ir ri 3 y C ' v ' ' .tl ' Niaiti ' iiiiiiii- VOUME l Page 1 (neuAcnd Our theme for this year is that of a circus. As you can readily perceive from the various sections of the book, Vi e have attempted to display how the different phases of the school curriculum and activ- ities are concurrent with the aspects of circus life. The students, playing a brief but important part, are molded and directed by the teachers or trainers. The trainers, in turn, must adhere to the wishes and commands of the School Board or the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has as its main task the careful manipulating of affairs so as to assure precise and accurate functioning. All must know and follow their parts capably and well to uphold the prestige which such an organization re- quires. Our Big Top is the entire, intricate school system, and our greatest performance in life will be a striving for happiness and success. Page 2 True worth is in being, not seeming — In doing, each day that goes by. Some little good .... — Alice Carey from Nobility Miss Armstrong during her years of teaching in A.H..S. has instilled into those who have been in her classes the rudiments of the English language in all its phases and also, although against greater odds, a knowledge of Latin. Those who have studied under Miss Armstrong will always look back upon their years with her as a period of interest and learning. With humble and sincere Thanks, we ded- icate this book to one who has accomplished much in her chosen vocation.

MR, E. A. HUSSELMAM is serving his eighth term as a member of the Auburn School Board, He is now, for the seventh year, its president. Through his great personal interest in all school activities, he has gained a thorough understanding of school problems. His work on the school board has demonstrated his ability to solve them. Knowledge and sincere appreciation of his duties have added another full year of accomplishments. MR. W. G. WEINERT is now completing his second year as secretary of the Auburn School Board. His many years of meeting the people of our community in his daily business, and his interest in our civic affairs serve him well in his present capacity. His previous year of exper- ience and his increasing knowledge of the intricacies of school management have made him a valuable mem- ber of the Board which di- rects the finances, policies and proceedings of our school system in Auburn. MR. HENRY M. SHOOK is beginning his first year as a member of the Auburn School Board. His interest in school affairs is heightened because he has three small daughters in the elementary system. He has, moreover, proved himself most capable in managing his own busi- ness. His participation in civic affairs has accomplished much toward improving the community. Considering these and other achievements, he should be a great asset to our school system. Page .A:ji t. Hi. iie.l6 ui ama MR. H. L. McKENNEY Mr. McKenney continues to demonstrate his executive ability in the efficient manner in which he superintends the Auburn School System. Too few students realize the superintendent ' s responsibilities, which include many and various problems such as personnel, finance, and pur- chasing, as well as the maintenance of five school build- ings. Under his leadership. Auburn High School has gained a very high academic rating, which students after their graduation have found to be much to their advan- tage. This is a high tribute to Mr. McKenney ' s successful management, but it is his sincere interest in the students and his unceasing friendliness which have endeared him to all students. They are indeed proud and fortunate to have him as their superintendent. EMMA STEBING is the girl whom we see every afternoon in Mr. Miller ' s office. The students are all familiar with her friendliness and sin- cerity in helping them over the various rough spots which occur in a student ' s life. Her ready assistance to Mr. Miller has made her a neces- sity in carrying out the various activities of an efficient principal ' s office. CARMA PATEE is very familiar around the halls of A.HS. Her willingness to assist the students in their many hours of need has won her recognition as an able friend. For those who have not required her services, a kindly smile or a cheerful nod has sufficed to make her well liked. Her efficient work and service to Mr. McKenney have proved her ability as a competent secretary. MR. LLOYD MILLER came to Auburn in 1929 as teacher of citizenship, vocations, and world history. January 1, 1950, marked the beginning of his fourteenth year as principal of Auburn High School. His responsibilities and duties have increased with the years, and he is now com- pletely occupied with the many and varied school ac- tivities. The demands upon his time and energy are countless, and all too often one may perceive light gleam- ing in his office long after regular hours. Mr. Miller, how- ever, considers his overtime but a part of his numerous duties, and he is ever ready and eager to assist students in their troubles and crises.

Our job complete, with anxious hearts, we bring it now to you, The Follies of ' 50 here compiled by a tried and able staff, Will make you think and sigh a bit, and maybe make you laugh. We sought and searched for something that would make our annual diff-erent. And then, methinks, in dreams, some timely ideas were sent. We slaved and sweated with harassed minds to get the issues out When we said we would fand it took some hearts quite stout To resist the urge to wait until the latest possible minute. But they withstood that evil one; they knuckled down and did it). Now to the staff we ' ll give our deep, sincere and humble thanks For all the wonderful work they ' ve done to make our annual rank As high as all the other books that Auburn has brought forth. Our appreciation also goes to that fine one, of course, Mr. Montague, who labored to make this annual more our own. And, yes, to Mr. Davis, who was always more than prone To snap a portion of the pictures that m this book you ' ll find. And get those and the others to us at the special time. The Auburn Printing Company set the type in finished form. The Heckman Bindery bound the book and how we must have worn Them out to find a cover that would all students suit.

