' i 77TT Foreivord The Old South has been selected as the theme for the 1956 Follies. The South now contributes greatly to our country ' s prosperity with its vast agricultural regions and growing industries, but we are especially interested in the days of the early nine- teenth century. The days preceeding the years of the Civil War were ones of a rich, colorful life of brilliant ballroom dances, thrilling fox hunts, hours of working and singing in the cotton fields, quiet and sophisticated plantation living, and the excite- ment of the Mississippi River life with its picturesque steamboats and traveling shows. This year ' s book has been built around these delightful days of the Old South, and as you look upon the following pages, we hope that you will recall some of the delightful times that you have enjoyed at Auburn High School.

These four years include a variety of learning interwoven with enjoyable activities among our friends and fellow classmates. To freshmen, grad- uation seems like a distant horizon, but it is not long until that familiar song, Pomp and Circumstance, is playing for us, and we, too, are wearing the tradi- tional caps and gowns. Reading, writing, and arithma- tic are not the only things which one learns in this education. Such qualities as responsibilities, leadership, and self-reliance are taken on as students work to- gether in community projects and clubs. Looking ahead and planning a future in this complex world is a heavy burden placed upon each individual as he nears the close of his secondary education. These last four years are often priceless in making decisions concerning a life work. Students must also remember, when they become tired of the work and routine of school, that a high school diploma is invaluable in acquiring a job. High school is not just a place for study, for here a student meets innumerable friends and may partici- pate in many social activities, including sports and special interest groups. Altogether, these four years are unforgettable; but in order to help you refresh your memory in future years, the class of 1956 has published the Follies of ' 5 6. Work for this edition began in May, 1955, when the camera began to flash for pictures and the dummy copy was laid out. Later, in September, the remainder of the staff was elected, and assignments were given. Since then everyone has been busy with write-ups, drawings, and photography. This work is not only the result of work by our ow n staff but also that of several individuals and companies who have helped us in var- ious fields. Thanks to Davis Studio, our pictures were developed quickly and so well. Through Mr. Thomas Broom and the Ft. Wayne Engraving Company, these pictures were collected and beautifully engraved. Dur- ing this time, Mr. Paul Bundy helped us to select at- tractive covers after which the S. K. Smith Company manufactured them. Our many thanks must be ex- tended to Mr. Robert Love who helped us to have good English sentences and interesting articles after his end- less hours of checking and correcting copy. After com- pleting the written work, we sent it to the Auburn Printing Company to be transferred into a neat, printed form. Following this process came the binding which the Heckman Binding did so well. Last of all, the en- tire staff must thank Mr. Lloyd Miller for his con- siderate helpfulness and advice to everyone on the staff in all stages of completing this finished product, the 1956 Follies of Auburn High School. Here ' s wishing many hours of enjoyment and recollection to all of our readers.

Under the capable leadership of Jerry Heffley, pres- ident; Wayne Hurni, vice-president; Michael Webb, treasurer; Brian Baker, secretary; and Morris Shull, chaplain, the Hi-Y Club proved to be a very helpful and worthwhile organization. Their motto is, To create, maintain, and to extend throughout the home, school, and the community, high standards of Chris- tian character. Hi-Y combined efforts with Tri-Hi-Y to promote the traditional, much-anticipated Sandwich Day event. The money from this event will be used for the needy. The club holds its meetings the first and third Wednesdays of each month. Highlights of the year ' s meetings were talks by Mr. Warren G. Sunday, who spoke interestingly on the F.B.I., and by the Rev. LeRoy Buuck, who held the attention of each boy with his talk on Teen-Age Morals. Movies were also shown on several occasions. On the night of November 11, the Hi-Y held their initiation dance. This affair was enjoyed by the other two Y clubs. Sandwiches, potato chips and punch were served. The traditional Kangaroo Court was held, and the group also enjoyed playing the game, The Name ' s the Same. On March 22, a conference sponsored by the Au- burn Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y clubs was held at the Auburn High School, and the meals were served at the First Methodist Church.

Tri-Hi-Y Under the capable leadership of Miss Mary Catherine Wood, club adviser, and Mrs. Gene Holdeman, Y sponsor, the Tri-Hi-Y enjoyed another successful year. The staff of efficient officers elected for 19 5 5-5 6 were Sue Quaintance, president; Janet Wilmot, vice-pres- ident; Joyce Krueger, secretary; Sandra West, treasur- er; Sandra Burgoyne, sergeant-at-arms; and Carol Free- man, chaplain. The purpose of this club, composed of junior and senior girls, is to promote clean speech, clean sports- manship, clean scholarship, and clean living. Tri-Hi-Y opened its year with initiation of officers and the entertaining of a representative from each club or organization in Auburn. Punch and cookies were served. Several very interesting speakers were obtained. Miss Francis Ki spoke on the teaching profession; Miss Phyl- lis R. Gratz spoke on Why I Chose Law As My Pro- fession ; Mr. Warren G. Sunday spoke about F.B.I, work; the Rev. LeRoy Buuck gave an interesting re- view on missionary work; and Mrs. Cecil Young gave a beneficial description of the many different types of clothing and drapery materials. The club sponsored a dance, a bake sale, and sand- wich day. At Christmas, clothing was collected to be given Mr. Roland J. Muhn for the children at the Saint Vincent Orphanage at Fort Wayne. The officers of the Tri-Hi-Y Club performed an impressive induction ceremony at Leo for the new mem- bers of the Leo Tri-Hi-Y club on December 16. Also, during December the club made Christmas decorations. This project proved to be very interesting, for many unique articles were produced. The club holds its meetings the first and third Wed- nesdays of each month. The meetings are usually opened with the roll call and then the formal procedure. After the business is finished, the speaker for the evening is introduced. The meetings are closed with the singing of the Lord ' s Prayer. Page 47 The Future Homemakers of America The Future Homemakers of America is a club composed of fifteen members. The club colors, red and white, are symbols of youth and purity, and the flower, the red rose, is an emblem of vibrant and glowing health. The motto is, Toward New Horizons. The officers for this year were: president, Ann Vallieu; vice- president, Judy Pickard; treasurer, Mary Lou Odenkirk; reporter, Sandra Gillespie; historian, Rebecca King; song leader, Bonnie McCann; and parlimentarian, Beverly Brown. The club is under the supervision of Mrs. Herbert McAninch. The club mothers were Mrs. Walter Pickard and Mrs. James Odenkirk. One of the projects of the F.H.A. girls was to write to pen pals in foreign countries. This project carried out one of the club ' s purposes: to promote international good will. The club raises funds by selling candy at school and by receiving small donation dues from each member of the club. An F.H.A. party was held April 12 in the little gym, Richard Hamman and Larry Frank provided entertainment for the group by singing songs. Games were played and records were played for dancing. After the girls served refreshments, the meeting was adjourned. A formal banquet was held May 1 5 at the Auburn Hotel. Judy Wilmot was chairman.

