As the faculty advisor, he has given us keen competition in Ath- letics as well as in the interscholastic department. He misses no opportunity to keep our school at the front. Vera M.

Ruth Anne Faulke, A. B. Earlham College Chicago University Miss Faulke hails from the Quaker City, Richmond. She has introduced the socialized system of History recitation. That seventh period typing class is also one of her interests. She seems to be an all-round teacher at A. H. S. oa Commercial Berl Gunthercs Gs.

DePauw University Chicago University The Seniors have claimed Mr. Sanders as their advisor for two years. We indeed appreciate his efforts for our success in any activity that we have undertaken. Dewey's “eye for the bas- ket’ is to be trusted, especially in close games. Art Lydia Sellers Teachers College, Indianapolis, Art Department Applied Art School, Chicago A pleasant smile for everyone is the outstanding characteristic of Miss Sellers. Her art class has shown a fine artistic ability as is seen by the posters, paintings, and gifts which have been made under her supervision.

Glass History We the Seniors of the Class of 26 do here submit this history to the world and especially to the classes of A. H. S. for years to come. We hope that they will Fe benefited and encouraged by our successes to ever keep advancing on to the goal of victory. It was only four years ago that we started on our campaign to. the command of “Forward March” with a mighty army of over one hundred true and loyal soldiers. Council was held at once. Robert Little was cho- en our sole leader to be advised by our elder, Mrs. Lietzman. But one man no matter how mighty, could never lead such a host of men without some assistance. We chose Kathryn Groscop. assistant, Nelline Faylor Secretary and Frieda Knott Treasurer. How utterly “green” we were when we began our task! New orders and commands had to be mastered. At the same time we were pressing onward to enter past our enemies into the land of the Sophomores. After nine months of continual struggle with Latin and Algebra we came into a new and better land. We called ourselves Sophomores but our task was only begun. New leaders were now called for. Stewart Faulkner was chosen our one and on- ly leader with Harris Berg to assist him. Naomi Kraft was chosen Secre- tary and we retained our treasurer Frieda Knott and our elderly advisor Mrs. Lietzman. Only a few of our members had forsaken us in our begin- ning campaign. With new courage to fight for the right and with a refresh- ed army of reliable soldiers we started on our second victory toward the land of the Juniors. Our foes were most difficult to overcome but after de- feating Caesar and Geometry our victory was won and we had gained one more step toward the winning goal. But we never stopped. We kept marching on and on for we never finished our task as there was always a higher goal ahead. We were content to remain in the land of Juniors, so after holding council we elected Willard lLahnum as our leader to be assisted by Frederic Bishop, Nelline Faylor as secretary and Garth Silberg as treasurer. Mr. Sanders was chosen our el- derly advisor. Having made ready our supplies and implements of war we were commanded to advance. Our foes were more easily overcome but our financial standing was almost exhausted after bidding the Seniors a fare- well with an elaborate banquet before they went into the wide, unknown world. We have reached the land of the Seniors at last and enjoy to look back and see the things we have accomplished under the leadership of Willard Lahnum, our leader, Stewart Faulkner, assistant, Nelline Faylor, Secretary, Garth Silberg, Treasurer and Mr. Sanders, advisor We are still pushing forward. We will have more victories to gain in the world after we bid our neighbors, the Juniors, farewell. Our four year campaign was not all toil and strife. We not only en- gaged in all kinds of athletics and other contesting events but we had par- ties and all sorts of ways to while away the hours when we were off duty. Our army contains some of the best athletes, artists, lawyers, doctors and other professional men that could be wished for. But. alas, we are still march- ing onward and into a wider world where we will not work together as a united army but as individuals. Nevertheless, after four year's experience of army life each one of us is prepared to keep striving upward until the last step is reached.

