georgia Brown" and "oh, WhenThe Links!"
"stand up for Lincoln" echoed through the cafeteria on game days and red and black pepper outfits were common in the halls.
Soon we would become those Peppers, 11L 11 men, and loyal senior spectators.
It was here~ the year that would climax all of our schooling---our Senior Year.
There were more elective classes we could take to make our year more enjoyable,, but there were a few required courses that were difficult. Will we ever forget the long hours we spent toiling over our senior theme--or the oral reports we had to give in modern problems?
Debate class took some people's time; for others it was chemistry, higher math, or advanced language cl asses.
Some of us were rewarded for our work in drA.matics, art, and speech by being participants in Fine Arts Festival.
A new first was reached in the field of sportsit was the first season the LHS did not play its home games in the LHS Oval--they were played at Seacreast Field. But the Oval didn't lie unused--this place where thundering students formerly cheered LHS teams on to victory became the trainine: e:round for new sports heroes.
Christmas time at LHS was different from Christ mas time any where else. The art class made presents from items that had at home and disiilayed them in a case by the auditorium to give others ideas for inexpensive gifts. There were Christmas trees in the homerooms and in the auditorium and decorations on all of the classroom doors. The Octets caroled in the halls to put us in the Chirstmas spirit. The music in the lounge was not of the usual type, Christmas songs were played there too. In the future when we hear a Christmas song--how could we help but think of LHS.
The Junior-Senior prom will be remembered whenever the work "dance" or party" comes into the conversation because it had all of the essentials of fun·--colored lights, balloons. and lively music.
And what of the riotous fun of Hobo Day-and night! The pink (,>yes, blank minds and tired bodies resulting from the slumber parties where no one slept, and the cancing parties where everyone danced. Costumes ranged from those of the traditional hobo to frogmen, soldiers , beatniks, and combinations of many other characters.
In great contrast were the "sunday bests" \\Orn on Color Day. Sniling, proud, the seniors walked in procession to be honored as a class, or for some, to accept personal awards..
The later part of our senior year was brightened by a baseball game that made us State Baseball Champs---we will remember LHS for this
Hobo day, the All-sports banquet, the JuniorSenior Prom, Color Day, and most of all Graduation day, these events will stay with us for a long time, for memories die slowly. The tradition of LHS will live as long as there are Lincoln High students who will remember their years here.

Lonely Items Find Refuge 'Orphanage' In Lincoln High
Many lonely and forlorn gloves, mittens, scarves, sweaters, and jackets have found refuge in Lincoln High' s " " orphanage. Room 138, commonly called the bookroom, houses this unfortunate conglomeration of lonesome articles. Their owners have apparently given them up and they have found a temporary home in the LHS lost and found department.
ORPHANAGE
Most of the transients are single gloves or mittens who once kept hands warm in the co 1 d wi n t er. 0 the rs a r e scarves·that had covered mademoiselle's bubble tresses, sweaters and jackets formerly worn to school, billfolds, shoes, and dog tags carrying identification of some one "unknown" person. Also on file are pairs of glasses which might have helped someone see better!
FORGETFULLNESS
Forgetful females supply many lost items. They lose pink lightning, honey bees,
and rosy futures--all lipsticks. In addition several make-up items such as powder compacts, mascara, and comb, enhance the contents of another box of valuables.
Girls aren't the only absent-minded ones though. The boys misplace knives, jackets, and watches. They have also been known to lose basketball games and wrestling meets but these present no storage problems.
The lost-articles situation is usually remedied by students discovering their loss. Some owners' faces have become very familiar to Mrs. Pearl Caddy, head "guardian." Many students expect her to know where their lost i terns can be found when they' re not in her custody.
Room 138 is open to all owner-seekers from 8 to 4: 30. At the end of the year, unclaimed lost and found items are given to the salvation Army or Goodwill.
Owners of lost articles, won't you please claim what is yours?
Deep, Dark Secrets May Lurk in Lockers
He pulls to the curb, sets the brake, turns off the lights, kills the engine. Dead q11iet--only a protesting cricket across the street by the ball park violates the silence. Not a soul in sight.
His feet scrape over grit and muddy tracks on the moist stone steps. Good! ... the place is still open.
* * *
The halls are mute until the heels of his shoes break the hush with metal Ii c echoes. Floor and wall tiles reflect the errie yellow of the overhead lights and cloak the halls in emptiness. There it is number 2011.
* * *
Damp, hot hands ply the combination lock and feel the pins fall into place. A final click and the locker is open. It' s a mess, papers and books everywhere. That box there. Yes, that's it. He opens the dull gray box and glances inside. Ugh! Might as well get the thing over with. He pl aces the box under his arm, closes the locker with a dull thud.
Shuffling back down the steps, he feels much lighter.
A slight breeze has risen and the belligerent cricket across the street is now quiet.
* * *
Pushing t.he box under the back seat, he slides into the driver's seat. He crawls to the intersection, and after a wait at the light , swings to the right and out to the ribbon-like parkway.
D Street ... yeah, that's as good a place as any. He dips to the right and drives a few blocks--away from the trafficon the parkway. Parking in the middle of the block with lights off, he takes the box in hand and walks hurriedly to the corner.
Locating the slit in the curb, he empties the contents of the box into the sewer.
* * * Back in the car, exhausted, he slouches in the seat, his head against the window. What a job! It was either get rid of it or be up a creek when the j ani tor found it in his locker. But of course, it wasn't really his fault. He thought the biology teacher was going to call for that eig three weeks ago!
'35 Ford Personality Has Plus
By Tom McGinty
Is it possible for a nonIi ving machine to have a personality?
My 1935 Ford does.
In the morning she seems to feel exactly like me; she knows she has to get started rut she' d rather not. It takes much prodding to bring her from blissful sleep to sputtering life.
Even after being aWlkened, she easily falls asleep again. She gives me all kinds of trouble as if saying "You woke me, so I' 11 give you a hard time. 11
Her engine dies easily, the clutch jerks badly,, and the brakes work slightly. She even tries to suffocate me by forcing thick, blue smoke into the passenger compartment.
When she' s in a good mood, though, she can compete surprisingly well with muchnewer cars. Many times they hav~ slipped into the dust as she roared triumphantly by.
Since a 1935 Fbrd is rather rare, many people look her over. She sits proudly, her grill shining making her appear to be smiling. She purrs snugly as people speak of the "good old days" she reminds them of.
Living or not she has a personality sometimes sarcastic, sometimes grand, always fun.

