Our one aim is to obtain this most important goal. Victory. The students of Auburn High have done much to help our nation achieve its goal. For one week they worked laboriously bringing in scrap. The teachers have been working as air raid wardens and were always wilhng to help in the important job of rationing whenever they were needed. The strenuous physical fitness program is preparing the students for their future participation in Uncle Sam ' s armed forces. We all feel sure that our nation as well as our school will obtain its ultimate goal, Victory. Page 3 A VIEW OF Page 4 UBURN HIGH Page 5 AIR VIEW OF A. H. S.

The use of films in the classroom and assembly programs has made learning a pleasure instead of only a duty. Faculty members are always on the alert for -ways and means of making the school life of the students more inter- esting and useful.

Haggarty SCHOOL BOARD The Auburn board of education is appointed by the city council to help administer school programs and to be responsible for school opera- tions. It IS composed of three members each of whom has an outstanding record in the city of Auburn. Mr. E. A. Husselman has advanced from secretary to president. He has conducted a fine monument business in the city of Auburn for sev- eral years, and he has wide business connections. Mr. D. K. Armstrong, secretary, is a new member of the board this year. However, he is already well known since he has for a number of years been a successful grocer in Auburn. Mr. J. D. Haggarty, treasurer, has actively served on the board in recent years. He is well fitted for his position, having had experience as cashier in the Auburn State Bank for fourteen years. During the past year he has been made president of the bank. Mr. H. L. McKenney, the executive officer and the superintendent of our school, has served for many years. To him we owe the splendid accomplishments of the year and through his dependable judgment the school has continued to progress. These men represent the enforcement of state laws in education. They are well fitted in every way for the guidance and administration of school affairs. We are proud to have men with such qualifications to manage our school.

Mrs. Mildred DeBaun came to us from Bicknell, Indiana, to replace Miss Margaret Stanion, as our new physical education teacher and leader of the Girls ' Athletic Association and Girl Reserve. Miss Ednaferne Jones replaced Miss Opal DeLancey as our typing teach- er. Mr. Gerhart Schwartz, our new speech and English teacher, replaced Mr. Kenneth Ettner, who is now in the service overseas. Mr. Schwartz had to leave us in January to answer the call of Uncle Sam. He is now in the U. S. Navy. Mr. Schwartz was re- placed by Mrs. Frank Weathers for the remainder of the school terms. Mr. Harold Kot- tlowski, our new band and orchestra instructor, hailed from Indianapolis to replace Mr. Pres Wilcox, who resigned on account of ill health. For convenience this year, we have just one ring for our fire drills instead of the three different signals as before. We have also practiced aid raid drills this year. When the alarm sounds, all the students must remember to find shelter in the safest places. These places are on the inside walls in the halls, far awa ' from places of danger in case we are ever bombed. Mr. Miller has faithfully carried out these drills, and th ' students have cooperated in every way. Page 1 1 ADMINISTRATIO N Our school this year was very fortvinatc in hearing one of the most accompHshed musicians ever to be heard in Auburn High School. He was Mr. Pierce Knox, a blind student who entertained us on his xylophone, by playing many selections for the students. Mr. Cameron Parks, former coach of Garrett High School, who is now in the service, gave an interesting talk on his collection of Indian relics. He displayed several unusual arrow heads and hammers. The Parent-Teachers ' Association has been very active this year. Officers for the organization were Mrs. C. C. Smith, president; Mrs. F. W. Weathers, first vice-presi- dent; Mr. Lloyd Miller, second vice-president; Mrs. J. R. Tallen, secretary; Mrs. Wm. Quance, treasurer; Mrs. N. E. Yoder, council representative. Among the problems which they have discussed at their meetings has been ways and means of providing better recreational activities for the students of Auburn High School. Besides buying records, sponsoring and chaperoning school dances they have given much of their time on the gas and oil rationing boards. F AC SCIENCE AN Mr. Donald Coar A. B., M.

Many of the teachers have devoted hours of their time on the kerosene, fuel oil, gasoline, and sugar rationing boards after school hours. The school sponsored a scrap drive to help clean up our community and to bring in our old scrap and dedicate it to our country for the war cause. Competition was held between the four classes, with the juniors winning over the seniors by a small margin. A total of sixty-two tons of scrap was brought in by the students. We had a huge pile of scrap behind A. H. S. We also had a key drive of equal importance. The students brought all their old keys from home and put them in a jar in front of the assemblv. The high school students brought in a total of 5 09 keys. With the other schools tak- ing part in the drive a total of 3 822 keys was turned in for defense. The Home Economics Club promoted the sale of defense stamps and bonds, by having members of the club sell them in the hall every Monday and Friday morn- ings. This made the students conscious of the half-filled stamp books they had once started. FACULTY VOCATIONAL SUBJECTS AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mrs. Mildred Debaun Miss Ednaferne Jones B.

