The stock market debacle precipitated the present depression on a money mad world. Years of hardship and privation have followed. Now, in the spring of our senior year, the world apparently is starting the long slow climb back to prosperity. Therefore, we chose for the theme of the Follies of 1933, a phenomenon which has directly affected the life of every member of our class and which has run parallel to the dates of our high school history: the world wide economic depression following 1929. In keeping with our theme, we have given our book the sobriquet the Black Annual. The Black Annual is divided into three sections. The first. Autumn, corresponds with the Crash; the second. Winter, with the Depression; and the third. Spring, with the Recovery. EOKHART PUBLIC LIBRARY DEDICATION We dedicate the Black Annual to the Spirit of the Depression, that skeleton which periodically haunts mankind ' s cave, hut, or office. Speculation is an instinct in human nature. In prehistoric days man bet on his ability to kill wild game to eat. Today man gam- bles on his business ability in order that he may dine more luxuriously. When prehistoric man over-speculated the wild beasts of the jungle quickly made his mistake fatal. When modern man over- speculates, the wild bears of Wall Street kill his economic life. In the past decade men were too willing to speculate on their neighbor ' s business. Stocks were cheap at any price. Then came the crash and the subsequent failing of businesses, banks, and corporations. Dur- ing the past four years, the Spirit of the Depression has haunted us. 200 THEPEPIIESSIOM 150 OO 50 ' -- a iw mo 1131 1132 1133 The Spirit of the Depression 200 THEBEFMESSIOM ISO 100 SO a 1121 (130 1131 1132 1133 1 ORDER OF CONTENTS The Crash Autumn The Depression Winter The Recovery Spring The Crash AUTUMN AUTUMN Prices began to fall in the Autumn of ' 29. The bears, overwhelmingly victorious on Black Friday, vigorously followed up their success by overcoming what small resistance the defeated bulls were still able to offer. Retreat became panic. Values dropped ever downward to new low levels. Banks failed. The factory system weakened and, in places, cracked. This section of the Black Annual is de- voted to the school activities which come in the Fall, such as football and the Autumn calendar, jokes, and snapshots. The faculty and the classes, because they are the most representative and important parts of the school, are also included in this section. Thriiic h ihcsc dours, hi h school itiiciciifs, cicr changing yet always the same, pass daily to or from their classes. ENTRANCE TO A. H. S. The library, a place cither for further study or for pleasure, plays a very necessary role in A. H. S. life. ECKHART LIBRARY Hir h Carper Hiriiniii L. Broil II H. L. McKcinicy A. V. Mines SCHOOL BOARD Education is a state func- tion. The state provides that each local unit may take care of the administration of its own schools after the state has set up the general regulations. The local administration in Auburn is vested in our Board of Education which in turn appoints a superintendent of the schools, their executive officer. This year our high school offered the following curricu- la: academic or college pre- paratory, commercial, Smith- Hughes home economics, and Smith-Hughes agriculture. The Auburn School Board is composed of Herman L. Brown, Dr. A. V. Hines, and Hugh Carper. Their execu- tive officer is H. L. McKen- ney. Mr. Brown, at present the manager of the American Se- curity Company, is the presi- dent of the Board. He is well acquainted with school prob- lems as he was at one time the principal of Auburn High School. His career as a mem- ber of the Board has been long and his praise well deserved. Dr. Hines, a prominent physician and surgeon of Au- burn, is the secretary. His daily contact with the public well equips him to fill his position. Mr. Carper, a past school teacher and an ardent sup- porter of school activities, is the third member of the Board. He is assistant cashier in the City National Bank. Mr. McKenney has served as the superintendent of the Auburn Schools since 1923, prior to which he was principal of A. H. S. He has more than filled his position, and his ready cooperation with the students in their activities has been an outstanding quality. His friendly smile is well known to the entire student body. 10 First row. Miller. Young, Duguid, Fribley, Jenkins, West, Weathers SecmiJ row. Rhoads, Dawson, Sellers, Armstrong, Baxter Buck roil .

