When there is anything going on Bas- sett generally has a hand in it, from financing the Annual to placing thumb tacks. He has done commendable work leading his class the last two years.

Skinny will be missed on the basket- ball team, as well as in the operettas. If you haven ' t heard him laugh, you ' ve missed something.

EDITH ASHLEMAN She has not a single redeeming defect. H S 1-2-3-4. Class Treasure r 1. Basketball 2-3. Glee Club 4. Operetta 4. Society Chairman Follies 4. Full of fun and in for everything.

Yell Leader 1-2-3-4. Geng has afforded us a g-ood mat laughs during- High School. May the fi lowing classes soon find someone to tal his place.

Class Secretary 1. Class President 2. Glee Club 2-3-4. Operetta 2-3. A. H. S. Plav 4. Follies Staff 4. Don ' t know her nickname, but expect it ' s Kate.

He is a firm be- liever in country air. CHARLOTTE THOMAS The glass of fashion, the mold of form. ' A. H. S, 1-2-3-4. Follies Staff 4. Perhaps you are like the rest of us— never to see Charlotte idle. She has :i tendency to studv out loud, but that ' s all right, isn ' t it? (15) HILDA HILKEY A jolly word and laugh to all. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Follies Staff 4.

He has given the orchestra a boost as well as his class. GERTRUDE PHELPS For she is wise if I can judge her. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Gertie never fails to give you a laugh if you want it. She is always ready to cheer you up. Her cheer seems to stretch almost five miles to the south. GLENWOOD LINK s proper a man as one shall see on a summer ' s day. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Orchestra 1-2-3-4. Linkie hails from the Junction, and es to play his fiddle much better than talk. l,;i RALPH BISHOP He that so generally is at all times good. A. H.

