Being only human, everybody is continually striving to reach the summit of his goal, usually perfection in some line of art or skill. There are always places along the way where help may be secured. The most notable of these are school and home. In school the student is given the opportunity to be- come as skilled as his tutor. He passes on to a higher education, either in reality of making a living for himself and others, or in gaining more knowledge through in- tensive study under a more skilled guidance than he has yet obtained. Thus, as the Grecians toiled for a better living, we toil to become better students and citizens. Therefore, the Senior Class of 1938 presents this an- nual in which we have endeavored to show the relation between Grecian perfection and a perfection of modern journalism, art, and photography. . f ) ,! .

They are very wisely handled by our patriarchs, the faculty and school board, j 1 Page 7 Wi iJ ' l ' 1 ' 1 l W 1 1 f t I f f r Dr. A. V. Hines Mr. H. L. McKenney Mr. B. O. Snepp Mr. R. W. Carlson SCHOOL BOARD The budgeteers of the Auburn Schools are often referred to as the School Board. Mr. B. O. Snepp, president of the board, seems to have a natural ability for such a position. His past record in the financial and executive depart- ments in the Auburn Automobile Company has given him the opportunity to develop this ability. Dr. A. V. Hines is treasurer of this select group. He knows his mathematics as well as he knows the human anatomy and is accurate in his work. Mr. R. W. Carlson, secretary, is employed at the Auburn Rubber Company. (You can see he has had a fitting preparatory course also.) The superintendent of the schools, Mr. H. L. McKenney, acts as executive officer of this group. When it comes to the smooth running of an educational system and its intricacies, you ' ll have a hard time finding a better engineer than Mr. McKenney. These men represent the enforcement of state laws in education. They also figure out the budget and other uninteresting things which must be done, but they do it willingly. We can also assure you that each of these men would do his utmost to promote the good standard of our school in any way possible. Page 8 Mr. Miller Mr. Brookovei Mr. Weathers Miss Sellers Miss Brandon Mr. Wilcox ADMINISTRATION The Faculty almost underwent a revolution this year. Miss Duff took the place of Miss Haynes as girls ' physical education teacher; Miss Brandon be- came our new music teacher; Mr. Ettner replaced Mr. McMurtrey in fresh- man English; and Miss Clark stepped into the vacancy left by Miss Welbaum as typing teacher. But listen ' Besides that, all Latin was changed to the instruction of Miss Dawson, and Miss Armstrong became the English in- structor. Hardly seems like the same old school, does it? But everyone is well-fitted for the position he holds, and school is progressing as smoothly as ever. FACULTY SOCIAL SCIENCE AND FINE ARTS MR. LLOYD MILLER A. B., A.

They are N. Y. A. students, and believe me, they are some help! The Parent-Teacher Association has lent many a helping hand this year. The receivers were students who really needed help in one way or another. The association met the requirements this year which enabled them to become a standard association. This is the first time Auburn High School has had a standard association. The officers of the association this year were: presi- dent, Mrs. B. O. Snepp; first vice president, Mr. L. W. Miller; second vice presi- dent, Mrs. Wayne Smith; secretary, Mrs. R. B. McCrum; treasurer, Mrs. C. D. Wimer. FACULTY SCIENCE AND LANGUAGE MR. DONALD COAR A.

Every Monday morning, each home room spends one-half hour on the discussion of this topic. Mimeographed bulletins are issued every morning and give the teachers their instructions for the day. School announcements are also added to this scheme. Did you ever hear Mr. Gumpp criticize the typing of one of these? Tch-tch-tch. The students are also getting into the habit of bringing their excuses. Could that be due to Mr. Miller ' s influence? A FACULTY OCATIONAL SUBJECTS AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION MR.

Igonies it will be a long time before people forget the part Rex took i n the Junior- Senior play this year. He was on the first five in basketball and also played football.

A. 3-4; History Club 3-4; Boys ' Chorus 4; Class Vice President 4; An- nual Staff 4, Sales Manager 4; Discussion 4; Jr.-Sr. Play 4; Operetta 3-4. Oh, I say, this is all such a beastly bore!

He is also one of our foot- ball players. Page 19 CLARENCE NAGLER A. H. S. 1-2-3-4; Boys ' Chorus 1-3-4; History Club 3-4; Operetta 4.

A. 4; Hi-Y 4; Noon League Basket- ball 4; Interclass Basketball 4; Football 4.

Bob, the little boy with the big grin, is a friend to all. He was the business manager of both the annual and football team this year and did very .good work in both. This is a secret, but he really can swing it at the school dances. Page 20 Charles Reeder Angeline Refner Edward Richards Paul Rugman Roger Russell Suzanne Schaab CHARLES REEDER A. H. S. 1-2-3-4; F.

(Sigh) Scottie received the Hickory Club award for his football playing and was one of our best basketball players. However, his main interest has been a certain black-haired Junior. ROGER SHULL A. H. S. 1-2-3-4. If anybody has enjoyed his four years in A. H. S. as much as Roger has, they ' ll have to go some. Oh yes, I believe Roger did take Ag. He says he had to do something while he was in school. RUSSELL SISSON A. H.

S. 1-2-3-4; Noon League Basketball 2-3-4, Interclass Basketball 2-4; Basketball 2-3; Football 3; Noon League Baseball 3-4. Lyndon is one of those tall, quiet men about school.

CLASS OFFICERS AND ADVISERS The second week of school the announcements read, Senior Class meet- ing to be held in the assembly at four P. M. That evening there was a general rush towards the assembly, and five min- utes later the first class election of the year was underway. Mr. Miller super- vised all meetings and presided until the class president was elected. This year the Freshmen selected as their officers: Ernest Foltz, president; Lawrence Boger, vice president; Arthur Muzzillo, secretary; Barbara Short, treas- urer; and Mr. Brookover, history instructor and basketball coach, class adviser. The Sophomores elected Bud Axtell, president; Robert Trader, vice president; Demaris Hardy, secretary; and Eleanor Mitchell, treasurer. They chose Miss Dawson as their class adviser. Mr. Weathers was chosen as the Juniors ' class adviser and has certainly brought them through with flying colors. They selected as their other leaders: Stanley Hines, president; Archie Kirkpatrick, vice president; Margaret Snepp, secretary; and Jane Hines, treasurer. The Seniors again elected Rex Renz as president; they named Tom McCrum, vice president; Mary Ellen Hines, secretary; and Ruth Shaffer, treasurer. Mr. Gumpp was selected as class adviser for the fourth consecutive year. The student leaders have performed their duties very successfully through- out the school year.

THE LAVENDER AND GREEN The Juniors, under the careful leadership of Mr. Weathers, put on the most successful Junior Carnival that has ever been staged in A. H. S. This group of students seems to have the happy faculty for being able to make money. They helped their financial standing by selling Christmas cards, and eats at the football games. A tragic incident of the school year was the fatal injury received by Earl Carr, a member of this class, in the Garrett-Auburn football game. His death has meant a great loss to this school, both in athletics and as a well-loved friend and schoolmate. This class is well known for its ability along various lines. Some of the better known artists are: Matie Sisson for her dancing; Jane Hines, Vivienne Zeigler, Margaret Snepp, Peggy Hachet, and Jeanne Collins in music; Jean Trader and Georgiana Souders for their dramatic ability; Carlton Brandon, Stanley Hines, Archie Kirkpatrick, Adrian Mavis, Neil McDarby, and Don Reynolds for their athletic prowess. The following have been on the Honor Roll during the past year: Jane Hines, Peggy Hachet, Donald Schaab, and Frederick Hall. Looks pretty good! Umm! Page 25 Top row: Helmick, A. Brown, Graham, R.