I shan’'t deny I was a little frightened at first and wondered if I should ever see my friends and classmates again. Things became so interesting, however, that I soon got over that scare. ‘Tell me everything, how you felt, what you saw, and everything” she said. “Well, first thing I did was to ask the pilot all about the things inside the plane. He showed me a tel-u-scope and a 1936-ramble-radio. He said that through the tel-u-scope I would be able to see pictures and by listening over the new radio learn the important facts concerning the future of my last thoughts. My last thought was ‘Would I ever see my classmates again, so of course | was very interested and sought to see and hear all [| could. “You know, one of the pictures I saw was Dundas Parker studying over a large book of ‘Paradise Lost.’ Suddenly I heard his voice say, “Ten years now I've labored over this book and have not as yet been able to write its equal. Though I've written a good many, Milton, I shall beat yours yet.’ Another picture was Helen Geisinger standing over a bed, while over the radio came these words, “Dr. Geisinger and one of her patients. ” “Oh, how interesting,” said Geraldine. “What did you see about Stew Faulkner?” “The most surprising thing, he was standing before a large class in Oxford University, England, and to be sure he was one of the leading profes- sors. ‘“T saw Sandy and Snip in a darling little house. The static was so bad I couldn't make out where they lived or what Snip was working at.” “How about Hoody and Hildred, were they married too?” she asked. “No. I’m not just sure what Hoody was doing, though he was mingling with a large crowd while a great confusion of voices was heard over the radio. He was seemingly getting praise for something, the place looked somewhat like a basketball hall. Hildred was an actress in the ‘Little Theatre Company’ started in Auburn. “Ruth Thomas and Kenny Franz were featuring in a big play in Holly- wood. Ruth and Ardelle were living there. They had entered this profession and so had Kenny and Dayton. “Nelline was pictured on a stage and was singing wonderfully. Ralph Noel, who had learned the piano, was accompanying her. “I saw a picture of Dorothy Nagle on a large signboard outside of Fort Wayne which advertised her beauty shop, and over the radio came an announce- ment something like this: “Miss Nagle’s Beauty Shop for your hair wash, facials, and marcelling.’ “Listen, I saw Diz Mac and Clark Clement both working in a foreign country. Diz was a missionary in the wilds of Africa and Clark was trying to sell clothing to the people in India. ‘Harry Provines, Bud Gramling, and Chalmer Carper were farming near Auburn. Say, this was the biggest surprise to me in all the pictures that I saw. Frieda Knott was married to Willard Lahnum. Willard owned a vast depart- ment store in Chicago where they were very successful. “Bus Hetrick was a base ball player on the Champion League team.” “Tell me about Ruth Whitten,” Jelly said. “Well, Ruth is to be the greatest woman decorator in the United States. ‘Her work shown in the picture was beautiful. “David Yarian was pictured working over a set of false teeth and some one in a dentist's chair. Over the air came a ring of the telephone, then: ‘Yes, Ruby, I'll ke home as soon as I can plant these teeth in my patient's head. Tell Junior to be good.’ “I saw Merlin Freeman and Naomi Kraft in the same picture. | couldn't get the connection until | listened over the radio. It said that Merlin had taken lessons in vocal and had become quite an artist. Naomi was a great pianist and was accompanying him on his tours. “Think of this, | saw Ed Crutcher, the world’s greatest lawyer. He was pictured in a very difficult case, but it was reported over the '36-ramble- radio that he had never lost a case and this one was very much in his favor. “Willie Dillman had started another implement shop in Auburn and had nearly run Wimer’s out of business. “Edith Reeder was living with her husband in Brown's house on North Main. Her husband was Fred Boyer who was then President of the Auburn Auto Company. “Jane Hubbard was married and lived in a mansion at Grosse Pointe, near Detroit. She looked just like she did in school. Thelma was with her. She also was married and as -eautiful as ever. “You know Mose Long and Judy Duncan were working in the Wrigley’s Gum Factory, and were also on the first National Girls’ Champion Basket Ballitcame Ihinkvot it. “Alta Pomeroy, Mildred Manon, and Alice Barnhart were teaching school in Auburn. They wereall making a great success. “Gertrude Korff was working in some office in the Court House. In the same Court House I saw Bob Little seated in the Judge’s Chair in the Court. “Glenn Grosh and Walter Sibert were working at Ford's factory in Detroit. Walter was the foreman of the office crew and Glenn was boss of the Finishing Department. “Dorothy George was just getting ready for her return to I. U. where she and her husband lived. Dorothy was Dean of the College and her husband, Bob, they called him, though a perfect stranger by face, was a professor. “Ruby Dosch and Milton Clark were married and lived in Arizona on aranch. They were prospering very nicely there together running a fruit ranch. “Nevah Provines lived with her husband and children in Garrett. Bessie Lung was teaching there though it was hard for her because her heart was still with dear old A. H. S. “Dawn Hess and Paul were married and lived in Detroit. Edith Buss was also in the same class but she lived in Chicago. Of course they were both happy; Dawn had two children and Edith one. “Adrian Timbrook and John Burtzner were working in the State Fi- nance Department and Treasury. “Florence Hanson owned a shop in Toledo where she made party favors, place cards, decorations, costumes, etc. Margaret Kessler was with her. “Silberg was the Secretary of Athletics Department which the Legis- Iature ofmtacsWum mlatcely created. “Who else is there in the class | haven't mentioned?’ “You haven't told me anything about Kate,’ Jelly said. “Oh, Kate was married to a beautiful Spaniard whom she met in Ha- waii on her trip around the world in 1934. They were living in the Hawaiian Islands i-levand she were both instructors ina college there. “And Marian Platt.” “To be sure I mustn't forget her. She was no one less than the DeKalb County Superintendent of Schools. A very good one, too.”’ “Did you see anything about us?” she inquired. “That wiil be broadcasted in the next flight in the aeroplane. We shall at that time read this pigerecy and see how much the stars, clouds and heavens really know.” JunionCtass Bottom Row—(from left to right)— Velma Short, Philomene Roth, Geraldine Kraft, Betty Whitten, Miriam Rainier, Carl Walter, Barbara Whitten, Jessie Brandon, Genevieve Clark, Alice Wimer, Bernice Lawson.

The class elected the following officers: Presi- dent, Franklin VanScoik; Vice-President, Estus Baker; Secretary, Virginia Bourns; Treasurer, Miriam Rainier, and Faculty Advisor, Miss Marion Thrush. The social activities of the class were confined to two parties.

Sophs,, As leaders for the year ahead of them they chose Carl Walter, President; Betty Whitten, Vice-President; Barbara Whitten, Secretary; Donald Kuhl- man, Treasurer, and Miss Dorothy Diehl as their Faculty Advisor. The class also contributed to athletics: Betty and Barbara Whitten, Aileen Showers, Carl Walter and Estus Baker receiving their basket ball sweaters. Several of the class also received football letters. The following September found the class enrolled as “upper classmen’’ and though being the smallest class it was also one of the “‘peppiest.’ At the helm were placed Carl Walter, President; Barbara Whitten, Vice-President; Betty Whitten, Secretary; Miriam Rainier, Treasurer, and Mr. Frank Wea- thers, Faculty Advisor. In the first part of the year the class was unfortunate in losing by death Aileen Showers, an active worker in the Junior Class. The class was well represented in all activities and athletics through out the year. Carl Walter, Estus Baker, Kenneth Osbun, and Marion Funk received football letters. In basket ball the same men with the addition of Tom Sprott and Don Kuhlman were on the squad. Sprott and Kuhlman were award- ed the sweaters this year. The class contributed several men to the track and baseball squads. The Junior-Senior Banquet was the only big social function of the year and was a huge success. The Juniors are looking forward to and expecting their Senior year to be the biggest year in the History of the class.