BELLE CARNAHAN ' Speech is great, but silence is greater A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Belle has been rather quiet these four short years, yet many are won by shyness. MORTON DOVE The world knows nothing of its greatest men. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. ' Baseball 2-3-4. Basketball 3-4. Football 4. Art Staff Follies 4. Mort is our pep man in whatever he undertakes — speeches, basketball, foot- ball or anyhting. He ' s all right, even if he is a southpaw. IRVIN STROH My mind my kingdom is. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Basketball 3. Fol- lies Staff 4. Irvin is right there with the goods when it comes to things you want to know about studies. He hasn ' t been bothered much with girls, but makes a fine assistant to Prof. Mclntyre. ' Tis said the girls generally took their ex- periments to him to be checked. ANNA TEETERS And fair is she, if mine eyes be true. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Orchestra 3-4. Glee Club 4. Follies Staff 4. Anna is another typist. She is in for anything with the rest. She plays the cello in the orchestra, and her low, deep tones will be missed next year. (I mean the cello tones.) (17) FLORIDE JENNER A girl who has so many pleasing: ways. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. It is just in the last two years that Floride has let us get acquainted with her. But in that two years she has proven that she is a great friend and pal. PAUL PARKER I am not in the race of common men. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. ' [Parker is from Missouri. He can generally be depended on to pull half the rope in an argument. We are always glad to hear his opinions, any- way. GUY JENNER With mirth and laughter, let old wrinkles come. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Operetta 2. Base- ball 3. Basketball 4. Dingy has his share of good times, and turns out 100% for class activities. Altho he wouldn ' t make a very good B. B. center, he can do better dancing. JOHN CREASY Oh that I might live to become a man! A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Johnnie doesn ' t make muc h noise, but he ' s always there with the goods — and his gum. GENEVA APT Her hair was thick with many a curl that clustered ' round her head. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Operetta 2-4. Glee Club 4. Geneva is a rival to none in type- writing class. She clicks along at such a rate that none can catch up with her. She is always ready to help you, and always greets you with a smile. Ms, W1LLIARD LOMBARD Wine, women and song — Bah! A. H. S. 4. Football 4. Track 4. Baseball 4. Willie hasn ' t been here very long 1 , but long enough for us to discover that he is a good athlete, and girls don ' t bother him. JOSEPHINE FAYLOR There ' s a vein of mirth beneath my air of dignity. A. H. S 1-2-3-4. President Vocational Club 3. Follies Staff 4. Josephine is rather quiet and unas- suming. She thinks before she speaks, and the result is an A-l student. HOWARD MUSSER Had sigrhed to many, tho he loved but one. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Orchestra 1. Howard is rather a bashful boy, even tho he does like to cut up in Civics class. He is rapidly becoming efficient in the art of slinging hash. JACOB SALTSMAN Speak less than thou knowest. A. H. S. 1 2-3-4. Orchestra 1-2-3-4. You couldn ' t find Jake if you ' d listen for him. because he ain ' t that kind of a cat. Country walks are healthy. Just look at his rosy cheeks. JESSIE WALKER Modest simplicity is a virtue in women. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Jessie walks along slow and easy. She always seems to be busy, and doesn ' t make much of a fuss about it, either. (1H) ORRELL HESS ' The best things are done up in small packages. A. H. S. 1-2-3-1. Follies Staff 4. Orrell is one of the silent partners of the class of ' 23. He always does his share without any noise. We ' re waiting to see the apple of his eye. MARTHA FALKA Full many a flower is born to blush unseen. A. H. 8. 1-2-3-4. Martha appears yery quiet and shy. But she isn ' t. No. indeed. Altho she does study, she always has a good time. DONNER WEST Judge me by what I am. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Swimming 2-3. Vice President History Club 3. Basket- ball 4. Dormer is our funny man and can make anyone laugh. He recently wrote the song, We Used to Go to Hebel ' s, but It ' s Baker ' s Where We Trade. ELSIE GRUBB She talks of rank and fashion. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Orchestra 2. Bas- ketball 2-3. Literary Coutest 3. Follies Staff 4. Elsie is our speaker; also our typist. It seems that she makes good in all she sets out to accomplish. She also made a record for herself in basketball. VON COOK A merry heart doeth like good med- icine. A. H. S. 4. Track 4. Cookie knows more about running picture machines than about Senior Eng- lish. He was a faithful Toreadorian to the end. We would like to have had his company the entire four yars. (20) FRANK GROGG Nature has formed strange fellows in her time. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Track 2-3-4. Base- ball 2-3-4. Frank has won his fame pounding the cinders. He doesn ' t say it with music — he says it with running. A. H. S. will miss him next year. OSCAR NOEL Ye ' ll find him just an honest man. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Football 4. Oscar will leave a wide gap in the football lineup next year. He hasn ' t come into his own until this year. LOTT SCOFIELD As to the ladies, I have nought to say. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Lott has come to glory through over the typewriter. While a little back ward at present, methinks disappear. or will soon LE MOYNE JOHNSON Silence that spoke, and eloquence of eyes. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Class Treasurer 3. President Commercial Club 4. LeMoyne came from Coldwater, and has stayed with us all four years. You ' ll have to ask the long boy concerning her taste for dates. RALPH HEFFLEY There are many rare abilities in the world that fortune is slow to bring to light. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. We ' re expecting some day to visit Ralph ' s farm, and to see a real one. He is learning how to raise cows and chick- ens, all right. (21) WALTER McBRIDE A modest boy seldom grows fat. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Class Treasurer 3. Chatterbox Staff 3. Art Editor Follies 4. Mac can certainly draw. Just look through the annual. It if hadn ' t been for his faithfulness we would have been out of luck as far as cartoons are concerned. LAVORNIA SQUIRES A sweet and quiet grace. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Altho Lavornia goes to Auburn High, her thoughts do not seem to be centered here. At present Garrett is the attrac- tion. Too bad! VINCENT CREMEAN I am resolved to flirt no more; It leads to strife and tribulation. Xot that I used to flirt before. But as a bar against temptation. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. We don ' t hear much about Vlnce. Perhaps that is a good sign, for it means he isn ' t getting into trouble. Let us hope so. FRANKLIN BARTELS I dare do all that may become a man. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Baseball 2-3-4. Basketball 3-4. Track 3-4. Vice Pres- dent A. A. 4. Follies Staff 4. Another of the silent workers of the class of ' 23. But that doesn ' t mean he ' s dead. Always studying faithfuly. he has helped raise our academic standing. CLARA HABIG Majestic in her person, tall and straight. A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. Follies Staff 4. What bothers Clara is her diary. But all sentimentality aside, she is a dandy good sport. (22) Senior Class History In September , 1919, a confused, half frightened bunch of youngsters, ninety in all, started their high school career in the old high school building. Day by day we became more and more at ease in our new home. The first class meeting was held, and Mr. McKenney pointed out our many duties to us. Our first president was Kinley Tracy; vice president, DeLoss Frank; secretary, Katharine Lollar, and treas- urer, Edith Ashleman. Miss Frances Farley was our class principal. The upper classmen made us feel welcome by giving us a Freshman reception at the Y. M. C. A. Then, feeling that we had been duly recognized, we made our debut in society by having a wiener roast in a woods south of Auburn. Some rode and some walked , but they all declared they had a good time. Our first party was given at Kathryn Brown ' s, and as Freshmen are always more or less timid, we counted ourselves an exception by playing spin the pan, and totally ruining the pan. A delightful party was given at the home of Jennie Hevel, and a calico party was given at the home of Dewey Graham. When we heard the Juniors and Seniors plan- ning for their banquet and picnic, we so envied them that we planned a class picnic all of our own. We went to Hamilton Lake, and had a lovely time. In September, 1920, no longer Freshmen, we hastened schoolward as soon as we heard the first bell, for we were to go in our big, new Mcintosh high school building. We almost lost our way about the building, but with the dignity of now being upper classmen, we managed beautifully. We chose our class officers for the second year as follows: Katharine Lollar, president; Esther Whitten, vice president; Lowell Bourns, secretary; Arno Garns, treasurer, and Miss Mary Mutschler, class principal. Then we planned to help entertain the Freshmen, and we did so in a Freshman re- ception at the Y. M. C. A. Of course, they didn ' t know how to act, but we helped them along and made them feel at home. One of the most successful parties ever given by the class of ' 23 was a party for the Freshmen and Sophomores in the A. H. S. gym. We also had a wedding supper and a mock wedding, which proved to be very satis- factory. The happy couple was beautifully attired and attended by a very unusual wedding party. Again we had a class picnic at Hamilton Lake, and had a lovely time. September, 1921 — Soho! Stand aside! Here come the Juniors of ' 23. To be sure, we never felt more dignified in all our lives than when we entered the assembly room and were given — or rather took possession of — the Junior section of seats. We were led through a very successful year by Leo Bassett, president; Esther Whitten, vice president; Walter McBride, secretary, and LeMoyne Johnson, treasurer, and Mr. Vass, class principal, who guided us over the rocky, but very enjoyable. Junior mountain. We gave a Junior carnival in the A. H. S. gym at Hallowe ' en, and even though we did not have many spectators and benefactors, we enjoyed ourselves very much in every way but the financial standpoint. However, we realized that we must find other ways in which to earn money to give the Seniors the best banquet ever given by a class of A. H. S. The rain rather changed our plans for a banquet, but we counted it a great success. The Seniors entertained the Juniors at a picnic at Whiting ' s Hotel at Crooked Lake. This ended our Junior year very successfully. September, 1922, we entered A. H. S., a more dignified, yet eager, crew. Knowing that we would need competent leaders, we chose Leo Bassett, president; Philip Harding, vice president; Edward Baker, treasurer, and LeMoyne Johnson, secretary. Miss Amnion was chosen class principal. We helped to support a strong cast for Come Out of the Kitchen, and are planning to have one or two successful parties before we close our school life in A. H. S. We are going to help to give one of the best and biggest banquets ever given in A. H. S., and we hope that all other classes of A. H. S will graduate with the same good will and love for their school. Senior Prophecy It was in 1939, And that train was traveling fast. We arrived at New York station. To find our cdass at last. Mr. West, our jolly jest. Was a man of the screen, I believe; For ten long years he had practiced it, Our hearts not to deceive. Mr. and Mrs. Parker (formerly Geneva Apt) Sunshine had on them lent. For many a frolicking night Had on the stage they spent. Ashleman. Brown and Whitten Are silent as can be. Just ask Baker, Gams and Watson. Respectively. Tracy is a lawyer; He sets a rapid pace. He meets them all, both large and small. He can handle any case. Lollar is an actor. And proud of that fact is she. She looks the whole world in the face; Her eyes are full of glee. John Creasy is a jeweler, A millionaire. I guess. Paul Bateman is a farmer. And so is Orrell Hess. Harding is an orator; A forceful speaker is he. He speaks to all the women That in their eyes have glee. Phelps went wandering through this world. But at last married McBride, And today this happy couple Are living side by side. G. Jenner and Johnson are agents For the Auburn rubber tire. Falka and Gengnagle are acrobats; I suppose you think 1 am a liar Habig is a Democrat. For o ' er her name has spread. Brunkhart is a republican, Ami well her party has led. Bourns, he is a preacher; A man of stamped success. We are proud he was a scholar. A graduate of the A. H. S. Heft ' ley is a gentleman, A man stern in his views; He never smokes tobacco. And I ' ll swear he never chews. (24) Senior Prophecy linker, F. Jenner and Kettering (not a Senior) Were housewives long ago, Rut as to mention their husbands. We are sure we do not know. Bassett is an architect, And so is Josephine Faylor. Cook is a theatre man, And Hale Thomas is a jailer. Cartels was made a florist. And Squires was a banker made; Cartels works in the sunshine, But Squires works in the shade. Link and Carnahan were musicians. And were struggling through this life. But Link, with a sudden change of mind. Chose Carnahan for his wife. Beugnot, C. Thomas and Teeters Are teachers in the A. H. S. We hope these pals continue. With many a great success. Grubb and Scofield are our typists; Their fingers were made for speed. They must travel this great life through and through, And from this example take great heed. Franks is a great farmer, A farmer very true; He farms the farm of knowledge. The farm for me and you. Musser and Cremean are boxers — Are boxers without a doubt. Musser swung at Cremean, But Cremean knocked him out. Noel and Saltsman are hunters — Hunters of great wild game. They set out for that north woods, For themselves to make a name. Grogg. Graham and Lombard Ara coaches, so we ' ve heard. But we wonder where our Dove is. Our cooing little bird. Stroh was long a chemist, But a chemist he is no more. For what he thought was H 2 O Was H 2 SO 4 Senior Will We the graduating class of 1923 of Auburn High School. Auburn.

