All Systems Are 'Go'; School Year '66 Orbits

Recent space achievements reflect the forward look in American life So the students of Lincoln High, advancing in the countdown of another school year, are ready for Lincoln High' s new program of experimentation and progress.

Lincoln High' s student population has dropped slightly from last year's total of 2098. The total this year is 2087

Sophomores lead with 773 students, 356 girls and 417 boys.

Juniors follow with 669, about 100 less than the class of '69. The junior class includes 336 boys and 333 girls.

The senior class has 645 members, 320 girls and 325 boys.

Last year' s student population participated in an allschool, fund-raising project. During the 12-day campaign $19,000 was raised.

In addition to raising funds for the purchase of 140 new band uniforms, a previous debt was paid.

Also purchased were a grand piano for the orchestra and a stereo tape recorder for the voice classes.

Ten new teachers have joined the faculty this year, along with a new school nurse and an attendance clerk in the main office. Lincoln High

now has 98 members on its teaching staff.

WORLD JOIN AT LINCOLN HIGH

Angela Moses of India and Runar Vernhardsson of Iceland, better known as "Angie" and 11 Runie, 11 are this year's AFS students at Lincoln High

Leaving India August 6, Angie arrived in Lincoln August 10 to spend the school year with Lois Wolff, a senior at Lincoln High, and her family. Angie is one of 49 AFS students from India who wi 11 spend the year in the United States. One of her first impressions of America was that "the climate and scenery are much like that in Bangalore. I like America a lot." Angie is adapting well to America, although she commented that "Indian food is much hotter and spicier."

ADJUS'IMENTS

All her life Angie has attended English-speaking schools in India. The biggest adjustment she has had to make has been to the size of Lincoln High. She says , schools in Bangalore and all over India average about 800 students, usually with no more than 30 in a class. There, as in many foreign countries, students remain in one room for all classes and the teacher moves from room to room

All public schools in Bangalore require uni forms. Angie's was a navy pleated skirt, white blouse , navy tie, black shoes, and white socks. Subject matter seems to be the same there as here. Required classes in India include English, mathematics, Social Studies, science, and a second language which was Hindi for Angie. She alsospeaksKanarese, (continued on page 3)

A revised schedule will be in force for assemblies presented at Lincoln High School during the 1966-67 school year.

It includes both a morning schedule, involving first, second, and third periods, for regular assemblies, and an afternoon schedule, involving fifth and sixth periods, for pep rallies.

According to Mr. William Pfeiff, vice-principal of Lincoln High, this new schedule is intended to equalize the time allotted to each period on assembly days. In the past, certain periods have had to consistently bear the burden on assembly arrangements.

'Clean-Slate' Time

It's "clean-slate" time again-that time when teachers and parents try to impress upon us that it's high time to start anew. This is the time for a "fresh start" at the promises we make every year but too often don't seem quite able to

It's too bad about those promises, you know. They're all quite commendable. Aspiring to all l's and to a perfect citizenship record sounds great--unt i 1 aspiration turns to perspiration and goals are neglected.

Band's

New Look

When the newly outfitted band marches onto the football field and the results of the entire student body's efforts are on parade before the eyes of the community, Lincoln High "couldn't be prouder!"

Recent1y, the Lincoln Hiyh band was on display before football fans from the entire state when it participated in the University of Nebraska Band Day.

Every Lincoln High student, who last year helped in the uniforms fund-raising campaign, may be justifiably proud of the band's appearance, knowing that he had a part in bringing about the new look.

Clique-Major Institution

A major institution of youth culture today is the "clique." Wolves travel in packs, fish swim in schools, sheep move in flocks, and lions congregate in Prides, but the most picturesque herd-joiner is the human animal.

Sometimes factors such as achievment, intelligence and ability play a part. If one is good in sports, he may be in an elite group. Glamour in girls may enable them to achieve clique membership.

Cliques arise from many sources; some are based on one's social class because it is with his own group that the individual feels happiest and most secure. Many cliques arise from mutual interests such as clubs, hobbies, or athletics.

In the junior -high -tbroughcollege world, happiness is belonging to the "right cliques." They vary in size, solidarity, and in many other ways, but almost all are alike in one respect-the door is locked against everyone else.

BRIDGE IN LIFE

What are some of the advantages of being a joiner?

First, it provides the initial step from dependence upon parents to the free choice that this break with childhood brings.

Secondly, it can provide freedom from the family; a person is able to choose and be with friends of his own selection.

1bird, it gives a Person a sense of social success and Presti;e by being a member of the 'in gang."

Fourth, it fills the basic desire for which everyone

strives--the need to be accepted, the need to "belong. 11

Last, some DPrsons feel more comfortable; they are more relaxed and can have more fun if they are among close friends.

DISADVANTAGES

There are also very definite disadvantages of belonging to a clique. First, conformity is always present. Members must more or less think, act, dress alike, and use similar language patterns to be accepted.

Second, clique members often attempt to supervise and control the selection of dating partners and "outsiders" by criticizing and discussing them.

Third, if one is prevented from joining, withdrawal and i sol at ion may take place.

Last, members of cliques are often dis I iked by others. This is not beneficial to a Person because everyone should have as many different social contacts as possible.

To a certain extent, the clique serves its purpose well. It is only when a person permits his entire personality to be molded by the group that a clique ceases to be of value to the individual.

Cliques are a normal part of growing up. They are as common and natural as the frustrations one faces in everyday life. Whether or not one needs a "wall of security" is an individual decision. As long as a clique benefits one's Personality development, it has a place in today's society.

One should enjoy being many things with many people and also being a separate individual- -himself!,

His goals as a big senior, are to earn a good scholastie and athletic record of which he can al ways be proud and, of course, to have the fun traditionally reserved fpr seniors.

"Sophomores, " says Don, "heed this important advice from a senior who knows-- 'Enjoy high school while you can because it passes by too quickly.'"

Don's plans for the immediate future include massacring Northeast. His long-range plans involve his enrolling in the engineering curriculum at the University of Nebraska.

BEAT NORTHEAST is Don's devout wish.

Janet Spiker, enthusiastic cheerleader of Lincoln High, feels there should be "more formal pep rallies to boost our spirit!"

As a senior she wants to work hard but still have lots of fun and "oodles of spirit for Lincoln High. "

Janet urges sophomores to "be proud of LHS. Before you realize it, high school days are through and all the fun is over!"

She feels life would be better if each one would consider the other person' s feelings once in awhile, and really try to get along with everyone.

Her one wish is that she could "make Mr. Currie pay' for giving us those Friday exams after the Thursday night games, by putting him on the Cheerleader Squad."

When Janet graduates she hopes to attend the University of Nebraska and eventually to become a kindergarten teacher.

Jack Holland, varsity tackle, urges sophomores to have more spirit in sports and to do the "best possible" in school.

As a senior he wants to beat Northeast because this has been his secret urge ever since he was a sophomore and he realizes that this is his final chance to succeed!

"More dances after our football games," is Jack's suggestion. Yes! Yes! Yes!

Upon graduation he will go into the Navy for a four-year hitch. After that??

Jack's one wish is "to have an all-state football team while I'm here."

"Promote school spirit--wear a booster button," says Cheerleader Janet Spiker to Don Mahlman as Jack Holland and Berta Hall watch.

AFS Returnee Recalls Oriental Life

Over the summer months, Japan was the temporary home for Lincoln High' s 1965-66 foreign exchange student, Marty Harris.

11 1 really got along quite well," states Marty, "as all my 'family' spoke English except my youngest brother. Even then I was able to teach it to him in the short two months I was there. He was the only member of the family to pick up American slang!"

Marty's second oldest "brother", with whom he attended high school, took an interest in classical music and frequently played the violin. "I never even knew any classical music," relates Marty, "until my stay in Japan."

ATHEISM PREVAILS

Marty's Japanese family, consisting of his "parents" and his three "brothers," who ranged from junior and senior high students to one who was a college freshman, were atheists. This is, however, true of many families in Japan.

With his AFS family, Marty visited the ancient, historical part of Japan which is located south of Tokyo.

ern-style home," says Marty, "although many of the houses in that area are traditionally eastern. We dido' t wear kimonos or yakatas and the house was furnished with a western stereo- tape recorderhi - fi set. 11 This he found to be quite amazing.

Marty's home was located in a country region just outside Tokyo, According to Marty "apparently the residents had never seen an American close up before, because as I walked along the streets, I noticed everyone stopping to stare at me. Finally, when I donned Japanese clothing I became less noticeable. 11

Marty attended Hibyia, one of the best high schools in Japan. rt was originally set up by the emperor to train the country' s future leaders.

He attended three classes a day, each 100 minutes in length. Offered were such courses as math (calculus), physics, chemistry, English, art, music, and gym. nGyrn was really hard, 11 recalls Marty. "You can ki 11 yourself in 100 minutes!"

LONG DAY

Marty had to ride a train two hours to and two hours from school six days a week. His actual school day lasted from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

After arriving home in the evening,· Marty' s brother often studied from 8: 30 p. m. to 1:00 a.m., while Marty concentrated on studying Japanese and learning one of the four alphabets rather than doing regular homework.

While attending high school in Japan Marty became a member of the Judo Club; his brother was the captain of the team. He took two and one-half weeks of judo in school and attended a oneweek training camp.

"Each day," states Marty, "we dressed in our judo robes and with bare feet ran laps around the national capitol. It really felt wierd! All members of the judo club made a practice of running up and down the 51 steps of a nearby shrine many times a day.

Once while tackling these "killer" steps, Marty stopped and gasped, "I'm beat!" Two nearby American tourists were plainly taken aback by his use of English and promptly started a conversation.

"After a short talk with them," says Marty, 11 1 discovered that they were under the impression that I was on a scholarship, in training to become a Zen-buddhist priest! Of course they had wondered why I dido' t have my head shaved."

As for Japtnese food, Marty says the raw fish was "just great"; octopus and shrimp numbered among his favorites. "The American girls who went to Japan as AFS students got pretty fat," says Marty, "so I guess I'm not the only one who thought the food was good!"

49 TRAVEL TO JAPAN

After leaving the United States on June 17, Marty, along with 49 other AFS' ers, settled at the Olympic Village in Japan for a four-day orientation program. From here they left to meet their "families" on June 21.

During his stay in Japan, Marty's one complaint concerned girls. "They hlked around with little handkerchiefs and whenever you asked them a question, all they could do was hold these handkerchiefs over their mouths and giggle."

Also while in Japan, Marty was a guest on several television and radio station programs.

In a position to actually observe American tourists in Japan, Marty relates that 11 They were mostly fat, loud, and ugly, They don't make a good showing for the United States at all. In fact, they are even called •crazy foreigners' by the Japanese!"

Summing up, Marty feels that the AFS program is definitely worthwhile and urges all qualified and interested juniors to at 1east apply for the opportunity of becoming an American Foreign Exchange Student.

Sports in Indian schools include an annual athletic meet featuring intramural competition in track and field events. Basketball and field hockey are also popular.

IS IN COLLEGE NOW

Angie actually graduated in 1964 from what most Amercans consider high school.

Indian youths attend the same school from age five until they graduate at 15. She has completed one year of college and plans to finish the last three when she returns. She will then receive a Bachelor of Science Degree in Home Science. She then hopes to become either a child psychologist or a dietician.

Asked what she likes most about America Angie said, 11 1 don' t know what I like best, I like everything!"

Runar Vernhardsson arrived in New York City on July 16. His first impression of the United States was the "bigness of everything."

ul was most fond of your large cars,'' he said. "Ours are mainly European and much smaller."

He is from Reykjavik, Ice-· land, a city about half the size of Lincoln. He graduated last May from a high school of 400 students.

A typical high school day in Iceland begins at 8 a.m.

and ends at 12 noon. Some students also attend an afternoon schedule from 1 p.m. to 5 p. ID.

STANDARDIZED CURRICULUM

Runar has taken English, German, Danish, Icelandic, History of Iceland, and mathematics. All high school students in Reykjavik take the same subjects.

He is not only an avid basketball fan, but he has played for two years in Iceland. Runar is 6' 4" tall and hopes he will have a chance to test his basketball skills in America.

Runar is a member of the Lincoln High Student Council this year which is a new experience for him. In his high school there is no student government.

"The social life is quite different in Iceland," says Runar ." No prearranged dates are made. The boys meet the girls at a dance; then they spend the evening together.

GOOD, BAD REPORTS

UI had heard both good and bad things about America before arriving here," said Runar. "People told me about Al Capone!"

In Iceland Runar lives with his parents, a brother and a sister. His father is a detective. In Lincoln he is living with the Robert Mattingly family.

When Runar returns to his home, he hopes to work with the Icelandic Airlines.

This is the second year for head Twirler Colleen. The other girls are appearing for the first time.

To be a Twirler a girJ must be a member of band and know how to twirl a baton. The girls attended clinics this summer to increase their twirling ability.

The Twirlers appeared with the band at the University of Nebraska Band Day, Saturday, September 24.

The newly chosen Twirlers and the new band uni forms recently purchased add to the new look of the band.

The 1966 Links has been awarded a first-class rating by the 46th All-American Yearbook Critical Service of the National Scholastic Press Association.

The NSPA judged 1, 000 yearbooks from high schools all over the nation in groups according to enrollment. The yearbooks were judged in areas af production, from content to photography, writing, and layout.

Modeling the new band uniforms (panel one) are David Allred and Mary Lawson. The 1966-67 Twirlers (panel two), left to right, are Pat Walter, Margie smith, Colleen Atchley, (kneeling) Connie Miller, and Laura Schleuger.

ROSENBERGER

Craig Rosenberger, known to his cohorts as "Rosie, n is in the Arts and Sciences Curriculum and participates in Varsity football, Reserve tennis, and Reserve track.

He lettered in football, his favorite sport, because it allows for both individual and team effort. He is starting guard on the squad.

Playing against Omaha South in his sophomore year with the Varsity team rates as his most memorable experience.

His most embarrassing moment came when he was running upfield after a punt. He was knocked flat, and the incident was noticed by a sportscaster and announced on the air.

Pocket billiards, sports of all kinds, and reading are Craig's favorite pastimes.

In the pet peeve department his chief irratation is ••people who try to tell you how to do something when they know little about it themselves!"

Participation in sports has taught Craig that 'if you do something halfway, you might just as well not do it. In other words, play to win!"

Links 1-1-1 on Three-Garne Slate; Garrett, Tarpley, Moore Lead Team

Lincoln High won its season opener from Columbus, 20-12.

')be game uncovered some new talent in the form of the Links' running trio, Gary Garrett, Mel Tarpley, and last year' s sophomore starter, Charlie Moore.

Columbus got off to a fast start as it took the opening kickoff and went 66 yards in seven plays for a touchdown.

Colombus got the ball back from the Links via the punt route, but lost it on the 48yard line in its own territory.

Lincoln High took over and the offense started to click. Steve McKel vey, Link quarterback, tried four aerials in the drive, completing two to Lynn Dance.

Gary Garrett culminated the drive by plunging two yards for the TD. The point after touchdown kick was no good.

Lincoln High attempted an onside kick for the kickoff after the initial Link TD. The kick was recovered by the Black and Red after a wild scramble for the ball.

The Links then marched the rest of the way to the goal for the second touchdown. The PAT kick was good, and the Links had a 13- 6 margin writt en on the Columbus scoreboard in pink lights.

Lincoln High' s kickoff man, Don Mohlman, booted the ball into the end zone and Columbus took over on its 20 with 1:47 left in the half.

Columbus slipped through the Lincoln High "prevent" defense toward the Link goal. Then Fred Warner, the Discoverer helmsman, launched a 46-yard pass play that ended with Dan Able scoring for Columbus, and bringing the score to 13-12.

MOORE

Terry Moore, enrolled in Engineering Curriculum, plans to attend the University of Nebraska or Kansas State University.

His extracurricular activities include football, basketball, and track. He is currently president of the LClub.

Football, the sport in which he lettered, is his favorite because, "I like the contact."

Terry likes the coaching staff at Lincoln High. He feels that participation in sports has taught him the value of teamwork." You have to give and take to get along with the other members of the team."

Terry's most memorable experience in sports was when he played in a varsity football game in his sophomore year at Lincoln High.

In the embarrassment department, Terry's off-thecuff speech at a pep rally rates first.

play, al though the statistics didn't bear this out. The Links garnered 87 net yards in the first half while Hastings gained 10 3.

The Links, seemingly unable to generate an offense in the last two periods of play, gained a net total of nine yards compared to Hastings' 80.

The Tigers' offense showed excellent ball control in the second half; the defensive team didn't allow the Links a first down in the third and fourth quarters.

Although neither team was able to get the ball across the goal line, both defenses were hard put to keep the opposing offense from scoring.

The most serious scoring threat from the Links came at the end of the second quarter when the Links made a 56-yard march to the Hastings 2-yard line. However, the Links ran out of downs before reaching the end zone.

Gary Garrett led the Links for the second straight week, as he rushed for a total of 69 yards.

PIUS X

It was a black day in Mudv i 11 e, for Casey, mighty Casey, had struck out!

However, there were some good results stemming from the 3 2-6 defeat.

Possibly the most important was the "blooming"of Don Mohlman at varsity quarterback.

When the ground attack proved ineffective against the Pius line, in came Don to put on an aerial display.

His first pass, good for

five, was to Bart Glather. The second pass, which came in the third period, was to Glather again, and was good for a badly-needed 17 yards and a first down.

In the last quarter came an aerial barrage that netted 44-yards.

Lincoln High' s rushing was inconsistent. Gary Garrett came up with some spectacular plays, highlighted by his 33yard run late in the second quarter which set up the Link TD.

Charlie Moore and Mel Tarpley contributed to the drive, but it was up to sprinter Roger Rife, up from last year' s Reserves, to barrell to the TD.

The total net offense for the Links fell short of the Pius figure. The Black and Red had 185 yards, compared to Pius' 333.

Harriers C.apture Fremont Invitational

While Lincoln High's football team was being upset, the cross country team, rated an underdog, was surprising many at the Fremont Invitational.

Lincoln High finished fourth behind Fremont, Boys Town, and Kearney.

Brad Fortney, Lincoln High's top miler in track last yesr, led the Links in his first year out for cross country, placing eleventh.

Mike Grass, top runner for the Links a year ago, was right on Fortney' s heels with spot number 13.

A sophomore, John Gross, took the thirtieth spot in his first cross country meet in high schpol.

A long, Lincoln High drive in the last quarter iced the cake for the Links.

HASTINGS

The Lincoln High-Hastings contest turned out to be one of those "well, at least we dido' t lose" affairs.

Lincoln High appeared to dominate the first half of

20's Costumes Scarcity Causes

Crews Concern

"Finding enough au th en tic 1920 costumes will probably be pretty difficult:• is the consensus of Iris Krumins and Susie Brice who have been appointed co-chairmen of the Costumes Cammi ttee for the All-School Play, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

School To Welcome Parents of Sophs

Lincoln High School doors will open for the annual Sophomore Open House, to be held October 25 from 7: 30 to 9: 30 p. m.

Students are asked to wear dark clothing. Boys need to wear dark suit coats, white shirts, and a long dark tie.

Girls should wear dark round-neck sweaters or darkcol ored "nothing" blouses with sleeves.

"The main problem is that costumes of the 20' s are not old enough to be collectors' items, yet not new enough to be pl en ti ful ."

The play will be presented Wednesday, October 26, in the Lincoln High School Auditorium. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m.

Other members of the costumes Committee faced with this problem are Carolyn Greer, Linda Knight, Linda Loos, Mary Newcomer, Jane Peterson, Judi Schwartz, Sarah Srb, and susan Wilson.

Semifinalists Announce

es-I

n Nat'l Merit Tes ting

It is widely accepted that 1 ife is a gamble in which chance and luck play significant roles. Many believe that every action involves numerous risks.

For instance, each of the 4·, I 4-8, 500 on the nation's highways in 1965 was the victim of gambling-on his own Ii fe or on the 1 ife of others.

Whether or not the whole of 1 ife is really a gamble is left to the individual to decide, but we know most definitely that the business of driving is a gamble, and that we bet our 1 ives every time we drive or are passengers in a motor vehicle.

Tragically, the betting seems to be "rigged,,, because almost every year records an increase in the number of fatalities and injuries on the nation's highways.

Statistics show that nearly 80 per cent of highway accidents are the direct result of driver error. This means that of every five accidents that occur the driver causes four.

If you as ·a driver would your habits with the same tance you give to your everyday 1vi ng habits, the gamble on our highways coulo be considerably reduced.

Every time you race a stop light, pass in a no-passing zone, or are tempted to and remember that you are the American game of 11 You Bet Your L1fe," for keeps!

More than 30 per cent of the drivers involved in fatal dCcidents in 1965 were under 25 years of age. will the statistics reveal this year?

The inevitable conclusion to this gambling game is that not enough is done. It is only when each driver puts patience and common sense, and habits of safety into practice that he will actually have a chance to win this gambling game.

"BEAT SOUTHEAST" is Cheerleader Bootsie Pudists' favorite expression. We' 11 go along with that!

Bootsie has been busy throughout her high school years. She began with being elected president of the sophomcYre class and followed this with the vice-presidency of the junior class. She belongs to Art Club, is a member of Hovland's Hi-Styler Board, and is secretary of the Cheerleader Squad.

Her one wish is "that every student at Lincoln High would take pride in our school and stick by our teams through thick and thin."

Attehding the University of Nebraska or · the University of Michigan where she will study fashion design or merchandising is included in her plans for the future.

Steve McKelvey, quarterback on the Varsity Football Team, likes the coaching staff best about Lincoln High.

As a senior he would like to start a Fellowship of Christian Athletes Chapter at LHS. According to Steve, "It' s a great organization. and I feel the Links would benefit by installation of a chapter at Lincoln High."

His extracurricular activities include Varsity Football, Reserve and varsity Basketball, and L Club. He is also a Home Room Representative.

Steve's favorite pastimes are sitting around the lot and pumping gas at Bud' s. His one wish is to take state in baseball.

His plans for the future are hazy. He is most assuredly college bound but where and in what curriculum he has yet to decide.

Betsy Stilwell, Varsity Cheerleader, likes "the way our great senior class gets along togethet' best about Lincoln High.

While in high school she has participated in Mimes, Red Cross Council, International Club, County Government Day, and the Lincoln Teenage Project. She has also been a Home Room Represent2tive and both a Reserve and Varsity Cheerleader.

As a senior, Betsy wants to "do my part in raising LHS spirit so we can get Lincoln High clear to the top and keep it there where it belongs!!'' " , k'd Her favorite expression is Oh, you re 1ding' and her favorite pastimes include washing a white .falcon, playing football on Sunday afternoon, and eating baby food for lunch.

Included in Betsy' s plans for the future are enrollment in the Teachers College at the University of Nebraska and then .eventually working with physically or mentally handicapped children.

Bill Strain, defensive halfback on the Varsity Football Team, lists wearing booster tags, being a senior, and guarding the halls of good old LHS as his favorite pastimes. As a senior he wants to graduate "feeling I've done the best I could over the past three years both scholastically and athletically!'

Bill's advice to underclassmen is "F o 1low the example of this year's great Senior men."

A Sophomore Assembly is scheduled for October 24 to introduce the eight sophomores selected in the primaries. The general election will be held October 25 to elect four members, two boys and two girls. Good luck to all sophomores!

His plans for the immediate future are to trample both Northeast and Southeast in football and to take state in baseball. Enrolling in the Business Curriculum at the University of Nebraska is his long-range goal.

BEATING SOUTHEAST, growing three and gaining 30 pounds are all included in Bill's one wish.

Brad Fortney has the distinction of being one of the few sophomores who has lettered in track.

Since then, he has won a second letter in track and has participated in football and swimming.

The never-ending support by Cheerleaders and Peppers is what he likes best about Lincoln High. He is one of the two or three persons in : the last few years to list "have none" under the pet peeve category.

Now out for cross country, he is making an impressive showing; he finished eleventh at the Fremont Invitational, placing highest among the Links.

His most memorable moment wasn't his, in a sense. It came when, as a sophomore, he watched Kent Radke win the gold medal for Lincoln High in the 880 at the State Track Meet.

Brad says he likes all. sports at Lincoln High and also that participation in sports has taught him that "its all mental!"

"watching girls" rates as his favorite pastime.

His most embarrassing moment probably gave him his fill of girl-watching (for a while, anyway). As a sophomore, at a swim meet at Hastings, he somehow wound up in the girls locker room. He couldn't get out the same way he came in, and the girls were cpming through the door

FORTNEY GRASS

Mike Grass, in the Business Administration Curriculum, plans to enter the University of Nebraska after he graduates.

Known to his friends as "Mouse," Mike is presently the historian for the L Club.

Playing touch football on Sundays rates as Mike's favorite pastime.

Last year, when the hopes for Harold Scott's cross country team looked bleak, Mike, then a junior, surprised everyone, when he became the team leader, generally placing highest of the Links.

Mike was the only crosscountry man from Lincoln High to be named to the All-City team, which rates as his greatest experience.

His most embarrassing experience came when he finished last in a Reserve track meet (he has been out for track, as well as Reserve wrestling). He attributes his poor finish to some hot dogs he ate, which dido' t agree with his running.

Mike likes Cross Country best "because it's an individual sport," and feels 11 it has taught me good sportsmanship."

The sports program and its great coaching staff are what Mike likes best about Lincoln High.

A rather strange pet peeve closes the look at Mike. "the Mod look.

Links 'Go Marching In' To Grid Tune of 3-1-1

Coach Andy Loehr' s gridders, smarting from the Pius X defeat, made a decisive comeback beating DeLaSalle of Kansas City, 32-18.