The class election made the following officers: Edward Mayfield, Pres- ident; Gertrude Watson, Vice-President; Erthenia Graham, Secretary; Donald Gregg, Treasurer; and Miss Emma Force, Faculty Advisor. The first social affair of this class was a Hallowe'en Party in the “‘small gym’ at which seventy-five members were in attendance. In its freshman year the class was well represented in all activities and several members received scholarship honors. At the beginning of the second year all came back ready for new duties. The class soon organized, electing: William Husselman, President; Gertrude Watson, Vice-President; Opal Knott, Secretary; and Edward Mayfield, Treas- UL ts Fortnemirst tewsmonths, Mri Ey rit Gunther served as. a very sable Faculty Advisor. When he left school work, Miss Marjorie Middleton guided the class through its difficulties for the rest of the school year. A Christmas party was immensely enjoyed at the Auburn Country Club with nearly all the members present— also some others! Good time? Yes, indeed! This year the class was well represented in athletics. The girls who re- ceived basketball sweaters were: Letha Burtzner, Mary Jo Williams, Vera Morr and Juanita Boren. Erthenia Graham received one last year. The following are the boys who received basket ball awards: Walter Manon, Donald Sprott, Charles Lash, Theron George, and Ralph Bruce.

History of Freshman Class The Freshman class this year was one of the largest ever enrolled in Auburn High School. At its first class meeting the following officers were elected: Edison Daub, President; Marian Crawford, Vice-President; Ramona Heyler, Treas- urer; Darwin Hook, Secretary; and Miss Force, Class Principal. The class was formally welcomed into the school at a reception given by the upper classes ab out three weeks after school started last fall. The reception and attitude of the upper classes made the Freshmen feel that they were received as a part of the school. The new class did well in banking averaging about 98% for the year. Its aim has been to promote each activity of the school. Ramona Heyler, Marian Crawford and Edison Daub are on the Chatterbox staff. Margaret Avery, Helen West, and Ramona Heyler represented the class in the Honor Group. In football, the class was represented by Omar Webb, William Mc- Clure, Vernon Sibert, and Herman Franz. In basketball, Alexander King, Vernon Sibert, Omar Webb, H arvey Sorenson, Marian Grube, Irene Tarney and Ruth Pommert were on the squads. Harry Hathaway, Dayton Rieke, Omar Webb, Alexander King, Paul Grogg, Kenneth Myers and Vernon Sibert took part in track and baseball. The first social affair of the year was a Hallowe'en Party in the old gymnasium. The annual class picnic at the close of the year is held at some lake. Class Officers Hook, Daub, Heyler, Crawford In Prospect In these few preceding pages, we have given, in part, a history of the three lower classes of the school. They have all distinguished themselves by their co-operation with each other and the splendid showing each has made in scholastic and athletic fields. Next year the class of ‘27 will take the dignified position of Seniors. Among their talented members we find Captain Funk, Walter, Sprott, Baker, and Kuhlman starring in basketball. Van Scoik bids fair to go to the state in the oratorical contest next year. The class of ‘28 has in its possession Edward Mayfield, our discussion- ist. Edward will, we hope, win the state contest next year. Manon, Sprott, Bruce, and Lash will probably shine in the brawny arts in 1926-27. The Freshmen have not contributed much this year, but deeds of great magnitude are expected of them next. Sibert and Webb earned their letters in football and basketball and will undoubtedly shine next season. any iy ig at res LOF AT eege , v7, we oe Or Oye. iv, wes kot, ae Yr an aw SS Caw, A te : van Ae esenam Sa wie Sao Activities What would high school life be without those extra-curricular activities which flavor and add zest for the more studious duties?

The bettering of this record assumed an almost appalling magnitude till the staff began its maneuvers. The staff responded nobly to our hopes and as a result we have presented this book to you with the most sincere apologies and we regret our inability to do better. We hope you will pardon us and accept this kook with the same spirit in which it has been created and presented. The staff wishes to thank Mr. Fribley for his excellent advice as our annual advisor, the Auburn Post Card Manufacturing Company for the un- reproachable cooperation in printing this book, Mr. Rice for his admirable photography and his unalloyed interest in our work, and the Fort Wayne Engraving Company for the excellent service rendered and quality secured on the engravings in this book. —Dayton Salon Minor Staff Bottom Row— Grosh, Ensley, May, Clement, Buss, Knott, Ashelman Second Row— Van Scoik, Whitten, Groscop, McBride, Geisinger, Hanson, Faylor, Crutcher Top Row— Hoodelmier, Baker, Franz, Duguid, Walter, Pomeroy.

For some time the subject of having a high school newspaper had suggested itself to the pupils. A date was set with the decision that the high school should have a bi-weekly newspaper, the purpose of which was to create and maintain a lively school spirit, to encourage better scholarship, and to awaken more interest in school activities. A constitution was drawn up, voted on and passed. After this a staff was elected, which started immediately to plan for the first edition. Edwin Rainier was the first Editor and Robert Clark acted as Faculty Advisor. The first edition of the Chatterbox came out in the form of a four-page issue, smaller than the present size of the paper which is 12 1-2 by 19. A review of the file shows a decided improvement each year. The first semester of this year the staff members were: Carol Dawson, Editor-General; Dayton Salon, Editor-in-Chief; Naomi Kraft, Associate Editor; Barbara Whitten, Exchange Editor; Betty Whitten and Donald Kuhlman, Athletic Editors; Kenneth Franz, Jokes; Alice Wimer, Society; Virginia Baker, Junior High; Glenn Grosh, Voca- tional; Harris Berg and Stewart Faulkner, Business Managers and Nelline Faylor and Geraldine Duguid, Circulation Managers. The picture shows the members of the second semester staff. This year there has been published two special issues. The last four issues of the paper were devoted to each of the four classes. The first special issue was devoted to Christmas and was published on green paper. It consisted of jokes, letters, poems on Christmas besides the regular news articles. The second was an anniversary edition containing ex- cerpts from earlier issues and a complete history of the paper. The Chatterbox of Auburn High belongs to the Indiana High School Press Association and the Central Interscholastic Press Association. Franklin Van Scoik represented the paper at the annual meetings held at Franklin, Indiana, and at Madison, Wisconsin.

