We, of the United States, are the most traveled nation in the world. At the present time it is not on easy accomplishment to travel the world over, but one can always see America first. Traveling broadens the mind of a person just as we think the study of it, if not the actual participation in it, broadens the mind of the student. As traveling is done usually with a certain destination in mind, so the student in his studies strives to reach a definite goal that he has set for himself in life.

McKenney Dr. E. O. Hall E. A. Husselman SCHOOL BOARD The superintendent and the three school board members compose the executive body of Auburn High School. One definitely great task is making cut a yearly budget for A. H. S., which certainly must fill many hours far into the night. They guide our school activities to the best of their ability. Each of them has a commendable record in our city business and in the town of Auburn itself. Dr. E. O. Hiall, a comparatively new member, has advanced to the office of president. With an impressive civic record such as he possesses, he is certainly a very capable leader. For secretary we have a new member this year. He is E. A. Husselman, widely known for his capability in business affairs. And who could be more suitable for the office of treasurer than a banker? So we have a banker — J. D. Haggarty — with fourteen years of experience in the Auburn State Bank. Mr. H. L. McKenney, the superintendent, is the executive officer of the board. Having served almost a decade, he is extremely helpful in all matters and has a brilliant record in his past achievements.

S-— Art Chicago Art Institute Applied Art School, Chicago Butler University John Herron Art Institute MR. PRES WILCOX Band and Orchestra Manchester College ADMINISTRATION k This year brought to us two new teachers, both Margarets. Miss McMath took the place of Miss Eunice Steinke as the home economics teacher and later surprised the school with a sudden departure to New York and a wedding ring. She became Mrs. Gene Christy. Miss Stanion succeeded Miss WUma Duff as gym instructor and leader of the Girls ' Athletic Association. Of course every one is looking for a way to aid our country in this war, and our school certainly is no exception. Robert Quance introduced the idea of selling defense stamps every Tuesday, thus enabling the students to bank part of their money and buy defense stamps with the rest. The idea spread like a fire, and the school has set up an enviable record. Everyone has a chance to help his country. Mr. Miller is working in conjunction with the defense board in carrying out air raid drills. Page 11 ADMINISTRATION The school received a fine addition to its possessions. The amplifying system, plus Bob Kleeman ' s orchestra and the G. A. A. or the Hi-Y as sponsors, made our dances superb. This system also brought a delight to the followers of football and basketball. All players and their numbers were announced to fans, and various decisions and plays were explained. Another addition was a fire alarm system, much more efficient than the bell that was used until this year. As for entertainment, ours has been royal. Among the best were Phillip Lee and his wife, who came to America with F ' red Snite in behalf of China, their war torn country. Robert M. Zimmerman, a deep sea diver, brought many exciting and humorous experiences to the student body. Also very interesting were A. C. Towslee, a secret service man, and Cortez Peters, the world ' s record holder in speed on a portable typewriter. He was later en- joyed by many students on the radio program, Hobby Lobby.

Tourney week must have been hard on teachers, because students ' minds just seemed to be somewhere else. The Parent-Teacher Association has this year, as in the past, played a very important part in the school. Everyone loves the big school picnic, and it ' s about time they ' re finding out who does all the work. This association carries on student aid in buying lunches, clothing, and books for needy students. This year they inaugurated a new joint system. Instead of each school hav- ing its own meeting, they have combined and also formed a study club in order to go over school problems more thoroughly. Serving the organization this year were Mrs. Quentin Mavis, president; Mrs. Charles Smith, first vice president; Lloyd W. Miller, second vice president; Mrs. Harry Kreider, secre- tary; and Mrs. Maynard Timbrook, treasurer. FACULTY VOCATIONAL SUBJECTS AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION MISS MARGARET STANION A.

THE MAROON AND GOLD After four years of work and play, the Senior Class stands at the threshold of a new life. To freshmen entering the school, the four years seem long, but to seniors looking back, the four years have been all too short. For guidance in their last year, the seniors chose Harry Kreider as presi- dent; Earl Keller as vice president; Helen Dicks as secretary; and Ruth Graham as treasurer. Mr. Weathers again advised the class, aided by Mrs. R. S. Wiley and Mrs. W. C. Hersh as class mothers. The record of the Senior Class has been brilliant. We can forget neither the undefeated football team of last fall, nor the seniors who played on it — Bill McComb, Potts Pfister, Bill Scott, Sam Brown, Paul Daub, Ken Shull, Harry Kreider, Gale Gafken, Bob Wise, and Bob Quance. The basketball Page 26 Gus steals the style show . . . . Do we envy the boy or the girls? . What did you say, Bern? What are you eating, Pat? THE MAROON AND GOLD players will also be long remembered. For four years Bill McComb, Bill Scott, Mark Casebeer, Paul Daub, Potts Pfister, and Leon Hess have served A. H. S. faithfully on the hardwood. The girls, too, were represented in athletics. Gloria Davis, Eloise Dilgard, Jane Niles, Betty McNabb, Ruth Mitchner, Thelma Tallen, Beverly Gonser, and Pat Kain were active members of G. A. A. The accomplishments of this class did not stop with athletics. Mark Case- beer, Beverly Gonser, Harry Kreider, and Ruth Graham won scholastic honors throughout their four years. All in all, the Maroon and Gold have been very successful in their high school career.

THE JUNIOR CLASS As co-leaders of the student body in Auburn High School, the Junior Class has performed its tasks well. They upheld their traditions in all branches of activities. The juniors have had an active year. Football fans will remember the hamburgers and other refreshments served by the juniors during the games last fall. They have been secretly planning during the winter a Junior-Senior Banquet which all believe will be a success. To lead them in this important year, they chose Don Seavers as president; Don Stebing as vice president; Betty Armstrong as secretary; and Eleanor Trovinger as treasurer. Mr. Donald Coar was chosen as adviser. The class mothers were Mrs. Seavers and Mrs. A. V. Hines. The football team was aided by the services of such juniors as Pink Page 30 It ' s getting drafty, Betty . . . Crowding in for a pep session An industrious chemistry class . . .

Estel Smith, Wendell Weathers, Betty Brown, and Max Smolinske represented them on the honor group. Wendell Weathers was prominent in discussion contests, and Don Stebing and Betty Brown were the junior mem- bers of the Annual staff. All eyes are on these classmates for their last year in A. H. S.

What a sophomore volleyball team THE SOPHOMORE CLASS After a year of bewildering activities, the Sophomore Class has been taken into full membership in the student body of Auburn High School. They have cheerfully accepted their share of the responsibilities as well as their share of the fun. Through a year of rapid tempo they were guided by Zeke Young as adviser. They chose Jack Molitor as president; Toby Kreider as vice presi- dent; Jean Renner as secretary; and Joyce Wiley as treasurer. Mrs. George Kelly and Mrs. Jerry Kelly served as class mothers. This class has been quite successful scholastically. Joanna Morr, Robert Kreider, Frances Schooley, and Joyce Wiley were representatives on the honor group. Joyce Wiley and Frances Schooley also took part in interscholastic activities. The sophomores were very interested in athletics.

