These Freshmen have been quite out- standing. Elizabeth Brown was a member of the Double Quartette, Martha Close was en- tered in the District Algebra Contest at Fort Wayne, the Freshman basketball team created quite a stir at Noon League games, many Freshmen were members of Glee Club and the two choruses and several were in the operetta. Those Freshmen on the Honor Group were: June Kuhlman, Martha Close, Wil- lis Engle, Pierre Talbert, and Mary Ellen Hines. Their class officers were: Pierre Tal- bert, Rex Renz, Betty Mavis, and Elizabeth Brown. Mr. Gumpp was their sponsor. The Freshman play presented at Christinas 29 SUMMARY OF ADMINISTRATION School opened last September with 370 students, and about twenty more came in during the year. The Fresh- man class was the largest with one hun- dred fourteen members and the seniors the smallest with sixty-three. One new teacher, Miss Haynes, was added last fall, to take the place of Mrs. Baxter in the physical education depart- ment. Boys Chorus was added to the program of classes and the leadership of the Orchestra was transferred to Mr. Wilcox so as to make time available to Miss McKinney to train the boy singers. Due to the increased number of stu- dents taking bookkeeping, it was nec- essary to organi-e two classes. These were both taught by Mr. Gumpp. Senior English decreased to one class. The advanced Latin class studied Cicero this year and will take Vergil next. The book class in Health, organized for those students physically unable to take active gymnasium work, was reduced to but three or four girls this year. The hour period of directed study, in- stalled last year, was continued this year. This method replaced the conventional forty minute recitation. No general re- vision of textbooks took place. No public speaking class, no newspa- per, and less attention to declamation and music in contests continued this year, as set a couple of years ago when the teaching staff was reduced.

The Freshman class enrollment of 114 exceeded that of any previous year, while the Senior class was one of the smallest. A fortnight before the opening game with Decatur, Zeke began whipping up a football squad. Fortunately, sev- eral members from last year ' s eleven were retained, so a series of victories was expected. Two weeks after the opening of school, Miss Leota Haynes was named the Girl ' s Physical Education teacher for the Auburn Schools. She hailed from Indianapolis and as a result of her Under the supervision of Mr. Coar Noon League Baseball was organ- ised for those who wished to par- ticipate. training and wide experience new gym- nastic methods were introduced. The Athletic Association elected Bud Phillips as Business Manager of the football squad for the coming season. Along with the second week of school came the class elections. The Seniors chose Lee Anderson, president; Mahlon Rieke, vice president; Doris Coyle, sec- retary; and Georgia Vachon, treasurer. Mr. Weathers acted as class sponsor. The three underclasses also selected ca- pable leaders. Bob Buchanan headed the Junior officers, Lavern Beckberger the Sophomores, and Pierre Talbert the Freshman. Once again the students put their heads together, and decided that Harold Stump, Mary Carper, and Mr. Schooley should guide the Athletics Association. The Animal P. T. A. meeting in which the teachers ami parents get acquainted 32 One of the main events of the fall festival — the pushmobile rare OCTOBER Although warm, ha y days were discouraging to study, October found the students gradually adjusting themselves to their new classes and studies. The basketball schedule for the 1934- 35 games was announced with a total of 18 games, 10 of which were home games. A two day ' s vacation was awarded to the weary students while the teachers attended the North Eastern Indiana As- sociation. The first social event of the year was held when the Freshmen were cordially welcomed into the student body by the annual reception. The gymnasium was appropriately decorated in red and white, the Freshman colors. The Seniors presented a fine program and the Juniors completed the eve- ning ' s entertainment by serving re- freshments. Our musical gals trooped to Garrett where they participated in the DeKalb County Girl ' s Chorus. The gala event of the year! The Au- burn Red Devils scored 14 points against the Garrett Railroaders, who were held scoreless. The first period honor roll, contain- ing 41 names, was published. Howard McKenney and Darrell Grosh, as representatives of the Auburn High School, attended the Indiana High School Press Convention at Franklin where they received the award All In- diana for the 1934 Follies, the second highest rating possible. The Junior Carnival attracted a large crowd to celebrate Hallowe ' en in the little gymnasium. The financial suc- cess of the event was proved by a $60 profit. Mr. Hornaday ' s Vocational Agricul- tural Classes climaxed the awards and victories of October by winning several prices at the muck crops exhibit. Two of the Senior floats in the fall festival parade Voting at the school polls on November 1 1 NOVEMBER November saw the beginning of an- other of the extra curricular activities when the Annual Staff election was held. Auburn ' s 1934 football squad did its last bit by adding Paulding, Ohio, to its list of victories by a score of 19-7. Armistice Day was observed in a very interesting manner this year. First hand war experiences were related, after the singing of some lively World War songs. Mr. Walfred Lindstrom, Dis- trict Commander of the American Le- gion, delivered the main address. Our own Mr. Schooley, of the Rainbow Di- vision of the United States Army, lived over with us the first Armistice Day at the Front. Norma Updike read In Flanders Fields and the program closed with the singing of two more songs. The drive to sell season basketball tickets was enthusiastically carried on. After a week of friendly rivalry the Juniors were pronounced winner by a very small margin with the Seniors run- ning a close second. After staging a series of tryouts, Miss Duguid announced the cast for Laugh Clown, the Junior and Senior play to be presented the sixth and sev- enth of December. Zeke proudly bestowed letter awards to twenty-two husky football fellows and their business manager. It was rumored, at the time, that the family pet rabbit destroyed Mr. Weath- ers ' ;eal for the usual Thanksgiving hunt, but the remainder of the faculty and the school body enjoyed the short Thanksgiving vacation. Winter scenes of the old High School or present Junior High and wood shop ■p r- - - 34 The Riley and DeSoto buildings in mid -winter DECEMBER Those wintry winds that blow, char- acterized December with all the merry skating parties, and of course, basket ' ball. Father ' s Night was most success- fully observed by the High School P. T. A. A large crowd attended the Junior- Senior play. Laugh Clown proved to be a comedy with numerous elements of humor and mystery. The unusually large cast of fourteen characters was composed of Frances Close, Barbara Gordon, Ruth Lige, Lauren Walter, Dick Fink, Johnny Morris, Joan Hoff, Rovine Dawson, Gilbert Shull, Norma Updike, Charlotte Lochner, Basil McDougall, Robert Gumpp, and Ransom Phillips. The gate receipts exceeded those of the previous year by thirty dollars. ' Twas rumored that Zeke was well pleased with that birthday present — but weren ' t we all — for that South Bend five was a mighty foe. The Red Devils lost to K ' ville with a score of 2S-19. Mr. Fnbley was named as a member of the State Control Board of Athletics. Christmas was observed in school Friday afternoon at 3 o ' clock. After several songs and a talk by Mr. Frihley the Freshmen presented a play, The Christmas Roses. The Boys ' Chorus then favored with several novel musical numbers. To the tune of many Merry Christmasses the students gladly marched homeward to spend two de- lightful weeks of a long needed vaca- tion. It must have been too much turkey for the team was defeated by Marion, South Side, and Bluffton, during the two weeks vacation. The Library and the new Harrison building 35 Snow scenes at the High School JANUARY What a vacation — only to be ended by the tolling of the old schoo l hell once again. The chief school activity, which occurred during this holiday sea- son, was the basketball game with Cen- tral High School. Unfortunately, the score was 42-21 in Central ' s favor. More entertainment! Smiling Bob Briggs, by his clever Negro impersona- tions, helped many down-hearted souls to forget their troubles (and the 2 5 to 19 defeat which Decatur handed Au- burn). The team made up for this de- feat by winning over New Haven 27 to 24 in a thrilling game. The second meeting of the History Club was held at the Y. M. C. A. with a large attendance and plenty of eats. The first semester ended the 18th of this month and on the 23rd many woe- ful expressions were seen when the grade cards ' were distributed. Qualifying honor roll members were then announced. Auburn had one great event to look forward to. The city was chosen as the place in which the regional basket- ball tourney would be held. Second semester officers were chosen for the Boys Hi-Y organization. Har- old Stump was elected president; Tom Mason, Vice President; George Kings- bury, Secretary; and Basil McDougall, Treasurer, to succeed Joe Lumm, Jay Renz, Basil McDougall, and Howard McKenney, the out-going officers. The most exciting event of the year was witnessed by the largest crowd of the season when Auburn defeated Gar- rett, their old rivals, by a score of 31-25. One way to waste time before school in the winter 36 Looking north out of the chemistry laboratory uin- dons in winter FEBRUARY The Auburn Basketball team jour- neyed to Angola only to meet defeat.

