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

7 SCARLET AND GREEN school. If we work diligently there is no reason why we should not win the statue this year and the next and the next. Of course there is no need of beginning the rigid dieting and hard practice which comes a few weeks before the striggle but neither is there any need of eating anything and everything We should begin to take light exercise which will work off any superfluous flesh and which will strengthen the muscles. Any of the habits which go to weaken the muscles should be stopped if we would be ready to meet the requirements. We have noticed several of the upper classmen out practicing for the various events but have seen only a few Freshmen out. Now. Freshmen, you are the ones upon whom the honor of your school will rest for 'he next four years. You may not be able to do anything this year against the higher classmen, but if you compete this year, even if you don’t win anything, you will be in better condition next year. Students of the High School, get out and practice. If you will we are sure that the statue which is now in the possession of Falls City High School, will adorn the front of our assembly room the next year and the next and the next. To Whom It May Concern: On the evening of March 18, there occurred one of the dirtiest, meanest, most low-down, contemptible, despicable affairs which has ever happened in the history of the Auburn High School. On the evening mentioned, a debate took place between a team from the Nebraska State Normal School of Peru and c.ne of the Auburn High School Alumni Association. Following the debate, the members of the A. H S. Basnet Ball squad intended to give a candy feed for the purpose of buying a picture for the school Annual. The candy was placed in the entry, ready for sale, and the door locked Sometimes, however, iron bars will not keep out thieves and robbers. During the debate some of the tough, rowdy element of the town, also members nf the High School, climbed in at the window and, taking two large platters full of candy, made their escape, eating what they could and then, after the fashion of hogs who want to k®ep others out of the trough even after their own stomachp are full, the ruffians threw the rest away, kindly returning the platters. This dirty trick was done by members of the school. Furthermore, these renegades who did this are known to the editor and he highly resolves that their names shall be published abroad and that every member of the school and every citizen of the town shall know who they are. They should be ostracised from the society of all good students and citizens, and if the scoundrels who perpetrated this base atrocity had their just dues they would be placed where all thieves find their bode. The Editor. TREATISE ON HIGH JUMPING In the beginning was earth created; then, stop watches were invented. Figure for yourself how long the A. H. S. has been without one. But at last, tlsnks to the Holmes Gilman Publishing Co , Unl’t’d, the which is composed of Carl B. Holmes, Scaretoonist to His Majesty the King of Spades class of 1910, and Cozier Wellington Gilman INCORPORATED, class of 1909, we are to have one. These two young men, who are the big squeal in this matter, put their heads together and-PRESTO—behold A Treatise on High Jumping, benefit of stop watch for A. H. S. This little book is a bandy thing to have about the house, to lend o your neighbors, and when the baby has torn the cover off may be worn as a chest protector and liver pad. Everything in it is new and down to-date, why even the paper and printer's ink had never been used before, so it is with great pleasure, ladies and gentlemen, that we recommend it to the afflicted. (Thank you.) Don’t forget boys, that the baseball and track season has now opened, so all of us get busy and keep our flag high in the air.
