But most of us are beginning to realize that our generation will not only have to keep peace after the war, but do most of the fighting to win it! More and more boys out of our class and the classes just ahead and behind us have entered the armed forces, and are either on the actual battlefields, or in training for them. These are the boys of the Class of ' 45 who went into the service before the beginning of this school year. Chuck Foltz entered the Navy in September, 1943. He received boot training at Great Lakes Naval Training Station. From there he went to Mississippi for armed guard training. Then he was sent to Cali- fornia and shipped out. He was overseas for eight months, but since last November he has been slationed at Port Chicago, Cali- fornia. Jack Krick entered boot training at Great Lakes in June, 1944. He then was sent to Norman, Oklahoma, for radar school. He now is stationed at Virginia Beach, Virgina. Bill Scott joined the Marines in Sep tember, 1943, and received training at Santi- ago, California. He now is fighting on Iwo Jima. To these boys, to the boys who left during this school year, and to the ones who will be leaving soon, this book is dedicated. They are helping to build for the future and the peace of the whole world. We are very proud of them, and deeply grateful.

One main goal of the future that every- one is striving for is a complete and lasting peace throughout the world. This cannot come about without understanding and co- operation among the peoples of all nations. Since the United States will be a leader in formulating and enforcing this peace, we must be ready to take our part wherever we are needed. Our four years of high school do much toward teaching us this nec- essary understanding of people, giving us practical knowledge for meeting the situa- tions of everyday life, and furnishing us the incentive to do our best as citizens of the United States and of the world. THE GYM AT NIGHT ■:■•:■ flDniinisTflflTion flflD CLASSES A rrnstr, lr Hc ggarty SCHOOL BOARD Superintendent McKenney and the three members of the board of education compose the executive body of Auburn High School. They formulate the school ' s policy and financial program. Mr. E. A. Husselman, president of the board, has run a fine monument business in Auburn for several years. He has wide business connections and many friends. For relaxation from the cares of business he chooses fly fishing in the northern Indiana lakes. He takes a special interest in all the activities of the school. Upon the shoulders of Mr. D. K. Armstrong, secretary of the board, rests the responsibility of running a grocery business amid the restrictions and regulations of war time. He likes to still-fish now and then to forget these heavy duties. Mr. Armstrong is deeply interested in boys and their activities. Mr. Haggarty is well fitted for the position of treasurer, as he started as a bank clerk and worked up to the presidency of the bank. He is an ardent golfer, and it would take a better than average player to touch him in that field. Mr. Haggarty believes that the best is none too good in a school system. Mr. H. L. McKenney, the executive officer, is an earnest Scotchman with an infinite capacity for hard work. He is the fortunate possessor of a great sense of humor, and is well known among the students and townspeople not only for his long years of achievements, but also for the bits of sly wit that pop in here and there in his conversation. Mrs. Teeter, ■ feathers, Mt. ADMINISTRATION This year brought eight new members to the faculty of Auburn High School. Eleanor Berkeypile took over the art classes, which had been absent from the curriculum ever since Miss Sellers left. Mrs. Cook undertook the duties of home economics teacher and sponsor of the Home Economics Club. She left in March to join her husband, who is in the armed forces, and Miss Phyliss Linville took her place. Miss Eleanor Cecil hailed from Muncie, Indiana, to reorganize our band for us. Mrs. Mayme Lillotte capably took over the public speaking classes, and gave us many fine programs. Miss Margaret Jones came to us from Georgia, and very ably assumed her duties as girls ' physical education instructress and sponsor of the G.A.A. Mrs. Artella Teeters replaced Mr. Coar as mathematics teacher. Mrs. Weiler left in February to join her husband, and Miss Henrietta Adams replaced her as music supervisor. It goes without saying, the older members of the faculty have continued to do their part in keeping up the high standards of Auburn High School. FACULTY SCIENCE AND SOCIAL SCIENCE MR.

G. Scott. The Assembly Service brought us the ever popular Mr. Zimmerman, who told us this year about hunting for sunken Nazi submarines to get valuable information.

