Classes before us have left various things. Our class determined to revive an old custom that has lain dormant for the last four years, that of publishing a Senior Year Book. We wish to thank the teachers of the High School for the knowledge we have gained; the patrons of the High School for the interest they have shown in our work; and the other classes, both above and below our class, for the many pleasant times which we have enjoyed during our High School course. We ask you to accept this book in the spirit in which it is given. Do not find fault with it on a literary basis. for we know we are only amateurs. “We have only crossed the bay, the ocean lies before us.’ Please accept this vol- ume with the best wishes of the class of Nineteen Hundred Nine.—EbpitTor.

HARRY MCINTYRE This is Harry so solemn and grave, Tho’ he looks cowardly, he really is brave: Thru’ Dutch you ougnt to see him go, For thru’ all the hard passages, he lightly doth row. GRAYCH CONRAD Grace, the artist of the class, Is a pretty, gay and winsome lass Glass Poe, My theme is a boy starting out into life To brave with mankind all the struggles and strife, That can come to a person throughout the long years; To brave them with boldness and not with weak tears. Although kicked and cuffed by those older than he, As a child he worked hard some great man to be. He saw great men and boys all around him each day; So he used all the power that in him there lay. The next time we saw him, a young man quite fine, He was all for gay fun, and a jolly good time. He had lost the ideals that he had when a boy, And now. cared for nothing but rollicking joy. But yet as years passed, and he older became, He came back in the race, without that disdain Of hard work, which he had a short time before; So he struggled and labored for many years more. As an old man his riches and worth became known, Throughout all the lands, where his great fame had flown. For wisdom they thought him to be without peer. When his death came at last his name remained dear. Not unlike this man’s life has our High-school life been; The same strifes and struggles have met us therein. The boy, with the scorn of his elders to cope, Was the small trembling freshman who worked with great hope. The young man who cared for nothing but fun, Was the Sophomore class of which they counted me one. The Juniors, with all the hard work at that time, Corresponded quite well to the man in his prime. lass Poeit--continnen. We Seniors with knowledge and wisdom supplied, With good credit for the work in which we've been tried; Are we not like the man, with his riches and fame, Who, after life’s battles, so honored became? So now that we have our old school and its ties: Thrown out in the world to the top soon to rise: Give us mortal memory, if we’re denied the divine, Please do not forget this class of “ought nine.” Glass Prophecy, Haves, September 8, 1960. For the benefit of the surviving relatives and friends of the Glass of 1909: al PASSED from the world on the first day of August, 1960, having lived to a ripe old age. Immediately after death my shade was taken across the river Styx and set down in Hades to await the judgment day. I soon found out that the only respectable club in Hades was that of the “Associated Shades.” The club building was an immense structure and one of the most beautiful I had ever seen. I learned from the shade of Shakespeare that this had been planned and constructed by the greatest of modern architects, Merritt Bran- don. The name of Merritt Brandon aroused in me a wish to find more of my old school mates, and. looking up the club membership I found the names of every one of the class of 1909 except Hurshel Fitch. Consulting the shade of Cleopatria I found that it was quite possible for a new shade to give a club din- ner to the shades of former friends. So invited the class of 1909 (expect Hurshel) to an informal dinner in the club dining room and found out the princi- pal events in the lives of each. After leaving school Fred Shearer went to college and studied Civil Engi- neering. He married his first and only love, Gertrude Renner, and with her help, (as Fred always says) he constructed and put in working order the Pan- ama canal, which up to Fred’s time had been a failure. He also tried to turn aside the waters of the Niagara in such a manner as to produce enough electric- ity to light the whole United States, but he lost his iife in this undertaking. His wife soon followed him and | found them planning a canal through Hades. Paul Swisher became a great politician, but like many other men of his calling he found more money in stump speaking than in filling the presidential chair. He married Nellie Zimmerman and together they traveled over the country in a Zimmerman automobile. Leon Barnhart as a school boy had been very much interested in farm- ing. After leaving school he began raising potatoes and onions on a small farm just outside of Mooresville. He created a new vegetable with both the nour- ishing properties of the onion and the potato with the onion smell eliminated and at the time of his death Mooresville ranked next to Chicago in the world’s most important cities. Leon said very little about his married life so we con- cluded that it had not been a happy one. Merritt Brandon became the greatest of = A architects and he put before the public a new style of architecture which became widely used. He married a country girl and as they lived in the crowded city Merritt built a house with a barn in the basement and the chicken park on the roof. Glass Prophecaz.--continues. Ruby Syedell lived a very quiet life but she was very well known for her literary works and charities. Ruby was wedded to her work and needed no hus- band, and as Grace Conrad became a widow early in life the two lived together. Ruby wrote popular books and Grace was known far and wide for illustrating the same. Jesse Fleming taught school a few years and then married a very rich Ger- man lady. With her money he founded a German academy in Pennsylvania, and it was a great honor for even German children to be educated in this school. Faith Hines married her old sweetheart, Kirby Sprott, after many years of separation on account of a misunderstanding. Faith traveled a great deal as her husband sold a cold cream which would make hair grow on bald heads. Amos Adams did not go away to college as he expected. He clerked in several stores and finally set up an establishment of his own. His wife, the former Harriett Leasure, helped him in the store until household cares claimed her at home. Harry McIntyre spent his life in Auburn which had become a great city and it was generally conceded that it was through Harry’s efforts as manager of twelve great factories. He never married as he publicly declared that women did not know enough to vote and woman suffrage was agitating the whole coun- try at this time so Harry found little faver with the ladies. Ralph Refner took a position in a fashionable men’s clothing store as a model and before his death he purchased the same. He married Myrtle Mc- Clellan and it was an undisputed fact that they were the best looking couple in the city of Auburn, where they resided. I learned from the shades of my former schoolmates that Hurshel Fitch was justa shade too shady to belong tothe Associated Shades.’ Heconstructed several airships and before killing himself he killed four other people experi- menting with his machines. The shades of Hurshel’s victims refused to allow him to belong to the “Associated Shades.’”’ He married three times, and each time it was a girl from Garrett, a small suburb of Auburn. I was very glad that so many of my school mates became prominent men and women but was not surprised as we were a very remarkable class. As for myself, if you wish to hear of my life, come to Hades and I will tell you. History of Class ’O9. In September of the year nineteen huidrel five a class of thirty-nine students was enrolled in the Freshman Class. We were placed in charge of Prof. H. L. Brown, woo was associated with Professors Waizaoe2r,e Miss Glen- dening, and Supt. Hippensteel. We took up the usual work of the Freshman year, and carried them through with good results. TheSophomore year followed, with Prof. Lower and Miss Alspaugh as new instructors. Only twenty-five were enrolled during the year, the decrease being due to various causes, Harry McIntyre was our presiljent during both the Freshman and Sophomore years. Next year following the thirteen Juniors met in class meeting and elected Amos Adams as president. This was avery int3resting and pleasant school year for all ths class. Avsled party to the home of Mr. Barnhart, came in as a lively time for all concerned. Then there was that reception given to the ‘O08 Seniors, and the picnic given by the girls of the Senior class. The picnic was surely enjoyed by all, especially those boys who afterward were at some expense to the doctor on acount of indigestion. Fortunately there was an increase to fourteen in number in the Senior year. This has been by far the busiest year of the four. A class meeting was held at once, and Harry McIntyre was again elected president. It was decided that we as Seniors should get out aclass annual, both for the benefit of the school and of the patrons. In the meantime Professors Langston, Magginis and Miss Baxter proceeded to crowd on lessons at a prodigious rate, so that, all things taken together, we have been a busy class. As we look back over the four past years we are caused to feel justly proud of the records, which we have broken in school work. A large per cent. of the original number fell by the wayside, during the first two years. This however has been. the rule, we are told, ever siace the High S3hool began. ° After all there has never been much history connected with the Class of 709. A Roman Emperor once said, “Happy is the people whose annals are meagre.’ Ours is but the “short and simple annals’ connected with the daily strife of school life. We hardly dare to judge the future by the past, because of its simplicity. We feelinstinctively that something different, something more harsh is in store for us. Whatever it may be, may we meet it with the same determination, and the same results, as we have in the past.—HIsTorIAn. JUIN TOR: Junior Class History, In September, 1906, the good ship ’10 set sail from the port of Prepdon. There was a goodly crew gathered on the decks. The winds were fair and the skies were favorable. Of course we all felt a little green. During our first year’s cruise we had with us Admiral Brown. Our ship sailed for many uneventful days, through fair and cloudy weath- er, during which we were directed through Algebra, Latin, English and Physical Geography, which had been before unknown expanses of the great sea of know- ledge. The last week of the cruise we held a class meeting and chose Wint Ketchem, Captain. Finally we decided upon black and gold for colors, after many disagreements. Once in a while during our triumphant voyage, a passenger fell over- board. So slightly reduced in number, we finished our first year’s cruise. Then we anchored fora season. Our ship lay at anchor what seemed to be three very short months. The next September we renewed our voyage with three new students. We felt better now as Sophs, the green effect having entirely worn off. This year we explored the sea for more Algebra, Caesar, English and Ancient His- tory. The latter half we look up Geometry instead of Algebra. This year we held our meeting early, Arthur Rakestraw was made cap- tain with others from the crew, as officers. Some tried to change the colors but we still kept the old ones. About Thanksgiving we landed. The Soph girls having challenged the other girls of the High School in a game of Basket Ball. We are proud that the Sophomores won. There was a large crowd at the game, the Soph. boys and boys of the other classes tried to out yell each other. The days were uneventful till just before Xmas, when we had a bob party. The boys of the other classes of course felt slighted sothey followed us. They attempted to take our bob away. However the Soph boys succeded in holding it, and took one of the Freshies a prisoner. We had several debates this year, both in the class and with other High Schools. Then we gave our time to the unexplored seas until time to anchor. With September we again set sail. We are a wide awake. jolly, energetic class, although our number has decreased. Two new passengers joined in our voyage making a totalof nineteen. Nevertheless we expect to explore extensive- ly in Geometry, Physics, History and Cicero. At our class meeting we still re- tained Arthur as our captain. Another attempt was made to change the class colors, but nevertheless in vain. We close this year with the annual reception to the Seniors, which we hope will be a grand success.—HIsToRIAN. JUNIOR CLASS HK. MOR SG) EeELO) Sophontore Class History. The Sophomore Class is the largest and most brilliant ever in the Au- burn High School. We have thirty-two members, eight of whom have been to- gether since the Fourth Grade. No other class dare boast of more writers, musicians or artists than we. As a whole we are as good as the average class. Although some get unruly, the goodness of others make up for this. This un- ruliness in some is caused by the push and vim that will put them at the head of the ranks both in business and social life. Our aims are ‘to be second to none” in numbers, brilliancy, virtue, and athletics; to promote to our fullest capacity the Auburn High School and make it greater than any High School in a city the size of Auburn. In this aim we have fostered athletics: first by giving four stars to the football team, Messrs. Williams, Sprott, Lawhead and Weaver; secondly, by a great majority of us be- longing to the athletic society; and thirdly, by all of us attending its contests. Not only do we foster it by athletics but by conduct, cleanliness and by refuting any statement against it.—HISTORIAN. CLASS. + sd OPHOMOR E os Somnet to Sophontrores, To Sophomores these lines we must direct That they may profit from experiences Which did our days, now past, so much affect. Consider not outward appearances For they are full of evil and deceit Be-fooling those who do not probe beneath That face meant to so cleverly defeat The statesman, or the plowman of the heath. Do not allow yourselves to know dismay When work accumulates in such a mass That it appears as an endless array. For that is when honor comes unto your class. He who would seek for knowledge and for fame Will never find a straight and narrow lane. HRESHMAN. freshunan Glass History, On September 9, 1908, thirty-four Freshmen were assigned seats in room three of the High School building. On looking over the room we saw many familiar faces but an equal number of strange ones, many having joined us from the various district schools. We were now to take up a new course of study. It was indeed very new. We were led by Miss Baxter into the mysteries of our first foreign lan- guage, Latin. Botany, the study of plants, was conducted by Prof. Langston. Algebra, a study new to nearly all, was under the direction of Prof. Hippensteel. After having a taste of the three new studies we were glad to take up our English, with which we were somewhat acquainted. This was taught by Prof. Magginis. who had charge of this division. Music and drawing were ably taught by Mrs. Hendra. Several have dropped out during the year for various reasons while a few have joined us from time to time. Most all other Freshman classes had a class organization but Prof. Hip- pensteel gave us a short talk, telling us how unnecessary it was. In part he said: “What would a duck do with an umbrella? What would a rat do witha violin?” Then, “What would a Freshman class do with an organization?” The other classes have helped us to make this year a most pleasant one and their associations will ever remain a bright spot in our memory. And though we’re only Freshmen now, And mistakes we make galore; But Sophomores soon we hope to be, Where much hard work’s in store, As Juniors you may hear from us; With lessons hard we'll delve; Next as Seniors we will greet you; Then Hurrah! for 1912.