They attended a beauty cul- ture demonstration. They took part in a joint dis- cussion with the Hi-Y at the courthouse. There were various discussion groups among the girls at their regular meetings, which were held every two v eeks on Wednesday night. The spring dis- trict conference was held in Auburn this year. Norma Schwartz, Rebecca Lemish, Betty Frazee, and Mrs. Holdeman attended a district conference at Fort Wayne. At Christmas, Tri-Hi-Y sent a Care package to England. The officers for the first semester were: presi- dent, Betty Frazee; vice president, Betty Vailieu; secretary, Sandra Hardenbrook; treasurer, Norma Schwartz; and sergeant-at-arms, Jane Griffith. New officers for the second semester were Mar- gie Frazee, vice president, and Marcia Main, ser- geant-at-arms. Miss Wood, the club sponsor, and Mrs. Holdeman, the Y sponsor, performed their duties very diligently and were a great help in furthering activities of the club. Interest in Tri-Hi-Y and its achievements con- tinues to grow, and each year sees more mem- bers and a wider field of activity. Page 48 jti-y The Hi-Y club has about sixty members who meet twice a month. They have had many inter- esting meetings and were entertained by guest speakers, movies, and discussion groups. In December they entertained their girl friends at their annual dance. The familiar Hi-Y court was very much in evidence and fines were high. The leaders of the group were Theo Webb, president; Steve Butler, vice president; Barnell Beers, secretary; Russell McCombs, treasurer; and Calvin Hampshire, chaplain. Mr. Weathers was the club sponsor, and Mr. Holdeman was the Y adviser. Jim Reynolds, Dave Sprott, Bob Riddle, and Dave Richardson attended the conference at Mar- ion, Indiana, on December 9 and 10. They listened to some very interesting discussions and later gave • entertaining speeches concerning what they saw, heard, and learned. On December 7, the Hi-Y club under the spon- sorship of Mr. Weathers held a panel discussion at the courthouse. It proved a huge success, and plans for more such student-parent participa- tion activities are being formulated. Members of the panel were Mr. and Mrs. James Little, Mr, and Mrs. Joseph Sprott, Roberta Little, David Feagler, Pat Rhodes, Diana Messenger, Barnell Beers, Marjorie Frazee, and John Renner. They gave their opinions on such controversial subjects as Use of the Family Car, Allowances, Number of Dates during the Week, and Date Hours. The program committee appointed very capa- ble committees and had a carefully planned year. This year may well be added to the long list of successful years of the Hi-Y. First row: J. Renner, J.

It does this by two methods. First by study in school and second by the student ' s own experience through super- vised farm practice. All of this was done in the hope of creating effi- cient young farmers and leaders of their rural community. This year the membership in the local chapter of Future Farmers of America has risen to 25 over last year ' s 23. All chapter meetings are carri ed on in a formal manner. These meetings are held on the first Monday of each month and often educational films are shown and county officials or an F.F.A. member gives a talk. So far this year the chapter boys have partici- pated in a pest contest, promoted jello sales, and entered agricultural judging contests. The boys ' hopes are higher this year in the judging field since the past two years contest placings have been almost the same, but they wont to see state judging besides district. The officers for this year have been: John Sny- der, president; Larry Refner, vice president; Har- old Wirts, secretary; Dick Lochner, treasurer; and Mr. Deck, adviser. The schedule for the year ' s meetings was as follows: Sept. 13 — Chapter organization. Oct. 17 — First meeting. Oct. 19 — Training conference. Nov. 8 — Initiation of Green Hands. Dec. 14— Talk by Harry Shull. Jan. 10 — Soil testing demonstration by John Sny- der and Dale Mavis. Feb. 14 — Movie. Mar. 14 — County Agent. Apr. 11 — Poultry demonstration by Dick Lochner and John Chorpenning. May 9 — Dairy Demonstration by Max Grogg. Each year the Auburn Chapter of Future Farm- ers of America sends two chapter members to the state meeting at Purdue University. Here they join other boys from all parts of the state, and committees made up of these boys set up the standards for Indiana boys who will be tomor- row ' s farmers. Page 50 «e utule.

In 1946, the club became an affiliated member of the national organization of F.H.A. The pur- poses of the club are to promote a growing ap- preciation of worthy home membership; to en- courage democracy in home and community life; to work for good home and family life for all; to promote international good will; to foster cre- ative leadership in home and community life; to provide wholesome individual and group recrea- tion; and to further interest in home economics. The theme for this year ' s work is Happy Hours. The club is mterested m seemg 6 ' . HA. grow even more m the future. The girls meet every month for discussion groups. There are also par- ties and a banquet during the year. Each year the F.H.A. plans two projects, one of which will be worth while to the club, and the other to benefit someone else. The officers are; president, C. Sommers; vice president, H. Blevins; secretary-treasurer, I. Bal- liet; reporter, B. Campbell; candy manager, M. Jones; historian, L. Shambaugh; parliamentarian, L.

