Superintendent Valparaiso University Wisconsin University Indiana University That isn ' t generally done around here. Mr. McKenney is respected as well as liked by all students because of his fairness and his desire is to make A. H. S. second to none in the state. Through his efforts our plans for a new Gym are being realized. E. F. Fribley, A. B. Principal DePauw University Columbia University Sincet here are so many extra-curricular activities going on around here now — . This is Mr. Fribley ' s first year in A. H. S. but we have all found out that he is just the Principal we want to make our school among the first. He ' s known as Firpo around the halls. Vera M. Walter Clerk Well, I don ' t know just what to do. Whenever students are seeking favors they go to Vera and are sure of having them fulfilled. We couldn ' t possibly get along without her, for she is always able to fill the most difficult parts in plays or operettas. ENGLISH AND LATIN Marion Thrush, A. B. Depauw University Columbia University This is Friday afternoon. Miss Thrush ' s English class is something to look forward to, even on Friday after- noon after the trying seventh period assem- bly. She doesn t receive an out of town visitor occasionally, as formerly — maybe because the weather is pretty fair around here. Opal Leitzman, A. B. Franklin College Central Normal College I ndianapolis Metropolitan Indiana University All right now — let ' s have it with barrels of pep. During the past few years more interest has been taken in dramatics and public speaking, due to the ability of Mrs. Leitz- man. Seeing the Kentucky mountains in a Ford seems to have agreed admirably with her. Maude Armstrong Michigan State Normal College Syracuse University. Don ' t let that gray matter lie dormant. Miss Armstrong has been the means of transporting many of us to the celestial realms of literature. She is always there at 8 30 sharp, to take the roll, even though many seats are still vacant. •:v :v:vX;XvX : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :-: : : HISTORY Frank Weathers, A. B. Muncie Normal. DePauiv University. Chicago University. Now, I don ' t like to bawl you out, but—. Mr. Weathers has given much of his time this year to writing receipts for the Athletic Association. He is back of everything to better A. H. S. Skeet ' s one English class has been the cause of much consultation with another teacher of the English Depart- Elenora B. DeVine, A. B. Earlham College University of Wisconsin. Northwestern University. Down at Columbia City. Miss DeVine is often hurried on Friday by the arrival of a distinguished visitor or a special delivery letter. As to how much her knowledge of her home town has helped her, only the Senior Civics classes can tell. Her good nature is unfailing. ••■•• .♦•-; ■•. .. •.•. ' .•.•.•.•.•.v.w. ' .w MATHEMATICS AND COMMERCIAL Jay E. Waskom, A. B. Mathematics Indiana University. ' Well, I couldn ' t get that one either. Mr. Waskom has had considerable trouble in getting a car. Having had three cars he has finally decided that a Ford is the best. By a glance in Room 5 you can tell that Oscar ' ' is popular with the fellows. :•:• Thomas D. Vass, B. C. S., B. S. S. Commercial Business University of Kentucky. Indiana University Chicago University. Michigan University. That reminds me of a story. The Commercial Department under Mr. Vass has proved very successful. However, T. D. ' s talents are by no means limited for he has proved his value in athletics, has coached two plays, as well as filling the most difficult position of Senior Class Principal. • • • • . • ••••• •:•:•£%• SCIENCE R. S. Schooley, A. B. Science Mathematics Indiana State formal, Terre Haute Indiana University. University of Marsaille. Now take a very common make of car — the Ford. Mr. Schooley is one of the faculty who owns a Ford. Although he is a new teacher this year, he has received the unanimous ap- proval of Chemistry and Physics students. He is also an ever present help in time of trouble for the Geometry students. We shall touch only lightly on his progress as champion booze-tester of DeKalb county. Emma L. Force, A. B. Indiana University. Since there are only a few minutes left—. Miss Force proved early in the year to be the bravest member of the Faculty, for she was the first to have her hair bobbed. She is voted a popular member of the Faculty by all her classes, especially her Span- ish Class. .-. ' . •.:•. ' .•. ' .: AGRICULTURE AND MANUAL TRAINING Charles G. Hornaday, B. S. A. Vocational Agriculture Purdue University. Well, now boys — . Mr. Hornaday has made the agriculture course in A. H. S. very practical and has carried on a twelve months study with pro- fitable results for both the students and far- mers in the community. Mr. Hornaday, too, finds a Ford useful in his business. I. M. Cosper Manual Training Tri-State College. Purdue University. That is quiet unecessary. The Manual Training boys have develop- ed much skill under the direction of Mr. Cosper Exhibits from the Wood Shop have received much favorable comment. Every play cast is much indebted to Mr. Cosper for stage properties. •.♦.•. v.v.w.v.v.v.v r o u les oj i g 2 ,•.«-.•.•.-. ViV.%v.v;vi %v v.w.v.v,: HOME ECONOMICS Bessie M. Viemont, B. S. Vocational Home Economics Purdue University. At times my nerves are unable to stand all this jabber. Miss Viemont ' s best known virtue is her patience. She created an excitement last March when she appeared for the first time wearing a Frat pin. 1 .••: Mildred Tingley, B. S. Vocational Home Economics Purdue University. Well— if you see Mr. Fribley first. Miss Tingley wears a Frat pin. We don ' t like that, because it means we can ' t keep her here. We first became acquainted with her through the account of her trip to Japan, which she made as State Student Secretary of the Y. W. C. A. ART AND MUSIC Thelma Beelman Art Cleveland School of Art. Ohio Wesleyan University. Oh, that ' s good. Miss Beelman, as Art Supervisor, has prov- ed more than efficient. She has proved pop- ular for a certain Sophomore bunch, as chap- eron, perhaps because she seems as young as they. Fern Amnion Music Western College. Oberlin College. Northwestern University. Oh, isn ' t that fine! Miss Ammon has discovered and brought out the musical talent in A H. S. with Glee Clubs, Operettas, Musical Contests, and im- proving the orchestra Her personality has made every student her friend. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Sewell H. Leitzman Great Lakes Hospital School. Central Normal College. North American Gymnastic Union. Indiana University. We ' ve a better team this year than ever before. Mr Leitzman has built up a real basket ball team for A. H. S. and has introduced football and other athletic sports. Piggy is strong for vacations — especially honey- moons. Jane Eagles, A. B. DePauw University. Columbia University. ' Remember, you ' ve got to do your stuff or — . Jane has made an enviable record with her basketball girls this season. Only the most enthusiastic response is made at the mention of her. We can easily see why DePauw ' s W. A A. voted her the best sportswoman in the school.

