Foreivord We have chosen the theme of Safari for the 1957 Follies because it so aptly portrays our search or hunt for education through the halls and classrooms of Auburn High School. In our search for education we have not only increased our knowledge but also have developed our personalities and made new friendships. The word Safari often refers to an exploration either with weapons or cameras. We are not actually going to take a trip to the heart of Africa, but by referring to the classes as the different figures in the animal kingdom — Kings of Beasts, Work Horses, Striped Kitties, and Tail Swingers — we hope to flash upon your minds the memories, pictures, and faces of those participating in the Safari. Page 7 Mighty Hunters SUPERINTENDENT H. L. McKENNEY Mr. H. L. McKcnney has served well in his position as superintendent of the Auburn school system since 1923. In conjunction with the school board, he has expended much time and energy in the planning and construction of the new Junior High School, and his able assistance has put into effect a book rental system in the first five grades of our schools. His honesty and devotion to his duties have contributed to his success. PRINCIPAL LLOYD W. MILLER Mr. L. W.

The president has, in the past year, been concerned with many jobs, but most of his time has been spent with the completion of the Junior High School building and in laying plans for a new DeSoto School. Mr. Mclntyre has worked most dil- igently with the school program and has done exceedingly well. TREASURER A. B. LITTLETON Mr. A. B. Littleton is the treasurer of the school board and has filled this position exceptionally well for the past two years. His duties as treasurer include the application and disbursement of funds.

Wildermutb Those poor Democrats Follies on the way Kings of the Beasts Only twelve short years ago the seniors of 1957, in their gay gingham dresses and short trousers, gathered their books under their arms and started down the road of knowledge and success. All remember the obstacles along the way: the hard time they had learning to count, the spelling flunked, the first spanking, the hard- ships of trying to make a dress in home economics, the mixture that exploded in chemistry class, and the struggles with senior economics. Also, the kings remember the king-size mock election held in November. Committees headed by Gary Bowser (Republican) and Julienne Shook (Democrat) held campaigns which were climaxed by electioneering in an assembly program and balloting by all of the high school. (The Republicans won in a landslide.) Then there was the junior-senior play, Music in the Valley, and the Christmas play which was presented by the speech department. How could the annual staff forget the many night sessions necessary for the com- pletion of the Follies of 1957? There were scholarship tests, aptitude tests, and research papers. On the social side there were the first grade crushes, the junior high parties, the first dates with upperclass- men, the Christmas formals, and the junior-senior ban- quets. Now they are traveling down an even more complicated road, the road of life. In the future they will surmount all the obstacles of life as easily as they recovered from the measles, downed those terrible meals prepared in home economics, overcame the handicap of being freshmen, survived the half-time rushes at the football stand, and gave last year ' s banquet. Being guests of the juniors at their banquet was one of the most ple asant experiences of the kings of the beasts. ' The class of 1957 has seen several important occa- sions come and go this year. Rock and roll was the latest craze. A few were even able to see Elvis Presley in person. This year also marked the entrance of the calypso craze. Page 22 What ' ya hidin ' , Shook? And I promise . . . Noiv, Miss Brooks . . Now, you see . . Is it love? Lion kings Ronnie and bis women The main controversies of the year ranged over a wide area. There was every type of discussion from the Suez problem to the amount of homework necessary. As usual the writing and speeches were mainly concern- ed with defending the ideas of the teenager. It was a big year for the kings of the beasts and one they will not soon forget. They will exit from the hallowed halls with shouts of glee although they will cry like first graders when they finally receive that beloved diploma. Now the kings of the beasts are planning for the future: college, armed forces, business, farm, and homemaking. Those who led the class scholastically were: Myrna Haines, Brian Baker, Mary Susan Trippel, and Julia Butz. Several other honors were also received by mem- bers of the Class of 1957. Mary Susan Trippel was chosen to represent the school in the Daughters of the American Revolution contest. Julienne Shook partici- pated in the group and district oratorical contest spon- sored by Rotary International. The winner of the local and county American Legion oratorical contest was Leola Hay. In the American Legion essay contest, Julienne Shook and Mary Virginia Oren received first and second prize, respectively. G ary Bowser received an appointment to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. The capable senior class officers who kept things running smoothly were: David Jordan, president; Rich- ard Smith, vice-president; Sally Burtzner, secretary; and Thomas Tucker, treasurer. Mr. Frank Weathers was their class sponsor. The senior athletes were: football: Brian Baker, John Cutter, Jerry Hess, Carl Hildebrandt, Larry Morr, David Rolf, Jack Shaw, Ronald Shellenbarger, John Sherwood, Richard Smith, William Stouder, Phillip Trout, and Carl Winebrenner; basketball: Brian Baker, Gary Bowser, John Cutter, David Jordan, Larry Morr, Ronald Shellenbarger, and John Sherwood; track: Fred- erick Close, James Coe, John Cutter, Carl Hildebrandt, Edward McDonald, Larry Morr, David Rolf, Ronald Shellenbarger, John Sherwood, Richard Smith, Phillip Trout, and Carl Winebrenner.