Chorus It has been said that there is music here, there, and everywhere in the world. One of the organizations that provides music here, for us, is the Auburn High School Chorus. This group may include both boys and girls in its membership, but the class tends to remain in the hands of the fairer sex. The girls, whose . ranks have almost doubled last year ' s enrollment, were efficiently dir- ected by Mrs. Mary Jo Wort. This organization has been very active throughout the past year. They have concentrated on a cappella work, which is singing without the accompaniment of the piano. On Good Friday, the chorus presented a musical selection at the services which were held at the First Metho- dist Church. At this time the girls sang the very inspirational song, Were You There. In March, the chorus entered the choral group con- test at Angola. The three selections that were sung included Let Us Break Bread Together, My Hero, and My Lord Delivered Daniel. The vocalists also participated in the joint Christmas program with the band and the speech departments. The activities of the chorus ceased in May when the girls sang for the Baccalaureate and Commencement ex- ercises. Mallote ' s Lord ' s Prayer, and Bells of Memory were the se- lections presented at Baccalaureate. The pieces One God and O Master Let Me Walk With Thee created a very inspirational mood at Commencement. Carol Vise and Marlene Welly received excellent ratings on their vocal selections at the January district solo and ensemble contest. A sextet was formed within the chorus this year. Its members included Joan Calvin, Sandra Steeves, Sharon Steeves, Catherine Cobler, Linda Jones, and Patty Thomas. Marlene Welly accompanied the vocalists on many of their selections. The effective officers of the chorus were Marjorie Muzzillo, president; Catherine Cobler, secretary-treasurer; Marlene Welly, librarian; and Sandra Gillespie, reporter. Page 49 The Auburn High School Band The familiar strains of Across the Field set the early pace for the Auburn High School Band. Under the capable leadership of Glenwood Kuechler, the band presented many half-time performances during the foot- ball reason. The band can well be proud of its marching record. The musicians placed fourth in the DeKalb County Free Fall Fair marching contest and received an excellent rating at the District Marching Contest at Fort Wayne. The twirlers can boast of Virginia Oren and Sheron Conner, who received superior rat- ings, and of Sue Heitz, who received an excellent rat- ing, at the Twirling Contest. Those who kept the band running smoothly on the treble cleft were Michael Webb, president; Norman Ochstein, vice-president; Anna Mae Walter, secretary; and Carolyn Bassett, treasurer. This year a senate com- posed of two members from each class was elected. This group served as a governing body and solved many band problems. First row: Mr. Kuechler, M. Foster, J. Ferguson, C. Browand, S. Hei Second row: S. Grogg, N. Barnhart, J. Steininger, D. McNutt, D. McCa Third row: J. Cutter, J. Moody, S. Donaldson, M. Manon, M. Den fourth rou: C. Guinn, R. Moore, S. Schramm, P. Walter, J. Shook Fifth row: R. Bassett, J. Detrick, J. Jackson, R. Goings, N. Bair, J. B The members of this organization presented many new pep songs to the student body during basketball season. They even helped to pep the Fort Wayne Pistons at the Coliseum on Auburn Night by presenting a humorous skit. The quarter-rests of A.H.S. also en- tertained the audience between acts at the junior-senior play. To prove that musicians are busy people, these students also entered the concert band contest, took part in the annual spring concert, and played for the commencement exercises. Two soloists and one duet received the rating of superior at the district solo and ensemble contest, while three soloists received excellent ratings. Julia Ferguson received a superior rating at the state contest on the saxophone; John Cutter won an excellent rating on his french horn; and the clarinet duet, composed of Glenna Trout and Natalie Bair, also received an excellent rat- ing. tz, V.

The Future Farmers of America The purpose of the Future Farmers of America is to extend better leadership, cooperation, and agricul- ture throughout the community. The Auburn chapter was composed of thirty members with Mr. W. D. Deck as the adviser. The meetings were held once a month with enter- tainment provided by Richard Hamman, who was chairman of the entertainment committee. After each meeting there was recreation, and a number of the boys participated on the F.F.A. basketball team. The club projects undertaken this year were: a swine project, pest contest, and the selling of jello. Jerry Heffley and Larry Heffley sent in their high school records as applications for the Hoosier Farmer Degree. The advisory board sponsored another annual all- day field trip. The F.F.A. boys who received green hand degrees were: Joe Shellenbarger, Wayne Smith, David Carper, Eugene Patee, Edward Carper, Ronald Bassett, Lionel Winslow, Elmer Winslow, and Robert Stafford. The boys who received chapter farmer degrees were: Franklin Boger, James Schultis, Thomas Schultis, Jeri Walter, Ronald Wilcoxson, and Richard Smith. The officers for the year were: Jerry Heffley, pres- ident; Larry Heffley, vice-president; John Sherwood, treasurer; Paul Smith, secretary; Richard Smith, re porter; and Carl Hildebrandt, sentinel. On April 6th, Mr. Deck, Jerry Heffley, Joe Pro- vines and Richard Hamman made a trip to Purdue. Jerry Heffley received his Hoosier Farmer deg ree while Joe Pro- vines and Richard Hamman were official delegates at the State Convention. The loser of the pest contest sponsored a successful father and son banquet which was the last meeting. Page S 1 The Future Teachers of America The Future Teachers of America Club was chartered during the 19 54- 195 5 school year. The members decided to name their organization The Robert Schooley Club of Future Teachers of America, honoring a former outstanding teacher and prominent citizen of Auburn. Membership in this club is open to anyone who has an interest in teaching. Regular meetings were held the second and fourth Tuesday night of every month at 7 p.m. The purpose of the organization is to give future teachers an idea of what a teacher ' s duties will be. He must love children and have faith in their future. He must be willing to co-operate and have a desire to serve. A good teacher should also have a desire to help improve his com- munity and to assume a share of community responsibility. During the 1955-1956 school year, the activities of the club in- cluded: observing and teaching classes from elementary grades up to high school grades; giving a play for the student body and the Auburn Classroom Teachers Association; carrying on panel discussions; and a number of other activities. The name of the play which the students presented was Me a Teacher? The cast included Sandra Burgoyne, John Cutter, Carol Freeman, Leola Hay, Carl Hildebrandt, Sue Quaintance, Phillip Trout, Anna Mae Walter, and Curtis West. A few members secured accurate data about Mr. Schooley from his family, friends, and former students and prepared a paper. Two guest speakers were included in the program during the year. Miss Rhoda Williams, president of the Indiana State Teachers Associa- tion, gave an interesting speech to the group. She told them what would be expected of them as future teachers. At another meeting, Mrs. Leo Hildebrandt spoke on Handwriting Analysis. The officers for the year 195 5-1956 were: Dian Hoodelmier, pres- ident; Judy Steininger, vice-president; Sandra Burgoyne, secretary; Susan Trippel, treasurer; Julia Shook, parliamentarian; Sally Burtzner, his- torian; Phillip Trout, librarian; and Judy Hamilton, song leader. Miss Gladys Duguid was the sponsor of the club. First row: P. Trout, J. Shook, J. Hamilton, S. Trippel, J. Steininger, D. Hoodelmier, S. Burgoyne, S. Burtzner, Miss Duguid. Scconil run: J. Cutter, M.