Many of us didn ' t go be- cause of the gas situation. Central defeated Auburn 37-27. We might add that Central was a little wor- ried all during the game because the Red Devils really played ball. 8 The boys of the varsity received their letter sweaters today. They were very fortunate to receive them, since no more will be made because of the shortage of material. 12 Tonight a dance and party was held for the members of the band, spon- sored by the band. Band members all had a good time and for once they got to listen to the music in- stead of playing it. 1 3 The lucky people who had saved gas tickets or had C cards followed the winning teams to the semi-finals at Muncie. 1 S The Follies goes to press. Another school dance was held to- night.

Each student had to buy either a bond or a stamp to get into the dance! A very good idea, girls! Auburn High school tracksters swept through their first meet of the season by scoring 68 5-6 points to 26 1-3 points for Fremont and 21 5-6 for Butler. Three field records were broken bv the Red Devils. 18 Tough luck — we came out on the tail end of the quadrangular meet held in Ft. Wayne. We were handi capped by the fact th.it we arrived late. 19 A large crowd attended the school dance. 22 Coach Young ' s trackmen defeated our old rivals, Garrett, by chalking up a score of 6 1 2 to 4 1 4.

Many of the boys of the class of 1943 are already preparmg themselves for service in the armed forces. If these boys enter into the service of their country with the same spirit that they ' ve entered into school activities, we fell sure that it won ' t be very long until victory is not just a hope but an actual real- ity. We wish to thank Mr. Miller and Miss Dawson for their tireless efforts and willingness to help with the many problems presented by the staff. Without their aid, we would have had a difficult time putting out our annual. We are grateful to the Molloy Cover Co. for helping us plan our cover. Mr. Kelso Davis gave us many helpful sug- gestions for our photography. Many of the changes in our book were suggested by the Fort Wayne Engraving Co. We are also grateful to the Auburn Printing Co. for the help they gave us with the printing. We are happy to present to you The Follies for 1943. — Betty Brown.

GIRLS ' CHORUS Have you ever been sitting peacefully in a classroom and suddenly found yourself listening to voices, those sweetly pitched tones of girls? To listen to the girls, you might think they were picked from a large group, although all of them are volunteers. Miss Brandon has drilled these girls until, when you hear them once, you want to listen to them longer. For awhile during the period the scales and exercises can be heard drifting around the building, but soon the songs begin. The girls sing the pieces they enjoy. Among them these are the favorites: Swing Along, Arrow and the Song, Dance of the Winds, and Flower of Dreams. Miss Brandon has done very fine work with the chorus again this year. At a Christmas program given at school the chorus, accompanied by the orchestra, sang selections very becoming to their voices. The exacting task of accompanying the chorus on the piano was given to Frances Schooley. We sincerely hope that Miss Brandon may continue her fine work through many years to come. The splendid songstresses which she has developed in the past have proved her ability as an instructor of a girls chorus. Best of luck. Miss Brandon!

One Mad Night is the story of the experiences of Don Cutter a playwright, accompanied by Wing, his proverb-quoting Chinese valet. They go to the Cutter mansion, a lonely house in the hills, to complete his latest play in peace and quiet. The house has been deserted for years, a series of mysterious murders having given it the reputation of bemg haunted. Imagine Don ' s astonishment when he finds the house tenanted by a number of very strange people, including John Alden, Priscilla, Mr. Hyde and Lady Macbeth, who are lunatics under the care of Dr. Bunn, whose home nearby has burned down. They are really quite harmless, but Don doesn ' t know this. Among the inmates is Lucille, a beautiful girl with an amazing story of persecution and intrigue. Like a true Lochinvar, Don is just about to ride to her rescue when his fiancee and her mother put in an ap- pearance with their maid. Depression — one of the funniest colored char- acters in years. From this point, everything happens, including talking ghosts, screaming women, disappearing guests and, for a climax, the ap- pearance on the scene of an escaped murderer fleeing for his life. Don succeeds in rescuing the lovely Lucille from a sinister fate only after a series of thrillingly funny escapades.

The band has done splendid work this year. It owes much of its success to the new instructor, Mr. Kottlowski. Under his fine super- vision, the band has sometimes gotten no further than the end of the in- troduction of a piece of music in one period, but you may be sure that band members play it the way their instructor desires. When you see those bright red and black uniforms and those caps with their military braid and perky plumes, you may be certain that you are going to be inspired by a fine quality of music. The High School Band can be counted on to share its part in those exciting basketball games. What would we do without them to cheer us up when defeat seems just around the corner? Among the colorful selections by the band are Washington Post, Highlander, Officer of the Day, and, of course, that stirring school song Crimson and Black. Mr. Kottlowski has done excellent work with our young musicians and he will be remembered for many years to come. We only wish for his continued success in Auburn High school.