HI-Y The 1944-45 Hi-Y began a very progressive year by electing for the first semester the fol- lowing officers: president, Robert Simanton, vice president, Robert Haynes; secretary, David Miller; treasurer, John Hines; and sergeant-at-arms, Dick Haynes. The meetings were held every two weeks on Tuesday nights. At these meetings the group discussed the problems of youth and the betterment of the community. The discussions follow- ed the standards of clean speech, clean sports, clean living, and clean scholarship. In the second semester the group elected Richard McKenzie, president; Dick Simanton, vice president; Ronald Armstrong, secretary; Robert Martin, treasurer; and Vito Palumbo, sergeant-at-arms . Mr. Showalter served as sponsor for the year, which included a packed schedule of pot- lucks and dances. The boys worked hard and lived up to their motto: To create, maintain, and extend throughout the community high standards of Christian character. Just resting? More good advice from Mr. Liddle.

Officers of Tri-Hi-Y. TRI-HI-Y A new club was organized at Auburn High School this year in the form of Tri-Hi-Y for girls. It is in coordination with the Hi-Y for boys and replaces the Girl Reserves. The purpose of the club is for the betterment of Christian character and moral standards. Over fifty girls turned out, and there have been about that many at every meeting. The club elected Irene Burtzner, president; Margaret Swartz, vice president; Patricia Bor- en, secretary; Beverly Bolley, treasurer; and Judy Ridenour, sergeant-at-arms. Miss Berkeypile was chosen as sponsor. As this was the first year for such a club, most 01 the time was spent in organizing it. However, the girls found time for a very successful potluck dinner and a dance, at which all members of the Hi-Y were the special guests. For the Youth Week Variety Show the mem- bers planned a miniature Gay Nineties Review. The club also had discussions on many of the serious problems of today. Top row: N. Vallieu, J. Faulkner, S.

The officers selected to lead the activities of the organization were Jane Schooley, presi- dent; Ruth Wynne, vice president; Patricia Ohmart, secretary; Joyce Engle, treasurer. Miss Margaret Jones, the physical education teacher, was the sponsor. The club held many interesting activities during the term. The girls had several potluck dinners besides the annual Christmas party. Last year at the spring banquet, Rose Ann Kraus was presented with the Sportsmanship award, Jane Krick with the plaque for the outstanding athlete, and Jane Schooley with the plaque for the outstanding freshman.

