Auburn High School - Follies Yearbook (Auburn, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1948 volume:

Auhvui, Ondiana Volume 29 Page 1 . . ■ Page 2 tfatewaid This year the Follies has a puppet theme. We have tried to compare the parts of the school system and the activities around the school building with the various elements necessary in a stage or marionette produc- tion. As you will see, we puppets are con- trolled by strings which in turn are regulat- ed by those above or behind us. Page 3 IN ME MR. I. M. COSPER All service ranks the same with God, — With God, whose puppets, best and worst, Are we: There is no last or first. — Browning Page 4 WOR 1AM MRS. DELLA McDONALD Though inland far we be, Our souls have sight of that immortal sea Which brought us hither. — Wordsworth Page 5 Page 6 FRONT AND SIDE VIEWS OF A. H. S. The Auburn High School building is not only a place for boys and girls of our town to study and make friends, but it is also a place of scenic beauty. The well-shaded lawns and the neatly trimmed shrubs add the touch of Na- ture to the environment of so many boys and girls.

PRESIDENT HUSSELMAN Mr. E. A. Husselman is now starting his third terra as a member of the Auburn School Board. His in- terest in young people makes him especially well suited for his post. Having a daughter in our school system at present, he carefully weighs and remedies the students ' problems. SECRETARY ARMSTRONG Mr. D. K. Armstrong is now in his second term as a member of the Auburn School Board. He is estab- lished in our community as a well-known merchant, but he is not too busy to serve very capably on our school board. TREASURER McINTYRE Mr. H. C. Mclntyre is serving his first term as a member of the Auburn School Board. He is quite capable for this position and his genuine interest in the welfare of the school system is backed by his life-long residence in our community. Page 10 7!4e Ptoduc ti, MR. H. L. McKENNEY, the Superintendent of the Auburn City Schools, has been in this position for twenty years. If you have wondered why he may not always be reached at the high school, it is be- cause his far-reaching duties often take him from his office. He also spends a great amount of time working in his office after hours. Although his par- ticular position does not afford him the opportunity to meet all of the boys and girls, he has made many friends among the students. MR. LLOYD W. MILLER, our principal for eleven years, is a very busy man around the halls of A. H. S. Not only does he spend his regular hours at the school, but very often the office lights indicate that he is working late again. He has the interests of all the students as his primary concern, and is reward- ed by the life-long friendships he makes with them. CARMA PATEE is the cheerful young girl who can be seen in Mr. McKenney ' s office. She is invalu- able for her competent office work and excellent personality for duties as a recept ionist. EMMA STEBING is Mr. Miller ' s office girl. Actual- ly she is a triple-threat woman: She is efficient; she is a help to students; and she is always ready with a smile or joke.