The classes choose officers who they think are capable to fulfill the duties best. Wesley Dwight headed the senior class as president. To aid him were chosen Lenore Williams, vice president; Wan ' ta Rinehold, secretary; Kathryn Scott, treasurer. These officers together with the loyal support of the class made the senior ' s last year very successful. The juniors selected Robert Merchanthouse as their executive, with Jack Sanders, Leola Ford, and Merle Williams under him. The sophomores re-elected Joe Lumm as president. The other officers ware Don Merchanthouse, Charlotte Lochner, and Barbara Gordon. The freshmen elected Robert Nelson, Joan Hoff, Don Miller, and Eleanor Fribley to conduct their class through its first year in Auburn High. 31 HISTORY OF THE CLASSES Heralded by The Crash, a new group of freshmen entered Auburn High School in the fall of 1929. As officers they chose Wesley Dwight, president; Robert Sprott, vice president; Lenore Williams, secretary; Phyllis Fraser, treasurer; and Miss Duguid, class sponsor. In spite of the depression, many ath- letes found places on the teams in the first year. Those participating were: Wesley Dwight, Richard Holben, Ma- rion Cornell, Frank Coscarelly, Philbert Berg, Don Lash, Howard Thimlar, Glenn Wyatt, Maynard Snow, Robert Sprott, John Graham, Wanita Rinehold, Margaret Huffman, and Wilma Walter. Wesley Dwight came to the fore by gaining the place of advertising mana- ger of the Chatterbox. Several of the class were members of the Glee Club and the Chatterbox staff. Joe Rainier, Wesley Dwight, Hilda Mae Sherer, and Mae Elene Craven entered the local in- terscholastic events. The honor group this year was made up of Lenore Wil- liams, Martha Frank, Wesley Dwight, and Hilda Mae Sherer. Under more depressing conditions the Class of ' 3 3 again entered high school, having attained the rank of sophomores. This year Waldo Raub, John Graham, Kathryn Scott, Hilda Mae Sherer and Mr. Miller were elected to head the class. In extra-curricular activities the class experienced a decided rise. Wes- ley Dwight was elected editor-in-chief of t he Chatterbox. Joe Rainier won the local, county and district oratorical contests and Lenore Williams placed fifth in the final state algebra contest. Lydia Renz, Vivian Johnson, Margaret Huffman and Phyllis Fraser took part in the operetta, Sailor Maids. Rep- resenting the sophomores scholastically were Martha Frank, Hilda Mae Sherer, Lenore Williams and Wesley Dwight. Along with the sophomores, the class of ' 34 entered for the first time. Their officers were Albert Sockrider, presi- dent; Barbara George, vice president; Marjorie Miner, secretary; and Gerald Roth, treasurer. Miss Kreft sponsored this class. As outstanding athletes they had David Williams, William Kreider, Gerald Roth, Jack Sanders, Burgess Barnhart, Willard Vachon, Irene Williams, and Merle Williams. Leola Ford, Alice Whitten, Neola Meek, and Jeanne Buss were placed on the school honor roll. The fiscal difficulties of the world had no effect on the money garnering of the juniors in 193 L Through their w ork at the football stand and the Jun- ior Carnival they were able to entertain the seniors at Pottawatomi. Foremost in these activities were the class officers, Joe Rainier, Keith Williams, Wanda Reynolds and Hilda Mae Sherer and the class adviser, Mr. Weathers. In basket- ball the class was represented by Wesley Dwight, Howard Thimlar and Marion Cornell; in football, by Robert Sprott, Stanley Brown, Frank Coscarelly, Wes- ley Dwight, John Graham, Maynard Snow, Marion Cornell, Clarence De- Witt, Don Lash, Howard Thimlar, and Glenn Wyatt; and in girl ' s basketball, by Margaret Huffman, Wanita Rine- hold, Wilma Walter, Kathryn Scott, Phyllis Fraser, Fern VanZile, and Bessie Leach. Representing the class in the play The Charm School and operetta, The Sunbonnet Girl were: Joe Rain- ier, John Graham, Lenore Williams, Phyllis Fraser, Virginia Skelly, Vivian Johnson, Lydia Renz, Wanda Reynolds, Arthur Lyons, Stanley Brown, Dale Lockwood, and Glenn Wyatt. Joe Rainier again won the coimty oration contest. Lenore Williams was elected editor-in-chief of the Chatterbox and Hilda Mae Sherer, Wanda Reynolds, Enlo Gaff, and Waldo Raub were also elected to the major staff. This year the honor students were Lenore Wil- liams, Wanda Reynolds, Vivian John- son, Martha Frank, and Hilda Mae Sherer. When the class of ' 34 returned with the rank of sophomores, they elected Burgess Barnhart, president; David 32 Williams, vice president; Pauline Keller, secretary; Marcella Dahline, treasurer; and Miss Rhoads as sponsor. Mae Elene Craven won the county piano contest and LeRoy Close did his part by win- ning the district geometry contest. Jeanne Buss, Mary Sprott, Alice Whit- ten, and Jack Sanders were mem- bers of the cast of The Sunbonnet Girl. The sophomore honor roll con- sisted of Marcella Dahline, Jeanne Buss, Fay Thomas, and Alice Whitten. With them, came another class, that of ' 3 5, choosing as its officers, Joe Lumm, Robert Berg, Rovine Dawson, and Geraldine Mason. Miss Kreft was again chosen as freshman class adviser. Don Merchanthouse, Patch Hines, Bob Berg, Barbara Gordon, Mary Carper, and Vivian Davidson found places on the athletic squads. Bud Phillips did outstanding work on the Chatterbox. In the operetta, the freshmen placed Ruth LIge, Barbara Gordon, Genevieve Elson, Alice McClellan, Geraldine Ma- son, Helen Bassen, and Bud Phillips. Alice McClellan, Charlotte Lochner, Helen Ruskin, and Barbara Gordon were honor students. Determined to bring prosperitv to themselves at least by a successful year, the seniors entered high school for the last time in September, 1932. To head the class they chose Wesley Dwight, Lenore Williams, Kathryn Scott, Wa- nita Rinehold, and Mr. Weathers. Wes- ley Dwight was named Editor-in-chief of the Follies. Joe Rainier and Lenore Williams took the leading roles in the junior-senior play, Mrs. Bumpstead- Leigh. Other senior members of the cast were Stanley Brown, John Graham, aldo Raub, Keith Williams, Hilda Mae Sherer, and Virginia Skelly. Joe Rainier represented the school in the discussion contest. Many seniors played important parts in athletics. In basketball Howard Thimlar, Wesley Dwight, Philbert Berg, Marion Cornell, and Clarence DeWitt were on the first squad. In football John Graham, Frank Coscarelly, Howard Thimlar, Wesley Dwight, Clarence DeWitt, Stanley Brown, and Kenneth Wolfe took prom- inent parts. Don Lash distinguished himself and his class by his record breaking achievements in track. As officers of the Athletic Association, Howard Thimlar was elected pi ' esident, Wanita Rinehold, secretary, and Phil- ert Berg, Glenn Wyatt, and Dale Lock- wood, business managers for football, basketball, and track, respectively. Le- nore Williams, Wesley Dwight, Martha Frank, Joe Rainier, Phyllis Fraser, Hilda Mae Sherer and Virginia Skelly were placed on the honor roll. Having risen to the status of upper- classmen, the juniors had a successful year under the leadership of Robert Merchanthouse, Jack Sanders, Leola Ford, Merle Williams, and Mr. Coar. They sponsored both a refreshment stand at the Fall Fair and the Junior Carnival. Jeanne Buss, Mary Krise, Mary Sprott, and Gordon Mefford took part in the junior-senior play. David Williams, Bob Merchanthouse, Willard Vachon, Jack Sanders, Burgess Barn- hart, Gerald Roth, Bill Kreider, Merle Williams, and Priscilla Long represent- ed the class in athletics. Leola Ford, Alice Whitten, Jeanne Buss, Betty Swartz, Fay Thomas, and Marian Thomas ranked highest scholastically. Joe Lumm again headed the class of 1935, assisted by Don Merchanthouse, Charlotte Lochner, and Barbara Gor- don. Mr. Miller acted as class adviser. Don Merchanthouse, Patch Hines, Bob Berg, Preston Stackhouse, Mary Carper, and Vivian Davidson showed proficien- cy at basketball. Alice McClellan, Genevieve Elson, Lauren Walter, Joe Lumm, Frances Close, and Helen Rus- kin upheld the class in scholastic honor. Again a new class entered the activi- ties of Auburn High School. Robert Nelson, Joan Hoff, Don Miller, and Eleanor Fribley as officers, and Miss Kreft as sponsor, headed the group. The class placed Denzil Myers on the first basketball squad and Don Myers, Tom Mason, and David Rodecap on the second string. Robert Nelson, Elea- nor Fribley, Robert Buchanan, and Gil- bert Shull gained places on the honor roll. Buchanan and Nelson won the Fort Wayne district algebra contest and placed in the state finals at Bloomington. 33 « :-i -) Du ' ight IV m DcWitt ]. Graham Cornell Ilk Coscarelly S. Broun Howard Thhnlar Captain FOOTBALL Last fall, approximately fifty students turned out for practice on the gridiron. Both veterans and re- cruits spent many strenuous hours in hopes of making the varsity eleven. The season opened here on September 17. Deca- tur was unable to stop Auburn ' s offensive plays and was defeated 18-12. The Red Devils next travelled to Fort Wayne to contend with the South Side team. But the Archer ' s fast offensive backfield spelled a 27-6 defeat for Auburn. The following week, the Red Devils again went to Fort Wayne, this time to North Side. This night game proved to be a thriller, ending in a deadlock 14-14. x n Ohio team from Hicksville next invaded our gridiron. Auburn proved too much for the oppo- nents and defeated them 27-12. This game was fea- tured by the playing of all Auburn ' s reserves. On October 15, the Bluffton Tigers came to Auburn. The Red Devils plaved a superior brand of ball and D. Williams Wolfe V K. Grahavt Myers R. Merchant house Kreider 34 Sprott Wyatt D. Mcrcbanthouie Ramsey R. Locht Saiufcrs trounced them 19-0. Several of our first eleven were confined to the bench because of injuries received in previous games. The last game of the season was played October 20, at Garrett. This was one of the most exciting games ever played between Auburn and the Rail- roaders but it ended with the Red Devils trailing by one point, 6-7. The team played a successful season, winning three games and tieing one out of six games played. Those who received silver footballs this year were: Denzel Myers, Coscarelly, Wolfe, D. Merchanthouse, R. Merchanthouse, and Ramsey. S. Brown, Sprott, Thlmlar, Cornell, Kreider, John E. Graham, DeWitt, Williams, and Dwight had previously been awarded these trophies. Letters were received by: Williams, Sanders, Myers, Coscarelly, Wyatt, Wolfe, Sprott, DeWitt, Dwight, Thimlar, R. Merchanthouse, D. Merchant- house, Ramsey, S. Brown, Kreider, K. Walter, Hines, Kruse, Gerald Roth, Lochner, Maxwell, R. Graham, Cornell, J. E. Graham and R. Brown. Philh-yf Berg Business Manager Hines 35 K. Walter Gerald Roth Maxwell Kruse D. Brown SEPTEMBER September 5th, 3 90 street urchines dragged weary and reluctant feet through the doors of Auburn High to seek employment for an- other nine months. With groans and sighs they lined up at their respective soup houses to receive handouts of locker-numbers and seat numbers. Thirteen post grads deigned to grace our august halls with their presence. One new teacher, Mrs. Baxter, joined our ranks. Studies fell thick and fast upon the heads of the poor youngsters. The assembly sat in rapt silence as tall stories of the summer ' s es- capades were told by Joe, Lenore, Miss Rhoads, and other gay roamers. The first and second weeks witnessed the choosing of leaders for the four classes. Dwight headed the senior officers with Gunga Dhin looming large on the horizon. The organization of Hi-Y Clubs, Westminster Guild and Glee Club got an early start. Forty-three lads answered Zeke ' s clarion call for brawny brutes to battle on the gridiron. Chatterbox announced to the world its intention to see all, hear all, and print everything. Decatur Yellow Jackets fell before our gallant heroes of the turf to the tune of 18-12. Mr. Fribley hoisted the banner Bank Day To-morrow and, as usual, pennies were forgotten and books were lost. The eleven was defeated by South Side and tied a night game with North Side. 36 OCTOBER October ' s Bright Blue Weather greeted the Free Fall Fair and a day ' s vacation. Those industrious juniors labored with all their might to replenish their well bent treasury in every way possible — with stands at football games, a stand at the Free Fall Fair — and there was a whisper of the Junior Carnival. Mrs. Baxter organized a girls ' soccer team. The reign of the femi- nine type was over. Students put their heads together and decided that Thimlar, Berg, Rinehold, and Mr. Schooley should head the Athletic Association. Nine lucky lads received invitations to joint the Boys ' Fii-Y which was now well under way. P. T. A. started off the year with a bang by having a pot-luck supper in the gymnasium. Three hundred were amused by a humorous imitation of a football team. Dick Fink re- moved saws, knives, and various other articles from the anatomy of Maxine Scott. Don Merchanthouse made a very substantial echo. The late Jack Sanders and Mary Krise are mourned by all who attended. The freshies, with the green almost worn off, were formally re- ceived by the upper classes at a gala event in the little gym. The Red Devils picked up their pitch forks and vanquished Blulfton 19-0. Another two days vacation gave rest to the weary brains of students while teachers attended the Northwestern and State Teachers ' meetings. The first period honor roll exceeded last years by nine names, forty being the total, with the juniors leading with thirteen students. Junior Carnival was a huge success. The big attraction was Bob Renner, imported wild man. Fortune tellers were patronized by anx- ious boys. Auburn High bowed her head to Garrett, 7-( , in a royal battle, well fought and the last of the season. Hardwood practice began and dopesters prophesied a successful season. 37 AUTUMN SNAPS The assembly at eight-thirty o ' clock one Friday morning. See Barbara George and Lucy Goodall sitting together at the back of the assembly? Wes Dwight starts down the long road to Franklin.

Miss Helen Ruskin, head and founder of the Ruskin De- tective Bureau, set for herself t he task of finding the school ' s most pessimistic boy. All year she has closely watched the members of the sterner sex, and at last she lias succcsfully com- pleted her quest. The list of names of those whom she had under considera- tion is long: Dave Williams, Jack Sanders, Harold Stump, Patch Hincs, Hughie Mac- Naughton, Wes Dwight, Phil Berg, Bill Cress, and Bob Ren- ncr. By means of the process of elimination learned under Pro- fessor Don Coar, she was able to cross many of these names from her list.

