' fi FORWARD F OREWORD We have endeavored to embody in this book, if it is possible to embody in bare print, some of the distinct conno- tations and characteristics of Lincoln high. It is not our desire that this book be merely a record of past eventsg we have attempted to convey herein an ex- pression of what our school life has meant to us. lf, at any time, this book can impart to the reader remembrances of Lincoln high, it will have achieved its destiny. The illustration, Forward,,' on the opposite page, by Dwight Kirsch, an alumnus, may be said to symbolize the spirit of all who have ever caught the inspiration of Lincoln high school.

Miss Pound's time is divided into three parts. The first part is spent in teaching Lating the second part is used in assisting girls who want part time work to find suitable positionsg the third part of her timle is devoted to administrative work-in advising girls in their registration, in locating those who have dropped out of school and in helping them return. ln addition she sponsors the All Girls League. Her influence over the girls in the high school is exceptional because she has the interest of every girl at heart. Charles L. Culler assumed the duties of assistant principal in the fall of 1919. He has been a teacher in Lincoln high school since 1917. Besides his work as assistant principal, he conducts classes in mechanical drawin and mathematics. lVIr. Culler Q . n g 4 1 ma be seen anv da' durm lunch period hohnohblnv with bovs and he does it because Y, . D 1 g ,. . he likes to be with them.

SHORT MISS GERTRUDE ,IUNES One morning near the end of the first semester of our freshman year, the principal called a class meeting and presented the problem of selecting sponsors. With taste and discrimination quite remarkable considering our immaturity, we chose Miss Short and Miss Hullhorst to guide us. At the beginning of our sophomore year Miss Hullhorst was forced to resign as sponsor owing to other duties which required her attention. llliss Mecia Stout was selected to fill the vacancy, but shortly afterward she left school to be married. Then we elected Miss Jones and, despite the example set by her predecessors, she remained with us during the last two and one-half years of our school life. A sponsor has no sinecure. The duties of a class sponsor are a combination of those of a guardian angel, a financial secretary, and a fairy godmother. In the early days of a class when organization is in the embryo stage, the sponsors are working hard to make it a unit, trying to weld all the diversified aims and interests in the class into that highly important thing called class spirit. They must attend class meetings and act as chaperons at parties. The sponsors must also keep close check upon expenditures and approve committee appointments. lVIiss Jones and Niiss Short have been incomparable sponsors. Class affairs have kept them so busy that they have not had time for outside interests. They have sat up late into the night making plans for us, and, as they have confessed, even their dreams are filled with the class and its problems. VVhatever plan the class was about to enter upon they have always been ready to advise and willing to help. Any success the class has had-any good impression we may leave upon the school has been in part due to the work and influence of our sponsors, Bliss Short and Yliss Jones. -171 AACH, ADELE Your eyes have told mc so.

WELCH, WILLIAM 'iAt whose sight all the stars Hide their diminish'd headsf, CLASS I-IISTGIQI It was one Monday morning in September, 1916, when the teachers and upper- classmen in Lincoln high school realized that something unusual was going on. Eight hundred and five freshmen set foot for the first time in the corridors of L. H. S. Before long they proclaimed themselves the class of 1920. Several class meetings were held for the purpose of organizing the class. Carl Seiffert was intrusted with the task of starting the class on the right path. Soon afterward, Miss Short and Miss Hullhorst were elected class sponsors. lt is said that large bodies move slowly until they gain their stride. So it was with that freshman class. The class did not start to do 'fbig things but worked quietly along getting acquainted with the new conditions which confronted them. A constitution was drawn up and approved by the members. The president for the second semester was James Miller. During this time, the United States declared war against Germany. Many of the members of the upper classes left school for army life or to work on farms, and the freshman class seemed to gain importance. We started our year as sophomores under a new principal. Mr. Frank G. Pickell took Mr. Newlon's place as principal of the high school. The sophomores were now able to walk down the middle of the corridors and not even turn aside for the senior as he advanced from the opposite direction. About this time also the class embarked on its social career. A party for sophomores only was held in the library in the evening fyes, we could go out at night nowj. We had good music and many of the class joined in games and dancing for the first time. Boyd Wilson was our president for the first semester. lwiss Hullhorst, one of our sponsors, resigned her position in the class this semester on account of other duties which demanded her time and attention. It was with much regret that the class saw her go, as a great many of the good times which we had enjoyed were due to her. Miss Jones was selected to take her place and has been our patron saint ever since. The sophomores now began to let the other classes hear from them. The Neighbors was selected for the class play and presented in assembly. Nellie Star- board and Edgar Holyoke played the leading parts. The play was a real success and made a great hit with the students. Verne Lewellen was elected president of the class as we started on our junior year. Representatives were elected from the junior home rooms to form an executive committee. They planned several good programs of class talent which were pre- sented in class meetings. On November eleven, the day of the signing of the armistice, the juniors did their part in actively celebrating with fire-crackers and anything else which made a noise. No one present will forget the big assembly and then the parade in the afternoon. H -53.. Soon after this came the Christmas party in the library. Decorations were in green and white, the class colors. lt was a holiday party and a good sized crowd of juniors turned out. Beck's orchestra furnished the music and the party was a real get-togethern after three weeks of enforced influenza vacation. On account of the shortened semester the junior play was put off until after the holidays. When the second semester began, Herbert Brownell, Jr., was elected president. The Romancers, by Rostand, was selected for the class play. All members of the class worked to make this play a success. It was presented on February 21, and lived up to expectations. Marion Boynton and Bruce Mitchell took leading parts in this quaint French play of the sixteenth century. ln the spring the girls of the class won for the juniors the championship in the girls swimming meet. The class pins arrived about this time and even seniors glanced admiringly at the L. H. S. ,2O pins which the juniors Wore. A matinee party was given under the direction of the junior class one Friday afternoon. A nickel ad- mission was charged and a good sum was cleared to help towards entertaining the seniors later in the spring. Then 326, with all the seniors Cyes, we were honest-to-goodness seniors nowj. Together every morning in home room We started on our last year of high school life. Rex Smith was elected president. Plans were started for color day which came in October. The day really began about midnight when a committee of boys began to blow up 700 balloons. In the morning each senior was provided with a green and white balloon and a hat made in class colors. We marched as a body to the auditorium for an assembly of class talent. Our class song was sung there for the first time in public. Nearly everyone in the class attended the banquet held at the cafeteria in the evening. There were clever toasts and plenty of good things to eat. After the banquet came an evening of games and dancing in the library. The day was a great success. The old dictionary stand which had long outserved its purpose as a speaker's desk at assemblv was buried at the senior color day assembly. Therefore as a Christmas gift the senior president, on behalf of the class, presented a handsome oak speaker's stand to the school. Senior open night followed soon after the vacation caused by the nation-wide coal shortage. The senior class gave a dance in the library for all the school. A good sized crowd attended and pronounced the party a success in every way. After an exciting election, Robert F. Craig was chosen to lead the class through its last semester in L. H.S. Afternoon class meetings and parties were scheduled for every other week. Good programs, dancing, and pie-feeds were not an uncommon occurrence during this last semester. In many of the campaigns and happenings about school the senior class took a leading part. When there was trouble about the order in the halls during the lunch periods, the senior boys organized to remedy it. The seniors also started the movement in school toward practical thrift. Both the boys and girls without going to extremes, pledged themselves to economize on their buying of new clothes in every practical way. Toward the end of the year, the senior girls captured the championship in the girls swimming meet. The Man of the Hour, by Broadhurst, was presented as the senior class play on April 16 and I9 in the auditorium. The play broke all records for attendance and quality of production. Tickets for the first production were sold out on the first day of public reservations. Over one thousand People saw the second per- formance on the following Monday evening. The play received a great deal of favorable comment from the newspapers of the city. Frances Thorson and Garrett Burt took the leading parts in a large cast of exceptionally good actors and actresses. The seniors have reason to feel proud when they remember this play. Seldom has a class shown better spirit toward an unpleasant incident than the seniors showed over the abolishment of senior picnic day. Not long after the opening of the second semester, the principal had approved the plans of a committee of senior boys for an Olympics contest between the senior and junior classes. This athletic contest was planned as an organized way of matching the strength of the upper classes. Olympics day was made a school holiday. ln the afternoon the seniors held a picnic. The plan included the signing of a treaty of peace between the seniors and juniors in assembly on the day of the junior-senior picnic. The class of 1920 also originated the idea of holding a farewell banquet and party on the last day of regular school in their high school life. Our last four weeks before graduation were full of interest all the time. In rapid succession came the Olympics, the junior-senior, senior picnic, class day, and the last banquet and party when the class was all together. The last weeks were perhaps the happiest of all the four years. lt has been said that history repeats itself, but the history of the class of 1920 will be a hard one to duplicate. -Herbert Brownell, Jr., ,2O Spring uf 1920 Oh Spring, O Spring!

After two years of youthful storm and stress the class of IQZI numbering three hundred and seventy-seven has arrived safely at juniority, where the class is able to look hack with complacency upon the mistakes and follies of the fledgling. The class he-came conscious of its importance with the securing of the class pins, which as juniors they wear proudly. A junior class party was planned in Ueceniber but, fate in shape of the coal shortage prevented its taking place. But even fate could not prevent the presentation of Alice Sit-by-the-Fire, one of the most successful class plays that has been given. The junior class is also talented in other directions. It has an orchestra of its own, a glee club, and two of the nicest sponsors, Nliss Price and Miss lilclllahon. -63... bupbumnre Qlllass l I Top Rafts: Koby Sirinsky, Robert Stevens, Merle Hebbard, john VVilson.

In 1919 this class began its career and the members believed themselves to be the most intelligent class of 'lFreshies'l ever in this school. They stood a little in awe of the seniors, and tried hard to follow in their footsteps. lt is not surprising therefore that the sophomores are such an exceptionally brilliant class. They excel in both wisdom and appearance. Wisdcmln was shown by the selection of officers and sponsors. just see what pretty girls and what good looking boys are sophomores. They are a class of great promise. The class already has done many things which have attracted favorable atten- tion. For instance, the sophomore girls basketball team is a wonder. At the tourna-1 ment this year they defeated the freshmen, but of course it was not to be expeeted that they could outclass the seniors. The debating team cannot be surpassed. The debaters are David Webster, Hugh Cox and Robert Chase. This team defeated the freshmen, the juniors and even the seniors. These debaters make their opponents tremble. The class owes much of their success to the two sponsors, Miss Clark and lVIrs. Nloseley, which debt can be paid only by greater success in the next two years. -Dorothy Hilcher, ,22 -g4- jfresbman Ctlllass Tap Roms: George Fitzsimmons, Sam Bignell, Kieth Miller, Glen Carlile, Frank Corrick.

VVhen we were in the polliwog state of school life, when our verdancy stood out like a sore thumb and we had just emerged from hair ribbons to hairpins and from knickers with worn knees to trousers with creases down the front, we were all classed together in one term-freshmen. For the first two or three weeks we were actually afraid to turn around for fear we might bump into some wise upper classman who would be sure to know we were freshies . But our fears of the superior ones soon vanished, for hir. Pickell told us one day in assembly that they really liked us and were only making fun of us when they jeered at our innocent questions. We decided that Odysseus on his way to Ithaca had no more exciting adventures than we, in growing accustomed to the regular routine of work, with Zig-Zag programs and lunch at different hours on different days. When we ran all around second floor trying to find a room in the three hundreds, no beautiful HLady of the Lake came to our rescue as she did to James Fitz-James. The teachers were the only sympathetic guides we found. There were eight hundred and twenty-four of us, a conglomerate mass, an art collection of humanity. Yet, with child-like faith and simplicity, we took advantage of our elevated position as high school students and planned parties and one glorious assembly, plans which Clife is hardj, were cruelly thwarted by the coal shortage vacation. Yet we did not lose hope, and the second semester plans were successful. Erma Dawson was our first presidentg Louise Van Sickle, vice-president, Irene Ingold, secretary, Sam Hignell, treasurer, and Kieth lwiller, editor.