Page 31 7 4e StcM r ActuUU i As the curtain comes down on the fourth and last act of the Senior Class, the applause grows deafen- ing. Each act has had suspense (the fear of failing), drama, and a touch of humor. The critics, our teach- ers, have given a creditable report and each little marionette will receive an academy award in May. The puppets who portrayed the Class Officers were Fred Butler, president; Gene Glass, vice presi- dent; Don Smolinske, secretary; Alice Kieffer, treas- urer. They all strung along together to keep the sen- iors on the billboards. Those who played the part as lettermen were J Bower, W. Boyd, R. Brown, F. Butler, W. Cox, E Frederick, G. Glass, E. Grimm, J. Kleeman, R. Manon R. Martin, G. dinger, I. Rhoads, D. Rice, D. Rohm, B Scott, R. Seigel, D. Sink, D. Smolinske, J. Thomas With a team like this, it is sure they can put up a lot of plays. The Honor Roll was acted by J. Gams, A. Kieffer, B. Haggarty, and S. Weathers. These four girls took the feminine lead in the class. The directors were Mrs. Milks as class sponsor, and Mrs. Butler and Mrs. Gonser as class mothers. The cast of characters has been given, and there is little reason to doubt the great success of this class. Every senior knows that if he becomes a success, it shall have been due to the hard work of his teach- ers, personal initiative, and Mr. Miller ' s gentle push- ing. Every graduate will remember his apprenticeship in high school as he goes out in the world to play a different part in another play. Page 32 1U The Junior Class play has been very suc- cessful. As the curtain goes down, the audience has been thrilled with the talent of the actors, and the great production will be in the contract for another year. The Honor Roll played a large part. It was portrayed by J. Schooley, M. Bullock, J. Loch- ner, N. Baker, E. Carper, D. Hart, S. Hursh, N. Western. Those who took the parts of the athletic heroes were D. Derrow, W. Geiser, J. Lochner, C. Myers, W. Michael, J. Schooley, D. Butler, S. Feagler, T. Magnuson. As their leaders the puppets chose Jack Loch- ner, president; Bill Geiser, vice president; Jayne Burgoyne, secretary; Ted Magnuson, treasurer. Mr. Weathers directed the cast and Mrs. Schooley and Mrs. Baker were assistant direc- tors. With these people playing the important rolls in the Class of ' 49, there is no reason at all why the audience can ' t expect as great a fourth act as they have seen in the first three. Page 33 1U These wise sophomores are ready for the in- termission after which they shall become up- per classmen. Their first two acts have been given great acclaim by all. Filled to capacity with action and interest, the class has many accomplishments. The Honor Roll consists of R. Manon, J. Nu- gen, M. Frazee, D. Hay, R. Little, and N. Swartz. The class officers this year gave able super- vision. R. McComb was elected president; M. Frazee, vice president; J. Mochamer, secretary; and T. Miller, treasurer. The sponsor was Mr. Kellberg, and Mrs. F. Griffith and Mrs. C. Haynes were elected class mothers. The athletes of the class were B. Beers, R. Freeman, R. Lochner, D. Kelly, T. Miller, J. Mochamer, S. Muzzillo, T. Webb, R. Werten- berger, H. Western, J. Renner, J. Swalley, R. McComb, J. Smith, J. Hamilton, J. Hildebrandt. The class of ' 50 has given a memorable per- formance. Page 34 lite, A oaice l r lotluliled The green houselights dimmed as the freshmen became more accustomed to the ways of A.H.S. Although inexperienced actors they have had a very successful first night. Everyone is talking about their grand pre- miere, and they are looking forward to the next three acts. The Honor Roll was played by Eric Schaab, Mary Alice Schooley, Jerry Griffith, Nancy Krueger, and Diana Messenger. The athletes were portrayed by John Gams, Steve Butler, Bill Myers, David Richardson, Paul Hathaway, David Sprott, Jerry Griffith, Lyle Stemen, Richard Predmore, Bob Seigel, Jerry Blevins, Don Mavis, and Dale Mavis. The cast was under the direction of Eric Schaab, president; Steven Butler, vice presi- dent; John Gams, secretary; Bill Myers, treas- urer. Their sponsor was Mr. Deck, and the class mothers were Mrs. D. Brown and Mrs. H. M. Messenger. With this list of accomplishments already be- hind them, there are great parts in store for these freshmen. They have proved themselves worthy of being in the spotlight. Page 35 Page 36 School s. ■diji Page 37 SEPTEMBER MS XI Wi Tl Pf a SEPTEMBER 2— Nope, ' taint St. Patrick ' s Day! All that green you see is the freshmen. The first day of school — and it ' s great to be back. 5 — The squad ' s starting the season off with a bang. We won our first game at Columbia City, 39-2. 12 — The seniors elected their class officers tonight. The presidency was given by unanimous consent to F. (D. R.) Butler, making his fourth year as head of the class of 1948. The vice-president is Gene Glass; secretary, Don Smolinske; and treasurer, Alice Kieffer. On Auburn ' s home-front things were really clickin ' . Those red-hot Red Devils crossed the goal 5 times in the first quar- ter to end up with a 50-0 score against Concordia (Fort Wayne). 15 — Juniors elected their class officers this evening. To lead them through this year, they ' ve chosen Jack Lochner as presi- dent; Bill Geiser, vice-president; Jayne Burgoyne, secretary; and Ted Magnu- son, treasurer. 17 — Highlights of our Constitution were brought out in a Constitution Day pro- gram by members of the civics class. Talks were also given by two members of the student body representing Girl ' s State and Boy ' s State. The sophomore class elected its officers. ' Ghick McComb is president; Margee Frazee, vice president; Jack Mochamer, secretary; and Ted Miller, treasurer. 18 — Looks like the boys set the pace in the freshman class election. Eric Schaab is president; Steve Butler, vice-president; John Gams, secretary; and Bill Myers, treasurer. The Gitta Sereny group met to elect of- ficers. They chose Jo Garns, president; Fred Butler, vice-president; Sis Carper, secretary; and Betty Haggarty, treasur- er. 19 — The halls are quiet; the streets aren ' t. The fair is in town. This one-day vaca- tion is the climax to a hectic week. Scissors, scalpel, sponge — band-aid! Several players were hurt in the Decatur game, but they managed to bleed out a 53-0 victory on Decatur ' s own field. 24 — A yell leader tryout was held this morn- ing, and there was plenty of competition. Cheers to Carolyn, Don and Chong. 26 — Auburn ' s decisive victory over Bluffton (40-2) on our own field tied the Red Devils and the Railroaders for first place in N.E.I.C. We love those Railroad ties! OCTOBER 1 — We had our first speaker, Mr. Melville, the glass-blower. He gave a very inter- esting talk and demonstrations on the art of glass-blowing. His remains can be viewed in the trophy case — we mean the ship and tear-vial. 3— We paws to go in de-tail of the Hartford City Airdales de-feet in their own back yard. Our dogmatic team only stayed long enough at the goal post to run up a 40-0 score. Don ' t terrier hair out at this mangy bit of news! 8 — The Tri-Hi-Y held its initiation dance in the little gym to welcome new members. Games were played and refreshments were served. 11— Howe do you like this? Those Devils won again with a 37-0 score. They real- ly showed those Cadets Howe. (If you can ' t figure out whom we played, see your school-life editors). 15 — The annual staff was named. No doubt you ' re already suffering the results. 16 — A bell rings, you ' re out. Cold, isn ' t it? Yep, on the coldest day of the year they have group pictures taken. 18— We gave the New Haven Bulldogs a drummin ' on our own field. We manag- ed to cur-tail another 40-0 score. 22 — From the looks of the gym, the Sophs must have staked a class party last night. But the less said, the better. Huh, Sophs? We played at Warsaw and came home on the receiving end of the 39-0 score. This was quite a victory. 23-24 — We tried in rhyme to let you know That school is out for awhile. But getting this doggone thing to rhyme Is certainly cramping our style. (P.S.) We have a two day vacation for Teachers ' Convention). 27 — Trees! Treesland another tree for em- phasis! You guessed right. We had Mr. (Hap) Hazard, the artist. All jokes aside, he drew some beautiful pictures, and his program was thoroughly en- joyed. 31 — The results of this afternoon ' s pep ses- sion were skillfully displayed in a bril- liant show of tonsils as we cheered our undefeated team to its final and all-im- portant victory over Garrett. BUT— we wuz robbed! They scored a touchdown against us— the first of the season. No kidding — we wuz robbed. A thief took about $250 out of the school safe some- time during the evening. NOVEMBTR 5 — Rattle dem bones — 7 come 11. Seven of our gridironers — those manglers — won honors on the mythical all-state eleven, three on the first team, three on the B team, and one honorable mention. We have no kick coming! 