E. Pearson, Mr. Shepherd had organized the first junior high school, of which he served as principal for five years before coming to Lincoln high. When Mr. Leflcr introduced the new principal, he said that we should find in Mr. Shepherd, among other things, a man who was deeply interested in high school boys and girls, and one who was an exponent of the square deal. In the school year that has intervened between that time and this, Lincoln high has found all this to be true. Mr. Shepherd possesses those qualities and many more, all of which go to make up a versatile principal who has made firm friends among both faculty and students. Lincoln high school is fortunate in having the guidance of a man as cosmopolitan as its present principal. Mr. Shepherd has had wide experi- ence as an administrator in educational fields, from the time of his gradua- tion from Baker University, Kansas, until his arrival in his present posi- tion at Lincoln high school. His experience in administrative education has included principalship and superintendency in several cities, and since he has had the advantage of comparing the systems of these, and retain- ing the best methods of each, Mr. Shepherd is in a position to render the best possible service to Lincoln high school. He has taken advanced study at the University of Chicago and has been a continuous student of educa- tional problems of the day. When Mr. Shepherd addressed the students of Lincoln high for the first time, he laughingly observed that he had been looking things over very carefully here, and that he was aware that he, too, had been very carefully looked over. Lincoln high school now knows the result of its own measurement of Mr. Shepherd and realizes that Mr. Shepherd has also formed an opinion of the high school to which he has come. It is the wish ofthe students that Mr. Shepherd may have found them as loyal and sincere as they have found Mr.'Shepherd. -3-- 1015111151115 SvPniur5 .

Iwflrr At the head of the Lincoln sehools, and re- sponsible to the people for the high standard of l eftieieney, is the superintendent, Millard C. lqetler. As M r. Letier was at one time assistant principal of the high school, it is with natural pride that the members of liineoln high sehool, the alumni and the faeulty, watch the progress of the sehool system under its present capable leadership. The position of head exeeutive for the sehools of liineoln, Nebraska, is a most responsible o11e, for llineoln is a eity that eau justly boast of her edueational advantages. A systematie study of fifty sehool systems in eities of over forty thou- sand, and under a hundred thousand, shows that liineoln is far superior to the average. Although llineoln has a population slightly under the aver- age population of the eities eompared, the number of pupils enrolled in the llineoln sehools is approx- imately one and a third times that in the average eity. The enrollment in the high school alone is nearly twiee the enrollment in the average eity of this group. Another interest- ing faet is that more pupils finish the high sehool in liineoln than in any other eity in the group. Then again, the building program for the maintenanee of so extensive a sys- tem is of the greatest eomplexity. A new junior high sehool whieh will be a great 4-redit to Lineoln, and, in fart to a eity many times larger than llineoln, is in pro- eess of eonstruetion. This new junior high sc-liool will relieve the overerowded high sehool of four hundred pupils. VVith all this expansion the need of more room is still aeutely felt. l ine progress is now being made, but a late start has put llin- eoln far behind her needs in housing the sebool population. Une of Mr. Letler's grave eoneerns, therefore, is finding room for the added hosts who pour into liin- eoln eaeh year to take advantage of the superior opportunities for edueation. To earry out plans so far-reaehing and so abreast of the times requires the high- est type of effieieney as an edueator and an exeeutive. Millard t'. Letier, a gradu- ate of the advaneed normal eourse from a Nebraska normal sehool, holds both an A. ll. and an A. M. degree from the University of Nebraska. lle is peeuliarly titted for his position as superintendelmt, as he has taught in village sehools, has served as prineipal and as assistant to the superintendent, and has held a professorship at Peru Normal. Mr. lletler has proved himself eapable of playing the double role of edueator and exec-utive aml of doing so in a masterly manner. flu-- Aaaiztant Xdrinripalu A strong organization is seldom build up through the efforts of one man, but it is success- ful because someone with executive power had the efficient help of capable assistants and was able to work with them in the proper way. A general does not win a battle through his own efforts, praise is due to his faithful aides. In just that way, the principal of a high school cannot build up a successful organization without assistance. The organization of liincoln high would not be complete without both its assistant principals, Miss Olivia M. Pound and Charles Tl. Cluller. Miss Pound has endeared herself to all the girls with whom she has been in contact, Zlllll as she has learned to know a great many in her capacity as adviser, she is held in high regard by the girls of liincoln high school. However, it is not with them alone that Miss Pound finds favor. She has that happy faculty of doing great deal of work at once without. appearing hurried, or too busy to assume a new responsibility. She may bc Y MISS OLIVIA M. POLTND swamped in a multitude of tasks, and yet her thoughtful advice is always to he obtained for the asking. She is willing to consider carefully the student's side of every question. These are the qualities, among others equally likeable, that cause the boys and girls of Lincoln high to introduce Miss Poundw, with pride, to every visitor. I Mr. t'uller has achieved an unusual distinc- tion. llis is the task of disciplining the boys who come to him for correction, and it is but a proof of his kindly personality that Young America, after such correction, does not cherish a grudge against Mr. Fuller, but rather, admires him the more. At only one time during the day does one dread to see Mr. Fuller. Those few unhappy mo- ments begin at 8:26 and extend for a short period thereafter, until one's tardy slip is duly signed. lflven then the fault, dear Brutus, lies in our stars , and not in Mr. tfuller. Mr, t'uller has other duties that do not lie in the realms of disci- pline, however, and these he handles in the same efficient manner that is always characteristic of him. There is an insistent twinkle ot' merriment ever lurking behind Mr. t'uller's bright glasses, that has done much toward making him the well- beloved assistant principal of whom liincoln high school is proud.

W. get 1 i Gllaaa Spnnaura Someone has said that a sponsor is a cross between a guardian angel, a tinan- cial secretary and a fairy godmother. A sponsor is all that and much more. Praises are loud when a class achieves success in a play or assembly, but they are often not loud enough to reach the ears of those to whom most of the credit is due-thc sponsors. It sometimes seems that all the faithfulness, good judgment, and hard work of a sponsor go unrewarded. The class of 1922 intends that its sponsors shall not feel any lack of appreciation for their untiring work. Miss Yungblut, who is now Mrs. Paul T. Babson, and Miss Roth, who is now Mrs. Ralph S. Moseley, were appointed in the freshman year to pilot the class over the troubled seas of education. By their clear sightedness and adaptability they won the hearts of every one. ln the sophomore year Miss Nellie E. Clark replaced Miss Yungblut as spon- sor. Miss Clark has given unsparingly of her time for three years in planning, thinking and working for the class of '22. She has been loyal to the class and fair in her decisions. lier winning personality has made her beloved by all thc class. Miss Goldie Applegate, a new teacher in high school, was appointed at the be- ginning of the junior year. it is in the junior year that a class first becomes am- bitious or conspicuous and the work begins in earnest. Miss Applegate came in for her full share of the responsibility right at the beginning. By her cheerful- ness and good judgment she came into favor in the class. All the rehearsals for the junior play were attended by Miss Clark or Miss Applegate, and their valuable suggestions helped immensely. At tiresome com- mittee meetings their sound advice surmounted numerous difficulties, their work on the olympics and the junior-senior made the junior year a success. In the senior year their faithfulness, ingenuity and hard work have surpassed all former efforts. The goal they set was to make the class of 1922 a star class in the history of Lincoln high school and they have worked incessantly to help the class attain this standard. The class of 1922 owes to these loyal sponsors the greatest appreciation. The seniors realize that they can repay them best for their efforts by remaining true to the high ideals which, as sponsors, they have established for this class. It is a matter of much regret to the Links staff that the portraits of the sponsors of this class could not be secured. Swninr 0112155 Eliiatnrg One of the largest, possibly the greenest, and certainly the youngest class of freshmen that ever clamored for admittance into Lincoln high stormed the door one morning in September, 1918. It was large, not individually, but collectively, three hundred and fifty is no mean number of green young things to be thrust upon a school. It was green, because there never was such an utter lack of intelli- gence displayed when it came to finding the right class rooms or searching for ele- vators. It was young, terribly, undeniably young, for there never were such youth- ful boys in short trousers, or such small, scared girls with huge monoplanes on their heads. These monoplanes were sometimes called hair ribbons and the girl who had the largest was considered the most popular. Blossom Hilton and Pauline Tait vietl for this honor. -g2- '- 2' V FIRST SEMESTER OFFICERS Hugh Cox Emmett Junge Albion Speier Clyde Hardin Helen Oberlies John Allison In spite of their faults, for which they were mercilessly teased by the clever upper classmen, these young things were talented. Anyone who dares to disbe- lieve this will have ample contradiction if he remember the prowess of Koby Sirinsky as a musician, Mildred Ames as a writer, Hugh Cox as an orator, Iris liudden as an actress, and Helen Sells as an artist. When they had barely got acquainted with their classmates and teachers, when they had discovered that room 219 Wasn't between 218 and 220, they were stunned at the announcement that there would be three weeks vacation on aecount of the influenza epidemic. Shortly after this much needed rest, as they eame to sehool one morning they heard terrific reports eoming from the erstwhile calm building. Investigating, they discovered that the older boys were shooting off firecrackers and Velline' as though . D D they would split their throats. After much timid questioning they learned that the Armistice was signed-the World War was over. This meant a great deal to Lincoln high, for many of her students had enlisted, fought and some had died in the conflict. They would now at least be free from danger: and, perhaps would , ' '7 soon be coming back. Promptly the t'reshmen added their yells to the others and pandemonium reigned. After an assembly school was closed for the day. Finally the elass of '22 had its first meeting. Miss Florence Roth and Miss Edith Yungblut were selected to see the members through their high school career. Myron Reddish was chosen their first president. Meetings were rather irregular, but somehow the class clung together. Don Olds was elected president the second semesterg a Valentine play was given in assembly, and to the delight of everyone, the much planned-for and hoped- for party came off at last. Sch I -l .' l blut left to be married. oo 4 osec on the freshman year just as Miss Yung- There was a great, marked change in the class when they came back for their sophomore year. Any seasoned junior or senior, in comparing '22 with the strange -63- looking group of the previous year eould not help notieing this. Gone were the monoplanes from the girls' heads, they were replaced by puffs over the ears. The boys no longer wore knee trousers, but sported long ones. They no longer giggled, or turned pink, when an older student spoke to them, why-they wouldn't even get out of the way for a senior. Koby Sirinsky was ehosen president the first semester, and Miss Nellie Clark sueeeeded Miss Yungblut as sponsor. It w'as then that the debating team, David Webster, llugh Vox and Robert Chase, defeated the freshmen, juniors, and even the seniors in inter-elass debates. Just as Jlans for a so Jhomore mart were ri e sehool was interru Jted much , n n , n 1, s 1 , to everyone s ehagrin and grief, by a five weeks entoreed vac-ation, owing to a fuel shortage. The seeond semester, under the leadership of Jaek Wilsoli, the elass decided to make up for all the time lost heretofore. First, eolors were ehosen, blaek and white. Any elass with sueh original eolors has something to live up to, and '22 proeeeded to ereate a name for itself. Every two weeks meetings were held in 426. Programs were presented, after whieh the sophomores made merry to the tune of Jazz Baby. tteorge Underwood, in the plaee of honor on top of the piano, fiddled t'or dear life. ltlnvious juniors and seniors stood at the doors and peeked in. By the beginning ot' its third year, the elass of '22 was deeidedly grown up. Almost every girl had her hair up, shining pompadours and knife-like ereases in the trousers testitied that boys, too, had grown up. They had grown, not only in height, but in standing ot' the sehool. They were respeeted, privileged, their opin- ions were sought on important matters. Even the seniors eonsidered them, for they realized they had a rival in popularity. During this time of awakening to responsibilities, Uliobl' Stephens was wisely ehosen president. The elass seemed to be a fated one, for Miss Roth had lefl in the spring to beeome Mrs. Ralph S. Moseley. Miss tloldie Applegate was eleeted to take her plaee. Pins and rings purehased at this time, seemed like emblems of new found dignity and responsi- bilitv. The tirst thing that stood out in their eareer as juniors was junior open night. This was their Heoming outn party and they outdid themselves. Rlaek and white testoons, Japanese umbrellas, and red lights eombined eompletely to disguise the gymnasium. The guests, adorned in patriotie eaps, were marehed around and around in a grand mareh until they were dizzy. Pauline Tait and Robert lflarquhar dis- tinguished themselves when they won the prize danee, and reeeived a kewpie for their etforts. The next event that loomed up was ot' some importanee-the annual play. -27.200 fl Year, a eomedy by Edna l+'erber, was seleeted. The east with Ruth Vir- tue, Frank llinges, Thelma Sexton and l red Funke playing the leading parts, was ehosen the last ot' January. Mrs. Ruth Newton eoaehed the embryo aetors and aet- resses tor four exeiting weeks, the play was given Mareh 4. Judging from the aounds of mirth that eame from the audienee when t'hris Zsupnik and his wife, portrayed by tteorge Woodle and Marie t'ronley, expounded their ideas in broken linglish, or from the applause ealled forth by Ruth Virtue and Thelma Sexton, one may say it was a sueeess. The preeeding events were dinnned almost into nothingness in the light of the gigantic- undertaking whit-h was at hand, the olympics. Ronald Button was now president, and under his leadership the f-lass vietoriously eompleted its eareer as juniors. The preparations that went on for that fateful day! How the juniors planned, hoped and prayed that they might stand a show! The boys trained, the girls -124- SECOND SEMESTER OFFICERS Ernest Bruee Mildred Ames Ben Gadd Helen Oberlies Iris Ludden Fred Funke trained and praetit-ed yells. l'erhaps the seniors prayed and trained just as hard -hut their efforts were useless. The elass ol' '22 upset all traditions and estab- lished something new-the juniors won the olynipiesl The seniors, true sports that they were, sinilingly adniitted that '22 was the stronger elass. Hn May 27, they 4-rowned their already long list of sueeesses hy a party for the seniors-the annual junior-senior. A program at sehool was followed hy 21 rlanee at Antelope pavilion. Everything, from the streanlers that hid the lig'hts to the l'ClCl'QSllllltllllS, was earried out in lavender and pink, the senior eolors. A now- fanious orehestra, the Southern Hag'-a.-Jazz, kept everyone daneing until almost. midnight. A easual observer, looking over the seniors as they eonle hat-k for their last year, might have thought that nature was reverting to type. Instead of looking g'rown up and dignified, they seemed surprisingly young' and earefree. tlirls with hohlmed hair and short skirts were all one eould see. Were these the girls of a year ago? T., . Yes, they were the sanle ones. ln spite of ltolwlmed hair and short skirts, they felt the dignity they did not show. l or they, as a elass, had t'0lll0 into their nua- jority-the state of seniors-the Inost envied, most eopied, rnost sought-for plaee in the sehool.

Senior eolor day ealne at last after nnu-h planning. The elass had stuhlvornly refused to ehange its eolors so the eolor sc-heme was lmlaek and white. Every- one gathered in 226 at eig'ht ok-loek, and reeeived a eap and a lralloon. Two hy two they niarm-hed into an 21SS0lllllly given entirely hy seniors. l irst, the 1-lass song' was presented. Then eaine a prograln: seleetions hy the senior orehestra, a short play, and songs hy the senior girls sextette. The banquet followed that evening.

Later daneing to Ma! the worthy seniors forgot the dig'nity they were supposed to have. -tas- Fred l unkc was chosen president for the last semester in school. A commit,- tee selected The Man From Home, by Booth Tarkington, for the senior play. A cast was chosen in l ebruary and for five weeks, under the coaching of M rs. liucile Foster, they labored early and late. They were many times rewarded for their work in the recognition they received when they presented the play April T and 8. The splendid acting of Kenneth Kolb and Adah Heemer in the leading roles of Daniel Voorhees Pike and Ethel Grainger-Simpson helped make the play an enor- mous success. Dorothy Culver, Kenneth Anderson. Elmer Graham, and Julius Coch- ran portrayed difficult character parts exceptionally well. A great deal of the story remains to be told-for one cannot write what has not yet happened. tllympics, class picnic, class day, spring banquet, senior sermon and commencement are yet in the future. The school has given to the fullest ex- tent to the class. In return the class has endeavored to make a lasting impression upon the school. llowever that may be the seniors realize that it is not their class which has made Lincoln high school great but the spirit of Lincoln high school that has made the class of 1922 a memorable one. winter 0112155 Ellliatnrg The early history of the winter class has not been lost in the shades of a long-forgotten past for the simple reason that there was no early history to lose. At least there was so little that all herein contained was found only after patient- ly nosing over the dusty old records in the high school office. These records state that in the early part of January, 1918, eighty-eight wide-eyed freshmen with erect hair ribbons or short trousers landed in the high school, bag and baggage, and established themselves there after fighting the fierce native race of Studes with their Tutor chiefs. This settlement was soon swallowed up by another, how- ever, the members of which called themselves Hstalen since they had come over the first semester, and these two groups lived together as freshies for the rest of the year and for six long semesters to come. Just before Christmas vacation in 1921 the long-rumored break in this com- bination occurred. H. P. Shepherd, the new principal, stated that he would have to ask the groups of seniors containing a large part of the eighty-eight freshmen of 1918 to take upon themselves the honor of forming the first Lincoln high mid-year class, since the next invading freshmen would strain the school house rivets to the breaking point while trying to squeeze themselves in. As an official list of these seniors had been drawn up and posted, the various graduates-to-be learned who their colleagues were and began to start an organization for the pioneer mid-year class. At a class meeting held December 15, Ralph McGoogan was chosen president and given the responsibility of helping the new class to have a last taste of high school fun, and of showing it how to acquit itself well at graduation. Miss Goldie Applegate, a sponsor of the regular seniors, was asked to perform the same duty for the mid-years. Eddie Wilson and Grace Davey were given the respective of- fices of vice-president and secretary-treasurer at the same meeting. After the holidays, lil r. Shepherd invited the class to occupy a separate home room but the members decided to keep the seats from which they had such an ex-- cellcnt view of the asscmbly programs. Thereupon many mysterious meetings had to be held during the home room periods, and the seeming secrecy of these gath- erings set the regular class all agog with curiosity. The only really secret thing that happened was the practice of the new senior song which had just been written by Viola Fairchild, Paul Sterkcl, Keith Folger, Thelma Sexton and Ralph lllcffoo- .-gg.. gan. Thelma played the piano at these rehearsals, and after cries of author had been strenuousl raised Ral h and Paul 'ot u fin front to lead. .Y y Q Senior color day came on Thursday, January 19. Black and white were claimed as the class colors and used extensively in the form of conical hats and long rib- bons streaming from bamboo canes. Canes with streamers were chosen in prefer- ence to the balloons often used,'as the committee remembered the sadness which can so easily be caused by a freshman with a pin, but almost as much sadness was caused among spectators by some boys imbued with the D'Artagnan spirit who tried dueling with their canes. In the color day assembly the senior song made its tirst appearance. The class will and the prophecy, written by the same commit- tee that turned out the song, were also read at that time, and though some of the will's provisions and some of the prophecy's predictions were slightly personal, no murders or suicides are known to have resultedt After assembly the class went on an officially sanctioned vacation, in the course ot' which it expected to have a weiner roast and skating party. The weiner roast and skating party plans were dropped on account of weather conditions, so the members were left to enjoy themselves individually. The junior class, with little time on its hands, but with plenty of energy and good will, rallied and invited the graduating class to a junior-senior party to be held on the same Thursday. Wurzel Flummery, a one-act comedy presented by the Mummers, started the festivities, and an unknown quantity of punch mingled with dancing ended the same. The traditional senior banquet drew the student activities of the class to a close. On January 25 some eighty members together with Mr. ll. P. Shepherd, Miss Olivia Pound, Mr. and Mrs. G li. Culler, and Miss Goldie Applegate gathered ill the high school cafeteria to celebrate the occasion. The solemnity which would seem to be appropriate to such a parting with high school life was conspicuous by its absence and the banquet was finished, the toasts were given, and the dancing began a general jollification. The senior sermon was delivered by Dr. W. T. Elmore on the morning of Janu- ary 22 in the First Baptist Church. The ,Web of Fates was the subject of Dr. Elmore's sermon, the theme of which will not soon be forgotten. The class credits itself with having applied 'tsenior sermon to this occasion rather than baccalaureate sermon which is incorrectly used by most high school seniors. Graduation exercises for the one hundred and six members of the winter class of 1922 were held at the high school auditorium on the night of January 27. George W. Woods, president of the board of education, presented the diplomas, Dr. Hart- ley B. Alexander, professor of philosophy at the University of Nebraska, delivered the graduation address, and the high school orchestra and girls glee club furnished music. Dr. Alexander's address was based on The Republic by Plato. He urged the graduation class to make its own connnonwealth, Nebraska, the reality of that imaginary land described by the great Greek philosopher. That his advice was an inspiration to tl1e winter seniors is certain. Whether or not it will be carried out can not be recorded in the history of a high school class, it is now for a world his- tory to carry on the records. -67k Dale Holden Fred Chase Douglass Orr Alice Springer Katherine MeVVhinnie Burt Stout 0112155 nf 1923 Activity, with a touch ot' originality, continues to he the dominant charac- teristic ot the class ol' '23, which at the close of its third year, looks forward over the three short months, to the time when it will occupy the auditorium-the seats ol' the mighty. Although full ot events, this third year has passed swiftly and now that the juniors are preparing to become seniors-it is not without interest to view the mark which this class has made for itself. The least expected eame to this class in the torm ot' a mid-year junior-senior, given forthe lirst winter class that was graduated. The party was given on the twenty-tirst ot January. A Mummers play, Wiierzel Flummery, and special music, followed hy dancing and retreslnnents in the gymnasium, were included in the eve- nings entertainment. With the second semester came plans for the play, the olympies and the junior- senior, under the leadership of the new set of otiicers with Douglass tlrr as presi- dent. What Would 0 G67'l,tIl3'7TLfl'I'l DO? by Gilbert Dayle, was selected, and with lfllsie Neely and Vernon Conover playing the leading parts, was presented on the tweltth ot' May, The nineteenth of May saw the olympics with the class of 23 led hy Fred tlardner, chairman ot' the olympics committee. Who won? The juniors! A second junior-senior to settle all possihle disagreements between the two classes, eame as a climax to the activities of the year. The party was held in the evening ot' May twenty-ninth, when, after a program of stunts and music in the high school auditorium, the merrymaliers adjourned to Antelope l'arli hall for dancing.