Under the direction of Mr. Kellberg and the leadership of Betty Vallieu, the drum majorette, the band made a very commendable showing. Students of Auburn High have appreciated the spirit which the band has added to their football and basketball games. The band has operated on almost a year-round basis, giving concerts in the summer in Auburn and participating in the Lions ' State Convention in Indianapolis last June. The band added much to the splendid Christ- mas program. It also gave a two-night perform- ance at the Court Theatre January 10 and 11 in connection with the movie The Secret Garden. Mr. Kellberg entered the band in the Northern Indiana State Contest in April. Many individual members of the band entered the Solo and En- semble Contest held in Fort Wayne on Feb. 18. About thirty members of the band, through the generosity of the Auburn active and associate chapters of Tri Kappa, have been privileged to hear one or more of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic orchestra concerts during the winter. Mr. Kellberg certainly can pu ll the music out of the band. By his efforts, the cooperation of the members, and the help of citizens of the commu- nity, the band has had a very successful year. It is hoped that hard work will bring even better results next year as they go marching along together. First row: A White, J, Gerig, C.

The chorus with an enrollment of 32 girls added a pleasing tone to a number of programs this year. Their novel harmonizing of Jingle Bells in the Christmas program will always be remem- bered. They participated in the district orches- tra, band, and chorus contest on April 1. Jean Mavis, Mary Alice Schooley, and Sharon Smith formed a trio, and entered the district en- semble contest at Fort Wayne. This trio sang in the fall for the junior-senior play and later for the County Teachers ' Federation. Much credit is due Miss Daggy for the success of this year, but the cooperation of the girls also has helped. May they continue to travel along, singing a song, side by side.

Qiuo- The Gitta Sereny Club, formed at the sugges- tion of Miss Gitta Sereny, an Auslro-Hungarian actress who sacrificed a career in order to aid her suffering country, has met with continued success this year. It had a membership of seventy students. These students have taken it upon themselves to make new friends abroad. They have sent sev- eral Care packages, and later this year they brought soap wrappers which insured a cake of soap for every two wrappers presented to Care. Many of the students are carrying on regular cor- respondence with our neighbors abroad. This group has adopted two schools in Austria. They are trying to help these schools. Much has been accomplished toward showing these stu- dents of Austria the success of our democracy. They truly need our friendship and help. The officers for the year were Ted Miller, pres- ident; Marjorie Frazee, vice president; Jack Moch- amer, secretary; and Roberta Little, treasurer. Mr. Lawson has been the sponsor for this group. His guidance has been greatly appreciated.

Some of the sports which G.A.A. provided are speedball, volleyball, basketball, Softball , bad- minton, archery, shuffleboard, bowling and swimming. To join the club a girl must have fifty points. Six practices in any one sport count as ten points. Numerals are awarded the girls when they have acguired 150 points, a letter for 250 points, and a state G.A.A. plaque for 350 points. During the volleyball season. Auburn G.A.A. sent two teams, composed of eight girls each, to Kendallville to participate in a six-team tourney with Columbia City, Angola, Warsaw, Albion, and Kendallville. The teams came home victorious after winning from Kendallville by one point. The two teams of equal ability were composed of S. Smith, M. Schooley, M. Hess, P. Brady, J. Cox, D. Hay, A. Romeiser, and P. Hidy, captain. The other team included H. Bievins, P. Krick, J. Mavis, C. Mitchell, C. Sellew, V. Picker, B. Vallieu, and M. Bauer, captain. Just before Christmas, the G.A.A. girls held a potluck Christmas party. They played games, ate, and sang Christmas carols. In the spring Miss Van Duersen accompanied three girls. Norma Schwartz, Joan Swailey, and Alice Romeiser, to a week-end G.A.A. camp down in beautiful Brown County, Indiana. They spent the three all too short days engrossed in various activities and in acquiring many new friends. The spring banquet was the high point of the season for the G.A.A. girls. Awards for good sportsmanship, outstanding freshman athlete, best high school athlete, and the officers for the com- ing year were announced. The officers for 1949-50 were Mary Bauer, pres- ident; Diana Messenger, vice president, Sandra Hardenbrook, treasurer; and Norma Schwartz, secretarry. Miss Van Duersen is the faculty spon- sor for G.A.A. Page 57 First row. S Baxter, N, KUnk, H Quance, P Tiinbrook, C Fru :-chtenicht, A Romeiser, M Gengnagel, V Picker, J. Yoquelet, S. Dragoo, C.