The Mitsue Ueda Club The Mitsue Ueda Club offers an opportunity for students of Auburn High School to correspond with students of other countries. The group writes mainly to Japan and France. The officers for this year were: president, Gary Scott; vice- president, Larry Shoudel; secretary, Virginia Oren; and treasurer, Linda Phillips. Mr. Lloyd Miller and Mr. Robert Love were the club ' s advisers. Meetings were held twice every month. The members wrote letters to their pen pals, and they read the letters they had re- ceived. Some of the members exchanged gifts with their pen pals. Often the typing room would be filled with eager writers as messages were prepared for friends in Japan and other countries. Although the messages were personal, members would read each others letters and make suggestions for improvement. Much of the fun came from sharing information. Mr. Harry Reno was one of the special speakers this year. He had a short wave set, and some broadcasts from foreign countries were picked up. At other meetings members viewed slides of scenes from many foreign countries. A European tour included pictures of England, France, the Netherlands, Switz- erland, and Italy. Other tours were of Okinawa and Japan. With a large map of Japan, members attempted to locate their Japan- ese pen pals at another meeting. The Rev. Allen Hauck supplied a special tour with slides through Mexico. Rev. Hauck had taken the photographs himself while on a tour of Mexico. The trip acquainted members with many interesting facts about our neighbors to the south of us. Refreshments were often served at the meetings. The Mitsue Ueda Club was named in honor of Mitsue Ueda, a Japanese student who wrote to Auburn High School two years ago and requested pen pals for herself and her friends. Previous to the Mitsue Ueda Club the Gitta Sereny Club had adopted two Austrian schools and sent food packages and letters over- seas. Page S 5 The Girls ' Athletic Association During the past year, the Girls ' Athletic Associa- tion, under the leadership of Miss Barbara Bosse, has successfully maintained the purpose of the organiza- tion: to provide the opportunity for all girls interested to participate in athletics, to assist them in acquiring better health, to develop a sense of sportsmanship and fair play, and to fulfill the need for recreation and leadership. The officers of G.A.A. for 195 5-1956 were: Bar- bara Wilson, president; Jane Klock, vice-president; Ann Vallieu, secretary; and Leola Hay, treasurer. To start the season, the girls played softball at Earl Carr Memorial Field as long as the weather per- mitted. When the weather began to turn chilly, the girls stepped indoors to play volleyball. On November 19, the first Volleyball Playday was held at Auburn. The teams participating in the tourney were Garrett, Kendallville, New Haven, and Auburn. The same four teams had another playday on Dec- ember 1 S at Kendallville. In the morning, mixed teams played, and in the afternoon school teams met. Auburn came out on top by defeating Garrett! After volleyball season, the girls began to show their skills at the game of basketball. Class tournaments were held on Tuesday and Thursday of every week at 4:00. The hard snowfalls of January brought swimming and bowling into the picture. These sports were both held on Wednesday afternoon, the latter beginning at 4:00 and the former beginning at 6:15 at the Y.M.C.A. Following these sports, badminton and shuffleboard were the main activities. When the snow began to melt and the birds re- turned, the girls resumed softball. In the spring, the annual banquet was held for the members of G.A.A. Numerals were awarded to those girls who had earned at least 150 points, and letters were awarded to those who had earned 2 50 points. The State Plaque was awarded the girl who had earned 3 50 points. The Outstanding Freshman Plaque was awarded to Darlene Brown, as the outstanding freshman. The Sportsmanship Plaque was awarded to Marjorie Muzz- illo, a senior, for showing the best interest, sportsman ship, and skill throughout her years in G.A.A. First row: C. Hess, C. Bassctt, D.

Curtis West earned another award as basketball manager. The senior boys who received their long-awaited letter blankets were Nick Beers, Jerry Heff ' ey, Layden Rieke, and Kenneth Staggs. The 1955-1956 yell leaders, Robert Bishop, Clodine Webb, and Sandra West, each received a letter A and a chevron. Page 5 5 i =-= - - ' -- -- - Librarians Have you ever wondered as you sat in the assembly just who keeps all the books and magazines in order so that you may find them when you need them? This tremendous job is held by Miss Carol Dawson. Miss Dawson is assisted each hour of the day by students who are willing to devote their assembly periods to helping other students find books. These librarians are as follows: first period: Mary Manon and Julia Butz; second period: Leola Hay and Barbara Rice; third period: Nila Cool and Linda Phillips; fourth period: Carol Freeman and Ann Vallieu; fifth period: Dorothy Dilley and Shirley Croy; sixth period: Sandra Silberg and Sue Heitz. Other librarians work for individual organizations. Carolyn Brow- and, assisted by Judy Capen, keeps track of the thousands of pieces of music in the band office. The chorus librarian is Marlene Welly who, too, keeps her eyes on all the chorus music. Phillip Platter is the librar- ian for the agriculture XI and XII classes. Jeri Walter is the librarian for the agriculture IX and X classes. This job consists of keeping the agriculture books in order. The biology classes, too, have librarians to keep their books in order. They are: first period: Judith Pickard; sceond period: Janice Scott; and third period: Karen Koeppe. The librarian for the Future Teachers of America is John Cutter who also keeps the differ- ent books of this organization. These officers of the different organizations are always very busy and deserve lots more credit than they usually receive because the job of keeping track of books is very time consuming. First row.