The second team won 29 to 17. At the regular meeting of the History Club a very interesting program was presented in which the influence of newspapers and movies were discussed by Alberta Peele. The Mcintosh P. T. A. observed Founders Day in connection with their usual monthly meeting. The Red Devils submitted to defeat by the Red Skins of North Side, 29-15.

Those who took part were Charlotte Lochner, Norma Updike, Sally Thomas, Naomi Garman, and Roger Close. To tour Europe on a bicycle or cut their way through the jungles of South America was a question many adven- turers were deciding after hearing the South American Speech. Basketball Boys and other Auburn fans went to Indianapolis to witness the State Finals. Anderson won. The Business Manager for Spring Athletic Activities was elected! A dif- ferent face was now seen in front of the assembly on Monday mornings. Members of the English Classes went to Fort Wayne to see Shakespearean plays at the Shrine Auditorium.

The program started with the lively Chicago Tribune March by Phambres followed by Poet and Peasant Overture, Light Cavalry, Side by Side by the Sea-Side, His Honor and many more splendid pro- ductions. Annuals were distributed to the wait- ing students. This meant joy to the students but dismay to the teachers who were still trying to continue classes in spite of the competition.

Happi- ness mingled with sorrow with the re- alization that high school life was al- most over.

What splendid looking athletes we have when we see them all at once! On May 22nd, Judge Fred G. Bale of Ohio, delivered the Commencement Address. The goal of four years was attained — diplomas! Of course the girls looked charming and the boys hand- some. Another chapter in the history of the school ended when the High School journeyed to Circle Park on May 24 for the annual last day picnic.

In making the FOLLIES of 1935 we have endeavored to contrast the schools of then and now. In the good old days of the three R ' s — Readin ' , ' Ritin ' , and ' Rithmetic — the school life was dull and uneventful. Now in mod- ern schools there is a varied scale of activities. We have gone, back to the full sise book in making this annual, returned other old features, and have added sev- eral new. The contents have been re- turned to what we think is their rightful order and to a progressing world we give our yearbook in memory of the old times. The sue and content of this annual is not all that has been changed. The Crescent Engraving Company came to our aid in publishing this book, enab- ling us to use our hard earned money with greater economy. Mr. Jones, our old standby, aided us again this year by doing better than ever in all his work. The Auburn Printing Company furnished us good ideas and good printing. Mr. Fribley deserves much credit in teaching the staff the whys and where- fores of publishing a yearbook and thereby shortened the long hours. The faculty have kept their thoughts to themselves when it came to breaking into classes to take pictures. So we have the FOLLIES of 1935 commemorating the three-hundredth anniversary of the founding of schools for secondary education in the United States. — Howard McKenney 43 Bottom row- -Updike, Fribley, Hoff, Elson, Shimer, A.