Schools were established in this part of the country as early as 1840. The first school house in Auburn. stood abcut a block west of the Auburn house. It was also used for religious purposes. Some of the teachers.of this time were Messrs. Mott, Clark and Dancer. The School Law concerning taxes was put in force August, 1852. Before this private contributions had been made for the support of the school. The Academy which stood two blocks west of Main Street a place now known as the park, was built in 1858. At this time the graded free school systems were inaugurated. On October 16th, 1873, this building burned down, and a piece of ground, one block west of the oldsite, was bought of Mr. Eldridge for $2,000. Here, in the year 1876, the first High School was erected, better known now as the Harrison Building. Our present High School building was erected in the year 1893. (It stands to the southeast of the Harrison Building). The Ward Building was built in 1902. There had previcusly been a school] building on the same site, but it needed repairing on account of age. The building is located on the corner of lst and VanBuren streets. In 1908 the School Board erecting a building in East Auburn, which goes by the name of the DeSoto School. In the year 1859, Andrew Larimur named the schools “Auburn Union Schools,” while in 18635, they were named by Charles Munn Auburn Male and Female Institute. The Auburn Schools were organized 1880. Commissioned 1886. The following are the principals and superintendents to the present day. John H. Morre, Prine pal 1858—59 Andrew Larimur, cs 1859—‘61 U. F. Wise, ve 1861—‘62 James E.

The work in the department of English of the Auburn High Schoolis the course used generally by the commissioned High Schools of Indiana. The form side of Language and the masterpieces of Literature are studied together throughout the course. During the first year much attention is paid to grammatical relations and to the mechanical side of written composition. Along with this work or rather as a basis for it. classics from leading writers are studied. The second year is given more to Literature proper. Much effort is made to help the student grasp the spirit of the author through the production. In this year the student will be able to see many of the fundamental relations in life to the extent that Literature will not be simply a pastime but a pleasure. The oral side of expression is given greater emphasis than before. “Reading maketh a full man; writing an exact man; but speaking maketh a ready man.” The latter part of the course is given to a study of the development of English Literature. Representative authors of the various periods are closely studied along with the History of that period. The purpose of leading the pupil into a larger view and greater sympathy with man and his movements is ever held in mind. “One is educated when he is master of himself and of his task.’””—F. G. Peabody. LATIN. To master the mother tongue we must study the other languages. The individual who has knowledge of some other foreign language is better prepared to use his own. The best knowledge of a foreign language, to promote a better use of the English language is that of the Latin. It is as essential in the High School Gourse as Mathematics. A four year course in Latin is offered as follows:— Latin I. “Bennett’s Latin Grammar and Lessons.” At the beginning of the first year a short review of the English Grammar, parts of speech and sen- tence structure is given. Then the study of the Latin Grammar, along with the Lessons is taken up. Much of the time is spent on inflections, case forms and verb forms so as to thoroughly ground students in these elementary principles. Great stress is put upon this work that the students may easily recognize the forms in his following study of Caesar, Cicero and Virgil. Some composition work is also given during the first year. Latin II. The first four books of “Caesar’s Gallic Wars” are read. Latin III. During the third year, the four orations of Cicero against Gat- iline are read. Part of the time is also spent in translating into Latin and Eng- lish detached sentences. Course of BlUdyy,--continnes. Latin IV. The first six books of the Aeneid are read during the Senior year. The study of prosody is also taken up, especially relating to accent, versification and scansion. The object of the four years’ work is to teach the student how to pro- nounce correctly the Latin language and to show its relation to the English. GERMAN. The High School Course in German is to accomplish two important re- sults:—To give t he pupil an insight into the life and literature of the German people; to drill him in the grammar and vocabulary of the language so that he may be able to use it in conversation. The work is arranged to cover the last two years of your High School career. German I. The first year of the course is devoted to the study of in- flection, case forms and verb forms as contained in “‘Collar’s German Grammar.’. The translation of easy prose into Germanand English takes up part of the time German II. The second year of the course is spent in translating along with the study of sentence structure of the following books: Hilleru’s Hoher als die Kirche, Storm’s Immensee, Schiller’s Wilhelm Tell. Part of the time is used in the translating of English Prose into German. SCIENCE. Botany is studied the first year of the High School course. This subject is so arranged as to give the student a solid foundation upon which he may be able to erect his higher course. The first three months of the year are spent in the study and classification of the trees in DeKalb County and Indiana. The next four months are reserved for the study of Technical Botany, Thelast two months are occupied with the study of flowers. Bergen’s Botany Text is used. A note book in which the classification of trees and flowers is recorded is re- quired from every student. PHYSICS. The work in Physics is taken up the third year or Junior year. The work is so arranged that it will be of equal value to the student whose educa- tion end with the High School and the College as well. The subject is studied under the heads of Mechanics, Sound, Heat, Electricity and Magnetism, and Light. The course consists of class room work, accompanied by illus- trative lecture experiments and individual laboratory work. Special attention is given to the subject, to bring out its application in every day life. NHoadley’s Physics is used as a text. Each pupil is required to keep a Glencoe note book containing a record of his laboratory work. Course ot Bt1j,--continaes. CHEMISTRY. The work in Chemistry follows the study of Physics, being taken up the Senior year. The course consists of class room and laboratory work as in Physics. The laboratory work applies the principles being studied. The ele- ments oxygen and hydrogen are first studied after which the non-metals, es- pecially chlorine, nitrogen, sulphur and carbon. The acids which these non- metals form are given considerable study. The theory of neutralization and formation of salts are also given due attention. Remsen’s Revised Chemistry and the same author's Laboratory Manual are used. This manual containing the laboratory work is required of every pupil. HISTORY. The History work extends over the last three years of the High School Course. It includes Ancient, Medieval and Modern, and United States History. Ancient History is taken up the second year of the course. It treats of Tigris-Euphrates