The purpose of the club is to acquaint its members with various phases of history not studied in class and to study and discuss current events. The club was organized in 1921 by Mr. Weathers and the increasing popularity of it can be best shown by its large membership. When the club was first organized only Juniors and Seniors were eligible but in the past two years Sophomores have been admitted toward the end of the school year. The club met bi-weekly on Wednesday nights and enjoyed varied and interesting programs arranged by committees selected at the first meeting of the year. Several pot luck suppers were enjoyed and wiener roasts were held at various times. Assembly programs were given also. N. Kraft V. Pres., Lahnum Pres., G. Kraft Sec.

It enjoyed more special popularity this season because of the combination of the two divisions. Formerly the members were in two groups—the Freshman-Sopho- more and the Junior-Senior. Since the two have been combined, greater en- thusiasm and energy have been evident, for all have had the opportunity of participating in the numbers given on various occasions during the year. Formerly only the upper-class club was asked to sing when glee club numbers were requested. The variety of Miss Thompson's selection of material has been a strong factor in making the course beneficial as well as popular. A few of the numbers used were Gounod's ‘Sanctus, Tosti's ““Serenade,’’ MacDowell’s “To a Wild Rose,’ Schubert's ““Who Is Sylvia,” and Nevin’s “Mighty Lak’ a Rose.” Miss Thompson's method of directing has been a genuine musical in- spiration to the members of the glee club organization.

Sprott, Husselman, McBride, Berg, Rison, Clement, Roth, Kraft, Little, Miss ‘Thompson Orenestra Under Miss Thompson's direction, the Orchestra has become one of the most popular of the High School organizations. At the first rehearsal in September it was evident that excellent instruction would be available for those who chose to take advantage of it. The following months have more than sat- isfied those expectations. At the various plays and entertainments given by the school during the year the orchestra has generously supplemented the programs. Their selections have been well chosen and well executed—a combination which never fails to render lasting value to both the participants and their audience. It is impossible to estimate the far-reaching influence of an organiza- tion like the High School Orchestra. It is only through such mediums that many students come in contact with the best in musical art. Judging from the rapid strides which the orchestra has made during the past year, it is safe to image a superior musical group for next year. Al- though six members will be lost through graduation, the interest is sufficient- ly keen to warrant the addition of six or more ambitious recruits. The school values immeasurably the work of the orchestra and Miss Thompson, ny. Bottom Row—Lawson, Faylor, Baker, Knott, Willennar, J.

Miss Thompson selected the best material from the Glee Club and produced a winning organization. The music selected was “By the Waters of Minnetonka.” The Chorus gave several practice exhibitions at various club meetings. It finished the year by winning the County Meet over Waterloo and Ashley. The school was award- ed the Brown Trophy Cup for the admirable showing made by the girls. Only five girls are lost this year so the Chorus can look forward to a successful season next year.

Interest on the part of the student body increased with each contest. The school won more events this year than ever even though it usually wins a large share. In the County Regional Meet with Garrett the team captured every event except the piano solo. Ethel Mae Kuhlman was defeated by Robert Brown of Garrett. The other five events were Chorus, Double Quartette, Oration, Reading, and Discussion. In the County Meet, held in Auburn this year, Auburn High School again came out on top having won three firsts and two seconds. Teams from Butler, Ashley, Waterloo, Spencerville, Corunna, and Auburn took part. Pranklin’Van) ocoik, 27. with his oration, The Constitution of the United States, won the oratorical event. Edward Mayfield, '28, far sur- passed his opponents in the discussion contest. The topic this year was “The County as a Unit of School Administration.’ Edward stood opposed to the County Unit plan as such and presented a plan embodying the best points of both the County and Township systems. The Chorus won its event with its selection, “By the Waters of Minne- tonka.’ The Double Quartette was awarded second place. It was composed of Nelline Faylor, Alice Wimer, Bernice Lawson, Mary Brandon, Katrinia Baker, Bertha Walter, Alta Pomeroy and Betty Whitten. Jean Davenport won second place in the Reading contest with The Fall of Georgie Bassett.”’ Prospects for next year are bright. None of the individual contestants graduate and only a few quartette and chorus girls leave.

The equipment is modern and is designed for practical and inter- esting work. The first semester is spent in mechanical drawing and text book work. The class is supplied with blueprints on which the drawings are made. Each student in the class works out a special project. The second semester is spent in bench and lathe work. There are re- quired projects such as a book rack, flower-stand, glove and stocking mender, chisel handle, and egg cup. After this required work is done students may make anything they want. Some of the boys are making bridge-lamps, table- lamps, towel racks, tabourets, and bird houses. The class helps the high school by making benches for dressing rooms, filing cabinets and repairing broken chairs. It helps supply some athletic equipment, trophies, and stage equip- ment. The enrollment has increased during recent years. Top Row— M.

