Because they left no iiTJJ-fcil ' - l - it . t t annals of their race, we knoiv little of their earlier La £P J Z. ' ' existence, except that they were a nomadic, cannibal- Ly - Cy istic )iation, p( wcrful in war, cleier hunters, and shrewd traders. They first inhabited northern Mich- igan, later migrated to our own section, and spread as far west as Lake Michigan — called Machihiganing by them. They were the first to fall under Pere Marquette, and remained dei out Christians thereafter. Because of their hostility to the United States in the War of 1812, much of their land was taken from them, and those Poffaicatomis known as the St. Joseph band were forcibly driven west of the Missis- sippi by Federal troops, only a few being allowed to remain. Through the efforts of their lenerable chief, Pokagon, they later received payment for their lands from the government. But too late, as was too often the case in our relations with the true Americans, tuberculosis had thinned their once mighty ranks to the paltry number of two hundred and seventy. Because we wished to bring this remembrance of the first Hoosiers to you, and because we could not make the mistake the Pottawafomis did in compelling posterity to hazard guesses as to their true existence, the members of the class of 19 2 produced this book.

' m ' 17 I cV N Summary of Views Memories of days spent in high school are necessarily molded by the buildings of the school campus. After all, environment plays an all-important part in our daily lives, and the quiet dignity of Mcintosh High will forever permeate these memories. The site for the high school was donated by Mr. Mcintosh when he realized that the old high school was inadequate and antiquated. The old building stands on a wooded campus west of Van Buren Street. Here we spent our junior high school years. The new brick building was completed after the World War, and two years ago the surround- ing grounds were nicely landscaped. It is adequately equipped with class rooms, laboratories, assembly, and auditorium. Northeast of this main building stands the alumni gym — built a few years ago with funds obtained by popular subscription. One of the finest g ' mnasiums in this part of the state, it is a favorite of townspeople and student body alike, for herein are waged gripping hardwood battles. The power house is situated south of the gym, and houses the heating plant for both buildings. This completes the group of three buildings on the Main Street location. This year the school board leased a great, level meadow west of town for an athletic field, calling it Williams ' Field from the name of the owner. Here a track, baseball diamond, and gridiron will be made. Football was played on the field last fall, but a better gridiron is now being prepared, the playing outface having been plowed, graded, and seeded. -n!i! Tueh c£v c ' i v-V Ca AJt O-A -f AD1INISTRATI0N , ' Z ' Administration Due to the ability of the chief taim of the tribe of Potfawatoinis ami to the iutre[}iJity of its warrior leaders, this nation once ranked as one of the most powerful east of the Missis- sippi. One of the greatest factors in the success of Mcintosh High School is its sachems and sagamores. Theirs is the culture, sagacity, and ligor which has so greatly influenced the student body in maintaining its notable school spirit and its desire to scale the greatest possible heights in scholastic activities. Thirteen iH School Board 1 1. L. Brown Upon the death of WiUis Rhoads, Mr. Brown was made president of the school board, flis Is well earned praise for a long career in this body. j A. V. Hincs, M. D. No wiser choice could have been made for the office of secretary to the school board than Dr. A. V. Hines. He is a prominent physician of the city, thus having his finger on the pulse of public opinion at all times. ill Hugh Carper Since Mr. Carper is affiliated with the City National Bank, and is an ardent basketball fan, most of the student body are acquainted with iiim. Upon the death of Mr. H. W. Timbrook last fall, he was called to office. Vaurtccn 11 l! r?r Faculty H. L. McKenney, R. S., A. B., A. M. Superintendent Valpara ' so Uiii i crsif y Uniiersity of Wisconsin hidiaiia University Unhcrsity of Chica o University of Cincinnati As an executive head for our school system, Mr. McKenney is invaluable. For the student body, too, is his friendship and counsel memorable. Ill III I ' Julia Duncan Clerk Judy serves as the official link between stu- dents and pedagogues. She becomes the friend of a majority of students in her work, and is liked by all who know her. S E. F. Friblcy, A. B., A. M. Principal DcPanw University Colli ni hill University Northivestern University Absolutely indispensable is a phrase well suit- ed to Mr. Fribley. Everyone knows and likes him in his capacity as principal of the high school. II! FijUvn US 3 yF il: III c t: : A i i iii -III History Frank W. Weathers, A. B. DcPtiiiu Unit crsity Miiiicic Normal University of Chicago Something to tell the underclassmen about is Mr. Weathers ' method of teaching junior his- torv. Besides this subject, he is the instructor in senior civics, and economics. The juniors were fortunate in securing Mr. Weathers as class advisor. Lloyd Miller, A. B. Tri-Stirtc College University of Michigan Those enrolled in sophomore history, and in citizenship classes are Mr. Miller ' s charges. He is best known to the school as a whole as a competent instructor, a good friend, and as the freshman roll-taker. Maude S. Armstrong Michigan State Normal College Syracuse University Freshman grammar, Caesar ' s Commentaries, the Ciceronian orations, and Vergil are all treat- ed with the same skill by Miss Armstrong. Her intimate knowledge of the subject makes her classes worthwhile. Si- tccil English Gladys Duguld, A. B. Indiana Uniicrsify Uniicrsity of Michif an Uniiersity of Wisconsin Columbia University Freshman and sophomore classes in English occupy most ot Miss Duguid ' s time, but she is willing to devote an) ' odd moments to enterpris- ing students. Her freshman projects might well be termed the classics of Auburn High School. Ill Carol Dawson, A. B. Tri-Statc CoUe; c Indiana Uniicrsify Uniicrsity of Chicago Uniiersity of Southern California Miss Dawson teaches senior and junior Eng- lish and looks to the welfare of our school ' s library. Her indefatigable personality is an in- centive for those who seek knowledge. % f- French Lucille Rhoads, A. B. DePanii ' Uniiersity Tri-State College Uniiersity of Michigan Northwestern Uniiersity Lucy teaches French and public speaking, coaches the play, directs the libretto of the op- eretta, and acts as Editor General of the Chater- box. This year she was elected sophomore sponsor. Seicntecn 1 7r% Vocational Charles G. Hornaday, B. S. A. Purdue University Mr. Hornaday is, perhaps, the most quiet member of the faculty. His department has definitely put Auburn on the map in agricul- tural work as a winner of prizes. Martha Jenkins, B. S. Louiiiaiia State Ntirinal Iinliaiui State Normal For the past four years Miss Jenkins has up- held the high standard of our 4-H Club summer work. During the school years she has spon- sored the Home Economics Club with much success. i! Hilda Kreft, B. S. Purdue Unii ersity Columbia Uuirersity Remarkable work has been accomplished in the home economics department, due, in a large part, to Miss Kreft. Besides the regular class routine, she has acted as freshman sponsor for the past two semesters. Ei l. ' tvcii commercial Clyde M. Gumpp Manchester College Indiana Uniiersify Drake University Indiana State Normal Students enrolled in either bookkeeping or shorthand appreciate Mr. Gumpp ' s thorough knowledge of his subjects. Many of the office workers in Auburn are his former pupils. I Lr ' Kathryn Wellbaum, B. S. Indiana University Typing classes have been of an unusu.iUy gh calibre this year. Though some of this may be accredited to the students themselves, yet assuredly Miss Wellbaum deserves the larger portion of praise as instructor. i!u )cience Robert T. Schooley, A. B., A. M. Indiana State Normal University of Marseilles, Marseilles, France Indiana University If only for the conversational ability of the teacher, the student should plan to enroll in one of Mr. Schooley ' s courses. Physics, chemistry, and geometry are included in his routine. A Nineteen _fU ■J u ■ r Mathematics Donald Coar, A. B. Indiana Uniicrsify U niicrsity of Whco niti Besides knowing his mathematics, Mr. Coar has become a prime favorite as coach of the sec- ond team. He is always glad to help some al- gebra student struggling with an equation. Mi anual Training 1 Isaac Cosper Tri-Slatc College Purdue Uiiivcnity Utiirersity of Wiscniisiii Since the shop is not on the high school grounds, Mr. Cosper is not well known to the student body as a whole. Those who have taken work under him will vouch for his ability as an instructor. H Art Lydia Sellers Chicago Art linii nfe Teachers ' College, hhliaiial ' olis Applied Art School, Chicago Butler U niiersify It is indeed unfortunate that only such a small percentage of high school students are able to be enrolled under Miss Sellers. She is a charming personality who knows how to teach art. Twenty Physical Education Cecil Young, A. B. DePatiw Uiiiicrsity JJiiivcnity of Illinois University of Michigan Uniicrsity of Wisconsin Zekc is an instructor you can converse with easily, like heartily, and with whom you can have a good time. He is a universal favorite with the student body of Auburn High School. Vera LaMotte, A. B. Earl ham College Coach LaMotte introduced an immensely ular sport to girls ' gym classes — namely, ickball; she sponsored clogging classes after school, too. The basketball sextet, under her able direction, came through the season with flying colors. Music Clarice McKinney DcPainv University Northwestern University Evansville College The excellent work of the music department is due most of all to Miss McKinney. This year both chorus and double quartet placed first in the county, a charming operetta was presented, and the orchestra progressed. Tucnty-otH ' V , Summary of Adminls+ra+ion , ,111 Curriculi offered by Auburn High School are: college entrance, commercial, home economics, and agriculture. In addition to these four courses, minor ones in art, manual training, and music are also taught. The first of the major courses is planned for those who plan further education in college; the others are of a vocational type. Miss Rhoads assumed the teaching of French classes, both first and second year. Miss Duguid, who had previously taught this subject, took over Miss Rhoads ' sophomore English classes in return. Public speaking was included the first semester. Business English was offered only the latter half of the year. Advanced algebra was also taught the second semester. Vergil was taught this year instead of Cicero. Miss Dawson ' s senior English classes studied Macbeth as an addition to their literature course. Interesting projects were carried on by Miss Duguid ' s English classes. French students corresponded with those of like ages in France. A ' liss LaMotte, replacing Thelma Fiendricks, was the only new instructor to be added to the faculty this year. She introduced a more varied method of physical education in her classes, revived girls ' track competition, conducted clogging classes after hours, and sponsored noon league basketball and volley ball for the girls. She also taught a class in physiology Tuesdays and Fridays for those who were not able to take regular gym work. There was no general revision of textbooks for high school students this year as was the case in 1928-29. Approximately three hundred and sixty students were enrolled this year. Over twenty of them transferred from other towns. As ever, the faculty was always willing to cooperate in student activities, and did much to keep the scholastic record of the school in the high place it has held.