Booster Club Jere Kessler, manager, Susan Trippel, assistant manager, and twenty- five ambitious students have brought the four-year-old Booster Club to a successful climax. Much credit should be given Mr. Miller, our principal, for the formation of this club. With one student handling the money and another a basket of con- cessions, these pairs of A.H.S. Boosters were seen all over the gym dur- ing the basketball games selling candy, potato chips, popcorn, and ice cream. Boosters soon become experts at making change quickly, pitching ice cream bars accurately, and catching dimes as they showered down from the top bleachers. Each club member promises to work at three games during the year. The proceeds are used during the year for special assembly programs by musicians, artists, and other professional entertainers. These programs are enjoyed by all the high school students, and surely a vote of grati- tude should be given the Booster Club members for these programs. Mr. Charles Ramsden held the attention of every student with his many different home instruments. A demonstration of pottery making was given by Mrs. Doris Mason. Mrs. Mason also had some members of the student body use their creative imagination to form figures in clay. Awards are given to members. For one year of service a booster would receive a letter A with Booster on it; for two years, a pin of a pre- ferred color is awarded; and for three years, a gold pin is presented. A letter and much credit goes to manager Jere Kessler. The students and basketball fans are grateful to the Booster Club for its efforts and faithfulness. Page 5 7 The Devils ' Journal Eight years have passed since the birth of the Devils ' Journal, and each year brings added features and grow- ing interest. The major staff consisted of: editor-in-chief, Julia Ferguson; associate editor, Virginia Oren; business man- ager, Judy Steininger; exchange secretary, Jane Klock; and head typist, Joyce Krueger. The minor staff in- cluded: reporters, Sharon Veale, Donna Bartels, Jayne Hinschlager, Sandra Burgoyne, Myrna Haines, Roberta Holdeman, Richard Hamman, Ellen Rowley, and Sharon Cochard; organizations, Anna Mae Walter, Natalie Bair, Lynda Dunn, Melinda Lumm, Nick Beers, and Carolyn Bassett; sports, Joseph Sanders and John Cutter; col- umns, Dian Hoodelmier, Sandra West, Clodine Webb, Anne Klock, Beverly Yates, Roberta Steininger, David Close, Carol Freeman, Kay Woodcox, Sally Burtzner, Susan Trippel, and Barbara Wilson; typists, Dorothy Dilley, Carolyn Browand, Clodine Webb, and Sandra West; printers, Phillip Trout, Philip Beck, Stephen An- dres, James Moody, and Leola Hay; artists, Mary Jane McKeon, Jane Gingrich, Barbara Rainier, Judy Capen, Mary Cline, and Sheron Conner; deviltry, Janet Baker, Rita Souder, Julia Shook, Leola Hay, Linda Phillips, Toni Powell, Melanie Myers, and Nancy Neunschwan- der. Much credit should be given Miss Carol Dawson for the capable, patient, and understanding way in which she manipulated all staff members into getting the paper out on time. Devils ' Journal presented news and views up and down the marble halls and their tributaries. Many new articles appeared periodically. An added permanent fea- ture this year was Fashion Quips. The paper is published every two weeks and sells for a nickel a copy. Many hours were devoted to compiling material for the Devils ' Journal, for the staff knows all students anx- iously await the publication of their essays, poems, short stories, and the latest news and views around A.H.S.

Teen-Y Freshman and sophomore girls constitute the mem- bership of the national Y.M.C.A. organisation called Teen-Y. A very beneficial year was completed under the able leadership of the president, Roberta Steininger; the vice- president, Sarah Kinsey; the secretary, Roberta Holde- man; the treasurer, Lynda Dunn; the sergeant-at-arms, Mary Cline; and the chaplain, Lois Lemper. Mrs. Gene Holdeman was the sponsor. These leaders and all the members seemed to be blessed with ambition and vitality. At Christmas they went caroling and took used toys and clothing to the Saint Vincent Orphanage at Fort Wayne. They also entered a decorated car in the Auburn Free Fall Fair Parade. The traditional Sadie Hawkins party, and the coke parties at the Bon Ton Beauty Shop were a few of Teen-Y ' s accomplishments. Lois Lemper, Sandra Silberg, and Roberta Steininger represented the group at the Fall Conference at Wabash, and the Auburn club will be represented by Roberta Steininger at the summer Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y officers ' camp. Such interesting speakers as Mrs. Robert Mendenhall, Mrs. Charles Overmeyer, Mrs. Wayne Shook, Mrs. Don Folk, and the Rev. Harlan Wright presented varied, interesting and educational programs. Teen-Y was also privileged during the year to have Mrs. Leo Hildebrandt who gave a very interesting res- ume on hand writing analysis. At Christmas Mrs. Wayne Shook demonstrated various ways of wrapping Christ- mas packages. Ceramic jewelry was made by the Teen-Y members under the capable leadership of Mrs. Richard Ames. Page !9 Our Hearts Were Young and Gay The lights lowered, the audience hushed, and the curtain parted on the annual junior-senior play. Corn- elia and Emily, in a fren;y of excitement as they pre- pared to sail for Europe, were trying desperately hard to appear bored and very accustomed to this sort of thing. While on ship they had an exciting adventure with a stowaway, mistook the leader of the ship ' s band for an admiral, took all sorts of fancy seasick remedies, and met two handsome young medical stu- dents. Just as the ship docked, it was discovered that Cornelia had the measles. She had to be s muggled off the ship. Once in France they got involved with a gas meter that exploded and slept in a bed that Cardinal Richelieu once slept in, and Cornelia tried to get the great French actor, Monsieur De La Croix, to give her acting lessons. Monsieur De La Croix told Cornelia that she had no talent when he found out that Mr. Skinner could not get him into the American theatre. Rejected, Cornelia gave a monologue of her future bored life and discovered that she had a real new talent for doing monologues. The play was directed by Mrs. Helen Morgan, the speech teacher, and the assistant director was Carol Freeman. The stage director was Lionel Predmore; the business manager was Philip Beck. Art work was done by Jane Klock. The prompters were Melinda Lumm and Kay Woodcox, and the call girls were Kathie Korb and Barbara Rainier. The crews were as follows: make-up: Ellen Rowley, chairman; Sally Burtz- ner, Virginia Oren, Sally Short, and Sharon Cochard; hand props: Mary Jane McKeon, chairman; Judy Capen, Carolyn Bassett, Carolyn Browand, and Charlotte Tim- berlin; lighting: Lyn Schultz, chairman; and Julia Shook; stage crew: Jack Shaw, Richard Smith, Larry Morr, and Harold George; costumes: Dorothy Dilley, chairman; Jane Draggoo, Jane Hinschlager, Julia Butz, and Marsha Heffley; stage props: William Lock, chair- man; David Rolf, Mary Manon, and Judy Blue; sound effects: Barbara Rice, chairman; and Nila Cool. En- tertainment between the acts was presented by the Auburn High School Band. CAST Cornelia Otis Skinner Julia Ferguson Emily Kimbrough _. Judy Steininger Mrs. Skinner Leola Hay Otis Skinner _ „ „..