Jack Kelly, Gene Simanton, Eugene Butler, and Robert Kreider were sophomore representatives on the basketball court. They have been faithful athletes so far in their careers, and great things are expected from them in their coming years on the various varsities. Joyce Wiley, Jean Renner, Pat Patrick, Frances Schooley, Wanda Tallen, Jeanette Cox, Betty Pritchard, Lois Kelly, Marjorie McComb, Marjorie Timbrook, Mary Williamson, Joanna Morr, and Peggy Brown took part in G. A. A. The class, by better than average collection of dues, has given several parties for its members. As we look forward to the next two years, we expect great things from the Sophomore Class.

Freshmen go to town at a dance THE FRESHMAN CLASS Although at first, as always with freshman classes, enveloped in a green fog, the class of ' 46 has rapidly fallen in step with the school life of Auburn High. In their first year of high school, the freshmen chose Bill Schaab as president; George Rodecctp as vice president; Ruth McClintock as secretary; and Sue Hamilton as treasurer. Mr. Ettner was their class adviser, and Mrs. W. Swartz and Mrs. H. }. Snyder aided him in their capacities as class mothers. The Freshman Class started off rapidly in athletics. Outstanding talent in- cluded Don Corkwell, Bob Simanton, Charles Foltz, Lauren Griffith, Bill Schaab, and George Rodecap. These boys performed on the gridiron and basketball court. Sue Hamilton, Ellen Weathers, Ann Schooley, Irene Burtz- ner, Peggy Swartz and DeVonna Kalb were active in G. A. A. The class was not asleep scholastically either. Richard Beerbower, Ann vSchooley, Dale Clark, and Ellen Weathers were placed on the Honor Group. From experience we can only say that a class with a record like this will furely travel far. , Page 38 SfiiJDDi iJf£ fi }J D fj i 1 J ; £ 1 r No one realizes hoiv fast the school year goes until it is finished and re- vieiied.

SEPTEMBER With the opening of school, 363 high school students were drafted and started on a nine month training course in the Mcintosh School, under the leadership of General H. L. McKenney and Major General Lloyd Miller. New recruits numbered 16. Miss McMath replaced Miss Steinke as instructor of home economics, and Miss Stcmion is the new physical education teacher succeeding Miss Duff. The football season opened with a game in Marion which resulted in an unexpected victory for Auburn, 27-20, thus opening an undefeated season for the Auburn eleven. Columbia City came to our city for the first home game. This was a conference game and ended a tie, 6-6. Today the seniors met and elected Harry Kreider, president. Other of- ficers elected were Earl Keller, vice president; Helen Dicks, secretary; and Ruth Graham, treasurer. The juniors met after school and elected their officers as follows: presi- dent — Don Seavers; vice president — Don Stebing; secretary — Bette Arm- strong; and treasurer — Eleanor Trovinger. The Auburn football squad took cm easy win from Decatur in this city, snowing them under 32 to 0. This evening the high school held the annual reception for the freshmen. The seniors furnished the program (to make certain it would be good), the juniors provided the eats, and sophomores were allowed to dec- orate the gym for the occasion. Howe was the victim of another high score piled up by the Red Devils when 30 to was the final count. After a month of school it was discovered that the final enrollment of 363 was the largest in the history of the school. Page 42 OCTOBER 1. The Sophomore Class elected their class officers today. Jack Molitor was chosen as president; Bob Kreider, vice president; Jean Renner, sec- retary; and Joyce Wiley, treasurer. 2. The Freshman Class was last to select its leaders. Those chosen were Bill Schaab, president; G eorge Rodecap, vice president; Ruth McClin- tock, secretary; and Sue Hamilton, treasurer. 4. This being the first of the month, the boys had to start it off right by turning in another football victory, this time over Bluffton — 52 to — highlighted by Bill McComb ' s 86 yard run. 11. Another victory for Auburn — Central B 6, Auburn 41. 18. Ho-hum, Auburn 41— -Hicksville 7. 23. It came, at long last. What came?

Four whole days to do as we please — ?? Well, it ' s a change anyway. 27. Something new to look forward to — basketball practice started today. Phillip Yung Lee and Mrs. Lee gave one of the most interesting and out- standing entertainments of the year. Mr. Lee lectured on Correlated Oriental and Occidental Culture. He had with him a Chinese musical instrument and sang, playing his own accompaniment. Mrs. Lee came from China with Fred Snite, the famous iron lung patient. 31. Cortez Peters, world ' s champion typist, presented a very interesting en- tertainment for the student body. He first gave a short story of his life, then gave several amazing demonstrations of speed and accuracy on the standard and portable typewriters. He then gave a spectacular ex- hibition of rhythm, using recorded music as a background, during which his typing sounded like tap dancing. The conquered trophies of A. H. S. . . .

This was the real, as well as the last football game of the season — as Columbia City and Auburn both were undefeated in their conference games. The night was dark, the rain came steadily down, and the field seemed half mud. But what a game! The players were nearly unrec- ognizable, and carried a large part of the field around on their shoes. Pfister made on exceptionally long run for a touchdown under such conditions. McComb had the cartilage in his nose broken, several players were injured, and most of them brought some scratches home. Oh yes, Auburn won again 13 to 6 — undefeated football Conference Champions! 6-7. Jr-Sr. play, Ever Since Eve. Misfortune followed the cast, however, as Sue Douglas became ill less than a week before the performance, Thelma Tallen replacing her. Ray Rothhaar fell in basketball practice, knocking out three teeth and cutting his lip. Wendell Cooper took his place two hours before the play, and they gave a swell performance. 10. G. R. conference was held at Garrett. Plans were made to hold it next year at Kendcdlville. 1 1 . An Armistice Day program was given in the big gym. The address was given by Rev. Trout. 14. The basketball team opened the season at Ashley, winning by a score of 38 to 15. 15. The first home game was with Leo, who defeated Auburn 43 to 37. 18. The G. R. E ance was held in the little gym.

This was the first of its kind this year and was quite a success. The rnusic was fur- nished by a iour piece orchestra from the high school, coraposed of Jack Douglas, Keith Bomhart, Keith Jackman, and Bob Kleeman. 6 The Red Devils won a close, hard fought battle from the KendallviEe Comets, the score board reading 23 to 20 at the dose of the gam.e. 8.