Pottawafomi youth learned the fine arts of scalp- ing and wigwam life; American youth of }9}2 are in fine high schools fitted for better citizenship in a complex civilization. Who ivould turn back the centuries ' ? Freshies are still our Indians; sophomores are those who endure much; juniors fry to delve into ev- erything and usually emerge in one piece; and seniors are supposedly the hardiest braves, the loveliest maid- ens, and the ivisest of them all!

The groups this year selected wisely and supported loyally their officers. The Seniors re-elected Horace Clarke president. Wilbur Price was chosen vice- president, while Nola Meek was made secretary, and Maxine Farley treasurer. The members of the class aided the officers in making the ir last ) ' ear a successful one. Joe Rainier, Keith Williams, Hilda Mae Sherer, and Wanda Reynolds were the Junior officers. The Juniors were unusually successful both socially and financially. The Sophomores selected Burgess Barnhart, David Williams, Pauline Keller, and Marcella Dahline. These capable officers headed the class during their second year. The Freshmen chose Joe Lumm, Robert Berg, Geraldine Mason, and Rovine Dawson to guide them through their first year in A. H. S. These sixteen officers, beside their duties as class executives, also managed the season ticket drive, and when necessary, acted as a student council in matters of school interest. The assembly programs for the coming school year are also chosen by the class repre- sentatives. ii TT Forty-five History of Classes i In 1928 a class of freshmen came for the first time to Auburn High 5 School. This group of ninety-five students was headed during their first year by Joe Davidson, president; Harley Trovinger, vice president; Vivian Refner, secretary; Sally Thimlar, treasurer; with Miss Foulke for their class adviser. Many good athletes were included in this class. Those in action the first year on the different teams were: Albright, Davidson, Refner, Shaw, and Vachon. Iris Wimer was given the lead in the school operetta. Horace Clarke won the county piano solo contest. Returning the next year as sophomores, this class selected Webster Albright, president; Murray Carpenter, vice-president; Ruth Webb, secretary; Alice Brown, treasurer; and Miss Morton as their pilots. The class of ' 32 noted that another class had entered A.H.S. This new class chose for officers Wesley Dwight, president; Robert Sprott, vice-president; Phyllis Fraser, secretary; and Lenore Williams, treasurer. Miss Duguid was the adviser. During their second year Clarke again won the county piano solo. Alice Brown was elected editor of the Chatterbox. Carpenter, Grube, Metcalf , Short, Price, appeared as athletes. Iris Wimer, Webster Albright, and Vernon Shaw had important roles in the operetta. Vernie was also elected yell leader this year, an office which he has filled very well for three years. As juniors the class of ' 32 returned to another successful year in high school. This time Horace Clarke was made president with Mr. Coar class adviser, and Murray Carpenter, Alice Brown, and Sally Thimlar assistants. Members of this class were in the various activities, including the plays, operetta, chorus, and double quartette. Harold Molitor, a new member of the class, was very successful in discussion, placing fourth in the state final contest. Betty McCullough and Horace Clarke were also in the state final music contest, while the typing team placed third in the state final contest. Nola Meek won the district essay contest. Betty McCul- lough had the lead in the operetta. Maxine Farley was associate editor of the Chatterbox , while Webster Albright was re-elected business man- ager, and Wayne Beuret was chosen advertising manager, and Murray Carpenter circulation manager. Trovinger and Albright were on the basketball squad; and Rhoda Carper, Ruth Freeman, Helen Imhoff and Ruth Webb were on the girls ' team. They staged the junior carnival, and entertained the seniors at Pottawatomi. The class of ' 33 had Waldo Raub, John Graham, Kathryn Scott, Hilda Forfy-six Mae Sherer, and Mr. Miller for class officers and adviser. Wesley Dwight was editor of the Chatterbox and a member of the basketball team; Wanita Rinehold was on the girls ' basketball team. Joe Rainier won the district oration contest, and Lenore Williams represented Auburn in the state algebra contest. The freshmen, class of ' 34 entered A.H.S. They chose for officers and adviser, Albert Sockrider, Barbara George, Marjorie Miner, Gerald Roth, and Miss Kreft. Dave Williams distinguished himself in athletics as cen- ter of the basketball team, fullback, and star track man. Coming to high school for their last year, the seniors again selected Horace Clarke, president; Wilbur Price, vice-president; Nola Meek, sec- retary; and Maxine Farley, treasurer. Don Coar was re-elected class ad- viser. Maxine Farley was editor-in-chief of the Follies and won the county essay contest, Alice Brown the county reading contest, Molitor the discussion contest. Betty McCuUough was leading lady in the junior- senior play, with Stanley Thomas opposite her. Gwen Hughes was on the typing team. The juniors, under the guidance of Mr. Weathers, Joe Rainier, Keith Williams, Wanda Reynolds, and Hilda Mae Sherer, followed the seniors with Rainier as county winner in oration, Lenore Williams and Hilda Mae Sherer as editors of the Chatterbox, and Wanda Reynolds, Vivian , Johnson, Frank Coscarelly, Stanley Brown, Virginia Skelly, and Enlo Gaff holding important positions on the staff. Wesley Dwight and Hod Thimlar were regulars on the basketball team. Wanita Rinehold, Kathryn Scott, and Phyllis Fraser were on the girls ' squad. This class also put on a successful carnival, and entertained the seniors at the junior-senior banquet. The class of ' 34, now more experienced sophomores, chose Burgess Barnhart, president; Dave Williams, vice-president; Pauline Keller, sec- retary; Marcella Dahline, treasurer; and Miss Rhoads class adviser. Ath- letes are Dave Williams and Robert Merchanthouse, several others are on the second team. Merle Williams and Marjorie Miner are among the sopho- more girls on the basketball squad. Mae Elene Craven won the county contest in the piano solo this year. Joe Lumm headed the last class to enter Mcintosh High School, with Phil Berg as vice-president, Rovine Dawson secretary, and Geraldine Mason treasurer. Miss Kreft was appointed adviser. Several outstanding mem- bers of this class are Don Merchanthouse, Barbara Gordon, and Mary Carper, due to their athletic ability. Bud Phillips is assistant advertising manager of the Chatterbox, while several other members of the class are reporters. Forfy-sci ' cn Looking Ahead Although much of Auburn High School ' s talent in all fields will be l lost this spring through graduation, there will be much left for the various activities of the 1932-3 3 school year. The underclassmen have been exceptionally active in all extra-curricular work during the past two semesters. Virginia Skelly, Phyllis Fraser, Lenore Williams, Joe Rainier, John Graham, and Keith Williams will carry on in the dramatic productions. Rainier will represent Auburn again for the oration; Lenore Williams and Hilda Mae Sherer will act as editors of the Chatterbox, with Stanley Brown, Frank Coscarelly, Wanda Re3 ' nolds, Vivian Johnson, Virginia Skelly, and others assisting. Athletes who will be back are Wes Dwight, Hod Thimlar, Clarence DeWitt, Maynard Snow, Donald Lash, Glenn Wyatt, John Graham, Wanita Rinehold, Margaret Huffman, Wilma Walter, and Phyllis Fraser. Among the prominent sophomores are Mae Elene Craven, winner of the county piano solo contest; LeRoy Close, first place winner in the district geometry contest; David Williams and Robert Merchanthouse, hardwood heroes; and Jean Buss, Alice Whitten, Mary Sprott, all mem- bers of the Sunbonnet Girl. cast. A large portion of the Chatterbox minor staff is made up of the Class of ' 34. From the freshman ranks comes still more promising material. Ruth Lige and Barbara Gordon carried leads in the operetta. Bud Phillips acted as assistant advertising manager of the Chatterbox, while several others are now serving in the capacity of reporter. With all this material, besides that unmentioned or undiscovered, and that coming from Junior High, we may feel assured that the high school will continue to hold its enviable position among the schools of northern Indiana. Forty-eight C ' Jif--n Activities We may begrudge the Poftauat- omi his carefree life, but many are onr activities of whose existence he luas doomed never to realize. We must conform to the laws ivhich a complex civilization has decreed, granted; yet manifold are the bene- fits which that same civilization has produced. Today all may participate in those extra-curricular activities for ivhich they have time. We are particularly fortunate in having the fields of journalism, drama, music, interscholastic, and vocational ac- tivities offered us. Their educational as well as their diversional value is not to he lightly estimated. I.:-!

Again each member of the Follies staff has asked himself, Why all the tearing of hair, racking of, brains, writing of fevered copy, and hopes of having it go over big with the pow- ers that be? The answer lies deep in the roots of history. It is the same motive that prompted Cro-Magnon man to portray crudely on cave walls his conquest over a neighboring tribesman. It manifested itself again when Alexander wept because he had no Homer to sing his deeds, as did mighty Achilles. When Daniel Boone carved upon a beech that he had here cilled a bar this purpose was only further motivating itself. It is simply the desire of man to leave a record which will perpetuate himself and distinguish his activities from those of the countless other grains of sand. No exception is the class of ' 3 2, in this, at least, it is like its predecessors. So then have we labored to publish The Follies of 193 2 , the latest chapter in the history of Mcintosh High School. It is our hope that in later years, by rereading this annual, you may be reminded of four happy years. May it also serve as a Who ' s Hio for identifying seldom seen classmates. Only through the ass-stance of the Auburn Printing Company, our printers, the Fort Wayne Engraving Company, our engravers, and the Jones ' Studio, our pho- tographers, was this yearbook made possible. Need we add that to Mr. Fribley we owe unstinted thanks? He was our wailing wall, father confessor, snubbing post, and coun- selor — but never the despot. Too, will strange evenings in the dungeon with discus- sions ranging from a to z including Marjorie remain forever as memories. — M. Farley. 4g A ' ?T Fiffy-onc r7r% I! Bottom roll: Brown, W ' imer.