8 — Strictly Feminine: The G.A.A. girls dis- played their athletic ability at Colum- bia City where a volley ball tournament was held. They came home with straight victories. Congrats to you, girls ' 12-14— HENRY! HENRY ALDRICH! This call echoing through the halls of A.H.S. cm- Page 39 EMBER 7 6 9 I ' O 17 f £4 £5 ■%% .51 14 1-5 £8 £.9 F6BRUARY 69 O Ho 7-9 4 j5t 7 nounced the opening performance of the Junior-Senior play. What a Life. Hil- lariously given and gloriously received for three whole performances, this play topped all that has been given for sev- eral years in A.H.S. 21 — Get out the spades for the Ashley Aces. We really trumped their ace when we came through with a 47-22 score in the first deal of the season. It was a clever trick, boys ' 24 — Tables were turned at the Hi-Y initiation dance, and a lot of the food was ruined. But in spite of the bad luck, it was a suc- cessful dance. 26 — The Butler Windmills breezed into town, but soon had their sails deflated by those devlish Reds. We really had them going round and round, and they wound up on the short end of a 46-32 score. We got our wind at the pep ses- sion held in the afternoon. 26 — Auburn was host to Concordia of Fort Wayne in what turned out to be one of the best games of the season. Although we lost 48-44, it was neck- ' n-neck until Concordia surged forward in the final minutes to a four-point lead. DECEMBER 3 — Anybody interested in taxidermy? Just look at those stuffed seniors. They held a potluck in the gym last night, and everybody had a wonderFUL time. Even the dishwashers had fun! 5 — A.H.S. gave a warm reception to Mr. Nutchuk, the Eskimo Pie-ano player. His talk on Eskimo life and beliefs was very interesting and his playing was excel- lent. The South Side Archers had Auburn all aquiver on the Archers ' own stamping ground. With a nip-and-tuck game at the start, the Archers outshot us in the finals (and did it hurt) to score 50-36. 11 — The freshman bunnies had a hop last night. Have a carrot. Lettuce quit, w.e ' ve said enough! 12 — The New Haven Bulldogs flea-ced us on our own floor. We had to scratch for our 40 score, but they really had to dig for their 42 total. Did you bite on this one? 13 — The North Side Redskins scalped us on their reservation to the chant of 59-37. 19 — Run to the roundhouse, Devils. They can ' t corner you there! We were the caboose on the 46-27 score at Garrett. 20 — To the tune of Civilization the Devils and the Tigers (Fort Wayne) had a good fight. The 63-55 score gave the fans many chills. We often wondered who would come out — the Devils or the Tigers! 23 — Girls, get your mistletoe-hold! This is the season, you know. The speech class, band, and Ole St. Nick himself portray- ed the spirit of Christmas in a clever program. The team was right on the ball and presented us with a 60-44 win over the Wabash Apaches. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! JANUARY 1 — The Hartford City Airdales thought we were currying the ball a little too ' fur when we made them the underdog in the afternoon session of the Hartford City tourney. However, the evening ses- sion proved to be fatal, as we bowed down to Alexandria 51-33. 9— The Angola Hornets gave us a good stinging that welted up to a 40-43 score. We thought we had driven thosjs Hor- nets back to their nest, but they-- pt mad in the final minutes and beat u%: 10 — We really burned he floor w-hen we made it hot for the Elkhart Blue Blazers in an overtime game. They just singed us with their 48-47 score. And the moral to this is — don ' t play with fire. 16 — The Kendallville Comets rather fizzled out, and the Auburn stars took over in a 42-34 win. Heavenly, isn ' t it? We didn ' t complain? 19 — This is the beginning of the end! This is the beginning of the new semester which will end up the school year. Our books? Well, we ' d better get atom. 20 — The band gave a concert for the March of Dimes benefit. It was gratefully re- ceived — the money, that is. 23 — We had a victory and a loss all in the same game. We won from the Warsaw Tigers 48-39, but we lost one of our chief players, Bill Cox. 27— The juniors had a jamboree. Things were really poppin ' . We heard there was corn galore. 30 — The buzzer sounded, v e were stung again. Our red-coats and the Decatur Yellow Jackets clashed in a rough game. We were hooked on that 46-43 score. 31— Mishawak-ed off with a 43-32 score on their own floor. The less said, the better. FEBRUARY 1 — The girl ' s chorus gave a concert of De- Bussy ' s Blessed Damozel. The Home Economics Club gave a tea afterwards. 2 — Students were pleasantly entertained by Norman Coats Webster, the lecturer and poet. He talked on poetry and its place in modern literature. 10 — The Hi-Y held a potluck in the little gym. Everyone was feeling Hi-Y-and- hand- some! 12— Highlights of Abraham Lincoln ' s life v ere aptly portrayed by the speech class in a program given in the little gym. Due to circumstances beyond our control, Mr. Lincoln was unable to at- tend. 17 — A P.-T. A. Founders Day meeting was held in the little gym. Entertainment was furnished by the band and the Knights of Harmony. Page 41 h l p O APR TVvTPS 4- ,§ ©(§) 24 — Miss Sue Hamilton was guest speaker of the Tri-Hi-Y. She gave a very informa- tive talk on junior colleges. 25— ' Twas a happy but sad day. School was out and so is the team — out of the tour- ney. The Red Raiders had one drop in the bucket too many, and the time ran out before we could upset their 45-43 lead. 30— Garrett has the tourney— Auburn has the blues! ! MARCH 1 The Future Farmers held their Antics in the little gym. They managed to plow through the evening with a good time. 3 — The time is drawing near. The seniors chose their Bacculaureate speaker in a senior class meeting held this morning. 15 — The girls chorus held a concert for rais- ing funds. It was a batter concert than any before, and they took in quite a lit- tle dough. Everyone enjoyed their ver- sions of Irish melodies. 17_Faith ' n Begorry! The Tri-Hi-Y is turning green! All the Patties and Mikes upheld the spirit of St. Patrick ' s Day at a party held in the little gym. 24 — The chorus and band gave an entertain- ing Easter program in the little gym. 26-29— All the bad eggs were turned out for a two-day Easter vacation. That ' s a yoke, son! 30 — We was highly entertained by Dr. Frederick A. Young, who give use a nar- ration on what we need worstest. He speaked on English as She Is Spoke. He did real good. APRIL 2 — In the spring a young man ' s fancy — and so are the girls — as all the freshmen gathered in the little gym for their last party of the year. It was quite a fancy affair! 5 — Auburn was host to the well-known Ho- bart Band which presented its program in the alumni gym. It was a big success. 11 — Auburn participated in the county musi- cale of school bands and choruses of DeKalb County. It was quite an affair. 16— The Sophs held their last party of this year in the little gym. Everyone had a grand time. At this time last year Auburn sped around Kendallville in their first track meet of the season to win 70% to 44 ' 3- 19 — Again at this time last year we were in the B division of the Goshen Relays. We took sixth place with 27 6 7 points. 22 — Instead of giving Decatur the once over, we gave its team the twice over to win in a track meet with a score of 83 to 32. 22-23 — Any old clothes you want to dispose of? The Gitta Sereny group will take them off your hands in the two-day bundle drive for European relief. 24 — Auburn played a double header win- ning from Butler in a track meet 72 to 43. We also won our golf meet with Kendallville. 27 — The Home Economics Club held its for- mal banquet this evening. It was quite a colorful occasion. Everyone was in the pink. 28 — The Railroaders couldn ' t see m to stay on the track. We got up enough steam to beat them 651 2 to 49 y 2 . 30 — The music students of Auburn were in there pitching in the annual spring con- cert held in the alumni gym. They hit a welcome note with the music lovers of Auburn. MAY 3 — You relays, of course, that we only plac- ed seventh in the Kokomo relays. With only 9 ' 2 points we didn ' t make tracks, we just left traces. This same day a year ago, six teams competed in a big golf meet at Misha- waka. They must have had too many irons in the fire, for we lost. That didn ' t quite suit our tee-zone. 7 — The juniors proved capable hosts to enthusiastic seniors in the all-important event of the year — the Junior-Senior Banquet at Potawatomi. Everyone real- ly had a wonderful time. 8 — Auburn took second place in the N.E.I.C. track conference meet at Columbia City. Warsaw was first and Garrett third. 10 — In the conference golf meet it was a case of two strokes and we were out — out of the first place, that is. We did the next best thing and took second. Kendallville was first with 416 strokes and Auburn second with 418, putt you know how it is. 12 — In the track meet against Columbia City we won 76 2 3 to 38 1 3. 13 — Don ' t ball about it, but Elmhurst and Elkhart won in a golf meet with Auburn. 15 — The last track meet was a sectional held at Fort Wayne. One will go to State. 1 6 — Solemn seniors were honored at Baccu- laurate services held in the Alumni Gymnasim. This was a very memorable occasion, and it marks the beginning of the end of the old and the beginning of a new chapter in the seniors ' lives. 19 — Sheepskins were passed out to the little lambs of the senior class at the com- mencement exercises held in the Alumni Gymnasium. Dr. Merril B. McFall gave the timely address. Best of luck to you, 21 — School ' s out!

