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.

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

ADMINISTRATION Since cur country is now engaged in the war, we have all tried to help the war effort as much as we could. 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.