And the house of Mcintosh called their tribe Freshmen. There ruled over them a good king of the house of Youngblood, a mighty ruler who decreed that on the twelfth day they should minister a chosen four of them for officers. They harkened unto him and did as they were bidden. James of the house of Little, was chosen leader, Marion of the house of Borst, as second leader, Naomi of the house of Hensel, scribe, Louise of the House of Dennison, keeper of the coffers, and Frances of the house of Farley, elder of the tribe. And it came to pass that during the days of their sojourn, they were sore afflicted with plagues of Latin, Botany and Algebra. And the whole congre- gation murmered against it. Now at the third hour of the twentieth day the elder tribes of Senior, Junior and Sophomore saith unto the younger: This night shalt thou make merry with us in the temple of the Y. And many days after this rejoicing the tribes of Sophomore and Freshmen did partake in great pleasure. And after nine months they did beseech the king that he wouldst give them a rest. Then the king commanded that they shouldst go forth from hence but return in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and twenty-one, the ninth month and the sixth day. And they didst praise him for his mercy. And it came to pass that they, returning, had set over them task masters to afflict them with burdens of Geometry and Caesar. Nor did they grant unto them much time for feasting or rejoicing. Four of the congregation were ministered into office: Waldo of the house of Long, as leader, Marshall of the house of Link as second leader, Naomi of the house of Hensel as scribe and Eloise of the house of Harris as keeper of the coffers. Alfred of the house of Gray was decreed elder of the tribe of Sophomore. And after the given time they again beseeched the king for mercy. Now the mighty king, who had dealt with them wisely and well, did harden his heart against them who did not obey his commands, nor wouldst he let them join the tribe of Juniors. And it came to pass that those returning as Juniors triumphed in a great song of exaltation and sang, Caesar ' s Army and His Foes are Vanquished. And the Sophomores were sore afraid. And those ministered into office were Walter of the house of Koscht, as leader, Ward of the house of Swart s, second leader, Katherine of the house of Dawson, scribe, and Marshall of the house of Link, keeper of the coffers, and T. D. of the house of Vass, elder of the tribe. And twice, during their sojourn as the tribe of Juniors did they rejoice in the halls of Reed and the halls of Rigg. And, lo, the elder didst raise aloft his rod, and the waters parted of tribulation, and they passed through into the promis- ed land as the tribe of Seniors. And it came to pass that in the fourth year of their sojourn here they didst again assemble a wise and learned people. And every wise-hearted man didst say unto himself, T. D. of the house of Vass, having long and faithfully served, shalt serve again as elder.

