 LITERARY AND DEBATING The Auburn High School Debating Team, composed of Louie Rogers, Alma Plasters and Mildred Hanna, have established during the last few weeks a record which few high schools can equal. Our team, as selected by Mr. Hanna, has won successively from Nebraska City, Plattsmouth and Tecumseh. This is a team of which the High school should be proud and to which should be lent its hearty support. NEBRASKA CITY VS. AUBURN. The first league debate in which Auburn is a member was held in the Presbyterian church in Auburn Feb. 19. 1909. Our opponent, the Nebraska City High school, was ably represented by William Utterback, Max M. Cohn and Milton Blundell, who supported the affirmative side of the question. The judges. Professors Whitenack. Searson and Hendricks, rendered Auburn a unanimous decision. Don’t forget the Annual. Only 50c. TECUMSEH VS. AUBURN. In a debate at Tecumseh Feb. 29, our team again maintained its prestige by defeating their opponents and adding another victory to their score The Tecumseh team was composed of Morgan Davis, Robert Davidson and George Chamberlain. Well, Auburn won again, so see that your friends have all subscribed for the Annual. A cook died in Brooklyn the other day worth $200,000 and the papers say she left no heirs. Have they looked in the butter? Cautiously our gang hero crept up to the redskins tent, slowly lifting the flap he peeped within. There lay the sleeping Indians. He raised his trusty winchester and took aim at the heart of the nearest savage. Purple whiskered Pete the Pirate never missed his mark and—(to be continued) —Curzon. Mr. Hanna —What is a direction, did you ever see one? Icky—Yes, sir. Mr. Hanna — Where? Icky—On a medicine bottle I asked the lady for her hand. In the sweetest tones I could command; £he answered me in accents bland, Go to papa. And when 1 found that he was dead And the kind of life he had lead, I knew her meaning when she said. Go to papa.

SCARLET AND GREEN 9 EXCHAKC.ES To all of our Exchanges—The Scarlet and Green, with this issue, makes its final bow for 1909. We hope during the past year that we have, in some way or other, been of some benefit to you. We have appreciated the criticism we have received and we have tried to improve our paper by following some of your advice. Exchanges have been especially helpful to us this year as this is the first time for many years that the Auburn High school has published a paper. We have often had occasion to refer to some worthy models and our exchange table has always seemed the best place to go. The exchange table for 1910 gives you a cordial invitation to be on its list. Acorn. Oakland. Nebraska-You have a good paper for your first issue. Work hard and grow. Minister—My work in life is to save young men. Miss Shively—Oh, do save me a nice one, won't you? Advocate. Lincoln, Nebraska—Keep your advertising and reading material separate. Also get more cuts and you will find you have made quite an improvement. Ole Bennett-“Love me and the world is mine.” L. H.—It's yours. Avalanche. Telluride, Colorado-In choosing an exchange story for your paper, we are glad to see that you chose one that was original in our school. “The Haunted House” by Alma Plasters. When you copy a story from a paper, you should give the paper from which you copy credit for tne story instead of merely marKing it Exchange. Bob A.-Don't worry “Cur” because your becky has turned you down since you lost your money. There are as good fi9h in the sea as ever were caught. Curzon—Yes, I know, but I’ve lost my bait. (We’ll bet some Senior girl will have the nerve to get sore now.) Forum, St. Joseph, Missouri-Your February “Nonsense” department was fine. And they sang in opening exercises, “Zum Rhein, Zum Rhein, Zum Deutschen Rhein.” Hastings Collegian. Hastings, Nebraska-Your March number was up to your usual good standard. “Nuff sed.” Mr. Wagner (tapping on desk) Order! Order! Voice (in rear of room)-Ham and eggs, please.
