Shadows of television presage a marvelous future for us. Just now visions of fear, suspicion, anxiety, flash off and on our figurative screen. Unemployment faces us on every side. A more tragic outlook for graduates would be hard to find. l Healthy minds bridge this transition period in which We meet the World. Television is a shadow fore- telling the miracles and Wonders of the nent era. Our generation Will fall heir to this wealth of Wonder! Our future is beckoning. The 1938 Crimson and Blue serves as a "screen- ful" of local achievements, and unlike the other Visions, it will persist after We have reached our quota of to- morrows. t I DEDICATION H ERE'S to the future! Tomorrow, today will become yesterday, a part of the past, but tomorrows will come forever. In the future gleam the visions We live by, there- fore we dedicate this year-book to that powerful, beckoning loadstone-the future. All that We Work for, the quality of what we do, of character itself is shown up by this compelling magnet. I This record of school life has been the iprime hope of every senior class-ours, too. It marks the "30" of our high school career 3 but We still have our future and our hope. CONTENTS I. Administration ------ II. Classes - - III. Music and Speech Arts IV. Publications ------ V.

KIRN Page Twelve Congratulations "For three years you have been a part of the Abraham Lincoln High School. The halls have rung with your merry laughter. You have sought knowledge and understanding in the class rooms. Your lives have been enriched with beautiful friendships of pupils and teach- ers. You have vied with each other and with pupils of other schools in athletics, forensics, dramatics, music, art, journalism, commercial subjects and other activities as you have sought excellence in intellectual achievement and in personal development. You have breathed the spirit of the school. You have been the school. "Now as you are graduating you are presenting this Annual as the record of your school life, the tangible evidence of your ambitions, your appreciations and your achieve- ments. It is my sincere wish for you that this book will always recall in golden memory this matchless period in your lives, that it will record for you in type and picture your quest of the good, the true and the beautiful, that through it you will cherish all your lives the high idealism that your high school days have stressed and that you may relive whenever you read it, the happy days of your high school course." G. W. KIRN. ....-L "My congratulations and best wishes to every member of the senior class of the Abraham Lincoln High School for the success you have attained in fulfilling all the re- quirements for graduation. You have taken advantage of the educational opportunities afforded in this community and have overcome the obstacles met in attaining this first milestone along life's pathway. We share your happiness in reaching this goal. "We look with you into the future and see on every hand opportunities for those who are willing to prepare themselves and who are eager to be of service to humanity in this troubled world. Go forth with determina- tion that will not be denied. Formulate for yourself some philosophy of living and a creed that will carry you through any crisis. May I suggest the one given to the world by Harold Walters: I would he true for there are those who trust me, I would he pure for there are those who careg I would he strong for there is muck to suffer, I would he brave for there is much to dareg I would he friend to all, the foe, the frienrllessg I would he giving and forget the gift, I would he humble for I know my Weahnesxg I would look up and laugh and love and lift.

By taking advantage of all the character moulding processes offered, we have become changed in attitude and outlook. It took a few years to accomplish the change, but now that we have within our reach a basic foundation for knowledge and formulae for an honest, intelligent way of living, we're willing to make our debut. Similar paths of service open before each of us as a result of careful high school training. Instructors have guided us through our thicker days of that four-year pull- and here we arel We have tried to make ourselves a dis- tinct part of the school. We have com- pleted our work now, but some day in the future, you and I will look back wistfully to these rip-roaring days when all things were not only possible, but probable. Our time has come! Now we, too, will take glad steps to the strains of "Once More, Dear Home." Honors have been shared, as well as scholastic achievements and activities. We are thankful to have been a part of all this. Page Sew 1 nteen DORIS ADAMS -------- College Prep Clio: Girl Reserves: French Club: Orchestra: Iiehoes Staff.