Goings ORCHESTRA Under the direction and supervision of Mr. Wilcox, the orchestra has had a very successful year. Mr. Wilcox has made it a very much larger organization than it has been in pre- vious years. There are twenty-five members in all. Any high school student who can play an instrument suitable for an orchestra and can play it with some degree of ac- curacy and skill is eligible for mem- bership. The periods of practice are on Mon- day and Friday the last period in the day. The orchestra has played for many school occasions such as the Junior- Senior play and the High School oper- etta. It has also played at the theater and at social functions. Favorite selections played quite fre- quently are: Poet and Peasant, an overture by Suppe; Cavalry, over- ture by Suppe; Chicago Tribune March, by Paris Chambers. Mr. Wilcox has a novelty arrange- ment in the orchestra this year. There are also two piano players — Alice Mc- Clellan and Ruth Shaffer. Mr. Wilcox has planned to continue practice through the summer months so that the orchestra might play at social functions during vacation as well as during the school year.

During those years he has diligently worked with the pupils of hoth the high school and grades until he now has a band of thirty capable students. The band has a very prominent part in school activities. One of their most appreciated features is playing for the basketball games. With help from Mr. Wilcox and his band and the aid of Max Shook we have been introduced to many new yells. Outside of school functions, this or- ganization has played at many clubs such as the Lions Club, Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce and others. The Spring Concert, which is the main event of the year, is made up most ' ly of band selections. Mr. Wilcox is diligently working toward that occasion. Some of the favored selections of the band are: The Poet and Peasant, an oveture by Suppei Chicago Tribune March by Paris Chambers; Cavalry, an overture by Suppe. From the band Mr. Wilcox has ar- ranged several instrumental novelty ar- rangements such as the drum and bu- gles, string quartet, brass quartet, and the saxophone quartet. This organisation continues practice through the summer months. Many out-of-door concerts have been given here in Auburn. Mr. Wilcox and his band have also been in Garrett, Ashley, Hudson, and other places giving con- certs.

The part of the group is made up of freshmen. However there are some Sophomores, enough to make a total of about thirty girls in the organiza- tion. The group made several public ap- pearances, such as the annual Parent- Teachers Association banquet in the gymnasium, the commencement exer- cises, and the one big event of the year — the county concert. This year the concert was held at Spencerville on April the 10th. The members of the chorus sang several selections and the double quartet, con- sisting of Ruth Lige, Marguarete Reed, Geraldine Mason, Genevieve Elson, Lucy Goodall, Alice McClellan, Luella Tallen, and Elisabeth Brown sang The World is Waiting for the Sunrise. The harmony rendered by the several groups, showed careful training of the participants. A few of the favored selections are as follows: Sympathy, By the Bend of the River, Italian Street Song, Slumber Boat, Lift up Your Heads Oh Ye Gates, Grant Me to Courage Oh Lord, Silver Moonlight, Bonnie Heather, and My Old Kentucky Home.

The Boys ' Chorus has twenty-eight members, most of whom are Freshmen. This will enable Miss McKinney to make the boys ' chorus one of the big- gest and best musical organizations in the school. The periods of practice are on Wednesday and Friday from one until two o ' clock. Some of the compositions most fa- vored by the boys are as follows: Chloe, Bells of St. Marys, Sunny Lou, Lilac Tree, Ole King Cole, Breezin Along With The Breeze, and Shine on Harvest Moon. The boys have done some excellent work this year and have had many chances to sing at outside functions as well as school entertainments. Some of their appearances were at the Rotary Club, Commercial Club Ban- quet, The P. T. A. Banquet and the Auburn Music Club ' s monthly en- tertainment. Jack Smith acts as pianist and has played at several of their public ap- pearances. There is no one department in the high school that has accomplished as much work in a year of musical train- ing as the boys ' chorus.

Admittance and membership in this club depends upon the ability of the entrant to pass a certain voice test prepared by Miss McKinney. A few of the favored compositions are Sympathy from the light opera, The Firefly by Rudolf Friml, By the Bend of the River, Italian Street Song, Day of Golden Promise and the favorite, Now the Day is Over. This famous song usually closes the re- hearsals. The Glee Club sang at several an- nual events such as: The County Chorus, Commencement exercises and Bacca- laureate. This year Miss McKinney took several members from the Glee Club to Fort Wayne to sing at the Teachers ' Convention. There are eight members of the Glee Club that make up the double quartet. This includes Ruth Lige, Marguarete Reed, Geraldine Mason, Genevieve El- son, Lucy Goodall, Alice McClellan, Luella Tallen and Elizabeth Brown. Those girls sang at Fort Wayne over WOWO, at the Music Club ' s monthly entertainment, Rotary Club and other places. Due to graduation four mem- bers will be gone: Ruth Lige, Geraldine Mason, Genevieve Elson, and Alice McClellan.

Mr. Weathers was chosen as sponsor. He appointed a program committee with Joe Lumm chairman, Helen Ruskin, Ruth Lige, Genevieve Elson, and Har- old Stump, assistants. This committee with the help of Mr. Weathers planned the type of programs to be presented at the meetings. The purpose of this organization was to study current events. Each meeting a different event was discussed and much knowledge was gained by con- trasting other governments to our own. The club met the first and third Mon- day of the month at the Y. M. C. A. The programs consisted of talks, music, occasional contests, and refreshments. The club ended its fourteenth year under the sponsorship of Mr. Weathers. Only those students who had the aver- age grade of C or higher from the Junior history classes or Senior civics classes were entitled to membership.