BAND The Auburn High School band was sucessfully reorganized by Miss Eleanor Cecil at the beginning of this year. Under her expert direction and with the full cooperation of all the mem- bers, the band has gained the respect of the students and the people of Auburn. The band has participated at basketball and football games, patriotic programs, and the Christmas program. It has added color to our games and given greater enthusiasm to the spectators with its rousing marches. The band did excellent letter-formation marching, and the spectators were well pleased with the twirling accomplishments of the majorettes. Some of the band ' s favorite numbers are, Festival Overture, National Emblem, Mon- arch, Branura, King Cotton, and, most important of all, the Star Spangled Banner. Not many of us will forget the way it played the school song before some hard-fought battle on the gridiron or hardwood. Majorettes take their stand. Miss Cecil leads the band. Turn around. Jo! Marching lormation. The chorus relaxes. The triple trio. What ' s the matter, Barbara? GIRL ' S CHORUS The girl ' s chorus has successfuly entertained the public and members of the student body with beautiful songs and perfect harmony. Mrs. Weiler direct- ed the chorus the first part of the year. She left in February to join her husband, and Miss Adams capably took over her duties. Of particular interest was the Triple Trio, consisting of nine voices, which entertained at the junior-senior play and various other programs in connection with school activities. Members of the Triple Trio are Betty Lou Dailey, Sue Alexander, Patricia Beardsley, June Smith, Betty Smith, Doris Grant, Anne Schooley, Helen Mason, and Betty Lou Snyder. Among the many songs in the repertoire of the chorus, especial accom- plishments were, Panis Angelicus, Path Leading Down to the River, The Sleigh, and It Cannot Be a Strange Countree. Expertly accompanying the chorus was the pianist, Jane Schooley. Top row: D. Beardsley, B. Corkwell, M. Edwards, M. Albright, B. Hathaway, D. Zitzman, M. Baughman, D. Stanton, J. Smith, G. Hamman, D.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club of 1944-45 met on the second and fourth Tues- day nights of each month. There were thirty-two members this year under the supervision of Mrs. Cook. Officers chosen to serve were: president, Lenora Boger; vice president, Josephine Boren; secretary-treasurer, Helen Jeannette Mason; news reporter, Mary Alice Renner; candy manager, Kethleen Peters; assistant candy manager, Jean Emerson; program chairman, Gwen Wolf. The program committee planned the club ' s recreation, which included potluck dinners, hay rides, chili supper, dances, and F.F.A. parties. The club has not had all play and no work this year. As money making projects they sold candy after school and ice cream at ball games. To help the war effort the club sponsored the selling of stamps and bonds every Wednes- day morning. We are proud of our 4-H girls, who had a busy summer. Two of our girls, Helen Jeannette Mason and Lenora Boger, received trips to Chicago for out- standing achievements in 4-H work. Top row: B.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Again this year, as in every year since 1931, Mr. Hornaday sent out a call for enrollment in the Future Farmers of America. This year 27 vocational agri- culture students responded to the call. The purposes of the F.F.A. are: to organize and promote various agricul- tural judging teams; to study rural leadership, including parliamentary procedure; to practice thrift; to discuss prominent agricultural developments; to enroll and supervise 4-H club members and to sponsor social events. The following officers were elected: Dale Armstrong, president; Norman Stump, vice president; David Carmer, secretary; Donald Smith, treasurer; Joe Walter, reporter. A special activity of the club is the 4-H show, which was held in Auburn from September 26 to September 30, inclusive. Local club members showed projects consisting of corn, calves, poultry, pigs, lambs, potatoes, and vege- tables in competition with members of other schools in the county. This year Auburn more than held its own and walked off with 35 first, second, and third platings with a total cash value of over $50. Picking seed corn. The Professor explains! A studious(?) class.

THE INTERSCHOLASTIC GROUP We present the prize winners of A.H.S.! The interscholastic group includes all of those people who have entered into competition with other schools and won either first or second prizes for their efforts. There was a large range of projects, and Auburn took its share of the prizes. We have a representative number of fine artists. Included in this group are Sue Hamilton, Richard McKenzie, Carol Kessler, Joan Gams, Beryl Baughman, Edward Strauss, Jo Ann Holdemcn, and Ellen Weathers. We have our poets, too, Jane Schooley and Rossmarie Shull. Among the students also was found a talent for theme writing and penmanship. Those students are Nancy Hooker, Carol Cooper, Beryl Widdicombe, Carolyn Kokenge, Beverly Sellers, Susie Weathers, Madelyn Houtzer, Betty Haggarty, Anne Schooley, Richard Beerbower, Philip Butler, Max Glass, and Donna Musser. Another outstanding division in this group was the vocational representation. These people were chosen by the prizes they won on their 4-H projects. They were Gwen Wolf, Kathleen Peters, Pat Culbert- son, Norma Heffley, Ruth Wynne, Joe Walter, Gene Beaty, Paul Post, Kenneth Warner, Alice Kieffer, Elwood Brown, Helen Mason, Lenora Boger, Yvonne Harry, Donald Smith, and Dale Armstrong. Everyone looks so-o-o busy. What ' s funny, sis? The great artists! ! (?) Ag. prize winners. Who done it? Bill, in character. That ' s telling him, Jody! Mrs. Lillotte explains. JUNIOR - SENIOR PLAY — BEST FOOT FORWARD Best Foot Forward was presented very successfully November 8, 9 and 10 before very large au- diences by our new speech teacher, Mrs. Mayme Lillotte. Since so many turned out for the play tryouts, Mrs. Lillotte double-cast most of the girls ' parts. The play was a hilarious comedy about complications at a boys ' school during prom time.

