Its purpose is not to remind one of the hard realism and frightening insecurity of today, but, on the contrary, to bring to one ' s mind the pleasant memories of high school life in the same way that medieval days bring about imaginative thoughts of the past. From the high and important position of the administration and faculty, pictured in this year ' s book as the kings, the counts, and the lords, down to the underclassmen, portrayed as pages, and the ever hopeless jesters, we have tried to mould our school system into the likeness of a medieval court. May this book many times become a part of your life ' s enjoyment. Page 6 Msmm Kings MR. HUSSELMAN Mr. Husselman ' s long term on the school board has required patience and stability as well as executive ability. His nine years as president of the board mark a sizable contribution to the welfare of his community. Because Mr. Husselman applies the same able manage- ment to his school duties that is devoted to his succesful business, Auburn ' s school board is cm influential and efficient organization. MR. SHOOK Mr. Shook is winding up his third year as an effec- tive member of the school board. A friendly and jo- vial part of the school scene, Mr. Shook takes his duties seriously and can always be depended upon to handle the job efficient- ly. Influenced, no doubt, by his four daughters, Mr. Shook understands the workings of the juvenile mind and puts his knowl- edge to good use. MR. CLOSE Mr. Close was appointed to the Auburn City school board in August, 1951, and soon will have finished his first term of service. Mr. Close has had ample experience with young people since he has four children of his own. This gives him insight into the problems and difficulties of students. Besides being an expert with an outboard motor on liamilton Lake and a successful businessman, Mr. Close is a capable addition to our school board. Page 8 (EnttBula MR. McKENNEY Mr. McKenney has completed his 28ih year of service to the Auburn school system as its earnest and loyal superintendent. Mr. McKenney is the school official we all remember from our very earliest learning experiences as we caught glimpses of him flitting back and forth among Auburn ' s five schools, guiding his many charges. He will be remembered by his graduates for acts of thoughtfulness to all. MR. MILLER Mr. Miller is Auburn High ' s ever busy principal. But in spite of his crowded sched- ule, he is always willing to help solve any student prob- lem from a lost subject to a missing mitten; what ' s more, he is well known for his fair- ness in dealing with all kinds of disputes. Under Mr. Mil- ler ' s capable management, AHS is a well organized and efficiently run organization. MRS. EMMA REEDER Emma ' s official position is that of secretary to Mr. Miller, but her responsibilities cover a wide field. They range from disciplining cm occasion- al assembly to quieting an irate ticket buyer. As we all learned in our junior high days, Emrna is a strict but effective helper. MRS. CARMA-JEAN ECKERT Carma, whose pleasing voice has brightened many student hours, is Mr. McKenney ' s recep- tionist. Her efficiency and willingness have straightened out more than a few confused pupils. Carma ' s presence in the front office is a comfort to members of AHS, for they know she has their interests at heart. Page 9 iitntst rH MR. JOHN W. ROSE A.B., M.S.

Donald Mavis Business Manager Kesler Teter Art Editor Janet Yoquelet Advertising Manager James Maier Once again it has been the desire of the senior class to publish an annual, this time the Follies of 1952. This book represents many hours of concen- trated effort to develop and assemble ideas of the staff members and to organize them into a unified theme. It has been possible through the enthusiastic cooperation and prompt work of the staff members and the patient guidance of the sponsors as well as the fine work of the companies which did the engraving, printing, and binding. Mr. Miller and Miss Dawson, as sponsors, gave many hours from their already crowded schedules to the common cause of the year- book. Their experience in annual work has been most helpful to the Follies ' editor and staff. The Fort Wayne Engraving Company through its congenial representative, Mr. Thom- as Broom, supervised the arrangement of our pictures and art work for clear effectiveness, thus adding to the eye-appeal of the book. Aided by a wide selection of colors and de- signs and the experienced suggestions of Mr. Jack Bundy, the salesman of the S. K. Smith Company, we selected a cover beautiful in appearance and approriate to the theme. During recent years of Follies ' history, the Heckman Bindery has done a very satisfactory job in carefully and professionally binding the pages of the annual together. This year was no exception. And what would a yearbook be without pictures? Davis Studio has very painstakingly provided this feature for the Follies of 1952. The special interest shown by our local Auburn Printing Company was again evident as the pages rolled off the press allowing plenty of time for binding so that the book could be distributed before the school year of 1952 came to a close. Particular thanks go to Doris Bartels and Kathrian Clouse, who were not elected mem- bers of the staff, but who did some special writ- ing in an excellent fashion. Of course, none of the above mentioned jobs and processes could have been even started without the faithful purchase of advertising space by the local business men and their firms. Without their generous support, sufficient funds could not be raised to publish on annual. As a result of all these efforts here is the Follies of 1952, excellently composed by many, and so, dear reader, renew your mem- ories with us often, won ' t you? — Virginia Picker Page 46 r Organization Editor Sally Draggoo | A Assistant Advertising Editor Dale Kuhlman m . — .

