Preface Before you turn these pages, think what has been the happiest occasion of your high school life. Has it been a certain class, the friendship of a faculty member, a play, the actual beauty of the building-with its long halls and stairways pulsing with student life for nearly eight hours each day? When you have read the book from end to end and laid it open to the signatures of your friends, if you have not found so much as an allusion to the cherished part of your career, then we have failed in bringing to you the story of Lincoln high school-1937. We hope that it will present a fresh picture to your mind each time you return to it. Conienls INTRODUCTION Dedication . . Administration . In Memoriam . FACULTY . . SENIORS .....

To the joy of every organization in school, she has main- tained the Advocate's generous policy of giving to each all the publicity it de- serves. To a remarkable degree she inspires every pupil to do his best, what- ever it is. She has become, in the minds of all who know her, a keen and vibrant personality. With appreciation and ad- miration, we dedicate this book to Miss Belle Farman. W-lv-. . V W' Exactly a century ago Horace Mann began his work. as secretary of the Massachusetts State board of education. In this position he envisioned the possibilities of public education, and made prac- tical the ideal that boys and girls are entitled to an opportunity to make the most of themselves. Today institutions like Lincoln high school and publications like the 1937 Links are living ex- pressions of this ideal. Congratulations to the Class of 1937. 4471'- A7 Your Links is the net which will assist you, in future years, to catch again the many delightful rainbow-hued memories of high school life, memories which might otherwise escape and be forever lost.

It is much to their credit that for the most part they meet responsibilities, respect the rights of others and act with fairness and good taste in their dealings with one another. WAQZL.. o an Another chapter has been written in the history of Lincoln high school. Another group of boys and girls has upheld in a splendid way its tradi- tions. As they scan the pages of this Links, they can justly be proud of the part they have had in making the life of the school meaningful, not only for themselves, but for others. TY 14 Q kg f , 1. 65 .

When she was made sponsor, she took hold of the task in her usual quiet and unassuming way. She possesses qualities that enable her to obtain utmost coopera- tion from teachers, parents and students alike. She is a scholar, musician and friend Whom we are proud to acknowledge. Miss Elsie Rokahr Miss Rokahr has again as class sponsor rendered to students of Lincoln high school a great service. By her-quiet efficiency and scholarly diplomacy she has helped the class to success in its many undertakings. Stu- dents Who have studied foreign language in her classes have gained a rich background of the fundamentals and will carry pleasant memories of this competent instructor. 23 .i Senior Sponsors 'Psa N v in 1 lj ...,,,..-..-T 'S j o Class Hlslor As each September and January inevitably pre- sents itself, the Old Mill receives its cut of raw material. This latest product, we the class of '3 7, is not only up to standard, but has reached the pinnacle of the standards established by the classes of the past. During these three years we as a class have developed from mere children with meager am- bitions into a student body that is representative of the youth of today, embodying a thirst for knowledge of the cultural, technical and literary sciences. Coming from our respective junior high schools, we must have appeared a motley crew of im- petuous juveniles with naught but deviltry for our goal. The plant was prepared for us, however, and we were put through the first step in the pro- duction line. We were advised about curriculums and given an intelligence test. We came in two droves, our advance guard, the January seniors of '37, and the june group, about nine hundred in all. We were placed under the sponsorship of two resourceful and capable women, Miss Ethel Beattie and Miss Elsie Rokahr. During this first period of our high school life we heard much of such minor details as what are we planning to do in later life? However, we gave more serious thought to what we were going to wear at the sophomore party. This party was, by the way, full of humor and pathos. As it was for many of us our first taste of high school social life, I believe that some of us were overcome by ----THE LINKS 1937 -- 2 the weight of the affair and consequently clung tenaciously to the wall. Members of the sophomore cabinet for this class were jean Gosnell, William Weston, Helen Coffee, Elizabeth Groth, Bruce Robb, Dorothy Anderson, Ray Schrader and Homer Labovitz. Considering ourselves well established in high school by February, '35, we gloated with malign satisfaction over the class below us who were our inferiors by a whole semester. At this time the class was granted the right to hold an election of officers and the results were as follows: George Binger, president, Clyde Martz, vice-president, William Weston, secretary and Elizabeth Groth, treasurer. Now we were enjoying the benefits and pleasures of the various clubs that seemed to fit our re- spective inclinations. Those who would dabble in the sciences found a haven in the chemistry club and the Radiolinks and then there were those who would have gone on indefinitely putting mustaches on posters, if they had not found vent for their talent in the art club. Came the fall of '35, and we acclaimed William Kinnamon, president, George Binger, vice-presi- dentg Dorothy Anderson, secretary and Clyde Martz, treasurer. This year the attendance at school activities was greatly increased by the in- auguration of a new system, that of selling to the student body activity tickets with which they were able to enjoy the manifold pleasures of student activities at greater convenience and economy to all concerned. Athletic, dramatic and debating organizations made outstanding records of achievement, the class of '37 doing more than their part. In February, '3 6, Dorothy Anderson was elected to the omce of president. William Kinnamon took charge of the duties of vice-president with George Binger and Jack Hyland as treasurer and secretary respectively. In the dramatic limelight came the presentation of a weird and powerful mystery drama by the seniors, called The Green Ghost. Another dramatic high light, but in a lighter vein, was Dollars to Doughnuts, presented by the Mummers. This semester also saw us proudly marching to the field of blood and honor, the olympics. fWe lost.j There ensued on that day noble feats of strength and bravery, and the juniors failed by very few points to win the affair. With the advent of September, '36, we were all seniors and walked confidently into school with that Today I am a Man feeling. The officers for this semester were Virginia Westfall, president, Dorothy Anderson, vice- presidentg William Kinnamon, secretary, Henry Lorenz, treasurer for the January graduates while chosen to serve the June class at this time were I . --- THE LINKS 1937 Jean Gosnell as presidentg Arthur Adams, vice- presidentg Jack Hyland, secretary and William Weston, treasurer. Our class gave the annual senior assembly in November of this year, '36. The quite appro- priate theme of a ship was used to typify our journey through school. It was touched with sentiment, for soon some of us would be on the outside in other lines of endeavor. We gave as our dramatic offering Noel Coward's I'll Leave It to You, which was a dramatic and financial success. We watched the Mummers show, Daddies, and the juniors realize their dram- atic aspirations in a mystery thrill that made our scalps feel prickly for the rest of the year. The senior sermon for the January seniors was given by Rev. C. H. Walcott at The First Baptist Church. With that we bade a heartfelt farewell to a goodly portion of our classmates. For our last election of class officers in February of '37 we chose Arthur Adams, presidentg Jean Gosnell, vice-president, George Hulac, secretary and Calvin Rollins, treasurer. By this time our thoughts turned to such traditions as class colors, class party and class picnic. The Links office on the third floor began to take on an air of activity. We began to feel the thrill of accomplishment, for we had plans for doing all the little activities that go to make being a senior worth the waiting. For many of us this is a period of great decision. Matters of utmost importance to our futures must be decided. Shall I go on with my education and prepare for some specialized position or shall I take the chance of jumping into a job with com- paratively good future and requiring no great deal of additional training? To many of us the pros- pect of a salary lures us away from further education, but those with greater foresight can readily see that today the untrained worker must labor against greater odds than ever before, and that he has a very slight chance of doing more than barely managing a meager existence for himself and his family. This problem is in many cases solved by our curriculums which have pre- pared us for this most important decision. Senior speakers chosen on the basis of what they can assemble in a piece written during an hour in English ll classes represent their classmates at both the january and june commencements. Rep- resenting the January class were Dorothy Cook, speaking on the topic, Footprints of Aristotle, and Frank Roth, telling of New Trends in the Social Sciences. Speaking for our June class were Calvin Rollins, on his topic, Education and Democracy, and Gertrude McArthur, whose theme was New Frontiers. The student speakers for the class of '37 imparted thoughts that will remain with us for a good while because they struck deep. Many of us begin to look back, others steel themselves for more work. However, the majority S dxf? Z of us will admit that these have been the most important years of our lives and that the future holds little prospect for as much fun as we have enjoyed during our high school days. We now fully realize how great an influence a teacher may have over a pupil and we are thankful that the faculty of dear old Lincoln high school is of the highest type. In a ceremony unprecedented in the history of Lincoln high, the class of 1937 planted on the campus a tree to stand as a memorial to a teacher who had passed away leaving behind her thirty years of distinguished service in Lincoln schools, Miss Louise Miller, whom high school will re- member for her inspiring influence as an English teacher. Acting as master of ceremonies in his capacity of president, Arthur Adams gave a short dedicatory address, and the other class officers placed the earth around the roots of the young tree which is to stand for the spirit of Lincoln high's students and faculty for years to come. It is an epoch-making period in which men are bettering previously established marks in every line. The debate team engages in a heated battle of wits, and while we of the class of '37 are so engaged, the real thing is taking place with the peace of nations at stake. The football teams fight valiantly, charging toward their adversary's goal stripe simultaneously, the armies of nations go about similar maneuvers, but in no such care- free spirit of fair play, for their goal is not a white line but a bloody goal of military victory. We as a class are privileged in that we are study- ing at first hand what classes of the future will read about! Perhaps it would be more of a privilege to graduate from high school at a time when the world's society is more stable and not on the verge of revolutionary upsets. 25 1 -,,,,1: . L ,,,, v,,, , ,,4,.