At each meeting they have a speaker or a discussion group. The girls had a candy sale again this year and have been busy helping their overseas neighbors through Care. They had two very entertaming dances. They have proved themselves both active and industrious. The club chose capable leaders for its officers. They were: president, Alice Romeiser; vice presi- dent, Mary Gengnagel; secretary, Charlene Fruechtenicht; treasurer, Virginia Picker, ser- geant-at-arms, Sandy Timbrook. Having thus enumerated Teen-Y ' s proceedings for the yecT of 1950, we ' ll extend to them the hand of approval for a job well done. Page 58 7 e jbeocW aulnal In the second year of its publication, the Devils ' Journal was very successful. The editor and staff added many new and interesting articles to the newspaper. The paper was published and distributed every two weeks. It usually contained eight pages and cost the reader five cents. The main staff was a very capable one. It was as follows: Diana Messenger, editor-in-chief; Ro- berta Little, assistant editor; Mary Bauer, business manager; Don Johnson, art editor; Ed Quinn, or- ganization editor; Marge Frazeo, organization ed- itor; Theo Webb, gossip editor; Joyce Nugen and Mary Alice Schooley, proof readers; Ted Miller, athletic editor; Eric Schaab and Pat Brady, humor editors; Bob Burgoyne, layout; Gwen Griffith, head typist; Phyllis Hidy, head printer; Hugh Western, secretary; and Miss Dawson, faculty sponsor. There were many other students who wrote various articles and were a credit to our newspaper staff. This year ' s staff added many original ideals to the plan set forth by last year ' s newspaper staff. They also exchanged publications with neighbor- ing schools and it was interesting to discover what was happenmg to our friends around us. Many pupils were thrilled and proud to have their essays, poems, short stories, and opinions published for friendly criticism or approval. The newspaper proved to be a remarkably accurate cross section of the abilities and feelings of the Auburn High School student body. Therefore, congratulations, paper staff, for a fine job v ell done. First row: R. Little, B. Vallieu, P. Brady, D, Mesenger, Miss Dcwson, G. Griffith, M. Bau-r, C, Gonser. Second row: J. Renner, P.

BalUet 7 e JliLfuiliCLfii, I can ' t find this article and my report is due the first thing tomorrow morning. This is a familiar cry of students. Not a day passes but some elusive book or magazine is found for us by the school librarian, or one of our eighteen student assistant librarians. The reference library is one which the students of Auburn High find very useful. More than a hundred volumes have been added to the library and to classroom collections since September. Current magazines help the students to be bet- ter informed in styles, inventions, sports, farming, health, and present day events. This year, for the first time, a four-day course in the use of the library at school and at the Eckhart Public Library was given to freshmen in their guidance course. How to find the book they need- ed and where to find it on the shelves were the two main points of emphasis. Books of facts were presented as tools whereby students could them- selves find the answers to questions.

Besides his regular duties as head football and track coach, he is assistant basketball coach. Zeke is one of the best-known and besl- liked personalities in Auburn High School. The Auburn Athletic Association, better known as the AAA-, has as its members nearly all the students of Auburn High School. The reason for this is apparent since the require- ments for membership in the club are simple. The club includes members of the football squad, basketball team, track squad, yell leaders, managers of the three major sports, band mem- bers, and season ticket holders. The club was organized to promote school spirit and to interest more students in the activities of the school. During the year, pep sessions were held in the big gym before most of the important games. New yells were introduced by the yell lead- ers, and Randy and Zeke have been featured speakers at sessions preceding crucial games. y Uc -i2i ' i Li ' -- A? . 2 J Jl ' ■ Q .

Coach Zeke Young selected Jim Reynolds as football manager and Harold Hayden as statistician. Steve Feagler was also under Zeke ' s supervision as the manager of the ' 49 track squad. Max Reynolds was chosen by Randy as man- ager for the basketball team. Calvin Hampshire assisted as statistician. Carolyn Gonser, Helen Blevins, and John Renner were elected by the members of the Athletic Association as yell leaders for the 1949 and 1950 football and basketball season. They very capably cheered the football and basketball teams onward in face of victory or defeat. COACH LAWSON A newcomer at Auburn High, Randy wasted no time m de- veloping the Auburn Red Dev- ils into one of the top sixteen basketball teams in the state. His booming voice also could be heard echoing across the football field where he assisted Coach Zeke Young in his du- ties as football coach.