The student council of Lincoln high school after three years of hard work and :earnest effort, has reached the goal set up in 1917 when the provisional student council was organized. The members have aimed to reach the point where the council would he able to stand alone. They have accomplished their purpose. All council meetings this year have been attended only by the members, who have also had direct charge of their activities and projects. Probably never before have the council members been brought into closer contact with the student body and never have they received such large and genuine response to the requests of the council. Not only have the successful activities of former councils been continued but new ones have been inaugurated. The progress made this year is due in a large measure to the splendid help of the students and members of the faculty. From the first it Was evident that the new council was out to start new customs 'md to accomplish whatever it set out to do. At the first meeting of the year Ethel Upton was chosen president, the first girl to be elected to that position since the organization of the council. At the same time Herbert Brownell, Jr., was elected -66- l P + I vice-president and Robert E. Craig, secretary. Four former members of the council were re-elected while one member was chosen to serve for a third consecutive year. For the second semester Charles Adams was elected to lead the council. Margaret Hager was elected vice-president and Leslie Cadwallader, secretary. One of the new activities of the student council was the giving of motion picture shows to the students in the high school auditorium. The plan proved popular with the students and gained in interest and benefit as -it was Worked out more com- pletely. The shows were given as Friday matinees with an admission price of not over ten cents to cover the cost of the production. Only the best films were shown. Music and other features were furnished by high school students. About the middle of the year the students in a vote taken in the home room expressed themselves in favor of the continuance of the shows. Financially, also, the plan was successful. Besides using the machine which had lain idle for three years, enough money was cleared to purchase a moving picture screen, a motor for the machine, and several other improve- ments in the equipment. All services connected with the showing of the pictures were donated by students. The council members feel that this project will develop rapidly. During the first week of November, just preceding the big Topeka football game, the council conducted the annual school color days. ln the two days before the game, the council through the home room representatives sold red and black caps, arm-bands and ribbons to the students. Every available cap and arm-band in the city was sold long before the second day was over. At the Red and Blackn assembly held on the second day under the auspices of the council a mock trial was conducted. The school cheer leaders were placed on trial before a jury composed of the football team. An officer of the Lincoln police force who guarded the 'fprisonersu added much merriment to the trial. Mernbers of the faculty were cross-examined by the attorneys for both sides. After an exciting session the cheer leaders were sentenced to lead the school in cheering for the rest of the school year. One of the largest crowds of the season, wear- ing the red and black colors, watched the football team defeat Topeka by a score of 34 to 0. Alternating with other activities on Friday afternoon, the council conducted xnatinee parties in the high school building. These parties were as popular as any activity of the council. They took the form of dances, sometimes preceded by a pro- gram of school talent in the auditorium. The music was furnished free of charge by rhe students. These parties, which always drew large crowds were under the super- vision of a committee of the council. lyloney to take the band to Omaha was raised in a campaign conducted by the council members. The home room representatives collected small donations from the students and easily raised the necessary amount. The council also had a committee to entertain the visiting football teams on their arrival in Lincoln. The teams were taken to a hotel and afterwards usually shown the city. They were taken to and from the football field. The 1920 carnival proved to be the most successful event of its kind ever given in Lincoln high. A committee of council members in cooperation with the faculty committee had charge of the carnival. Several thousand people crowded the corridors, and a large sum was raised for the fund for worthy student activities. The student council took charge of selling tickets to the home basketball games. VV'ith the home room representatives the council members Worked to get the students cut to the games. Every home game was played before a large crowd of loyal L. H. S. rooters. Later, when fifteen hundred high school boys visited Lincoln for the state basketball tournament, the council provided an evening entertainment for them. llany of the school organizations were represented on the program. The memorial tablet for those Lincoln high school boys who gave their lives in the service of their country in the World War, was presented to the school toward the end of the year. A committee of the council had worked with the Service Record committee for over a year to secure material and provide for this tablet. The hand- I ,ML some bronze plate, placed almost opposite the service flag at the main entrance will bear evidence of the part which Lincoln high school students played in the great war. Another project which the council undertook to accomplish was the placing of two trophy cases in the front corridor of the building. The cups had for a long time been placed out of sight of visitors in the building. The plans for the cases were drawn by a high school student. Many improvements about the building have been sponsored by the council. All the fences on the high school campus were taken down and a campaign started to have everyone keep off the lawns. The council cooperated in seeing that all automobiles were parked in the new parking place constructed this year. Soap pumps for the dressing rooms were provided. The drinking fountains were repaired. The council established headquarters in room 201. A student council sign was placed there and a box provided for communications from the students. Late in the year came the request for money for the gift for France. The council and representatives were put in charge of the high school campaign. No student was allowed to contribute more than ten cents. ln two days the quota was over-sub- scribed by a good margin. Several amendments to the constitution of the student council were adopted during the year. These amendments were to remedy defects in the constitution brought out by actual operation. The number of members on the council was changed from twenty to twenty-two. Before the change the captain of the athletic team in season and the editor of the Advocate were ex-officio members of the council but at the same time were counted as representatives of the classes to which they belonged. Several complications in membership followed. As provided in the amend- ment the council now consists of twelve seniors, six juniors, two sophomores, the editor of the school paper, and the captain of the athletic team in season. Another amend- ment provided that student council members might not be elected home room repre- sentatives. Each council member is an ex-officio member of that body but does not have the power to cast a vote. Other less important amendments were passed. After the constitution was approved, several hundred copies were printed. A special election was held in the second semester, occasioned by the changes in the constitution. The new members elected to the council were Fern Jackson, Edna Davis, and Don Olds. The number of the council was for the first time brought up to twenty-two members. The council brought to the school the University Players for a Friday afternoon matinee. The players presented, lt Pays To Advertise , which was greatly enjoyed by the pupils. During the debating season, the council started a campaign to back the debating team. An active ticket selling contest was waged between the freshmen and sopho- more classes. More interest in the debating schedule was urged by the council and all afternoon entertainments interfering with debate or any other school activity were called off. During the year several student councils have been formed in other Nebraska high schools. Some of these schools have written to Lincoln to know the form of organization here. This sort of student cooperation in the high school government seems to be gaining headway over the state. These are the main accomplishments of the 1919-1920 student council. The council, put on a firm basis, now has an assured and lasting place in the school. Its whole foundation is based on the active cooperation of the students and the faculty. Much credit is due the home room representatives for their part in the work of the year. The councils yet to come can accomplish a great deal for the school. Their purpose should also be, as stated in the constitution, to foster a sentiment in the school, to provide opportunities for student cooperation in the internal government of the school, to provide for worthy student activities, and to promote the general welfare of the schoolf, -Herbert Brownell, Jr., '2O. L65- The itanme Baum Representative Baby The home room representative body is the connecting link between the student council and the students at large. This group is composed of students elected from every home room in the building and representing that home room. As problems pre- sent themselves, meetings are called by the president of the student council and the questions discussed. The representatives then report to their respective home rooms the action taken. This organization also takes charge of selling athletic and motion picture tickets and on color day they handled the sale of caps and arm bands. The members are as follows: Dorothy May Philip Sidles Israel Rubinow Carl Brown Wesley Gratz Gladys Sidles Marguerite Nelson Marshall Neely Henry Clark Bernard Warren Margaret Sweet Dorothea Crosby Olive Kier Dorothy Davis Edward Borgens Ruth Clayton Don McBride Cleo Crawford Amsden Gooch Erma Dawson Claire Mullowney Lois Richeson Frances Wineland DeLos Coe Lela Askine Frank Corrick Frederick Teal Richard Williams Glen Dean Douglas Orr Ruth Tanner Robert Stephens Evelyn Reddig Vernon Mitchell Lillian Finke Margaret Hyde Ransom Proudfit Clyde Harding Kathryn Dillon Mildred Hunt Joe Winterhalter Adrian Schaaf Helen Bradberg Gerald Hughart Wendell Berge Alice Springer Ruth Judge Thelma Martin Thelma Cunningham Zella Hickey Thomas Curran Carol Cornell Richard Dunker Arthur House Lyle Holland Verne Lewellen Bruce Mitchell Marion Mayer Lloyd Metheny Ruth Taylor Lucille Vanderhoof David Zolat l I' ZIII girls league Top Rofw: Dorothy Fitzsimmons, Arthella Gadd, Alice Mathieson, Ruth Tanner, Blanche Burt, Edna Davis. llliddle Row: Ruth North, Doris Gratz, Madeline Haecker, Hazel Fickes.

The aim and purpose of the All Girls League is to further the building up of girls activities and to give the girls themselves a voice in deciding their own problems. This is done by means of mass meetings which are conducted and attended by the girls alone. Every girl automatically becomes a member of the league upon her entrance in Lincoln high school. The cabinet members are chosen by the girl members of the student council and the presiding ollicer is a girl official in that organization. Nliss Pound, adviser for girls, acts as sponsor. The big sisteru movement was started by the league and has proved a great success. .-jot Qhhncate Staff Tap Roux' Gerald Hugliarr, Knox Burnett, Oscar Baumann, james Miller, 'XVill1er Peterson.

This year faculty and students united to make it not only a school, but also a community project. Better English posters lined the walls of the halls and placards adorned the rooms. Placards also appeared in the windows of the down town stores to impress upon the community the importance of this movement. A tag day was inaugurated at the school when students and teachers were tagged upon making an error in their English. Rhymes and limericks were written with which to keep the subject always in the students' minds. Lastly, two assemblies were held, in one the better English speakers who appeared in the theaters delivered their speeches to the students and in the other Dr. Bixby spoke and a playlet was presented. lt would seem that events would be in a chaos all the time with so many things to be attended to, but through the splendid organization and management of the committee appointed by Miss Sarah T. Nluir and consisting of members of the school faculty all complications were avoided. The committees were as follows: publicity and publication, lVIiss lkliller, Miss Gray, lXfIr. Betzerg assembly, lN'Iiss Atkins, lNIiss Muir, Nlrs. Newlon and N112 Fergusong posters and placards, Miss Kirk, Miss Duncombe, Rliss Fitz Gerald. and llliss Wilsong projects, Bliss Putney, Bliss Foster, Bliss Armstrong, Miss Green and Miss Glass. The posters and placards were prepared by students in the art department. In the contest for the best poster, first prize was awarded to Miss Frances Thorson, second prize to Harold Gish. Perkins Harnly and Mariam Seymour received honor- able mention. lVIiss Grant of the university art department judged the posters. Through the courtesy of local theatre managers it was made possible for speakers to appear in the down town theaters to give talks on subjects relating to better English week. The following students were chosen to do this work: Frances Newens, Helen Quimby, Evelyn Hiller, Lula Cunningham, LaVern Brubaker, David Halbersleben, Dorothy Greenhalgh and Joel Cornish. ln a contest, held in the auditorium Wednesday' before an assembly to determine the best speaker, Frances Newens was awarded first place by the judges. The contest was judged by a com- mittee from the English department. In the assembly on the last day an excellent program was enjoyed. A speech by Dr. Bixby of the State Journal staff and a playlet given by the students were the two things of greatest interest on the program. Dr. Bixbyls speech revolved around his statement that there are six kinds of English: good, better, best, bad, beastly and - lr l in - 4 5 -9-3, abominable. The playlet was a one-act comedy entitled, Ready-to-VVear, written by the members of the Writers Club. The cast of characters follows: Mr. Piller ........ .................... I ulian Kateley lklrs.

The movement for better speech this year took unexpected proportions in the United States. ln practically every high school from California to Maine, and from Michigan to Texas a week in November was set aside as better English week. ln many places, and this does not mean alone small places, but also cities of over one hundred thousand population, the whole community observed better English Week. Those in a position to know state that next year will be even more successful. - nam , READ mat ,a l X . , Thrift Qiampaign lf the general public took the same action in economizing on clothing as the students of Lincoln high school undertook when they inaugurated their thrift cam- paign, perhaps fewer complaints would be heard on the subject of high prices. lt must be admitted that the girls were first to act. Friday morning, March 20, the girls met in the auditorium and all signed pledges not to wear silk hose to school. The senior boys, who had not been included in the movement, caught the spirit of the thing and held an impromptu meeting in room 326. Speeches were made advocat- ing the adoption of a uniform to be made of denim or similar material. This plan was considered, but opinion favored wearing out old clothing one had on hand and not purchasing expensive graduation suits. lt was decided that khaki, wool and even blue work-shirts were more appropriate than expensive silk ones. The boys also voted to go without neckties. This thrift campaign was a little prototype of the overall club movement which later spread over the entire country, but it has achieved more lasting results than the latter. 174- Senior QBIJBII fight The time has come, the Walrus said, To talk of many things, Of ships and shoes and sealing wax, And cabbages and kings. And why the sea is boiling hot, And whether pigs have wings . -And whether Lincoln high school had an open-night party last year to equal the one sponsored by the class of ,2O. The challenge, so jauntily given by the class of '19, was eagerly accepted, and y2O lived up to her reputation of something better. The affair was an uncertain innovation last year, but this year it was an assured success from the morning when the senior president announced that tickets were on sale. Everyone came who held a ticket and many who did not. Upon this one occasion games were dispensed with, much to the satisfaction of all, and dancing was king of the revels. Because a rather large number of boys came to the party unaccompanied by girls, tag dancing became the order of the evening. Rivalry waxed strong. Under- classmen became sufficiently bold to venture to tag even the senior girls Cwho, by the way, had completely abandoned their dignity and were not so much to be feared, after alll. They smiled so brightly and chatted so gaily with these lesser lights that a casual observer might have believed them to be equals. The merriment was at its height when the class president, from the impressive height of the library desk, announced Cno request was heardl that tag dancing must cease. bt. iBatrirk's EBay St, Patrick was duly honored on his birthday by seniors of the Lincoln high school who thus slipped in another color day. It happened that the class of l2O chose for their colors the green and white by which we honor the great Irishman. Green collars or green head pieces were worn by every senior pouring forth from 326 at the close of home room period Wednesday morning, March 17, 1920. Some of the g'mighty entered still further into the spirit of the occasion by using green ink in their pens. A special assembly was held just to let the seniors show themselves off, and even Mr. Frank G. Pickell was honored by being allowed to wear a green crown on his masterful brow. 175- Q Svzniur Clliulur Rap We were arranged in single Hle without any particular regard for beauty or sym- metry except that we marched alternately, a boy and a girl. On account of this, l fancy we represented some contrasts, which were at once startling and amusing to the onlooker. Here the beholder would perhaps see a tall, lank senior boy bearing his balloons as if somewhat disconcerted at being seen with such a childish toy in his hands, while pattering directly behind him would be a plump little senior girl, her green crown perched perilously on her head, as she strove earnestly to appear queenly. Then one might see a short, pudgy boy endeavoring to look dignified and serious under the double handicap of a too-short stature and his toy balloons. Later in assembly the spectator saw a choppy sea of bobbing caps, crowns and balloons. A few adventurous balloons' started out to discover what the top of the auditorium was made of: and, floating lazily through the air, their altitude was finally limited by the dome of the hall. But the seniors were happy. They laughed and chatted and sang their class song and executed their yells so vigorously that the deserted corridors outside echoed and re-echoed. And the balloons! They took as much pleasure in those green and white bubbles as so many children. They shook them and waved them and patted their smooth sides caressingly. If they broke, their owners laughed uproarously, for no reason whatever. But this excitement hushed somewhat as the program of the morning began. The class song, delivered earnestly, was written by lylarylouise Bryan and Edna Davis. To Genevieve Wilson belongs the distinction of having composed the music for it. Followed a soprano solo by Ethel Upton. Margaret Hager then gave a vivacious reading which received much applause. Musical numbers by the string quartet, boys quintet and girls chorus brought to a close one of the most heartily enjoyed assemblies of the year. Classes were then resumed, but considerable excitement prevailed all day. Green and white are conspicuous colors and apparently no one seemed able to resist the lure of those balloons as they danced at a tantalizing height, and upon the slightest provoca- tion any passer-by felt justified in administering a pin prick. That evening at half-past six, a banquet was served in the cafeteria. About two hundred sixty attended, the largest number of guests ever entertained at the annual senior banquet. Rex Smith, class president, was toast-master and introduced the following speakers and their subjects: Seeds , lylrs. Andersong Nuts , Ruth Taylor, Squashes , Frances Newensg Doughnuts , Carl Bryant, Pumpkins , Knox Burnett, The Harvestu, Miss Pound. Everyone withdrew immediately after the dinner to the library for games and dancing. The passage of time was completely forgotten until everyone was rudely recalled at eleven o'clock by the strains of 'AI-Iome Sweet Home . Of course, everyone did what was expected of him and went home with a happy and yet a rather lonesome feeling, for he knew that his high school career was nearing a close. The fdiarnihal If the ghost of Ponce De Leon walked abroad in Lincoln Friday night, March 12, 1920, it must finally have satisfied its long quest for the fabled fountain of youth, for the much sought fountain was finally unearthed in Lincoln high school, and the magic waters were found to be nothing but three kindred spirits of Carnival- fun, frivolity and foolishness. Seized by these mystic three, gray haired old ladies forgot themselves and became girls again, laughing and playing with all the abandon of children, serious, spectacled fathers forgot their dignity and threw confetti like sand-lot ball stars, even the janitors, forgetting for the time the Price of a Good Timely were seen smiling now and then, although their faces grew long and haggard when they thought of the broom and dustpan of tomorrow. When the crowd began to arrive at 7:30 all was set to receive them. Shows, food of all kinds, drinks and things too numerous to mention started immediately after the great parade in which every conceivable kind of costume was displayed in the endeavors of the participants to win the coveted prize. Dancing at 9:3o. Those were the magic words that drew the crowd to the third floor as surely as a loadstone attracts a pin. And the dancers-Dutch maids, French maids, American maids, yes and even tailor maids, skipped and twirled in the arms of colored 'fgemmunu from Dixie, specially imported for the grand minstrel show, 'AA Revel in Black and White. About 10:30 things began to slow down. Some, tired out, had gone home and others not so tired had centered on the third floor, determined to be in at the kill. But all good things must come to an end. Gradually the lights winked out and the last departing revelers wandered homeward. As the ghost of the great Spaniard, granted he was abroad, drifted toward repose, he was joined by three more, and finally by a fourth, the spirits of four past and gone carnivals.

