Wesleyan Pres. Spe~ks On Russian Edu cat ion
By Samy Irland
"Eight years of schoolirg are required in Russia," said Dr.Vance Rogers, president of Jesleyan Universi ty, at the ~-Jednesday rrr,nr ing assembly, Jan. 16.
Ir you are gifted you may go ·to school for three more years. At the end of this time you are required to work for three, four or five more years. You then take a competitive test. If you are among the 2 0 per cent to pass the test, you may go to college.
The old saying, "Go, go, go" might well apply tc the Russian people. Behinri this slogan are three big E's: education, electrification,arxi enrichment, all part of the Russian's new program to advance a better and higher standard of education for everyone.
Dr. Rogers traveled in the late fall of 1962 with a group of American educators who studied the European educational system. He showed colored slides 0£ his trip. Through them the audience was taken tc classrooms in the British Isles, Germany, Austria, cont. on page 7

In a survey taken by · Mrs. Saumers' ninth grade guidance class, the . following facts were learned about activities during -the class's leisure time.
Dear Miss L:
I'm a young and pretty girl of 14 and I'm fond of a certain boy who lives on my street. When he is alone, he's real friendly, but when he is with his _ friends, he hardly speaks to me. What can I dor B.T.
Dear B.T., Get him alone.
Dear Miss L:
In the group I run around with, there are about only four girls' parertt! who take the group anywhere. I think the responsibility should be passed, but the girls who never take anyone always can think of excuses. Do you think we should discuss it in the open?
The Driver's daughter
Dear Driver, I certainly think that you should express your feelings. It isn't fair for a few to provide all the transportation. Try to decide among everyone whose parents can take you so all t h e work will be evenly distributed.
Dear iss L:

Or are you missing any of the following: a pair of bifocals (maybe they are Ben Franklin's first pair), one well worn sweat shirt, a box of crayons, one· dog chain, ear muffs, a shoe horn, 15 scarfs, 7 stocking caps, 4 white blouses, 8 pens, about 20 mittens and gloves in assorted sizes, colors, and styles.
Oh yes, if you know a boy who is scantily clad in gym class, it's probably because his gym suit is in the Lost arrl Found.

In ·creative· hobbies cooking interests were first and dressmaking, second. Television arrl . radio scored highest in ·'spectator hobbies.
Under the topic., collecting, 13 said collecting records was their hobby. For eeucational hobbies, reading and music study were at the top. Most of the class liked swimming and bicycling for their non-competitive sports. Bowling and football were the two highest in the competitive sport group. Choir and clubs ranked first in the social group work.
111 Filn,s Shown
One hundred eleven"films -~ with 227 viewings • have been shown during the first three months of school.
Among those viewed were &Di :!liain, The Telltale ~, Prums the Mohawk, and A Tale of Tw, Cities.
Mrs. Welch reports that the film strip and slide projector is used on the average of every other day, two tape recorders are used regularly by language teachers, and the third is in demand by speech and English teachen. Used daily but by fewer teachers is the overhead projector. Least used is the opaque projector.

JOY ON SKIS
By Marcia Mather
The caller starts the countdown My muscles feel like lead. My eyes are watering freely, And my nose is cherry-red.
Ten! nine!
Seven! six!
Four! three! One! ready! eight! five! two! dive!
The wind whi:)S past my eyes, The snow bites into my face. My cap is now forgotten, I blindly set the pace.
My feet have wings instead of skis, I fly with singing heart. And for these few brief moments, Of this earth I'm no longer a part.
I fly past snow-ca.pped bushes, See images of trees. And for triese few brief moments, I know what it's like to be free .
When I'm presented with the trophy, Its beauty seems a toy, For when I fly down glistening slopes, Word s can't express my joy.
This is the only time in history that has happened.
CL A SS SP EA I\ 5 ON DEMOCRACY
" What Democracy Means to Me" was the topic of personal conviction speeches given by Mr. Mattes' speech class.
Said Carol Neal, "The true meaning of democracy, then, is to arrange my life so that I can do what ever I please, so long as it does not harm others. 11
From Sandy Tesch, " it does mean faith, faith in people who govern this country, and faith in God who rules the world. T ma ny pu pils today ma jor in ali bi lo y .
" When I first think of democracy, I think of the four freedoms we are blessed with in the United States--the freedom of religion, the freedom of the press, the freedom of speech, and the freedom of assembly, said Ruth Mozdzen in her speech.

