i OfCK PRE DM ' VOLUME 32 Aubunst ottiXfU School, AuLutot, 9n Uu ia NIGHT SCENE OF THE ALUMNI GYMNASIUM Page 2 NIGHT SCENE OF AUBURN HIGH SCHOOL Page 3 In this edition of the Follies we have tried to weave a thread of the Old V est into our theme. In many ways the various phases of our school activities parallel life on the ranch from the big boss superintendent right down to the greenhorns and mavericks. By word and art, we have tried to portray our social roundups, our athletic rodeos, our stampedes and daily life along the trail. How well we have suc- ceeded may be a moot question, but we hope you will enjoy our efforts.

E. A. HUSSELMAN has been a member of the Auburn School Board for eight years and is now serving his eighth year as its president. His long duration of member- ship has proven him to be one of our most capable members. Mr. Husselman has shown through the years a great personal interest in the students. He has shown his ability to solve our problems and help us accomplish our goals. MR. WILLIAM WEINERT is serving his third term as a member of the Au- burn School Board. He has shown his ability as an efficient businessman in our community for many years and is now filling the place of secre- tary on the board with the same dependability. His interests in school affairs are supplemented by his teen-age daughter who is now attending Auburn High School. MR. HENRY M. SHOOK, a graduate of Illinois University, will have served on the Auburn School Board for two terms at the end of this year. His interests in our school system have been furthered by his three daughters now attend- ing grade school in this city, and by his wife, who worked in our high school office for a number of years. Having managed his own company efficiently, Mr. Shook is car- rying out his office of treasurer in like manner. Page 8 Ue. Quidet, MR. H. L. McKENNEY. Under the strain of many hours of extra work and worry, Mr. McKenney is given little chance to become fully acquainted with our student body, al- though he is often seen going to and from his office during the course of the day. His program is a very wide and extensive one, reaching from our own high school to many other schools in the surroun ding communities. His congenial nod and dry wit have won him many friends both in A.H.S. and other schools with which he has contact. MRS. EMMA REEDER is almost Mr. Miller ' s third hand. Without her, he undoubtedly would be at a loss. Her efficiency, her ready smile, and her capabality have made her both well known and well liked around A.H.S. MRS. CARMA ECKERT, as Mr. McKenney ' s very capable receptionist, has saved many a student from an unhappy day at A.H.S. Her congenial personality, her willingness to help, and her pleasing smile have won her many friends in A.H.S. MR. LLOYD W. MILLER. The leader of A.H.S. with whom the students are most thoroughly acquainted is Mr. Miller. His ever ready smile and willingness to help have relieved many a freshman confused by the rules and customs of A.H.S., as well as many a senior perplexed by college problems and complications that arise in any high school. However, the great respect of the student body, and of his many friends, is proof that his worthwhile efforts are generously rewarded. Page 9 MR. LLOYD MILLER A.B., MA.

John declares that women are a nuisance, but we have heard certain contradictions to this statement. From all reports, he is happiest when the hunting is good. (Of course, we mean rabbits.) His ideal person is Henry Ford, Jr., and his ambition is to become a successful business tycoon on Wall Street.

Eric ' s vivacious personality and parties are well known. He is very capable and has been on the honor roll all four years. As he is humor editor of the annual this year, his jokes are being used to good avail. LOIS WYNE, Honor Student A.H.S. 1, 2, 3, 4; A.A.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Honor Group 2, 3, 4; Associa e Editor of the Follies 4; School Paper Staff 4; Librarian 2; G.A.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; G.A.A. Treasurer 4; Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Chorus Sec.-Treas 4; Gitta Sereny 2, 3, 4. Lois ' conscientiousness and thoughtfulness have won for her everyone ' s friendship. These traits and her depend- ability assure us that she will be a very successful nurse. ILENE BALLIET A.H.S. l r 2, 3, 4; A.A.A. 2, 4; Librarian 3; Home Ec Club 2, 3, 4: Home Ec. Sec.-Treas. 3. 4; Gitta Sereny 2, 3, 4. Ilene ' s determination and commercial knowledge will carry her far along the path in the secretarial field. The Home Ec. Club will certainly miss her next year. DAVID BARNHART A.H.S. 1, 2, 3, 4; A.A.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 1, 2, 3; Track 1, 2. Barney is an outdoor boy and his hobbies are hunting and fishing. He plans to attend Purdue and become an electrical engineer. He thinks the Navy might interrupt his plans for a while. Page 14 7 4e Quckatoai. GORDON BAUGHMAN A.H.S. 1, 2. 3, 4; A. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Gitta Sereny 3, 4; Hi-Y 3, 4. Gordon is one of the scooter brigade. Despite the fact he is quite shy, he packs a wallop with the girls. We imagine that his light brown wavy hair has something to do with it. DARREL BILLINGS A H S. 1, 2. 3, 4; A.A.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Officer 2; Football 1, 2; Track 1, 2; Noon League 1, 2, 3, 4; Band 1, 2; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4.