The president of this student governmental organization was Kay Watson. The vice-president was Fred Metheneyg secretary, Bonnie Parsonsg treasurer, Ann Beard. In the latter part of the semester the president of the class moved away but remained president in name with an efficient vice-president in his place. This class is just getting into the saddle of high school activity, having spent two semesters in becoming familiar with the methods and opportunities of L.H.S., and is often said to be the most interesting segment of high school activity. h......L.g,.,.,, ,, ,, ,,,.,,,A,, ,.,, ., ,,.,,,M., Second Semester-19 3 6-3 7 Ann Beard Gertrude Wachter William Beckman Treasurer Fred Matheny Vice-president Kay Watson President Bonnie Parsons Secretary Officers THE INKS 1937 H.

They are, according to us of the class of '37, ultra green. Their sponsors are Miss Emma Beekmann and Miss Ruth Hall. They have appointed their cabinet: chairman, Jo- sephine Eastburng treasurer, Samuel Klippert and secretary, Harriet Carter. Other members of the cabinet are Charles Wheeler, Nancy Raymond and Marcus Poteet. This cabinet had charge of the publicity for the Open House for parents, Tues- day, May 4. Marcus Poteet announced the pro- gram over KFOR on the Lincoln schools program. For the unquestionable success of the affair the class of '40 may be given much credit. E r l i V l r l l l i E L...

Backed by the aid and experience of faculty advisers, students guide the destinies of these, making up the pages, writing the copy, handling the business and ad- vertising sides and helping to solve the numerous problems which necessarily arise in the course of their terms. Through their exertions on these publication staffs, many students have found themselves, continuing in journalism as a vocation. Others with no intention of entering this profession re- ceive training and experience that will be val- uable in making discriminating readers of publi- cations and hence more exacting citizens in a democracy. X s fl The Links Recorded for the years to come in the Links are the vital, delightful events of the high school year. Representative of so wide a scope of ac- tivities, it is fitting that the annual should be published by many hands, artists, camera and typewriting experts, editors and salesmen. Sophomores and juniors, heretofore neglected, now have their special section of home room pictures in the book. For the most part, the camera club directed the photography. The informal snapshot pages at the end of each section represent interesting side- lights of high school activities. Photography has also been used for the division sheets.

The new stream-lined heads were designed to allow more white space to show through. An abundance of Copy from would-be news hawks taking English 8 supplements the efforts and lightens the load considerably of the staff members, who are English 17 pupils. Financially the paper is aided by the English 16 classes, who sell advertising. Since the staff members are eligible for one semester only and staff positions are rotated every six weeks, interest is maintained and the paper gains in the way of new ideas. Heading the staff last semester were Clyde Martz, Edwin Wittenberg and Dean Pohlenz, managing editorsg and Virginia Thede, Shirley Polsky and Jean Simmons, news editors. Business manager was Ben Heard. Managing editors this semester have been Nancy Mauck, Edward Mc- Connell and Richard Yostg news editors, Betty Klingel, Frances Keefer and Gail Ferguson.

Pub- lished to furnish an outlet for literary talent, this magazine contains poetry, character sketches, short stories and essays written by Lincoln high school pupils. The cover, unusual in its lack of color, has a black background on which are arranged four white angels and the name, also in white. Brush drawings in black and white illustrate effectively some of the pieces written by the amateur Long- fellows and Shakespeares who contributed to this volume. The Slyle Card Polite society of Lincoln high school may not eject you completely if you use such words as guy , kid , bunch Cof personsj or eats fused as a nounj, but it definitely frowns on them, as well as others mentioned in the style card as not in good' use. This booklet contains, in' complete array for instant reference, examples of correct grammar, letter forms, written forms for book titles and musical terms. The style card, recently revised by the English department, is an extremely valu- able and necessary publication in a school with as many different teachers and textbooks as Lincoln high school.

