EDITORIALS: This is the first class annual presented to the public by aclass of the High School and we hope that each succeeding class will take up the work and thus keep up the standard we have placed for the Senior Class of the Auburn High School. In editing this book we have tried not to use any partiality and the class has labored unitedly to make it a success. We have always tried to be broad in our views, placing school before class spirit, and we are glad to see upon leaving that there has been developed within the last year, a High School spirit which has never existed before. We wish to thank those who so kindly con- tributed their pictures to ““The Star” for we feel that they aid greatly in making it a success. Our book may not equal those which may follow but we beg you to remember that this is the first ‘“‘Star’ that ever rose to illuminate the proceedings of the A. H. S. We, who are about to leave this school around which cling so many memories, deem it a privilege to have attended the A. H. S. and to edit “The Star,” which we hope may arouse the sympathy of its readers to a fuller recognition of the privileges afforded by our own High School. Although some of us may not realize it, it ranks among the first of the High Schools in Northern Ind. Ward Building. HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING. Main Building. The STAR O4 — dbo SOS MeL e iO le ten é By LONA A. KRUM Sees | GE It is our privilige to live in an age, when accomplishments in art, science and inventions have reached a point far beyond the wildest dreams of men a hundred years ago. ‘The marvels of today throw into obscurity the traditions of ancient heroes, handed down through the lapse of ages. We, who live in the twentieth century, scarcely realize the difficulties against which our ancestors struggled. Soon the history ot the world will depend upon a younger generation, upon which wil! rest great responsibilities, and in meeting these successfully, education is a great factor. It is our good fortune to have in our little city a splendidly equipped High School. Four years ago, twenty boys and girls decided to take offered, and gathered at the High School building, all filled with eager curi- advantage of the opportunity osity. Seniors in all dignity, promenaded in twos and threes and looked with pity at the Freshmen, while busy Juniors chatted in groups. ‘The new boys and girls were not held in suspense, however,but were assigned seats in the room opposite the main assembly room. ‘The incidents of that year will never be forgotten. We were led into the mazes of algebra with Mr. Brown as guide, and were otten astonished by the rapidity with which he Mrs. Richards Latin with all its case endings and conjugations, and we found explained its intricacies. introduced us to that our motto, ‘ Work and Win’’ must be applied with all zeal.

Music was made a great part of the school work this year, with Miss Hoffman as a most able instructor, Only ten out of the twenty Freshmen remained steadfast to the end of the first year. After a pleasant summer vacation, our class, now increased by one, again entered school, this time as Sophomores and were well enough acquainted with High School life to give valuable hints tothe Freshmen. ‘This year we had new teachers, Mr. Tyner as principal, and Miss Hodge as assistant. Mr. Tyner took us through the remainder of algebra, and introduced us to geometry, with all its theorems and exercises. Miss Hodge proved a very able teacher in Caesar, although we found that we must make an entire change in pronunciation. We are very proud to say that our class did not ride through Caesar’s campaigns and fight his battles on ponies, but as plod- ding infantry, opposed to the cavalry of some of the following class, we struggled through dreary marches of indirect discourse or hurled weapons at some hostile construction. This year we added Macbeth to our list of acquaintances and dipped a little into the poets.

When the cool winds of autumn were blowing, we again took upon ourselves the duties of school life, as Seniors. This was destined to be the most noteworthy and exciting year of our High School life. For all four classes organized and class spirit reached a tremendous pitch.

This year apart of the class in the translation of Virgils’ Aenead, followed the wanderings of the hero, Aeneas, and his Trojan companions. In German we read the play ‘ William Tell,’’ besides a number of In English we studied the plays, « As You Like It,’’ and ««King Lear,’’ ex- tremes of comedy and tragedy, and gained some knowledge of short stories.

