So many ( things clamor to be seen and done, that, with all our facilities for getting places fast, we simply haven ' t enough time to do them all. A while ago, it really didn ' t matter whether we got there today or tomorrow . . . we had all year ahead. But with the invention of the airplane, automobile, and mighty ocean-going steamers, time has been squashed flat, stretched out, knocked into a cocked hat. Men cross the continent between morning and night, and messages flash around the world on the breadth of a second. In school, more than anywhere else, time is important. There are so many different things to do, in such a short while, that very few moments are left to be dallied away. So, with the present time-conscious world in mind, we present an annual with time as its theme . . . swift, efficient, panoramic time ? ..

Faculty and -students work together for further study and re- search. Classes teach more than history and science; they teach the carefully planned and bud- geted use of time to the best advantage. Because they work together, we present the administration and classes in one group. Page 7 DR. A. V. HINES MR. H. L. McKENNEY MR. B. O. SNEPP MR. R. W. CARLSON 1 ' SCHOOL BOARD HE members of the School Board of Auburn High School are its ' clock winders. It is they who keep things going, see that state laws of education are enforced, and make up the budget for the Auburn schools. The three men on the board represent every quality — moral, physical, financial and educational knowledge — needed for guidance, supervision, and administration of school affairs. Mr. B. O. Snepp is president of the board, and his financial and executive records in the annals of the Auburn Automobile Company lend him the ability to fill this position better than anyone else. Dr. A. V. Hines, a graduate of Auburn High School and a well-known surgeon and physician, acts as treasurer of the board, and indeed, is well qualified to do so. He is also an adviser in all health matters. Mr. R. W. Carlson, employed by the Auburn Rubber Company, is the secre- tary of the School Board, and fills his post with complete ability. While not officially a member of this group, Mr. H. L. McKenney is its executive officer. He has had extensive training, and has been superintendent of the Auburn schools for many years. He is popular with students and faculty and can help in all educational questions, for he is well informed in all phases of this field. These men do their utmost to promote the well-being and progress of the schools, and but for them, who knows if the Auburn schools might not have stopped long agol n Page 8 ADMINISTRATION Two changes were made in the facuhy this year. Miss Opal Delancey took the place of Miss Clark as instructor of typing, and Mr. Herman Berns joined our ranks as basketball coach and teacher of safety and social sciences. Both have made for themselves a permanent place in the Auburn High School ' s good- book, and both have filled their places with adeptness and ability. In the middle of the school year. Miss Cecile Hudgel amazed everyone with the sudden announcement that she had become Mrs. Charles Nearing. Several changes were made in administration also. A new system of fire- drills was inaugurated at the suggestion of the state fire marshal. It in- cluded a series of bell-signals, each indicating one of three exit routes. Drills were found to be very satisfactory. FACULTY SOCIAL SCIENCE AND FINE ARTS MR. LLOYD MILLER A. B., A. M. — Principal and Social Science University of Michigan MR.

Mrs. B. O. Snepp was president of the organization, and Mrs. Carl Wimer and Mrs. Noah Yoder were treasurer and secretary, respectively. Other of- ficers were Mrs. Ralph Wible, Mrs. Wayne Smith, and Mr. Lloyd Miller. Safety was added as a required subject to the school ' s curriculum. All students who have not formerly taken this study must add it to their list of graduation requirements. Civics was also made a requisite for graduation. Formerly, this subject was demanded only of seniors who had not taken citi- zenship in their freshman year. FACULTY SCIENCE AND LANGUAGE MR. DONALD COAR A. B. — Mathematics M.

He has had great cooperation from the class officers: Bud Axtell, president; Dick Thomas, vice-president; Demaris Hardy, secretary; Eleanor Mitchell, treasurer. A. H. S. would be lost without the juniors ' They have added to athletics, dramatics, and music.

A A. and Glee Club the girls have shown their ability. They were represented on the honor group by Eleanor Mitchell, Paul Smith, Paul Walter, and Herbert Noren. Some of them were musically inclined — Doreen McClintock, Betty Williams, Martha Brown, Betty Steckley, Marjorie Ketcham, and Veva Martin are some of these. They staged a very successful junior carnival, and now they are deep in plans for the biggest-gayest-bestest banquet ever given. Huh? Private conversation X Page 25 First row: Hidy, H. Barley, F.

They were seldom still long enough to be counted, but we suspect that there are at least ninety of them. They are everywhere, doing everything. They put on school dances, and were found in play, operetta, and double octets. Miss Dawson led their peppy antics with superior skill. When their turn came to elect officers, they chose Noel Muhn, president; Bob Garman, vice-president; Denny McDarby, secretary; and Feme Gripe, treasurer. Although the sophomores of any high school are often referred to as the forgotten class, this group gave no one the opportunity to forget THEM. They have had their fingers in nearly every A. H. S. pie. They even went one better than the other three classes by having two cars in the Free Fall Fair parade. There are plenty of athletes m this fast-stepping class. Ernie Foltz, Bob Eckhart, Bob Garman, Arthur Muzzillo, George Broderick, Roy Carlson, and Melvin Knisely earned recognition, and Denny McDarby, that giant sopho- more, did fine work on the first team. Tipping them in from underneath was his best shot. Musical sophs What ' s that you ' re wearing? Page 26 First row: V. Seigel, R. Robbins, W. Woolever, B. Walter, H. Mitchner, R.

Short, Swartz, Cripe, and Buchanan will be glad to put on any kind of skit (crazy or otherwise) at a moment ' s notice. Sophomore girls active in G. A. A. were Hilda Mitchner, Gretchen Myles, Betty Schaab, Megan Farnham, Betty Schooley, Ann Alexander, Barbara Short, Feme Cripe, Skip Swartz, and Judy Buchanan. Henry Ford and Lawrence Boger took part in Boys ' Chorus, and did their part in the operetta. Many of the girls song in the Glee Club. Some of them are studying agriculture and home economics. The sophomore decorations have become quite famous. Their clever ideas, and their happy knack of hanging paper around with real art, always made their floats and tables a real hit. This lively class is represented on the honor group by Feme Cripe, Betty Schooley, Henry Ford, and Ann Alexander. Two big years are ahead for the sophomores.

FRESHMAN CLASS Wherever there was anything going on, there were freshmen to be found. They came into school on the first day with lots of spirit, and after a certain amount of aimless wandering about the halls, they accustomed themselves to the life of Auburn High School and began to get acquainted. The newcomers were led through the maze of their first year by their adviser, Mr. Berns. They went completely masculine when it came to class officers, and chose Bill McComb, president; Harry Kreider, vice-president; Gene Wiley, treasurer; and Bill Scott, secretary. They have entered willingly and ably into all the school activities that were open to them. Many have already made a name for themselves, and more is expected from them in the three years to come. Many of them took up the study of agriculture or home economics, and already have laid a sturdy foundation for future work. In athletics the class was represented by Bill Scott, Bill McComb, Mark Casebeer, Paul Daub, Bob Hofferman, Bob Quance, Bernard Kelly, and Ronald Pfister.

FRESHMAN CLASS Nancy Woodbury, Beverly Gonser, Marjorie Rice, Thelma Tallen, Ruth Mitchner, June Cupp, Helen Dicks, Ruth Ann Russell, Phyllis Armstrong, Jane Niles, Betty McNabb, Gloria Davis, and Pat Kain have been active in sports. Many of the freshman girls went in for music. Jane Seigel, Joan Myers, Mable Humbert, Ruth Tarter, Betty Kayser, June Cupp, Joan, Miller, Betty McNabb, Thelma Tallen, Marjorie Hersh, Helen Dicks, Nancy Woodbury, Ruth Graham, and Virginia Grubb were active in glee club and chorus, and some of the boys were in the Boys ' Chorus. This class was represented on the honor group by Harry Kreider, Ruth Graham, Mark Casebeer, and Beverly Gonser. Yes, we agree that this class of 42 is one which will bear watching in the next three years.