Cather l Winifred Mayhew Tlnelhed and Black Handbook No longer does the sophomore roam the halls, searching for room 132B or the stairwells to the fourth floor, only to end by consulting some teacher or upperclassman. Such blows to his pride occur rarely, if ever, because he can refer to a clearly diagrammed floor plan of the school in his Red and Black handbook. The six-semester schedule, ever a major problem in the life of every newcomer, has been greatly simplified by the section devoted to the arrange- ment of subjects required by each curriculum in their normal order. It goes so far as listing various vocations and suggesting useful elective subjects. ei? I .a-...A-I Assemblies Following the sound of the bell, chatter accom- panied by the hurried shuiiling of many feet coming down from the third floor and up from the Hrst announces that an assembly has been called. These periods are welcomed by all students as opportunities to enjoy the talents of others and to honor them for their accomplishments. Often guest speakers and soloists are secured for the assemblies. School cheers and songs that everyone likes to sing add to the spirit of fellowship de- veloped here. Mimes, the sophomore dramatic club, presented the first assembly of the year on October 1. Nine varied acts, introduced by the master of cere- monies, Fred Matheny, impressed upon the student body that new talent had just arrived. Dr. Charles Patterson, professor of philosophy at the University of Nebraska, addressed the as- sembly on Seeing the World from Different Points of View. The importance of cultural education in establishing these views emphasized his belief that our sense of appreciation is based entirely upon our ability to understand. Playing Sons of the Black and Red, the band greeted students as they entered the auditorium on color day, October 9, for the convention of the L. H. S. football team, congregating to nominate the leaders of its faction. Cheers were led by Richard Logan. After official nominations in charge of student council members, Neal Mehring Was made a nominee for presidentg Henry Chief Bauer, for vice-president, and junior Hudkins, captain for the approaching game with St. Joseph 1- THE LINKS I937l- Central. Brief responses by the nominees followed, and more cheers showed the team the student approval and backing. At the assembly, November S, honoring the members of the national honor society, Paul Amen, a former Lincoln high student, described his trip to the 1936 olympics held in Germany. Mr. Mardis presented the certificates to the new mem- bers who were chosen from the upper third of their class for scholarship, leadership, citizenship and service. In observance of Armistice day, Oscar Bennet, professor of music at Nebraska Wesleyan Uni- versity, sang three appropriate numbers. The Rev. Ray E. Hunt, pastor of the First Christian church, spoke on The Significance of Armistice Day to Us. He stated that the only preparedness when a crisis arises is an intelligent people, schooled as to values and methods of democracy. Enthusiastic applause greeted the Master Singers quartet from KFAB when they appeared before the assembly November 17, with several varied numbers. Two vocal solos by William Miller and Walter Reusch, both former Lincoln high stu- dents, and a piano solo by their accompanist, Milan Lambert, were well received. To the accompaniment of the band, the senior class, resplendent in their colors of scarlet and silver, marched into the auditorium for a program given on board the Good Ship L. H. S. with Robert Sandberg, captain and master of cere- monies. Music, dancing and tumbling presented by talented passengers were connected by a dia- logue written by Ann Hustead. At the close of the assembly all the seniors joined in singing the March of '37, the senior class song written by Dorothy Cook. To the joys which prevailed near Christmas, a tone of solemnity was added by the assembly sponsored by the Lincoln high school choir under direction of William G. Tempel. Thirty-three lighted candles interspersed with pine branches formed a setting for the choir which chanted the Christmas story. Illuminated tableaux portrayed familiar Christmas scenes from the Bible, making this program the most impressive of the year. The drama, Christmas Gifts, was given by the Mimes, sophomore dramatists, for assembly De- cember 15. The story presented a wealthy family, who learned to see Christmas in its true spirit of giving rather than receiving by visiting the home of a poor family. Between scenes the audience was entertained with a ballet dance by Patricia Herminghaus. The Lincoln high advanced orchestra, under the direction of Bernard Nevin, gave a short concert January 7 to both assembly groups. Louise Staple- ton, senior, assisted by singing several selections. Harold Turkel, who gave William Jennings Bryan's famous speech, The Cross of Gold, was declared the winner over two finalists in the 1937 Faulkner cup contest in an assembly sponsored by the Forum. While the judges were making their decision, Jean Simmons played a flute solo --THE INKS 1937- and Verna Umberger explained briefly other ac- tivities of the Forum. With Raymond Reed, their new director, con- ducting, the advanced band played four selections at assemblies February 18-19. Their last number was Headlines, a modern composition, which interpreted the news of the day to the audience through different types of music. The birthday of George Washington was cele- brated by an assembly at which judge Edward F. Carter of the Nebraska Supreme Court spoke on The Supreme Court and the Constitution. Two selections by the University of Nebraska string quartet concluded the assembly. Through the courtesy of a local motor com- pany, four educational films were shown at a double assembly, February 26. The first showed the practical use of school subjects to an aviator. Turnahout Man encouraged us to apply our society manners to automobile driving. The third, Spinning Levers, explained the gears in an automobile. In the last, the necessity for con- sidering the action of other automobile drivers was emphasized. Educational movies met with such enthusiasm, that a Elm on the post office department was shown on February 4 and 5 by Edward Albrecht, a former Lincoln high student, who explained the films as they were being shown. Cheer, Cheer for Old L. H. S. opened the pre- tournament assemblies on March 9. Mr. Mardis spoke about the regional basketball tournament and Ralph Beechner asked for the support of the students. School yells and group singing assured him of the student backing. Duane Harmon, cornetist, and the University of Nebraska men's glee club under the direction of William G. Tempel, entertained for a double assembly March 11. Bernard Dalton's solo in the negro spiritual TfdU,lil1, was one of the outstand- ing features of the program. An assembly was held April 8 in recognition of the achievements of the newly elected mem- bers of the national honor society, which is com- posed of fifteen per cent of the graduating class and to which five per cent were elected last semester, the remainder being chosen this se- mester. Appreciative applause met Professor Carl Steck- elberg, who opened the assembly with four violin solos which, he explained, were all illustrative of the different tone types. Mr. Mardis closed the program by presenting to the new members their certificates of award. Students participating in the double assembly April 9 presented seven acts as a sample of Joy night which was to be held April 16 and 17. The program consisted of a curtain act, two tap dances, roller skating by two experts, a comic sketch in which four boys burlesqued a bridge game, and a Spanish dance. Many juniors displayed their acting ability at the all-junior assembly held April 20 to adver- :J ' tise the junior play, The Thirteenth Chair. The cast was presented by a mock try-out in which its members were chosen from the other juniors called upon unexpectedly to read lines. Presented to both assemblies through the cour- tesy of a local motor company were four motion pictures. The picture entitled The Other Fellow stressed the necessity for constant watchfulness in driving a car. Horsepower showed the de- velopment of the term and attempted to demon- strate that in each automobile are eighty-five horses willing to serve the driver. In lust a Spark, a lighted cigarette thrown carelessly into easily combustible material caused a fire that de- stroyed one of America's most valuable resources, the forests. More humorous and captivating was a technicolored animated cartoon entitled A Coach for Cinderella which showed the meta- morphosis of a pumpkin coach into a glistening stream-lined model of power and beauty. April 19, an all-boys assembly announcing the commencement of the citywide Find yourself campaign was addressed by Dr. H. E. Bradford, head of the department of vocational education at the University of Nebraska. He urged every- body to make his vocational choice. Under the direction of William G. Tempel, the boys glee club opened the assembly with Song of Western Men and Cossacks. Ten days later the home economics department presented their annual fashion show, this time a musical comedy, the Suzanna Shop, April 29. Dresses for street, house, school, afternoon and evening wear were worn by their makers, the members of the sewing classes, for the customers of Madame Suzanna's shop. The propriety of styles and colors was explained by Madame Suzanna. A string quartet furnished the music. Y' P V I . E ll ? S lf lnferclass Debale Of prime benefit in providing experience for embryo debaters is the inter-class debate tourna- ment which is held in the spring to determine the most able pair of debaters in the school outside of the members of the debate team. The winners of each class meet in separate tournaments, and the finals to decide the school championship. The names of the victorious teammates are engraved on the silver Magee cup. The sophomore champions this year were Leslie Dienst and William Dowellg juniors, Dorothy Wind and Harriet Bowman, seniors, Ward Rounds and John Pruden. In the finals the sophomores carried off the honors. THE LINKS 1937-1- Debale In order that a large number of pupils in Lin- coln high school may learn the art of debate, a beginning and an advanced course in that subject are open to pupils. Only a limited number are admitted to the advanced debate class, and from this class the squad is generally chosen. This year the question debated throughout the state was, Resolved: that all electric light and power utilities should be governmentally owned and operatedf' Lincoln high school debaters took part in one hundred ninety-five debates altogether. Of the fifty-nine decision debates participated in, thirty-three resulted in favorable decisions. Members of the debate team particularly dis- tinguished themselves by winning the champion- ship of district number one in the district tourna- ment, which qualified Lincoln high school for the state tournament. In addition to working on material and de- livery, the debaters study different types of reasoning. Thus, debate is excellent not only in training good speakers and well-informed indi- viduals, but also in making clear, logical thinkers. Besides engaging in regularly scheduled debates with teams over the state the Lincoln debaters also took part in several tournaments which furnished competition not only in debate but also in after dinner speaking, extemporaneous speaking and oratory. The tournaments competed in this year by the Lincoln team were those held at Midland college, Doane, Peru and the state and district tournaments held in Lincoln at the Uni- versity of Nebraska. Added to these was the girls tournament at Doane at which the feminine de- baters from Lincoln succeeded in reaching the semifinals. At the end of the year, a silver L shaped pin was awarded to Trudelle Downer, Wendell Basye, Edgar Graham, Jack Stewart, Leonard Peltier, Kenneth Miller, Verna Umberger, Claranne Car- penter, Jack Cole, Edward Edison and Robert Fillers.

Under the interested sponsorship of faculty members and the alert leadership of their student officers, these groups, through their annual round of meetings, banquets, parties and picnics, con- stitute an integral and indispensable part of school life. x Sludenl Council Elected by the entire student body and the faculty, the student council seeks to better the school by constructive action. This group per- forms a great service in sponsoring Joy night, matinee parties, in presenting the color day as- sembly, and in publishing the Red and Black handbook. Members give aid at school per- formances by serving as doormen and hall guards, and the council supplies hall guides to serve during the lunch periods and locker checkers who try all the lockers. The student council has effected an extensive campaign for safety, and presented record banners for promptness to home rooms. At Christmas time this group makes the building a cheerier place by placing appropriate decorations about. Committees and their chairmen which during the past year helped so much in bettering the school are as follows: John Gates, tardiness, Betty Meyer, Betty Reese, co-chairmen matinees, Barbara Johnson, courtesy, Avery Forke, safety, john Hyland, hall guide, janet Harris, club schedule, john Mason, revision of E, C. A. system and Joy night, Gwenith Orr, extra-curricular activities, Sidney Held, posters, Robert Sandberg, sophomore and student council elections, Jane Allen, color day, and John Stewart, building directory.

Home room representatives, composed of dele- gates elected by the various home rooms in Lincoln high school, meet once every two weeks during the last half of fifth period, with the purpose of discussing ways and means of better- ing the school. In order that they may be recognized, the representatives wear red armbands which beir the letters LHS', in black. Being a representative, though, is not all honor and privilege, as the representatives perform some vital duties about the school. They are in charge of the sale and weekly collection of the activity tickets. Also, they collect class dues and supervise elections. A large staff of volunteers each semester ushers at school performances and Sunday concerts, and serves as hall guards. Besides all this it is the duty of the representative to report to his home room the proceedings of the meetings. This group has stimulated a desire to make Lincoln high school a more attractive place by promoting the clean-up campaign. The guide committee composed of representatives renders a vital service in showing visitors about the building. In addition, members of this body have helped to increase the member- ship of clubs and act as general assistants to home room teachers.

National Honor Socie An honor of high esteem in the eyes of Lincoln high school pupils is election to membership in the national honor society, the object of which is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimu- late a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership and to encourage the development of character. Members are chosen from the pupils who are in the upper third of their class scholas- tically, and only iifteen per cent of the graduating class is allowed admittance. Not more than five per cent may be elected in the first semester of the senior year, the remainder being chosen in the second semester. Election is based on scholarship, citizenship, leadership, service and extra-curricular activities. National honor society members perform a very helpful service in the fall by helping to register incoming sophomores. Also, they aid new pupils in getting settled in the school. Pupils who are elected to membership have the privilege of wear- ing pins bearing the insignia of the society. The members, upon election, make the follow- ing agreement: NI pledge myself to uphold the high purposes of this society to Which I have been elected, striving in every way, by word and deed, to make its ideals the ideals of my school.