VoMiUf ' Jf9 Page 67 aaii all i9 9 Zeke Young, being 39 years old by his own admission, started his twenty-sixth season as coach of the Red Devils by calling forth all available manpower in order to organ- ize the 1949 edition of the Auburn football squad Sixty- live boys showed up for the first practice on August 15 and were granted the privilege ol practicing any t:me they wanted as long as it was from 8:30 to 12:00 in the morning and 5:30 to 8:30 in the evening. He was very ably assisted by a new addition to A.H.S., Coach Randy Lawson, who replaced Keith Showalter as head basketball coach, and Mr. Gerald Weiler, the shop teacher ol A.H.S Among the returning regulars Irom last year ' s N.E.I. Conlerence co-champions were Jay Hildebrandt, Larry Reiner, Ted Miller, Barney Beers, and Max Reynolds, and one junior, Buck Hampshire. Around these boys Zeke hoped to build another conference championship as he had done the past three seasons The most unrewarding job on the team, that of being manager, was awarded to fim Reynolds, who filled the job very capably. Harold Hayden acted as statistician and Theo Webb as spotter. The Red Devils started the season with a bang by avenging the deleat handed them last year by t he Deca- tur Yellowjackets The Yellowjackets were snowed under by a score ol 26 to 0. The hard driving Red Devils squeez- ed past a lired up New Haven crew. The game proved to be an aerial circus and, due to interceptions and tumbles on both teams, the ball changed hands many times during the evening. Ted Miller took care ol most ol the passing lor the Red Devils, while Beers and Reynolds accounted lor most ol the ground gains. The game with the Blullton Tigers proved to be a push- over, and the Tigers were tamed to the tune of a 37 to score. The injury ol quarterback Miller did not seem to slow down the Auburn eleven as Barney Beers scored five touchdowns with his sensational passing and running attack. Many ol the touchdowns were set up by recoveries made by the alert Auburn line. Auburn won its lourth straight victory by defeating a deceptive Hartford City team by a score ol 25 to 0. It was the Red Devils ' ability to take advantage ol the breaks, the hard driving ol Beers and Reynolds, and Miller ' s pass- ing which accounted lor the offensive punch. The only threat of an Airedale score was thwarted by a terrific goal line stand by the middle ol the Auburn line, Hampshire, Wirts, and Quinn, which netted Hartlord City nothing in three tries to score. The Concordia Cadets were able to march to a 13 to 13 tie with the Red Devils. The game was a thriller all the way and, in the linal play ol the game, a long pass from Beers to Kelly almost scored and would have broken the tie. The Columbia City lilt proved to be another ol those games that had the ians on the edge of the bleachers all evening. Don Kelly, who was injured in the previous game, was unable to play, while Huck Reynolds was on the injured list also and was used sparingly. However, Bob Riddle, who had just become eligible, played a whale ol a game and helped to balance the loss caused by in- juries. Auburn ' s touchdowns came by way ol a long pass Irom Beers to Hathaway, and a one-yard plunge by Beers made possible by a tumble recovery by center Ed Quinn. One extra point meant the difference of the ball game and the game finally ended 13 to 12 with the Devils out in front, much to the disgust of Columbia City fans. The Warsaw Tigers finally broke a four year old jinx held over them by the Devils by handing the Red Devils the short end ol an 18-7 score The Warsaw line outcharg- ed the Auburn line both on defense and offense with the result that the Auburn backfield did not have enough time to uncork their deceptive plays. This was Warsaw ' s sev- enth straight victory and the first loss this season for the Red Devils. Everyone but the water boy was used in defeating the Royerton Ravens by a score of 46-6. The Auburn line play- ed especially well and Reiner and Hildebrandt spent as much time in the Ravens ' backlield as most ol their own players. The touchdowns were scored by Beers 2, Miller 2, Grilfith, Kelly, and Hathaway. In the linal game ol the season. Auburn piled up the biggest score in history against the Garrett Railroaders. Delensive ends, Richardson and Butler, gave the Garrett backlield little time to twiddle their thumbs and very sel- dom was Garrett able to go much larther than the line ol scrimmage.

Everyone of the Auburn team was successful in his attempts to score and even the substitutes did not let up the steam until the gun cracked and the score read 54-0. This year ' s record showed seven wins, one tie and one defeat. In the last 51 games played by the Auburn Red Devils, they have won 41 games and lost only two. As a result of Columbia City defeating Warsaw, Auburn shared a three-way tie in the conference championship. On the all-conference team. Auburn was able to place Beers and Quinn on the first team, and Miller, Refner and Richard- son on the second team, while Butler, Hampshire, and Reynolds received honorable mention. On December 22 the long awaited awards finally were given out at an assembly held to honor the 1949 Red Uevil Football squad. Those receiving letter awards were .Steve Butler, Junior Derrow, John Gams, Jerry Griffith, Max Grogg, Cal Grosscup, Paul Hathaway, Dave Michael, Richard Predmore, Dave Richardson, Bob Riddle, Jack Scott, LaVern Sharp, and Dave Timberlin, with Jim Rey- nolds as manager. Silver footballs were awarded to Barnell Beers, Jay Hildebrandt, Don Kelly, Russell McComb, Ted Miller, Richard Lochner, Ed Quinn, Larry Refner, Max Reynolds, and Roger Wertenberger.