The eom- pleteness of the assembly was due to the willing leadership of the elass sponsors, Bliss Inez t'ook and Miss tilive liehmer. Another page was added to a brilliant reeord when the ehrnnpion team of last year, Sterling Hatfield, tltho DeYilbiss, and John Skiles retained the Magee inter- elass debate 4-up by defeating the seniors. The question for debate was, Resolved: That the movement of organized labor for the elosed shop should rec-eive the sup- port of publie opinion. The team in a large measure owes its sum-eess to Wendell lierge who gave his time to eoaehing the trio. The boys basketball team surprised everyone when it won the st-hool eham- pionship, by defeating the juniors in a lrird-fought game. Sophomores likewise eaptured the baseball ehampionship by drfeating the juniors. Apparently the see- ond year boys have a troublesome habit of earrying off vietor's laurels, a habit whit-h is not entirely limited to the boy e, sinee the girls won the som-eer ehampion- ship.

One sees that this team is an example of the modern belief that girls are able to speak as well as boys. ln sports of every type the boys participated. Clark Mc-Bride won special laurels at the swimming meet in Omaha. In girls athletics the youngest class was well represented, also. Iflere and there one could see their players proudly wear- ing their colors. They were especially suceessful in hockey, and captured the championship. If an investigator should care to take the trouble, just let him peek in at any ot' the meetings of the Forum, tlrpheous, or any of the elubs that admit freshe men, and there he will perceive various members of this ambitious tribe. Yes, they belong there, even, though they do look scared as they listen to the words of wis- dom falling from the lips of their superiors.

The building of the 1922 volume ot THE LINKS was not done by any one group or organization, but rather by the combined etforts ot several groups. The art department has done more toward its completion than any other one organization outside the regular staff. Designs tor the book have been scheduled as class prob- lems, and many students under the guidance of Miss Helen Wilson and Miss Gladys Dana, instruc- tors, have devoted a great deal of time outside ot' school to making these designs. The extent and quality of the work submitted have excelled that of all former years, and the matter of selection in every case was one of real difficulty. Every design in the 1922 annual is an achievement of the department. ln addition to the art editor, Paul Jacobs, the following students have designed work which appears in this book: India Clark, Pauline Campbell, Helen McMunn, Peter Coniglio, Esther Bohlman, Henry Clark, Lois M etcalf, Law- rence McCormick. Miss Helen Wilson, head of the art depart- ment, has never been too busy to offer suggestion in regard to troublesome matters, and her unfail- ing good judgment has been a splendid guide on all occasions. Paul Jacobs made the cover design which won first place in the contest. As winner of the contest, he received a complimentary copy of the book. A number of the designs submitted were exhibited in the bulletin board at a later MISS HELEN WILSON date and attracted considerable interest and admiration from all sources. THE LINKS is also indebted to the following persons: Helen Miller, Uarroll Black, Katherine McWhinnie, John Allison, John Reasoner, Grace Loveland, Alvin Strause, Blanche liarabee, Marjorie Stuff, Ernest Bruce The typewriting classes of Miss Blodwen Beynon and Miss Effie Noll, have been most generous in giving their time to typing THE LINKS material. lndivid- ual students who have helped with this work are Helen Sells, Margaret Uter, Edna King, Frances llindbald, Bernice Hansen, Harold Smith, Mildred Schneider, Willa Aura, Carwin Elwick, ,Bertha Craig, Ruth Zimmerman, Floyd Mosher, Marie Bick- ert, Lulu Imlay, Helen Luc-ke, Ivamai Brooke, Ruth Mclntyre, Ruth Baker, Burt.

Mr. Frank Kane's salesmanship classes each entered a contest with THE LINKS staff in the subscription campaign. THE LINKS staff won the contest this year with a total ot' 468 books to its credit. Joy Mickel, freshman editor, won the individual prize, a paper bound book, by obtaining 61 subscriptions.

Efforts were made to plaee these hooks in the ha11ds of each new student in order to en- able him to become really acquainted with the school. l or educational purposes copies of the Advocate, the Links and the Red and Black Directory were placed in the eighth grade of every elementary school in Lincoln this year, by action of the council. Tln-ough these publications, the eighth grade pupils may learn something of what comprises high school life. Perhaps the greatest problem undertaken during the first semester was the handling of the matinee parties. 'At the second party, demonstrations of the cor- rect form of dancing were given because it was felt that many students had no opportunity to know what was considered good form in social circles. During the first semester these parties were given frequently, but at the beginning of the sec- ond semester the faculty and student council recommended that the problem be thoroughly studied before any more parties were attempted. It was made plain that these might be resumed whenever the student council or any other group of stu- dents in school found a suitable plan by which they could be made a success. As this volume goes to press a bulletin announces that a solution of the prob- lem seems to be in sight. In a joint session of the student council, the faculty committee on student affairs and a representative committee of students appointed by the presidents of the three upper classes, the chief sources of difficulty were carefully considered and a committee consisting of Emmett Junge, chairman, Ruth Sunderland, Frederick Teal, Paul liessenhop and Pauline Tait, assumed the respon- sibility of giving the matinee party another trial under new regulations. To return to history-on school color day, the student council followed the precedent of years and provided colors and an assembly for the school. Red and Black arm bands, caps and streamers were sold through home room representa- tives to the student body by the council. Tl1e assembly which was planned by the council members aroused the enthusiasm and spirit of every member of the school. To celebrate the winning of the Lincoln-Cambridge football game, the coun- cil planned a rally. They collected a quantity of old boxes and piled them on the field north of the high school building, and after trouncing Cambridge, they had a bonfire. The cheering and enthusiasm showed by the student body that night were characteristic of liincoln high school. With the beginning of the work of the council for the second semester, a ques- tionnaire was sent out to all the home rooms, asking that students give suggestions for work which the council could do. Some of the responses called for the repair- ing of the drinking fountains, giving of motion pictures, providing for a shelter over the wheel-racks and forming a radio elub. The fountains were fixed at once and the other matters taken up for consideration. At a meeting called by the viee-president, forty-three boys who were inter- ested in radio reported that they favored a club which has since been organized. The members of the club plan to instruct students who wish to learn about the recent achievements of the scientific world. Later a mechanic arts club was or- ganized for all boys who are not interested in writing, debate, fine arts, or radio, but who like to work with their hands. They will study woodwork. Plans for a freshman hoys club, to be conducted in somewhat the same way as the fresh- man girls club, were completed too late for this year, but will be put into opera tion on the opening of school in the fall. During the first semester of the year, sign posts were made to be placed in halls near where classes are in progress during the lunch hour. Few complaints have come in about the students going into the restricted areas during this second semester. Uouncil members also watch the lunch lines in the cafeteria, to do away -'T 3+ with the breaking into the line. liittle trouble has been caused since these stu- dents have been at work. When the over-crowded condition of the building made the carnival impos- sible, the council at once cast about fora substitute for the popular event. bn- on second thought, however, it was decided that the school could well get along without a carnival substitute this year, as the drain on the finances ot' the students would be too great and events on the school calendar were already treading upon each other's heels. tln the night before the basketball tournament, the council provided an enter- tainment in the high school auditorium for the visiting teams. Letters were sent to the coaches of every team announcing it and inviting the teams to attend, but comparatively few boys were there. The council hopes to make more of this af- fair next year. Plans for buying a portable projection machine which will show lantern slides and post card pictures on a screen have been made by the council. It is be- lieved that this machine will be a valuable asset to science and other classes in illustrating certain subjects. lt may easily be moved to any room and there will be no trouble in setting it up anywhere in the building. These have been the most important accomplishments of the student council this year. It is hoped that with the cooperation and support of the student body the councils in the years to come may continue to take a definite part in maintain- ing the reputation of Lincoln high school as a self-governing school. Hume illnnm Bvprezentatiura Democracy is a word of but nine letters, yet it represents a power which ex- tends from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the St. Lawrence to the Rio Grande. Nor is this the limit of its power, for great efforts are continually being made to- wards belting the entire earth with its noble principles and high ideals. The spirit of majority rule has permeated the very atmosphere of Lincoln high school, and no small success has attended the efforts made in the formation of the present government. The responsibility of the management of the school has been given to the students themselves instead of to principals or teachers. Therefore, in aiming toward the promotion of a democratic government. in the high school, a body of students has been organized known as home room representatives. Each member of the body represents, to the best of his ability, the constituency of his home room. The senior home rooms have the privilege of electing three representatives, each of the others elect 0116. The election of these students is a matter of impoi t- ance, for the qualifications of a good representative have to be carefully considered. ln order that the students may choose wisely a home room representative they usually discuss just what the necessary qualifications are, for example, he must be capable and reliable, and, above all, be willing to work for the improvement of the school. This group of students, elected by their respective home rooms, is the connect- ing link between the student council and the student body. As they are students themselves, they know better than the teachers could the needs and wants of the student body. Since they are constantly surrounded by students of the school they have the opportunity of hearing the complaints and suggestions for improvement. The duties of the home room representatives are numerous.

Amrriran :Svpvnh meek 'tMend your speech a little lest it mar your t'ortune.', That's what John Shakespeare's son, William, said three hundred years ago, and liincoln high nobly endeavored to live up to it. at least one week in the year. Solecisms, barbarisms and improprieties were tucked away in dark corners till the week was over and woe unto the person who dared flaunt them in the halls of Iiincoln high. Even reckless freshmen set guards on their ever-moving tongues, and seniors occasion- ally caught themselves in errors. Show your patriotism by improving your speech was the motto ot' the occasion, and, although the observance was not so spectacular as in previous years, everyone proved himself in earnest. In previous years Lincoln high school had observed American speech week by staging pageants and plays for the benefit ot' the student body. This year it seemed best to break away from this form of observance, and venture into other fields ot' endeavor. Accordingly, ltlnglish classes became the scenes of great activity along lines of better speech. Debates on the question, Is good English a part of patriot- ism? brought forth enthusiastic orators to defend their side of the question. In some classes spell-downs and pronunciation drills held first place in the programs for the week. tfommon errors in speech were objects ot' attack in other classes. In addition to these, printed posters met the gaze at every turn. Although there is a prevalent notion on the other side of the water that Americans cawn't speak the language , Lincoln high demonstrated the fact that American speech is, though dififerent in some ways from British speech, as pure and classic a language as that ot' our English neighbors. Srhnnl Glnlnr Bag A dignified person might have been shocked by the riot of red and black, the ear-splitting yells and school songs, that pervaded Lincoln high on color day, but all such persons were conspicuous by their absence. liven the newest freshmen had had the foresight to purchase from the student council arm bands, caps or streamers. ln the assembly, which was put on by the student council, the hubbub was at its height. There was a gasp of wonder and admiration when the decorations ar- ranged by tl1e student council were revealed. When the audience had-recovered its breath, ll. P. Shepherd introduced Fred Funke, who presided over the assembly. ' Two selections were given by the boys glee club, after which the saxophone quintet played Wang Wang Blues. This quintet was composed of Louis Frost, Kenneth Nelson, Clark Richardson, Peter ffouiglio and Joe Brown. Peter Coniglio then played a solo which so delighted his audience that they recalled him. On his return he brought the other four and the quintet played again. W. Harold Browne, assistant coach, then spoke telling ot the record of the second team which had not lost a game at that time., A good second team is as necessary as a good first team, he said. The second team comes out every day and lets the first team beat them so the first team will get the habit. Vntil color day, the Uspirit of Lincoln high school had sometimes seemed an abstract quantity, about which one heard all manner of fine-sounding, but indeti- nite things, and which frequently brought forth bursts of eloquence from speak- ers in assembly. It took the ingenuity of the student council to embody this sub- -77- tlc spirit into real, tangible persons. The spirit itself proved to be a daring, fiash- ing, graceful sprite, represented by Maxine Ziemer in an interpretative dance. Then came the fine, triumphant spirit of football, represented by a group of huskies who afterward returned bandaged, distressed, defeated, thus showing the spirit of the opponents. The Writers club, the Orpheons, the Mummers and the Forum put in their appearance in the persons of members who indicated by their dress and ac- tions what organization they were representing. After a round of school yells under the leadership of Emmett Junge and Paul liessenhop, the students, full of school spirit and excitement, adjourned to their re- spective classes. The colors of liincoln high school were everywhere in evidence, and pupils and teachers alike entered into the spirit of the occasion, The greatest event of the day was the Kearney game and the parade which preceded it. lt was then that the peace-loving citizens of the capitol city learned that Lincoln high was on the map. Between the halves of the game there was 51 grand snake dance in which everyone joined. To complete the happiness of the red and black fans the liincoln team won. the game 82-0. lt was a memorable day for many reasons, but in looking back one recollects chietiy how the school rallied with one accord around the colors of which all have so much cause to be proud, the Red and Black of Lincoln high school. Svvninr Glnlnr Bag Silence throughout the auditorium! Then the refrain of Tw'e'rLty-two was heard. All eyes were turned toward the audit.orium doors. The class of '22 filed, two by two, down the main aisles. The girls wore white caps bearing mystic sym- bols in the shape of crescent moons, circles and diamonds. Like the knights of the Middle Ages, the boys were decked in nodding black and white plumes. All car-- ried white balloons, chosen as decorations because they add so much to the dignity of a senior's appearance. The class then sang Twenty-two and a classic song, granting an excused absence to all juniors, when the roll is called up yonder. Mr. Shepherd spoke on the significance of senior color day, complimenting the class on the number of beautiful girls and good-looking boys it contained. Clyde H'ard'in, class president, said a few words in behalf of the class. The curtain then rose, revealing the Sinfunny orchestra seated before a background of trees and tiowers. The players were all adorned with black and white, and even their instruments were bedecked with bobbing white balloons. The moaning of the saxophones, the growling of the slide trombones, the wailing of the violins, the tinkle of the banjos, the throbbing of the drum, and the insist- ent tones of the piano, fell on the sympathetic ears of the audience. The drummer, almost hidden from view behind his base drum, furnished proof positive that size has nothing to do with skill in. playing the drum. In spite of its facetious title, thc orchestra played in good earnest and earned the applause it received. As an encore, they played Twenty-two. The orchestra was composed of Louis Frost, saxophoneg Kenneth Kolb, saxophoneg Charles Kunkler, violin, Bernard Warren, drums: Robert Graham, trombone, Theodore Tompkins, banjo, Permelia Page and Marie Kunkler, piano. Koby Sirinsky played a violin solo, the Hungarian dance No. 5, and was called back for an encore. The senior girls sextette, composed of Maurine Champ, Jeannette Olson, Olive Kier, Martha Fiegenbaum, Esther lieming, and Evelyn Newton gave a selection, T0 a Wlld Rose: and as an encore sang Twenty-5100. 1781. v- When next the curtain rose, a dining-room, with dinner prepared for two, was revealed to the audience. Mr. lispenhayne was selecting the proper silverware from the array by l1is plate with this version of the familiar count-out: UECIIY, meeny, miny, mo, llilda's talking to her beau, If we scold her she will go, Helly, meeny, miny, mof' Hilda, it developed, was the maid, and her bean was a terrible Swedel' who very much disturbed the well-ordered routine of the Espenhayne family. 'lt also developed that Mr. Espenhayne was thinking of building in a fashionable part of town if he could get a contract with Lindquist, the millionaire contractor. The sur- prise came when Lindquist proved to be none other than lIilda's beau, the ter- rible Swedef' The cast follows: Mrs. Espenhayne ..... ............. I ellythe Bailey Mr. Espenhayne ....... ..... R alph Mctloogan Hilda, the maid ................... ............ ............... l 7 oris Trott Classes were resumed and the day sped on. Many were the comments of ad- miration when the playful seniors passed in review. Now and then a small ex- plosion was heard, and one knew that another balloon had gone the way of all balloons, for what mischievous soul eould resist the temptation of pinching' one, just to hear the delightful pop and see the look of surprise when the owner sud- denly found himself holding a shred of limp rubber! The joys of the day were eompleted by the banquet in the evening. Clyde Hardin was toastmaster. Pauline 'Tait supplied the Four Coaches of the 1.922 Un- limited. Albion Speier hitched it to a Locomotive, proving that the class had started out with the intention of getting somewhere. Hugh Cox made the Sparks tiy. Helen Oberlies' subject was Black and Whitey Mr. C. L. Culler provided a very necessary article, namely, the Brakes. Koby Sirinsky, whose playing eharms the very trees and stones, as all who have heard him can testify, played a violin solo with sueh excellent technique and exquisite feeling that he was obliged to respond to an encore. Mr. H. P. Shepherd and Mr. M. U. Letter spoke, informally, then all the guests adjourned to the gym- nasium, where everyone danced and made merry, quite forgetting the dignity which tradition says seniors should assume. Even senior eolor days must have an end, much as the participants therein would wish them to continue for hours longer, and the color day of the class of '22 was no exeeption to the harsh and un- feeling rule. The class, however, will long remember what might be known as a red letter day-or shall we say a black and white letter day?-in the annals of the class of '22. flltlnthrr Elttfl Baughtvr ight A spirit of good will and fellowship pervaded the halls of Lincoln high on mother and daughter night. Everywhere one saw proud and happy mothers and equally proud and happy daughters. In fact, everyone was either a mother or a daughter, and some were both. If there was anyone out of tune with the spirit of the occasion, she failed to show it. The enthusiastic reception of the entertain-- ment in the auditorium was a keynote to the spirit of the entire evening. Iris Ludden, president of the Student club, read the Mayor's proclamation setting aside the week of November 27 to December 3 as mother and daughter week. Une of the greatest of all songs, Mother Maelwee, was sung by the girls -79- V Y glee elub.' 'l'hat it was well-ehosen for the oeeasion was showed by the applause it rec-eived, and at last the girls respondzd to the eneore with Bamboo Baby. In her speeeh on a girl's relationship to her mother, Mrs. A. tl. Warner said, Ml ean speak from both sides, for I have been both daughter and mother. ln speaking of obedienee, she said, Nothing so binds a ehild to a parent as to realize in later years that she was eompelled to do as a ehild what she would wish, upon reaehing maturity, that she had been eompelled to do. Mrs. liate liinyon explained girls problems in high sehool. Attendance, dress, and information slips were the main points emphasized. She asserted that it iv more to the diseredit of a girl to reeeive notiees saying that she is not doing work up to her ability than it is to reeeive notiees of failure. Mrs. H. H. Harmon spoke on a girl's relationship to her ehureh. She praised the serviee and demoeraey ni the sehools. HA girl has so many good times over the week-end that by Sunday she is all tired out. Save some of your energy for Sunday, she urged. Doro- thea Crosby gave two readings, Scene in ct Railroad Station in England and The Owl's Courtship. l-Exhibitions of the method of teaehing swimming, displays of sewing and ap- plied design work and refreshments oeeupied the rest of the evening. Altogether the event was a great sueeess and will not be forgotten by the mothers and daugh- ters who attended. The mother and daughter night will probably beeome an annual affair in l.in- eoln high sehool. Ilinthrr anim Sinn ight The first father and son eelebration in the history of liineoln high sehool was held on the evening of November 8, with Adrian Newens of the Nebraska Sehool of Musie, reputed to be the best boys speaker in liinc-oln,'l giving the principal address. The half hour preeeding the regular program was spent by the fathers and sons in an inspet-tion of the high sehool building. By the sweat of a man's brow shall he eat bread, was the theme taken by Mr. Newens, who gave an extremely interesting talk to the boys and their fath- ers. Ile showed how Paderewski, the pianist, and Steeker, the Nebraska wrestler, were ealled 'glut-ky by people who did not think of the long hours of praetiee in playing seales that had developed the talent of the musieian, and the tiresome exer- eise and training that had made the grappler a ehampion. He warned the boys not. to be afraid of being laughed at, or ealled fools, explaining that Columbus, Wash- ington and many other great men had been ridieuled, and added, Wouldn't you like to be a fool like them? In eonelusion, Mr. Newens warned his audientfe against thinking that everything worth while in the world had been aeeomplished and that there was nothing important left for this generation to do. George W. Vtloods, president of the board of education, and lil. ll. Letter, super- intendent of sehools, eaeh gave a short talk. Most of the men on the faculty were seated on the stage and eaeh responded with a few words. H. P. Shepherd explained that the rest were too timid to appear. Fred l unke, president of the student eouneil, spoke briefly and stated that, although the fathers might doubt it, the boys who attended the high sehool had a better time than the boys of a generation ago. The boys glee elub gave two seleetions composed by Ed Walt, one of the fathers, My Troubactonr and Lassie O' Mine. They also sang Heart of Dixie- land, by Sherwood. .-80, The next feature of the program was presented in the gymnasium. W. ll. Browne showed a mcdel gymnasium class going through its work of marching, tumbling and apparatus drill. The school swimming team and some other swim- mers gave demonstrations in the pool, the team giving an exhibition relay race. After the aquatic exhibition the fathers and sons went to the cafeteria 'lor rc- freshments, where each was served with one or more pieces of pie and a cup of coffee. The evening entertainment was concluded by a visit to the Hi Y. There the fathers and sons inspected the game rooms, the reading room and the cafeteria. Several short talks were given, including one by t'. l. Vessey, the secretary, on the purpose of the Hi Y. iiirriurea The lecturers who have addressed assembly audiences, managed to combine in- formation and entertainment i11 a singularly skillful way. Dr. A. L. Bixby, columnist of the Nebraska State Journal, who has edited Daily Drift for thirty years, spoke to the assembly on humor. lt can be truthful- ly said that Dr. Bixby was full of his subject. He kept the audience in an uproar most of the time and also succeeded in leaving some very practical information with them. Dr. Bixby has the unusual distinction of having written humor for one paper, the Nebraska State Journal, for a greater number of years than any other man in the lfnited States. The student body profited by the practical ideas he had gleaned from his years of experience and his own. common sense. Dr. B. F. Bailey spoke on Lincoln's birthday. This theme carries an appeal to every American and needed no embellishments or special bursts of oratory to make it interesting to the audience, but Dr. Bailey treated the subject in such a masterly manner that he renewed the pride the high school boys and girls naturally have in being residents of the memorial city-Lincoln, Nebraska, and inspired them to wa11t to keep this city a fit model for what the country should naturally expect with the ideals of Abraham Lincoln held constantly before it. M. M. Fogg, professor of journalism in the University of Nebraska, spoke in the assembly to launch the campaign for Advocate subscriptions. He gave liin- coln high school the greatest praise, saying that it is an innovator. lle praised the Aclvocate and advised us to support it. He told how much a course in journalism helps in an education, and kept the students in a gale of laughter by describing blunders made by students of journalism. Professor l+'ogg gave so many practical suggestions, mixed with his humor, that all were very greatly benefited. The school is deeply indebted to Professor Fogg for his splendid talk. A very exceptional lecture was given by Dr. H. I . Uope. lle said that one of the lessons of his youth was that there are only two infallible things in the world, a Webster's dictionary and a country school ma ,amg so he bought the one and married the other. However, he added that hc thcught hc was far enough from home to say that he had learned that neither is absolutely infallible. He said that the old-fashioned school was regarded as a place for sopping up a maximum amount of information and keeping it in a comparatively fresh state until exam- ination. The modern school, however, is quite different. There is no better place in which to cultivate the fine art of living with other people. He declared that the right kind of religious life did not demand that one make oneself as miserable as possible in this life in order to be happy in the next, but announced this creed as a good one to follow: I am here, in these years, to do all that l can for myself in order that l may do all that l can for others. --g1- I i -821 Wiii WUI.

