In the past few months, many amateurs have been given an opportunity for success and happiness through such programs. Many communities have had their own amateur con- tests, showing, in many cases, unexpected talent. Every school activity is truly an amateur conntest, sponsored by the public, arranged by the school board, and judged by the faculty, for the purpose of giving each student an opportunity to show his accomplishments. Therefore we present an annual, the pervading thought of which is the amateur and his school relations. Page 5 (OK Lights Burn Late at Auburn High School. Page The Big Gym — Center of Winter Sports. Page 7 AMATEURS BEFORE CLASS Page ADMINISTRATION AND CLASSES In the thirty-six weeks of school, amateur contests are held every day, the faculty acting as judges. The smoothness with which the station managers, the school board, carry out these programs makes each con- test a pleasure. Page 9 H L McKenney O. Snepp Carlson S. SCHOOL BOARD The School Board of the Auburn Schools is well fitted in every way for the guidance and administration of school affairs. Mr. B. O. Snepp, president of the board, is experienced in financial and executive matters, having been an executive at the Auburn Automobile Com- pany for several years. Dr. A. V. Hines, a graduate of Auburn High School, acts as treasurer of this group. He is a well known physician and surgeon, thus being able to advise in matters concerning health. Mr. Roy W. Carlson serves as secretary. Because of his experience at the Auburn Rubber Company he too is well fitted for his post. As executive officer, the school board members, appointed by the city council, choose the superintendent of schools. In this capacity, Mr. H. L. McKenney offers great assistance from the educational standpoint. The schools of Auburn, the budget, and other functions must be carried out by these men in accordance with state laws. This group has done ex- cellent work in this field. They have expanded the curriculum to meet new state laws, and have increased the number of teachers because of this broadened curriculum. Not only do these men aid the school in this official duty, but all of them are known and respected for their loyalty to and interest in any school ac- tivity, whether it be in the field of sports, dramatics, or music.

Mr. Fribley re- signed as Principal, and at Christmas was replaced by Mr. Miller. Mr. Brook- over was selected to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Miller ' s promotion. Miss Kudgel took the place of Miss Downing, who also resigned. One new teacher, Mr. McMurtrey, was added to the English personnel due to steadily increas- ing classes. A new subject was added to the regular curriculum this year — Safety. Increasing automobile deaths and injuries have caused this step to be taken in an attempt to lessen these accidents. Mr. Young and Miss Haynes have had charge of this work, and have used both the book and lecture method of instruction, and have supplemented this with motion pictures.

On Monday morning guidance in social and school procedures is given in the home room. Students who have been absent, tardy, or who have violated some rule the preceding day are sent to the office in the morning to show the cause of the violation. Since the home room plan has been adopted, students look forward to Thursdays when a convocation is called. To save time in issuing make-up and no-make-up slips for absences, be- cause students forgot their excuses, the plan was adopted that if a student did not present the excuse on the morning he returned to school, a no-make-up slip was issued.

The Freshmen are supervised by Mr. Fribley until they have chosen their officers. For their first year they chose Herbert Noren, president; Richard Thomas, vice-president; Eleanore Mitchell, treasurer; and Marlin Yoder, sec- retary. For faculty advisor they chose Mr. McMurtrey, a new faculty mem- of Auburn High School. The Sophomores selected Marvin Hanson, president; Adrian Mavis, vice- president; Peggy Hachet, treasurer; and Virginia Smith, secretary. Miss Dawson was again made faculty advisor. The Juniors elected Rex Renz, president; Lawrence Wible, vice-president; Pierre Talbert, treasurer; Betty Kreider, secretary; and Mr. Gumpp, faculty advisor. For their last year in high school the Seniors chose Oscar Noren, president; Douglas Myers, vice-president; Doris Freeman, treasurer; Juanita Shimer, secretary; and Mr. Coar, faculty advisor. Student activities have been administered admirably during the year by these student-executive groups. Talking it over Page 28 Top row: Claude Brandon, E. Beaty, W. Freeman, G. Cool, H.

This class might well be called the athletic class, as it has given more than its share: Howard Craven, Leonard Hess, Paul Rugman, Pierre Talbert, Law- rence Wible, Rex Renz, and Raymond Scott. Thelma Cosper, June Kuhlman, Martha Close, and Wilmer Freeman have been on the Honor Group consistently. In music the Juniors are also active. They have played in the Operettas, and have taken part in Glee Club, Girls ' Chorus, and Boys ' Chorus. The Juniors, by hard work and careful planning, put on a very successful and original Junior Carnival. The responsibility of the Junior-Senior banquet rests on this class.

