SCARLET AND GREEN 27 YELL lli, there! Hi! there! Who are we? Freshmen, freshmen, Don't you see? Wait a hit! Wait a hit! You'll see then We'll he it, in 1910. Martin Souders.....................President Martha Lorance................Vice President Vera Anderson......................Secretary ('lass Colors Lavender and (lol l c On the morning of Septemlier in, Hmmi, the sun shone brightly, and the air was full of gladness, but how different were the hearts of the forty young people who wended their way to High School and for the first time became Higt) School students. As they entered the doorway their hearts seemed to beat loud enough to be heard all over the building. They dodged their own shadows and shook with fear when a teacher chanced to look their way. Hut how soon that feeling passed away. The pleasant faces of the teachers gave them courage, and they soon realized that they were the most important factors of the Auburn High School, for without the Freshmen there could Ik no Sophomores, no Juniors or no Seniors. m Karl Goddard entered the Freshman class the second semester. He is one of our best athletes and a credit to the class. c The first semester, Mr. Ludden. took the Freshman Physical Geography class to Echo Park. A very interesting and profitable afternoon was spent in classifying work and studying the formation of land. Mr. Ludden will not be with us next year and we are very sorry to lose him. but what is our loss will lie Fremont’s gain. € We are a class of world known fame. And would you like to know our name? We are the Freshmen of this school, And without us who would rule? We have the at hletes here, And as to hall-players. We’re without peer. Considering class yells. We're just fine, We can beat the Sophomores every time. Our girls are fine at basket-ball. They can beat the Seniors, grave and tall. As to the J uniors. The’re not in it. Oar students would t eat them in a minute. Considering everything, I say. We have the l est class in every way. K. J. W. m Our English classes this year have studied “The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner. “The Vision of Sir Launfal and “Selections from Browning.’’ Miss Bullock, our English teacher, made these poems very interesting, and we shall never forget them. m We have earned one-half and one- |uarter holidays t his term. The class that entered the High School this year is said to be, and is. the most talented class that ever entered the Auburn High School, and why should it not be? Have we not such people noted in history and science as, Anderson. Reed. Bryant. Bell. Clark, Young, Simpson. Hanna. Stoddard, Bennett and Holmes? (Continue on page 29)

Every one entered into the work with pleasure and good will and in the course of the semester were glad to welcome Edith Lambert, Mary Barnes. Hazel White, Cozier Oilman and Earl Elliott from other schools. c Several of our class took Parliamentary Law during the first semester. We organized under the name of “High School Regulators” and had many exciting discussions and a great deal of fun over our mistakes. When this class was brought to a close by a change of studies for the second semester, we felt that we were capable of presiding over almost any meeting. c Fate was against the class of l!XM in April, for several, including Edna Hanks, George (vuilliatt. ( uy Rhodes, Mabel Bath. Edith Lambert and Minnie Bath, were detained at home on account of the measles. «r The Botany students welcomed the early spring for we are required to get forty specimens for our herbariums.

Vesuvius c The tenth grade is said to lo a remarkable grade. It is noted for its foolishness, smartness, determination and perseverance, but it makes its best record in school work for they have endeavored to make this year one worthy of mention. mr We enjoy the distinction of l eing the first and only class to gain a quarter holiday for twenty perfect days in succession, spending this in making preparations for the party for the boys. We also spent one-half day in order to attend the trial, in which we were disappointed as the court room was already crowded. The class then separated, many wending their way to the skating pond where one of the girls was reminded of the coldness of the water by falling through the opening in the ice. We still have at our disposal a quarter holiday which we are expecting to use for a picnic near the river m.

Auburn supporting the Negative Resolved that the Japanese should be admitted to citizenship on the same basis as Europeans. Floyd Mellot ’07. Varro Tyler '08 and Chas. Peery dm were chosen to represent the High School. It was to have occured April 12, but on account of the death of a relative of one of our Representatives it was necessary to postpone it for two weeks. Then word was received from Walioo calling olT the Debate. No satisfactory reasons lieing given efforts were made to have them re-consider their action but to no avail. Our team had spent a great deal of time and hard work in preparation and had an extremely strong Debate prepared and were contidend of Winning with ease. Walioo evidently had came to the same conclusion regarding our abilities, hence their decision was to call off the Delia te. They should lie excused however as this is their first year in Debating. Next year perhaps they will have courage to get to the tiring line.