Pres. The Forum Forensic club of Lincoln high school is the Forum, now in its twentieth year. This club contributes to the promotion of oratory and de- bate, and is also valuable in giving members n knowledge of correct parliamentary procedure by holding periods of drill. The most important social event on the club's calendar is the annual banquet, woven around some special theme. This year the twentieth anniversary idea predominated. There are usually about eight speakers who are chosen from the list of graduating members and at each banquet one or two alumni of the club are invited to break bread with the present Forumites and to speak afterwards. Another red letter Forum event is the alumni meeting to which all former members are invited. This club sponsors the Faulkner cup contest in which only Forum members may compete. Con- testants deliver a ten-minute oration which may take the form of a famous historical address of the ancient Greeks, a contemporary speech, or may be composed by the contestant himself. He whom the judges deem superior has his name engraved on the Faulkner cup. Harold Turkel won the honor this year by virtue of his rendition of William Jennings Bryan's Cross of Gold.

The purpose of the club is furthered by short plays presented at meet- ings, and talks on various phases of dramatic art. One memorable meeting had as guest a dramatic dancer and costume designer. Besides this, the Mummers present an annual assembly, a Joy night act and one major play a year. The Mummers' play this year was Daddies by John Hobble, which turned out to be a laugh provoker from start to finish. Miss jane Schaible became the'partner of Miss Annetta Sprung in the sponsorial duties of the Mummers, taking the place of Miss Frances McChesney, now teaching in Omaha. Daddies was her first venture in play directing in Lincoln high school. The Mummers generously donated the entire proceeds of their play to the student emergency fund, making it possible for many a needy pupil to obtain warm lunches, glasses and other necessities. An added dramatic contribution by this club was an entertaining, educational safety sketch presented over the Lincoln schools' broadcast pro- gram, written and acted by members.

Orpbeons Orpheus, the ancient Thracian musician, was known for his ability to move trees and charm animals with his music. Although Orpheons members do not possess this lumberjack or Clyde Beatty ability, they can always be counted upon to move and charm the pupils of Lincoln high school with their musical presentations. Vocal and instrumental musical selections entertain members at meetings. This club presents an annual assembly which overflows with fine music and which can always be counted upon to be one of the best of the year. The main event sponsored by the Orpheons, however, is the opera which is presented by mem- bers of the choir under the direction of William G. Tempel. This year the opera presented was Sweethearts, Victor Herbert's famous musical gem. It not only maintained past standards but set a lofty mark of its own. Each Orpheons meeting is built around some special theme such as a certain composer's works or a special type of music. The most noteworthy meeting held by the Orpheons during the past year was that at which Miss Hazel Gertrude Kinscella, internationally known composer, was a guest. At this meeting a small group from the girls glee club sang two of Miss Kinscella's compositions. 0 Shea Rosborough Mallat Sandlovich Polsky Wlttstruck Pedersen Rokahr Pierson Vernon Surber Martin Laughlin Patton Poaster Osborn G.

Wrilers Club Best known by the school at large for its pub- lication of the Scribe, a booklet paclied full from cover to cover with entertaining stories, poems and essays written by pupils, the writers club is made up of Lincolnites with literary leanings. Pupils who desire to gain admittance to this organization hand in an original manuscript con- taining any kind of literary creation. All manu- scripts are read anonymously by the try-out committee, so that all pupils will be assured an equal opportunity for admittance. At meetings of the writers club members read their writings aloud to the club, or the efforts of fellow members who have a sore throat or a bashful nature but who are still quite able scribblers. Members occasionally give book re- views, and outside individuals are often invited to give talks or book reviews. To make for variety in the programs, members present vocal or instrumental selections. All members are sometimes asked to write a poem within ten minutes, and some of the results are read to the club. In this manner writing is made an enjoyable game. The writers club is another of the organ- izations in the school which has an annual picnic every spring.

The purpose of the Hi-Y, as stated in the con- stitution of that organization, is to create, maintain and extend high standards of Christian fellowship throughout the school and commun- ity. This organization gives aid to its members in vocational education, sponsors a Find your- self campaign, during which boys fnot neces- sarily Hi-Y membersj may have the privilege of hearing men who have had experience in the lines which they are thinking of following, and fur- nishes sociability through the medium of weekly dinners followed by a meeting. On the programs are speakers who discuss world relations, politics, social relations and affairs of the day. The annual older boys conference draws Hi-Y members from all over the state. This year the event was scheduled in Lincoln. Those present were entertained with a round of parties and by speakers. Dances are occasionally held in the Hi-Y building at which a large number attend. There were five such affairs during the past year. An event of great importance to Hi-Y members is the annual Hi-Y-Girl Reserves conference, which brings members of these two organizations to- gether for the purpose of discussing pertinent problems. At the beginning of the conference a party is always held as a get-acquainted affair.

The Girl Reserves is a branch of the Y. W. C. A. and its members are junior members of the organ- ization. It has its own clubroom in the Y. W.C.A. building, the use of the gymnasium, and of the playroom for parties. An inter-club council made up of representatives from each high school in the city meets and plans city-wide suppers, conferences and parties, at which the members from the various branches meet, work and play together. The Keyhole, a small mimeographed newspaper, gives the latest news of interest to members of this organization. The theme stressed at all Girl Reserves meetings this year was Keys to Growing Up. Some of the keys discussed were fthose to friendship, to personality, to religious life, to pictures, to books and to use of leisure time. These were presented by outside speakers as well as by members. To insure all members taking an active part in the work for the organization, each girl in the club serves on some committee. Members who desire may join a city-wide Girl Reserves choir.

It strives to stimulate interest in present day business problems and to provide social contact for its members. Also, it is instrumental in stressing the particular traits which characterize business activitiesg such as accuracy, initiative, tact and adaptability. These are presented by means of playlets and sketches planned and staged by the members themselves. Outside speakers are sometimes invited to meetings to demonstrate the latest oflice equipment or to discuss some phase of business. The club also has entertainments in a lighter vein. One of the more notable meetings of this club featured a voice demonstration given in the audi- torium by a local company. This demonstration illustrated not only the proper tonal quality to be used when speaking over the telephone, but also the proper inflection and courtesy to be used. The commercial club members had the good fortune at one of their meetings to witness a typewriting exhibition by Miss Hortense Stallnitz, who set a world's record in 1916 of 156 words a minute. p The commercial club at present time has one of the largest memberships in the school. The only requirement for membership is that the pupil must be carrying one commercial subject.

Pupils with an interest in interior decorating, costume design, drawing or any phase of art may try out for membership in this club. Professional artists frequently discuss before the club the subject in which the art club members are most interested-art, of course. A true artist would rather pursue his calling than eatg so, much time is spent at meetings actually drawing or painting. The annual art exhibit is the major feature of the art club. It is a resume' of the best work done by pupils in art classes during the year. Chemislry Club Unique among the organizations of Lincoln high school is the chemistry club. lt goes out of existence every year and is never reorganized until pupils request that it come to life. The respon- sibility for programs is placed squarely on the shoulders of the officers. Thus the membership is made up of those who are genuinely fond of chemistry and desire to obtain a deeper insight into it. Besides witnessing exoeriments, the club hears speakers discuss composition of matter, re- lation of chemistry to the body, liquid air. The practice of serving refreshments after the meet- ings has been well-established. Beebe Pipher Olmstead Davis Robb Anderson Mills Korella Wenz Hendry Hohlen Stone Gartner Hollingsworth D.

Red and Black Peppers Resulting from much discussion and initial action by the student council, a girls cheering organization in Lincoln high school has been realized with Miss Virginia Wfoolfolk as sponsor. The girls who comprise the Red and Black Peppers give added zest to games by their hearty cheers and songs, and, as their name implies, they appear at games attired in bright costumes of red and black topped off with jaunty little caps of the same colors. This group, limited to fifty members, is built along military lines with a captain, ser- geant and six corporals.

Home Economics C u Organized with the purpose of fostering sports for girls in Lincoln high school, the girls athletic association brings all potential Babe Didricksons' in the school together. This club promotes the interclass swimming meet and basketball tourna- ment. By keeping training rules and garnering points the members may earn letters. Proceeds from the sale of confections at football and basketball games are used to buy new equip- ment for the girls gymnasium. The club is famous for its tumbling acts and roller skating exhibitions given on Joy night. A major G. A. A. event is the banquet at which the members are presented with the awards they have earned. The home economics club, contrary to its name, is not occupied mainly With cooking and sewing, but with social welfare, and the discussion centers around questions on that subject. One function of this organization is the sponsoring of the spring style show, which, presented in an all- girls assembly, is a fashion parade of dresses made and worn by girls in the sewing classes. The club has also made garments to be dis- tributed by the Red Cross, and at Thanksgiving time it collects food for the needy. Its meetings are lightened with occasional picnics and parties.