This group contains the four students from each class having the highest yearly averages. Each six-weeks the Chatterbox printed an honor roll including the names of students who excelled in their class; so in accordance the Follies has given recognition to those who ranked highest for the year with an honor group. Named in the order of their class superiority the honor group con- sists of the following: Seniors — Maxine Farley, Nola Meek, Iris Wimer, Alice Brown.

Only those juniors and seniors having an average grade of C or above are eligible. At the beginning of the year those interested met and elected Horace Clarke, President; Waldo Raub, Vice-president; Lenore Williams and Iris Wimer, as assistant Secretary and Treasurer; Ruth Groscop, Song Leader; Stanley Brown, Publicity. The purpose of this club is to give history students a chance to meet their instructor socially and to consider the problems of interest to history students. It is to teach the students to assume the responsibiliy for or- ganizing and carrying out the activities of the club. Every two weeks on Wednesday night the club met at the Y . The programs consisted of a serious talk or paper, various entertainment, and refreshments. l!

The membership depends upon the ability to pass certain tests in voice. Although the Glee Club has not sung for any entertainments, they have worked diligently. Rehearsals are held every Tuesday and Thurs- day evenings after school. Alice Whitten is the official accompanist. Some of their favorite compositions are: Pale Moon, Walrus and the Carpenter a short cantata, One Fleeting Hour, Dream of Love, by Liszt, Fairy Land Waltz, and Good Night Beloved. This year the Glee Club is composed of thirty-eight girls. It was from this group that Miss McKinney chose the double quartette and contest chorus. Also, those who had shown exceptionally good work were chosen for the operc a. They sang at Commencement exercises this spring. Vifty-seien Ill l« Bottuiu Kiu: Graliap.i. Basst ' n, Miss McKuuila.

This group provides entrants for the commercial contests. Following their course of the past two years the Auburn Business and Professional Women ' s Club again gave a five dollar gold piece for each subject to the junior and senior girl who made the best record. Auburn High was fortunate in having two capable instructors, Miss Wellbaum and Mr. Gumpp, for these subjects. The success which the students gained this past year was largely due to their efforts. The students of the group representing the different subjects were: Typing — Gwen Hughes, Betty McCullough, Effie Whittington, Keith Williams, Wanda Reynolds, Margaret Huffman; shorthand — Iris Wimer, Maurine Smith, Lela Miller, Luella Johson, Georgia Musser; book- keeping — Ruth Freeman, Maurine Smith, Lela Miller, Helen Imhoff, and Alice Brown.

Raub, Morr School Banking Cashiers Following the wise saying of Benjamin Franklin, A penny saved is a penny earned Auburn High has had a successful year in thrift. Although falling below their ideal at times the classes have managed to bank with a large percentage each Tuesday. Thrift is of educational value as well as inciting competition between classes. In the Thrift Almanac Auburn High stood fourth among schools of its size with an average of 91%. Those pupils who did the banking each Tuesday morning were: Seniors — Rhoda Carper, Iris Wimer, Webster Albright. Juniors — Phyllis Fraser, Vivian Johnson, Fern VanZile, Joe Rainier. Sophomoers — Rachel Shull, Alice Whitten, Albyn Dawson, Betty Swartz, Richard Raub. Freshmen- — Dorothy Purdy, Dorothy Mavis, Helen Ruskin. These cashiers also had assistants. Zh.

She not only teaches her pupils the mechanics of drawmg, but also imparts to them a desire to have a sense of beauty for art. Various subjects are studied throughout the two-semester course; the principal ones of which are the theory of colors, sketching, designing, different t) ' pes of lettering, wood carving, and leather designs. Art students of Auburn High are shown how to make practical ar- ticles of beauty such as handkerchiefs, scarfs, lamp shades, and wall hang- ings as well as purely ornamental objects. The artists of the school have a responsible duty in the making of posters for advertisement of plays and also for part of the scenery. More advanced students are held ac- countable for the art work in the annual. A feature of Miss Sellers ' classes is her classes in outdoor sketching. S;. v- h ' o Boitoni you: Rufncr, Conner.

This course, open to all boys in high school, offers technical knowl- edge as well as experience which proves practical to the youth. During the first semester the boys study mechanical drawing. Then making use of this knowledge learned the first semester, they do the actual sawing, trimming, fitting, and other bench work the last semester. After the required amount of work has been completed the boys complete many interesting projects. Nineteen high school boys had the advantage of taking manual train- ing this past year. As the wood shop is always crowded, we see that this generation is training itself to take its place in the future work-a-day world. I Sixty-thrvc 11 ! 1.

Hi-Y officers for this year were: Lenore Williams, President; Iris Wimer, vice-president; Rhoda Carper, secretary; and Kathryn Scott, treasurer. Miss Kreft and Miss LaMotte were the sponsors. On one occasion the girls ' Hi-Y and the boys ' Hi-Y had a joint meet- ing. By such a meeting, interesting as well as profitable material could be related to all for their consideration. At Christmas time the girls spent their time well when they sent out baskets to needy families.

This organization received its charter in 1922, and is one of the most active and important in the school. During the first semester the officers were: Harold Molitor, presi- dent; Stanley Thomas, vice-president; Sheldon Scott, secretary; and Joe Davidson, treasurer. The officers elected at the beginning of the second semester were: Joe Davidson, president; Wilbur Price, vice-president; Wesley Dwight, secretary; Paul George, treasurer. Interesting talks were given at various times during the year by Mr. Weathers on prohibition, Mr. Young on sports, Dr. Graham on dentistry, and Mr. John Zimmerman on air ships. Ten boys attended the Older Boys ' Conference at Huntington. Joe Davidson and Harold Molitor were sent as representatives of the club. Si iy-jiic bottom rou : Miss Krclt, Harwood, ShuU, Rice, D.

The 193 1 and ' 32 season was an active one in the club. Rachel Rice, president, Fern VanZile, vice-president, and Vivian Davidson, secretary and treasurer served as officers this year. The club met regularly the second Thursday of every month, spon- sored by Miss Jenkins and Miss Kreft. Each meeting was in charge of a permanent program committee. Especially interesting meetings were held in December, January and February. As a Christmas project the girls had the planning of a Christmas bas- ket to give to a needy family in the city. Others were a birthday party, and a bake sale for the purpose of raising money, which paid the mem- bership fees and expenses of four delegates to the State Students ' Home Economics Club Meeting at Indianapolis. These girls were: Geraldine Fackey, Fern VanZile, Dorothy Purdy, and Mary Will. Si-xfy-six IGXE Bottom row. Stackhouse. R. Souder, F.mmc, Mr. Hornaday, Provincs, W. Drerup Second row: Culbertson, P.

Meeting nights are the first and third Thursday of each month. The chapter is promoting a higher standard of scholarship, drill in parliamentary procedure, and a greater development in 4-H Club activities. There are four degrees in the organization. The first is the greenhand. The second degree is that of future farmer, the third, state farmer, and the fourth, American farmer. Each higher class requires a greater amount of efficiency and labor. The officers of the organization are Robert Souder, president; Howard Emme, vice-president; Paul Provincs, secretary; Woodrow Drerup, treas- urer; John Stackhouse, reporter; and C. G. Hornaday, adviser. A livestock show was held in August, and in November a corn and potato show with chapter members winning the most important prizes in the county. All of the first prize winners went to Purdue the first week of May as a reward for their achievement. There are thirty active members and five associate members enrolled, most of whom are present at each meeting to enjoy the program ' . 3 cyf Sixfy-scxcii Ill Farley, Williams, Brown, Reynolds, Skelly, McCuIlough, Molicor, imer, Thomas, Price, Minard, Rainier, Fraser, Graham, Renz, Johnson The Charm School This light-hearted comedy by Ahce Duer Miller and Robert Milton was presented the nights of November 19 and 20 in the school auditorium before a well-filled house.

Frances Marie, daughter of Cyrus Templeton, the light-house keeper, and captain of a yachting crevi of Sailor Maids, is cele- brating her eighteenth birthday and the launching of her new yacht. Edward Dover, an old friend and playmate whom she has not seen for eight years, is to pilot the new yacht on its maiden voyage across the bay. Edward knows nothing of yachting and detests the ocean. When he arrives he is mistaken for a caterer whom they have employed to serve at a dinner in the evning. Because of his interest in Jeanette, a friend of Frances Marie, and his horror for the water, he does not reveal his true identity. Edward is aided in his plot of deception by David Kern, a yachtsman, who comes with a message from the caterer. The plot thickens as David Kern is mistaken for Edward Dover. Many entangle- ments follow and the climax comes when David learns Frances Marie ' s engagement to Ed- ward is soon to be announced. The true identity of both is revealed and Frances Marie and her friends are shocked at the discovery. After much explaining, the young men clear themselves and win the girls with their fathers ' blessings. The operetta was received with much enthusiasm by the audience. The opening chorus of the second act, Bells of the Sea, was exceptionally good, and My Wonderful Ship of Dreams, sung by Betty McCuUough was especially pleasing. Much credit is due the cast, the directors, and the business staff for their work in staging the comedv so successfully. .

