Auburn High School - Follies Yearbook (Auburn, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 130 of the 1934 volume:

n This is — The FOLLIES of 1934 The New Deal Annual of AUBURN HIGH SCHOOL Auburn, Indiana Published by The SENIOR CLASS VOLUME FIFTEEN FOLLIES MAJOR STAFF KENNETH WALTER Editor-in-Chief FAY THOMAS Associate Editor LEROY CLOSE Business Manager GORDON MEFFORD Advertising Manager ALBERT SOCKRIDER Sales Manager In the dear dead days before the NRA — before Repeal — before lots of things — Readin ' , ' Ritin, ' and ' Rithmtic were all there was to school, and pupils quit as soon as they turned sixteen. At least scores and hundreds of them did. But those drab days are past. School means something vivid now — and colorful. All the varied interests that com- bine to make this difference we gather under the heading SCHOOL LIFE SEPTEMBER Football Team before Garrett Game The portals of Auburn High, on Sep- tember 6, welcomed with open arms the incoming horde of vagabonds. These, loathe to leave their varied lackadaisical summer diversions, were now ready to submit to a lengthv hibernation under the iron hands of well meaning peda- gogues. The football season opened after a fortnight of strenuous scrimmages on the part of our heroes. Consequently, the enterprising Junior class strove to sell their candies and hamburgers at the lone stand on Williams ' field beginning with the ad- vent of the Columbia City game in which we were victorious only by a margin of 18 to 14. Bank Day Tomorrow was the little sign that was seen in the front of the As- sembly for the first time this year. The penny borrowing got into full swing on the Tuesday following. The same day, the Athletic Association, composed of all the loyal students who buy season tickets, held its annual election of officers. Bill Kreider was elected to the office of Presi- dent, with Merle Williams, as secretary, to keep the records of the meetings. Mr. Schooley, a prominent member of the faculty, took care of the money for the Atheltic Association as he has done in many of the previous years. Richard Raub was elected to the post of business manager of the grid squad. Our honorable principal introduced a new six hour class schedule to replace the eight forty-five minute periods through which the youngsters had previously wast- ed their time. As the year progressed this program proved highly satisfactory. All inter-curricular activities were re- newed with fresh vigor and the second week of school was heralded by the defeat of Decatur by our eleven to the tune of 19 to 14. Auburn won the following game with Hicksville by holding them to no score, while they piled up 37 points. Dave broke his shoulder in this game. Jack Sanders was drafted to pilot the Class of ' 34 on its tempestuous voyage through the remaining school year, and the three underclasses also selected capa-. ble leaders. Mrs. Baxter and her willing followers competently organized a Girls Athletic Association and began to punctuate the dull academic routine with hikes and pot- luck suppers. On the 29th of this eventful month, the Auburn football team, gracefully de- prived North Side of a triumph, playing at night on the beacon-lighted field of Fort Wayne — score, 20 to 12. Agriculture Field Trip OCTOBER Junior Stand at Williams ' Field While October ' s leaves were becoming gay vermilion and gold, the leaves of books in classrooms were turning to a slower tempo, and the biology addicts trouped to the woods for the required species. The Parent-Teachers Association ' s an- nual banquet offered hilarity in the form of clever stunts by each of the classes. Following this event, the three upper classes united to welcome the verdant Freshmen in an excursion to a night club, held in the gymnasium. The Juniors fur- nished the ice cream. Grade cards were handed out for the first time this year. There were 3 8 who rated the honor roll and of these 16 were Sophomores. All teachers deserted the school for a short convention which gave the much disappointed students a forced vacation. This was enjoyed very much by every- body, including the teachers, who during this vacation attended the annual teach- ers convention at Indianapolis. Agriculture Class Judging Live Stock The Juniors ' pocketbook demanded more sustenance — and hence the proverbial Carnival was staged with the Son of King Kong as one of the main added attrac- tions. There was also much candy and many delicious pies. The Juniors cleared around $50 on this carnival. A 24-hour holiday was declared to al- low suitable celebration of the annual free fall fair which graced the streets of our serene city, featuring a display of the stu- dents handiwork in the Auditorium of the Court House. Handsomely decorated ve- hicles and bedecked pets constituted a parade, in which all boys and girls were invited to take part, as a sideshow of the above mentioned street fair. At Portland, a nocturnal football con- test was staged, October 6, ending in the handsome score of Auburn 18; opponents zero. Walter played a stirring game at left halfback, replacing Dave Williams, who had been injured and unable to par- ticipate since the Hicksville match. ' Twas a great day when Auburn could rightfully boast of trampling on the jinx, which had hovered over us for such a long time, and then vanquish the Garrett squad. This Auburn did on the 21st of this month, 14 to 6. The heretofore unbeaten and untied eleven from Auburn , met the eleven from Central of Fort Wayne, and were made to bow to the enemy by a score of 1 3 to 0. This was the last game of the sea- son. Auburn had one of her most suc- cessful seasons this year, winning 6 of the 7 games played. Teaching the Students Good Citizenship NOVEMBER November ushered in days more brisk and breezy than we had hitherto exper- ienced. Maybe that was just a trick of Ol ' Man Weather ' s — not Mr. Weathers — to encourage a little scholarly activity. Zeke organized his hardwood squad, which gallantly defeated the Ashley squad by the score of 28-19 in the first game of the season. Ramsey was elected to the post of basketball business manager by the Athletic Association. The drive to sell season tickets was enthusiastically carried out with the Sophomores carrying off the laurels. The rest of the classes have to give them a program. The Civics classes patriotically formed two political parties, the Progressives, and the Twentieth Century, and proceeded to vie with each other in achieving the favor of the student body. Mr. Miller was doing his best to con- vince his eager disciples that Napoleon did fight at Waterloo — much to his future chagrin, and at about the same time, our Red Devils gracefully bowed to the on- slaught of the Butler quintet, the score being 19 to 9. This was Auburn ' s first home game of the season. Mr. Fribley talked turkey, and let ev- erybody out of their last class on Wednes- day for a Thanksgiving program. He also graciously let all the pupils out of school Thursday and Friday. On Friday, the Auburn squad had no reason to be thankful. LaGrange won a hard fought game 1 5 t o 14. The next game on the Red Devils sched- ule was one which everybody had been waiting for. Auburn went to Angola to battle with their quintet for possession of the coveted keg. The Auburn squad was mercilessly downed by them, 23 to 15. We said a fond farewell to the keg until a later date. This was the first time An- gola has had possession of the keg for the last 4 years. The next game on the schedule was supposed to be with Wakarusa, but due to their getting put out of the state as- sociation, South Side kindly consented to fill in, although they were still not through with football. This was a closely contested game which South Side won by one point. This was the first time that South Side has been able to win over an Auburn squad for the last ten years. Most of the students returned the fol- lowing Monday after Thanksgiving only because they had had three days to re- cuperate. The grind has started again. Coming from Noon League DECEMBER Listening to Radio Discussion The month of mistletoe and holly was joyously welcomed as a breathing space between Thanksgiving and Christmas. On December 1, Auburn defeated the Goshen team by the margin of 14 to 12. Two evangelists, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, from the Christian church entertained the whole school in an assembly program with music and a clever chalk drawing. Mrs. Thomas played an accordion and Mr. Thomas did the chalk drawing. Zeke proudly awarded members of his football squad with the dazzling silver footballs which, needless to say, were not retained for too long a time by their worthy receivers. We wonder where they went? Drums of Death, with all its harrow- ing episodes with blood curdling screams was successfully presented by a Junior and Senior cast on the 14th and the 15 th. A good crowd was in attendance. The Portland quintet humbly bowed to our boys ' onslaughts to the tune of 21 to 15, but the Kendallville team re- mained unsubdued. Auburn at this time lost another thriller to the South Side Archers. This was, by the way, a con- ference game. Gunga Din ' ' organized his followers into a History Club, whose members chose Albert Sockrider, president. To aid him they also chose Joe Lumm, vice president, and Charlotte Lochner secretary and treasurer. The first meeting of the club was celebrated by a gift exchange, con- sisting chiefly of furry monkeys and diminutive dollies all of which were turned over to charity after the meeting. We hope some child will enjoy them as much as the History Club did. Everyone rushed to the little gym at 3 o ' clock, to watch a Christmas program given by the student body. After this was over they all rushed home to enjoy a much longed for vacation which was to last until the second day of 1934. In this program, Ruth Lige was a winsome maid of the 80 ' s to say nothing of Johnny Morris who depicted an old Roman states- man, and Tommy Mason and Basil Mc- Dougall as the two Black Crows. The sophisticates, coming home from college, gleefully visited Almy and aided in bidding farewell to the end of our 193 3 school year. They said it seemed like old times to get back into the portals of the old school house. Our net heroes chalked up another vic- tory on the home floor. They defeated Bluff ton by a two point margin. Coming from Pi ' p Session Library JANUARY So this is what the New Year has brought us! Many expressive groans greeted the tolling of the bell at 8:3 a. m. on the second day of January. But good times must always have an ending so back to biology, typing, and French and other studies much to the sorrow of most of the student body. The Faculty made Kenney Walter the Editor-in-Chief of the Annual, with Leroy Close as the business manager. The basketball fans witnessed a thrill- ing game in which the heroes took Cen- tral 26 to 2 5. More cheers! For Gar- rett also went under the yoke to the tune of 19 to 8. Where was Garrett? The Five Furies next attempted to take Decatur and Wabash but they failed to do so. Preparation for work on the Follies was begun in earnest with the election of the other people on the Annual Staff. The other students who were placed on the major staff were Fay Thomas, Gordon Merford, and Albert Sockrider. The semester grade cards were passed out and fifty-one scholars qualified for the honor roll. The Sophomores again led the classes with 19, and with the Seniors run- ning a close second with 18. The Senior Group for the four years of high school was announced. Those who made this were Jean Buss, Alice Whitten, Leola Ford, and Ermel Weaver. The Home Economics girls sadly said adieu to Miss Kreft, their teacher, who was transferred to Technical of Indian- apolis. In her place the girls cordially welcomed Miss Swaim, who has done her best to make her classes the best in the school. We will say that she has cer- tainly done a good job of it too. Discussion enthusiasts were treated to a debate at Purdue University, and came home competently prepared to rave about radios and how our government should run them. Mr. Anderson, author of New Moon, wittily and educationally engaged