Three years we've been waiting for this chance to win long-hoped-for honors. As juniors we've encountered innumerable ob- stacles and struggled along with our senior goal in view. Frequently we take time out to enjoy our present status. We attend plays as well as put on the mystery play of the vear. Assemblies break the monotony, too. This year we've made countless friends, and they will carry us through our senior year. We, the junior class, have proved our- selves outstanding in countless school ac- tivities. A junior won the dramatic division of the declamatory contest. Six of the mem- bers of the teams in the final debates were Page Thirty four juniors. Operetta leads were carried by juniors. In our midst are all the school electricians who can make or break every play that A. L. puts on. We aren't big-shots yet, but we are the biggest class of juniors this school has had for some time. Almost 400 of us are learn- ing the fundamentals so that we can shine next year. It has taken us a year or so to get adjustedg now we are beginning to make ourselves known. The majority of the year's plays have had junior leads. Wrestling and track honors have been lit- erally scooped up by these seniors-in-the bud. Basketball has ridden on the crest of the wave due to the juniors' staunch sup- port. Front row: Buesing, Bruington, Brewick, Burnstein, Bunton. L.

Some say we are too husy acquiring technical knowledge to waste our time on unimportant ideas. They con- tend that we will learn to get along without teamwork and co-operation, that our su- perior training and knowledge will enable us to rise above human failings. We congratulate ourselves on our choice of sponsors, Mr. Lawson and Miss Broad- foot. They accepted the responsibility cheerfully and worked hard assisting our class. An election later than usual resulted in the choice of our class officers: Earl Rine- hart, presidentg John Beazley, vice-president, Eleanor Schlott, secretary, Jack Bigley, treasurerg Clark Barritt, sergeant-at-arms.

Dear Homef, but until then we will do our level best to carry on the traditions with which our school is permeated. We have been exposed here to cultural advantages, perhaps more so than sopho- mores of other high schools throughout the state. Our principal has made it pos- sible for us to acquire a broader under- standing of the fine arts through excellent collections of boolcs as well as of paintings and sculpture. Assemblies featuring a high- er type of entertainment have heen fre- quent. We,ll never forget these sophomore days so packed with paltry worries, yet colored with a light-heartedness never to he felt again as we feel it now.

ORCHESTRA Instrumental Music Directors: Mr. Seidl, Mr. Nowak EALING trumpets, shrill high notes of school song or to help out with a yell. clarinets, blare of the trombones, all blend together in a snappy military march, announcing that the band is doing its part Playing for football and basketball games, however, was not the only activity cf the band. A series of three Vesper con- to help the half time pass quickly for foot- ball fans. Playing in the stands before the game and marching, with intricate ma- neuvers, at the half, the band was present at every home game and at the Thomas Jefferson game on Armistice Day. Fair weather or foul, they did their best. At the end of the football season the band turned to basketball games and did its bit to help the Lynx to victory by sup- plying school spirit. A little noisy, perhaps, in the confined quarters of the gym, but band members were always ready with the Page Forty ix certs, in which both the band and the or- chestra took part, were held on November ZZ, January 16, and February 20. These con- certs, intended to raise money to send the band and orchestra to the music contests in the spring, were held on Sunday after- noons in the gym. During the Christmas season, the or- chestra presented a Yuletide program on December 20 for patrons of the school, and on December 23, for the students. In this manner the orchestra helped the school to celebrate Christmas. And at every play, at the operetta, at the road show, the music between acts and during the performance was furnished by a small group of band and orchestra members. To increase the musical reputation of Abraham Lincoln, two trips were made to Omaha this year. In the fall, the band went to the Creighton homecoming and marched in the parade and at the game. On March 6, the orchestra played a con- cert at the Joslyn Memorial and received many favorable comments on its ability. On March 14, rhe orchestra was high- ly honored by being the first high school musical organization to ever play with the famous pianist, Winifred Christie, who played on her double keyboard piano. The band also played a large part in the annual R. O. T. C. inspection. At every parade they were at the head of the line of marchers from A. L. The music at the May Fete was fur- nished by the band, which spent almost as much time at practice as any group in the fete. The Regional Music contest which has taken the place of the national contest, was held in Omaha on May 12, 13, and 14. The A. L. band and orchestra, because of superior ratings won last year, went to this contest without going to the state con- test at Iowa City. With all of these activities during the year, it can easily be seen that the band is one of the most important service groups in the school and also one of che hardest working.

