In the past few years streamlining has flashed around the world and now occupies an important place in every person ' s life. Why this trend toward streamlining? It combines beauty and efficiency. It makes things compact and eliminates non-essentials. It brings about greater speed and more progress. In our own community, where Auburn and Cord au- tomobiles are manufactured, streamlining is not only im- portant, but essential. The success of the industry de- pends upon it; people demand it. Auburn is streamline conscious. Then, too, streamlining is symbolic of progress, and progress is the keynote, the goal of all modern schools. Each year new methods and new ideas are brought into the school system to better it and bring greater efficiency to both students and faculty. So, in direct contrast to the 1935 yearbook, commem- orating the founding of the first high school, we present an annual of today — and of the future. i Page 7 The most used and best known of the high school portals is THE FRONT ENTRANCE Page 8 y 111 t aiwfewi ' i v jifeii pb!m ' U f i m ' n i, ' m ' %i t: W t p ' i. r j ; .TO ; ' ; ' ! ■ ' vf ijm ' - iiif ' fen Students who live in the southern part of the city most often pass through THE SOUTH ENTRANCE Page 9 To watch basketball games, gather for pep sessions and take part in athletics, students go through THE GYMNASIUM ENTRANCE Page 10 ADMINISTRATION AND CLASSES Streamlined might well apply to a school year in these modern times, for the classes, athletics, and organizations are compact and fast progressing. The faculty and students cooperate to gain a more complete education and a great deal is accomplished in the thirty-six week school term. New methods, new books, and new ideas help the students speed through a year filled with many activities. So we present, in a streamlined fash- ion, the Administration and Classes in one group. Page 11 B. O. Snepp H. L. McKenney SCHOOL BOARD Auburn High School is exceptionally fortunate in the choice of members of its School Board. The four men on the board represent every quality — moral, physical, financial and educational knowledge — needed for guidance, supervision and administration of school affairs. Mr. D. M. Link, who is president of the group, has had years of experience as an attorney and served as judge in the DeKalb circuit court for several terms. His knowledge of law has been a great assistance in the decisions of the board. Dr. A. V. Hines, who is a graduate of Auburn High School and a well known surgeon and physician, is well qualified to advise in all matters con- cerning health. He acts as treasurer of the board and is a loyal sports enthusiast. Mr. B. O. Snepp, secretary of the board, has been an executive of the Au- burn Automobile Company for several years and his experience in this po- sition makes him an excellent man to advise in financial matters. He is also a booster of the school athletic activities. From an educational standpoint, Mr. H. L. McKenney, the executive officer, offers great assistance to the board. He has had extensive training, has been superintendent of Auburn Schools for thirteen years and is well informed in all educational matters. Mr. McKenney is well liked by students and teachers. All recognize him as an exponent of fair play and efficiency. The city council appoints the board and then the members appoint the superintendent of the schools as their executive officer. The ' group must make up the budget for the Auburn schools and regulate the institutions in accordance with the laws of the state. As in past years, the group has done an excellent job in all phases of its work. The entire thirty-six week school term was made possible and in spite of a limited budget an extensive program of studies was provided. The students and faculty of the high school deeply appreciate and sin- cerely respect the School Board for its excellent judgment and fine guidance of school activities throughout the year.

B. — English and Latin Michigan State Normal College Syracuse University ADMINISTRATION There were two changes in faculty personnel this year. Miss Frances Moor took the place of Mrs. Clarice West as music supervisor and Miss Marguerite Downing replaced Miss Swaim as head of the home economics work. The high school was changed to a homeroom basis shortly after the mid- year. In this system each student reports to his first period class when he comes to school in the morning and is not assigned a seat in the assembly hall except during study periods. Books and possessions are kept in lockers. This change was effected because the school had become too large for the daily pre-school exercise period of the old days. A general convocation is held bi-weekly and special assemblies or programs are called from time to time. Page 13 ADMINISTRATION Daily announcements are made in the homerooms, a mimeographed sheet is given to teachers each morning. Instruction or guidance in social and school procedures is made through the homeroom, too. In the past this information was given Freshmen in the Freshmen rooms. Now the guidance sheets are made applicable to each class. The school band has increased by bounds. This year the combined band- orchestra developed into a ninety-six piece organization and this meant an in- crease in the instruction of the group. The boys ' chorus increased in size this year also. A boys ' quartet was organized for the first time. More visual instruction was done this year than previously. The high school Parent-Teacher Association purchased a 16mm. motion picture pro- jector for high school use. This was financed by P.-T. A. money plus funds donated by classes of past years who had money left from their school days. All the classes which graduated during the past dozen years turned over their bank balances. Mrs. Clarence McClintock was president of the P-T. A. this year. Mrs. B. O. Snepp was treasurer and Mrs. Harry Kreamelmeyer, secretary. FACULTY SOCIAL SCIENCE AND FINE ARTS MR. FRANK WEATHERS A.

The yellow slip had been a penalty for absence for no good reason and carried a deduction of scholastic credit. There was no change in curriculum this year. Auburn ' s curriculum in- cludes citizenship instruction on state and national constitutions as outlined by the state department. Instruction m safety was carried on during the year. The school day consisted of six periods of 57 minutes each. Three minutes were allowed for passing of classes. FACULTY VOCATIONAL SUBJECTS AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION MISS KATHRYN WELLBAUM B.

One of the Sophomore history classes Page 39 Vocations and Freshman Math classes 1 FRESHMAN CLASS This Freshman class gathered one day in September last year as a group ready for its educational trip through Auburn High School. They were seem- ingly shoved around at first and sometimes made blunders but they soon learned how to get around and really accomplish things. Donald Schaab and Jane Hines forged ahead and wiere chosen to enter the district algebra contest at Fort Wayne; several of the Freshmen took part in the operetta and joined the various musical organizations; and Stanley Hines was one of the most outstanding Freshman athletes, earning a letter and a silver football. In the fall fair parade the group had its first experience at decorating an automobile to carry the class officers and advisor in the event. They chose a black Auburn phaeton trimmed in green and white decorations with green disks in the wheels. Bottom row: Farmer, Lawhead, Hachet, Ruskin, Hall, D. Boren, I. Burns, Long, A.

Their novel idea for raising funds was a skating rink in the basement of the Commercial Club and it proved a very successful project. Every year a reception is given in honor of the Freshmen and the three upper classes participate in giving them a hearty welcom.e. The Sophomores decorated the little gym, the Juniors furnished the refreshments, and the Seniors had charge of the entertainment. The Senior president. Bob Buchanan, welcomed the incoming class and the Freshman president, Frederick Hall, gave a speech m return. The whole affair was very informal in order to make the newcomers feel at home. Freshmen in the Honor Group this year are: Jane Hines, Peggy Hachet, Donald Schaab, and Doris Fain. Bottom row: B. Myers, N. McSorley, Sands, J. O ' Neal, McDarby, P. Ratrie, Treesh, V. McNutt, H.

In addition to the usual events of the year several new entertainments were added. The first entertainment of the year, in which all four classes participated, was the annual P.-T. A. potluck held in the gym.nasium. The association of- fers a prize to the class which has the largest number of parents who are mem- bers and which has the most parents attending the potluck. The Sophomores won the attendance prize and the Seniors were first in the total membership. The three upper classes officially welcomed the Freshmen to the high school with a reception on September 21. The Seniors provided an amateur program for the entertainment, the Juniors served refreshments and the Sophomores decorated the little gym in the Freshman class colors. All four classes decorated cars for the fall fair parade. The Seniors rode in a black supercharged roadster with red streamers and the Juniors had a float representing the melting pot. The Sophomores used green and white deco- rations for their automobile and the Freshmen had a phaeton with green streamers. The Juniors used the Junior Carnival as a means to increase their well dent- ed bank account. A sixty dollar profit repaid the class members for their efforts. At Christmas time. Iris Pendland, Martha Close, Elizabeth Brown, Jeanne Carmer, Robert Potter, Pierre Talbert, Rex Renz and Paul Ritts from the Sopho- more class gave a scene from a Santa Claus broadcast. A novel program, to celebrate the day on which the annuals were distrib- uted, was given by annual staff members and other classmen. A program such as this had never been given before in the high school. On May 17 the Seniors attended baccalaureate services in the Methodist Church. Reverend Craven preached the sermon for the group. The Juniors entertained the Seniors at a banuet given at Potawatomi Inn on Lake James. A program, dancing and bridge were features of the evening. The Seniors were presented with diplomas at the commencement exercises held in the gymnasium May 20. Mr. S. W. Grathwell was the main speaker and talked to the group about their future years. The picnic at Circle Park concluded all class activity for the year. I s.