Converting raw material into a finished product is a director's task. As if taking rabbits from a hat, our director produced polished actors and actresses from an assortment of inexperienced novices. For that we congratulate Miss Schaible. The realistic stage sets that neither shook nor fell, were created by the boys wood work classes under the direction of C. E. Evans. We commend the Advocate and the art classes who advertised each production, and the orchestra which, under the baton of Bernard Nevin and later of Raymond R. Reed, kept things at a lively pace. Ushers were a volunteer corps of home room representatives. f-J XL, ay.. MM A Joy Niglnf Music! Comedy! Drama! Laughter! Joy Night! The gala occasion came this year on April 16 and 17, with the sparkling gaiety of the best in talent at its best. The wide variety of entertainment and the colorful setting of a Swiss inn made this annual event a never-to-be-forgotten evening. With the Alps of Switzerland providing a fascinating background the girls and boys sang their lustiest, danced their sprightliest and pro- vided a really joyful night. Professor Quiz, alias Otto W. Hackman, formed the nucleus for a clever takeoff on the March of time. Who will forget William Tempel as our president, the Honorable F. D. Roosevelt? From whose mind will the pictures of James Wallace as Wallis Warfield Simpson soon fade? Many are the people who long to see these and the other faculty performances behind the silver screen. The snappy opener of the program was a musi- cal act by the waiters of the European inn, who, when not Waiting on tables at The Sign of the Purple Frog go under the moniker of the boys glee. As one can not imagine Switzerland with- out its mountains, one could not picture Joy night minus a Mummers play. That dramatic club provided travelers for the inn who had some very amusing experiences. A Vagabond, a Spanish senorita, a crystal gazer, an accordion player, a sprinkling of foreigners and a chorus figured in the fetching Clef club act. Mary Frances Kier and Willard Mertz proved themselves another Astaire-Rogers team in the execution of a fast dance number. Beck Benny rode again under 10 the sponsorship of the commercial and travel clubs, and Mary Beeson handled a rope with the dexterity of an old cowhand. The haunting voice of a continental serenader rang true in the person of Robert Wittstruck. Mimes presented the Hall of Fame, written, directed and acted in by George Blackstone. No few acclaim this the most tre- mendous of a terrific bill and rightly so. Follow- ing the Mimes playlet a pleasant peasant waltz was presently rendered by the graceful Mary Ellen Comerford. According to Major Bowes and the G. A.A., wheels go round and round and according to the audience, Pat Herminghaus on roller skates is a dancer of exceptional merit. Betty Mueller presented a lovely picture as a Spanish dancer, and William Morton appeared as Professor Morton, the magician, who proved the hand quicker than the eye. Ach! Du Lieuber Augustine! The German band with its uoompah comp offered a dashing touch of the'old country. Marian Bowers, who has been an outstanding part of Joy night for the last three years, shone as brightly as ever in the 1937 performance. The Peppers gave a spicy bit of hot rythmn and left the audience humming a catchy ditty written by Mary Rosborough. Even the teachers are trilling 'Wwe are the Peppers . So ended a vivid, a magnificent, and a pretty good presentation of Joy night, ' The student council, under the supervision of Miss Helen Dunlap, directed the affair with ex- pert management. The teachers who sponsored the various acts are to be congratulated for their share. ,2 1- - 4- 1----Ju---M ------- ----H --f--L-L---an-mann +---nu.a.a..ur--N-Q ---- -------M .-Q-1---mane'---v -'--w-e- ' --rw---v---' Q-'V---v .....--'W--ew' fnv.- aa --7 - V ,. v- --YFW a , ,.,- ...Y--.- ,.-..--,- .Y.. -... .- ,.,.-....-..,-.,..-.. ,-......-.,.--T.

Uncle Daniel didn't have any money, but he wasn't lacking in brain capacity. As long as his four nieces and one nephew were under the illu- sion that he was rolling in wealth, they were perfection personified. At the request of Uncle Daniel, each of the Dermotts tried his hand at earning a livelihood. To the most successful businessman would go an immense reward. Now the little nieces and nephews took to this scheme instantaneously, as they all had an eye on uncle's will. In the utmost secrecy, Daniel promised to each the treasured prize. When they compared notes, Uncle Dan was on the spot. However, his re- sourcefulness won out and everyone was com- pletely satisfied, the Dermotts proving much the better for their misdemeanors. lo You I Cast Mrs. Der1nott---- --- ...,..

The Crosbys had invited a spiritualist, Madame Rosalie LaGrange, to entertain the guests at a dinner party. During a seance a weird cry cut the air! The guests screamed! A man had been mur- dered! He had sat in the thirteenth chair! Not contented with one hair-raising murder, the victims involved offered two, the second of which resulted in an attempt to solve the complicated first.

Expecting little waifs, they received such charming bits of juvenility that the old bachelor club was tottering in no time. Robert's foundling arrived, a lovely miss of sixteen. However, Mr. Audrey proved more than equal to the ensuing situation. He proposed to the girl. As the curtain dropped on the last act, each man had entirely discarded his views on the bliss of a single life.

Besides having fine quality and interpretation, the organizations have offered to a large number of students the opportunity of taking part in them, 325 persons being members of the various advanced musical classes. In November, January and March, before ap- preciative audiences, the orchestra, a group of seventy talented musicians, played Sunday' after- noon vesper concerts. Merry Wives of Windsor, Claire De Lune, Dance of the Bujfoons and jewels of the Madonna were some of the well received numbers. Miss Katharine Cox was guest cello soloist at the January vesper concert. Victor Molzer's interpretation of Caprice Brilliante, a piano solo with orchestra accom- paniment, was enthusiastically received at the March vesper concert, as was Philip Heller's cello solo in Air De Ballet. In the first group of appreciation concerts, 3,000 attentive fifth and sixth grade children heard the orchestra play Dnnfc of the Macabre with Janet Steckelberg playing the violin solo, and Spoon Riwr with Malcolm Hayes and Richard Morse playing the piano duet. The second series of appreciation concerts were presented in the spring by the orchestra which had increased its membership to eighty. The program was varied. including On the Stepper of Central Asia, The Doll's Dnnrr and Flight of the Bumblebee. Mary Lou Burns, Phyllis Ivers, Marjorie Kelly, Florence Moll, Betty Reese, Esther Rembolt, Louise Stapleton, Mildred Wekesser, Margaret Hedstrom and Barbara Clark were the two semesters members of the girls octet that excelled in fine ensemble work and sang a great many times during the year. Betty Reese sang a lovely obligato to Gloria in Exrrlsis, a Christmas carol, and Barbara Clark demonstrated her beautiful contralto voice when she sang the solo part in Clouds, at the winter commencement. Miriam Hackman was accom- panist. Still other musical groups rounded out Lincoln high's array of talent. They were a string quartet consisting of Janet Steckelberg, Charlotte Quick, Alice Blackstone and Philip Heller, and a wood- wind quintet composed of Jean Simmons, Calvin Rollins, Willard Mertz, Avery Forke and Victor Molzer. Music Coniesl Twenty-one Lincoln high school musicians chosen to represent their school by competitive try-outs in February returned home April 2 tri- umphant after receiving eleven superior ratings out of a possible twelve at the district music contest held at Geneva. Louise Stapleton, soprano, Betty Bennett, mezzo soprano, Nathan Holman, tenor, James Price, violin, Calvin Rollins, bassoon, Willard Mertz, French horn, Victor Molzer, piano and Jean Simmons, flute, were soloists who received su- perior ratings. All the small groups, the girls octet, the string quartet and the woodwind quintet won the same honor. For the first time in three years, Lincoln high school musicians returned from the state high school music contest at Hastings amassing a total of seventy points to win the class A sweepstakes. Each of the four large groups entered-the choir, the orchestra, the girls glee club and the boys glee club-received a superior rating al- though the competition was especially keen. The choir and boys glee club were the only groups in their class to receive the highest honor given. Two of the three small groups entered-the woodwind quintet and the string quartet--re- ceived superior ratings while the octet was given an excellent rating. Louise Stapleton, soprano, Betty Bennett. medium voice, Nathan Holman, tenor, Calvin Rollins, bassoon, and Jean Simmons, flute, placed superior in the individual competition while Victor Molzer, piano, Willard Mertz, French horn, and James Price, violin, received excellent ratings.

