The Shield 1916 Auburn, Indiana Dedication TOs BESS Bs AW toy . Our Class Principal in our Sophomore, Junior and Senior years. The graduating class of 1916, dedicates this book, as the highest honor we are able to bestow upon one so worthy. The Shield 1916 Auburn, Indiana CHARLES ECKHART Mebruary 24, 1841] September 30, 1915 No publication from Auburn High School should be sent forth without a few words coneerning Charles Kekhart, who passed away in this city, September 80, 1915. Aside from his conerete contribu- tions to the people of Auburn, he has left a heritage that, will live longer than his benevoleneces. Of pure mind, high ideals, and ster- ling honesty, his life and achievements may well serve as a goal for the younger people whom he has benefited so much. Auburn High School was honored, in that eight members, Gerald Grover, Edward Picker, Howard Bundy, Harlan Dennison, Paul Farley, Robert Brown, Harry Altenburg and Don Lochner were privileged to assist in the impressive services which marked the end of his earthly career. The name of Charles Eckhart shoquld be spoken with deep respect by the people of the city who owe to him more than they can ever repay.

His death greatly saddens the closing festivities of the Graduating Class, for he was a prince of men, studious, gentlemanly, and a manly man. ‘To his parents, 1916 extends deepest sympathy.

H. S. to plan and carry out their advaneed campaign against the forces of ignorance. We were mobilized by Mr. Keyser and our elass life began. Me. was unani- mously chosen leader with Ruth Chaney as vice president, (Wayne) Clark secretary and (Robert) Brown treasurer. ER riage rtee ne gE “SE aes hie ae es With a firm conviction that ‘‘Labor omnia nena the first en- vagement began. Some attacked the strongholds of Latin, Botany, Algebra, and English while others sought to win domauns in the realm of Agriculture and Physical Geography. In the lulls between the strenuous battles the soldiers indulged in athletics to such an extent that several became members of tne various teams. (ae September 7th, 1912, seventy-five determined, but extremely Unfortunately our army was, as yet, less one in friendship than in industry. Consequently little of a social nature was accomplished. As the months passed, relentless war claimed its victims and left but fifty of the 1916 legion to prosecute its attack. Another September brought a sadly diminished army together. Our president, after serving his fellows loyally and well, gathered us in our more lofty position—physically speaking—to continue our struggle. Kor our second year we chose (Robert) Brown leader as- sisted by (Nellie) Culbertson; (Don) Lochner was chosen to keep our illustrious record and (Irene) Swarts to collect the cash. Feel- ing the need of a commander-in-chief, Miss Wiley was chosen to the high and mighty position of class principal. Though fewer in number, the ties of common interest and com- mon aim had bound the sons and daughters of a country into closer unity. As a result two of our comrades, Albert Lumm and Harold Tlaverstock, opened their homes for parties. Interest in athletics was still high and our president became captain of the baseball team while several of our members gained places on other teams. Again the war raged; and so earnestly did Caesar explain that ‘‘All Gall is divided into three parts,’’ and, so earnestly did Miss Armstrong exhort us to heed his words, that several of our class deemed it ‘wise to adopt the less warlike occupation of farming and shaped their courses accordingly. As the days lengthened into months and they in turn into semesters, our numbers diminished more and more but the fighting spirit was only concentrated in the remaining number. Wnoen the 1918-14 campaign drew to a close there was none among us who did not cherish a desire to win in the struggle for knowledge. No less strong was this desire when the opportunity came in the fall. Only thirty were left of the seventy-five freshmen or the thirty- six sophomores. Now we were ‘‘upper-class-men’’ and came into closer contact with and therefore more directly under the influence of that august assembly known as seniors. The impetuous bursts of zealous conquest had passed away and the remnant of our army as- sumed a more sober tenor. Were we not to hold that respected po- sition to which we looked so enviously? For our junior year Lochner was made captain with Gladys Miller assistant and Van Showers to scribble. Me. took up the ad- mirable occupation of ‘‘dunnine’’ everybody for class dues. Miss Wiley again sought to keep us within the bounds of school law. The Shield 1916 Auburn, Indiana At this point in our school life we must choose whether to pur- sue the mouldering speech of Cicero and Virgil or to settle down among the less warlike and more lifelike monuments of Schiller and Goethe. Interest in athletics ran parallel to that in our courses. Brown became captain, at the same time, of the base-ball and basket ball teams. The enemies’ country yielded more abundantly and we were able to enjoy several parties. Now to the last chapter of our