States, Persia, Palestine, Phoenicia, Egypt, Greece, States of Asia Minor and Empire of Rome up to 500 A. D. Medieval and Modern History under the historian, Meyers, follows the Ancient History. It is a study of the Western Empire, thatis Europe. Special attention is paid to Feudalism, the Crusades, the Reformation—showing origin of our Protestant Churches of today,—the French Revolution and Political His- tory of England. United States History is studied during the Senior year. It treats of the history of the colonies when first founded up to the present time of the United States. MATHEMATICS. No subject contributes more to mental discipline than mathematics. The boys and girls want and need the quality of efficiency. This mathematics give, for it teaches the mind how to think. After you have spent these years in solving the problems you may forget their solutions but you shall never lose the effect of the mental discipline. Wentworth’s Text Books are used: Algebra:—This subject is studied one and one-half years. It aims to prepare the scholar so that he may readily take up college algebra. The subject treats of the fundamental operations with rational algebraic expressions, factoring, divisors and multiples, fractions, involution, the binomial theorem, extraction of roots, radicals, fractional and negative exponents. Part of the time is spent in solving of equations containing one or more unknown quan- tities and quadratic equations. Special attention is paid to applications and ac- curacy. Course of Stud1y,---continnes. GEomETRY:—The last half of the second and first half of the third years of the High School Course are spent in the study of plane geometry. It treats of the usual theorems and constructions with a study of plane rectilinear fig- ures, the circle and angle measurements, polygons, areas, etc. The solution of original exercises and problems contained in the text are taken up in full. The last half of the third year is devoted to the subject of solid geome- try. Itis a study of cones, pyramids, cylinders, spheres, prisons, parallelopi- peds and polyhedrons. : COMMERCIAL ARITHMETIC _ This subject under the authorship of J. H. Moore is offered as a study during senior year. It treats of arithmetic that has to do with the commerical world. COMMERICAL GEOGRAPHY This subject is studied during the senior year. It dwells upon the pro- dusts, animal, plant, mineral and manufacturers of the world along with their transportation and importance in commerce. MUSIG AND DRAWING These subjects are included in the High School Course. Although they are always in the Freshman and Sophomore years, any member of the High School may study them if he desires.

This serves both to relieve the monotony of school life, and to give instruction. Tuesday mornings are given over to the teachers, while on Thursday mornings the ministers of our city give very pleas- ing talks. We as the class of O09 wish to express to all concerned our appre- ciation of the work done for our school in the holding of these morning exer- cises.

WANTED---A WIFE Address all Correspondence to Richard Mason, 147 E. Street, W——, New York. Richard Mason, alias Jack Siliman, read and reread the above advertise- ment in the W——— Daily Herald, between violent fits of laughter. Many years before the class of 09 of the Auburn High School had been proud of his orig- inal methods of solving problems, but not one of them ever realized what a genius Jack really was. At the age of twenty-eight (28) years he was the own- er of a fine theatre, called the Loid, but was making scarcely enough money to pay his board and cigar bills on account of his inability to draw a crowd. Without rising from his easy chair, Jack lifted his feet from the mantle, and, picking up astove poker, rapped several times on the door. In a few min- utes a round faced girl appeared in answer to his summons. “Hello, Mary,” he said, “what do you think of that advertisement any- way?” Mary read the article with growing surprise. “Why that’s the address of this hotel, but we aint got no man by that name,’ she exclaimed. “No, Mary, we didn’t have until yesterday but if any mail comes for Rich- ard Mason just send it up, I’m the man.” Without waiting to gratify the girl’s curiosity, Siliman took a short route from the upstairs to the down by means of a slippery banister and was off to his club with a cheery whistle. In a few days Mary had reason to remember her instructions, for an ava- lanche of letters, perfumed or not perfumed, in every different styles of writing ever used, found their way to Siliman’s room. Two stenographers and Jack, himself, sent out daily hundreds of letters containing the following message: Dear Miss:—Of all the lettersI have so far received in an- swer to my advertisement yours appeals most tome. Iwould like to meet you as soon as possible. Would it be too much to ask you to obtain a seat at the Loid Theatre on Tuesday night of next week? I will be in the first box to the right. Wear three red roses that 1 may know you and speak with you after the play. Sincerely Yours, RicHARD Mason. On the following Tuesday night at the Loid Theatre one might have thought the occasion to be a woman’s rights lecture” judging from the num- ber of the feminine sex which filled every available seat. Box, Number 1, to the right, was watched by at least a thousand pair of eyes belonging to women A BUSINESS PROPOSITION -c� 0vss whose most distinguishing point was three red roses. But the box remained empty throughout the evening. Behind the scenes the proprietor was chuckling softly to himself, “stamps twenty-five (25) dollars; stationery, twenty (20) dollars: stenographers, thirty- five (35) dollars: advertisement ten (10) dollars; total expenditure, ninty (90) dollars. Sold the theatre today for thirty-five thousand (35,000:) raked in about fifteen hundred (1500) tonight. This town will be too hot for me tomorrow. Guess | will go back to dear old Auburn and politics.”’ AAR ACE POR EO VE “Tl win that race or leave for Europe tomorrow and stay there.” said a young man of about twenty-five years of age to himself, as he stood on the pi- azza of the Hotel Ormond at Ormond, Florida. on the eve of the great automo- bile races. This young man was Herbert Taylor, a graduate of Pennsylvania the year previous, and a son of James E. Taylor the multimillionaire of New York. The race he referred to was the one mile free for all, in which he was going to enter his one-hundred-horse-power Mercedes car which had been prepared especially for this race by being geared to aspeed of one hundred and thirty-five miles per hour. Now young Taylor wished to win the race for two reasons, one for the race itself, for the championship of the world, and also for a far greater reason, “For the best little girl on earth,’ as he fondly expressed it. Miss Grace Seeley had graduated from Pennsylvania with Taylor. All through their college life they had been together and Taylor had thought there was no girl like Miss Seeley since they had first met. But, alas! true love never runs smoothly. Taylor had a rival in the person of Harry Saunders of San An- tonio, Texas, who also was a member of Miss Seeley and Taylor's class at Penn- sylvania. He, also, was head over heels in love with Miss Seeley, and as may readily be imagined Taylor and he were not the warmest of friends. It was dif- ficult to say whether Taylor or Saunders had the better chance as Miss Seeley always seemed the same to both of them and so the wooing was a