Makeshift Arrangement Marks Shoe Beginning
In our modern society of push button machines we often take for granted things that hundreds of years ago ( before man started keeping records), seemed to ancient man as important as the car of today is to modern man.
A basic item of apparel orginated as a piece of hide or braided grass held in place by leather cords. This makeshift arrangement marked the beginning of the shoe.
KINDSOF SHOES
Some of the earlier shoes, if seen in a social gathering today, would be very much talked about. A few of these strange-looking shoes with their even stranger-sounding names include the PAMPOOTIE, a simple sandal worn by tH'e fishermen of Western Eire.
The CRACKOWEofthe 1300' s, another type of footwear, had such a long pointed toe that a chain had to be used to hold it up so the wearer could walk!
The nucKiILL, popular during Queen Mary's reign, was made so wide that a law was passed limiting the width of its toe to six inches.
The CHOPINE was a wooden shoe with an iron ring to help its wearer lift his feet from the mud.
The JACK BOOT was a wader type boot that ended at one' s thigh. As common as the MOCCASIN is, it too, had its beginning during this period. Shoes were so important in early culture that men often gave them magical powers in stories and legends. For ex-
ample, there are the tales of Puss'n Boots, Cinderella, and the Seven League Boots. The shoe is also important in other respects. It formerly served as a symbol of rank or wealth. The wealthier or higher ranked a man was could be determined by the amount of ornaments he had on his shoes.
Al though today the shoe is used as an accessory and looked upon from the beauty point of view, the health factor has played an important part in the history of the shoe. The reason early Egyptians invented their type of shoe was to s;i ve their feet from the hot desert sands.
The climate and geographical location had and still does have much to do with the type of shoe worn throughout the world.
200 DIFFERENTOPERATIONS
Today, the making of the shoe is more complex than most people realiz'e. There are more than 200 operations, which the shoe factory di vi des into eight main departments. These eight departments are the cutting room, stitching room, the stock-fitting or sole-leather room, lasting room, the bottoming room, the making room (where the heel is attached), the finishing room, and last but not least the treeing and packing room. It' s funny how a certain article at one time can have such a high value placed on it and at another time can be just as common "as an old SHOE."