SPORTS Page 61 MR. LLOYD MILLER Auburn Athletic Director MR. RANDALL LAWSON Football and Basketball Coach, ami Assistant Track Coach THE AUBURN HIGE The winning spirit of Auburn and the en- thusiasm of the student body in backing their teams can be attributed to the Auburn Ath- letic Association. One of the oldest organizations in Auburn High School, the Auburn Athletic Association is charged with the backing of the athletic program. Through the elected student secre- tary and the bonded faculty treasurer, money is collected and distributed for athletics. The largest regular expense is for football, basketball, and track equipment. Every year new equipment must be purchased, and old equipment must be repaired or discarded. Con- struction and upkeep of the physical plant has been shared by the A.A.A. and the Board of Education. The A.A.A. made a substantial contribution to the construction expense of the field house at Carr Memorial Field. The football bleachers were built and are kept up A. A. A.

Also, the A.A.A. purchased lockers for the field house and painted the in- terior of the concrete block structure. In order to help keep the students ' enthusiasm high, pep sessions were held before important games in which the president of the A.A.A., Jerry Heffley, told a few jokes to set the mood. Following his talk, the cheer- leaders, Sandra West, Clodine Webb, and Robert Bishop, led yells. As a final inspiration the coach gave a fiery oration concerning the coming victory. The A.A.A. includes all boys and girls who participate in any high school sport, yell leaders, managers of all sports, band mem- bers, and all student season ticket holders. The officers of the A.A.A. were Jerry Heffley, president; Michael Baxter, secretary; Miss Mary Catherine Wood, faculty treasurer; and Mr. Lloyd Miller, the official director. ootball Basketball [anager — Manager — Cheer Leader — Cheer Leader — Cheer Leader onald Hess Curtis West Clodine Webb Robert Bishop Sandra West N.

Coach Randall Lawson saw seven- ty boys report for his first year as head coach and began teaching them the fundamentals of team play. The number of players left from the undefeated team of last year was greatly reduced by graduation, but Randy was de- termined to have a good season. Five veterans, Beers, Baxter, Heffley, Scott, and Hurni, to- gether with several other lettermen and a few new recruits, soon began to click as a team should. On September 9 Auburn opened its foot- ball season by defeating the Decatur Yellow Jackets 14-0. The first half remained score- less due to first game jitters on the part of both teams. During the second quarter in a beautiful play which faked the Decatur team to the opposite side of the field, John Sher- wood shot away for a 49-yard touchdown run. The next time Auburn received the ball, the Red Devils, sparked by a 3 8-yard pass from Scott to Beers which put them in touch- down territory, again opened up a hole, and Heffley punched the ball over for the score. Scott kicked both of the extra points. The football team traveled to Kendall- ville September 16 to defeat the Comets in a hard battle. The Auburn team was at all times in control of the lead, but some very shaky playing on the part of both teams brought forth a game in which anything could have happened. The Red Devils scored in the first, second, and fourth quarters. The Comets made their only score just before the half. The final score was 19-6 in favor of Auburn. The Bluffton Tigers brought Auburn ' s first defeat of the season. Bluffton scored eight points in the final quarter to pull out a final score of 8-0. The Auburn team fought hard throughout the game and gained much experience from the encounter. Underdog Auburn turned the tables to beat the Concordia Cadets 7-6 in a game which showed the might of the Auburn men. Many Concordia touchdown drives were halt- ed by the Red Devils through their determina- tion to prevent a score. All scoring took place during the third quarter. Rieke blocked the place kick of Concordia and thus prevented a tie game. The Red Devils held the powerful Nap- panee Bulldogs to a 7-0 score on a rain-soaked field. The Nappanee star fullback was held scoreless throughout the game although he did have many substantial gains. Auburn drove hard but could not overtake Nappanee ' s seven point margin. In their sixth game of the season, the Au- burn Red Devils defeated Mississinewa by a 26-6 score. The Devils played well throughout the game and scored in every quarter. Auburn did it! Fighting from behind, the Red Devils scored a decisive touchdown with only 44 seconds to go in the game and defeat- ed Warsaw. Behind 20-12 at the half and 26- 12 after the first play of the second half, the outlook was very dim for the Auburn team. However, the determined Devils looked like a finely polished team in the last half burst of power when they pulled into the lead to win 30-26. After twelve years the Garrett Railroaders pulled out a 13-6 victory over the Auburn team. The Red Devils seemed to have the game under control in the second quarter when Scott ' s pass to Beers put Auburn ahead 6-0. The heavier Garrett line paid off in the Page 66 last quarter, however, when the Railroaders streaked across the goal line twice for thirteen points. The tally stood at five victories and three lo:ses at the end of the season. All games held much excitement due to the fighting spirit of the team and the close score of most games. Randy did a fine job in his first year as head coach. For their participation in the football games Coach Randy Lawson awarded chev- rons and letters to Michael Baxter, Nick Beers, Ken Carpenter, Harold George, Jerry Hef fley, Wayne Hurni, Daniel Kinsey, Larry Morr, Lionel Predmore, Jack Reynolds, Layden Rieke, David Rolf, Joseph Sanders, Ernest Schumann, Ronald Shull, Max Simanton, Richard Smith, William Stouder, Phillip Trout, and student manager Ronald Hess. Silver footballs were also awarded to all sen- iors who included Baxter, Beers, Carpenter, George, Heffley, Kinsey, Hurni, Predmore, Rieke, Sanders, Schumann, Scott, and Jere Kessler, who was unable to participate this year because of an injury in his junior year. The Red Devil B Team, composed of fresh- men and sophomore reserves, played a four- game schedule under Coach Herbert Smuk. The hard-charging reserves showed much pro- mise as they gained a three won, one lost re- cord. The Concordia reserves were white-wash- ed 13-0 in the first game of the season. Richard Morr and Fred Mock scored for Auburn in the second quarter. Concordia was able to reach Auburn ' s eleven-yard line when a series of losses and a bad kick ended the Cadets ' most serious threat. Late in September Coach Smuk ' s lads lost a 7-6 decision to the Kendallville B Team. Down seven points at the half, the Devils were able to punch across only six points in the clos- ing periods. The Garrett B Team fell to Auburn ' s re- serves 6-2 in a close contest. Auburn scored on a twenty-yard pass from Fred Brown to Richard George. In the fourth quarter Garrett was stopped on the three-yard line. Two plays later Garrett registered two points on a safety. In their final game, the Auburn reserves avenged an earlier loss by defeating the Ken- dallville reserves 12-6. Kendallville had its own way for the first two quarters as six points were scored early in the game. But the Auburn reserves took heart between halves and finish- ed strong. A long pass play from Richard Morr to Arthur Albert and a sustained march earn- ed the reserves their victory. First row: D. Kinsey, P. Trout, K. Carpenter, L. Predmore, H. George, N. Beers, J.