history as students of A. H. 8. Twenty-four of us saw with mingled joy and regret the approach of the September which would lead the train of months in our last year together; Joy because the climax of our school life was near, regret because close upon the heels of that climax came separation—the rend- ing of ties welded by time. John MelIntyre became leader in our best and highest year; Lu- cile Buchtel was made vice president and Ruth Chaney was chosen to combine the occupations of Showers and Me. in the preceding year. In two years Miss Wiley had shown her worth as class prin- cipal and was again chosen to that position. In spite of the fact that the year has been crowded with tasks tor all of us we have enjoyed several social gatherings and have held aloft the interest in athleties. But now the class must step down from the battle-field of our school life into the greater, more serious battle-field of life. HEvery- where we must encounter new people and make new acquaintances. But the field of the world and of life is one of opportunity, where valor and zeal gain unfailing rewards. So let us remember with Miss Armstrong that in reality ‘‘Labor omnia vineet’’ not only in school but in life as well. The Shield 1916 Auburn, Indiana Senior Class Prophecy ‘By John W. McIntyre’ ANY years after the graduation class of 1916 the night was at SPA ian when another class in their caps and gowns were seated upon the platform of honor. I had just arrived in Auburn after an absence of many years. Everything had changed, new people, new buildings, new everything. I felt like poor old Rip Van Winkle must pave when he awoke from his twenty year sleep. True there were a few old land marks left. The court house was still standing as was the city hall, and, too, | noticed the lamp posts which Mayor Mc- Clellan had had such a time getting installed, were also still standing. _ That evening | felt lost and ag the last resource I asked the clerk of the hotel where | mignat find some diversion. That individual in- formed me that everyone was attending the graduation exercises in the large auditorium of the high school. Naturally this did: not ap- peal to me, so | grunted and walked over to a convenient window seat. An hour passed and finally I decided te go and make the best of the situation. I started out but soon found myself lost in a hopeless tangle of streets and houses. I was sure there used to be a school building standing here; but none could be found, so | retraced my steps to the hotel, and again sought the advice of the clerk. I found the school had moved and was now standing in a more central par of the city. Without any trouble this second time I found it and walked in. I took a seat and looked around. | knew no one, and as | gazed over the large crowd of graduates, for the Auburn schools had increased considerably, | was surprised and astonished. I looked again and then my thoughts went back. A feeling of homesickness spread over me. As | gazed at the class there assembled I thought of the ngat when iny class had sat on a similar platform. I thought of the kind words spoken by the speaker. I could even now see Prot. Blossom handing out the diploma to each member. I recalled the smile of pride spread- ing over eaca mother’s face as she saw her boy or girl receiving the cherished prize. Ah! those were the happy years—but I stopped, the people were rising about me. In a moment | knew, and I too arose in response to the pastor’s request, as he blest the class there assembled. When he finished, as I turned to readjust my coat, on the back of the seat I heard a woman whisper, ‘‘I think the Rev. Wimer is just fine.’’ Immediately | was all attention, and I grabbed a pro- gram and Lo, there it was in black and white. ‘‘The Rev. Howard D. Wimer, of the First M. E. church.’’ ‘‘Impossible,’’ I thought, ‘‘not Ilod Wimer?’’ But true enougn, for he came down into the audience, and as he passed my seat I could plainly see his face. Yes, it was Hod, but a much older Hod. Thoroughly interested now I looked again at the class. Where was Prof. Blossom? No where was he visible and | locked at the seat opposite the one occupied by the speaker of the evening and was surprised to note that it was filled by a woman. Of course | thought taere was some mistake, and | consulted my program again. | was amazed to read the name of Lucile Buchtel, Superintendent of the Auburn Public Schools. A hush fell on the assemblage, the President was mtroducing the speaker of the evening, Prof. Wayne Clark, Ph. D. By this time The Shield 1916 Auburn, Indiana | was so excited that | could seareely keep my seat. To see three old class mates after tnirty years and find them all so changed. Where could I have been all these years? But hush he was speak- ing. He was taking the people back, back to the days when he went to school in Auburn. He was telling them of his class mates, of their various successes and their failures. I can’t begin to tell you all of what he said or how he said it. The people were attentive from the first. Not a sound disturbed him. The great orator in the