Don Mohlman, in his first start at end, did an outstanding job, catching five Steve McKelvey passes. Rick Sills set up a Lincoln High TD by blocking apunt DeLaSalle scored first with the point after attempt being foiled by the Link's defensive line.

Taking the kick, Loehr' s Links marched upfield to set up a six-yard plunge by Gary Garrett for a Lincoln High TD. The PAT kick was no good which tied the score at the end of the first quarter at 6 all.

In the opening seconds of the second quarter DeLaSalle opened up With a.72-yard pass. Again the point after conversion was stopped short of the end zone.

Sills blocked a Titan punt, downing it on the six-yard line to make the second Lincoln High touchdown possible.

Extra point tries were jinxed as there were none tallied for either side in the first half.

In the third quarter Tarpley took a 21-yard jaunt over center for a Links TD. Again the kick for the point after was no good.

Harriers Finish 4th; Still Ahead in City

Despite dismal notes hanging in the cross-country locker room, Lincoln High has not finished behind any other Lincoln school so far year.

At the Wesleyan Invitational Friday afternoon, Lincoln High finished fourth behind Kearney, Omaha Central, and Hastings.

Brad Fortney was the highest Lincoln finisher, turning 10: 34 on the 2-mile course, for sixth place. Mike Grass was literally "on his heels,'' finishing seventh.

KINGSCREST

While the Links didn't exactly walk all over Grand Island, they are now 3-1-1.

The 21-20 victory at the Third City came by virtue of a Don Mohlman blocked-pointafter. attempt in the first period.

Otherwise, the Links just traded touchdowns with the Islanders.

Mel Tarpley had a good evening, ·as he scored all three of the Lincoln High tallies. The first TD brought Lincoln High out front, 7-6. It was a 41-yard pass from Steve McKelvey; Tarpley' s second score also came in the second period, on a 2-yard plunge.

The third TD, in the last Quarter, brought Lincoln High ahead to stay. Tarpley ran the ball (shades of Harry Wilson) 47 yards for the score. Gary Garrett's improved toe scored 3-3 on PAT kicks.

Most of the Links did a good, consistent job. The backfield speed was put to good use; the fast backs got farther through the holes before they hit bottom. Credit for the holes, of course, must go where it is due the line. Anchored by such veterans as Craig Rosenberger, Lynn Dance, and Leo Krcmarik, the line has come around from early-season pita-pat, to ripping gaping holes in what was the opposition's defensive line.

Steve McKelvey and Don Mohlman have both shown what they can really do McKelvey has matured from the j ittery second-stringer of a year ago to a first-rate Varsity helmsman, and Don Mohlman, after spending last year piloting the Reserves to an undefeated season, has come to rest at the end position, where he is a bonafide All-City candidate.

Sparkplugs of Pep

Peppers do more than attend numerous Pep Club meetings. Every Pepper gives her loyalty and devotion to the best school ever--HER SCHOOL. Her enthusiasm may well spark the team into the vital extra effort needed.

Her spirit in making tags and posters compensates for any 1ack of art ist i c talent. She may decorate the goalposts brisk autumn afternoon, perhaps on the same day she has risen before the sun to deliver good luck signs she made the night before.

Despite the fact that Pep Rally ski ts are usua 11 y amusing rather than dramatic efforts does not daunt the Peppers who rehearse faithfully to put on a "good show." Amid a myriad of rustling pompons Peppers often cheer themselves hoarse.

In victory or defeat the Lincoln High Pep Club is proud of its team's performances.

Dignity in Defeat

Lincoln High is a school-the greatest. WE all know that and we try to make everyone else know it--when we win our games. But do we honest 1y show good sportsmanship when we' re 1os i ng? Do we the opposing team know that "the_ Links couldn't be prouder" in defeat as well as in victory?

It \ is, indeed, often difficult to be proud of one's ; school in defeat, but isn't it alsoagreat achievement to be a good loser?

The test which defeat presents to an individual , as we 11 as to a schoo 1 , is a hard one to pass but the majority of Lincoln High School students can do it.

Let's really stand behind our schoo 1 and our teams i-and when they 1 re down, let's try.all the harder to rise above defeat fnstead of expending our energies on juvenile pranks of "revenge for the loss."

Let's al 1 really show everyone that no matter what happens, we couldn't be prouder of our school because Lincoln High, to us, is the BEST!

Debaters 'Eye' future Tournaments

If you have noticed a number of Lincoln High students walking around with what seem to be recipe boxes tucked under their arms, it is because they are debaters. These industrious persons have been busy since the second week of school collecting proof for quote cards.

rt should be a great season this year according to Mrs. Suzanne Merwi ck, debate coach at Lincoln High. The first dual tournament, November 19, is at Creighton Prep in Omaha and also in Norfolk.

Both novice and advanced debaters this year will be debating the topic "Foreign Aid Programs of the United States should be limited to non-military assistance."

In her class, Mrs. tries to teach her students that winning is not ily the most important result but rather enjoying debate and competing honestly and ethically is the primary purpose of the activity.

Links To Have Another Go at Rockets

The quarter-century rivalry began at the initial meeting October 2, 1941, between White'n Black and Red'n Black. In the first game the Links troops whipped Northeast 13-6.

It was 1949 before the Rockets could put together enough

strength to pinch the Links 14-12.

Links victories range from a 6-0 breath-catcher in 1943 to a 60-0 rout in 1954.

The wind was howling out of the north; the rain was slidi ng through the orifices in spectators' raincoats. ' Twas not a night fit for humans to be abroad.

Yet Lincoln High was dominating in one of the toughest rivalries in Nebraska prep football, pulling out the victory by a "cool" 13-7 over Lincoln Southeast.

Lincoln High was plagued by fumbles throughout the game, losing three. Two touchdowns, one for 90 yards, were called back because of penalties. The Links, however, like the mailmen (rain, sleet, snow, etc.), came through to bowl over the Knights.

The Link ground game was awesome. The offense netted 268 yards rushing to Southeast's 55. The Link line recorded another shining performance as they cooled off the Knight defenders and allowed the backs to reel off the needed yardage.

Charlie Moore took the ball seven yards over center for a touchdown with 52 seconds left in the first. Don Mahlman had set it up with a spectacular mid-air fumble recovery; Gary Garrett's PAT kick was blocked.

Lincoln High was behind in the passing department, how ever, 23 to 17 yards.

THIS WEEK 1 S 11 WITH-IT 11 FRACTURED FAIRY TALE

Once upon a time in the hallowed halls of LHS, there lived a beautiful queen. She was counted a real swinger among her subjects, and this week was all charged up in anticipation of the upcoming ball, where she and her court would really "rockout" ! ! ! ! ! !

Before the dance she was making the scene at the annual joust, where the team representing LHS was decidedly trouncing Ye 01 de Central ville of Sioux City!

'Twas two days before the 5th of November, and the queen was really getting charged up thinkin 1 about the groovy sound of her favorite combo, J. Harrison B. and the Bumbles, but she couldn 1 t go with out a really cool dress!!!!!!

So, after the big victory she sped home and ran to her closet door. Flinging it open she gasped in horror, "Gee.closet, you're really out of it. There isn't a rag hanging here that's with it enough to wear to the ball!"

She quickly hopped into her 650 Triumph and raced down to the glittering Gold fashion castle, where she immediately found the dress of her dreams!!!!

southeast drew second blood early in the third period as Dave McEwan rambled for 20 yards and a touchdown. The PAT kick was good, and Southeast was in front, 7-6.

With 8:55 left in the last period of play Garrett stormed six yards into the end zone; then kicked the extra point for the winning margin.

Despite North Platte's scoring in the first two minutes of play, the Links bounced back to take the Bulldogs, 54-13, Friday at North Platte.

With 7: 03 le ft in the first quarter, Melvin Tarpley went 16 for 6 points. Garrett ki eked the point after.

Charles Moore and Gary Garrett both scored touch downs in the opening quarter on 30-yard runs. The score at the end of the first was 20-6

In the second quarter of play the Links grabbed two more TD' s,the first by Garrett on a 9-yarder. Then Tarpley snagged a 58-yard pass from McKelvey to end the half with Lincoln High 1 eading North Platte, 33-6.

In the last half, Garrett, Tapp, and Moore all scored on short plunges. Two of the scores were set up by Bulldog fumbles.

Question: Are Links Winners? Losers? In Cross

Country

Today' s emphasis in sports as in other fields is to work hard, fight the good fight and, unless your efforts be in vain, victory must surely be the ultimate reward.

Not so, at least for the Lincoln High cross country team. In the Wednesday City Meet, even though Fortney ana. Grass finished first and second, respectively, the Links folded to Southeast' s riers 21-22.

Here's the scoop. Brad Fortney crossed first with an e. t. of 19: 26 for the l. 9-mile course. Mike Grass was on Fortney' s heels with an e.t. of 10: 29.

However the Knights captured places 3-5-6-7 to better Scott' s Scurriers by one point.

How would you like to sit immobile for four hours in order to have your picture taken--that is, sit absolutely still with never a twitch That was how long it took in the early 1800' s when the science of photography was making its first contributions to satisfy man's egotistical desire to see his face recorded for posterity

Lincoln High students are presently very much picture-conscious. What with senior photographs and underclassmen "shots''no one can escape the revealing eye of the camera

Actually, the process of .photography is nothing new. Leonardo Da Vinci, 1452-1519, was the first to visualize and describe in writing what he called the camera obscura. It consisted of a dark box (or a room) with a small hole in one wall to admit light. Rays of light entering through this hole reflected an inverted image of objects outside the box onto the opposite wall

The artist sitting inside the camera would then trace the image onto the wall or material fastened to the wall. The c amera ob s cura was probably the first successful means of reflecting an image on a screen.

The first photographic prints made by means other than tracing were done by Thomas Wedgewood and Humphry Davy in the early nineteenth century. They based their process on the findings of one Johann Heinrich Schulze who accidentally found , in 1727, that the color of a clear solution with a trace of silver in it changed to purple when exposed to light.

Permanent photography found its beginnings with Joseph Niepce , a Frenchman. After his death in 1833, Louis Daguerre, his partner, carried on and developed the product known as the Daguerreotype This method involved the use of a polished, silver-coated plate , sensitized to 1 ight by exposure to furn.es of iodine crystals. This method was popular until 1851 when Frederick Scott-Archer invented the wetcollodion process.

The more familiar gelatin dry-plate came as a great advance in photography and overcame the disadvantages of the wet plate. This process permits the use of glass, film, or paper and is the process used today although improvements are continually being made.

Colored, as well as time-1 apse photo graphy, micrography and macrography (photography of very small and very 1 arge objects) have been developed greatly in the past few years. Pictures completely developed in 10 seconds are just as amazing as pictures of the moon yet they are both commonplace today.

A miracle of modern know-how is the Polaroid Land camera, developed in 1948 and named for its inventor, Mr. Land.

This process consists of two layers of sensitized material with p ods of chemicals placed at intervals between the layers. The photographer, by pulling the film a: predetermined distance causes the pods to be crushed and the chemicals to spread between the outer, negative layer, and the inner , positive layer. Complete development takes between 10 and 60 seconds.

Twenty years ago it would have been thought impossible to merely push three little buttons, count to ten, and have at one' s fingertips a photographic reproduction that took at least four hours to produce 100 years before

MUSIC ACTIVITIES ATTRACT WIDE INTEREST

Capital City To Host 1200 At Statewide Music Clinic

The halls of Lincoln High School will resound with harmony and dissonance alike as the 1966 Nebraska Music Educators Association Annual Clinic and Convention gets underway for its three-day convention November 17, 18, and 19.

The Audition Cammi tteethen listened to the tapes and chose the student participants knowing them only by number.not names.

Students attending theAllState Chorus are chosen by the high school's music intructors. String instrumentalists do not try out for admittance but are judged for placement the first day of the clinic.

Madrigals Busy Rehearsing For Upcoming Performances

Madrigals was organized at Lincoln High in 1962 as a group performing solely for the National Honor Society Assembly. However, so much interest was shown, that a new Madrigals group now selected every year is no longer limited to a single performance.

The madrigal is a pastoral song, in which two or more voices sing separate melodies Itali an comp o sers began writing madrigals in the late 1200• s.

DEVELOPMENT IN ENGLAND

Outside of Italy the form developed chiefly in England. The English madrigal flourished in the first quarter of the 17th century. More than two dozen composers contributed some 40 volumes of madrigals during this period. In England, the madrigal had a number of names including songs , canzonets, and ayres.

Period ' Three elected GerEce Filbert, president; Linda Hunt , vice-president; Pam Lyons, secretary; Elizabeth Weyhrauch, andDebbie Cruder

Madrigals sing, upon request, for many organizations in Lincoln. The group will per:form for the Lincoln High Thanksgiving and Christmas Assemblies. librarians. ' Glee officers for Period Four are Kay Stiner, president; Patty Bogenrief, secretary; Trudy Haeffner and Jan Dutton, librarians.

The Lincoln High Madrigals derived their name from the type of songs they sing.

During a performance they sing a cappella, which is typical of madrigal singing.

THE ADVOCATE future Teachers

Visit Institute

The Future Teachers Club recently took a field trip to the Christian Record Braille Foundation, 4444 So. 52 St., where several club members, interested in teaching the handicapped, had the opportunity of visiting a nursery school for visually impaired children.

The organization, which has its national headquarters in Lincoln, began in 1899. The Foundation supplies free services in Braille and largei print materials, records, and tapes to 33, 000 blind persons in 84 countries.

The Braille alphabet "read" by the blind is a system of six raised dots which symbolize letters, numbers, music, and punctuation. Louis Braille, a 15-year-old blind French boy invented the system. Today, even wrist watches are available in Braille.

The government allows Braille literature free postage because of its charitable content. The Foundation relies on donations to meet the printing expenses for its five monthly magazines.

Adolescents

Look around you! Go ahead, look around you and examine the many different types there are of the species we call the male adolescent or, more commonly, 'the teenage boy.' Perhaps you may never have noticed it before; but there are many specific classifications of said species which may be readily identified by anyone trained in the art.

Surely one of the most obvious is Al Athlete. Al is that great, huge, six-footsix, two-hundred-ten pound package of solid muscle wrapped in an attractive letter sweater, displaying the symbols of his past glories, followed by 20 female fans. Al doesn't say much; he just flexes his muscles and smirks.

Second on the 1 ist is Larry Leader, a natural-born organizer---president of this, chairman of that, and head of everything else of a worthwhile nature!

Although Larry organizes the big things he sometimes forgets the trivial matters such as putting on his shoes before school or using Crest instead of Brylcream on his toothbrush, or even going to class.

Next up is Joe Joker, the class clown, the life of every party, the one every teacher wishes to do without. Joe keeps the class in stitches with his antics and his father in tears with his grades.

AUTOGRAPHS ANYONE?

Man, here comes Gary Groovy! He is definitely one of the simplest to identify. Gary walks confidently with his head tipped upward as if he were fascinated by the ceiling. He favors madras jackets andisnever without. llis sunglasses and personalized pen for signing autographs. Gary is not hard to find, just hard to get rid of, especially

when his favorite topic of conversation comes up- - himself!!!

GENUINELY GREGARIOUS

Certainly the list would not be complete without Doug Decent----dependable, always willing to do a favor, good-natured, and a real friend. Doug would give you the shirt off his back except that he has already given it to some other friend.

Last and practically least is Bill Blah who acts as if he hasn't had any sleep for at least three weeks. He goes around in a daze al 1 day, walking into walls, tripping over chairs, and mistaking student teachers for seniors.

Poor Bill needs his rest and he gets it, too,----in every class!!!

County Gov't. Day

December 7 Event

County Government Day, a program to educate students on how government works at the local level, on aday-byday basis, will be an event on December 7.

Sponsored by the American Legion, and assisted by its Auxiliary, the Women's Division of the Chamber of Commerce, and County Government Officials, County Government Day originated in Nebraska in 1947.

Presiding as state chairman is Judge Herbert Ronin and as county chairman Judge W. W. Nuernberger.

Nine political, three nonpolitical, and three appointive offices will be filled; however, this year the traditional election will not be h e ld.

Students to attend County Government Day will be chosen by a committee of teachers and advisors from juniors who did file.

Now that you have completed this easy course on the identification of the male adolescent, go ahead and look around at the boys. Do any of them resemble any types described? Or perhaps there' s a combination of one or two character types?

This is not to say that every boy w il 1 be an Al or Larry or Joe, but seriously, how dull high school life would be if students (and teachers) didn't have someone to 'knock' while passing through the halls!

Crowned; Links March Out to 6-2-1 Tune

Lincoln High capitalized on team effort and homecoming spirit to defeat a toughrat ed Sioux City Central team, 27-26, Thursday night at Seacrest Field.

The way to victory was led by a combination of Steve McKelvey's passing arm (with Lynn Dance and Don Mohlman on the receiving ends), Melvin Tarpley's and Charley Moore's tough driving for most of the yardage racked up, and by the expert blocking of Terry Moore , who foiled two Iowan extra point tries and gave the Links the needed edge.

First-half scoring alternated beginning with the Links' 16-yard pass from McKelvey to Dance for the TD. Garrett's point after was on the mark.

Sioux City, with 45 seconds left in the first quarter, found a spot on the scoreboard with a touchdown and the point after.

In the opening minutes of the second quarter, Charles Moore took a hand - off and broke upfield for 72 yards and a Links score; the point after by Garrett was good.

Third period play brought two Sioux TD' sin succession, but both point after kicks were blocked by Moore.

From the stands, prospects began to look a little dim for Coach Andy Loehr' s boys as the third quarter neared its end. But the Links saw it differently. With 1:52 to go in the third, Tarpley scooted himself and the ball across the goal line for six; Garrett put it over the bar for one more.

Lincoln High's McKelvey added the final six points early in the last period to give the Links an all-important one point margin to win the season topper, 27-26

GLATHAR

Bart Glathar, in the Business Administration Curriculum, plans to attend the University of Nebraska where he will major in Business Administration.

Bart has been doing a little changing around on the Lincoln High team this year. Although he started at end, he has done stints at the tackle position.

Jiaving participated in both Reserve baseball and Varsity football, Bart says he prefers football because of "the physical contact and the thrill of victory after a hard-fought game."

"The good spirit. of the students toward all sports events and the fine experienced coaching staff' are what Bart likes best about Lincoln High.

Hunting, reading , and watching football games on Sunday are his favorite pastimes.

While at Lincoln High , Bart has participated in L-Club. Lettering in football in his junior year rates as his most memorable experience.

At a game played at sea-

crest October 28, Lincoln

High was given a sizable defeat, 40-19, by Northeast.

The Rockets scored first with 6: 50 left in the first quarter; the point after try was good.

To return the compliment, Coach Andy Loehr' s "killers" scored via Garrett with only 36 seconds remaining in the first quarter; try for the point was blocked.

Lincoln High' s Tarpley, with 2 : 18 to go, scored on a nine-yarder for 6 more, but no point.

According to the first two quarters of play it looked as though victory could fall to either team; however , the second half was quite a different story.

Northeast scored two TDs, the first with 6: 16 left in the third and the other with 5 minutes remaining in the fourth , to make the score 34-12.

Tapp then scored on a laststand effort for the Links, with 53 seconds left in the game: this time Garrett put it through the uprights for the point after.

Word is 'State' For Link Harriers

Each of Harold Scott's Fearsome Foursome finished seven th or better to put the team in contention for the state title.

Mike Grass led the pack for the Links with third place and a 10: 19 time. Brad Fortney was next, with fourth, and a 10:22 time , followed by Jim Shaw arid Steve Sieler, who finished sixth and seventh, respectively , with a 10:28 and a 10:29.

Reserves End 4-1-1; Next: Varsity Squad.

"I think that there are a lot of ballplayers on this Reserve team who have the potential to make it on Varsity next. year "is the comment of coach Grant Simmons.

Coached by Bill Story and Simmons , the Reserves have compiled a 4-1-1 mark this year, losing only to the Omaha Westside Reserves.

Tim Keelan piloted the team this year from the quarterback spot, but had plenty of help from some fast, tough backs, and a strong line

Mike Shea led the team in touchdowns, as he tore through for 11.

Stan Johnston rated praise from Simmons as the team "work horse " in ground- gaining.

One of the spectator highlights of the season was when tackle Dave Ripley moved into the backfield , under coaches' instruction, and carried the ball for a point after touchdown!

Gene Cunningham led the team in tackles from his 1 ine - backing position on the defensive squad.

Sophs Victorious; Chalk Up 3-2 Mark

Most sophomore football teams wind up with a season re c ord of 1- 4 or possibl y 2-3 in a very good year , since the sophomore squad is usually a training ground.

Lincoln High' s sophs started out the year in the traditional manner , dropping the fiNst two to Northeast sophs and the Crete Reserves.

The sophs, not to be discouraged by a 0-2 team record, came booming back and won their last three games against Southeast, Boys Town, and Pius X

KRCMARIK

Bart leaves this advice to underclassmen "study hard and participate in at least one sport or activity per year."

Leo Krcmarik Lincoln High's sports, Cheerleaders, school spirit, and cute girls.

Football , the sport in which he lettered, is his favorite because of the rough physical effort and the competition between players on the opposing teams.

Leo feels that losing to Pius X, 32-6, was his most embarrassing experience.

Participation in football has taught him to be a good sport and "to keep my head 'up when chips are down."

Being one of the captains of the football team this year is Leo' s lllOSt memoratµe sports experience

cycle riding, and messing around' are Leo's favorite pastimes.

''People who mispronounce my name all the time' is at the top of his list of pet peeves.

The team, coached by Bob Eyth and Melvin Simpson, may be a supply of material for both Varsity and Reserve teams .next year.

Singled out for their efforts for the teams by Coach Eyth were Jim Clements, Don Stamm, Gary King, Dennis Kinnan, Jim Shriner, and Larry Trouba.

Suspense Subsides

Five Juniors Natned Reserve Cheerleaders

The stage in the auditorium is empty and silent now; th e floor is no • longer vibrating; no longer do the walls echo with spirited voices. No one would suspect that this quiet spot was the scene of the spirited Cheerleader tryouts held last Tuesday.

NEWLY CHOSEN

Last Tuesday was a day of ecstasy and ultimate happiness for Annette Hudson, Teresa Lueders, Margie Smith, Marilyn Wallace, and Judy Wittstruck, newly-chosen Apprentice Cheerleaders. Sadly, for the other girls, it was a time to take cut the handkerchiefs.

Girls trying out experienced mixed emotions- -excitement, frustration, anxiety, tension, or complete emptiness as they ascended the wel I -worn stairs to the cold, unsympathetic stage.

Knees shaking and voice quavering, each girl in turn gave her "sparky'' pep talk and did her cheer. HER cheer-the cheer she had been working on for three weeks. Cheer finished three quick jumps it's over.

WORTH IT?

All that work, all those hours spent practicing, all those aching muscles just for a few moments of time.

But it was well worth the effort if you happened to be one of the chosen ones.

But if you dido' t make it, don't despair! There are always tryouts in the spring.

Crocker Test Seeks future Homemaker

Do you know your vitamins?

Perhapsone of the interested L i ncoln High senior girls planning to participate in the annual Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow test can clue you in on some tips, not only for better homemaking, but about better living.

Although the homemaking competition is designed tu test a girl' s common sense and understanding in major areas of home and family Ii ving rather than in homemaking knowledge, an aptitude in this field should be of value for the December 6 exam.

A $5000 college scholarship will be granted to the AllAmerican "Homemaker of Tomorrow. n Each state winner will be awarded a $1500 college scholarship in addition to a tour of Washington, D.C., with her home economics teacher.

Over the years Lincoln High has had three state winners, the most recent being Carol Hadfield, the 1966 choice.

Are You Ready?

As we, the seniors of Lincoln High School, are wel 1 into the final year of our secondary education, preparation for future opportunities becomes increasingly important to us. Only too soon we will all embark upon our adult life courses. Are we ready?

To be fully prepared for these eventualities we must plan ahead and co-ordinate our interests and ta 1en ts immediately!

It is indeed unfortunate that many young persons of today will not be prepared for their 1 ife work because they have not looked into job possibilities, or have overlooked many of them because of lack of information or insight.

Beginning with the next issue of The Advocate, a column devoted to interviews with key persons involved in varied career areas will be added as a special service in an effort to acquaint students of Lincoln High with different and varied career choices available in the community.

Since many students are interested in furthering their educations as the next step in preparing for the future, the series will begin with an interview with Mr. Frank Halgren, director of placement at the University of Nebraska.

Later columns will carry information on opportunities to be found in the fieldsofmilitary service, beauty shop operation, business and clerical work, journalism, nursing, teaching, and trades.

It is hoped that the series will prove to be of interest and value.

A Job Well Done!

Lincoln High is very proud to congratulate Suzie Schwartzkopf for being elected vice-president of the Nebraska Association of State Student Councils.

Suzie has worked very hard to achieve this office, but also, much support was given to her by her fellow Student Council members.

Upon arriving at the Convention each Lincoln High Student Council carried in a large sign, saying Schwartzkopf." Candy bars with 1abe ls reading, "Schwartzkopf! Sounds crazy, but works great!" were distributed to each person present. Schwartzkopf stickers were found all over the school and "on" everyone. Lincoln members caroled down the halls, ·Singing,, "1-lappiness is vot i nQ for Schwartzkopf!"

Being elected vice-president is an honor for Suzie and for Lincoln High School. We know Suzie will do a terrific job during the coming year. Once again, "Congratulations, Suzie! We are very proud of you!"

Paul Baker Already Involved In Chosen Career-Theater

If you were asked what you thought drama really was, what would be your answer?

To many, this would be extremely difficult to put into words. This is probably due to the fact that most of us haven't as yet had any appreciable contact with dramatic art.