This remark was heard in the assembly after four o ' clock during the week following the be- ginning of school. Here are the results. Don Newcomer was elected president of the senior class, with Mary John- son as his able helper, and Virginia Smith and Naomi Kalb were chosen secretary and treasurer respectively. Mr. Weathers was re-elected as ad- viser, and everyone prepared for another memorable year. The juniors elected Bud Axtel to serve as their president and Dick Thomas as vice-president. They re-elected Demaris Hardy and Eleanor Mitchell for secretary and treasurer. Mr. Coar is their adviser, and has carried them through a happy round of junior activities. The sophomore officers are Noel Muhn, president; Bob Gorman, vice-presi- dent; Dennis McDarby, secretary; and Feme Cripe, treasurer. These officers and their adviser, Miss Dawson, have made the sophomore school year a very successful one. The freshmen chose four boys as their officers: Bill McComb, president; Harry Kreider, vice-president; Gene Wiley, treasurer; and Bill Scott, secretary. Mr. Berns, a newcomer himself, aided and abetted the new class in their activities. Advisers looking very thoughtful Page 30 SCHOOL Lift iJ- 0 ' XP - , ' SCHOOL LIfC I . — - N today ' s school life, time is an ever present factor. There is always a mad scramble to be on time. The days pass quickly, each more exciting than the last, and time fairly flies. Our modern school is so different from that of even a few years ago . , . new faces, new teachers, new curricu- lum, and new methods . . . that each year is far behind as soon as it has gone. The following pages present a picture of our present-day, swift- moving school life. Page 31 To and from school Some game Registration Between halves SEPTEMBER 6. With the eUte of the high school (the seniors) emulating Two Sleepy People, and the new crop of freshmen doing Corrigans, school started the day after Labor Day. Much to the dismay of the teachers, there was an increase of 35 in the enrollment, making the total 356. This year saw two new teachers on the faculty, also. Miss DeLancey replaced Miss Clark in the typing department and Junior Berns filled Pete Brookover ' s shoes (what a jobl) in sophomore history and as coach. 7. Today the senior class met after school and chose Donald Newcomer as their captain in this last strenuous struggle on the home stretch. 9. Jane Hines was selected to represent Auburn High in the beauty contest for the Harvest Queen of the DeKalb County Fair. 16. A half holiday! We didn ' t get out of school; but since this was Con- stitution Day, Pop Dictator Weathers drafted five seniors who, re- gardless of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, gave speeches before the assembly. These citizens were D. Newcomer, B. Ford, V. Smith, R. Titler, and D. Schaab. 17. Today Columbia City came to A.uburn to compete in our first football game. The final score was Auburn 13 — Columbia City 0. 22. An assembly was called today to present the first of our educational series of films. It was entitled, The Work of Rivers. 24. Eureka! Another victory for Auburn High won by the eleven men. Decatur was beaten today by a score of 21 to 13. 28. Eats was the main theme of the big annual P.-T. A. supper held in the Alumni Gymnasium tonight. Page 32 I Junior carnival How ' s business Pep session Go on in there and OCTOBER 1. This being the first of the month the boys just couldn ' t help starting it off right with a victory over Hovi e Military. When the final gun cracked, the score stood at Auburn 12, How e Military 0. 4. Jcme Hines, a prominent member of the school, was today crowned Harvest Queen of the current fair. 5. The second on the list of educational films scheduled for this year con- cerned the wonders worked by solidified water and was entitled The Geological Work of Ice. 8. This year ' s fair is reported to be the best ever, but it took its toll just the same. Today we journeyed to Bluffton and lost by a humiliating score of 50 to 0. 13. A much improved method of fire drills, which was suggested by Mr. Kelly, a representative of the State Fire Marshal ' s office, in his visit to the school yesterday, was inaugurated this morning. 14. Tonight the freshmen v ere given a royal welcome at the Freshman Reception, on annual affair given in the Little Gym. The seniors put on a radio quiz by way of entertainment; the juniors supplied the eats; and the sophs decorated the gym. 15. Today, Fort Wayne obtained one of those rare victories over us when we visited them. The final score was Auburn 13, Central 29. 22. The most recent victory is over Hicksville, and it ' s 19 to 0. 26. This was a week of strenuous work putting up stands, decorations, and amusement devices; practicing plays; and in general welding together the essentials of a Junior Carnival. The doors opened tonight at eight o ' clock. 28. Hold your hats; here comes the report on the final score from that bat- tle of the year, the Auburn-Garrett clash. It was a bitterly fought strug- gle but nothing could stop us, nothing. You ' re right, nothing to nothing was the score. Page 33 NOVEMBER 3. Every one seems to be wondering who all the strange men running around in the halls and in and out of classes are, but don ' t be scared, they are only a delegation of superintendents who are rating the school. 7. The football squad was honored tonight by the Lions Club. Mr. Hackett of station WOWO, Fort Wayne, was the speaker. 8. Even though we ' re not twenty-one we can vote! This being the 8th, we held the climax to a week of vigorous propaganda-spreading through- out the school, by holding an election in which the Republicans won by a slight but decisive majority. 11. A one minute silence was observed today in remembrance of Armistice. 18. This system of pushing in a ball and hitting the jackpot of another vic- tory is quite simple. Consequently Huntington Township didn ' t have a chance when they mixed with us. It was a pushover to the tune of 39 to 16. 23. This evening, the boys being m a good mood, played Ferdinand the Bull with Butler. While Butler sat under their goal post and smelled the flowers, just quietly we threw the bull for a score of 23 to 12. 24-25. Thanksgiving shortened this week to three days much to the sorrow of the pupils. 25. This evening we stalked the Bluffton Tigers with that bring- ' em-back- alive spirit, but it must have been just a pipe dream because it was burst when they beat us 25 to 26. 30. To get on easy start, the play practiced a matinee on the Junior High pupils yesterday afternoon and gave a regular performance tonight. The Australian system But where are the people? Get him. Mavis Armistice Day Page 34 DECEMBER 1. Those who did not go last night were entitled to see that memorable play, Skidding, this evening. The most popular and talented star was Hessaba, the feline girl with a career. Everyone adored her round green eyes except Mr. Ettner who developed the snorkles. 2. After a meek pep session the Red Devils went forth to meet the Leo Lions, and by skillful basketball they won 37 to 34. 8. The Annual staff was elected, and now many seniors have something to worry about besides Weather ' s oppressive assignments and his eagle eye for chewing gum. Their motto: A bigger and better Annual or bust! is a promise of what is to come. 9. An assembly and a fire drill seemed to completely exhaust the team. Kendallville walked away with a ten point victory. 12. As a bit of a let up in the strain of school, Mr. Hornaday and ten of his loyal F. F. A. boys attended a banquet at Garrett. 15. Several of our more ambitious students competed in a contest held in the Alumni Gymnasium by the Boxing Club this evening. 16. The assembly this morning proved to be just a big build up for a mam- moth let down. South Side was directly responsible for the score of 27 to 42 which leered at us from the score board. 22. The Red Devils journeyed to Kendallville for another battle with the Comets this evening. Thanks to a quiet day with no assemblies or fire drills, we gained, revenge by a victory of three points. 23. As a send-off for the big Christmas vacation, a program was held this afternoon in the auditorium. Everyone surprisingly seemed glad to see the vacation come. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Practice I ' ll take vanilla A gym class Let us pray Page 35 Come on now, yelll Graceful, aren ' t they? Just one of many snowy days Look at the dent in the fender 3 11 JANUARY 6. Decatur became another sorrowing rival of ours this evening because of the 40 to 30 score we slipped over on them. 8. The team surely established their rating in the hard fought game with Central last night. We won, finally, 42 to 41. 10. The Boys ' Chorus was excused in the morning to render a few choice selections for the entertainment of a group of business men at the court house assembly room.. 11. The fifth in the series of educational films for this year proved to be geographical in theme and v as entitled Mountain Making. 20. Last night Garrett turned what seemed to be sure defeat into victory in the last few minutes of play and went on to win with a score of 29 to 32. 22. In a simple ceremony performed at the bride ' s apartment Saturday afternoon at one o ' clock. Miss Hudgel, home economics teacher in Auburn High School, became the bride of Charles Avery Nearing of Viking, Alberta, Canada. 26. Today ' s noon league was a huge success, for Hurd the Magician, sponsored by the Lions Club, demonstrated on Beany Muhn and Stinky Davis a sample of the performance he would give later. 27. Although the Angola Hornets tried their best to imitate the famed Green Hornet inasmuch as He gets his man, the best they could do against us was a score of 29 to 32. 29. A smooth working attack in the last half of the game by the Waterloo Wildcats led to their triumph over us 33 to 27. Page 36 Listen for the seniors Mr. Miller is talking Jump! Doreen makes up her mind FEBRUARY 4. Even in California it sometimes rains, and so exceptions can happen, and thus it really is possible for another team to beat us. This fact was shown too clearly tonight when the North Side Redskins beat us 28 to 14. 8. Much to the delight of the majority of the juniors and seniors, it was an- nounced this morning that the Jr.-Sr. Banquet is to be held in the Women ' s Club in the Commercial Building at Fort Wayne. 9. The sixth in the series of films proved to be about the country, Turkey. 13. With a bit of polish the Little Gym was turned into a temporary dance floor this evening, and many of our prominent jitterbugs attended a jam session under the alibi of the Freshman Frisky Frolic. 15. Every so often the history department just has to cut loose and spout forth wisdom and so this morning they conducted a Lincoln Day as- sembly. Don Newcomer recited the Gettysburg Address and spoke on related subjects, and Betty Rothhaar told us about the many and varied loves of Lincoln. 16. The old saying, Children should be seen and not heard, was forever banished by the speech of Rabbi Markowitz given before the P.-T. A. this evening. The occasion was the annual celebration of the Founders Day of the Auburn P.-T. A. 17. The team closed the home schedule with a hard-fought and well-earned victory over the Columbia City Eagles tonight with a score of 44 to 35. 25. The Red Devils rang down the curtain on the final scheduled game of the season last night by edging out Hartford City 40 to 39 and now have won twelve out of their allotted twenty games. The following month will tell their fate in the sectional at Angola. Page 37 MARCH 31. The Mystery of X, a short skit dealing with the solving of a mystery by the use of an algebraic equation, was given by the mathematics de- partment in the auditorium. The Earth ' s Rocky Crust, was the title of the film given this morning. The game with Butler at Angola started the sectional off. It was our game, 29 to 17. Mr. Kreamelmeyer was the guest speaker at the pep session this aft- ernoon. The second game in the sectional resulted in a victory for us against Hamilton, 38 to 27. The rival we next faced was the famed team of Waterloo which we soundly trimmed in the afternoon, 38 to 29, and went on to defeat Garrett the same evening after a fairly easy game, 37 to 29. The first game of the regional held here was between the Red Devils and Kendallville. A capacity crowd rejoiced over an Auburn favored score, 34 to 29. The second set of games held this evenmg was a cinch. The team romped through to finish off Columbia City, 42 to 35. Burris, our first opponent in the semi-finals at Muncie proved to be a stumbling stone for us. They tripped us up to 31 to 26, ending our debut in the tourney, The Chimes of Normandy, this year ' s effort in the field of light opera, was given before large audiences both last night and tonight. As usual for any school endeavor, it was a success. Charity shot ; Wimp says a v ord Leave it to Blickenstafi Auburn celebrates the regional Page 38 APRIL 6-11 10. 15. 17. 19. 30. Another of the convocations held in the Little Gym this morning was given by the Ministerial Association. Songs were sung and a sermon was de- livered with the aid of motion pictures. These days saw the building deserted except for a few of the faculty because the annual Easter or spring vacation fell on these dates. This evening an Easter dance was given in the Little Gym by the Parent- Teachers Association. A good time was had by all. The Indiana Extension Division held a guidance conference here for the benefit of the juniors and seniors who expect to continue studies in college. The first track meet of the season, held at Garrett against Kendallville, resulted in our downfall. When the last event was over, the score stood at 63 to 52. Assembly, Rooms pass as follows: read the announcement this morn- ing which ushered in the program of Bnggs and Brown, accordionist and chalk talk cartoonist. The music was excellent and the students got a kick out of the pictures, especially the ones he gave away. A Rotary Discussion Contest held today drew many of the pupils who wished to see how they rated on the verbal battlefield. The assemblies follow thick and fast in the latter months of the school year, and this morning ' s offering consisted of a movie dealing with the Glacier National Park. The second track meet, also held at Garrett, was another failure. Gar- rett retained the lead in a score of 76 to 23. The last day of the month saw our first victory in the field of track. The unhappy rivals were Columbia City, and v e whipped them on their own field 63 to 52. We hope it won ' t explode What ' re you in here for?