west was speaking. As | listened I gathered faets. I learned how Chas. Thornburg had branched out until now he was the greatest evangelist living. How he had taken the reins from the hands of Billie Sunday and now with the power of his ton- gue and magnetic personality was bringing thousands of people to the sacred altar each year. Ably assisted by his wonderful chorister, Robt. J. Brown, who, by the appealing sweetness of nis voice had touched the hearts of nearly as many as his chief, they were do- ing a wonderful work. | [ learned of Lucile Shugars, now an enthusiastic Y. W. ©. A. worker. And why not? Was not her husband, Bernard Cleaver, the Superintendent of Auburn’s Y. M. C, A.? And Van Showers, the basket ball saark no more will shoot the pigskin sphere through the iron hoops, for he has grown far too corpulent for such exercise. Showers discovered an electrical mag- net in his laboratory that when applied to the earth would lift metals from their resting place. He took it out one night and turned it loose, and when he brought it home it was burdened by a picket fenee, a keg of nails, a gold watch, and a Lincoln penny. Several such pilgrimages enabled him to start a junk shop where he has prospered exceedingly. _Eugenia Berry had joined the American Red Cross Society as a nurse, and left for Kurope, where she was decorated with various honors, for her services. After the war she returned to this country and is now at the head of a great school for nurses. Lilian Kratzer is a great musician now in the service of the Rogers Music Company. Here she receives three thousand a perform- ance and has her Saturday afternoons off. Of course the Rogers Musie Company is none other than that of our old class mate, Basil Rogers. It appears that he worked for Thomas A. Edison for a long while and wnen the latter died he deeded his shop and fortunes to our worthy classmate. Don M. Lochner is now the owner of the Chicago Herald, and has extended it farther than any paper has ever gone. He has worked hard and won out against the obstacles until now he controls the oreatest newspaper in America. Of course he married Ruth Chaney, almost immediately after leaving school. Harry Altenburg had risen from a dry goods clerk to the owner- ship of the great tailoring concern on the banks of Cedar River. By this time I was drinking in every word. My mind was in- tensely active. (How these people changed so?) The orator went on. Marion Thrush was the greatest advocate of woman’s suffrage since the time of Mary Baxter. She nad toured this country and a part of Kurope in the cause. Irene Swarts had declared men were of no use whatsoever and has proven herself capable of doing without them. She now holds the position of head saleslady in Marshall Field’s big store in Chicago. The Shield 1916 Auburn, Indiana Cleota Carmer, well of course she just couldn’t stay single and had married early after high school days, and although | missed just what the speaker said I believe he said—five children. Berniece Lawhead had turned out a splendid coach in basket ball and had followed this profession for many years. Lately she has written a book upon it. and is now living easily on the inco me from it’s sale. Hazel Nugen decided to be a writer and prepared herself thor- oughly for work along that line; but alas, only one volume had fallen from her pen when the only man claimed her, and her career was forgotten. Argyl Houser had grasped the mantle from the shoulders of James Whitcomb Riley, upon that individual’s death, and now the Ivries turned out by him are of a style whien the other could never have attained. Hilda Metealf returned to the farm after school; but not to stay, and soon a ship was bearing her over the seas to Africa, where she worked with great success as a missionary among the natives. Helen Baxter was a Prima Donna, famous all over tne country. Some time after she had left high scaool she had discovered that she could sing and now her voice ean be heard in many of the grand opera seleetions. Floyd Batdorf went back to the farm, because he claimed more money could be made there than in any other way. And it must be true for they say now he owns two-thirds of DeKalb county. Mamie Noirot was a great lecturer, diplomat, and suffragist. She ran for president of tae U.S. once, but owing to a split in the party she lost out. By this time I was so interested that | had almost forgotten where I was. It was like a great masterpiece unfolded before me, to hear of these old class mates. Word by word I had followed the lecturer along, when suddenly— John McIntyre is a,—but I waited no longer. With my overcoat in one hand and my hat in the other I started up tne aisle. I passed the seat of Rev. Wimer and as he gazed up at my face my heart jumped. Would he recognize me? But he turned his head away without a smile and I hurriedly left the place. The Shield 1916 Auburn, Indiana Class Will ag NOW all men that we, the Senior Class of 1916, of the Auburn M iiivi School, realizing that our days are numbered and that no ww injore will we have voice in the affairs of A H.