Despite his many early injuries, lab has come through and been a great asset to this year ' s basketball team. His favorite pastime is loafing at the canteen. We suspect thai this is because of the many girls who hang out there. PATRICIA BRADY A.H.S 1, 2, 3, 4; A.A.A. 1, 2. 3, 4; Annual Staff 4; School Paper Staff 3, 4; Librarian 2, 4; Jr.-Sr. Play Crew 3, 4; G.A.A. 1. 2, 3, -1; Chorus 1, 2; Gitta Sereny 1, 2, 3, 4; Teen-Y 1, 2; Tn-Hi-Y 3, 4. Among Pat ' s pet peeves are people who have no pa- tience with others ' faults. Her spare moments are spent reading and writing letters. A certain navy camp is prob- ably involved in this pastime. We are sure that she will realize her ambition of getting something worth while out of life. JUDITH BROWN A.H.S. 1, 2 3, 4; A.A.A. 1, 2, 3, 4: Librarian 4; Jr.-Sr. Play Crew 3: Jr.-Sr. Play Cast 4; Gitta Sereny 1, 2, 3, 4; Teen-Y 1, 2; Tri-Hi-Y 3, 1. Judy enjoys dancing and listening to Stan Kenton. She has been an enthusiastic supporter at all football and bas- ketball games. Her desire is to become an airline hostess Maybe this is because certain boys keep her in the clouds. STEVEN BUTLER A.H.S. 1, 2, 3, 4; A.A.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; A.A.A. President 4; Class Officer 1; School Paper Staff 4; Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 1, 2, 3. 4; Lettermen ' s Club 2, 3, 4; Noon League 1; Gitta Sereny 1, 2, 3; Hi-Y 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y Vice President 3; Hi-Y President 4; Junior Rotarian 4. Steve is one of those boys who are in on everything. He has been popular with everyone, especially the girls. He is equally adept at football, basketball, and track and will certainly be missed in the field of sports. SHARON COCHRAN A.H.S. 1. 2. 3. 4; A.A.A. 1, 2. 3, 4; School Paper Staff 4; G.A.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Chorus 4; Gitta Sereny 1, 2, 3; Teen-Y 1, 2; Tn-Hi-Y 3, 4.

Junior is Auburn ' s pride and joy as a football player. He has been on several all-conference teams, and this year he was chosen as a guard on one of the all-state teams. He is the outdoor type and enjoys hunting and fishing. BYRON FAHNESTOCK A.H.S. 1, 2, 3; A.A.A. 1, 2, 3. Byron was among seven boys who were drafted imo the army combat service in 1943. He has taken the G.E.D. test and will graduate with us this year. Page 15 DAVID FEAGLER David ' s popularity has been due to his laugh-provokina antics which have sent many a class room into hystenc. His scholastic ability will be a great asset in his study ol medicine at Duke University. Y A.H.S. 1, 2, 3, 4; A. A.

It was but twelve short years ago when our present graduating class in their gay gingham dresses and short trousers gathered their new school books under their arms and started down the long road of knowledge. All of us remember the obstacles along the hard path: the time we had learning to count, the spelling test we flunked, our first spanking, the trouble we had with the apron we made in home economics, the mixture that exploded in chemistry class, and, last but not least, the struggles with senior economics. N w ' L.jt the day has come when we are to walk up and receive our diplomas. Some- how we wish that we might roll the calendar back to the autumn of ' 39 when we were be- ginning our journey down the avenue of learning. Ahead of us lies a foggy and hazy future. It is up to each one of us to determine whether this diploma we hold is to mark a stopping off place or is to represent the beginning of a newer and fuller life.

Jim Reynolds Art Editor __ Richard Predmore Advertising Mgr., Peter Fribley Cdiiailal In September of 1947, seventy-four freshmen enrolled in the Auburn High School. After four years of patient instruction under competent supervision, we find ourselves the senior class of 1951. The past four years have presented many problems to each of us, and many more will confront us in the future. Regardless of whether we continue our education in higher institutions of learning or enter occupational fields of our choosing, we are better prepared to gualify for either alternative by our training of the past four years. We extend our sincere thanks to the A.H.S. faculty. Since late October the annual staff has worked many long hours to bring you an interesting resume of all high school activities for the 1950-51 school year. It is with great pride we present the Follies of 1951. At times the task looked frightening, but with full support of our sponsors, our advertisers, our engraver, our printer, and the untiring efforts of the staff, we were always able to solve our problems. Now our work is done, and the annual has been com- pleted. It has been a pleasant experience for the staff, and we hope it will bring back pleasant memories to you in the future. — Nancy Krueger.

