THE ADVOCATE
New Scheduling Eases Overloaded Classrooms
"Even with a slight decrease in student enrollment, a staggered plan for opening the school day has become necessary to prevent the overloading of Lincoln High School classrooms.

'Ability
11With a staggered schedule, no extra burden is placed on the teaching staff. Each faculty membermaintains his five classroom periods along with one planning period.
"By even rurther extending the school day, as many as 15 additional teachers may be hired, yielding about 75 additional classrooms. This should reduce the size of many classes to that which is considered normal-one teacher for every 30 students.
REACTIONFAVORABLE
11As far as the mechanics of the new schedule are concerned the reaction has generally been favorable."
Mr. Bogar reports that at the present time nearly 1250 students attend the 8:00 classes. The remaining students, about 1050, begin at 9: 00.

The Good Ole Days
Progress has cometo Lincoln High in an area in i ch the student body is great!y concerned, name I y, the cafeteria. The enlarged eating area, along with the new"scranble" foodserving system, has suddenly made 1unchi ng a p1easure instead of a struggle.
Nevertheless, progress takes time to catch on. On the first day, for instance bewildered students were I dumbfoundedwhentold that it was all right to go ahead in line. A year ago, such an act would have draw, the highest possible punishment --banishment to the end of a very long 1ine.
Asit al waysis withprogress, there still exists in somea tinge of nostalgia for the "goodold days" ~en 1unchwas a survival of the fittest, and on1y the qui ckest and craftiest could makethe mostof the half hour.
It beganwith the maddash fromthe room,the daring1eap dow,the steps, the last glance to establish the ~ereabouts of teachers and/or hal 1 monitors, and then the final sprint to the cafeteria. 1
During the confusion the really cunninglunch-line expert could make a sizable advancein the 1ine. Only a minuteor so after he had beendi smi ssed for lunch, this winged-footed chow-houndwas able to sit dow,with his 1unch.
But those days are long gone. The tricks ~i ch took months-evenyears --to perfect are nowuseless. How frustrating for somesenior ~o for t~ years carefully practiced his tactics·to discover there is no "trick" at al 1 to the new system. Theth ri 11 of the chase i s gone.
To Be or Not To Be
How comforting it is to be 1 i ke everyone else! What security there is in being one of a set! Whywould anyone want to be different and not be "in"? Everyone should beaconformi st!
Conformity, according to the American College Dictionary, is"correspondence in form or character." In simple terms it is "sameness" or a mass conspiracy to be alike.
Obviously, conformity is a must. Going someplace without the "group" is 1 ike handing out Goldwater booster buttons at a Democratic ral 1y. Wearing the kind of clothes that no one else wears is as "out" as a Sherman tank in a fleet of Cadillacs. Having a different idea is comparable to putting Einstein to work in a filling station. Say something original and the result would be like that of a cat trying to bark.
Oh, it's impossible to be different. Whowants to give up "belonging" just to be an individual?
Of course, long range effects of conformity must be expected. Tomorrow's I eaders wi11 be a happy group-al 1 al i ke.
Imagine not having to worry about names; people will give up trying to remember tnem because everyone wi11 look so much alike. No more quarrelI ing--everyone will think, act, and talk the same way. People could get as much out of a conversation with themselves as with other peop1e. Maybe the United States and Russia will stop trying to be better than each other and just strive-to-be 1 ike each other. What a compatible, carefree world!
Hooray for conformity!

'Squares' Just Aren't What They Used to Be
There is no place like Nebr. Dear old Nebraska U.
Where the girls are the fairest
The boys are the squarest ...
Squarest??? Today many of Nebraska's rival teams laugh upon hearing that. "square" just doesn't have the same connotation it had when the dear old Nebraska song was written.
Every day millions of people use millions of words, never conscious of the many changes in meaning they have outlived. For instance, in very early days a girl wouldn't be flattered if she were called "pretty" unless she prided herself on being "crafty."
An easy way to get your teeth knocked out in Chaucer's day was to call someone "nice," which meant "stupid" or "weak."
Today the prevailing image of an eligible bachelor is not an "unemployed farm 1 aborer or a lower vassal," and yet this is where the word started. Later, it was applied to a young man aspiring to the knighthood and even later to the more readily understood definition of a young unmarried man.
REALHOMESICKNESS
Anyone who has ever experienced "homesickness~might be interested to learn that it began as an actual disease experiencedbypeople in Switzer land in the 17th century. It seems they were used to living in high altitudes and became ill when thev came down to live in the valleys.
The word "turnpike," usually thought of today as any main highway, has an interesting story. It began as a military device--a large revolving beam with spikes on all sides. It then became "turnstile" which later was used to denote any "toll II gate whether or not it turned. Finally, "turnpike" was applied to a road having a toll gate until it evolved to its connotation today.

11DESSERT 11 IS A FRENCHWORD meaning "what comes after the table has been cl eared. " This comes from the verb desserver, "to clear the table" or literally to "de" serve. 11Fool 11 is derived from the Latin follis meaning "windbag."

Each station includes two master control uni ts which make it possible for the teacher to dictate simultaneously to the cl ass at two different rates of speed.
Listening stations save time and speed up the learning process by giving the student more time for dictation and transcribing.
The listening stations al so make it possible for an entire class to be instructed for the first part of the period after which the class may be divided in two sections for two different areas of instruction.
In the near future, it is planned to install 36 additional units in Room 117 to be used by beginning shorthand stud en ts for drill and vocabulary building. Dictation will be introduced the last six weeks of the semester.
Room 117 will also have two master control units which will p enni t beginners to work at two different rates of speed simul taneouslY.
In the near future, it is hoped to expand the use of the listening: statinns to other areas in the Business Department.

Boy for Every Sport, A Sport for Every Boy
Intramurals on a full-time basis, with a wide and varied program, were introduced to Lincoln High School in 1953 by Mr. Neal Hafemeister. Before this, a limited program consisting mainly of the major sports had been in existence.
Since 1953, Mr. Hafemeister' s program has developed to the point where it has become an intregal part of the athletic program at LHS. During the first years,
LADUKE
The first Son for 1964 is Dave LaDuke. Dave, working for his second letter in footbaJI, has also played Reserve football and with the Soph basketbal 1 team.
Dave lists his favorite pastime as messing around and girl watching, which could hinder his avowed senior goal of getting better grade&
Most of the time, Dave admits, he likes the coaches and teachers best at Lincoln High.
He is in the Business Amiini strati on Curriculum and plans to go on to college after graduation.
This Lincoln High Senior feels that participation in gports has helped him to make many new friends.
the intramural program primarily included individual competition but today it also includes team competition.
As late as 1958, Lincoln High School, along with Boy' s Town, were the only two high schools in the state to have a full-time intramural program and director.
In 1959, Lincoln Southeast added intramurals to its athletic program and two years later Lincoln Northeast added the program.
Since then the three schools have carried on an extensive extramural program.
LEAGUEBASIS POSSIBLE
With the future construction of East High School, the extramural program will again be enlarged with competition possibly being on a league basis.
The intramural program at LHS is on a nine-months basis which includes activities every Saturday morning during the school year plus Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter vacations schedules.
The total numberof participants in LHS's program runs into the thousands during each school year.
TAPP
Herman Tapp, who is in the Business Administration Curriculum, is currently in his third year of Varsity football and his third year as a starter. He has al so parti cipated in L Club, Joy Nite, Reserve track, Lounge O>mmittee, and Boys Glee.
11The thrill of carrying the ball" makes football Berm's favorite gport.
His most memorable moment in sports will come when the Links take state this year. Berm, whose senior goal is to have fun Hobo Day, plans to attend a Big Ten university. He likes the fine kids and coaches at Lincoln High and believes parti cipation in sports has helped him in innumerable waYs.
Since 1953, the intramural program has included all the major sports plus the following activities: bowling, weightlifting, social dancing, badminton, table tennis , volleyball, and cards.
The intramural program has been responsible for the equipping and operation of the body-conditioning room located in the Activities Building and the sponsorship of the after-game Hi-Spot dances.
Mr. Hafemeister comments, "As long as Lincoln High School continues to expand in the number of students, more interest will necessitate an expanded program since the interscholastic program is limited to the number of participants."
The motto of the intramural program is, 11A Boy for Every Sport, and a Sport for Every Boy. II
Links Mark Impressive, Face Rugged Northeast
0. NORTH
Lincoln High lost its first game of the year to a strong and determined Omaha North squad. The Links started strong in the first quarter, taking a North punt on the North 40 yard lineandmarching in for a touchdown. Jim Riggins earring the ball the final 8 yards. The try for extra point was wide.
After a see-saw battle in the second period, the Links picked up in the third where they left off in the first. With Henry Jackson and Herman Tapp -going wide and Riggins shooting up the middle, the Links gained consistent first downs until Riggins scored on a wedge from 1 yard out. The all important try for extra point was again no good.
With about 7 minutes left in the third quarter, North started its drive. Dick Davis, 202-pound fullback, crashed consistently for good yardage; North drove in for its first 6 points, and the try for extra point was good. Late in the fourth period, Lincoln High stopped a North drive on the Links 20-yard line but coul dn' t get a drive going. Frank Brill punted out to the North 40 yard line, and with 2:02 left in the game Davis' running and Luedke' s pass catching ended in a touchdown with 40 seconds r011aining. The extra point was good as the Links fell 14-12.
HASTIN{;S
The Links continued their scoring spree in the second game of the season as they trampled Hastings, 42-0. Playing on a muddy field on the Hastings College campus, the Links completely dominated the game, scoring twice in every quarter but the third.
Henry Jackson kept his 10-yard per carry ~verage and also contributed three touchdowns. Kent Radke, Frank Brill, and Dave Will Fall Runners Start

also scored. Apenalty erased Galen Hodges' touchdoMJ. Each member who suited up saw considerable action. The Links were perfect on th~ir conversion tries, making 6 of 6. Bill Bauer kicked for four, and Sam Beechner and Charlie King each ran for the other two.
A strong Lincoln High line held Hastings to 44 yards rushing, and O yards passing. 0. CENTRAL
A speedy backfield and a stiff defense proved to be the winning combination as Lincoln High opened the 1964 football season with a stunning 31-6 defeat of Omaha Central.
Although the Links fell behind 6-0 early in the first quarter, a strong rally left no doubt of who was in charge. Juniors Henry Jackson, who amassed nearly hal f the total rushing yardage, along with Jim Riggins, Charles Garret and Hennan Tapp, senior, kept the Links on the move.
Dick Marshall and Dave LaDuke led a strong Lincoln High defense as it completely bottled up the Central ground attack, holding them to a minus-seven yards rushing and four first downs.

~at is a I ibrary? It is a place where students can ful fi 11 their curiosity with technical books, consider world problems through current newspapers, or just relax reading mysteries. But i rresponsi bl e students and laughter, addedtobooksandknow1edge, produce an ineffective Ii brary.
All too often, a I ibrary, instead of an atmosphere of learning and thinking, has an air of suppressed revolution. All too often, it isso noisy and unsettled that serious students find other places to work, and the value of the I ibrary is lost.
The 1 ibrarian, whose job is to aid and co~nsel students in I ibrary use, is many times forced to be overly stern, thus losing coktact with students. I f th i s con d i ti on per s i st s the 1i brari an becomes mereI y a babysitter.
But, the effective, inspiratiokal appeal of I ibraries should not be overlooked. Lincoln High's I ibrary, used constantly by students, is just such a place where students can study. It is not and has never been a pl ace for fun-seekers to gather.
Lincoln High students enter the I ibrary with sincere attitudes. They know what to expect from the Jibrari an, and she knows what to expect from them. A personal interest is taken in each serious student who uses the library. He is given help any time he needs it.
Besides the soothing atmosphere and a good 1ibrarian, the Link's 1ibrary possesses something else .•. books, books, and more books. Every taste can be suited. Si nee there are many kinds of reference books, research can be precise and comp I ete in just about any field. It would. therefore, be much more convenient for a student to look in the Lincoln High Ii brary for books than to go to a pub! i c 1i brary.
Pamphlets, current magazines, and encyclopedias, which may be checked out for home use, are available. For the student whois thinking about the future, therearemore than a hundred new books and pieces of resource material on col I eges, careers, and jobs. For the student who wants to relax, there are a great many interesting books.
The Lincoln High School Library makes another contribution to the school; it is open from 7:11,5a.m. to 11,:30p.m. on school days and is open all lunch periods for students' use.
An effective 1 ibrary needs more than just books, it needs cooperation. The LHSI ibrary has this. }f.

11Being awarded a superior rating in acting at the Fine Arts Festival II rates as Ric' s most memorable moment. He is well pleased that Lincoln High has finally gotten a new stage. Ric finds his pet peeve to be "barbers." As the prime goal for this year Ric hopes "to understand Project English. 11 His final statement is "believe the seniors when they tell you to have a good time in high school because it really does go fast! 11

"Telling someone my problems" is her favorite pastime. After graduation, Paula who is in the Business Aanini stration Curriculum, plans to enter the University of Nebraska. Paula leaves this message for underclassmen "school can be fun if you let it! 11
"The variety of extracurricular activities available to all students" is especially suited for Thumbnai 1 er Keith Wi11 i s ..
Keith' s Ii st of extracurricular acti vi ti es includes Student Council, choir, Madrigals, Mummers, International Club, which he serves as president, and participation in Mummers and all-school plays in his junior year.

His most memorable moment came when the phone rang andhewas told he had been elected to Student Council. Keith' s future pl ans include attending the University of Nebraska and becoming an architect.
Our next Thumbnail er, Denise Franklin, admires "the friendly kids and the numerous opportunities available" best about Lincoln High.
She is active as president of Future Nurses Club and is a member of Peppers. She has also served in County Government Day and attended Girls' State.

i GALOSHES WITH 'ZIP-ZING' LEDTO ZIP IN EVERYTHING
Have you ever had a zipper jam and wished they never had been invented? Everybody has, but can you imagine life without them? We would be back to the era of buttons. and bows.
· Actually zippers , as we know them, have been around for only 50 years. In 1891 Whitcomb Judson (who' s he?) had the basic idea. His invention was a crude affair of hooks and eyes on chains with
a clasp for automatically hooking and unhooking. It was so unique the Patent Office was unable to find a prototype in its files.
Judson's "clasp Locker and Unlocker for Shoes," as he called it, appealed to Lewis Walker, a lawyer and business friend. He felt it was so practical he formed a company to prodiJce it.

"I guess some people just 1 ike to be different."
By 1905, the zipper had been improved (the eyes were smaller and attached to a tape) so it couldbeused in clothing. It became known as the "rCUrity Placket Fastener" and could be purchased for 35 cents from numerous door-todoor salesmen. It enjoyed little success, however, due to the fact it often popped open when the 1 ady sat down.
INTERLOCKINGTEETH
The small demandfor zippers caused Judson to call it quits. Gideon Sundback, a General Electric engineer, was hired to take his place. Sundback improved zippers somewhat, but it wasn't until 1913 that they became the fastener we know today. He revolutionized the industry by using interlocking teeth and 1nventing the machinery to produce them. Because of their former reputation of sporadic good behavior, zippers sold slowly at first. If it hadn't been for R.J. Ewig they might have never caught on. His ingenuity produced zippered money belts for sailors. This led to zippers in gloves, tobacco pouches, and so on. "Zippers" weren' t actually known as "zippers" for some time. B.F. Goodrich started it with new galoshes closed by a slide fastener.
The company wanted a name with "zip and zing" so the v.ord "zipper" came into being. Al though the name was patented for B. F. Goodrich galoshes, the public adopted it for all slide fasteners and it became a general term.
WIDEUSES
During the 1920's, zippers became a permanent fixture on women's clothes and by 1930 they had replaced buttons on both men's and women's garments.
Other improvements, like a cl asp that locked into pl ace and the separating zipper, stimulated its popul ari ty. It is reported the zipper had 123 uses during World War 11.
One of the latest developments is nylon teeth that make zippers daintier and "unstickable." A zipper with rubber teeth has even been invented to use in ocean and outer space equipment.

Mr. William Bogar, principalofLincoln High School, evaluated the applications and cut the list from 30 to 14.
After these 14 students were interviewed, the list was cut to six semi finalists. A final conference with these six dropped the number to four ---one of whom was Jim. The final decisions were then in the hands of the AFS committee.
GLOOMCHANGESTO JOY
Jim waited patiently, he reports, until June 12, 1964, when he received a letter telling him there was no room for him in the program. However, .the very next day, June 13, he got a telegram saying plans were changed and he had been accepted.
Jim' s only emotion on this occasion, he recalls, was 11happi ness" ---and why not?!
On July 2, heleftNewYork, one of 54 destined for Brazil. The group flew the entire di stance in about 14 hours ---stopping only once at Trinidad, Tobago.
BRAZILIAN11FAMILY 11
Jim's AFS family was Senor and Senorita Francisco C. Schmidt. He had one sister and three brothers. The old· est, Tony, was 16.
At Lincoln High, Jim had studied French for tv.o years. However, this knowledge didn't help Jim in Brazil for there he had to speak Portuguese. This 111 anguage barrier" was Jim' s only real problem.
Jim spent most of his time with his AFS family, but he did manage to get into activities with the other repre· sen ta ti ves.
He visited Sao Palo, Brasilia, and Rio de Janeiro, among other places of interest.
TIMETOOSHORT
Jim notes that the social life in Brazil is "more of a group affair than couples." Jim also remarked that "whenever you meet anyone you always shake hands ---morning, noon, andnight." His only regret is that this memorable experience was "too short. 11 He was in Brazil for two months.
Jim feels his greatest reward in being an AFS representative is that he "learned much about other people. 11 11!' m going back as soon as I can," he declares, which sums up how Jim feels about his foster familyandBrazil.
Jim hopes "more persons can be involved in such a program. Its a very memorable and rewarding experience."
COVERMASKS ABHORRED BOOK
Pastel green grade books with white spirals are this year replacing the drab brown, black-spiraled books that served Lincoln teachers for many years.
The spiral this year is 1 arger, penni tting ( as teachers point out) the books to be opened wider without the problem of crumpled pages.
There could be a psychological approach to these new, aesthtic books; grading won't b e qui t e so p ai n fu l - - f o r teachers or students?
PERPETUALODYSSEY
by Randy Rhody
For seemingly endless time, Towering mountains I climb. I swim across seas, Uproot trees, Endure infinite trials, And run for hundreds of miles Across desert sand And ice-covered land. Dragons I fight, And prevent the night By stopping the sun. And when this is done And al 1 is di mini shed, My homeworkis finally finished.
And what do I do Whenmy homeworkis through?
I clen:h my fists and suppress the rage and silently count to one million one thousand one hundred and ten, For tomorrow I know I must do it all over again.
Jim displays one of the mementoes J•.f his trip to Brazil, a "mate tea gourd. 11 )I. )(,,.

Emphasizes Safety Problem
"An unusual situation," is the way Mr. William Pfeiff, dean of boys, described the recent fire at Lincoln High. 11If the scare did nothing more, it emphasized the importance of keeping access lanes open to emergency vehicles."
Six fire trucks answered the call to the school after smoke had appeared at the southwest corner of the building where it was infiltrating some of the classrooms.
After an inspection by fire o ffi ci al s, it was determined that the source of the trouble was in the basement machine shop where insulation was being burned from copper wiring. The smoke was coming through a ventilation shaft on the roof.
The entire school population, aware that there was some kind of emergency, cleared the building quickly and efficiently, even though the alarm sounded as classes WP.repassing.

That Wonderful Year
Sports Spotlight Links In Title-Filled Year
In its long and impressive athletic history, Lincoln High School has produced many championship teams. The Links' athletic teams have compiled great records since the beginning of the competitive sports program.
However, while many early Nebraska prep powerhouses disappeared in the 1930' s and 40' s Lin coln High ' s greatest years were yet to come.
At the end of the 1941-42 athletic season, LHS was holder of the best overall athletic record for one year ever seen in the state. The ' 42 champion ship ledger showed state titles in football, basketball, track, and swimming.
Yet this impressiv e, seemingly untouchabl e record was topped, 13 years later, by the g reatest single athletic year ever posted by a Nebraska high school.
FOOTBALLHEADEDSEASON
The sport which started this outstanding year was, traditionally enough, football, The Links gridmen under Coach Bill Pfeiff swept untourhed throug11 a typically tough schedule, ending with a 9-0 record, to take the mythical state football crown.
OmahaCentral, Omaha South, Omaha North, Omaha Tech, Sioux City Central, North Platte, Grand Isl and, Scottsbluff, and Lin c oln Northeast ( by a score of 60 - 0), all fell to the invincible Links
The LHScross country team, coached by Harold! Scott, captured the next state championship.
In the following 1954-55 basketball season, the Links picked up still another championship, finishing with a 16-0 mark and the number one berth in the State Top Ten, only to be upset, 47-42, by Creighton Prep in the final game of the state meet.
Coach Phil Sprague' s gymnastic team won its fourth straight optional division state title in 1955, and finished second in the novice class.
The Lincoln High Varsity swimming team, coached by Harry Kuklin, won the 1955 state meet at Nebraska University Coliseum pool, finishing 22 points ahead of Boys Town .
MOREVICTORIES
The coming of spring continued the amazing championship record posted during the winter months. Links' golfers journeyed to Holdrege on April 15, and returned with the fifth Lincoln High state championship of the year.
State championship number six was taken by the Links tennis squad, coached by Roy Colson which captured the title with a victory in the last set of the meet.
The great championship year was climaxed by the winning of the 1955 state baseball crown, as LHS defeated Onaha Holy Name in the title game.
In the 10 sports sponsored by the School Activities Association, the final tally for the year was seven state championships - football, cross-country, swimming, gymnastics, tennis, golf, baseball, and a near miss in the state basketball meet.
THATWASA WONDERFULYEAR--1954-55!

The cross country team with but two returning lette:nnen, Aldis Augstums and Larry Mowre r, pl aced fourth in a tight finish behind Hastings, NorthPlatte, andGrandisland as th e newly fO :nned Trans-Nebr ask a Conference opened c ompetition.
Although Augstums, and Mowrer perfonned well in the new conferen c e meet, Coach Harold Scott feels his team "lacks th e depth to be a big threat in the state meet, with Omaha North, Bishop Ryan, and Omaha Central heading the list of con tenders. "
In city competition, the Links have been unbeatabl e
The harriers have copped the title th e past three years and are pl a.Ying the favorites' With the new conference setup, Scott thinks the great competition of Omahaschools in the Inter-City will be missed but "Grand Island and Hastings should give good opposition in the years to come.
Five Links Appear On Radio Voice
Five Lincoln High stum nts appeared on the panel of 11The Voice of the Young Citizen" on KFOR radio Sunday night. They are Marge Angle, Dave Beckman, Kris Gulley, Vern Jewi tt and Paul Stanton. They discussed "Does the United States Have the Right to Intervene in Other Nation' s Problems?"
This was the first of 15 weekly stum nt programs for stucb nts of Lincoln's five high schools which will deal with the discussion of important pro bl ems of the day.
GRANDISLAND
A battered but willing Lincoln High football squad overcame favored Grand Isl and, Fri day, 20-0. Bolstered by a strong defensive line, which kept the Islanders bottled up most of the night, the Links put on enough of an offensive showing to dominate most of the game.
Replacing Lonnie TeSell e, sidelined early in the game Jack Galusha, who started defensively at safety, came in and became the main ball carrier.
Jim Riggins, who scored the first touchdown on a long run up the middle, was fo reed out of action and will be unavailable for an indefinite period. Also missing because of injuries were Henry Jackson and Di ck Marshall.
Frank Brill slipped behind the Grand Island secondary and ran 52 yards for a touchdownwith a SamBeechner pass.
Late in the game Galusna completed the scoring on a pitchout around end.
Guard Rod Ahl berg al so entered the scoring column, recovering a Lincoln High fumble in the end znne for an extra point.

The Years OJ
Northeast Number-one-ranked Lincoln Northeast strengthened its hold on the top spot by handing Lincoln High a 26-6 defeat.
Northeast's Jack Ketterer intercepted three Sam Beechner passes, which eventually resulted in two touchdowns, as the Rockets built up too much of a lead to be headed. Bob Scott ca.pi tali zed on the Links' mistakes as he di rected the LNE attack.
A leaky Lincoln High defense resulted in ho touchdown passes and t'\IDlong scoring drives, which were highlighted by the running of Bob Scott and Brice Doeble. On the receiving end of the passes were Doug Campbell and Paul Topliff
The Lincoln High offense didn't do much better as it failed to maintain any consistent drives.
Jim Riggins blasted up the middle for the Links' only score.
Although the Links were down only 13-0 at the half, the Rockets continued their domination in the third quarter and showed clearly they were not to be denied their fifteenth consecutive vieto ry and the city championship.

Let us analyze these so-cal I ed "lucrative" jobs. Actually, at the going rate of 80 cents an hour, working on a part-ti me basis, the teenager can expect to make about $12 a we~k.
This money is divided into tidy pi Jes to be handed out on "accoun~s pending." A teen can pl an on certa1 n fixed expenses: $1.50 a week for I unch (if one eats 1 i ghtl y), $1 week1y for the church offering, and. abo~t $5 for a savings account, wh~ch 1s used for any and al 1 emergenc1 es. · The remaining $4,.50 can be used _for teenage frivolity. These luxur!es include clothes, (school clothes and better dress); car expense, (p~yments andmaintainance); school suppl 1es and mi scel 1aneous supplies, (club dues, pictures, tickets, pencils, paper, notebooks, book covers, ink, pens~ haircuts; records; dates; 1 i psti ck; etc. , etc. , etc.
ALLOWANCESHELP?
Parental al 1owances for today's teens range from $0-5 weekly, depending on the job stat~s of the indivtdual and the generosity of the parent. The average ~~r~Lng young adult can expect I ittle in the way of an allowance. Even with an extra $5 a week $3 will go into the bank account. Thus a mere $2 is left for extra gas used while running family errandsl
At the outside, the grand total of $17 is the ayerage teen's income. Yet, it is said, "The teenager has the upper hand in the economy of the United States."
WHEREIS MY SHARE?
'Sign' of Pride
A question has arisen about the coming-events sign in front of Lincoln High School. Some students feel that this sign should show only LHS activities. Others think it should be unselfishly shared with the other high schools in Lincoln. Who is right?
Some feel that since this sign was largely paid for by Links, it should advertise only for Links.
However, some students feel that this sign, if shared with others, wi 11 result not only in I ess vandali sm bu t wi I 1 serve as a g est u re of fri endl i ness.
It has been said, "Doing the right thing gratifies a few and surprises many." Should LHSbe guided by selfish pride because it has something other Lincoln schools do not?

Halloween is variously interpreted throughout the world. Although it symbolizes fun and games in America, Latin countries regard Halloween as a ireligious time. The earliest recorded Halloween festivities, held on November 1, by the Druids, was in honor of the Lord of the Dead, Samhain. Totally devoid of fun, the event was very morbid and eerie. On this night, Samh ain suppo sedl Y assembled the souls of all who had died previously.
SEVEREPUNISHMENT
The souls had been confined in the bodies of lower animals as a punishment for their sins. When the New Year approached, the souls were freed.
Sacrifices were made to Samhain to symbolize the Druids' appreciation and their faithfulness to him. This ceremony is characteristic of the forgotten "fun-loving" spirit of the first Halloweens when animals and criminals were burned alive.
The cat symbolized mystery and evil. Cats too were often burned alive. The consensus was that the felines were descendants, familiars of witches, or even witches themselves. It was a general conviction that witches quite often transferred themselves into cats.
ANCIENTaJSTffllS
If you have ever been at a loss as how to outwit and protect yourself from the "broomed Hazels," take advantage of the European customs.
The peasantsof Ireland and Scotland build fires on the hillsides on Halloween. Pitchforks are plaited with straw, set afire, and waved aloft to singe the brooms of any low flying, unidentified objects.
A similar habit is disReincarnated Cat Haunts Murderer
1 root of hemlock (dug at midnight)
2 witch mummies 5 whiskers from a black cat black caldronwitha murderer's bewitching hour, while chant-
played by the Scttndinavi ans, who believe that blazing, straw-laden pitchforks and flaming straw will drive the witches away.
Superstition is the backbone for the Scottish folklore. Gamesand simple experiments were conducted on Halloween to determine the future. The roots of cabbage plants were believed to foretell the temperament and physique of the future mate.
In villages in Mexico, the occupants play "Hansel and Gretel." Petals of the yellowmarigold, the special flower of the dead, are strewn by the family from the grave to the front door. By following this path, the ghosts are able to find their way home. The only pro bl em this presents is the threat of a gust of wind.
The true Halloween dido' t start in America until the Irish came. The Gaelics in America had Halloween, but it was a religious occasion. Not until the 1840' s did Halloween become a nationally observed holiday. Most people treat Halloween's ancient customs lightly.
Of course, no one believes in ghosts, witc::hes, and fairies, but do you krnowanyone who would dare walk through a dark graveyard alon<e on Halloween? ;.<(
There was a man (his name untold) Who had a cat of Siamese breed; Al though by nature the man was good, He hated her, indeed!
One day his anger overcame him And his only pet he shot; After the deed, he felt no guilt, Al though a curse was wrought.
Many a year had passed since then And younger days had gone, When happened he to meet a girl For whomhe yearned and longed.
"You had a cat, so I am told," She said in manner sly. "Yes", said he in 't\Ondering tone, 11\that matters it and why?"
This Siamese girl of him did ask A question, oh so strange. "lVhat think you of reincarnation?" And his fate was then ordained.
This poor man was sore afraid, But mattered it not with she. She pulled out a gun; aimed at his head, And said, "wonder what you' 11 be?" "'"

Cheerleader president Patty Kurtz enjoys swimming and "being with a certain LSE boy" when she's not involved with Cheerleaders or Aqualinks.
"Being chosen Cheerleader." Patty's most memorable experience, proved also to be most embarrassing during her first pep rally when she "did the cheer wrong." She likes the new improvements but somehow dreads getting up for school.
After achieving her senior goal of graduating, Patty plans to attend Teachers College at the University of Nebraska. She reminds sophomores and juniors to "keep Ufi your grades and al ways suppo rt the school.

He believes the best things at Lincoln High are II the good teaching program and the fine coaching staff. 11 flis most embarrassing experience came when he missed a kickoff against OmahaTech in his sophomore year.
"Being nominated All-City in basketball and being on the honor roll four semest.e rs" are Frank's most manorable experiences.

Thumbnailer John Jacobs likes best about Lincoln High the "friendly students and the new scheduling which permits me to leave at 2: 30."
John, whois in the Engineering curriculum, considers mathematics his favorite subject. He plans to study dentistry at the University of Nebraska after he accomplishes his senior goal--graduation.
Sparts play a big role in John's life. He has participated in Reserve football and is a Varsity Squad member this year. He also played Reserve baseball. "Ripping the seat of my pants in the Reserve football game at Boys Town" rates as his most embarrassing experience.
John's favorite pastimes, in addition to school sports, are bowling and talkin·g to friends. 11Don' t 1 et upper cl assmen boss you around next Year! ! 11 is his advice to underclassmen.

Madras so named for the Indian city where it originated, is hand-~oven cotton cloth "bled" with vegetab~ ~d fruit dYes. This technique has been carried on by fam1lles fr~m one generatiow to the next for thousands of years It is the weaver's tradition to vary each ·piece of material so tha t n~ two fabrics are ~ver exactly alike in pattern or 11 11 I d in the colors which are guaranteed to bleed. n every ay textile jargon, this bleeding would be called running and would def :initely be frowned upon.

EASYTO DETEI:T
Madras is the fabric for people who hate to iron--no matter what one do es, , it always wrinkles! This is one of the surefire ways to recognize genuine Madras. Another way isbythe small flaws (slubs) found in almost every piece.
Although Madras may be the lazy ironer's dream, it certainly I is not that of the washer. Nearly every piece must be washed separa~ely to avoid "two-tone" bleeding.
Girls who bought Madras bathing suits 1 ast summer sPent many anxious moments wondering what the suits were going to do when they got wet. Reports are that suits did not bleed in the water, but did fade when wet and in the sun. Today almost everything comes in Madras fabric, from watchbands to belts to billfolds.

Although the fair sex is known for following fashions •dictates,, how about boys?

Want to vote in November?
Of course teens can't actually go to the polls and vote this year, but how many votes could be brought in by those sameteens willing to give some time and energy?
"Many," say teens working for the TARS (Teen Age Republicans) and·DEMS (teen Democrats). Both clubs have the active Lincoln chapters and are on the lookout for new members.

Teenagers have become a new force on the American political scene. Politicians say teens bring the enthusiasm to really get done some of the jobs that many adults might look down on.