The first semester is devoted to mechanical drawing. The second semester is occupied by making wooden stools, clothes racks, book ends, magazine stands, etc. The students, un- ART GROUP After a year ' s interval without art, it appeared on the schedule of classes again this year. Under the supervision of Miss Eleanor Berkeypile, the art class was reorganized and resumed its customary high standards. .• The art students have been kept very busy with outdoor sketching, designing, figure drawing, still life, pen and ink drawings, and clay modeling. Another project of the group was to make the advertising posters for the junior-senior play. Entries of the art class took many prizes at the Fall Fair. Top row: E. Strauss, A. Grimshaw, P.

L LIBRARIANS Where ' s the book on Marco Polo ' s travels? With this the librarians ' troubles are only beginning. How- ever, those chosen to assist the students in the school library this year proved very efficient and capable. Auburn High School was very lucky to be blessed with such an appropriate and complete library, which has contributed much to classroom study and discus- sion. Those chosen to head the library in their assembly periods were Delores Stanton, Lenora Boger, Nila Wal- ters, Paula Girardot, Beverly Sellers, Patricia Walker, Jean Scott, Estelle Purdy, Barbara Pickett, Judith Ride- nour, Irene Burtzner, Sara Jane Showers, Betty Smith, and Beryl Widdicombe. INDUSTRIAL ARTS der the direction of Mr. Cosper, are taught how to operate wood lathes, hand saws, planes, and electric drills. This course gives the boys practical train- ing in the construction and repair of wooden articles. The knowledge acquired in shop probably will be very convenient later on in home or office repair work. Top row: F. Scott, R. Tindall, J. Walter, E. Beaty, G. Pebbles, E. Simpson. Second row: R.

B COMMERCIAL GROUP Auburn High School really developed some fine commercial students under the giudance of Mr. Gumpp and Miss Buckley, as evidenced by the outstanding achievements in the fields of typing, shorthand, book- keeping, and advanced secretarial training. The outstanding students in shorthand were Gwen Wolf, Beverly Sellers, and Paula Girardot. Those who excelled in bookkeeping were DeLoss Herbolsheimer, Jean Scott, Dale Clark, Hubert Hess, Donna Musser, Louise Englert, Ronald Ball, and Betty Lou Dailey. Advanced secretarial training produced Irene Burtzner, Maxine Bowman, Constance Feagler, and Judy Ridenour. D. He PHYSICS GROUP Because of the war, physics proved even more popular this year than ever among both boys and girls. Physics is a study that gives understanding of the practical, everyday things of life. From the time the pupil opens the water faucet in the morning until he snaps off the light at night, he is applying some prin ciple of physics. These principles may be connected with anything from the airplane to football. Top row: Mr. Schooley, J. Carper, R. Beerbower, N. Cooper, L. Griffith. Second row: R. Haynes, R. Simanton, R.

BOND AND STAMP SALESMEN Since the country is engaged in a total war, Auburn High School has tried to help and cooperate in what ways it could. Among others, it took over the task of selling bonds and stamps to the students and teachers every Wednesday morning. This movement, which is sponsored by the Home Economics Club, has proved to be very successful this year. The highest record for any one day during the first semester was $320.05. The total amount of sales made during the first semester was $1,587.55. Under the supervision of Miss Cecil, with Jean Scott, Lenora Boger, and Bessie Hathaway assisting, the Wednesday morning collections were efficiently taken care of. The salesmen for the home rooms were Carl McNutt, Paul King, Ronald Ball, David Miller, DeLoss Herbolsheimer, Phyllis Farrington, Bev- erly Bolley, Mary Jo Cool, Dorothy Beardsley, Jean Ann Trout, Gwedolyn Shambaugh, Beryl Widde- comb, Dorothy Graham, Maxine Swain, Maxine Bowman, Sue Hamilton, Carol Heffley, Bonnie Refner, Norma Heffley, Joan Boger, Ruth Clevenger, and Barbara Gonser.