lively affair. It was broadly hinted that Saunders had a very shady past, that he gam- bled and led adouble life during his last two years at college. Of course, none of these reports ever reached Miss:Seeley, although Taylor was well aware of them: but he was too much of a man to tell Miss Seeley. He also realized that she would not believe it until it was proven which of course he could not do. So their college life went cn in this way. One time Miss Seeley was with Taylor and the next time she was seen it was in the ccmpany of Saunders, but of course, there is an end t o all things and everybody who was in any way inter- ested wondered who would be the lucky man. From her earliest college days, Miss Seeley had had a large train of admirers, as she was, if not the prettiest one of the most beautiful girls in college, which meant a great deal among two thousand other girls, so Saunders and Taylor were always enviously looked up- on as the object of her admiration. Now, Miss Seeley was a most enthusiastic automobilist. It came very naturally for her too, as her father would, as he expressed it, rather drive an auto than eat. She handled her huge Apperson roadster as most girls would play- things. So Taylor, mainly through her, became an auto enthusiast and finally determined to have a car built that would break the world’s one-mile record and drive it himself at Ormond. Saunders not to be out done by Taylor had a nine - ty-six horse power F. |. A. T. car built, which he intended to drive against Tay- PACH FOR LOVEe= ae lor. These two cars were by far the speediest in the race so it was a certainty one of them would win. Taylor and Saunders realizing how matters stood had agreed that the loser of the race would go to Europe and remain a year or two, in this manner retire from the race for Miss Seeley’s hand. Hence the exclamation of Taylor. “ll win that race or leave for Europe tomorrow and stay there.”’ At this point Joe, a newsboy, whom Taylor had often taken for a ride, thus winning another devoted friend, came running up to him and said. “Mr. Taylor, I must speak wi'h you.” ‘Gertainly Joe,” Taylor replied as they walked to the extreme end of the piazza where Joe said, “I overheard that Saunders and another fellow talk- ing but paid no attention until I heard them mention your car. Then of course, I stopped and listened, Saunders was saying You get into the garage tonight and stop up the outlet pipe of the radiator, so that the engine when running at a high speed will become very hot and lose power This must be done or I lose the race.’ “My God! Joe, you certainly are mistaken.” Taylor exclaimed, but Joe only said, “I wish I was, but | am not.” Taylor at once set out for the ga- rage resolved to watch his car. At about one o’clock a man crept up to the ma- chine carrying a bag, but upon Taylor showing himself he immediately left and nothing further was attempted. Next morning, the day of the race, dawned brightandclear. At promptly two o’clock in the afternoon, before several thous- and people, the race started. The cars were lined up, with their front tires just touching the chalk mark. It certainly was a fascinating ssene. The roaring ocean on one side with its foam-capped waves roaring and tossing on the beach; on the other side lines of people, some on foot, other in carriages or autos but all of them decked out in all sorts of bright colored clothes. In the center on the wide beach were the five machines ready for the race, their motors throb- bing as if eager to be off. and above all this the cloudless blue canopy of heaven. Suddenly the sound of the starter’s pistol was heard and the five machines leap- ed forward, but from the first the real race lay between Taylor and Saunders. These two gradually drew away from the others both running about even, until near the finishing tape, when the Mercedes forged aheai. Taylor turned the car around, hardly waiting to hear the judge’s decision, and going straight to Miss Seeley said, “Grace, will you take this record withthe holder of it thrown in for life?’’ She replied without hesitating “Yes, dear, you have truly won it, and me also.” Saunders then came up and begged Taylor's forgiveness and wished them well. “I will forgive you on the condition that you ast as my best man,” Taylor replied. Little Joe would not take money for his kind deed but upon leaving for the north, Taylor presented him with a fine gold watch with a picture of Taylor's Mercedes engraved upon it. Praises of Uature (By a member of Glass ’11) As I wander o’er the meadow, As I pick the fragrant flowers, As I rest beneath the shadow Of some tree, or neath the bowers; Then I think of reigning goodness, Then I think of God’s great Love; How he gives us Nature’s beauties, Sends us blessings from above. Listen to the murm’ring brooklet, As it dances through the wood; Hark! O listen to the singers, How they cheer the solitude! O that men, instead of cursing, Would write with Nature’s lays To respond, with Nature’s chorus, To the great Creator’s praise. Let us praise Him for the Springtime; Let us praise Him for the trees; Let us praise Him for the sunshine, Winter’s snow and April’s breeze; Let us praise Him for the Summer, And for Autumn’s beauteous wood; Let us praise Him as His creatures; Praise, O praise, for God is good. 1st I (On Observations on Higher Friendship. Friendship, the title, is hardly appropriate, for we entertain grave doubts as to whether our observations are on Friendship, or something next higher in order. Butsince it is impossible to fix any definite line as a boundary, at which Friendship leaves off and the next higher begins, we will call it Higher Friend- ship, in order to be sure to use the correct name, for the order next higher is only highly developéd (True) Friendship. We also have another good motive, therefore, for the sake of charity, whatever faults you may find in the title, we ask you in all sincerity to bear with them with the most grace possible. In the first place we note that this Friendship of which we speak, is no respector of persons. We have often seen two persons widely different in sta- tion, or occupation, or evenin nationality, who were without any doubt in our minds the greatest of friends. We would rather expect that people of nearly the same environments and ideas would form the greatest Friendships, yet our expec- tations are often badly shaken. Among our observations a particular friend of our own serves as a good example. Heisa big, fat Senior boy, one of the brilliant lights of his class, and aside from his one particular affinity is in every way a very commendable young man. But just to imagine a Senior boy, and a Freshman girl in the highly de- veloped state of Friendship. Is it not enough to shatter all our confidence in this old world? Were it not that he is our own particular friend I should be tempted to tell you more about him, but it must suffice to say a Senior; the girl a Freshman. Now what could be more astounding than just this example. This is certainly a wonderfully peculiar age. We have also in our observations noticed that in the highly devoloped state of Friendship there is almost universally a strong attempt at modesty and quiet unconcern, on the part cf the friends, while in the presence of other people. This is very rarely the manner of it in any but the one particular stage. Their talk is a visible attempt at concealment of their affections. and certainly must sound strangely in their own ears. Verily “as sounding