If these are embodied in the pages of this book, our purpose has been accomplished. Dedication What )}ut)i Jias, lie has orated ' for himself. He has formed mar- relonn cirili.iatio}! . We dedicate the Follies of 1930 to that urge in man which prompts him to exca- vate previous cirilizations, to un- earth from- his social heritages the foundation of this present civiliza- tion, and to the spirit that per- meates him with a desire to secure moi ' c knowledge by research in scientific and philosophical fields. Prologue Life moves. Situations at their occurrences may appear unpleas- ant or am u ing, commonplace or climateric. Future changes our vieivpoints. In the Fifties of this century alumni of A. H. S. will search the pages of this record of our excavations and pronounce as trival tuhat we now think import- ant, and consequential what ap- pears to us as matters of indiffer- ence. From this sentimeyit the Follies of 1930 has been evolved. This book is a true portrayal of our Senior year, as we see it. We have endeavored to include those things that will permit each reader to view his school life in the light of his oivn experiences.

Most of the area is built upon; only a small amount is left for lawn and play ground. The main building or Mcintosh Building, the heating plant, and the Alumni Gymnasium are located in this area. The grounds on which the Mcintosh building and the heating plant are built were a gift of Mr. William Mcintosh, and consist of the whole 800 block. In appreciation of Mr. Mcintosh ' s gift and his life long interest and participation in education the school city of Auburn named the main building The Mcintosh Building. The structure was erected in 1918. The Alumni Gymnasium was built in 1925 out of funds raised by the Alumni of A. H. S. and Athletic Association money. Since erec- tion, the gymnasium has been in daily use for the physical education program. The Eckhart Public Library, located one block north and one block west of the Mcintosh Building, is used by the high school stu- dents. Arrangement is made by which students may go to the library for study and reading. The building was a gift of Mr. Charles Eck- hart In 1910. The Wood Shop is located on the Junior High School grounds. In a tew years, due to the steady increase in the size of the high school student body, the Mcintosh Building will be extended east until it squares with the heating plant. The original plans of the building call- ed for the extension but war prices at the time of building necessitated curtailing the size. The space between the Mcintosh Building and the Alumni Gym- nasium is cemented and is used as parking space for students ' cars. The arrangement and architecture of the building are pleasing to the eye. The architecture is simple and American and gives an air of quiet dignity. One is attracted and invited to enter. Graduates will remember always the pleasant and profitable days in classrooms and will thrill again wiien they recall some of the royal contests in the gymnasium. Bmmm Administration A four ijear search for know- ledge is tedious. A mere cogniz- ance of facts is often- lacking in color, even with a competent group of advisers. Fortunately, however, our quest for enlightenment has been compcu-atively pleasant, for the facidty has from the beginning taken a deep interest in our pro- gress, to an extent fa) ' beyond that required. Each e.vtra-cuii-icular activity has been encouraged by some faculty member. Now at the desinence of their High School car- eer, the Seniors can visualize the extent of the Faculty ' s assistance. School Board II. L. Brown Mr. Brown is one of Auburn ' s most, enthusiastic basketball fans and has clone much at the games to prompt enthusiasm in others. As a member r.nd secretary of our School Board he ii indispensible. Willis Rhoads Mr. Rhoads is another Auburn High School enthusiast and has the interest of the school always at heai ' t. It is with the greatest respect that his ideas for the good of the school are received. H. W. Timbrook Mr. Timbrook is noted for his reliability and dependability regard- ing all affairs of the school. It takes Mr. Timbrook. as the third member, to complete our ideal School Board. Mr. Timbrook along with Mr. Brown has served the school several years. The Board has continuously given the people of Auburn an honest and capable administration. r 1930 - Faculty H. L. McKenney, B. S., A. B. Superintendent Valpaiaiso Unirersiti] Wisconsin University Indiana University University of Chicago University of Cincinnati Another trait of Mr. McKenney ' s as brought to light this year — liis musical ability. It would be hard to find any superintendent who knows every student under his supervision so well, who is so universally well liked, and whose every thought is for the good of his school. Clerk E. F. Fribley DePauw University Columbia University It it were not for Mr. Fribley ' s clear thinking, square deals, and good sportsmanship theories and practicet Auburn High ' s standard would not be so far above par. The Seniors, having tour years of association with him, find there is no one like him. History Kraiik W. Weathers, A. B. DePauw University Muncie Normal University of Chicago Again Skeet has tried new me- thods most of which have worked out Ruccessfully. It is thought by some that according to indications from his depictions Mr. Weathers should take up art! As Junior class adviser he brought another class through with liyiiig colors. 4 Lloyd Miller, A. University of Michigan Tri-State College Quiet, but always smiling. Mr. Miller teaches citizenship and Sopho- more history. He came to Auburn High from Ashley where he taught last year. It might be well to notice that in an Auburn-Ashley game he yells for Auburn and hopes she wins for personal reasons. Maude S. Armstrong Michigan State Normal College Sjiracuse University U)iiversity of Chicago Latin is not more difficult than other subjects when taught by one who is so thoroughly acquainted with the subject as Miss Armstrong. Her fourth year students have found Ver- gil a most interesting subject. English Gladys Duguid, A. B. Indiana Universitu University of Michigan Columbia University Quiet and unassuming, Miss Du- guid nevertlieless gets results from her Freshman, Junior, and Senior classes. This year she had the larg- est French class she has ever taught. It is really remarkable some of the work her Freshmen English classes have accomplished. Carol Dawson, A. B., A. Tri-State College University of Chicago Indiana University Miss Dawson is never too busy to hillp someone. Almost anytime of the ' Sffy. you may find her at her desk i usily marking Junior and Senior English papers or listening to the hun- dred and one students reciting. Sue Morton, A. B. DePau w University Univo ' Hity of Wisconsin No)-thivestern University Due to illness Miss Morton was unable to be with us all year. She made a go of all she attempted: Sophomore class adviser, Faculty ad- viser of the Chatterbox Staff, and di- rector of the play, The Whole Town ' s Talking. Vocational Cliaiies (1. Hornaday, A. B. S. Pin-diw Uiiireisitji Although not very talkative it id thought that Mr. Hornaday gets the full benefit of the gossip that ensues in the corridors at noon. The rewards won by his agriculture boys prove that all his instructions has been pro- litalile. Martha Jenkins, B. S. LouisicDia State Noi-nial Ivdiana State N( r ial it has been tliroui;!! Miss Jen- kins ' efforls that the 1-1 1 Club h;is kepi up an able record. Hilda Kreft, B. S. Purdue Univefsiti Always pleasant — never too busy to have some fun — that ' s Miss Kreft all over. Her Home Economics girls could tell you that she ' s one of the best pals and teachers combined that ever came their way. Commercial Clyde M. Gumpp Manchester College Indiana University Drake Universitii Indiana State Normal Although business is his job, Mr. Gumpp likes a joke as well as anyone. This year he has done something that is quite unusual for Auburn High School — he has brought to light some really good boy bookkeepers. Ruth Anne Foulke, A. Earlham College University of Chicago University of Wisconsin Due to the fact that Miss Foulko lias taken over all the typing classes this year she has spent most of her time proving to her students that ac- curacy counts. All in school consider her their special friend. Science Robert Schooley, A. B., A. M. Indiana State Normal University of Marseilles, Marseilles, France Indiana University There ' s something wrong if Mr. Schooley hasn ' t a story to tell to his class. It is worth a whole day ' s school to attend just one of his classes and to get the benefit of his humor along with the science instruction. e r Mathematics Donald ( ' oar, A. B. Indiana Universitij Unireysitii of Wisconsin Coar not only teaches mathema- tics but coaches a winning second team. To all reports, those who ride with him to and from the out-of-town games are shown the time of their li es. He is a good sport when with the boys. Manual Training Isaac Cosper Tri-State College Purdue Univevsitii Wisconsin Un ive)-sitii Mr. Cosper is noted for the fact that he changes his mind frequently and is one of the most enthusiastic fans of the Noon League games. He is well liked by all the boys who have taken woodwork under his instruc- tion. Art Lydia Sellers Chicago A)i Institute Teachers ' College, India)iapolis Applied Art School, Chicago Butler Universitij To be In Miss Seller ' s art classes has always been a pleasure, due most- ly to her pleasing ways. • It was under her direction that the posters for the play and operetta and the unique art work of the Follies was put out. 1 Physical Education Ceoil Young, A. B. DePaii IV Uniuei ' sitij U iiin ' r: ' dil of lUhio ' i U nireisitij of MichUjaii Coach Young teaches his boys fair play and sportsmanship not only to be practiced in his classes but everywhere. Mucli of the credit for the success of this year ' s basketball team is. given to Coach Young. Thelma Hendriclis, A. B. Tri-State College Ball Teachers ' College Univer.sitjj of Wisconshi Burkie with her chicken din- ner proposition, hard training and good material put out the best girls ' basketball team the school has ever claimed. She introduced dancing and a Round Robin tourney in her gym classes which stimulated interest of the girls. Music Clarice McKinney Northwestern University DePatiw University Eraiisville College Mac, this year ' s smallest ac- quisition to the faculty, has proved that those southerners have a few things to teach us. She ' s the one who put out the winning chorus and made The Wishing Well so enjoyable. She has won over the hearts of every- one this year with her big, ready smile. Summary of Administration Auburn IUkIi School oilers four curriculi: College lOnI rau ' w. Commercial, Vocational Agriculture, Vocational Home Economics. The College Entrance Curriculum is the regular series of academic subjects and is planned for those students who consider going to col- lege. The other three curriculi are vocational in nature. Shop, art, and music are also offered. Four years of physical education are now required, which ai ' e expected to be active gymnastic work. However, students physically disabled may reduce their physical education to one half unit and must take two years in health education. Doctors ' certificates are required of all disabled students. A year of citizenship is required for graduation. This may be the freshmen course in citizenship or the senior civics and economics. Three years of English are required. These must be freshmen, sopho- more, and junior units. This year Miss Foulke taught typewriting. In previous years both Miss Foulke and Mr. Gumpp taught it. Mr. Gumpp taught all the bookkeeping, salesmanship, shorthand, and business English classes. Miss Morton taught a half year course in public speaking the first se- mester. Miss Armstrong taught Virgil this year and will offer Cicero next year. Mr. Miller, Miss Kreft, and Miss McKinney were the new mem- bers of the faculty this year. They replaced Miss Brackmier, Miss Markley, and Miss Hixon. Due to the decrease in pupils taking some subject and the in- crease in students in other subjects, a number of classes were changed. As an example of this, bookkeeping had three classes this year in l)lace of one last year. Botany and physical geography were dropped from the curricu- lum. Next year biology will be put in as a sophomore science. All freshmen may now take citizenship, instead of botany, in order to satis- fy the citizenship requirement for graduation. The total enrollment for the year has been three hundred sixty- five, the largest student body Auburn High School has ever had. This year ' s graduate group of seventy-six is the largest the school has had. The Administration has purposefully made for a good school morale. The year has been marked by a cordial cooperation of faculty and students. 22 - The Follies of 1  Classes The advent of each school near finds a new group of pupils, called. Freshmen, striving to unearth for thei)- own satisfaction, the muster- ies of their new home. The toilers are assisted by three groups al- ready experienced in the great ex- cavation for knowledge: the Soph- omores, Juniors, a)id Seniors. These entertain the newcomers roijally, di) ' ecti)ig them into the fields of education. The folloiving pages give an insight into the ac- tivities of the four classes.