Work Horses The work horses got into the harness and proved themselves worthy of being upperclassmen right away. These hard workers soon learned the knack of selling Christmas cards and working in the junior stand at the football games. They also sold tickets for a bicycle at the DeKalb County Free Fall Fair. The workers put on their pretties and styled spring fashions at a style show. These worthwhile projects made funds possible for the staging of the traditional junior-senior banquet. This year it was held at the Hobby Ranch House in Fort Wayne, May 11. Next year the work horses will be ready to assume senior responsibilities. The juniors were led by Arthur Albert, president; Fredrick Brown, vice-president; Natalie Bair, secre- tary; and Lynda Dunn, treasurer. Mr. Thomas Furber was their sponsor. The honor students were Natalie Bair, Lynda Dunn, Roberta Holdeman, Norman Carrico, William Eden, and Suzanne Schramm. The junior strongmen were: football: Arthur Al- bert, Donald Allison, Fredrick Brown, Charles Coffin, David Cserep, Richard George, Dennis Ketzenberger, Michael Long, David Magnuson, Jack McAninch, Rich- ard Morr, Edwin Perkins, Billy Rediger, Ronald Shull, Max Simanton, Jeri Walter, and Robert Winebrenner; basketball: Jacob Blevins, Richard George, David Mag- nuson, and Richard Morr; track: Arthur Albert, Don- ald Allison, Jacob Blevins, Fredrick Brown, Jerry Car- mer, Charles Coffin, David Cserep, William Eden, Richard George, Edwin Jones, Dennis Ketzenberger, Michael Long, David Magnuson, Jack McAninch, Rich- ard Morr, Edwin Perkins, Billy Rediger, Ronald Shull, Max Simanton, and Robert Winebrenner. The junior lassess who helped cheer our teams to victory were Sarah Kinsey and Jane Gingrich. Page 3 7 could have danced all night If he only knew Class officers My, how they ' re Sign mine, please? Shave and a haircut, two hits Striped Kitties In the fall of 195 5 the striped kitties entered Au- burn High School. They passed through the usual fresh- man routine of bewilderment, noise, and mistakes. The striped kitties are now beginning to get that upperclass spirit. There is the sudden realization that someone is younger than they. This year brought an in- troduction to the comedian of A.H.S., Pop Furber, and a chance for the luckier ones to demolish the driver ' s ed car. Many kitties who thought they had no writing ability were amazed with the masterpieces they produced when they attempted to scratch out autobiographies. They were introduced to the historical events of the world. In junior business they learned the correct way to put their paw prints on checks. The kitties found many chances to have fun outside of class. They en- gaged in many activities, and they also stages two of those extravaganzas known as class parties. Teen-Y was managed entirely by striped kitties. Of course, the boy kitties had their introduction and initia- tion into Hi-Y. In summary, the striped kitties purred in many activities. They are looking forward to the presentation of next year ' s junior-senior banquet. The executives of the class were David Gorny, pres- ident; Kenneth Webb, vice-president; Melanie Myers, secretary; and Marilyn Dennis, treasurer. Mr. William Deck was chosen to sponsor the class. Mrs. Forrest Gerig and Mrs. Glenn Rieke were the class mothers. The scholastic-type kitties were Sylvia Grogg, Rebecca Treadwell, Roger Goodwin, James Jackson, Charles Laurie, and Karen Koeppe. Those who swished the nets were Abe Ochstein, Richard Reuter, Michael Crowley, Charles Laurie, Da- vid Liddell, Dale Souder, Preston Stackhouse, Roger Goodwin, John Mclnturf, and Eric Rieke. The grid- iron heroes were Eric Rieke, Lee Allison, Jack Cook, Arkie Haiflich, Joe Hurni, Eugene Link, Robert Moore, Abe Ochstein, Wayne Smith, Preston Stackhouse, Lionel Winslow, and Roger Goodwin. Page 3 1 Sitting in the balcony Head tail swingers Bashful, Basbore? Learning at the library Trip to the moon Monkey shines Happy birthday to you Tail Swingers The tail-swingers, 118 strong, dropped into Auburn High School ' s interior in the fall for their first glimpses of high school life. They learned to dissect grasshoppers and manipulate x ' s and y ' s. They learned the lan- guage and customs of Rome and France. They ransacked their tree homes for newspaper nameplates and mast- heads. Upperclassmen were held in awe at first, but the growing tail-swingers soon got into the swing of things. The holiday formal, tourney priority, and steady dates became topics of interest. Clubs with their meetings, meetings, meetings began to absorb excess energy. Now at the end of their first year, those monkeys have survived the rugged tests prescribed for the tail-swingers and are on their way to being striped kitties. The governing power fell upon Ned Short, presi- dent; Dale Cochard, vice-president; Joyce Grosh, secre- tary; and Janet Hoodelmier, treasurer. They chose Mr. Robert Love as their c lass sponsor and Mrs. Ben Short and Mrs. Darrell Grosh as class mothers. Those who used their brain power most were Larry Beuret, Jayne Bussell, Sandra Doden, and Charles Lange. Those who made their initial try at high school foot- ball were Ned Short, David Brandon, Timothy Brown, Dale Cochard, Robert Conner, Steven Davidson, Jon Feagler, Michael Frownfelter, Joseph Goldberg, William Heffley, Charles Lange, Richard Moore, Gerald Rey- nolds, Herbert Thomas, and Larry Yarlot. The freshmen had their own basketball team this year. The successful crew were Timothy Brown, Dale Cochard, Steven Da- vidson, John Feagler, Richard Moore, Herbert Thomas, Thomas Slick, Warren Wiedenhoeft, and Roger Souder. Page 3 2 •■■$.?

Frederick Close Associate Editor Mary Susan Trippel Advertising Manager Judith Hamilton Art Editor Brian Baker Photographer .... David Jordan The Follies of 1957 After twelve years of hard climbing, we, the Class of 19 57, have finally reached the peak of our aspira- tions. Our ascension from plateau to plateau has been interspersed with various extra-curricular activities such as participating in our first ball game, preparing for and attending our first banquet, trying out for the class play, and doing many other things which will be brought to your mind as you travel through the Follies of ' 57. Slapping glue on the pictures . . . writing articles . . . taking pictures . . . work and more work . . . long hours . . . such is a resume of the activities which the Follies staff labored through. Fred, Judy, Barbara, and Marsha did their best to keep us out of the red and did very well on the financial end of the book. Brian did a splendid job with the art work. Dave was a real camara enthusiast. Susan was always ready to help, and Julia and Myrna compiled class facts with the greatest of accuracy. Sally and Melinda kept data as time marched on and recorded the school life of 1957. Gary and Ann deserve a high score for their coverage of athletic events. Julie exhibited her unusual writing ability by reporting the activities of the different clubs. If you do not laugh in some part of this book, it will not be the fault of Jim and Ginger, the humor editors. Keith retold the story of Music in the Valley with a definite vividness. Judy very calmly collected copy. John was the member of the staff who noted the activities of the band and chorus. Joyce and Paul were valuable as vocational editors. Lynda and Bill played their roles this year as observers but will get into action next year. It has been fun, though, working on this book to make it one which portrays the students in their search for education. At one of the first business meetings of the senior class, a motion was made to produce an an- nual. The motion was carried and in reality work began. The remainder of the staff was elected, and assignments were made. However, last spring, preliminary work — laying out the rough dummy copy and taking pictures — had begun. None of this could have been possible without the help of many. First of all we wish to thank Mr. Lloyd Miller, our principal, who spent many long hours help- ing us assemble all the parts of the annual. Mr. Robert Love also deserves our thanks, for he so willingly gave of his time and effort to the perfecting of the write-ups. Thanks to Davis Studio, the task of taking and develop- ing pictures was superbly accomplished. Through Mr. Thomas Broom of the Fort Wayne Engraving Com- pany, these pictures were collected and beautifully en- graved. Mr. Jack Bundy aided us in selecting a suitable cover for our theme, and this cover was prepared by S. K. Smith Company. Our efforts were transformed by the Auburn Printing Company and The Heckman Bindery into this book of fond high school memories. Finally, we wish sincerely to thank the merchants and businessmen of our community who have purchased advertising space in our annual. For without their generosity, the annual could not have become a reality. The future will bring new faces and changes to the movements of Auburn High School, but you will have this record of the things you did and the friends you knew, which will bring golden memories for years to come. With this purpose in mind, we, the Class of 19 57, present the Follies to you. — Leola Hay Page 42 Humor Editors James Moody Mary Virginia Oren Dramatic Editor Keith Patrick Copy Editor Judith Blue Music Editor John Cutter Vocational Editors Joyce Refner Paul Smith Junior Editor Lynda Dunn Junior Business Manager William Eden MINOR STAFF Class Editors Julia Butz Myrna Haines School Life Editors Sally Burtzner Melinda Lumm Athletic Editors Gary Bowser Ann Vallieu Assf.