GUMPP INVENTS HAIR GROV ER Our esteemed pedagogue, Clyde M. Gumpp, Esquire, has long con- cealed beneath his stony counte- nance a warm spot in his heart for wretched mortals who possess only a sparse covering on the top of their crania. To be more ex- plicit, let us simply say — for bald-headed people. Last week while preparing a mid -afternoon snack in the kitchen, a bright idea came with a flasii, almost carrying away his equilibrium. With feverish activity, he combined in the dishpan, one cup of vinegar, three pounds of grass- seed, a drop of arsenic, and three and one-fourth ounces of orange cake coloring. After steeping the ghastly mix- ture until the first faint rays of dawn burst on the horizon, he submerged his glistening head in this mystic concoction. Lo and behold! when he raised his head, it was covered with a magnificent crowning glory of carrot-colored hair! Finding himself immensely popular ; t school due to his rav- ing locks, he decided, sad to say, as all inventors do, to capitalize his great contribution to science. Foregoing all pleasures for the sake of pecuniary gains, he spent all his leisure t ime raiding ash cans and trash heaps in search of suitable bottles for his worthy enterprise. Now ail those needing a head of (Continued on Page 95) BROWN CAPTURES JIG-SAW MIXERS Savage Battle Features Capture At last the two meanest crim- inals have been captured. Detec- tive Brown, member of the Rus- kin Detective Bureau, is the hero of this latest thrilling episode in the long and extinguished history of crime-detecting by this organ- ization. Detective Brown ' s word for word story of how he cap- tured the two meanest despera- does, Solomon Sawyer and Sawyer Solomon, is printed here for the lirst time. I knew, says Detective Brown, that for months no Au- burnite had been able to solve a jig-saw puzzle. Something. I reasoned, must be wrong. So, with my characteristic energy, I set forth to learn the trouble. The night is damp and drear .as I push my lonely way through the thick fog. Reaching my des- tination, Mr. Hacksaw ' s Jig-Saw Shop, I enter and secret myself under a counter loaded with a new shipment of jig-saw puzzles for raving enthusiasts (or maniacs). Hours pass; minutes chime; and seconds count. I amuse my- self by working several dozen jig-saws. No trouble at all. Suddenly the clang of a key being inserted in a keyhole and the harsh screech of a door slow- ly opening and closing chases the solemn silence of that tomb-like place to a remote corner of the county. The thunder of ap- proaching steps rumbles through the ancient building. One of the bandits produces a flashlight, and in its dim glow T discern the features of Sawyer Solomon and Solomon Sawyer. While I look on, the heartless fiends open box after box of jig- saw puzzles and pour the con- tents on the floor. Higher and higher grows the speckled horde. The movements of the bandits become ever more labored till at last the moment I have been awaiting arrives. They are mired!

Unknown to the A.H.S. stu- dents. Miss Martha Elizabeth Frank, a demure little brunette, had long been an object of inter- est to both these young men. Chauncey, by the merest chance discovering Don ' s interest in the maiden of his choice, im- mediately challenged the offender to .1 duel with swords to be held in the austere sliadows of the DeSoto building (see illustration below) . Promptly at tiie whittling hour the combatants met at the ap- pointed place. Mary Carper, the jilted sweetheart of Clarence, was at hand to see that foul play occurred. When Mary gave the signal for the fatal combat to commence, suddenly without a moment ' s no- tice Don broke into his record- smashing race. But — the mighty DeWitt, not to be outdone, came back with one of his famous flying tackles and grounded the fast escaping Lash.

RUSKIN DISCOVERS BEST PESSIMIST (Cont. from Page 40, Col. 1 ) suspected. All year Dave ' s whiskers have worried Helen. Was he eternally pessimistic about the outcome of the next athletic contest? For a long time Helen trailed Jack Sanders closely. She decided that he was not a veteran pessi- mist because he did not always tic his shoestrings in a double knot, so she turned her atten- tion elsewhere. And then Helen got her man! Purelv by accident, she learned that Bill Cress was the most dis- illusioned, hopeless, and cynical pessimist in school because the fear that some girl might turn him down prevented him from approaching any of his many ar- dent feminine admirers. RAINIER SOAP-BOXES FINANCIAL SITUATION No wonder a serious economic depression grips the throat of this mighty nation and chokes its business life, exclaimed Joe Rainier, famous A.H.S. soap-box orator, in his lecture entitled Sink or Don ' t Go Swimming, presented last night at 11:30 to a large crowd gathered in front of the high school. Mr. Rainier ' s speech was broadcast over a na- tion-wide radio hook-up. Even, Mr. Rainier went on to say, school children are hoarding tlieir pennies in old tin cans, under mattresses, in old sox, or in any other handy place. To them a stick of gum has become a treasure. One of the most prosperous A.H.S.ians, Don Merchanthouse, who is rumored to have eleven cents hoarded away in an old coat Iming was seen just yesterday with a large wad of gum stuck under his chin. When asked what his idea was, he replied, ' Well my jaws are tired. Since I have had this gum only two weeks, I can ' t afford to throw it away just yet. Next week ril give it to my kid broth- er if it isn ' t stale. ' That, cried Mr. Rainier in his best oratorical style, is only one example of how our younger generation is blocking financial recovery. Unttl the ultra-con- servative youth of this country loosens its hold on its pocketbook, this panic will continue to stalk up and down the length and breadth of our fair land. Miss Eleanor Fribley, interna- tionally known singer, will give a concert of classical songs at the Armory at 4 o ' clock next Satur- dA afternoon. LATIN STUDENTS NOTICE!! We have just received a shipment of CAESAR PONIES Reed ' s Stable P.S. — No names will be men- tioned 41 AUTUMN SUMMARY The Autumn section of this Blac k Annual has been devoted to those people and events which play an important part in the opening days of school, just as the Crash preceded the Depression. Foremost comes the school board and faculty who make it possible for our school to be managed in an intelligent, orderly way. But a school without pupils would be in a sadder plight than the world without prosperity. Perhaps one of the chief factors in making the senior class with seventy-four members one of the largest ever to graduate from Auburn was the unemployment prevalent in the com- munity. The freshman, sophomores, and juniors were active in supporting the school and in the various clubs and organizations. Sixteen members from the four classes were chosen to represent their respective groups whenever necessary. Much of the responsibility for the success of the classes must be borne by these officers. This period of the year is also known as the football season. The long, hard hours spent in practice after school were rewarded by a successful season. Although some men did not participate in any regular games, all received alike the benefits of exercise, competition, and self-discipline. This section paves the way for the time more full of achievements. Winter. Since Winter is the time of greatest activity about school, it has been named the Depression which signifies the superlative degree. 42 WINTER The Depression WINTER After the initial Crash, the Depression, less spectacular but more deadly, began to freeze economic activity. Men, who had at first hoped that the disturbance might be merely temporary, prepared themselves for a long fast. Prices continued to drop slowly. Prosperity is just around the cor- ner, believed for a time, became a joke. It is during the winter months that the student settles himself down to the long and often monotonous grind of school. At this time school seems to stretch away be- fore him without end. In this section are the clubs and organ- izations which are most active during the long winter months. Basketball, the win- ter sport, and the winter calendar, jokes, and snapshots are also placed in this section. 43 J Thh entrance is busiest during the basketball season, when students are continually going to and coming from the gym. The EAST ENTRANCE 44 On a colli winter morning, the student is glad indeed when he reaches the warm haven afforded by these doors. The FRONT ENTRANCE 45 Front roif: Buchanan, Ruskin, F.

This year ' s honor group was increased to twenty-four by the un- usually large number of ties. Every six weeks, an honor roll con- sisting of all those who received two or more A ' s is drawn up. The hon- or group pictured here is composed of the students who maintained the high- est all around grades for the entire year. A list of the honor group follows named in the order of class superiority. Seniors — Lenore Williams and Wesley Dwight tied for first and second; Joe Rainier, third; and Hilda Mae Sherer, Martha Frank, Virginia Skelly, and Phyllis Fraser tied for fourth. Juniors — Jeanne Buss, first; Leola Ford, sec- ond; and Alice Whitten, Fay Thomas, Marion Thomas, and Betty Swartz tied for third and fourth. Sophomores — Joe Lumm, first; Alice McCiellan, sec- ond; and Lauren Walter, Genevieve Elson, Frances Close, and Helen Ruskin tied for third and fourth. Freshmen — Bob Nelson and Bob Buchanan tied for first and second; Eleanor Fribley, Pauline Warstler, and Gilbert Shull tied for third and fourth. 46 front row: R. Lige, V. Johnson, W. Reynolds, M.

The sev- eral events are represented by the best talent in the literary and musical ac- tivities of the school. In the discussion contest, Joe Rainier, taking the negative side on, Resolved: That at least one-half of the local and state taxes should be derived from sources other than tangible property, won the county and entered the dis- trict contest. In the algebra contest Robert Nelson and Robert Buchanan represented Au- burn. In the geometry contest Paul Souder and John Rieke were the con- testants. Buchanan, Nelson, and Rieke won the Fort Wayne district and went to the state finals on April 14. The girls ' chorus and double quar- tette sang with the county chorus held in Garrett. Many of the underclassmen took an active part in the contests this year and displayed talents of a high type. 47 HISTORY CLUB front row: B. Swartz, Whitten, R. Sliull, Coscarelly, K. Walter, W .

