Pee, ee JV AAU Sc aaaceeuennameaaanee on ake THE AUBURN STAR Published Annually by the Senior Class of the Auburn High School 1910 AUBURN, INDIANA GREETING NOTHER year is closing, and once more high and bright above the western horizon shines the ‘“AuBURN HicH ScHooL SrTar.” In its clear, silvery light stands revealed the work and play, the ups and downs of the Class of 1910—that class which is so soon to become little else than a memory. Many changes will be sean in future years; many im- provements will be made. The present view is only one stage in the development of our High School. LHE EDITORS. To the Professor of Dust and Ashes and Prince of Good Fellows SUV ORE we respectfully dedicate this book. Supt. J. A. Langston ROF. LANGSTON was born near Arcadia, Hamilton Gounty, Indiana, attending the district schools of the county, until the course was finished. He attended the Garmel High School for three years, and after gradu- ating from this school entered Noblesville High School, where he graduated. After teaching in common schools for two years he entered Indiana State Normal, where he spent two years. Laterhe entered Earlham College. He graduated, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Arts, in 5 June, 1901. He then spent considerable time during sum- mers in the pursuit of post graduate workin the University of Chicago. After finishing his college course, Prof. Lang- ston served as principal of Carmel High school for one year. He was superintendent of Avon Schools for three years. He was principal of Spencer High school for the two years following, and was then chosen principal of the Auburn High School, which position he held for one year, and is now the very competent superintendent of our schools. History of Auburn Schools af we could compare the Auburn of today with the Au- burn of seventy-five years ago, we would readily see that it has made a remarkable growth. From what was then a wilderness, has arisen a lovely little city. Where once the Indian hunted, the white man now carries on his trade and commerce. The beginning of the present city wasin 1857, when a Mr. Ogden and a Mr. Parks located a saw mill on the edge of the forest. Near this saw mill they built their cab- ins. The first store was opened by a Mr. Comstock, who began with a capital of $170.00 worth of goods. He paid the first license ever paid in Auburn, and it amounted to the large sum of 85 cents. Since a store is the sure sign of progress, Auburn now progressed rapidly. The growth of the town brought a blacksmith shop, a hotel, doctors, factories, and most important of all, pioneer teachers, who hailed mostly from the east. As the town grew, schools were established, for the pioneers realized the need of education for their children. The first school house was built near the place where the Michael Hebel residence now stands. This school house served not only the need of the school, but also for grocery, church and bar room. The attendance at the first meeting numbered about eighty pupils of various sizes and ages. The subjects taught were the three R’s, “Reading, ‘Riting and ‘Rith- metic.” The first teacher was Thomas Freeman. That he and his successors proved to be very proficient teach- ers was evidenced by their fine spelling classes. After supporting the good work for thirty-five years, the cld school house burned, and Auburn was left without a place to carry on educational work. But very soon a fine brick building was erected, in the park one block east of the present school campus. It was a modern, two-story building with a roomy basement. This school house was the pride of Auburn for four short years when it also yielded tothe flames. Two years later, the present Harri- son School building was built. The first principal was W. Harrison, and the present County Superintendent, H. EH. Coe, was assistant principal. Auburn’s schools now stand second to the schools of of no other city of its size in Northern Indiana. Of our buildings, three are comparatively new and very modern, the High School, the Riley School and the DeSoto School. We have enumerated over 900 pupils in the various schols of our city. The flight of time has marked many changes, from 7¢@5 or 80 students we have now almost reached the 1000 mark.—Raymonp Lupwia.

In Act Il, Arthur Rakestraw assumes the star part and endeavors to pilot his caste of thirty over their peril- ous voyage. The Ex-Freshmen, now known as Sopho- mores, seem to have inherited a dislike for the little lambs who have taken their places as victims. The climax comes at the end of Act II, when the Sophs. gloriously defeat the rest of the High School in a class rush, and in order to get revenge the Juniors, Seniors and Freshmen undertake to steal a Soph. bob sled, but are caught in the act and dis- persed.