Tri-Hi-Y Tri-Hi-Y is an organization of fifty-three junior and senior girls whose purpose is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and com- munity high standards of Christian character. The corps of officers this year was: Mary Susan Trippel, president; Julia Butz, vice-president; Sally Burtzner, secretary; Julienne Shook, treasurer; Marsha Heffley, chaplain; and Mary Drerup, sergeant-at-arms. Miss Marcia Ruddick was the club advisor, and Mrs. Gene Holdeman was the Y sponsor. The early activities of the Tri-Hi-Y were the for- mal and informal initiation of new members. Several speakers supplied the club with varied and educational programs. Mr. Cecil Barhydt showed his slides of a fall hunting trip in Canada; Mrs. Jean Gieser demonstrated different ways to wrap Christmas packages; Miss Mar- cia Ruddick showed her slides of Europe; Mrs. Don Folk gave a talk about nursing; Mr. Richard Fink dis- cussed heart disease and instructed the members for a house-to-house canvass for donations during the Heart Fund Drive; and Mrs. Fred Quance discussed alcohol and narcotics. Three joint meetings were held with Hi-Y. At Christmas the clubs went caroling together; they had a film on world service; and they conducted a formal induction of their new officers. In January they held a tobogganing party at Pokagon State Park. At the last meeting in April Tri-Hi-Y held a potluck, and the new officers were elected. The charity services of Tri-Hi-Y included a dona- tion to CARE for Hungarian relief and the canvassing of homes for the Heart Fund drive. Mary Susan Trippel was delegate to the Fall Con- ference at Fort Wayne. The organization sponsored a Thanksgiving dance and also entered a car in the parade at the DeKalb County Fair. Page 45 Plebes This year the Plebes Club was organized to provide a Y club for freshmen boys. The club is in effect a junior Hi-Y club, but the name Plebes was chosen to mark it as an organization for underclass- men and to avoid confusion with the Hi-Y. The officers were: Wil- liam Heffley, president; Harvey Harris, vice-president; Joseph Gar- ceau, secretary; David Brandon, treasurer; John Pinnington, chap- lain; Timothy Brown, sergeant-at-arms; and William McClellan, news reporter. Mr. Herbert Smuk was their club adviser, and Mr. Gene Holdeman was their Y sponsor. The club had an excellent program schedule. Judge Harold Stump told about his experiences in the F. B. I.; Mr. Herbert Smuk, their sponsor, showed his slides of Alaska; Mr. V. E. Roberts showed his movies of the Arctic radar system; the Rev. LeRoy Buu ck spoke about his missionary work in China; Mr. Gene Holdeman showed a film about the Indianapolis 500 mile race; and the Rev. Peter Soudah spoke about the Holy Land. At Christmas the club went caroling with the Teen-Y. In January the Plebes sponsored a party at the Canteen. Each member and his guest were invited to submit a page of handwriting to Mrs. Leo Hildebrandt for analysis. The last two meetings were open to the oncoming freshmen to acquaint them with the club and to elect officers for the ensuing year. Next year the Plebes will be a freshman and sophomore organi- zation. The size of the Hi-Y Club and the Plebes Club makes necessary the formation of a freshman and sophomore club and a junior and senior organization. This gives the boys experience in two clubs as does the Teen-Y and Tri-Hi-Y for the girls. The Plebes are planning for and greatly anticipating another successful year. The Plebes Club is the first Y organization in Auburn for freshmen boys. The organization of this club makes Hi-Y fellow- ship open to any Auburn High School student who wants admission.

Teen-Y The Teen-Y is a freshman and sophomore girls ' club affiliated with the national Y.M.C.A. Teen-Y can boast of a mighty and very active membership of eighty-four girls. Their officers were: Mary Ann Gerig, president; Diane Copeland, vice-president; Sylvia Grogg, secretary; Janice Scott, treasurer; Darlene Brown, chaplain; and Kay frank, sergeant-at-arms. Their Y sponsor was Mrs. Gene Holdeman, and their parent sponsor was Mrs. Forrest Gerig. A candlelight induction service was held for the new members at their first meeting, and Mrs. Charles Overmeyer was their speaker. Teen-Y had a very interesting schedule of programs. Mrs. Carl Lindbloom showed slides on Hawaii; Mrs. Franklin Bartels and Mrs. Jean Gieser demonstrated how to wrap Christmas gifts; Mrs. Robert Mendenhall discussed and demonstrated good grooming; Mrs. Leo Hildebrandt gave a talk on handwriting analysis; and Mrs. Don Folk spoke about nursing and nurses ' training.

Some of the members of Teen-Y went to the Meth- odist Church to hear the Jordanaires, a very talented and popular vocal group. The organization sponsored its annual Sadie Hawkins Dance for all high school students. They also decorated a car, entered it in the parade at the DeKalb County Fair, and won a ten dollar prize. Mary Ann Gerig and Diane Copeland attended officers ' training camp at Delphi during the summer. Mary Ann Gerig, Janice Scott, Sylvia Grogg, and Darlene Brown attended the Fall Conference at Fort Wayne. These conferences helped the officers guide the club through a successful year. First row: S.