It was a Leap Year Party and the name was all the more suitable, since we were a class of girls, only. There has been a strange silence since then, and school life has been especially quiet, made all the more noticeable, when compared to the beginning of the year. For every one has been very busy, the concert, contest and usual school work having fully occupied the time. We have now completed our four years of school work and the happy school days are over, happy in spite of difficulties and hard work and this evening is the last link in the chain which binds us to our school life as the class of 1904. I presume our history is not very different from that of pre- ceeding classes, nor will those to come depart very widely from the established pattern. Yet, after all our two classes are ex- actly alike and as we look back over the last four years, we think of many things just our own, which makes us feel that our class has an individuality of its own. Our motto, ‘ Exeellency may be applied as well to one manner of life as or Nothing,’ another, in school or out and if we keep that our standard, as we go through life, we can hardly fall short of success. Now my story is ended and as the dazzling sun of the class of 1904 sinks behind its western hills, let all the world stand up and say, ‘‘this was a class.?’ BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Our happy school days now are o’er Although our numbers have grown less We do not lack resourcefulness. We’ve labored hard for four whole years And for the future have no fears.

Instead of doing as they were bid They went to the cellar and there they hid. We don’t know why they did this way Unless they didn’t know what to say. And on that night there were but few Who didn’t wish they were spinsters too. Our class has gifts to beat the seers And no class e’re will be our peers.

Whate’re our rank in life may be Let each her powers exert and see That still she strives ur.to her goal Which needs all power of mind and soul.

Later, Joan of Arc was defeated by the Burgundians in battle and was captured. By them she was sold to the English for $3200, and, at the age of nineteen, she was convicted of sorcery and burned at the stake. That is the way great women of her age were appreciated. A few years later, the names of Mary Queen of Scotts and Queen Elizabeth appear. But what is the fame of these com- pared with that of England’s greatest ruler, Queen Victoria. The 1gth century produced more great women, many of whom are still living, than all the preceeding centuries. Of these Queen Victoria is perhaps the greatest. ‘The names of Clara Barton and Florence Nightengale will never fade from the pages of history. ‘These women have given their entire lives to relieve the suffering on the battle field.

KEERAN ew ee ee ey, =D cS = AvsurN, Inp., JUNE 2, 1929. My Dear Frienp, Miss B—, Tonight I find it impossible to erase from memory the events of twenty-five years ago. I wonder if you remember as well as I that it is just that long since we, eleven girls of 1904, re- ceived our diplomas from the Auburn High School. Since then the wheel of time has revolved and its revolution has brought the members of the class to their various destinations, toward which we resolutely set our faces June 2, 1904. There was that mixed feeling of joy and sadness that those who have experienced saying good bye to school days can best define; joy because life with its possibilities was before us and we thought of the words of our motto, ‘ Excellency or Nothing,’’ and | think we all silently resolved that night to keep this thought in mind and by using the weak powers which God had given us reach the highest goal attainable. However, above all our ambitions was that mutual deep feeling ofsilent sadness as the thought came that the time had come to cut the bonds of that pleasant class fellowship which had marked twelve long years of our school life. How we talked it over that night. How we dreaded to say good bye to the good times which a school girl alone understands how to have. We _ seemed to think that all was over until some one quoted that little stanza, thinking it especially applicapable to our case. « Dreamer, waiting for darkness with sorrowful drooping eyes, Linger not in the valley bemoaning the day that is done, Climb the eastern mountains and welcome the rosy skies, Never was the setting so fair as the rising sun.”’ But I must stop my soliloquy, for that is not my purpose in this letter. It has recently been my great pleasure to learn the whereabouts ofall the spinsters of 1904, and thought you would be inter- ested in hearing of them too. I met several of the girls, for which I must still call them, recently at Washington, D. C., where I went to attend the inauguration. I arrived at Wash- ington the night of the third of March, and went to tne hotel. The next morning as I was in the dining hall I was attracted by the appearance of a young lady and an elderly gentleman at a table opposite my own. ‘There was a facination about the young lady I could not resist for J thought I had seen her somewhere. Later | encountered the same people. ‘The gentlemen was a very distinguished looking man and as I_ came upon them, a gentlemen whom | knew to be our SOPHOMORE CLASS.

