Our beacon light in compiling this book has been that fact. We have en- deavored to record the school year as it will seem to us later, trying to add the element of Time to make this Annual an outline to which your memories shall be a supplement. Then, if our judg- ment has not grossly failed, the two together shall comprise a priceless source of pleasure. [3] - -- 1 Dedication The first day in high school was an especially pleasant one for the Class of 1928 because of the friendship and genial personality of Mr. Fribley. In reminiscing, we find that he has remained likable and helpful to us every day during the past four years, and we believe this attitude has been spontaneous, not prompted by his duties as Principal. We know that the class is better for having had his con- stant interest and we therefore dedicate to Mr. Fribley this book, The Follies of 1928. [4] Earl F.

ApninDT Jorl ' ■. i ' if ■ Administration From the beginning of our high school trip, the responsibility for our success has been largely left with the Administration. Faculty members tvere required only to in- struct us, but they have done not just the essential but whatever tended to make school pleasant for us. Their indispensability is plain if we consider that a mem- ber of the Administration super- vises every extra-curricular activ- ity. It is hard to distinguish be- tween the essential and the extra services as long as we are accus- tomed to both, but if the voluntary assistance of the Administration should cease, school would be a long, unpleasant trip. [13] School Board H. L. Brown All students know Mr. Brown and are glad they do. He always bocsts the Auburn High activities in every way. Through his dependable judgment the school has gained much. Willis Rhoads Mr. Rhoads wins many friends through his liking for the High School boys and girls. Although this is but Mr. Rhoads ' s second year on the School Board he has done much to- ward furthering high school interests. H. W. Timbrook Another of the High School ' s able directors is Mr. Timbrook. Whenever there is any need for help he is always ready to offer his. Students especially know him for the friendly smile with w hich he greets everyone. [14] Faculty H. L. McKenney, B. S., A. B. Superintendent Valparaiso University Wisconsin University Indiana University University of Chicago University of Cincinnati Mr. McKenney ' s efficiency and unfailing interest have made the school a success in all lines of endeav- or. To him we owe the splendid ac- complishments of the year and the co-operation between the departments of school work. Julia M. Duncan Clerk Everybody knows Judy as the pleasant girl who comes to call fortu- nate pupils from their classes to the telephone. It is she who copies the grades and keeps the books; she per- forms the duties of clerk very well. E. F. Fribley, A. B., A. M. Principal DePauw University Columbia University Under Mr. Fribley ' s supervision Auburn High has attained a high rank in all activities. Mr. Fribley is interested in all of the phases of school life and is always ready to give aid and advice whenever needed. His help was invaluable as advisor for The Follies. [15] History Frank W. Weathers, A. B. DePauw University Muncie Normal University of Chicago Mr. Weathers has done much for Auburn High. He has organized and spcnsored the History Club and was faculty advisor for the Seniors. He is a very good history and economics teacher but his failing is pop quiz- zes . Ruth Anne Foulke, A. B. Earlham College University of Chicago Miss Foulke is very good to have for a friend as well as for a teacher. She is very well liked. She teach- es Sophomore history, business Eng- lish, commercial arithmetic, and typ- ing, and does each very well. uA M at hematics Donald Coar, A. B. Indiana University Besides giving instructions in arithmetic, solid geometry and ad- vanced algebra, Mr. Coar helped to coach the boys ' basketball team. He is a good sport and full of pep and loyalty. [16] English Gladys Duguid, A. B. Indiana University Michigan University Columbia University Besides teaching English, Miss Duguid has succeeded in making her French classes a great success. She conducts them in a practical way which gives the students knowledge of French accent and idioms. Carol Dawson Tri State College Indiana University University of Chicago As school librarian Miss Dawson merits a great deal of credit. This is the first year that there has been a regular librarian. Her Junior and Senior English classes are very inter- esting, and give the students a very good knowledge of literature and the foundations of culture. Sue Morton, A. B. DePauw University University of Wisconsin The success of the Junior-Senior play last fall was due mainly to Miss Morton ' s remarkable coaching. She also has been in charge of the Chat- terbox, and has maintained a high standard for the school publication. Her public speaking classes are very interesting. [17] 1926 Vocational Charles G. Hornaday, B. S. A. Purdue University Mr. Hornaday ' s boys usually win prizes for their work in agriculture. This reflects their instruction. He is always interested in anything that will promote the good standing of the school, and is well liked for his loyal spirit. Maryl Smith, B. S. Purdue University Indiana University Miss Smith is an authority on dressmaking and style, and this ac- counts for the success of her sewing girls, several of whom have won prizes. The record of her summer club work is very commendable. Valda Eichholtz, B. S. Winona Summer School Columbia University Purdue University Indiana State Normal, Terre Haute The cooking department has clone very good work under Miss Eich- holtz, and she has been instrumental in serving hot lunches every noon. Let those who partook of them attest to their flavor! Her classes have made excellent progress. [IS] Commercial Clyde M. Gumpp Manchester College Indiana University Drake University Indiana State Normal, Muncie Mr. Gumpp ' s typing classes are known for their speed and accuracy; his shorthand students for translating their notes with the greatest ease. He has produced some good commer- cial workers in his two years here. Science Gladys Brackmier, A. B. Indiana University This is Miss Brackmier ' s year here. We hope first here. We hope it is not her last for she has done very good work in her botany classes. The work is made very interesting, and the pupils like the study and its teacher. Robert S. Schooley, A. B. Indiana State Normal University of Marseilles, Mar- seilles, France Indiana University As science teacher Mr. Schooley can ' t be surpassed. Moreover, he has a very agreeable disposition which has won him many friends in high school. The moving picture machine adds interest to his instruction. [19] Latin Maude S. Armstrong Michigan State Normal Syracuse University University of Chicago Miss Armstrong surely knows how to teach Latin to the underclass- men, and those who go on with a third or fourth year of Latin are deeply ap- preciative of her intimate knowledge of it and of her skillful and interest- ing ways of presenting it to the stu- dent. Manual ' Training Isaac Cosper Tri State College Purdue University Wisconsin University Mr. Cosper very capably furnish- es instruction in manual training, and his work is increasing in quality and quantity all the time. A new ad- dition to the Wood Shop has given more room for this department. Art Lydia Sellers Teachers ' College, Indianapolis Applied Art School, Chicago Butler University Miss Sellers ' s competent instruc- tion in art work is shown in the posters her class makes for the plays and operettas. Her advice on color schemes and costumes is always ea- gerly sought and followed. Her pleas- ing personality makes everyone her friend. [20] Physical Education Cecil Young, A. B. DePamu University University of Illinois University of Michigan Zeke has succeeded in making- very good teams for Auburn High. He is known for his pep and enthu- siasm when any activities are concern- ed in which A. H. S. features. We were fortunate in keeping such a good coach this year. Thelma Burkhead Tri State College Indiana University Indiana State Normal, Mnncie Miss Burkhead has coached the girls ' team through a very successful basketball season. She entered into all the activities of the school and has helped in making Mcintosh High known. She is liked by everyone. Mil SIC Margaret Hixon Indiana University Northwestern University Miss Hixon was new to the school this year but she certainly has put life into the music department. The oper- etta Peggy and the Pirate was a big undertaking and she handled it very well. The programs put on by the glee club and orchestra were always artistic and thoroughly enjoyed. [21] Summary of Administration Though the pupils are the largest element in school life, Auburn High would be a very poor school were it not for the constant interest and faithful administration of the school board and faculty. For this the Administration deserves our enduring regard and respect. There were several changes in the faculty in the past year. Miss Valda Bichholtz took the place of Miss Naomi Christen as teacher of do- mestic science. When the students returned to school last fall they found that Mr. Donald Coar was filling the place of Mr. Sanders, former mathematics teacher, and was ready to drill into their heads various and sundry information about the unknown quantity. Miss Sue Mor- ton taught Sophomore English this year instead of Miss Middleton. Besides being director of the Junior-Senior play and coaching the Inter- scholastic contestants Miss Morton supervised the Chatterbox as its Edi- tor-general. The success of the girls ' basketball team this year has been due to Miss Burkhead, who filled Miss Jane Eagles ' place. Mrs. Wolfrom, who was our music instructor last year, was supplanted by Miss Margaret Hixon whose programs were always enjoyed. Aside from these changes, the personnel of the faculty has remained the same. Charge of the school library was given to Miss Dawson, and un- der her management it has been put in order, additions have been made, and great improvement made generally. Mr. Weathers, as sponsor of the History Club, devoted much time and work to its direction, thus insuring its success. Under Mr. Hornaday ' s training several of his pupils attained very high standing in vocational work. Miss Foulke and Mr. Gumpp have promoted the commercial work and produced some very good office workers. Miss Eichholtz, though this was her first year in Auburn High, accomplished much in home economics work. The last semester her class in cooking served hot lunches, consisting of one savory, digestible dish. This was very good and convenient for the students who came from the country. Similiar work was done by Miss Smith ' s class during the first semester. A new addition to the wood-shop was built, giving Mr. Cosper more room for his work in Manual Training. The school board and the faculty, including the superintendent, the principal, clerk, and the eighteen instructors, have been most effi- cient and have aided the students in their quest for education. They made this a banner year for Auburn High School. [22] Classes Our trip through high school years has been eventful because of those who took part. At the take- off for the flight only one group of adventurers was included, the Seniors. They did not lose cour- age, but stayed throughout the voyage and are consequently wiser and more experienced than when they started. Another class joined the flight later, and so we have the Juniors. Not until the journey was half completed did the Sopho- mores and Freshmen come aboard with the rest, and hence they have much to learn. On the following pages we shall tell more about those we have mentioned above. [23] Class Presidents Edward K. Mayfleld He from whose lips divine persuasion flows. A. H. S. 1, 2, :S, 4. A.