(Urt-lt-f Tri-Hi-Y, a service and self improvement club, is spon- sored by the Y.M.C.A. and the high school, and is compos- ed of girls from the junior and senior classes. Its meetings are held every other Wednesday of each month. The officers for this year were Beverly Blevins, president Janet Yoquelet, vice president; Sally Draggoo, secretary, Sharon Smith, treasurer, Alice Romeiser, sergeant-at-arms, and Mary Helmuth, chaplain. Miss Wood, the club adviser and Mrs. Holdeman, the Y adviser, have been a great help in solving problems and furthering activities this year. Beverly Blevins represented the Auburn club at the Hi-Y- Tri-Hi-Y Convention at Cleveland in June where she ac- quired much worthwhile information about leadership. In July five girls attended Hi-Y-Tri-Hi-Y training camp at Delphi, Indiana. These representatives were Beverly Blev- ins, Janet Yoquelet, Alice Romeiser, Mary Helmuth, and Mary Gengnagel. There they learned the duties and re- sponsibilities of officers, and program planning for the coming year, as well as many other useful things. Beverly Blevins, Janet Yoquelet, Sally Draggoo, Sharon Smith, Mary Helmuth, Mrs. Clair Blevins, and Mrs. Holde- man attended the fall district conference at Butler on Octo- ber 3. Here they were given an arousing talk by Mr. J. B. Duff, State Y.M.C.A. Secretary. As a part of their program of service, some members of the Tri-Hi-Y club distributed Y.M.C.A. campaign posters. A donation of five dollars to the March of Dimes and five dollars for the Red Cross also was made by the organiza- tion. Ai Easter time the girls decorated eggs and sent them to a hospital. During the year the club sponsored two dances, one on January 15 and the other on March 31. Two very interest- ing panel discussions were held, one with the Hi-Y in January and one with the Teen-Y in February. Also it had some interesting and worthwhile speakers, among whom were Mr. Lawson and Mrs. Overmeyer. As in the past, this year ' s Tri-Hi-Y has had many activ- ities and worthwhile achievements of which they can be very proud. Page 48 B-i The Hi-Y club members are sophomore, junior, ctnd senior boys. During the past year they have had many interesting meetings and were enter- tained by guest speakers, movies, and discussion groups. The officers elected w ere David Schooley, pres- ident; John Manon, vice president; Calvin Gross- cup, secretary; Fred Bauer, treasurer; and Don Johnson, chaplain. Mr. Weathers is the faculty sponsor and Mr. Holdeman the Y sponsor. On October 16, an initiation dance was held at which the boys entertained their girl friends. John Manon, David Schooley, John Goings, Don Mavis, and Fred Bauer attended the fall district conference at Butler, Interesting programs of the Hi-Y this year in- cluded educational talks by a state trooper, an F.B.I, agent, a representative factory foreman, a minister, and a doctor. A joint forum of Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y, and a party rounded out the meetings. Through these activities, formulated by efficient committees, Hi-Y has maintained its motto: To create, to maintain, and to extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character.

With the money they buy eguipment for the school kitchen. They have sent three clothing packages and two shoe packages through the World Christmas Festival Organization to the needy people of Korea, Hol- land, Germany, and the American Indians. They have sent seventeen pounds of individual gifts to children of Europe. The club meets once a month. They have dis- cussions, songs, and recreation. In May the club has a formal banquet.

They elected Kathrian Clouse as their president and, under her excellent leadership, have been successful in several proj- ects. The first event was a box social sponsored by the chorus; other affairs planned were a bake sale and an Easter egg sale. The first public appearance of the chorus was at the Christmas program which was given to- gether with the speech and band departments. The annual spring concert was held April 4 and, as usual, the chorus sang for Baccalaureate and Commencement. The triple trio was organized this year with Vir- ginia Lewis, Barbara Gunckel, Kathrian Clouse, Barbara Butz, Rebecca Turner, Carolyn Shoudel, Naomi Fretz, Jeanette Beers, and Marcia Close as members. Their first appearance was at the Jun- ior-Senior play. A new trio was formed this year. The members were Sharen Perkins, Carolyn Shoudel, and Carol Hendricks. The trio made several public appear- ances including P.T.A., Culture Club, and the teachers ' Christmas party. As usual, there were several from the chorus who entered the solo contest. The sponsor of the group. Miss Daggy, has had a large chorus membership this year and did a fine job of directing them. We surely hope she will continue her work in Atiburn High School. 1 Page 52 ®I| Auburn Iftglj rljn l laub With an om-pa here and a toot-toot there, we hear the Auburn High School Bond coming down the field. They are clad in new red and gray uni- forms ready to start the 1951 marching season off in high gear and furnish pep for football games. The Auburn High School Band, under the direc- tion of Mr. Kinser, gave a spark of enthusiasm to the spectators during the home football games. They also did a fine job in the band contest which was held here in October, receiving second place. For this improvement the Band Boosters rewarded the members of the band with a hayride. Mr. Kinser, as most of us know by now, has been directing his first year at Auburn. He receiv- ed his education from the University of Arkansas and Indiana University. Mr. Kinser is really build- ing up the band and we are glad for that. He has divided the band into a Cadet Band and a Con- cert Band. The dividing of the band makes it pos- sible to have a better balanced Concert Band, and it gives experience to those in the Cadet Band. Roger Hedges was elected president of the band, with David Schooley assisting as vice pres- ident. Beverly Blevins served as treasurer, Doris Bartels as secretary, Sue Richardson as librarian, and Myrna Burgoyne as assistant librarian. Neal Trout and Ronald Gearhart took care of the property. Besides plcrying for the football games and, through the winter months, at the basketball games, the band joined the chorus and speech classes to present the Christmas program. Further activities on the band ' s schedule for the year included the spring concert and the solo and ensemble contest in February. Our sincerest wish is that Mr . Kinser will have many more years in Auburn which will be as good or even better than this year has been. First row: S. Richardson, W. Feagler, N. Trout D. Schooley, Mr. Kinser, B. Leas, R. Hedges, B.