The last of the big assembly programs turned out to be an instrumental and vocal solo presentation by a well-known combination, Brown and Manly. 7. Auburn journeyed to Fort Wayne to compete in the North Eastern In- diana Conference. We did not place so well, but we did manage to get into the scoring with a total of 7 points. 12. A long drawn out sigh and anxious awaiting of verdicts by the staff announced the release of the Annuals today. This morning the home economics department presented an entertain- ing and educational one-act play dealing with subjects dear to girls. Several musical selections were given by members. This evening a large attendance at the annual music festival more than repaid the hard work and sweat of the band and orchestra members. Some real talent was displayed, and everyone seemed to enjoy the occasion. 14. A second trip to Fort Wayne by the track team resulted in a worse-than- before score. We earned one point in the sectional held there yesterday which gave us fifth place. 21. The seniors attended the Baccalaureate services held at the M. E. Church. Reverend Claude Garrison very capably delivered the sermon. 24. Wearing caps and gowns, the seniors attended the last formal affair of the high school, the Senior Commencement, held in the Alumni Gym- nasium. The speaker, who delivered a very encouraging oration, was Mr. Clyde E. Wildman, president of DePauw University. 26. Have your fun while you may. This seemed to be the general opinion of the students today as they celebrated the ending of the school year at the picnic at Hamilton Lake. Adieu, and adieu mean adieu. Page 40 flCIIVITIfS Q ' A %, u ' S offered to the modern student are designed to promote the most enjoyable and profitable use o spare time.

McKENNEY R SHULL ,p EDITORIAL Time was chosen as the theine of the Follies of 1939, and in creating this Annual, we have tried to show the relationship between time and the school. Several changes have been made in copy and layout on the theory that progress is the most important result of Time. The staff was supervised by Mr. Miller and Mr. Ettner, who were inval- uable in their help with such questions as How is this done? and What to do next? Both major and minor staffs were willing and prompt. Mr. Davis, a newcomer, did an excellent job with photography, and the Fort Wayne Engraving Company offered helpful suggestions and worth- while engraving. Our covers, of which we are very proud, came from the Malloy Cover Company. The Auburn Printing Company cooperated to turn out a fine job of printing. Without the timely aid of all these, the Follies of 1939 could never have been possible. Page 43 First row: J. Hines, P. Waller, V. Smith, E. Mitchell, D. Schaab, Hachet. Second rovr. P.

HONOR GROUP The honor group consists of four students from each class who have main- tained the highest average thus far in school. The purpose of the honor roll is to give the students who excel scholastically a merited honor. If there is a tie between two students both are placed in the group. We have a varied curriculum which gives the students a chance to choose the field of work in which they are most interested. This year ' s honor group consists of the following: Seniors, Donald Schaab, Jane Hines, Virginia Smith, and Peggy Hachet; Juniors, Eleanor Mitchell, Paul Smith, Paul V alter, and Herbert Noren; Sophomores, Henry Ford, Anne Alex- ander, Feme Cripe, dnd Betty Schooley; Freshmen, Mark Casebeer, Ruth Graham, Harry Kreider, and Beverly Gonser. To win a place on this group, the student must devote much time and effort to his work, thus gaining a sense of responsibility and method which is more valuable to him later than any number of equations, formulas, and dates. He learns the use of the reference library, and the value of cooperation with teachers and fellow students.