This year, in this organization, many activities were carried on. Meetings were held on the first and third Thurs- day of each month at which talks on some phase of agriculture were given by different members of the organiza- tion. In these, parliamentary drill was always an important feature. This gave the boys information on conduct- ing business meetings. One of the main events this year was the Father and Son meeting held on March 28, in keeping with the F. F. A. Father and Son ' s week. At this meeting interesting talks were given by members of the organ- ization, followed by refreshments. Oth- er outstanding occasions were: The attending of the district meeting in An- gola, in which the Auburn members took part; and the pest hunt contest staged this spring. This year thirty-four students en- rolled in the F. F. A. This was about three-fourths of the entire agriculture class. The members contributed many exhibits at the county fair and the County Muck Crop Show. These brought a large share of first premiums. Under the leadership of Mr. Horna- day the F. F. A. boys have succeeded in adding another successful year to their good record. Biology Class ami Agriculture Laboratory 57 MANUAL TRAINING SHOP An unusually large number of Fresh- men enrolled this year for the course in Manual Training. The time spent under Mr. Cosper ' s supervision is very profitable. One is taught not only to use his head but also to use his hands in acquiring useful knowledge. The first week the boys are taught to use T squares, triangles, and their drawing sets, and how to apply them to their mechanical drawing. The rest of the first semester the boys are en- gaged in making all their own blue prints to be used in their wood working. The second semester the boys are moved to the wood shop where they make many useful articles such as lamps, cedar chests, clothes racks, and many other things. ART The artistically minded students spend an hour every morning in the Art Room under the supervision of Miss Sellers, who is a graduate from the John Herron Art Institute with a B. S. Degree. These Art students helped the Junior- Senior Play and Operetta by making posters for advertising. The Art students also produce tooled leather bags, wall hangings, wood carvings, and block prints. Outdoor sketching was another part of class work. This year ribbons were won at the Free Fall Fair by Maurice Wyatt and Ruth Surf us. ART GROUP 58 SENIOR ENGLISH SENIOR ENGLISH There were twenty-four seniors tak ' ing Senior English this year under the instruction of Miss Dawson. The first semester the class discussed the more important English writers and their works. The second semester the class studied modern writers. The class was comprised of: Norma Updike, Marjorie Lawhead, Dorothy Slick, Helen Bassen, Dorothy Mavis, Frances Close, Margaret Ringler, Kath- ryn Blickenstaff, Vivian Davidson, Marjorie Barr, Charlotte Lochner, Doris Coyle, Helen Ruskin, Martelle Carper, Lee Anderson, Arthur Hines, Bud Chorpenning, Robert Douglas, John Morris, Harold Stump, George Pulver, Don Merchanthouse, Mahlon Rieke, and Bud Phillips. COMMERCIAL The commercial group is composed of the best and most promising students in the three lines of commercial work — shorthand, bookkeeping, and typing. In the shorthand group were: Esther Smith, Frances Close, Evelyn Rosen- berry, Helen Bassen, Alice McClellan, Rovine Dawson, Ruth Grogg, and Georgia Vachon. Margaret Hinsey, Esther Smith, Rob- ert Berg, Charles Rainier, Alice McClel- lan, Rovine Dawson, and Evelyn Rosenberry made up the bookkeeping group. The typing group consisted of Lee Anderson, Ruth Lige, Charlotte Loch- ner, Irene Loutzenhiser, Genevieve El- son, Marjorie Holben, Helen Ruskin, Rovine Dawson, Martha Kimmell, and Wilma Lige. COMMERCIAL GROUP 59 eniors GIRLS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Girls ' Athletic Association is a national organization and is found throughout the state. The purpose of this club is to stimu- late interest in girls health and physical activities and to promote ideals m the same. Awards are given for outstanding ability shown in the different sports during the season. First award is a class numeral won by making the first team in three different sports. Second award is a school monogram won by making the first team in six different sports. Third award is a Black A won by making the first team in ten different sports. Auburn High organized the G. A. A. Club in the year of 1934, and has very successfully carried it on this year. Juniors l,n Sophomores - ; - - — s GIRLS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Four major basketball teams were chosen this year which consisted of the four different classes — Freshmen, Soph- omore, Junior, and Senior. An Inter-Class tournament was played after school in the big gym. The Seniors played three games and won three which entitled them to the name of the Champs. The Juniors were next with two games out of three and the other two classes tied for third place with one game out of three. Noon League basketball was also or- ganized this year and that appeared to be successful. The Lilies and Cowslips tied for first place, each winning five games out of six. ft -v- .. fMU [I r ' i .