It is a good thing that the auditorium is a well-built, solid strueture. Other- wise one would expeet to see the roof go sailing to the skies and the walls fall in on all sides, they are so shaken by the vigor of mueh shouting. llowever, the eheer leaders are not at all satisfied and urge the brazen-lunged shouters to yell louder. What means all this tumult? Was it a t'reshman who asked? This is one of Lint-oln high's many athletie assemblies. ll. U. Ferguson leads the singing of the beloved liineoln songs. llis very ap- pearanee on the stage is greeted with applause. The students are filled with en- thusiasm. They all join in Fight, Fight for Lincoln. 'l'he band tries to drown them out, they try to drown out the band. Neither one seems to sueeeed very well judging by the quantity of sound still audible. Then the speeehes. Mr. Shepherd speaks, regarding his tloek with a benignant smile. 'There are other speakers too. Foam-h Mead and Mr. lietler sometimes speak, and on one oeeasion Dr. l red Luehring of the state university talked, and at another time Coaeh Fred Dawson, also from the university, gave a speeeh on the oeeasion of launehing tho sale of season tiekets for spring athleties. Oeeasionally the heroes themselves talk and are enthusiastically applauded. Some of them shuflie bashtully to the stand, utter a few words, and retreat preeipitantly to their seats, others stand up, swell their 4-hests, and at-quit themselves nobly. They are all eheered with equal vigor, for everyone, from the seasoned seniore in the front row to the timid freshies pert-hed on the highest seats of the bah-ony, is full of enthusiasm and pride for the heroes who distinguish themselves in the sports for the honor of the sehool. Gfhriztman Awaemhlg The Spirit of Christmas walked the halls of Lincoln high sehool and laid its quieting finger on the vast audience in the auditorium. A reverent hush fell over everyone, as the thirty-three eandles gleamed their message and the star above the stage told of another star whieh shone over a manger in Bethlehem many years ago. Shimmering tinsel bedeeked the evergreens at ear-h end ofthe stage and holly -93- 17-uf wreaths added to the festive appearance of the auditorium. The beautiful Adestc Fzdehs, very softly played by the orchestra, called to every heart a thrill of Christ- mas joy. The audience joined in singing the old, old words: Oh come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, Uh come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem. The chorus sang two good old English carols, Oh Little Town of Bethlehem and Goocl King Wenceslas, Francis Diers and H. 0. Ferguson singing the solo parts in the latter. A quartet composed of Miss Vera Upton, Mrs. Sc-hlegel, l rancis Diers and ll. 0. Ferguson, sang Brightest and Best and the chorus sang two more well loved songs, The First Noel and We Three Kings of Orient Are, with Paul Reed, Lloyd Robinson, and Frederick Teal as the three kings. The quartet sang The Birthday of the Kring. Dr. Paul Aitken of St. Paul church spoke brietiy on The Christmas Spirit. Christmas is a time of new beginning when we lay aside the old year and prepare our hearts in peace, happiness, and good will for the new, he said. He pointed out Dickens' Christmas Carol as an avenue to a true appreciation of the Christmas spirit. This year, when America has taken her place among the nations to bring about world peace the familiar words, fl'eace on earth, good will toward men' take a new significance, he added. Before the burst of applause which followed this speech, there was an instant of silence, the silence that comes with a new realiza- tion of old truths. This spirit of reverence had not subsided when the throbbing notes of the Mother's Lullaby were sung by Mrs. Schlegel. At last the mellow strains of Stille Nacht fell upon the ears of the assembly, and Lincoln high school joined in the world old lullaby softly, as one who has seen a vision. Bramatim Aauvmhliva Mr. Shakespeare was probably thinking of Hamlet when he wrote Hthe play's the thing, but he might have been predicting the assemblies of Lincoln high school for the year 1921-22, for the play has been the thing on numerous occasions. The seniors lived up to their reputation as leaders, and headed the series of one-act comedies with Where But in Arnerlca presented on their color day. The amusing situations of this play rose out of the fact that the servant girl's bean turned out to be a millionaire contractor with whom her employers were seeking a contract. This was followed by The Florist's ,Shop which was presented by the Mummers to advertise their annual play, Tillee. An attractively dressed stage, a tender-hearted oitiice girl and a restored romance were the features of the play. Lima Beans, a story of a family quarrel over the daily menu and the subsequent reconciliations, was given by the winter senicrs. The Mummers gave Dame Greel O' Portland Town on Washington's birth- day. The play was appropriate for the occasion and was presented with good el'- fect. A rare pleasure was the one-act play, Uncle Jiinrny, presented in assembly by the play-coaching class of the University School of Music. It was the pathetic story ot' an old man who had never left his home town and who had always wanted to see a palm tree. At last the opportunity came for him to take a trip in the place of a young man who was anxious to avoid the journey. Preparations were made hurriedly and l'ncle Jimmy departed. ln a short time he returned without a word of explanation and went back to his job of chopping wood. He couldn't bring 414, himself to leave. A touch of humor was lent the play by several character parts. The cast follows: Jimmy .,....,.. ...... ............

To launch the campaign for Advocate subscriptions the Beckwith Violin Girls played. The first number consisted of three selections by the string quartet. The first of these was Waters of Minnetonka, a plaintive Indian melody by Thur- low Lieurance, a Lincoln eomposer. They next played Lucia, an air adapted from Donizetti's opera. This was followed hy Humoresque, with its familiar cadence like laughter with the catch of a sob in it. An old fashioned quadrille, in which the girls imitated to perfection the country fiddlers, was received with much laughter by the students. Miss Beckwith then gave a group of readings, after which the company appeared in old fashioned costumes with a program of favor- ite tunes. The last number was a group of popular songs. Miss Marjorie Shanafelt with her harp beguiled a later assembly. Her first number was the rippling Cascade. She then played the slow and reverent Prayer, and finally the Song Without Words. On the same program Mrs, Iiucile Foster gave a group of readings. The program given by the orchestra was opened by the Lucky Strike March. Vernon Fonover played the alluring song of Delilah, My Heart At Thy Sweet Voice, from Saint-Saens' opera, Samson Et Delilah. Two Jewish dances followed. Slumber Sweetly and the Mignonette Overture concluded the program. Not to he outdone by the orchestra, the band also presented a program in as- sembly, After Charles B. Righter had explained the organization of the hand, the music started with a medley of national airs. The Cradle Song was next played by Vernon Conover. flrlo Gaines played The Evening Star from Tannhauser, a melody full of sadness, ranging from deep dread to exalted resignation. In The Depths, played by Peter Uoniglio, was received with such applause that the hand began its next number, The Lustspiel Overture, before the clapping ceased. The class of 1925 made its debut by presenting a musical assembly. A flute duet, The Herd G'1.Tl,8 Dream, played by Richard Jones and Sterling Ilatfield, was the first number. The sophomore girls glee club sang Lovels Lullaby, by Stetson, and School Days, by lialni-Parks. Two dances, The Clown Dance and the Christmas Trees, were presented by sophomore girls, and a number by the sophomore orchestra concluded the program. The justly celebrated University School of Music quartet presented The Monte- banks, a song cycle by East Hope Marten. They portrayed well the spirit of the carefree, happy-go-lucky band of strolling players, the light-hearted Nell, the dreamy Meg, the romantic Romeo, and the quack doctor, Tom Shilling. The school found them sympathetic players and showed its appreciation of their personalities as well as of their highly artistic entertainment with frequent bursts of applause. ,851 yr 'I' The members of the quartet are Mrs. Lillian Polley, soprano, Madam Gilderoy Scott, contraltog llomer K. Compton, tenor, and lfl. 0. Ferguson, bass. An artist of national fame, Madame Sturkow-Ryder, presented perhaps the most unusual concert ever given before an assembly audience. She gave a short talk on the history of music and before each number she explained its connection with the development of music. lfler first number was the Tdnnhauser march. This was followed by a minuet. A Gluck gavotte followed. .Before her next num- ber, a tarantelle, she told of the legend about this dance which came into Europe through Spain and her South American colonies. The natives cured those bitten by a tarantula by dancing them up and down to fast music until perspiration had taken the poison from their systems. However, she warned the school that histori- ans do not accept this theory. The last number on the program was Chopin's Minute Waltz. She explained that this was inspired by the composer's watching a poodle dog chase its tail. As an encore she played Narcissus. lt. is with a. thrill that the school welcomes back the alumni when they return to present an assembly after advanced study has polished their art. This year Ruth Lindsay, Joe Zimmerman, Luther Andrews, Frances Carruthers and Miriam Frosh presented a musical program. Ruth Lindsay, 'lT, gave several piano selections and Joe Zimmerman, '20, sang three baritone solos. Luther Andrews, '17, played two French horn solos and Frances Carrothers, '21, gave two musical readings. Miriam l rosh, ,l7, appeared in colonial costume and played a group of violin solos. ln the assembly given to advertise the senior play M rs. Marie Movius Becker and Miss liouise t'ook shared honors. Mrs. Becker sang The Safphlc Ode and Wefrcf I a Gardener. As an encore, she added Smtlin' Through. Miss Cook read Their Honeymoon, an amusing tale of the adventures of a young couple separated on their wedding trip, and as an encore a piece describing a nervous lady on a train. Ctrnrral Aanrmhliw The iirst assembly of the year was an interesting occasion from almost every point of view. The freshmen were interested, among other things, in getting good seats. The school at large was interested in making a good impression on the new principal, and also in seeing how he really looked when he was not behind the of- tice ledge. Mr. Shepherd, naturally, was interested in looking over the school he had come to guide, and it. may well be believed that he was interested in forming a foundation for friendship with each girl and boy in the auditorium. M. C. lietier, superintendent ot schools, presided and introduced H. O. Fergu- son to lead in the school group songs and incidentally to put the entire company in a happy frame of mind. Miss Miriam Little and Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Rightcr gave a musical number. Mr. Letler then formally introduced llomer l'. Shepherd to Lincoln high school as a man interested in the problems of the school, a friend of boys and girls, and a believer in setting high standards and reaching them. Mr. Shepherd addressed the assembly with The Purpose of Lincoln High School as his theme. From after commcnts one may judge that the school agreed with Mr. lielier that Lincoln had chosen its new principal wisely. The next assembly was held in the interests of the student council. VVith forty nominees on the stage and the last student council president, Wendell Berge, in the presiding o'titicer's chair, the seriousness of the coming election was impressed upon the minds ot the audience. Vilendell Berge opened the program with a talk on What is the Student Council? Katherine Brenke, '18, made the school glad that liincoln, Nebraska, was situated in America rather than in France and that it ...86-. had an opportunity to elect a student council, although Miss Brenke assured her audience that, were Lincoln high school girls and boys French, they would not care to participate in their own government. William .Bertwell explained the pure poses of the student council and its methods of operation. A musical program was given by the H. O. Ferguson Light Opera Company, the members of which are Exie Burgess, Francis Diers, Doris Thompson, Mar- garet Malowney and H. O. I erguson. In conclusion Wendell Berge introduced the nominees, giving the activities and particular interest of each one. A very entertaining assembly was presented by the boys gymnasium classes. The tirst number, a lively exhibit of concerted action, was a dumbell drill, The Jolly Coppersmith. The Awkward Squad in B Natural kept the audience in a state of uncontrollable laughter. The next number, an Indian club drill by Clark illld Goddard, showed a great deal of skill. Madam Knickle, champion tight rope walker, was foresighted enough to lower the rope to the tioor before performing. A tumbling act followed and it was difficult for the eye to follow the whirling, tiying figures. The next number, Friendly Enemies, was a pugilistif: encounter with sufficient reality about it to keep even the most blase screwed to a pitch of tense excitement and to cause several of the more timid to exclaim. The last number, a display on the parallel bars, made the audience hold its breath lest someone should fall. This assembly not only provided an entertaining and amuse ing program but also served to acquaint the student body with the work done by W. ll. Browne's boys gymnasium classes. The entire program was a splendid dem onstration of the work so etfectively accomplished in the boys physical training department. A Svrzainn nf Glnnrt 'tllear Ye! Hear Ye! lIear Ye! The court of injustice in the district of the Rock Island is now convened for the distribution of hot air. A pompous judge, a solemn bailiff, attorneys in frock coats, and a witness stand, combined to make the auditorium stage a. tit place for the dispensing of justice in a session of court. The audience was drafted into service and given the task of acting as the jury. When order was established, the judge, in the person of Fred Funke, gath- ered his robes about him and announced that the first spasm on the docket was the junior class vs. the Links. The attorneys took their places glaring malevo-A lently at one another. Douglass Orr attorne for the Jrosecution brought forth two witnesses to P3 7. y . . ' l 23 prove that The Links was a waste of tune, ink, paper and energy, and there- fore should not be published. llugh Cox, managing editor of the Links, was attorney for the defense. His impassioned and stirring appeal included the accusation that the prosecution was based on predatory power and poisoned politics. The witnesses for the defense were Doris Trott, Alice Dougan and Albion Speier, editor, associate editor and business manager for the annual. Their testi- mony was made more convincing by the introduction of exhibits in the persons of the editors of the various departments. Each one suggested his work by some symbol in his dress as well as through his testimony. Clever bits of side play and original lilies added much to the humor of the scene. It might have been the smock of the Links artist, or the enthusiasm of the photographer or the original parodies of the occasions editor but the evidence of ...8 7.. This eleyer little sketeh was written and presented by the Links staff. The the defense was so eonvineing that Albion Speier sold several copies of the Links to the proseeution before the ease finally rested with the jury. When the attorneys had ceased c-lashing wits in eross examination and had orated themselves out of breath, the judge gave instrum-tions to the jury, bring- ing out the serious side of the program and the real purpose of the assembly. The verdiet was to be interpreted by the sueeess of the sales rampaigng the numbei of subseriptions signified the dec-ision of the jury. east follows : The jury .,i.... Judge .....