This year Auburn was lucky enough to have one of its students chosen as Harvest Queen. Of the representatives of seven schools in the county, Jane Hines was selected Queen of the Harvest. Those entering the discussion were Kent McKenney, Donald Newcomer, and Frederick Hall. In the algebra contest Wesley Clark and Harry Kreider represented Auburn, and Henry Ford, Ann Alexander, Feme Cripe, Betty Schooley, Paul Walter, and Lawrence Boger were representatives in the geometry section. Naomi Kalb, George Dicks, Reinold Titler, Marjorie Boren, Hugh Wiley, and Wesley Clark were chosen as prominent members of the art group. Marjorie Thacher was merited for her poetry ability. Those chosen in English were Betty Steckley, Mary Jane Mark, Robert Shull, Eleanor Mitchell, Jane Hines, and Betty Beber. Mary Johnson and Edwin Hornaday excelled in music. Max Green and Glenn Gaff competed in the live-stock judging, and Deloss Culbertson, Carlton Brandon and Glenn Stebing were representa- tives in the corn judging contests. For ability in 4-H work, Joan Myers, Raymond Barnhart, Rebecca Renner, and Max Dilgard were chosen as representatives. Discussion More discussion Page 45 Seated Newci Standing: R. Davi. r A I Hin H Ketcham D Miller Rothhoar JUNIOR-SENIOR PLAY- SKIDDING An amusing satire on the small-town political situation was Skidding, three- act comedy presented by the junior and senior classes on November 30 and December 1, 1938. Under the competent direction of Mr. Kenneth Ettner, a group of homey, loveable characters were brought to life on the high school stage. The scene is set in the living room of Judge James Andrew Hardy in a small town in Idaho. The Judge is worried about his re-nomination. No one com- prehends the political deluge until daughter Marion comes home having been graduated from a school in New York where she had majored in political science. She has with her Wayne Trenton III, whom she intends to marry. Marion, understanding her father ' s situation, pinch-hits for a celebrity who was to speak in behalf of her father. She turns out to be a great success. The other two daughters of the family, in the meantime, have both quarrelled with their husbands and have come home. Then Marion decides to run for nomination for the State Legislature and to give Wayne up, since he believes a career and marriage will not mix. Because of this turmoil, Mrs. Hardy leaves home. Three weeks later the household of the Hardys is in a terrible state. Mrs. Hardy returns home and the two older daughters decide they had never wanted divorces, and they, too, go home to their husbands. The Judge is nominated for the State Supreme Court and Marion is nomi- nated for the State Legislature. Wayne comes to congratulate Marion and gives up his theory that a career and marriage do not mix. The play ends with Andy trying to sell Marion and Wayne a lot on which to build a home.

OPERETTA-THE FIRE-PRINCE Somebody ' s imagination got out of hand, and produced cruel kings, gypsies, heat waves, flaming dragons, flowers, magic cloaks, and fairies, and scrambled them all together into a fascinating operetta called the Fire-Prince, which was presented on April 28 and 29, 1938, under the capable direction of Miss Mary Brandon and Mr. Kenneth Ettner, The tale relates that there was a dragon causing terror m the land of Pantouflia, and the king ordered his eldest son Prigio to kill it. Prigio, being a non-believer in myths, refused to carry out the command. Alphonso and Enrico, the brothers of Prigio, volunteered to go, but they did not return. Then Grognio informed all his court that they must take flight to Luxburg. But the prince, Prigio, was to re- main alone. He was in disfavor with everyone, with the exception of a gypsy girl. Prigio escaped and with the aid of a pair of seven league boots fled to Luxburg. With his coming, the spell of the dragon was transferred to Luxburg. For only the gypsy girl, Rosa, who had proved to be the daughter of the Spanish Ambassa- dor, would he attempt to kill the dragon. The Fire-Prince slew the dragon and brought his two brothers home safely. Having thus pleased his father he was rewarded with the girl of his choice, Rosa.

ORCHESTRA Since questions are m vogue this season, here is one you should be able to answer if you ' ve been around much this year: What group of 40 high school students, under the direction of Mr. Wilcox, combines instruments, wind, fingers, chords, and discords, and succeeds in getting pleasant results? You guessed it — the orchestra. (As though you didn ' t know it in the first place because the printer put the heading up there at the top!) Seriously, though, our orchestra did help a lot by playing for the Junior- Senior play, and for the operetta. During the absence of Mr. Wilcox, Paul Smith, one of the members of the orchestra, directed them and kept them in good practice and tune. The Spring Concert, put on by the combined orchestra and band of the Auburn schools went over with its usual success, under the apt and efficient direction of Pres Wilcox. His talent and art are proved by his accomplishments. 1 Tuning up Page First row: Broderick, E, Grubb, Feagler I Kelly V Lawhead, R. Maxwell, Kirkpatrick, Albright, R.

Read BAND No, it isn ' t a jam session — they ' re just tuning up. As soon as they ' re done, Mr. Wilcox will raise his baton and say, ' Here we go, ' and then they ' ll all play together. That ' s a pretty good description of what happened every Monday and Fri- day third period, at band rehearsal. Pres Wilcox did a fine job of directing the 60 members of our band this year. We were all sorry that he was ill for several weeks, but one of our seniors, Verlin Lawhead, who substituted as director, and our drum-major, Bud Axtell, carried on faithfully and well, too. They all made some mistakes once in a while, but they profited by them and didn ' t make them again. That ' s why it ' s such a good band. They played at the football games, the Fall Fair, the basketball games, and the Spring Concert, where they combined with the orchestra. We all agree that they did a fine piece of work, and that the band next year will have to go some if it is to surpass the work of this one. For wherever there was music wanted, there the band was to be found, ready and willing to give out with a choice selection. Hats off to the band! Drills Page 49 First row: B. Schaab, Galliher, M.

GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB If you ' ve ever seen a boy standing in the hall on Tuesday or Thursday after four o ' clock, gazing into the assembly, you can bet that he is admiring one or more — maybe all — of the 70 girls in Glee Club as they sing their favorites, Night Song, Husheen, or Ciribiribin. Because they sing so well, you can see that they received excellent direc- tion from Miss Mary Brandon, and that Doreen McClintock did a splendid job of accompanying them at the piano. The girls elected Jane Hines, presi- dent; Barbara Short, secretary-treasurer; and Ann Alexander, librarian. The triple quartette, chosen from the Glee Club and Chorus, sang at various banquets and meetings during the year. The members were Jane Hines, Betty Williams, Martha Brown, Mary Johnson, Peggy Hachet, Judy Buchanan, Gretchen Myles, Louise Shook, Ann Alexander, Margaret Snepp, Ruth Graham, and June Warstler. GIRLS ' CHORUS The fifteen girls in this accomplished group sang with the Glee Club at Baccalaureate, Commencement, the Fall Fair, and the Spring Concert. Demaris Hardy did excellent work as accompanist, and Mary Brandon did the same (with orchids) as director. You ' ve heard their bird-like notes floating in the halls on Monday and Wednesday mornings.

We ' re willing to wager that everybody m school has heard them sing How Can I Leave Thee, Kentucky Babe, or Who Did, some Tuesday or Thursday morning, third period, this year. Many of the boys from the chorus were m the operetta and contributed much to its smooth-running success with their hearty tones. They worked hard on these songs, as they did on everything they undertook. They lent their silvery chords to the eager listening ears of those attendmg Commencement, the Christmas Chapel, P.-T. A. meetings, the Spring Concert, and many other special occasions during the school year. A boys ' quartette was formed, and entertained at clubs and socials. Edwin Hornaday kept them on pitch, with the aid of the piano, and Mary Brandon beat the time, or maybe beat their ears. Either way, she really got good results! Sweet Adeline Page 51 First row: B.

HISTORY CLUB A clatter of chairs and a rush of feet announce the beginning of another of those History Club meetings. Everybody dashes down the stairs at the Y. M. C. A. for lots of fun and much well-chosen knowledge. The purpose of this organization was the study of events, current, past, and future. The club is sponsored by Mr. Weathers and is right in line with his regular cur- ricular work, social science and economics. The students in the club met at the beginning of the second semester and chose, after fitting deliberation, the following officers: Frederick Hall, presi- dent; Robert Hersh, vice-president; Matie Sisson, secretary-treasurer; Jean Trader, assistant; John Bullock, publicity; Peggy Hachet, assistant; Don New- comer, song leader; Betty Williams, assistant; Sherburne Hersh, sergeant- at-arms; Jane Hines, pianist; Doreen McClintock, assistant. The club met the first and third Thursday of each month at the Y. Meetings were made up of talks by students on current events and problems, debates, outside speakers, pictures, original plays, clever music, with occasional pot- lucks and skating parties thrown in for good measure. Juniors and Seniors are eligible for membership, and this year the roll numbered about seventy. Order into chaos Pop vetos something Page 52 First row: R, Shull P. Walter, A. Mavis, D. Schaab, D.

BOYS ' HI-Y The Boys ' Hi-Y has completed another successful year under the supervision of Mr. Kenneth Ettner and Mr. Harry Kreider. The club is sponsored by the Young Men ' s Christian Association. The club met every Tuesday at the Y. M. C. A. The meetings consisted of talks, discussions, and eats. The motto of the club is clean sportsmanship, clean speech, clean athletics, and clean scholarship, and anyone of the three upper classes who receives a majority of votes may become a member. They sponsored many social activities, including dances and skating parties, and in December a dance was sponsored for the Alumni Hi-Y. The officers for the first semester were Adrian Mavis, president; Donald Schaab, vice-president; Marlin Yoder, secretary; Richard Thomas, treasurer. The officers elected at the beginning of the second semester were Adrian Mavis, president; Robert Trader, vice-president; Delbert Wimer, secretary; and Richard Thomas, treasurer. Almost any Tuesday, the blackboard in the assembly was decorated with the sign, Hi-Y tonight . . . Eats.