It helps students to become bet- ter acquainted with their instructor and also teaches them to take respon- sibility upon themselves in preparing a program. This year the organization helped to provide toj ' s for the needy children of Auburn at Christmas. Every other Wednesday evening the club met at the Y. M. C. A. The programs consisted of talks, music, occasional contests, and refreshments. This organization has completed its twelfth year with Mr. Weathers as sponsor. The membership of the club is composed of those juniors and sen- iors who maintain an average grade of C or above in history, or in senior civics and economics. Those interested in the club met at the beginning of the year and chose their officers as follows: Waldo Raub, president; Keith Williams, vice presi- dent; Lenore Williams, secretary- treasurer; Kenneth Walter, assistant secretary-treasurer; and Frank Cos- carelly, publicity. 48 GLEE CLUB Front roil .

The double quartet consists of Ruth Lige, Jeanne Buss, Marion Thomas, Geraldine Mason, Genevieve Elson, Evelyn Mottinger, Pauline Keller, Bar- bara Gordon, and Alice McClellan. 49 JUNIOR-SENIOR PLAY MRS. BUMPSTEAD-LEIGH Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh is a com- edy of the so-called elite of England and America. This play, directed by Miss Rhoads, was presented December first and second in the high school aud- itorium. The story centers around Mrs. Ade- laide Bumpstead-Leigh who grinds everyone under her heel to satisfy her own ambitions. Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh, her mother, Mrs. DeSalle, and her sister, Violet, are visiting the Rawsons. Violet, who is engaged to Anthony Rawson, falls in love with Geoffrey, his brother. Violet is determined to tell that her family were originally patent-medicine sellers in Indiana. Complications arise when Adelaide ' s former sweetheart appears, when Violet tells the whole truth and when the DeSalles are requested to leave. But Adel.iide carries the situation off with a high hand through information ex- torted from Kitson, the butler. When she threatens to finish the whole affair, the Rawsons surrender and allow Violet to marr) ' Geoffrey. Phyllis Fraser, Waldo Raub, Enlo Gaff, Alice Whitten, Marjorie Miner, Vivian Johnson, Walter Kruse, and Robert Renner served on the stage and property committee. Those on the publicity committee were Frank Cos- carelly, Kathryn Scott, Barbara George, and Betty Swartz. Fay Thomas acted as promptress.

The story is as follows: Mrs. Henry Coleman arrives in the village to conduct a contest for music scholarships which is held at the Mea- dows home. On learning of the con- test, Susan Clifton, the Sunbonnet Girl who is an orphan left in the charge of Mr. and Mrs. Scroggs, timidly asks to be allowed to take part. The Scroggs re- fuse to allow her to do this, and she is discouraged until she tells Bob and Bar- bara Coleman and their chum, Jerry, her story. They promise to help her. The night of the contest, after the others have sung. Sue appears, beauti- fully dressed through the aid of Bar- bara. She sings her solo and is imme- diately awarded the prize. Bob Coleman, overcome by her beauty and charm offers his heart but Sue refuses because she is so poor. In the meantime, Barbara and Jerry an- nounce their engagement. Constable McSpavm arrives and announces that he has searched the Scroggs ' home and found a deed to a Los Angeles town lot which is of immense value. This removes the last barHer to the rriatch between Bob and Sue, and the couples are happy in the prospect of a double wedding.

The Y. M. C. A. also sponsors this organization. The pur- pose of the club is to foster a keener interest in Christian living and promote social activities. The following served as officers this year: Hilda Mae Sherer, president; Wanita Rinehold, vice president; Wan- da Reynolds, secretary; Barbara Gor- don, treasurer; Margaret Huffman, ser- geant-at-arms; Vivian Johnson, pro- gram chairman. Mrs. Baxter and Mrs. W. C. McBride acted as sponsors for the organization. This year the members drafted a new constitution. Among the im- portant changes was that no girl would be eligible for membership until her sophomore year. The organization sent Christmas baskets to needy families and also as- sisted in gathering clothing for the Associated Charities. The two Hi-Y Clubs held a joint pot-luck supper in January. The Rev- erend H. L. Craven delivered an in- structive speech on character building. This meeting proved profitable as well as interesting. 54 Front roll : D wight, R.

M. C. A., the Boys ' Hi-Y is one of the most active organizations of the school. The local club obtained its charter in 1922. One of its chief projects this year was fos- tering sportsmanship throughout the student body. Under the helpful lead- ership of Mr. Kreider and Mr. Miller, this club has completed a very suc- cessful year. The officers for the first semester included: Wesley Dwight, president; Dale Lockwood, vice president; Rich- ard Holben, secretary; John E. Graham, treasurer; and Joe Rainier, program chairman. During the second semester the organization was headed by Frank Coscarelly, president; Bill Kreider, vice president; Joe Lumm, secretary; Ar- thur Lyon, treasurer; and Waldo Raub, program chairman. The purpose of the Boys ' Hi-Y is to set up high standards of Christian char- acter throughout the school and com- munity. During the year the mem- bers sponsored several charitable proj- ects, including the providing of Christ- mas baskets for the needy and the gath- ering of clothing for the Associated Charities. Several Auburn men gave interesting and instructive talks to the club mem- bers on important current topics dur- ing the year. 55 FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA I unit lou : Tilbury. Kruse, H itz, Dawson.

