class play given at the Maclay Opera House. It was rendered in a delightful manner and greatly pleased the audience. April the twenty-sixth our class gave the annual Banquet in honor of the departing Senior class. A splendid four course dinner was served, after which they were entertained by music and toasts given by members of both classes and faculty. This year our holiday was one-half day. We went to Howe in a hay rack and spent the afternoon playing ball and looking at things. We soon tired of it however and started home early. We held our final examinations in the court house so the workmen could begin tearing down the old building, for we were to have a new one in which to complete our course. Although school was not started until October the seventh, the new building was not ready, so we began school as Seniors in the spacious apartments of Souder’s hall. These we shared with the Juniors. On re-organizing, we found that Geraldine Bell and Edith Dort had left our class. We were delighted by the entrance of Bertha Wagner. James Allen and Hazel Gerlaw were re elected and Willard Whitmore was chosen as treasurer. The class was represented in all the athletic teams. There were three men on the track team, four on the baseball team and four on the basket ball team. The class of 1914 suffered a crushing defeat from both our base and basket ball team. We stood first in the Interclass meet which gave to us the High School Championship. There was a girl’s basket ball team organized in which the seniors played the leading part. We also had two of our members on the debating squad. The last Monday in April found us in the new buliding. The large rooms, high cuttings and spacious lobbies awed us at first but we soon became used to them. Our feelings toward the new building were hard to analyze. We wanted it and were glad to attend it but our class history was formed in the old building and its place in our affections cannot be replaced by grandeur. But this cannot hinder the great pride we have in being the first class to graduate from the new high school building. Our class flag of lavendar and gold was the first flag to wave from the flagstaff of the new building. This was accomplished by a trick of a few Seniors and we were soon forced to take it down- But the honor was ours and could not be taken away. The annual Senior picnic was taken the twenty-eighth of May. We resolved to visit historic Brownville. The day was happily spent in sight seeing among the ancient ruins and bluff climbing. The Senior class play “At the End of the Rainbow,’’ was given June the tenth. Nearly every member of the class took part. It was a great success for much time had been put on its preparation. Our pride in our class is great for we are not only the first class to graduate from the new building but are the largest graduating class the Auburn schools have ever had. We wish to thank the faculty for the help they have given us and hope that much happiness is in store for them. The Senior class have overcome all obstacles with such decisive victories that we may be sure success is in store for them. —Ester Wood

Willard Whitmore FIFTY CENTS PER COPY UNTIRING EFFORT CROWNED Our period of uncertainty is over. The period of greatest usefulness has come. Auburn now has for its use one of the most splendidly furnished buildings to be found anywhere. The High School as it stands complete represents the careful planning and watchful oversight of some of the most public spirited men of our city. The Board of Education have given up a great deal of their time and attention in order that the young people of this vicinity might enjoy the fullest privileges which now accompany the modern high school education. Those of of us who have only played the part of anxious onlookers will not appreciate fully the service rendered by ;these men to the community. Their service is a real contribution to the community and probably more far reaching in its results than any other they could perform. The business men of the city have responded loyally to our canvas for advertising- Nearly every business line in the city is represented. Their support is appreciated and through their kind assistance only is this little volume possible.