Howard Mcllrath has led our debaters through another outstanding year of superior worlc. The question for the school year 1937-'38 was "Resolved: That the Several States Should Adopt a Unicameral System of Legislation." Opening the debate season at Abraham Lincoln was the literary society debate tournament, beginning with the tryouts on October 19 and 21. At the literary society debate banquet on October 29, Margery Gretzer launched her brilliant debate ca- reer by winning the after dinner speaking contest, using "Doodling,' as the subject of her speech. The tournament ended on December 9 with the Ionians defeating the Clios in the final round. On this occasion the varsity squad for this year was an- nounced. Abraham Lincoln also triumphed at the Missouri Valley debate banquet when Billy I-lansen, speaking on "State Legislatorsf' won the after dinner speaking contest. For the second consecutive year Abra- ham Lincoln was the champion of the Girls' Division of the Missouri Valley League de- bates. At the Midland Debate Tournament on January 27, 28, and 29, our debaters were in the quarter finals, while at the southwestern Iowa division of the Iowa High School Forensic League, held at First place winners: Extempo-Zurmuehlen. Dcclam Afterdinner speaking-Hansen, Grctzcr. Original -Fitzgibbon, Hennessy, Kutlcr. Creston on February 18 and 19, we again triumphed and topped the list. The first week of March found our debaters at the McCahill tournament at Drake where they competed with 36 teams representing six states, and we were one of the four teams to reach the semi-finals. Ending the debate season for this year was the state tournament at Iowa City on April 23. Our eligibility for this tourna- ment was secured through our outstanding work in the Southwestern Iowa District Contest. Abraham Lincoln was also represented at the State tournament in the extemporaneous speaking division by John Zurmuehlen who Twenty-fourth Annual oratory-G ustafson. won first in our school and second in the district. Robert Gustafson was our representative in the original oratoiry division of the dis- trict contest with his original oration, "Fort- ress of Progressf, Winners of the annual declamtory con- test, held on January 20, were Ben Kutler in the oratorical division, speaking on "The Supreme Menace", in the dramatic divis- ion, Kathleen Hennessy, reading "The Hero", and Frances Fitzgibbon, giving the selection "The School Program," in the humorous division.

Arthur Lee members of the staff are approximately one- hundred students who are in all the jour- nalism classes of the school. The Echoes has made many advances during the past year. Cne of these was the modern name plate contributed by John Gretzer. The National Journalism Conven- tion was held in Des Moines this year on December 2, 3, and 4. This is the first time it has ever been held in Iowa. Having it so near home made it possible for many of the staff members to attend. Our newspaper has served as a practi- cal worlcshop for many journalism students. Not only have they learned the fundamen- tal principles of journalistic writing and newspaper printing, but many have received a foundation for their future life's work. Paige Fifty-sev HISTORY OF PUBLICATIONS NCE upon a time, 1897 to be exact, the "Hill-Top Delver," a news publication, ap- peared at Abraham Lincoln high school. And, as an old annual puts it, it was issued 'Qfortnightlyf' Although facts are profuse telling of its success, few sources seem inclined to tell us why it failed. Nevertheless, the Hill-Top Delver went out, and the High School Echoes came in, with its first publication on December 17, 1901. The Nonpareil mentioned it as follows: "The first edition of the High School Echoes, the latest venture of the high school students in the realms of journalism, will appear today from the press of the Nonpareil. The paper consists of twelve pages, seven by eleven inches, and is as neat typographically as its contents are interesting." They attempted to print the full twelve pages twice a month, but the little mat- ter of financial difficulty arose, and the paper hastily changed to a monthly publication. Various changes have swept through our paper to make it the publication it is today. As if to compensate for the fewer number of papers, the Echoes once enlarged to a sixteen- page monthly. So the paper went merrily on its way. The World War came and went. But wait- thought the editors-if the United States can win a war, surely we can start a campaign. An eight-page bi-weekly paper was promptly published. Alternate staffs worked on the paper. By 1921, the Echoes was issued every Thursday. The present thriving 4-page, 7-column Echoes reaches more than two-thousand peo- ple. Compare that with the two-hundred subscribers of the Hill-Top Delverl But you should have seen the first of the Crimson and Blue! No, it wasn't a grand affair, but rather a little pamphlet. It was issued as Volume I in 1897. Not important, but quite interesting, is the fact that Lucius Pryor was the business manager of this first annual. And the contents were so different from those we have now. First of all, came about six pages of advertisements. Certainly, the schoo1's patrons received ample compensation for advertising in the senior annual. Then came some school yells. Oh, they were peach- es. Next, the "gray matter material" about class history, class prophecy, history of cadets, and history of athletics came. Upon counting the pictures, we find the huge number of -six. And that includes the pictures of the school administration, too. Not many years ago, the pictures had to be taken out of doors. Just as sure as pic- tures were scheduled for a Wednesday, the "ground hog just wouldn't see his shadow." Or it might be a cold day with the wind blowing briskly at one's hair. How nice it is now to walk peacefully into the auditorium for pictures, where weather is ignored. Each year, the annual chooses a theme. In 1918, the class motto was Rover the top," when the annual worked out the World War theme. From war to television-what can tomorrow foretell? Yes, Father Time grows older, but Abraham Lincoln publicaitons, though older with experience, grow ever youthful with their pep. Page Fifty eight R. o. T .c.