Scien y-onc i V Attendance Although the students ' personal opinions may differ, the attendance requirements of Mcintosh High School remain above normal. Many persons may have experienced being tardy once, perhaps twice; but never very many times. As onl) ' legitimate excuses are accepted for absence, there might be some discrimination as to which were ac- ceptable but under the supervision of the triumvirate — McDonald, McKenney, and Fribley — all receive their just dues. If a white slip is the reward for a good excuse , per- mission is given to make up the work missed. However, if a yellow slip is the penalty for an ill-spent day, the F ' s remain. Due to the efforts of Mrs. McDonald in her cooperation with the students. Auburn High had the exceptionally high average of 98.09 percent attendance the first semester, the second semester being about equal. This is the highest average there has been for several years. !il Seicuty-tn Athletics Oitr the siimc terrain whereon Pottaiiatuiiii hraies hunted and contested in games of skill and for- titude, modern youth makes touch- downs, and track and field records. It is a moot question whether the Indian who could longest endure cold and hunger had greater physical strength than he who can run the century in ten flat; the two are hardly comparable. Their similar- ity lies in the fact that both hare included intensive physical training in their liies. The soundness of tins policy needs no defense. Si ' lfnfy- jrce Coach Young Zeke, during his years in Auburn has always been a favorite among the boys with whom he comes in contact in the various fields of athletics. To him can be attributed the greater share of the rankings A. H. S. has received during late years. Since he was added to the Mcintosh faculty some realh great teams have represented the school. His knowledge of all athletics is extensive, and he possesses that incomparable quality of being able to put his enthusiastic spirit and determination into those boys whom he trains. Athletic Association L ill Athletic squads and students who buy season tickets compose the Auburn High School Athletic Association. This association has charge of all questions and discus- sions that arise concerning the athletics of the school, and it strives to stimulate en- thusiasm in the athletic features of the school year. The students have the management of the organization, but two of the faculty are counted as offi cers. Those oflicers elected this year were: Joe Davidson, president; Rhoda Carper, sec- retary; John Smadel, business manager; and Mr. Schooley, treasurer. Mr. Fribley is automaticalh ' made the facultv advisor. The pep talks by John were a big factor in getting the student body interested in the athletic activities. Davidson Smadol Carper Schooley Sfmify-foiii ' Coach LaMotte This was Miss LaMotte ' s first year in Au- burn, but she made an outstanding record in this short time. She introduced many new ideas in her gym classes, and the noon-league basketball she conducted aroused much in- terest. She selected a good team from the many girls who answered her call for basket- ball material at the beginning of the year. Her hobbv was that the girls be real sports, and her ideals of sportsmanship and clean playing have won her a place in the hearts of all team members. Miss LaMotte cannot be overestimated as a coach, and deserves much credit for the work she has done. 1 Basketball Captains and Yell Leaders . Great skill in Auburn High School ' s three major sports is Harley Trovinger ' s. In this, his senior year, he was elected captain of the basketball team, was quarterback and held-general of the football squad, and star in the Century and pole vault. Jake was a first string forward his jun ' or and senior years and made a total of 5 05 points in 47 games. Rather than being the often termed old reliable forward, his play was decidedly marked with flash and verve. The girls ' captain, Rhoda Carper, has been on the varsity two years, as side center and forward. She made a total of 188 points in 14 games this year. Good sportsmanship and an even temper marked her play. Not since the days of Harold Gengnagle has Auburn had a yell leader like Vernie Shaw. Three years of consistent pep is Vernon ' s record. Bill Mock was his assistant this vear. Trovinszcr Carper Mock Sfifn y-fiir Basketball Boys David Williams, Diiic, Center Big Dave led the scoring this year, making 2 52 points in 24 games. His versatility in every phase of athletics has made him one of Auburn ' s all-time athletes. Wesley Dwight, Wcs, Forward 40 points in 20 games is the record of the squad ' s youngest member. Wes is essentially a strategist and fighter, loving the thick of the melee. ■ ' ( B 11 hi Howard Thimlar, Hod, Guard Cool, heady playing marked Hod ' s play in this, his first year on the varsity. Clever passing has helped make him one of Auburn ' s greatest guards. Robert Merchanthouse, Boh Guard Showing the Auburn regulars how it is done down in Connersville, Bob scored . 4 points in 23 games in his first year. His defensive play was noteworthy. ( DeLoss Metcalf, Dc, Forward De ' s whirlwind play put spirit into many a tough contest, especially in the Garrett game. His uncanny one handed shots netted him 46 points in 15 games. ,S(WV; v- v Basketball Boys 3 Benjamin Short, Bcii, Guard Ben ' s first year on the varsity found him holding down either guard or forward positions cerditably. He scored 2 9 points in 20 games. . r Sheldon Scott, S(r; y, Forward Scottv is another senior on the squad. Atlhough he was in only 1 1 games, his cool play ' ng made him a valuable man for reserve material. Webster Albright, Web, Guard Web, also a senior, broke his arm in the LaGrange game, which weakened greatly Auburn ' s defense. He scored 18 poi-nts in 8 games, a good record. Joseph Davidson, Joe, Guard Graduation will claim this man. Joe was a clever player and played a notable defensive game. He was in 10 games and scored 12 points. Marion Cornell, Cornell, Center Cornell has another year in Auburn High. He played in 14 games this year, and showed a dependable brand of basket- ball in each. n Scictity-scicn III ' ' ii Summary of Basketball Season Ashley was host to Auburn ' s first game of the 1931-32 season. The Red Devils won by a score of 21-15. Butler opened the season in Auburn, and our team won after a hard battle H-13. Our Angola friends challenged us to a game in which the victory keg was at stake, and on November 20 the game was played. Auburn won in easy fashion 41-13. Decatur was again our guest for Thanksgiving. Auburn nosed the Yellow Jackets out by a score of 22-21. The Red Devils took Albion into camp by a score of 3 3-21 the fol- lowing Friday. December fifth the team went to South Side. The game was outstanding because Auburn ' s defense and offense clicked. South Side was defeated 15-13. The next week the team journeyed to Columbia City. Over confi- dence and a bad case of the swell head were the cause of the first defeat of the season. Score 23-18. The next night the Red Devils had an easy time defeating LaGrange by a score of 48-12. Albright broke his arm in this game. On December 18, the battle of the season was to be waged, Auburn vs. K-ville. With the score tied 19 all and seconds to go. Auburn scored and won the game 21-19. Goshen played the last game before the holidays here. Although a hard game was expected, the Red Devils handed their opponents a 30-15 trimming. On January 1, Auburn auspiciously began the new year with a victory over Bluflfton. Accurate foul shooting spelled defeat for Bluffton 28-19. The next Friday Central of Fort Wayne came to Auburn. The Red Devils displayed four periods of fine basketball technique, lashing the Tigers with a 29-23 score. On January 16 a blind tourney was held in Bluffton, the participants were Bluffton, Auburn, Decatur, and Kendallville. The Red Devils could not decide among themselves whether to play basketball or not, and dropped the afternoon game to Bluffton 19-18, and at night were de- feated by Decatur in the consolation game 18-16. Wabash, a new team on the schedule played the Red Devils on January 22 at Auburn. Accurate shooting from the field spelled defeat for Wabash by a score of 2 5-20. On January 29, Garrett was our host. Sickness on the squad kept several of the regulars from going. The game went into an overtime but Auburn emerged as conquerors. Result: 14-13. Seicnty-ci iihl The week following the team went to LaGrange and won an easy victory by a score of 28-19. The reserves played this game. The next game was with our Angola rivals. There was but little com- petition in this game. Final count: 26-16. On February 12 Auburn played North Side. The game was hard fought and Auburn won 27-22. With this conquest, Auburn completed its assault on the Fort Wayne schools, having won from all three public schools. Portland, also a new team on the schedule, played a conference game here. The Panthers fell easy prey to the Devils by a 46-17 tally. The final game of the year was played with Mishawaka there. The game was an exhibition of ragged basketball. Auburn winning 24-14. Out of twenty games played this year, the team was victorious in eighteen, the most successful season in Auburn ' s history. A silver loving cup, awarded each year to the member of the squad having the highest percentage of foul shots, was claimed by Ben Short with 68.7%. Jake Trovinger was second with 64.3%. Albright, Trovinger, and Williams I ' eceived sweaters last year; and Cornell, Dwight, Merchanthouse, Metcalf, Scott, Short, Thimlar, and Davidson were awarded theirs this year. Ill li Tournamen+s Angola was host to the sectional tourney this year. Ten men were en- tered in the tournament, Cornell, Davidson, Dwight, Merchanthouse, Metcalf, Scott, Short, Thimlar, Trovinger, Williams. Our first game was with Butler; although a hard game was expected Auburn won 30-12. Saturday morning Auburn and Garrett clashed. Although Auburn led the first quarter, the first half decidedly was Garrett ' s. When the teams returned for play at the half, Auburn rallied and overcame the Rail- roaders ' lead. Due to misinterpretation of a rule by the officials Garrett was allowed to score the field goal that tied the score and thus ran the game into a three minute overtime. During this period Garrett made three goals to Auburn ' s one, ending the game with a score of 27-3 1. Garrett took the sectional at Angola, only to be defeated the next week in the regional at Auburn by Columbia City, who had won the Ken- dallville tourney. Contestants in the regional tourney were Garrett, Co- lumbia City, Beaver Dam, and Lima of Howe. Of the ten boys who com- posed the squad this year, five of them — Davidson, Metcalf, Scott, Short, and Trovinger will not return next year, and so will have no other chances to go to state. The following ten members of the team were sent to the state tourney by the Athletic Association, as is the usual custom: Cornell, Davidson, Dwight, Merchanthouse, Metcalf, Scott, Short, Thimlar, Trovinger, and Williams. Scicnty-iiinc r Basketball Girls Wan ' ta Rinehold, N fa, Forward Wanita, high point forward this year, scored 222 points cut of the 410. Her accurate eye, good floor work, and clean playing was an asset to the team. W ' ilma Walters, Willie, Center ' illie filled well the gap left by her sister. Many play- ers wondered at her ability to get the tip. She will be back next year. la Reeder, Kccilcr Side Center Lyla was Wilma ' s partner, a position made by shifting Rhoda to forward. This senior was short, but certainly made up for her size in speed. Ruth Freeman, Freeman, Guard Carri, ' ing out the family tradition, Ruth proved a valuable player to A.H.S. this year. She was a regular guard and leaves a vacancy hard to fill. Margaret Huffman, Hiiffic, Guard This year found Huffie on the first six playing guard and also forward. Huffie is a regular whirlwind, and few forwards scored many points off her. Eighty 3£ Basketball Girls Mary Carper, Mary, Guard Few freshmen make the squad, but tall Mary proved her worth. Mary was a three position player, holding down either jump, s de, or guard positions. Merle Williams, Merle, Forward Here is a sophomore who showed unusual quickness and an accurate eye for the basket in six games this year. She will probably see much service next year. l r Phyllis Fraser, Phil, Guard. In six: games played this year, Phil demonstrated her worth on the hardwood the same commendable way she does on the fairway. Ill taf ' (U te Marjorie Miner, Marjie, Side Center. Marjorie is a sophomore. She showed her ability as a fast player in five games this year, and only committed one foul. Ruth Webb, Wcbbk, Guard This is Webbie ' s second and last year on the squad. She was a square shooter and showed her clean sportsmanship in six games. M Eighty-one Summary of Girls ' Season Even though this was Coach LaMotte ' s first year in A.H.S., she picked a worthy squ ad of twenty-four from the many girls who answered her call for basketball players. This squad practiced steadily throughout the sea- son, and under the efficient coaching of Miss LaMotte, turned out to be a team for Auburn High School to be proud of, winning nine out of fourteen games. The Auburn sextet journeyed to Ashley on November 6 for their first game. In spite of the fact that this was the first game for many of the girls, they trounced Ashley 46-13. Hamilton came to Auburn for the next game to give us our first de- feat 28-26. After leading throughout the next game we were forced to bow to Decatur 28-27. Two defeats put more pep in the team, and on December 4 they played Albion, coming out on the long end of the score 45-22. The following Saturday found the local team at Wabash. Again they were defeated by the Snowballs 33-25, but swore revenge in the return game. The team went to Columbia City for their following game, Decem- ber 1 1 , and won 21-14. The Ashley and General Electric teams were next to fall in defeat. Auburn winning by scores of 49-14 and 23-14, respectively, on the local floor. Redeeming themselves in the next two games, the Auburnites handed Decatur a 22-13 swamping on Decatur ' s floor, and the Wabash Snow- balls a sensational 27-23 defeat on the Auburn floor. The Snowballs have been defeated but twice in the last five years, once in 1930 and once this year, both times by the Auburn girls. Garrett defeated the squad 27-16 the following week. A new foe for Auburn was Rome City, which had not been defeated in the past three years. But Auburn had little trouble trouncing their team 50-12. February 13, found the team at Hamilton in hopes of a victory, but they were defeated 22-21. Auburn was victor in the last game of the season with a 27-19 win over Huntertown. Sweaters were awarded this year to M. Carper, ' 3 5, Huffman, ' 3 3, Reeder, ' 32, and Walter, ' 33. Last year R. Carper, ' 32, Freeman, ' 32, and Rinehold, ' 3 3, were given sweaters. Special notice should be taken of the first six, R. Carper, Freeman, Eighty-two cJa ul Huffman, Reeder, Rinehold, and Walter, as they played in every game of the season. Graduation will claim R. Carper, Freeman, Imhoff, Reeder, and Webb. The juniors have Fraser, Huffman, Rinehold, Scott, and Walter. Those from the sophomores are Miner, Keller, Shoudel, and Williams. Few freshmen make the squad, but this year they had M. Carper, Davidson, and Gordon. Plenty of good material is left for a successful team next year. •■ 1_ V Girls ' Individual Records Pl.iyci- Rinehold Gaiiu ' s Played 14 Points on Fouls 10 Total Points 234 Technical Fouls 5 Personal Fouls 7 Total Fojtls 12 R.

