The STAR Of Hehe on eA; R reed, OFF AUBURN HIGH SCHOOL, oD CS EDITOR IN CHIEF JOY M. SHUTT. ! ASSOCIATE EDITORS LULU BATEMAN. DORCAS PROVINES. 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.

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. Many stumbled in the midst, but were assisted to use by the ever kind (?)—-Mrs. Richards. with Shakespeare in his two magnificent plays, ‘«The Mer- She made us acquainted ? chant of Venice,’’ and «Julius Caesar,’’ and also gave us some important points in etiquette. 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