As anyone can plainly see, it ' s not a fancy book, But we hope you won ' t forget to think of all the work it took. From summer into early fall we searched for something new. And when all seemed to routine doomed, Mr. Montague came through. He said, We ' ll tack some snaps on here, and try to change the book. Then when the glue had finally dried — behold the new look. Shutters snapped and scissors snipped and pens be- gan to fly. The scene was set; the players cast a dubious but willing eye Upon that monster on the wall who set our time at seven Short months to draft and bind the book when we could have used eleven. Now it may seem a simple task to paste a picture here And over there another one — just so they ' re not too queer. As to copy, that ' s a snap. Why anyone can tell About events at A.H.S. But can they tell it well? As far as working power this year the staff was really grand, And for the splendid work they ' ve done they all de- serve a hand. Our thanks to Davis Studio which was haunted by the way The editor kept asking them, Have any snaps today? With engraving done and copy in, the plot began to thicken While over at Auburn Printing Company the presses began to quicken Their rate of printing to cut the time and get the an- nual out. When the final page was done, the men were about worn out. To Heckman Bindery then were sped the sheets with type so bold, And after all was bound in place they were sheathed in white and gold. Then back to dear old A.H.S. to our salesmen so true Who checked and checked and double-checked and gave them out to you. Of course it ' s Mr. Miller who ' s the man who works the strings. He knows exactly what to do on ' bout most everything. And Mr. McKenney must triple-check in case that we just might Have slipped a little something in that wasn ' t exactly right. Now let us not forget the one who led us through (with caution) The multitude of comma marks — why, you know Mr. Dawson. To all who made it possible to have our yearly pranks, From the highest to the lowest we now give humble thanks. We hope you will enjoy this book and somehow it will measure Up to the standards set by you for things in your mem ' ry ' s treasure. Dust off the cover ten years hence no matter where you are And take a glance at school days past. So near and yet so far. Perhaps a silly saying here, and there a forgotten phrase Will bring to you fond memories of carefree school days. And so I leave you with this thought no other words can tell: Thanks, folks, for all your help.