To Paul Baker, a junior at Lincoln High, the answer to this question presents no problem. He says, "True drama is an electric, exciting force interacting between a lllllUber of parties."

Paul has been interested in acting and drama since his grade school days and junior high years when some of his friends "got me started thinking about drama."

Since then, Paul has written many short stories, poems, and character sketches. He has also written a one-act play entitled Si lent, Silent, Still Night."

Asked what he thought really constitutes a good Paul says, "Talent is of course necessary, but experience and education are also essential.''

VARIED EXPERIENCES

Paul has already accomplished one aspect of these "requirements' for his experiences in the field of acting are numerous. He participated in the Children's Theater at the Community Playhouse for two years and has also had roles in Playhouse productions of The Miser and A Funny Thing Happened On t he Way t o th e F o r um

Paul has also had a major supporting role in Mid s ummer Night's Dr eam and has been performing in the Mellerdrammers at the Gaslight for the past two years. He also had a part in Living Word s and Vo ice s presente at the University Arena Theater.

In addition to all of this , Paul performed in varipus skits for the 1966 Cushman Golf Cart Distributor Convention and participated in Lincoln High' s All-School Play , G e n t l e m e n P r e f e r Blondes.

He says, "I prefer Lincoln High to other high schools because of the amount of artistic freedom al lowed me here."

Paul feels that Lincoln High has helped him tremendously by providing "one outlet of expression' for him.

SEVERAL COURSES

In addition to taking a speech class at Lincoln High, Paul has also taken several courses at the Community Playhouse and one course at University High to further his education in the field of drama.

As to his plans for the future, Paul feels they are "pretty shaky. I would love to go into acting professionally but I'm not sure whether or not I make the grade. Right now I'm feeling my way along in the writing and acting aspects of drama."

Paul plans to attend the University of Nebraska where he is considering going into the technical aspect of the theater.

It's often a common feeling that actors and actresses are quite different Paul feels this idea is popularly supported by non-theatrical persons because they don' t understand the life an actor must I ead. "To be a good actor, one has to give up the idea of the clique in preference for the search lor truth. "

Paul doesn' t consider himself as having accomplished this complete individuality as yet but he feels he is "on the right road."

Violist Marilyn Ghormley considers "any arrangement of tones that expresses emotiod' to be music.

Her music activities include participation in school orchestra, Lincoln Youth Symphony, Westminster Presbyterian Church Choir, Lincoln High String Quartet, 1965 State Music Clinic, and Rocky Ridge Music Camp. Marilyn enjoys classical music; her favorite composer is Brahms. She feels that music has ''made life more enjoyable."

She plans to go to college and eventuallr end up in some phase of the medical profession. She also will strive to keep up her interests.

Doug Beezley, tenor in the Boys Octet, considers music to be anything that ''has a soul-felt expression and creates communication between the performer and the audience."

His music activities include participation in Lincoln Boys Choir, church choir, Senior Choir, Boys Octet, State Music Clinic, and in various folksinging groups.

Lincoln High has contributed much to Doug's musical experience because "it has given me my first knowledge of what it really means to do a great job, not just a mediocre one; what it means to polish•and refine every detail, to go beyond the required and the essential."

Doug's plans for the future include enrollment in the University of Nebraska either in a liberal arts or music program.

"Music has given me a release--it' s made me appreciative of people's thoughts and emotions," comments Jenny Fowler, alto in the Girls Octet, about the contribution music has made to her life.

She enjoys "music that moves me." Music has to be beautiful in the wa;y it's handled-that is in words and music--for Jenny to like it.

Music appeals to her because it tells her something. "I can use it to express myself; it's something which has meaning to individuals, therefore it is ve'ry personal and intimate."

Lincoln High has contributed to Jenny's musical experience because "it's given me a chance to see exactly what I have and where I need improvement. I've also gotten an idea of how big the scope of music is."

Jenny hopes eventually to become a professional singer.

Paul Newhouse, flutist for the Lincoln High School orchestra, feels music appeals to him because "it allows me to express myself creatively. All possible moods or feelings can be expressed through music."

Lincoln High has contributed a great deal to Paul's musical experience because it has such a wide variety of musical activities. "Participation in these activities has greatly broadened my outlook and interest in music."

Paul feels that music has made a great contribution to his Ii fe. "I have made many friends through participation in music and also I have become more aware of spme of the finer things of life."

He enjoys all types of music but prefers classical; his favorite composer is Bach.

His plans for the future include a broad liberal arts education with emphasis on music. "After that--who knows?"

Vets Day Observed

A special ceremony was held at Lincoln High School in observance of Veterans· Day. In commemoration of the close of World war I, a twominute period of silence was observed throughout the school followed by the playing of Taps.

Mr. William pfei ff. assi s-

The entire student body and faculty honored the men killed in action and the soldiers fighting today by rising for a two-minute period of si1 ence.

THE ADVOCATE

I CLUB l Class Officers Elected;

Lincoln High's FHA, both a state and nationally sponsored organization, is one of many such clubs in Nebraska's second district.

Several members of the group attended the District Convention in Crete during October. The theme of the convention was Nebraska's Centennial, Pioneers Old and New.

ART CLUB

The Lincoln High Art Club is presently planning the construction of the second permanent mural to be mounted on the wall adjacent to the auditorium entrance. The theme will show Nebraska--past, present, and future, and will be completed for Nebraska's Centennial year--1967.

Funds will be obtained from the 1965 graduating class gift. The six-foot-square mural will consist in part of wood and leather.

The placement of this mural will complete the set of two planned for the front foyer. "l'he first, a composition in stained glass depicting aspects of the community, was installed in 1964.

On November 17 Lincoln High hosted an intra-city art club meeting. Reinhold Marxhausen, professor of art at Seward' s Concordia State Teachers College, was the featured guest speaker. He told how he had planned the design and constructed two of the 12 murals in the state capitol building.

"Membership in Writers Club offers a student an opportunity to write original pieces, presented in a free range," says Miss Wanda Crawmer, who together with Miss Clara Johnson, co-sponsors the club.

The two advisers and this year's officers have planned programs and topics for the 1966-67 season. Included on the program agendas are several speakers one of whom will be an author who has done much research and writing about the "Hardy" country, the area of Great Britain so often used as a setting for Thomas Hardy' s novels.

The members also hope to have alumni of Writers Club who have gone on in the field of writing speak to the group about their experiences.

by John Cariotto

Recently Bill Pfeiff called me into his office and pointed out an article written about one of the battles in Vietnam. · Ouoted in the article was a Brigadier General English, the officer in charge of most of the Marine forces in southern South Viet Nam.

Mr. Pfieff asked if I had heard of Lowell English before. I had--in the press box during one of the Lincoln High games when Mr. Pfeiff was talking about his university days when he played second-string center behind this same Lowe 11 Engl i sh.

Later, in checking th rough some o 1d yearbooks, I found that English was graduated from Lincoln High in 1933. He was the starting center for the team that year, as well as servinq on the Student Council. He was also the senior class president, and a baseball letterman.

Of great interest in the 1933 yearbook was the record of the footba 11 team. They b1ew an unscoredupon season in the game with Omaha Tech when they 1et Tech cross the goa 1 1 i ne. Otherwise, the Links were undefeated and ended as conference as well as state champions. Lincoln High furnished seven players (including English) to the Trans-Missouri Valley Conference honor roll which was somewhat 1 ike the present All-State team. The Links had outscored their opponents 150-7 including the 20-7 win over Omaha Tech.

English and Pfeiff both went on to find glory with the Cornhuskers. Mr. Pfeiff especially recalls one particular game at Kansas State. The Huskers rated about the same national prominence they have now; Kansas State was held in similar esteem.

The Huskers headed into the game with an unbeaten record. The re was one comp 1 i cation, however. In this day before field covers had come into wide usage, six inches of snow covered the ground! Since snow is the great equalizer of teams, the game this chilly day in 1937 very close. Nebraska had its Number 5 national ranking on the line. In came Lowell English in the waning minutes to play to kick the field goal than won the game for the Cornhuskers.

It is interesting to note that while English started the first and third quarter at center, Mr. Pfeiff started the second and fourth.

Links harriers, Brad Fortney and Mike Grass, top the list of the Sunday Journal and St a r all-city cross-count ry choices.

Fortney and Grass led the league of Lincoln runners in both the city public schools district and state meets.

Completing the four-man all-city squad are Gary Fester of Lincoln Southeast, and Ed Woerner of Lincoln Northeast.

Last year Grass, as a junior, took all-city honors. This year he placed third in district and 26th in the state meet.

Fortney was the district mile champ last spring. This year he switched from football to cross-country with good results. He placed 4th in the district and 23rd in state to aid the Links to a 7th place in state.

FOOTBALL

Charles Moore and Terry Moore represented Lincoln High by filling two spots on The Sunday Journal and Star all-city football lineup.

Ole of two juniors on the all-city squad, Charles Moore, is a strong force in the Lincoln High backfield as well as a defensive leader.

Terry Moore, although at 160 pounds not the largest man on the team is one of the quickest. Moore ' s defensive speed set up a Lincoln High win over Sioux City Central by enabling him to block a pair of point-after attempts

Lincoln High players given honorable mention were; Gary Garrett, Bart Glather, Leo Krcmarik, Steve McKel vey, Don Mohlman, Craig Rosenberger, and Melvin Tarpley.

Just prior to publication the Journal's All-state Football Team was announced. The list of the honor roll members include Charles Moore, Terry Moore, and Melvin Tarpley.

The Scribe, a literary magazine organized to give high school students an opportunity to see their writings in print and to encourage them to do creative writing, was first issued in 1931. Since that time, 33 volumes have been published.

The first Scribe differed greatly in appearance from today' s booklet because very little art was used to illustrate stories and poems. In addition, all materials used were the works of members of the Writers Club. Presently, any student in Lincoln llia:h School may submit material for possible publication.

Categories which original material may be entered include:

Poetry--35-line minimum

Short Stories--1, 500-word maximum

Handicapped Essay

Hazardous Habits

Now that winter's hazardous road conditions have returned, do we as young drivers realize that our driving habits must also change with the seasons?

The dangers of carelessness and speed are greatly magnified when summer roads begin to glisten with treacherous ice. It takes only one accident to impress on any driver his helplessness when he is at the mercy of road conditions. Alertness and respect for the other fe 11 ow are essential for the avoidance of unnecessary ace i den ts. Courtesy and thoughtf u1ness are mandatory.

Don ' t 1et a wi nt e r d r i v i ng s i tu at 1 ori catch you wearing your summer driving habits.

College, Anyone?

If you are a student who is barely pass in g i n h i g h sch oo 1 , or i f you actually dread going to school each day, do you think that college is the right target to aim for?

Not al 1 high school graduates should attend university. Each individual has varied and different interests. That is the vital factor that makes our world the diversified place it is.

Not every high school graduate is qual ifie.d or has the desire to attend college. If barely passing marks were the result of hard work in high school, a student may not be qualified for university. Usually students who had a hard time in high school will have an even harder time in college. There are many more pressures, res pons i bi 1 it i es, and more d i ff i cu ? t r !c

Many forms of higher education, besides college, are available to the high school graduate. It is up to the individual to take advantage of these choices.

To keep the world going we will need all kinds of persons to do the many required everyday jobs. A1though the trend today is toward professiona 1 occupations, there will always be a need for unskilled and skilled labor.

Many s t uden t s a re s k i 11f u 1 w i t h their hands, and/or are talented in various areas. Such individuals are vital to the well-being and. progress of his community. No organization could long exist if its various demands are not fulfilled by the various talents of the various persons who make upthe population.

Debbie Goldstein, Varsity Cheerleader, likes "my chemistry teacher and the great student body" best about Lincoln High.

As a senior she would like to try (collectively) to raise more spirit for the different activities and (personally) to make better grades.

Debbie would like to live in the Roman era if it were possible for her to go back in time. "All the gods and myths the Romans be1 i eved in are really exciting and the clothes they wore are neat!!!"

If she had the power to change Lincoln High she would reopen the lounge at noon and also add more pep rallies to boost spirit.

Her one wish is "that there will be peace on this earth and that people would stop trying to hurt one another."

Debbi e 1 s plans for the future include enrollment in Joseph's College of Beauty.

Increased Public Postal Needs

Although most persons mail letters frequently never are they more demanding of the services of the U.S. mail than at Christmas time. The individual mailer expects first-class service and usually gets it, as most of the mail is delivered in time for the holiday.

However, such service was not always available and for many years the delivery of mail and packages was an uncertain process with both the writer and the receiver thankful just to have the material delivered whatever the time involved.

The postal service has made advanced strides since runners first carried memorized messages for their rulers in 3000 B.C. Today, the average American senos 358 mail items each year for a national total of 68 billion pieces of mail.

As more people began to read and write, the demands for postal service increased. In 1683, Charles II of Great Britain started the London Penny Post.

In 1782, the U.S. government guaranteed that private letters couldn't be opened or delayed by postal authorities.

GIT-Y-UP!

The 1860-61 pony express was the first postal and express system across western United States. Relays of ponies carried mail almost 200 miles daily from St. Joseph, Mi s sour i , to Sacramento , California, Mo, not everyone shou 1d attend un 1 vers i ty. There are numerous other opportunities open to each high school graduate. Find the area in which you will be most happy and in which you will do the best job and make your life's work.

yearly.

Most U.S. post offices still sort mail in basically the same way as when the postal service began. Each piece of first-class mail is usually handled ten times. The five-digit ZIP (Zone Improvement Plan) was devised to decrease the number of handlings. The three lefthand digits is the city; the two right-hand digits is the zone within that city. Thus, ZIP mail may be sorted directly into a specific city slot, instead of a more general area where it would have to be sorted further.

Additional improvemepts are being devised, such as unmanned self-service post fices, open around the clock, with machines to make change and sell stamps and envelopes. Engineers are developing an electric eye to read typed addresses and ZIP code for faster and more efficient machine handling. The big drawback is that this machine can't yet read handwriting We may, in the near future, have luminescent stamps for improved machine detection.

Placement Office Purpose: To Serve Nebraska Grads

"Everyone should consider going to college, but it depends much on a person' s interests and qual i ficat1ons. Theseare the deciding factors," stated Frank Halgren, director of Placement at the University of Nebraska.

Mr. Halgren, a graduate of Lincoln High and a former member of The Advocate staff, has been at the university of Nebraska for 20 years. He was first with the English Department and later with the Department of Student Affairs.

There are two placements offices at the University. One is the Teachers Placement Division, which deals with securing teaching positions for students in Teachers College.

1000 STUDENTS EMPLOYED

Mr. Halgren is head of the other placement office which assists students in the other colleges make post-graduate plans.

An average of 900 representatives of 65 different companies visit the university throughout the year, seeking future employees. Representatives of schools, businesses, industries, and the government are all part of this program.

October 1 to April 1 is recruiting season at the placement office. Most comp an i es li k e to f i 11 th e i r quotas by spring. Approximately 1000 University of Nebraska students secure jobs through the placement office each year.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT COLLEGE

"Every high school student should set standards of academic excellence in his work," said Mr. Ilalgren. "This is the best way to prepare for college or any other future occupation."

Choosing the right college is most important in achi eving success, he believes There are many factors consider, including the general quality o t tne faculty, the resources of the college, and the kind of college community in which students would be most happy.

"college, as a total experience, is educational,"

1925-LHS won the state football crown with a total of 377 Ix:>ints compared to the opponents' 19 }Xlints.

1926-A change was made in the girls' gym clothes. For class work they wore white pleated bloomers, white cotton hose and white gym shoes. '

1927-Everything except meat in the cafeteria sold for five cents.

1932-Clarence Evan' s woodworking shop was repairing high heels, broken off by the stairs.

1935-Lincoln High had an unusual number of mice; in fact one student became so desperate she set a trap in her locker and actually trapped one.

Council Heads SANTA BRINGS 'PERFECT' GIFTS

Holiday Project

The Lincoln High Student Council has taken on a new Christmas project--sending greeting cards to all Lincoln High graduate seyicemen in Vietnam.

Anyone who knows of a Lincoln High graduate in Vietnam is asked to submit the name address to a Council member or to the office.

The entire school is urged to participatein this holiday project by donating any amount of money to pay for the cards and postage.

!\Ir. Halgren

stated Mr. Halgren. "It is an experience in learning to live and work with students of di verse interests and attitudes."

A high school student who is unsure of his course of study need not be concerned. 11 There are many rewarding opportunities in any field," says Mr. Halgren. "Employers hi te people 1 not degrees. "

ENJOYS WORK WITH SllJDENTS

Mr. Halgren says he truly enjoys his work dealing with college students. "These students are motivated and very concerned about how they are going to use their education."

Mr. Halgren believes that today's college students 11 are aggressive, and sensitive. They are genuinely concerned about the world in which they live. Today's students are extremely responsive to attitudes that would improve the human lot."

Debaters Travel Miles; Success-Constant Goal

The rickety old bus clanks and rattles loudly as it heads back for Lincoln carrying home all the weary Lincoln High Debaters. the quote boxes make a strange yet soothing sound as they slide back and fourth across the luggage rack the debaters themselves are exhausted and trying in vain to catch up on some of the precious sleep they lost getting up so early that morning.

EMOTION ONE OF SADNESS

The atmosphere present in the bus is one of ultimate exhaustion mixed with a little bit of sadness because Lincoln High did not fare as well in the tournaments as the team might have wished.

Debaters, though sorry that they lost and received no recognition for their hard work, are not easily discouraged; Mrs. Suzanne Merwick, debate coach, though saddened because no trophy will be added to the trophy

case, does not feel that her debaters let her down.

The individual speaker's points, a system for judging debaters ranging from a five (which is high) to one (which is low) were pretty good and considering the opposition, LHS debaters did a fairly decent job. Anyway these two tournaments--Beatrice and Norfolk--were only the first ones in which the team had participated and there are several more coming up in the future.

TRY AGAIN

As the bus clanks to a halt in the Lincoln High parking lot and debaters slowly trudge off carrying their prized possessions (their recipe boxes filled with evidence) under their arms they know in their hearts that the next tournament will be won by Lincoln High--providing the debaters get to work and find more evidence and providing Mrs. Merwick doesn' t become ill from overwork.

Telephone Calls Halt Advocate Work

Any Morning--The Advocate staff is industriously working on the newspaper. The composing room is more or less silent except for the continual dull roar indicating machines at work.

R-r-r-r-r-ring. The sharp piercing sound of the tel ephone shatters the silence and abruptly halts all work. Everyone in the room immediately freezes and for a few seconds complete silence is maintained.

"Hello, oh, ok," is all that is uttered and as the receiver is gently placed back on the hook, a tremendous sigh of relief is exp e 11 e d and wo rk again resum es. Quickly the person who answered the call rushes out to report to Ruth Gartner, Advocate advisor.

Who is this mysterious caller, this unknown phantom, this intruding voice who is able to disrupt all work? Obviously, because of the vast influence this voice exerts over the staff, it is a person of great importance. Possibly the phone is an extension to the principal' s office? Perhaps a direct line to the printer? Maybe a hot line to the Journal?

FUTURE 1WRSES

Members of Future Nurses Club are planning a Christmas party for the teenagers at the State Hospital, December 13.

Since the group felt that last year's Christmas party was a success they were going to participate again this year. The club will entertain the teenagers by putting on ski ts, singing songs, and getting acquainted.

The Future Nurses Club was started to get together both boys and girls interested in the medical profession.

In the early years of the club, the membership was composed mostly of girls. However, at present the club has one boy member; any boy who is interested in a medical field is encouraged to join.

Other plans for the club include hearing speakers from the various medical fields.

But knew where to look, he hopped into his souped-up dragster with rail slicks , and a fouron- the- floor with an eightinch knob, and sped down to good o le LHS, in the heart of the city, where he found Aldie and the boys.

Santa cried, 11 Look, man I need the guys to help me beat those Roc!:ets. I know they' v e got speed, and it' 11 be a breeze for them to stuff those presents in the chimney."

Pfeiff Boys Serve in Vietnam Links

Two Lincoln High alumni, sons of Mr. William Pfeiff, assistant principal at Lincoln High, and Mrs. Pfeiff, are stationed in Vietnam.

First Lt. William P. Pfeiff is with an Air Delivery Quartermaster Company at Cam Rahn Bay, Vietnam. He is a platoon officer.

Recently young Bill's unit was appointed an Honor Guard Unit. Bill saw and heard President Lyndon B. Johnson, Secretary of State Dean Rusk, General Robert Westmoreland, Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, and Premier Ky. In a letter to his father Bill wrote, "It was quite an experience!"

Second Lt. L. H. "Bi ff" Pfeiff is on reserve duty as an order officer with a unit near Pleiku in the central highlands of Vietnam. He is on leave from Proctor and Gamble Company , where he is employed as a mechanical engineer. Biff indicates that he is extremely busy and working long hours.

Both Bill and Biff feel they are with fine units. They are on duty six and a half days a week.

Greetings, Links!

Well. Christmas is just around the corner. Santa's getting his bag full of goodies all in order at the North Pole and Rudolph is kicking up his heels and shining his red nose. Yes, everyone' s getting ready for that allimportant day Christmas.

While things are really bustling at the North Pole, things are moving pretty fast at Lincoln's fashion center, THE PLACE. Santa's helpers have put out all the new Christmas pastel skirt-and-sweater sets in peach, pink, blue, green, turquoise, and lavender. They have socks and slacks to match.

After looking over his stock, Santa also came up with the perfect nightwear to snuggle up in. Of course they're pastel nightgowns and pajamas with that soft, sleepy look.

Something new has been added to The Place! The Christmas Giftique! There are gifts here for any member of the family. For the guys there are pen and pencil sets, colognes, shoeshine sets, ties, belts, gloves and many others. For the girls there are perfumes, powders, sachets, curler bags, jewelry, etc. Don' t forget! If you have a question mark beside someone on your Christmas list, come to The Place that has everything. See you at Miller's,

Mr. Pfeiff sends both of them Lincoln High and Lincoln community news every week. Both are very interested in all Lincoln High activities. Mail takes three to four days to reach them.

Rah! Rah! Rah! Megaphones

by Richard Tomandl

After one of the athletic practice sessions (held in preparation for the upcoming winter sports season) I happened to be walking down the corridor in the Johnson Gym area when I heard the sounds of men apparently in agony.

This did not disturb me too much, however, as sounds such as these are not uncommon at this time of year. Groans, gasps, and signs of hang low over the locker rooms as sports-minded boys try for Varsity spots on gymnastic, swimming, wrestling and basketball teams.

Although plagued by backache, muscle strain, and just plain being "done in, 11 the boys doggedly return each night for more running, grappling, swimming, and practicing routines in the hope that there will come a time when perseverance and fortitude pay off in Varsity positions and victories for the Links.

The pride of victory is shared by the entire student body, but how many of us realize and appreciate the long, hard hours of work behind each attempt to bring

SONS OF THE RED AND BLACK

Cagers Drop One to Central, 55-54

Some days you win them all, but some days you can't win any of them. Links' coach Alden Johnson must have been thinking along the latter lines after Friday's loss to Sioux City Central, 55-54.

But, there are bright spots even in losses. The Links had been billed as an improved ball club this year, and, if nothing else, they bore out this prediction. Scoring is improved (25

GOEGLEIN SIMPSON BRAUN

Ken Braun, in the Arts and Sciences Curriculum, was one of the mainstays on the wrestling team last year, and hopes are high again this year for the 127-pounder.

Ken says that wrestling is his favorite sport "because if you lose, you can blame no one but yourself." Part icipation in sports has taught him that "character is built many ways."

"The tremendous, broad athletic program," is what Ken likes best about Lincoln High.

For those who don't know Ken, he may be recognized by the little sports car he drives. Running out of gas rates as his pet peeve, and his favorite pastimes are working on it (the car) and "going out with 'what's her name."

Tom Goeglein, in the Business Curriculum, has lettered in both wrestling and football.

He says he prefers wrestling, because "the individual himself determines whether he wins or loses."

Tom enjoys hunting and fishing and likes "lunch time' best about Lincoln High.

"Having to get my hair cut for wrestling' rates as his pet peeve.

A member of L Club, Tom says that his most memorable experience provided the open door to L Club "lettering as a junior."

His most embarrassing moment came last year when he was coming back off the mat after shaking hands with his opponent after the introductions. There was a wrinkle in the mat cover, Tom's foot caught it and he fell flat on his face.

John Simpson, Varsity wrestler and football player, was full of philosophy the day he filled out his Sons' form. Before getting to that, however, we shall take a look at John.

Last year, he wrestled in most of the upper weights di vision, from 165 to heavyweight, and earned a letter in the process. He was good enough to get second place in the Heavyweight Division in the Trans-Nebraska Meet held last year.

"Horsing around and watching televisiorl' rate as his favorite pastimes.

Now to the philosophy.

"The good coaches who give you the best possible chance of doing your best," is what John likes best about Lincoln High and "people who give up without trying' is his pet peeve.

Wrestling is his favorite sport, because "it is the individual, not the team, that makes the sport, You work for the team, but you' re on your own at the same time."

Participation in sports "has taught me that you have to put out some extra effort to get anywhere."

As a closing remark, John hands out this advice: "Sophomores and juniors, don't feel sorry for yourselves because you' re not on the Varsity Squad. Get in there and try your hardest, and maybe next year you will be."

Future plans include going into the service, and then to college.

Central took an early lead, 5-2, but the Links finally went ahead midway through the first period and did not re1 inquish the lead in the first half. The score at halftime was 30-29, in favor of Lincoln High. Joe Casmer put on quite a show, scoring six field goals out of six

In Winter Sports: Coaches Poll Tells Views

As the winter sports season begins, each coach, of course has his own personal opinion on how the season will go for his charges.

