This year's American Field Service students at Lincoln High School are Dardo Schopf of Uraguay, and Christian Bigler of Switzerland.
Leaving Uraguay August 23, Dardo arrived in Lincoln August 28, to spend this school year with the family of Dennis Kumm,a senior at Lincoln High.
Dardo comes from Minas Lavallej a, Uraguay, a moderate-sized town with a population of about 70,000. He and his 14-year-old sister, Mary, live with their parents about two blocks from the central square
HOPESTO SEE SNOW
Living in South America all of his life, Dardo has never seen snow and is anxiously awaiting the appeara11ee of the first flakes. One can only hope the unpredictable Nebraska weather will co-operate!
In Uraguay , D~rdo attended the Department High School of Lavallej a "My former school is smaller than Lincoln High and everyone knows each other well. Attending Lincoln High is like living in a large city," he commented.
Classes are scheduledfrom March to October and, since Dardo left in August, the middle of the school year, he will have to complete his final year there before he is able to graduate
SOCCERAT LINCOLNHIGH ?
"School sports in Uraguay are a little different from those in America, "Dardo notes somewhat regretfully. Soccer is the main sport; basketball and volleyball are two others which are also played.
Concerning sports and especially soccer, he commented, "When I arrived in Lincoln I was given a physical and told that I could participate in a sport if I wanted to. I haven't yet d e cided if I will. You have no soccer team here but Chris , the AFS student from Switzerland , and I are working on it!"
The biggest adjustment to American life that Dardo has had to make has been to the irregularity (at least to him) of the eating hours. He
is accustomed to breakfasting at the same time as we do , but usually has only a cup of coffee. nour big meal , similar to your dinner, is eaten at noon, and later we have afternoon tea
ON TO COLLEGE
After leaving America and Lincoln, Dardo plans to begin the first of six years of study at the Facul tad de Economic Sciences in Montevideo where he will study public accounting. His special interest is Latin-American problems.
Dardo' s main problem in America, as is the case with most persons in a foreign country, can be best explained in his own words , "I know what I am talking about but I don't know what I'm saying!"
CHRISOF SWITZERLAND
Leaving his home in Basel, Switzerland, August 3 , Chris arrived in Lincoln to spend the school year with John Madison. a senior at Lincoln High , and his family.
This trip was quite an undertaking for someone who attended a school with only 250 students The reason for the small enrollment, Chris explained, is that the school , (continued on page 3)

To LincolnHigh Students:
Four things a man must learn to do If he would make his re~ord true; _ To think without confusi~n clearly, To love his fellow-men sincerely; To act from honest motives purely; To trust in God and heaven securely.
Henry Van Dyke
The lines above tell us what is needed for a happy, useful and successful life. The citizens of Lincoln offer you, through the schools, excellent opportunities to prepare yourself for your life's work. You can do your share by preparing each day' s assignment that day and by participating in every phase of the program of your school.
We sincerely hope that a fine summer of work and vacation has prepared you for an enjoyable and profitable school year. Your membership in a school which is designed to serve "all of the children of all of the people" through academic, vocational and cultural classes and activities is only part of your school experiences.
You are also a member of a s~ude~tt body which is pluralistic in b:1~ging together different races, religions, and nationalities for you to l!a~n how to live with all others. Th1s.1s the kind of world into whic~ yo~ w1~l go. Each is a member of a m1nor1ty 1n some ways and each is a member of a majority in other ways Our human relations with others are the second and perhaps more important part .of what you will learn at lincoln High School.
Sincerely yours,
Finally

Peppers have made a breakthrough! For many years they have been trying to change the style of their uniforms, but until this year every campaign to do so has been unsuccessful.
Last spring, Peppers were given the chance to change. They had two choices: to adopt new blouse-type tops or to return the traditional sweaters. The outcome is evident as the girls have been wearing the wool tops!
Approval of the new uniform has been the reaction of the Peppers.

'Pebble Pups' ReachMaturity;
Rockhounds Display Collection
"Rock hounding" is the consuming interest of two sophomores, Rick Kohn and Chris Engelhart. The pair is currently preparing their collections for the Lincoln Gem and Mineral Club' s 1ockarama to be held at Pershing Auditorium, September 22, 23, and 24. Rick and Chris were formerly members of "pebble pups", junior affiliated of the Lincoln Gem and Mineral Club. They served as treasurer and president of the organization, respectively. Upon entering high school the boys became full-fledged "rock hounds."
lbris, whohas been collecting for II years is chiefly interested in wood. His most prized possesion is a piece of petrified wood, found near Fullerton, which appears to have been burned at one end.
Rick prefers lapidary work, cutting, polishing, andmounting, to anything else. In five years of collecting, his favorite stone is jade.
A display of rocks from both boys collections will be on display in the hall in front of the office this week.
System Offers Opportunities: Stimulates Student Imagination
A new system for taking attendance at Lincoln High was inaugurated at the beginning of this semester.
Last year, if a student was absent from school, before gaining an admit-to-class slip, he had to: 1. bring a note from home; 2. justify his absence to the attendance officer's satisfaction.
Now he may either bring a note or write his own excuse! No matter what excuse is given it wi 11 be accepted and he will be granted an admit-toclass slip.
LATENTTALENTSTIMULATED
This would seem to open the doors of opportunity to those students who have the urge to let their imaginations run wild. No longer need the student hide this creative desire!
A little ingenuity on his part could produce excuses similar to the following:
I was absent because-~-
! was run over by a sixyear-old on a souped:.up trike.
I was kidnapped and held prisoner by a berserk scientist.
I found out that there's no Santa Claus and suffered a major breakdown.
I inhaled one of my contact lenses.
I was temporarily paralyzed when my electric tooth..: brush short-circuited.
EVENTUALCONSEQUENCES
Unfortunatl:x he can unleash his imagination only once or twice, because the excuses are kept with his school records. If too many of these fictitious fantasies are collected parents wi II be informed and the student will have to suffer the consequences from the "hand that feeds him."
The new system is intended to put the student on his honor and to shift the responsibility from the attendance officer to the individual.
Oh well, I guess it's back to just plain, "I had a sore throat."
"Make the most of your high school years because there aren't any others to compare with them" is Gary Garrett's advice to sophomores. Gary, in addition to playing fullback on the Links Varsity football team, participates in track, basketball, L Club, and Student Council.
Gary likes "The coaching and kids" best about Lincoln High and he sets his goals high for his final year as a Link. Among his ambitions are "to make the all - state football team and to get better grades than I did in my two previous years."
Following graduation from Lincoln High, Gary would like to attend the University of Nebraska and rlay Cornhusker football while studying to be a coach.
Senior Cheerleader Judy Wittstruck considers this year's senior Class as "very creative and surprisingly organized."
Not having to take any math is what Judy likes best about being a senior. She advises sophomores "to get as much as possible out of your high school years, both educationally and socially."
Judy's activities as a Link have included Reserve and Varsity Cheerleading in addition to her being a Home Room Rep and Student Council member.
Judy's most embarrassing situation was at the Columbus game when whe was "Knocked down by one of the other Cheerleaders in front of the whole crowd."
Attending the University of Nebraska and becoming a stewardess are among Judy's future ambitions.

Glenn Hergenrader, center for the LHS Varsity football team, considers his senior year one in which he will have "a little bit more freedom and fun " Among his goals, as a senior, are "to take state in football" and receive as good as possible grades.
Glenn's most embarrassing situation was "our getting beat by Pius last year in football." Mr. Pfeiff, Coach Loehr, and sophomore girls rate as what he likes best about Lincoln High.
In addition to Varsity football, Glenn has participated in intramural basketball, and L Club. He was Junior Class president and a Home Room Representative.
As for the future,Glenn would like to go to the University of Nebraska and play football for the Cornhuskers.

(continued from page I) the GymnasiumMuenchenstein, is newly built.
School is in session six days a week, with only six weeks of summer vacation. However, during the school year, groups of students are allowed to go on ski trips for a week at a time. "This helps to make up for the lackof clubs at the school," ·Chris pointed out.
"The Swiss people are much more serious about life than are Americans. Sports and extracurricular activities are not apart of school life as in America."
In Switzerland, Chris is a member of the Swiss Aero Club, which builds and flies model planes. His other interests are aeronautics and music. The latter hobby includes listening to Dixieland jazz, classical, modern, and popular music from England, France, and the U.S.
During the summer Chris likes to play badminton and ping-pong. All of this activity, however, still leaves
Jet Set Breaks Language Barrier
Seven Lincoln High School students spent six weeks of the summer in Europe. They were part of the American International Field Service Program.
Included were Diane Baker Jim Guest, Jim Hoffman, Dick Livingston, Cindy Pillars, Patty Ramsey, and Madonna Skinner.
All the students, except Madonna, accompanied Mrs. Ruth Buckner, Lincoln High School German teacher, to Kleiningersheim, Germany.
ONETO FRANCE
Madonna studied in Dyon, France. She described D"yon as a "college town located in an agricultural region much 1 ike Nebraska." She found French teenagers much the same as American. They also like to wear sandals and listen to the same American and British recording groups so popular with American teens.
Patty found studying in Germany "quite an experience!" Her main difficulty was understanding the rapid speech of the German people.
While at Schiller College the Geru1any group lived in an old castle which was being used as a dorm.

It's five foot nine, weighs 55 pounds, wears a size 11 dress, and has a petite 5YzB shoe size. It has blond hair, brown eyes, and a flawless permanent complexion.
Uo you know what it is? Yes, it's true, Lincoln High School now owns a girl mannequin recently purchased for use in the sewing department at a cost of $95.
Although it will be used primarily in the home-ec
rooms to display student's sewing projects it also will be allowed to travel to other departments in the school. She might be used to advertise plays, operas, or even to show what a well-dressed secretary looks like.
Mrs. Sayre is sure that it will be very useful in many school departments.
The mannequin has six removeable parts and can turn at the waist. She came equipped with a motor-operated stand which allows her to turn full circle. A glass cabinet will be provided for her in the near future.

All you had to do was ask us. We've got all sorts of things at the PLACE!' So they took her down where Cindy saw. solid colored and plaid wool shorts, cords, and sweater and skirt outfits that would make even a football player look twice! !
So Cindy got to go after all BUT it wasn't to a ball. It was a football game. And the LINKS won, of course.

Football is Charlie's favorite sport because, "it makes you tough." Sports participation also has taught him sportsmanship.
Charlie's most memorable experience was making the football team as a sophomore.
Charlie's favorite pastime is girl watching and his philosophy is "love makes the world go round."

Rick Sills, whose future plans include college and "just plain being successful," is the starting guard on the Links football team.
Football, the sport in which Rick lettered is his favorite. His most memorable experience came when he blocked a punt in the Kansas City game last year, recovering it on the 6-yard line. Thinking he was diving over the goal line he actually lunged over the five.
Rick believes, "participation in sports has taught me that if you want something bad enough, you have to work and suffer to get it."
Rick's favorite pastimes are weight-lifting, eating, sleeping, and being lazy. His pet peeves are being short and being a slow eater.
Rick's most embarrassing moment came when he had to kissagirl inaskit in front of the whole sophomore class.

Confused By Football Jargon?
Ignorant Fans, See Glossary
Just because the so-called weaker sex does not participate in football, it does not mean that they should be ignorant of the rules of the game. This was the reasoning behind the ,creation of the girls Football Clinic, taught by Coach Andy Loehr.
The clinic has ended, but, as a supplement to the clinic and for the benefit of girls who were unable to attend, the following definitions were compiled:
Glossary of commonly used football terms:
FORWARDPASS: Fresh boy makes play for girl sitting in front of him.
PASS INTERFERENCE:Guy sitting next to girl turns out to be her boy friend.
LINE BACKER:Passer's friend says "j.f at first you don't succeed try, try again."
HUDDLEand HOLDING:Results of completed forward pass.
ROUGHINGTHEPASSER:Results of pass interference.
ENDRUN: Half-Back rips uniform and runs off field to locker room to change.
DELAYof GAME: Half-Back can't find extra uniform.
Back Field In Motion: HalfBack decides to play with torn pants.
Quarter Back Sneak: Shifty hot dog vendor short-changes customer 25 cents.
Illegal Receiver: The hot dog you ate was meant for guy next to you.
Extra Point Attempt: Coach tries to bribe referee.
Kicking Team: Sent in if referee accepts bribe, but t earn loses anyway.
Short Gainer: Mitzi's daughter. Red Dog: School mascot bites referee.
Punt Return: \What a person does if he i5 dissatisfied with newly-plllrchased boat.
Clipping: Must take place before boys with long hair make team.
Now, a brief quiz to test your football vocabulary: Define these common terms:
Double Play
Jump Shot
High Hurdles
Par-5 Hole
100 Meter Freestyle
ANSWER:If you were able to answer any of the above questions, you should have attended Coach Loehr' s football clinic.
The Night of the Game
(Apologies to A Visit From St. Nicholus by H. Clement Moore)
'Twas the night of the game, and all through the crowd, Roared the cheers for a victory, strong and loud. The goalposts were hung with the Black and the Red And the scoreboard stood ready for the battle ahead. The great banks of floodlight o' er the stadium glowed, And gave the lustre of midday to objects below.
The yelling and screaming, the Cheerleaders led, While visions of victory danced in each head; I And then burst forth the Lincoln High Band, And it brought to his feet every Link in the stands.
When what to th_eir jubilant yells should appear, But the Black and the Red, amidst a tremendous cheer. And because of the applause and thunderous roar, I knew in a moment, 'twas the team and Coach Loehr.
More rapid than eagles his players they came, Enthralled with spirit and Lincoln ~:ligh fame. Now Tarpley! Now Tapp! Now Garrett and Gill! On Moore! On Hergenrader! On Starkweather and Sills!
And onto the gridiron the players they ran.
And the Cheerleaders, and Peppers and the LHS Band, And the students and faculty and every Link fan in sight, Stood up and cheered to all, "Victory tonight!"
Fred Newcomer Class of '70
Thumbnailer Pat Graham participates in Peppers, Mummers, Math Club, and Lin-Co-Y. ''To improve my total semesters average, to attend all LHS functions, and just to try to make this the greatest year possible" are Pat's ambitions for her last year as a Link.
"Just don' t stand there and let LHS pass by you; get into its life before your three years are over" is what Pat would suggest to sophomores. In her spare time, she enjoys being around friends and studying astronomy.
Pat would like to major in mathematics at WhitmanCollege in Washington after graduation from Lincoln High.
As a senior, Rod Hernandez enjoys the "added responsibility and being looked up to by the sophomores."
Rod likes "the LHS spirit, of both the teams and the student body as a whole" best about Lincoln High and cautions sophomores to "never let the traditionally good LHS school spirit down."
Rod's future ambitions include attending the University of Nebraska and entering pre-med, to major in radiology.
Student Council, Traffic Safety council, and Aqualinks are among Rod's extracurricular acti vi ti es and he hopes to "accomplish a lot of things I haven't done before and to improve and be more conscientious of the things I have done" as a senior.

"Study hard as a sophomore and junior so your senior year will be the best" is Peg Schrage' s advice to underclassmen.
Peg likes "the friendly atmosphere and the spirit found throughout the school" best about Lincoln High; she enjoys spending her spare time "with a boy named Bruce!" Peppers and Home Room Reps are among Peg' s extracurricular activities. Earning the best grades yet and having 1 ots of fun rate as Peg's goals for her senior year.
After graduation, she would like to attend a Lincoln school of nursing.

Senior Bruce Hendricks recalls "tearing my pants in an English class" as his most embarrassing situation~ Bruce, a member of student Council and the Varsity Golf Team, hopes "to get the best grades possible and to do a great job on Council" during his senior year.
Mr. Scott and Miss Danise have been his favorite teachers and Spanish his favorite class. Bruce advises underclassmen ·to work hard as sophomores and even harder as juniors so that "when you' re a senior you have something to be proud of:"
Bruce' s plans for the future include attending the University of Nebraska and a medical school. In his spare time, Bruce enjoys participating in sports and, coincidentally, spending time with a girl named Peg.
Thumbnailer to 'Star' Status
Quote from the "Thumbnails" column in the October 27, 1954, issue of The Advocate.
" 'To be an actress' is the secret ambition of cute blonde Sandra Dennis. Little wonder because, as you know, 'Sandy' has one of the leads in this year's Senior Play and had a major part in the Mummers Play last year."
Coach Loehr hammers football know-how into girls' pretty, but seemingly thick heads.
(From 1 eft) Bruce Hendricks, Peg Schrage, Rod Hernandez, and Pat Graham prepare for Homecoming activities.
Patiently waiting for the end of the school day and the start of another Links' victory are the megaphones and pompons of Cheerleaders (from left) Margie Smith, Judy Wittstruck, Penny Newman, Patti De Voss, Bonnie Broman, Connie Pappas, and Nancy Schneider.
'Big Red' Spirit Soa.rs
Do you have school spirit?
The Lincoln High School Student Council thinks so. On the first day of selling, September 22, the Council members sold 212 spirit hats
"The purpose of the sale," said Mrs. Jean Fenner , sr-onsor of Student Council, "was to encourage other members of the student body besides the pep club to show their school spirit and also to let the opposing team 'see red' all over the Lincoln High side, showing our eagerness to be numberone in the state "
The Student Council is also
contemplating the sale of the old desks being replaced throughout the school

Jenkins Receives
AFS Call to Austria
Bob Jenkins, Lincoln High School senior, will be living in Vienna , Austria, for one year, under the auspices of the American Field Service Program.
INTENSIVESTUDY
From mid-June , when he was notified of his appointment; until his departure on August 21, Bob studied German because his language major had been Spanish. His efforts were culminated by three days of intensive study in New York City
He is living with the family of the director of an agricultural college in Vienna. Bob's family includes a 19-year-old brother who attends a music academy.
MOUNTAINHOME
His home is on a mountain, 45 minutes by train from Vienna , and his parents, being interested in agriculture, have many orchards and vineyards.
Six days each week Bob must commute to Vienna for school. Pupils are required to take 15-subjects. Regular high school classes are scheduled in the morning while afternoon classes are either college preparatory or designed to meet a student's particular interests and talents.
Bob, who was elected president of the,.Lf!S student Council for the first semester, will be attending school in Austria all year. He plans to return to the U.S.A. late next August.

An international flavor has been added to the Lincoln High scene by representatives from Asia and Europe who are enrolled in the school this year.
Marie-Christine Morel , from France, is a guest at the Keith Newhouse family and Tinnarko m Rvangri t, from Bangkok , Thailand, is staying with the family of Dr. C.H
Tinnakorn plans to stay in Lincoln for the next seven years, He hopes to graduate from Lincoln High and enroll in the University of Nebraska School of Architecture.
School in Thailand is quite different from that in the United 'states. Tinnarkorn attended an all-boys school; the 300 st~dents ranged in grades from kindergarten to tenth.
Lincoln High' s size and the fact that students move from class to class rather than the teachers coming to them impresses him most.
According to Tinnarkorn, ''You go to school to study." Even sports are ignored; physical exercise is.usually limited to one hour of judo each week. Tinnarkorn' s family at home includes an older sister, who is a sophomore in ,an Australian college, and a younger brother.
lie is looking forward to Ii fe in Lincoln. "I hope that these next few years wil 1 be good ones for me."
VISIT HAS DUALPURPOSE
Marie-Christine, sponsored by the International Christian Youth Exchange, is here for a dual purpose : she is attending school and getting to know the United States much better.
Marie's first impres$ion of Lincoln High was that. it was "different." Her' s was an all-girl school, where each girl wears a "kind of apron" which covers her clothes In Marie's combined junior and senior high school there were 3,000 girls. "But," she said , "it seems that there are more people here because you' re al ways moving around. At home the girls stay in one room and the teachers come to them."
Marie's horn&,town of Muihouse is an industrial city in the east of France, Instead of living in a town, the people 1 ive around the factories in "411cb they work
"Ci ties in France have narrower streets than those here and they don't have any wellorganized parking. The townspeople usually walk or have a small car for town and a larger car for 'company, ' " she observed.
Marie is full of enthusiasm for the coming year and her opportunity "to get to know the United States."
"Je ne fais pas bien la cu1sme, mais j e vais essayer de te pr/parer ton plat prefttre," says Marie-Christine to Tinnarkorn. (Translation:I'm
Yien.
The float, which was pulled by a red-paper-covered jeep, was mounted on a flatbed trailer. It featured a girl tearing bandages which represented the past, a girl in a wheelchair with a boy behind her which represented the present, and a spaceship which anticipated the future.

