In the following pages we have tried to recapture a little of that exciting and glit- tering decade which is so well known to young and old alike. The progress of the world today in comparison to those years will becorrfe more evident as you progress through our book. Page 3 FRONT OF SCHOOL Page 4 4 ■ : tit. LIBRARY FOUNTAIN Page 5 AIR VIEW OF A. H. S. Page 6 Administration and Classes Page 7 PRESIDENT HUSSELMAN Mr. E. A. Husselman is now embarking on his fourth term as a member of the Auburn School Board. His record in the three preceding years re- veals him as competent and capable in his posi- iion. Perhaps the fact that his daughter is a teen- ager like ourselves and susceptible to the same troubles, helps explain his understanding and tact in dealing with students and their various prob- lems. SECRETARY WEINERT Mr. W. G. Weinert is now serving his first term as a member of the Auburn School Board. He is a leading businessman in our city, and comes in con- tact daily with young people. Havmg a son, as well as a daughter, in our school system should naturally make him more prone to evaluate and weigh our problems. These assets should make him a valuable and competent member of the Board. TREASURER McINTYRE Mr. H. C. Mclntyre is now serving his second term as treasurer of the Auburn School Board. The expert handling of his post last year ably entitles him to another year of service. His sincere inter- est in the school system and its functioning may well be due to his long association with many of the citizens and students of our community. Page SUPERINTENDENT McKENNEY Mr. H, L. McKenney, who has for many years been the superintendent of the Auburn City Schools, is a very busy man. His position requires the management not only of A.H.S. but of every other school in our community. His labors extend beyond ordinary office hours, and his many duties do not permit enough leisure time for him to be come well acquainted with many of the students However, his friendly smile and nod have won him a place in the hearts of many of the students of A. H. S. as well as those in the grade schools of this city. PRINCIPAL MILLER Mr. Lloyd W. Miller, that man with the ever ready smile and helping hands, has been principal of A. H. S. for twelve years. His many and varied ex- periences with students have given him a clear understanding of high school students and their numerous problems. He is the man whose work is never done, as his work deals not only with the problems of the student, but also with the many other intricacies and details which exist in the man- aging of a high school. However, the great admira- tion of the student body, and numerous friends he wins are well worth the effort and labor he puts forth. EMMA STEBING, is the second mem- ber of the office staff. Mr. Miller, with- out her capable hands, would probably be at a loss. Her ready smile, her pleas- ing personality, and her admirable char- acteristics have also made her well liked by all those who know and associate with her. CARMA PATEE, whose efficiency and willingness to help has saved many a blundering student from tears and de- spair, is Mr. McKenney ' s competent re- ceptionist. Her congenial personality has won her many friends in the student body and among the members of the faculty. Page 9 MR FRANK WEATHERS, A.B.

Not a day passed without one or the other being con- fronted with some problem relative to the annual. Mr. Montague of the Fort Wayne Engraving Company has time after time torn our book apart, but he has always put it together again in much better form. Our appreciation extends to the Auburn Printing Campany who printed the annual and the S. K. Smith Company who provided us with the excellent covers. We wish to express our thanks to Mr. Davis of the Davis Studio for his cooperation in making the photographs for our yearbook.

Hi-Y The Hi-Y completed a very progressive year by reorganizing their club constitution and their general club set-up. They also played a great part in organizing the Dev- il ' s Journal. The Hi-Y is composed of sixty-two Au- burn High School boys who meet twice a month to discuss everyday problems of youth. These meetings consisted of guest speakers, educational movies, and discus- sion groups. Those chosen to lead the group for the year were James Schooley, president; Ted Magnuson, vice-president; Bud McComb, secretary; and Theo Webb, chaplain. Mr. Dawson was chosen again as the club sponsor. Mr. Gene Holdeman was the Y adviser. The club sent a large group to the state conference this year. They were B. Weinert, G. DeLucenay, B. Kokenge, J.