Among the Juniors are Robert Buchanan and Richard Fink who will continue on the annual staff next year. Gilbert Shull, Bob Buchanan, Basil McDougall, Richard Fink, Eleanor Fribley, and Joan Hoff will take roles in the dramatic productions of the school. High hopes are held in Russell Wil- liams, Tom Mason, Don Myers, Jess Myers, Walter Stebing, George Reeder, and David Rodecap to uphold the ath- letic standards of Auburn High. Other Juniors like Roger Close and Naomi Garman will defend us in Discussion. In music Marguarete Reed, Lucy Good- all, and others will continue their good work. In the Sophomore Class there are many who will continue to play in the orchestra and band, namely: Ray Thomas, Howard Foust, Virgil McNabb and others. Luella Tallen, Wayne Crpie and Kathryn Mefford will take parts in the Operetta and other musical activities. Ray Thomas, Jack Smith and Lavern Beckberger have made out- standing records in Math and it is hoped that Lavern will represent Auburn in the Geometry contests next year. Other Sophomores will take parts in Discussion and other curncular ac- tivities. The Freshman Class has taken an active part m athletics, plays, operettas, vocational work and other activities, and provide promising material for next year. With all these talented pupils we feel assured that Auburn High School will uphold its enviable standard. v ■-JL — ' • ita ' hi ■■L 1 ! 1 J ' i ' V Familiar sights at the Jr-Sr. Banquet 62 athletics Athletics in the schools of the past luas not totally unknown for they ban fencing, wrest- ling, a tunc of boxing, ann other sports. In the srhools of today there are not many of these sports in use, but in tlieir plarcs arc football, basketball, baseball, ann trark. (These sports serue as an outlrt for pent-up energy for the stit- nent spectators as utell as the players and en- ables tbosc uibo engage in these sports to deuclop tbemselues both physically and men- tally. Under tlie beading of Atliletirs we baue put football, basketball, ann track as the sports presented in modern srbools. 63 COACH YOUNG Zeke has been with us for eleven years and each year has turned out highly success ' ful teams in football, basketball and track. He has succeeded in sending several basket- ball teams to the regional tourney. His track team was exceptionally good this year. His extensive knowledge of all athletics in a school that sponsors several sports cannot be over-estimated. We salute, Zeker ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Auburn High School Athletic Association is an organisation managed by the students and supervised by Mr. Schooley and Mr. Fribley. All stu- dents who purchase season basketball tickets or have been on an athletic squad are considered members. The officers who were elected this year were: Harold Stump, President; Mary Carper, Secretary, and Mr. Schooley, Faculty Treasurer. Each officer filled his posi- tion capably and willingly. The Girls Athletic Association which was organized last year elected Vivian Davidson, President; Dorothy McClintock, Vice President; Geneva Rinehold, Secretary; and Charlotte Lochner, Treasurer. They were ably advised by Miss Haynes who is a new- comer to the Auburn Faculty. Davidson Schoole M. Carper Stump 64 . Mvers Berg . Mvers hierchanthouse FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL CAPTAINS The football squad was led by two captains this year. Jess Myers who held the position of fullback, governed the baekfield while Bob Berg, who played either center or guard, controlled the line. They knew what plays to pull at the right time and how to pep the boys up when the team was dis- heartened. Don Merchanthouse led the basket- ball team through to the regional tour- ney this year. He is a steady, de- pendable player. He will be missed on the squad next year. Three athletic managers were elected this year. They were: Dave Williams, Track manager; Bud Phillips, Football manager, and George Pulver, Basket- ball manager. They accompanied the teams on all trips and managed. Jud ' s talks before the assembly were real pep talks. He fairly lived with the team and therefore gave us the straight dope on each game they played. The old saying Dynamite comes in small packages does justice to Max Shook, our little but mighty yell leader. Max always kept the fans awake and ready to boost the team at all times. He will be back next year. Shoo Williams Pulver Phillips 65 The last football game of the season FOOTBALL Last fall, approximately fifty students turned out for practice on the gridiron. Veterans and recruits spent many hours of hard work in hopes of filling a posi ' tion on the varsity eleven. The season opened here on Septem- ber fifteenth. The plunging of the De- catur speedy hacks and the muddy field helped to spell defeat for the Red Devils. The following Saturday the Red Dev- ils came back and defeated the Columbia City eleven in a hard fought game. Jess Myers, fullback, was confined to the bench this game due to injuries. The next Friday night the Red Devils traveled to Fort Wayne to invade the camp of the North Side Redskins. The Auburn line was unable to stop the fleet-footed Redskins and we suffered a 25-0 defeat. The next week, being fair- week, Auburn had no scheduled game and the boys were given a short vaca- tion over the week-end. Auburn next traveled to Bluffton to be defeated 18-0 by Bluffton ' s powerful all letterman team. Auburn next trav- eled five miles west for the big game of the season, Auburn vs. Garrett. This game proved to be a thriller to the last minute. Auburn however showed their superiority by a 14-0 score. Stump Rie e Stac house Merchanthouse Pulver Morris Chorper, 66 Mai W.

This proved an easy game and the Red Devils won, 19-7. Varsity letters were awarded to twen- ty-two boys this year: Robert Sprague, Pierre Talbert, Gervase Hess, Hubert Hines, John Graham, Tom Mason, Rus- sell Williams, Lawrence Chorpenning, Chris Burns, Everett Mavis, Denzil Myers, Donald Merchanthouse, Mahlon Rieke, David Rodecap, Walter Stebing, Preston Stackhouse, Harold Stump, Carl Stallman, John Morris, Wilbur Essley, Robert Berg, and George Pulver. Those who received silver footballs this year were: Hubert Hines, George Pulver, Walter Stebing, Preston Stack- house, Harold Stump, and Chris Burns. Wilbur Essley, David Rodecap, John Morris, Donald Merchanthouse, Denzil Myers, and Robert Berg had previously been awarded these trophies. Talbert Stalin Sprague Poppe H.Hx 67 D. Myers ;. Myers Stump BASKETBALL TOM MASON, Tommy, Forward Tommy is undoubtedly one of the fastest cutting men on the team. His fast work and keen basket-eye should make points next year. DON MYERS, Prox, Guard Prox, a junior, should be a valuable man next year. With his height and under-the-basket shooting ability he is a tough man to guard. DENZIL MYERS, Jess, Forward The biggest man on the team, Jess, is fast and shifty on the floor. He is also good for his share of the points. WALTER STEBING, Walt, Forward Walt plays either forward or center. He is one of the hardest driving men on the team. HAROLD STUMP, Stumpier Guard The cool playing of Stumpie this year exerted a steady influence on the team. His defensive play was outstanding.

