1965 All School Play

Fun, Drama Combine In 'Peace Corps Girls'

Can there be harmony when six people of widely divergent backgrounds and inter~sts meet to train for Peace Corps duty'?

In "The Peace Corps Girls," 1,965 All-school Play selectirn, playwright David Rogers fits comedy and pathos int a the timely scene of young people entering the real world for the first time

Cana would-be sophisticate from a "progressive school," a Bronx Puritan, and a congressman's daughter be blended with a science teacher, a mechanics instructor, and a Phys. Ed. teacher from the south to form a dedicated team prepared for duty in the Philippines'?

PROBLEMSARISE

The volunteers meeting at the University of Pennsylvania for overseas trainin~soon discover that wanting to go is one of the lesser problems to be overcome.

As "school" opens all feel the load of Philippine and American history courses while some---particularly the PE teacher from the south find mastery of the Philippine language difficult.

The first hectic weeks of classes are further complicated by the visit of Congressman Parkhirst, father of Peace Corps girl Jill Parkhirst. Since the congressman has opposed the whole Peace Corps concept from the start, he is the first real resistance to their idea.

NEWPROBLEMS

Whenthe new volunteers arrive in the Philippines they

again meet opposition of a different kind. This time they are resented by local Philippine teachers.

Although trained to meet "every situation"the six soon find that their "duties" turn out to be quite different from what they had expected

Join the Peace Corps Girls as they train for duty in the far-off Philippines. Share with them the unexpected reception they recieve when they arrive.

The play will be presented in the Lincoln High auditorium October 27. 1965wi th curtain time at 8:00 p. m.

Career Possibilities

An opportunity for senior boys to apply for the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC)is being made available according to information received by Mr. William Bogar, principal.

Those selected after qualifying for the program through the Navy College Aptitude Test; may become career officers of the Navy and Marine Corps through the completion of baccalaureate degree requirements and Naval Science training at one of the NROTC colleges or universities. This Navy-subsidized pregram provides tuition, books, and educational expenses plus $50 per month for not more than four years. Applications must be received by the Educational Testing service, Princeton, New Jersey, by November 19; the qualifying exam will be administered December 11.

These were the canments of the National Scholastic Press Association judge whoawarded the Lincoln High School 1965 Links an All American rating.

This superior rating is awarded to only top publications.

Mare than L 000 yearbooks from high schools all over the nation were judged by the NSPA.

Yearbooks are scored in such categories as planning of the book , photography, organizations and activities , and display.

The Links scored excellent ratings in most of these divisions , with a combined score of 7270 points.

This is the first All American rating awarded The Links since 1952. Two other All American awards, -0ne in 1951, the other in 1949, have been earned.

Nebraska's fifth annual Governor's Youth Safety Crnference was held at the Nebraska Center for Continuing Education, September 25. The purpose of this organization is to promote safety in Nebraska by providing the delegates from schools throughout the state with Practical information on programs which can bP orga nized for accident prevention and control. Featured speakers were Governor Frank Morrison, the National Student Safety Association president , and other prominent safety leaders.

Lincoln High's delegation included April Crossgrove, sophomore; Don Mohlman, Bill Strain, and Valdeen Smith, juniors·; and Christie Schwartzkopf, senior.

Christie, who served last year as a member of the Youth Executive Committee, comments that the conference is "really a step forward in promoting among youth a safety program for all Nebraskans to enjoy. "

The five Lincoln High seniors pictured above have recently been informed that they have earned semi-finalist ratings in the National Merit Tests administered during their junior year. From left to right they are Dave Beckmann, Alison Leitch, Carl Schneider (seated), Holly Rosenbe,rger, and Iota Jozeps, To qualify for the rating of merit finalist, each will be required to take college board examinations to be,given in December.

The Fortunate Ones

Never before have the opportunities in education been so great, nor has society placed such emphasis on the demand for education. Since 1958 the Federal government has passed more legislation for education than has ever been enacted priortothis time.

Yet with all this attention, many Nebraska communities operate mediocre schools with mini mumqualified staffs, limited programs, and inadequate facilities. They are plagued oy constant changing of administration and turnover of faculty thus preventing any continuity of program or development of long-range goals.

Fortunately for the young people of Lincoln, these shortcomings are practically nonexistent. Students at Lincoln High are particularly fortunate because of the educational opportunities offered here.

Having visited practically every high school in the state, it is not difficult to rank Lincoln High as one of the best.

After having been gone from the staff for the past four years, it is encouraging to return and see a 11 the changes and improvements that have taken place. Lincoln High has in the past and will continue in the future to educate all the children of all the people. Personally, it is a privilege to be a part of this educational process.

Spain, Ethiopia Brings Spice To Link World

Ernnet Araya of Ethiopia and RamonCastillejo of Spain are Lincoln High School's American Field Service exchange students for 1965-66. Ernnet left her home town of Addis Abbaba on July 23, 1957, and arrived at her destination, Lincoln, Nebraska, August 13, 1965!

CALENDARSVARY

Actually, it didn' t take her eight years to cross the Atlantic. It seems that there is a slight variation in the Ethiopian and American calendars.

11The variation is only a different way of figuring time since the birth of Christ," Ernnet explains. The Ethiopian time sequence is based on information handed downby the Coptic Christians whereas the American version is based on the calculations of the RomanChristians.

Another difference in the two calendars is the length of the months. In Ethiopia, each month has 30 days which results in five "extra" days at the end of each year. This interval which falls between August 30 and September 1 is often referred to as the "thirteenth month" or by a specific designation which, Ernnet says, is impossible to translate into English.

Ernnets' sown family of parents, four brothers and one sister celebrated New Year's 1958 on September 1 ( 1965 by American reckoning).

The Corwin Moores, 2210 Sheridan, is her American family. Ernnet, who has al ways wished she had more sisters, now has three. Sally Moore is a junior at Lincoln High.

HEARDGOODREPORTS

Before corning to the United States Ernnet had heard that Americans were a friendly, cooperative people and she says she has found this to be true. She likes Lincoln High, particularly the excitement of football games and being a Pepper.

Lincoln High is quite different from her home school of 150 students. 11In this missionary school we cannot choose what we want to take as we may at Lincoln High," says Ernnet. 11The curriculum includes algebra, biology, chemistry, history, geometry, physics, and English."

Ernnet now studies physiology, American History, clothing and textiles, and Senior Composition. She is a member of Student Council and choir. At home, Einnet and her family sing in the choir

"Make the most of your high school days because they' 11 be over much quicker than you realize. Have a good time, but take your studies seriously." This advice to underclassmen comes froot Thumbnailer Janet Boatman.

Janet likes "the friendly people and atmosphere of Lincoln High which makes you feel wanted and eager to learn." Her activities include Links typist, Pepper Squad leader, Mummers, Red Cross Council, and church choir.

Janet's favorite subjects are English, history, choir and shorthand. She spends most of her "spare time" eating and "messing around" with other LHS fans.

Forgetting her cheer when trying out for Cheerleader rates as Janet's most embarrassing experience.

Janet, who is in the Arts and Sciences Curriculum, plans to attend the University of Nebraska or the Wesleyan School of Dental Hygiene next year. Her senior goal is to be on Honor Roll both semesters.

in the Lutheran church they attend. She plans to continue her education at a university in Ethiopia. Although outside influences are changing customs in Ethiopian cities, Ernnet notes that the social life in Arneri ca is quite different. In her country, girls and boys are free to socialize until they reach age 15. After that, all "dating" must be chaperoned.

RAMONIMPRESSEDBY 'BIGNESS' Ramon Castillejo, whocomes from Granada, Spain, finds America a "big country," with both differences and sirnilari ties in the life and customs. However, there is quite a difference in his two families. In Granada, he has no. brothers or sisters; here, he enjoys the Roger Ghormley family, 2115 So. 24, which includes not only the parents but four girls and one boy. Phyllis, a senior, and Marylin, a junior, attend Lincoln High.

LIKES TIMESCHEDULE

Having girls in his classes is a new experience for Ramon. In the non-coed Granada school required subjects included sociology, literature, chemistry, philosophy, French, History of Spain, biology, physics, and math.

He is now studying American History, trigonometry, physics, Spanish, and Senior Cornposition. Ramon is also a member of Student Council.

He expecially likes going to school from 8:00 to 2:30. He is used to going to school from 9:30 to 1:00 and again from 3:30 to 7:00!

His future plans include studying engineering at the University of Madrid. He is also interested in aeronautics and telecommunication.

"Granada is about the same size -as Lincoln but it has much more history," Rarnon1 observes. "Also the social customs are quite different."

"In Spain, dating is not permitted except in large groups or with a chaperone. Most socializing is done on free afternoons rather than in the evening. This may be because the evening meal begins at 9:00 and lasts about two hours!"

* * * *

Both Ernnet and Ramon declare they are enjoying their new and different experiences and like "being Americans. "

"It's no big deal." This expression may be heard corning ftom our next Thumbnailer Jack Galusha, sometimes called Jackson.

Jack, whose favorite pastime is sports, lists "playing in the state baseball tournament for Lincoln High" as his most memorable experience. Besides Varsity baseball and football, he includes intramurals in his extracurricular activities.

Study hall, health ed., and math are his favorite subjects. He likes "the fine teaching staff at LHS" best about Lincoln high. His hobbies include hunting and fishing.

Jack's future includes attending Teachers College where he will major in physical education and then go into coaching.

Jack hopes the 1965 football team will have a lot of backing from the student body. *

Judy Diekmann, or "Jude" (given to her by an old friend), thinks everyoneshould love Lincoln High.

Judy likes "the football team that is going to win all season" best about Lincoln High.

Drawing and painting are her favorite subjects and her extracurricular activities are Peppers and Art Club. Judy is in the Arts and Sciences curriculum and plans to attend the University of Nebraska next year.

"Walking into the wrong class in my senior year" is remembered as her most embarrassing experience. Her pet peeve is senior boys.

Judy's senior goal is to make National Honor Society.

* * * *

"Let's go Links!" urges Thumbnailer Riley Webb, sometimes called Emmett.

Riley likes the kids and teachers best about Lincoln High. "I think we have a swell group of kids and the best teachers around." Economics and chemistry are his favorite subjects.

"Just goofing and messing around" is Riley's favorite pastime. The time he fell into a trash can at a Pius X dance rates as his most embarrassing experience. Although his pet peeve is people who mock him, he enjoys ••trying to figure out and understand people."

Riley' s senior goa 1 is to '"tnake the honor roll and be accepted into college." He is in the Engineering curriculum and plans - to attend the University of south, Carolina after graduating.

New Administrator Finds Opportunity Abundant at LHS

"Lincoln High is one of the very best schools with which I have been associated; one with which I am privileged to be a part."

These are the words of Lincoln High' s newest administrator, Mr. Eldon Heskett, assistant principal in charge of instruction.

* * DORIS RECALLS DENMARK

"Around the World" might well become the theme of Doris Adams' life as she recalls her summer as an AFS Student in Copenhagen, Denmark.

"Now that I've been in Denmark I'd 1 ike to 1 ook around a little and see more of the world , " she canments. "unbelievably per- DORIS fect is my two-word summary of the whole experience."

EARLYMISGIVINGS

Comparing her thoughts now with those she had when preparing for the trek to Denmark last spring, Doris remembers how she felt everything would somehow be difficult. "Then I was worrying about the strange land, the new people, and the language barrier," she remembers "Almost from the time I arrived all my preconceived notions seemed to melt away.

"One big problem was solved when I discovered that all the members of my Danish 'family' spoke English. After I'd been in Denmark awhile I began t~ pick up enough Danish words to get along when I went into stores and for the week I went to school with my Danish 'sister.'"

OWNSCHOOLBEST

After sampling school Danish style , Doris says she still prefers Lincoln High. "There was no social life as we think of it! In Danish schools there is no inter-school competition in sports like we have," she explains.

One parallel between American and Danish schools, according to Doris, is organized dancing. "Every month the Student council in the Danish school sponsors a 'Keen Time' a la Denmark. This is the only real social activity and teenagers flock to these dances."

FIRST IMPRESSIONSUNRELIABLE

One important thing Doris feels she learned from her two months in Denmark is that people can't be judged by first appearances. "The first day I went to school with my Danish sister the Danish kids seemed reserved. I soon found that each person at school was an individual and had to be met as an individual.

"This experience has given me a broader outlook on the world and the people in it. After a fairyland summer in Denmark, I nowreally want to look 'Around the World.'"

State Director

Mr. Heskett formerly taught guidance at Lincoln High for five years , but for the last four years he has been State Director of Guidance Services. In this position he had the o wort unity to visit most of the high schools in Nebraska and to examine the structu~e of these schools to find out exactly what it takes to make a really fine school.

Mr. Heskett declares, "Lincoln High rates highly because it has a good and varied program with opportunities in all fields of learning, a well qualified faculty with I ittle turnover, an excel lent administration both at Linroln High and on a city-wide basis, and adequate'physic~I and educational facilities in all branches of the school. In general, Lincoln High is well designed to educate all the children of all the people."

MANYSTUDENTOPPORTUNITIES

Mr. Heskett feels that some students fail to realize the many fine dpportunities that Lincoln High does offer and that they should take a bigger role in their classes and extracurricular activities

"This generation of teenagers is the greatest group of teens this country has ever seen. Many adults don't seem to recognize and give full credit to the talents of teenagers," l\t'r. Heskett says.

"Over-publicity and attention is given to the small percentage of teens whocreate community problems. This gives all teenagers a bad name. Not enough is heard of the many fine accomplishments of the great majority of teens.

"The teens of today have more advanced opportunity, experiences, and are more mature,than the teens of any other generation "

VARIEDRESPONSIBILITIES

At Lincoln High, Mr. Heskett is in charge of the development of curriculum, implementation of new progra,ms, and the development of the faculty to meet the needs of the students.

Assisting Mr. Heskett is Mr. Cecil Leonard, an administrative intern from Des Moines, on leave to find out what it takes "to make a really fine school run."

Mr. Heskett has three fulltime clerical personnel working with him in Roan 201.

New School Year Reveals Changes

If you've found yourself walking into Room 201 to go to a guidance class and suddenly discovered yourself in the middle of an office, then you have noticed one of the changes in Lincoln High this year Room 201 has been converted to an office.

lntramurals

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 HAFEMEISTER has developed to the point where it has become an intregal part of the athletic program at LHS.

During the first years, the intramural program primarily included individual competition but today it also includes team competition.

The intramural program is on a nine-months basis; the total number of participants in the program runs into the thousands each year.

The motto of the intramural program is, 11A Boy for Every Sport, and a Sport for Every Boy, 11

This fall, swimming, wrestling, gymnastics, basketball, table tennis, volleyball, and body conditioning are included in the intramural athletic program, Director Neal Hafemeister said.

Pre-season tournaments in swimming, basketball, and wrestling will be held the week of November 8-12.

1he first nine holes of an interschool golf to~rnament with Lincoln Northe 'ast and Southeast were played September 27, with the remaining nine holes to be played tonight. This tournament is an 18-hole competition with medals awarded for the best game. *

Flag football began September 22 and team competition will continue until October 22. A round robin tournament, with Junior-Senior and Sophomore divisions, with Northeast and Southeast is plann e d October 25, 26, and 27

The Lincoln High tennis tournament continues to be held with matches September 30 and October 1. The winner, runner-up, and one doubles team will meet Northeast and Southeast in a tournament October 4, 6, and 7.

Links Take First

After Three Games

It took ten railroad cars to carry an estimated 650 enthusiastic football fans to Omaha's Rosenblatt Stadium, Thursday night, where Lincoln High defeated Omaha Bishop Ryan, 7-6.

Charley King, Jim Riggins, and Jack Galusha took turns carrying the ball to score for the Links with 4:42 to play in the first quarter.

Mike Delaney provided the Links with their eventual winning lead when he kicked the extra point.

The Lincoln High defense shone throughout the evening as the Links, led by Steve Hanneman, Vincent Victoria, and Steve David, held the Knights to only 70 yards rushing.

Bishop.Ryan scored midway in the second quarter when the Knights' halfback, Jim Etter, caught a 45-yard pass deep in Lincoln High territory and ran for the touchdown.

Psychology Important Loehr Stresses Effort

The main concern at the moment for Lincoln High's new coach, Andy Loehr, is preparing his squad for the Friday game with Lincoln Northeast. He is concentrating on the psychological aspects of the game.

"We' 11 be making a 100 per cent team effort to win when we meet Northeast this week. The traditional cross-town rivalry and Northeast's high rating make Friday's game a milestone in this season's play. II INDIVIDUALIMPORTANT

Coach Loehr feels that the success or failure of a team "depends mainly upon the effort of individual players and how they function as a team.

"There have been no actual standouts on this year's LI NKSTROUNCECENTRAL26-0

HASTING'SGAME A STANDOFF

Lincoln H: tied its second game of Lhe season, 7-7, at the Hastings meet played on Hastings' hane field.

Jim Riggins was again the principal ball carrier and scored the Links only touchdown early in the second quarter~

The Links used mainly a ground offense, passing only three times. All three tries were deflected by Hastings. Loehr's squad again seemed to be having trouble holding onto the ball as they fumbled four times, recovering twice.

The Lincoln High football team, in a 26-0 victory over Omaha Central, undoubtedly made new coach Andy Loehr's debut a happy one.

With Charley King, Jim Riggins, and Dave Will all making touchdowns, the Links rushed a total of 211 yards, while a rugged Lincoln High defense held Central's rushing yardage to 89.

The most spectacular play of the evening occurred when Jim Riggins picked up an Eagle fumble and sprinted 92 yards to score for the Links.

Proving, however, that Central wasn't the only team dropping the ball, the Links lost five fumbles.

"Even football takes paperwork!" Coach Loehr plans plays.

team thus far; what we have accomplished, we've accomplished as a team. Whenwe've failed, it's been because someone wasn't doing his job, 11 Loehr commented.

Loehr, who has been coaching for over nine years, says that to be a successful player, desire is more important than natural ability.

FOOTBALLMEANSWORK

"Playing football is 90 per cent willingness and desire to work. The most important attributes of a football player are a desire to excel and pride in contributing to the team effort. 11

Loehr thinks that a great deal is to be gained from participation in athletics.

"Whether one is an insurance salesman or works in a grocery store, his whole world and his success in that world is based largely upon his ability to compete with others. This competition is much the same as the competition in high school athletics. 11

FOOTBALL CHEERLEADERSNEW TO VISITING FRENCH STUDENT

"It was the funniest thing I've ever seen, especially the girls jumping around in front." This is a French student's first impression of a Lincoln High football game.

The student is Helene Monnier, who is studying at Lincoln High for a year.

Hel~ne is staying at the home of Professor and Mrs. Raymond Dein, who are good friends of her parents. Mrs. Dein invited Helene to come to the United States.

Hel~ne, who is 20, is taking Senior Composition, French, American History, Junior Composition, and Guidance, and is studying English 21 at the University of Nebraska.

In France she attends the University of Monpelier, where she is in her second year.

"The educational system. in France is almost impossible " 11At to explain, she says. the school I am attending, after one year of preparation, you take a very hard test to see if you go on to the next year. If you flunk: riou take the year over again.

Two other differences Helene has noticed are the food and the dating customs. she feels that American food is Pworse" but the dating customs better.

"In France the girls are not as free to date as they are here." she explains.

"A French girl does most dating in a large grou~ (or secretly) until she is engaged, which is usually around 20."

Although she especially likes the atmosphere at Lincoln High, she feels that everyone is too hurried and there is no time to talk.

At home in Ntmes, France, Helene has one brother and one sister.

Economics Classes Now Stockholders

The Lincoln High Economics classes have purchased five shares of McDonnell Aircraft stock at a cost of about $250.

A combined pooling of funds of the four classes in economics covered the purchase price.

When the stock is sold in January, it is hoped to yield a handsome profit.

Last year the International Club of Lincoln High School began sponsorship of 7-year-old Minas Furnuzian, a needy Armenian child living in Beirut, Lebanon. As one of its first projects for the new school year, the club has decided to continue the sponsorship which helps provide for Minas' aducation as well as other needs.

The "adoption" was arranged through Children, Inc., a nonprofit organization formed many years ago to aid the children of displaced persons throughout the world.

The foll owing is one -of the first letters received from Minas. It was written for him by his teacher at the Guertmenian School.

"My Dear Sponsors,

"It was a great surprise to see my picture in the newspaper, The Advocate (June 2, 1965). Thank you very much, of course, I' 11 keep it.

"How nice is your high school building ... a thousand times more beautiful and bigger than ours. I am sorry to tell that myschool building is very old and poor, especially the kindergarten section with broken windows and curved walls. In winter, rain comes from every part.. Our head teacher is afraid that one day the roof wil I fall down. We have two small classrooms and a bigger hall, both used for chapel services and as study rooms. The desks 1and tables are old enough. Also, in one corner we have a poor piano. There is a small yard, used as a playground.

"I have a brother called Raffi. He is five years old.

He is called by the name of a great Armenian writer. Ani, my sister, is three years old. They both attend the same school. The youngest one is one year old, a lovely sister. I like her very much. She looks like a doll.

"... I practice the Arabic language, because it is quite difficult, and here it is the most obligatory language.

PARENTSTHANKFUL

"Myparents. are grateful towards you. Dear Sponsors, thank you for your gift. I' 11 use it in the best way. I am very glad and thankful for you are doing your best for my education, and I promise to be a clever boy.

Records: Musical Mirror of Changing Times, Devices.

"Have you ever hea1d a Caruso original?"

"sure I've got one of his albums."

Sorry, but although more than 100 million records are sold in the United States yearly, albums in Caruso's day were as unknown as cylinders and recording horns are today.

Yet all are a part of a continuing American musical heritage. The history of records is a mirror of American musical life.

From Edison's first cylinder record of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" to the latest

stereo discs, the record industry has kept pace with and often molded American musical tastes.

"Records are the marriage of art and science," says General David Sarnoff of RCA Victor.

MUSICALMIRROR

Early records presented chiefly classical music performed by the greatest opera and concert stars of the day.

In the 1930's and 1940's America's musical tastes switched from classical music to popular tunes recorded by

the numerous dance bands of the era.

CLASSICSPOPULAR

The introduction of the 45 rpm (revolutions per minute) records in 1949 brought the first popularization of the classical tunes that lhad originally appeared as 78 rpms years before.

Before the advent of the 78's, cylinder records which were much the same size and shape of wax paper rolls were recorded with recording horns like those now familiar on RCAVictor record labels.

A needle attached to the recording horn made vertical grooves on the tinfoil cylinders. These grooves corresponded with the vibrations of sound as they passed through a diaphragm at the base of the recording horn.

Later, wax cylinders which could be ground off and new records made on the same cylinder replaced the tinfoil.

The earliest . IJhonographs were equipped with a crank for turning the cylinders and instead of a speaker or horn had ear tubes to pick up the feeble sound produced.

ONE-SIDEDDISCS

Hard-rubber discs with laterally cut grooves replaced the cylinders in 1887. These early 78's allowed longer recordings than before.

Although recordings could be made on only one side of

the disc because of the thin material, the idea of making records captured the imaginations of the great stars of the theater: Great artists up to the time of Caruso's first disc in 1904 had hesitated to perform before the lal'ge recording horns.

The faraway sound of the early discs justified the misgivings of these artists. Besides the tremendous amount of sound that escaped the recording horns, the horns themselves were sometimes known to vibrate and produce unfavorable noises.

After Caruso's record debut, recording techniques seemed to improve as did box office attendance at the opera.

HORNSTO MICROPHONES

Single-faced 78' s were heard on phonographs equipped with a horn for projecting sound much like that used for recording. Later the sound box, a drumlike diaphragm contained in a cabinet below the turntable, replaced the horn to give better sound reproduction. These "modern" models of the 1920's included a spring which connected turntable and crank eliminating the constant cranking of earlier days. Now, one cranking kept the turntable revolving for two records at a time. The electric sound box relayed vibrations through a speaker which produced sound fran the record much as a drum produces reverberating

sound waves. Today's stereo is essentially two such sound boxes set opposite each other to increase the reverberation of waves produced.

PLASTICSARELATEST

The introduction of plastic for the making of records paved the way for the 33 rpm's and later for the 45's.

The 78 replaced the cylinder at the turn of the century to make longer recordings possible. The 45 replaced the 78 in 1957 because it made possible longer recordings with less material used. Today the 33 is popular because the slow speed allows many records of the three-to-five minute 78-type to be reproduced on a single disc.

An even newer 16 speed is now being widely used for recorded books and speeches. Because of its lo.wer number of rpm's th is new speed allows twice the amount of recorded material on less than half the surface area.

Records as we know them have undergone an evolution from the tin cylinder to the plastic disc and from the recording horn to the microphone.

Whenthe recording industry was challenged by radio and television it improved its product to meet that challenge so that today more than ever "records are a marriage of art and science."

OR-actcta Honeywell Selecto rgraphic and the trouble would have been known and isolated the minute after it started.

CHECKSEQUIPMENT

"Before this year, it was quite a task to check out each piece of electrical equipment in Lincoln High, for each one had to be examined individually, 11 explains Mr. Don Flanagan, head custodian at Lincoln High. 11By the time all the equipment such as the boilers, fans, ~ir filters, freezers, steam "'alves, miscellaneous pumps , and practically everything else electrical had been checked, it would be time to start over. This process consumed a tremendous number of man hours.

"However. thanks to the Honeywell Selectorgraphic, a sensitive, efficient, and quick machine installed during the summer , this checking time has been cut to a scant one minute and fifteen seconds!"

CONTROLS 97 UNITS

Toua.Y, tnere are 97 units connected to this machine, with many additions possible in the future. If one of these 97 units should malfunction, an alarm sounds in the master control board in Room Bl, the custodians' s office, lights flash on the control board to show which unit is acting up.

In the meantime, lights begin blinking in the small warning "boxes" near the ceiling in certain corridors of Lincoln High. These call attention to a malfunction which in turn alerts those responsible for maintenanc&. The master control board is checked, the trouble! pinpointed, and the faulty equipment is repaired.

DESIGNEDFORLHS

The Honeywell Selectorgraph"ic is a complex device; many miles of wire were used to build it. The machine designed specifically fo~ Lincoln Hign, can also start any piece of ele~trical equipment connected to it either oy time clock or manually. By use of a photo negative in the control board the machine checks out such things as whether or not the boilers are running, if the air filters are clean, and if the water filters are functioning properly.

If some unit is out of order the machine translates the problem and indicates the area by a number which corresponds to a code in a master blueprint.

In the words of Mr. Flanagan, "The Honeywell warning system is a great asset to the school because it gives much more accurate information on the operation of each unit connected to it, and saves many man hours of trouble shooting "

MASTERSWITCHBOARD

Also part of the school's electrical system is the master switch board which controls the light and power circuits. It is also located in room Bl.

lntramurals

A Sport for Every Boy

Intramurals are organized programs in supervised team, individual, or group physical activities in which youth within a school participate or compete voluntarily. A good program provides for individual needs, differences, and interests to help the participant find personal satisfaction and enjoyment.

A major role of intramurals is the development of wholesome attitudes regarding the value which physical activity has in modern living. The hurry -fast pace of 1 i ving requires a body "which knows its elf" and which can successfully meet the problems encountered in everyday living. The problems may be of a social or emotional nature, and the human body, a totally fit human body, is successfully adjusting with these problems as they arise.

Another role of intramurals is to teach people to u·se wisely and to enjoy fully the resources with which America is supplying him, such as playing fields, gymnasiums, and gal f courses.

Another role of intramurals is helping the student contribute to an increased appreciation and desire for the development and maintenance of organic fitness. Games can reinforce good moral and ethical conduct,. including sportsmanship, through cooperative and competitive interaction with his fellow students. Either through actual participation or through a leadership role, the student is in a dynamic setting for learning the attributes of self-discipline, self-respect, respect for others, and personal responsibility.

Another role is helping the student create within himself the skills and desire for present and future participation in recreational activities of his own choosing. Inherent in these programs are the satisfactions of movement, adventure, competition, and FUN.

LNE Hands Links First Defeat

Lincoln High, in its first home game of the season, was defeated by Lincoln Northeast 6-0.

The Links' loss came when Rocket back, Jim Ketterer, took a Lincoln High punt on his own 30-yard line and returned it 70 yards to score for Northeast with three minutes to play in the first quarter.

The score wasn't handed to the Rockets, however, as Link sprinting ace, Jim Riggins, chased Ketterer all the way, making the tackle on the goal line. A determined Lincoln High line

swarmed in and blocked Doug Campbell's kick tor the extra point.

For the game, the Links, who had been using a ground offense earlier in the season, changed tactics and took to the air, completing 7 of 21 passes. Seniors Reuben Worster and Steve Hanneman provided Lincoln High with the combination that credited it with 82 yards passing.

Charley King, Jim Riggins, and Dave Will took turns rushing with the ball for Lincoln High.

The outcome of the Lincoln High-Lincoln Southeast football game Friday night will determine whether or ~at the Links retain their lead in the traditional athletic rivalry that exists between the schools.

LINKSVICTORIOUS

Competition between the two schools began seven years ago. Lincoln High was victorious the first four years, winning each game by at least one touchdown.

Lincoln High School first met the Knights in the Oval in 1958, when 4500 enthusiastic fans looked on while the Links completely outclassed the oppon~nt, 52-0.

SOUTHEASTUNTRIED

In the first game, the untried Southeast offense was limited to seven yards-rush~ ing while a rugged Links squad chalked up 388 yards.

In the schools next three meets, the Links wooby scores of 12-6 in 1959; 13-0 in the 1960 Homecoming-City Championship game; and 6-0 in 1961.

In '62 the Knights rallied to defeat Lincoln High, 14-12. Since that time, the Links have fared rather poorly, losing by scores of 7-6 in 1963 and 13-12 in '64.

The Links were defeated in these games because of failure to score the points after touchdowns.

A sparkling Lincoln High offense and devastating defense stole the show Friday night as the Links walked over Grand Island, 34-0.

Six players scored. Dave Will, Jim Riggins, Reuben Worster, and Jack Galusha chalked up touchdowns. Loren Ubbenblocked an Islander punt in the end zone for a safety; Mike Delaney kicked two extra points.

The Link defense proved its worth, hulding the Islanders to only nine yards rushing, while the Lincoln High offense totaled 397

The Looking Glass

"This above all: to thine own self b~ true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man."

Hamlet I.ii i.82-8~

It is strange how remote human emotions are until we are 1iterally hit over the head with them---until we must associate them with someone or something close to us.

How many mistakes and problems could be avoided if we could only see in advance the results of action we are contemplating!

Sometimes when we see other teenagers acting out ,of-1 i ne at gamesor dances we tend to dismiss their ac~ tions as "eersonal problems," show- ing off," 'none of my business," or "rebellious teens."

Suppose, tor a moment, that sudden 1y a good friend emerges t romthis ~roup of "rebel! ious teens." Immediately the whole problem li your business because of your fee 1i ng for this one individual.

"Is it my respons i bi 1i ty? Whathave" I .failed to do as a friend thdt shou 1d have been done? What have ·I done that could have been done differently? These are the standards one must understand about himself befor~ he can begin to interpret the actions of others.

Take this idea to a broader level of human experience such as the school, or even the nation and the same questions can be asked.

As we growolderour responsibility changes and becomes broader while we as individuals are becoming deeper persons.

Responsibil ity?---lts root 1ies in the individual's concept of himself. lrresponsibil ity must be changed to responsibility on a person-to-person basis.

Once responsibility is understood on the persona 1 1eve 1 and can be. associated with something famil ia,, it can then grow to encompass al I touched by the hand of personal experience.

Soul Cakes, Wailing, Began Present-Day Halloween Traditions

Many little children are seen on October 31, dressed as goblins, witches, black cats, and demons, going from door to door shouting "trick or treat." This is a modern Halloween celebration, the development of many years of traditions of various peoples.

It was not always a fun-filled children's holiday as we ~now it. I~lloween, which originally fell on the eve of All Saints Day, was originated by Pope Boniface IV to celebrate and honor all saints, especially those who might not otherwise receive special homage.

Also, it celebrated the changing of the Panth eon (" all demons") into a Christian church in memoryof the Virgin Mary and all martyrs.

ORIGINALLYRELIGIOUS

Although the hallowed evening was originally a purely religious one, many of the old pagan festival rites still persist. Evertts such as the "black cat crossing your path" legend has religious significance.

The Druid priests added tales to the tradition, too! They believed that Saman, the Lord of Death, called together the souls of the wicked who had been imprisoned in animal bodies for the past 12 months, These tortured souls could spend a few hours at their homes at this time. The priests asked people to sing the wailing song of freedom to help the tortured dead. Bonfires were set everywhere to scare away evil spirits.

"SOUL CAKES"POPULAR

During the medieval pericd " " in England soul cakes were made Women would g c from door to door begging for these cakes, saying they would pray for the dead members of a donor's family. This is the background for the trick or treat of today.

The Irish found Halloween to be a time for pranks and fun. An unwary farmer might find his prize cow on the roof the day after the adventurous holiday. Naturally, everyone blamed the "little people" or elves.

A romantic tradition comes from Scotland. It was believed that if a maiden dampened the shirtsleeve of an old shirt and left it by the fireside, her future husband's vision woul~ appear to turn the sleeve away from the fire.

MUST IT

This is the sometimes looks cast whenthey a performance. just as soon

* * *

Today's holiday is a far cry from the grim celebration of ancient days, although, actually, whenchildren dress up as ghosts, wear false faces, make soap crosses ou cars, they are following ancient and classic religious beliefs and Druid practices.

Dorothy plans to attend the University of Nebraska and go into Elementary Education. She gives this advice to underclassmen: "Try your hardest in all you attempt and you will succeed even though you may fail at first."

"I was impressed by BobStepp at 1: 39 p.m." This is Dave Beckmann's favorite expression.

Dave enjoys "getting to know and like people with goals and backgrounds different from my own."

As pastimes, running, playing the piano, and playing chess with "Bus" are what he likes best. His extracurricular activities include the presidency of Student Council, the presidency of a county organization of church youth group, and Lincoln Boys Choir . The Telluride Association Summer Program that he attended at Princeton last summer rates as Dave'a most memorable experience.

Dave had his most embarrassing moments, "trying to explain the Homecoming ,icture in the Lincoln Journal."

Dave says his future plans will lead him to college then probably into the Christian ministry.

'Veteran' Tourist Visits Eight Foreign Countries

Do you know anyone who has been in eight different countries and whohas a speaking acquaintance with four different languages including English? No? You might, for such a person is Frank SI igar, a Lincoln High sophomore.

STATIONEDAT AIR BASE

From 1955-1959 Frank and his family were stationed at the American air force base in Slamain, Morocco Frank found the people of Morocco, a country located in North Africa, primarily of a primitive culture compared to American standards.

"People there live in adobetype houses, and use mules instead of mechanical equipment on their farms. Citie~ were run down and dirty, and the water very impure. This shows why we at the base had to import all of our food and supplies from the United States.

"However, Morocco has its fine points such as beautiful scenery, and some of the finest fruit grown anywhere in the world."

MANYTRIPS

Frank and his family also took trips to South Africa, Germany, Austria, Greece, Italy, and Turkey. During these trips, Frank became familiar with the French, German, and Arabic languages. In these countries. Frank saw· such sights as the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, St. Peter's church in Rome , the beautiful scenery of Germany and Austria and the foundations of history in Istanbul, Turkey.

Frank Sligar displays a piece of handmade African leather work.

Frank remarks, "The Moroccan people appear to be unfriendly towards Americans. Tl.is was due to two main reasons. They tlislike foreigners iu their country because they were trying, at that time, to become independent of the French They also disI iked American isolation from Moroccan services and products. The Americans were like an island in a sea of people entirely different from them."

DIFFERENTEDUCATIONALSYSTEM

Frank says, "Education in Morocco is different from that in the United States. I attended an American school at the base. I got a sound background in history because in a sense , I was in the middle of history."

Hello there!

Because the teachers will be "conventioning," we have a few delicious days of freedom--time to catch up on all the things our busy school days don't allow for. In addition to sleeping late, why not use the time to advantage and head for the PLACEat Miller's? We've unpacked a wonderful collection of date dresses so right for the coming holidays--even turkey dinner at Grandmother's house

Crepes and light-weight wools are always in style for dinner dates, holiday dances, and parties. Come early! We're beginning to wrap Christmas packages already and now is the time to pick out what you really want while the selection is good.

We hope you have a fun vacation and will be there to cheer our football team to victory over Bellevue Friday night!

Bye for now, Margy and Jeni

The air base was selfsufficient in its private world--for it had everything from schools to a private water supply However, there was plenty of contact with the "outside world."

On the whole, however, he fee 1 s that the educ at i on system in Nebraska is better than any other place he has been. "Lincoln High seems to have a much more advanced educational system. Teachers here seem to explain and present things so much better than anywhere else I have been~ In my opini_on, Lincoln High provides the best chances for a superb education."

Open Hearings Provide Forum For Students To 'Sound Off'

Do you want a voice in your school government? Do you have views and opinions you wish to express? Open Hearings under the sponsorship of the Student Council have been designed for this purpose.

The idea of Open Hearings was suggested to the Student Council by Jim Riggins last spring. On November 1 at 2: 30 and 3: 30 p. m. the first Open Hearings will be held in the Little Theater.

Representatives from the Student Council will in-

elude two members from each class plus a council officer. They will listen to all suggestions and problems presented and carry them back to the Student Council meeting where further discussion will follow.

We encourage all students who wish to voice their opinions, to take this opportunity to participate in student government. Remember, the purpcxse of the student Council is to represent the student body.