They realized the necessity of able leaders so they chose Edward Mayfield ' s plane to lead them with Peg Watson, Erthenia Graham and Donald Gregg to help finance the trip and to see that no accidents occurred. Miss Force was chosen faculty advisor to help each pilot learn to sail his plane successfully. The Mayfield plane was forced to order a stop once during the year when they landed in the High School Gymnasium where a Hallowe ' en party was held. They took flight from this place and sailed to Hamil- ton Lake where they finished their first year ' s journey with a picnic. During this time several members of the class showed their ability in piloting their machines. Walter Manon and Erthenia Graham took an active part in basketball, Charles Lash displayed his ability on the gridiron and Edward Mayfield represented the school in the discussion contest, by going to the district meet. After vacation the class re-assembled and elected William Hus- selman to lead this part of the journey. Opal Knott, Peg Watson, and Edward Mayfield were chosen to assist him. Mr. Gunther as faculty advisor served the class loyally until his resignation just before vaca- tion, when Miss Marjorie Middleton took up his duties. A very suc- cessful Christmas party was held at the country club at the end of the year. The members of the class, becoming more efficient in their work, received more horors than they had the year before. Juanita Boren, Letha Burtzner, Vera Morr, Mary Jo Williams, Ralph Bruce, Charles Lash, Donald Sprott and Theron George took active parts in basketball and other athletic events. Edward Mayfield received higher awards in the discussion this year, taking third place in the state meet at Bloom- ington. At the end of the second year ' s journey many inefficient pilots had lost out but the truly ambitious and those striving to reach that goal called Success, managed to keep their planes flying. The crew elected Edward Mayfield President, Theron George Vice President, Mary Brandon secretary and William Husselman Treasurer with Dewey Sanders to accompany them as class advisor. Under this leader- ship and supervision a Junior Carnival was held on Hallowe ' en. At the beginning of the fourth year ' s journey they started with greater speed for they could see their final landing place, Graduation, a nine-months journey ahead of them. The indispensable Edward May- field was again elected President with Donald Sprott as his assistant. Jean Davenport was elected secretary and William Husselman had charge of the financial affairs of the class. Mr. Weathers was made class advisor to help make the last trip through high school a success Members of this year ' s class participated in almost every outside acti- vity. The Seniors have now reached their last stopping off place. Grad- uation. They have received their diplomas and as efficient pilots will start next year on their own planes to Success. [-10] Senior Class Activities Not only have the members of the class of ' 2 8 piloted their ma- chines well enough to reach graduation, but they have excelled in all phases of athletics and other extra-curricular activities as well. Letha Burtzner, Juanita Boren, Mary Jo Williams, Mary Joe Hoff and Vera Morr have become valuable assets in girls ' basketball this year. Letha has alternated from forward to side center and helped to make many a game a winner for Auburn High. Juanita and Vera were our centers and one should see them pass that ball! Mary Jo Williams and Mary Joe Hoff were the guards and surely played a wonderful game. The boys were strong on the basketball flcor this year as there were five of the class of ' 28 on the squad. Walter Manon, Donald Sprott, Charles Lash, Ralph Bruce and Robert Darling all had a chance to show that the team really could never have succeeded without them. On the football squad Walter Manon, Charles Lash, Ralph Bruce and Robert Darling have showed such proficiency in their playing that their places will be hard to fill. Donald Martin, Virgil Korff, and Thelma Grosh have won awards in vocational work. In the discussion Edward Mayfield placed third in the zone meet at Bloomington in 1925. In 1926 he took fourth in the state con- test in oration. Martha Laird and Alice Willennar represented this class in the reading last year. In the double quartet which won first place in the county musi- cal contest in 192 6, Opal Knott, Bertha Walter and Mary Brandon sang. This year Dorothy Groscop is entered with this group. On the Chatterbox staff Edward Kingsbury, Opal Knott, Jean Davenport, Violet May, Alice Willennar, William Husselman and Mar- tha Laird have helped to make the paper a success. In the school plays, Robert Darling carried the leading role this year. Edward Mayfield, Edward Kingsbury, William Husselman, Opal Knott, Mary Brandon and Jean Davenport carried parts in the Junior-Senior Plays. In the high school operettas, Jean Davenport, Opal Knott, Mary Brandon and Bertha Walter played leading roles in Pickles and Peggy and the Pirate. Jack Gregg, Donald Sprott and Gilbert Potter carried the leading parts in the operetta this year. As honor students Jean Davenport, Mildred Berringer, Grace Barnhart and Joanna Rhoads have ranked especially high scholasti- cally. The success of its members in all of these outside activities gives the class of ' 28 a right to be proud of its record. [41] Junior Class Bottom Rom—M. Sprott, Heyler, D. Rieke, W.

Miller Class Officers It was largely due to the ability of these sixteen students that the planes of Auburn High School flew to such heights this year. Ed- ward Mayfield, for the third time during his high school career, was elected to the presidency of his class. He was ably assisted by Donald Sprott, Jean Davenport and William Husselman. To Mr. Weathers, acting as class advisor, is attributed much credit for the success of the Seniors ' last year in high school. The Juniors elected Dayton Rieke to pilot them through their first year as upper-classmen. Marie Sprott was elected Vice President, Ramona Heyler, Secretary, and William McClure, Treasurer. Mr. Coar acted as class advisor and through his guidance they passed through their Junior year, successfully conducting a Junior carnival and a Junior-Senior banquet. The Sophomore planes were led this year by Marion Trovinger. His assistants were Virginia Baker, Randall Smith, and Joanna Fink. Miss Foulke was chosen as class advisor. After this second year in high school we feel that next year they will be able to carry on the duties of upper-classmen successfully. The class of ' 31 made its first appearance in high school this year. Joe Miller was elected to pilot the class with Helen Mayfield, Robert Knott and Virginia Brown to aid him. Under the supervision of Miss Hixon the first year ended successfully. [45] History of Classes After eight years of preparation the class of ' 29 started its ca- reer under the leadership of Ed ison Daub. Marian Crawford, Darwin Hook and Ramona Heyler were elected to assist and did very well for just learning how to pilot their planes. Knowing that they would need an able advisor, the Freshies chose Miss Force to help them with their new duties. During this year they held a successful Hallowe ' en party in the high school gymnasium. They braved all the storms of the first year ' s journey and celebrated their success with a picnic at Hamil- ton Lake. The class soon made itself known in the athletic field as it was well represented by Omar Webb, Alex King, Vernon Sibert, Her- man Franz, Harvey Soerensen, Marion Grube, Irene Tarney. Ruth Pommert. Harry Hathaway, Dayton Rieke, Paul Grogg and Kenneth Myers, who took an active part in all events. After the first nine months of flying they decided to make a landing and rest for a few weeks. After this rest, which lasted until the following September, they again entered the flying field as Sophomores. They elected Justin Roth President, Gwendolyn Rogers Vice President, Richard Madden Secretary, Anna May Endicott Treasurer and Coach Young was chosen as class sponsor. The first Hallowe ' en party was such a successful affair that they decided to give another, which was equally as success- ful. The class was represented in music as well as athletics. Gwendo- lyn Rogers was a member of the double quartet which took first in the county meet. Many of their number were members of the winning contest chorus and took part in the operetta. The year before this crew had sighted three groups of planes ahead of them. Already one of these had dropped out of sight leaving but two ahead of them while the class of ' 29 was gradually coming nearer its goal. On looking back they saw that other planes were entering the field. They traveled with such speed that the crew of ' 29 realized that they would have to speed up or soon be overtaken. These new planes which were now entering the field were known as the class of ' 30. They elected Marion Trovinger to pilot them under the supervision of Miss Jane Eagles. Barbara Sanders, Jewell Darling and Lester See were chosen to assist them and did very well. They made their first landing in the high school gymnasium for a Hallowe ' en party. Lester See, Randall Smith, Harold Davidson, George Stebing, Helen Snyder, Marium Weidner and Hilda Harris went to work on the basketball floor immediately. Football, track and baseball had their share of representatives from the class of ' 30 also. [46] The success of the first year in high school was celebrated by a picnic at Hamilton Lake. The second year ' s flight was not as eventful as the first, but nevertheless the class was busy. Marion Trovinger, again elected pilot, flew the machines of the Sophomores through another successful year. His assisting officers were Virginia Baker, Vice President, Joanna Fink, Secretary, and Randall Smith, Treasurer. Miss Foulke was chosen to advise them. The class was known by its exceptional ability on the basketball floor in both the first and second teams. They were well represented by Harold Davidson, Fred Quance, George Stebing, Kurt Rastenburg, Lester See, Randall Smith, John Smith, Robert Thimlar, Richard Davidson, James Balzar, Homer Freeman, Dale Cosper, Vir- ginia Baker, Ruth Bartles, Hilda Harris and Barbara Sanders. By this time other planes could be seen entering the field. These belonged to the class of ' 31. Joe Miller was elected to pilot them and Miss Margaret Hixon was chosen as class advisor to guide them through their first year in high school. Helen Mayfield was elected Vice Presi- dent, Robert Knott Treasure r and Virginia Brown Secretary. Auburn High School soon found that their class of Freshmen was eager to make itself known. Ellen Jeanette Walter, Thelma Mock, James Huffman and Edward Welch became valuable assets to the basketball teams. Virginia Brown showed her ability in music and became a member of the girls ' double quartet, while many others could be found in the cast of the operetta, Peggy and the Pirate. They never stopped during their first year until they celebrated success by an outing at Hamilton Lake the last day of school. They will not take flight until next September. In the meantime the class of ' 2 9 was reaching its third landing place. As they expected to accomplish great things this year they elect- ed Dayton Rieke to pilot them. Marie Sprott aided him as Vice Presi- dent with Ramona Heyler acting as Secretary while William McClure took care of the finances of this trip. Mr. Coar, as class advisor, led them very ably through the many difficulties of the Junior year. Under such good supervision a very successful Junior carnival and Junior- Senior banquet were held. The members were still doing their best for the high school knowing that there was only one more year left. Dayton Rieke, Margaret Dawson and Margaret Avery represented their class in basketball. Other members of their ranks could be found in the Glee Club and operetta. The class has now arrived at the landing field where they will rest until next September when they will start on their last journey through high school. The classes of ' 30 and ' 31 are still striving to- ward graduation and in a few years they, too, will reach their destina- tion safely. [47] Looking Ahead The histories of the three lower c lasses have heen related in the past few pages. Each of these classes with the Seniors has tried to the best of its ability to make the past year in Auburn High one of the most successful that the school has ever known. The Seniors leave us and we now wonder how those vacancies can be filled. Looking back we see that the class of ' 29 contains members with exceptional ability. Margaret Avery and Ramona Heyler have carried leading roles successfully in High School plays and will again be here next year. Dayton Rieke and Kenneth Myers will uphold the dignity of the Seniors on the basketball floor next year, while Margaret Avery and Margaret Dawson will be a great aid to the girls ' team. Mary Ann McDowell has shown her ability in the vocational work and should bring more laurels to A. H. S. next year. With the help of Margaret Avery, Darwin H ook and Ramona Heyler the publications of The Chatterbox and the Follies should still remain above the average. In the class of ' 3 we have more basketball representatives in Harold Davidson, Kurt Rastenburg, Fred Quance, George Stebing and many second team players. Virginia Baker, Ruth Bartles, Hilda Har- ris and Barbara Sanders should also make a good showing on the bas- ketball floor. In the class of ' 31 we find Edward Welch and James Huffman starring in basketball for the boys with Ellen J. Walter, Mabel Wil- liams and Thelma Mock representing the girls. With these talented students Auburn should still shine in High School ranks. [48] ' Jf v em j_ Mfc 2 ■ i «S r.;w Activities Taking a .steady course through school is rather dull, and the slightest cloud that may arise serves to discourage us and force us down. But if the course is en- livened by pleasant maneuvers, we are happier, take more interest in our work, and are not discouraged. We may choose these activities to suit our individual tastes, as there air many from which to select. The activities of most interest to all are Scholarship, Journalism, Art, Organizations, Music, Voca- tional and Inter scholastic work, Dramatics, Thrift, and special work in which individuals were successful.