Besides furnishing en- tertainment at half time and during the football and basketball games, they took part in many parades, con- tests, and concerts. The band marched in the opening night parade and the horse parade of the DeKalb County Free Fall Fair. They also marched in the Grand Finale Parade on Sat- urday and received seventh place out of thirty com- peting bands. The band then began working for the district marching contest sponsored by the Northern Indiana School Band, Orchestra, and Vocal Association, but complications came up at the last minute and the band was unable to go. They marched in the Auburn- Cord-Duesenberg parade that climaxed a big convention held in Auburn. The band then put away their marching shoes and started on concert material. They played for the an- nual Christmas program which was presented in co- operation with the speech classes and the chorus. On March 30 they entered the district playing contest at Concord Township, Indiana, where they received a good rating. On May 3 the band gave a concert at the new Junior High Gymnasium. They also played for commencement exercises again this year. Several individuals received high recognition at the district solo and ensemble contest at Fort Wayne. Natalie Bair played a clarinet solo; James Moody played a cornet solo; Glenna Trout, Natalie Bair, and Sylvia Grogg played a clarinet trio; and Glenna Trout and Natalie Bair played a clarinet duet. A group of able students were elected to serve as band officers for the school year of 1956-57. Those elected were John Cutter, president; Natalie Bair, vice- president; Maria Gustafson, secretary; and Sandra Sue Beber, treasurer. Page 48 Chorus The chorus under the direction of Miss Frances Hewitt was extremely busy this year. This was Miss Hewitt ' s first year at Auburn, and it was also the first year that there were boys in the chorus. Those brave boys were Charles Witham, Frederick Barkey, Allen Peters, James Pommert, Larry Stebing and Larry Coop- er. One of the many activities of the chorus was the presentation of a radio broadcast over radio station WKTL, Kendallville. The songsters sang at the junior- senior play, the Christmas program, a Parent-Teachers Association meeting, the spring concert, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. The triple trio also was active. This group consisted of Linda Jones, Sandra Doden, Carolyn Boren, Cath- erine Cobler, Patty Thomas, Marsha Eisner, Jacqualine Thomas, Kalene Axtell, and Phyllis Groves. The trio sang at the junior-senior play, the Christmas program, a Parent-Teachers Association meeting, and the Found- er ' s Day program. They also presented a program on radio station WKTL, sang at the spring concert, and sang at the district solo and ensemble contest where they received an excellent rating. The chorus had some soloists who were featured at their various performances. These individuals were Marlene Welly, Jacqualine Thomas, Jo Ann Kruse, and Allen Peters. Larry Cooper tickled the ivories in ac- companiment to both the chorus and the triple trio. An honor award system was practiced by the chorus. Chorus members received points for being at regular rehearsals, singing in the spring concert, at baccalaureate and commencement, and at the Christmas program. Participation in music contests, taking private lessons, being present at special rehearsals, being a class officer, and getting a new member also added points. The upper five per cent of the senior members received honor awards at the spring concert. The awards consisted of white sweaters with a letter and chevrons on each. The officers that very ably ran the chorus were Linda Jones, president; Marlene Welly, vice-president; Bonnie McCann, secretary; Patty Thomas, librarian; Judith Smith, reporter; and Allen Peters, podium manager.

The members of the club are juniors and seniors who are considering the field of teaching as their profession. The officers elected for the year 1956-1957 were: Myrna Haines, president; Mary Susan Trippel, vice-president; Julienne Shook, secretary; Judith Ham- ilton, treasurer; Janet Baker, parliamentarian; Roberta Steininger, historian; Anne Klock, librarian; and Sandra Silberg, song leader. Miss Gladys Duguid was their able sponsor. During the second semester the members spent one hour every week practice teaching in grades one to six. Often they would assist teachers by helping them grade papers. These activities help students decide whether they are really interested in teaching. A certificate is presented each member at graduation stating the number of points he has earned while in F.T.A. These points are trans- ferable to the college Future Teacher Clubs. Points may be earned by one hour of service, such as assisting teachers and assisting parent- teacher groups by ushering, or appearing on programs. Teaching in church school, ushering in church, singing and practicing in the choir, and assisting in community drives such as Red Cross, polio, heart, a nd cancer drives also earns points. Extra-curricular work such as assisting the school librarian, working on the school paper, working on assembly programs, and working on the school play are the most common ways of earning points. One may also earn points by reading certain books and pamphlets. Scholastic standing is also important and being on the ten per cent or Follies honor roll merits points. The meetings, except for the induction of officers and new mem- bers were held in the homes of members. The activities of F.T.A. were a tour of the new Junior High School building and the present- ing of a program before the Angola F. T. A. Club. Two guest speak- ers gave interesting talks. Mrs. Esther Campbell spoke about the education of retarded children, and Mrs. Jay Morris discussed educational customs in Norway. Miss Duguid, the club sponsor, showed her slides of the eastern United States. A panel discussion was held about college curriculum and expenses. Social meetings were held at Christmas and Valentine ' s Day, and a picnic wes held the last meeting. First row: S. Ennis, S. Knauer, C. Hildebrandt, P. Trout, J. Cutter, S. Burtzner, L.

This year members wrote to pen pals in Japan, France, England, the Philip- pine Islands, the West Indies, Switzerland, Denmark, and Italy. The club has a total of thirty-six members. Their officers were: Keith Patrick, president; John Cutter, vice-president; Diann Bauman, secretary; Jeanne Bassett, treasurer; and Martha McComas, sergeant-at- arms. Miss Marcia Ruddick was the sponsor of the club. Some new policies were made this year, and a new constitution was adopted that provided dues for membership. Members are re- quired to write at least one letter during their monthly meeting. The purpose of the organization is to promote friendly relations with other countries. Many times the members would read interesting letters to the rest of the group. Often gifts of native origin were ex- changed between pen pals. The typing room would often 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 other ' s letters and make suggestions for improvement. Much of the fun came from sharing information. The special programs presented were travel programs. These helped the club better understand the students to whom they wrote by seeing their cities, their country, their customs, and their native dress. Miss Ruddick showed slides of her tour through Europe, and Wayne Roth- geb of WKJG-TV showed slides of his bicycle trip through Europe. Social meetings were held at Christmas, and a very interesting potluck with foreign foods was held in the spring. Although the club is more commonly known at Auburn High School as the Foreign Correspondnece Club, its official name is the Mitsue Ueda Club. Mitsue Ueda is the name of a Japanese girl who wrote to Auburn High School three years ago requesting pen pals for herself and her friends. Since then, names have been obtained from other countries, and new foreign relations have been established. The Gitta Sereny Club had adopted two Austrian schools and sent food packages and letters overseas previous to the Mitsue Ueda Club. First row: L. Beuret, W. McClellan, A. Vallieu, K.

Miss Carol Dawson devotes a great deal of time to keeping the various reference shelves in order. The librarians who signed magazines and books in and out of the study hall were: Leola Hay, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and Louanne Blickenstaff , Wed- nesday and Friday, first period; Mary Manon, second period; Shirle y Croy, third period; Karen Stump, fourth period; Mary Susan Trippel, fifth period; and Julienne Shook, sixth period. Their assistants were: Myrna Haines, Judith Blue, Marilyn Dennis, Sharon Cochard, Martha McComas, Catherine Cobler, and Sylvia Grogg. These girls served in the absence of the regular librarians. In the biology classes Jean Smith, Susan Bashore and Judith Favinger kept track of the books and period- icals. Dale Cochard was the agriculture librarian, and Jeri Walter was librarian of the Future Farmers of America. John Cutter and Donald McNutt held the tremendous job of keeping the band files in order, while Patty Thomas kept the chorus music well or- ganized. Anne Klock had charge of all the books and pamphlets for the Future Teachers Club. In addition to reference books, almanacs, atlases, and fiction, the study hall has a busy magazine rack which keeps students well-informed on current events. Some of these magazines are then kept on file to supply students with information on current event assignments. The experience these students gain finding informa- tion here in our library will be a great asset to them in the future. The librarians deserve a great deal of thanks for the time they spend for our convenience. First row. D. McNutt, L. Hay, S. Croy, J. Favinger, S. Bashore, Miss Dawson, J. Smith, C. Cobler.