S. 1-2-3-4; Vocational Clul) 1-2; Honor (ii ' oup 4; Glee Club 4. Helen never has very much to say. She is a very studious girl and makes good grades. She is a good sport in everything and takes part not only in commercial work but also in athletics. Helen Snyder A. H. S. 1-2-3-4; A. A. 1-2-3-4; Glee Club 3; Commer- cial Group 3; Honor Group 1-2; Basketball 1-3; Chatterbox 2-3-4; Follies Staff 4; History Club 3-4.

What better combination than this could you ask? Until Hai ' nhart A. H. S. 1-2-3-4; A.

Although Ruth is a rather quiet, de- mure, little blonde, the contest chorus and double quartette would have been lost without her as their able pianist. She surely has pep when it comes to operettas. Ethelyn Anthony A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. As unhurried and as quiet a person as Ethelyn is seldom without friends. She is always to be seen driving over the streets in her car. One seldom finds her without her studies fully prepared. ' iri inia Haker A. H. S. 1-2-3-4: A.

Jaint ' s IJalzer A. H. S. 1-2-3-4; A. A. 1-2-3-4; Footl):ill 1-2-3; Basketball 2: Track 1; Follies Staff 4. Little but mighty. What could be done without Jim? His tal- ents and ability have led him far beyond the realms of study. He cul- tivates all of the fine arts. He is deserving of much credit for the out- standing work he has done. Kuth llaitles A. II. S. 1-2-3-4; A. A. 1-2-3-4; Basketball 1-2-3-4; Follies Staff 4; Vocational Club 1-2-3. Ruth is one of these good basketball guards, envied by all girls.

Sergeant-at-arms 4. A football player in every sense of the word. A diligent work- er and manners beyond compare. He ' s always the same and always cheerful.

But he gratiously has saved his friends many walks home. licrtha M. Bowman A. H. S. 1-2-3-4; A. A. 1; Commercial Group 3; Glee Club 4.

To accomplish things you must act, and not sit around and read about the past. He spends most of his study time trying to decide whether he should get his lessons or do something useful! We will leave you to figure out his choice. Harold Davidson A. A. 1-2-3-4; Baseball 1-2: Football 1-2-3-4, Captain 4 -4, Captain 4; Agricultural Club 1-2-3-4, President 2-3; Track 1-2-3-4; Hi-Y 4; A.

( alviii (Ji ' osciip A. H. S. l-l ' -:!-l; A. A. l-2-: 4; Football l-2-;;-l; liaskctliall 1; Track 2-:!-4. Where, oh! where, would our football rating fall if it were not for Cal? He is huge and his size aided greatly in defense. If you would inquire into his private affairs you might find that his interests are not entirely in athletics. l -rii ' (lt-(l - (iiiild A. H. S. 2-;!-4; A. A. 4; Glee Club 3-4; Histofy Clul) 3-4; Operetta 3; liaskelball I. Surely Bernedette ' s red hair does not represent her nature. She has been interested in many activities about school among which were basketball and Glee Club. A tall girl with red hair is bound to make her way in tlie world.

A. 1-2-3-4; Basketball 2-3-4; Football 2-3-4; Track 1. Shorty went to school here one year and then went to Arizona. He knew A. H. S. missed him so he only stayed away one year. He has fought many battles on athletic fields and Auburn High is proud of him. Shorty is one of the tallest boys in the Senior class and he has proved that his height is worth something. The J I Violet Hay A. H. S. 1-2-3-4 ; A. A. 1-2-4 ; Ba.skelball 4 : Vocational Club 1-2. A little dark haired girl who skips around making new friends all the time. That is Violet. During her school career she was a much interested member of the Vocational Club. Better be little and shine, than be big and cast a shadow. liiK ' ilU ' Howcy A. H. S. 1-2-3-4; Vocational 1-2. Lucille is a basketball enthusiast along with her oth er interests. Her good sportsmanship wins the approval of all. Friends and ac- quaintances alike admire her because she is herself.

During the four year expedition old records have been broken and all high school treasures have been at least tapped. Every book in the library has been kept dusted; dramatic, literary, and music activities delved into, and athletic events parred with those of the old C! reeks. The most prominent of sports was basketball in which Harold Davidson, Kurt Rastenburg, Fred Quance, George Stebing, Harry Hathaway, Robert Thimlar, and Homer Freeman proved their worth. The class also contributed its share to the girls ' basketball team with Ruth Bartles, Betty Lige, Hilda Harris, Helen Snyder, Marium Weid- ner, Barbara Sanders, Geneva Martin, Marcelle Carper, Bernadette Guild, and Virginia Baker. Then there was the age old game of football to which the class of ' 30 olt ' ered Clair Timberlin, Harold Davidson, George Stebing, Ar- thur Hipskind, Harry Hathaway, William Hunter, Earl Thomson, Homer Freeman, Robert Thimlar. Hebel Groscup, and Fred Quance. In the track and field e ents Stebing, H. Davidson, E. Blum, Quance, Thomson, Timberlin, Hipskind, and Groscup brought to light their ability as athletes. Hasn ' t your class done anything but engage in athletic events? is a question that might be asked. The whole group has gone through A. H. S. with the determination to win in everything, in studies as well as athletics and all other types of contests. The class has a high stand- ing in grades. Myrtle Sockrider, Earl Thomson, Wilma Becker, Bar- bara Brandon, and I uth Clement have well represented the class of ' 30 on the honor roll. The double quartette chose several of its members from this prominent class. Those lucky few were Joanna Fink, Marjorie Shew- maker, and Virginia Baker. Frances Fredericks and Ruth Bartles had formerly been in this group. Ru-th made an excellent pianist in the sexeral contests between Auburn and other schools of the county. The annual Contest Chorus, too, uncovered to the light of music the voices of Jewell Darling, Princess George, Josephine Weaver, Vir- ginia Baker, Joanna Fink. Marjorie Shewmaker, Frances Frederick, Geraldine Ratrie, LuEda Beurett, Barbara Sanders, and Naomi LaMar. Ruth Bartles, Ruth Clement, LaVon Showers, Frances Saltsman, and Marietta Long sang in the Chorus last year. Then there were the operettas in which the class of ' 30 display- ed much of its talent to the public. Jewell Darling, Marion Trovinger, Robert Weaver, and Virginia Baker took leads in In Arcady, and Marion Trovinger and Robei-t Weaver did tlieir best to portray two of the character parts of Peggy and the Pirate. Of course, the class did its share in the choruses of these operettas, and Barbara Sanders worked faithfully in coaching dances for all of them. In the plays the class exhibited its singular radiance. Joanna Fink, Ward McCallister, Glenn Rieke, Robert Weaver, Ruth Barnhart, Roy Shoudel, and Edward Blum took parts in The Boomerang, and Glenn Rieke, Edward Blum, Virginia Baker, Marjorie Shewmaker, Princess George, Richard Davidson, Jewell Darling, Geraldine Ratrie, Ruth Barnhart, Elizabeth Kingsley, and Roy Shoudel represented the class in The Whole Town ' s Talking. In oratory Glenn Rieke took first place in the county and in discussion Edward Blum took first place thus again bringing honor to the class and school. This class of ' 30 was journalistically inclined with Helen Snyder, Marjorie Shewmaker, Arthur Hipskind, Joanna Fink, Barbara Sanders, Randall Smith, Virginia Baker, Hilda Harris, Barbara Brandon, Eliza- beth Kingsley, Ruth Clement, Ruth Barnhart, and Roy Shoudel repre- senting it on the Chatterbox Staff. The class of 1930 had entered Auburn High School in 192 6 with great ambitions. Davidson, Stebing, Groscup took their places on the football squad, and Davidson, Stebing, and Hathaway on the basket- ball squad. Representing the class in music and journalism were Joanna Fink, Virginia Baker, Barbara Sanders, Jewell Darling and others. The beginning of the scond year in High School the class elected Marion Trovinger, Virginia Baker, Joanna Fink, and Randall Smith to lead them. A Christmas play was given by the class, and there were more of the members engaged in all sports than from any other class. As Juniors the class of 1930 dominated athletics, and played a large part in journalism and dramatics. Randall Smith, Princess George, Joanna Fink, and Marjorie Shewmaker were the leaders in this search for toil and pleasure. In their last year, these students of the class of ' 3 have found themselves claiming another honor for their group: the largest gradu- ating class the school has ever had. Twelve boys in football, eight boys in basketball, and twelve of the track squad will be missing in 1931. Dramatics lose many, and the oratorical and discussion repre- sentatives will have gone. It must be repeated that this class of ' 30, active in every extra- curricular activity, still kept up its scholastic standard, and one might truthfully say that it has been the largest and most all around class ever to have gone through the school life of Auburn High School.