Several projects are worked out during the year. One of the best this year was one which the dietetics class performed at the Harrison School. The children in the building were all weighed. Sixteen were found underweight. For a period of seven weeks the children who were underweight were given milk and graham sandwiches or a total of 310 calories. Good re- sults were obtained; in one case a gain of five pounds was made. Each year money is earned to pay the expenses for those who attend the club roundup at Purdue. Candy was sold at the basketball games, and the District Tournament. Luncheons were served at the Country Club and to the teachers the first semester and the profits went to this fund. A Vocational Club open to all vocational girls was organized the first semester and officers elected as follows: Florence Hanson, President; Anna Mae Endicott, Vice-President; Mabel Bartles, Treasurer; and Vera Harper, Secretary. Parties, pot lucks, suppers, and hikes were held during the year Summer club work is also a part of this department. This is open to girls from the ages of ten to eighteen. Three sewing clubs and one baking club were organized last summer. At the conclusion of the work an exhibit was held at the High School building and a club camp organized at Blackman Lake Top Row— Burtzner, Sibert, Cool, Funk, Carper, Grosh, Clark Third Row— McClure, Berry, Rhoads, Kirg, Peckhart, Hetrick, Lash Second Row— Bartles, Prosser, Rakestraw, Mr. Hornaday, Gramling, Martin, Casselman Bottom Row— Korff, Provines, Kolbe Boys Vocational Department This seventh year of Vocational Agriculture has been completed. The club continued throughout the year obtaining theoretical, scientific and practical information. The four years’ course consists of: Dairying, Poultry and Horticulture the first year; the second year, Animal Husbandry and Soils; the third year, Field Crops and Agricultural Botany; and the fourth year, Agricultural Phys- ics and Farm Management. Many experiments and demonstrations were done by the class during the year. In studying soils, tests were conducted to determine the best fertil- izer for each boy to apply under his particular conditions. In Animal Hus- bandry, different classes of live stock were fed definite rations to prove the value of each. In Farm Management plans showing how the home farm could be improved were made. The department has tested 5,000 ears of seed corn for the farmers. All members of the club participated in some contest. Virgil Korff won first prize at the State Corn Show. As a prize a trip to Washington, D. C., and a scholarship at Purdue were given. The class won the Wherly Cup for having the best corn exhibit in the County Show. Harry Provines received first prize tor Chester White hogs. Fle was given a-trip to Purdue. Milton Clark received second prize on his Spotted Polands and fourth prize in the Potato Club. Robert Clark received first on his Spotted Polands and was given a trip tow urdue. i CRB | PELELILIL: Groscop, Lahnum, Faulkner, Berg, Faylor, Van Scoik, Salon, Roth, Franz, Duguid Adam and Eva “Adam and Eva’ was a bright and amusing play. It portrayed the American business man who has a genius for making money but not a trace of talent for managing his own family. The plot of the play was woven around the rich father who had won his wealth by speculating in the rubber business and whose only use to his family was his ability to write checks. He was dissatisfied with his family so changed places with his business manager who was made head of the house while Mr. King himself went on a business trip. To get the family to take life and money seriously Mr. Smith, their new father, feigned the story of Mr. King’s business failure. Of course they responded and proved themselves real “kings.” Jamessiing varrich ian fe ee ee Harris Berg Corinthia, his parlor maid PR kis a ot On Kathryn Groscop Glinton De Watts his son-in-la wu. oe eee Dayton Salon Julie.

MAUL KENERE A MUSICAL COMEDY Pees Tres BwY zy = CLEE CLUB APRIL 22-23 ADMISSION 25¢ AUDITOR The scenes of Paul Revere are laid in the very heart of the historically famous section of our Country. To the village of Concord comes Paul Revere, a young goldsmith from Boston to visit his father’s friend, Mr. Faxton. Paul meets Molly Faxton and falls in love with her, but she is also sought by Cap- tain Marks of the British Army. The love affair between Molly and Paul progresses to a happy understanding, when their dream is shattered by Cap- tain Marks, who informs Mr. Faxton that Paul is a Patriot. Mr. Faxton is a kings man and orders Paul from the house. Just at this time William Davis comes galloping to Concord to inform Paul that British troops are leaving for Lexington to capture Samuel Adams and John Hancock. He asks Paul to warn the farmers of their approach and Paul complies with his request. Act II is some months later. Paul returns to see Molly. While there he is captured by British forces but escapes through the aid of his sweetheart. Act III is eight years later. Molly has married Captain Marks to save her father from financial ruin. Paul has gone to France because of a forged letter sent to him by Captain Marks saying that Molly no longer cared for him. Paul returns and finds Captain Marks is dead and that Molly is in pov- erty. He buys back the old home, wins Molly and all ends happily. Dorothy Faxton, Mr. Faxton’s second daughter ___.__..

Virgil won a four year Scholarship to Purdue University and a trip to Washington in June, on his corn raising project. Each summer every boy in the Vocational Department works on a special project. Virgil cultivated one acre of corn and secured a yield of 106.7 bushels. He sent a ten ear sample and a story of the management, cost and yield to the State Corn and Potato Show held at Purdue University. Virgil is one of the best Vocational students in the school and he intends to become proficient in all agricultural lines Literary Contestants State and District Edward Mayfield Discussion Edward represented Auburn High School in the State Discussion contest. He proposed a modified type of the county unit for rural school administration, won the county and district meets and received fourth place in the State contest at Bloom- ington. Edward is only a sophomore and will have two more years of training. Franklin VanScoik Oratory Franklin VanScoik won the county oratorical contest with his oration, Wash- imgton andthe Constitution,” He en- tered the district contest at Fort Wayne and took third place. This was Frank- jin selimst -yearee Next time he, hopes to goto the state meet. Banking In past years our school has been highly recommended for the thrift- iness of its students. Each Tuesday the pupils are given an opportunity to bank, the amount they deposit not being stressed as much as their regularity. To stimulate an interest in banking, a contest is staged between the four classes. Each week the percentage of pupils banking in each class is listed and at the end of the semester, the percentages are averaged. The winning class is entertained by the three losing ones. The last entertainment was given for the benefit of the senior class. A playlet, entitled, “Dinner is Served,’ was given by the Sophomores, a baby- show was put on by the Freshmen, and the Juniors gave some vaudeville stunts. All of the thrift entertainments so far have been good. They are an- ticipated with pleasure by the student body as a part of the year’s schedule. The rivalry between the classes brings the desired results: it creates the desire to bank, and the students form the habit of saving. Their minds are kept constantly on the subject by thrift-signs that are posted at various places about the high school emphasizing the importance of saving. The Seniors and Juniors have averaged almost 100% for the year. In the first semester the Seniors banked 99% once and the Juniors two times. In the second semester, each class has made 100% each bank day. Our school has succeeded to the extent that it has been placed on the Honor Roll of the “Thrift Almanac’ as one of the foremost schools in the Uni- ted States having so large a percentage of its students bank every week. Our average ranges from 99% to 100% every month. ie an “64 : ‘ bs KS SS see Bor sraee PERT Satee fk tig, ne aie a Bs ee: ts 4 é SB i$ ea ; Cay ; 9 ce : ae Ht. cist ra Pie 4 : : o ig Aes : Se: Re re i ne .