Drcrup, Myers The Auburn chapter, number 18, of the Future Farmers of America has completed its second successful year. There were thirty-four members in the organization this school year. Meet- ings were held on the first and the third Wednesday of each month. At each meeting, in addition to the regular ceremonies, talks on agriculture were given, and a parliamentary drill was held. Several social meetings were held during the year at which guests were entertained. The officers for 1932- 193 3 were: President, Marshall Funk; vice president, Allyn Dawson; secre- tary, Dale Heitz; treasurer, Gordon Maxwell; reporter, Walter Kruse; and adviser, Mr. Hornaday. The members of this chapter assisted in arranging for the flower show held by the Better Yards and Gardens Club; exhibited all kinds of live stock and farm crops at the Free Fall Fair where they received a large proportion of the awards; secured a large 4-H Club en- rollment and in some cases had direct charge of this work also. They spon- sored a Pest Contest, took part in county and state judging contests, and gave several demonstrations. The local group was represented at the State Fair by Walter Kruse, who won the right to be a member of the County Live Stock Judging Team. Several members took an active part in the program at the district convention held at Columbia City on April 10. The delegates to the State F. F. A. Con- vention, which was held at Purdue University October 20-22, were: Rob- ert Souder, Paul Provines, and Marshall Funk. SCHOOL BANKING CASHIERS kmmi This year, due to world-wide finan- cial conditions, our usual high stand- ing in Thrift has fallen. However Auburn has had a more successful year than the average high school, according to Thrift, Incorporated. For the first time in eleven years, bank days were omitted for two Tues- days. This unusual event was occas- ioned by the federal bank moratorium. Twenty-five students acted as cash- iers in the various class-rooms, collect- ing the money and preparing it for the bank. iS-SS HOME ECONOMICS CLUB This vear the Home Economics Club again elected Rachel Rice as its presi- dent. The other officers were: Irene McClellan, vice president; Ruth Lucille Grogg, secretary-treasurer; and Doro- thy Duke, news reporter. The club, with Miss Krcft and Miss Jenkins as sponsors, met once a month. As special activities, they sewed for charity, gave parties for the F. F. A., held a pot-luck, and presented a play on home life. BSi 57 CHATTERBOX STAFF The major staff for the first semester was: Miss Rhoads, faculty advisor; Lenore Wilhams, editor-in-chief; Hilda Mae Sherer, associate editor; Wanda Reynolds, managing editor; Frank Coscarelly, business manager; Enio Gaff, advertising manager; and Waldo Raub, circulation manager. One of the long established publica- tions of the school, the Chatterbox was discontinued at the end of the first semester this year because of the great reduction in subscriptions. It is prob- able that the paper will be resumed as soon as sufficient interest in it is dis- played by the student body. e ssy® ART DEPARTMENT Fifteen students have shown interest in the art department this year, and under the capable supervision of Miss Sellers, they have accomplished some worthwhile projects. These students made the posters for the play and operetta and made paint- ings to be used as properties. For their own use they made tooled leather bags, wall hangings, and other ornamental objects. The art work of the annual was done by senior art stu- dents. Instruction was given seventh and eighth periods each day. PHYSICS CLASS One of the most interesting sciences, offered to students is physics which is capably taught by Mr. Schooley. His witty remarks have done much to en- liven the class. Near the end of the year, moving pictures were presented to better illus- trate the theories which were being studied. Experiments were made in the laboratory periods on Thursdays and Fridays. e 55 MANUAL TRAINING Manual training is one of the prac- tical courses in our high school curric- ula. This course is taught by Mr. Gos- per in the Wood Shop on the Harrison grounds. The class, a large part of which is made up of freshmen, is open to all boys in high school. Technical knowledge and certain bench work must be completed and then the boys are allowed to do indi- vidual projects. J9 COACH YOUNG Zeke has coached Auburn ' s football, basket- ball and track squads for the past nine years and is largely responsible for the high degree of success en- joyed by these teams during this period. He has turned out winning football elevens. His winning percentage of scheduled basketball games in the past nine seasons is .764. He has also developed four con- ference championship track teams. Zeke takes an interest in seeing that boys whom he considers fit continue their education and he does everything he can to help them to go to college. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Athletic Association introduced a new feature this year by electing three business managers in place of the usual one. This system gives more boys the advantages that this position involves. At the first meeting of the year, the association, which is composed of those on the athletic squads and those buy- ing season tickets, elected Howard Thimlar, president; Wanita Rinehold, secretary; and Mr. Schooley, treasurer. Mr. Fribley again acted as faculty advisor. Philbert Berg was chosen to act as business manager for the football sea- son. At the beginning of the basket- ball season, Glenn Wyatt filled this po- sition. Dale Lockwood served during the track season. This system has worked well and will be continued. Thhnlar Wyatt RiinholJ Schooley 60 COACH BAXTER Because of her impartiality and friendliness, Mrs. Baxter has won the approval of all during her first year here. She developed a large basketball squad and in the game she emphasized the idea of making basket- ball a thinking sport. Her introduction of sports and activities never before so popular, such as soccer, Danish gymnastics, and tennis, has made her gym classes delightful to each pupil. Her objective in all the activities has been to give the girls the knowledge of a game as a social asset. i-% BASKETBALL CAPTAINS AND YELL LEADERS The boys ' squad selected as their captain an outstanding star in Au- burn ' s principal sports, Dave Williams. He has made remarkable records in football, basketball, and track in which he has participated for three years. He has made the highest number of points ever scored by an individual in Auburn High School. Margaret Huffman was chosen as captain of the girls ' team. Her places on the floor as forward and guard in her junior year and guard in her senior year were well filled. Leon Sebring, our mascot yell lead- er took the team to victory many times through his pep. His reliable assistant was Tank Brown. Sebring D. Willh Hllffn S. Broil It 61 BASKETBALL BOYS Howard Thimlar, Hod Guard The cool playing of Hod, a veter- an guard, exerted a steadying influ- ence on the team. Hod had a habit of dropping in a couple of baskets at a critical moment. Wesley Dwight, Wcs, Forward Wes has finished his second year as a regular for- ward. Always a fighter, he collected enough points to rank as the team ' s second high scorer. Philbert Berg, ' Phil Forward Ineligible till the end of the first semester, Phil set a hot pace when he got in the game. He received the cup for the best foul shooting percentage. Robert Merchanthouse, Bob Guard Bob, another veteran, was a versatile guard. He had a tricky one-handed shot which few opposing players were able to guard when Bob decided to shoot. =. Donald Merchanthouse, Don, Forward Only a sophomore this year, Don alternated at forward. A steady player and a good ball handler, he got his basket in nearly every game he played. 62 BASKETBALL BOYS Marion Cornell, Marion, Forward Marion played either forward or center. He was always willing to block an opponent while his team- mate shot. VA-J ' A : Clarence DeWitt, Chauncey, Guard This was Chauncey ' s first and last year on the first ten. His defensive play was outstanding. William Kreider, BiU, Guard Bill was undoubtedly the fastest cutting man on the team. His drives past the pivot man should make points next year. Willard Vachon, Willy, Center With his height and under-the-basket shooting ability, Willy is a tough man to guard. He can han- dle the ball well. Denzil Myers, Jess, Guard This big freshman shows plenty of promise. Fast and shifty on the floor, Jess should become a mighty tough basketball player. 6 SUMMARY OF BASKETBALL SEASON In the first game of the season, Auburn met Ashley on the home floor. The Ashlev Cagers were eas- ily defeated 53-22. The Red Devils next travelled to Butler for a game which proved to be a thrilling con- test. Auburn won 28-2 5. With the keg at stake, Angola came to Auburn with high expectations for victory but were disappointed by the small end of a 3 3-14 score. November 23, a charity game was staged. The Red Devils met a strong Alumni team but were able to nose out a victory, 18-17. Due to ragged basketball, the team met its first defeat at the hands of the fast Goshen basketeers 3 3-23. The next week, however, the Mishawaka Cavemen were thoroughly trounced in a one-sided game 40-15; and on December 28, our old rivals, the Kendallville Comets, came to Au- burn and were defeated by one point, 3 5-34. The Mclntoshers, travelling out of town for the next tilt, took the LaGrange team into camp, 3 5-26. Meeting South Side, the 1931-32 conference champions, the Red Devils were able to edge out a vic- tory over them 29-28 in an over- time battle. During the vacation period Auburn successfully ended the year of 1932 by downing Bluff - ton 39-21. For the first game of the new year the team went to Central and added another one-point victory, 2 5-24. In the Decatur game, the strength of the team was augmented by the eligibility of Berg, star forward. Al- though a hard game was expected. Auburn won easily 34-17. This vear the annual Blind Tour- ney was held at Decatur with Bluff- ton, Decatur, Kendallville, and Au- burn participating. The Red Devils earned the right to play Bluffton in the evening by defeating Kendall- ville 3 2-26. At night, due to in- ferior playing, they fell before the Bluffton Tigers 2 5-13. On January 20, the team went to Wabash, where they suffered the second defeat of the season, 15-12 in a game featured by tight defense. Our rivals from the Railroad City came to Auburn on January 27. Auburn gained revenge for the grid- iron loss by defeating them 27-24. When we again met Angola to con- tend for the keg. Auburn proved the victor in a walk-away 34-11. Making an 8 5 mile jaunt, the Red Devils met Hartford Citv, a new member on our schedule and our strongest opponent for the North Eastern Indiana Conference title. The team, playing the best game of the season, emerged victors 36-22. Due to inaccurate basket shoot- ing Auburn was handed their last defeat of the season 21-28 by the North Side Redskins who later en- tered the semi-finals of the State 64 Tourney. February 17, Auburn again met LaGrange and won a 28-21 victory. On February 24 Auburn closed a successful season by defeating the strong Columbia City team 30-23. Out of nineteen games played this year, Auburn won 16 and lost only one conference tilt. Because of this record, the Red Devils tied with Hartford City for the North Eastern Indiana Conference championship. This was the first year that Auburn ever earned this honor. Kreider, D. Merchanthouse, Berg, Denzil Myers, Vachon, and DeWitt were awarded basketball sweaters this year. Dwlght, Cornell, R. Mer- chanthouse, Thimlar, and D. Wil- liams had received these awards in the past years. The silver loving cup, awarded each year to the player having the highest percentage of foul shots, was earned by Phil Berg with 5 3.3%. Dave Williams second with 51%. TOURNAMENTS This year Garrett was host to the sectional tourney. Coesse, Etna Township, Washington Center, Churubusco, Columbia City, But- ler, St. Joe, Ashley, Waterloo, Lar- will, South Whitley, Jefferson Cen- ter, Garrett, Spencerville, and Au- burn entered teams. Auburn and Garrett renewed their feud when they met in the last game of the first round. The Red Devils were unable to outplay their oponents and were eliminated from the competition by a score of 23-20. Garrett and Columbia City worked their way to the finals where Columbia City won the right to enter the regional. The following week Auburn en- tertained the regional tourney. The participants were Columbia City from the Garrett sectional, La- Grange from the Angola sectional, Kendallville from the Kendallville sectional, and Beaver Dam from the Warsaw sectional. Beaver Dam defeated Colum- bia City in the finals to represent this district at the state tournament. Berg, Barnhart, Cornell, DeWitt, Dwight, Kreider, R. Merchanthouse, D. Merchanthouse, Denzil Myers, Thimlar, Vachon, Williams, and Wyatt were sent to the state tour- ney by the Athletic Association. Five of the eleven members of the squad, Cornell, DeWitt, Dwight, Berg, and Thimlar, graduate, leav- ing R. Merchanthouse, D. Mer- chanthouse, Kreider, Williams, Va- chon, and Myers to uphold the hon- ors of the school. 65 BASKETBALL GIRLS Wanita Rinehold, Skeefer, Forward For two years Skeeter has been high scorer. Her briUiant speed has made her a key note player. Wilma Walter, Willie, Center Skill at interceptions with a speedy attack has made Willie an invaluable center. Mary Carper, Carp, Guard Mary was an indispensable player. She has held down two positions, guard and center. She will be back next year. Kate Scott, Katie Guard Katie was a regular guard. As a good defensive and dependable player she was always on duty. Her vacancy will be hard to fill. Merle Williams, Merle, Forward Merle proved her ability by play- ing three positions. She was al- ways there with pep and determina- tion. She will be back next year. 66 ..; . . - ...„ .. BASKETBALL GIRLS Priscilla Long, Peg, Side Center Peg is consistent and dependable. As swift as lightning character- izes her ability on the floor. She will play an important part next year. Ir Vivian Davidson, Sis, Forward Sis should be another regular in next year ' s crew. She was a clean shooter. She should develop into a good forward. Neva Shoudel, Ni ' ia, Forward Neva ' s accurate eye for the basket should lead the team to many victories. She is quiet and plays clean basketball. Dorothy Duke, Duke, Guard We are looking forward to Duke for a big game next year. This is her first year on the team but she h.i.s another year ahead of her. Doris Coyle, Doris, Guard This is Coyle ' s first year on the squad. She has two more years to prove her ability as a player. 67 SUMMARY OF THE GIRLS ' SEASON This year the girls ' season was shorter than in previous years. In the games played, the girls showed a dependable brand of basketball which spoke well for Coach Baxter ' s instruction. Mrs. Baxter ' s first year as girls ' coach was very satis- factory. Auburn lost but one game during the season. In the first game on the schedule, the girls made a good showing against Ashley, winning 41-9. Due to good team work, the Au- burn sextet was able to defeat the Garrett basketeers 37-23. Many in- terceptions featured this game. In a poorly played game, Auburn defeated the St. Joe team 43-16. Because of Auburn ' s lack of team- work, St. Joe led at the end of the first quarter. Auburn suffered its one and only defeat at the hands of the Hunter- town team. Our team was hindered greatly by the absence of Rinehold, star forward, who had a sprained ankle. In a game, outstanding because of the good, clean playing. Auburn de- feated Decatur 31-19. In a practice scrimmage for the oncoming Garrett game, the girls defeated the Alumni by a score of 28-16. Garrett came to Auburn, seeking revenge for their defeat earlier in the season, but they returned home with the short end of a 26 to 20 score. The girls again defeated Ashley in an easy game, 22-13. The game was fast and fairly good team work was exhibited. In the final game of the season, the girls defeated Columbia City 48-19. Inaccurate shooting on easy baskets spelled defeat for Columbia City. Kathryn Scott, Merle Williams, and Priscilla Long received sweaters this year. Wanita Rinehold, Mar- garet Huffman, Wilma Walter, and Mary Carper received these awards in previous years. Huffman, Rinehold, Scott, and Walter will graduate this spring. M. Williams, Shoudel, Long, and Duke are juniors left on the squad. The sophomore members are M. Carper, Davidson, and Coyle. These players with incoming freshmen will make up next year ' s squad. 68 GIRLS ' INDIVIDUAL RECORDS Number Personal Technical Total Name Position Games Points Fouls Fouls Fouls Huflfman F 9 33 12 1 13 Rinehold F 8 in 5 M.