Jli-lj The purpose of the Hi-Y is to promote clean sportsmanship, clean speech, clean athletics, and clean scholarship. The triangle of the Hi-Y pin represents mental, physical, and spiritual growth. The club strives to de- velop the best there is in its members. The club is sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. and is under the supervision of Mr. Weiler and Mr. Gene Holdeman, the local Y sec- retary. The officers for the first semester were Jack Thomas, president; Fred Butler, vice-presi- den; Richard Seigel, secretary; James Schooley, treasurer; and Joe Kleeman, ser- geant-at-arms. Officers for the second se- mester were Bob Manon, president; Jack Lochner, vice-president; Don Butler, secre- tary; Richard Smith, treasurer, and Theo Webb and Bill Geiser, sergecmts-at-arms. The boys of the Hi-Y meet every second and fourth Wednesday of the month at the Y . Short business meetings are held fol- lowed by discussions. During the year they have had several movies and were enter- tained by guest speakers. The club engaged in several activities which included an initiation dance and a number of potlucks. As a project they con- tributed to the World Youth Fund. One big event was the State Hi-Y Conference at In- dianapolis to which Bob Kokenge, Dick Mar- tin, Jack Mochamer, and Glen DeLucenay went as representatives. Page 48 m-cMi-lf The motto of the Tri-Hi-Y Club is To create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high stand- ards of Christian character. The club sponsors are Miss Wood, the high school adviser, and Mrs. Gene Holde- man, the adviser from the local Y.M.C.A They supervise the meetings which are held every first and third Wednesday of each month at the Y. These meetings largely consist of discussions after the regular busi- ness meetings. Miss Sue Hamilton, a former member of Tri-Hi-Y, was a guest speaker at one of these meetings. The Teen-Y organiza- tion was invited to attend. The officers elected for the year were loan Gams, president; Joan Palmer, vice-presi- dent; Barbara Dickenson, secertary; Barbara Lewis, treasurer; and Barbara Foster, ser- geant-at-arms. The old members sponsored an initiation dance for the new members. Another dance was held at which guests were invited by each member. The girls also helped the Hi-Y with the contribution to the World Youth Fund. As a separate project they donated Christmas packages which were sent to the Allen County Orphanage.