Be fostered while our lives shall last, We once have been,—and Juniors too, And blood within our veins be warmed But now we are,—you need not guess. For happy hours that here were passed. For polished Seniors now are we, For four long years we’ve stood the test, As all who look can plainly see, And tried through all to do our best. Old gold and black, our colors are, We once were more than now we are, Which speaks of lasting quality, But as time passed, we fewer grew; And mourning friends, who wretched are Few though we are, our High School “Star” Since they in school, no more our faces see. With compliments we give to you. Though High School life for us is o’er, And as a class we'll meet no more; Though time has thinned our comrads out Since High School life began—but then ‘Tis done, and let us give a hearty shout, And ringing cheers for Nineteen-ten. —[Roy MAxwELL. CHASSeER@PErRCGy OW ignorant those people on the earth are! I have spent 4) this entire evening listening and watching a group of men, called astronomers, as they discuss the probability of the habitation and development of Mars. What ridiculous things they do say, too! I believe their sense of sight must be very uncultured and their hearing worse. Why, I have yelled myself hoarse trying, in vain, to make them hear; that Mars is in a greater state of civilization than the world can ever hope to be; thatI, having been a water carrier to the constructors for over one hundred years, know Mars is interwoven with a network of canals, which the magazines of earth consider as the greatest problem under the subject of Mars. I know that it is true that the inhabitants of earth have not that sense of sight, and of hearing. as the people of Mars possess, for if they had, they could not be as ignor- ant of us as they seem to be. Earth, however, is not one dull mass. It seems to be striving against great disadvantages. But one section of earth, known as the U. S. A., stands bright and clear. Educational institutions are situated in every section. Among the secondary schools that make the land famous, Auburn High School stands first, for schools of its size. Not only has the fame of its graduates spread throughout the world, but it has even flowed to Mars. This High School has been the father of many classes, but without doubt, the Class of 1910, is the greatest of them all. The greatness of this class liesin the fact that they are the children of Mars. We, seeing in them, at the time of their graduation, great promises, adopted them as our own children. From us they inherited their adva nced stage of intelligence, which has hurled them forth, before the eyes of the earth. It has been a great pleasure for us to watch and to guard the members of that class in the various paths of life which they have chosen. Helen Fitch probably has come before my gaze more than any other member, due to the wonderfully good work in which she is engaged. As President of the Aerial Nat- ional Red Gross Society, Helen is rarely seen on earth, nec- cessity demanding that she should be continually in her fly- inz machine, sailing from one field of duty to another, with only a stop now and then bn earth for extra provisions. Likewise a discoverer, Albert DeLapp, has attracted my interest. He spent years wandering and prowling about trying to discover the south pole. And now, I can see him there in his old boyhood home, where he returned after the discovery that there is no south pole. I have watched him as he wandered over the city that was once merely ‘the fairest village of the plain.’ He has been 12 surprised to see the home of Raymond Ludwig protected and cared for by a memorial society, bearing his name. For Raymond had acquired great fame as a poet, but death put out the light of this genius while he was still in the heighth of his glory. Just now the discoverer is talking with a tall, well-pro- portioned man, with mustache and chin whiskers, slightly tinged with gray. This man was Judge Ketcham. The Judge is inviting the discoverer to take dinner with him in his home that evening. Now I can see De, as the discoverer was called in High School, comfortably seated in one of the most spa- cious and most elegantly furnished homes of the city. Across the table from the visitor sits the Judge, and beside him his wife. The silver thread in his wife’s hair, along with the other changes of years, had so changed that girl into womanhood, that De is still struggling to cover his surprise. For the wife is none other than his old school- mate. Floss Morrill. Now they have finished dinner and are seated in the library. De is looking over a book, a trifle worn with much reading. Itis the annual edited by their class, the class of 1910. He had often thought of the “Star,” and the mem- bers of that class with whom he enjoyed those four bright years. Re is now saying to the Juijizge: “Tell me what has become of the members of our class, I have been gone so long. I’ve lost track, though | heard of Raymond Lud- wig. ° ‘Luddy’ always was a genius, and I was not sur- prised at his great fame.” Then I hear the Judge answer- ing and telling of Helen Fitch. Then Floss says: Yes, Peggy landed on earth the other day for more provisions, but only for a short while. No one knows how she is miss- 13 ed on earth even if she is doing a great work higher up.” Again the Judge is saying: “There are other mem- bers of the class, too, who have beencourting fame. You take Inez Magginis, for instance. The present day civili- zation probably owes her more than any other living per- son. You can remember when in High School the size of women’s hats was on the increase. Well, they continued to become larger and larger each year, until at last a man could not walk on the same walk with his wife, and a wom- an with a hat on was not allowed within the business sec- tion because two or three women with that kind of hat on would stop the traffic. Many women lacked the ability to navigate with such burdensome hats, and accidents became a common occurrence. In order to meet the tax and to identify the offending woman, owners of large hats were compelled to secure licenses, similar to those used by own- ers of automobiles, with the exception that the numbers were arranged different. At this crisis, Inez Magginis, who had dropped that Irish name of hers, substituting one of French, came forward witha new hat. To the joy of all, the hat was soon adopted by most women. Its designing was very stylish, I suppose, but if Floss hadn’t bought one, I would certainly have considered anyone crazy to even wear the things, beneficial as they were to us.” “Oh the word ‘crazy’ makes me think of an incident that occurred a few daysag),’’ said Floss. “Glenn Potter after leaving High School, secured a fine position at Long- cliffe. But when a state asylum was built here, Glenn was made chief warden. Iwas doing some shopping in the city, when I heard some one yelling franticly. Upon turning around I saw a crazy man, dressed in every color of the rainbow, pounding on a tin pan, and calling Alexander the Great to lead him on to victory. ButI had not much more than looked, when up rushed Potter, his face flaming red, grabbing the fellow, it took him but a very few minutes to convince him, that Alexander could only be found with his help.” “Yes,” the Judge is saying, “Glenn has a good posi- tion and is capable of filling it well.” But last night as I was glancing over the paper, I chanced to see Art Rakestraw’s name. Art has become a wonderful singer. He not only sings, but has written several popular operas. Probably his greatest opera is en- titled, “Why I Never Married.’ It has made a great hit and that alone has made him a wealthy man. You seea man can always write best from experience, and I suppose that is the key to his great success with that opera.”’ “So Art never married? Well, he ought to have done so. he was just the fellow to make some girl’s heart beat high.” “Well, Faust Johnson surely succeeded in making a girl’s heart beat high, that’s sure. A few years after leav- ing High School, he took a coursein mining. After grad- uating from the University he made a short and successful trip to St. Joe, for the girlhe made happy. It is here that, with Helen’s aid, Faust became the world’s greatest gen- ius. For he invented a way to make gold by combining certain unknown chemicals. He has accumulated great wealth, but like the true lad” of High School days, he is still generous. He gave the High School that beautiful gymnasium, which they have needed for so many years. He and Helen are planning to spend the winter in Africa.”’ “O, say, De,”’ Floss is speaking, “did you know how well Auburn is represented in Africa? Well, Clayton Weaver and Roy Maxwell are both there. Roy left for Africa shortly after taking a theological course. It was through his manly efforts, mainly, that Africa became the christainized and civilized continent that it is today. Ev- ery one puts his name first among the names of all mis- sionaries.”’ “Hetty Weaver become equally famous as a mathema- tician. Geometry is his main subject of study and research. He has mastered the fourth dimention and discovered a “Royal road to geometry.’ The confusion and noises of this country became too many for him, and his love for qui- et and solitude lead him to Africa, I’m not sure whether he is there now or not, but this I do know, his name ranks with Platc, Euclid and other great philosophers of the world.” “Now we mustn’t forget to tell De of all the members of the class. Who else is there? Oh yes! Naomi Brady, is one more. Naomi specialized in domestic science, but she wished to make her training as practical as possible. So she ‘set her net’ for a farmer’sson; leap year approach- ed; she was successful. In college she cooked and sewed for pleasure, now she cooks and sews because she has to.”’ “Then there’s Hazel Quince, too, Wint.’’ Floss is speaking. “She became a public speaker and took up pol- itics, ‘lectioneering for the last lady president of the United States. She makes a very good speaker. I’ve heard her several times, but don’t agree with her arguments.” “Let's see, I guess there are but two more left,” says Wint, “Shep and Teenie. Why, youcan’t have forgotten what they used to call Frank Shepard and Kent Leasure! Well, they form a law firm here in the city. Frank, the senior member, has been senator from Indiana for the past 14 seven years. A few days ago, he suc3eeded in passing a bill through which prohibited the celebration of Hallowe’en in this country.” And Kent is popular now, as ever, but especially as the author of a bill which will satisfy the national cry for simplified spelling. It seems queer that he should have wished our old mode of spelling changed, since he had mastered that science so thoroughly.” “I guess that includes everyone. Do you ever hear from Alda Elson. You know she was unable to finish with us in °10, on account of her eyes, but I’ve always felt as tho’ she was still a member.” “Why I got a letter from her,” Floss is saying, she is in London now, the head of a sanitarium for nervous inva- lids, who are cured through the influence of music. Her life work has certainly been one of the greatest of benefits to the world.” “And you” says De, turning to his host and hostess, “are truly great at entertaining at least Judge, I’ll have to take a look at you in court tomorrow.” And I see them there still talking about High School friends and teachers. But I must not waste more time on the ignorant earthly persons. Already | have spent one whole evening at the game, and | must move on, for some one is calling for some water, and in my interest in earthly men, I must not forget my duty here. SRR Ser foe eR WINTHROP WELLES KETCHAM. Foot Ball (1) (2); A. H. Ss. A. A. (L) (2); Class President (1) (4); Advisory Board (3) (4). Thesis: ‘History of the Tennre of Office Bill.” “Wint’’ has a certain dignified attitude that has won for him the friendship of his class. It is ramored that he has joined the Cavalier band to our neighboring city. How- ever, the gentle sex does not seriously trouble ‘ Wint” and there is no need for alarm. Perhaps the most noticeable trait of character, in which he has starred, is his ability to let others talk while he is silent. The motto, ‘‘still water runs deep,’ is a great consolation to ‘‘Wint’’ and it surely ean be applied to him. HELEN PAULINE PATTERSON. (Girls’ Glee Club (4); Class Secretary (4). Thesis: ‘‘Music and Noted Composers.” We are all glad to welcome ‘‘Paulina,’’ who came from St. Joe to finish her High School course. Herkind and gentle nature has won the admiration of her class mates and it proved ‘“‘love at first sight’? with one lucky chap. Her ability to carry her work is clearly shown and she is an honor to our class. FAUST EDGAR JOHNSON. Thesis: ‘‘The Hanseatic League.” How ‘Pelot’? ever escaped the nomination for the ‘biggest fusser”’ is a puzzle which none seem able to solve. He is ace high with all the girls and with one fair damsel he has trumped in. As a Freshman ‘‘Pelot’’? was little heard of, but he has gradually grown until now he is a full-fledged sport. Heis a popular fellow among his fellow students and his ineveasing good nature and jolly spirit will bea happy remembrance to his High School friends. FLORENCE GERTRUDE MORRILL. Basket Ball (2) (3) 4); Captain (8); A. H.S. A. A. (2) (8); Girls’ Glee Club (4); Secretary (4). Thesis: ‘‘Our Debt to Holland.” Floss hailed from the Sucker state, Sandwich being her home. She arrived when we were Sophomores, but her year’s absence from our High School career did not make her bashful nor mar her hasty acceptance of our good fel- lowship. In our good-fellowship she has become a cultured flower and she will leave us ready to bloom. It has been an established fact, except with the teachers, that she is their ‘ knocker.’”’ Woe unto that unhappy lad that upon her sets his eyes, for he shall raise them again (get stung). 16 CLAYTON GEORGE WEAVER. Boy’s Glee Club (4); Orchestra (2) 4); H. S. Quartet (4); Class Treasurer (2); Class Vice President (4). Thesis: ‘‘Benedict Arnold.” “Hetty’? is a caution and his laugh is a greater caution. Nevertheless we overlook that for we know he can not help it. ‘‘Hetty” is a good fellow and is always in fora good time; in fact ‘‘When pleasure and duty clash, he lets duty goto smash.”” The fair sex of Fort Wayne have somewhat strained his eyes and he is compelled to make visits to that place occasionally.