our at- tentions with his descriptions of how to write a book. The Auburn team on playing in the Blind Tourney, seemed to be a little blind, at least during the first game. We lost the first game in the afternoon, but wo also won a 9 point victory over one of our most bitter rivals, Kendallville. Miss Dawson made us read all about Poe and Irving while other pedagogues ply us with harsh admonitions and man- dates. Freshinttn Math Class FEBRUARY Annual Staff at Work The month of red-paper hearts again rolled ' round and winter ' s hitherto docile behavior was rudely interrupted by frigid and northerly blasts coupled with fre- quent snow flurries. The mercury dropped below zero almost habitually. Mr. Ground Hog woke up and came out of his hole to see how this cold world would treat him. He saw some misty object on the ground, which must have terribly frightened him, for he scram- bled back into his hole until some further date. The seniors at this time began to crawl out of their respective holes, one by one, to visit Mr. Jones and his camera. How many times did that camera of his click this year? Angola jauntily proved that she should keep the keg — but only by three points. The next game was with the Hartford City Airdales. The results of this game were too humiliating to mention further except to say that Auburn lost. History Clubbers were dutifully bored by recitations and demonstrated incidents (such as a minuet) on and from the lives of Washington and Lincoln. Taking Pictures The Vergilians wept bitter tears over Dido ' s fate, but that did not faze Pop Weathers when it came to those unex- pected exams. On the home hardwood, the North Side Redskins came and took the game bv a one point margin. Noon league certainly aroused lots of fervor — and it was truly exciting to watch the Freshies defeat the upper class- men. There is really some good material scattered among these younger classes. LaGrange was the next out of town game which was taken by the foe by the score of 22 to 27. There have been whispers circulating through the corridors that Don Coar has dropped from the ranks of the bachelors. If this is true, the school in general wishes him lots of luck. Auburn did win from Beaver Dam. What a shot that was of Myers in the closing minutes of this game! Auburn was defeated by Columbia City in the last scheduled game of the season by the score of 3 1 to 17. The rest of the February basketball history is too gloomy to be here exposed. Columbia City won the sectional at Gar- rett thereby getting the honor of partic- ipating in the regional tourney. Another of the more interesting events of this month was the examinations that all students had to take for scarlet fever. This was done by the health officer, Dr. D. M. Hines. This, however, put an end to what might have been an epidemic. In Chemistry Class MARCH Oh, the rollicking, raucus month of March! High winds — low winds! They blew to Auburn, who was at this time a participator in the Sectional Basketball Tourney, one win and one loss. Though the season was officially over, the tornado of the tournaments went over the state, blowing regional honors, in the Auburn regional, to Beaver Dam, a 193 3 partici- pator in the state tournament. They were one of the few state tournament teams who played in 193 3 to again participate in the state tourney. The State Champion- ship trophy went to Logansport. A gay group from Auburn was borne on the gale to Indianapolis where they watched the State Tournament — the premier sports event of the Hoosier High Schools. This group included the ten members of the basketball team who had so courageously fought for Auburn. Except for the Noon League Tournament in Auburn, basket- ball was over for another year. The Girls ' Chorus and Glee Club united in a concert at the Methodist Church, where they sang a group of charming songs. Jean Buss played an organ solo. On the afternoon of Friday, the 23 rd, Jean Buss and Charlotte Lochner, togeth- er with several other aspirants for discus- sion honors, represented the school in a discussion contest in the little gym. Jean took first place, which entitled her to compete in the Regional Contest the last of April. Did one hear that patter of running feet in the upper halls? That was Zeke getting his material together for the com- ing track season. Things were not as bright for this sport as they were last year, but Zeke always manages to make something out of what he has. Members of the Follies Staff feverishly began submitting delayed copy to the chieftain. The annual tearing of hair — frantic labor — and nightmares of the of- ficials — was again in full sway. The Senior girls held two feline dis- cussion meetings to decide on light or dark, long or short frocks in which to Commence! Big Dave was elected to the humble job of business manager of the track squad. The last of April, Myers represented Au- burn at the State indoor track meet in the Butler field house. He was entered in the 60 yard dash and the shotput. He took first place in the shotput. This is the first year that Auburn has not had more men who were skilled enough to be entered in the state meet. This is also the second time that the school has sent Jess to Indian- apolis within two weeks. We point with pride at his prowess, but view with alarm his expensiveness! Al and Lue Waiting for 10 APRIL Noon League Baseball The month of April was introduced by a program given the Sophs to the other three classes. They had won the Season Ticket Drive way back in October. And this was their reward. After this, on the next Friday, the Contest Chorus went to Garrett to help entertain the audience of the County Spring Concert. The home representatives appropriately sang Sym- pathy. Preparations were started for the Op- eretta, The Ghost of Lollypop Bay. This work was supervised by Miss Mc- Kinney, the music instructor. The middle of the showery month brought Mr. Wilson ' s talk to the assem- bly. This was one of the few of the as- sembly programs given the students, at the expense of the school. His subject was Three Wheeling Through Africa — an account of his bicycle trip across Africa from the Congo to Abyssinia. Students quailed at blood-curdling tales of real live cannibals. Although we had Jess Putting the Shot several other assembly programs during the year, this was the only one which was scheduled at the first of the year. It was undoubtedly one of the best. Auburn placed second in a triangular track meet with North Side and Hunting- ton. Jess Myers, who put the shot for a new field record, was easily the best man on the field. He made 22 out of Auburn ' s 29 points. His new record in the shot is 49 feet and 7 inches. Don Coar at this time took four of his best pupils down to the mathematics con- test in Fort Wayne. These four were Jack Smith and Naomi Garman, for al- gebra; Lee Anderson and Robert Nelson, for Geometry. The Auburn track team next went to Goshen for a dual meet. The 26th and 27th presented the op- eretta. And did the ghosts pop? At any rate, the coeds in the play certainly helped in making the musicale a huge success. Mr. Fribley called for entries for the music contest, sponsored by Indiana Uni- versity and the private music teachers, which was held the latter part of the month. Besides the track meets mentioned above, the thinly clads also went to Cen- tral, Kokomo and Kendallville. Several of the best tracksters were sent to the Kokomo Relays. This meet is independ- ent of the regular scheduled meet with Kokomo. 11 MAY Parent Teachers Picnic May Day was welcomed with signs of joy and of regret. Nine more days of school for the Seniors, and only 14 more days more for the Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen. The Seniors wander around the corridors trying to decide whether to look glum or happy. The Conference, Sectional and State Track meets were held, and our thinly clads represented Auburn in each of these three meets. Miss McKinney, the instructor of music in the Auburn public schools, and Mr. Wilcox, band leader, cooperated in pre- senting the annual spring Festival of Music at the Alumni Gymnasium. The program consisted of songs by the girls ' chorus under the direction of Miss Mc- Kinney and selections by the band under the direction of Mr. Wilcox. May brought more and more serious cases of the terrible disease dreaded most by school teachers — Spring Fever! Many prominent students were smitten and, even several teachers suffered mild cases. Happy Day! The annuals were distrib- uted! Sign my annual, please? was the most popular and most used phrase these days. Contests were on to see which stu- dents could get the most signatures. The lower classmen sent envious glances towards the Seniors who proudly paraded out the doors a full week before the re- maining classes. I ' ll be glad when I ' m a Senior! The envy of the other classmen changed to wonder when the lucky Sen- iors revisited school in swarms! Sunday, May 13, Reverend Craven de- livered the Baccalaureate sermon at the Methodist Church. The Girls ' Chorus furnished the music. Everyone admired everybody else ' s clothes — especially the girls. Several of the girls wept silently into wisps of handkerchiefs. The Juniors entertained the Seniors at the Annual Junior-Senior banquet at Potawatomi on May 14. This is held on Lake James. There was the usual rush over cars, many good looking clothes and food. After the dinner, there was danc- ing and bridge. On May 16, President Earl Enyeart Harper of Evansville College delivered the Commencement address. Diplomas at last! All the girls looked lovely and all the boys handsome. And relief on the faces of parents. At last, on May 18, the annual high school picnic. All the high school each year goes to Circle Park to celebrate the last day of school. Thus is ended another chapter in the history of the school. Willie and Fat 12 JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET Early arrivals at Bauqitet One of the three occasions anticipated by every high school student for four years is the Junior Senior Banquet. May 14th was the day set for this year ' s ban- quet. Potawatomi Inn, at Lake James, again was the chosen location. The Juniors had charge of the entertain- ment. Cars were provided for everyone who wished to go. Though it is a long drive, the attrac- tion of the place more than compensates for the difficulty of reaching it. The picturesque Inn on the shore of the beau- tiful lake makes an appropriate back- ground for the multi-colored frocks of the Junior and Senior girls. The after-dinner speeches by Mr. McKenney, Superintendent of Schools, Lee Anderson, Junior class president, and Jack Sanders, Senior class president, were followed bv dancing and bridge. PICNIC The Auburn High School Picnic is connected with a certain day, a red-letter day in the diary of every high school stu- dent — the last day of school. This year the day fell on May 18. The picnic was held at the usual place, Circle Park on McKenney the Picnic Hamilton Lake. Everyone was asked to take at least enough food for himself, in case no other food was available. There was also the admonition: Don ' t every- body bring pickles and bananas! Mr. Fribley made a speech in the assem- bly, warning all to drive carefully and not to go swimming too soon after eating, and for all to stay on the one side of the lake. It did not take long to become hungry; the lake air and the odor of delicious food! Soon teachers and mothers were kept busy keeping hungry students away from the food. At last the welcome mess call was sounded. And then the excess had to be roller- skated off in the afternoon. 13 Hold that please! says Mr. Fribley, as he shoots the G. A. A. Put in a clean sheet of paper, please, we ' re going to have a speed test today. Therefore; flying fingers. Viewing the Flying Millers, trapeze per- formers. See Mr. McKenney over there in the door of the City Hall? Preparing for one of the main events of the year. The NRA parade. By the way, Auburn beat Portland today. Charlotte Lochner preparing for the District Dis- cussion Contest. 14 The Brain Trust. Wonder what these two bril liant young men are cooking up now.

