Page 24 VARIETY is THE SPICE An eye-witness account by one of the first men to view the damage wrought by the atomic bomb was brought to our school by George Cle- meens. He told of the destruction caused by the bomb, and forcibly em- phasized his words by showing us a piece of the radioactive bluish-green glass made from sand melted by the explosion. Youth week was observed in Lincoln high by an assembly in which Rev. Ronald W. Dickson spoke. He helped us understand the obligations that youth will face in the coming years, and he gave us a glimpse of some of the opportunities that will be offered us. He left us determined to do our share in making the coming world a better one. Watch the four cars-your own, the one in front, the one behind, and the one around the corner. That was the admonition in the film on traffic safety shown to us during safety week. The purpose of the film was to make us safer drivers. After seeing it, we left with the resolution to take all necessary precautions against being the cause of anyone's loss of life or property. One memory of Lincoln high which is treasured and never forgotten by its graduates is the Christmas assembly. The lights are soft and low. Thirty- three candles, representing the years in the life of Christ form a row on the front of the stage, and a huge white star glows above. All the music groups join to make the assembly as nearly perfect and inspiring as possible. As the students leave the darkened and quiet auditorium, they feel a greater realization of the meaning of religious living and brotherly love. The Links gloat over their many victims as the Peppers present a pre-game assembly . . . Shakes- peare drew a laugh when the University Players brought Twelfth Night to the L. H. S. stage. . . .

Davis entertained Lin- coln high with his jovial good humor and his pioneer-bred common sense. Better relations between employer and employees were stressed by him along with a plea for all students who could to attend college in pursuit of training for a better position in life. He attempted to make us see that labor and management have the same ultimate purpose in mind in spite of the many minor issues which cloud thinking on both sides. Words were delivered at Gettysburg during the Civil War which have lived through the years. Simple and direct words were spoken to express a deep- felt thought and not to establish their writer's reputation for oratory. They are beautiful words because the feel- ing behind them is beautiful. A film attempted to let us hear these words the way they might have been spoken. It also showed the merciless criticism that the great gaunt man's opponents showered upon him. The girls glee with the boys quartet, under the direction of Miss Dorthea Gore and H. T. Rangeler, presented an assembly of rapturous music suitable to the feelings that Spring inspires in everyone. The attention and admira- tion of the audience were held through all of the songs by their delightful com- bination of ability, feeling and versa- tility. The numbers by the girls glee which so pleased everyone were Praise Ye the Father, Music From Heaven, America Thou Blessed Land, Tambourine, To the Spirit of Music, and It Cannot Be a Strange Country with Sonja Christop- herson and Peggy Bayer as soloists. The boys quartet sang Jesu Price- less Treasure and Roaclwags. This assembly had been anticipated with eagerness by the student body, and attained an excellence which ful- filled all hopes. The ushers hit a pose before leading the First Nightersn to their places .... No shiny noses here!- the make-up committee of LoUcKs, EAST and ELIAS prepare the actors for the footlights .... RUBINOFF Signs his John Henryv for an appreciative fan, while his priceless Stradivarius rests gingerly on his lap. Page 25