We started, so they say, with a goodly portion of the world ' s brain power in our class, as scientifically constructed and otherwise unfit for us Freshmen. Our first year was a complete shock to the upper classes, due to our unlimited supply of knowledge. There was nothing we undertook which did not prove a total success or a complete failure. James Little as president led the parade, as that was the substance of our first year of existence — merely a parade for the upper classmen to gaze upon as we passed by. Our social activities were confined to a party at the home of Marshall Link, and the final class picnic at Hamilton Lake. We adopted the name of Sophomores upon returning to A. H. S. the next year, mainly because we had no other choice. Either our intelligence had decreased a great amount or we held in reserve a greater portion. We were living a much more intelligent life. We elected, after a swift campaign. Waldo Long, president: Marshall Link, vice president; N. Hensel, secretary, and E. Harris, treasurer, and the ballot box was not stuffed. Stepping into the social whirl, at the first we easily took the lead by means of numerous parties, which, if not entertaining, were highly amusing. It is needless to say that we enjoyed the Roman games given by Gaius Julius Caesar — we did. It is said that hot air causes a balloon to rise. Taking into consideration our social standing — well — judge for yourself. Our dear instructors state that we have passed the stage of asking such questions as What makes the grass green ' . ' and Why do birds fly? This alone is proof enough of our accomplishments of our second year. We are now Juniors of the far famed class of ' 2!. All men are created equal, excluding a few minor details of money, health and knowledge. We find that our class has decreased from eighty to fifty-five. Yes. all men are created equal. The election returns give Walter Koscht the presidency; Ward Swarts, the vice presidency; Katherine Dawson, the secretaryship, and Marshall Link, the treasurer- ship. Mr. T. D. Vass was elected as class principal. Times have changed. We were looked down on; now we look down on others. The class is now run on purely business lines, as it is the duty of the Junior class to secure money for the Junior-Senior banquet at the end of the school year. For these reasons the number of social events have been decreased to two. These parties were held at the homes of Pearl Rigg and Afton Reed. We look forward to a bigger, brighter and better class in 1924. b v Q gtfMOfc tf (37) Sophomore Class Roll Bottom Row, left to right — Florence Hanson.

(39) Sophomore History On September 5, 1921, the upper classmen were awaiting the arrival of the green, awkward and inexperienced Freshmen. We didn ' t want to keep them waiting long, so we appeared in a body of one hundred and nine early on the appointed day. In my own private opinion. I think they were somewhat taken aback when they saw what a really good looking bunch we were. Of course, we did feel kinda shaky in the knees for fear we ' d do something wrong, but we all kept brave faces, and we wouldn ' t have given those dignified upper classmen a chance to laugh if it hadn ' t been for those terrible assembly seats. Our minds for the first few weeks were taken up with the activities of our class. We selected Miss Humphrey as our principal; Dale Walter, president; Myrth Pomeroy, vice president; Betsy Reesch, secretary, and Russel Bills, treasurer. We were very prcud of our class, and we surely had a right to be, for we had several distinguished people in athletics and well as academic work. We were given a rousing reception by the upper classmen. Of course, they decked us all out in green, although the color wasn ' t at all becoming. Besides the reception, we had three parties in the gym, and a bob ride to Garrett, which the class thoroughly enjoyed. To end the year right, we went to Hamilton and had a glorious time, especially when it came to the eats. By the end of the year we had become so well acquainted with the teachers that we were afraid they would refuse to bother with us another year, but since they are all so kind and generous, they invited us all back for the next year. So, on September 4, 1922. we assembled once again, but to our disappointment, thirteen of our classmates had been lost. We again chose new leaders. This time Miss Thrush was principal; Edward Bourns, president; Glen Yoquelet, secretary, and Marie Williams, treasurer. W T e have had so many hard battles with Caesar and other such characters that we have only had time for one party, but it was such a success that it made up for all others except the reception, where we had planned to get revenge on the Kreshies of ' 22, but we hope we may do so before we have finished school. We knew that we would have some hard work this year, so we all set out to win, and we have succeeded, even though we have driven our dear teachers to distraction. — Betsy Reesch.

(43) Freshman History It was a brilliant and a peppy bunch of Freshmen which entered the new Mcintosh High School on September 4. 1922. Out of our number the following were chosen as class officers: Robert Little, president; Kathryn Groscop, vice president; Nelline Faylor, secretary; Frieda Knott, treasurer; Miss West, class principal. We endured the snubs and criticism of our higher schoolmates, and took our initiation in a peaceful way. At the beginning of the term our class color was green. The girls wore green ribbons on their shoulders, and the boys wore large green sashes, but we wore them only until we were introduced into the High School, so that everyone would know we were Freshies. Later our class color was changed from that loathsome green to silver and rose. Our first attempt in social affairs was a Chatterbox party given by the staff, in which all four classes were represented. Everyone declared that he had a good time. Our second party was held in October in the High School gymnasium. This was a Hallowe ' en party, ahem! We were all frequently reminded that The gobble-uns ' ll get you ef you don ' t watch out. As is usual on such occasions, practically all tried to look like someone else by masked designs, but because of their usual noises, or the size of shoes, or some other familiar characteristic which was not disguised, most of them were revealed. Our class has shown up well in athletics, two of the girls playing on the basketball team. The first team — think of it! We were also well represented in the preliminary contests in reading and music. Wesley Shepherd took first place in the piano solo contest. We ' re nearing the first mile stone. With the exception of three or four, the original enrollment is still in the class. -Combined histories of Frieda Knott and Jessie Dunten. ttn-ttR-KfrnE e.Rnmos R.ud v!ph I l.-l Lont ot cown ■VlOHtl A T H L 1922 e 1923 i c s Rb.NO RRNS (471 VETERANS ARNO GARNS, SKINNY A Reliable Guard.