Maybe she was too cold the day we took pictures. 15 The scene of the day ' s heaviest traffic jam at 1 :00 after the noon-league games is THE NORTH EAST ENTRANCE i«, ■BRK There are many activities going on in school all the time, which do much to keep the pupils inter- ested in their work. These take cognizance of the myriad personalities seeking expression. There is music for the student with that talent or inclination. The law-maker, the orator, the artist, the business man can find inspiration for his talent. Yet all these are secondary to the school life. Therefore the second section of this book is ACTIVITIES 17 ART DEPARTMENT Seventeen artistic students spent an hour every morning in the Art Room, Miss Sellers, who is a graduate from the John Herron Art Institute with a B. S. degree, was their talented teacher. The Art students helped the Junior- Senior Play and the Operetta by making posters for the advertising. They also helped with some of the costumes and the scenery. Some of their products were tooled The commercial group is composed of the best and most promising students in the three lines of commercial work — shorthand, bookkeeping and typing. This year, twenty-one students comprised the group. In the shorthand group were: Jean Buss, Kenneth Walter, Ermel Weaver, Fay Thomas, Pauline Keller, Marian leather bags, wall hangings, and block prints. They also made many studies of trees, animals, and birds. Outdoor sketch- ing was another part of the class work. Every year the Art Class enters some of its best work in the Free Fall Fair. This year ribbons were won by Robert Pulver, Clarence Dewitt, and Paul Wyatt. The class collection won fourth prize at the Indiana State Fair. Thomas, Mary Sprott, Robert Maxwell and Dorothy Duke. Jessie Saltsman, Carl Nagle, Florence Tallen, Ermel Weaver and Helen Schrader represented the bookkeeping group. The typing group was composed of Richard Brown, George Pulver, Jean Buss, Alice McClellan, Leola Ford, Mar- jorie Miner and Georgia Vachon. COMMERCIAL GROUP 18 PHYSICS CLASS Students who selected Physics as their science this year felt that they were among the most fortunate. Though this science has been considered one of the most difficult high school subjects, Mr. Schooley has the ability to make it an oasis in the desert. His keen wit cracks out far ahead of the class much of the time — but when one can catch up it is the bright spot of the day. The increasing popularity of this course is proved by the gain in enrollment. This year ' s class of 29 members is the largest in its history. Mr. Schooley ' s illustrations brought the light of physics even to the dimmest mind. Those seniors interested in literature this year were under the instruction of Miss Dawson. The first semester the class discussed the more important English writers and their works. Shakespeare ' s Macbeth seemed to prove itself the most interesting to the class. The second semester the class studied modern writers. In order to gain credit in this subject the A, B, and C students were required to have fifty points for out of school read- ing, and the other students were required to read a book a semester.

Rieke BOYS ' Hl-Y The Boys Hi-Y is sponsored by the Young Men ' s Christian Association and supervised by Harry Kreider. This or- ganization is one of the most important boy ' s club in the school. The local or- ganization received its charter in 1922, and adopted the creed: To create, main- tain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Chris- tian character. The club holds meetings every Tues- day night at the Y. M. C. A. Every other Tuesday night they have a pot-luck sup- per with some kind of an entertainment. The club, at regular intervals, initiates new members into the organization. There are no Freshmen eligible for the club, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors only be- ing allowed to take part in it. At present it has 5 3 members in it. Interesting talks were given by differ- ent people during the year. Some of the more interesting discussions were given by Charles Lash on Hypnotism and Mr. Schooley on Sleight-of-Hand. Mr. A. L. Johnson of the Auburn Auto- mobile Company gave an intensely inter- esting talk on his trip of last summer into the far North. Three hundred miles above the Arctic Circle by airplane gave him ample material with which to hold his audience spell-bound. He showed sev- eral reels of motion pictures which he had taken enroute. In the spring, the Ways and Means committee sponsored a play to make money to meet some of the organization ' s expenses. The actors in this play con- sisted solely of boys. Considerable time was spent by the committee to put this play on and without the co- operation of all, the play would have been impossible. The officers during the first semester were: Charles Welch, president; Joe Lumm, vice president; Bob Berg, treasur- er; Harold Stump, secretary; and Lee An- derson, program chairman. Those elect- ed for the second semester were: Emmett Anderson, president; Joe Lumm, vice president; John Morris, treasurer; Howard McKenney, secretary; and L. J. Renz, program chairman. These last mentioned officers will hold office until the election is held for next year. 21 First row; Lige, Thomas, Whitten, Buss, Miss McKinney, Elson, Mason, Keller McClellan Second row: Hersh, Krise, Timberlin, B. Swartz, R. Shoud:l, Wickersham, HofT, M. Craven, Basson Third row: K. Mcftord, F. Close, Sisson, M. Reed, Shull, Goodall, Fribley, N. Freeman CHORUS Each spring a concert is given at Gar- rett by twenty-five to thirty girls from each school in the county. This concert has taken the place of the annual county contest of previous years. On the evening of April 6 this contest was held in the Garrett gymnasium. The harmony expressed by the several groups, both instrumental and vocal, showed careful training of the participants. The Auburn High School girls ' chorus singing Sympathy gave a splendid ex- ample of the art of blending voices. The Auburn Octette also gave the selections Harmony and Lullaby. The final numbers of the program given by the massed chorus, composed of the chorus groups from the seven schools of the county were the outstanidng rendi- tions. They sang The Green Cathedral by Johnston, Glorious Forever by Rach- maninoff, By the Waters of Minneton- ka, and Allah ' s Holiday by Rudolf Friml. The groups practiced together but once, on Thursday afternoon. The manner in which these numbers were ren- dered speaks well for the musical train- ing of the pupils of the DeKalb County Schools. Each group was directed in its special numbers by the instructor for that group. The massed chorus was conducted by Gilbert Coble, supervisor of music in the Garrett Schools, and accompanied by Miss Clarice McKinney, supervisor of music in the Auburn Schools. The double quartette from Auburn, composed of Ruth Lige, Jean Buss, Marian Thomas, Genevieve Elson, Geraldine Ma- son, Pauline Keller, Alice McClellan, and Luella Tallen, chose Lullaby Moon as their selection. This production merited a greater sup- port than it received from the public. In this machine age the youth must be taught to use leisure hours in pursuits which will teach them the value of cooperation and which will bring pleasure to others as well as themselves if they are to be good useful citizens. There is no one depart- ment in our school which accomplishes this to a greater degree than music. 22 First row: Truitt, Holben, Balzar, Miss McKinney, K.