Hoover's Demise Brings Tributes
An "unquenchable sense of public responsibility for both our nation and a troubled world stands as an example that will endure," was the tribute paid to Herbert Hoover by President Lyndon Johnson.
The passing of Herbert Hoover on October 20 marked the end of a distinguished care er of service to the country.
Hoover, a Republican, served in several government al capacities before his term as president. From 19211928, he was Secretary of Commerce under President Calvin Coolidge. In 1929, he was inangurated as the thirtyfirst President. A depression for which he was blamed came during his administration. He was defeated by Franklin Roosevelt in the next election.
by Beverly Austin
A leaf may tremble, blown by winds of fall, And held by branch, may strive to break away; To flee at last beyond the captive wall. The lifeblood once so dear now means decay, And out of years there now seems but a day To feel the glee of unrestricted flight. Yet fearful still, it half cries out to stay, While half decides to chance to coming nigqt •.. Last half wins out, and one more speck bisects the height. Nearby, a liquid pearl. slides o'er its bloom, And hesitates before it drops through sPace. Ahead may lie an endless road to doom ( The burning sun quells thirst without a trace), Or union sweet in YAJodland trysting-pl ace With quiet ~treams--eternities to share.
The sea may beckon with her mystic face, But self is lost exploring Neptune's lair ... The flower nods ... and leaf, like dew, attempts the air.
The leaf, the dew, both facing God's decree: All time moves on; all things go forth, not back. As 1 eaf, as dew, as time are, so are we, While safety we once knew begins to crack With tiny fanlts we make from constant I ack Of knowing what to oo. The future lies Ahead--and how are we to know which track To tread? The seaning carefree smile belies The deeper grief of age; our youth is but a gutse.

Special Assembly Features Captain Engle, X-15 Pilot
This week 10,000 students received a "capsule of information about their world and their age. 11 This was the main theme of the Aerospace Assembly held in Johnson Gym October 23.

The main speaker for the assembly was Captain Joe Engle who isan Air Force X-15 test pi lot. Captain Engle, a native Kansan, described flying of, the X-15 as "like nothing I have ever experienced before." He also mentioned that the testing of airplanes has expanded established scientific beliefs.
Wealthiest Generation Spends $13 Billion Annually
Thousands of people in the United States today make their living as economists. Their job is to interpret and predict the course of the nation's economy.
In their work, they have come to the conclusion that the United States is a very weal thy nation, and that a surprisingly large amount of this weal th is in the hands of teenagers.
MONEYIN THEBANK Surprising? Not really, More and more high school students are holding summer allld part-time jobs. Since students have neither to pay income tax nor SUpPort a family, the money they take home is theirs and theirs alone.
Some use their money to augment the family income, and others simply spend every penny they make. But most save a large part of it. It's not at all unusual for a teen to have a bank account of $500 or even $1,000. The saying, "the kid's got more money than his dad" now rings true in many households.
And how do the members of this affluent set spend their money? For the male members, a large part is often taken up by a car. Even before a boy has driven his powerful new toy, purchase price, insu ranee, taxes, and license fees have already taken a big bite out of his pocketbook. Figuring repairs, highpriced "essentials," gas and oil, and total upkeep of a car for one year can require a boy to pour almost everything he has into his automobile.
Girls don't usually haye crushing car expenses, but they more than make up for it with clothes, records, and cosmetics. Clothes rank high on all teenage budgets.
COLLEGEAHEAD
1036 0 432-3166
Other speakers were Dr. Steve Watkins, and Lt. Colonel David 0' Hara. Also present was Dr. Dale Rathe, co-ordinator of the assembly, and Dr. Frank Sorenson, head of Aerospace Education at the University of Nebraska.
In addition to a paycheck, many teens and pre-teens receive allowances. Allowances come in two forms; as a regular payment, or as "loans" from mom and dad, (which will probably never be repaid). In one year, the total amount of allowances received by minors in the United States reached the whopping figure of 13 billion dollars.
STUDENTBILLIONAIRES
Thirteen billion dollars!
Considering that the budget for the Federal Government is 100 billion dollars a year, and the nation's total income for one year is around 500 billion, the youth of the nation are a major economic force on the basis of their allowances alone, not including the extra billions earned at jobs by those in the 16-21 age level.
Most working students are saving their money for college. Few families can afford to send their children to col1 eg e without making some sacrifices, and the more the student can pitch in, the better. Fbr a person living in Lincoln and going to the University of Nebraska, tuition and book costs are steep enough, but for those who want to go away to schoo 1, the stupendous expenses of out-of-state tuition, room and board, laundry, and transportation from home town to the university are added. Snall w:mder Idly students start saving for col1 ege many years before the big day actually arrives Jobs are unquestionably the biggest sources of high schoolers' weal th.
TEENSAREBIG BUSINESS
The days of papa reluctantly doling out 25 cents a week are long gone. Teens today are big business, with more and more of them investing in Savings and Loan Associations, or in securities. There has also been an opening of teen charge accounts.
This is why high schools are now offering such courses as economics and modern problems. The wealthiest generation in history must be well trained to handle its money.

One of th.e Sons for this issue is Rod Ahlberg. In his third year of Varsity football, Rod is also a member of L Club.
Football is listed as Rod's favorite sport because he enjoys "playing games with good, hard contact."

Links Drop Two; Victims of Late Scores
BISHOPRYAN
Omaha Bishop Ryan refused to give up, as they downed the Links Friday night, 31-26. Ryan led at the half, 12-0, and it looked as if the large homecoming crowd was in for a long night. As the Links came to life in the second half, Ryan pulled an almost repeat showing of the North game, as they scored on a long pass with just 22 seconds left in the game.
Charles King and Jim Riggins continually broke loose to gain 1ong yardage; each al so contributed a touchoown. Sam Beechner warmed up his pitching arm and pitched for 164 yards. Charles Garrett and Frank Brill were on the receiving end of TD passes. End Dave LaDuke caught three passes for long yardage, and al though he didn't score, he did some fine open field running.
The Lincoln High defense, hurt by injuries, was filled with boys \IDOhad previously not seen much action. The weakness was noticeable as Ryan scored almost at will. The score was tied 19-19, before the Links took the lead, 26-25. With the end of the game very near, it looked as if the Links might be able to hold on for their fourth win of the season. However, a long Ryan pass fumbled in the end-zone, was recovered by £cyan and decided the cont est. Coniglio and Fiala played exceptionally well for Ryan. Fiala directed the attack while Coniglio led the defense
SOUlltEAST
Lincoln Southeast continued a three-year football domination of Lincoln High, as they downed the Links, 13-12. The outstanding factor in each of these games has been the Knights' Bob Erickson. In his sophomore year he threw a TD pass to beat the Links, 14-12. 'Ll}st year he kicked the extra point that won 7-6. This year he again kicked the PAT to win 13-12.

Lincoln High, on their first drive of the evening, struck deep into &:>utheast territory before Galen Hodges' fumble ended the drive. A fourth down and long yardage situation forced the Knights to pass; Erickson connected with Doug Dworakto set up the first TD. Dworak easily scored on a twoyard jaunt.
In the second half, Sam Beechner was smothered while. dropping back to pass; Frank Brill was forced to kick from deep in the Links' terri tor:y. Jim Kohl blasted through the Links' right side and blocked the punt, setting up the Knights' second touchdown. Sam Beechner connected with Dave LaDuke for the Links' first score. After the Links' held and a short punt by Dv.orak, the Links sustained another touchdown mark. Charlie King carried in for the score. A mix-up on the try for the tying point resulted in a Chuck Roberts interception, and a Southeast victory. An on-sides kick was recovered by LaDuke, and after a "short discussion among the officials, 11 the ball was awarded to Lincoln High, but too much time had run out to score.

Thank You
Veteran's Day has come and perhaps has gone, almost unnoticed. Except for the flags and flowers arraying graves, the hubbub of the 20th century continues, unmindful of this solemn day.
We, the Advocate staff, take this opportunity in behalf of LHSto acknowledge our gratitude to brave patriots who gave their lives that we, todav. might be free; we are also deeply aware of those men who served in the armed forces during conflict3.
To the countless number of men who took upon themselves the burden of war so that this nation might remain, we express our thanks and hope that "these men shal 1 not have died in vain."
Your Right
Somepeople have great capabi 1i ti es; others do not. A few people are highly intelligent, are smart, but most are average. Some work enthusiaticall y to the best of their abl i I ti es; others "goof off" on the job. But everyone--ambitious, lazy, intelligent, or indifferent is in~ of these categories.
Before report cards were issued two weeks ago an appal Ii ng number of students received the familiar pink "get wel I" slips. Do these fai 1ure notices have to be the thermometer fo r c I ass work1
Fai Ii ng marks do not usual 1y have to do with a student's capacity to learn but rather to his unwi11i ngness to try to succeed. Usually, it is not hard electives or specialized cl asses that students are fail i ng ; il l! th-e everyday, requir~d subjects.
Far too many students don't seem to care whether or not homework is done. Apparently, to them it seems to be a total waste of time. These students learn the hard way that this is not true.
Whena person reaches high school he is expected to acquire adult standards. The student must study on his own. Directives such as "Work out these problems," or "Get you make-up work after you are absent," need not be stated- they are expected of the student.
High schoolers are supposed to have a sense of responsibility. If these students claim the right.to shed the "bal 1 and chain" of con st ant supervision and make their own decisions, aren't they accepting adult respon- sibilities?
Before it is too late, look yourself over and find out what category you f al I in and the areas you fail in!
One Lincoln High School teacher says, "Every person has a God-given right to fa11 or succeed as he pleases." What will your choice be?

Pilgrimage For Youth. 11 The trip was sponsored by the Fraternal Order of Odd Fellows and was intended as "a study of the United Nations in action. 11 Its dual purpose is to familia:rize participants with history and the "°rkings of government.
Larry gpent a total of four days at the United Nations, sitting in on lectures. Other highlights of his trip were a weekin New York, including the World's Fair, and stops in such places as Chicago, Mt. Vernon, Niagara Falls, and Valley Forge.

CONVENTIONEXPERIENCE
Mikegained experience with Student Council conventions this summer, whenhe attended a National Convention hel~ in Bangor, Maine. Six repre· sentatives and two sponsors were sent from Nebraska. They left Lincoln July 26, and stayed with the program about two weeks. He spent four days at the convention and then took side trips to the New York World's Fair and Washington D.C. While at the convention, Mike went to several workshops.
From February 1-6, Mike will attend another Student Council convention in Washington D.C. This trip, all expenses paid, will be sponsored by the State of Nebraska.
The convention will be mainly a conference and workshop for State student Council presidents and vicepresidents. Each state in the union sends its own individual student Council president and vice-president.
COUNCILIMPORTANCE
The purpose of a Student Council, as Mike sees it, is 11to. provide a link between the student body and the faculty. 11 For him its greatest advantage is that it "provides opportunities to meet people and challenges one with a variety of problems to consider."

Maybe sheltered American youth secretly envies the Rolling Stones because they are reputed to take only tv.o baths B month. But most likely, the Beatles and their ilk are just a fad which will hopefully go the same way as the Davy Crockett coonskin caps (which are really Beat! e wigs with tails attached) and hula hoops.
We can only hope that this present mania will pass before everything dear to us such as motherhood, education, the Flag, and oh yes, peanut butter, is brutally undermined through a torrent of "yeah, yeah, yeah' s. 11

LinksBlankSouth To Season,4-5
Lincoln High closed out its season Friday, as it soundly defeated OmahaSouth, 38-0. An indication of what was to come in the South game occurred the first time south got the ball. It went nowhere and the Links rolled for their first of six touchdowns.
, Henry Jackson, fully recoveredfrom his injuries for the first time since the second game of the season, scored twice. Herman Tapp also returned to his early-season form and was the first to put the Links on the scoreboard. Frank Brill came up fast from his defensive halfback position to go all the way with an intercepted pass. Sam Beechner was also on target as he connected for three touchdowns; Jackson, Kent Radke, and Chuck Garrett were on the receiving ends of the passes.
The Links defenS€ held South to two first downs: one on the first play of the game the other on South's last series of the game.
'Ibe win broke a three-game losing streak for the Links. Uespi te their ability to win only four of nine games, the Links outscored their opponents for the season, 194131. All of the Kinks wins were actually no contest, the closest being 20-0 over Grand Isl and. Of the Links' five losses, three were within five points; in fact, two of the three were decided by extra points. This was the fourth straight losing season for the Links.

good yardage.
Lincoln High failed to sustain any consistent attack, but it just wasn't the Links' night as they spent most of the game on defense. Bellevue, besides running up the score also ran out the clock. All the drives started from deep in Bellevue territory; and Bellevue just slowly but surely pounded away for enough first downs to nnally score.
Oneofthe few bright spa for Lincoln High was a Sam Beechner to Frank Brill pass. After bobbling the ball for a few steps, Brill brought it in and hustled oownthe sidelines for the Links' only TD.
On one play, tackle Rod Ahlberg stole the ball from the arms of a Bellevue halfback and started for a touchdown. However, the Bellevue quarterback had such a good fake to bis fullback into the line, that the ~lay was blown dead.

His pet peeve is being called 11Dickie, 11 while his most memorable moment was making Varsity football in his sophomore year. While he won't admit it, his most embarrassing moment was probably Cheerleading during the Northeast game. His antics resulted in a bad knee injury and put him out for the season. This ruined his senior goal of making all-state in football. After graduation Dick plans to attend the University of Nebraska. He likes the coaches and kids best about LHS, and he believes participation in sports has helped him to meet a lot of nice people and kids
He enjoys best about LHS the tradition and s~pport that's always carried over year to year no matter how the teams perform.

In Memory
One year ago a valiant leader was struck down. A mediator for world peace and 1eader for bridging the gap between the peoples of the United States, we mourned him, and wondered how we could go on without him.
But time heals al 1 wounds and under the guidance of a new 1eader, we have continued.
We, the Advocate staff, hold dear the memoryof President John F. Kennedy and hope that his ideals and aims will one day be fulfilled.
Bless Us Everyone
Years ago with the comingof Thanksgiving there was a great surge of the "count-your-blessings" spirit. But today on account of the modern way of life, most people are not wanting in anything withmaterialisticvalue. As a result, there seems to be an immunity building up against the real spirit of Thanksgiving.
We, as Americans, have had great opportunites for education. We are supposed to be i ntel 1 i gent and broadminded people. We, above all, should realize how fortunate we are just by seeing how people in other countries 1 ive. However, too often we seem to be oblivious of the facts.
This misleading concept of Thanksgiving is hard to correct because it is di ff i cu 1t to makepeop1e understand that they should be grateful for the blessings they have known all their 1 ives and have taken for granted.
Let us, this year when we sit down to eat Thanksgiving dinner, think of the many men who died so this nation might survive. Let us be sure that the spirit of the occasion as well as the bounty is remembered.
One Man's Opinion
Dear Edi tor,
Tome the Advocate has always served as an informative and interesting newspaper. The articles have always been well writt~n until this recent issue(November 11, 1964). The information presented in the article "British Mania Conquers USA Teens" was down-right opinionated and terribly onesided. For instance, I quote the story as saying, "why have Americanyouth taken these intruders to their hearts? Obviously it i sn' t their looks that make them a success. " Well, just take a good look at many of the boys' hairstyles in LHS. I'd venture to say I see at least fifty boys with Beatle haircuts during one school day. surely all these guys aren't demented! And about the many British groups draining money out of the U. s., did it ever occur to you that before this Beatle era, U.S. singers took money out .of England? It was a stated fact that the Beatles took home over two million dollars from their tour this summer. They must have plenty of talent to make U.S. teens spend money for tickets to their performances.
The article has been published and read so there's not much that can be done about it now. However, mayI suggest that all sides of the story be shown in future articles. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

Pilgrims' 'Square' Ideas
Are Swinging Today
Four score and hundreds of years ago, our·forefathers crossed an uncharted ocean and landed at Plymouth Rock. Those forefathers of ours who survived that first year set aside a day each year to give th~nks for their preserva-tion. That day we now know as Thanksgiving.
When they celebrated on that first feast day, they dido' t think of it merely as a day that school wouldn't be held: they considered it as a time to be thankful for the harvest and their lives. Like our Pilgrim antecedents, we still give thanks.
CUSTOM~SIMILAR
But in 1964, although Thanksgiving Day is spent somewhat differently then it was in 1621, many customs still survive. The Pilgrims shared their first Thanksgiving meal with savages. Westill share our meals today with savages. Whenseated at the table take a good look at those seated around you. If there are children under five at the table, you are eating with savages! Indians are believed to have been unmannerly savages who ate with their fingers; however, that statement is false. Indians were very well-mannered compared to any relative under five. The average child enjoys eating with his fingers, playing with his food, and shouting confusing statements such as "1 won't eat my potatoes without ketchup." No self-respecting Indian would behave in such a manner.
TABLECONVERSATIONS
Dinner table conversations of the 1620' s were probably similar to today's. The following might have been overheard at the first Thanksgiving dinner. "Wilt thou please pass the turkey, Abraham?" and "sit thyself up straight at table or thee shall suffer the consequence." and "1 don't care if all the other boys do own their own ox carts!"
Today the same subjects are discussed at the table only in somewhat different terms. "Hey, don't be a pig, pass the turkey down here," and "sit up straight at this table-,. before I brain you," and "For the last time, no, you can' t have a car! "
The first teenagers in America had problems similar to ours. Every Pilgrim boy probably wanted to own his own horse to impress some girl, or maybe he wanted his own musket. Every girl was probably interested in junking those ridiculous bonnets, and dyeing those long gray dresses to a bright red and raising the hemline to the ankles.
Parents' observations haven't changed either. The Pilgrims pr-0hably said that they ·n~ouldn't understand this present generation, we never acted like that."
SHOPPINGIS HARDEK
Today, rather than g(jing btto the wilds with a turkey musket and powder horn, we are challenged by a trip to the grocery store armed with money and a shopping list. They (the earlier shoppers), faced wild bears, and other woods' dwellers whereas pre.·sent-day buyers face cereal boxes that fall off top shelves, stacked cans that come unstacked when the top can is removed, and shopping carts with square wheels that won't turn corners.
For those first turkeys, the hunter merely loaded his · musket, aimed and fired, and presto there was dinner, free t;f charge. Today the shopper must guess at the quality of the turkey through cellophane wrapping and upon selecting he must wait through the long discouraging time it takes to thaw.
Tqe Pilgrims' ~ilgrimage across the Atlantic Ocean in the Mayflower is nothing compared to a trip across town in heavy traffic. They faced storms at sea and drowning. The shoppers of today face ruling stop lights, maniac drivers, and carburetor icing.
So you see the past 340 years haven't really made a change in mankind. So hey man, don't thou be a pig about it, pass the turkey down here!

REDCROSS,PSUEDOSANTA TO WINNEBAGOCHILDREN
How! Howwould you like to be missed by Santa Claus this Christmas? "·ijcl.p~s and you help yourself. By giving toys to the Red Cross Council's Christmas project, you help the Winnebago Indians and you gain a sense of wellbeing. 11 This is th€ ideal that motivates the 1964 Red Cross Council service project-sending gifts to Winnebago Indian children. Almost 800 tribal members live in and around the town of Winnebago,.Nebraska (just south of South Sioux City). These culturally-displaced persons seem unable to cope with the world and its problems. Because the area is restricted and they are unable to break the tie with
the land, need and hardship are wide-spread. Unemploymentis high among the Winnebagos. The main source of income is seasonal farm labor. During the winter, up to 75 per cent of the employable males are on relief. Some state and federal projects are underway to help alleviate such poverty. The Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs supplies the Indians with some direct relief and has fumished a public heal th hospital.
SADHISTORY
The Winnebago Indians, originally a'Wisconsin tribe, settled in the woodlands before the white man came. Pushed out of Wisconsin by the settlers, the Winnebagos .arifted into '4innesota.
GRIMALKIN
by Renee Augustin
Conformity is like a hungry cat Which, when fed once, cannot be chas-ed away. Greedily it snatches at the scraps of convention, And then develops a voracious appetite for the entire meal.
An unwanted stray cat is killed with compassion, Hesitantly, as if the deed were vile. But the firsts i gns of conformity shou1d be destroyed without mercy. For even the savage leopard is born an innocent kitten.
.Because of an Indian uprising in Minnesota, the Winnebagos were again forced to migrate, this time into the barren wastes of South Dakota. Since they were a woodland tribe, i.t was difficult for them to adjust to the new conditions.
In the early 1860's the Winnebago Council communicated with the OmahaIndians of Nebraska, telling of a small sum of money they had in the U.S. Treasury and of their desire to come and live with the Omahas. The Omahas complied with the request and the Winnebagos bought the northern one-third of the Omahaterritory, which is in Thurston county. During the Civil War, the· Winnebagos became part of the United States Army in a group called the OmahaScouts.
After the war, a powwow celebrated the scouts homecoming. Since then they have, commemorated the occasion each August.
The tribe is presently governed QYan elected elevenman tribal council, which maintains order and seeks to keep the peace among tribal members.
TOYSARENEEDED BY donating unwanted toys, students will help the.Lancaster county Red Cross furnish Christmas gifts for approximately 300 Winnebago children.
Well-identified collection boxes are located in home room classes and in the main hall by the auditorium entrance.
Mr. Earl Dyer, Lincoln newspaper man, is state chairman of a program working with Nebraska Indians. He asks that toys collected 11be good ones, the kindyou would give your ownbrothers and sisters. 11It is felt that by giving the Indian children at least one really nice toy they can begin to learn how to care for really nice things."
If this project proves successful, the Lancaster county Red Cross hopes to organize a ll'OUP of college and high school students into a small "peace corps" to visit the co11111unity,to promote understanding, and to give prac,tical aid. to the Indians.
New driver simulation machines give students almost true-to-life experience before actual behind-the-wheel training begins.
Driving Simulator Reproduces Road Conditions and Situations
A driving simulator unit, complete with 18 simulated car 'units, films, a projector, a wide screen, and a recorder, has be en installed in Lincoln High School as an addition to the driver education program.
The individual car unit ftself is a replica of the inside of a standard car including front seat and dashboard. The instrument panel with its steering wheel, turn signal lever, headlight switch, turn signal indicator, ignition switch, and speedometer, is a duplicate of a Chevy II dashboard.
In addition there is an automatic transmission lever, accelerator, brake, clutch, and manual floor transmission lever. The unit will function either as an automatic car, or (when the clutch and manual floor transmission are put to use) as a manually operated one. Other accessories are a rearviewmirror and a parking brake.
SELF-CHECKPANEL
Upon the car unit, but placed so as not to obscure the student;s view of the screen is the self-checking error identification panel. On the panel is an outline of the steering wheel, in which are embedded five small indicator lights to represent steering, braking, spe~, turn signals, and headlight beam.
When a student makes an error, one of the lights flashes on. The light remains on until the error has been corrected or the time to make the correction has elapsed.
To provide a viewof driving conditions as they actually are, full color 35mm. films are shown on a wide screen. The series of films to be shown in the driver education classes include: "Introduction 11 "start of Good Driv( 11 11 ing, 1 "The Good Turn, Beginning City Driving, 11 "Highway Driving," "Expressway Driving, 11"Reverse, 1111 Advanced · City Qriving, 11 "Parking," 11DrivingAfterDark," "Shifting, 11 and "Let's Review."
The master recorder consists of individual counting uni ts, one for every car unit in the room. The recorder is hooked ~P to the car units and the projector, and records all responses and errors made by individual students during a film.
A newer and easier to operate recorder unit will soon replace this one.
11FEEL11 OF DRIVING
To the participating "dri v-
er," the entire unit functioning together produces the effect of actual driving, without involving the actual · hazards. A color film, showing scenes that a person dri ving a car would actually see, is thrown onto the screen.
The student at the wheel of the simulated car unit, is then expected to respond to the various situations depicted on the screen. The master recorder records the student's reactions, correct moves, and errors. A selfchecking error identification panel is attached to the car unit to indicate errors in driving that the student has made, so that he may correct
them.
Driving simulators have been installed in Lincoln High School, Lincoln Northeast High School, and Lincoln Southeast High School at the cost of $67,000. LHS has 18 andLNEand LSE have 12 each.

Mr. Lyle Weyand, head of the Driver Education Department, states that the new driving simulators should be "a great aid and stimulator to improved driving habits and will make safer, better drivers."

INFLUENCINGFACTOR
11This opportunity will give me a chance to meet people from all over the United States. I feel that this experience will impress upon me how aerospace affects us now, and the future it has in our country, 11 says Brent. Brent feels he has always been interested in aerospace because it has "always been a part" of his life. His father is in the Air Force. Aerospace "could" influence Brent's future vocation, too. He is interested in medicine of some kind.
At the state seminar, each of the sjudents was given an Admiralship in the Nebraska Navy. As Brent puts it, 11It feels funny to out-rank your father"----even if it is in a different branch of the armed forces!

Inter-City Council Chooses Beckmann; Assumes Vice-Presidency for '64-'65
Dave Beckmann,Lincoln High junior, added one more feather to his cap when he accepted his duties as newly elected vice-president of Lincoln's Inter-City Student ·council. This post rates as the latest addition to Dave' s long list of achievements.
Inter-City student council is composed of 25 members-~five representatives from each of Lincoln's High Schools. Their function is to "work for better relationships between schools." Dis-
cussing common problems found in student councils is also included in their purposes.
OFFICESROTATED
By constitutional provision, the Inter-City Student council meets every six weeks. At the last organizational meeting, called primarily to elect new officers, Dave was chosen 1964- 65 vice-president. His primary duty is to assist the president, although he also plans to work toward "making the Council :nore effective." "Elected" offices are rotated from school to school each year. Last year, Tommy Thompson, 1963-64 Lincoln High School student, held the presidency. This year, the presidency was passed to another high school. The same II II "}} pattern of exchange WI hold true for the years to come. Inter-City Student Council, as any student Council, serves as a 11link between students and faculty. The end result is always in the welfare of the school," says Dave.

Ken Benton, heading the list, must be considered one of the top in the state as he was runner up in the state meet last year. Dennis Maloney, TomNickell, and Carl Godwin are expected to up the Links hopes as all helped the team to a fine dual meet record last year.
Other returning lettermen are Gary Baum, DoUg Canu>bell, Larry Cole, and Steve Swartz.
BASKETBALL
With five returning Lettermen, the Lincoln High basketball team will be out to defent its city title. Once again the championship will be up for grabs as all teams should be wen matched.
In the last two years, it has been Links ability that won the close ones, as many :games were decided by less ·than four points.
Leading the way again this year are two starters from last year's squad are Frank Brill, who led the Links on rebounds, and Joe Weyand, who showed the ability to shoot from outside. Weyand, with his long jump shots, will be counted on to keep the Links attack moving.
Don Crist, who started practice with a cast on his arm, will be expected to help the rebounding along with Mikecasmer, and Roger Mulder. HenryJackson, Charles Garret, and Sam Beechner will help Weyandat the guard position.

Up from a strong Reserve squad, Tom Hansen, Lyle Krueger, and Mick Spomer will be expected to fill the holes left by graduating seniors.
Coach Sprague feels that great efforts from these and others boys will be needed if the Links are to defend their title.

Larry Mowrer, a two-letterman in Cross-country, has also earned a Reserve letter and Varsity certificate in track.
Placing fourth in this year's District Cross-Country aeet is Larry's most memorable moment. Now that the season is over, he spends most of his time getting ready for the spring track season "by lounging in the lounge."
Golf is listed as Larry's favorite sport because of the _great cltallenge it offers and 'because it is less strenuous than some sports. His pet peeve is people whosay "cross-Country, what' s that?"

Merry Christmas
What is the Christmas spirit? Is it the melody of carols chanted frostily in the brisk winter air? Is it the delight of a child opening a gift? Is it the enchantment of mistletoe or the exchange of cards? Is it the frantic delirium of last minute shoppers?
Each year a renewed, refreshing undercurrent accompanies the commercial countdown to Christmas. Is it the helping hand reaching out to those who are homeless or lost in despair? Is it the serenity of a church in the quiet still of the night? Is it the compassion that replaces suspicion and doubt?
It is al 1 these and much more. It is a fat 1 i tt 1e man dressed in red it is the fresh smell of pine diffusing in a room as the glowing fire in the hearth radiates warmth... it is the tinkle of sleigh bells and laughter in the distance ... it is an awkward white snowman... it is tolerance of everyday irritations.
The Christmas spirit is the same as that which motivated the First Christmas. It is the thrill of sledding down the side of a snowy hill ... it is the lulled anxiety of children, too excited to sleep--too tired to stay awake... it is a be 1oved community on Christmas Eve, stilled except for the rhythmic tint i nnabu1at ion of the bells.
The Christmas spirit is the joy of people drawn together in the same unity that must have existedthatnight inthehumble stable.
Happy New Year
I hereby reso 1ve that, in the coming NewYear season, I wi11 not makehasty, foolish, or unrealistic resolutions that I cannot keep. I do further resolve that those resolutions I DO make I will do my best to keep.
Each NewYear's season is a ti me for optimism. As people gaze into the future and reminisce on the past, enthusiasm is re~ived, readied for new problems and improvements.
Unfortunately, people are so ambitious to make their 1 ives fuller that the practicality of NewYear commitments is often overlooked.
Would it be practical for a three hundred pound c.hef to reso 1ve to 1ose one hundred pounds in the new year? Would it be realistic for a teenage girl to resolve to give up teenage boys? The thought is there, but is the intelligence?
Although the NewYear season is a wonderful tfme to revise one's 1 ife, it is also a good time to go to extremes.
Think first; when you know you are right then resolve.

After that jolly old gentleman and his eight reindeer have returned to the North Pole and you have thoroughly exhausted all your resources there comes a night of wild anticipation-•-New Yeats Eve.
NewYear's Eve is celebrated differently throughout the land. Some people attend wild parties, some baby-sit so others can attend wild parties and sane welcome the New Year with Johnny Carson. or one of the old movies on television.
If you are a giver of wild New Year's Eve parties here is how you spend the entire day of December 31.
BEGINNINGOF A LONGDAY
Upon awakening, you immediately get up and get to work. You have exactly 13 hours to get the house shipshape and ready for the battle. After a fast break~ fast you're off and running. First chores are to haul out last years New Year's decorations and to clean that dirty old basement. Last year's decorations are in the attic. The attic's only entrance is through a hole in the ceiling in the hall.
This maneuver requires taking the rickety old ladder from the garage, leaning it against the hall wall and climbing up. Once in the attic you hit your head against two beams and after howling unprintable words, you begin your search.

least big mice)everywhere. After walking through two spider webs and removing the webs from your face, you locate the decorations and leave by the nearest and only exit.
Upon arriving at the exit you find your father has returned his precious ladder to the garage and there you are stuck in the attic. Do not panic, throw your unbreakable decorations to the hall floor and jump down. If you break a leg, you needn't worry--you have hospital insurance.
TIMEFORTHEBASEMENT
Now you decide it's time to get to work on the basement. You start by moving everything that is breakable out of the party room. (This wasn't really your idea; it was your mother's·!) You decide you need a record player and records to dance to, but rather than use your own (after all it could get broken or damaged), you decide to borrow your bFoth~ er' s.
You run quickly into your brother's room , after pushing open the door by leaning on it with all your weight, (it seems as though he anticipated you might want to use his record player) you move the barracade in front of his door. You enter the room to find you have another search ahead. He has hidden his record player! You venture into his closet omly to be hit by a falling fo,otball helmet; after a brief· search there you decide to look under his bed where he keeps all hivaluables.
Once under the bed you find dust and innumerable boxes, and a record player. You grab the record player, blow off the dust and get out of the room as quickly as possible, leaving it just the way you found it--in a mess.
Let us now assume that you have the basement cleaned and are preparing to put up the decorations. You once again go out to the garage to get the ladder.
NEEDED-THREEHANDS
Putting up crepe paper streamers requires three hands; however, most humans only have two. Clinging to the ladder with one hand while you ascend, while in the other hand holding the streamers, scissors with which to cut the streamers (of course, you could have cut the streamers while standing on the floor, but it's more fun to cut them when you are on top of a ladder) and a scotch tape dispenser in your mouth~ requires great skill.
After the streamers are up (we won't go into the messy details) you're ready to get yourself ready for the big night.
You're already to jump into a hot tub of water only to find that your mother has been washing clothes all day and there is no hot water left. So you content yourself with a cold shower, to make you feel all refreshed and freezing.
Nowyour guests are arriving and you decide that it may be worth it, but right now you ,make a resolution "never again."

Everybody likes to reminisce about an "old fashioned" Christmas when Father cut the tree in a nearby forest and the kids decorated it with popcorn and lighted candles. But let's face it. Christmas is rapidly catching up with our modern society. However, if it seems modern now, just try to imagine what Christmas will be like in the year 2064!

Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true.