In athletics, Stanley Hines, Earl Carr, Carlton Brandon, Donald Reynolds, and Neil McDarby have represented the class. Janes Hines, Virginia Smith, Peggy Hachet, and Donald Schaab have been on the honor roll throughout the year. Jane Hines has been pianist for the Orchestra and Boys ' Chorus and the class is well represented in Glee Club, Boys ' Chorus, and Girls ' Chorus.

They are probably the most active group in high school. Nothing is too hard for them; nothing is impossible. This class was active even when they entered high school last year, al- ways attempting to lead in every field, and usually placing very near the top. Thoroughly experienced after one year of training, these Sophomores still have two more years of high school, during which, due to their pep and originality, Auburn High School may be expected to hum.

They have been very quick to learn the ways of high school, and have already contributed to its activities. High hopes are held for future basketball victories, if the Freshmen — Bernard Roth, Marlin Yoder, Robert Trader, Eugene Rinehold, Richard Craven, Charles Groscup, Robert Hersh, Paul Walter, and John Tarter — continue in their present stride.

Mr. McMurtrey ' s Fresh- man English class tssb Page 33 Familiar sights at the Junior-Senior Banquet SUMMARY OF ADMINISTRATION AND CLASSES Several changes in faculty personnel have brought new faces to Auburn High School. The first social activity of the year was the annual P.-T. A. potluck held in the Alumni Gymnasium. Each class put on a stunt as part of the entertain- ment. At the Freshman Reception, Oscar Noren, Senior president, welcomed his brother, Herbert Noren, Freshman president. The Seniors planned the enter- tainment, the Juniors served refreshments, and the Sophomores decorated the little Gym. The Junior Carnival was a great success, increasing the bank account of the class by eighty dollars. This Carnival is a means used to raise money for the Jr.-Sr. Banquet. A farewell convocation was held in honor of Mr. Fribley, at which time he was presented with a watch by the classes and organizations of Auburn High School. On May 23, the Seniors attended Baccalaureate services at the Methodist church, Rev. Fisher delivering the sermon. The Seniors were the guests at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet at Pota- watomi Inn on Lake James. A program, dancing and bridge were the fea- tures of the evening. At the Commencement exercises held in the gymnasium May 26, the Seniors were presented with their diplomas. The class activities of the year ended with the picnic at Circle Park on Hamilton Lake. As Mr. Fribley resigned £ Page 34 SCHOOL LIFE Every day of school, from the first day to the last, brings a succession of contests among the student ama- teurs. The contests, although a certain amount of work and study is entailed in each one, bring fun and enjoyment to those who take part in them. Page 35 School starts again; registration. The football season opens. AUTUMN September 8 found the school corridors once more filled with its usual gathering of students. For some the period of vacation seemed altogether too short but of course a few were ready to resume their work. The football season started September 12 with a game against North Side of Fort Wayne. We were overwhelmingly defeated, the score being 44-6. As soon as the daily routine of school was again in smooth running order, the classes elected officers. To the lower classes this is not such an important duty, but the upper classmen find it quite a problem to select students to carry them through successfully. On September 25 a reception was given the Freshmen. On this occasion the Freshmen are formally welcomed into High School. October is always welcomed by the students. The Free Fall Fair comes in the first part of the month and school is dismissed on Friday. A large parade was staged by the students October 2, after which they were in- vited to the Court Theatre for a free motion picture. The annual P.-T. A. potluck supper was held at the gymnasium October 10. A stunt was presented by each class; the Freshmen gave an excellent novelty of school life. The Teacher ' s Convention brought another vacation. This dismissal gave the students four carefree days in which to while away their time as they pleased. While hunting, Mose Frownfelter, the quarter-back on our football team, was attacked by a bull and his shoulder broken. Such a misfortune came with the Garrett game just 10 days away.

