Altho the girls gave their time to the game and kept posted on the rules very little was accomplished save, (according to Prof. Simpson.) in the line of screaming. However, in the fall of 1905, under Mr. Ludden’s management, a girls basket hall team became an organization of the A. II. S. The first game played was with the Syracuse High School. The girls who played in that first game will never forget it. On account of a heavy rain the game was pulled olT in a hall. It was the first time our girls ever played on a floor. Nevertheless t hey won with a safe margin. Though defeat might come later they would never give up they had won their first game. During the season two other games were played. In both of which we suffered defeat the one with the Peru Normal and the return game with Syra cuse. Our first defeat was a defeat in more ways than one, for our girls got ••sulky.” However, when Syracuse defeated us. we knew how to take it wit h a better grace. In the fall of 1906 the team organized with renewed enthusiasm. The first game played was with Humboldt. The victory was an easy one. but we admired the spirit wit h which they played. The only other game played was with the Peru Normal. It was hard fought from beginning toend. In the first half Auburn was well in the lead but in the last we were unable to keep up the pace. However, in looking over the scores made by the Normal girls in their tour of the state, we find that they did not suffer a single defeat and that Auburn’s score stands higher than that of any other school. We are quite as proud of that game as of those we have won. Then here’s to a a splendid team to win honors for the dear old Auburn High in Phis. Boys' Athletics Here’s to the old Auburn High, To the Scarlet and the Green. To their brave old athletes The liest ever seen. If we go to Heaven, We’ll sure give them a yell. Hut if we’re not so fortunate We’ll give it down in------ (’beer up boys! Let our opponents give it there. THE Hoys’ Athletic Association was organized on the opening day of school, September 10, 1900. Mr. Ludden was elected president, and (ieorge CSuilliatt secretary and treasurer. Thirty-seven of the fifty- five Inns in the school liecame members. Basket ball first received our attention. The prospects for a team were very poor as not, one of last year’s championship team reported for practice, and only one of last year's second team. An entirely new team had to l e organized. Taking all into consideration a remarkable good team was organized. Its personnel was as follows: Forwards, Shafer 07 and Cottrell ’07: (’enter, Simmons ’10: Guards, Keedy ’07 and Armstrong ’OH. Shafer and Cottrell both proved good forwards, Shafer excelling in team work and Cottrell being almost certain on foul throws. Simmons had his (Continual on pay W)

SCARLET AND GREEN 15 SENIOR FACTS AND FOLLIES I I FLO ANDERSON- This little lady is as good as she is fair. She expects to astonish the world some day hut hasn’t decided just when or how, but surely not by going into a state of matrimony, as it would take a very nice young man to suit her. Her chief delight is reading of “Daniel” in the “Lion’s Den.” CilANNING BOUSFIELI)-“Hap-pv Hooligan” the second, was born in the good old summer time—not last year either. When you can neither tin I him sleeping nor grinning you may lie sure he is watching a play at the New Opera House. ESTHER BEACH- Began to grow in 18 0 and never stopped until she entered the A. II. S. Since she lias lieen here, her work has been heavy and her social duties so arduous, that the burden of them stopped her growth. She poses as a society lielle and expects some day to marry a duke or a count. MINNIE BARBER - When and where this Senior was lx rn nobody knows, and she thinks the “Scarlet and Green” staff has no right to ask her. The vigor with which she declines to answer our questions leads us to believe that she is old enough to take care of herself. EDGAR CLINE This sunny-topped youth answers to the name of “Teddy,” although he walks like a professional man. He is fond of “lady-fingers,” especially when they are roaming over the piano keys. GRACE ANNE CROOKER This little maid is of a mathematical turn of mind, having taken, when approached by our reporter, no more than five minutes to compute the date of her birth, which she said was in 88. HELEN ROBERTA COLEMAN—Blessed by nature with a sweet temperament and a charming countenance, she wins hearts wherever she goes. Her bright smile lights up ••one' seat in the fourth row from the west, in the assembly room. She is specializing in domestic sciences, and besides being able to make fudge and bake pies she is now learning how to make pickles. JESSIE GONTLEY CLARKE—This beautiful smiling maid of seventeen was ! orn a few miles southwest of Auburn. Her aptitude for the exact sciences was shown at the age of four, when she counted to twenty without making a mistake. ROY COTTRELL—A boy who makes girls timid by the flashes of his eye. He expects to study law sometime in the future if he can escape matrimony AMELIA DIRKS— This gentle “Fraulein” will not disclose the date of her birth but modestly confesses it is in the eighties. In her early infancy she showed her love for music by playing Yankee Doodle on the high chair with a spoon. TIIEROX DANIELS -A winsome youth who was lorn in 181)0, and is a product of the A. II. S. He is very timid in the presence of ladies. Only on rare occasions is he seen with one but it has been hinted that when he is. his words “Flo” quite smoothly. BONNIE L. HUFFMAN-From her own statement she was born at Brock. Nebraska, sometime in the eighties. She is very studious, wishing to master everything in the A. II. S. and next Septemlier she hopes to find some country school children on whom she can inflict, her vast amount of knowledge. WAYLAND (i. HAWLEY Was made somewhat after the pattern of Mr. Simpson you can see him coming some distance away. Sad to say, we haven’t any interesting data regarding this young man’s birth. He delights in pet ting “Swan-s.” LOVE HA DSELL This maid with the beautiful brown eye was one of the senior May flowers of 1890 which sprang up near Bennett, Nebraska. As to her future she has not looked farther ahead than her graduat ion w ith the present senior class. MAE H ALL Was born at South Auburn, in 1887, hut she does not look it. She is a studious little girl and has but one fault, “giggles.” CLARA ELIZABETH HICKEY—We don’t want to make any startling statements, but this little girl was born Dec. 31, 1888. Although she is small she is mighty and when she gets big enough some young man with a microscope will find her and the A. II. S. will hear of her no more. FANNIE GERTRUDE KLECKNER—Began to chatter and coo nineteen years ago and has kept it up ever since. She is fond of driving and sewing but which will be most useful to her in life is hard to tell as her future is a sealed book. LELA KIMLER Was born in 1888, at Tecumseh. Since then she has done nothing of note except cut her teeth on a rubber doll and join the class of ’07. EARL KEEDY The possessor of the pretty dimples and wavy hair, was born in Keedysville, Maryland, in 1888. He is especially fond of class parties and gum.