Aiobum traveled 20 m.iles to lose a close one to the tough South Siders, 39 to 34. 19. Kendalh ille took it on the chin agcdn, this time losing 34 to 26. It is quite unusual that we vnn both games from the expert KendoUville quin- tet {ext ert in their opinion) but this seascsi proved on ezoeption. 23. Tuesday night the impossible almost happened. The garr e - rith Centred was progressing very much in their favor up to the third quarter; then something woke up the R-ed Devils, and the game ended 47 to 44 in Central ' s fovcr, but the Aiob-om fans were more than satisfied. 25. The basketball team recovered enough from Christmas to take a con- ference gome from Decatur, 36 to 24. It was a long way, but quiie. c few fans sow the game.

The Red Devils played good ball and held their opponents to five points in the first half. A. C. Towslee gave cm interesting talk on Know Your Money before the student body today. He is an eleven year veteran of the secret service and outlined from his experiencs, methods of detecting counter- feit money and what to do in case one is the victim. He also stated that although the government is tightening down in this field, a great deal of counterfeiting still exists in the United States today. The Auburn five annexed another victory to their record by defeating Washington of South Ben d 35 to 32. We almost lost the game through lack of players, since four of our men were out on fouls. It was announced today that Auburn would be awarded the sectional tourney this year. Sixteen teams will enter. Once again we entended the good neighbor policy — this time to Gar- rett, when we received a defeat of 35 to 30. It was rather hard to take, but we know that we were off form. Two faculty members have been out of school because of illness — Miss DeLancey, typing teacher, and Miss Sellers, the art teacher. The Red Devils came back to life again and ended a seven game win- ning streak held by Angola by beating them 41 to 33. The Tri Kappa Sorority sent six members of the high school to the Shrine Temple to hear Reginald Steward, the famous pianist. They all enjoyed the program immensely. Warsaw 32, Auburn 19. We won ' t say much about this game, as it was our worst defeat of the season. The Annual sales drive began and ended this week, reaching the 300 mark in three days. Page 46 FEBRUARY 2. The Red Devils rallied to win from New Haven tonight. The final score read 27 to 23. The game was highlighted by a fight in the stands. 7. We took an easy victory from LaGrange. The score was 52 to 38. It is reported that some boys, after several hours in what they thought was the direction of LaGrange, arrived safely in Pleasant Lake. They were a little late to the game. 8. In one of the most exciting games of the year, the Red Devils turned defeat into victory against Central Catholic of Fort Wayne, 34 to 32. 10. Today was the tryout of Bob Quance ' s idea of selling defense stamps every bank day. It was a swell idea and a big success, as the first sales were $35.00. They ' ve been going up ever since. Hats off to Bob! 12. Today Mr. Miller announced next year ' s football schedule. We will play eight games, five of them at Carr Field. 13. Auburn was defeated at Columbia City in a thriller. When the final gun sounded, the score was 29 to 29, but Columbia City made four points in three minutes, winning 33 to 29. 14. We came very near beating North Side tonight. After getting off to a slow start, the team ran the score to 37-35, but there just wasn ' t enough time. 17. This afternoon, Robert Zimmerman presented a very interesting deep sea program. He told some of his most dangerous experiences and also many humorous stories of his life. He had an amazing display of deep sea fish, shells, coral, end sponges. When he finished, he was called back and responded by telling a few more stories. 21. The Red Devils came through with flying colors in their last, and perhacs most important game of the season, by defeating a tough Hartford City quintet 33 to 28. This gave us half of the conference cup. The other half was claimed by Bluffton. Cut-ups at the school dance . . A style show — and Miss McNabb . Deep sea diver and specimens 4:00 — Better stay clear of the door MARCH 27. The sectional -tournament opened Thursday night with one of the most important and most exciting games. An overflow crowd saw Butler trim Garrett by two points. There were two games after this, but both were smaller teams. Auburn didn ' t play until Friday afternoon when they knocked out a tough St. Joe five. Our next victory was over Fre- mont. Saturday afternoon Butler beat a hard fighting Ashley team, and Auburn took Waterloo into camp scoring a total of 70 points. Saturday night (the big game) Butler turned loose about five feet of dynamite in a Mr. Smith, and although the boys put up a good fight, the final count was Butler 44, Auburn 42. For the benefit of the teachers ' scholarship fund, the faculty dusted themselves off and played the senior class team in a fast moving bask- ketball game. The old men were sprier than expected and gave the seniors quite a battle. However, the youth were victorious in the end. The junior varsity beat the junior class team on the same program. Wiley ' s team beat Brown ' s team in the play off for the noon league championship. The score was 10 to 6. Aren ' t we proud? Guess whom Daub qoes withl . Bet he ' s slacking his workl .

Senior plaques were awarded to Pat Kain, Beverly Gonser, Ruth Mitchner, Jane Niles, and Gloria Davis. Other awards were given t o the underclassmen. The Junior-Senior Banquet was held at the Valencia Gardens at Fort Wayne this year. Because of the fact that so many students were absent the next day, it was held on a Friday night. The Baccalaureate services were held at the M. E. Church this afternoon. The sermon was delivered by Reverend Craven. The Commencement was held in the Alumni Gym, as is the custom. The seniors wore the traditional caps and gowns. The last school affair attended by the seniors is the school picinic at Hamilton Lake. Everyone was all out for a good time. And with this we end another school year. Page 50 i] T }j i n J fi I) jrriJirrjfii) I In athletics the idea of traveling is very predominant. Without it, our va- rious teams could not prove their skill. The more trips a team participates in, the more fame they gain. This, tve think, is especially true of our athletic aggregations. COACH YOUNG The success of any team depends upon its leader, and for eighteen years Zeke has proved his ability. This year his foot- ball team carried the heaviest schedule Auburn has ever known and went through it undefeated for the first time in A. H. S. history. The team also won the N. E. I. C. crown for the second year in succession. In addition, Zeke has charge of the physical education classes in all the Au- burn schools, and coaches the track team. Zeke Young is known to all the students as a swell coach and a great guy. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Auburn High School Athletic Association, or the A. A. A., is made up of all the students who purchase season basketball tickets, and the members of the football, basketball, and track squads. The A. A. A. is officially super- vised by our principal, Mr. Miller, but is managed by its officers. The student body elected this year. Bill Scott, president; Pat Kain, secretary; and Mr. Schooley, faculty-treasurer. The association has charge of the questions that arise concerning the athletics of the school, and it strives to stimulate enthus- iasm in the athletic features of the school year. Bill had charge of the pep sessions which were a big factor in keeping the student body interested in the athletic activities. The Girls ' Athletic Association takes care of the girls ' sports. Miss Stcmion, a newcomer to the Auburn faculty, and Beverly Gonser, president, led the girls through an active year. The other officers were Jean Renner, secretary, and Eloise Grogg, treasurer. Mr. Schooley William Scott Patricia Kain Beverly Gonser COACH SHOWALTER In Smiley ' s second year, he has proved himself a great success. We hope he is here to stay, for he has done enviable work with the basketball boys, and we can expect more in the future. He took the Red Devils to the final game in the sectional this year, losing by only two points. He also lead the team to a tie with Bluffton for the N. E. I. C. crown. To see him take the team in hand, one can tell he eats his whecrties daily. He also has sophomore history and freshman safety classes to handle each day. MANAGERS AND CHEER LEADERS Each year the managers ore chosen by the coaches. Coach Young ap- pointed as track manager, Dave McClintock, who filled the job very ef- ficiently. Dave Hines was selected by Mr. Showalter as basketball manager for the second consecutive year. He was assisted by Don Stebing. Their work did a lot toward keeping the team going. Wendell Cooper was the choice for manager of the football team and was kept busy looking after the equipment and players. A look at the record of the team this year shows he did a fine job. The football, basketball, and track managers have an important part in the success of their teams. Their job may seem insignificant until we realize thcrt the efficiency of the team is dependent on the efficiency of the equipment They are the part of the team that does not receive due rewards and cannot receive too much praise or credit. Pat Phelps and Ben Garrison were our yell leaders this year. They will both be back again next year to cheer the fellows on to victory.