HOLIDAY HYPOTHESIS
Mercury, and the moon, aren' t going to buy the story of reindeer flying through the air pulling Santa's sleigh.
By the way , Santa will have to find a new headquarters. When a retirement colony was founded on the North Pole, Santa was forced off his territory.
Second, the white Christmas bit will be out. Howcan you have a white Christmas when the cities are under giant glass domes, with heaters and air conditioners to maintain a constant temperature throughout the year?
'DIENAS NOW
The holiday season will be as fast-paced then as it is now, only a century from now, everybody will be flying about in their nuclear space cars, shopping at space station department stores, and visiting Grandpa and Grandmaon nearby asteroids.
And think of the change in Christmas presents! Obviously every boy is going to want a rocket of his own. Girls will be wild over the anti-gravity machine, which will enable them to float about at will. Mother will need a "Fountain of Youth" kit, which will mak e h e r 1 o o k 10 0 y e a r s
younger. (With a life expectancy of 500 years, one' s looks will be of great importance, especially after the first couple hundred years). Dad will need an allpurpose "space Jacket" which will enable him to flit about the universe in lightweight clothing.
MARTIANEVERGREENS
Decorations will be interesting to see. Christmas trees will be decorated with nuclear-powered lights. The trees themselves will be objects of interest. After the supply on earth began to run out, earth travelers discovered that the ever-
greens on Mars were just perfect for trees. Also, this aided the Martians to overcome over-foliation.
Christmas eve will be a wonderful event. fhe excited children will hang their stockings on the family nuclear reactor, and then depart for bed. It will be fun the next day to see Johnny blasting off, Susie floating off to show her new gadget to her friends, and Momand Dad sitting quietly at homeenjoying their ultramodern gifts too. Sound crazy? Perhaps. But stick around for a hundred years and see what happens. It might be very interesting.

In France, the homes are the centers of activity on Christmas Eve. Most families hold a reunion which includes a holiday supper and the traditional custom of burning the Yule log.
At midnight the church bells toll and each person lights his small Christmas candle, and hurries to church for the Noel celebration. A feast, which often lasts until late morning, follows the church service.
The children, not forgotten, return to find their slippers or wooden shoes filled with sugar plums. This custom began when wooden shoes were filled with oats and placed on the doorsteps for the camels of the Wisemen. The exchange of Christmas gifts is confined to the younger children, but the older children and adults exchange gifts on "Le Jour de L' An, 11 or New Year's Day.
GERMANCHRISTMAS
The Christmas season in Germany begins December 6, St. Nicholas Day. Advent wreaths are hung in every home. During the month before Christmas Day, one candle is lit each week and placed on the wreath. On Christmas Day all four candles are in place and burning.
Decorating a fir tree for Christmas is believed to have originated in Germany, where it is customary for the mother to trim the tree alone. On Christmas Eve the tree, ablaze with tiny candles, tinsel, bright balls, toys, and cookies is revealed for the first time to the family.
BABOUSHKA-RUSSIANSANTA
Baboushka is the Russian Santa Claus. According to the legend, it was Baboushka who refused to give Mary and Joseph shelter on Christmas Eve. As the legend says, she also misdirected the three Wisemen on their search for the Christ Child.
Nowevery Christmas Eve she wanders throughout Russia, knocking on all doors in search of the sleeping child. She places a toy under his pillow and continues her search--never finding the Christ Child.
JANUARY6. CHRISTMASIN SPAIN
Gift exchanging in Spain is not customary on Christmas day , but on January 4 December 25 is regarded as a solemn church-going day. Christmas passes, but not the spirit. On the eve of January 5, Spanish children prepare for bed with as much joy as American children prepare for Santa. They leave straw for the camels of the Wisemen and nearby they put their shoes, to be filled with gifts (or coal for naughty children.)
This is the time when gifts are exchanged.

Bousquet Discovers Honesty Pays (Off)
At one time or another, everyone has heard the expression, "Honesty pays." Honesty can produce either a sense of well being or, in some instances, material gains.
For Mike Bousquet, Lincoln High senior, honesty paid off not onlywith a senseof wellbeing, but in the physical form of $5 as well.
Several weeks ago, Mike found an envelope containing $24 in cash in the Lincoln High student parking lot. In an effort to help locate the owner, Mike turned in the money to the office.
Tht: rightful owner was notified, and expressed his gratitude in a letter of thanks to Mike, and a $5 reward for his integrity.

ricula they have to offer, and their organizations.
On his return to Pakistan, he will instruct at a teachers college or hold an administrative position in the educational system of Pakistan.
INTERESTEDIN YOUTH
Possessing a keen interest in the teens of today, Mr. Khan believes that the youth of today, no matter from which country they come, are "trying to get away from the ways of their ancestors. They are striving for their own type of life with individuality particular to the time in which they are living."
In their leisure time, Pakistani teens enjoy listening to music, and participating in activities such as soccer, field hockey, cricket, volley ball, tennis, basketball, chess, and cards. Pakistani teens have no dates compared to what Americans consider dates. When boys and girls go somewhere, they generally go with their parents.
There are very few job opportunities for teens in Pakistan. Children are supported by the parents, and this support usually continues until the youth is out of school.
Hi Links
h * * * Te average yearly income of a Pakistani is $60. Five Pakistani rupees are worth a dollar and five cents in American money. Even at this rate, the income is very low and poverty is wide-spread.
PAKISTANIEDUCATION
Eager to tell of Pakistani education, Mr. Khan explained that their schedules and those of American schools are very much alike. English is taught to Pakistani youths from the time they start school until they finish high school. Math is also a required subject.
Instead of the students moving from class to class, the teachers move from room to room. The students have five minutes between classes when they can talk and review their lessons for the next class. The students stay in the same room all day except for classes in science, art, household affairs, and other optional courses.
Education is not compuls~ry, and only 65 per cent o:f the children go to school. M:r. Khan regretted that the r,eason for this was lack of money to build schools and to furnish teachers and books.
HIGHDROPOUTRATE
In Pakistan, cars are a luxury. Only the very rich can afford to own them. Mr. Khan said that as he is of an average income group, he could never dream of owning a car. He had two bikes, and these served as his means of transportation. Trains are the cheapest transportation, but the tonga, a two-wheeled carriage drawn by a horse, is also very popular.
Of the students entering high school, about 40 per cent drop out. Mr. Khan felt

* * that the reason for this high Percentage is the lack of money, lack of interest on the part of the students, lack of variety in the curriculum, and the rigorous courses of study and difficult examinations.
Pakistani students do not take an important part in the politics of the country. They do have a Students Council, which, like American Student Councils, helps run the affairs of the school.
Mr. Khan, keenly interested in Lincoln High and its activities, has made many friends among the student body. He believes LHS is "one of the best."

Links - Rockets Collide; Rivalry In 24th Year
Tension builds around the gym this week as the Lincoln High basketball team prepares to meet traditional rival Lincoln Northeast Friday at 8:00 p.m. in Pershing Auditorium. Top honors on this weekend's sports slate must go to this game, Lincoln High's first city fray of the season.
Record toppling has often been the order of the night since the teams first met in 1942, a meeting which resulted in a 26-17 Rocket victory over State Championship bound Lincoln High.
NODULLMOMENTS
Record for the two largest victory margins comes to LHS with 28 and 25 point edges per game. Although these tal1 ies may sound good, heartstoppers are more common, the average margin being nine points . Lincoln High's overall average last year was 15 points.
During the second year of play, 1943, the Links posted a narrow 34 - 33 win for the City Championship. The title remained through 1947, with 29-23, 27-23, and 26-22 scores. In' 47, NE stopped the Lincoln High cagers 2520 in District Tourney play.
TITLESBOUNCE
Northeast dominated the '47-' 48 season with 30-22 and 33-29 scores.
Links recovered the next year for a squeaky 30-29 victory, but encountered a drought with Rocket triumphs in 1950 and 1951.
Lincoln High got by with a 42-37 margin in 1952, only to lose out to Rocket foes in District play.
The next year saw the Rockets squeeze by with a 43-41 call. RECORDWIN
"Big" was the only word for LHS in the '54-'55 season with 8 players six feet or over. The Links romped to a 68-40 win. Allan Graves, the 6 feet 8 inch center, scored 32 points, doubling the city record of 16. Link scoring sprees were responsible for the 58-33 tromping of NE in 1955. A 5944 dumping of the Rockets added a District Trophy to the Lincoln High shelves.
JINX, TITLES
Friday the 13th proved a Links jinx as they fe ll under a last minute Rocket barrage, 49-45, Northeast rolled on to a 53-45 District triumph.
In 1957, a Rocket tip-in came seconds too late as City Champs LHS handed them a 4443 defeat.
A 49-31 shellacking by the Rockets in 1958 marked a step back in Lincoln High' s climb to its first State Championship since 1946. Again state champion in 1959, the Links knocked off NE, 50-37, in District warfare. The season game, a low mark for the Lincoln High squad with only a 322 shooting percentage, was enough for a 43-24 decision. Fans and team alike were saddened by the resignation of Lyle Weyand, basketball mentor from 1941 to 1959.
NORTHEASTDOMINATES
The next year saw Links wins by margins of 43-39 and 47-36. Although NE was held scoreless from the field in the last quarter, they handed down a 41-36 defeat.
Northeast held sway in '61 with 58-53, 58-56, and 72-57 wins.
Season play was split in 1962 with a 58-43 count to the Links and a 62-52 Rocket victory. The Northeast team pulled an 84-72 District victory.
COMEBACK
"King" LHSreigned in 1963 with 3 victories--36-33 , 5738, and 58-52
Last year's competition was a trio of heartstoppers. City Champs Lincoln High dominated season play 65-63 and 47-44. The second game ranked as an all-time suspense high, as fans stood and screamed throughout an action-packed fourth quarter. Link hopes were quelled in District competition as NE sneaked by for a 54-50 win.
THRILLSONTAP
The series stands at 29 wins for Lincoln High to 22 for Nor-theast. Noone can be sure what will happen as the crosstown rivals meet Friday, but some real basketball playing i~ t c be expected.

OmahaCentral defeated Lincoln High, 58-54, in the opening basketball game for both teams. Sparked by Craig Butler and Arthur Allen, Central led throughout the game although usually by a slim margin.
Down 29-24 at the half, the Links opened the second half with a press and closed to within two points. With Joe Weyandand Henry Jackson doing the ball hawking on defense, and Frank Brill leading the way on offense, the Links played catch-up ball the rest of the game.
The difference of the score was made at the free-throw line, where the Links could collect on only 33 per cent of their free tosses. Lincoln High hit on 40 per cent of its shots from the field, while Central connected for 38 per cent of its shots from the field.
High scorer for the Links was Frank Brill with 25 points followed by Weyand with 12, and Don Crist with 6.
The Lincoln High Reserves under Coach Harold Scott opened their season with a win over the Central Reserves. Sparked by the scoring of Mike Diffenderfer and the ball handling of Chip Maly, the Link Reserves pulled out a close one.

Sommers Asks Release From Duties; StepsDown As Head Varsity Coach
Jim Sommers, head Varsity coach at Lincoln High School since 1958, has asked for and been granted a release from his coaching duties.
Sommers gave no reason for his decision to "step down."
In a statement submitted to William Bogar, principal of Lincoln High, Sommers wrote: 111 have enjoyed very much my opportunity to work with those who have been associated with the Lincoln High School football program. 111 request that my name be withdrawn from future consideration as head football coach."
HEADCOACHIN' 58
Sommers came to Lincoln High in 1956. He served for two years as assistant Varsity Coar.h under Ed Schwartzkopf, assuming full charge in 1958. As head coach of the football squad, Sommers compiled an overall record of 32 wins, 30 losses, and 1 tied game, His best season came in 1961 when he ended with an 8-1 record.
Commenting on Sommers resignation, Mr. Bogar says, "I am very appreciative of the contribution which Jim Sommers has made to the faculty and students and to the program of interscholastic athletics at Lincoln High School.
"His dedication to Lincoln High traditions and his conscientious, energetic hard work are inspirational to man:vof us.
Wrestlers Pin G.I.
Omaha Westside, led by 6' 6 11 John Buller and 6' 8 11 Jerry James crushed Lincoln High in a basketball game played at the Westside gym. Buller scored 26 points and James added 17 as the Warriors won, 73-56.
Westside's decided height advantage tore the Link's zone apart besides controlling practically all the rebounds.
Lincoln High did manage a small scoring punch as Joe Weyand scored 20 and Frank Brill added 16. The other three starters could manage only 6 points among them although Steve Hanneman came off the bench to add 10.
Westside was never behind although their margin was cut to five, midway during the third quarter. Just as the Links looked as though they might make a gameof it, Weyand and Hannemanfouled out.
The Links wrestlers made it a clean sweep of Grand Island as they easily outscored GI by a 35-15 margin.
Ken Benton (133) and Harold · Simpson (154) were the only Links to win by a pin.
The Links took all but three weight classes. Other winners were Gary Campbell (95), Gary Baum (112), John Ogden (120), Larry Cole (127), Carl Godwin (138), Rod Stamm(145), Bernie Sommer (180), and Harry Goeglein (165).

Senior Kindergartners Abandon Childish Pursuits. , Activities Prove Same -Under Different Name
Have you learned as much as a senior in high school as you did as a kindergartener?
Let's hope so because the only difference between the senior year and kindergarten is--12 years! You are basically the same type of student you were when you entered kindergarten.
Rememberway back when your mother brought you to school on that first day, smiling because she would be free of you for half a day for the next year? She still smiles, but now it is because you spend the whole day at school.
A LINE FOREVERYTHING
In kindergarten you waited in lines for everything----crayons, dull scissors, paints, paper, instruments, and milk (to name a few). Today you don't really wait in lines, but at times it surely seems like it in these crowded halls.
In kindergarten you had your first real chance at modern art. If you remembered to bring your paint apron from home, you were allowed to finger paint. The object of finger painting was to see how much paint you could get on your neighbor before he could get any on you.
Finger painting was fun--the wonderful feeling of the lovely wet paint squishing between your fingers ... those terrific designs you made... just like modern art!
In high school, you still "take" art, although it is on a much higher level than finger painting. You still use paint but now you have advanced to using brushes. It may be debatable if the advancing years have improved your talent. In fact some of your "early period" work may surpass your present efforts!
PUPILNAPTIME
In high school, teachers have a time to themselves known as a planning period. This is a break during the day they may call their own. In kindergarten they had the same interval only it was known by a different name--pupil nap time.
The requirements for nap time were comparatively easy; all that was necessary was a personally autographed rug. If you forgot your rug at home you had to sit at the table and have your nap. Every smart kindergartener remembered his

rug so he could lie on the floor and play peek-a-boo.
Peek-a-boo or "the peek check," as it was more commonly called, meant lying on the floor on your rug, then slowly and secretively raising your arm to see if anyone around you was asleep. If you should happen to spot another kindergartener taking the peek check at the same time you usually broke into mad and uncontrollable giggles which soon spread to the whole room. At this point, the teacher left the room muttering something about "Never again!" Seniors have nothing comp-
able to a kindergartener's nap time. That is unless one wishes to consider study hall as somewhat the same. It seemed to be a ritual that all kindergarten teachers gather in the hall during pupil nap time. Once the teacher left the room the kindergarteners' fun began, much like the high school senior---once the teacher leaves.
At this signal, no longer did students lie quietly on their rugs. Suddenly, these mats were souped-up sports cars and it was up to you to out-race everyone in CONTINUEDONPAGE~
'Joiners' -Persistent Problem
"To be, or not to be, that is the question:"
This familiar quotation from Shakespeare could well apply to the club situation at Lincoln High.
To be an organization working for the benefit and betterment of members or not to be such an organization: that is the question the officers of clubs ask themselves as year after year they see the "joiners" join and disrupt the congeniality of the club.
Each newschoo 1 year the organizations •and c 1ubs at Lincoln High attempt to recruit new and interested members for the benefit and growth of the club and the individual. And each new year the annual clan of "joiners " (those who join clubs for ECApoints or pictures in the LINKS) respond in overwhelming numbers.
Whatcan be done about this undes i rab 1e situation within the clubs?
Perhaps one of the most effective methods of control] ing the situation would be for club officers to enforce the constitutional clause which provides that ... "lf, in any case, a member shall miss two meetings, either regular or special, without sufficient reason stated in writing and given to the soonsor before that meeting, he shall be automatically excluded from the club and its activities."
In addition, a questionnaire distributed among potential membersasking for reasons why they wish to join the club might discourage the "joiners."
A general entrance requirement, such as tryouts, which is practised by Mummersand Mimes,would allow those with a commoninterest and talent to enter.
To further advance the organ i zat i ona 1 competence of all Lincoln High clubs, an lnterclub Council cou 1d be es tab 1 i shed with representatives from each club. This Council would meet to discuss and solve problems common to all, among them the "joiner" problem.
As of now, many clubs at Lincoln High are not functioning as they should; one of the major reasons for this failure is the "joiner."
Retiring News Writers Detonate Inner Feelings
It has been the policy of the Advocate that the names of staff members should not appear in any columns .
However, in this, their final issue, we take the opportunity t? honor these hard working(?) young journalists in a special column--HANGNAILS
Being chosen cheerleader was the high point of the high school years for Gloria Adams. She is also on Red Cross Council and honor roll.
"Doyour best to support LHS sports as wel 1 as other school activities" is her message to others.
Opera orchestra, International Club, Lincoln Youth Symphony, and honor roll are among the activities included in Emily Fernbaugh's schedule. She likes the new lights best about LHS; her pet peeve is pep rallies.
Being chosen for Advocate staff is her most memorable moment. Emily's senior goal is "to have fun on Hobo Day and still graduate."
"You were given a decent chance, so learn all you can and take advantage of an education," advises Christine Hathaway.
People who are hypocrites proves to be Chris' pet peeve. Her most memorable experience was her selection, as a sophomore, into National Honor Society in the school in Germanywhich she attended. Being selected as a member of National Honor Society at LHS ranks as Chris' senior goal.
'~ake everyday count as if it were your last" is the advice from Hangnailer Judy Heller.
Painting, playing the piano, and reading take up her spare moments. Spilling rollers , all over a crowded bus station during a recent trip proved to be her most embarrassing moment. Before the end of her senior year she plans "to make better grades."
Reading, eating, and waterskiing (in season) are the favorite pastimes of Kathy Higgins. At Lincoln High she serves as Advocate managing editor, is secretary of International Club, a Pepper squad leader, and is a member of Writers Club, honor roll and Coed Counselors.
Kathy's most memorable moment "came recently when I interviewed the Dave Clark Five." Next year she plans to attend the University of Nebraska and major in journalism.
Graduating from college and touring Europe on a bicycle are the future plans of Margo McMaster, third page editor. Margo also serves as Scribe board editor and Writers Club president; she is a member of Red Cross Council and International Club.
"Being namedAmerican Field Service finalist as a junior" was the high point of her years at LHS.
Sports writer Roger Mulder keeps up with LHS sports by participating in Varsity football, basketball.and baseball, and serving as LClub secretary.
K. H.
Until a system is devised to rid the clubs of these persistent parasites, clubs at Lincoln High will be functioning at only a fraction of their potential efficiency.
Marcia Robinson, in the Business Administration Curriculum, plans to attend the University of Nebraska after graduating. "Graduating and having fun doing it" is her senior goal
People who talk about other people is Marcia's pet peeve, while "just doing nothing" is her favorite activity.
Art Club, Future Secretaries, Writers Club, Mummers, Peppers, Aeolian Choir, and Advocate--this lfot of activities belongs to Hangnailer Sandy Schneider "The fact that the school is so big you are always seeing new faces" is what Sandy considers the best thing about LHS. Her pet peeve seems to be misunderstood. After completing her senior goal to work harder and have more fun she plans to major in journalism at the university.
Mary Van Sickle , ex-second page editor of the Advocate, likes the friendly attitude and willingness to help students displayed by the teachers of LHS.
Mary's extracurricular activities, Red Cross, Home RoomAlternate, Lincoln Youth Council, International Club, and Horizon Club, back up her message to underclassmen: "Lincoln High offers many opportunities. Make use of them." To spell "embarrassing" correctly for Thumbnails is Mary's senior goal.
"A transfer from Southeast" was the most memorable experience for Hangnailer Janice VanVynckt. The unity and togetherness of seniors is what she likes most at LHS.
Advocate, International Club, Writers Club, Peppers, and honor roll comprise her busy schedule. "To work to do the best of myability" is her senior goal. She hopes to go to Europe this summer.
"You get only one chance to attend LHS, so make the most of it" is the message from Allan Weimer
Allan, who has served as the Advocate's business manager, also participates in L- Club, Varsity tennis, Lincoln Boys Choir, and Aeolian Choir.
Seeing the New York and the Seattle Worlds Fairs were his most memorable experiences,
Our last Hangnailer, Rota Zigurs, leaves this message "attend school not with the idea of making top grades, but also with the desire to learn something."
Rota's most memorable moment has been attending a Latvian song festival last year in Cleveland, Ohio. Her list of activities includes Advocate, Peppers, Science Club, Red Cross
"People who ask me why we lost the game" rate as his pet peeve, and "everytime we beat Southeast" becomes his most memorable moment. A sports event provided his most embarrassing moment when "players from both teams were on their hands and knees looking for mycontact lens, when it was still in my e.ve." 11H d"oun ing page-editors" is the favorite activity of Dan Piller, Advocate news editor. Comingto school at 8: 00 in the morning rates as his pet peeve, but he doesn't mind at all being able to leave at 2:30. Before the end of his senior year Dan plans to "try to get rid of my school phobia."

Former AFS Student Sends Links Greetings
Many Lincoln High students will remember Fusun Ungur, the foreign exchange student of 1964 from Istanbul, Turkey.
While at Lincoln High, Fusun actively participated
in the Stud ent Council, Peppers, and International Club. She was also in the Mummers Play, the All-School play crew, and on the honor roll. During the Christmas season UfS received this card:
Dearest Lincoln High Teachers and Students, Last year this time I was running down the corridors and talking to ypu. I miss you all very much and remember each of you with every little detailed memory that we shared. My past five months were full of activity of readjustment (which was much easier than I had thought it would be), getting ready for school and starting school. I am in the Bus. Adm. and Economics Department of Robert College in Istanbul, getting again adjusted to loads of homework and social life. I am working on our year book, and am also preparing to try out for the coming school play. I share my pictures and memory of "Tomorrow The World" with much tenderness.
I am going to write more from now on, I hope, because now I am used to the new school life and being a boarder--Oh yes! I am a boarder at the college because it is about 1 1/ 2 hours away from home.
I am hoping that everyone there is happy and fine. I send you best wishes for a brilliant New Year. May 1965 be as hapror as Possible
Love from Turkey, Fusun Ungur, '64
P.S. I would love to have letters from you. My address:
Fusun Ungur Bus. Adm. I Bebek Istanbul, Turkey

january 14, Southeast held a '1rehearsal" of second semester classes. Instead of attending their regular fifth and sixth period classes , students went to their second semester classes, spending 15 minutes in each class. The run-through, a new practice at Southeast, was designed to detect any problems in scheduling.
Southeast's National Honor Society has been reorganized to conform with the programs in the other Lincoln High Schools by recognizing the achievements of seniors shortly before graduation. It has previously been the custom to tap both juniors and seniors.
AYN GO IN~

ARTOF CARRYING
In kindergarten you also learned the marvelous art of carrying chairs. To carry a chair correctly, you must carry it in front of you so you can't see where you are going. You must carry it straight just as though your grandmother was sitting on it and you certainly didn't want to dump off your grandmother---or did you?
Now that you .are a high school senior you have advanced to carrying more complex articles such as books and notebooks of all shapes and sizes. And for those of you who are favored with Senior Comp., there are always those "misfitting" notecard boxes.
The alphabet was introduced to you in kindergarten through the use of a song. And to this very day, if you go in the library you can hear seniors quietly singing this song to themselves because they never really learned the alphabet and that's the only way they can locate a book.

PETERTAU RI NS TELLS OF WAR, REVEALS HORROR OF TAKEOVER
Horror was the first reaction of many listeners as they heard Mr. Peter Taurins tell of first-hand experiences in the 1940 Communist invasion of Latvia. He spoke at a recent program sponsored by Forum Club.
To emphasize his remarks, Mr. Taurins showed a film, "My Latvia," depicting the unbelievable suffering of the conquered peoples.
'WECANFIGHT'
Mr. Taurins says, "The most effective way we as individuals can fight the cancer of Communism is to be good Americans. Communists seek to create discord and distrust."
He spoke from experience, having been a teenager in
Latvia when the takeover occured. Communist brutality was responsible for the death of both his parents, and he himself spent several years in a prison camp.
The United States' foreign policy and U.N. operations were also discussed. Mr. 'Taurins felt both could be improved.
BOOKPRESENTED
At the conclusion of his talk, Mr. Taurins presented the school with a copy of The Unpunished Crime, a book by Alfreds Berzins dealing with Communist actions in the Baltic states. The book was accepted for the Lincoln High library by Forum Club president Bob Tucker.
Club Drafts Constitution
"The Art Club has set out upon a new project this year-organizing and putting some enthusiasm into their meetings," reports Luisa Valcarcel, chairman of the newly created Agenda Committee.
Other members include Judy Diekmann, Jeanelle Myers, Judy Norden, Randy Rhody, Sandy Schneider, and Patty Vrchota.
Although it is one of Lincoln High's oldest clubs, Art Club just recently discovered that it lacks a constitution. A committee met
Hi Links,
during Christmas vacation to remedy the situation.
Included in the constitution are provisions for a new system of elections, a permanent agenda committee, and specific requirements for club membership.
"With the adoption of the constitution by club members, Art Club has taken a step in the right direction, 11 says Luisa.
Art Club sponsors are Mrs. Nancy Conover, Mrs. Sherith Decker, and Mrs. Shirley Martin.
Well, how does it feel to get back in the swing of things at good ole' LHS?
I sure hope that all of you had a very joyous holiday and that all of your Christmas wishes came true.
Howdid you all enjoy that great game that our basketball team played against Creighton Prep? I'm sure that you were all just as excited and happy as I was. This is just the beginning and I amsure that there will be many more just like that one.
Say guys, along with this, Ward Men's Department is receiving new spring sport coats each day. They have a real cool selection, including blazers and cardigans. The colors are beautiful--cranberry, red, navy, and black and the price is lower than you could imagine.
Also, you fellows that haven't got your letter jackets can get one at a special price of $12.95. So come in and look them over.
Before I go I have one last thought for you all to keep in mind. IT'S NEVERTOOLATEFORTHELINKS!!!

THEPAUSETHATREFRESHES
As you run madly through the lunch line in school you may not realize that it is very much like Jmilk-lunch time in kindergarten. There one monitor would pass out the milk to his table, as another would pass out the straws, and still another would distribute the napkins.
The napkins were for those kids who got so busy blowing bubbles that they blew them right out of the carton! If you were lucky, the straw giver-outer was a friend of yours, so the straw got to you unbent.
Kindergarten was days of milk lunches, naps, London Bridge, Ring-Around-the-Rosie, rhythm bands, long lines, and building blocks. As a high school senior you have left all this in the past and have entered a teen-age world of homework, basketball games, Keen Time dances, the Beatles, and drive-ins. The only way you can return to those "good old days" is to tune in your TVset and watch Romper Room.

of a good leader? A difficult question but Roger Stark, Lincoln High senior, should be able to answer it. He is the recipient of the 1964 Elks High School Leadership Award, presented each year by the Elks Lodge Number 80 of Lincoln.
The "contest" was open to any high school senior. Applicants were judged on the basis of initiative, organizational ability, and the influence they exert on others.
Special consideration was also given to records in school, church, and local organizations. Service projects, extracurricular activities, and the presentation of brochures displaying their leadership accomplishments were included in the judging.
Participants were also required to submit recommendations from various persons, and to supply evidence (via newspaper clippings and so on) of their leadership qualities.
Roger comments that it took him about two weeks to prepare his brochure.
Roger has been active at Lincoln High as Student Council President. He is a member of Forum Club, and an opera orchestra member. He belongs to Lincoln Youth Symphony,

THE ADVOCATE COUNCIL CORNER
The All-Sports Banquet promises to be a big success~ this spring. Coach Bob lle.vaney has. accepted an invitation to speak at the banquet. The theme, decorations, and publicity are already being planned.
A permanent plastic "L" will be put on the floor of the lounge within a few weeks. The tiled "L" has been selected because of its durability.
The Student Council's Leadership Workshop, held December 13 and 14, was attended by 100 club officers. Key note speaker, Dr Robert Frogge, Supervisor of Social Studies at University High School, spoke on group dynamics and the place of clubs in the educational system.
Participants studied par1 iamentary procedure - and group dynamics, and took time for club evaluation sessions.
During the Christmas season, the Council bought the ll'oliday spirit to Lincoln High with the tree in the Lounge, the aluminum tree in the front hall, wreaths for all the teachers, and Christmas music piped into those rooms desiring it.

Teen Tales Told
Teen-age is when youngsters aren' t bright enough to realize their parents couldn't be that stupid.
An adolescent is a teenager who acts like a baby whenyou don' t treat him like an adult.
Adolescence isn' ta period. It's a coma.
In 1960, with only one returning letterman, the Links capped a two-year win streak with th e 33rd straight victory as they stopped the Knights 40-30.
Al though the Links had a 15point lead at one time, in the first '61 meeting, Southeast fought its way to a 35-34 triumph. All-time sports standout, BobbyWilliams, the only LHSthreat, scored for 18 points as the Lincoln squad fell with 11 seconds remaining. However, the Links came back later in the season with a 63-56 win.
DOWN , NOTOUT
First blood in 1962 went to Southeast by a score of 54-51, but the mighty Links again bounced back to win, 51-37, the second time around.
The next two years saw Lincoln High resume the place of the conqueror. In '63 the Knights were held down by scores of 65-49 and 64-51.
Last year the Links had to really work for a 62-61 triumph, although they led all the way LHS also took a later 73-65 decision.
Earlier this season, despite a late Links threat, Southeast won a 64-61 game.
The second game between Lincoln High and Southeast ought to prove exciting.
P.S. Good luck at Benson and Boys Town, Links!

Creighton Prep
Lincoln High knocked off previously number-one-ranked Creighton Prep, 61-58.

All-Sports Championship Returns to Lincoln High
Ken Benton, who is in the Engineering Curriculum, is currently participating in his third year as a Varsity wrestler. He placed second in the state meet as a junior. He is also an active member of L club.
His favorite pastime is "twist in' it up," and his favorite sport is wrestling because "you have no team mates to help you."
His senior · goal is to take state in wrestling.
After graduation, Ken plans to attend Oklahoma State University to wrestle and major in Fire Technology.
He likes best about LHS the fine work Harold Scott does for athletes, no matter in what sport th~y participate.
Ken states, ''Participation in sports has helped me to learn that what you get out of sports is the direct result of what you Illt into them."
Johnsen
Mick Johnsen, a returning state champion in three events, is in his third year of Varsity gymnastics.
Mick lists gymnastics as his favorite sport because, he believes, "individual sports give you a greater feeling of accomplishment."
His most memorable moment came in last year's state meet when he tied teammate Dennis Winslow on the rings. Mick's biggest peeve is "people who sand the chalk off the horizontal bar."
Whennot practicing gymnastics he enjoys doing automotive work.
Mick plans to attend the University of Nebraska after graduation.
After a three-year drought, Lincoln High has again captured the Nebraska high school All-Sports Championship. This award represents the best effort of any Nebraska high school in the ten competitive sports during the year 1964, as com~iled by the OmahaWorld Herald. tennis, placed eighth in basketball, and ninth in cross country.
State Championship performances in gynmastics and golf helped earn the Links a total of 51 points on the World Herald's State Grand Champion chart. The nearest rival, Lincoln Southeast, compiled 39 points.
mNORSPORTS-POINTBUILDERS
The main support for Lincoln High's 1964 success came in the minor sports categories. The Links ranked 15th in the major sports (football, basketball, track) standings. Creighton Prep and Omaha Tech tied for the championship.

SEVENINDIVIDUALCHAMPS
Lincoln High boasted seven individual state champions. They were Mickey Johnsen, Dennis Winslow, Danny Kolb, Steve Chandler, gymnastics; Mike Disney, wrestling; Rich Gordon, swimming; and Charles Borner, golf.
The only other school in Nebraska to capture two state titles besides Lincoln -High was Omaha North, which was victorious in cross country and tennis.
The pattern that has been forming during the past several years was followed again during 1964 as the Omahaschools dominated the major sport categories, and the Lincoln and out-state schools swept many of the minor sport titles.
Of the top 10 schools in the major sports standings, 7 were from the Omaha area. The only Lincoln school to break into the major sports' elite was Lincoln Northeast, which fini~hed fifth. Southeast finished 13th in major sports.
Creighton Prep and Lincoln Southeast tied for the AllSports title in 1963.