Quartet (4); Class Pres- ident (3). Thesis: ‘Wireless Telegraphy. “Shorty,” the only tall pine of the Senior class, was cul- tured and raised along the banks of Cedar River. He is proof against all earthly attacks, except one, and that is of agirl. With them he seems to have bad luck for no soon- er has he set his eyes on one, than some one else runs away with her. ‘Shorty’ has a smile that rarely fade:. This token of good nature has made him well liked among his fellows. - Ww) NAOMI LAVON BRADY. Girls’ Glee Club (4). Thesis: A story, ‘‘Sometime.”’ Naomi was born and reared in the vicinity of Auburn, and goodness only knows, but what she will live and die there. Being somewhat girlish and bashful she has never thrust her bibical title before the world, and even in a recitation itis arare treat for her class mates to hear her gentle war- ble. By tradition Naomi can certainly claim Tom Thumb as her distant relative. PIERRE GLENN POTTER. Footy Ball (1) @) (3). A. HS. A.A. (1) (2)-(3) (4). Advisory Board (4). Thesis: ‘John Milton.” “Millie” is undoubtedly one of the best fellows of our class. Though he is slightly overburdened with avoirdupois, it does not, in the least, lessen his popularity with the fairer sex. Tillie’s chief attraction is a certain sweet lass now residing in our neighboring city, Garrett. ‘lillie has been an active worker in our athletic field, where he has won no small amount of glory. He is a loyal class mate and supporter of the A. H. 8S. His one fault is his unfailing bad luck in the chemical lab. Tillie has our sympathy as we have also been at odds with fate. HELEN CHLOE FITCH. Basket Ball (L) (2) (3); Captain (2); A. H. S. A. A. (1) (2) (3); Girl’s Glee Club (4); Class Treasurer (1) (3). Thesis: ‘The Beginning of a New Agriculture.” ‘‘Pegoy”’ has a wide circle of friends and it would be whol- ly unnecessary for her to vote for herself in order to poll a good vote for the most popular girl. She is one of that class who think much and say more. A great success she will make for she has devoured the essential amount of brain food, in the form of shredded wheat biscuit and force to develop her into some relative of ancient Socrates. JOHN KENT LEASURE. Foot Ball (1) (2); Manager (2); A. H. S. A. A. (1) (2) (4)5 Boy’s Glee Club (4); President (4); Orchestra (4); Class Treasurer (4). Thesis: ‘‘Change of the American Family.” “Teenie” is surely an indispensable part of our class, both on account of his worth and on account of his noise. Like the good lad he is, ‘‘Teenie’”’ has spent most of his Sunday evenings at an Auburn home and by his superior judgment he has perceived the excellence of the Junior class. He is a jolly good fellow and will certainly be missed. INEZ FAYE MAGGINIS. Basket Ball (4) A. H. S. A. A. (4); Girls’ Glee Club (4). Thesis: ‘‘Conquests of the Lion’s Brood.” Blessed was the day that ushered in our illustrious Inez. Educated in schools of both inferior and superior standing until 1909, she entered Auburn High School as a means of polishing that education which she had formerly obtained. This she has succeeded in doing and we are proud to send her forth from our school ready to helr others out of the same rut that she had plodded over. FRANK SHEPARD. Foot Ball (2); A. H. SS: A. A. (2). Thesis: ‘Supreme Court.”’ “Orinkie’’ came to us from Hicksville, while we were Sophomores. Since his arrival he has proven himself to be a lady’s man and a fairly good ‘‘fusser.”’ For a time, about October 31, ‘‘Crinkie”’ thought he would rather sell candy than study, but finally his love for his teachers aat his patriotism for his class were aroused and he returned. He has a happy-go-lucky disposition and is always in for a good time. 18 SANS WILLIAM RAYMOND LUDWIG. HA 19 Basket Ball (4); Base Ball (8) (4); A. H.S. A. A. (3) 4)3 Orchestra (4). Thesis: ‘The Fall of the Bastille.” “Luddy,” although a little bashful, is a good fellow. He seldom tinds any charms in the opposite sex, and it surely was unfortunate for him that one of the Sophomore girls had the impudenee to ‘‘flop” him. He always has his hair curled, but has a habit of taking naps in school. How- ever, after a little more experience, he will be able to stand tne effects of late hours and his success is certain. ZEL ANGELINE QUI NCE. Basket Ball (4) Captain. A. H. 8S. A. A. (4). Girls’ Glee Club (4). Thesis: ‘‘Territorial Expansion of the United States.” While Hazel has been with us but two years she has in this shert time established her reputation as a heart smasher. Hazel’s stutue will, without doubt, occupy a plac in the temple of fame as one of the famous talkers produced and educated in such numbers by the A. H. 3S. Weare sorry to say that at present Hazel’s heart is not given to one of our H.S. beaux, viz: De, Schaab, Ray L., etc., but our grief is somewhat, alleviated when we find, after strenuous inquiry, that it is bestowed on a very de- serving young man. Hazel has been a leader in the girls’ athletics, especially during the last year, and «she has worked hard to make the girls’ basket ball team a success. ALBERT ASHLEY DELAPP.