By this means it was possible to play the schedule and rest every man when physical conditions demanded it. Few injuries were received by Auburn or by her opponents, which shows a high standard of sportsmanship. Bourns, our star forward, received a dislocated shoulder during a practice prior to the district tournament. This was the greatest blow, in the way of injurie. the team suffered. A. H. S. had the same experience this year thai has been characteristic of all her history, when she lost in the tournaments. Auburn lost her first game of the district tourney to Angola. The dope an was upset in game after game, due to different styles of play and the condition of the men. The following men received Bartels, Franklin Baker and Gartl weaters: Silberg. (Hi ' Jenners Afton Reed, Franklin A trophy, which had been carried by the team in all the games, was awarded at the end of the season to the man who made the most free throws out of fifty trials.

Auburn bowed her head to such teams as: Fort Wayne, S. S., one game: Decatur, one game: Angola, one game, and Kendallville, two games. In the games of the season Auburn made a total number of 31S points, while her opponents made 280. Auburn made 115 field goals, to her opponents ' 99. Au- burn ' s free throws totaled 99, and her opponents totaled S2. Auburn committed 137 personal fouls to compare with her opponents ' 152. This marks the record of the 1922-23 basketball squad. The team wishes success to its successors and gives them its motto: Fight, Team; Fight Clean! For A. H. S. I WILL! Coach Leitzman S. H. Leitzman came to Auburn High School recommended by such men as Dr. Jonathan Rigdon of Central Normal College and Admiral Bassett of the Tenth Naval district. He had been previously engaged as coach and physical director of the Great Lakes Hospital School and Central Normal College. In his characteristic business-like manner he took charge of our existing field of athletics. In a short time that field had undergone a complete revolution, and emerged in a well organized and greatly improved system. When Coach Leitzman arrived, our athletic activities consisted only of basketball, with some workouts in baseball. The first addition which was made was a track team. In one year ' s time he placed a team in the district meet, and in two years he had a team which was second in the district by one and one-third points. Then for the first time in her history. Auburn was represented in a state contest, when she sent three men to this meet. His next step was to revive baseball, and later he organized football. In the past year he has started county meets for basketball and track. Our advancement in the field of basketball has been steadily rising under Coach Leitzman ' s supervision. The past year closed with a score of twelve games won out of the seventeen played — a record not paralleled for some time. In connection with the basketball, a foul pitching contest was begun this year. The person making the highest number of points out of fifty trials was awarded a trophy which has been in all the games of the season. Realizing that in the inter-school meets only a small number of our boys could take part. Coach Leitzman conducted, in both Junior and Senior High, gym exhibits and inter-class contests in a wide variety of sports. A very enthusiastic interest was stimulated in these interclass meets. Pennants were awarded as trophies to the winners in basketball, football, indoor baseball, outdoor baseball, volley ball, track, and the tug of war. As a result, a very large majority of our boys are participating in some form of competitive athletics. Coach Leitzman has founded Sigma Delta, an honorary athletic fraternity, which requires high records in all phases of athletics for its membership. This is a stimu- lant for a widening of athletic interests. When we sum up our athletics we find ten decided steps of advancement within the short period of three years. All of these items have become permanently fixed in our program of annual events. Mr. Leitzman has clearly shown his superior ability to organize and execute all phases of athletics. But aside from this — and of even greater importance — is the splendid confidence and moral influence which he exerts in all of the schools, from the Primary to the High School Seniors. To merely think of accomplishing good deeds is good, but it is an idle thought unless it is made a reality. Mr. Leitzman ' s plan for putting Auburn High School foremost in athletics in its highest sense has not been merely an idle thought. He has looked the future squarely in the face and exclaimed, For A. H. S. I WILL! — F. F. COACH EAGLES, JANE Jane has come into fame through the girl ' s team she produced this year. It didn ' t reach its stride until the last semester, but next year it will he a winner. Jane knows her stuff. MARIE WILLIAMS, SWEDE Captain and long end of the guard- ing team, having done the altitude work. Changed this year from center to guard, and Swede has found her place on the varsity.

GENEVIEVE BERG, JENNIE This is Geneieve ' s first year on the ::qia.l, and with one ahead of her, she w ill show you again how to make ' em swish. BETSY REESCH, BETTY For two years Betty has filled the gaps at forward and center, and she has two more years ahead. (54) LARKA POOTE, FOOT She played every game of the sea- son, and out-jumped the tallest of them at center. She got ' em and knew where to send ' em. BEULAH LOWER, LOWER Though small, Beulah is right there when it is speed that counts, and has scored many points for Auburn. ANNA BAKER. ANNE This is Anne ' s second year in the forward position, and she can be de- pended on to make more than her share of Auburn ' s points. NAOMI KRAFT, DODE In her first year Dode has become the speed end of the defence. She had the consistent fight that kept down our opponents ' scores. (55) Girls ' Basketball Girls ' athletics has been one of the leading factors of the A. H. S. this year. The chart of the basketball games, which hung in front of the assembly, room, started with the record going down. How long did it point in that direction? It made one grand shot to go upward, and continued going that way. Starting the New Year with a determination to win, the girls won every game played after January first. The girls are proud to say that they never lost a game on their own floor. Kraft, ' 26. and Williams, ' 25, played as guards, and kept the opponents right on the jump. Although somewhat different in size, both had one good quality when it came to playing basketball. Krafts speed and Williams ' height and long arms kept the ball from the opponents ' hands. Lower, ' 24. and Baker, ' 21, put the balls in the basket. They kept the game going fast, and baffled the guards by running them until they were all out of breath. Foote, ' 25. and Baker, ' 26, playing as centers, kept the crowd amazed by their wonderful speed. They were always ready to out-jump their opponent. A great deal of credit belongs to the following: Diehl. ' 24, Berg, ' 24, and Reesch, ' 25. They were always there to give their assistance. The whole team was composed of lower classmen, and we are looking forward to a team that will be impossible to beat.