The fast-moving, completely filled days of the school year present a multitude of new experiences and events to the students. Each new day brings some- thing different and the student is pre- pared to benefit from it. This year es- pecially has brought many innovations — a new home room system, instruction by motion picture and other things novel to the student. We present this section of the mod- ern, streamlined School Life. Page 43 School starts once again Max leads a yell; the Auburn backfield SEPTEMBER With Freshmen blundering about the halls, finding themselves in the wrong classrooms and Seniors trying their best to look dignified, school was resumed in the usual manner the day after Labor Day. Out of the total enrollment of about 400 the Freshmen again broke all records with 118. Two new teachers became a part of the faculty at the beginning of school. Miss Marguerite Downing started her Home Ec classes and Miss Frances Moor took over her music work. Roger Close was elected football business manager and after two weeks of practice the season began with a bit of hard luck. The Auburn Red Devils lost the first game to Decatur, 1 3-6. Noon league baseball was organized under the leadership of Mr. Coar and the mighty swatters and fly chasers were often seen in the rear of the school. In the second week of the term the classes decided upon their officers for the year. The Seniors chose Bob Buchanan as president; Basil McDougall, vice president; Virginia George, secretary; and Eleanor Fribley, treasurer. For the third consecutive year Mr. Miller was elected class advisor. The other classes held election s, the Juniors naming Ray Thomas to lead them; Sophomores, Robert Potter; and Freshmen, Frederick Hall. The first mark on the social calendar was the Freshman Reception, Sep- tember 21, when the three upper classes welcomed the newcomers. The Sophomores decorated the little gym, the Seniors gave an amateur program and the Juniors topped off the evening with ice cream. The football squad galloped all over the Columbia City field to humble the Eagle eleven, 31-8. Then during a heavy downpour, North Side of Fort Wayne skidded and slid to a 19-7 victory over Auburn. Were you one of the spectators under the big canvas when it collapsed? The Athletic Association went into a huddle and came out with the decis- ion that Tom Mason, Joan Swartz and Mr ' . Schooley were to be officers for the year. Page 44 OCTOBER The Auburn football team journeyed to Ohio where a touchdown in the last minute of play defeated South High of Lima. The four classes tried to outdo each other in decorations and entertainment lor the annual P.-T. A. potluck in the gymnasium. The Freshmen gave a burlesque of a classroom, the Sophomores offered a human puppet show (in spite of Rex Renz ' s unexpected spill from the ladder), the Juniors, a wax figure exhibition, and the Seniors, q day in a theatrical producer ' s office. As the week of the Auburn Fall Fair rolled around, teachers found it difficult to banish the thoughts of popcorn, side shows, and blue ribbons from the minds of the students. With faces covered with flour and slightly worn trouser seats, the new members of the Hi-Y survived the annual initiation. In the first gridiron battle at home the Auburn eleven came out on the short end of a 12-6 score in favor of Bluffton. Congressman J. I. Farley gave an interesting talk to the Senior civics classes on his experience as representative. The tables were turned when the teachers went away to school during Institute. Of course, the students did not object to this two-day vacation. Auburn Red Devils walloped the Edon, Ohio, boys with a 25-0 victory. Boys in blue overalls with red bandana handkerchiefs were seen roaming around the halls as a result of the F. F. A. initiation. History Clubbers elected officers and held their first meeting, and under the sponsorship of Miss Downing the Home Ec Club was formed. The little gym took on Hallov e ' en color and festivity as the Junior barkers, fortune tellers, and performers put on the annual carnival. Proof of its success was the large increase in the badly bent bank account of the class. Auburn was defeated in football at Huntington with a score of 19-6. Students in the Senior civics classes heard Mr. Harry Shull, state repre- sentative, discuss the meeting of the state legislature. Outside school; sketching The annual P.-T. A. potluck Page 45 NOVEMBER The first big pep session was held in the gymnasium in anticipation of the Auburn-Garrett football game. Finally the important day arrived and Au- Durn derailed the Railroaders, 19-0. This was the last game of the season, making a total of four victories and four losses. Basketball practice started immediately and Everett Mavis was elected business manager of the team at a meeting of the Athletic Association. Students welcomed a release from classes to hear an art appreciation program. The Donkey Basketball game provided funds for the P.-T. A., amusement for the students, and meals off the mantle for the faculty team. Armistice Day, Mr. Schooley and Mr. Markert told of their World War experiences, Mr. Markert telling of the German side and Mr. Schooley of the American viewpoint. The Junior-Senior Play, Bachelor ' s Choice, was presented successfully and members of the cast, stage managers, and others connected with it, re- laxed and resumed school. In the first basketball game of the season, the Ashley Tigers were beaten 22-21. Keep it up Auburnl A mad scramble for season ticket prospects began as the drive was start- ed. The high school students were able to purchase their tickets for only a dollar. Mr. A. Cone gave a very interesting account of his world travels in an assembly program and many of the boys decided that they, too, would like to be globe hitch-hikers. In the second basketball game, the highest score for several years was piled up to defeat Albion, 52-19. Four more days vacation, not to mention turkey and cranberry sauce, during Thanksgiving were greatly appreciated. Again the Red Devils were victorious as Butler was taken into camp, 22-15. f f P f Between halves; The Four Horsemen ' Selling tickets; scene from the play Page 46 Winter comes again Donkey basketball; G. A- A. Christmas tree DECEMBER The Auburn team was defeated for the first time in a spectacular game with Ligonier. After an overtime period the score was 31-29. Ask Mr. Weath- ers why there was an argument about Tom Mason ' s foul shot. The second six weeks, the honor roll came out with a total of 48 students. The Sophomores and Seniors were tied with 14 students from each class. The intelligence standard seems to be going up! Several victories in a row were piled up by the Auburn quintet. Riley of South Bend was beaten 30-22 and the Kendallville team was defeated in a near football game on the K-ville floor to the tune of 25-20. Do you remember the morning Mr. Fribley, while talking in the assembly, became absent-minded and dipped his finger in the ink-well? Was his face redl The G. A. A. members celebrated the holiday season with a decorated Christmas tree and a party. The much longed for Christmas vacation finally arrived and for two care- free weeks the students enjoyed the deep snow. It was rumored that Santy Clous brought the usual quota of baby dolls, tricycles and peppermint sticks to the students and faculty. During the vacation the basketball team practiced every afternoon and on New Year ' s Eve the Red Devils went to Bryan playing the last basketball game of the old year. The Ohio boys were defeated, being on the short end of a 36-21 score. The freeze-up and deep snow which started along in the first of Decem- ber still prevailed and made it hard truckin ' . Page 47 Winter views of hiqh school Going to pep session; Mavis in front of assembly JANUARY The first basketball game of the New Year Auburn was defeated by Central of Fort Wayne, 51 to 37. Incidentally, the 37 point score piled up by the Auburn team was one of the highest made against Central this Another defeat was inflicted by Decatur with a score of 47-34 but Kendall- ville was warped in another rough and tumble game, by a score of 31-24. Mr. Fribley went to Chicago to represent the Indiana Athletic Associa- tion. Donald Goings was awarded a Purdue Scholarship for his work in Aqri- culture, 4-H Club, and the F. F. A. The Senior Civics Class visited the Post Office and sa w where all the mail is mixed up and untangled again. The Red Devils were victorious over New Haven in a hard fought game, with a final score of 26-24. Garrett came next on the program and a large pep session, in antici- pation of a victory, was held in the big gym. The students weren ' t dis- appointed even though it looked bad during the first half. Ths final score was 30-20 in Auburn ' s favor. Auburn scored 48 points against Angola ' s 30 in an easy victory over the Hornet five. However, since the famed keg had been destroyed it was not brought home to repose in the trophy case. Old man winter went on a rampage and sent some below zero weather that almost froze the thermometer. Many students, not to mention mem- bers of the faculty, dug up earmuffs, mufflers, galoshes, overshoes, and many other prehistoric items used way back when men were men. Page 48 FEBRUARY Miss Dawson gave an interesting talk to the History Club on her sum- mer trip to Alaska. North Side of Fort Wayne was beaten in the most thrilling game of the season. After two overtime periods, free throws, as provided in the new rules, were the deciding factor of the game. The score was 49-48. Four reels on the life of Lincoln, shown m the assembly, broke the monotony and routine of every-day classwork. The Lions Club presented the school with a line-up board to show names and numbers of players on the home team and visiting squad to basketball fans. The Red Devils subdued the Bluffton Tigers by a score of 31-26. Dan Kreamelmeyer gave a talk in front of the assembly asking the students to drive carefully. His discussion came close to several famous high school race drivers. Frozen ears and very red noses became common as the weather remained at its below zero temperature. There were new lands for the girls to conquer after Zeke gave out the silver footballs. Many of the young ladies had already staked their claims but there was competition among the few left and jumping in other parts. ' % Columbia City was defeated 25 to 24 on its stage by Auburn in a hard fought game. After the tilt had been postponed for a week because of icy weather. Auburn brought home its eighth straight victory by overcoming LaGrange 29-24. A motion picture with sound, showing Ab Jenkins ' record breaking au- tomobile runs on the salt-beds of Utah, was enjoyed by all. After the pic- ture he talked to the physics class about his experiences. Ab Jenkins; assembly where programs are given What a winter! Page 49 MARCH The Golden Trail, a story of the wild and woolly West was chosen as the operetta and cast try-outs were started. Old Man Basketball became king as Auburn entered the sectional tourney held at Garrett. After defeating their first foe, Salem Center, the Red Devils went on to conquer Spencerville, Garrett, and then Angola, gaining the right to play in the regional. Auburn was host for the regional tourney and in defiance of a dismal drizzle many fans turned out in full force to support their teams. In a very un-guest-like manner Columbia City surprised the Auburn five with a 48-37 defeat. Auburn radio fans turned their dials to station WOWO on March 16 when the students of the high school presented a half hour program. The features of the program were a talk, The Advantages of Living in Auburn, given by Bob Kreamelmeyer, a scene from The Necklace, and various musica l numbers. Again basketball came to the fore as the super-regional tourney was held at Muncie where Central was the victor. Sam Williams was chosen as the most valuable man on the basketball team by members of the Hickory Club. On March 25 the reins of city government were given to high school boys for an hour. In the political campaign Walter Stebing was elected mayor; Pierre Talbert, clerk-treasurer; and five other students, councilmen. Especially successful in enforcement of the law were Max Shook, police chief and Dick Poppele, his deputy, for three of the high school damsels were put in the jug for disturbance of the peace. Roeine Garman and Warren Clarke upheld the high school laurels by placing first and second respectively in the county discussion contest. In the state tournament the Central boys showed that northern teams know their stuff by going to the finals where Frankfort defeated them. In front of school- selling candy At the regional tourney Page 50 One of the spring track meets — JL.i A It must be spring fever APRIL Not even one report of an April fool joke was heard. Are the students becoming dignified? Eleanor Fribley was a DeKalb county winner in the thirteenth annual state high school Latin contest. A large attendance to The Golden Trail, the operetta, proved its big sue- cess for it went over with a bang (in fact, several bangs). The singing, dancing, (especially that miner ' s dance) and the brilliant costumes were entertain- ing and novel. Five members of this year ' s basketball squad were seen sporting red sweaters with black A ' s and warned by Zeke to stay shy of the fair damsels who clustered about them. The weatherman must have mixed his signals for who ever heard of snow so late in April? Roeine Garman, a Sophomore, who was the winner in the DeKalb county discussion, was awarded second place in the district contest at Fort Wayne. Trackmen, after two weeks of practice, won their first spring meet at Albion. Two other foes vanquished during the month were Kendallville and Howe Military Academy. The picture of Shakespeare ' s play, A Midsummer Night ' s Dream, was given at the Court Theatre at special prices, enabling students to attend. As the Annual went to press members of the staff were seen dashing madly about with their hair ruffled and a wild glint in their eyes. The spring Concert marked the last day of April. Excellent selections were given by the band, orchestra and girls ' glee club. Page 51 Scenes from the picnic rhe Jr-Sr. banquet at Potawatomi MAY The track men saw plenty of action in the sectional meet on May 9th and in the state finals a week later. All lettermen and many other students attended a feed given by the Hickory Club in honor of Don Lash, a graduate of Auburn High. Bo McMil- lin, football coach of Indiana University, was the principal speaker. At last the expectant day arrived! Bright and shiny annuals were given out to the students. The teachers still attempted to conduct classes in spite of the intensive autographing and signing. Reverend H. F. Craven delivered the sermon at baccalaureate services held in the Methodist Church on Sunday, May 17. Seniors were both joyful and sad as their expectations of the day v ere finally realized. The usual sighs of the girls were heard as our athletes were again reward- ed. This time it was track letters distributed by Zeke in the assembly. White chenille winged A ' s were given. The Juniors entertained the Seniors at the annual banquet held at Pota- watomi Inn on May 18th. Food, dancing and bridge kept the banquetites well occupied. Of course, it must be recorded that the girls looked exceed- ingly stunning and the boys very handsome! The -Auburn Business and Professional Women ' s Club gave a banquet, in honor of the girl graduates, at the Country Club. May 20th marked the end of a goal long looked forward to — commence- ment and diplomas! This was the end of four years of study and hard work mixed with the usual amount of carefree high school life. Samuel W. Grath- well delivered the address to officially launch the graduates in their new life. The last event of the year was the high- school picnic at Circle Park, with its skating, braving of the icy waters, and unexpected dunking. Page 52 :y iTit ACTIVITIES Every student in a modern school must apply the principle of streamlining to take advantage of the great number of activities offered to him. In addition to the regular routine of studies, stu- dents may take part in Band, Orchestra, Girls ' Chorus, Boys ' Chorus, Glee Club, History Club, Jr.-Sr. Play, Operetta, Boys ' Hi-Y, Home Economics Club, F. F. A., and several others. Each year these organizations make greater prog- ress and reach new and higher goals. We present our streamlined group of Activities.