The officers were: Fred Bauer, president; Joan Copeland, vice president; Denny Blickenstaff, secretary; and Alice Romeiser, treasurer. Since the adoption of two Austrian schools by this group, each member writes at least two let- ters a year to students overseas. Dues are one dollar per year. With this fund, members send three Care packages a year. In addition, during the second semester, the club sponsors a clothing drive. Each year from six to ten bags of clothing have been sent to various war-torn areas of the world. A pencil drive was sponsored by the club. The pencils were contributed by students of A.H.S. They were sent to a school in Syria, which was in desperate need of them. Much has been accomplished toward showing students abroad the success of our democracy. They truly need our help. All members of this organization wish to thank the sponsor. Miss Duguid, for her guidance, which has been very helpful. Page 54 A (Eunitrrttrut fank r ttt King Artljur b dnurt On November 2 ctnd 3 the comedy, A Connect- icut Yankee in King Arthur ' s Court, was present- ed by Miss Thelma Lewerenz with the help of the student director, Virginia Picker. This was Miss Lewerenz ' s third presentation in Auburn, and the production was up to her usual standard. A large audience of 417 attended the two performances. Both the cast and the crews, which consisted of makeup: Fanny Cox, Helen Quance, Pat Arm- strong, and Joan Myers; costumes: Donald John- son, Nancy Klink, and Miss Helen Butler; proper- ties: Marsha Minard and Marilyn West; stage: Donald Mavis and Jack Strauss; and business manager. Jack Covell, did a splendid job. Musical entertainment between acts was provided by a trio and a triple trio of vocalists under the direc- tion of Miss Ruth Daggy. The story of the play dealt with the adventures of a Yankee from Connecticut who finds himself thrown back into the Middle Ages by one of his experiments. He cannot believe it at first, thinking he is in an insane asylum. But he is soon convinc- ed that he is actually faced with a death sentence handed down by King Arthur. By predicting an eclipse of the sun, he saves his skin and immedi- ately becomes the idol of the kingdom. His power becomes so great that Merlin, court magician, with several others, plots against him. The Con- necticut Yankee, however, builds up a complete twentieth century industry in short order, and keeps the knights completely baffled by his magic. The Yankee constantly finds himself in hot water. But all ' s well that ends well, and The Connecticut Yankee is no exception. THE CAST Hank Bennett _ - - Don Souder Marion Ann Nugen Ivlrs.

The second week of school you could see the girls going down to the field to play the exciting, rough game of speedball. After the weather turned chilly, the girls played volleyball. Two teams were chosen to represent Auburn at the K ' ville playday. The girls easily beat Warsaw and Goshen with some scores like 85 to 5, but K ' ville really gave Auburn a rough time. The girls managed to beat one of K ' ville ' s teams by a good margin, but they were beaten by two points in the last game. Consequently K ' ville and Auburn had to share the championship honors. All the girls put forth a lot of pep and energy for the game of games, basketball. Many of the girls turned out for Mon- day bowling and swimming on Wednesday at the Y.M.C.A. Shuffleboard and badminton were next on the schedule. As spring rounded the corner, the girls were seen playing baseball. These are the sports that G.A.A. offers to all girls in Auburn high school. The club offers every girl fellowship, sportsmanship, a chance to develop her skills in games, and plenty of fun. G.A.A. means a lot to all the girls who belong. One of the most anticipated social events of the club was the spring banquet. At this time the annual awards are presented to the outstanding freshman athlete, the outstanding athelete of the whole club, the girl showing the best sportsmanship, and highest of all, the state plaques which are given to all girls who earn at least 350 points during their four years in high school. The new officers for the next year were announced. For the seniors it meant a lot more. It was the last time they would all be together with the G.A.A. gang. The officers for 1951-52 were A. Romeiser, president; M. Gengnagel, vice president; M. West, secretary; and S. Smith, treasurer. The Auburn G.A.A. would like to thank Miss Van Deur- sen for being one of the best faculty sponsors that a club could ever be lucky enough to have. Page 56 ICrtt rmrn (Elub Members of the Lettermen ' s Club are the boys who won their letters in the previous year ' s track season, the cheer- leaders, and the football and basketball lettermen of the current year. The senior lettermen receive special awards of silver footballs, track shoes, and basketball letter blankets. Track awards were presented to the 1951 team on May 15, 1951. Tom Reynolds, Sam Campbell, Jack Covell, Gerald Grate, Pete Muzzillo, Don Souder, and Brad Webb were the underclassmen whose performances in track won their admission to the club with their first letter awards and chevrons. David Feagler earned his letter for his work as manager of the team. Silver track shoes and chevrons went to Auburn High ' s senior track stars: Jerry Blevins, Steve Butler, Pete Fribley, and Jerry Griffith. The other track chevrons went to Jim Capen, Bob Delagrange, John Goings, Harry Gorrell, Cal Grosscup, LaVern Knisely, David Michael and David Timberlin. The football team was honored on December 19, 1951, when the following boys received their first letters and chevrons: Ed Aschliman, Denny Blickenstaff, Jack Cassel- man, Donn DeCoursey, Bob Hathaway, Harold Hayden. Dave Mclnturf, and Hugh Squires. John Manon received one of the prized As for his work as football manager. The members of the Class of ' 52 earning their silver foot- balls and chevrons were: Fred Bauer, Denny Blickenstaff, Sam Campbell, Donn DeCoursey, Max Grogg, Cal Gross- cup, Harold Hayden, Dave Michael, Dwight Morris, LaVern Sharp, Hugh Squires, and Dave Timberlin. The underclass- men who were already members of the club, but who were presented chevrons, were: Jim Capen, Bob Delagrange, Harry Gorrell, Don Johnson, LaVern Knisely, Pete Muzzillo, Tom Reynolds, Don Souder, and Butch Webb. Jim Capen, Bob Delagrange, Pete Muzzillo, Tom Rey- nolds, and Brad Webb were members of the basketball squad who acquired their chevrons. Larry Hinschlager and Aubrey Myers received both a chevron and a letter, since these awards made them members of the club for the first tine. Team manager LaVern Sharp also was re- warded with a letter. One senior, Cal Grosscup, attained his basketball chevron, plus letter blanket. The cheer leaders, who followed the basketball and football teams faithfully through both seasons, were Dave Schwartz, Barbara Potter, and Helen Quance. Their en- deavor was recognized with yell letters. First row: L. Knisely, D. Johnson, T. Reynolds, F. Bauer, D. Souder, D. Mclnturf, D. Timberlin, R. Blickenstaff. Second row: H, Gorrell, H.