The Future Farmers Of America The Auburn chapter of Future Farmers of Amer- ica organization has increased its membership from 16 to 23. All the members of the agricultural class except one joined the F.F.A. The new officers installed were: President, Clayton Myers; vice- president, Harold Wirts; secretary, Larry Refner; treasurer, Dick Lochner; reporter Gerald Goings; adviser, Mr. Deck. The chapter ' s main purpose is to develop and promote a wholesome community life as well as good agricultural practices. Besides, we hope to develop leaders for the community. The meetings of the Auburn chapter are carried on in a formal way. The meetings which are held on the first Monday of every month are well planned far ahead of time. Educational films are shown, and either a member or some county offi- cial gives a talk on some educational topic. The schedule of meetings for the school year of 1948- 49 is as follows: Oct. 2 — Putting the club into operation. Dec. 6 — Educational film and talk by member. Jan. 7 — County Agricultural Agent. Feb. 7 — Talk by member. Mar. 7 — State Forester. Apr. 7 — Talk by member. May 4 — Soil Conservationist. Electing officers. The Auburn chapter has carried out many proj- ects including a pest contest, the sale of jello, col- lection of scrap metal and special safety program. In the state scrap metal drive, the Auburn chap- ter placed fourth among all state chapters. For its accomplishment, the chapter received $25. The jello project proved to be the main source of income. The demand for jello is great, and the boys have sold nearly 2,000 boxes thus netting a nice profit. The members are putting in many ex- tra hours on this project, but these extra hours are really paying off. The Safety Program is an addition to the regu- lar activities of the Auburn chapter and the boys hope to make it a permanent one. They are thus members of a larger state project. First Row: R.

The Auburn High School Band. Considerable credit is due the band this year for the fine showing they have made. Surely they will never forget October 30, 1948, the day the band went to Columbia City for the marching contest, unaware of the exciting events ahead of them. Auburn was awarded first in their class. This was the result of a lot of hard work by the band members and the excellent instruction and leadership of Mr. Kellberg. Much color was added to the football and basketball games this year by the playing and marching of the Auburn band. The band scored another first through the efforts of Mr. Kellberg when it presented Mr. Buketoff as guest conductor of the band on February 13. On February 19 they entered the solo contest in Fort Wayne, and receiv- ed a rating of 18 superior, 16 excellent and 1 1 good. Again in April Auburn played host lo the Northern Indiana State Band, Orches- tra, and Vocal contest. Members of the band, band parents, and civic groups of Auburn, recognize the abil- ity of Mr. Kellberg and generously helped in making the band a success. Here ' s hop- ing that Mr. Kellberg will be with us for many years. Vallicu, B. Leas, P. Friend, L. Tim- First Row: J. Zerns, S. Richardson, B. Poller, N. Krueger, S. Perkins, J. Griffith, C.

Chorus Keep on hopin ' for the sun to rise. When these strains drift through the halls of Auburn High School, it means that the chorus is rehearsing. The chorus under the excellent direction of Miss Daggy has an enrollment of 50 girls. At Christmas time the chorus, band, and speech class gave a combined program for the student body. The chorus will also go to Waterloo for the district orchestra, band and chorus contest. A sextette was formed last year and this group has participated in contests at Fort Wayne. An octette was formed this fall and they, along with the sextette, sang for the junior-senior play. It has been said that music, to be enjoyed by a person, must come from the heart, and these girls have proved this to be true. Th ' e girls and Miss Daggy look forward to the continued success of the chorus. Page 53 first Row: B. Beers, C. Hampshire, K. Mclnturf, R, Burgoyne, D. Boren, D. Warner, R. Predmore, P. Fribley.

Gitta Sereny Club The Gitta Sereny Club was organized in 1946 from the suggestion of Miss Gitta Ser- eny, an Austria-Hungarian actress who gave up her career to help her country. The club was originally called the Inter- national Correspondence Organization. The Auburn High School students carried on correspondence with Austrian boys and girls their own age. The club changed its name when the students decided to do much more than write letters. The club adopted two schools in Austria. From the contributions of the members, the club sent two CARE packages to each school. The club put on several drives which they opened to the whole school. These drives resulted in a large box of assorted soaps, two boxes of school supplies, and several large bags of clothing. These things will go a long way in help- ing their foreign friends and promoting world friendship. The officers for the year were Elizabeth Carper, president; Jayne Burgoyne, vice- president; Roger Wertenberger, secretary; and Theo Webb, treasurer. Mr. Miller, who sponsors the club, should be given much credit for the success of this very active organization.