The third period on either Tuesday or Thursday has begun with a clash of sad B flats, violin A ' s, and a little commotion from the other members who can ' t seem to hold that excess energy any longer. With a determined look of patience on his face, Mr. Kottlowski, our newly acquired music director, asks them to Please be quiet. We are often asked to start out the day with something lively, such as Jolly Coopersmith or On Guard March. Next we hear the haunt- ing strains of Two Guitars or perhaps Dark Eyes. The pleasure is then over for awhile. The arpeggios and exercises come next. Everyone wonders if this is really necessary to develop good musicians, but from the finished product, they agree that it is. The orchestra members have presented themselves on several occa- sions such as plays, programs, and Christmas affairs. Last of all we join with the band at the very colorful highlight of the year. Yes! You guessed it! The Spring Concert. Mr. Kottlowski has made achievements which are worth consider- able recognition. He is exceedingly popular with all of his young musi- cians, and we consider him along with the masters. May his work and stay with Auburn High school be extended into many years. Orchestra at work!

The club is sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. and is under the supervision of Mr. Gene Holdeman, the local ' Y ' secretary. Mr. Gerhart Schwartz, the public speaking teacher, until his enlistment in the Naval Reserve in January, aided Mr. Holdeman. Officers for the first semester were Ray Rothhaar, president; Donald Stebing, vice- president; Ray Quance, secretary; and John Foley, treasurer. Officers for the second semester were Ray Rothhaar, president; Ray Quance, vice-president; Dick Kleeman, secretary; and John Foley, treasurer. The boys of the Hi-Y meet every second and fourth Tuesday of the month at the Y.M.C.A. Their meetings consist of short business meetings followed by interesting discussions. During the year they have had several speakers, including Mr. Carl Stallman, county superintendent of schools, Mr. Gene Holdeman, Mr. Schwartz, Robertson Clark, and others. Movies were shown by Mr. Forrest Gerig, Mr. Harlan Moore, and Mr. William Roeder. At Christmas time the boys sent Christmas baskets to the needy. They have spon- sored dances for the school, and last, but not least in the minds of the boys, they have had a number of potlucks. H ' l-Y Boys line up Page 60 Top row. J. Kelly, C. Daub, C.

A. boys. The girls also sold candy at games and after school, defense stamps and bonds in the corridors of the school. In the latter project they sold as much as $3 00.00 worth of bonds and stamps in one week. Many of the Home Economics girls carry a project through the summer in 4-H work. Trips were awarded to June Dosch, Rosemarie ShuU, Mary Jo Cool, Marjorie Mil- ler and Helen Mason to 4-H Camp.

A. is one of the oldest organizations in the high school. It is chapter number 18, one of the oldest chapters in the state. Members of active enrollment this year are thirty-seven. The meetings were held every first and third Tuesday of the month. The object of the organization is to train for leadership, promote agricultural activities in the county, assist in 4-H club work and learn by so doing. Officers for this year were President, John Mason; Vice-president, Robert Walter; Treasurer, Wilbur Pfierman; Secretary, Robert Harding; Reporter, Robert Dilgard ; Watch Dog, Jack But- termore; Conductor, Gene Wilson; and advisor, Mr. Hornaday. The average attendance at meetings was twenty-five. A grain judging team com- posed of Robert Walter, Max Heffley, Estel Smith, and John Mason won in the district judging contest at Goshen. As a result the team received a trip to the 4-H Round Up at Purdue University, where they represented the district in the state contest. Six of the members attended the 4-H camp at Camp Mack on Wabee Lake near Milford, Indiana. The prizes won in competition with other chapters in the county by different mem- bers during the year were two championships, nineteen blue ribbons, thirteen red rib- bons, and fourteen yellow ribbons. Nine members were presented with eversharp pencils for completmg five or more years of 4-H work. Social meetings with the Home Economics Club provided much enjoyment for the group. Nine members were initiated for the Green hand degree, and six members advanced to the Future Farmer degree.

GIRL RESERVES As a part of their public service, the girls made victory scrapbooks which were sent to different parts of the country to the boys in the armed forces. The Girl Reserves Club sponsored dances for the entire school. Potlucks were en- joyed by the girls themselves, at their meetings. Their business meetings were followed by entertainment furnished by some of the girls. Besides, they held interesting dis cussions and heard Dr. Bonnell Souder give a health talk. Other meetings were spent in singing songs and working on their scrapbooks. Each meeting is completed with tht repeating of the Lord ' s Prayer. Each year the Girl Reserves enjoy a Mother and Daughter banciuct which gives the mothers of the girls a chance to get acquainted. When G. R. meetings roll around everybody knows she will have an evening of interest and fun! G. R.

H. S. in contests with other schools. This year, because of reduced transportation facilities, many interschool contests were not held. However 4-H work has been continued, and our interscholastic group this year is confmed to the boy ' s and girl ' s work in that club. The boys were outstanding in the following par- ticular fields: Wilbur Pfierman, first p ' ace in advance corn, first place in beef club record ; Kenneth Baugh- man, beginning in corn; Ralph Heffley, beginning in potato club and crop judge; Gene Wilson, first in cow- calf record; Joe Mason, first in pig club; Estel Smith, first in corn record, crop judge; Gene Shambaugh, first in advance garden; John Mason, crop judging; and Robert Harding, first in judging.