It was one of the most successful ever given. The football season ended in a clash with Garrett. The Red Devils did their best but the final score was 6-6. Football over, the enthusiasm of the students turned toward basketball. One week was spent on the annual season ticket drive, won by the Junior Class. The High School held its presidential election, the polls being in Mr. Weathers ' room. The excitement was nearly as great and the polls as crowded as those of the real election. November 1 1 at eleven o ' clock the s tudent body assembled in silence in remembrance of Armistice. A program was presented and Reverend Jordan, of Garrett, gave a talk. Assemblies were guite freguent this month. An educational moving pic- ture, Work of Rivers was shown to the students. The basketball season opened with a home game November 13. This ended in a victory for Auburn over Ashley. Thanksgiving was celebrated with a program November 25. Then came another welcome vacation, this time for two days. The Butler game, which Auburn won 39-22, was played there as a dedi- cation of their new gymnasium. The Bluffton game proved unfortunate for us in two ways. Besides be- ing defeated, Frankie Gingrich received an injured shoulder. Page 37 The Big Gym; flood donations. Pep session; back to classes. WINTER Hobgoblin House, a mystery play, laid in the Ozark foothills, was pre- sented December 3-4 by the Juniors and Seniors. The drama was directed by Mr. McMurtrey, a new member of the faculty. A jinx seemed to hang over Auburn ' s basketball team, the Red Devils going down to defeat before Ligonier, Central Catholic of Fort Wayne, and Kendallville. December 18 a convocation was held in the little Gym in honor of Mr. Fribley, who resigned his position as Principal. A watch was presented to him by the classes and organizations as a token of their esteem. Mr. Miller, former Sophomore History teacher,, succeeded Mr. Fribley as Principal. On December 17 Auburn lost to South Side 24-20 in a hard fought battle. The Red Devils broke the jinx and defeated Kendallville in a return game 25-22. Under the direction of Miss Duguid and Miss Dawson a Christmas play was presented by the English department. The play was of simple nature, yet showed the true Christmas spirit. At last the long waited Christmas vacation came, two carefree weeks, easily and happily spent by most of the students. During vacation two changes in faculty personnel were made. Miss Hudgel replaced Miss Downing and Mr. Brookover filled the vacancy made by Mr. Miller ' s promotion. January 2 Auburn was again defeated, this time by Central of Fort Wayne. Defeats by Decatur and New Haven seemed to prove that some spell was on us. A pep session was held in the big Gym just before the Auburn-Garrett game. Some Garrett boosters were present to witness our show of enthusiasm. Page 38 Noon League; taking Annual pictures. Jill Edwards; Indianapolis trip; beside our Bus. WINTER The classic game between these two rivals ended in a Garrett victory, 31-30, after a double overtime. February, the shortest month of the year, seemed even shorter than usual, its days being filled with activities. Mr. McKenney, our Superintendent, attended the meeting of the City and Town School Superintendents Association in Indianapolis on the sixth. An interesting and educational talk on personalities was given by Miss Jill Edwards. The Red Devils broke their jinx and defeated the North Side Redskins, 32-29, in an overtime game on the Fort Wayne floor. Due to the disastrous flood along the Ohio River, students were asked to help gather money, clothes and food for the relief of the refugees. In re- sponse to this plea, a large guantity of clothing and canned goods were brought in, in addition to donations of money. LaGrange defeated us 34-30 in our next game, a stinging defeat after our victory over North Side. Convocations were held to commemorate the birthdays of Lincoln and Washington, during which moving pictures were shown. February 18 the school was honored by an oration by Bud Axtel, talented Freshman. February 24 the Senior class held a skating party at the Silver Moon Pavilion. With the winter season almost at an end, we were still waiting for real winter weather. Prepared for a hard winter like that of the preceding year, the weather-man seemed kind-hearted to many who