One of the outstanding personalities of this class is none other than Jason Davis. Being rotund and jolly, he was generally accepted by all. He became the mascot of the basketball team toward the latter part of the season and brought them very good luck. The class offers as their representatives in athletics: Bob Trader, Dick Craven, Bill Owens, Bob Hersh, Eugene Rinehold, John Tarter, Charles Groscup, Paul Walter, and Marlin Yoder. Sophs at play.

THE SOPHOMORE CLASS Paul Walter, Paul Smith, Eleanor Mitchell, and Betty Steckley represented this class on the Honor Roll. Various members of the class held offices in G. A. A. Several of the most active members of this organization were Martha Brown, Betty Steckley, Betty Williams, Veva Martin, Dorene McClintock, and Betty Close. Bud Axtell, Betty Williams, Dick Craven, and others have taken an active and outstanding part in the musical activities of the year. This class has shown itself original in all of its activities and much is ex- pected from it in its two remaining years. Sophs at work. Page 27 Top row; H. Brown, Butler, Culler, C. Beaty, Dawson, R.

THE FRESHMAN CLASS The Freshman Class entered high school this year with rather puzzled expressions on their faces, but gradually they seemed to comprehend the experiment they were undertaking. They started out with a very unique float in the Fall Fair parade and have continued to show equal ability in other school affairs. Ernest Foltz was elected class president, and Mr. Brookover, class adviser. The president responded to the Senior president at the Freshman Reception with a very creditable speech. At this reception the other three classes enter- tain the Freshmen to initiate them into high school. Innocence personified Page 28 Top row: R. Maxwell, R. Ref- ner, N. Maxwell, Schock, Ruchel, J.