Analogous to the publication of the Annuals has been the growth of the school, both in number of students and scope of educa- tion. This advancement is very plainly reflected in the Annuals of each year; even by a hasty inspection of them. This is as it should be, for a yearbook ought to represent the year without deviation from the real. We may smile at the graduation clothes of yesteryear, but we smile be- cause of the ability of that publication to take us back to school twenty years ago. We are thereby recognizing the success of that book in por- traying school life of the day in its natural form. We have aimed to make this Annual just as successful by setting forth a record of the school year as it has been. The advancement of the school each year makes possible the publication of a better Annual, and we hope that we have not failed to properly make use of the opportunity given us for producing a good one. In the publication of The Follies of 1928 we were fortunate to have the assistance of capable helpers. Mr. Fribley was our faculty advisor in the work and his services were indispensable. The Auburn Greeting Card Company cooperated with us at all times in the printing, as did the Fort Wayne Engraving Company on photo-engraving work. The David J. Molloy Company supplied the covers. Photographic work was done principally by L. M. Jones, but much was also done by Rice ' s Studio. Aeroplane views of Auburn were taken by Mr. Howard Mus- ser of Toledo, Ohio.

Barnhart, Madden, Reed, Graham, Dilgard, Clement, Snyder, W. Weaver Honor Group It has been the custom to select an Honor Group each year to re- present the scholastic interest of the school. This year four students having the highest yearly average were selected from each of the four classes. In former years the number selected was three. The method by which they are chosen is very simple. The grade A counts as one point, B , two, C , three, and so on. The points are then added and the sixteen students having the lowest scores are chosen. This group is not an organized body like the clubs of the high school, but is merely a representative body of scholastic standards. Corresponding to the Honor Group of The Follies is the Honor Roll of the Chatterbox. This roll is published at the end of each six weeks period, and consists of students having two or more A ' s in their class studies. It was created several years ago to give to the students who excelled seholastically a merited honor. The Honor Group consists of the following, named in order of their class superiority: Seniors — Mildred Berringer, Jean Davenport, Joanna Rhoads, Grace Barnhart; Juniors — Helen West, Irene Miller. Marie Sprott, Ramona Heyler; Sophomores — Helen Snyder, Ruth Cle- ment, Ruth Barnhart, Helen Smith; Freshmen — Dorothy Madden, Wilma Weaver, Robert Graham, Virginia Dilgard.

The course treats of the psychological facts and principles which are involved in the solution of various educational problems with spe- cial reference to art. Some of the chief subjects studied in art are freehand perspec- tive, drawing, color, design, and lettering. Freehand perspective is a study in the science of perspective and the application of its principles. Drawing includes the sketching of trees in pencil. Color takes up color theories. In designing, exer- cises in illustration of its principles are worked out by the students. Lettering is a study of letters in designs, and their beauty, form, and origin. A study is also made of the various types of alphabets and their practical application in the way of orders for labels and signs for business. The Art Department this year has increased in size and equip- ment. The students now work in room 3, where they have large work tables and plenty of floor space. Many practical projects have been produced during the year. Some very beautiful scarf designs were created. Ornamental wall hangings have been made and the class has been engaged this spring in wood carving and leather work. The de- partment has always been useful in making posters for the school dramatics. The fundamental purpose of the art course is to teach an appre- ciation of all our surroundings.

As in former years the Chatterbox sent delegates to the Indiana High School Press Association at Franklin. This year Miss Morton, Margaret Avery and Darwin Hook represented the paper. At the end of the semester an election was held and a new staff was chosen. Those who took up the work then and will continue dur- ing the first semester next year are: Miss Morton, Editor-General; Darwin Hook, Editor-in-Chief; Ramona Heyler, Associate Editor; Margaret Avery, News Editor; Hilda Harris and Fred Quance, Athletic Editors; Marie Sprott, Society Editor; Anna May Endicott, Exchange Editor, and Irene Miller, Assistant; Virginia Baker, Joke Editor; Myr- tle Habig and Roy Shoudel, Vocational Editors; Dayton Rieke, Busi- ness Manager; Arthur Hipskind, Advertising Manager and Paul Grogg, Assistant; and Randall Smith, Circulation Manager. Several new officers were created this year due to the increase in work. The paper is not only growing but is also improving. [r,-i] Front Roiv — Capen, Mr. Weathers, Rlioads, Husselman, M.

It is composed of the students who received better than average grades in history or civics. At the beginning of the school year the club met and elected its officers at its annual pot-luck supper. William Husselman was elected president, Opal Knott vice president, Mary Brandon secretary-treas- urer, and Joanna Rhoads publicity manager. The programs were plan- ned to reproduce the most interesting features of American History. From then on the club met bi-weekly on Wednesday nights. The meet- ings were carried on in a social way but a part of each program was conducted in a serious manner. The main theme to which the programs were devoted was the featuring of interesting events in American History. By book reports, plays, and characterizations this theme was carried out. This year the club has accomplished one of the most notable projects in the club history. This was the donation to the Lincoln Memorial. The club has had a successful year due to the splendid leader- ship of Mr. Weathers who should be congratulated upon the projects the club has accomplished with his aid. The members of the club who graduate leave this organization to be carried on by the future members with the hope that the club will be even more successful in the coming year.

Barnhart Glee Club The Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Margaret Hixon, has been more successful than ever. It has been popular at the various events and meetings, where it appeared on the program. A week before Christmas the Girls ' Glee Club together with the Boys ' club went caroling about the city, singing the customary yule- tide songs, Silent Night, O Little Town of Bethlehem and Deck the Halls. At the beginning of the second semester the club was organized at the suggestion of Miss Hixon. It elected as its officers: Opal Knott President and Mary Brandon Secretary. A vice president and treas- urer were deemed unnecessary. After the organization of the club several parties were held. Some of the songs that have been the most popular with the Glee Club are Nobody Knows de Trouble I ' ve Seen, a Negro Spiritual, harmonized by H. T. Burleigh, Husheen by Mana Zucca and four American songs including From the Land of the Sky Blue Waters, Far Off I Hear a Lover ' s Flute, White Dawn is Stealing and The Moon Drops Low. All these are by Charles Wakefield Cadman. The Club is composed of members from all four classes of high school who passed a prescribed test given by Miss Hixon at the begin- ning of the year.

Brown Orchestra The Orchestra this year has been unique in that it contains twenty-two instruments, more than Auburn High School has ever had in the past. Another interesting feature that makes the orchestra un- usual is that very few members are upper-classmen, the high school having received the boys and girls who composed the Junior High School Orchestra last year under the direction of Mrs. Wolfrom. Miss Hixon, by her adequate knowledge of the various instru- ments, has successfully conducted the orchestra throughout the school year. It played before and during the intermission of the Junior- Senior play, The Gipsy Trail. At this time one of the numbers which it played very effectively was the popular Doll Dance . The orchestra also played the overture and accompanied the choruses in the operetta Peggy and the Pirate. During its forty-five minutes of practice twice a week the or- chestra has learned music of the type of School Spirit March, Moon- light Serenade, Honor Guard , and the Old Clock. Those who compose the orchestra are: first violins — Opal Knott, Virginia Bolton, Olive Telsehow, Louise Williamson, George Sockrider; second violins — Virginia Brown, Rachel Ball, Ellen Jeanette Walters, Dorothy Palmer; saxophones — Junior Fitzsimmons, Lester See, Forrest Oiler, Luther Whetzel; clarinets — Robert Knott, Joe Sprott, John Bishop; trombone — Donald Hay; flute — Vivian Elson; cornet — Dale Doty; drums — William McClure; and, piano — Erthenia Graham.

A three part composition was selected, thus assigning eight voices to the part. Hurakan, the West Wind was the selection used. As the name suggests the theme is Indian. The music was harmonized by Harvey Worthington Loomis from Vancouver and Navajo Indian tunes. It is a very difficult number, the time and key changing in many places. In spite of the difficulty the chorus sang with the ease and vitality the selection demanded. The Chorus met Garrett at Auburn on March 23. Members of the group are: first sopranos — Opal Knott, Mary Brandon, Jean Davenport, Martha Laird, Anna May Endicott, Frances Saltsman, Bertha Walter, Josephine Brandon; second sopranos — Joanna Fink, Dorothy Groscop, Helen Wyatt, Nellie Zimmerman, Irene Miller, LuEda Beuret, Frances Frederick, Ruth Clement; and altos — LaVon Showers, Ruth Barnhart, Naomi LaMar, Norma Roland, Virginia Baker, Emile Hord, Virginia Brown, Virginia Stimmel. Erthenia Graham was the chorus pianist. [58] Front Row — Husselman, Willennar, Mayfield, Knott, Zonker Rack Row — Bolton, Brandon, Roland, I.