Never having been a student council member, you probably don't realize fully whereof I speak . Marion breathed an experienced sigh. 'lThe matinee party is the favorite protege of the student council, you know, and we have to assume the liabilities as well as the assets-in other words, we get the blame. Well, yesterday all details had worked themselves out to the general satisfaction, the orchestras were engaged, the gymnasium was cleared and everything promised to go off serenely. We might have known! An irritated expression showed for a moment in the brown eyes. K'What was my grief and horror upon arriving at school this morning to learn that the pianist had measles and couldn't get out for a week. I should have sympathized, but I wasn't at all sorry for her. The ideal VVhy, I demanded, couldn't she have waited until tomorrow to get her measles? However, it was unquestionably our duty to find someone else. I finally ferreted out a girl who, after the proper amount of coaxing and flattering on my part and coquettish shyness on hers, consented to play for us. But she warned me, HI utterly refuse to play jazz Baby'. I hastily assured her that she could play whatever she chose. By that time I was in a state of mind in which I would have agreed to anything she wanted, even if she desired to reconstruct the entire musical scheme. IVe were so fearful that she might escape us that someone escorted her tenderly about all day, and it was with a great feeling of relief that we finally ushered her trium- phantly into the gymnasium at the close of the school. And then the real work began. Just as soon as inquisitive freshmen thrust their heads in at the door they were promptly seized and brought inside to discover for themselves what a matinee party was like. They seemed to find it not half bad. VVe introduced them about, saw that they had partners and looked after them generally. If someone was too painfully bashful we put him under some buoyant upperclassmanys tutelage. Everyone seemed to enjoy himself thoroughly. Our pianist turned out to be something of a genius when it came to dance music. When the party at last had to break up we explained that there would be another in two Weeks, that we wanted everybody to come, and that we really hoped they felt a little more at ease and better acquainted in their big school. It was a totally new experience to me and I'm simply exhausted, but I'm glad I could help, a bit, to make some one happier and more contented in L. H. S. It's a big school and a fine school, but it's no school at all without friends. Well, here I am at home. I'm glad I saw you, Barby. You,re such a com- forting person to talk to. Always seem to understand. Good-by! .481 Sthuul Qliulur may Of all the traditions dear to a student's heart, school color day is one of the most cherished. L. H. S. is a veritable riot of red and black at this time. And justly it should be. So many honors and distinctions have come to those colors through football, basketball, track, debating, and dramatics, that every one Welcomes an opportunity to display the symbol of prowess. Those who were wise procured their colors several days prior to the annual event and their shrewdness was amply rewarded. The committee exhausted the entire stock of red and black ribbons, caps and arm-bands in all the local stores. The revel of color lasted for two days, but as early as the morning of the first day the committee was ribbonless, capless and bandless. lllessengers were hastily dispatched to buy more. After this trip the shops were incapable of producing even one more yard of ribbon of the desired colors, but by dint of earnest effort and scanty measurements most of the pupils were provided with rosettes at least. An assembly was announced to which everyone was invited-an assembly which, moreover, lasted an hour and a half. Every yell was given and song sung that the students knew, and they even learned a new one, under Mr. Fergusonls instruction, in which they rang bells in rounds until a guest might have fancied himself in a pious village on Sunday morning. lt was a good color dayg one typical of L. H. S. There have been others and there will be more. but that of l2O could hardly be surpassed. ,791 Dmurrl rn 5:1-nur The Qrahian jaights Ah, fairy book, all golden with the sun Of eastern lands, those lands all beauteous, VVith flowers and singing, trees and birds that tell The wisdom of the ages in their songs.

He didnlt need physical culture. He existed through physical exertions. Today, ingenious inventions have supplanted man power. A man doing physical work is regarded as being incapable of mental exertion. We are as a result, a race of physical weaklings and intellectual giants. Our bodies are puny, with atrophied muscles and are Wasted by all the diseases released by Pandora. Over fifty per cent of the men examined for the draft were rejected for physical unfitness. More than fifty per cent of the young men of our nation physically unfit! While aimlessly turning the pages of a current magazine one day last summer, I happened to see a full page photograph of a man flexing gorilla-like biceps and extending a bulging chest out in front like a barrel. I gazed in mute wonder at his photograph and read his measurements. I learned, through a hasty reading of the accompanying advertisement, that for twenty dollars I too, could be a superman! The prospect of ripping the buttons off my vest every time I took a deep breath was very attractive. I cannot exactly remember how I got the twenty dollars. I worked and saved, borrowed and begged until I had enough for the twenty dollar money order. Enclosing this with my chest measurement, I sent for the course in calisthenics and dietetics. Then followed two weeks of hopeful, anxious waiting. On coming home from school one day, I saw a package addressed to me lying on the table. I snatched it in ecstasy, ran to my room and feverishly unwrapped it. A book on Fletcherism, a rubber cord exerciser, and an exercise chart were the contents. I studied out the exercises on the chart then carefully executed them with the exerciser and soon perspiration was oozing from me in large and fluid drops. Fearful of overdoing, I put the exerciser aside and began reading the book on dieting. It seemed that Fletcher- ism was merely the mastication Qchewingj of food until it lost its taste and became a cowed and submissive mass of nutriment. At the very next meal I put this doctrine of Horace G. Fletcher into vigorous application. I chewed until I felt myself becoming muscle-bound. I did not stop, however, and with heroic fortitude finished the meal in the same fashion I had begun. The following day I was in a truly pitiable plight. An ailment, seemingly kindred to lock-jaw, had settled upon me. I was forced to obtain my nourishment through a straw. My enthusiasm in the course died down somewhat. For a time I exercised spasmodically, but I soon discontinued even this. Nonetheless, I firmly believe that had I kept it up I should have been a Samson. Occasionally, I rummage through the old trunk in the closet. pull out the rubber exerciser from whose cords elasticity has forever gone, and with varying emotions turn the pages of the book on dietetics. The thought of the physical unfitness of our people also often comes to me and fills me with ineffable sadness, but I do nothing more than to lament it. What if most of us nowadays are bookkeepers, clerks, obese business men and lawyers? If we are happy and contented with our hollow chests and dyspepsia, I say let us alone. -Anonymous. 181- milk jliluhern Z!9uusz:iBIumhing I can remember looking for years with envious eyes on those who were fortunate enough to be able to buy a strictly modern house. No more worry about how to pay the rent, and no more bother about lack of hot water, lack of heat, and a multiplicity of other things, worries which would vanish like Aladdinls palace upon the purchase of such a house. The rest of the family and my aunt also shared my views and it was with unreasonable optimism that we ultimately entered into negotiations for the purchase of such a modern house. We found that in the house we bought the woodwork was fine, the furnace was good, and everything about as the former owner had represented, and l was delighted with the steaming hot water which the furnace readily supplied. Our first day after we moved in was given over to straightening up, to praising the house and its advantages and lamenting the fate which had kept us moving about for so many years and missing all these dear comforts. However, it was with a slight uneasiness the next morning that we noticed the sink was not acting properly and my aunt and my mother begged me to look around and see if anything was wrong with the pipes. With great outward cheerfulness I rummaged among the pipes, traps, and cobvvebs and soon reported that there was nothing wrong outwardly, and that the trouble was probably due to some grease in the pipes, which could be cut out by running hot water and lye through them. We hopefully ran the hot water and lye through the sink and eagerly watched for results, but could see no change for better or worse. We then put the sinkls behavior down merely to some idiosyncrasy of that petulant device and let it stand thus. But our newly acquired calm was soon rudely shattered by the appearance of water backing up into the cellar from the drain, and with a mixture of rage and alarm we humbly begged the plumber to hasten out to our house and save us from having our cellar flooded. He came, he saw- but failed to conquer at the moment. He was armed with a coil of heavy wire and a tallow candle, and with the lighted candle he searched inside and out, while we huddled together on the dry steps and watched the great man with awe. At last he gave his verdict, The tree just outside the house has grown its roots into the sewer pipe, and the pipe must be dug up. We heard this with sinking hearts for our vision of a perfect house had received a sharp jolt. Nevertheless, we prepared to endure a few days of discomfort that it might not happen again, and ordered it to be done. The work was begun and then the weather suddenly grew cold, the snow fell and the work died in its embryo stage, while we, in this uncomfortable state, raged and stormed without avail, for no man would work in such weather. Several days passed and again we breathed freely, for the work was going on. VVe all agreed that after this job was done we should have no more trouble and all would be well again. We had scarcely agreed upon this point when a sonorous knock came at the back door. lt was the workman who cheerfully stated that it wasn't the roots of the tree at all but a grease trap and cess- pool in circuit with the sewer which had become clogged up and were causing the backflow of water. ln answer to our startled inquiries as to what could be done he replied that he would have to dig clear around them and lay a new pipe. Our capacity for emotion was completely exhausted by that time and we languidly told him to go ahead and not to hurry in the least. Two or three days later the task was completed and after the last man had departed the reaction came. And to thinkf' ejaculated my aunt, that if we had been renting this house, the landlord would have paid for all that! -Leigh Ziegler, ,2O. Hgg, Eebinh Ulibe Gizacbefs Bzsk There are two classes of people in the world-teachers and human beingsf, This sounded very clever when it was spoken by a satirist and I have known times when I thought so, too. I have changed my opinion somewhat since then, however, and if there is any student who believes that, I suggest to him that he try being a teacher for awhile and then if he still holds to this notion, there is something radically wrong with him. My first experience with substituting came one morning after I had spent nearly a whole valuable study period writing out don,ts for teachers,', such as, Don't tell the pupils how much better work another class has done- it does not do any good because they only hate the other class and don't care anything about doing better work themselvesfy Donyt think that you are the only teacher in school. If every teacher talked all study period and then expected the students to study two hours out- side, the students would have to sit up all nightf' It can be seen from these extracts, how bitter I was feeling against everything in general and teachers in particular. It was at this point in my musings that I was called outside and there confronted by my French teacher who asked me to take her classes for the rest of the day. Before I had time to think, I found myself seated in a large armchair in front of a wide expanse of desk and surrounded on all sides by a sea of expectant faces, very evidently freshmen faces. The expressions on their faces varied from impish mischief to solemn disapproval. I felt a queer sinking feeling in the region of my heart and that organ began beating with alarming distinctness. It surely must be a nightmare! I was rudely jolted into action, however, when an eraser hurled through the air from a far corner of the room, bounced off my right cheek, hit the blackboard and fell to the floor with a puff of chalk dust. Order was finally established and, fortified with a French grammar, the teacher's class book and her enormous, black assignment book, I glanced down at the page before me. Nodding in the direction of the boy in the front seat, I asked him to read the proverb at the beginning of the lesson. f'Apres la pluie, le beau temps. fAfter the storm, comes a calm.J Surely this was a good omen. And it was pleasant to be in this dignified position, if only for a short time. I remembered that when I was the age of these children in front of me, my idea of the difference between the teacher and pupil was that the teacher had, among other well-established privileges, the right to keep her book open during recitation. Another thing which I supposed that all teachers were in the habit of doing, was to call on one pupil while gazing steadfastly at another. This was very inconsiderate and at the same time inconvenient for the one called upon, who must adjust his thoughts quickly. I found this morning, however, that a new teacher, who is not quite sure which name belongs to which boy, might be almost as surprised as the victim when she looks at a boy at the back of the room whom she expects to answer to the name of Johnny Jones and the real Johnny Jones pipes up from the seat in the front row. After this experience, it was nearly a year before I again had a chance to substitute. I was sitting in home room one morning, trying to learn the definition for a cor- poration, when a teacher passed by my desk leaving thereon a slip of paper which requested me to report at the office at once. I gathered up my books and made my way down two flights of stairs, wondering why I should be thus called to the office. I pushed the white slip across the marble ledge and was told that Miss Blank was sick and the head of the department wanted me to take her history and civics classes. In a short time, I was seated at the teacher's desk leaning forward in order to touch my feet to the floor and feeling as if I could scarcely look over the top of the desk. This class, I soon discovered, had been suffering for nearly a week from a Iack of teacher. So all that I had to do was sit and look dignified while they studied. 1331 It was then that I discovered the effectiveness of writing down names on little slips of paper. If a boy has been misbehaving, he will almost always keep still, for awhile at least, when he sees the teacher look at him and with a shake of her head, write something on a piece of paper. It doesn't make much difference what she writes down -- anything will do. But what are you going to do with the naughty boy who, when remonstrated with, tells you with an engaging smile that he is young and he has to have a good time while he's young? Especially if you are young yourself and have been realizing this truth because you haven't had a really good time yourself for so long. After a few minutes of blessed calm, some of the bolder spirits began a few tentative whisperings, which soon grew to a deafening roar. Pleadings, threats and stern remonstrances on my part were of no avail, and finally in despair, I stamped out of the room and hurried ofiiceward. One peek through the doorway showed the head of the department leaning over the marble ledge. It would never do to let her know that I was not able to get along by myself, so back I ran and tried to slip through the door without attracting any attention. I was greeted with intense silence. But half way between the door and the desk, I could not resist smiling to myself and instantly were hurled at me such disgusted remarks as, Ch, ho, thought you'd fool us, didn't you? She didn't go to the office at all. just went out and turned around! I realized that it was all a sad mistake. I would never do it again, but what should I do now? The bell mercifully solved the problem for me and I sank into the chair with a sigh of relief. The day finally ended, each class becoming easier. I felt that if there should be one more I should have a nervous breakdown and I should never again blame a teacher for being as cross as she wanted to be all day long. Still it had been ,a valuable experience and I had firmly established, in my own mind at least, the fact that teachers are human beings. -Elizabeth Bentley, I2O.

We passed through this channel one glorious October. The deck was filled with passengers, some straining their necks and gazing through binoculars to see if they could find something which no one else could see, while others were content to look at the wonderful sights with the unaided eyes. The clean, bracing air was filled with yellow butterflies which seemed to wel- come us as our liner glided slowly through the glassy, green water. On one side at some distance rose Mount Etna who had not yet laid aside her misty morning robes, but it was not long before they seemed to melt in the bright sunshine and her outline stood clear against the sky. Below her the foot hills were clothed in green from which gleamed forth scarlet and white blotches which we knew were the dwellings of the Sicilians, brave people that they are, to live at the foot of a volcano which might at any time envelop the whole island in burning lava. Again, white bridges and waterfalls caught the eye and against the creamy cliffs a red sailed fishing smack could be seen. The land on the other side was much nearer and we could see more clearly, and yet it all seemed like a model in clay. A small puffing mountain train glided in and out along the hillside like a shiny snake. Vineyards and grain fields lay scattered about like soft carpets. The houses along the way seemed so invitingly attractive that one would like to leave the ship and live there. If it were not for the beautiful but treacherous Mount Etna, I should like to live there myself - forever. -Lois Drummond, '2o.