A series of quick interviews was held with the coaches of the four major Varsity sports to elicit their opinions. Here are the results.

Phil Sprague, Gene Cotter, and Mel Simpson all seem rather doubtful about their teams' chances for a state finish, mostly because of inexperience and inconsistent performances.

Mel Simpson, wrestling coach, says, "I' 11 have to wait until we've been in a couple of meets before I can tell how good this team is."

Gene Cotter' s crew is encountering difficulties in the experience department, with only about six lettermen returning. The good new turnout ("The best soph turnout

I' ve ever had," says Cotter) may provide the spark the team needs for a good season.

Phil Sprague, who bills himself a "pessimistic optimist' has both good and bad words for use in describing his gymnastics team. Again, inexperience is the negative factor.

"Hesitant optimism," is the description Sprague has of his hopes for the year.

Coach Aldie Johnson says, "As the team cuts their eyeteeth on the first opponents, there should be reason for optimism for the rest of the year."

Transfer John Cousins is providing a great deal of hope for the last part of the year.

This will be the tallest Link team in some time , with good outside shooters in Maly, Casmer , Dandridge, and Loos.

attempts during one segment of the game. Lincoln High led by as many as nine points in the first half.

The game turned into a seesaw battle after halftime, with neither team able to break open a lead. The third quarter ended with the score 40-38 in Central' s favor.

As fourth period started, Central opened up a 4-point lead only to be overtaken by the Links. The game got pretty rugged with about five minutes left. Dwayne Dillard, Central's 6-5 rebounder, fouled out as he got a Lincoln High ball handler on Central's side of the time line.

Domgard made both free shots of the 1-1 coming from Dillard's foul, and Casmer drilled the technical free throw, and Lincoln High went front_,50-49.

To make a long story short, Central made it 53-50 bv virtue of two goals. The Links came back, and made it 55-53 with 12 seconds left Central took it down court. and little Alvin Mitchell, who hadn't been able to locate the basket all night, found it with a vengeance as he swished it with six seconds left.

That's the way it ended 55-54.

TREE CREATES HOLIDAY MOOD

"O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, How lovely are thy branches."

A special highlight of the Christmas season at Lincoln High School is always the tree in the lounge.

This year' s tree is a beautiful long-needled pine measuring about 16 feet by five axe handles wide.

Each year, a tree decorated by the members of Student Council, stands throughout the season to pro vi de an inspirational atmosphere.

Christmas Spirit Year-Round!

Though our acts at Christmas are admirable, why must consideration for others be 1 imited to this particular time? Why do we not try to spread this feeling of Christmas throughout the entire year?

Has the Yuletime spirit become only a means by ch general good wi 11 is rel eased once year and consciences are relieved?

The spirited friendliness of this feeling of Christmas effects everyone, regardless of his be1 iefs or the importance of the holiday to the individual.

As we walk down the street meeting smile with smi 1e, the spirit becomes a part of us and we pass it on. Cut, where does this spirit go after the holiday season; where is this spirit of goodwill the remainder of the year?

Acts of brotherhood abound at Christmas: everyone goes to visit old peoples' homes; orphans are suddenly remembered; under-privileged families are recipients of holiday foods.

But what about .af1.e.r: Christmas, when the sparkle and glow of the season has died 1 ike the monthold tree put out in the back yard to decay? What about those whom we smothered with our holiday exuberance? no we care if the old people are lon1 ier, the orphans sadder, the underprivileged hungrier, or ev€ryone else back to hypocritical normalcy?

Origin of Customs

Mistletoe, Tree, Santa, Carols Enrich Christmas

Twinkling decorations, freshly fallen snow, and chiming evening bells are a few of the beauties of the joyous holiday Beloved American Christmas customs enhance that special, cheerful feeling that fills the air.

Some customs grew from preChristian celebrations. Many were connected with the ancient Roman winter festival. Others are a colorful combination from symbols Of the ancient Egyptians, Hebrews, Scandinavians, English, and Germans.

Sally enjoys most seeing the modern tragedies by Arthur Mi 11 er and Tennessee Wil Iiams but anything Lincoln High puts on "has got to be the best in my book! ! !"

Her favorite pastime is "learning my lines for the Mummers play' and her wish i s to share Gary' s wish! ! ? !

Larry Estes, the "Western Union Mari' in Sorry, Wrong Number, became aware of the mighty pull of drama while working on the set for the boat scene in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. "I stayed for rehearsals and became interested in the acting and directing ends."

Drama appeals to him because "it has given me the opportunity to work with my friends to produce something worthwhile. I have also gotten to understand others as well as myself, much better through this experience."

Larry's plans for the immediate future include "building a t remend,01us set for the Mummers play' and also learning his lines for his part.

Drama appeals to Marsha Finkel, "Nurse Barke I'' in the Mummers play and secretary of the club "because it is a wcy I can forget my problems oy putting on a kind of mask and becoming someone else for awhile."

"I like comedy, but I really pref er serious drama because it usually gives the actor something to think about," says Marsha.

Children and children-atheart look forward in anticipation for the trimming of the family Christmas tree. Numerous legends regarding the orig in of the Christmas tree persist. From the land of the ancient Vikings comes the tale that the Lord designated a fir as the first tree and sent Faith, Hope, and Love to light it to symbolize Christ, Light of the World. Greens were brought indoors for ancient winter festivals. The Romans presented each other with green branches for good luck in the new year. Northern Europe first used evergreens for yule decorations.

It seems fairly certain that Germany was the home of the first Christmas tree in the 15th century;1 during the 19th century the custom spread to northern Europe.

COiorful ly wrapped packages under the tree are common sights in the American home. The custom of giving presents at Christmas time may have originated with the ancient Romans who distributed gifts during their mid-winter festival; however. the Wise Men at the manger in Bethlehem probably inspired the custom or Christmas

The orginial Saint Nicholas was born in Syria before 300 A. D. As a bishop of the church he bestowed gifts to the needy wherever he went, became the patron saint of many groups, and finally developed into the benefactor of children.

The legends of his reindeer" and sleigh and his flight down chimneys, as well as his North Pole castle, are borrowed from the Dutch, the Russians, and the Scandinavians.

-TDutch children place shoes to receive gifts from Saint Nicholas who is believed to ride a white horse over the house tops, dropping gifts down the chimney. Perhaps the custom of hanging stockings began when a gift happened to fall into a stocking.

The Germans at one time baked cakes in the form of slippers which were filled with gifts for the children. In later times the chimney was cleaned at the beginning of the New Year ito bring good luck. A combination of these two customs may have resulted in the 1 egend that Santa comes down the chimney bringing gifts.

Cheerful music adds another note of pleasure to the festive season. True Christmas carols originated in Italy in 1223.

Outdoor carol singing began in the Miudle Ages when groups of persons went from house to house to sing by torchlight. The first record of American Christmas caroling was in 1645.

The words to "O Come Al 1 Ye Faithful" were written in 1841 by Canon Oakeley. A French composer, Adolphe Adam, wrote the hymn "O Holy Night."

"Joy to the World' was written by an English poet, Isaac Watts, in 1748 and was set to music in 1872 in tunes found in Handel's Messiah by an American, Lowell Mason.

"Silent Night" is an Austrian carol written in 1818 by a priest-poet, Joseph Mohr. Frantz Gruber composed the tune to this internationally loved Christmas anthem.

"O Little Town of Bethlehem" was written by Phillips Brooks in 1868. "Hark the Herald

A bright addition to Christmas decorations is the poinsettia. A Mexican legend tells that a small orphan girl, Maria, was in tears because her only gift to lay on the altar on Christmas Eve was a dry weed. But because of her faith it turned into a flaming crimson flower and has been known ever since as "the flower of Christmas Eve."

Many Christmas party-goers would agree that the center of fun is under themistletoe. The ancient Celtic Druids in Britain hung sacred mistletoe in the doorways of homes because it was supposed to possess healing power and give protection to the home. When enemies met beneath it, they embraced and disregarded their differences.

In Scandinavian legend the Goddess of Love and Beauty made mistletoe the symbol of joy and peace and bestowed kisses upon all who passed under it.

To some, holly berries symbolized the blood of the Savior, for His crown of thorns was thought to have been woven from it. Legend says the berries were originally white but turned to scarlet after Christ's Crucifixion.

and his team (from left) Rudolph (sally Davidson), Blixen (Larry Estes), and Prancer (Marsha Finkel) heartily respond.

A great controversy exists over the first designer of the Christmas card. Some say it was designed by William M. Egley, a 16-year-old English artist. Others believe the credit should go to Sir Henry Cole for a hand-colored lithograph card designed for him by J.C. Horsely in 1843.

CARD CAUSES COMMOTION

The Cole Christmas card might have been completely forgotten if it hadn't been for the picture on the card showing a happy family with each member holding a glass of wine and making a cheerful toast.

Today most people wouldn't have any qualms over this picture but to a temperance group in the 1800' s this represented an encouragement for people to drink. Such a commotion resulted over this card that it became the topic of conversation throughout England.

In 1874, Louis Prang, a Boston lithographer, imported the idea of Christmas cards.

The idea caught on quickly in America and today, less than 100 years later, over 2 billion Christmas cards are sent annually at the rate of 100 million a day.

Of the 50,000 different Christmas card designs from which to choose, 70 per cent are of a general nature and 30 per cent have a religious theme.

According to the Greeting Card Association, the Santa Claus design is the number one seller in the Christmas

Museums are also strong contenders in the noncommercial class with reproductions on Christmas cards of famous art pieces. The Metropolitan Museum's collection of 59 religious art pieces appear on Christmas cards including reproductions of manuscripts.

The price span in the se1 ection ofChristmas cards is gigantic ranging from 5-cent Christmas greetings to reproductions on cards of a painting by Botticelli which cost $125 for 100 cards.

This Christmas, if your arm holds out, which type of greeting will you send?

The origin of the word doll comes from the Greek word eidolon meaning idol. The first dolls, figures of religious images, were said to have magical powers; they were definitely not a child's toy.Early dolls were used to cure the i 11- fortunes of the day.

GERMANY

DOLL CENTER

Germany was for centuries the center of doll making since the greatest source of which was used in making dolls, grew there. Dolls were made in great quantities in Germany and sent to western Europe.

The earliest American dolls were the simple wood-carved type. They had large heads with coloring on the cheeks. Many of the dolls were painted, and a thin layer of composition was put on over the paint to give them a glossy appearance.

In the 18th century, dolls took on characteristics which might roughly be defined as "childlike." After this, they quickly developed into the toys known today.

The voice came in 1823; it was then possible to exchange ma-ma's and pa-pa's with the little mommy. Later came the closing eyes and the first uncertain steps of the walking doll.

The first speaking dolls were made by Johann Maelzel. The dolls said "mama" when the right spot was touched.

It rose up in the winter night, In a 11 its go 1den sp'l endor bright . Its beauty there for all to see, The star of Christmas Night.

It shone down where the Infant lay, Sound asleep upon the hay. This Child of Joy, and Peace, Was born on Christmas Day. and Love, Now stands atop the tree of 1 ight, In all its golden splendor bright. Its beauty there for all to see, The star of Christmas Night.

Christmas is a time of cheer! It's quite the merriest time of year. Christmas is a time of g1v1ng, A time for joy, a time for 1 iving.

Isn't it sad for you and me, Each day of the year, Christmas can't be?

Dolls, once only of religious significance, now bring joy to children around the world.

The master of the art of automation in the 18th century was Jacques do Vaucanson of France. His dolls included a flute player that played 12 tunes, and a duck that quacked, stretched its neck, and swallowed a frog.

In 1887, Thomas Edison attached a phonograph (with round discs) inside a doll. The doll's conversation could be varied merely by changing the di SC.

Walking dolls made their appearance as early as 1826. The walking doll could actually move forwards, backwards, and sideways. Some could even do the polka!

BLUE EYES- 1 IN 1

Queen Victoria of England was delighted with dolls when she was a little girl. Since the queen had blue eyes, dolls with blue eyes became popular. The rejected browneyed dolls were sent to Spain where they would be appreciated.

Government Service Offers

Many Challenges, Rewards

Although many individuals give generously in this season of goodwill, the federal government, through its Poverty Program, is waging a year-around help program for the poverty-stricken.

This program is a full-time project, not merely one begun and ended at Christmas time.

Mr. Ronald Jensen, di rector of the Technical Assistance Agency in Nebraska (the state branch of the Poverty Program) feels "most people are very misled as to what the program is and what it is intended to do. The program is designed to benefit all age groups affected by poverty, but with emphasis on the .nation's youth.

"Most communities feel that their money can be better invested in youth than in older persons.· They feel that a large investment in job training for this age group would be a waste of resources."'

According to Mr. Jensen " ' The program is called the 'Poverty Program for want of a better name. It actually encompasses a whole network of social ills."

The Poverty Program is presently financed 90 l)er cent by the federal government and 10 per cent by the state. startingJulyl, 1967, the state will assume 20 per cent of the financial burden.

11 In years to come, " says Mr. ·Jensen, "the state will justl y assume more and more of the financial burden."

Some well known local projects under the Poverty Program are Project Headstart, Job Corps, and the Neighborhood Youth Corps. Others include the Lincoln Action Program, which is the coordinating agency between the community and the federal government, the Half-Way House for alcoholics, and Project Hope, also for alcoholics.

Last spring a Medicare Alert program was undertaken to inform older persons of the benefits of Medicare. Many senior citizens themselves were hired under the Poverty Program to carry out this Medicare Alert.

LEGAL AID

According to Mr. Jensen "Lincoln is now applying federal assistance for legal aid for those who need it but cannot afford it.

"Some of the poverty projects, on the national level, are working and some aren' t " II ' states Mr. Jensen. However, I do feel the projects undertaken in the Lincoln area have been a great success."

According to Mr. Jensen, 11 The majority of people in the United States feel the Poverty Program is not working, but this is mainly because they don' t understand its real purpose.

11 The Po verty Program was not established of and by itself to eliminate poverty, but rather was designed to provide communities with concrete examples of what can be done. The program's purpose is to offer new solutions to old problems in such a way that communities can profitably handle these projects on their own, without the help of federal aid.

"rt is hoped that the federal government can pull out of the projects a little at a time until it can completely curtail aid and the city itself can carry on the project. m

Mr. Jensen feels most cities must and do use federal aid for various reasons. 1For one the local governments have much narrower financial base than the federal government and thus can' t afford to support these projects without some federal aid. In fact, most local debts are much larger, in comparison, than the national debt.

"secondly, poverty is not only a local but also a national pro bl em. Along with this, communities are much more likely to spend federal dollars on experimental programs than they are to allocate their own dollars for these experiments."

IS IT REALLY WORKING?

Although he personally feels that the Poverty Program has been a success in Lincoln, Mr. Jensen says, 11 \Ve' ll find out if the program is really working in July when the states are to assume 20 per cent of the financial burden. If they are then willing to pick up the projects and continue them, the Poverty Program is indeed a success."

Mr. Jensen feels there is a "great future in the program for one who understands how to and is adept at formula.ting plans to ap,ply for federal financial aid. This federal - community coordinator will become increasingly important, as cities will need more and more aid to estab1 i sh the various projects under the Poverty Program. 11 Opportunities which lie more in the social service area than in the administrative are those concerned with training and working with non-professional persons, those without special tTaining.

TRAIN NON-PROFESSIONALS

The training for eventual employment of these non-professional s is actually what the Poverty Program is all about," explains Mr. Jensen.

According to Mr. Jensen, "There is a crying need for teachers of the deprived of this country. These persons should not only have a teaching or a social work degree, but should be highly skilled and interested in human relations. They should be well versed in child development, having taken such courses as sociology or child psychology.

11 The rewards are quite sizable in this field," states Mr. Jensen. 11 This does not include onlyi monetary rewards, but also the feeling that one has helped start a relatively new program and has contributed to its success.

11 Al ong with these rewards one also has the advantage of extensive travel throughout the state and country as well as the opportunity to meet a vast number of people.

11 Alsq with the sizable rewards one may receive in the Poverty Program, there are al so many sizable ch all enges to meet and overcome. 11

Mummers History Record of Success

In celebration of its fiftieth year, Mummers has prepared an ambitious program to commemorate the occasion.

As many alumni as can be reached have been invited to attend this year's Mummers plays, The Spiral Staircase and Sorry, Wrong Number, and an anniversary party to be held after the productions.

HISTORY OF MUMMERS

The play and the party, scheduled for January 2fl, will highlight the long and colorful history of the club.

One of the oldest organizations at Lincoln High, Mummers at one time presented several plays a year, each open to all students.

In its early years, the club was open to those in several fields of talent in addition to drama. Members could, for instance, try-out on piano.

UNUSUAL PRODUCTIONS

It is interesting to note that one of the clubs most ambitious projects was the presentation last year of Molier' s Imaginary Invalid The rental of costumes made this play unique in Mummers hi story; the costumes, valued at several thousand dollars were shipped from Chicago.

This year, the presentation of two plays plus an unusual set-construction problem (the spiral staircase) di stingu1-sh the production from others in Mummers' history.

Cary Smith, president of Mummers says , "we hope that our fiftieth year will be the best one yet!"

Be a Good AFS'er

(continued from page 1)

"Our whole family goes to church on Christmas day and then has a big dinner," says Angie. "This dinner usually consists of palauv (which is seasoned rice and mutton), chicken, side dishes, and dessert.

"Christmas in India, as well as Christians all over the world, make a big celebration out of Christmas."

According to Angie "New Year's Day in India is celebrated on January 1. We all attend church and then return home to have a hearty meal On New Year's eve we clean the house and its contents thoroughly. The purpose of this custom is to start the New Year on the right note!"

FONOl!:ST WISH

Asked what whe wanted most for Christmas, Angie replied, "I have a long list of gifts I want for Christmas, but they aren' t as important as the fact that I wish to be a good representative of the AFS program.

"I am benefiting a lot from my stay here and I hope people enjoy me as much as I am enjoying them. I also hope my real family in Bangalore, India, has a very merry Christmas.

"Christmas time to me " Angie concluded, "is a time to pause and think about an unforgettable incident, one which we tend to forget the rest of the year because we are so tied up with the affairs of the day."

Angie's "real" family in Bangalore India, include (back row) Christine, 5%. Henry, 15, and (front row) Sheila, 8, mother, and father.

GIRLS ATHLETICS

Although GAA is no longer a Lincoln High organization, some girls' interest in gymnastics and other intramural sports has not diminished.

Many girls have devoted time before school every morning practicing for the City Gymastics meet.

This competition among entrants from Lincoln High, Lincoln Southeast, and LincolnNortheast will probably be held during the first part of March. Divisions included will be floor exercise, uneven parallel bars, tumbling, and balance beam routines.

The efforts of the girls who this fall practiced for the City Volleyball Meet were well rewarded as Lincoln High came in first in the competion.

"Our girls won every game except the one played against

Head Against the Sky, Man Works with Sower

Would you have the courage -to stand with the sower on the top of the Capitol building to attach the strings o1 lights people look forward to seeing every year at this time? Have you ever wondered what it would feel like when the wind starts to blow and you are 400 feet above the ground?

Mr. Kenneth Horky, a maintenance worker at the State Capitol Building, put the lights up this year, the second time he has done the job. Arrangement of the lights on the strings takes

about three weeks. Mr. Horky takes the assemboed strings to the top of the dome and affixes them there. This year it took about half a day t.o do.

Asked how he felt when doing this job Mr. Horky said, "Just like I do now." He was standing on the ground floor, at the time.

Mr. Horky has been working at the Capitol for a year and a half. Besides putting up the Christmas lights he repairs lights and equipment around the building.

Northeast. That's 12 wins and one loss. Good work, girls!" says Mrs. Opal Stolhr, sponsor of girls athletics.

Poe Thriller Boosts March of Dimes

The twofold purposs of the bi-weekly newspaper is to inform students of school activities as weil as keep a record of Lincoln High.

(From left) Sherrill Kushner, Kathie Brauer, Jim Hunt, Susie Hart, and Sandi Sattler glance through Advocates from previous years.

Patty.Ramsey, Donald Dingman, BertaHall, Julie Roth, Nancy Barnes, and Shelley Schaffer attend a briefing in the Advocate News Room.

Where YOU Come In

March of Dimes is one of the largest voluntary health agencies in the world. Because of the victory over polio, made possible by the discovery of the Salk and Sabin vaccines, teenagers everywhere are protected from lifetime crippling. Today, while continuing its commitment to po 1 i o patients, its major target is research and the ultimate control of birth defects, a crippler which claims more victims each year than polio did in a decade.

Birth defects afflict at least 250,000 infants born in the United States each year--700 a day-destroy at least halfamillion babies before they are born and claim the 1 ives of 60,000 infants, children, and adults. About one of every 10 American families knows the anguish of having a child with a serious birth defect.

Because there is a vast area of ignorance, both pub 1 i c and profess i ona 1, this research is necessary. However ,much can be done today, right now, to correct birth defects when they occur and to prevent them from happen i ng--but not without the public's help.

That's where YOU come in!

Weak Links in Our Chain?

How many times have you heard the statement: anything ONE Lincoln High student does is interpreted by the community as representative of the entire student population--that ALL are judged by the actions of a few?

This broad statement is not necessarily accurate. Too often the public is given to general izations.

The point in question at this time is the image reflected when motorists pass by the school and see some students smoking. Such a sight can only reflect badly on the entire student body.

Is it fair that all LHS students be judged by these few? Is it fair that the reputations of the responsible students be jeopurdized?

While it is impossible to stop these incidents, it should be possible, in our school, to minimize these offenses which reflect badly upontheentire student population.

Have you ever had a hanger jabbing you in the ribs? I'm sure you've never had pictures of Ringo, Paul, John, and George plastered all over you!

Want to take a swim? Come to me. I have all the equipment needed--swimming cap, nose plugs, and ear plugs.

Today you will be 1 eaving these mighty halls of Lincoln High for two days. I have been looking forward to these days since the Christmas holidays.

'Irish Eyes Are Smiling' for Links

While hurrying down the hall between classes a confused yet striking lad with red hair and glasses may confront you and ask for direct ions in a voice with the unmistakable characteristics of an Irish brogue. Don' t be too surprised--this is James Sou tar, the new foreign exchange student from Ireland.

The first thing Jim noticed upon his arrival in America, December 15, 1966, was the central-heating. "It was so warm the night I spent at the AFS center in New York-quite different from the drafts of cold air which blow in through the windows, chimneys, and doors in Ireland."

Ballymena Academy, with its enrollment of about 1,000 students aged 11 to 18, is Jim's own school in Ireland. "It is a grammar school, one which prepares boys and girls for entrance to a university or any other type of higher educational institution.

IRISH SCHOOL

"When a pupil enters school at 11 he must study English, French, Latin, geography, history, mathematics, physical education, chemistry , and scriptures. At the end of three years he may drop some of these subjects," Jim said.

"At age 16 the pupil takes a stiff examination which decides whether or not he continues in grammar school, if he does, he chooses only three subjects in which to specialize.

"Finally at 18, the student takes another exam which determines whether or not he is able to enter a university."

Ballymena Academy has many activities: choir, drama, French and German clubs, debate, Radio Club, and Modei Aircraft Club. Students may also participate in the sports program which includes · (for boys) Rugby and crosscountry relays during the winter, and hockey for girls. In the summer the boys may choose from cricket, tennis, and track while the girls may participate in tennis and track.

IMPRESSION OF LBS

Asked what his first impression of Lincoln Highwas, Jim reacted without hesitation--"Utter confusion! But thanks to the efficient staff and helpful students of LHS I managed to surviver' One student in particular has gone out of her way to help Jim--the other foreign exchange student, Angie Moses, who, according to Jim, "has guided me like a mother hen."

Jim says that American teenagers impressed him immediately "by the complete .spontaneity of their kindness. ijowever, they are not basically different from Irish teenagers in some of the aspects of dating and their over-all social life.

"There is a great interest in pop music but it is outweigbed by the interest in the folk heritage of Ireland. At dances--jigs, reels, and Irish music are extremely popular.

"American social life is much more organized than that of Ireland. Irish teenagers go out only once a week, occasionally twice Basketball games played in huge

JIM auditoriums like Pershing where admission is charged do not exist in Ireiand. School games are on Saturday mornings or on afternoons during the week and no admission is charged."

His own favorite pastimes include singing Irish songs, dancing, traveling, track and Rugby. He also enjoys meeting and talking with people.

Jim says he has gained much from participating in the AFS program. "I have developed a maturity by gaining insight into the American family, social, and political life. More than that, I have made count 1 ess friends, whose friendships, I hope, will stand the test of time and trouble.

"Youth is an amazingly powerful and malleable force and I believe AFS can do much in improving individual and international relations in the world."

At the present time Jim is staying with the Don Shaw family were "my big brother Jim keeps an eye on me!!!"

College Seeks Authorization

Lincoln voters are being asked to go to the polls February 7 to authorize the establishment of an accredited Junior College as a part of the existing Community College.

The establishment of the Community College is not in question: Lincoln Adult Education courses have been offered since 1875 on a short term non-credit base. At issue at this time is voter authorization for establishment of a Junior College providing general, technical and semi-professional areas.

COUNCIL NAMES NEW OFFICERS

The Lincoln High School Student council has chosen second-semester officers.

The president elect isJon Camp, a two-year member of the group who has served on various council committees. LKa thy Sayre, a three-year veteran, will serve as vicepresi dent. She represented Nebraska at the National Associa t ion of Student Councils_, last year.

Mary McKelvey was elected secretary. She is presently serving as Council Joy Night

skit chairman. This is her <second year on counci 1.

Bob Jenkins , a two-year member, will be the Council' s treasurer. Bob is presently representing Lincoln High on the Intra-city Student Counsel.