Also we honor the inter- class and noon league teams which have developed much material for next years squads. Qur Coaches Coach Young Coach Young has been with us two years and it seems that the longer he is with us the -ketter we like him. Coach Young is perhaps the most popular coach ever obtained by Auburn High. He not only knows his ‘stuff’ but he can give it to the men in such a manner that his team can win. Last year Young took the basketball team to the regional but this year we were nosed out by one of the tricks of fate. Coach Young will be back again next year and we expect him to put Auburn on the map athletically. Miss Eagles Miss Eagles, or rather Jane, has been back with us this year. She coached here two years ago but went to Columbia University last year. We hope she will be with the school for years to come. The fact that the girls’ basketball team is one of the claimants for the state title is the best way of saying what Miss Eagles has accomplished. In the two games with Peru, state champions, the team won the first at Auburn and lost the second at Peru. The team under her able direction has played winning basket- ball and if the past year's work is a cri- terion Auburn will have a champion team next year. Student Manager Harris Berg Harris handled the student management of the teams this year in a very capable manner. He acted as official score-keeper in all contests and managed the financial side of all the trips. He was taken with the team to the State Basketball Tourn- ament. Yell-Leaders Kenneth Franz When the athletic year began we became worried about a successor to “Shinney’’ as yell- leader. “Kenny’ stepped up and showed us that he was as good as his brother. We regret that this is his last year. Dayton Salon For the first time the school had two yell- leaders. As “Kenny's” co-worker the student body selected his buddy, Dayton Salon. These two gave the team some real support and before the end of the season had the entire town yelling. Boys Team Captain Marion Funk, “Funk” Funk led the team to its many victories this past season. He is a man that can be put either at back guard or center and fill his position well. Next years team will probably be led by him. Lloyd Hoodelmier, Hoody” This is Hoody’s second and last year on the varsity. The success of the team this year was his accurate shooting and fight. Harold Snyder, Snip’ Snip is the speed demon of this year’s team. The fast work of Snip and Hoody will be missed by all the A. H. S. fans and school. They have worked together for the last two seasons on the varsity. Carl Walter, “Cal” This is Cal's second year on the team. He will be with us next year to hold down the floor guard position. Cal is considered the fastest dribbler and floor man in this section. Bus Hetrick, “Bus” Bus has played the back guard position this year with wonderful skill and lots of fight. Bus was out of seven games because of sickness. We feel that it lost us several tight contests. eee Boys Team Edward Crutcher, “Ed” Fd never quit trying. He fought every min- ute while playing. Ed was handicapped by having a bad knee. You could put Ed in any position on the team and have it well taken care of. (ihomasesprote.. Corn Tom was our center when Funk played guard. We expect a good deal out of Sprott next year as our regular center. Estus Baker. Estie This is Baker's second year on the squad. He is one of the big hopes at forward for next season. Estie is very small but makes it up in speed. Merlin Freeman, “Freeman” Whenever we needed a dependable manto put in at back guard, we could always depend on Free- man. This was Freeman's first year on the squad. Donald Kuhlman, “Don” This was Don's first year on the squad. Don should make a good team mate with Baker next year. Summary of Season The first game of Auburn's 1925-26 basket ball season was with Water- loo at Auburn. The Auburn boys were too fast for their opponents and easily ran up a large score, using all ten men. Score: W. H. S. 18, Auburn 68. The next encounter was with Butler. This was another one-sided affair with an easy victory for Auburn. Score: 36—7. The following Friday the team played Butler at Butler. Auburn won by still another one-sided score. Score: 35—7. The fourth game Auburn beat Albion by fast floor work. This game was Auburn's closest scrimmage up to date. A. H. S. 34, Albion 20. On December 4 Auburn took Decatur into camp. A. H. S. 45, D. H. Sees. The sixth game was played at Fort Wayne against South Side. The outstanding feature of this game was the fast foot and floor work of the team. Score: Auburn 30, South Side 18. On December !1 Auburn clashed with the old rival, Angola. No other Auburn Team has ever defeated Angola by so great a margin. Score: Auburn 38, Angola 19. Garrett stopped Auburn's winning streak in one of the most thrilling games of the year. The Auburn team was too light to withstand the onslaught of Garrett on their small floor. Score: Auburn 20, Garrett 23. Auburn defeated Decatur at Decatur 40 to 21. Auburn lost to Kendallville on January 15. Kendallville was the first team to beat Auburn in the new Alumni Gymnasium. Score: Auburn 20, Kendallville 28. This was the first season Wawaka has played Auburn. Wawaka was one of the strong teams at the regional last year. This game took the place of the Fremont game. Score: Auburn 37, Wawaka 31. Auburn met Bluffton next. Score: Auburn 39, Bluffton 28. Albion again met defeat on January 23rd — this time on her own floor. Although Albion was ahead during most of the game, the Auburn boys came in strong at the finish and won 36 to 22. Auburn was defeated by Central of Fort Wayne. Central won their Regional and went to the State this year. There they beat Franklin. Auburn's future looks bright. Score: Auburn 27, Central 30. The night following the game with Central Auburn went to Elkhart. Hetrick was out of both these last two games. Score at Elkhart: Auburn 24, Plkharte27: The game of February 11 at Angola was won by one point. Score: Auburn 32, Angola 31. The following night Auburn repaid a football debt to Columbia City. Auburn won. Incidentally, Columbia City defeated Angola in the Regional meet at Fort Wayne this year. Another similar debt to Garrett was settled without a ripple. Two officials kept the teams in check to prevent the traditional roughness. Auburn 24, Garrett 14. Kendallville on her own floor accepted a defeat at Auburn's hands on February 25. Score: Auburn 28, Kendallville 25. Auburn was defeated the following night at Bluffton in the final game of the season. The men were in bad condition on account of injuries and hard game with Kendallville the night before. The second team played most of the game. Auburn 21, Bluffton 41.