Admittance and membership to this club depends upon the ability of the entrant to pass certain rigorous tests in voice. The Club is divided into three divisions: sopranos, second sopranos, and altos. New songs to be purchased are se- lected bv the club. The rehearsals were held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from four to five o ' clock. Some of the compositions most favored by the girls are as follows: Sympathy from the light opera, The Firefly by Rudlof Friml, Tiny Seed, Allah ' s Holiday by Rudolf Friml, The Green Cathedral by Johnston, When a Maid Comes Knocking from the light opera, Glorious Forever by Rachmaninoff, and The Walrus and the Carpenter, a short humorous cantata. The words to this cantata were written by Lewis E. Carroll, the famous author of Alice In Wonder- land. Alice Whitten was the accompanist this year. Glee Club sang at the Commencement exercises and at the spring music festival in the Alumni Gymnasium. This year, the Glee Club is composed of thirty-five girls. Fourteen of the girls are Seniors; there are eight Juniors; nine are Sophomores; and four are Freshmen. From the group Miss McKinney picked the concert chorus consisting of thirty voices, and the double quartet. These girls sang at the several churches, at a Sunday School Convention, and at the Federation of Literary Clubs. The Double Quartet consisted of Jean Buss, Ruth Lige, Marian Thomas, Ger- aldine Mason, Genevieve Elson, Pauline Keller, Luella Tallen, and Alice Mc- Clellan. 2 3 First row: Dewitt, Dawson, Hornaday, D.

G. Hornaday. Officers of the organization are: President, Allyn Dawson; vice presi- dent, Joe Dewitt; secretary, William Mil- ler; and Treasurer, Donald Miller. The meetings are held on the first and third Wednesday nights of each month. Many activities were sponsored by the chapter this year. Allyn Dawson, accom- panied by Paul Souder, was sent to Lafay- ette to the State Convention, and live stock was judged. In this F. F. A., there are four degrees which can be obtained: First, the Green Hand, which is merely being initiated and attending regularly the meetings; second, the Future Farmer degree, which requires that the member conduct a meet- ing for ten minutes, learn the creed of the chapter, and earn and save twenty-five dollars. The third degree is Hoosier Farmer. This requires completion of two years of vocational training, earning and saving two hundred dollars, being able to lead a group discussion for forty minutes, and ranking in the upper fourth of the class in all school subjects. The fourth degree is American Farmer, the qualifications being similar to those of the Future Farmers, except that five hundred dollars must have been earned and saved, and definite plans made for farming. Upon graduation from school, mem- bers may be active for three years and then associate members for an indefinite period. The subjects studied by the Freshmen and Sophomores this year were Animal Husbandry and Soils; and those studied by the Seniors were Farm Management and Mechanics. Many prizes were won at the DeKalb County Fair, State Fair, and County Judging contests by members of the or- ganization. The F. F. A. is one of the most pop- ular organizations in High School. 24 First row: Ennis, Ringler, Kruse, Boren, Conner, Fee, Mr. Cosper Second row: Mark, Muhn, Ludwig, West, McNabb, Laurie, Nagle, Devenney Third row: Harper, Rittenhouse, L.

An unusually large number of freshmen are enrolled this year. Mr. Cosper, the instructor, makes this vo- cational subject very practical. The time spent under his supervision is very prof- itable. One is taught to use his hands as well as his head, thus acquiring knowl- edge that will be to his advantage all through life. Remarkable ability is shown in the wood shop by the students in making use- ful articles by machine and by hand. Good care of tools is an essential point as well as accuracy in making the articles. The course taught to the High School groups is much in advance of the seventh and eighth grade work. This course uses the large electrical machinery not includ- ed in seventh and eighth grade work. The plans are first drawn from blue prints and then worked out into the wood structure. A certain amount of work is required. After its completion other ar- ticles of special interest can be made. This extra work is charged to the person making it. Mr. Cosper takes a great interest in his boys, and does all he can to make the subject interesting. The seventh and eighth grades are also under his supervision. There are twenty-nine freshmen and soph- omores in the High School course. The hours in this subject were changed to meet the new six hour day introduced into the school. There are now two peri- ods instead of one. This is also partly due to the exceptioanlly big enrollment this year. The wood shop is found on the Harri- son School Grounds. Because of the great ability of Mr. Cosper as a carpenter, it is the repair shop for the whole school and half the town! 25 Ik firs roit.- Blickenstaff, C. Reeder, Miss Swaim, M.

Fifty-six girls are enrolled this year. It is an active and essential depart- ment. The work in this branch is varied. The different subjects include: General Home Economics, Food Study, Art in Relation to the Home, Clothing and Home Nursing. General Home Economics, a study for freshmen, is a preview of the entire Home Economics work. It deals with cooking, sewing, etiquette, and fam- ily relationships. Food Study takes up the buying, preparation, and serving of foods. Several practice meals are served during the semester. Art in Relation to the Home teaches to make home and clothing more beautiful and suitable. The study of Clothing concerns the se- lection of clothes, their construction, and repair. Home Nursing covers First Aid, care of the sick, child development and the study of hygenic conditions. The aim of the entire department is to in- struct the girls to live and dress properly. Miss Kreft was the instructor the first se- mester and Miss Swaim, the second. Forty girls joined the Home Economics Club, a social club, held monthly. The officers, this year, were Dorothy Duke, president; Erma Jean Baltz, vice president; Bernice Woolever, secretary-treasurer; and Mary Horn, news reporter. This or- ganization made childrens ' clothes for charity under the direction of the Red Cross. Two one-act plays were presented: Too Many Beaus and Never Too Many. The first was given at a tea for the Parent-Teachers Association. The club for social and practical reasons gave a dinner party. They bought, prepared, and served the food. The purpose of the club is to promote friendship, to teach the members to as- sume responsibility by acting on com- mittees and to increase interest in the Home Economics work. The calibre of instruction in our High School is known to be of the finest, inasmuch as Technical High School of Indianapolis, one of the largest and finest in the state, stole our instructor in the middle of the year! 26 First row: Lumm, R.

Mefford, Morris, Stackhouse HISTORY CLUB The History Club, under the supervis- ion of Mr. Weathers, is one of the most active organizations of the school. Those eligible are Juniors and Seniors taking United States History or Economics, and having an average grade of C or above. Those interested in the Club met at the beginning of the year and elected the fol- lowing officers: Albert Sockrider, presi- dent; Joe Lumm, vice president; Char- lotte Lochner, secretary-treasurer; Ger- aldine Mason, assistant secretary-treasurer; Marjorie Miner, pianist; Alice McClellan, assistant pianist; Ruth Lige, song leader; and Kenneth Walter, publicity manager. This year ' s club has an enrollment of sixty-two students. A committee picked from the whole group met with Mary Krise, who acted as chairman and appointed the following to act as chairmen at the future meetings: Emmett Anderson, Leroy Close, Rachel Shull, Marjorie Miner, Mary Timberlm, and Richard Raub. One of the goals toward which the club has worked, was to place a bookcase in Mr. Weather ' s room. This was to repay Mr. Weathers for his hard work and extra hours. The case was installed on April 2. The officers of the club also had a meet- ing in which they made it easier for the program committee by picking out a series of countries on which the programs were to be based. The club met every other Wednesday night at the Y. M. C. A. The programs of the year consisted of the dis- cussion of the Foreign countries, music, and refreshments, which everyone seemed to enjoy. The History Club was a place to go to have fun but it also had a serious side of it. The programs previously mentioned were based on historical facts, which is really what a History Club is organized for.