When the 1931 football season opened in A. H. S. a number of stu- dents turned out for the squad. The outlook for the year was bright, a number of experienced men from last year ' s squad were back in uniform. Also, there were a number of recruits in uniform. The squad immedi- ately buckled down to the task of making this one of the best seasons A. H. S. ever had. The season opened with Decatur at Decatur. Spectacular running be- hind a hard charging line spelled defeat for Decatur by a score of 54-6. On September 26, Edon, Ohio, invaded the Auburn gridiron only to be crushed under the hard tackling and blocking that the Red Devils exhibited that day. Score: Auburn 5 8, Edon 6. The next game was with Portland. The team fought hard through- out the contest and their fleet footed backs galloped all over the field but were able to cross the goal only once. Auburn went down in a 15-6 defeat. On October 10 the Red Devils played Farmer Center, Ohio. The team played hard but a number of men were injured from the previous game and were in bad condition. We were handed a 27-9 defeat, the second one of the season. The next game was with Garrett, in which Auburn was defeated 27-0. A number of the squad were injured in the game and had to be taken out, this was a big factor in Auburn ' s defeat. Ei bly-foitr lirtjwn Coscarclly Dwight Graha Kreide DeWitc Ji.irnhart .jVfcych an chouse ' I A Thimlar Saturday, October 24, the team journeyed to Columbia City. The gridders used numerous plays and every one seemed to gain ground. This meant defeat for the Eagles by a score of 3 8-19. Auburn closed the season on October 3 1 at Central High of Fort Wayne. The team was outweighed, but fought hard under these odds and made a good showing. Central won by a 44-7 score. Although the team lost more games than they won, the season as a whole was good. There were a few major injuries, such as a broken collar bone and a broken leg and a number of sprained ankles; but they were not permanent injuries and the boys were soon in good condition after the season closed. Silver footballs were awarded to: Brown, Cornell, Drerup, Graham, Kreider, Short, Snow, Sprott, and Thimlar. Letters were also awarded to these men, and the other members of the squad that received letters were: Barnhart, Carpenter, Coscarelly, Lash, Merchanthouse, Metcalf, Ramsey, and Thomas. Those still in school who received footballs the previous year and letters this year are: Davidson, DeWitt, Dwight, Scott, Shaw, Trovinger, and Williams.

The track team started to work at once and the summary of the season shows the amount of success it enjoyed. The season opened with a dual meet with Emerson High School of Gary. Althought Auburn was defeated 5 8 2-3 to 40 1-3, ours was a creditable showing. The next week the team journeyed to Albion to enter a quadrangular meet in which Kendallvilie, Albion, Wolf Lake, and Auburn were entered. The team took the meet in easy fashion, running away with all the firsts but one. The scores of the various schools are as follows: Auburn 82; K-ville 11; Albion 4; Wolf Lake 0. A dual meet with Peru was the next contest. Auburn easily captured the meet scoring 84 points to Peru ' s 20. All but two first places were taken by the team and in doing this some excellent records were made. On the following Saturday the squad journeyed to Marion to engage in a dual track meet with the Marion Giants. Auburn made an excellent showing although they were defeated 63-36. In the meet Williams set a new record in the shotput of 47 feet 4 inches. McClure set a new quarter mile record for the Marion track. Bluffton was host to the conference track meet. The Auburn thin- lies captured the meet and retained the silver cup which was won by Ei hty si 4l ll First roii : Barnhart, Knisely, Thimlar, illianis Si ' conil rou : Carpenter, Meccalf, Quance, W ' yatt rac k Auburn in the two previous years. The cup is now in Auburn High School ' s permanent possession because of its three consecutive victories. There were a number of excellent records set in this meet. Trovinger and McClure ran the century dash in ten flat. Williams high jumped 5 feet 1 1 Ys inches for a new conference record. Scores of the various teams that competed are as follows: Auburn 41; North Side, Fort Wayne 33 i ; Central, Fort Wayne 17 ' 4; South Side, Fort Wayne 16%; Garrett 63 4; Bluflfton 2; Kendallville 0. The last meet of the season was the sectional at Elkhart. Elkhart won the meet and Auburn took second place. Four men qualified for the state finals at Indianapolis, who were: Trovinger — Pole vault. McClure — 100 and 220 yard dashes. Lash — Mile and half mile. Williams — Shot put and high jump. Trovinger, McClure, Williams and Lash entered the state meet, but were unable to place in any events. The track year was successful and there will be a number of men left from the squad to compete again. The track teams for Auburn will carry on as ever. At the end of a successful season letters were awarded to: Barnhart, Carpenter, Davidson, Knisely, Price, Scott, Shaw, Thimlar, Trovinger, Williams, and Wyatt.

DcWitt. il hoii, Mcr . h .in t house Second yoir: Rotli, Rreidcr, Mr. Coar, Sanders, Holben Basketball Second Team A Thirteen games were played by the second team, and five lost, a very good season record. The material from this squad will move up to the first squad in the coming year or so. In their first game at LaOtto, the team, handicapped by a small floor, was defeated 4-1. Angola lost to them in a rough game 19-17. South Side defeated them by a score of 22-18 the following week. December 12, LaGrange was crushed under a terrific onslaught 18-11. K-ville defeated them in an overtime 16-14. The next week the seconds journeyed to Bluff ton and were handed another setback of 14-10. After a gruelling contest LaOtto was defeated 23-18. Although the game with the Wawaka firsts was expected to be hard. Auburn won in easy fashion. January 30 the squad brought home the bacon from LaGrange by a score of 19-17. Fighting all the way, the team won a hard earned victory from Albion by a score of 2 3-19. February 12 North Side challenged them to a battle, and an overtime decided 19-18 in Fort Wayne ' s favor. The last game of the season was with Spencerville, here, and the seconds won easily 27-17. Ei hty-fi ht Bottom row: Capcn, Gingrich, Grube, Walter Scconil roil-.

