X Senior Class History (5SJ- THE fall of ’25, sixty-three Freshmen entered Auburn High School with the highest of hopes and ambitions. Even in this early stage, we wisely saw the need for leaders and so elected Neal Andrews, president; James Roby, vice-president; Homer Meyers, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Underwood was elected our sponsor. In athletics we were well represented. James Roby made first team in football, and a class basketball team was formed. Six students of the class were honored scholastically by receiving “A” pins. Elizabeth Sloan, Neal Andrews, and Avis Wiser took part in the operetta, “Once in a Blue Moon.” Many social events were held, and our freshman year passed happily and profitably. The next fall, the members of the same group were reunited and received the title of Sophomores. Class officers were elected: Ervin Sailors, president; John Reed vice-president; Homer Myers, secretary and treasurer. We also elected Miss Knipe as sponsor. Nina Burdette proved her capability in debating by attaining the honor of being chosen for first team. Ervin Sailors, Neal Andrews, John Stevenson, and John Reed won letters for their achievements in athletics. “A” pins were presented to five sophomores. Lillemor Taylor was awarded the medal for first prize in the Lincoln Essay Contest. Neal Andrews, who carried an important role, and Lillemor Taylor, who took the part of solo dancer, represented us in the operetta, “Pickles.” Social events again brought us joy, and our second high school year passed thus. Before we hardly knew it, we were given the title of Juniors. We showed great discretion in electing our officers, choosing those who, we thought, were capable of upholding, our newly acquired dignity. These were John Reed, president; Homer Myers, vice-president; Charles Clarke, secretary; and Lois Schriefer, treasurer. Miss Knipe and Miss Marsh were appointed our sponsors. In athletics, Neal Andrews, John Stevenson, Edward Allen, Homer Myers, and Cleburne Stokes won letters. Neal Andrews was wisely chosen basketball captain. Nina Burdette again represented us in debating. “A” pins were presented to ten Juniors. In music Lois Schriefer won first place for contralto solo and Roger Druliner, second place for tenor solo. Seven Juniors took important parts in the operetta, “All At Sea.” Our class play, “Peg O’ My Heart, proved a decided hit. The social functions held during the year were cleverly planned and helped to strengthen the friendship which had been made during the Junior year. At last, we were Seniors, those “beines” looked un to with such awe by all classmen. In this, our last year, we carefully chose our leaders: John Stevenson, president; Homer Mvers. vice-president: and Charlene Clarke, secretary and treasurer. Miss Marsh and Mr. Breternitz were appointed as our sponsors. In debating we were again ably, yes indeed, most ably, represented by Nina Burdette. In athletics. Neal Andrews. John Stevenson. George Kreglo. Byron Gordon. Clarence Warnke, Cleburne Stokes, Homer Mvers. John Reed, Walter Wulf, Edward Ely, Ervin Sailors. Charles Armstrong. Burdette Cowell and Dale Skeen received letters. John Stevenson was chosen football captain and John Reed as basketball captain. A number of seniors took important roles in the operetta, Purple Towers.” Nina Burdette was awarded the medal for first prize in reading at the M-I-N-K tournament. Thus we have struggled and striven to make the history of the Senior Class of ’29 worthy of your praise.