The officers elected were Doris Bartels, president; Julia Simanton, vice president; Barbara Butz, secretary; Jeanne Myers, treasurer; Marcia Close, chaplain; and Ladean Manon, sergeant-at-arms. Mrs. Holdeman and Mrs. Bartels were the advisers. Julia Simanton, Jeanne Myers, Ladean Manon, Barbara Butz, and Doris Bartels attended the fall district conference at Butler. Doris Bartels and Mrs. Holdeman attended the International Centennial Convention of the Y.M.C.A. at Cleveland. The president attended a youth convention in connection with this. From Cleveland all the young people at the convention from all over the world went to Oberlin College where they attended a Hi-Y convention for three days. The first dance ending the initiation of the freshman girls, which was held on November 9, was a huge success. Teen-Y held its meetings on the first and third Mondays of each month at the Y.M.C.A. Mr. Lawson and Mrs. Over- meyer were two of the speakers at the meetings. A panel discussion also was included in the year ' s meetings. The club had a membership of 50 including Noreen Hartman, who recently came from India. A great deal of time was spent in devotion. In order to raise money, the Teen-Y held a candy sale in December. From the proceeds of this and the yearly dues, contributions were made to the Red Cross and the March of Dimes. The club also paid for the guards for the members ' pins. Some of the girls served at the Y.M.C.A. campaign dinners. Teen-Y fills a moral, spiritual, and social need for high school girls, and to it we extend the hand of approval. Page 58 E t irutls ' Inurttal The Devils ' Journal is now four years old, and with Sue Baxter as editor has had a very successful year. Many new features have been added and the appearance of the paper has been much improved. The paper has appeared every two weeks. It cost five cents and included interesting information about the happenings around A.H.S. The main staff consisted of Sue Baxter, editor-in-chief; Myrna Funke , assistant editor; Tommy Reynolds, business manager; and Don Johnson, art editor. Organization editors were Ann Shaw, Bryce Treadwell, Barbara Butz, Mary Helmuth, Fred Bauer, Marcia Close, Sam Campbell, and Barbara Lockhart. Gossip has been tracked by Alice Ro- meiser, Sharon Perkins, Doris Bartels, and Carolyn Burtz- ner. Davey Schwartz was athletic editor and Betty Bauer and Ruby Helmuth, humor editors. Virginia Picker prepar- ed the layout. Beverly Blevins was head typist and Bar- bara Shook, head printer. Marilyn Hess acted as secretary Typists were Mary Gengnagel, Sally Draggoo, Sharon Smith, Claudia Drake, Judy Long, Mary Helmuth, and Jeanette Beers. The faculty sponsor was Miss Dawson. Students have been thrilled to see their essays, poems, stories, or jokes in the paper. These special featurejs and good news coverage have been the chief factors which have made the paper a success this year. First row: J. Brandon, B. Blevins, S. Baxter, B. Shook, J. Barnhart, M.

E t ICtbrartattH If it is help you need in search of a book or cm elusive fact, the librarians or their assistants are glad to help you. Under the supervision of Miss Dawson, these girls have been very helpful to puzzled students. At the beginning of every year Miss Dawson asks for volunteers who would like to be librarians or assistants. From this group ten or fifteen work- ers were chosen. In addition to their help in locating books, they have the responsibility of keeping the magazines in order. The magaiznes to be found on the library rack help the students to be better informed in sports, inventions, styles, farming, and current events. Other than reference books and maga- zines, there are dictionaries, atlases, and alma- nacs which are very useful in obtaining facts on particular subjects. The social studies rooms and the biology and agriculture room have class col- lections of books which are very useful in obtain- ing facts on those particular subjects. The public library is depended upon for fiction. The completeness of our reference library makes it much easier to find just what we are looking for in a short time, and for this we should be very happy. Page 60 Speck of dust?