The STAR state senator stepped up to him and shaking him by the hand said, « Well Judge, so you have them home at last.’’ I soon learned that this was the chief justice of the U. S., and when the daughter said with the sweetest voice I have ever heard that she was going to Indiana in a few days to join her mother, who was at Auburn visiting girlhood friends, my curiosity became aroused, but J soon had it satisfied when I learned that this was the daughter of our old friend Zoe Gibford. learned that mother and daughter had been abroad for about I atterward three years while the daughter was cultivating her voice. That day I attended the inauguration and I only wish you could have been there. It was an event which I shall never forget. It brought tears to the eyes of many and still I could not tell why. After having been conducted to the white house by a splendid escort, in which detachments of the regular troops took part, Miss Joy Shutt, laying her hand upon the Bible, took that oath which has been taken thirty-four times betore and for the first time by alady. The inaugural address was given from the eastern portico of the white house ina voice so clear and distinct that it could well be heard by the vast multitude. The American people certainly should be proud of their government, for have they not something to be proud of, Miss Joy Shutt as President, and Miss Julia Mott Hodge as Vice President. The next day I thought I would doa little sight seeing. I oy first went to the government printing office and after visiting the press and also the composing rooms I was ushered into the editor’s private office and there seated in the office, opposite the editor, a lady, who the moment | entered rushed up to me and shook hands so familiarly. I could not remember ever having met her before until she laughingly placed her card in my hand upon which was engraved, ‘‘Senatrix Swander.’’ I knew Miss Swander had gone west immediately after finishing school, but I never supposed for a moment that her purpose was the study of law. But I understand that she won such honors in which she attended that she was elected to fill Miss Swander told me that she intended starting for a visit to her old home the law school the vacancy made by Senator Smoot of Utah, the next day. I had not intended returning so soon but thought I would accompany her. However, | wanted to visit Washington’s monument so we decided to return via Mt. Ver- non. We spent about one-half day at Mt. Vernon and while there we noticed a group of sight seers among whom was a lady We both spoke of her, saying she looked so strangely familiar but could not place her. At last we both spoke of Floride Lackey, but thought it could with dark wavy hair and blue eyes. not be she, but we were mistaken for at that moment she recog- nized us and then we spent the remainder of the afternoon with her, She told us that she was mistress of a country seat in Florida. Her husband but she said that Was not with her, The although she had many trials and losses in life she had managed to keep—Kool. That evening we started for Auburn and I am sure I felt well paid for my visit to Washington, D. C., for it has taken me back to the days of my girlhood. However, when | was off the train at Auburn and safely on the street car going to- The next day we went to call upon Jessie, that is Jessie Trowbridge, wards home | felt like singing «‘Home Sweet Home.’’ she was then. She is married now and living on Ensley Boule- vard. That is just south ot Ensley Avenue. The street which was then Ensley Avenue, is now the principal thorough- fare of the city. Lake Shore, beauty. The Union depot at the Junction of the Vandalia and B. O. is certainly a thing of The postoffice stands on that site ofthe old lumber vard and the police station the next block on the other side of the street. The principal high schoo! building is upon the site of the school house at the Junction. It was changed in order that it might be more central, for you know Garrett was taken into the incorporation in 1910 and Waterloo two years later. But I must not tell you about all the improvements, for you can see those for yourself. I never told you about the wedding I attended some time ago, did I? Jessie’s stepdaughter was married, I have forgotten to whom, but I think the wedding was the prettiest I ever wit- nessed. It was not so large as it wasa home wedding. How- STAR ’ O4 ever, there were about eighty guests. You know their home is so large and roomy, and the floral decorations were something grand, but my attention was detracted from this and also from the bride by—what do you think?