COMMERCIAL GROUP whether )ou need someone to take shorthand, type your letters in speed demon fashion, or keep books accurately. Auburn High has any or all of them The commercial group is made up of students who have excelled in one of the commercial subjects: short- hand, advanced secretarial work, bookkeeping, or typing. If you are interested in securing a good secretary or bookkeeper, see Mr. Gumpp or Miss Jones; thev can furnish you with either. Students in the commercial group for this year are; Irene Penland, Donald Stebing, Max Smolinske, Ralph Smith, Betty Brown, Audrey Smith, Jeanette Cox, Jean Folk, Mary Fretz, Sally Soboslay, Lois Rodecap, Mary Williamson, Jean Cox, and Jean Musser. Page 66 LIBRARIANS The responsibility of being a librarian is more than merely checking books and magazines in and out of the library. They know where to find the answers to ques- tions asked by students of A. H. S. whether they be for economics, speech, English or health. The librarians are Joanna Morr, Jane Hendricks, Beverly Bolley, Mary Fretz, Barbara Wilson, Sue Som- ers, Lois Rodecap, Mary Williamson, Lois Reeder, Erma McCollough, and Kathryn Mclnnis. The librarians deserve much credit for helping students prepare lessons which would otherwise be un- prepared. They help run down that elusive fact which makes a lesson complete in its preparation. Many books on special subjects are checked out to the classrooms, and the room librarians have charge of these. Their work is a help to both the room teacher and the regular school librarian in keeping record of the books as well as a help to the students in findmg ma- terial. ART GROUP Under the fine supervision of Miss Sellers, the students m the art class have accomplished much this year.

Zckc looks proud Studious Sophomores Page 6 fllfiLHICS Page 69 flifiLnics Athletics is one part of school life in tvhich there is a place for every student. Athletics adds very much to education. One of its most important accomplish- ments is the development of sportsmanship and character. Students are extremely grateful for the opportunity for partici- pation in athletics. Page 71 COACH YOUNG Zeke, as he is better known, is carrying the burden of track, football and physical education, and he has ably assisted coach Showalter in basketball. As Zeke has been a member of the fac- ulty for the past 19 years, he has pro- duced many athletic teams and ath- letes which not only he, but many others, can be proud of. Zeke has done a very fine job in preparing the juniors and seniors for army training which will prove very beneficial later on. A. H. S. is looking forward to a swell football team again next year, Zeke. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Athletic Association (A. A. A.) is supervised by Mr. Miller and Mr. Schooley. This association is made up of all students who pur- chased season basketball tickets and the members of the football, bas- ketball, and track teams. The coaches select their own managers for the different sports. Norman Cooper was chosen as football and basketball manager, and Dave McClintock as track manager. The officers elected by the student body did a fine job in filling their positions. Carroll Honess was chosen as president, Jean Folk as secretary, and Mr. Schooley as faculty treasurer. This organization has done very well and should be given credit for their success and hard work. Mr. Schooley J. Folk C. Honess Page 72 COACH SHOWALTER Smiley is the tall, dark and hand- some basketball coach. This is his third year as coach of A. H. S. He has been credited with turning out some swell teams in the three years he has been here. Smiley is not only a good coach, but it is rumored that he is quite a killer in the class room. He has made many friends in a short period of time and is liked by all. Mr. Showalter continues to make his safety class and world his- tory classes very interesting. His his- tory collection attracts the attention and admiration of all the classes. MANAGERS AND CHEER LEADERS Each year the coaches select managers to help them care for foot- ball, basketball, and track equipment. Last year David McClintock was Coach Young ' s choice for track manager. It was Dave ' s second year as manager and the fact that he was chosen to serve a second year proved that he was a capable manager. Norman Cooper was chosen football manager, and he did a great job in keeping the fellows supplied with their needed equipment. He was also chosen manager of the basketball team, which is one of the toughest jobs. His work did a lot to keep the team going. The fact that Norman was chosen manager for both football and basketball gives evidence of his good work. Pat Phelps and Paul King, a freshie newcomer, were the yell lead- ers of A. H. S. this year. Pat has for four years drawn forth lusty yelling even from bleacher warmers. A. H. S. will miss her next year. Paul ably aided Pat and will remain as yell leader. He is sure to do a good job next year. We owe a lot to our yell leaders. Their pep and enthusiasm are like a tonic to fans in the dumps and a team on the little end of the score, and aid greatly in bringing victory to the Auburn teams. N. Cooper M. Haynes D.