They must select a few trusted members to do this. The Seniors had as their president, Arthur Hipskind; Vice Presi- dent, George Stebing: Jewell Darling, Secretary; and Joanna Fink, Treasurer. These people cooperated nicely and worked well for tlie good of the class. The Juniors were led by Joe Sprott, James Huffman, Edward Welch, and Robert Lumm. The Sophomores enjoyed a successful season under Webster Albright, Ross Webb, Murray Carpenter, and Alice Brown, while Wes- ley Dwight, Robert Sprott, Lenore Williams, and Phyllis Eraser gave the Freshmen a start in their high school career. Class officers act as a student council. Matters of school inter- est, procedure, and administration at times are submitted to tlie class officer group. The annual drive for season basketball tickets is man- aged by the student officers. All class officers are elected by the popular vote of their class- men. Class mothers are also chosen who help the classes with their social functions. History of Classes In the autumn of 1!)26 the class of ' 30 arrived in High School. They were as unfamiliar with the ways and means of the new life as the Freshmen of former years. The principal, Mr. P ribley, along with the kind (you know the kind!) upper classmen, soon acquainted them with the customs of school. The first real meeting held by the class was for the purpose of electing their class officers. Those selected were: Marion Trovinger, President; Barbara Sanders, Vice President; Jewell Darling, Secretary; Lester See, Treasurer; and Miss Eagles, Class Adviser. The most outstanding event of their first year was a Hallowe ' en party held in the old gymnasium. Tw ' o plays were given by the more talented memliers of the class and everyone concluded a de- lightful evening by devouring pop corn balls, doughnuts, and cider. The class was well represented in athletics by Harold Davidson, George Stebing, Hebel Groscup, Kurt Rastenburg, Lester See, Hilda Harris, Helen Snyder, and Marium Weidner. After three months of delightful vacation these people returned to High School much wiser than they were the previous fall. They were now Sophomores. They chose Marion Trovinger again to lead them. He was aided by Virginia Baker as Vice President, Joanna Fink, Secretary, and Randall Smith, Treasurer. The interest in athletics had grown to a great extent. Those who took part were Fred Quance, Har- old Davidson, George Stebing, Kurt Rastenburg, Lester See, Randall Smith, Robert Thimlar, Homer Freeman, Dale Gosper, representing the boys and Virginia Baker, Ruth Bartles, Hilda Harris, Marium Weidner, Helen Snyder, Betty Lige as representatives of the girls. The annual class picnic at Hamilton Lake ended their successful school year. When the Sophomores entered school in the fall of ' 28 they dis- covered they were not the only class of importance. A new class had come forward to take their old places. This group was known as the class of ' 31. It was headed by Joe Miller as President, Helen Mayfield, Vice President, Virginia Brown, Secretary, and Robert Knott, Treas- urer. They also were known for their achievements in athletics. Mem- bers of the class were soon engaged in journalistic work. The following September the class of ' 30 returned for the Jun- ior Year. They selected Randall Smith, President; Princess George, Vice President; Joanna Fink, Secretary; Marjorie Shewanaker, Treas- urer. Mr. Coar was chosen class sponser. This was the most successful year the Juniors had achieved. The members gave a Junior-Senior play, a Junior Carnival, the Junior-Senior banquet at Potawatomi Inn and a picnic at Hamilton as a climax. The class of ' 31 had weathered the storm of the Freshman year Ihc and had become Sophomores. They elected Robert Raub, President; Virginia Brown, Vice President; Rachel Ball, Secretary; and Floyd Link, Treasurer. The athletes of this class were James Huffman, Ed- ward Welch, and Gorge Kee. Another class who came to join the ranks this year was known as the class of ' S2. This group was headed by Joe Davidson. The other officers were Harley Trovinger, Vice President; Vivian Refner, Secretary; and Sally Thimlar, Treasurer. The reception held in their honor made them feel at home. The summer passed again and the class of ' 30 entered High School for their last time. All three of the other classes were following closely behind. The Seniors held the first class meeting of the term. At this meeting they elected their officers for the year: Arthur Hipskind, Presi- dent; George Stebing, Vice President; Jewell Darling, Secretary; and Joanna Fink, Treasurer. Seniors were well represented in the Commercial Contest held at Kendallville, April 12. In shorthand were: Ruth Clement, Helen Snyder, and Myrtle Sockrider. They received first, second, and third places respectively. Those who took part in bookkeeping were: Wilma iBecker, Helen Smith, and Marcelle Carper. The one Senior in Typing was Barbara Brandon. The class of ' 31 came back as upper classmen. They chose as their leaders, Joe Sprott, President; James Huffman, Vice President; Edward Welch, Secretary; and Robert Lumm, Treasurer. Mr. Weath- ers was chosen as class adviser. They gave a most successful Junior Carnival and Junior-Senior Banquet. The Sophomores were more experienced in ways of school and were more successful. They elected Webster Albright, President; Murray Carpenter, Vice President; Ross Webb, Secretary; and Alice Brown, Treasurer. Alice Brown, Horace Clarke and several others entered the Literary Contest and brought honor to themselves and the school. The most recent class to enter High School is the class of ' 3 3. In their first meeting they elected Wesley Dwight, President; Robert Sprott, Vice President; Phyllis Fraser, Secretary; and Lenore Wil- liams, Treasurer. Miss Duguid was chosen class adviser. This class has won a name for itself through several of its members. Dwight and Rainier entered the Oratorical Contest and received high ratings. Mae Elene Craven won honor through her musical ability. Evelyn Mottinger had the honor of being the only Freshman girl in the Con- test Chorus. uburti, Iiicliaiii. —47— Looking Ahead It can he quits truthfully said that the class of ' 30 will leave many gaps in activities of Auburn High School. This is the largest and most ersatile class to graduate from A. H. S. But there are always others eagerly waiting to take the places of those who have left. Sadly the class of ' 3 gives up its place to tackle something harder and wish the underclassmen all the success of school life. Although the class of ' 31 has only a few outstanding members, those few and some others will step into place next year and do their part well. James Huffman, Ed Welch, Floyd Link, Ralph West, Bud Mcdure, Junior Fitzsimmons, and Arthur Drerup will probably take places on the basketball team. Virginia Brown, Rachel Ball, Virginia Dilgard, and Vi ian Elson will be back to do their share of the music. Richard Shook and Harold Yoder will compete for honors in oratory and discussion, respectively. The class of ' 32 has a large number of talented members who will, within the next year or so. show their worth. Vivian Refner, Rhoda Carper, Lela Miller, Ruth Groscup, Ben Short, Murray Carpen- ter, Webster Albright, Harley Trovinger, and Joe Davidson will show the school that they too are basketball players. The music honors in this class will be upheld by Betty McCuIlough, Iris Wimer, Ruth Gros- cup, Virginia Sanders, Marcelle Thimlar, and Alice Brow-n. Alice Brown is one of the most outstanding girls of the school due to the fact that she is one of the few girl editors of the Chatterbox A. H. S. has had and the first Sophomore editor the paper has ever had. Alice is Auburn ' s best reader also: she won second in the county this year. For two years Horace Clarke has taken first place in the county in the piano solo event; much may be expected of him in the future. The Freshman class this year did not put itself in the limelight but with a year or so more experience it will do many things for the school. Evelyn Mottinger was a member of the Contest Chorus. May Elene Craven and Hildamae Shearer entered the local contest for the piano solo, and Charles Rainier and Wesley Dwight entered in the dis- cussion contest. While these contestants did not receive first place in their respective contests, still they were helped by their experience. The future looks promising. The new class coming from Junior High School has ability. Auburn will carry on. — 4S- c£ .y GTMTE5 iL , T z - ; ' - c - .- ty ' The Activities TIic old G) ' eek scholar, Keekbiy recreation after a period of e.v- haustive thought, found it at the theatre.

Brandon, Blum Editorial The purpose of the Senior class in publishing a yearbook has not been wholly to experience the pleasure received from the labor involv- ed. It is more the answering to those two impelling force ' s, duty and desire. Each year the Senior class produces an Annual. These year- l)o()ks are logs, or record books, in marking tlie progress of this scliool. Wiien one leafs tlie pages of former Follies he can easily see tlie ad- vance ment that has been made by Auburn High School. As the scliooI has been bettered, the annuals have been improved. Each succeedin;? book has held some improvement over those previously published. It is therefore the duty of the Seniors to issue an annual, in order that the history of Auburn High School may have no missing chapters. A natural avidity to better all other Follies publications is the other motive in preparing this book. No one relishes the thought of falling below the standard of previous years. We have striven to make this a product of our desire. Thus it is The Follies of 193 has been created. It is put before the public with the hope that our efforts will be appreciated. Without able and willing assistance our endeavors would have been of little consequence. Mr. Fribley, as faculty advisor, offered at all times his valuable service and advice. The Auburn Greeting Card Company cooperated at all times in printing. Mr. Jones, the photogra- pher, gave us special attention, and the Fort Wayne Engraving Com- pany did excellent photo engraving work. Covers were supplied by the David J. Molloy Company of Chicago. -51— First row — Williams, Franks, Meek, Farley, Wimer, Brown, Sherer Second row — Thomson, W. Weaver, B. Brandon, Mayfield, Horde, Becker, Ball, Sock- rider, Dwight Honor Group Each year, it has been the custom of Auburn High to select an Honor Group to represent its scholastic interests. It is composed of the four students receiving the highest average grades in each of the four classes. The method by which they are chosen is very simple. The grades A counts as one point, B, two, C, three, and so on. The sixteen students having the lowest score are chosen. If there should happen to be a tie between two or more students, all are in- cluded in the group. The Honor Group is not a club or an organization of any kind. It corresponds to Honor Roll of the Chatterbox. Each six weelts the roll of those receiving two or more A ' s for that period is published. So the Honor Roll of the Follies is created to show which students ranked highest for the year. The purpose of the roll is to give to the students who excelled scholastically a merited honor. The Honor Group consists of the following, named in order of their class superiority: Seniors — Myrtle Sockrider, Earl Thomson, Wilma Becker, Bar- bara Brandon; Juniors — Rachel Ball, Emile Hord, Helen Mayfield, Wilma Weaver; Sophomores — Maxine Farley, Alice Brown, Iris Wimer, Nola Meek; Freshmen — Lenore Williams.