Mason, Donjld Myers, Rodecip, P. Stackhouse, Essley, Sanders, Barnhart, R. Lochner, Mr. Coar This year ' s team made one of the best season ' s records ever made in Au- burn by winning twelve games and losing but two. The first team next year will be built largely from this material. By winning the first game 21 to 11 over Butler, the seconds started their season right. Auburn outsmarted An- gola in the next game by a score of 28-20. The first defeat of the season came when Goshen defeated them 33-23. Regaining confidence, the sec- onds crushed the K-ville Meteors 3 5-21. Next, the Red Devillettes nosed out LaGrange in an overtime 27-25. In the last game of the year a hard battle was won over Bluffton. The final score was 27-24. The next week the team journeyed to Central where the game ended 21-19 in Auburn ' s favor. Unluckily for Wabash, they met the team when they were playing top-notch ball and were thoroughly trounced 32-18. Auburn again met Angola, who was out for revenge, but the Hornets fell short of victory by two points, the score being Auburn 23, Angola 21. After making the long trip to Hart- ford City, Auburn was unable to pull out a win, the game ending 34-32. This was the second and last defeat of the season. In restitution, the next week, the seconds brought home a ten point victory over North Side. They met LaGrange in the last game of the season which they finished suc- cessfully, 26-16. 70 NOON LEAGUE AND INTERCLASS BASKETBALL Front roll ' ' : Shoudel, Cook, F. Ramsey, R. Craven, Brandon, Rodecap, K. Walter Second row: Mefford, A. Dawson, Price, R. Raub, W. Raub, C. Welch, Buttermore, Kruse Noon league and interclass basketball have attracted much attention this year. Many students habitually spent their noon hour in the gym supporting their favorite teams. This league provides an opportunity for every one in high school to play basketball and is a constant source of entert.iinment for the students. This year, a new system was in- augurated under which the interclass games were played on Monday and Tuesday and the regular noon league games on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. An intense rivalry characterized the competition for the interclass cham- pionship. The junior team finished in the lead, with the senior team second. The players on the junior team were: Welch, R. Raub, K. Walter, Shoudel, Price, Buttermore, Kruse, Ramsey, and Mefford. The team captained by Waldo Raub won the noon league competition. This team, which lost only one game, was composed of W. Raub, R. Raub, J. Brandon, Rodecap, R. Cook, A. Daw- son, and Craven. A tournament, which was played after the regular season, was won by Don Lash ' s team. The members of this team were Lash, Buttermore, Price, C. Workman, A. Sockrider, and Mc- Naughton. 71 I V ' NOVEMBER Glenn Wyatt crashed through as business manager for the basket- ball squad. The Spirit of Charity visited us and the boys ' and the girls ' Hi-Y Clubs gave their time and abilities to help the Legion drive by gathering old clothing. More laurels — the 193 2 Follies won the All- American rating for the 6th time in the last 7 years. The Red Devilettes chose Marge Huffman as their leader for future games. Twelve boys were initiated into the Future Farmers ' Association. Our first assembly program brought J. Franklin Caveny, noted sculptor and painter. His flying fingers and nible wit were rewarded with frequent laughter and applause. Politi cal speeches flew thick and fast as the Mclntoshers and Re- formers presented their platforms. Everyone challenged axioms after Dr. Oxnam ' s speech. This was the second and last assembly program. The seniors proudly admitted that they won the season basketball ticket drive. Now the battles began. Noon league opened with ten teams com- peting. Twenty-six husky men lined up in front of the assembly to receive their football letters. The boys ' and girls ' basketball teams won the first games with Ashley. The first and second teams won at Butler. It looked as though the prophecy might be fulfilled. Forty-two gained places on the envied roll of honor. The juniors lead again with thirteen. Work on the Follies began. Dwight and Snepp were named as editor and business manager. The Alumni and the first team battled for charity and reaped large profits. The boys ' team won at Angola, more glory. M-mmmm — the turkey was delicious! 71 DECEMBER Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh was presented bv the juniors and seniors. Very English, don ' t you know. The remainder of the FoUies staff was chosen by the senior class. More charity work was done by the sewing classes. Thev helped make garments for the Red Cross. The first and second teams were defeated at Goshen. Work a little harder, boys. By the gleam in the eyes of the girls ' basketball team we can guess they beat Garrett 3 7-2 3. The Red Devils walked over Mishawaka and the girls defeated St. Joe. Girls, still thy fluttering hearts! Six silver footballs were awarded to six deserving lads. May they find their ways on chains around the necks of six fair damsels. Kendallville ' s team was unable to play because of the ravages of flu. Mrs. West had her tonsils removed. Mary Brandon substituted for her to see that the girls kept in shape to sing their do-re-mis. Miss Kreft, Barbara Gordon, Gerry Mason, Marjorie Miner, Darrell Grosh and Charlie Rainier had their appendices removed. Is it catching? Juniors and seniors turned out in fine shape as sixty-four joined History Club. Waldo Raub was chosen president. First and second teams won at LaGrange. Letters to Santa were published and as usual nothing was asked for that was really wanted. The Devilettes lost to Huntertown but our noble masculine five won from South Side, Bluffton, and Kendallville A Christmas program was presented by the students. Walter Kruse and John Kelly successfully imitated A Pair of Lunatics. Oh! What a Santa Claus Bob Renner made! 73 JANUARY Back to school again, after forgetting nearly everything over the vacation. But the team had not forgotten their basketball. The first and second teams won thrilling games from Central High of Fort Wayne. Sadly we put on black and mourned for our dear late Chatterbox. On Friday the thirteenth, the depression crept up and Mr. Chatterbox received a disastrous blow on the financial nerve. Two prominent and well liked seniors, Lenore Williams and Waldo Raub, celebrated their birthdays the sixth of this month. Auburn fans had high hopes of winning the Blind Tourney, but the team was defeated by Blutfton. Having been successful in the past in most ventures, Alma Mater planned to enter the spring music contest. Wabash put us in the red 15-12. Auburn High payed tribute to W. H. Mcintosh who passed away on January 2 5, at the age of 95. Rejoicing was great. Our jinx disappeared and Auburn was vic- torious over Garrett. Three cheers for our team! Smile, seniors, smile. Curled hair and pretty dresses on the fairer sex and strong silent men in their best indicated that cameras were clicking. How the ices did glitter! It seemed that the gods picked out their most slippery ice and placed it on the school house steps. And snowballs! Could anyone but underclassmen find such de- light in sport that makes girls heave a sigh when snow appears? 74 FEBRUARY Auburn retained the keg by a tripled score. People from near and far poured into the gymnasium to hear a musical program presented by orchestra, glee club and double quartet. There are rumors of a county concert. Hartford City fell before the pitchforks, 3 6-22. The reign of frozen noses and ears began. Ask Glenn Wyatt. Two below was considered warm. Auburn defeated LaGrange 28-21. These boys of the hardwood cer- tainly had those quailties which are necessary to success. February 14! Tender missives were flitting hither and yon. Mr. Schooley found one describing his mentality mathematically and im- mediately blamed his advanced Algebra class. They looked shocked and innocent. Auburn defeated Columbia City in the last game of the season. Hopes were high and bets were placed on the Red Devils. On to State! Now and then one saw a junior with the most disgusted look pos- sible on a human face. ' Twas the sign that F. W. Weathers was at his pop quizzes again. In the future when tender memories are picked from the debris of the past and held aloft, the most frequent shall be of the delicate odors that cruised around on the third floor. Was there ever a more fitting time for a fire drill? Air like the wind that blows across an iceberg makes the prickles run up and down the spine. Hard-hearted teachers insisted that one must stand outside the doors, even though thev may have had a bad case of sniffles. 75 MARCH If the adjectives cold and windy pertain to a lion, then March came in as the proverbial, lion. The ferociousness of the weather symbolized the ferocity of the game with Garrett. Our boys fought gallantly but to no avail. Auburn dropped out of the tourney in their first game of the sectional. More pictures! Mr. Fribley ' s camera certainly served a good purpose. Clear distinct pictures were forthcoming but it is still hard to identify some coun- tenances twisted out of shape by too bright a sun and too broad a grin. The steady, measured thump-thump of feet about four-thirty on the third floor gave warning that track season was started and it wouldn ' t be long before more honors were gained. On the warmer days, that part of the school grounds facing Cedar Street became the scene of feats of skill exhibited by hopeful trackmen. Oh ' s and Ah ' s escaped the ladies as they secretly laughed at the awkwardness of unsuspecting males. Thirty yodeling females hied themselves to Gar- rett to participate in the long awaited spring concert. Oh! how it rained. In fact, March was characterized by rain. Joe Rainier practiced his speech before the as- sembly with much vim and vigor. The speech was good. 76 1 MARCH The annual staff worked night and day to get the precious Follies to press. It was not an uncommon sight to see Wes dashing madly back and forth be- tween Jones ' and Auburn High with a preoccupied glint in his eye. Another familiar sight in the life of an Auburn Hi-er was the sign frequently placed at the front of the assembly proclaiming to the world the fact that a dance would be held at Thimlar ' s. — 15c. Mr. Fribley laid down the law for once and all, saying that talking in the halls until the last minute, then rushing madly to class to step in just after the door closed must stop. Some people might refer to hob-nailed shoes as sensible but they do make a clatter. The only alter- native is to walk on the toes; which feat Tank per- forms to perfection. Has anyone missed the thrill of finding three or four encyclopedias piled in his desk? Ballyhoos have grown scarce in the life of A.H.S. The standard of culture is rising. Joe went confidently into the county discussion contest and came through with colors flving. The title of the debate was: Resolved: that at least one- half of all state and local revenues should be derived from sources other than tangible property. Joe dis- cussed the negative side of the question. 77 WINTER SNAPS Bob and Maxine, a pair often seen together in the past year about the corridors of school, or at some favorite student hang-out. The basketball team lines up before set- ting off for the Blind Tourney at Bluffton. Incidentally, they were off that day. Students pouring from the gym at the end of a noon league game go directly to classes. Who gets the tip? Noon league basket- ball is fast and full of thrills and laughs. Joe Rainier, Auburn ' s ace silver tongue. Joe won the county discussion contest and represented the school in the dis- trict meet. 78 WINTER SNAPS Mr. Van Showers, a loyal supporter of high school activities, preparing to lead the Auburn cavalcade to the sectional t ourna- ment at Garrett. Members of the basketball squad exam- ining and packing equipment before leaving for the Wabash game. The basketball business manager and two prominent members of the girls ' basketball team planning some mis- chievous escapade. I A group of A.H.S. basketball players and fans dine in style outside the Butler Field House between sessions of the state tourney. Are these two seniors coming to school, or just leaving? Three guesses. In either case they are hard workers; just look at the books. 79 THE BAD NEWS THE BAD N EWS 4 bi-ucckly publicafioii piibiishcii by pcsshuists selected from the senior class for their soured, uiirped views. Subscription Price $10.00 and up. Bargain. STAFF Just committed suicide because they were blue over stock mar- ket conditions. OUR PLATFORM Pessimism First. Last, and All the Time. To create and maintain a lively pessimistic spirit. To encourage better pessimism. To awaken more interest in pessimism. EDITORIAL We, the editors of this note- worthy publication, feel that we should firmly state our political beliefs on this all important ques- tion of the day. The Depression. We assert that we are staunch suporters of all present day con- ditions. For example, look at the Ful lies staff. Due to the dear ule depression, they cultivated their ingenuity and educated them- selves along business lines because of a restricted budget, their favorite phrase. They are very glad that they have been saved the worry of figuring out how to spend some great sum. Also the nickel-drink business has experienced a decided boom, as all pupils have taken to drink- ing cokes instead of squander- ing thin dimes on sodas. Another outstanding benefit of the depression is the saving of the wear and tear on eyesight, occa- sioned by one ' s having to get ac- customed to new clothes. It is very convenient to be able to identify people a block away by their familiar costumes. We again have the Depression to thank for the reduction of contests this year. Think how many hours of hard work that saved for the poor contestants! And now to mention the home life. In the good old days every- one spent at least three-fourths of his or her time at Jake ' s. Now this terrible wasting of precious moments has been drastically re- duced to only two-thirds. As a very irrelevant fact, it might be mentioned that one-twelfth more time is now required to get places than formerly, due to a short- age of automobiles. We are sure that no one has any arguments to offer against those stated above, and so we con- sider the matter dead and buried forever. May no one disturb Its peace. SOCIETY NOTES The weekly formal ball held at Thimlar ' s last night was attended by nearly the entire A.H.S. stu- dent body. Bill McClure ' s na- tionally known Red and Black Serenaders (otherwise the Lemon Duckers) played for the occasion. Bill Kreider and Don Mer- chanthouse were hosts at a dinner dance at Coscarelly ' s Night Club last night. Four pri )niinent Lus Angeles debutantes, the Misses Ruth Lige, Joan Hoff, Fielenjoan Shull, and Rhoda Lou Carper, recently vis- ited Auburn High School. These young ladies have revolutionary educational ideas, and are trying to reform local school practices. Mr. Philbert Berg and his ex- wife, Mrs. Wanlta Rinehold Berg, have returned from their unex- pected trip to Reno. Mr. Berg reports that Reno judges have not yet been told tha t there is a Depression and advises recon- ciliation to his friends. Mr. and Mrs. John E. Graham returned from their honeymoon today on the Buffalo Limited due at 3:10 p. m. Mr. Dick Fink and Mr. Bob Buchanan are giving a surprise party for the bride and groom this evening at the newly- weds ' duplex. Mr. Glenn Wyatt of this city is visiting Miss Genevieve Elson, also of this city. DISCUSSION RAGES IN ENGLISH CLASS As the Senior English class was pursuing its usual placid way through the classification of words, a sudden and heated dis- cussion arose over the case, num- ber, and gender of the word kiss. Tank Brown, always a pupil willing to display his knowledge, shouted, I know. It ' s always a neuter gender pronoun because ' she ' stands for ' it ' . For the sake of argument, Le- nore Williams stated, Since a kiss is masculine and femmme mixed, it Is common. Vivian Johnson remarked sim- ply that it was a conjunction since it connects. To this remark Art Runge added, It ' s an in- terjection. At least it sounds like one. Wanda said she was stumped on the standing of the word and would say only that It was plural because one called for another. As soon as Miss Reynolds had seated herself, Hod Thimlar re- plied in a soft whisper, It is singular because there is nothing else like it. I don ' t care, I know a kiss is a preposition because it governs an object, ' case ' , interposed Shorty when she could be heard above the general confusion. After order had once more been restored in the class-room, Phil Fraser volunteered that a kiss must be a verb since it can be conjugated but must never be declined. At this moment the bell rang, but Keith, contrary to all prec- edents, got in the last word. He said he knew a kiss wasn ' t an ad- jective because it couldn ' t be compared but that it was a phrase I expressing emotions. The pupils were so interested that they broke all former Au- burn High customs by remain- ing three minutes overtime, de- manding to express their opinions. Miss Dawson, almost overcome by the racket, shooed them forth to seek new methods of attack on the ouestion.