Letters are awarded on the basis of points scored in track, and the number of games played in football and basketball. Special awards of silver track shoes and footballs and basketball letter blankets are given to seniors. The ' 48 track squad received awards at an assembly program on May 11, 1948. Let- ters were presented to R. Bates, B. Beers, J. Bower, W. Boyd, F. Butler, D. Derrow, A. Hauk, J. Lochner, R. Manon, T. Magnuson, W. Michael, K. Mclnturf, C. Myers, R. Seigel, J. Schooley, F. Scott, B. Scott, and P. Rode- cap, the latter, the student manager. The seniors on the track team, who received sil- ver track shoes, are J. Bower, W. Boyd, F. Butler, R. Manon, R. Seigel, F. Scott, B. Scott. On December 21, 1948, the football a- wards were presented to the members of the football team, which this year tied for the NEIC championship. R. Bates, B. Beers, D. Butler, S. Butler, D. Derrow, S, Feagler, C. Hampshire, P. Hathaway, J. Hildebrandt, J. Lochner, R. McComb, K. Mclnturf, T. Mag- nuson, W. Michael, T. Miller, C. Myers, M. Reynolds, J. Schooley, H. Wirts, W. Geiser, and W. Weinert, the student manager, were awarded letters and R. Bates, D. Butler, D. Derrow, S. Feagler, W. Geiser, J. Lochner, K. Mclnturf, T. Magnuson, W. Michael, C. Myers, and J. Schooley were presented with their silver footballs. The basketball awards came late this year due to the fact the boys were too busy winning their way to the finals of the state tournament to bother with them any sooner. But on April 26, 1949, the entire first ten— D. Derrow, K. Mclnturf, R. Bates, J. Schooley, R. Wertenberger, D. Kelly, T. Webb, T. Miller, R. McComb, and B. Beers — received varsity letters, and H. Western received his m.an- ager ' s letter. The senior letter blankets were awarded to D. Derrow, K. Mclnturf, R. Bates, and J. Schooley. Carolyn Mitchell and John Renner were presented well-earned yell letters. Jim Schooley was awarded the free throw medal, which is based on the per- centage of free throws made over 25. First Row: T.

The Girl ' s Athletic Association has been a very active organization which holds the in- terest of many high school girls. Some of the sports in which the girls par- ticipate are speedball, volleyball, basket- ball, badminton, swimming, archery, and bowling. As you can see, they are kept very busy. In the early fall of 1948, G.A.A. sent two girls along with Miss Van Deursen to the second State G.A.A. camp. This year ' s camp was held at Pokagon State Park. Here during the three days when the camp was open, the girls took part in many activities. During the volleyball season. Auburn, Concordia, Kendallville, and Columbia City took part in a volleyball tournament at Co- lumbia City. Auburn came home champs, for they sent 17 very capable girls. In the spring of 1949, the G.A.A. banquet was held at the Auburn Hotel. This banquet is the high spot of the year for the G.A.A. girls, for at this time several awards are given to girls who have earned them. The officers for 1948-1949 were Barbara Bauer, president; Susan Sanders, vice-presi- dent, Jayne Burgoyne, secretary; and Helen Grimm, treasurer. The sponsor for the G.A.A. club is Miss Van Deursen.