Although the course covers but one year, stu- dents are taught the fundamental principles and get a secure founda- tion for further study. Miss Sellers is capable of seeing beauty around her and appre- ciating it. She also has the faculty of getting her pupils to see with the mind ' s eye and create objects which are beautiful and exceeding- ly artistic. With the help of Miss Sellers many useful things are made for the home, such as lamp shades, scarfs, and wall hangings, and such personal articles as handkerchiefs. Other departments of Auburn High have found the art student an ever present help in time of need when posters were to be made for the high school play or operetta. The art work for the Annual is also furnished by the more ad- vanced members of the class. Commercial art is another phase of the class work in which unusual ability has been shown.

The members chosen to carry on the work for the first semester were: Miss Sue Morton, Editor-General; Randall Smith, Editor-in- Chief; Joanna Fink, Associ ate Editor; Arthur Hipskind, Business Man- ager; Joe Sprott, Advertising Manager; and Glen Rieke, Circulation Manager. The Chatterbox sent delegates to the Indiana High School Press Association at Franklin in October. Miss Morton, Alice Brown, Glen Rieke, Arthur Hipskind, and Webster Albright represented the school. At the end of the first semester an election was held and a new- staff was chosen. The major staff is: Miss Morton, Editor-General; Alice Brown, Editor-in-Chief; Robert Lumm, Associate Editor; Vir- ginia Dilgard. News Editor; Maxine Farley, Feature Editor; Virginia Brown, Athletics; Joe Sprott, Athletics; Virginia Sanders, Society; Iris Wimer, Exchange; Lydia Renz, Jokes; Betty McCullough, Vocational; Joe Davidson, Vocational; Webster Albrightt, Business Manager; Wes- ley Dwight, Advertising Manager; Robert Graham, Circulation Man- ager.

It consists of students of history and economics having an average grade of C or above. Mr. Frank Weathers, history instructor, organized the club in 1921 with an aim that was both educational and social. He has been the faithful sponsor through all the succeeding years. The meetings are held bi-weekly, on Wednesday evening. Var- ied programs are given. They include book reviews, reports of the habits and customs of different countries studied, and playlets. One program that was especially interesting, and the one that drew the largest attendance during the past year was the presentation of The Naturalization of Tony De Prato which characterized the for- eigner going through the process of law necessary to become an Ameri- can citizen. Forty-nine members were present on this occasion. The social part of each program gives the students a less ser- ious attitude toward life and concludes with eats which are the joy of youth! The officers were: President, Roy Shoudel; Vice President, Prin- cess George; Secretary and Treasurer, Virginia Baker; and Publicity, Joanna Fink.

The purpose of the club is to promote a deeper interest in higa standards of Cliristian character, to foster a closer friendsltip and har- mony between its members and to encourage social interest. At the first meeting the officers and supervisors were chosen. They are: President, Virginia Dilgard; Vice President, Virginia Brown; Secretary, Virginia Baker: and Treasurer, Helen Mayfleld. Mrs. Hen- dricks was chosen sponsor. Her co-workers are Mrs. W. C. McBrido representing the mothers, and Mr. H. G. Krider, the Y. M. C. A. Professional men and women gave interesting and helpful tallts on various subjects at the weekly meetings. A typical one was given by Mrs. Craven on Character Building. She named three necessary stepping stones in gaining a desirable character. They are lionesty, truth, and dependability. Among the many things done this year was the holding of a Bake Sale at the Confectionery. Enough money was raised for the necessary expenditures of the club and a small amount left to replenish the treasury. irn. Inv —56— Fi) ' sf vote — Mr. Fribley, Weaver, Rieke, Blum.

The leadership of such an organization is always one of the most difficult tasks, but the boys chose capable leaders in Presldenf, William Hunter: Vice President, Edward Blum; Secretary. Clair Tim- berlin; and Treasurer, George Stebing; Sponsors, Mr. Fribley and Mr. Krider. . The weekly luncheons have been filled with beans and num- erous talks and discussions by the various business men of the town. In previous years the club has emphasized the social side of school life, but owing to the organization of so many clubs for that purpose it has been found impossible to put on the usual number of banquets and parties. There was, however, one money-making event. It took place during the Christmas holidays. The boys gave a raffle and a large twenty pound turkey was offered. The students and the townspeople were interested in helping the Hi-Y fellows reach their goal. The pro- coeds amounted to twenty-seven dollars. Bottom rote — Baker, Wyatt, Lfucli. IK.II.

The membership depends upon the ability to pass certain tests in voice. The members of the Glee Club have appeared on various pro- grams and their songs were always given hearty applause. Their sel- ections were greatly appreciated and enjoyed b y the Parent-Teachers Association before which they frequently sang. Some of the selections most popular this year were Carmena by Wilson, The Green Cathedral by Hahn, Swing Along by Cook, I Passed by Your Window by Brahe, and Spring by Boutelle. There was an enrollment of tifty girls in the Club this year. Fi ' om the number Miss McKinney chose the Double Quartette and twenty-two girls for the Contest Chorus. She seemed to have an art for choosing because the Chorus received tirst in the County Meet and the quartette was awarded second place. The operetta cast was also selected from the group of girls in the club who had shown excejUionally good work along the line of music. 5S— First roic — Ratrie, Barnhart, Weaver, V. Saiuiers, B.

Brown, Wimer Contest Chorus Twenty-four girls were selected by Miss McKinney from the Glee Club to form the Contest Chorus which represented Auburn in tlie County Literary and Musical contest. The composition agreed upon by the Contest Chorus girls was made up of three parts. The song chosen was The Venetian Love Song, by Ethelbert, a tuneful and melodic number. Contrary to the usual custom Auburn and Garrett did not meet in a separate contest. Instead they met with the other schools of the county in a contest on March 21, which the Auburn girls won. A large loving cup was won by the Chorus in the county contest. This is the second year this cup has been awarded to Auburn and it now remains the property of the school. Members of the chorus are: 1st sopranos: Iris Wimer, Virginia Baker, Josephine Weaver, Jewell Darling, Princess George, Virginia Dilgard, Vivian Elson, Betty McCullough; 2nd sopranos: Virginia Sanders, Marjorie Shewmaker, Joanna Fink, Frances Frederick, Alice Brown, LuEda Beuret, Geraldine Ratrie; Altos: Ruth Groscup, Mar- celle Thimlar, Rachel Ball, Naomi LaMar, Evelyn Mottinger, Barbara Sanders.

As practice makes perfect, the group ought to be quite outstanding in the coming year. Miss McKinney, who has an excellent knowledge of the differ- ent instruments, has directed the orchestra quite successfully through- out the year. It has furnished the music for the Junior-Senior play, and for the operetta. Anyone in high school is eligible. The interest shown by the members during 192 9-3 has improved the organization and assures marked development for next year. The orchestra has two practice periods of forty-five minutes each week. During this time they have worked with music of an out- standing type. Those who compose the personell of the orchestra are: flute, Vivian Elson; saxophone. Dale Lockwood, and Charles Rose; cornets, John Harris, and Russell Herrick; clarinets.

The first meet was held at the Auburn M. E. Church on March 21. The events were oration, discussion, essay, vocal solo, and contest chorus. The second meet was held March 2 8. The events at this one were reading, piano solo, and double quartette. Teams from Ashley, St. Joe, Garrett, Spencerville, Waterloo, Butler, and Auburn took part. Auburn won five firsts, two seconds, and a third. Glenn Rieke with his oration on the Constitution won first place in the oratorical event. Edward Blum far surpassed his opponents with his discussion on Does Indiana Need a New Constitution. These two events are the most important. The county winner of each may go on to higher meets. The chorus won its event with the selection The Venetian Love Song. The double quartette won second place with Morning by Iley Speaks. The quartette was composed of Virginia Baker, Iris Wim- er, Marjorie Shewmaker, Joanna Fink, Ruth Groscup, Gwendolyn Hughes, Rachel Ball, and Virginia Brown. Alice Brown won second in the reading contest with China Blue Eyes. In Italy was the selection sung by Virginia Baker. She received third place.

The group is not organized for social or business purposes, but is formed to provide entrants to the commercial contests and other scholastic achievements. The first commercial contest in which the group took part this year was held April 12 in Kendallville. Winners from this contest participated in the state finals held at Ball Teachers College in Muncie. Indiana, April 26. The teams were composed of three students from each of the three commercial subjects. In former years the typing classes were instructed by both Mr. Gumpp and Miss Foulke. Due to the increase in the number of stu- dents taking commercial training, all of the typing classes were super- vised by Miss Foulke while Mr. Gumpp taught the classes in shorthand and bookkeeping. The success attained by the students has been due largely to the efforts of those two instructors. The students in the group representing the various events were: Typing — Barbara Brandon, Wilma Weaver, Cleon Frank, Emile Hord, Audrey Hook, Delores Boren, Ethel Grogg, Dorothy Madden; Short- hand — Myrtle Sockrider, Helen Smith, Helen Snyder, Ruth Clement.