Page 59 RED DEVILS WILLIAM McCOMB— Senior— Guard Bill was the fastest boy on the team. His long shots and drive kept him in the scoring column all season, but he really got hot in the tourney. The team will surely miss Bill next year. Bill was a four year man. PAUL DAUB— Senior— Center Another four year man is Dobe, that six- foot two ' er under the basket. His ability to hit a long one once in a while, and his aggres- sive tipping will be missed next year. He was also one of Showalter ' s love problems. WILLIAM SCOTT— Senior— Guard Boog is small but mighty. In his last year on the hardwood for A. H. S. he really left a record to be proud of. His ability to make one-handers and his pep on the floor kept the team rolling. RONALD PFISTER— Senior Guard This was Potts ' first and last year on the first ten. His ability to hit them from far out was his biggest asset. He was well known as the president of the Splinter-gatherer Club. LEON HESS — Senior — Forward This was Ick ' s only year on the big ten, too. He was a dead eye Dick on those one- handers from almost any place on the floor. This six footer gave plenty of help, tipping them in. I Page 60 RED DEVILS CLEO HAMMAN— Junior— Center Piedy is the big boy and one of the best on the backboard. When he ' s in there, there is some pep in the game. He ' ll see plenty of action for A. H. S. next year. ROBERT KLEEMAN—Junior—Forward Bob is the boy that stole Zeke ' s shot, and can really hit them. He can play either under the basket or out and is really tough in both places. Bob is another junior who will be in there battling next year. CARROLL HONESS— Junior— Guard Pink is that toughie with plenty of drive. He had some bad luck at the end of the season and during the tourney with a sore leg but will be back as a bright prospect next year. MARK CASEBEER— Senior— Forward This was Mike ' s last year on the squad. Those long arms made him a tough guard. He will be remembered for his defensive playing in the tourney, and was always in there bat- tling with plenty of spirit. RAY ROTHHAAR— Junior— Forward Ray is only a junior, but played his second year on the first ten. He has a good long shot, and is developing a tricky one-hander. An- other year of action is coming up for him. Page 61 - - B MMja-Aii. wiimi ■nriaw. ww.i !T- . a !!!«MMHH 1 •1 «af : ' ■■ ■- Daub sees something . . We catch Weather ' s eye . . . .

SECOND TEAM Zeke took the second team through another very successful season this year. They made a most impressive record of sixteen wins and four losss .

NOON LEAGUE AND INTERCLASS TEAMS Every noon you can hear around school this question, Wonder how noon league is coming out? Unless there is work to be done, one usually drops into the big gym to see. Mr. Coar had charge of noon league this year. Four class teams partici- pated as usual, playing on Monday and Tuesday. Nine other noon league teams were chosen for competition on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. The captains of these teams were all seniors, who drew the remaining mem bers of their teams.

A. is a state organization, the Auburn club was not organized until 1934. Membership is given to all girls who like active sports and want to earn awards. The major sports are speedball, soccer, volleyball, basketball, track, baseball, bowling, archery, and shuffleboard. The minor sports are badminton, deck tennis, tennis, golf, and bicycling. This year we think we hit the jack-pot as far as leaders are concerned. Miss Stanion took over the club shortly after school started, and under her supervision the interest has grown, and the club has moved forward. Beverly Gonser is president; Jean Folk is vice president; Jean Renner is sec- retory; and Eloise Grogg is treasurer. Each of these officers has filled her position ably. Standing: D. Kolb, M. L.

There were also a number of block A ' s earned, and state plaques awarded to Mary Alice Swartz, Feme Cripe, Ann Alexander, and Betty Schooley. Each year a state ploy day is held for all high school G. A. A. clubs. This year it was held in Muncie. Thelma Tallen and Helen Dicks were sent, and they spent two days chuck full of fun and sports. They made it a point to study the now popular game of soccer. On February 11, the G. A. A. sponsored a Valentine dance in the little gym for the entire student body. Standing: J. Wiley, M.

Physical exams were passed, equipment was issued, and the boys began parading nightly down to Earl Carr Field for their workout. The first meet was held in Auburn at the Earl Carr Memorial Field with a tough Butler aggregation. It was a good first meet. Auburn defeating the visitors, 93 to 36. A week later, April 23rd, the K-ville thinlies invaded Earl Carr Field, it was a keen battle all the way, but Auburn broke the tape first again with a 761 2 to 381 2 win. Did Auburn win this one? You bet. The winning streak went on. Colum- bia City came to town, but to no avail. They returned home on the short end of a 71% to 40 1 3 score. On May 5th Zeke took some of the boys to the Kokomo Relays. They were in there working for Auburn.

The Auburnites held second place at the end of the meet, falling only to Garrett, winner of the conference track crown. At the sectional track meet held at North Side field, on May 18th, Auburn failed to place a man. North Side won the meet. A record of three wins and one second in actual class competition is one to be proud of. Auburn ' s track teams have grown better year by year.

Auburn has just cause to be proud of its football team, since for the first time in the history of the school, they went through an undefeated season. They won eight games and tied one. This was, also, the heaviest season Auburn has ever carried, for nine games were played instead of the usual seven. In addition to this, the y were N. E. 1. C. champs for the second con- secutive year. Louis Palumbo won a guard position on the third all-state team. Bill Scott, Bill McComb, and Bob Brown received honorable mention. We are losing seven of the first eleven by graduation. We shared honors with Bluffton for the N. E. 1. C. basketball championship; both teams won five and lost two games in conference play. The Red Devils equaled last year ' s basketball record with twelve wins and eight losses. We went to the finals in the sectional, but lost to a hot Butler team. New Haven was re-admitted to the schedule. Last spring the track team had a fairly successful season, winning three meets, placing third in a tri-meet, and attending the Kokomo relays. The thinly-clads placed second in the conference meet held in Auburn, but failed to place in the sectional in Fort Wayne. The lettermen graduating this year are Bill Scott, Bill McComb, Paul Daub, Kenneth Shull, Harry Kreider, Jr., Bob Brown, Dorsey Stebing, Ronald Pfister, Gale Gafken, Earl Keller, Gene Wiley, Bob Quance, Mark Casebeer, Leon Hess, Bob Wise, and Leonard Clark.