Brown, the president of the school, then picked the lineup. Beef, and those boys had all that was necessary to qualify. Brown left Auburn and Magginis took charge of the team with some more fast and heavy men: Weaver. Lawhead, Williams. DeLapp. Husselman. There was nothing slow in this team, as was shown in their record. In ' 12 football was eliminated from the athletic schedule of the school, owing to a law passed by the state legislature that all players had to take a physical exam- ination. Ten years passed before they decided in favor of again starting the activity that took weight. It was not a miserable failure in ' 22, or a great success, owing to the fact that we had a light team with little practice. Mr. Leitzman, the coach, had fair success in capturing the first game, but the other two were lost. Looking into the future, we think, by arousing the interest of the old scouts and protectors of the crimson and black, we hope to see a team on the field that will again sweep the state off its feet as in 1909 and 1910.

It was not long until swarms of high school boys were seen warming up their right arms. Many suffered from strained muscles, due to overwork, but when Mr. Leitzman distributed the uniforms no signs of suffering were shown. Since many in the previous lineup had graduated, many changes were made. Dove was given the position as catch; Grogg, pitcher; Long, short; Garns, first base; Bartels, second; Bauer, third; Koscht, right field; Browand, center; Smith, left field; Likens, Jenner and Reed, outfielders. With such a good lineup we started in to train, and practiced every night after school, except when the rain prevented. During the short season we played two games, both of them with Garrett. The shortness of the season was due to the rainy weather, as games could not be scheduled satisfactorily in such unstable weather. SCORE RESULTS Home Team Visiting Team Auburn S Garrett 16 Auburn 2 Garrett 2 Track The year 1922 was a very successful year in track and field events for the Auburn High School. We had a very good team of fifteen men, who did their best in what- ever event they were placed. We had four meets before the district meet. Columbia Citv was the first meet, held at Columbia City. Our boys did their best and worked hard, but lost the meet by two points, the score being Columbia City. 22; Auburn, 20. Our second meet was with Kendallville. Our team put up a good fight, but lost out after doing the best they could, the score being Kendallville, 21; Auburn, 19 points. They had eliminated the 120 high hurdles, and also the 220 low hurdles, which of course made it harder for us to win, as we had two good hurdlers. The next meet was held at Auburn, a county track and field meet between all the towns in DeKalb county, Auburn taking first with a big score. Auburn came into possession of the relay pennant also, with a good lead on the other schools. We had a triangle meet with Angola, Garrett and Auburn. The track meet was a little one-sided for Auburn, with 39% points. Garrett second with 33V 2 points while Angola brought up the rear with 17 points. Auburn also took the relay pennant very easily from the other two schools. After working hard in the meets we were in. and doing fine, we went to the district meet held in Fort Wayne on May 12. Columbia City taking the meet with 19V 2 points, Auburn second with IS points. The relay was won by Fort Wayne, and Auburn a very close second. The first time in the history of Auburn High School that in a track meet any one of the team were eligible to go to a state track meet was this year. Grogg, ' 23 went to run the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Browand, ' 22. went to run the 440 yard dash. Graham. ' 23, went to run the 220 yard low hurdles. They did not show up as well at the state meet, but we are expecting them to go again this year and put Auburn on the map in track work. We are also looking forward to see the best team in the state this year, as we only lost four men from our team from last year. We also expect to have more men place at the district this year than we had last year. Our team goes to Angola for their district track and field meet this year. Our team is going to the state, and show the other schools that Auburn can run as well as any other school in the state.

Olivia ' s blac k mammy Sylvia Brunkhart Time: The Present ACT I The drawing room of the Daingerfield mansion ACT II The kitchen, two days later ACT III The dining room, the same day SYNOPSIS The story of Come Out of the Kitchen is written around a Virginia family of the old aristocracy, by the name of Daingerfield, who. finding themselves temporarily embarrased, decide to rent their home to a rich Yankee. One of the conditions of the lease by the well-to-do New Englander stipulated that a competent staff of white servants should be engaged for his sojourn at this stately home. This servant ques- tion presented practically unsurmountable difficulties, and one of the daughters of the family conceives the mad-cap idea that she, her sister and their two brothers shall act as the domestic staff for the wealthy Yankee. Olivia Dangerfield, who is the ring-leader in the merry scheme, adopts the cognomen of Jane Ellen, and elects to preside over the destinies of the kitchen. Her sister, Elizabeth, is appointed house- maid. Her elder brother, Paul, the butler, and Charley, the youngest of the group, is appointed to the position of bootboy. When Burton Crane arrives from the North, accompanied by Mrs. Falkener, her daughter and Crane ' s attorney, Tucker, they find the staff of servants to possess so many methods of behavior out of the ordinary that amusing complications begin to arise immediately. Olivia ' charm and beauty impress Crane above everything else, and the merry story continues through a maze of delightful incidents until the real identity of the heroine is disclosed, but not until Crane has professed his love for his charming cook, and the play ends with the brightest prospects of happiness for these two young people.