For 28 years A.H.S. has been fortunate in having Coach Young ' s outstanding leader- ship. Whether victorious or de- feated, his boys at all times maintain an extremely high team spirit w hich is developed through the expert coaching of Mr. Young. COACH RANDY LAWSON Randy is one of the idols of A.H.S. He has led his boys to many a victory on the hard- wood. Coach Lawson has won the warm regard and the high respect not only of the Auburn players and fans but also of opponents. This high regard has been won as a result of his ideals of fair play and sports- manship. This big, likeable fel- low, an outstanding end man (namely, Time Table ) has surely been a success in the community as well as in the school. COACH GERALD WEILER Jake ' s main job is teaching industrial arts, but he has many pastimes, one of which is help- ing Coach Young by acting as one of the assistant coaches in football. It is his job to prepare the boys for the varsity squad. You might say he molds play- ers who compete for positions on Zeke ' s varsity team. Jake holds an undefeated record for his B team games. The Auburn Athletic Association, which for short is called the A. A. A., includes nearly all the pupils in Auburn high school. Its members are those who play on the football, basketball, or track teams, yell leaders (managers of any of these sports) and student season ticket holders. This club was organized to promote school spirit, to increase the enthusiasm of the students who attend and participate in the different sports, as well as to bring about clean sports- manship and emphasize fair play. The organi- zation holds pep sessions in the big gym to present new yells, practice old ones, and intro- duce pep speakers, thus to create the enthusi- asm which is necessary to win the type of ball game Auburn is famous for playing. As usual, the two special speakers who usually appeared before this group were Randy and Zeke. They are both known not only for their velvet words and fluent language, but also for their ability to put pep into the student body. Cal Grosscup was elected president of the association by the student body, and Fred Bauer was elected secretary. Johnny Manon was appointed by Coach Young as the football manager and LaVern Sharp was chosen by Coach Lawson as basketball manager. The statistician was Eddie Aschliman. David Schwartz, Barbara Potter, and Helen Quance were chosen by the student body to act as the yell leaders for the 1951-52 season. These three enthusiastic and agile performers have introduced many new yells and a pleas- ing routine which has brought much praise from our own and surrounding schools. Top row: A. A. A.

Blasting out a record of six wins, one tie, and one defeat, the Devils ' success can be credited to a lot of hard work, an excellent spirit of cooperation, the coaching of Zeke Young and his assistants, and to the team leadership provid- ed by Captain Cal Grosscup. Coaches Zeke Young, Randy Lawson, and Gerald Jake Weiler were greeted with about sixty football hopefuls when the first day of prac- tice opened for Auburn High school. The IHSAA sets the first day of practice as August 15. With only one regular endman, Cal Grosscup, and five backfield men, LaVern Sharp, Dave Mi- chael, Dave Timberlin, Bob Delagrange, and James Capen as experienced lettermen. Coach Young and his assistants had a tremendous task developing green, inexperienced boys into a formidable eleven. Praise cannot be too great for the splendid job done. Some may say that the record is due to luck, but it is more likely that it was the enthusiasm and high spirit combined with the fundamentals as taught to the Red Devils by their able coaches that achieved the results. With only six varsity linemen from the ' 51 grid- iron eleven, Zeke began to mold his co-champ team. The returning lettermen were Dwight Mor- ris, Don Johnson, Max Grogg, LaVern Knisely, Fred Bauer, and Harry Gorrell. Others who saw action on the varsity squad were Art Carper, Harold Hayden, Jack Casselman and Don Souder. The position of manager offering little honor and much hard work was very capably filled by John Manon. The athletic physicians were Doctors Max Wills and Harry M. Covell. The six conference and the two non-conference games, Marion and Concordia, made up the eight-game schedule that faced the Red Devils. The team got off to a flying start in the season ' s opening game on September 7, against the Deca- tur Yellow Jackets. It was a northeastern Indiana conference victory for the defending co-cham- pions, the Red Devils. Our hard-driving team immediately got down to work and had a 25-0 lead at the halftime. The high light of the game came when Jim Capen raced sixty yards for the first tally in the second half. Hard driving plunges and fast end runs accounted for the balance of scoring. The final score was 32 to 6. Auburn in its second game of the season again just squeezed by New Haven with a 21-18 victory. All of the six touchdowns in the game were made on passes. The margin of victory was accounted for by the point made after the touchdowns. The first major injury of the season occurred when Lyle Oft broke his ankle in practice. The game with Bluffton proved another thrilling victory for the Auburn Red Devils. Both tallies were scored in the second quarter. The big sur- prise of the game came when Dave Michael lat- eraled to Dave Timberlin for an 87-yard score. The final score was 14-0. The game with Marion proved to be a sorry day for the Red Devils as they were defeated 34-26. The Red Devils built up an early 19-7 first-half lead but were unable to hold it in the last two quarters. First row: D. Johnson, H. Gorrell, M. Grogg, L, Knisely, F. Bauer, D.