By means of such trips the vieivpoint of the entire society can be broadened.

EDITORIAL Travel, the central theme of the Follies of 1942, is one of the most important phases of our present day life. The rapidity and force of travel can be noted in practically everything we do. In fact, in our present war effort, very much will be de- termined by who gets there quickest. Mr. Miller and Mr. Ettner were constantly on call to give us a helping hand with the problems which we could not solve. At their suggestion we tried to have as many of the organiza- tion pictures as possible taken outdoors. Along with them the entire staff cooperated by working promptly and efficiently. As much as was possible, they tried to work in the idea of travel throughout the book. Again the MoUoy Cover Company furnished and aided ex- tensively in the planning of our covers. Mr. Davis, our pho- tographer, was a great help with his constructive ideas. The Associated Engravers worked with us efficiently. We appre- ciate very much the invaluable aid that the Auburn Printing Company gave us. • — Gloria Davis Page 75 Top Row: P. Mitchell, M. Brown, B. Guild, J. Hendricks, I. Miller, E. Trovinger, V.

The first and third Tuesdays of each month this notice appears on the bulletin board to remind the one hundred members of the club that something of interest is stirring for them. It may be a chili supper, a lecture by Dr. Bonnell Souder, a demonstration by a hair stylist, a song test, or some similar program. This year the Girl Reserve Club broke a precedent by electing as president a junior, Barbara Schaab. Previously a senior had claimed that honor. Her generous supply of enthusiasm and leadership carried the G. R. Club through an eventful year. Little Helen Moody helped in a big Viray as vice presi- dent. Jean Musser filled the bill very neatly as secretary. As treasurer. Sue TviTo G. R. officers Tell us again. Miss DeLancey Page 76 Top Row: J. Cupp, M. Williamson, J. Renner, F. Schooley, J.

To back up the plans of the Girl Reserve were Miss DeLancey and Miss McMath, who served as directors. A Thanksgiving dance and the Girl Reserve Conference at Garrett were features of special interest this year. Active in helping make these two events successful were Thelma Tallen, Helen Moody, Pollyanne Western, Barbara Schaab, Claudia Cooper, and most all the members helped at the dance by donating the refreshments. When everything else that is good seems to be falling to pieces, it is vitally important that the Girl Reserve really live up to their code. Not just once in a while, but constantly they must be living it. A Girl Reserve is loyal to God, loyal to friends, gracious in manner, and at all times sincere. The G. R.

Besides holding regular meetings at the Y. M. C. A. every second and fourth Tuesdays of the month, the club participates in a number of activ- ities. Its program this year vi as quite varied. Of special interest were a talk on army life by Mr. Schooley, a talk concerning the air corps by Mr. Wright, and a dancing lesson by a few Girl Reserves. Another one of the year ' s highlights was a Father-Son potluck at which Mr. Russel Earl of Fort Wayne entertained with a speech. Thanks to the efforts of the Hi-Y, the entire school enjoyed dances in the little gym. Students danced to the music of our local orchestra composed of Bob Kleeman, Keith Jackman, Jack Douglas, and Keith Barnhart. A very special dance featured by the Hi-Y was a gala political ball on the eve before the school election. Again the local orchestra furnished the music. Hi-Y doesn ' t concentrate all its time on frivolities. A brief explanation of their pin assures you of that. The three sides of the triangle represent mental, physical, and spiritual growth. The club strives to develop the best there is in its members. For the first semester Bernard Kelly was elected president of the organiza- tion. Harry Kreider was chosen vice president. The secretary was Dorsey Stebing and the treasurer, Bob Quance, Harry Kreider was elected president with Gene Wiley vice president the second semester. For secretary lerry Kelly was elected. Bob Quance was re-elected treasurer. For the entire year Mr. Ettner was the school leader, Mr. Kreider the Y adviser, and Mr. Raub, the business man adviser.

The crowd roared! Another victory was chalked up for the Red Devils of the gridiron v hich closed the season with eight wins and one tie. A red chenille block A and a stripe on their sweater were rewards for the following football stars: Paul Daub, Robert Brown, Kenneth Shull, Ronald Pfister, Bill Scott, Bill McComb, Robert Quance, Gale Gafken, Harry Kreider, Dorsey Stebing, Robert Wise, Dave Hines, Calvin Daub, Bill Myers, Cleo Ham- man, Roger Kain, Everett Yoder, Patrick Purdy, Robert Kleeman, Carroll Hon- ess, Ray Rothhaar, Louis Palumbo, Eugene Stebing, James Pendlond, George Hidy, and Wendell Cooper, manager. It ' s the last quarter, five seconds to go, with the score 40-40. The ball leaves the hands of a red and black clad player in the middle of the floor. It arches toward and — through the hoop! With the report of the gun another basket- ball triumph is added to the glory of A. H.

Along with the fun, the girls took defense and handicraft work seriously, as that was the main object of the social meetings that were held twice a month, alternating on Wednes- day evenings. Some of the most outstanding events of the year began with a wiener roast held at one of the club members ' homes, skating parties at the Silver Moon, dances, parties with the F. F. A. boys, and a spring banquet at which the senior club members were honored. As a reward for the candy girls ' hard work they were honored with a party. Remodeling the study room and laboratory of the home economics depart- ment was chosen as a project of all the club girls. To this the freshmen mem- bers contributed their ability by making small rosettes in the school colors and selling them at the tourneys, which was a great success. They, in return, do- nated the money toward new draperies for the rooms. Besides this the girls purchased a triple-tier filing cabinet for the home economics room with the excess money earned from the candy sales at the tourneys. The club was under the careful supervision of Mrs. Christy, formerly Miss McMath, a new member of the faculty this year. As officers we selected as president, Ruth Emerson; vice president, Evelyn Werner; secretary and treas- urer, Billy Jean Walter; and candy manager, Betty Wirts. In remembrance of the club, the girls purchased small novelty pins in the shape of a teakettle bearing the numerals H. E. Club ' 42. As the good deed for the year, the club sent Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets to needy families. What are you doing, Russ? We got the attention of one Top Row: D. Bender, F. Go- ings, D.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Future Farmers of America had a successful year under the supervision of Mr. Hornaday. They met the first and third Tuesday nights of each month in the high school with Max Heffley, as president; Charles Armstrong, vice president; John Mason, secretary; Wilbur Pfierman, treasurer; Gale Gafken, reporter; and Fred Goings, viratchdog. ' Green Hand degree, and six received the Nineteen boys received the Future Farmer degree. Many of the boys won high placings and educational trips in 4-H competi- tion. Paul Schock won second and Joe Mason third place on beef steers: Robert Wise, first on his colt; Lawrence Boger, first in advanced corn. Boys winning high contest honors were Max Heffley, first in state vegetable judging; Max Heffley, Estel Smith, Charles Armstrong, and Ralph Heffley, first in the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad grading, identification, and judging contest in the state muck crop show at LaPorte, Indiana, receiving the silver plaque awarded by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for the second time in addition to the cash award. Joe Mason won a place on the district livestock judging team at Kendallville and judged at the State Fair and the Purdue Roundup. Max Heffley, Robert Wise, Charles Armstrong, and Wilbur Pfierman were junior leaders who helped enroll and supervise 4-H club boys with their projects during the summer. Social activities which added interest and enjoyment included skating and camping parties, parties with the Home Economics Club, and F. F. A. con- ventions.