SYNOPSIS ACT I A great fete is being held in honor of the coming of age of the emperor ' s daughter. Princess Crysanthemum. She is loved by Prince So-Tru, and returns his affections, but he has a rival in the person of Prince So-Sli, who seeks the aid of Saucer-Eyes, the wizard cat, who carries off the princess to the cave of Inky Night, leaving the emperor and Prince So-Tru distracted at her strange disappearance. ACT II Princess Chrysanthemum, imprisoned in the cave of Inky Night, with the aid of a magic ring summons the Fairy Moonbeam, who is about to help her when she drops the ring and cannot find it. Fairy Moonbeam disappears at the loss of the ring.and the unhappy princess is left to bewail her fate. Prince So-Tru manages to obtain entrance to the cave, and finds the ring, which at once causes Fairy Moon- beam to return and aid him. At this moment the emperor arrives with his attendants and takes Saucer-Eyes prisoner, bearing him in triumph to his palace. ACT 111 Threatened with torture, Saucer-Eyes confesses the complicity of Prince So-Sli, whom the emperor orders to instant execution. This is, however, frustrated by the appearance of Princess Chrysanthemum, accompanied by Prince So-Tru and Fairy Moonbeam with her band. The emperor pardons Saucer-Eyes and So-Sli at the request of the princess, thus bringing everything to a happy conclusion. Debate The A. H. S. preliminary contest was held in the High School gym. Those who tried out for the debate were Vada Lynn. Morton Dove and Philip Harding. The question was concerning a settlement of industrial disputes. After much meditation, the judges chose Philip to represent A. H. S. in the contest between Auburn, Garrett, and Butler. The next contest was held the following Friday in the A. H. S. gym. There was as much pep shown as if it had been a basketball game. Philip ' s opponents were John Fulks from Garrett and Earl McDonald from Butler. In this, too, he won. Bravo, Phil! The county contest was held the following week at the Methodist church. The towns participating in the contest were St. Joe, Waterloo and Auburn. By winning this contest it enabled Philip to represent A. H. S. in the district contest. The district contest was held three weeks later at Angola, in the community gym. It was to decide who should go to Bloomington to the state contest. Here Philip ' s opponents were from Pleasant Lake, Kendallville. Fort Wayne, Columbia City and Shipshewana, and he lost. (71) JUNIOR-SENIOR POT LICK SUPPER The Junior-Senior pot luck supper was held in the gym, Thursday, April 19th. Every- body brought something to eat, and at 6::!ll we all assembled in the domestic science room to eat all the delicious things, which included sardines and Limburger cheese. Everyone appreciated them so much, and certainly thanked Geng for the contribution. After eating and eating until everything disappeared and we were sufficiently satisfied, we scampered down into the gym and indulged in such dignified games as jump the rope and tug of war. The party broke up rather early, because we ran out of entertainment after Philip broke his watch chain jumping the rope. Everybody left in their Rolls-Royces (Fords) about S o ' clock, perfectly satisfied with a delightful evening. JUNIOR SOCIETY Doubtless the Juniors are the most sociable class in the High School. They have had two parties and a wie ner roast this year. The wiener roast was first — in October at the county farm woods. Over the fields and fences, in the creek and out again, to a roaring fire and lots of eats. Doc and Jim had charge of the wieners, and the number they kept in reserve outclassed anything the others saw. Miss Dougherty and Mr. Vass chaperoned, but Peggy and Miss West got lost. They stopped at the county farm, and after looking around the place for the Juniors, decided that they must have taken to the woods. They fol- lowed, and arrived after all the eats were gone. Then in December they had a big party at Ton Reed ' s. The fellows spent a lot of money bidding on shadows for partners, and were overjoyed at the deception of the screen. The Seniors enjoyed the eats almost as much as the Juniors. Al loyal Juniors remember Dollar, Dollar, out at Pearl Rigg ' s in February. Anil then the square dances! They never bail more fun. SOPHOMORE SOCIETY Because it had been decreed that each class could have only one party a semester, we decided to make it a rousing one and urge everybody to lie present. The party was held in the gym. on November 15. Everyone reported a good time. We especially enjoyed the play and the eats. After vacation we decided to have a bob party. This idea had to be given up on account of the mud. The failure on the part of Old Man Weather discouraged us, but finally the Freshies and Sophomores decided that they must have a party. It was held in tin- gym on March 25. Several races were on the program, and the winners enjoyed the prizes. ( ? ) We departed early ( ? ) because there was school the next day. As Juniors we hope to hold parties as enjoyable as these, but there can be no better ones. FRESHMAN HALLOWE ' EN PARTY When we arrived at the High School we found that a detour must he made to the back door, so accordingly to the hack door we went. There a ghost met us and conducted us up a dark stairway, where we were met by a Turkish lady, who directed us down some more stairways. On the stairway leading to the gym. we were cautioned of some broken step; therefore we (lung to the banister, and re- ceived a shock which made us jump. Oh, safely down in the gym at last! We found chairs facing the stage, where a few clever stunts were given. Afterward Miss West gave two short readings. While the orchestra played we paraded around the room, so that the judges could select the ones best masked. It was such a mix-up that no one really found out. The alphabetical journey caused much amusement. Pop corn and apples were passed around in large baskets. We went home early, for Freshmen are not allowed to stay up late, and felt that that we had had a very enjoyable time. —Ruth Whitten. PARENT-TEACHERS ' RECEPTION The reception given by the Parent-Teachers ' Association the first week of October, 1922, proved a great success. The parents of the students in the various city schools met at the Mcintosh High School and were introduced to the teachers of the various buildings by chosen com- mittees. The parents of students enrolled in the Mcintosh and Junior High Schools met in the assembly room. Those of the DeSoto building occupied the office of 11. L. McKenney, principal of the Mcintosh High. The teachers of the Harrison grade school were presented in Room (i, and those of the Riley school in the office of G. W. Youngblood, city superintendent of schools. At S o ' clock a musical program was given in the assembly room, after which refreshments were served. The program was as follows: Piano Solo, Meditation Mr. LeRoy Close Piano Solo, ' Danube Waltz Mr. LeRoy Close Reading. Maker of Dreams Miss Eldah Clayton Tenor Solo. One Fleeting Hour Mr. H. M. East Soprano Solo, The Wind Mrs. Ruth Mallahan Soprano Solo, I ' ll Build a World in the Heart of a Rose Mrs. Ruth Mallahan The Committee — Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Brown. Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Timhrook and Air. and Mrs. G. W. Youngblood. Mcintosh and Junior High Committee — Dr and Mrs. J. E. Graham, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Pomeroy, Mr. and Mrs. Heyler and Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Winter. DeSoto Committee — Mr. and Mrs. Albert Grube and Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Lige. Harrison Committee — Mr. and Mrs. Fred Knott and Mr. and Mrs. Don Sprott. Riley Committee — Mr and Mrs. McBride. (73) FACULTY BLOW-OUT On Friday, September 30, 1!)22, a bunch of young and comely matrons, who pro- pound knowledge in the Auburn schools, flivvered to the palatial mansion of Miss Treva Kessler at Tri-Lake. Misses Dougherty, Humphreys and Hebel went canoeing at the unbecoming hour of 10. They did not return, even for the sumptuous noon-day repast, and a searching party was organized. They were found listening for that most beautiful sound of nature, viz., the mating song of the clam. After much persuasion they finally con- sented to return to headquarters for rations. Those present at this wild debauch were Miss Amnion, Miss Humphreys, Miss Thrush, Miss Dougherty, Miss West, Miss Hebel, Miss Thornburg, Miss Dowell, Miss Ervin, Miss Armstrong, Miss Kessler. and last, but by no means least, Mr. Leitzman. The great source of excitement was Piggy ' s upsetting the canoe and returning soggily homeward. CHATTERBOX PARTY Big party in the A. H. S. gym. All student body and faculty to be the guests of Miss Thrush and the Chatterbox staff. As each guest entered the A. H. S. doors he was presented with a card with cats and bats and mysterious names printed on it. Then upstairs, and through the darkness were seen great, spooky ghosts. They came forward and greeted each guest and led them down through a long, dark hall, where they stumbled over slippery, snaky tubes, and led on down through the winding stairway, past skeletons, clanking chains and all manner of nerve-wrecking devices. After everyone became acquainted in the gym. a very entertaining trial was held. Mr. J. W. Mclntyre featured as judge. Eloise Harris, the bride, charged Bob jjittle with cruelty, and was suing for a divorce. After the trial a general good time was enjoyed by everyone, and four big booths were opened, where, by presenting the card with cats and bats on it, all the candied apples, cider, doughnuts and candy that anyone could possibly eat were handed out. When the party was over and all said good-night, everyone declared that never was a better party held in the A. H. S. gym, and Miss Thrush and the Chatterbox staff were considered the most delightful of hosts and hostesses. Hi-Y Club The Hi-Y Club has become a permanent part of Auburn High. It is an organization no high school should be without. Its purpose is to create a better moral standing among boys of high school age. Auburn High is to be congratulated on being able to secure the services of Mr. W. A. Rubner of the Y. M. C. A. as a director of the club. Under his super- vision the club has completed a most successful year. Numerous social events mark the progress of the club in school life. When a banquet or social gathering is planned, it is put in the hands of the Hi-Y. They see that it goes over big. And it does. Leadership of such an organization is a delicate problem, and yet the club feels confident that the present officers will continue the good work of the past. They have secured exceptional speakers for the various meetings, and big plans are under way for bigger and better get together meetings. Regular meetings are held each Tuesday, consisting of a supper and a general business discussion. Every other Tuesday an outside speaker is secured to talk on any subject which would be of interest to the club. The Hi-Y officers for ' 23 are: Marshall Link, president; Franklin Baker, vice president; Edward Bourns, treasurer; Ralph Black, secretary. Motto: Fifty members in 1924. Commercial Club On the first Monday night in November a body of Commercial students assembled for the purpose of organizing a Commercial Club. Every person joining the club was required to have passing grades in three subjects, and that he or she must be a student in at least two commercial subjects. It was the purpose of the club to promote a greater school spirit and to raise the scholarship of the students by its requirements. The officers of the club were secretary by the club. vice president and president, all elected At different times during the year the club meets for the purpose of initiating new members, and discusses different subjects in connection with the regular program. The club is now preparing to give a play, The Poor Married Man, in order to secure funds for new commercial equipment and to pay the expenses of the typing team who represented Auburn in the state championship meet held at Muncie. Following are listed the names of the members: First Row — Chester Baker, Lucile Baker. Thelma Myers, Eloise Harris. Second Row — Morton Dove, Gertrude Phelps, Mary Johnson, secretary; LeMojne Johnson, president; Lavornia Squires, Beulah Lower. Third Row — Walter McBride, John Creasy, Ruth Daum, Vera Crabill, T. D. Vass, organizer and adviser; Mary Campbell. Charlotte Thomas, Floride Jenner, Donner West. Top Row — Ralph Black. Delight Baker. Martha Falka, Marian Williams. Genevieve Berg, Mae Denny, Lott Scofield. (77) Manual Training Manual Training in our High School is purely elective, yet the opening of the present year found the candidates for the work exceeding the capacity of our equip- ment. It was therefore necessary to disappoint some boys, although we believe the adjustment was made satisfactorily. The twenty boys who started the course were as follows: Harris Berg Guy Donley Maurice Close Leonard Daub Kenneth Frick Francis Gallagher Lloyd Hoodelmier Wayne Hilkey Richard Kruse Henry Kressley Donald Lucas Richard McDowell Kenneth Osbun Clayton Sattison Harold Snyder Adrian Timbrook Carl Wappes Weston Walter Vernon Wiseman Walter Shafer Of the above, three withdrew during the first semester: Guy Donley, Richard Mc- Dowell and Carl Wappes. At the beginning of the second semester Garth Silberg and Donald Morr, a former Ashley student, entered the class. We are closing the year with nineteen students, which leaves a net loss of one. The time element this year is the same as last. High School students devote one-half day, each day, throughout the year, and thereby receives two credits. One-half the time was devoted to mechanical drawing and the other half to bench and lathe projects. As usual, it has been an intensely busy year. At the writing of this copy, March 30th, the class has produced approximately five hundred plates of mechanical drawings, one hundred twenty-five individual lathe and bench projects, and forty projects for the school system in general. These school jobs range from simple repair jobs to very complicated new work. Some time, in the near future, we hope, we anticipate larger and more con- venient quarters wherein we may enrich our present course and make the work even more vital than it is now. We need to give more stress to those studies in our schools that tend to inspire constructive thought, concentrated thinking and definite results — educating the eye, the mind, the imagination and the hand — creating and executing the mental picture; bringing into play all that is best in man. (7S) (79) Junior-Senior Glee Club The Junior-Senior Glee Club has been such a long-standing organization that it was formed again this year as a matter of course. But when they all got together it wasn ' t such a bad bunch. They have not appeared in public this year, but that was not because they were not capable. You will have to admit if they hadn ' t been in the Princess Chrysanthemum it would have been a failure. At the first meeting they decided to meet every Monday evening, but as that was a hard time for some of the girls, it was decided it should meet after school. Katharine Lollar was elected president. If there v re any vocal prodigies in the club, the credit must Amnion, who is one of the most efficient teachers ever had in School. be given to Miss the Auburn High Katharine Lollar, Esther Whitten, The members of the Junior-Senior Glee Club are: Sopranos, Eunice Ballard, Virginia Schmadel, Geneva Apt, Mary Beugnot Edith Ashleman and Eloise Harris; altos, Wilma Knott, Sylvia Brunkhart, Ruth Farver and Mary Johnson; pianist, Kathryn Brown. (81) Freshman-Sophomore Glee Club The Freshman-Sophomore Glee Club was organized last year, and it proved to be such a success that it was reorganized this year. They have not appeared in public as much this year as last, but say — they sure can sing! Don ' t you remember Princess Chrysanthemum? It sure would not have been such a success it ' the P. S. Glee Club had not been there. Perhaps they are waiting until next year — when they are dignified upper classmen -—to make their social debut. At the first meeting LaRea Foote was elected as our chief chorister, or better, president. M ; iss Amnion certainly has done her part this year, and although it is her first year in A. H. S., she has been right at home. and has a long list of friends. The members of the F. S. Glee Club are: Sopranos. Betsy Reesch, Helen Grogg, LaRea Foote. Eloise Harris, Myrth Pomeroy, Nelline Faylor, Helen Chichester, Doris Jones, Kathryn Groscop, Helen Geisinger, Jeannette Summers, Julia Duncan, Hildred Ensley, Dorothy Nagle and Carol Kutzner; altos, Helen Shook, Dorothy Courtemanche, Helen Brandon, Hilda Weaver, Alta Pomeroy, Naomi Kraft, Ruth Whitten, Katrina Baker and DoLores Lucas. (82) (S3) Orchestra The Auburn High School Orchestra for the year 1022-23 has been an exceptionally c ' ;ood organization, and has met with a year of good success. The orchestra first assisted in the Junior and Senior play, Come Out of the Kitchen, and took part in the operetta, Princess Chrysanthemum, which was given by the High School Glee Clubs. It also played at the Commercial Club for two banquets. Wesley Shepherd entered the organization at the latter part of the school year. Wesley has done good work in what little time he has been with us. We give most of the credit to our excellent leader. Miss Amnion, who has put forth every effort to make the orchestra a better success. The arrangement for this year is: Violin, Paul Bateman. Glenwood Link, Clifford Parrett, Howard Sellers, Genevieve Berg; clarinet, James Rainier, Ralph McBride, Wesley Shepherd; saxaphone. Pearl Rigg; cornet, Harris Berg, Clark Clement; trom- bone, Jacob Saltsman; cello, Anna Teeters; drums, Robert Little; piano. Esther Whitten. (84) i sr, , v.