His physical fitness program really keeps the boys in tip-top shape. Noon league, under his direction, has brought out hidden skill in many boys, as well as providing many thrills for sports fans. Last year his track team won the N.E.I.C. and broke several conference records. He has high hopes for this year. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Auburn High School Athletic Association, better known as A. A. A., chose Lauren Griffith for president and Anne Schooley for secretary. Our principal, Mr. Miller, officially manages the association, and Mr. Schooley is the faculty treasurer. The association is made up of members of the football, basketball, and track teams, and all the student body. The or- ganization strives to pep up enthusiasm in the athletic features of the school year. Not many of us will forget Mr. Schooley ' s railroad yell. A newcomer, Miss Jones, our physical education instructress, has charge of the Girls ' Ath- letic Association. Jane Schooley was elected president of G.A.A. this year; she is assisted by Ruth Wynne, vice president; Patricia Ohmart, S3cretary; and Joyce Engle, treasurer. Lauren Griffith lane Schooley Anne Schooley Mr. Schooley r COACH SHOWALTER This year Coach Showalter produced a basket- ball team that went to the semi-finals at Muncie. This is the first time Auburn has been there since 1939. His boys were defeated only twice during the regular season, and they set a record by beating all four of the Fort Wayne teams. In addition to his athletic duties, Mr. Showalter impresses freshmen with importance of safety and good manners and teaches world history and geog- raphy. MANAGERS AND YELL LEADERS Of the various school activities, those of student manager and yell leader, who are chosen each year by coaches Young and Showalter, are the two most interesting. This year ' s selec- tions have proved to be very competent. The choice of Richard McKenzie for football manager for the second year is evidence of how well he has carried out the responsibilities of this important job. The track equipment was very efficiently managed by George Rodecap. David Miller has been a most capable manager of the basketball team and has proved his worth to the boys. David was assisted by Eugene Frederick. Those who attend basketball games realize how important the job of yell leading is. Paul King was aided by Joan Mochamer this year. Both of these yell leaders have done a fine job of giving enthusiasm to the cheering section and team. in Mochamer Paul King FOOTBALL Top row: J. Hines, W. McCleary. V. Palumbo, J. Carper.

The Red Devils closed the season February 16, when they journeyed to Hartford City to defeat the Airedales, 39-24. Auburn did very well in the annual tournament, going through to the semi-finals. In the sectional at Garrett, our team defeated Ashley 57-36 in the final game. At the Fort Wayne regional we beat Syra- cuse 56-32 for a trip to Muncie.

SECOND TEAM The Imps, as the second team is known, came through in fair shape this year. Out of 18 games they broke even, winning 9 and losing 9. They started the season out right by winning the first three games. They defeated Ashley 24-16, Bluffton 26-21, and Butler 29-22. Their first defeat came at the hands of the Central Catholic seconds. The score was 29-17. After this the Imps bounced back and won the next two games in a row. They won over Angola 25-23 and then defeated the Metz varsity 33-21. The New Haven seconds proved too much for the Imps and defeated them 25-18. How- ever, the following night they again entered the winning column when they defeated the North Side seconds 27-22. Their third defeat of the season came at the hands of the Spencerville varsity. The score was 24-20. However, the Imps won their next two games, defeating Kendallville 17-16 and Waterloo 31-29. Then they suffered four losses in a row. They lost to Garrett 16-14, to Central of Fort Wayne 39-21, to Kendallville 36-21 and to Warsaw 35-23. This streak of bad luck was followed by a win over Decatur 36-20, and another loss to Columbia City 31-27. The Imps lost their last game of the season to the Hartford City seconds. The score was 27-23. Top row: N. Carr, H. Carmer, D. Smith, W. Wil- son, J. Carper, S. Yoder, R. Seigel. Bottom row: Max Glass, P. Butler, R. Simanton, R. Browand, R. Zehner. NOON LEAGUE AND INTERCLASS TEAMS Noon League in a school activity gives those boys not qualified for varsity basketball a chance to participate in that sport. Varsity players gained experience by officiating in these games, which were supervised by Zeke Young. Six captains were chosen and they drew their teams. The teams were named as follows: Black Widows, Homer Smith; Thunderbolts, David Miller; Superforts, Norman Cooper; Spit- fires, Bill Wilson; Marauders, Bob Haynes; Wildcats, DeLoss Herbolsheimer. The Spitfires, cap- tained by Bill Wilson, finished first. The junior powerhouse breezed through with an undefeated season to win the class championship. The following are the results of the competing teams: TEAM WON LOST TEAM WON LOST Juniors 11 Thunderbolts 7 3 Seniors 5 6 Marauders 7 4 Sophomores 5 6 Black Widows 4 6 Freshmen 1 10 Superforts 3 7 Spitfires 8 . 2 Wildcats 3 7 44 TRACK Top Row: C.