The Auburn Red Devils overwhelmed the visit- ing Concordia Cadets with a crushing 32-7 vic- tory. Spectacular break-away running by Dave Timberlin and Dave Michael, plus the fine passing reception by Tom Reynolds and Cal Grosscup led to the victory. The Red Devils won another crushing victory when they defeated the Columbia City Eagles 24-7. The heavier Eagle line could not cope with the charging of the locals and failed to keep up on the wide end runs. The second serious injury of the season occurred when Jim Capen dislocated his left arm at the shoulder in the last quarter. In the feature game of the Northeastern Indiana Conference race, the Red Devils and the Warsaw Tigers fought to a 13-13 standstill. The Red Devils were trailing 13-6 with two minutes to go when Dave Michael passed into the waiting arms of Tom Reynolds, who was standing in the end zone. Muzzillo passed to Grosscup for the extra point as the time ran out. The Auburn Red Devils closed the 1951 football season with a rather easy 27-13 victory over their arch rivals, the Garrett Railroaders. The superb play of the Auburn linemen throttled the attack of the Railroaders and kept the running plays of the visitors in check. Bob Delagrange skirted 23 yards around left end for the game ' s first talley. Auburn marched sixty-four yards for their final score, with Blickenstaff skirting left end for the final two yards and the score. Then the Auburn subs streamed onto the field for the final kickoff. Jack Feagler of Garrett took Muzzillo ' s kick on the ten, and ran 90 yards down the sidelines for the most spectac- ular score. AWARDS Cal Grosscup, who received identical end posi- tions on both the United Press and the Associated Press second teams, was placed on the fourth team of Heze Clark of the Indianapolis Times. Dave Michael also was given honorable men- tion on Heze Clark ' s football team. Page 69 F. Bauer R. Betz P. Muzzillo A. Carper T. Reynolds D. Souder laskrtball Page 70 e  tn ' A. Myers J. Capen C.

With four Fort Wayne regional crowns to their credit and a trip to the state finals, the Red Devils have gained quite a reputation. A championship team for 1951-52 spells the record for the Red Devils. Coach Lawson, who instructed and advised the boys in the arts of guarding, dribbling, and tossing the ball through the basket, deserves much credit. Big Cal Grosscup, all-regional center, was the captain of the team. He combined scoring ability wth a good defensive game and was one of the most consistent players in the conference. Lavern Sharp was the senior student manager. Emmet was one of the most efficient managers that Coach Lawson could possibly have found. Eddie Aschliman was the act- ing assistant manager and statistician for the team. With only one varsity letterman left from last year ' s quintet, and a scarcity of reserves. Coach Lawson rounded out a team which hung up seven conference games with no loss and thirteen non-conference games with only three losses. King basketball took over the spotlight the first week in November with twenty-eight hopeful boys. From this group, twenty boys were selected for the varsity and B teams. The varsity boys were Cal Grosscup, a senior, and jun- iors Tommy Reynolds, Bob Delagrange, and Jim Capen. The last named varsity member reported hampered by a dislocated shoulder which he received in football. Brad Webb and Pete Muzzillo were sophomores. The varsity newcomers were Art Carper, Fred Bauer, and Bob Betz. Auburn started its season off with a super bang. The locals ran up a crushing 92-34 victory over the Ashley Aces. They followed with their second stunning victory over the Butler Windmills with a score of only 7-4, one of the lowest scores in modern basketball. The Auburn quintet had a tough time with the Con- cordia Cadets, but finally won with a score of 62-55. The Red Devils hit the road for a contest with South Side of Fort Wayne. South Side was virtually stunned when the,,, overwhelming Auburn team ran up a score of 43-21 an ' became the second of the Summit City teams to fall. Jhe New Haven Bulldogs were definitely outclassed by the Red Devils at the Alumni gym by a score of 47-37, this be- ing the fifth straight victory for the Auburn quintet. The game with North Side of Fort Wayne will be one to be remembered by both teams. The teams were red-hot and the score was tied most of the way through the game until Bob Delagrange saved the day with a perfect foul shot in the last seconds of the game. The score ended 42-41. The Red Devils shifted into high gear by beating their traditional rivals, the Garrett