The game, played at the local field house, drew a capac- ity crowd of 11,111 people. The game was tuck and nip all the way with the two scores never being separated by more than fifty points. Coach Glenn Curtiss Brown ' s regular line-up consisting of Branch McCracken McNaughion at center. Pug Se- bring and Stretch Rainier at for- wards, and Speed Demon Nelson and the Terrible Turk, Max Shook, at guards started the game. Branch started the scoring by sinking a, nice pivot shot from the center circle. The ice was broken, so the players jumped in for a swim. The score mounted rapidly and at the half time stood 5 9 to 5 8 in favor of the 5 9. In the second half Stretch, fast forward, exhibited his speed by cutting for several nice bank shots off the light ball in the corner pocket. And then, with the score tied at 84. a calamity occurred. Co- Captain Branch and Co-ed Cap- tain Stretch tripped each other and each received a toe iniury. Coach Brown substituted SWw- foot Mefford and Bull Neck Moose Face Cress. Pandemonium reigned. The crowd was mad with enthusiasm. The Pumpkin Center Quartet was playing a minuet in G. The last quarter began with break -neck speed. Siew-foot dropped in four buckets, three for the Corn buskers and acci- dentally one for the Muckers ' . Finally with less than a minute to play, the Cornhuskers were leading 10 5 to 1 04. Slew-foot passed to Bull Neck, but the basket intercepted giving the Muckers a one point lead and victory. Scene in Auburn field House during the Muckers ' game with the Cornhuskers.