Quar- tet (4); Class Secretary (3). Thesis: ‘‘EKvolution of the English Government.” “‘De’s”’ leading characteristic is his affinity for the girls. While he has been with us he has established his reputa- tion as a lady-fusser on a foundation as strong as Gibralter. His strong point is in trying to manipulate the strings of three or four of our A. H.S. belles at the same time. He has developed an ability for oratory which is surprising in one of such tender years (19). Not only is he a favorite with the girls, but also the boys who will unanimously de- clare him a ‘‘good fellow.”’ ‘‘De’” has helped to place our A. H.S. on the firm athletic basis on which it now stands. It is an honor to the Senior Class as well as to ‘‘De”’ that his efforts have been rewarded with an A. EDGAR ROY MAXWELL. A. H.S. A. A. (4). Thesis: ‘‘America and Its Opportunities.’ That the old saying, ‘‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” is untrue, has been clearly proven to us this year by ‘‘Max.’’ The ardor and determination with which he attacks his work is a virtue we have often heard attrib- uted to Washington and Napoleon; but a thing as rarely seen in every day life as afresh egg in a grocery store. The only point in ‘Max’s” character we dare criticise is his aversion to the fair sex. While this in itself is a dan- gerous malady, it is not incurable.

They numbered almost fifty, but as a few grew discour- aged their number at the opening of ‘O8-’09 was only thirty-one. Only a few left the class during the Sopho- more year and at the opening of the Junior year they num- bered twenty-five. The year 09-10 finds this class holding the record for a Junior Class. It is one of the first classes socially, in studies, and in Athletics. Several social functions have been well managed and those to follow are expected to be successful. In studies and in class work this class has the reputation of being one of the most studious in High School. In Athletics the Class of ’11 holds the leadership. The Foot all, Base Ball, and Basket Ball captains are from this class. Six of its members belonged to the Foot Ball eleven: five won letters: four belonged to the Basket Ball team and have honorable records. And with these good omens of the past we expect to make a successas a Senior Glass in the school year of ’10-’11.—Pui.ip CooL. Our dunior Class Since first we launched our bark upon The sea of High-School life; Three fleeting years have come and gone, With studious hardship rife. A peaceful, pleasant sail we’ve had, And favoring has been the gale; And with our aims raised high, we're glad To scoff at such a word as ’ fail.”’ Our work was spiced with healthful sports,— With Foot-ball and with Basket-ball; And all of these, the month’s reports Within our High-school paper fall. 23 Our pilots have been trusty, true; Stern to rebuke and kind to aid, And through their help we hope to view, Henceforth a firm foundation laid.

Iniciecy or Class 12 EARLY two years ago the Train of Thought started from Vacation onits way through the Vales of Know- ledge. There were a goodly number of passengers on board and as the train sped on its way a few passengers left while others got on. The scenes through which we were passing were a change from that which we had been accustomed to, for the scenery was strange and new, and as a new road is interesting, we took notice of our sur- roundings. As the way was strange and we did not understand the importance of the scenes, the conductors of this train acted as guides to point out the things of interest in the trip and to explain the more difficultscenes. These guides were four in number and were as follows: Miss Baxter, Profs. Magginis and Langston, and Supt. Hippensteel, the last named individual being also the engineer of the Train. Under this guidance no part of the trip which should ke noted escaped ourattention and we had a good understand- ing of those things which they were trying to impress up- on us. The Train sped on with but few stops, the stops which did occur being made to allow us ashort fericd of rest. These stops were of great import in breaking the mono- tony of the trip and they assisted in passing the trip off smoothly and evenly. The most of the trip was used to acquaint us with the scenes in which we were to spend a portion of our lives, and when finally we were acquainted with the route, we were told that we could now have a long period of rest before proceeding farther. After the period given us to rest had expired, we once more gathered at the station anxious to begin our journey. It was noticed that a few of the former travelers had re- solved to remain where they were, while afew new trave- lers had gathered at the station to start with us. We noted a change in our former conductor, for, Supt. Hippensteel had taken charge of another Train and Prof. Langston had succeeded him as engineer, likewise Prof. Kimmel had been selected to fill the place left vacant by Prof. Langston. On this second trip the way was not as strange as on the first and we had able guides to point out the more difficult portions of the way. The most important cities through which we passed were four, namely History. En- glish, Latin and Geometry. History was a fine old city whose very air bespoke of myths and legends and its buildings showed the Grecian form of architecture; and finely moulded statues graced its public walks and gardens. English was a city that still retained its old customs. As we arrived in this city we saw a pageant repairing to 26 the Lists of Comedy which were outside the city. Like- wise dramas were being performed the principal theme of which was the overtopling of a towering ambition. Latin was a city that had strange characters and pictures of battles over the doors of its dwellings and on its public buildings; these we translated with what help from our conductors we needed. Geometry was a city that could boast of many years PAS of prosperity. It was built in an angle of acliff and was hemmed in by a circle of small hamlets. The cliff arose perpendicular from the streets which were well construct- ed and the whole village formed a triangle. Amidst such scenes as these, we took no notice of the time and so the end of the trip drew near so quickly that we were surprised at its arrival.—JoHN KERNS.