It holds its meetings every first and third Wednesday evenings at 7:30. On November 12-18 this club sent Darrell Bill- ings, Dave Richardson, Carl Murray, Ed Witt- mann, Dave Timberlin, Dale Kuhlman, and Fred Bauer as representatives to the Older Boys ' Con- ference at Elkhart. These boys heard some very interesting discussions on Practical Thinking About Drinking, World Citizenship, and Choosing a Life Mate. The members of the Hi-Y elected very capable officers for the year. They chose Steve Butler, president; Cal Grosscup, vice-president; Jerry Griffith, treasurer; Bill Myers, secretary; and John Garns, chaplain. On April 4, the boys entertained their dates at the annual Hi-Y dance. Calvin Grosscup and Dave Schwartz acted as chairmen. May 2 was the last meeting of Hi-Y for the year. The installation of new officers and the farewell to seniors were the high lights of the meeting. Page 47 Jlte fyutute cMa+ne+nahen.-l atf A ne Uca The national creed of F.H.A. shows just what the club stands for and believes in: To make the future home of America happy and prosperous. The distinguishing colors of the F.H.A. are red and white. The red rose, symbolic of vibrant, glowing health, is the club flower. The club ' s motto is Forward New Horizons. This motto expresses the purpose of the organization — learn- ing to live better today in order that our lives and those of our families may be better tomorrow. The second national F.H.A. convention was held in Kansas City from June 26-30. Betty Lou Campbell was one of the 48 girls from Indiana to attend the convention. Miss Butler also attended. During National F.H.A. Week, November 12- 18, the club sent packages to the World Christmas Festival, attended St. Mark ' s Lutheran church in a body, and decorated an Auburn store window giving the club ' s creed, purpose, and motto. For the Christmas program Edward Wittmann told how Christmas was celebrated in his country, Germany. In January the club enjoyed a Chili supper which was partially paid for by each girl paying the price of her shoe size. The February meeting was a Valentine tea for the mothers of the club members. In the last two years the club sold enough candy, ice cream bars, and plastic towels to buy a new automatic washer and dryer. The officers of the club this year are as fol- lows: president, B. Campbell; vice-president, J. Long; secretary-treasurer, I. Balliet; reporter, L. Shambaugh; historian, M. Purdy; parliamentar- ian, J. Rohm; song leader, S. Rainier; pianist, J.

There were 26 active members this year. The meetings were held once every month. The object of the organization is to develop rural leadership, promote agricul- tural activities in the school and in the county, and to promote scholarship among students of vocational agriculture. A grain judging team composed of Dale Mavis, Kenneth Ort, John Snyder, and Harold Wirts won fifth in the district judging contest at Hunting- ton. As a result the team received a trip to the 4-H Round Up at Purdue University where it won seventh place in the state contest. Dale Mavis was elected a junior leader and at- tended junior leaders ' conference at Indianapolis. The following boys were initiated into the club this year as Greenhands: Richard Brown, Bill Culbertson, Harry Gorrell, George Klinger, Max Peters, Denny Steffen, Eduard Wittmann, and Gordon Wyne. The following Greenhands were initiated Future Farmers: Sam Campbell, Jack Scott, LaVern Sharp, Edgar Smith, Delano Troy- er, Kenneth Myers, and Norman Griffin. The Auburn F.F.A. held a district banguet which was attended by F.F.A. members from 30 Northeastern Indiana F.F.A. clubs. The elected officers are as follows: president, John Snyder; vice-president, Dale Mavis; secre- tary, Kenneth Ort; treasurer, Kenneth Myers; re- porter, Dale Smith; advise r, Mr. Deck. Page 49 7«4e Auhunst eMifk School Band Can you hear the drums? Yes, here comes the Auburn High School band! The band, under the direction of Mr. Kellberg, has been a great success in the halls of A.H.S. Mr. Kellberg entered the band in numerous marching contests. Two of them were the march- ing contest at Warsaw and the District Organiza- tion contest at New Haven. In February the Solo and Ensemble contest was held at Fort Wayne with approximately 50 stu- dents attending. The first division winners then went to the State contest at Indianapolis in March. There were many winners from that contest. On April 1 the band played host to the nation- ally famous Hobart High School band in the Alumni Gym. The band members were then over- night guests of the Auburn band. Besides being in all these outside activities, the band has played in numerous programs at school. It has given many minutes of enjoyment at the football and basketball games. One of the favorite exhibitions at the football games was the Statue of Liberty. Joan Swalley, band sponsor, took the part of the statue while the band played. The band also participated in the Christmas program at the school, and played at the 1951 Commencement exercises. The main object of the band is to raise money for some much needed new uniforms. The mem- bers are working hard to achieve this goal. Due to graduation, the band will lose many of its members. We certainly hope that the band will acquire new members, so it will be able to have another successful year. First row: S. Steward, A. Nugen, P. Lung, M. Schooley, Mr. Kellberg, L. Manon, D.