The boys have been co-operating with the county agent in his pest killing crusade. The objec- tive of this crusade is the extermination of the rat and other pests in our community. They are being taught how to establish and supervise farm practices, which is the keep- ing of records. The organization has taken steps to establish a good breed of hogs in the community. To increase the guality of local crops the association plans to distrib- ute certified seed among its members. The F.F.A. meets the second and fourth Monday of every month. In these meetings they show educational pictures and have noted speak- ers. The purposes of the F.F.A. are: To pro- mote vocational education in agriculture in the public schools of Auburn; to create more interest in the intelligent choice of farming as an occupation; to encourage recreational and educational activities for students in vo- cational agriculture; to promote scholarship among students of vocational agriculture; and to develop rural leadership.

The band has done exceptionally good work this year. It owes much of its success to the fine leadership of our new instructor, Mr. Kellberg. He has completely taken over the band; ask the members who practice at night before concerts and also comes every Tuesday and Thursday at 8 a. m. The band livened things up at the basket- ball games and pep sessions, and who will forget the fair! The Christmas program was brightened by the appearance of the band in their red and black uniforms. Different members of the band entered contests as soloists or as an ensemble. They also played for the different civic clubs of Auburn. Mr. Kellberg has started seasonal concerts that always draw large crowds. April will be remembered as the time when all of the bands in the county, seven in all, gave a concert as one band. The band had numerous drives to raise money for buying new instruments to be used by the school. Everyone in and around Auburn is talk- ing about, the Auburn High School Band Good Luck, Mr. Kellberg, keep up the good work! First row: J. Burgoyne, P. Friend, M. Schooley, M. Browand, C.

The girls were kept very busy. Among other things, the girls gave a tea. Their bright voices were heard at the Christmas program, the Junior-Senior play, and for P.-T. A. Several girls formed a sextet and others sang solos. They entered the solo and ensemble contest at Fort Wayne, and, like the band, came back with many honors. They sang with the rest of the choruses of the county at the April festival, and also at some of the concerts given with the band. The different civic groups in Auburn were also entertained by the chorus. The chorus was ably directed again this year by Miss Guyneth Hewitt and accom- panied by Pat Arnold, Kathleen Gerig, Mar- garet Peckhart, and Mary Alice Schooley. First row: B. Frazee, M. McClure, M.

QtefGSiAyatuui The Gitta Sereny Club was organized during the school year 1946-1947 by Miss Gitta Sereny, an Austrian-Hungarian act- ress, who has turned her talents toward fur- thering international peace through corres- pondence and understanding between Aus- tria and America. Formerly with UNRRA she was indeed qualified to see the actual ne- cessity of such an organization. Officers of the club are Joan Garns, presi- dent; Fred Butler, vice-president; Elizabeth Carper, secretary; and Betty Haggarty, treasurer. They are the student leaders of those who will be building the world of to- morrow. May they be able to realize the aim of their club in actual form of world events of tomorrow. In May the club sponsored a clothing drive for Austria and other countries in Eu- rope. The drive proved very successful, bringing in much more than was expected. Correspondence is now being carried on between students of Realschool in Castilli- gasse, Vienna, Austria, and students of Au- burn High School. Several Care packages have been sent from the students of the club in America to the students and families of the children in Vienna. Because of the great amount of correspondence in progress the club is now called the International Corres- pondence Organization. Page 54 n , iii Seated: E. Frederick, P. White, J. Husselman, S.

What What a Life, the junior-senior play, was presented November I2.th, I3th, and I4th. A large crowd was present at every perform- ance. Mr. Dawson, the director, helped make it the great success it was. The entire play took place in the princi- pal ' s office of Central High School. Who was the first student sent there? Henry Aldrich, naturally! While in the office trying to straighten out his many troubles, Henry met a classmate — a girl classmate. This brought Henry more troubles than ever. Although accused of drawing pictures of his teachers, cheating on a history exam, and trying to get money for tickets to take his new acquaintance to the spring dance, Henry ' s trouble finally vanished and all end- ed as well as could be expected for Henry. We might add that he was very fortunate to come out of it as well as he did. Miss Shea, Secretary of Mr. Bradley Barbara Dickenson Mr. Nelson, asst. principal ..