The Lincoln Community College is an institution that includes the existing Adult Education programs of the Lincoln Public Schools. The proposed Junior College Division will make it possible for persons taking certain courses to transfer credits to other accredited institutions in the country. Associate degree programs could be granted in certain technical programs.

" Lincoln's greatest asset is educational opportunity-yet there is a void in vocational, technical training opportunities," stated Mr. James Lightbody, dean of the Lincoln Community College and director of Secondary Vocational Education.

" The program's main objective will be to provide education and training in semi-professional occupations leading to immediate employment."

Floyd's Boys Takes Crown; Second Season Begins

After battling out the first of two intramural basketball seasons, Floyd' s Boys emerged as the victors with a 65-49 win over the Mooreticians.

Floyd Brown, for whom Floyd's Boys is named, won the game almost single-handedly with 39 points.

If the faculty team could have been counted, it assuredly would have had the firstplace spot. Led by Grant Simmons, Nebraska's All-Big Eight guard last year, the Faculty systematically defeated every team in League 1.

League 2 was dominated by the Celtics, which won all five of its games. The Soul Brothers were second, with a 4-1 record.

Dennis Hegel was high scorer for League 2, with 51 points for the season.

Gymnasts Swing Five Victories, No Losses; Tough Opponents Immobilize Matmen

"Undefeated," at least to this point, can be claimed by one winter-sports team at Lincoln High. That team is the gymnastics squad, now with five wins and no losses.

Coach Phil Sprague says "the squad has the toughest part of the season coming up, but that the boys have really improved since the first of the season."

Crieghton Prep fell under the weight of the Links' gymnasts, Friday, by a score of to 29¥2.

Prior to the Creighton Prep meet, Lincoln Southeast bit the chalk dust when it was defeated, 64 to 48.

When Omaha South met the Lincoln High Gyrmastics team they, too, were topped, 71Yz-

The second intramural season will consist of a double elimination tournament (you have to get beat twice before you' re out) instead of the round-robin tournament.

According to Intramural Director Neal Hafemeister, "If we played the round-robin with the 14 teams signed up instead of the double elimination tournament, we wouldn't finish the tournament until April 1."

The names of the intramural teams, as you may have noticed, are rather strange. Some names are apt, and some aren't.

Cagers Compile 2-5 Record Against Rated Competition

After getting off to a good start this year, the Link cagers seem to have

sh·o·wcid up a bit.

The Links started out with a 61-57 victory over Southeast, only to drop the next game, the following night, to Creighton Prep, 61-51. Northeast then set the stage at Pershing for a 53-44 victory over the Links.

The Links led most of the way in the Southeast game, but lost the comfortable margin in the fourth quarter and had to put out some fine basketball for the win.

Northeast, billed as a considerably weakene<l team from a year ago, showed few signs of weakness after the first two games. The Rockets, executing their plays to perfect ion, calmly ran up big margins on the Links in both games before the Black and Red could score.

In rounding out their 2-5 record, the Links took it on the chin from unbeaten, second- ranked Columbus last Friday night.

The Links could manage only a cold 29 per cent from the field.

Bob Semrad, whose favorite pastimes include being with "girls, " music of all kinds, and going to school, plans to attend the University of Nebraska to study law.

Gymnastics, the sport in which Bob lettered, is his favorite "because of the individuality; you have only one person to blame for a bad performance- -yourself."

In the embarrassment deP artmen t Bob remembers falling into a rather "unusual" position at one of the meets last year.

He likes "the Lincoln High traditions, L Club teachers, and school in general." Bob' s extracurricular activities have ranged from football to gymnastics, and from Student Council to Red Cross work. He has been a Home Rdom Representative.

Participating in sports has taught him that "you have to get along with many different kinds of people. Also you must work hard if you want to be a success."

At Beatrice, the Links showed no mercy, bringing back a 61%-50% victory.

RECORD 'SO-SO'

The Lincoln High wrestling team faired not-so-well, winning only two of the last five meets.

At the Hastings meet Lincoln High powered to a 32-14 victory.

Pinned by a score of 44-8, Pius X was the only city team which folded to the Links' grapplers. All but five matches at that meet were Lincoln High pins.

Both Lincoln Northeast and Lincoln Southeast defeated the struggling Lincoln High matmen. Southeast won 26-20,

Lincoln High could have used some of the points from the Pius X meet to defeat a powerful Omaha South team. The final verdict on that encounter was South 35, Lincoln High 10.

Cotter's Briny Crew Records 5-5 Mark

Lincoln High swimmers have broken exactly even thus far this year, with five vi eta ri es and five defeats.

The tankers were rocked by Sioux City, one of the best in the business, in the first meet, 62- 33.

Coming off that loss, the Links won three in a row from Grand Island (69- 26), Fremont (62-33), and Lincoln Northeast ( 59- 36).

They then took four straight drubbings, from Westside, (68· 27), Benson (54-41), Southeast ( 60- 35), and Hastings (48-47).

Last Friday, they carted home two victories, one from Boys Town (71-24) and one from Omaha South (71-17), to even the total record at 5- 5.

His favorite pastimes include sleeping, bowling t h " ' wa c 1ng TV, and messing around." Stu thinks the best thing about Lincoln High is the great kids that go here.

Gymnastics, the sport in which he 1 ettered, is his favorite because "it is an individual sport in which you really have to prove yourself."

Iii s most memorable experience in sports occurred when he took a first pla6e on the parallel bars in his first varsity meet.

Participating in sports has taught Stu to get along with many kinds of people and to admire the abilities of other gymnasts.

Trembling knees characterized the tryouts which were held February 8 and 9 in the auditorium for the 1967 Joy Night to be presented March 16, 17, and 18, in the Lincoln High Auditorium.

there are complainers who fail to appreciate the importance of certain projects. Such was the case when s tud ents in homeroom classes were recently asked to formulate their philosophies of life.

A teen who has reached a degree of maturity should welcome instead of resent such an opportunity to search himself for the meaning of his life. Each person has his individual philosophy, whether or not he has thought about it. That phi 1osophy need not be profound or complex, it simply should reflect one's way of looking at life.

A youth who takes ti me now to se r iously ponder what he is and what he wants to be is one step nearer achievement than he who wanders without a guide.

Unknown Qualities

Maybe you don't believe that your 11 John Hancock" might reveal the fact that you' re a talkative person with a love of the marvelous or that you' re secretive or imaginative. Many persons, however, are beginning to give the findings in the field of graphology, more commonly known as handwriting analysis, serious consideration.

Historical research, marital advice, employment acceptance, and courts of justice are only a few areas in which graphology is taking a part. In Bangor, Maine, bankers recently took a course in handwriting and now use it to test the honesty and accuracy of potential employees. One trucking firm used graphology to spot accident-prone dri vers and studies show that a reduction in smash-ups resulted.

GRAPHOLOGY ISN' T NEW!

The relationship between personality and handwriting has been recognized for hundreds o f y ears Th e f i rs t book concerning the topic was written in 1630 by Camillo Baldi, an Italian professor.

Little attention was paid to his work for about 200 years when research was again begun by French clergymen. Abbe Michon and Crepieux Jamin were the originators of the &ctual term graphology. They believed that specific characteristics in writing could be traced directly to specific character traits.

The graphologist must have a sample of about eight lines of fountain pen writing to obtain a total picture. He also needs the subject's signature. The signature is a subconscious indication of the way you'd like the world to see yoij.

EVERYONE' S STYLE UNIQUE

Under hypnosis, one subject was told that he was Napoleon and was then asked to sign his name. Oddly enough, the signature was very similar to the way Napoleon actually wrote!

How can handwriting be so revealing when everyone is taught the same mechanics of penmanship in grade school? This is a question most people fail to explore thoroughly. True, many of us were

taught similar techniques, maybe even from the same teacher! Nonetheless, within a few years each person developes a style so unique that the chances are very slim that any two persons wi 11 have exactly the same type of writing.

BUT I'M NOT STINGY!

Sometimes one characteristic will alter the entire meaning of another. It is he;e that the amateur has done much harm. He doesn' t take everything into account and therefore may tell his subject that he's stingy, for example, when closer examination of another writing symbol will disprove the diagnosis entirely.

The slant of a handwriting sample reveals the degree of emotion and reason a person possesses. Florry Nadall, graphologist, says that if an extremely backward slant is present, the subject may be inhibited, egotistical, or arrogant. An extremely forward slant means an opinionated, irritable, or excitable person. No slant at all indicates reserve and self-assurance while an irregular slant shows moodiness and instability.

Energy, aggresiveness, and health are said to be shown in the amount of pressure applied to the pen. A person with very thin, light writing may be irresolute, ailing, or reluctant.

Different degrees of heaviness may indicate anything from energetic inclinations to a domineering nature.

IT'S MORE THAN A GAME

If handwriting symbols are large, look for a sociable person even perhaps a little restless or extravagant at times. On the other hand, smaller script often belongs to a detail-conscious , scholarly, or methodical person.

Graphology has been a novelty along withcrystal balls and fortune-telling in the past, but today many recognize it as a valuable and promising field Its use is becoming more and more widely accepted. Who knows? Maybe the next time you fill out a job application, the employer wi 11 be looking for more than information! Perhaps the old saying "You'd better watch your p's and q' s"will attain a new meaning!

Braced for a heat wave are Barb Schroer. Bry curry, Benny Brown, and Jim Soutar. • * * * * * *

As student director of 110 in the Shade, this year' s Lincoln High opera, Bry Curry says, "I feel that with all the time and talent being put into it, this year's opera will be one of the very best."

Bry's musical participation includes church choir and Girls Octet. She played the lead in the operetta as a ninth grader at Irving Junior High.

Her plans for a career do not include music but rather the study of history, which is to be her major at the University of Nebraska. Her minors will be drama and English.

Bry's most memorable experience at LHS was getting a lead in the All-School Play during her senior year. What she likes best about Lincoln High are the great opportunities for dramatic ·expression and the "tremendously fashionable Pep Club uniforms."

As assistant student director for 110 in the Shade, JimSoutar says, "I enjoy directing, for it is a challenge to characterize a host of parts at once. Each member of the cast has put a lot of effort into it and, although some have no dramatic experience whatsoever, it promises to be a good show."

His interest in music is shown through his participation in church choirs and at school functions at Ballymena Academy in Ireland. He has taken part in several "feis" or Irish music festivals and has also been a member of the County Antrim School Choir for several years.

Jim's most memorable experience happened on his second day at Lincoln High when he received a telegram from England. It was a message from Trinity College, Oxford, saying that he had won one of the 40 Major Open Scholarships given by Oxford.

Lizzie Curry in 110 in the Shade,or Barb Schroer, as she is known at Lincoln High, rates "the outstanding music program" as her favorite part of LHS o She feels participation has taught her how to really "feel" music and grasp the mood it expresses.

Barb says her part as Lizzie Curry in the opera is a difficult one, as Lizzie transforms into three distantly different personalities during the play. "I have found that it is very hard for a girl to know just exactly how a 30-year-old spinster would act."

Her experience in music includes the lead in her junior high operetta, church choir, State Music Clinic, Girls Octet, and membership in a folk-singing group. Her future plans include a major in music at the University of Nebraska.

Barb lists as her favorite pastimes "listening to all kinds of music, singing, and rehearsing operetta lines with Starbuck."

As the sheriff of the small midwest town in 110 in the Shade, Benny Brown says, "Even though I don't have any big love scenes I do get the girl. I am classified as the 'good guy• which certainly proves I wasn't character typed."

Benny's musical career includes singing soprano in the 10th grade, tenor in 11th, and bass in 12th but, he adds, "Nobody wi 11 believe me." His plans for the future include the University of Nebraska where he plans to study in the field of music, "I plan to sing in the shower a

Benny's favorite pastimes include fishing and hunting but, he admits, "when forced to do so I sometimes watch

Many Working Opportunities

"Nursing isoneof the many fields rapidly expanding to m e et t h e de man d s o f th e public. There is a great need for both male and female nurses. There are as many fields open to males as there are to females in the nursing program," says Mrs. Margaret Pavelka, director of the Bryan Memorial School of Nursing.

" A sincere interest in another person's welfare is one of the main characteristics of a good nurse," says Mrs. Pavelka. "Good judgment self-discipline, dedication, and a warm personality are valuable traits.

"While still in high school a person should try to take a 11 the n at u r a 1 sci enc e and mathematics courses offered. English, the social sciences, and psycho 1 o gy are important subjects to better qualify a person entering a medical profession.

Good citizenship is a must. Participation in out-ofschool activities is very important."

THREE-YEAR COURSE OFFERED

A student may choose a threeyear diploma course in nursing through a hospital, The student studies nursing in the classroom and works with patients in a hospital. Upon graduation and after passing the state board examination a person is a R.N., or registered nurse.

A college program in nursing requires three or four years. This includes working with patients in hospitals in addition to completing courses in nursing and in the humanities.

Practical nursing courses usually last one year. After completing the course she must obtain a 1 icense to practice. She then becomes a Licensed Practical Nurse, or LPN.

"The practical nurse is under supervision of a registered nurse or physician," says Mrs. Pavelka.

MRS. PAVELKA

Medicine offers wide opportunities for many kinds o f p eop 1 e who want to help others. "Besides working in the hospital there are many other job opportunities, 11 says Mrs. Pavelka "There are many openings in public health in industrial nursing, psychiatry, and in o f fi c e work

11The satisfaction of a job well done and the rewards of giving rather than receiving make the nursing profession one of importance.

NURSING GRANTS MANY REWARDS

"Nursing offers daily satisfaction to those who have a genuine desire to help others," says Mrs. Pavelka.

11 Among the rewards of nursing are the challenges it offers. A nurse's greatest reward often is the knowledge that her skill has helped to relieve su f fering or to save a life.

"A college program gives a person a broader background in the liberal arts," says Mrs. Pavelka. "A student graduates with a bachelor of science degree in nursing.

"The three-year diploma program wi 11 cost approximately $2500-$3500 depending on the school of nursing being considered. A college program in nursing will cost between $7000-$10, 000."

Along with the Dr. Donald Clifton of the Uni versi ty of Nebraska, and a film, there will be presentations from three different committees: leadership, group dynamics, and evaluation.

Winner or Loser, Outcome of Tryouts

Worth the Effort

Today, another chapter was written in my book of life. If I were titling it, it would be known as the "Trials and Tribulations of Tryouts' and it would be based on a realli fe adventure, namely, trying out for Joy Night.

Talking with other students who were preparing to try out did absolutely nothing to bolster my courage. Everyone was so self-assured, so calm, as if he knew what he was doing. So I started practicing with renewed vigor; however, by biggest problem was trying to put life into an act already in the grip of rigor mortis. After many hours of rehearsal, my "original'' idea seemed a wee bit boring.

As I took my place on the stage, my knees no longer shook; they were scared stiff! Out there was the Central Committee waiting to pass judgment. My guardian angel must have come to my aid because when I closed my eyes, everything was perfection.

Sooner than I had expected, tryouts were over. No more worries, or were there? I had to wait an entire week-end to wonder if I made Joy Night.

Sophomore Janet Varney, junior Mary Newcomer, and senior Dana Carlson have been named gold key Winners in the regional scholastic art awards comvetition.

According to Mrs. Shir 1 ey Martin, Lincoln High art teacher, a banquet was held in Otnaha February 9, honoring the winners.

According to reports in past Lincoln High publications, the first opera, Planquette' s The Chimes of Norway, a musical of the Civil War era, was presented 50 years ago "to a large and enthusiastic audience.

This year's musical, 110 in the Shade, by Schmidt and Jones, the 51st in the line of annual productions, is expected to be as successful as its predecessors.

"The beginning plays were more formal than those given within the last decade or so, but all previous operas at Lincoln High were made a success because of the time, talent, and willingness given by the students and directors themselves along with the hard work of crews and committees," as Mr. Ivan Caldwell, Lincoln High School Choir director, sums it up.

Mrs. Merwick, who knew nothing of the project, was "completely flabbergasted" when she walked into the room and saw it "standing where my table used to be."

The case was a secret project of Mr. Ervin Peterson, father of debater Jane Peterson. All debaters contributed to the cost of the materials of the belated Christmas gift.

"Now, finally, the many trophies won by various members of the Debate Squad throughout the years have a permanent home," said Mrs. Merwick.

Oh, to have all Lincoln High games go the way the Hastings game went Saturday night. The Links dominated the scoring during the entire game. Defensively, the Links allowed the Tigers only a slim six points the first period. The final score was Lincoln High 67, Hastings 53.

Fbur members of the Lincoln High squad wereinthe double figures: Joe Casmer 14, Don Mohlman 16, Bryan Grosscup 15, and Chip Maly 11.

NO. PLATTE GAME A SQUEAKER

So close was the game with North Platte that it almost took a photo finish to show the Links edging out North Platte, 66-65. The score was tied 12 times during the course of the evening's close competition. Leading scorer the Links was Hinman with 17 followed by Mahlman with 15.

LSE DOWNS LHS, 79-58

Lincoln Southeast surprised even itself by upsetting Lincoln High, 79-58. one of the Knights, Bruce Monson, by dropping in 27 points bettered his score highest prior to that night by 11. Lincoln High' s Charles Moore had a good night by accounting for 20 of the Links points.

LINKS BOW TO GI

The battle with Grand Island started on the favorable side for Lincoln High but ended on quite a different note. once the Links lost the lead in the third quarter of play they were unable to regain it. The verdict spelled out defeat for Lincoln High as Grand Island outscored it, 66-61.

BOYS TOWN COWBOYS BITE DUST

Boys town proved to be tough competition, but not quite tough enough to overtake a determined Lincoln High team. The Cowboys bit the dust to the tune of 52- 50 in favor of the Links.

Because the pro football draft choices have not yet been announced, he is unable to say where his football career will take him, although he has talked with scouts from Green Bay, San - Diego, Oakland, and Denver. Wachhol tz would 1 ike to mix his playing with teaching, that is, play for a pro team during first semester, and teach in a school in the city in which he is playing in the off season. "To be a good athlete you've got to sacrifice and give up a lot more than other people would, "says Wachholtz. He also commented that it is "very important to train and dedicate yourself and believe in the coach."

"Bridging the time gap" between the past, the present, and th e future willbe undertaken by Clark Gillaspie and Bob Harris, 1967 Joy Night Masters of Ceremony.

In past presentations audiences have accompanied a young couple out on the town and have listened to a circus ringmaster' s spiel. This year Cl ark and Bob, both seniors. will have the task of tying together the various acts on " Stage 100."

Mrs. Maxine Faust, faculty director for Joy Night stated , "Since the acts cannot be placed in chronological order the arrangement will probably alternate in time from past to present to future and back , carrying through the theme 'Stage 100.' This is where the ideas of the masters of ceremony come in They need to bring the entire program together giving it continuity "

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NEBRASKA

On March I, 1967, the State of Nebraska officially celebrated its IOOth birthday. In keeping with the Centennial spirit, evident throughout the state, Lincoln High School also observed the festive occasion.

The Lincoln Public Schools were closed by official proclamation of the governor of the state, Norbert Tiemann, who authorized the afternoon of March I as a state-wide holiday.

Costumes reminiscent of the early pioneer days in Nebraska were popular and acceptable attire at school ,on the morning of Centennial Day. Both students and teachers entered enthusiastically into the spirit of the event; the all-out participation seemed to indicate that they were proud Qf their heritage as citizens of the state of Nebraska.

Although Lincoln High School cannot, as yet, claim the same age as the state, it can claim the honor of being the oldest public high school in the city, having been in existence 96 of the 100 years of statehood.

The 1967-68 Boys and Girls Octets have been selected by Mr. Ivan Caldwell and Miss Dorthea Gore, following auditions held last week.

Students trying out were tested on singing ability, scholarship , attendance, dependability, and how well each voicP blended with the group.

The newly-chosen members of the Girls Octet are first sopranos April Crossgrove and Linda Sue Lyons; sec o nd s opranos Lawson and Peg Walkenhorst; first altos Mary McKel vey and Anna Paul; and second altos Susie Kos and Linda Loos. Sherry Wallin will be accompanist.

The new Boys Octet will include first tenors Robert Shaner and Roger Elliot; second tenors Tom Eisele and William Kulwicki; baritones Steve Voss and David James; and basses Dave Ripley and Fred Key.

The groups will entertain at both community and school functions.

Teen Vote?

In presenting the people of NebraskG with the opportunity to vote on the constitutional amendment lowering the voting age to 19, the Legi sl a.tu re is showing their faith in us.

As yo un g p eo p I e i n t he s t ate , we thank the Legislature for its vote of confidence: we hope the people of Nebraska wi 11 find us mature enough to accept the responsibilities which come with the right to vote.

Nov,, it is our duty as future, thinki ng voters to prove ourselves worthy of such a privilege, and to educate ourselves to the great responsibilities which voting brings.

IdeaNot New

Twenty yearsago, in 1947,anationwide pol I was taken on the question of lowering the voting age to 18.

Links were included in the over 100, 000 students polled. Nationally, the results showed 51 per cent of al 1 the boys were in favor of I oweri ng the age, 44 per cent opposed it, 5 per cent were undecided. The girls oppossi ng constituted 48 per cent, 47 per cent were for it, and 5 per cent undecided.

THE ADVOCATE

The Advocate is published by students of Lincoln High School bi-weekly during the school year except u1miediately 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.

Maturity,

Intellect, Factors in Teen Voting

If the voters accept the state constitutional amendment allowing suffrage at age 19, Nebraska will join four other states who have voting age limits under 21. Kentucky and Georgia allow voting at 18. The two newest states, AlaskR and Hawaii, have adopted theage limits of 19 and 20, respectively.

A recent survey conducted by The Advocate revealed that of the 50 Links polled, 41 were in favor of lowering the voting age to 19, eight were opposed to it, and one was undecided.

Following are samples of the opinions expressed by students of Lincoln High

Evidently for voting at 19 is Jane Peterson , junior, secretary of the Nebraska Youth Council for Teen-Age Suffrage. "I have found that we can pay taxes, go to court and to jail, but are not given the right to vote. Nebraska has prided itself

• llllllllrl7Zl .. llll in its unicameral; now this JANE state should pride itself in becoming one of the few states that allow persons under 21 to vote."

* * *

u1 am against a lower voting age because most of us aren' t mature enough to make decisions of such vital importance." is the opinion of senior Clark Gillaspie. "I believe that youth are wellinformed, but we are easily persuaded en ma sse - ·-Some times in the wrong direction CLARK as exemplified by Communist protests on campuses across the country.

* *

Jim Ogden, senior, is in favor of low e ring the vat ing age, but suggests that certain restrictions be placed on voters. "Perhaps an exam on current political events should be given to all prospective voters , or perhaps voting should be placed on a basis where only those who JIM exercised their right to vote would keep it Voting should be a question of whether a person is interested or disinterested."

* *

"The fact that teen-agers can be drafted should not be the main reason for a lower voting age. Voting should be al lowed because questions voted on directly concern us," says Dave Rip1 e y, junior. "We make up a good portion of the nation's working force so we should be able to de- DAVE cide which laws to accept concerning our labor."

Rick Sills, junior, agrees that the voting age should be lowered. "I definitely feel that the voting age must be lowered. We are much more aware of moddern problems than were teens of many years ago. Some say that we' 11 vote as our parents vote , but I think because of our better RICK educational we have developed our own ideas, rather than following our parents point of

* *

"The age requirements of this state were set 100 years ago," states Steve Voss, junior. "At that time the people were primarily concerned with surviving, getting enough food, and keeping their land rather than how the government was run. As these problems have largely STEVE been removed, the youth of today have an earlier and increased interest in the government, and thus could be better voters.

* *

Robin Hadfield, sophomore, is against lowering the voting age because "at the age of 19 a person isn' t mature enough to real1y care about the qual ificat ions of a candidate. A 19year-old would be much more likely to vote for a young candidate with few qualifications than for ROBIN an older one who has a long list of I think that 19-year-olds can wait just two more years."

* * Fred Schrekinger, senior, says, "Teenagers are mature enough at 19 to make choices in government. Most have had all the ci vies training they are going to get. People on the whole a re as wel 1 prepared at 19 as at 21. Voting at 19 starts us thinking about our roles as FRED citizens earlier and this makes us better citizens. By 21 many people will have lost what enthusiam the y might have had in high school."

OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE?

If you are a teen who believes himself mature and informed enough to vote, can you answer the following basic citizenship questions?

1. What does the word incumbent mean?

2. In what was is Nebraska's legislature unique?

3. For what length of time is the governor elected?

4. What former Link is an assistant to the Governor?

5. Who :·epresents Nebraska in the U.S. Senate?

6. Who opposed the present Governor in the 1966 Campaign?

7. What is Nebraska' s present tax base?

Thumbnailers

Byron Rance, a key man behind the scenes for many, if not all, Lincoln High dramatic productions says to sophomores and juniors, t sign up for a crew unless you intend to really work!" He knows how much time and energy it takes to stage a one- or two-night show.

Byron's favorite pastimes include electronics, driving, fencing, and girls. His interest in electronics is made apparent through his work in the sound box and on the lights.

His plans for the future include the hope that he may spend some time in New York this swnmer, later returning to the University of Nebraska to study in the College of Engineering. •

Senior Don Doolittle says his plans for the future include the University of Nebraska, also, but in the field of actuarial science which deals with statistics and probabilities.

Don, having lettered twice on the Varsity Swim Team, likes best the spirit of the squad. He also likes the wide variety of subjects offered in the curriculum. He dislikes the "mad race for popularity."

According to Don, some of his leisure time in the summer months has been spent traveling through the New England states. He plans to see California during the latter part of this summer.