Nugen GIRL RESERVE This is the second year in the Ufe of the rapidly growing Girl Reserve organ- ization of Auburn. It is sponsored by Mrs. Nearing, Miss Dawson, and Miss DeLancey. The group selected as its officers for the year: Evelyn V ible, president; Margaret Snepp, vice-president; Bette Myers, secretary; and Betty Steckley, treasurer. The meetings were held at the Y on the first and third Wednesday in each month. Meetings consisted of games, talks, study, and fun. The club insignia is composed of a triangle within a circle, and this year many of the girls received pins bearing this sign. In December the adult council gave a tea. The guests included the Auburn Girl Reserve, the Garrett girls, and their ad- visers. A skating party was held at Silver Moon, February 20. Several parties and dances were sponsored throughout the year. Some of the Auburn girls attended a district meeting of Girl Reserve that was held at Salem Center. Auburn was selected as the meeting place of the conference to be held next fall, and Judy Buchanan was elected president of these goings on. The Girl Reserve is a national organization, sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. and is a sister organization to the Hi-Y.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB When the furniture truck drives up in front of the school, there is certain to be a commotion in the Home Economics department. This year will live long in the memories of the Home Economics girls, for it was this yecir that they received their new dinette set of blond mahogany, complete with drapes, Cavitt Shaw dishes, and a new General Electric refrigerator. The club meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month, and this year there were forty-two enthusiastic members. Some of the outstanding events of the year were a skating party with the F. F. A. boys, a talk by Miss Ann Hootin, local beautician, on facials, and a dance at the Legion hall. Two Thanksgiving baskets were given away by the girls. Club finances are supplied through the selling of candy, under the super- vision of Mrs. Nearing and Georgiana Souders. Officers elected for the year were Betty Cupp, president; Jean Hull, vice- president; Margaret Morr, secretary-treasurer. During the last three years the Home Economics Club has been under the supervision of Miss Hudgel (now Mrs. Nearing), who attended the Ball State Teachers ' College at Muncie. Mrs. Nearing will not be with us when the next school term begins, and we wish to give our thanks and appreciation to a faithful and devoted leader. i Hard at work Page 56 v ir First row: B.

From the forty-five eligible boys the fol- lowing officers were chosen for the year: Glen Gaff, president; Max Dilgard, vice-president; Max Green, secretary; Bruce Provines, treasurer; Lawrence Boger, reporter; and Blake Smith, watch dog. There were Green Hands initiated into the organization and four boys were given the Future Farmer Degree. The boys exhibited at the county fair and the muck crop show at Garrett in which they received the majority of the awards. Lawrence Boger had champion record book in the county for which he received a beautiful silver fringed ribbon. The following won educational trips: DuWayne Haynes, Max Dilgard, Carlton Brandon, Robert Smith, Deloss Culbertson, Glen Gaff, William Gulick, Max Heffley, Howard Werner, Robert Shoudel, Max Green, Eugene Thomas, and Robert Wise. There were also many cash awards for record books. In corn judging, Glenn Stebing won a trip to the state fair. Ten members attended a district banquet at Garrett on December 12. A pest contest was held from Jan. 1 to Feb. 1 with the different F. F. A. chapters of DeKalb County, namely: Garrett, Ashley, Waterloo, and Butler. The losing team fur- nished the place for a party, and the winning team took charge of the meeting. The Junior Leaders were Lawrence B oger, Deloss Culbertson, and Max Dil- gard. They enrolled and supervised 4-H boys during the summer.

SHOP GROUP Page 59 Worm ' s eye view of the ilag pole Chemisterian minorities SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES Meet you at 7:00 — generally means that there is some sort of club meeting coming up. Nearly every week night is taken up with one of the many extra- curricular activities. Monday, Hom.e Economics Club; Tuesday, Hi-Y; Wednes- day, Girl Reserve; Thursday, History Club; and so on indefinitely. These clubs cover nearly every kind of activity to be hoped for and are under the competent supervision of teachers and advisers in that branch of work. Of course no student belongs to all of these organizations, but nearly all at- tend at least one, and some are active members of two or three. We honestly believe that everyone enjoys work if he can only find an oc- cupation suited to him. So, with all these varied clubs to choose from, the student can take his choice and then pleasantly run himself ragged with producing home-made plays, budgeting club funds to provide eats, and scraping together material for discussion. Don ' t let these harried-looking students fool you they love it. High-hatting us, huh? Very businesslike Page 60 . . 4c . U - jfe riX,. ?2y t J2l .- .yC Pi. (} .ylf Hi J,.