We chose Dale Walter for our President, Myrth Pomeroy, Vice-President, Betsey Reesch, Secretary and Russell Bills, Treasurer. Miss Humphreys was our class Principal. We were given a rousing reception by the upper classmen, soon after we had entered on our new routine. We had many enjoyable parties, sleigh rides and weiner roasts during the year. We assembled once again in ' 22, but we had lost thirteen of our classmates. After an exciting campaign we elected Edward Bourns, President; Glen Yoquelet, Secretary; Marie Williams, Treasurer and Miss Thrush, Principal. We began to realize that we had really had a snap last year, after we began to battle with Caesar and other notable characters. Because of our desire to keep our record we had only one party and a picnic at Hamilton, but these were so successful that we were well satisfied with our Sophomore year. We were now Juniors. Glen Yoquelet led us successfully through this year, aided by Cortland Frederick as Vice-President; La Rea Foote, Secretary and Erma Smith, Treasurer Our social events were limited to a bob party and a carnival, because we had to save money for the banquet. The Junior- Senior banquet this year will well repay us for loss of parties and will be one long remembered. Next year is our last and we hope that it shall be our best, for we are com- ing back next year to work for Auburn High. 0plj0mm si npljontorr (Elass Charles Ashelman Clark Clement Arthur George DeVoy Showers Charles Beard Harris Berg Frederic Bishop Chalmer Carper Maurice Clark Leonard Daub Stewart Faulkner Merlin Freeman Kenneth Frick Vergil Gerig Lewis Gibford Harold Gramling Glenn Grosh Buster Hetrick Lloyd Hoodelmier Henry Kressly Kenneth Kuhlman Robert Little Donald Lucas Ralph McBride Donald Morr Ralph Noel Kenneth Osbun Dundas Parker Harry Provines Dayton Salon Walter Sibert Garth Silberg Harold Snyder Adrian Timbrook Weston Walter David Yarian Katrinia Baker Helen Baker Alice Barnhart Thelma Buss Edythe Buss Velma Carper Phyllis Cool Ruby Dosch Julia Duncan Jessie Dunten Hildred Ensley Lucille Esselburn Nelline Faylor La Von Fell Helen Geisinger Lucile Gillett Leah Goe Kathryn Groscup Florence Hanson Dawn Hess Margaret Kessler Frieda Knott Gertrude Korff Naomi Kraft Mozelle Long Dolores Lucas Mildred Manon Agatha Oiler Thurnold Pollard Alta Pomeroy Nevah Provines Edith Reeder Ruby Rinehold Thelma Steininger Ruth Squires Jennette Summers Ruth Whitten Geraldine Duguid oplpmarr dUnsa Tjftatoru On the morning of September 7, 1922, more than one hundred timid Freshmen answered the call of the school hell and came to the Mcintosh High School. Soon we organized our class, choosing our officers as follows: Robert Little, President; Kathryn Groscup, Vice-President; Nelline Faylor, Secretary; Frieda Knott, Treasurer; and Mrs. Leitzman, Class Advisor. Fo r our class colors we decided on old rose and silver, and for our class flower the sweet pea. Soon after we selected our class pins. That year our activities were confined to a Hallowe ' en party in the High School Gym, and a picnic at Lake Gage at the end of the year Each of these was a great success. We, as Freshmen, were well represented in Athletics, contributing Naomi Kraft and Katrinia Baker to the girls ' baskethall squad, and DeVoy Showers to the football team. With these honors attending, the year closed with great expectations for our Sophomore year. September 3, 1923, most of us returned, proud and happy, for we were Sophomores, the best of all classes. At our first class meeting we elected Stewart Faulkner, President; Harris Berg, Vice-President; Naomi Kraft, Sec- retary, retaining Frieda Knott as Treasurer and Mrs. Leitzman as Class Ad- visor. This year our Hallowe ' en party was held in the country, at the home of Maurice Clark, one of our number, and surpassed even our Freshman Frolic In addition to retaining our first members entered in athletics, we have added DeVoy Showers, Lloyd Hoodlemier and Harold Snyder to the boys ' basketball squad, and Dawn Hess to the girls ' team. Now, at the close of the year, we are looking forward happily to the joy of being upper-classmen.