brass, or a tinkling Cymbal.” We have often attempted to solve this mystery, yet at each attempt we find ourselves in deeper water. Why do they make such attempts at con- cealment? Isis shame or fear? Wedo not think so. If it were eitherof these why be found in each other’s company at all? Perhaps it is self-consciousness, but what is this self-consciousness? What is at the bottom of it all? We promptly admit that we do not know, do you? This unsoncern is easily discernible in the case of our Senior and Fresh- man, and is considered as a portentiousomen. When conscious of observation they appear to be as far apart as the North and South Poles. Now we know that this is not true in cases not highly developed, so that a logical conclusion as to their state may be drawn. ) 7 | , i ( | | | ! } . t bi f hi F | 4 Observations on Higher Friendship-—-o«s We have already remarked that the order next above, True Friendship was only very highly developed Friendship. Two persons meet, perhaps acci- dently, along life’s pathway, and aslight Friendship is started. This is then nourished, usually by accidents, until it has grown strong enough to gather nourishment for itself. After this the growth is very rapid, unless hindered too severly. Friendship and dislike area great deal like the two qualities, good and bad. There is no neutrality, and they cannot remain the same. If we get started to developing upward to Friendship, after an acquaintance is formed we usually keep on going; if downward to dislike, the result is that we are helped down at a prodigious rate. Emerson has said that the more intimately we knew a person the greater contempt we had for him. Now we believe that is true, when our estimation is started on the downward path, but also believe that the Opposite is just as true when our estimation develops into something higher. Of course it is harder and slower task to climb a hill, than to slide down it, but nevertheless this world is big enough to produce a few men and women who have force enough to climb. This Senior and Freshman of whom we have spoken certainly bear us out in the conclusion. | have observed for nearly a year that this Friendship was growing at a most prodigious rate, and was liable to have dire effects on our “High School,’ as well as those directly concerned. This Higher Friendship, of which we have written has one more quality to be considered, that is, Indestructibility. Whenever any attempts are made for the purpose of its destruction, the results are sure to be disastrous to some- body, either the one making the attempt at destruction or the persons of the Friendship. All of us have heard of broken and contrite hearts, evendeath en- sueing from the separation of the ones concerned in the Friendship. Those who have read Irving’s Sketch on “The Pride of the Village,” have certainly been touched by its pathetic passages, bearing on the attempted destruction of this higher Friendship. Out of the quality [Indestructibility, arises that quality of Durability, which is often illustrated in real life. Persons have been known to be apart from youth to old age, yet the Friendship was only strengthened. Our Senior and Freshman have unwittingly furnished us with an excel- lent example of the Indestructibility of Higher Friendship. This Senior, much his discredit escorted the Freshman girl to a certain place in our town, just for the sake of passing away time. Two beautiful girls from . 1 must not tell where, met him. Now what should he do but leave this Freshman girl standing there alone in the cold world, and run off with those two , yes two girls. Ah! the poor Freshman as yet unaccustomed to life’s toils was heart broken almost, and then to put the steeple on the affair, the Senior became sorry, and is now back in her good estimation again. What is your conclusion as to this Senior and Freshman? THOSE ER OWIN Baia: It had been one of those dreary days in the latter part of March. The sun had been hidden for the past forty-eight hours. A drizzling rain had been falling all day. driven by a cold, piercing northeast wind. It was the first spring thawout, after the winter’s snow, so the streets of the little Northern Indiana village were all covered, shoe-top deep, with slush. The street lights were only a glimmer in the darkness. The few straggling pedestrians made their way as best they could against both wind and rain. Presently the dark form of a man emerged from a stairway, leading from some office rooms above and started north. “I beg your pardon,” a sweet feminine voice sounded behind him. He turned and beheld a beautiful woman of perhaps twenty-five years of age, with soft brown eyes and brown hair. “Gan you direct me to a good hotel, please,’ she asked timidly. “Gertainly,” he replied. “If you will allow me to escort you there. It is but a few moment's walk. let me carry your suitcase for you.” She hesitated a moment, looked questioningly into his face, and then handed him the suitcase. They walked a short distance in silence, when she looked up: “T hope you will not think me bold for this,” she said, “but really, I was all but lost in this storm and darkness. If you had not had the appearance of an honest man | wouldn’t have asked you. But isn’t this causing you too much trouble?” “No trouble at all,” he mummured as if in a dream. “I just arrived on the night train, and, being a stranger in the town I was unable to find my way.” By this time they were at the “Jackson,” the principal hotel of the vil- lage. He set her suitcase inside and turned to leave. “How can | ever repay you for your kindness.” she burst forth. “O, don’t mention it; it was nothing.” he said, with the usual embarass- ment of aman, when being thanked for anything. He made his way through the storm and darkness to his rooms in a private dwelling house. “Where have I seen those eyes before’, was continually in his mind. “Is that you, Mr. Gray?” the voice of his landlady met him as he entered the house. “Do come down to the parlor and warm yourself before you go to your room. This is a fearful night.” But he merely spoke and passed to his room. His mind was too much taken up with the vision of a pair of brown eyes, to think of his own comfort: He sat down in a chair and thought for a long time on what had passed in the last half hour. Yet he could not recall where he had seen those eyes. This Mr. Gray was a man of about forty years of age, large, robust and usually of a jolly disposition. He was a bachelor, and the leading lawyer of his ere errr eae Ts EE ee - mest OT THOSE BROWN BY ES -cortins county. He had come to tke town five years before, and opened his law office. By strictly honest methods he had won the confidence of the peovle, and had built up a very good practice. No one knew where he had come from, nor did they seem to care. When anyone had happened to say something about his former life, he would at once try to change the subject, so they finally stopped asking him about it altogether. After he had retired, he lay awake a long time thinking about the girl he had met in the street. When he at last fell asleep a pair of brown eyes seemed to dance about his bed, in his dreams. The next day he was so wrought up that he could scarcely work. At noon he determined to go to the “Jackson” for his dinner. As luck would have it he was introduced to the woman he had met the night before. She was a Mrs. Townley from Chicago. When Chicago was mentioned he started “Why, that’s my old home,” he said to himself. They be- came slightly acquainted during the meal and he even got permission to call. From this time on, he was with her nearly every evening and every holi- day he could get. They went.walking; he took her riding; he took her to the theatre and yet he could not make out where he had seen those brown eyes. He was with her so much, that his friends had begun to wink at each other and say, Well, I guess it’s all up with Charley this time. The young widow has caught him fast.’”’ The gossips were wondering among themselves when it was going to happen. One afternoon, late in May, Mr. Gray and Mrs. Townly were driving along the quiet country roads just outside of town. The spring wild-flowers were all in bloom. The birds were singing sweetly in the trees by the roadside. A sweet perfume from the snow-white apple orchards of the nearby farms filled the air. On the whole it was an ideal soring day. After some lively conversa- tion Mr. Gray bluntly said, “What good fortune ever induced you to come to this out of the way place, Alice?’ (He usually called her by her first name.) “That's a story | would rather not repeat,”’ she replied. “Tell it for me, won't you?” he asked. She remained silent for some time and then finally said, “Yes, to please you.” “My father was a merchant in Chicago, and was in well-to-do circum- stances. Several years ago he died, leaving mother and me alone. I have heard mother say that his death was caused, more than anything else, by his only son leaving home some years before, on account of some trivial offense. This happened when | was a small child, amd I do not remember anything about it. In his will father expressed a wis h that | marry a certain Townley, the son of his partner in business, when | become eighteen. Mother died when I was fifteen, and this partner was appointed my guardian. I married Townley andthe business passed into his hands. He was not a successful business man, and when he was killed in a railroad accident six months ago, a]] but acouple thous- THOSE BROWN EY EiS---ccntnves and went to pay his creditors. Since that time I have lived with my uncle in Chicago. Uncle John Hartney is good to me, but I wanted a rest, so I came to this quiet place.” “John Hartney!” Gray exclaimed, excitedly, “was your father’s name Hartney?”’ “Why, yes” she replied, “but why do you ask?” “O, nothing at all’? he said, but a happy light sparkled in his eye all the way back to the hotel. “Will you call this evening, Charley?’’ she asked when they parted at the “Jackson.” “Yes, I think I shall,’ was his answer. That evening he asked a few of his most intimate friends to meet at the “Jackson”, as he had something important to tell them. When they had all col- lected in the hotel parlor, along with the hotel guests, including Mrs. Townley, after some general conversation, Mr. Gray began, “My friends, I have been in a successful business in this town for several years, and yet you know nothing at all about me. I feel called upon to make an explanation. My parents, with a small sister and myself, lived in Chicago. Father was a merchant. Just af- ter I graduated from High School, he and I had a few words, and I, being hot- headed, ran off. I was too proud to go back then, so I determined to make my own way in the world. I went to work, and saved money enough to take me through college. After that 1 worked at several different places until I opened my law office in this town, five yearsago. Onenight last March, as you all know, I had the good fortune to meet Mrs. Townley. Something in her brown eyes seemed to haunt me, and draw me to her. I knew I had seen them some place, but where, | could not tell. Isought her company, hoping that by her conver- sation I could fathom the mystery. At last I have solvedit. When I ran away, I changed my name to Gray to keep my father from finding me. My former name was Hartney, and this is my sister.” Alice fell on his neck sobbing, “Is it possible that I have founda brother?” They remained in each other's arms for afew moments. When they looked up everybody else had left the room. ‘And it was all because of your beautiful brown eyes, dear sister.” he whispered as he kissed her. . : ! . | | Athletics. Athletics, in the Auburn High School, is carried on, on an organized plan. We have an Athletic Association with a constitution and by-laws. (This) asso- ciation was established with the sanction of the School-Board, who have agreed to help support it. No person is allowed to play in any contest with an outside team, unless he is a member of this Association. To become a member he must sign the Constitution and pay an admission fee of 25 cents. He must also pay yearly dues of 25 cents after he becomes a member. This Association has general supervision over all branches of athletics, electing officers for different teams, etc. The officers of the Association for the school year 1908-09 were as follows: Merritt Brandon, president; Albert DeLapp, vice president: Fred Shearer, secretary; Prof. J. A. Langston, treasurer; Hurshel Fitch, Winthrop Ketcham, Supt. H. S. Hippensteel and the school board, members of the Advis- ory Board. Foot-Ball. Perhaps more interest is taken in Foot-ball in Auburn High School thah in any other game. Nearly every year a large squad of candidates try out for the team. The Athletic Association furnishes a ball, but each player is requir- ed to furnish his own suit. Our school can boast, and justly too, of having some of the strongest teams in this part of the state. Two years ago the Auburn team claimed the State Championship; it was never beaten by a High School team and played one tie game with acollege team, being beaten in another game by the same team, with a score of 10 to 5. A year ago, and this year, owing to the fact that we organized late, we were able to obtain but a few games. Yet in these few games we came out with a very creditable showing. A year ago we played two tie games with a very strong team of Hicksville, Ohio. This year we defeated the Defiance, Ohio, team by ascore of 12 to O, but were defeated by the Hunting- ton team by ascore of 6 to O, the lowest score that Huntington made during the season. : The line-up of the 1908 team was as follows: Harry McIntyre. center; George Weaver, r. guard; Nixon Lawhead, 1. guard; Kirby Sprott, r. tackle; Gage Zeigler, |]. tackle; Harry Snyder, r. end; Albert DeLapp, ]. end; Hurshel Fitch, quarter-back; Arthur Rakestraw, captain, 1. half-back; Glenn Potter, r. half- bask; Harve Williams, full-back: Fred Shearer and Charles McIntyre, substi- tutes, and H. S. Hippensteel. manager, FOOTBALL THAM. Girls’ Basket Ball. The Baske’ Ball team was organized in 1906. The grounds were fitted up in the school yard and they played until the weather was too cold, then a hall was rented. Great interest was manifested in the game the first two years. They played games with Garrett and Fremont, and many class games. But during the last year the interest has deslined as they had no hall; and only a few practice games have been played. Helen Fitch has been noted from the beginning for her accuracy in goa] playing, and Flossi2 Morrell is fine at center, Donna VanAuken and Marie He- bel have probably b2en two of the strongest guards. The captains from 1906 to present time were, Marie Thrush, Marie Hebel, Flossie Morrell and Donna VanAuken. The school board in 1906 bought Basket ball suits for the team. These suits were brown flinnel trimmed in red. They were first worn at the Fremont game. GIRLS’ BASKET BALL TEKAM. Boys’ Basket