It is an excellent means whereby those who work and are other- wise unable to go out for the varsity can develop their basketball ability and derive much pleasure from the activity. Large crowds of student fans attend these contests; especially are interclass tilts and tourney games well attended. This sportive occupation has gamed such an impetus the last few years that noon league baseball teams have also been inaugurated. The Great American Game, as practiced here, has a strongly favorable faction as its booster. Interclass basketball games were played at noons, alternating with the noon league games. The latter were held on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, while the former were played on Thursdays and Fridays. The seniors, whose team was composed of George, Price, Capen, Grube, Capenter, Mock, Minard, and Smadel, carried off the honors in the in- terclass competition. The champions of this year ' s noon league were the Betas, who won nine out of nine games played. Those on the team were W. Price, cap- tain. Mock, Graf, Lockwood, Gingrich, and M. Price.

Williams, Albri,i;lu, Shiiiidel, W ' elcli, Scbring Tennis and Golf During the past three or four years, baseball, the former spring sport, has been dropped in favor of tennis and golf matches, for which more interest and enthusiasm has been shown. When the call for men for the golf and tennis squads was issued, a number of students responded. This shows that an interest is being taken in these two sports. Barney Cooper, Wesley Dwight, Webster Albright, Mike Frank, and Charlie Welch composed the golf team last year. Ed Welch, Bob Lumm, and Bud Grube made up the tennis team. There were a few meets held with various schools in the northern In- diana district, and Auburn made a very creditable showing in these. Auburn was second in the conference golf match, with South Side of Fort Wayne taking first place. This is the first time these sports have been used in varsity competition. With the large number of boys out for the sport this year, great strides will undoubtedly be taken in this, the second year of golf and tennis com- petition. Several of last year ' s veterans are back for 1952. Nhniy Bollow run : Mctcalt, Coscarell)-, Sliaw. Price, V ' Litt. Krcidcr Second row: Reeder, Walter.