Stye f i-H (Elub The Hi-Y Club has completed what might be termed a routine year. It ' s regular Tuesday evening meeting has been filled with numerous talks and dis- cussions by various business men of the town. In previous years the Club has emphasized the social side of school life, but owing to the organization of so many Clubs for that purpose it has been found impossible to put on the usual number of banquets and parties. The leadership of such an organization is always one of the most difficult tasks, yet the Club feels confident that it has secured the best possible.

The seniors decided they wanted the Club re-organized, so Mr. Weathers urged a meeting as soon as possible at which the following officers were elected: President, Vice-President and Secretary- Treasurer. In order to belong to the History Club the student must have a grade of C 85-90) or above. With this restriction the number in the organization was greatly diminished Juniors were then permitted to enter. The first meeting was held at the high school, each member representing some noteworthy his- torian. In February the eligible Sophomores were taken into the Club, but not be- fore they had withstood sufficient initiation. The initiates were first col- lected at the high school, blind-folded and led to the Y. M. C. A., where they received an appetizing banquet, followed by that terrible fear, initiation. They frankly admitted after the initiation that they felt as if they could be good, true and loyal to the History Club organization, respecting all rules set before them. The meetings are held every two weeks at the homes of the members or at the high school Current topics of the day are discussed, and occasionally a good debate by some of the worthy members is enjoyed. One of the outstanding events was the banquet given for the faculty the third week in February. They certainly must have enjoyed themselves, the way they acted.

Having won with ease the County, Regional, District, and Territorial Meets, she was eligible to enter the State Meet at Indianapolis. Here her remarkable oration, John Marshall and the Constitution netted Auburn fifth place in the state. Her coaches, Mrs. S. H. Leitzman and Miss E. B DeVine are to be con- gratulated on the success of their pupil. To say that Auburn High is proud of Miss Wineland ' s achievement is hardly sufficient — we are indebted to her for her work in honor of the school. entnr Drietg Yea, Seniors! Let ' s go! And so they did, by starting the year off right with a wiener roast at Sellers ' woods. It was a great success, even to the snipe hunting. After eating watermelons and wienies galore, they decided to find something more exciting. Not satisfied with their trouble with the pigs, they returned to Auburn and serenaded the Court. In return for which they were admitted free. (Some class). They dropped in at Waterloo and Garrett before the evening was over and told them who they were. They then did credit to the class of twenty-four by going home early. (?) ntor Hatrlj Party New Year ' s eve the Seniors celebrated by having a Watch Party at Kath- erine Dawson ' s. They met at Jake ' s and although the whole class did not turn out there were enough to keep things going. At midnight, when things began to lag, the eats were brought in, (Oh, Boy.) They were finally devoured and, Wonder of Wonders, the Dignified Seniors then washed the dishes (just for amusement, of course!) and only broke one dish. About five-thirty they returned to Auburn after having one great party. ilmtinr £ nri?t£ The Juniors have formerly been known as the Happy Go Lucky Bunch, but this year they are known as the Studious Juniors. About Thanks- giving time the Juniors ' faces were marked with lines of care and worry. No wonder! They were going to give a carnival. It was a great success from the costumes down to the fortune telling, and everybody went away well informed as to their present, past and future. The Juniors were especially bright during January, so decided they could leave their studies one evening long enough to have a bob party. They started for Garrett but found that the snow-man had forgotten all about Garrett, so they decided to go to Waterloo, but were again forced to return to Auburn. They ended in having a successful theatre party which they declared was en- joyed just as much. .OIOivArivMy : ollies oj i g 2 4 MM i v;%svtv;% v; %• •£• ' • %•£•£%£ «j iflrrBljman Swirtij The Freshmen had their first and only party at Snepps ' barn.