Musical recognition of the excellence of the choir was received when they were asked to represent mixed vocal groups of Nebraska at the first North- western music competition festival at Minneapolis under the auspices of the National School Vocal Association. Unfortunately, they were unable to attend. Dimmed auditorium lights, thirty-three burn- ing candles along the front of the stage, a tableau scene and ninety black-robed choristers! Such was the scene as the choir presented the annual Christmas assemblies and the Christmas vesper concert. Verna Umberger skilfully repeated the always new Christmas story as Mary Lou Burns sang the solo part in the Christmas choralogue. Nate Holman's tenor voice rang out in From Heaven Above, another Christmas song of the choir. The high, clear soprano voice of Louise Staple- ton brought many rounds of applause for her solo in Italian Street Song, a musical composition sung by the choir at the district convention of the Nebraska state teachers association and again at the March vesper concert.

Tempel, proved themselves a fine group during the year. They appeared in a number of performances. One particularly worthy of note was the February vesper concert when Louise Stapleton sang Romany Life and Harold Osborn gave his interpretation of Rose of Tralee.

Clamors for repeating this success were so per- sistent that the one hundred thirty-eight Lincoln high school girls' voices included in the group, performed for two assemblies and a vesper concert.

Opera restoration of a kingdom, a royal romance and the best voices in Lincoln high school in mass chorus! Sweethearts, the opera presented this year by the choir, weaves around the adventures of Sylvia, princess of Zilania, who as a youngster is left in the care of Dame Paula, proprietor of the laundry at the White Geese. The plot deepens when Mikel, who left Sylvia in Dame Paula's care, conspires to put Sylvia on the throne which is about to be offered to Franz, the heir presumptive. Meanwhile Franz, travel- ing incognito, has fallen in love with Sylvia, and has found a rival in Lieutenant Karl who is en- gaged to Sylvia. Trouble, mistaken identities, surprises, all of these lead up to the happy, light opera ending.

G. Tempel SPORTS --THE LINKS 1937 --- Spovis A coach, a fighter, a gentleman--and in those three words you have summed up Lincoln high's new football and basketball instructor, Ralph Beechner, who succeeded our old friend, Stuart Baller. Beechner is not exactly what you would call a stranger at Lincoln high school. Beech earned his monogram here in 1924-26 in three sports-football, basketball, and baseball. When he moved here this year, it wasn't the first time he had taken over the coaching reins when Baller had departed. When Harold Browne shifted to the University of Nebraska in 1929, Baller left jackson and Beechner replaced him. It was a great blow to the hopes of Lincoln high when Beechner suffered an eye infection at the start of the football season, but Neal Meh- ring, in his first season as a tutor, Hlled in most satisfactorily. Mehring is an ex-Nebraska foot- ball ace. After receiving one of the finest com- pliments Coach Dana Bible ever paid to one of his coaching school students, Mehring was signed by Lincoln high for reserve basketball coach last year. Whereas Mehring is known as the Beau Brummel of the state coaching circle, Frank Mueller is known as Frank the Card. Mueller's rare humor is not confined to Lincoln alone. One of the best referees in the state, Mueller has traveled many miles to officiate at athletic con- tests. In his first game as reserve coach at Lincoln, he held the undefeated Jackson team to a 6 to 0 reckoning, the biggest scare the Cardinals received all season. Who piloted Lincoln's swimmers to a victory over Omaha Tech in the second meet of the season the irst time the Maroons had been de- feated for nearly five seasons? Harry Kuklin, another newcomer. Kuklin was state high school and Bix Six diving champion two years, and was captain of the Red and Black in 1929. Earl Johnson, acting director of athletics, is serving in place of Harold Lauritsen. Johnson, at the head of Lincoln sport activities for years, is a man about whom little has been Written. Johnson attended Crete high school, then ad- vanced to Doane. After receiving his degree, the Doane officials immediately signed him to tutor the athletic teams. Serving at Doane three years, Johnson took over coaching duties at Peru for five years, and then moved to Lincoln, Perhaps Will Rogers could have stated it bet- ter, putting it something like Howdy, fellows, we're doggone glad to have you with us. But lose or win, our coaches will be right in the midst of the flying fur, and when it's all over, they'll come up smiling. They're that kind. ll x fi XO .Lf X, Foolball Up to their old passing tricks after several years of devastating running play, Lincoln high's 1936 football team again maintained the en- viable reputation that has been built up in years of winning games. Under the tutorship of Neal Mehring during the absence of Ralph Beechner at the start of the season, the gridders captured six games, while losing but three and tying one. Lacking a sufficient scoring punch, the Red and Black and Omaha South battled furiously in a game of frustration as the season opened, the game ending 0 to 0. Superb line play annulled the offensive fireworks. Thoroughly chastened by the Omaha South deadlock, Lincoln put the screws on Crete, flog- ging Bob Gibbs' Cardinals 19 to 0. It was here that the Red and Black found wings on its feet and bullseyes at the end of junior Hudkins, pitching arm. Hudkins passed to George Binger for all of the touchdowns, ranging from 27 to 10 yards. In the annual A and HBH skirmish Frank Mueller's junior wrecking crew dimmed the un- defeated hopes of the first stringers for three quarters, but two swift touchdowns in the final quarter gave the Links a hard earned 13 to 0 victory over the scrappy seconds, led by their center, Junior Ennen. Hudkins scored both touchdowns on short gains. Flinging the pigskin with amazing dexterity, the Red and Black clad magicians baffled the beefy St. Joseph Central team, placing a 12 to 0 victory on the credit side. It was Hudkins to Binger again, a 44-yard pass in the second quar- 1..li.i--l1- Hutton Wilson Taylor Miller Yakel Morlsse Meier Schwartzkopf Sauer Quarterback Hallback Fullback Fullback Tackle Center Guard Guard Foolball ter netting the first score, while the last touch- down in the fourth quarter -was made by one of the most freakish plays ever shown in a Lincoln game. From the one-yard line, Hud- kins plunged across, but fumbled and Binger caught the ball in the air to chalk up the score. Tossing forward and lateral passes with the abandon of a Rugby team gone basketball crazy, the Links whipped Falls City 13 to 0. Hudkins tossed a 10-yard pass to Binger for the first marker in the second period, and Reuben Bauer flipped a 5-yard aerial to Binger for the third quarter score. Giving in doggedly and grudgingly, Lincoln found the man power and general all-around talent of Sioux City Central too much and dropped a thrilling 7 to 0 contest. It was the first defeat the Red and Black had tasted since the same club had turned the trick two years ago. When Red Salzman wheeled off tackle in the third quarter for the score, it was the first time an opponent had crossed the Lincoln goal line since Kennedy had two years ago, wearing the same colors as Salzman. A slimy pigskin that rose as a black oval from the ankle-deep mud to go tumbling between the crossbars in the second period appeared to have Omaha Tech headed for victory, but the Red and Black, operating with the speed and deter- mination of a locomotive, came in the second half to drub the Maroons 14 to 3. Hudkins, draped with Tech tacklers, plunged across from the 10-yard stripe in the third quarter, then came through with a 47-yard dash off tackle in the final quarter to clinch the game. Striking with bewildering swiftness in the first half, Lincoln downed Omaha Central 13 to 0 the following week. Binger snagged a 3-yard pass from Bauer to score in the first quarter, Il then blocked a punt and dropped on the ball in the end zone to complete the scoring. Attacking with a vigor which surprised even its adherents, Grand Island captured the mythical state title by edging out a 6 to 0 victory over the Red and Black. A 60-yard drive in the second quarter, with Phelan going across, netted the lone score of the game, although the Links rallied numerous times in the final period only to be denied some five yards from the promised territory. As smooth a working piece of high school football machinery as any that ever rolled over the gridiron at Memorial Stadium, Minneapolis South, crushed and outclassed Lincoln 28 to 6 on Thanksgiving day to ring down the curtain on the season. Art Irgens, South's ace back, was the most proficient leather lugger the Links faced all season. LeRoy Farmer plunged across for. the only Lincoln score in the third quarter after a 49-yard drive. George Binger, end, Arthur Adams, tackle, and Junior Hudkins, fullback, received all-state honor, while much mention was given to Sidney Held, end, Austin Wilson, quarterback, Don Taylor and Ervin Heiser, halfbacks.

Lincoln's first team had to call on all its re- sources to turn back the stubborn reserves, 13 to 0 in the annual A-B team game. The seconds held their own nicely until the final quarter when Junior Hudkins hit pay-dirt twice. The hand may be quicker than the eye, but Havelock's razzle-dazzle style of attack held no terrors and no bewilderment for the junior squad, until a third quarter pass edged out the seconds 7 to 0. Thwarted time after time by penalties, the Estes Bauer Garrison Brill Centef Quaftefbllek Guard ack team unleashed a powerful running attack in the fourth quarter to defeat the Beatrice seconds 7 to 0. After Cathedral had forfeited, the under- classmen dropped a heartbreaking 2 to 0 game to Bethany when Brick's punt slipped off his foot for a safety in the opening period. Duped by one perfectly executed forward pass that traveled 48 yards, the B team ended the season by taking a 6 to 0 defeat at the hands of College View.