Miss Hague was added to the ranks as teacher of Botany and also of Englishin Section I. The organization of the class resulted in the choice of Arden Green as class president.

Auburn School Board THOS. Eo oe ROU PB Nee BEC Er FRED W. KNOTT 0 ee POT carr “tad PEST AOS HEMISTRY is a fourth year study. In the class room the history, occurrence, and use of the important elements and their compounds and the laws of chemical combination are presented. In the laboratory each student studies experi- mentally the preparation and the physical and chemical prop- erties of the most common elements and compounds. Rem- son’s Revised Cnemistry is the text book. Invidual note books are prepared containing a complete record of each ex- periment. Botany is first year work. The course aims to give the student a general knowledge of plants. It includes the struc- ture and use of the flower. leaf, stem and root of flowering plants. Bergens Foundations of Botany is the text book. Each student is required to keep a note book containing a re- port of the laboratory work, in theform of notes and drawings. 31 Stella M. Hague was born in DeKalb County, Ind. She attended the Auburn Schools, graduating in 1889. She then took a course at the Indiana University and graduated in 1893. From 1895 to 97, she taught in the Auburn Schools and from 1902-1906 in the Decatur, Ill., Schools. In 1905 she re- ceived her master’s degree in botany from the University of Chicago. During the years 19J6-09 she taught in the Rock- ford Ladies’ college, and has since been the efficient teacher of science in our high school. This is Miss Hague’s first year as instructor in the High School. Itis an unquestionable fact that she is a proficient teacher, but the chemistry students have failed to compre- hend her superiority. She has certainly misinterpreted the motto;. ‘‘Yhe Lord loveth a cheerful giver,’ for she has never been known to give a higher grade than was fully deserved. ATHEMATICS is a required subject in the full course, Wentworth’s Algebra and Geometry being used in the first three years, and Moore’s Commercial Arithmetic in the fourth year. Freshmen—Algebra to Quadratic Equations. Sophomores— Plain Geometry. Juniors—Solid Geometry one-half year and Advanced Al- gebra one-half year. Seniors—Commercial Arithmeti¢ one-half year. Herbert Kimmel was born at Remington, Ind. He at- tended the district schools in Huntington County, and gradu- ated from the Markle High School in 1902. For two years he taught in the district schools of Salamonie township, Hunt- ington County, and was principal of the Rock Creek township High School two years. Was superintendent of the Posey- ville schools 1907-08. Graduated ‘from Indiana University with an A. B. degree in 1908, having majored in) mathema- tics. In 1909, the degree of Master of Philosophy was con- ferred upon him at the graduate school of the University of Chicago. He has for the past year, served very ably as our principal. At first the poor fellow looked henpecked, but soon, judg- ing from his actions, we decided that, as yet, he had never had the opportunity. It is for this opportunity that he is so industriously seeking. To most all Mr. Kimmel is cheerful and grouchy, by turns; to a select inner circle, the’members of which are always of the opposite sex, he is the ‘‘Kandy Kid.’ He has broken all his former records by sticking by a girl for four entire weeks, and, here’s hoping that he can stick longer. 32 ATIN is a required subject in the first three years, being elective in the fourth. The four year course is as follows: Latin I—Bennett’s Latin Grammar and Lessons. Latin II1—Four books of ‘‘Caesar’s Gallic Wars” are read and in connection with this, D’Ooges Latin Prose, Part I, «s used throughout the year. (Latin [I T—Cicero’s Oration for the Poet, Archias, and the four Orations against Cataline also part II of D’Ooges Latin Prose. Latin [V—The first five books of Virgil’s Aeneid. Some time isspent in the study of accent, scansion, and mythology. Ancient History which is also taught by Miss Baxter is a Sophomore required subject. Myers’ Ancient History is used, and with it the Ivanhoe Note Book. — Mary KE. Baxter was born and reared at Auburn. She at- tended the Auburn Schools and graduated in 1896. After graduating she taught four years in the Auburn Publie Schools. She then entered DePauw University, graduating in 1907. Since then Miss Baxter has been engaged in our Au- burn Schools. Sheis an all round ‘“‘good fellow” and the star manufacturer of cherry pies and fruit cake. She is loved and revered by the students (especially the Senior class) for her good nature and her excellent fudge. She acts in the capaci- ty of a father confessor to the little freshmen, and a consoler and an information bureau to thelove-lorn. To be established in her good graces and to be an intimate friend of her cherry pies is the highest ideal of the school. es Ea re a NGLISH is required throughout the course. FRESHMEN Hitchcock’s Enlarged Practice Book of English Com- position is used throughout the year, along with the follow- ing classics: Irving’s Sketch Book, Dicken’s Christmas Carol, Scott’s Lady of the Lake, Franklin’s Autobiography, and Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice. SOPHOMORES :—Lockwcod and Emerson’s Rhetorie¢ is used, along with the Deserted Village, Ivanhoe, Silas Marner, Sir Roger de Coverly Papers, Henry VIII, Sohrab and Rustrum, Henry Esmond, Tale of Two Cities, Vicar of Wakefield and Lorna Doone. JUNIORS:—Newcomer’s American Literature forms the basis of history study. The whole of the year is given to the fol- lowing American authors: Irving, Cooper, Washington, W eb- ster, Lincoln, Bryant, Holmes, Lowell, Emerson, Hawthorne and Poe. SENLORS:—Newecomer’s History of English Literature is used in connection with the following authors; Chaucer, Pope, Byron, Wordsworth, Keats, Shelley, Browning, Macaulay, DeQuiney, Lamb, Tennyson and Carlyle. 2 IF RITES SPIE TICINO eUNOR and Senior History comes under the instruction , of Mr. Magginis. Myers’ mediaeval and Modern History with the Ivanhoe note book, being used in the Junior year, and Hart’s Essentials of American History in the Senior year. Willis D. Magginis was born in DeKalb county. Hegradu- ated from the Newville school and attended the Tri-State col- lege. He then taught one year at Jackson Center. One year at Newville Center and two years at Newville. He again en- tered the Tri-State college where the honor of president of the Cresent Literary Society was conferred upon him. He was chosen to represent the literary society at the annual contest of 1908. In 1908 he accepted the position of assistant principal in the Auburn High School, which position he still holds. He is the jolly, good natured member of our faculty. He has encouraged the boys and girls in every reasonable sport. He was even the promulgator of a popular game played at the Junior bob-party. Mr. Magginis has a ‘‘rep”’ of being a heart breaker and it is hard to find a village or town in which he hasn’ta girl. Yetinspite of his fun he ean be serious and make us look serious at the thought of our grades. 34 USIC in the A. H. S.—Musiec, one of the necessities of any well organized school, has been greatly encourag- ed in our H.S. this year. We have one of the best H. S. or- chestras in this part of the state. It is under the leadership of Mr.éSwift. Then ‘we have made much progress as was shown by the concert in which our quartet also played a prom- inent part. Occasionally we assemble in the east room to sing, with Prof. Magginis as the leader. The teacher of music and art in the Auburn schools, Miss 35 Jeffrey, was born at Kalamazoo, Michigan, and graduated from the Kalamazoo High School and Training School. She then attended the University of Michigan School of Music and grad- uating from there attended the Western Michigan State Nor- mal. Miss Jeffrey taught music and art fora year at Gales- burg, Michigan, one year at Manchester and at Cedar Springs, coming to Auburn in ’09. Miss Jeffrey has become a favorite, because of the great interest she has shown in making this school year a good one.