The chenille A is awarded to those participating in football, the winged A is given those who score in track, sweaters are given to the first ten men on the boys ' basketball team, and to those girls on the basketball squad whom the coach thinks merit them by their play during the year. The track men for 1931 who were awarded the winged A were: Barn- hart, Carpenter, Davidson, Knisely, Lash, McClure, Metcalf, Price, Quance, Scott, Shaw, Thimlar, Trovinger, Williams, and Wyatt. Football letters for 1931 were presented to: Barnhart, Brown, Carpen- ter, Cornell, Coscarelly, Davidson, DeWitt, Drerup, Dwight, Graham, Kreider, Lash, Merchanthouse, Metcalf, Ramsey, Scott, Shaw, Short, Snow, Sprott, Thimlar, Thomas, Trovinger, and Williams. Silver footballs were awarded to Brown, Cornell, Drerup, Graham, Kreider, Short, Snow, Sprott, and Thimlar. DeWitt, Dwight, Scott, Shaw, Trovinger, and Williams received their silver footballs the previous year. Sweaters were awarded to M. Carper, Huffman, Reeder, and Walter on the girls ' squad. R. Carper, Freeman, and Rinehold received their sweaters last year. On the boys ' squad, sweaters were given to Cornell, Davidson, Dwight, Merchanthouse, Metcalf, Scott, Short, and Thimlar. Albright, Tro- vinger, and Williams received theirs last year. Nineiy-oue Athletic Prospects Next year the A. H. S. football team should be one of the strongest teams the school has ever known. The po- sitions of Davidson, Drerup, Scott, Shaw, Short, and Tro- vinger, who leave the squad this year, will be filled by Brown, Cornell, Coscarelly, DeWitt, Dwight, Graham, Lash, Quance, Snow, Sprott, and Thimlar. The backfield positions will be filled by Williams, Kreider, Berg, and Roth. There will also be some material from the freshmen and junior high boys entering Mcintosh next year. The schedule for 1932 includes Columbia City, Garrett, North Side of lort Wayne, South Side of the same city, and Decatur. A heavy loss will be suffered by the boys ' basketball team, although there is very much promising material from which to pick. Albright, Davidson, Metcalf , Scott, Sprott, and Trovinger will be lost from the squad, but the regulars remaining — Dwight, Merchanthouse, Thimlar, and Wil- liams — plus a number of other boys will fit into these members ' places. Material for the girls ' basketball team is also promis- ing, and the team will uphold the record of the Red and Black on the hardwood. The track team will not suffer a great loss, and the ma- terial coming in for the new squad is of high calibre. Although Auburn teams will lose a lot of notable ma- terial, much of promise and unusual quality will come up from the two under classes and from Junior High School. Nhicty-two SCHOOL LIFE School Life Shrcivd traders, .kiUjul I ' liiifcrs, bcaii ifnl weavers, and braie war- riors were those of the Pottawatunii nation. Theirs was as laried an ex- istence as had any of the aborigines of North America. Yet in the few hundred years from their conversion by Marquette to our ou ' n era, the pattern of life has changed. We no longer look forward to a career of primeval hardships, but to one of the luxuries of industrialism. From the simple camp-life of Pokagon ' s day to our numerous social events is a far cry. But so has civilization pro- gressed. L Ninc y-fbrce September 11 High School Entrtiiicc September eighth was the day of meeting for all four tribes of the Auburn nation. At the unhallowed hour of eight thirty, three hundred and sixty hallooing natives barged through the portals with many an outward wail but inward rejoicing. The crowd attend- ed fifteen minute periods in the morning. Zounds, there would be those sagamores who would assign lessons for the second day! During the first week the upper classes elected their officers and settled into the routine of another school year. Our one and only new pedagogue organized her gym classes and received instantaneous popularity among the girls. Two of the most active counsels of the school, the Hi-Y Clubs, selected their chieftains, and planned a year of activities. There was much retelling of tales by the Ag boys, they had a heap big summer. Teachers recounted harrowing stories of the fish that got away, and the holes that were nearly parred. Tank wasn ' t the only one who suffered on the gridiron from the heat which rolled over the land in great waves. How about Vergil class? But it really must have been what Sherman said war was for those who scrimmaged in preparation for the Decatur game. The Red Devils brought home the scalps froin the Yellow Jackets to the tune of 54-6, and made Edon shudder at the mention of our Jim Thorpes 5 8-6. Portland, and in particular their tlashv quarterback, was out for blood though. They had much in store for our warriors in the first game of October. Lest we forget! Joe Davidson was elected chief of the Auburn fflgh School Ath- letic Association. And with him and that redskin Carper on the warpath, our medi- cine looked good in athletics for the year. Mr. Schooley was put in charge of the banking end of the asociation, a doughty old warrior to guard the wampum. John Smadel, one of the best business managers we have ever had, began his Friday and Monday morning talks, which have done so much to back of the team. The Chatterbox Staff held a pow wow out on the Farley reservation with Sachem Rhoads furnishing the fire water. That measure was deemed necessary because of the lack of subscriptions. Truly was it instilled in their hearts that this was our year of Depression 3. Our immediate superior, Earl F. Fribley, esquire, was made head of the Rotary tribe. More honor to the nation of Mclntoshers. As usual. Thrift mornings every Tuesday began, with the head tribe establishing a precedent bv not banking one hundred percent the first day. Mr. Fribley also started his Monday morning ritual of Don ' t forget, to- morrow ' s Bank Day. As if we could ever! So ended one moon of the current school year. It was characterized by excessive heat the first two weeks, the organization of clubs and classes, mild hazing of verdant freshmen, outdoor social activities, and promise of a year crammed with activities. c i,, ; c , cl tcmbcr Sport Niucty-foitr Froih Ri ' Ci ' ptjou October Warm, hazy days discouraging to study but grandiose for golf turned into crisp, bright ones with frost on the punkins in the morn- ing; weather that made football the king of sports. Those generous draughts of cider and luscious individual pumpkin pies dispensed by the juniors at the said contests went well with the crowd, too. Portland came up from the south and lit into us 15-6. Farmer Center likewise went on the warpath and put Auburn in camphor, as it were, 27-19. Revenge was sweet: Columbia City 19, Auburn braves 3 8. The Garrett Railroaders refused to be throttled and won a 27-0 victory. A bitter pill, but the basketball game to be played later offered the fellows their chance. The girls started basketball practice at this time, with fifty-seven on hand the first night. About this time the upper classes began to realize that an institution had been in- augurated in A. H. S. Twice a week the still green freshies were sent in the mornings to a thirty minute Guidance Class. The seniors might have been famous too, had they been given the same chance that the class of ' 5 5 has had! Too, Mr. Weathers was using a new system in his junior history classes. Much rejoicing was heard from the head tribe that they had not had that method, it sounded like much more woe to them than the old type. The editor of the Follies , Maxine Farley, and the business manager, Stanley Thomas, were appointed at this t ' me. A week later the whole staff had been elected. If you don ' t believe that they settled down to hard work pronto, ask the editor! Word was received that the Follies of 1931 had received second place in the state contest, and All-American rating in the national contest, and that the Chatterbox had received third place in the state. Plenty of incentive for the respective staffs of the publications. Initiations into the various organizations were held on the seemingly coldest nights. The juniors staged a profitable carnival, especially the popularity contest, in whcih squaw Skelly was victor. Betty McCuUough and Stan Thomas were chosen as leads for the junior-senior play, The Charm School. Those were cold nights in the little gym when the grind of practice went on through three long acts. And if you wanted a drink of water in the deserted building, it was just too bad. The juniors crashed through again as they placed nine bright little Indians on the honor roll, with the sophomores having eight, an d the other two tribes trailing with seven. Bitter was that dose for the seniors. George Moriarty (try to pronounce it) was the first speaker on the assembly program. Remember the tale of the stone wall with the gate wide open? His was a dynamic personality if there ever was one. ThtinJi ' iing Herd III CL- III ' TIT Niucty-fiic r A November I Lock ' .-y R(i As early as this, those interested in the discussion, oratorical, and essay contests select- ed their subjects and started research on them. Harold Molitor and Howard Emme went out for the discussion, debating the subject of Un- emploNinent Insurance con and pro respective- ly. Joe Rainier took Personalities of the Con- stitutional Convention for his oration theme, Horace Clarke decided to use Origins of the Constitution as his. Maxine Farley, Alice Brown, and Nola Meek put on the warpaint in the essay contest. They chose Personali- ties of the Constitutional Convention, Expansion of the Constitution in the Regulation of Business, and The Treaty Making Power for their lengthy expositions. Again the seniors ' pride suffered when the sophomores nosed them out of the season ticket drive. It was a close race, and although we never thought those rockets would start of the world, it was finally decided that the more experienced classes were simply employing a bit of strategy. Williams ' Field was leased by the school board, where a gridiron and perhaps later a track will be made. Although the field was not particu- larly kind to the Red Devils this year, after it gets scraped and shoveled into condition for next vear all opposing parties had best look to their arnica. Ashle) ' and Butler tasted our medicine, which proved later to be better than ever before, for our first games. The girls dropped games to Decatur and the Wabash Snowballs but won from Ashley. Tales of strange rituals, unholy incantations, hideous warpaint, and vengeance vowed in blood were circulated bv those who seemingly knew what it was all about. The cause of it all was the defeat at Wabash. The future boded ill for the Snowballs; no poisoned arrows, understand, but a heap big lot of fight-um. Noon-league, that relief for deadly noon hour monoton) ' was begun. Ten teams made up of seventy men, taking the names of the teams from Greek Letters, started off the season. The interclass teams were also on hand, and these games furnished much interest. A handbook was published by the school. Although the seniors knew all about it anyway, a majority of them looked to the future and decided they would forget most of it in another ten years, so they forked over one dime, ten cents, for a copy. As far as profits go, The Charm School might have done better, but a good crowd witnessed the pla ' both nights. Naturalh ' the finale was breath-taking. You should have seen the members of the cast scramble around behind scenes to find a peep hole in the well ventilated scenery for that shot. You see, even for the cast, this was a novelty, because the principals in the scene had flatly refused to crash through with a Clark Gable act before the appointed eve. Turkey was the big topic of the month, even the sachems ' mouths watered. It was a poifect toikey vacation, too. S ,. .,; d,,,„„,„ Nincfy-si December Talk of Santa, skating parties, and bas- ketball of course, filled this usually grey month. Wes, Lenore, M. Farley, and Lucy dashed off with what they thought was an intelligent air on the B. and O. ' s ritziest train, the Capitol Limited. It was an unholy hour, five o ' clock on a winter morn is plenty early, but sunrise over Lake Wawasee is an experience, to say the least. Not to mention keeping a first string forward up dancing until the wee small hours the night before an important game. Just to show you how all-powerful Zeke ' s influence is, as far away as Chicago our delegates shuddered. No gangster massacres were seen by them, but the horse show took up a lot of Follies time! Mr. Zimmerman with harrowing tales of the deep sea, specimens of the ocean ' s most interesting flora and fauna, and a running fire of humor kept the whole school on the edge of their seats for nearly two hours. He was the second speaker on the as- sembly program for the year. Grade cards again, with Mr. Fribley much encouraged, for the grade curve was higher than normal. Thirty-one made the honor roll, the same number as the first six weeks. But the seniors regained their lost honors by placing ten on it, junior and frosh had eight, and the sophomores but five. Howard Emme again made news with his prize of an alternate scholarship to col- lege in the International Harvester Contest. If there ever was a chap with four con- sistent years of winnings, Howard was the lucky one. It looked as if the Follies Indians were to be massacred as determined juniors stalked through the halls with flintlocks, horse pistols, and all the accoutrements for a successful battle. Nay, nay, ' twas only Mr. Weathers ' annual pioneer exhibit. South Side, LaGrange, K-ville, and Goshen fell before an indefatigable band of scalpers. But Columbia City put us under the yoke. The girls organized noon league teams since there was to be no basketball played in the gym classes. A Greene Christmas was presented by the public speaking class on the Christ- mas program. The French classes also enjoyed a Christmas program. The Home Economics Club, Hi-Y clubs, and History Club all observed this holiday in some way. As a special feature, thirty-seven boys formed a choral group, and sang before the entire as- sembly. To say that their singing was greatly enjoyed is putting it mildly; it was so much of a success that the institution will probably be revived next year and perhaps for a longer period. The apples distributed by the faculty at the close of the Christmas program did much to create the right sort of atmosphere for the hols. Ninety-sci ' cn IIP ▼ January ! III A , 11 Hi-Y Di ' lcgafion Janu.ir) ' ciUed back wandering braves and maidens to the local encampment. The seniors felt that they really had the school year for 1931-32 licked, and already began counting the weeks. Central of Fort Wayne lived to regret the night they came to the Auto City. As did the Garrett Railroaders on their own floor. Was retaliation ever as sweet to any team as to Auburn when they nosed out their conquerors in football! Wabash also lost to us, but in the crucial game, Decatur with the conference title at stake, stood up under the test put to them as champions. Let ' s forget the Blind Tourney though. l.enore Williams topped the grade beautifully in the election for Editor-in-Chief of the Chatterbox. The other members of the major staff were elected at this time, and the minor staff was chosen the following week by those first elected. Lcnore proved competent in this position. As for a real example of basketball technique, did you see the weaker sex of the faculty making merry with a basketball on several evenings? The success of the venture was shown by the great amount of practice and the length of time that play went on. Something like two nights, wasn ' t it? Can you imagine the frosh getting all the honors in the contest for the elusive A? Thirteen of their tribe received two or more of the highest rankings that are given in A. H. S. And eight poor seniors tied the other three classes for second place. What makes the event even more unusual, is that April first was still a moon away. But the head tribe redeemed themselves by ranking higher than the average in a standardized test given by Mr. Weathers over the first semester ' s work. Bob Close made a recor d of 137 out of a possible 147 to take the highest honors among them. Perhaps the outstanding memory the ' Tollies staff will have of the month will be the pictures taken of the seniors, and the diversion created by the many group pictures. And Mr. Jones will forever remember the warped camera that caused all the fuzzy looking negatives and the retaking of pictures. The sophomores actually had to have three sittings, as it were. But was there any grumbling, rather the opposite! So ended a month filled with activities. Promised by February were the wind-up of the basketball season, ' Tollies drive, celebrations of birthdays of our famous men, Valentines, county contests, and lastly but all-important. eap year Clnittcrbox Makf-iip Sy III Nincty-cifibt Feb ruary Antarctic Dreams Mr. Lofgrcn, and espec ially Tom Spratt, provided enough material for talk tests during the remainder of the year. We liked the idea of a bath every night when the night was four months long! But, when we found that the members of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition had to cat spinach, the pendulum swung decidedly the other way! And seventy below zero is no place for high blood pressure. A. H. S. had another proud papa in Mr. Miller when papoose Ted Stanley arrived at the reservation. This history prof declares that the little fellow has already begun practice as yell leadc. This was the month of taking pictures for the annual. Mr. Schooley was on the verge of calling off his fourth period geometry class, for day by day his mathematicians walked out on him after a few minutes of desultory discussion. Miss Armstrong was likewise perturbed, and nearly couldn ' t give her freshmen a six weeks test. Speaking of tests, that jinx number of thirty-one turned up again for the honor roll. The juniors and sophs tied for first place with nine each, the seniors had eight, and the frosh five. Only six of the males made the grade, or perhaps we should say grades. Our list of victories sounded like a train caller ' s schedule. Portland suffered for the football victory they gained from us. North Side ' s Redskins did not stack up so well against the Indians from Auburn, and Mishawaka likewise bowed to the Red Devils. The girls lost a fast, rough game by one point to their Hamilton conquerors earlier in the season. But they triumphed over Huntertown, Allen County ' s champions, and Rome City, the Noble County champions. Shades of the Spirit of ' 76! At least so it seemed to the school when four august seniors minuetted gracefully in front of the assembly. One of the Colonial gentlemen wore grey spats, call it an anachronism if you like. Perhaps they needed more practice, because the four were but eight or ten measures ahead of the music when they dashed savagely out of the room, vowing never again. Harold Molitor, Joe Rainier, and Farley triumphed in the local contests in discussion, oration, and essay. Joe and Maxinc also won their county contest this month, Harold ' s was March eighth. Miss Wellbaum was at this time choosing the members for the typing team, and twelve students were making forty words or more a minute. Mr. Gumpp was also engaged in the process of selecting shorthand and bookkeeping contestants. Miss Armstrong had an unusually successful six weeks with her Caesar class, twenty-eight out of her thirty students making a C or above. jilt V Shtii cs of -?(} A question arose in everyone ' s minds: Will March come In like a lion or a kitten? Nhicty-niite March i nWnl ll III No doubt remained in the mind of anyone when March first barged into town. Has anybody ever heard of a sleet storm with light- ning? Jupiter must certainly have gotten his orclers mixed, but that was the result. One could have interpreted those omens anyway he pleased, for we won seven out of a possible eight firsts in the county contests, but lost to Garrett in the sectional. We still think, tothc Worries |.|jj Q jj. niedicine been right, we would have gone to the Butler Field House, but the Railroaders effectively threw us into the happy hunting grounds at the Angola tournament. Having won eighteen out of twentv games played, it looked as if the great day day when we would actually send a competing team to the State Tourney was in the offing. Butler succumbed easilv enough to the Auburnians Friday morning. The play with Garrett the next morning proved to be several horses of another color. Anyway, it was the only game between the two teams in the history of their yearly struggles when one could find an empty seat. Have you ever noticed that the Angola floor re- echoes every step that is taken by the players? That game sounded like Salmoneus driving his chariot over the bronze bridge. And the results were about as dis- astrous, too. Joe and Maxine won their respective county contests in February. Strangely both used the same topic for the oration and essay, namely, Personalities of the Constitu- tional Convention. Harold Molitor defeated six rivals in the discussion, debating the negative side of the question, The Several States Should Adopt a Form of Com- pulsory Unemployment Insurance. Alice Brown read Alfred Noyes selection, The Highwayman, winning the local and county contests. Betty McCuUough won the local vocal solo contest, but the Ashley entrant pleased the judges in the county con- test. Much to her disappointment, the district vocal contest was abandoned this year, another manifestation of the depression. Lanterns, played by Mae Elene Craven was the winning selection in both contests. The contest chorus sang Pale Moon to win their county contest, perhaps they were but aiding the Indian theme of the annual. In a way that would have made the original singers of the spiritual Swing Low Sweet Chariot pale with envy, the double quartette won their contest. The psychological effect of no accompaniment or leader made a favorable im- pression on all, but the harmony those maidens displayed, man oh man! Rainier and Farley placed third in the dis- trict contest. Harold Molitor ' s contest for district honors was to be held in April, and every day one could hear him bombastically Baltic GronnJ m One HiniJrcJ Biology Lab March delivering rebuttals and what not in room ten. Probably three-hundred of the three- hundred and sixty students in school knew the speech by heart by the end of the month. Anyway, rehearsals in front of the assembly helped his enunciation greatly! Have you ever heard the great Molitor say ' fish ' ? If not, ap- proach the gentleman and listen to him say feeeeeesh for your benefit. One noon Barbara George pulled one of her bright ones again. It is a physical impos- sibility to be around that )oung Indian without hearing something to write home about. With a resounding clang the five-minute bell rang. Twenty-five or thirty were packed in Barney ' s Ford — so Mr. Fribley says — and Bob Renner in particular was having a difficult time trying to emerge in one piece. So the local heroine chirps, Oh, we forgot the can opener! We promise not to say anything more like that. If you have ever tried to identify a picture of fifty or more by the negative, ask Rhoda to back you up in saying that it ' s a big, big job. Forty-nine of the females were properly accounted for, but the fiftieth remained as gloomy a mystery as her grinning ccmntenance allowed. Girls who stood next to the apparition knew nothing about the unknown. It looked as if Mr. Fiyde had gotten in the picture, and Ye Editor-in-Chief was about to write her down as Doc when somebody had the idea that the hair raiser was B. George in person. Miss George was consulted but she did not know herself. Identification was finally completed by means of dentistry, that being the most con- spicuous feature of the picture. Oh, yes, it was the aforem entioned Barbara. Just to show you why it pays to be a basketball heroine, witness the feast given by Miss LaMotte to her basketball girls. From chicken to peaches and red carnations. That ought to be an incentive to make Hamilton retreat next year. Miss LaMotte also made news when she inaugurated a clogging class after school. It seems that the Highland Fling aroused so much enthusiasm in her gym classes, and the demand was so great for more that it was a necessary step. No, that isn ' t a pun either. Speaking of the national sport of Scotland, we wonder what Lima of Howe thinks of the High- land Fling by now? If you never saw a bunch of embarrassed females, you should have seen the seventh period gym class when a manly bunch of athletes from Howe, over to practice for the regional, draped themselves becomingly over the bleachers and watched the best Auburn had to offer doing their daily hops. Incidentally, It was the first time we ever saw our pedagogue ' s ire aroused to such an extent; giggling boys put Gym Interior her on the verbal war-path pronto! Oiu- Hiiiuln-J One F U,l III iii iii ] iil V April April ran true to form the first purt of the month. It didn ' t look as if the proverbial showers were conducive to May flowers, for the bottom almost fell out of the thermometer. Nevertheless, Mr. Fribley reported daily on the condition of his crocuses, and was particularly elated when blue ones appeared. There was a lengthy discussion in his office, with Mr. Hornaday giving expert advice to the new f • ' ■ Drill horticulturist. April eighth the District Discussion contest was held in the Methodist church. Harold Molitor took second place honors, with his opponent from Central of Fort Wayne winning. There was no underestimation on the part of our contestant how- ever, he knew Joe Tucker would be plenty of competition. The next day four Auburn boys participated in the State Indoor Track Meet. They departed in high spirits, and the results justified their optimism. Lash, variously de- scribed b- ' several newspapers as iron-lunged , winning by sheer endurance , et cetera, stepped the mile in 4:3 7, more than a second faster than the old record. He also won the 8 80 in fast time. Jake Trovinger tied for fourth in the pole vault, but lost the toss of the coin. Dave took fourth in the shot put. And thus we came off with fifth place in that momentous meet, 11 ' 2 points. Cold, cold whined the wind out on Cord ' s half-mile track. Thin, thin were the track boys ' negligees. But results, the record mile, for instance, justified the agony. We rather bet that Ace could have run circles around any of them, and that King could have done the high hurdles in a lope, and that Queen would have sniffed dis- dainfully at any and all of their efforts, and that Jack and Babe would have indifferently eaten another oat, but the fellows were clean limbed at that, an addition to any track. It was the first year we have ever had a real track on which to practice, and the im- provement was marked. Iris Wimer was chosen as the Sunbonnet Girl, in the school operetta, and Web Albright played opposite her. It took some time for Miss Rhoads to coach Joe out of trying to orate while serenading Ruth Lige. Early oratorical training certainly be- comes a habit! Lyla Reeder proved to be rather the best of the high jumpers in the early stages of practice, clearing four feet with comparative ease. And that, if you ask us, is quite a jump for a diminutive Miss. Naturally big Mary Carper also cleared the bamboo pole at four feet. Only she gave the im- pression of an Irish hunter taking the triple bars, or a Belgian lunging out of a stall. But, It isn ' t the manner one uses, the results are what count, n ' est-ce pas, Mary? Debates and term-papers occupied most of the seniors ' time. That man Weathers has something new up his sleeve for every spare moment his wearied cohorts have. Ag Lab Oiu- HiiiiJrcJ Tuo 1 Vil May what does one do in May but count the days until graduation, or until the end of the semester if he is so unlucky as to be an under- graduate? Try as you will, lethargy settles over you, and only briefly and at long inter- vals does your mind emerge from its cocoon of dreams. The wind-up of the track season was ac- complished in much better weather than gusty Fost-Graih April brought. There is nothing like a nice, warm May day to bring out the best in any team. Came the last of the Chatterbox publications for the year. The whole organiza- tion was characterized by efficiency and determination this year; it is regrettable to say the least that the school does not back its biweekly publication with as much zeal as its athletics. Writers ' cramp made its appearance this month in more ways than the seniors ' theses! Follies autographs will be prized long after this agony will have been for- g6tten, though, so departing seniors sign their John Hancocks with a flourish. The innovations were received with applause, and the Indian theme stirred the primitive in us. There always will be a doubt in our minds whether we would or would not like to have the good old days return. Scalping must have been fun, else there would not have been so many devotees of the sport! Who will forget the wits of the class, eternally a step ahead of everybody, in- cluding the teachers! Remember when Bob and Wilbur loosened their neighbors ' desks and absconded with the bolts, when Horace did battle royal with the freshman, when the seniors tantalized the assembly teacher by weaving string back and forth between aisles A and B, when Maxine and Nola were sent into solitary confinement for in- citing riot in the assembly, and the day of the tourney when, with Mr. Fribley in the next state, all and sundry fled from Mr. Weathers ' restraining hand? In the Methodist church the afternoon of May 15, Reverend Craven, delivered the baccalaureate address to the senior class. This was the first time the baccalaureate was given at this hour. 1 =c ' Htil}j -l- f ' ,K Grniiiuh Pottawatomi Inn was the setting for the annual junior-senior banquet on the evening of May 16.