were watching their coal bins carefully. Page 39 Taking a high one; Hubert tees off. Off with the gun; Frankie swings; spring promenaders. SPRING True to form, March came in as gentle as a lamb, but soon changed to the usual lion. The Economics class, under the supervision of Mr. Weathers, made a trip to Indianapolis on March 1, where they visited the Senate and House. Coach Young presented footballs to three football men, Ralph Ringler, Maurice Frownfelter and Kenneth Buttermore, on March 4. The school was entertained by the Girls ' Chorus under the direction of Miss Moor. On March 17 the G. A. A. presented a program, the theme of which was Time Marches On. A representation of sports through the ages was given. On this same day the basketball players received their new style basket- ball jackets, red with black leather sleeves. The rule adopted this year was that only Seniors will be given sweaters. The basketball tournaments were the outstanding spring events. Garrett was victorious at Angola, but at Auburn, Warsaw gained the right to com- pete at Muncie. Anderson won the state title by defeating Huntingburg at Indianapolis, March 27. March 25, the High School band gave a program for the school. .April Fool ' s day was celebrated with a Hi-Y program. A sound picture on Volcanoes was shown April 8 before the assembly. April 8-9 the operetta The Love Pirates of Hawaii, directed by Miss Moor, was presented. Page 40 Spring enters Assembly; archery in girls gym. boating at the picnic. Snaps at the picnic. SPRING A novel entertainment was provided by the French class when they gave a play in French. Track men started practice with exercises for limbering up muscles. A new Athletic Field was purchased this year by the school board. It is hoped this will provide the impetus for a better track team. Formerly we were crippled by the lack of a track. Arthur Kane, world traveler, gave a talk on oriental culture and eastern travel. The Auburn High School Band gave its annual Spring Concert in the Big Gym. A sound picture was shown on Atmospheric Graduation on the sixth of May. On May 12 the F. F. A. entertained the school. In spite of the signing of Annuals, teachers tried to carry on classes. Baccalaureate services were held May 23 at the Methodist church. Rev- erend Fisher, pastor of the Christian Church, delivered the sermon and the Glee Club sang. The Juniors entertained the Seniors at Potawatomi Inn, on Lake James. The banquet, followed by a program, dancing and bridge, kept everyone well occupied. On the following Wednesday the goal of four years of hard work, mixed with pleasure, was reached when diplomas were given out at Commencement. The final event of the year was the annual High School picnic, held at Hamilton Lake. Page 41 Snowballing; singing carols. SUMMARY OF SCHOOL LIFE During a year marked by irregularities of weather, school life proceeded as usual, hampered only by sickness caused by the sudden changes in temperatures. Autumn found the Freshmen getting into the wrong class rooms and Seniors trying to act dignified. Auburn had a fairly successful football sea- son, with few injuries. During the winter months, as the. Freshmen became accustomed to the ways of High School, they entered more into the life of the student body. Skating parties, assemblies and convocations, club meetings and other events were enjoyed. The basketball team seemed to have a jinx, although good basketball was played every game. Noon League Basketball was an important sport for members of all classes. Spring brought on the usual fever, lack of interest in studies, and a gen- eral desire to be outside. Even a little poetry appeared. Trackmen were again seen running to and fro. The Annual Staff was hard at work. Seniors rushed at the last minute to get back work done. Baccalaureate services were held, then school ended with several social events. The Junior-Senior banguet was given at Potawatomi Inn for the Seniors, the Juniors playing host. Commencement came at last, May 26, in the Big Gym, Mr. W. E. J. Gratz delivering the address. The beautiful deco- rations were arranged by the P.-T. A. mothers. A dinner honoring the girl graduates was given by the Business and Professional Women ' s Club, then came the final get-together, the picnic, at Hamilton Lake. Vc Y Southern exposure; north entrance.

