Cfre Glass of Qtneleen e j cq £ UR names are now appearing in an Auburn High School paper for the very last time as members of the school and so we are just beginning to realize what the school has done for us. It is with a feeling of deep gratitude that we thank the teachers who have so willingly and capably directed us to the top of the A H. S. Ladder. There have been steps too high for some of us to climb without the steady and helpful hands of these teachers and so they stand out in our minds as persons responsible for our achievements. But one especially of the band of teachers do we wish to thank—Miss Zoe Nims, our class adviser. Miss Nims has held this position during her two years’ sojourn in Auburn, the first year by her selection and the second by vote of the class. Miss Nims has displayed helpful and enthusiastic interest and untiring response in our class affairs. She helped us plan the banquet to the Seniors when we were “inexperienced Juniors and coached the Junior class play “At Retreat,’’ and has also put forth a helping hand in the Senior play. But these are only some of the many similar acts upon her part- So, in a few words, Miss Nims has been the center of our class circle in her advisership. This Senior class has had its accomplishments as well as the classes which have gone before them. We have had many able athletes as well as debaters and have entered into all of the school activities with great zeal. In scholarhsip we have stood high in the estimation of the Faculty, with earnest and bright minds. We have also had our share of the joys and pleasure of High School life, even if we did not have our “sneak day” or could not talk in the halls. But on the achievements let us not linger too long, for our deeds will speak for themselves. We, of the class of 1912 are proud to be the last class to graduate from this dear old high school building. We feel that we are worthy of the distinction and our greatest desire is that we may all enter into the duties of life which may confront us with the same faithfulness with which this old building has served its time and be an honor to our Alma Mater.

The next social event took place on April 18th, which was known as the Junior Program and Candy Feed. A fine program was presented and good home made candy was sold from two booths nicely decorated in scarlet and cream. This was also a great success from a financial standpoint, as it added untold wealth to the Junior class. As the year neared its close a banquet was given in honor of the Seniors at the home of John Howe on May 23. A five-course dinner was served, after which several toasts were given by members of the Faculty, Mr. H. R. Howe and by several members of the two classes. Everyone reported an excellent time, and we wish to express our thanks to Mr. Howe for his accommodation to the class. Last in line comes our holiday, which was spent on the banks of the Nemaha river near Nemaha City. We had a very pleasant day rowing about the river and were all able to be at school the next day ready to do double work. This was a very profitable year for our class along athletic lines as well as school work, as our boys helped win the Southeastern Nebraska Meet. We also made the Seniors work for their points in the inter-class meet. In the next September we registered in the dignified place of Seniors. In reorganizing we found that we had lost two of our most active members, Lutie Crichton and John Howe. As officers we elected Hazel Sutton president, Marie Mayer vice-president, and Hazel Harvey treasurer. In our last year we have spent many pleasant evenings in social gatherings. Two class parties, one of which was given us by Miss Alden. Another very jolly evening last winter was spent in a class sleigh ride. Not long after this event we joined the Juniors in a party. These events were all carried off very nicely and everyone seemed to have an excellent time. Last, but not least in the list, came the banquet given to us by the class of 1913. A very fine four-course dinner was served. After this we were favored by treats from members of the Faculty and also of both classes. This was one of the most elaborate receptions that has ever been held in the history of the Auburn high school. From the history of the class of 1912 we feel fully confident that they are able to go out into the world and face the difficulties which will be before each and every one of them as they take up their work in the future.