Links Cross-Country Team Wins Trophy Fifth Time

"The City Championship cross-country trophy has never left Lincoln High since it was first awarded in 1960."

These are the words of Coach Harold Scott as Lincoln High captures the city cross country championship for the fifth consecutive year.

"City competition actually began in 1958 with Lincoln High winning the first title. Northeast won the crown in 1959, but the actual trophy has been awarded only since 1960; the Links have won the

title every year since that time.

Coach Scott, who organ1zeu cross country at Lincoln High in 1953, was left wondering "what happened" after graduation last spring Four of his five-man team graduated, leaving him with only one letterman, Mike Knaub, upon which to build his 1965 team.

Southeast placed runners first and second, while Links Mike Grass, Paul Duskin,and Mike Knaub finished third, fourth, and fifth. Jim Shaw, Lincoln High, finished ninth:

HANNfil\lAN

In the Business Administration Curriculum, Steve Hanneman is a member of the L Club, was a Home RoomRepresentative, and lettered in football, basketball, and track.

His favorite pastimes besides athletics, are hunting and watching television.

Steve's pet peeve is "the guys in the locker room making fun of my size 14 feet."

Guarding an opponent while Steve's team had possesion of the ball, in the basketball game against Omaha Central, last season, wasSteve's most embarrassing experience.

The sport of basketball also gave him his most memorable experience, which was helping to defeat number-one ranked Creighton Prep last year.

Steve likes the coaches and the great athletic record Lincoln High has amassed over the years.

WORSTER

Reuben Worster, in the Engineering curriculum, has participated in Varsity and Reserve football and Reserve basketball.

Reuben, interviewed before the Lincoln Sou th east game, said his most memorable experience would come when he scored against Southeast.

His favorite sport is football because he enjoys the experience of playing with the Links, and also the physsical contact of the sport.

Participation in sports has taught Reuben "the value of cooperation, the importance of accepting responsibility, and initiative." He also cited meeting people and making new friends in athletic participation as things he particularly enjoyed.

After graduation, Reuben plans to attend the Uni versity of Nebraska.

Friday night Lincoln High defeated Lincoln Southeast, 12-6, thus breaking a three year losing streak in intracity competition.

Team effort paid off for the Links as there was no outstanding individual action. Jim Riggins, Charley King, and Jack Galusha were

R. Worster Tagged Player of the Week

Reuben Worster was chosen "Player of the Week" by the Lincoln Evening Journal for his contribution in the Lincoln High-Lincoln Southeast football game.

In the game, quarterback Worster completed seven of nine passes for a total of IM-yards. In addition to his passing, he scored the first touchdown for the Links with a five-yard run.

Remember?

Harold Scott, track coach, was sports editor of The Advocate in 1935.

lntramurals

Interschool competition with Lincoln Northeast and Lincoln Southeast is planned at the

the principal ball carriers for Lincoln High. The passing prowess of Reuben Worster proved valuable as the Links tallied 104 yards in the air.

Riggins and Worster shared scoring honors, Worster with a five-yard run, midway in the first quarter and Riggins with a 35-yard dish early in the second quarter.

The Centennial and You!

Mr Ed Sykes Nebraska Centennial commission

The Centennial and You!

Nebraska's going to be 100 years old i~ 1967. This commemoration of statehood means many things to many people, but to you, the high school student, it can and should mean more than to any other age group in the entire state of Nebraska.

If you look at the Centennial as just a birthday party, you're going to receive the same benefits as you would get from any birthday party. If you acquaint yourself with the objectives that the Nebraska Centenn i a 1 Commission hopes to attain through this commemoration, and then do everything possible as a Nebraskan to assist your schoo 1, city, county, and state to accomp1i sh the program, then you will reap the benefits of entering your adult 1 ife in a state with potential and future second to none.

The Centennial will involve all Nebraskans. You will be able to help through your school organizations, and as an individual. The Lancaster County Centennial Committee needs all youth of Lincoln to assist in Nebraska's more serious approach to the observance of 100 years of Statehood.

Today's students are most certain I y tomorrow's leaders. Through the emphasis of the Centennial, and the target date of 1967, you, as students, can assist in the building of a better Nebraska for ourselves and our children. Just as the pioneers of 1867 carved Nebraska from the native sod, you, as pioneers of 1967, have the opportunity to lead the program for tne pioneering to be done in Nebraska's second 100 years.

'What Is It' Puzzles Secret Agent 00-uh-oh

As the eerie early morning sunlight slanted through the windows of her classroom, Mrs. Eloise Holbrook peered at the suspicious-looking form lurking in the open closet.

Advocate staff members Jim Young and Mary Lundholmpuzzle over the newly acquired What's It?

The strange object stood ominously in a dark corner of the cubicle. About four feet high, the "thing" appeared to be two flat triangular pieces attached to a long wooden rod. "what," she wondered, "is its purpose? In fact, what is it?"

Saddle Shoes, Fun Footwear Fad Returns

There was a financial panic in 1893; a Wall Street crash in 1929; Haley's Comet appeared in 1910, and astronomers say it will reappear in 1986.

OBJECTIVESOFTHECENTENNIAL:

I. To develop the appreciation by Nebraskans of the natural, cultural, spiritual, and material resources of the State of Nebraska.

2. To develop programs and projects which will be of lasting value to the State of Nebraska during its second 100 years.

3. To involve all Nebraskans from every section of the state in preparing and presenting the many phases of the Centennial celebra- tion.

~. To stage a celebration of such magnitude as to attract the I argest number of persons possible to the state and to its many recreational areas.

5. To present to the nation and world Nebraska's economic potential.

The Advocate is issued by the students of Lincoln High School bi-weekly during the school year except immediately following vacations. It is issued without cost to every Lincoln High student. Advertising rates are $1 per column inch.

Second-class postage is paid at Lincoln Nebraska.

On the surface it see~s innocent enough, but in this age of spies, super spies, counter spies, and anti-spy spies, one can never be too sure. Is it some diabolical device planted by an unethical foreign school bent on sabotage? Is the formula for the Links' winning football team hidden somewhere inside? Or has the Soviet Union in its thirst for consumer goods (Yes, Mr. Beechner, we have been listening!) finally resorted to secreting stolen paper clips and Student Council pencils inside such objects and smuggling them behind the Curtain?

Finding no answers to these puzzling questions, Mrs. Holbrook realized this was a case for The Advocate' s Agent 00-uh-oh.

CONCLUSIONSSTARTLING

Secret Agent 00-uh-oh and his staff of highlytrained (?) intelligence(?) experts drew the following divers and startling conclusions:

"It's a high hurdle for low people," said Jim Young, sportingly.

"It's a tight rope for people afraid of heights," Mary Lundholm suggested timidly.

Just horsing around, Patsy Cleveland joked, "It's a hitching post for pigmy ponies!"

"A barbell fo,r weaklings!" decided Mr. Biill Pfeiff robustly.

Even now, history is repeating itself in the world of fashion. In 1939, saddle shoes were in vogue among Lincoln High girls. Today, a quarter century (26 years to be exact) later, saddle shoes are again high style, this time among boys as well as girls.

More and more girls have been agreeing on fashions that are "in." Bell bottom pants, long hair, shoes without socks, and now saddle shoes are current favorites.

PARENTSAPPROVED

Pa.rents who bewailed the bare feet and sandals which gave no support to "growing feet" should welcomethis fad with open arms. Besides, the saddle shoes will wear like combat boots!

100 REASONS

Any saddle shoe enthusiast can give a hundred reasons for his love of this duo-color foot gear.

1. A football will travel a mile after meeting the solid toe of a saddle shoe.

2. They are comfortable• There' s no foot fatigue among the saddle-shod.

3. Girls like the fact that good old comfortable and less expensive bobby sox can replace nylon~. 4-100. They're new and "in."

For 26 years saddle shoes were forgotten, scorned, laughed at, and loathed. However, teens love them now. Watch out, 1991, that's when saddle shoes should swing around in their orbit and be "in" again.

I Thumbnailer Cheri McCullough likes "the friendly atmosphere and the 1reat respect everyone has for our school best about Lincoln High.

Cheri's most memorable experience was making cheerleader. Whennot cheerleading she spends her time dancing and just "messing around."

After graduation Cheri plans to go to the University of Utah to further her dancing education. Her senior goal is to "makehonor roll both semesters, and to get a solo part in Joy Night."

Cheri gives this advice to underclassmen, "Have fun in high school, but don't let your fun overtake your studies."

* * * *

"Let's go and shoot it up awhile" can be heard coming from Thumbnailer King Little, also known as "Charlie Brown."

King lists student Council, swimmingteam, tennis team, L Club, Teenage Project, Lincoln Youth Board, and Chess Club as his extracurricular activities. He likes "everything other schools don' t have" best about Lincoln High."

In his spare time King likes to watch TV (I Spy). "Being a member of the swimming team which beat Lincoln Southeast when I was a sophomore" rates as King's most memorable experience. His senior goal is to "help the swimming team improve its record over last year."

* * * *

"Lincoln High .is a wonderful school, but lots of kids don't realize just how wonderful it is until their senior year. Be smart and make the most of the present by gettinff good grades and takingpart in activities. This advice to underclassmen comes from Thumbnailer Peggy Fraley.

Being a cheerleader and president of Aqualinks are Peggy's extracurricular activities. She likes "the friendly kids and the marvelous opportunity for everyone to take part in school activities" best about Lincoln High.

"It's an unfinished masterpiece!" exclaimed Mrs. Maxine Faust dramatically.

"It's an incomplete model of a cheerleader doing splits! " declared Linda Johnson democratically.

PLEAFORHELP

"Doesn't anyone have any better ideas?" pleaded the agent. The experts crowded in for a closer scrutinx of the rickety wooden object.

·'I've got it!" announced Fred Schmidt proudly. "It represents the wobbly ground on which we often stand when facing the tremendous decisions of today!"

"No, no! You've got it all wrong!" shouted Doug Lawson. "This object represents the eternal triangle and the vicious triangle which are joined by the life line in order to form two triangular pieces of wood connected by a long piece of pine." 4\1haat?)

A groan went up from the throng of intellectuals, returning pensively to their examination of the "thing."

999 MARTIANSPECIAL?

John Cariotto, a deep believer in the possibility of life on Mars, suggested, "It's the wheels and axle from a car from outer space!"

Linda Jacobson countered, "It was made for people to ask questions about," and Charlie Garrett called it "Nothing!"

It may well be any of these things, but today the search continues hoIEfully toward a fuller understanding of the unknown.

Her favorite pastimes are "bowling, swimming, and studying with a certain freshman at the U."

Peggy is in the Arts and Sciences curriculum and plans to attend Teachers College at the University of Nebraska.

* * * *

BobRipley, also called "Rip," can be heard exclaiming "way to go."

His extracurricular activities are swimming, swimming, and more swimming. "The LHS athletic program, its great coaches, tradition and the backing it gets from the entire student body, also, the support, given by Mr. Pfeiff to all branches of sports" is what Bob likes best about Lincoln High.

Bob's favorite pastimes are "swimming, hunting, and keeping my eyes open at lunch in the cafeteria."

Bob is in the Engineering Curriculum and plans to attend the University'. of Nebraska next year. He gives this advice to underclassmen, "Make the most of your days at Lincoln High and take advantage of your opportunities because your senior year and graduation comes up before you know it."

Imagination's Magnet

Draws Artist Disc Jockey

Many of the illustrations accompanying the features in The Advocate this year are the work of senior John Amgwert.

111 first became interested in art in junior high," John explains. 111 like to do cartooning better than any other art form because there is no reality involved. You can stretch the imagination more."

Although not now in an art class at Lincoln High, John sums up his drawing method as "I just get an idea and start. 11

ARTISTTO DISC-JOCKEY

On Monday and Wednesday nights from 5 to 12 p. m. over radio KWHG-FM"artist" John Amgwertbecomes 11disc-jockey 11 John Amgwert.

11My first real interest in broadcasting stems from work I did at the radio and TV stations at the University of Nebraska at All-State two years ago. I suppose I first started thinking about broadcasting seriously after talking to friends associated with the broadcasting, industry," John recalls.

"I now plan to major in the broadcasting phase of journalism at the University of Nebraska. 11

EXERCISEIN IMAGINATION

In broadcasting, as in drawing, John finds ample exercise for his imagination. He characterizes his work at

KWHGas stimulating to the imagination" because "somehow there's a magnetic attraction cnce you've been on the air."

John says he still remembers how scared he was before that first broadcast over KWHGlast April 25.

"Although I have my thirdclass FCClicense, sometimes I still have a case of shaky knees before I go on. Once I'm on the air, though, I'm too busy to worry about mistakes.

"Radio is heard but not listened to because usually one is doing something else while 'listening.' Because this is true, the announcer gets a chance to use his imagination a little. Since radio is heard but not seen, an announcer has to improve the sound of his own voice to make people want to listen. I do this by smiling while I talk---that' s right I smile while talking!

11If an announcer does this," John explains, "he sounds as if he's really communicating with the individual listener. Smiling keeps the announcer from talking out of the side of his mouth. If you've ever heard an announcer who sounds as if he's just reading whatever is handed to him you know what I mean."

Whether at a drawing board or at the control panel, John Amgwert finds plenty of opportunities to utilize the fruits of an active imagination.

Emotion, Excitement Motivate Spirited Cheerleader Hopefuls

How does it feel to stand before a whole auditorium of people and perform a cheer with every eye glued on you? Well, the girls trying out for Reserve Cheerleaders this week wi 11 know exactly how it feels.

For weeks these girls have been practicing their hardest for what is believed to be one of the most important parts of any school's spirit. Each girl hopes to represent her team and her school.

TRIALSANDTRIBULATION

But many people don't realize the real torture a promising young cheerleader goes through, the long hours of practice, and the great amount of dedication that make up the ingredients needed for success, not to mention the time spent worrying about tryouts!

A few days before the tryout date is scheduled you can find a girl doing a cheer anywhere, anytime. She can't stop doing the splits in the hallways and softly repeating various chants in her classrooms.

LONELYFEELING

As she ascends the stairs to perform and give her pep talk, she will have the emptiest , !onliest feeling in the world. As she looks out into the audience for support she is sure to see the impassive faces of the coaches and the others

Next week, about 30 very nervous girls will be onstage, each making her bid for a cheerleader position.

"writing the newsletter for lettermen is one of the most interesting things I've ever done. 11

And for those who don't make it this time, aren't tryouts scheduled again next spring? *

Dwindling Silver Supply Forces Coinage Change

The actual value of 1g ca e ena 10 e th i d. t f th near future and it looks as e ng_re ien s O e coin~ if someone has been workin will drop about 90 ~er cent.

NEWCOPPERCORE

In accordance with requirements of the new coinage act passed during the summer of 1965, apure copper core will be placed in the center of all newly minted dimes and quarters. This copper core will be apparent along the rim of the coins.

The new coins are expected to make their appearance in this area in the near future.

The changes in the composition of coins were made because the United states possesses only enough silver reserves to last two more years at the present rate of consumption.

It would be catastrophic if the country ran out of silver, for it is used in many defense projects, by silverware makers, and in photography to namejust a few areas. By far, however, the greatest portion of the silver goes into coinage.

NO CHANGEIN PENNY,NICKEL

The newact makes no changes in the composition of pennies or nickels since they contain no silver. Dimesand quarters have always contained 90 per cent si 1ver; but all silver has been eliminated in the new coins.

Instead of silver, theywill be made with two outer layers of a nickel alloy with an inner slice of copper. The new

The silver in the half dollar will be cut from 90 per cent to 40 per cent and nickel wi 11 be substituted.

The new coinage act also sets downan historic provision. These new coins will contain no mint marks for five years. This is done to prevent hoarding by coin speculators. A coin speculator.is a person whotakes large numbersof newly minted coins off the market, hoping their sale value to coin collectors will go up.

CURRENTDATE

The date on the coins will be kept with the current year if the Secretary of the Treasury feels there is no danger of a coin shortage. However, if there is danger, then a "date freeze" will take place A "date freeze" means the using of a single date over a peFiod of years

The coins have been chimged to help stabilize the monetary system. This was also necessary during WorldWarII with pennies and nickels. Zinc was then substituted for copper in the penny, and silver ior nickel in the nickel. Both copper and nickel were strategic war materials.

These newest provisions will add another chapter to the history of one of our most important assets, a sound monetary system.

Initiated in Lincoln

CONTIN1£DFROMPAGE I

Since its inception seven years ago , the Lincoln program has grown to the point where today it is widely recognized as a major step in the continued improvement of Lincoln' s educational standards. Many other communities in Nebraska have since started similar programs.

The Lincoln program is open to students in all high schools, junior hill;hs, and the upper elementary grades in Lincoln. It also reaches ROTC stupents and student teachers at the University of Nebraska. Some 17,999 pupils and teachers will take part in the program.

Summing up, Dr. Sorenson says, "Lincoln schools are to be complimented for providing leadership in this very important area; the community will appreciate this kind of leadership in education."

"one big goal which we all can strive for is the achievemen t of Robert Tucker, a Lincoln High senior last year. He took fifth in the nation, and first in the state. In addition to the great amount of recognition and honor that goes with such an accomplishment, Bob's cash awards totaled $750, and he won a fou11-day tri p to Washington, D.C.," says Miss Martin.

New Installations Increase Efficiency In Machine Shop

The Lincoln High machine shop, RoomBll, has recently installed three new and useful pieces of equipment, each with a variety of uses.

BRIDGEPORTMILL

Onenewpiece is the Bridgeport Mill, a machine which will do "about a thousand different things in the shaping and fonning of metal," according to Mr. Claude Wingrove, Lincoln High machine shop instructor. 11It can bore holes, make keys, mill slots, and is useful in tool and die work. The machine cost over $2000. "

Moliere's Play Mirrors

Lifetime of 'Comedy'

"His mind was without prejudice, and he rejected nothing until it threatened to limit the free excercises of a sane intelligence or to distort a reasonable conduct."

These words reflect Moli~re., but his plays have lived on, and are considered among the great classics of our time. Although written in the 17th century, Moli~re' s comedies often apply to problems of the present day.

Moli~re, whose real name was Jean-Baptiste Poquelin,is still remembered for his superb comedies, which were a plea for man's sanity.

LIFE LIKEA PLAY

Moli~re' s life could easily be madeinto one of his greatest plays.

He first became interested in the theater during his late teens. It was at this time that he met Madeline B ij art, who remained his friend and advisor for the following 30 years. Twenty years later his marriage to a 19 -year -old girl, whosome believed to be the daughter of Madeline Bijart, caused a scandal.

After roaming for 18 years, he gradually becameknown for his plays which were usually parodies or satires about the government or the doctors of the time. There was a great deal of controversy about some of his plays, but fortunately Louis XIV was an admi rerer of his work and encouraged him, despite the

complaints from his enemies.

LASTPERFORMANCE

Not only was Moli~re a great author, he was also a great actor, and was considered by some to be more talented than Shakespheare.

In his last play, The Imaginary Invalid; he played the lead; a man who thinks he is dying. During the play he became ill and later that night he died. The Imaginary Invalid can be called the story of the death of Moli~re.

Officers Selected By Upperclassmen

The newly elected senior and junior class officers, selected from home room representative nominations are senior president, Lavonna Reeves; vice-president, uave Will; secretary, Steve David; and treasurer, Cindy Gartner.

The duties of the senior officers include presenting the senior gift to the school, presiding at class meetings, recieving copies of the Declaration of Independence from the Sertoma Club, and taking care of class dues.

Judy Bowlin, president; Biruta Pudists, vice-president; Sally Davidson, secretary; and Janice Black, treasurer;head the junior class.

The Wells Metal cutting band saw, which cost about $500, is another new machine. Its main function is the cutting of large pieces of metal.

CINCINNATISHAPER

The third machine, new to Lincoln High , is the Cincinnati Shaper. 11This machine, which shapes metals, slices off small quantities of metal with each cut, similar to the action of a plane on wood. New this machine would II • cost over $2000, Mr. Wmgrove reported.

Another new piece of equipment not yet arrived is the Covel surface grinder. This machine, which is due in the next few weeks, grinds flat surfaces of metal.

New Books Create Interest in Library

"The library has a collection of over 50 books on racial discrimination, "reports Mrs. Ruth Siefkes, school librarian.

Stride Toward Freedom, Why We Can' t Wait, and Strength to Live are works of Martin Luther King.

Others are the Ku Klux Klan by William Peirce Randall and Discrimination--USA by Jacob K. Javits.

A collection of 13 essays, We Dissent edited by Hoke Norris reflects the views of white Protestants born and raised in the South who present their ideas on segregation.

The Future Secretaries Club at Lincoln High met October 20 and heard Miss Judy Shanahan, a 1962 Lincoln High graduate, speak on "My summer Working in The Pentagon."

Miss Shanahan, apoliticalscience major at the University of Nebraska, gave an unusual account of secretarial opportunities in the nation's Capitol. A film tour of Washington D. C. preceded the talk

'The Ugly American' Relates Tale of Errors

Have you ever read a book in which Americans are downgraded and made to look like fools? One in which their successes abroad are made to look like defeats?

Such ideas are presented in The Ugly American, written by William Lederer and Eugene Burdick. The fictional plot centers on the lives of two American ambassadors in the mythical southeast Asian country, Sarkhan, a country being threatened with a Communist takeover.

REALISTICPLOT

The first ambassador in Sarkhan, Louis Sears, is a bossy lazy, and gullible ' " man He took the job to have . " something to do from the time his Senate term ran out until a federal judgeship appointment could be made. Sears knew nothing about Sarkhan. Neither he nor anymember of his staff could read nor write the native language, which might account for his constantly being fooled by the Communists.

The second American ambassador in Sarkhan, Gilbert MacWhite, is the opposite type of man. He is hard working, efficient, speaks the

language, and does his best to find the key to American success in Sarkhan. After doing much good for the country, however, he is fired for making such unorthodox statements as "all Americans in foreign countries shoul1, be able to speak the language.

UNDERLYINGTHEME

The Ugly American says if America is to achieve success and respect abroad, then Americans living and working overseas must be dedicated and well-trained.

In most cases ~his is n?t now true. Americans, 1n general, are not liked overseas by the native people, because they unknowingly insult and ridicule customs and traditions. In this way what should be victories are turned to defeats, and the path for the Communists is further opened.

The reader can easily place himself in similar situations, not necessarily in Asia, but in his daily Ii fe. If one isn't reaching the suc~ess he seeks in his life,it may be he is failing for the same reasons as Americans abroad--he isn't sincere, dedicated, or developed to his fullest capabilities.

LINKS CHALK-UP6-1-1

With the 34-14 win over Omaha south, Andy Loehr ended his first season as coach at Lincoln High with a 6-1-1 record. The Links, under Loehr, totaled 126 points to the opponents' 39. Charles King and Jim Riggins shared scoring honors for the season with five touchdowns each while Dave Will, Reuberi Worster, and Jack Galusha all scored three times each. The average touchdown was made on a run of 21 yards.

OUTRUSHEDOPPONENTS

Lincoln High outrushed its opponents on the average of 210. 5 yards to 94 yards per game. The Links weren't as impressive in the air, however, as their opponents totaled over twice as many yards passing, 447 to 219 yards passing. Lincoln High averaged about 27 yards passing, per game, while foes averaged nearly 56 yards.

After opening the season with~ 26-0 victory over Omaha Central, there was a drop in morale as Hastings tied the Links, 7-7. This was probably the low point of the season for Lincoln High, as the Links had trounced Hastings 42-0 the year before.

The high point of the year came when Loehr' s squad defeated number-two ranked Bellevue, 6-0. The Links gained revenge for a 41-7 shellacking suffered at the hands of Bellevue in 1964

Lincoln High ended its football season 6-1-1. by defeating OmahaSouth,34-14, Saturday night at Omaha's Bergquist Stadium.

The Links used mainly a ground offense, completing only one of three passes for 14 yards.

Dave Will, Charley King, Jack Galusha, and Reuben Worster all scored for the Links. Three of the touchdowns were made on runs of 30 yards or more.

The winners chalked up 266 yards rushing to south's 102 yards.

Lincoln High halfback Charles King paced the winners, carrying the ball 12 times fora total of 103 yards.

Wlike Delaney kicked two extra points and Jim Riggins ran a third for the Links.

SEASON'S RECORD

Lincoln High handed Bellevue its first loss of the season, 6-0, at Seacrest Field, October 29. The win brought the Links record for the season to 5 -1-1.

With Jim Riggins, Charles King, Dave Will, Jack Galusha, and Reuben Worster all carrying the ball for the Links, the Chieftains were kept busy wondering which player to watch.

The only touchdown of the evening came midway in the first quarter when Charles King sprinted eight yards to the goal line. The point after touchdown kick was blocked.

Later in the game, it appeared as though the missing extra point might be the downfall of the Links as Bellevue' s Roger Struble and Mike Sadaj hacked away at the Lincoln High defense and seemed, at times, capable of scoring.

It was a hard -won victory for the Links with standou t lineman Larry Lyons suffering a broken leg and several other players injured.

Johnson Named Association Head

Alden Johnson, assistant football and head basketball coach at Lincoln High, has been elected president of the District 1 High School Coaches Association.

Moliere Play Presents Challenges to Mummers

Despite bruised knees, sore ribs, and "chewed'\ fingers, the hard-working membersof the cast of this year's Mummers play, Moli~re' s the Imaginary Invalid, keep on rehearsing, intent on their December 10 goal.

Trying to make 20th Century teenagers look like 18th century adults, and attempting to make the Lincoln High auditorium resemble an 18th century house are the major problems of the crews of the play.

The costume crew hopes to rent the costumes that are to be used in the play.

It will be the problem of the make-up crew to arrange the hair styles of this period, as well as apply the make-up for the cast.

The set committee faces the task of finding appropriate furniture of the period.

The several crews hope that through their combined efforts, the result will be an effective and authentic recreation of an 18th century setting.

Omitted from the cast announced in the last issue of The Advocate were:

Age of Decision

A recent unit in senior home rooms on colleges and careers emphasized the importance of analyzing and deciding nQ~ what we want to work for and what we want to be as "persons."

All our I ives we have been I istening to what those around us think and say, often adopting their ideas as our own.

Nowit i s becomi ng increasing I y important for us to know what is going on around us in the world and to think through these issues not only from the standpoint of knowing current events, but from the standpoint of I earning to make c I ear, we11-thoughtout decisions for ourselves.

Manyforces such as the war in Southeast Asia, the draft, Civil Rights and poverty programs, to name a few, affect us directly and it is important that we know what we think about them. --~

Although much of our moral character has already been set, it is important that we think these problems through and decide what standards we want to set for ourselves.

We have to face what weare going to do about our futures. What we might think now is subject to change, but we must begin to take a stand. If we take our future seriously we must realize that it will only come out as well as we plan and prepare for it.

The long-range development of our ~ersonal ities should, at our age, grow into a development of interests outside ourselves and our immediate relationships. This means broadening our appreciation and understanding of the arts, sports, people and politics. In other words we'must become half-way intelligent, broadminded persons who can do more than dance, and dress in the 1atest fads.

It is wise to make use of our time now, to think about the present to think about the future, and to re~ember that there is more to I ife than weekends.

344 Years Later

In 1621, the Pi Igr i ms began a t rad it ion of giving thanks for a bountiful harvest. They celebrated with a plentiful meal and a worship service.

Today Americans know wealth and comfort unsurpassed. They I ive with great opportunity and comfort.

Onthe fourth Thursday of every November, Americans pause to simulate that first Thanksgiving by preparing a festive meaI.

Americans have not forgotten their heritage. They realize and are not unmindful of the security, wealth and opportunity that surrounds them.

The Americans of 1621 were grateful; the Americans of 1965-and all those through the years have been and are grateful for what is theirs.

Legacy of the Pilgrims Enjoyed by Americans

We think of Thanksgiving as a peculiarly American observance, but such is not the case.

In fact the Chinese observed such rites thousands of years ago. Thanksgiving can be traced back to the ancient Jewish Feast of Tabernacles, which lasted eight days.

A nine-day celebration, when the Greeks honored Demeter, goddess of agriculture; and the RomanCerealia, which honored Ceres are also predecessors of the present-day idea. Both the Greek and Roman festivals featured sacrifices to the deitie~ these ceremonies were combined with music and feasting.

Following a traditional autumn feast of the Druids, the Anglo-Saxons held their ''harvest home celebration.

In Scotland, such a gathering was called a 11kern. 11 Often after a special service at the church, which was decorated with autumn flowers, fruits, and vegetables, a harvest feast was served to all attendants.

ENGLANDGIVESTHANKS

From time to time England celebrated special days of thanksgiving; for example, in 1386, after the Black Prince had defeated the French and in 1588, following the victory over the Spanish Armada.

For more than 200 years the British observed a day of gratitude for the failure of the famous "GunpowderPlot of 1605. n

Other countries besides England had thanksgiving celebrations in the fall, notably Russia, Norway, Poland, and Lithuania.

THANKSGIVING:JULY4

Interestingly enough, in 1859 a group strongly advocated celebrating Thanksgiving on July 4, the same as our Independence Day. The first Presidential proclamation declaring the last Thursday of November as the official Thanksgiving was issued by President Abraham Lincoln.

Havoc resulted when President Franklin D. Roosevelt heeded the cries of merchants who wanted four weeks for Christmas shopping. He advanced the date to the third Thursday in November.

With almost every imaginable segment of the American people in protest, in 1939, the first year of the experiment, 22 states cei~brated Thanksgiving with the president, 23 recognized the traditional fourth Thursday, and three celebrated both days. The mayor of Minneapolis declared an eight-day holiday, allowing citizens to choose their own date.

In 1942, after three years of confusion, the date was officially restored to the fourth Thursday in November, and later set by law.

With its roast turkey, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie, of all the holidays observed, there is none so distinctively iAmerican as Thanksgiving, ;a legacy of the Pilgrims. It is cherished because of the traditions attached to it.

This holiday is enjoyed not only by the descendants of the Pilgrims but by all Americans; Thanksgiving is primarily a time for giving thanks for the harvests, and for other blessings the year has brought.

TWO DEPARTMENTSADD NEW

Installations in Electronics, Print Shops Add Versatility

The Lincoln High Electronics and Print Shops have recently installed the latest types of equipment which has been awaited since last spring.

Mr. Wayne Osborn of the print shop and Mr. ~lerle Rudebusch of the electronics shop declare themselves "enthusiastic about the new installations."

"The machines will update the teaching of the classes as well as increase the efficiency of the departments," say the instructors.

Print Shop History: Location Changes As Times Demand

The new off-set presses are only a new chapter in the long history of the Lincoln High Print Shop

"In the first four-story block of the building the print shop was located where the nurses office is now," says Mr. C.E. Evans, Lincoln High woodwork teacher.

SECONDSTOP-POOM131

About 15 years ago, according to Mr. Evans, the print shop occupied Room 131, where instrumental music classes now meet.

Pictured are the new pieces of equipment recently added to the Lincoln High Print and Electronics Shops. In the first row Mr \!'ayne Osborn, print shop instructor and Bill Bodfield operate the Multigraph Collator, while Richard Ward checks the Multilith Press. Both pieces are located in the print shop. In the second row Mr. ~lerle Rudebusch , electronics shop instructor, displays the Philco transistor demonstrator, and John Farrar works on the Heath Kit colored television. John has put in over 30 hours of work. Several boys of the electronics shop operate the Hickok digital computers , and Raymond Cook displays one of them in the third row. In the last picture Bill Mericle demonstrates the operation of an oscilloscope.

Fortified with a donation from the Class of 1950, the new Lincoln High Alumni Foundation is collecting names and addresses of Lincoln High graduates and is filing them in a new cen. tralized filing system.

111n the past," Lincoln High principal Mr. William Bogar says, "when a class decided to have a reunion it was difficult to contact all members of the group. Last spring, when we celebrated the 50th birthday of this building, we asked the 1500 visiting alumni to sign a register with their new names ( for women since graduation) and addresses. 11

NYCTO HELP

The filing system, purchased with funds remaining from last summer's reunion of the class of 1950, will be kept up-to-date by two or three National Youth Corps in-school program students, according to Mr. Dick Beechner, headofthe faculty com-

mittee who will aid graduates in organizing reunions and making use of the files.

11The job of finding alums willbehitormiss at first , " ~Ir. Beechner says, "But it should become easier as the grads become aware of the project. Committee heads may consult the files for plan;Jing reunions."

SOURCEOF NAME

The centralized source of names and addresses will be easier to keep in the future because, according to Mr. Beechner, "each future graduating class will be told of the foundation."

Files that have been kept up-to-date on the "L" Club over the years will serve as a starting point in the search for missing grads. Any graduate needing more information about the foundation or wishing ta have his name and address filed should write to Lincoln High.

The State Music Clinic, recently in Columbus, drew recently in Columbus, drew about 2. 000 Nebraska studenfii including 16 LHS musicians and 13 memoersof the chorus.

Five Links placed first chairs; Ken Stoll --trombone; Bob Semrad--trumpet; Tim Javorsky--French horn; Patty Vandersahl--viola; and Bob Stepp --string bass.

Other participants were: Sharon Brown, Marty Burrough, Diane Davies, Marilyn Ghormley, Dave Owen, Cathy McAllaster, and Linda Wallin -violin; Paul Newhouse--flute; Jim Davies--clarinet-MonaHagen, French horn and Carol Hadfield--cello.

Members of the chorus attending the clinic were Doug Anderson, Rick Brandt, Jeanie Dietrick, Phyllis Ghorm~ ley, Jeanne Holbrook, Jim Hedrick, Linda Kahler, Sheri Key, Marilee Likens, John Maul, Gloria Nobbman, Bill Peterson, and Elvon Taft.

The move to larger quarters was necessitated by the acquisition of additional printing equipm e nt fr o m Whitti e r Junior High.

11Whenour printing teacher left in the early l940's , 11 says Mr. Henry Ross, assistant principal at Whittier, "we were u'nable to replace him. It was decided that Whittier's equipment should be moved to Lincoln High where it could be most useful. II

Equipment brought fran the Whittier shop included hand presses , a paper cutter, a proof press, and type cases.

TRAVELSCEASE

More recent moves on the print shop's itinerary were to Room 144 and finally to the present location in Room 145 which was previously the electronics shop.

In 1927, interest in print ing was so great that a Graphic Arts Club was organized.

Debate Season Begins Well

Lincoln High Varsity debaters made an impressive first appearance this year, at the Norfolk Invitational Tournament, November 20.

Margy Angle, senior , received second place trophy in girls extemporaneous speaking. Girls extemp involves drawing a topic and then having 30 minutes in which to prepare a seven-minute speech on that topic.

Margy Angle and Carol Schumacher received a superior rating certificate for being undefeated in Varsity debate.

The Lincoln High Electronics Shop, RoomB7, has added several new pieces of equipment totaling over $14,000.

HICKOKDIGITALCOMPUTER

One of the new i terns is the Hickok digital co~puter trainer. This machine demonstrates how a computer operates and shows the digital component of a comPJter. The student can actually wire an electrical unit on this new computer and learn how to code the machine in the binary system.

The electronics shop, the only place in Nebraska with this equipment , has added 10 of these units at a cost of $1200 each.

A Philco transistordemonstrator has also been added. This machine shows the actual connections used in radio, transmitters , or computer circuits. It is the only such demonstration equipment of its kind in Nebraska except for the Milford Training School.

COLOREDTELEVISION

A Heath Kit colored television set is now being assembled by members of the electronics shop. Once completed, it will be used as part of the shop equipment for learning how to adjust the color control units on a color television.

Several oscilloscopes have been added to the electronics shop. Their function is t9 measure voltage wave forms and patterns.

ANDTHEPRINTSHOP

The Multigraph Collator and the Multilith Offset Press are two new pieces of equipment added to the Lincoln High Print Shop, Room 145.

The Multigraph Collator , which cost about $5000, puts the pages of a book, pamphlet, or booklet in sequence. With it one perspn can handle 50 copies of a 50-page booklet in about 20 minutes.

This job takes one person about two to three hours without the machine with much more chance for error. It also automatically counts booklets and pages. The print shop has used this Multigraph Collator in putting together study.guides for some Lincoln schools.

The Multilith Offset Press is the newest to be added to the print shop. It cost about $600 and can print pages up to 15 inches by 18 inches.

Veterans Day Ceremony Rekindles Patriotism

"Present day youth seem to be unaware of the importance of their patriotic duties; they need to rebuild and rekindle the feeling of loyalty for the United States' flag, government, and citizens."

With this in mind, Mr. Alexander Currie, biology instructp,r, in behalf of the student body, arranged for a veterans Day observance by placing flowers at the base of the bronze plaques inscribed with the names of LHS grads who gave their lives in World Wars I and II.

If the students could appreciate the need for authority in a society such as ours not only with the military but also in the pursuit of everyday living, much of the trouble that plagues Americans could be eliminated.

"This is the first time in recent years that st.eh a ceremony has been conducted. It is hoped this small, but sincere tribute will become another fine Lincoln High tradition," says Mr. Currie.

Bob Semrad and Dorothy Walker take part in the lilt.

Veterans Day program.

Sophomores Choose Leaders

Election of Sophomore Class Officers was held recently in the Sophomore HorneRooms.

Elected to office were Roderick Hernandez, president; Sarah Srb, vice-president; Robert Terrio, secretary; John Madison, treasurer.

It will be the president's duty to preside during programs specifically for the sophomores. In his absence, the vice-president will take over.

The secretary's main duty is to handle all correspondence of the sophomore class, and it is the duty of the treasurer to handle all funds.