Willard Johnson, official protographer for the Links, flew over Lincoln and suburbs in an airplane piloted by Eyir Sloniger, a former Lincoln high school student, to secure photographs for the Links. The start was made from the airfield south of the city. Here Willard experienced his real thrill, compared to which the side-slips, banks, and turns were as nothing. The plane skimmed along the ground straight toward a fence until within a few feet of it, when the pilot turned the plane up on its tail and it seemed to jump up into the air with the speed of a bullet. The plane was headed first over College View, then toward Havelock and lastly toward the high school. When first sighted, the building was the size of a small match box. The camera was focused from this height, but in the sudden descent from 2,000 to 500 feet, the terrific wind blew the camera shut and took the operator's breath away. The building seemed fairly to leap up from the ground toward the plane. Willard was then able to secure two pictures of the building. Picture taking from an airplane is not easy. When the plane is jumping around, banking, nose-diving, and side-slipping it is next to impossible to focus the camera and when it is done the wind blows it shut or the plane makes an unexpected dive or turn. The speed of the machine against a twenty mile wind added more trouble. lt was only with great difficulty that he was able to secure his pictures. The camera, valued at more than 5400, was, for safety's sake, strapped about the photog- rapher. The senior class has been waiting two weeks for a favorable day on which to take the pictures. The sun was very short on light last Wednesday, or at least he let only a limited amount slip through the clouds. Of the eleven pictures taken, seven appear in this book. -91- ,- - -64 he X ft xl 1 to Z - fx wg Ry - COME ON COW BOY 2 Z l 1 gy e X G , rf. 1 C ,fb K2x7,C4rfVi E -sf vw cams, Yi gf Qfbe Qlluatb l L 4 , VVhen Telfer L. Nlead, athletic director of Lincoln high school, came to Lincoln early in the fall of this school year, he was neither greeted with a brass band nor welcomed as a conquering hero. ln plain, he was practically fl stranger in Lincoln and was about to assume the task of picking and moulding one of the most formidable gridiron squads in Nebraska high school circles. We were soon to know our new coach better, for he began action almost as soon as he had come to Lincoln. This hurried start was necessary, for the coach faced one of the hardest and longest schedules ever selected for a Red and Black machine. The first game on the slate was marked up for September 20, a date less than two weeks after the opening of school. With the unavoidable delays in the first few days work, Mr. Mead could figure ' on but one real week of practice before at- tempting to select a team from unhardened men and players with whom he was not familiar. llr. llead was equal to the task and proved to be a real organizer and a splendid coach. His methods had been tested by five years as mentor in Indiana and lllinois schools. He developed a smooth running team from the material available this year and, barring a bit of hard luck, the 1919 machine would have carried off the banner. He has a way of injecting the spirit of victory into a losing team that cannot be surpassed and he practices clean, true sportsmanship. hflr. Mezld came to Lincoln high school direct from the service of his country where he served in the naval aviation department as an instructor in aerial gunnery. He answered the call to arms immediately after the football season of 1917 entering at the Great Lakes naval training station. TELFER L. MEAD, Head Coach As soon as he had been graduated from Indiana University in IQI3, Mr. Mead took up athletic instruction. In Indiana University he had been interested in sport and in his senior year he was a member of the Indiana football team. Until the time he entered the service he was head coach in three schools, each time developing success- ful teams. Lincoln high has appreciated his services in football, basketball, track and floor athletics. VVe hope he will remain for other years. Zlibz beasun The prospects of the football season in 1919 looked bright at the outset for a championship team. Eight UL men from the previous season along with nearly fifty other candidates buckled on the moleskins early in the season and prepared to face a strenuous schedule. It was barely two weeks before the first game was to be played, that practice started on the field north of the building. As the season progressed, Lincoln made a splendid showing among the high schools of the state and in the records her chances were strong for the pennant. Omaha, South Omaha, York and all the other bidders for the honor were soon sub- dued and we met Beatrice on Thanksgiving Day. Under the influence of the terrific cold and flying snow, energy and precision were driven to the winds, and the game ended in a tie score. Fans were disappointed at the outcome and immediately began to inquire about a post-season game. Three days after the Thanksgiving Day conflict Lincoln issued a formal challenge to the Gage county lads, inviting them to Lincoln the following week to play off the decision. Beatrice refused, and after dickering around, claimed the decision on their record. The state board refused to recognize their claim. Snow and bad weather soon made all appeals useless and so ended the Lincoln season, with no championship awarded in Nebraska. SUPERIOR Lincoln collided with Superior in the first battle of the season. This was originally planned for a practice game but proved to be a warm affair. Lincoln easily dominated the field and won by a score of 26 to 6. Superior made their only tally when their right half nabbed a Links pass and ran ninety-five yards to a touch- down. This first victory greatly encouraged the Lincoln team who prepared to meet Grand Island. GRAND ISLAND The second so-called practice tilt was nearly disastrous for Lincoln. Grand Island put up a stiff fight and the game ended in a scoreless tie. Lincoln was constantly on the offensive and pushed to the Grand Island three-yard line in several attacks but lacked the necessary punch to go across the line. The lack of a sufhcient training period told in this game, and the Lincoln warriors were considerably battered. SIOUX CITY On October 4, we opened our regular season by entertaining the Sioux City eleven, sending them home scalpless to the tune of 33 to 6. It was in the rest period between the halves of this game that the Red and Black warriors began to understand Coach Mead and his Ways. The score at the end of the first half stood 6 to 0 in favor of the Iowa men, when Lincoln injected with new spirit rallied and scored 33 points in the second period to our opponents O. Lewellen was responsible for some spectacular kicking in the final period, and this combined with the perfect coordination of the Lincoln backs completely demoralized the Sioux. -93- l I Top Rorw: Telfer L. Mead, coach, McKinney Lambert, Foster Matchett, Verne Lewellen, Lyle Holland, James Austin, Clarence Drummond, Lee O. Smith, assistant coach. Second Rofw: Bloyce Packer, George Deffenbaugh, Lawrence Dunham, Gaylord Wilcox, Frank Parker, Ross MacGlasson. Bottom Row: Roy Lamb, Philip Mockett, George Pugh, captain, John Marriner, Floyd Thomas. NORFOLK The Lincoln players were fast coming into their own, and on October 19, Norfolk was defeated in a fast game. The score was 21 to 0. Lewellen, Pugh and Lamb were absent from the lineup, on account of injuries. The substitute backfield was somewhat uncertain at first, but after warming up, they worked with machine-like precision. lvlockett featured with several long runs, and a pass combination, Deffen- baugh to Hook, made the necessary gain. Pugh and Lewellen entered in the last period. YORK Accompanied by about one hundred enthusiastic rooters, the Red and Black warriors embarked October I7 for a Friday afternoon combat with York. The Blue and Buff provided royal entertainment for the accompanying party, but their reception on the gridiron was meager and dry. Lincoln chalked up 20 points and the Links goal was uncrossed. When the curtain rolled up and almost before the whistle of the referee had left his lips, Lamb figured out a little entertainment for the Yorkites. Once, while they weren't looking, Rody made a little sortie all by himself around the Blue and Buff left wing and sauntered down the field for seventy yards or so before he was captured. Two more plays took the oval across and the York machine was trimmed. The Lincoln party returned home late at night. SOUTH OMAHA Lincoln nailed up the sixth victim, October 24, on the Husker gridiron, by defeating South Omaha. Packertown papers declared they had a strong team but we understood afterward that it was a misnomer. The final count was 32 to O. Features in the battle were supplied mostly by the Lincoln substitutes, and the South Omaha line was easily punctured for material gains. Lewellen and Holland ran a remarkably strong competition for the longest gains. NORTH PLATTE Ghosts and goblins arriving in North Platte early in the afternoon before All Hallow's eve witnessed the toasting of the Platte men on their own gridiron. With a chain of thirty-four strong links, forged by the Red and Black, the North Platte ghost was added to the multitude to beset the townspeople on that spooky night. TOPEKA For the first and last time in some years Topeka, Kansas, journeyed to Lincoln, November 8. History repeated itself and the Jayhawk team suffered a real reverse, taking the identical count of North Platte, 34. to O. Their eleven was in no class with the Lincoln team, and was afterward defeated by Lawrence, Kansas. Lincoln admired their clean style of playing and soon made up at a peace banquet that night. They are not offering a return game next year. OMAHA Omaha has been in the wake of two whirlwinds of a different sort both with the same dazing effect. The second struck the metropolis on the fifteenth of November, 1919, completely upsetting their high school gridiron machine. That wind was the Red and Black and as they gasped, Lincoln wrote on the sporting page, in a steady hand, the story, 28 to O. Rody scored the sensation of the afternoon. After skirting the end for a run of sixty-five yards and a score, he backed off on the field for the kickoff, blushed, and nabbing the oval on the Lincoln one-yard line, galloped ninety- nine yards over the line. Every Lincoln player did his part in the play and Omaha was dazzled beyond bounds. STATE FARM Lincoln rested after the contest with her northern rivals and encountered the farmers the following weeks with substitutes. The final score of 7 to O represented the slowness of the game. Deffenbaugh held down his regular place and nearly ran away with the entire Aggie eleven. Lincoln was preparing to meet Beatrice the following week. BEATRICE Our last battle cannot be classed as a loss nor a gain but on the whole the season remained satisfactory to Lincoln from the standpoint of seasons record. We fought with Beatrice, Thanksgiving Day, the battle terminating in a tie score, O to O. The thermometer registered near the zero point, frost stood on the collars of the spectators and the band instruments were useless in the cold and flying snow. Lincoln followers supported the team with vigor but soon the cold drowned out the songs and Lincoln -95- and Beatrice finished their game in a tie. Lincoln held the ball in the Orange and Black territory throughout the game and clearly were headed toward the victory had the bitter cold not vanquished their spirits.

A speedy man on the gridiron, an expert orator in assembly and a real gentleman all the time. Those are some of the qualities found in our past captain. Pugh is a suc- cessful leader on the gridiron, playing a tactful, fiery, offensive game and making his end practically impregnable on the defense. He easily won a place on the all-state selections of Omaha and Lincoln papers. Verne Lewellen, end. As ex-captain from the IQI8 season, Verne lacked no football experience this year. His position was somewhat shifted dur- ing the year but we will remember him this season by his work at end. Lew has taken a place in Lincoln high athletics that will be hard to fill. Bloyce Packer, tackle. Pack , hereafter to be known as Cap , has established himself on the gridiron, and the honor of the 1920 leadership has been well placed. He was in the midst of the action and won a place on the all-state team. With the new captain, a hustler, we can expect much from the Lincoln eleven in the IQZO season. James Austin, guard. 'flimmyl' was a large factor in the victories of Lincoln in the past season. He is heavy guard and a hard man to pass on de- fense. He will return next year. Floyd Thomas, center. Unanimously selected for the all-state lineup, Floyd has been a valuable pivot man for the Red and Black eleven. He was an L man in the IQI8 season and has served well. Tommy shines in defensive work. Lawrence Dunham, guard. Dunham would have grit enough to walk on burning stones and he was a fearless gridiron warrior. His never-ending efforts made his part of the line dangerous to the opposing backs. He is a senior this year. Ross MacGlasson, tackle. Bubbles is the old standby of the Lincoln team. He first donned the moleskins three years ago and has been a good tackle and a royal entertainer. He plays a neat game and will be missed on trips next year. Roy Lamb, quarterback. Best known in Omaha as Lightning Rody . One Hash in a football game and Rody has traveled the full length of the field for a touchdown. He will long be remembered in high school sport circles, and we hope he has not Hnished his career with this years work. He is acclaimed the best all- around high school athlete in the state. This is his last year with the Lincoln team. Philip Mockett, halfback. Withal Irish has been a regular performer for the Red and Black. He has proved that football is not entirely a game for heavyweights and his 128 pounds have BLOYCE PACKER often driven the oval into the opposing ranks for long and consistent gains. George Deffenbaugh, fullback. George plays a steady game and he put all other fullbacks under cover last season. He drives like a battering ram and is good for long gains every time. He played his last game with Lincoln high this year. Lyle Holland, halfback. Lyle will always be remembered among the Lincoln athletes as a clean sport in both football and basketball. He played consistently and had the true Lincoln spirit with him all the while. We may hear from him in university. John Marriner, substitute fullback. He hits the line as easily as his fellow mates and his service with Uncle Sam made him a hardy athlete. He will be a real fighter next year. McKinney Lambert, substitute halfback. lVIackl' deserves much credit for his work with the team. He helped ward off the blows many times and caught a few of them. Although LH sweaters could not be awarded to all, there are a few men who made the various trips, subbed in the games and took the brunt of practice, who deserve mention. Of these Parker will be the only man who will not be available for next year. Parker played a brilliant game when the chance was his. Drummond and Matchett bore the burden of bench warming during the games, and these men will have another year to display their qualities. ,971 1 -l The Beserhes Those men who played second fiddle to the regulars in all the rain and mud and glory are the men of the second team. Since not all can gain a place on the first squad this team is dedicated to and under all con- ditions is expected to stand up and be mauled by the huskier brethren. Not all the time does it take the brunt of the game and many times it emerges from the prac- tice field superior to the first team. Lee O. Smith, assistant physical di- rector of the Lincoln high school, was its tutor this year and he moulded an effi- cient team. Mr. Smith formerly served as assistant director of athletics in Peru Nor- mal. Not only did the reserves devote their time to training the regulars but they waged a few battles of their own. Considering their unsure and depleted ranks their rec- ord shows up well. Without notice one Friday morning they were shipped to Friend where they won their first victory by a score of 6 to O. Soon after, they went to Wilber but owing to hard luck the song was a different tune and they were defeated by a tally of 20 to 13. The Omaha reserves were taken down a few notches when they were defeated at Omaha in the double header played October 15. The score was 6 to O. The last game was somewhat of a disappointment to the boys. Playing a curtain raiser to the Thanksgiving Day game with the Beatrice reserves they were defeated by a score of 9 to 6. They played a hard game and Lincoln will depend on some of these men for the first squad next year. LEE O. SMITH, Assistant Coach -gg- I N i 3 I i Y 1 199.- ilibe Season 9 The victories in our basketball season atoned for the difficulties in the football season. Lincoln's cage five played first class basketball and not once during the season or the tournament following did Lincoln fall into danger of defeat. Diligent work throughout the vacation during the coal shortage made a fast team, and while the high school cage was cold, the boys went to the Y. Bl. C. A. for practice. Mr. Mead took charge of the affairs a few weeks before the opening of the season. The names of the team of IQ2O will go down in history as the best all around basketball team that has ever been produced by Lincoln high. Their names are engraved on two cups, the one representing the cham- pionship of Nebraska, the other, the championship of Colorado and Nebraska. Captain Lyle Holland, leader of the 1920 team has been in athletics during the past three years and we will remember him for his re- markable work in the victorious season. William Schapers, the running mate of Holland in the forward ranks, has been a valiant upholder of the Red and Black spirit in basketball. He has the knack of shooting from almost any angle. Paul Sougey, the tall center, has a record of baskets in the season. He plays over the heads of the other teams and he will lead the Red and Black five next year. Paul is the only regular member of the team who will be in the Lincoln ranks another year. LYLE HOLLAND Verne Lewellen, guard, is identified with every Lincoln athletic venture. He plays a fast, hard game and trains into perfect form. Verne is one of Lincoln high's best all around athletes. Rodyn Lamb is as sensational on the cage floor as on the gridiron. His speed in guarding Mahoney tells his story. Rody is one of the fastest basketball guards on the floor. Mark Lintz, the substitute, won an LU with the champion IQZO team. He is fast and dependable. Olds and Wilson, substitutes, worked valiantly for the team. A review of the season's record can be more easily appreciated by the scores alone which tell the storv in almost every case. Lincoln outclassed them all. -100- k Lintz. Ill' pers, M 21 Sch T11 illia VV Sougey, ewellen, Paul ead, coach, Verne L rL.M fe Roy Lamb, Tel R 11 fw .'