Among the novelties of the evening was a Two Faced Quartette, an in- teresting Thanksgiving play, and a regular band. The refreshments were en- joyed by all present, and some more too-just ask Blackie! Care was taken that the Freshies were returned safely home, with all looking forward to the parties in the future. StaHketball lann.uet Rah 1 Rah! Team. The basketball season was successfully closed by a banquet given both teams on March 23, in the High School Gym. Apprecia- tion of the teams was fully shown by the good eats. Such a variety has never been seen. One of the most interesting games of the evening was the one between two teams of men. Due to the good (?) referee not many fouls were made. The entertainment closed with a game of indoor baseball. The credit for the success of the affair belongs to our mothers. § nnnnmnrp 0ri?tij The class of ' 26 enjoyed only one party this year, but it was so successful that it made up for all the rest that they missed. It ' s Hallowe ' en party was held at the home of Maurice Clark Although all were masked, nearly every- one was revealed by some general characteristic. They are still won- dering what was on the back porch that frightened them. They were led through many terrors, but they were still alive when the refreshments were brought in.

(Elje paHnn When Coach Leitzman called for basketball material, the response was overwhelming. That the picked squad was a good one was proved by the whirlwind fashion in which the season started The team won six straights, the hardest being with LaGrange and Ligonier. The team then went to Ken- dallville where our old rival nosed us out by a scant three points This defeat was avenged when Kendallville was handed the short end of a 25-17 score Angola was barely able to win by 22-21 on our floor Then came a period of sickness and ineligibility, and we dropped two games to Angola and Decatur 33-23 and 34-19 respectively. Garrett was humbled 34-17 after we had pre- viously lost at Garrett 12-8. The schedule was finished without another de- feat. Auburn was victorious in the county tournament, taking Garrett across lb-15 in a hard battle decided in the last minute. The tourney was held in Butler ' s Gym. Reed, Showers and Dennison proved to be great defensive players The latter two became eligible the second semester, and w ill be with the team next year. Funk and Silberg did exceptional work at the center position. Funk is a Freshman and Silberg a Sophomore Swarts and Long were excellent basket men who had real team-work. Hoodelmier and Snyder, utility, participated •n a majority of the games. They are Sophomores and will be good material next year It is the regret of the basketball fans that Reed, Long and Swarts are to be lost by graduation. However, in spite of these losses, prospects for a winning team next year are good Our chances are very bright with fine material and a new Gym in sight § riiedulr Winning Team Auburn Auburn Auburn Auburn Auburn Auburn Kendallville Angola Auburn Auburn Garrett Auburn Angola Decatur Auburn Auburn Goshen Auburn Losing Team Waterloo Lagrange Waterloo Spencerville Ligonier Butler Auburn Auburn Ligonier Kendallville Auburn Spencerville Auburn Auburn Columbia City Butler Auburn Garrett Score 28-13 32-25 36- 6 26-10 32-18 48-22 23-26 21-22 34-31 25-17 12- 8 56- 9 33-22 33-19 21-20 44-13 49-32 31-17 GJournantettt Auburn plowed through snow-drifts and slush to Angola on February 29 for the purpose of taking the tournament Angola effected the proverbial de- feat, snowing us under completely, and taking the tourney herself. Her large floor took its toll and the home team got the jump in the first half 16-2. At this time the Angola band played The Bull ' s Triumphal March. Auburn came back somewhat stronger in the last half but went down 26-10. It is fairly certain that the erection of a new gym in Auburn will guarantee a dis- trict championship team. This was the last game which Long, Reed, and Swarts played for Auburn Hi, as they will graduate this year. Coach Eagles, Jane Janes ' last word, Play your durndest, put pep into the team and we started out with the de- termination to win. A great deal of credit which the team receives should be given to Jane who supervised it. Marie Williams, Swede Swede is the tallest girl on the team.

The girls started with a bang and continued so all through the season Starting with Waterloo, they whipped them all u ntil the last game when they went down in defeat be- fore Garrett. One game of great importance was the game between Auburn and Butler. By this game it is assumed the girls won the state high point record, as they scored 1 10 points against 2. Another game was the Auburn-Garrett game at Garrett, where every girl played her best, and as a reward the game ended 28-12 in our favor. Kraft ' 26 and Williams ' 25 playing as guards, kept the opponents ' score down. Credit should be given to Marian Williams, E. Morr and G. Kline who were always ready to lend their assistance. For forwards Baker ' 24, Berg ' 24, and Lower ' 24 showed keen competition. Our centers, Foote ' 25 and Baker ' 26 were unexcelled. D Hess also was of great assistance in this position.