Lincoln High Mummers Presents

"Actually, New York City was much more friendly that I had expected, " comments Carl.

"The next morning we were given a tour of the United Nations building and were allowed to listen to the U.N. General Assembly," Carl recalls.

Included in the morning's activities was a briefing on the U.~. special fund given by an official of the U.N. Secretariat. An afternoon briefing by a Quaker mission leader was designed to acquaint the some 300 participating students with problems currently facing the United Nations such as the dispute over admission of Red China to the U.N. , and foreign aid.

The second day at the United Nations brought a briefing on the "machinery" of the U.N. Secretariat plus a chance for the students to see the committees of the U.N. General Assembly in action.

"one of the most interesting parts of the U.N. v1sit was the o. portunity to listen tothevarious U.N. delegates speaking in foreign languages," Ron remembers.

The seminar group left New York for Washington D.C., the afternoon of November 3.

Briefings on disarmament and the Peace Corps by officials representing the Quaker Legislative Program Cornrnitt~ were first order of business on the Washington agenda.

Near the close of the week came a briefing on the history and responsibilities of the state department which paved the way for the group' s tour of the National Archives.

From the Archives the group proceeded to the Pan-American Builcj.ing, there to learn more ab.out the workings of the Organization of American States (OAS).

All three seminar participants agree that their recent experience has stimulated their interest in world affairs while bringing the full meaning of the United Nations and its functions into a clearer light.

Five Links Land Places On Journal's All-City Teams

Lincoln High was well represented on the all-city teams with four J]layers named to the all-city football team and one runner on the all-city cross country team.

Jim Riggins , back; Steve David , center; Larry Lyons , guard; and Steve Hanneman, end; represented the Links on the Lincoln Journal and Star all-city football team for 1965.

Jack Galusha, Charles King , and Reuben Worster, backs; and John Walters, tackle; were also cited for exceptional performance.

Does Early Start, 8 Lettermen Spell Gymnastics Success?

Although the gymnastics season officially opened November 15, Lincoln High gymnasts have been hard at work since the first week of school.

Concentrating on getting into shape, last years varsity and reserve gymnasts have been putting themselves through a heavy schedule of hand stands, push ups, pull ups, and sit ups.

11Flexibili ty is the keyword for a gymnast, 11 says Doug Learned whose specialty

is tumbling. "so far w~ve been practicing most on the rings, high bar, parallel bars, and tumbling."

With 8 returning lettermen, the gymnastics team hopes to recapture the state gymnastics championship.

The returning lettermen are: George Ellis, TomHansen, Jack Hooper, Doug Learned,

Bill Mitchell, Steve Robertson, Roger Roseberry, and Don Williams.

His most embarrassing moment came during his sophomore year when he had to explain to his coach that he had missed cross country practice because his mother made him get a haircut!

He has served as president of the State Student council and his favorite pastime is "driving a garbage truck at 4:30 in the morning!"

Participation in sports has taught him how to be a part of a team and to work together with others and that hard work goes a long way.

He plans to study Physical Therapy at the University of Kansas.

Larry Lyons, whohas earned a Reserve football letter, two Varsity football letters, and a Varsity wrestling letter, likes the excellent coaching staff and fine athletic record Lincoln High has built up through the years.

Larry's pet peeve is that linemen aren't given the recognition he feels they deserve. His favorite sport is football because he enjoys the physical contact.

He considers his most memorable experience "helping to defeat second-ranked Bellevue this year and putting Lincoln High back on top '\fflere it belongs. 11

Participation in sports has taught Larry that effort and sportsmanship are the most important factors in any athletic contest.

He plans to attend the University of Nebraska.

the attitude that it is the most important game:1" -December 3 marks the debut of the 1965-66 season when the Links meet OmahaCentral. Lincoln High was defeated by Central last year 58-54

The Omaha World Herald recently announced its selection of Larry Lyons as a member of the all-state football team.

Lyons, who was the only player from Lincoln High, was a standout guard throughout the season and suffered a leg injury near the end of the season when the Links met Bellevue.

Thanksgiving vacation is finally here, which means the Christmas holidays are close at hand. In fact , the calendar shows 25 shopping days left until Santa slides down your chimney.

It's time to think gifts!

How about hinting that the Place carries those yummy pastel sweaters in lemon yellow, lime green, and soft apricot with delicious matching skirts you' d 1 ike to find under your Christmas tree?

It' s time to think parties! If you enjoy feeling like a princess, choose a floorlength formal from the Place for those important winter parties.

Have a happy Turkey Day! We' 11 be seeing you over vacation at the Place.

Council Workshop Highlights Leadership Responsibilities

The recent Leadership Workshop for club officers, presented in the Little Theater by the Student Council, began with a speech by Dr. William Hall, professor of Educational Psychology and Measurement and head of the Nebraska Human Resources Research Foundation.

He defined leadership as "the ability to influence one or more persons to do something they would not otherwise have done. 11

Pointing out that the individual should always be "people-oriented," he elaborated on the types of leaders: natural, arbitrary, and elected.

Following, a film, "The Challenge of Leadership," stressed the ability of a leader to form a group into an effective, mobilized unit.

The second of two sessions began with an explanation of steps in solving a problem.

Group Dynamics, defined as "the process of gaining the goals of a group, 11 was illustrated by demonstrations of "role playing," "brainstorming," and "buzz groups."

Closing the two-day workshop was a run-down on parliamentary procedure and an evaluation of the workshop.

The five Lincoln High winners, together with entries from other Lincoln schools, will be judged on a city-wide basis. These five winning entries will then be sent to the state contest, and the state winners to the national judging.

JUDGEDOVERTHANKSGIVING

The essays were judged over Thanksgiving vacation by a committee of three English teachers. They were judged by numbers, not names. The five Lincoln High winners were chosen from ten entries.

111 felt the essays entered at Lincoln High were very good. Most of them had excellent organization and several good interviews and related to literature," says Miss Martin.

SCHOOL POLICY INTERPRETED; RESPONSIBILTY DEFINED

Because of the many inquiries received by the office concerning school sponsorship of pre-Thanksgiving parties and other outside activities, it has been thought advisable to clarify the administrative policy so that there can be no misunderstanding on the part of parents.

"No public school in the city is allowed to sponsor any dance or school activity off campus, with the exception of athletic events," states Miss Dorcas Weatherby, assistant principal.

In regard to off-campus high school activities, the Board of Education hopes that parents are aware of the Board policy.

An excerpt from the Personnel Handbook issued by the Board of Education states 11All school-sponsored activities, with the exception of certain regularly scheduled interschool activities (for example , basketball games at Pershing Mudi-torium), shall be held at the respective school sites."

'Same Old Thing'

Routine is something we 1 ive with. In fact routine is what we l i ve by, It dictates whatweplan and what we do,

We get up in the morning, go to school, go to the same classes~ see the same people in the halls, l 1sten to the same teachers, eat lunch in the same place with the same people, go home from school the same way, do homeworkat the same ti me in the same place, 1 isten to the same radio station, eat the same snacks, ta 1k to the same people on the phone, and go to bed at the same ti me. On week ends we go to the same dances, the same movie theaters and eat at the same places.

A certain amount of regulation is necessary to prevent chaos and wasted time, but it is not necessary to get bogged down by it and it does not have to stifle us. When we become trapped in a "r~t" and our imagination begins to fail, it is time to start alerting ourselves.

Occasionally we should make a few small changes to break the routine. Perhaps taking a different way to and from school, walking down a different hall to get to class, 1 istening to a radio station with a different type of music, or talking to someone we've never or seldom talked to would change our perspective.

We can also try doing something different with our spare time. On Saturday afternoon, instead of going downtown, we could visit Sheldon Art Ga11ery or on Sunday afternoon, instead of driving around, we could take a long walk. We should try goTng out of town whenever we get the chance.

It helps relieve the monotony if we meet somebody new and if we become interested in people different from the ones with whomwe usually associate.

Another good thing to do is read a book when we don't even have to, or read a book different from our usual fare. Visiting a different church on Sunday can be stimulating.

It's good to get away from "the same old thing" and explore, to give ourselves a chance to develop and grow. We need newexperiences to stimulate new thoughts and ideas. This waywemay discover interests wenever dreamed of having that will enrich and add variety to our day-to-day I iv i ng.

Diet of Seaweed, Algae Predicted for Year 1990

Howdoes a menuof seaweed, cultured algae, yeast, and items artifically flavored to resemble meat and cheese sound for a wholesome, tasty lunch?

Not so good? Prediction of life in 1990 presents some startling innovations for the future. Tomorrow's life will be totally different fr om today's.

Assuming the world avoids a nuclear war, it is certain the population will increase 50 per cent. What will the life be like a generation from now?

BEATINGTHECROWD

Canyou imagine vacationing in the jungle? The population pressure will make the now less desirable areas seem more desirable particularly for those who wish "to get away from the crowd." Those who can afford it will retreat to the mountains. The jungle will have fewer terrors, with the more deadly insects and beasts under control.

Probably the most startling development will be the creation of underground cities, which will lessen the problems of cooling in the summer and warming in the winter. One would never have to walk to school in rain or snow! Production would increase, since round-the -clock shifts would be more easily set up because the difference between day and night would be minimized.

The ground above would be devoted to farming and parks.

Again the population explosion wi 11 drive meninto space towards the moon._ Plans for men landing on Mars, and even on Jupiter will be commonplace. Manwill be taking for granted the use of satellites for weather forecasting, communications and navigation.

One would get through tONn faster and quicker. Personal vehicles on the road would be separated from, commercial vehicles.

Helicopters will be popular and the newer buildings will be topped by small heliports. There will be an increasing tendency to make use of compressed air tubes for mail service.

FOODCONSCIOUS

The United States wi 11 not experience the famines that will be common in much of the world. Americans wil 1 grow more food "conscious" and less "particular." Also there will be a tendency to drift away from meat eating to more consumption of grains and fish.

The supermarket of 1990 will have its items coded. The shopper will mark off items on appropiate cards. Her order, properly packed, itemized, and charged will be waiting for her within minutes.

Does looking ahead in the future seem a frightening experience?

The preceding information is taken from the August, 1965 issue of Science Digest.

Pidgin Develops Speech Shorthand

"Men on the Moon by 1970; Manned Space Flights to Mars in Next Decade" read the headlines.

When improbability becomes reality, when fiction becomes fact, .man may have other unforeseen difficulties to face.

Suppose when these feats are accomplished that the astronauts encounter other "beings" who speak a different language. Is there any universal language by which these astronauts might make themselves understood by others?

Through the centuries, certain abridgements between languages have enabled speakers of one language to communicate ideas to speakers of another language.

Probably the Pilgrims and other early settlers in this new world found a way through signs and sounds, to make known their wants to the Indians they found here.

BUSINESSLANGUAGE

"Pidgin" English, the popular name forany abridgement of the English language, was first developed in the 19th century as a business lan-

Hi ho!

The holiday season is here so make Gold's your first stop for holiday fashions!

guage between Chinese merchants and American traders.

The name pidgin comes from the Chinese pronunciation,of the word "business." Since the Chinese have difficulty in the enunciation of the consonant "s," the word business became "bijin" and finally "pidgin."

Pidgin English probably was most widely used and developed by American servicemen in the South Pacific during World War II.

A classic example of this World War II variety is shown in the story of the servant of an East Indian plantation owner who came running into the master's house one day wildly gesturing and shouting "Him cow pig have kittens!"

SIMPLESTYLE

By using an extremely simple style accompanied by wild gesturing, well-spoken pidgin conveys meaning in a few words, Since pidgin's vocabulary consists of variations of foreign words and phrases and uses only basic verbs, it might even be characterized as "poetic."

Although pidgin does incorporate a simple syntax of foreign words and basic verbs, it still has set rules of vocabulary and construction. To keep the language simple , only the present tense is

used and words are qualified by English comparatives. There are no textbooks or dictionaries of pidgin, yet; the only way to learn pidgin is through experience. In our communications with friends, we have all unknowingly developed our own style of pidgin English.

In today's world of conflicting ideals, communication and understanding of ideas are more valuable and necessary than ever before.

Pidgin, like the world into which it was born, reflects the conflict of that world coupled with a touch of the confusion of modern thought.

Homemakers Salute Worthy Club Service

In recognition of the accomplishments of the many organizations at Lincoln High, the junior-senior chapter of the Future Homemakers of America plans to sponsor a showcase, to be located at the entrance of Room 211.

The display will feature a poster saluting one of the school's organizations and refreshments for one meeting, to be furnished by FHA members.

"The honored group will be selected on the basis of its contribution to school spirit, outstanding leadership, and continuous service to the school " explains Mrs. Corene Herbster, a sponsor of FHA.

Keywords of Wrestling: Skill, Agility

Is there any indoor sport other than basketball which will draw the attention of fans nowthat football season is over? Can any other sport provide the show of skill and ·agility football does, yet be tailored to the indoors?

Whether the word wrestling connotes the mats and grappling on a gym floor or whether the word brings to mind a picture of ancient heroes of mythology locked in epic struggle, wrestling is one of the oldest and most popular of all sports. It requires use of nearly all body muscles and is perhaps the only sport in which agility counts over size.

Carvings on the walls of temples in the Nile valley preserve hundreds of scenes from wrestling matches. In this panorama of grappling, nearly all the holds known today are pictured, indicating that wrestling was a highly developed sport in Egypt and Babylonia as early as 3000 BoC.

FORMANDSTYLE

The earliest form of wrestling, knownas the Pane rat ium, was grappling with no holds barred. Since bi ting and gouging were the only recognized fouls, kicking, twisting of the limbs, and struggling on the ground were all part of the fun! The winner, of course, was the one who could stand the most the longest. \

HOOPER HANSEN

Jack Hooper, in the Business Administration Curriculum, considers his most embarrassing experience losing a wrestling.match with Phil Sprague.

Jack enjoys golf as much as gymnastics, the sport in which he lettered, "because both require a great deal of individual competition."

He rates, as his most memorable experiences, placing second in both the TransNebraska Meet and the State Meet.

Jack likes 8:00 classes best about Lincoln High and his favorite pastimes are spending money and sleeping

Participation in sports has taught Jack to hide his real feelings while acting like a good loser.

Wrestling first became "ci vilizedl" when it moved into the Pantheon of Athens as a part of the Olympic Games. A new setting also meant a new form and the Graeco-Roman style of wrestling was born. The winner in Greek and Roman circles was the wrestler who could throw his opponent to the ground three times. Later this changed and the winner had only to pin the shoulders of his opponent to the ~round.

Wrestling as a sport in the United States has grown because of the great interest generated by a program of amateur wrestling sponsored by junior and senior high schools.

Amateur wrestling matches are usually fought on large

SONS

Tom Hansen, in the Agriculture Curriculum, calls his favorite pastime "just bombing around."

Tom, whose pet peeves are "standardized physics tests and Coach Sprague' s isometrics," lists gymnastics as his favorite sport because he feels it brings out the best in an individual.

He considers his most memorable experience as "taking third in the state on the rings last year." He was most embarrassed when he fell off the rings during his first Varsity meet.

The friendliness of the students and this year's football team are what Tom likes best about Lincoln High; his future plans include helping the 1966 gymnastics team take State and attending the University of Nebraska.

Participation in athletics has taught him better sportsmanship and respect for the other person's ability.

mats and consist of three 3-minute rounds. Wrestlers start the first round in upright positions from opposite corners of the mat.

In the second and third rounds, the referee's position is used to put each wrestler alternately on the offensive and defensive. When the referee's position is used, one participant is on hands and knees while the other kneels beside him with one arm around his waist and the other at his elbow.

Strategy and the degree of conditioning are the keywords in amateur wrestling because wrestlers are given points for skill and maneuvering. Even if neither wrestler wins by pinning the shoulders of his opponent to the mat, the wrestler with the most points at the end of three periods is declared the, winner.

CATCHAS CATCHCAN

When wrestling as a professional sport was first introduced to the United States, in the 1880's, its form was greatly influenced by the previous development of the sport (as amateur wrestling). In America a still newer form, Catch-asCatch-Can, came into wide use because it gave wrestlers greater freedom of movement.

If you find yourself cringing at the pressures being applied to your favorite wrestler, think how much worse it would be if the match were conducted according to Egyptian or Roman rules!

The Lincoln High basketbal I squad, in its season opener, was defeated by OmahaCentral 74-55.

The Links managed to remain in a potential winning position throughout the first two periods with the host, Central, leading 33-28 at the half.

In the second half, however, Central took command and outclassed the Links 41-27 making the final score 74-55.

Even though the Links lost, the Black and Red showed good team strength. Charles Garrett was the leading scorer for the Links with 14 points; Jack Highstreet was next with 12; Mike Casmer, 11; Mike Diffenderfer, 9; Steve Hanneman, the only Link to foul out, 7; Joe Casmer, 2.

· Though Charles King didn't score, he made a sparkling show as a guard in the last period.

The Lincoln High Reserves were defeated 47-28.

Lincoln High next plays host to Omaha Westside, Saturday night in Johnson Gym. Last year Westside defeated the Links, 73-56.

Winter sports time is here again, which means lots of basketball games and swimming, gymnastics, and wrestling meets to attend. So let's really support our teams and show them we're behind them all the way.

A close look at the backgrounds and experiences of seniors Martin Almanza and John Amgwert, recently selected as art editors for the 1966 Scribe, reveals wide differences in artistic preferences.

"I've been fascinated by the ~motion' an artist can portray in his work ever since I can remember," says Martin.

John, who enjoys "the suspension of reality" he finds in art, believes that his first real interest in art stems from work he did for the Lefler Mascot in junior high.

Both Martin and John have had art work published in The Advocate. Each has also had a number of works exhibited at the Art Club's annual exhibition.

"To me, people make the most interesting subjects because there is a sense of realism and emotion that the artist must capture," Martin comments. "what better place is there to portray human emotion than in the facial expressions of people?"

John, on the other hand, prefers cartoon work "because there is no reality involved and one can make freer use of his imagination." ·

Martin finds exercise for his artistic abilities at his after-school job at a local department store where he makes signs for special displays in the grocery department. "The work I do at the store is good experience, 11 he laughs, 11 since I plan to fol -

low a career in commercia illustration."

SCRIBEDUTIES

One of the first assignments Martin and John will have as Scribe board members will be to work out a cover design for the 1966 Scribe. Later the two will read over Scribe entries selected by the Ser ibe editorial board to determine those which will best adapt to illustrations.

The work they will be doing for the Scribe is a new experience for both artists. At the same time it will be another item on their lists of artistic achievements.

CUSTOMSSIMILAR

Although many of the customs are the same, such as Christmas trees , caroling , and gift e xchange , Emnet' s family observes some traditions unknown in the Uni ted States.

On Christmas.day, for example, each family slaughters a a sheep. Although Emnet does ·m. not know the origin of this custom, she says it is a very old and strictly observed custom. She explains that "although Christmas has been obs er v e d in Ethiopia since the fourth century, many customs, such as gift exchange, were introduced later by Europeans."

For Christmas, an Ethiopian brew , made in the homes is served to the entire family.

Miss Dorcas Weatherby, assistant principal in charge of student services, has announced that winners and alternates for Regents scholarships, will be divulged January 5, 1966 ~

Another unusual Christmas custom is the spreading of a special grass, used for decoration, on the floor of the homes.

Having never seen snow, it was a welcome and beautiful sight to Emnet. She explains that although snow is new to her , she has seen ice before , since sleet is common during the Ethiopian summer rainy season.

A Feeling Now

Beginning around the second week of December, when the dark hours crowd out and steal awaythe daylight, and the cold air bites and slaps, another fee 1 i ng comes, the fee 1 i ng of Christmas.

Stores stay open, streets and buildings are decorated with glittery angels and bright 1 ights; tiny bells ring on every corner and th~ warm, homogenized sounds of Christmas carols echo wherever we go.

Our own homes and others in the neighborhood sprout gaiety in colored I ights and displays.

Fami 1 ies happily make p1ans for annual festivities; kids ecstatically plan for the days without school.

Everyone changes a 1 ittle, as if touched by the spark Ii ng dust of excitement in the air.

All are infected with a happy, charitable spirit that flows and overflows. This is a time of quiet and meditation.

There is something about the sights and sounds of Christmas that m~kes us forget to wish it were spring. The gentle snow, the special feeling of gladness make the season a flash of real joy we remember all year.

Yule Festivities Glow In Symbolic Candlelight

What does a lighted candle mean to you at Christmas? Countries throughout the world have their ownsymbolic meaning of the light of a candle.

Lighted candles have long been a part of the Norwegian Yule, both on the table and on the Christmas tree. In times gone by, there was often a candle for each member of the family. Each light was thought to have particular power over any person or object on which it shone.

SIGNOF CROSSONCATTLE

Centuries ago, farmers carried a lighted Christmas candle through the barn and into the stable, singeing the sign of the cross in the hair of the cattle for good

fortune during the coming/ year.

In Northern Norway, the use of the lighted candle in the Christmas festival probably stems from the old light rituals attached to the return of the sun.

The Lucia celebration, a traditional .Christmas event, has become quite generally a communityaffair in the cities of Sweden today.

In Iraq,an unusual ceremony is held in the courtyard of the home on Christmas Eve. One of the children reads the story of the Nativity from an Arabic Bible. The other members of the family light the candles and as soon as the story has been read a bonfire is lighted in one corner of the courtyard. When the fire is reduced to ash, everyone jumps over the ashes three times and makes a wish.

A distinctive feature, in Ireland, of Christmas decoration is a very large candle which is placed near a front window and lighted on Christmas Eve. Tradition says that it should be lighted by the youngest member of the family and snuffed only by someone named Mary. This light is supposed to welcome Mary, Joseph, and the Infant Jesus.

For the people of South Africa, church services are held on Christmas morning. Christmas Eve celebrations, in large centers, include "carols by Candleliglht 11 and special screen and flloor shows.

Christmas trees in Finland and in Denmark, traditionally ha v e candles on t h e i r branches. Churches in these countries are always handsomely decorated.

These customs and many others constitute the meaning of a lighted candle in other countries.

The preceding information was taken fromHolidays Around The World by Joseph Gaer,and Celebrating Christmas Around the World by Herbert Wernecks.

Caroling Ingredients: Mistletoe, Tradition

With the coming of Christmas, along with mistletoe, Christmas trees, and Christmas candy, we also include Christmas caroling as one of the traditions of the holiday season. These songs celebrate the birth of Christ and the festival of the Christmas season.

Although many consider caroling an American custom, very few of the carols originated in the United States.

MOSTB[LOVEDCAROL

Probably the most well known of all Christmas carols is Silent Night. Originally a poem written by Father Josef Mohr, it was later set to music by Franz Gruber, a church organist and friend of Father Mohr.

One of the earliest carols ' '\ rl· , st ill sung today is O Come, /! " . All Ye Faithful, which bej U came popular in the 17th ...---..-J Century. Its verses have Ii -· been translated into some A 120 languages.

Very little is known about the origin of the English carol, The First Noel. One source says the carol is a medieval shepherd' s song.

AMERICANCAROLS

Although most Christmas carols are of English, French, or German origin rather than Amer i c an , w e can c l a i m 0 Little Town Of Bethlehem, and We Three Kings as strictly American.

Bishop Phillips Brookwrote the lyrics to O Litt le Town Of Bethlehem after a threeyear trip to Bethlehem, although some sources believe the tune appeared earlier in English hymnals.

First published in 1859, We Three Kings is a modern carol about the visit of the Magi. It is sometimes used in dramatic productions of the Magi seeking out the Christ child.

Not considered as carols in the strict sense of the

word, other musical selections have been reserved so exclusively to the season they are considered 11ChristT, • mas music.

WORLDWAR II SONG

Probably the most well known and best liked of these is I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas, made popular by Bing Crosby. Other such songs are It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas, The Christmas Song, and I'll Be Home for Christmas, a song made popular during World War II, and becoming increasingly meaningful this Christmas.

Of course, when talking about Christmas, one can't omit the ever-popular Jingle Bells as one of the all time favorites of young and old alike.

Whether the song is sacred or a pop tune, joyful or sad, it plays an equal and important role in spreading the joy of Christmas.

OrigamiForms Demand Patience, Interest, Skill

"Where did you get those little animal decorations?"

111 made them. That's what you call the "art of origami!"

11The art of ori--what?"

"Origami, the art of making three dimensional objects from flat pieces of paper. Sit down. I' 11 tell you about it. II

Origami is a folk art which probably originated in China and Japan about two thousand years ago.

It has reached its highest form in Japan and other nations of the East because it helps teach patience, accuracy, concentration, and peaceful accomplishment--all of which fit well into the aesthetic Eastern concept of life as man should live it.

The Japanese attach great significance to the carefully made paper figures which are products of hours of work. Each figure created by the origami artist is linked to stylized Japanese traditions.

Perfection in the art of paper folding is considered a mark of unique individualism in Japanese art circles. Japanese paperwork is judged as much by how it is made as by the completed effect of object created This is why a definite line is drawn between origami--the art of folding pi.per and kirigami-the art of paper cutting.

WESTERNSTYLEORIGAMI

Development of origami as an art in the western world can be traced from the introduction in the Twelfth Century of paper manufacture by the Moors of Spain.

Since the time of the Egyptians, the peoples of Western Europe had used thick starched cloth to create ornaments in much the same way that their eastern counterparts used paper.

The Byzantine court of the Middle Ages and the'Papal Court of Rome also made use of the starched cloth for vestments and figures which closely paralleled in design and use those found in the East. The westerners, however, were not as artful in their adaptations.

AFS Goal: Sales

To Financially Aid Exchange Students

Were you approached like this lately? "HQwwould you 1 ike to buy a box of this delicious, mouth-watering, scrumpt~ous, tasty candy? A whole box for only a dollar!"

How could you resist? Out came the dollar, and the candy was yours. The salesman and you are good friends-until that January day when it shows on the scales.

FORGOODCAUSE

But remember, it was all for a good cause, for this was the annual American Field Service candy sale. The candy sale, along with the sale of Christmas cards, is the only school-wide AFS money-making project of the year.

111 enjoy life; I would never want to change the way I've lived," says Carol Bradshaw, Lincoln High School senior.

Life in an Air Force family has taken her to such foreign places as Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Labrador and, on, the home front, to Illinois, Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska. The three and a half years she has lived in Nebraska is the longest time she has lived in any one place.

GERMANY;FAVORITEHOME

Of the places Carol has lived, she claims Germany as her favorite. 111 like everything about Germanythe climate, atmosphere, bicycles, food, and most of all, the friendly people. 11

The Codex Atlanticus, journal of the great inventor Leonardo DaVinci, contains directions for folded paper airplanes as illustrations of his theory of flight.

MODELSFORINDUSTRY

Geometry involved in modern engineering and architectural principles can often best be illustrated by use of simple origami figures.

Often the most unique packaging techniques employed by the advertising industry to catch the eye of the consumer originated with a simple folded paper model.

When the first books with diagrams and instructions for folding paper decorations appeared in Europe in the early 18th century, even such great writers as Shelley and Lewis Carroll were found experimenting with this new art form borrowed from the far east.

If you have some extra time over the long Christmas holidays, sit down with some square pieces of paper and try your luck at creating origami figures. The steps to follow are very simple:

1. Find a flat, hard surface on which to work

2. Select a color that you feel will make your model look interesting. Remember that true origami paper is square

3. Take your time

4. Make folds straight and creases sharp so that your figure will hold its shape when completed

5. Experiment

Paper folding can be fun as well as rewarding, i but it does require patience, accuracy, and a certain amount of experimentation. Although anyone can take a book of origami figures and copy them, the idea is to create something original.

Even if your first adventure in the art of origami is a failure, remember that it' s taken the Japanese two thousand years to develop their skill at origami!

All money made on this project will go to the Lincoln High chapter of the AFS to help finance foreign students attending Lincoln High and help pay for Link AFSstudents abroad.

PROGRAM

PURPOSEOF

11The AFS program helps strengthen relationships between countries, and gives all concerned additional wealth and knowledge of the people of foreign lands," says Mr. Paul Adams, AFS sponsor for Lincoln High.

"The sale of over 2000 boxes of candy will mean ru fine start for the AFS int helping finance the progrann next year. 11

Clubs and organizations also have a stake in the candy sale, for the group which sold the most will receive $50 and second most $25.

~na1t Santa:

According to custom, a few friends got together last weekend to write a letter to you. We thought long and hard and came up with the following list of gifts we would like you to bring us for Christmas!

Kathy Mason--a new teddy bear

Carol believes the advantages of a life of travel are meeting people, seeing the world, and acquiring a broader view on life "as it really is and not just as one hears it to be. However, the one great disadvantage is having to leave your friends."

Although Carol's family life has been close and se-. cure, she has sometimes felt insecure because of her lack of permanent friendships.

EUROPEANYOUTHMOREMATURE

"European youth," says Carol, "mature much earlier than American youth." She feels this is because the boys are put out on their own at a much younger age and the girls stay in the home to learn the domestic arts.

"European parents don't have the money American parents do so the children are not spoiled so easily and learn responsibility early.

Vicki Weyrauch--a cheese sandwich and a vanilla ice cream cone

Mr. Bogar--red Gran-Sport convertible with black interior and 4 on the floor, 385 HP with 428 cu. inch displacement, and bucket seats

Maggie Higgins--a studley Debbie Knight--a blue Puma pair of goggles with pink horns

Joe Teale- -a studley red meg- Dorothy Walker-- a photograph- aphone ic memory

Sally Rebensdorf--a tube of hair-grqwing tonic Kiley Webb--a big bag of toys

Miss Weatherby--a one-way trip to Tahiti on a slow boat

Jack Galusha--anything but saddle shoes!

Bev Rabe --one of Santa'sreindeer, preferably Rudolph

Tom Aguire--a dozen girls

Janice Portsche--the biggest Janet Boatman--a sweetheart package of spirit LHS has Ball in February ever had

Biruta Pudists--snow

BobWhitemon1-a can of black paint to paint the red fen- Angel Gonzalez--the cast off der of my car my leg

Penny Davis--a boy 6 feet 11 Christie Schwartzkopf- -a inches tall to play on our left-handed banana basketball team

Susie Pederson--a 1954 Ford

King Little- -a pool table and car radio some cookie cutters

Mr. Pfeiff -continued effort junior girls- -some newjunior and achievement for Lincoln boys High

"European parents are strict and old fashioned and the people live accordiiig to high standards."

Of her educational experiences c;r -oV remembers Alabama schools as being the easiest. Learning languages in a grade school in Europe also left its impression in her. memory. 11My biggest' con~ cern has been to adjust to the changing of niinimumrequirements from one school to the next. 11

Carol enjoys many hobbies. She draws, paints, and bowls. Her more unusual hobbies include skeet shooting, collecting tags from clothes purchased all over the world, dolls from the various countries she has seen '; and miniature cups and saucers.

SKEETSHOOTINGCHAMP

Carol got startfd skeet shooting in the first grade when her father kept insisting that she accompany him to the shooting range. Then, one day in 1963, Carol went to the range to practice shooting and discovered that the Junior Civies League Lincoln Air Force Base Club was holding a match. Carol entered II for the fun of it" and won the championship in the women's division!

By thoughtlessly throwing clothes tags into a drawer, Carol star ted another hobby. Her clothes tags now number in the hundreds including such famous name brands as White Stag, Paris Original, Catalina~ Johnathan Logan, Darline, Jansen, and others.

Her miniature cup and saucer collection got its start when her mother brought her first cup and saucer as a souvenir of a bullfight in Spain. After that, Carol began receiving them as Christmas or birthday pre:.. sents or buying them herself if she saw a set she liked. Her collection now numbers · 22.

Carol's father will be stationed at the Lincoln Air Force Base until 1967 so Carol will be able to graduate from Lincoln High next spring. She hopes to return to her home state of Oklahoma and attend the uniyersity there. She will study Inte~ rior Design.

CAROLVIEWSFELLOWTEENS

When alone, Carol experiments with makeup and her hair. "I like to be alone because I can ... think things out but I wouldn't always want to be alone.

"Rather than being in a group, I like to be with one boy or girl. There is more of a togetherness and it is more fun. I also like to share commoninterests with another II person, Carol says,

Perhaps it is understandable why Carol feels deeply about her friends in Lincoln J1igh. Althougn her life as m~mber of an Air Force family has been interesting, she has had little opportunity to make · l ,asting friendships.

Ramon, however, is familiar with snow, having lived near mountains in Northern Spain.

Since this is his first Christmas in the U.S., he is anxious to observe the different Christmas customs.

Christmas Eve, or 11Nochebuena" in Spanish, is celebrated with a big dinner at horne and the singing of Christmas carols at friends' homes.

In explaining some of his native Christmas customs, Ramon says that at 12:30 o'clock on the last night of the year, as · the clock is striking 12, it is the custom for everyone to eat one grape with each toll of the bell to insure good fortune throughout the year.

Human Chessmen War Results In Stalemate., Return to Status Quo

It was late in the war-nearing the end. The opposing armies had fought hard. Most of the men were down, fewremained. The general's troops held a decided advantage over the opposing forces of the commander-in-chief in the battle of the year.

Relentlessly , the general drove the enemy into a corner and nearly had it surr.ounded. Then disaster struck for the general; he put the commander in a square where it was not attacked--thu s creating a stale mate.

The game was set up after rumors began spreading that Lincoln High principal William Bogar had "lost his touch" in chess--even though he holds a remarkable chess record at Lincoln High. A game was set up between him and Lincoln High chemistry teacher, Leroy Colson. The draw keeps Mr. Bogar' s record intact.

Humanchessmen were used so that all present could participate. To identify the pieces, each human chessman was given an appropriate hat to wear. An oversize pap~r board was made expressly for the game; Mr. Bogar and Mr. Colson were· perched on step-

The enthusiasm of the Links reached a peak when the Black and Red took the lead in both the first and second quarters.

Alden Johnson's crew gave the unbeaten Rockets a scare throughout the first half as the hustle and jumping of the Links compensated for their lack of height. The score at intermission was 35-30 in favor of the Rockets.

A sustained effort on the part of Northeast in the second half, however, earned them the game as they outscored Lincoln High, 38-26.

HEUKE

Steve Heuke, in the Engineering Curriculum, considers swimming his favorite sport because "although it is an individual sport, the ability of the individual determines the strength of the team.

Steve likes the friendliness of the students and their attitude toward school best about Lincoln High. His pet peeve is people who call him "Henke" and "Hukey" or otherwise mispronounce his name.

His most memorable experience was helping the swim team defeat Lincoln Southe as t, whi ch had n' t been beaten in a dual meet in several years. He also enjoyed the honor of being elected one of the three captains of the team.

Steve has learned that "even though one might lose, he benefits from that loss and the person whoputs forth the second effort usually comes out ahead."

King Little has participated in Reserve tennis, Varsity swimming, the Chess Club, L Club, Teenage Project, Student Council, Lincoln Board of Youth, and served as a class officer during his Sophomore year.

In the Engineering Curriculum, King plans to attend the university and then join the Army's Special Forces Unit.

His favorite pastimes are "playing pool and baking cookies. " He I ikes the swimming pool, which he considers one of the best in the state, best about Lincoln High.

King rates his pet peeve as "being beaten by three points." (This is with reference to the swimming meet with Sioux City Central in which the Links were defeated 49-46.)

Swimming is his favorite sport because "it is a sport in which one works against an element (water) as well as an opponent and the watch,"

Trailing by six points at the half, the Links rallied and out-scored the Warriors 45-32 in the latter periods.

The Black and Red finished the game with four players in the double figures: Jack Highstreet led the scorers with 19; Mike Cas~er, 16; Steve Hanneman, 15; and Charles Garrett, 14. Mike Diffenderfer tallied 6; Floyd Brown, 2; and Charles King, 2. LHSSWIMMERSPOST 73-22 WINOVERFREMONT

Newly-Selected Advocate Staff Readies for Action

"Exodus" might well be the theme song heard in The Adv ocate composing room when a newly-selected staff takes over second semester and the old "pros" who have served the maximumof two semesters on the staff, leave for the last time.

The new Advocate staff, with three veterans carried over from the first semester staff and 14 beginning newshawks, provides a complete change of command---something new in recent Advocate history. Staff positions of Feature Editor and Exchange Editor are also being reactivated in the coming semester.

The new duty roster for second semester includes: Patsy Cleveland, editor-inchi ef; Janet Boatman, managing editor ; Roger Boye , news editor; Kathy Mason, second page editor; Janice Black, third page editor; Val deen Smith, feature editor; Cheryl Talley, exchange editor; Jim Young, sports editor; John Cariotto , assistant sports editor ; and Jim Bender, business manager Reporters include: Steve Arnold, Kathy Karnopp, Linda "Latzel, Cathy Michaelson, Janice Portsche, Linda Rodgers, and Fred Schmidt.

"The Advocate strives to give the students of Lincoln High and the community an accurate picture of all areas of activity at Lin~oln High. Since the paper is issued bi-weekly, new staff members will soon find that keeping the record up to date is a never-ending job . ." says Mrs. Ruth Gartner, adviser.

Another new feature being provided for incoming staff members are afterschool "classes" under the direction of the outgoing staff to acquaint the new news hawks with their new staff duties.

Getting a first look at their duties as members of Advocate staff are (from left above) John Bender, Steve Arnold, Janice Black, and John Cariotto.

Age of Appreciation

Every year many magazines and organizations sponsor contests to encourage creative ability such as art, writing, speaking, or musical performance.

The arts are a growing and important part of our culture. There is an increasing number of persons participating in all forms of art but it is just as important to appreciate creatively as it is to be creative in any artistic area.