Those who were entered to represent Auburn High School in interscholastic meets are included in the interscholastic group. Early in March a contest between the students who wished to try out for the several events was held in the auditorium. By this means school representatives were selected. Four students competed in reading and five in piano. From these Alice Willennar was judged best in reading and Ronald Zonker in piano. Alice Willennar gave Looking Out For Clara, and Ronald Zonker played Caprice by Olson. Without opposition William Husselman was made representa- tive in the Discussion, Edward Mayfield in Oration, and Opal Knott in Vocal solo. Opal sang My Lover is a Fisherman. The double quar- tet was selected by Miss Hixon, music supervisor. The subject for discussion this year was Farm Relief. The topic for Oration was the Constitution. These two events are the most important; the county winner of each may go on to larger meets. The oratorical contest in not only national but also international. The Discussion event ends in the state contest. The other interscholastic events end with the county meet. The Discussion is fostered by India- na University, and the Oration by the Bar Associations. All Auburn ' s individual representatives were Seniors. [59] Front Row — Miss Foulke, Zonker, Miller, Mayfiehl, Capen, Mr. Gumpp Dark Row — Barnhart, Sellers, Beaty, Berringer, Knott. Burtzner. Roland, Lawn Commercial Group The Commercial Group consists of Auburn High School students who have attained a high degree of efficiency in either typing, short- hand, or bookkeeping during the past year. The group is not organized for social or business purposes, but is formed to provide entrants to commercial contests and other scholastic achievements. The commer- cial instructors pick out the best students in the department for mem- bers of the Group. The first commercial contest in which the Commercial Group took part this year was held Saturday, April 21, in Fort Wayne. Win- ners from this contest take part in the state finals at Ball State Normal School in Muncie, Indiana. Mr. Gumpp was an official in the Fort Wayne contest. The students in the group representing the various events were: typing — Ronald Zonker, Irene Miller, Opal Knott, Norma Roland, and Virginia Lawhead; bookkeeping — Edward Mayfield, George Capen, and Grace Barnhart; shorthand — Lois Sellers, Edith Beaty, Mildred Berringer, and Letha Burtzner. Mr. Gumpp and Miss Foulke were the capable instructors of the Commercial Group and the success attained by the students has been due largely to the efforts of these two. The instructors have introduc- ed new methods which have greatly raised the efficiency of the entire commercial department and produced these superior students. [60] Front Row — Link, J. Miller, J.

Walters Manual Training Among the subjects in which a boy may specialize is Manual Training. Mr. Cosper ably instructs this department and he has at his disposal the necessary equipment to make the department one of the best in high school. A student in any class may take this subject but it has been con- sidered a Freshman subject since 1919. It furnishes instructions in technical knowledge as well as in practical experience. Students spend the first semester of each school year in learning instructions in me- chanical drawing. The second semester they do bench and cabinet work and wood turning. After the students have completed their re- quired work the remainder of the time is given to the working out of original projects of their own. The class helps the high school by making benches, repairing broken desks and chairs, and making equipment needed in the presen- tation of high school plays. Perhaps one of the most interesting things the class has done is the erecting of the additional room to the shop. This new space adds to the convenience of the scholars.

Keen interest is taken in every phase of the work. The quality of the work continues to reach new high levels. Among the courses this year are foods, clothing, meal planning and serving, millinery, and related science. The club work last summer included clothing, baking, canning, and health. The girls won eighteen premiums from twelve entries at the State Fair. They also won thirteen premiums out of seventeen en- tries at the State Club Exhibit. For the second consecutive year Au- burn scored highest in Girls ' Club Work in the State. The department earned money by selling candy, and serving meals to the teachers. This money is to be used to send the local club winners to the club round-up at Purdue University in May and to equip the unit kitchen. The girls are not only interested in their work, but in social activities as well. They entertained the Boys ' Vocational Club at a hard-times party in the high school gymnasium. The main feature of the evening was the stunts in which the girls took active part. The girls have taken great interest in the Style Show this spring. It was once thought that this course would be of little value to the school, but in recent years it has developed into one of the main courses offered. [62] Front Row — Mr. Hornaday, H. Davidson, R.

The year opened with an enrollment of thirty-nine hoys who have found the work most profitable and interesting. The Fresh- man-Sophomore group has studied Soils and Animal Husbandry while the Junior-Senior class has had Farm Management and Agricultural Physics. These subjects have been studied on the farm as well as the school room. School had been opened only two weeks when the Live Stock clubs in the county held their annual show. Here many honors were won for A. H. S. Donald Martin, John Kelly, Mary Ripp, Harry and Paul Provines, and Schuyler Hetrick were winners. The county corn and potato show was held the day before Thanksgiving. Harold Yoder, Virgil Korff, Donald Martin, and Dean Lockwood were the successful contestants from Auburn. At the State Corn and Potato Show Donald Martin was given a Purdue Scholarship for his outstanding work in various club activities. Schuyler Hetrick, Virgil Korff, Milton Clark, Dean Lockwood, and Roy Shoudel were among those placing high. Kenneth Casselman won an educational trip for having the highest yield of those using sodium nitrate fertilizer on potatoes. Class meetings were held the second Tuesday of each month with the following officers in charge: Harold Davidson president, Rob- ert Graham vice president and Donald Martin secretary-treasurer. A large number attended the Purdue Roundup. [63] Husselman, Mayfleld, Knott. Darling. Heyler, Kraft, Davenport, Avery, George The Gipsy Trail A maid and boy hunting adventure; A persistent suitor who tries to prevent her; A wily grandmother who abets the plot To kidnap the girl and thrill her a lot. They engage a chauffeur to do the work, And though he loves her he does not shirk. He carries her away and sees it through And before it ' s over she loves him too. The play was a very novel one dealing with the opposites in life; the romantic and the ordinary, matter-of-fact people of the world. Frances goes in search of adventure and gets herself mixed up in a greater one than she expected. She falls in love with an adventurer and Ned, the rejected suitor, is content with the leavings. The play is filled with unusual situations, including the kidnapping of a girl by a hired young Irish lad who succeeds in capturing the heart of his cap- tive. Humor was added by the escapades of Johnny, the little brother of Frances. The cast for the play was: Janet Raymond, Aunt of Frances Opal Knott Mr. Raymond, Father of Frances Edward Mayfield John Raymond, Brother of Frances Earl Kraft Mrs. Widdemore, Grandmother of Ned Margaret Avery Frances Raymond Ramona Heyler Ned Andrews Theron George Michael Rudder Robert Darling- Stiles, the Butler William Husselman Ellen, the Maid Jean Davenport [64] Principals in the cast, first roiv, standing — Rieke, Kuhlman, Van Scoik, Davenport, Gordon, Knott, Carl Walter, Brandon, Bertha Walter, Cripe, Ten Eyck, Osbun In Old Vienna In Old Vienna at Carnival Time, A Pickle Prince and maid divine. A widow hunting her long lost daughter; Bewhiskered detectiffs who diligently sought her. They finally found her but the pickles had got her. So in spite of robbers, plotters and father, She went with her mother and lover away And lived happily ever after, they say. This operetta portrayed life in Vienna at Carnival time, with its brilliant array of gypsies, dancers, and tourists. Among the tourists who visited this romantic country were Jones, the American Pickle Prince and Lady Vivian Delancy. The latter had come to search for her daughter who h ad been kidnapped when young. She found her only to give her up again to Jones with whom she had fallen in love. Mary Brandon and Carl Walter did the leading parts very well and were ably assisted by the remainder of the cast. Those who had prin- cipal parts were: Hans Maier, proprietor of the inn Kenneth Osbun Louisa, a waitress Jean Davenport Capt. Kinski, chief of Vienna ' s detectives Franklin Van Scoik Bumski, Kinski ' s faithful sleuth Dayton Rieke Rumski, Kinski ' s faithful sleuth Donald Ten Eyck J.

