Peace and Plenty. Father Time enters and also greets those on the stage. Mother Earth enters and also greets Father Time and the attendants. They discuss whether the human race appreciates their work. Time de- fends them and Mother Earth tells him he is wrong. Peace decides it by suggesting that they bring a mortal family up here and let him explain what he means by giving thanks. They decide that Peace is right. Peace and Plenty depart on their errand. The remaining four sing until Peace and Plenty enter bringing the human family consisting of grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, son and daughter. The grandfather. father and son praised the crops. The mother says that her way of en- joying the crops would be to eat them. Grandmother says that she would share them with others. The father and son say that the women folks don't seem to care wheit- it comes from. Ceres and Father Time agree with father and son.

It Pays to Advertise so we had an effective Publicity Committee composed of Margaret Dennison. Olive Shaw, Earl Hamilton, and Everett Myers with Francis Holliger as spokeswoman.

LINCOLN STUNTS GOOD ENGLISH The first public appearance of the Lincoln Freshmen was during Good English week. when six of our numbed were given the privilege of representing our school before the three High Schools assembled at Central High. They presented an allegory written by Evelyn Blue and Lois Kestle whose purpose was to impress the school with the necessity of Better English. Ralph Rosenberg. who represented the colloquial boy, proved himself very clever and humorous. as slang phrases were given both naturally and originally. Evelyn Blue represented newly coined words and brought out the great importance of Better English. which in every day life is almost unknown to her. James Parker played the part of archaic words by dressing as a very old man who was tottering and nearly ready to depart from this life. Thomas Fletcher by dressing as a ghost showed that the obsolete words are those of the past, and whose time of service in the world has long since passed. Henry Brown, who represented the doctor, by using the technical' terms played well his part. in fact we believe that there is a chance that he might some time make a doctor of himself.