On defensive playing he took care of his man. RUSSEL WILLIAMS, Sammy, Center With his height and under the basket shooting, Sammy will be a tough man to guard on that center position next year. PRESTON STACKHOUSE, Stack, Center Although small for a center, Stack was able to hold his own against most of the opposing centers this year. His defensive work kept their scores down. GEORGE REEDER, George, Guard George, the smallest man on the team, is a good ball handler and a good guard. He also has a habit of dropping in a couple of baskets when needed. DAVID RODECAP, Denver, Forward Denver plays either guard or forward. His accurate one-handed pivot shots were outstanding this year and will come in very handy next year.

Miller, Williams, Renz SECOND TEAM Auburn started the season by winning from Ashley 26 to 23 but the following week-end fell victim under the hands of Avilla, 22 to 19. Then traveling southwest to Wabash the boys were handed the worst defeat of the season, 22 to 4. On November 28, the team traveled to Butler and won by 26 to 13. The fol- lowing Friday a rough and tumble game was lost to Goshen. Auburn again showed her superiority by defeating the powerful Riley team from South Bend, 27 to 24, also the Kendallville Meteors, 21 to 13. Dec. 21 the team was handed their fourth defeat of the season by the fast- breaking South Side team, score 37-33. On December 22, the first day of Christmas vacation, the team lost a hard fought game to Marion, 28 to 25. They came back the following week-end to beat Bluffton, 25 to 20. The last game of the Christmas va- cation, the boys were unable to click and were easy prey for the powerful Central team of Fort Wayne, 14 to 32. The Decatur Yellow Jackets coming to Auburn for the first game of the New Year, defeated Auburn, 31 to 18. The next week the team jour- neyed to New Haven and defeated them by a score of 29 to 17. On January 25 the team met their old rivals, the Rail- roaders. This proved to be an easy vic- tory for Auburn, winning 32 to 17. February 1 Auburn met Angola. This was a thrilling game till the last gun cracked but Auburn proved to be best by winning 31-25. February 2, Au- burn defeated the powerful Hartford City team, 29-17. Next week at North Side, Auburn defeated the Red Skins in what proved to be the most thrilling game of the season, 22-21. Playing their last two games at home, Auburn defeated LaGrange, 24-14, and a powerful Co- lumbia City team, 21-13, thus ending a successful season. Noon League Game 70 CLASS WINNER NOON LEAGUE Noon League and inter-class basket- ball attracted much attention this year. Many students habitually spent their noon hours in the gym supporting fa- vorite teams. These activities provide an opportun- ity for every one in High School to play basketball. They are also a fine source of entertainment for the students. Inter-class games were played on Monday and Tuesday and the regular Noon League games on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. An intense rival- ry characterised the competition for the inter-class championship. The Sopho- more class finished in the lead, with the Senior team second. The players on the Sophomore team were Poppele, Burns, Cripe, Gingrich, Winebrenner, and Hines. Lumm, Anderson, B. Pul- ver, G. Pulver, Edwards and Phillips composed the Senior team. The team, known as the P and G squad, captained by Lee Anderson, won the Noon League competition. This team lost only two games all sea- son and was composed of Lee Ander- son, Fink, Cripe, Poppele, H. Craven, Stebing, K. Marks, and M. Shook. The teams named Lifebuoy, Castile and Lux, which were captained by G. Pul- ver, Miller, and Edwards respectively, tied for second. The tournament, played after the regular season, was also won by Lee Anderson ' s team. The tournament for inter-class basket- ball was won by the Sophomore class. ST g EEgC LEAGUE WINNER 71 1 If f ' Our track men in action TRACK Nearly forty boys answered Coach Young ' s call for track athletics last spring. From the number of boys the Coach selected 18 boys to represent the Auburn High School in track and field events. Auburn o pened the track sea- son with a dual meet against Goshen. Our thinly clads made a good showing under the leadership of Captain Jess Myers. They easily won the meet, 57j 2 to 33J4. The following week the team entered another dual meet with Kendallville. This meet was held in the Garrett field, Thursday, April 21 and proved to be a pushover for the Red Devils winning 8IJ 2 to 32J 2- Auburn took first place in every event except pole vault and Myers tied with Bushong for first place in this event. For the next meet Auburn traveled eastward to Ohio, accepting the invi ' tation of Bryan for a triangular meet in which Bryan, Hicksville and Auburn were entrants. The Red Devils again scored 61 J 4 points to win the meet. Bryan placed second with 36 points to Hicksville ' s third with 17%. North Side again entertained the con- ference track meet. This was the first time in five consecutive years that Au- burn had not won this event. The powerful South Side team came through with high honors while Auburn placed 4th in the list. The Sectional, held at South Side, May 12, was the last meet of the season. Auburn placed 4th in this meet, quali- fying Myers for the State Finals. My- ers was entered in the Shot Put and the Broad Jump. Myers failed to place in the State out-door meet probably due to nervous- ness or old fashioned buck fever. At the end of the season, Walter Kruse, Frank Ramsey, Preston Stack- house, Gordon Mefford, George Reeder, Emmett Anderson, Robert Sprague, Russell Williams, Harry Brandon, Chris Burns, Joseph Lumm, Walter Stebing, Kenneth Graham, Donald Merchant- house, Robert Merchanthouse, William Kreider, Dentil Myers, and Harold Stump were awarded letters.