Kessle Booster Club Much applause is due the Booster Club for the won- derful job it has done for our entertainment this year. It was their diligent efforts selling concessions at the basketball games this year that financed our much appreciated assembly programs. This year ' s manager, Mary Susan Trippel, and her assistant manager, Cather- ine Cobler, along with Mrs. Helen Morgan, the spon- sor, donated much of their time in guiding this club to its fifth successful year. During September we were privileged to see Mr. Ralph Melville, a glass blowing expert, and Pat O ' Con- nor, a veteran race track driver who impressed upon us the importance of safe driving. October brought to us Ray F. Monsalvatge, Jr., who gave a lecture on How to Get Ahead. During November we enjoyed three speakers: Dr. George Davis, who recited the poems of James Whitcomb Riley; Dr. Douglas Silverton, who asked the thought provoking question, What Have You to Declare? ; and Mr. De Yip Loo, who spoke about the customs and colorful life of the Chinese ancient history. January brought Mr. Bob Wood and his chalk drawings. The very talented Lohmann Trio entertained us with their music in February. The assembly programs we have are not in compe- tition with television but are supposed to be both edu- cational and entertaining. The talent which comes to us is first class and is obtained through the School Assembly Service in Chicago, Illinois, and the Antrim Bureau in Glenside, Pennsylvania. Each Booster Club member receives an award for his faithful service. First year members receive a letter A with Booster written on it; second year mem- bers receive a bronze pin; and a gold pin is awarded to third y ear members. The first fourth year award to be given was presented to Mary Susan Trippel. Yes, we are greatful to the Booster Club for their wonderful programs as well as for the popcorn and ice cream we consume at the ball games. Page J 3 The Future Homemakers of America F.H.A. stands for Future Homemakers of America — an in- corporated non-profit organizatoin. Toward New Horizons is the motto of the F.H.A. and expresses the purpose of the organization. The club colors, red and white, are symbolic of youth and purity. Its flower, the red rose, is an emblem of vibrant and glowing health. The club had a very successful year. Under the supervision of Mrs. Larry Stomm, F.H.A. advisor, the club had these elected officers: Judith Wilmot, president; Bonnie McCann, vice-president; Sue Don- aldson, secretary, Beverly Brown, treasurer; Judith Pickard, reporter; Sally Openlander, parliamentarian; Rebecca King, historian; Jacqua- line Thomas, song leader, and Gloria Woodcock, photographer. Many thanks also go to the club mothers, Mrs. Royce Clark and Mrs. Walter Pickard. On November 20 a meeting was held to repair toys as gifts for worthy children of the community. On December 18 another meeting was held to distribute the toys and to go caroling. The club held a bake sale on February 2 to raise funds for differ- ent uses in the club. On February 5 a skating party was held at the Silver Moon Rink. On February 14 the F.F.A. and F.H.A. clubs had a joint Valen- tine Party. All who attended had an enjoyable time. A formal banquet was held in May to install new officers for the year. First row: B. McCann, J. Pickard, S. Donaldson, B. Brown, Mrs. Stomm, S. Open- lander, J. Wilmot, J. Thomas . Second row: C.

The Future Farmers of America Tomorrow ' s agriculture rests on the achievements of the Future Farmers of America organizatoin. There are twenty-nine members in the Auburn chapter with Mr. William Deck as adviser. A meeting was held each month during the school year. At this meeting the F. F. A. had either a speaker or movies on subjects related to agriculture. After each meeting there was recreation which usually consisted of basketball and volleyball. Paul Smith and Richard Smith sent in their three year records as applications for the Hoosier Farmer degree. Phillip Platter and Jack Thomas represented Auburn at the F. F. A. convention at Purdue held April 4, 5, and 6. The advisory board, composed of John Smith, John Snyder, Wes- ton Walter, Cecil Woodcox, Harold Gengnagel, and Donald Johnson, sponsored an all-day field trip to Michigan State College in April. The last meeting of the year was the father and son banquet which was held on May 2, 1957. The club projects which were carried out through the year were selling jello, pest contest, and a swine project. The officers of the year were Paul Smith, president; Richard Smith, vice-president; John Sherwood, secretary; Arthur Albert, treasurer; and Jeri Walter, sentinel. The boys who received green hand degrees this year were: Kenneth Buttermore, Dale Cochard, Michael DePew, William Heffley, Ronald McLaughlin, Charles Mitchell, and Billy Rediger.

The Girls ' Athletic Association The Girls ' Athletic Association has been a very ac- tive organization and is just as important to the girls as all of the sports are to the boys. Its purpose is to promote better health, sportsmanship, and leadership. G.A.A. is open to any girl who wishes to join. The meetings this year were held on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays after school. Some of the sports that have a part in G.A.A. are tennis, Softball, volleyball, basketball, swimming, bowl- ing, shuffleboard, and badminton. On April 6, a volleyball playday was held by the Auburn G.A.A. Butler, Angola, and Fremont were asked to participate. On this day all of the girls with outstanding ability in volleyball gathered togeth- er to show their skills as a team. To have her picture in the annual, a G.A.A. mem- ber must earn at least fifty points a year. She must also attend each different activity at least six times to receive any credit. At the banquet at the close of the year the awards were given. Each freshman who had at least fifty points received a chevron; each sophomore who had a total of 150 points received a numeral; each junior who had a total of 2 50 points received a letter. Each senior who had a total of 3 50 points through- out her four years and who had passed a series of ten skill tests in ten different sports was awarded the Indiana League of Girls ' Athletic Associations plaque. In March the G.A.A. members chose an outstanding freshman of the year. This year Carol Hardy was chosen. The sportsmanship plaque was awarded to Ann Vallieu, a senior. These honors were awarded for showing the best interest, sportsmanship, and skill. The G.A.A. officers for 19 56-57 were: Ann Val- lieu, president; Mary Manon, vice-president; Anne Klock, secretary; and Anne Drerup, treasurer. Miss Barbara Bosse, who did a wonderful job, was the spon- sor for the club.