Everywhere we went th e Russians asked us why we wanted war, said Miss Lorraine Strasheim, Lincoln High School teaeher of Russian, at the PT A meeting Feb. 12. Miss Strasheim was among a group of 40 U.S. citizens who toured Russia for five weeks, the summer of 1962. The purpose of t h e trip was to gain experience in speaking Russian and to learn more of -the people and their way of life.
Their days were filled visitin 5 museums, sc hools, factories, farms, cities and villa ges.
The youth are thoroughly indoc t rinated to the Russian system. In every classroom is a lar ge picture of Lenin, a silent reminder of Russian ideolo gy, she explained. To the m, Am erica is a place of une mployment segregation, controversy, and warmongering.

There are some students who say they won't distract anyone and ask if they then can chew it. That's like asking _ a policeman not to give you a ticket when you drive JO mph in a 25 mph speed zone, . ··just because you thought you were safe, driving too fast.

Well, this is just one of the many ridiculous answers Miss Bratcher re~eived from her typing II ~lasses.
The assignment was to type a composition on Neb~aska answering such questions as: Where is Lincoln located? What is its population? What states oorder Nebraska?
The answers to the questione on Lincoln's popula-
tion ranged from two thousand to two million. Some said Lincoln is locata:l in the western part of Nebraska, and Denver and Mexico border the state.

MY HEARTHAS SEVE NTEEN ROOMS is a perfect example of what personal contact with people can do. Written by Carol Bartholomew it is based upon the experiences of 12½ years sµent in India by her family and especially concerning the 17 room hospital across the road.
At first si$ht of the hospital you are overcome by heat and squalor with which the hundreds of patients live in a building built for 70. Things, such as food, are unheard of except for the critically ill. All other patients must have food brought by relatives, writes Mrs. Bartholomew. And this is one of the best hospitals in India.
During their stay in India such famous foreign di 6nataries as Kruschev and Nehru visited the country. The communists a r e clever, she says, and make a h i t with the people by claiming to share the same country problems of the East.

rCJURTESY
By Carol Neal
he lack of courtesy in a schocl classroom is a most ectual way to lay the foundations for discourtesy in er life. Discourteous people make so many needless mies. Hillaire Belloc put the idea beautifully:
Of courtesy; it is much less Than courage of heart or Holiness, But in my walks it seems to me That the Qrace of Jod is in Courtesy.
Courtesy comes from thinking of others. People who praise themselves too much--who are conceited--seldom ovse IIUO~. admiration in anyone else. If we respect e rights of others, and at the same time expect them respect ours, we'll usually come out all right. If f hold up our end of the work and treat others as we 1uld ourselves, we will get along /ine.

What is the true meaning of courtesy? Almost everybody knows that courtesy is the art of comJ iningppolit~::.ness with kindness. In a broader sense, courtesy is respect for the rights and feelings of our fellow students, relatives, and neighbors.

This old proverb we should take to heart: "A hat raised half-heartedly is a courtesy without charm.n Confucious declared that "Courteous comes from the heart."

Do you think you're bein g a very g ood citizen when you mark on your desk? Do you think your parents would be proud of y ou if they knew that you had no respect for the pro~erty of others? Many students complain ijbout too much homework and can 1 t seem to find enough time to do it, but still find ample time to mark on desks. Someone said, "I feel sorry for the bo y without a desk," but I feel sorrier for the desk when the boy has no scratch paper. How does your desk look?