We will lose some valuable men from football, basketball, and track but there are others who will step into their shoes. Mason, Don Myers, W. Stebing, Sammy Williams, Reeder, and Rodecap will be back on the hardwood next winter. Jess Myers will be eligible the first part of the season. Due to the state association rule will needs quit the game as he passes out of his nineteenth year. Buchanan, Ferguson, Burns, both the Millers, Cripe, Dewitt, Gingrich, and Winebrenner are good players in the making and will carry on. Jess Myers will be in his usual back position on the football squad. Out of the fifty men on this year ' s pigskin brigade only ten or a dozen leave by graduation. Some good husky boys are to come over from Junior High. Seven football engagements are on the slate for next fall, including a new op- ponent — Huntington. The big final game — against Garrett — will be played in Auburn. The season opens Septem- ber 14 with Decatur, there. Ligonier and Albion will be re-instat- ed on the basketball schedule, and a cou- ple of far away teams will be dropped. Track includes a trip to Howe Military School, and possibly a meet in South Whitley. The usual track engagements with Fort Wayne, Kendallville, and Garrett are scheduled. Myers, in the broad jump Shot put 74 K YE HIGH CRIER VOLUME— LOUD PRICE— NONSENSE MUNCIE CAPTURES STATE TITLE SUBEXPLORER REACHES INDIES New Passenger Routes to be Developed Sir Budde Phillips, late of the navy, effected an under continent exploration from New York to Sitka, Alaska, and thence to Bombay, last week, according to reports just received in the home of- fices. New passenger routes are to be developed soon, Phillips to be chief conductor. Sir Budde used his under- water kayak, made from skins of the wild goose, in the un- der continent passage. Re- fueling was done beneath Auburn, Indiana, where Ce- dar Creek connects with the catch basin between the gymnasium and the high school building. Phillips said he knew this was the place for he recognised the chemistry laboratory fumes washed into the basin here. The trip was exciting, as may be expected, and was most difficult under the Rocky mountains, due to their enormous weight upon the under continent waters. The Phillips kayak barely cleared a passage under the greater part of the range. New Youth Restorer Recently Perfected Professor Schooley, Wiz- ard Walter, and Brain Trust Clarke have discovered a new youth restorer guaranteed to take any one back to his younger days. These three super-scientists have devot- ed their entire life to perfect- ing this marvelous invention. Several have tried this new wonder and it has been ru- mored about that this youth restorer is made up of potas- sium cyanide, denatured al- cohol, a generous portion of assembly ink and strychnine. This compound is guaran- teed by the inventors to cure old age. The entire public breath- lessly awaits the outcome of the tests made by the three eminent scientists on guinea pigs and themselves. Phillips has planned to market used Latin ponies in the far east and has contract- ed to dispose of all ponies al- ready stripped of cover and provender. The under con- tinent passage is of particular advantage for such an eso- teric profession. Commentators believe that (Continued on page 76) Dirty Work Suspected of Coach and Referee The Gumpp coached Mun- cie Bear Cats have just re- turned from the Butler Field House, the state High School Basket Ball champions for the year 1931. You see their coach Andrew Cue Ball Gumpp posing with the emi- nent official, Lloyd Miller, for- merly of the Ashley Tigers. It is the opinion of many of the fans and coaches who witnessed the state finals, that there may have been some underhand work going on between these two master- minds; which supposition may account for Muncie ' s victory. Gumpp and Miller have lately been reported have come out of the Muncie State bank, with Miller counting over an enormous roll of bills, and planning how many kiddie-kars it would purchase. This photo of the Muncie five was snapped after their victory over the Mooresville Corn-huskers in the finals at Indianapolis. You can de- tect the satisfied smile of vic- tory on their faces, by look- ing carefully. The team was composed of Cocky Lad Wal- ter, Dash Boy Hornaday, Squat Lumm, Tubby Grosh, and as usual Coach Andrew Cue Ball Gumpp held up his trustworthy position of draw back for dear old Muncie. As their looks and actions indicate, the boys on the squad are all Freshmen and the Muncie team will again be strong contenders for the state title in 1936 (if Miller is the official, and Gumpp ' s funds hold out!) 75 YE HIGH CRIER HEARD AND OVERHEARD That great big blushing, bashful Bob Gumpp has been reported as having moved down close to the Presbyterian parsonage. This makes it possible for Bobby to be home by his usual time, 8:30. There will be a special meeting of the Barber Shop Coaching League, after the game Friday night to deter- mine the startling line-up for next year. It seems that ladies as well as gentlemen prefer blondes, at least that Mary Ellen Hines looks at it, and is Mahlon Rieke ever glad. Fat Berg sure changed this year toward the girls. Dor- othy Maxwell surely does have a grip on him, and we always thought before that he was a woman hater. Ladies Prefer Blondes Use Rl EKE ' S SHUR-BLE ACH HAIR PEROXIDE A NEW PROFESSION The vocational guidance class of the Auburn high school has lately discovered possibilities in a new busi- ness: that of disposing of the waste paper and borrowed books found in the student desks in the Assembly. The number of non-re- turned books reaches the thousands during the course of a school year. Some peo- ple borrow from their best friends, in expectation that the friends will come after the books and look after their property. Others borrow from neighbors just in order to be walking around in the room. The books could be added to the lost and found depart- ment and a small fee extract- ed of the owner who left his stuff in his desk. The waste paper would be used to start a new local industry — com- pounding it into lumber and building materials. Enough old paper and handkerchiefs are left in the desks to build another postoffice in Auburn. ENORMOUS FIRE RUINS SCHOOL Tuesday morning, April 54, at nine P. M. a large conflagration was discovered in one of the lockers on the second floor. This fire spread rapidly and burned up all the lockers, door knobs, and even the fire gong, but did not harm the books, desks, or enormous piles of waste theme paper reserved by the pupils for spitballs. The heat from this fire was so great that the Auburn City Fire Department could not suc- cessfully combat the rising flames. The students of the school all hope that it will be rebuilt by 1950. The advanced mathemat- ics class was one of the small- er classes this year due to the fall off in prospective engi- neering students. This nec- essitated each member work- ing at the blackboard pretty often, and the continued raising of the right arm chalking propositions on the board has left a permanent raised right hand, palm ex- tended. This being the Hit- ler salute, these boys have already been offered posts of importance in the Rich- swehr.