It has an adequate supply of materials and equipment to make the department one of the best in high scliool. Manual Training has been considered a Freshman subject since 1919, tliough a student in any class may take it. Students spend the first semester of each school year in learning instructions concerning mechanical drawings, and in text book work. The second semester they do bench and cabinet work and wood turning. After tlie students have completed their required work, sufficient time is left to allow them to complete some original project. This gives them practice in origi- nating and planning new creations, adds interest to the work, and aids them in manual training lines. The class helps the school by making benches for boys ' and girls ' dressing rooms, by making cabinets, repairing broken desks and chairs, and by making the equipment and other necessities needed in the presentation of the high school plays and operettas. One of the most interesting accomplishments of the class is the erecting of the additional room to the shop. This new space adds to the convenience of the scholars.

The following won first prizes at the state fair: Mary Krise, first year sewing; Mildred Huff, second year sewing; Katherine Mough- ler, third year sewing; Mary Krise, first year baking; and Ruth Free- man, second year baking. In the January Round-Up at Purdue, Katherine Moughler took fifth prize, Mildred Huff took eleventh, and Ruth Freeman, Honor- able Mention. A project of this club was the selling of candy at noons and after school hours to high school students, under the supervision of Miss Kreft, A feature during October was the entertaining of the Vocational Boys with a Hallowe ' en Party. Expenses of the department were defrayed by selling confec- tions at the basketball and tournament games. Also, a bake sale was held in January.

He is a Senior. In previous years lie had won a trip to Purdue, one to the State Fair and other lesser awards too numer- ous to mention. He reached his cli- max this season by winning a trip to Washington, D. C, with all expenses paid. Howard Emme Vocational Airaiuls Howard merits a place in this sec- tion by winning twenty-two ribbons, as a result of participating in both county and state contests. His corn exhibi ts and his farm management manuals showed exceptional talent and careful work. He should make a very good farmer because he has both the theoretical and practical sides of farming. He was also a prize winner in live stock raising. Edward Blum Discussion Auburn High School was repre- sented in the county and district con- tests in discussion by Edward. His subject was Does Indiana Need a New Constitution? He won first place in the county contest. We all are sorry that he will not be on the stage for A. H. S. next season when the contest opens again. special Awards Horace Clarke Piano Solo Horace won for A. H. S. a second cup representing a first place in tlie County Piano Contest. His playing is an excellent type and as he is a Sopho- more, he can be relied upon to win twice yet, and perhaps advance far in the District and State contests. This year his winning selection was one of Beethoven ' s sonatas. Ruth Barnhart Typing Award Ruth was the most talented typ- ing student in her class. She was a member of the commercial group that represented A. H. S. in the commer- cial contests. Her biggest achieve- ment was in winning the ten dollar gold piece given by the Woman ' Pro- fessional Club for the most efflcient commercial student. Glenn Rieke Omtonj Glenn ' s achievements were splen- did in spite of the limited previous ex- perience he had had. He had a well constructed speech on the Constitu- tion of the United States. The county contest was not difficult for Glenn ro win, but he lost the District meet. After listening to his speech, we feel that the best man doesn ' t always win. Auhuri ' —69— School Banking A penny saved is a penny earned. Each Tuesday during the school year every member of Auburn High Scliool followed this motto. The Seniors started out on the first bank day with 100% and kept up this standard on through the whole year. Ever since the fourth week of school all four classes succeeded In banking 100%. A contest between the classes was held. The winning class had the privi- lege of choosing between being entertained and furnishing the enter- tainment themselves. Seventeen cashiers in the school collected the deposit slips be- fore the money was taken to the City National Bank. The banking was done during the first period each Tuesday. Katheryn Scott, Wanita Rinehold, Hilda Mae Shearer, Esther Young, and Nora Mae Carr were Freshmen cashiers: William Mock, Iris Wimer, Woodrow Drerup, Reath Phillips, and Georgia Musser — Sophomore; Rachel Ball, Lela Provines, Emile Hord, Robert Graham — Juniors; and Hilda Harris, June Peters, and Agnes Shine — Senior cashiers. .V The thrift program is of practical purpose in stimulating acti- vities and is of great educational value. Every time except the first month, Auburn High School rated 100% on the Honor Roll of the Thrift Almanack, a pamphlet published five times during the school year to encourage school banking. It is the hope of the school that tlio oncoming classes of A. H. S. will help keejj up this record. —70— AfflLEnCS ., ' ' ' Athletics Football, basketball, track: eacli sport has its own enthusiasts. Squads of e)iei ' getic boys dig up the sod, shoot at the basket, or bu)n the cinder track. Auburn High is fortunate in being represented by hard plai ing, sports-minded, cap- able athletes. We have attempted to imbue these pages ivith the spirit of these students. Aubt-iri —71- Coach Young Zeke has held the destinies of Auburn High Squads for several years. He has succeeded in sending lour teams to the finals of the region- al tourneys, but has been nosed out by a tew points from being allowed to participate in the state meets. He made the best record that has been had in football since its re-establish- ment, losing but one game. His track team succeeded in winning the North- eastern Indiana conference champion- ship. Athletic Association All students purchasing season basketball tickets and all stu- dents on athletic squads are considered as members of the Athletic Association. All problems that arise in reference to athletics are the concern of the Association. The students have the management of the Association, but two of the Faculty are counted as officials. Students who held positions as officers were Harold Davidson, President; Hilda Harris, Secretary; and William Hunter, Business Manager. Mr. Schooley was treasurer, and Mr. Fribley was the faculty supervisor. Each handled his position capably. Bill had charge of pep sessions and accompanied the team on all trips. II. Davidson, Ilimtor, Hai ' ris, Sohooloy Coach Hendricks Burkie ' s third year as coach of the girl ' s team has heen a repeti- tion of her first. Her team lost one game in twenty played. They were defeated once and won once from the 192 9 state championship team, Wa- bash. Thus Auburn was tied with Wabash for the state championshi)) this year. Mrs. Hendricks has ciiarge of gym classes, and instills her pupils with the same pep that has put her basketball teams into prominence in Northern Indiana. Yell Leaders and Basketball Captains Harold Davidson led both the football and basketball teams this year. His playing in both sports was worthy of notice. He will be absent from the squads next year. Hilda Harris was captain of the girls ' basketball team for the second time. Through her steady playing and example she led her team to a tie for the State Championship. For the first time in several years A. H. S. had but one yell leader. Vernon Shaw was that one: none other was necessary. His agility and his earnestness made him a capable leader. He will be on hand next year with the same pep, agility, and enthusiasm that carried the teams through exciting moments this year. H. Davidson, Harri.s, H. Davidson, Shaw Boys ' Team George Stebing, Jitd A steady, fast, and dependable llooi- i;uard is lost in Stebing. He bas played four years on tbe squad. He captained the team bis junioi- year. Kurt Rastenburg, Kurt Kurt has finished bis last year with Au- burn. He was a valuable man for tbe team in his backguard position, steadying tbe team in exciting moments. Fred Quance, Freddy For tbe second consecutive year Freddy has been the high point man of tbe team. He will be absent from tbe squad next year. James Huffman, Jim This is Jim ' s second year on tbe squad. He has played in every game and will be de- pended upon next year in a forward or center position. Harry Hathaway, Shorti Shorty has seldom failed to get the tip for Auburn. He is able to reach to a surpris- ing height. His under-the-basket shots in tbe Sectional Tourney were valuable in our victory. Boys ' Team Edward Welch, Eddie Eddie was one of the three juniors on tlie squad this year. He is a fast player and a good shot. Next year he will he a regular. Homer Freeman, Mose It was always a difflcult task to prophesy who would start a game, Mose or Kurt. Mose succeeded in making the squad his Senior year and proved a steady and hard working player. Robert Thimlar, Bob This was Bob ' s second and last year on the squad. He was a splendid shot and a strategist. Richard McClure, Bud Bud was not handicapped by his lack of height. He played the center position and played it well. He is the third junior on the squad. Webster Albright, Web The only sophomore on the squad, Web handled himself well in his first year of var- sity competition. He plays floorguard. Al- bright drives hard all the time he is on the floor. -75— Summary of Season After two weeks of ])ractice Coach Young took his team to Ash- ley where the Auburn archeologists defeated their opponents l)y a good score, November N. The Butler team was our guest the next week. It was unable to cope with Auburn ' s line of defense and left our team on the long end of the score. The team met Angola, November 22, and at the end of 40 min- utes of good playing downed its old ri als, thus taking home the victory keg which Angola held for several months. The Auburn teams next contested the Decatur Yellow Jackets who came to Aubu rn bearing a grudge acquired in a football game there. This fast team defeated us by four points. This was our Thanksgiving game, November 27. The archeologists uncovered a priceless treasure when they de- feated South Side of Fort Wayne in a real game of basketball on Dec- ember 6. The crack of the gun gave Auburn a five point victory. The Auburn squad took it ' s fifth victory when it met Wawaka December 7. Score 3 9-19. Auburn ' s luck changed when Huntington won a well-earned victory over them on December 13. Both teams displayed fine basket- ball but our team lacked the drive necessary to come out on top. Score 29-33. The squad traveled north to meet LaGrange on the 14th and added another game to its treasures, 53 to 29. Kendallville visited us December 20, and ended the tilt by beat- ing the Auburn goal diggers 23-12. Auburn met the Columbia City Eagles on their floor, Decembei ' 31, and gained revenge for the defeat the Eagles handed us in last year ' s tourney in Garrett. Auburn won 49 to 36. The following Friday the squad ventured to Bluffton where it was defeated in a close contest, 3 3-3 7. The game was a thriller from start to finish but Auburn was unable to hold the Bluffton five in the last few minutes of play. Central of Fort Wayne came into our territory, January 10, to claim a victory. At the end of the regular playing period Auburn had tied the score at 38 all. In the overtime battle Central scored two bas- kets from the field to Auburn ' s one field goal and a free throw which gave the visitors a victory of one point. January 17, the team traAeled south to Decatur where they were defeated by a small margin. The Yellow Jackets covered up the Auburnites who were unable to regain their old fight. A glorious victory over our old rivals, Kendallville, was the be- ginning of a successful run of games. Date: January 24. Score: 34-29. Wolf Lake brought her five basketeers to Auburn on January 25 only to be defeated 44 to 18, Our dear rivals and neighbors of the Railroad City challenged us to a game which proved a surprise for them. Our archeologists cov- ered them well, swamping Garrett 4 5-2 2. Score was 9 to before Ga.r- rett got hold of the ball. The next Friday, February 7, found Angola over here after the big treasure, the victory keg. But Angola was forced to return unsuc- cessful, defeated 42-24. A team of Redskins came from North Side of Fort Wayne to stage a thrilling combat with the Auburnites. Five minutes to go the score stood Auburn 31 and North Side 1 5. During the next three min- utes Fort Wayne made seven baskets out of seven shots. Final score: Auburn 31, North Side 2 9. Auburn ' s thirteenth victory came at the expense of the Ligonier squad on February 21. Ligonier covered up in the first half never to trouble us again throughout the game. The goal diggers thus ended one of the best seasons on record for Auburn. Six conference games were won and three lost. Auburn stands third in the Northeastern Indiana High School Athletic Confer- ence in basketball. The member of the squad who made the largest percentage of his foul shots received a silver loving cup. Every one worked hard to win but George Stebing topped the group. It was the second year in succession that he had won the cup, and likewise, Fred Quance was the second best shot for two years. George now holds two cups to grace his family mantle. Banquets were offered the boys by many fans after the season and the tourneys were over. Business manager, coach, and squad members attended banquets given by firms, students, and individual fans. Sweaters were awarded Freeman, McClure, Thimlar, and Welch, the only members of the squad who had not received sweaters previously. McClure, Welch, and Huffman are the members of the squad who will return next year. —77— Tournaments The sectional tournament was held in Garrett again this year. Aul)urn entered the tourney with practically the same team they had last year: H. Davidson, G. Stebing, K. Rastenburg, F. Quance, J. Huff- man, E. Welch, H. Hathaway, and H. Freeman. Auburn opened the tourney with a ciose game against Butler. A margin of two points gave us tlie riglit to stay in the tournament. In the first game Saturday morning witli Spencerville, Auburn won by ten points, thus going to the semi-finals with Garrett. There was a game! Garrett obtained the first two baskets. Auburn settled down and evened the score. At the end of the half. Auburn had a three point lead. In the second half it was anybody ' s game. The small margin of lead see-sawed back and forth. The last five minutes Auburn took a five point lead and stalled till the end. The game ended 1.5-20. Aul)urn and Angola met in the finals for the sectional champion- ship. This game was anotlier thriller. Angola had one of the easiest schedules of the tournament and was in very good condition. The lirst half ended 8-10 in favor of Angola. In the beginning of the second half Auburn forged ahead six points. Then again Angola took the lead. The lead zig-zagged again. When the gun sounded at the end of the regular period the score was tied. After two minutes of rest the overtime started. In the first minute of play Captain Davidson scored a basket from the field which put us in the lead two points. And to these two points Auburn froze until the gun!! The tournament as won! The first tourney was won. The cry of the students was On to the State. The basketball boys, after a week-end rest practiced hard in order to be in shape for the Regional Tourney. Daytime practice was held in order that the team would be accustomed to afternoon play and light. All members of the squad fought hard for the berths on the first ten, that group of well deserving athletes that were allowed to enter the tourney. The eight who had played the previous week were entered, with the addition of Thimlar, guard, and McClure, center. Coach Young was satisfied that his charges were in shape for the next tourney. The rrgionnl touriiiiincnt was licld in tho Alumni (Jyin in Au- burn Mart ' h 8. The first game was between Milford and Auburn at 2 o ' clock. This was a tight contest. Auburn was forced into a hard battle. The first half ended with Auburn five points in the lead. In the second half Milford came back strong and the score was tied twice. Two minutes before the end of the game Hathaway connected with a shot under the basket which gave Auburn the tw o point margin. They held the lead at the sound of the gun. The three o ' clock game was between Kendallville and Lima. Lima had one of the pluckiest teams that has played on our floor. Lima led at the half by a good margin. Kendallville tied the score at the end of the game, due to a foul called on Lima in the last fifteen seconds of play. This foul put out Lima ' s best guard. Kendallville scored in the overtime. The Kendallville team walked away with us in the finals — and on to the State Tournament at Indianapolis. Kendallville, as always, was a worthy foe, for whom we have the profoundest respect. Unusually poor officials marked this tournament as an unpleas- ant one to remember. Individual Records Games Field Foul Total P. Name Played Goals Points Points ' ; Fouls ; Fouls H.