Not even the leaves are stirring, while in the east, A pale gold glow foretells the rising ol' the sun. A rooster crows, and birds begin to waken. In the yellow glow of the rising sun, with the long shadows, The dew sparkling, and silver threads hung everywhere, The world seems more beautiful to me than e'er before.

CEz1lli Qlnrri As through the world, like famed Iliogeues I wandered searehing not for honest man, I-Int perfeet music- like to that alone Whieh I imagined few but angels sang, I ehaneed upon a shaded, sylvan glade Where silent streams and rippling brooklets flowed. And musing on a moss-grown bank I watehed The velvet twilight slowly, softly eome, When silv'ry shadows spread their silent wings 0'er all the weary, noisy, troubled world. Then elear upon the quiet evening air A startling note of mystie beauty rang. And as alert, I listened while the song For whim-h in vain in ev'ry elime I'd searehed Fell on my ear and filled the whisptring wood, The bell-like trills and gentle eadenees In lilting eehoes sweetly were resung. .-.fj1, As one small, silv'ry nightingale excelled With mystic music all the warbled songs Of other birds that chant, when even falls, A strange accompaniment, the sighing wind Played through the branches of the stately trees ltike hidden fingers on the golden strings ttf harps whose magic music brought to mind The music mythologic Orpheus played. Her voice alone is like the rippling brooks Which sing within the forests of the world, lfler notes alone the velvet twilights breathe, The silv'ry streams and shadows, echoings, The vesper chimes, the softest organ notes. And while she sings, enchanted forests rise Around her that her voiee creates, she needs No scenery her singing to adorn As doth that bird to which I one-time lent Deceived ears and a deceived soul. Dear, gentle-voiced singer dost thou know What hope thy songs rekindle in the hearts ttf weary, care-worn, saddened multitudes? What joy thy joy of singing gives to them? What peace and happiness, what love and light? What human sympathy renewed, increased? For thou to us art like returning spring NVith all its happiness and love and joy Yet all that we from grateful hearts can say Is that we love thee and thy wonder-voice. flilarie U. Mengcrs, '23. fllilvmnrien Memory is a very queer thing. 1 have seen a few things worth remembering in my life, and it seems that they ought to stand out in relief against the details of everyday experience, but now, if I shut my eyes, I can form no picture of them. I-int there are some pictures that return unbidden to my eyes over and over again. These are almost all of one home where I spent two-thirds of my life. I often awaken in the morning and expect to find myself in my old room. Then I can lie there, with my eyes shut, and see every detail of that place just as it was: my old red doll's trunk in the corner, the old washstand, the dresser, the couch by the window, the view out over the tops of the cherry-trees tthere is always some- thing disappointing about looking out of the first Hoor bedroom windows of the bungalows we have inhabited since theni and last but not least, the faded pink roses in the wall-paper. Then I open my eyes on the hideous paper of my present room and the window which commands a view of nothing but the back porch and garbage can of our next-door neighbor. Sometimes, when l hear the sparrows chirping in the e.aves of our close-in home, l think of the robins, and brown-thrashers, and wood-peckers, and wrens, and some- times tlickers that used to come from far and near to steal our cherries. There were cherries in our neighhor's yards, too, for the whole block had once been a cherry orchard, but the birds liked our yard the best for we never drove them off. I never could understand the smallness of the woman who would flap her apron at the th rasher, paying liberally for what he ate in the golden currency of song, when she 7932? knew that the end ofthe season would find, as it always did, large numbers of eher- ries left to shrivel on the trees for want of pit-kers. Spring brought a thrill then it has never brought sinee. Along in March, the red-brown bark of the eherry trees began to glisten with a luster I have never noticed on any other trees. And then, the thrill of the first eherry blossom l' The first robin was never anything like it. And after the first one, they appeared with the rapidity of popcorn popping. Then when the trees were all in full bloom it seemed like a real fairy-land. I remember lying in a hammock in the moonlight, with the snow-white branehes interlaeing overhead. But never in my life shall I feel again the exquisite joy that eame onee a year when I found the first eherry that was ripe enough to eat. Spring-time seems a travesty now. What does the first robin mean when we haven't any eherries for him fl I wouldn't want to go bac-k to the old home now, for the eherry trees have been eut down. It is no longer on the edge of town for the town has grown out past it. Some after-owner may even have re-papered my old room l But I still cherish mem- ories of my faded pink roses, and n1y 1-berry trees and the birds and the old playf mates, and the view of the fields. And when the spring eomes round I still feel a thrill though it is onl in rec-ollec-tion. . T y -llelen.

Uhr Sage Brush Gluuntrg ln the spring when old Hd Robinson and his foreman rode into Wry Grass, the total population turned out to do lid honor, for Ed was leaving the vountry. So the store keeper, and his wife and the station agent, who had no wife, eame out into the main street Cwhieh is that pieee of ground that lies between the store and the stationl and greeted Ed. lid nodded to the little group, and swung his lean six-foot frame off his horse, a little awkwardly beeause of the limitations of his new serge suit. The worst is over, drawled Ed and brushed some dust off his Montgomery W ard serge. That 's the last time I ever travel that fifteen miles, and if you notiee, I illllli weep1n.' You're leavin' fer good are you, lid? inquired the station agent. -934 I shore am, Ed declared. 1'm pullin' out and I ain't comin' back. Fer twenty years I've lived here and fought blizzards, and dry spells, and rustlers, and what not, and now 1'm going on a jamboree. No more cow raisin' and hay stackin' fer mine. I reckon, said the foreman this drawl was like Ed'sl, I'd better be fannin' back. I'll not make it now much ,fore midnight. Ed nodded. I reckon you had, he confirmed and he passed the foreman the reins of his horse, and untied the battered old travelling bag from the back of his saddle. MSO long, Ed bade him, laconically. Take care of the plaee. You'd better write once in a while-not that I'm particular about hearing from this foresaken country-but I reckon that I'd better keep in touch with you and see how the busi- ness is runnin.' The foreman shook hands with Ed, turned about and started home. When twenty feet separated Ed and his foreman, Ed suddenly called, Ray, take good care of Willie tVVillie was Ed's pet two-year old steerjg don't let nothin' happen to Teddy CEd's dogjg and, Ray, you see that them orphan chicks I got behind the stove in a box grow up all right. Shore I will, Ray assured him. Good luck to you, Ed. Then the fore- man riding, and leading the old gray cow pony, forlorn with his empty saddle, climbed the out trail, stood against the sky for a moment and there twisted off the trail for the hill country. Ed watched him go in silence. Then he turned, took off his low-crowned, broad-ln'immed Stetson hat, scratched his mop of thick white hair, and addressed the population of Wry Grass. Any man,'l Ed declared, who stays in this country when he can get out is either a fool or a cripple. .1t's all rocks and hills, and timber, and brush and in the winter about twenty feet of snow. Ed made a sweeping gesture that took in the little scrub town, the little scrub hills, the scrub cedars, the sage brush, the gray rocks and the grayer soil, then he spat in disgust. f'You're right, Ed,', the storemau told him. You're right. I'd get out my- self if I could. It 's a forsaken countryf' I always thought, his wife ventured, that the hills was right pretty. That country's different than thisf' She was thinking of the hills, where the ground was green with grass, where the parks were masses of colored wild tiowers, where the scrub cedars and the sage brush gave way to Hquakin' asp and pine, and where the creeks tumbled down clear and ice cold from a divide that rose up and stood on the edge of the world. May be, may be, mumbled Ed, but it 's rougher than it looks, and the snow gets powerful deep. lle picked up the battered bag. Is that Number 33's whistle? Ten minutes later the local snaked out of Wry Grass Valley and Ed, seated in the Pullman, assured himself that he was happy. That night Ed did not sleep well. A lower Pullman is difficult for a six footer, particularly one who is accustomed to a roomy bed, and who has slept much in the open. The next morning Ed invaded Denver. Ed knew Denver. He had been there before selling and buying cattle. Using his favorite hotel as his headquarters, he started in on his vacation. But there was something in Ed's cosmos that had the same effect upon his plans that grit has on a highly delicate scientific instrument. llis meals did not satisfy him, the theatres did not satisfy him, his sleep was unsettled. Ed tried the parks, but they left him with the feeling that he was only half satisfied. Everyone-'s air of indifference irritated him. The roar of the traf- -94- fie irritated him, the sight of the immaculate, pink-faeed, flabby men in the hotel lobby irritated him. For three months Ed fought his restlessness. It was a long tight, and a hard one. lid lost. It was fall. Number 3 twisted into VVry Grass and east out a single passenger. The storeman. dropped the Denver Post when old Ed Robinson stalked into the store and set his old battered traveling bag down. I want to leave this here bag, drawled Ed. l'll get. it first time l'm in on horsebaek. 1'm hittin' the trail for the home ranehf' The storeman stared. Speech was impossible. Ed strode to the door and turned for a moment. 'IThis is a rotten eountr-y, Ed seowled. Pears like you haven't had no rain all summer. Suppose it'll snow like everything this winter though. Same old st-rub eedars, and sagebrush. Forsaken holef, lloly smokef' the storeman gasped. I thought you wasn't never-Hey, wait a minute. You eanlt walk back to that raneh. It's fifteen miles. Why-. liut Ed was gone. The storeman stepped outside and watched him elimb the out trail. When Ed reached the top and stood against the sky just as Ray had done three months before, he stopped, took off his eoat and jerked off his collar. Then the storeman saw Ed turn off on the trail to the hill eountry-the hills where the ground is green with grass, where the parks are masses of eolored wild flowers, where the serub eedars and the sage brush give way to Hquakin' asp and pine, where the ereeks, elear, iee c-old, tumble down from a divide that rises up and stands on the edge of the world.

I found hi111 perehed on tl1e very top-111ost peak of the barn, i'llll'1JIIIg merrily, with head eoeked saueily very mueh to one side. Whenl approaehed the 1J21I'll, l1e regarded me with some- thing of alarm, i11 evident i11deeisio11 as to whether or not to Hee. Curiosity over- eame l1is IIIIIJIIISL' for liight, however, illlil he fixed his bright eyes 1113011 111e with all i11terest whieh almost amounted to inquisitiveness. Ile finally ehirped what I took to be a question as to 1ny identity, alld added that he didn't believe that he had had the pleasure of llly 21i'f1l121Illi2lllI'0. I admitted that I was afraid that he didnlt IIIIOXV 111e, and added that tl1is was our first year i11 our prese11t house, whieh might aeeount for it. After satisfying his evident curiosity on tl1is point, I waited fear- fully to see what would happe11. He became friendly at that, to my delight, 211111 began. a polite eonversation, earried 011 by 111ea11s of chirp-ings dllll. fiutterings, eked out by oeeasional snatebes of song which he seemed to have imperfectly I'GIIl9lll- bered, but perhaps that was 111erely an affeetation of his, in eonversation. As I interpreted his opening' remark, it was so111ewl1at to tl1e effeet that he was glad to he bark, a11d that liineoln looked as good as ever tl1is year. I eonfessed that, this being t11e first spring I had witnessed in this part of tl1e eountry,I did not k11ow whether spring were running true to f0I'IIl or not. Think- ing to earry on the i'0l1VQl'Sii,i1I0I1 thus begun, I asked l1i111 if Illillly of his frie11ds l1ad left the south yet. lle regarded 111e witl1 a little surprise, as if he had COIISIQICIPCI the eonversation at an end, but after a ti111e, having regarded 1116 fixedly, during whieh ti111e I returned the survey with a11 interest. as deep as his 0w11, he remarked: Well, you see our lease on the apartment i11 which we were living expired the last of lf'ehruary, so we left early. I haven't seen 111any of them up here as yet, b11t -gg- doubtless tl1ey are on their way by this time. All this was delivered with eager ehirps and twitters, a little diffieult to understand at first. I was elated by his willingness for further eonversation, and so asked him if he had found a suitable site for a new home this year. I added invitingly that there were some tine old trees in our own yard, and mentioned, easually, the faet that we often had bread left over, after a new baking, and that we had the habit of seattering erusts in the baek yard for the birds. Ile seemed mueh impressed by this latter faet, and remarked that although he didnlt, of eourse, have the tinal deeision of the matter, that he should eertainly tell Miranda, evidently his better half, to look around in this neighborhood. There was also the zulvantage of be- ing near the park, he mused, and that would eertainly be a great fat-tor in ehoos- ing their new home. Another matter oeeurring to him, he asked me if there were any eats in the neighborhood. Fortunately there are none, so that I might truthfully say that they would not be likely to be annoyed by those pests. As proof, I pointed out the surly Airdale who lives an-ross the street, and mentioned the half-dozen other dogs who live around us. lIe said with a relieved air that he shouldn't think the neigh- borhood would be very healthful for eats. I agreed with him, and added that on that aeeount I should think it would be a very healthful one for robins. Ile seemed eonvineed that this loeation would be ideal in many ways, but told me seriously that Miranda might not like the idea of living on the south side, as she had been brought up in the north end of town. Property on the north side was dreadfully dear this spring, he said, and if Miranda eould be eonvineed that they eould not afford a home there, he might be able to induee her to look around in this part of town. They were living, temporarily, on this side, he ex- plained, but Miranda objeeted to the vieinity on aeeount of its being unfamiliar. He confessed that he had a preferenee for the south side, as the want-ads seemed to show a great many bargains here. Ile sat and thought for a while in silenee, and then another question arose in his mind, and he asked me anxiously if I thought that the neighbors would ob- jeet to their praetieing early in the morning, as that was the time when they pre- ferred to do their voealizing. I hastily assured him that I felt sure that they would not objeet, and that in faet, I thought that they would rather enjoy it. I added seduetively that perhaps they might be able to arrange little eoneerts to be held now and then, on a Sunday evening, or whenever it was convenient for them. He seemed greatly taken by the proposal, and said with a pleased air that al- though they had never done mueh of that kind in publie, he thought it might be arranged. Then, at an imperative note from a. distanee, he ealled HI'm eoming, my love, and turning to me, said, There's Miranda now. She has been house-hunting all day, and I must hurry home and help get supper. I'll talk over the matter with her, and let you know her deeision. flomingl , and with a slight nod in my di- reetion, and a swift flash of wings, he was gone. I hoped that Miranda would eome and look around our plaee soon, but as yet neither of them has returned. I heard his voiee the other morning, in gentle ex- postulation with some unseen eompanion, but as I eouldn't eateh his words, I do not know whether he was arguing with Miranda or not. Perhaps Miranda, being eity-bred, prefers to be nearer town, perhaps the idea of the eoneerts was displeasing to her, I do not know. All I know is that as yet there is no flurry of nest-building in our trees, and that my little friend has never returned with Miranda's deeision. I hope he sometimes wins in their arguments, but Miranda seems to have a will of her own. .

The divisio11s IIIIICIQ i11 it formed a basis for after books. Tl1e IIOXI year tl1e work was no less eoneentrated, and the book showed the res11lt of a years experienee.

Tl1e 1921 suereeded i11 plat-ing THE LINKS tllllflllg' the best annuals i11 tl1e United States. lt was at tl1e instigation and suggestion of Jesse H. Newlon, prineipal of Lin- eoln lligll sehool ill the year 1916-17, tl1at THE LINKS was first published. lie not Ollly 1113.119 a plat-e i11 Lineoln l1igl1 sehool for tl1e annual, but l1e also established a definite ai111 for staffs of tl1e future. Mr. Newlon expressed this purpose i11 the 1917 LINKS: THE LINKS will represe11t i11 a unique way tl1e spirit of tl1e 11ew Lincoln high sehool. ln tl1is book will be mirrored tl1e life of tl1e sehool, a life tl1at will be- come deeper a11d rieher witl1 tl1e l11'03dCl1I11g of tl1e eurrieulum and tl1e exte11sio11 tilltl. develop111e11t of st11de11t activities.

'Five Y0ll1Ill6S of THE LINKS l121V6 portrayed tl1is growth of student life ill Lin- eoln high sehool. It is no longer a new life b11t an aeeepted eo11ditio11. The purpose of THE LINKS has beeonie, as Mr. Newlo11 predieted, the representation of the expansion of an establisl1ed institution. -108- The art department has for six years produced most of the art work for the annual. Miss Sarah T. Muir has acted as chairman of the advisory board for six years. She has, more than any other individual, been responsible for the high quality THE LINKS has maintained. Mr. Frank Kane, who succeeded Mr. Otto Hackman and Mr. Cavenaugh as financial adviser, has served in that position for four years. Miss Louise Miller, Miss Viola Gray and Miss Elizabeth Atkins have acted as literary advisers in the past. Miss S. Adelia VVinter, a new teacher in Lincoln high school, is literary adviser forthe 1922 book. THE LINKS is indebted to each of these sponsors for constant work and excellent advice. Ellyn ilteh aah Ialark Eirvrtnrg The Red and Black directory was issued by the student council in the spring of 1921. The purpose of this small book, costing only fifteen cents, is probably best expressed by the introduction of the book: Its purpose is to invite and guide everyone into the inner life of the school. To the new students and freshmen who are to be with us this fall we extend a cor- dial welcome. We hope that to you these pages will be helpful and that they 111ay ever inspire you to stand and tight for the lofty ideals of our high school. Though the main purpose of the book is to guide the new members of the school, juniors and even seniors have found it valuable. The book deals with each activity in turn, beginning with the student coun- cil and the home room representative system. Each of these organizations is given a page in the directory with the constitution of the student council so that every- one may know upon what the self government system is based. A half page is devoted to the building. Here is told the location ofthe pI'111- cipal rooms and oliices in the school. A few interesting facts about the auditorium are also given and the assembly system is explained. The Links and the Advocate each claims a page, and various other activities, such as debate, athletics, and or- ganizations are taken up. Une of the features of the athletic sections is the constitution ofthe Nebraska. high school athletic association. The seasons records in football, basketball, and track are given with a table of state track records and a list of all the letter men in high school. Another half page is devoted to the olympics, a comparatively new addition to the athletic program. In the organization department every club, including band, chorus and or- chestra, is given a brief summary. The last few pages of the book are devoted to a group of Lincoln high songs and yells. About a thousand copies of the book were printed, and to date approximate- ly eight hundred have been sold. This book has not been a money-maker for the council, but such was not its purpose. The book is put out so that all might catch the spirit of Lincoln high and go forth to sing with conviction.