TRACK When the call for trackmen came, a veteran crop of thinlies turned out to try for places on the varsity squad. As several lettermen returned, Coach Young expected a successful season. The Red Devil thinlies proved themselves better than expected by going undefeated on the Earl Carr Field. They won the Northeastern Indiana Conference, set several new confer- ence records, and established a new school record. After the preliminary weeks of workouts and trials, Auburn journeyed to Fort Wayne on April 14 to participate in a triangular meet with South Side and Garrett. South Side won the meet with 78V2 points, Auburn too second place with 23 ' 2, and Garrett took third place with 13 points. The following week the Red Devils won a triangular meet with Butler and Garrett at the Earl Carr Field. Auburn amassed 60 points to Butler ' s 30 V2 and Garrett ' s 25 V2- On April 29 Zeke took 14 boys to Kokomo for the Kokomo Relays. The red clad thinlies took seventh place in this classic with 9 points to their credit. May 4 found the Red Devils journeying to Bluff ton for the Northeastern Indiana Confer- ence meet. They scored 70 points to win easily. They also shattered three conference records, one of which sets a new school record. The following week Auburn defeated Kendallville 83-32. The locals took first in every event but one in this meet. White winged A ' s and silver track shoes were given to the seniors and letters were awarded to the underclassmen who scored in a varsity track meet.