The Pat prepares to do her duty look pretty dressy for footballers FOOTBALL SEPTEMBER 11 The Auburn Red Devils played their first game of the season on home grounds. They defeated the Columbia City Eagles 13-6 in a hard fought battle. SEPTEMBER 18 Auburn defeated the Decatur Yellow Jackets by a score of 3 8-0. Auburn ' s second and third team saw plenty of action in that game. OCTOBER 2 The Red I5evils seem to have no pity for the Bluffton eleven since the game of three years ago. Auburn drubbed Blutfton by a score of 46-0. OCTOBER 9 The fourth straight victory came to Auburn when the Red Devils defeated Hicks- ville 3 9-0. The second and third teams played the biggest share of the game. OCTOBER 16 Auburn started a dreadful power drive, but took a nose dive with Central of Ft. Wayne. Central scored all of their points in the first half of the game, the rest being an evenly fought battle, with Auburn scoring in the last period. Central won that game 26-6. OCTOBER 24 Another setback was given the Auburn eleven. Warsaw won in a close and hard fought game by the score of 13-6. It was the best game of the season regardless of the outcome. Page 76 Footballers relax Ready for action They wish they were out there We hope they win FOOTBALL OCTOBER 3 The heart-breaker of the season came when the Garrett Railroaders upset the Red Devils by a score of 6-0. The Railroaders seemed to have everythmg under control throughout the game. Letter awards and silver footballs were given to the following boys: Bob Kleeman, Cleo Hamman, Roger Kain, George Hidy, Dave Hines, Louie Palumbo, Calvin Daub, Eugene Stebing, Bill Myers, Ray Rothhaar, Carroll Honess, Jim Carr, Jim Pendland, and Jack Weathers. The following boys received letters: Jack Kelly, Bill Kuhlman, Fred Gee, Everett Yoder, Gene Simanton, Gene Butler, Keith Barnhart, Rob- ert Mochamer, Charles Foltz, and Jim Stebing.

This was Max ' s first and last year in first team competition. No better choice could have been made to fill this position. Max helped the team save many a game. Max ' s service in the tourneys is especially appreciated by A. H. S. CLEO HAMMAN, Senior. Piedy is our fighting pivot man who has a one handed shot that aided the team greatly. His spu ' it will be missed next year. His height and his skill on the backboard will make him difficult to replace. RAY ROTHHAAR, Senior. Ray ' s 6-ft., 3 -in. frame was a great asset to the Red Devil five this year. He not only has a tricky one-hand-shot, but a net-burning long shot. This was Rav ' s third and last year on the varsity. CARROL HONESS, Senior. Pink has mastered an uncanny shot which has proved to be a great asset to the team. This shot sa ed many a game for the Red Devils. The team is certainly losing a good player this year. RAY QUANCE, Senior. Quance is a speedy little guard whose tricky one- handed shots baffled his opponents. Ray was always under the basket when needed there. His powerful drive kept the team rolling throughout the season, and we ' re certainly going to miss him next year. Page 78 RED DEVILS ROBERT KLEEMAN, Senior. Bob ' s ovcr-the-hcad shot came in h.indy mjny times. He took on the role of a guard this year and turned in many fine performances. We ' re going to miss his ability to play from any place on the floor. JACK KELLY, Junior. Jack ' s height and that mighty drive has given him a good standing on the hardwood. He also has the ability to hit the basket from a long way back. Jack will be back again next year to help us out of the pinches. DONALD CORK ' WELL, Sophomore. Corky has really hit the high mark in bas- ketball. His quick thinking and speedy playing were nc ' cr ending. Corky will have two more years on the squad in which A. H. S. hopes to see a lot more of his smooth peppy shots. CHARLES FOLTZ, Sophomore. Chuck ' s ability to fight and to recover the ball proved very successful. He has two more years of action coming up. Chuck ' s a big boy and his height will be a great asset to our team. EUGENE SIMANTON, Junior. He is the stocky guard whose eye is especially adapted for long shots. When Gene ' s in action the other team has little hope of getting the ball. He has one more year for action and should prove yery useful. A. H. S. will expect big things from him next year. Page 79 Piedy takes aim Red Devil manager Division of the sectional net Sectional winners BASKETBALL For their first engagement on the hardwood the Red Devils journeyed to Bluffton and were defeated by a score of 34 to 23. The locals turned in their first victory of the season Wednesday night at Butler by defeating the Windmills by a score of 3 5 to 29, thus avenging a stinging defeat by the Butler outfit in the sectional last year. The Irish of Central Catholic from Fort Wayne proved to be a little too much for the Red Devils to cope with as a score of 3 9 to 3 6 decision in their first home game of the season shows. The Auburn Red Devils in a wild battle with Angola, had their share of the fouls, with only four men on the floor the last few minutes of the game; but they won by a score of 4 1 to 3 3 . South Side visited the Auburn gym to defeat the Red Devils by a heartbreaking double overtime which ended 37 to 36. The Red Devils turned back the Kendall ville Comets 34 to 23, Friday night at the Alumni Gym, in a game of thrills. The Red Devils traveled to North Side, where, after their annual tussle, the Red- skins had scalped the locals to the tune of 3 9 to 27. Central of Fort Wayne soundly trounced the locals in their annual struggle by about the largest margin in any previous Tiger-Red Devil contest when they piled up a 61 to 3 margin of victory. Auburn, in turn, trounced the Decatur five by a score of 54 to 34, even though the Red Devils were very much off in their shots. The Red Devils traveled to Waterloo to hand the Wildcats a trouncing of 34 to 29. Auburn staged a sensational rally at the Alumni Gym by snapping out of their slump to defeat the Washington Panthers by a 27 to 26 score. Auburn handed their old rivals, the Garrett railroaders, a high class trouncing by an impressive score of 42 to 27. - Page In the huddle They must feel good Piedy cuts down the net Basketball boys £;ct their sweaters BASKETBALL For a second time this season the Auburn Red Devils won a thrilling contest at Kendallville, nosing out the Comets 3 8 to 3 5. Warsaw came to Auburn where one of the most interesting games of the season was played. The Tigers whipped the Red Devils by a score of 44-3 8. Auburn journeyed to New Haven for their second defeat in a row. The Red Devils had trouble connecting with their shots and lost by a 3 8 to 36 score. The Red Devils again got in the groove when they whipped Ashley, 5 2 to 26. The Auburn five lost their chance for winning the conference when Columbia City handed them a 37 to 3 3 defeat. Auburn journeyed to Hartford City for their last game scheduled for the season. The Red Devils were red hot, scoring a 46 to 2 victory over the Airdales. In the sectional turney held at Angola the Auburn Red Devils hurdled Orland, their first opponent, in the second game of the tournament, by a score of 54 to 2 5. In their second game the Red Devils played one of their most brilliant games agamst their old rivals, Garrett, trimming them by an impressive score of 42 to 29. The Auburn five ran up a score of 46 to 29 when they eliminated the third op- ponent, Angola. The locals won the sectional tournament by a score of 54 to 22 when they eliminated the Waterloo Wildcats. The Central Tigers of Fort Wayne eliminated the Auburn Red Devils by a score of 37 to 27 in the Fort Wayne regional at North Side. The Red Devils put up a gallant battle, and really made the Tigers play ball for their victory. The Basketball team of 1943 has really earned its silver stripes this year. Coach Showalter has expressed himself as being more than pleased with their performance. They have had a splendid record, meeting their final defeat only in the regional at the hands of the team which won the state championship in the state finals. Central of Fort Wayne. Page 81 n r.