This is Ruth ' s last year. Marium Weidner, Muru Yes, Mary is that flashy side-center. Four years on the floor has made her entirely too quick for her opponents. Sorry to say Mary is a senior too. Vivian Hefner, PeeWee Vivian is a sophomore and she surely knows how to play basketball. She was al- ways there with pep and fight. We are glad she will be back next year. Mabel Williams, Mabel A very dependable guard who most as- suredly know s how to play basketball. As a pair, Ruth and she proved most successful. Betty Lige, BcUtf Betty is our tall jump-center. When it comes to getting the tip-off she is right there. Betty consistently out jumped and out played her opponent. A. H. S. is sorry this is her last year; the coach will find it difficult to replace her. -so- Girls ' Team Geneva Martin, Goiera Geneva played in seven games tliis year and proved herself to be very reliable. This was her first year to try the basketball squad and it was very successful. Geneva is a senior. Bernedette Guild, Ueruic This was Bernie ' s first attempt at the squad. As a jump-center she was found depend- able. Sad to relate, she also is a senior. Virginia Baker, Gin This is the first year Gin has made the squad, although It is her last year in A. H. S. .Slio i)layed either side-center or forward, wher- ever she was needed most. Marcelle Carper, • ' Marcelle Another senior girl made a good for- ward on the team. Marcelle was always there with pluck and determination. She played in five games. Thelma Mock, Timmii Timmy turned out to be an excellent guard and next year will put her on the floor witli Mabel as her partner. Although only five games are to her credit for this year we are sure that next year she will be in all of them. Indian -SI— Summary of Season The Auburn girls unearthed fourteen victories and buried one defeat for their record again this year. Their only defeat was suffered at Wabash from the hands of the Snowballs. Auburn was pelted 31-17. However, in return for the ruination of the locals ' plan to win all games this year, those shots were tossed back to Wabash three weeks later, 17-23. Twenty-two girls participated in the fifteen games scheduled for the year. Vivian Refner, Mabel Williams, and Ruth Bartles played in all games. Marium Weidner contended for victories in fourteen games and Betty Lige thirteen. These girls were the first six on the team. Hilda Harris was elected captain again for the season. Other girls who played in games were Geneva Martin, Marcelle Carper, Bernadette Guild, Virginia Baker, Geraldine Ratrie, and Vio- let Hay. The Juniors claimed Dorothy Walter, Thelma Mock, Muriel White, and Virginia Brown. Rhoda Carper, Edna Vachon, Lela Miller, Wilma Stafford, Ruth Groscup, and Helen Imhoff upheld the Sopho- mores. There were no Freshmen on the squad this year, but there are several prospects for next year in the class of ' 3 4. The girls started their digging in the first game of the season by defeating Ashley, November 8, on the latter ' s floor by a score of 27- 22. The game was somewhat slow by gross number of fouls. A week later the locals downed their old rivals, Garrett, on the home floor by a margin of 1!) i)oints. A stiff battle was put up by the neighboring town, liul the Kcd and Black kept up good work and so led throughoul the game. Decatur appeared Thanksgiving Eve on Auburn ' s floor, but returned home with a defeat. Coach Hendricks gave most of her re- serves a chance to participate in this game. The Hnal score was 31-18. Two weeks later the girls repaid the visit of Decatur and return- ed with a victory of two points. The locals were forced to dig deeper and work harder to overcome the strong defense of Decatur. The op- ponents led at the half by three points. But when the gun went off the Red and Black led 35-33. Saturday night following the Decatur game the locals met Wawaka, overcoming them 38-18. Again the reserves played a large part of the game. One week later the girls doubled the score on General Electric of Fort Wayne. The game was hard and rough. Both teams worked for every score they made. The game ended 24-12. On December 31 Auburn visited Columbia City, winning 3 3-27 though our girls had not practiced since before Christmas. The New Year spirit kept them working harder on each play they made. One of the hardest games of the season took place at the Gen- eral Electric gymnasium in Fort Wayne on January 3. The half ended 2-1 in the locals favor. In the second half each team came back with determination. Luckily Auburn held the right end of the flnal score — 11-10, Auburn ' s lowest score of the entire season. Hamilton was the next team to meet defeat at Auburn ' s hands. This was a rather easy game. Coach Hendricks played fourteen girls, several tor the first time. They piled up a score of 3 8 while Hamilton coaxed the ball through the hoop for only 11 points. The ruinalion of the giiis record came January IS at Wabash. They were sunk by a score of 31-17. The girls tunneled in, but their efforts proved futile in trying to overcome the lead which Wabash held throughout the game. It was a bitter disappointment, but they were resolved more firmly than ever to defeat the Snowballs in the return game. One weeli later Auburn made the largest score of the season by defeating Wolf Lake 57-9 on the home floor. The reserves were again given a chance to show their skill in playing. The season ' s thriller took place in the Garrett gym, the follow- ing week with our old rivals. Both fought hard. The locals led most of the time when the score was not a tie. The half ended a tie at 14 all. With one minute to go Auburn was one point behind. But the spirit of the Red and Black was able to regain the lead just as the gun cracked. The final score was 2 9-2 8 for Auburn ' s glory. The girls did not break their resolution to defeat the Wabash sextette in the return game on February 7. With excellent teamwork, fighting their hardest, the locals played the best game of the season. The half ended 11-7 in Auburn ' s favor and the final score was 23-17. Wabash had won 36 consecutive games. February 1 marked the return game with Ashley. Only two points marked the margin at the end of the game in favor of A. H. S. The game was slow and a large number of fouls was made on both sides. Auburn was still too cocky over defeating Wabash. The girls closed the season by defeating the New Haven girls 30- 10. The game was fast and better than the score indicates. The half ended ll-(i but the locals rallitMl in the second half and piled up a good lead. Individual Records Gamex Poivtf! Total T. P.