Thomas, Fitch EDITORIAL In creating The Follies of 1936 we chose as our theme, streamlining, and in accordance with this theme we have changed the entire make-up of the book. We have tried to contrast our present annual with the yearbook, which commemorated the founding of the first high school, published last year. New layouts, new write-ups and new borders have been the aim in de- veloping our ideas. We have endeavored by these and other methods to give the annual an effect of speed, progress a nd streamlining. The size of the book has not been changed but a large increase in the number of pages has been made. The Associated Engraving Company of Fort Wayne has helped us to spend our hard earned funds with greater saving. The always dependable Mr. L. M. Jones was chosen to take the photographs and outdid himself in producing excellent work. Our cover problem was nicely solved by the MoUoy Company of Chicago and the Auburn Printing Company cooperated in a fine way to print the book. Mr. Fribley ' s aid was again invaluable. His knowledge, willing coopera- tion and good nature have made the producing of the book a much easier and more enjoyable task. The members of the faculty, too, allowed students to leave classes for pictures and did not com.plain although their work was interrupted. Nor v ould it be possible to have a better staff, for the excellent work a nd willingness of all to lend a hand have made this book possible. So we have our completed, streamlined annual, The Follies of 1936. — Robert Buchanan Page 55 Bottom row; Second row Third row: R. Thomas, J. Hines, Hachet, Mefford, M. Close, I. Smith A. Hefner, Shimer, Ho(t, Fribley, Olds, Peelle, Fain, Kuhlman D. Schaab, Noren, Buchanan, Talberi, Nelson HONOR GROUP The purpose of the honor roil is to give the students who excel scholastically a merited honor. Each six weeks the list of those receiving two or more A ' s is published. From these lists the four highest ranking pupils in each class are selected for the yectrly honor roll. If there should happen to be a tie between two or more, all are included in the group. This year ' s honor group consists of the following: Seniors, Robert Nelson, Robert Buchanan, Joan Hoff, Eleanor Fribley, and Alberta Peelle; Juniors, Jack Smith, Juanita Shimer, Ray Thomas, Oscar Noren, and Kothryn Mefford; Sophomores, June Kuhlman, Martha Close, Angeline Refner, Pierre Talbert, and Mary Ellen Olds; Freshmen, Jane Hines, Peggy Hachet, Donald Schaab, and Doris Fain. To attain this honor, pupils must put forth great effort and be willing to use their own initiative as well as follow the directions of the instructors. Since we have a varied curriculum, students are given the opportunity to choose the field of work which they like and to which they are adaptable. This enables them to make excellent marks in more than one general line of study. i Some of the honor students caught in the act Page 56 botlom row. Hall, R, Miller, J.