Pennington, famous pickle man Mark Cripe Lady Vivian Delancy, charming English widow -Bertha Walter [65] Special Awards Donald Martin Scholarship This year the vocational depart- ment boasts Donald Martin as a win- ner in its ranks. Donald is a Senior this year and the award came at a most opportune time. The scholar- ship provides free tuition for four years in Purdue University. For four years Donald has been a member of the Agriculture Club. Frances Frederick Judging Award Frances was the third highest scoring individual in the state in bread judging last spring. She won a trip to Chicago by this record. There she judged bread again and ranked ninth highest in the United States. Frances has been in the various sum- mer clubs for several vears. Ronald Zonker Typing Award Ronald was first to win a high typing award this year. The Under- wood company gives awards each month to those students most profi- cient in typing. Ronald made fifty words per minute in a fifteen minute test, February 2, and so was the first to get an Underwood silver medal. [66] Special Awards lid ward May field Oration Edward was the successful repre- sentative of Auburn in the Oration this year. He won in the local and county meets, receiving the prize of- fered by the DeKalb County Bar Asso- ciation. On April 13, he placed sec- ond in the twelfth district oratorical meet held at Fort Wayne. Opal Knott Vocal Solo Opal brought honor to Auburn High School by winning the vocal solo in the county contest, the final contest in this event. She has won by hard work and extensive training. For two years she has had a leading part in the operetta and has been a talented member of the Glee Club, double quartet, and contest chorus. Kenneth Casselman Vocational Award Kenneth won first place in the District for raising the largest yield of potatoes per acre from the use of sodium nitrate fertilizer. We should feel proud that such an honor was awarded to him. This prizle consists of either a trip to Washington, D. C. or to Mammoth Cave and The Shades. [67] School Banking Auburn High has made a remarkable thrift record this year. In the National Banking Contest it ranks among the first. As in preced- ing years, a contest was carried on among the four classes. The class having the largest percentage of students banking during a semester was to be entertained by the other classes. This rivalry aided much in stimulating a desire in the students to bank. From the beginning of the school year each Tuesday was recog- nized as Bank Day. A student was appointed in each class to act as cashier. At the close of the first semester when the percentages were averaged, it was found that the Seniors had 100%. The Juniors ranked second, Sophomores third, and Freshmen fourth. Accordingly the school was entertained by the underclassmen. The entertainment was in the form of a Christmas program, and the Christmas Play, Why The Chimes Rang, was presented. The second semester scores were much closer with each class banking 100% regularly. Banking is not compulsory but it is urged that each pupil do his best to bank at least a penny each thrift morning. For some this becomes a habit, for others, a drudge, but in time it teaches the student the value of thrift, which is the important result. The system was installed six years ago by the Auburn City National Bank. At that time the banks of many cities all over the United States began a school banking campaign. The plan has proved to be more of a success each year. [6S] ' . ' •:aa Athletics To test and prove the superior stamina of our school our fighting squads have engaged in frequent combats with others. Their abil- ity and success have given us a rank of considerable prestige with the rest. On the following pages we have compiled a record of those who took part in these tests of valor, both boys and girls, the former in basketball, football, baseball and track, the girls in basketball only. Noon league and interclass basketball are also in- cluded. Others who helped pilot the school to so many victories were officers of the Athletic Asso- ciation and those who inspired pep on the sidelines. [69] Athletic Association From Top to Bottoni- Schooley -Manon, Sprott, Graham, Mr. The Athletic Association is a high school organization which sponsors all the athletic activities. It consists of members of the student body and is fostered by the members of the faculty. Its purpose is to stimulate enthusiasm in the athletic fea- tures of the school year. All students who purchase season basketball tickets auto- matically become members of the Associa- tion. Questions concerning problems of athletic management which arise from time to time are voted upon and disposed of by the organization. Each year it meets and elects offi- cers who carry on the work of the Associa- tion independently. Last fall the members met and elected Walter Manon president, Don Sprott business manager, Erthenia Graham secretary, and Mr. Schooley facul- ty treasurer. After each athletic meet Don Sprott usually gave the student body a summary of what happened and forcasted the games for the next week. One of the big features of this orga- nization is the annual gym drive for ticket sales which is conducted. Although the enthusiasm was not lacking this year, the drive was not so successful as in former years. The Seniors succeeded in selling the greatest number of tickets in the drive. Don Sprott was unable to perform all the duties of business manager because of being on the team. During the first semester he was assisted by Fred Quance. When Fred became eligible to enter into athletics Milton Clark took his place and has efficiently executed the duties of busi- ness manager when Don Sprott was taking part in sports. The regional tourney was again held in Auburn, and is another event which the Athletic Association has been success- ful in conducting. [70] Pep Squad From Top to Bottom — Weaver, Darling, Rhoads, Brandon To be successful a team must have the support of good yell leaders, who in turn can get support from the fans. Not every student can lead yells and songs in a hasketball crowd, but we have fortunately found those who can. Early in the year, during the football season, the entire school was allowed to vote for cheer lead- ers. Wise choices were made. The leaders chosen have been popular and have earned their favor not simply by practice and abi- lity, but by keeping the crowd encouraged and in high spirits. Cappy Weaver logically heads the list of our yell leaders in the eyes of the fans as his partners were often engaged in playing basketball. Although Cappy is little larger than his big megaphone, he has been very reliable in getting response from the sidelines. He has followed the teams and worked hard. His partners were Jewell Darling and Joanna Rhoads. Jewell ' s all-over pep was, without question, a big asset to the sup- port of the team. Jo was lively. She never had to be urged to yell, for she made use of every opportunity. During the year the cheer leaders con- ducted a contest for new yells and main- tained a box for suggestions from the stu- dents. In this way variety has been put into our pep. The singing of the school songs was conducted by Mary Brandon. In order that all might learn the words and music, every student was given a typewritten copy of the words and Mary conducted a song practice every day for a week. The result is that everyone now knows the songs much better, and they have been sung with real spirit. The teams have been very successful this year, and certainly some credit for their achievement is due these four stu- dents. [71] Boys ' Coach Coach Young To Zeke is due the credit for the exceptionally fine records that his team has established for the high school. He has sent three teams to the finals in the regional tourneys, being nosed out by a few points from being able to compete in state meets. He has again established the favorite fall sport, football, in our high school and made an excellent showing this year, winning three out of five games played. Under his coaching, track and baseball teams have been very successful. He has taught clean play- ing in all branches of athletics. Boys ' Captain Captain M anon Under the guidance of Walter Manon, the team this year has had a very successful season. Although he was the smallest man on the team he has proved himself the most valuable. He has been with the team for three years. His fast and heady playing on the floor has won many of our victor- ies and with his accurate basket eye he won our way to the regional tour- ney. He has played the forward and floor guard position and handled each with equal ability. He will be missed by the varsity team next year, and his place will be hard to fill. [72] Girls Coach Coach Burkhead This was Burkie ' s first year in Auburn High School but she has made a vivid record in this short time. Her girls ' team lost but one game and thus tied Garrett for state champion- ship. They broke previous records, however, and won over Peru, another state championship acclaimant. She selected a good team from the many girls who answered her call for bas- ketball material at the first of the year and helped maintain the spirit by her excellent coaching. Her hob- by was that the girls be real sports and win that game, girls. She has made many friends by her ready smile for everyone. She certainly was a find for A. H. S. Girls ' Captain Captain Williams For two years Mary Jo has been captain of Auburn ' s girls ' team and this was her third year of playing. She is a senior this year. She played guard, in which position she can not be equalled for intercepting dribbles and preventing baskets. She has guided A. H. S. to many victories and has done much to help maintain the present record of games won. Mary Jo has participated in twelve of the fifteen games and has amazed many a forward whom she was guarding by her excellent floor work and fine pas- sing. A. H. S. loses a very reliable player in Mary Jo and one whose place will be very hard to fill next year. [731 Boys ' Team Dayton Rieke, Daddy This was Rieke ' s second year with the team and he is a Junior. His size and all- around ability make him a good center. Harold Davidson, Davy When basketball players are made, Au- burn High School makes them. Here is one of them. Davy has played two years and has two left. We indeed admire his fast team work and basket shooting. Fred Quance, Freddy Freddy was with A. H. S. for the first time this year, coming from Fort Wayne. He did not play the first half of the year, but the last semester he was an outstanding man. Charles Lash, Buck This is Charlie ' s last year on the basket- ball squad, and his heady playing as back guard will surely be missed. George Stebing, Jud George has been on the team two years. He has two years yet and we are glad of it. He has a great eye for the basket and is a fast player. His position on the floor is forward. [74] Boys ' Team Don Sprott, Kirby Kirby started with the second team and worked his way up to the first squad. This is his last year. When a basket play was needed the last few minutes of the game who was m ore dependable than Kirby? m Ralph Bruce, Knob Ralph has played basketball three years. He held his position on the floor at forward and center. We wish we had him with us another year. Kurt Rastenburg, Kurt Kurt has played with the squad two years and has been a valuable man. He has two years left. Kurt played back guard this year. Robert Darling, Bob This is Bob ' s first and last year on the squad. He did not play much this season but when he did play he surely mussed up the other team. Kenneth Myers, Kenny Kenny has played two years and has another left. His first year in basketball was played with the second team. This year he was on the first squad. [75] Summary of Season After a week of tuning up, Coach Young sent his pilots onto the floor for the first basketball game of the season, November 4. Five men were left from last year ' s squadron, and with the addition of Rieke at center, the team started down the runway for a long grind. The first incident was the game at Waterloo. Waterloo was overpowered 38-9. After another week of tuning up and making necessary changes, Auburn defeated an old rival 31-8, Albion being forced back to its own hangar. In an unsuccessful attempt to rise from the ground Auburn was forced back to the home field, downed by Ashley 25-21. Auburn failed to make a good take-off and never succeeded in rising. This was the biggest upset of the season. Back at the home field, Auburn was forced back to the ground after one of the most disastrous defeats of the year. Decatur overpow- ered the five pilots on November 23 to score a 44-2 4 victory. On December 2, Butler was seen to come into sight and landed at the Alumni Gymnasium to fly away five points behind the Auburn pilots. Auburn won this game 26-21. Coach Young decided his ship was not up to standard so he com- pletely overhauled it, and at Angola on December 9, after an hour ' s work Auburn returned to the home field with a victory keg and a 29-28 victory. Manon scored the final point to humble the Angola pilots. The following night the team came through another stormy battle. With a slow take-off Auburn rose to the clouds to be brought back to even terms with Bluffton. With thirty seconds to go, Sprott made the final point to put the local team in the lead, winning the game 23-22. On December 16, Auburn changed its course and headed west. The first town to be seen was Garrett. Landing here, the local team scored a 29-26 victory. After this game the ship returned to its hangar to rest for a week. Turning a little to the northwest, Auburn sighted Kendallville. Kendallville had a much better machine than the local team; Auburn was forced down early in the game to admit defeat 53-30. [76] After two weeks of overhauling and rearranging some parts of the ship, Auburn battled Decatur on January 6. Flying low and with the motor not functioning perfectly we were forced back to our held with a 51-22 defeat. One pilot was lost, Manon being forced out of the game with four personals to his credit. The following night Auburn proved it had a better ship than before. Holding K-ville close to the ground through most of the game, the Auburn ship took a nose dive the last five minutes and was forced down in defeat 38-23. Rising to the clouds after a splendid take-off, and keeping above North Side, Port Wayne, during the whole game, Auburn won 38-19. Several pilots were out of the game on account of mumps. With the supply of power short, the home team was forced to return January 21 for refueling, leaving behind a lost game with Columbia City, a defeat 47-31. With several aviators back, the machine tuned up with a new motor the next week end. Flying west it bumped into Albion and de- feated them 32-14. This game was on February 3. The local team was downed by Fort Wayne. Central High was working in perfect order and crashed the local defense for a 3 4-25 vic- tory. On the night of February 10, Angola and Auburn raced down the runway to gain the lead. Both teams were evenly matched. At two minutes to go Auburn struck a rut and was forced to remain on ground while Angola turned and flew north with the victory keg and a 34-30 victory. February 11 Auburn headed for the last two landings to be made for the season. The first was St. Joe. Using the reserve pilots and observers most of the journey Auburn scored her victory 33-25. The following week Auburn landed at Fremont and flew through the city, turned and came back with a 39-28 victory- With a perfectly functioning motor Auburn ' s team soared high on February 24 and defeated Ligonier 87-8. Auburn returned to the hangar for the rest of the season, leav- ing behind 11 victories and 9 defeats. Auburn scored 631 points to the opponents 573. This was one of the most successful seasons the high school has ever had. [77] Tournament Success Invaded by mumps, the team was in poor shape to enter the County Tourney held at the St. Joe gymnasium on January 28. Coach Young decided to send men who had never played in any tournament before and a few of his second string men. These men were Rieke, Darling, Myers, Huffman, Welch, Quance, Thimlar, and Freeman. Saturday morning Auburn met Butler, which proved to be one of the best games of the tournament. Auburn kept ahead until the last few minutes and when the game ended the score stood 18-18. In the over- time period, Butler scored points to nose out the local team 21-18. This was the first tourney we had lost for four or five years. Good material was shown in this game for the coming players of the high school. Playing a great brand of basketball in her last few games on the schedule, Auburn entered the Sectional Tourney held at the new Garrett gymnasium on March 2 and 3. The local team met Garrett at seven-thirty Friday night and one of the best games in the tournament was witnessed then. Auburn scored 14 points to Garrett ' s 5 in the first half. Garrett came back the second period to hold the locals to three points while they were scoring 10 points, the game ending 17-15 in Auburn ' s favor. Auburn was slow in the offense, and passing was not very good. With Ashley winning over the Jefferson Center quintet, she met Auburn in the last game on Saturday morning. This, like the game Friday night, proved to be a thriller with Auburn on the long end when the time was up with a score 18-16. Earlier in the season Ashley had defeated the locals four points, but with better basket shooting Auburn was able to hold the lead in the tourney. In the last game in the afternoon Auburn met the Larwill play- ers. These boys were much larger than the locals but were not able to stop the speedy offense of Auburn. The first half ended 13-13, but with Auburn tightening her defense and playing better basketball in the second period, the locals defeated them 31-23. This gave Auburn the right to meet Butler in the finals at night. Butler had defeated the best contender for sectional honors, Columbia City, in the first game in the morning. Butler showed amazing skill in handling the ball and shooting and as a result the Auburnites were forced on every play. Butler scored the first three baskets but with Manon calling time to talk things over, the team came back to score and to gain the lead. Auburn led by one point at the half which ended 16-15. Butler came back the second half to make their last bid for sectional honors only to lose out in the final minute of play. With about 20 seconds to go, Manon sank the field basket to let the local team carry off the sectional honors again, just as the year before. We won the game by a one point margin, 27-26. Winning this tourney gave Auburn the right to enter the Re- gional Meet held here the following week. Three games were played in which the following teams participated: LaGrange, Kendallville, Angola and Auburn. [78] In the first game on Saturday afternoon Angola met LaGrange and won over them after five minutes of overtime playing. The game ended 21-18, thus leaving the Angola quintet to compete in the finals to be held at night. In the second game Saturday afternoon Auburn met Kendallville. With a series of long shots and follow-ups which could not be intercepted, Kendallville displayed wonderful basketball again and nosed out the local team to a 21-12 victory- In the finals Kendallville was again the winner, defeating Angola 27-20. This gave them the right to enter the state meet to be held at Indianapolis the following week. Kendallville again made a remarkable record this year and Auburn joins them in praising their team. This was Kendall- ville ' s second year to go to the state meet. They were nosed out in their first game by Bedford on Friday morning. Individual Records Captain Manon of Auburn High School ' s varsity basketball team was the most defensive and offensive man for the year of 1927-28. He ranked first in Auburn ' s scoring combination and was followed closely by Rieke, center, and Quance, guard. Manon scored fifty-nine field goals and put thirty-three free throws through the net totalling one hundred and fifty-one points for the year. His nearest rivals were Rieke with a total of one hundred and fifteen points, and Quance with ninety-four to his credit. Quance, how- ever, played only half the season. Individual records for the first eleven players are: Games Field Personal Free To tal Player Pla ed Goals Fouls Throws Po nts Manon 20 59 32 33 151 Davidson 18 29 20 30 88 Rieke 20 50 44 15 115 Stebing 14 34 15 21 89 Lash 20 11 56 4 26 Sprott 16 12 18 7 31 Quance 9 35 25 24 94 Bruce 15 11 13 1 23 Darling 10 2 8 1 5 Myers 8 1 5 2 4 Rastenburg 9 1 6 3 5 [79] Girls ' Team Letha Burtzner, Bert Although Letha ' s regular position was forward she could play any position on the floor. She was good at all of them. This was her last year on the squad and she leaves a difficult place to fill. Juanita Boren, Boots This was Boots ' fourth and last year on the team. The position of side-center is now left vacant. This will mean hard work for some one for Juanita ' s record will be hard to equal. Vera Morr, Red Red is a senior who has played three years in the position of center. She is known for her clean playing and quietness. Hilda Harris, Hilda Here ' s a Sophomore. She made 270 points out of the team ' s 4 74. Of course she will be back again next year. Mary Joe Hoff, Bode As a new member on the team Mary Joe has proved most valuable. She plays guard and very good basketball. This is her last year in A. H. S. [80] Girls ' Team Margaret Avery, Marge Coach Burkhead still has Marge left for another year. She has stopped many drib- bles, thus preventing possible baskets. Lois Sellers, Red Lois is a senior who has fought for A. H. S. two years. She was a good dependable guard who was always available when needed. Ruth Bartles, Bartles Ruth is another of our players who al- ways does her best. Much is expected from her in the next two years. Joanna Rhoads, Jo Although known as a good yell leader, Jo has much talent at forward. She has plen- ty of fight and determination and this with good head work makes her an outstanding player. Margaret Dawson, Mike Mike played both forward and side- center very creditably. She is one of our big hopes for next year. [81] Summary of Season The Auburn girls completed a most successful basketball sea- son. They won 12 out of 13 games and tied two others. Their one de- feat was by the Garrett girls, who, in turn, were defeated by the Au- burn team in a return game. Two games were tied; since there was no agreement made before each game the tie could not be played off. The squad was practically the same as last year. The first six players, mostly seniors, were: Morr ' 28, Boren ' 28, Burtzner ' 28. Harris ' 29, Williams ' 28, and Hoff ' 28. The others who played were Avery ' 29, Sellers ' 28, Rhoads ' 28, Dawson ' 29, Bartles ' 30, Grube ' 29, Walters ' 31, Lige ' 30, Darling ' 30, Sanders ' 30, Mock ' 31, Baker ' 30, and Williams ' 31. It is customary for the Athletic Association to give sweaters to the girls who have shown the best merit on the squad. Those to whom sweaters were given this year are: Hilda Harris, Mary Joe Hoff, Mar- garet Dawson, Lois Sellers, and Mabel Bartles. Six of the girls already had sweaters. They are: Letha Burtzner, Juanita Boren, Mary Jo Williams, Vera Morr, Margaret Avery, and Joanna Rhoads. The first game of the season was played Friday night, November 4, with Waterloo here. This game gave the Auburn fans an idea of the capability of the team. The game was slow for both teams and was easily won by the score 34 to 6. The next week ' s game was another easy eventless contest with St. Joe. This ended with the score 34 to 4. As both of the former games were held here we had the next one at Ashley. This was very interesting; the Auburn sextet was held to a tie score of 30 to 3 0. On November 23 the Peru girls came to Auburn. This was one of the big games of the season. Neither team would be defeated and again the score ended a tie, 2 8 to 2 8. The fifth game was with New Haven here. Practically all of the Auburn girls played in this game and won by an easy score of 2 5 to 9. Again on the tenth of December our rivals played Auburn. Auburn ' s playing proved too much for them and Ashley was defeated by a score of 50 to 11. The last game before Christmas was played with the fast Gar- ret team at Garrett. This was a hard game and the Auburn girls met defeat for the only time this season by 34 to 21. Promptly after vacation playing commenced again, the first victory being with Wabash. The game was played there and ended 19 to 25. On January 13 the most eventful game of the season was played. The victory was won by the locals after a hard battle with Garrett, 28 to 23. Next came the Wabash game here and, like the former game [82] there, it was a close one. The Snowballs were very fast but were forced to a defeat of 33 to 30. The next two games were with Columbia City. The first was played there and ended 4 to 2 2. On February 4 they came to Auburn and were defeated 42 to 21. The Fort Wayne General Electric Industrials were conquered February 10, the score being 40 to 32. On February 17 the Auburnites went to Peru and triumphed over the Tigeretts by a score of 10 to 15. The last game was played here with Ligonier. That team met defeat at Auburn ' s hands, 30 to 12. The number of field points scored during the year was 4 3 0. Forty-four foul shots were made out of a possible ninety free throws. The entire score for Auburn was 474 and the opponents sccred 285. Individual Records During the entire season fifteen games were played. The th res girls who participated m each of these games were: Juanita Boren who played side-center, Letha Burtzner and Hilda Harris who played forward. The three ranking r text were: Vera Morr, who played in fourteen games, Mary Joe Hoff who pla yed in fourteen, and M ary Jo Williams who played in twelve. The ind ividual records cf all th 3 team are as follows: No. Field Foul Tech Total Name of Player Games Points Point s Fouls Persona I Fort ' s Letha Burtzner 15 152 24 2 14 16 Hilda Harris 15 252 18 3 O Juanita Boren 15 2 15 17 Ve ra Morr 14 1 1 2 Mary Joe Hoff 14 3 11 14 Mary Jo Williams 12 2 1 23 24 Margaret Dawson 10 10 2 2 4 Lois Sellers 8 2 2 4 Joanna Rhoads 7 10 1 1 2 3 Ruth Bartles 7 Margaret Avery 7 2 2 Ellen J.