This sport has only in recent years been reinaugurated in Auburn Hi. And, as a team cannot be made over night, our players were somewhat inex- perienced. The first game was with South Side Hi at Ft. Wayne. There Auburn lost to one of the strongest teams in this part of the state. The next game was with Howe Military School. Howe ' s big, fast team took the long end of the score. The game with Garrett was the best on the schedule. Garrett came over confident and expectant of a big score. Auburn fought hard, and had ' it not been for a couple of costly errors, would have won. The remaining two games were lost and the season closed. Much credit is due each player for his efforts in proving Auburn more than a one-sport city. Much brighter prospects are entertained for next year. £ rt)pfotlp South Side, Fort Wayne Auburn 33-0 Howe Auburn 28-0 Garrett Auburn 12-6 Columbia City Auburn 20-0 Kenclallville Auburn 49-6 vXvXvX i%% : !%v!v o Hies of 1 g 2 4 i?s ivl j%%j v ©rark Since its introduction into Auburn Hi, track has not only proved a popular sport, hut one in which we excel. The team of ' 23 won the district champion- ship at Angola and went to the State Meet. Although Grogg, Lombard, Cook and Graham have been graduated, prospects for this year are good. A large squad answered Coach Leitzman ' s call for material this spring, and meets have been scheduled with Central of Ft. Wayne, Columbia City and Kendallville. A county meet has also been arranged. The team of ' 23 was composed of: Grogg, Long, Lombard, Graham, Franz, Cook, Thomas, Frederick, Yarian and Clark Grogg was beaten only once in two years in a dual meet. He captured the district 100 and 220 yard dashes both years. Long as sprinter, high jumper and pole vaulter, was efficient in several events, and winner in the district 440 yard dash. Lombard, a new man, won the district mile. Graham proved to be the speediest low hurdler in the district. Franz took the 120 high hurdles and is back for more this season. Cook, a new man from South Whitley, went strong in the pole vault, going to the state meet after capturing the district. Thomas, who tossed the shot, won many points for Auburn Hi. Frederick, Yarian and Clark ran the 440, 880 and the mile. They will be back this season £tati? fflnt On May 19 the track team left for the state meet with the largest number of entrants ever to go from Auburn. Grogg in the dashes, Lombard in the mile, Cook in the pole vault, Long in the quarter and high jump, and Franz and Graham in the hurdles did exceptionally well. In the morning events they seemed a bit off form, probably due to change in the temperature for it was much warmer in the central part of the state. In the afternoon the relay team placed third in 1 :37 time. They were but a few steps behind the winners. It was the first time for Auburn to win state honors in track. ' .S%%%Vi%Ti%V %!i?

(EIjp Npm Alumni ( um Auburn High is to be the owner of one of the finest gymnasiums in the state. A fact significant in itself, but which means more than that to the student of A. H. S For three years we have looked forward to the realiz- ation of this dream — now it is in view Through the efforts of Mr E. O Little, chairman of the Gymnasium com- mittee, and the Committee itself, the Alumni were interested in this project; not only interested, but pledged themselves to secure $5,000 as a nucleus, around which to build the fund Auburn High School, by means of a county wide drive to sell reserved seats for basketball games and secure additional pledges, added $4,500 to the fund The American Legion Post has recently gone on record stating that it will secure an additional $5,000. With such cooperation as this, the school board has found little difficulty in financing the new building. It will be ready for use by the opening of the next school year.