Page Sixty Reserve Officers' Training Corps NOTHER year-another regiment. An annual ball, followed by an annual inspection. But were these the only activ- ities in which our regiment of Junior R.O.T.C. cadets participated? If one could have accompanied us during our periods of drill, and if he could have realized our ac- complishments, he would not think so. It was October. Drill began with a formal announcement. Approximately 500 boys enrolled. Many were ugreenhornsf, Tests were given to the senior cadets, cov- ering basic theoretical and practical mater- ial. Those who survived were promoted to the rank of second lieutenant. As a result, a few newly-promoted officers experienced the thrill of wearing boots and commanding the companies at the first parade. Although the day was warm and the rifles became heavy, we were all inspired to do our best. Yes, we were all out of step, and our rifles were slightly crooked, but we were never- theless proud of our regiment. Soon after, the Cadet Officers' Club was organized. Ir was a new organization, but its purpose was old: we were deter- mined to bring this year's regiment to a bril- liant climax-the award of an honor rating at the Annual Federal Inspection. The winter followed-the time of year that discourages the eager personalities, when we must remain inside, discontinue close-order drill until better weather returns, and in the meantime listen to lectures. We covered a lot of material, however, and we knew it would be essential later. With the coming of spring, enthus- iasm mounted. The R.O.T.C. Manual be- came the constant companion of the offi- cers. The junior cadets were striving for the three stripes which designate a sergeant. The rifle range became popular with the girls. Why was such an impetus in activ- ity shown? Merely because spring had come? No, March 19, the date of the an- nual Military Ball, was nearing. Ir was considered the Hides of March" for many of us, for the last promotions were to be announced then. Honorary officers were to be presented, too. Finally the day arrived. Rumors con- cerning the identity of the top officers pre- vailed. Then on the evening of March 19 came the denouement. The ball will be remembered as one of the greatest ever held at school. The cadet and honorary officers were announced, from the lowest to highest ranks. Spectators saw members of the reg- ular army there, the national guard, offi- cers of the surrounding R.0.T.C. regiments, our parents and teachers. Here-in this large congregation-was illustrated the ac- complished air of the senior cadet, who real- ized it was his last promotiong the hope of the junior cadet, who was next in line of command, and the awe of the sophomore cadet, as yet inexperienced. All in all, it was an impressive, inspiring, and colorful display of school military life. After such excitement came the period of calm. All efforts were now concentrated upon the inspection. Individual companies assigned definite sulniects for study, upon which the inspector would question them.

It represents the highest division of the student body. Since the establishment of the National Honor Society in 1929 under the auspices of the Phi Beta Kappa, a national honorary fraterity, it has grown to be one of the leading national societies for those seeking distinction in the fields of scholarship, lead- erships, and, character. Of the entire class, only fifteen per cent are eligible. Five per cent of the members may be chosen in their junior year and ten percent may be chosen in the twelve one grade. The new members are not selected by the old members, but by a secret com- mittee composed of members of the faculty selected by the principal. This year the society sponsored the an- nual Road Show. The advertising and the sale of tickets were ably managed by the members. Wlienever the society has been called upon to do service for the school, its mem- bers have always responded cheerfullv and willingly so as to inspire those with whom they worked to a greater appreciation of what the honor student can attain.