Shape Up, Girls!
Tinsica, arabesque, birdie; and butterfly are becoming familiar sounds in the girls' gym. It all began with the formation of seven new sports for girls at Lincoln High: volleyball, swimming, gymnastics, tennis, golf, basketball, and trackand-field.
Physical education instructors Miss Helen Jo Miller and Mrs. Opal Stoehr serve as sponsors and supervise practices from 7:45-8:30 a.m. and from 3:30-5:00 p.m. each school day. They are currently involved in volleyball and gymnastics, with the other sports to start later in the year. "We have meets planned with Northeast, Southeast, and East High, so all interested girls should come out and support the Links by signing up today," urges Mrs. Stoehr.

Eight-ranked Grand Island upset third-ranked Lincoln High, 14-7, on a water-soaked Seacrest Field, October 7.
Lincoln's previous average had been over 42 points per game.
The speed of the Lincoln backs didn' t help muchon the wet field. Grand Island was able to hold the Links to a single TD, which came in the first half, on an eight-yard run by halfback Charlie Moore.
Grand Island took advantage of two fumbles by the Links to score twice in the second half, once on a seven-yard pass and again on a plunge from the one-yard line.
The Links' next game is its Homecoming against Lincoln Southeast, October 13, at Seacrest Field. Game time is 7: 30.
Lincoln High got its fourth win of the season by beating
TAPP
To be a teacher at Lincoln ,High is Lonnie Tapp' s future ambition. The reason Lonnie likes Lincoln High so much is because of the "ever-lasting, school spirit, Mr. Pfeiff' s pep talks, and the great coaches."
Lonnie has lettered in football and has a Reserve track letter. He has also participated in intramural basketball where he averaged one-half point per game.
Football isLonnie' s favorsport ·~ecause it's a team game but yet you' re an individual because you have to beat the man across from you."
His most embarrassing experiences were being beaten by Northeast and Pius last year. His most memorable was being moved from the backfield to the guard spot beside Glenn Hergenrader. Participation in sports has taught Lonnie "to start out in the line and maybe you, too, will be moved to the back field!"
Lonnie's favorite pastime is "sleeping and enjoying the good things in life-more sleep." His pet peeve is being asked how many touchdowns he has made when he plays in the line.
"Whenyou become satisfied with your performance you aren' t doing your best, " says Lonnie. "Suce,ess reauires the will to win."
Varsity football player Marvin Jaques plans to attend the University of Nebraska, where he will major in engineering.

Give up? As any observant Lincoln High student can tel 1 you, it's the mural that was recently placed at the main entrance of the Lincoln Hi9h School Auditorium.
At first glance, the viewer is overwhelmed by a myriad of colors and shapes surging through his optic nerves. After the initial, paralyzing impact, hemanages to reorganize his mental processes and begins to absorb the mural section by section. With study, he begins to comprehend the various divisions which portray the history of transportation, agriculture, industry, and education in Nebraska.

Linda Knight likes being a senior because "by now you've gotten to know most everyone and you've made a lot of really great friends."
She advises underclassmen to keep busy, to take schoolwork seriously, and to take advantage of all the extra activities.
Linda is active in Peppers, Camera Club, senior girls volleyball, Red Cross, and serves as secretary of Art Club.
Her pet peeve is her nickname, "Bubbles."
This year, Linda hopes "to improve my grades, do all I can to make this the best year I' 11 ever have, and to leave Lincoln High knowing I've done something for the school after all it has done to help me."

CHAMP ARCHER PREFERS TARGETS TO APPLES
Would you penni t someone to shoot an apple from your head? You say you are afraid because no one, not even CUpid, has that kind of skill? Well, meet archer Susan LeMond. Like William(Wilhelmina) Tell, she could easily shoot an apple from your head, but she prefers to aim at targets.
So expert is this Lincoln High sop homore that, with her bow and quiver of arrows, she has garnered two state archery championships in the girls division, and this year placed second in state!
Archery is a family sport. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Donald LeMond, charter members of the Capital City Bow Hunters Club, introduced her to the sport when she was 10. One year later she earned her first state championship; since then she has collected dozens of trophies, ribbons, and medals. Altogether the family has coll ected 153 trophies from shoots and hunting.
Members of her family are part of the large number of what is known as "instinctive shooters," those persons that shoot barebow, without benefit of sights or other equipment. This type of shooting requires hours of practice in order to get the "feel of the bow."
Susan uses a 30-pound fiberglass bow with number three mirroflight, fiberglass arrows. A bow' s size is determined by the number of
pounds it takes to pull the string back 28 inches.
She prefers fiberglass arrows because wooden ones often break and those of aluminum are easily bent.
"The competition in shoots, other than the state meet, is keen because barebow shooters must compete with the frees-tylers, or those with sights on the bows," isays Susan.
"The class in which one competes at ~hoots is deter-· mined by the number of points earned after shooting at 28 field targets."
The benefits of archery, according to Susan, besides building up arm and shoulder muscles, are the fun of the competition, and the oppors tuni ty to travel. Active participants can travel all

original forms. Even in this enlightened age, man has not forgotten that this occasion commemorates the night when witches mounted their broomsticks and rode to the Great Sabbath to hold unholy revels with the Prince of Darkness.
Even today, many of the traditional games for modern Halloween are carry-overs from the past. The colonists began the American custom of holding gatherings as fannhouses on the night of October 31. The harvest was over ·and this was the time when apples and nuts were ripe. Because these two delicacies were important at these parties, Halloween often was referred to as "Snap Apple Night" or "Nutcrack Night." Thus, the early Americans played the traditional games with nuts on the hearth and ducked for apples. Apples played a further part when unmarried girls threw the peelings over their shoulders in an effort to determine the initials of their future bridegrooms.
About this time, the colonists discovered that American pumpkins were excellent for making jack-o-laterns, and these carved faces became traditional for Halloween. Halloween has become what is called a "degenerate holiday." Al though Halloween used to have religious significance, today it is devoted to the delight of children.

"I enjoy the sport because my success depends on my own ability and poise:"

Former Lincoln High graduates also came to give their views and concepts about furthering one's education.
Representing the University of Nebraska were Mr. John Aronson, office of admissions, and Dr. Ed Lundak, office of scholarships and financial aid. Dr. Sam Dahl, dean of admissions, spoke about Wesleyan. Lincoln School of Commerce brought Mr. Arnold Bartels while Mr. Gilher t Brauer came from Mil ford Vocational Technical school.

SPOKENO TURKISH
"I knew nothing about the language to start with and I can't say that I learned a lot from my language classes," she explained. "However, I was fortunate because my host family could speak some English so they could help me learn Turkish."
Suzie's family included two sisters ages 19 and 20, and an 11-year-old brother. Her father was editor of a newspaper.
"My sister, both models, had just finished high school and were waiting to find out if they hadpassed their college entrance,exams. School in Turkey is much more difficult than it is here, and it's n~t uncommonfor a student to fail a number of courses which he must make up during the summer."
Suzie found the food a little strange. "It took me some time to get used to a breakfast of bread, olives, cheese, and tea. But when the initial shock wore off I found the ·~ooking enjoyable. -
"They use more oil in cooking, and eat enormous quantities of rice, and drink cay (tea, pronounced chi) with everything.
TEENSARE 'SAME'
"It shocked me that Turkish teens are so similar to us. They enjoy the same music and the same type of activities as we do, but there are differences."
Some differences Suzie reports, are that girls could not wear shorts except at the beach; her family did not own a car or TV; and young people are not allowed to date.
"I was lucky to live with such wonderful people and I know that even if I never see them again they will always be 'my family.'

Links '68 Homecoming Queen
KNOPP
_WhenTim Knopp looks into th·e future he sees the University of Nebraska and a medical career. But for now Tim's main •ncern is Lincoln High and what he likes best about it are "the kids."
Tim's favorite sports are girl chasini and football "because it is a contact sport and being small I can get revenge on the big guys." At Lincoln High he has lettered twice in both Varsity football and golf.
Links Bomb Two More
Lincoln High easily rolleu over North Platte, 53-13. picking up its sixth victory of the season Saturday night at Seacrest Field.
After giving up a first quarter touchdown to the Bulldogs, the Links roared back with a four-touchdown blitz in the second quarter and four TD' sin the last half, three of which were on passes.
Charles Moore took the first pass, a 48-yarder from Bob Gill. Then second-stringer Gary Worster tossed a 23-yard pass to Wayne King only to be followed by another 23yard pass from Marty Smoyer to Gary King.
Mel Tarpley scored on two 2yard-runs with Bob Gill adding a one-yard plunge.
The rest of the scoring was done by the defense with a 35-yard pass interception by Gary Garrett and a five yard return of a blocked punt by Kip Hendrickson.
t1UMEC6MINGVICTORY
The weather was perfect for a football game and Links fans really got one as Lincoln High trounced city rival Lincoln Southeast, 28-0, at Seacrest Field, October 13.
'fhe initial score caine when Southeast's Bruce Munson was caught in the end zone after a bad center. This gave the Links a safety and put them ahead 2-0 with 8: 29 remaining.
About five minutes later, Lincoln High's Charlie Moore raced 54 yards over right tackle to score, getting an eYfJeptional block from end, Jim Ellis.
On the next drive Lincoln High marched 64 yards to the Southeast 2-yard line. But a 5-yard.loss and a delay-ofgame penalty set the ball back on the 12. With a fourth and goal situ at ion, quarterback Bobby Gill make a beautiful pass to end Jim Ellis who barely made it into the end zone before going out of bounds.
The score stayed 15-0 until early in the .fourth quarter when Southeast punted out of the end zone to the 29. on the next play Moore carried to the two, and two plays later he burst through for the score
The final score came after Southeast punted to Lincoln High' s 25. On the first play from scrimmage, with the aid of good blocks, Garrett went off tackle and ran 75 yards for the TD.
His IJ!Ost memorable experience came last year when the golf team took state. Giving a campaign speech instead of an acceptance speech in guidance lingers as his most embarrassing experience.
Among Tim's pet peeves is "the way the guys on the team kid me about playing up to the coaches. "
Tim's favorite wisecrack came when the football coach told him to use his shoulder instead of his head when tackling and Tim told him that his head came first.
"Finish school, get a good education and participate in a sport" are Tim's words of wisdom.
TARPLEY
Melvin Tarpley, who has .lettered twice in both Varsity football and track, lists his future plans as "being a success in whatever I start out to be." If it's sports, Mel is well'on his way already. He can account for six TD' s in football and a super-star effort in track as a junior.
Mel's favorite pastimes include going to shows and sleeping. His pet peeve is having so many nicknames.
Mel rates football and track as his favorite sports because of the "team effort in football and the individual effort in track." Participation in sports has taught him to "keep his head."
His most memorable experience came when hr beat Omaha speedster, Elmer Reeves, in a race last year.
He rates his most embarrassing moment as the time he "loaned a kid my track shoes in the state meet, and then he beat me i.n the race!"

Lights flash, sirens blare, bells ring, and six girls in shiny, red vinyl firemen's costumes glide down a slippery slide. This marks the opening of the 1967 Aqualinks show, "It' s a Mad Hat world."
In a quick follow-up, five girls dressed in black bunny costumes will ''swim-out" to strainsofLove PotionNumber9.
"Safe!" calls the umpire, as Aqualinks actually swim a game of baseball in the water.
An annual event, the junior trio, follows the baseball act. Swimmingin white eyelet suits with matching "Baby Hats" will be Cheri Bailey , Anne Fortney, and Kay Stiner.
Patroling the area, disguised as London bobbies, the club's officers are sure to find trouble, especially with four finmen lurking in the area.
Using the familiar theme of girl-chase-boy, four Aqualinks will swim in the "School Days" act.
Adding a somber note to the program, members of the solo, duet, and trio acts will combine to swim in the "Green Beret" act.
A lazy summer day is the setting for fout fishermen wearing "Straw Hats."
Another tradition is the pres entation of a senior soloist elected by club members. Connie Pappas will wear the crown in this act.
Four super-sleuths appearing next in black capes will attempt to imitate the most of them all, "Sherlock Homes."
Tall, starched, white "Chefs Hats" appear next on six girls as they prepare to swim up a storm.
"Southern Belles ," Janet Bottum and Susie Kos, will charm the audience in the senior duet.
"Hats Off to the Flag,"

Kiwanis Sponsors 'Young Americans' Seniors Will Profit
"All of the current movies filmed are nothing but trash, not fit to be seen by anyone, no matter what age!"
However, according to Mrs. Margaret G. Twyman of the Motion Picture Association of America, "at long last a happy movie has been filmed, one that leaves you feeling good inside. This new movie, The Young Americans, is a sheer delight."
As a public service, the Kiwanis Club of Lincoln has arranged for this movie to be shown and has invited all Lincoln high schools to sell tickets as a money-making project. Lincoln High senior homeroom reps have undertaken this project. The film will be shown November

Who Speaks?
Today's youth stands as a target for a multitude of opinio~s, constan~ly being assaulted by meanI ngl ess words, half-truths and propaganda.
From this welter of opinions, the teenager is sup~osed to be able to determine what 1s true and what 1s right. They hear from their parents and school one set of principles while, on the other hand, they hear the rabble-rousers preach the princi- ples of violence.
Whatdo these people hope to accomp l i sh by such statements? Dothey hope to sway the youth of America by teari n g down a l l th a t t h e y h ave b e en taught to believe is their heritage?
Whatever their purposes, one thing is certain: today's thinking youth cannot accept such statements. Today's youth is too perceptive, too informed, too patriotic to listen.
Most youth realize that on their shoulders soon will rest the burdens not only of America but also of the entire world, and most of them are preparing themselves to assume these responsibilities, knowing that their strength and endurance, their levelheadedness and intelligence must be major factors in the battle they must face as adults.
Perhaps all is not well in the United States and the world: ~here are many problem,--no teenag~r 1s so naive as to bel 1eve otherwise. But what is accomplished by tho~ghtless talk that only muddles th~ 1mage of this country, its flag, and its people?
Dothese dissenters speak for youth? Do they speak for you?

Oh, swell! The opponents won the toss. This means I'm in for a good, swift kick. Last time, their punter kicked me 7Wyards! Here come the officials gotta try to get away where can I hi de? Oh, no! One of them got me. He' s putting me on the kicking tee. Here comes the team I'm scared already.
Well, here it is, the second quarter, thank goodness. That first one wasn't too bad, only one fumble and three punts. I hope I can make it to the half.
They'· re lining up ag_ain. Oh, no, it's going to be a long pass. Don't let me go, don't let me go he did! I'm going so fast and so high. Someboby catch me don' t let me hit the ground. Good, he caught me. Thank you, my buddy, my pal.
Look out! We're gonna be tackled. Oof! Boy, I wish he wouldn't get so mad just because he got tackled. Always throwing me down as hard as he can! As if it were my fault!
They' re lining up again. I've barely recovered from
that last play. The quarterback doesn't want me, he's throwing me away. Where am I going? Those fakes make me so dizzy! Whee, a lateral! These are fun!
Here we go. Charge! Wait a minute! Look out! Don't drop me! Oh, no, a fumble! Help! Ugh! Oof! Ooooooh Two thousand pounds all on top of me, a poor defenseless little football. I must not live right!
Halftime, at last. All the football players get taken care of, but nobody looks at me, except mayme to kick me a little. Oucru! Watch the foot! Hey, look! The players are running out and they aren't taking me! Oh, joy! Oh, bliss! Guess I' 11 bounce over to the door and see who they' re massacring now.
Hey, that's my little brother they've got out there! They can't do that to him! I've got to save him! He's too young to die. If I can ju st make it over to the sidelines.
Hurray! somebody spotted me. They' re changing balls. C'mon, guys. Ugh, oof, ouch! Aaaah, this is the life!

THUMBNAILS
"Agreat bunch of kids" is Thumbnailer Dan Kahm's description of this year' s senior class members. Dan, who would like to go to the University of Nebraska after graduation from LHS, is working to make this his "best year yet" as a Link.
Dan likes "the opportunities in almost any field" best abou·t Lincoln High and his pet peeve is people who don' t take advantage of these opportunities.
He recalls ''coming to school with my head shaved" as his most embarrassing situation as a Link. Aqualinks and Varsity swimming are among his extracurricular activities.
Janet Bottum, Aqualinks president and a member of the Lincoln Youth Symphony, enjoys knitting, reading, and listening to music in her spare time.
"Participate in all activities you have time for but don't lose sight of the real reason for going to school - to learn" is Janet's advice to sophomores.
"Because students come from all over Lincoln, you can get a separate education from just meeting and getting to know the kids" is what Janet likes best about LHS.
Making the Aqualinks show the best ever and teaching the boys to swim in straight lines are among Janet's ambitions for her senior year.
Following graduation, Janet plans to attend the University of Nebraska where she will major in computer science.
Senior Dan Dermyer advises underclassmen to ''makeuse of all the fine facilities at Lincoln High and to study hard but have a lot of fun also."
Dan, a Varsity swimmer, Home Room Rep, Aqualink, and L-Club president, would like to see "regular lunches and the 8: 00-2: 30 schedule brought back to LHS."
Being called "Fish" is Dan's pet peeve and swimming, playing football, and watching girls are among his favorite sparetime activities.
Making €Veryone realize all sports should get equal recognition, taking state in swimming, and achieving the best possible grades are among Dan's goals for his senior year.
After graduation, Dan plans "to attend a university, perhaps Nebraska or Southern Illinois, and swim for them."
Diane Bryan, Aqualinks secretary, considers her most embarrassing situation was "when I was trying out for Aqualinks and the strap on my suit started to slip!"
In addition to Aqualinks, Diane participates in Peppers, Mummers, Camera Club, Teenage Project, and has served as a representative to County Government Day and to the National Student Safety Conference.
Diane's suggestion to improve LHS would be to add some more good-looking senior boys because "the ones wehav~ now all seem to be interested in the younger girls."
As a senior, Diane hopes "to make the Aqualinks show a success and to have a big water fight with the senior men."
Diane's future plans include enrolling at the University of Nebraska and going into the field of dental hygiene or nursing.
Bulletin Boards Add 'Decorator's Touch'
Students in Lincoln High School's business education cl asses have noticed a change in their classrooms. Bright colored burlap, provided by the Future Secretaries Club, was put on the bulletin boards in rooms 115, 121, 125, 127, and 227. Teachers then decorated them with students' work, and other related materials.
· Miss Dorothy Dumpert, typing teacher and sponser of the Future Secretaries Club said, "This is a school service project, to add a decorator's touch to the rooms. We had to scurry to get the burlap in time for Open House."
Mrs. Frances Colon, shorthand teacher, tells "Coco," a "drop-in," that al though Lincoln High has much to offer, he will have to go through regular

Diane likes "the building, the people, and the memories they leave you with" best about Lincoln High.
Senior Dave Ripley likes "the great kids, and the 'cr-a-z-y' teachers best about Lincoln High.
Dave, who participates in Varsity track, Choir, and weightlifting, likes to "chase compact cars and go hunting for wild-life out of season" in his spare time.