The Devils ' Journal Devils ' Journal copy due today is a reminder often heard on the morning announcements. Much work is done by the staff from this announcement to the selling of the papers Friday at four o ' clock. These are the people who made possible the publication of an issue every two weeks. The major staff consisted of: editor-in-chief, Vir- ginia Oren; assistant editor, Roberta Holdeman; business manager, Mary Susan Trippel; and exchange secretary, Sally Burtzner. The minor staff consisted of: typists, Melinda Lumm, Barbara Rainier, Jane Draggoo, Leola Hay, and Sharon Cochard; printer, Donald Mc- Nutt; artists, Mary Jane McKeon, Mary Ann Gerig, Diann Bauman, Mary Cline, Sheron Conner, Judy Aubrey, and Julia Butz; news re- porters, Jeanne Bassett, Sue Heitz, Lynda Dunn, Myrna Haines, Roberta Steininger, Mary Ann Davidson, Nancy Neuenschwander, Lois Lemper, and Roger Goodwin; sports, John Cutter and Phillip Trout; band, Natalie Bair and William Kruse; Tri-Hi-Y, Judith Blue; Hi-Y, John Cutter; Teen-Y, Nancy Goe; feature columns, Marsha HefFley, Judith Hamilton, Jane Gingrich, Karen Jordan, Rita Souder, Diane Copeland, Mary Ann Miller, Janet Baker, Martha McComas, Sandra Ennis, and James Harper; clubs, Louanne Blickenstaff, Glenna Trout, Linda Alley, and Ronald Bassett; deviltry, Julienne Shook, Mary Drerup, Susan Knauer, Jane Ketel, Melanie Myers, Karen Kay Koeppe, and Joyce Grosh; humor, Mary Shook and Karen Stump. The success of the Devils ' Journal may also be attributed to Miss Carol Dawson who spent a great deal of time proof reading, rewriting, and printing. The Devils ' Journal hr.s a threefold purpose, the most prominent being the recording of news and views today for fond memories to- morrow. Copies are put on file in the office for future reference and are very helpful in compiling information for the Follies. Through the exchange secretary ideas are exchanged with other schools. Many pupils were thrilled and proud to have their essays, short stories, poems, and opinions publishd for friendly approval or criticism. The newspaper proved to be a remarkably accurate cross section of the feelings and abilities of the student body of Auburn High School. Auburn High School owes much to this ambitious staff and its sponsor for their efforts in publishing the Devils ' Journal. First row: J. Moody, D. McNutt, S. Burtzner, S. Trippel, M. Oren, R.

Music In The Valley The 19 5 6 junior-senior play was in the form of a story told by Mrs. Annie Morgan (Leola Hay) to prospective buyers, Mrs. Whiting (Roberta Holdeman) and her son and daughter (Dennis McCammon and Julienne Shook), who had inquired about the former owner of the house. The story centers around Richard James (William Eden), whose love for his fellow man was overshadowed by noth ng except his love for God. Mr. James showed how, with God ' s help, a person can endure many heart-breaks. Richard James ' s son David (Keith Patrick) is fired, much to the shock of Mrs. Morgan and her sister (Natale Bair), from his school teaching position in Chicago because he has denounced Christianity. This also comes as a great shock to Leslie Grayson (Julia Butz) wh) is engaged to David. It is Leslie ' s sister (Marlene Welly) and her boy friend Alfred (Philip Beck) who provide most of the laughs during the play. The day that David arrives home, Pearl Harbor is attacked and David goes off to war only to find death. Mr. James then worries about his son because he thinks his son died a heathen; but by means of a note written by his son and a dream which Mr. James has, his faith in his son is restored; he knows that hi; son died a Christian. This brings the story back to the present, and it is here thit Helen discovers that Bud is her one-time fiance whom she thought to be dead. They both want to buy the house, and in the end Bud buys it for h s bride-to-be. Other characters who enter the story are Mrs. O ' Flaherty (Mary Manon), an Irish woman who worries about the war; Dutch Gos; (Jack McAninch), a boy who joins up; John Barr (James Moody), Mr. James ' lawyer and a heathen until the war changes his vision on life; Dr. Wentworth (James Coe), the minister, Rosalie Winters (Jeanne Bassett), who also serves her country; Eric Smith (James Pommert), who knew David in the service; and his brother Bud (David Jordan), who was a great camera enthusiast. Much of the success of the play is due to the splendid work of the crew. Donald McNutt was the and Richard Morr acted as business manager. Prompters were Linda Jones and Marsha Heffley. Much credit should be given to Mrs. Helen Morgan and Melinda Lumm for their fine work in memorable play. stage manager, directing this First row: P. Beck, M. Welly. Second row. N. Bair, L. Hay, W.

VIRGIL LANDRY Football and Basketball Coach, and Assistant Track Coach MR. ROBERT WALTER Track Coach and Assistant Basketball and Football Coach MR. HERBERT SMUK Assistant Football Coach MR. KEITH LEGGETT Assistant Football Coach The Auburn Athletic Association Almost every student in the Auburn High School is a member of the Auburn Athletic Association. It includes members of the basketball, football, and track teams, their managers, students who purchased season tickets during x. 2 past year, yell leaders, and band members. The A. A. A. is one of the oldest organizations in Auburn High School and was organized to interest students in athletics and to promote s:hool spirit and clean sportsmanship of those who play or attend the different sports. There were three new coaches this year. Mr. Virgil Landry, the football and basketball coach and assistant track coach, came to Auburn from South Bend Wash- ington-Clay where he was head football and track coach. Mr. Landry attended Butler University. Mr. Robert Walter, the track coach and assistant basketball and football coach, formerly was the basketball coach in Pleasant Lake. He attended Manchester College and Indiana University. Mr. Keith Leggett, the assistant football coach, previously taught school in Allen county and currently teaches the fifth grade in Auburn. Page 62 Pep sessions were held in the gym before some of the most important games of the season. One of these important games was the game with an old rival, Gar- rett. This year, for the sake of enthusiasm, a small train was constructed, and riding on this train was a mighty Devil illustrating the trouncing Auburn would give Garrett. After the yell leaders, Diane Copeland, Sarah Kinsey, and Jane Gingrich, gave the students a good workout, either the coach, Mr. Landry, or the assistant coach, Mr. Walter, would give a talk to boost the stu- dents ' enthusiasm. On every occasion the president, David Jordan, was expected to have a joke to tell. Football, basketball, and track equipment is the largest regular expense of the A. A. A. New equipment must be bought each year, and old equipment must be repaired or discarded. The A. A. A. furthered plans for new blocks of bleachers to be constructed at the foot- ball field to replace the worn, hazardous bleachers. A dehumidifier was also purchased to keep the football suits dry. A press box was also built for the convenience of newspaper reporters, radio announcers, and public address announcers. David Jordan was elected president of the A. A. A. and Joseph Shellenbarger was chosen secretary. Both of these officers did a splendid job in carrying on their work for this organization. Faculty treasurer was Miss Mary Catherine Wood, and Mr. Lloyd Miller was the athletic director.