When the talkies came in, all the comedians and tragedians and those in between want- ed to sing — and did. They are about over that now. but there is another weakness they will probably never get over. They all want to do youthful parts — be de- butantes, flappers, demure girls and boys, high school and college students — in spite of their age, looks, numlier of children and grandchildren. Doubtless Mary Pickford is largely responsible by setting the example, but few film players are en- dowed with such perennial- ly youthful face, form and manners. After what has already been seen it would hardly be surprising to find Polly Moran taking the part of Little Eva, or WMll Rogers doing Little Lord Fauntleroy, Another Bit The Redskin Dust X MARKED THE FATED SPOT On the 4 2nd of last Feb- ruary, at 2:75 P.X. a vile crime was committed, the effects of which have still kept the minds of the hor- ror-struck public in a state of confusion and uproar. This dastardly deed was none other than the kidnap- ping of Midget Metcalf, Au- burn ' s 126 pound flash, from his bassinet last Mon- day night. Following, is the account of the crime as given by Lily Young, the modest nurse of the infant: I was just preparing to don my red-flannel night gown when a piercing scream assailed my eyes. I immediately donned my track shoes and did the two twenty to the infant ' s room. As I opened the doors, a sight of confusion met my ears. Everything was in perfect order except for the frayed piece of anchor chain on the floor which Metcalf had evidently bitten in two when the kidnappers tried to bind him. (P.S. The anchor chain was used in- stead of the usual platinum wire because of the de- pression) . No traces of the kidnap- pers ' flnger-prints were in evidence, although the mid- dle front track of a hippo was plainly visible on the ceiling. In my confusion, I hic- coughed and awakened the entire household. Imme- diately thereafter, I sum- moned ' Shamrock Jolmes ' Molitor of the local police force, and from there on. he took charge of the case. It is rumored that Met- calf was spirited away by Lipstick Sanders, a no- torious vamp of the under- world and Molitor feels con- fident that an arrest will be made soon.

Re- search investigations abroad and in this country are hot on the trail of the chemical formulae of vitamin A and D. and one group of stu- dents have announced that they can produce syntheti- cally the vitamin D which heretofore has been chiefly the lite work of the cod.