Scoring with gay abandon, the seconds rolled up a 32 to 17 count against the Omaha Central Reserves in the opener, and, after a half of dreary basketball, revived to rout Sprague-Martel 21-14. In a game that brimmed with surprises, Bethany fell 27-11 as Bob Sauer dumped in 10 markers, but Walton gave the B team their first taste of defeat, 24-14. . The Red and Black dumped College View 27-16, only to fall before the same Omaha Central team they had routed earlier in the season, 39-32. With John Hay scoring at will, Teachers were handed a 30-24 defeat, and the Crete sec- onds were shellacked 33-17. Eagle was dropped from the exclusive ranks of the unbeaten, 28-25, and the jackson Reserves were handed a 24-19 reckoning. Cathedral and Beatrice Reserves couldn't keep pace, bowing 27-18 and 39-7, respectively, but the Seconds suffered a 44-24 setback at the hands of Ceresco. Liberty, state Class C champions, were knocked off 27-7, as were College View and Havelock, 34-16 and 41-31. John Hay was third in Greater Lincoln league individual scoring with 141 points, while in average points per game he was second.

Edwards Paine Hilgert Van Horn Baseball What makes a good baseball team? Some say hitting strength and others say fielding ability, but it is generally agreed that the combination produces a winning club. And that, combined with the sterling pitching of elongated Sid Held, is the main reason why Red and Black's diamond forces handed in one of the finest records ever made by a Lincoln nine. The Links got off on the wrong foot by drop- ping a 15 to S decision to the cream of the Omaha crop, Central, when the Gate City lads bunched fourteen base knocks with an even dozen Lincoln errors. Held started on the mound and whiffed seven in five innings, Keith Feaster finishing. Held's brilliant two-hit pitching evened the season's ledger, Omaha Tech falling victim to his fireball, 4 to 0. Held set sixteen Maroon batters down with their quota of strikes. The Links scored three counters in the third inning and added another in the fifth when Gaylord Cole's outfield fly enabled Frank Rubino to cross the mathematical hassock. Sauer and Held each got a double for the victors. Omaha North couldn't cope with Held's speed, and bowed 2 to 0. The Vikings were held to three hits and fourteen potential hitters were fanned. Dean Blythe paced the swatsmiths with a pair of blows. Held's third straight shut-out was chalked up, with Tech the vanquished again, 19 to 0, as Coach Mueller ran a parade of twenty-one players on the field. The Red and Black ran in eleven counters in the second to sew it up. Swimming One meet made an otherwise dull season one of the most outstanding ever turned in by a Lincoln team, when the Red and ,Black splashers broke Omaha Tech's winning streak at. 23 straight by winning in a mid-season dual. Y. M. C. A. bowed before the Links as the season began when Harold Osborn, Don Hilgert, Les Oldfield and Bill Hutton garnered first places. Omaha Tech was forced to win the Enal relay to nudge the Links 39 to 36 at Omaha. The Red and Black made it two straight over the Y. M. C, A. by defeating Burton Amgwert and Co., 47 to 29. Lincoln's water magicians then pulled a trick out of their hat that critics had almost termed impossible. The Red and Black splashers ended Omaha Tech's victory streak 37 to 29 in the home pool. Gordon Paine's 19.9 in the 40 yard free style got the Red and Black off to a lead they never relinquished, Oldfield, Swihart and Bill Edwards following with firsts, and the two relay teams winding up in the initial place. Tech edged out Harry Kuklin's tankers 74 to 68 to take the Tri-State competition at Omaha. Relay teams composed of Oldfield, Osborn, Paine, Swihart, Turnbull, John Edwards and Bill Edwards took three firsts. Lincoln's free wheeling splashers again played second fiddle to Omaha Tech in the state meet. With the final event, the 200-yard relay, on deck, the Red and Black held a slim 2 point margin, but dropped the relay as the Maroons broke the state record and captured the title 66-64. Gordon Paine, honorary captain of the team, distinguished himself as the outstanding swimmer by taking firsts in the two sprint free style events. Don Hilgert and Les Oldfield each grabbed a first apiece, and the 150 yard medley relay team was triumphant. r.r..s,.....,-. .... ... . ae, . A .,..., W, J-lunwmr- .

The two were teamed to win their doubles and enable the Links to tie for first honors. In the interclass meet, Richard Smith bowed before Huston in the finals, while others winning places on the team were Mertz and Wendell Smith. STATE TOURNAMENT John Huston, Lincoln high ace racquet wielder, remained unscathed as a high school tennis player in the second year of his competition when he successfully defended his state singles crown from Wayne Kellogg of Omaha Tech, 6-4, 6-3. Huston earned his way to the finals by white- washing Carl Chloupek of Wahoo and Sidney Hardeman of Grand Island in the first and second rounds respectively, 6-0, 6-0, and by brushing aside Lewis Hall of Omaha Benson in the semifinal, 6-4, 6-0. Golf In warm-ups for, the state meet, Lincoln high golfers were un- defeated, Omaha Tech and Have- lock falling before the Red and Black. Herb Duermyer shot a 76 for 16 holes as the Maroons fell 12 to 0, while Jack I-Iyland's 81 paced the Red and Black to their 14M to M victory over the Shoptowners. In the interclass meet, Hyland provided a stunning upset when he defeated Duermyer 1 up on 20 to win the title. Duermyer is city golf champion. Others coming through in fine style were Roy Anderson, Jack Weidman and Charles Carper. STATE TOURNAMENT Although the individual championship was awarded to Byron Adams of Grand Island, Lincoln high's golfers, Jack Hyland and Herb Deurmyer, succeeded in copping the coveted team champion- ship trophy. The Red and Black entries and Omaha South tied for the trophy in the prelims, but in the one hole playoff, Deurmyer's birdie 4 combined with Hyland's par 5, bested the Packers' aces, Stephen Stefanski and Stanley Daniels, each of whom carded a 5. Hyland was the individual medalist. He went out in 76 and returned in 81 for a 15 7 total, one better than Adams. Deurmyer carded an 83-80 for a 163 total. Hyland was eliminated in the semi-finals by the runnerup, Stefanski. Harry Kuklin, coach McConnell Carothers Hemsworth Mertz R. Smith Huston W.

THE LINKS 1937 Cl mpics The juniors, black paint smeared across their faces, did something that no other junior class had done for three years, that of bringing down treasured banner from the pole in the flag rush, but lost the annual olympics to the crimson-splotched seniors, 72 to 60. The underclassmen got off to the lead in the baseball throw when Glenn George upset the dope bucket by defeating the favorite, Sid Held, with a toss of 113 yards, but Lucille Hofferber evened the count when she tossed the sphere 64 yards to walk away with the girls event. The juniors jumped back into the lead when elongated Sidney Held heaved the football 63 yards, but this margin was again nullified by Lu- cille Hofferber when she threw the basketball 27 yards, better than her nearest competitor. Sprints were distinctly of a senior flavor, George Binger breaking the tape in the 40-yard dash for the boys, and Lucille Hofferber en- countering little difficulty in winning the girls 40-yard dash. Bill Wiley put the juniors back into the picture when his last second spurt enabled him barely to win the 75-yard dash, but Lucille Hofferber racked up her fourth straight victory of the morn- ing a moment later in the 60-yard dash, and the seniors were still boasting a 20-point lead. The juniors shaved the seniors' advantage to 10 markers by winning the 75-yard shuttle relay, but the seniors wouldn't relinquish their lead, and nurtured it to 20 points by capturing the 60-yard shuttle relay for girls. Wrestling proved to be the turning point of the meet, Newton Copple and Arthur Bartzatt, both juniors, winning close decisions from Willard Frederick and Carl London respectively. This evened the score with 10 events remaining. Seniors steooed back out into the lead again when they captured the girls archery division, but Jack Portsche's mitt-throwing enabled him to out- point Willard Frederick in the lightweight boxing and to even matters again. Harold Julin chalked up an upset in the heavy- weight boxing When he outslugged the juniors' 121 Xfxx J X Lee Partington, and the seniors stretched their lead to 30 points when the girls took the pro- gressive broad juump and tug of war and the boys brought home the bacon in their tug of war. The juniors came through with a victory in the lightweight battle royal, although Don Taylor and Harry Abrahams forced Sidney Held out of the circle, and the seniors were seeing victory on the horizon. With two events remaining, the juniors had to take both to win the agenda. It was all over but the shouting when the seniors won the sack rush, due to some efficient work on the west sack. However, the juniors were not going home without taking Leo Benson down from the pole in the final event, the flag rush. For three minutes Benson and his bodyguard, George Binger, had matters well in hand, but the juniors forced Binger down and three more went up and brought Benson down, taking some of the sting out of the defeat. The juniors showed a distinct superiority in the boys events, but this was overcome by the senior girls' captain, Lucille Hofferber, who won four individual first places and led her mates to three more. The senior girls failed to lose an event. junior wrestlers and boxers had no one to cope with them, taking three firsts and dropping but one.