Anniversary Album: 1965 Joy Night Reviews Show's 40-Year History
It seems that kids got weary of school long before the present generation ever came up with the idea, so back in 1925 they asked a faculty committee to allow students to present their own springtime boredom-breaker, Joy Night.
The teachers not only approved , but decided they, too, wanted to get in the picture. Joy Night's purpose was "to give pupils and faculty a chance to work together in funmaking enterprise and to discover new talent. 11
The evenings of April 17 and 18, 1925, saw a total of 2000 people witnessing the first Joy Night, tickets selling for 25 cents each.
The two-part variety show featured a series of ski ts by the faculty and by students, followed by a minstrel show presented by the glee clubs.
A total of 125 persons participated in the show; a car was even driven across the stage in one skit!
SOLIDSUCCESS
Joy Night was such an entertainment success that it was made an annual event. For many years, Joy Night followed a variety and minstrel theme.

Music Man Takes Over; Results: Laughter, Fun
An obscure little Iowa town of the early 1900' s comes alive in the light-hearted comedy The Music Man, the 1965 opera selection to be presented in the Lincoln High School Auditorium, February 25 and 26.
The opera will be presented by the Aeolian Choir under the direction of Mr. Ivan Caldwell. Curtain time is 8:00 p.m.
The Music Man, by Meredith Willson, is a recent, tuneful Broadway hit. The story concerns the career of one Professor Harold Hill, the music man (Mike Douthit), an unethical traveling salesman who persuades the citizens of River City to form a band and to buy nonexisttent uniforms.
COMPLICATIONSARISE
After this successful venture, he plans a fast "getaway"; however, complications arise when he falls in love with Marion Paroo, the town librarian (Diane Filbert).
Gilbert Morgan, a Sheridan elementary school student, is playing the part of Winthrop Paroo, the librarian's little brother.
The delightful story of these "midwestern folk" brings back memories or shows a glimpse of the songs, costumes, and way of life during this gay era.
Tunes such as 1176 Trombones, " "Wells Fargo Wagon," and "Columbia the Gemof the Ocean, " sung by the Aeolian Choir, describe the colorful life of typical 1912 Iowans.
All major and minor members of the cast. listed in the last i~sue of The Advocate, were selected from the choir by a faculty committee composed of Mr. Caldwell, Miss Dorthea Gore, and Mrs. Maxine Faust.
CASTHARDAT WORK
Aided by student director Ric Marsh, cast members have been devoting much time and effort after school and during class in preparation, learning the music and speaking parts of The Music Man.

The gentlemen must don long sideburns, bow ties, and top hats to create the proper "music man" atmosphere . Admission is $1 or by acti vi ty ticket.

"Big brother is watching you" m&y be said to Nebraska teens in the near future. A bill, pending in the Nebraska legislature, would prohibit any person under 18 from being admitted to places of pub! ic entertainment unless accompanied by a parent or other authorized person or un-
floor shows, indoor and outdoor movies, plays, dances, fairs, and carnivals. Permission would be required to be written on blanks provided by each establ ish.ment and would be val id for
six months.
Such a measure as this can only be termed extremely unrealistic.
In the first place, the six-month period of validity makes the censorship on movies, plays, and floor shows ineffectual. For example, a theatre might feature Walt Disney's Cinderella one week, and Crime and Passion at Elmtown High the next.
Secondly, must y9ung people be kept in a well-supervised playpen until the day when they are on their own? Many teens begin college or careers at 17, nearly all the others at 18. Furthermore, many of these will be away from home. The sudden freedom produced by such a situation may spell TROUBLEfor the young person who has always been so closely watched that he has never even been trusted to choose his own fun!
rf boys and girls of high school age are responsible enough to plan their education and 1ife work and to earn moneyfor many of their expenses by holding jobs, surely they are able to judge between right and wrong. Senators whosupport this bi 11 might consider that the pastimes the proposal would ban might be far safer than those found by bored teenagers.
Although this measure would help parents keep track of their offspring, most responsible parents have a pretty good idea where their teens are spending their ti me. Those who don't probably wouldn't probably pay much more attention, anyway.
Nebraska teenagers can only hope that the senators wi11 recognize them as trustworthy and sensible enough to merit their rejection-, of this restrictive and ridiculous bill in the legislature.

These old Advocates found in a house attic by Mr. Dwayne Kushner and donated to Lincoln High have a great deal of value in completing the sequence of Advocates on record.
Attic Yields Ancient Advocates To Complete Sequence for File
Have you ever rummaged through an attic on a rainy Saturday afternoon? No doubt your efforts have proved interesting! Antiques, old love letters, Dad's moth-eaten army uniform and other forgotten items are reminders of time past.
A similar exploration, although not in the least romantic or nostalgic, made by Mr. Dwayne Kushner resulted in a discovery of great interest and value to Lincoln High School. It seems Mr. Kushner was salvaging the contents of a house on 27th and Vine before its proposed razing, when he came across Advocates dating back as far as 1910. His daughter Sherrill, Lincoln High sophomore, donated these old "memories" to the high school.
The recent contributions are most valuable to the newspaper files for they complete, to a great extent, the sequence of Advocates on record. The II file" represents an account of Lincoln High history, originating with the 1896 edition, an irreplacable item.
1BUILDINGNUMBER"
Included in the recent contribution is a 1915 "Building Number" of the Advocate. It was dedicated to the introduction of Lincoln High School's newly constructed building--a "palace of learning." It is extremely coincidental that this rare 1915 issue should appear exactly 50 years after it was printed!
According to the early Advocate, students at Lincoln High were offered many wide and varied departments from which to choose majors and minors. In addition to the traditional Departments of Art, Physical Education, Eng1 ish, Music, Mathematics, Science, and History, were the Normal Training Department (the purpose of which was to train students to teach in rural schools in Nebraska), the Departments of Agriculture, Manual Training, Botany, Commerce, and several others.
The Department of Physics occupied a "suite" of 8 rooms on the second floor. When filled to its capacity the rooms would accommodate 360 students during a single day.
(Wow!)
Lincoln High' s Manual Training Shop was a "first" in the school's history. The room was equipped with a turning lathe and 20 Oliver benches (?), each fitted with a full set of tools.
Printing, as a school subject, was a comparatively recent course to students in
students to have a shorter noon hour , so that they can be dismissed earlier and still have long periods."
The typical lunch was considered to consist of some kind of sandwich and drink, which would cost anywhere from 6 to 10 cents. The more "elaborate" lunch would be a sandwich, potatoes, meat, salad, and dessert, all of which would cost from 20 to 25 cents
Lincoln High School had finished a successful football season in 1915---every game played was won and the goal line never crossed by the foe. The "sons of the Red and Black" scored 399 points to their opponents 3, playing some of the strongest teams in and out of state.
"FOOTBALLSPECIAL"
In 1914, an entire Advocat e was dedicated to the football team. "The Football Special" spotlighted team members whohad fini.shed the season undefeated. Lincoln High totaled 287 poimts and left the slate of 9 opponents far behind with a grand total of 9 collective points!
In 1913, the Advocate dedicated an issue to its seniors. This practice apparently has been replaced by the LINKS, although somewhere along the line a good soul has been generous to the juniors and sophomores and included them in the publication.
The discovery of these old Advocates proves at least to Advocate staff members, that attics are very productive. Why don't you try rummaging through your attic! Whoknows ---you might even come up with the original plans for the PanamaCanal. * * * * * *

Getting the lead in the 1965 Opera rates· as Thumbnailer Mike (Perry) Douthit's most memorable experience.
Lincoln High's "Music Man" lives up to this name through participation in Boys Octet, Lincoln Boys Choir, and by singing in a folk group. Appropriately, future plans for Mike, who is in the Teachers Curriculum, include teaching vocal music.
Walking around the piano in choir on his birthday rates as his most embarrassing experience. He especially likes the fine spirit and tradition at Lincoln High along with the good student-faculty relations.
Mike, who considers "doing well in my studies" important enough to be his senior goal, advises underclassmen to "never let : social affairs interfere with your school work."
"study hard, but enjoy the fun of high school because too quickly it is over and all that is left are memories." This bit of philosophy comes from our next Thumbnailer, Melodee Eno.
When she isn't "studying with a certain boy, which is her favorite pastime, Melodee is active in Opera rehearsals and Cheerleading.
She likes "the wonderful teaching staff and the friendly students who all want the best for LHS" most about Lincoln High. People who call her "Shorty" or "Runt" is her pet peeve.
Being chosen Reserve Cheerleader, her most memorable experience, seems also to have indirectly caused her most embarrassing experience which was being knocked down by one of the basketball players during a Reserve game. Melodee , who is in the Arts and Sciences Curriculum, includes attending the University of Nebraska and studying elementary education in her future plans. This year, however, her senior goal is to make her senior year even better than the two previous.
"The friendliness and ease of atmosphere" are what Thumbnailer Doug Campbell likes best about Lincoln High.
Boys Octet, "L" Club, and wrestling keep Doug busy in school, but otherwise his favorite pastimes are loafing and driving.
Living in England for three · years and touring Europe is Doug's most memorable experience. His must embarrassing one hasn't happened yet. People who complain about his writing is his pet peeve. ·
"nave fun, but study hard" Doug tells fellow classmates. Taking this advice to heart, his ownsenior goal is to make honor roll at least once during high school.
Doug, who is in the Business Administration Curriculum, plans to attend the University of Nebraska or Iowa State next year.
If Thumbnailer Diane Filbert has anything to do with it, the LHSOpera wi 11 be one not to miss. Diane feels that "no matter howdifficult it seems when trying to accomplish your goal, you must never give up." Her senior goal is to make the Opera a success.
Diane 1ikes best the opportunity of ta -. king part in the many different activities ~bout Lincoln High and takes advantage of it. Her list includes Girls Octet, Mummers, Aqualinks.

If Sept. Hath 30 Days
Why Hathn't the Rest?
11Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November... " so the ancient rhyme goes Have you ever wondered what it would be like if we had no calendar, no sense of time? What is a calendar anyway? You may say, 110h , that's simple, it tells days, months, and years. 11
Well, it's not quite that simple, In ancient times the Egyptians determined the length of the year by seedtime, harvest time, feast days, and also by observing that the sun did not rise and set at the same points on the horizon _every day during the year.
From the early Roman era to the present time, the calendar has been based on the rotation of the earth around the sun.
MARCHBEGANYEAR
The early Romancalendar consiste!l of 10 months, beginning with March and ending with December. January and February were added in 713 B.C. by NumaPompilious.
After the Roman calendar came the Julian calendar , named after Julius Caesar, who had much to do with its reform.
The calendar in use today is the Gregorian Calendar named after Pope Gregory XIII. Pope Gregory thought the Julian Calendar too long, because, according to the Julian Calendar, the year was 365 days, 6 hours long. The true solar year is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes in length. Although this small fraction of time may not seem important, in the course of centuries this minute error would amount to several days and eventually to years.
STILL UNPERFECTED
Although modern man would be lost without it, the present-day calendar has manydefects. It's unequal month lengths and varied holidays cause many inconveniences to commerce and industry.
In the future, scholars believe, the calendar will show a year of 364 days with an exact numberof weeks so that any particular date would always fall on the same week day and on the same day of the month.
This new Commercial Calendar would make up the 365-day normal year and a 366 - day leap year every four years by adding two days to the year; leap-year day and year-end day. Leap-year day would be kept out of the weeks and would become a national holiday.
Next time you look at a calendar, stop and think how much havoc and disorder the world would be in if there were no calendar.
THEADVOCATE Class Rotation -Answer To Hum-drum Routine?
What do you mean you' re tired of the same old schedule month after month? Could it be that interest in a schedule never dies, it just fades away.
According to the Hillsdale Scroll, an exchange paper from Hillsdale, California, students tend to tire of the same old schedule day after day. What could alleviate such a problem? In this California high school, they believe they have arrived at the one sensible solution.
Their answer is to shuffle the sequence of the periods from month to month. For instance, during the first month of school the periods would run in the normal manner: first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth. For the second month, period two would be first, followed by three, four, five, six, and one. After three months, thesequence would be period tliree, four, five, six, one, and two.
Thus after six months time, si~ different rearrangements of classroom schedules could have been achieved.
BEDLAM!
Wouldn' t this work out great at Lincoln High? With different schedules already in operation, a change in period sequence would really create bedlam. Teachers who usually come for a 9 o'clock class might have to come at 8 o'clock
to teach a class which they would not normally have until 10 o' clock. Sounds confusing .. doesn't it? That's putting it mildly.
How would you like to have to come and start off the day with lunch in the cafeteria as soon as you get to school. You say it sounds like fun?
But just think, that would be all you get to eat until you get out of school some six or more hours later!
Or better yet, how about having lunch the last item on your daily schedule? With nothing to eat since an early breakfast and with an empty, aching stomach, students would buy increased amounts of food.
This could prove to be a benefit fc,r t.he cafeteria and surely no one on tne Board of Education would object to increased profits from its lunchrooms.
CREATURESOF HABIT
Despite dubious benefits achieved by scheduling in this manner, students, by habit, like to have three meals a day--with the noon meal at noon -not at some random time such as might be found in Hillsdale High School.
In other words, hungry ,Links would probably rather live with a "boring" routine than with this new errntic kind of scheduling.
From Thong To Plastic Buttons Decorate Attire
Can you imagine fastening your clothing together with animal sinews and thorns?
11A button is a small knob or disk attached to a gannent to fasten it by passing it through a buttonhole, or used as an ornament. 11 The word button originates from the French word 11bouton" meaning " . n somethmg pushed out.
Buttons were used as early as the time of the Egyptians. Ancient tombs of Egypt and Mycenae in Greece contained buttons, 2,500 to 4,000 years old, made of gold, glass, and earthenware. Al though prehistoric man didn't use buttons as we know them to day, he employed thorns and cord from animal sinew to fasten his garments.
POPULARITYINCREASES
The popularity of buttons made great progress during t~e 14th and 15th centuries. Composed of precious metals and jewels, the purchase of luxury buttons at Versailles frequently caused the bankruptcy of French courtiers.
Throughout American colonial. years, buttons continued to be supplied by Engl and, but the Revolutionary War and
the War of 1812 hal. ted their importation.
In 1827, the mechanical manufzcture of covered buttons began in Massachusetts; by 1850 there were sixty button manufacturers.
PLASTICPROCESS·
The use of plastic in button making offers oppo rtuniti es for var i ety. The uianufactures of plastic buttons starts with drawing and blueprints of the design; these go to a material shop where the pattern is traced on steel sheets inmul tiple dies.
Next a drill bores holes into a sheet where the dies have been cast. The button compound is placed into a molding from which pellets are fo nned. These are placed on a molding tray and receive the imprint of the steel dies. An operator takes the plates from the machines and then they undergo finishing touches.
Buttons, a tiny partofour heritage which we take so much for granted, are making history everday J

Self-Satisfaction Cited By 1936 Olympic Great
Lincoln High School boys had the experience of hearing Jesse Owens, winner of four gold medals in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, when he visited the school recently.
Tabbed "the world's fastest human" in the first half of the 20th century, Jesse brought home gold medals in the 100, 200-meter dashes , in the broad jump, and anchored the 400-meter relay team.
Mr. Owens told his audience that the medals do not have as much meaning as the intangibles that are gained by winning.
MOREIMPORTANTTHANMEDALS
"Winning gold medals is important to the person who wins, but in the 1964 Olympics, the United States won just enough gold medals to make other countries realize how great a country we are."
Mr. Owens was in Lincoln in connection with a YMCAmembership drive.
As great an athlete as he is, Jesse strongly emphasizes his belief that education comes first. "Your choice of school to further your education should not be influenced by the athletic scholarship you may be offered, but by what the school has to offer you and your interests."
Breaking many high school records when he attended school in Cleveland, Ohio, Jesse didn't lose often.
SATISFACTIONBESTREWARD
He says that he can truthfully say--from experience-that no one will succeed further than the amount of work he puts into his job. Hard work can lead to success, and success can be rewarding, but Mr. Owensfeels that one reward is more important than all others; "Gentlemen, it is not how many people are going to pat you on the back, but the satisfaction you receive from doing your job. 11
Links, Winless in City, Put Together 5-8 Record
Grand Island
With fine performances turned in by Don Crist, Frank Brill and Joe Weyand, the Links basketball squad outlasted Grand Island 60-56.
Trailing most of the game; Lincoln High finally caught the visiting Islanders in the third quarter and jumped to a six-point lead.the largest margin held by either team. This breather was short-lived as GI ran in nine straight points to force the Links into another comeback.
Down by three points with four minutes showing on the clock, Brill canned a twopointer and Crist hit a pair of free throws to put LHS ahead to stay.
A last minute challenge made the outlook doubtful as the GI' s closed the gap to 58-56 with 24 seconds left.
Weyand lifted the pressure as he scored his 17th of the night.
Brill led all scorers with 21 points, while Crist put together a strong board game and 11 points.
Southeast
The Lincoln High basketball team dropped its fourth straight city encounter as it fell victim to Lincoln Southeast, 68-49.
After battling from behind in the first half, the Links were able to manage a 29-29 tie at the intermission.
In the second half, the only bright spot for the Links was the scoring of Joe Weyand. Weyand matched the hot hand of Southeast's Doug Dworak basket for basket; however, Dworak's shooting, rebounding, and team leadership, plus help from teammates John Cunningham and Ron Burgess were too much for the icecold Links. Having only 15 per cent of its second-half shots hit the target, Lincoln high found its third-quarter collapse was too much to over-come as the Knights moved to a quick 10 point lead.
Building on this margin in the final quarter, Southeast coasted to victory. This ties with Lincoln Northeast for city honors.
Weyand and Dworak led all scorers finishing the night with 20 points each.

With some outstanding performances being turned in by Lincoln High athletes, the sports staff feels these boys should be rewarded by appearing as the Athlete of the Week. The first winner is Ken Benton. Recently competing in conference and district wrestling meets, Ken won his weight class very convincingly as he pinned all of his challengers.
Undefeated so far this year, he will be a top contender for state honors.
* *Hastings
In an matinee performance, the Lincoln High basketball squad tore the nets off as it bombed the visiting Hastings Tigers, 80-59.
Riding along on 50 per cent shooting from the field, the Links coasted to victory number 5 against 8 setbacks.
Leading by only six points at the half, Lincoln High broke the third-quarter jinx as it exploded for 26 points and followed that with a 23point fourth quarter.
Once again Joe Weyand led all scorers as he poured in 22 points. He had good support as Charlie Garret had 16, Frank Brill 17, DonCrist 12,
Formerly just an idea on paper, the Trans-Nebraska conference became a reality on Friday, January 29. The new league, consisting of teams from the three Lincoln public high schools, Grand Island Hastings, and North Platt~ held meets in swimming, wrestling, and gymnastics.

Evolution of a Loser
A national scandal was recently uncovered with the discovery that some cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy were stealing and sel 1 i ng tests.
Manywho are shocked by this might be even more shock, j at the amount of cheating taking place every day in high schools across the nation.
Cheating, to a large proportion of high schoo 1 students, is something that is forbidden but "all right if you don't get caught." Both the act and the attitude reflect a serious problem.
Cheating mayrange from "borrowing" an old report and handing it in as your own to using helps or copying answers on a test. Probab 1y re 1at i ve 1y few high school students could truthfully claim never to have used one of these many devices.
Why has this practice of cheating become so commonplace among high schoo 1 and co 11ege students of today?
The tendency to cheat sometimes develops in childhood. If not, teens are often driven to it by the many pressures that impel them to get good grades, to participate in numerous activities, to hold down part-time jobs, and still have time to enjoy "the best ye.ars of their 1ives."
More important than how cheating .§.!.2r1~ is how it can best be el iminated.
---=fti"e-timeto emphasize cheating as mentally and morally taboo is early in 1 i fe. Too many parents put too much emphasis on "getting to the top," with small regard as to how this is to be done. Anattitude like this is almost bound to affect the child with the ideathattheendjustifies the means.
If the cheating habit persists, or develops later, high school may be the 1ast chance to cope with it effectively. If classmates would refuse to help the cheater, their disapprova 1, if not his own conscience, would serve as a brake.
The high school teacher may also influence the student to drop this habit. One way would be to make a sincere effort to reach each student so he will have the d.esire to master necessary material. A second would be to enforce whatever penalty the individual teacher places on cheating. Too often this practice is simply ignored.
Exposing the cheater may put a strain on all concerned for a time, but helping a friend, student, or child to stop cheating might be the most important thing one could do for him.
Unless someone reaches the cheater early, the habit is bound to work to his disadvantage eventua 11y. The student who fails to graduate from high schoo 1 or co 11ege because he cou 1dn 't "fake" his way through an exam will probably suffer bitterly. Even sadder will be th.e person who is imprisoned for swindl.ing or embezzling, both forms of cheating.
Cheating may also take its due in mental anguish. There is little doubt that the one hundred-plus cadets who resigned from the Air Force Academy will ever beabletoovercomeor 1 ive down the shame and sadness they have brought upon themse 1ves and the proud school they represent.
In the last issue of The Advocate, we commented that LB 242, a bill prohibiting persons under 18 from entering many places of public entertainment without parenta 1 permission, was unfair and unpracticeable.
Weare happy to report that after a group of teenagers appeared to present the case against the bill, it was permanently killed.
High School Jurors Judge Peer's Violations?
Juvenile offenders in Lincoln might soon find themselves actually facing a jury of their peers!
A Lincoln Youth Jury, patterned after the successful program initiated in Jacksonville, Florida, two years ago, is one of the Lincoln Youth Council's current projects.
Thb proposed "youth jury" would sit in an advisory capacity to the municipal judge on criminal cases involving young people from 16 to 20 inclusive. Almost all the cases handled in Municipal Court are traffic violations. There may be a few shoplifting and minor in possession cases judged by the jury.
AWAITSJUDGE'SDECISION
This jury, approved by everyone involved, nowawaits only the decision of Lincoln Municipal Court Judge Thomas J. McManus,before it can become a reality.
The jury will make recommendations at the request of the judge, but the majority of cases handled by the jury would be "guilty pleas."
Jurors would be selected from membersof the Jury Committee of the Lincoln Youth Council. In order to qualify for membership in the Counci I an applicant mast be between a sophomore in high school and a senior in college, inclusive.
The Youth Jury Executive Committee would be responsible for the selection of jurors and for other phases of the administration of the Youth Jury, subject to the approval of the Youth Board. The Jury Executive Committee, whose Lincoln High members include: Margy Angle, Dave Beckmann, King Little, and Joan Robison, would be responsible to the Municipal Court.
JUVENILEOFFENSESDROP
The Lincoln Junior Chamber of Commerce would furnish adult supervision and financial support for all aspects of the Youth Jury program.
Boys Glee, Octet To Sing at Whittier
In other cities wheJe teen juries are now in effect, they have given offenders large doses of ridicule, and prevented parents from "buying" their kids out of trouble. The effectiveness of this jury is due to the fact that young people don't like to be criticized by others their own age.
In one city, juvenile offenses have dropped as much as 75 per cent since teen uries were instituted.
The youth may give recommendations regarding sentences only. Recommended sentences might include such penalties as having the offender attend traffic class, write essays, work as an orderly in hospital wards, as well as submit to the usual fines and jail sentences.
Although rulings ofthejuty are not binding, they may give a whole new flavor to teen justice.

"To leave Lincoln High as a name, not a number" is the senior goal of our first Thumbnailer Grant Story.
Grant's extracurricular activities include HomeRoomRepresentative, Joy Night Central Committee, Opera Orchestra, International Club president, and, his most memorable experience, acting in the 1965 Mummersplay "Harvey."
"The wide variety of courses offered" are what Grant likes best about LHS, and he lists Drama and Speech as his favorite subjects. Grant, who is in the Arts and Sciences Curriculum, plans to attend Nebraska Wesleyan University next year. He leaves underclassmen with this advice: "Become active in things around school, for you can't make friends sitting on the outside looking in."
"Get into lots of activities--it makes high school more fun and benefits you at the same time." This is the philosophy of Thumbnailer Barbara Bowmanwhoobviously takes it seriously participating in Mummers, as vicepresident; Aqualinks, as secretary; Peppers, Joy Night Central Cammittee, and the Mummers play. She is the fashion board representative of a local store. Her favorite pastimes, swimming and being in plays, keep her busy both in and out of school.
Barb likes "the friendly atmosphere between students and teachers at LHSand lists biology and chemistry as her favorite subjects. Being selected an AFS finalist in her junior year rates as her most memorable experience.
"Getting caught while dancing wildly to Westside Story on top of a table wins Barb' s most embarrassing experience contest, while her pet peeve award goes to a "certain flashlight."
Future plans for Barb, who is in the Arts and Sciences Curriculum, include attending the University of Nebraska, perhaps majoring in speech and drama.

Being chosen to serve on the Joynight Central Committee rates as Thumbnailer Liz Ostermiller's most memorable experience.
Liz likes the wide variety of people and the many opportunities at Lincoln High best and lists Peppers, Art Club, Joynight ~ntral Committee, and Opera crew as her extracurricular activities. Learning to play the piano is her favorite pastime.
People whothink they' re better than others is her pet peeve, and her most embarrassing experiences occur "when people don't believe it's a birthmark."
Art and ModernProblems are listed as Liz' s favorite subjects. She is in the Teachers Curriculum and plans to attend Nebraska Wesleyan University next year.
Since her senior goal is to have everyone come to Joy Night, her message to underclassmen appropriately is "come to Joy Night!!!·"

Clamoring Bells Ring Pulse of Life
"1 just can't go out in that snow again today!" has been said often by many of Lincoln High's less hardy souls during the recent rash of fire drills. Courage, people; think how lost we would be without bells (and also how you get out of class about five minutes for every drill )
Getting back on the track, bells have served many purposes over the years: as warning devices, for ceremonies, as musical instruments, and , most often, as the pace setter for daily lives.
Whohasn' t gotten up in the morning to the ring of a bell at some time? Who hasn't heard bells on Sundays or on traditional and well-lov e d holidays like Christmas or New Years?
We look for bells as regulators in our lives. If students don't hear the bell to pass to the next class everyone is on the edge of his chair--waiting A Sunday without bells would seem like any other day.
EVOLUTIONOF BELLS
Bells are used to proclaim our joys and our sadness, to warn us and to inform us, yet we are aware of them only when they are expected and do not ring.
In ancient Greece, the ringing of bells announced that freshly caught fish had arrived at the market. In times of war, bells rang to warn that enemies were approaching the city gates.
Bells have always been associated with religious services. In Rome, bells called the religious to the temples of the gods. Since the fourth century, Christians have used bells to summonworshippers to church.
HERALDNEWS,DANGER
During the Middle Ages in England, a bell rung at evening announced the curfew. For years , town criers used bells to attract attention to the news they brought.
People have used bells in many countries, as a fire alarm and to call council meetings. American pioneers often used bells to warn settlers of Indian attacks. Seamen use bells o~ floating buoys to warn ships of dangerous reefs.
PROTECTINGBELLS
Bells have been valued by many peoples as items of apparel and as religious symbols. Early American colonists carried bells to the New World to trade for furs and land with the Indians.
Later, while the pioneers used bells as warning devices, the attacking Indians wore them to battle as religious symbols of good luck. According to the Old Testament, the priests of the Israelites wore bells as protection against evil spirits.
Bells were first known in China in the ninth century B.C.; later their use spread to Europe and Asia and finally to America.
The bell has served many people in many ways. Today the most common use of bells known to students is the familiar school bell which tells them to go to classes and to Oops, there goes the bell! We' re off again!
THE ADVOCATE
'Swifties Are Corny'
Said Tom Starchily
At the present, we are experiencing an eerie calm in the world of humor No waves of brilliant wit are bearingdown on us, no piercing quotes leap up at us unexpectedly. During the past few years, joke fads have see n the birth of Tom Swifties, elephant jokes grape jokes, daub le-barrel led jokes, and aardvark jokes.
With the present lull in humor, some hold the opinion that Tom Swifties should be revived to set the world rolling merrily along once more.
Because of their subtlety, they never quite got a chance to mature, so an attempt i s here made to explain them once and for all.
Back in the good old days of the newfangled horseless carriage, youthful readers thrilled to the derring-do of a young hero named Tom Swift. Tom, the inventive prodigy, starred in such dramas as Tom Swift and his Electric Runabout.
AWKWARDADVERBS
Tom Swift was the creation of Victor Appleton, whose one literary distinction was that he insisted on expressing Tom's every mood. Tom was never content to just say
INTRODUCING ...
things, he had to say them adverbally: angrily, excitedly, or happily. Nor was the adverb always appropriate. Once, a passage read "Yes, it is an emergency all right," returned Tom slowly.
In Minneapolis in 1953, adman Earl Pease , remembering his boyhood idol, started a new dimension in puns, Tom Swifties, that was destined to raise a collective groan from the joke listeners of the world.
Ten years after the original joke, Pease's son, Paul, took the Tom Swifties to San Francisco, where it immediately grew to a mania.
The puns were so popular that Paul Pease collaborated with fellow advertising men to compile a book entitled Tom Swift ies.
ABSURDDIGRESSIONS
The merriment was ended one day when an uncultured humorist strolled onto the scene spouting classic queries like "How do you get an elephant out of a tub of Jel lo? 11 With a smirk he answered his own question. "Follow the directions on the back of the box."
"r ve been crushed by those darn elephant jokes," said Tom flatly.
Senior's Musical Skill Makes, Breaks Records
Did you know that Lincoln High School has a real, live, honest-to-goodness recording artist walking its halls every day? Although he's not a Beatie or a Rolling Stone, senior Jeff Sayre has made quite an impression with his musical ability.
Jeff is a member of Boys Octet and participates in the Student Council. His career in music began in 9th grade when he joined the chorus and got the lead •in the school opera. From then on it was "up the scale" all the way for Jeff. -
VOCALTALENTONEOF MANY
Vocal talent, however, is only one facet of Jeff's varied musical abilities. He also plays the baritone horn and guitar. He has even made a successful attempt at writing songs. Amonghis contributions are two slow ballads-"WalkMyWay"and "Caroline." The former has been performed by the Boys Octet, and both have been "aired" by various folk singing groups. Jeff plans to make records of them soon.
Jeff has participated in music at All-State for three years. Each year he has been selected to make a record as part of a special project of the All-State music division. He recorded under Roto Records, a Lincoln company.
In 1962, as a member of a vocal trio, he cut a record of "Heavens are Telling." In 1963, he and another AllStater recorded a duet of "we Kiss in A Shadow" and a solo of "surrey With A Fringe on Top." Both songs are from Broadway musicals. The year 1964 was rewarding in many ways for Jeff. He made another recording--"Make Believe" (duet) and "can I Forget You" (solo). These songs differ from the others in that they were broadcast on radios KFOR

Debaters Talk, Talk! Goal: National Contest
Hard work, travel, and fun have gone into the winning of nine trophies, six medals , and twelve ribbons, the results, so far this year, of the Lincoln High School debate team.
The debate team, which involves both debate and individual speaking contests is active in local competitions which may lead to national contests.
Sponsored by Mrs. Suzanne Merwick, th e d e bate team during the school year has participated in 16 tournaments througheut the states of Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas and Nebraska, and has three more tournaments to go.

Fleas Flee Mart

The "Flea Market" is coming to Lincoln High School! But don' t expect to buy any fleas there, for it is merely a "glorified rummage sale."
The Future Teachers Club will sponsor the "Flea Market" in the Student Lounge on March 30, at noon , from 2:30 to 4:00, and that evening at the Parents Group meeting.
The "Flea Market" received its name from similar sales in Paris , France - the "Marche aux Puces." Here, antique items were sold as the consumer bartered to lower the price on the object he wished to purchase. In Turkey, such transactions are called "Lice Markets."

What would your school do if a disaster occurred? How would you acquire school supplies? Would your school have first aid supplies?
HELPINGHAND
The Lincoln High School Red Cross Council will help some school overcome the tragedy of disaster. When the Council found it had a "disaster chest" in its possession, the members decided to fill it.
The chest, made several years ago by the industrial arts classes of Mr. Clarence Evans, who frequently aids Red Cross projects, is. to go to some area determined by the American Red Cross.
The American Red Cross organized the High School Chest program during the 1947-48 school year. The program was inaugurated because high school students desired to sponsor a project in which the entire school could participate. The program was different from the American Junior Red Cross Gift Box Program.

Items to be included in the chest are school supplies: recreational equipment, musical instruments, and first aid and health supplies. Funds for supplying the items will be taken from the money collected in last year's enrollment drive.
"People are our business, our only business." Such could be an appropriate slogan for the newly-formed HumanRelations Council.
The "council" , making its debut this year at Lincoln High School, originally began last summer with a group of faculty members. Out of a growing concern for human relations, these faculty members sought to create an organization where problems could be discovered and sol ved. The sponsors then "invited" some 30 students to compose the body of the organization.
Bl-RACIALGROUP
The HumanRelations Council is a bi-racial group. Their main goal is to improve the human relations climate in the Lincoln High School community, and to help people to understand and appreciate each other. Since their first official meeting last December 16, the group has done much in working for the good of Lincoln High and its student body.
At regular meetings, held every second and fourth Wednesday, Council members discuss and seek solutions to various problems , personal and general, present at Lincoln High as seen through the eyes of a minority group.