School--Or Bust
by Jerry King
Many people have to choose between walking to school and riding a school bus. This may look like a very simple choi c e to make, as walking ten miles every morning does become a bit inconvenient The bus, however, has its own problems to offer
First, you have to keep one eye on the clock, to make sure that you get to the bus stop before the bus does. You try to plan carefully so that you won' t have to wait more than two or three minutes, but you don't really expect the bus to get there when it's supposed to. If you decide to stay at home for just a few more minutes so you can read the paper, the bus is invariably on time, leaving your stop several minutes before you get there. And it' s al Wl ys fun to make a mad dash for the bus as it disappears around the next corner, chase it for four or five blocks, and then find out that it isn't even your bus.
When you finally do catch the right bus, your troubles still aren't over; you aren't past the driver yet. If your arms are full of books threatening to slide in all directions, he will insist on see- · ing your bus-pass. If you have no books or already have your pass in your hand, he won't bother to check passes that day. If you ride :a city bus you don't have to both e r with a pass, but you still have to pay your fare. Naturally, you never have the right change, and if you do, it's in the bottom of your purse. You eventually pay and embark on the next adventure-namely, getting a seat. This, too, can become both complicated and frustrating, both to you and the people behind you.
After standing there looking stupid and craning your neck for several minutes, you finally spot a seat in the back of the bus. Getting back there isn't as easy as it sounds, because the aisle
I' II carry them home with a studious look, But on the floor they'll stay.
is full of other girls loaded down with books, either trying to go somewhere or just standing. And why don't they sit down? ~ecause the seats are full of boys and their books, that's why, ~Y the time you get to that empty seat, it's no longer empty; some boy has beaten you to it. Now you resign yourself to standing all the way to school, books and all. Occasionally some boy, probably due to a mental break-down, will offer you his seat, but don't count on it.
Even if some poor, misguided boy should give you his seat, you still can't get comfortable, because three or four girls will ask you to hold their books. You could refuse, but you really couldn't be that much of a heel. Besides, if you don't take them now, you're likely to get them in a rather disorganized state the first time the bus hi ts a bump, You certainly can't expect the boys to hold them; such a thing is unheard of!
In spite of the natural male laziness, there will be about half a dozen boys standing. Free of their books (their girl friends have the books, of course), they push their way back and forth, up and down the aisle to talk to their friends, falling all over everyone else to get there. Every time the bus jerks (at · least a dozen times a minute) you get hit in the head with a book or an elbow, or else somebody falls into vour lap. This may be very flattering, but also, very uncomfortable, especially for the five foot seventh-graders, who always seem to get the two hundred pound football players draped over them. The little guys can usually manage to keep their balance.
Thoroughiy awakened, you now eagerly look forward to getting to school. Well, at least you eagerly look toW1rd to getting off the bus. Is it any wonder that you' re ready to go back to bed before the day's even started?

Mario Elin 11I' 11 never forget Lincoln High," states foreign exchange student Mario Landingin.
Mario, who will leave for his home in the Philippine Islands on June the 10th or 26th, has attended Lincoln High for a full school year through the American Field Service program.
Mario says al though he misses his family which consists of four brothers and two sisters, he would like to stay here about six more months.
SCHOOLSMOREDIFFICULT
Mario admits the school work was more difficult here and that he had hardly enough time to study while 11pl aying the _part of a diplomat." He says that although school days are longer in the Philippines, an hour is allowed for lunch.
At Lincoln High, Mario has enjoyed all sports events though he didn't understand the gameof football at first.

11The school has a varied curriculum which I think is very good.. I especially enjoyed typing because in my school, it wasn't offered, 11 Elin said.
The school spirit and emphasi~ on sports as part of school life have left a lasting impression on Elin. In Norway, students particira te in individual sports.
Elin enjoys skiing, skating,. and bicycling! "I missed skiing very much because at home my whole winter is centered a round it," she said.
Other thi~gs felt far away to her, but she discovered other interests to fill in. Before leaving for home Elin will take a bus tour to Wishington D.C. where she will have the honor of meeting the President.

Congrats to the Senior Class! we•ve finally made it. I know as we leave Lincoln High, we will take with us many many fond memories. It's going to be hard to forget things like the hot lunches and the long lunch lines and it's going to be even harder to forget the "L" men and the teams that so loyally led us to victory.
In a few years it will be exci tinw to 1 eaf through the "LINKS' and to see all the remembered faces that we used to see in the halls. Maybe we will laugh, and maype we will shed a tear. All of these events and many more will be a part of the great memories which will be ours.

Class Hosts Editor; Hears Trade Tips
Mr. Jack Hart, editorial page editor for the Lincoln Journal, recently spoke to the beginning journalism class
He gave a first-hand view of the duties of an editorial writer and his responsibility to the public.
Emphasizing that "truth is the most im9ortant facet of a good editorial," Mr. Hart stated that "real editorials are those that deal with local problems where they can exert influence."
An editorial writer must be well informed, thus he must do much reading and research.
"Every minute of the day is research for a writer," said Mr. Hart.
He commented that journalism is a field for people who are interested in it and for those who are aware of the world around them.

Another school and athletic year approaches its ending. The results posted by athletic teams at Lincoln High School areamatter of record. On the total picture, we see some improvement in some sports, some 'near-misses I in others and some real disappointments in some. "Experience is a hard ,teacher. She gives the test fi rst--the I esson afterwards."
It is the hope of the athletic staff that the athletes coming up for next year have {lained an insight into what is necessary for "winning" ex~ periences. There is no magic formula, but some of the old, tried, and standard ideas sti 11 seem to hold what answers are available. Some might be:
I. Winning is the second step. Wanting to comes first!
2. In the Space Age in which we live, a good "Power Plant" is not only important, it is essential. Be in good athletic shape on a year-round basis.
3. A good "Directional System" isneeded--it is also essential to be in shape mentally and emotionally to win ball games.
With these basic ideas it is possible to be in orbit,tokeep Lincoln High School on the comeback trail in athletics.
To those completing their Lincoln '.·Iigh School athletic career, we all appreciate your efforts and wish you well. To those in the future, set your sights; be ready physically, mentally, and emotionally to make a contribution so that when you finish Lincoln High School you can answer the question "What is your name?" in such a way that the record speaks for itself.
Let's Go Links!