John Ainsworthy, a wealthy young col- lege Senior, comes to see his sister, June. He graduates and meets Emily Lee and Maryida O ' Neal, the sister of Red O ' Neil ' ;- John ' s roommate at college. Red has gone through college with the help of his mother, Mrs. O ' Neal, who is a laundress, and Maryida. Neither Maryida nor her mother want it known that Red is related to them, fearing it will hurt Red ' s stand- ing at college. John and June find this out and think Maryida should have her chance. John also wishes to prove that Prof. Breakeasy ' s theory of heredity is all bunk. June is in love with Red. Maryida refuses to accept charity. When John and June invent a kind aunt who sends worthy girls to school, Maryida eagerly accepts. With this aid and the help of Prof. Breakeasy, Maryida has a year at college. Maryida surprises everyone with her splendid work. She is crowned queen and everyone is waiting for the Commence- ment Ball when word comes that John ' s aunt cannot come. Maryida cannot go to the ball without a chaperon. She dis- covers that John ' s and June ' s aunt is a fictitious creature and that John and June really paid her way. She is furious. Miss Stone withdraws John ' s and June ' s invi- tation to the ball. Maryida leaves for home. Red and Mrs. O ' Neal are summoned by Tommy. Tommy goes after Maryida and brings her back. Professor Breakeasy is quite impressed with Mrs. O ' Neal. Red, who has found a fine job and won a prize for an invention pays Maryida ' s debts in full. Miss Stone forgives John and June and all ends happily. The following people took parts in this operetta: Jean Buss, Ruth Lige, Joe Rainier, Keith Williams, Martha Frank, Barbara Gordon, John Graham, Jack San- ders, Joan Hoff, Wanda Reynolds, Lydia Renz, Hilda Mae Sherer, Sally Sharpless, and Patch Hines. 28 Seated: Pauline Keller, Miss Bowles; Krise, Amelia; F.

Lochner, Miss Oakley; Rutner, Jules JUNIOR-SENIOR PLAY The Drums of Death, a mystery play written by Howard Reed, was presented December Sth and 6th in the high school auditorium. It was directed by Miss Du- guid. The story goes as follows: Mrs. Gillette, Amelia, her daughter, and Eugenia Bowles, are summoned by telegram to the death- bed of Mr. Bailey, Mrs. Gillette ' s brother. They arrive to find Sheldon Harley in charge. He advises them to return to town at once. Mrs. Gillette refuses. Paula Bailey, a granddaughter, arrives at mid- night, as was prophesied by Celeste, an octoon servant. A Dr. Cameron arrives soon afterwards. Thompson, a deadly enemy of Mr. Bail- ey ' s, is in the swamp which, with the sea, separates the Bailey place from the main- land. He is after a stone which is in Mr. Bailey ' s possession and for which a certain European government will pay a large sum of money. Mr. Bailey disappeared three days before and Jules, a trusted Haitian ne- gro servant, wore Mr. Bailey ' s regalia to keep the large band of negro servants from suspecting that their leader was gone. Mrs. Oakley, the housekeeper, walks in her sleep and leads Celeste, Jules, and Paula, whom Celeste has hypnotized, to the body of Mr. Bailey in the lagoon in the swamp. Celeste commands Paula, because she is a relative and will not be hurt, to remove the stone from Bailey ' s body and carry it to the house. Newton Cooper, the country sheriff, works on the case with little or no success. Sheldon Harley turns out to be Gregory Sheldon, a secret service agent and the fiance of Paula. He exposes Dr. Cameron, alias Thompson, who has been receiving signals from his men in the swamp by the beating of drums. All ends well, for Thompson is killed when he opens the cab- inet containing the stone. The following people took the parts of the characters in this play: Keller, Krise, Mefford, Sockrider, Whitten, Lochner, Sprott, Walters, Thomas, Rufner, Phillips, and Gumpp. 29 Seated: McClintock, Trovinger, Mavis, I.

Stebing BAND Under the excellent direction of Mr. Wilcox, the high school band has pro- gressed rapidly this year. All high school students who play instruments are eligible. At the present time, there are 2 3 members in this group. Mr. Wilcox, who also has charge of the Junior High Band, comes to the High School every Monday and Friday morning, and holds practice periods. This period extends from eight o clock until eight forty-five. Any member having an as- sembly during the morning can receive instructions at this time. The band takes a prominent part in school activities. One of their main features is playing for the basketball games. This livens the games, even dur- ing their slowest moments. The band also gave several clever assembly pro- grams, which were enjoyed by all the students. One of their most clever pro- grams was the one in which they por- trayed a little German Band. They could even hit the sour notes. Four of the members, including Helen Schrader, Geraldine Trovinger, Jesse Salts- man and Gordon Maxwell, will be lost by graduation this spring. These places will be filled by incoming freshmen, who, as we have heretofore stated, are also taught by Mr. Wilcox. The favorite numbers of the band are as follows: Saint Louis Blues, Sliding Some, Tom Thumb ' s Drum, a march; and an overture, LaPaloma. The band also took part in the annual spring concert, along with Miss McKin- ney ' s singers, in the Big Gym. The music at this concert was vesy much enjoyed. The Band looks forward to this concert every year. The personnel of the band is: first trumpets — Meredith VanZile, Charles Rainier, and Robert Craven; second trumpets — Helen Schrader, Georgena Geisinger, Walter Stebing, and Hobart Nagle; first clarinets — Dorothy McClin- tock and Dorothy Mavis; second clarinets — Geraldine Trovinger and Irene McClel- lan; trombones — Donald Goings, Howard Foust, Virgil McNabb, and Jesse Saltsman; baritone — Harold Palmer; saxophones — ■ Schuble Boggs, Robert Kreamelmeyer, and Gordon Maxwell; basses — Walter Hughes; snare drums — Maxine Scott and Max Shook; and the bass drummer was Darrell Grosh. 30 Seated: M.

Twelve students compose the orchestra. Six of the number are members of the Senior class; hence they will not return next year, and consequent- ly must be replaced. There are three freshmen and two sophomores, but only one Junior member in the orchestra. There are four people who play violins; two of the members play trumpets; two saxophones; three play trombones, one clarinet player; and one pianist. Any high school student who can play an in- strument that is suitable for an orchestra and can play it with some degree of ac- curacy and skill is eligible for membership. The periods for practice are held during the sixth period every Monday and Fri- day in Room 6 on the second floor of the high school building. The orchestra furnished appropriate and mysterious music for the Junior-Sen- ior plav, The Drums of Death, playing before and after the play, and between the acts. They played for the light op- eretta, The Ghost of Lollypop Bay, playing both light and mysterious music in accordance with the theme of the op- eretta. They also furnished the music for the Commencement exercises. Two of the selections which they dili- gently worked on and which were their favorites are: At the Opera and Teammates. The students who are members of the orchestra are as follows: Violins — Helen Bassen, Mae Elene Craven, Marjorie Min- er and Carl Nagle; trumpets — Robert Craven and Helen Schrader; clarinet— Geraldine Trovinger; saxophones — Schu- ble Boggs and Ray Thomas; trombones — Jesse Saltsman, Howard Foust, and Donald Goings; and piano — Jean Buss. 31 First row: Lige, M.