Oh what a beutiful day when the girls ' chorus rehearsed! Yes, each Tuesday and Thursday morning, one could hear the melodic harmony of the girls ' voices floating through the halls of A.H.S. The chorus, under the direction of Hiss Ruth Daggy, is working very hard for the new robes on which the girls have their hearts set. Many chorus member entered the Solo and En- semble contest at Fort Wayne. Like the band, they had many winners. The Trio and the Triple Trio also entered the contest. In April, Miss Daggy had a musical review based on songs from musical stage plays such as Oklahoma, South Pacific, and many others. During this same month, the chorus held its annual Spring Concert with all the schools partici- pating. The chorus also sang for Baccalaureate and Commencement at the graduation exercises. The chorus has succeeded in becoming a popu- lar group of girls in Auburn. Many of the girls will graduate this year; but we are sure that many more will join the chorus, in order that Miss Daggy will be able to have another successful year. Page 51 Q. A. A. The Girls ' Athletic Association of Auburn High means as much to the girls as basketball and football do to the boys. Many girls participate in G.A.A. It is an after-school organization which requires a lot of time and cooperation, - but it gives the members a chance to show what they really can do when given the opportunity. Some of the many sports they may enter are speedball, softball, archery, bowling, swimming, volleyring, badmin- ton, and shuffleboard. One of the main attractions of G.A.A. is the Volleyball Tournament held every year. This year Auburn was the host school. The schools participating were Angola, Co- lumbia City, Kendallville, and, of course, Auburn. As each school brought two teams, there were approximately 120 girls, teachers, and helpers. The girls and teachers really worked hard to make the day a success. Everyone had a good time and a lot to eat. The theme of the tourney was built around Thanksgiv- ing. There were three courts in use all the time. There were six games played in the morning and six in the after- noon. Lunch was at 12:00 with a program following. Includ- ed in the program were J. Yoquelet, J. Barnhart, C. Hamp- shire, B. Seigel, C. Mitchell, and J. Mavis, leading the singing. The tourney was a big success — especially since Au- burn remained the undefeated champ again this year. The high light of the year was the spring banquet. It was bright because awards for good sportsmanship, the outstanding freshman athlete, the outstanding athlete of the whole school, and next year ' s officers were announced. It was sad because the senior girls looked back over four wonderful years and realized that this was the last time that they would be together with the girls in G.A.A. As the last song was sung, one could see reflected in their faces all the joy, happiness, and good times had by everyone who was a member of this organization. The officers for 1950-51 were Mary Alice Schooley, presi- dent; Virginia Picker, vice president; Alice Romeiser, secre- tary; and Lois Wyne, treasurer. Our faculty sponsor was Miss Van Deursen.

Page 53 lee+t y Teen-Y, composed of freshmen and sophomore girls, elected Joan Copeland, president; Sue Bax- ter, vice-president; Marilyn West, secretary; Myr- na Funke, treasurer; Marsha Minard, sergeant-at- arms; Ann Nugen, chaplain. They chose Mrs. George Baxter and Mrs. Wayne Armstrong as their sponsors for the year. These girls held their meetings the first and third Mondays of each month at 7:30 at the YMCA. On October 4, they sent their officers to Garrett for the annual officers ' meeting. Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y also attended. On December 2, the Teen-Y held its candy sale. The girls also had a paper drive the latter part of the year. As their Christmas project, they sent clothing to the Fort Wayne orphanage. We should all compliment the Teen-Y Club on a job well done and wish it luck in the coming year. First row: J. Myers, B. Roth, M. Chapman, B. Blevins, S. Baxter, M. Minard, J. Copeland, M. Funke, M.

' jawiaal This was the third year for The Devils ' Journal and, as in the past, there were several new additions. A cross- word puzzle page and also a page featuring faculty per- sonalities were added at the beginning of the year. Our school paper was published every two weeks and con- tained an average of ten pages. It cost the readers five cents per copy. The main staff consisted of Charlotta Sellew, editor-in- chief; Jinny Picker, assistant editor; Calvin Hampshire, business manager; Don Johnson, art editor; Jeannette Beers, Peggy Krick, and David Feagler, organization edi- tors; Carolyn Mitchell, gossip editor; Charlotte Treadwell and Diana Messenger, proof readers; Bill Myers, athletic editor; Steve Butler and Richard Predmore, humor editors; Kesler Teter, layout; Lois Wyne, head typist, Becky Lem- ish, head printer; Sally Dragoo, secretary. The faculty sponsor was Miss Dawson. In addition to the main staff, there were many other A.H.S. students who wrote articles regularly for the paper. The staff had its problems but managed to solve them to everyone ' s satisfaction. Many students were thrilled to see their stories, poems, essays, and opinions in print; and each of these contributions made our paper very representative of the entire student body and were the chief factors which brought it success.

Under Miss Daw- son ' s supervision, these girls have learned to find even the most elusive book for any troubled mem- ber of Auburn High. Our librarians have a great responsibility. Not only must they know where each book is, but they must also attend to all books and magazines which are signed out. In addition to all the reference books, our school library has an abundant number of magazines, English dictionaries, foreign dictionaries, maps, and almanacs. As it is with the aid of these books that students get much of their school work, they should be very proud of their school library. First row: M. Schooley, S. Sprott, P Brady, N. Meschberger, J.

Club This is the fourth year for the Gitta Sereny Club, in A.H.S. and again it has met with success. The officers for ' 50- ' 51 were: John Gams, presi- dent; Janet Yoquelet, vice-president; Fred Bauer, secretary; and Jerry Griffith, treasurer. The club members carry on correspondence with boys and girls of other countries. This organi- zation has adopted two schools in Austria. At the beginning of the year, Gitta Sereny members sent two Care packages to their two adopted schools. Later they sponsored a clothing drive for less fortunate children in other countries. They also sent another Care package during the last semester of the year. All the members of this international corre- spondence organization wish to extend their thanks to Miss Carol Dawson who, as sponsor, helped make it such a success. First row: N. Fretz, J. Long, S.

