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

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