Why he picked on me I do not know unless it is because I have the honor and privilege of being chairman of the Gym Committee of the Alumni Association. When I was a boy about twelve or thirteen years old, I used to day-dream and one of my dreams was that some day a rich man would come along and give me a bicycle. (Now-a-days, I presume, the boys of this age wish for an automobile . ) Like all other boys I also had in mind a man who was my ideal of all that a man should be, and one whom I wanted to be just like when I grew up Well, I did grow up a few years later and went to work for this same man, learning the business which I have followed ever since, and, while this man was not rich, yet he did have a bicycle. He didn ' t give it to me but so far as its use was concerned it was mine for I rode it whenever and wherever I pleased. This is a strange way to say something about the Gym, but my point is this: I have always felt that if we can make our schools better, a more at- tractive, healthier, and happier place to go than we enjoyed when we were kids, it is our duty to do so. The young folks of today look to us to do for them the things that we dreamed of when we were in school. Each graduate of the Auburn schools is some boy ' s or girl ' s ideal. Dare we evade the responsibility? In accepting the chairmanship of the Gym Committee, with all its atten- dant hard work and responsibility, it was with two thoughts in mind. One was to carry out the suggestion made at our Alumni banquet last year, to make the Alumni Association stand for something worth while; the other was the idea expressed above, of doing something for the young folks of our home city, for the children of us older graduates, and for the children and grand-children of coming generations, having in mind that the reward of each and every mem- ber of this committee would be the friendship, the good will, love and respect of the youth of Auburn In this undertaking, every member of the Gym Committee, as well as the officers of the Alumni Association, and every graduate who has contributed, must feel that he has indeed had a part and has rendered a great service to Auburn and her schools. A service that is not measured in dollars contributed, but in a better physical and mental manhood, for after all a good mental train- ing is impossible if the body is sick. And then, too, each one must realize that he has had a part in providing Auburn with a much needed Community assembly place The Alumni Gymnasium will stand as a monument to the loyalty and gen- erosity of the graduates of the Auburn schools, and it is the sincere wish of the officers of the Alumni Association and the Gym Committee that its use will be dedicated to such activities that no graduate will ever have cause to regret any- thing contributed to its erection. To the young folks who will enjoy its use next year, and the next, and throughout the years to come, we say, PLAY THE GAME FAIR. Whatso- ever things are TRUE and RIGHT and HONEST are the things for which every student should contend. The honor of the school should be dear to every student and graduate, and he should ever remember that his own character and conduct reflect honor or reproach on the school as a whole. Be TRUE SPORTSMEN always, and when at length you, too, shall join the ranks of those who shall know its use no more as students, be sure that you have no regrets that you have not been guilty of a single dishonorable or un- sportsmanlike act.

Dick ' s mother invites Tot to the Barrington home that she and Dick ' s aunt and uncle may see the fiancee. Upon Tot ' s failure to arrive, Dick finally persuades Honor Bright to pose as Tot until his Uncle William and Aunt Peggy leave. When the real Tot arrives, Dick is baffled by his having to present two fiancees to his family. The situation is saved by the arrival of Bill Drum, Tot ' s press agent, and the ingenuity of Honor Bright.

The department has been handicapped by the lack of students taking the course, but by present indications the coming class will be a large one. (Stria ' Bntatiunal (Club The girls ' vocational department of A. H. S. had an enrollment of 63 during the school year of ' 23- ' 24. In the various schools over the country these Vocational departments have been coming more and more to the front. So is the situation in Auburn High School. A few years ago a class of 20 was considered large, but today women students realize the need of this training. They are taking advantage of the opportunity offered in Auburn High. Not only have they attended well to the academic side but also have developed the practical and social sides. The organization of the Girls ' Vocational Club has been the greatest single move toward advancement of this department. Under the able supervision of Miss Viemont and Miss Tingley the club has put over numerous social and educational gatherings, chief among these being a banquet given by the Voca- tional Girls ' Club in honor of the Boys ' Agriculture Department. This department has the brightest of prospects for even a bigger and better vear in ' 24- ' 25. Inrattmtal Agrirultmr This year we have the largest enrollment since the class was organized in 1919. We have one of the largest vocational classes in the state. There are 43 enrolled. The class elected the following officers: Willard Lahnum, presi- dent, John Burtzner, vice-president and Merlin Freeman, sec retary- treasurer. Among the social events were several club meetings with talks and illus- trated pictures on agricultural subjects. A basket ball team, starring John Burtzner, Edwin Dellenback, Willard Lahnum, Ralph Noel, Robert Glass and Paul Culver, was organized. A big class party was held with the voca- tional girls at which a jolly good time was had. The class has done practical work, such as selecting seed corn, culling poul- try, managing two orchards, treating potatoes and wheat, pruning vines and bushes of small fruits and conducting several observation trips. Practical work, which was done individually by the hoys, was feeding for egg production, milk production and pork production, the growing of corn, potatoes, onions, wheat, fruit and truck The subjects studied in the forenoon class were: Poultry Raising, Dairying and Horticulture. In the afternoon class, crops and agricultural botany were taught Several prizes were won at the County Corn and Potato Show. Sweep- stakes in yellow corn and several first and second places in both corn and potato entries were received i nttnr (Elasa lUftHtnnj {Concluded) Moreover, they didst build up great fires and rejoiced with much feasting.