Freeman, Talbert, Potter EDITORIAL This year the theme, the student as an amateur, was chosen. In developing this theme we have tried to plan new and ap- pealing lay-outs. For the first time circle pictures have been used. This year the book was printed in two colors. Insert sheets were of novel type. Mr. Fribley started the staff on the undertaking and after his resignation, Mr. Miller carried on this work successfully. The faculty also cooperated whole-heartedly in allowing stu- dents to leave classes for pictures. The staff did their part well and were always ready to help even though this meant inconvenience to them. Rice ' s Studio did fine work in photography. The Fort Wayne Engraving Company helped the staff spend wisely their hard earned money. Covers were again purchased from the Molloy Plant. Printing of the book was done by the Auburn Printing Company. All this splendid assistance made possible the presenting to you of our amateurs in this annual, the Follies of 1937. — Ray Thomas Page 45 1 n ;fe.C— - B L! D ?

To recognize scholastic ability, each six weeks period students receiving two or more A ' s are placed on the honor roll. From this group the four highest from each class are chosen each year for the Honor Group. If there is a tie between two students both are placed in the group. To be placed on the Honor Roll or be a member of the Honor Group re- quires effort on the part of the students. They must be able not only to study, but to use the reference library and to cooperate with the teachers. Many of these students spend a great deal of extra time in preparing their lessons in order to get high marks. In this way they obtain training that is much more important than the grades they receive in school. Those included in this years honor group were: Seniors: Oscar Noren, Jack Smith, Juanita Shimer and Ray Thomas; Juniors: Martha Close, Wilmer Freeman, June Kuhlman and Thelma Cosper; Sophomores: Peggy Hachet, Jane Hines, Virginia Smith and Donald Schaab; Freshmen: Eleanore Mitchell, Paul Smith, Paul Walter and Richard Thomas. A varied curriculum gives every student a chance to receive training for the field in which he or she is most interested. In this way talent and ability are developed. Honor students caught in the act. Page 46 Top row: K. Miller, Boren, D. Schaab, Axtel, Whittington, W. Clarke Second row: Garman, F. Hall. P. Smith, J. Smith, R. Shull, E.

Reed OPERETTA The Golden Trail The operetta, by Charles Wakefield Cadman, was presented April 2-3, 1936, under the direction of Miss Frances Moor and Miss Gladys Duguid. The gold rush of ' 49 in California was the scene of many wild doings. Thus the plot centered around a stolen consignment of gold dust and the coveted Alvarado family jewels. Don Carlos Alvarado is obliged to halt at a hotel enroute to a birthday celebration at Sonora. Charlie, who is in possession of the gold is captured by bandits who ap- parently make off with the gold consignment, taking Carmela as a hostage. Don Carlos finds Charlie and frees him. They find the gold has been stolen. Tom and Dick accuse Charles of stealing their gold and prepare to string him up. From then on the various twists of the plot are unfolded and the ending is a happy one for all when the bandit leader is exposed and his men captured. The business staff consisted of: Tom Krise, Basil McDougall, Howard Mc- Kenney, Frederick Hall, Betty Mavis, Robert Nelson, and Gerald Lombard. Make-up was in charge of Miss Haynes.

Thomas JUNIOR-SENIOR PLAY Hobgoblin House Hobgoblin House, a hair raising mystery story, was presented the nights of December 3-4 under the direction of Mr. McMurtrey. Miss Priscilla Carter purchased an old house in the Ozark foothills, where she takes her two nieces, Marian and Jill, to prove to them that Frank Harlow and Jack Loring only want to marry them for money. Darius Krupp, the caretaker, tells them that a man murdered his wife in this house, cutting off her head with a butcher ' s cleaver. He claims the house is haunted and that the murderer is still alive. The abrupt departure of Marian and Jill from their city home bring Frank and Jack looking for them. An escaped maniac who is thought to be the murderer suddenly appears. The boys prove themselves worthy of Aunt Priscilla ' s nieces by discover- ing that the maniac and caretaker are the kidnapers of a millionaire ' s daugh- ter. For the return of the girl the boys are paid a handsome reward. The mystery solved, all their fears banished, happiness prevails.

This year practice at 8:30 Monday and Friday mornings was discontinued, but every third period on these same days they could be heard playing in the little Gym. The band has grown by leaps and bounds under Mr. Wilcox ' s skilled and patient instruction. They have cooperated with the yell leaders in introduc- ing new yells, and have helped win games by their music between halves. The Spring Concert, presented by the band combined with the orchestra, is one of the outstanding events of the year.

Hines ORCHESTRA Every Monday and Friday, the sixth periods, the ' mingled sour and sweet notes coming from the Little Gym signify that the orchestra is again prac- ticing. Also under the direction of Mr. Wilcox, each year the orchestra has im- proved and grown larger. An unusually large violin section has been de- veloped. This year the group learned several popular pieces, a novelty for high school organizations. The orchestra has been very helpful in school activities. They furnished the music for the Junior-Senior play and the operetta. They cooperated with the band in producing the Spring Concert, and have played in outside programs. School would be much different without the music of this group. Looking down on the Orchestra; ready for action. S Page 51 Top row: Robbins, M. Shou- del, Purdy, G. Miller Second row: Hardy, R.

The chorus, which consisted of Freshmen and Sopho- mores, had an average attendance of fifteen. Practices were held every Tuesday and Thursday mornings. The chorus is a means of preparing the Freshmen and Sophomores for musical work in their last two years of high school. The chorus not only sang, but this year Miss Moor introduced a special course in ear training. They studied the lives of great composers and the stories of the best-known operas. They also had notation, sight reading and rhythmic drills. The girls ' favorite numbers were: Moonlight Song, Italian Street Song, Bells of Memory, Nightfall, Come to the Fair, Old Kentucky Home, and Bonnie Heather. Singing and studying.