Governor Morrison's Speech Highlights Need for Traffic Safety
Mr. Frank B. Morrison, Governor of Nebraska, addressed a Lincoln High safety assembly recently. He spoke to the group on driving safety as it applies to all ages.
Appearing on the same program was Elvin F. Fralick, Dean of the College of Agriculture and HomeEconomics at the University of Nebraska, representing the Lincoln Sertoma Club. Dean Frolick presented a copy of the Declaration of Independence to each member of the Senior Class.
One of the keys to the traffic problem in Nebraska, as the Governor sees it, is a "need for young people to understand the meaning of 1 ife and its value. The greatest safety hazard in the state of Nebraska is human apathy. "
The lear~ing process must continue throughout life, says the Governor. "we live in a world of potential experience for all generations. There must be a concern for human life and its preservation amongall our citizens so that life may be lived to its fullest potential by al 1."

Ye Merry Ole Place
This year, England has set the style in every field, from music to fashion. This Saturday, March 6, Miller and Paine will present a style show featuring all the latest "mod" outfits from London, England! Colors range from striking black-and-whites, to multi-colored shifts. Special this year are the belted empire waists and the "middy blouse" look. See you at 1he Place from 11:00 to 1:09 for informal modeling of the "in" look!
Miller's is really stocking up for spring. The first shipment of swimsuits has arrived and is disappearing fast. Hurry and get yours now. Do you know what a "TummyTickler" is? We'11 give you a hint--it resembles a blouse and you tie it in a knot! Solve the riddle by dropping down to see us--soon!
Cheerio, Connie 'n Barb
P.S. Links take DISTRICT!
LACKOF COMMUNICATION
A lack of communication and understanding among age groups has led to the apathy of drivers concerning the value of human life. "we learn from the past and experience breeds experience," says Mr. Morrison.
"Fewof our citizens realize that the cost per year of traffic and accidents in Nebraska is twice that of operating the state government for that same time.
"Teenage girls have a chance to limit reckless driving among teenagers by setting safe driving goals for the boys they date. These goals are similar to the goals that are set for us all by the experiences of those of the past."
"Traffic accidents can be 1 imited if each driver develops his driving as a skill as an athlete develops his skill in a particular sport. Skill in driving means safety and responsiblity for the lives of others."
ANNUALPRESENTATION
Speaking in the same vein of knowledge gained from experience in the past, Dean Frolick, on behalf of the Lincoln Sertoma Club, presented a token copy of the Declaration of Independence to Senior Class president Trish Sultzbaugh.
The Sertoma Club annually presents a copy of the Declaration of Independence to each high school senior. This year's presentation is a printed folder including the Declaration and a short history of it. This is a departure from the facsmile of the document formerly presented Lincoln High seniors received their individual copies in home room classes.
The Sertoma presentation came as an addition to the scheduled safety assembly.
The Sertoma assembly, which was to feature Mrs. Frank Morrison as guest speaker, was scheduled for the Friday school was closed because of snow.
Club International:
Improves Student Relations
Unnoticed by the majority of Lincoln High students but very active for its members is the "most international" organization in the school, the NewcomersClub. This year five different nationalities are represented in this club.
BETTERRELATIONS
The purpose of Newcomers Club consists of improving the relations between new students and Lincoln High School. This is achieved by discussions about school institutions, parties to meet new friends, and giving representatives of various other clubs the opportunity to tell the Newcomers about their groups. Officers of the Newcomers Club for this semester are: Yolanda Bicoy, president;
Dick Essex, vice-president; Pam Carlson , secretary-treasurer.
The chairmen of the three standing committees include: Rose Crawford for the publicity committee, Carol Karchefski for the membership committee, and Vicki Clark for the program committee.

Student Council Exchangers
Hosted in City-wide 'Trade'
Looking around the school February 18, one may have noticed a few students keenly observing their surroundings as if taking mental notes.
These were the Exchange Day students who were representing the various intra-city high school student councils throughout Lincoln. They were here to observe the workings of Lincoln High's Student Council and report back to their councils.
The "Exchangers" were: Linda Dufnall , Doug Craftt, Lincoln Northeast ; Gretchen Owens, ~tike Dal ton, Pius X; Nan Burling, Roland Torrado, John Baumeister, University High; and Nan Webster, Bob Wolf, Lincoln Southeast.
JOHNJACOBS LINKS PEDDLER WINS CAMPAIGN
Winner of the 1965 Link s sales campaign, John Jacobs , has earned the title of "Links Salesman of the Year. 11 John' s sale of 68 of a total of 1325 Link s sold was the mos t sold by any of the 50 salesmen For his efforts, he will receive a free Link s Barb Stoughton, runner-up in the campaign with 58 copies sold, will be awarded $2 toward a copy of the Links.
Salesmen receiving service ratings for selling 40 or more copies are Randy Rhody (57 sales), Roberta Hall (52 sales), Shirley Aldape, Janice Black , Jim Hoke, Joy Pardubsky, Leslie Prai, Steve Slaikeu, and Keith Willis. ' Link s are now on sale in Room305 for $4.50.
TOURSCHOOL
Each Exchange student spent the day attending classes with a Council member. In general, they were given a complete tour of the school which included all areas from the janitor's room in the basement to the greenhouse on fourth floor
After a rather confusing da y o f twisting in a nd out among the crowd, scrambling for lunch, and discovering their feet were blistered, the "Exchangers" had these comments:
ijYou' re so organized."
"our lounge at Northeast is nothing like yours."
"Your school is so friendly."
KEYTO UNDERSTANDING
The idea behind the Exchange Day is that "the way to understanding is through knowledge" By sending and receiving representatives, the Student Council is gathering the knowledge of the other intra-city student councils. This is hoped to be a step which will bring about an even closer relationship between the Lincoln high schools.
Intra-city student council visitors are (seated) NanBurling, Gretchen Owens , Doug Craftt, Linda Dufnall; (standing) Nan Webster, Roland Turrado, Mike Dalton, and John Baumeister. Not pictured is Bob Wolf.
Links End Season, 7-9 Hope For District Surprise
0. SOUTH
The Lincoln High basketball team ended the regular season play with an easy win over Omaha South, 72-44.
The Links worked their way to an 18-10 , first-quarter lead before really opening up. Charlie Garrett led the second period onslaught with 10 points as he and Joe Weyand were on the scoring end of the Lincoln High fast break that netted a half-time score of 42-21.
Gaining only one point in the third quarter, the win-hungry Packers were never a challenge as the Links ran in 11 straight points at the start of the final period to boast the margin to 31 points, 67-36.
Weyandled the winners with 22 points, followed by Frank Brill with 18 , Garrett 17, and Don Crist 9.
0. TECH
Lincoln High proved its strength on th e home court as it held off the attack of John Mac key and the Omaha Tech Trojans, 68-65.
The Links, now 4-1 on the court at Johnson Gym, were again led by the trio of Joe Weyand, Charlie Garrett, and Frank Bril 1.
With the help of some early fouls on Mackey, Lincoln High ran in 15 straight points and were off to a 33-22 point spread before Tech could regain its poise and narrow the margin to seven points at the half.
After one of its best first half performances of the year, the Links jumped to a 15-point bulge in the second half before Mackey re-entered the scene. Being held out of the game just a little too long, his amazing 23 points in the final 12 minutes were not enough.
Brill' s 24 points, Garrett's 21, and Weyand's 16, helped the Links towards a 43 per cent mark from the field.
ATHLETEOF THEWEEK
•The outstanding athlete this week is Charlie Garrett.
As goes Garrett, so goes the Links. When Charlie was hot, Lincoln High was hard to stop. Garrett gave his opponents a rough time both on offense and defense. His quick defensive hands led to many easy two-pointers, while his faking and ball handling gave his defenders much to worry about.
BISHOPRYAN
The three-man show of Joe Weyand, Charlie Garrett, and Frank Brill, who garnered 23, 20, and 20 points respectively was not enough as sixth-ranked Bishop Ryan handed Lincoln High its ninth defeat of the year, 82-71. Behind the 31-point performance of Klaus Brotzki , the sharp-shooting Knights took the lead in the second quarter and never relinquished it.
The Links could never overcome a 6-point halftime margin as they got within five points at one time in the third quarter, but could never get closer than this
Swimmers-fourth

The Lincoln High swimming team splashed to a fourthplace finish in the State Meet held recently in the activities building pool'. A first-place finish was turned in by the 200-yd. freestyle relay team of King Little, John Farrar, Mike Hlevyack, and Rick McCurdy.

Students, first tested in the fifth grade, are now being rechecked in the tenth. The test will be administered to Lincoln High sophomores by a team of eight or nine Lincoln doctors, as-
local schools of nursing, the school nurse, Mrs. Alice Youngscap, and members of the Future Nurses Club.
The entire program, supported solely by the sale of Christmas Seals, is free to the students.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The test consists of an injection of the testing material under the top layer of skin, followed two days later by a reading. If a student is found to have a positive reaction to the test he is advised to see his family physician or the Department of Public Health, who will follow up with further examinations including chest X rays.
The contacts of the student who is found to react positively wifl also be checked in order to determine the person whoexposed him to the tuberculosis germ.
Personnel of the Lincoln public schools are required to have a chest X ray each year to protect the student body from a possible unknown case.

The 'Why' of
Joy Nite
One of the most anticipated events at Lincoln High has long been the annual production of Joy Night. Probably no other activity brings together so many students with such varied interests.
Manyof the acts ref 1ect rea 1 ta 1ent, many others are examp1es of ingenious novelty. Whatever the basis of the act, the work and enthusiasm of the participants have made Joy Night the great tradition it is today.
Joy Night provides a chance for talented students to make use of their abilities, which might often go unnoticed during the flurry of athletics or the recognition of superior scholarship.
Of course, any enterprise that has survived for ~O years must be profitable. Joy Night has perennially returned larger profits than any of the other annual productions.
Profits become part of the Student Fund, which is used in purchasing a tremendous variety of items for the students of Lincoln High. Amongrecent projects underwritten by the fund was the remodeling of the Student Lounge. Since this project has been completed, themajor expenditure now planned is more modern and efficient equipment for the stage.
It has become a real honor to be selectedforJoy Night participation, because competition is keen. Almost everyone wants to get in on the fun in some way.
Those whowi 11 "make" Joy Night '65 are hard at work, and we who will watch are waiting. All look forward to Llltl 'tlltri"fear, "Anniversary A1bum," being the biggest and best Joy Night ever.
We, the Jury ...
Teens may soon be sitting in the jury box of Lincoln courts. As reported in the last Advocate, a youth jury in Lincoln awaits only final court approval.
The jury would serve as an advisory body to the judge in cases involving teen offenders. If this p1an proves as effective as it has in manysections across the country, it should be an unqualified success.
A step in slowing down the rate of teen traffic offenses has already been taken. All teenagers who must go to traffic court are summonedto a Fri day night session. It seems probable that few teens wi 11 want to make many appearances at this inconvenient hour.
Most teens interested in the youth jury idea are glad to know that adu 1ts have cometo realize that the incidents of juvenile del iquency are actually very rare and that a large number of teens are well on the way to becoming mature thinkers. The opportunity for jurors to learn of the judicial system, certainly one of the most important features of democracy, is invaluable.
Witn care in the choosing of jurors and honest effort by those who are chosen, teens feel the jury can benefit a 11 concerned. It can teach the jurors fa i mess and res pons i bi 1i ty, and possibly give the judges somewhat of a new outlook.
Of course the most important outcome of the plan would be a substantial reduction in teen offenses. If the penalties imposed impress the offenders as they have in other courts, this result should also be forthcoming.
Students Judge Merits Of Juvenile Jury Plan
Recently the Lincoln Youth Council Das proposed that the city of Lincoln adopt a "youth jury" to "sit in an advisory capacity to the municipal judge on. criminal cases involving young people froru 16 to 20 inclusive. " Before the idea can become a reality it must be approved by Liucoln Municipal Court Judge Thomas J. McManus.
In the March 5 issue of the Advocate, a story explaining the plan was carried. After reading this explanation, how do the students of Lincoln High School feel about the idea?
Several students were asked by the Advocate to express their opinions and the following comments were recorded:
Ann Maly: "since we would be judged by others of our own age, we are apt to be more careful and to think before we do anything in order to avoid embarrassment in court. 11
Howard Farley: "I believe the youth jury would be a good idea because kids your own age would be more just."
MORERESPONSIBILITY
Vicki Weyhrauch: 11Lincoln should have a youth jury because it would give the kids on the jury more· responsi bi1 ity and the person heing tried more respect for the verdict. 11
Bill Riley: "It is a worthwhile project al though it wil 1 need a lot of conscientious work to succeed as well as support from us teenagers. 11
Peggy Fraley: 11I think students would pass fair judgments and give more constructive advice concerning juvenile crime. 11
Craig Rosenberger: "It would have value, but it would be hard to get kids to be on the jury. I know that I wouldn't want to sit in judgment on my friends.
Jeanne Schneider: 111 feel the youth jury should be given a chance to prove itself. Also, I believe that it has several good qualities which may benefit our youth. 11
NO PREJUDICE
Doug Lawson: 11As long as there wouldn't be any prejudice of people on the jury towards those they are judging nor any resentment by convicted persons, it would be all right."
Sherri 11 Kushner: "The youth jury is a good idea because the thought of having to be tried before kids of his ownage may make the offender think twice before he commits a crime"
IN SUMMARY
Summarizing the whole preposal, Roger Stark, past Student Council president, states: "Whenconsidering the merits of a youth jury, a young adult must decide for himself whether he feels his pee::s- tc- be c.::pable and responsible enough to pass judgment on his actions. In cities where such juries are now in operation there is much evidence that courts'""o1 this type are quite successful. Judging from this previous success, I feel the citizens of this city should give the Lincoln Youth Jury, now in its planning stages, their fullest cooperation and support. 11

Speak Out
How do you feel about the youth jury? We, the students of Lincoln High School, live in a democracy where one of our most precious rights is the freedom to speak out on any matter which may concern us.
The Advocate staff wishes to encourage any student comments or opinions in the form of letters to the editor that concern Lincoln High or its students and faculty. We would welcome these in order that we might exercise our freedom of speech and of the press.

"Life is what you make of it, so strive for the best, 11 advises our first Thumbnailer, Janet Kahler.
Janet must practice this rule as she has received such honors as being chosen Homecoming Queen and Reser,..e Cheerleader, her most memorable experiences. Besides cheerleaders, she participates in Student Council, Rainbows, and in her church choir and youth group.
Other than "people, playing the piano. and knitting," being outdoors is Janet's favorite pastime, &o(logically) her pet peeve is people who don't like fresh air.
The atmosphere and friendly people are what Janet likes best at LHS, and her favorite subjects are Choir and chemistry. She includes nursing in her future plans.

Being an A.i.1-City Wrestler rates as Thumbnailer Carl Godwin's most memorable experience.
Besides wrestling, Carl lists his extracurricular activities as L Club, and Home Room Representative. Outside school, his favorite pastime is eating. "Assistant" is Carl's favorite subject and Hobo Day is what he likes best about LHS(he thinks).
Losing in general is listed as one of his pet peeves and he states, "I think I've learned howto lose better than I' ve learned anything else so far in my senior year."
To try his best to last it out for 11 more weeks is Carl's senior goal. He is in the Arts and Sciences Curriculum and plans to attend his church college in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, next year.
To underclassmen, Carl leaves this pep talk: "Don't be satisfied to just give them a good fight--beat 'em, cause happiness is not being a knight, it's beating a knight!! and, ,as Mr. Beechner says, 'close only counts in tiflrseshoes! 11

"Always support LHS in every way for win or lose, LHS is still the best". This comes from Thumbnailer Jeanne Schneider whose most memorable experience, being chosen a Varsity Cheerleader, may help her to uphold .this spirit.
Jeanne likes the kids and 11the gigantic fun times we've had" best about Lincoln High. However, she dislikes "people who don't care about anything!" Her favorite subjects are International Relations and Modern Problems: Going the opposite way during the "Hello" cheer at Westside rates as Jeanne's most embarrassing experience.
Jeanne, who is in the College Prep Curriculum, plans to attend the University of Nebraska next year. She lists her senior goal as becoming a member of National Honor Society and having fun the rest of her senior year.
* * * * * *
To make this year the best year of all is the senior goal of Thumbnailer Tom Hansen. Tom, who is a member of Boys Octet, his church basketball league, and Choir 1 likes the personality of the student body and of the faculty best about Lincoln High. His favorite subjects are geometry and history, and his favorite pastime is "going out with the boys. 11
Going to All-State Music Clinic for the last two years and being chosen for Boys Octet are Tom's most memorable experiences. His most embarrassing one also has to do with music. It seems he fell flat on his face on the stage while walking up the stage stairs in last year's Joy Night Boys Glee act!
Tom, who plans to attend the University of Nebraska next year, leaves underclassmen with this message: "Do the best you can in your studies. High school days are one of the most important periods of your life. 11

It envelopes the citizen with its strange aura and sends him drifting on his cloud, grinning foolishly, allowing himself to be hypnotir.ed. What is this phenomenon? Twitterpated, some call it .. it's the sweet-scented sun Spring!
Everyone celebrates. Instead of hot chocolate, the citizens consume ice cream. They wear new and brilliant clothes. Putting the tops down on their convertibles, they ride laughing in the wind. They' re in no hurry to get home.
The world contracts spring fever and spins dizzily, changing color, changing outlook, changing pace, changing mood. In the gaiety of the event, the past is dimmed without regret. Spring is the springboard for the new life.
Besides laughter, spring brings industry to cleanse the world and polish it, so it may again revolve unhampered, with a clean face, beaming proudly. Spring wipes away the remaining litter of careless, thoughtless winter, and uncovers the brown and gray smogdirt that coats the world.
Sprinkling the trees and streets, it rinses off the dead skin and lets them breathe again. No longer is color forbidden. Nature turns optimistic green and distributes flowers and butterflies. Spring straightens nature's mirrors.
Spring citizens have certain characteristics, too. They finish last year's business, bundle it, and store it away; they examine the new work, chisel away details, and tackle it with full force.
Eliminating old business and new details, the citizens file their income tax returns, pay property and wheel taxes, balance their budgets. They review the past and think how they might profit from their mistakes.
They brush their teeth in preparation for the new year. They wash their brown cars to sparkling pastels. They put screens on the houses and open windows. They rearrange the furniture, shake rugs, and wax floors. They take off their coats and gloves and overs'1oes and look like people again.
"Glad you could make it, Sp,ring. It's been a long time since November. 1

Most teens rarely venture far beyond the boundaries of their fair state. In fact, if it weren' t for those three glorious months of summer vacat.ion, they would never even leave the city limits! But senior Molly McKee makes a habit of travelling.
FEMALEGLOBETROTTER
Molly was born in Green Bay. Wisconsin, where !':hespent the first two years of her life. Since then her father's job as a major in the Air Force has called him to many different and widely separated spots on the globe.
From December 1956, to December 1959, Molly and her parents lived in Spain followed by a tran&ier to Lincoln, Nebraska. In the summer of 1962, the McKees moved to Montgomery, Alabama. They "lighted" here for 10 months and then jumped to the Washtngton, D.C., area for six months.
In 1963, they were sent to La Paz, Bolivia, where her father served on an Advisory Staff to the Bolivian Air Force. One year later, they moved back to Lincoln, where they expect to stay until 1966, when the Lincoln Air Force base closes.
Molly found Bolivia most enjoyable and interesting. The Bolivian school year lasts from March to December. Instead of eager! y waiting the summer vacation, as many Lincoln High School students do, Bolivian teenagers anticipate winter vacation!
School begins at b:30 or 9:00, and lasts until 1:30. Unlike American schools, the teacher moves from class to class, coming to the students.
BOLIVIANSCHOOLDAYS
Molly attended the American Cooperative Experimental ~chool, a private institution which receives its funds from the United States. All students spoke English, despite the number of differing nationalities.
The school was very small compared to Lincoln High. It totaled 300 students---from kindergarten through 12th grade. If Molly had stayed in Bolivia long enough to graduate, her senior class would have been composed of eight students.
The school which Molly attended had once been an old mansion. It included a kitchen, a library (which had once served as a living room) , and rest rooms complete with bath tubs!
Molly felt the small size of tbe school was an asset because "you get to know everyone and can participate in more activities." She was the editor of the school's first year book. This year, her former classmates will

honor Molly by dedicating the publication to her. Bolivians speak Spanish, but Molly had no difficulty understanding them She had taken four years of Spanish in school, and had lived in Spain for three years. She comments that "what you don't know, you pick up by speaking the language." The only problem she had was the "slight embarrassment" when Bolivians made fun of her. "accent."
"WONDERFUL"EXPERIENCE
La-Paz, Bolivia is 13,000 feet above sea level. At first, Molly found it a little difficult to breathe normally, but she finally adjusted and describes her stay as "wonderful."
Despite her constant wanderings, Molly confesses she .vouldn' t trade her life "for anything." She feels being able to travel is of great value because it "helps me to look at life in a broader scope. You would be amazed at the ~umber of different ways of life there are."
Leaving friends behind i~ always sad fol!'Molly, but she lifts her spirits by "anticipating what is to come next."
Aside from being a "professional" traveller, Molly takes great interest in dramatics. She first developed this interest in 7th grade. She enjoys it because of its "similarity to life." MolJ.y has been quite active in Lincoln High School productions She served as stage manager fo£ "Harvey," the Mummer's play, and for "The Music Man," the opera. Molly also participated in the 1962 All-State program. She played a part in 11The Children's Hour," a production sponsored by the All-State Dramatics division.
Despite her interest in theater, Molly has no favorite actress or actor. "I am critical of them all," she says. Although she has no favorite production either, Molly was ~~::;;: •.

Sally Rebensdorf and Peggy Fraley prove that girls are no longer "giddy" about such harmless creatures as frogs-as long as they' re not real!
CROAK!THE FROGS ARE COMING: INVASION GATHERS MOMENTUM
A totally new breed of frog has recently been discovered circulating at Lincoln High. The frogs are red and black in color, and have large round eyes with black pupils. An unusual "L" marking is found on the black stomach of each frog.
Recent findings in at least one other Lincoln high school indicate that a similar infiltration is also increasing rapidly. However, the coloring of these frogs is consistently gold and black with an "s"marking on the stomach. Several isolated Lincoln High reports have also mentioned a frog of this coloring MASSIVEINVESTIGATION
Naturally, the alert staff of The Advocate began immediate investigation on this mass inpourin 6 of frogs. Science fiction fans will have to relinquish any the-ories of a frog plot for world 1takeover. Ever more numerous frog owners report them to be completely harmless and affectionate. HOAX?
The more scientific and suspicious readers may now be asking, "What kind of hoax is The Advocate trying to put over?" No hoax--the frogs are real, but not alive.

Orders have come from many places all across the country. If the trend continues to grow, Lincoln High and its frogs may be known to "in" teens all over the United States.
LHSMathematicians Compete Nationally
The Sixteenth Annual Mathematics Examination gave Lincoln High' s math wizards the opportunity for nationwide competition.
Forty -five juniors and seniors took part in this contest held March 4.
The test, given on the same day in the same form all over the United States, was made up of 40 problems. Five answers, of which only one was correct, were given to each of these problems.
Scores and placements are expected in April, according to Miss Frances Buell, Lincoln High School mathematics teacher.
The top three students in the school will serve as the school' s team. Last year Lincoln High placed ninth in the state. This nationwide contest is jointly sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America and the Society of Actuaries.
The Mathematics Department of the University of Nebraska will be responsible for correcting the test in this state.
The theme, "Our Shrinking World," was selected by a board of directors including Governor Frank Morrison and other prominent Nebraskans. The program includes luncheons, teas, and seminars designed to carry out the theme.
The governments of most free countries, including the U.S., have indicated they will send ambassadors to participate in various seminars.
Topics will range from Europe's CommonMarket to the Viet Nam situation. Newsmen from the London Times and newspapers in Japan, France, Gennany, and Argentina will provide overall comment on world problems.
The club also hopes to sponsor four members at two week -long summer programs similar to the World Affairs Conference. The programs are held by the American Friends Service Committee in Colorado, June 13 -20.

ChakoOgawa, Lincoln High' s AFS student from Japan, has arranged for many International Club members to cor-· respond with her former schoolmates in Nagasaki. These new pen pals have studied Btglish for several years and will write their letters in English.
Debate tournaments, travel, fun, association with other schools, and service project keeps Lincoln High debaters on their toes.
Lincoln High was the only associated school, that attended the National Forensic League tournament held at Omaha Marion, March 5, 6. Vern Jewett, who wonsecond place in the Lincoln American Leagion Contest, Margie Angle, Carolyn Shea, and Paul Stanton, participated with 43 other teams in the NFL debate.
This tournament was based on rapid elimination where, if one team loses two debates, it is eliminated. Both Lincoln High girls were eliminated early, but the boys, undefeated, made it down to the last eight teams. Paul Stanton and Vern Jewett lost on a split decision to Omaha Mercy.
Mrs. Suzanne Merwick, the debate coach commented, 'This year was the first in a long time that Lincoln High has entered in NFL. We were the only Lincoln school to make it this far. Winners of NFL go to the National Contests."
HOSTINGBREAKSBARRIERS
"In an effort to break down the barriers or competition and build friendly relations with other schools, Lincoln High will host five schools at the State Debate, which will be held March 26, 27, at the University of Nebraska. Lincoln High was hosted under this same program by Benson during the NFL tournament," explains Mrs. Merwick.
The results from the Hastings debate, in which eight Lincoln High debaters participated, were that six of the eight debaters received superior awards; the other two received excellent awards.
Four Lincoln High debate teams will go to Omaha Benson, to a beginners tournament, for which 87 teams have registered. The teams to go are: Team2, Jim Cooper, Jane Lind; Team 2, Don Kermmoade, Pat Oliver; Team 3, Carol

New Activity:
All-City Chess
Intra-city chess matches among Lincoln's three high schools are the most recent additions to the field of competition.
TOURNAMENTCRF.4TESINTEREST
Motivated by the interest shown in the Nebraska State Scholastic Chess Tournament, the idea of continuing interschool meets was adopted by club members in each of the schools. A traveling trophy (to be awarded yearly to the school garnering the most wins) is being planned.
A 6-2 Link's victory over Lincoln Southeast in a March 8 meet was Lincoln High' s first step into intra-city competition which had begun with an earlier meet between Lincoln Southeast and Lincoln Northeast. Clubs assign eight boards at each meet; scores are for individual game wins. Matches are played at the particular schools involved in the meet and supervised by the Chess Club sponsors in each.
PAIRINGSBY DEGREEOF SKILL
Matches are now arranged according to individual ability to play the game. A system of eatings based on points given for ability in playing the game is bP.ing developed to be used later in scheduling matches. Plans presently call for matches between schools every two weeks.

TB Test Nears
continued from page 1 tenth graders were positive reactors; this year it is hoped the survey will show a figure of less than 1 per cent. However, it must be rememberedthat a very small per cent of these positive reactors ever develop active cases of tuberculosis, if their general health remains good, 11 explains Mrs. Youngscap.
GOAL:TB FREEGENERATION
She further stated, "While much has been learned about the discovery, treatment, and control of tuberculosis, this highly infectious disease still kills or incapacitates many people each year and we need to keep working in every way possible to eradicate it entirely. We are trying to raise a new generation of young people who are free of tuberculosis infection.

Makes Coin Collecting Rate
If you happen to drop a penny, do you pick it Ufr since "it's only a penny.' No? You had better pi ck it up for that penny may be worth much more than one cent!
11le coin collecting craze has hit the United States in gigantic proportions. Youmay find, as others have, that the coins which pass through your hands may be worth much more than face value.
The U.S. began minting coins in Philadelphia.Penn., in 1793 under an act of congress provided for by the Constitution. The first coins to be minted were cents and half cents.
11lrough the years the U.S. government has operated mints in seven cities including: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; New Orleans, Louisiana; Carson City, Nevada; San Francisco, California; Denver, Colorado; and mints at Charlotte, North Carloina· and Dahlonega, Georgi a, which minted only gold coins. Only the Philadelphia and Denver mints are in operation today.
OBSOLETEDENOMINATIONS
The first cents for example, were large copper disks the size of today's fifty -cent piece. The first U.S. coins to bear ~he motto "In God We Trust" were the copper two-cent pieces first issued during the Civil War.
Three-cent pieces, twentycent pieces, and denominations of $1, $2.50, $3, $4, $5, $10, and $20 of gold coins are among the obsolete coins in the U.S. series.
Collecting of U.S. coins began in earnest in the early 19th century with news of the mysterious 1804 silver dollar.
Mint records of 1804 showed that 20,000 silver dollars were minted in the year 1804. As time progressed,, however, none of these 1804 dollars appeared in circulation. The popular opinion today is that the dollars minted for 1804 were actually coined with the date 1803. So America' s still continuing coin craze began.
CONFEDERATEHALF-DOLLAR
Another item which drew many new collectors was the mystery and intrigue surrounding the appearance of the Confederate Half-dollar.
Four half-dollars madeby the Confederate government appeared .>n the American coin market in 1879. Torlay these co.ins sell for $10,000 and more. Coin values are governed by the law of supply and demand and prices fluctuate like stocks of the stock market. Coin supplies remain the same for a given yP,ar while the number of collectors is always increasing.
In addition to supply and demand, coin values are also based on mintage(the number of coins made), condition, and popularity of the series. Many collectors today collect cents because they are cheaper.
BIG COINSHORTAGE
Coin collectors and coin speculators are causing the current coin shortage in the United states.
This shortage is so great that the mint will date all 1965 coins 1964 to discourage the coin speculator. It was such a practice as this that caused the mystery surrounding the 1804 silver early in U.S. Mint history.
Speculation by thepublic is also causing the government trouble. Whenthe Kennedy Half -dollar first apperared in 1964, the general public began hoarding them because of possible value later. Because of this speculation, banks have been forced to limit the number one may purchase.
Some of today's most valuable coins are the 1804 silver dollar, 1822 fivedollar gold piece, the 1913 Liberty Nickle, and the 1861 Confederate Half-dollar. These extremely valuable coins are all in collector's hands. Some valuable coins which could be found in cirulation are the 1909 S VDB cent (S for San Francisco and VDBfor the designer' s initials), the 1931 Scent, the 1950 Dnickle (D for Denver), and the 1932 Sand D quarters. All one needs to start a coin collection are coin folders which sell for 35 cents each in any hobby shop and patience to look through every coin that goes through his hands.

Lincoln High and Lincoln Southeast ended one of the most exciting first rounds in District Basketball history, as the Knights' John Cunningham potted a Jumpshot in the last two seconds of overtime play to give Southeast a 54-52 victory. Cunningham's climactic shot wa~ a near-duplicate of the one by Lincoln Northeasts ' Gary Thompson in the waning seconds of the Rockets overtime victory from Pius X the night before.
LINKSTRAILAT HALF
After jumping to an early 8-3 lead, Lincoln High lost its momentum, trailing by two points at the quarter. Adding five more points to its margin, Southeast took a 29-22 lead into the second half. Coming out in its half court press, the Links rallied to knot the score at 36 all.
LHSJOY NIGHT
Brill, adept in a variety of moves, scored 20 or more points on nine different occasions. Two of his best games came against city rivals, Lincoln Northeast and Lincoln Southeast, in which he scored 27 and 29 points respectively. Although small for a board man, he used good position to gather in his share of rebounds.
In the fourth quarter, the press and the accurate shooting from the foul line boosted Lincoln High to a 49-46 lead with 1:25 showing on the clock.
CRISTTIES IT UP
This lead was short-lived as back to back baskets by Cunningham and Bruce Bowers put Southeast on top again. LHS' s Don Crist forced th e overtime by sinking a free throw.
Both teams were able to garner but one basket each in the 3-minute overtime before Cunningham let go with his heroic jumper.
SWIMMERSEARNMENTION
In swimming, All-City mention was earned by Lincoln High' s state championship 200-yd. freestyle relay team composed of King Little, John Farrar, Mike Hlevyack, and Rick Mccurdy. This event also looks good for next year's competition with all but Mccurdy returning to defend this title.

Mickey Johnsen, agile senior, earned a spot on the All-City gymnastics team in two events, the still rings and the all-around competition.

Two Musicians Enter Dallas Contest
Two Lincoln High juniors left Friday for Dallas, Texas, and a music competition which could name them the best in the nation in their fields. The contest climaxes many years of hard work for Inta Joseps, pianist, and Jane Shroeder, cellist.
SOLOAPPEARANCESSOUGHT
The contest, held every two years, is sponsored by the National Association of Music Teachers. Each district in the continental United States may send a total of four competitors, two in each di vision (piano and string) to compete in the national contest. The district winners compete for two prizes of $250 each and solo performances with a symphony orchestra, before the association convention tonight.

Sunday Jane's performance on the cello won first pl ace honors and gave her a chance to win national recognition. Both Jane and Inta, last year's district winner, competed in the national auditions Monday.