They are Ernest Foltz, Max Culler, Arthur Muzzillo, Ralph Muzzillo, Robert Garman, Bob Eckhart, and Denny McDarby. The girls have not let the boys get ahead of them in the least. Judy Buchanan, Megan Farnham, Feme Cripe, Betty Schaab, Lois Mains, and Ann Alexander have represented their class in both G. A. A. and in various musical activities. Henry Ford, Betty Schooley, Feme Cripe, Lois Mains, Eva Beller, and Ann Alexander are the honor students of the class. Much is expected from this talented group in their ensuing years in high school. Working hard, Swartz? Page 29 Spring is in the air. SUMMARY OF ADMINISTRATION AND CLASSES Among the teaching personnel appeared several new faces. ' These new additions to the faculty have proved themselves very active in school life and well versed in their art. The first social activity of the school year was the P.-T. A. potluck. A large crowd of parents, students, and faculty attended. The program was furnished by the outstanding talent in the different classes. At the Freshman Reception a small part of the green material was rubbed off the many ears when Rex Renz welcomed the Freshmen into the student body. Ernie Foltz replied in a manly fashion. The Juniors furnished refresh- ments, and the Sophomores decorated the gym. Each of the four classes was represented in the Free Fall Fair parade by gaily decorated cars or floats. The Junior Carnival with its fun and many concessions was very successful, clearing better than a hundred dollars. The Junior-Senior Play was postponed until December because of the death of our classmate, Earl Carr, on November 2nd. An old precedent was broken this year in the form of several school dances. The opening one was sponsored by the Hi-Y, and the others by the P.-T. A. On May 22 the Seniors attended Baccalaureate at the Methodist Church, and Rev. Fisher delivered the sermon. May 23 the Juniors entertained the Seniors at the Annual Banquet. It was held at the Women ' s Club, Fort Wayne, and everyone seemed to enjoy himself. Commencement was held for the Class of ' 38 in the Alumni Gymnasium on May 25th. An interesting address was given by Dr. John G. Benson, and the graduates received their diplomas. The activities were officially ended on May 27th at Hamilton Lake when the school migrated there for the annual picnic. Sights around school. Page 30 r : : ml 1 „. J SCHOOL LIFE We have gradually progressed from the strict school curriculum of Grecian days to a wide variety of curricular activities. Every student is able to find something to suit his needs. Rather nice, what? _ Page 31 Before 1:00. The Auburn eleven in action. Attention, please. Is that Brandon or Garbo? ■ SEPTEMBER Look at the new faces! But with 97 freshmen out of 333 students you would expect just that. Vacation is over, school has begun, and all have decided to buckle down to work. The ranks of the faculty showed some substitutions, also — Miss Mary Brandon for Miss Moor as music instructor, Mr. Ettner for Mr. McMurtrey as freshman English teacher, and Miss Wilma Duff as girls ' physical ed teacher. Miss Grace Clark became one of our faculty members a couple of weeks after school started when Miss Welbaum departed for greener pastures. Bob Potter, as football business manager, took the grimy gridders under his wing. Our team played all over the Columbia City footballers to the tune of 30-0 on the 17th. Our band blossomed forth with new black and maroon uniforms at the Boy Scout Camporee. Our Red Devils, in a fairy-like manner (Rugman, a fairy?) scampered over the Decatur goal line four times with two conversions to make the score 26-0. As one of the special features of our Free Fall Fair, Don Lash ran from Garrett to Auburn in 21:38 minutes. Has anyone seen that post-graduate, that candid, candid cameraman, that one and only Steve Fitch 9 The Annual Staff wants some snapshots taken. Page 32 Pop Weathers through a tea-cup. Freshmen like football. P. T. A. potlucks are fun, too. OCTOBER We were finally released on Friday, October 1, to enjoy the ballyhoo at the Fall Fair. Everybody took part in the parade, one of the big features of the day. On the 8th the freshmen were initiated, i.e., formally, into our social life, at the Freshman Reception. The Dukes of Swing furinshed part of the program. We went to Howe Military Academy and emerged victorious over the Howe team and the influence of the Fair with a score of 7 to 6. Still in the win, we took the Bluffton Tigers on our own field, the first chance for home rooters to see the Red Devils in action. The score was 6-0 in spite of the rain. Mr. A. L. Trester gave us an inspiring talk and a new understanding of sportsmanship. He is the State Commissioner of Athletics. His subject was Youthtime is Education Time. Our team lost (and how!) its first game of the season to Central with a score of 35-6. Three hundred of us went over to the big gym and ate at the P. T. A. ' ' ' get acguainted supper on the 18th. Rex Renz, the master-of-ceremonies, introduced the entertainers who were selected from the whole school. Our eleven burly brutes stepped all over the Hicksville team on the 22nd. The score was 40-0. Garrett beat us, 31-14, in the last game of our football season. Page 33 Mr. Miller at a pep session. A convocation. The band marches between halves Second five in action. NOVEMBER This month has brought a tragedy into our school. Earl Carr, one of our out- standing athletes, was seriously injured in the Garrett game. His death several days later was a great shock to all of us. The Junior Carnival proved to be a huge success with Margaret Snepp and Ray Scott as king and gueen. The annual basketball drive to sell season tickets was started. There was much competition between the four classes to see which would be the winner. Important rule changes in basketball this year provide much excitement and entertainment. Another added attraction at the home games was the high school band who played between games and at the half in new uniforms. Our team lost the first game of the season which was played with Ashley at Ashley. However, the Red Devils won the first home game with Albion by a score of 35-20. This game showed much improvement in the team. The Red Devils made two straight victories by defeating Central Catholic on the Fort Wayne floor. The game was close all the way through, but our team sgueezed out an extra three points at the end. The Auburn Red Devils trimmed the sails of the Butler Windmills in a pre- Thanksgiving game with the final score, 21-15. Our band gave. a drill exhibition between halves of the varsity game, making the letters, A, H and S. Our team won a conference game played with Bluffton. The score was 32-23. We got a chance to eat, catch up on our studies, and loaf all at the same time by taking time out for the Thanksgiving vacation. It was made plain, however, that school would be resumed on Monday. (And it was!) The new athletic grounds will be known as the Earl Carr Memorial Field. The name was selected as a tribute to the ability and fine sportsmanship that Earl displayed at all times. Page 34 4:00 and all is well. Owens becomes the center of attention. Christmas play. Alumni Gym. DECEMBER The Junior-Senior play, Here Comes Charlie, was presented the first and second of this month. It was an extremely clever play and well cast. Jeanne Carmer took the part of Charlie, and Pierre Talbert the role of her foster parent with whom she falls in love. Rex Renz was a riot as Charlie ' s hill-billy uncle. Other members of the cast were Iris Pendland, Merle Mock, Mary Ellen Hines, Howard Craven, Jean Trader, Roeine Garman, and Tom McCrum. A Girl Reserve Club, the feminine counterpart of Hi-Y, was organized by Miss Hugdel, Miss Dawson, and Miss Clark. The officers were Willidene Kim- mell, president; Jane Hines, vice president; Jean Rowley, secretary; and Dorothy Boren, treasurer. The Lions from Leo broke the Auburn Red Devils ' winning streak by a score of 31 to 26. But the seconds won 20 to 19. Our team retaliated by winning from Kendallville with a score of 27 to 19. This was the conference game, and Scott made 15 points, four less than all the Comets put together. Auburn lost two in a row, one to South Side, the score — 29 to 26, and the other in the second game with Kendallville, 33 to 24. At last we were dismissed for Christmas vacation. A program was given in the auditorium including a play presented by the English class. Iris Pend- land gave a reading, and we all joined in on the carols. During the Christmas vacation our team got back in the win column again by defeating Huntington Township by 29 to 20. We also won from Central of Fort Wayne. The score— 28 to 22. Page 35 Dr. Heidcd. At the Auburn- Garrett game. All ' s quiet on the Western front. Waiting, girls? JANUARY Here we are, back in school again. What a strain for some of the stu- dents to get here in time after sleeping as long as they wished. (Oh, hummmm. Me, too!) In the first game of the month the Red Devils were defeated by the Decatur Yellow Jackets. The score was 28 to 25. This defeat dropped our team to third in the Conference standing. Auburn won an unexpected victory from New Haven. Score 28 to 26. We learned that the regional tournament was shifted to Warsaw by the High School Athletic Association. The sectional is to be played at Garrett. We played our old rivals, Garrett, and came back home holding the short end of a 36 to 33 score. (No alibis.) A talk on thrift, augmented by pictures, was presented to us in the little gym. (Save your pennies!) Neil McKenney was the winner in the discussion contest held by the Au- burn Rotary Club. The subject was The Business Man ' s Opportunity to Pro- mote W orld Peace. Bud Axtell captured second place honors, Kent McKen- ney, third, and Fred Hall, fourth. On the twenty-sixth we learned how exacting the automobile manufac irig industry is by hearing and seeing pictures given under the sponsorship lievrolet. lie of the great social events of the year took place when the Hi-Y boys a on a dance in the Li ' l Gym. Only the students, faculty, and parents were invited, but everyone had a good time. The Dukes of Swing beat out the tunes. (There are rumors of more! Oh, boy!) Page 36 The magician. The Public Library. Noon League. Zeke speaks to his public again. FEBRUARY The annual staff was announced, and work on the Follies was begun. The Red Devils gave North Side a tough battle but were defeated 37 to 35. That same day we saw a movie, The Spirit of the Plains. Mr. Felch, a world traveler, gave us a talk on his travels and demon- strated a remarkable ability in shooting a blow-gun. The P. T. A. sponsored a Valentine dance and it was free to all. The Dukes swinged and everybody joined in on the candy walks and Big Apple. (All did we say?) A large crowd attended the Founders ' Day Program given by the five P. T. A. ' s of Auburn. Raymond Willis delivered an inspiring address, The End of the Rainbow. Lincoln ' s and Washington ' s birthday celebrations were observed at one time. The speaker, brought from Fort Wayne by the History Club, gave an educational and interesting talk on the life of Lincoln in Indiana. We won in a thrilling overtime game with the Columbia City Eagles, 28-26. On the next night the Devils went to Warsaw and gave them the worst drub- bing of the season. Score, 47-34. On the 24th Murdock, the Magician, came and gave a demonstration of his mystic powers at noon-league and that evening and afternoon gave a regular performance. He even created ghosts and made them walk. In the last game of the season our team had an easy time defeating the Hartford City Airedales by a score of 37-29. Ray Scott, who was high with twelve points, was shooting for second place honors in the Northeastern In- diana Conference, but he was short just three points in his attempt to replace Kistler of Garrett in second place. However, he holds third place, which is a distinct honor. Page 37 The Bell Telephone man. Ho hum! Pretty tired. The first school dance. Noon League, again. MARCH The basketball season may be over for some but with the to urnaments just beginning, the course of study is greatly upset. In the sectional at Garrett the Red Devils were defeated by the Waterloo Wildcats, one of the strongest teams in the tournament. At the half our team was in the lead by a large margin, but the Wildcats began to scratch and won the game by three points. The winner of the sectional tournament was Garrett, who, however, was eliminated by Kendallville in the regional at Warsaw. South Side was the winner in the semi-finals and went on to win the state championship at Indianapolis. Five ministers from the Ministerial Association were presented to us on March 9. Mr. Fisher was the main speaker. On the 23rd we saw a sound film on Ground Water. Edward M. Dill gave an interesting demonstration on making pottery and gave the history of pottery making. His talk was entitled The Potter at the Wheel. Operetta tryouts were staged and practice was begun. From the chords and discords which we hear eminating from our Alma Mater daily, we ought to have a fine production. Page 38 You big bully! What ' s this, French? The business manager in one rare moment. Spring is here, Hurrah! APRIL The first days of April presented the spectacle of Zeke getting the track team in shape for the season. The boys look very efficient in their new sweat clothes. We listened to a musical program given by the band, orchestra, chorus and glee club in the little gym. The Easter vacation constituted a lull in our school life, from the 14th to the 19th. Dancing became the current subject when it was announced that there was to be another brawl down in the little gym at E astertide. On the 16th our track team went over to Garrett and competed against Kendallville and on the 23rd went to Howe. Miss Betty Robinson, the girl with two Olympic championships, demon- strated her skill before the entire assembly on the 26th. Golden voices filled the little gym with sweet harmonies when the oper- etta, The Fire Prince, was given on the 28th and 29th. This was Miss Mary Brandon ' s initial attempt at a stage production and was received very well. As usual April had a dampening effect on our spirits by its repeated cloudbursts, but the sun was shining when we went into the home stretch of the school year. Page 39 The Hamilton Picnic. The School Board at the Banquet. The teachers at the Banquet and Picnic. MAY We saw two movies to start off the last month, The Work of Running Water, and the Moving World. On the 7th the thinlies went down to North Side and participated in the Conference track meet. As the month of May drew to a close, pressure was applied to neglected studies so as to bring a happy ending to the year ' s work — and the Physics students strained to get those precious thirty experiments done. Baccalaureate services were held on the 22nd at the Methodist Church. Mr. Fisher, pastor of the Church of Christ, delivered the sermon. When the last of the Annual dues was paid, the school experienced the annual flood of the Follies and autograph hounds. (May I use your pen?) This year the boys and girls in their gay regalia went down to Fort Wayne for the gala event of the year, the Junior-Senior Banquet. On the 25th the townspeople and, of course, the Seniors gathered together for the passing of the buck — I mean sheepskin. This signified the termination of twelve years of work and gave those interested the right to go on in their search for knowledge. We all went up to Circle Park and ate our fill at the high school picnic, and the 1937-1938 school year was officially closed. Page 40 ACHWDMS ACTIVITIES My, My! I ' m running around like a chicken that ' s lost its head. This comes from too many extra-curricular activities and can easily be done in our school. Ask the editor; she learned it irom experience. The Greeks even had a word for it.