This team, the Terrors , had a record of nine years in the basketball cage without one defeat, that by one point in 1916. The Colorado representa- tives making the offer to the Lincoln team easily recognized the ability of the Red and Black but prom- ised that the Terrors would make it hot for them. The games were sponsored by the Colorado Col- lege athletic association. For the victor they had a silver loving cup engraved, representing the champion- ship of Nebraska and Colorado for 1920. Hand in hand with the high school, Colorado College gave a warm welcome to the Red and Black team as they arrived in Colorado Springs, Thursday morning, March 18. Seven men accompanied Mr. Mead. They were Captain Holland, Schapers, Sougey, Lewellen, ' Lamb, Olds and Lintz. The result-well!-Lincoln decisively walloped the Terrors in two consecutive games and marched off with the cup, and the basketball with which they played. The games were both maximum struggles, but Lincoln played as hard, fast and clean a brand of basketball as has been seen on high school floors. Colo- rado acknowledged the victory with a reception and an enthusiastic send-off home after a trip through the Cave of the Winds and other scenic places. Lincoln won the Hrst game by a score of 35 to 25. This result was attained after a speedy battle in which the Lincoln team attacked with perfect precision. Teamwork was like clockwork and Holland received the ball from all corners, dropping it in from fantastical positions. Lewellen and Lamb did their part by holding down a pair of forwards who were said to be the fastest high school men on the floor. Better than ever, the 'lTerrors entered the Cossit gymnasium the following evening for the second game. Their spirit was up and they were determined to take the second battle in order to throw the decision on a third contest. With the old true Hght, Lincoln sailed into them that night, against the odds of an enormous Colorado crowd, and whipped them by a final count of 31 to 19. Among the features of the game -was a perfect throw by Holland registered in a manner similar to his toss in the Commerce game. Receiving the ball under the basket he traveled to the corner of the floor, where, bending backward, he lightly tossed it through the hoop. lt stunned the 'fTerrors,'. We were glad to become the champions of Colorado and Nebraska, not for honor's sake alone, but to feel the hospitality of the splendid set of fellows who enter- tained our team while in Colorado Springs. Lincoln appreciates that spirit and hopes to entertain the Centennial state lads at some future date. PAUL SOUGEY -102- Qliljezr learners HARRY OLDS EDGAR SHOEMAKER Even the bravest warrior in the Red and Black athletic circles would be lost on the field or on the cage Floor without the backing of the student body in the good old Lincoln high school songs and yells. Harry Olds and Edgar Shoemaker were unanimously elected to the position of cheer leaders at the beginning of the school year and served valiantly throughout the athletic season. Their red shirts and smiles were always present on the fields in Lincoln and on foreign territory. The Zliuurnamznt Picking their way untouched, Lincoln high went through the tenth annual tourney of Nebraska high schools basketball teams and established itself supreme by defeating Omaha Commercial high in a battle at the finals. Never before in the history of Nebraska high school athletics was there such an entry of teams in one meet, and the annual tournament equalled the record of any basketball gathering in the world. VVith machine like precision, one hundred seventy-six teams of major and minor strength were run through the mill and victors ascertained in each class. Lincoln won the championship over the entire entry. Paul Schissler, coach of basket- ball in the University of Nebraska, was in charge of the tournament. So many teams participated this year that it became necessary to make use of the Lincoln high gymnasium, and here the lower classes battled out their titles from the close of school till dark. The extensive development of basketball teams has given Nebraska athletics a great boost and soon the Cornhusker state will rank first in high school athletics. -103- . Lincoln was matched with University Place in the first round of Class A. A hard battle was expected. It was a hard battle - for University Place. Lincoln won the game by a tally of 33 to 7. It was our first blow and a strong one. The second match was with Norfolk, a team whose strength was not generally known. They capsized under the Red and Black attack and were laid away to the tune of 23 to 7. Norfolk was a strong team but their work did not match with the Red and Black. This game was played on Friday morning, and that night Lincoln prepared to meet Omaha Central in the semi-finals. As the others were taken off the list, OmahaCentral disappeared by acquiring the short end of a 39 to IO score. Lincoln played fast ball and Omaha was as helpless as a feather in a high wind. The score was the highest score that has been registered against Omaha for several years. We had won the right to meet Omaha Commerce in the final game. THE FINALS Interest of all sport followers centered on the finals played between Lincoln and Omaha Commerce on the city auditorium floor, Saturday night, March 6. Lincoln walloped the Omaha lads after a thrilling battle, witnessed by over 4,000 people, and carried away the honors of the state basketball tourney for the fifth time in the last ten years. It was with the old Lincoln high spirit and vigor that the Lincoln quintet nosed out the speedy Omaha five. From the opening of the contest to the close the result was uncertain, while at various times our hopes seemed to flutter away only to return in another instant. The first half went hard for the Red and Black. The Commer- cialites seemed to own the horseshoe, while shot after shot from the Lincoln team failed to fall into the hoop. The half ended with the score 9 to 6 and anxious faces hung over the old wood balcony. With a rush Lincoln came back in the final period playing a brand of basketball not often seen in high school circles. Holland broke the ice with a perfect shot maneu- vered backward over his head from the corner of the Hoor. Schapers hit next, followed by Sougey, and Lincoln took the lead, keeping it until the end. The entire squad deserves credit for their brilliant work. The Mahoney team was just put out-thatys all. If ever 'fRody Lamb played a game of basketball he did that night, and the star forward of Omaha Com- merce, deemed one of the best in Nebraska, was able to get but one shot at the basket and that one was touched as it started. Mahoney failed to get a field goal. Likewise, with the rest, Lewellen, Sougey, Holland and Schapers played a spectacular game and the championship was well won.

Only four of the veterans from the previous season were on deck at the opening call and a general absence of material was found for all events. Of the veterans, Nichols and Dunham were treading the cinder path with true form for winning the mile and half mile races. lvlachleekin returned for the dashes and Lewellen was finishing his consistent service in Lincoln high school athletics by preparing to handle the weights, discus, running broad jump, high jump, and the 120-yard high hurdles. The first call for candidates brought out more than fifty men to the meeting, some twenty of whom donned the abbreviated garments for the intensive spring training. lt was only by hard work that the track squad was brought up to standard and enough entries provided for the meets. Lincoln's first bow in the 11120 season came with the defeat of the Red and Black athletes at the hands of Beatrice in a dual meet staged on the state university field, Xlay 1. Beatrice nosed us out with a score of 61 to 52. Bloodgood and Lloyd of Beatrice played the leading role taking first and second places in all the dashes and placing high in a number of field events. Lewellen was the individual honor man with a total of 21 points to his credit. He took first place in the high hurdles and discus throw, second place in the low hurdles. high jump, broad jump and shot put. Gish took first in the pole vault, Dunham, first in the mile and half mile, Nichols, second in the mile and third in the half mile, llflatchett tied with Lewellen for second place in the shot put and took second in the discus, VVarren slid in third in the 100-yard and 220-yllfd dashes and lXIaclVIeekin took third place in the 440-yilfd run. Lincoln won the relay. The meet clearly brought out the absence of trained entries in each event, for as Lincoln men took off first places, the lack of athletes gave second and third places to Beatrice. without contest. Beatrice proved a favorite in the state meet held Nlay I5 and again took the lead from Lincoln. Beatrice made a total of 44 IX3 points to Lincoln's 30 points. Omaha Central came in third place. Lewellen captured sweepstake laurels in the high hurdles and Nichols took high honors in the mile run. ln group three, Lincoln men took three first places, three second places. two third places and two fourth places. Nichols took first in the mile and half mile, Dunham drew second in these races, Lewellen took Hrst place in the high hurdles, tied for third place in the low hurdles and high jump, and took fourth place in the discus throw. lllatchett won a second place in the shot put. e106- vi W' Wit , , Q IQ NMNUAM Vfw fllfu' SF aa x 4 Z7 S s WWNX s X s wwwy .

After many weeks of practice the teams were chosen, and each team looked forward to the first day of that interclass contest. The freshmen, naturally, were not expected to have much of a team, but before the practice season was over they made a creditable showing. The members of the sophomore team, with a few exceptions, were also new to the game. However, great things were expected of the juniors. They had practiced diligently and several members of the team had had previous experience. Yet the strongest team seemed to be that of the seniors. Each girl on the team had played before, and since the names of seniors, for two years previous, had been engraved on the cup, the seniors this year did not wish to he an exception to the rule. Conse- quently they were prepared to make the opposing team fight for every basket they might make. JUNIORS VERSUS SENIORS Two old rivals met in the first and hardest fought game of the tournament. This was juniors versus seniors. The games were played in three ten-minute periods. From the time the first whistle blew until the end of the game every girl was fighting for the honor of her class. The seniors would no sooner drop the ball through the basket than the juniors would follow their example, or score a goal from a foul. lklargaret Peterson made all the baskets for the seniors, while Blenda Olson and Harriet lNIcClelland scored for the juniors. VVhen the final whistle blew the score stood 8-7 in favor of the seniors. A mighty load was thus taken off the minds of the seniors, and to their eyes the cup looked more alluring than ever. SOPHOMORES VERSUS FRESHMEN The freshmen-sophomore game was fast. but after the Hrst score the sophomores took the lead and at no time during the game were they in danger of being over- taken. The freshmen did not give in without a fight, and urged on by the cheers of the spectators, they registered a free throw and one basket. Hazel Safford was the point winner for the freshmen, while Jessie Griffith and Dorothy Goodale scored for the sophomores. The sophomores having won a IQ-3 score, were now doomed to meet the seniors to decide the championship. -107- - X JUNIORS VERSUS FRESHMEN In vain the freshmen backers called out words of advice and encouragement, for, owing to the lack of experience and endurance of the team, they failed to play consistent ball. The junior team work and basket shooting were too much for the freshmen Who were able to score only one point while the juniors rolled up twenty. T he juniors are expected to be strong contenders for the cup next year. SENIORS VERSUS SOPHOMORES The championship game clearly showed the seniors to be superior to the sophomores, outplaying them in every phase of the game. The sophomores were guarded so closely that they got few chances to score, while the seniors took advantage of every opportunity. The game was by no means a Walk-away, for the sophomores fought nobly though facing defeat. Accurate passing and goal shooting soon lifted the score to 23 for the seniors against 4 for the sophomores. The tournament was under the management of lbliss Hewitt, who presented the cup to the captain of the senior team.

The aesthetic dancing was usually followed by some steps of social dancing such as the fox-trot, waltz and one-step. Credit is due to lliiss Frampton who gave much of her time to this work. The second annual dancing contest given under the auspices of the Girls Athletic Association before a large audience of interested girls was very successful in its purpose. lndeed, all the dances given were of such merit that the judges found it a didicult task to decide on the prize winners. First place was awarded to Hope Barkleyg second place, Dorothy Workg while Elsa Walbridge and Phyllis Unthank tied for third place, Edyth Summers and Frances Carrothers were awarded honorable mrntion. The Winner of the contest was awarded 50 points in the Girls Athletic Association. -109- cbirls Qthletir Qssuriatinn ' The Girls Athletic Association was organized in IQIQ with the members of the girls basketball teams as charter members.

Splash! Splash! Yes, those are Lincoln high school girls enjoying the pool which is open to all girls from 3 :05 to 4:15 o'clock every Monday and Wednesday. About sixty girls take advantage of the chance after school hours to practice for the grand swimming tourney, to perfect that fancy dive, or to learn that unmanageable back-stroke before the six weeks test, when the command will be 'iSwim or sink. It really is curious to watch the different girls in their efforts to learn. A few of the brave strike right out and learn in two or three lessons. Then there are girls who start to stroke with a do-or-die expression on their faces. These girls may learn to swim in six or eight weeks but they never make dashing Annette Kellermans. And then there are some girls who fling dignity to the waters and cling terror stricken to the edge with a vice-like grip. However, there are some excellent swimmers in Lincoln high school, swimmers who really do credit to the able teaching of Miss Hewitt and lVIiss Frampton, and help to encourage those too terrorized to learn. These girls showed their ability to swim during the interclass swimming meet held April 27. The senior girls again came out victorious leading with a score of 42 L6 points. The sophomore class won second place with 352 points. Frances Gable received the highest individual honors, Pauline Dotson came second and Margaret Hager third. Among the events were underwater swimming, a side stroke race, a double over- arm race, a relay race, the straight forward dive, undressing in water, stunts and fancy dives. Seniors won first place in the following stunts: rescuing a drowning girl, somersaulting, fancy diving, and swimming the length of the pool while carrying in the mouth a candle tied with the class colors, green and white. An original dive batter presented by Frances Gable was especially amusing to the spectators. The swimming team members are as follows: Senior Team Frances Gable, captain Norma Lewis ilfargaret Hager Lois Pederson Sophomore Team Pauline Dotson, captain Margaret Uter Vilma Deering Priscilla Towle Ruth YVestrope, substitute Esther Ockerson, substitute Junior Team Harriet McClelland, captain VVilla Wynkoop Blenda Olson Gertrude King Greta Southworth, substitute Freshman Team Mable Votaw, captain Bernice Ray Clara Hines Elsa Walbridge Nlary Harmon, substitute Jane Stone, substitute Soccer made its initial appearance in Lincoln high school as a girls sport this year under the auspices of the Girls Athletic Association. Since only a small number of girls turned out to practice, it was impossible to have more than two complete teams. In early November the two teams played off the match, freshman-seniors, versus sophomore-juniors. At the end of the first half the score was a tie, I-I, but in the last half the girls came back with renewed energy and enthusiasm. Several times the ball hovered near the goal posts only to be sent flying to the other end of the field. Finally, amid the cheers of the spectators, the sophomore-juniors scored another goal. The freshmen-seniors failed to overcome this lead and the match ended with a 2-1 score in favor of the sophomore-juniors. -111- E : E s - - E' - NWWE' Q uf .1 1:5 ' 'fa 'EES '7 '25 W' ' ' W' .

This would be the testimony of more than one Nebraska high school debating team if they were given a chance to express their feelings. Such a chance, however, cannot be given so we may only imagine what the feelings of these teams are. liarly in January a squad of twenty presented themselves as candidates for posi- tions on the school team. A few fell by the wayside, but most of them survived for the try-out stage. The result of the try-outs was that a first team of three, and a second team of four, were chosen. The first team has carried all the debates and has had to be prepared on both aides of the question. This is one of the few school teams in Nebraska that has successfully debated on both sides. The team record at the time of this writing speaks well for the home debaters. St. lidward .... .. I Lincoln .... .. 2 Broken Bow . . . . 3 Lincoln .... . . 0 Bethany ........ ..

This makes the Lincoln orators formidable contenders for the state title. illuch of the credit for the successful season is due the Forum members who have consistently backed the team. Following the Broken Bow contest the regular -113- Q Forum banquet was held, lllr. H. G. Hewitt and his team being the guests of honor. The Forum cup is also a contribution of the Forum. lt is the bone of contention each year between Lincoln and Beatrice. The team winning the cup three years in succession becomes its permanent owner. Perhaps the most exciting oratorical battle of the year was the one staged with Omaha Commerce at the lX'IcKinley auditorium. Omaha brought three hundred fifty rooters with them, and several hundred Lincoln people also attended. Since the district championship was involved, the feeling was tense throughout the struggle. Words flew back and forth sharp enough to cut the air. Lincoln's real strength, however, was here shown, and when the debate ended everyone felt that there was only one side to the question, and that was Lincoln's side. It was after this contest that the judges gave the Lincoln team credit for debating like college students. The state league question this year was Resolved that Congress should prohibit strikes on railroads doing interstate businessu. The first team was made up of Wendell Berge, captain, George Crump, and Harry Carson. The second team consisted of Ronald Button, Hugh Cox, Robert Chase and Wesley Gratz. There has been a general feeling this year that interest in debate is running higher than it ever has before. It is hoped this is only the beginning and that next year and each year thereafter may see more interest taken in debate. Prospects for next year are good, and if the new material presents itself that should, Lincoln will have no trouble in retaining its high standing gained this year. In the state tournament Lincoln first met Wayne and, taking the negative side of the question, defeated them by a three to nothing decision. ln the finals the team met the Beatrice debaters and switching to the affirmative side lost the championship in one of the closest contests ever held in a Nebraska high school debating tournament according to Professor M. NI. Fogg who has acted as chairman of the league debates for several years. ln giving his vote one of the judges said that in his opinion it was almost an even debate.