Our eyes were open so wide and stuck out so far that they might have been ‘‘knocked off with a elub.’’ All ‘was new to us and we were eager to see and know everything which we had not heretofore learned. On that particular morning there were seventy-six of us, and our size was the talk of the whole high school. But even be- fore the first semester had expired some of our number had found that it wasn’t so easy to be a Freshman after all, and had ‘ dropped hy the wayside.’’ In spite of this, as several new scholars enrolled at the end of the year we had a membership of seventy-four. Fi: the jolly Juniors of the elass of ‘17 found ourselves, on Sep- During the first month we organized with Joe Zimmerman, Presi- dent; Carol Dawson, Vice-President; Paul Farley, Secretary; Ethel- wynne Weaver, Treasurer and Miss Armstrong, class principal. In social events we were more active than many of the Freshmen classes before us. We gave two elass parties, at Morgan Rhoads’ and Joe Zimmerman’s, and a bob-party. Four of the Freshmen boys on the baseball team, and both boys’ and girls’ basket ball team repre- sented the class in athletics. We came back in September ’14 with a somewhat decreased mem- bership, there being only forty-four Sophomgres out of the seventy- four Freshmen, but we always rememberéd that quantity and quality are entirely different things. At a class meeting we elected Howard Bundy President; Harlan Dennison, Vice-president; Aiice Bishop Secretary ; Carol Kratzer, Treasurer; and Mr. Wells, class Principal. In athleties we were represented by two players on the basket ball team and two on the base ball team. Our two elass parties, in October at Joe Zimmerman’s and in March at Buella Fulk’s were beth enjoyable affairs and everyone had fine times. We received quite a compliment from Dr. Barker ‘when he gave a talk to the high school. He said he wanted to congratulate the Sophomores because they knew more right then, than they ever would afterwards. Of course we had known it all the time, but it was a ereat comfort to know that we were appreciated by such a noted man. We reassembled in September 1915 with a membership of forty- one. Harly in the term'we elected Arthur Shoudel, President ; Walter Huffman, Vice-president ; Dorothy Rowland, Secretary ; Ferris Bower, Treasurer and Miss Baxter, class Principal. Although in the first two years our studies had been confined to practically two courses, this year various branches were taken up. We found there was much more work connected with the Junior year than there had been during our first two years. We have three boys and two girls on the basket ball teams. In the ‘‘College Politician,’’ the Senior-Junior play, we furnished the majority of the cast. So far this year in social affairs we have given a class party at Carol Dawson’s and a reception and lunch at the Y. M. C. A. in honor of the Albion and Auburn basket ball teams. We also put on a benefit show at the Weaver theatre. At the time this is being written we are making great preparations for the annual banquet given to the Seniors by the Juniors and we expect to make it the most suecessful one yet given. We sometimes think that Dr. Barker erred a little in his state- ment during our Sophomore year when he said that we knew more then, than we ever would afterward, because we feel that even now we know more than we did last year and we are looking forward to even greater things next year—perhaps even a new high school building. The Shield 1916 Auburn, Indiana The Shield 1916 Auburn, Indiana Sophomore History HEN the school term of 1914-15 began on September 7th, seventy-eight timid freshmen assembled in the east room of the High School building to enter upon a four-year course of work. Many of these pupils came from different schools, over the country, and therefore were not very well acquainted. Soon many friendships were formed in the class and with the upper classmen, that will not soon be forgotten. Some of the girls and boys, aiming to be on the team for the next year, practiced basket ball. The class officers were as follows: President, Hugh Bundy; Vice-President, Harold Hursh; Secretary LaVaun Cochran; Treasurey, Mary Jenner, and class Principal, Mr. MeKenney. During the year three social funetions were held, a party at the home of’ Miss Effie Noirot, an oyster supper at the Y. M. C. A., and a pienie in one of the adjacent woods. Thus after a year of hard work, yet mixed with pleasant events, we were glad to welcome vacation. At the end of a happy vacation we resumed our duties of school life, as Sophomores. The class of 1915-16 was composed of fifty-six members. Several faces were missing from our class for which we were very sorry. At the class election the following officers were chosen: President, Thain Farley; Vice-President, Anna Brandon; Secretary, LaVaun Cochran; Treasurer, Robert Bussard, and class Principal, Mr. Sutherlin. After the first few months of school had passed, our secretary resigned, so Ruth Green was elected to succeed her. A number of the girls and boys succeeded in making the high school team this year, for the next two years our class gives great promise to produce some star players. One class party was held this time at the home of Miss Anna Brandon. A good time was reported by all. The class of ‘18 promises to be one of the largest that ever eraduated from A. H. S. and it is the ambition of the class to make it the most useful to the world. The Shield 1916 Auburn, Indiana The Shield 1916 Auburn, Indiana Freshman History HE elass of £19 organized October 5, 1915 with an curollment of } fifty-six. The officers elected for the year were: Pres., Robert Altenburg; Vice-Pres., Hazel Groseop; Treasurer, Robert Den- ison; Secretary, Walter Wilson. A class party was held in December at the home of Miss Clellaa Lochner. Two freshmen girls’ basket ball teams helped to promote Athletic enthusiasm in the sehool. Although the class of ‘19 is now rather small in number, it has the spirit and entausiasm whieh will make it one of the best classes which ever graduated from the A. H. 8S.