Tryouts Over; Six Victorious
How does it feel to stand before a whole auditorium of people and perform a cheer with every eye glued on you? Well, the six newly-elected Reserve Cheerleaders and the other 27 girls who tried out last week know exactly how it feels.
For weeks these girls have been practicing diligently for what they believe to be one of the most import.ant parts of any school' s spirit.
Cheri Bailey, Georgia Campbel 1, Genece Filbert, Barb Loseke, Vicki aothe, and Kathy Wil tfang gave cries of joy, excitement, and relief when their names were announced as the new Reserves.
They will have about two weeks to practice together before the first ResE:rve game with the Hasting' s Tigers.

City Law Enforcement Chief's Main Concern
(Editor's Note: Due to the recent upsurge in crime, especial I y juvenile crime, The Advocate staff be! i eves it timely to present the views of Lincoln Police Chief Joseph Carro 11. } * * *
"Any red-blooded American can come in contact with the police," says Police Chief Joseph Carroll, ''but it is our hope, in the Police Department, that it will not lead to permanent or longtime trouble."
Chief Carroll has been with the Lincoln Police Department since 1930, when he was a student at the University of Nebraska His father was the : sheriff of Alma, Nehraska, (the birthplaceofChief Carroll) priur to bis appointment as U.S. Marshall in 1916. Law enforcement has been a way of life in the Carroll family for years. His brother is currently associated with the FBI in Omaha.
DESIRE TO SERVE
Chief Carroll feels the basic purpose a policeman must have "is the desire to serve mankind through the enforcement of its laws The more education a policeman has, the better prepared he will be. A law degree should be his educational goal."
Chief Carroll says some universities offer a course in police science. There are many academies and institutes "which Dolicemen may, and should attend, also." He himself ha s attended the FBI Academy , the Northwestern University Traffic Institute, and several others.
What he likes most about his job is "the unpredictability of any given day; no two are alike." People who complain to him about a traffic ticket while he's eating lunch at a local restaurant is one of his pet peeves.
POLICEMENBLAMEDFORLAWS
Chief Carroll says, "Often policemen are blamed for the laws. It is the City Councils, State Legislatures, and the U.S. Congress that make the laws, not the policemen. When men and women take the oath

This philosophy is exempl ifi ed by her broad and varied interests. She feels every man has value and importance in life, and wants to help each to find his place.
"This summer, I hope to do social work in Mexico," she commented. Jinx also likes to travel, dance, surf, and read children's stories. Whenever possible, she enjoys seeing her favorite actor, Sydney Poi tier, perform. "He's doing a lot for modern America through his acting. He represents the picture that we need."
PARENTALINFLUENCE
In the field of drama, Jinx appears ideally suited. "My parents have had a tremendous influence on me," she commented. "They have taught me to stand up for what I beIi eve in and to be an individual."
Her father, a professor of children's literature, and her mother, a radio and tel evi sion scrjpt writer, probably are the motivators of Jinx's acting enthusiasm.
·~erforming on stage is a release, a kind of a hobby for me. It means being whoever I want to be and, besides, offers a challenge."
Attending three different high schools within three years seems a challenge in itself. "Lincoln High is the largest school I've attended, but the laboratory school iv Madison, Wisconsin, rates as most unique.

Winter Sports Begin; Coaches Are Confident
Of the 100 boys who tried out for basketball this season the field has been narrowed to squads of 12 Varsity, 12 Reserves, and 18 Sophomores.
Three returning lettermen are Joe Casmer, 6' 2"; Bryan Grosscup, 5' 9" ; and Charlie Moore, 6'
''The three lettermen are quite solid and experienced while the other spots are wide open," said Coach Alden Johnson. "Manyof the players we are counting on are untested in their abilities to compete in a strong basketball schedule. They must react with great determination and desire."
Asked to predict the team's chances this year, Coach Johnson replied, "Weare hoping some members of last year's Reserve team can fill the experience gap. They will have to show steady improvement which, I feel, they can and will do. Squad members have worked hard so far and have a good attitude. Weare counting on them to never be out-hustled."
The team begins its season December 1, at Hastings.
Coach Melvin Simpson's wrestling team has scheduled more matches this year than ever before. Included among the toughest opponents are Omaha South and Omaha Westside.
"Although there is a shortage of light-weight boys this year, there is some improvement over last year," says Coach Simpson.
Amongthe 45 boys out for the sport are eight returning lettermen: Ron Bousquet, Brad Dickson, Monty Halstead, Robert Nimic, Bob Orta, Jim Peterson, Tom Simpson, 'and Wayne ~ringer.
****
Seven of the 41 boys out for the sport are lettermen back this year for gymnastics coach Phil Sprague. Letter~ men on the high bar are Bill Reinhardt and Mike Gorka; on the parallel bars, John Tilts; at tumbling , Jeff Johnson and Rick Swartz; on rings, Mike Gorka and Dan Kapke; on side horse, Vic McWilliams; on tramp, Jeff Johnson; at free exercise, Jeff Johnson and Rick Swartz.
More meets are planned this year including a new invitational with schools from Lincoln, Omaha, Beatrice, and Grand Island participating.
''Toughestopponents for the year should be lincoln Southeast, Lincoln Northeast, Omaha Benson, Grand Island, and Omaha Creighton Prep in about that order," says Coach Sprague
He added that "these gymnasts are a little ahead in tumbling and high bar, about even in side horse and free exercise, and a little behind in parallel bars, rings and trampoline. If normal progress is made we will be highly competitive with other teams.
"Developing the necessary depth is the main problem this year, but the boys have shown good interest and hard work on both old and new tricks."
Lincoln Southeast and Omaha Westside pose the biggest threat to the Lincoln High swimming team, according to Coach Gene Cotter. Asked what its chances were like this year, Coach Cotter quipped, "Whoknows?" Seven lettermen are returning including Dan Dermeyer, Paul Eldridge, Keith Ghormley, Dave Johnson, Dan Kahm, Spencer Luedke, and David Madison.
Comparing this team to those of previous years, Coach Cotter said, "Wehave more out this year and we have good spirit."

Kip has participated in intramurals, basketball, and has lettered twice in Varsity football.
Scoring a TDafter blocking a punt against North Platte serves as his most memorable experience His most embarrassing moment came when he missed a pass from Gary Worster in the Columbus game.
One of Kip's pet peeves is his nickname--Gravy.
The reason Kip likes football so much is because it's a contact sport. In addition, it has taught him the value of teamwork and has helped him "learn to get along with other members of the team."
Kip's words of wisdom to underclassmen are, "Study hard and participate in at least one sport or activity

Council Sponsors Projects: Cards, Trees, Decorations, Party
The Lincoln High Student Council is again sponsoring various Christmas projects, including the most recent, that of sending Christmas greetings to Lincoln High alums serving in Vietnam. Council members are also writing personal notes to beincluded in the cards. This idea, suggested to Student Council last year by Mr. Alexander Currie, biology teacher, proved so successful according to Council members that it will be repeated this year.
VIETNAM
To meet the financial problem of mailing the cards to Vietnam , a wash tub was placed outside the cafeteria, into which students voluntarily dropped coins which will be ~sed to defray the postage costs. The total amount collected was $15.72 Each contributor signed his name on a poster which read- -"Support LHS Boys in Vietnam."
The Christmas cards were prepared by the Art Department and printed by the Print Shop at Lincoln High.

CARDSTO
Rx for Image
Today everyone has an image. People are judged by what they appear to be rather than what they are. That's why politicians, actors, and other wellknown persons hire public-relations experts to create and maintain a desired image. They knowthe importance of pleasing the public and that pub1 ic reaction can make or break them.
Large institutions, including Lincoln High arenodifferent from individuals. A school's image, although make up of each student's personal image, is judged as a whole. The cl iche that "a few bad apples spoil the barrel" is true. A few students with fl i ppant attitudes about their school and little re~ard for themselves are often responsible for Lincoln High's public image.
Every time the name of ayoun~ person in trouble is 1 inked with Lincoln High, newspaper readers remember it. Passing motorists see the groups of 'non-school' young people who gather around the building every day at 3: 15 waiting for friends. If these young people are smoking or being rowdy, most motorists won't stop to think that if these kids were students they would still be inside. No, they see the groups and chalk up another black mark against us. Unfortunately, it's the black marks rather than the white which stick in the memory.
Incidents like these are responsi- ble for our "J Street Trade School" image, an image that can't be easily erased. Just a few careless students who forget they're on display can affect our tradition of scholastic and atheltic excellence.
Maintaining the school's good repu- tation is every student's duty. We know Lincoln High is the best school in the city, but it's up to each of us not to sell it short throu$1h a poor attitude and careless behavior.
Needed: Voter Acumen
The position of class officer earns respect and prestige not only while the officers are in school, but even after graduation. That's why it is necessary tog i ve this e 1ect ion some careful thought.
Lincoln High found it wise in the past to switch its method of election of cl ass officers from the "at large" type to the automatic selection from the ranks of HomeRoomRepresentatives. This not only made ballot counting easier, but also did away with "pop- ularity contests."
But havewemissed the point in this change? Do all Home Room Reps have the qualifications to hold a class office?
A class officer should be a leader in both citizenship and scholarship. He should be the type of representa- tive of whom the rest of the class may be proud, and he should have the time to carry out class duties faithfully. He should not be elected by his personality alone, but by his proven ab i 1 i ti es.
Perhaps, to give students a wider selection, HomeRoomAlternates could be included in the nominee·s for class offices, for often they are just as qualified as the Reps.
But, however important are individual qualifications, of even ~reater importance is the attitude 1n the class room at the time of elections. Before castinQ votes,discussions on the roleofthe Reps and their importance should be held, and each candidate should be ~iven the chance to demonstrate his abilities.
The quality of class officers can be improved by making stricter reg- ulations for HomeRoomRep and Alternate candidates. This is possible only throu~h careful consideration of all candidates and by having all Home Rooms follow the same election pro- cedure.
"I want to talk to you about this "4" I got in girls PE."
Computer Mixups May Bring Disbelief, Happiness, Sorrow
Upon awaking one sunny June afternoon I found a neatly addressed envelope balanced on my dresser. When I opened it I found it to be a rather important looking conglomeration of figures neatly compiled on a rigid piece of perforated paper.
For weeks I had awaited its arrival with a tense interest in its contents, but now as I read it I felt no air of excitement but rather one of confusion.
I' M A NUMBER!
Across the top of the form was printed my legal name. (You know, the name it took my parents months to decide on). Next to it was my social security number 222-22-2221. Dropping to the second line I found the number 68745-234 51-3476. Being too long to be my phone number I figured this must be my new IBM number. I assured myself that this new number would be one I could be proud of the rest of my high school days.
Next to it was my familiar high school grade code 871-3 21. This number brought back fond memories of my days as a sophomore when learning one's grade code numbers was the goal of all conscientous students.
SOMEBODYGOOFED
Down the left column of the form I next noticed a list of classes. Here, I was to encounter a series of surprises. Being of the masculine gender I was shocked to find I had earned a "2'' in general foods, and I saw no justice in my "5" in home planning! For some reason I felt that someone had goofed. I not only got a "4,; in girls PE but I had failed to receive my credit for being on the Varsity track team.
The burning anger inside of me was cooled rapidly as I noticed I had received a "l" in algebra. I had done the impossible- -passed a math class in only my second try! I rationalized that the "7" I had received at the end o t the nine- week period must have been a mi stake which I would keep to myself unless someone else mentioned it.
On the whole, I felt satisfied with my grades. I decided to overlook the home planning and general foods and figured the girls PE couldn't have been all that bad. Next fall I would ask about the track credit and until then just be happy (and quiet) about my "1" in algebra.
Mixed Reactions Greet New Grading System
The new IBM grading system will soon be Pit into effect at Lincoln High.
With this in mind, The Advocate put this question to various Lincoln High students. "In view of the fact.that Lincoln High will beparticipating in IBM grading and students will receive grades twice· a semester, only, what is your reaction to the pro-· posed system?"
Here are a few opinions: Elaine Johnson, senior: "The IBM implication is that a person's attitude towards his teacher and his class no longer counts all that matters is the almighty grade!"

John Madison, senior: "Grading has al ways been a n eccessary evil of our education al system. Receiving grades only twice a semester will decrease the worry• of giving and getting grades for both the student and the instructor. Also, a student will be able to enjoy nine weeks of school before being grounded, rather than six."
Jane Peterson, senior:" "The new IBM system will be less bother for the teachers because they will only have to make out two exams per semester. For the students it will make it easier to study and will promote a sense of security knowing there will be only two BIG tests a semester."

Five Girls Now
Although drafting is not closed as a career to girls and it is somewhat unusual to see them enrolled in drafting cl assef;, five girls are presently taking this course.
Mr. Dean Clawson chairman of the Industrial Arts Department, says, "There are approximately 295 students taking drafting this year and although it i sn' t un1 ikely to have a girl or too, to have five is quite unusual. The average is about four every year. Most girls start slowly, but after the first six weeks, catch on quickly and produce high caliber drawings."
The girls are Maryellen Hudson, senior, and Jamie Hejl, Beth Meyer, Debbie Rubie , and Nina Shanks, juniors.
Each girl has her own reasons for taking drafting Mary ell en Hudson said that drafting started as a hobby and she became more and more interested in it. She is taking architectural drafting this year and likes "drawing house plans and the things you learn from it."
Jamie Hejl, who is taking mechanical drawing, wants to major in some field of technology. "Drafting is interesting and although it takes a long time to do a drawing, the finished product looks really nice."
Architectural drafting student Beth Meyer, wants to be an interior designer. Shehas tak en drafting for two pr evi o us years. "Drafting isn't
essential for this vocation but it is helpful," she notes.
"I'm thinking about majoring in engineering and needed it as a requirement," is why Debbie Ruble is taking mechani c al drawing.
Nina Shanks wants to be an illustrator. "Mydad said I should take it and I really like it now."
Senior Richard Livingston summed up the opinion of the boys in the cl asses by observing, "No fellow l i kes to see a girl who is smarter
than he at drawing a better house plan!"
According to Mr. Clawson, th e course in mechanical drawing (a pre-requisite for architectural drafting) tries to cover as many phases of drafting as po ssi bl e, so that the student is better able to visualize and understand objects, and draw them well enough for reproduction of the drawing. Architectural drafting deals with the planning phases of a home which the student designs within certain limitations.

The Greeks Had a Word for It Gymnastics Basically the Same
Gymnastics was first practiced in Greece where gymnasts performed as early as 500 B.C. The Greeks spent as much time training for this activity as they did on academics .
The Romans, living in the most modern civilization of their time, did not partake in the sport at first although the SPartans had demonstrated its value in warfare. Gymnastics seemed to make one more coordinated and gave the soldier an all-around strength. After a time, it did catch on with the Romans but never had great popularity.
But--back to the Greeks! They believed the body could be increased in size, strength, and aptitude in proportion to the use made of it. Gymnastics, therefore, sought to train all parts of the body.
Early Greek scientists discovered that gymnastics improved the health and that special exercises were helpful in the cure of various diseases and disabilities. Hippocrates, Greek physician and father of medicine, prescribed it as early as 500 B.C., to counteract the ill effects of rich living.
BUILDINGSUSEDAS PUBLICMEETINGPLACES
A building where gymnastics were performed was called a g y mnasiam. The first Greek gymna s ia were used as public meeting places · and schools as well as training areas for participants in the public athletic games trained. The buildings were very large and contained rooms for the study of art, music, and various branches of sport.
The basic skills in this branch of athletics have changed little since earlier times Today six major events constitute the gymnastics scene: horizontal bar, parallel bars, side horse , still rings , long horse, and free exercise. Additional events , now popular in the United States are tumbling, rebound tumbling, (more popularly known as the trampoline). rope climbing, and the flying rings. The horizontal bar is a thin steel bar about nine feet in the air used for continous swinging, vaulting, ahd changing direction of swing
Two thin wooden bars, parallel to each other and abo~t five feet three inches above the ground, constitute the parallel bars. These are also used f o r swinging, vaulting, and turns as well as for balances.
'Die side horse is one of the most difficult to work well because the performer is supposed to keep from touching the horse.
The long horse is shaped like the side horse except that it is longer and taller. A spring board, placed on the floor at one end of the horse gives the gymnast lift.
Free exercise requires no equipment. Within a limited area, usually 12-12 meters, the gymnast performs a variety of balances, jumps, holding poses, and other tricks which require strength, coordination , and fl exabil i ty
Great arm strength is re qui red to \\Ork the rings. One must be able to raise and lower the body or hold it in a sustained position between ho rings hanging from the ceiling about nine feet above the ground.
Weight lifting is especially effective in the training of a gymnast. W~th special exercises, every part of the body is benefitted.
To be a good gymnast one must also have intelligen c e, as well as muscle, since it is necessary to figure out which tricks look best together and which are worthwhile to learn. In addition to being intelligent , a good gymnast must also be curageous and persistent.
ROUTINESJUDGEDBY THREESTANDARD~,
_In _ competition , gymnastic routines are judged on the d1f~1culty of the tricks, the grace of execution , and the pun ty of form. Free exercise and tumbling are timed events. Americans have contributed little to the world scene in gymnastics as a team sport. The United States is coming up , though, with many high schools offering the sport as a part of the athletic program
The reason gymnastics is so popular in Europe is summed up by Frank G. Menke, writing in The Encyclopedia of Sports: "Gymnasts execute, in a single evening, acts of greater daring and perform more valiantly, more muscular feats than some baseball and football players are called upon to do in an entire season."

True Meaning of Xmas?
'Twas the week before Thanksgiving and all through the town,
The Christmas trees were up , the lights strung around
The merchants were set, each ready to go ,
To see who would win and make the most dough.
All were thinking of presents, of food, and of mirth, But no one remembered the original Birth.
This year things have gone a 1 ittle too far! In the past, local merchants have been able to resist seeing, unti I at least the week after Thanksgiving7 the inevitable dollar signs that glitter and twinkle during this festive season. However, each year the "decorating date" has been pushed forward. Lights were strung, trees were decorated, and Christmas Carols were piped into some stores as early as two weeks before Thanksgiving. If this escalation of the season continues, before we knowit merchants wi11 begin putting up decorations early in the summer!
One might well ask "Whyall the rush?" The answer is s impI e-money! Too many peopI e are so busy wondering what to buy Aunt Minnie or Uncle Oswald that they haven't the time to think about the true meaning of Christmas.
Asareli~ious holiday, Christmas has Jost much of its significance and, with this changing attitude, much of its beauty and meaning no longer exists.
Upon awakening Christmas morning each of us should give some thought not only to the beautiful gifts we hope to receive, but al so to the true significance of this special Birthday.