There is no better wayto understand

a painting than to 1ook at it, no bet- The above authentic McGuffey

ter way to understand a symphony than to listen to it and no better way to understand a poem than to read it. Knowing who created it and when it was created does not usually help in understanding the creation. Neither does knowing the technique used in creating it help in interpreting it.

If the work is to transfer its meaning ~ithout outside references {which it must do) it must be scrutinized closely with one's own personal responses.

Often, trying to get the meaning that we think the creator had in mind is not as satisfying as getting an experience of our own from it. That is why it was created, so we might get something that was not already a part of us from the artist's experience.

Getting something out of art takes time and thought and careful examination. Everyone, even if not artistic in creation, can be artistic in appreciation.

Art-Personal Truth

It is the glory and the good of art, that art remains the one way possible of speaking truth, to mouths like mine at least.

Robert Browning

Nobody, think, ought to read poetry, or look at a picture or statues, who cannot find a great deal more in them than the poet or artist has actually expressed.

Nathaniel HawthornP.

There are two kinds of artists in this world; those that work because the spirit is in them, and they cannot be silent if they would, and those that speak from a conscientious desire to make apparent to others the beauty that has awakened their own admiration.

'McGuffey's' Emphasized

Morality, Intellectualism

"The dog.

The dog ran."

This is the entire text of Lesson #linMcGuffey's First Eclectic Reader, accompanied, logically, by a picture of a dog running.

The McGuffey's Readers, stalwarts inAmerican schools 100 years ago, were the creation of William H. McGuffey (1800-1873), an outstanding educator of the era.

The six different readers, ranging from primers to anthologies of literature, followed students throughout most of their public education.

The series was designed to teach the child to read sirn-

pie prose, then gradually to move into children's poetry, and finally into classical and semi-classical literature.

MORALITYSTRESSED

Pilled with sentimental tales in which virtue ul tirnately t ri urnphed, th'.) readers promoted the belief that education was primarily moral and secondarily intellectual.

Each 1esson was accompanied by a picture depicting its action and a list of "new" words to help pupils "think for themselves." These words were divided into syllables complete with pronunciation marks which would probably make them too difficult for a present day pupil to grasp.

Sheldon Director Advisies

Individual Art Interpretation

"Enjoyment of paintings is not something purely recreational; any good painting will make you think and will help you learn something through the experience of seeing it."

Dr. Norman Geske, director of Shel don Art Gallery who stated this opinion, feels many people whovisit Sheldon find it hard to understand the works exhibited there.

"The average person is lazy. He doesn't want to really look at a picture and try to understand it. There is no one formula for understanding a picture. Knowing the author and the title doesn't help a bit. The picture speaks for itself.

"wehangpictures in the gallery that have a relationship to each other. We also give talks about the paintings. Reading about painting helps to understand them, but nothing is as good as looking at the picture again and again and looking hard. We must free our own responses to a painting which is a humancreation, totally within human grasp. "

Mr. Geske believes there is no specific meaning to any given picture. One is free to see in a painting what he wants to see. usually the painter paints instinctively and doesn't care what anyone else sees in it.

One of the virtues of abstract art is its openness. It can be anything to anybody; we can find what sati~fies us and get what we

want from it. Painting is the form of art which calls most on individual resources.

"During the period between the 1940' sand 1960' s, abstract art, in increasing abstraction, was the dominant mode of serious artistic expression, Now this dominance is subsiding andgiving way to more representational painting."

According to Mr. Geske, the changing of style in painting is something we have to adjust to. 110ne of the purposes of Sheldon Art Gallery is to provide continuous exposure to what artis ts are seeing and how they are seeing it. Every picture bought by the gallery, we feel, ispeculiar to American artistic thinking in the 20th century.

"Sheldon is primarily a gallery of all media of 20th century American art." he says. We have to have faith in our artists.

Mr. Geske explains that the corning of pop art on the scene is "a rebellion of the new generation of artists against the generation before them.

"The pop artists have kicked the pendulum of very personal art to the other extreme and have taken the commonplace, vulgar, commercial and everday as subjects thus making their art very impersonal. "

Mr. Geske suggests that when one visits Sheldon, he takes time to look at and think about each picture.

Thurnbnailer Rhea Steele likes '1the many friendly people you can meet and all the opportunities availableto everyone" best about Lincoln High. She lists Aeolian Choir, Job's Daughters, and serving as secretary of Peppers as her activities.

"Eating and just messing around" are her favorite pastimes. Rhea considers participating in County Government Day as one of her most memorable experiences.

Her pet peeve is FM disk jockeys.

Rhea plans to attend the University of Nebraska Teachers College.

"Other than the unique architecture of the building, I think the games, students, faculty, and tradition make LHS most enjoyable." This is the opinion of Thurnbnailer John Amgwert, also called "A-J." His acti vi ties include L Club, co-Art Editor on the Scribe board, announcing LHS sports, and his job at KWHG-F'M.

John's favorite pastime is "bugging the 'mashed-potato lady' in the lunch line and shooting the breeze with my buddies. People, especially girls, who diet" is his pet peeve.

John, in the Arts and Sciences Curriculum, plans to attend the University of Nebraska and major in broadcasting at the School of Journalism.

Thurnbnailer Debbie Knight, also known as "Crisco," likes "the senior class and the spirit everyone has" best about Lincoln High. Her activities include Peppers, Aeolian Choir, a folksinging group, and her church youth group.

Debbie spends her spare time "playing my baritone ukulele, attending Keen-Time, singing, and goofing around."

Debbie, in the Arts and Sciences Curriculum, plans to study elementary education at Brigham Young University.

"The great school spirit, the friendly people, and all the cool kids" are what Thurnbnailer Dave Johnson, or "Davey J.," likes best about Lincoln High. His activities include Madrigals, a folksinging group, wrestling, and intramural sports.

His favorite pastimes are "hunting for pumas, sliding down banisters, and just goofing around. The time I rode shotgun on Mike Knaub's garbage truck at 4:30 in the morning" was his most memorable experience.

Dave, in the Business Curriculum, plans to attend the University of Nebraska.

For example, the first lesson in the first reader included the following vocabulary : the " ran

The stories must have exhilaratedyoung readers. What child wouldn't be thrilled reading a tale of a poor widow whoreceived $500 for honestly telling a rich merchant that he had given her too much money, or the heartwarming story of the kindly old man who, being without a family, made close friendships with the birds!

One of the most poignant anecdotes is Lesson 20 in the second reader, entitled 11The Quarrel. 11 In this touching tale two little boys fight over a nut. An older lad solves the dispute by cracking the nut, giving each youngster half of the shell, and eating the meat himself, thus proving the old adage that it is best to eliminate the middle man.

HIGHLYRESPECTED

Hamlin Garland (1860-1940), a noted American writer, voiced his debt to McGuf f ey 's R e ader s:

111 wish to acknowledge my deep obligation to Professor McGuffy for the dignity and literary grace of his selections. From the pages of his readers ... I got my first taste of Shakespeare."

The McGuffe y ' s Reader s were not alone, however, on school bookshelves. Barne s ' Picture L e s s on s in Engli s h lay claim to the ti tie of "world's most beautiful textbook," and with its various engravings it had much to support its boast.

The entir e text of Edward Ward's Th e Rational Method in Reading was divided into syl1 ables with vowels and subvocals marked. For instance , from Lesson 12, apoem called "The s;Juck ing Hen: II ll -J V V V ~rack, ~ack! c,,rack, ~ack! went all the eggs: Out -€am4 the chicktns smal I. 'Cluck-cl~ck, -~luck-cl~ck~ - said.the ~iick ing-hen ; 'I see I have you all ... ' "

VICTIMSOF PROGRESS

With the concept of pragmatism, which endorsed action over ideas , in the early part of the twentieth century, these readers began to be used less and less as newer, more revolutionary ideas sprang up. The quest for better teaching procedures continues today, with such innovations as Project English.

But McGuffe y's Read e r s and others of their ilk will always hold their places as pioneers in the development of a culture unique to the United States.

Lincoln High added its third loss to two previous wins when it fel I to Creighton Prep, Saturday night, 89-57.

The Links were outclassed by the excellent ball playing of Prep.

Coach Johnson's boys were down 26-43 at the half,and never had an opportunity to come back.

The Junior Jays made it official with 46 points in the second half as compared to the Links' 31. It was the eighth win with one loss this season for Creighton Prep.

HIGHS1REET

Black&Red

Jack Highstreet, in the Engineering Curriculum, has participated in intramural football and softball, Reserve and Varsity basketbal 1, has been a Home Room Alternate, and is a member of the L Club.

Jack, who rates his most memorable experience as helping the Links to defeat Omaha Westside in basketball this year, likes the excellent coaching staff and the school spirit best about Lincoln High.

Basketball is his favorite sport because "it is a sport which requires good teamwork plus individual effort to win."

Participation in athletics has taught him good sportsmanship and respect for the opposing team.

Charles Garrett, in the Teachers College Curriculum, presently plans to attend a small junior college for two years before going on to a larger school.

He has earned Varsity letters in football, basketball, and track but considers basketball his favorite sport.

Charles likes Lincoln High "because of the opportunity to gain a good education while having fun."

He rates"when I first made the basketball team" as his most memorable experience.

Participation in sports has taught him to get along with other people and that there is a time and place for fun.

Lincoln High snatched its first intra-city basketball victory, Friday night, by defeating Lincoln Southeast, 66-64.

Coach Alden Johnson's crew was given no rest during the thrilling seesaw battle in which each team scored 25 field goals.

A 16-16 tie at the end of the first quarter proved the opponents were well matched. At the end of the half the Links went into intermission with a meager five-point lead, 35-30.

Immediately after the half, the Knights unleashed a scoring barrage which shot them into the 1 ead, 37 -35. The Knights retained their lead until the Black and Red rallied and ended the third quarter, 51-48.

In the final stretch, with Southeast down by as many as five points, it looked as though the Links had the game sewed up, but, the Knights returned to lead 64-63 with 13 seconds left to play.

Chari es Garrett then sank a jump sho"t to make it 65-64 for the Links. A free throw, sunk by Steve Hanneman with three seconds left to play, iced things for Lincoln High.

'Swim Outlook Great; Team Has Depth'

"so far as over-all depth is concerned, this is the strongest team that I've coached in the five years I' ve been at Lincoln High. 11

Head Swimming Coach Gene Cotter feels that with nine 1 ettermen returning from a team that finished fourth in the State Meet last year, his team's chances for a good season and a fine finish in this year's competition are excellent.

The returning lettermen are Gary Cucinitti, John Farrar, Martin Harris, Steve Heuke, Mike Hlevyack, Phil Lind, King Little, Bob Ripley, and Andy Tontegode.

Coach Cotter feels that the strongest events of the team are in the relay and freestyle.

SQUEEZEDPAST WESTSIDE

After losing to Sioux City Central by three points in the season opener, the Links logged four straight wins over Grand Island, Fremont, Lincoln Northeast, and Omaha Westside.

In the three-point victory over Westside, the Links felled one of the most powerful teams in the state.

Essays were based on the theme, "What Handicapped Workers Are Contributing to My Community." All Lincoln high schools submitted entri~s with no more than five from any school. Entries were judged anonymously.

Judging was done by a mayor's committee. Winning essays will be sent to the state contest; state winners will then be sent for national judging.

Jim, Pat, and Jon are students of Mrs. Merrell Grant; John is the student of Miss Clara Johnson.

Your Cue!

Once again Joy Night is rolling around. Advisers, Central Committee, and auditioners have all contributed "super-human efforts." Planning is in high gear with an excellent them~ selected, acts prepared, and auditioning underway.

Thats 1ouI cue! Practice your act to perfection, be prompt at rehearsals, and give your performances a good old Links try!

One of Joy ~ights founding principles was "to unite small groups of 8tudents in an effort to creat better student relationships, discover talent, and build better school spirit." Keep that in mind during rehearsals.

After all is said and done, this type of motivation and effort, will enable Mr. William Pfeiff to pronounce proudly over sound on March 28, "another Lincoln High job well done."

Another Giant Step

The beginning of this, the second semester, marks an important point at Lincoln High. Not only is it the beginning of the last semester for seniors, it is also a giant step for underclassmen.

It should be a semester ful I of memories and accomplishments for the seniors, and of equal importance, full of ambitions and goals for juniors and sophomores.

Often in high school, we find it is al 1 too easy to put off work unt i 1 tomorrow, or to promise "to do better next semester." Many of us, as seniors, now realize that it is now "later than we think" and that time has run out for "doing better next semester."

But the Juniors and sophomores haven't run out of time. They still have one or two years ahead. If they are wise, they won't "put off for nexi year," because all too soon the "next years" are here and gone.

Let "now"be the word to guide your actions.

Valentines Day Honors Founding Saint, Lovers

"Be my valentine" is a romantic phrase commonto most valentines. Some are made of lace or satin, some tell of unrequited love, and others are humorous and comic.

The name of the holiday is from two early Christian martyrs. One was a bishop in a town 60 miles from Rome. He was persecuted and finally beheaded for converting a Roman family to Christianity.

The other Saint Valentine was a priest in Rome who was thrown into prison for aiding persecuted Christians While in jail he is said to have cured the jailkeeper' s daughter of blindness. On February 14, 270 A. D., during the persecution of Emporer Claudius II, Saint Valentine was beheaded at the site of the ancient al tar of Juno.

ANCIENTROMANFESTIVAL

The origin of the ancient celebration came from the Roman lovers' festival, Lupercalia, held on February 15 which honored Juno, goddess of women and marriage , and Pan, god of nature. Young people then exchanged gifts as a sign of affection. Often these courtships ended in marriage.

In 496 A.D., Pope Gelasius wanted to add a Christian meaning to the pagan festival. He changed the name from Lupercalia to Saint Valentine Day and the date from February 15 to the 14. To this day, the celebration has remained much the same.

Little is known about early celebrations of the day. According to Popular Ant iquit ies, Saint Valentine's Day was celebrated as early as 1446 in England.

During the 1700' s, people gathered on the eve of the day and drew names on slips of paper from a vase. A young man wore the name he drew on his sleeve for several days. This was probably the origin of the phrase "he wears his heart on his sleeve."

In the same time period, elaborate gifts were given to a valentine. Someweal thy men even gave formal balls honoring their young ladies.

Carole Wentink, a Varsity Cheerleader .. thinks coach Loehr is a "great guy" because he put in the good word that got the squad picked to perform for the Shrine Bowl. Their duties will be to march in the parade, practice with other cheerleaders, attend dinners, and finally, lead cheers at the game.

Carole, who likes ''The great senior class and the friendly kids" best about Lincoln High, has been both Reserve and Varsity Cheerleader, president of Junior Girls Glee, president of Coed Counselors, and a member of Student Council.

Although she hasn't picked a specific field, she plans to attend the University of Nebraska.

A Varsity b~sketball player, Charles King says, "school support is as important to a player as applause is to an actor." A big crowd and lots of cheering make him want to do his best.

According to Charles, pep rallies in the ll• h f th' " gym put you 10 t e swing o 1ngs.

By the 1800's, sentimental messages had replaced the giving of gifts. Valentines became very popular in the United States at the time of the Civil War.

Today, American children still exchange valentines with school mates; young and old alike enjoy a sentimental verse received from a friend.

In Great Britain, children receive candy, fruit, and money on Valentine's Day.

In Norfolk County children play a !1'!H!1P similar to tag, in which the tagged person must forfeit some Valentine token.

The suitors in Norwich secretly leave a gift on their girl friend's doorstep. Then they rap on the door and run away.

In Derbyshire, England, single girls circle the church 12 times chanting 'I sow hempseed, hempseed I sow, he that loves me best, come after me now." Their true loves are supposed to appear.

OLDSUPERSTITIONS

An old English superstition says that it was bad luck to bring snowdrops into a house on or near Valentine's Day if a lady of the house desired to be married within the year. Another Valentine belief was that birds chose their mates on February 14.

In Italy, huge feasts are held on Valentine's Day. Sicilian girls stand at their windows the morning of February 14 until a man passes. The girl believes that she will marry that man, or someone looking like him, within a year.

Danes send pressed snowdrop flowers to friends or a Gaekkebrev, a joking letter. Those are signed in code ; if the receiver guesses the name she can expect an Easter egg from him on Easter.

Although Valentine's Day is not a business or bank holiday, it is a worldwide celebration of friendship.

He is in favor of a longer lunch period, but otherwise Lincoln High is a "fine and dandy school."

After graduation, Chatles plans to go to college and eventually be a football coach, salesman, or insurance man ---maybe all three

"Playing basketball is a valuable experience in making friends and learning to work with a group," says Mike Diffenderfer.

He thinks that school spirit is next in importance to the team itself. "You need the crowd behind you to win those close games."

Having a mother who works at Lincoln High prevents his messing around in classes and fibbing about report cards, complains Mike but "she' s always right there if I . " get into trouble.

Mike says his most embarrassing moment came as a freshman in California, when he swam a length and a half of the pool in a swim meet without his trunks!

"Pep rallies in the gym create school spirit as a whoI e, not as a divided group," states Margy Morgan. Representing the views of the Cheerleaders, she adds that the gym makes everyone feel at home sitting with their friends. Rallies in the auditorium are much harder on the Cheerleaders than those held in the gym.

Margy likes the traditions of Lincoln High and pep rallies in the gym best about school. Her favorite expression is "I'm sure."

A member of Student Council, Cheerleader treasurer, and member of a Lincoln store's high school board, Margy plans to go to the University of Nebraska to study to become a dental assistant.

"Victory tonight" is the cry of cheerleaders Carole Wentink and MargyMorganas basketball players Charles King and Mike Diffenderfer look on approvingly.

Scholarships Offer Financial Aid, Opportunities to Deserving Seniors

So you agree with that old " 1 t " saying It' s never too a e. Ha! Perhaps you'd better do a little brain cell readjusting. A more aripropriate slogan would be, 'It's never too early."

It's never too early to start thinking about future plans concerning higher education and training. The reco rd accumulated in high school may be the Prime factor in determining whether or not the student goes on to school.

Many persons are in need of some financial aid for continuing their education. To receive aid, in the form of a scholarship, the applicant must have a better than average over-all record. The emphasis on the over-all picture stresses that a person must start early to build a good record.

GRADESIMPORTANT

Most scholarships offered to Lincoln High seniors are for those in the upper IO Per cent of the class, although some require an even higher standing.

However, there are scholarships, such as the Procter and Gamble grant, which require no exact course of study and designate no specific university or college from which to obtain a degree. It is based on financial need and ability as shown in one' s high school record.

Other scholarships such as the George E. Carlson grant limit distribution to men wishing to major in physical or natural science. This, too, takes into consideration the applicant's past record in such fields as leadership,

Survey. Findings Reveal Status

of Neighborhoods

Mr. Laurence Drost of the County Heal th Department is a man who has been constantly on the move for the last 16 months.

Along with Federal heal th agent Joseph Wallace, Mr. " Drost has conducted Demonstration Project," a survey of the health standards and condHions of the different socio-economic areas in Lincoln.

For the project, Lincoln was divided into three categories: high, middle, and low classes. Five criteria are used to determine in which category an area would be placed. The condition of the houses is a prime factor; others include the average price of the houses, how crowded they are, and the income and educational levels of the family heads.

TWO-PARTSURVEY

To conduct the survey, Mr. Drost and Mr. Wallace covered every block in the city, checking for signs of deterioration and dilapidation, then checking records on the inhabitants. Random sampling in 1000 families was used to compare personal heal th and immunization among the three areas.

"The first-hand part of the " "· survey, says Mr. Drost, is better than 99 per cent accurate ... The accuracy of the random samplings is estimated by our statistician at 96 per cent.

"some of the surprising facts uncovered by the project -were the uncommonnumber of rats and the poor sewage facilities in the area with the lowest rating, and, even more shocking, the low incidence of immunization against several contagious diseases in all three areas.

"Disease is generally more prevalent in the low area; it is reassuring, however, that the highest of the three socio-economic areas is the 1 argest in size. "

"While Lincoln doubtless has pro bl ems to overcome, it compares very, very well with other cities of its " size.

Mr. Drost goes on to say that most residents realize the state of their living conditions al though many have been surprised at the heal th information rel eased.

VARIOUSUSES

There is no sure cure for poverty and heal th areas, but Mr. Drost hopes that his project can serve as a start. He wishes to generate interest in Mayor Dean Peterson's new minimumhousing ordinance and is currently drawing a bill to improve sewage disposal. An ordinance against "junked" cars has already been passed by the City Council.

Neighborhood groups are being formed in the lowest area and vaccine clinics will be set up to raise the immunization rates.

The survey, originally intended ·to last two years, is under consideration for a three-year extension. The findings will be used to compare various disease rates in the three areas such as heart diseases, tuberculosis, etc. It can al so serve to show public opinion on prospective legislation such as fluoridation of water.

For Mr. Drost, a seemingly endless job is slowly bringing results.

Class Points

Help Promote School Spirit

Two years ago the Lincoln High Student Council established a competitive point system between classes.

Under this system a point value is given to certain school-wide activities and individual classes are credited for their participation. These points differ with each new Council and with different Activities.

At the end of each semester, the class earning the most points receives a trophy.

At this time, 25 points are given to the class in first place; 15 for second place; and none for third place. These amounts vary from time to time.

The Council learned of the system at a National Student Council Convention held at Ann Arbor, Michigan, and decided to use it.

"To build school spirit, provide class unity, and encourage more participation in school activities" were reasons, given by student council members, for establishing class competition.

'11leDebate Squad might well be called 11The Travelers'' or something along that line as the second semester tournament schedule shapes up. Traveling around the state and into others will keep the debators on the go.

The Lincoln Sertoma Club presented a mounted copy of the Declaration of Independence to the members of the senior class of Lincoln High in an all senior assembly Tuesday morning.

The Sertoma Club is a national service organization for men. The name is derived from the club's motto: "service to ~lankind. 11

Stamp Would Show Support For Viet Nam; Help Needed

11American servicemen, we appreciate you."

This sentiment plus the reproduction of the American flag could be on an air mail stamp, with your help.

The project, started by a civics class in North Junior High School, Sioux City , Iowa, has spread around the area.

The class members felt a need to show their support of military personnel serving in Viet Nam. To do this , they first put up a billboard outside the school. On it was displayed the American flag and the words "American servicemen, we appreciate you. 11

Someone then had the idea of putting the words on airmail stamps because these would be going to the men in

New Mexico for the national NFL tournament.

In order to have a special stamp made, the Postmaster General must be assured that there is a need and a sizeable market for them. To show that there will be a market, high school Red Cross Councils of the area have been circulating petitions to gather enough support to petition this stamp.

Mrs. Opal Stoehr, girls phys. ed. teacher, says, "The reason we're using it is because it is the most modern approach to conditioning exercises there is. It's used by the Olympic Gymnastic team, so it must be good."

By the way, Mrs. Stoehr broke her toe earlier in the year while doing the final exercise in the booklet!

PEACH BASKETS TO NETS,

Although basketball was created to compensate for the lack of interest in gymnastics and calisthenics, it has grown to be the most watched and perhaps the most popular worldwide sports event.

The immediate success of the idea created by Dr. James Naismith, a Canadian clergyman and teacher , fulfilled the assignment given him by the officials of the Young Men's Christian Association Training School, Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1891. The assignment was to create a sport to occupy the time between the baseball and the football seasons, that is, a major winter sport.

PEACHBASKETSTO NETS

Basketball has progressed

from the barnyard peach bas-

kets, to metal baskets with soccer balls, to the spun

nets and official basketballs of today. The balls are between 30 to 32 inches in diameter , weigh 22 ounces, and have around 13 pounds of air pressure.

Although the entire game has changed tremendously, enthusiasm has never lacked.

At first, basketball was planned so adults could play, and was called "sissy stuff" by the youn~er generation. However, it soon developed into a very "fast" game making it so hard that not many can par ti cipa te.

EVERYONEJOINS IN

However, being a fast game added to its popularity, and soon everyone was playing basketball. Churches, grade schools, and business organizations organized leagues and even the girls got into the act!

The popularity of basketball was so great that in 1894 the YMCAjoined with the Amateur Athletic Union and the first official rules book was published.

The AAUdivided teams into Classes: professionals, registered amateurs, and unregistered teams. These teams are not allowed to play out of their classes.

JOINT RULESCOMMITTEE

As several sets of rules could be used, feelings were those of dissatisfaction so the National Collegiate Athletic Association took over the rules, and a few years later joined the AAUto form the Joint Basketball Rules Committee.

Even with this combination, several variations of the rules still existed; it was not until 1934 that the rules of the game were standardized.

Fromthe original 13 rules , 12 remain among the some 113 rules presently governing college and amateur teams. The rules vary somewhat for girls and the professional teams.

BASKETSON BALCONIES

It seems the gymnasiums of the early days were arranged so that they usually had a running track balcony. The peach baskets were attached to these balconies.

With the bottoms still intact, everytime a basket was made a ladder had to be used to get the ball. Later "pull strings" were attached so the bottom would open and release the ball.

From the balcony, a person could reach in the basket to remove the ball. However, spectators would not only

remove it after a goal, but would also prevent the ball from even going in in the first place!

BACKBOARDSARRIVE

Although one rule stated that the spectators must be 10 feet or more from the basket, it usually was ignored. This was the reason for the installation of backboards.

Backboards were originally made of wir~ which proved -unsuccessful as they would bend with the players' shots. They were replaced with wood. Today, many backboards are made of glass to enable the spectators to see.

This is the first of two articles dealing with the history of basketbal I.

Lincoln High handed North Platte its 14th straight loss of the season Saturday night with a 68-49 pasting, and in doing so brought its own record up to 6-5.

The game got off to a slow start, with the Platters drawing first blood via two quick baskets.

The Links then came back, countering with two baskets of their own. After this, the lead changed hands more times than a 1952 quarter has.

The Bulldogs were on top when the first quarter ended 16-15.

The Black and Red jumped to an early lead in the second quarter, and kept it until the clock had run down to : 06 left in the half, when North Platte sank a field goal and tied the score at 32-32.

The second half opened with a basket by Mike Di Uenderfer which was followed by an accurate barrage by Lincoln High that gave the Links a lead they were never to relinquish. The Links outscored the Bulldogs 22-7 in the third quarter.

Highlighting the second quarter was an unplanned tackle by Charlie Garrett, which brought down a Link cheerleader and matched the feat of a year ago against Northeast, when Sam Beechner knocked a Rockette down.

A large Part of the fourth Period was played byreserves from both benches.

Charlie Garrett was high point man with 23, and Hanneman was next with 15.

Lincoln High, in its tenth contest of a 15-game schedule, squeezed by Lincoln Southeast Friday night, 61-55.

The fast moving Links were led by Charles Garrett, who chalked up 21 points to capture scoring honors. Mike Diffenderfer and Mike Casmer also finished in the double figures, totaling 26 and 11 points respectively.

Although Lincoln High showed a little more spunk, the teams were very well matched as Southeast was out for revenge after a 66-64 defeat at the hands of the Links, January 7.

It was even a closer battle than the score might indicate, as the Knights stayed in contention all evening.

After ending the first quarter with a meager 15-12 lead. the I.inks were un four points, 34-30 at intermis points, 34-30 at intermission. The lead changed hands five times during the second period.

Garrett and Jack Highstreet opened the third quarter with a 10-point spurt to put the Black and Red on top, 46-36, with 3:05 to play in the period. The Knights, however, came back with several qui ck scores; going into the final period, the Links had a slim 48-45 margin.

Southeast took the lead twice in the fourth quarter, but was unable to retain it against the quicker Links.

Highstreet fouled out in the third quarter, and Steve Hanneman in the closing seconds of the game.

Th e wi n , f i ft h f o r th e Links, came after Alden Johnson's squad had fallen to Boys Town, 65-38, and triumphed over Grand Island, 68-59, January 28 and 29.

Student Council Initiates Experimental Program

The Lincoln High student Council has recently passed a resolution setting up an honor program on a trial basis at Lincoln High.

Under such a system, students will be honor bound not to cheat The teacher will no longer act as a Proctor for tests which are given in a Particular class.

THREEMAINOBJECTIVES

"The Program has three main objectives: to produce an attitude of honesty at Lincoln High and in society as a whole, to cut down on cheating, and to form another point for school Pride," says David Beckmann , past Council president.

With the approval of the instructor of a particular class, student council representatives will be sent into the class to explain the program. Some 75 Per cent of the class must vote in favor of going on the honor system.

Three classes which are currently using the Program on an experimental basis are college chemistry, Junior Composition, and health education. Mr. LeRoy Colson, Mr. Robert Eyth, and Mr. David Meyers are the instructors of these classes.

Under the system, the statement "I know of no cheating on this test" will appear on each test paper. If someone is aware of cheating, he wil 1 not sign his paper. When this occurs, an honor rep will again come into the class and discuss the cheating with the members but without the teacher being present. No individual names will be discussed.

SECONDVOTETAKEN

A second vote will then be taken. If 75 Per cent of the students feel the class can operate successfully under the program, then it will go back on the system. If someone should cross his name off a second time, the class wil I go off the honor Program.

If this program is successful in the experimental groups and the Council feels such a program could work at Lincoln High, an election on the adoption of a school wide honor system could take place in the spring student council elections.

"If 75 Per cent of the total vote is in favor of this move, an honor system could be established throughout the school," explains David.

'Hobo Day Is Out'

Says Mr. Bogar

"Hobo Day is out!"

This was the announcement made by Mr. William Bogar, Lincoln High principal, to the senior homeroomclasses.

Calling it an "unnecessary evil," Mr. Bogar said there would be "no substitutes."

"Hobo Day has steadily deteriorated to the point that it blackens the good name of Lincoln High," he said.

Mr. Bogar also stated he hoped seniors will work hard this semester so that all could graduate in June. He made the suggestion that the senior class officers look into the possibilty of purchasing new band uniforms as the senior class gift to the school.

John H. Thompson has been awarded $100 as first place winner of the 1966 Ability Counts Contest; $50 has gone to Jim Ogden, second place; $25 to Pat Tisdale for fourth place; and $25 in bonds was given Jon Camp for fifth place.

Third place winner is Bob Thacker of Northeast High School who received $25.

Hobo Day

Of great concern to seniors and other pupils, is a decision by your principal, after careful and soulsearching consideration, to say that Lincoln High School students will no longer have a Hobo Day. Hobo Day has put a pressure on parents and pupils a 1 i ke, upon the excuses that it is school sponsored, to permit excesses in behavior and conduct which have vi rtua 11y taken away a day of schoo 1. A day of schoo 1 at Li nco1n High Schoo1 costs in excess of $5000.00 for salaries alone.

Parties the night before the event, slumber parties, reckless driving, and other bad conduct have brought about this dee is ion which is approved by many parents, teachers, and students who recognize that a "lost weekend" is not a fundamental right of a high school senior merely because he is a high school senior. This type of thinking, carried to the extreme, would say that everyone should have the right to commit a crime so they cou 1d better understander i mina 1s, or to sin purposely in order to learn how sinners feel. We have enough imp roper conduct and bad behavior in society without having it school sponsored.

We earnestly seek your cooperation and understandina~

Links-A-Go-Go

The spirit and enthusiasm displayed this year by the lettermen during pep ral 1ies and games has been great! Their strong support along with the consistent enthusiasm of the Pep Club has been an obvious asset to the spirit not only of the team members, but also of the entire school.

During the pep ral 1ies, it has been these boys who have supported the Cheerleaders and Pep Club, and thus have encouraged the entire school to participate in the cheers. It has also been they who have kept up the spirit at games, whether or not Lincoln High is winning.

Sometimes in past years, it has too often fallen on the Pep Club and Cheerleaders alonetomaintain spirit during games. This year, both Pep Club members and Cheerleaders will gladly affirm that much of the great enthusiasm displayed during the games has been partly due to the efforts of the lettermen.

We also feel that the fine effort on the part of the Pep Club should be recognized. This year the Pep Club has been supporting the oftenforgotten winter sports, wrestling, gymnastics, and swimming. Its support has been appreciated by both team members and coaches, who feel that psychologically, their presence gives a boost to the morale of the team.

We know that both the lettermen and the Pep Club will continue to show their pride in the school as they have been. These organizations have started the spirit rolling, its up to YOUto keep it going.

Drama 'Nothing New,' Greeks Tried It, Too!

Few persons realize that plays and other stage productions are forms of literature in the oral tradition.

Drama, a Greek term for "action, 11 comes to life when a person pretends he is someone else. Modern art, drama, got its start in pagan and Christian religious rituals.

It is commonly believed that theatrical arts originated among the Greeks during the sixth century B.C., but modern research indicates that the earliest forms of drama stemmed from Egyptian civilization and date back as far as 4000 B. C.

Egyptian drama lacked variety in plot but was rarely lacking in action. Its influence lasted until 400 A.D.

TRAGEDYEMERGES

The Dionysiac festival, the beginning of drama in Greece, originated in Egypt. Festivals honoring Dionysus began Greek tragedy. Although the most important form of drama was tragedy, there was also comedy.

In early presentations, dialogue was unknown in the sense we consider it today. The plays and festivals were contests between the poet-dramatists. The present-day coveted Emmyand Oscar Awards, then, aren' t new ideas, merely modernized ones.

The greatness of the Greek tragedy died with the fall of Greece, but the short satiric mime survived. It continued to thrive in Italy from which the Roman theater eventually emerged.

Although Romans "inherited" the theater from Greece, they never carried drama to its previous height. They were a war-like people, more interested in the bloody battles of real 1 i fe than in culture.

Greecian plays were presented in groups, the last being a satiric comedy to send the audience home laughing.

FIRST ACTORS

About 550 B. C., Thespis introduced the first real actor into Greek drama to take the place of the narrative chorus. He also recognized the need for masks and costumes.

Although Roman drama seemed to die with the empire, a few selections were kept ali v'e by English and Western European playwrites. These have been passed on to the modern world.

During this time drama was spreading in the eastern world. In India, it evolved from native religious rituals. The works of the Indian dramatists were of a romantic nature. Womenentered into the field of acting, a course not allowed in Greece.

More is known of Oriental drama in China and Japan than in any of the other eastern countries. Origins in China may be traced as far back as 2205 B. C. Music played an important part in the oriental form of drama, because dialogue was sung or chanted. Most Chinese plays depict military and civil life.

From China, theatrical art spread to Japan. The origins of the modern Japanese plays began with some sort of religious overtone.

Through the merging of peopli s and civilizations over the span of history, drama has spread, in some form or another, to nearly every country in the world.

Carol Bass says that putting on the opera is one of the most rewarding experiences she has had. the most difficult part is "placing yourself into character."

The closeness of the boys and girls in the senior class and the "great spirit" are 'what she· likes best about Lincoln High.

A member of a folksinging group, Carol plans to stay with them at the university where she will major in Education.

In her spare time she likes to drive Mustangs on race tracks and go to slumber parties.

* * *

Rick Brandt is known around the city as a very talented singer. He is in the Lincoln Symphony Chorale, Boys Octet, and a folk singing e:roup, besides his work in 11The Gondoliers". The opera takes three to four hours of his day.

He plans to attend Nebraska Wesleyan, but is still undecided whether to be a veterinarian or an actor. If he goes on the stage, retirement to a horse ranch in Wyoming will come after he makes his first m~llion.

Rick's life is not all music and work, he also likes to go to parties, ride around race tracks, and clean horse stalls at the fair grounds where he lives.

MARCO

Because Jeanie Dietrich is planning a career in music and drama, she counts the experience of working on the opera as most important to her. Jeanie is hoping to attend The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York.

After many hours of practice she has begun to "feel" her part as Gianetta.· Now she even has a dog with that name.

Jeanie has also been in a variety of musical programs, such as Pinewood Bowl, State Music Clinic, All-State, AllSchool Play, and Irving Operetta.

In her leisure time, she likes to sing, act, and have fun.

Active in Forum, Chess, and International Clubs, Library Committee, Human Relations Council, and debate, Carl ·Schneider also has a lead in "The Gondoliers."

After graduation, he hopes to earn a Ph. D, in political science or history and teach at the college level.

Carl, who enjoys the language program at Lincoln High, takes both German and French.

In his spare time, Carl likes to play piano and read, but mostly, he enjoys discussing politics.

A stauch Democrat, he is president of Teen Dems and editor of the Junior Democrat.

Magnificent State Capitol Btiilding Symbolizes Nebraskans' Aspirations

Every day many Lincoln motorists observe the towering domeof the capitol building. Office workers and students look from their windows at its majestic height. Visitors to Lincoln see the structure rising above the horizon, an indication of the near-by city.

Many persons, however, don' t really see the capitol, they merely look at it. Too often this grand building is viewed with a matter-of-fact attitude, and any interest in the capitol passes as the observer's car moves on its way.

This elegant building is generally considered the nation's most architecturally impressive capitol. It is, indeed, most unique and original in design and structure, and is one of the most beautiful government buildings in the world.

GOODHUESELECTED

Bertram Goodhue, aNew York architect, was selected as the chief designer of the capitol building. A contest was held among the nation's architects, and Goodhue' s ·plans were chosen by the commissioners in charge of the construction of the · capitol.

His plans for the entire structure centered on a sym~ bolic portrayal of Nebraskan heritage. The 400 foot center tower, which resembles a square pillar, stands for the high aspirations and ideals of native Nebraskans. The tower is crowned by a large golden dome. Around this focal point, Goodhue designed a group of two-story buildings which form a 437 foot square. This base portrays the wide, fertile plains of Nebraska.