The faculty, although sometimes annoyed, allowed the stu- dents to leave classes for their pictures. Both major and minor staffs cooperated willingly and promptly. Rice ' s Studio did an excellent job on our photography again this year. The Fort Wayne Engraving Company did our engraving with many helpful suggestions, while covers were purchased from the Kover-Kraft Company. May I say that without the help of all these, this book might have been all Greek to me. We present to you the Follies of 1938. -M. L. Close Page 43 Top row: Hall, D. Schaab, Talbert, Engle, P.

Wf ' i Fit t a|S HONOR GROUP Each year the four students from each class who have maintained the highest average during the year are selected for the honor group. Since the modern schools offer a very wide field of subjects from which to make selec- tions, pupils have every opportunity to study what they want. This group is not an organized body like the clubs of the high school but is merely a representative body of scholastic standards. It gives the students who excelled scholastically a merited honor. This year ' s honor group consists of the following: Seniors: Martha Close, Willis Engle, Pierre Talbert and June Kuhlman; Juniors: Jane Hines, Peggy Hachet, Don Schaab and Frederick Hall; Sophomores: Paul Walter, Eleanor Mitchell, Paul Smith and Betty Steckley; Freshmen: Ann Alexander, Lois Mains, Betty Lou Schooley, Eva Beller, Henry Ford, and Feme Cripe.

INTERSCHOLASTIC GROUP To be a member of the interscholastic group means that the student has been excellent enough in certain subjects to compete in different contests. It is a coveted honor to be a member of this group. Those entering the local discussion contest were Roeine Garman, Betty Kreider, Tom McCrum, and Donald Newcomer. Roeine received first place, and Donald won second place, giving Roeine an opportunity to go to Fort Wayne and enter the District Contest. Lawrence Boger and Henry Ford represented Auburn in the District Al- gebra Contest, and Paul Smith entered the Geometry Contest. Neil McKenney placed first in the discussion contest for high school students sponsored by the Rotary Club. These people uphold the school ' s honor in other things besides sports. This is the only other group, besides athletics, which goes away from home to compete with other schools for honors. Auburn has always been well repre- sented and has a good record, competing with schools of many times her size. Roeine gives a Christmas reading. The Editor posing again. Page 45 Top row: Clark, H.

It ' s surprising that such a pleasing effect could come from the combination of sweet and sour tones. Some of their favorite numbers were: Polka Dots by Buchtel, novelty arrangement for three trumpets; Sunbeams by Richards, an alto saxophone solo; and Princess of India, by K. L. King. Their repertoire is made up of novelties, such as trombone smears, drum and bugle corps, piano concertos, and ac- cordion solos. In addition to the many outside activities, the orchestra plays for the Junior-Senior play and the operetta. Mr. Wilcox has combined the orchestra and band in an annual concert which is held in May. He has developed sections in many unusual instru- ments, such as the French horn, accordion, mellophone, and xylophone. This concert brings a good crowd of people every year from the vicinity and other towns and shows the ability of Pres Wilcox. Band in formation. Brown, Carmer, Close Trio. Page 46 Top row: H.

BAND How our hearts swell with pride when the band marches in front of us with their new uniforms. This has been one big year for the band. Their uniforms are black capes lined with red, white trousers, and caps with a monogrammed A on them. The uniform of Mr. Wilcox, the director, is gold and white; and that of the drum major, Bud Axtell, is done in red and white. The band ' s repertoire consists of standard marches, overtures, selections, and popular numbers. During the year they play for the Fall Fair, basketball and football games. One of the special attractions of the basketball games was the band march- ing between halves, making letters for the visiting and home teams. Their marching was excellent considering the short time they had for practice. Band at the fair and at the basektball games. Page 47 Top row: Renz, N. McDar- by, A. Mavis, Kleeman, Hess, D.

LETTERMEN One of the biggest thrills in a high school boy ' s life is to win one of the coveted awards given to the outstanding players in different sports. Football awards come in two different forms, a red chenille A and silver footballs. Silver footballs were given to seniors only, while members of all classes are eligible for a red A. Those receiving A ' s were N. McDarby, R. Scott, R. Renz, J. Tarter, P. Talbert, P. Rugman, S. Hines, L. Hess, G. Stebing, P. Muhn, R .Beaty, R. Potter, L. Wible, H. Craven, E. Rinehold, A. Mavis, A.

The boys take time out every so often to throw paper-wads or to sail airplanes. They have entertained various clubs and organizations in the vicinity with their favorite songs: Men of Harlech, Old Man River, Old King Cole, and The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers. ' As the result of singing for various clubs and organizations, under the direction of their very capable teacher, Miss Brandon, the boys have received a confidence and experience which have proved invaluable to the operetta. This group of young Carusos meets every Tuesday and Thursday morn- ings. Aside from singing various songs, they have also studied many of the great composers in the history of music. From all comments, it sounds as if it were quite interesting. I wish I were a boy! Katherine Mefford is to be congratulated on her willingness to come back this year and act as accompanist for this group. I daresay it has not proved dull. My! What hearty discords.