Page 60 MR. YOUNG HUletlc A i iaciation Almost every student in Auburn High School is a mem- ber of the Auburn Athletic Association. The reason is very apparent as the requirements for membership are simple. The club includes members of football, basketball, and track squads, yell leaders, managers of the three sports, band members, and season ticket holders. The AAA. was organized to promote school spirit and to interest more students in the activities of the school. There are frequent pep sessions during the year, and very often Randy and Zeke turn on their charm as public speakers for the benefit of the students. The student body chose Steve Butler as president of the Athletic Association and Mary Alice Schooley as sec- retary. Harold Hayden and Jim Reynolds served in the capacity of football manager and statistician. Don Kelly was manager of the 50 track squad, Buck Hampshire and LaVern Sharp were the basketball man- ager and statistician, respectively. Carolyn Mitchell, Rebecca Lemish, and Barbara Blevins were elected as yell leaders for the 50 and 51 sports seasons. They were very successful in bringing out the enthusiasm of the student body.

' ■ ' QootUU 1950 Zeke Young ' s 27th season as coach of the Au- burn Red Devils started on a hot August 15, when 60 boys turned out for the first practice. Practices were held from 8:30 to 10:30 in the mornings and 5:30 to 7:30 in the evenings. Zeke was very ably assisted by Coach Randy Lawson and Gerald Weiler, who is the A.H.S. shop instructor. Among the returning lettermen were Steve But- ler, Charles Derrow, John Gams, Jerry Griffith, Max Grogg, Cal Grosscup, Paul Hathaway, Dave Michael, Richard Predmore, Dave Richardson, Jack Scott, LaVern Sharp, and Dave Timberlin. Around these boys Mr. Young built his fifth con- secutive conference championship team. The po- sition of little honor and much work, that of man- ager, was very capably filled by Harold Hayden. Jim Reynolds acted in capacity of statistician and spotter. The Red Devils showed promise of a powerful football machine in their opener on September 8 against Decatur. The Red Devils pushed across a touchdown in each guarter and defeated Deca- tur 27-6. Decatur succeeded in getting a touch- down in the last guarter. Lyle Stemen accounted for three of the four Auburn touchdowns while the fourth was scored by a pass from Jerry Griffith to big Cal Grosscup. Auburn just squeezed by New Haven with a score of 12-6. Both New Haven and Auburn had a touchdown nullified and time ran out as New Haven was desperately trying to score from in- side Auburn ' s 10 yard stripe. The defensive play of the Auburn line was the outstanding factor of success for the Red Devils. Paul Hathaway and Jerry Griffith scored the two Auburn touchdowns. The game at Bluffton proved to be a sorry day for the Red Devils as Bluffton upset the Auburn applecart 12-9 as a last quarter desperation drive fell short of the Bluffton goal by about one foot. It was the first time in twelve years that Bluffton had been able to eke out a win over Auburn. Paul Hathaway went over for the lone Auburn score. The highly touted Hartford City Airedales came to town on September 29, and the Red Devils promptly showed them that Auburn was no push- over. The Airedales managed to carry home a 14-12 victory but had to play all-out ball to do it. The Airedales had been unscored upon until Paul Hathaway and Cal Grosscup crossed their goal. Auburn downed the Concordia Cadets 25-19 in a see-saw scoring battle that saw many long runs and a wide open brand of ball that the fans love to see. Grosscup scored twice, and Hatha- way and Griffith each once to round out Auburn ' s scoring. The Red Devils ground out single touchdowns in each of the second, third, and fourth quarters to down the Columbia City Eagles 21-13. Auburn started the second half with a 13-7 deficit but fought its way from behind to win the much covet- ed victory over the Eagles. Stemen, Timberlin, and Michael accounted for the three Auburn scores, First row: C. Grosscup, J. Scott, L. Stemen, J. Capen, H. Hayden, P. Hathaway, L, Sharp, S. Campbell, C. Derrow, R.

The Warsaw Tigers received a surprise when the Auburn eleven struck hard and fast to knock them out of first place in the N.E.I.C. and throw the conference into a three-way tie. The Auburn line again demonstrated its uncanny defensive play that was a thorn in Warsaw ' s side all eve- ning. Hathaway and Timberlin bagged one apiece, and Grosscup a pair for a 27-0 victory. The Auburn Red Devils won a share of the N.E.I.C. crown by drubbing the Garrett Railroad- ers 54-12. Almost everyone scored but the water boy as Hathaway accounted for two touchdowns, and Michael, Grosscup, Delegrange, Timberlin, Butler, and Stemen all crossed the Railroader goal. Auburn ended its season with a 25-6 victory over the Royerton Redbirds. Three of the Auburn scores were pushed across in the last quarter, and the game was closer than the final score indicates. Griffith, Michael, Stemen, and Grosscup scored the Red Devils ' touchdowns. The year ' s football season showed seven vic- tories and two defeats. Auburn for the fifth con- secutive year obtained a share of the N.E.I.C. championship. When the All Conference teams were chosen, Charles Derrow and Calvin Hampshire were giv- en first team honors. Grosscup, Wirts, and Hatha- way were placed on the second team. Butler, Gams, and Griffith received honorable mention. On November 16, the much coveted football awards were presented to the football players earning them. Those receiving letter awards were Cal Grosscup, Jack Scott, Bob Delegrange, La- Vern Knisely, Don Johnson, Max Grogg, Fred Bauer, Harry Gorrell, Jim Capen, Dave Timberlin, David Michael, LaVern Sharp, Dwight Morris, and Harold Hayden received a manager ' s letter. The following seniors received silver footballs as senior awards: Steve Butler, John Gams, Paul Hathaway, Bob Riddle, Jerry Griffith, Charles Derrow, Calvin Hampshire, Harold Wirts, Lyle Stemen, John Snyder, Pete Fribley, Dave Richard- son, Dick Predmore, and David Feagler.