+ jqu. uiQ. HfiSjPLtPi jgi afc, Vocational Agriculture This is the fourth year for Vocational Agriculture, and the hoys who have fol- lowed it through graduate this year. This is the largest membership of any year. Although the High School does not hear much from them, they are there and working. They are planning to send teams to Purdue round-up, and expect to bring home some trophies. The class was organized and officers elected as follows: DeLoss Frank, president; Harold Varner, secretary; Ralph Heffley, treasurer. Bible Class The Bible Class was formed under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. in the high schools in the state of Indiana. One-half a credit is given for the work in an eight weeks ' course under a teacher, and at the end of the eight weeks a final test is given for the people who want to take it. If you pass in the test you are given one-half credit for your work. The eight weeks ended on the 13th of April this year, and the test was taken by a large per cent of the ilass. The school having the largest percentage of attendance during the eight weeks gets a large silver cup given by the Y. II. C. A. The officers were chosen as follows: Philip Harding, president: Dale Thomas, vice president; DuVern Graham, secretary; Walter Koscht, treasurer; Lowell Bourns sergeant at arms. (87) Girls Vocational History In the fall of 1919 as green Freshmen we entered the High School building, but felt as if we had one over the upper classmen, for we were to be the first vocational class ever organized in Auburn. What does it mean? and What do we do? were the main questions that Miss Farley answered. We soon learned that our work was to consist the first year of foods, and cookery, general science, art and garment making. We were to have one-half day of vocational work, giving us two credits, thus only requiring two other subjects. We go through the first year just fine, all very much enthused over our new course. The second year was still more fun, for we were in the new high school building, and we had a fine kitchen, and to our utmost joy, a bed room, dining room, kitchenette and bath room. Now along with our housekeeping, dietetics, home nursing, ele- mentary dressmaking and art, we began to plan, the second year, to earn money to furnish our little home. And we sure did work hard, serving meals for the basket- ball tournament, selling candy and doing many other odd jobs. We were also working hard that we might earn enough to go to the vocational boys ' and girls, roundup at Purdue University. There were six of us girls who went and had a good time. We bought a dining room suite (Queen Anne style) and paid the car fares of the girls who went to Purdue with the money we made. We had a wiener roast with the boys, and everybody kept their reputations up by trying to eat the most. Miss Farley and Miss Clevenger get the praise for all we learned the second year. The third year didn ' t start out so well, for we had new instructors and they thought us terrible, but soon found out we were harmless. Miss Viemont and Miss Moody were the ones to instruct us along the line of house planning and furnishing, household chemistry, sewing and millinery. We had a lively time that year, and earned a goodly amount by selling candy at the basketball games. The Sophomores served the teachers, and we served the Commercial Club banquet. With the money we earned we bought our bed room suite, consisting of bed and chiffonier, and decorated our dining room walls, and the eight girls that went to Purdue had their car fare paid. Besides, we bought equipment for the dining room and kitchen. The fourth year wasn ' t so bad getting started, for we had only one new teacher to get acquainted with her, and we find her full of fun. We find our Senior work this year, consisting of physics, home management, art and advanced dressmaking and the home management, was very much enjoyed, as we each had a project and did our work at home, and the fifth week we brought in our exhibit, and best of all was when we got to sample the wonderful cakes, pies and bread. The Sophomore girls are serving meals, and we have been selling candy at the basketball games. The girls have also served meals at the Country Club. We intend using our money to get some equipment and to decorate the bed room walls. The Senior girls would not give up the the practical things they learned in their four years for manv vears of Latin, Spanish, etc. —Hilda Hilkey. (SS) (89) Chatterbox Staff In 1!)2() Robert Wayne Clark started a high school paper for Auburn, called the Chatterbox. Since that time it has been loyally supported by the students of A. H. S., and is in exchange with many other schools at present. When school started in the fall of ' 22, Lowell Bourns gathered the staff together and started the year out right, and made a success of it. Lowell was editor-in-chief; Dale Thomas, business manager; Sylvia Brunkhart, circulation manager; Walter Koscht, advertising manager, and LaRea Foote, exchange editor. The reporters were Elsie Grubb. Bud Baker, Kinley Tracy. Philip Harding, Thelma Myers, Anna Baker, Walter McBride and Francis Franz. They have been real faithful in getting good material for the paper. In January a new call for officers was made. Those elected to make a larger business of it were: James Rainier, editor-in-chief; Eloise Harris, assistant editor; Ward Swarts, business manager; Marian Williams, circulation manager; Marie Wil- liams, assistant circulation manager; Bud Baker, Francis Franz and Anna Baker, athletics; Katherine Dawson, jokes, and Marshall Link, editorials. In the latter part of the year 1921, the Chatterbox became a member of the Central Interscholastic Press Association. This meant that we were among the best papers in the United States. This association sends out little papers often to give us better ideas in publishing our paper. Our paper is much appreciated by other schools, and with our old force we expect to gain still newer ideas and make the paper better in coming years. Art Class The art class of this year has been useful as well as ornamental. We found numerous opportunities to make practical application of our skill; in fact, several of them were wished upon us. In addition to our regular work, we accomplished the following: For educational week we made numbers of placards, such as Children of Today — Citizens of tomorrow, and A Godly nation cannot fail. We designed a stencil border suitable for our model bed room in the home econom ics department, and cut the stencil double. For the Japanese operetta we made sixteen posters and did our share in adver- tising the operetta all over town. We were also called in for stage decorations, and onstructed artistic if not realistic Japanese cherry trees of pink crepe paper and willow sprouts. We made nine posters for the indoor fair also. And last, but not least, the drawings for the Annual were made in the art class. Most of the actual work was done by Walter McBride. We hope you like them, for unless you ' ve done it once you don ' t realize how much time and labor it takes to put out an annual to meet the popular approval.