It was organized by their pres- ent sponsor, Mrs. Gene Holdeman. She feh the freshmen and sophomore girls should have a club. They seem to agree because it has been a very successful organization. They meet at the local Y on the second and fourth Monday of every month. Their meetings consists of speakers and discus- sion groups. The officers, Charlotta Sellew, president; Mary Alice Schooley, vice-president; Vir- ginia Grogg, secretary; Joan Swally, treas- urer; Sharon Sprott, sergeant-at-arms, have done an excellent job. Mrs. V. R. SwaUey, their club mother, has done much to make this year a success. Their social schedule has been very full. They started out the year with their annual picnic at Eckhart Park. They held their for- mal initiation at the Y. At Christmas the club went group caroling. They also sold home made candy at Thimlar ' s Variety Store, and they gave the proceeds to CARE and the March of Dimes. This is the kind of activity that makes Au- burn proud of their future citizens. Page 58 The Devirs Journal This year a new exlra-curricular activity was added to the already long list. Since the discontinuation of the CHAT- TER-BOX which folded up in the early thir- ties because of financial reasons, there has been a smothering desire among the stu- dents to print another school paper. In the school year of 40-41 a spark flick- ered. The students issued a mimeographed paper called the WINDJAMMER, but this proved unsuccessful and the spark died out. This year another fire was kindled by the presidents of the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y. After much discussion A.H.S. gave birth to a school paper. The presidents of the two clubs were appointed editor and assistant editor. The first issue of the newcomer had no name. A contest was held to name the pa- per and the gossip column. The winning names were submitted by Fred Bauer, who named the paper THE DEVIL ' S JOURNAL, and Joan Swalley, who branded the gossip column DEVILTRY. The DEVIL ' S JOURNAL was to be a week- ly paper, but it was changed to a bi-month- ly paper. The students came up against many problems, but somehow they have manag- ed to solve them. Much credit for the Journal ' s success goes to Helen Grimm, editor; Jim Schooley, as- sistant editor; and the faculty advisers. Miss Duguid and Mr. Miller, This is just another project in which the students have shown themselves capable of handling a large job. Husselman, C. Fruechtenicht, J. Nugcn.

The Librarians If it is references you want, our school fibrary has them. Our Auburn High School library and the librarians are another of the many assets of our school. We can boast of an appropriate and complete reference library. All the books and librarians are under the supervision of Miss Carol Dawson. Spec- ial tribute should be made to her for her efforts. Everyday we see her taking care of the many details involved in running an ef- ficient library. The librarians have aided many bewildered students with the prob- lems of their assignments, which at first seemed to have no answer. This year ' s capable librarians held many responsibilities. Each one received some training in helping students to find the ma- terial which they needed. They have also kept the books checked in and out. We must not overlook all the work necessary to keep the book shelves and magazine rack in or- der. The work of the librarian s, as you can see, is an almost endless job. For their work and efforts, the librarians deserve the sin- cere gratitude of their fellow students. Page 60 Chop ' em down. Jim! The Scragg Bros. Shirl Pin ball kings S. L. Working?

Why, the first three weeks of football practice, of course! On August 16, approximately sixty boys reported for their annual Turkish bath. The remnants of last year ' s undefeated squad consisted of twelve lettermen. Nine were seniors, Jim Schooley, Wayne Michael, Jack Lochner, Bill Geiser, Clay- ton Myers, Steve Feagler, Ted Magnuson, Pete Butler ,and Don Derrow; and three were juniors, Ted Miller, Max Huck Reynolds, and Barney Beers. The job of wiping the blood off Jack Loch- ner ' s face went to Bill Weinert, who performed his other duties of manager very capably, too. These boys were joined by Bob Bates, Ken Mcln- turf. Buck Hampshire, Jay Hildebrandt, and many others to produce a team which suffered only one defeat in tying for the conference championship. The first game was against Columbia City on September 10. Good passing aided the Red Devils ' attack as they fought off the Eagles, 13-6. The next week, however, the spoilers came to town in the form of Decatur. The Yellowjackets stopped a 24-game winning streak that was four years accumulating as they rolled over a dead bunch of Red Devils, 14-0. Determined to get a new string of wins going, the Red and Black outfought the Bluffton Tigers. Although tackle Bill Geiser and back Pete Butler were out of the line-up, the Red Devils passed and ran their way to a 6-0 victory. Threatening all the time. Auburn was able to push the ball over the goal line only once, on a charge by Beers. Steve Feagler became the first Red Devil to lay aside his uniform for the year when he dislocated his shoulder in a practice session, but Buck Hamp- shire did a good job in his place at guard for the balance of the season. Hartford City became Auburn ' s third victim by the lopsided score of 39-0. Derrow, Reynolds, and Beers did the greater part of the running and scoring in the fracas. The Howe Cadets threw a momentary scare into the Red Devils, but with good pass-catching by Wayne Michael and Ken Mclnturf and hard running by Derrow and Beers, the Cadets were added to the list of scalps by a score of 20-0. Jim Schooley was out of this game and the next with a slight concussion received in practice. Another set of Cadets was taken in tow by the Red Devils as Concordia knuckled under, 14-7. The middle of the line — Lochner, Myers, and Geiser — showed up very well in this game, and Mclnturf did his usual good work in pass-catching, kicking, and tackling, but Wayne Michael received a twisted knee that kept him out of most of the game and the rest of the season. The undefeated Warsaw Tigers came to Carr field and immediately got the jump on the Red Devils, but after that one score, any Tiger who came past the line of scrimmage took his life in his hands. Bill Geiser was lost for the remainder of the season with a ruptured blood vessel in his leg that made it swell up and turn all different colors. New Haven took a bad beating at the hands of Auburn, 39-7, in a game which featured many long runs and good passes. Ted Miller and Pete Butler completed passes for half the touchdowns, and Don Derrow ran wild through the Bulldog line. The Garrett game on October 27 was a sad First row: J. Gams, R. McComb, P.