Have you ever taken a test while sittin 5 next to someone who is constantly askin 5 you for the answers? Many of us have.
Some tell him the answers say ing to themselves that it will help him and also 5et him off their backs, but what it actually does is to make him think he can get the answers from you every time and so he asks for more ans wers.
If I were you I would ignore his questions and 6et to work on my test. Maybe then he will stud.v for himself. - Alan Cook

BOOK f\JOOK
By Carol Neal
The story of Robin Elizabeth Rogers is a tender account told by her mother--the wife of Roy Rogers, America's foremost cowboy star.
Little Robin, who was born with a tragic handicap, Y had a special mission to accomplish on earth before her second birthday. The story of what it did to both Robin and her parents is told in an unforgetably heart\ ) rending way.
Many people knew the story of Robin because of her parents and how she had affected their lives. God's "Plan" to send Robin to earth is shown to be one of His reasons for people's sufferings.
By Pau
The Sinking 2r the Titanic, by Logan Marshall, tells of the so-called unsinkable palace on the sea and the sadness which follows the catastrophe of the great ship.
The accident occurred on the Titanic's maiden voyage from the British Isles enroute to the United States in 1912. Al though the ship was warned of an iceberg field, almost no precaution was taken to avoid it. The ship struck an iceberg damaging the bO .{ of the ship. As it slowly sank, the passengers and crew at first stayed calm. But when it was noticed that there were not enough life boats for all, and that the women and children were ordered into them first, the calm turned into panic on the decks. Sadness followed the departure of the life boats and the submerging of the ship. After much sorrow and suffering the people were rescued after eight hours in the frigid ocean.
Robin watched her parents grow in grace and learn to walk closer to God. One day her mother said, "I'm coming to believe that the only important thing in this world is a person's relationship to God and his faith in Jesus Christ." And she added she was actually grateful that God had sent Robin in her handicapped condition, because she had made her walk closer to Him. It is a story unique in style and approach and reveals the faith and courage of triumph over a great challenging experience in the lives · of two famous people. Angel Unaware.

'The practice of athletics (track and field) · tends to encourage self-reliance, self-control arrl a proper appreciation of other men's me~its. It promotes goodfellowship which enables a beaten man to honestly congratulate the victor and it affords the opportunity of making friendships which are often valuable in later life." This statement was maje by Richard Webster in 1865 after he won the mile at a track meet in England. That athletes get out of track and field exactly what they put into it in mental and physical effort has been proved many times. Study the records of various boys and men and watch the improvement they make and great perseverance they have.

By Steve 3age Ninth graders, how .-did you vote? Did you vote for the person you thought was the best qualified or did you vote for the popular person or the one you liked best?
The person for whom you cast your ballot should have been the best qualified for that position. Voting is a privilege and should be done honestly and to the best of our ability. It also •gives ··us an idea of what it is like to vote in real elections.
Some take it as a joke and are not so serious about it as they should be. Such attitudes may bring about unfortunate circumstances. Do take your privilege seriously and vote for the candidate you think best qualified.
.Th ousand s Die
Yearly
in Fires
By Carol Wed.berg
"Twelve to fourteen thousand persons die in tires every fear," said Captain John Gabarron of the Lincoln Fire Department at an assembly April 8. with the help of Captain William McIntyre, Captain Sabarron demonstrated how fires start.
A iarge triangle showed the elements--fuel, oxygen and heat which are essential in starting a fire. Several household items such as hair spray, shaving cream, and moth killer were used to show how easily a fire ignites by one spurt of these materials.
Captain Gabarron pointed out that there are 12 to 16 school fires within each 24 hour period and 1,600 home fires occur in that same length of time.
When you go home, have a family consultation, he ad vised. Know how to get out of your house in case of fire. Check extension cords. Are any under the rugs? Living in a world of controlled hazards, one cannot be over safety conscious. Ht ·-1-1 ~CHO l'=> Jo11-. FoR 0RCHE Tt\A Fer£