It ' s the Auburn High School Band. Every time there is a festival or parade near or in Auburn, our band is not far from the front. The band is faithful at every ball game at the school. You know there is nothing like some rousing march music to pep up a cheering section or a team if the luck is against them. Likewise, our band is good as a concert group. They bring romance to cur very door step. You con see that swashbuckling, laughing hero when the band plays The Barber of Seville. Just imagine you ' re in Spain, and you ' ll sing and laugh with him. The band also includes in its repertoire such numbers as Elmer ' s Tune end Concerto For Two. As usual, each year they put on the Spring Concert, which is famous all over this part of the state for its fine quality of performance. Mr. Wilcox has done a grand job in training the ninety odd students into an A-1 band. When on the march, Wanda Tallen, assisted by Patricia Kain and Eileen McClintock, keep the band in tempo and provide some spectacular baton twirling. THREE CHEERS FOR THE AUBURN HIGH SCHOOL BAND!

ORCHESTRA Ding] Dingl The second period of the day has begun. Three days a week I await this time with foreboding, but on Monday and Friday I await it with anticipation. The period starts like any other, but after a short while I hear strange sounds emitting from the very floor. Gradually these sounds blend together to form a sort of scale. Suddenly without warning I hear a soul- stirring tango, and as if by m.agic I am transported to far off, sunny Spain. I see the senors and senoritas gaily dancing and romancing, the toreador and matadors shouting, and the caballeros serenading their sweethearts. In the midst of this reverie the music stops, though not for long. Ahl I hear fifes, then drums, later trumpets. These all merge into La Marseillaise, and I find myself living during the French Revolution, in a time of strife, turmoil, and unrest. It seems as if I have lived since the Creation. I ' ve waltzed with Strauss, starved with Beethoven, triumphed with Wagner, and hopped with Goodman. Lest I stray too far away, my thoughts are turned toward home by the stirring strains of Stars and Stripes Forever or the haunting, plaintive melody of Stardust. Mr. Wilcox, the director, is doing splendid work with the orchestra. All those who hear them are lifted on a magic carpet of song to a perfect dream. The orchestra plays for many programs in Auburn. They are on hand for the Junior-Senior play and take part in the annual spring concert. Bring out the books Show us how to cut paper, Wes! Standing: R. Rothhaar, T. Tallen, D. Kintner, B.

JUNIOR-SENIOR PLAY EVER SINCE EVE Women have always been getting men into trouble — ' Ever Since Eve ' . Johnny, the editor of the P. H. S. paper, and Spud, his associate, had laid a mountain of plans for the Penguin. They erupted, however, when Susan and Betsy entered and tried to run the paper. With the help of Miss Willard, the journalism teacher, and Mr. Quinn, the principal, they decided to work together. Another eruption came when the southern lass from Tennessee, Lucybelle Lee, started lead- ing all the boys astray — including the take ' em or leave ' em editors. To get Johnny ' s mind down to business again, Susan had Preston and several other football players take Lucy- belle to practice. They wanted a three-colored cover for the Christmas issue. Susan employed the barter system to get it. Johnny and Spud got the measles (They thought it was love at first). Dur- ing this time the girls worked hard on the paper. It was a great success, but it was too good to be true, for two items, which had been put together as one, looked like a mar- j g ' g ot dead— just iciini riage announcement of Miss Willard and Mr. Quinn (It did hap- pen soon after). The boys discovered that the Penguin had earned its money by a crooked pinball game and tried to destroy the evidence. They were caught in the act by Cappy. He ar- rested the whole group, but Mrs. Clover convinced him that it wasn ' t anything serious. Mr. Clover, an absent-minded but intel- ligent father, secured a job for Susan and Johnny on the city newspaper. Johnny and Susan, Spud and Lucybelle, and Betsy left for the dance, happily, in rhythm to the Conga.

Notes inspiring love, Notes that wing their ways. To everlasting glory. So said Dryden in his choral odes, and so sings our harmonious girls ' chorus. When we hear The Gypsy Trail, Ciribirribin, My Lover Is a Fisherman, and The March of The Little Tin Soldiers, we want to throw our books out the window and hit the open road. The wander-lust has entered into our spirit, and we dream of ro- mantic lands. The Girls ' Chorus hove a laugh Now, they get down to work India has its Bombay, Hawaii its Waikiki, Scotland its Loch Lomond, and Mexico its Gaucho, but we — we hcrve our girls ' chorus. Under Miss Mary Brandon ' s master hand, their achievements are outstanding. At Christmas they presented a program of very difficult, ancient carols. They also gave a program at the Court Theatre, and last April, they gave an entire program of classical and semi-classical numbers. In this day and age there is nothing like music, especially vocal, to bring us closer to our neighbors and to boost our morale. Beverly Gonser and Frances Schooley have proved to be very efficient accompanists. Besides improving their singing, the girls are learning the cultural background and the thematic construction of the differ- ent songs they sing. All this helps them appreciate more fully the real quality of fine music. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, GIRLSh Page 85 Top Row: Mr. Shooley, J. Kelly, R. Kreider, E. Kel- ler, B. Kelly, F. Goings, W.