Most of the old men reported and were given intensive workouts immediately. Practice was slowed up some when the track became very muddy, which made running very difficult. For two weeks the candidates reported after school each night. Some of the eld men with us again in 1928 are Lash, Stebing, Thompson, and Davidson. In the first baseball game last year Auburn was victorious by one run. The game was not a very good exhibition of baseball, each pitcher allowing many hits. Due to many errors made on both sides the game was not very interesting. Waterloo scored eight runs to the locals ' nine. This game was played on the ninth of April. The following week Auburn played Ashley and was able to hold them to no runs, defeating them 3-0. Tight defensive work was dis- played on both sides with neither making very many errors. Grogg pitched an exceptionally good game from the mound, allowing only three hits during the whole game. In a field meet held at the Kendallville track grounds on May seventeenth, Auburn placed third. The teams that participated in the meet were Kendallville, Albion, Auburn, Garrett, and Wolf Lake. Kendallville ranked first followed by Albion, with Auburn taking the third position. Saturday, April twenty-third, Auburn took third in a triangle track and field meet held at Auburn. Garrett, Kendallville, and Au- burn participated in this meet. Myers and Lash scored first and second places respectively in the half mile with Teeters placing third in the mile. Funk placed second in the shot-put and Stebing placed third in the 220 yard dash. In the invitational track and field meet held at Goshen, Auburn was able to capture only one position. Lash was nosed out of second place by a few yards in the mile. He was the only man who scored for the lecal high school. On April twenty-ninth. Auburn was defeated in her second base- ball game with Ashley by a large margin, the final score being 9-1. A great many errors were made on the part of Auburn. Davidson scored the only run, in the third inning. Grogg and Funk were the mounds- men for the local nine. In the final track meet of the season on May seventh, Auburn [SO] Q was again defeated by Garrett. This was the county track meet held at Robbins ' baseball park. Only two teams competed as the others withdrew because of the lack of representatives. Garrett scored fifty- five points to the locals forty-four. Scoring the last three events put Garrett ahead with a safe lead of eleven points. This was the second time in the season that the Garrett track men defeated the local high school ' s runners. In the sectional meet held at Fort Wayne, Lash was nosed out of second place in the mile by two feet. His time was 4:40. On May thirteenth, the Auburn team played its last game of the season in baseball with Butler. They won by a score of five to one Grogg pitched for the lccal team and allowed very few hits. These two sports have benefited those boys who have not made the football or basketball squad. A great many men are needed in this type of sports, which gives more men a chance to participate in athletics. More become interested and consequently more students at- tend school. New records are continually being made in these high school events and mere competition is developed each year. Letters are awarded to these men for their work. Mere letters are given out in track than baseball. Baseball has not taken a firm grip in the athletic program. A few years ago it was dropped completely for a while. Coach Young has attempted to revive the game and so far has made a very successful effort. He has won three out of the four games played. Much is ex- pected of the team in the future. This year, several men are back on the baseball and track squads and a better showing will be expected of them than that of last year. After the tourney this year, Zeke called for men for these branches of athletics. Almost all the former men reported and several new men joined the squad. Lash, who has run the mile for the last three years, will again compete. This will be his last year. He has made a good record. He placed in the Kendallville meet, the county meet, the Goshen invitational meet, and the sectional meet held at Fort Wayne. Most of the material of this year has a year or two to go, and in the future a very remarkable track and baseball team is predicted. Owing to the fact that more men are participating in this branch of athletics, new records are expected to be made in the mile, half mile, hundred yard dash, and the high jump.