THE"SOWER"

Atop the dome stands the true crown to the beautiful building. The 32-foot statue of the "sower," a symbol of Nebraska' s agricultural, heritage, keeps an eternal vigil over Lincoln and the surrounding area. The eight-ton bronze-cast statue depicts the hopes, patience, and productive endeavors of native Nebraskans.

Goodhue, along with Dr. Hartley Burr Alexander, a University of Nebraska alumnus, who planned the symbolism of the art in the buil_ding and selected it_s iilst:ripti ons, and Lee L~wrie who sculpted the artistic Panels and figures all contributed to the fame of the Present capitol in the fields of art and architecture.

PAID AS BUILT

The structure, made of Indiana~- limestone, was built between the years 1922 and 1932 at the cost of $10 million. This price included all the decorating, f~rnishing, landscaping, heating, and lighting required. The mQney for its construction was Paid as the caPitol was being boil t.

The magnificent arc~tecture of the capitol Prompted an article in the American Architect of Today which

rial capitol in Omaha; and (lower) the first Nebraska state capitol building situated in Lincoln.

• •stated that the building was a record of successful experiments, .in that it contained the finest tile vaults in the modern world and some of the most unusual wood carvings.

Many of the aspects of the structure had never before been tried in a capitol. In-

•deed the building, known as the "Pride of the Prairies, 11 was unique in its departure from conventional state capitol styles. Although it was designed as a practical seat of government, it remains an impressive monument to the vision and sturdiness of the Nebraskan people.

HRC Sets New Objectives; Special Committees Organize

The Lincoln High Human Relations Council is currently dividing into committees to give the or'ganization a more active, efficient program.

In spite of limited attendance at its last meeting, due largely to "Joy Night" tryouts, the council set up the following'four committees: service project, public relations, program, and fund raising.

LONGRANGEPROJECT

The service project committee will arrange a long-range service project in which all members may participate.

Public relations will be responsible for advertising council projects, promoting membership, and for representing the council in activities with other organizations.

The program committee will be in charge of scheduling speakers and arranging the agenda for council meetings.

BOOSTTREASURY

Bolstering the council's treasury will be the job of the fund-raising committee. Arrangements have already been made for HRCmembers to operate a concession stand at all three "Joy Night" Performances.

Also under discussion were prospective amendments to the

council's constitution which would increase the organization's executive committee, now consisting: of officers and sponsors only, to include chairmen of the committees and also the council's immediate past president

Th~ next Human Relations council meeting is scheduled for tomorrow at 3:30 in 101.

Attention! Math Geniuses Wanted

To Solve Problems of the Times

So you' ve had three or four years of math and you think you know "all about it."

If you're so sure just look at (and solve) these problems taken from last year's National Mathematics Examination.

Problem 1:

Given the true statement: The picnic on Sunday will not be held only if the weather is not fair, we can conclude that:

A) If the picnic is held, Sunday's weather is undoubtedly fair.

B) If the picnic is not held, Sunday's weather is possible fair.

C) If it is not fair Sunday, the picnic will not be held.

D) If it is fair Sunday, the picnic may be held.

E) If it is fair Sunday, the picnic must be held.

Give Up? The answer is "E." Wasn't that simple after all?

The Lincoln High economic classes have recently purchased four shares of Lear Jet stock at $63. 50 Per share.

Mike Knaub was elected president of the investment group; Gary Blum is treasurer.

Problem 2:

An escalator (moving staircase) of "N"uniform steps visible at all times descends at constant sPeed. Two boys, "A" and "z," walk down the escalator steadily as it moves, "A" negotiating twice as many escalator steps Per minute as "z." "A" reaches the bottom after taking 27 steps while "z" reaches the bottom after taking 18 steps Then "N" is: A)63 B)54 C)45 D)36 E)39

The answer (obviously?) is 11B." It maybe arrived by the following process as explained by Miss Francis Buell, chairman of the Mathematics Department.

k :number of steps covered. by Zin one unit of time.

k-tl = Z' s time to travel the escalator.

suction-cup, rubber-soled shoes were not introduced until 1903. Knee guards became essential, especially with the professionals who played their games in wire cages.

Lincoln High slipped one~ again to the .500 mark as it fell to tenth-ranked Omaha Tech Saturday night, 90-63.

The Links held the lead throughout most of the first half, ending the opening period with an eight-point advantage, 21-13. Johnson's squad began slowing down just before intermission, however, and at the half the score was tied 37-37.

In the third quarter it became apparent that the Links wouldn't be able to keep up with the torrid pace set by the Trojans.

The fourth quarter was the Links downfall as Tech, leading 56-50 going into the period, sunk 32 points to the Links' 13,

Lincoln High's scoring was well balanced with Charles Garrett and Steve Hanneman chalking up 13 points each,

Totaling 12 points each were Mike Diffenderfer, Mike Casmer, and Jack Highstreet.

The Links led early in the contest with Charlie Garrett, Steve Hanneman, and Mike Casmer Pacing the attack.

But the Ryan team was not to be denied, and, led by Jim Etter, they caught the Links with 2:36 left in the first quarter and pulled to a three point lead a few seconds later.

Mike Casmer briefly put the Links back on top with a pair of field goals but Ryan retaliated with two of their own to lead 17-14 at the end of the Period.

Steve Hanneman, hampered by three first-quarter fouls, sat out most of the action.

Ryan bolted away from the Links in the second quarter to lead 38-25 at half time.

Although the Link cagers were down 18-12 at the end of the first period, they opened the second quarter with a full-court press and, going into intermission, possessed a meager 37-35 lead.

With 3: 42 remaining in the game, it appeared that Johnson• s squad had things pretty well in hand with a 9-point lead. Then the Tigers rallied, however, and shot to within one point of the Links at 73-72.

Lincoln High was able to retain its lead as Jack Highstreet sunk a field goal and two free throws to clinch it for the Black and Red. It'' s interesting to note that Coach Johnson' s crew played the entire game without a substitution.

Student Projects on Exhibit At Science Fair, April 30

The annual fair of the Nebraska Junior Academyof Science has been scheduled for April 30 at UniverGity High School.

"students are encouraged to participate by writing papers or creating exhibits for the fair," says Mr. Robert Compton, head of the Lincoln High Science Department.

FORMATCHANGED

Mr. Comptonnotes, however, that a major change in the fair's format will be initiated this year. In previous years, any student could be recognized for an exhibit, regardless of its quality or the amount of work put into it. "Asaresult," observes Mr.

Compton, "the fair was overcrowded with pupils presenting poorly-organized exhibits.

"This year, however, students presenting exhibits must include a written abstract of about 250 words with their work.

ESSAYSEMPHASIZED

"Also , major emphasis will be placed on essays which students have written. These must be ready by April 10 to be considered. The best will be read to the public at the fair Essays should not exceed seven minutes reading time. 11

Students interested in participating in the fair should contact their science teachers as soon as possible for further information.

Tickets are 75 cents per couple or 50 cents per person.

Advance sales of tickets will take place through Homr RoomReps

Newly selected members of the 1967 Links Board are (top picture) Fred Schmidt, Mary Fuller, Linda Latzel, John Pelton. (lower picture) Carol Knight, Stan Maly, Tom Howland.

Putting finishing touches on their "Joy Night" routines are: Chauncey Blakely, Julie Roth, Kathy Sayre, Judy Bowlin, John Tucker, Nancy Schrepf, Jan Wallen , and Jack Galusha.

New Policy?

Due to the inconsiderate actions of a few thoughtless individuals, a long enjoyed Lincoln High tradition last year was discontinued.

This year, although there will be an "All-Sports Banquet," tradition has given way to a pol icy newly-formulated this year.

In the past, the A11-Sports Banquet, a highlight of springtime activities, has been open to ill students of Linco 1n Hi g h.

This year, to avoid the misunderstandings encountered last year, a comm1ttee, madeup of representatives from L-Club, Peppers, Cheerleaders, and various coaches, were delegated to plan the All-Sports Banquet.

It was the i r dee is ion that on 1y members of these three student groups be allowed to attend. It was also their decision that it be held on a school night, that no dates be permitted,and that no crowning of a queen and king take place.

Not only is this decision arbitrary, it is certainly not the consensus of the student body. This decision is unfair to junior and sophomore girls, who might have had a chance to attend the banquet, to the senior girls not in Peppers, and to the many LHSboys who have not been fortunate enough to earn a letter.

In the past, this has been an open school event--this new "elite-type" pol icy is a drastic change to which there must be an alternative. Although a certain amount of work and ti me is involved , we fee 1 it i s worth i t to make another successful all-student All-Sports Banquet.

You-the Audience

The participants and workers of Joy Night have done their best to make the 1966 Joy Night a success. However, the only person who can make Joy Night a real success is you--the audience.

' You Are Important

One of my greatest concerns as principal of a large high school in Lincoln is a very personal one. Size is not a measure of greatness, but quality is. WhenI was growing up, I was very conscious of sayings which my teachers would put up in the rooms. Two of these that I remember are:

1. 11Tiny drops of water the mighty oceans make."

2. 11The steady dripping of water wears aw:ay stone."

Daily effort and preparation with a high regard for details can bring us great rewards. Sometimes our greatest victories come to us when we make that extra effort in the face of discouragement, doubt, and defeat.

Each one of us needs to become a unique person, needs to be known by others, and needs to belong to something worth· while and important. In this, we are all alike.

We see many teenagers who are getting this attention by doing good and decent work in school and in our community. we see some who search for this same "center of the stage" feeling by peculiar conduct and odd appearance. Frequently this is only being part of the "faceless crowd."

Read this and see if you can find what has been left out:

"one of my main goals as a senior was to be emcee for Joy Night," states Terry Geistlinger.

He likes Mrs. Maxine Faust best about Lincoln High because "without her I wouldn' t d " have any of the honors I've receive.

Terry has been active in Mimes, Mummers, tennis, all-school play, and Madrigals. He has also served as president of Mimes, student director of the Opera.and he will be a co-emcee for Joy Night.

He was most embarrassed when he said, "Mr. Caldwell, the tenors are singing our note"-they were singing in unison!

"Mrs. Ruth Schwarz, Mr. Bob Eyth's speech class.and the many searching faces" are the things La Vona Reeves likes best about Lincoln High.

Her most embarrassing moment was when Mal Keelan kissed her in front of everyone. (However, this was all in the line of duty as they were performing in the all-school play, Jenny Kissed Me!)

She has been president of her class both as a junior and as a senior , vice-president of Pep Club, president of Sophomore Girls Glee, secretary of Junior Girls Glee, a Joy Night participant, in the Opera, and Madrigals. Usherettes, Red Cross Council, Mummers, and Future Teachers are her club activities.

In Madrigals, La Vona gained "the satisfaction of bringing joy to others, and the family feeling of fun with the group. "

In the future, she plans to attend the Bryan School of Nursing and later become a missionary.

Mal Keelan, a co-emcee of Joy Night this year, says "the duties of a Joy Night emcee are to tie acts together to invoke an informal atmosphere."

At Lincoln High he has participated in Mimes, Octet , Student Council, andOrpheons.

He has had two all-school play leads, one opera lead, and a supporting role in the Mummers play.

Outside school, he has been in Pinewood Bowl community productions for three seasons and had a role in a University of Nebraska lab play.

To Baffle Man I '

c0Nr1Nurn FROM PAGE z Judge's Community Activities

Today, there are two explanations of UFO sightings; V d } widespread and unaccountable Show Wide, arie nterests delusion , or controlled objects in the atmosphere. What is the possibility of intellectual life on other planets capable of sending space ships to earth?

11Some scientists have estimated that the number of inhabitable planetary systems is about 3 to 5 per cent of the total number of stars" explains Jim. "That would mean there are 8 billion inhabitable planets in earth's galaxy alone."

MANYEXPLAINABLE

An estimated 70-90 per cent of UFOreports are explained in terms of meteors, aircraft, balloons, satellites, or hoaxes. However, a significant percentage of reports are unexplained even after competent analysis.

The United Stated Air Force and special groul)5 interested in UFO research examine all reports for their reliability. They are then classified on charts and given names. When all logical explanation fails, they are classified as UFO.

111 believe the Air Force is holding back much information on UFO's," says Jim. This, however, has to be done to keep people from becoming panic-stricken by the thought of an invasion by monsters from outer space."

There are many theories as to the orgin ofUFO's. Some say atomic bombblasts, which can be seen far out in space, have brought additional numbers of space ships from other worlds to see that these bombs sta.y on the earth.

Others say they are: 1. acts of God (angels in flight); visitations by beings from the future or the ~ast, or 3. invasions of aircraft from other planets.

SIGHTINGSNEARLINCOLN

UFO' shave been sighted near Lincoln In 1958, a report was recorded of nine round light sources with one large center source moving back and forth, and up and down as the group moved from east to west over the city.

In August, 1965, a Lincoln train crew reported seeing a saucer-shaped UFO.It had a steel gra.y hull and twinkling lights.

"some UFO re:i>orts may sound strange and rather hard to believe like the time a man reported seeing a sp~ ~emen standing on tot; of a flying saucer as it flew over a dis- · tant hill. There must be, however, some truth in many of the re9orts--truth which modern-day science cannot explain," concludes Jim.

TlllE, TlllE!

Modesty: The feeling that others will discover how wonderful you are!

On first meeting Robert Van Pelt, one is immediately impressed by his shock of snow-white hair and his innocent, sparkling , baby-blue eyes.

He reminds one of a grandfather, bouncing his grandchildren on his knees, but behind those innocent blue eyes is one of the sharpest legal minds in the Mid-West. Robert Van Pelt is this district's Federal Judge.

Robert Van Pelt is a native-born Nebraska.n coming from the southwestern part of the state. His first school was the Stockville Elementary, which he attended through the tenth grade He then went to the Fran~lin Academy for his eleventh and twelfth grades. Next he attended Doane College, his major being Arts and Sciences.

After completing his Law degree at the University of Nebraska, he stayed in Lincoln and entered into partnership with another attorney. On August 1, 1957 , "the big break" came and he was appointed Federal District Judge.

ACTIVEIN COMMUNITY

Judge Van Pelt' s community activities demonstrate that besides being Federal District Court Judge, he is one of the busiest men in Lincoln.

The Judge's past activities include the presidency of the Lincoln Junior Chamber of Commerce. He has been a member of the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce, the National Junior Chamber of Commerce, and the Lincoln YMCA.

He has been a member of the Lincoln Board of Education. a moderator of his church, the First Plymouth Congregational, a Sunday School Su-

Senior Speakers Selection Soon

Interest in the selection of senior speakers has been high this year with 18 applying. All seniors were eligible.

Those who applied before the March 11 deadline are now preparing and perfecting their speeches. At the April 21 tryouts, the presentations wil I be judged on content, suitability for the occasion, organization, delivery, and the possibility for improvement.

Topics will cover areas of general interest to an audience made up of graduating seniors, relatives, and friends.

Judges will be the administration, members of the Speech and English Department, Senior Counselors.and Senior Class Officers.

Council Corner

Student Council recently held elections for delegates to Camp Cheley, Colorado , and the National Student Council Convention to be held in Seattle, Washington, this year.

JUDGEVANPELT

perintendent, chairman of the Trustees. He was three times a delegate to the Republican National Convention, and was president of the Lincoln Bar Association.

Judge Van Pelt's present activities involve chairmanship of the Centennial Committee of his church, and membership on the Board of Trustees for Doane College.

EXPLAINSPOSITION

Judge VanPelt explains the function of his position in the legal system. "All crimes under the laws of the United 1 States, and committed in Nebraska are under the jurisdiction of the court, over which .I preside," Judge Van Pelt says. "The most common crimes are auto theft, counterfeiting , burglary of a bank, and forged government papC'rs and certificates."

Judge Van Pelt' s most memorable cases were the recent Dwayne Pope trial, and a case which lasted four months, involving bousing at Offutt Air Base Probably the most important was a patent case, involving windshield wipers used on General Motors, Ford , and Chrysler cars.

His outlook on life has not changed since he became Federal Judge, but he does feel, deeply, that his position has taught him to "realize the general honesty and desire of juries to do what is right, and also that there are always two sides to a controversy."

Judge Van Pelt is very positive about the need for capital punishment.

"Manymen are of no worthwhile use to our society. Al though no one likes to sentence a man to death, if this kind of punishment deters even a small amount of crime, it is well worth it."

Judge Van Pelt is also interested in the rehabilitation of teenage delinquents

"If something had been done in Dwayne Pope's early life, maybe what happened this summer might have been avoided. But, basically, it appears that Dwayne Pope was an ordinary farm boy who needed money, and, unfortunately, killed for it."

A primary purpose of Camp Cheley is the teaching of new and advanced leadership techniques

Representing Lincoln High in Seattle will be Kathy Sayre, a junior. Going to Camp Cheley will be Kathy Hare, also a junior.

Robert Van Pelt is a grandfather, and he often bounces his grandchildren on his knees, but Federal District Judge Robert Van Pelt is a man who has a job to do, and he does it well.

Class Members Plan Varied Vocational Goals

Are you wondering what the 650 members of the Senior Class at Lincoln High will do after graduation in June?

According to forms recently filled out by members of the classes in home room, about 60 per cent will go on with their educations in institutions of higher learning.

HALFTO UNIVERSITY

About half the class will go to the University of Nebraska; another 10 per cent will enroll in other universities, some as far-distant as Japan.

Some seven per cent will enter the armed services, about 15 per cent wiil go to work, many in clerical or office jobs; about five per cent are still uncommitted as to their future plans.

LARGEFLUCTUATION

"Percentages fluctuate considerably from year to year due to national and international situations, "·remarks Miss Dorcas Weatherby, assistant principal in charge of student service. "For example, this class has a higher percentage of students entering the armed services than classes of other years.

Practicing routines and cheers before the big game are (from left) John Amgwert, Larry Lyons, and Doug Lawson. These boys, plus 10 others, led the cheers at the StudentFaculty basketball game.

The bi-weekly contests are sponsored by the World Herald Teen Section and are open to all students.

Of the 144 entries submitted, commendation was extended to three, with a cash award going to the first-place entry, entered by an Omaha North girl.

The next essay topic is, "what I Would Like to See Invented and Why."

Mr. Robert Eyth, speech and English teacher, commented on a feature article carried in the last issue of The Advocate, dealing ~ith the current fad of "Batmanism."

Mr. Eyth says, 11A comment made by Mr. Dave Myers in the last issue of The Advocate, prompted me to do some research about the famous, dynamic duo, Batman and Robin. After reading an art ic le in The Wall Street Journal, which stated how Batman and Robin were chosen, I made my choice to continue teaching and coaching. Their past experience records simply read, 'HEALTH EDUCATION TEACHERS??' 11

About four per cent of the class expect to enter trade schools, another four per cent will attend commercial schools, two per cent will study nursing, and three per cent will train in beauty schools.

"Also, a greater percentage are going on to institutions of higher learning. This shows that more and more students are realizing how very vital it is to get an education beyond the high school level. "

Brown, Jeter Awe Crowd As Students Edge Faculty

The Lincoln High School All-Star team defeated the Faculty team last Wednesday night 69-67, but it took a bit of doing.

The after-school game, sponsored by the Student Council and held in Johnson Gym, may have been the start of a tradition at Lincoln High.

Boy cheerleaders, leading their respective sides, also provided halftime entertainment with an impromptu basketball game that ended in a 2-2 tie.

STUDENTSLEADEARLY

The students sank a field goal early in the first quarter and drew first blood. The faculty countered with a field goal of their own, and the gamewas seesaw from that point on.

The biggest lead of the game was chalked up by the faculty in the third quarter with a five-point margin.

One of the highlights of the gamewas the appearance of Dave Myers in the warmup, attired in sweatpants mask II II, cape, and Batman sweatshirt.

''ub } ' l II n e 1evab e 1s the only word that can come close to describing the long casts put in the air by Floyd BroMI and the fantastic shooting of faculty team members Bob Witte and Tony Jeter, and All-Star team members Jim Riggins and Frank Wise.

FLOYDPACES S1UDENTS

Brown kept the All-Stars alive late in the game with basket after basket made from 25-30 feet out.

Like the home-town columnists would say: 11A good time was had by all. "

In fact, such a good time "was had" that everyone who attended is looking forward to a repetition of the event next year.

Hi Links!

This is the scene at the Student-Faculty basketball game held recently in Johnson Gym. (Picture courtesy Lincoln High camera Club.)

By Jim Young

There is an aura of mystery surrounding some of Linco 1n High' s 1ettermen, namely, those whose monograms bear the abbreviation MGR.

Most persons do not know what the duties of these Links actually are.

After talking to managers and many of the coaches, one finds that a manager's duties range from handing out towels at practices and assisting at meets to pulling weeds!

Head basketball coach Alden Johnson feels that a competent manager is an asset to any athletic team. "A good manager is almost an assistant coach."

Managers do, in fact, assume many of the minor responsibilities of the mentor; in this way the coach is freed to spend more time in the bui 1ding and deve 1opment of the team. These duties include supplying the players with towe1s and soap, keeping the 1ocker room c 1ean, assisting at meets or games, helping to care for injuries, timing (such as in swimming or track), helping with the development of routines in gymnastics, and some actual participation and working-out with the teams. Digging broad-jumping pits and pulling weeds in the track are also part of their jobs.

For their efforts, managers earn two hours credit (as does everyone who participates in a sport) and a letter. Many managers feel, however, that some members of the student body tend to attach an unimportance to letters earned as managers, and that a manager does not fully receive the recognition he deserves. This, of course, should not be the case. Managers are hard-working, contributing members of any team; they are just as much a part of a team as the players and coaches.

Managers work as hard, and often spend as much (if not more) time participating in athletics as team members.

This sportswriter feels, as does the majority of the students, that managers earn and deserve the respect and admiration due any letterman and that these Links should, as all lettermen, cherish the honor of wearing the Black and Red.

Class A Cagers Capture City Intramural Crown

Last Saturday in Johnson Gym, while almost everyone else was still in bed, the two Lincoln High Class A intramural teams were stomping toward the city championship (s) with a one-two finish.

The Lincoln High teams (listed as Number 1 and Number 2) competed with the top two intramural teams from Northeast and Southeast.

The Links dido' t give the other two teams the chance to compete with each other, as they knocked them off in 1-2 order.

In a playoff between the two LHS teams at the end of the other preliminary contests, team Number 2 defeated Number 1, 47-34.

Floyd Brown provided the sparkplug for Number 2, with his tournament high score coming against Northeast in the second game of the tournament

Spring Sports Outlook. . . Optimistic

TENNIS

"we have a good team," is the comment of tennis coach LeRoy Colson.

Coach Colson has plenty of talent on hand, but lost the entire starting Varsity team of last year through graduation.

Ev en with the lack of experience, it looks as if a good, if rebuilding, season is ahead for the rac- COLSON quet squad.

The sport seems to be quite popular, with 20 boys out for the squad. These 20 fill to an overflow of four the"Ye Olde Tennis Team" placque that Coach Colson hangs on the wall in his chemistry room.

TRACK

coach Harold Scott is looking for the field events to be the strong points of this year' s track team.

John Walters, returning Link weightman, apP ears to be one of the two bright spots of the season. John took second in the state last year in the discus, and SCOTT has al ready approached his best mark this year in practice and is improving steadily, according to Scott.

Dane Heller, returning pole-vaulter, is the other hope for the Link hustlers.

Along with the bright spots, there are the not-sobright, too. 11This is one of the weakest groups in the last 20 years as far as depth goes; we have about 20 men out on a good night," says Scott.

On the previous Saturday, Lincoln High's Class B champions took second place in the playoffs, with a 1-1 record.

The tournament was run the same way as the Class A tournament, except that only one team from each of the schools participated.

The Links defeated Northeast in the first game with an ice-cold 28-22 score.

The second game proved to be too much for the Links intramural cagers , however, as they lost it to Southeast, 36-32, which, incidentally, was their first loss of the year.

Southeast won the tournament with a perfect 2-0 record, Lincoln High wasnext with a 1-1 showing, and Northeast played follow-theleader with an 0-2 tournament mark.

GOLF

"1 think w~ve got a good bunch of boys, and, if they shoot what they' re capable of shooting, there is no reason

why they can' t come in first in the State Meet," says Harry Kuklin, Lincoln High' s new (or returning) golf coach.

Three lettermen are returning to a very strong Lincoln High go lf team, Lance Gloe, Arved Kaulins, and Dick Pelletier.

Reinforcing the lettermen will be sophomores Tom Gwin, Tim Knopp, and Mike McGuire, who show the best potential right now.

The hopes for a number one finish in the state meet are not Coach Kuklin's alone "state" is the opinion of most of the golf team as to what position they will occupy at the end of the season.

The club-swingers open the season April 1 against Pius, and go against Creighton Prep in Omaha, April 7.

BASEBALL

Baseball coach Buford Grosscup is looking forward to a team that will be strong in the pitching and catching departments, but largely untried and inexperienced in the other positions.

Four lettermen are returning to the Lincoln High bat-and -glove squad; pitcher Mike Delaney, pitcher Bob Frame; catcher GROSSCUP Jack Galusha, and infielder Butch Bowler.

Reinforcing the squad will be other boys who gained ex-

perience last summer playing American

As usual, it will be a rebuilding season for the Links, but the season outlook is "rosy," according to team members.

The batmen will open the season April 7 in Omaha against Creighton Prep.

And the sense of birth and being Instills itself in the most aged anchorite.

Bonnets and bows ride proudly

On gaily clad ladies,

And the family, together, approaches the church.

Children are thrilled by bright-colored eggs, Downytoy rabbits, and ducks.

A chance to begin anew

The way of Sorrow and Joy

With full-knowing assurance

This moment is one of Rebirth.

THE ADVOCATE

To March in$ Melody

Left, right, left, right ... And the Links Come Marching In . Ompha, ompha .

These are familiar sounds to everyone who has ever watched the Lincoln High band march onto the field, perfectly in step and arrayed in bright and colorful uniforms of black and red.

BUT,

Are the band uniforms still bright and colorful?

11The current uniforms of the Lincoln High band were purchased by the school in 1947, " says Mr. Orvil le Voss, Lincoln High band director. "Today, these uniforms have just about had it. They were purchased before many of the present seniors at Lincoln High were born!"

IDEA

A school and community-wide campaign has been organized to raise the $12,000 needed to purchase new band uniforms.

Such a campaign is soon to get underway at Lincoln High. The all-school drive which begins April 29 with a kickoff assembly will conclude May 9. During this time, candy and light bulbs will be sold by individuals and clubs to raise the money needed for the uniforms.

"Through entertainment and splendid performances by our bands over the past 19 years, I feel that the community as well as Lincoln High has gotten its money's worth out of the present band uniforms," says Mr. William Bogar, Lincoln High principal. "Now, we are asking the community for something in return. We need everyone' s help in making this drive for new band uniforms a complete success.

THE ADVOCATE

The 'Individual'

Lately there has been much discussion among members of the senior class as to the procedure to be followed at the June 10 commencement exercises.

Last year the practice of promoting the graduating seniors without individual recognition and presentation of diplomas was initiated. The procedurefollowed in this type of program is flipping of tassels from one side of the graduation cap to the other.

The reasoning behind this practice is that the !JOto IJ5 minutes necessary for everyone to be recognized individually was "too time consuming" and "boring" for the audience.

Although the objective of saving time is certainly achieved, something is lost, at least for the seniors and their parents. After a 11, how many times does an individual graduate from high school?

It should be remembered that for some, the presentation of the diploma at commencement is the only public recognition ever received. Also, most persons derive pleasure from seeing friends recognized.

Seniors, under this present group arrangement, don't see their classmates as individuals but instead as one mass. In such a mass program no one is excluded to be sure, but, at t he s a me-time'nO One i s re a l 1y lnclY,Q.§9.either.

Want to Live?

With a five-day holiday upcoming, the streets of Lincoln will be teeming with cars, many driven by high school students. Although we continually read of accidents which cause injuries, damage property, and/or even snuff out 1 ife, most teenagers are still careless in their driving habits.

Teenagers have faster reflexes and keener senses than any other age-group of drivers. Yet statistics show that teens are involved in more than their share of accidents.

Perhaps the best wayto insure safe driving among teenagers would be to follow the axiom, "Always drive as though your parents were in the car."

If each teenage driver would just take his driving habits into careful consideration and then improve one weakness, the roads would be safer for everyone.

Cats-Masters at Relaxation

one night recently, in a week which held six evening meetings in my schedule, I was in the home of a Lincoln High parent. When I entered the living r?om, the first thing I noticed, on a small rug near the fireplace, was a completely relaxed black cat. The only movement was the blinking of his eyes when I came in. What went on in that feline mind I cannot imagine, but I know it could not have been disturbing. HowI envied that cat!

Of course I am aware that cats and people are completely different, and I don't want to be a eat. People can do many things that a cat cannot do, but I thought how complete was the security of this household pet, how well accepted he was for what he could give in the way or. pleasure to the home, how apparently unconcerned he was with the frustra· tions, worries, and work which confront all of us.

we read of the pressures on boys and girls in high school to get "good grades, " to plan their lives for t,he "four or five job changes because of advanced sci enc~ that ~111 occur in tbeir lifetimes, and to become the productive, loyal employees" who will earn good wages to buy the many advantages and goods of our society.

we are entering into a period of growth in our nation where the use of leisure time may become on~ of our most serious problems. This is not because we will_ ha~e more leisure but because we are not prepared to use it wisely.

we have comemore and more to accept the idea that we have responsibilities to work hard, to use every minute in_ some productive activity until the time comes for vacations, whenwemust play hard, or retirement, when we will need to find productive hobbies to pursue, according to what people expect of us.

If we return to the example of the cat who nas learned the lesson of complete relaxation, we can see that here, at least, is one creature that will never die of tension or nervous exhaustion. We can, and should, learn to relax to relieve the strain of incessant pushing and hurrying. We should not apologize for the times in which we appear to "do nothing." Weneed this balance to give us relief from the pressure and to give us a renewal for our work.

A recent issue of Time magazine carried this information in an article entitled "11te Race to College": At seventeen a purposeful boy may well become 'a bundle of nerves in a rat race' .. ,Americans will soon consider at lreast two years of college a necessity. In 1964, some 2,3091,000 students graduated from high school. In 1970, this figwre will go to 6,400,000. 11 The article concludes with a paragraph entitled "Improve or Perish. 11

With these kinds of pressures it is easy to understand why teenage youth is under strains which may bring nervous exhaustion, cheating, rebellion, and poor achievement. A time to relax with friends, a time to relax with a good book, a time to relax alone--any of these may be what we need more than commercial entertainment. I think that commercial entertainment, planned recreation, and more organized groups are not the answers.

Cats seldom seem to be in a hurry; they are completely self-possessed. During the evening, the cat finally got up from his beauty nap, stretched, and walked away so slowly and gracefully that it made me wonder why I moved so fast. As he left the room he looked around as if he were "the monarch of all he surveyed. 11

A balanced life lets us retreat from time to time from pressures.

STATIC

Ah, 'tis that time of year again when many a person's fancy turns from the humdrum winter seclusion to the bright, adventurous period referred to as "Spring."

Nowthat spring has finally sprung in Lincoln, countless boys and girls are taking full advantage of it; not only are the parks and golf courses packed, but the classrooms seem to have become a daydreaming haven.

So it seems logical to ask Lincoln High students, "What do YOU like best about Spring?"

Don Gabelhouse: Bombin' around in the '39.

Penny Davis: Being ableto go on picnics and fly my kite. Larry Hoyer: The blizzard on the 23rd of March,

She must have lots of free time because its filled with activities like playing pool, coloring in her "Flipper" coloring book, studying for chemistry, and "riding with my chauffeur in his Rolls Royce."

Upon graduation, Sal plans to enroll in the University of Nebraska and study physical therapy,

"work hard," exhorts Dennis Carlson, "but be sure to leave plenty of time for fun and games!"

"our teams need plenty of support, especially in minor sports like track," says Pepper Janice Westerberg.

She has been active in Choir, Madrigals, Mimes, Mummers, and Aqualinks (the scene of her most embarrassing experience). While perfonning in the synchronized swimming show she lost her costume and had to hide in the water until the lights went out!

"no' t · n ever give up! Keep trying until you achieve your goal, and makeyour senior year the best," Janice advises.

After studying at Nebraska University for a few years, Janice is looking forward to school in arid Arizona.

Purpose of Malone Center: BY

To Serve Neighborhood

"The purpose of tne Malone Center is to serve the neighborhood, especially the immediate vicinity, to help the residents become aware of what is happening in the community, and ·to help th em become involved in the planning and building of the area."

'Ibis statement is from Miss Katherine L. Tho~son, executive director of the Malone comrnunity Center. She stresses that the Malone Center "has something for every member of the family. Its services are not solely for the youngsters."

Although the Malone Center has not yet completely fulfi 11 edits purpose, Miss Thompson feels that The center is making progress.

An active and strong neighborhood counci 1 was organized in 1964. In 1965 it sponsored a neighborhood clean-up im which tractors and disposal trucks hauled away much refuse from the neighborhood.

There was emphasis on beautification too, which stimulated residents to plant grass and flowers. The council is now concerned with other ways of making the neighborhood around The Center more attractive.

According to Miss 1bompso~ the majority of participants at 1be Center are in the kindergarten through junior high age group.

"Most young people usually attend The Center through high school before losing interest in it." Miss Thompson says that the older girls' interest in dating may be a contributing factor to their waning interest. "However," she says, "those ..moare genuinely interested in The Center rarely turn from it completely."

Miss Thompsonbelieves parent-teenager relationship is the biggest single problem involving teenagers.

11This age-old problem of parents understanding the teenager and the teenager understanding his parents is again the villain.

TEENSNEEDMOTIVATING

"Another parent-child prob1 em is motivating teenagers to do their best in order to be prepared for the opportunities that are available."

A deep concern and interest in people which is contagious to the staff and volunteers is a necessary requirement for being the di-· rector of a place such as the Malone Center.

As far as educational training is concerned, it varies with the field one wishes to enter. "However, it is very import.ant that the person get training in the field in which he will be working. Social work training would rank first for a settlement such as Malone."

Miss Thompson says that an accredited social worker must have six years of education

FREDSCHMIDT

It was summer. After the last frantic weeks of school, I could look forward to three glorious months of sleeping late, working short hours, and reading long into the night.

About two weeks of the summer had gone by when John called, asking me to join his crusade to paint the Malone Community Center. Caught unawares, I readily agreed He was to pick me up at 8:00 next morning.

which means earning a Masters degree. In the last two academic years, he must have spent 16 hours in supervised work per week in an agency where he applies the methods he has learned.

DEMANDFORSOCIALWORKERS

According to Miss Thompson , a social worker should "care about people, be warm and outgoing, and find it easy to relate to others." She says that there is now, and will be in the future, a big demand for social workers.

"People have a number of problems to face today and a real need to have help in solving them. This is the role of the social worker," says Miss Thompson. "Every person has something to contribute and social workers are interested in helping develol) this to the highest potential."

Social workers play an important part in the lives of many people each day. Miss Thompson and other social workers are very busy in today' s world.

The more I thought about this escapade, the less sure I was about it. I had done it again! I had obligated myself to do something I knew nothing about. The misgivings mounted next morning when, armed with old clothes and paint rags, I waited until 9:00 for John to pick me up. It seems he had overslept!

My doubts were dispelled, however, when, under the ex-' pert supervision of the local campus chaplain, our little party set to work.

VOLUNTEERS?

It soon became apparent that volunteers were needed to man the narrow catwalk and scrape the old paint from the area near the roof. John and his brother, Fred, after some debate, offered their services. Once they were on their lofty perches, "Ralphus, "the chaplain, a former paratrooper, encouraged them with some handy advice : "If you feel yourself falling, land on your feet and roll on your right shoulder. You won't even sprain an ankle from up there!"

As they reached newheights, it became obvious that more ladders were needed. One of our co-workers, Carl, offered his. However, transporting the ladder would be a problem

Books, Brochure, Programing Occupy HRC Members'

The Lincoln High HumanRelations Council will conduct a drive to collect books for the Mississippi Del ta area. The drive will begin April 29 and last through the week of May 1. Vicki Clark and Pam Hurst, co-chairmen of the HRC service project committee, will head the drive.

COUNCILBROCHURE

Several council members sPent much of their spare time designing a brochure, showine HRCactivities, for the recent convention of Nebraska social science teachers held at the University of Nebraska.

Richard Crees wrote the text for the brochure and Mrs. Shirley Martin and some of her art students helped to take the photographs. Pam Hurst supplied transportation for students working on the brochure. Vicki Clark and Nedra Simmons, HRCvice-president, served as co-ordinators for the brochure project.

Membersof the public relations committee, and the cochairman, Bill Dahlberg and Kathy Sayre, are making pl ans to publicize the book drive and other HRCprojects.

SPEAKERSSCHEDULED

Fred Schrekinger, chairman of the program committee, is supervising the making up of the council' s agenda for the rest of the year. Speakers will include Dr, Alan Pickering of the University of Nebraska and John Schrekinge~ NU student, who wU l speak on activities of the Student Non-Violent co-ordinating committee in the Mississippi Delta area.

Fred Schmidt, HRCpresident, will co-ordinate summer service projects for any interesting students.

In spite of the many current projects, HRC members are already looking forward to next year and new adventures in promoting brotherhood.

•But next morning, very early (naturally), John, Fred, and I drove to Carl's home to pick up the ladder We placed it on two boards which were suctioned to the roof of the car and tied the ends of the ladder to the roof of the car and tied the ends of the ladder to the car's bumpers. It still seemed insecure; we eyed it doubtfully.

A STROKEOF GENIUS

Suddenly, Fred had a brilliant idea. "Let's run the rope through the windows and secure it from the inside."