He talked to them concerning the general principles of basket ball, firmly impressing upon their minds the qualifications necessary to become an efficient player. The date was set for the first try-out, which was to be held on the gymnasium floor of the Y. M. C. A. The candidates were num- erous, representing all classes of the high school. Tne weaker ones eradually dropped out, one by one, leaving about a dozen active play- ers. From the latter, the first team was chosen by the coach, Mr. Sutherlin. The“team organized, with Showers as captain. He skill- fully performed his duties, not only as captain but also as guard. With Williams, one of the fastest and most clever guards on the basket ball floor, at his right, excellent work was done in the negative half of the field. As a strong hub is essential in the work of a iarge wheel, so is a powerful and active center necessary to complete the work of successful ‘‘five.’’? Campbell performs this duty well. In the posi- tive half of the field we see Shoudel bumping his head against the basket. Here, with the ball in his possession he never fails. Hursh the human spring, travels through the air like a ‘‘pig-skin.’’ The ball leaves his hands and falls through the basket after a distant flieht. With two such valuable forwards, the ‘‘red and black’’ team plays a winning game. Picker and Sheeley have proven tiemselves capable of holding the positions as substitutes. Coach Sutherlin gave to the team a set of signals which equals, if not surpasses, any other in use. Tne team was sent to tie district meet at Bluffton and were defeated there by the hoiic team. Al- though the team was unsuccessful in this, it has acquired an excellent record during the games of the season. Graduation will claim eap- tain Showers but it is hoped that the vacancy will be filled wita another able guard. With another year’s experience the team will have high honors. -Much praise is due to the Messrs. Sutherlin and Parish. The former is one of the best coaches that has ever had charge of the ‘Red and Black’’ team. The latter has shown himself a capable re- feree. He has been sincere in all of his decisions while on the floor.

The Shield Auburn, Indiana The Shield 1916 Auburn, Indiana Girls’ Basket Ball HE girls’ basket ball has been more than suecessful. The team J has won every game played. Taree of the number were on the regular team last year and formed a good neucleus around which Mr. MeKenney was able to build a winning team. Due to the exeel- lent team work and especially the guarding of Mamie and Berniece, only three of the schools played were able to score from the field. This is a remarkable record and the girls deserve much eredit for the work of the entire season. In expressing our appreciation for the work done by the regular team we do not forget that their splendid playing was made possible by the girls who came out to practice against them. Several of the cirls graduate this year but very good material is ready for another winning team next year. Berniece Lawhead ‘16 captain and right guard on every ocea- sion has shown herself to be master of the situation and capable of piloting the team to victory. Mamie Noirot, one of our star players, showed her ability as left guard in all of the games. She has made a record worth while. She iS a senior. Cleota Carmer, another from the class of 716, always held the at- tention of the rooters by her skillful basket throwing. She deserves much eredit. Effie Noirot and Marguerite Weidner alternated in the position of left forward and played consiste nt ball. They are both Sophomores and valuable material for the next two years. Helen Baxter and Marion Thrush were seldom out-jumped in cen- ter. They both graduate and the playing done by them will be hard to beat. Irene Swarts ‘16 and Martha Klinger ‘17 demonstrated speed and skill in handling the ball as side centers.