Auburn's game with Garrett in the afternoon was the hardest fought game ever played in the New Gymnasi- um. Asa result, the team fell an easy prey for the Angola boys. The biggest crowd ever housed at a tourney in this section saw the game. County Tournament The County Tourney was won by Auburn. This was played at Ashley, January 29 and 30. Final game: Auburn 30, Garrett 25. Thus another fine banner was added to our collection on the walls of the Alumni G ymnasium. Girls Team Naomi Kraft, Kraft,’ Captain, Guard A. H. S. bids farewell to Kraft this year. She holds the honor of being the only girl who has played on the team all four years. Mozelle Long, Mose, Forward This is the second and last year for Moze on the team. She made 284 out of 724 points which proves she surely knows how to hit the basket. Betty Whitten, “Betty,” Forward Betty is the team mate to Moze. She played twelve out of fourteen games, but look at her score! as EO ae Barbara Whitten, “Barb, Forward These twins are a puzzle when they get on the floor. Barb has played two years and has proved herself capable of filling her position. Julia Duncan, “Judy,” J. Center Judy has fought for A. H. S. two years. She has a monopoly on the long reach that has surprised many rival players. Girls Team Kathryn: Groscep, Kate, S. Center Kate played this year for her first as well as last season on the varsity. To express her ability for her position we will call her “lightning.” Mary Jo Williams, “Jo,’’ Guard These Sophomores are about to make up the whole team. Jo holds the position of guard and she certainly can intercept passes. Erthenia Graham, “Tiny, Guard Tiny is another one of our Sophomores. She has been on the team two years and with her fight will pep up the team for two more years. Beware of Tiny! VerasMorrm Reds, J. Genter We are looking forward to Red for a big game next year. This is her first year on the team but she has two more ahead of her. icthesburtznems buriznen “oS. Center Burtzner has played in several positions. She is quick and knows her ‘'stuff.” This is her first year on the team. Summary of Season The Auburn girls hold an enviable record for this year. Peru, claimants of State title, afforded them about the stiffest opposition. When Peru came here Auburn lacked but one point to have doubled the score but the last game of the season, our return game there, resulted in Auburn's only defeat out of fourteen games played. As a result of such a successful season Auburn girls had the privilege of claiming the State Championship. Kraft, '26, Graham, '28, Williams, 28, guards, were great strongholds for A. H. S. this year. Many of the opponents’ shots for the net were blocked because of their close guarding and swift passes. Boren, '28, also gave her service as a credit to the team. Duncan, ‘26, Groscop, '26, Morr, ‘28, Burtzner, 28, Centers, developed pretty pass work from center to forwards. Watson, 28, played an excellent game. Mozelle Long, ‘26, Barbara and Betty Whitten, 27,as forwards have undoubtedly made the best scoring record of any team thus far in A. H. S. This year we lose four of our first team players by graduation: Kraft, captain and guard; Duncan, center; Long, forward; and Groscop, side center. For the season of 1926-27 we have other players developed to fill the vacant positions. Next year promises a successful team. A. H. S. Athletic Association awarded honor sweaters to Julia Duncan, Kate Groscop, Vera Morr, Mary Jo Williams, Letha Burtzner, and Juanita Boren for their taking part in athletic activities. Naomi Kraft, Betty and Barbara Whitten, Mozelle Long, and Erthenia Graham received sweaters in previous years. Great interest was shown by the fans this season.

Aes ‘Kuhlman The Football Season The fourth season, since the revival of Football in Auburn High School, passed with no spectacular happenings. Since the revival of Football, Auburn has been handicapped by the lack of material and equipment. But this year we had all the equipment necessary and enough material to form a second squad with the result that the team got much more practice. This helped put the old scrap in the team and you could hear some of the old timers, who were champions of the State in ‘06. say, “It’s beginning to look better... We hope that some day Auburn may again be champion of the State. The first game was played with Decatur on a hot sultry day with a muddy field. It was an exceptionally good game ending in a tie score of 6—O. The next game was played at home with Columbia City as our oppo- nents. Due to fumbles and inexperience Auburn lost the game by a score of 2-0: The third game, played with Kendallville, was fast and much scoring was done by both sides. Featuring the game was a ninety yard run by Sibert, and two fifty yard runs by Snyder, Auburn's star half backs. The game was won by Kendallville by a long forward pass in the last thirty seconds. Score: 22—18. The fourth game was with Central High School of Fort Wayne. The field was muddy which gave Auburn the advantage. The half ended 6—6 but Central came back strong for the second half and easily won by a score of 25—6. The last game of the season was with our old rivals Garrett. It was close and well played considering the rain and muddy field. Neither side could advance the ball farther than the center of the field until Auburn lost three players via the injury route and then Garrett had little trouble in scoring. Fumbles and injuries lost the game for Auburn. Score: 12—0.