LONG BONGS PING PONG PILL TO WIN Mouse Moves Maiden to Ascend Flag Pole At the close of a sensational hair-raising, nail biting, nerve- racking tournament held at the exclusive club room of the Hong Kong Ping Pong Parlor, Peg Long emerged victorious from a field of formerly invincible op- ponents, vanquished by her skill and dexterity in wielding her trusty paddle. Her last unhappy victim was the far-renowned Waldo Raub who has participated in ping pong tournaments since his hair first became curly. He held .Miss Long on even terms until his morale gave way before her vivacious looks and rapid-fire returns. Miss Long gained the right to enter the finals by nosing out a victory over the worthy Mr. Carl Nagle who forgot and put his weight on his right foot as the deciding ball flashed across the net. Mr. Raub defeated Miss Pauline Gillespie, proponent of the famous double-bounce the- ory. In the finals. Miss Long was particularly distinguished by her sizzling aces and snappy come- backs. She will represent Aubrun in the township meet to be held in Altona sometime in the next three years. To make the affair more ex- clusive, an entrance fee was charged. The proceeds, amount- ing to slightly more than 3 8 cents, will be placed in a fund to supply candy bars to the under- nourished pupils of Auburn High.

Court Theatre Wednesday Morning 81 WINTER SUMMARY Winter brings its round of activities which draw students closer to the school; a fact which parallels the effect of the Depression in drawing people to their homes. One of the chief sources of friendly rivalry was the honor roll. This year ' s group was especially large because the scholastic standing was high and there were many ties. This year the interscholastic group has changed in several ways. The Depression caused the oration and essay contests to be dropped. Instead of the county music contests, a county chorus was organized. The mathematics and discussion contests have remained the same. The various organizations of the school reached their peak of ac- tivity during the winter. In order to relieve much of the suffering caused by hard times, they bought food and collected clothing for the needy families. To those whose hobby is music, many fields were open. While snow covered the ground, the glee club, orchestra, and band mastered their selections. They offered these selections to help entertain at winter functions. Winter also is the accepted time for dramatics. In spite of lack of heat and of sickness, the juniors and seniors presented a successful play. During this season, King Basketball reigned. Both the boys ' and girls ' varsities had excellent records. The second team also brought honor to the school. However, Auburn was eliminated in the sectional tournament, perhaps by the same jinx which caused the Depression. But a Depression cannot go on forever, and a rise is certain to come. After the snow and slush of Winter, the fair weather, out-door sports, and gala events of Spring are welcomed almost as much as a return of Good Times. 82 i, iij The Recovery Sv ' SPRING SPRING Fading away In the distance, Black De- pression clouds show their silver lining to an awakening world.

Rainier, Sherer, Lash, Rinehold EDITORIAL The Depression has done everything possible to prevent the pubhcation of the Folhes of 1933. Obstacles, varied and numerous, cast a gloom and an uncertainty of result over the staff, comparable, we are sure, to none experienced by previous Auburn yearbook organizations. Of necessity, our marching song is a funeral dirge. A restricted budget; a nation-wide bank moratorium in the midst of our advertising and our sales campaigns; the numerous problems presented by publishing a book basically different from any former Follies: all these problems we met in addition to the usual routine necessary to the pub- lication of a yearbook. Facing a slim budget, we had first to decide what type of an annual to produce. The primary consideration was that students must find the book interesting and provocative of school day memories. The cost could not be as great as that of former annuals, yet the content should be the equivalent if possible. A clear picture of true school life must appear in the book. The Black Annual is the result. We are convinced that it has been compiled in the most satisfactory manner pos- sible under the restrictions placed upon us. The content is as inclusive as that of any past Auburn yearbook and the style of presentation is entirely new. We do not know what the future holds for Follies pub- lications. There are indications that this Black Annual is an old man holding the hour-glass and scythe. The parting word of the Follies of 193 3 may be that of the recent Japanese spokesman in Geneva, And we are not coming back. It may be that our theme song is truly a death march. Mr. Jones, our photographer, the Fort Wayne Engrav- ing Company, the Malloy Cover company, and the Auburn Printing Company have cooperated with us in the pro- duction of the book. Their services and suggestions have been invaluable. Mr. Fribley has worked with us as super- visor. Without his knowledge of yearbook license, his ready wit, and his timely suggestions, this edition would indeed be a weak chapter in the annual history of the Auburn FFigh School. 87 • p ii i Troiinsi ' v W. Price Dai hi SI Lash TRACK Forty boys answered Coach Young ' s call for track ath- letes last spring. From this number the coach selected six- teen to represent Auburn in track and field events. Auburn opened the track season on April 3, with a dual meet against North Side of Fort Wayne. Our thinly clads made a good showing by winning the meet, 61-54. The following week the team entered a triangular meet at South Side in which South Side, Decatur, and Auburn were entrants. The Red Devils again scored 61 points to win the meet. South Side placed second with 5 3 points and Decatur third with 3. For the next meet. North Side invited Auburn to take part in the North Side relays. Auburn proved their super- iority to the other teams by winning the relays for the second consecutive year. The scores were as follows: Au- burn 45 7 10, South Side 36 1 3, North Side 36 1 4, Gar- rett 13 1 4, Fluntington 4 1 3 and Kendallville 3 1 4. The next week Auburn won easil) ' over the Kendallville thinlies, taking all except two first places. The following week, North Side entertained the con- ference track meet. For the fourth consecutive year, the Auburn thinlies won this event and received possession of the new trophy for the year. The various schools scored Short Ciirpcnter Metcalf i D. Willh Molifor McDdiikl Drcni {} as follows: Auburn 66 5, 6, North Side 5 5 1 3, South Side 53 5 6, Kendall ville 7 5 6 and Decatur 4. The sectional, held at South Side, was the last meet of the season. Auburn took first place, qualifying three men, Trovinger, Lash, and Williams for the state finals. Trovinger was entered in the pole vault and hundred- yard dash; Lash in the mile and half mile, and Williams in the high jump, high hurdles, and shot put. Auburn ' s three representatives secured seventh place in the finals with 12 3-4 po nts. To secure these points, Trovinger placed fourth in the dash and tied for third in the pole vault; Lash placed second in the mile; and Williams placed third in the high jump and third in the shot put. April 9, Coach Young took Lash, Price, Trovinger and Williams to Indianapolis to compete in the state indoor track meet. Lash set a new state indoor record for the mile by running it in 4:37:7 and he also took first place in the half mile. Trovinger tied for fourth place in the pole vault and Williams placed fourth in the shot put. This track year was one of the most succesful Auburn has ever had, as they won every scheduled meet and placed seventh in the state. At the close of the season. Carpenter, Davidson, Drerup, Dwight, Emme, Lash, McDaniel, Molitor, Met- calf, Price, Raub, Short, Thimlar, Trovinger, Williams, and ' vatt received letter awards. Dwight R.

For the first week a very distinguished paper sack reposed in solitude and dignity in the exact center of the case. Then, one morning it blossomed forth in all the glory of silver cups won by intelligent study and by excellence in athletics. Rehearsals began for the operetta, Ask the Professor. Now is the time for all good chorus girls to come to the aid of their colleagues. For the first time the girls gym classes were given a selection of spring sports. Track, baseball, and tennis were the choices. Senior girls were told to keep expenses down and juniors began to think about dates for the banquet in the near future. Three other track meets at Marion, Kendallville, and Kokomo were held in April. At Kendallville the freshmen were given a chance to show their stuff. The district mathematics contest was held at Fort Wayne. John Rieke and Paul Sender, geometry. Bob Buchanan and Bob Nelson, algebra, were Auburn Fligh ' s entrants. Rieke, Buchanan, and Nelson won their way to the state finals. 90 MAY Spring Fever! How the germ gets into one ' s system is hard to tell. There is no preventative. Jaunty jackets and flying locks went by in rattletrap cars. Girls and boys lingered on the campus ' til the clang of the bell told them that they were almost late. The operetta, Ask the Professor, was successfully pre- sented on the 4th and 5 th, before an appreciative audience. The merry month of May witnessed three track events of importance. On the eighth, the conference track meet at Fort Wayne; the thirteenth, the sectional meet at Garrett; and the twentieth the state finals at Indianapolis. Will you write in my annual? was to be heard in all parts of the building. Teachers tore their hair and raved in despair as scholars stole a minute to write just one more line. Already the seniors were gleefully holding the fact that they have one less week than the rest over the heads of the other classes. But if one looked closely, there would be a hint of sadness, for it ' s hard to leave the old school. On the afternoon of May 14, the Reverend H. F. Craven delivered the baccalaureate service to the senior class in the Methodist Church. Potawatomi Inn again welcomed the juniors and seniors with an open fire-place and delicious dinner. The commencement address was delivered by Dr. Robert Phillips of Purdue University on May 17. All classes picnicked at Circle Park, Hamilton Lake. Was that water cold? 91 ' . ih .