BcukeiLcdl VaMittf, ' 49 ' -50 Page 70 liaJzetLall f 949-50 Even though this year ' s Auburn Red Devils did not start out with a bang, before the end of the season they devel- oped into one of the top sixteen teams in Indiana basket- ball. The final tally of the Auburn Red Devils ' season and tourney play showed a record of eighteen wins and nine losses. In the Conference race the Red Devils were able to place second, but made up for this in the tourneys by battling their way down to the Muncie Semi-Finals, where they were beaten after a tough battle against the Marion Giants. Even though the Red Devils lost an excellent coach in person of ICeith Showalter, they gained an equally capable mentor in Randall Lawson. Randy was formerly head basketball coach at Wabash, where he established a fine record in his five years as coach there. On Oct. 27, Head Red Devil Lawson began his first season with the Devils by starting his first practice and preliminary cut. His call was answered by sixty boys. In a few weeks the final cuts were made, and the eleven varsity spots were filled by Roger Wertenberger, Barney Beers, Don Kelly, Ted Miller, Bud McComb, Theo Webb, Bill Myers, Calvin Grosscup, John Garns, Steve Butler, and Paul Hathaway Huck Reynolds was chosen as student manager, and Buck Hampshire for the job of statistician. As I said before, the Red Devils started the season in a rather slow fashion. With three games previous experience the Ashley Aces proved to be too much for the New Devils of ' 48 The final score read 51 to 45 The following Wednes- day the Red Devils breezed by a weak Butler team by a score of 60 to 42. Friday of that same week the Red Devi s really began to roll by defeating a better than average Concordia crew by a score of 72 to 49. Great hopes were placed on the Auburn Red Devils only to be shattered by a defeat handed to them by a tough South Side team to the tune of a 44 to 36 score. Again, the following Friday, the Red Devils tasted defeat, served to them by the New Haven Bulldogs. Much to the sorrow of the Red Devils, the score read 48 to 41. The Red Devils still could not pull out of their slump, and the following week they were scalped by the North Side Redskins by a score of 49 to 37. It fi- nally took the rivalry between the Auburn Red Devils and the Garrett Railroaders to put the old fire back into the Devils. Playing one of their best games of the season, the Red Devils burned the Railroaders by a score of 55 to 45. The Red Devils kept right on rolling and followed the Garrett victory with a 53 to 42 victory over the Hartford City Airedales. The next two victories came as a result of the Four Team Holiday Tourney composed of Kendall- ville, Auburn, Angola, and Nappanee. First to fall before the Red Devils were the Angola Hornets by a score of 41 to 21- This brought the Red Devils against a tired Nappa- nee crew who had to win in an overtime to advance to the finals. The Red Devils had a fairly easy time in win- ning over the Bulldogs by a score of 47 to 32 in order to win the championship. The following week the Red Devils again met and defeated the Angola Hornets, this time by Page 72 a score of 36 to 28. The followmg night a sleepy bunch of Devils stumbled to a dismal defeat by the Elkhart Blue Blazers 42 to 28. After this poor exhibition of basketball, the Red Devils bounced back and played a tremendous ball game against the Kendallville Comets, v inning by the lopsided score of 81 to 44. After this victory the Red Devils kept right on going to defeat the Warsaw Tigers in an N.E.I.C. tilt. It was a rough and hard fought battle with the final score at 48 to 38. Next on the agenda for the Red Devils were the Decatur Yellowjackets. After a thrill- packed game the Red Devils finally came out on top with a score of 39 to 34. Following this victory the Red Devils could not cope with the tremendous height of the towering Cavemen from Mishawaka and were forced to take a de- feat by the score of 49 to 36. Again the Devils hit a slump, and following the Mishawaka defeat they were complete- ly outclassed by a red hot Columbia City crew who left Auburn standing in a daze holding the short end of the 60 to 49 score. After a little training trouble following the Columbia City game, a new Auburn line-up put up a terrific battle against the Wabash Apaches with the final score reading 52 to 49. The following night the newly or- ganized Red Devils turned on full steam to hand the Centra! Tigers a 49 to 40 defeat. With the return of several boys who had decided to stray from the training rules, the Red Devils really went to town and finished up the regular season with a decisive 65 to 47 win over the Bluffton Tigers. During tourney play the Red Devils really began to de- velop. The first team to fall before their wrath was the Metz Mohawks. The score was 76 to 41. The next Auburn victory came by way of a defeat handed the Red Devils ' old rivals, the Garrett Railroaders, by a score of 54 to 44 Randy ' s boys next rambled over the Angola Hornets by a score of 54 to 39. This brought the Devils to the finals with the team that had handed the Devils the first defeat of the season, the Ashley Aces. The Red Devils trailed most of the ball game and it was not until the last few minutes that they were able to push ahead and win by a score of 53 to 45. Advancing to the Regional held at Fort Wayne North Side, the Red Devils advanced to the final game by defeating the Kendallville Comets 46 to 39. In the evening game the Red Devils met a tired North Side crew and after the smoke cleared, the Redskins fled back to their tepees to hide their faces as the scoreboard plainly read Auburn 57 and North Side 39. This win put the Red Devils back in the Muncie Field House where they were so successful last year. The Devils met the Marion Giants and after pu ' - ting up a hard battle finally ran out of steam and bowed out of the tourney by a score of 57 to 51. In placing boys on the N.E.I.C. All-Star teams, Auburn did not fare so well. They were only able to place Barn ' y Beers and Roger Wertenberger on the second team with Don Kelly receiving honorable mention. However, several Auburn boys ware placed on all-regional and all-semi- final teams. Bill Myers, Don Kelly, and Barney Beers were placed on the All-Regional first team, with Cal Grosscup placed on the All-Regional second team. Barney Beers also was placed on the All-Semi-Final team. On Wednesday, March 15, the basketball awards were given out by Coach Lawson at an assembly of the student body. Those seniors who received letter blankets were Barney Beers, Don Kelly, Bud McComb, Ted Miller, Theo Webb, and Roger Wertenberger. The following under- classmen received varsity letter awards: John Gams, Steve Butler, Paul Hathaway, Bill Myers, and Calvin Grosscup. Max Reynolds received a manager ' s letter for his valuable assistance and Helen Blevins, Carolyn Gon- ser, and lohn Renner received yell letters Page 73 First row: R Cox, L Stemen, R, Delagrange, D, Houghton, J, Griffith.

