('lass Motto—“From Ability to Action.” «r NOTICE. A good way to spend your leisure hours is in looking at the senior class pins. Your time will not l e wasted in doing so. C7 The social functions of the senior class were rather scarce the first part of the year, hut we have l een making up for lost time the last two months and a general time, which the class of ‘07 only knows how to have, was reported by every member of t he class who was present at each event. m The “Pie Feast” given by the senior girls, in the club rooms of the court house on the evening of March 0, being something quite unique, seemed to take well with everyone and both old and young came out to enjoy the contest of those good old home-made pies A. .L L. (made by the senior girls’ mothers.) «r The Humboldt seniors were our welcome visitors Tuesday, April Hi. Their attitude during their short stay could no have l een better and we hope they will come again. They were invited out to supper by different members of our class and a hurried reception was given them in the evening, in the club rooms of the court house, which were beautifully decorated for the occasion. They departed at a late hour, each declaring they had had a fine time. On Wednesday, April 17, tlie seniors took a half holiday, which had been earned by perfect days. Some were iniustrious and cleared up the remains of the reception which hid been given the Humboldt visitors, a few prospective school “inarms” visited various schools, w hile a few prospective (?) took lessons in domestic science. c The annual Inter-class field meet took place at the fair grounds April 11. and as was anticipated the Seniors ‘ walked off” easy with honors. Those entering from our class were: Harrison Shafer, Roy Cottrell. William Rowen, James Bellas, Bert Parker, and Way land Hawley. A reception was given in their honor, the following evening by the Senior girls. A fine time was had by all and the refreshments were “doubly” enjoyed by some. «r Rev. Pettit, of the Christian church, will deliver the class sermon on Sunday evening liefore commencement. at the New (h era house. Mr. Pettit is a pleasant speaker and has many uplifting ideas and those who hear him cannot help being benetitted by doing so. A debate was held at Beatrice, March 22. bet ween the Auburn and Beatrice high schools, Auburn l e-ing represented by three of the Senior class, Edna Snow, Bonnie Huffman and Roy Cottrell.

SCARLET AND GREEN ALUMNI DEPARTMENT l =□ Graduates we of the Alumni, greet you. After following in the footsteps of your predecessors along the educational highway of the Auburn High School, you are about to become members of our host of immortals. This is not particularly your fault, but is the result of a custom dat ing back to that dim and misty past, when the class of 1889 had become possessed of knowledge to such an extent that its further al -sorption in the high school was impossible nay, dangerous. Graduation was the natural result—and the Alumni followed. This class of 1889 was in fact the Alumni mustard seed, which, taking root, has year by year grown with each succeeding consignment of graduates until in A.D. 1907 its dimensions has assumed gigantic proportions. But still there is no fear of there not being room for the new' arrivals. Each spring old Conductor Time asks us to “step up front, please,” and we move forward another year. Laughing and talking, the Seniors swarm aboard our car, waving farewells and shouting good-byes to their Junior companions at the High School. There are a few moments while we give our new associates hearty words of welcome and congratulation. Then our car starts with a jerk, for our conductor does not believe in sentiment, and we are off to the hurry, jostle, noise and hurly-burly of the world—the world with its success and failure, its pleasure and pain, the joy of accomplishment and the dull heartache of hope deferred. And at almost every street crossing in this busy life, some of our meml)ers leave us and on we rush, for Time makes no allowance for stops in his schedule. Seniors sometimes resent the patronizing air and paternal anxiety vouchsafed them by the Alumni. This we always overlook—making due allowance for t heir youth and the jealous care with which they protect what they consider their newly found liberty. We felt the same way once, ourselves, and therefore have due charity. But sooner or later our newly welcomed members of 07 will learn, as have older members of the Alumni. in taking their places in the world, there is a vast difference l etween many a High School theory and the actual practice, shoulder to shoulder with other men in the battle of life. This statement is in no sense a diatribe toward our glorious Alma Mater: she has done the best for you she could in the way of general information, as it is not within her province to dictate your future life work. As High School student you should have absorbed those general instructions: as an Alumnus you must learn to segregate from the total mass that knowledge which bears directly on your chosen walk