Elimination Basketball Tourney. The fighting Red Devils carried Auburn ' s colors to the final game of the Kokomo Semi-Finals before being eliminated by the Muncie Central Bearcats. The Auburnites showed a knack of winning the tough games and losing the easy ones all season long. They showed this trait right down to the wire when in the Kokomo Semi-Finals they upset the favored Marion Giants in the afternoon tilt only to lose in the final frame to Muncie Central. When preliminary practices were over and the final cuts had been made, the ten varsity berths were filled by Calvin Grosscup, John Gams, Steve Butler, Paul Hatha- way, Jerry Griiffith, William Myers, Jerry Blevins, David Michael, Lyle Stemen, and Robert Seigel. An injury kept Jerry Blevins out of the final games, and Bob Seigel chose to quit before the season ended. Robert Delegrange and James Capen were moved up from the Imps to fill these spots during the final 12 games of the season which in- cluded the eight tournament games. Buck Hampshire was chosen student manager, and LaVern Sharp was selected as statistician. The Red Devils gave warning of things to come when they opened the season with a smashing victory over the Ashley Aces. The final score read 71-55 and was a heart warming victory as Ashley was considered the power- house of the DeKalb county quintets. The Butler Windmills next felt the horns of the Auburn Red Devils, falling before the Red Black onslaught 64- 43. Concordia also proved an easy mark as Auburn romp- ed over the Cadets 63-35. The Red Devils racked up their fourth consecutive vic- tory by whipping the South Side Archers 54-48. In the first conference game of the season, the New Haven Bull- dogs pulled a surprise stall from their bag of tricks and upset the Red Devils 21-17. The following night the North Side Red Skins capitalized on Auburn ' s frustration and eked out a one point victory over the Auburn five 44-43. Auburn climbed back into the victory column by turn- ing back the Garrett Railroaders 69-43. The Hartford City Airedales faltered in the final stages of the following game, and the Red Devils came home on the long end of a 61-54 score. In the annual holiday tourney, which was held this year at Auburn, the Red Devils defeated the Kendallville Com- ets 56-52 in the afternoon tilt before being upset in the final game by the Nappanee Bulldogs 48-46. The Red Devils started the New Year out right by drop- ping the Angola Hornets 43-35. They then displayed an unbeatable brand of basketball as they outclassed the highly touted Elkhart Blue Blazers 51-49. The Kendallville Comets avenged their earlier holiday tourney defeat by edging the Red Devils 38-37. The War- saw Tigers failed to dent the Auburn attack, but went down fighting 65-55. The Decatur Yellow Jackets met the Page 70 1950-51 same fate 67-54. This victory, however, proved a costly one as ferry Blevins dislocated his shoulder and was un- able to play for the remainder of the season. Do it for Blevins became the Auburn war cry, and on the night following Jerry ' s accident, cm Auburn team beat the Mish- awaka Cavemen for the first time in history. The final score was 49-47. The Columbia City Eagles, who knocked Auburn out of the conference race last year , felt the wrath of ven- geance as they fell before a 71-37 onslaught. The Red Devils met the Fort Wayne Central Tigers on one of those nights when they just couldn ' t buy a basket and fell in defeat 56-48. Auburn then slipped by the Wab- ash Apaches 49-45 before another of those off nights journeyed along with the Red and Black to Bluff ton. When the smoke cleared, Bluffton had destroyed all hope of Auburn ' s winning the Conference by cutting down the Auburn Red Devils 48-44 in the final game of the season. Auburn breezed through its own sectional tourney, defeating Ashley 94-50, Fremont, 58-50, Orland 83-38, and Spencerville 61-43 to advance to the Fort Wayne Region- al. Here they were paired with the Central Tigers in the first game of the day. The Red Devils avenged an earlier season defeat by out-rebounding, out-driving, and out- shooting the Central congregation 50-45. In the evening tilt, Auburn out-scored the Decatur Yellow Jackets 76-61 to advance to the Kokomo Semi-Finals for the third con- secutive year. Here the Red Devils met the Marion Giants who had eliminated them last year in the Semi-Finals. Auburn quickly avenged this defeat by upsetting the fa- vored Giants 57-41. In the evening frame the Red Devils failed to play the brand of ball they had been displaying and were eliminated by the Muncie Central Bearcats 53- 39. Before the Red Devils were eliminated, however, they advanced the second farthest of any Auburn basketball team in the I.H.S.A.A. Basketball Tourney. One more game would have tied the 1949 team ' s record. Auburn placed Cal Grosscup on the N.E.I.C. All-Star first team and Bill Myers and Steve Butler on the second team. Cal was elected to the number one spot on the first team and Bill received more votes than any other mem- ber of the second team. Cal Grosscup, B ill Myers, and Steve Butler were placed on the All-Regional first team, and Paul Hathaway and John Gams were placed on the second team. On the All-Semi-Final team Cal Grosscup was placed on a first team by three sports writers, Bill Myers by two, and Steve Butler by one. When Bill and Steve were not chosen for first team honors, they were placed on the second five. On April 13 the basketball awards were presented by Coach Lawson at an assembly of the student body. Those seniors receiving letter blankets were Jerry Blevins, John Gams, Jerry Griffith, Bill Myers, Lyle Stemen, Paul Hath- away, and Steve Butler. The following underclassmen re- ceived letter awards: Cal Grosscup, Bob Delegrange, Dave Michael, and James Capen. Calvin Hampshire re- ceived a manager ' s letter. Page 71 First row: G. Grate, L.