Late comers are hurrying pantingly, taking off their coats as they go, asking anxiously of everyone they meet, Has the bell rung yet?'l Others who have just come in are walking leisurely, or climbing the stairs in a contemplative mood as if they had all day to get to their home rooms. Girls are walking in twos and threes, laughing and talking among them- selves and calling gaily to one another. Some of the home room teachers are just un- locking their doors, letting in an expectant row of people who have especially long lessons to get before first period. The locker rooms are filled to overflowing. Coats are stuffed into lockers, books tumbled about and doors banged unmercifully. Girls are squeezing in and out of the crowd, trying to get to their lockers. A tall senior almost knocks down a meek little freshman and general confusion reigns. The hand clicks again and the bell rings. The tall slightly stoop-shouldered boy leaning against the wall starts ambling toward his home room. Groups are broken up and students call parting words as they start off in different directions. -Lucie Bently, ,22. f114-- . ll :ummm Lincoln high school may well be proud of her alumni. Scattered throughout the United States one may find many of our graduates holding offices of high distinction. VVe are sorry that we cannot include all of our alumni, but we have been able to list here only a few people of rather unusual interest. SAM S. ENGLISH ln the death of Sam S. English, '74, Lincoln high school has lost its first boy graduate. Xlr. English spent two years at the University of Nebraska. At the time of his death, he was secretary and sales manager of the Schwarz Paper Company of Lincoln. Klr. English has always been an interested observer of the rapid growth and advancement of Lincoln high school. ln his death we have lost a most loyal and sympathetic supporter. H ELEN GR EGO RY Among our alumni who have devoted their lives to some special work, lXIiss Helen Gregory, VQI, figures prominently. After her graduation from Lincoln high school she attended the University of Nebraska, from which she was graduated in 1895. She then specialized in kindergarten work at Columbia University. Her father, the Reverend Lewis Gregory. for many years minister of the First Congregational church in Lincoln. had conducted a small mission in northeast Lincoln in the Russian district. .after the death of her father. lliss Gregory started the first real settlement house in town. Through her efforts the city employed a nurse to look after the mothers and children who came there for aid. At the settlement. a day nursery was established for children under school age whose mothers had to work. Bliss Gregory managed this enterprise very successfully for two or three years and then went to New York to do social service work in the Ghetto. During the war Bliss Gregory was sent to Sicily where she did reconstruction work. She supervised the employment of women and children in factories of canvas and tapestry weaving where positions formerly were held exclusively by men. She obtained the use of hotels for the housing of these women workers. Miss Gregory has now returned to New York where she is again doing social service work in the river district of the city. -115i HERBERT SCHMIDT Although a comparatively recent graduate, Herbert Schmidt, YI4, has won recog- nition as a pianist. After llflr. Schmidt was graduated from Lincoln high school he attended the University School of lvlusic. Later, he went to New York and in 1916 was graduated with high honors from the Damrosch lnstitute of Music. He then returned to Lincoln and became an instructor in the School of lVIusic. At the out- break of the war, lllr. Schmidt enlisted in the navy and saw active service overseas on one of our big destroyers. He was discharged in january, IQIQ, after which he resumed his work in the School of lllusic. CHARLES A. ELLIOTT Among those who have become prominent in the medical profession in the United States, Charles A. Elliott, ,QI, may be mentioned as one of the foremost. After completing the academic course at the University of Nebraska Dr. Elliott studied medicine at Northwestern University. He received his degree at this university in 1898 and afterwards returned there as professor of medicine. Dr. Elliott has received international recognition for his research work on typhus fever. ln June, 1918, he was appointed as a member of a commission of five, financed by the Rockefeller Foundation for lvledical Research, to study fever conditions in South America. At present Dr. Elliott is in Chicago practicing medicine. lt has been the editor's intention to show in this short list the varying occupations in which Lincoln high school graduates have won recognition. While many other eminent persons have at some time attended Lincoln high school, there are only a few whom we can mention. Herbert Johnson and Clare Briggs are known throughout the country as cartoonists. Lillian Helms Polley attended high school for two years after which she studied voice. llflany high school students have had the pleasure of hearing her sing. Dr. Winifred Hyde, head of the psychology department at the University of Nebraska, also attended Lincoln high school. Ellery L. Davis, '03, is a prominent architect in Lincoln and has designed many important buildings, including the high school. EYIR SLONIGER Among the former high school students who have seen war service, Eyir Sloniger, '16, is of interest to many. Mr. Sloniger was a freshman in the University of Nebraska when the war broke out. He enlisted in the aviation service and served two years partly in this country, partly in France. ln the summer of 1919 Mr. Sloniger bought an airplane. Since then he has made many cross country flights, and he has carried passengers at state and county fairs. At present lllr. Sloniger is a junior in the University of Nebraska. -116- Bdlik Rome, Left to Right: Ed Robertson, Ferd Rhelander, Ethel Syford, Frank Ryan, Arthur Beckman.

The play was produced at what is now known as the Freie Presse building, then the Y. M. C. A. The money was used for the benefit of the athletic association. The hall was packed and the audience hilarious. One of the members of the cast said: KFinnigan's Alley' was one of the funniest plays l've ever seen and the audience was one of the nicest. -117- Gifts Ulu The Scbuul As a lasting memorial to the high school, each graduating class presents a gift. This custom was begun in 1887 and has been continued with few exceptions until the present time. The two statues which guard our auditorium doors, the various pictures along the walls of the corridors are all gifts of successive graduating classes. Nor does this custom belong only to classes. Individual alumni have expressed their appreciation of Lincoln high school. Among these is Don M. Lillie, ,II, who presented the Canterbury Tales group. The Patrons Association have given many things of value and interest. Among the people of note who have presented gifts to Lincoln high school is William J. Bryan, Who, as a token of his esteem, gave the bust of Washington. The picture of Booker T. Washington, which hangs in the library was given by the colored pupils in school in IQI5. The following is a list of Lincoln high school gifts: Class 1887-Portrait of Prof. S. P. Barrett. Class 1897-Picture of the Laughing Cavalier. Class IQO2-DIOD curtain.

Dobbins, in memory of their son, awarded the Harry Sidney Dobbins medal which is presented annually to the best boy athlete with the highest scholarship. Four years later, as a recognition of the highest average for four years, the Fred Gardner Scholarship Nledal was instituted. This is open to either boys or girls. To the best representative of the ideals of Lincoln high school, a reward of Fifty dollars, known as the senior prize was begun the same year. The awarding of this prize rests entirely with the faculty, the recipient being either a boy or girl. ln 1918, the Rotary Club presented their prizes of ten dollars and five dollars, to the girls who made the two best gradua- tion dresses within a certain set price. This year the limit is twelve dollars. Une judge is chosen from the household arts division of the State Farm, another from the household arts department of the city schools fnot a member of the faculty of Lincoln high schooll, and the third judge is a mother of any Lincoln high school pupil who is not a contestant in the making of these dresses.

This organization, which is now so popular, had to struggle through every imaginable hardship before it finally won recognition. The band made no public appearance until the spring of the year of its organization, when it played at the spring field meet at the fair grounds. Later, the board of education recognized the band as a necessary school activity, whereupon funds were appropriated and a leader was provided. C. B. Cornell filled this position for two years. Upon the resignation of lllr. Cornell, R. S. Bailey took charge of the band. After the death of IX'Ir. Bailey, lklr. Greenslit was appointed director which position he held until 1919. During the present year, one of the original members of the band, Charles B. Righter, has conducted it very successfully. The growth of the band during these last few years is comparable to the growth of the school itselft At the first rehearsal of the band there were three boys present. At the end of the first year there were seventeen members. The first piece they played, of which they were justly proud, was the 'iBoys In Blue lVIarch. Today, the band numbers fifty-nine and one of the selections upon which they have worked this year, is the overture from lNIartha. g12O-- , BRGIH I Hx: flip you jfizhzr Qian Gisli You never can tell what the Mummers will do next. This year they undertook the difhcult task of presenting the comedy-drama, You Never Can Tell, by George Bernard Shaw. lt was enthusiastically received by the large audience who witnessed its production. The character and plot interest in this play is subordinated to its pervading humor. ln an atmosphere made bright by laughter, surprises, and happy coincidences it does not seem a serious matter that a father has been estranged for year from his family, that his children have grown up without any knowledge of him, or that the dentist is almost destitute because he has had but one patient in six months of practice. Frances Gable as Gloria and Herbert Salmon as Doctor Valentine were excep- tionally strong in the leading roles. Fern Jackson and Frank Parker made the parts of the twins irresistible, while Mary Howard as Blrs. Clandon, the mother, and Charles Adams as Mr. Crampton, the father, played their parts with intelligence and distinction. Kendrick Ott was a decided success as Bohun, the lawyer, who supplemented lNTcComas, Mrs. Clandon's solicitor, in his efforts to adjust the difficulties of the estranged family. As William, the waiter-philosopher, William Bertwell interpreted his part with skill. CAST OF CHARACTERS Dolly Clandon. Dr. Valentine.. Maid .......... Philip Clandon. Mrs. Clandon..

GREGG VVATSON Spreahing The 5225115 The opening play of the Mummers was greeted by an appreciative assembly audience. In this comedy which is enacted in a listless Irish village, the Mummers proved themselves adepts in portraying the unique and amusing in character. So naturally did they play their parts, that an atmosphere of reality was created with the aid of only the simplest stage accessories. The humor of the play centered in the spreading ot a piece of news. First it reached the ears of a partially deaf old fruit-vender, Who misunderstanding it, passed it on. Travelling far and changing its aspect many times, it finally developed into an accusation of murder against Bartley Fallon, a staid and harmless old villager. The climax of the comedy is reached when the assumed victim of the murder walks into the midst of the excited townsfolk. CAST OF CHARACTERS Mrs. Tarpey.. Policeman ...... Magistrate ......

This lively comedy portrayed in a realistic Way a modern employment agency Where servile masters stood ranged for inspection by their prospective employees, the masterful servants. hlarion Boynton was a distinct success as the cook who humbled first one and then another of these timid, deferential beings. The reaction set in with the appear- ance of the Hreal thing in the person of Mrs. Thaddeus Perkins--the part played so well by Genevieve Wilson- the practical, independent, methodical employer, who could state with precision her terms of employment. You are the real thingl' was the verdict of the humbled cook as she accepted with confidence and respect the position of servant in the household of Mrs. Thaddeus Perkins. -1224 I 1 Slice iitzigwlibezjfire Imagine a girl of seventeen taking care of the affairs of the household and trying to form a younger brother and sister while their parents are in India, and having had this position since she was twelve years of age. Such was the case of young Amy Grey, played realistically by Margery Linch. Charming Alice Grey, who had just returned from India with her husband, made a very lovable mother. Although she had three children she had not yet settled down in life. Ruth North interpreted admirably the part of Alice. As Colonel Robert Grey, the husband of Alice, Robert E. Craig played his part with ease and humor. Even though it gave the colonel lumbago to dance and be gay with his wife, he enjoyed seeing her have a good time. Cosmo Grey, in the person of Loyal Bagley, was the thirteen-year-old brother of Amy. Cosmo was not used to having a father or mother about the house, and his efforts to avoid the caresses of his father were ludicrous. Amyls chum, Genevra Dunbar, was a friend in need when it came to applying her knowledge gained at the theaters. Jewel Walter took this part with Firmness and adequacy. Nurses are very human after all. At least Helen Tomson was when she did not want lXfIr. and Mrs. Grey to return from India for fear that lVIolly, the twenty- months-old baby, would bestow her love on them in preference to her. Frances Carruthers, as lylolly, wailed convincingly off-stage. Fanny, the very capable maid, was cleverly presented by Helen Hoag. Richardson, the little slavey, lent humor to the play. Hope Barkley took this part so well that one might have thought that it was written especially for her. Russell Quimby as lylr. Stephen Rollo was a rather clumsy and gentle villain and quite a deep thinker. i123- Alice Sit-by-the-Fire far surpassed the usual amateur performance.

Seldom has ,a high school performance aroused so much interest or called forth such generous expressions of praise as did this finished production of a drama that required the most earnest efforts of the performers. That it was duly appreciated by the students and their friends is shown by the call for a second performance. In this play was staged a conflict between Alwyn Bennett, the just and upright young mayor of the city, and Charles VVainwright, the leader of corrupt politics. Needless to say, it was the former that came out of the conflict triumphant-the man uf the hour. Refusing to be controlled by the corrupt politicians who had put him in office, Alwyn Bennett stood ready to sacrifice his personal happiness if need be. for the principle, Right is right no matter what happens. The work of Garrett Burt in this part was remarkable for the strength and truth of its presentation. Charles VVainwright the financier and crafty politician, Whose clever plots for a time dominate the play, was forcefully presented by Knox Burnett. Dallas Wainwright, the niece of Charles Wainyvright, inspired others with her own high ideals of character and endeavor. For love of her, Alwyn Bennett, the young man with money, took upon himself the responsibility of playing a purpoieful part in the great game of life. Frances Thorson was excellent in her portrayal of Dallas 'W'ainwright. Horrigan, the political boss, who was the partner of VVainwright in all his political maneuvers and, like the latter, knew not the quality of mercy, was played convincingly and with skill by Ross lWacGlasson. The character of Scott Gibbs, the broker, who, because of his consuming love of money, was willing to break his engagement with Dallas VVainwright provided Alwyn Bennett signed the franchise, was ably presented by Carl Bryant. James Phelan, the generous east-side alderman, with the whole hearted support of his ward, proved a power that the political boss, Horrigan, could not overcome. Frank Parker's effective rendering of this comedy part was much enjoyed by the audience. lvlrs. Bennett, the mayorls devoted and admiring mother, was played sympa- thetically by Freda Reed. Cynthia Garrison, the interesting and resourceful young girl who found it both pleasant and profitable to raise dogs for a living was charmingly portrayed by Kathryn Young. ln the role of Perry Carter 'Wainwright the buoyant, frank, carefree brother of Dallas, Edwin Lames was refreshing and natural. f1l5i lNIerle Hale was especially strong in the part of Henry Thompson, the seemingly submissive secretary of Charles VVainwright, who later in the play revealed himself in his true role as the passionate avenger of his family. The part of Richard Roberts was assigned to Glenn Stancliff, but owing to illness he was unable to take it. lilerle Hale doubled on this part. Austin llleyers, as Judge Newman, the tool of Wainyvright, Lemont Kier in the part of Henry Williams, Horrigan's leader in the council, Eldon Kiflin as Arthur Payne, the alert reporter, by skillful acting made their parts stand out in the play. Richard Dunlcer as lVIills, the butler, and Sanford Littlefield in the part of Ingram, the mayoris doorkeeper, filled their roles most acceptably.

And is it not due to this keen interest and co-operation of everv member that the glee club has accomplished so much? The first semester the girls gave the operetta, UHiawatha's Childhood, at the mid-vear concert and before the XVomans Club. They were assisted by lfvie anil Frances Burgess, Kobv Sirinsky, and Frances Colton. The boys did their share of entertaining at assemblies and in other programs. lX'Ir. Ferguson would always have readv some of the latest songs, which was fortunate, for the glee clubs were re-- quired to be generous with encores. However, most of the glee club productions occurred in the second semester. the two most important being the minstrel show and the annual opera. The minstrel show on carnival night proved a great success. A Revel in Black and XVhite best describes it. The black faces appeared to have been borrowed from Dixie, while the girls in their black and white costumes made a striking effect It was the second minstrel show presented in I.. H. S. HThe llikadof' a comic opera of Alapan, was presented hlav 14. It cannot be exaggerating to say that as soon as the curtain rose the audience immediately moved tofar-awav hlapan. This opera was the big work of the glee club, but like all their former productions, it showed that they are capable of great things. llr. Ferguson is the director, and bv the members is considered one of them. Since his coming to Lincoln in 1018. he has done much to promote music in the lincoln schools and he holds the fellowship and admiration of all the public school students, It is through his able leadership that the club has achieved success. -- 153 Iuh lee G enn ancroft, B Paul oe, C JeLos arder, I H Ernest .Z .. : 2 'J R! 2 Z ua GJ -w --.

From that time until the present year the organization has been held together by enthusiastic members and by good leadership. The leaders in the past have been lylr. Cornell, Mr. Ross, Mr. Bailey and Mr. Greenslit. Musical education in high school had not been given due encouragement by the public until this year, but added interest has been shown by an increased attendance at the concerts. People are beginning to realize that students of high school age are capable of mastering good music. The realization of this promises to be a stepping stone in the advancement of the band. The band has had many difli- culties to overcome and deserves much credit for its stage of development at the present time. This year, under Mr. Righteris directorship, the band has made ad- vancement toward becoming a first class organization. A record has been set for membership, fifty-eight having enrolled. For the first time there are girls in the band. The four girl members are proving that they too can march and play with endurance equal to that of the boys. At all the football games and at many assemblies the band has kept up the famous Lincoln spirit. Two trips have been made, one to Omaha and one to Beatrice. The student body paid most of the expenses for the Omaha trip, but for the Beatrice trip the members of the band paid their own way. Mr. Righter is aiding a great deal in making the military organization of the band successful. This form of organization was adopted in 1917.