Most of the boys were Icit from (lie iirt ' cccdiiij; year. In addition lo all of the old squad several new men were recei ed from the freshman class. The football squad opened their season in Decatur, full of spirit and enthusiasm. Auburn tra eled to Decatur September 14. Here they swamped the Yellow Jackets 23-0. This buoyed up A. H. S. for a successful season. North Side of Ft. Wayne tied Auburn the following Saturday li- ' i. The .e,ame was thrilling all th way thi-ough, although Auburn Avas not playing up to standard. The next game, September 2S, Auburn traveled to Ohio to meet a much heavier team at Defiance. Here Auburn met her first and only defeat of the season by a score of 2 6-6. On the kickoff a criss-cross play, Hunter to Davidson, gave Auburn her only score. The rest of the game our speed could not overcome the weight of the opponents. Bluffton tied Auburn on October 5, with a score G-6. The Bluf- ton touchdown was made in the last minute of the game on a lon.g pass. Early in the game Groscup broke his arm. Baker, Davidson, Di ' evup, Dwig ' ht. Fitzsimmons, Graham Huffman, McClure, Shaw, Snow, Welch, West Undergraduate Lettermen Football Season Thursday, October 17, Auburn defeated Garrett in their annual struggle 13-6. Garrett led until the last eight minutes of play. Some neat teamwork by Davidson and Hunter brought us our first seven points. The last game of the season was played in Columbia City, October 26. Twelve Seniors saw action in this game. Auburn won with a score 2 6-6. The freshman team was used the last few minutes. Auburn tied Central of Fort Wayne for the Northeastern In- diana High School Conference football championship. This was one of the most successful football seasons in the history of Auburn High School. Two games were forfeited to Auburn during the season. On October 12, Huntington did not fulfill her bargain. Again on Septem- ber 28 Kendallville forfeited a game for lack of a team. However, a game was scheduled with Defiance, Ohio. Several weeks after the season had closed twelve boys were given silver footballs. There were twenty-three boys who received let- ters this season. A. H. S. suffered a heavy loss this year by losing twelve men. Although the loss is .great, prospects look good for next year. — S5— 1929 Track Team Summary of Season Lust year marked the best track season A. 11. S. has ever had. Tlic lirst meet was an invitational event at Kendallville. Several teams participated. In this meet Raymond Cool set two records, one in the standing high jump and the other in the backward jump. All ol the boys did well. For the first time in track history Auburn was thf winner ot the Kendallville held meet. The Auburn squad competed with (iarrett in a dual meet on the following Saturday, our team winning all but three hrst places. This made the squad winner ot another meet. The gang returned to Garrett the next week to decide the county champion track team. Auburn sprinted to victory again. Only five teams entered this meet: Garrett, Butler, Ashley. Spencerville, and Auburn. The South Side Relays were won Ijy Auburn. Tliese were the most thrilling events of the season. Auburn was behind until the last event, when the fellows broke through for victory. Again Auburn traveled to Fort Wayne to compete against Cen- tral, Kendallville, and Garrett in a quadrangular meet. The score was close at all times. However, Auburn was defeated by Central two and one third points. Nearing the end of the 1929 track season all teams of the North Eastern Indiana High School Conference met at Garrett to decide the Conference championship. Auburn won this meet by a large margin and was awarded a silver cup. She has the right to hold it in her pos- session until another team defeats her in the conference meet. This is the first year Central of Fort Wayne has not held it in lier possession. The last meet of the season was the district meet in Garrett. Elkhart won this meet. Five Auburn track men here earned the right to enter the state meet. These men were Hunter, McClure, Kee, Myers, and Stebing. Hunter was the only member of the squad to take a point at Indianapolis. He won fifth place in the 220 yard dash. McClure was in the 100 yard dash, Stebing in the 220 low hurdles, Kee ran the 120 yard high hurdles, and Myers was entered in the half mile race. A heavy rain hindered our boys, as well as the other teams. McClure, Hunter, and Stebing should take points in the state meet this year held on May 2 4, and should be accompanied by several others. The squad also intertalns the hope of rewinning the Northeastern Indiana . conference meet again. Basketball Second Team Summary of Season Several players on the Auburn second team had experiem-e last year. There were also several Freshmen who helped make a winning- team. Zeke will need several of these boys to fill the vacancies in the varsity team (or 1931. The seconds played their first game with the Hamilton five, who were ranked about the average in the district. The Auburn seconds proved to be the better team, defeating them 18-12. November the twenty-second our squad beat Angola IS-lfi in a fast game. This team was the first second team to score a victory for A. H. S. over the Angola reserves in a number of years. Decatur sent her second team to Auburn to bring home victory, which they were accustomed in doing, but Auburn defeated them 10- 10. This game was played at 4:00 o ' clock on November 26. Our second team traveled to Fort Wayne, December 7, where they defeated the South Side seconds by nine points. They played a good game of basketball. In the next game the Auburn boys scored another victory when they defeated the LaGrange second squad 44-11. Bluff ton seconds were defeated by the Auburn reserves 41-21 on January 3. Harley Trovinger showed his ability in this game by scoring twenty-one points. Decatur turned the tables on the A. H. S. seconds in a return game defeating Auburn 37-22. The Auburn second reserves burned the Garrett second re- serves in an easy game in which they more than doubled the score on Garrett. A week later Garrett seconds came through with lots of fight which almost spelled defeat for Auburn. A long shot by Drerup in the last minute of play put Auburn two points in the lead. Don Coar and ten of his basketeers went to Huntington to bring home another victory but they fell short of their goal and were de- feated 21-28. This was February 7. The following week the Auburn seconds played the LaOtto squad two games the same evening winning one by a score of 18-8 and losing the other one by 21 points. February 15, Spencerville firsts came to Auburn to participate against the Auburn seconds. A real battle was expected but Auburn trounced them 33-2 2 without much effort. Waterloo challenged the Auburn reserve seconds made up of Freshmen boys. The Auburn boys defeated them 2 9-18. The next week Hamilton ' s first team played the Auburn seconds a return game. They proved to be too much for our team, defeating us seven points. The LaOtto boys were our visitors February 21. The Auburn seconds won both games. By winning the two games the Auburn team closed a successful season. Much will be expected of these boys next year. — S7— First roll- — Welch, Cool, Hunter, Stebing, McClure, Blum Second loir — Petei ' S, Rieke, Kruse, J. Davidson, W. Price, L.

The Freshman team, made up of some snappy small boys placed fourth. W. Dwlght, M. Cornell, F. Goscarelly. G. Wyatt, R. Holben, and ( ' . Dewitt composed this team. In many games this year an excellent type of basketball was displayed. At times the rivalry between the teams became almos over-heated. From these teams Coach Young selects material for the second team. Fir.- t ■,. ' •-- McXamara, West Scrand rair — Minard, Cospei ' , McConib, George, t ' ocik Noon League Basketball Noon League games have been a regular part of school life. Eleven teams of seven boys each composed the groups of contestants. All teams played ten games. The games were played at 12:00 to 1:00 each noon. This provided good sport during noon hours throughout the season. Every team selected the name of a car to serve as an identifica- tion. Cars represented were Ford, Auburn, Cord, Chevrolet, Dodge, Chrysler, Essex, Hudson, Cadillac, Buick, and Rosevelt. At the end of the scheduled season three teams were tied for first place. These were Cadillac, Ford, and Chevrolet. The Fords were successful in winning the play-off. Members of the winning teams were D. Cosper, captain, J. Cook, P. George, F. McNamara, R. West, E. McCombs, and F. Minard. Interest and attendance at the games showed a decided increase over previous years. Both the players and the spectators enjoyed the contests and intense feeling cropped up at times. Good sportsmanship was prevalant at all times. Boys not out for the varsity or second teams are able to enjoy the physical and mental benefits of basketball. -91— Athletic Prospects The I ' ootbiill toain next year will be in-acLically as strong as last year. Se eral new men will be found in the lineup. The boys that will lie lost by graduation this year are Hipskind, Groscup, Hathaway, Tim- 1)( rlin, Quanee, Hunter, Thinilar, Davidson, Thomson, Stehing, I ' -ree- man, ImholT, and McNamara. Those who will compose the team next year are MeC ' lure, HulT- man, Eaker, J. Davidson, (Jraham, Welch, West, Shaw, Dewitt, Lash, jiwight. Snow, Fitzsimmons, and a few freshmen. Tiiere will le a wiiols new backlield which will be very light but their speed will overcome their lack of weight. The line will be a Ilk ' to take care of its part of the work in line shape. The team as a w hole has had less experience than the preceeding squad, but the team of lltSo can be counted upon to uphold the Red and Black. The teams scheduled to oppose the Red and Black next year are Decatur, Garrett, Bluffton, North Side, South Side, and Columbia City, Three of these games will be played in Auburn. The boys basketball team will suffer a heavy loss this yeai . Those leaving are Harold Davidson, George Stebing, Kurt Rastenberg, Fred Quance, Harry Hathaway, and Homer Freeman. Even so, the prospects are good for next year. Next year ' s squad will consist of James Huffman, Richard Mc- Clure, Edward Welch, Webster Albright, Arthur Drerup, Junior Fitz- simmons, Ralph West, Joe Davidson, Harley Trovinger, and probably some freshmen. The prospects for the girls team are Rhoda Carper, Vivian Ref- ner, Thelma Mock, Mable Williams, Dorothy Walter, Helen Imhort ' , Wilnia Stafford, Lela Miller, and several who have shown spirit in the games. Many jjositions will need to be tilled on next years track team. Hunter, Timberlin, Hipskind, Groscup, Stebing, Imhoff, L. Price, Quance, and Davidson will be graduated. Next years squad will be made up of Huffman, Peters, Lash, McClure, J. Davidson, Price, and liishop. w aa MOOL Iff I ; , A( ' A ' 1 - AyW ' -y- School Life Memories of School Life are not mere recollections of the routine of studij or of classes.