This was to be the last game for each of the boys. Mixed plays brought victory to the Red Devils. Auburn had nine men who figured in the con- ference teams. Jack Lochner made the first con- ference team for the third straight year at tackle, and Jim Schooley was selected at first string end. Myers, at guard, Magnuson, at center, and Der- row, at halfback, were on the second team, and Ken Mclnturf, Buck Hampshire, Ted Miller, and Barney Beers were given honorable mention. Finally, on December 21, the team was reward- ed for its efforts on the gridiron by letters and silver footballs. Letters were given to Bob Bates, Barney Beers, Pete Butler, Steve Butler, Don Der- row, Steve Feagler, Buck Hampshire, Paul Hath- away, Jay Hildebrandt, Jack Lochner, Chick Mc- Comb, Ken Mclnturf, Ted Magnuson, Wayne Michael, Ted Miller, Clayton Myers, Huck Rey- nolds, Jim Schooley, Harold Wirts, Bill Geiser, and Bill Weinert, the student manager. Silver footballs were given to Bob Bates, Pete Butler, Don Derrow, Steve Feagler, Bill Geiser, Jack Lochner, Ken Mclnturf, Ted Magnuson, Clay- ton Myers, Wayne Michael and Jim Schooley.

Mdnturf Basketball 1948-49 This year Auburn High has had a basketball team and season of which it can boast for many years to come. The ' 49 edition of the Red Devils was, without a doubt, one of the best the school has ever had. Hanging up a record of 16 games without a loss and a season record of 18 wins and 2 losses, the ' 49ers rambled all the way to the State Finals in the annual IHSAA tourney before succumbing to the eventual State Champs. The Red Devils brought the NEIC trophy back to the halls of AHS by winning all of theii conference games, and they gave the school its first holiday tourney trophy. Practice this year began on November 1, when 45 boys answered Coach Showalter ' s annual call. The first team was cut down to ten boys — four seniors. Bob Bates, Don Derrow, Ken Mcln- turf, and Jim Schooley; and six juniors: Don Kelly, Chick McComb, Ted Miller, Theo Webb, Roger Wertenberger and Barney Beers. Hugh Western was selected as the student manager, and Jack Loch ner was made statistician. The season opened with a tough job — four games in eight days. The Red Devils looked rather ragged in skimming by Hartford City, 48-45, on Friday night, and then were forced to go all out to beat Ashley the next night by the same margin, 42-39. On Wednesday and Friday of the next week, Butler and Concordia of Fort Wayne man- aged to stay with us only in the first half before they were beaten convincingly by scores of 50-26 and 53-33, respectively. After such an auspicious start, the Red Devils couldn ' t be talked out of any victories for a long time. Again the Auburn vic- tory margin was three points as South Side bit the dust, 39-36. The trail to the NEIC championship began as New Haven knuckled under, 41-31. North Side became the third of the Fort Wayne schools to say Uncle as they were beaten 55-41. The Red Devils knocked off Garrett, 39-33, and then took over the unofficial city championship of Fort Wayne by edging Central, 39-38. In the holiday tourney, staged here among Kendallville, Angola, Nappanee, and Auburn, the Red Devils turned the trick by cracking a surprise Angola zone defense, 52-33, and then swamping a tired Nappanee team by 66-33. The following week we faced Angola in regular season play, and again they tasted defeat, 48-34. Elkhart took a drubbing, 53-35, and then, in one of the crucial games of the year, the Red Devils beat a good Kendallville team, 36-25, in soite of illness on the squad. War- saw, football NEIC co-champs with Aubun, could- n ' t maintain the pace set by the Red and Black and went home thirty points in arrears, 