Those entering the discussion contest were: Roeine Gamran, Phyllis Loch- ner, Warren Clarke, Douglas Myers, Stephen Fitch, Frederick Hall, Verlin Lav rhead, and Howard Foust. Roeine Gorman won first place in the county contest and second place in the district contest. In the district algebra contest Jane Hines and Donald Schaab represented Auburn and Martha Close and Willis Engle were representatives in the geometry section. Perry Muhn and Maurice Wyatt were chosen as outstanding members of the art group. Eleanor Fribley represented Auburn in the district and the state Latin contests. Robert Kreamelmeyer was the radio speaker for the school broadcast over WOWO, giving a talk, entitled, The Advantages of Living in Auburn. He also was the Rotary Club orator. Donald Goings was awarded a scholarship to Purdue University for out- standing work in agriculture. Paul Whittington was entered in the live stock judging contest. Keith Miller and Charles Reeder represented the corn club, Hubert Moughler the potato club, and George Reeder, the onion club. The scholastic group has not only maintained the excellent record of Auburn High School but has set new and higher goals for the achievement of future classes. The local discussion contest Page 57 Make-up room; scene from the operetta OPERETTA The Gypsy Troubadour All ' s well that ends swell! spoke Tom and Marko as the final curtain came down on The Gypsy Troubadour. The operetta, which was presented April 18 and 19, 1935, was directed by Miss Clarice McKinney and Miss Gladys Duguid. Nikoli, son of Todora, returns from college anxious to become a poet and marry Clare Clayton. His father is disgusted, wishing his son to marry Rosita and rule his tribe. Vario plots to have Nikoli expelled from the band so he steals a necklace from Clare and blames Nikoli. Rosita is seen wearing the necklace and when Clare accuses her she takes the blame. Nikoli, believing Rosita is guilty, takes the blame upon himself and Todora expels him and Rosita. The plot is overheard by Tom, a friend of Nikoli, who reveals it to Marko, the fortune teller, and they plan to save Nikoli. Nikoli soon realizes Clare is a gold- digger and turns to Rosita. They decide to leave the camp together at midnight. Marko and Tom expose Vario and Todora banishes him. Nikoli is then glad to marry Rosita and rule the tribe. The business staff consisted of: Darrell Grosh, Marjorie Lawhead, Bob Crav- en, Roger Close, Gerald Lombard and Bob Nelson. Make-up was in charge of Miss Haynes.

These were snatches of conversation overheard on the evenings of November 14 and 15. They referred, of course, to Bachelor ' s Choice, the Junior-Senior play, directed by Miss Gladys Duguid. Mrs. Conway forces her daughter, Nancy, to practice continually for a radio contest. Alice, Nancy ' s sister, is engaged to Jim Bachelor. Uncle Henry Conway loses his job which ends his plan of marrying Barbara Dale. Aunt Jane Conway arrives the sam.e day that Lord Lovett comes in answer to Nancy ' s letter. However, Alice falls in love with him while Nancy consoles Jim. Then the night of the contest, Mrs. Chipley and Thelma, Nancy ' s singing rival, come to tell of an accident to Aunt Jane. Nancy overhears and refuses to sing until Jim persuades her to do so. The day after Nancy loses the contest Aunt Jane comes home and gives Henry a job so he and Barbara can rnarry. Then Alice elopes with the false Lord Lovett, a soda jerker, and Jim and Nancy become engaged. The curtain drops as Mrs. Conway decides to make Brother Joe Conway into a singer. The business staff consisted of Roger Close, Bob Craven, George Kingsbury, Ruby Shoudel, Bob Nelson, Gerald Lombard, and Kathryn Mefford. Miss Haynes had charge of the make-up.

Kirkpatrick, VanZile, Palmer ORCHESTRA The blare of trumpets and saxophones, the tinkle of a piano and the reedy sound of the woodwinds, combined to give sometimes harmonious and some- times sour notes — this is orchestra rehearsal. Practice was held the last period of the day each Monday and Friday. Any student who plays an instrument suitable for an orchestra and who has an open period at this time is eligible for the organization. This year with the combined efforts of Mr. Wilcox and Miss Moor, an or- chestra ensemble accompanied all the musical and dancing numbers of the school operetta. This is the first time that the entire score has been played by members of the organization and the results were very gratifying. The orchestra, in addition to playing for many other school functions dur- ing the year, provided music for the intermissions of the Jr.-Sr. play and the operetta. The group also entertained the Rotary Club. As Mr. Wilcox directs both the band and orchestra, he combined the two to make a clever combination for the Spring Concert, introducing many novel arrangements. Among these were a piano concerto, I Love to Tell the Story played by Ruth Shaffer and Jane Hines; Dark Eyes, a march paraphrase; a cornet duet, Argonauts played by Donald Palmer and Verlin Lawhead; and Silver Threads Amond the Gold, a saxophone duet by Robert Kreamelmeyer and Schuble Boggs. The orchestra about to sound its A Page 60 The band tooting away at 8:30 practice BAND Stand up! Why, is someone important coming? No, the band is playing our national anthem! Under the capable direction ol Mr. Pres Wilcox, the band has made won- derful progress this year. During school hours, practice was held on Monday and Friday mornings, and after school, each Monday evening at 7:30. One of the most appreciated functions of the band is its playing at the basketball games. Even more than last year, the band cooperated with the school yell leaders to introduce several new novelty yells which proved a big success at the games. These cheers are usually originated by Mr. Wilcox and Max Shook and have done much, along with the playing of the school song, to pep up the basketball fans. Since the high school band was organized by Mr. Wilcox six years ago, he has combined the students of both the grades and high school and there are now nearly 100 members in the organization. The band seems to improve with each new year and is now one of the fastest growing musical groups in the schools. The featured numbers of the Spring Concert in which the band played an important part, were: Chicago Tribune, and The Spirit of Victory, two marches; Light Cavalry from von Suppe; Maritana; and a baritone solo, Pomposa, played by Harold Palmer.

Under the direction of Miss Frances Moor, a new member of the faculty this year, the chorus practiced every Monday and Wednesday morning. The group, composed of Freshmen and Sophomores, had an average semester attendance of twenty-five. In general, the chorus studied phases of music different from those practiced in other years and great progress in the work was noted. The course em- braced fundamentals of musicianship which included notation, sight reading, and rhythmic drills. In addition, the stories of noted operas were reviewed and discussed. The group sang at several school and outside functions among which were a meeting of the Rotary Club and Parent-Teacher Association gatherings. Following are the girls ' favorite numbers: De Old Squeegee, Carmichael; Dutch Dolls, Osterlere, The Girl With the Curl, Fearis; Moonlight Song, Fearis; Bonnie Heather, Ellis; Dance of the Butterflies, Meyer-Helmund; Come to the Fair, Martin; Sweethearts, Herbert Riegger; Lullaby, Mozart; and Green Cathedral, Hahn. This chorus is a very important part of the school music department, giving experience and training to the Freshmen and Sophomore girls for further musical work in Glee Club and the operetta.

Craven BOYS ' CHORUS If the sounds of lusty male voices heard on Tuesday and Thursday morn- ings is traced to its source, one will find the boys ' chorus describing their Home on the Range or making some Shortnin ' Bread. The high school boys have had music organizations for several years but this year ' s group, directed by Miss Frances Moor, took an unusually active part in community life, singing at Parent-Teacher Association meetings, the Lions Club, Rotary Club and over radio station WOWO on the high school program. One of the developments of the chorus was the boys ' quartet, which was composed of Roger Close, first tenor, Dick Fink, second tenor. Bob Buchanan, first bass, and Pierre Talbert, second bass. These four sang at the Auburn Music Club, at the anniversary meeting of the Ladies Literary Club, an Eastern Star meeting and at several P.-T. A. functions. They also were a part of the March radio broadcast. This year for the first time, the boys worked on two, three, and four part songs some of which are Shortnin ' Bread, Home on the Range, Song of the Jolly Roger, Old King Cole, Once 1 Loved a Maiden Fair, and Down Among the Dead Men. Jane Hines was pianist for the group throughout the year and accompanied them at several outside functions. Boys ' chorus singing; pianist, Janes Hines Page 63 Jack Smith, pianist; Glee Club about to harmonize GLEE CLUB When the assembly bell rings at 4:05 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, there is a rush in the hall as the girls hurry to Glee Club. The Glee Club members, under the capable direction of Miss Moor, have been developed into a smoothly working group which has occomplished a great deal during the year. The club organized this year lor the first time and elected officers as follows: Eleanor Fribley, president; Maxme Hook, secretary-treasurer; and Peggy Kachet, music librarian. From the organization, a double octet composed of the following was chosen: Miriam Hersh, Marguerite Reed, Martha Close, Mary Ellen Hines, Betty Mavis, Dorothy McClmtock, Jean Carmer, Luella Tallen, Kathryn Mefford, Elizabeth Brown, Ruth Shaffer, Eleanor Fribley, Ruby Shoudel, Violet Balzer, Wilma Lige, and Irma Jean Baltz. These sixteen girls sang at the Auburn Music Club and on the high school broadcost from radio station WOWO, Fort Wayne. The girls ' favorite two and four part numbers are: Dark Eyes, By the Bend of the River, Moon Dream Shore, I Couldn ' t Hear Nobody Pray, ' a Negro spiritual; Sweethearts, Slumber Boat, and practice is usually concluded with the familiar song, Now the Day is Over. Jack Smith was piano accompanist for both the Glee Club and Double Octet. Bottom TOYf. Gramling, Mitchell, Sisson, Meiser, Miss Moor, Close, J.