This year ' s reserve team was one of the best Auburn has ever had. Ask the opposition if you have any doubts. The Imps started the season in a ball of fire, rolling up five consecutive wins before tasting defeat. They defeated the Ashley Deuces 48-36 on their home court before traveling to Butler and Concordia to top the Butler Injuns 48-32 and down the Concordia Reserves 46-31. Coming back home, the Imps defeated South Side 34-18 and then journeyed to New Haven to trounce the Bullpups 34-14. The North Side Papooses handed the Imps their first defeat 36-33, but the Auburn Reserves drop- ped the Garrett Handcars 44-21 and the Hartford City Pups 43-28 to start a new string of victories. The Imps breezed past the Angola Bees 40-25 and then took a close one from the Elkhart Re- serves 26-22. The Imps defeated the Kendallville Meteors 39-28 and drubbed the Warsaw Cubs 34-25 before traveling to Logansport to participate in a blind tourney. They breezed past Flora in the afternoon but fell before Logansport ' s Reserves in the finals 36-33. This defeat snapped a seven-game winning streak. The Imps drubbed the Decatur Reserves 50-29 and trounced the Mishawaka Caveboys 59-25 in their next two games. The Auburn Reserves dropped the Columbia City Reserves 37-24 before suffering their final defeat at the hands of the Central Tiger Cubs 34-30. In their final two games the Imps defeated the Wabash Papooses 34-31 and the Bluffton Tiger Cubs 49-24. Page 72 ft ifv y£4 J. Seigel, J. Kleeman D. Schwartz, R. Predmore, J. Wappes, J. Goings, E. Fox. M aan Noon League was organized to provide intra- mural basketball for those boys who care to par- ticipate. It is under the supervision of Coach Zeke Young. Early in November the captains were selected by Zeke, and the teams were chosen. The following boys were chosen as captains: John Snyder, lack Scott, Richard Predmore, David Timberlin, Max Grogg, and Calvin Hampshire. Richard Predmore picked up David Feagler along the way as coach and went on to win the cham- pionship. The games provided entertainment for all the students as well as furnishing recreation for the boys. eacfue The members of the championship team were Richard Predmore, captain, Jack Wappes, John Kleeman, James Seigel, Dave Swartz, Spanky Fox, Harry Hoham, and John Goings.

Tiook 1950 MM 4h On March 20, 1950, 57 candidates answered Zeke Young ' s annual call for prospects to make up his 1950 track squad. Rain and floods kept the Auburn hopefuls off the track, and practices were held in the gym. Without ever practicing on a track, the Red Devils trav- eled to Kendallville and handed the Comets a 76 1 3 to 32% shellacking. The Red and Black victory came as a result of 10 blue ribbons and a tie for an llth one. The Youngmen nosed out the Butler Windmills 57-52 in their second dual meet of the year. Auburn needed only one of the relay events to stay out in front. They got both but were disqualified in the half-mile relay to allow Butler to come closer. The Auburn Red Devils breezed through a 76-47 victory over the Concordia Cadets. The Red Devils eked out nine blue ribbons to substantiate their margin of victory. The Red Devils carried the Red and Black to the annual Goshen Relays and came home with a third place in some of the toughest competition in the state. Muncie Burris and Columbia City were the two schools that topped Auburn ' s performance. Auburn quickly tasted the sweetness of victory again by outclassing the Garrett Railroaders 81 V2 t° 35V2 i- n a dual meet held at Earl Carr Memorial Field. The Young- men scored firsts in all but one event to build up their huge margin of victory. For the second year in a row, Auburn was nosed out of first place in the Kokomo Relays. Warsaw beat Auburn in the final event to carry away first laurels. However, the Red Devils put on a showing of which their school can well be proud. The Auburn Red Devils again settled for second best in the North Eastern Indiana Conference as Columbia City copped first place on its own track. A victory in the last event could have thrown the meet to Auburn, but Columbia City won that event and took home the beauti- ful trophy. Blevins and Michael placed in the sectional and quali- fied to compete in the regional, but here the competition proved too much for them to qualify for state honors. On May 18, 1950, the following boys received letter awards: Barnell Beers, Jerry Blevins, Steve Butler, John Goings, Jerry Griffith, Dick Lochner, Dave Michael, Ted Miller, Richard Predmore, Larry Refner, Jack Scott, Robert Seigel, Lyle Stemen, Roger Wertenberger, and Don Kelly, manager. Max Reynolds, Barnell Beers, Dick Lochner, Ted Miller, Larry Refner, and Roger Wertenberger receiv- ed silver track shoes as senior awards for their participa- tion on the track team.