As in previous years, the High School has lacked a coach, and knowledge of the game was only gained by ex- perience, which often proves costly. However, this year the team was materially aided by the kind suggestions of Dr. Dorsey M. Hines. At Defiance, the first scheduled game, Auburn lost out, due, perhaps, to the effects of the Fall Festival. Then handicapped by injuries, sickness and disqualification, the team played Huntington in another losing game. 43 55 25 Auburn 6 Auburn O Warsaw 6 Edgerton O Alumni O Probably the best game of the season was-with War- saw on the home grounds. Interest was intense through- out. When the final whistle was blown, the ball was barely a foot and a half from our goal, in. our possession, but the score was 6 to 5 in the visitors’ favor. On our own grounds, Edgerton fell our first victim, Auburn walking off with the score 23 to O. The final game was between the High School and the Alumni. One whole half and most all of the last, the op- posing teams, vainly plunged at one another. At last. three minutes before the close. the High School made the first and only touch-down of the game. Thus, with colors flying, and with great joy, the season of 1909 was gloriously ended. Me Vidile Met! Center - Right Forward Left Forward 45 First lear Right Guard Left Guard FrRst TRAM—LINE-UP.

The girls chose Flossie Morrill, cap- tain. Out door practice began immediately. But owing to the unsettled weather, not much was accomplished during this practice; but later our very ef- ficient manager, Prof. Kimmel, obtained for our use the large hall over the laundry. Owing to ill health Flogsie Morrill was forced to resign and Hazel Quince was elected to fill her place. With a good hall for practice and Miss Rosamond McIntyre as a coach, the teams progressed rapidly; forthe girls have the interest and enthusiasm that always makes basket ball a success. The first game scheduled was with Columbia City, on February 11, Auburn being the visiting team. Although the Auburn girls lost 51 to 12, they were not allowed to 47 51 Auburn 12 2 Auburn 32 24 Auburn 15 5, Auburn 5 think of their defeat. but were most royally entertained by the Columbia City girls. The next game was with Churubusco at Auburn, Au- burn girls winning 52 to 5. Buton February 25, Auburn went to Ghurutusco and Icst 24 to 15. This game isa delicate subject among the Auburn girls and the less said the better. On March 4th the interest of every A. H. S. was at the highest pitch when the Columbia City girls came here to play the last game of the season. Both teams worked hard. and the score was a tie. In playing out the tie Col- umbia City made a field throw, winning 7 to 5. Several school games have been played, which show the intense interest that the girls have in basket ball, an interest which is bound to push them to the head of the ranks with another year’s experience.

The season began with a few ‘try-outs;” all the en- thusiasm being centered on foot ball, but as the foot ball season came to a close, basket ball received a lift, and in a few weeks had fine material from which to select a good team. Just before the game, scheduled with Angola, was to take place, the final team was rounded out. The season opened withaclose game at Angola. The home team was almost lost on the large “gym” floor, but succeeded in tying Angola five times, and were finally de- feated 23 to 22. This score was reedemed, however, 47 Auburn 22 Auburn 15 Auburn 29 Auburn 45 Auburn 55 Auburn 24 when Auburn won in the next game with Angola 29 to 15. The next games following were two consecutive games with Churubusco, from whom the High School walked away with a score of 45 to 29, and at home with a score of 55 to2. This was the largest margin gained by the team during the year. -The season ended with a game at Columbia City from whom Auburn lost with a score of 45 to 24, It is a notable fact that Auburn surpassed all other teams in material and with less experience has put out a good team. With the experience gained from year to year, we are looking for the High School to put out a win- ner.

As They IL@ealk ine US High School days are now days of the past What we are ignorant of, we then did not grasp, But no greater was there to be aclass, That none before nor after shall surpass. Remembering heads, we had, teachers four, And the lessons they gave us were surely a bore: And it was useless of us, to them, to implore, Those lessons we'll try to forget evermore. Kimmel, principal, was first in the line. With the ladies he showed up mighty fine. Geometry, he would, to the Seniors, grind, His grades would make cold chills run up your spine. Magginis, next, with his good looks, We all do know just like a small book. He surely talked just like a running brook, And for some tall pine he was often mistook. Miss Baxter comes next, we know her soft tread, Single men she did always dread: So never will she to the altar be led, But will be teaching the kids, she wished were long dead. Last comes Miss Hague with her dignified hate, Of the Senior Class in a noisy state. For big words, she beats Magginis, but O, Gruel Fate! That gave us a teacher so very sedate. (4 Lae Oe A POEM Once upon an evening dreary All was done with kind intent. You might have tho’t the kids would do Sat the joke committee weary But whatever you read they meant But the teachers caught it too, They passed away the time Some they roasted, some they flattered, None escaped without a rub, Upon what you soon shall find. All came out somewhat battered. All were put into the tub.