Seconds count. One of the most important officials in any game is the time- keeper, and the players must think and act quickly and with precision. Our coaches have spent many hard-fought hours teaching their teams the hair-trigger speed of the true athlete, and with re- markable success. Therefore, we devote this next section to athletics. Page 61 COACH YOUNG Zeke has long been a member of our faculty, l e has been with us for fifteen years and is liked by everyone. Although he has given up coaching the basketball team, he has retained his position train- ing the track and football boys and has turned out successful athletic squads in these major sports. With the boys ' co- operation we have four football victories to our credit, losing only two games and tying one with our old rivals, Garrett. His close association with all the students en- ables him to win their friendship. He is one of the best coaches that any school could hope for, and we wish him the best of luck. Zeke was in charge of the Noon League and Interclass Basketball teams this year. Zeke is well known in other communities, and his popularity is steadily increasing. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Auburn High School Athletic Association, better known as the A. A. A., is composed of members of the three sport squads, football, basketball, and track, and all students who have bought season tickets. The managers of these sports are now selected by the coaches. Those selected for this year were Paul Walter, manager of the football squad, Bob Shull, basketball manager, and Paul Rugman, track manager. This association is officially supervised by our principal, Mr. Miller, and is conducted by the elected officers. This year, those elected by the student body successfully fulfilled their positions. They were Adrian Mavis, president, Naomi Kalb, secretary; and Mr. Schooley, faculty treasurer. These officers have charge of the business side of the athletic asso- ciation of the high school which is really quite a complicated affair. It takes hard work and concentration on their part to spell success for this or- ganization. Our president, Adrian Mavis, has charge of the pep sessions, and at all of these he has done his part. The Girls ' Athletic Association has played a great part in participating in the girls ' sports of this school. They have activities corresponding to those of the boys, and all who take part find it very interesting and educational. Some of their major sports are soccer, volleyball, basketball, track, baseball, tennis, arch- ery, and badminton. This association is supervised by Miss Wilma Duff, the physical educational teacher, and has for its successful president, Jean Trader. J. TRADER KALB MAVIS MR. SCHOOLEY Page 62 COACH BERNS Meet Hermie, teacher of the citizenship class and our basketball coach selected to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Pete Brookover! For his first year in Auburn, he has made many friends, and they are steadily increasing. He is a splen- did basketball coach and a swell person to know This tall, dark, and handsome individual, standing six feet five inches, is a pal to all the boys with whom he works. He is ably assisted by Mr. Coar, who has charge of the second team. Looking at the basketball record of the Auburn Red Devils this year, we must say that Hermie is headed directly for future successes. He coached the boys through to the semi-final tournament at Muncie, the first time in the history of Auburn High. We wish him all luck in the world and hope that he will turn out as good a basketball team next year. Vyui MANAGERS AND YELL LEADERS Each year the coaches must have someone to help them with their equipment and be their all-round right hand man. Those who are chosen do their work well and with a sportsmanlike attitude. Last year Paul Rugman was elected track manager. He not only proved himself worthy of this job, but he also worked hard on the football squad. He performed his work very successfully and was a great help to the boys. Paul Walter, as manager of the football eleven, did a fine job in looking after the boys and supplying them with their equipment. He came in mighty handy when there was need to patch up injuries. Bob Shull, who was chosen basketball manager, has been very useful this year. He sat along side Coach Berns and took care of the basketball equipment. He had plenty of work piled on him, but he always came through and has been a capable manager for our team. Bette Myers has been our faithful yell leader for three years. The school is going to miss her pep next year, because if there was anyone who could get the crowd to yell, it was Bette. Don Newcomer and Marie Miller, who aided Bette, also did great work in pepping up the players and the students at the right inter- vals. Our yell leaders received honorable mention in the Muncie newspapers when the team participated in the semi-finals there this year. P. WALTER R • HULL p. RUGMAN B, MYERS Page 63 r ni- S- Hines, U. McDarby FOOTBALL Last fall brought together another of Auburn ' s football teams. Handicapped with little experience and few re- serves, the boys worked hard and were rewarded with a very successful season. On September 19, the Auburn Red Devils played their first game, defeating the visitmg Columbia City Eagles, I 13 to 0. The Red Devils made all i jjj - of their points in the first half and -rj yS ' only once did the Eagles threaten their goal. Both teams resorted to power plays through the line and threw very few passes. The Red Devils won their second encounter 21 to 13 over the in- vading Yellow Jackets from De- catur. After trailing in the first and second quarters, the Yellow Jackets managed to take a six point lead at the start of the fourth period. In this quarter Auburn made two touchdown runs, both over sixty yards, to sew up the game. The third gam.e of the season was played against Howe Military Academy. Auburn ' s 12 to vic- tory over the soldiers was the re- sult of an afternoon of good block- ing. A total of 34 passes was thrown throughout the game, the locals completing 8 out of 19 and Howe, 2 out of 14. Auburn eleven suffered its first loss the following Friday at Bluffton. Due to sickness and the absence of one of the varsity, the Red Devils were slaughtered by a 50 to score. Having beaten Central of Fort Wayne, Decatur, and Auburn, the Tigers went on to become the Conference champions. Still under the weather the team was defeated again, this time at the hand of Central of Fort Wayne, 29 to 13. Auburn scored its first touchdown early in the second quarter with Page 64 tio. ,9 wmL FOOTBALL a 45 yard pass from Tarter to White. The Red Devils led 13 to 2 at half time, but the Tigers cam.e back to score 27 points in the last two periods. The next week the boys had no trouble downing the Hicksville eleven, 19 to 0. Touchdowns by the locals were scored in each of the first three quarters. Coach Young used 23 reserves in the final fourth quarter. This was the season ' s final home game, and also the last game to be played at Williams field. The football season ended against the rival Railroaders from Garrett. Both squads played their hardest, and the battle ended in a scoreless tie. Although several breaks put the ball near Auburn ' s goal, most of the playing was done in Garrett ' s half of the field. The final count to 0. This game brought the 1938 foot- ball season to a close with four games won, two lost and one tied. At the end of the season the fol- lowing were given red chenille letters for their efforts: Neil Mc- Darby, John Tarter, Archie Kirk- patrick, Donald Schaab, Donald Lochner, Adrian Mavis, Robert White, Stanley Hines, George Dicks, Charles Groscup, Eugene Rinehold, Eugene Thomas, Dennis McDarby, Richard Craven, Max Culler, and Paul Walter, business manager. Silver footballs, the most coveted football awards, were presented to Robert White, Adrian Mavis, Archie Kirkpatrick, Neil McDarby, Donald Schaab, and Don Lochner. Neil McDarby was made the football line captain and Stanley Hines the backfield captain. Although several members of last year ' s football team are graduating, there will be many good replacements. ven, E. Rinehold i) - ,j ' C. Groscup, P. Daub G. Dicks, E. Thomab Page 66 r '  «4L?«JkE. RED DEVILS ADRIAN MAVIS (Soup)— Forward Soup, the tall lanky forward will long be remem- bered for his spectacular hook shots. His fighting spirit in both offense and defense will be missed next year. DENNIS McDARBY (Denny)— Center Denny, the giant sophomore, was the highest scorer on the varsity. His tip-ins pulled a number of games out of the fire. Great things are expected from him in the future. JOHN BULLOCK (John)— Center John was always in the thick of the battle and proved himself a difficult man ' to guard. Dropping them in from underneath was his specialty. ROBERT HERSH (Harry)— Forward Harry was the cleverest ball handler on the squad, and he possessed a shot almost impossible to block. Much of next year ' s success will depend upon him. STANL3¥ HINES (Burly)— Forward Burly was a cool and steady player and one of the best forwards on the team. His defensive play and accurate long shots will be missed next year. Page 66 RED DEVILS ARTHUR MUZZILLO (Art) Center Art is only a sophomore, but he brightens future prospects with his natural ability as a pivot man. He also has a habit of continually hitting with his left-handed shot. EUGENE RINEHOLD (Gene) Forward Gene ' s uncanny one-handed shots and courageous defense have made him the spark plug of the team. He will be out there calling the plays again next year. RICHARD CRAVEN (Dick), Dick was known M Jfi LoontinuajTariving and his accurate two-handea shot from the side of the floor. We are happy to knov that he has another year. ROBERT TRADER (Doc)— Guard Doc, the big guard, was outstanding on the defense, breaking up many rival plays. Doc will be back next year continuing the good work and getting his share of the points. ERNEST FOLTZ (Ernie)— Guard Although small, Ernie was a big help to the team ' s success. His scrappy playing and swishing shots from the center of the floor make him a worthy can- didate for next year ' s varsity. Page 67 I r A noon league game BASKETBALL Before the close of the football season, Coach Berns had basketball under way. After several practice sessions, a first and a second team evolved. The initial contest was a thrilling battle against the Ashley Aces. Auburn won, 31-29, in cm overtime. The following week the Red Devils routed Huntington Township, 39-16. Traveling to Butler, the boys tilted the Wmdmills, 23-12. At Bluffton the squad showed their fight by coming back m the second half, almost overcoming the Tigers ' large lead. On December 2, the undefeated Leo five was sent home on the short end of a 37-34 score. The next week Auburn lost its second conference game to Kendallville, 28-18. Fort Wayne ' s state champs. South Side, defended their title successfully for the fourth time, defeating the Red Devils. South Side 42, Auburn 27. December 22 gave Auburn revenge when they downed the Kendallville Comets. The game was close all the way, ending 27-24. The Red Devils spent the next game taming the Decatur Yellow Jackets. Trailing up to the last quarter, the team came up to win by ten points, 40-30. On January 7, the squad visited Fort Wayne ' s Tigers from Central. The game was very rough, and ended in a sudden-death overtime which gave Auburn a 42-41 victory. The Devils took their fourth straight win from the strong New Haven five, 39-37, in an overtime. Overconfidence and Warsaw ' s scrappy Tigers ended Auburn ' s winning streak. Leading but a few points all through the game, the Red Devils finally gave way to the Tigers in the closing minutes. Final score, 26-24. Still under the weather, the team dropped another to their most bitter rivals, the Garrett Railroaders. Falling behind as in the Warsaw game, the boys lost 32-29. The slump was over when the squad cut down the improved Angola team 32-29. This game was close and interesting all the way. A first-team struggle Page The teams practice BASKETBALL On January 28 the team went up to Waterloo to play their invincible five. The game was a thriller all the way with the Devils finally giving way to the race-horse tactics of the Wildcats and losing 33-27. The following week the boys played their poorest game of the season against the North Side Redskins. The tilt ended 28-14 in North Side ' s favor. Auburn was next invaded by the LaGrange team. 46-29 was the final score in favor of the Red Devils. Failing again, the varsity was defeated, this time by Central Catholic. The game ended with a score of Central 29, Auburn 24. The Red Devils won their last scheduled game on the home floor against Columbia City. They fought ahead in the third quarter and came out on the long end of 44-35. And finally, at Hartford City, Auburn finished a very successful season by nosing out the Airdales to the tune of 40-39. TOURNEY Auburn had little difficulty in winning their first tournament game at An- gola by trimming Butler, 29-17, and from there sailed on to defeat Hamilton, 38-24. Their next triumph was over the favorites, Waterloo, 38-29, and finally they defeated Garrett, with a score of 37-29, and won the right to enter the regional. In the first game of the regional, held at Auburn, Columbia City defeated Mentone. Auburn and Kendalllville met in the second game, and after the first quarter, the Red Devils maintained a comfortable lead, winning by 34-27. They defeated Columbia City in the finals, with a score of 42-35, and prepared to make their first trip to the super-regional. At Muncie Auburn was eliminated in the first game by Burris of Muncie. Kokomo nosed out the Ossian giant-killers, only to be taken in the final game by Burris. Jumps and foul-shots Page 69 First row: Casebeer, Broderick, Hess, R. Muzziilo, Scott. Second row; E.