Railroaders, in a com- paratively easy game, ringing up a score of 77-44. The battle-weary Red Devils were defeated for the first time by the hepped-up Peru Tigers. Peru won with a score of 42-39. The Angola Bees gave the Auburn team a tough battle at the Alumni gym, but a third quarter splurge saved them from defeat. The final score was 55-46. The New Year ' s day tourney was tough for Auburn. The Devils met the Elkhart team ' s tall line-up for the second defeat of the year. The Blue Blazers overwhelmed the quin- tet with a score of 47-43 in the afternoon game. The local team had little trouble in the consolation game to defeat the Huntington Vikings by a score of 72-52. The Red Devils failed to get any revenge from the Elkhart Blue Blazers when the latter beat the locals a second time by a score of 47-49. This was our third and last defeat of the season. The locals got back on the winning side of the column by defeating the Kendallville Comets by a score of 63-52. This win put Auburn in the lead for the N.E.I.C. Auburn ' s next game was definitely a one-sided affair. The locals trounced the Warsaw Tiger aggregation by a score of 70-41. The Red Devils were very fortunate to pull out of the Decatur game with a 43-41 victory. Overconfidence seem- ed to take the place of Auburn ' s usually rugged perform- ance. On Friday, Feb. 1, the fans took a long ride to Co- lumbia City to see the locals set two records. First, Auburn won the game by a score of 93-51, to clinch the N.E.I.C. title, and, second, big Cal Grosscup set a scoring record of 43 points, a new conference record. On Saturday night the Auburn five trounced the baffled Central team of Fort Wayne by a score of 68-53. This defeat of the fourth Fort Wayne team put Auburn up as the unofficial champion of Fort Wayne. It was also Central ' s greatest margin of loss. The Wabash Apaches gave the locals a tough battle, but as in the North Side game, Auburn won by a perfect free throw. The free throw by Jim Capen was the difference between a win of 47-46 and a loss by our quintet. The locals ran up a score of 57-49 to beat Bluffton in their last home game of the season. This win put the Devils up for an undefeated home record, and also for their seventh conference game. The Auburn five ended the regular season with a 59-42 victory over the Huntington Vikes. Auburn breezed through the Garrett sectional tourney by rolling up an easy score of 59-33 against the St. Joe Tigers in the first game. The local five played the Fremont Eagles in the evening tilt, and came out on the long end of the 59-37 score. On Saturday afternoon the Auburn crew broke up another stall game with the Butler Wind- mills. But, as before, it worked against the Butler five to the tune of a 48-17 victory for Auburn. This win put the locals in the final game of the Garrett sectional to face the Scott Center Bulldogs. The first five sat on the bench for most of the game, while the second crew ran up a score of 72-53. This was the fourth straight sectional win for Auburn high school, and also the fourth time in a row the Fort Wayne teams have met with the Auburn five in the regionals. As in the 50-51 season, the locals came into a clash with the Central Tigers. The afternoon game with the Tigers will be one remembered by both teams for a long time to come. Hard fought and a regular fan killer, the game with Central became a gateway to the Muncie semi-finals. The Auburn live topped the Central team with a score of 49-46. In the evening game the locals beat De- catur 84-52, with big Cal Grosscup pouring in 30 points (which set an all-time single game high for the Fort Wayne regional). The Red Devils ' final tourney game with Muncie Central proved to be a heart breaker for the Au- burn team and fans. The Muncie quintet beat the locals to the tune of 64-39 for the worst defeat of the year. How- ever, there was some consolation in the fact that the Muncie Bearcats won the state championship at Indian- apolis for the second season in a row. Cal Grosscup, Auburn ' s great center, wound up the season with a total of 575 points for an average of 21.3 points per game. Cal ' s total for three years of varsity play was 1347 points, a new Auburn high school, DeKalb county, and possibly an area record. Cal also was honor- ed by being placed on the Indiana All-State team by a popular poll of coaches conducted by the Louisville Courier-Journal. Cal also was elected as sixth man on the Indiana All Stars team to play the Kentucky All Stars team on June 21 at Butler Fieldhouse for the benefit of the blind. Page 72 Vicious, isn ' t he?