Looking for old plates and engravings un- der the stairs of the Mcin- tosh building it is thought that Sir Budde got his foot into it. TRUCKING DONE Local and Long Distance Hauling Anything From Livestock to Merchant Houses All Goods Insured ROSENBERRY ' S CATTLE HACK 76 YE HIGH CRIER YOUNG ATTEMPTS NEWSPEEDRECORD Sir Malcolm Young to Make Another Trial The world will soon have a new motorcycle speed king, as Sir Malcolm Young at- tempts to better his previous mark of 276 miles per hour. He has the late model of his remade Turtle at Hamil- ton beach at the present time waiting for the wind and tide to get the beach lev- eled off and in condition for his daring trial. He lately took the Turtles motor apart to repair a leak in the water mains and when he assembled it, he found that there was no room for the carburetor. This, however, did not worry the speed king since he calculated that the lessened weight of his ma- chine, minus the carburetor would help him to establish a new record. In fact, the daring young idol of Amer- ican racing fans plans to re- move several other parts of the motor that to him seem to be unnecessary weight. Many of Sir Molcolm ' s close friends and relatives are imploring him to give up his dangerous undertaking, but when a Young ' s mind is made up it is made up. They maintain that his life is too valuable to the dear old A. H. S. athletic squads. It is rumored that some members of his barber shop coaching staff are going to put a great number of tacks in his course, so that they may be promot- ed to his position; since a slight swerving in his course might send him where it is too hot to ride motorcycles. The two suspicious look- ing characters in the picture are Young ' s right and left hand henchmen, (and also proud fathers) Miller and Coar. They are to be the official timers for the speed trials, so. Sir Malcolm will no doubt be successful in es- tablishing a new record. It is also interesting to note, that the Turtle will be fueled by gas from the Gumpp - Wilcox refineries, producers of the famous Shur-gro hair restorer. Many people will be on hand for the trials, and if a new record is made, Young plans a barnstorming tour of the United States to last about nine months. Three Famous Crapshots Get Together in Well Known Haunt Here we see the Three World Famous Crapshots in a well known underworld haunt. It has been rumored that Weathers and Zeigler are training for long distance runs from the cops by miss- ing rabbits that they shoot at, then run them down. Cosper is the only real crapshot here since he never misses. This picture was snapped by our super-sleuth, Eagle Eye Fnbley with his special XYZ Camera, when these three were looking. Fnbley told us on the inside that this picture was for publicity only.

Sus- picion Points to the Tiger Kid On the 54th of last Oc- tember, at about 1 1 :85 p. m. a vile and dastardly crime was committed, the horror of which has kept the minds of the horror stricken public in a state of confusion and uproar. This horrible crime was none other than the kidnap- ing of Midget Charleswood, Auburn ' s 250 pound flash, from his boudoir last Mon- day night. An account of the crime was given by Pansy Pulver, the modest nursemaid of the infant. I was just prepairing my red flannel night-gown when a piercing scream assailed my nostrils. I immediately donned my track shoes and did the 220 to the infant ' s room. As I opened the door I caught a glimpse of the kidnapers ' hoof as it disap- peared through the open window. A sight of con- fusion met my ears and mem- ories of that horrible scream flashed through my hat rack. Everything was in perfect order except for the frayed piece of anchor chain on the floor which Midget had evi- dently bitten in two when the kidnapers tried to bind him. (P.S. The anchor chain was used instead of the us- ual platinum wire because of the depression and the high price of platinum.) No traces of the kidnapers ' fin- gerprints were in evidence, although the middle front track of a hippo was plainly visible on the ceiling. In my confusion, I hiccoughed and awakened the entire house- hold, and immediately there- after I telephoned Herlock Jolmes Weathers of the local police force, and from there on he took charge of the case. After looking over the sit- uation Weathers casually re- marked that he could track down the kidnapers just as easily as he catches History book snatchers. After paus- ing to inform the gallery that was following him that he was formerly with the larg- est 5 ? 10 cent store in Min- neapolis, and that the life of a training camp soldier is just as strenuous as the life of a soldier on the front lines, he jumped into his coffee grinder and took off in pur- suit of the abductors. It is reported that Charles- wood was spirited away by Lipstick Mason, a notorious gun moll and vamp of the underworld, and Weathers feels confident that an ar- rest will be made soon.

The mob was dis- covered and reported by two prominent Mooresville beau- ties, Alice Donaldson, and Joan Swart;. The gang was captured only after a furious gun battle between the police and the bandits, during which twenty-four police- men were ' wounded but none were killed, because they were all shot in the head, and you can ' t hurt a bull in the head. The young ladies who gave away the gang ' s secret hide-out are reformed gun molls, who are just trying to get along. You will remem- ber them from the daring daylight robbery they engi- neered and were a part of, last Septober, when this pair, disguised as a couple of farm- ers ' daughters entered the Auburn Police Station and made off with several ma- chine guns and bullet proof vests. It was rumored that several members of this gang were seen in the vicinity of the Auburn Fieldhouse dur- ing the Regional Tourna- ment. It is also interesting to note that during the tour- nament the cash drawers of the fieldhouse were supposed to have been robbed. The leader of the gang, Baby Face Moughler casually remarked, however, that the only rea- son that they didn ' t pull the job at Auburn was because it would have been too easy. In fact Moughler said, Aw, we just didn ' t have the in- testinal fortitude to take candy away from kids. The nation can rightfully feel greatly relieved at their BRAND NEW NOVEL!