Garlson, IMPS The second team, under the coaching of Mr. Don Coar and Hermie Berns, had a successful season with 12 wins and 8 losses. Getting off on the right foot, the seconds won their first three games — Ashley, 37 to 21; Huntington Township, 29 to 7; and Butler, 20 to 13. They met defeat for the first time against the Bluffton seconds, 27-16, and the following week they lost a thriller to Leo, 21-18. In the next battle, Kendallville rallied in the last quarter to win, 16-15, over the locals. Still in a slump, Auburn lost to South Side, 28-21. The Imps took revenge against the Kendallville squad when they visited them, and took the game 16 to 15. The freshmen proved their ability when they alone trimmed Decatur, 20-16, but they were of no use when Central ' s Cubs defeated the locals with a score of 25-14. Then the team began a winning streak, and cut down the New Haven second team 21-15. Against Warsaw the Imps played an easy game, and won 16 to 8. The following week the locals did their bit by taking their bitter rivals, Garrett, with a score of 25-22, and then a 23-12 score spelled defeat for the Angola team. Leading all the way and never in danger, the locals routed Waterloo, 25-14. But they were outclassed by North Side ' s little warriors and lost 25-20. The LaGrange game proved to be a tough one to win, 26-20. Central Catholic ' s accurate shooting demoralized the Imps in their next game, and C. C. went out ahead to take a 19-16 victory. Auburn ' s last victory was against Colum.bia City, 30-23. The season ended in a gamie against the Hartford City seconds, who won 27-18, Second team practice Page 70 First row: Robert Shull, Brandon, Phelps, White, A, Mavis, Habig, Hall- Second row: Beuchel, V.

NOON LEAGUE AND INTERCLASS BASKETBALL The principal means of entertainment for students during tlie noon fiour is Noon League and Interclass Basketball. This activity, which lasts from twelve-twenty until one o ' clock, attracted much attention from the team sup- porters. It gives the boys who like to play basketball an opportunity to par- ticipate, providing they are not on the regular team. This year Zeke Young had charge of the teams. Every year ten captains are chosen. Those for this year were: Melvin Knisely, John Tarter, Robert White, James Habig, Wally Hersh, Robert Shull, Donald Palmer, Keith Miller, Merle Mock, and Robert Morr. Of the teams competing, Wally Hersh ' s came through with a nearly perfect record, win- ning every game but one. The class teams are given the first two days of the week to play, and the remainder is played by the noon leaguers. Since the games were enjoyed so immensely, teams continued playing after those scheduled. During the interclass tournament, the Senior team appeared to be the strongest, and although there was keen competition among the other teams, they proved themselves the champions. The Senior team was composed of Jack Phelps, Robert White, Neil McDarby, James Habig, Robert Shull, Fred Hall, Wally Hersh, and Carlton Brandon. Noon League critics Page 71 Brandon, K, Miller V Beidler, D, Reynolds li :m mmmmmmBm2 M. Knisely, D. Miller TRACK Last spring the trackmen again answered the call to the cinders. The team had little experience but fmished the season successfully. On April 16 the Auburn thinlies lost their first track meet to Kendallville ' s Comets by a 63 to 54 score. Bushong of the Comets collect- ed 26 points for his team. Traveling to Garrett the thin- lies were handed their second defeat at the hands of the Rail- roaders, 23 to 76. The opponents gained most of their points in the distance events where they outclassed the locals. April 23 Auburn lost to Howe Military Academy. This was the first time in many years that Zeke ' s boys gave way to the soldiers. The next meet against Co- lumbia City resulted in the thin- lies first victory, 63y2-52V2- They took first place in seven out of the thirteen events. The following week, the Con- - 2 ' - ference meet was held at North ■. Side, Fort Wayne. The North Side Redskins were victorious with 78-5 6 points. Don Kemp of North Side set a new record in the half mile to lower the mark made by Don Lash in 1933. Auburn placed seventh in the meet. The thinlies filled in the week previous to the sectional with a field day at Butler. They came home on the long end of the score. In the sectional track meet at North Side of Fort Wayne, Auburn took fifth place and failed to qualify any member of the team for the state meet. This ended the 38 track season for the thinlies. Page 72 For their efforts in track, white chenille winged A ' s were awarded to Donald Reynolds, Carlton Brandon, Glenn Stebing, Wayne Beidler, Archie Kirkpatrick, Robert Shull, Charles Groscup, John Tarter, Melvin Knisely, Donald Miller, Jack Phelps, Eugene Rinehold, Louis Helmick, Keith Miller, Adrian Mavis, and Paul Rugman, business manager, Carlton Brandon was elected track captain.

GIRLS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Girls ' Athletic Association was organized in Auburn High in 1934 and is now sponsored by the physical educational teacher, Miss Wilma Duff. This association creates and maintains a lively school spirit and awakens interest in girls ' health and physical activities. It is steadily gaining in its meaning for the members and students of this high school, and to them it is one of the most interesting of all recreations. The G. A. A. organized for this year with the follov mg officers: Jean Trader, president; Martha Brown, vice-president; Lois Mains, secretary; and Dorothy Boren, treasurer. The members and pledges have exerted all efforts in regard to bringing this organization through more successfully than ever before. The association has held many interesting activities during the term, one activity being a Hard Luck party to which all the members wore their oldest clothes. There were also the annual Christmas party, and several pot-lucks and dances. The funds this year were sufficient that only two bake sales were necessary to meet the expenditures.

The major sports in which they participate are soccer, volleyball, basketball, track, and baseball. The minor sports are tennis, golf, shuffleboard, hiking, deck tennis, ping pong, archery, bicycling, badminton, horseshoe, and dancing. Each spring the girls look forward to the annual spring banquet in May when the president presents awards to certain members. Last year the pres- ident presented Feme Cripe with a loving cup honoring her as the most out- standing freshman. The outstanding athletic plaque was awarded to Roeine Garman, and the sportsmanship plaque to Jean Rowley. Those receiving state plaques this year are Jean Trader, Margaret Snepp, Jane Hines, and Betty Cupp. These awards are the highest honors given to individual mem- bers of G. A. A. and can be received only by the seniors. Some girls attended an Invitational Play Day, which was held at Kendall- ville this year. Members of G. A. A. from various towns gathered here to compete in games and to get acquainted. The annual State Play Day was held at Huntington last year where the seniors received their plaques. Two littul G. A. A. Giruls Page 75 A gym class SUMMARY OF ATHLETICS , In general the results of the track meets last year, and the football and bas- ketball games this season, were very successful. The records were: track, two won and three lost; football, four won, two lost and one tied; basketball, twelve won and eight lost. The track team last spring was not as strong as usual, but the members enjoyed a fairly good season. They placed seventh m the conference track meet and fifth in the sectional meet. The football squad developed into a much better team than was expected, winning over half of their games. The basketball ten, after a successful season, won the sectional and regional tournaments, gaining the right to play in the state semi-final tourney at Muncie. They were eliminated by Burris of Muncie, the semi-final winners. Prospects for this year ' s track team look very good. There was a turn out of about 60 boys for practice. Also, the new track and football field has been completed and offers a big advantage to the trackmen. Football games with Central of Fort Wayne, Bluffton, and Garrett will be played next fall. All home games will be held at the new Earl Carr field. Huntington Township has been dropped from the basketball schedule, otherwise the schedule remains unchanged. Waterloo, who will play here for the first time, and Central Catholic, National Champions, are two of the worthy opponents on the ' 39 schedule. The lettermen who will return next fall to take the place of those graduating this spring are: juniors, Richard Craven, John Tarter, Eugene Rinehold, George Dicks, Charles Groscup, Eugene Thomas, Robert Hersh, Robert Trader, and Louis Helmick; sophomores, Dennis McDarby, Melvin Knisely, and Donald Miller. In addition there are many promising athletes from the freshman and eighth grade classes. Officers of athletic organizations Page 76 A h Hymoi! j H ' V Y.f ' Humofi .