As he slides gracefully off the back of his horse and lands on the ground with a thud, we notice that he is car- rying his trusty, shining six shooter. As he has been carry- ing it for only a year or so, there are only eighteen notches in it. The sun is sinking in the west, a beautiful red ball on the horizon. Gawsh, ain ' t it purty! drools Tex. At last he arrives at his des- tination. It is now night. The silver moon is full and there are a few stars twinkling here and there — mostly there. (As usual, the wolves are doing overtime tonight.) It is quite cool and Tex, having lost his shirt in a crap game along the way, shivers in his red woolies. Draw closer, dear reader, and we will peek over Tex ' s shoulder through the crack in the dirt-stained window of the old ramshackle hotel. A glim- mer of lamp light is showing through, and as we look we see the slim but healthy figure of our hero, Dauntless Dick Houtzer, otherwise known as Sly Eye Dick. All unsuspect- ing of his danger, he counts his hoarded gold nuggets. Sly . Eye has accumulated an im- mense fortune from the people oi Bleached Skeleton Gulch since he is mayor, city and county counselor, and Hi-Y Sergeant-at-arms. Eight, nine, ten — oh shucks, now I ' ll have to take off my shoes, says Sly Eye. I guess I ' ll have to order me a pair of those purty toeless ones from the mail order catalog so it won ' t take me so long to count my life ' s savings. Near by, Dick ' s faithful In- dian squaw housekeeper, Three Feathers, fondly call- ed Moonshine by Dauntless Dick, is setting the table for the evening meal. Gawsh, says Tex, this is better than I had hoped for. Not Only will I get food and water, but this is a good way to get some extra dough. It ' ll be a cinch to take it from that poor delicate dumb sucker. The heartless fiend! How could he look upon such a scene with such cruel thoughts in mind? Well, I may as well go in, says the villain of our story. With this intelligent remark, he stalks to the door, kicks it open, and falls dramatically on his face. Howdy, stranger, wel- comes Dauntless. Always the perfect host, he thoughtfully kicks Tex over so that Tex might look in his lace rather than bury his face in the dirt floor. Yi! screams Tex, and with a lurch turns over and grovels his face in the terra firma. Moonshine, who up to this time has viewed this touching scene with no comment, now ramarks, Ugh, as she picks Tex up by the hair (what long shaggy wool!) and stands him on his size 12 ' s. Moonshine, set another place at the table. We have a most insistent guest dining with us tonight, says Sly Eye Houtzer. Well, gawsh, thanks two million, exclaims Tex, still trembling from his encounter with Moonshine. I ' ll eat my supper first, then get the gold, thinks Tex devilishly. (Oh, yes, he could think.) After supper Moonshine gathers up the dishes and piles them in the cluttered sink (the outside well) while Dauntless sits down to read the January 29, 1851, issue of the local newspaper, The Loose Upper Plate. Suddenly Tex ' s harsh grat- ing voice crashes the silence. O. K., hist ' em, youse two! Alas, it seems that there will soon be twenty notches instead of the eighteen on the gun. But wily Dick, wise to the weaknesses of men, stealthily tickles Tex in the ribs as he raises his hands. Immediately Tex drops his gun with a clat- ter and rolls on the floor. Oh! ho! ho! ho! hah! hah! hah! he! (monotonous, isn ' t it?) he giggles. Suddenly he stops, realizing his mistake, and looks first into the steely muzzle of his double- crossing six shooter, and then at the cold grim expression on Dick ' s pan. But where is Moonshine dur- UNCLE WILL ' S TEDIOUS TALES ing all this excitement? Hiding under the table? Nope. Doing this dishes? Definitely not. Grabbing up a blanket and running out into the clear, moonlit night, she has built a smouldering fire out of Dick ' s porch and is rapidly sending smoke signals to the nearest town 700 miles away. But let us return to the scene of action. Just as Dick sarcas- tically spits into Tex ' s eye, the sound of horse ' s hoofbeats is heard. A second later the door bursts open ,and — and — stand- ing in the doorway is the proud, handsome, dashing, young(?) figure of Sheriff Her- man Seigel of said neighbor- ing town 700 miles away. He has come to the rescue in re- sponse to Moonshine ' s frantic smoke signals. Sheriff Seigle, with that mas- terly touch that accompanies all his actions, quickly has the situation well in hand. (Heavy, isn ' t it?) Tex is taken to the county jail, where, as far as we know, he is still awaiting trial. Dauntless and Moon- shine, tired by this heroic epic, would accept no reward for their cool-headed, quick-think- ing aid toward catching Tex and just settled back down to their quiet, usual pattern of life in Bleached Skeleton Gulch, and there they ' ll prob- ably stay. (We hope!) They ' d better. Such critters, if they lived in Auburn, probably would be brought before the presence of A.H.S. faculty, a fate worse than death. THREE-RING BINK ' S BIGGEST YARN What ham is to eggs, what syrup is to pancakes and what an editor is to an annual — that ' s what Three Ring is to the show business. For forty years (man and boy) he ' s nev- er known anything else, but now he ' s an ace booking a- gent. Into Three Ring ' s office came