So, the rope was entwined through the front windows of the two-door car, across the inner ceiling , and reinforced on the top again The ladder was tightly situated and our problems seemed to be solved.

It was Carl who first noticed that by running the cord through the inside of the car, we had made it impossible to open either door! Our next move was obvious.

First John, then Fred, Carl, and, finally, myown graceful self wiggled through the window into the automobile.

Making our way back to the Center successfully, we found that two newmembers, Jim and Terry, had joined our crew and progress seemed the order of the day We passed the time away in the hot sun, scraping off the old paint, splashing on the new paint, ~11 the while singing folk songs unjer Carl's expert direction.

A new problem arose with the advent of "Project Head Start. " The pre-school youngsters, although very cute, were sometimes annoying. They didn' t seem to appreciate the monumental task we were undertaking. Thereafter, we were forced to keep one eye alert for thrown stones and little boys trying to scatter our tools about the yard.

Bravely we persevered and stood up against all obstacles and three weeks after starting, the finishing dabs were splashed on.

With deep sighs of fulfillment, we all gazed at our "masterpiece." Three weeks of scraping, painting, and dodging stones had brought a deep feeling of accomplishment.

Joy Night Success; Full House f riday

111 was very pleased with the 'turnout' for all three nights," says Mrs. Maxine Faust, Joy Night director. "It was one of the best we have had, especially -in the sense of original ideas, because students got together, worked, thought out, and wrote their own material."

Undaunted by heat, insects, and small children, students worked almost every day to paint the Malone community Center. The entire job took about three weeks.

Students Realize Handicap's Abilities After Taking Tour ofLA.RC School

111be retarded child is one with an exceptionality, a handicap, a problem or a difference. Like all children, he needs to be thought of as a whole child. He develops habits, skills, emotions and attitudes .the same as any other child. 11

This is something many do not understand about such children. To gain a better

understanding of a retarded child's reaction to his surr~undings, psychology students, Jerry Brown, Mike Diffenderfer, Gayle Hugelman, and Barbara Walter, visited LARC.

LARC , one of the six programs sponsored by the Lancaster Association for Retarded Children, is a member of the state and national as-

Amateur Physiologists Study, Type Own Blood

11The circulatory system of the body resembles a municipal water system, consisting of a pump and a complete set of closed metal tubes or • ·11 pipes.

This may be confusing to non-physiology students, but not to the students of Dr. Carl Manthey, physiology instructor. For the past few weeks, hisstudents have been studying the heart and the circulation of the blood.

During this unit, each member of the two classes had the unforgettable experience of analyzing his own blood. First, he learned the difference between red and white blood cells. The first step proved to be interesting, for each student examined his own blood under the micrcscope.

STUDENTSBLOODTYPED

After understanding which cells were which, each individual again had the opportunity to prick his finger and type his blood.

It is interesting to note that all blood is divided into four types, A, B, AB, and 0. "Tests indicate that about 45 per cent of the nation's population is type O, 42 per cent type A, 10 per cent' type B, and 3 per cent type AB,11 says Dr. Manthey.

"connected with these four blood types is the RH factor, a protein substance in the blood. Persons with this substance are referred to as RH positives, those lacking it are RH negatives. This factor is an inherited characteristic of the blood.

In Dr. Manthey's classes, six students were found to be type A-, nine were type A+: one was type 0, 12 were o+, three were 8-, three were 8+,

and one was AB The plus indicates the RHfactor is present.

TIMEFORHEMOGLOBINCOUNT

Wait! Don't stop here! The students must still test the hemoglobin. This is Greek to you? Then listen to this.

Hemoglobin is a red pigment contained in the red blood cells. It is a combination of iron and a protein substance.

This oxygen-contained substance in the cell travels throughout the body, carrying oxygen to the tissues.

The normal hemoglobin percentage for men is 85 per cent, that of womenis 80 per cent. It is interesting to note that the classes' percentages were lower than the normal distribution . The boys averaged 80.2 per cent hemoglobin ' and the girls 76 per cent.

This indicates that students should become more aware of the iron they retain.

CLOTTINGTIMECOMPLETESUNIT

Completing the unit, each student again looked at his own blood sample, this time letting his blood flow into a small capillary tube.

From this specimen , he determined how long it takes his blood to coagulate (clot). After several minutes, the tube was broken to determine if an insoluble thread of fibrin had been produced. The time it took the thread to form determines the clotting time of the students blood.

The classes' average clotting time was four minutes; the normal length of time is four to five minutes.

sociations for retarded children.

In her report, Gayle said, "After visiting the school, you don' t feel sorry for yourself anymore."

Barbara noted that "the classrooms are the same as any other. 11

In these reports, given.to the psychology classes, the students ex plained that "the aim of the school is to develop the retarded child and young adult in all life skills, teach him.socialization, build strong bodies through physical education, and develop proper health habits."

Nat'I. Coin Weelc: Annual Observance Of Popular Pastime

TO all the numismatists (that's coin collectors) in the crowd--your time will soon be here. The week of April 16-23 has been designated as National coin Week, a time set aside each year by Presidential Proclamation for the observance of one of America's oldest hobbies-coin collecting.

FASCINATINGHOBBY

Not only is coin collecting an interesting and fascinating hobby, but for many people it has been the source of wealth. Today, some coins are valued in the thousands of dollars; ma.ny valuable coins can be found in everyday curculation.

coin values are governed by the law of supply and demand, The supply of a Partic,ular coin remains constant through the years, but the number of collectors wanting a particular coin is always increasing--so the Price goes up.

OTHERFACTORS

In addition to supply and demand, coin values are also based on the mintage ( the number of coins made), condition, andpopularity of the series.

If you want to go along with the latest fad, why not take up coin collecting?'You and million of your fellow countrymen wt 11 be taking part in one of America's most satisfying and rewarding pastimes.

Student Achievement Test

Determines Skill, Development

Membersof the Lincoln High advanced printing class recently took a six-hour national achievement test.

The examination, The Trade and Industrial Education Achievement Test, by Ohio State University, measures mental maturity, standard math, and printing achievement and performance.

111 believe that Lincoln High is the only school in Nebraska giving this test," says Mr . WayneOsborn, printing instruct;or. 11 "This is because we are one of the few

high schools which offer an advanced program in printing.

"The test shows how well students have learned fundamentals of printing. Its main purpose is to indicate where instructional improvement is needed in printing. Each student is graded on how he rates compared to a national medi.ao, not to other students."

Participating in the test were Martin Almanza, Al Bloebaum, Carlos Houston, David Kapke, Mike Shurtleff, and David Tuckerman.

Impact of Crucifixion Still Stirs Man's Mind

By STEVEARNOLD

About 2000 years ago, ~n event occurred that has directly affected one-third of the world' ,s population and still indirectly affects every person of the world.

The day is Easter and the event of long ago was the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The upcoming holiday is a day of festival and rejoicing for the Christian world, for it is this day that commemorates that day of many years ago. *

It must have been an exciting day for many people, comparable to the popular Public hangings of the old West. Thousandsof people had gathered, screaming at the top of their lungs for Him to be crucified . They were there to mock Him, to curse Him, to crucify Him.

JEERINGCROWDS

It was probably one of the most exciting ' days they had witnessed. As the crown of thorns was placed on His head, and He trudged up the hill bearing the heavy load of His cross, He was followed by the j eering crowd.

The climax of the day probably occurred as the huge spikes were driven into His hands and feet, and the cross was raised, leaving Him to hang there and to suffer.

It was recorded as a day of enriching excitement for many, at least until He died. People then began to be afraid because, it is recorded,

that then the sky grew dark and the earth began to shake: It was then that they began to wonder whether this man they had crucified really was the Son of God.

The crucifixion was a violent action with screaming mobs present; that which took place three days later occurred in comparative silence. The event that happened so silently, yet gave hope to mankind, the event that was to change the course of the world, was the resurrection of the crucified Lord.

MAJORFESTIVAL

Easter has comedownthrough the years as one of the major festivals of the Christian church. Although the day of commemorationvaries in different sects, all denominations agree that Christ is the Son of God, and that He was crucified, died, and was buried, and that He was returned to life to save all men.

For those who are nonChristian, Easter also has a definite meaning. This one day also has come to stand for the rebirth that each year takes place. Spring is the time when dormancy becomes life again.

Easter has different meanings to different people.

Various meanings have been attached to this day, but the age-old idea of rebirth and renewal of life stand as the moa.t impressive.

'The Status Seekers' Reveals Struggle for Position in U.S.

The Status Seekers, by Vance Packard, is a study of class behavior in modern America. It exposes the obscure motivations that affect home and community life.

Packard states that class lines are subtle but definitely present. He uses four areas as a guideline to class divisions; occupation, education, source of income, and kind of home.

Such factors as a person's word choice, type of car, and paintings on the wall are also symbols indicating a ·different rung on the social lallder.

While the male animal is not quite the beast the ladies imagine him, it is true that his code of public behavior has changed somewhatover the years. This may readily be seen by delving into some of the books published before the turn of the century which were designed to teach !'the art of being a gentleman or a lady."

BEHAVIORDICTATED

In medieval England, the ideal qualities of a gentleman were summed up in The Courtier, published in 1561. In it, "the chief conditions" of a courtier included:

"To be well born and of a good stock.

"To be of a mean stature, rather with the least than too high, and made to his proportion,

"Not to praise himself onshamefully and out of reason,

"Not to carry about tales and trifling news,

"Tobe well spoken and fair languaged,

"To be seen in tongues and especially in Italian, French, and Spanish,

"To fellowship himself not for the most part with men of the best sort and with his equals, so he be also loved by his inferiors."

In addition to these, the following skills were considered admirable, as long as they were not done "openly."

The book offers facts and figures on a topic that is usually only opinion. The author relied on intensive investigation, interviews, and on-the-spot checks to authenticate his information.

Dave Wins Contest

Dave Beckmann, LHS senior, has wonthe Knights of Pythias speaking contest on the regional level. Speaking on the topic 'Liberty Regulated by Law, Dave will now go on to compete on the state level April 30.

VICTORIANCODES

Time passed and so did the courtier. However, a great deal of emphasis was still placed on manners, especially in Victorian England and the Eastern United States.

To keep informed on the many and various habits in vogue, many men relied on Etiquette for Gentlemen, written in 1836 "by a gentleman,"

Etiquette for Gentlemen would probably seem an ironic title for the book today, since it advocated that "A man of fashion must never, allow himself to be pleased.

Most of its rules for behavior were superficial rather than sincere attempts to develop the social amenities.

For example, womenwere not spoken of in male conversation because they were believed to be "bores and... (were) to be treated with refined rudeness."

"Atrue gentleman" went out of town for the summerand if he could not afford the expense he was to "merely close his window-shutters and appear to be gone."

In dictating styles of clothing, Etiquette for Gentlemen stated that "dress should always be consistent with age and natural exterior ... However ugly you may be, rest assured that there is some sty 1 e of habiliment

The book did have some good, down-to-earthpractical advice, however. For instance, it advocated that "soup be taken with a spoon!"

Gentlemen were also cautioned that if one "accompanies his wife to a dance, he should be careful not to dance with her."

The book closes by exalting bachelorhood, saying, "a bachelor is a person who enjoys everything and pays for nothing; a married man is one that pays for everything and enjoys nothing."

SOMEDIINGFORDIE LADIES

With such "strict" rules of behavior being dictated to the men, it would be unfair not to mention etiquette standards set for the ladies during the same period of time.

Published in 1891, Talks to Girls, by Eleanor A. Hunter, laid the groundworks for "an ideal womanhood."

"Many girls do not think much of their duty to their boy friends ... a girl has great influence over a boy... and she should always use it rightly."

But the day of superficial manners is over. Today, a more genuine, personal approach is demandedby society. Etiquette books are still being sold, but it takes more than "Dapper Dan" manners to make a good impression on one's peers and elders!

All-Out Effort Urged

continued from page 1

"we would like to buy 120 new uniforms at a cost of $100 each. We hope to get a dual-purpose uniform--one with an overjacket--so it can be used for either marching or concert performances.

11If we go over the top, we can also pay the nearly $1700 still owed on choir robes buy a concert grand piano for the orchestra, and a stereo tape recorder for voice classes.

"It is my sincere hope that everyone will plan to help sell when the campaign begins April 29. The whole school will benefit. 11

According to Mr Bogar, top sellers will compete for prizes: a television set, radios, a tape recorder, and a record player. Sizable cash prizes will go to clubs which sell the most.

What Does A Fellow Do For Early Morning Blues?

When you get up in the morning, do you feel tired, sluggish, run down, headachy? Well, if you do-(no, this isn't a commercial)you're not alone.

Students attending school in the wee hours of the morning may not especially like getting up so early and at the time may not even know what they're doing

Let's take a trip through never-never land and see what these students think of first thing in the morning.

Sue Lyons: "Where am 1? 11

Tony Shottenkirk: 111 think of myself."

Bill Schlegel: 11Girls! 11

Tanya Black: 11Where I left my shoes the night before."

Linda Nelson: 'lwhat 'disease' can I come down with today?"

Janet Garner: 111s anyone in the bathroom?"

Mary Newton: "Whether to get up and go, or find something to be sick about and stay home. 11

Girl Blunder: 111 don't think, I'm too dead! 11

Terri Wheeler: "Food! 11

Sue Bartow: "How my hair's gonna look."

Jim Ogden: 11A bucket of water. 11

Nancy Goggins: "How many more days till Saturday?"

Acquire Knowledge Through Books National Library Week,

April 17-23

Amy Zimmerman: 11How did I ever get tangled up in that sheet?"

Marsha Finkel: "I'm hungry! 11

Jeanine Duncan: "Did I finish my homework:"

Lynn Jensen: "How I would like to go back to bed and sleep. 11

Julie Roth: "Pray for a half foot of snow!"

Although teachers and students don't always agree on everything (isn't that the truth!) , the general consensus of getting up is tied closely together. Teachers, when asked the same question, answered like this:

Mr. Osborn: "Try to get to school on time."

Mrs. Herbster: 111 wonder if I can con my husband into getting the baby up and dressed. 11

Mr. Pfieff: "Another opportunity for a job well done at LHS."

Mrs. Siefkes: "Trying to decide what needs to be done specially for the classes that will be coming into the library that day. 11

Mrs. Schwarz: "Another day!"

Miss Dumpert: "Well, I'm glad I'm alive! 11

Mr. Myers 111 think of Mr. Eyth's escapades as the campus Don Juan when we were in college together 11 (ha! ha!)

"The man who does not read is no better off than the man who cannot read."

To encourage reading and to make everyone aware of the services of the Library is the purpose of the National Library Week which this year will be in full swing from April 17-23.

Mrs. Ruth Siefkes, Lincoln High Librarian , and assistants are busy putting up displays and posters.

Events that will take place during this week are various radio programs with public school and city librarians in panel discussions, and the introduction of new books to encourage people to read.

Debaters Win Third In State Tourney

Lincoln High debaters brought the current season• to a close with their participation in the state tournament held at the University of Nebraska, March 25 and 26.

The Debate team of Margy Angle and Carol Schumacher placed third in the tournament. 1bey lost in the semifinals to a team from Omaha Central that eventually Placed first.

'lbe first-place winner will now enter the national tournament, to be held this summer in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The seniors won the Class Competition points for the Joy Night attendance, edging the juniors by only five Points.

Thinclads Capture First City Relay Crown

The Lincoln High track team, coached by Harold Scott, easily captured the City Relay title in the City Relay Meet, held in the oval, Friday. It was the first time such a meet has been held.

The Links chalked-up 79% points for first place; Northeast was second with 55 points; Southeast scored 50% and Pius, 34.

Standouts for the Black and Red were seniors John Walters and Charles King, who took first place honors in the discus and shot put, and broad jump and high jump, respectively.

Lincoln High captured first places in the 400-yard shuttle high hurdle relay, the 440-yard relay, the mile relay, the high jump, broad jump, discus, and shot put.

Tossing the disc 151' 10'' Walters fell only one-half inch short of last season's district record which he set as a Junior.

The Junior Class won the 60th annual Interscholastic Track Meet, last week, by amassing 551 points to the Sophomores' 338 points and the Seniors' 231.

The meet, which was originally slated to begin March 23, had to be rescheduled due to bad weather and poor running conditions.

The juniors' main asset in copping the first-place title lay in the strength of numbers rather than individual standouts. The downfall of the Senior Class stemmed from the fact that only eight seniors competed in the meet, four participated in field events with the rest competing for track honors.

Senior Charles King leaped 21'5%'' in the broad jump to take first place. King's jump was the second best distance ever recorded in the meet, first held in 1906. King also took first place in the high jump by leaping six feet, third best in the history of the meet.

John Walters, who placed second in the discus in last year's State Meet, tossed the platter 154'8'' for the Senior Class; this also was the second-best distance ever achieved in the meet. Walters also took first place in the shot put. The meet record for the discus is held by Howard Debus who, in the 1940' s, set a national record which stood for several years.

Junior Gary Paulson ran the high hurdles in 16.1 seconds, only one-tenth of a second short of the meet record set in 1956.

Unusual

Feats Provide Fun, Challenge to Record Setters

With warmer weather(?) in the air and "the fever" relentlessly taking its toll, winter-weary persons want to get out and do something different. Well, if you happen to be one of these unfortunate(?) persons, but don't seem to know what to do, then how about setting a record?

RECORDSIN SPORTS

After all, 1119-year-old Jim Bakich of San Jose, California, set some kind of record by revolving in a ferris wheel for 337%hours."

In the seesaw rage some years ago, contenders in Hayward, California, broke what they understood to be the 172-hour teeter-totter record. Still tottering, they learned that the world's record was really 200 hours. So they decided to teeter on and pass the 200 mark.

"It was lucky they found out," observed a bystander. "If they had quit too soon it all would have been a waste of time. "

WHOSLEEPS?

A Luzonese girl danced for some 172 hours without stopping.

If you happen to be the baseball type, try something as Jimmy Johnson did. He stole 124 bases in one season for San Francisco in 1913.

Babe Ruth hit 125 home runs in one hour for an exhibition at Wrigley Field, Los Angeles, February, 1927.

Gus Sundstorm swam 100 yards under water without using his arms.

Two Scandinavians rowed across the Atlantic Ocean in an 18-foot row-boat, fromNew York to the port of Havre, France, in 62 days.

"BOWLEGGED"ARMS?

A Hindu Urdhabahu held his arms above his head for 20 years!

Then, for those who love to fight, the longest duel on record lasted for 19 years!

The "he-men" may be interested to know that Mr. G. A. Taylor, at the age of 64, lifted 175 pounds with his ears!

But, of course, there are those who like to take life easy and in its own stride through the years.

Some persons set records through mental rather than physical prowess. Professor Rasmus Christian Rask (17871832), of the University of Kobenhavn, a famous Danish linguist, spoke 230 languages 11AT EASE!"

Charles James Patrick Mahon, famous as 'The O'Gorman Mahon' of Ennis, County Clare, Ireland ... accumulated more active army ranks than any other mortal. He was a Colonel in the Irish Militia and in the armies of Turkey, Russia, Austria, France, Brazil, Nicaraqua, Costa Rica, Peru, and the United States. He was a General in the army of Uruguay, Admiral of the Chilean Navy, and Governor of a Nicaraguan Province.

How about Herr Heinrich Laufer who kept one eye closed for 90 days.

KERR-CHEW!

For those who like real challenges, try to beat James Lanvier of Edinburgh, who in 1927 sneezed 690 times in succession. However, this takes a little more skill. (A bad cold helps, too !)

Fred Patzel. from Nebraska, is the champion hog-caller and can be heard for three miles.

A Chinese priest in Shanghai grew the longest finger nail. It was 22 3/4 inches and took him 27 years to grow it! Now girls, what do you say to that?!

These are just a few of the many unusual feats that have occurred in history. There is still the present and the future to accomplish many more. All it takes is a little imagination, skill, nerve, stability, and sacrifice, that's all!

With derisive comments sailing back and forth across the net as fast as the ball , one knows just by looking and 1 istening that the intramural volleyball season is in full swing, although it will end tomorrow night.

Volleyball teams aren't divided into A and B leagues as in most of the intramural sports .. everyone battles everyone else.

After the present tournament, the first and second place teams will be eligible

to compete in the Extramural Volleyball Tournament at Lincoln Southeast. At press time, the top three teams were Peterson's Blunders, Highstreet Surprises, Heuke's Heroes, and the Faculty.

According to Mr Neal Hafemeister, director of intramurals at Lincoln High, if the faculty should win the tournament, a playoff would probably be arranged between the faculties of Northeast, Southeast, and Lincoln High.

BOWLER

Butch Bowler has participated in Reserve football, Varsity basketball, and Varsity baseball.

Butch enjoys playing both basketball and baseball, but considers baseball his favorite sport because he has been able to participate on the Varsity level in baseball more than in basketball.

His favorite pastimes are traveling and watching professional basketball on TV,

His most memorable exIErience came last year when he was a starter with the baseball team which went to the State Championships.

Butch likes Lincoln High because the teachers and coaches recognize the individual' s problems and tr;y to help him improve.

Participation in athletics has taught him sportsmanship and cooperation with others. After graduation he plans to attend Metropolitan Junior College in Kansas City, Missouri.

The award, presented to one athlete from each of GALUSHA the Lincoln high schools, was accompanied by a $100 scholarship.

This is the second such award that Jack has received this year. He also received the KLIN Sportsboosters' Award recently.

Jack is a letterman in football, where he wa& a standout as an all-around back, and baseball, where his catching has prompted Coach Grosscup to regard him as one of the team's strong points.

Spring has come to Lincoln for another year--even if it is kind of off and on

And with spring have come the spring sports--tennis, golf, baseball, and track.

Team members are outdoors now , working to perfect various skills and increase stamina

Spring sports bring headaches for coaches, just as any other sports do. In addition to the problems of filling holes (winter's contribution to the playing fields), there are those gaps left by graduating squad members Oneof the saddest tasks is filling holes left by lettermen whohave elected to pass up a year of eligibility.

UNNECESSARYPROBLEM

In this scribe's opinion, the last is an unnecessary problem, in most cases. Why these gifted athletes don't make use of their skills remains a mystery--to the less talented, anyway

While-there are some cases where the withdrawals are justifiable, there are also some cases where the missing Link could just as well be out for the sport, rather than "clowning around" after school.

PELLETIER

Dick Pelletier , in the College Prep Curriculum, has participated in Joy Night, the Opera, intramural volleyball, and Varsity golf.

His most memorable experience came when he shot a 74 at the Lincoln Country Club on the first day of the Men's City Golf Tournament

Dick likes the friendliness of the students best about Lincoln High. He was most embarrassed when his pants ripped out just before going on stage at this year ' s Joy Night.

Participation in athletics has taught Dick patience, perseverance, and sportsmanship.

He plans to go on to the University upon graduation this June.

Possibly , laziness is not the cause for "sports dropouts. " A dislike for a coach or a team member might enter into the picture .. but learning to get along with almost everyone, like it or not, is not only a necessity in sports, but is a neccessary part of our way of life.

A 'Second Chance'

Give them a chance--if you stint them now, tomorrow you'll have to pay a 1arger bi 11 for a darker i 11.

Dennis A.McCarthy "Give Thema Pl ace to Play"

Much spirited and sometimes bitter discussion has arisen in Lincoln over the Job Corps Center, scheduled to be activated at the former site of the Lincoln Air Force Base.

Some Lincolnites are opposed to the idea, feeling that they don't want "these kinds of persons" in Lincoln. Others feel that it is every citizen's responsi bi 1 i ty to see that these boys are trained to work in today's world.

Whether the project is good or bad is not for us to say. What li important is that every American realize the need for an activity such as the Job Corps.

The Corps should be an example to us, the students of Lincoln High. These boys have fln~!!r learned, almost too late, that education l~ important. They have tried to make it on their own, but have failed. Now they must take time to receive their "second chance" to become "somebody." Surely, this time they won't pass up the opportunities to better themselves!

All this should point out to us that education l! important to our futures. Our opportunities are here and now, at Lincoln High. If we take advantage of what is being offered to us, wewon't need a "second chance."

Unfortunately, the people to whom this editorial applies will not read it. Neither will they 1isten to the advice of teachers or parents; they will not look at the facts. Perhaps, the sad experiences of others who

felt as some students do now will be the way to convi nee them. Let's hope so!

'Early Start in Politics

Molds Responsibility'

"There is, very definitely, an increasing role for young people in today's politics, 11 says Mr. J J Exon, Lincoln business man and former campaign manager for Governor Frank B. Morrison. "By 1974, 70 per cent of all persons of voting age will be 35 or II younger

Mr. Exon, the father of two teenagers, believes that young people should take an active part in politics as a preparation for their later participation 1n voting and party activities.

Mr. Exon has had a continuing interest in politics since his youth. His parents were both active contributors to their chosen r.a.rties; he was reared "in the school of thought that believes all citizens should contribute some time to the cultivation of an informed background for mature voting. 11

In the matter of mature voting, Mr. Exon believes the public is generally well informed about the candidates by the time of the election, but that they are not as well informed as they should be about the issues--the real points of the campaign. "Often these persons vote for personalities rather than for issues. This is a dangerous practice.

MR. EXON

their businesses." He feels that althoughhehas actively entered politics and has spoken candidly on various issues, his business interest has not been hurt to any great extent.

Many who have witnessed the seemingly chaotic party conventions on television often fail to see how any valuable decisions can be reached in such a confused atmosphere, Mr. Exon , who attended the 1964 Democratic Convention, explains that the majority of the issues are decided "behind the scenes, where much more is accomplished t:1an the public is aware of.

VOTERSNEEDENLIGHTENMENT

"To improve this situation, the parties must produce, for voter enlightenment, more information explaining campaign issues However, the vast sum of money needed to produce this literature is not readily available , 11 he notes.

Mr Exon's duties as a campaign manager included the organization of the campaign and the allotment - of money. He supervised the raising of funds and acted as the gobetween for the press and Mr. Morrison.

Mr Exon had "many and varied experiences, all tremendously interesting, during Mr. Morrisons' s first campaign."

He noted that one of the most gratifying results; of his term as manager was "meeting many of the state's finest people with whomI later became close friends."

Mr. Exon stressed that although the effort spent on politics and campaigns does take much time from one's business, "it is worth it, especially if those you support, win. Another reward you get from participation is the satisfaction of supporting a cause in which you staunchly believe whether you win or lose.

REWARDING

"If the campaign is a success, there is the additional reward of seeing the policies you believe in put into action , If I didn't think it was worth mytime, I wouldn't be involved,"

Mr. Exon is indeed involved and thinks it sad that more businessmen are not actively engaged in politics. According to him, "Many are hesitant about entering politics; they fear it will hinder

With the voting age set at 21, it would seem that today' s teenager would occupy only a spot on the sidelines in the political arena.

Nothing, however, could be farther from the truth for many teens. Political candidates of both Parties have discovered that teenagers, because of their enthusiasm and vitality, are ideal campaign workers,

TEENSWORKHARD

Norbert Tiemann, candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, has averitable army of young workers willing to sacrifice both time and energy to help "their candidate" win. The organization, "Teens for Tiemann, 11 is headed by Lincoln High junior Mary Schneider.

Likewise, Lt. Governor Phillip Sorensen, seeking the Democratic nomination for governor, sponsors a caravan, composed largely of teens, which travels to various points throughout Nebraska in behalf of his campaign.

Two very active "politicians" attending Lincoln High are Jon Camp and Carl E. Schneider.

"Although there is much confusion, the American people have come up with no better way for selecting candidates. 11

AGAINST'BLIND' VOTING

Mr. Exon, although a strong supporter of the Democratic party, is against blindly voting a one-part ticket. He feels '\no party has a monopoly on the best minds and abilities of the country. 11

It is to prevent just such blind, senseless voting that Mr, Exon stresses the need for an early and active part in politics. "Many young people helped in the last election; they made themselves useful at headquarters, running errands, answering telephones , putting up signs , and packaging campaign materials."

This is good experience, he believes, but he would also like to see required courses rn political science introduced into the high school curriculum.

"These should not be taught on the partisan basis, but rather should be designed to stimulate general interest and increase knowledge. 11

Mr Exon has not definitely decided whether the voting age should be lowered to 18; he doubts if teens are know1 edgeable enough in the field of politics to make mature choices He believes the courses in Political science he advocates could be of help in this area.

TEENCLUBS

He would also like to see clubs, based on the themes of the Young Democrats and Young Republicans organizations, introduced into high ~chools as well as into the colleges where they now function.

Cafeteria Serves Students

Good Food at Low Cost

Hotdogs, Pie, popcorn! Whatever are your favorite foods, they are probably served either in the cafeteria or the lounge which caters to teenage tastes and appetites.

According to Lincoln High cooks, the following items seem to be most popular with students and faculty:

The favorite hot dish served in the cafeteria is the meat and potato plate. About 1200 portions are sold when this dish is served,

Hot rolls also seem to be enjoyed by many. About 100 dozen rolls are baked and consumed when they are on the day's menu.

SCHOOLBOYSFORSCHOOLBOYS

Over 1200 schoolboy sandwiches and 1000 hot dogs are sold in the cafeteria on days when they are on the menu.

"Past experience is the key that helps me estimate how much food to Prellare, 11 says Mrs. Hilda Kargo, cafeteria supervisor. "on the average, 1900 Persons eat lunch daily in the cafeteria. The cafeteria seats 500 Plus the faculty dining rooms. The average amount sPent for lunch in the cafeteria is 25 cents. 11

The submarine sandwich is the most .popular dish in the lounge: hot dogs are also a favorite.

Parlez-vousfrancais?

Before you venture a yes, maybe you had better re consider. Remembering the recently given National French Test, many students who were formerly fairly sure of their French educational background are now beginning to wonder.

The national test, given APril 21 and 22, was administered to all first, second, fourth, and one class of third-year students at Lincoln High, and 24 students from Millard Lefler,

For the last few years, the average scores on the test, which is intended to be quite difficult, have remained around 50 per cent.

The National French Test covers all asPects of the language, from grammar to reading and oral comprehension to a test of the student ' s cultural knowledge of France,

The newly-organized Student the attention of the Drivers Council on Traffic Safety held its first meeting April 5. This group, sponsored by the Ori vers Training teachers, is presently composed of approximately 25 juniors and 25 sophomores.

Because its official acti vities •will not actually start until next year, seniors were not included.

Twenty-five incoming sophomores will be chosen next year, thus enabling all three grades to be represented.

NAMEMISLEADING

"The council's name may be a little misleading to some. The group which is completely independent of the Lincoln High School Student Council will not be concerned solely with traffic safety, but will attempt to foster safety consciousness in students at Lincoln High, 11 explains Mr. Don Luedke, faculty adviser.

11This will be accomplished through various safety programs such as posting the names of Lincoln High traffic offenders and by arranging various assemblies such as the one held recently. The Council will also send delegates to the Governor' E Safety Conference in the fall."

Similar Traffic Safety Councils have been organized in other Nebraska schools. It was recently brought to

Training teachers that Lincoln High is falling behind in this respect.The Council was formed and made a charter Safety Association.

EXPERIMENTALBASIS

According to Mr. Luedke, this group is being formed on an experimental basis, and no set constitution or program will be drawn up until next year

To carry on its business, _ the Student Council on Traffic Safety has established five committees. These, headed by juniors with sophomore cochairmen, include: Program, Special Affairs, Finance, and High School Traffic Safety.

At its first meeting, the group elected officers. Those chosen were Eileen Sommerhauser, president; Marty Harris, vice-president; Nancy Chesnin, secretary; and Valdeen Smith, treasurer.

Whether he prefers eating in the cafeteria or lounge, the Lincoln High student can be assured of getting quality food at reasonable prices. Where else can he dine for 25 cents?

'Billy Budd' Invades Project English

As Melville Classic Comes to Life

A group of students in Mrs. Merrell Grant' s Project Eng1 ish 11 classes recently gave a dramatization of the trial scene from Herman Melville's Billy Budd.

Mrs. Grant's second period class, under the direction of Mr. Jim Findley, student teacher, went "all out," using costumes, make-up, and props for the presentation.

IMPRESSMENT

The story deals with Billy Budd, a merchant seaman, who is impressed into the British Royal NavY against his will.

Accused of conspiring to mutiny, Billy Budd strikes and kills his accuser in the presence of the ship's captain.

On trial, Billy's defense attorney points out the injustices of impressment and notes that if Billy is con-

vic~ed, a r?al m~tiny might Clerk Nancy Robinson begin as Billy is popular with his shipnates.

THEJURY DECIDES

In Melville's novel, Billy Budd is convicted and hanged. In Mrs. Grant's classes , however, the students voted with most classes voting to aquit the prisoner. The second per~od class resulted in a hung Jury.

The dramatization served as a writing lab for the students , with the attorneys writing their own final arguments. The dialogue was taken largely from an adaptation which appeared in Literary Cavalcade.

The c ast second period included: Billy Budd Captain Judge Frank Holt Iris Krumins Connie Poague

Time, Band Marches On! HISTORYIS ONE OF CONTINUINGPROGRESS

By Steve Arnold

Any team or organization is only as good as those who support it; Lincoln High is no exception.

The Lincoln High Band has been instrumental in supporting LHS teams and promoting the school's image throughout the past 56 years.

INITIATEDIN 1910

The oom-pah-pahs and the blare of trumpets first resounded(although very informally) in 1910. The band made its first formal (?) appearance in the fall of 1912, and a new era had begun atLHS

A statement written by "chick" in the 1914 Senior Issue of The Advocate probably best describes the emerging organization. »The Lincoln High School Band first made its appearance in the fall of 1912 with a membership of about--well, the membership was very indefinite.

"Whenweused to start from the High School to play for a football game, there would be about fifteen in a line, but when the 'Band' had reached Eleventh and o, those who had delicate ears or feeble constitutions were forced to retire and leave the job to those five or six who were able to stand it and who didn't care much for their reputations."

From this meager beginning , progress must have been made because The Advo ca te of 1915

states that "America' s greatest high school Band is one of the largest and finest organizations in Lincoln High School."

It seems, also, that being a Band member at this time carried with it certain privileges as well as certain res pons i bi lit ie s. From The Advocate of 1915 comes a statement from one of the earnest Band members, "we practice two noons a week and get 1/4 credit a semester. Also members of the Band get into track meets and football games on their faces."

ON, TRAMP,TRAMP

Time marches on (along with the Band) The year 1917 ma~ked the first time that uniforms (or reasonable facsimiles) were worn. Also, in 1917, the Band was organized into a military aggregation including all of the ranks.

Womansuffrage gained much success throughout the country around 1920, and the Lincoln High Band became involved, along with the rest of the nation. In 1920, girls first appeared in the Band and it is reported that "they held their own, being well able to keep up with th<! boys."

In 1921 , the Band wore uniforms of red and black caps and khaki shirts (there is no record of the pants-if any) , but things were soon to change. In 1922, the Band was decked out in brand-

spanking-new blue and white uniforms, thanks to the united efforts of various musical organizations of Lincoln High.

During the next few years, the group was kept busy presenting programs throughout the city, and in other'" areas. In 1924, the Band placed first in the State Music Contest, and in 1925 went to a contest in Kansas City. It headed up the Armistice Day Parade held in Lincoln the same year.

The year 1928 must have been a big one as the Band played for the State High School Executives Meeting, the Greater Lincoln Exposition and in "the combination band concert led by Sousa."

MEMBERSHIPSTRICTER

In 1929, the qualifications for Band membership became stricter when athletic eligibility rules were invoked and band members were also required to be passing in 15 hours of classroom work in order to participate in this activity.

In 1930, the LHS Band continued its concerts for community and state associations. At that year's State Music Contest, one of the judges was heard to say, "And of course we know who wins first place. This LHS Band will be the winner of a national championship in a few years."

The year 1935 saw the addition of red and black caps

The original Lincoln High Band, established in 1910. to the old uniforms, and in 1937 the Band played in the first University of Nebraska Band Day program.

Extra added , and, it might be said, rather interesting attractions came about in 1939 when the first twirlers appeared.

In 1949, the Band tried its first precision marching , and according to the Links did "a very commendable job." The '41 Links mentioned , however, that "the only drawback has been the quarter-ofa-century-old rags and tatters the members are required to wear as uniforms."

In 1941, something was done about those "old rags and tatters." The Band uniforms presently being used were purchased at this time.

CONTINUINGSUPPORT

During the next few years the Band continued its support of school events and community concerts.

In 1950, the Band was named one of the 12 best in the state, and was asked to march in the University of Nebraska's Band Day and in various other parades. In 1951 and again in 1955, the Band received "A" ratings at the University's Band Day, adding more honors to its list.

In 1954 , the band became so popular with student music enthusiasts that a Sophomore Band was formed, with its own uniforms and twirlers. It made its first appearance at the LHS-Grand Island football game.

During the next few years, the Band played at the dedication ceremonies for the Harris Overpass (the new 0 street viaduct) in 1956, and at the dedication ceremonies of Seacrest Field in 1963. Parades have also kept the group busy the past few years with its participation in the Veteran's Day Parade in 1961, and the Chamber of CONTINUEDONPAGE6

Age-old Controversy Stirs: Men from Apes?

With the current trial in Little Rock, Arkansas, of a biology instructor who has been forbidden to teach the theory of evolution in a public school, the Scopes Evolution Trial of 1925 is recalled to mind.

In the scopes trial, two world-famous attorneys met head on. Leading the prosecution was a Lincolni te, William Jennings Bryan, a three-time Presidential candidate who had served as Secretary of State under President Wilson.