Quill and Scroll UILL and Scroll membership is utopsv in writing for high school students. Nearly every state in the union boasts a chapter of this international honorary so- ciety. More than 20,000 journalists-in-the bud have a membership in Quill and Scroll as a result of their outstanding achievement in the scholastic writing field. Twelve years ago, a group of High School teachers met and organized this hon- orary society. It has done much to foster creative talent. Candidates must he in the upper third of their class scholastically and must have done superior work of some sort in jour- nalism. Outstanding members of the Echoes and Crimson and Blue staffs, recommended by the sponsors, make up the local group, known as the "Ding" Darling chapter.

Of all the participants in intersociety dehate, an Alpha was de- creed the hest sport. The society had a competent representative in the extempo- raneous speaking contest finals. They also reached the declamatory contest finals in the humorous division. The Alpha-Bye play was magnetic in its appeal. "Fresh Fields" had "yumph". So that each girl could anticipate the Part Sixty ight excellent programs in store, a yearbook of programs was published. Alpha pins have been popularized to such an extent that almost every girl has one. Last fall after a community supper, an exciting time was had at a roller skating party. Lovely cor- sages were presented to the mothers and seniors at the memorahle banquet held for them in the spring. And so another mem- ory-laden year for the Alphas came to an end.

But seriously, just try to think of taking 60-80-100-120-140 words a minute by hand. Do they use Palmer method? Wfell, it would be nice, but think for your- self. Tense moments they are as you take pen in hand and the dictator gets out her little time watch. Itis now or never. Each word is read but once. Pens are gripped tightly in clammy fists.

With formal initiation of its new mem- bers, the Spanish Club swung rapidly into action with an extensive program consisting of lectures given by Father Cobb, Mr. Chew, and Miss Hannigan. A talk on Mexico ac- companied by colored motion pictures was given by Mr. Leo Unger at a dinner held at the Y. M. C. A. As meetings are held every two weeks and each member talces an active part in the functioning of the club, an atmosphere of friendliness prevails throughout the group. A student to be eligible for membership must have had at least one semester of Span- ish or be taking it at the time of entering the club.

Its aim is to live up to the motto, "To face life squarely, to find and give the bestf' The Abraham Lincoln chapter renders many services to the school and to the cit- izens of the city. A reception tea is given for new girls of the school in the fall, each member contributes the money earned in one day of work to a service fund of the school, contributions are received from all students of the school during the month of November, Good Will Month, sponsored by all the service clubs, a Christmas party for all underprivileged children of the city is given, and joining the other service clubs, the Girl Reserves helps in preparing an Easter program. This year some of the members were able to attend Girl Reserves' conferences both in Omaha and Shenandoah. The in- spiration received at these conferences was delivered to the entire club, and the sug- gestions made will enable them to carry on this superior type of work next year. Forming a junior organization to the Girl Reserves is the Reservette Club. Al- though this is not a national organization, it serves as a stepping stone for the girls who wish to talce part in the nation-wide activities of the senior organization. The Creche children provide an oppor- tunity for service for the Reservettes. The girls entertain them at an annual Christ- mas party. In the spring semester the Reservettes give the reception for the new girls. They take part in the Easter pro- gram, and send their delegates to the Girl Reserves Area conferences. The two I-Ii-Y groups of Abraham Lincoln strive "To create, maintain, and ex- tend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian characterf' This year their accomplishments consisted of participation in Good Will Month, the sale of football pennants, tin footballs, and porn-poms-all of which formed their con- tribution to the service fund for the needy of our school. They join with the other service clubs to present the Easter program. The organizations carry on their tradition of attending church in a body every Sunday.