This year ' s fine-up was fargefy of freshmen and juniors, with Davey tvtichaef representing the sophomores. John Gams and Steve Buffer, both members of the varsity team, pfayed on the second team to gain exper- ience and to add height when it was needed. The Imps started the season wfth pfenty of fire by trouncing the Ashley Deuces 36 to f6; but they faffed to stay on the victory trail and were defeated by the more experienced Buffer Injuns 24 to 2f. The Imps regained thefr poise by beating the bigger Concordia Re- serves by a score of 22 to 17. They again proved their abifity by defeating the South Side five 24 to 2f. The New Haven Bulfpups proved to be an easy target for the fmps, as they won, 38 to 22. Then they barefy managed to slide past the North Side Papooses with a 30 to 28 point win. The Garrett Handcars were feft hofdfng the short end of a 48 to 30 score when the fmps added another victory to their already impressive record. The fmps suffered their second foss of the season at the hands of the Hartford City Buflpups, fosing by a score of 3f to 23. The Reserves started the New Year right by breezing past t he Angola Bees with a score of 38 to 24, but they barefy managed to beat the Elkhart Reserves 23 to f7. The Kendalfviffe second five afmost proved to be too much for the Imps, but they managed to come out on top with a score of 35 to 3f. The Imps then traveled to Logansport to participate in a bfind tourney. They nosed out Ffora fn the afternoon game by a score of 22 to 2f, and they went on to win the trophy by defeating Keith Showafter ' s Logansport five by a fopsfded score of 32 to 20. A dfsastrous first quarter with the Warsaw Cubs proved to be the fmps ' downfaff, and they were forced to return home on the short end of a 36 to 30 score. They tfien travefed to Decatur and barely squeezed by them with a score of 32 to 28. The Imps faifed to outscore the bigger and heavier Mishawaka Caveboys and were trounced by a score of 43 to 29. The fmps agafn hit the victory train with a 32 to 27 point win over the Cofumbia City Eagfets. The Wabash reserves didn ' t prove to be a diffi- cuft foe for the fmps, and they breezed by with a score of 34 to 19. But the fatter again tasted defeat at the hands of the bigger and better Cen- tral Tiger Cub quintet, and the game ended with a score of 37 to 27. The fmps ended their season with an impressive 39 to 3f point win over the Bfuffton Tiger Cubs Page 74 ■h.} ' Ti- ' -iU Renner, L, Stemen, R. Barnes, D. Richardson, J. Kleeman, J. Snyder. M can .eaati-e Noon League was organized to provide intramural basketball for those boys who cared to participate and is under the supervision of Coach Zeke Young. Early in November the captains were selected by Zeke, and the teams were chosen. Noon League provided excitement and fun for a large number of students during the noon hour. Many of the games were thrilling and numerous overtimes made the games even more exciting. The following boys were chosen as captains; ]ay Hil- debrandt, Stanley Muzzillo, Ed Quinn, Larry Refner, Max Reynolds, David Richardson, David Sprott, and Jude Swalley. David Richardson dislocated his knee early in the season and his team was forced to go on with Dave coaching from the sidelines. Later in the season. Max Rey- nolds broke his ankle and also was retired to the sidelines. The season ended in a tie with David Richardson ' s team and Larry Reiner ' s team each winning eleven games and losing three. A playoff was scheduled for the follow- ing Monday with Zeke and Randy officiating. Dave ' s team won the championship game in one of the most exciting games of the season by a score of 28 to 22. The members of Dave ' s team included John Renner, Lyle Stemen, John Snyder, John Kleeman, Jack Smith, Dick Barnes, and Max Grogg. The results of the season were as follows: Team Richardson Refner Sprott Muzzillo Won 12 11 Lost 3 4 6 Team Swalley Quinn Reynolds Hildebrandt Won 6 5 5 3 Page 75 Top row; M. Reynolds, B.