Former Link Now on TV, Revisits Alma Mater, Finds Both Old, New
Mr. Dick Cavett, well - known TV personality and son of Lincoln High School teacher Mr. Al Cavett, visited his alma mater Monday.
Mr. Cavett remembers Lincoln and Lincoln High School as "being much 1 arger; however, the longer one stays, the larger it grows."
One big difference he noticed in the school was the relocation of the gyms and the fact that the new lunch
room is doing a "booming" business.
The former Link's first step to stardom was as a writer for Jack Paar, who emceed The Tonight Show. "I got my big break by walking up to Mr. Paar in a hallway and thrusting one of my monologues into his hands," said Mr. Cavett.
It's not the recommended method to get a job but it worked in Mr. Cavett's cas~
Image of Saint Nicholas Changes Through Years
It would be difficult for one to imagine Santa Claus any different from the way he is depicted in Clement Clark Moore's "A Visit From St. Nicholas."
" His eyes--how they twinkled' His dimples how merry!
"His cheeks were like roses hi s nose like a cherry!
"He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, "
But, lil fact, over the centuries, the conception of the j ollY gift bearer has changed as radically as the airplane, from the Sopwith Camel to the Saturn moon rocket!
The original St . Nicholas was the Bishop of Myra in the ancient city of Lycia on the coast of Asia Minor 1n the A. D. 300' s. This kindhearted bishop would often venture out into the night to deliver presents to the needy. He became the patron saint of schoolboys during the Middle Ages, and his feast day, December 6, was celebrated in many European countries by eiecting a boybishop who paraded through the streets draped in magnificent robes.
Dutch settlers carried the custom of the feast day with them to America. When English children tried to say the Dutch name for the saint , Sant Nikklass , they often mispronounced it and said Santa Claus.
Up to this time , St. Nicholas had been thought of as a tall, thin stately person, but in 1809, Washington Irving described him as a jolly fellow with a broad-brimmed hat and huge breeches , who rode over the roof tops in a wagon and dropped gifts down the chimneys.
emcee except as an impromptu translator for the German Miss Universe.
BOTHNEBRASKANS
The former Link decided to do some of his own material and made a successful appearance on the Tonight Show emceed by Johnny Carson. Mr. Cavett shares asimilar background with Johnny Carson--they are both Nebraskans.
The only troublesome factor in a career in the entertainment field, according to Mr. Cavett, is "the uncertainty of a preformer' s future."
However, it wasn't until 1866 that the famous American cartoonist, Tnomas Nast, put the finishing touches on Santa's present-day image in a drawing depicting the jolly saint in his workshop mulling over his records of good and bad children In the background was the now fanmliar reindeer-drawn sleigh, the bags of toys, the stockings reindeer-drawn sleigh, the hung on the mantle , and the Christmas tree. and Mr. Paar hired him as a writer. He never perfofmed on camera when Jack Paar was
SUCCESS
He says there is no certain formula for success in per-· forming; "Just go to New York City and plan on starving; take lots of money and stretch it as far as you can."

Storehouse of Thought
Key to Rabbi's Wealth of
"The most precious thing in the world is the human personality." These words spoken by Rabbi Sanford Ragins of the South Street Temple, sum up his philosophy on life. They are the key to his storehouse of wisdom and kindness.
"The human personality is also the most fragile object we possess. One of the biggest problems·, therefore, is protecting its dignity and integrity."
The Rabbi, it seems, has dedicated his life to this purpose. "As a teacher of men, I try to use my in fluence to protect the value of mankind. There is di scrimi-· nation today that serves only to destroy man."
But this pro bl em can be handled, according to Rabbi Ragins. ''People have fir st to learn how to feel for others and secondly they have to think. Again, this remedy can be carried too far, for when too much attention is given to color or creed, a barrier results. A proper balance must be maintained in regards to cultures. It is necessary to have respect for various sects, but this shouldn't be the entire basis of your opinions of people "
YEARSOF S11JDY
Certainly the above ideas just dido' t happen overnight. It took years of toil to produce such rich fields of thought and imagination. A strong educational background appears as the springboard for his vivid intellect. This began at UCLA, where he majored in philosophy, Endish. and sociology.
Here, with the encouragement of several men, he decided to become a rabbi. He also belonged to a Teenage Youth Movement which sponsored a summer trip to India, where he learned of new cultures and beliefs.
Upon graduation from UCLA, Rabbi Ragins attended the Hebrew Union College in Ohio for five years to become a rabbi. He was also given the
opportunity to study for one year at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. This was enriched by visits to Turkey; the USSR, Greece, and other parts of Europe on the return trip.
Finally, after these travels, the Rabbi entered Brandeis University in Massachusetts for an additional two years of study. Thus, as you can see, the seeds of understanding have been sown in the path of Rabbi Ragins.
GOAL-TOASK
For the rabbi, learning to ask the right questions is an accomplishment in his life. "These questions concern the human personality and things which can be done to protect it," he explained. «A goal for me is always to keep asking these questions and gain fresh ideas; for if I stop asking I' 11 be dead be fore I die:"
Such intangibles, then, form the basis of his life. Philosophers such as Martin Buber, and writers like Hermann Hesse have had an enor-
While many people are surrounded with the spirit of the coming holiday season , others are concerned with acti vi ti es comp! etely apart from the idea of Christmas. Those bf the Jewish faith are, at this time, celebrating a different festival.
From December 26 to January 3, they will be observing the annual feast of Hanukkah which commemorates the rededication of the temple in Jerusalem. an event which occured in 168 B. C. For three years previous to that time, the Syrian Greeks had been oppressing the Jews and preventing them from praying.
Finally, under the strong 1 eadership of Judas Maccebaeus, the Jews were able to overcome the Syrians. Thus a festival was proclaimed in honor of their religious liberation.

mous impact on the rabbi. His 1 ife has evolved through volumes of books and oceans of travel, and it continues to expand every day,
The life of ~abbi Ragins might ver3 well be expressed by the sentiments of one writer who said, "To live long is almost everyone'$ wish, buttolive well is the ambition of but a few."
After cleansing the tempi e of Syrian idols, the holy lamps were lighted for a period of eight days. Today, the menorah, a type of candelabra is lighted each night of the holiday. At the end of the week, a total of eight candles will have been lit with a blessing said at that time.
"Celebration of Hanukkah, intheUnited State , s today is somewhat under the influence of Christmas," commented Rabbi Sanford Ragins. "Some families exchange gifts each night with the important ones given on the last evening.
"The feast of Hanukkah is actually a minor holiday in the Jewish faith. It is, however, an illustration of different ideas and customs which many people fail to realize."

On Chri stna :s Eve, the Morels, aProtestant fanily, go to church at midnight and sing carols, many of which are like our own. They eat nothing ( except cookies) for 24 hours preceeding the church service. Then on Christmas day they have a dinner much like an American Thanksgiving feast, with turkey and all the trimmings.

On Christmas Eve, the par-· ents decorate a Christmas tree with candles. The children are not allowed to see the tree before Christmas Day. On this day, presents are opened and a large family dinner is served.
Chris said the one thing he is missing most at this time are the very special Christmas cookies \\hich are made each year.
His only complaint about the American Christmas is, "I don' t like it when people put up half of Disneyland in their yards."

'New' Leaszlo Press Will Enable Art Students To Print Etchings
A device that will enable art students to print their own etchings has recently been presented to Lincoln High art teacher, Mrs. Louise Bereuter, by the University of Nebraska Art Department.
"Though it is rather old, we' re fortunate to have one, " stated Mrs. Bereuter. •'I be1 i eve that we are the only high school in Lincoln able to print etchings in this manner."
The press, a Leaszlo Print Press for Etchings, is a simple device consisting of "washing machine" rollers (powered by hand) and a separate metal plate.
The first step is to cover the metal pl ate with a waxy substance. Then a design is scratched into the wax with a sharp mefal tool. The plate is next covered with acid; the area unprotected by the wax is eaten away and thus forms the design.
Next, the remaining wax is removed and the plate is covered with ink. After removing the excess liquid, the etching is ready to be printed.

Three art students and their teacher, Mrs. Sheri th Decker, are currently involved with the construction of a mosaic mural. The mural will depict some of the various tools used in the art classes.

"To brighten up the room and because I like to work mosaics" are the reasons gi ven by Mrs. Decker for embarking on the project.
The students who have volunteered their talents to the mural are Mary Edwards, Dave Hartsell, and Lane Hoage.
The making of a mosaic mural is a complicated business. First the clay must be mixed and then rolled out to an even thickn~ss. A full size pattern, made from the original sketch, is placed over the clay.

TILTS GORKA
If you see romwne bombing around on a blue, 650 BSA motorcycle it is probabl~ gymnast John Tilts, one of this week' s Sons. Johnny also enjoys working out wit~ weights, ~inting, and gir~ chasing. ·
John is Art Club treasurer and amember ofL Club. He has lettered two years in gymnastics and placed in the state meet both ymrs. Last year he took first place in districts and trans-Nebraska on the paralle 1 bars.
Johnny likes gymnastics because "an able-bodied Link can fully exert himself displaying strength, courage, and detennination which also shapes his personality."
"I feel that gymnastics is one of the least supported and represented sports at Lincoln High although it i~ one which has one of the best records of state championships and victories."
John' s favorite wisecrack is, "Ibn' t think, just go for it, or you'll psych-out."
His future plans include attending the University of Nebraska and entering into some field of art.
currently in the Naval Reserve, Son Mike Gorka's future plans include two years of active duty in the Navy after high school graduation and then, after his military obligation is filled, continuation of his education at the University of Nebraska.
Mike has participated in L Club and Varsity gymnastics for the Links since his sophomore year and rates his most memorable experience as placing in a Varsity meet as a soph.
Mike's pet peeve is Room 211 andhismost embarrassing moments occur whenever he "blows" a routine.
Participation in sports has taught Mike f'sportsnanshiJ> and the ability to accept defeat only as a motivation to '8 rk harder."
Mike' s words of wisdom are, "In sports you have to give a lot to get a little satisfaction, and to have peace of mind, you need to know you did your best."

To carry the train theme, the ushers will be porters; the MC's, engineers; and Mr. Orville Vou, director of the Joy Night orchestra, will be ."conducting" the orchestra, in a medley of tra1 n songs.
The chairman of each act must fill out an ap- plication, which is available from Mr&. Joyce Cox, director of Joy Night, in Room215. Acts must be prepared for tryouts. which will be beJd February 13 and I~. MC tryouts will be a week after the final acts are chosen in order to tie in the material with the acts.
Acts will be regui red to fit someway into the theme. A time 1 imit of 3-~ minutes has been set for curtain acts; skits may be 5-7 minutes in length. A curtain act is one that provides time for set changes behind stage and 1s 1 imited in numberofpeople and the area covered. A soloist mo~ologis.t, or a duo might be possibilities.

According to Mr. Harry Kuklin, assistant pripcipal in charge of instruction, "the 'N system had its advantages Since all classes were of equal size, it was an easy task to schedule assemblies. In the old system we had the problem of large phys. ed. or glee classes which did not meet every day," he noted.
"But there were also prob1 ems with the new system," he went on to say. "It was time-consuming and resulted in additional work for the teachers. This is why we have decided to return to the former system of taking att endence first period and giving the announcements at the beginning of second •
"Assemblies will sti 11 be scheduled first period but we will try to have them on Tuesday or Thursday, rather than Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, so as to avoid the classes which meet only on these days."

Drive To Live

You can't pretend that all the ice and snow isn't there; you must acknowledge the problems_. The best idea for winter driving is to be about twice as careful because it's at 1east twice as dangerous.
Because you 1 ive in Nebraska 1 you have to drive in these conditions, but with care and courtesy you shou 1d be able to make it.

Minor Major- Support
While eating lunch in the cafeteria one day we overheard a conversat i o n a bout t he "mi no r s po rt s. " A1though it's difficult to define a minor sport, these Links seemed to think it is "any sport besides football and basketball."
We classify those gems of physical activity such as hopscotch or roller derby in the "minor" category, but certainly not swimming, wrestling, or gymnastics (to mention only those presently in season). Howmany gymnasts believe they spend hours working on routines for a "minor" sport?
Everyone 1 ikes to take pride in what he is able to accomplish. However, it is not very encouraging to compete in a meet before only a few doting parents, a couple of loyal girlfriends, and dozens of empty rows in the bl eache rs. In fact, it can be down-right di scou raging!
A1 1 Li n co 1n Hi g h ' s wi nt er s po r ts teams have excellent records. The gymnasts have garnered six state titles and the swimmers have won II. Although the wrest! ing team's highest finish has been third, they are reputed to have a good chance in the state meet this year.
But whether the sport is major or minor, or whether the teams win or lose, they're Links. They deserve our support.

V audeville--The Variety King
The teen generation of today has only a vague concept of the term vaudeville. However, even today, certain forms of vaudeville, such as the Ed Sullivan Show, are still to be seen on TV.
Vaudeville was a form of entertainment made up of music, singing, dancing, and miscellaneous performances , given in a series of short, independent acts. Vaudeville, which originated in France , became popular in the United States in the 1890's and flourished until the early 1930' s
Patterned after British music halls and Continental variety stage productions, specialty acts including magicians, dance teams, topical singers, acrobats, animal acts, aijd monologists were included on the typical bill.
Vaudeville, orginally for male audiences only, was considered disreputable until 1881 when, on October 24, Tony Pastor introduced the first'tlean" show for "ladies and gents" at the Fourteenth Street Theatre in New York City, After this, vaudeville dev~loped rapidly and earned millions of dollars, thanks to the organization of the unit, or "packaged" show, which toured for chains such as Keith Orpheumand Pantages circuits.
ACTOR' S GOAL
In the golden days of vaudeville, to play the New York Pal ace Theatre was every variety actor' s goal. There, at the famous Mondaymatinees , he appeared before the most famous Broadwayproducers and agents, and there he often won contracts to appear in
musical comedies and revues. Amongthe most famous head1iners were Eva Tanguay, The Marx Brothers, the Four Mortons, and the Four Cohans, including George M. Cohan.
JOY NIGHT'68
'lbe collapse of vaudeville after 1930, was attributed to the autocratic methods of E. F. Albee, one of the guiding lights of early vaudeoffered with the arrival of sound motion pictures. However old vaudevillians never die--they became popular in night clubs, on radio, in television variety shows, and in Joy Night, 1968!

CostumesAre 'Hobby' For Ambitious Designer
"Youhave to like it and have to be willing to work. , " says Joe Miller, speaking of his job as costume designer for the Lincoln Community Playhouse.
He is in his third season at the Playhouse, coming from a similar position in Denver, Colorado Costuming is just a hobby for Mr. Miller even though it takes many, many hours of his time each season; he makes a living teaching culinary arts in the Man Power Training Program
The Lincoln Community Playhouse makes almost all its costumes though it does borrow a few Mr. Miller estimates at least 1 , 000 costumes are included in the stock.
To prepare for each play the costume crew follows a definite schedule At least 3 months ahead of production time, Mr. Miller reads the play and makes note of allusions to various colors, the number of changes for each character, and the time allowed for each change.
Following this preliminary survey, Mr. Miller makes sketches as he altered according to the type of person chosen at tryouts. After the play has been cast, and at least three weeks before technical rehearsal, (which is the Sunday prior to opening night), measurements are taken and either new costumes are made or old ones are renova ted to fit the cast menfbe rs. Final'J)rawings and al terations tb~e last. Everything in the costume depart-
Mr Miller ment is finished at least a week before opening night.
A tribute to Joe Miller and his crew members' accomplishments is the confidence director of the Playhouse, Roland Reed, has in them.
Mr. Reed feels he can completely turn over all responsibility in this respect to Mr. Miller and be sure of fine results
Mr. Miller feels designing and constructing costumes makes him a representative part of the production as a whole. He would like to see more of this phase of production in high school drama study.

American Field Service Seeking Homes for Exchange Students
Again this year, the Lincoln High School American Field Service Committee is offering to sophomores and juniors and their parents the chance of a life-time--the opportunity to open their homes for one year to an AFS student. Having an AFS brother or sister would mean sharing the town, school, and family with a stranger to the United States, "
and making a life-long friend. REQUIREMENTS-SIMPLE
The requirements for acceptance as an AFS host family are simple. The guest need not have his own room; the only requirement is that he has his own bed.

HOST FAMILIES' REACTIONS: 'EXTRA BROTHER FUN'
The opportunity to provide a home for an AFS student is now being made available. As Chris and Dardo have explained, the experience is very rewarding.
HOSTFAMILYDELIGHTED
[UERYONC
John Madison, Lincoln High senior and host for Chris Bigler, said that ·~aving an AFS brother has been the highlight ofmy senior year. Chris has not only given our family the historical background of Switzerland but a greater understanding of people all over the \\Orld.
"It seems that AmP.ncan Field Service has undergon~
•eticulous planning to place students into homes compat1bl e to all. It is really great to have someone sharing nearly identical interests and being your own age Ii ving in the same house."
David Madison, also of the host family, is a junior at Lincoln High, TWINBROffllmS
Dennis Kumm, the second AFS host, feels that "having Dardo in the house is just like having another brother. The big difference is that this 'brother' is your own age, so you can get along with him better and have lots of fun."
STUDENTCOMMITTEE
Dennis Kumm, David Madison, John Madison, Mike Mattingley, Jill McMasters, Rosemary Moore , Carol Potter , Chris Ryan, Dardo Schopf, Suzy Schwartzkoph, Madonna Skinner, Kay Stiner, Peg Van Zandt,
Included in the committee are the following: Kathy Amen, Chris Bigler, Kathy Brauer, Gary Chesnin, Jan Dutton, Keith Ghormley, Robin West, Elizabeth Weyrauch, David Wiebers, and Eileen HighElk, Kori Keech, Dorothy Wilson.
'USA- Surprisingly Different'
"You cannot really know a country without being there and seeing it yourself," stated Chris Bigler, AFS student from Switzerland. Cllris has relatives in the United States and had seen so many pictures that he thought he knew what it would be like.
"Teenagers a 11 over the world are basically th!:! same," said Chris. Observing American teenagers, Chris concluded that Swiss teens have more respect for their parents and teachers. ''Maybe it is because the Swiss demand more respect," decided Chris.
BIGGESTDIFFERENCE
He thinks one of the biggest differences between the two countries is the school system. "The only trouble with ours' is that many of the Swiss children are forced to get in to the best schools when they lack the intelligence."
After being at Lincoln High, Chris decided that he liked having all different kinds of kids in the same school. "Lincoln High offers you the opportunity to meet all kinds of students, which is so important in the world today," said Chris. If he could bring something to LHS from his school, Chris would have brought along the 15 to 20 minute recreation periods between each class. He was impressed by The Advocate and the yearbook, and wishes his school would have something like these.
Dardo Schopf, AFS student from Uraguay, also found the United States to be different from what he expected. "I first came to know the American people through my English classes at school, but this, of course, was not sufficient to thoroughly understand the people.
"I thought it was going to be quite simi 1 ar to my own life, but it's different. I cannot go by myself when I want to, because th"' way of life is ctianged," commented Dardo.
U.S. "SURPRISING"
It seems that teenagers in Uraguay are given more freedom; there are less restrictions and Dardo was surprised to find a specific time limit for dances. He also thinks that the way we dance 'in rows,' one for the boys and one for the girls, is rather strange!
"One of the most interesting aspects of my life in America is the school system and the c 1 asses I t ak e, " said Oardo. "I also like the informal atmosphere you have about dating. In Uraguay, we don't 'switch-off' couples as often as you.
"I have certainly changed since living in Lincoln; but it is a change for the better. I part'icularly admire your organization, drive, and the way you carry out your respon si bil i ti es."