SECOND TEAM The Imps, as the second team is known, came through with a very successful sea- son this year winning, thirteen out of their sixteen games. Due to travehng difficulties the second team several times had to play different schools from those scheduled with the varsit) ' . Zeke was their ever diligent and efficient coach. The Red Devil seconds started their successful season by whipping Bluffton 24 to 9. In the preliminary to the Butler game they crushed the Butler B team with an im- pressive score of 40 to 12. An avalanche of baskets in the last period of the preliminarv game with the Cen- tral Catholic B team gave them a score of 0 to 2.V Again in a preliminarv game at Angola they took the top score of 27 to 19. On the night of the South Side game the Auburn seconds put on an interchiss ex- hibition. The Archers brought but one team and the Auburn B squad was divided into two teams which played the preliminary. North Side handed the Imps their first defeat of the season by a score of 26 to 23. They suffered their second defeat at the hands of Cen- tral by a score of 3 2 to 29. Then they resumed their pace by taking Metz 29 to 24. The Imps had little trouble with the Waterloo seconds and came out on top, with a 40 to 18 victory in the preliminary. Scott Center suffered a grilling de- feat at their hands with a score of 3 6 to 8. The Auburn seconds had little trouble in down- ing the Garrett seconds, and were never behind in turn- ing in a 41 to 26 victory. They also scored a victory b) ' taking the preliminary from the Kendallville B team by a 30 to 17 count. A thrilling overtime game from the Warsaw re- serves by the score of 27 to 26, was followed by a de- feat from New Haven by a score of 20 to 22. In the last two games of the season the Imps whipped Ashley by a score of 3 9 to 18 and Spencerville by a score of 22 to 16. The second team has proved by this excellent sea- son that they have the makings of a good varsity team in the next year or so, and, are likely to furnish us with an excellent brand of basketball. A.

NOON LEAGUE AND INTERCLASS TEAMS The Noon League games are those exciting contests which take pLice at the noon hour. These games serve the purpose of keeping the early comers out of mischief until classes take up and give some of the students who can not make the varsity an oppor- tunity to take part in athletics; but most of all they provide entertainment which keeps some of the students more interested in school life. The names of these Noon League Teams were Jaguars, Bears, Bobcats, Lions, Dodgers, Panthers, and Badgers. The captains of these teams were William Stanton, Eugene Stebing, James Carr, Don Seavers, Jack Weathers, Doyt Shimer and Calvin Daub. The Jaguars, captained by Jam. ' s Carr, won over the six other teams, scoring eight victories and loosing one game. The Bears captained by Don Seavers finished in second place with seven victories and three defeats. In the interclass tournament the Seniors, coached by Cleo Hamman were the winners. The Noon League teams were managed by Coach Showalter and Zeke Young. First and second basketball boys obtained worthwhile experience as coaches and referees for the teams. Noon Leaguers. in action Page 83 M. Houtzer, j. McNabb, M. Rennc Wilson, B. Widdicombc, I.