JUNIOR-SENIOR PLAY HE?E COMES CHARLIE Hold your hats folks for Here Comes Charlie. This was the title of the Junior-Senior Play presented December 1-2, 1937. The play was directed by Mr. Kenneth Ettner. Imagine the surprise of Larry Elliott, an up-and-coming business man, when the little boy he thought he was going to take care of turned out to be a girl of eighteen. It all started when a Hill-billy saved Larry ' s life. Larry promised to do anything the Hill-billy asked, and he asked Larry to take care of Charlie. Vivian is engaged to Larry but she refuses to marry him if he does not send Charlie away. Charlie refuses to go and scares Vivian with a paper knife. Aunt Fanny cannot get rid of her honestly and so she tries to frame Charlie by accusing her of stealing Mrs. Smythe-Kersey ' s pearls. Uncle Aleck, who has been turned into a butler, outsmarts her and turns the accusa- tion on Fanny herself. Uncle Aleck takes Charlie away to a finishing school. One year later Charlie comes back to attend a birthday party in her honor. Ted, Mortimer, and Larry are all in love with her. Uncle Aleck spills the beans and tells that Mrs. Smythe-Kersey was once an Ozarkean; Charlie chooses Larry, and the play ends with a grand march to dinner. Business staff: Martha Close, Virginia Smith, Naomi Kalb, Eva Rieke, and Wilmer Freeman. Student directors, Willidene Kimmell and Betty Kreider. Make-up was in charge of Miss Gladys Duguid.

Oh! Don ' t be alarmed for it is just the cast for the light opera given April 8-9. Love Pirates of Hawaii was directed by Miss Frances Moor. The clever lines were sung with the swing of professionals. Dorothy, an American girl, announces the arrival of a United States war- ship and a sailor, named Billy, in whom she is greatly interested. He is to come disguised as a Pirate. Miss Primer learns of Dorothy ' s plan. Suddenly a pirate chief and his band appear. Miss Primer, thinking they are but Americans in disguise, awes them and presses them into service as cooks. Meanwhile, Billy is captured as the real pirate. With the aid of Dorothy he escapes and goes for help to capture the real pirate chieftain. The pirate chief falls in love with Miss Primer, and Billy is free so that everybody is happy at the last sound of the ukuleles and the last whisper of aloha. The committees included: Business: Robert Potter, Wilmer Freeman, and Peggy Hachet; Hawaiian scenery: Miss Sellers and Miss Rubinette Rice; make-up: Miss Gladys Duguid and Miss Joanna Rhoads.

The girls stroll into Glee Club still munching the remainder of a snitched candy bar. This year the girls elected as their officers: Betty Mavis, president; Jeanne Collins, secretary-treasurer; and Betty Kreider, music-librarian. The Glee Club has entertained many clubs and organizations around Auburn with their favorite songs: Flower of Dreams, March of the Little Tin Soldiers, Venetian Love Song, To Spring, Tales from the Vienna Woods, and Dedication. Miss Brandon has built the girls ' voices into a beautiful piece of sweet har- mony and deep, rich color tones. Miss Brandon is new this year, but her win- ning personality and excellent voice have won the entire confidence of the music students. Ruth Shaffer was piano accompanist for the Glee Club this year. GIRLS ' CHORUS The The girls have practiced twice a week on Monday and Wednesday, chorus is made up of freshman and sophomore girls. This year Miss Brandon has introduced into their course of study: ear training, harmony, lives of famous composers, music fundamentals, and music appreciation. But the melody lingers on.

The sponsors are Misses Hudgel, Daw- son, and Clark. The group elected as its officers for the year: Willidene Kimmell, presi- dent; Jane Hines, vice president; Jean Rowley, secretary; and Dorothy Boren, treasurer. A group of the Garrett Girl Reserve came over and initiated the girls, January 5. On March 1 a Skating Party was held at the Silver Moon and was very successful. A Mother and Daughter Banquet was held April 12. The meetings were held the first Monday in every month at the Y. M. C. A. The meetings consisted primarily of the business meeting and talks. Girl Reserve is a sister to the Hi-Y, being a national organization and sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. The meeting will now come to order. Page 53 Top row: Newcomer, Hall, V. Lawhead, R.

HISTORY CLUB The purpose of the History Club is to promote interest in current, past, and possible future events, on the part of its members. The organization has completed a number of successful years with Mr. Weathers as sponsor. Those students interested in joining the club met late in the first semester and elected as their leaders: Wilmer Freeman, president; Lionel Fleming, vice president; Betty Mavis, secretary-treasurer; Virginia Smith, assistant; Ruth Shaffer, pianist; Jane Hines, assistant; Elizabeth Brown, song leader; and Jeanne Carmer, assistant. The committee chairmen for the year were Dor- eatha Fisher, Betty Kreider, Iris Pendland, Jeanne Carmer, and Tom McCrum. The club met every other Thursday at the Y. M. C. A. The first meeting of the year was a potluck. The remaining meetings of the year were composed chiefly of the business meeting, talks by students and people brought in from the outside, music, entertainment, movies, and refreshments. It held a Skat- ing Party at the Silver Moon on February 24. The outstanding achievement of the History Club was the purchase of shades for Mr. Weather ' s Room, which made it possible for movies to be shown. Movies at History Club. Page 54 Top row: N.

This active organization is composed of boys in the Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes. It is sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. and supervised by Mr. Harry Kreider and Mr. Kenneth Ettner. During the year the Hi-Y employed two methods of raising funds to meet some of their expenses, selling jello and sponsoring school dances. On March 15 a district convention was held here. Butler, Garrett, Angola, and Waterloo were represented. Mr. H. M. Messenger and Mr. Mel Carver of Indianapolis were the main speakers. The officers for the first semester were Lawrence Wible, president; Bob Beaty, vice president; Leonard Hess, secretary; and Adrian Mavis, treasurer. The officers elected at the beginning of the second semester were Lawrence Wible, president; Adrian Mavis, vice president; Leonard Hess, secretary; and Neil McKenney, treasurer.

HOME ECONOMICS Many students probably wish that they had taken home economics when they catch the tempting odors which issue from the foods laboratory. The club has thirty-one members under the supervision of Miss Cecile Hudgel, home economics instructor. The officers chosen for the year were Betty Poppele, president; Jean Hull, vice president; Phyllis Hampshire, secretary-treasurer; Helen Hawver, news reporter. Finances for the club activities were raised by selling candy at the basket- ball games and after school and by club dues. The club is affiliated with state and national Home Economics Clubs. Meetings were held once a month. Some of the outstanding activities of the year were a skating party at the Silver Moon, an F. F. A. party, a lecture by Dr. Bonnell Souder on ' Health, and a talk by Miss Lydia Sellers on Pottery. The Home Economics Club float. Page 56 Top row: G. Stebing, C. Beaty, R.

A.: George Cool, president; Robert Smith, vice president; James Habig, secretary; Deloss Culbertson, treasurer; Max Dilgard, watch dog. The meetings are held the third Wednesday of each month, usually in the Y. M. C. A. A social event of the year was a Valentine Party given for the members of the Home Economics Club. The week of the DeKalb County Free Fall Fair was a busy one for this organization. Besides furnishing a float for the school parade, many indi- vidual entries were made with highest awards being received by the following boys: Blake Smith, Keith Miller, Lawrence Boger, Roger Shull, and Max Green. Boys who won awards at the County Muck Crops show were Roger Shull, Glenn Gaff, James Graham, Glenn Stebing, Lawrence Boger, and Deloss Culbertson. The Auburn Chapter was successful in winning the County Pest Contest conducted with the chapters at Ashley, Butler, Garrett, and Waterloo. As a result they received a beautiful F. F. A. plaque. Father Hornaday and his brood. Page 57 ART GROUP ART GROUP Those students interested in art have an excellent opportunity to develop their talent under the capable leadership of Miss Sellers.