A. entertainment room, the members expecting an enjoyable program and something to eat. Students interested in the club met in November and chose officers as fol- lows: Gilbert Shull, president; Oscar Noren, vice president; Naomi Garman, secretary-treasurer; Juanita Shimer, assistant; Jack Smith, pianist; Bob Craven, song leader; Maxine Hook, assistant; and Bob Buchanan, publicity. Tom Krise, Maxine Hook, Sally Thomas, Bob Krearnelmeyer, Roger Close and Eleanor Fribley were selected as committee chairmen. The club met the first and third Monday of each month at the Y. M. C. A. The program.s consisted of talks by the students and outside speakers, music, contests and games. Those eligible for the organization are Juniors and Seniors maintaining a grade of C or above in history or civics. This year ' s membership numbered sixty-eight. One of the outstanding achievements of the club this year was the purchase of a radio for the history room. Funds were raised by selling Christmas cards. At the History Club meeting Page 65 What, no one throwing rolls! BOYS ' HI-Y Boys ' Hi-Y To-nite, 6:30, Eats is one of the notices most often seen on the assembly board and the bulletin board. The weekly bean suppers, talks, and discussions have proved to be interesting and enjoyable meetings for the members. Following the motto Clean Sportsmanship, Clean Speech, Clean Athletics and Clean Scholarship, the club again successfully completed the school year. The Boys ' Hi-Y is sponsored by the Young Men ' s Christian Association and is under the leadership of Mr. Harry Kreider and Mr. Lloyd Miller. All high school boys except freshmen are eligible for the club. However, a boy must have a majority vote of the present members before he can be initiated into the organization. There were 40 members this year and meetings were held every Tuesday night in the Y. M. C. A. The boys heard numerous talks and discussions from various business and professional men of Auburn. Outside talent was introduced at many of the weekly meetings, which added to the interest and enthusiasm of the club. Two of the outstanding events were the Anderson Hi-Y Conference and a dis- trict meeting at Angola at which the progress of the clubs was discussed. The officers for the first semester were: Basil McDougall, president; Carl Stallman, vice president; Walter Stebmg, treasurer; and Sam Williams, secre- tary. The officers elected at the beginning of the second semester were: Walter Stebing, president; Franklin Gingrich, vice president; Roger Stebmg, treasurer; and Glenn Stebing, secretary.

At that time the twenty-three members of the organization, sponsored by Miss Marguerite Downing, home economics instructor, gather for their business meeting. Any girl who is interested in home economics work may join the group and when she becomes a member may wear the club pin, a blue motif in the club colors, silver and blue, bearing the initials of the organization and the year of membership. Otiicers chosen for the year were: Marguerite Reed, president; Betty Pop- pele, vice president; Vada Jean McNutt, secretary; Arietta Scott, treasurer; Elizabeth Meiser, news reporter; Charlotte Luttman, program chairman; and Miss Downing, sponsor.

Some of the outstanding activities of the year were a Christmas party at the home of C ' leta McDaniel, a Faculty tea given on Valentine ' s Day with comic valentine , as an interesting feature, a charity basket given at the holiday season and a Mothers ' tea. Finances for the club activities were raised by selling candy at the basket- ball games and in the hall after school, a bake sale and club dues. The mother and daughter banquet in the month of May ended the social and business activities for the year. Scenes from one of the Home Ec classes Page Bottom row: C. Stebing, R. Shull, Souder, D.

This year fifteen boys were initiated into the Future Farmers of America organization and forty-nine boys enrolled in vocational agriculture, making the class one of the largest in the state. Farm management, soils, and ani- mal husbandry were studied by the two classes. The F. F. A. met on the first and third Tuesday night of each month. The organization was guided through the year by: Donald Goings, president; John Graham, vice president; Hubert Moughler, treasurer; Paul Whittington, secretary; Donald Miller, reporter; and Mr. Hornaday, advisor. The agriculture class won many awards in both county and state compe- tition. Donald Goings won a 4-year Scholarship to Purdue University and also the Hoosier Farmer or state degree. Others who won awards were Paul Whittington, Joe Dewitt, Charles Reeder, Richard Miller, Don Miller, George Reeder, Hubert Moughler, Wayne Thomas, Ray Heffley and John Graham. As a class project considerable seed corn was tested for the farmers. Each member successfully completed one or more definite farm enter- prises during the year. An Ag class field trip Page 69 MANUAL TRAINING MANUAL TRAINING The manual training course, under the supervision of Mr. Cosper, is one of the most practical offered to the students.