ORTA
A college education is in the future plans of Bob Orta, currently the undisputed ruler in the state's 112-lb class in wrestling.
Bob's favorite pastimes include all sports and running around "with what's her name?"
Bob participates in a host of extracurricular acti vi ti es including 3oys State and Junior Red Cross. hie is al so L-Club vice-president, amem-· her of Dance Band, a Home Room Rep, and is secretary of the senior cl ass.
The 112-lb bundle of dynamite participates in baseball, wrestling, and cross country and has lettered in baseball and Varsity wrestling for three.years. He holds one of the school's most impressive records as an LHS wrest1 er.
Taking state in his junior year after finishing second in his sophomore year rates as taob's most memorable experience.
Bob's favorite sport is wrestling because, '"even though the rewards and praise are not as great as in a major sport, you get a feeling of sel f-·accomplishment after winning because you can not blame anyone else but yourself for the mistakes you commit during a match."
"The teachers and coaches, also the great spirit the whole student body has about acti vi ti es going on at LHS, " is what Bob likes best about Lincoln High.
Letterman Jim Petersen, in the Arts and Sci enc es curriculum, has been a member of the Varsity wrestling team for three years. H:J, has al so 1 ettered in football both as · a player and as a manager.
Wrestling ranks as his favorite sport because, "It's different from any other sport in that you either finish first or you lose. When the individual loses he can't blame anyone but himself. "
Handball, weight lifting, and ''messing around" take up Jim's free time; he is also on the yearbook staff. Jim likes the teachers in the Science Department and the great sports tradition most about Lincoln High.
Sports have taught Jim to set a goal and work toward it. One of his regrets is that "theonly problem with being a good loser is that you have to lose .top rove it."
Future plans tnclude attending Northweste·rn. Uni versi ty.
Stiff defense with 43 per cent shooting from the field by the Knights added up to hand the Links a 32- 21 halftime deficit.

MEIER
Senior Varsity football and basketball manager Ron Meier has great anticipation of attending the University of Nebraska, where he will enter the College of Medicine. Ron has five varsity letters to his credit, three as football manager, and two as basketball manager.
Ron's favorite pastimes are ''goofing around, bowling, and being with that certain someone!''
Ron's pet peeve is people who tend to "look down" on managers.
:Besides .football and basketball managerships, Ron has been active in Intramural basketball and volleyball. He was president of Lincoln High' s sophomore Chess Club.
''In the 1966 Lincoln High football game \Vith Hastings, I just came out to the sidelines, and was knocked down by a Hastings player sliding in the mud,'' says Ron, recalling his most embarrassing moment.
Lettering a s a ,sophomore is Ron's most mernorabie experience.

Letterman Steve Amgwert, who is in the Engineering Curriculum ' and is presently on the Varsity swimming team, has also earned a Varsity manager's letter in track.
Singing in the Madrigals takes up most of his spare time, although he does find time to spend with ••a girl called Kathy.,,
''The spirit'' is what Steve likes best about Lincoln High and al so the ''many friendships you find.''
Slipping down a full flight of stairs, rates as his most embarrassing experience, while beating an out-of-town swimming competitor in the 100-yard butterfly, rates as his most memorable.
His main pet peeves are ''girls who flirt and guys who call him 'mighty great runner. ' ''
His advice to underclassmen is ''work hard and do as many things as possible while in high school, because of the great satisfaction of knowing you've done your best."

THE
Farewell to Mary
(Ed. note: the following is a reprint of an article which appeared in the St. Paul Methodist Church bulletin.)
The first time that she came to church, some four years ago now, I greeted her at the door and said, ''I'm glad that you could be in church this morning." I always mean it when I say that, but I suspect that some people think it is only a routine greeting. Mary didn't treat it that way at all. That very afternoon, making her customary rounds about town, she was reporting to all her friends that the Methodist preacher said he was glad that she was in church, and th~t she was never going to miss another Sunday.
Her name was Mrs. Welton, and her husband had died a few years ago. Not many people knew her last name, or that she had ever been married. She was known variously as Apple Mary, Aunt Mary, just plain Mary, and occasionally other adaptions that were not really kind. She was a ''character• and I was never quite sure that she understood as little about how people reacted to her as she pretended.
She hadnoinhibitions whatsoever. People would report that they had seen her on the street at 4: 30 in the morning, or that they met her in some town fifty or sixty miles from Lincoln. In all kinds of weather, she made her daily rounds about town.
She was an agile gate-crasher. She was equally at ease (in her plaid coat and low cut tennis shoes) at a wrestling match or at the symphony concert. Sle was a connoi sseu r of public performances, and usually wound up in the front row.
She had aproblem when it came to knowing how to formally address a clergyman. This was a real problem, because she had a special fondness for them. It was sett] ed by simply calling them ''Honey." It was a little disconcerting to be walking cbwn O Street, in the noon rush, and hear her from half a block away trying to attract my attention.
At some point or other I must have reprimanded her for something, because wherever she saw me on a SUnday morning, before the service, she would always come over and whisper, ''I' 11 be a good girl.'' She never left church without telling me, '11oney, I sure love this church.''
Every downtown church has its Mary. They sometimes become a nuisance, and they ·constitute a special kind of problem. People often complain about sitting next to them in church.
Mary almost kept her promise of perfect attendance. Sunday she was in a coma in a local hospital and four days later she died. I know that in heaven ''all things are made new,'' but I express the hope that Mary is allowed to keep a little bit of her unpredictable spontaneity. I'm not worried about her getting in! If there isn't room in Heaven for someone like Mary, they might as well go out of business. In fact, by now she has surely told St. Peter, more than once, ''Honey, I sure love this place.''
Chesnin Goes to Washington; LBJ
Says, 'Butt into Politics'
Gary Chesnin, president of the Nebraska Association of Student Councils, will probably be seen only on ''Cloud Nine'' for the next few weeks. Gary just returned from a seven-day stay in Washington, D.C., wherehe took part in the annual Senate Youth Pro- GARY gram sponsored by the William Randolph Hearst Foundation.
The 102 delegates (2 from each state and 2 from Washington, DC.) who participated in the program, spent one week learning first hand about the United States government.
Gary spent tlB day after his arrival at Washington on January 20 seeing the sights of the city.
Observations of the government began the next day when the delegates visited the Capitol, the Supreme Court, and the House of Representatives.
''Wewere given royal treatment in the House chamber where we held a mock joint session of Congress, and we met Soeaker of the House, John McCormack,'' said Gary.
The following day included a visit to the State Department where the group was addressed by Dean Rusk. Mr. Stuart Simington, the protocol officer, entertained the group there by recalling embarrassing incidents caused by his ignorance of the White House floorplan.
The Senate Youth Program delegates visited the F.B.I. that afternoon, where ''we were astonished by the many
facts and techniques of and crime prevention.'' crime Wednesday, Gary visited the offices of Senator Roman Hruska and Senator Carl Curtis, the two Nebraska senators. At a luncheon with 63 of the senators that day, Vice-President Hubert Humphrey announced that each delegate would receive a $1,000 scholarship from the Hearst Foundation.
The week was highlighted by a visit to Kennedy's grave at Arlington Cemetery and then to the White House, where President Johnson told Gary and the other delegates to "butt into politics.''
Gary says he may just take that advice as he finds he is somewhat interested in this field.
Councif To Present Film:the Antkeeper

The 14th of February, st. Valentine's Day, is one of excitement and gaiety; it is a festival of romance and affection.
Valentine's Day has some significance to each of us because we each have sent or received a valentine. Have you ever wondered just how the custom originated?
The day was named after a Christian martyr, a priest in the realm of Emperor Claudius, of the Roman Empire.
Claudius needed to recruit young men to fight his wars; the young men opposed him because they didn't want to leave their families, wives, or sweethearts. This angered Claudius, so he forbade any marriages and ordered all engagements cancelled.
EXECUTIONORDERED
Valentine thought these tactics were unfair, so he secretly married several couples. This enraged Claudius; he had the priest thro.v n into prison and ordered him to be beheaded. While in prison, Valentine himself fell in love with the jailer's daughter and wrote her letters • signed ''From Your Valentine.'' Thus, Saint Valentine became the patron saint of lovers.
A boost to the custom of exchanging notes of love and affection is believed to have
''Daisy Mae tries to use her feminine wiles and her determination to get what she wants; these are useful techniques for any girl,'' comments Thumbnailer Peg Walkenhorst, concerning her role as Daisy Mae.
She feels that ''the opera will be a lot of fun, and work, but my role is something that will happen just once in a lifetime.''
Peg is active in Peppers and a member of Girls Octet. She enjoys horseback riding and ''rocking out'' in her spare time.
Her pet peeve is ''the grooves in the LHS stairs that kind of 'trip me up once in awhile.'"
Peg's hapJliest moment came when ''al 1 of my friends bought me a big, hairy, stuffed bear when I was sick last semester!''
After graduation Peg plans to attend the University of Nebraska.
Thumbnailer George Osborn is "looking forward to a good opera this year.''
George identifies himself with senator Jack S. Fogbound because of his ''sly and somewhat encouraging characteristics.''
He likes rehearsing for Li'l Abner because ''its fun to be \\0 rking hard 1vith the other cast members toward the same goal-production night."
George is active in Madrigals and Choir, and has participated in Reserve baseball and intramurals.
''Knowing that Monday al ways follows s.inday'' has al ways been his pet peeve.
After graduation George plans to study Electrical Engineering at the University of Nebraska.

Senior Debbie Conklin has been very active in dramatics. She is a member of Mummers and has participated in an all-school play, Joy Night, and now is playing the lead as MammyYokum in Li' 1 Abner.
Debbie's most memorable experience was ''onCentennial Day, last year, when I wore fake pigtails and Steve Voss pulled one off, leaving me with one pigtail and one stub.''
Her pet peeve is ''having my practice judo on me.'' little brother

come from the Roman festival of the Lupercalia which was celebrated in February. This festival honored Juno, the Roman goddess of women and marriage, and Pan, the god of nature. At this time the names of young .vomen were put into a box and drawn out by a young man, to be his valentine.
PAGANTOCHRISTIAN
With the spread of Christianity, churchmen tried to give some Christian meaning to this pagan festival. They substituted the name Saint Valentine's Day for the Lupercalia festival in 496 A. D. Valentine• s Day became popular in the United States about the time of the Civil War. In 1863, a magazine writ:er summed up Valentine's Day when he wrote, ''Indeed, with the exception of Christmas, there is no festival throughout the world which is invested with half the interest belonging to this cherished anniversary.''

It may appear that Judy Schleiger has gone back to playing with dollhouses but actually she is trying her hand at interior decorating as a class project in Home Planning.
The idea came from Mrs. Doris Brown, the class instructor, who suggested it when Judy was puzzled as to what to do for a project.
Beginning with her favorite shade--orange, as her central color, Judy coordinated the rest of the scheme to go with it. The whole project took two weeks to complete.
Although Judy is not especially interested in interior decorating as a career, she sa-ys she ''enjoyed doing the project very much.'' From this experience, she felt that she had learned the importance

Two free throws by Charlie Moore with 30 seconds left gave Lincoln High a 57-56 victory over sixth-ranked Pius X, February 9, at Pershing Auditorium.
The Links, who will meet the Thunderbolts in the first round action of district play, led by three points at halftime, 26-23, and led the way through most of the second half, until Pius took the lead 56-53, with two minutes left in the game.
Jay Weyers then canned one from the top of the key with 1:10 left, to make the score 56-55. This set the stage • for Moore's game-w1nn1ng free throws.
Joe Casmer again led the Links scoring with 25 points; Dan McCauleyand Bryan Grosscup each collected 10.
PLATTERS FALL TO LINKS
Sparked by the outside shooting of Bryan Grosscup and the hustling of Jay Weyers, Lincoln High defeated North Platte 61-57, February 3 at Johnson Gym.
The game was much closer than expected as the spirited Bulldogs played even ball with the Links throughout the whole game. At the end of the third quarter the score was all tied up, 46-46.
With 1: 43 left in the game, Dan McCauley sank two free throws to make it 57-53, Links favor. But· North Platte tied it up again with two quiGk baskets.
It was now Weyer' s turn for heroics. With 14 seconds left he rebounded his own missed shot and connected for the goahead two points.
Grosscup found the range for 12 fieJd goals to pace the Links with 25 points. McCauley ended up with 13, Charlie Moore had JO, and Weyers 8
SOUTHEASTDEFEATS LINKS
Three turnovers in the fourth quarter made the difference as Lincoln Southeast defeated Lincoln High 65-58, February 2, at Pershing Auditorium.
The victory gave Southeast the city championship with a record of 6-0 and one game to play; Lincoln High is second with a 3-2 city record and two games to play.
Different from the first encounter, where Southeast won 65-48, in the second game the Links stayed close up until the end of the third quarter.
However, with three minutes gone in the fourth quarter the Links threw the ball away three times. The Knights converted the mistakes into six points giving them their biggest lead of the game, 5650. Southeast then elected to go i1;to a delay game and the victory was assured.
Bryan Grosscup was the · leader for the Links with 23 points; Joe Casmer had 14.
The Lincoln High Reserves avenged an earlier loss to the Southeast Reserves, defeating them 55-42, to boost their record to 8-3.
Ron
was high with 15 points; Kirk Sayre added 9.
Lincoln High made it a successful basketball road trip, de feating Grand Island 79-67, January 27, at Grand Island.
The Links, starting off very strong, built up a lead of 27 points in the first half.
In the third quarter the Islanders found the range and pulled within two points, 65-63.
However, with the aid of ,ToeCasmer, the Links finished strong to wipe out all hopes of victory for Grand Island.
Balanced scoring was the keynote of Lincoln High's offense, as Dan McCauley and Bryan Grosscup each scored 19; Charlie Moorehad 17, and Joe Casmer 16.
BOYSTOWNSLIPS BY 56-55
Playing perhaps one of its best games of the year, Lincoln High lost a squeaker to Boystown, 56-55, January 26 at Johnson Gym.
The Links led all the way through the third quarter, but the defense weakened and the Cowboys finally caught up.
With 39 seconds left in the game, Bryan Grosscup sank a free-throw to put the Links down by one, 56-55. In the last 29 seconds Lincoln High had the ball two separate times but missed both gamewinning attempts.
Joe Casmer led the scoring with 24 points, Dan McCauley added 13. Links while
Grapplers Capture Districts, ·second in Trans-Nebraska
Links matman were defeated by the Knights of Lincoln Southeast by only 12 points as they captured a secondplace in the Trans-Nebraska Wrestling Meet held at the Lincoln Northeast Gymnasium January 27.
Lincoln High won over five other Nebraska high schools: Hastings, 24; Northeast, 42; East High, 43; Grand Island, 48; North Platte, 69 The Links were stopped by Lincoln Southeast, 86-74.
Again the Links outstanding team member was Bob Orta who took the 103-pound championship, grappling in the style he showed last year when he won the 95-pound state title.

Lincoln High is NumberOne. That's fine you say, but what does it real Jy mean? NumberOne in what?
Being Number One in fo~tball or swimming, for example, 1s a very special honor, of course. But championships in sports are not the only phase of school 1 ife; not al 1 students are included here.
The idea of being Number One involves many things. It means more than exce 11 i ng as ath 1etes, scho 1ars, or artists. Instead, it means that every student, no matter what his talents takes pride in his school. He must'work to made it NumberOne-through his studies, his activities, and his actions.
A necessary factor is having respect for tradition, and for the building itself. Guests are impressed by a c 1ean, we11-organ i zed schoo 1 and the condition of the physical plant just naturally reflects on the students. Whether or not you want a Number One schoo 1 is shown by the way you treat the school. Do you degrade it by writing on walls and desks? Do you kick your 1ocker or 1eav~ chewInggum in the drinking fountains?
Out of respect for the thousands of students and teachers now, or former1y connected with Lincoln High, p·lease help to keep it Number One. Don't shame others by your thoughtless acts. If you believe that the 'linKs are King''--show it in everything you do. Each of us must go a 1 ittle out of his way to achieve this goal. Howabout you--have you done your part?
Way to Go, Alex!
A very importantpart of the moderncommunicationssystem of today is the telephone. Calls can be madefromnearly anywhere--froman airplane or a car, or from ship to shore. A telephone call, w~ichmay cost on1y a few cents, can save 11ves 111 an emergency,bring far-away.loved on~s closer together, or play a maJor role rn the numeroustransactions involved in everydaybusiness.
These services were not always so. Just a 1ittle less than 100years ago, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Since then, the total numberof phoneshas increased steadily until today there are more that 1q2,000,000 instruments in use throughoutthe world.
Thetelephone has comefar--from the one that connected two roomsin 1876, to the phonesof today that span the oceans.

Of Teen Conversation
In consideration of Alexander G. Bell's birthday, The Advocate polled LI-ISstudents. They answered questions concernirig tlif!ir family's policy withthephone, the - length of their calls, and the average number of calls per evening.
''M.Yparents gave U!>arguing with us kids and gave us our own line. Now we handle any disagreemen .ts . about use of the telephone between our,:x, selves,'' com- /;;' mented Freve Pace, junior. ''I usually make FREVE about three calls per night."
''Before I
ROB got my private line, my parents ljmitedme to two calls a night. I could only talk 20 minutes and I ·had to whisper or get kicked off!'' noted Rob Shaner, senior. ''With my own line I once played a four-hour game of chess. 1 usually make six calls per night.''
"Use it while you can until someone else comes up with a better excuse than yo11rs and makes you hang up,'' is the · policy at junior Jim Witts t ru c k ' s He usually makes five-ten calls per evening.

''Use it only 10 minutes per call and don't accept any collect calls is our policy, '' commented Nancy Pappas, sophomore, ''though once I extended it to three hours!'' She usu ally makes
A Very Phone-y Deal
On a day in March in 1877, a young man by the name of Alexander Graham Bell, spoke through a machine to an associate in an adjoining room, and the telephone came into being. Since then, the telephone has progressed far and is today a very important part of our elaborate communications system. The history of the development and use of this marvelous invention is in itself an interesting story; however, this narrative is concerned orily with a few vital aspects of the telephone today.
Probably everyone, at one time or another, has received a long-distance call. In other words, just as you get in the bathtub, the phone rings and you have to race the ''long distance'' downstairs to answer it. And what person hasn't been overjoyed when informed, via the telephone, that he or she has just won a wonderful, free prize, like a set of encyclopedias, or an all "-expense-paid vacation to the North Pole!
Yet, with all its good qualities, there a re some drawbacks to the us e of the telephone, such as being on a party line. If you are on such a line, this can become quite frustrating, unless, of course, you enjoy going to all those wild parties! Another topic, over which there has been much recent controversy, is the ''bugging" of telephones, a tactic employed by many federal agencies and suspicious mothers. To combat this, it is suggested that each telephone subscriber, keep a can of insect spray near his phone, for just such an emergency.
If you were to pause and pick up your telephone, you could reach almost anyone in any part of the globe-----if your arm were long enough! seriously though, the telephone can be used to talk wi th people nearly every where. There are more than 76 million miles of wire-----enough to reach from the earth to the moon and back again more than 150 times-----but this is rather useless since there is no one on the moon to talk to.
In conclusion, and with the preceding facts in mind, it is probably quite clear to all of us that the telephone is truly a great invention and should be made use of regularly-----as if a lot or us didn't already use it pretty regularly. So in this month of the 91st anniversary of the i11vention of the telephone, it seems appropriate that each of us should go to our phones and call someone.