I Page 77 i4- r THE RAG TIMES EDITION: XLVIIPA PRICE: Sucker!!! BREEZY MILLER, JASON DAVIS ELOPE FROM SCHOOL IN PRINCIPAL ' S CAR Ceremony Performed at Junction May 1, — Overcome by the thought that their working days in high school were nearly over (they were to become seniors in a few weeks) Breezy Miller and Jason Davis elopsd today after commandeering the car of Mr, Lloyd Miller, principal, for their escapade. The affair was compounded, it was learned later, during a chemistry class when both found themselves unable to balance an ionic equation, lason was quoted as saying, 1 hope we don ' t have that much trouble with our budget. The pair was tied by the ball and chain of wholly alimony by Reverend Ivan Offilitch of Au- burn Junction. The ceremony was very simple, in keeping with the participants. The bride wore a red silk jacket and white silk slacks (keep-sake from her yell-lead- ing days) and carried a fra- grant bouquet of poison ivy and skunk cabbage. The groom was neatly attired in a black derby, borrowed for the occa- sion from Dick Craven, and a white bib and tucker. The bib, it was stated, was for protection against dill pickle juice to which the groom is allergic . . . has been ever since a now historic History Club meeting. This was not, however, a spur of the moment affair — the groom had had the license, it was said, for about five months — since December 27. BULLETIN May 3. — Mr. and Mrs. Jason Davis arrived at home today after a two day honeymoon in Pago Pago where they took pic- tures in color of the historic Niagary Bumps, and where, it is claimed, the last battle of the Mem was fought. They had planned to set up housekeeping in a trailer won by the bride in a Fall Fair con- test and hitch it to the groom ' s Super-Duper Hydrolysis Ate — complete with 4-wheel brakes (of which, however, the con- servative Mr. Davis uses only two at a time, alternately, in order to save wear). But, alas, things did not work as smoothly as planned. Ru- mors had it that Breezy had threatened to sue for divorce, and Jason announced that the suit would be uncontested. Her grounds, Mrs. Davis said, would be Jason ' s terrible table manners, his habit of mixing shells with the peanut butter, and the fact that he had con- tinually to work late at the of- fice (principal ' s) so that she never knew when to start sup- per. By way of counter-suit, Mr. Davis announced that another man, Mr. R. Mortimer Snod- grass Muhn by name, had been flirting with his wife on street corners and had, on several oc- casions, even gone so far as to call her up. To substantiate this rumor, it is reliably report- ed that Mr. Muhn has chal- lenged Mr. Davis to a duel, to be fought on May 10th, if weather permits. Breezy reports that she v ill delay action for divorce until after that date in order to be certain of the wis- dom of the separation. Be- cause, she says, if Mortimer succeeds in touching Jason with his weapon, a deadly dill- pickle, she won ' t need a di- vorce; and if Jason defeats Muhn, she won ' t WANT one, since Jason and Mortimer are the only two lunatics (else why would they marry her) at large in this section of the country, and this paper firmly believes that those in ether sections can- not possibly be so far gone. (Note: This paper has started a campaign for removal of these menaces to society — your co- operation will be appreciated). Page 78 THE RAG TIMES BOB SHULL WINS STUPENDOUS HANDICAP RACE How Could He Help It??? Main Street, early in April, was the scene of a dashing, spectacular racing contest. It all started when Bob ShuU was challenged by Bill Kail (Weasel) and Gene Wiley (freshman track star) to a race from the high school to Ensley Avenue. Somehow or other, the news of the coming event spread like wildfire over the city of Auburn and resulted in general chaos. It seemed that everyone want- ed to try his prowess against the great ShuU, whose reputa- tion as a runner (rum?) had spread throughout all Union Township! After several days of delay due to the confusion of attempt- ing to eliminate candidates for the race, the number of par- ticipants was finally boiled down to eight contestants, ranging from the city fire truck to Sammy Brown on a kiddy car. Others used roller skates, motor scoots and bicycles. When the day for the great contest finally arrived, the whole city was in an uproar; thousands of people lined the street to witness the gala event. Then just two minutes before the scheduled start of the race, ShuU played his trump card. Using his political influence, he had succeeded in having a temporary five mile speed limit imposed on that section of the street, which naturally sealed the doom of all the powered contrivances taking part in the race — including the bicycles. We might add that Herman Herns was bitterly disappoint- ed by this — he had vowed to show the superiority of his be- loved Maxwell by entering it in this race. This narrowed the race down to ShuU, Kail, and Wiley (all on foot), and Sammy on his kiddy car. After nine false starts (Wiley insisted on continually jump- ing the gun) the race finally got underway. Wiley took the lead with the crack of the gun, never relin- quishing it until only a few feet before the finish line, which he did then only because of trick- ery, but wait ' U we get to it, it ' s a long way to the finish line. Sammy was forced out of the race when the rubber tires on his kiddy car melted from the extreme heat generated by his great speed (he was jumped upon by the entire Auburn po- lice force — all three of them — who claimed he was disturb- ing the peace with the racket from his metal wheels). That left, of course, Shull, Kail, and Wiley still in the run- ning. We really believe Wile ' had the race in the bag, until as we have heretofore stated, he was framed just a few feet from the finish line. It seems that Shull had arranged to have one of his old flames vamp Wiley with an ice creaip soda, which was, alas. Gene ' s one great weakness. Thus, the final winner of the race was Shull, beating Wiley, NOON LEAGUE TRANSPORTA- TION CO. R. TITLER, Incorp. who had taken time out to drink the soda, by a sixteenth of a stride; and Weasel — Weasel went the wrong direc- tion when the first gun cracked, and landed three days later in Ireland.

The first half of the match was rather stale and uninter- esting, with both fighters stall- ing and sparring cautiously, and seeking an opportunity to cut loose with some sort of smashing play (preferably through right guard) to end the contest decisively and finally. The contest was a combina- tion boxing match, football game, basketball game, golf match and bull fight, which the two bitter rivals had staged to determine which was indeed the better man, and there was a purse of four cents and a Coney Island hotdog. During the first half. Ham- bone contented himself with seventy-two shots at the bas- kets, of which two and seven- eighth scored. His first bucket was a teaser — he finally suc- ceeded in sinking it on the six- teenth rebound — the others were made in slightly under par. Until the fifth quarter, Two- Ton Speer seemed to be unable to locate the goal-posts, but finally, with the aid of two mat- adors he sank one shot. Sev- eral sure-fire billiards ended up out of bounds (though it was also the opinion of many of the spectators that Hambone had gotten off with a lot of uncalled fouling; though we don ' t like to mention this, as the referees were the noted Zeke Young, ex- pert fisherman, and his honor (Heill) L. W. Miller. The end of the match came when Toar completely annihi- lated Hambone Herman with a two-handed (and one foot) scoop shot from his own seven- teen yard line. Toar maintained afterward that he was merely playing with Hambone in the first half, insisting that he could have ended the match at any time, since he had been up un- MANICURES YE TOWNE BEAUTYE SHOPPE Betty Cupp, Proprietor Are Your Heels Run Over?

Samoleo Sanctified Superflu- ous Schooley, Mikado of Chem- isteria, desiring to expand his territorial possessions, recently threatened to commence com- boobulating hydrogen sulphide (rotten egg gas) and to spread it with terrible results over the school, thus disrupting and de- moralizing the inhabitants. His reasons for his territorial de- mands, he said, were as fol- lows: (I). He wanted to liberate the small Chemisterian minor- ities. (2). He needed the mu- nitions plants to be found in the desired territory, also the food factories and the ivy and geranium plants. After a hasty conference of the Hi powers Sandy Mac- Weathers was dispatched via captive ballon to Chemisteria to pacify the Mikado. The Mikado, however, would not be pacified — he insisted on having more territory, main- taining that he was all set to put into practice a recently evolved scheme for cross- breeding a glass mine and an orchard of cork trees (refer to Ferdinand), and to produce unbreakable, stained glass test tubes, complete with corks. Upon reflection, he remem- bered Sandy ' s huge tract of land in the lower Hall-on-the- Floor, rich in minerals and oil, especially cod-liver oil. He agreed to renounce his gas comboobulating plan if he were given this land. Sandy naturally (by ' natur- ally ' we mean that he was born a Scot) was loath to part with his valuable property, all the more so since he had every reason to believe that it con- tained a Pop Quizz mine, and numerous chewing gum trees. Then, with his usual states- manship, he agreed to sign over the deed on condition that the Mikado would take out life insurance with him — assuring the former that all great men have enemies who are contin- ually plotting against their lives. Touched by this referetice to great men, the Mikado agreed; however, since he was unable to pay the huge premium de- ELUSIVE CHEWING TAUGHT See BOB SHULL Special course on How to Fool Pop Weathers CARDBOARD PHILOSOPHY What this country needs is a spot remover to remove the spots left by spot removers.