Anderson, Dawson, Souder, Nelson INTERSCHOLASTIC GROUP Interscholastic group membership is an honor most difficult to attain in High School. This group consists of all people who participate in contests between schools. Auburn sends her best pupils in certain departments to these contests. This year Auburn entered Jean Buss, Josephine Smith, Leola Ford, Burgess Barnhart, and Charlotte Lochner in a county discussion contest with Ashley. Jean Buss of Auburn took first and Char- lotte Lochner, also of Auburn, took sec- ond. This gave Jean the honor of com- peting in the district against other county winners. This latter contest was held in Auburn on April 12. The double quartette consists of Jean Buss and Ruth Lige, sopranos; Marian Thomas, Genevieve Elson, Geraldine Ma- son, and Pauline Keller as seconds; and Barbara Gordon, Luella Tallen, and Alice McClellan, altos. Jean Buss also entered the state contest sponsored by Indiana University for private teachers. Entered with her were Margaret Reed and Ruth Lige. Last year Jean, without the aid of her own accompanist, won first place in this contest in the state finals. Her selec- tion was Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes. Those pupils who were entered in the regional mathematics contest were Lee Anderson and Robert Nelson in the Ge- ometry contest, and Naomi Garman and Jack Smith in the algebra contest. Allyn Dawson and Paul Souder were both sent down to the State Fair for the good work they did in Agriculture. These people uphold the school ' s honor in other things besides sports. This is the only other group, besides athletics, which goes away from home to compete with other schools for honors. Auburn has always been well represented and she has a good record, competing with schools of many times her size. Others not pictured in this group are the art contestants. Each year, Auburn sends some of her art work to Indian- apolis to the State Fair. 32 First row: Ford, Buss, Weaver, Dawson, Peel, Garman, Fribley Second row. Krise, Whitten, P. Lochner, D. Carper, Shimer Third ton : R. Thomas, Nelson, J. Rieke, L. Anderson, Buchanan, Sockrider, J. Smith HONOR GROUP Ordinarily the honor group is composed of the four students from each class who have the highest yearly averages. This year, because of tied scores in the Senior and Freshman classes, the Honor Group was much larger than ever before. Many students work hard through the year so as to have the honor of being on the yearly honor group. Each six weeks an honor roll is posted, which consists of all those who received two or more A ' s. The group pictured here is composed of those having the highest grades for the year. In the Senior class Mary Krise was first, and Leola Ford, Ermel Weaver, Alice Whitten, Albert Sockrider, and Jean Buss tied for second, third, and fourth. In the Junior class, Alberta Peele was first, Ro- vine Dawson and John Rieke were tied for second, and Lee Anderson was fourth. The four highest in the Sophomore class were all tied and they were as follows: Robert Buchanan, Robert Nelson, Eleanor Fribley, and Naomi Garman. In the Freshman class Jack Smith was first, Ray- mond Thomas and Juanita Shimer tied for second and third, and Donna Carper and Phyllis Lochner tied for fourth. There is usually an average of approx- imately thirty-five students who place on the six weeks honor roll. This year, an exceptionally high number placed on each of the six weeks honor rolls but did not have quite enough A ' s to be in the an- nual group. 33 kit Top row: Burgess Barnhart, Alice Whicten, Dorothy Duke, Rachel Shull, John Brandon, Marjorie Miner, Robert Renner, Leola Ford, Robert Merchanthouse, Marceille Truitt Bottom row: Richard Raub, Mary Krise, Pauline Keller, Mary Timberlin, Emmett Anderson, Mae Elene Craven, Jack Sanders, Florence Tallen, Richard Brown, Barbara George EDITORIAL A New Deal Annual — a yearbook in reversed form — does not resemble its pro- totype of 1904. The Follies of 1934 is the thirtieth of its succession — but what a contrast to the one published thirty years ago by that boyless class. The style of annuals has radically changed since those days. Since a true annual must reflect the life of its school, it is only natural that the seething unrest of the business world should cast its re- flection upon the school, and its year book. The changes this year are due to the falling into the background of the depression, coupled with the NRA. The NRA has made rules seem sound which before seemed against all sense of good business. Our New Deal Annual is the result. We have entirely reversed the previous plan. However the content is as inclusive as that of any yearbook pre- viously published. Several new features have been introduced, and to a topsy-tur- vy, backward world which we all seem to be enjoying, we submit our annual re- versed. Nor is the content all that has been changed! The contents of a reduced budget also have been turned upside down. To meet this crisis a new engraver came upon the scene. The Associated Engravers of Fort Wayne cooperated to make our deflated dollars dance a brisker tune. Even our stand-by photographer, Mr. Jones, turned us inside out, and took all pictures out-of-doors instead of inside- walls. Our same printer, the Auburn Printing Company restrained himself, and did do the printing right side up, though we per- haps kept him standing on his head most of the time. Without his sympathetic help, we should have despaired of com- pleting our book. The faculty as a whole kept their thoughts to themselves when it came to cutting into their classes for time to take pictures. And thus we have a New Deal Annual — as well as a thirtieth anniversary an- nual to the book of 1904. 34 tkiA Kenneth Walter Leroy Close Gordon Mefford Albert Sockriier Fay Tboma MAJOR STAFF Kenneth Walter Editor-in-Chief Fay Thomas Associate Editor Leroy Close Business Manager Gordon Mefford Advertising Manager Albert Sockrider Sales Manager MINOR STAFF Burgess Barnhart Assistant Advertising Manager Mary Krise Assistant Sales Manager Rachel Shull Arf Eljjfors Robert Merchanthousej Jack Sanders | ___ Athletic Editors Marjorie Miner J Leola Ford Class Editor Pauline Keller Dramatics Editor Richard Brown 1 Richard Raub I ..Humor Editors Barbara George f Marceille Truitt I Mae Elene Craven . -Music Editor Mary Timberlin Organizations Editor Robert Renner Photography Editor Florence Tallen - School Life Editor Emmett Anderson ____Cdendar Editors Alice Whitten j John Brandon | .

This gridiron squad gave Auburn one of its best football records in the history of the school. They won six out of seven games with no ties. The Red Devils started the season by giving Columbia City a trimming, 18 to 12, on the home gridiron. The team next traveled to Decatur. The Yellow Jackets were strong, but not strong enough to hold the Auburn team from an 18 to 14 victory. The game was not so close nor so interesting as the score indicates, as the Red Devils would have scored again if they had had a few more minutes to go. The winning streak continued as the invading Hicks- ville, Ohio, boys entered our lot. The Red Devils dis- played football in their best form, sending the Buckeyes home with a 37 to defeat. Dave Williams broke his shoulder in this game. This was his last participation in any sport for Auburn High. The Auburn team annexed an important victory the following week by beating North Side of Fort Wayne under the powerful floodlights, 20 to 12. Auburn proved her superiority by ripping through the Redskins ' line for many substantial gains. Auburn also completed several important passes, which put them into scoring position. Richard Brown Walter Kruse Robert Rentier Frank Ramsey Burgess Barnhart I I 36 VI r Don Merchanthouse John Morris Wilbur Essley Robert Berg I Darnl Rodecap The Red Devils everlasting rivals, the Garrett Railroad- ers, came to Auburn with the expectations of a victory, but the powerful Auburn gridders sent them home with a 14 to 6 defeat. Garrett ' s lone score came as a result of a freak play. Auburn ' s only defeat came from Central of Fort Wayne in the last game of the season. The Tigers proved too much for the Red Devils, beating Auburn 13 to 0. Jess Myers, Auburn ' s star fullback, was not in condition to play in this game. Silver footballs were received this year by: Burgess Barhnart, Robert Lochner, Wilbur Essley, Robert Berg, David Rodecap, John Morris, Kenneth Walter, Gerald Roth, and Walter Kruse. Those in school who had previously received silver foot- balls are: Denzil Myers, Don Merchanthouse, Robert Mer- chanthouse, Frank Ramsey, William Kreider, and David Williams. George Pulver, Arthur Hines, Lawrence Chorpenning, John Morris, Don Merchanthouse, Robert Merchanthouse, Robert Berg, Kenneth Walter, William Kreider, David Williams, Burgess Barnhart, Frank Ramsey, Robert Lochner, Richard Brown, Gerald Roth, Walter Kruse, Preston Stackhouse, Denzil Myers, David Rodecap, Wilbur Essley, Robert Renner, and Business Manager Richard Raub received letters for services performed in football this year.

Basketball games were played on Monday and Tues- day between the class teams, and on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the noon league teams played. Many good games were presented this year. Much enthusiasm was aroused dur- ing the noon hours as the rivalry ran high. All boys who did not make the first or second squads were given a chance to play basketball at this time. Each boy in school could play if he wanted to do so. Ten noon league teams were chosen this year. As names for the teams, the cap- tains chose the names of various popular automobiles. The best team of the league proved to be the Dodges, captained by Ramsey. This team won eight out of their nine scheduled games to gain the championship. They lost one game to the DeSotos. Four teams, the Fords, Plymouths, DeSotos, and Packards tied for second place. The Dodge team consisted of Ramsey, captain; S. Williams, Poppele, Stallman, D. Harris, G. Pulver, Fee, Shook, and Custer. In an elimination tournament the DeSotos proved to be superior with the Plymouths as runners-up. The tournament winners, the DeSotos, had M. Myers, captain; Ferguson, Wine- brenner, Walter, McDougall, Fink, Crooks, L. McCorkle, and Riggs on their team. The interclass crown went to the Sen- iors. The class of ' 34 finished first for the second consecutive year. This pow- erful squad consisted of Walter, Shoudel, Welch, Price, Ramsey, Mefford, Kruse, and Buttermore. These boys, winning ten out of fourteen games had a percentage of .714. The Sophomores and the Freshmen were tied for second place, winning eight out of fourteen for a percentage of .571. The Juniors made the poorest showing, winning but two out of fourteen games for a percentage of .143. 38 Sitting: Stump, Stackhouse Standing: Reeder, Dewitt, Berg, Stafford, Williams, and Cripe D.