Article II of the G.A.A. constitution states that the aims of the Association shall be to promote interest in girls ' physical educa- tion. Enrolled are 71 girls who indeed con- stitute a large group for the size of the school. In the spring of 1947 Auburn sent dele- gates to the first State G.A.A. Camp at Mc- Cormick Creek State Park. The seniors were represented by Marge Buckholtz; juniors by Betty Wells and Betsy Smith; sophomores by Shirley Koons; and freshmen by Susan Sanders. This fall we sent two volley-ball teams to the Columbia City tournament. The girls came home victorious over Kendallville, Co- lumbia City, Warsaw, Decatur, and Hunting- ton. At the spring banquet awards for sports- manship, outstanding athlete, outstanding freshman, and president were given. The officers for 1947 and 1948 were Alice Kieffer, president; Joan Garns, vice presi- dent; Jayne Burgoyne, secretary; and Betty Haggarty, treasurer. The sponsor was Mrs. Milks.

This is their guide and goal in all their meetings and activities. The regular meetings are held the second and fourth Wednesday of every month. The sponsor of the club is Mrs. Gene Holdeman. The club mothers are Mrs. James Little and Mrs. Kenneth Gonser. Officers elected to lead the group were Retha Manon, president, Mary Bauer, vice- ■ president; Joyce Nugen, secretary; Betty Val- lieu, treasurer: and Jane Griffith, sergeant- at-arms. The activities of the year were started roll- ing by a dance held for the new members. This was the initiation dance and ended with a picnic at Eckhart Park. Each member invited a guest to accompany her. The Teen-Y in joint action with the Tri-Hi- Y organization made contributions for the Allen County Orphanage at Christmas time. Besides donating these Christmas gifts, its members attended a joint meeting with the Tri-Hi-Y to hear an address by Miss Sue Hamilton. These dual meetings are a sign of the spirit of co-operation taught in these Y clubs. Page 58 9 ite.nicltalaitic Qto+ifi Auburn High School is proud of its prize winners.

Page 60 7lte Jlilxiciiicvn ' i The library of Auburn High School is an- other spot in A.H.S. of which both the stu- dents and faculty are proud. This library is indeed adequate and exceptionally well stocked for the size of the school. Under the supervision of Miss Carol Daw- son the librarians have proved themselves capable and efficient. They have aided many a puzzled and helpless student with their knack for burrowing into the shelves and emerging with just the right material to solve that perplexing question that seems to appear in all the assignments: Where do I find the material in a reference book? The responsibility of a librarian is great. Each must know quickly where to find the material needed, sign out and check in books, as well as keep a vigilant eye open for students who sign out current magazines. The neat order of the book shelves and the magazine rack is due to much time and ef- fort spent by Miss Dawson and her student helpers. Yes, the librarians truly deserve a sincere expression of gratitude for their aid to the faculty in securing reference material for class discussion and their aid to confused students. First row: M.

It is the purpose of the organization to pep up the enthusiasm and school sprit. This is ac- complished by holding pep sessions before import- ant games. This year Jack Thomas was chosen as president and Dick Seigel as secretary. Mr. Miller, our princi- pal, officially manages the organization and Miss Wood is our faculty treasurer. Our yell leaders were Don Rice, Dale Billings, and Carolyn Mitchell. Don and Dale were seniors and Carolyn, although only a freshman, did a fine job, and we feel sure she will continue to do as well in any successive years she might have. The managers were Irvin Rhoads, football; Jack Thomas, basketball; and Norman Rohm, last year in track; and Bob Manon served as statistician for basketball. Page 65 QootUU 1947 On August 15, sixty-five boys answered Coach Zeke Young ' s call to the gridiron. With nineteen returning lettermen determin- ed to uphold their last year ' s undefeated season record, they began their workout. Under the guidance of Zeke and Assist- ant Coach Jake Weiler they developed in- to one of the best teams of the state. Coming up soon we hope to have another good team. This particular one is being coached by Coach Showalter. It is made up of the freshmen and other underclass boys who hope to make varsity too some day. Our policy at A.H.S. is that every boy who comes out for football will have a place and get to play a few times at least. This keeps up school spirit and gives the boys something to look forward to besides hard practices. The fine record of the varsity football team this year was reflected not only in their un- defeated season but also in the fact that sev- en were named on the all-conference team. Those named were F. Butler, W. Cox, G. Glass, E. Grimm, J. Lochner, B. Scott, and D. Smolinske. Those placed on all-state teams were F. Butler, W. Cox, J. Lochner, and B. Scott. First row: T. Magnuson, S. Feagler, I.