Then about 1912 the sport was dropped from the school ' s athletic program and was not reestablished until Leitzman became coach. As interest in the game increased Auburn developed better teams. Attendance at games became larger, bringing in enough money to pay the expenses and to send the team to distant towns for games. This year the local team won three games out of the five played. On September 15, Auburn headed south to play Decatur in the first meet of the season. By an intercepted pass, Davidson scored the only touchdown during the game, thus leaving Auburn in the lead at the end. Auburn won this game 6-0. The teams were very well match- ed but by superior running on the part of the local players, they gained more ground than the opponents. In the second game of the season, Auburn was defeated 13-0 by Columbia City. That team had a strong line and a fast backfield which plunged through the local ' s defense in the second and third quarter. The following week Auburn scored a victory defeating North Side of Fort Wayne 25-0. This was North Side ' s first year in the game but her players showed remarkable skill. Manon, Davidson, and Rieke were the men who scored in this game. Manon succeeded in crossing the line twice and making many gains during the game. Serious injury forced Manon, our star quarterback, out of the Kendallville game on Saturday, October 15. This game resulted in a 31-0 loss. It was played in a mass of mud which slowed up the game. Prentice crossed the line three times to lead his team to victory. In the final grid game of the season Auburn defeated Stryker, Ohio, 16-6. Not much speed was shown, however, in this game: Coach Young substituted most of his second string in the last quarter. Many of these players were Freshmen who will make the Auburn High School team in the future years. Auburn took fourth place in the Northeastern Indiana Confer- ence of football teams. The following teams belonged to this con- ference: South Side of Fort Wayne, Central of Fort Wayne, North Side of Fort Wayne, Huntington, Decatur, Bluffton, Garrett, Kendall- ville, Columbia City, and Auburn. South Side of Fort Wayne took first place in the conference by playing one conference game and winning [90] it. Auburn High School took fourth place being nosed out of third place by Kendallville. The purpose of this association is to make the teams become better acquainted with each other ' s style of playing, promote competition among the schools, and establish a better feeling toward each other. A same kind of organization will be established next year. The following teams have been scheduled for the Auburn High School ' s fall calendar: Decatur, North Side of Fort Wayne, Central High School of Fort Wayne, Bluffton, Garrett, and Kendall- ville. Some others may be added in the future but thus far the above have been the only to accept the open dates. Under the supervision of Donald Coar, the basketball second team passed a fairly successful season, winning three games out of six played. Mr. Coar is the mathematics instructor, and after school hours has put in his time coaching the second string. The purpose of this team is to furnish athletic participation to more men than otherwise could play and to pick material for the following year ' s team. Most of the men on this year ' s squad were Freshmen and Sophomores. Welch and Huffman were the two outstanding stars of this team, being the high point men for the year. LaGrange was the first to play the second string on December 3 when the Auburn five were forced down in defeat 3 8-19. Stage fright and nervousness were the main causes for the locals ' defeat. The following week Auburn was again defeated by the Angola squad, 25-28. Much improvement was shown in this game. Auburn was nine points behind with three minutes to go when a sudden rally was started. They were three points behind at the sound of the gun. On December 2 2, the team again bowed to a visiting team and this time it was to Kendallville. This was lost by the score of 20-30. On February 3, the Auburn second team won its first game, de- feating Albion 27-17. Exceptionally good passing was featured here and good basket shooting was also staged. This game was played on a very small floor which handicapped the locals considerably. In the last game away from home the local second string men were again victorious, winning over Fremont by a score of 32-2 0. Welch, the Freshman forward, was the outstanding player, having scored most of the points. On February 25, Auburn was able to walk away from Butler ' s second team by a score 32-30. There were four Freshmen who starred in this game; they showed skill in handling the ball. They are the future basketball players for the local high school. [01] Seated — Fayler, Clark, Holloway Kneeling — Korff, Cool, Zonker, George Interclass Basketball Interclass basketball was played in the Alumni Gymnasium each Thursday and Friday throughout the winter by teams composed of boys who were unable to make the varsity. Each team played a schedule of fifteen games, closing the season on March 22. The Sen- iors won the championship by winning all games except one lost to the Freshmen by one point overtime. Exceptionally good games were played by these teams, the Freshmen and Sophomores fighting hard all the way for third place. Both teams succeeded in winning five games out of fifteen played, thus tying for third. The Juniors easily took second place by winning seven games and losing eight. Members of the championship team were: Robert Cool, Mil- ton Clark, Virgil Korff, Grover Fayler, Ronald Zonker, Robert Terry, Theron George, and Cecil Holloway. These men played a good brand of basketball. The excellent passing staged by them was the principal cause for defeating the teams they played. Excellent cooperation among the players was exhibited, and with the aid of Zonker, star pivot man, this team succeeded in winning fourteen games. This is a remarkable record for a class team. Members of the Junior squad were: Roth, Steininger, Hetrick, Walters, McClure, Madden, and Murphy. Sophomores were: Shoudell, Groscup, Cool, Daub, Franz, Kraft, Blum, and Thompson. The Fresh- men were: Smadel, Gregg, Link, Myers, West, Bishop, Carnahan, and Brandon. [02] Cool, Dirrlm, Kraft. Smadel, Korff Noon League Basketball Noon league basketball games were played every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday during the winter. The teams were organ- ized under the supervision of Mr. Coar and Coach Young, and each was given the name of a college in Indiana. The aim of the league was to create more interest in high school athletics and give every boy a chance to participate in basketball. Any boy not playing on the var- sity squad was eligible for these teams. Student interest in the games ran high, as shown by the num- ber attending daily. Many exciting games were played and in March four teams claimed a standing of first place. It was therefore neces- sary to play off the tie on March 2 2 and 23. In the finals Wabash and Butler clashed. The Wabash players were crowned champions of the noon league when they won by a three point margin, with the final score 10-13. The four teams tying for first place were Wabash, Butler, Pur- due, and Hanover. DePauw captured fifth place with Notre Dame taking sixth. Three teams tied for seventh place in the league and these were Indiana, Earlham, and Manchester, with Muncie Normal taking last position. Muncie Normal won only one game during the season. Members of the victorious team were: Korff, center; Kraft, forward; Dirrim, forward; Smadel, floor guard; and Cool, back guard. [93] Prospects for Next Year Auburn High School has many men left for the future athletic- teams. There are only a few Seniors who graduate this spring who have participated in athletics. They are: Robert Darling, in football, basketball, and track; Walter Manon in football, basketball and base- ball; Charles Lash in football, basketball, baseball and track; Don Sprott in basketball; Ralph Bruce in football, basketball and baseball; and Robert Cool in football. In the latter sport, the majority of the players this year were Sophomores. Rieke, Myers and Madden will be back next year to carry their positions as they did this year. The Freshmen showed such abili- ty that much is expected of them next year. Some Freshmen who have been prominent are Fitzsimmons, Welch, and Huffman. In basketball, the team loses heavily. Five men graduate, but Rieke, Stebing, Davidson, Quance, and Rastenburg will carry the colors next year. These men have been on the squad two years and have done very fine wcrk this year. Manon, Sprott, Lash, Darling and Bruce will not be seen in action again. Five Freshmen from this year ' s second team will probably constitute the reserves. Track and baseball will lose very few, as these teams are com- posed of Freshmen and Sophomores. The men who have been on the squad this year will be back again next year, so excellent records should be made. In baseball, Bruce and Darling will need to be re- placed and in track. Cool, Lash, and Darling. The teams this year have made excellent showings and, as they have had Sophomores on the squad, the team for the future looks prom- ising. Freshmen, especially, promise the school excellent teams for the future. The prospects for another girls ' basketball team which will hold the same record as previous teams look very favorable. Although the Seniors take with them five of the first team and two first class subs, there is still some excellent material left. Those who will be with us next year are: a first team forward, Hilda Harris; a dependable guard, Margaret Avery; and a good center, Ellen Jeanette Walters. Others are Marion Grube, Mike Dawson, Ruth Bartles, Thelma Mock, Mabel Williams. Jewell Darling, and Barbara Sanders. No doubt others will come into the lime light next year. More scalps for A. H. S. and another girls ' team which will hold a record similiar to those of the past are assured. [94] School Life Our trip through high school is after all a very rapid flight. We have passed through four flying years before we realize it. We are learning fast, but do not appre- ciate the pleasure of the course of instruction until we have finished it and come to apply the knowledge in a practical way every day. It is the purpose of this entire book to record the happenings of high school days, and it is therefore very appropriate to set apart the following pages as a special record of school scenes: laboratories, pic- nics, and events that have a par- ticular significance or memory about them. [95] Superintendent ' s Office The Superintendent ' s office is al- ways sought when students want to use the adding machine or the paper punch. Here is where we borrow the scissors, a ruler, colored chalk, or seme paste. To make a long story short, it ' s a handy place and a very busy one. Freshman Reception Every year the three upper class- es welcome the new students at a Freshman Reception held in the audi- torium. Here the Senior president and secretary present the keys of Au- burn High School to the Freshman president and secretary, as shown in the picture. Basketball Practice Every afternoon after school the basketball players report to Coach Young for practice. They have about two hours coaching in special plays, foul-shooting, and all the arts of the game. Here is the first team in real action during the last night ' s practice before the Regional tournament. Botany Laboratory The botany, physical geography and physics classes all share this roomy laboratory. In addition to the five tables, there are chairs for recita- tion. Connected with the laboratory is a large and well-stocked supply room and a small room used for gas experiments and radio reception. [96] Hookey Wagon Mrs. McDonald is the attendance officer and her Hookey Wagon is well known by those who like to skip school. Her territory includes the entire county so she is not often seen here, but nevertheless she has brought Ed Mayfield and Gilbert Pot- ter to school. Commercial Room Accountants, bankers, auditors, and treasurers are trained in this room. The Senior bookkeeping class- es study here under the supervision of Mr. Gumpp. The room is also occu- pied by a large class in shorthand. On the left is the door to the typing room. Hamilton Lake Auburn High School is fortu- nately located within an hour ' s drive of many beautiful lakes. One of these is usually selected for the class pic- nics of the last day of school. Such sports as swimming, fishing, rowing, and skating are enjoyed at Hamilton Lake, shown here. Visual Education Almost every class in high school now makes extensive use of moving pictures for education. The school owns a good picture machine and screen, and the lecture room is used as the theatre. The projector is oper- ated by any of a few faculty or stu- dent operators. [97] Art Room This is the first year that the art department has had the amount of room it needs. Under the supervision of Miss Sellers the students have made excellent progress and this is evident from looking at the wall hangings and posters on the wall. Press Convention Each year the Chatterbox and Follies send delegates to the Indiana High School Press Association Con- vention held at Franklin, Indiana. The convention is usually held in Oc- tober, and the delegates have a pleas- ant and profitable trip. Here are this year ' s delegates enjoying pretzels along the way. History Club One of the liveliest organizations in school is the History Club, com- posed of upper classmen. The club is sponsored by Mr. Weathers and meets every other Wednesday night. A program is given and in the picture the committee is presenting a leap year wedding ceremony. Wood Shop The manual training course is given in the Wood Shop located on the- Harrison school grounds. The de- partment is supplied with good equip- ment and is very efficient. During the past summer an addition was built to the shop, greatly increasing its size. Several boys are shown painting the addition. [98] Model Apartment Probably many students do not know that our home economics class- es possess a small apartment within the school building. It is nicely fur- nished and would make a very pleas- ant place to live. This picture is of the cozy dining room, one of four rooms. Typing Room The students take great interest in the subject of typing. Competition is furnished by graphs showing each pupil ' s speed and by tests in which awards may be won. To cultivate even touch the classes type to music from the phonograph in the center, rear. Pledge Drive Revue The Pledge Drive Revue was giv- en in April this year, and was com- bined with the Thrift program to make a longer and better perform- ance than is usually given. Here the characters of the Revue are holding a rehearsal and receiving instructions from Walter Manon, their manager. The Bulletin Board What havoc there would be if the bulletin board should disappear for a day. Each student has a habit of pausing to read the bulletins every time he passes it. There is always a big rush when a noon league schedule is newly posted. [99] The Zero Hour When we ' re trying to start the day right, our first period teacher says, You ' re on the list to go to the office. Here a crowd is waiting to explain an absence, tardiness, or de- linquent excuse, and hoping to get a white slip instead of a yellow one. Athletic Field This gives you an aeroplane view of the grand stand and field where Auburn High School ' s outdoor athle- tic contests take place. According to the demands of the occasion, the field is used as a track or baseball diamond in the spring and as a football grid- iron in the fall. Candy Stand Every day at four o ' clock Edith Refner has charge of the heme econo- mics candy stand at the foot of the main stairway. During the year the stand has become a busy place, and has been a financial aid to the depart- ment. Ninth Period As ye sow, so also shall ye reap, which means that if you are often tardy you stay after school each night for a week.