L Men 'Jump Gu~'
We wish to express congratulations from the student body to those I ettermenwhosigned the petition resulting in the cancellation of the All-Sports Banquet.
It really gives a warm feeling to thosewhohave alreadyspentmuch time and made many plans to make this year's banquet something really special, with a fine speaker and a real 1y tremendous jazz band rather than a combol i ke those you can hear at every Keen-Time. Mr. Bob Devaney and the members of Sinfonia probably al so have warmest regards.
It would be interesti"g to know how manyof those who signed the petition even knew what Sinfonia is, and even more interesting to know how manyhad ever attended a performance.
Many who signed the petition claim to have had no idea what it was that they were signing. There are onl Y two conclusions that can be drawn about these people: one, that they have very poor memories, or two, that they were so concerned with important matters such as the space program or other issues of note that they were too busy to know or care what they were doing.
The right of petition is regarded as an almost sacred privilege by those whoare mature enough to have a sense of responsibility for their own actions. An.rone_who_will_sign .2.J)etiti on with no idea of its contents is_asking_to_lose_this_~rivilege.
It is dou btfu 1 if some lettermen will be able to get much attention if they want to make any protest in the near future, no matter how val id the comp1ai nt.
Then, there are the people who QiQ know what they were signing. For these people, perhaps there should be short sessions in elementary good manners (or elementary good sense) at every avai I able opportunity.
Possibly we the fans who support our teams through thick and thin should refuse to attend any games or meets after a team Joss, because things are not exactly the way we would like them.
Many lettermen seem to feel that they should have been consult~d before plans were made. The Student Counci1 annually organizes the banquet to honor the L men. It is !lQ1 customary for the receiver of a gift to tell the giver what he ~~~~£ii, especially ~f1~r the gift has been chosen.
It is very unfortunate that all the work that has been done seems to have been for nothing. It is equal 1y as unfortunate, however, that so many of our student leaders saw fit to align themselves with this kindergarten stunt. To those members of L Club who did not sign the petition, it is to be hoped that you will not automatically be grouped with those w~o instigated and supported the movement.
However one may feel about the action taken, the threatened boycott made some sort of decisive action necessary. Judging from their childish action, maybe many of the L men aren't the type of people that we would want to honor, anyway.

Keen Timers: Desperate Need for New Building
The Keen-Time Klubproposes a new multi-purpose building which will affect almost every family in Lincoln whether they have teenagers or not
A special Keen-Time committee composed of Nan Webster and Mary Lynn Dorrie of Lincoln Southeast and Bil 1 Bauer of Lincoln High has taken a plea in behalf of the 6,000 Keen-Time Klub members to the City Park and Recreation Advisory Board for the construction of a new multi-purpose building.
After studying the plans and needs, the Recreation Board has asked that the City Council include $525, 000 for this cent er in the 1965-66 capital city budget
The Recreation Board raised a question on whether to build one large center or several smaller centers. Keen-Time feels there should be only one large, centrally-located center at Woods Park It is the belief of the group that "the teens of Lincoln strive for unity and dividing Lincoln into districts would not promote cooperation among the teens.
"If several small centers were built it is possible that one would become a favorite and all teens would congregate there It would then be too small, and the whole purpose would be defeated."
ALL-PURPOSEBUILDING
In addition to Keen-Time and 9-Hi Dances, the proposed building would also be used by other civic organizations s uch as craft clas s es , Good Time Clubs , senior citizens groups, specialized clubs , and service clubs
The building would include a stage, a dancing floor for 2 , 500, parking for 500-600 cars, meeting rooms, kitchen, and an outdoor patio area
It was brought out at a rec Gnt meeting of committee members that, at the present, Keen-Time Dances have been held "any -,place that is large enough and available. Keentimers are fortunate to get the pavilion one night a month ; other nights it is used for square dancing.
PARKINGSPACENEEDED
"The Antelope Park Pavilion, which was built in 1916 to accomodate 300 people, has held as manyas 1500 teenagers at some summer dances
"Parking has also been a problem. There have been as many as 650 cars, which, beside filling the parking lot, lines Memorial Park Drive from "A" to South Street.
"Anyonewhohas ever attended a Keen-Time Dance knows the desperate need for such a building for Lincoln. This multi-purpose building will be used by al 1 age groups and many civic organizations.
"All are urged to write to the City Council in support of the $525, 000 to be included in the 1965-66 capital improvement budget," requests Bill Bauer, president of KeenTime Council.
Keen-Time Council members from Lincoln High are: Bill Bauer, president ; Phyllis Bomberger, chairman for Lincoln High; Mary Lundholm, publicity chairman; Pat Shuman, decorati ons chairman ; John Walters, IMaggieHiggins , Joe Teale, Vicki Jacobson , Bev Proctor , Kathy Mason, Pam Tracy, Linda Johnson, Gwen Markussen, Vicki Sommer, Don Crist, Cathy Cave, and Bruce Rauscher.
* * * * * * Steinbeck Discovers America
In 'TravelsWith Charley'
Like a twentieth-century Marco Polo, author John Steinbeck started on a trip acr oss the United States 11in search of America."
Steinbeck recounts his trip (an escape from the approaching winter in Maine) across the Great Lakes region, into the Mid-west, and over the Rockies to the Pacific. He then takes the reader down the Pacific coast to California and across the South to his New York home.
"Rocinate," a specially built truck and camping trailer combined, and Charley, a French poodle, are his only travelling companions as he searches for an answer to the question "What are Americans really like today?"
AMERICANTYPE
111' d heard people returning from Europe tell the exact 'type' the Frenchman or Englishman is after only a few weeks abroad. I decided to travel America to see if I could discover such an American type, " Steinbeck writes.
As most travellers probably do, Steinbeck begins with a pre-determined route which he intends to follow,
and a car fulJ of <books and other items he later wo~ t neect, to pass the time,
Steinbeck, the traveller, becomes so interested in his subject---people---that his route changes as his interest in the people he observes varies. Never once does he use the books and other amusements he has brought along.
'MIND-READINGDOG'
All along the way Steinbeck and Charley meet people like those they have known in the past. Charley, who is truly a "mind-reading dog, 11 shares Steinbeck's every experience. It is Charley's whims that often lead Steinbeck on some of his most exciting adventures.
What is this American image Steinbeck seeks? What does it look like? What does it do? All are answered in this tale of an author's wanderings among the people he has long written about. It is a story told in the captivatingly simple style of "the people" that only Steinbeck can create.
"spring at least ought to be in the dictionary!" exclaim Thumbnailers Phyllis Bomberger, Bill Bauer, Mike Bouman, and Vicki Jacobson.
'Th.Ltmbnailb. -
"To graduate with the feeling I've done my best" is the senior goal of our first Thumbnailer Vicki Jacobson, who is in the Arts and Sciences Curriculum.
Vicki's list of activities includes Varsity Cheerleader, Keen-Time Council, andJoy Night participant. At LHS she best likes the good-natured teachers and the carefree attitudes of the kids best. Her favorite subjects are English and psychology.
Along with being chosen Homecomingattendant , selection as Cheerleader rates as Vicki's most memorable experience. Once during a rally she got her pep talk jumbled, and it sounded as though she were cutting down the team, obviously her most embarrassing' experience.
Playing the game of spy and coun er-spy is listed among Vicki's favorite pastimes, and "snowjobs" are her pet peeves.

Vicki , who plans to attend the University of Nebraska next year, encourages underclassmen to "join the out crowd; they' re the ones that are really 'in' ! "

"Put 100 per cent effort on things you can do but put 101 per cent effort on things you can' t do" is the philosophy of Thumbnailer Mike Bouman, who is in the Business Administration Curriculum.
Mike who likes me ssin' around in shop classe~. lists his favorite subjects as electronics and study hall, where his pet peeve is study hall t e achers who don't let you sleep!

Phyllis likes "being a senior and looking back on all the good times (and bad) we've had at LHS," including her most memorable experience, being chosen a Homecomingattendant.
Red Cross, Choir, and Keen-Time Council (Chairman for LHS) make up her list of extracurricular activities, but in her spare time she enjoys spying on people and touring Kings and Dale Brook.
(1) Getting up in the morning, and (2) people who never seem to be happy about anything are listed respectively as her pet peeves
Phyllis, who is in the Business Administration curriculum plans to take secretarial training at the Lincoln School of Commerce next year. She leaves underclassmen with this: "The three years of high school go much faster than you expect so make the most of every minute!"

Rocking out with L.S.O. at Keentime and being with good company are the favorite pastimes of Keentime president Bill Bauer our last Thumbnailer.
Bill's most memorable experiences are those gained from sports and the satisfaction of achievement he has gained from them. He participates in Varsity football and baseball and is a member of the "U' Club. Besides analytical geometry and architectural drawing , his favorite subjects, Bill likes the cool clique of junior girls best about Lincoln High. His senior goals are to make National Honor Society and to revive himself on Hobo Day.
Bill , who is in the Engineering Curriculum, plans to become an architect, He leaves us with these words: "Strive to do the best you can and stick up for what you beli'eve in at al I times."
Wax, Chalk, Acid, Butter; Basis for Modern Beauty?
With the coming of spring(?) all forms of nature emerge from their shells in a new form of beauty. At Lincolm High, lipsticks, compacts, and eye-pencils emerge from purses and Lincoln High girls bloom again after winter's harsh effects.
ODDTRANSFORMATIONS!
When one looks at what goes into today's beauty preparations, he wonders how they accomplish the transformations!
Girls, would you smear chalk, stearic acid, or zinc oxide on your face? Or would you use barley flour or butter to liven up your complexion?
Well, if your answer to these questions is an indignant 'No' then you are in for a big surprise. Womenall over the country spend millions of dollars annually on cosmetics without really knowing what they contain.
For example, a jar of cold cream contains beeswax and mineral oil. A scented oil along with a high proof alcohol goes into the manufacture of perfume. One familiar product, face powder, contains chalk, zinc oxide, and rice starch!
EARLYEGYPTIANS
Cosmetology dates back to the early Egyptians. Cleopatra set the style with dark black eyebrows, eyelids, and false lashes. Cleo even used a deep olive-green eye shadow aI:O.lllld the eyes.
In Rome, both Nero and his wife, Poppaea, used white lead and chalk to whiten their faces. Later they gave this up when it was discovered that many women had died from lead poisoning due to this practice.
Cosmetics in the United States are derived from the greases and war paint used by the Indians.
During the Colonial Period an act was passed in 1770 which stated that "all menwho could prove that their wives had led them to the altar by the use of exotic perfumes and cosmetics had the right to a legally annulled marriage."
SOMEPRODUCTSINFERIOR
une might think some of this 1s exaggerated, but as late as 1962, several products were taken from the market because of their dangerous contents!
The content of today's cosmetics is not new; only the way it is applied and used has changed.

'Unclassical' Classics Find Early Success
What has 12 arms, 12 legs and "swings?"
Give up?
The Classics!!
The Classics are a local combo boasting five Lincoln High members plus one. The group had its origin last December whenDave Hodtwalker, Lincoln High senior, thought a combo would be a "good idea." He called a fellow musician, junior Mike Knaub, who agreed.
With this beginning, the boys added Dennis Goeshel, Lincoln Northeast junior, Bruce Rausher, Lincoln High senior, and Tom Zurshmeide, a former Lincoln High School student who moved to Illinois last year. WhenTomleft, the group adopted Ralph Reger, Lincoln High senior. The most recent addition, about two months ago, was senior Mike Douthit.
ORIGINALARRANGEMENTS
The Classics don't do much original composing, but they do all their own arrangements. They made one recording for Southeast High School's "Night of Knights" entitled "Jolly Green Dinosaur." As a team they composed their introduction.
The group is faced with strong competition in the Lincoln area. "There are over 75 different combos in Lincoln alone," they say. The boys own all their equipment---including a homemadepublic address system.
The group practices about "three or four hours a week and usually two nights before an appearance." They average two or three performances per month. Their most memorable performance was the Northeast High School Homecoming Dance. "Wealways do our best when we really rock out," they comment.
FEWPROBLEMS
The boys have very few problems getting along and working together. "Everyone is easy-going---no feuds," they say. They attribute this compatibility to the fact that "we all enjoy entertaining people and like to 'play together."
Dave Hodtwalker poses as the spokesman for The Classics. He plays the lead and bass guitar, chord organ, and trumpet.
Dave has been playing the trumpet since he was in the 3rd grade. Later, he developed his interest in guitar through his father. "we found an old guitar in the attic and I learned a few chords from my dad," comments Dave. "Now we compete!"
Dave plans to stay with the group through college.
He benefits from belonging to the group simply because "I like to play! It's interesting to see how well we can

coordinate and make all the breaks at the same time."
Ralph Reger plays the rhythm and bass guitar. Ralph's interest in music came about through his grandfather. "He sang on the radio for about 15 years," informs Ralph.
Ralph also knew some fellows who played in a combo and they interested him in guitar. He took guitar lessons for a time and now he gives them!
If the group has continuing success, he might make a career of music. "The best advantage of being in a combo is that you get to meet people and have a hand in making the group successful. I enjoy it!" Ralph says.
Mike Douthit, the group's latest addition, comes from a very musical family. "This is where I developed an interest in music," he comments. Mike sings, plays the organ, and guitar. He played the lead in the Lincoln High opera, "The Music Man," and belongs to the Boys Octet. Mike also belongs to the Lincoln Boys Ch1oir, attended the State Music Clinic, and this summer plans to go to All-State. Whenhe finds time, he does a little composing. Mike's future plans include a career in teaching vocal music.
The combobenefits Mike because "I enjoy entertaining people and being with my friends."
Bruce Rausher sings the lead, and plays the rhythm and lead guitar. He developed his interest in music by "watching the Lawrence Welk Show. In fact, I even took accordian lessons in the 7th grade," he comments.
Bruce learned the art of playing guitar from his neighbor. They worked together and in the summer of 1963 recorded "Blue Surf" and later "surfer' s Weekend" for promotional purposes. This neighbor, Jim Miller, now makes records for a ciaior recording company.
"I hope to pay my way through college by playing the guitar," says Bruce. The combo is an advantage to him because "I enjoy entertaining and it is a good· outlet for energy. 11
Mike Knaub is the drummer for The Classics. His interest in music stemmed originally from listening to Gene Krupa, al though nowhe admires the Kingsmen.
Mike hopes to stay with the combo at least through college. The group is of benefit to him because "I enjoy playing drums and I like to entertain people."
The last memberof The Classics is Northeast High School junior, Dennis Goeshel .. Dennis plays the saxophone.

Sophs:TB Test 'Not Too Bad'
"Gee whiz! It dido' t amount to as much as I thought!"
This was the reaction of most of Lincoln High' s Sophomores as they walked away after receiving their tuberculosis "shots."
Testing for the tuberculosis germs took place ~1arch 24, and the reading for reactions were taken March 26. Readings for delayed reactors were taken March 29.
The school nurse, Mrs. Alice Youngscap, commendedboth the students and the faculty and everyone else who took part in making this year's test one of the "smoothest operations" in her many years of testing.
She received replies from all the parents of sophomores who were sent consent slips although it "did take some effort for some of our absentminded sophomores who had to be sent as many as three call slips before returning their consent slips," she said.
"Everything considered, '1 stated Mrs. Youngscap, "I was very happy with the cooperation received. The whole II procedure went very smoothly.
Ph1·IosophyBooks
A new collection is growing in the Lincoln High School library to supplement reading material for senior home room students beginning a unit on philosophy.
Mrs. Ruth Siefkes, librarian, reports that the collection is intended to "represent individual philosophies as well as group philosophies, and ideas from ancient times to the present. It includes selections from the writings of the ancient philosopher, Socrates, to the modern essayist Jean-Paul Sartre , who recently refused the Nobel Prize for literature
An eight-volume set of The Story of Civilization by Will Durant, forms the backbone of the collection. This set was donated by the class of 1919 in honor of their sponsor, Miss Nelie Putney.
The guidance unit is intended to help a student develop his own, personal philosophy, through the study of great writers.

Intra-City Student Council Fights Drop-Out Problem
Did you know that more than 50 per cent of all American adults never graduated from a high school? It is true manyof them could not afford a high school education; many, however, dropped -out in the belief that it would be easier to work and to earn money.
LABORMARKETCHANGE
Today the situation on the labor market is changing. Automation leads the way for tomorrow's industry. With this change many new jobs will be created, requiring a broad educational background.
On the other hand, however, automation will do the work, which has been done and still is by people without high school diplomas. It is predicted that in a few years unemployment will be waiting for the great majority of today' s drop-outs.
Therefore the Intra-City Student Council, which is

The "Syndicate' bought six shares of Sunshine Mining at $32 3/8 a share. At the end of the semester, the stock will be sold, hopefully at a profit. This is the second year that the economics classes have actually taken an active part in the stock market. Last semester the classes invested in Anaconda. They sold the stock at $57.25; the selling price now is $64. 50.

PREVENTPOTENTIALDROP-OUTS
In this program counselors will be asked to report the students, who plan to drop out of high school. For each of these students arrangements will be made for a meeting with someone dropped out a few years before and now has difficulties in finding a job.
The Intra-City Student Council thinks that this plan could prevent many potential drop-outs from leaving high school without a diploma, according to Roger Stark, Council representative from Lincoln High.

Spring Sports Activities Slowed by Winter Weather
Tennis coach Roy Colson plans to build this year' steam around anucleus of returning lettermen. The lettermen (all seniors) are Larry Dietrich , Bruce McLarty, Allan Weimer, and Joe Weyand.
Jack Burnham, Bill Heggen, and Terry Geistlinger, up from last yea~s Reserve team , will add depth to the squad.
The predictions of Coach Colson indicate that the team should do well in dual meets and city competition this season. In the state meet the Links will likely battle for top honors with three Omaha schools, Prep COLSON North, and Westside. North and Prep were the only teams to top the squad's third place finish last year.
"Goodindividual performances by the Omahaschools may be offset by the LHSsquad's depth," states Colson. "Cooperation from the weather is necessary before practice starts. The temperature must be around 50 degrees before much headway can be made.11
Golf coach, Dick Beechner, looks at the coming season saying 11 we' re stil 1 state champions until we are defeated." This quote was made after rumors had been spread that he was forced to take an aspirin after the first night of practice!
Returning letterman, Sam Beechner, is expected to be followed up by Lance Gloe, Steve Gregory, Arved Kaul ins, Dick Pelletier and Dan Piller.
Coach Beechner says all of these boys are capable of turning in fine performances and BEECHNER could give any opponent a good match. He looks for Lincoln Northeast, Lincoln Southeast, and Hastings to be strong competitors.
A change for the better in the weather is needed as the golf team opens its season April 2, against Pius X.
Track coach Harold Scott looks towards the new season with hope, relying on his 13 returning lettermen Aldis Augstums, Steve Colborn, Terry Davis, Gerald Ebers, Charlie Garrett, Steve Hanneman. Barney McLaughlin, Rod Molden, Kent Radke, Bruce Raymer, Jim Riggins, John Spae dt, and John Walters.
Coach Scott expects outstanding performances from Radke and Spaedt. Both are seniors and have shown great ability in their sophomore and junior years. Spaedt will be out to better his own school mark set last year in the shot.
SCOTT
City sprint king, Jim Riggins, returns with hopes of breaking the 10 -second barrier in the 100 -yard dash. Riggins was clocked in 10 flat consistently last year
With the season opening April 2, Coach Scott had these closing comments as he looked at the new 5-inch layer of snow covering the ground, "Merry Christmas, hope to get outside by June!"
Coach Buford Grosscup, after losing all but three starters of last year's baseball team, hopes to find support from last year's Reserve Squad. This Reserve team, which had a good season 1as t year. wi11 be counted on to plug up some of the weak spots left by graduation.
Letterman returning for action this spring are John Grahamand Delbert Smith, infield ; Mike Bouman, outfield; and Jan Hansen, pitcher.
Coach Grosscup feels it "is difficult to GROSSCUP tell how this team wil 1 do in the coming season. 11 He has been pounding his squad into physical shape by putting them through calisthenics the last few weeks. He hopes for a break in the weather to get in some outside practice. The squad is working in anticipation of the season's opener, an April 10 engagement at Omaha Creighton Prep.
In the Teacher~ Curriculum, Harvey Joe Weyand has participated in Varsity and Reserve basketbal 1 and tennis He is also a member of studentCouncil.
The search for Lincoln High's new football coach was ended March 23 with the announcement of the selection of Andy Loehr as head coach.

This capped a Search that started in December when former coach Jim Sommers stepped down from his coaching duties.
Mr. Loehr was a three-year letterman and a teammate of Sommers at the Universitv of Nebraska He was a secondstring All-Big-Seven selection while playing for NU.

What isa Lincoln High Pepper? Someone who gets out of class five minutes early for a pep rally? Someone who doesn't have to decide what to wear to school every Friday?
Yes, this describes a pep club girl but in the shallowest terms.
AnY girl who joins pep club signs a pledge to obey the Pepper rules and support school spirit.
The pep club constitution states that "the 2ur~se of this_organization shall be to develop and strengthen t~e school spirit at all athletic events of Lincoln High School." This is the main objective of this organization, but it also has others, it promotes better interschool relationships and teaches girls a high standard of sportsmanship.
~Y!IY girl should stop and thJnk before joining this club. She should ask herself these questions: Can I adjust to 1irl.£! regimental routine (even if it is only one or two days a week)? Do I want to £Q.!lfQrffiwith the crowd ( or is this the r.g~§.Q!lfor joining?); Will I attend ~llgamesand meetings feven if it means giving up a special date?)

Greenery Flourishes
In Year-round Paradise
Have you ever been to that strange land with a sky of glass, where beautiful flowers, lush green foliage, spiny cacti delight the eye, and exotic aromas fill the air? If not, why don't you visit Lincoln High' s greenhouse?
This laboratory of green, under the supErvision of Mr. Alexander Currie of the Biology Department and three student assistants, has a life span equal to that of the Lincoln High tuilding.
A threefold purpose is accomplished by this greenhouse laboratory. It serves as a place to raise living plants for the study of root and leaf growth in the biology classes. It furnishes the administrative offices with flowers and plants and provides backgrounds for

Comment Corner ...
When I read the editorial in the last issue of the Advocate, I was disappointed.
I amnot a member of the 11L11 Club, and I have never lettered. I don't believe that the "L" men should have signed the petition; I don't feel that they had the right. I have, however, gone out for several sports and have seen these "childish kindergartners" in action.
Where were you II fans who support our teams through thick and thin" when the gymnastics meets were being held, or when our wrestling team was winning meets, or when the state swimming meet was held?
Since I have attended Lincoln High, I have yet to see more than 100 "fans" find time in their busy schedules to turn out for cross-country, gymnastics, wrestling, swim~ing, golf, track, or tennis meets.
The L Men, men like Bill Pfeiff, Harold Scott, Howard Debus, -Juris Jessifers , and Bobby Williams, have made Lincoln High great and maintained that greatness. They've striven for perfection in everything that they've done.
These are the men that get bruised trying for a touchdown, that get knocked unconscious trying for an extra point, and get their teeth knocked out going up for a rebound.
These are the men that have led Lincoln High to the distinction of compiling more state championships that any other single school in the state.
Shall we let thei r efforts go unrewarded?
Disappointed Reader
''Make the most of your three years at LHS by having lots and lots of fun (study once in awhile, tool) because beforeyouknow it, it will beovet." This advice to underclassmen comes from Thumbnailer Rosie Fowles, whose pet peeve is people who call her by her real name.
Rosie likes EVERYTHING!about Lincoln High, and her list of activities includes a Ii ttle of everything--Cheerleader, StudentCouncil, Joy Night honor roll, and National Honor Society, which was formerly her senior goal. Chemistry and clothing are her favorite subjects.
Being chosen a Reserve Cheerleader rates. as Rosie's most memorable experience, and her most embarrassing one was "ending a cheer at the OmahaCentral game on my 'end."'
Sewing, watchingbaseball, going on picnics, and going fishing are Rosie's favorite pastimes. She is in the Arts and Sciences Curriculum and plans to enter the College of Home Economics at the University of Nebraska next year.

To graduate is the senior goal of our next Thumbnailer, Lonnie TeSelle, who advises all to look forward to graduation.
Being a memberof the Varsity football team when a junior is rated as Lonnie's most memorable experience. He has also lettered in track and is a member of L Club.
In school, Business Lawis Lonnie's favorite subject, but he likes the 2:30 bell best about LHS. Out of school, his favorite pastimes include messing around and being with J.P. people that dictate are his pet peeve.
Peppers will long remember (as Lonnie is trying to forget) his most embarrassing experience--modelling for the Pepper party.

"To be able to keep all the friends I've made" is the senior goal of Thumbnail er Sally Freeman, who likes "all the swell kids" best about Lincoln High.
A Senior Class officer, Sally's most memorable experience was being chosen a Varsity Cheerleader. Her most embarrassing one occurred during her Joy Night act when the music got erased.
Modern Problems and Biology are Sally's favorite subjects, while her favorite pastime is being with her "favorite person." "people who open windows when I'm already freezing" are her pet peeves.
Sally, who is in the Stenographic Curriculum, plans to go into nursing at the University of Nebraska next year. Her message to fellow classmen includes this philosophy: "Don't try to be something you' re not. Find out what you are and be the best of it. 11

"Being a Thumbnailet' is rated as the most embarrassing experience of our last one John Graham , who is in the Arts and Sciences Curriculum.
John's senior goal is to help Lincoln High take state in baseball this year. He played in the State Baseball Tournament as a Junior, his most memorable experience, but this year second best won't do John has also participated in Reserve football and basketball and is a member of L Club.
Besides Spanish and Business Law, his favorite subjects, John likes standing in the hall before school best about Lincoln High. However, he dislikes people who knock "Il' men without having experienced lettering themselves.
John, who plans to attend the University of Nebraska next year, leaves us with this advice: "Be independent and stand up for your rights!"

I STANDARD 'RAH-RAH'
NOWSPECIALIZED ART
We've got the spirit that a great team needs-it's grrrrrr ... eat!!! Links! They' re grrrrrr ... eat!!!
This cheer is very familiar to many of the Lincoln High student body and the sight of cheerleaders is no novelty. But wait! Did you ever wonder just when cheerleading began? Well, it had its beginning in prehistoric times!
Mass cheering is as old as history. Way back in ancient times adoring crowds would gather in wild, excited assembly to greet victorious warriors with cheers to praise their conquests.
It is difficult to pinpoint the exact date of the origin of cheerleading as we know it today. However, it's thought to have been introduced at a competitive event in the 1870' s.
Until this time, in England there had been infrequent shouts of encouragement from the sidelines. A few unrestrained fans, incapable of controlling their enthusiasm and emotion, · would let go and shout, "Hi say there, old fellow, come along nowr'
The first modern cheer led by a designated individual was heard at the University of Minnesota in 1898. Johnny Camobell. an un" 1" dergraduate, was selected Yell Marsha lil that year. He stood before football fans and directed them in yelling "Rah-rah-rah Ski-U Mah... Minne-so-ta!"
CHEERLEADINGREQUIRESENDLESSSKILLS
The "Princeton Locomotive" is supposedly the "granddaddy" of all high school and col1ege yells : "Rah-rah-rah ... Tiger-tigertiger ... Sis-sis-sis Boom-boom-boom... Asssshh! Princeton-Princeton-Princeton!"
It is believed that the cheer was picked up by a group of undergraduates who gathered at the railroad station, and heard the yell of the Seventh Regiment of New York City as they passed Princeton en route to Washington at the outbreak of the Civil War.
One of the first students credited with composing an original cheer was a student named D. A. Rollins who, in 1878, introduced a cheer entitled "Wah-hoo-wah.11 This became the original Dartmouth yell. Since cheer leading was introduced into modern society, it has become a specialized art. The psychological timing of yells is most important; a yell given at the wrong time is said to make a bad impression on everyone and to have a negative effect on the team.
A cheerleader must remember to never lead a yell when the two teams are in action; likewise, she should lead a yell when the team is behind and in need of "pepping up."
RECENTDEVELOPMENTS
Recently there have been great strides in the development of the art of cheerleading. It has evolved from an impromptu activity in which cheerleaders were haphazardly chosen to a highly respected activity.
Cheer leading clinics have become very popular and numerous in the United 'states. These clinics, usually held for one day for a section of a state or the entire state, feature many kinds of programs on all aspects of cheer leading.
Another resource, the cheerleading camp, has become popular. These camps last five days and cheerleading is the principal topic of discussion.
Cheerleaders nowhave their ownnation-wide organization, the National Cheerleaders Association, which quarterly issues a newspaper. Cheering is no longer the vocal exuberance of an individual, but is a highly specialized art of "planned spontaneity. "
(The above information was taken, in part, from the book, Cheerleading and Marching Bands, second edition, by Newt Loken. It is availa!,le in the Lincoln High School I ibrary.
Girl Golfer's Battle Cry .. Resounds To Victory
Fore!!!! This is the battle cry of golfer Christie Schwartzkopf, Lincoln High junior. Christie began her formal golfing career when she was eight years old. At this time she participated in her first state tournament. However, her family, being avid golf enthusiasts, began influencing her interest in this sport long before. Christie's brother, Louis, a former Lincoln High student, lettered in golf and her parents are both well known for their golfing abilities.
During the summer, Christie practices "every day." When bad weather makes outdoor golfing impossible, she putts in the living room! NOTAN 'EASY' SPORT
She comments that golf is not an "easy" sport to learn to play. "It takes practice and patience. 11 Christie must possess both these qualities for she has won 11 golfing trophies!
Christie's most memorable accomplishment in golf occurred when, at age 10. she was named medalist in the Nebraska Junior State Golf tournament. "At this time, nobody was more surprised than I, for my score of 48 was the first time in my 1ife I ever shot in the 40's! 11 comments Christie. Her normal average is in the mid 80's with a handicap of 7.
Another memorable achievement in golf came about when Christie qualified fifth in the Championship Flight of the 1963 Junior Western held in Rockford, Illinois, (a national tournament). Here the importance of the tournament was in the "stiff competition."
The golfing achievement hardest for Christie to win was the 1962 Nebraska Junior States Golf Tournament. She says, "I won in the finals in sudden death on the second extra hole!"
Quotable Quiz
Now that spring has sprung, and flowers are in bloom,it is the time of the lepus cuniculus
The Advocate staff, in its never-ending search for facts has been asking students what they would do if they found a lepus cuniculus on Easter morning.
Deanna Lewis : I'd go back to bed.
MarthaMcCuistion: Probably eat it.
Bill Norman: Milk it. Nancy Copple: Run over it and give it to Mr. Beechner.
Mr. Grosscup: Yell for help!
Mike Smith: Kill it, fast Darlene Wilhelm: I'd put it in my Easter basket and save it for next year.
Mr. Beechner: Hide it so someone else could find it.
Phyllis Bomberger: Put it in my scrapbook.
Sam Beechner: I'd hire it as my golf caddie.
Carole Bauer: Sit on it!!
Mike Douthit: Ask it if it could hit a ball, and if it could, I'd ask it to play on my intramural softball team.
Vicki Anderson: I'd play Easter bunny and put it in my dog's Easter basket!
* * * If you haven' t guessed what a lepus cuniculus is by now, it's a rabbit.
STATIC
Every baseball coach wishes hei could have a player who could play all positions, bat 300, and get along with the umpire. But unfortunate] y he can't get him to lay down his hot dog and come out of the grandstand.
NUMEROUSGOLFINGTITLES
Other golfing titles held by Christie are the 1962 and the 1964 Nebraska State Junior Championships (the latter the biggest competition she ever entered), three times Lincoln City Junior Champion, and five times Hillcrest Junior Club Champion. She also participated in the 1964 U.S.G.A. (United States Golf Association) Junior Tournament, a national event, in Leavenworth, Kansas. Golfing is not the only sport j n which Christie excels. She has earned 18 trophies, 48 medals, and 42 ribbons for her swimming ability.
Christie feels the greatest reward in sports is the "sportsmanship" you develop, and the understanding gained in coping with all types of people. She sees "no disadvantages at all" in any sport in which she has participated.