Activities RGANIZED in 1928, the Girls' Athletic association has been steadily growing. It was a local organization until 1933, at that time it became a member of the state system. Abraham Lincoln was the second school to join, due to the fact that the sponsor, Miss Mary Nix, served on the committee for the organization of the state point system. By sponsoring the Halloween party and the Valentine party, the G.A.A. raises money to sponsor activities. It also sponsors the Girls' Kid party and the sale of candy at the basketball games. The home room volleyball tournament, literary society tournament, and games with Thomas Jefferson and Bloomer junior high school for the promotion of girls' athletics are under the direction of the G.A.A. To promote posture, the G.A.A. sponsored the posture campaign. Girls in gym classes with good posture were given red buttons. If they kept these buttons for a period of six weeks without losing them through poor posture, they were awarded a blue button. Membership in the G.A.A. is limited to seventy-five girls. Any girl may become a member by paying 5.75 dues. To stay a member one must earn at least one hundred points a semester. Miss Abraham Lincoln l l O every senior member of the Girls' Athletic association the most coveted title is that of Miss Abraham , Lincoln, for she is the most representa- tive girl in girls' athletics. Althea Winfield was awarded this honorary title for her excellent posture, sincere cooperation, outstanding leader- ship in athletics, her good sportsmanship and interest in physical education and athletics. She was elected by popular vote of the Girls' Athletic association. To her credit she has a total of 1141 points, and is eligible for her state pin. Her favorite game is basketball, and V she has earned many of her points by l N being captain of basketball teams. Althea 1 l is fond of all outside social activites. She headed her organization, as presi- dent this last semester. Miss A. L. in Action Page Eighty-seven Irene Anderson Ruth Chapman Norma Coan Dorothy Durbin Barbara Moore Mzixine Neely Pat Stageman Althea Vsfinfielil Pauline Woods State Pins Y participation in various activities, members of the Girls' Athletic associa- tion earn points to qualify for awards. Any girl attaining 1000 points is entitled to a state pin. These points are earned by par- ticipation rather than ability. For every hour of participation in either organized activities at school or unorganized activities outside of school, four points are earned. It usually takes four years to earn the 1000 points, but because so many girls have at- tained this number in three years, a special award of a chenille letter for 1500 points is given. This year, Pauline Woods has earned 2500 points. This is the best record attain- ed by any girl in Abraham Lincoln. In 1934, Nina Korgan won the first state pin to be presented in Abraham Lincoln. Be- fore this time the Girls' Athletic association of Abraham Lincoln was not a member of the state organization. Letters and Monograms In order to get the first G.A.A. award of a monogram, a goal of 250 points must be attained. The second award offered for 500 points is a school letter. These awards are given on Honor Day. Front row: Shields, Underwood, Webster, Bacon. Second row: Durbin, Wiiifield, Chapman, Wmmtads Corin, Reid, Stageman, Neely, Moore.

URNISHING the background of many years' experience, the athletic coaches of Abraham Lincoln have brought us our first real taste of consistent success. The football and wrestling teams emerged with encouraging records and the basketball team reached even greater heights, winning the Missotiri Valley Conference championship and going to the State basketball tourna- ment. This is the first time that Abraham Lincoln has gone to the l'Stnte', in several BOYS' ATHLETICS years. Every athletic event was efficiently managed by the Director of Athletics, Mr. Miller. The Cheer Leaders, too, helped in bring- ing the students closer to the game and giving the team that "fighting spirit" that leads the Lynx on to victory. Ar every game and pep assembly, these cheer gen- erators were always on the job, efficiently handling the organized rooting.