Music plays an important role in the life of Kathy Helton, member of Lincoln High' s Aeolian Choir, Orpheons, and Madrigals. She says the most memorable experience in her three years at LHS has been, "the working, planning, surging, and utter confusion of 110 In The Shade, this year's opera."

Kathy has done considerable traveling in the U.S. as an Air Force "Brat." She says, "I've had a lot of experience with different school curriculums and I think Lincoln High' s is one of the best." She likes the "all-arouncJ enthusiasm at LHS," and dislikes "people who can remain 'dead' at pep rallies."

Kathy' s plans for the future are to attend the University of Nebraska for the first two years of college. Her field will be vocal music teaching at the secondary level. She hopes to finish her schooling at Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey.

" Going on camping trips in Europe" rates as a good way to meet people for LHS senior Sally Moore. Sally has toured 32 states and 19 foreign countries on camping trips with her family. Her interest in foreign countries was increased last year by having Emnet Araya, AFS student from Ethiopia, in her home.

Sally• s friends know she has a great interest in music having been a member of her church choir for nine years. She and i1er two sisters often play their recorders (wooden flutes) for groups and programs. School activities such as Aeolian Choir and Madrigals keep Sally busy, too.

As a graduating senior Sally has this word for underclassmen, "Your high school years go by so fast. Enjoy them now but keep to the books."

Assuring each other that stage 100 will be the show of the century are Don Doolittle, Kathy Helton, Sally Moore, and Byron Rance.

LINKS OBSERVE STATE'S lOOTH BIRTHDAY

Students and teachers of Lincoln High went "all out" in celebration of Nebraska On the morning of March 1, designated as Centennial "dress-up" day, ingenuity became the key word as flowing dresses, Indian war paint, and western costumes could be seen everywhere. In picture 1 (upper left), pioneer woman Sarah Luedke, along for the ride, smiles as prospector John Cherry and Big Chief Bob Hoyer struggle with John's mule, Thelma. SaraMeeks and Sharon Harris are informed by Mrs. Luella Van Vleck that typists formerly were referred to as "typewriters" in picture 2 (lower left). In picture 3 (second from left), "Dead-eye" Dorcas Weatherby says, "Reach for the sky!" to amazed outlaws Tony Tomandl and Donald Dingman. Miss Florence Jenkins puts her best foot forward for Nebraska Statehood Day in realistic attire right down to here toes in picture 4 (third from left). Pioneer school girls Mary Arenasand Judy Everett pose for a "flick" with a Lincoln High "school marm," Miss Frances Buell in picture 5 (second from right). In picture 6 (extreme right), Squaw Coral Bowman sums up her feelings toward palefaces with the comment, "Ugh!" Other ingenious costumes included that of several pioneer ministers, genuine Indian attire, and an old-ttme barber. All-: in-all, "Centennial Dress-up Day" proved to be "one-in-a-hundred" for students at Lincoln High.

Red Cross--Out To Win You!

"Red Cross is out to wint you over" was selected as the official slogan of the 1967 Lincoln High School Red Cross Enrollment Week Drive scheduled for March 13-17. The slogan originated in Mr. Windle Reel's first-period guidance class.

For its efforts, the class will receive a trophy at an assembly to kick off the week' s acti vi ti es. A film pertaining to Red Cross will also beshown at the assembly.

To promote the enrollment drive, the Council is making bookmarks, table decorations, booster tags, posters, and is stamping napkins. Members also hope to have publicity spots on local radio stations.

Throughout the week, a wishing well located outside the cafeteria will take donations.

The sponsors of the Red Cross Council are Mrs. Virginia Roberts and Mrs. Alice Updegraft.

Royalty Named At Sunny Bounce

Rabbit Royalty Jane Whitmer and Roger Rife wn the Human Relations Council baby picture contest. The queen and king each received a bunch of carrots at the Bunny Bounce in the Lounge March 2.

Proceeds from the votes and dance will go to LARC Schoo 1.

Want Lifetime Joh Security? Cosmotology May Be for You

11 digh school offers many wonderful experiences, but it also brings the imminent responsibility of choosing a career.

"If you want to contribute to society and to yourself, perhaps you should consider a cosmostology career."

This is the recommendatioH of Mr. Bruce B. Nims, former Link and graduate of Reece and Sybil' s School of Hairdressing, presently the director and co-owner of Joseph's College of Beauty.

"A diploma, given at the completion of a course in cosmotology at any accredited beauty college, could be your passport to an enlightening career."

girl who is a trained beautician can always be assured of a good income. If she has been away from her job she may easily return, and in a short time rebuild her practice while making a profit for her services."

Requirements for enrollment include proof of ten years of schooling--preferably a high school education, birth and health certificates.

"A good personality, patience, and a talent for working with hair are among the ingredients for success," claims Mr. Nims.

"Joseph's College of Beauty offers both clinic work and classroom instruction for a well-rounded education."

MR. NIMS

Assistance in locating suitable housing is another advantage Joseph's offers to out-of-town students.

Joseph's College of Beauty is the only school in Nebraska associated with Bruno's Advanced School of Hairdressing in Toronto, Canada.

"Graduates of Joseph' s have the opportunity to return to refresh their training up to four years after graduation.

"A graduate with specialized training may become an instructor or enter the field of hair coloring artistry. If you wish to be independent, owning a salon may be your solution."

New classes begin in June, September, and October.

Future Secretaries Earn Awards, Pins for Service and Competency

Twenty members of the Future Secretaries Club were awarded pins for competency in shorthand and service to the club at a special awards party given February 14.

The pins consist of a goldpl ated shorthand tablet with the shorthand speed attainment written below. Pin guards are gold '67 emblems, which are earned through service to the club.

Talking to the girls on a

career as a secretary was the guest speaker. Miss Kathy Brt, a Lin coln High graduate.

" Half of this group have earned awards on material dictated at 120 and 100 words per minute This gives them a speed reserve which will enable them to take most office dictation," says Mrs. Luella Van Vleck , shorthand teacher.

To earn the shorthand pin, a girl must pass at least two '"takes" with 95 per cent accuracy. A "take" consists of five-minute dictation of new material, usually business letters, at a consistent speed. Accuracy includes such i terns as spelling, punctuation , paragraphing, typographical errors, spacing, and proper margins.

What do e s spring bring to your mind? To the mind of my art teacher it apparently brings kites pitching playfully in the spring winds. From this inspiration was born another assignment for the elementary design class of Mrs. Shirley Martin.

Yes, we have been confronted with the task of constructing kites. Th e project is well underway and every morning I assemble the tissue paper and paste along with the other class members.

Step 1 is to build c reative and interesting frames out of strips of r e ed. This is accomplished by soaking the re e d in water thus making it pliable enough to b end to the de sired form, then pasting and tying everything tog e th e r.

My original intent was to have a go at my old familiar flower pattern again. I've worked flower designs into almost every assignment I've ever done in art class so I figured I couldn' t go too far wrong! Finally the frame was completed and one out of three people could distinguish it as a flower. I felt I was ready to begin Step 2!

GYMNASTSSQUEEZEINT02NDSPOTINSTATE

One half of a point isn't much but it enough to slip Lincoln High into a second place at the state gymnastics tournament. Lincoln Northeast took first with points, then the Links with followed by Lincoln Southeast and Omaha Central who tied for third place with 51 points each.

The team has put together a regular season record of 7 victories and only 1 loss (to Northeast). In the district competition Lincoln High fought to a second place and qualified for 12 spots in the state meet. At the state meet Lincoln High showed its

persistence by placing 10 of the 12 in seven events.

Jamie Hruban, of Omaha Central, was voted all-around gymnast after capturing 4 firsts and a fourth for 51 points. Northeast grabbed the other top spots but the fighting Links found berths in al 1 events except the horizontal bar.

Here' s how the Links ranked: FloorExcercise- Stuart Pauley-8. Trampoline- Bob Semrad-3. Side Horse-Don Williams-2; Vic McWilliams-5. Parallel Bars- Pauley-6; John Tilts-10.

No Room at Top for Links; Season Completed with 5-10

Scoring 28 points on foul shots was to the advantage of the Bellvue Chicftons as they outscored the Links by only 3 points to win the district semi-finals, 66-63.

Mrs. Opal Stoehr, physical education teacher who cosponsors the girls together with Miss Helen Miller, also a physical education instructor, feels that "the gymnastics team helps the girls to build themselves physically and characterwise, and gives them an opportunity to perform before the public."

utes of the game, the Links tried frantically to take the lead. However, the Chicftons managed to weather the LHS onslaught and finish the game out in front.

Two Lincoln High players were in double figures: Joe Casmer with 22 and Don Mohlman with 16.

Chip Maly and Charles Moore fouled out late in the fourth period.

LHS FALLS TO OMAHA SOUTH

Lincoln High again fell victim, by a narrow margin, to rated competition.

SONS OF THE RED AND BLACK

Herman

Ron Heman , who pl ans to attend the University of Nebraska to study vPterinary medicine, likes" the wide range of sports activities that Lincoln High offers."

He has participated in cross country, wrestling and track. Ron lettered in wrestling two years, and in track two years. Track is his fafori te sport because "'it is al 1 up to you to win; no one else can win a race for you.''

The peak of embarrassment came to Ron at his first varsity meet. About three-quarters of the way through the course he was overcome by a side-ache and had to walk the rest of the way to the finish line.

Ron's favorite pastime is participation in sports of all kinds including hunting and fishing.

In the pet peeve department Ron "can't take the way-out ' mod clothes and the people who wear th em."

His most memorable experience came when he was at a duo track meet with Pius X and he had to run in pouring rain in mud up to his ankles.

"I think that every boy should at least try out for

Lytell some sport; even if he doesn't letter, he can keep his body in shape."

George Lytell, in the Industrial Arts curriculum, has lettered twice in wrestling which he lists as his favorite sport.

His favorite pastime is "watching the Cheerleaders jump up and down."

His most embarrassing experience came when he was wrestling at Grand Island and fell on the mat just as he was going to shake his opponents hand before the match.

He listshismost memorable experience as "last year at the state meet when I beat a boy who was rated as second."

George's pet peeve occurs "when people pop gum in my ear."

In addition to wrestling he also participated in football and track. His extracurricular activities are playing flag-football, volt eyball, and golf.

George's future plans are "to go to college and study to be a teach er. "

Lincoln High' s regular season ended at Grand Island with a victory when the Islanders fell to the Links, 74-38.

Flexible Decisions?

Many decisions have been made recently concerning classes graduating from Lincoln High School. The decision not to walk across the stage at graduation was made .El last year's graduating class. The decisions against Hobo Day and the All Sports Banquet were made for 1 ast year's graduating class.

It is the feeling of many seniors that each cl ass at 1 east shou 1 d have the op po rtun i ty to discuss decisions previously made that affect it and further, that each graduating classbejudged on merits as to what it may or may not do.

Once a pri vi 1 ege has been taken away, many students realize the true value of that privilege and show, by their conduct, whether or not they are deserving of reconsideration. Such was made evident by the good spirit displayed on Centennial Day.

Must every decision be final?

Lonely Bicycle

One lonely bicycle leaning against a rail on the west side of the building Significant in today's automobile-oriented world? Perhaps not to the casual passer-by but in reality it might be considered as representative of our times, of our generation.

The bicycle, as do many individuals 1 stands alone, for reasons not known nor important. It stands alone, grateful for the privilege to do so in the midst of overwhelming conformity.

What did you think about when you saw that lonely bicycle? Or did you even see it?

The Advocate

Lincoln High School 22nd and J Streets Lincoln 19. Nebraska

The Advocate is issued by th e students of Lincoln High School bi-weekly during the schoo l year except immediately following vacations. It is issued without cost to every Lincoln High student. Adv e rtising rates ar e $1 per c olumn inch.

Second-class postage is paid at Lincoln, Nebraska.

Varsity Cheerleader Judy Bowl i n would "like to see more pep rallies next year" even though she won't be here to lead the cheering. Naturally, the great LHS spirit is what she likes best about Lincoln High.

Judy's plans for the future include attending classes at the University of Nebraska next fall and a summer job after graduation in June Asked what she'd like to do on the last day of school she said, "challenge the senior men to a mud fight in the lot.''

for the future she would make if she could: 1) a trip to Europe, 2) a visit to Disneyland and 3) a wish that the war in Vietnam would end.

Similar desires were expressed in the three wishes of LHS senior Kathy Hare. They include: 1) a senior year forever, 2) the very best summer yet, and 3) a trip to Europe "like r ve planned for the past two summers." She, too, likes best about LHS the "spirit of the peppers for our teams.''

Kathy plans to work, attend summer school, and have a "groovey" vacation in Estes Park, Colorado , this summer , Next fall she will enroll in the Teacher's College at the University of Nebraska.

Believes a Basic Course

"Freedom of speech is one of the fundamental freedoms of this country and must be preserved at all costs. This is one of the main freedoms a journalistic career offers." This is the viewpoint given by Mr. Jack Hart, editorial editor of the Lincoln Journal.

"In editorial writing, freedom of speech can be carried to the full extent , limited only by the bounds of libel , and should be used for constructive reasons and not for tearing down persons or things."

A teenager can get mu c h value and good experience from working on a school newspaper. Mr. Hart explained, "the students are given the opportunity to express themselves and become more aware of what goes on in the world around them They can also deliver items of interest to classmates." He feels that the policies and operations of a school newspaper can be run much like a regular paper although the subjects may differ somewhat

The Lincoln Journal part time employment for University students , which can be helpful for those esp e cially int e rested in a journalism career. It also provides ai opportunity for a student to see whether or no t this is reall y the field of empl o yment in which he would.be inter e sted."One can best develop his journalism talent through experience gained in newspaper work," he said.

Mr. Hart feels that a person planning to enter th e newspaper profession should get the broadest and best education available, specifically in the subjects of history , political science, economic s , geography, and j ournalism itself.

He encourges the furthering of education and feels, "every one should have all of the schooling he can obtain , for life now requires more and more education for people to succeed."

He favors teens of today and in his opinion "they are probably more concerned about world affairs then those of the last generation. They are more mature and responsible than they have been in times past." He doesn' t agree on all the teen fads of this day, but "every generation uses its own creativity and should have the fads they desire.

"Teens don' thave the jobs and duties past generations had, but for the most part · they find constructive outlets for their leisure time." He also feels that it might be better if teens did have more duties and chores to perform.

In his opinion, "youth wi 11 be more able and better prepared than other generations , to run this country in the future, because of their better e ducation and related facilities. He al so believes, "Pressures might be greater for the younger generation, especially since there seems to be much more homework, competition, and emphasis on grades, education , and achei vement."

Mr. Hart is interest e d in community affa i rs and enjoys reading, bridge, and traveling. He is a member of many organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce, the Committee on Religion and Race, the City Library Board, the Centennial Board , the State Agriculture Committee, and oth e r civic a nd pr o f e ssional or ganizations. Very important to him is his presidency of Gateway Ser tom a Club.

Mr Hart has a Bachelors Degree from the University of Nebraska with a major in International Relations. He became interested in writing during his youth. He was an ambitious baseball fan and cherishes scrap books with articles he has written about different players.

what he wanted to do for a 1 i ving. His first experiences were with sports writing before he entered the Navy. After the service he eventually got into general newspaper work.

Mr Hart's ppsitions have progressed from a night pol ice reporter, general assignment reporter, assistant city editor, political writer, state house reporter, farm editor, to his present position as editorial page editor, a position he has held for the past seven years.

'Hostel' To Attract Summer Bicyclists

The Lincoln Lancaster Council of Youth (LLCY) is renovating a donated red barn 28 mil es from Lincoln near Hi ckman l ak es as a Hostel , an overnight lodge for vigorous bicyclists.

LLCY and Keentime Kouncil will co-sponsor an April 1 dance to raise funds to repair the barn. The Hostel will open to the public by the end of summer.

The slogan of LLCY is" Let youth help Nebraska grow. " For Nebraska's Centennial , a mid-April migration to Beatrice will re-enact the journey of the state's first homesteaders.

George Hinman wants to be "weal thy, successful, and happy" for the rest of his life.

Feeling that there is a good chance to attain at least two of these goals, George enjoys the varied opportunities to excel in extracurricular activities at Lincoln High School. He believes there is something for everyone who is interested. He feels that the faculty and coaching staff are superior.

George's summer plans include playing baseball for Gerry's Legion baseball team and helping it take the state title. Next year he will enter the University of Nebraska

* * * * *

Track letterman Tom Hafemeister has two suggestions for the betterment of LHS: "a larger lunchroom (possibly using first, second, and third floor with all classes scheduled in the basement) and a smaller whip for Mr. Scott."

He likes best about Lincoln High School the "picnics in the lunchroom and 'serf'boards." Rainy days on the track and classes that drag and waste time are what Tom dislikes.

He has three wishes for students at LHS. They are for track to be over at sundown, for the Links to have a "tremendous track team and that there be a greater appreciation for good poetry written by Lincoln High seniors "

His final word to underclassmen b£fore he graduates is "Don' t waste your time looking for the 'easy' way out. It's 'easier' to do it the hard way."

FLAG, BOOK FOR RED CROSS

Mrs. Ellery Davis, director of Red Cross Youth in Lancaster County, presented Lincoln High School with a Red Cross flag and a book, entitled An Encounter with Henry Dunat by George Geneva, at an assembly to kick off the Red Cross Enrollment Week Drive.

These gifts, given to the school by the Lancaster County

Red Cross Council, were accepted by Jan out ton, chairman of the enrollment drive.

At the assembly, a film, Call to Action, was shown to inform the students about the ways Red Cross assists in time of emergency or disaster.

Mrs. Davis is a graduate of Lincoln High.

suzy

Her interest in horses stems from her e.acly exveriences with them. When Suzy was two or three years old, her mother bought a horse; this was her first contact with these animals and the forerunner of a continuing hobby--the training of horses. Suzy trained her first horse, a pony, when she was 8 and a full-grown horse at age 10. When Suzy was 12 she bought another horse which she has been training for 2 years and is still in the process!

''Patience is the key quality a good horsewoman should possess,'' says Suzy. It would seem that she has this quality as evidenced by her accumulation of three trophies and 60 ribbons, 10 to 15 of which show first places.

All the horse shows she has ever entered have been in Nebraska. The general contest categories in these horse shows have been pleasure riding (when the horse canters, trots, ur walks around the ring), horsemanship, reining, pole bending, barrel racing, and cutting. The shows are highly competitive; one show had 70 entrants!

The most outstanding show that she has seen was the Arabian Horse Show held in Lincoln in May of 1966. Horses from all over the nation were represented, but to her the most impressive aspect of the show was the presence of native Arabs, bedecked in their characteristic costumes. One Arab presented a jeweled dagger to a show winner.

To those who areinterested1 in riding or buying a horse she gives the following adv ice. First, the horse from a reliable source (no rhyme intended) and learn as much as you can about riding. She suggests joining the 4-H Club which will help immensely, teaching one not only the correct way to ride, but safety measures as well.

Looking to the future, Suzy plans to keep on riding and perhaps go on to- bigger shows. She would like to train horses for a living, but realizing it's not very profitable (money-wise) she will probably continue to train horses as a hobby.

Opinion of Season's Coaches: Spring Possibilities Are Good

The coming of spring marks the beginning of a new season for sports at Lincoln High. Baseball, golf, tennis and track workouts are now in progress.

GOLF

Harry Kuklin, golf coach, says, "This team has good possibilities and , with a 1 ittle luck, could capture the state title.

"Having three returning lettermen will be an advantage to the team," he adds , "as the main team consists of only four boys."

TRACK

Harold Scott's track team will run into some difficulties as it will be meetinv some of the top competition in the state.

"This is the best turno ut in seven or eight years,'' commented Coach Scott.

TENNIS

The tennis team, coached by LeRoy Colson, starts drilling this week.

''Lack of experience except for several returning lettermen, will present a few prob1 ems ," says Coach Colson. He expects a fair season.

BASEBALL

Buford Grosscup, baseball coach says, "I'm al ways optimistic about the upcoming season."

With many boys coming from 1 ast year' s reserve team, Coach Grosscup hopes for improvement. There will be six returning lettermen giving the team the advantage of experience.

"With 105 boys out for the sport I can be choosy," says the coach. "Only about 30 boys will make the team but I would like to keep them a 11 ."

Anyone under the missapprehension that teachers are 1 azy, overweight, and apathetic on the sports scene would have been totally amazed watching the faculty overrule The Intramural All-stars, 52-d7, in a rough-tough battle fought last week.

Participation in sports has taught him to train to discipline both mind and body.

Being on the gymnastics team that took second in the state two years in a row, and earning a third place in the Nebraska Conference meet on the still rings as a junior, rate as his most memorable experiences.

Rich leaves these words of wisdom for consideration: "I have found that the harder a person pushes himself the farther his goals can reach, and from this comes the true kn owl edge of personal weal th.' '

Don "Turkey" Mohlman, who has lettered in football, basketball, and baseball, feels that sports has taught him to believe in himself and his team mates.

His most embarrassing moment came during the basketball season when the team was defeated by Pius X. However, some comfort came to Don when he was chosen to be on the All-city Basketball Team.

Don is in the Engineering Curriculum and plans to study architecture at the University of Nebraska.

In the pet peeve department he has little patience with people who ask, "What' s the matter with Lincoln High?"

Don Williams, whose favorite pastime is " staying in shape," likes the sports program Lincoln High offers. He lettered in gymnastics three years. In gymnastics "you feel good when you know you' ve done your best and your scores show it."

Taking state in the sideh orse event in his junior year ranks as Don' s 1memorabl e experience. Don feels that if there is something you wish to attain badly enough, the one way to get it is through HARD WORK.

The peak of embarrassment cametoDon asajunior, when, at a dual meet with Columbus, he kept falling off the side horseJ

Chip Maly, who is in the Arts and Sciences Curriculum, plans to attend the University of Nebraska and study Business Administration.

Defeating Boys Town on its home court this year rated as his most memorable experience. Basketball has taught Chip that "it takes a team effort to win even though an individual may stand out."

He has 1 ettered in baseball and basketball, but the latter is his favorite sport because it is the most chal1 enging for him.

Chip feels that getting bitten by a dog in a "certain" place after a "certain" girl pushed him is his most embarrassing experience

He has a full list of extracurricular activities which include Links Board sports editor, Senior Class vicei;resident, varsity basketball and baseball, and Joy Night participation.

Nothing To Do?

Our progressive generation will spend less time earning a 1 iving than those who have 1 ived before us. Pleasant as this prospect may be, the situation presents us with the decision of how to use leisure hours.

The average American's solution to uncommitted time is to sit in front of the television several hours dai 1 y. Instead of parti ci pa ting in some acti vi ti es to supplement" spectati ng," he perpetual 1 y glues his attention to the TV tube.

Lei sure time experiences offer many opportunities to develop one's talents and interests in fields that he enjoys. Art, music, reading, athletics, clubs, service projects, or the do-it-you rsel ·f trend are a few of the areas which might prove attractive.

Part-time employmentmay fill spare time for some. In addition to work and family responsibilities, each person needs recreation and pleasure to renew both body and mind. Summer weather invites outdoor activities such as water sports, hiking, tennis, badminton, and picnics.

Learning and developing the initiative to plan and choose constructive activities is taking advantage of leisure time which is intended to be profitably enjoyed, not wasted.

For Tonight Show

Johnny Carson, star of NBC' s " Tonight ,3how," who currently refers to himself as'' an unemployed says, "many announcers and show people come from the Midwest; the lack of a regional accent makes the midwesterner' s voice pleasant in all areas of the country."

At the press conference held by Mr. Carson prior to his appearance in the Nebraska Centennial Show of the Century, he told of the years he spent in Nebraska.

When he lived in Norfolk, Nebraska, during his teen years, Mr. Carson's public performances as'' The Great Carsoni--Ventriloquist and Magician" were numerous. By the time he graduated from high school and entered the Navy he had decided upon show business as a career.

In 1945 he entered the University of Nebraska where he majored in radio and speech. While there he worked as an announcer and handy-man for station KFAB.

After college, a WOW-TV program called" The Squirrel's Nest" took most of his time prior to his moving to Hollywood. His first job there was to host a half-hour program with a $25 budget.

This led to a position as star of a network show, "Earn Your Vacation," during which time he also wrote comedy monologues for Red Skelton. Before taking his position with NBC' s "Tonight Show" he hosted the game show "Yibo Do You Trust?'?

Recently announcing his re- · tirement as host of the"Tonight Show,"he disclosed that he plans to do TV specials, nightclub engagements, and concert tours.

I Guten Tai{! Links Greet New Gernian Student

Lincoln High has extended a welcome to Reinhard Urbanczyk, anew student from Munich, Germany. Reinhard's study in the United States is being made poss i bi e by the International Christian Youth Program. He is REINHARD being sponsored by Christ Methodist Church.

According to Reinhard, the primary objectives of the program are "to provide opportunities for young people of different countries to live in a different environment and culture for a time and there to be involved in discovering and fulfilling what it means to live as a Christian."

He arrived in Philadelphia on July 20, 1966 , where he attended a nearby college along with other students studying under the same program. The students participated in a welcoming program which lasted about five days. Coming to Lincoln, Reinhard stayed with a family three miles southeast of Lincoln and attended Norris High School in Cortland Then, he moved once more to his present address, the home of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Fry.

In Germany, Reinhard attended the Max-Planck-Gymnasium which has 900 students in grades 5 through 13. "The school is not co-educational and it is academically more difficult than a regular high school because only a very small percentage of all teenagers in Germany attend this type of school. The school day usually extends from 8:00 a.m to 1:00 p.m. on weekdays and until noon on Saturdays," he explained.