MISS VIOLA GRAY THE ADVOCATE is a real, four-page six- colunm newspaper now finishing the twenty- seventh year ot its existence. It is published weekly by a stat? chosen from the students who have taken the course in newswriting. Four students selected by try-outs for editor, man- aging editor, business manager and advertising manager, and four faculty members compose the official board. The editor and managing editor are responsible to the literary adviser, the business manager and the advertising man- agers are responsible to the tinaneial adviser. 'the facility members offer advice and have the power of veto. 'l he complete board chooses the rest ot the staff. The paper aims to cover student and faculty atieairs, assemblies, the policies of the school, alumni news and changes in curricu- lums as thoroughly as it covers athletic and society news. lt contains editorials upon timely subjects of both local and general interest. The amount and variety ot news in THE ADVOCATE, the topography and make-up and the headline writing were commended by the judges of the contest of the Central Inter- scholastic cousin. Three consecutive issues ot the paper were entered in this contest last tall. Vllhile the paper won no Iirst place, one of the judges wrote on its score card, 'tlixcellent paper. t'ame within two points of placing with the winners. lt was ranked poorer in illustra- tion, fiction, features and humor, editorials and the heading with name. THE ADVOCATE is not able to pay for many expensive cuts partly because ot the low rate ot subscription. As for tiction, features and humor, the policy of the paper is to till its columns with news and not humor or tiction. The news writing classes write unceasingly tor the paper since every student must have ten inches of copy printed in order to earn full credit in the course. Every class gets out one issue ot THE ADVOCATE during the semester. Then the regular statt takes a vacation and the class gains some real experience. The paper is issued to its 1149 regular sub- scribers every Tuesday during fourth period. The rate of subscription is thirty-tive cents a semester. THE ADVOCATE is financially sound. its advertising, about forty percent of the pub- -112- Press Association at Madison, VVis- MISS DOROTHY J. COLBURN lished matter, pays almost three-fourths ot the printer's charge. The advertising policy is strict, only certain types of advertisements being used. A typewriter, in addition to the two already owned, and other equipment were purchased this year and the paper closes its season with a neat balance. Miss Dorothy Jane Colburn has been the literary adviser tor this year. She was graduated from the Lincoln high school and has a bac-helor's and a master's degree from the University of Nebraska. Besides her work in journalism in the university she has had extensive experience on two newspapers, the Aslwille Citizen, Asheville, North Carolina, and the Nebraska State Journal. Miss Viola Gray, financial adviser this semester, has had ample training in handling school publications, having served as literary adviser for the first two volumes of THE LINKS. Miss S. Adelia Winter, now literary adviser of annual, acted as financial adviser for THE ADVOCATE the first semester of this year. She came to Lincoln high school from Fort Dodge, Iowa. H. P. Shepherd, the principal, and Miss Sarah T. Muir, head of the English department, are the other faculty members ofthe advisory board. Miss Muir had been chairman of' publications since 1917 when THE ADVOCATE ceased to be a magazine and assumed the form of a newspaper. Manual nf Blinrnln itligh Svrhnnl The manual of administration, curriculum organization and social control was published by the faculty ot Lincoln high school in 1919 under the direction of Frank G. Pickell. It came as the fruit of a growing demand for a tangible state- ment ot the policies and purposes of the school under the new organization estab- lished in 1917. Lincoln high school is compactly sketched in the one hundred nine pages of the manual. The first chapter has as its theme the general organization of the school. 1'nder two sub-topics, administrative organization and organization of social life, every phase in the school management is discussed. Student activi- ties, their purposes, organizations and special projects, are listed. Program of studies and curriculum organization are taken up in the second chapter. The third chapter provides a description of' every course offered in the school. The aims, courses, constants and other points of interest of each department are given. The library is the subject of' the final chapter. Each department put into form its own material and a connnittee composed of Miss Olivia Pound, chairman, Miss Sarah T. Muir, Mrs. Kate W. Kinyon and Miss Elizabeth Atkins edited the whole. It is classed among the best manuals in the country, and has gained an enviable reputation for Lincoln high school. Copies have been sent to schools all over the United States. lt is also of concrete value to Lincoln high school faculty, students and patrons. Ruth Taylor of the class of' 1920, a student in the art department, designed the cover. -113- 1 he Glinematngraph A pieture is before us. lt is the eapitol of the state ot Nebraska, a grey stone building, a masterpiet-e ot' arm-hiteeture in its day. Great c-ranks show in the stone, and in one plat-e a whole wall leans perilously outward. Great beams seen through the windows of the senate ehamber, hold the frail and rotted fabric' of the strut-- ture together. A dome, 4-haraeteristie of state eapitols in general, rises above, an old dome, ugly from an are-hiteetural point. of view. Around the building, stately trees, and shaded walks are spread, with a statue of the Great limaneipator on the west. Rather pretty, all told, but it must go. i Flash! Another pit-ture is before us. We see the great trees out down, and the walks ripped up and covered with dirt. A railroad has been built, and sidings so numerous that the eapitol grounds resemble the switching yards of a great rail- way. A home-made eleetrie locomotive plies its way about the yards, shifting loaded ears away to make room for empties, and shoving the empty ears up to be tilled. Two gigantic- steam shovels take up earth in tremendous quantities,'and leave smooth-sided exeavations. The grounds are transformed into a hive ot' in- dustry.

This is the tower that eaused sueh eontroversy among the eonservatives of arehiteeture when it was tirst. designed. it rises impressively toward heaven, majestieally topping everything around. Then the summit is revealed. Four hundred feet above the level of the ground it rises, almost lost in the sky, fairer than we ever could possibly guess. Upon the very summit is the great statue of The Sewer, typifying Nebraska, visible for fifty miles around. -Wilbur Gaffney, '23. -114- f fra y WL T g w 0 ff' 3?

Mead closes his third year as head coach at Lincoln high, with his reputation for turning out winning teams established. Only three letter men appeared this fall from which to build a championship team. What was the result? Lincoln high defeated last years state champions and were defeated only once during the season. This was in the Turkey day battle with North Platte. Not only does Coach Mead know football, he can also produce basketball and track teams that make a name for themselves all over the state. At the beginning of the basketball season there were only two letter men eligible, yet Coach Mead succeeded in building up one of thc fastest teams in the state. Only two defeats were marked up against liincoln high 's basketball squad this year. Though the track season is not yet finished, the Lincoln team has had a chance to show what Coach Mead is able to do in that line. Taking sec- ond place in one triangular meet, and third place in a Central Nebraska meet, the track team has shown what can be done with a comparatively new squad. flarnlil Ernmnr livery captain nmst have his lieutenant and Uaptain Mead has been very fortunate these last. two years in the man he has had.

It was during Mr. Brownels regime that the second bas- ketball team first had a regular schedule of games with schools outside the city. The physical education classes under Mr. Browne have made great strides forward. From the members of his classes he has organized a tumbling team that has gained quite a reputation. They have given several exhibitions in assembly and this year an entire assembly program was nasium classes, under Mr. Browne's direction. . That a wise the fact that lost only one '.

Yordy will be a real basketeer next season. Leslie King, another substitute forward, plays a neat variety of basketball. Leslie performed with the Y juniors last season, and this experience made him a very valuable man. llarold Miller substituted at the pivot position for Baker. Miller has the ear- marks of a real center ot the valuable type. Lewis is the only member of the rage squad to leave the quintet. Vllith a team uonstrueted around the seasoned rectangle formed by Brown, Melntyre, Olds, and Baker, the foes of Lineoln will face a fighting team next season. Gail Curtain, Don Coon and Phillip Ashworth were on the first. team, but did not partieipate in enough games to reeeive first team L's and so were presented with reserve letters. Lincoln high school opened the season by giving York high the small end of a 34-5 eount. Coach Mead sent ten men into this game and all performed like vet- erans. Lineoln's next opponent evidently knew the game better than the first. The Meadmen were not acc-ustomed to playing tag in a eraeker box, as was the ease -124- t ' at Friend, but a last minute spurt gave Lincoln a I 23-21 victory. The following week West invaded East, when Alliance high school took a ten-game junket into this part of the state. The ball was in close proximity to the Alliance guards during the entire forty minutes. They have other things besides a butter fac- tory at Seward, Lincoln discovered when they had to hit her on high to get the game. When the smoke of the battle had cleared away the his- torian recorded at 39-22 victory for the Capital city cagesters. City conquered suburb the following night after the Seward contest, when McIntyre and his allies handed University Place a 16 to 11 drub- bing. Lewis contributed a quartet of field goals in the contiict. with the young Methodists. A dance floor does not make an ideal basket- ball court. The Lincoln quintet discovered this whe11 they invaded Grand Island, but Lincoln danced a little better than their opponents and reached the big end of a 32 to 21 tally. The fol- lowing night York high took the count of ten. The Yorksters had improved since their inaugural DORSEY McINTYRE fling at the winter pastime and Lincoln was hard pressed to win by a 28 to 17 score. Evidently the packing house atmosphere does not agree with the cage appe- tite of the Red and Black basketeers. South Omaha spilled the whitewash when it handed Lincoln the 31 part of a 31 to 34 argument. Lincoln forgot the stockyard defeat and subdued Fremont the following night. When the final whistle terminated the tussle the scoreboard read: Lincoln 19, Fre- mont 11. McIntyre pitched a ringer in the last thirty seconds of the play which cinched the game for Lincoln. The Meadmen inaugurated the second semester by giving the State Farm basket tossers a clea11 wallop on the armory floor. The regular five performed in the initial period, while the seconds contested in the second half against the Aggies. When the game terminated, the young farmers were holding the 9 of a 36 to 9 score. To lose one's self in Geneva reads like fiction, but it is a real fact. The Fill- more county seat cage court was too big for the pupils of Coach Mead, and it is reported that five members of the squad were lost on it for twenty minutes. In the latter half the Links made up time, and when the final whistle blew, the score read something like this: Lincoln, 19, Geneva 12. Jug Brown didn't let superstition enslave his mind, but calmly registered thirteen points. Sutton high school and Lincoln composed the bill for a Saturday matinee. Afternoon engagements agree with Lincoln, as Sutton was defeated by a score of 29 to 19. Twenty-nine is quite a popular score with the Lincoln five. While Mac and his crew were accumulating the total of twenty-nine, the best North Platte could do was to tally for the sum of twelve points, quite a different story from the Turkey day pigskin clash. -125- Wl1e11 Purple 211111 White meets Red ?1'1C1 Blaek 21 hedlani reigns.

Lincoln, picked as probable winner, was eliminated in the first round by the Grand Island quintet. The Meadmen could not get started, while the Third City aggregation was working on all cylinders. When the final shot was fired the high scoreboard flashed: Lincoln 12, Grand Island 27. This was the opening shock of the tourney but others followed. Sutton was crowned class A champion after defeating Crete high school in the finals by a seore of 13 to 11. It was a hard-fought game which kept the five thousand cage fans in a constant uproar. The other elass winners were as follows: Class B-Ravenna Class Bartley Class Ansley Class J-llowells Class -Pierce Class -Filley Class -Alexandria Class Dodge Class I -Clarkson Class M-Ashland Class -Nehawka School for Deaf Class N-Goehner Class -Brainard Class U-Clatonia Iizuikethall livavrura 'tSemper Paratus is the motto of the athletic world in liincoln high school, and with this in mind, Coach W. ll. Browne developed a reserve basketball team. The cage seconds gained a total of thirteen scalps out of a sixteen-game sched- ule. liawlor Sports, champions of the eity league, was one of the three quintets which defeated the proteges of Coach Browne. Greenwood and the llellolay tives, were the other basket tossers to take the measure of the reserves. During the season the Brownies hit the basket for a sum of three hundred fifty points, while their opponents were accumulating two hundred seventy-four points, or an average of twenty-one points against seventeen points per game. The first game of the season went to the Lawlor five when the sportsters cap- tured the long end of a 40 to 6 score. Greenwood was not quite so green as the pupils of Coach Browne had figured. NN'hen the game ended, the Greenwood five was holding the big end of a 23 to 12 score. The seconds hit their stride in the next game, downing the First Christian aggregation to the tune of 27 to 20. Church quintets were easy for the first string understudies. They next romped over the St. Paul cagesters. The final score was 22 to 16. The next victim, a uni- versity team, took the short end of a 29 to 7 score. The much-advertised Lynx cagesters took the next defeat administered by the reserves. The tussle ended with the Brownes holding the long end of a 21 to 19 score. The Dellolay basketeers broke the list of victories by drubbing the seconds 28 to 21. I'niversity Place 4, liincoln 12 the scoreboard read after the liincoln and suburb reserves had competed for forty minutes. Greenwood could not stop the reserves and was conquered by a 29 to 22 margin. Druggists not only make pills, but pretty sprightly cage players as well, if one may judge from the Piller quintet. The reserves collected 17 points while the Pillers found the hoop for a total of 15 points. In the next. rampage the li. H. S. reserves gathered in the scalps of the Seward Seminary, and the University Plaee reserves with scores of 30 to 12 and 14 to 2 respectively. -127- The next victory was turned in at the expense of the Bethany reserves to the music of 22 to 18. Seward Seminary again fell victim to the onslaught of the reserve quintet. Stan Lewis threw a basket in the last few seconds of play, which tucked the game away by a score of 14 to 13. The following week the Goody Bakery live was defeated by a score of 34 to 20. As a curtain raiser to the Lincoln-Central game, the reserves shot their way to a 40 to 15 victory. This victory terminated the 1921-22 basketball season. The quintet elected Frank Corrick, fyrward, to captain them but Corrick was unable to participate i11 the games, so Maynard Weyand was elected to take his place. Corrick, however, performs in a clever fashion and is a puzzling equation for opposing guards to solve. The reserve captain should be a valuable cagester when the gong is sounded for basket candidates next season. Fred Parshall, the reserve forward, has a wicked optic for locating the basket. t'Shorty was easily the accelerator in the scoring machine. Parshall's total ot baskets would read like the Standard Oil King's income tax. Stanley Lewis performed in the dual role of center and forward. Stalin has the habit, when the count is even, of adding points in about the last thirty-one seconds of play. Stan not only finds the hoop then, but during the entire con- tllct. Louie Marx was Coach Rrowne's old reliable at the stationery guard posi- tion. Marx does not play a sensational game, but fights in a consistent fashion. Meynard Weyand, captain, held down the other watchman's job on the re- serve tive. Weyand played a neat tloor game, and made a practice of killing the scoring machine of superior teams. Morrell Mills shared the forward ranks onthe 'tsecondsf' Mills fights every minute of the game, and will be an excellent 1112111 when the cage campaign rolls around next season. Delmar Wlarde contested at the center position. Pinky played a neat varie- ty of the indoor pastime. Addison Miller also aided in the tip-otf. Miller has the ability to deliver a real quality of basketball. Reserves .... Reserves .... Reserves .... Reserves .... Reserves .... Reserves .... Reserves ,,.. Reserves Reserves .... Reserves ....

Une hundred points, earned by participating in any athletic events of the year, are required to become a member. These activities include soccer, hockey, baseball, basketball, dancing, swimming, te11nis, traek, skating and hiking. The purpose of the club is 'tto combine health and fun, to develop good sportsmanship, to iind joy in com! radeship and to serve Lincoln high school whenever and wherever it can. Each year, at an assembly given late in the spring, the elub presents the school letter HL to the members who have earned the required number of points. 1000 points are required of girls who join as freshmen, S00 points oi' girls who join as sophomores, 500 points of girls who join in their junior year, 300 points of girls joining seniors. Stripes and emblems are given girls for additional points earned during the four years. A silver loving cup is awarded the senior girl who wins more points than any other girl.in the graduating class. This past year, the club, under the leadership of Miss Breitstadt, published a. pamphlet, one of which was given to every girl in school. This publication told what the purpose of the elub is, what is required of anyone desiring membership, and some of the accomplishments of the organization. On the first night of the basketball tournament, the club sold programs, candy, and apples in the high school gymnasium during the games. Last spring oon- feetions were sold by the members at the junior-senior-olympics. The G. A. A. stands for clean, healthful sports, and does all it can to promote them.

Cora Frances Tait -135- ldf 5 Stbt't'lA1R For the first time since the founding of the Girls Athletic Association, enough girls practiced to make four full teams for soccer. Soccer is more like football than any other game, and it is becoming more popular every year among the girls of Lincoln high school. The sophomores hold the soccer championship for this year. Their team was a good one, and they hotly contested their games. Miss Nannie Roberts and Miss Eleanor Snell, both University of Nebraska students, coached the girls this last season, under the general supervision of Miss Irene Springer and Miss Emma Breit- stadt. Miss Marie Clark, from the university, refereed the tournament. games. In the preliminaries, the freshmen had no show whatever with the sopho- mores. The first year team was inexperienced. None of the girls had ever played before. The sophomores, in spite of the fact that they are only second year stu- dents, turned out a record team. These girls seemed to have more ability in sports than even the seniors. ln the game between the freshman and sophomores, the un- derclassmen were tied down with a 2 to 0 score in favor of their elders. The seniors, last years champions in soccer, were unable to hold the record this year. The juniors spent their time in good, hard practice, and were able to defeat the former champions 2 to 1. In the final game against the sophomores, how- ever, they were unable to make a score. The final game in the tournament was anticipated with enthusiasm by the girls in every class. There were differences of opinion as to which of the two prelimin- ary winners would take the championship. Many thought the juniors, because they had vanquished the former champions, would win the title. Still others were inclined to believe that the sophomores, whose team played hard and fast, would win. These latter speculators were right, for the sophomores scored two when Margaret Ames and Cornelia Rankin made goal kicks. GIRLS RASKETBALIA liasketball is essential to complete the schedule of girls athletics. In this school it is more popular with most of the girls than any other sport. This year more girls turned out for basketball than for any of the other games. Vnder the leadership of Miss Eleanor Snell and Miss Nannie Roberts, the teams progressed rapidly and enthusiasm for the game did not diminish. The tournament was keen- ly anticipated throughout the season by all the girls. SENIORS VS. SOPHOMORES The seniors met the sophomores and defeated them 21 to 16 on March 1-1. It was a hotly contested game, but the underelassmen were not able to keep up their end of the score. Eva Davis, sophomore, made the record for baskets in this game. She threw ten and would undoubtedly have tossed more had she not been put off the field after six fouls. tlora Frances Tait did some good work for the seniors when she tossed six baskets. Dorothy ttoodale also shone for the graduat- ing class, with five baskets to her credit. Almost to the final whistle the game was uncertain, but a cheer arose when the whistle blew, and the score was announced, Zl to lti. FRESHMEN VS. JUNIORS The freshmen-junior game, on March 15, was a complete walk-away for the juniors. The freslnnen had had little experience, and were unable to withstand the rush of the upper classmen. lfeora Chapman and llazel Snavely made twenty- one baskets for the juniors. lieora threw eleven of them and Hazel hooped ten. -137- Thelma Dimmitt held the reeord for the freshmen with three sueeessful throws. At the tinal whistle, when the seore of 42 to T was announeed, the indignant seniors on the side lilies vowed to avenge the first year girls. JUNIORS VS. SENIORS Inspired and eontident, the two teams went on the field for the final game. The juniors did not lose heart for a moment when the seniors eontinued to pile up the seore against them. They played swiftly and earefully, but were unable To prevent the seniors from making baskets. At the end of the half with the st-ore I4 to 3, the underelassmen entered into eonsultation, and deeided that they must make more baskets at any 4-ost. When they went on to the tield for the set-ond halt, they tossed two baskets before the seniors eould prevent them. lixeitenient ran high in the last half, but not many balls were raged. ln spite of the fart that the juniors were determined to break the preeedent of many years, at the last whistle, the seniors still ran true to form. They had won the basketball tournament with a seore of 19 to 8. SECOND TEAM S Never before have seeond teams in any of the sports or the girls ealendar been formed in liineoln high sehool. This year, enough freshman and sophomore girls turned out to make two seeond teams in basketball. These teams met in eom- bat on Mareh 15, in the girls gymnasium. The sophomores triumphantly left the tield with flying eolors. Cornelia Ran- kin, forward, made the reeord in the 1u1mber of baskets thrown by one girl dur- ing the game. She tossed ten sueeessful halls for the sophomores. Margaret Ames, the other sophomore forward, made two baskets for her team. Wilma tlapeli made the only freshman seore when she sueeeeded in hooping one free throw. At the tinal whistle, the underelassmen were badly beaten by a seore of 21 to 1, but they have had the experienee of one game in whieh their skill was pitted against that of another team. litlt'KEY TOllRNAMl'1N'l' When the tournament brought the soeeer season to a elose, the girls took up elubs and returned to the tield to begin the praetiee of a game whieh was new to most ot' them. The hoekey season had begun. The freshmen had an advantage over the upperelassmen, as they had played the game in the grade sehools the year before, and some of them were experts. Partly beeause there have been no sticks, and partly beeause the girl athletes have never taken the time to play, hoekey has not held a. plaee on the girls sports ealendar for some time. The girls like the game and hope that there will always, hereafter, be elubs with whieh to play. PRELIMINARY GAMES ln the preliminary games of the tournament, played on Deeember 14, the fresh- men showed their skill when they beat the juniors 4 to 2. The juniors fought well, but the ability of the little freshmen to dodge surprised even the seniors, who thought they had eompletely mastered the game. This proved to be otherwise, however, for when the final whistle blew for the sophomore-senior game, the seore stood 3 to 4 in favor of the sophomores. The winning team was rough, and it romped all over the upperelassmen, but the seniors were unable to hold the seore down in figures. -138- 4 FINAL GAMES After a six-period game between the freslnnen and sophomores on December 15, the game was stopped by Miss Hreitstadt, a one-score tie remaining to be played off. The teams had played each other off their feet. ln this game, the ball was kept rolling from one end of the field to the other. ln the first period, Hazel tllds, sophomore, scored. The third period of the game was reached before the freshmen were able to tie the seore. Jessie Bell proved to be the freshman star. It was her quick playing that saved the freshmen from taking the small end of the score. When the whistle blew for the end of the fourth period, the game was still a tie. The girls wanted to play the finish so after a short rest, they again took up their clubs. During the sixth period, the ball kept its position near the fresh- men goal most of the time. At the whistle, the game was stopped. Un January 4, the sophomores and freslnnen met again in combat for the hockey laurels. Two eight-minute halves were played. The final score showed the metal of the freshmen. The game ended 2 to l in their favor. TRAMPING All girls who wish to go on the tl. A.