BANKING CASHIERS Selected by the faculty last September, the banking cashiers must check the pupil ' s money into the pass books. Each Tuesday morning the cashiers do the banking for their class and then check the money into the office. They are very valuable for the thrift standing of the high school. Those in the picture are: Lawrence Wible, Forrest Dailey, Warren Clarke, Wilmer Freeman, Frederick Hall, Oscar Noren, Virgil Reed, June Batdorf, Kathryn Mefford, Doris Fain, Margaret Welch, Betty Poppele, Lucile Barley, June O ' Neal, Jeanne Collins, Alberta Peelle, Martha Kimmell, Juanita Shimer, Cleo Bran- don, Betty Kreider, Beulah Duke, Maxine Hook, and Keith Miller. BANKING CASHIERS Page 71 SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES The various activities of the high school have been outstanding this year. All organizations, staffs, and athletic teams have set enviable standards for future classes. Many of the students prominent m activities will graduate this year but there is much talent in the other three classes to carry on. In the Junior class, Ray Thomas and Stephen Fitch will head the annual staff. Howard Foust, Warren Clarke, Douglas Myers, and Phyllis Lochner are tine prospects for discussion competition. Luella Tallen, Violet Balzer, Ruby Shoudel, Kathryn Mefford, Wayne Cripe, Stephen Fitch, and others will take roles in the school ' s dramatic productions. In music, Luella Tallen, Kathryn Mefford, Violet Balzer, Ruby Shoudel, and others will continue their work. Jack Smith remains to accompany various musical groups. The class will form an important part of the athletic teams with Carl Stallman, Gervase Hess, Hu- bert Hines, Franklin Gingrich, Maurice Frownfelter, Ralph Ringler, Dick Pop- pele, Wayne Cripe, and others to continue. Jack Smith, Oscar Noren, Juanita Shimer, Kathryn Mefford and Ray Thomas are Honor Group students. The Sophomore class offers many students to participate in activities. Roeine Gorman will compete in the discussion contests. Iris Pendland, Pierre Talbert, Howard Craven, Mary Ellen Hines, Rex Renz and Paul Ritts v ill take roles in the play and operetta. Martha Close, Jean Carmer, Elizabeth Brown, Mary Ellen Hines, Betty Mavis, Ruth Shaffer, and others will continue in music work. The class also has its share of athletes, Pierre Talbert, Leonard Hess, Bob Charleswood, Lawrence Wible, Ray Scott, Perry Muhn, Rex Renz, Willis Engle, Howard Craven, Bob Brown and Russell Sisson being a few of them. Sopho- mores in the Honor Group are June Kuhlman, Martha Close, Angeline Refner, Pierre Talbert and Mary Ellen Olds. The Freshmen have already shown that they expect to really do things in their high school careers. In discussion Frederick Hall and Verlin Lawhead will be valuable. Jane Hines and Donald Schaab competed in the algebra contest this year and look promising for next year ' s geometry competition. There is plenty of athletic material in this class. Stanley Hines, Carlton Bran- don, Earl Carr, Jack Phelps, Neil McDarby, and Don Reynolds are coming up fast and will be future team members. Freshmen in the Honor Group, who will uphold the school ' s scholastic honors, are Peggy Hachet, Donald Schaab, Jane Hines and Doris Fain. With all these talented students Auburn High School is certain to continue its excellent showing in various extra-curricular activities. Annual staff at work Page 72 ATHLETICS Athletics, perhaps more than any other activity, create an idea of stream- lining, for speed, power, and fast think- ing are essential to every athlete. Au- burn teams possess a great deal of these qualities and are very successful in the three major sports — football, basketball, and track. Each year the Red Devil squads progress in athletic competition with other schools and make enviable records. We present what might be called our super-charged, streamline sec- tion. Athletics. Page 73 COACH YOUNG For twelve years, Zeke has been with us and has turned out successful athletic squads in all three major sports each year. His ability in this line cannot be over-estimated and he deserves great credit for his fine work. Zeke has many friends here and in other towns and is a pal to all the boys with whom he works. From the bottom of our hearts we wish you the best of luck, Zeke! ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Auburn High Scho ol Athletic Association is composed of members of the three sport squads and all students buying season basketball tickets. The association has charge of all athletic affairs of the high school and is supervised by Mr. Fribley, the principal, and is headed by officers elected by the student body. This year the organization chose Tom Mason, presi- dent; Joan Swartz, secretary; and Mr. Schooley, faculty treasurer. These leaders put their best efforts into the position they held and the year ' s activity was successfully completed. The Girls ' Athletic Association also plays an important part in the sports activity of the school. This organization, which is advised by Miss Leota Haynes, girls ' physical educational instructor, sponsors many sports in which the girls hove taken an active part. Dorothy McClmtock was elected presi- dent of the G. A. A. Mr. Schooley 1 Page 74 D. Myers Berg Close Rodecap CAPTAINS, MANAGERS AND YELL LEADERS This year two captains were chosen for the football eleven. Jess Myers, fullback, was elected captain of the backfield, and Dave Rodecap, who played either center or guard, was named line captain. These two did great work in pulling plays and pepping up the boys at the right intervals. Tom Mason was elected basketball captain by his teammates this year and well deserved the honor, for when the going was tough, he was al- ways cool and ready to reason things out. Last year ' s track squad picked Jess Myers as its captain. Jess was the mainstay of many meets as a consistent point-getter and won the shot put championship at the state track and field meet. As manager of the track team Bob Berg faithfully did his work. Busy from four until six o ' clock, he proved a great help to the squad. Roger Close was elected manager of the football eleven and did a fine job of looking after shoulder pads, jerseys, and things in general. Everett Mavis carefully handed out towels and pumped up balls during his job as basketball manager. He also gave the students valuable dope on the games and about the team in his Monday morning assembly talks. Max Shook has been our mascot for two years and has been faithful to all the squads. He is always on the field or floor at the right moment to give pep to the players and to the crowd. Marjorie Holben and Joan Swartz aided him in leading the cheering section this year. D. Myers 1 ( , WliT Page 75 W. Stebmg D Myers FOOTBALL About 60 boys turned out for football practice at the beginning of school and prospects for a winning team looked very good. After two weeks of practice, Zeke picked out the best of these candidates and took them to Decatur for the first gridiron battle of the year. However, the season got off to a bad start when the boys came home on the short end of a 13-6 score. After practice in line-driving, kicking and passing and with several changes in the line-up, Auburn v ent to Columbia City to show the Eagles and their fol- lowers that the week had made a great improvement. The line and back- field worked together to collect five touchdowns and an extra point to make the final count 31-8. The first night game of the season was played at Fort Wayne under the floodlights of the North Side field. Due to a heavy rain throughout most of the contest and the size of their opponents the Red Devils went down fight- ing, 19-7. The Auburn team then went to Ohio, this time meeting South High of Lima. Maybe it was the night air that put such pep into the squad for they returned victorious, 12-7. A long forward pass, from Williams to Rodecap, put the ball on the four yard line and Myers then scored in the last 45 seconds of play. In the first home game, the Bluffton eleven came to Williams field and showed plenty of power and fight to hand Auburn its third defeat, with a 12-6 count. Edon next came to town and the Red Devils showed their superiority by trouncing the Ohio boys 25-0. Many of the reserves saw action in the final quarter of this game. Craven Burns H. Hines Frownfelter Stallman G. Hess Poppele Page 76 R. Sco tt Charleswood FOOTBALL After a week of practice in the mud and rain the Red Devils encountered a new opponent, Huntington, but the final score showed a 19-6 defeat for the local eleven. The most important game of the year, that with Auburn ' s old rivals, the Garrett Railroaders, was next on the schedule. In this battle the Red Devils hit their peak, playing one of the best games of the season to make three touchdowns and an extra point while holding Garrett scoreless. The final count was 19-0. This contest brought the season to an end with a half and half record, four games won and four lost, for the Auburn team. At the end of the season the following received letters for their efforts; Leonard Hess, Gervase Hess, Dick Poppele, Dave Rodecap, Jess Myers, Hubert Hines, Stanley Hines, Lawrence Wible, Pierre Talbert, Sam Williams, Walter Stebing, Chris Burns, John Graham, Carl Stallman, Gilbert ShuU, Don Myers, Everett Mavis, Bob Craven, Maurice Frownfelter, Bob Charleswood, and Don Miller. Silver footballs, awarded to those most valuable to the team, were given to: Gervase Hess, Dick Poppele, Gilbert Shull, Stanley Hines, Pierre Talbert, Don Myers, Carl Stallman, Everett Mavis, Sam Williams, and John Graham. Members of the squad who were awarded footballs in previous years are: Walter Stebing, Dave Rodecap, Jess Myers, Chris Burns, and Hubert Hines. Although many of the first string players are lost by graduation this year, ten lettermen and many other members of the squad remain to take their places. Auburn 19, Garrett Page 77 BASKETBALL TOM MASON, ' Tommy, Forward Tom was undoubtedly the fastest cutting man on the team and this accounts for his great number of points. His foul shooting was something to marvel at, both for quality and quantity. GEORGE REEDER, George, Guard Being the smallest man on the team did not hin- der George from doing his share of the scoring. He was 5 ft. 7 in. tall, and 145 pounds of dynamite on the defensive. DAVID RODECAP, Davy, Forward Due to his spectacular and accurate one-handed shots, Davy tied for first place in conference scoring this season. His tight defense broke up many plays and kept the score low. WALTER STEBING, Walt, Guard Walt was probably the hardest driving man on the team. He was very tough on defensive play and often dropped in a basket when it was most needed. mc RUSSELL WILLIAMS, Sammy, Center Although not exceptionally tall, Sammy consist- ently outjumped opposing centers this year. He was voted the most valuable player on the team by the Hickory Club end he well deserved this honor. Page 78 BASKETBALL WAYNE CRIPE, Wayne, Forward A Junior this year, Wayne shows a promising basket eye and should hit often next season. When a play looked like a sure score he was often there to break it up. JOE DEWITT, Joe, Forward Joe is famous for his accurate shooting at the right time. His basket from the center of the floor in the North Side game was the most spectacular of the year. WOODROW FERGUSON, Joe, Guard This was Joe ' s first and last year on the squad, but during the time he was seen on the hardwood he did great work, both on the offense and defense. HUBERT MINES, Huby, Guard Huby has a shot that will come in mighty handy for the Red Devils next season. He can also be de- pended upon to take care of his man in defensive play. JAMES McAVENE, Red, Forward Red hailed from Connersville and showed plenty of spirit in the game. His one-handed shot swished the net often and a fast break was his specialty. Page 79 During the Hartford City game BASKETBALL About 40 boys were on hand to answer Coach Young ' s call for hardwood men this season. This number was finally cut down to a first and second team squad. After two weeks of hard drilling the varsity traveled to Ashley, which had played four games and had the edge on experience. When the gun cracked Auburn was leading by a single point, 22-21. In another week it looked as if the Auburn five was really going places as they overwhelmed Albion 52-19. The second home game pro ved to be a battle and the boys were forced to put on a whirlwind finish to down the Butler squad, 22-15. After a close fight all the way with a highly-rated Ligonier team the gun sounded with the score tied. Only after the overtime period were the Ligonier followers able to return home victorious, 31-29. With the defeat of the preceding night in mind the Red Devils traveled to South Bend to show they could play two hard games in a row by piling up 30 pomts to Riley ' s 22. The Kendallville Comets were the next victims of the local squad when a rally in the last minute of play brought the score to 25-20. The following week-end Auburn ' s first conference tilt proved to be very disastrous. Only the sound of the gun stopped the sniping of the South Side Archers with the score at 44-25. On New Year ' s Eve, Bryan, Ohio, players planned to avenge their foot- ball defeat at Auburn ' s hands but changed their minds when they came out on the short end of a 36-21 score. The following week Central, which was to be state runner-up, came to Auburn to show the fans how it was done, rolling up a 51-37 total to win easily. Decatur ' s small floor and low ceiling helped spell defeat for Auburn the next week-end with a score of 47-34, but things looked brighter when New Haven was beaten 26-24. Pop session before the Garrett tilt Page Noon league, where players often get their start BASKETBALL The Kendallville Comets came to tov n for revenge but were disappointed when the locals won 31-24. Then Gr-r-r-r, Auburn and Garrett! The Red Devils proved too much for the Railroaders and trounced them 30-20 in a hard fought contest. We want the keg! And Auburn should have had it after defeating the Angola Hornets 48-30. The North Siders next invaded the local gym and were surprised when Joe Dewitt scored from the center line as the gun cracked, to tie up the game. In a triple overtime Auburn finally downed the Fort Wayne aggregation 49-48. The team made it six successive victories by bowling over LaGrange 29-24 and another win was collected at the expense of Bluffton on the home floor with a count of 31-26. The squad then traveled to Columbia City and made it eight straight vic- tories, topping the Eagles 25-24, In the final game of the season Auburn was outclassed by a strong Hart- ford City team and was given the short end of a 39-35 score. In this tilt Rodecap scored 15 points to tie Stam.m of Columbia City for conference scoring honors. TOURNAMENTS Auburn won its first game in the sectional tourney held at Garrett, de- feating Salem Center 47-21. They next eliminated Spencerville with a 27-23 score and went on to again win over their Garrett rivals 31-23 in one of the best games of the tourney. In the sectional finals Auburn won the right to play in the regional by overcoming the Angola Hornets 32-30. In the regional tourney held at Auburn, the Red Devils were upset by the accurate sniping of Columbia City with a score of 48-37. Warsaw came through to represent the district in the super-regional at Muncie. At Muncie, Central of Fort Wayne overcame all competition and went to the state where Frankfort defeated them to win the state title. At the Garrett tourney Page 81 Standing: McAvene, H. Mines, Talberf, Engle, L- Hes Sealed: Scott, Wible, Mr. Coor, Sisson, Gingrich Renz, Cripe, H- Craven, Brown SECOND TEAM Aiter two weeks of practice, Mr. Coar and Mr. Young picked the second team. The first game of the season was played on the Ashley floor and the boys came home with a victory, 22-16. The locals trounced Albion 25-21 on the home court and the following night the Butler outfit was surprised with a 39-15 score. Riley proved too much for the team at South Bend and it meant the first defeat of the season, 27-21. The Red Devils journeyed to Kendallville and re- turned victorious, 24-14, but the South Side Archers showed their superiority by upsetting Auburn, 18-14. Bryan invited the seconds to its state on New Year ' s Eve and the boys piled up a 23-13 score to win. The following week-end Auburn experienced its worst defeat of the year when Central was the victor, 61-26. Then the Coar aggregation came back to defeat the Decatur five 27-25. The next week revenge was in the eyes of the Kendallville Comets but again Auburn topped them, 30-24. The hardwood game with New Haven ' s scrappy team proved to be the thriller, but the Red Devils were victorious 27-25. The grudge game with Garrett came next and the Auburn five proved too much for the Railroaders, 25-17. The following week, however, they lost to Angola 27-26. North Side downed the Red Devils 25-22 on the Auburn floor. After post- ponement of a week the home squad traveled to LaGrange to pile up a 33-19 score and then upset the Bluffton representatives 25-19. Soon the boys were talking of a 30-19 defeat by Columbia City. It was hard luck for Auburn to lose the last game of the season but the Hartford City team was tough as shown by a 21-16 score. This tilt ended the season with a total of 12 victories and 7 losses.