STORY -sGRArS’ Fl Ie was a hot day in August, when ‘the Man From Home”’ started with ‘‘The Young Mrs. Winthrop,’ on ‘The Honey Moon Trail,” for ‘‘A Race Across the Continent.” When they had reached ‘‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin,’ they found, “The Cowboy Girl” waiting there for ‘‘Little Johnny Jones” and ‘'The Yankee Prince;”’ after theirarrival they tock an auto ride to‘‘Dreamland,’’? while there they saw the famous ‘Red Mill, where ‘‘Madam Butterfly” had spent her ‘‘Child- hood Days.” From there they started for ‘ The House of a Thousand Candles.’ They were met at the station by ‘‘Charlie’s Aunt,” and it was ‘‘Midmight in Chinatown”? when ‘The Merry Widow” met them with the ‘‘Bishop’s Carriage,’ driven by “The Man on the Box.’ As they were crossing the railroad track, the ‘ ‘Denver Express” hit the carriage and ‘The Beauty Doctor,’ who was on the train, cared for their injuries. While they were waiting for the wreck to be cleared, ‘The Gilded Loot” ranup. and told them that “‘Ben Hur’? would soon be there with his chariot. After he had arrived and they had started, they met “The District Attorney,’ who was hunting for “‘Cheeckers,” who had kidnapped The Girl at the Helm.” They all joined in the hunt; they stopped at ‘Shore Acres” and held a ‘‘Regen- eration,’ for here they met ‘‘The Girls,’ ‘‘The Mysterious Mr. Brown” and ‘Stubborn Cinderilla.” While they were talking, ‘‘The Millionaire Detective,” rushed breathlessly upon them, informing them that ‘Alice of Old Vineennes,”’ had stolen, ‘‘Brewster’s Millions,’ and had escaped to ‘‘Kast Lynn,” with “Phe Girl From the Golden West,’ who long had tried to solve the ‘Girl Question.” They started on the hunt for them, and met ‘The Wife” of ‘‘Cap- tain Swift,’ who had ‘‘Turned Up” ‘‘Buster Brown” for teli- ing ‘‘Mr. Barnes of New York,” ‘‘Why Girls Leave Home.” They also Jearned at this time from the mischievous Bus- ter, ‘‘Why mith Left Home.’’ Because ‘‘Brown’s in Town” , had started this story of ‘‘ What Happened to Jones” in which Smith, along with some ‘‘Men and Women” had taken the ‘ “Money and Woman.”’ Resuming their journey, they saw ‘‘The Devil” watching “The Morals of Marcus’? from under ‘ The Northern Lights; they heard ‘ The Prince of India” asking for “The Right of Way” of the furious ‘‘Wildfire’? who had been driven by “Alice of Old Vineennes,’’ who had stolen ‘‘Brewster’s Millions” and put her in ‘‘ he Detective’s’”” hands, and this ended their journey. 70 SILO “MARS” T was a beautiful moonlight night as they wandered near the banks of the peaceful river. As the time of parting grew near they silently looked at the stars and sighed. At last he broke the silence by asking, ““O, Ellen, look at Mars. Does it not seem wonderful tonight? How I should like to take you there and keep you with me for- ever!” “Yes, Harry, I should like to go with you, but that is impossible as you know. How long do you think you will be gone?” “My darling, I shall not remain away from you longer than is necessary, but I must win the right to claim you for my wife until I return for you. You will remain true to me I know.” “But if I only had some assurance that you would re- main true to me. Something seems to tell me that you will not, but I can’t seem to think that of you.”’ “Dearest treasure on earth to me, do not doubt my sincerity. Nothing will keep me away from you when I have the right to seek you. Without more words they parted. Neither surmised what things would happen before they would meet again, but each hoped that the time might be short. The next evening two young men were seated in a 71 room discussing their final plans before leaving the earth. Finally at midnight, everything being in readiness, they went to the garage where their areoplane was in waiting for them. The areoplane, the Victor, needs little description, as it was similar to those we usually see. The only practical difference was the equipment for the men. There were two suits which were made so as to furnish the wearers air when they had soared high above the earth. The ascent was to be made at night so as to attract but little attention, as they did not want people to know that they were going. When it had become late enough they stepped into the Victor, which leaped upward. Up, up they soared until they had penetrated the highest clouds. On all sides the only thing visible was space. As the machine was working well the young men, Harry Lathrop and Vinton Arnold, donned their suits and sat down to smoke. The two were just opposite in their habits and ap- pearances. Harry was a person who admired every beau- tiful young lady whom he saw, while Vinton was wont to ridicule him for falling in love, as he termed it, and always maintained that he never would fall in love. They were talking of home and friends and Harry told him about Ellen. As usual Vinton derided him and was about to make his usual declaration when suddenly they spied a speck in the distance. This claimed their whole attention, and, as they were advancing rapidly. it became much larger. When within about a mile of it they saw it was an island with many large buildings. Soon faint strains of music reached their ears and they saw avast multitude of people had assembled. When the areoplane touched the ground they stepped out and were met by the king of Mars, as was afterward learned. No word was spoken, as he led them to the carriage which seemed to be waiting for them. The carriage was of dull white color and drawn by four large white birds. They stepped into the carriage and saw that itcontained two beautiful girls. Wondering very much the young men determined to make the most of the situa- tion. As no word was spoken they began watching the landscape. Things seemed natural and yet there was a difference. The carriage stopped at the door of a mansion nnd they all stepped out. Servants led Harry and Vinton to their rooms where they found rich apparel awaiting them. Afther being clad in these they were led to a large room to which the King soon came. The King, upon entering the room, greeted them in French. Although somewhat surprised they answered him and learned that he had been expecting them for almost a month and all wasin readiness for the celebrators. They were then led to a large room where a great many people had assembled. Here they were presented to the queen and the princesses who had ridden with them in the carriage. The girls were twins and could scarcely be told apart. Harry and Vinton were very favorably im- pressed with them. After the ceremonies were over they retired. The boys did not know what to expect but thought they would remain and see the end of it. The days pass- ed rapidly and they passed the time by wandering over the island. Every evening they took long walks with the girls: Their names were Louise and Carrie. As was arranged Vinton was to marry Garrie and Har- ry, Louise. A year was to elapse before the ceremony. Although Vinton had always declared that he never would fall in love with her. The time for the wedding seemed very far off, yet in reality it only lacked two months. The King admired the Victor very much and the boys determined to make anareoplane for him. When he was presented with it he was pleased and gave each of them a small chest of golden bars. He tcok daily rides in it. As the days passed Vinton grew to love Carrie and she to love him. The pre-arranged wedding suited both of them, but Harry was not at all pleased with the plan. He missed his sweetheart and longed to go backtoher. Lou- ise was as dissatisfied as he, because she loved a young prince whom her father opposed very much. She confided her thoughts to Harry and he promised to try to prevent the ceremony. The day drew nearer and nearer and there seemed to be no escape since the King was determined to have it oc- cur. Magnificient celebrations were carried cut the week preceeding the date set for the wedding. 72 Harry and Vinton thought they would try to escape from Mars the night before the wedding. The Prince, who loved Louise, was consulted and they also told the girls of their plans. The men met in the garage back of the palace. The guards being off duty because of the feast- ing, they had no fear of detection. The Prince was sent to the garage to have the Victor in readiness while Harry and Vinton went after the girls. Upon walking towards the Palace they met the King who talked a short time and then retired. They then found the girls in a wing of the palace which was little used. They made their way in safety to the garage where they met the Prince. A lever of the Victor was not working and he could not fix it. The boys worked with it for almost an hour when they began tothink their trip had to be abandoned. Just then the chimes sounded clear through the morning air. Their flight had been discovered. Glancing down the 73 street they saw people running in all directions. Soon their course led to the garage. In despair Harry gaveafi- nal wrench to the lever, which, to his joy, worked. When they were about to enter the Victor they saw it would not carry all. Who should be left behind? The question had not been decided when Louise happened to think of the King’s areoplane. With acry of joy they took it from the garage and, with Vinton and Carrie onboard left Mars. They sailed side by side, the angry shouts of the multitude dying away in the distance. After sailing for afew days they caught sight of the earth at eventide. Upon landing near Vinton’s home all excepting Harry, went in. He hurried to the home of his sweetheart. Near the river bank where they had parted, he foundher. She did not she him as he crept up behind her. With the cry of Darling” he embraced her and she knew he had came back to her to stay.