At the first opportunity five or six girls rush into the gymnasium and sign the paper on the bulletin board. Then plans are made for the tramp. Dressed in their gymnasium uniforms, carrying light lunches and some matches, provided they do not forget them-that is the matehes for they never forget the lunchesgthe girls set out for the country, keeping track of the miles which they traverse. They generally have some definite spot for camping in mind, and after they have reached the ehosen ground, they rest. a bit before getting luneh ready. Of course there is always a fire. Stieks are gathered from far and near, and the most skilled girl in the group tries to see if she can ignite the pile with only one match. She seldom succeeds for generally it takes the last match to make that tiny much-watched-for flame. While the fire is burning down the lunch is unwrapped. Perhaps wieners, and even marshmallows, are disclosed besides the bread, pickles, cakes, and mustard for the weiners. Then comes a search for the right kind ot sticks on which to roast the weiners and marshmallows. Eating the lunch seems to be the most fun of all. During the preparation of the feast there is little talk- ing, but when the last weiner has disappeared and the marshmallows are toast- ing, the talk bursts out afresh. After the lunch is over and the fire has been made safe, the girls begin their homeward march singing some of the songs of the road and the campfire. When they near the town they become quieter, for they are tired. They try hard not to think of that last long mile. All agree that it is the worst of all, but neces- sary. Yet it is these miles which count in a G. A. A. tramp. Forty miles are re- quired in a semester, according to rules, before the girls may receive the twenty-tive points toward their Us, Iflowever, points are not. the only things which the girls gain from their walks, for they learn, much about human nature. Many ot the girls walk because they love freedom, others because they love the compan- ionship of the girls with whom they are walking, still others because walking gives them strength and teaches them to be good sports. TRACK NVith the coming of warm weather last spring, the girls in the gymnasium classes started practiee for the great spring event, the track meet. Regular class periods were not the only times when the girls praetieed, however. After school, -139- whether supervised or not, some ot the girls faithfully trained in jumping, hard'- ing, running, and throwing the javelin, the baseball and the basketball. The meet was won by Margaret llymer, then a junior. She proved to be the lleetest of toot in the thirty-five yard dash, she eonld throw the basketball far- ther than any other girl: and she was on the winning relay team. lflazel Snavely made seeond plaee in individual points. Hazel won first plaees in the hurdles and the fifty-yard dash. Marguerite Eastham and Eva Davis tied for third plaee. The winners of first plaee in the other events were Ulara llines for the broad jmnp and llarriet Met'lelland tor the rmming broad jump, Eva Davis won the baseball throw. The winning relay team was eomposed ot' juniors: Gladys Rains- dell, Margaret llymer, Mugs lflasthans and Dorothy Goodale. Just before the throw, the javelin was broken, and so this event was omitted, to the disappoint- ment ol' some of the girls. TENNIS The first girls tennis tournament in history was staged 'in liineoln high sehool last spring. l'nder the auspiees of the G. A. A. twelve girls played for eham- pionship on the eourts south of the high sehool building on May twenty-six and twenty-seven, 1921. Ada Mills, winner in the finals, vanquished llarriet Mefflel- laml, Alive Springer, Ireta Baker, and Aliee Sanderson. The girls looked after their own games and seores. Many of them played early in the morning, before sehool, and others played late in the evening, or right after dismissal. The girls drew for opponents in eaeh round. ln the first round ot the tournament, lllenda Olson won over Ruth lfl. Smith, Aliee Springer over l'lara llines, Aliee Sanderson over Greta Southworth, lreta liaker over Pearl tfosgrove, Marian Fling, by default, over Dorothy Paekwood, and Ada Mills over llarriet Mm-f'lelland. In the seeond round, Ada Mills played Alive Springer and wong Aliee Sander- son won over lilenda Ulsong and Ireta Baker, by default, won over Marian l ling. These three winners played off the third round of the tournament. GIRLS ISASEIBAIIL The freshmen and seniors battled to a. 12 to C3 seore in favor of the under-- elassmen on the baseball diamond on May 23, 1921. The junior-sophomore game resulted in a vietory for the juniors, tseore 9 to 4.5 Miss Emma Iireitstadt and Miss Irene Springer nmpired the preliminary games. The freshmen, the final vietors, won from the juniors by the seore, Ili to 15. This game was played in the evening, as the heat of the day was more than the girls eared to eombat. ltlleanor Snell, of the University of Nebraska, umpired the game whit-h was played May 24. lflorenee Jones, with her flies, Marguerite Eastham, with her home runsg and Margaret llymer, berause ot' her tleetness, were the jlllfilll' stars. Itlva Davis aml Irma Manning, beeanse ot' their fifties, and Marie Curran were stars for the freslnnen. Night eame on, and neither the juniors nor the freshmen were able to work oti' the 15 to 15 tie. The girls were unable to see the ball, but they wanted to finish the game. After some diseussion they moved to the indoor field in the girls gym- nasium. The juniors were in the field, and it was at the very beginning of tho inside play, that Marie t urran made a final seore for the freshmen, thus ending the game with the seore ot' Ili to 15. All honor to the freshmen. -140.- SWIMMING Splash! Splash! Splash! l3oooo! It's eold! Swim around and you'll warm up.'l 'Tonto on! Rare me aeross the pool. These are only a few of the expressions heard in the swin1n1i11g pool when the girls go into the water for their weekly elass work. Ilig girls, little girls, and mid- dle sized girls-it matters not whieh-ean all beeome good swinnners. Having tested the water and taken the first plunge into its iey, eool or warm depths, the girls begin their work on the strokes, if they have not already per- fected them, or on treading water, a task whieh some seem to do easily. Uthers bet-ome blue in the faee and out of breath in less than half a minute when they try it, but they praetiee desperately for enduranee. After the strokes, eome the dives. It seems an easy thing to do, that running along the board and jumping oil' head tirst into the water, but in order to do it perfeetly, diligent praetiee is neeessary, and the girls soon find it out. It takes a little nerve to be at home in eight feet of water, but onee the girls have aeeomplished the art, they seldom ap- proaeb the shallow end of the pool. It is slow work 1-hanging from a 'fpolywog , a beginner, to a Hfishll, a full fledged swinnner, but under the guidanee of Miss Springer and Bliss lireitstadt, the girls soon at-eomplish the feat. The fish , f'f'rogs and ttpolywogsw eame together for their annual meet in the high sehool swimming pool on April 19, 1922. Teams had been picked the week before, after try-outs by all girls who wished to enter, Miss Irene Springer and Eva Davis at-ting as judges. The plunge fioor was lined with team-hers, high sehool girls and a few mothers. All waited expeetantly for the first sound of the whistle whieh would announee the beginnino' of the demonstrations.

DANCING CtJN'1'l4lS'l' lt is seldom that grown-ups are taken bac-li to the realm of Put-li and Pixies. The girls who erowded into the auditorium on May 5, did not realize that they were about to see the rurtain drawn on the fairy land of their childhood days. Yet that is what happened. Flower maidens, red birds, a gypsy girl, and spring daneed before their eyes. A great yellow moth eame out and sailed majestieally around for them. Two sleepy girls wandered through the forest, and were finally lulled to rest by a light breeze singing in the tree tops. Then eanie Robin llood, a queer looking Robin llood, for he was up-to-date, and earried a ukelele. There in the forest, with the aid of his voiee and instrument, he wooed and won his lady fair. So with solo dana-es, duets, a. trio and even a quartette, lightly and quielzly or slow- ly and stately, life in that magie land was portrayed. liueille Sutherland, in her Spring Song, won tirst place. liueille appeared with a basket of spring flowers. After having daneed in the face of old NVinter and sent him si-urrying into the northlnnd, she ealled spring bark to the wood- lands with the pipes of Pan. Almost sorrowfully, she dropped her blooming tlowers over the woodland floor, and then vanished. -142- Gladys Ramsdell was given second place for l1er dance, Vivette. Never was a dance more animated and spritely than hers. So full of life, she easily depieted a vivacious fairy of the greenwood. Reba Evans, winner of third place, daneed Narcissus. She was as beautiful and vain as the tirst Narcissus himself. Dorothy Goodale, with the ever popular Spanish dance, received honorable mention. She was an ideal gypsy, and her interpretation of the dance of that care- free tribe was the soul of wild grace. Such was the third annual dancing contest, held under the auspices ot' the Girls Athletic Association. Mrs. l . VV. Putney, Miss Ruth Fiekes and Mrs. Luther Andrews were judges. Miss Emma lireitstadt was instructor for the dancing classes and Alice Springer was pianist.

L eora Chapman, Hazel Snavely AWARDS A larger number of girls were winners of awards last spring than ever bc- fore in the history of liincoln high school. In the senior assembly, twelve girls were presented their honor emblems for having earned the required number of points in girls athletics. Each year, a silver loving cup is presented to the senior girl winning the high! est number of points in athletics. llarriet Mctllelland won this cup last year. t'li's were given to Dorothy Goodale, Margaret llymer, Ruby Wilder, lllarguerite Eastham, Gertrude King, Marie Snavely, Blanche Hanna, Ruth E. Smith, and Esther Kellogg. Harriet McClelland earned two hundred points more than she needed for her L and so was awarded an emblem. Blenda Olson and Greta Southworth received stripes for having earned one hundred points more than the required number for their lfs',. SP1 IRT LEADERS Every year, when officers are elected for the G. A. A., sports leaders are also chosen. Girls who are especially good in some one sport are generally chosen i'or leaders. For the year 1921-1922, Marguerite Eastham, a senior, and a good, al!- around player, was chosen as soccer leader. llazel tllds, a sophomore, and a girl who stands high in the esteem of her schoolmates, was made basketball leader llazel understands the game and plays it well. Eva Davis, winner of last years swimming meet, was rewarded this year by being chosen leader for that event Eva is admired by all the girls for her clean-cnt diving and speedy swimming. Cornelia Rankin was chosen leader for hockey. She is a sophomore and an all- around athlete. .Erma Manning, a girl who stands out in the art ot playing base- ball, was chosen leader for that sport this year. Erma played catch on the fresh- man team last spring. She is a girl who enters with a zest into any sport, and always plays her best. These girls help to choose the teams for the events for which they are lead- ers. In this way, the best players are picked for the class teams, and the girls are represented in choosing the teams. -143- -IH- IBEBHT flltlr. El. Sv. Bunn, Erhatr Glnarh eoln high sehool for two years, has been direeting and developing debaters. Mr. Dunn has not only turned out sueeesstnl teams but he has aroused in the student body an in- , terest in debate. While he is interested in turning ont a winning team Mr. Dunn is also interested in keeping the standards of debate high. lle is opposed to the bonibast, the eloeution, and the laekl otf logie that at one time eharaeterized high sehool debating. ln his training ot the team Mr. Dunn emphasizes the important-e ot' elear logieal thinking and of extemporaneous speaking. lle is not so determined to win as he is to build up the right kind of debating. To him the way the game is played is more important than the final seore. In upholding this standard Mr. Dunn has been more than sueeesstul. lle has established , respeet for publie speaking in the minds ot the boys with whom he has worked. Ile has given them the right foundation for future work in that line. Debaters trained by him 1 have already won further honors in the forensie world. Wendell l-Zerge, '21, was given a plaee on the Vniversity of Nebraska debating team, He was the first freshman in twenty years to win this honor. Mr. Dunn is this year turning out debaters with as promising futures. Mr. Dunn eanie to Lincoln high sehool in the fall of 1919 as a member of the soeial serviee department. lle holds an A. l-3. degree from Knox college and an A. M. degree from the University of Nebraska. During the war Mr. Dunn served as a tirst lieutenant in the army. -145- Without a 4-oat-h a debating team is raw material. The materials are there but they need to be developed and direeted. T. S. Dunn, eoaeh of debate in Lin- i Otho DeYilbiss Julius Fransden Sterling Hatfield George .lolmson Hugh Cox Albion Speier Douglass Orr Evhaiv Nine eandidates with lusty lungs and an interest. in argument answered the 1-all tor debaters sent out by T. S. Dunn, eoaeh ot debate, early in January. In the try-outs that followed, seven boys were seleeted for the sehool squad. Re- solved: That the movement of organized labor tor the elosed shop should reeeive the support ot publie opinion was the question to be debated. For four months the debaters ate, drank, and lived this question. Anyone approaehing room 427 during titth period would hear within a heated and impassioned discussion of the industrial question, with the oratorieal tones of George Johnson and Hugh Cox rising triumphantly -above Albion Speieris appeal for justice for you, justiee for me, and justiee tor allf' The squad was in earliest over the attair, however, and worked tirelessly to build up an invulnerable defensive argument, only to make heroin- efforts to break it down by a sweeping offensive eanipaign. So it went un- til the debate team felt that it eould fave either side of the question with in- trepidity. In the tirst argument ot' the season George Johnson, Julius l randsen and Al- bion Speier defeated Wesleyan Aeadeiny. Two weeks later the squad met Univer- sity l'laee in a dual debate. The Methodists eaptured both ends of this eontest. With a hoodoo still on its trail liineoln journeyed to Omaha to engage in a torensie eontroversy with Omaha Technic-al high sehool. George Johnson, Albion Speier and Hugh Cox represented liineoln in this debate. In a lively eontest before an enthusiastie audienee of several hundred people, the Omaha team eaptured two oi' the three votes. Beatriee and liineoln elashed the following Friday in the high sehool audi- torium tor the l orum eup. The debate was a hot one with liineoln holding the ad- vantage in argument and the Heatriee team having a more tor:-eful delivery. Two ot' the three judges voted in favor of Beatriee and the l'w0l'llIl1 eup went bat-li to -14G- the Gage eounty metropolis. For this debate lll r. Dunn moved Johnson up to the first berth and substituted Orr for seeond speaker. After this the Red and Hlaek maehine began to hit its stride. Leaving the hoodoo in the dust, it tore through a. team from the liutheran Aeademy at VVahoo by a unanimous deeision. On May 9 the team traveled again to Omaha, this time to meet Omaha Central in a debate for the Amherst eup. llugh Vox, fltho De- Yilbiss and tleorge Johnson made up the Iiineoln team. The debate wasa give and take affair with the deeision in doubt until the last minute. The ehairman gave the l.ineoln team a bad two minutes when by mistake he announeed a two to one deeision in favor of Omaha. When the Central students were still eheering- he ealled out that he had made a mistake. Two of the votes read for lfineoln. As this is the third time in sueeession that Lineoln has won this eup, it now be- eomes the permanent property of the sehool. tlf the seven squad members only two will be graduated in June. llatfield, Johnson, and DeYilbiss are sophomores. llatfield represented lfineoln in the llni- versity Plaee debate and has shown eonsiderable promise. Johnson held down a permanent berth on the first team, taking part in all but one of the debates. lle will be a valuable member of the squad next year. DeVilbliss was the dark horse of the squad. lle did not represent the sehool in the first part of the year, but the showing he-made in the try-outs for the Omaha f'entral debate won him the position of first speaker. Orr and Fransden, the juniors on the squad, both did good work. Orr in par- tieular displayed in rebuttal an ability to hit the vulnerable spots in the opposi- tion argument. Smeier re Jresented the sehool for the last time. llis strong Joint was his de- : - n . 1 o o livery, XVlll0l1 was partieularly effeetive in direet argument. Fox, who will also be graduated th1s year, has just eompleted three sueeessful years in debate. Enter-rlaaa Behav Interest in debate ran high. Fired by the enthusiasm ereated by the bril- liant elose of last season a larger number of eandidates answered tl1e eall than ever before. The sophomore elass topped the list' with 22 prospects. By a series of try-outs teams were seleeted. David Webster, Robert Burleigh, and Wm. f'ard made up the senior trio: VVarren Sehwenker, Dlanehe Larabee, and Julius Frans- den represented the junior elass. The freshman team was Edna Mc-Donald, Doris lfanning, and Winifred Davis. The sophomores put into the field Otho DeVilbliss, Sterling Hatfield and John Skiles, the same team that eaptured the Magee trophy last vear. For three weeks before the first round of debate the teams worked, gather- ing and sorting material on the open shop question. In the initial eontest the sophomores tore into the freshman and defeated them by a 3-0 deeision. A split deeision in favor of the seniors eliminated the juniors. The finals were held a month later in assembly. The sophomores upheld the affirmative of the state league question and the seniors the negative. The seniors put up a stiff argument but the team work and experienee of the sophomores was the deeiding faetor, and all three of the judges voted in their favor. -147- i i i 2 2 4 i -14S- fllllra. Emile Illnater, Eramatir Glnarh D y Mrs. Luc-ile Becker Foster, the dramatic coach, first studied dramatics in the Oberlin conservatory in Ohio with Francis Nash. Later she attended the University of Nebraska and was graduated in 1922, receiving a B. F. A. degree. A member of the dramatic club and one of the university players, she took an active part in university dramatics, and also coached a number of plays. During the war she helped in entertaining the soldiers in camps. Last summer she was one of the players i11 the Little Green Theater on the university campus. lt will be seen that Mrs. Foster brought to Lin- coln high school a great deal of practical ex- perience as well as natural gift. She directed the Mummers play in the fall of 1921. With the opening of the second semester after the completion of her university course, she gave full time to her teaching and dramatic work in high school. Her tlrst import- l ant piece of coaching in Lincoln high school was Tillie. This unquestioned success was fol- lowed by a remarkably finished piece presented by the senior class, The Mah From Home. The junior play, What Would a Gen- tleman D0 ?, the last three-act play of the year, and numerous one-act plays have all attested Mrs. Foster's ability in er work. h Elhe Milan Ellrnm itlnme lt was like taking a plunge into the Fountain of Youth to attend the first pre- sentation of the senior play in the high school auditorium on Friday night. Sev- eral hundred of the friends of the class joined with about a thousand of the young- sters in celebrating this appearance of the play and found it a joyful and refresh- ing experience. The hall and corridors were bubbling with life and enthusiasm as the great audience gathered. The high school orchestra played the curtain up and as the performers appeared in their unfamiliar makeup they were received with salvos of delighted comment and applause. The four acts were watched with ab- sorbed interest and at the end everybody said that it had been a fine play done so well that the class of 1922 had reason for being enormously pleased with the work of its representatives, said the Nebraska State Journal next morning, after H . ' . Y ' 1 . ie seniois had presented then play, The Man From Home.

Another well handled role was that of the Grand Duke Vasili Yasilivitch played by Emmett Junge. The play was such a success that it was presented two nights.

Such a scene is as much a part ot l ebruary twenty-second as evergreen trees and holly are of t'hristmas. This year the Mummers preserved the tradition ot celebrating George Washington's birthday by sponsoring the one-act play, Dame Greel 0' Portland Town. The action of the play centered aroundathrillingincident when the patriotie Portland Town maids, with the help ot Dame Greel detained the Tories to dance the minuet, thus giving the American soldiers a chance to carry ammunition to one of their strongholds. The scene was laid in the tavern of Dame Alice Greel, the famous colonial woman, who was supposed to have culled cannon balls dur- ing the bombardment of Portland, setting them to cool that they might later be made into bullets for the American Army. It was she who suggested that the dainty misses keep the Tories at the tavern by flirting and dancing with them. Iiater when the transfer of ammunition had been accomplished, the committee of safety met at her tavern. When a British messenger appeared demanding that the town of Portland surrender, she made the American answer emphatic by helping him out with her broom. The play came to a dramatic close when Dame Greel seized a musket declaring her intention of joining the men to defend the town. Much of the success of the play was due to Mrs. liucile Foster and Miss Emma lglreitstadt, as well as to the following cast: Dame Alice Greel ,,.,,........... ,... ..,.........................................