From beginning to end the election is held as nearly as possible as a real election would be held. This gives the young citizens a better insight in the affairs of government.
After the general election, April 23, when the representatives for each school have been chosen the proceedings continue in earnest.
On May 2, the students meet at 9:JO in the City Council Room. The introductions are made by the City Attorney and the rePresentative is assigned to the head of the office to which he was elected. He is then shown through . the department and instructed
in its operations and in-
fonned of the duties
through charts, maps, short tours and question periods.
This year, Mickle's special assignment is the Department of Education.
Mickle's representative to this department will give the report on the morning activities at the luncheon meeting.

Doug Campbell, Hal Smith Bruce Bounds, Rick Bradley and Larry Lockhart found out April 17, that Mickle doesn't have the best kept floors arxt lockers in the city--at least as far as Charles Culler is concerned.

The group talked with Mr. Rezac, Culler's principal, about how the floors were kept clean.
Mr. Rezac•s response was that the pupils had respect for the school property. lie added that they start teaching the pupils in the seventh grade to respect property.
One need not mark the floors if he walks properly. :tr he deliberately tries, Mr. Keill found he could mark the floors with his shoes also.

Ninth graders have been thinking and writing about their philosophy of life. Mr. Fellers submitted the following excerpts from some of these papers: How do these ideas agree with yours?
"My philosophy of life is to live one day at a time, accept whatever may be in store for me that day, make the most of any opportunities, and be gracio'llS to everyone.·'
"I feel that all of us were put on the earth for a purpose. We .· should .;•make • the most of our abilities and opportunities that we are blessed with.u -

JACK PREDICTS
With the city and track meet coming up, Mickle athletes hope to break school and city records, some of which have stood since the school was opened in 1960.
In the seventh grade, Doug Campbell's city and school record in the 50 yard dash of 6.2 seconds and the school record in 80 yard low hurdles do not appear in danger, nor does the 440 yard relay record in !·54.l seconds for the
Mickle Missile school.
Turning to the eighth grade, where George Knight's l:JJ.9 clocking in the 660 yard run is a city and school record, new records appear out of reach.
In the ninth grade, however, several records are in jeopardy and most of them could fall. In the high hurdles Derald Ferguson has run an 8.4 which is .1 second better than the school record of 9.1 set by Rick Lutz in 1962. In the low hurdles Ferguson has bettered the school record of 10.5 seconds set in 1961 by Terry Monk and tied the city one of 9.9 in workouts.
The 100 yard dash of ll.J s~conds set by Glen Lockhart in 1961 should fall. Larry Lockhart, Doug CamPbell, Derald Ferguson, and Rick Parrott have all been under this time so far with Campbell clocking the fastest in 10.8 seconds which ties the city record.
Paul Topliff and Tom Krieger have b e th high jumped 5 feet or better which would beat Terry Moruc's school record of 4' 9". In the shot put Jerry Motz's record of 41' lo½" should be beaten by Derald Ferguson who has done 44•r-Jack Ketterer

While in the library during second period, have you wondered what all the noise is about, especially since Mrs. Welch is so particular about talking? The reason for the disturbance is the audio lingual, a new way of teaching foreign languages.
Mickle MissiJe
T he method inv olves liste ni n g a rrl sp eak ing before re ad ing or . writing. First t h e teacher will rel a te a small conversation between two people in En gl ish then go over it in the foreign lan gua ge. The class responds by repeating the whole line in the foreign language. For homework the students listen to special language records.
This method arose after the Second Vo rld War when the United States realized that Americans couldn't converse with the people of other countries very well.
Lincoln schools adopted the approach for all French classes a year ago. M r s. Calkins, French teacher, reports · that students learn more readily by this method.