Coach Landry led the Red and Black against the Decatur Yellow Jackets. The Yellow Jackets seemed to prove that ex- perience is a good teacher by beating Auburn 21-0. Decatur ' s veterans and a polished offense were the de- ciding factors. After Decatur ' s first score, things seem- ed to brighten for Auburn when Arthur Albert nearly broke away on the kickoff. After that, the Auburn offense was stifled as they managed only four first downs. Two of these came as little Roger Goodwin, substitute quarterback, squirmed his way through the defense. Even though plagued by inexperience and fumbles, which proved very costly, Auburn showed a fine fighting spirit. A veteran Kendallville Comet team rolled into Auburn on September 14 to engage the Mcintosh eleven. Auburn looked much improved although they absorbed their second loss, 12-6. The chief thorn in Auburn ' s side during the evening was Jerry Brown, who virtually carried the Comets to victory with his own efforts. The score, however, was no indication of the statistics because the Auburn crew gained 188 yards rushing to Kendallville ' s 77 yards and nine first downs for Auburn to three for the Red and Yellow. Arthur Albert carried the oval into paying territory for Au- burn ' s lone score. The loss was overshadowed by a worse tragedy as two Auburn boys, Richard and Larry Morr, both were lost for the remainder of the season because of shoulder injuries. Auburn took to the road for the first time this season when they traveled to engage the Bluffton Tigers. Auburn unveiled a new backfield this game because of injuries and other difficulties. Little Roger Goodwin started at quarterback with John Sherwood and Arthur Albert at halfback and Ronald Shull in the fullback slot. The Tigers seemed to have too much of everything for Auburn as we received our third loss in our third outing, 41-12. Auburn ' s two scores came as Arthur Albert grabbed a pass from Ronald Shull and John Sher- wood scored from close in on a run. Auburn ' s first score was set up when David Rolf recovered a fumble. Things looked darker because the next team on the agenda was the rugged Cadets of Concordia. The Concordia Cadets defeated the Auburnites for the first time in the series between the two teams. A big veteran-packed eleven was fielded by the Fort Wayne Lutherans as they ground out a 32-18 victory. Many were surprised when underdog Auburn displayed its best ground attack. The halftime score was 12-12, but victory slipped from the Mclntoshers ' grasp when the Cadets took to the air. Auburn ' s scoring was evenly distributed among the big three in the backfield of Arthur Albert, John Sherwood, and Ronald Shull, each with one touchdown. A new face also appeared again in the starting backfield when Charles Coffin took a halfback spot. Auburn ' s record suffered its fifth mark on the wrong side of the ledger in five starts. This time it was the Nappanee Bulldogs who enjoyed the 14-7 win at our expense. Auburn showed great improvement and looked well even in defeat because the team displayed hustle First row: M. Frownfelter, J. Goldberg, D. Cserep, R. Goodwin, D. Magnuson, A. Albert, B. Rediger, R. Wine- brenner, L. Allison, R. Conner, S. Thimlar. Second row: Mr. Landry, R. Cline, J. Cutter, C. Hildebrandt, J. Shaw, W. Stouder, D. Rolf, P. Trout, J. Sherwood, R. Smith, C. Winebrenner, M. Simanton, R. Shull, Mr. Smuk. Third row: Mr. Walter, A. Haiflich, R. Morr, E. Rieke, J. McAninch, M. Long, J. Walter, L. Morr, B. Baker, J. Hess, F. Brown, D. Allison, R. George, C. Coffin, D. Ketzenberger, Mr. Leggett. Fourth row: W. Heffley, T. Brown, L. Yarlot, R. Moore, N. Short, E. Link, J. Hurni, W. Smith, R. Moore, J. Reynolds, P. Stackhouse, D. Cochard, J. Feagler, J. Cook, H. Thomas, M. Boger, A. Ochstein. f m and aggressiveness. The Mclntoshers need ed just a few more breaks for a different story. Both teams were almost even statistically. Once more another new face appeared in the backfield as Frederick Brown started at quarterback. John Sherwood scored the lone touch- down and also booted the extra point. October 12 proved to be a bright day for Auburn and Coach Landry. Mississinewa folded before an Au- burn attack and then nearly made a comeback when we chalked up our first victory, 20-19. Auburn played without the services of Charles Coffin who had been injured in practice. Richard Smith was seen back in the starting halfback position. Auburn ' s victory seemed to stem from alertness illustrated by Carl Skip Wine- brenner ' s recovery of a fumble which set up Auburn ' s second touchdown. Frederick Brown, Arthur Albert, and John Sherwood scored one touchdown apiece, and Sherwood added two extra points. Mississinewa ' s final scoring opportunity was crushed when Frederick Brown intercepted a pass, and the Red and Black held the ball to protect their margin until the game was over. Ronald Shull was the workhorse who gained nearly half of Auburn ' s rushing yardage. Auburn chalked up its second victory when Auburn edged Warsaw 21-18. Auburn played without the services of another regular, Robert Winebrenner, who was ineligible because of scholastic difficulties. Again the score was not indicative of the statistics because Auburn rolled up more than double their victim ' s rush- ing yardage. The line stood out in this game when it held the Tigers on defense and cleared the way on offense. Arthur Albert starred as he scored three touchdowns and one extra point. Frederick Brown and Ronald Shull each scored one extra point to complete the scoring. The big game of the season took place on October 2 5. The Mcintosh eleven invaded the domain of the Garrett Railroaders. The score was far from pleasing from our standpoint when Garrett romped 20-0. Lynn Andrews, Garrett halfback, proved to be the big gun scoring all Garrett ' s touchdowns. Auburn ' s offensive game ground almost to a halt before a rugged Railroader defense. One bright moment came when David Cserep took the ball from a Garrett player and gave Auburn a real scoring opportunity although the red and black team could not capitalize on it. The final record stood at two wins and six losses. The Auburn team proved itself even though it did not have a winning season. Throughout the year, the team showed drive and improvement. Prospects look bright for next year with several boys returning from the 19 56 squad. Credit also must be given to the seniors who held the team steady and made valuable contributions. The football reserves also had a rough schedule and failed to win any games. The participation in reserve team games gives the boys more experience and prepares them for the varsity games in which they will partici- pate in seasons to come. The reserves were defeated by Concordia, 13-0. Kendall ville also was victorious over the Auburn athletes, 14-7. Garrett soundly thumped Auburn, 20-0. Kendallville again beat Auburn ' s grid- iron heroes, 20-7. Even though it seems the reserves did have a gloomy season, the experience gained will be very profitable for the seasons to come. Coach Landry presented football awards to several of his charges. Those receiving letters or chevrons were Arthur Albert, Brian Baker, Frederick Brown, Charles Coffin, David Cserep, Richard George, Roger Goodwin, Dennis Retzenberger, Michael Long, Larry Morr, Rich- ard Morr, Edwin Perkins, Billy Rediger, Eric Rieke, David Rolf, Jack Shaw, John Sherwood, Ronald Shull, Max Simanton, Richard Smith, William Stouder, Phillip Trout, Jeri Walter, Carl Winebrenner, Robert Wine- brenner and student manager Steven Thimlar. Ten seniors each received a silver football as a token of their participation in this phase of the athletic pro- gram. Those receiving the award were Brian Baker, Carl Hildebrandt, Larry Morr, David Rolf, Jack Shaw, John Sherwood, Richard Smith, William Stouder, Phillip Trout, and Carl Winebrenner. Page 67 J.