Can you imagine living in a world where stairs are impossible to climb, cupboards and shelves are too high to reach and other such facilities are beyond your use?
A handicapped person experiences just such limitations many times during each day of his life. For the handicapped homemaker with small children the feeling of helplessness is twice as great.

From Sports to SongsCall Him Mr. Versatile
FREDNEWCOMER
Versatile is probably the mo~t appropriate word for describing Fred Newcomer's talents--he is apt at everything, from composing to wrestling!
Fred has composed four musical pieces and has preformed two of them at Orpheons meetings. He plays and composes on the piano. Most of his music is memorized and not put down on paper. Modern music is Fred's favorite. He doesn't really have a favorite modern composer but he would like to learn more about the construction of this type of music.
Fred also enjoys many classical composers; his favorite is Franz Liszt because of Liszt' s impressionistic approach to music. Chopin is a cl.ose second followed by Debussy and Tschaikovsky.
Along with composing, Fred fills his time with Sophomore football, Reserve wrestling, and writing poetry.
"The absence of unnecessary regulations" is the thing Fred likes best about Lincoln High. His pet peeve is taking notes in class. After graduating from Lincoln High he has no definite plans.

To most people the 1n1tials NFL bring to mind a group of huge, tough men whose business it is to make money off football.
To Lincoln High debaters, however, the NFL means something quite different. It means the National Forensic League, an honorary speech organization whose purpose it is to promote an interest in debate and speech activities.
The NFL recently honored two Lincoln High School students, Gary Schleiger and Otris Ryan, by awarding them the Degree of Distinction for receiving 250 points as members of their organization.
Points are awarded on the basis of tournaments attended, debates won and lost, and places taken in individual events. For receiving this honor Gary and Chris have earned NFL pins, seals, and certificates of Distinction, plus a scholarship to Rat>OnCollege of Minnesota.
Fbr every NFL point earned past the 250 they now have, they will receive one dollar more per year toward the four-year scholarship.

DECA, Distributive Education Clubs of America, is "making a go" at Lincoln High School. The purpose of the new club is to promote leadership among those students who are planning to enter the field of marketing.
At present the clu..b is small and because of its late organizational start,it is, at this time, state but not nationally affiliated. "We have high hopes for next year, however," commented Mr. Jerry Gruber, Lincoln High sponsor. "By then we should have our feet on the ground and really get something started."

School Publications Continue To Grow
As Years Go By
The Advocate, the newspaper, The Links, the yearbook, and the Scribe, a literary magazine, make up the three LHS publications.
The first interest in publishing a school paper was aroused in 1895 when a meeting was held and a committee of five boys was appointed to publish the first school newspaper. This appeared in March, 1895, in the form of an eightpage journal.
NAMECHOSEN
The Advocate, the Trumpet, the Voice, the Tatler, and the Echo were all considered as names for the paper. The Advocate won over the Echo by one vote.
For the next four years The Advocate progressed slowly due to a lack of literary assistance and a small subscription list. The students expected The Advocate to exist on its own without much support!
In 1899, it was easier to secure advertising than readers. Only 150 subscriptions were sold at the beginning of the year.
FIRST ANNUALIN 1899
The first school annual was published by the Class of 1899 followed by a second in 1905. The first Links appeared in 1917. Previous to this time a special Advocate issue with pictures of the senior class served as the year book.
The Ser ibe of today is much like the first Scribe published in 1930. It contains essays, short stories, and poems written by students.

Links gymnastics went all the way March 2, taking the 1968 state high school gymnastics title at Johnson Gym, by breaking Northeast' s three year winning streak.
Lincoln High came up with 125 points, leaving their nearest contender, Southeast in a cloud of chalk, with 75% points. Defending champions from Northeast finished sixth in a field of 21 sct1ools.
Floating on the free-ex. floor for the Links was second place man, Jim Gump; and Jeff Johnson, fifth.
On the side horse it wa~ Vic McWilliams spinning all the way to second place honors with Jim Ellis only one step behind in third. Jim Guest also finished the season with eighth place distinction.
After John 'tilts stepped up to the parallel bars for first place, the Links began to move, and Marty Tilts got tenth, to put at least two Links in every event up for awards.

Bow To Bolts Finish Season 10-7
A late fourth-quarter rally gave Pius X a victory over Lincoln High, 65-60, in the semi-finals of the District Basketball Tourney, February 29, at Pershing Auditorium.
In the first half it was all Lincoln High as the Links shot ahead 7-1 in the opening minutes and continued to hold the lead at the intermission, 29-24,
The third quc:1,rter was more of the same as Lincoln High still held the lead, but by a narrow two points, 45-43.
It looked as though the Links were all set for victory. With four minutes re-· maining in the game, they held a six-point advantage, 58-52. But the roof fell in as the Thunderbolts, with the aid of Jim Regelean, came back to tie it up with 2:.47 remaining.
Regelean sank a foul shot 30 seconds later and Pius was not to be headed.
It was the last game for four Lincoln High seniors,
Joe Casmer scored 21, Char1 ie Moore had 16, Dan McCauley 10, and Bryan Grosscup added 6.
PACKERSUPSET LINKS
Lincoln High, plagued by poor shooting, lost a disappointing basketball game to Omaha south at Norris Junior High Gym, February 23.
Both teams had a hard time shifting out of low gear as the half-time score was only 16-15, in favor of the Packers.
But it was the fourth quarter that made the difference as South came alive to build a lead of 11 points.
The Links finished the game shooting at a 28 per cent clip, while South wasn't much better at 35 per cent.
This, the last regular season game for the Links, left them.10-6 for the season going into district play.
Leading the Links scoring was Joe Casmer with 16 points; Dan McCauley followed with 14.

Straddling first spot on the side-horse again was Vic McWilliams, followed by Jim Ellis, second, and Jim Guest, third.
TOPKNIGHTS IN DISTRICTS
''Just gritting their teeth and working harder when the chips are down'' was all Coach Phil Sprague had to say concerning Lincoln High' s 73point victory score in the District Gymnastics meet held February 23, at the Northeast High gymnasium. other teams in the competition were Southeast, 53; Northeast, 26; and East High with two points.
The free exercise floor saw Jeff Johnson stretch out
Mike Gorka and Tim Howell swung around the high bar for third and fourth places, respectively, in the event.
Again it was the duo of Tilts and Tilts who copped first and third places atop the parallel bars.
Second place Mike Gorka, and fourth place Dan Kapke, manned the still-rings to send the Links well on their way to the 1968 District Gymnastics crown.
Filling out a fifth place in tumbling was Russell Ellis; Johnson assured the Links victory, by fiipping himself to a first place.

Gymnastics, the sport in which he lettered, is his favorite because ''.it is a sport which has individual competition.'' Participation in sports has taught him ''sportsmanship and a strong sense of team responsibility.''
His most memorable experience came when he took a first place in tumbling this year; falling flat on his face during a meet was his most embarrassing moment.
''The variety of sports for which you can go out and the fine coaching staff'' is what Rick likes most about Lincoln High School.
His future plans include working for a printer.
Attending the University of Nebraska is in the plans of DanKapke, whohas lettered two years in Gymnastics.
Dan, who enjoys lifting weights, likes the sports program at Lincoln High because ''it keeps alot of boys from dropping out of school and gives them a chance to prove themselves.''
Placing in the state meet last year, when Lincoln High finished second, one-half point above two other schools ' rates as his most memorable experience, while forgetting his free-exercise routine as a sophomore was his most embarrassing.
His advice to underclassmen is ''participate in some sport if you can because its alot of fun and you can make alot of friends!''

It' s coming! What' s coming? The Advocate staff's big contest is coming! What kind of a contest is it? A BEANcontest! What's a BEANcontest?
A JELLY BEAN contest, of course! The question is "How many BEANSare coming?"

"It is hoped that the $1500 goal will be reached by collecting stamp books between April 1-11," said John Madison, AFS committee chairman.
Stamp books should be taken to homeroom classes where a certificate, which entitles the donor tc an admission to the dance, will be given. CC points will be awarded to the two classes contributing the most stamps.
IOU' s promising stamp books, as well as cash donations will be welcomed. Both should be turned in to Mr. Harry Kuklin, Room201.

Voting at 19?
Yes ...
A democracy such as ours is deemed to be ruled by the ruled. Such democracies base their rule upon the acceptance and practice of the principles of equal rights and opportunities for all men. ·
Are these rights being upheld in Nebraska?
·roday' s 19-year-o l d Nebraskans are meeting and fulfilling important res pon s i b i l i t i es f o r t hemse l ves and their government. For all practical purposes, they are expected to actively conduct themselves as adults in today's society.
Many are attending Nebraska's fine universities and colleges for their first and second years. Even fllore are helping support the state's fine labor force, occupying positions of leadership and initiative. Others are married and heads of families.
Whyshouldn't these educated, pro- ductive young adults between the ages of 19 and 21 have representation in their own government?
By the age of 19, most young adults have graduated from high school and have comp1eted their two years of requi red !1overnmental studies. Manyare furthering their educations in institutions of higher learning.
Oneof ten wonders if many of today I s active voters are as well-informed as these 19 and 20-year-olds? Why should these voters be able to select representatives for today's equally informed 19 and 20-year-olds. Does age determine knowledge?
In today's complex world the average high school student is expected to learn twice as much as his parents did and therefore should be considered responsible enough to take an active position in our governmental processes.
They work; they pay taxes; they die to protect our democracy, and all without r..epresentation! 1~ thi~ d9mocr:.ti c?

Today's youth, although they claim to be smarter than the youth of past generations, are not ready to vote at the ripe old age of 19 years. This responsibility belongs only to the mature person who is capable of makLng sound decisions.
True, many teenagers may be prepared now to vote, whereas many persons over 21 are not and never will be. This, however, does not change the fact that at 19, most of us are just emerging from the security of high school and entering an unknown, complex world. We are about to experience real independence from our family and now is the time for personal growth and development. Idea 11y this is a period to find one's identity. So how can we, who are searching for our own place, decide what is right for the country?
Then, too, how can we make a truly unbiased decision? Teens are often too easily influenced by outward appearances. A youthful-looking candidate, for example, with more mag- netism than an older candidate, could easily win our votes. Urifortunately, we often fail to delve beneath the surface of a person or issue.
But what of the boys in the service w~o must ri~k dying for our country without having a vote in its elec~ions? The requisites for a private 1n the army are not necessarily the same as for a conscientious voter. Yes, it does seem unfair that a few must fight while the rest of us live in safety. But this injustice won't be righted by lowering the voting age.
Maturity doesn I t i ust happen at age 21, but it's more probable than at 19. So whynot keep the voting age at 21, and let youth experience these two additional, important years of l i fe?
Then later, as young adults~ we can supply society with our wealth of vitality, ideal ism, and strength.

(Ed. Note: This is the first of two articles dealing with cycle safety. )
The medic sighed as the shattered body of the young man was wheeled into the operating room No, he is not a soldier dragged from a battle-torn jungle in Vietnam, but an unfortunatedragged from the wreckage of shattered metal that once was a motorcycle.
While this grim picture is not absolutely typical of motorcycle accidents, a Cleveland surgeon has said that ~nost of these injuries resemble limb-shattering war wounds "
Of course it is not what one rides as much as how he rides it that is dangerous. There are many rules of safety one should learn if he plans to ride a cycle. The death toll from motorcycle accidents is heading for epidemic proportions. Fatalities numbered 2,160 last year, along with an estimated 200,000 injury accidents.
The number of motorcycle registrations, which has doubled in the past three years, is expected to increase by 2.5 million each year It takes no expert to analyze the reason for the increase in deaths!
CANNUMBERBE CUT?
How can this tragic rateof fatalities be slowed? Since most cycle accidents involve inexperienced riders, better education in the art of cycling would seem to be in order; however, at present there is no place for beginners to receive instruction. Dealers offer only minimum tutoring.
The most likely place for such instruction, it would seem, is in the driver education classes of high schools where teachers, students, and facilities are readily available. Although
experimental courses with motorcycle safety have proven highly beneficial, very few programs are in operation.
Special examinations and licenses have been suggested by experts as another way to improve cycling safety. In most states motorcycles may be operated with automobile licenses; however, it takes a different set of skills to operate a motorcycle
GERMANBEGAN IT!
The first successful motorbike was made by Diemler, a German inventor, about 1900 and ·before long the fullsized motorcycles of today were on the roads. However, it wasn't until 1960 that the two wheelers' popularity really boomed in America.
Whythe great popularity of motorcycles in recent years? They have numerous good characteristics: there · is a size for everyone; they are convenient; they are easy to handle-able to go when other traffic is stopped; and they are easily parked, anywhere. They are economical, being inexpensive in all phases- · initial cost, gas, and maintenance. In addition, they offer fun and pleasure.
The motorcycle is shaking off its reputation as the vehicle of "the wild ones." With the greater choices in sizes of machines, one will find that cycle enthusiasts now include housewives as well as the Hell's Angels

"Don' t take advantage of every opportunity you have as a senior, or you will never' make graduation!" is Linda Walker's advice to underclassmen.
She is chairman of Lincoln Teen Age Republicans, a member of Mummers, and a Peppers sqti ad 1 eader.
To improve LHS, she'd "have the janitors stop locking the doors to the activities building at 4: 00."
Linda's first reaction to a motorcylce ride was "FEAR-· that I woukd get several toes torn off in the spokes or that I would fall off!" Cycles are fun to ride once in awhile, but I'd rather be safe Following graduation she will attend the University of Nebraska.

Lower Voting Age? Seniors Vote 'Yes'
On November 5 of this year, Nebraska voters will cast their votes either for or against Amendment No. 1 which deals with lowering the Nebraska voting age to 19
Senior home room classe s were recently polled for student opinion on this Amendment. Although the seniors will not be able to cast their ballots for or against lowering the voting age, they were given the opportunity to express their opinions. In a four-·to-one majority, the students supported the lowered voting age. Most supported changing the Nebraska voting age to 19, although some favored age 18. One person advocated lowering the age to 16. Seniors expressed the following opinions on AmendmentNo. 1 :
''Young adults are capable citizens and could contribute much to the leadership of the state \Ye, at 19, know more about politics and government than most of our parents knew at 21."
''By the medium of TV and radio.students have , I think, quite an opinion about· what is going on, and, for that reason, would be able to vote."
·~ don• t think a majority of the teenagers are that much informed as to the situations of the state and country to have a say so. I know I am not Also, I think that the teenager is not ready as yet to make a decision of such great importance."

JoyNight: Link Tradition
Teenagers in 1925 weren't was formulated and these much different from teenagers basic ideals have persisted of 1968. Energetic, restless, throughout the 43 years of eager to "do something" seek- annual productions. ing a break from school fatigue and eager to show their talents, they came up with the idea of producing a J oy Night.
Not only did teacher8 and administration approve, they decided they, too, wanted to get into the picture. Thus, Joy Night's original purpose
MILLER'S YOUNGFASHIONFUTURES
Young fashions for spring, 1968, begin a new premise: it's not a plastered look, but rather the clothes cooperating with the body. Clothes hug--but fluidly-in a totally new kind of body-consciousness. This means mor e wa istline emphasis, a snugger fit to the bodies and a bounce to the skirts. There's a more thoughtful look to spring clothes for the young. This spring heralds a certain sobriety to young fashions. They' re cool, without being overjazzed - -they' re new, withought being too noisy-they' re pretty without being insipid.
One thing that definitely won' t change is the "everything goes together" idea. We' re in a fashion era where the clothes, the accessories, and the leg don't separate. It's one element all the W<ty. You can't divorce the short skirts from the clothed leg--or the clunky-heeled shoe.

Steve Allen, industrial arts student, recently completed a project involving a specialized skill--carving.
He first became interested in this field in grade school but never really did anything big until he got to Lincoln High. In his sophomore year he won first place in the Kearney Industrial Arts with a spiral carved lamp.
The carving of a gazelle came about when Rev. J. Ford Forsyth, First Plymouth Congregational Church, received a package containing two African primitive gazelles he had purchased during a trip to Nairobi. A horn on one was broken; Rev. Forsyth asked Mr. Jim Joyner, LHS industrial arts instructor, for help. Mr. Joyner suggest-, ed that Steve try his hand at repairing the piece.
* * Steve was so impressed with the carving that he decided to reproduce one for himself. The workmanship was of such excellence that Mrs. Connie Beureter, LHS art teacher, sent the piece to the Scholastic Art Awards showing in Omaha.
The gazelle is made of native walnut with a Danish oil finish. The work took approximately three weeks to complete.
To show his appreciation, Rev. Forsyth in a sermon entitled Right Hand and Left Hand, noted, "Weowe to ourselves and to others what we can contribute with our right hand Alert to the possibilities of his (Steve's) skil 1, he used it, fulfil ling his own capacities and giving pleasure to others."

Concerning Vietnam Kennedy said that in working for a negotiated settlement, Americans must ''face the fact, whether we 1 ike it or not , '' that the National Liberation Front (Viet Cong) must be included in discussions. At this point, some scattered boos were heard and one heck1 er yelled, ''BombHanoi!"
Kennedy answered this opposition by saying, ''Unless you kill every one of them, including the womenand children, you are going to have to deal with them.'' The majority of the crowd evidently agreed with him as his reply drew" a wave of applause
Although not all who attended the talk went away convinced, Hans 0. Jensen of Aurora, co-chairman of the Ne~raska Kennedy-for-President organization, summed up the general audience reaction with, ''He wowed 'em!"

Ode to a Man of Peace
The King is dead! nie King is dead!
And the earth should tremble, with fear and dread
Our tears should flow, and our cold hearts should meet
For a loss so great is not often felt.
one who lives for Man's cause is too seldom known
Let alone a man, with the courage to stand alone!
He marched on the highways; he marched in the streets
In search of the justice, now far from his reach!
A giant in the face of vile bigotry!
A skyscraper of a man, in word, thought, and deed!
He needed no weapons; no sticks, rocks, or guns, His words were as strong as the rays of the sun.
He spoke out for freedom; he spoke out for peace
But spoke one time too many-and his life lost its lease.
His non-violent dreams for the North, and the South were shattered~by a solitary bullet
Not far from his mouth.
King, who knew not the difference between white or black was not killed by one man; or by one single act
But by all men who hate, and are ruled by this fact!
King was not al ways wrong, and not al wa.v&right
But he strove in his way to turn darkness to light
A great mannas die·d; we must pay the cost.
Let us all search our souls for the love too-long lost!
Though death now has come to the King with much pain, Will men ever live in brotherhood?
Or did the King die in vain?