These recommendations are made by the organization.
Two juniors have been chosen, one each from the fields of journalism and science, to represent Lincoln High School in the fourth annual conference on HumanSciences.
Representatives are Vicki Clark and Robert Stepp, ~tr. Harry Kuklin , LHS guidance counselor, will also attend the two-day meeting.
Message From Student Council
To the Student Body:
Since our purpose is to represent you, the Student Council has annually sponsored the All-Sports Banquet for your enjoyment and to express your support and appreciation to our lettermen.
This year we invited Coach Bob Devaney and the University of Nebraska Sinfoniu Jazz Band. Evidently we represented the great majority of you, because only two of one hundred Home Room Representatives reported any objections to the band. From this we concluded your approval of our plans We' re sorry the banquet has been cancelled, because it could have been one of the best held at Lincoln High in years.
We encourage you to make your ideas heard through Home Room Representatives, petition , or any other democratic means. But the petition signed by many of our "L" men a few weeks ago was very poorly worded and timed; its threatening tone destroyed enthusiasm and created factions within the Student Body.
In the present atmosphere of anger and hurt pride,we feel that in the best interests of the Student Body, we shall not request the administration to reschedule any banquet for May 1
Sincerely yours,
THE STUDENTCOUNCIL

Change Commencement Plans ~Choral Group
Initiating a new custom, the Class of 1965, the fiftieth to graduate from the present Lincoln High building, has voted to dispense with the traditional practice of walking across the stage to accept diplomas.
In a recent tally, 67.1 per cent of the class voted for the change, while 32. 9 per cent advocatedno change. The votes were compiled at the April 9 HomeRoomRepresentatives meeting. HomeRoomReps will now work with Senior Class of- Schroeder
ficers to plan the new agenda.
NUMBERsNEcEss1TATEcHANGE
"The reason for the change is centered largely around the numbers of people involved," explains Dr. Windle Reel, coordinator of senior activities. "Each year the graduating class has become larger, and this year will see a jump of about 100.
"It was decided, after reviewing the immediate past commencement programs, that a new plan was badly needed. Last year, for instance, it took 57 minutes for the graduates to file across the stage and by the time the presentation was over, the audience had largely lost contact with the proceedings."
PACESETTINGCLASS
Dr. Reel adds, "Members of the senior class are very enthusiastic about working on a program that will be so good that classes in future years will have no desire to change it. They want the Golden Anniversary class to be a pacesetter for time to come."
The new commencement format has not yet been finalized. ~lass officers and Home Room Reps have already begun work on the new program.

Mila 18 Shows Suffering In Wartime Bombshell
BOMBSHELLOF EMOTION
Leon Uris's Mila 18 is a hard-hitting novel depicting the Nazi's extermination of the Jewish population during World War II. The story is centered in Warsaw, Poland, but also reflects the Jewish plight throughout Europe.
PENNEDUP
The good Christians of Poland and Europe hide their eyes as the Jews are hearded into ghettos and penned up like cattle. Ears are also closed as the rumors of death camps are heard.
Inside the ghetto is the tragic story of the lives and emotions of these forgotten people. Fear, starvation, and death become their way of life as they are forced to sink lower and lower to the bottom rung of human existence. Their one light in the darkness is their deep faith in God which gives them hope and which they retain to the very end.
PUZZLE
For forty-two days the Jews hold the ghetto against full attack of the war-crazed Germans. At first with guns and last with stones they face the onslaught. They fought not only for their own lives, but for the survival of the Jewish civilization.
No book has left so deep an imprint on me as Mila 18. Leon Uris has packed love, hate, honor, sorrow, andmisery into a bombshell in the form of a book.
This bombshell is waiting to explode and transmit its shocking and heartbreaking message to all who are mature enough to grip its full meaning.

Preparing to make contact with another ham operator via Lincoln High' s new radio station are Danny Dantzler (standing) and Ron Van Boskirk.
Radio Club's Ambition: World-wide Conversation
"station WAJJLDX cal ling CQ" is the message which has been beamed out from Lincoln High' s new radio station since January 13 of this year. Members of Radio Club, which meets every Wednesday, have their own amateur radio outfit with which they are now trying to contact operators from each of the 50 states.
Two members of Radio Club have actually attained operator's licenses by passing examinations on radio theory and by proving their ability to send and receive Morse code. RonVanBoskirk, a sophomore, now holds a general license, being able to send and receive Morse code at 13 words per minute.
Danny Dantzler, also a sophomore, has a novice and a technician's license, having a code speed of five words per minute.
OPERATIONRULES
Under FCCregulations, anyone may speak over amateur radio provided he is under supervision of a licensed operator, who must control the radi<• set and send code messages ~!r. Merle Rudebusch, Radio Club sponsor, has held a general license since 1953. He states that "this is the first broadcast license Lincoln High has had since 1935. The present license will be valid until 1969, when it can be renewed."
CLUBGOALS
Explaining amateur radio, Mr. Rudebusch says that a set may be operated under a maximumpower of 1000 watts. Radio Club, which only uses 90 watts, considers itself fortunate to have contacted Canada and, so far, 12 states,
from both the east and the west coasts. One goal is to contact all 50 states, after which it will receive acerti ficate from the FCC.
Because it uses only a wire antenna, Radio Club cannot easily reach Europe, but eventually it hopes to get a beam antenna (somewhat like an overgrown TV antenna) and become "international. "
In addition to maintaining a radio log, amateur operators also exchange "postcards," with call letters and other information, to verify radio contacts.
NEWMEMBERSWELCOME
Call letters in the United States are always prefixed b.v "K"or "w." Each country has its own prefixes. For example, in Canada, the rrefix is "VE, 11 and in England it is "G."
Sponsored by Mr. Rudebusch, Radio Club features films, speakers, and field trips. Part of each meeting is devoted to learning radio code and theory, with the goal of helping more of its members earn amateur operator's licenses.
"The only requirement for joining Radio Club is to be interested. New members are welcome, and may soon find themselves calling 'CQ, CQ.:," says Mr. Rudebusch.
Speakers
Mr. Ned Hedges and Dr. Robert Knoll of the English Department of the University of Nebraska were featured speakers at recent meetings of the Writers Club.
In his March 4 talk, Mr. Hedges discussed books with which students should be familiar in order to understand literature. He provided each member with a sheet of suggested bibliography which he then discussed in detail.
BACKGROUND IN LITERATURE
The value of "children's literature" to the writer, the necessity of a background in mythology, and an understanding of allusions and symbolism in literature were brought out in his talk .
On March 18, Dr. Robert Knoll gave five hints for better writing which included: using active verbs. active voice; eliminating pronouns; writing concisely; and simplifying all writing.
FRESHMANENGLISH.RENAIS.SANCE
Mr. Hedges, an instructor at the University of Nebraska, is assistant chairman of the freshman English faculty and also works with the Curriculum Development Center which produces materials for Project English classes.
Dr. Knoll, a member of the University's graduate faculty, specializes in Renaissance Literature, particularly Elizabethan Drama and Elizabethan and Tudor poetry.

The plan for the HumanRelations Council members to participate was coordinated by the sponsors and officers of the group STIMULATESINTEREST
According to Tori Pearlstein, Human Relations Council member, news of the march has stimulated interest in membership in the Human Relations Council. "Anyone is welcome to come to our meetings and is encouraged to join our group."
Council sponso1s are: Mr. Paul Adams , Mr. Franklin Burden, Mr. James Carlin, and Miss Judith Roderick.
The conference, which drew a cross section of people representing all walks of life, was highlighted by the attendance of various delegates from such places as Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. Newsmen from many important cities of the world were in attendance. Chosen on the basis of scholastic and citizenship records, school activities, and other merits, the International Club members who attended the conference included· Vicki Clark, Terry Cosier· Jane Lind, Nedra Simmons ' Grant Story, Barb,ara Stoughton, Bruce Taylor, Martha Van Sickle , and Janice Van Vynckt.

The blessed event occurred on Wednesday last. Attending physicians were Mr. Alexander Currie and his assistants.
GIFT FROMDOCTOR
The parent guinea pigs were a gift from Dr. and Mrs. George Place
Speaking of the multiple birth, the Biology Department faculty says, "This could not have happened at a better time, since classes are presently studying mammals with the stress on heredity.
"These triplets have presented an excellent opportunity for students1 to study recessive genes. The mother is white, the father is white with a brown rump.
LIKE HIS DADDY
"The first guinea pig is a spitting image of his father, sinc e it is white with a brown rump.
"The second guinea pig is all white except that his head is black and brown. The third guinea pig being black and white shows the recessive gene to the greatest extent since neither of the parents showed any black."

Hansen Jan Hansen, in the College Prep Curriculum, has participated in both football and baseball, lettering in baseba!l.
Jan rates baseball as his favorite sport because "it is played in decent weather!" His most memorable moment at LHS was starting in the finals of the state baseball tournament even though he was the losing pitcher.
Participation in sports has helped Jan to "meet many people and become accustomed to locker rooms." His senior goal is to help take state in baseball this year.
When not "sleeping on the floor" he can be found "working out for woodchuck."

Lettering in Varsity football and track, John Spaedt has also been active in the Intramural program. The championship basketball game, where his team lost in three overtimes, was his most memorable experience. When not active in sports, John likes to settle back and enjoy "some go-o-od old Mountain De-ew because its go-o-od for yo-ou 11
He likes the individual sport of track because no one is dependent on you. "Your performance depends on yourself." As his senior goal, he was "devoted to helping Kent Radke with all his problems," however, since he crossed this out on his interview sheet, perhaps he no longer has a senior goal!
Making many new friends and learning true respect for his coaches has been gained by John through his participation in sports.

Use, But Don't Abuse
by Jeff Sayre
As we know, Lincoln High is very fortunate in having one of the finest student 1ounges in the state, and possibly in the entire country. Students along with the Student Council, have ~aid for and are continuing to pay for the many improvements which have madeour Loungewhat it is today.
* * *
I'm sure we would agree that ln= d ividual_res.Qonsi bi 1 it_y_l ies_with ~ach .Q~rsQn~ho uses the Loun~. The Lounge was built for use by students and we must all take on the responsibility tosee that it is kept clean and in good cond it ion.
* * *
Recent1y, it has come to the attention of the Student Council that someone has been intentionally destroying school property in the Lounge. Although the problem is now a minor one, probably involving only one or two students, it is a problem that must not_be_given_a_chance_!o_grQ~~ ATread~eight chairs and several new booths have been damaged, amounting to about $50 in repair costs.
* * *
The administration and the Student Council feel this type of action must stop. This damage is expensive to repair, and the money must comefrom the Student Activity Fund, which everyone helps to build through various school functions.
* * *
We are ask i rui_each_one of _y_outQ. p_lea§.i_take care_of_.YQUr_Lou_ng~.I'm sure that if those responsible for the damage will consider thei~ actions this won't happen again. I knoww~al 1 appreciate the opportunity to use our Lounge, and that everyone appearance.
Decency Demanded
The only thing that many adults seem to have to say about teens is that they "are going to the dogs!"
At last, the repetition seems to have affected a few teens, and they are tryingtofulfill the prediction.
Not only was there recently a popular dance called the dog, many teens wear haircuts c 1ose 1y resemb1i ng that of a sheep dog, and the way a few dress makes them look slightly less well-groomed than most dogs.
Because of these few people, the administration has deemed it necessary to set basic dress standards, on the theory that those who are dressed 1 ike ladies and gentlemen will act that way.
What are they asking? For girls, that skirts or ful I culottes shal 1 reach the knee. For boys, that socks be worn at all times, that shirts be worn over T-shirts, and that shirtta i Is are tucked in un1ess they are square cut. No cut-offs will be permitted.
Although school certainly is a rat race, perhaps some regulation is necessary to keep some students from 1ook i ng Ii ke one of the rats.

The Schesslers with six grads representing cla~oes from l 932-1940 were the family best-represented at open house.
Visit to Alma Mater Recalls Happy Memories
"Only Yesterday' was the thought uppermost in the minds of the grads and former faculty members who returned to Lincoln High for the Golden Anniversary open house, April 28.
Dr. R. D. Scott, member of the Lincoln High faculty from 1906-1910, was the oldest exteacher present, while Mr. Edwin Grone, Class of 1903, represented the oldest class present. Mr. Grone is the father of Miss Elizabeth Grone, chairman of the Foreign Language Department. Alums representing every class since 1912 turned out to inspect the alma mater and view the 16 highlighted educational areas added to the main block of the building "Since Yesterday."'
REUNIONOF 1500
Members of each class had an opportunity for a reunion with former classmates when each registered in rooms designated for their class.
An estimated crowd of 1500 zeroed in on Lincoln High for the anniversary fete. "It doesn't seem as if it's been that long since . . . " such was the conversation of alums as they viewed the special library display of old Advocates,li"nks,and Pictures of Lincoln in days gone by.
Improvements in the electronics shops and the new driver training simulators brought wide-eyed exclamations from grads both old
and young. A view of what many grads remembered as the old gyms and swimming pool produced a similar reaction as delighted grads discovered the Little Theater, history Team-teaching facilities, and Student Lounge.
Memories of hours and hours of grammar in a foreign language flooded back to grads inspecting the ALM foreignlanguage labs on third floor. Cries of "Hey, this used to be the botany roomP' came from grads who "discovere~ the modern facilities in the fourth floor biology labs.
CURIOSITY
Curiosity about the renovations in the auditorium and cafeteria probably explains the return of 53 alums of the Class of 1964, the largest representation of any single class. When these grads were up to their ears in senior activities, last spring, the work on these two improvements was just beginning. The members of the Class of 1964 wanted to see if improvements made were worth all the confusion. Apparently the answer is "yes!"
The Schessler family who turned out in mass for the for the open house represented the largest number from a single family. They are Althea M. (Giesick) Schessler (1936), David Schessler (1937), John Schessler CONT I NUED PAGE5
"There are times when a Person should be a non-con_formist, but we should remember that many times it's best just to 'go along with the crowd' to preserve friendly relationships!' This is the philosophy of our first Thumbnailer MaryFolmer, who is in the Teachers Curriculum.
Mary, whose favorite expression is "there's no need," Includes Madrigals, Choir, Opera, helping Mr. Pfeiff, and National Honor Society in her extracurricular activities list. She likes the long lunch hour(!) and the senior parties best about Linct>ln High, and her favorite subjects are fourth period and psychology.
Whennot eating oranges or wrestling, her favorite pastimes, Mary can be found indulging in her hobby--counselling Lougee! Grumpy people whodon't smile and one-sided friendships are her pet Peeves.
Mary, whoclaims Hobo Night soon to be her most memorable experience, plans to teach business.
* * * * *
"Well, that takes the rag off the bush." This expression can be heard coming from our next Thumbnailer Dave LaDuke, who is in the Business Administration Curriculum.
Dave, who's favorite pastime is participating in sports, lists the past two years of football "even though we didn't win" as his most memorable experience. Besides Varsity football, he includes intramurals in his extracurricular activities, and he likes the intramural sports programbest about LHS.
As a result of his "visits to the traffic court," his most embarrassing experiences, Dave's hobbies include walking as well as playing cards. Crowded dances are his pet peeve.
Dave, whoplans to work during the summer, will attend the University of Nebraska next year.
* * * * *
Being chosen a finalist for Homecoming Queen is rated as the most memorable experience of Thumbnailer Cathy Cave, who is in the Arts and Sciences Curriculum.
Cathy likes the opportunities LHS has to offer students in all fields and takes advantage of many extracurricular opportunities through participation on Keentime Kouncil, Red Cross Council, and as a HomeRoomAlternate. Outside school her activities include swimming, dancing, and trying to understand D.B. Boys who wear shoes with socks a.re her pet peeve.
Although chemistry is one of her favorite subjects, her most embarrassing experience occurred when she spilled a chemical substance on her hose during lab, and it disintegrated them!
Cathy, who plans to attend the University of Nebraska next year, advises underclassmen to "take advantage of as many opportunities in high school as you can."

"Plan ahead and do it right the first time, because when you' re a senior you can't say 'next year•," warns our last Thumbnailer Dennis Maloney, sometimes knownas "Big Cat. " Dennis' in-school activities include Varsity football and wrestling, "L" Club, and lounge jockey. Out of school, he enjoys Partying, being with Little "A", and butterfly collecting. Two-faced people are his pet peeve.
Lettering as a sophmore in wrestling rates as Dennis' most memorable experience, while being in Joy Night this year was his most embarrassing one.
Chemistry, analytical geometry, and lunch are listed as Dennis' favorite subjects. He is in the College Prep Curriculum and plans to enter the University of Nebraska next year.

In 1906, Dr. Scott, 86, taught the first freshman elementary science classes in the old building_at 15th and K Streets where Pershing Auditorium now stands. Dr. Scott recalls that LHS was then a four-year high school with approximately 1200 students and 25 teachers.
Dr. Scott left Lincoln High in 1910 to teach at the University of Nebraska where he remained until 1946.

Identical Twins Alike In More WaysThan One
"Say, there goes Dav.e Forsyth! Or is it Don???'
Being a twin often means confusion, and no doubt Seniors Dave and Don Forsyth cause plenty of it.
Dave and Don are identical twins. Dave is the senior member of the team, being born twenty minutes before Don. They look alike, act alike, and even talk alike.
SHARESIMILARINTERESTS
Both boys are members of Chess Club and Science Club. From here on their interests differ slightly for where Don adds International Club to his list of activities, Dave prefers Forum Club and Varsity tennis.
The boys find no disadvantages in being twins. "We've never tried anything different," they comment. If they have any problems at all with their "similarity," it lies with "people whoget us mixed up."
Dave and Don share "most things' and face no major complications with whouses what, when, and where. Their school schedules are the same; they have four-classes together. Don, however, has a slightly higher grade average than his counterpart.
BOTHWINSCHOLASTICHONORS
A memorable experience for the twins came when they both were chosen as Natioual Merit Finalists, and again when they were named Regents winners. Dave and Don were also tapped for National Honor Society.
Dave claims an additional "memorable experience" when he beat Terry Geistlinger at tennis.
Don and Dave feel that they are really "quite a bit alike" in areas other than physical appearance. Their interests and abilities usually coincide.
So, next time you see Dave Forsyth, look again! It may be Don!!??

Dieting on Schedule?
C~lor~e-Cutting Helps
Smee spring is here, female thoughts turn to boys, new fashions, and summer recreations. Whena girl thinks along these lines s~e always includes the idea of the "right figure." In turn, she diets!
Dieting_ is eating and drinking according to prescribed rules. The definition is simple,_ but following it is not quite so easy. With the variety of people in the world a variety in types of diets is needed. •
COUNTCALORIES
~ccording to several doctors, the most scientific and accurate way to diet is by calorie counting. To follow this diet, one mus~ have a set number of calories to be used during the day. Usually, the count is 900, 1200, or 1500 calories. Then, the count on every bite of food eaten in one day is kept For example, ap~lesauce has 25 calories and puffed wheat has 50 calories. These are low count foods and allow for more food to be eaten.
_But, ~ncorrect usage may cause hunger and dissatisfaction. For instance. "the usuar' snack, hamburger, french fries, and a malt, has 1050 calories. According to the rules of calorie counting, this snack would be enough calories for a whole day. It would be delightful eating for 10 minutes, but the consequence of hunger pains for the following 24 hours might be hard to bear.
Another type of diet is calorie-cutting. This is the essential "core" of all methods of reducing, but is a kind of diet in itself. Since it does not concern counting the calorie, a decision on every bite eaten isn't needed. Cutting out snacks and taking smaller portions of food at meals are the basic steps in a calorie-cutting diet. Passing up dessert and other fattening foods is important too.
TAKESWILLPOWER
Quite a few problems may occur with calorie-cutting. For instance, have you ever knownsomeone who declares she is on a strict calorie-cutting diet? After a few days her will power has greatly decreased and she' indulges in a piece of chocolate cake or a strawberry malt. That is really ~Q! the way to lose weight! Will power is the key word.
The popular "crash" diet is quite effecti~e for people who want to lose in spots, quickly. If used correctly, it cannot harm the humanbody. According to several doctors "crastl' diets should be used for ten day~ only. One of these "qui cl{' diets is the allsteak diet. A measured portion of steak is eaten at all three meals. It is the only food consumed. Similar to the steak diet is the all-cottage-cheese diet.
There is one big problem with this type of diet. Can you imagine eating 30 meals of cottage cheese?
When usinganyofthesediets, the psychology of reducing is very important.. The less ?ne_ talks about losing weight, the easier it is to stay on the diet. Also, wanting to ;.ose weight _because one wants to, not because Mother th mks I should-,'' is essential. It cuts out cheating.
When ~ollowing these rules, extra pounds could disappear. Then, what a lovely spring!

Keentime Calls Willing Teens
For Summer Service
Project
Keentime Kouncil issues the following call:
11KEENTIMEFOLLOWERS:Want to help the city of Lincoln? As young adults, we now feel the responsibility to contribute our time and effort to those who are less fortunate. Keentime Kouncil has volunteered to undertake the following proposed plan!
It is necessary to find capable camp counselors for the Handicapped Children's Camp. It would be of great benefit to these young children to have the opportunity of supervised recreational activities. In addition, this kind of experience gives volunteers a gratifying feeling of selfsatisfaction.
Keentime Kouncil plans to help the city by recruiting the counselors needed. Those interested should plan to be available during the week of July 19-23, or the first week in August. Eager students who would be interested in helping during both sessions would be more than appreciated.
Counselors will find the experience enjoyable, joining in with the hiking, swimming, crafts, and games.
Keentime followers believe in the growth and progress of serving youngsters and teenagers in Lincoln. This is but one of the many projects in which the Keentime Kouncil is interested.
This is only a small part of what we can do to serve the city of Lincoln. Consult Kouncil members Kathy Mason or Pam Tracy for registration blanks. 11

Somewhatof a "death house" reprieve has been granted to juniors and sophomores concerning this year's Color Assemb1y. It was recent 1y announced thattheassembly will be held, as in past years, in the Activities Building.
Credit for effecting the change in plans goes to the Senior Class officers, whopersuaded authorities that t he p 1an to exc\ ude a 11 b ut a few underclassmen was not the best.
While persuading the committee to change the plan, they must also have convinced its members that underc 1assmen ~ll,accep_t _the re!.Qonsi bi 1l!y_i;_hatmust_a 1ways_accomp_an~QI!= Yllfill~
This assembly was recently mentioned as the "1ast chance assemb1y." Although the Color Assembly has always been attended by the entire school, in recent years inattention and other misbehavior have caused second thoughts about this practice.
When it was announced that underclassmen would not be permitted to attend, the anguished outcry was 1oud and angry. Far from be i ng'j ust another assembly," the Color Assembly has long given underclassmen goals at which to aim. Too, when_they_are_seniors~ it seems sure that they_will_want_an audience_for their_awards.
Whether or not they have an audience for their Color Assembly depends solely on them. To insure that this tradition is continued, each sophomore and junior must be on his best behavior and show his appreciation tomorrow morning.
Tradition Uprooted
Although there is widespread opinion to the contrary, administration sources assure Lincoln High girls that the possibility of new Pepper uniforms is looked upon favorably and still under review, perhaps even for next year.
We feel the new uniform is a good idea. Although this wouldbea change in Pepper tradition, we feel that it would be a change for the better. The Pepper tradition of spirit is the only one that matters; dress, as long as it is uniform, is of relative unimpor~ance.
Possibly spirit could be even improved by the new uniform. F~el ing wel 1 dressed wi 11 rrake any girl feel just a 1ittle bit peppier.
Price appears to be the main obstacle. It is estimated that the proposed uni forms maycost up to twice as much as the present ones. This factor might be prohibitive to many girls, especially those who had planned to buy part of a graduating friend's uniform. However, this problem might not seem as great when one considers that both the skirt and blouse of the proposed three piece uniform could probably be worn with other outfits.
Also to be considered would be the a~ditional cost to the Pepper Club, since new emblems would have to be purchased for each member.
The new uniform is soon to be modeled for consideration by members of the administration and faculty.
We propose that the actual cost be computed and the uniform be modeled at a Pepper meeting. Then, all members could vote on whether or not they wish to make the change. If the majority are in favor of change, we trust that everything possible will be done to speed its coming.
'Annual' Thumbnails Honored
"To enjoy the rest of my senior year and keep my grades u~'is the senior goal of our first Links staffer, editorin-chief Kathy Hellweg, who is in the Arts and Sciences Curriculum.
Kathy likes the strong academic program and the variety of extracurricular activities offered at LHS, of which she takes advantage as a member of International Club, Forum Club Peppers, National Honor Club, Peppers, National Honor Society, and as a Home Room Representative and Joy Ni~t participant.

Remember theAlmanac For Humor, FreeAdvice
Today, a person reading an almanac would probably find the contents quite amusing, or perhaps even boring; however, not so very long ago rarely was an important decision made without first consulting the family almanac.
In the days of the almanac's greatest popularity, it was seldom that a person would have a tooth pulled, or plant a crop without first checking his almanac to be sure the signs were "right."
The almanac was (and is) a book or pamphlet usually published onc e a year. It gives information about the weather and lists other extraneous observations such as * * * the life expectancy of the male as compared

Besides Youth Symphony, she played for the Opera and Joy Night last year. She enjoys playing and listening to all types of music and her hobbies include her flute, reading, and swimming.
Peggy, whohas achieved her senior goal, making National Honor Society, will attend Wesleyan University next year,
"Any letters for Mike Howe?" asked an individual of a clerk at a post office window. "No letters here for anybody' s cow," was the reply.
Although all almanacs contained information, not all contained such humor. Many had pages filled with ads of business firms much the same as today' s newspap_ers and magazines.

Shenanigans, Where for Art Thou?
'Climbing
Swiftly moving up the ladder of success is one of the newest singing groups at Lincoln High, the Shenanigans.
theLadder of Success!'
Six "singing" seniors compose the group: Claudia Davis, Mike Douthit, Dave Hodtwalker, Bruce Rauscher, Jeff Sayre, and Gisele Weisman.
The Shenanigan "idea" originated with Gisele. After seeing (and hearing) a similar combination in Minneapolis, Minnesota, she decided to organize a group with Lincoln High musicians. The group originally consisted of Claudia, Bruce, Gisele, Jeff, andMike. "Dave dropped in on rehearsals once in awhile, so we adopted him," comments Gisele. They pattern most of their songs after those used by the New Christie Mistrels.
ENJOYINGSUCCESS
The Shenanigans have been working together since last summer; however, they have just recently been enjoying mounting success. They credit this "stardom" to morepeople "finding out" about them, and an increase in public appear-
party. They have even displayed their talents at activities out-of-town. On their agenda is the JuniorSenior Prom and the Nebraskaland Show.
On the average, they practice once a .week for about 1 1/2 hours, usually on Sunday afternoons or Tuesday evenings. If they have any practice problems at all it's due to the fact "we usually spend all our time socializing."
The Shenanigans haven't written any songs of their own but "we've been thinking about it," they comment. "Making a record could also be in our future plans," remarks Gisele.
Jeff has made a successful attempt at writing songs on his own. "walk My Way," a slow ballad, has previously been used by the group. He also composed another ballad entitled "Caroline. "
'GETALONGTOOWELL'
The Shenanigans have no problems working with each other. "In fact, we get along too well," they report. One of the disadvantages of belonging to the group is "it ances. interferes with other activ-

Gisele singing at homes for the and Claudia both belonged to elderly, and for the Pepper Sophomore and Junior Girls
Glee·s and are presently members of the Aeolian Choir. Claudia has also been active in her church choir and belongs to Madrigals. Jeff sings in the Boys Octet and the Aeolian Choir. He, too, has been active in church choir. "Teaching music" is included in his future plans.
Bruce, Dave, and Mike belong to the Classics, a local combo. Bruce has participated in Boys Glee and presently belongs to the Madrigals and Aeolian Choir.
Mike and Dave are accompanists for the group; both play guitars and sometimes banjoes. Dave is active in band and dance band.
'BORNSINGING'
Mike is the Shenanigan who was "born singing," as he recalls it. He belonged to glee clubs, throughout junior high school and is a member of his church choir. He has participated in the Boys Glee at Lincoln High, and is a member of the Aeolian Choir, the Boys Octet, and the Lincoln Boys Choir. He also sang the lead tn the school opera, The Music Man. Mike hopes to make a career of teaching vocal music.
They plan to continue singing together and hope to be "a success on campus" next year.
Electronic Device Held Responsible For Fun, 'Unfinished Homework'
At this particular time of the year, students lose the incentive to work and use the warming trend in the weather as the excuse.
However, during the dreary months whenthis alibi is not applicable the student must find a different reason for not finishing those last few algebra problems or completing his English assignment. In this case, an electronic device is too often h'eld responsible.
While sitting in that familiar chair at home have you ever wondered at the modern miracle that enables you to see a big league baseball player hit a home run, hear the President of the United States deliver a speech before Congress, or see a teacher bring a classroom into your living room?
Almost everyone today could answer this question immediately saying, "It's television of course!" This was not true a few years ago.
CENTURYOF EXPERIMENTS
Few of TV's millions of nightly fans realize that
experiments leading to modern television began more than 100 years ago with experiments related to the development of the telephone.
In 1884, a man named Nipkow developed a circular scanning device for picking up light waves. His apparatus, a disc equipped with holes in a circle around the edge of the disc, produced light rays by means of tubes connected to the edge holes. These tubes, in turn, were connected to lenses which magnified the light rays picked up by the holes as the disc was rotated.
Unfortunately this invention was able to produce neither a large nor clear picture and had no means for projecting images picked up from the light waves. Interest in television waned until around the turn of the century.
Other mventors, usingNipkow' s scanner idea plus a photoelectric cell, synchronous motor, and new knowledge of wave lengths (gained from the ~dvent of radio),
began to perfect a method of producing a seven-inch television image which could be transmitted short distances. By the 1920' s, inventors and researchers had turned early theories into working TV models. Yet it took another 30 years for TV to become an industry. The time lapse was caused by technical difficulties and financial problems.
NOVELTYOF TV
The novelty of the new TV caught the imagination of those who saw it, but the picture received by th€ viewer was still so poor compared to the motion pictures of the day that interest again waned until the close of World War II.
By applying radio techniques gained from the war to the newly improved Cathcode ray tube, scientists were again able to fire the imagination of the American public. This time, with improved long distance transmission of clearer pictures, the TV revolution in entertainment and communication was here to stay. Since 1946, the number of television sets and viewers in the United States has been growing steadily.
Next time you put off homework by sitting in front of the television set or resent the homework assigned by a teacher on TV in a classroom, think of all the "homework" others did for nearly a century so that we today can enjoy this great expander of communication and broadener of human experience by just the flick of a switch on the front of a box.

DIET STILL WEIGHTY PROBLEM
It's time for girls to start thinking about swimsuits and shorts, and to stop, look, and face their figure problems.
Now that Lincoln High students have had two weeks in which to read and test The Advocate suggestions for dieting, it was decided, in the interest of public welfare, that a progress report be made.
The roving reporter asked this question:
WHENYOUWANTTO LOSEWEIGHT,WHATDOYOUDO?
Deanna Lewis-Stop eating, if Carole Bauer-Stop eating. it's _possible!!.
Melody Sommer-Quiteating and Linda Owens -Not much. I try take up screaming ! ! to leave my money at home.

Janice Fjeldheim has achieved second place in a three-state area by her performance in the National French Contest offered to fourth-year French students. Spanish students took the National Spanish Contests, but district results have not yet been announced. French and Spanish students who took advanced placement tests at the University of Nebraska also made outstanding showings, with 32 scoring high enough to receive credit hours at the University.
Seniors had been keeping this day (May 7) a secret for over a month and when it finally came, they went all-out.

With a swimming party in the pool of the activities building, held May 17 , the club ' s activities for the year came to a close. Next year, because of the new scheduling program, Lincoln High will probably have tw o chess clubs, one for sophomores and one for juniors and seniors, according to Mrs. Louise Baugher, sponsor of the LHS Chess Club.
Want Your Own Chess Set?
Simple Solution-Make One
Do you play chess? If so and if you should not have your own chess set, here is something for you, the do-ityoursel f chess set. NOTEASYBUTFUN
Two Lincoln High students presently are undertaking such a project. Karl Indriksons and Lee Pohlenz , both enthusiastic chess players , comment on the new project "It's not easy -but it's fun."
Karl and Lee became interested in making chess sets early this semester but found that it was hard to obtain molds for the pieces Lee's grandmother, however , who is interested in ceramics could obtain one mold, and Mrs. Louise Baugher, one of the sponsors of the Chess Club, was able to order another style.
TWOFIRING PROCESSES
The pieces are poured, the raw edges scraped and sanded, and bisque fired before they can be glazed;
Through Mrs. Shirley Martin, chairman of the Lincoln High School Art Department, the firing process of the pieces could be done in the kiln in the art workshoos.
Karl and Lee must apply two coats of glaze, then the pieces are fired again before they are ready to use. Since the pieces are so light, they will be weighted When everything is completed, the sets will be on display in one of the show cases in the entrance hall.
Taylor Triumphant
Second place in the Individual Chess Championship Tournament among Lincoln's high school s tu den ts was won by Dave Taylor, a junior at Lincoln High.
Dave, also a memberof the TAYLOR city championship team, won three of four rounds. Commenting on his award Dave says, "When the tournament director gave me the trophy, I got so enthusiastic about shaking his hand, he had to tell me to let go!"
Other students, playing for Lincoln High, included: Dave Forsyth, Don Forsyth, Bruce Gillan, Walt Warnsholz and Chuck Wilson.