They proved that even against the best competition they could hold their own. Although they finished the season with a twelve lost and nine won rec- ord, it does not indicate the type of ball they displayed. Although hampered by many in- juries, the Red Devils were a credit to the school. On Novmber 21 they downed the Ashley Aces 47-22. On November 26 the Butler Windmills were beaten by a score of 46-32. The Concordia Cadets were a little too much for the Red Devils on November 28 and we were beaten 44-48. December 5 the team went to South Side but was beaten 36-50. December 1 ' 2 the New Haven Bulldogs came to town and were too much as the Red Devils were beaten again, 40-42. The following night they journeyed to North Side but were beaten 37-59. The Garrett Railroaders gain- ed revenge for their defeat in football by downing us 27-46 on December 19. The fol- lowing evening the Central Tigers proved too strong and we were beaten 55-63. On December 23 the Wabash Apaches were beaten by a score of 60-46. Another of our old rivals, the Angola Hornets, gained sweet revenge for the previous years by defeating us 34-40 on January 9. On January 10 the Elkhart Blue Blazers were hard pressed to beat us in an overtime game 47-48. The Ken- dallville Comets suffered their first N.E.I.C. defeat on January 16 when they were beaten by our Red Devils 42-34. We continued our winning spree on January 23 by beating the Page 72 Warsaw Tigers 48-39. The Decatur Yellow- Jackets with the advantage of their own floor downed us 43-46 on January 30. The Mishawaka Cavemen after a hard battle sent us home on the small end of a 32-43 score on the last day of January. The Colum- bia City Eagles were our next victims as we won our last out-of-town game 59-55 on Feb- ruary 6. The Hartford City Airdales were unsuccessful in the game here on Feb. 13 to the tune of 52-34. On February 20 we finished the season by defeating the Bluffton Tigers 53-31. The Holiday tourney was played at Hart- ford Cily this year with Auburn finishing second behind Alexandria. The Hartfcra City Airdales were downed in the first game 31-28. In the evening game the Alexandria boys proved a little too much and the Red Devils were beaten 33-51. Letter awards were presented to James Schooley and Donald Derrow. Senior a- wards were presented to John Bower, Fred Buller, William Cox, Ed Grimm, Bobby Scott, and Don Smolinske. The manager ' s letter was awarded to Jack Thomas, and the statis- tician this year was Robert Manon. In the sectional the Red Devils dropped a hard game to the Spencerville Red Raiders 43-45.

Al- though this was their first year of playing on the reserves, they left no doubt in the minds of the fans that they were of the best ma- terial. They had a record of 1 3 wins and 4 losses.

Fans will remember the Kendallville game when Whitey Kelly came charging onto the floor ready for battle — only to fall flat on his face. Socks McComb says that it ' s not the best thing to pick up any socks lying around and put them on, as his ab- sence at the Decatur game proved. Socks said he just couldn ' t imagine how school socks found their way on his feet. Amazing isn ' t it? Steve Butler, Dale Mavis, Earl Patrick, Irvin Rhoads, Dale Marshall, Bob Kokenge and Joe Kleeman. A oa t jHecufue Once again this year our winter noon hours were filled with basketball. Under the supervision of Coach Zeke Young, ten teams participated in noon league activities. Those chosen as captains were Joe Kleeman, Gene Glass, Dale Sink, Don Rice, Wayne Boyd, Richard Seigel, Jack Lochner, Clayton Myers, George dinger, and Robert Manon. Joe Kleeman piloted a very scrappy team to the championship with thir- teen wins and three defeats. The records of the various teams are as follows: Captains Won Lost J. Kleeman ... 13 3 G.

The boys have a lot of fun with Zeke and so do most of the other students in A.H.S. Page 77 lach 1947 Of five track and field engagements, the Auburn Players made first nighter suc- cess The stars of the Auburn-Kendallville production netted 70 2 3 points to 44 1 3 points. On April 19 there was another per- formance in the class B division of the Gosh- en relays. We took sixth place and 27 6 7 awards. The third run on April 22 starred Wertman in the 100 and 220 dashes and the pole vault. Auburn made Decatur a mere audience with a score of 83 to 32. The Butler Windmills had a short run on April 26. Their profit was only 43 to 72. The promising new actor, J. Schooley, billed first on the high hurdles. The marguee lights were bright on April 28 when Auburn ' s proceeds were 65 1 2 points over Garrett ' s 49 1 I. Director Young took a cast on tour several times during the season. One stop over was at Kokomo on May 3. Our make-up proved egual to Arabia ' s. The box office re- turns were seventh place and 9 1 2 points. May 8 was the big day. N.E.I.C. was show- ing in Columbia City. Warsaw took the lead and won the trophy with 65 1 2 points. The runner ups were: Auburn 44 1 3; Garrett 43, Columbia City 38 5 6; Kendallville 20; Decatur 7; Bluffton 6. In one act Bower re- ceived a blue ribbon for broad jumping. Wertman received the award in the pole vault, and Michael was the best supporting actor. Michael took first honors in the high jump, however. On May 12 Wertman and Michael starred in ' Flying High and they broke the field record with 1 1 ft. 9 in. in pole vaulting. Co- lumbia City was ushered out with 38 1 3 points under our 76 2 3 points. The final review was the Sectional at Fort Wayne on May 15. Wertman pole vault- ed 11 ft. 6 in. and was called back for a cur- tain call at .the state. Michael and Bright of Central of Fort Wayne acted egually well in pole vaulting and they received second place. Bright ' s luck won him the toss and the trip to state. Spectators Was This Posed?