56-26. Another football revenae took place when we licked Decatur 54-34. The night after that ram- page, Mishawaka brought a team of giants to the local goalhall. Although they tried every possible way short of homicide, the Red Devils couldn ' t put it over, and they ended their victory string, 45-51. Auburn beat Columbia City 55-34 to assure at least a tie for the conference crown, but lost their chance to lose fewer games than any other Auburn team as Wabash administered a heart- Page 72 breaking defeat, 40-41. In the final game of the season, the Red Devils served notice that they weren ' t ready to quit playing for the year as they took the conference championship by slaughter- ing Bluffton, 53-29. In the Sectional we drew Butler as our first opponent. A combination of jitters and hard driv- ing on the part of the Butler boys resulted in a close game, 52-43. As the Red Devils settled down-- however, victories came easier. Churubusco drop- ped out of the tourney as they suffered a 62-39 defeat, Garrett took the count for the second time of the year by a score of 57-33, and we beat An- gola, 71-47, for the third straight time to take over as Sectional champions. In the Regional, held at North Side ' s gym, we put the Howe Military Ca- dets through their paces, 45-20, and then out- clawed the Central Tigers, 51-47, to represent this area at the Muncie Semi-finals for the first time since 1945. The Kokomo ' Cats, who also at- tended the ' 45 show, reached the end of the line, 54-43. One of the toughest games of the year came in the evening, when New Castle gave us quite an argument over who was to play for the North- east down at Indianapolis. However, after a rough-and-tumble affair, it was Auburn by two, 45-43, as the first Semi-final championship in the history of the school came to rest in the Auburn trophy case. At the State finals, thouah, the Red Devils ran into a bunch of never-say-die Wildcats from Jasper, who became the third and last team to defeat the ■49ers. After a see-saw game, Jasper came out ahead, 53-48. Some of the sting was taken out of the loss, however, when Jasper was crowned State champ in the evening, and Jim Schooley, a member of the Red Devils team, was awarded the A. attitude. L Trester medal for mental Many honors came to the Red Devils, both in- dividually and as a team. Roger Wertenberger and Jim Schooley were placed on the all-confer- ence first team at guard and center, respectively. Ken Mclnturf was awarded a forward spot on the second team, and Don Derrow, Don Kelly, and Barney Beers were given honorable mention. In addition to the conference selections, several Red Devils were placed on all-Sectional, -Regional, -Semi-final, and -State teams. Besides the new record of 16 games won in a row, the ' 49ers es- tablished a record by winning 26 games in a season, another by winning 13 of them on our home floor, a third by becoming the school ' s first State final tourney entrant, and, finally, by scoring 1449 points in a single season. Jim Schooley broke Bill Wattier ' s old individual scoring record for a season by dumping in 450 points. On April 20, Barney Beers, Don Kelly, Chick McComb, Ted Miller, Theo Webb, Roger Werten- berger, Bob Bates, Don Derrow, Ken Mclnturf, and Jim Schooley were av arded varsity leLters. Bert Western received a manager ' s letter, and Carolyn Sue Mitchell and John Renner, who so ably performed as cheer leaders this year, were presented with yell letters. The four seniors — Bob Bates, Don Derrow, Ken Mclnturf, and Jim School- ey — received their senior letter blankets, and Jim Schooley was awarded the foul shooting medal for making the highest percentage of free throws throughout the year.