Miss Thrush Confirms Gum Chewing Stand In an exclusive interview by a representative of this paper, Miss Marian Thrush confirmed the report that she would continue giving chewing gum to members of her classes. Before the opening of each class Miss Thrush pre- sents each student with two sticks of Wiggly ' s Chewing Gum. The students are allowed to chew only one stick at a time, with a two-minute intermission when half the period is over. Miss Thrush ' s action is strongly opposed by all mem- bers of the student body.

Though Prof. Schooley was very guarded in his answers the reporter gained enough information to assure him the discovery was epoch marking. Prof. Schooley absolutely discredits the universal theory that the moon is com- posed of green cheese. He stated, The time hon- ored belief that the moon is a mass of green cheese is rid- iculous; it is a theory for children. ' ' The proof of his statement and the real composition of the moon Prof. Schooley re- fuses to divulge as yet. He intends to present them, he has said, at the In- ternational Convention of Astronomers which meets the latter part of this month at Waterloo. Prof. Schooley ' s asser- tions have been severely criticized by such eminent men as Prof. Star of Bi- State College, and Prof. Mars of I. C. S. Both of these men rank high in their chosen fields and their criti- cisms should not be dis- regarded. Should Prof. Schooley prove his statement it will shake the theory of Modern Astronomy to its very foun- dation.

Much credit for the vict- ory goes to K. Osbun, the flashy half, whose open field running scored two touch- downs for Auburn. Seven minutes after the ball was put in play Osbun took the ball on his own 30 yard line, circled left end and raced 70 yards for the first score of the game. Again in this quarter Osbun took the ball and circled left end running through a broken field for his second marker. In the final quarter Auburn took the ball on Harvard ' s 20 vard line, then the sinewy full back, Bob Little, literally crushed the Harvard line for the remaining yards. Four times he hurled his mighty hulk against the human wall, each time he gained his ground . Only once during the en- tire game did Harvard have a chance to score; in the fifth quarter but they didn t take advantage of it. Auburn High Secures Inter-Collegiate Man Jongg Tourney Hung Hi and Hung Lo to Officiate Through the untiring ef- forts of Mr. Rinehold and Mrs. King, the Mcintosh High School has succeeded in persuading the Society for the Prevention of Pro- fanitv at Mah Jongg tables to hold their annual inter- collegiate Mah Jongg tourn- ament in our city. Great enthusiasm has been shown and such representative col- leges as Valparaiso Normal and Columbia are planning to send their teams with special Chinese rooters.

Both these young men were suit- ors for the hand of Miss Daw- son, one of the year ' s most charming debutants, and it is thought that Little took this way to rid himself of his rival. The Oilcan was fortunate in getting pictures of all three of the principals in this bloody love-triangle. Little ' s picture in a most ghoulubial pose with Miss Dawson, shows him to be a mean subject and his face bears the unmistakable st- amp of the daredevil crim- inal. When the decapitated body of Mr. Bourns was discovered floating in his own blood in a bath tub the coroner immediately report- ed death by suicide. How- ever, the finding of a bloody saw beside the tub convinced the authorities that there had been foul play. The first arrest was that of Mr. Little.

They have reasons too, for pride in the Auburn manufacturing institutions and the products that bear the city ' s name. Auburn motor cars merit the general favor in which they are held in this locality. They represent full value in any market. They are chosen in Sweden, Holland and the Phillipines and many other distant lands chiefly for the same reasons that commend them to the people of Auburn.

Kuhlman A NYBODY who does anything at all worth while in this world will surely be criticized by somebody, and undoubtedly by several somebodies. The man who can ' t do things, always has plenty of time to find fault with the man who can. To the thin-skinned or super-sensitive man, criticism acts as a poison. It dams up his energy and sets the brakes on his ability. The strong man, the man who arrives, is the man who maps out his own course, changes when he finds he is in the wrong, but does not allow himself to be whipped, lacerated and his progress impeded by mouthings of every whippersnapper who is always looking for a defect- ive spot in every apple into which he bites.