It was not until April 8 that coach Zeke Young was able to issue his annual call for pros- pects ' to make up his 1949 track squad. His call was answered by about 65 hopefuls, and practice was started immediately in the gym because the tracK was not in shape to be used. With only a little more than two weeks of practice, Zeke ' s boys piled up an overwhelming score of SS ' a to 45 ' 2 over the Butler Windmills The Red and Black victory was led by outstanding performance by Michael in the pole vault, Schooley in the high jump and hurdles, and Beers in the sprints and broad jump. The Red Devils kept right on rolling and cooled the Kendallville Comets by a score of 86 to 29 The outstanding performance of the meet was an 11- loot, 10l 2- ' nch pole vault by Wayne Michael which was the best vault in the state at that time. This vault brought more sadness than joy because Wayne re-injured his bad leg and was forced to hang up his spikes for the remainder of the year. The Auburn Red Deviles breezed in ahead of the Butler Windmills by a score of 71V4 to 53 ' 4 to again win the County Crown. The first place winners for Auburn were Schooley. Sparrow Derrow, Beers, and Clayt Myers But soon the Red Devils ' luck ran out, and they wore forced to settle for fifth place in the Goshen Relays. ' Nuff said! The Youngmen splashed through with a 91 to 38 victory over the Concordia Cadets backed up by three firsts scored by Barney Beers in his special- ties, the 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, and broad jump. Following the defeat of the Cadets, the Running Red Devils seemed to regain their confi- dence and went on to win the N E l.C championship by a score of 61 points as compared to Warsaw, which came in second with 39 ' 2 points. Beers burn- ed the cinders in scoring three firsts for Auburn and setting a new record in the broad jump with a leap of 21 teet II 2 inches. Other firsts were scored by Bates and Schooley. The Red Devils had the Kokomo Cup in their grasp only to lose it by a margin of one and two- thirds points. Even though Auburn led most of the way, they could not collect enough points in the final relays to beat Mississinewa, who won the championship. Bates and Schooley were the only two Auburn boys able to win a first place. Auburn let out the stopper to defeat Garrett by an overwhelming score of 85 to 30. Auburn took every first in the meet and there never was any doubt of the outcome Following this Garrett warm- up. Coach Youug took fifteen boys to North Side, Fort Wayne, on May 13 to compete in the Indiana Sectional Track meet. From the original fifteen boys Auburn was able to qualify only two for the newly organized regional meet held at Kokomo. Barney Beers took second in the broad jump with a leap of 20 feet, 4 inches, while Jim Schooley tied for second in the high jump by clearing the bar at 5 feet, 9% inches and also placed second in his specialty, the high hurdles At the Regional meet held May 20, Beers and Schooley again were able to come through some stiff competition to qualify for the Indiana State fi- nals Barney ' s 21-foot, 2-inch broad jump was enough for a second place while Schooley, who failed to qualify in the high jump, was able to come up with a third place in the high hurdles. The following week, Barney and Jim finally met their match at the State Finals and were unable to place although they made a fine showing. On May 12 the Auburn track men were honored at a school assembly. Those receiving letter awards were ' Barney Beers, Jerry Blevins, Ted Miller, Larry Refner, Max Reynolds, Robert Seigel, and Roger Wertenberger. Silver track shoes were award- ed to the following seniors: Wayne Michael, Robert Bates, Jack Lochner, Kenneth Mclnturf, Clayton My- ers, James Schooley, and Donald Derrow, Page 78 r utwn cutd ;4cC(A€ntc m Page 79 The TienT fVicELEJx ' olume One-P ' ifth DECTOBER ' 87 Page 6H- GUNS ROAR AT AUBURN JUNCTION PICTURES OF THE FAMOUS BATTLE BULLETIN!

Noticeably ab- sent were Ted Miller, prominent night manager at the sewage disposal plant, Roger Wertenberg- er president of the Sucker ' s Savings Loan Asso- ciation, and Margee P ' razee, famous Powers ' Model (now unemployed). Although the above three were lucky enough not to be present, there were others that couldn ' t find anything else to do. So they had to come. First to arrive were Don Kelly, infamous bookie and small time racketeer, and his gorgeous gun moll, Helen Blevins. Don put up quite an argu- ment, but was finally persuaded to leave his three sub-machine guns at the desk. Next in line were Dick Barnes, a noted evan- gelist, and his fiancee, Marcia Main, hat check girl at Mochamer ' s Beer Emporium. Of course, we should not forget to mention the lovely meal. It was very cheap, only $18.33 and a half cents a plate. It consisted of burned hash, stewed olives, battered hominy grits, and one quart of flipped kidneys as a side dish. This was washed down with a large glass of cough syrup. The tasty meal was served by Wiggles Grif- fith, Lulu Haynes, Bubbles Sanders, Joint- less Hidy, and Shameless Bauer from the chorus line of Barney ' s Burlesk-Booth. Entertainment was provided by Bert ' s theat- rical agency, consisting of Madam Gonser, noted Opry Singer, and a lariat act by Betty Vallieu, assisted by John Renner. The banquet concluded with a whip cracking exhibit by Whip Quinn and his senseless partner, Fingerless Swalley.