This year Bob Knight, a freshman and the youngest of these broth- ers, not only made the first team, but was HY' the only Lynx wrestler to qualify for the State tournament. Thc SCHSUI1 plfllvcd tl, he 3 reasonalwly successful one for the Lynx grapplers, as they took second place in the Intercity and tied for third place with Gilmore City in the District tournament. The 1938 season inaugurated the first annual Inter-company wrestling tourna- ment. After three days of elimination, Com- pany F came out on top with 27 points, followed closely hy Companies E and B with 25 and Z3 points, respectively. The following boys were individual win- nets in their respective weights: Hunter, Company E, in the 85-pound weight, Arch, Company E, in the 95, Saunders, Company F, in the 1055 Higgins, Company G, in the 115, XV. Arch, Company E, in the 125g Shugart, Company C, in the 135, Chris- tiansen, Company A, in the 1455 Jalcsha, Company F, in the 155 and Schofield, Com- pany F, in the heavyweight class. In a post- season match these winners held the first team to a 21-21 draw. Don Reynolds, the Lynx 155-pounder, was elected captain of the wrestling squad at the close of the current season. Two former Lynx wrestlers were elected captain of their respective teams this year. jim Knight, a junior at the University of Nehraslca, was elected captain for the '38 season, and Carl Vergamini was elected captain of the University of Iowa wrestling squad for the 1939 campaign. District Results The A. L. boys did all right for them- selves in the District tournament, winning one second place and five third places. Bob Knight won second place in the 115-pound class, Grant Hunter won third place in the 85-pound class, John Beezley won third in the 125-pound class, George Durfee was third in the 135-pound class, Don Reynolds took third in the 155-pound class, and E1- mer Thompson won third place in the heavyweight class.

Alvin Kemplin, late in the .second quarter, drove over for the Lynx' only touchdown. In the first home game of the season, September 24, the Lynx met Logan High and battled to a 6-6 tie. An opening quarter march of 65 yards netted 6 points for the Lynx. Albert Gallo scored the touchdown. Having neither won nor lost their first two games of the year the Lynx were victorious over Glenwood by the unusal score of 11-7, October 14. A safety,Na dropkick by Herd, and a pass from Herd to Pinkston accounted for the eleven A. L. points. On October 9, at Lincoln, Nebraska, the Abraham Lincoln football team met defeat on a field of mud, by a score of 20-0. Sauer of Lincoln was the outstanding player of the game. X Sioux City's East High football team gained a 27-0 victory over the disabled Abraham Lincoln football team on Kim Field, October 22. Long passes accounted for the Black Raiders offense. , Outplaying Omaha Central, but losing, October 29, the Lynx won a moral victory by keeping the Central backfield at bay during the entire contest. An intercepted pass and a 35-yard runback gave Central a 6-0 victory. 1 The Lynxmen met and lost to the deceptive Mustangs at Shenandoah on November 3, by a score of 13-0. This win gave Shenandoah eighteen straight victories. The Thomas Jefferson football field was the scene of a thrilling, hard fought contest between Lynx and the Yellowjackets on Armistice Day. Abraham Lincoln led 12 to 9 at the end of the third period, but a 70 yard march in the closing minutes gave Thomas Jefferson a 15-12 victory. Passes from Albert Gallo to Warren Radtke netted two touch- downs for A. L. Scoring almost at will, the Abraham Lincoln football team defeated the Iowa School for the Deaf 25 to 0, November 19, on a snow-covered field. The feature of the game was Charles Herd's 85-yard return of the opening kickoff. Both Herd and Tennant scored twice for A. L. Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln met for the second time of the year on Kirn Field, Thanksgiving Day afternoon. The Yellowjackets held the Lynx to a 6-6 tie, how- ever, A. L. led in first downs 12-2. Jack Bigley made the A. L. touchdown. Pag Ninety vn Front row: Shaw, Cln'istcvfici'Scn, Friar, Spry, Herd, Tennant, Gallo, blanks.

The Lynx basketeers displayed mid-season form from the very first and pro- ceeded to pile up the best won and lost record in several years. For the second straight year the Lynx defeated the Nebraska State champions. Last year A. L. defeated South twice, and this season Lincoln fell victim likewise. The Lynxmen won the Missouri Valley conference, placed third in the Intercity, won the sectional and district tournaments, but were eliminated by Franklin of Cedar Rapids in the State tournament at Des Moines. Warren Radtke was placed on the first All-State team, first All-Southwest Iowa team, and on the first All-Intercity team. Boots Gallo was placed on the first All-Southwest Iowa team and received honorable mention on the Intercity squad. Ray Tennant also received honorable mention on the Intercity team. Each member of the A. L. squad had his spectacular game. Ray Tennant made 16 points against Atlantic, Warren Radtke accounted for 17 in the second Lincoln game, Earl Rinehart scored 16 against St. Francis, Cot Wright made 13 points at Creston, and Albert Gallo scored 20 points in the finale with Central.