Baseball, Track, Cop District Titles
For the third straight year, the Lincoln High baseball team made its appearance in the state meet.
Clutch hitting proved to be the winning factor as the Links downed Pius X 8-6 in the district finals.
Pitcher Mike Bouman and outfielder Bill Bauer led the attack on the Bolts as Bouman helped his own cause by blasting a two-run homer in a three-run second inning. Bauer contributed two hits, driving in a pair of runs and scoring another
The Links gave Bouman a 5-run margin to work with going into the last inning. This lead was big enough for him to pick up his fifth win of the season against no losses before he was relieved by Mike Delaney who stopped the Pius rally.
In the first round of District play the Links defeated Lincoln Northeast, 5-4 in extra innings. The win en,abled them to meet Pius in the finals.

Hi, Links,
Well, it seems hardly possible, but there are only fourteen more days of school for you sophomores and juniors and only eleven days left for seniors Seniors, this gives you only a few more days to play the role of big upper-classmen. Let's all make the most of these last days.
And to make the best of those lazy summer days, don't forget Miller's and the Place--both Downtown and Gateway Be sure to see the blue and pink checked shorts outfits and also the many other sportswear coordinates Miller's now has on hand.
In case you haven't noticed, plans are already being made for next year. Congratulations to the new Varsity cheerleaders, octets , and Student Council members! Next year should really be great!

It's 'Ship Ahoy' For Doris Adams; Next Stop-Denmark
Next stop, Copenhagen, uenmark! were the words which gr e eted Lincoln High junior Doris Adams when she opened a large envelope r ecently received from the American Field Service office in New York.
"The envelope seemed too large to be a rejection, 11 Doris recalls. "WhenI opened it and read that· I was to be an AFS Student in Denmark during DORIS July and August , I just couldn't believe it!
11The feature I'm looking forward to most in Denmark is the scenery," she continued. She should find plenty of that as the family with whom Doris will spend the summer has a house which literally has a lake in its front yard! 40 POUNDSOF CLOTHS
Although all the members of Doris' Danish "family" speak English, a language barrier worries her somewhat as she looks toward the summe r.

Brave New World?
As graduation time draws near, Lincoln High seniors begin thinking seriously about what the future will. hold for them. They are torn between a sadness of 1eav i ng behind the secu,r i ty of high school, and the anticipation of experiencing an entirely new way of 1 i fe.
For the past three years they have fitted themselves into a pattern of scnool 1 ife, five days a week, six hours a day. They have been directed, chided, corrected, praised, and rewarded, yet the majority of their de~isions were not their own. They were told what to do and when to do it. *****
Hey, senior! The new 1ife you will step i nto. no 1onger wi 11 make you r decisions, nor will it tell you what to do. This new 1 ife doesn't care. The achievements you make will be of va 1ue on1y to you, and you must 1earn to pay your own way.
Youhave experienced your last basketba 11 game, the 1as t sound 'announcement, the last visit to that familiar 1ocker, and the 1ast be 11 that announces the end of another school day. Your secure high school days have ended. You are in a world you no longer belong to; you are a senlor who is no longer a senior.
You will enter a strange new world with an unknown future waiting especially for you. Are you prepared to take your place? P.S.

Yearbook Signers, Get Your Pens!
Well, it's that time of year again. Spring has sprung--bringing flowers, birds, warm .sun, and a whole barrage of ye arbooks for s tuden ts t o sign.
As veterans and survivors of this annual invasion, it is our wish to acquaint the reader with the techniques and styles of yearbook si gning. Proof of our qualifications to philosophize on this subject include writer's cramp, ink stain, and eye strain. A few of the most popular phrases, the old trite stand-bys, include : "Be good (if possible)," ''Have fun this summer," or "Best of luck." These are as commonas Peppers on Friday and can be found repeatedly in almost any yearbook. Actually , nobody means it, but it takes up space and seems the right thing to say.
FLATTERY:KEYTO SUCCESS
By far the most common type of note is what can appropriately be called "mush" and is written by people who realize that flattery will get one everywhere! These little notes tell you "how cool you are," what a "great personality you have," and how much they've "enjoyed knowing you ; 11 very often they don't even know you at all!
Really, very few people will be perfectly frank and tell you exactly what they think. After all , who wants to be remembered 20 years in the future as saying "You make me sick!" But there are always those few who don't mind getting their teeth knocked in as long as they voice their opinion honestly. Every year someone appears who has one cute little saying he writes in everyone's yearbook-something like "Lord, what fools these mortals be!" or "Excelsior!" How are you supposed to take that?? GETTHEHINT
Now and then a hint-dropper pops up. A typical example of this sly one would be, "Congrats on getting that new speed boat and skis for graduation. Boy, I'd give anything to learn to ski. See y~ lots this summer. Love " Get the hint!?!
The smart signers are the ones who write on dark pictures or dark print with light pens so no one can read it This is quite a trick and comes in handy when you can' t think of anything to say but "Gee, I hope you don' t drown in the new pool this summer."
* * * * *
All you have to do to get a degree in annual signing is pick out which of these characters suits you best and then follow the simple pattern set here In no time at all you' 11 have the hang of it, plus writer's cramps, ink stains, and ey e strain "Lots of luck, have fun this summer. and be good (if possible)."
Agreeing with Charles Schlutz in saying "Happiness is being a· Hangnail er" are all the Advocate' s "Happy Hangnailers": (left to right) Randy Rhody, Werner Goessling, Bruce McLarty, Larry Dietrich, Fred Horn, Ron Culwell, Leslie Prai,

AFS Students Leave • '
Only a few days are left in this school year. Soon the long summer vacations will begin. For many it means long sleep in the morning and afternoons in the swimming pool or on the golf course, a summer job or a trip with the family. For us AFS students, however, it will mean going home.
Although most of us are looking forward to seeing our families and friends again, it will not be easy to say good-bye to all these nice people we have met here.
Never in my life has time gone by as fast as during this year in Lincoln. Actually, I remember very well my first day at Lincoln High as if it were yesterday.
With a sheet of paper in my hands, I walked through the halls looking for the classroom where my first class was to be held. Although before school had started I had been taken on a tour of Lincoln High, I only remembered that it seemed to me like a labyrinth. How would I ever find my way around?
The room I was looking for was 325. When I finally came to the door with the number 320 on it, I thought now it couldn't be far, but. .. there was 324 and 326; where, however, was my room?
Since it was almost time for the bell, I asked two students how to find Room 325. "There down the hall," one of them answered.
"Thank you,'' I said, and, leaving in that direction I heard the other say, "He seems quite old for a sophomore."
When the bell rang I just had entered the room I had been looking for. Some seats were still free, both in the back and in the front." Sit in the back, that's never wrong,'' I thought and took a
seat there.
EASIERTHANEXPECTED
Now the teacher started reading the names of the students in the classroom. The pronunciation of my name seemed to give her a hard time, so we tried it together.
Then I confessed to her that I was a German AFS student. This seemed to explain her pronunciation difficulties. She said she was very glad to have me in her class. That gave me some self confidence, although, as many of my friends will say, I actually never lacked it.
The first day in my other classes was very similar. Reading names, assigning seats, pronunciation trouble with myname, and after identifying myself to the teachers an offer of assistance by them whenever I should need help in, their classes.
WhenI went home that first day, I was quite satisfied; the beginning had been easier than I had thought.
The following days, weeks, and months were full of new experiences. Since seven years I had attended a noncoeducational school; now, what a change! Since my fourth grade I have not had any womenteachers; now only one of my seven classes was taught by a male teacher.
As a foreign student you are always asked about your impressions. Honesty and diplomacy are the key words in these cases, because if you always express your honest opinion you may hurt the feelings of your hosts, and if you are always too diplomatic you can hardly express any opinion.
Therefore you have to find a compromise. My hardest time I probably had with questions concerning football and modern popular music. Whereas in the case of football I changed my opinion a little bit after the first months,
commenting on popular music still gives me a rough time. Of course, in the beginning you make mistakes. When I attended my first pep rally - in Germany we don't have anything like it - I really could not figure out what was going on there! What caused this kind of mass hysteria? All this only for a victory in the upcoming football game?
Asked afterward about my commentI compared my new experience with a ritual in an African bush. Oh, if only I hadn't done this! Nobody showed any understanding for my impression, not at all. I was accused of not knowing what school spirit was. From that time on I was very careful with too frankly-made comments.
SCHOOLSYSTEMDIFFERENT
Often I was asked how difficult I thought the American high school actually was in comparison with schools in Germany. To answer this quest ion I have to say a few words about the German school system. In Germany we have a so-called "three tracl{' system. There are technical and trade schools, which four of every five students attend. to the ·~iddle schools,'' literally translated, one of every six students goes. In addition to these two types, you will find the Gymnasium, a public college prep school. Only one among twenty students is academically eligible to attend such a school. This probably shows that attending a Gymnasiumis more work than one would normally find in a high school here.
EXCITING,INTERESTING
Looking back on my year at Lincoln High I have to say it was exciting, interesting, and much fun. It certainly was more valuable than I ever thought it could be.

Therefore I will leave my address here: Werner Goessling 48 Bielefeld/Germany Poststr. 6 Thanks to all of you once more. It has been a great year at a great school!
BACKTOPERU FOR"CACHIT0' 1 CACHO-SOUSA
"I' 11 never forget myvisit to the United States because the life here is so completely different from life in my country," says Cachito Cacho-Sousa, American Field Service student from Lima, Peru.
Cachito found school in America "much easier than at home" where she is required to take 14 to 16 subjects at the all-girl Catholic high school she attends. "In Peru, everyone at school must wear a uniform. Our school is very strict and no one is allowed to_wear any makeup."
Before she came to the United States, Cachito says she knew little about the country although she had known people from this country.
"WhenI came all I knew was that my destination was the 'N-e-b-r.' printed on my papers.
"The greatest contrast I first observed in the U.S. was the difference in the styles of houses. At home all the houses are made of brick and have flat roofs. Here some are built of brick and many are made of wood and other materials. All of your houses have peaked roofs, too!"
Although architecture may be different, Cachito has found that teenage activities are universal. "The only big difference in teen life between America and Peru is that in Peru teenagers attend activities in groups rather than in single-couple dating.
"I have found life in the United States completely different from life in Peru; I hope to return to the United States in a few years."
CHAKOCYJAWAEXPERIENCES WIDENEDHORIZONS
----irBeforeone can understand Japan or the Japanese people, he must know of the changes that have come about in JapanesR life since World War II, 11 says Chako Ogawa, AFS student from Nagasaki, Japan.
"Whenever I speak to groups in this country I find that western people have an image of the old Japan before WorldWarII," Chako ruefully observes. "once a girl even showed me a picture she had found in a social studies book of a Japanese woman in a rice field and wanted to know if life was like that in all Japan!
"Whenone looks at the revolution in Japanese life since World War II, he can compare it to the short history of the United States and its rapid development. - "The first big contrast I noticed between Japanese and American life was the great freedom American teenagers enjoy. In Japan, teenagers and their parents are separated by a wal 1 of formality. A Japanese teenager would rarely discuss anything freely with the parent as I've seen American teenagers do.
11
At home Chako is kept busy by her six-day week at Nagasaki South High School. At week's end she is free to participate in teen activities which, she observes, are not so different from the activities of American teens, although teenagers in Japan don't begin dating until they are of university age.
Chako's daily schedule at Nagasaki South includes the required five sciences, three social studies courses, Japanese literature and grammar, English, mathematics, physical education, and home economics plus a choice of music, art, or Chinese literature as an elective.
At Lincoln High Chako also had experience with American literature when she helped with the pages of Japanese haikus published in the 1965 Scribe. In addition to writing a haiku in Japanese characters then translating it into English, Chako drew a Japanese scene to accompany the haiku pages of the Scribe.
"I don't enjoy reading haikus in English because Americans can't appreciate the sounds and deep connotations of the Japanese words," Chako explained.
"My stay in the United States has been wonderfull ," says Chako. "I think my visit here has changed my way of thinking because it has made me open my eyes to the whole world."
Glancing through books on Germany are AFS students cachito Cacho-Sousa, Werner Goessling, and Chako Ogawa.

To the envied men of glory above, Not fully knowing that in their peril these men walk lower
Than the humblest in the circus crowd.

Time
Time is like the wind Which passes to and fro Sometimes moving quickly Sometimes moving slow But always moving forward Always on the go.
Time had no beginning striving for unobtainable perfection
And time will have no end Time continues onward Time will never bend a flick e ring flame, ga sping for air

The Swamp
Behold the swamp Primitive and ancient, Mysterious and beautiful , Peaceful and violent.
Behold the inhabitants Of land and water-Alligator and lizard, Turtle and snake.
Behold the inhabitants Of air and tree-Ibis and egret, Spoonbi 11 and roseate.
Behold the life A struggle of existence, Amongthe mangroves And the hammocks.
Behold the swamp Life upon death, Through the ages Continuous.

THE AWAKENING
Mother rocks her child of three And strokes his head.
This his horizon No thought has he to reach or see Beyond--The world to him is Me.
Bewildered--his boundaries rearranged-He grasps beyond Not knowing why. The need for s omeone helping Me The world is now defined as We
Challenged--his selfish world divided-He stumbles, But unafraid and destined to grow. Now courage lights his new-found way. The world unfolds to welcome They.
Enlightened--his familiar universe restored-He returns home, Wiser and aware , To shape his life by different view. The world awakes to welcome You.
By J ennifer Safford
How It's Done
You can't stop the world like you can't stop the tide,
But if you jump in and swim with the current you may get a free ride
To the top of the pile.
Whereas if you don't you may find yourself sinking after a while.
Which all goes to show that it pays to be nice, Because being contrary will not suffice.
Things go the way you want them to provided you want them to go the way they are.
Trying to change them won't ever get you very far.

'Good for Book Cover' Notes Faithful Reader
I love the paper, I think it's swell ; The day it comes out I run pell-mell
To get my copy and Read each 1 in e , The stories and columns I think are fine.
I laugh at the jokes, I read the ads, I note all the news, I take in the fads.
When I praise the paper I scorn those who laugh. I'm really loyal ... I'm on the staff.
Anonymous
Before contemplating the answe rs to The Adv ocate survey taken recently, we were afraid the staff might be the only ones who felt this way, and we weren't too sure of them. However, results, basedonnearly one half of the survey, (final results will be announced in the fall) were a happy surprise. Seventy-nine per cent of the readers read Th e Advocate regularly, 18 per cent read it sometimes, and 3 per cent hardly ever. ·
Sixty-two per cent of the students at Lincoln High read most of the paper, another 32 per cent read only some, 5 6 per cent read very little, and .4 per cent read none One person checked that he hardly ever reads the paper, and, when he does, he reads none of it! Maybe he just looks at the pictures.
Static is usually enjoyed by 50 per cent of the readers, as is Thumbnails. Sons of the Black and Red seems to be the most popular column, attracting 51 per cent of the readers. Quotable Quizzes lag behind, claiming only 24 per cent of reader attention.
SPORTSRATEFIRST
The sports page seems to be the most popular section, since it is the first thing to which 40 per cent of Lincoln High students turn. Twenty-three per cent look first at features, 21 per cent at news, and a serious-minded 8 per cent read the editorial page first. For mathematicians in the group, the data compiler is aware that the figures quoted for this question do not add up to 100 per cent. This is due to the fact that some readers seemingly do not always r ead th e same type of items firs t .
In answer t o que s tion nine on the sur v ey , relating to what s t uden t s would like to see in The Ad v o c ate it was found that 9 p e r cent o f th e stud ent body wo uld enjo y book reviews, 34 per c ent cartoons, 44 per cent would like more pictures, 1 per cent would like fewer pictures, 53 per cent would enj o y letters from readers, and 37 per cent guest editorials.
To the 421 people whowould like more letters from readers, NO ONElikes letters better than the staff--every letter means less work for somebody. The problem is, we don't~ any letters. At times, we have come close to writing ourselves--just to know that somebody cared
Almost every article published seems to have been someone ' s favorite. However,there is a front runner. A recent editorial was cit e d by 20 per cent of the student body as having been especially enjoyed.
We are sure our modest sports editor will be pleased (in his quiet way, of course) to know that 42 per cent of the students of Lincoln High feel that The Advocate gives especially good sports coverage. However, some of these people feel, as one student put it, that sports coverage is "good- - too good."
HONORABLE?
Wewill be puzzled for some time as to the exact thoughts of the person who wrote that The Adv ocate gives especially good coverage to "honorable students."
Sports again topped the list when students were asked which areas should receive more of the spotlight. One enthusiast feels that we neglect some of the minor sports, notably tiddly-winks and croquet. It has been found that the excitement generated by accounts of these sports is often too muchfor the average reader, so their coverage was discontinued some years ago.
Ever at the head, more people felt that sports were covered too extensively more than any other subject However , only 8 per cent of the students feel this way. Suggestions for improvement ranged from the unbelievable to the impossible . Opinions ranged from advice to "stop printing' and "get a new staff" to the highest praises (all the people who said The Advocate is already an outstanding paper can't be on the staff.)
A point to ponder was brought up by one person who said, "The pictures of the Sons of the Black and Red could be much improved, they often make those honored look like juvenile delinquents." (The photographer claims that they refuse to smile for the birdie.)
Lest the staff become conceited by the large number of regular readers and the many compliments received, we may have a sign made quoting the reader who wrote that "the pictures in The Advocate are just about as uninteresting as many of the stories."
From the staff goes a thank you to each person who participated in the survey. It is hoped that the final resul ls will serve as a guide and source of ideas to next year's staff.
In the event that the survey serve no other purpose, tabulating them has given one staff member a great many fewer hours in which to get in trouble.
Smile,

Prologue:
"We are the Links, and we couldn't be prouder'"
Our high scho~l days are a link with the past, a link to the future, a "golden Link" from the · carefree, frivolous days of unknowing adolescence to an increasing awareness of a new world, an adult world filled with new freedoms and new responsibilities. Lincoln High has provi~ed ~he materials to build and strengthen this link~increasing knowledge, friendships, experiences, activities, and opportunities.
* * *
Today, 50 years since the graduation of the first class from this building, we are the products of these years; we are the Links--gaining from the past, living in the present, preparing for the future. We are the "golden Links' and this is the Tale of the Golden Link--Our Days at LHS. The very beginning, the birth of this "link," came in the ninth grade when the decision was made to come to Lincoln High. For some, it was as natural and automatic as something they'd always taken for granted; for others it was a longer process of inner debate before choosing LHS; still for others, it was where their friends were goinga "group spirit." Somehow', though, through registration and after a summer of anticipation and preparation, the big day finally arrived.
DAY: 'BEWILDERMENT'
FIRST
And what a day it was! Although the girls had been somewhat oriented at the sophomore tea and the boys through summer activities and sports, bewilderment was the prevailing emotion. Arriving in the building, we scurried frantically through the long crowded halls, looking for the right room, seeing hundreds of unfamiliar faces, and'. gratefully, a few, friendly familiar ones. But even through this "las~ feeling, a certain glow of pride, from the first win at new Seacrest Field, of excitement, and of incentive arose Within us as we realized that we were now. part of the great LHS tradition and name, and we began to take an active part in school life as "Links."
New subjects--TV English, biology, geometry-gave some idea as to what paths our future education might take, and also, how much of our "tons' of homework we could do in study hall to avoid the weary trudge home with those great, overpowering mounds of books.
New extracurricular activities made themselves known. Sophomores competed for Mimes, Aqualinks, Orpheons, and student government positions as they joined other clubs to increase both knowledge and friendships. The more ambitious boys went out for all sports, a few succeeding, other dee id ing on the "try, try, again II policy (next year).
All in all, the Sophomore Class of 1963, introducing the first Grub Ball, ended the year with enough spirit, togetherness, and drive to try to make ours the best class yet to come through LHS.
CONFIDENTIN-BETWEENERS
The fall of '63 found us confident juniors, in between the "childish sophomores' and the "glorified seniors: eager to really prove ourselves.
Starting the year with a Student Council kickoff dance, followed by many, well-attended dropins and Keen-times after the games, we supported school social life wholeheartedly, including the annual Turkey Ball and Junior-Senior Prom, hostessed by juniors.
Again girls tried for Aqualinks and Reserve Cheerleader; boys went out to earn their letters and L-pins (which the girls also went out for!), succeeding with State Gymnastics and Golf teams, a City Basketball crown, and District Baseball honors.
Elections for Student Council and County Government Day, plus participation in Joy Night, the AllSchool play, and Mummersplay highlighted school activities, This was also the first year of the Class Competition in which the juniors so nobly regained the trophy second semester from the unambitious seniors.
However, life was not all extracurricular as the list of junior achievements and activities might indicate. Although the honor roll had listed many
II sophomores the year before, courses such as teamteaching" American history and English Lit. forced us to the realization that school wasn't getting any easier. On the contrary, one had to plan his time well in order to keep from losing sleep trying to get everything done; but what red-blooded junior cared about a little sleep?
GOLDENANNIVERSARYCLASS
Time whizzed by and before long we were asked to try to fill the shoes of the seniors, which, at first, seemed a little big, but we grew into them and perhaps added a little tradition and glory as the 50th graduating class.
We were welcomed back to 'ol LHS from summer swimming at the new Woods Pool and summer jobs by many new building additions and improvements--the Little Theatre, a renovated :Student Lounge and auditorium, and a new cafeteria in which the motto for success was "every man for himself!"
The Class of '65, largest class yet to be graduated at LHS, fulfilled its prophecy also to be the best class graduated at LHS in every field.
First, Lincoln High seniors made their mark in scholarship with 6 Merit semi-finalists and a long list of Regents winners. Recognitions at Color Assembly only emphasized the great scholastic and leadership potential.
In the arts, LHS ranked an impressive first in the Fine Arts Festival, and scored an all-time high in attendance and praise of the '65 Opera, Music Man.
"JOB WELLDONE"
Lincoln High teams rated the traditional "job well done" in most cases in '64-'65; the most heartbreaking loss was to Southeast in District Basketball. The spirited Peppers, Cheerleaders, and L-men led the student body chanting "Oh, when the Links go marching in" during rallies and games; through tears and smiles, win or lose, spirit was never absent, as this was "our" year, the last.
Heading towards the finish line, studies were not completely. ,forgotten as the dreaded senior themes, chem quizzes, International Relations notebooks, and term papers were handed in. The new 8:00 and 9:00 schedule was accepted wholeheartedly by the kids free at 2: 30, who were given nasty stares by those trying to concentrate on 7th period.
Hobo Day ( long wi 11 it be remembered by students and faculty alike!), the Sign-Out Party, introducing a great Links, the Junior-Senior Prom, and finally Baccalaureate and Commencementclosed the book to our days, unforgettable and rewarding, at LHS. The link from the past to the future was completed--from knowledge, opportunity, and achievement in every field.
* * * * *
EPILOGUE
Through happiness and tears, success and heartbreaking failure, through glory and disappointment, we've come through these years. We've made many lifelong friendships and learned many things, not only from books; we have had lessons on life and finding our place in it, serving and working to our fullest potential in whatever we do to make it rewarding to us and those around us.
No, we will never forget the part of our lives we spent here at LHS--in the lounge, in the halls, in the classroom, on the field; but now, as the Golden Anniversary Links, wemust look back, satisfied with our accomplishments and actions, and then without regret and with the full maturity we have gained here, turn and look to the future for which wehave been preparing, new freedoms and new responsibilities.
Always with us, though, will we take a little part of these days, for no matter how far we travel, how muchwe may learn, or how long we may live, we are, and always will be the Links--and we couldn' t be prouder ! ! !

Minas is the son of Armenian parents who fled from Turkey so that their children could practice their own religion and culture and study languages. The study of Armenian, Arabic, and English is forbidden in Turkey.
The family now lives in Beirut, Lebanon, where Minas' father works as a blacksmith. Minas and his two brothers and two sisters attend the Guertmenian School, a school founded 35 years ago by American immigrants of Armenian ancestry.
SOCCERENTHUSIAST
Minas is in Kindergarten II and is a bright student. His favorite subjects are arithmetic and the Armenian Ian-

blue yonder" might well be the theme song of Lincoln High teachers, Miss Judy Farris and Mr. Bob Harder.
Another school year and athletic year becomes a matter of record! The record was, in total, a positive one and for this the thanks and appreciation for !la job well done" must goto all those who compiled the record.
As the athletic year ends, it would be well worth the time of all sophomores and juniors who plan to enter the athletic program next year to examine the recent performances of several LHS athletes. I am referring to the achievement of Kent Radke and John Spaedt. With over ~O years of athletic history and all the State Track Meets in history, they, by their objective performances, puttheirnames in the Lincoln High Athletic History Book! To do this required many hours and years of dedicated work along with a "burning desire" to excel.
John Spaedt, in winning the Gold Medal in the shot put with a 57'2!" performance (the best ever for an LHS boy), and Kent Radke, with a state record performance of 1:56.~ in the 880, added their names to the Red and Black athletic record book. These two young men answered the question "What's My Name?" and did it with their best performances. Other top performances were made by boys in other sports in our program.
The major point I'm driving at is that our basic aim and objective should be both as individual athletes and team performers to do our best and set our sights to compare with the best, not just to put in our time with mediocre performances. And so, as the year ends, my sincere appreciation to our entire athletic staff and to all those young men who represented Lincoln High in its athletic program,fortheir effortandperformances.
For those returning for competition next year, perhaps a lesson may be gained from the results of Radke and Spaedt. Their marks were not ach ieved by just thinking about it, they did somet~ i ng about it. They conditioned their bodies and mInds to the idea that they wanted to be better than just average and they were.
Radke and Spaedt gave their best. You, too, can be prepared physically, mentally, and emotionally to do your best. This is all anyone can ~sk. If you do it, Lincoln High has a good athletic year ahead.
SPAEDT
The Lincoln High track team after qualifying 14 for the state meet had 3 place. John Spaedt, Kent Radke, and John Walters each gave his top individual effort of the year as they led the Links to a fifth place finish in one of the best field of performers the state has ever had. John Spaedt let go with the best throw ever made by a Lincoln High athlete in the shot His toss of 57' 2 ' easily out-distanced the field , the Hnest ev e r assembled in the event
RADKEBREAKSRECORD
Kent Radke got to the track before the heavy rains covered it and broke the state record, posting a 1: 56. 4 in the halfmile. Radke' s tremendous performance was capped by his finish. Running behind the leaders most of the way, he took the lead just before the final 220. His sprint to the finish line easily outdid the fast fie(d.

Through the years, Lincoln High has compiled a long impressive athletic history. Again this year, LHS added more trophies and championships to its enviable r e cord.
The 1964 football squad ended its season with a 4-5 record. Al though this may not sound too impressive, the four wins consisted of some of the top teams in the state, including OmahaSouth (38-0); Grand Island (20-0); Omaha Central (31-6); and Hastings (42-0).
SOMMERSSTEPSDOWN
At the end of the season
Jim Sommers, Varsity coach since 1958, stepped down. As head coach he compiled an over-all record of 32 wins, 30 losses, and 1 tie.
In late ~larch, Andy Loehr of McCookwas named head Varsity coach; Alden Johnson will be assistant coach.
The cross dountry team wound up its season with the city and district titles.
At the close of the fall sports season the Links looked ahead to bigger and better things with winter sports.
The basketball team wasn't tall , but they were on the ball as the record confirms. The team recorded a 7-9 season. They stayed with Lincoln Southeast through the whole game, but in the last three seconds of an overtime Southeast sank the deciding shot.
The 1964-65 Gymnastic squad gained a tie for the city championship with Linc oln Northeast. With an 8-2 re c ord the team went to th e s tat e t ournam e nt to de f e nd th e ir c hampionship , placin g s ec ond.

High School More than Building; Ideals Give Meaning to Service
What is a high school? A structure? stone and masonry built to architectural specifications? Books? Equipment? A!!. high schools are these. But buildings, books, and equipment are not enough. Lincoln High has a deeper meaning than just being a building that bears its name. It is a community of youth and adults within the larger comm~nity of Linecln. !tis organized to serve "all of the children of all of the people. 11 · Lincoln High School is a laboratory of democracy, dedicated to its ever-changing, never-changing population. It exists to help fulfill the Ii ves of the academically talented, the average, and youth with special learning pro bl ems.
To this end, Lincoln High School is constantly on the alert to keep abreast of the newest in educational trends. It has seen, over the years, the adoption of those innovations that have been proved of value. Even as these are being absorbed into the academic program, new ideas are tried that, when they prove their worth, are tied in with the established values.
EACHCHILD AN INDIVIDUAL
The school, symbolized by its faculty and administrators attempts to serve each child as an individual, discovering and developing the special talents in each. With this individualized pro-

gram, Lincoln High also serves the parents whose primary concern is to see the best possible life for their child.
The community,which benefits from this special i zed approach to education, is also served as each young person is guided and trained to take his meaningful place in society.
With its great sense of re~onsib:ili ty tu the yuuth of this area, Lincoln High strives to offer courses to meet the needs of modern Ii ving, I ts courses, methods, and personnel grow and change as demands are made upon them. Thus the vocational, college preparatory, fine arts and other departments all ~dd what is new in techni (Jles, practices, and equipment.
CONSTANTIMPROVEIIENTS
New materials and methods are too numerous to list. A few of the latest improvements being presented this year are the Listening Centers used in the Commercial Department, the Driving Simulator laboratory, and the Little Theater, center of many diversified activities
Lincoln High School will observe its one-hundredth year of community service in 1971. It is proudofits continuing singleness of purpose which is, has been, and al ways will be the highest development of individual talents and capacities of the youth it serves.
Alums returning to Lincoln High for the April 28 Open House will probably find the old alma mater quite different from the way they remember it in the dim and misty past known as "the good old days."
Since construction was completed on the four-story main block of Lincoln High School in 1947, two major additions and countless minor improvements have been added to complement the original facilities.
FIRST ADDITION
In 1928, the one-and twostory sections, containing classrooms, shops, and the original cafeteria, were added t o the south side of the main three-story plant at a cost of $300,000.

MAY~MEETINGDIRECTED TOPARENTSOFSENIORS
A special meeting of parents of seniors on May 4 at 7:30 in the auditorium will concern the explanation of changes made in the graduation procedures.
The second major addition, the Lincoln Public Schools Activities Building, now known as Johnson Gym, was completed in 1956. It houses two gyms, locker and shower facilities, and a swimming pool equal in dimensions to the pool at the University of Nebraska.
Improvements have been aimed, throughout the years , toward continuing modernization and efficiency. As the school continues to grow through construction and improvements, its educational capacity increases in direct proportion.
In the spring of 1964, a modernization program resulting from the $12 million school bond allocation began full steam. Included in the renovation was the enlargement of the cafeteria with a new "scramble" food serving system; construction of a Little Theater / Lecture Hall (where grads will remember the old swimming pool); updating the Home Economics classrooms; and renovation of the auditorium stage.
"Minor" improvements are a new bell system, a new clock system, new doorknobs, and a new garage door for the auto shop.
The latest project has been the rewiring of the school's lighting system.
LOUNGEIMPROVEMENTS
In addition to these improvements, the Student Council provided for the retiling of the concession area of the Student Lounge and the installation of 17 modern booths. The Student Lounge, financed with funds raised by the Student Council, was constructed in 1957 in what alums may remember as the girls gym.
Somewhat unique to Lincoln High is the Little Theater. Used for one-act plays, concerts and other special programs, the Little Theater also provides much-needed room for daily lecture class es and study halls.

The old athletic office on second floor (with the stairs removed that once connected it to the boys gym) has become the composing room for The Advocate.
MODERNCONTROLS
Renovations in the auditorium in c lude refacing of the stage, new stage curtains and window drapes , and two new balcony control booths, one for lighting and one for sound to replace the former chaos of back-stage controls.
Recessed ceiling lights have replaced foot lights on the stage. Another addition to the auditorium is the plug-in spotlights which replace cumbersome balcony spotlights formerly attached to rails along the balcony edge. Modern geo-acoustical patterns now improve acoustics in the aud i torium.
Today the auditorium, used as a study hall, is equipped with specially built chair-desk seats on the main floor. Room 226, the study hall of yesteryear , is partitioned into two rooms, one a guidance class, the other a general-purpose room.
Returning alums entering the main entrance will find to the left of the auditorium doorway a beautiful mosaic mural depicting Lincoln's outstanding public buildings. The mural, an art class project, was completed in May , 1964
Compiled by members of The Adv ocat e staff, April, 1965; Mrs. RuthE. Gartner, advisor.
Every classroom is now equipped with a self correcting IBM clock. Correcting itself every 15 minutes, each clock is set with the Western Union master clock. All clocks have buzzers .
A major construction project was the electrical rewiring of the entire school building
Counselors each have individual offices in Room 208 in which to confer with students f or program and activity planning.
LANGUAGELABFORALM
Another recent addition to improve Lincoln High' s foreign language department is the language lab. The lab is used in connection with the ALM(Audio Lingual Materials) now used in foreign language classes.
The physical plant of Lincoln High School has changed three times, on each occasion to accomodate new trends and increased enrollment. At Lincoln High the old blends with the new to give each sucessive generation a taste of all elements essential to education.