Under his excellent guid- ance the football squad turned in five victories, losing but two games. Zeke is a friend to all — a credit to any school. From the bottom of our hearts we wish you the best of luck, Zeke! COACH BROOKOVER Although this was Pete ' s first year as coach of the Auburn Red Devils basketball squad, his record will long be remembered. His friend- ship and popularity has increased by leaps and bounds since he has come to our city. Judging by this year ' s team, great things are ex- pected from him in the future. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Auburn High School Athletic Association is composed of members of the three sport squads and all students buying season basketball tickets. It is headed officially by Mr. Miller, the principal, and the officers who are elect- ed by the student body. Rex Renz was elected president; Iris Pendland, secre- tary; and Mr. Schooley, faculty treasurer. Hard work and faithfulness on the part of these helped to make athletics a greater success. The Girls ' Athletic Association also plays an important part in the sports activity of the school. This organization, which is advised by Miss Wilma Duff, girls ' physical educational teacher, actively engages in girls ' sports. Elizabeth Brown was elected president by the members. Mr. Schooley Iris Pendland Page 62 Pierre Talbert Robert Potter Glen Stebing Raymond Scott CAPTAINS, MANAGERS AND YELL LEADERS After the football season was over, two captains, one backfield and one line, were selected by the squad. Pierre Talbert, was elected line captain. Shifty Raymond Scott, who played quarter-back on the Auburn eleven, was chosen backfield captain. These two boys deserved this honor not only for their fine play on the qridiron but also for their sportsmanlike attitude. Last year ' s track squad elected as its captain, Earl Carr. Earl deserved this honor for his spectacular record-breaking run in the 200 yard low hurdles at the sectional. Chris Burns was elected track manager. His duties were numerous, but he performed them well. Bob Mark and Bette Myers were again our yell leaders. Their pep and enthusiasm aided greatly in bringing victory to the Auburn teams. Bob Potter, who was football team manager and Zeke ' s right hand man, did a great job in keeping the fellows supplied with their needed equipment. Glen Stebing was chosen by Coach Brookover to take care of the basket- ball equipment. He proved to be a capable manager. Chris Burns Robert Mark Bette Myers Earl Cc Page 63 Rugman G. Stebing P.

With two weeks practice the Auburn Red Devils traveled to Columbia City turning in an impressive 30-0 victory under the floodlights. The following Friday night the team journeyed to Decatur where they annexed their second straight victory, 26-0. The third game of the season was played on the Howe Military gridiron. The Red Devils were pushed hard but edged a 7-6 victory. Although the first home game was played in a constant drizzle, a large crowd of fans witnessed a 6-0 decision for the Red Devils over Bluffton. The Auburn eleven was smothered by a powerful running and passing attack as the Central Tigers handed them a stinging 35-6 defeat. In the third home game of the season the Red Devils thoroughly trounced the Hicksville, Ohio, football eleven by the score of 40-0. For the first time in five years the Garrett Railroaders established their supremacy on the football field by a score of 31-14. Carr R. White E Rinehold Renz Tarter Culler D. Schaab Page 64 N.

Leonard Hess, Pierre Talbert, and Stanley Hines received theirs previously. Get ' em boys. Page 65 BASKETBALL RAYMOND SCOTT— Scottie — Guard Although Scottie was a pack of dynamite on the offense, he never neglected his defense. He had the knack of dropping them in when they were most needed. REX RENZ— Hutch — Center Hutch believes that singing during time in action improves his game. Evident proof of this was shown by his excellent playing as regular center on the first five. PIERRE TALBERT— Pete — Guard Although this was Pete ' s first year on the varsity, he played the game like a veteran. He was never troubled by the other fellows pushing him around. LAWRENCE WIBLE— Wimpy — Forward Wimpy, a cool and steady player, proved to be one of Auburn ' s best forwards. He would make points when they were most needed, thus pushing Auburn on to victory. DON REYNOLDS— Don — Guard Don will be remembered for his accurate long shots from the center of the floor. He will see more action next year. Page 66 BASKETBALL WALTER KLEEMAN— Walt — Forward Although Walt was not always the highest scorer, his cool and steady playing figured largely in the team ' s success. One-handed shots were his specialties. STANLEY HINES— Stan — Forward Stan is small but has plenty of drive both on defense and offense. He should prove useful next year. HOWARD CRAVEN— Hod — Guard Hod ' s height and long arms made it pos- sible for him to break up many passes. He also had a habit of hitting long shots from the center of the floor. WILLIAM OWENS— Bill — Forward Bill, the only Sophomore on the team, came to us from Bedford. Having two more years to play, he is expected to do great things. LEONARD HESS— Gable — Center Clark saw a lot of action this year and helped the team on to victory. His height made him valuable under the basket. Page 67 The sectional tourney. The second team practices. BASKETBALL The week following the close of football season found the Auburn Red Devils, under the direction of Coach Wilbur Brookover, being worked into condition for the first game. Showing lack of practice, the Red Devils dropped the first game at Ash- ley, 30-17. In the first home game of the season the Auburn five trounced the Albion ball club by a one-sided score, 35-12. The following week the Red Devils traveled to Central Catholic and squeezed out a victory in the last two minutes of play, 26-23. The Red Devils proved their superiority the following week by trimming the Butler Windmills by a score of 21-15. In Auburn ' s initial North Eastern Indiana Conference game they chalked up their fourth straight win against Bluffton by a score of 32-23. The Leo Lions defeated the locals at the Alumni Gym in a rough, fast, and exciting game, 31-26. The Kendallville Comets fell before the dribbling and passing attack of the Auburn five, placing Auburn on top of the heap in the North Eastern Indiana Conference with two victories against no defeats. The score was 27-19. A thrilling rally staged in the last few minutes of the game with South Side fell short three points as the varsity five dropped their first conference tilt by a score of 29-26. The Red Devils returned from Kendallville on the short end of a 33-24 score. The team journeyed to Huntington to play Township, which team was formerly coached by Wilbur Brookover. The final score was 29-20 in favor of the Red Devils. The following week the varsity five handed the Central Tigers of Fort Wayne a stinging 28-22 defeat. j«. At the tourney at Garrett.

In a see-saw battle at the Alumni Gym the Auburn Red Devils emerged victorious over the New Haven Bulldogs, 28-26. The Auburn Red Devils dropped a close decision to their old rivals, the Garrett Railroaders, by a score of 36-33 on the Garrett floor. Against the Angola Hornets, Coach Brookover used the entire reserve team for the first half. The game ended 33-27 in favor of Auburn. The Auburn Red Devils nearly upset the highly-touted North Side Redskins of Fort Wayne in a North Eastern Indiana Conference engagement. A spec- tacular rally in the last stage of the game turned defeat into a 37-35 victory for the Fort Wayne five. The Auburn five defeated the LaGrange Lions to the tune of 44-39. Two overtime periods were reguired before the Red Devils were successful in downing the Columbia City Eagles. The final score was 28-26. The following night the Auburn five displayed an unbeatable type of ball as they overwhelmed the strong Warsaw Tigers by a score of 47-34. In the last game of the season the Red Devils emerged victorious over the Hartford City Airedales, the score being 37-29. I TOURNAMENTS The Red Devils dropped the first game of the Sectional Tournament held at Garrett to a fast and clever Waterloo five. A twelve point lead, held by the Auburn boys at one time, was not enough to hold the Wildcats from staging a spectacular rally. The Garrett Railroaders were sufficiently rested to defeat the Waterloo Wildcats in the final game of the tourney. In the Regional Tournament held at Warsaw, Kendallville represented this section in the semi-finals held at Muncie. South Side won the state champion- ship at Indianapolis.