Any officer ot the different activities will agree that in spite of the fact their position re- quires work, it is fun. For the opinion of the freshman officers, ask Bill Schaab, George Rodecap, Ruth McClin- tock, or Sue Hamilton. For an opinion of the more experienced, go to the sophomore of- ficers who are Jack Molitor, Bob Kreider, Jean Renner, and Joyce Wiley. The representa- tives of the sophisticated juniors, Don Seavers, Don Stebin g, Betty Armstrong, and Eleanor Trovinger, will also testify to that fact. Harry Kreider, Earl Keller, Helen Dicks, and Ruth Graham, senior officers, will readily agree. Every student who buys a season basketball ticket becomes a member of the A. A. A., Auburn Athletic Association. A. A. A. officers this year were Bill Scott, president; Patricia Kain, secre- tary; and Mr. Schooley, treasurer. The Home Economics Club is one of the most active. Its of- ficers were Thelma Tallen, Ruth Emerson, Billie Walters, June Dosch, Marjorie Hersh, and Betty Wirts. Girls with a yen for sports joined the Girls ' Athletic Association. G. A. A. officers were Beverly Gonser, Jean Folk, Jean Renner, and Eloise Grogg. Any sophomore, junior, or senior girl may join the ranks of the Girl Reserves. This year ' s officers were Barbara Schaab, Helen Moody, Jean Musser, and Sue Sommers. To join the Hi-Y Club a boy must be elected for membership by the entire club. Bernard Kelly, Harry Kreider, Dorsey Stebing, Bob Quance, Jerry Kelly, and Gene Wiley were the Hi-Y officers. The Future Farmers of America is made up of students in the agriculture class. F. F.

Those who won first or second prizes in the local and state contests make up the interscholastic group. Gloria Davis, Beverly Gonser, Jack Weathers, and Keith Jackman comprised the discus- sion group v hich went to Fort Wayne. Those excelling in English were Patricia Kain, Gloria Davis, Beverly Gonser, Mary Ellen Smith, David McClintock, Pat Mitchell, Pollyanne Western, and Mary Fretz. Shop boys get down to work Mr. Weathers tells him how! Geometry contestants were Frances Schooley, Joyce Wiley, Bob Kessler, and Bob Kreider. Ann Schooley, Ellen Weathers, Lenore Boger, Richard McKenzie, and Bill McCleary were in the algebra contest. A. Schooley, B. Kessler, and B. Kreider were fortunate enough to compete in the state contest. Wesley Clark entered the advanced math competition. Eloise Dilgard ' s 4-H work took her to the state fair. Agricultu re students who were members of the live stock team, county crop judging team, or first place winners in the county fair are included in the interscholastic group. The fol- lowing were outstanding in these different fields: Ralph Heffley, Gale Gafken, Max Heffley, Charles Armstrong, Bob Wise, Joe Mason, Bob Dilgard, Gene Shambaugh, Bob Harding, Kenneth Baughman, Estelle Smith, John Mason, and Bob Walters. CI- Page 87 ART GROUP There is beauty in everything though not everyone can see it. Some see a lovely picture in a deserted house settling sideways into the gross of an old road. Others see an unsightly shack that should be torn down. The study of art gives one that appreciation of the beautiful Miss Sellers instructs the students in the various phases of art. In the class this year were Jack Smith, Wayne Rennecker, Robert Dilgard, James Stebing, Warren Lige, Robert Hoffermon, Ray Steward, Hubert Stackhouse, Gordon Smith, Gene Shambaugh, Doyne Ferris, George Rodecap, Wayne Patee, Delmar Johnson, Donald Sharp, DeWayne Donley, Maurice Shanton, Dorsey Ste- bing, Francis Rodebaugh, Gloria Davis, Jane Niles, Sue Douglas, Bill McComb, Elmer Guinn, Leo Hinsey, and Robert VanZile. MANUAL TRAINING Manual training is included in Auburn High School ' s well rounded curriculum. Mr. Gosper very ably supervises this course. The boys re- ceive excellent training in making mechanical drawings, making and reading blueprints, gen- eral handicraft, and the use of power tools and woodcraft. Manual training students pictured are Robert Dilgard, Donald Souder, Robert Harding, Frank Baird, Dwight Kintner, William Rutherford, How- ard McDaniel, Kenneth Baughman, Ted Wolf, Mervin Carnahan, William Scott, Hubert Hess, David Miller, Ralph Smith, Darrell Treesh, Gale Gafken, Frederick Gee, DeWayne Donley, Rob- ert VanZile, Robert Walter, Howard Grimm, Dale Clark, Richard Chorpenning, Bill Scott, Jerry Kelly, James Fitch, Bill McComb, Walter Kail, Earl Kel- ler, and Edwin Hornaday. , J f 1 }imk% 1. rml ' ti ' A ' w •1 1 1; mi m COMMERCIAL GROUP Take a letter, please.

Page LIBRARIANS A report for economics? Just tell one of the stu- dent librarians. She will scan the shelves of the school library and as if by magic hand over a reference book to you. If the student librarians can not find what you want, Miss Dawson, the head librarian, will surely get results. Few of the students realize the store of valuable knowl- edge that ring of keys the librarians carry around unlocks. There is something in the library to satisfy the taste of most anyone. You may travel to foreign countries by means of the National Geographic or Life magazines, rest your mind by reading a good fiction story in the Good Housekeeping, or keep up on world events by reading the nu- merous newspapers. If you don ' t think it is a real task running the library, ask Lois Robbins, Jane Hendricks, Ann Schooley, Mary Fretz, Peggy Swartz, Virginia Shambaugh, Lucille Grogg, Nona Rose Ruther- ford, or Kathryn Mclnnis. CLASS OFFICERS and ADVISERS The time — a fev days after the opening of school in the fall. The place — the high school assembly room. The purpose — to elect class officers and advisers to guide the affairs of the classes for the coming year. The officers pictured are Bill Schaab, George Rodecap, Ruth McClintock, Sue Hamilton, Mr. Ettner, Bette Armstrong, Eleanor Trovinger, Don- ald Seavers, Donald Stebing, Robert Kreider, Jack Molitor, Joyce Wiley, Jean Renner, Mr. Coar, Mr. Weathers, Helen Dicks, Harry Kreider, Earl Kel- ler, Ruth Graham, and Mr. Young. BANKING CASHIERS Last Tuesday we had 100°o. Let ' s try to keep it there. This is Mr. Miller encouraging the stu- dents to save those pennies that want to travel in any direction other than that of the savings bank. To keep the record of each individual ' s savings straight student cashiers were chosen. Those who acted in this capacity were Bill Scott, Maurice Shanton, Don Sockrider, John Foley, Francis Rodebaugh, Robert Clark, Edwin Hornaday, Wes- ley Clark, Patricia Patrick, Jean Cox, Eleanor Tro- vinger, Joanna Morr, Peggy Brown, Loma Musser, Betty Kayser, Ann Schooley, Bonnie Refner, Ellen Weathers, Janet Carmer, Thelma Tallen, Barbara Schaab, Beverly Gonser, Ruth Mitchner, Helen Moody, and Eloise Grogg. Page Poor Potts! Mr. Ettner ' s always cutting up The Juniors get together . . . Three Junior heroes and coach SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES All work and no play makes Jack (and Jill) a dull boy (and girl). Both the faculty and the student body firmly believe in this old maxim. A number of extra-curricular activities have organized to provide for the play. If gingham curtains appeal, then there ' s the Home Ec Club for you. Do you like the feel of the sod beneath your feet? Future Farmers of America is the answer. The sports minded may join in noon league or the Girls ' Athletic Association. Orchestra, band, and chorus provide for the musically inclined. If none of these have any appeal, then certainly Hi-Y for the boys or Girl Reserve for the girls will fill the bill. Sometimes we fear the parents think these extra activities are just some- thing to give Johnnie and Susie an excuse for going out. Of course this is utterly false. (Or is it?) Really there is more to it than that. Each club does have something constructive to offer the members. The students learn to ac- cept responsibility, to work and plan, and to become more tolerant of the views of others. The activities odd a touch that makes the student better fitted to go out and make the best of his life.