Heffley Basketball 1955-1956 One week before the football season was finished Coach Randall Lawson put out a call for all Auburn basketball players to assemble and begin tryouts in Alumni Gymnasium. From these candidates he and Assistant Coach Jack Johnson picked out the team which rep- resented the Red Devils in the basketball sea- son. Curtis West aided them as student man- ager, and Fred Close helped as statistician. Mr. Lynn Holsinger, score-keeper, and Mr. Thom- as Furber, time-keeper, both deserve apprecia- tion for their services. The first game of the season was played at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum where the North Side Redskins handed Au- burn a 60-5 3 defeat. The Re d Devils outplay- ed the Redskins in the first three quarters and proved that they had both the skill and the spirit needed for winning. A victory seemed sure for Auburn with a 50-36 score in the first few minutes of the fourth quarter but the North Side Redskins began whooping it up and pushing the ball through the basket. The Red Devils tried desperately to retain the lead, but the shooting of North could not be stopped, and Auburn ' s lead was passed with just one minute and thirty-five seconds to go. The height of Concordia proved too much advantage over the Red Devils as the Cadets defeated Auburn 73-65. The Auburn team ' s poor rebounding and poor eye for the basket from out decided the game in the Cadets ' favor. Several times Auburn threatened as drives sparked by Beers, who took high scor- ing honors, and Heffley tried to rally the team. Auburn ' s first win of the season came against the South Bend Washington Panthers in a 73-51 victory in which the might of the Red Devils was clearly shown. The Panthers took an early lead, but in a time-out Coach Lawson straightened out the difficulties. Sparked by Dave Jordan, who plunked in twenty-five points, the Red Devils maintained a ten point lead throughout much of the game. The Red Devils ' lead slipped from their hands in the fourth quarter as the Garrett Railroaders pulled in front 45-37 at the gun. The Devils started fast to take an early lead, but the rebounding and scoring of the Garrett team placed them ahead at the game ' s end. Page 70 ■M In December South Side defeated the Au- burn team 65-5 5. The Archers led from the first quarter on due to some hot shooting, and the Red Devils threatened only in the third quarter when Heffley and Beers sparked a drive which placed them within one point. The Red Devils lost a 74-60 game to the LaPorte Slicers when they were unable to overcome the 24-9 lead set up by the Slicers in the first quarter. The Auburn men even out-played the Slicers in the final period. Auburn ' s difficulty in making foul shots spelled the difference as the Peru Tigers de- feated the Red Devils 5 5-52. Staggs played well in the rebound department and in the scoring column until he sprained his ankle. This injury seemed to cripple the whole team. In the holiday tournament at Bluffton, Auburn first met the Kendallville Comets in a slow possession game. The Comets did not score a field goal during the first half and were cold on the foul line also which resulted in the 63-24 win for the Devils. Auburn played Bluffton in the night game. The Tigers ' rebounding ability and aptness on the foul line put them out front and kept them there for a score of 54-3 8 and made themselves winner of their own tournament. The Red Devils met the Comets of Ken- dallville at the Ft. Wayne Coliseum in a 62-41 victory for the Auburn men. Ken Staggs led the attack with twenty-one points. On January 13, Angola won a 61-5 8 vic- tory over the bewildered Red Devils in a one- man game on the part of Mike Erickson who dumped in thirty-four points for the victors. The Red Devils threatened throughout the game but could not overcome the Angola lead. The highly-rated Elkhart Blue Blazers handed Auburn a 70-51 defeat in a game in which the Blazers were never seriously threat- ened. The Red Devils began to have a more relaxed style during the game which led to their better play during the rest of the season. The Red Devils found themselves in the Auburn-Decatur game with the Satans shoot- ing their way to a 61-50 victory over the Yel- low Jackets. The Red Devils rebounded and shot better than they had all season and their team play took on the aspects of a champion. Auburn, led by Ken Staggs, defeated the South Bend Riley Wildcats 93-65. The Red Devils ' lead was never threatened as the Au- burn men led from the second quarter. The Auburn team met the Central Tiger press at the Ft. Wayne Coliseum on January 27. The Tigers leaped ahead early and kept a steady margin which was 69-54 at the gun. The Red Devils went down fighting a- gainst the Hartford City Airedales in a 70-64 battle. The Hartford City team ' s accuracy on the foul line decided the final outcome. Auburn ' s hustle put them out in front 74-54 in a victory over the South Bend Adams Eagles. The Red Devils worked the rebounds well and their basket eye could not be denied. The Red Devils coasted to a 5 8-43 victory over the Bluffton Tigers to avenge their de- feat in the holiday tourney. Auburn ' s re- bounding power left few balls loose for the Tigers, and the Devils ' well-rounded scoring kept Bluffton at a safe distance. Warsaw handed the Auburn men an 80- 68 defeat following a slow first quarter for the Red Devils. The team went down fight- ing but could not overcome the opening lead. The Huntington Vikings handed the Red Devils an 82-75 defeat in Auburn ' s last game of the season. The Red Devils were unable to maintain their lead over the Huntington team. Churubusco ' s new gymnasium was the site of the 195 6 I.H.S.A.A. Sectional Tournament. In the first game Auburn whipped Angola 48-44 in a thriller. Until the last few seconds neither team seemed to have definite control, but the Red Devils came through to win. In Auburn ' s second game of the tourney the Red Devils defeated Waterloo by the close score 43-39. Again winning by four points, the Red Devils pulled the game away in the last few minutes for the victory. The Red Devils missed the sectional crown this year when defeated by rival Garrett 54- 5 3. Although the score was always close, the game progressed in a perfectly sportsmanship manner. We all are very proud of our team. Page 7 1 I ■ ■; V i y i First row: Mr. Johnson, M. Simanton, D.