It is usually made up of freshmen and sophomores, but occasionally juniors play on it for the experience needed to qualify them for varsity team play. The Imps play a full 18-game schedule, as does the varsity team, but they do not participate in tournament play. The Imps were coached this year by Zeke Young, Randy ' s assistant coach. The members of the team were Larry Hinschlager and Don Souder, juniors; Bill Culbertson, Lee Dean, Lloyd Grimm, Gerald Grate, Corkey Winebrenner and David DeCoursey, sophomores; and Albert Gengnagel, Jim Blevins, Bill Feagler, Ed Hildebrandt, Dick Krick, Larry Spade and Steven Sprott, freshmen. The Imps played a tough schedule this year, as did the first team, but unlike their Big Broth- ers they had tough luck in that they lost most of their games. They won only four of their 18 sched- uled games. The following is a complete list of the games and the scores.

Griffith arsttg ' 51 Page 77 (Hmtk 1951 On March 31, with spring in the air, Coach Zeke Young had his 1951 thinly clad hopefuls out on Earl Carr Memorial track for the first out of door practice. Forty-five Auburn athletes worked the local cinder path. With the return of five outstanding lettermen and a multitude of reserves and newcomers, there was no reason to doubt the success of the squad. The five lettermen were Dave Michael, high jumper and pole vaulter; Jerry Blevins, putter of the shot and hurdler; Steve Butler, hurdler and runner of the mile relay; John Goings and Jerry Griffith, distance runners. Other very capable lads were, Harry Gorrell, mile; Don Johnson and LaVern Knisely, 440 and relays; Sam Campbell and Pete Fribley, half-mile; David Timberlin and LaVern Sharp, sprinting; and Cal Grosscup, putting of the shot. The underclassmen were Don Souder, Art Carper, and Dave Houghton, quarter-milers; Jim Capen and Jack Casselman, hurdlers and dashers; Jack Covell, Eddie Aschliman, Bob Delagrange, and John Manon, sprinters and broad jumpers; Danny Hardenbrook and Tom Reynolds, high jumpers and hurdlers; Dwight Morris, putter of the shot, and Jim Sei gel and Hugh Squires, distance runners. The newcomers, and an excellent crop they turned out to be, included Harry Hoham, Bill Walters, Corky Winebrenner, and Gerald Grate who were sprinters; Pete Muzzillo, hurdler; and Dave DeCoursey, middle distance runner. After several weeks of training and timing, the thinlies drew a 78-37 victory over the Fremont Eagles. The main attraction was the unexpected points the underclassmen piled up. Leading the local underclassmen were Pete Muzzillo, Bob Delagrange, and Jack Covell in the half-mile relay team. Brad Webb won the broad jump. Coach Zeke Young ' s thinly clads traveled to K ' ville to meet the Comets. The slippery condition and cold weather had its telling effects on the field event. The results: Comets 66, and Red Devils 49. The Red Devils entertained the Butler Windmills on April 17. The final score was 721 2 to 42 ' 2- Each team turned in five first blue ribbons but Auburn copped both relays and took second place in every event but one. The Auburn Red Devils entered the Goshen Relays in the Class B division. Zeke ' s squad was not quite up to full strength and put their bid in for a tie in sixth place. The Red Devils ' thinly dads had an easy victory over Con- cordia, 91-24. The team entered the Kokomo relays, taking second place in the Class B. division. They finished with 22 points. Steve Butler was the day ' s star for Mcintosh high school. The Auburn athletes made 36 points in the Northeastern Conference meet at Columbia City. They were nosed out of second place by one-half point in the final event. The regular season closed with a victory over Garrett, 70V4 1° 44%. Dave Michael and Steve Butler were outstanding in their events. Harry Gorrell won the mile race. Grosscup, Webb and Blevins scored in putting the shot. Then the boys began trai ning for the sectional meet at Fort Wayne. The Red and Black made a good showing at the Fort Wayne annual sectional meet. The Auburn team scored 211 2 points. Steve Butler, Dave Michael and Jerry Griffith qualified to enter the regionals at Kokomo. Dave won first place with a vault of 11 feet, 3 inches. Dave Michael in the pole vault department, Steve Butler in the hurdles, and Jerry Griffith in the distance run, repre- sented the Fort Wayne district in the Kokomo regionals, but none of the boys qualified for the state finals. The coveted letters and senior awards were given to the boys who had fulfilled the requirements. Letters were award- ed to Jerry Blevins, Steve Butler, James Capen, Sam Camp- bell, Jack Covell, Robert Delagrange, Pete Fribley, John Goings, Harry Gorrell, Gerald Grate, Jerry Griffith, Calvin Grosscup, LaVern Knisely, David Michael, Peter Muzzillo, Thomas Reynolds, Donald Souder, David Timberlin, and Bradford Webb. David Feagler won his award for being the very capable manager of the cinder boys. The seniors who received their silver track shoes were, Jerry Blevins, Steven Butler, Peter Fribley and Jerry Griffith, Page 78 WEATHER: Send in coupon for free sample. ' piE Shovel We Sling It Circulation: All over Xember 51. 1991 1 2 Vol. XLXCML AMATEUR CHEMISTS DESTROY SCHOOL A.H.S. was shattered early Saturday morn- ing when a C:.H,,3Cl4 (Hi;0)Nn PB :; mixture brewing in the lab suddenly exploded. Debris from the building lay all over the county. It was reported that at the time of the explosion people in nearby towns saw a mushroom of smoke rising several miles into the heavens. The blast from the explosion was so great that it rocked General Anthony Wayne off his horse in a Fort Wayne park. The calamity occurred about 4 :28 a.m. Saturday when one-arm Capen, black-beard Souder, four-eyes Rank, and brains Covell were making up time for Doc Rose. It is believed that the chemists were working under the influence of Toot Bauer, Snortz, and Dickael, famous Red spies. The school lay in complete ruins except for 1,0971 0 theme tablets, 2,006V:i textbooks, and 73711 ,,; workbooks. The metal lockers and door knobs were con- sumed by the fire which followed. Authorities believe that the bricks and the outer structure were completely dissolved by the explosion. Professor Rose told ofiicials he had the boys working on a hydrogen sulfide compound and knew nothing of the highly explosive mixture. Rose also stated that he had gone into the sup- ply room, and that it was while he was gone this explosion occurred. He did not know whether the conspirators escaped in Capen ' s hot rod or were killed in the explosion. The SPCDA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Dumb Animals) and the FBI (Fat Boys ' Institution) are investigating the explo- sion. All roads are blocked and all airports are being checked in case they escaped the explo- sion and are trying to skip the country. School will be continued temporarily in the County Courthouse. Sfceef Wins Polo Race Before Tremendous Crowd It is estimated that 4,174 ' ' 4 eager people surrounded the Courthouse square on April 31 to witness one of the biggest athletic events of the year, the faculty polo race. Six persons were scheduled to participate but at the last minute Mr. Long John Love had to withdraw because of his inability to find a ten-foot polo stick. At 6:97 the anxious patricipants were wait- ing at the starting line. Miss Duguid, the official starter, fired the double-barrel shotgun and the great polo race was on. Doc John W. Rose took the lead with his new scientific polo stick. Professor Miller was second with Lawson close behind. Skeet and Zeke were still at the start- ing line signing autographs. In the northeast turn, Lawson took the lead as Doc ' s polo stick was decelerated to a slow motion. L. W. stopped to talk with a student who was watching the race and who had been absent from school that day. As they rounded the northwest turn, Lawson was tiring very fast and Skeet and Zeke were rapidly catching up. Coming into the home stretch. Zeke was out front with Skeet close behind, while Lawson took the wrong turn and -as later found on highway 27. Zeke tripped and fell, as Skeet raced to the finish line. It was rumored that Skeet was up to to his old tricks again and had two of his hench- men stretch a wire across the street to prevent Zeke from finishing. After the race, tables were set up in the Courthouse yard and ice cream and pickles were served to both contestants and spectators. Page I A ti rttHFtn ntH A-T-T-E-N-T-I-O-N GIRLSl Are you pale?

Tired of the cruel and inhuman way Grogg has been treating them, they turn- ed against him.