—why just the minister, for I did not know who was to perform the ceremony until she stepped into the Rev. Clara Feagler performed the ceremony. the room and then | recognized her in a moment for she had dignified. I had known that she was preaching, and she certainly is doing a fine not changed much except to grow more work, I had the pleasure of hearing her at the Episcopal church, Detroit, a couple of years ago. I suppose you have heard the romantic story of Doris Grogg, have you not?’ Immediately after leaving school, you know Doris had a very hard fall. Thatis she fell in love, but her mother objected so seriously to the young man that one dark night she fell from an upstair’s window into the arms of the object of her affections and nothing was heard of her since until about a year ago when they returned to Auburn. She said they had at first gone to the Philippine Islands where her husband executed some government commission, and later they had gone to Australia. She said that at first fortune was very kind, for her husband invested what little he had in land which proved to be agold mine, but later they had had misfortunes and lost almost everything. Wishing to save what little remained, they returned to Auburn and bought a bank. The STAR ? Og By the way, have you ever heard Lona Krum lecture? I had not aeen or heard anything of her after the summer of 1904 until a year or more ago when she was here giving campaign lectures. I had a short talk with her and she told me that she was stumping Indiana. She certainly is a fine oratoress. | could not have helped walking up and casting my vote for Miss Shutt after hearing Lona, even if I had not so intended. I understand that Joy says that she feels she owes her success in Indiana to Miss Krum’s speeches. I see my letter is getting rather lengthy, but | must tell you about the surprise that met me when I was to Chicago day before yesterday. I hada lady friend who was coming from California and I had promised to meet her at Chicago, so in the afternoon I took the flying machine and flew over. | expected to return before evening, but when I got there my friend had not arrived and as I had nothing in particular to call me home I decided to remain until morning. | did not know what to do to pass the time until I learned there was to be such a fine lecture at the Auditorium theater, so | bought a ticket. I was very early but nevertheless when | reached the Auditorium the house was packed. I heard two ladies back of me talking and they were simply in raptures over the lecture; I heard one of them say that she had heard her at New York two years previ- I paid little attention to their conversation further than to anticipate a ous but thought since that time she had been abroad. delightful evening, consequently | was not prepared to see Lulu Bateman walk onto the plattorm. 1 could scarcely wait to speak to her, but time flew in the wonderful discourse that I learned at what hotel she followed. was stopping and ordered to be driven tothe same. I had quite a long talk with her yet that night, and she said that she had just returned from Europe, that she had been at St. Louis and while there had learned that Dorcas was also there. You know Dorcas was converted to Catholicism some time ago and Lulu said she did not see her for she was in a convent and expected to follow the life of a nun for she expected to take the veil in a few weeks. It makes me shudder to think of it, but I suppose she is happy for she always was such a shy and timid little body. Well, I must close this letter. It has certainly made me see the differences that have come into our lives; differences which we so little thought of then. Whether we realized it or not, in one sense of the word, those were our happiest days. As someone quoted that little stanza twenty-five years ago tonight, to show that life was not gone but before us, let me quote one just as full of hope, for though life is nearly all spent, there is still something to live for. « «Dreamer, waiting for darkness with sorrowful drooping eyes, Summer and suns go gladly, and wherefore dost thou repine? Climb the hills of morning and welcome the rosy skies, The joy of the boundless future; nay, God Himself is thine. FRESHMEN CLASS.