Many turned out and after each had been given a trial Auburn was ready for her first game with a line-up composed of many of the previous year’s players. The battery was Hoodelmier, catcher, and Wiseman, pitcher. Faulkner played at first base, Crutcher, second, Silberg, shortstop, Funk, third base and Hetrick, Welch, Stewart, Burtzner and Wise the outfield to back them. A substitute battery composed of Crutcher and Welch was used in nearly half of the games. The first game was played with Corunna. It was easily won by Auburn. The score: Auburn 25, Corunna 2. The second game was a reversal of the first, being won by South Side on her home grounds by the lop-sided score of 14—3. Auburn lost the third game to Garrett at Garrett in a closely olayed game. Few errors were made and every run was earned. Score: 3—0. Angola was the next victim falling by the score of 5—2. Sanders starred for Angola with two double plays unassisted. In the return game played at Angola, we were badly handicapped by injuries and were forced to use a badly crippled line-up but the game was well played and it took ten innings to decide it. Angola scored the winning run on an error. Score: 9—8. In the last game of the season Garrett, our old rivals, were defeated by the score of 8—2. Coach Young, Baker, Lash, Snyder, Yarian, Lahnum, Funk, Hoodelmier, Frederick, Hetrick The Track Team Snyder— hundred yard dash, 220 yard dash, 220 yard low hurdles, relay, and broad jump Frederick— quarter mile, 120 yard high hurdles, broad jump, half mile relay, and 220 yard low hurdles Lahnum— mile run and mile relay Yarian— half mile run and mile relay Hetrick— mile run, shot put and mile relay Hoodelmier— quarter mile, hundred yard dash, half mile relay and mile relay Baker— quarter mile, hundred yard dash, half mile relay Funk— shot put, high jump, 220 yard low hurdles, 120 yard high hurdles, and broad jump Wiseman— Half mile run, mile relay Simons— High jump, pole vault, 120 yard high hurdles, and mile relay Whine THraveln Serekxoya The first meet of the season was with the Alumni. It proved to be little more than good practice for the High School squad. Nearly all the firsts were won by the High School. We scored seventy-four points to the Alumni s twenty- two. The quadrangular meet which was held at Fort Wayne was won by Port- land. Teams competing were Portland, Central of Fort Wayne, Decatur and Auburn. The teams placed in the order mentioned. The triangular meet held with Kendallville and Angola was easily won. Auburn scored in nearly every event. The total score stood: Auburn forty- three, Kendallville twenty-nine, and Angola twenty-seven. Columbia City won the next meet by a few points. The meet was a fast one and was decided by the last event, the shot put, in which Columbia City took first and second. The county track meet was won by Auburn by a large majority. Garrett was the only other competitor who showed any rivalry. The district meet was won by Central of Fort Wayne. Auburn was nosed out of second place by Columbia City. Snyder was high point man of the meet by winning first in the hundred yard dash, 220 yard dash and 220 yard low hurdles. This qualified him for the State meet. Frederick also won the right to go to the State meet by taking second in the quarter mile run. Frederick journeyed to the State meet but was unable to place. Snyder did not go. Back Row— Coach Young, Lash, Terry, Sibert, George, Sorenson Second Row— Manon, Webb, King, Kruse, Bruce Sitting— Sprott Second Team An important factor in building strong varsity teams for the future is the promoting of the second team. The younger members of the basket ball squad receive in this manner experience of highest value. The Second Team this year was better than that of previous years. It won all but three games on its schedule. South Side defeated it by one point. Spencerville First Team and Angola Seconds defeated it in one game each. In return Auburn Seconds defeated Angola Seconds on their own floor and doubled the score on Spencerville Firsts. The schedule was longer and harder than in previous years. A game a week was played during the season. The schedule was arranged independent of the varsity s program. Teams met were Angola, South Side, Garrett, Butler, Waterloo, Ashley, Hamilton, Spencerville Firsts, and Avilla Firsts. Mr. Sanders and Garth Silberg assisted Coach Young in training the Second Team. WNECROLOSS Interclass games were played at noons alternating with the noon hour league. Noon hour league games were held on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wed- nesdays while interclass was played on Thursdays and Fridays. There was much rivalry between the classes and every game was con- tested from start to finish. The losing team would never admit it was beaten until the final whistle sounded. The Seniors won the season's honors but had a great amount of trouble in proving to the underclassmen that they were superior to them. The inter- class championship was not decided until in the final game when the Juniors lost to the Sophomores by a few points. Had the Juniors won they would have tied the Seniors and a post season game would have been necessary to decide the championship. The Seniors used several combinations during the year but the one which proved most successful was composed of Burtzner, K. Franz, Silberg, Little, Noel, and Salon. The Juniors took second place and were in the running through-out the season. Their team was composed of Berg, Walter, Rakestraw, Grogg and Holloway. The Freshmen took third honors leaving the Sophomores in last place. Senior Team Little, Noel, Burtzner, Franz, Salon, Faulkner Noon Hour League The noon hour basket ball league was organized for the benefit of the fellow who was interested in the game but who did not have the opportunity of playing on the regular squad. All the boys not eligible and those not making the regular squad were allowed to take part in these games. This plan helped to add interest to the sport a nd it refutes the old argument that basket ball is a game for the few. This year more interest was shown than last year. A large number of boys reported to play in these games. They were divided into teams of equal ability and each team named by letter. The competition was keen but team 'F’’ seemed to hold the advantage through-out the year. It played a winning game. Its members formed their combination around Burtzner who was high point man of the league and starred in nearly every game. Second place was won by team ““B” who was beaten out of the champ- ionship by the last game of the season. Teams ‘F and ‘'B” met in the last game of the year. Team “'F” was leading the league by a four point margin but to gain the championship the last game must not be lost. The game was well played and proved exciting through-out the entire contest. It ended with a tie score of 20-20 which meant that team “'F”’ retained its four point margin and the championship. The teams as they were organized and their total score are as follows: Team “A”: Salon, Faylor, Yarian, Cripe, Korff. and Timbrook. Score 138. Team “B’: Roth, Edward Grogg, Gregg, Souder, Clark, Rakestraw, and Noel. Score 179. Team: D=: Little, Kénneth ranz, Herman Franz. Gramling, and Reynolds. Score 142.