These Imps cracked the ice with a victory over Ashley, 44-25. Adding an- other scalp to their belts they defeated Albion, 31-12, in the second game of the season. But Alas and Alack. The locals slipped a cog and lost to Central Catholic, 24-19. But staging a rally, the locals came back with three straight victories: Butler, 17-7; Bluffton, 14-13, and Leo, 20-19. Coming up against a stone wall, the second team was defeated by Ken- dallville with a score of 23-19. Making up for their loss, these little demons succeeded in routing South Side, 15-12. But again the locals were defeated by Kendallville, 11-10. And again they retreated from Huntington Township, 19-16. The world was all right again when the Imps won from Central of Fort Wayne, 21-17. But deep gloom penetrates the air as the boys met three straight defeats at the hands of Decatur, 19-17; New Haven, 17-14, and Garrett, 31-17. They ' re up again! They defeated Angola, 20-13. Now they ' re down! The Imps were defeated by North Side, 33-16. They ' re now building up to a great let-down, maybe. Just like that, 1-2-3, they defeated LaGrange, 23-10; Columbia City, 22-20; Warsaw, 19-16. But in the last game of the season they were outclassed and lost to Hart- ford City, 21-15. The Imps leave a good record of 1 1 victories and 9 defeats for the season of ' 37- ' 38. Second team in Spring practice. Page 70 Bottom row: B. Beaty, R. Mclnturi, R. Sisson, A. Mavis, R.

NOON LEAGUE AND INTERCLASS BASKETBALL For the past few years Noon League and Interclass Basketball have been the principal means of entertainment for the students during the noon hour. This year the activities were under the direction of Mr. Ettner. The Noon League captains were chosen, and they in turn picked their teams. The ten captains this year were as follows: Willis Engle, Glen Ste- bing, Ed Richards, Bob Potter, Bob Beaty, Joe Burton, Ted Owens, Bob Mclnturf, Lyndon Smith, and Russell Sisson. The champion Noon League team was composed of Captain Bob Potter, Adrian Mavis, Archie Kirkpatrick, George Renner, Don Lochner, Dick Wil- liamson, and Eugene Thomas. In a tournament held for Noon League teams after the scheduled games had been played, Potter ' s team won over Burton ' s team in the final game. In the Interclass division the Senior team proved too strong for the under- classmen. The Senior team was composed of B. Mclnturf, B. Beaty, B. Potter, Ed Richards, R. Sisson, W. Engle, G. Stebing, and L. Smith. Noon League players and officials. Page 71 ■MteJbni Gingrich G.

The Auburn boys outclassed Waterloo at this meet by a score of 61-30. In the second track meet Zeke ' s boys proved victorious over Howe Mil- itary Academy, 78-37. The contest with Garrett was a thriller, but the Auburn boys proved their superiority by defeating the Railroaders, 60-55. The Mcintosh High School athletes defeated the Albion track team by a rather one-sided score, 79-36. In the sectional meet held at North Side of Fort Wayne, Earl Carr qualified for the state track meet. He ran the 200 yard low hurdles in 24.4 seconds to lower the mark of 24.7 seconds hung up by Brown of Central in 1936. The track meet at Garrett. Page 72 i • ' «? % 1 ' il Beidler G.

The officers selected to lead the activities of the organization were Eliza- beth Brown, president; Jeanne Trader, vice president; Veva Martin, secretary; Betty Steckley, treasurer; and Doreen McClintock, sport head. Miss Wilma Duff, the girls ' physical education teacher, was the sponsor. The association has had two successful bake sales in order to earn funds to meet some of its expenditures. Two parties were held, a Kid Party and the annual Christmas party. The organization has established several traditions which are looked for- ward to by its members. Each spring a banquet is held at which the awards The G. A. A. Float. Monday nights and basketball. Page 74 Top row: Snepp, Rieke, D. McClintock, Mendenhall, B.

There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave, There are souls that are pure and true; Then give to the world the best you have, And the best will come back to you. This simple little poem seems to describe fully Earl ' s ambition in life. Earl, who was better known by his school mates as Stretch, was one of Auburn ' s best all around athletes. On October 30, in the last football game of the season, Stretch was hurt and suffered injuries to which he succumbed three days later. Stretch was born in Auburn, March 13, 1920. He was liked by all who knew him, and his absence is felt deeply. We of the Follies offer this humble tribute to his par- ents, relatives, and his innumerable friends. (That such an accident should happen to one of our number is some- thing none of us may understand, but his example will lead us on to better and higher achievements).