Ball. Since basket ball has been introduced into the school, a good progress has been made by the boys. Several good rooms has been rented up town at different times, and large numbers of boys have played in these. The school is equipped with a good ground, and this has been cared for in the best of manner. We also have plenty of playing material including suits, baskets and one ball. Several boys’ teams have been organized, and they have played a few games both in and out of town. Among the games played were those with An- gola, Spencerville, Kendallville and Fremont, in which the home teams came out with creditable showing. Among the good players were Rolland Fitch, Leon Barnhart, Merritt Brandon, Ghas. Emme, Jesse Fleming and Archie Hines. Baseball, In the spring of the year 1906 the boys organized a team, but they did not practice enough to get good team work. Therefore victory almost invari- bly evaded them. Again in the season of 1907 a team was organized, and al- though it showed prospects of being a good team, the lack of team work brought the downfall of the team. The team of 1908 was more successful than had been anticipated in the beginning of the season. At first things looked dark be- cause so many new players had to be broken in, but the team worked well to- gether and won a majority of its games. The boys have organized a team this season, but they haven’t practiced much yet. Therefore it is hard to say what the strength of the team will be. Gewnts. For a long time the girls of our High School had practically no athletic games of any kind. Mainly for their benefit, the School Board, some time ago, made arrangements for tennis courts and material with whichto play tennis. Three courts were made at the north side of the school grounds; tennis nets and afew balls were also provided. At first, many of the girls played the game and some kecame very profi- cient players: but of late years tennis has not proven so popular with the girls as with the boys. Several of the boys use the grounds in season and a number of them have become quite good players. However, in the Auburn High School tennis has always been used merely as a recreation or a pastime, and as yet no contests have been entered with outside schools. ° WM. MORR. VER: DWeLIE IS EAIVESAVI® EUR It is generally the custom when a class is getting up an annual, to write short biographies of the faculty, leaving out a person, who makes it possible for the students to studv and the teachers to teach. A person, who has nearly everything to do with the comfort of the teachers and scholars. I am referring to the janitor. . Mr. William Morr, janitor of the Auburn High school, was born in Gon- cord township, DeKalb county, in the year 1874. When a boy he attended schoo] in Concord township. The latter part of his schoo] days were spent in Waterloo. In 1900 Mr. Morr came to Auburn. He secured a position. which he held for three years, in the Body factory. He held a position at the Gas Engine Works for one year; at the end of that time he became janitor of the A. H. S. which position he has held for five years. He is avery industrious man, filling his position in every particular with great ability. He is well thought of by both the teachers and the pupils. The School Board will certainly be doing the scholars a great favor if they retain him in their employ as long as possible. Debating in the High School, A Debate is one of the most beneficial contests in school life. Like ath- letics it has the chance of, winning or losing depending upon the abilities of the contestants; like school work it trains the mind, thus being a great factorin the development of the person. | We, the seniors, are proud of our class and whole High School. We are also'proud of the fact that we have in our High School some excellent debators who have defended us very ably in the debates that we have thus far contended in. We have thus far since debating was agreed to be held between the High Schools of the county, figured prominently in two, both with the Butler High School. The first was held in Auburn, March 5, 1908; the second at Butler, April 15, 1908. The question for debate which was held at Auburn was a ques- tion on government which was: RESOLVED, That the English government is more directly in the hands of her people, than the government of the United States is in the hands of her people. The Butler students came out victorious, but we resolved at that time that we would win the next. The next debate, which was held at Butler, had for its subject: Resolved, that the government should own and centrol the pub- lic carriers, such as railroads and the express and telegraph systems. In this debate we were victorious. Butler can also boast of some very capable debat- ers which we have found out by our former experiences. The practice of holding debates between the High Schools have thus far been abandoned, why, we do not know. But we are confident that we can hold our own if any should occur in the future. ‘2 f fy , ¥ ut ————— = | a ee SOQ eT ee” Tokes and Grinds, Mr. M., (in arithmetic class) ‘When papering a room you must always de- duct the “washboards”’ (baseboards. ) Harry Mc., (In history class) It is easier for a “human person to live in the South than in the North.” Mr. M.

For some time it has been partially a mystery to us how the business men of Auburn have been so successful. At last we have solved it. We have decided thatit is this. and this only. They are always ready and willing to ad- vertise. ; It is to the business men of Auburn that we are largely indebted for the -successful publishing of this book. All enterprises require funds to run them. Through the generosity of the business men in their advertising, we have been able, in a large measure, to defray the expenses of this one. To any future class, which may attempt a like enterprise, ws can hearti- ly recommend the business men of Auburn as being liberal, generous and busi- ness-like in the highest degree. i The Practical Car for Practical People The McIntyre is ‘‘the car you can afford to own after you’ve bought it” Built in 25 Models, a car for every purpose at a price to suit every pocketbook.

They find the quick action which it alone makes possible, saves them time and worry and re- pays them many times for the moderate cost involved To the Business and Professional Man, TIME IS MONEY. Cor respondence by mail or telegraph takes time, traveling takes time and money—the Central Union telephone SAVES BOTH. Appointment calls handled without extra charge. Good Ser- vice and Reasonable Rates are a necessity to any telephone com- pany which undertakes to continuously give the public that which the public wants. Our Service is the Oldest and Most Tried and Always the Best. Our Rates are reasonable. Call Jong distance for rates. You will be surprised to see how cheaply you can talk to your friends in other places. The subscribers of the Central Union Telephone Company at Auburn are fortunate in that they have aclass and character of service not usually found in places of its population. The service in Auburn is modern and up-to-date in every respect, operates by an adequate and efficient force. That its worth is appreciated by the people is demonstrated by the great many hundred more subscrib- ers than that of the competing company. In fact were the du- plicates eliminated, there are but very few exclusively independent telephones in thecity. You may as well have the best. We want your business. We will please you.