The chorus was made up mostly of Freshmen and Sophomores, the average attendance being twelve. Because of their popularity, the boys were asked to sing on several oc- casions, not only for Assembly programs but also at the Lions Club, the P.-T. A. and the Spring Festival. Some of their outstanding numbers were Cornfield Melodies, Parade of the Wooden Soldiers, Down by the Sea, My Heart ' s in the Highlands, Shipmates Forever, Winter Song and Pop Goes the Weasel. Miss Moor has, through this chorus, interested and instructed boys in music. Boys have taken a keener interest in music, and have entered into musical activities with more enthusiasm. Begin!

Clubs and organizations range from Glee Club to the Art Group; from Manual Training to Commercial Training; from Interscholastic to the Home Ec Club and Future Farmers of America; and from History Club to Letter- men ' s Club. Each of these organizations has its place in school life. The aim and goal of all these groups is to build character, give social training, increase knowledge, teach sportsmanship, and add to the students ' enjoyment of school life. Each group is under the direction of a faculty member. This year Mr. Brookover, Mr. Weathers, Miss Hudgel, Miss Haynes, Mr. Hornaday, Mr. Gumpp, Miss Wellbaum, Mr. Miller, Mr. McMurtrey and Mr. Young have given many hours to promote these clubs. Officers are chosen by the members to manage club affairs. Meetings are under the direction of the students and the programs reflect the varied interests of the members. Through these organizations, many social activities are sponsored, which increase the pleasure of school life. Annual Staff conference. Mr. Miller and the Editor. Page 62 ATHLETICS Those amateurs who take part in athletics represent Auburn in com- petition with other schools. Al- though they are not always success- ful, they develop a sportsmanlike spirit which, after all, is more im- portant than winning games. Page 63 COACH YOUNG Due to his excellent work, for thirteen years Zeke has turned out successful athletic squads in the three major sports. He has won the friendship of all the stu- dents with whom he has been associated, and deserves great credit for his untir- ing effort. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Auburn High School Athletic Association is made up of all students buying student tickets and the members of the three sport squads. It is head- ed officially by Mr. Miller, the principal, and the officers are elected by the student body. Hubert Hines was chosen president; Carrie Reeder, secre- tary; and Mr. Schooley, faculty treasurer. Their faithful work helped greatly in guiding athletics throughout the year. The Girls ' Athletic Association is an organization gaining wide reputa- tion in recreation and sports for the girls, supplementing those offered to boys. Phyllis Lochner was elected president for the year. Mr. Schooley, Hubert Hines, Carrie Reeder, Phyllis Lochner Page 64 Gervase Hess, Denzil Myers, Gervase Hess, Franklin Gingrich, Hubert Hines CAPTAINS, MANAGERS AND YELL LEADERS This year two captains were chosen for the football eleven. Hubert Hines, halfback, was elected captain of the backfield, and Gervase Hess, who played guard, was named captain of the line. Both players had had three years of experience on the varsity and were the backbone of the team. Ralph Ringler was elected basketball captain by his teammates and de- served this honor, as he was second in the conference scoring this year. Last year ' s track squad picked Sam Williams as its captain. Sam took Auburn to the state track meet in the pole vault and received a silver medal for placing second. As manager of the track team Denzil Myers was ideal. He had been the point-scorer for Auburn in his former three years of competition. Franklin Gingrich was elected manager of the football eleven and was kept busy looking after the equipment and patching up the injuries. Gervase Hess was elected to the job of looking after the basketball equip- men and sat beside Zeke during the games. He was always ready to aid the players if necessary. Bob Mark was our yell leader this year, and will be back next year, cheer- ing the Boys on to victory. He was ably aided by Ann Zimmerman and Bette Myers. Ralph Ringler, Ann Zimmerman, Robert Mark, Bette Myers, Sam Williams Page 65 McDarby, W. Freeman, Buttermore, C. Burns, L. Wible, Stallman, Shutt FOOTBALL The Auburn football season started with a bang! About forty boys turned out for practice offering good material for a winning team. Picking the best of these boys, Zeke and the team journeyed to North Side of Fort Wayne for a night game but went down to defeat by a score of 44-6. In the first home game of the season Auburn again took the short end, los- ing to the Eagles of Columbia City, 12-0. In their second home game Auburn was again defeated. Auburn never gave up and battled to the end, but lost with a score of 30-7, to Decatur. The second night game was played at Bluffton. Auburn was unable to score and suffered its fourth consecutive defeat by a score of 6-0. Zeke next took his team to Central of Fort Wayne and suffered a loss, 33-7, to Central ' s strong Tigers. Huntington and Auburn then clashed at Williams field. The Vikings nosed out the Red Devils with a 14-12 victory. Carr, R. Ringler, Scott, Renz, Tarter, Talbert, Frownfelter Page 66 P. Rugman, S. Hines, L. Hess, G. Stebing, P. Muhn, D. Poppele, R. Beaty