in life. Unless you choose to be a “schoolma’am you will have to '‘unlearn much so far as carrying into actual life-work all the branches taken as a Senior. The study of botany w ill not help you to any alarming extent should you take up law as a profession: nor will an average of 99 in ancient history or la tin give certain evidence of your dazzling success as an electrical engineer or foreman of a pie foundry. Rut neither will these studies hurt or hinder you. The pioneer class of 1899 is the leaven which leavened the large—and constantly growing lump. In the past eighteen years the ranks of the Alumni have been swelled by the same number of graduating classes. These classes have been composed of varying numbers of students, but have shown a gradual increase the Class of 07 breaking all records in point of numbers. The following is the record as shown by the archives of the Alumni: ( lass of 1890 tt “ 1891 8 tt i it 1892 9 tt tt tt 1893 it tt t. 1894 0 it ii ii 189.) ii t. it 1890 1 ii tt tt 1897 12 it tt ,t 1898 4 ii tt 1899 12 it tt tt 1900 18 it 4 4 M 1901 20 ti it ii 1902 17 • • 4 4 1903 18 ft ft tt it 1904 .. i M t. 1905 20 tt it 1900 “ 4 4 4 4 1907 “ Verily a goodly number, representing today in the ranks of the Alumni many of the alert and successful business men of Auburn and Nemaha county and the rest of the world-and the feminine contingent appearing as the prudent and successful housekeepers, loving wives and help meets, and the fond mothers of the Alumni of tomorrow'. The Class of 07 is soon to become members of our organization and assume their various studies in the great university of life. The personnel of the class justifies great expectations as to their ultimate success in life. Let them not forget their Alma Mater in the busy years to come, but, as members of the Alumni, be ever ready to welcome the yearly advent of new members, proud of our swelling numbers, and with words of hope for the coming success of each new addition. At our annual reception we will leave our various duties in the professions, businesses and trades behind us, and remembering only the pleasures of school life, again. Graduates, we of the Alumni will greet you.

Ernest v as alw ays one of the leaders in scholarship, athletics, literary and cade. work, and he has l een missed from every line of work. Even the Seniors join hands with us in the hope that his recovery will l»e permanent and that he will ! e able to resume ids school work in the fall. The class of ’oh had a regular monopoly on the declamatory contest this spring which was t,o determine the representative of the A. II. S. at Heat-rice on the 3rd of April. The contestants were: Helen Stowell. Opal Ball and Edna Barnes. Edna Barnes succeeded in taking first place wi h Eli .a-lH‘th Stuart Phelps' “Mary Elizabeth.-' The mem-Im»rs of the class escorted her to the train in high glory, and, although the Fates were not with Edna when the judges made their decision, the students have great faith in the judgment of their teachers, who say t hat she would certainly have taken first place had they been judges. When she returned she was given an informal reception at the home of Rosa HutTman, where the girls laughed and the hoys ate ice cream to their hearts content. m The annual Junior-Senior reception, which is to Ik held at the Keedy Convention hall on May U will Ik too late for account here. w The April Fool social, given by the Junior class, at the court house, on April 1st, was a rousing success. There were about one hundred and fifty present, and about $10 was added to the class treasury outside of expenses which amounted to s. It is the old story. When the Juniors undertake to do anything it has to go. They are only waiting for their Senior year to make things hum in earnest. c The Juniors have not stood as high as they might in athletics on account of the small number of Inns in the class and the ahsence of some of the members on account of sickness. Roy Kuhlman. howerer, has made a name for himself by making eight points in the interclass meet, and will lie one of the leading at hletes next year. c The Juniors have l een wrestling with Milton's “Paradise Lost. in English. We find this text very difficult, and have to go very slowly, but it is so different from anything we have studied that we find it very interesting. W have also completed Tennyson's, “The Princess. and Sliakespear's “Merchant of Venice. ' c It is the general opinion of the scholars that Physics is t he most interest ing study of the course, and certainly of the Junior year. Our class had an especially fine time the evening Prof. Simpson conducted us to the X ray and power. Dr. Lutgen was kind enough to give us an evening in his office, where he showed us each in turn the bones of our hands, wrists and elbows. as well as several other electrical phenomena in connection with his machine. We then went to the power house where the dynamos and engines were explained by the teachers as well as the employees. Everyone had a fine time as well as learning lessons they will never forget. ..