drooping a big husky man (one of the few left). As he entered the door he spoke, ' Three Ring, I ' m open for an engagement. I ' m the creme de la creme of all magicians. I ' m the tops, pal. Here, take a card — any old card — I ' ll tear that card up in a thousand pieces, swallow the pieces, and then show you the same card re- stored again, folded up in your own watch case. Am I good! Waidaminute! yelled Three Ring, Waidaminute! So you really think you ' re a third alarm blaze, eh? Hot stuff? Listen, sonny boy — back about thirty years ago, I was traips- ing through the canebrakes with an anemic little carnival of my own. One day a weird looking coot stepped into my tent and allowed that he was a magician with an 18-karat disappearing act. The huge droop drooled as he said, ' My name ' s Mar-vee- ello, and here ' s my story! — I started out as a master bridge builder, but my first ninety- nine bridges were BUSTS (Plop!) Next I took up banking, but all my banks busted ' Not to be outdaunted, I then plung- ed headlong, you might say, into ship building; — that bust- ed. ' (He never did like bottoms anyway.) ' Later I majored in chemis- try. I soon discovered the for- mula for t ' .ie greatest explosive concentrate ever known to sci- ence, pfoof! The formula bust- ed. But — while studying chem- istry, I also discovered the most baffling liquid the world has ever known — and invisible and transparent paint! — Whoopee! So, having failed in everything else, I instantly decided to be- come a circus magician. ' That ' s why I ' m here, T.R., ' quoth Mar-vee-ello. ' And with this little old secret paint of mine, I ' ll be the greatest, top- pest magician of all times Even daylight saving time! ' To make sure of my find, I asked for a demonstration, said Three Ring. With this un- usual request in the back of his mind, Mar-vee-ello started to work painting himself with his vanishing cream. He had himself all painted except his head and hands. As he stood there numbly he asked me to witness this superastounding feat. He immediately picked his head up and placed it on the bookcase. This convinced me of his ability, but one question still lurked in the back of my emp- ty head. How could he snap out of it? Mar-vee-ello explained, ' That ' s simpler than snapping into it, churn! I have my own secret invisible paint remover that restores me instantly, per- manently! ' I handed him a two-week contract and explained my terms ' Oboyoboyoboy! You ' re stupendous! You ' re colossal! You ' re even good! Sign right here, doc — for free meals, board, and twelve a week. ' But Mar-vee-ello wanted ten! Mar-vee-ello was an imme- diate sensation throughout the country. He was superstupefy- ing. He continued being the greatest sensation of all times for years. Everyone remarked, ' He ' s just something phon-en- aminal. ' If you ask me — go a- head — ask me! Some even thought of the swell way of eluding bill col- lectors and above all — rela- tives. Even the world of science was startled out of its wits at his uncanny wizardry. One re- marked, ' To put it in jitterbug lingo, Emil, that rug-cutter is something out of this world! UNCLE WILL ' S TEDIOUS TALES Onother relied, ' Yeah, man — he ' s a cute zoot! ' Millions of statues were made of Mar-vee-ello and sold throughout the world- His name became a byword with social climbers of the day. Such as, ' I ' m bored, Baron, why don ' t you do a Mar-vee- ello and disappear. ' Finally he became so fam- ous that he got conceited. In fact he got so egotistical that he demanded a raise. He told me, ' Them ' s my ultimatums, Toots! I either get a flat fifteen a week, or I quit! ' He had me stumped. Though realizing that the hand that was feeding me was bit- ing me, too, out of the good- ness of my heart I gave it to him. I warned him, ' Now don ' t be a ' Patsy ' and spend it all in juke boxes! ' All the time the dumbfound- ed magician who had applied was absorbing all of this wacky! He finally got a word in edgeways, Wottaman! Wottaman! Your yarn intrigues me, Three Ring — and then what happened to your mysti- fying, mesmerizing hamout of magic? But podner, said Three Ring, from here on my tale takes a cantankerous twist — a few months later we were playing an one-night stand in Nome, Alaska. Mar-vee-ello, now the head- liner, went on to do his act. An eager audience of 496,781 odd souls (including the Eskimos) cheered madly! Some even muttered, ' Blub! Blub! Ablub! Blubber! ' Just by way of showing off, Mar-vee-ello painted a double dose of his disappearing paint all over himself from head to feet. ' I ' ll give these icicle bend- ers the best show of my career ' cause I like my chocolate frosted! ' But — and here ' s the tragedy of my tale — it was mighty cold up there and on account of that, the paint remover just wouldn ' t cooperate. The mystified magician gulped and breathed easily, And, and, and — And so, continued T.R., we never saw Mar-vee-ello again! It was impossible, im- practical, and unprobable for him ever to reappear after that! So ended the country ' s greatest magician. He ' s prob- ably still walking the streets of Nome, Alaska! But nobody knows the difference. After this yarn was all wound the stupefied magician muttered, Phew-w, that tops me, Three Ring, I ' ll spend the rest of my life raising Easter rabbits!