FOOTBALL The last game of the schedule, that with Garrett, our old rivals, was looked forward to eagerly. Auburn played a good brand of ball and the game ended in a tie, 6-6. This closed the football seas on leaving Auburn with six defeats and one tie game. They had the spirit but lacked the height and weight. At the close of the season the following received letters for their efforts to put A. H. S. on the map: Robert Beaty, Neil McDarby, Glen Stebing, Perry Muhn, Raymond Scott, Paul Rugman, Rex Renz, Pierre Talbert, Law- rence Wible, John Tarter, Stanley Hines, Gervase Hess, Earl Carr, Christopher Burns, Maurice Frownfelter, Hubert Hines, Kenneth Buttermore, Dick Poppele, Ralph Ringler, Donald Shutt. Carl Stallman, Leonard Hess, and Franklin Gingrich. Limiting silver footballs to Seniors, the following received these awards: Ralph Ringler, Kenneth Buttermore and Maurice Frownfelter. Although many football players were lost by graduation, others remain, promising a winning team for next year. Success; downed. Page 67 BASKETBALL REX RENZ— Hutch — Center Hutch ended up playing forwar d and showed himself worthy of the position. He is only a Junior, so much can be expected of him. RALPH RINCLER— Pinkie — Forward Probably the fastest cutting man on the team, Pinkie ' s fast work and accurate shots won him sec- ond place in the conference scoring this season. LAWRENCE WIBLE— Wimpy — Guard A plucky floor guard, Wimpy ' s fine play and coolness won the North Side game for the Red Devils. He is small but will give a good account of himself another year. FRANKLIN GINGRICH— ' Frankie — Guard Although small, Frankie proved a great aid to the Red Devils. His accurate shots often saved the game. He suffered a setback however when he was in- jured in the Bluffton game. EARL CARR- Stretchy —Center Due to his height, Stretchy was a valuable man on the team. Being only a Sophomore he should prove useful in the future. wiss- Page 68 BASKETBALL HUBERT HINES— Huby — Guard Huby ' s last year on the squad proved a great success. He played a good defensive game and will be missed next year. HOWARD CRAVEN— Hod — Guard Hod saw a lot of action this year and this ex- perience will be valuable to the team next year. Because of his height he broke up many plays. WALTER KLEEMAN— Walt — Forward Walt being six feet tall can use his height and ability to advantage next year. He is a cool, steady player and accurate shot. LEONARD HESS— Gable — Forward Gable is the big handsome forward for the Red Devils. He started out strong, but due to illness he was handicapped. He will probably see more ac- tion next year. RAYMOND SCOTT— Scottie — Guard Little but mighty, Scottie shows promise of a real hardwood player. Scottie will be back next year to help the team on to victory. Page 69 Butler game. BASKETBALL Answering Zeke ' s call for basketball material, twenty-nine boys qualified for the squad from which the regular and reserve teams were selected. Auburn ' s first opponent was Ashley. With an entirely new line-up, Au- burn was able to win their first home game by a score of 26-18. Next Auburn entertained the Albion five and romped away to a 51-17 victory. The Red Devils then traveled to Butler to help them dedicate their new Gym. Auburn had an easy time and defeated the Windmills, 39-22. For their first conference game the team journeyed to Bluffton. Here they bowed to defeat, losing by a score of 24-14. After a very rough game with the Ligonier Red Raiders, at the latter ' s Gym, the Red Devils were defeated for the second time, 35-25. In a thrilling game the Red Devils lost, 29-20, to the Central Catholic Irish of Fort Wayne. Again Auburn was forced to take defeat when they were nosed out by the Kendallville Comets, 22-16. Displaying their fastest and most inspired brand of ball this season the Red Devils nearly upset Fort Wayne ' s South Side Archers, but lost by a score of 24-20. Seeking revenge and flashing a brilliant offensive drive Auburn emerged victorious over Kendallville, 25-22, in a return game. But the Red Devils were soundly trounced, 40-16, at Fort Wayne, in a match with the Central Tigers. Pep session before Garrett clash. Page 70 Noon League, where many players get their start. BASKETBALL Aub urn was handed a stinging defeat by the Decatur Yellow Jackets with a score of 35-28. They again went down in defeat at the hands of New Haven by a score of 31-27. The much awaited game! But alas, the Garrett Railroaders won over Au- burn, 32-31, in an over-time game. We lost to Angola, 36-27, but rallied to win over North Side of Fort Wayne in a thrilling over-time, 32-29. Auburn met LaGrange and the Red Devils took their tenth loss, 34-30. Columbia City ' s Eagles defeated Auburn, 41-30, in the last home game of the season. At Hartford City the Airdales proved themselves much too large for the Red Devils. Auburn dropped this game, 40-19. TOURNAMENTS Auburn won its first game in the sectional tourney at Angola, defeating Orland. The next game they were eliminated 31-27 by their deadliest rivals, Garrett, who went on to win the sectional. Garrett defeated Spencerville in the semi-finals and Waterloo in the finals. In the regional tourney held at Auburn, Warsaw won, which gave them the right to represent this district in the super-regional at Muncie. Anderson downed Huntingburg for the state championship at Indianapolis. At the Auburn tourney. Page 71 Top row: Mr. Brookover, Tarter, R. Craven, L.