Ruth Mitchener, Gloria Davis, Patricia Kain, Beverly Gonser, and Jane Niles received state awards. This year the girls are looking forward to the banquet at which they will receive their awards with a mixture of enthusiasm and anxiety. The major sports this year have been track, soccer, basketball, and bowling. The minor sports were archery, badminton, volleyball, and speedball. The girls have been very cooperative and enthusiastic this year. It certainlv is due in part to the fact that they have liked their teacher, Mrs. DeBaun, so much. Top row. J. P.itrick, V. Krick, S.

On account of the lack of transportation the girls were unable to attend Play Day, which is held annually at differ;;nt association centers. Nevertheless the girls enjoyed the dances, potlucks, and meetings in which they had part. The initiation of Freshmen girls was especially enjoyable because the girls were such good marks for our jok.

The Physical Fitness Program was arranged by the United States govern- ment for the purpose of bettering the physical development of the students and prepar- ing them for war work and military duty at the end of their school training. Thorough physical examinations were given to see whether students had any physi- cal defect which would prevent his doing the more strenuous exercise. The Physical Fitness classes started with ralesthenil exercises for fifteen minutes followed by forty-five minutes of different competitive sports. This program of exercises and sports was followed for four days of the week, the other day being set aside for written work and recitation concerning improvement of health, prevention of disease, first aid, and physical development in general. The Physical Fitness classes are taught by the physical education teachers, Mrs. DeBaun and Mr. Young. The first few days only calesthenic exercises were given to the girls and boys. As a result they complained considerably of aches and pains, but they gradually became accustomed to it, and now they really like it. Helping to win the war by the help of this Physical Fitness Program is their greatest aim.