Miller, W Miller, P Myers, ShuU NOON LEAGUE AND INTERCLASS BASKETBALL From twelve-twenty until one o ' clock many of the students assembled in the gymnasium to watch the interclass teams and noon leaguers play basket- ball. This activity, supervised by Mr. Gumpp this year, proved very interesting and attracted much attention from the various team supporters. Noon league gives all boys in the high school an opportunity to play basket- ball even though they are not on the regular squad. It also provides amuse- ment for the students during the period between the lunch hour and class time. The class teams competed on the first two days of each week, while the noon leaguers played on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. There was great rivalry among the four class teams competing in interclass basketball and the championship was in doubt until the last games of the season. The class competition was won this year by the Senior team while the Juniors placed second and the Sophom.ores took third place. At each of these games a large number of students from each class came to the gymnasium to cheer for their team. Ten boys were picked to act as league captains this year and these ten in turn chose their teams. The captains were: Jess Myers, Gilbert Shull, Tom Krise, Roger Stebing, Franklin Capen, Everett Mavis, Bob Craven, Bill Miller, Max Shook and George Kingsbury. At the end of the regular noon league com.petition three teams, those cap- tained by Jess Myers, Max Shook, and George Kingsbury, were tied for the championship. In the play-off Myers ' team was the winner and became champion for the year. The tournament, played after the regular season, was also won by the Myers five which defeated Miller ' s team in the finals. LEAGUE WINNER Bottom rov. ' : A. Mavis, E.

After several weeks of practice the boys who were fortunate enough to make the squad began the season by meeting North Side of Fort Wayne and Huntington in a triangular meet at the Fort Wayne field. Auburn placed second in this event, collecting 25 points while North Side aggregated 71 and Huntington 20. The next meet, with Kendallville, was held on the Garrett field. Auburn showed its superiority in the meet by winning in all events except the half mile relay, the pole vault and the broad jump. The following week the Auburn thinly-clods traveled northward to Howe where they met Howe Military Academy in a dual meet. Auburn was the victor in this event, winning first place in all but five events. In the next event, at Bryan, Ohio, Auburn collected 64 points while their opponents ' total was 51. Jess Myers set a new shot put record for the Bryan field by shooting the sphere 47 feet 6 inches. After a week of hard drilling, Auburn went to Fort Wayne to enter the sectional meet at the South Side stadium. Meeting some stiff competition from several highly-rated teams, the home squad collected 13 points, win- ning third place. Jess Myers placed first in the shot put and broad jump and Sam Williams won first in the pole vault, to qualify for the state meet scheduled May 15 at Indianapolis. On May 1 1 the conference competition was held at North Side of Fort Wayne. Auburn received 13 points for fourth place in the standing, Myers being first in the 100 yard dash and shot put and Williams tieing for first with tw-o other men in the pole vault, at 10 feet 9 inches. Merchanthouse Graham V . Stebing Hardy Stump u .u, a Page TRACK After a week of intensive practice Zeke took the two sectional winners to the state. At Indianapolis, Myers took first place in the shot put by heaving the shot 49 feet 7 inches. Williams placed sixth in the pole vault, clearing the bar at 1 1 feet 6 inches. Myers holds both state indoor and outdoor shot put championships for the year 1935. At the close of the season the following received the Winged A for their season ' s work: Jess Myers, Sam Williams, Chris Burns, Joe Lumm, Walter Stebing, Harold Stump, Don Merchanthouse, Tom Mason, Mahlon Rieke, Rob- ert Knox, John Graham, Robert Craven, Eldon Hardy, Lee Anderson, Robert Sprague, and Everett Mavis.

They are the proud possessions of the members of the Girls ' Athletic Association. The purpose of this organization, which is state-wide, is to stimulate in- terest in girls ' health and physical activities and to promote ideals in these two important considerations. Miss Leota Haynes, physical education teacher, is the sponsor of the association. The G. A. A., as it is comonly known, was organized here in 1934, and it has now grown to an im.portant organization of the school. During the year the following officers served: Dorothy McClintock, president; Ann Zimmerman, vice president; Phyllis Lochner, treasurer; Elizabeth Brown, secretary; and Geneva Rinehold, sport head. Four major basketball teams, one for each class, were chosen this year and games for the championship were played after school in the gymnasium. The Sophomore team won the championship. Some of the other sports in which the girls of the organization take part are baseball, volley ball, tennis, track, soccer, golf, shuffleboard, handball, deck tennis, and pingpong. Among traditions of the association to which the members anxiously look forward is the annual banquet. Here, many of the activities of the year reach their culmination. New officers are installed for the coming year, awards are presented and honors won during the year are awarded. MEMBERS Jii8 ««; Page I CHAMPION TEAM Standing White, Brown, M Hmes, Garman, Refner Bottom row; Carmer, Pendland, Close GIRLS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION These include the crowning of the G. A. A. May Queen and her maids of honor whom the members elected, and the presentation of awards to the girls winning the Sportsmanship plaque and the Outstanding Athlete plaque. These three awards comprise the biggest honors given by G. A. A. to individual members. Vivian Davidson, 1935, was the first winner of the Sportsmanship plaque. The girls of the association have shown fine spirit and cooperation in their efforts to gain these honors. Another activity arousing much enthusiasm was the State Play Day. Members of G. A. A. throughout Indiana came together to get acquainted through the medium of play and gam e competition. Some twenty members of the Auburn G. A. A. journeyed to Muncie for this much anticipated event. The members of the G. A. A. as they appear in the picture are: Lucile Barley, Ann Zimmerman, Louise Shook, Gladys Mitchell, Jane Hines, Eleanor Hawver, Martha Close, Iris Pendland, Carrie Reeder, Betty Myers, Naomi Kalb, Irma Collins, Jean Trader, Margaret Snepp, Roeine Garman, Mary Ellen Hines, Jean Carmer, Phillis Lochner, Geneva Rinehold, Mattie Sisson, Betty Mavis, Elizabeth Brown, Luella Tallen, Miss Haynes, sponsor, Beulah Duke, Betty Cupp, Margaret Wappes, Cieta McDaniel, Maxine Schock, Dorothy McClintock, Lorene Mendenhall, Alfa Martin, V illadene Kimmell, Maxine Mason, Grace Phelps, and Mable Surfus. SOCCER TEAMS Page 87 SUMMARY OF ATHLETICS Auburn has made an excellent showing in track competition last year and football and basketball games this season. The records are: track, three first places, a second and two thirds; football, four won and four lost; basketball, fourteen won and five lost. Two members of the track squad, Jess Myers and Sam Williams, qualified for the state track and field meet last year. Myers holds the record for the shot put in both the indoor and outdoor meets. The football eleven showed plenty of spirit and fight during the gridiron season and defeated several outstanding teams including South High of Lima, Ohio. The basketball team, after a successful season, won the sectional tourna- ment, gaining the right to enter the regional elimination. Although a large number of team members are graduating this year there are others ready to take their places. Carl Stallman, Gervase Hess, Hubert Hines, Maurice Frownfelter, Dick Poppele, Wayne Cripe, Pierre Talbert, Leonard Hess, Bob Charleswood, Lawrence Wible, and Stanley Hines are lettermen who will continue next year. In addition many Sophomores and Freshmen show promising ability and with practice will be good athletes. There will be several games with strong team.s during the football season. North Side and Central of Fort Wayne, Columbia City, and Garrett should prove worthy foes. Central Catholic of Fort Wayne has been added to the basketball schedule. Games with the other Fort Wayne teams, Columbia Ctiy, Ligonier and Hart- ford City are also planned. The 1937 track schedule remains essentially the same, and there should be plenty of competition for the thinly-clads.