The feminine Dizzy Deans and Babe Ruths are given plenty of opportunity to work off excess energy at least two nights a week under the helpful supervision of Miss Lillian Story. The girls are organized into teams under cap- tains of their own choosing, and enter into corn- petition with each other. Near the end of the semester, an interclass tournament is organized in which the girls compete for class superiority. Abbott D. Ingram F. Martin D. Carter V. Carter Hand Askey Church Smith H.

Under the cap- taincy of Betty Heckman, the junior team forced the seniors to accept a tie for second place at the hands of the sophomores, with the above results. The team captains were Lucille Hofferber, seniorg Betty Heckman, junior, and Helen Whitmore, sophomore. Freda Martin, junior, was the high scoring player in the tourna- ment, chalking up 23 scores in the game against the sophomores. 10 scores for her team, and Lucille Hofferber, senior, sacked 9. Tennis All the would-be Wimbledon players are given plenty of opportunity to run off their plentiful energy in the after-school tennis classes. Under the instruction of Miss Lillian Story and Miss Virginia Woolfolk the largest number of tennis enthusiasts in Lincoln high school for many years were shown how to improve their strokes and play a better game. The girls who were new to the game were given special instruction on the technique of wielding a racquet and how to count scores. In the last two or three weeks of the course, a tennis tournament is held. This tournament, is to be champion for the semester. For the past two years, the championship has rested with two girls, Kathryn, Kellison and Elaine Linscott.

THE LINKS 1937 How io 'Read Your 1937 Links In case some of you have not read the title, I might repeat that this article is called, How to Read Your 1937 Links. Being a man of action, I say let's get down to brass tacks. Are you down? Good. There are primarily only two qualifica- tions for reading your Links. First, Qand I think this is the most importantj you must have a Links, second, you must know how to read. The reason I empha- size the former so much is that it cannot be overcome without fetching a few shill- ings from the moth-bag Cpocketbook to youj . The second can be easily remedied, for all you have to do is to enroll in first grade and work up all over again. It's very simple, I have done it several times. I have always been a firm believer in the fact that seeing is learning or some- thing like that, so if you will whiz with me to my home, I will show you how to get the most out of your Links. Whizzz -that's us whizzing to my home. Fun, isn't it? But here we are. Won't you come in? First, you must work up a pleasant mood by saying casually to yourself, Ah, now for a pleasant evening at home gaz- ing among pages of my new Links. By the way where is my Links? I'm sure I laid it right here on this table. Let's see now, where is it? In this drawer-no. Under the rug-no. Ma, oh Ma! Have you seen my Links? You haven't huh? What's that, dad? Under my arm.. Well, can you beat that? It was under my arm. Shucks, I knew it all the timeg I just wanted to see if the folks could find it. Now to sit down in a big fluffy chair. This one will do. Funny but I thought the installment man took this when he 1 'tg Fig x-X -vigil I2 5? by Fgii got the dining room set. I think I better have a little more light. Gosh, a fellow might know it. just when you get all settled, the floor lamp goes on the blink. It must be this plug. No, that one is in order. Say, I know what it is. It's this W0rn-Out cord. I'll just repair it now if you don't mind. TWENTY MINUTES LATER That's a good job even if I do say so myself fand I doj. What's this? It still won't work. Wait a minute, I've been turning the switch on the receptacle without a bulb in it. There,s the light, I'll bet the cord wasn't even broken. As I said about an hour ago, now for some good reading. This year's cover is sure a beauty. My favorite colors too-tomb- stone pink with greenish-orange trim- mings. The division sheets are pretty too. What's that, dad? Yes, I'll answer the door. Yes-one minute, please. It's the paper boy to collect for the Daily Gab. What? Pay him out of my allowance. Oh, all right. As I was saying the Links is nice but at the rate I'm reading it now I will be too old to see before I'm finished. Would you look at Fred Minovinchious's picture in the senior section? So he's going to graduate at last. I'll bet if he bought a Links every year he attended L. H. S., he could start a library. By the way, I wonder how these cookies happened to be here? This is too good to be true. TEN MINUTES PAss What's that, sis? Did I see Fido's dog biscuits? Oh-h-h, I'm sick. If any of you dear people could tell me how to read and enjoy my Links, just address me in care of the Loose-Screw Sanitarium- Padded Cell number 1313. k.3- --A----Thus-'-A -' '-+L-- THE LINKS 1937 Todayis Bullelin fWith apologies to Roy Atwellj The home room teacher in room 000 M, stands and announces that Jonathan Speechsputtle will read the morning bulletin.

Though it is not exploited, we believe that there is a theme embodied in the 1937 Links. It is represented by hands which are at work in the book from beginning to end-writing, opening books, making music, drawing, holding tools and turning wheels or expressing emotion. Behind those hands are the brains and ambition of 2,700 high school students at work on the future-. So it is with the Links. The hands of a vast student organization made the book. The Links oiiice was the clearing house for the activity of innumerable talents and influences. Here we acknowledge what tangible contribu- tions space will allow. It is doubtful that a successful Links has ever been published without the backing and counsel of our principal, H. C. Mardis. Because he keeps entirely in the background, we ourselves do not realize many of the discerning services he has rendered us, the time he has spent in our behalf cannot be measured in hours or points or money. His interest is omnipresent. His approval of our advances and his check of our radicalism we do know, and no services are more gratefully ac- knowledged than those of our principal and friend. With pleasure and admiration for their writing ability, we thank superintendent of schools, M. C. Lefler, Miss Olivia Pound and Otto Hackman for the copy which appears with their pictures. Returning impatient demand patiently with an enduring supply of 'prepared lists, Miss Edna B. Williams has contributed more fact and confirma- tion of fact to this book than any other factor outside the immediate board. We learned to run to her for the answer to question upon question. Such will always be the lot of so good-natured a person who knows the entire population of a school. It takes an active and ambitious group to supply the Links with over three hundred informal photographs of Lincoln high school life, and it was with regret that, because of duplication and lack of space, we omitted a great many fine snap- shots. The camera club is to be congratulated both collectively and individually. To C. O. Morrison, club sponsor, goes much credit for suggestions for organization and for specified pictures. Club members most active' in snap- shotting were George Royal, Robert Marcotte, Charles Edholm, Jack Thompson, Donald Wilson and Van Lamb. Other camera-fiends who swelled our supply beyond belief were Harry Kuklin, Robert Sandberg, Paul Speier, Betty Groth, Barbara Johnston and Mark Seacrest, We also thank Carl London for his idea of selling Links subscriptions as Christmas gifts. We are grateful to Ben Simon and Sons for lend- ing us space on their main floor to make these sales. To acknowledge Richard Van Horn as calendar artist is scarcely paying him half the commenda- tion due him for his excellent execution of a difficult job. For further contributions we thank Robert Fink, and, though their work does not appear, Irene Courtenay, Dorothy Knight and Velma Grimm for their cooperation. Nearly every activity in school has its art element, for which Miss Helen Wilson and Miss Gladys Dana willingly give profitable advice. The Links is not an exception to the rule. Ever as reliable as, it is interesting, our fellow publication, the Advocate, has given the Links all the publicity it sought. An innovation made successful by an im- pressively eiiicient group was the selling of Links subscriptions by underclassmen. They handled the problem of reaching every underclassman and showing him that the book includes his class and its functions as well as the seniors. George Binger broke an all-time record by sell- ing 217 Links. Should we compliment him, ac- knowledge him or present him with a book? We have done all three. To all home room teachers who so ably coped with the problem of shepherding their home rooms before the camera goes our sincere acknowledg- ment, and we specially thank those home rooms who graciously waited until 4:00 to have their pictures taken. It is with apology, as well as sincerity that we direct our fullest thanks to the oiiice staff, Miss Leone Olson in particular, for their ever-willing compliance with our innumerable demands which may often have been inconsiderate interruptions. We extend our best wishes to the only one who really tried to keep the oiiice clean, the third floor custodian, C. W. Rickel. All clubs, activities, classes and their sponsors are to be commended for their cooperation during photographing, in identifying their members and in giving our staff a new slant on the organization. It is impossible to put into words the gratitude the Links board holds for influences so widely spread, so intangible, that have gone in to the making of this book. We can only repay them with the hope that they will welcome the annual as a true record of the past year of Lincoln high school's history. 141 '1 3 4 1 ,, i E 2 f E ? i E i E r 5 1 L L 1.
