9 SCRALET AND GREEN 5 SOPHMORE SOPHISTRY Pearle Redfern is back again after a few days of absence. Ralph Quackenbush spent a few days in Dewitt the latter part of last week. Hazel Reed enjoyed a day’s vacation in Omaha last Friday. Although the evening of February 22ad was very djsmal and rainy, a most cheerful crowd of Sophomores gathered at the Friday Club hall. Refreshments are a very important factor to the Sophomores and when the social committee had finally succeeded in chasing a few naughty class mates out of the kitchen they devottd the rest of the evening to various games and amusements. At a late hour the refreshments were I passed and, of course, eaten. Soon afterwards the Sophomores departed much elated over the success of the party. In a recent meeting of the Sophomore class the motion for securing class pins was lost, but it was voted to have a class picture put in the Annual. The Sophomore class assembled last Wednesday night at the schoolbouse for a sleigh ride. The sleigh arrived about seven-thirty and everybody dim’ ed in. On account of the lack of snow in the main roads we were compelled to secure another team. Everything went on smoothly for a while until we started down a side street. There we were assailed by a volley of “ice ’ balls from some hidden fortress. In crouching down to evade the missiles, the sideboards were broken and out tumbled a bunch of frightened Sophomores No one was hurt, however, and we soon crowded back into the sleigh to start for home. We have just completed our study of Silas Marner in English. r ft FRESHMEN FRIVOLITIES Amo, pugno, Dogs and cats.

Artist CHARLES PEERY, CLARENCE TUCKER, Business Managers The work of the Editorial Staff of the Scarlet and Green for the present year is completed and we bid our many readers ADIEU. We have each acted out our several parts to the best of our ability, and being inexperienced in this line, have trusted our friends to overlook all deficiencies. We realize that there is always room for improvement and hope that the Auburn High School as it draws nearer and nearer perfection, will from year to year publish a stronger and better paper. We sincerely thank all friends, citizens and post graduates who have shown a kindly interest in our school by subscribing for “The Scarlet and Green. Some of the knockers of the school have said, and probably with some truth, that the Auburn High School is degenerating in the line of track athletics. When asked what Auburn’s chance of winning the Southeastern is, they laugh and take the idea of Auburn getting a place as a joke, making some remark about the 1-3 of a point won by Auburn last year. Now let us give you a little piece of advice. Stop knocking. It only skins your knuckles and doesn’t do yourself or anyone else any good. Even if we have been defeated several times, what is the use to croak abou it. If you keep it up you’ll spoil your voice. So cut it out. Get loyal and boost. If you can’t get out and do something yourself, help and encourage those who are trj'ing to do their best for their school. Even the boosters, when asked the aforesaid question, sigh and say they wish we could win something but are afraid we can’t. There is no more time to sit around be wailing our condition. The time has come when good, hard boosting is the only thing to do. There is not the least reason why we should not win the field meet this year, if every one would get out and try to do something. The trouble with us the past three years has been that we have not practiced enough. There are student- in the school who could do something if they would. There was a Sophomore in the school last year who, if he had tried could have made the mile run in less time than the winner did at the Southeastern. Last year in spite of all the demand and pleadings of the coach, the fellows put off practice until about tnree weeks betore the “Meet.” They left for the great eve: t of the season with three weeks’ practice, to compete with teams which had been practicing for months. You know the result. Auburn camr out at the little end of the horn. Let us take warning from the past and prepare for the future. GET OUT AND PRACTICE. We have some of the best material in the state in our