The seconds started the season by de- feating Ashley 15 to 14 in an overtime game. The following week the boys an- nexed an easy win from Butler, 24-9. The seconds on November 17 took Angola into camp, 17-16, in a thriller. On November 24, South Side broke Auburn ' s string of three straight vic- tories by the score of 21-15. To annex the fourth victory, the seconds defeated LaGrange 27-14, on November 29. Their second defeat came when Goshen scored 14-13 in an overtime game. The following week another overtime was played with Portland, only to lose, 22-19. The third consecutive upset came when Kendallville won over the seconds, 22-20, on December 1 5. The South Siders made good in defeat- ing the seconds for their second victory this season 2 5-23. Still in a slump, the seconds lost to Bluffton, 17-15. In a thrilling game, the seconds lost to Central by a lone point, 18-17. De- catur was next to beat the seconds by a 26-18 margin. Wabash was easily tri- umphant over the seconds, 20-9. After eight consecutive losses, the sec- onds pulled away from their slump to beat Garrett, 22-16, on January 26. Still playing superior ball, they again took An- gola, 19-17. North Side next fell into the hands of the seconds, 23-15, on Feb- ruary 9. The strong Hartford City second quin- tet fell before Auburn in a hard fought battle, 17-14. They annexed the season ' s second win over LaGrange, 20-16. The Rome City first were easily beaten, 26-22. In the season ' s fourth overtime, and their last game, they nosed out Columbia City 26-24, on February 23. The seconds had a successful season, winning eleven games and losing nine for a percentage of .5 50. Most of the boys on the second team will see action next year on the first five. There will be seven graduate from the first team. 39 GIRLS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Senior Class Basketball: Duke, Miner, Keller, Se- bert, Shoudel, Smith, Wea- ver, Long, E. Horn.

He was a fast cutting man and could hit consistently from far out on the floor. Bill holds second place in the season ' s scoring. Denzil Myers. Forward Jess was the hardest man on the team. He would gladly mix a little football in the game when there was a loose ball. He should prove valuable on next year ' s squad. m £8 ■i. Don Merchanthouse, Foruard Don is a handy man under-the-basket. He will be one of the few to hold up the school ' s honors next year. He is a steady player and a good ball-handler. Jack Sanders, Forward This was Jess ' s first year on the regular squad and when once in the game, he set a hot pace. He was de- pended upon for his baskets and was high-point man in several games. Burgess Barnhart, Guard Bud can play either forward or guard. He drives hard into the basket, making anyone in his way in danger. Bud is a dribbler of ability and has a good basket eye. 42 BASKETBALL BOYS Robert Lochncr, Center Bob showed his stuff in the sectional tourney. He can outjump almost any center. His under-the-basket work was of much value to the team. Gerald Roth, Guard Rothie, although small, had lots of speed and was an accurate shot at the basket. His left hand worked like a machine in sinking those one-handed shots. Richard Raub, Forward Dick, last year a noon-league star, proved himself capable of playing varsity basketball. He was steady and handled himself well on the floor. ■• ; %3 Don Myers, Forward Don, only a Sophomore, is a bright prospect for next year. He is an accurate basket-shooter. His height will come in handy to the team next year. Preston Stackhouse, Center Stack is one of the few players on the team that does not graduate this year. He is a good ball handler, and will hold a steady position on next year ' s squad. ,f : fm. ■, -■ ■• r 43 SUMMARY OF SEASON The Auburn Red Devils met the Ash- ley squad for the first game of the season on November 3. It was a fast, rugged game which Auburn won by a 28 to 19 score. On November 10, Auburn was met and defeated by Butler in the first home game, 19 to 9. Butler was represented by the best team it has ever had. The squad traveled north to meet the Angola Hornets, November 17. Auburn lost the much coveted keg for the first time in four years. The final score was 23 to 15. The game scheduled with Wakarusa for November 24, was canceled because they had been suspended from the Athletic Association. South Side of Fort Wayne filled in. Auburn was defeated by the score of 20-19. This was the first time Auburn had been defeated by South Side in ten years. The LaGrange Lions visited us on No- vember 29. At the end of the game, Auburn trailed by a score of 15-14. On December 1, Goshen came to Au- burn. After a hard fought game Auburn emerged victorious by a score of 14-12. On December 8, we contested with Portland on our own floor. Portland did not measure up to our expectations and was beaten 21 to 15. On December 15, in a fast game, Ken- dallville defeated Auburn on Kendall- ville ' s own floor, 26-21. The week following, the South Side Archers met Auburn in an exciting tilt. For the second time this season they scored a one-point victory, 1 5 to 14. Bluftton was our next opponent on the home floor December 29. The Bluff ton players encountered stiff opposition in the Red Devils who won this North Eastern Indiana Conference game 14-12. Central of Fort Wayne came into our territory January 5, only to be defeated. It was a closely contested game, with the ultimate score 26-2 5. January 12, the team traveled south to Decatur where they were defeated by a six-point margin. The Red Devils, handicapped by a small gym were un- able to score. The final score was 17 to 11. Following the Decatur game was the Blind Tourney, held in Kendallville. Those participating were Auburn, Ken- dallville, Decatur, and Bluffton. The BlufFton Tigers were victorious after de- feating Auburn in the afternoon and Decatur in the concluding game. Au- burn defeated Kendallville in the con- solation game. Wabash played the Red Devils Jan- uary 19. Accurate shooting by the Wa- 44 1933 AND 1934 bash squad spelled defeat for Auburn. The score was 22 to 17. Auburn proved her superiority to the Garrett Railroaders on the Railroaders ' own floor on January 26. It was a dila- tory game with the final score 19 to 8. The Angola Hornets came to Auburn February 2 to contest for the keg which they had earned a few months before. The score was 2 5 to 22, in their favor. The keg went back to Angola. Auburn was badly beaten at Hartford City by a score of 42 to 22. The Red Devils were unable to compete with the fast playing on the part of the Airdales. February 9, the North Side Redskins, last year state contestants, invaded Au- burn ' s court. Their accurate basket shooting proved fatal to the Red Devils. North Side won by a 23-22 score. Auburn next traveled to LaGrange. In spite of the Red Devils ' thirst to re- venge a one-point defeat inflicted by the Lions, they were again set back, 27 to 22. The highly touted Beaver Dam quin- tet met Auburn on February 17. Al- though Beaver Dam was expected to win, Auburn ' s superior ball playing sent them home on the short end of the score, 19-20. Auburn closed the regular season by meeting Columbia City on their stage basketball floor. The stage-fright was too much for the Red Devils, who were defeated by 31 to 17. Although not having as succesful a season as in the past, the men nevertheless did good work. They were always in the game. Each man played hard and to the best of his ability. Many of the games were lost by only one or two points. Basketball sweaters were received this year by: Jack Sanders, Robert Lochner, Richard Raub, Gerald Roth, Burgess Barnhart, and Preston Stackhouse. Sweat- ers were received in previous years by William Kreider, Denzil Myers, Don Merchanthouse, Robert Merchanthouse, and Willard Vachon. The Silver Loving Cup, awarded for the best foul shooting average, was given to Kreider with an average of 55.5%, with Sanders close behind with an average of 54. 5 f , ' . TOURNAMENTS In the tournament, Auburn did not go far. The Red Devils won their first game but lost the next to Butler. Columbia City won our Sectional Tourney. The next week Auburn was host to four re- gional participants. This was won by Beaver Dam. Logansport won the state tourney the week following. 45 Denzil Myers Klchard Kanb Burgess Bam hart trunk Ran TRACK Fifty-two track aspirants answered Zeke Young ' s call for material this year. After a week ' s preparation, this group developed into a very good team. Although Auburn had an invitational dual meet with North Side of Fort Wayne, with only one week of prac- tice to their credit, they showed up very well against the Redskins. The Auburn thinlies showed superiority in many events, although at the end of the meet, they trailed by a one point margin. The following week, the thinly clads took their spite out on the South Side Archers, beating them 59 l z to 5 5] 2- The Auburn team showed improvement, and made the future outlook good. Auburn had the next meet scheduled with Kendallville, but the Comets canceled this. As a substitute, Auburn was invited to Marion. The meet was close throughout, but Marion ended on the long end of the tally, 63 ' j to n l i. The annual Kokomo relays were held the next week. James Buttermorc Marvin Price Preston S ackbonse Dutid Williams 46 The state ' s strongest track squads were represented there. Auburn took seventh place in this meet. At the conference track meet held at North Side, there were only three teams of good showing: South Side, North Side, and Auburn. South Side took the meet with 5 1 ) % points. North Side was second with 46, and Auburn was close behind for third with 44. The other participants were hopelessly out of the running. The Sectional track meet was held at Garrett last year. The Auburn thinlies were able to capture second place with 27 points, beating out North Side with 25 ' :, but trailing South Side ' s 29 ' j. By placing first or second in any event. Auburn was able to send three boys to the state; Lash, Williams, and Myers. Lash qualified in the mile and half mile, Williams in the high and low hurdles, and the high jump, and Myers qualified in the shotput. Auburn gained ten points at the state for tenth place. Don Lash, the best long distance runner that Auburn High School has ever had, broke the state record in the mile run, running it in 4:23.7. He also won the half mile run in 2:02. Lash is now going to Indiana University for whom he runs in all the large track meets. In al- most all of these meets he has placed second or third. Big things are expected of Lash bv the University. Dale Lockuoott Dorscy Likens Walter Knisc Harry Brandon 47 COACH YOUNG Zeke has been Auburn ' s coach for the past ten years and is largely responsible for the teams ' successes. He turned out an excellent football team this year, which had six victories with but one defeat. Although Auburn ' s bas- ketball team did not do as well this year as in the past, they were taught never to give up and to have plenty of scrap. The basketball teams since Zeke has been coach here have won more than 70 ' , of their games. He, usually, turned out a good track team. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Athletic Association was carried on successfully for its twentieth consecu- tive year. Three business managers were again elected this year, as was done last year. A meeting of the Association was called at the first of the school year and elected William Kreider, President. Other officers chosen were Merle Williams, Secretary; Mr. Schooley, Treasurer; and Richard Raub, Football Manager. Frank Ramsey was chosen basketball manager at the beginning of that season, and D. Williams was made track manager. Merle Willian William Kreider Mr. R. S. Schooley 1 48 CAPTAIN MERCHANTHOUSE Bub was elected captain of the hardwood squad by the other members of the team. He is well liked and has proved his leadership in running the team. Bob was undoubtedly one of the brainiest players on the team and knew what to do at the right time. He played guard and filled this position well. He is a senior this year and has been a regular on the basketball team for the past three years. His position will be hard to rill. FOOTBALL CAPTAINS, FOOTBALL MANAGER YELL LEADER The Auburn football squad elected two football captains this year. Bill Kreider governed the backfield while Bob Lochner ruled the line. Kreider was quarterback and Lochner was a left tackle. They led their team to a very successful season, this year, losing but one game out of the seven played. Dick Raub was football business man- ager. He was always on the job and was always willing to help when needed. Leon Sebring held down the yell lead- er ' s position for the third consecutive year. It was Midge who put the pep into the team when pep was needed. Leon was often ably assisted bv Maxine Scott. Richard Ruuh Robert Lochiiv William Kreidei Leon Sebring i i ' fT 49 Noon League Basketball. The fellows who do not make the first or second team play here at noon.