STOWAWAY IS FOUND ON BUS Davis Caught on Luxuri- ous Liner Jason, disguised as Snow White and the Sev- en Dwarfs, was discover- ed on the Dachshund. This super-super bus was purchased from Corbins ' — dealers in superior junk, Waterloo, Indiana. (This is the famous give and take junk yard.) The picture shows Ti- ny Davis originating his idea. The car looks a lit- tle small for Tiny ' s as- pirations, and so he imme- diately calls on his mob for assistance. This gang was identified as the Au- burn High Red Devils, in- cluding Cutie Scott, Pretty Boy Renz, Toot- sie Wible, Slugger Klee- man, and Grandstand Craven. With these as- sistants Tiny Davis plan- ned his trip to Columbia City. Their first move was to secure a larger contain- er for Tiny. It was de- cided that he should be carefully wrapped in cel- lophane and placed in the satchel of Pretty Boy Renz. At the appointed hour a hush came over the city of Auburn. A sort of calm before storm at- mosphere prevailed. A great crime was about to be committed. The mob, silent, stern, and sinister, marched slowly into the Dachshund. Pretty Boy ' ' Renz, carefully guarding the satchel containing Ti- ny, entered the bus. He received, however, a slight setback when, on entering the bus, he failed to stoop high enough and prompt- ly hit his skull. Only minor Jason Eyes His Future Transport. injuries were suffered — a slight dent in the door of the bus. The never say die spirit of Pretty Boy prevailed, and he entered that most magnificent bus of all busses, the Dachs- hund. When the gang was all settled comfortably in the bus, the driver loudly yell- ed, Let her go, men! and go she did. The Dachs- hund with all the power in her started. The re- markable thing about this bus is it starts immediately — especially when running down hill. The engine on- ly dropped out twice be- fore the start, and with a groan of joy she leaped into action — going nearly 17 84 16 miles per day. All this time the mighty Jason was gasping for air in Pretty Boy ' s satch- el. Finally, he was un- able to stand it any long- er, and he did it. Yes, he betrayed his mob. The gang that had done so much for him, too. He un- zipped the satchel and poked out his head. Not realizing the danger of such an act, Tiny even went as far as to wave at Pretty Boy. Imagine his utter delight in finding the object of his affections to be Supt. H. L. McKen- ney. Now we encounter a lit- tle difficulty. Pierre Tal- bert, knov n as the myster- ious man with the red tou- pee, became confused. Samson, as he is known to his intimates (not in- mates), lost sight of his left leg. He saw his arm someplace in the distance, and his right leg was found cramped under Tootsie Wible ' s nose. Wasn ' t it a good thing Tootsie had a cold and couldn ' t smell that day? Anyway, Sam- son, try as he might, could not find his left leg. He was sure he brought it along — he usually did. But where could it have disap- peared? This was most un- fortunate for the gang be- cause it was the clue that led to Jason ' s capture by those iwo detectives — Clancy Weathers and Hawk-Shaw Brookover. They had suspected some- thing from the start, but they had such a time get- ting started they forgot what they suspected. All was well with Tiny and his mob until Clancy spotted a peculiar object protruding from the pock- et of What-a-Man Hess. Clancy examined the dark object in Hess ' pock- (Continued on next page) Page 77 THE SATURDAY SNICKER TRIO RETURNS FROM EXPEDITION Daring Explorers Return From Wilds of Laotto Those three hunters of great fame have just com- pleted another of their ex- peditions. They are Crack-Shot Beaty, Trig- ger Taibert, and Dead- Eye Wible, who have won fame by doing what no other explorers have dared to do — or wanted to — actually explore the v ilds of Laotto. Having nothing else to do but lessons, these three gathered supplies for their dangerous trip. A gun, a bone, and a hank of hair were their only weapons against the dangers they were sure to encounter. Walking cautiously, Trigger Taibert picked up the first scent. Having no dog, Taibert was the only logical substitute. We repeat — with nose to the ground, Trigger picked up the first cent. Beaty had dropped the coin to see how good Taibert real- ly was. They have only a few of their scents — we sense a pun here — it smells. Convinced Trigger Taibert could do the job, the hunters pushed on- ward. The trail was lost, and they had to cut their way through dense under- brush. This foliage con- sisted of two blades of tough grass, one stick of huge size (three inches), one thorn, and two leaves. The remarkable thing was that only Dead-Eye Wi- ble received injuries. He fainted with blood drip- ping from his finger, caus- ed by a splinter. When his wound was dressed, the brave three plodded on- ward. Because of the ter- rific hardships they endur- ed, each had to rest at this point (besides they were tired). When their adven- ture was resumed, their motto became Laotto or Bust. Boys, we must bring ' em back alive. In. this great jungle we must all sack together. If one of us sees a rare animal — like, say a rabbit — speak up and we ' ll all shoot him. This timely advice was given by Crack-Shot Beaty as he never sees any, anyway. All agreed to this, and their journey was continued. Then it happened — that for which they had waited so long. Dead-Eye Wible actual- ly saw a rabbit! With a hand that trembled from excitement, Dead - Eye raised his double-barrell- ed shotgun. He took aim, shut both eyes, and pulled the trigger all at once. In his excitement he acciden- tally shot his own hat off. Well, could he help it if the gun was pointed the wrong way? After such hard la- bor, Wible wiped the sweat from his brow and gave over to his col- leagues. Quickly, Crack- Shot Beaty came to the rescue. Pointing his gun with utmost care, he took aim. His eyes, narrowed with stern determination, crossed at a 70 degree an- gle and pop! Too bad he only brought his pop gun. Poor Beaty spent the rest of the trip hunting the cork from his gun. Trig- ger Taibert now proved his worth (four cents and one slug). He drew his gun — took aim with a steady hand and fired! By this time the rabbit was gone anyway and so poor Taibert retired defeated. However, even this did not discourage these brave men. Undaunted in spirit they yelled, Laotto or Bust. If they couldn ' t even ' bring ' em back dead, ' they decided to bring ' em back any way they could. Quiet, yelled Crack- Shot Beaty. What ' s the matter? I heard something, re- plied Beaty. Then it came again — a loud squeak. It sent chills up and down their spines. It made their hair stand on end. This loud, strange squeak made each turn cold with fear — besides it was cold out- side. The loud squeal was heard again and Trig- ger Taibert cried, After him, men — after him! They advanced three (Continued on next page) Stowaway Found on Bus et and found it to be the missing foot of Samson Pierre. While restoring Samson ' s foot, Clancy accidentally tripped over Pretty-Boy ' s satchel. Then the jig was up. Tiny was discovered. With a stern look arrests were made and the career of Davis as a stowaway was ended. (Continued within the next hundred years if we get time).

The king is dead. (Long live the king!) The man of the hour is Mugs Myers. Saturday evening Mugs was aroused from his sleep by Egbert Revere, the young- er brother of the more fa- mous Paul. Mugs at first was immune to the deaf- ening noise made by Eg- bert as he beat his head against the door. But be- fore an hour had passed, Mugs was up and doing his exercises. Egbert in- formed Myers that Grit- ty was coming after him to get revenge for his threat that he would wipe out Newville ' s underworld. Myers donned his smok- ing jacket and sat down to read the newspaper, but immediately climbed to the attic. With his good eye he peered off into the darkness. In the distance he could see Gritty com- ing down the road on a handcar, holding a bag of cream puffs in one hand. Mugs remembered the British, one if by rowboat and two if by scooter, but Sands had crossed him up and so he hung three lanterns in the window. Mugs ran downstairs and grabbed his trusty bag of cream puffs. They were said to have been used by General Grant in his battle against B. O. He marched into the street just as Gritty appeared on the scene. Then there took place the most puffy battle the world has ever known. Spectators to the Gritty Sands and Mugs ' Myers right of them, spectators to the left of them — stormed at by cream and puff as handcar and hero fell — slung the both of them. Mugs was wounding Gritty right and left with the true aim he had ac- guired while playing cow- boy and Indian. Einally with the loss of too much sleep, Gritty went down for the count of ten. This incident brought to a close another thrilling episode of Mugs Myers ' career as one of Pelven Murvis ' s Ace G-men. Mugs received a liberal reward from the govern- ment for his daring feat and will retire to his estate in Auburn Junction ove r- looking the majestic wa- ters of West Creek. Returns from Expedition abreast and with guns raised — all fired at once. They all hit! (Fooled you, didn ' t we?) Going over to examine their prey, they found it to be a ferocious gray mouse.

Crack- Shot Beaty fainted from the horrible sight, and Trigger Talbert was so frightened his hair chang- ed colors. (It is now or- ange.) Dead-eye Wible lost a finger which the mouse bit off. He commit- ted that horrible breach of etiguette of sticking his fin- ger in the mouth of his prey. However, they gath- ered together what was left of the gray mouse and brought him back from the wilds of that dangerous country in which it had lived since infancy. When they returned home, a large crowd greet- ed them — two men and one gentleman. This cheer- ing crowd viewed the great and strange specie the hunters had brought back. This animal had, heretofore, been unheard of, and so each hunter was acclaimed a hero. Each was given a tin medal and put in the museum of freaks of nature.