These public enemies entered the Auburn First State Bank which has a capital of $55,000,000,000.- 34 at approximately 4:30 P. S- (CDT) and left in due time with the enormous sum of $2,423 4 and two blank checks. They left a powerful, black 9 cylmder Austin sedan at the curb with the motor running and nuts and bolts drop- ping from the engine from time to time. These three killers, iden- tified as Slug Mavis, Dirty Neck Craven and Pretty Boy Cougill, well known members of the underworld, terrorized the cashier and bank attend- ants by pointing loaded water pistols at them, and as all persons in the bank did not know how to swim, they made no utterance for fear of losing their lives by drowning. Upon leaving, Pretty Boy shot his pistol at an elderly gentleman and only the prompt practice of Schaf- fer ' s Artificial Resuscita- tion by Louie Save ' Em Alive McDougall kept him from death at the hands of the heinous mur- derers. 1 f- These photos sent by radiograph from. Auburn Junction show the killers leaving the bank and the capture of Cougill and Craven. The officers of the law immediately set the cogs of organized protection in motion and as is seen in the second photo captured Dirty Neck and Pretty Boy, but Slug escaped with blood dripping from his finger where he was stuck with a sliver while leaning on the counter. It is thought that Mavis may have gone to the un- derworld hide-out of his gun molls, Jo (Baby Doll) SwartzandMarjorie (Toot- sie) Holben. GAMBLING DEN RAIDED Late Saturday evening, Lloyd Miller, oftimes known as the ' Watchdog of Pub- lic Safety, headed a vol- unteer posse of civic mind- ed students drawn from his classes to rid the city of that obnoxious den of iniquity known as THE BACK ROOM. Shoulder- ing his way through a crowd of chronic loafers. The Watchdog marched with firm step to the rear where the evil machines held the attention of a group of lost souls, among whom were Tom (In the Drink) Krise, Gilbert (Out Hole) Shull, Bob (Jack- Pot) Nelson and Roger (Stethoscope Ear) Close, the latter with a duffle bag full of nickels at his elbow. The click of the lift and the whirr of the spitter struck on The Watchdog ' s ear like the mutterings of Sa- tan himself, chuckling over the many new additions to his ranks. Disregarding the objections of the dis- gruntled onlookers, the public spirited one with the aid of his followers quickly picked up the ma- chines, rushed out of the place, and without com- ment put the wicked Devil- boxes in a hearse. With his followers riding on top waving flaming torches and singing Tiger Rag, The Watchdog led a tri- umphant procession to Ce- dar Creek wherein he dumped not only the in- fernal machines, but also the hearse, after careful- ly removing the nickels to pay for the expenses of the expedition. Page THE SCREAMLINE CORN FED CHORUS REPORTED PRACTICING Bevy of Beauty and Spring Dance to be Features of Production It is reported that Miss Leota (Jackie) Haynes has her bevy of beautiful chor- ines practicing night and day (and in between times) in order to have them in perfect form by the time that great Amer- ican classic, The Golden Trail, is ready for the legitimate stage. In the picture the chor- ines can be seen rehears- ing a new routine devised by Miss Haynes, who is well known for her origin- al ideas, accompanied by beautiful and cultured mu- sic on the piano. (That is, those chorines who are not interested in the photog- rapher are practicing). Bob Buchanan, master helmsman and guiding star of that excellent book The Follies, published every year by the Senior class of Auburn High School, can be seen look- ing the girls over and of- fering a few helpful sug- gestions. It is well known that Bob ' s taste and knowl- edge in such matters is unparalleled now that the Great Ziegfeld has passed on. The chormes are said to be on a strict diet of bacon and corn fritters prescribed by Miss Haynes as her own pergonal menu for keeping a sylph like fig- ure. She is also an advo- cate of the open air as can be seen from the picture. To interpret a special and extremely graceful May dance, that great danseuse and idol of the | legitimate stage, Everett Mavis has consented to give his version of this classic aesthetic dance, assisted by George Kings- bury, the heart throb of millions of movie goers. They have graciously con- sented to pose for our snooping photographer and it can be seen that the dance will be a work of art.

Try us and be the Ladies ' Choice  i ' ' ■pi ECONOMICS NOT A CRAZY SUBJECT Frank (Blackboard Art- ist) Weathers hastened to assure his classes yester- day that, in spite of the opinion prevailing among those in the course, it was not a crazy subject. To substantiate his unusual view, he cited the fact that assets are liabilities, if one fudged a point. The Follies editor sent a reporter to cover a class and a scribble by scribble description follows: Frank Weathers stands before his class, a master- ful figure, his personality manifesting itself in every stern line of his counte- nance. He draws a graph to illustrate a demand curve. He rubs it out with his hand and from there to his suit, producing a beau- tiful gauzy effect. The fin- ished product looks more like a modernistic drawing by a Russian artist. He senses that the effect is not good, so drops the chalk and while picking it up knocks a book off the desk, producing a master finish. THE THREE STOOGES The Three Stooges, Zeke (Curly) Young, Everett (Bathtub) Mavis and Big Bob Craven are reported whipping another cham- pionship basketball team into shape. These three have a nation-wide repu- tation as hardy mentors of the hardwood. It is admitted by those m the know that without these three undoubtedly great men to guide it, the Auburn Red Devils basket- ball squad would not have turned into the champion- ship material it was.

A neviT and startling book HOW TO MIX YOUR DATES by Alberta Peelle and Roger Close CONTEST BETWEEN MATH TEACHERS Decision to be Rendered by Seniors Here we see these two master minds and mathe- matical geniuses of Au- burn High, Mr. Robert (Doughboy) Schooley and Mr. Don (Whiz) Coar. The boys seem to be on the best of terms in spite of the fact that they are rivals during school hours in trying to see which can turn out the best math class. It is a matter for conjec- ture which has the best system and although both claim honors it will be left to a body of judges com- posed of intelligent Sen- iors, (if any can be found) to determine which is the better. It is hoped that no hard feelings will result from the decision as both these mathematicians are hot tempered and threaten a duel with x ' s. Those two august and revered men. Chuck (Speed) Cougill and John (F. F. A.) Graham, are members of the judging body, and as can be seen they are undoubtedly thinking hard on the mat- ter and trying to decide which of the mental gen- iuses should be the win- ner. Both claim that they suf- fered much at the hands of Schooley and Coar, and seem to have formed an opinion in their own minds, which is unprintable here. However, whichever one wins, it is admitted by the school body as a whole that they are both sguare shooters and excel- lent targets for paper- wads.

Shorty is well known in the vicious circles of the underworld and proved extremely dangerous when captured by the heroic Mock. The government has Kessler listed as Pub- lic Enemy No. 4,567 and since public enemies are fast becoming extinct this puts him near the top of the list. Reports of Shorty ' s activ- ities and whereabouts had been given for several days by Perry (G-Man) Muhn. At the time of the capture Muhn was hot on the trail. In fact, he had followed Kessler from one metropolis to another throughout the middle west, but always missed him by a wide margin un- til he came to Auburn. Here he found the spoor was hot and the coffee good. He had all but caught Shorty when the criminal dashed out the door of the high school. As can be seen in the news- flash picture, Kessler gave himself away by reaching for his gat with his left hand, a distinctive trait of this malefactor. Skinny immediately sensed his danger and showing a wild burst of speed he pounced upon Kessler and was shot in the toe in the ensuing struggle. Finally Kessler was downed and Mock sat on him until Muhn ar- rived from the doorway. As a reward for his ef- forts Mock will not have to attend math class for the next three days.