The student is not allowed to select the kinds of subjects he wants to take. "All subjects are required, and the student has all subjects with the same group of students. Usually one class, composed of about 25-30 persons, has ohe assigned classroom and the teachers change rooms.

Senior Glen Glagavs has interesting plans for the last day of school and for the ensuing summer. On June 2 he plans to just "leave" (after school of course), for a leisurely summer after which he will attend the University of Nebraska.

"Playing pool and teasing a certain redhead" are Glen' s current favorite pastimes. His pet peeve is "never having enough gas when I need it." Asked what he would choose to be, animal, vegetable, or mineral, Glen said he'd like to be a mineral, if he could, and be discovered. His favorite sayings are "What's up?" and "Thanks-a lot!"

Glen likes best about Lincoln High "the ability and accomplishments of LHS students." He says he wouldn't change anything about the school.

Gary Giebelhaus, on the other hand, would make a few changes in Lincoln High related to the Type-A lunches and to the amount of time spent in school. He says, "I like the relationship between teachers and students best about LHS."

Gary would like to be a hammer, if he could be anything, and "pound everybody," The object of his pounding might also be his pet peeve, "underclass boys who try to out-do the senior men."

and Glen

spring as Linda Johnson and Sue-Bee Wilson hold them back.

His favorite pastimes include "rodding around in Ford country, bowling, hunting, and fishing." He says he' 11 probably spend his summer having fun before attending the University of Nebraska next fal 1. Since the last day of school will commemo-

rate for Gary" the end of compulsory education, "he's going to celebrate.

Senior Linda Johnson feels the best thing about being a student at Lincoln High is her senior year. She says

"The students have different subjects every day of the week; there are only one or two periods a week in some areas while in others there are up to six periods a week. Altogether, students usually take about 10 different subjects."

According to Reinhard, German teenagers do not differ too much from Americans. "We indulge in about the same activities as Americanyouths and we participate in all kinds of sports, except American football and baseball. Instead of these we play soccer. Also, sports are not connected with the schools in Germany as is true here in America. Students who want to be really active in a sport usually belong to a club."

Reinhard's plans for the future include one more year of school. "If I make up the 12th grade on my own, I will probably spend 18 months in the service, as we are usually drafted after school. Eventually I want to attend the university in Munich.''

Tryouts To Climax Hours of Practice

Sore muscles and physical fatigue have been the results of efforts by junior girls attending the after-school cheerleading clinics.

These clinics, taught by Varsity and Apprentice Cheerleaders, will help the girls trying out to learn the 10 tryout cheers.

Linda has an interesting pet peeve, " it' s people who call me 'goalpost'!" Her favorite pastime is"beating the senior boys at Twister."

'legislative

In the interim from 1941 to the present, the school has increased f rom an initial enrollment of five students, to 166 in 1951-52 , and to 698 in 1965-66. Several attempts by the Legislature to close the scho:o,l have had little support. The 1957 tornado was possibly the school's greatest disaster.

The school offers 14 tecitn o logy courses including: air conditioning, auto body , auto mechanics, building construction, communications, diesel, drafting , electrical , electronics , electronic data processing , machinist, mechanical, and welding and metallurgy.

Advisory boards consisting of men from different industries determine what should be included i n the curriculum to best serve the student.

"Graduates of the school are cl assi fi ed as technicians: The craftsman learns n1anipulati ve skilJs , the engineer learns theoretical techniques, while the technician learns both almost equally," says Mr. Lindell Churchill, director of admissions at the school.

Applicants for training must be at least 16 years of age and physically and mentally capable of benefiting from the training. A high school education is recommended but is not required. Aptitude tests are given to e ach applicant.

The average cost to attend the school is around $1,500 for six quarters, the required time for graduation. Each quarter is 12 weeks 1 ong with 35 hours of work a week. The school operates from 8: fJI) a m to 4:00 p.m., through Friday, with night school classes held each Wednesday evening.

"Th e school is co-educat ional; however, girls are able to take only electronics, electronic data processing, and drafting. This is because industry does not, as yet, accept women in other fields, " says Mr. Churchil 1.

He heartily recommends that a prospective student choose the field in which he is most interested since" the opportunities for a good man in one field and f0r a good m an i n an o th er f i el d a re equal."

Upon the succe s sful completion of a course, a highaverage student is qualified to be an instructor in that field. A diploma is received upon graduation; a partial completion of a course merits a certificate of achievement upon the request of the student.

"Job oppo r tuni ti es are widely available to the graduate of Nebraska Tech. Last December, 229 graduates had over 2, 500 jobs from which to choose," says 'lr. Churchill.

Gymnastics Team demonstrated its skill by making a good showing in the first intraschool meet held March 18 at Lincoln High School. The meet involved the teams of the three Lincoln public high schools.

According to Miss Eunice Johnson, coordinator of Ele•'.!en tary and Girls Secondary Physical Education, "This meet determined no city championship because entries were uni imi ted.

"The purpose was to provide opportunity for girls to compete individually. Since this was our first high school meet, we wanted to place emphasis on the joys of participation and appreciation of the performances of others."

"Any claim this year by any school to a city championship is erroneous,'' added Miss Helen Jo Miller, director of girls physical education at Lincoln High. "Too many factors have to be evaluated before a 'champion' could be determined.' 9

Anyone taking a peek at a study ha 11 seldom views a stimulating study session. Take a look around. A few heads are bowed in slumber; some, more ambitious, carve and scribble on the arm res ts and the backs of the seats ahead.

Some write notes to friends to pass the ti me of what seems to be the 1onges t sixty minutes of the day. This is hardly a stimulating atmosphere for the few who try to use the time structively.

Time allotted for studying should be used to that end, or else what is the use of having study hall? The majority of students accomplish next to nothing and have 1 ittle chance of learning in study hall.

These many hours of wasted ti me are senseless and al so harmful to the appearance of the Lincoln High Auditorium. Perhaps the elimination of study hal 1 is the answer.

If home room were to be alternated with physical education, driver education, health education, assistantships, music appreciation, or art appreciation, then study hall could be feasibly replaced.

Something should not only be said but also be done to end this waste of ti me in "study" ha 11 •

Don't Belittle--Be Big

The Lincoln High School students who were recently elected to fa ti on al Honor Society may well tak& pride in their selection to such a distinguished organization. Such recognition means that those so honored are above average not only in academic accomplishments but al so in acti vi ti es that serve the school.

Yes, this honor may be taken with pride, but--it should also be taken with humility. Egotistic, indeed, would bethe individual who gives credit only to himself for the special talents with which he was born and o ve r wh i ch h e h as no co nt r o1 • On l y the pseudo-intellectual would claim that his achievements were solely of his own doing. If this werethecase, everyone would ch<. ..1se to be a scholar so that the alluring prospects of weal th, respect, and future glory would be his.

But what of the others who were not to attain this honor? How about t ho s e wh o we re " n ea r mi s s es "? :io w about those not sufficiently endowed to ever hope for such distinction?Do they count in the plan of the future?

Yes, they do! There is a place in the world for everyone who utilizes his capacities and talents to the fullest extent and does his appointed job with integrity and dignity.

Everyone is important. The world needs skilled artisans as well as trained scientists. Chaotic would be the society in which brain power al one was the motivating force.

To those who were honored by se1 ection to National Honor Society we say, "Congratulations. Keep up the good work, fully aware of the responsibilities placed upon you."

To those not so honored we say, "Keep up the good work but al ways with the aim of doing better. You also are needed to perform the important tasks delegated to you and to keep society in proper balance." ·

Teenagers Begin ]ob Hunting Season

The coming of spring heralds the beginning of another hunting season--job hunting. If you haven't already begun your search, April is the month for it.

For the many young people new on the job market, this will be their first experience in finding a job and it may be a nightmare. However, if you follow a few simple rules it may be a pleasant experience.

HUNTING RULES

Rules for job hunters:

( 1) Ask yourself if you really want to work and why. Many teenagers expect to start at the top without having to work for it. These people are looking foraposition, not a job.

(2)Keep your eyes open. Read the want-ad section of your newspaper. Ask friends or people who might know of job possibilities.

(3)Make the rounds. Go to personnel offices and fill out all the forms. Don't be afraid to inquire any place you think might have the job that is right for you.

(4)Don' t let making money come first. In working part time the main objective should be to gain experience. You might work at a resort, be a camp counselor, or do anything that strikes you as interesting. In some cases the amount earned won't be large, but the experience gained wi 11 b e i n val u ab 1 e i n you r 1 ater life.

(5)8epositive. You are trying to sell yourself. Don't be afraid to tell your qualifications.

(6) Be prepared. So you' ve finally landed that special interview. Know why you want the job, and how much you expect tobepaid. Most important, because inevitably you will be asked, have names, addresses, and telephone numof all references with you.

References do not usually include relatives. A reference might be a previous employer , your guidance counselor, a teacher, a close neighbor, or your clergyman, but al ways ask their pennission before using their name.

(7)Be persistant. non' t let one refusal make you a quitter Keep looking. A few days after an interview you might drop the interviewer a card , thanking him for the interview ana carefully restating your strong points.

(8)Go job hunting alone. No employer is going to give you a second glance if you drag along your boy friend or girl friend, a whole group, or worst of all, your parents. They want someone independent enough to face an interview alone.

(9)Dress conservatively.The best way to face an interview is knowing you' rewell- groomed and immaculately clean. Then you can stop worrying about your looks ana re1ax Proper attire would be a school dress or suit for girls, and slacks and a shirt for a boy Some boys might prefer a suit, but it's not necessary

(lO)Use your imagination. The popular jobs are usually the first taken If you have a special talent or there is a service that only you can do, capitalize on it. Start your own business on a small scale, and build it into something bigger.

(ll)Apply with an agency. You may choose to do this raththan to look around on your own Agencies can line up jobs for you, sometimes for a small fee, as in the professional agencies, or there are some especially for teenagers that have no fee In Lincoln, the Youth Employment Service is active.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of YES in Lincoln. The organization is sponsored by Sertoma and it is entirely non-profit. The service locates jobs for about 399 young people each summer. Any person from the ages of 14-18 is eligible to sign up The office, located in the Comhlunity Service Center, is open from 3:30-5:30 p.m. on week days and from8:30 a m -12:30 p.m. on Saturdays.

When applying with the service the applicant fills out a short form, after which he is interviewed The interview actually is a questioning on what he enjoys doing, and what he would like to do after he finishes his education When a job that corresponds to the applicant's qualifications is available he is called. Th e n he must submit to a regular interview by his perspectiveemployer. Application with YES does not assure you of getting a job, but it makes finding one easier.

YES finds all types of jobs. There are permanent babysitting jobs or cleaning jobs for girls. Lawn work, delivery, or grocery store work for boys It can find clerking jobs for you , or just about anything that interests you.

Lavona Reeves, director of YES and a former Link, stresses consistency and dependability when looking for a job Her advice is "before applying, evaluate yourself and find out if you really want to work and why. A person can always find work , but it may be difficul t to find a position."

Summer work is available under the Neighborhood Youth Corps program. Applications are available from your counselor, and are being accepted now.

Now you have the rules-Happy Hunting!

Essayists Place In State Contest

Two students from Lincoln High have taken places at the state level in the Ability Counts Contest sponsored by the Nebraska Governor's Committee in cooperation with the President's Committee, for Employment of the Handicapped.

Patricia Tisdale, senior, who placed second will receive a $200 scholarship; Jon Camp senior, who placed fourth will receive $50.

Our first Thumbnailer, Joyce Greenholtz, more commonly known as "Greeny ," must lead a dangerous life. She feels if she could be any kind of animal, she would be a cat because it has nine lives.

She considers the "Senior Class gettable, and especially enjoys the people who are sincere , considerate and goodnatu red."

Joyce's future plans include enrolling in the University of Nebraska. She hopes some: day to teach retarded children.

*

Being a rnem ber the "Am en Corn er" in his favorite cl ass, and having the opportunity to express himself at the senior assembly count as highlights in Fred Schrekinger's senior year. This may be one reason he considers the Senior Class this year "extraordinary."

An albino aardvark would be the kind of animal Fred would enjoy becoming because besides the uniqueness, he would be the first word in the dictionary.

Although his immediate future plan is to graduate, his long-range goal is to attend the University of Kansas next year to major in either pre-law or pre-social work.

"Fun-loving" is how Sue CUdly describes the Senior Class this year. She believes friendliness and a sense of humor are the most important assets a person can have.

Economics class is the most fun for sue , because it gives her an opportunity to try to guess the answers to Mr. Grosscup' s "Would you believe?" questions.

In sue' s mind, a bird is the best kind of animal to be because it eats more in relation to its size than do most people.

Sue, who plans to work this summer , is looking forward to attending the University of Nebraska.

* * *

Bob Hinman thinks that al though this Senior Class is •dupredictable," most of the members are sincere, friendly and "really decent '"'

He feels that participating in sports especially tennis and intramural basketball is what he enjoys doing most at Lincoln High. If he could be any animal he would become a wolverine because it shows all the "skill and courage the senior men show when they play football with the senior girls."

Bob will be working on a construct ion crew this summer and attend the University of Nebraska next fall

Spring has sprung , and trying to find a way to combine studying and spring pleasure are Thumbnailers, Bob Hinman, Sue Cudly, Fred Schrekinger, and Joyce Greenholtz.

Gloe

Lance Gloe, who has lettered twice in golf, likes the sport "because the individual plays a key role in the success of a team." He is presently in the Engineering Curriculum and plans to attend the University of Nebraska to study a rchi tectural or civil engineering.

Participation in sports has taught him that" i_t is up to the individual whether or not he wants to be outstanding or another competitor."

In his free time Lance enjoys eating, whacking golf balls for Mr. Harry Kuklin, and girl watching. Persons from other schools who knock Lincoln High heads his list of pet peeves.

As a sophomore, Lance shot an 88 in the state tournament which to him was quite embarrassing because he felt he could have done somewhat better; however, in his junior year he shot a 74 at state, madetheall-city golf team, and won the Jaycee Golf Tournament during the summer!

To all underclassmen Lance says , "Make your years at Lincoln High the mo st successful, because there will be no others like them.''

Next fall he plans to enter the University of Nebraska.

Expert Speaks on Theater Costuming Thumbnails

' · • Mrs. Eileen castellani, Links Board Combines Efforts graduate student and costume designer for the university For Memorable '67 Yearbook of Nebraska Drama Department,

spoke recently to students in Mrs. Maxine Faust' s drama classes.

One speaker in a series of lectures on technical theater, Mrs. Castellani explained the importance of good costuming.

"Cos turning is a vital aspect of theater. The costume designer works closely with the scenic designer to create the mood of any play."

As a highlight of the talk, Mrs. Castellani described co st um es modeled by dram a cl ass members Arletta Haught, Lynna Gene Hill, Lavonne Hudson, and Dana Pao re.

The stud en ts had previously gone to the university wardrobe department, where they were penni tted to select, for modeling, costumes which represented different style periods.

Costuming Requireslngenuity, Talent; Girls' Research Assures Authenticity

The most memorable experience for Fred Schmidt, editor-inchief of the Links was, "being elected president of National Honor Society-because I was chosen by the persons I respect the most."

He feels Lincoln High does well in preparing students for life. He says, "The opportunHy is here. If a isn't well prepared when he graduates, it' s !his fault."

Fred feels his three years-of high school have made him more open-minded about other person' s beliefs, their likes and dislikes.

He hopes to major in philosophy at the University of Nebraska and later study theology, along with serving with VISTA.

"\\brking on Links Board as senior editor takes a lot of perserverance," says Valdeen Snith, "but I believe it has made me a more responsible person."

She advises students, "Make the most of all your classes and activities even if they may seem a drag, because when you' re a senior, there's no time left!"

Valdeen would like to see ''more emphasis on homemaking; this is what most girls will eventually do and few know enough about."

Valdeen concludes, "LHS offers ample opportunities in preparation for the future for those who care enough to take advantage of them."

Editorial Comment

Brevity

A point can be put across most effectively with a brief statement. In writing there is no relationi p between 1ength and qua 1 i ty. Brevity is defined as "the quality of being brief; the quality of being concise; terseness." The three essential qualities of a good editorial are interest, force and brevity. Some editorials fall short of all three qua1 ifications. This one fails in only two.

The Advocate is issued without cost to every Lincoln High student. Advertising rates are $1 per column inch.

Second-class postage is paid at Lincoln, Nebraska.

Chip Maly, sports editor of the Links says he "learned to better understand different kinds of people and discovered how much help they really can be when you need it," while at LHS.

His most memorable experiences include "being Fred's assistant on Links Board and his vice-president in National Honor Society,"Chip recalls about his three years: "As a sophomore. you dread the drag of high school; as a junior you realize it's almost over; and in yciqr senior year, you wonder where it all went!"

Sandy Harmon, Lincoln High senior, recently became the first girl at Lincoln High School, this year, to pass the 140-word-per-minute Official Gregg Speed Dictation Test.

After successfully completing three such tests, Mrs. Luella Van Vleck, business education teacher, says, "Sandy is very consistent and has a speed reserve which is much greater than is required. I'm sure this consistency was not accidental."

The test consisted of taking shorthand at 140-wordsper-minute for five minutes, and then, successfully transcribing it to the typewriter, all with 95 per cent accuracy or better.

There were other such tests at varying speeds, such as

Top Student Named In Business Field

Diana Messman, a senior in the business curriculum, has been named as the outstanding business student at Lincoln High by the Lincoln Chapter oftheAMS, Administrative Management Society, a group of businessmen.

Bu s i n e s s DI ANA teachers selected Diana because of her ability in the stenographic field.

Diana will attend the University of Nebraska Teachers College. She plans eventually to teach business courses at the high school level.

Variety of Occupations

Attending law school seems to signify but one career to most people, that of a court I awyer. According to Mr. Douglas Marti, of Marti, O'Gara, Dalton, and Bruckner law firm, "Law covers a very wide field and a broad scope of different occupations. Today, anyone can find a particular area in law to interest him. Pt

Mr. Marti estimates that about only one-third of the students graduating from law school actually practice 1 aw, as a lawyer, or judge. For those planning to go in to businessmanagement, banking, or the selling of secu ri ti es, it provides a knowledgeable background.

At the University of Nebraska Law School, which Mr. Marti attended and which he believes to be excellent, the requirements cover four years of pre- I aw (mi ch is a bachelor' s degree in a selection of fields) and three years of law.

"Today, it is usually more profitable to join a law firm than to pract:i,ce by oneself," says Mr. MartL/' Statistics show that a 1 awYer belonging to a firm will make $5 to $10 thousand more net income than a lawYer operating on his own.

"When you belong to a law firm each member specializes in the one certain area in which he is the most proficient."

One specializing in corporate work would negotiate between the corporation and its clients, plan pensions for employees, cover all tax problems, and negotiate between management and 1 abor.

Estate planning is another area in which you could specialize; this consists of

drafting wills and setting up trusts for large estates.

If you were representing an insurance company, you might have to defend'policy holders in their claims,

To become a trial lawyer, one should enjoy competition. Mr. Marti believes that there is a great deal of tion in preparing a case and trying to prove it in court. "But if you should become a trial lawyer you need to remember that 50 per cent of all lawyers will lose their cases, because, naturally one wins, and one loses.

"Often you wi 11 lose the case you felt you really should have won, and win cases in which you di dn' t think you had a chance."

Threatening phone calls, angry clients, and having a hearse arrive at the door, do happen, al though rarely. Discounting these trivial annoyances, Mr. Marti firmly believes, "the field of law is really interesting, you work with, against, and for all kinds of people, and in ever:y situation you can ine ."

Link Scientists Build Atom Smasher

A Particle-Accelerator, otherwise known as an Atom Smasher, is a project begun in the physics classroom by Clark Gillaspie and Tom Hendricks about a year and a half ago. This demonstration apparatus was set up for future experimental use in the Physics Department.

There are two parts to the Particle-Accelerator: the main and mo st versatile is the Vacuum system. With the use of a Mercury Diffusion Pump, it can achi eve a pr essure of . 1 micron ( equi va1 ent to one-8 millionth of normal atmospheric pressure.)

In the second part of the apparatus, the energy to accelerate the particles is acquired from a Van de Graaff generator. These particles then pass through a deflection chamber and finally into a cloud chamber where atomic collisions can be observed.

A banquet, sponsored by the Nebraska Academy of Sciences, recently honored seven high school students throughout the state for their achievements in the field of science. Tom and Clark were the only

Lincoln students recognized for this honor.

The "Gillaspie-Hendricks" project was on exhibition in the Nebraska Junior Academy of Sciences Science held at University High School recently.

The boys presented a detailed paper at the Science Fair which explained how the project operates. Thispaper, which had been submitted to

the Westinghouse Science Talent Search, won for the boys certificates of honorable mention.

Persons aiding in the long experiment were Mr. Robert Fisher, LHS physics teacher and sponsor of the project , and Mr.Lloyd Moore, scientific glass blower at the University of Nebraska, who formed the glass parts of the apparatus.

Future Nurses Club Renamed, Revised

Symbolic Emblem

Selected by Club

Lincoln High' s Future Nurses will have a ''new look," next fall. Members of the club have drawn anew constitution and selected a new name- -Caduceus.

Why the Caduceus'? The caduceus symbol represents al 1 branches and fields of medicine, therefore, membership will be less restrictive than before. Previous membership involved those students interested only in nursing and thus attracted mostly girls, al though the club did have one male member this year.

Talking over new changes for the Caduceus Club are officers (from left) Lori Bartzatt, Sue Harshbarger, Kathy Oldenburg, and Verleen Quig.

Caduceus Staff of Mythical Origin

The caduceus staff is considered a symbol and attribute of the Greek god Hermes and the Roman god Mercury. It is generally represented by a rod having two serpents twined around it in opposite directions, their heads confronting each other. The staff is adorned with a pair of wings, symbolic of Mere u ry, ab o v e th e s e rp en t s' h eatls.

It is said in Greek mythology that Hermes, son of

Zeus, discovered two serpents fighting and thrust his rod between them. The serpents wound themselves around the wand in peaceful union. The caduceus was thus a sign of the settlement of quarrels.

UNLIMITED POWERS

But the staff held yet greater powers. With this magic wand, Hermes became a benefactor of mankind protecting their flocks. With it he could plunge the Greeks into deep slumber, kill the mortal, or waken the dead.

Roman mythology attributes the caduceus staff to the Roman god Mercury. He used this staff to drive the souls of the dead into the lower world. Mercury al so could control the living or turn anything into gold. The caduceus was thus reputed to be a sacred rod having power over wealth, prosperity, and dreams.

PHYSICIANS' SYMBOL

The caduceus was also impressedon many ancient coins carried by Hercules, Hippocrates, and other Greek an.ct Roman philosophers, physicians, and hero es. Greek physicians adopted the caduceus as their symbol.

The United States Armed Service Medical Corps has now adopted the caduceus as a symbol of its profession. It is used not only in the Armed Services but has become universally recognized as a symbol of the medical profession.

From now on the club will be open to juniors and seniors, both boys and girls interested in any type of medical career.

The Caduceus Club will give students the opportunity to become acquainted with the challenges they will meet in medicine by hearing guest speakers, taking field trips and finding the benefits of group discussion and club projects.

'Those whose future plan for a career is nursing, 1 ab technology, pharmacy, or any field of medicine, are urged by the members of Caduceus Club and the sponsors, Mrs. Audree Massie and Mrs. Viol a Thompson, to investigate the possibilities offered by the club when it begins its new year next fall.

PALMER feels that students should take a more serious attitude toward studying while they have the chance

warren Palmer, who has lettered in ·both football and track, has" learned to keep trying no matter what" through his participation in sports.

Track is his favorite of the two sports because he is "able to meditate with Lynn Dance." Warren' s most memorable and most embarrassing experiences run in sequence in that he was one of the starters in the first football game of the season and was injured in that first game.

His pet peeve is a loud car radio, and his favorite pastimes include athletics, sailing, and weekends.

Warren is in the Engineering curriculum and plans to attend the University of Nebraska to study architecture.

Lincoln High Foresees Changes for Next Fall

Returning students and faculty members will find some changes next fall, according to Mr. William Bogar, Lincoln High School pr i ncipal. "These fall into the areas of both program and administrative functions."

Classes will begin at 8: 45; student groups convene at one of 70 designated rooms. Here will be held a five-minute briefing periods each morning at which time announcements will be made, assembly assignments will be issued , and attendance will be taken. The classes will be assigned by grade level. After this , students pass to period l.

The taking of attendance, a regular procedure, will have a new twist as teachers will submit IBM cards previously made for each student. These cards will be taken to the Public Schools Administration Building where machines will compute the data and an absence list will automatically be produced in a matter of minutes.

students will sit with their Triple A (announcements, assemblies, and attendance) period at assemblies. On assembly schedule, each remaining morning class will run 35 minutes

"Home room wi 11 not be required next· year but will be given to those who have registered for it," says Mr. Bogar.

A TV studio, planned for Room 120, will be under the direction of Mr. John Bruce, electricity and math teacher. The main purpose of the room will be for video tape recorder demonstrations.

Certificated employees will be reduced in number from 100 to 95, Mr. Bpgar said, "This will have only minor effects, because the expected enrollment is 2,044 pupils for the 1967-68 school year, compared to 2, 039 pupils for the 1966-67 year; classes will be just a little larger."

-From the desk th• principal-

1n September of 1964 I met the members of this year's graduating cl ass for the first time. In comments to this class, I pointed out responsibilities which they would need to meet if they were to become the young adults which they and their parents wished them to become and which our country needs 1 pointed out the need to form those habits of careful daily concern for work and for others which would give lssting satisfuction.

There is a real need for each of us to realize that every person has great V? 1 ue, thf!.t we get our greatest satr sfaction from 1 i ving th others, and that we find the best solutions to our problems by working together. These three years have given the members of the Cl ass of 1967 many of these opportunities.