During the previous years the H. 8. teams have held a prominent place in this national sport. Although the squad is handicapped by the lack of support of the students, it is preserving the high standard of the school. Our teain is composed cf some players of wide experience and through their strenuous ef- forts the standing is higa. Coach MeKenney kept the boys in the field at good solid practice and as a result they were victorious in most of the fall games. Much eredit must be given the battery, Picker and Williams, for their fine work. We are looking foreward to still better results in the spring. As yet, no spring schedule has been made. Relay Race track work. Ags yet no track work has been carried on this year i URING previous years, very little interest has been saown toward under the supervision of the H.S. Karly in November Mr. Cleaver, the physical direcior of the Y. M. ©. A. suggested to the boys of the H. S. that they choose a relay team and enter ito a five mile race to be held in this city on Thanks- eiving, November 25, 1915. Tne team was chosen and Hursh was made captain. A track was made around the court house square, a distance of practically 14 nile. The team was composed of ten boys, each to run two times around the square or 14 mile. There were four high schools repre- sented in this contest, namely: Auburn, Garrett, Waterloo and St. Joe. About 9:00 o’cloeck on the morning. of the event a large crowd had gathered on Main street to witness the race. At 9:30 tae starter’s vun was fired and four boys shot from the line, Waterioo zaking the lead. At the end of the second relay Auburn forged ahead but was soon passed by a Garrett runner. So the lead shifted between Auburn and Garrett until finally, the last relay was reacaed. Here the latter started aaead but his fate was certain. Shoudel, our last man, gained Nitle by ttle until he crossed the line, a winner. To show their ap- preciation of the vietory, the Y. M. C. A. presented the teain with a large shield on which was printed the name of each member. We are expecting great results from the track work in tae spring of 716 and this ean be accomplished through the help of the Y. M. C. A. Much eredit is due to Physical Director Cleaver for his work in organizing the out-of-doors work for the boys. The members of tae relay team are: Harold THursh, Captain.

At a late hour all went to the dining room where refreshments were served by the committee in charge. It is hoped that this will be an-annual affair. The second social event of the Seniors was a party given for the Waterloo and Auburn Basket ball teams. After the came the Seniors entertained the teams at the Y. M. C. A. A social hour was enjoyed and then all were invited to the basement where a light lunch was served. The first real class party of the Seniors was held at the home of Miss Mamie Noirot. Guessing contests and games were the main features of the evening. After delightful refreshments were served a picture was taken of the party and the guests departed ut a late hour. A Valentine class party was given by th e Seniors at the home of Miss Lucille Shugers. The house was beautifully decor- ated in cupids and hearts, for the occasion. This was in the form of a masquerade party and fun was there in a great quantity, especially as a mock ‘wedding was one of the main features. Games, contests, musie and all things that go to make up a good time were there. After a delicious two course luncheon was served, a picture was taken which appears in the annual. The Shield 1916 Auburn, Indiana Junior Society to decide upon a class party. Everyone was eager for a social gathering of the class and wanted it as soon as possible. The next Friday night Albion was to play H. S. Varsity teams in a double header, so they combined their class party with a reception given by them to the basket ball teams. aN T last the Juniors received their long looked for class meeting The game did not commence on time so consequently it was quite late when they reached the Y. M. C. A. where the reception was to be held. After a short social half hour a two course luncheon was served. In the wee small hours of Saturday morning they crep t home, voting their committee to be good ‘‘cats providers’’ and. feeling they had spent a full evening. a? ATE in October the Juniors spent what they claimed to be a very Gb. enjoyable time at the country home of Carol Dawson. A hayrack ealled for them in town but most of them preferred to walk as it was a very pleasant night and the roads were fine. It ‘was agreed that no entertainment should be planned before-hand. The Juniors showed their ingenuity in entertaining themselves in a very admir- able manner, for at no time did they lag for want of a game. Some very ‘‘nifty’’ jokes were ‘‘pulled off’’ on a couple of the number but it was all taken in good nature. Light refreshments, consisting of popcorn, fudge and cider were served. Perhaps it wouldn’t be well to ask three or four of the boys, which they consumed the most of. After posing for their pictures, a necessary feature of a H. 8. class party, they struck the trail for Auburn. Sophomore Society N account of various incidents, the Sophomores delayed their class party until February, when it was held at the home of Anna Brandon. No special hour being set for the evening, the guests arrived at any time from 7:30 to 9:00 o’clock. Quite a few of the class were present, ‘with several of the teachers, to enjoy the unique entertainment provided in the ‘‘field meet.’’ Sides were chosen for Indiana, Michigan, and Iowa. Each state sent its contestants for the different events. Many of the events caused much amusement, such as the hobble race, the aeroplane race, (only a feather doing the flying), the bowling contest, and the shot put. In these events, we are sorry to say that many were disqualified, go-- ing beyond the rules in their eagerness to win. The highest honors were awarded to Iowa, and to this state was given the loving cup. (Anyone wishing to see this cup will find the pattern in any old tin can.) Refreshments were served, and toward the close of the evening the picture of the party was taken. Finally, a late hour, the guests took their departure, after enjoying an evening full of fun.