Auburn Imps Before each varsity basketball game the second team players participate in a game with the second team of the opposing town. These games prove to be as exciting and at times even more exciting than the Red Devil game. The Imps play as tough a schedule as the Devils and this year won nine of their seventeen games. Jack Johnson coached the Imps, and was Randy ' s as- sistant coach. Under Coach Johnson the team fought hard for their many victories. The scores of the Imps ' games were as follows: Auburn 43 Concordia 30 Auburn 43 South Bend Washington 34 Auburn 40 Garrett 35 Auburn 36 South Side 47 Auburn 19 LaPorte 58 Auburn 34 Peru 50 Auburn 46 Kendallville 26 Auburn 53 Angola 29 Auburn 25 Elkhart 44 Auburn 32 Decatur 41 Auburn 49 South Bend Riley 36 Auburn 45 Central 47 Auburn 48 Hartford City 36 Auburn 38 South Bend Adams 39 Auburn 52 Bluffton 34 Auburn 37 Warsaw 43 : l.

Seventy-six enthusiastic athletes stepped up- on the field April third, however, and train- ing began in earnest. The Red Devils opened the track season against the Angola Hornets on the Auburn field. Paul Bateman of Garrett was the official starter and judge. The exper- ienced Hornets bested the Red Devils 66 J 2 to 42 y 2 . The Auburn men picked up four blue ribbons and showed much promise. Angola won seven blue ribbons while the Auburn men won first place in the 100 yard dash, the 440 yard dash, the mile run, and the broad jump. Auburn won the mile relay while Angola won the half-mile relay. The Red Devils brought home the bacon from Kendall ville April 17 for the first win of the season. The contest was never out of Coach Lawson ' s hands, and the Red Devils brought back a score of 64-45. A slam was scored in the high hurdles when Drerup, Leas, and Staggs came in first, second and third. Auburn won its second track meet April 19 over the Concordia Cadets 5 9 to 5 with a thrilling finish in which the relays decided the final outcome. Behind as many as eighteen TRACK points at one time, the Red Devils had to win one of the relays to assure victory. The Red Devils came in with 1 5 points at the Goshen Relays to tie Garrett and Culver for eighth place. Auburn ' s points came on seconds by both the mile relay and sprint med- ley relay teams, fourth in the half-mile relay event, and a fourth by Grant VanHorne in the half-mile race. The Komets fire burned low April 24 for the mighty Red Devils ran up an 8 5-24 score to knock Riverdale from the sky. The Red Devils took all first place ribbons except two in their triumphant march to victory. Using underclassmen in many of the events, Auburn scored four slams by taking all three places. These events were half-mile run, low hurdles, shot put, and pole vault. Double winner for Auburn were Beers in the 100 yard dash and the 440 yard dash and Staggs in the high hur- dles and high jump. Auburn ' s track men clipped the wings of the Fremont Eagles April 26 by the score of 72 3 5 to 36 2 5. A number of performers from each team were unable to participate be- cause of injuries suffered in previous meets. However, Coach Lawson had too much depth Pa«e 76 19 5 5 for the Eagles. In addition to taking six first places and both relays, the Devils added nine of the eleven second places. The track team traveled to Kokomo for the annual Kokomo Relays April 28. Auburn brought back seventh place and a total of 14 points. Scorers were: middle distance relay team, second; medley relay team, third; half- mile relay team, fourth; Scott, pole vault, fourth; and VanHorne, 1,000 yard run, third. May first the Butler Windmills gave the Red Devils a 66 2 to 42 1 2 defeat. The Wind- mills led from the beginning and never lost the lead throughout the meet. The Butler mile relay team of McConnell, R. Herrick, Wilson, and Tharp set a new field record of 3:46.3. The previous record was 3:47 set by an Au- burn team of Ted Magnuson, James Schooley, John Manon, and Ken Mclnturf in 1948. The 100 yard dash record of 10.3 set in 1946 by Fisher of Columbia City was equaled by Woody Blaker of Butler. The Red Devils set the track on fire on May 3 to overcome the Fort Wayne Central Catholic team 61% to 47 1 4 . The Auburn team won six first place ribbons. The Garrett Railroaders shoveled in the coal for a 76 to 33 win over the Red Devils May 8. John Livergood of Garrett broke the shot put record for Carr Field when he tossed the iron ball a distance of 47 feet, nine inches. The previous mark, 47 feet, 4% inches, had been set by Meyers of Decatur in 1946. This made the Auburn record in dual meets five wins and three losses for the season. For the second straight year the Red Devils broke their mile relay record. This time it was broken at the North Side Sectional. The team of David Baker, Fred Quance, Gary Bowser, and Nick Beers whittled 2.7 seconds off the old record for a time of 3:40.4. Coach Randy Lawson presented awards to twenty-two members of the Auburn Red Devil track squad in a special assembly. The members who received either a letter or a chevron for participation were: David Baker, Bernard Drerup, William Feagler, Herbert Hildebrandt, Richard Leas, James Palmer, Fred Quance, Bryce Treadwell, Grant Van- Horne, Nick Beers, Ken Carpenter, Jerry Hef fley, Joseph Sanders, Gary Scott, Kenneth Staggs, Gary Bowser, Carl Hildebrandt, James Lewis, Fred Mock, and Richard Morr. The student manager was Curtis West. Page 77 Whose Big Feet? What ' s In The Bag, Curt? Who Won? Joke Time, Again Watch Johnny ' s finger! Don ' t Slurp, Max. Senior Letteriuen Sink it, jerry! Happy Wanderers As I was saying ... What are you doing, Jake? ik HUMOR AND ADVERTISING Page 79 HAiR CLIPPER Our Heating System For many, many centuries man has been using fire or something heated by fire to heat his homes, his places of business, and his places of recreation. As you pro- bably have observed, there have been several different stages in the development of heating