Editorial @ nat we should enter the fourth year of our High School couse, with but seventeen seniors remaining from the forty-two, who started as Freshmen, is a rather startling statement. Yet 'tis all too true. Some felt far enough advanced in Jearning and left us in the Freshman and the Sophomore year; for others the work became too heavy and they have been left behind; still others have been attracted by the many side-lights, until now, at com- mencement, there are. but sixteen of us. The last loss which the class suffered was that of Al- da Elson, who, because of ill-health, was forced to lighten the regular course. But to those whom we have lost. we wish to say, “You don’t half realize the good fun and the many benefits these four short years have brought to us.” And to the underclassmen, we say, “Stand firm to your school and to your class, it pays.” Auburn High School has every reason to be proud of her athletics. Almost every sport which comes under the head of athletics is indulged in. The most of these have been mentioned in a department, but as the “Star’’ goes to press before Captain Weaver selects his baseball nine, base ball has not been mentioned. Base ball has always been one of the sports most en- thusiastically supported by the High School, and this year the prospects for the best base ball season are bright. Perhaps, too, tennis might be mentioned. Two new courts are to be prepared and a good team to be selected to represent our school, oe Quire AMehwernseaas E, the Seniors of 1910, are grateful to the Business and Professional men of Auburn and vicinity for their interest in our publication. It would be impossible to put out an Annual of this size without their substantial en- couragement. IN SCHOOL DAYS To be successful means a lot of hard work. So it iswiththe manufacturer, the merchant, the professional man, the farmer and the laboring man. We as merchants are striving to give to the people of DeKalb County the best Store of the kind to be found in this size city in our State. Many traveling men, persons who have the opportunity to learn, say we have this accom- plished. Our advice to you as a student is not only to master your books, but to study the successful man. It will be worth much to you when your School days are past. -i- =!- 3 oss eee ae Schaab Bro. Co.

Qne may adopt Brute Force; that is the method of highwayman when he hits you on t he head and takes your wallet. Or one may seek success simply on the MERIT of his goods. That is the approved method in civilized communities. It suc- ceeds. Everybody responds to considerations of MERIT and no Chinese wallcan shut it out. For years this store has been winning on MERIT. The big stick is no part of our office furniture. People don’t have to buy our goods but they WANT to and will buy them becauseof their MERIT, and because of the certainty of aSQUARE DEAL. ae -i- -i- Ed. W.

Not the most always, in quan- tity, but the most in quality, style, wear and tear. Our first precaution in this direction always is to not buy anything in merchandise that is not de- pendable. A tempting price could not induce us to put a dollar’s worth of goods in stock that we could not unconditionally guarantee and recommend. We adhere to this store policy persistently in order to make it to your very best interests to honor us with your patronage. All merchandise bought here is unconditionally guaranteed. There are no strings to our guarantee. You, as a customer, must first be completely satisfied before we consider the sale made. Now don’t you think that a store like that is a safe place to trade? Suggest something that will make it safer for you and we will adopt your suggestion. We invite you to trade with us on above conditions. The Geo. Shepard Co.

It’s the most for the money you are looking for; that’s what the AUBURN “‘40” is—the greatest automobile value for the price. QUALITY and not quantity is what we are striving for; what cars we do build will be built right. The models include Touring Cars, close coupled baby tonneaus, Roadsters with single and double rumble seats. The bodies have a particularly snappy appearance. SOME OF THE FEATURES: Four cylinders cast separately; five-bearing crank shaft; 36-inch wheels; ‘‘T”? beam front axle; live rear axle; brakes positive and reliable with evener equalizers; Hess-Bright ball bear- ings in the transmission; semi-elliptie front, full elleptic rear springs. The two-cylinder car which lists as Model G, at $1,250.00, is continued for 1910 without the change of a bur or bolt, having proved so satisfactory everywhere, and demonstrated our claim: “The Best car of its type on the market at any price.”’ AUBURN AUTOMOBILE CO.