The circumstances are strange indeed, for the scandal involves some of the high school students. If the situation is not relieved im- mediately, a large-scale movement may envelop our fair town. The critical situation may be blamed on five high-school students who per- sist on letting their hair grow long. These rogues are by name: Jack (the Bear) Douglas, Jim (Willy the Lion) Pendland, Don (Moe the Merciless) Kreamelmeyer, Jackson (Hairless Joe) Weathers, and Rod (Loan me a nickel, Baird) Kain. These boys have incurred the wrath of Barber Union No. 13 1-4 of Indiana. The Barber Union ' s chief complaint seems to lie in ths fact that the boys are destroying;; the barber practice here in Auburn. This is undermining the morale of the barbers and is affecting their standard of work, not to mention the fact that their regular clients are beginning to crab about the lacadaisical attitude shown by the barbers while receiving tonsiiory treatment. It is believed that the boys will be fired on from a second side when Bulldog Young gathers sufficient courare to tackle the | problem. No doubt Bulldog will play quite a part in the coming trial of these characters, as they are widely spoken of, and will probably turn state ' s witness. How- ever, the Zootsters are expected to put up a furious battle, being re- presented by their glib mouthpiece, Patrick Purdy, Having encount- ered each other on previous occa- sions. Bulldog and Purdy are sure to develop quite a controversy. Anyhow, the trial shall deter- mine whether or not the above mentioned characters shall have chin-length hair or crew cuts. More than likely, Young will use trick- ery or some sleight-of-hand in bringing out evidence. In any case, the Zootsters are said to be ready to meet all tricks and are prepar- ed to spring a few of their own. The faculty is gathering a hasty offense, and Keith ( R. S. V P. ) Showalter looms as a potential threat to the Zootsters. It has been rumored that he and Herr Young are contemplating a bold and withering line of questioning which is designed to catch the Zootsters off guard. But for a clearer pic- ture of what ' s happening, we now take you to the County Bug House — I mean Court House. Listen — A hush falls through the court room as Jackson Weathers takes the witness chair. The questioning is about to begin. Answer yes or no, fires Coach Young. Were you seeking to influence some freshmen to let their hair grow long? Yes, I was, and what ' s more, they are now loyal advocates of a school- wide movement to supply the necessary material for Zootlfi- cation. Coaches Young and Showalter now go into a huddle. They call the next witness which is Jim Pendland. Please tell the court, James, why this reform is going around school — by that we mean, why do you boys insist on letting your hair grow long? It ' s very simple to explain. You see, no gate who ' s got grit in his gravel is not going to go John Corn and cut his weeds. Either he ' s pitch in ' or he ' s a stiff kid. We don ' t take any Bennys or Joes loaded with tin. We like the cat that ' s ' with it ' but you don ' t seem to cut my jive. One more. Young and Showalter go into conference. Finally, Mr. Showalter demands that the an- swer of the witness be deciphered. Jack Douglass stands for the de- fense and offers to translate th:: re- marks. My colleague merely says that, ' any boy that has any sense in his head is not going to be corny and get his hair cut. Either he plays ball or he ' s a dead duck. We don ' t like traitors or guys with lots of money. We like the boy that agrees with us but you don ' t seem to un- derstand my talk ' . As Jack Douglas steps off the wit ess stand, he seems to be quite calm and collected. From where we are sitting, we can see the Zootsters in their favorite posi- tion (slouching) grouped around their attorney matching pennies. They seem very confident that they will win this case and do not worry over their chances of victory. In just a moment, Mr. Showalter will call his next witness who will prob- ably be Moe the Merciless Kreamel- meyer. Yes, he is going to call Moe to the stand. Blurb-goo-bloop-floop? I mean — ah — did you or did you not start the fad of wearing those CEN- SORED zoot chains? And will you kindly tell the court your accom- plices? Well, it was sort of a mutual proposition. You see. ' the Bear, ' the Lion, ' and I were stalled at the Little Petite Pheasant Feather Tea Shoppe taking a few whiffs when the idea struck us. We all said the same thing at the same time so I don ' t think any one of us could claim the glory. Purdy screams, I object, your honor. The line of questioning is irrelevant, immaterial, and be- sides, it isn ' t fair! Objection sustained! roars Judge James Carr. It appears that the zootsters have won the initial round. Now Messrs. Young and Showalter are shrinking off into a corner to patch up their arguments. It would seem to all that they are getting no place with their ' withering line of question- ing, ' and that the zootsters are givmg no evidence whatsoever. The jury and the spectators in the courtroom are growing more and more confused as to the out- come of this trial. Can it be that Mr. Young and Mr. Showalter are losing their grip? We shall see how they stand up under the blistering attack of the attorney for the de- Page 92 THE LATEST DOPE fense, Mr. Purdy. His first witness will be Mr. Young. Can you give the court 1 1 ,000 reasons why these youn boys should not wear lonr; chains? An- swer quickly! Mr. Young appears dum founded. His mouth is hanging open, and it would seem that he Is buck in-; a stone wall. His comrade, Mr, Sho- walter, is aghast with horror, as this was something they had not bargained for. Mr. Youn ' is still speechless. Now Purdy speaks to the jury. Aha, what ' s the matter, Mr. Young? Cat got your ton; ue? Now ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is there any need for the persecu- tion of these Innocent bovs? Surely, you as fine judges of character, can tell at a glance that these boys have been wronged. I should like to call Mr. Showalter to the wit- ness stand. We will take just a moment to give you a picture of the proceed- ings. This last dynamic speech of Mr. Purdy panicks the jury and they are already in tears. We can plainly see that Mr. Showalter is rattled. See here, Mr. Showalter, have you ever been in the hardware business? You haven ' t eh? Well, then, put yourself in a hardware store owner ' s place. How would you like to be forced out of busi- ness and into the poor-house mere- ly because a couple of coaches didn ' t want their athletes to wear these harmless zoot chains? Just think of this poor merchant when you make your plea to have these boys convicted. You ' ll suffer for this if these innocent boys are con- victed. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, are you going to stand idly by and see thc e boys torn from the bosom of their families? I plead— ! demand that these boys be freed, and that justice be done to their two persecutors ! ! These men should pay the supreme penalty — they should be punished unmerci- fully ! ! The effect is astounding, dear readers. The jury is filing into their chamber and no doubt a ver- dict will be reached soon. Here it is after only a few seconds delib- TODAY ' S NEWS IN PICTURES ' Can you identify the man in the trench coat in picture No. 17. This fugitive is wanted by the F. B.

Seeing a prospect of a legitimate vacation, they at- tempted to contract a case of chicken pox from our principle, Mr. Miller. Sensing foul play at the eration. The foreman of the jury is ready to give the verdict. A hush falls over the courtroom. We, the members of the jury, have reached the verdict. We find the defendants, the zootsters, NOT guilty, and we also recommend that Mr. Young and Mr. Sho- walter wear full zoot -suits and go without a haircut for a period of not less than one year ! ! ! Court ' s adjourned ! ! ! roars Judge Carr. And so a Jubilant and trium- phant group of spectators carry the victors out of the courtroom on their shoulders. No longer will the zootsters have to sneak down the side-streets on the way to school. And no longer will they have to reel in five feet of their chains when they are in the school. approach of the motley mob at hr. Cedar Street estate, Mr. Miller made hasty preparations for the siege to follow. Gathering up all the available furniture, a crude bar- ricade was quickly constructed. Then came the first assault which lasted almost an hour before both sides retreated to gather their forces. Principle Miller, sensing ul- timate defeat, telephoned to Gen- eral H. L. McKenney for advice and reinforcements. The General suggested piling a pound of lim- burger cheese in the doorway. Mr. Miller agreed with this, but was unable to purchase the cheese as he had used up all available pomts for butter. The attackers struck again, but a compromise was finally reached Then Mr. Miller agreed to take off only 2 percent for skipping school.