Righter, the present director, who was then a freshman, decided that Lincoln high school had remained unmusical long enough. The result was a freshman orchestra which marked the beginning of the orchestral work in the schools. This year lvlr. Righter has introduced a new plan which promises to be very successful. He has organized an orchestra preparatory to the large one, which now has seventeen members, mostly freshmen. Next year they will have an opportunity to try out for the first orchestra. This new plan provides for all players who have not come up to the standard necessary to gain admission to the hrst orchestra and prepares them for entrance. The first orchestra has now a membership of forty-eight, the largest in its history. The list of instruments includes an oboe, Oboes are very uncommon instruments and rarely found in high school orchestras. The mid-year concert and several assemblies have proved what the orchestra can do. The efforts on the part of every member have helped to make the organization what it is, one of the best high school orchestras in the middle west. lwr. Righter also deserves great credit for obtaining the results which he has. The latest work taken up by the orchestra is the Hayden Symphony which it began this spring. lt is the largest and most difficult work attempted. The officers for the orchestra are as follows: SECOND SEMESTER SAM SEELEY ....... ........... P rmidrnr SARA11 Sl-lEFFll'I.D .... ........

It acquaints the elementary player with the demands that will later be made upon his technique, it serves as a promotional. and also as a demotional agency. lts function 1nore than in any other of the musical organizations, is instructional. llaterial used is very much the szune as is used hy the first orchestra, but more attention is given to fundamental points of interpretation and individual technical prohleins. All freshmen and new students who wish to do orchestra yvorlc are first received into the preparatory orchestra. -7433- F 015132 jllilikahu The lVIikado,l' a two-act comic opera by Gilbert and Sullivan, was performed May I4 and I5 in the Lincoln high school auditorium. This was the first time that the annual opera presented by the glee clubs had to be repeated on the following night because of the demand for seats. Both the Friday and Saturday evening per- formances were played before full houses. Ko-Ko, the loose-jointed Lord High Executioner, was confronted with the ap- palling task of self-decapitation. His efforts to find a substitute for himself were quite unavailing until he encountered the despondent Nanki-Poo who was attempting to hang himself with a clothes-line. Ko-Ko convinced Nanki-Poo that to commit suicide was an ignominious death and prevailed upon him to wait and have it done in true style by the Lord High Executioner. Frederic Colby in the part of Ko-Ko revealed a mine of unexpected humor. Pooh-Bah, Lord High Everything Else, who is able to trace his ancestry to a Uprotoplasmic, primordial, atomic globulef, was as stiff and unbending as one with such genealogy should be. Joe Zimmerman played this part like a politician. Nanki-Poo, the son of the Mikado, traveling incognito as a second trombone, was played in true minstrel style by Francis Diers. The part of Pish-Tush, a most Noble Lord, was taken by Clarence Beeson whose pleasing bass voice has not been heard before in solo parts. Ko-Ko's first, second and third wards, the three little maids from school, Ethel Upton, as Yum-Yum, Dorothy Toren, as Pitti-Sing, and Fern Jackson, as Peep-Bo were bubbling with mischief and good humor. Katisha, the elderly lady of the Mikado's court who is in love with Nanki-Poo, is the proud possessor of a shoulder blade that people come miles to see. Ko-Ko, intent on self-preservation, induces Katisha to marry him by singing a plaintive little -134- I lyric of a bird who was crossed in love. Frances Burgess Vacik took this important role. The title role, The Mikado, who wished to make the punishment fit the crime, was sung by Bliss Mapes, who emphasized his remarks with a vigorous waving of the bamboo tree on his head. Theodore Lieben SL Son of Omaha, furnished the gorgeous costumes for the play. Special scenery was constructed by hir. Harrison of the manual arts de- partment.

In that year Chemistry enthusiasm reached a climax with the organization of the first chemistry club. Since then it increased in size and prosperity until IQIQ, when no club was formed. The class of 1920 has renewed the old spirit with a zest which predicts a happy future for chemistry lovers. From the first, the meetings of the club, to which anyone interested in science is eligible, have been held bi-monthly. The hour is well taken up with a program and social time. At the first meeting Professor Swezey gave an instructive and interesting talk on The Sun and Starsn discussing their elements and evolutions. At another meeting llr. Hubbell talked on HCopper,H explaining how it is produced and its use. The club also had the privilege of hearing Dr. Upson give a talk on the relation of chemistry to the war. The students sometimes give the programs, reading papers, performing experiments or entertaining the club with exhibitions of various kinds of local talent. Each meeting is brought to a joyful close by the appearance of hot chocolate and sandwiches, or their equivalents. The following persons hold olhce: JXRTIIUR Hoiisii .... ......

Organized in 1917 for the purpose of forwarding debating and fostering any ability in public speaking that might be discovered in the school, it has been unusually effective during the year just closing. The entire debating squad, with the exception of one of the alternates, were members of the Forum. The Forum members have sold tickets for and have been well represented at all the debates held in Lincoln during the season. ' The activities of the club have not been confined to public speaking. A playlet, a Christmas party, a chalk talk by a former member, a banquet, and a picnic were some of the diversions in which the members participated. However, there were also several debates, a mock trial, and a good imitation of the United States Senate in action, to improve the ability of the members in public speaking. In one meeting Mr. Adrian Newens gave an interesting and instructive talk on making toasts. The advice was opportune, as the annual banquet was held in the following week. The date of the banquet was so fixed that the club might have as guests Mr. Homer Hewitt, the Broken Bow coach, and his debating team during their stay in Lincoln for the debate. lilr. Hewitt was formerly coach of debating in Lincoln high school and was one of the first sponsors of the Forum. ln a short talk he told the members of some of the incidents connected with the organization of the club. The originality and enthusiasm of its fifty-Hve members and the work of its two sponsors, llfliss Scott and liliss Proctor, are making the Forum one of the most active societies in the Lincoln high school. Ei Q Qlluh The Lincoln Hi HY Club enjoys the distinction of being the only high school club in the country to have a building of its own. The building is located just across the street from the high school, on Twenty-second and J streets. g It is a two-story structure and has a cafeteria, game room, reading room and lobby. The club, though not a part of the high school, concerns itself with high school boys and their problems, and endeavors to co-operate as far as possible with the school authorities. Memlyership in the club is open to all senior, junior, and sophomore boys of the schoolg and arrangements are being made for an organization devoted to freshmen. When this is effected the lower classmen will enjoy the same privileges as the upperclassmen. The Hi NYU Club conducted a wrestling tournament this year which was so successful it will be made an annual occurrence. The club holds a monthly Hget-togetheru supper and on these occasions such men as K'Farmer Burns, Dean Ringer, and Dean Fordyce give addresses. The officers are as follows: LYL12 HOLLAND .... ......

This club was organized in the spring of IQIQ for the purpose of fostering interest in botany. The club has since grown from sixteen to thirty members. Students who are taking or who have taken botany and whose semester average is eighty or above are eligible. Dues amounting to twenty-tive cents are collected to pay the expenses of the annual picnic, which was held lvlay II. Nleetings are held the Hrst and third Thursdays of every month in room 304. llusical programs or trips in search of botanical specimens often constitute the meetings. VVhen the club was founded and it became necessary to name it, the word umeristemu was chosen because it is a technical term of Greek derivation meaning to grow, it being the desire of the founders to see the club grow into one of Lincoln high school's best and largest organizations. M141 -W F The illflummers The llummers, dramatic club of Lincoln high school, has as its aim the pre- sentation of interesting, entertaining and, incidentally, instructive plays. Take for instance the plays of the past year, The Real Thing , Spreading the News , Rosa- lindau, and You Never Can Telln, the main production. The organization has over seventy members and is sponsored by hlrs. Newlon of the English department. The club is constantly increasing in popularity and is be- coming better known because of its democratic organization and excellent work. ln addition to play-acting, the club selects its own plays, designs its own costumes and scenery for special purposes, does its own advertising, has its own stage manage- unent committee, and secures the special properties for its plays. lvlembership is given to everyone who can successfully read any selection and present an original pantomime before the sponsor and three other entirely unprejudiced judges. In this case, however, read means more than merely to speak the words distinctly, it means to interpret them correctly. Perhaps the origin of the unusual name puzzles one. It is taken from the actors of the fifteenth century, who presented pantornimes only. Hence they were mum , and were called 1nu1nme1's'l. A ll -142- Ebe QBrpheun5 Although the Orpheons do not stir the rocks, trees, and beasts with their be- witching music, they do arouse an appreciation of the art in the minds of the students. lt was to bring about such results that the club was organized in 1917. In size the club is large, but in importance it is greater. Practically every musician of note in the school belongs to the club, and the members of the first orchestra are automatically members of the Orpheons. The Orpheons, although largely composed of musicians, also admit into membership students who have ability in kindred arts, such as elocution and aesthetic dancing. The Orpheons have given some extremely Well-rendered programs at school assemblies which might be compared with far more pretentious recitals. The great musical events of the year- the mid-year concert, the minstrel show, and the annual opera, The lVIikado',, all exhibited a part of the music club talent. The sponsors of this organization are Mr. H. O. Ferguson and lyliss Lucy Haywood. Taking this into consideration the achievement of the Orpheons during the past year are not quite so surprising. l -143- The ikuunh Zlliahle Any girl taking the normal training course is eligible for membership in the Round Table. The club now has an enrollment of about thirty girls, with bliss Jackson as sponsor. The one big aim of the club is the promotion of friendship among its members. The responsibility of the meetings is assumed by the girls and the programs gener- ally consist of club talent, although at times experienced educators come and talk on problems which will present themselves when the girls begin their work as teachers. Not all the activities are serious, however, as the programs are varied. Occasionally the formal programs are omitted and the afternoon is spent in Such frivolity as games and dancing. ' The members take pride in the fact that, having been organized about ten years ago, the club is the oldest now in Lincoln high school.

The organization is an auxiliary to the Y .W. C. A. Regular meetings are held at which business comes before pleasure, but pleasures are not wanting, for the programs are interesting, the games jolly, and refreshments are usually served. Quite frequently parties are held that make every student wish to become a member, for provision is made for an abundance of good times. Girls only are allowed at these parties but those in attendance openly challenge the boys to have any better times. -fl-li - Eriters Qlluh The Writers Club, during the past year, might be said to have found a perma- nent place in Lincoln high school. The aim of the society is to promote the art of writing and to give to each member the opportunity to develop his literary talent. The members have taken advantage of many opportunities to cooperate in school activities. The better English week play presented in assembly was written by a committee from the Writers Club, and the cast was composed largely of members of the society. On invitation of the faculty committee, the Writers Club judged an underclass contest of better English week rhymes. The club again came into promi- nence at the carnival by writing and producing the thrilling melodrama, Dots and Dashesu. Its popularity was shown by the fact that more people paid admission to this play than to the stunt of anyiother organization. The Writers Club is open for membership only to juniors and seniors. The applicant presents an original manuscript with the recommendation of an English teacher. These manuscripts are submitted anonymously, and judged on merit alone. The names of the successful candidates are then voted upon by the members. The programs of the regular meetings are interesting and often exceptionally clever. The members read original stories, poems, or essays. The authorship of the manuscript is not known until the paper has been discussed and criticized. One or two open meetings are held each year. Dean LeRossignol, dean of the college of busi- ness administration of the state university, spoke to the club at one of the open meetings this year. His talk was both interesting and instructive. That the aim of the club has been in part, at least, realized is shown in the interest of the members in the welfare of the society. Many of the best writers in the school are members of the Writers Club. Miss Muir is sponsor of the club. -146- 4 J I- -147- 1 l 5 J v ' i X59 8 9 I 3 .2 o 22 23 26 28 4 7 io 17 .IO 2 3 X 4 SEPTEMBER The melancholy days are come The saddest of the year.

I MAY 37, 1920 Price 551.25 with supplement ECONOMIC WAVE HITS LINCOLN HIGH STUDENTS BRAVELY RESPOND One of the steadily increasing numbers of reform movements in high school at the present time, is the economy wave. It is rumored that this institution was started by a forgetful as well as clever, stu- dent of the senior class. This per- son, on arriving at school one day, several weeks ago, discovered that he had inadvertently or otherwise forgotten to place his cravat in its proper position, namely, around his neck. Therefore, in the ab- sence of this very necessary, though cumbersome, bit of habcrdashery, he conceived the idea of economy! He could go without his tie! His vacant collar, disclosing a shiny button which shone for pure joy at beholding a light such as it had never before seen, attracted enormous attention, and it is re- ported that within half an hour of his appearance in the building, several hundred other ties had got them hence, no one knew, whither. It is alleged that the famine of neckties was started as a spite movement, the girls having dis- carded silk hosiery, but this states ment appears to be unfounded, for although several of the girls de- clared that the boys looked line without neckties, no boys were found who would pass a like re- mark about the absence of the silk hose.

ATHLETES CONFIDENT CSpecial to Snewzj Win? Why, bo, I got lem all faded. This statement was made by J. Lawrence Dunham in a spec- ial interview granted to the re- porter of THE SNEWZ yesterday evening in 126. You know, of course, con- tinued Mr. Dunham chewing on a fragment of Hitchc0ck's Revised Practice Book, 'lthat Ilve been running at the Y every Saturday and lim sure getting heavy-set. Nichols, the holder of the state record for the mile, admitted the representative of THE SNEWZ into his presence but declared with the light of determination in his clenched teeth, I am taciturn. As the reporter started to leave, Nichols suddenly exclaimed, UNO, don't make it taciturn. I used that word in an English theme last week. Let's see-make it non- committalf' Kelsey lVIcMeekin, who is ex- pected to represent L. H. S. in the dashes, also gave our reporter an exclusive interview. Kelsey, when asked, 'lWhat chance do we stand of winning the state meet? looked up from a photograph he was con- templating and replied, HI think it's her personality. Verne Lewellen, the shot-putter, told us confidentially he can chin himself with both hands. He also assured us that he would win all other events.

Our subject for this editorial is going to be: Elements of Physiognomy. We named it this so no one could correct us. In the gentle springtime when the birds and Howers, combine to form a perfume so entrancing and Mendellosian, Qwe coined this word ourselvesl, that studying could not occur, except in brief portions, so to speak, and the average student becomes infected with that infectious as well as popular malady, injurious to energy, devitalizing to the God of work, fatal to credits, and so pleasant to the bump of laze, known as drowsinessg when you feel as though you wouldn't rise even when called on in class, when you know you wouldn't respond verbally should some one acci- dentaly allow the business end of a hammer to drop on your thumb, when you needs must be moved with a power equal to that of Her- cules, to rouse you from your stupor in classroom, to go to some other room and again relapse through the stages of syncope to apostrophe, into that pleasing leth- argy, sleep, when you are forced to postpone your ride home until the next car because of your late- ness, caused apparently by the car's being ahead of timeg when you be- come so void of ambition that some other fellow is able to steal your girl from under your noseg when you worry not about war, money, women, prohibition, studies, credits, and other vices? then then, my boy, one of two things is the matter with you. You are either in love or you are afflicted with Spring Feverll' P. S.--We didnlt like it either.

Dear Editor: I spend each week ten dollars for board, ten for lodging, and five for carfare. How can I save on a twenty-five dollar salary? A. Easy. Work nights to save lodging. Sleep days to save food, and walk to work. PROVERBS A stitch in time saves embar- rassment. People who live in glass houses should dress in the dark. A rolling stone is liable to hit somebody.