Julius Cochran what mnulh A Mentlrmaru Bn What would a gentleman do ll This was the question that confronted Dickie Ilook, played by Vernon Conover, when he found himself in a most difficult situa- tion at the end of the first act in the junior play. A man of wealth but low birth, he found himself engaged to one of the most charming girls of the aristocracy to which he longed to belong. He trod on air until he accidentally discovered that she had promised to marry him only because her family owed him money which they could not repay in any other way. Moreover, he discovered that she was in love with another man. Then came the question, what would a gentleman da, a real gentleman, the manners of whom the untutored Dickie was eager to ape? His little book of etiquette failed to tell, and he was forced upon his own resources. A real blue blooded gentleman could not have acted in any better taste than Dickie did. Dickie's handling of this problem, the old school courtliness of Sir Bruce Kederby, the kind heart of Aunt Agatha, despite her caustic tongue were chief factors in making the play unusually good material for a student cast and pleasing to the large and cordial audience. Vernon Conover's sturdy manliness as well as his pocket edition of The Per- fect Gentleman and his search for the answer to the question which gives the play its title, won him deserved recognition. Elsie Neely as Madge showed her- self the lady that her suitor considered her. Dolly Banter whose part, like that of Goeffrey Seaton is lovingly dealt with by the playwright was uncommonly well handled by Sylvia Lewis. 'Fed Johnson was a pathetic figure as the blue bloodedl' old gentleman bowed under the weight of financial troubles. His part was presented unusually well. Pearl Cosgrave was a star as the extremely eccentric sister Agatha who did not think much of Dickie's conversational openings. Sir Christopher Wylllle was successfully presented by Phil Sidles.

This quaint Dutch romance called for discriminating acting because of the Penn- sylvania Dutch accent required. The title role was played by Iris Ludden with real sk-ill. Her portrayal of the demure, submissive, yet ambitious little Dutch girl was splendid. Albion Speier as Walter I airchilds, an author who masqueraded as the local school teach- er, played his part with sincerity and humor. Doc Weaver, a home-spun doctor mingling comedy and seriousness, was cleverly impersonated by Kenneth Ander- son. He was whole heartedly concerned over Tillie and had his reasons for everything. Keith Folger played the part of the Dutch boy, Absalom Puntz, who consid- ered it his exclusive right to set up with Tillie and who looked with much dis- favor on the new school teacher. One of the most striking parts was that of Jake Getz, the domineering and unreasonable father of Tillie, played by Ralph Mcfloo- gan. Lucile Cypreansen played the part of Tillie's aunt, in a quiet, appealing manner. Florence Flodeen as Weezy, her daughter, offered a striking contrast with her brilliant attire and slangy speech. The members of the school board and the deacons of the church lent local color. The story itself was rather slight and ended i11 true fairy tale style with everyone happy except Absalom. Tillie and Vllalter Fairchilds drove away from her home in a real buggy drawn by a real horse at Doe VVeaver's well meaning though somewhat profane suggestion that they leave at once for the city before Tillie's father could Hmarry her off to someone else. Mrs. Lucile Foster, who coached the play, and Mrs. Lenor Clark and Miss Florence Grimm, the sponsor of the Mummers, as well as the cast were warmly com- plimented by the audience for the marked success of the production. -153- The entire cast was as follows: Mrs. Wagernagel ..........,..

The stage has rarely appeared more festive than on the morn- ing this play was given. 'lhe interior of the tiorist's shop presided over by the gaily appareled Maude, was attractive and genuine enough with a profusion of llowers and potted plants. A voluble boy lent. the right atmosphere as he tied up bouquets, liourishcd a watering can and drank in the gossip of the place. When a woman has been engaged for fifteen years and there is no wedding in sight, Maude of Slovsky's flower shop thought something drastic really ought to be done. To bring about the long-delayed nuptials for her drooping ,patron she made lavish use of Mr. Slovsky's permission to send free bouquets of flowers to prospective customers. She sent a lovely box of orchids to Miss Wells, anony- mously. When Miss Wells, curious to find out who had so suddenly taken an in- terest in her, called at the shop, Maude stated that she was not permitted to IU-v1.clge the name of the sender, but she described him in a way that would have done credit to a Prince t'harming of a thrilling fairy tale. Meantime Mr. Slovsky discovered that orchids at two dollars a piece had been sent to retain Miss Wells's valuable business. CShe had purchased one Easter lily a year for her tiance of long standingj Maude was immediately discharged. Be- fore she left, however, Mr. Jackson, receiver of the annual Easter lily, entered in a. rage, prepared to give his rival his quietus. By skilful maneuvering Maude re- conciled the two, and a wedding was arranged, though Miss Wells nearly fainted at the suddenness of the prospect. A huge order for their wedding flowers placed with Maude, reinstated her in the good graces of Mr. Slovsky. Virginia Waugh as Maude, the erude but kind hearted shop girl, played her part with a wealth of slang and mueh eloquence of shoulders. Mr. Slovsky, pro- prietor of the tlorist shop, was portrayed admirably by Merle Hebbard as the typical penny-pinching shop owner. Ruth Westrope as Miss Wells quickly won the sympathy of the audience which was relieved to see Maude give her a taste of real romanee. Jere Mickel, Mr. Jaekson, was very realistic as the long indifferent fiance who became suddenly interested, and anxious to rush the wedding when Maude created a rival. As Henry, the exceedingly lazy office boy, Harold Hildreth was convincingly disgusted with Maude beeause of her sentimentality. --154- ifima T Patna .1 H One might understand that matrimonial troubles could easily be caused by an overabundance of any food, but that a normal husband should insist upon having lima beans three times a day for tln'ee hundred and sixty-tive days in a year is quite inconceivable. Lima Beans presented a man with just such taste. When his bride of a week attempted to vary the menu from lima to string beans, dire were the consequences. A quarrel followed and he left in a rage. As the wife sat shed- ding tears over the despised Hlong, lean, lanky, slippery, throat scratching cada- verous string beans, an Italian vegetable peddler passed by. Seizing the chance to placate her irate husband, the young wife bought some lima beans. Somewhat cheered, she began to prepare them for dinner. When her husband returned he was penitent and promised to eat string beans ad intinitum if she would forgive him. His discovery that she was preparing lima beans effectually restored his good humor and the reconciliation was complete. Thelma Sexton made a charming wife who was very anxious to satisfy her husband's appetite. Keith Folger, as her husband, discoursed feelingly about the creamy, succulent, queen of vegetables. Raymond McMahon's off stage imita- tion of an Italian vegetable man added a touch of realism. The presentation of this clever bit of comedy spoke well for the ability of the winter senior class. The play was given as part of the program on this class day. The cast : I Thelma Sexton ...... ,............ T he wife Keith Folger ................ .......................

Indeed, the name of the comedy, Where But in America, tittingly applied to every phase of the entire senior day. The curtain rose o11 a typical American dining room, with a charming young matron presiding at her delightfully appointed dinner table. She and her husband were discussing a change in residence, which, it developed, the family expected to make. The only obstacle was Ililda, the maid, whose capricious whim, represen- tative of those of her fellow maids, might induce her to leave if the task of .mov- ing were proposed to her. Blythe Bailey, as Mrs. Espenhayne, portrayed the part of the young wife in an exceptional manner, interrupting her talk of moving, at the appearance of Hilda, to gossip racingly of a recent party, and becoming convincingly distracted at her husband's antics while Hilda talked to her beau and the family waited for dinner. Ralph Mcfioogan, in the part of the thoroughly American Mr. Espenhayne, suc- ceeded in keeping his audience amused, during a long pause in the conversation, by the various devices with which he beguiled the tedium of waiting for the roast. Doris Trott interpreted the part of the Swedish maid, llilda, who with her low tones and impassive countenance, was yet the intiexible mistress of the destinies of the family. Her deliberate announcement. of her engagement to a wealthy con- tractor, whom the Espenhaynes hoped to secure to build their new home, brought out the reason for the naming of the play. -155- lnder the direetion ot Mrs. l1llC1lE' l oster and Mrs. llenore Ularlc, the east worked valiantly and to good purpose during the week prec-eding the presentation. Vrowded out ot' the auditorium hy other performers, the group introdueed into the hotany laboratory the affairs of Holm and 'tM0lly . Miss Nellie Ulark and Miss tloldie Applegate, elass sponsors, tool: over the mat- ter of properties, and dressed the stage with real eleganee.

Iris lludden went through many anties to demonstrate the vivaeity and enthusiasm as well as the dramatic ahility of the Mummers. Alhion Speier and Douglass tlrr represented the Forum hy a. vigorous debate in panto- mime. Martha Fiegenlmaum in eap and gown, very learned and studious, exempli- fied the Writers eluh. By the enthusiastie response of the student hody to the yells that were given as a eonelusion to the program, one was eonvineed that ll. ll.

Ferguson, musie in the Lineoln schools has grown from a small institution to an unusually large one. He came to liin- eoln in 1918 as a supervisor of music in the Lincoln publie schools. lfnder his di- reetion the first glee elub and chorus classes were organized, and under his direction they have in five years become essentials in the school life of Lincoln high. Operas had been given on several occa- sions but not until Mr. Ferguson came were they an annual event. The first was Pirtafore, which was followed by The Fire Prince, The Mikado, Captain Crossbohes and The Quaker Girl. Mid-year concerts have found a place on the annual calendar of Lincoln high school since the coming of Mr. Ferguson. The splendid cantata work exhibited in them has richly de- served the praise given it. Mr. Ferguson does not believe in all work and no play. He knows when to be serious and when to jest, and it is his good humor that has led students to call him l ergie.,' More than that he enters into other activities with the same spirit with whieh he goes into his work. A football game or an athletic' assembly would hardly be natural without the music master to put some ginger into the songs and yells. Nor would the annual Christmas assemblies of the Urpheons be complete without Mr. Ferguson to introduce the numbers and somehow impart the spirit of the program to the students. I he C5122 Gtluh Clive me no lyric melody, No nymph or shepherds roundelayg The time has passed for youthful play-- l ull chested song now let it be. So it is with the glee clubs. Meeting separately the first semester no great. work is taken up, although they feel much is accomplished during that time. The girls sang for the VVoman's elub and for assemblyg the boys sang for the Rotary club, the Kiwanis elub, and the assembly, and both elubs sang for the mid-year eoneert, and at all places they were reeeived with the greatest favor. It is during the seeond semester when the clubs combine that they really be- gin to work and produce their Hfull chested song. Because a carnival was impossible this semester, the glee clubs did not pre-- pare a minstrel show as has been the custom. They began work the first of the semester on a difficult and also very elever eomie opera, The Quaker Girl, a New York production, with scenes laid in England and France.

This opera has never before been produced by amateurs in the middle west. A glance at the plot shows the possibilities for quaint cos- tnming and effective staging. Prudence, a Quaker girl, casts in her lot with that of Princess Mathilde, an exiled Bonapartist, and is abandoned by her people for so forgetting her upbring- ing. This affords lively staging possibilities in the first act where a denture gray Quaker house on one side of the stage looks in shocked surprise at the noisy inn of the village revellers across the way. The scenery for this act is a familiar set rejuvenated, but that for the second and third acts is absolutely new. Aunique bridge entrance promises to be one of the most attractive features of the initial act.

In the second semester, when the girls and boys glee clubs combine into the opera club, the junior glee club is formed from the excess of ex- cellent material in the girls glee club. The club is composed largely of underclass girls in order that they may derive the benefit of further training before they ap- pear'in the opera. There are fifty girls in the club this year. The presentation of an operetta, The Rivals, was the most important thing the girls attempted this year. It was given as a matinee May 18 and its unques- tioned success spoke well for the ability of the girls. The operetta matinee promises to become an annual event. with a unique place in the school. The girls sang at a number of affairs both in school and out. Among these was the G. A. R. convention at the eity auditorium. Mrs. Hazel Nohavek is the director of the club a11d the success of the past year is largely due to her contagious enthusiasm and hard work.

At least once each year this war spirit. is brought back forcibly to Lincoln high school in the form of an army sing. Through the efforts of ll. O.. Ferguson the school secured fifteen hundred army song books three years ago. These small brown pamphlets are no longer printed and are doubly prized by Lincoln high school for that reason. XVith Mr. Ferguson to lead and the theme of the songs to take their minds from themselves the students reach a standard in chorus work which is perhaps unex- -161- eelled at any other time. Une reason for this is that apparently every student in the auditorium sings. A The program this year was started with Pack Up Your Troubles with the sehool at-ting out the ehorus, Hsmile, smile, smile, instead of singing it. The re- sult was that the students put aside their troubles, at least temporarily, for what has liineoln high to frown or look worried about when she thinks of the situation whieh confronted the soldiers for whom the song was written? Then eame Keep the Home Fires Burning and Long Long Trail followed by a duet of the two with half the sehool singing one song and half the other. Long Boy and The Last Long Mile, both illustrated by grotesque eartoons in the books, eame next. A Little Gray Home in the West, for whieh Nebraskans have a peeuliarly possessive regard, was ineluded at the request of Mr. Shep- herd. Stars and Stripes Foretfer furnished the patriotie note and Taps eon- eluded the program. lt is not so much any amount of harmony or beauty of tone but the feeling ot' good will and eloser kinship that makes army sings'f' memorable in ltineoln high sehool. illHih- Par Glnnreri The fifth animal mid-year eoneert was sueeessfully given under the auspices ot' the Urpheons January 20. The nine hundred students who took part represented the tive musieal organizations of the sehool, the glee elubs, the band, the prepara- tory band, the orehestra, the preparatory orehestra. The 1-horns and glee elubs were direeted by ll. O. Ferguson, who also indireetly supervised the other organi- zations. The Deacon's Masterpiece, a eantata, with words from Oliver Wendell Holmes poem, The One H088 Shay, and musical arrangement by Perey ldleteher, sung by eight hundred mixed voiees of the liineoln high sehool chorus classes, was the main feature of the evening. This eantata was the most diliieult ever attempted by the high sehool ehorus classes. When the eurtain rose some five hundred students were seated on the risers and on the stage, all members of the tirst, third and fourth period ehorus elasses and the glee clubs. This group sang the first movement, The building of the shay. The second was sung by the premier artists quar- tet eomposed of Vera Augusta Upson, sopranog Mrs. I . tl. Sehlegel, eontralto: Parvin Witte, tenor, and ll. O. Ferguson, baritone. After a short intermission the eurtain rose with three hundred different singers on the stage, members of the first and fifth chorus elasses and the glee elub, who sang the third movement, The end of the shay. The remainder of the program eonsisted of seleetions by the band whieh ap- peared in uniform. It played The Light Cavalry O11e'Vtu7'e, by Von Suppe. Even- ing Star, by Wagner, was the seeond number, with trombone aeeompaniment by Vernon Conover. American Patrol, by Meaeham, was the last number of their program. The orehestra played the overture from Don Juan, by Mozart, and the Andante from the Snrpfr'tse Symphony, by Hayden, and Hungarian Dance. The boys glee elub sang three seleetions, Thy Tronbadours, by Edward J. Walt, A Toast, by Trinkhaus, and Heart of Mine, by Smythe. The girls glee elub eompared well with the boys glee elub in their presentation of the Minuet, by leioeeherini, Noonticle Rest by the River, by Elgar. In eonelusion Koby Sirinsky gave two violin numbers, Romance in E Flat, by Rubenstein, and Minuet in G, by Beethoven, whieh were followed by two solos, The Boat, a song written by Grieg, and Butterflies, by Linn Seiler, sung by Hlanehe Martz. -162- 1 he Qhrhratraa So impressive an organization has the first orehestra with its titty-one menu- bers beeome that it is the inspiration for the smaller group in the preparatory orehestra to work into, and the tield from whit-li the theatre oreliestra is reeruited liven students and taeulty members, long at-eustomed to the strains pouring from the auditorium during praetiee, yet pause outside the door to listen as il' at a real pertormanee. Although a eomparatively new organization, the theatre orvhestra is well started toward the status of a veteran organization in liineoln high st-hool. At first it consisted of sixteen pieces, but this year it was eut down to eight pier-es to make it as nearly a regulation theatre orehestra as possible. The orehestra has been very sueeesstul throughout the year. It has played several times for events and programs outside ot the sm-hool. lt has supplied musie for all the elass plays and other theatrieals in liineoln high sehool, for several as- semblies and has filled one out-of-town engagement. The members of the orc-hestra are: Koby Sirinsky-violin-direm-tor liella Nic-hols-bass viol Marie Lintt-piano Loyal Bagley-elarinet Orlo Gaines-trumpet Vlaire Johnson-tlute Vernon Conover-trombone Keith Miller-drums The buteher, the baker, and the eandlestiek maker, all prepared themselves t'0r the plaees they were to till, in the same way the members of the preparatory orc-hestra prepare themselves, eaeh one praetieing to perfeet himself, for a plaee in the advaneed orehestra. The stepping stone to the advanced orchestra eould easily be the slogan of the preparatory orehestra. Just as an apprentiee some day beeomes a skilled workman, and his own mas- ter, so the members of the preparatory orehestra serve an apprentieeship in that organization, until they have mastered the technique ol' their instruments well enough to beeome members of the advaneed orehestra. The preparatory orehestra plays praetieally the same material now that the advaneed orehestra played sev- eral years agog a far-t which would prove that the advanced orehestra. is now playing more dilifieult musie than ever before, and that the preparatory orehestra has made a eorresponding step forward. Une does not usually beeome a member of the advaneed orehestra without previous experienee in the preparatory organ- ization. ln short, the work in the preparatory orehestra is the stepping stone to the work in the advaneed orehestra. -163- L in iii i . ...X I he Zianh The Sousa, Gilmore and Innes bands have no greater ambitions than the Lin- coln high school band under the capable leadership of Charles B. Righter, Jr. The band's popularity is attested by the fact that it has been called upon to play by business clubs of the city such as the Kiwanis, Rotary and The Chamber of Com- merce. It was also in demand to accompany the football team to Beatrice where its efforts were largely responsible for the team's victory at this place. Besides participating in athletic assemblies and making pulses beat double time by their activities along the side lines at the football games, the band presented a fine program of its own in assembly and gave some splendid numbers for the mid-year concert. There are forty-eight boys in this years line-up in contrast. to fifty-tive last year. Further evidence of the popularity of this organization was the appearance of new uniforms, which were furnished by the united efforts of the various musical organizations of Lincoln high. The officers are elected by the members of the band and they rank with the same degree as the officers of a martial band. Each officer has his specific duties. Perhaps the heaviest office of all is that of first sergeant, who acts as drum major. Marvin Styer has proved his ability to such an extent that he has held that posi- tion for four semesters. Marvin has full charge of the band when it is on parade. The officers for this year are as follows: First semester Second semester Vernon Conover ......... ..... t Iaptain ....... .......