Watch It!
This issue of The Advocate carries the last of a two-part article on motorcyle safety. The series has value only if it has alerted cyclists to the dangers of irresponsible driving. Remember--don' t letyour exuberance run away with you; keep your head. Above all--keep both wheels on the ground!
Only i. You Make It So
(Ed Note: fhis is the second, and last, article on motorcycle safety. The material was compiled from current magazines and books by Bruce Clawson.)
The motorcycle has some advantages over cars. The rider has unlimited visibility and ease of handling, 1 esser stopping time and distance, fuller commandof the controls because of their p.osi tioning, and more driver alertness due to steady flow of air over the face which keeps the operator awake.
However, its small size makes the bike hard to see and it has inferior stabi 1i ty which leaves the rider vulnerable. Many mistakes made in a car that can be righted or are of minor consequence can be disasterous on a twowheeler.
Cycling safety is a combination of many things: learning to operate a bike is easy, learning good riding habits is the hard part. 'The rider must be in good physical condition. He should wear protective clothing, keep his machine in A-1 mechanical condition, and be an expert in recognizing traffic hazards. He must be more alert, observant, and defensive than an automobile driver.
Because he is small and not easily seen, he must drive with the assumption that he isn't seen and that he never has the right of way because even when he does, he seldom gets it. He must beware of cars changing lanes and backing out. He must take special caution at intersections, that's where 70 per cent of all motorcycle accidents occur. Anticipation by the cyclist is a key part of his staying intact!
There are two major kinds of motorcycle accidents-skidding and swerving, and
Fashion, as defined by the dictionary, is ''a style of dress favored at a particular time.'' A specific fashion may last several years or only a fewjllonths.Astylemay be the latest rage in the spring, on the wane in the fall, and completely out-dated by the following season.
Of the three objectives of dress design-to attract persons of the opposite sex, to express social superiority, and to protect .the body-the (irst is obviously the most important factor.
Every style reflects a way of life and every change in fashion is a result of a change in the way of living.
REVOLUTION IN MANYAREAS
Since the 19th century was a period of revolution in government and economics, it was also a period of revolution in fashion.
Women for the first time were leaving the home and participating in community activities. They needed a freer, simpler-style of clotlr ing more suited to the times.
This simplicity was found in the empire-waist dress of 1794 to 1821. Petticoats and corsets were discarded and a high-waisted, tunic-dress, known as the ''Grecian,'' in France, was adopted. From 1794 to 1804 "trains'' were considered stylish. For street wear the proper length was six yards, although for
collisions. The skid occurs when the rear wheel is suddenly stopped, as when the rider brakes improperly or something gets in the spokes; the swerve comes when control of the bike is lost. Injuries from simple spills are usually minor if protective clothing is worn.
In a collision, when something is hit head on, the injury is most often serious; experts advise that it is usually better to ''lay the bike down and slide, being careful to keep on the topside when the machine is down.''
In any event, it is exsential always to wear protective clothing, which means leather jeans, jacket, and boots, and a really good helmet. The headgear may be most important of all, as 71per cent of the fatalities are from head injuries. In states that require helmets by law, fatalities were cut by 75 per cent. Nebraska had a helmet law last year which was repealed.
The cyclist should not be concerned about the cost-one has to pay good money to get good equipment.
A word of caution to passengers, who are just as vulnerable as the driver and who also need protective ,clothing: never ride side saddle; straddle the seat and hang on tightly to the driver, your arms clasped around his waist.
Make yourself part of the n1acl1ine, that is, sit relaxed and let him do all the balancing, whether turning or while stopped at a light. Trying to help doesn't help.
Cycling can be safe and fun, if you ride as if your life depends on it. It does!
more formal occasions 1t was lengthened to 14 yards.
ANKLESBARED!
In 1804, skirts were raised so the feet were visible, and in 1810 the ankles were bared! As the skirts became shorter, they also widened at the hem.
This led to the be 11-shaped skirt of 1830 to 1867. The waistline was dropped back to normal and corsets were tighter than ever before. The skirt remained at a daring ankle length until 1835, when it again dropped to the floor.
This was the style at the end of the 19th century but few women were satisfied for long. The early 20th century brought the Gibson Girl, the Flapper, followed by the Mod of today.
Frommidi to mini, designers have gone to every length to satisfy a woman's urge to look fashionable. Any guess on what the girl of tomorrow will wear, no matter how outlandish----\\Ould probably be correct.

Psychiatrist Speaks to Juniors

"Staying mentally fit is as important as being physically fit. The general rnental heal th of teenagers has declined,
but it is hard to find exact causes for the decline,'' said Dr. Kenney.
He theorized that part of the decline at least could be attributed to drug abuses. ''No matter Miat drug is used in excess, or for hallucinating, if it does not effect the body physically, it wi 11 affect the psyche.''

Although Dave has participated in both Reserve football and Varsity track, he enjoys track better because ''it gives you a lot of personal satisfaction.'' He also takes part in the intramurals program.
In addition to his athletic interests, singing takes up much of his time as he is a member of Choir and Boys Octet.
Taking the State Shot Put Championship last year rates as his most memorable experience.
His most embarrassing experience occurred when the coaches put him in as halfback in a Reserve football game.
Dave believes that ''in sports you have to push yourself. Some mderclassmen don't realize this fact until it is too late to do anything about it.''
In the future for Dave is attending the University of Nebraska or Kearney State College.

41 Candidates Enter Student Council Race
General Election Slated for April 25
Lincoln High School sophomores and juniors will vote for next year's Student Council representatives in an April 25 general election. Booths will be set up in the hal 1 in front of the cafeteria, and voting will be supervised by Council members before and after school and during the lunch hour.
Fromthe 41 semifinalists, eight juniors and 12 seniors will be elected, the number to be equally divided between girls and boys. The winners will be notified by phone Thursday evening.
''We' re urging all juniors and sophomores to vote.'' says Student Council president, Tim Shaw. ''The Council is only as good as the members.''
The first duty of the new representatives will be to attend the Student Council-sponsored party for
Gary Worster looks on as Frank Mitchell casts his ballot. Student Council members, Bruce Henricks and Kathie Brauer, supervise the voting. Westview Home. They will also attend summer Council meetings.
During the school year, the Council meets regularly at 8: 00, Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Each member receives two hours credit per semester.
Sponsors are Mrs. Jean Fenner and Mrs. Sarah Bates.
Kathy Amen is running for student Council because she feels it gives her the chance to help better communications between the students and the faculty. In her own words, ''Communication between the students and the faculty must be improved. Council must consider the wants of both, and take action.•• KATHY Kathy thinks Student Council should have more freedom to decide on activities for the school and it shouldn't be afraid to go to the administration with ideas. She says, ''If re-elected, I will do my best to consider and act on the ideas of the student body.''
''I amrunning for student Council because I have a great interest and respect for Lincoln High and its student government. '' Chris Borgens wants to be a -part of this government in order to serve the student body in every way possible. Past experiences with student government and ideas she has for making Council more effective for reasons for placing her.
Gary Chesnin hopes his actions in the past have proven him worthy of another term on student Council.
CHRIS everyone are confidence in
As a member she would strive to help Council reach out to all students through more activities. She feels that council is the guiding hand to get things started.
As a senior member of Council, Gary would strive to improve the communication between the students and the Student Counci 1. Seeing a need for some revisions and evaluations of Council projects, Gary hopes to replace the GARY old with the new. In addition, Gary endorses the idea of Council having open forums and regular activities in the Little Theater. In this area, council could hear first hand the opinions of the students, while at the same time making use of the theater for varied activities.
Your Vote Counts
The general election for Student Council, to be held tomorrow, can be one of two things: a popularity contest, or a true evaluation of each candidate's merits with the election based on sol id rather than superficial qualifications.
The present members of Student Council sincerely hope it will be the latter. To assist voters in making wise decisions and to insure a successful el ect1 on, the Council has compiled each candidate's views and qualifications in a special issue of The Advocate. Its purpose is to make the candidates known so voters may make comparisons and choose the best representatives.
Student governments function as a service to all students. They should be a sounding board for new ideas, and al ink between faculty and students. Properly selected, members of the student gov- ernmentcanwork with the faculty and administration to create a better school.
But a Student Council needs the support of all the students. Without this support, it is not an accurate, representative group, and its chances are limited as far as carrying out the wishes of the students.
To make Lincoln High's Student Council into an effective instrument of all students, each reg- istered voter must vote. If students do not take an interest in the affairs of the Council, they have no right later to criticize the Council's actions and decisions.
To have a better student government, take the first step-VOTE! Evaluate the candidates, choose the best representatives, and then support them.
SC Looks to Future, Reflects on Past Year
Where would the school actually be without the seldom-,mention.ed student Council? It would be without a major communication link between the student body and the administration.
COUNCIL'STHREEFUNCTIONS
The Student Council's three important functions are to carry the problems and wishes of the students to the administration, to put into action the students' ideas, and to sponsor projects for the benefit of the student body as a whole.
Major plans for next year include the Kick-off Dance, the Homecoming dance, and the Leadership Workshop. In addition, the Council will attempt to better student-faculty relations by giving • two faculty teas.
Selling athletic programs, pencils, folders, decals, and pompoms will continue to provide means for the Council to serve students.
SEEKSUGGESTIONS
The student Council will remain available to carry out any good ideas and projects that are brought to their attention by the student body. students can communicate with the council through the suggestion box in the cafeteria, through their Home Room Representatives, or through the student Council members themselves, who are elected to represent the entire student body.
''The student Council is only as good as the support given it by the stuoo nt body," says Tim Shaw, student Council president. ''Cooperation is the key to an effective Student Council, so if everyone will get in there and pull together,, there is no limit for what the future holds.''
When asked why he was running for Student Council, Grant Colling replied, ''I would be proud to be-

Grant stated, "'The class of 1969 can be one of the greatest in the history of Lincoln High School if we all put our minds to it and work hard."
er. He is extremely interested in improving the communications between the Student Council and the student body. He wants ''the students to know that there is more to student government than putting on dances.'' Allen ALLEN feels that perhaps communications could be bettered by posting the minutes of the meetings and the treasurer's reports. Allen urges everyone to vote. "Last year there was a tie that anyone's vote could have broken. Remember, your vote is as important as the next guy's."
everyone. This is the view of junior Jan Dutton, who hopes to use her own fresh ideas in representing the student body. Jan realizes that she can' t revolutionize the system, but she pledges her ability and help in any ac- JAN tivity that Council may sponsor. Jan feels a morning flag raising might be a different approach to beginning the day. ''I want to find out about Lincoln High," said Jan. "Student Counci 1 seems to be the center of activity, and the best 1 place to accomplish this desire."

In the Middle Ages, May Day was celebrated in English villages by decorating the homes and Germany, a May pine was planted beneath the windows of the girls by their boyfriends. (I hope Doris doesn't expect me to lug a tree over to her house.) Czechoslovakian girls awoke to find Maypoles outside their windows, placed there the night before by their beaus.
In the United States the Puritans frowned on May Day, which isn't surprising since they frowned on just about every other day of the year, too. That's why May Day is not celebrated with the same enthusiasm here as it is in Europe.
In 1877, the Socialist parties of the world selected May first as a day when working people could show unity by holding demonstrations. In Russia, May Day is a national holiday and is celebrated with speeches by communist leaders, military parades, and other forms of light-hearted frolic.
Aha! A communist plot! I suspected as much. A thing like this wouldn't be going on if Joe McCarthy were still around. I can see it all now! As I'm placing my May basket on Doris' porch, a member of the "Joan B.IrkeSociety" steals up from behind and socks it to me with his official red, white, and blue blackjack. Then, with a satisfied smile on his facade, he hammers a sickle through my heart and disposes of my lifeless body in a boiling vat of Russian dressing! Oh Doris, my love! How can you do this to me!

MUMMERS HOST INVITATIONAL
"Here is a place, a hill-Sorrow Hill. It is a place devoid of love, where peace is an eternity of waiting. So, here is a merry comedy asimple little comment - on nothing."
Sorrow Hill, a play written by Paul Baker, senior at Lincoln High, began with these words. The original script was presented at the annual Mummers Invitational, held April 23 in the Lincoln High School Lounge.
The special audience consisted of theatrical-minded students from the dramatics organizations at East High, Northeast, Pius X. and Southeast. Members of both Mimes and Mummersalso attended.
The half-hour avant-garde production deals primarily with people and their supercilious search to find an unknown el ement--love. The question raised throughout th~ play by each character is "Have you found love yet?"
The hero, a middle-aged grave digger (David Hartsell), supposedly finds love with a young girl, Sally, (Deb Hamnett), but in the end realizes that love is ·~hat you make it."
Other characters included Luisa (Ingrid Krumins), grandmo (Eva Gibson), the gatekeeper (Doug Brissey). and sue played by Beth Meyer, who also assisted Paul with direction. Narration was by Steve Jones.
The assistant county attorney, Mrs. Janice Gradwohl, was recently welcomed to Lincoln High by senior guidance classes. She informed the groups of the Nebraska state laws involved in marriage and divorce.

Mouths
Lips are still pale, but not so unbelievably pale as they have been. There is definitely a bit more color but it's still in the _pink family~natural, pretty pastels instead of cakey white, lighter-than-real mouths. Gloss is around, but more subtle. Look for lipstain to make the scene.~
Hair
Definitely more curl. Hair is either longish or shortish, but whichever, it's softer. No more long, long straight pressed: spring' s long hair will have shape, bend, wave. Short hair is more important, but it's longer short hair~no more extreme geometrics. Short hair will be soft, fluffy, pretty. curls are most important for evening~fake wiglets, clusters of curls. Hairpieces still big, es~ pecially the shorter fall, braids and those curls. The big word is "feminine," and not ju~t in hair. If it can be said that a word describes this spring, feminine is it.

Rewards Through Work
"Summer time and the livin' _is e:asy... '' Or is it? For some students, this t1m~ represents hours of hard work and service to the community. They attend school, travel, and hold responsible jobs.
These jobs may be of any variety and be for a number of reasons, such as earning money for college. A boy can become a grocery checker, a waiter, or a construction worker; a girl can become a baby sitter, a store clerk, or a secretary. In each instance they are performing a service to the community and enriching themselves as well. Some teenagers even work without pay as camp counselors for crippled children or as swimming instructors in a safety program.
What makes them do it? Why do they knock themselves out for others, when they could be enjoying the summer fun? We11, there is a lot of personal satisfactionandpride gained from helping people. This reason alo~e motivates thousands of teenagers to action.
Could it motivate YOU?
Of course, you can take the easy way out. Just sit there by the swimming pool, radio blaring, sipping on a glass of cold lemonade. Don't let the problems of our nation disturb you. The fact that there are impoverished ghettos, crippled children, and neglected elderly people, probably doesn't mean a thing to you. Or does it? Could you be.one of a rare breed of teenagers who recognizes the problem and strives to overcome it?
Well then, don't just sit there, go out and apply for ajob! Yes, use your education that you say is so advance~, and help others with your knowledge. Even If you don't do It for f'ree, you will be helping to mold your character and dis~ipl ine yourself.
This work experience may help {ou decide your 1 i fe' s occupation, and w11 help you 1earn to get along with others. So make this summer the one you will remember as a most rewarding experience, foryour community and yourself.
Thumbnailers
Thumb11ailers Nancy Chesnin and Larry Stepp take time out from their busy schedules for a coke and some reminiscence.

She is currently vice-president of the Student Council for Traffic Safety, editor-in-chief of Scribe, secretary of the 1968 National Honor Society, a member of Peppers, Mummers, Choir, and Madrigal Singers.
''People who think that just because I carry 12 books home every night, I'm a bookworm'' is her pet peeve. In her spare time Nanc;y enjoys ''attending youth group meetings and crocheting.''
Having a snowbal 1 fi gilt in 40 feet of snow on July 5 at Mount Rainier National Park is her most memorable experience. Her most embarrassing was ''loosing my left contact in the hall while classes were changing and having at 1 east 10 boys on their knees looking for it. "
This summer Nancy will attend Mador, a camp counselor training program in Pennsylvania. She will enroll at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois next fall.

His most memorable experience was ''working in the production of Stage 100. Trying to sell tickets to the Young Americans movie ••was his most • embarrassing.
'The large number of activities offered by the school'' is what Larry likes best about LHS, but he would like to ''take the barbed. wire off the oval,'' if he coulri.
This summer, Larry plans to construct a large telescope with other Astronomy Club members. He will enroll at the University of Nebraska in the fall.

ISearch for a Star
We all dream of someday reaching what seems an unreachable star.
Someof us have al ready sought goals and, with a little hard work, have been able to reach them. No matter how small these accomplishments, we have been able to take some pleasure in attaining our goals.
Weare now able, after such accomplishments, to see that, with dedication, a 1 ittle hard work, and with just enough hope, we are unlimited in what future goals we may seek.
As seniors, we are graduating and we will be going in different directions. Some wi 11 go on to schoo 1 : others wi11 seek jobs in their chosen communities.
No matter in what direction we head, wemust have a dream--a vi si bl e star that wi11 makeus sweat to reach i t.
Wemust dedicate ourselves to this dream and let nothing block our road to success. Whenwe find ourselves weary and discouraged we must have hope to drive us on. Most of all, we must never look back and feel sorry about something we could have done, or could have had.
Manywi 11 reach their goals: many more wi 11 fai 1. Those who fai 1 ·wi11 somewhere in their quest have been untrue to themselves: their failures will rest on their shoulders and theirs al one.
Those who succeed wi 11 have a glorious feeling of accomplishment and wi 11 be ready to reach for a still more distant star.
The star for which you reach will be your choice and yours alone. You, alone, can reach this star. Wi11 you?
'' Remember this also, and be well persuaded of its truth: the future is not in the hands of fate, but in ours. 11