The seconds had an easy time defeating the Albion seconds, 29-18, but received their first setback from Butler, 16-13. Bluffton easily downed the Auburn seconds, 29-17, but Auburn then trounced the Ligonier five, 44-15. They were also able to defeat Central Catholic of Fort Wayne, 24-21, and followed this with another victory by tripping Kendallville ' s team, 30-29. They proved no match for the strong South Side team of Fort Wayne and lost, 31-13. They also received a setback from their old rivals, Kendall ville, losing 20-9. The game with Central was a thriller and the team came out on top, 32-21. A week later they defeated Decatur, 22-20. Auburn proved too much for New Haven, nosing them out 24-23 and next trimmed their rivals, the Gar- rett Railroaders, 30-21. The team then downed the Angola team, 23-22, but were overcome by the North Side seconds, 21-22. They next were able to dispose of the La- Grange team, 32-23. The second team closed its season with a victory over Columbia City, and a thrilling battle with Hartford City which they lost. Looking up; Noon League. i- ,- Page 72 CLASS WINNER Standing: P.

The first two days of each week are given to Interclass competition, the Noon Leaguers playing the last three days. Under Mr. McMurtrey ' s guidance seven Noon League teams were select- ed, with Dick Poppele, Don Shutt, Paul Whittington, Ted Winebrenner, Chris Burns, Bob Ludwig, and Kenton Mark, captains. Competition was great among these teams, and the championship was not decided until a three team tie was played off. In the last game Poppele ' s team defeated that of Shutt ' s for the title. The Interclass championship was undisputed. The Seniors won every game, thus gaining first place. Rivalry among the lower classes was keen, however. Noon League was enjoyed so much that after the regular games were over, the teams started another tournament. This time Whittington ' s team was victorious, with Poppele ' s team runner-up. SS S!

Whittington and Frownfelter at Fort Wayne TRACK After several weeks of practice those boys who were fortunate enough to be selected for the track team traveled to Albion for their first meet. Auburn had an easy time and scored 81 2-5 points to Albion ' s 7 3-5 points. The team kept its good record in a meet with Kendallville at the Garrett field. The score was rather one-sided, Auburn 73 5-6, Kendallville 31 1-6. The following week Auburn again showed their superiority, this time by defeating the Howe Military Academy. Auburn was easily the victor, 74.9 to 40.1. The Auburn thinly-clads suffered their first setback at the hands of North Side of Fort Wayne. The Redskins turned the tables, defeating Auburn by a large margin, 86 to 31. In the sectional meet, held at the North Side Athletic field, Sam Williams placed first.

Some prefer dark men — but me — I like blonds, A Fuller brush man or a seller of bonds. One who can dance and play a violin, Who will not return the thrown roll- ing-pin, Who makes love divinely and kisses like Gable Who can wash up the dishes and clear off the table.