The Art club was by no means slow in beginning its career. It has not as yet reached its climax, but has gone far past the opening acts. The programs are lively, since the club members make the most of their op- portunities. Last semester a business session, a visit to a nation famous private art collection and a lecture on the pictures there, a hayrack ride and a Weiner roast were crowded i11to one meeting. Perhaps it was quite a bit of a good thing for one time but the weariness next day served only to sweeten memories of the pleas- ant afternoon. During the same semester three chalk talks were delivered, two of which were by outstanding individuals in their profession. The club also heard lectures by such leading artists of Lincoln as Miss Bernice Branson and Paul Laune. Occasionally, students in the organizations who have other talents have entertained the club with vocal or instrumental solos. Once when no special pro- gram was planned Can unusual circumstancej Vernon Conover and Mr. Righter could find no place to practice except in the room which the club occupied so they were welcomed as the program. Some of the members will only know when they read this that that particular meeting was not planned nor that for the encore the musicians practiced the same piece over. Vllhen the Art club asks for outside aid though it is for some purpose connected with their art, something that will give practical information. The meetings are held semi-monthly usually in room 400, though it is true Park Berry's easel had to be conveyed up and down stairs from the third floor to the fourth and thence to the second several times before a room was found with a piano in order that music might be had after the chalk talk. Recently mem- bers have given reports on noted artists and sculptors. The club has at times ad- journed to the girls gymnasium for dancing and refreslnnents. Nevertheless, the members do not look after their own immediate interests all the time. For two years the Art club has sponsored the sale of Friends of Fine Arts tickets in Lin- coln high school for Lincoln exhibitions, and has planned other exhibits. -165- Elhr Glhvmiatrg Glluh To interest students in the study of the seienees, particularly ehemistry, is the purpose of the chemistry club. It was with this in mind that a series of talks on such subjects as Explosives, Radium, The Diamond Mines of South Africa, and The Elements of the Sim and Stews have been given this year. The club has met regularly every other week, and its members have not failed to carry away with them a deeper interest, a deeper respect for scientific truths. Explosives seemed a good topic for the tirst program of the year and Dr. Saul Arenson proved to be an able speaker on the subject. Questions and explana- tions followed his discussion. Professor Cl. li. D. Swezey spolie on The EleWLent8 of the Sun and Stars at a later meeting. The use of the spectrascope and the mystery of the other planets were woven together in Professor Swezey's talk. A little of the history of diamond mines in South Afriea was told in an interesting talk by Dr. Ernest Anderson. This was followed by a discussion of the relation of chemistry to biology by Dr. F. D. Barker. Radium, a subject which is at- tracting the attention of the universe, was presented by Professor F. NV. Vpson at one of the meetings. Fred lfunke furnished the only student program of the year with a tall: on photography which he is unusually well prepared to discuss. Much of the success of the club is due to Miss Mariel Here, the sponsor. Her great knowledge of students and desire to interest them in chemistry have created an atmosphere of splendid good fellowship in the club. Miss Here organized the lirst chemistry club in 1913. Sinee then it has been organized anew each year by the studentsthemselves. There are no regular dues, and anyone interested in chemistry may beeome a member by attending three meet- ings. The officers are: President ..,......,, .,... l 'aul Lessenhop Vice-president ..... George Woodle Secretary ..,... ....... I ris Ludden -1G6- 1 he Zlinrnm Forum! What a world of meaning lies hidden in that word! To the uninitiated it suggests, perhaps, Home-tfieero-crumbling pillars. To a l orumite it signi- fies, first of all a. nerve-racking try-out, followed by hours of suspense, then a feel-- ing of relief and pride when he is proclaimed a member. After that it means a fine program every other Thursday evening, a Christmas party, a banquet, a picnic, and above all, that. intangible feeling of exhilaration known as l+'orum spirit. This year the club was divided for purposes of debate, into two sides, captained by Hugh Cox and Albion Speier. These sides matched wits land tonguesb in a series of debates, on such subjects as the Ku Klux Klan, Philippine independence, and the farmer bloc. ln each case the decision was rendered in favor of llugh l'ox,s side. Naturally, the other side was indignant, charging the winners with bribing the judges, and other impious practices. As other words failed to settle the matter, a furious battle was waged. Albion Speier's side showed its unmistak- able superiority in three legged races, potato races, and nail driving contests. The l orum does not forget its alumni. This year, as before, one meeting was held in honor of former members, that they might compare the present club with the one they knew in the good old days. ln order that prospective members might not be entirely ignorant of the work and aims of the Forum, a short time before the try-outs an open meeting was held, which all students of the school were invited to attend. Be it known to its credit, that crimes committed by its members are not over- looked by the Forum. In a trial conducted bythe club, J. Blackman was brought to justice for murdering an innocent ostrich. The Christmas party was a continuation of the policy of the Forum to eom- bine work and play. A beautiful musical program was followed by extemporane- ous recitations of first, pieces . Then there were a group of pantomimes, gifts, games, dancing, popcorn balls and apples to complete an evening of Forum enjoy- ment. By no means bent entirely on having a good time, the members keep before them constantly the purpose for which the l orum was organized, namely, to foster and promote debate and the forensie arts in Lincoln high school. VVith this in mind the program committee seeured Professor M. M. Fogg to speak on debate and Professor Gregg to explain parliamentary rules of order. Among the most interesting programs of the year was that presented by the Palladian Society of the university, an organization with much the same aims as -167- , , the Forum. Then there was the banquet, with its toasts in which were blended the serious and the jest, and the picnic, with its traditional jolly time. The l orum owes a debt of gratitude to its sponsors, Miss Margaret Proctor and Miss l-Birdie Scott, for their inspiration and aid in carrying on the club through a successful year.

Yet when one remembers that the freshman class is the only class in which the girls organize for the sole purpose of getting acquainted and ad- justed to high school life, and that the good times of the freshman girls club are heralded far and near by its ardent champions, it really isn't. such a trying thing to be a freshman, after all. Their meetings are held on alternate Thursdays at which varied and interest- ing programs are presented. Most often the members entertain themselves, but workers from the Y. W. C. A. sometimes give interesting talks, or girl reserves from the grade schools aid in entertaining their older sisters. Miss Marian Wy- man, girls work secretary of the Y. W. C. A., imparted some of her boundless enthus- iasm to the freshman girls in an interesting lecture this semester. The programs end with a social hour, during which the girls are given an opportunity to be- come better acquainted with each other. At the parties which are held several times a year the members concern them- selves strictly with having a rollicking time- Only that and nothing moref' The girl reserves from Whittier did their share in making lively the party held this semester by presenting a delightful little sketch, Two Sisters, Dream, in the auditorium. A concert solo and aesthetic dancing were other features of this part of the entertainment after which the audience adjourned to the gymnasium for the usual refreshments. One of the most enjoyable evenings the girls spent this semester was the night ot' the Y. VV. C. A. supper down town. The girls prepared their own supper, but as yet, no cases of dyspepsia have been reported. -IGS- Although the members of tl1e elub believe implicitly in the joy of livi11g, the elub is by no means a frivolous 0l'g'lllliZ21ii0ll.A.1I is tl1e outgrowth of tl1e girl re- serves of grade sehools, Zllld a preparation for tl1e student elub ot' l1igl1 sehool.

The club was organized shortly before Thanksgiving, and at once became ae- tive. Three baskets of food were filled and given out to needy families by the girls. ln continuation of this work a Christmas party for over one hundred chil- dren who might not see Santa lflaus elsewhere was given at Bancroft school. Gifts both useful and amusing and a general playtime for all went to make up the pro- gram of the party. After lfhristmas the girls started a program which involved a lively wielding of needles. The first problem attempted was the making of two gingham dresses which were also used for charitable purposes. A complete layette was designed and made entirely by the girls. The final project was the making of a comforter which went to charity. All of the work on these pieces was done at the weekly meetings by the girls themselves under the supervision of their sponsors, Miss Josephine Ballard and Bliss Hulda Breidstadt. The materials used were purchased by the elub with the proceeds of numerous candy sales. A holly sale in the downtown stores also brought in a considerable sum during the holidays. tlccasional good times for the members themselves have a place on the club calendar. A weiner roast and a party at the home of one of the members served this purpose this year. Membership in the club is open to any girl who has at any time been regis- tered in textile classes.

Sinn-e tiueney in speaking l reneh, is the objet-t.of the 1-lub the use of l reneh is enrouraged in various ways. To serve the double purpose ot' giving a better understanding of the language and at the same time provide entertainment, short plays have geen given, l renf-li songs sung and eonversational games played. The easts for the plays have usual- ly been rhosen by the l renr-li teaehers, but on one oeeasion eompetitive try-outs were used as a means of seleetion. The first meeting was a business meeting held to seleet oftieers for the elub. A president, vire-president, seeretary and editor were eleeted. The president and vire-president in eonsultation with the teaehers deeide on the programs. The tirst play, given under the dirertion of Miss Annetta Sprung, was ealled Le Surprise d' Isidore. A short synopsis of the play was given in English so that those present eould eateh the meaning and understand better. Short monologues were given before the play began. Musir and games followed. The set-ond program was given by Mrs. Bernice Tebbetts and was ralled Treize Cl Table. The artion of this play renters about the old superstition that it is bad luek to eat at a table at whieh there are thirteen people. After the play, short dialogues were given, and as a part of the entertainment, Mother Goose rhymes were put into l renrh. The next program was sponsored by Miss Yaleria Bonnell. The story pre- sented was Bairbe-Bleue and in addition two interesting talks were given on i'il'6llt'll eustoms and l reneh operas. At the last program of the year, under the direetion of Miss lfllsie Rokahr, a play, Sylvie, and several musiral seleetions from lfreneh eomposers with very brief sketrhes of their lives were presented. During the semester about thirty-tive students altogether have partieipated in these little plays. The membership is open to any student who has had one year of Freneh. The meetings are held the third Wednesday of the month at 7:30. About forty students took advantage of the opportunity offered to perfeet them- selves in l reneh and have attended every meeting. Uhr Evtuilrnt Glluh The Student elub is one of the largest in liineoln high, and is open to all girls in the sophomore, junior and senior elasses. There are no try-outs for membership, if her twenty-tive rents for dues tind themselves regularly, onre a semester, in the treasm-er's books, the girl is a full-fledged member. Many of the good times the elub has enjoyed during the past year have been due to the sponsors, Mrs. Hose Iii. Thomas, Mrs. Berniee Tebbetts, and Miss Mar- ian Wyman, and to the ofheers of the rlub, who have shown themselves thorough- ly capable. Iris liudden, president, Marjorie Stuff, viee president, Katherine Hoeh- reiter, seeretary, and Dorothy Thomas, treasurer, are now the offieers of the elub. The aim of the Student elub is to maintain a high moral standard among its members, and to extend among others its t'hristian spirit of helpfulness. For this reason the girls take an aetive part in the Y. W. C. A. work, for to this organiza- tion this elub is an auxiliary. Meetings are held every other Tuesday. The programs eonsist of musieal seler- tions and readings often given by the members of the elub themselves. Ueeasionally talks are given by men or women outside of sehool. Workers in the Y. VV. U. A. also give very interesting and helpful talks to the girls. -471- Ehv illlummerz It is interesting to note that the name, Mummers, was taken from the tif- teenth eentury players who at-ted in pantomime. This art, however, is only one of the phases of dramaties whieh the Lineoln high sehool Mummers study. The ehief aim of the elub is to become so skilled in the art of portraying life as in- terpreted by the playwrights that it will prove a real pleasure to an audience to wateh the performanee. In keeping with the purpose of the elub, the Mummers annually present a play of three or four aets. The splendid standard set by The Chinese Lomtern, You Never Can Tell, and The Road to Yesterday, was maintained by the three-at-t drama, Tillie, given on Deeember 9. Iris liudden and Albion Speier in the lead- ing roles were exeellent examples of the unusual training given them by Mrs. liueile Foster, dramatic eoaeh. In addition to the big play the Munmers prepared The Fl0riSt'S Shop and Dame Greel O' P0'1 Ifla7'Ld Town for assembly programs. The FZOMSVS Shop was repeated before the visiting basketball teams at the time of the tournament. The c-lub aided the juniors in entertaining the winter seniors by presenting Wurzel Flummery, a one-at-t eomedy, at the junior-senior. Perhaps the most noteworthy meeting of the year was the one at which lflraneis X, Bushman and I-Severly Bayne spoke before the members and their friends. This message, straight from stage land, was sincere and tangible enough to be of real help. The sponsors of the 1-lub are Mrs. U. L. Clark and Miss Ceeelia Foster. The Mummers are indebted to these sponsors and to Miss Florenee Grimm, who served for a short time, for the work and time, and most of all, for the inspiration they have given to all members of the f-lub. Mrs. Lueile Foster has assisted them also by eoaehing all of their plays. The officers for this semester are: President ................ ....... ............. J 1 llius Cochran Vive-president .......

Assembly programs, eoneerts, the opera, band and orchestra programs, all worthy musieal enterprises-the sehool owes many of them, direetly or indireetly to the lilrpheons. As musie, after food, eloth- ing and shelter, is the most important thing in life, so a musieal organization is important in the life of a high sehool. The elub was started in 1918 and is spon- sored by Miss Luey Haywood and ll. 0. l erguson. The Urpheons new slogan, Quality and Quantityt' has been well earried out. The elub now has an ac-tive membership of one lnmdred thirty-tive. As for quality-everyone knows the high standards that the elub maintains. Try-outs, whieh are judged by a eommittee of members and sponsors, are held twiee a se111ester. Perhaps one reason the Urpheons has sueh a large enrollment is because members of the glee elubs, first band, first orehestra, and junior glee elub, auto- matieally beeome members by paying their dues. That is also the reason the elub has progressed so far, and its interests are so varied. Clever programs are given by the members at the meetings, whieh are held every other Monday. This year the Orpheons have aeeoneplished something they have planned to do for some time, in taet ever sinee the elub was organized. The entire high sc-bool has been able to enjoy this eticort of the Urpheons for who has not enjoyed seeing the members of the Lineoln high sehool band resplendent in band eaps, blue eoats and white trousers? While on parade this band indeed resembles a. martial band. The Urpheons are not satisti -T t fc o stop here, however, for now it is rumored that they plan to buy a grand piano for the sehool. No wonder this elub grows for it assumes greater responsibilities eaeh year and the high ideals the r-lub maintains speak well tor the t'uture history ot' the Orpheons. -173+ Set belonging to Ted and George Johnson Rabin Glluh The newest organization in the sehool, the Radio elub, was middle of this semester and has not yet had time to make itself known to the stu- dents of the high sc-hool. Sixty-eight boys have registered for the elub and next yfezrvffis hoped to inerease this number to about seventy-tive. The purpose of the elub, as expressed in the constitution, is to exchange ideas on radio, to help earry out the government laws relating to radio, and to promote the general advaneement of wireless in Lineoln high school, The elub is looking forward to the time when enough money can be raised so that an onttit can be purehased for the sehool. When sueh an outtit is installed it will be possible for wireless eoneerts and leetures to be heard in assembly. With this as their goal the Radio elub is looking forward to a happy future. started about the ' hr Qnunh I ahlrf ll lvl Vllhenee eomes that joyful burst of laughter and song? The normal ar ' .

ELI Sg 3r sident MADE IN LINCOLN BY HOME TALENT GILLEN 6: BONEY LINCOLN, NEBRASKA GOOD CANDY MAKERS -19 i I am personally acquainted with an old rancher who owns a wonderful mule. I used the word wonderful advisedly, for this mule can unlock and undo any gate on that ranch. Gates in this mule's life mean absolutely nothing. He opens them all. No gate is too complicated for him to open. An effort at one time was made to baffle this mule by sending away to a mail order house for gates. The gates ar- rived, and were set up, but the mule went through them as easily as he did a home-made gate. In fact he seemed to take a sort of pleasure in unlocking these imported gates. The owner of this mule declares that one day when the mule was hungry he came to the kitchen door, unlocked and opened the door, and stuck his head inside and brayed, thereby giving notice that he desired to be fed. More- over, this owner further asserts that he has to keep the mule penned up on the ranch, for fear he will get loose, walk into town, enter the bank, work the com- bination on the safe and rob the vault. For this, however, I cannot vouch. When a horse becomes entangled in a barbwire fense he loses his wits. He jumps, and twists, and jerks, cutting himself and destroying the fence. By the time you come to his rescue the fence is a total loss and the horse is no good for some time to come. Ilowever, consider the mule. The mule does not often be- come entangled in the fence in the first place, but if he 'does he goes about care- , , Lincoln Bu iness Qollege Fully Accredited by National Association of Accredited Commercial Schools ,.. , .. ..

There is no better proof of the high grade mentality of the mule than his abil- ity to get along with the Mexican and the Indian. It does not require much brain work to work for a man who is your intellectual superior. But it does demand in- telligence to work for some one who is not your intellectual equal. When a mule works for a Mexican or an Indian he not only does the physical labor but he does the brain work as well. In the case of the dog, there is no doubt that the mule has him bested. I am a fond admirer of dogs but I would not for a. moment put them in the same class with the mule. When you speak to a dog the dog looks pleased. Ile wags his tail. Can you fancy a mule doing an insane thing like that I? Certainly not. The mule regards you with a certain degree of blase interest and then ignores your presence. Ile says plainly, Who is this person O! Ilve never been introduced. There are those who hold that this is not a sign of intelligence, but they forget that to become friendly with a stranger in mule circles simply isn't done. Perhaps the greatest difference in the dog and the mule is in their display of emotions. VVhen -a dog has any emotions he tells the world about them. The mule does not.

At a word from Mr. Sorensen the game be- gan. ltlaeh one began to dig on his seetion plying his knife as rapidly as possible in order to finish first. Mr. Sorensen soon stopped to mop his perspiring brow with a huge handkerehief. Next he took a long draught from the hose nearby provided for that purpose. Then he returned to the eontest apparently greatly refreshed. One of the men ealled Earl was now forging ahead rapidly.

They were nearing the finish now, Joe in the lead, Mr. Sorensen set-ond and the rest hopelessly in the rear. The stands were in an uproar, pleading, shout- ing, eneouraging their favorite to win. lt was apparent that neither eould last. mueh longer. Both were short of wind and puffing like steam engines.

Tl1e part. of Dear Teacher was taken by Joy Mickel.

Mr. Browne was highly praised for urging boys to bid the world good bye and enter the olympies in order to get a free passport to the halls of Valhalla. The juniors are very worried over the sudden demise of Skipper Olds whom they expeeted to earry off all honors in every event, espeeially in the girls 5,280 yard dash. When asked who would take the plaee of Skipper the junior ser- geant-at-arms def-lared, 1 swear by my best girl that I am sore distressed but, Cpointing to group of seniorsj they shall not defeat us! l already have a man pieked for Olds' plat-e, but I shall not divulge his name. lle is too timid.

Ctlswald Black, himself, is the only person I know of who does not think he deserves the title of cartoonist.j While there, l saw him draw half of his weekly Here in Lincoln, which appeared in the Lincoln Daily Star several weeks ago. lle had worked all 11ight, as is his custom on Fridays, and would make up his sleep on Sunday Cnot including the time spent at churchl. llc was lingering some cuts and photographs from his extensive morgne when l entered. The morgue, a tile of all kinds of clippings, photographs, and sketches oi' objects and people, to be used as reference, is a vital necessity in this work, es- pecially to political and local cartoonists.

Finally, he chose two of Charlie Lord, taken at intervals of several years. lle asked me if, while he was thinking up an idea, 1 would mind looking at some Passing Shows, which are the full page Columbus local cartoons by William Ireland. Oz tries to follow these as an example for his Here in Lin- coln. Ile hopes that some time, when the Staff' erects its new building on 12th and M streets, they will have their own color department. which will enable him io have his cartoons in color, like those of Ireland and of the comic supplements. I had scarcely looked at two of 1reland's pictures when 1 was told that l could watch him. lle had fully sketched in Things we never expect to see and the remarkable part, besides the short time he took to draw it, was that in his cartoon of Mr. Lord, who lives just back of the Blacks, the full side view he used was ditferent from each of the photographed views. For the inquisitive reporter trying to obtain an interview from the automobile dealer Oz used no reference material whatever. When the sketch was complete, he began to ink it in with a. fairly line pen which he jokingly admits sticks in the 'floor when he drops it. He intends to have a rug on the floor soon, to drop his pens on. He uses the ink, as well as the pencil, with remarkable rapidity. 1 asked him if he were going to put in anything about Alfred Bel-kman's fifty dollar bill which he had shown me earlier in the week.