Posing for their last Advocate picture of the year, fo~eign students Dardo Schropf, Marie-Christine Morrel, Chr~s Bigler, and Tinnarkorn Ruangrit indulge in one of _their favorite American pastimes--listening to good recordings.
The school year is almost over, but the memories and friendships made at Lincoln High School and throughout the United States will remain with American Field Service students, Chris Bigler, Switzerland, and Dardo Schopf, of Uruguay; and foreign students, Marie-Christine Morel, of France, and Tinnarkorn Ruangri t, of Thailand.
Eachhasreviewed the experienceshehas had in the United States and has disclosed the memories he will most cherish.
CHRIS: LINCOLNHIGH SCHOOLIS NEAT
"Before I came to the United States, it was something to dream about--a country full of surprises and excitement. I havehadplentyofboth, here, but I found that, as a whole, people here are not much different from Ellropeans. However, there is one big difference: in the United States everything is bigger and taller except for one thing--our mountains are higher!'' says Chris Bigler of Switzerland.
"The AFS program has .made it possible for me to make many valuable friends from all over the world--·friends Of di fferent colors, religion, and cultural backgrounds. Never before have I had such a feeling of international-equality as, for instance, in being one of a couple of hundred kids from some 60 countries, traveling to the New world.
"One of the greatest rewards that I have gained from my stay in America is that I have improved my Ehglish; I also have learr1ed to think in a much broader way. As I've lived here for the year, I have discovered many aspects and characteristics of Americans and their way of life which will make it easier, in the future, for me to understand not only Americans but also worldwide political, economic, and human problems.
"I don't want to talk about returning home. Seriously, I think this year has passed so fast because I've had such a great time here. Not that I don't like Switzerland or my own family, but I wouldn' tmindstaying herealittle longer!
''Someof the interesting experiences I have had in the United states are the trip from New York to Lincoln and the trip from Lincoln to Washington, D. C., and to Illinois. Other interesting experiences included finding out more about the racial problem by living and traveling, in the u. s.; seeing, for the first time, drive-ins and football games; attending campaign speeches of Senators Kennedy and McCarthy; going to an American high school; playing the role of a senior; meeting and talking with all kinds of people.
'1..incoln High is really neat because of the great kids who attend it, the kids who create the spirit and represent it-- the kids who ARE Lincoln High. I enjoyed attending and participating in the numerous activities which are real"ty something to me as we cbn' t have them in Switzerland.
DARDO:CAN'T COUNTTIIE REWARDS
"I didn't have any firmly- based opinion about the U.S. because I hadn't any experience here and I wasn't living with its problems: peace, and the war in Vietnam_ After living in the United states, I am beginning to understand them (the problems). Living in a foreign country is a completely new experience for me. One of the things that attracted my attention is the 'organization' of everything," stated Dardo Schopf, AFS student from Uruguay.
Dardo thinks that the AFSprogram is successful because it gives one an international experience. ''It gives you an objective view of the world by comi:aring what you already know with what you learn in the new country. With this means of comparison, you get new values about things. This experience will be with me throughout my life, and it will bring its value when needed.
''Myprincipal hobby is cars. I have al ways liked them because my father has a garage and he has participated in some races. A hobby that I have developed in the u. s. is an interest in airplanes.
"The rewards· that I have gained from my stay in America are many: I have met many people, which ismost interesting, and I have learned many things, because living as apart of an American family gives you an inside view that isn't the same as if you were a tourist. I can't count the rewards that I have gained in America; on the whole, it's called LIFE.
''I; m thinking ·~bout, my family and my country but I will feel sad when I think about leaving America because I'm not sure that I will be able to return, although I hope I will. I will miss the United States but will be thinking about coming back in a few years.
"All my experiences have been interesting because they have all been new and different. I' ve,enjoyed knowing not only people from the community but also other exchange students.
"I think Lincoln High is a great school and I am proud to be a Link. All the people are great, including the faculty members. I like the organization and the way people do things with so little effort. I like the school and I feel at home.''
TINNARKORN:EXPERIENCES WERE UNLIMITED
Tinnarkorn Ruangri t, from Thailand, found the United States different than he had expected it to be. ''It is a powerful nation made up of free people, but it still has weaknesses in the government, andpeoplesometimes have trouble getting along," he notes.
''I am not sure if I will be able to revisit the United states but I would like to very much. I wuld like to be in my homeland for awhile but, if another chance came to return to this country, I think I i,rould take it. MY experienees, here, were unlimited and I have done many interesting things. Just being 1n the United States has been the most interesting.
''Lincoln High is a school where each individual has a fair chance; there are people of many races and creeds g~in~ to LBS and they all get along well to~ether. It is a fine school both academically and athletically. I also think the people who go to Lincoln High are good.''
MARIE: LINCOLNHIGH IS A GREATSCHOOL
Marie- Christine Morel, of Mulhouse, France, thinks that the exchange program is successful in its goal of promoting brotherhood. The program gave her a chance ''to see a lot of people who are different from those of my country and to exchange ideas with them. I hope I have given something to the people I have met.
''Actually, the experience of the American way of life is very hard to describe. First 1 I got a new family. Then I realized things that I had done all my 1 i fe, and had taken for granted (such as the taste of good cheese) were not a part of the American tradition.
"I have learned much by living with people in a different type of culture. BY learning about another country, I have learned much about my own.
"I will be pl eased to return home and see my family, but it will al so be sad to 1 eave my American family and the United States. I hope I will be able to return; I never thought I would be able to do so but now I am pretty sure that I will.
''Mymost interesting experience in the States was visiting a large area of the country during the summer. I visited Yellowstone Park, the Rocky Mountains, Salt Lake City, Seattle, and the Black Hills.
"I think Lincoln High is a great school. In France, we never have much emphasis on school spirit because we do not have inter-school games.

AFS World Aims: Understanding for, and By Youth
''Walk Together, Talk Together, 0 Ye Peoples of the Earth: Then and Only Then Shall Ye Have Peace. 11
This is the philosoohy of the American Field Service, a private non-profit organization dedicated to world understanding. It was founded in 1914 as a volunteer ambulance corps.
In 1947, the AFS ambulance drivers initiated a "winter program'' in which students from abroad come to Ii ve, for a year with families and to study in American secondary schools. These AFS volunteers believed that close, personal associations between indi vidu al s of different nations fosters international understanding and friendship.
The Americans Abroad programs were started in 1950 by winter program students. Once they had returned home, they wanted to offer young Americans the same opportunities with which they had been provided.
FAMILYEXPERIENCE
The family experience, is the core of the program. The families participating in the programs are of many different personalities, values, and interests. However, pecoming part of any family involves sharing its day-today existence.
Although there are aspects of the program which are common to every experience, it is the human elements involved which make each experience unique and personal.
SUMMERPROGRAM
The AFS Summer Progra~ selects Ametlcan high school juni·ors to spend six to ten weeks during the summer living with a family abroad. AFS committees in 36 countries have assumed the responsibility as hosts to the young Americans.
According to the founding principles, the American Field Service Program is an operi door which leads to understanding and friendship among the peoples of the world. In this two-way program, young citizens of the world learn to appreciate and to respect the similarities and differences of all peoples.

Longfellow··Three Friendsof Mine
As we leave Lincoln High for the final time we share many memories of these past three years moments of excitement, sadness, happiness, and surprise; all are a part of those unforgettable high school days.
Mostofus made the big decision to attend Lincoln High in ninth grade. Prompted by friends, counselors, parents, and alums, we felt reasonably sure that our choice was the Right One. Over the summer the girls met with Coed counselors and the boys joined summer athletic programs in an effort to get into the swing of high school life.
YEARSOF CHALLENGE
For us, Lincoln High finally became a reality in September, 1965. Though unprepared for the barrage of people and activities, we sophomores easily adapted to the Link way of doing things. We welcomed the challenge of added homework assignments; the honor roll list proved that our efforts w~re not in vain. The chance to drive was sudde~lY ours, also, and we spent many hours trying to master driving techniques in class and simulators before hitting the ''open road."
The excitement of our first pep rally, allschool play, Aqualinks show, and opera was doubled by the race for Class Competition points.
Joining together with juniors and seniors in our campaign for new band uniforms, we marched for 12 days, selling $19,000 worth of candy and light bulbs. And how many of us won stuffed animals, radios, or cash prizes? BY its valiant efforts, the Class of' 68 earned for itself a place of honor, with other classes before it, in the tradition of Lincoln High.
Of course our sophomore year wouldn' t have been complete without after-game Hi-Spot dances, Keen Time, and Red Cross movies. * * *
As juniors, we faced many failures as well as triumphs. It seemed as if one tryout followed another Reserve Cheerleaders, octets, County Government Day, Mummers, AFS, Girls' and Boys' states, positions on publications staffs. Many of us participated in Joy Night for the first time. one of our number was selected vice-president of the Nebraska Association of Student Councils; another won a state wrestling title in his weight class. We experienced Type-A lunches; we moved back to the 8:45-3: 15 daily schedule.
The year 1967 marked the Centennial, and LHS students went all out to help Nebraska celebrate her 100th birthday as a state. Someof us attended ''The Showof the Century'' and met fonner Nebraskan Johnny Carson. But the most fun of all was wearing our pioneer costumes to school on Centennial Day.
our boys earned Reserve and Varsity sports letters, helping Lincoln High teams win victory after victory and the ''Great" cheer became secondnature to us. As our final underclassman project we sponsored Color Carrousel, adding our indi-
vidualistic touch to the Junior-Senior Prom.
STYLEOF '68
Suddenly we were seniors and with the title came respect and responsibilities. It was up to us, the Class of '68, to give our underclassmen something to look up to-and we did.
our athletes brought home countless trophies: City Champsin football, with two boys selected to play in the Shrine Bowl; City and Trans-Nebraska swimming crowns; City and District wrestling championships, with Bob Orta placing first in the State in his weight class for the second time; City, Districts, and the coveted State trophy in gymnastics.
Recognition came in other areas, too. w·e had six Regents four-year scholarship winners and 55 alternates; we also had a National Merit semifinalist, an Elks State Leadership Award winner, and one of the two Elks Most Valuable student awards presented in the city.
The year 1968 was one of innovation at Lincoln High. Peppers and Cheerleaders donned new unifonns, previously unchanged since the 1930' s. ''Ap eriod'' was added and removed; DECA club was formed. A special Senior week was introduced for the first time, with each day featuring something of special interest to seniors.
Of course the year would not have been complete without Homecoming, migrations, vespers, the Christmas bulb sale, Spirit flowers, Red Cross Projects, National Honor Society, and many ''jobs well done!"
We also met the traditional problems--deciding on a class gift (and paying for the class gift!), finishing economics notebooks, turning in our senior themes on time, getting The Advocate out on time--and conquered each one with the style of ' 68.
Our last prom, the All-Sports Banquet, Senior Week, Baccalaureate, and Commencement ended our three years as Links, three of the most exciting, satisfying, and unforgettable of our lives.
High school has been more than an education-it has been a total happening. We absorbed much more than scholastic facts; we made lasting friendships, learned the importance of good sportsmanship, acquired tolerance, discovered hidden talents.
Though sad at the prospect of leaving Lincoln High, we all realize that our lives are just beginning; Lincoln High has prepared us well for a future in a ''land of opportunity." The 'now' question is ''What will we do?"
Perhaps marriage, work, job-training, or college loom ahead. No matter what we decide to do, we will be able to do it better because we were Links, a title we will always treasure, and never forget!

A Last Summer Night Kiss
'!he stench of rotting vegetation and human flesh oozed through the eternal darkness.
A pitifully weak cry of anguish seemed to pierce the dead silence of the jungle before me.
I lay, a knotted mass of nauseated terror, in a forgotten paddie, with my M-·16 hugged close to my chest. Its wann metallic barrel brought back memories of home; a mother's warm breast as she cuddles the tear-drenched face of a lonely child; a father's firm grasp as he fights back the proud tear for a khaki-clad young man, a last summer-night kiss.
The barrel cooled; as I caressed its smooth, yet jagged features, I heard again the excited and anxious voices of children as they explored the mysterious boxes under a glittering Cllristmas tree.
The brilliance of a bright red bicycle with shimmering chrome and tinkling bell filled m,y eyes.
I could feel the warm summer breeze as it licked my face and tossed my hair to the clouds. I could see the merry-go-round with its twinkling lights and laughing faces; could savor the cotton candy with its light sweet taste; could visualize the cool, snooth mountain of icecream, waiting to be sa~led.
I remembered quiet pools of clear, blue water and the crisp, rustling sound of dainty leaves, tossed by the wind. An intimate, tender moment and the memory of th at first kiss came back to me.
A chill began to soak into my skin as the cloak of dark about me became heavier. My body acknowledged the chill with a spasmodic twitch.
When this minor tremor subsided, a small, delicate snowflake pricked the side of my cheek. Smal 1 voices again were shouting joyously. screaming and shouting as the snow-covered hill before my eyes came alive with cheerful faces and wintry pranks.
by Tim Shaw
Snowballs dotted the sky, and sleds raced down the hill with blinding speed. Jolly fat snowmen began appearing on the landscape.
Beyond the hill was a si1 ent and peaceful valley, blanketed with the dazzling white beauty of winter. The trees were trimmed with Mother Nature's fluffy white cotton and the brooks babbled softly under her glassy shield.
'!hen bright fire\lOrks burst about my head; I could smell the aroma of a Fburth of July celebration in the air. Band music fil 1 ed my ears and I could see the glittering brasses and feel the ground sh•e with the thunder of the big bass drum. The band was playing America and m,y heart filled with proud, .American spirit.
I could see the great men of our nation parading past me. Proud men--men who led their country bravely and were not afraid to put down their lives for its sovereignty. They were beckoning to me; they wanted me to join them in that triumphant parade of victory. I jumped up to join them in their march and ran toward the fading parade and dying music but my breath was caught short.
An electrifying pain ricocheted through my body. I lay face down in the mud. * * *

Where Did You Go, William McKinley?
When testing the public's reaction to an idea, the cry on Madison Avenue is, ''Let's run it up the flagpole and see who salutes it!''
When it came time for the Senior Class to choose a gift, not only did the student body salute the idea, they saluted the flagpoles as well!
A recent announcement disclosed that the Class of 1968' s gift to Lincoln High will be three flagpoles; these, to be located on the northeast corner of the building, will fly the colors of the nation, the state, and the school.
* * *
''Flagpoles! Flagpoles, Doris! Do you hear what I'm saying? Flagpoles!''
''Huh?'' Muttered Doris, my girlfriend, her face buried within the slick pages of the latest, hot-off-the-press copy of Real Romances.
''I said flagpoles, Doris!'' I had a suspicion that it would take nothing less than a modern miracle of major surgery to amputate the ink and paper appendage from the end of her nose but, throwing all caution to the winds, and with a display of dexterity that has never been equaled, I peeled the magazine away from Doris' s face and stared into her soft brown eyes with the sudden realization that this was the first time I'd ever seen them.
''Just what do you think you' re doing! You made me lose my place!''
''Nowlisten Doris, this is a bit more important than whether or not "Alexandria HYercroft Vanderwilde-Jones, Park Avenue socialite, can find happiness with Oscar Mayer Knocworster. a poor but honest piano pounder, from a basement bistro in South Hoboken."
''East Hoboken!''
''O. K., East Hoboken. Now I isten, this year's class gift is three flagpoles. What was last years' s gift?''
"I don't know. Is this a true-false or mul tip! e choice question?"
''Letters on Johnson Gym, right? The year before that a lectern for the little theater, all exemplifying the transistorized, unemotional practicality of the computer era, and the ruth1 ess society in which we 1i ve today."
''Oh, brother!"
''Where have the good old days gone, when the choice of a cl ass gift was not based on its cold functionality, but purely on its aesthetic values. Where have they gone? Where?''
''In all the psychotic little nooks and crannies in your cerebrum.''
''Who could forget the his~ toric contribution of the class of 1903--an engraving of William McKinley, or 1905 s statues, Diana of the Hunt and Apollo.
''The generosity of other classes was represented by such 1 andmark gifts as 1887' s portrait of Professors. p, Barret; 1897' s picture of the Laughing Cavalier; and a reproduction of the Winged Victory from the class of '07. Also, let us not overlook these notable contributions, 1908's gift- A bronze replica of the school, and 1918' s pictures of The Dance of the Nymphs and The Age of Innocence.
''But when you get right down to the old nitty-gritty, the acme of gifts has to be the Class of '04' s: a reProduction of the western frieze of the Parthenon '' "A frieze?''
''Yeah, you know, that part of an entablature between the architrave and the cornice, commonly ornamented with sculpture. (definition courtesy of The New American College Dictionary)
''Uh-huh sure.''
''But alas, Doris had once again plunged deep within the private lives of Alexandria and Oscar. Oh well, maybe I can get a special student subscription rate to Real Romances.
''Yournot paying attention, Doris. Yes, they had the right idea back then. They selected gifts that would leave a lasting impression upon the school and properly express the spirit of the class.
Electronic Buffs Assemble Small Transmitter
The ''contraption'' in the picture below is called a micro-wave transmitter. Although the one that Jim Amen and Dan Dermyer built is really too small to produce useful waves, it can report when something passes through its wave length.
Micro-wave transmitters a.re used for sending and receiving micro-waves in radar; any telephone conversation is the result of micro-waves.
Jim Amen spends most of his spare time with electronics. He can be found in the video department at various times during the day and frequently before and after school.
During almost any Lincoln High School production, he will be working the lights.
Jim pl ans to attend the University of Nebraska after
graduation to study el ectrical engineering.
Dan Dermyer is president of L Club and a member of the varsity swimming team.
Dan is also a Home Room R,epresentati ve. After graduation he plans to attend the University of Arizona and study aero-space engineering.

As another school and athletic year is nearing its completion at Lincoln High School, I can say to all concerned ''another Lincoln High job well done.'' Many positive results, this school year, have been accumulated by LHS athletes. It is hoped by the entire coaching staff at Lincoln Hi~h, that some of the lessons learned by part- icipation in athletics will be meaningful.
lthasalt-1ays been my feeling that in athletics · you have an activity that DOESequip an individual for 1 ife. It is difficult to have any activity that exposes a young man more. A "phony" will be found out in short order, just as excel1 ence will be found out; we hope that young men will continue to strive for it.
I hope that al 1 young men who HAVEcompeted for Lincoln High on any squad, at any level, or WILLcompete in athletics at LHSwill gi·ve a moment or two to some of the basic lessons that might be learned by this type of activity.
I) That defeat is a result of some personal fai 1ure; 2 that optimism is a sign of success: 3 that, to be successful, one must follow; lJ. that to be a winner, one must lose his individuality to a cause and a team; 5) that overconfidence leads to disaster, and underconfidence and unsureness leads to defeat·
6) that you iearn to 1 ive with pressure and that your performances are watched by many.
These are just some of the lessons many of you have al ready experienced and it. is hoped that they wi 11 prove valuable to you tn later years. Something to remember comes from Kipling, who said "The strength of the wo1f is in the pack. The strengthoftlle pack is in the wolf." In competitiveathleticsyoujustcan't substitute wishbone for backbone. Some of these lessons may help as the game of 1 ife continues for you. What you will be, you are now becoming.
May you be a ''winner!''

Netmen 9 in State Holroyd
Steve Holroyd led the Lincoln High netmen to a 9thplace finish in the state tennis championships, held on the University of Nebraska courts, May 16 and 17.
Holroyd won his opening match against Ronnie Rodgers of OmahaTech, 6-0, 6-1, but lost his second round match, 7 -5, 8-6, to Jim Crew of OmahaCeot ral.
The doubles team of Gene Filbert and Doug Scholes lost out in the first round.
The team trophy went to Omaha Central.
The inexperienced Lincoln High tennis team lost a dual meet to Omaha Westside, 4-1, on the Links home courts, May 13.
The loss left the Links with a disappointing 1-9 season record.
LHS Wins Districts
The Lincoln High tracksters romped to an easy victory in the Class A-1 District meet, held at Magee Stadium, May 10.
The Links finished with 83 points, southeast was second with 53 points.
Lincoln High had nine first place qualifiers; Melvin Tarpley in the 220 and 440-yd dashes, Wayne King in the Long Jump and Low Hurdles, Dan McCauley in the High Jump, Dave Ripley in the Shot Put, and Rick Ideen in the TwoMile Run. The Mile and TwoMile Relay teams also placed first.

Links Fall in Semifinals
The Lincoln High bats were silent as Omaha Ryan blanked the Links, 5-0, on a no-hitter, in the semifinals of Class A state high school baseball tournament, played May 20, at Rosenblatt Stadium, in Omaha.
Ryan' s Jerry Gomez, a sophomore fireballer, struck out 14, including the first seven he faced.
However, the no-hitter was somewhat controversial. In the sixth inning, the Links' Dennis Pope hit a sharp grounder in the hole at shortstop, with Mike Brumm on first.
Ryan's Steve Fela was too late to make the play at first and tried to force out Brumm on second. Although both runners were safe, a fielder's choice was placed in the scorer' s book.
It really didn't matter though, as Gomez never allowed a Lincoln High runner past second base.
Omaha Ryan now meets Omaha Bishop Rummel in the final game.
Ed Hohenfeldt's pitching and James Ellis' shitting gave Lincoln High the district title as it defeated Lincoln Southeast 5-0, May 14, at Sherman Field.
Hohenfeldt.threw his second straight shutout against Southeast, giving up only three hits and walking two.
Ellis supplied the hitting power as he had a perfect three for three at the plate, including a double off the left field fence.

Lincoln High tuned up for the state tournament by bombing Lincoln East, 15AO, May 17, at East.
The Links belted 12 hits to give Mike Shea all the support he needed for the victory.