[110] PlUrid THE SENIOR HIGH FLYER Vol. = Bh Octember 2x-5 Arabic Number PLAN SCHOOL SKYSCRAPER NEW INSTRUMENT MELTS ICEBERGS Dr. Gilbert Blosser Pot- ter, by experiment, has found why it may kill a per- son to throw a big diction- ary at him. An unabridged dictionary, striking a person suddenly, will cause 150 pounds (an average man) to move 2 ft. 9 inches in one-eighth of a second. In a whole second the 150 pounds would move 22 feet. So the dictionary has acted with six horse- power on the man. Think what six horsepow- er will do. If turned into electricity it would light 112 ordinary light bulbs. If used to heat water, it would produce in an hour 3,S67,264 calories of heat, or it would change 5469.96 g. of ice into steam. This equals 12.059,073,816 pounds, and the steam would fill 53,365.46 cubic inches. Or, all the glaciers and ice- bergs of the Earth, estimat- ed to weight 155,111,604,000 tons, could be melted at this rate (which is S5.247702144 pounds per hour) in 25,725,- 292,271,638,764 hours and 7 minutes, or 1,071,887,177,- 984,948 days, 12 hours, and 7 minutes. Dr. Potter says that must be the reason a hurled dic- tionary hurts. Scientist Makes Great Discovery Charles Lash, a Senior of Mcintosh High School and a scholar of the sensational eld pedagogue Ali Baba, has revealed a very startling- discovery which shall be of benefit to all mankind to dumb animals. Mr. Lash, being of a philanthropic na- ture, has condescended to release his secret to the world rather than to profit by it. Heretofore, a 1 1 clothes that were worn when eating eggs had to be discarded because of the egg and gra- vy tracks. To Mr. Lash we owe our deliverance from this situation, for he has so completely removed such stains that they will never be visable, even to a power- ful microscope. His instructions are: (1) obtain a sharp pair of scis- sors; (2) very carefully cut the fabric around the stained portion; (3) lift out the stained portion with the thumb and first finger, and (4) burn the stained por- tion. There is only one disad- vantage, and it is negligible. That is the hole left by the process. The holes can be easily disposed of, however, by feeding them to moths. The moth will eat the holes. GRADUATING CLASS FINANCES PROJECT Structure Will lie 450 Stories Jn Height The Senior class of Au- burn High School has just announced that it has accu- mulated money in the side drawer of the desk here with which to build a 45- story skyscraper as a new The Skyscraper high school building. The janitor, who will supervise the stupendous work, has been presented with a gold plated wrecking bar, and at 10:00 tomorrow morning he will pry open the drawer (See Back Page) [111] SENIOR HKJH FLYER The Senior HIGH FLYER Entered at Post Office Side Door Licensed Chauffeur Do Not Forget to Turn Out Lights When Not Needed Use No Hooks PLATFORM: Please Do Not Ask For Credit EDITORIAL Spanish was not taught here this year, we notice. There are just twelve months in the year. We go to school nine months. Sta- tistics therefore allege that we spend three-fourths of the year in school. Even the lowly sheet of paper is two-faced. Scandal was the initial step in the first gratis ad- vertisement ever thunk up. Rumor has it that next year will he 1929. LADIES ' READY-TO-WEAR Ask the Man Who Owns One Charles Lash The Lame BREAKS WORLD TYPING RECORD Word has just heen re- ceived by freight that Jack Gregg, an Auburn student, will get a free four-year course at the State Reform School for his recent typing speed on a Smithwood type- writer. Jack claims the most outstanding record ever achieved in an actual speed test. Jack is very proud of his skill and says his record is due to concentration as sol- id as ivory. He has been a typing student of the Amalgamated Correspon- dence Schools for six years. His record may be due to the fact that the lessons all went to the Dead Letter Office, and the mail man never brought the illustrat- ed, high priced diploma that Jack ordered by air mail. Be that as it May, June, or July, here are the sta- tistics of his 15 minute test. They have probably never been duplicated be- fore and probably never will. He wrote 1415 strokes, which is 283 words. On this one page of copy he made 109 errors, which deducts 1090 words from the 2S3 Then dividing this number by 15 minutes his speed was negative 54 words per min- ute. Indeed Jack deserves his reward for every few people could obliterate the alphabet at the rate of 54 words per minute. HOLLOWAY The Painter One trial will convince you !!

The site which has been selected for the building is the land where the high school flag pole now stands. The skyscraper will be a marvel of building perfec- tion; that is, nothing ever like it. Forty-five stories in height, it will be entirely of wood construction. In order to satisfy an old custom the building will be painted red, so that it can be a real red schoolhouse. The fire mar- shall has said, The new building will surely be the finest fire trap of its kind. it will be heated by a fur- nace in the cellar. This will be cheaper than any other plan. The contract for the build- ing was let to the Manual Training department , and the shop boys will build it and get grades for their work as usual. It will pro- bably be sawed out by hand at the wood shop, and then hauled to its site and glued together by sections. Mr. Cosper predicts that with good results the building will be ready for occupa- tion by the class of 1989. Inasmuch as the sky- scraper will be built as class work, and store boxes will be used for lumber, the low cost of seven and a half million dollars is pos- sible. This price is quoted without ink-wells. We congratulate the Sen- iors upon this wise dispos- al of their cash. At least, that is safer than leaving it in the top desk drawer on the right hand side, near the back, behind the note- books, and in a canvas bag, tied shut with a string. The building would not have been possible without school banking. So, we might say, A penny every Tuesday will build a sky- scraper in sixty-one years. Poor Richard should have said: Don ' t buy rubber tubing by the yard; the clerk may stretch it. Member of PLAN EXPEDITION TO FRIGID ZONE Professors Schooley and Hornaday of Auburn High School have announced that they will start on an ex- haustive expedition into the frozen and baren regions of the Amazon Valley of South America. Or, they may go to the wilds of central Ken- tucky. They haven ' t decid- ed which, but they will go next month. Where they go will probably depend upon where they end up. The trip will be made on foot, except for what rides they can bum from tourists The Professors expect to find lots of several things, it depends on where they go. They are not sure how long they will stay, it de- pends on where they go. They may use guns or bows and arrows, it depends on where they go. They will k n o w better next time.