This team usually is made up of sophomores and freshmen, although occasionally juniors play on it for practice. The reserve team, which is much like a training camp for future Red Devils, plays a full eighteen-game schedule, but does not participate in tournament play. The Imps played a tough schedule this year, as did the Red Devils, but, unlike their big brothers, they lost several of the close ball games. They still managed to come over the hump, how- ever, winning ten of their eighteen games. The starting five of the Imps was selected from a group of about eight boys — Steve Butler, John Gams, Paul Hathaway, Bill Myers, Bob Seigel, Jerry Griffith, Cal Grosscup, and Lyle Stemen. All but Cal are sopho- mores. Dave Michael, Dave Timberlin, and Jack Wappes, freshmen, also saw action with the Imps. The reserves started slowly this year, losing five of their first seven games. Then, however, they turned the tables on their oppo- nents, winning five of the next seven. One more loss and three more wins completed the schedule. The scoring for the Imps was fairly even. Billy Dead-Eye Myers led the group with 111 points, and he was followed closely by Steve Elbows Butler with 98. Third in the list of scorers was Paul Hathaway with 78 points, and then fairly close together were Bob Seigel, 54, Cal Grosscup, 42, and John Garns, 39. The other boys who played with the Imps scored 44 points among them. Following is a complete list of the games and the scores.

Sixty-five boys reported to the well-liked coach to try to better last year ' s record. The opening meet of the season was held at Carr field against Butler. The Windmills were buried under an avalanche of points, 88-43. Wayne Michael led the attack with two firsts in the pole vault and high jump. Mike repeated his double win and was joined by Barney Beers, who won the hundred and broad jump, as the Red Devils snowed Kendallville under by an 86-39 score. Garrett was a little tougher, but, with the aid of high scoring in the field events. Auburn pulled off their third win of the season, 61 Vs to 53%. An indication of the strength of the ' 48 team came on April 24, when the boys presented Zeke with the Goshen Relays Class B championship trophy. The middle- distance men participated in two or three events apiece as the Red Devils outclassed the rest of the Class B teams by five points and better. The next week Auburn continued in its winning ways by knocking off Decatur, 82V2-42V2. Highlights of the meet included a clean sweep of the shot put by Myers, Geiser, and Scott, and the low hurdles by Fred Butler, Beers, and Sparrie Derrow. The team completed its conquest of the Big Meets by taking the Kokomo Relays with 30i%4 points — nine points ahead of the nearest competitor. Wayne Michael broke the pole vault record with an 11 ' yi-) ,; leap, and Fred Butler fractured the low hurdle mark with a winning time of 24 seconds flat. The North Side Papooses took the Imps in a B team meet, 70-45. Barney Beers pulled a leg muscle which kept him out of the conference meet the next week ,in which Garrett de- feated the Red Devils for the only time during the whole season. The event was held in a driving rain, and that con- dition, plus the fact that Auburn failed to do its usual heavy scoring in the dashes, added up to a 62V2-6IV3 loss for the Red and Black. In the County Meet, Auburn resumed the track throne of the district with a 26 1 2 point margin over Garrett, the nearest competitor. On May 15, the sectional meet was held at North Side ' s track. The Red Devil mile relay team unofficially broke Auburn ' s record for that event. Wayne Michael copped a second in the pole vault and then went on to the State meet. Jim Schooley tied for second in the high jump but lost the toss which would have enabled him to join Mike in his trip to Indianapolis. On May 2 the coveted letters and senior awards were given to the boys who had fulfilled the requirements. Letters were awarded to Bob Bates. Barney Beers, John Bower, Wayne Boyd, Fred Butler, Don Derrow, Al Hauk, Jack Lochner, Bob Manon, Ted Magnuson, Wayne Michael, Kenny Mclnturf, Clayton Myers, Dick Seigel, Jim Schooley, Forrest Scott, and Bob Scott. Paul Rodecap, who did an excellent job in taking care of the boys, received his manager ' s letter. The seniors, who received their silver track shoes, were John Bower, Wayne Boyd, Fred Butler, Bob Manon, Dick Seigel, Forrest Scott, and Bob Scott.
