This system has proved fairly successful but is undergoing minor changes. The junior council has used a committee system tor a long time, and with Mrs. Mabel I. Robbins de- voting much time to group conferences, the organ- ization has a city-wide reputation of excellency. .At each meeting, the council adopts a slogan which all juniors concentrate on for the Week. Sponsoring a Merry Christmas drive to bring toys for unfortunate children was one of many com- mendable projects completed by the junior council this semester. ff 1,7 lincoln Clippers 1.

Now that the season has ended, and the suits are cleanedand hung up until next year, the 1944 football story may be told. With a new coach, Max McCord, and a new spirit, the Railsplitters got off to a fast start with two victories, the first over lndianola 27-65 and the second, Chariton 52-0. But upon entering city competition, the Abes didn't fare so well. Roosevelt and West Were stopped, but the team, one of Lincoln's lightest, could not hold oft the Weight of East and North. A victory over Valley gave the team a record of three wins, three losses, and two ties. Although this team may have been short ot weight and experience, it more than made amends by its tight and spirit. So tar . . . three cheers for Lin- coln's cagersl Coach Max McCord has led both first and second team basket- ball boys through five victorious games in a 15-game schedule. The scores follow: Valley 27-13g Osceola 42-215 Des Moines Tech Basketball Bang-board rolling up. And every Lincolner is standing behind the boys to keep them on the victory road.