CURED AFTER 70 YEARS DEAR Doc: As a mere child I suffered very much with enlarged stomach, my parents being very poor it was never full. At the age of eighteen I noticed your advertisement in the Independent Magazine and wrote at once for a bottle of your balm. I have now drunk three hundred and ninety-one bottles and feel cured at the age of eighty-nine. Although your medicine has not caused my stomach to shrink, I no longer have any appetite. I will gladly recommend your prepara- tion to my fellow sufferers. PAHR E. GoRR1cK. -Advertisement. A grape seed in the hand is worth two in the appendix. 4 SNEVVZ WITH THE NIGHT POLICE Bruce Mitchell was arrested late last night, charged with smoking cigarettes under age. Upon investi- gation it was found that the above mentioned articles were of the edi- ble variety, being composed entirely of candy. When the judge told him that he was lined S100 and costs for resisting an officer and contempt of court, he decided to lay it out. He will probably be again at large in a matter of one hundred odd days. Edgar Shoemaker was at last ap- prehended after an exciting chase by the entire force. He was charged with stealing. The charge was preferred by a young man named Smith who said he was a high school student. Smith as- serted that the defendant had stolen his date on three successive and intermittent evenings. Shoe- maker was locked up, pending trial. Lyle Holland was arrested at his home early this morning, charged with attempted murder. It is stated that he greased the hand- rails on the steps at the southwest corner of the Lincoln high school building. The seven freshmen are now at the Lincoln Sanatarium. They will recover. Early this morning Chief john- stone detailed nine special police to arrest Bernard Gradwohl who is charged with assault and intent to kill. The charge was preferred by one Monte Munn who was found unconscious on the university cam- pus about midnight. Munn stated that he and Gradwohl had dls- puted about the size of a nickle, the latter aflirming that it was live times the size of a cent. When Munn contradicted him, Gradwohl flew upon him and battered him almost beyond recognition. Crying over spilt milk is simply adding more water to it. VVhy need a clock strike?

FASHION NOTES Owing to the new mode of covering the lower extremities, that is, to use for protection against cold, nothing but woolen material, several of our this season's de- butantes, who have refused to al- low us to print their names, have, in sheer desperation, decided to cease attending our high school. An indignation meeting was held several weeks ago, in 326 attended by several dozen girls of the senior class who protested against a peti- tion drawn up and signed by a large number of senior boys. This petition begged the school board to allow the class of 1920 to graduate in caps and gowns. The girls ob- jected to it on the grounds that it has not been the custom, and that it is much better to do as former classes have done, rather than have the school give the class of 1920 the bad name of being original. FOOLISHNESS After you , said the polite cop to the fleeing thief. As the football season approaches the barbers grow idle and the doctors prepare to work overtime. A woman runs from a mouse, did you ever see a mouse catch a woman? A girl can never realize the joy of a boy when he dons his first pair of trousers. An Irishman declared he was going to become wealthy if it took every cent he had to do it. A hill is sometimes called a bluff because it looks steeper from the bottom than it really is. I would rather have at wooden leg than be a blockhead. That he who runs may read, doesn't apply to a danger sign. That means That he who reads may run. VVhiCh do you prefer, to have people think as you do, or do as you think? Never get behind a mule or a joke. Each is liable to kick back- wards. Zlhhertising Section Armstrong Clothing Co.

Zgallah hfly dismal tale is this? There was a lovely maid, Who loved a very handsome lad, VVho lived near where she stayed. Now with this lad and lassie lTwas a case of love at sight, And they swore to each other They would love with all their might. One day this youth and maiden Were strolling 'long the beach, VVhen the fair one saw a pretty shell, Just out beyond her reach. Of course her hero Went Out there to get that shell, But suddenly he turned in fear, For behind he heard a dreadful yell. It was a great big monster The sea-god, Neptune, sent, And when the poor boy saw her fate, Himself he beat and rent. The monster seized her by the hair And dragged her on the beach, Then out into the ocean, Far out beyond his reach. He could not live without her love, She'd never be his wife, He drew his sword from out its sheath And stabbed out all his life. -Wilma lklelton 20 Svnrivig Eranh Gllnihra FOI?

And then the lights went out. Above the splashing of the water could be heard shrill feminine shrieks of fright. ' The death-like stillness of mid-ocean with a huge, storm-riven hulk slowly sinking into the depths of seething, treacherous waves, may be the image called up in your mind. But such was not the grandeur of the scene. The lights went out, it is true, but there was no turbulent, seething ocean, merely the swimming pool in the gymnasium. The only note of warning was the shrill whistle of the teacher. Naturally, there was no wild rushing for life preservers, for the cry was, All outf' Another siren, All out of the pool until the lights go onf' And everyone climbed out. Soon could be distinguished the silhouettes of many figures all in a row, seated on the slippery bank, and splashing gaily in the gloom.

QEuIIer Considering the fact that numerous students deeply feel the need for a complete list of excuses to present to lvlr. Culler, we wish to provide the long wanted inventory and give a little advice Cvery little indeed, as the reader is about to findj, as to the manner of offering and how close excuses may border on prevarication. According to the best authorities, you should speak to Mr. Culler in a friendly vein, chewing gum the while, and hoping he will enjoy himself at the teachers ban- quet. Upon noticing the apparent wrath, turn hastily, but yet seemingly unconcerned to another topic. Mention the beauty of the lawn or the condition of the halls. Either topic should soothe lXfIr. Culler. Do not fall into the error of speaking to the point, be indefinite, roundabout, disguise your reason for appearing before Mr. Culler as long as possible. The following suggestions may serve to indicate some lines of excuses to offer: I. State the number of times you have received unexcused tardiness slips. 2. What you thought of them, and of the person who gave them. 3. Give your height, weight, number of teeth and chest expansion. CThis is not necessary, but may have some influenced 4. Then state your reason for tardiness. fAn examplej Say that the rear tire blew out. Do not fail to give the size of the tire. Much depends on the size, if you were very late the tire must be correspondingly large to make up for the long time needed to put on a new one, but if you were only a few minutes late you were riding a bicycle. CShould you miss the entire first period, remember tires are not made that large.D 5. State your political preference and why. CML Culler is a Republicanj 6. Say you have gone to school under three different boys advisers and that the reason they gave you unexcused absences was due, undoubtedly, to their lack of experience and capability in handling boys. CBe subtle with your flatteryj 7. Name the various offices you have held since your freshman year. Also give your chances for presidency of the student council in your senior year. 8. Point out any little improvements you consider desirable in the management of the high school. Preface such remarks with, Pray don't think I want to teach you your business, but - 9. Mention your hobbies and, after several visits to Mr. Culler, you should be able to discover his hobby. A person with a hobby in common with you will think nothing of giving you an excused tardiness slip. QThe author has not as yet found Mr. Culler's hobby.D Finally hand Mr. Culler a stamped and addressed envelope so that the school may not have to pay postage on the suspension slip which will be sent to your parents after you have followed the above formula for obtaining excused tardiness slips.

My music teacher Cmay the gods cause me to have mercy on herj struck a match and lighted an hitherto unused tallow candle, and setiit aHame. That candle was mine, and its name was confidence. Do you know what a studio recital is, or rather means? If you don't that's a blessing you can thank the Almighty for. I can't thank Him, because I know. That's why, when Bliss Rinkler announced a recital for the coming Saturday, I protested miserably, HI can't play anything well enough. l'm sure I'll forget that Beethoven movement.

The genius of memory was slow in coming, but I was Confident- it was a repeat, so I repeated. Once again I came to the bottom of the page - still memory hadn't returned, so I repeated again. But by the third tinIe I was getting dizzy. I made five mistakes in as many seconds. It would be well to end it, so I rolled a tremendous amenH- the last note fell short, and the result a crashing discord that sent a flock of sparrows on the window ledge scurrying into the distance. But such a disappointment didn't snuff out my candle. I dreamed dreams of holding unaccountably large audiences spellbound with the beauty and wonder of music.

Then I would bring thunder crashes, the mighty roar of giant falls, of battles victorious,- and again, the wickedness of the siren's song. It would be so wonderful that, after the momentary sputtering over disappointment, the flame leaped, and fell, and grew brighter the while. Oh! I would be a musician! A week later Miss Helton, my drawing teacher, looked shocked and pained to hear me say that I was no good with intricate designing. OhI but you are. It took even intricate designing to do the poster for which you won the prize. All you need is confidence. With your talent and confidence you can do anything in the art line. Confidence again, I could do anything if only I had confidence. Evidently, there is nothing like it on the market, guaranteed not to fade or shrink in the wash. I was rather wary on the subject of confidence. It hadn't made me great yet, at least. I undertook the role of Gratiano in the court scene of The Merchant of Venicef' Gratiano said some rather sarcastic things in that scene and I said them likewise, as a matter of course. He occasionally forgot himself and spoke his mind, giving, on one of these occasions, the expression For God's sake.

I could almost see her hair rise. fShe was born and reared in New Englandl. Well, after the play was over, a woman who indulged in amateur the- atricals told mother that if I only was given half a chance, with confidence, l might become an actress of some repute. At the word confidence, I must have shivered, for mother hastily drew a wrap over my bare shoulders. By this time confidence and I were old comrades. We dreamed together, we ate together, and together we were turning out an admirable article,- musician, artist, actress, all in one. Then a lady author got hold of some letters I wrote-just common, everyday letters-and very graciously informed mother, 'fSome day your daughter is going to be an author. Such talent is bound to come out, and with lots of confidence, talent can do anything. I hastily drew a drink from the faucet, and choked on it.

The limited idea some persons possess of Christmas stories centers around gifts, holly, mistletoe, and turkey. ,Many documents by noted authors have declared that a Christmas story can not be written without mentioning the above articles, or similar edibles or ornaments. Dickens tried it himself, but a plum pudding slipped in. Many cases might be cited, but it is sufficient to say that I, myself, will attempt it forthwith. Doubt has arisen in my mind as to the advisability of beginning a story with f'Once upon a time, or f'Many years ago, for the very evident reason that a reader, upon picking up a story beginning in this fashion would immediately throw it across the room or commit assault and battery upon it. It was Christmas. The Store That Serves You Well 40 years in Lincoln proves the rock- like stability of our organization. I 'l'l'l DAYLIGIIT STUD! Remember that you are not to think of mistletoe, holly, or any Christmas accoutre- ments, but picture to yourself, if you can, the scene I am about to paint. In accordance with modern literature I will yield one point and admit that the day was clear, as it invariably is in modern Christmas stories. But the snow was not falling silently Cas it usually does out of a clear skyj 5 nor did it cover the earth in a mantle of white, causing the trees to assume fanciful shapes, as is the ruleg nor were the family grouped about the blazing log fire in the library. As explanation for these statements I can only seek refuge in the truth, and ad- mit that there was no hearth, no family, no blazing log fire, no trees, no vegetation of any description, no snow, and indeed, no earth. I say no earth, for no earth was in sight. In all directions nothing but sand was to be seen, except when one looked up, when his gaze would be arrested by nothing but the sky, which was blue. ln addition, to build a fire would be more than an eccentricity, it would be lunacy, with the sun outdoing itself, as on the present occasion. From the above statements you may have discovered our whereabouts. lt is a desert of course, for no where else would you find such an abundance of sand.

At present he is sitting on the sand, eating a meagre lunch of club house sandwiches, caviar, camembert, and Hungarian salad. His face pro- claims him fifteen years old, his build proclaims him twenty, his hair and beard pro- claim him thirty, and his attire proclaims him an Egyptian. As a matter of fact, he is only twenty-five and an Arab. And now comes the mystery. When an Arab dresses as an Egyptian, you may be sure there is a mystery somewhere. This mystery will be cleared up in due time. The traveler, whom we shall call Adhem, having finished his lunch, proceeded to scrape the sand with his forehead-the Arabian idea of worship. When he had finished his prayers, he looked around to see if any one had noticed him, and finding no one had, sat down in disgust. A'What,s the good of religion if it sets an example to no one ? he asked himself, and, finding no answer, once more scrutinized the landscape. This time his gaze was rewarded. In the distance a caravan appeared, like a long snake wriggling itself across the desert. As it approached it gradually took shape and revealed the fact that it was not only heavily loaded but also heavily guarded. The caravan, composed entirely of camels, ambled onward, and within two hours, had come sufficiently near for Adhem again to begin his orisons. His curtain calls being entirely orthodox CArabianD this time, met with better results, and he had no more than completed his three-hundredth round of earth, space, and sky, when he had an audience consisting of at least nine Arabs. The leader, after whispering to his camel in a loud tone, stepped from the camel's neck to the sand, when the animal had laboriously sunk to his knees, and proceeded towards the automaton. 'fMaster Abdulf' spoke one of the drivers. He is found. blaster Abdul Nomorcoffe, a pompous person sporting a red turban in lieu of a hat, and possessing an enormous beard which he carried wrapped on a card, now spoke: What's the idea? Who is found? And why the wandering whirlwind was it not something lost? We have too much to carry now. Master, was it not by the order of her most serene highness, the Princess of Hissonandad, that we should search for him who removed the crown jewels from the royal palace? asked the first speaker, Tooknotaffe, right hand man of the Rajah of Tallatohootchistan. Right, Tookno, as usual. But let us see the man, answered Abdul. The pair proceeded to the spot, and were able to speak to Adhem, who by this time had slowed down to such an extent that he could observe his audience and they him. Whence come you ? inquired Abdul loudly. The man eyed him narrowly. Were I better acquainted with you, he answered, I should say that I came from Arabia, but as my raiment discloses my nationality, suffice it to say that I came from Cairo. This answer being so clear and explicit, Abdul and Tookno had a short con- sultation. His face is strangely familiar, but I can't place it, said Abdul. I think he is the culprit. What say you, master?', HI am of the same mind. He must come with us. Use force if necessary. Tookno now spoke to Adhem, Sir, far be it from such humble travelers as ourselves to withhold hospitality in such a place. -I beg of you to join usf' With pleasuref, answered Adhem. Abdul, who had anticipated a struggle, seemed pleased. After the introductions and formalities were over, the caravan once more set out. II Two months have elapsed, a habit which months invariably get in stories.

Seated upon a throne, with her sumptuous robes Howing about her, the appearance was truly regal, and a sight to inspire awe. The avenue leading to the Kiosk was paved with polished cobble stones, and was lined with beautiful trees. Down this lane late in the afternoon of this particular day, a small cortege appeared, and after having passed the guards successfully, at last held converse with the Princess. Your Highness, began Abdul, at last we have found the kleptomaniac. This is the person. And he pointed to Adhem. And the jewels? inquired the Princess. Ah, yes,'l murmured Abdul, the jewels. 'Tis true he has them not with him, but 'tis not surprising, for would he not hide them ?,' 'Alt must be, asserted Tookno. We have searched his effects whilst he slept and have found them not. Sir,', she said, addressing Adhem, f'Hast thou ought to say of thine actions?l' Adhem swung his pack to the ground and advanced. HYour Highness, he said, if you will deign to inform me of the charges brought against me, I will make such excuses as I can. The Princess replied quickly, You have stolen the crown jewels from my palace, and we shall cast you into prison until you disclose the place where you have hidden them. Ah, and will t ey drag me through the streets. inquired Adhem, his face lighting up. That they will. Then I am the guilty personf' So be it, returned the Princess. HAway with him. They left, with Adhem firmly grasped between two of the largest huskies in the party. Through the streets they went, and by the time they had gone half a mile a large crowd was following them. Adhem eyed this mob with delight and finally sup- plicated his guards to allow him a moment's rest, which they granted, at a nod from Abdul. Adhem, after unslinging his bag, opened it, took from it a number of small bottles, and after mounting a convenient doorstep, spoke to the multitude. HFriends, fellow slaves, citizens, and frauds, I have here-I' The crowd started to leave. Adhem continued: I have here the greatest invention the world has ever known or ever will know again. Coming from the brain of one of the world's leading chemists, it is absolutely guaranteed, and after I had invented it and demonstrated its wonderful healing powers to my friends, they gave me no peace but insisted that I place it on the market as a boon to mankind.

Allah is Great. Allah is good. What have I ever done to Allah that he should thus persecute me? What is the trouble, Master? asked Tookno. Ah you are indeed fortunate. You have never seen this man before. In truth it is no other than Inbad, called the liar, and by the holy finger nail file of lVIohammed, I will have no more to do with him. Let us go. So they left. Meanwhile Inbad- for since we have disclosed his identity, such we must now call him - continued: h 'gn 'fAnd in addition we claim nothing for the 'Balm of Life, which we cannot prove beyond a doubt.