Harrison Class Song When the fall term ot 1903 opened our music director, Miss Hoffman announced that an orchestra would be a desire- able addition to our High School. In response to this call the orchestra was at once organized and began practice, meeting regularly every Saturday evening at Miss Hoftman’s home. The musical training which the pupils of our public schools receive not only enables them to sing but makes it compara- tively easy for them to learn to play orchestral instruments. Results exceeded all expectations and in a very short time the orchestra was prepared so furnish acceptable music for any occasion presenting itself. And occasions were not lacking. and To and The numerous receptions, High School entertainments some outside events have been enlivened by its music. Miss Hoffman the credit is due for promoting, training directing the orchestra. She has devoted much time and energy to it and may justly feel proud of her success. We expect to see the Auburn High School Orchestra grow in mem- bership andin musical excellence and to be a permanent factor tor good.

In the spring of 1904, it was suggested that the Auburn High School should attempt to have a field day, and an organi- zation was completed early in March of 1g04 for this purpose. The High School boys immediately commedced to prepare for this event, but soon found they would be compelled to give it up this year on account of a lack of material for entrances into all of the events. Although compelled to give up now; they will soon be able to make up one of the best track teams in the state, if they keep working energeticailv. It should be noted that we now have a State Athletic Associ- which the enough to join. ation Auburn High School will soon te strong ‘The whole strength ot the High School is exerted toward making the association a success.’ The faculty movement to extend clean is in full sympathy with every athletics. AUBURN HIGH SCHOOL FOOT BALL. For among those leading in foot ball. the High School with the best team that it had had for some was more material trom which to the Auburn High School has been The season of 1903 found Many years past time; this was because there select, because the manager Mr. Casebeer is energetic and has those business gliglities which enable him to surmount the difh- culties which have stood in the way of raising money to meet expenses, and because the captain, Mr. Hines is cool, firm and manly, and isa natural leader in the game. The team was composed of sturdy boys of good moral character, and great credit is due them for manly conduct, ef- forts in an honest way to make their team successful, ard play- ing a clean game from start to finish.

BASE BALL ORGANIZATION. For a number of years the Auburn High School has put a fine base ball team in the field, and this year it promises to be the best of all. They have played three games with Garrett and won allofthem. There are quite a number of other games scheduled and will be played later in the season. ‘The Au- burn High School base ball team is prepared and able to meet any High School base ball team of Indiana. But again as in fo ot ball, a great obstacle is in the way of its success, is not having a suitable ball park. It would be a_ great help to the boys if there was a suitable park and we wish that the city The STAR og might see its way clear to support one. BASE BALL TEAM OF I90O4.

We had _ hoped that the school board would be able to give us alittle fiinanciai support in fixing up a tennis court in a part or the unused portion of the school grounds so that a tennis organization might be perfected. This was especially desired, because it would give the girls some athletic training which everyone knows is essential to rounding out the education of the girl as wellas the boy. Fora girl can stand mentle exertion when unaccompanied by physical exercise no better than a boy. We hope that the time is not farin the future when the Au- burn High School can support not only a tennis court, but other means ot providing physical exercise for girls. They are very patient and contented with seeing the boys successful while they stand back andlook on. Itis our earnest desire that these girls may be provided for as well as the boys. | GENEROUS PATRONAGE. Elsewhere in the Star may be found several pages of adver- tisements of Auburn business men. The Senior class of ?04 feel very grateful to them for such a generous patronage which has made it possible to publish a much larger book than was first contemplated. The reader is invited to notice carefully every advertisement. ‘Io those firms who are not represented our sentimerts are dedicated in the following: « We don’t wantto buy your dry goods, We don’t like you any more; You’ ll be sorry when you see us, Going to some other siore, You can’t sell us any shirt waists, Four-in-hands, or other fads, We don’t want to buy your dry goods If you don’t give us your ads.?? 7) me ae on north-west corner of the Court House square, EY Fa “Whosoever shall give a cup “The blossming of women un- to deeds of philanthrophy gives us ahint of the truer forms of society that are to come.”’ —FRANCES E.

That Mr. Tyner wore a feather in his hair one whole after- noon. That sleighing was fine this winter in the north end of town especially around telephone poles. That Verah Myers increased her correspondance to thirty this winter. That sixty cents will buy refreshments for seventy people. That lace curtains should be used in the High School building. That there are not enough studies in the High School course Greek should be added. That Burgess Fitch once wanted to be a sewing machine agent for a Tucker (Faye) went with very machine.

That the Juniors are going to make a new banner. It is a good idea. That some of the Sophomores are becoming poetical.

What course it is so many of the High School students take through the office. Why the Juniors didn’t decorate the hall. Why Jess Shull can’t eat without apple pie. What became of the Juniors blue shades. Why John Hoff looked so longingly out of the window when he was requested to throw his gum out. How much the Juniors paid for their Gibson drawing.