The Junction ' s Jentlemen ' ; Bank was robbed last Wednes- day night by a group of no- torious criminals from the un- derworld. The bandits entered the bank through a rear win- dow, and after climbing five flights of stairs, made their way to the safe which was in the cellar. Using a highly ex- plosive compound of one part oxygen to two parts hydrogen, they cracked the safe, break- ing only two bottles (and de- railing the Capitol Limited). The derailing gave the folks their first good glimpse of this great motor, as it was only a blur on its daily runs through the Junction. In this they ac- cidentally touched off the alarm. Sheriff ShuU who thought it was his alarm clock, was immediately aroused. Up- on learning of his mistake, he rounded up his posse and headed for the bank. His plans failed, however, because the bandits had gathered their melo-er-loot and fled across the high — (beg pardon) ave- nue when the sheriff arrived ■ % m H ■ . ' . -a = 11 v.i-., tm kJ m • ' ii « H im fc  zi on the scene. Sheriff ShuU opened fire killing two horses and a cow (in a nearby field). The battle was on! It was at this point that Pro- moter (better known as Miser) Butler, Mike Jacob ' s only rival, appeared on the scene. He immediately erected bleachers on both sides of the avenue and sold them at a dollar per seat. Within fifteen minutes after the battle had started, the entire house was sold out, and Miser was searching frantically for more bleachers. Butler cleaned up, or at least tried to. However, during the course of the battle, it started to rain, and Miser was forced to give rain checks to the en- tire multitude. The downpour stopped the battle until the next day. During which time the bandits returned to Ango- la in their armored ' 31 Ford which was painted red to cre- ate an illusion and served well as camouflage. Sheriff ShuU returned to catch up on lost sleep while Miser was counting his profits. He sold the derailed streamliner for junk to a defense dealer. The battle was late in get- ting started the next day, be- cause the bandits were busy taking care of another job. (It is rumored that one of the bandits was seen chasing a chicken through a cornfield). They soon arrived, however, and the people in the grand- stands were howling for the battle to begin. The men loaded their guns and the bat- tle was on. It did not last long because of Sheriff ShuU ' s fast footwork. He completely (Continued on next page) Page 93 WEEKLY DRIZZLE NOTICE — WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF AN AIR RAID 1. As soon as the bo mbs start dropping, run like heck (it doesn ' t matter where as long as you run like heck). Wear track shoes if possible, so that if people in front of you are slow, you won ' t have any trouble getting over them. 2. Take advantage of oppor- tunities afforded you when air raid sirens sound warning of attack. For example: (a) If in a bakery, grab a pie or cake. (b) If in a tavern, snatch a bottle (and be sure it ' s full). (c) If in a movie, grab a blonde. 3. If you find an unexploded bomb, always pick it up and shake well, maybe the firing pin is stuck. Then if that doesn ' t work, heave same in- to furnace. The fire depart- ment will come later and take core of the situation. 4. If an incendiary bomb is found burning in a building, throw gasoline on it. You can ' t put it out anyway, and so you might as well have a little fun. If no gasoline is available, throw a bucket of water on it and lie down — you ' re dead anyway. (The properties of the bomb free the hydrogen from the water causing rapid combustion. In fact, it will explode with a heck of a crash). 5. Always get excited and holler bloody murder. It will add to the fun and confusion and will scare the devil out of the kids. 6. Drink heavily, eat onions, limburger cheese, garlic, etc., before entering a crowded air shelter. It will make you very unpopular with the people within your immediate vicin- ity, eliminating any unneces- sary discomfort that will be more prevalent if people are crowded too closely. 7. If you should be a victim of a direct hit, don ' t go to pieces — lie still and you won ' t be noticed. 8. Knock the air wardens down if they start to tell you what to do. They always save the best seats for themselves and friends anyway. CAN YOU IMAGINE? The Faculty — absent? Shutt — going up town with- out Shanton? Sam Brown — a long-faced reformer?

They gave their names as Lucky Louie Palumbo, Wieney Bus- ter Stebing, Slippery Suck Carr, Butch Hines, and Shifty Myers, all well known in criminal circles. Sheriff Shull showed his bravery by capturing the bandits in so short a time. The audience, however, was displeased and demanded their money back. Promoter Butler was forced to refund the gate receipts, suf- fering a heavy loss. Sheriff Shull was disappoint- ed because at first sight of the bandits he thought he had captured the rest of the Beeh- ler Boys to add to his collec- tion on Spook Hill. Page 94 WEEKLY DRIZZLE MEN Once upon a time I thought I understood men and could marry one of them with my eyes shut — but alasl I have discovered that it you flatter a man it frightens him to death. And if you don ' t flatter him he is bored to death. If you permit him to make love to you, he gets tired in the end. And if you don ' t he gets tired in the beginning. If you believe all he tells you, he thinks you are a fool; and it you don ' t he thinks you are a cynic. If you argue with him in everything, you soon cease to charm him. If you wear gay colors, rouge, and startling hats, he hesitates to take you out. And if you wear a little brown toque and plain tailor modes, he takes you out and gazes all evening at some othe. ' woman in gay colors, rouge, and startling hats. If you are jealous of him, he cannot endure you, and, if you ore not, he cannot under- stand you. If you join in his gaities and approve of his smoking, he vov s you are leading him to the devil; and if you disap- prove and urge him to give them up, he vows you are driving him to the devil. If you are affectionate, he soon wearies of your kisses; and if you are cold, he soon seeks consolation in some oth- er woman ' s kisses. If you are a sweet, old- tashioned clinging vine, he doubts that you have a brain. It you are modern, advanced and independent, he doubts that you have a heart or scruples. If you are cute and baby- ish, he longs for a mental mate, and if you are bril- liant and intelligent, he longs for a helpmate. And all the time, though he is falling in love with you for just what you are, he is spending the days trying to remodel, to make you over into what you are not, never were, and never can be, but A Man ' s a man for all that. ' Isn ' t it the truth? OLIVE OYL A BIT OF HUMOR Phyllis Williams (visiting the mess hall tor the first time) — Oh, I ' m just dying to taste some of that track meal I ' ve heard so much about.