systems. Early man started out with a fire at the front of his cave. This fire not only served to keep him warm and to keep wild animals away, but it also helped the reception on his television set. Then as man became more advanced and television got better, he brought his fire inside and put it in a fireplace. Why this name was chosen is not known. The means of regulat- ing this type of fire was comparitively easy. The more fuel you added the hotter it got. Then came along some brilliant individual with a steam system to utilize radiators. It was a heating sys- tem such as the one that we have in our place of higher learning. Just how this type of heating system became popular, we do not know. In any event, in each of the rooms of our school there are thermostats that have keys with them. When the key is inserted into the box at the proper place and rotated, the manufacturer of the system says you can regulate the heat. But the only thing that we can see that it does is tire out the fingers and forearm. Now we shall let you in on the real secret of con- trolling our heating system. It all goes back to the days of the cave man. The more coal the janitor puts in the furnace, the more heat we get. The janitor ' s pay re- mains the same. Probably all of you have noticed that there is likely to be less heat on Monday morning. Now the accepted theory about the cause of this is that the school cools down over the week-end, and they do not have time to heat it up again. That is not true. The whole thing hinges on the fact that the janitor has been living-it-up over the week-end, and thus he does not have the necessary vim, vigor, and vitali ty; that old go! go! go! to add enough fuel. Our school also has a very exclusive heating system in that it is advertised to pump hot water or steam in the cold weather and cold water during the hot weather. Well, if you happen to be the fellow who in- stalled our system, do not take offense, but you goofed. You see, we get the cold water in the cold weather and the hot water in the hot weather. Another thing we like about our heating system is that it is so silent in operation. Most of the time you hardly know it is there (when it does not work). We sincerely hope that there is some visual means of warn- ing this school of an A-bomb attack because we certain- ly will never hear the blast. Why, the other day Mr. Miller rang the fire alarm for practice, and only four classes heard it because their radiators did not work. We guess though, when you get right down to it, we do need our heating system rather badly because the teachers will not let us talk enough to fill the building with hot air although it does get rather deep at times. A.H.S. ATTACKED! Late in the afternoon of March 7, 1956, the en- tire Apache Indian nation left its reservation, and a party of about 200 warriors, 40 women, and 4 dog- tired Gila monsters set up their igloos at the Auburn Sanitary Landfill. It is believed they chose this site be- cause of the handy food supply. They had the misfortune to attack A.H.S. just after Skeet Weathers finished with the third period civics class. Well, old Skeet ran home and got his entire supply of horseshoes. By the time he got back, the Indians were fighting a gruesome battle with Pop Furber and his side-kick Sleepy Curt. Pop and Curt were fighting a losing battle, but Skeet cut loose with volley after volley of his mighty shoes and the Indians were dropping left and right. This gave Pop and Sleepy time to mix a paralyzing mix. Then just as Sleepy was spraying an Indian from one side, Grandpa Gumpp gave the Indian a handful of cigars, and A.H.S. got its own cigar store. Well, as any student of Auburn High knows, the Indians lost. The defenders of our fine educational institution suffered only minor injuries. Skeet lost a little hair and a magnified horseshoe. Some say Tom Furber lost his mind during the battle, but if this is true those of us who knew him before think he lost very little. Sleepy Curt gave the most to his school. He lost his book on Einstein ' s Theory of Relativity. . t . I - t . t - 1 - I . t . t - I - I . J - t - t - I - 1 . I - t-.i-.t- 1-1 - I I - t I _ t . I . t . t - - --.

First, I got angina pectoris, followed by arteriosclerosis. Just as I was recovering from these, 1 got tuberculosis, double pnemonia, and phthisis. They gave me hypodermics. Appendicitis was followed by tonsillectomy. These gave way to aphasia and hypertrophic cirrhosis. I com- pletely lost my memory for a while. I know I had diabetes and acute indigestion, besides gastritis, rheumatism, lumbago, and neuritis. I don ' t know how I pulled through it, It was the hardest spellin g test I ' ve ever seen.

I took my coffee break before coming in. Any housewife will tell you that the most difficult meal for her to get is breakfast in bed. Middle Age is that period of life when you are old enough to know better but young enough to keep on doing it. Kay Woodcox was recently seen driving down the main street of Reno, Nevada. Tacked to the back of her car was a string of tin cans and a sign that read Just Single. How did you first become acquainted with your wife? a friend asked Mr. Morgan. I ' m not saying, Mr. Morgan replied, but it cured me of whistling. You ' re only young once! After that you have to think of a new excuse. The government is investigating cigarette claims and may even take filter prints. Then there was the Texan who got engaged and bought his girl a diamond mine.

NOTHING is impossible to a man who doesn ' t have to do it himself. TACT: The ability to describe others as they see themselves. Evening gowns are getting more daring every day. The front is now daring the back. If you think old soldiers just fade away, try getting into your old Army uniform. Suggestion for a new TV show: A panel show in which the panelists interview other panelists and try to guess which panel show they ' re on.