He was also the leader of a group known as Fundamentalists --those whobelieved the Bible was a history book.

Bryan, one of Lincoln's most famous citizens, sent his children to the old Lincoln High School. His daughter served on The Advocate staff. DARROWLED DEFENSE

Leading the defense was a Chicago lawyer, Clarence Darrow. He had a long record of successful court cases.

'J.he Scopes trial took place in the small town of Dayton, Tennessee, in the summer of 1925.

The trial had such an impact on history that two playwrights, Jerome Lawrence and Robert Lee, wrote the play Inherit the Wind, based on the trial.

John scopes, the biology teacher at the Dayton high school, had been accused of breaking the law that forbade the teaching of the theory of evolution, which says that man had evolved from other forms of animals. These teachings, the Fundamentalists claimed, were contrary to those principles found in the Bible.

The trial was one of the most publicized in United States history.

Darrow managed to put Bryan on the stand as an expert on the Bible. He then proceeded to show the world, through Bryan, that the Bible cannot be inter1>reted word for word as the Fundamentalists had said; rather, it must be interpreted generally and liberally.

Scopes was fined $100. CASEDISMISSED

The case was dismissed two years lateron a technicality.

However, the law which Scopes was accused of breaking was never repealed, but still remains on the Tennessee books as a remembrance of those historic times. Most of the Southern states have had anti-evolution laws sometime in their history.

TOday, 40 years later, such a law remains on the books in Arkansas, and today, a Little Rock biology teacher has claimed that her freedom of speech was infringed upon when she was not allowed to teach the theory of evolution.

The future of the Band appears to be as bright as its past.

Next November, Lincoln High will host the State Music Clinic for the third time and also, starting in March, 1967 through November, 1967 the Band will be marching in many Centennial Parades.

Views on Evolution

In view of the recent controversy over the teaching of evolution, the question "What is the feeling in Nebraska and more specifically Lincoln High towards the teaching of evolution?" was asked of Lincoln High's two biology instructors, Mr. Alexander Corrie and.Mr. Gerald Skoog.

EVOLUTION IS CHANGE

"I certainly believe in evolution," stated Mr. Curr ie.11 The denotation of evolution is change. There has certainly been a change in man over the centuries, change which has been brought on by differences in environment. The only thing that doesn't change is change itself.

"To me, it is not so much how it happened but that it did happen that is important. "

NO NEBRASKALAW

"To the best of my knowledge, Nebraska has never had a law forbidding the teaching of evolution," said Mr. Skoog. "The only two states that I know of with anti-evolution! laws today are Arkansas and Tennessee. However, these laws are rarely enforced.

"Evolution is a predominant idea in biology and should be taught. It is a way of thinking; no one is forced to accept the idea. However, it must be remembered that evolution means change. The common connotation of evolution-that man descends from the ape--is not necessarily true; evolution contains much more than this limited idea. "

'Die Trades Auto shop team, under the direction of Mr. Dennis Weixelman, last year won the state competition and went on to the nationals in Detroit. Mr. Weixelman is entering Ron Johnson and Avery Pickering in the contest this year. IA AUTOSHOPSTO ENTER

Mr. ltlrold Slaight, Industrial arts auto shop instructor, is entering the team of Mike Rezac and Allen Jaeckle in the contest. Northeast is the only other Lincoln High school entering a team in the competition. TO IDENTIFYTEAM

The object of Saturday's contest, according to Mr. Weixelman, is "to identify a winning team that will represent Nebraska in the national contest.

"The winner of the compct i tion is determined on a time and accuracy basis," says Mr. Weixelman. 11A car will be provided for each team to work on. All cars will be equipped exactly alike, and each wi 11 have identical malfunctions, implanted under the hood of the car by factory representatives.

"The first team to correct all problems, put the car up to factory specifications, and get it running, will be the winner of the event. Time is the main element, but if the car isn't up to factory specs, the team is eliminated. II

This is the second year for the contest to be held in Nebraska, although it has been running for several years since its inception in California. The contest, originated to find mechanics to fill the tremendous shortage, still has that as its purpose.

Saturday morning, the teams will get together to watch a film of last year's nationals, have a box lunch, and, at the sound of the gun, will run to the cars and try to get them repaired.

Two new cars were loaned to Lincoln High for the teams to practice on, which they do, from two to four hours a day. The cars were loaned by Gotfredson Motor Company, as a part of the program, which is sponsored by ChryslerPlymouth Motor Division of the Chrysler Corporation.

His most embarrassing experience came at the Dutch White Relays where, on his first throw, he let his discus go too far to the right and it landed on the track, scaring a group of runners.

Don is in the Agriculture Curriculum and plans to attend the · University of Nebraska, where he will major in wildlife management.

Participation in athletics has taught him that often an a,thlete takes his sport for " granted but that one can never realize how much he really love~ a sport until he is unable to participate."

WALTERS

John Walters. in the Teachers College Curriculum, has Participated in varsity football and track, was a Joy Night participant, and'is a member of Keen-Time Council.

His favorite pastimes are "scrambling, watching TV, and thinking about trimming my horns."

John's most memorable experience was Placing second in the discus throw in the 1965 State Track Meet. His most embarrassing experience was having his "dweam come twue" in this year's Joy Night.

Track is his favorite sport because "It is up to the individual to make or break himself and if you have the right attitude and a little ability you can become a champion."

John plans to attend college after graduation this June.

Coach Bu Grosscup's squad has compiled a 2-1 record thus far.

1be Links opened the season with a 2-1 loss to Creig~ton Prep in Omaha. Each team could manage only one hit.

Mike Delaney went the distance on the mound for the Links, and also got the official blame for the loss.

1be next game on the Lincoln High slate was at Northeast , where the Links won, 7-6, in an extra inning of play.

The Links scored a run in the top of the eighth , held off the Rockets in the bottom of the same, and pi ck ed up the win.

Links' Netters Gain Experience

The Lincoln High tennis team, coached by LeRoyColson, has been doing rather poorly.

Colson, whose entire team graduated last spring , was faced with a tremendous rebuilding job this year

The Link netters fell to OmahaWestside, April 12, 8-1, and to Grand Island, April 15, 8-1.

The only match winner for the Links in the Westside meet was George Strokan

The only winner for the Black and Red in the Grand Island meet was Dale Nickl es.

Mike Delaney, able to hit as well as he pitches started the action as he dropped one over the Elks' Field fence for one of the rarities in baseball--a grand slam home run!

Delaney pitched a four-hit ball game to further unnerve the Knights. The Links went through three Southeast pitchers in the short-lived contest.

All the scoring was done in the first six innings , since the game was called at the end of the sixth under the 10-run rule.

Thi s was the first official game for the Knights, after a tie with Pius X.

Beating Cheating

The Student Council honesty reveals that over half of us cheated in high school. po 11 have

Howdo we tackle this problem?

There are at least three possible solutions. First, we should remember the convictionsof9~ per cent of us: ~Cheating_does_not_benefit_in_the J_Qn.g_run.~Cheating leads to loss of self-confidence. It is habit forming; from that first sto1 en answer, it gets easier with practice. In the process, the cheater convinces hi mse1f "I amtoo weak to make it on my own."

The facts are obvious: "Cheating does not benefit in the long run."

Leaning on the cheating clutch--even once--is a commitment to personal weakness.

Second, 1et us be aware of the harm cheating does to others. A copied answer 1owers the grade of our friends.

Finally, we should institute the Lincoln High Honor System. Sure it's daring! We'll be the first high school student body in the Midwest to make honesty our publicly-agreedupon pol icy.

Advantages? It would makethe antisocial, unacceptable aspects of cheating clear. It would provide a better enforcement system. (Who can see more clearly, the teacher up front or the student at the next desk?) It would free students to prove their ability to handle responsibility. It would provide a mechanism for continual publicity on the importance of honor-in school, in sports, on income tax, on the job, in business.

Hopefully, Student Council members will reach a consensus by fall that will make further action possible.

Need For Change

Most students at Lincoln High will agree that the ECA System (Extracurricular Activities) is necessary.

This system not only controls the number of activities in which a student may participate, but helps determine those eligible for National Honor Society.

Presently, a student may carry no more than I~ points and participate in no more than four activities s i mil taneou sly.

However, the problem is that in some instances the points are not consistently distributed.

The ECASystem has long been a part of Lincoln High and certainly it should continue, but the system needs to be modernized to fit today's needs.

Student Council Survey Shows Cheating Problem

This story, originally intended for publication .il The Advocate, was mistakenly released:in the Lincoln Journal of May 14, 1966.

* *

Honesty may be the best policy, but members of Lincoln High' s Student Council wanted to find out if it is the usual policy. Accordingly, they polled approximately 1700 Lincoln High students as to what was considered as cheating and how much of it goes on.

It was found that 64 per cent of the students admitted to having cheated on a test sometime during high school. The Red Cross Journal quotes a 70 per cent national average on this question.

Only 39 per cent of Lincoln High students find that cheating is often a temptatio1L Ninety-four per cent feel cheatin~ is of little benefit over a long period of time.

However, manyanswers might hinge on the student's concept of what constitutes cheating. While only seven per cent consider working in a group on a daily assignment as dishonest, 66 per cent believe that copying answers is cheating. A large 90. 5 per cent say that copying test answers is definitely unfair.

Why, when so many students feel that they are doing wrong, does the cheating continue? Almost 1300 students cited grades as the main reason1 behind the figures. Some 400 cheat to fulfill parental expectations.

Social studies are seemingly among the hardest, as 53 per cent of the students are often tempted to cheat in this area. Mathematics followed with 42.5 per cent, and English was third with 36. 5 per cent.

While 86 per cent of the students polled noticed cheating in their classes, only 46.5 per cent "often" saw cheating.

The survey was part of a Student Council-sponsored trial program of the honor system. Although several members report that they are very encouraged about the system's probable success at Lincoln High, the Council has yet to take definite action on the matter.

Fred Schrekinger, junior member of the Council, comments, 11The survey, as well as helping to get an idea of student attitude toward cheating and reasons for cheating, prompted students to think about a situation that may have been taken for granted."

At present. she is getting her horse, Destry, ready for a horse show, spending all her free time working him out.

11Do your best and you will never be disappointed, '1 is Dorothy's message to underclassmen.

As Links business manager, Ron Bowlin has gained experience in handling finances and selling advertising. He plans to take business administration in college.

Chess Club, HumanRelations Council, International Club, Astronomy Club, Band, Orchestra, Boys Octet accompanist, every semester honor roll, Joy Night participant, and Opera accompanist have oeen Ron's activities.

Last fall he attended a seminar on the United Nations in Washington, D.C.

"By working on the Links I've learned that putting out a really great yearbook consists of long hours of planning, production, and proof reading plus a great pleasure and satisfaction in what we hope will be 'another LHS job well done,'" says Janice Grabowski, managing editor.

In her spare time she likes anything that takes her outdoors and away from the city.

To underclassmen she says "let your discontents be secrets; if others know them they' 11 despise thee and increase them!"

Next year she plans to attend the Universi ty of Nebraska and major in zoology.

"Gray hairs, insomnia, and a great yearbook" are Steve David's rewards from being sports editor of the Links.

Steve participated in Reserve basketball and football. in Varsity fo ct ball for two sea 7 sons, and Boys Octet. He is Senior Class secretai:y and a HomeRoomRepresentative.

His most memorable moment was being named to the All-City football team at center.

Going to the university a1ad then working in the data-processing field are Steve's future plans.

Since his dad is ip the Air Force, John Thompsonhas travelled in every state in the u.S, excePt those on the east coast. He hopes to visit them this summer.

Being senior editor of the Links gave him an interest in journalism.

In his free time, John walks and studies. He also participates in Writers Club.

Being chosen for Links board and winning first place in the city with his HandicaPPed Essay ranks as John's most memorable exPeriences.

Majoring in journalism at the University of Nebraska is John's tentative· plan after graduation.

Yearbook Mirrors High School Life

once a year, there occurs a p.iblishing event which, to the pupils of Lincoln High at least, outranks the disclosure of Pulitzer Prize winning novels or poems.

The Lincoln High yearbook, The Links, affords students a chance to see themselves and their friends "immortalized" in print in a volume which constitutes a Permanent record of their high school years.

This year's Links will be Volume 50 in a long line of proud tradition.

The first volume of The Links was published in 1917. Prior to that time, the school year had merely been summed up in the last issue of The Advocate.

Jesse H. Newlon, Lincoln High principal, in his prefacQ to that first edition, stated that The Links would "leave a memorial more lasting than bronze ... In this book will be mirrored the life of the school ... "

The Links of 1917 opened with a list of faculty members and an introduction to the volwne by editor-in-chief Laurence Slater.

A LINEOF VERSE

Photographs of senior class members were followed with a line of verse describing the student. For example, the portrait of one Larry Rider was followed by 11Ah! that such beautiful hair and charming eyes should be wasted on a mere boy. 11

A history of the class of 1917 Preceded the activities, literary, and sports sections.

A mocknewspaper, the Snews carried a prophecy of things to comefor the class of 1917. Dated 1927, it carried a news story telling of the recapture of American ground, lost to the Germansin World War I, by members of the class of '17' !

The war ended slightly sooner than the class of 1917 had anticipated, and the 1919 Links carried a tribute to Lincoln High alumni who had died in action.

Few changes were made in The Links format for several years. Asmany students graduated in January, the yearbook usually carried separate sections for January and June graduates (two National Honor Societies were also the custom).

For many years, each issue of The Links was dedicated to a faculty member.

CANDIDSHOTS

The 1932 Links, in addition to the traditional portraits and group pictures, carried several "candid" photos of Lincoln High life and was introduced with a IBgeant of winter pictures of the school.

Issues of The Links published during world War II included pledges of "dedication to free~om." The 1946 Links saluted boys who were returning to complete their studies at LHSafter serving in the armed forces.

Intelligence, Curiosity, Eagerness Elemental to Journalistic Career

Professor Neale Copple, recently appointed director of the School of Journalism at the University of Nebraska, got his first experience in the field as a student at Lincoln High School, where he served as a page editor and later as the managing editor of The Advocate

After his graduation from Lincoln High, he continued his study of journalism at the university where he majored in this field.

'WORKING'JOURNALIST

During his career in journalism, Mr. Copple has served as a writer for United Press International, a wire service, as a reporter for The Mi lwaukee Journal, and as city editor of The Lincoln Journal, a position he held from 1952 to 1959.

In 1960 he became an instructor in dePth reporting at the University of Nebraska.

Mr. Copple has written~ number of books including a journalism text, DepthReporting. His Tower on the Plains, a history of Lincoln, Nebraska, was written to commemorate the city's Centennial.

Describing as 11fantast ic" the opportunities open to students in the field of journalism, he added, "Today there are 15 jobs open to every student graduating from a school of journalism.

points out. "Freedom of the press is nothing without resPonsibility."

Thus the editorial policy of a school newspaper must be carefully determi~ed. He feels the policy should be determined by the publisher (sponsor) and the editor of the paper.

"One should remember, however, that the editorial speaks for the paper, not for the Person writing it.

"The same would hold true for letters written to the paper. They should be accepted and printed only when they are responsible, in good taste, constructive, and of general interest."

The 1948 Links was unique in several ways. It was the first (and to date the only) Links to carry a photograph of Lincoln High on the cover.

It broke the formality barrier, which had plagued earlier annuals, by affectionately "poking fun" at the faculty. A youthful looking coach, for instance, was described as 11Not one of the seniors, but LHS' most eligible bachelor --Harold Scott."

Perhaps the most important contribution of the• 48 Links was that it was the first LHS yearbook to carry an index of students' names, thereby saving pupils the task of paging through entire volume to find a specific picture.

ALL-AMERICA

1be next few years brought unprecedented honors for the annual publication. The Links received II All-America II ratings in 1949, 1951, and 1952!

The 1958 Links was unique in another way; in addition to being exceptionally well written and designed, all of the pictures ( except for portraits) were taken by student photographers John Andrews and Gerald Rominger.

Another "All-America" rating was garnered by the 1965 Links.

And now, the expectation and curiosity of students are once again aroused as the issue date of this yea~ s Links approaches.

Forty-nine LHS yearbooks have come off the presses. The fiftieth is soon to comei

"However, a young journalist must have certain attributes to succeed: intelligence, curiosity, talent, a broad education and, above all, an eagerness and determination to succeed."

The high school newsPaPer is a good place for the wouldbe journalist to decide if he has an aptitude and an interest in the field, Mr. Copple believes. Here he also learns the responsibilities of a writer.

KEY:RESPONSIBILITY

11The key word in the writing and publishing of a newsPaPer is responsibility," he

Yetta Is 'No lady'; Campaign8ig Hoax

Alas and alack! Another rising "political leader" has fallen! Mrs. Yetta Bronstein, featured in the last issue of The Advocate as one of the many colorful Presidential also-rans, does not exist , per se.

In spite of the fact that in 1964 over 400 votes were cast for Yetta in the state of Maryland alone, the fact that her camPaign was "one big joke" has been certified.

Mrs. Jeannie Abril of New York posed as the mythical Mrs. Bronstein during the 1964 campaign. Mrs. Abril agreed to the hoax in an effort to prove howill-informed , many American voters are.

Mrs. Abril is currently writing a book about her ex· Periences entitled, The President I Almost Was.

Asked to differentiate between college and high school publications, Mr. copple explained, ''rhecollege student has more freedom in running the PaPer than do high school students whoneed more advice from sponsors."

Mr. Copple believes that schools papers "serve two purposes: to give young journalists an opportunity to work on a paper, and, most importantly, to inform both the student body and the faculty of the happenings of the school."

Future Nurses Tea To Interest Girls In Medical Fields

The annual Future Nurses Tea was held May 17 in the cafeteria.

111be purpose of the tea was to interest new girls in joining Future Nurses next year and to acquaint them with all types of nursing," says Jill Anderson, corresponding secretary of FUture Nurses.

Guest speakers from Bryan Memorial Hospital and Saint Elizabeth Hospital spoke on surgical nursing and pediatric nursing.

During the year, the club .takes part in different service projects and invites various nurses to come and speak to the group.

Did you know that the present hair styles for girls-long and straight-is preferred by boys at a ratio of three to one?

This is one fact uncovered by a recent survey conducted by Mrs. Kathleen Sayre's clothing classes. The study was a part of a good-grooming unit which included problems of and suggestions for hair, make-up, figure, and clothing improvement.

11A MALE' S EYEVIEW"

In 11A Male's EYeView," the name of the survey, each girl asked three Lincoln High boys or a male faculty member 10 questions about girls' hair.

11The most becoming hair style," said one boy, "is one that looks like a girl' s! 11 The boys thought the most important aspect of that 'shining glory' was that it be combed and neat looking.

111 think that girls who wear rollers in public should take into consideration the poor people who have to look at them." This seemed to be the consensus; only one of seven boys thought that wearing rollers in public is proper.

After her talk to the Clothing and Textile class, Mrs. WeymouthDittmer visits with Sandra Quattrocchi.

However, as far as one of the Lincoln High faculty members is concerned 1 some of these new styles, 'look like censored, censored' 11

PROFESSIONALSSPEAK

Along with the survey, three professionals in these areas spoke to the classes. From Miller & Paine was Mrs. V.A. Colon, who talked about charm and foundations. The latter included tips as to the right garments to wear with current styles.

Mrs. Georgia Miller and Mrs. Weymouth Dittmer, both of Ben's School of Beauty, discussed skin and hair care, facts about make-up, and some of the current hair styles.

The girls in the clothing classes agreed that the unit was one of great interest, and taught them much about

Wishing'Aquarium Aids Band Drive

The Lincoln High School music fund campaign is not limited to money collected by the sale of candy and light bulbs.

Mr. Robert Compton's third Period biology class devised a different !:·c1yto help earn money for the uni forms- -"a wishing aquarium."

Since last year, students have been dropping pennies into the aquarium and hoping their wishes would come true.

Last year the fund, which totaled about $3, was used to buy more fish; but this year students suggested the money be used toward a new band uniform. However, until the aquarium is cleaned the amount collected will remain a mystery.

Three dollars may not be a great sum, but, as biology students say, 11A penny saved is a penny earned."

ITigers, Bats, Tornadoes I Test Public's Gullibility

Let's take a test! Answer the following questions to see how you rate in today's TV turmoil.

1. Do you feel filthy-rich when you wash your hair?

2. Does your date disappear when you breathe on him?

3. Are your funny papers ruined if someone does not like your coffee?

4. Have you ever been a hopeless wallflower changed into the belle of the ball just because you used a certain hand lotion?

5. Where do keyed-up executives go to unwind?

6. Aunt Jemima, what took you so long?

7. would you really want to wear nylons that fit like MAKE-UP on your legs? (Ich)

8. Do you really believe that putting a dime in your washer will make your whole wash clean and white?

9. Does your peanut butter taste like a mountain full of peanut-th?

10. How many people do you know that write through butter on purpose?

Howmany could you answer? Well, I suppose you think I'm testing your gullibility. That is exactly what most of today's commercials do.

Does the TV world really think the American people are so stupid as to believe some of that stuf'f? Why don't we take a look at a few of the "ever-so-reasonable" commercials of modern TV.

The scene: Several bull-like and cow-like people standing around with spears in their hands and wearing suits of armor. They' re singing an operatic aria about YELLOWPAGES??

Time: The dark of night. Character: Count Dracula. He seems to be saying something about NOT using a certain throat lozenge that helps the "pain in de trroat."

PUT A TIGER IN YOURTANK

With the increasing number of automobiles in America, the gasoline companies have been going great guns in the commercial field. One finds it hard to believe that four men on an African safari would travel miles and miles across rivers, deserts, and jungles just to refill their tank with a certain gasoline. If it were me, I would just put a tiger in my tank!

What's this? A disaster at the Jones house? Mrs. Jones just ran out of the kitchen screaming something about a white tornado. Oh well, she' 11 get over it.

Dieting is an easy target for commercials. The American people have such faith in TV and radio that many actually believe all the pretty young girls on the yacht got that way by drinking a can of "Fat Off" liquid diet food once a day. "The Fat Off for lunch bunch takes it off FAST!"

"IT'S ONLY$8000"

All a mother hears any more from her young ones is "Johnny Jet does this, Johnny Jet does that. Mommy,I just have to be the first in my neighborhood to have a genuine Batmobile. It's only $8000. Can I Mommy,huh? And those GC Flyers will put wings on my feet!"

Since kids are so irresist-

able, they generally make

good actors in commercials. One wonders if that kid with the buck teeth ever downed that five-foot mound of jello. Then there's little George who turned up with 80 Per cent fewer cavities. So he has f~lse teeth! That's one thing they failed to mention in the commercial. * * *

Maybe commercials of the future will be entirely different. (Let's hope so!) Some of you may be responsible for creating commercials for some company some day. If so, all we ask is that you give us credit for just a wee bit of intelligence.

And now, for a word from our sponsor

'Teaching' Parents Present Few Daughter /Son Problems

Nine a lucky number?? Yes, it is to the nine Lincoln High students whose parents double as teachers. This state of affairs may create or, occasionally, prevent problems for Bryan Grosscup, Jeanne Holbrook, Kathy Sayre, Steve Voss, Sara Luedke, Tom Howland, Doris Adams, Tom Hafemeister, and Kent Clawson.

Bryan Grosscup, who is a sophomore, says that "high school is no different than junior high, just because my dad teaches here. " He has Mr. Grosscup as his study hall supervisor and doesn't feel the least bit cramped. "The real problem is being out for baseball and having your dad as the coach, " states Bryan.

"I don't dare think of skipping, because mydad would be the first to know," expounds Sara Luedke. "Also, some kids think you should be extra smart, or that you got that high grade because you are a 'teacher's kid.' "

qlt's really fun when we have teachers at our home for dinner. I can complain about their teaching and they think I'm just making conversation!"

"1 haven't noticed much difference, since most teachers don't makethe association between me and my father, says TomHowland. "Since he only teaches a few classes, I don't know many of his pupils."

"1 have never been 'in trouble' because of my father; in fact, I find that his friends are usually mine," comments Tom.

Jeanne Holbrook feels lucky to have her mother teach in the same school because she doesn't have t~ worry about a ride home.

"Manyof the faculty knowme and are nice to me. If I forget to bring a note for an absence excuse, she is always right around the corner," says Jeanne.

"Having a father on the faculty has its advantages," states Doris Adams. "Since he teaches here, my dad is more considerate about extracurricular activities and realizes the importance of them. However, one disadvantage is that he doesn't have to wait until PTA meetings to ask my teachers how I'm doing!"

Kathy Sayre is glad that her mother teaches here, since her steadying influence has kept Kathy out of trouble. "Having your mother teaching has one disadvantage--on a test day everyone blames you for a hard exam!"

Kent Clawson also has a father who teaches at LHS. He is glad to have his dad here because it always means a ride home from school.

Terry Moore, Clark Gillaspie, Bill Cottrell, Mike Egger, and Tom Hafemeister seem elated as they read the letter confirming their selection as delegates from Lincoln High to the 1966 COrnhusker Boys' State.

Probably few of these persons will realize that they are taking part in one of the

After a long day at the bone pile, followed by a hectic chase home, the cave man could enjoy a restful swim in a natural environment of water and sea monsters.

More reliable sources have it that swimming is as old as the most ancient records of history. The book of Exodus relates stories of Egyptians swimming in the Nile.

Celebrity Interview Proves Frustrating, Hectic Fiasco

Bill Cosby, well known to TV viewers for his hit NBC series, 111 Spy," recently made a Lincoln appearance. Because Mr. Cosby is such a favorite personality, it was this reporter's idea to get a personal interview.

The plan, which was simplicity itself, was set into motion. The first step was to contact someone at the Pershing Municipal Auditorium, where Mr. Cosby would be appearing, learn the name of the booking agent, write a letter, and set up the interview.

Unfortunately, "someone" had no knowledge of the booking arrangements--in fact, he couldn't supply any useable information. His suYigestion was to call "someone' at the Student Union because Mr. Cosby's appearance was being arranged through this channel (he thought).

CRAWLDEVELOPED

The well-known crawl stroke was developed at the start of the 1900' sin Australia.

Also in the 1900's, Americans began to show an interest in the sport. Long distance and marathon events were most popular at that time, including the English Channel and the Wrigley Swim from Los Angeles to Catalina Island. The Wrigley Swim was later moved to Lake Ontario and then discontinued as the popularity of shorter races became prevalent.

SWIMMINGGREATS

Howdythere!

Just 11 school days left for seniors and 14 for the underclassmen! Keep up the studies, everyone, and summer will be here before you know it.

And before you know it, you'll need a new suit for all those warm, sunny swimming days ahead. If you' re oneofthose people who are smart and you already have a suit, come in and take a look at our shorts, blouses, and knit tops for summer wear. There are lots of cool styles, colors, and patterns to choose from, so come in and see us at The Place.

A mighty big day is coming up for seniors this month--Color Day. A pretty whip cream dress in one of the light pastel shades will fit this memorable day perfectly.

See you soon, Jeni & Margy

Carvings in the ruins of Pompeii show swimmers using a side stroke. Cave drawings in the Libyan Desert dating back 11 thousand years showpeople swimming. An Egyptian noblemanwho lived about 2160 B. C. recorded that his children took swimming lessons. About 880 B.C., Assyrian warriors used a crawl-type stroke to swim across streams.

As a sport, swimming made very little advancement until the 1800' sin Europe, In 1862 the first swimming associations were formed to promote interest in the ancient activity.

Introduced in the 1896 Olympic games, the early championships were held by English, American, and Australian swimmers, However, greater international competitive swimming took its place in 1932 when Japan won; later,

LARGEST SELECTION IN LINCOLN

One of the first great American swimmers was Johnny Weissmueller, later the best known Tarzan. He set many world records in the free style. Adolph Kiefer, who was defeated only once in the period from 1935 to 1943, was probably the greatest backstroke swimmer in the history of the sport.

LADIES 11IN THE SWIM"

Famous womenchampions incluse Katherine Rawl&,Esther Williams--later the namesake of a famous pool construction firm, Gertrude Ederle, who, in 1926, was the first woman to swim the English Channel (she was also the first to use the crawl stroke and broke the existing man's record), and Florence Chadwick,the first womanto swim the channel both ways!

Swimming, as a recreational sport, became popular after World War I. Pools and beaches were built all over the country. The trend then expanded to include hotel swimming pools, private pools, Red Cross sponsored life saving courses.

Swim meets and exhibitions drew record crowds. Swimming has become one of the most popular events at the Olympics as well as in the back yard pool.

CALLTHEU.

In case you have never called the university, you have no conception of the difficulties involved in getting in touch with "someone. 11 First, you explain your business to a disinterested middleman (the switch-board operator) who finally puts you through to the "someone" who might be able to help you or at least should put you on the right tract.

"'Someone' is out--No, I don't know where he is--No, I don't know when he will return--Why don't you call back later, say next year?"

After innumerable false starts, the name of Mr. Cosby's booking agent was finally secured. Nowfollowed the task of writing the letter that woula hring about the desired results--a solid appointment for the interview. Sincethe letter was sent 10 days before Mr. Cosby's scheduled appearance, it was assumed an immediate confirmation would follow. HA!

Concern really didn't set in until four days before deadline and no word had been received. However, with unquenchable faith that the interview would take place, "a seri es""""'oT"meaningful questions, in good sequence. carefully compounded to elicit exact information" (instructions recalled from Beginning Journalism class) were devised.

ANOTHERCHANCE

At night as a silent, preoccupied reporter sat at dinner, eating unheedingly food set before him (even brussel sprouts), a member of his family remarked that he knew "someone" who worked at the local department store where Mr. Cosby would be appearing at an autographing session. Perhaps this "someone" could be of assistance in setting up an interview.

This had to be the answer. If the record department manager, Mr. Joe Doakes (name changed to protect the innocent) would cooperate, all problems would be solved. The next step was to check in with Mr. Doakes by phone.

The only problem was that there was no Doakes, Joe, listed in the directory. There was a Jason and Jose, but no Joe! Beginning with Doakes, Allan, and proceeding through Benny, Charles, David and on to Doakes, Xerxes, (the last of the Doakeses) it was determined that no one had ever heard of Joe.

Resorting to an unprecedented, logical move, Mr. Doakes was readily contacted at his place of business next day only to report that he (Doakes, Joe) was in no position to arrange for any interviews. However, he suggested that a "sp:mtaneous" meet might be arranged if the reporter were on hand at the autographing session.

ZOOTSUIT

Nattily dressed in his tight grey slacks and his navy blue, double-breasted sports coat (with the pearl buttons) and a conservative red and yellow paisley tie and handerchief, and equipped with attache case, which concealed a tape recorder (a la Bond, James), pencil, and the utilitarian pad of early at his place of assignnation?)

Twenty minutes later Mr. Cosby made his appearance, complete with a milling mass that promptly cut off all view of the Great One. Forty frantic minutes later, by a series of inch-long gains through the wallofhumanity, this reporter was standing before his objective.

Mr. Cosby spoke: "cool, man." It seems he (Mr. Cosby) was impressed by the reporter's attire. He was wearing a hurgundy-colored, doublebreasted sports coat (with pearl buttons)! Next followed the fastest non-arrangement in journalistic history. "unfortunately, I'm pretty tied up after this autograph session but if you want to stick around you' re welcome. "

'sticking around" was shortli ved. 1be boys from the local radio stations soon hustled Mr. Cosby away, sneakily using the elevator for the purpose. As the slow-moving escalator was the only means of transportation, Mr. Cosby was long gone by the time this reporter was in position to make another move.

Still doggedly optimistic, it was decided that another meet would be attempted after the evening show. (A good reporter is persevering, ingenious, resourceful, etc. Creed of Beginning Journalism Class). However, this plan was nipped by one large, bodyguard-type gentle(?) man backstage who smiled and said, 11Mr. Cosby is not granting any interviews. 11

This was an interview? As The Advocate goes to press, this reporter is still waiting for word from Mr. Cosby's press agent setting up an interview for 4:00 p.m., April 30.

Say, does "someone" know the name of Ladybird's press agent?

Batmen Take City, Fall In Districts

The Lincoln High baseball squad has been very active wrapping up a city championship. The team dropped a decision to Omaha Westside (the Links beat Westside earlier in the season, 12-0), and fell to Pius X in district action on May 14, sending any hQpes along the lines of state tournament plummeting to the ground.

The Links defeated Pius X 9-8, April 25 at Elks Field.

The Links broke a tie in the seventh, via an overthrow of first by the Pius catcher, who had fielded a dribbler by George Hinman.

This allowed Doug Loos to scamper across home plate, coming from third.

The Links scored seven runs in the first three innings, on Pius errors and bases on balls. The Thunderbolts stayed in the game with home runs--and lots of them.

"Marvelous Mike" Delaney received credit for the win.

SEWARD-CONCORDIA

Next up on the Lincoln High slate was the game with Seward Concordia, which the Links won, 3-1.

George Hinman picked up the win, pitching a 5-hitter.

Lincoln High scored two runs in the first inning, and then rounded off the scoring with another tally in the third.

NORTHEAST

One of the highlights of the Northeast game was a 3-run homerby Steve McKelvey in route to the 4-1 win.

This was the game that clinched the city title for the Links.

WESTSIDE

The Links, after a long, grueling, 3- game week of baseball, fizzled in the last game and were defeated by Omaha Westside, 5-0.

The Warriors scored one run in each of 5 innings, but would have had six had it not been for one of the Warriors, who had just hit what would have been an inside-the-park home run. He followed a manwhowas already on base, missed third, and third baseman Mike Voss tapped the plate.

DISTRICTACTION

Mike Delaney, Lincoln High pitcher, hurled a one-hitter at Pius in what turned out to be the last game of the season.

However, the one-hitter wasn' t backed up by any solid Lincoln High hitting, and the Links dropped it, 2-1. This was the second one-hitter pitched by Delaney this year that ended up in the loss column.

The gamewas tied up to the seventh, when John McEniry hit a two-out single, driving in Dana Stephenson.

The loss brought the Link season record down to 5-3.

HELLER

Dane Heller, who has participated in varsity football and track, says his favorite pastimes are "water skiing, bike riding, and fighting with Janice."

His pet peeves are being called Spot and discus throwers who think they can pole vault.

Dane's most embarrassing experience came when he fell asleep in Mr. Dick Beechner' s economics class and was sent to the nurse to catch up on his rest.

Participation in athletics has taught him to have faith in himself and to respect those who excel.

Dane rates being able to pole vault in last year's state track meet as his most memorable experience.

He likes both football and track because "it takes a great deal of individual effort to compete well in either sport."

After graduation, Dane plans to attend college in Arizona.

TEALE

Joe Teale, in the Engineering Curriculum, has participated in Joy Night, Keen Time Council, Varsity swimming and baseball, intramural football, and L Club.

His favorite pastimes are swimming and watching "sock, bi ff, and klunk."

Joe's pet peeves are lockers that don' t open and baldheaded people. He was most embarrassed when, as a sophomore, he caused a triple play for .,,Jutheast in baseball.

Swimming is his favorite sport because it takes effort on the part of the individual to make the team successful.

Participation in athletics has taught Joe good sportsmanship and respect for other teams.

After graduation this June he plans to attend the University of Nebraska where he will study architecture.

Lincoln High' s golf squad seems to be tapering off after starting the season with six straight wins.

TRANS-NEBRASKA

The first blemish on the golfers' record camewhen the Links came in a disappointing fourth in the Trans-Nebraska Golf Meet, which North Platte won.

Part of this poor showing may be attributed to the cold, wet, windy weather that kept scores high.

Link golfers counting in 244 score were:

Dick Pelletier--77

Lance Gloe--82

Arv Kaulins--85

CITY

Lincoln High tied Southeast after 18 holes for the City golf crown, but lost a sudden-death playoff with the Knights.

The score was tied at 234 after 18.

Dick Pelletier took medalist honors with a two-overpar 74.

Northeast's 252 was good for last place.

The Link scoring went as follows:

Dick Pelletier--74

Lance Gloe- - 79 Arv Kaulins--81

Tom Gwin--81

DISTRICTS

Lincoln High golfers squeaked by Fairbury to earn third place and a trip to the State Meet in the District Qualifying Meet at Pioneer's golf course.

The Links were tied with Fairbury after 18 holes, but won the second hold of a sudden-death playoff for the state berth.

Southeast wonthe meet with a 223, to qualify for the final slot from District One.

Link scoring, for the 241 total, went like this:

Dick Pelletier--75

Lance Gloe--82 Arv Kaulins--84

Thinclads Retain Title

The Lincoln High track team, led by sophomore Melvin Tarpley, retained the title of District Track Champions at Nebraska Wesleyan's Magee Stadium, Friday night.

The Links, who had been plagued in the Trans-Nebraska and City Meets by numerous injuries made a fine comeback as they squeezed by cross-townr-rivals Lincoln Northeast and Lincoln Southeast, 46-44-4~.

Hampered in practice throughout the season by wet weather and poor tract conditions, Harold Scott's boys were considered underdogs for the meet.

Tarpley took first place in both the broad jump, with a leap of 21', and the 220yard dash, with a time of : 23. 3 seconds. He also placed fourth in the 100-yard dash.

John Walters took first place in the discus with a

Better check your pulse! Take a look at your eyes. Yep! You've got it! Don't panic, it's just an epidemic. It's Springitis. No immediate cure is known but upon delving into our fashion records we find the following relief.

1) Be a little conspicuous in gaudy and·wild baubles and bangles from Gold's main floor jewelry, such as a pair of large round fluorescent pink or red earrings dangling from a two-inch chain.

2)Strip! In a pair of cutout heels with that very bare look. Fi rs t and second floor shoes.