After this the musie of the Victrola was enjoyed by everyone, o) HE first class party of the freshman class was held at the home This pleasant group was broken up by Mr. Parish suggesting that we had better be getting home or we would not be ready for the Algebra test which Mr. Sutherlin was going to give us the next day. + 5 ; Everyone said they had enjoyed themselves and that tnis would not be the last class party of the year.

The story of the play followed the campaign of Ted Kingsley, (Harry Altenburg) in search for the office of manager of the Wisanois football team, in order that his position might help him win the hand of a girl he thought was Alice Bailey, (Ruth Chaney) but who really was Rachel Templeton, the college widow, (Cleota Carmer.) Complications with Alice’s brother Frank, (Kenneth Schaab) hin- dered him somewhat, but he finally gained the good graces of his ideal as the curtain slowly dropped, on the most successful play, from both dramatic and monetary standpoints ever given. Lucile Buchtel, ’16, and Charles Thornburg, ’16, furnished special music in the form of piano and violin solos.

The Shield 1916 Auburn, Indiana The A. H. S. Literary Societies 4i AST fall Professor Blossom suggested that three literary so- cieties be organized by the members of the Auburn High. The purpose of these societies was to enlarge our scope of literary ac- tivity and to inculeate in us an admiration of the highest, noblest, and purest form, in our native tongue, as disseminated by book, poem, and song. The members of the Senior and Junior classes organized ‘‘The Webster Literary Society.’’ Several fine programs consisting of book reports, essays, readings, music, and debates were given. These programs proved not only to be exceedingly interesting but also to be educational. For the first semester, the following officers were selected: President, Wayne Clark; Vice-President, Marion Thrush; Secretary, Alice Bishop. For the second semester. President, Ed- ward Picker; Vice-president, Lucile Fanning ; Secretary Helen Baxter. The Sophomores call themselves ‘‘The Ambitious Literarians.’’ On one afternoon of every month, a special program was given by them. These programs were good, and were not only beneficial to those who gave them but also to the listeners. Their officers for the fivst semester were: President, Hugh Bundy, Vice-president, Ber- nard Brown; Secretary, Anna Brandon. For the second semester: Howard Williams, President; Harold Hursh, Vice-president; Mar- cuerite Weidner, Secretary. . ) ‘“‘The Adelphia Literary Society’’ was organized by the Fresh- men of A. H. S. On the last Friday of every month programs were rendered by its members. Judging from the remarks of the hearers, the Freshmen have much literary talent, and every program was in- teresting. Throughout the first semester, the following officers served : George Borst, President; John Myers, Vice-president ; Carmen Grosh, Secretary. During the second semester: Walter Wilson, President ; Charles Beugnot, Vice-president; Jessie Moffett, Secretary. The Shield 1916 Auburn, Indiana Commencement Week JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET K. of P.

Post Script “THE COLLEGE POLITICIAN”’’ (Continued) In regard to the ‘‘College Politician,’’ negleet was made to give credit to Miss Wiley, charge d’ affairs, of the rehearsals, Messrs. Par- ish and Sutherlin, and other members of the faculty who spent many weary hours to instill in a very amateurish assembly of would-be thes- ians, the first principles of successful work. To these all, we give oreat thanks. SENIOR SOCIETY Since the first pages of the Shield were printed, a weiner roast was held at the home of Hilda Metealf, at which the members of the Class, and Miss Wiley, enjoyed one of the jolliest social sessions of the year. A search for an old lady who was supposed to have stolen some apples, resulted in her discovery in an old stump, and the proceeds of the ‘‘theft’’ were devoured by the ‘‘eaptors.’’ The trip to and from the Metealf farm was made in automobiles, and regardless of a slight drizzle, the entire party serenaded Profes- sors Blossom and MeKenney, with yells and laughter, and at the latter place, left all the surplus apples and marshmallows.