The standard of Thrift is the lowest that it has been in years. Posters on Thrift were displayed in the assembly and on the bulletin board and several impromptu speeches were made in an effort to raise Thrift ' s status in the High School. The first period Sophomore history class taught by Mr. Miller has the highest banking average. Among the classes, the Seniors are first, the Juniors second, the Sophomores third, and the Freshmen, fourth. Twenty-five students acted as cash- iers in the various class-rooms, collecting the money and preparing it for the bank. Doing the Banking 56 Heretofore, the administration and classes have seemed to come first in the scheme of things. This time we relegate them to a more obscure position. Not that they aren ' t of vast importance — but we feel that they are the bony frame-work — the skeleton structure upon which depend the outer covering and vital organs, School Life and Activities. Hence, after going beyond those exteriors, we come to ADMINISTRATION AND CLASSES 57 Hugh Carper D. M. Link H. L. McKenney A. V. Hints SCHOOL BOARD The group that plans, and looks ahead for the school is the School Board. There are three members on the board who are appointed by the City Council for a term of three years. Each year one term expires so that there will be two experienced members on the board at all times. The executive officer, the su- perintendent of schools, is chosen by the board. This year, the members are D. M. Link, president; A. V. Hines, treasurer; and Hugh Carper, secretary, who are all com- paratively new in this capacity. This is Mr. Link ' s first year on the board, and the city and school consider themselves singularly fortunate in securing a man of his caliber. He took the place of H. L. Brown, who resigned after being a board member for many years. Mr. Carper has served four years, and Dr. Hines, three years. It is the duty of this group to make up the budget for the Auburn schools. In these times, that is a man-size job, but our board members seem equal to the occasion. They have, so far, out-classed the city of Chicago in the management of the school system, for our teachers have not missed a pay-day, and the schools have run the full time. During the present year, there have been several outstanding changes and variations in the curriculum. The six hour-classes replaced the former eight forty-five-minute school day, and this system has proved highly satisfactory. The board found it necessary to reduce the teaching strength by two, so conse- quently, Miss Armstrong taught Fresh- man English in addition to her Latin; Miss Dawson added a Sophomore English class to her studies; and Mr. Fribley in- structed students in academic Biology. At mid-year, Miss Kreft transferred from our Home Economic department to that in Technical of Indianapolis, and was ably replaced by Miss Swaim. Besides these alterations, the Department of Public Speaking was crossed off our list of inter- school activities, due to reduction of the teaching force. Under the guidance of the exceptional- ly capable School Board, the school, both students and faculty, wishes to express sincerest appreciation of these men of such civic pride that they give their time and abilities in this way. 5S First row: Armstrong, McKinney, Duguid, Dawson, Swaim, Wellbaum, Sellers, Baxter Second row: Cosper, Gumpp, Fribley, Schooley, Hornaday, Wilcox Third row.

The Freshman meeting is always super- vised by Mr. Fribley, the principal, and after the President has been selected, he ■takes charge of the procedure. This year the Freshmen elected as their officers: Franklin Gingrich, President; Arietta Scott, Vice President; Finley Cus- ter, Secretary; Dorris Waggoner, Treas- urer; and Miss Gladys Duguid, Faculty Advisor. The Sophomores chose Tom Mason, President; Gilbert Shull, Vice President; Joan Hoff, Secretary; and Sam Williams, Treasurer. Mr. Lloyd Miller became their advisor. The Juniors selected as their leaders for their first year as upper classmen, the fol- lowing: Lee Anderson, President; Mary Carper, Vice President; Charlotte Loch- ner, Secretary; and Harold Stump, Treas- urer, with Mr. Frank Weathers for their advisor. Under the supervision of Robert Mer- chanthouse, the 1932-33 President, the Seniors chose Jack Sanders as their leader for the on-coming year. To aid him was Kenneth Walter, Vice President; Alice Whitten, Secretary; Mary Krise, Treas- urer; and Don Coar, Class Advisor. This student-executive group carried off flying colors in administering their duties. Their able guidance made a suc- cess of the drive to sell season basketball tickets in November; later they contrib- uted to a highlv entertaining program just before the Christmas Holidays. They chose an outstanding Assembly speaker, Mr. Wilson, who revealed some of his hair-raising exploits in bicycling across the African continent. On April 13th, the officers combined forces and presented a very amusing program in honor of the Sophomore Class, who won the above- mentioned Ticket Contest. And last but not least, the Juniors drafted committees, lead by the respective officers, and royally b-nqueted the graduating class at Pota- watomi Inn, on May 14th. 81 HISTORY OF THE CLASSES In the fall of 193 0, a group of unusual- ly outstanding freshmen entered Mcin- tosh High. To lead them through their first year they chose Albert Sockrider, Marjorie Miner, Barbara George, and Ger- ald Roth, who were in turn aided by Miss Kreft acting as sponsor.

Robert Buchanan and Robert Nelson won in the Fort Wayne district algebra contest, and placed in the state finals at Bloomington.

A mother who was on the lookout for a good name for her child, saw on the door of a building the word Nosmo. It attracted her, and she decided that she would adopt it. Some time later, passing the same building, she saw the name King on another door. She thought the two would sound well together, and so the boy was bap- tized Nosmo King Smith. On her way home from the church where the baptism had taken place, she passed the bu ' lding again. The two doors on which she had seen the names were now closed together, and what she read was not Nosmo King, but No Smoking.