Day after yesterday, lOsomething Priceless NOTORIOUS GANG CAUGHT RED-HANDED! Blood Flows in Thrilling Round-Up of Arch-Killers AUBURN— The Auburn Po- lice Detective department today reported a successful capture of our fair metropolis ' most notor- ious and feared gang of crim- inals. The picture at the right, snapped by our candid camera, shows the four arch-criminals leaving the scene of their das- tardly crime with the spoils of war. These public enemies No. 6923, 1037%, and 6% entered the Junction ' s Jentlemen ' s Bank, which has a capital of $49.95, at approximately 4:10 PDQ (CST) and left in due time with the enormous sum of $2.42% and two blank checks. They left a powerful sedan at the curb with the motor running and nuts and bolts dropping from the engine from time to time. The killers, identified as Guns Gams, Lucky Butler, and Jab Blevins, were chased by Sheriff Peanut Schwartz. Gritty Sands, king of Salem Center ' s underworld and leader of this gang, was killed. The king is dead. Long live the king! j These well known members of the underworld, after terroriz- ing the bank tellers with loaded water pistols, were captured by the alert (?) police force who immediately set the cogs of or- ganized protection in motion. Guns and Lucky were cap- 1 tured, but Jab escaped with blood dropping from his finger where he was stuck with a sliver while leaning on the counter. It is believed that Jab may have gone to the underworld hide-out of his gun molls, Brownie and Birdie, Tick ' s Pilsner Parlor. V 1 v t .lab Blevins, (Jims Gams, Lucky Butler, and Peanuts Swartz.

AUBURN— Numerous reports received by the Auburn night patrol indicate strange visitors to Urban Avenue. License num- bers 95, 165, 903, 701, and 355 are among the suspects. Regard- ed as the most dangerous is the red Ford bearing the number 701 from which, the eavesdrop- ping patrol stated, issued de- scriptions of assorted pistol and rifle calibers, muzzle velocities, etc. The other suspected autos were silent, possibly indicating even more evil doings. CORRECTION In the last edition of The Blade we made the statement: Auburn High School owes its high standards of education to its inefficient teaching force. Of course, we meant . . . its efficient teaching farce. LESSONS IN THE ANCIENT ESKIMO ART OF NOSE RUBBING Professors Apples Hayden and Pat Brady Phone O-U-2 Timer THIS BLANK SPACE is a representation of the minds of those unfortunate Seniors in the first period Civics class. THE BLADE PREVIOUSLY CLOSED CASE IS SOLVED BY FAMOUS CHEMIST The Auburn Police announced today that a highly involved case which has baffled our fair city for two years w r as unraveled and cleverly brought to light by Doc- tor Frederick Bauer, D.D.T., P.D.Q., yesterday. On the dismal, foggy morning of March 6, 1950, a terribly man- gled body was discovered on the junction railroad tracks by Emmet Sharp, one of Au- burn ' s noted big game hunters. The job of identification was immediately undertaken by the Grosscup, Haggarty Magoo Detective Agency, well known for its undying perseverence. Though they worked diligently night and day for 18 months, they made virtually no headway and finally gave up without even determining whether it was male or female, let alone who the disfigured corpse was. After a lapse of six months, that eminent scientist and friend of the working girl, Frederick Bauer, tackled the task with his usual untiring vigor, and, in Doc Rose ' s modern laboratory and with the help of his able as- sistant, Miss Butler, pathologi- cal history was made when his shrewd analysis concluded that the body was undoubtedly a discarded batch of waffle batter from the westbound B. 0. train. MANAGER Jim Reynolds of the Kort Theatre announces that he has been able to secure the Siegfield Follies. This will in- terest Auburnites, for the Misses Birdie Sprott, Chattanooga Chapman, and Osculating Ott are members of this company. FEEL FIT FOR A FUNERAL PARLOR? Lack Vitamins P, Arsenic, Steel?

Doctors Swalley and Schaab have, after much research, compiled this exam to test your knowl- edge. The time allotted for each question is in the parenthesis preceding it. The score rating is as follows : Count ten for each answer correct. If your score is 150 you are a genius, e.g., each Soph belongs to the canine genius, a la biology. If your score is 140, you are superior, and belong to the group known as Seniors, upon whose ability the world runs. If your score is 120, you are an average American of normal intelligence ; that is, there are just as many smarter than you as there are dumber. If your score is 100 you are below normal — like Cal ' s car. If your score is 90 you are a moron I love her moron more each day. e.g., If your score is 70 or under, you are an idiot, and will eat your lunch in a car when the tem- perature is zero.