Ai il i II II — 9o- Chatlerbox Staff The Chatterbox, published every two weeks, keeps its staff busy gath- ering and assembling news articles and feature stories. The members are here correcting articles that seem worthy of being put upon the press. ]yiidvr S ioiis Many students enjoy ice skating, sledding, and ice boating on the lakes during the winter months. The last season, ice-boating has gained in pop- ularity, several students owning mot- or driven boats. This one shown here is one of the most powerful and like- wise one of the speediest. T) ' opliics In the past several years of inter- scholastic competition Auburn stu- dents have succeeded in winning many prizes. The school has a large num- ber of banners, pennants, and cups. Many expendable prizes like money and trips have also been won. Some of the above cups were won by groups, and some by individuals. Ninth Hour Students who have been tardy without excuse must make up tlie lost time after school. Some evenings several offenders, generally boys, gather in room ten to work, as a re- sult of their carelessness. -94— Viic((li ))nd Trip The boys in the Agriculture Dt ' - partment have included in their course trips to farms to get information first hand. This group is collecting data and practicing stock judging while on one of the excursions. Antomobile Roiv There are so many students who drive into Auburn to school each day that a parking space had to be provid- ed. This space shows much activity at the beginning of school in the morn- ing and at four o ' clock. Bui kciball Practice Auburn High School is proud of her athletic teams. Participants in each sport practice faithfully. The basketball boys have the longest sea- son to practice, but evidently enjoy it, as they never give voice to con ' - plaints. ■Li? Anviial Stu)f The publishing of a yearbook en- tails a large amount of work with copy, cover, stock, and pictures. Mem- bers of the staff are required to spend a good deal of time with this work. Several of the staff are shown here preparing copy. I ' cp Nr.s.s oH Monday and Friday of each week a pep session was held in the Auburn gym at 12:30. Here the athletic con- tests were discussed and stunts were given. One of the prominent perfor- mances was the Chatterbox wedding, to encourage the purchase of sub- scriptions (luring the midyear dri ' e. Slio) ' ! Coiirfte A short course in livestock and soils was sponsored by Purdue Uni- versity, and was presented in the Alumni gym. Agriculture students attended and the Hi-Y boys acted as doorkeepers and rolltakers. Hi-Y The Hi-Y is an organization of Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Boys. Luncheons are held each Tuesday. The picture shows members as wait- ers at the Y. M. C. A. Mother-and- Daughter Banquet. lliKikvij WiUjo)} Mrs. MacDonald, attendance offi- cer, sometimes catches students w!io try to skip school. She is seen here bringing back two boys to be repri- manded by the principal! C. M. T. C. During the summer several boys represent A. H. S. at the Citizens Mili- tary Training Camp. Here they have wholesome fun and are taught to Ije capable of helping our country in case of any international difficulty. Art Group Auburn High had a talented Art Class this year. They could be seen, the latter part of the year, making pencil drawings of the school build- ings. BiiUctiii Hoard Every one depends upon the bul- letin board. On it are posted the lost and found notices, announcements, and articles of interest to faculty and pupils alike. 8 :.70 Eight-thirty finds laggard stu- dents rushing to reach the assembly before the last gong. Sometimes some are unsuccessful. These two boys are hurrying to be on time. irn, Indiana —97— Fnothall Football has at last regained its standing as a major sport. It has many followers in the High School. Coach Young giving his squad some advice just before a game has become a familiar sight to all the fans of that sport. Those students taking a manual training course are familiar with the Woodshop located on the Harrison school grounds. The shop is furnish- ed with excellent equipment and is very efficient. The boys, under Mr. Cosper. have completed many pro- jects, including an addition onto the building in which they work. Fire Drill Once a month, due to a state re- quirement, the students engage in Are drill. By this practice disorder can be avoided in an actual case of Hre. At the ringing of the gong, a group of boys here demonstrated the quickness and efficiency gained by these drills. Athletic Field Tlie athletic held with its grand- stand, football field, and track holds a prominent part in our athletic pro- gram. It has seen several prospective champions, and has been the site of the downfall of many teams. To those boys actively engaged in athletics it is most familiar. Girls ' Gi nnnisticf! On spring days Mrs. Hendricks, girls ' gym Instructor, takes classes out-of-doors Instead of into the gym. Here they either play baseball games, eiagage in calisthenics, or participate In the simple tumbling exercises. Prrss Conroitiini Representatives of the school publications are sent each year to the Indiana High School Press Associa- tion held at Franklin. They are accompanied by a faculty member. They always bring back valuable in- lorniation. Lcajjiin Lviia There is a prevalence of Fords in the cars driven by the students. The largest number of them are without decorations of any kind. A few have been painted with bright colored hues by their owners, however. This one belongs to a Junior boy. ' ■ ' - ' c W ' v 1 : ' ' ...1 E.--.

THE SENIOR SHOVEL Volume-loud September 54, 193U No. ], 067, 54IV2 BIG CATASTOPHE AT POKER FLAT MISCREANTS ARE CAPTURED One (liaii IMeiiibcr E-scapes A great grief has set- tled over the inhabitants o£ Poker Flat. Those famous gangmen, Cale Dosper. Ig- natz Rieke, Obert Rimhoff, and Horsehair Blum are the responsible people. One week ago these four villains, in the disguise of scientists, descended upon Poker Flat and commenced a number of queer experi- ments. Boring a hole to the exact center of the earth, they dropped a plumb line to its bottom. Then taking anoth- er line, they placed it at right angles to the plumb line. Their fiendish joy was unbounded when they found that Poker Flat was indeed not flat, but was curved, for the ground was not the same distance from the sec- ond line at all points. Waiting two days, Cale Dosper, the leader, announc- ed to the inhabitants the above discovery. The townspeople were en- raged at the gall of these strangers in ruining both the name and the honor of their town. Led by Mayor Kraft, they staged an at- tack upon the villains in their hotel. After Black- smith Sebring battered down the door. Policeman Dwight opened fire, injiiring Mayor Kraft. Time out was taken to celebrate this event. At the continuance of the fight, Dosper, seeing the ferocity of the people, attempted to escape on his scooter, but was brought down by Thom- as ' s Ijrusty bean shooter. Ignatz Rieke broke his jaw in an effort to talk his way out of the jam. Showing his true colors at last. Horsehair Blum, the boldest and worst of them all. died from fright. One man, Rimhoff, es- caped. By using sleight of hand, he wafted himself from his opponents ' sight. Therein lies the grief of the Poker Flatters. He got away. So beware. Mr. Obert Rimhoff, your life will al- ways be in danger from this outrage. BIG BLOWOUT PULLED OFF HI-Y DISCOVKKS NKW FOOD Bis Convention Held By Janises After careful study and much time under the leader- ship of Professor Fisheye Rieke, this organization of youthful dumb-bells has finally succeeded in discov- ering a new food, and it isn ' t fish food either. The main difhculty now seems to be teaching Chef Horse- hair Blum to cook this de- licacy. Oh! We almost forgot to tell you what this new won- der is. Well, folks, it ' s BEANS ! ! Late Bulletin: King Tut has announced the comple- tion of his latest pyramid. One of the most brilliant events of the spring whii ' l of society took place at Lake James last Saturday when a group of Jameses as- sembled for a picnic. Besides eating, there were various other forms of en- tertainment. James Huff- man delivered in a charm- ing manner the speech giv- en by King James at the battle of Jamestown. James Balzer, who is noted tor his blues singing, gave the com- pany a treat when he sang St. James Infirmary Blues. Our local wonder rider, Jesse James, gave his au- dience a thrill when he jumped his horse, Jumpin ' Jimminy, from one side of Lake James to the other. In addition to these forms of entertainment, there was a swimming contest staged. This was won by James Capen. but Jim Shoe came in a close second. Everything was going along smoothly when James Morr had to jim the works by sinking his canoe in the midst of the Lake. Jim Nasium quickly ran to the rescue, and proved success- ful in bringing the dripping James to shore. The party finally broke up, and the members flew home in Jim Class ' s aero- plane. - 107- VHK SKMOK SH( Eli THK SEMOIJ SHOVEL I ' ulilislu ' d (ai-t uill.vl l!e (loo (I Don ' t IjO Nauglily Our Platform ' I ' d ,yive pU ' iity diss To throw plenty dirt Copywrited Ily luck and a bribed iiHiiial I IJKSH AMI STIDV IIOOM GHASTLY GHOUL GANG GONE Sleuth Stchiiij; Starts Stampede Tilt notorious master of exeavations (llioul Gumpp, brousht his infamous career to a close today by surrend- ering to the famous detec- tive, George Stebing. Detective Stebing had for several years been on the trail of this famous grave digger and his gang, nearly capturing him at times but always barely failing to do so. However, this chase, as in all others, was won by perseverence and diligence. This chase started three weeks ago.

He decided to go into business for himself. The other boy said, If you are going into business for yourself, I will, too, as I ha ' e sa ' ed $1800.00 . Today these boys are fifty years of age. The boy, who had the legacy left him, is working for the other one. who is a successful merchant, while his friend, who had not learned the ' alue of THRIFT, had failed.