New Frontiers

Horace Greeley's "Go West, Young Man," inspired a generation of young Americans to endure untold hardships in exploring the frontiers of America and extending our country from sea to sea.

Today it would seem that there is nowhere one can go to satisfy this need for discovery. Geographically, perhaps this is true. Although there is still much we do not know about our earth, the only r~gl frontier left is space, which can only be exp 1ored at present by a trained few.

Mentally, however, the frontiers are 1imitless. Although man's present fund of knowledge is vast, the body of knowledge yet to be explored is infinite. The number of scientific discoveries to be made, books to be written, works of art to be designed, songs to be composed, and thoughts to be contemplated is beyond imaginat i on--and a 11 are forms of discovery.

Many of us, though, feel that we are not capable of creating. If this is so, we can still enrich and expand our 1ives through knowledge and enjoyment of the creations of others.

Al1 men are not madeto be 1eaders; some must fol low: not everyone can be successful; some must fail.

Your future, and your discoveries, depend on you. High school has introduced several new fields of discovery to you. Now you face the world ... your frontier.

At the end of each semester the Advocate staff sits back and reflects on its past life at LHS. A special column, Hangnails, (Thumbnails converted) is devoted to them.

The illustrious editor-in-chief of The Advocate for this semester is Patsy Cleveland. She has also served on The Ser ibe board, Joy Night Central Committee, Peppers, Mummers,and as a Joy Night participant. Her advice to future journalists is "learn to count to 28!" Patsy's suggestion for improving the paper is to 11let Mrs. G write the whole thing!"

In the future, Patsy is planning to learn how to paste corrections straight and then go on to bigger and better things at the University of Nebraska Journalism School. She received a scholarship from The Lincoln Star.

Asked for a suggestion on improving The Advocate, news editor Roger Boye replied, "How can improvement be made on the best staff and paper in Nebraska! 11

Roger is one of three proud journalism scholarship winners from Lincoln High to the University of Nebraska School of Journalism. A hard-working journalist, he hopes to carry on with this career.

As managing editor of The Advocate, Janet Boatman' s job is to lay out first page. This lead to her most embarrassing experience---putting the wrong dateline on page one!

At Lincoln High she has participated in Mimes, Mummers, Peppers (as a squad leader), FUtureTeachers Club, Joy Night, Sophomore and Junior Girls Glee, and Aeolian Choir, She was a Home Room Representative, Links typist, and a member of National Honor Society.

Senior sports editor Jim Young has benefited most from his semesters on The Advocate staff by the "many enlightening and informative interviews I've had with Coach Harold Scott."

He was most embarrassed when he got his Grippers stuck on the lunchroom floor in his junior year!

-From the deslcof the principafFre e do m Brings Responsibilities

A sacred word in the United States of America is "freedom.11 We thrill to such things as the "freedom of our flag 11 the "freedom of our hopes, 11 the secure "freedom of o~r h II II 11 omes, the freedom for the pursuit of happiness. These, freedoms, and many others, are our "rights" in a democracy. Freedoms are many times not understood in terms of the responsibi 1 i ties which go with them. Every freedom or right carries with it a corresponding responsibility or duty. A right of a majority to rule by vote has a corresponding duty of that majority to respect the creative role of the minority. The right of a person on a position of authority to make decisions carries with it the duty to be considerate, fair, and just. The right to believe as we Please carries with it the duty to permit others to believe as they please if their beliefs are not harmful to others.

Freedom brings lessons in self-discipline. 11The one who leads best is usually the one who is the best servant." Unless we can live together and work together under organized leadership, we will soon revert to "the ·1aw o!: the jungle where there are no rules to live by.

~is concept implies discipline for the freedoms that we ~nJoy. N~~rly. everyone thinks that "discipline" means 11pun1s~ment.. ~n 1ts larger sense, discipline is much more than this. D1sc1pline is a discipleship. A disciple is one who follows the teachings of respected leaders. A disciple respects knowledge and experience as well as ethical con~uct. A disciple does not accept without thinking the rulings handed down by an autocratic authority. The best dis~ipline ~s arrived at when there is a generous sharing of 1nformat1on and a meeting of minds among all who are con- cerned.

It is·essential, if we are to enjoy the freedoms which we have, that we have a self-discipline which is constructive, in which there is room for people to have differing beliefs, and in which faults will not go uncorrected

We work together for the same commongood. Wemay not all agree ~pon what that good is or how best to reach the goal we seek. We may, however, all agree with a very famous poet, Kahlil Gibran, when he wrote the following lines:

Life is indeed darkness save when there is urge, And all urge is blind save when there is knowledge, And all knowledge is vain save when there is work, And all work is empty save when there is love; And when you work with love you bind yourself to yourself, and to one another, and to God. And what is it to work with love?

It is to weave the cloth with threads drawnfrom your heart, Even as . if your beloved were to wear that cloth .

It is to build a house with affection, even as if your beloved were to dwell in that house

It is to sow seeds with tenderness and reap the harvest with joy, even as if your beloved were to eat the fruit.

It is to charge all things you fashion with a breath of your own spirit.

BUSINESS-PLEASURE

At home, Martin has combined business and pleasure in the silk screen printing he does on T-shirts. Martin admits that, unfortunately, his business hasn't gotten off the ground!

Another interest of Martin's, traveling, indirectly relates to his interest in are, "~en traveling, I sometimes like to draw what I see, After I work on the picture, it's easier to associate it with where I've been than with a photograph," says Martin, He loves to hunt, fish, and be outdoors. If he doesn't go into art, he will study Wildlife Management at the University of Colorado. Otherwise, Martin will study at the Chouinard School of Art in California, to add to his numerous artistic abilities.

Journalism Classes Planning Field Trip

Sharon Robbhas taken first place in the Gregg Shorthand tests given to the advanced shorthand classes.

Sharon took five minutes of new material dictated at the sPeed of 140 words Per minute with 99 Per cent accuracy,

Professor of Economics Regards College as 'Doorway to Maturity'

"As soon as you are handed that high school diploma, you are entering the adult world. From then on you are on your own. The interval between 17-24 is the time that you can either achieve success or failure." This is the conviction of Mr. Neal A. Chism, professor of Economics at Nebraska Wesleyan.

As a college professor, Mr. Chism has many ideas and pointers of value for college-bound students. He feels that everyone should have at least a high school education.

Should everyone go to college? Mr. Chism says, 11No. It is partly a matter of Brains vs. Brawn. Some persons do not have academic capability and should not waste time in college.

11A person mayhave capability with his hands. The best mechanic in the world could be lost in college. One should take training in the area in which he has interest or skills. It takes many different people to run this world."

Manyfreshmen entering col1 ege are unsure which field or occupation they want to enter. "Many times you are going to ask yourself if you are really doi~g what you want to do. Over 80 per cent of the freshmen · are unsure, but the final decision is yours an~ should be Q!!.ll'. yours.

11BY the end of your sophomore year you will be forced to make a definite deci~ion. Think ahead and plan for the future, but don't be afraid to change your mind, 11 he advises.

Which college should you attend? This, again must be your own personal choice. Mr. Chism feels that there are definitely advantages and disadvantages of large and small colleges.

"In a larger college, one experiences more freedom than he has ever had in his life. He has little or no individual help; in a smaller college a teacher would have more time for extra help if a student needed it. 11

Even more than in high school, a college student must cultivate efficient study habits. 11In college, nobody is going to tell you to study~ It is up to you to decide how much study time you need. 11

MAGICQUALITY:INTEREST

Interest is the magic quality that motivates a student to study. 11The ability to study effectively and to pass examinations can be developed by all students. 11

Concerning the study of economics, Mr. Chism feels "the importance of economics today is that it shows how we can maintain and increase our standards of Ii ving. 11

Why does Professor Chism prefer teaching at the college level? 11I really never made any decision at which l~vel to teach. It was just the way the opportunities fell."

PROFESSORCHISM

He recalled, "when I was gr owing up, our family had barely enough money for clothes and food. This was in the 30' s during the deP ression when Nebraska had the worst drought of its history. I always used to ask myself why the world had to belthis way. I wanted to go to school to study about poverty and learn what could be done to l)revent it. That has always been my motivation."

"Another subject which I would have liked to teach is philosophy; however, I have so much time invested in economics that I can't afford to change. 11

One should gain additional benefits besides II education" in college he believes. "Sororities and fraternities play an important part in some colleges and can be a source of motivation to some persons.

"However, don't ever feel that you are a failure if you don't make one. They are not the most important thing in college--your education • II IS.

NORMALDAY

A normal day for Professor Chism at Wesleyan includes teach-ing cl asses, attending chapel, correcting those "everlasting" papers, and meeting with administrative committees.

"Every day is a new challenge to me, I enjoy teaching; I think about it with pleasure, rather than just as an ordinary job."

What about college students today? Mr. Chism seriously believes that there is "too much goofing-off. We are driven by that 'status' urge. Some feel that going to college is the thing to do.

"with as much knowI edge as is available today, this generation is smarter than any of those of the past. If we don't take advantage of these opportunities, we are going to produce a dull generation.

"The door to college is the doorway to maturity. The road is long and one must have ambition and determination to make it. Enjoy it and do your best; it's all up to you. That's a pretty blunt statement but one about which everyone should think. 11

With a twinkle in his eye, Mr. Chism remarked, 11 1 think the reason I was destined to be college professor is because I talk too much."

With Dreams, Hopes, Aspirations ... Let Us Go Forth

1hank you, Lincoln High, for our high school days, the time of a multitude of experiences-a time of fun, happiness, success, disappointment, and now a time of recollection--a time to think back on these days which will be no more.

Thank you for the opportunities you have presented--opportunities for an education, for a sense of achievement, for a sense of real accomplishment.

Thank you for the fine administration and faculty, for fellow students--for friendships that will never be forgotten.

Thank you for providing the opportunity to help satisfy our quest for knowledge, to help appease our appetities for learning.

1hank you for the many memories which will remain with us forever, memories accumulated over three of the most unforgettable years of our lives. * * * *

In junior high the decision was made to enroll at Lincoln High. Many reasons prompted this choice--talks with friends, advice from teachers-or was it intuition that told us this was THE BEST school we could attend? * *

Finally, September, 1963, and we became part of the near-century of tradition and fame which is the unique heritage of Lincoln High. Many problems were to perplex us, but we were ready to put forth the effort to make our three-year stay successful and profitable.

The first days saw many trials and tribulations--the endless rows of lockers, the search for the right rooms, the 1112-~ clock clocks," the long lines in the old cafeteria--we wondered if we would ever fit into the routine.

Dances, pep rallies, and sport activities soon gave us an orientation into Links life, and helped to light the flame of pride which would remain with us forever.

Extracurricular activities provided a further insight. The many clubs, student government posi tior.s, and athletic programs gave us the opportunity to compete in the areas of our interests.

Class competition, a system ~et up to help spark school spirit, began that year. It provided an additional incentive for all-out student participation in school affairs.

'Ole sophomore year proved to be, on the whole, a satisfying and positive one for most Links. The feeling of a job well done was second only to the anticipation of the duties and responsibilities which were to be ours as juniors.

THE11HALF-WAY 11 YEAR

The junior year ushered in many changes in the routine. The now familiar seven-period schedule was initiated that year. This change provided additional classroom space for the many additional students. The schedule was the joy of those free at 2: 30, and the bane of those who had to stay until 3: 30.

Wewere told that we were becoming more mature, and our schedules proved it! Courses like American History and physics showed us that success would be ours only with extra amounts of effort.

New activities also took much of our time as juniors, Additional numbers of us began to participate. The many clubs, County Government Day, Joy Night, dramatic performances, band and orchestra, Reserve Cheerleaders, and athletics took additional hours of work and effort.

'Ole junior year also had its disappointments. To the regret of many juniors, the All-Sports Banquet was discontinued as an all-school acti vi ty.

But did we have fun! Keen-time dances, the Junior-Senior Prom hosted by us juniors, and other social events were supported and well attended by members of our class.

As the junior year approached its close, we wondered if we would fit into the shoes, uphold the reputation, and fulfill the expectations which would be expected of us as upperclassmen-as seniors.

HAPPINESSIS THE CLASSOF '66

"Happiness is .... " To seniors, happiness is heing part of the class of '66, one of the largest, and, to be sure, the finest ever to be graduated from these historic halls.

Through work and achievement, the senior class has brought honor and recognition for itself and for its school.

Recognition came in such areas as the five Merit semi-finalists, and the six Regents fouryear winners.

Recognition came through the superior performances by many Lincoln High groups. The opera, The Gondoliers, was rated 11thebestever! 11 Happiness was the great Joy Night, the fine dramatic productions, the excellent music groups, the many publications, the exciting sports activities, and the multitude of other achievements which helped bring fame to our class of '66.

Sports enthusiasm reached a peak as cneer1 eaders and pep club led the rooting. Beginning in the football season, Links followed their athletes with pep and enthusiasm throughout the cherished year.

Nor will we ever forget the band campaign. Marching in an all-out school effort as we had done so many times before, the senior class helped the school net the money to buy new band unifonns. The drive was labeled "another Lincoln High job well done. 11

Year-end activities such as the Junior-Senior Prom, Color Day, Sign-out Party, Baccalaureate, and Commencement concluded our three years as Links, three of the most satisfying and rewarding years of our lives.

*

Our high school days saw many changes--changes in our development from adolescence to young adulthood--with agrowingsenseofreal maturity. We have developed both as social beings and as individuals.

Although change is constantly made, we have found that worthwhile and important realities and goals never change--that it is best to be honest and truthful, that we should make the most of what we have, that we must learn to have courage in times of distress, and that we must strive to live up to our greatest potential.

We have come a long way; we have a long way to go. We now go forth to take our place in society. We shall go on to new successes and new disappointments, on to new opportunities and new responsibilities.

"Let us go forth, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own. 11

Thinking

Unfettered by homework, I stand before the open fire in the library.

Intellectually curious, physically refreshed, the rows of books intrigue me, The many large and small volumes designed to satisfy any mood I may have

The books, they are the worlds in themselves; I do not need the noise of human companionship, I know the television is silent in the den; I know the house is quiet for the night.

Silently I review the possible selections; I select one; I am influenced by its ideas I am bound to the intellectual activities it demands; I am thrilled with its thoughts; and I will think in return.

An Allegory .-. The Conforming Choice

A decision was to be made between the Kingdoms Right and Wrong. They existed parallel one to another, seldom meeting in that area between them know as Conformity.

The Kingdomof Right included many, strongest of whomwas Love. Love• s closest friends were Understanding, Sincerity, Happiness, and the twins, Honesty and Truthfulness.

In the Kingdomof Wrong, Hate ruled. The closest followers of Hate were Cruelty, Violence, and Sin.

Now each of these kingdoms was sending a representative to meet in Conformity. Here, a decision would be made. Would Doubt, born of Fear and Concern, dwell in the Kingdom of Right or Wrong?

Repentance and Sin were sent as representatives. In Conformity they spoke with Doubt. Doubt uttered, "I know not where I belpng."

'lbus spoke Repentence, "Doubt, you were born to Fear, who 1 i ved in the Kingdomof Wrongand Concern, who dwelt in the Kingdom of Right. They met in Conformity and bore you. It is your choice."

Right Way

The right way, The proven way, The one to use, we're told. To dare to try a new way Might offend the old. Though it hinders, Though it hampers, It cannot be denied That the best way, The only way, Is the way that has been tried.

RELAXATION,TRAVELPLANNEDFOR FUTURE BY MRS. SCHWARZ

"use common sense in al 1 you do. It' 11 get you through • II most places.

Mrs. Ruth Dodge Schwarz, LHSmodernprob I ems and International Relations teacher, must sure1 y have fol. lowed her own advice in her 3 7 years of teaching.

Her first two years of teach- MRS. SCHWARZ ing were spent in Elmwood, Wisconsin. The next two years were spent teaching in her hometown of Manitowoc, Wisconsin.

She went on to earn her masters degree at the Universi ty of Nebraska while working as a professor' s assistant and as a quiz master.

Then followed a two-year teaching assignment at Oakland, Nebraska.

Mrs. Schwarz has been a favorite teacher of many an LHS student since she began teaching here in 1937. Throughout her career, Mrs. Schwarz has taught World History, American History, Personality Development (a form of guidance), 'ModermProblems, and International Relations.

In addition to this, Mrs. Schwarz has assumed many extracurricular activities.

During her stay at LHS she has sponsored Student Council, Home Room Representatives, Red Cross, and has also served as chairman of the Courtesy Committee on assemblies.

11! have enjoyed teaching very much; in my years of teaching my students have really been cooperative. 11

Mrs. Schwarz (and that's without a "t") says that she has taught many outstanding students, but the only one she has been able to really keep a close track of is fonner presidential aide, Ted Sorenson. She describes him as being, "very fine, cooperative, and outstanding. 11

In reference to students of today as compared to those of 20 _years ago, Mrs. Schwarz comments, "so manytoday have found themselves, and seem to know better what they want to do. They also seem to be much more original in their thinking.

"Those whodemonstrate only show the unrest in the world and will soon find themselves. It is not much different, it's just that things are done mote openly today than before."

About retirement, Mrs. Schwarz sums it up this way, 11I' t t k m going o a e 1t easy and rest for about the first year. I'm just going to bowl, sew, play, and read, Then I hope to do some traveling although nothing extensive."

MRS. KARGO'SRETIREMENT ENDS 30 YEARS OF SERVICE

Mrs. Hilda Kargo, manager of the cafeteria for 25 years is retiring aft er 30 years of service to Lincoln High. In 1941, Mrs. Ka.rgo was appointed manager of the lunchroom, with the duties of planning menus,, ordering supnl i ""' <>nii t- k- MRS. KARGO l &.,cu, we ted 400 to 500 students daily," recalls Mrs. Kargo. 11The enrollment was larger than Lincoln High's present population, but because of the depression, many students brought their lunches from home. At that time, no item in the cafeteria sold for more than a nickel. Now, approximately 2000 students eat in the cafeteria."

Although the students are different, and the styles change, Mrs. Kargo finds the students' food preferences remain about the same.

ALL-TIMEFAVORITF.S

11They still like chili, spaghetti, •ashed potatoes and gravy, and pie, 11 says Mrs. Kargo. "At one time the cafeteria sold over 500 candy bars a day, but candy is no longer available to thea. Now the students buy more milk than before. 11

Mrs. Kargo has made no definite plans for her retirement except that she will wprk at the University of Michigan Commissary during the summer as she has done for several years.

Mrs. Kargo says, "It has been 30 good years and I thank the student body and faculty for their very fine cooperation and gpod will."

MR. LEONARD BIDS ADIEU

i\mongthe many persons bidfarewel I to Lincoln High is Mr. Cecil Leonard, whohas served as an administrative intern this year.

Mr. Leonard leaves the following farewell to Lincoln High:

11The time has come when it is necessary for me to say good-by to Lincoln High.

11 My year·here with the faculty and students has been a most rewarding ;and enjoyable experience.

111 wish to proffer my sincere thanks to all of you who made me feel an integral part of the school.

"r also wish to say to the student body that you are a grand group of young people. I am still astounded at your spirit, 'Candy Sale,' et al.

11 1 know that with spirit like that which you display, Lincoln High is in good hands."

MR.

EVANS MRS.EVANS 'Dynamic Duo' Head for Hills

11It' s been a good life; I have no regrets. 11

SO says Mr. C.E. Evans, a Lincoln High woodworkingshop teacher retiring after 38% years on the job.

Those years bring back many memories to Mr. Evans. Helping to recall those memories are familiar names in his classes--sons of some of his expupils!

HIREDIN 1928

Hired in February of the boomyear of 1928, Mr. Evans weathered the depression and a world war while teaching school.

During the war, when all equipment was hard to secure, the Lincoln High woodworking shop provided much of the furniture for Lincoln Northeast High School then under canst ruction.

Later, the Lincoln High School shop turned out various pieces of equipment for the Red Cross that were shipped all over the nation.

Not al I of the Projects Mr. Evans' classes have undertaken have been small. Three big barns on the State Fair Grounds were constructed by the shop classes, andmany of the buildings at CampMinis Kuya, the Boy Scout camp, were built by LHSshops over the years.

Even the classroom in which Mr. Evans teaches was constructed by shop class workers,

All of this work is not in the past, however. Orders still come in almost daily for various pieces of equipment that can be constructed in the Lincoln High shop.

Many of his proteges are now Prominent carPenters, working locally and throughout the nation. He ran into two of his ex-students while vacationing in Idaho seven years ago.

FUTUREPLANS

What's on the agenda now!

One of Mr. Evans' favorite pastimes, fishing, will occupy much of his time this summer.

He plans to hook his house trailer on the back of his car and head north and west for Montana and Idaho.

Mrs. Ruby Evans, attendance clerk and office secretary, will be resigning her position in order to join her husband in his retirement.

'NURSES NEVER RETIRE, THEY JUST FADEAWAY'

Public relations, finding anj filtering the facts, counseling, and generally being a "mother" to the nearly 2000· students has been the job of Mrs. Alice Youngs· cap, nurse at Lincoln High for J3,years, She will be re· tiring at the close of the school year. MRS. YOUNGSCAP

Before taking nurse's training, Mrs. Youngscap was a Lincoln High English teacher. "I had no idea that I would be back here when I was a nurse," commentedMrs. Youngscap, long a "lover" of Lincoln High. "I ca~t express how much I love kids.

111 dido' t think being a school nurse would be exciting enough, but when a friend of mine had me substitute for her here, I could see the excellent opportunity to be with high-school-age youngsters. I think they are the most wonderful people. I couldn't enjoy them more!"

Remaining at work at one school for 13 years is bound to chalk up a variety of memories and experiences. Joy Night has been a long favorite of Mrs. Youngscap. "It was always such a good way to mix with the faculty and was so 'out of character.' 11

SAMEOLDEXCUSES

As one might suspect, being a school nurse exposes one to the many excuses used when trying to get out of school "legally."

"Excuses to get out of school haven't changed a bit

since I've been here, and the funny thing is, I can see right through them. If I don't catch them the first time, I usually ~et them at some time, "she says.

"There's always the one where they say, 'I' ve got to go home, that's where my medicine is. Oh, no, you can't call. Mother works and there is no one at home.'

111 always tell them that they would be a lot better off if they would stay here with someone who is trained and paid to take care of them, rather than to be in bed at home all alone."

BETTERTHANHOUSEWORK

Mrs. Youngscap chose to be a nurse so that when her children were grown and gone, she wouldn' t be bored by having nothing better to do than housework day in and day out.

"It's a fine opportunity to work with young people and I can't think of anything more gratifying. When your family' s gone, you need something to fall back on," she says.

Despite the fact that her retirement means she will never again be actively engaged in nursing, she says, "To ParaPhrase General Mac Arthur, 'Nurses never retire, they just fade away.' 11

Whenshe retires she won't be tied down quite so tightly. Working in a church camp has attracted her, as all camps need a nurse.

Wistfully, she said, "I could never leave Lincoln High completely. I want to come back every year and be in Joy Night."

WINGROVEACCEPTSPOSITION AT NEBR.VOCATIONALSCHOOL

Claude H. Wingrove, instructor in Lincoln High School's machine shop, has resigned, effective June 30.

Mr. Wingrove has accepted the directorship of the technical shops at the Central Nebraska Area Vocation-Technical School at Hastings.

111 remember when this was nothing but a big empty room with a single light bulb, 11hij said as he looked at the Lincoln High shop through which a "battalion of youngsters" have come and gone in his 19 years here.

"Now there is $200,000 worth of lathes, milling machines, grinders, drills, and welding equipment," he said.

FIVE SHOPs

In September, Mr. Wingrove will be in charge of five shops: machine, automotive, electronics, drafting, and woodworking, as the 17-county area vocational school opens at Hastings.

The Hastings school is similar to a junior college but with the accent on vocational rather than academic studies, he said.

Besides the Lincoln High shop and the national honors won by his students in 1956 and 1958 in the Ford Motors contest, Mr. Wingrove said

he wouldmiss his many friends and associates here.

"You don't just spend 19 years someplace and not have it affect you whenyou leave," he said.

NATIVEKANSAN

A native Kansan, Mr. Wingrove was graduated from Kansas State TeachereCollege at Pittsburgh, Kansas, in 1937. For the next 10 years he taught school, worked in a Naval Torpedo Yard in Virginia, and served in the U.S. Navy. In 1947 he came to Lincoln High.

Mr. Wingrove and his wife Arlene have four sons, Ed, a sophomore at Northeast; Claude Jr., a &enior at Nebraska Wesleyan; Darold, a recent graduate of Milford Trade School; and George, a student at the Milford School.

Foreign Students Bid Farewell as School Year Terminates

Lincoln High students have had the opportunity to host three foreign students this year, two of whom are part of the AFS program.

RamonCastillejo from Spain and E)DnetAraya from Ethiopia were this year's AFS'ers. Helene Monnier, a French student, sPent her school Year in Lincoln. Each has written a farewell message to Lincoln High students,

AMERICANSFRIENDLY

Americans are usually very friendly but sometimes this seems superficial--! mean they greet you very nicely but that's about all. They are too busy and involved in their own worlds, However, I suppose it is the same for everybody, French and Americans, as well as others. Few people realize what problems a foreign student can have and what kind of help he needs.

TEACHER-STUDENTBARRIER

In the high school I went to in France, there was a barrier between teachers and students--they were not on the same level. Here the relations are so friendly! I do wish there was this friendship in French high schools.

I also liked the emPhasis you put on your role in the school--! mean you feel that you are important in the reputation of your school, that you can do something for it.

Oh yes, I forgot! something I wish you could change--the boys way of dressing!! Have a law forbidding them to wear those Bermuda shorts!

PLEASANTMEMORIES

There are many things I will remember with pleasure about Lincoln High when, I go back to France. First of all, the whole gang I went around with--it was a lot of fun to discover different American customs with them.

I' 11 recall, with a watering mouth, all the delicious malts I have been swallowing

(who cared about gaining weight) and my first stePs on ice, · Howmyankles kePt curving in and out! I' 11 remember howkids kept telling me about the snow they got(last year of course)and howeverY morning I looked anxiously out of the window, hoping to be blocked home by heaps and heaps of snow,

My first attendance at a game as a Pepper is one of my fondest memories. At first I felt so stupid in those red socks. I don't know why they were bothering me so much. Then all of a sudden I found myself going wild about the game and yelling myself hoarse.

I won't ever forget myfirst day at Lincoln High School. How could I? I was so scared and wound up. How was I going to understand P~ople? Howwas I going to make them understand my poor English? Where to go? sure, they kept talking about the north or the south Part of the building--how in the world was I supposed to know which Part was south or north in this school where I was for the very first time!

Finally the day was over, or I thought it was, but before leaving I had to struggle half an ho\lr with my locker to get it open! Back home, completely exhausted by the tension of this whole day, I felt like taking the plane and leaving right away. I'm glad I didn't though.

CLASSESEASIER

High school here is much easier (this dOesn' t imply I got good grades) than in France, Students don't have to Pass an exam at the end of the year in order to continue their education. FUrthermore, some of the subjects don't require any studying (chorus for instance).

I really did enjoy my stay here and I want to thank all who have been nice to me and helped me being happy here. I sure would like to come back one day, and would be very glad to h~ve anyone coming to France visit me.

HELENE

ATTACHEDTOSTUDENTS

I feel very friendly towards Americans, for they have been kind to me, especially the Lincoln High students. Because we are going to be graduated from the same school, I feel a special attachment to them.

My AFS family comes first, of course, but closely following are my friends and fellow students at LHS.

I didn't know too much about the U.S. when I came, so I' ve gradually I earned the way of life here during my stay.

Quite different from American schools, most of the schools in Spain are not coeducational and don't have so many choices in subjects. There, the students don't change classes, the teachers do. At noon, we eat at home; the daily schedule runs from 9:30 a.m.--1 p.m. and 3:30-7 p.m.

PRACTICALCLASSES

I believe the classes here are easier, due to the practical way they are taught. American History was quite hard for me, because I didn' t know all the fine details of U.S. history. I did have a general idea of the Civil War and a couple of other things, but that was all.

During the year, I participated in Chess Club, International Club, and Newcomers Club. All helped me to get acquainted with more people.

Glancing back, my first day was a maze! In my first class, Student Council, I sat behind Emnet. I didn't understand anything. Someone introduced us to the class, and then the period was over.

WHERE'STHENUMBERS?

After this, I tried to find Room 129. However, I was on the wrong side of the hall

Marty Says Sayonara; Next Stop-Japan

Marty Harris, a Lincoln High junior, was recently notified that he has been selected a& finalist in the American Field Service program.

Marty, who has been waiting since January to hear from AFS headquarters in New York, will spe~d the summer in Tokyo, JaPan, as a foreign exchange student.

He will leave for San Francisco on June 13; he will depart for japan the following day.

While waiting anxiously for school to close, Marty i_s taking Japanese lessons from acquaintances at the University of Nebraska,

Marty' s Japanese, family includes Mr. and Mrs. Hidetoshi Tajima and three boys. ages 12, 15, and 17. The mother, father, and oldest son speak English.

looking for the numbers and I had to ask someone where it was. After that, I had physics and then fourth-period Spanish.

This was the only class where I could understand something, when they spoke in Spanish, that is. Sixth period I went to the office because myschedule read dismissed my sixth period. The ladies in the office told me to go to physics but since I had already been there I didn't know what to do. I asked, and they told me it was ok (I think) so I returned to the Ihysics room.

Mr. Fisher was surprised but he signed all the papers. I didn't know what was going on, signing all those papers. After all this, I suppose you can say it was confusing.

ADIOS

Now, it's time to say goodbye. Yes, the time runs very fast and after one year of school I want to thank you all for your help and your kindness. You have been providing me with many experiences and many things more that I will take home with me. One of the things I will remember is the grand spirit at Lincoln High. I'm always glad when I meet somebody and he tells me that he is a graduate from LHS.

Good-bye and the best luck for all of you.

RAMON

SPIRITAMAZING

After a year at Lincoln High, I feel that Americans are very friendly and very fast working people. The cooperation amongthe students, the school spirit, and especfally the work on the candy sale have amazed mevery much.

The football season, the cheering of the PePPers, Picnics with my friends, and decorating eggs on Easter are the main things I will rememberabout myyear in the United States. However, my family life ranks as my first memory,

only and the greatest disaooointment I have concerning my stay here.

CHOICELIMITED

In Ethiopia, the schools are divided between commercial and academic schools, There is really not much choice except to take the required subjects. At noon, we have a long lunch, which is also good for taking a nap,

In Ethiopian schools, extracurricular activites are not stressed as they are here. Even though we have sIX>rts such as soccer and basketball, I had never dreamed of a pep club before I came to Lincoln High.

The classes are about the same, though the schedules are different. A class is taught two or three times a week, which gives us a much longer time to study, The fact that the classes here are held every day has made them seem harder than my cl asses at home,

At Lincoln High, I am a member of the International and Newcomers Clubs. Both of them have been good experiences, especially the International Club, in acquainting me with some important places in Lincoln.

CONFUSION

My first day at school was quite confusing and exciting. As my school in Ethiopia was a small one, it has been a change to be in such a huge building with so many students.

One thing to add! My American History II room is awfully cold in winter. I think it would be nice to have it heated.

I would like to come back and see all the people here again if there is any chance at all. It has been a great pleasure and a wonderful exPerience to spend the school year with you.

First Year One of Accomplishment

The Lincoln High HumanRelations Council, completing its first full year of operations, has emerged as one of the most respected organizations in the school.

1be council was founded in the spring of 1965 to identify the problem of social isolationism among minority groups within the school and, having defined the problem, take positive measures to correct it.

The HRC drive to gather books for the Delta Mission of Greenville, Mississippi, has received a tremendous res1xmse, not only in Lincoln, but throughout the state (a school in Firth, which will close after this term, donated its entire library to the drive).

In a brief review of the year, HRCmembers can look back with satisfaction at the council's accomplishments.

Included were a picnic for the children of Cedar's Home, a tour of the city for resthome patients during the holJerry's Sarber Shop

Crash!! Bang!! Old Radiators Bite the Dust

CRASH--BANG--BOOM--ZAP!!!

Is this the sound of the fearless Dynamic Duo in action? No? Is it the sound of the cook preparing lunch in the cafeteria? Nope? Aha, it's the slamming of locker doors between periods. Wrong again? Then what is this unearthly sound?

It is the thundering sound of men working in the classrooms of Lincoln High School, noisily installing new radiators to take the place of the old, delapitated, senile radiators which have caused both teachers and students alike to freeze in winter and roast in summer due to their unorthodox, unpredictable persona Ii ties.

The radiators have ruled the school rooms since they Hank's Auto Store Headquarters for Custom Speed and ChromeAccessories 216 So. 11

tou/1ller5-rl/ne

were first installed marty years ago. Now they are being taken out and their dynasty is rapidly coming to an end with the ushering in of a new generation of radiators.

They could not tolerate anybody or anything absorbing all the students' attention and they have been known to scold classes in their shrill voices at everything that was unsatisfactory to them.

In the middle of a beautiful, "flowing" lesson these awesome machines have been known to rudely interrupt with their demoralizing whistling or unholy thumping. that halted all oral classwork.

EFFICIENCYPLUS

These new radiators are real "honeys." They don't pound, whistle, or ·thump:to attract attention. In fact if you did not notice them clinging silently and humbly

on one side of the room, you would not. even knowthat they were there.

These new radiators are the opposite of the old ones; they are not spirited and egotistical, they do not strive to capture the attention of everyone. One might even say that they are dull and lifeless, but efficient.

Even though the new radiators are quiet and respectful and do not disrupt the beautiful continuity of class lessons, they somehow lack personality and style--they are just machines.

Lincoln High School will never be the same to the students. Something will be missing now--the friendly atmosphere of insecurity providea by the old radiators no longer existing except in the fond memories of the Lincoln High students.

Pfeiff's Pfile

Another school and athletic year nears its ending. The very sharp and direct question, "What was the score?" has been answered and is a matter of record. I can summarize the year by saying that improvement took place in some sports--"near-misses" in some, and some real disappointments in others.

My basic athletic philosophy was formulated here at Lincoln High School, far too many years ago, and the ingrediants for athletic success are very similar even though technique, method, equipment, etc. are different in some respects.

There is no magic formula to be a "winner," but here some of the old, tried, and standard ideas are still fundamental:

I) Winning is the second step--wanting to comas first! There remains no substitute for desire.

2) Like this Space Age in which we 1 ive, a good "power plant" is not only important, it is essential. Athletes need to think in terms of year-round physical conditioning.

3) A good "directional system" is also neededthat is-to be in shape mentally andemo\ionally to win games.

To those completing their Lincoln High School athletic careers we say, "We appreciate your efforts and wish you well." To those returning for another year we urge, "Set your sights high--be ready physically, mentally, and emotionally to makeareal, positive contribution to the '66-'67 school year."

Those of us on the staff have had our opportunity to compete on teams, we are "has beens," you will pass ,this way only once, it's IQ~r opportunity, don't waste it!

Batmen Beat Knights Again; Stats Bear Out Good Season

The Lincoln High baseball team wrapped up the 1966 season with a 4 -2 win at Elks Field, May 19.

The win was over the southeast Knights, making the Lincoln High--southeast series a clean sweeP for the Links, and leaving them undefeated in regular city action.

Bill Strain led the Links from the plate, getting two hits from three times at bat.

'Ibis was the last game for senior squad members.

With the end of the season comes time to compile season records.

The sports staff wishes to express its thanks to Jack Galusha, who compiled the statistics for us.

Here are a few of the more interesting statistics:

The Advocate sports staff, for the last issue of the paper, has selected several Link athletes as representatives of the best in their sports this year.

These, of course, are our personal opinions, derived from watching and writing about them this year.

our list includes only the squad members who have consistently given 100 per cent effort in both practices and contests.

Weregret that space forbids our recognition of all the fine squad members on all of the teams, Varsity, Reserve, or Sophomore, who have given their time and efforts to their respective sports.

Here, then, are the outstanding Lincoln High athletes of the 1965-'66 school year!

To A LockerRoom

Gee, I never thought this place could be so quiet. Guess it's because I'm the only one here-The other guys have already cleaned out their lockers, and gone.

Feels kind of funny to be opening this battered locker for the last time ...

I've spent three years in this room, And now, suddenly I've got to leave-never to locker here again ...

It's now that I'm beginning to realize what it means to be a competing athlete. It's funny how you never really realize the true value of most things--

Until ~fter you've already done or experienced them..

Now, as I begin the long and final walk toward the open door at the other

End of your narrow aisle, lined with low wooden benches, I recall all the things you've been to me: A hospital ward--where sprains, scratches, and bruises were mended with the traditional nitrogen and bandages;

A mad house--when we brought home a victory; And a weeping place--when defeat made its presence known. Yes, the time has come for me to leave you now-that is ... physically.

But before I go I want to make one final request of you:

"Add my spirit to the many that must already be haunting your cramped space,

For we select few, who wear the letter of our school, Have achieved something that many hope to-but only a few ever do."

Dick Is Medalist In Playoff Hole

Dick Pelletier, consistent leader of the Lincoln High golf team, gained the trophy for the individual champion in Norfolk on May 20, at the State High School Golf Tournament.

The 233 total effort of the squad was good for third place in the meet.

Pelletier tied with Omaha Westside' s Larry Hamer after 18, with 74 each.

Pelletier won the suddendeath playoff for medalist honors on the first hole, which he parred with a 4.

Lance Gloe also shot a 74, but his score dido' t count because he failed to qualify in district com~tition.