\1e are concerned ubout the m'\ny problems which will need to be faced within the next ten Jears. These include entering the world of work, dering heavy responsibilities as citizens, estab1 ishing homes, finding creative 8Ctivities reinforcing a. spiritual center 1n our lives, cultural and and seeing our own importance as an 1nd1v1dual. rn a larae society. times 1 ife will become discouraging and distressing. fowever, if we live more for others than ourselves, we wil 1 find our own I ives enriched.

His most memora ble experiences at LHS came when, as a member of the swim team, he won the All-American State High School Diving Championship.

Dramatically and musically inclined Jim Ogden has had a chance to use his talents at Lincoln High by appearing in a leading role in the Opera, singing in the Boys Octet, and acting in two all-school plays.

She feels her high school years have been quite a "di ff erent experience , " especially the unusual unity and cooperation of the senior class.

* * Advocate staff writer Susie Brice says she enjoyed most about Lincoln High "the days I was here!" The word she regret fully feels describes her three years at LHS is "make-up." (Work, of course.)

Especially enjoying all Lincoln High sports, Berta served as a Varsity Cheer1 eader and was a finalist for Homecoming Queen.

* Sandy Sattler feels that she has 1 earned one very important thing at Lincoln High and urges every girl to learn the same, the definition (in sport's terms) of a " rhubarb."

One special asset of Lincoln High which Sandy will always appreciate is the fine faculty. She considers it the greatest strength in the chain of education, and feels that one can truly appreciate the finer things at Lincoln High working with such a faculty.

* Eileen Sommerhauser , thirdp age editor has kept herself very busy in high school by participating in the Aeolian Choir , Student Council, Mummers. and serving as president of the Pep Club, and president of Traffic Safety Council.

Staff 'Members To 'Graduate' with Class of 1967

"Parting is such sweet sorrow" appears to be the theme this semester for the 17 members of the LHS staff who are leaving.

Although those leaving are going for various and sundry reasons; most will teach at the new East High School.

* * *

"Lincoln High is endowed with a fine tradition and record. I would hope that both students and faculty willcontinue to BUILD on this and not merely live on it," states Mr. Eldon Heskett, assistant principal.

Mr. Heskett, who will join the staff of the University of Nebraska next year. has had much experience with teenagers. He served as a teacher, a principal, and as a guidance counselor at one time or another in schools throughout Nebraska. He feels today's students are more mature, have had more educational opportunities presented to them and have also defined their goals more realistically.

Mr. Harry Kuklin will Tepl ace Mr. Heskett, assistant principal. in charge of instruction.

* * *

Mrs. Luella Van Vleck, business education instructor, doubts that her loyalty to LHS will ever change even though she is 1 eaving to teach at East Educational Complex, this fall.

Mrs. Van Vleck has taught at Lincoln High for five years and during this time sponsored Pep Club Cheerleaders, and helped with Student Council.

Her comment about students is, "It's amazing how they keep you young even while they make you feel you' re growing older."

* * *

Mrs. Patricia Winkler, math instructor, plans to marry this summer and teach in Grand Island next fall. During her

four years at LHS she has sponsored two clubs, Future Teachers of America and Math Club.

"Lincoln High has been a perfectly delightful place in which to teach and I will miss it all, " she says.

* * *

Mrs. Susie Merwick, English, speech, and debate instructor, advises students to '"honestly give themselves a chance Do not underrate yourself and give up. No matter what your grades are or how unsuccessful you have been--if you have made an honest and sincere attempt then you can be assured of the most important thing any person can possess--selfrespect!,.

Mrs. Merwick is leaving to teach part time at the university and spend more time with her family. During her four years at Lincoln High, she sponsored debate.

"I have had four rewarding educational years in this school for which I thank the administration and faculty but mostly the students. I deeply regret that what it has taken four years to build in debate , will now be cancel led out. But I hope that at some future date the values of debate will become apparent and Lincoln High will find reason to once more add it to the classes offered.''

* * *

Mrs. Nancy Diekmann, English teacher, will be teaching this subject in Humboldt, Nebraska, in the school where her husband will be head basketball coach this fall.

Mrs. Diekmann advises students to "al ways do your best and never be satisfied with mediocre work."

During this year, her first in teaching, she sponsored Peppers and Usherettes.

As an additional comment, Mrs. Diekmann says, " Remember Fridays aren't welcome UNLY by- the students ! "

"Swimming, fishing, weightlifting and watching Mr. Story and 'Cannonball' Ripley run relays at the oval" rate as Mr. Robert Eyth' s favorite pastimes. Next year he plans to teach English and speech at East High and serve as assistant football and track coach. After completing his coaching career, he would like to become a high school athletic director.

In his five years at LHS, Mr. Eyth has taught physical education, speech, and Eng1 ish, has sponsored sophomore football, has been director of the body-conditioning program, and assistant Varsity track coach.

"I love my work. It would be 'a pain' to get up on a dark winter morning and head for work if you di dn' t look forward to what the day would bring."

Mrs. Shirley Martin has been an art instructor at LBS for 11 years. During this time she has sponsored Art Club. She is leaving to teach art at East .High.

"I hate to leave LHS," she confesses. "I know I'll like my new job, but I'd like to take my juniors, sophomores, and faculty friends with me. "

"The high school students of today, compared to those of ten years ago, are more mature and possess a greater, over-all knowledge."

This is the op1mon of Mr. Tom Crockett, mechanical and architectural drafting teacher. Mr. Crockett spent 11 years as a teacher at Whittier Junior High, and one year at Lincoln High. He is leaving to become coordinator of Instructional Materials at East High.

As a farewell message, Mr. Crockett says, "I have enjoyed - this year at LHS and want to extend my sincere thank you to the student body and faculty for making it such a pleasant one."

* * *

French and Spanish have been the subjects Mrs. Jo Rene Wilken has taught during her three years at LHS. In her first year she was an AFS sponsor and the past two years she has co-sponsored International Club. Next year, at East High School, she will teach French.

Mrs. Wilken offers th is advice to high school students: "High school and the teen years are very important to the formation of personality. Explore and ask questions about yourself, become an individual. Most important to any high school student is self-discipline. Work hard while in class and while studying-then, completely involve yourself when relaxing and enjoying other activities."

* * *

Mrs. Edythe Cascini, faculty librarian, is leaving Lincoln High to become Northeast High' s librarian.

She has been at Lincoln High for four years and previously worked in South Dakota, Colorado, New York, and Waverly, Nebraska.

Asked what she has gained by working at LHS, Mrs. Cascini commented, "five pounds!"

* * *

East High School will be gaining another Lincoln High teacher next year, Mrs. Joyce Lundstrom, who will be teaching English and Spanish at the new school.

Mrs. Lundstrom, who has taught English and co- sponsored Scribe during her year here, has taught English and Spanish in Park Forest, Illinois, and Birmingham, Michigan.

She suggests the following to high school students in general "Ask questions and challenge ideas. Develop an attitude which seeks to make information meaningful to your life. Do not justaccept the status quo; try to understand and find your role."

Miss Jen kins Concludes 34 Years of Service

"Enjoy being teenagers; you' 11 never know so much again in your entire lives. Remember the society which you would remake is the one in which you will live and have to justify to the next wave of teenagers. So my advice is help build the kind of 'house' in which you could happily spend the rest of your life."

This is the recommendation of Miss Florence Jenkins, who has taught a total of 34 years at Lincoln High School. During these years she has taught some English, various history courses and modern problems, and psychology.

Clef Club (tto longer an activity), Forum, Student Council, and Future Teachers

of America are the clubs she has sponsored. In addition to these sponsorships, she has been president of Lincoln Educational Association, president of District 1 Nebraska State Educational Association, a member of the State Executive Committee of NSEA, president of the State History Teachers Association, has served on numerous curriculum committees, and has headed the Social Studies department for the past few years.

Prior to her teaching career at LHS, she taught two years in a rural school, one year in a Lushton grade school, two years at Silver Creek High School, and five years at Jackson High in University Place.

According to Miss Jenkins, "Besides earning a living by teaching, I have gained an opportunity to develop insights into human behavior and to expand my own horizons through adherence to a rugged teaching schedule throughout the years."

She hopes to travel (hunt for golden eggs), do a little painting, a lot of reading, some sewing, and perhaps donate some service to the mental hospital.

In the immediate future she will be on the National Defense Education Act staff at Kearney State College for two weeks.

In parting, Miss Jenkins advises, "Keep a sense of proportion. Remember, no one

group is made up of all 'bad guys' or all 'good guys.' No one group has a priority on perfection."

MRS. FAUST MR. MALLATT

Maintenance Head Moves to East High

Mr. Don Flannigan, building superintendent, will be transferred to East Hi.gh next year after 14 years of service at Lincoln High.

Mr. Flannigan, who has been in the Lincoln school system for 25 years and is a graduate of Lincoln High, says he's "been trying to get out since '39."

"There's a pretty good bunch of kids here," commented Mr. Flannigan, who says he oys working with, and giving the students a ''hard time."

Commenting that "every day has some notable experience," he said that his work entails mostly "usual, routine jobs."

Mr. Flannigan summed up his new job as the "same job --different building with different headaches."

He stated that the new East High Complex has a larger square footage than Lincoln High, but will have about one-half as many students next year.

Osborn To Study Graphic Arts

Mr. Wayne Osborn, printing teacher, has been selected to attend the NDEA Institute this summer to study all phases of graphic arts. The school is located at the University of Minnesota.

We Shall Not Pass This Way Again

I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Tu:o roads diverged in a 11XJod, and I-I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Rnbert Frost

When we gaze down the halls of Lincoln High for the final time as students, we share the emotions of each youth who must take' his turn to say goodbye to high school.

We each have come a long way but still have far to go. We have been ardent Links for three exciting years filled with homework, activities, accomplishment, and fun. Most of us can, for the first time, now realize the importance of all the happenings that shaped our young personalities.

The advice we heard three short years ago, "Take advantage of high school years before they' re gone," rings in our ears. Now we are the ones who are looking back.

After careful deliberation, each of us chose to attend Lincoln High. This decision had a significant influence in founding the future ahead. Our individual attitudes changed and developed with the lessons we learned from life at LHS.

EARLY TRANSITION

The impressive four stories of our chosen school left us baffled the first days as sophomores. The girls weren't warned at the Sophomore Tea that a "confused" computermight;plaYtricks with their carefully planned schedules. Stubborn lockers and" unmaneu verabl e" driver education simulators were other early hurdles. The fiveminute recess between classes was much too short, especially since we had difficulty seeing room numbers over the heads of taller upperclassmen.

By leaps and bounds we became increasingly oriented to our high-school home. Our confusion was replaced with a feeling of belonging. our schedules were soon straightened out, and we, too, were finding time between classes to comb our hair or talk to friends. More familiar faces greeted us each day and lasting friendships were taking root.

As the boys began going out for sports and the girls in GAA, they discovered muscles they never knew they had. The many hours of practice were rewarded with earned letters and the satisfaction of knowing each did his best to honor the name of the Links.

We soon discovered Lincoln High offered plentiful opportunities to students who wanted activity. Many contributed time and effort in student government, clubs, committees, debate, musical groups, publications, and other extracurricular activities.

Others participated in annual dramatic productions such as the all-school play, Mummers play, the Opera, and Joy Night. The curtains of the Lincoln High Audi tori um opened many times to present exceptionally excellent performances.

Assemblies, begun with the traditional "Call to Colors," pep rallies where 2000 fellow Links vied for class competition points, anticipated vacations, and spirited train trips provided sparks of variety between academic endeavors.

The many sports events provided proud moments for being a Link in the almost century-long LHS chain. Enthusiastic Cheerleaders, pep club, L-men, and fans supported their teams in action.

Link athletes, led by dedicated coaches, met with top competitors and displayed their best in both glory and in disappointment.

With our growing number of friends came the privilege of becoming aquainted with foreign exchange students who broadened our knowledge of distant countries and cultures.

SENIOR YEAR--THE BIG ONE

Finally our anticipated senior year arrived. Now we were the students who knew our way around. Peppers donned their outfits and senior men inherited the right to the bench in front of the cafeteria.

High school social life would have been incomplete for many had not Kick-Off Dances, Homecoming Dances, Junior-Senior Proms, Sweetheart Ball, Keen-times, and Hi-Spots highlighted special weekends.

Our athletes found their place in state standings. Senior Varsity football completed a winning season rated eighth in state; gymnasts were awarded second in state; Link swimmers chalked up a third in state. Our golf team won the state championship. Another year of trophies was added to the Johnson Gym corridor.

Traditionally fine faculty and administration directed student leaders to achievement as the class of &67 received recognition in such areas as four Merit winners and eight Regents fouryear 'winners.

Senior activities such as the All-Sports Banquet, Color Day, Sign-Out Party, Baccal!aureate, and Commencement concluded our high school venture. Graduation is not .only the last time the Class of '67 will be together, but it is also the finale to still another phase of our education and the threshold to decisions for future goals.

We will remember other events at LHS too. the Christmas tree in the state's finest Lounge, Octets caroling in the halls, "chilly" Room 129, "studyH halls, Type-A "lunches," cookie week, the bridge painted "blushing" pink, Centennial Nebraska day, daily sound announcements, or the ever familiar "job well done. "

It is difficult to say goodbye to three years at our school, and even a student who longingly awaited graduation may find a lump in his throat when his turn comes to realize this segment of time in his youth is gone.

We may regret that our high school days are past, but we each move toward a new scope of challenges and responsibilities in our individual destinations and the futures for which we have been preparing.

We were proud to give our energies and support to Lincoln High, and in return received fine education, friends, and many lasting memories,

As we turn the final page of our unforgettable three years, loyalty for our alma mater will continue to grow because we will always be "sons of the black and red'' and "we couldn't be prouder!"

Bliss in possession will not last; Remembered joys are never past; At once the fountain, stream, and sea, They were, they are, they yet shall be.

Keentime

As Council Plans

Keentime lllub, originally called Hub-Club, was organized 10 years ago to provide dances for high school students.

Each dance draws an average attendance of 1200 Keen timers. Keentimes are usually held at Pershing Auditorium since Antelope Pavilion was outgrown. Several summer poolparties are held at Woods Pool.

Made up of about 12 students from each.high school and Mrs. William Larson, Keentime Council meets each month to discuss improvements and to choose combos for upcoming ·dances.

Council members distribute membership cards within their own schools, handle publicity and decorations, and are responsible for hosting a dance once a month.

Council members assist with other projects, such as paintthe 12th and F Recreation center, on the site of a former fire station. The Council sponsors a Datesetter Dance each fall at which time the DatesetterKing and Queen are announced.

Council members help with occasional fund-raising projects, and assist at a summer camp for the retarded. They visit youth at the State Hospital each month and give Thanksgiving and Christmas gifts to needy families.

Students who are interested in working on the Council may obtain an application from a present member.

Juniors Selected

To Boy's State

Five junior boys were recently selected to attend the annual Boy's State sponsored by Elks Lodge No. 80.

There boys and their sponsors are Glen Hergenrader, Lincoln High "L" Club; Bob Orta, Knife and Fork Club; Dan Dermeyer, 40 and 8; John Madison, Hiram Club; Dave Lebsack, Lions Club.

The purpose of Boys' State is to give young men a chance to study Nebraska government.

AFS'ers, Angie, Jim, Bid Reluctant Farewells

Only a few days remain in this school year, but the memories exciting moments, and friendships made at LHS, and the United states will always remain with AFS students, Angela Moses from Bangalore, In di a, and Jim Soutar from Northern

Both Angie and Jim have written a farewell message to the students of Lincoln High School.

* * *

The fact that I have been so very happy here is an indication of my feelings toward the United States. I now feel a very personal sense of friendship toward the American people.

As I have always said, the AFS is a splendid orgir t ion, and I am highly impressed by the fine mar :in which it handles 'such a large number of persons.

India' s educational system, compared to that of the U. b is somewhat different. our school day begins and ends at approximately the same time LHS does, but we have eight classes of 40 minutes each. The teachers move while the students remain stationary. We have 10-minute breaks after every two classes, an hour for lunch, and no "closed campus."

our school year is divided into three terms. The first begins in January and ends in APril followed by a twomonth vacation. The second term, beginning in June, ends in December with a month vacation.

our classes are instructed in English. We are required to take compulsory or "core" subjects such as math, social studies, science, s econd and third languages which, in most cases, is Hindi (India' s official language) and the language of the particular state. We have a free choice of our electives and optional subjects.

Indian food compared to the food in the U.S. is much hotter and spicier, but I have thrived on every morsel of American food I've eaten and I enjoy it.

What I have learned during this one year, I probably wouldn't have learned in 'two years at home. Actually, experiencing the American way of life has given me a wealth of knowledge.

I have little time for hobbies outside of school, but my interests in school have been about the as they were when I was at Baldwins. I belonged to handicrafts, gardening, and cooking clubs.

When I think of returning home, time seems to move very slowly and I can hardly wait to see my real family, but when I think of how much longer until I have to part with my friends, I hate to think of leaving.

This state of mixed emotions can be very frustrating, but I am consoled by the fact that I will definitely visit the U.S. again some day.

I would like to leave this 1 ittl e but very meaningful thought with you- - ''To meet and part is the way of Ii fe, To part and meet is the way of hope!" I have this hope and a great deal of it too!

Miss A.S. Mose$ 15 Richmond Rd. Bangalore- -25 Mysore State, India

It 's funny, yet i t i sn ' t.

It ' s sad, but s ti l l i t 's not.

A mix up of emotions And faces I forgot.

Swirling and twisting

Keep in my mind; Names, feel in gs, tears

That I cannot find.

Now a total nothing;

A blank of rare compare,

A likeness of a something That simply doesn't care.

No senses are affected, The silence is complete. At last, at last; Loneliness, Thou art sweet.

Untouched 1 unheard, unbothered, Solitary, free from strife; For no one here can see me, Of hurt me, or my life.

Tiger Dreams, Truth, and Me

There comes a time

Midst a movement

When all life ceases to be

What it should and becomes

What it is.

The Golden Dream closes its eyes

Andweeps bitter tears of reality,

My impure, ivory ski

Spi Z.Zing into my lap and stinging

My impure 1 ivory skin Into my skein of time

Midst my movement- -

A rumbling bumbling

Dingleddown my open throat

Choking my happiness Into truthfulness; Meaning nothing, Merely existing: Like an "x" factor

In a "y '' colony - -Pau l Baker

I have had many interesting experiences in the U.S., perhaps so many that sometimes they lose a little of their glitter when they came so quickly, one after the other.

Marathon basketball, meeting the Governor, singing in the LHS choir, traveling around, eating pizza, qualifying for state track meet, earning an athletic letter and countless more experiences have filled my seven months here.

Lincoln High is a wonderful school. In discussion with the AFS' ers of the other Lincoln schools, I have discovered that I was very fortunate, indeed, to have come here. The friendship and kindness shown to us "foreigners" by both the faculty snd student, has been most gratifying. There is a wonderful atmosphere at Lincoln High, created not only by the relationship between teacher and student, but also by the spirit of competition in athletics and club activities.

My feelings towards the United States are mixed. On the one hand I have seen so much kindness , and been shown so much hospitality, that I will always 'consider Lincoln, Nebraska as my second home, a place where I - feel relaxed, at ease and happy.

One thing I don't particularly like is the hustling of the Americans, because it often appears that people lose sight of the beauties of life in the midst of their rush to crowd as much living into it as possible. Life in Ireland is much more relaxed and easy-going. People aren't as concerned with money, success, and popularity as they seem to be in America.

What I like most about the AFS is also difficult to say; the whole organization is so excellent. I like especially the spirit of brotherhood it creates. The only thing I dislike about-AFS is its stipulation that I cannot return to the u. s. A. for two years, but perhaps absence will make the heart grow even fonder.

I like so many things about the U. s. A. that it is di fficult for me to say what I like most. Perhaps, it would be that the opportunity to succeed is present if you are willing to expend the effort.

Game of Century Journalism Staffs Will Vie For Volleyball Championship

In order to settle an argument that dates back to almost the beginning of pub1 ication sat Lincoln High School, The Advocate staff will meet members of the Links Board in the "volleyball game of the century."

This display of physical coordination and stamina will take place on the first day of June, nineteen hundred and sixty-seven.

Fred "Flash" Schmidt, originator of the idea, issued the challenge to Advocate staff members on May 8, 1967.

Not more than two seconds after the call was heard it was accepted by Tony " Tiger" Tomandl, Advocate sports editor.

From the Links room comes this cry, "What's the Word?? Clobber Advocate!" In reply, the Advocate staff chants, "We' re out to win you over!"

"The game will be played in Johnson Gym at 3: 30 p. m. Admission will be free, so come watch the 'weak' Links Board battle the st al wart Advocate staff in the first-annualbest-two-out-of -three-volleyball-game.::-of-the-century," urges Tiger Tomandl.

Seniors Face Reality, Views on Future Reflect Fear, Courage

Recently a number of Lincoln High seniors were questioned about their thoughts on the future. They were asked how the future will affect their class, what their main problems will be, how they felt about the country' s situation?

"Individuals of character will rise to the top," says Jenny Fowler. "We' 11 get more opportunities politically and religiously to grow within ourselves and in society as a whole. Deciding what issues we're going to accept and facing r e sponsibilities behind them will be the main prob1 ems we' ll be facing. I don' t JENNY clearly understand why, but I know we must support our country

The best way to prepare for the future according to Gary Smith is, "to get the besteducation possible , and the best start is at Lincoln High.

The biggest problem is deciding what to do after gradHa ti on. I feel the only solution is college for me. College is work, so why not work with the future in mind? The na- GARY tion's situation wil 1 especially affect boys who eventually must serve in the armed forces

"The senior class doesn't seem to be too interested in the country's situation. Those that are interested just talk about what they would like to do " is the opinion of Roger Rife "The future is unknown Some of us don't have a future so I don't know how the future will affect us. The draft will be the boys' main ROGER

problem. Girls must decide whether to continue their education so both decisions will be difficult.

Amy Zimmerman challenges the senior class: "The future may make some, or break some of the members of our class, but it should be our goal to make the world not to break it. Most of us are just beginning to realize the force of the nation's situation, and how we wi 11 be af feet ed, personally. Now gripes and AMY complaints are turning toward thought and wonder as to how we can do our share to help the world.

Sara Luedke believes "that our whole mode of living will have to be changed to keep pace. We may meet a new society while exploring outer space. Overpopulation and under production will bethe major pro bl ems. Most seniors feel that to maintain the United States as a world power it is necessary to give SARA some kind of service to their country."

"The Vietnam war is the une thing which will be affecting the Class of 1967 the most not:ireably." says Carol Johnson."Except for Vietnam

and the draft, which are issues that concern us directly, many seniors a re rather apathetic about the problems facing our nation. When we are old enough CAROL to vote and actually take part in government, I think seniors wi 11 become more serious-minded."

The decline of our civilization is predicted by Don Doolittle. "The increase in chief problems. History has shown that any civilization falls after a certain pl ate au of immorality has been attained. Another problem will be unemployment arising from our capi tali st i c f o rm o f DON government. This is one senior that feels the country's situation is precarious."

MR. PFEIFF

;. s the ath1 eti c and school year draws to a close, several Lincoln High School and Jniversity of 1ebraska football teammates' names come to my mind-- Amen, Schwartzkopf, and English. 0 hy these names? \'! ell, all are former Lincoln School C:ind University of Jebraska students and athletes.

What are they now?

Paul ;,men, president, lat i ona l 3ank of Commerce

Sam Sch wart zkop f , Mayo r o f L i n co 1n

Major General Lowel 1 English, Commanding General, Marine Recruit Depot, San Di ego, California

These men grew up in a "winning" athletic program and contributed te> it, just as hundreds of young men have done and will continue to do it at Lincoln High School. It's simple arithmetic; these men learned the basic fundamentals, much of it on the athletic field.

For examp 1e:

,",dd: \'f e all can add such things as cooperation, understanding and competitiveness. Bank president must compete and cooperate in the cold-blooded business of finance. Mayor Schwartzkopf will need to understand, cooperate, and be fair • ,!o need to say how important the competitiveness of neneral English must be. In his entire distinguished career in 1orld '; /ar !!, Korea, and Vietnam, he has to aim for victory.

Subtract: These men each found in athletics that once the score was put on the scoreboard, the g am e was o v e r. So g r i pe s at o ff i c i al s , ex cu s es , fears, a.11 must be subtracted. General English has completely subtracted fear from his phi lo sop h y an d he mu st see that young U S. r i nes have no fear, or have fear under control.

Bu rd en s an d gr i pes o f a po 1 i t i ca 1 camp a i g n must be removed and Mayor Schwartzkopf must represent all of Lincoln and its people.

Mu 1t i p 1 y : }, l l these men mu st mu 1t i p 1y many th i ng s. Bank president Amen must multiply business; Mayor Schwartzkopf must multiply enthusiasm for development and expansion of Lincoln; Major General English must multiply inspiration, loyalty, and mental and physical toughness in our youth.

Divide: P. 11 of us must divide our lifetime among such basics as our work, play or recreation, fa.mil y, and vJOrship. Certainly Schwartzkopf, and English must be and continue to be in balance so that all those dependent upon their 1eadershi p wi 11 be given their opportunities in the rugged game of 1 ife.

Current Lincoln 6thletes are being exposed to a "real 1 ife laboratory" in which training for the future is important.

Certainly, bank president Mayor Schwartzkopf and General English al 1 are evidence of the fact that because boys seek victory, they may become better men. Who knows, maybe more bank presidents, mayors, and even generals might be competing for Lincoln 1 ligh School.