Baker Page 69 Basketball Seventy-three basketball aspirants turned out for the basketball trials. Coach Virgil Landry cut the team down with the help of assistant Robert Walter to a more workable number of thirty. Coach Landry han- dled the varsity composed of eleven boys, while Mr. Walter handled the reserves. Coach Landry put the boys through several drills and scrimmages as they prepared for a long and rugged season. The team ' s first test was South Bend Riley at South Bend. The long trip into enemy territory proved fruitful for the Auburn hoopsters when they defeated the South Bend Riley Wildcats, 49-43. Although the final score showed only a six point margin. Auburn was ahead fifteen points at halftime. The game became quite rough as the desperate Wildcats tried to close the margin. The closing minutes proved exciting as Riley narrowed the margin to one point twice only to see the Auburn crew pull away. The next game was with the Concordia Cadets. The Mcintosh men received their first loss, for the tall and rugged Cadets turned them back 5 7-47. The smaller Auburn boys were not quite able to handle the rebound- ing situation due to their diminutive size. John Sher- wood was high point man with fourteen. Auburn wrapped up its second victory when it soundly trounced the North Side Redskins of Fort Wayne, 74-5 3. This was the first home game of the season, and the boys seemed happy to be home — especially Larry Morr, who scored twenty-two points to lead the team to victory. The next game brought an old feud to boil again when Garrett brought their team to match the Auburn- ites. This contest was one of the brighter moments of the season because the Railroaders fell before the Au- burn onslaught, 67-62. Larry Getts was a standout in the game with his rebounding and scoring although these were not sufficient to meet the need. David Jordan was the Auburn standout when he led the team with twenty points. Jacob Blevins and Larry Morr gave him able assistance with sixteen points each. South Side of Fort Wayne squeaked past Auburn the following week, 64-61. The Archers staged a terrific rally in the second half to give them victory. Sensational shooting by the Green and White was the answer to their problems. Four of the Auburn starters hit double figures. Peru handed Auburn its third loss in another close game, 60-59. The Auburn five virtually gave the game to the Tigers by their inability to hit free throws. James Rody, big center of the Tigers, carried them to victory. The Auburn scoring was fairly balanced since four of the starters were in double figures. David Jordan was high with sixteen points. The next game followed another long trip to South Bend. The Mclntoshers engaged the South B;nd Wash- ington Panthers. The game was a success from the Panthers ' standpoint as they rolled over Auburn, 60-5 1. Smallness of stature again plagued the red and black five with a rebounding disadvantage. Scoring was also at a low ebb with Jacob Blevins the only man over ten points. The Bluffton holiday tournament was the next engagement on the agenda. Auburn drew Hartford City in the first round. The Airedales, ranked about seventh in the state, were expected to be a very rugged foe. The Auburn coach pulled a surprise by playing a pos- Page 70 session game. The height and power of the Airedales, however, proved to be the deciding factor in the game and they won 41-30. Auburn won the consolation game with the Ken- dallville Comets. The score was a close 51-50. David Jordan was high for the victors with twenty points Auburn next won in a gruelling battle in the second game with the Kendallville Comets this season. The final score was 70-66. The game showed one of the best balanced attacks of the year as every starter scored ten points or more. Jerry Brown carried the Comets along with his twenty-nine points. Auburn tacked another victory onto their card when they whipped the Goshen Redskins, 5 9-48. Even the decided height advantage of the Redskins could not halt the Mclntoshers ' onslaught. Larry Morr led the team with twenty points with John Sherwood being close behind with eighteen points. The next game proved to be the most thrilling of the season. The Auburn five invaded the Angola gym and ran into the Hornets ' nest. The final score was 54- 52 with Auburn ' s men victorious. The game proved hard on the nerves when Angola led in the closing seconds. The Angola victory seemed salted away until an Angola lad became over-anxious. Auburn rebounded and scored, thus tying the game and sending it into an overtime. The Mclntoshers held the ball in the extra period and played for one shot. John Sherwood shot and scored a basket that gave the Auburn five the victory. Handicapped by the absence of two regulars, the Auburn team was soundly defeated by the Decatur Yellowjackets, 69-49. The Auburn five seemed unable to get any sustained offensive drive going. This, coupled with poor defense, spelled their downfall. The next game provided another long trip for the Auburn cagers. This time it was to Mishawaka, another state ranked team. The Cavemen, led by Leroy John- son ' s thirty-four points and his terrific rebounding, snared the victory, 76-5 7. The smaller Auburnites were unable to cope with his height and jumping ability. Auburn showed a valiant fighting spirit and had the Maroon on the wire early in the game. John Sherwood led the losers with sixteen points. The next game soundly impressed the Auburn team with their lack of rebounding power. The Central Tigers ran away with a victory, 70-5 3. John Kelso, playing only about half the game, scored fourteen points for the victors. The game proved to be a rugged one with many fouls uncalled. Jacob Blevins was high for Auburn with fourteen points. John Sherwood and Rich- ard Morr also were in double figures, scoring respec- tively twelve and eleven points. The tremendous rebounding and all around power of Hartford City gave them a 68-51 victory in the second meeting between the two teams. John Sherwood carried the bulk of our scoring with nineteen points. Jacob Blevins scored eleven. Bluffton proved too powerful for the red and black and increased our losing streak with a score of 66-5 3. Again Auburn ' s lack of rebounding power was their downfall. The ability to control the boards seemed to be the key to victory in this game. The fifth game in a row away from home provided another loss for the Auburn five. The South Bend Adams Eagles gave us another loss, 5 8-50. South Bend was in for a surprise when Auburn ran up a quick eleven point lead. Then South Bend found themselves and closed the gap. John Sherwood led the Auburn snipers with eighteen points. The losing streak was finally broken when the red and black polished off the Huntington Vikings, 65-60. Again the rebounding of our opponents proved an im- portant factor in their staying as close as they did. Four Auburn boys were in the double figures. Auburn chalked up their ninth victory as they de- feated the Warsaw Tigers, 7 5-65. Richard George, scoring fifteen points and snaring fourteen rebounds, played one of his best games. Three other players were also in double figures. The first game of the long awaited sectional was a victory for the Auburn five. The Orland Tigers were the victims, 56-5 3. The Auburn fans were given a start when the score became close after a large Auburn lead. Three boys again reached the double figure column in scoring. The second round pitted Auburn against Churubus- co. This game turned out to be a humiliating upset. The Red and Black never found their bearings. They seemed unable to get any sustained attack going. The final score was 3 8-30. John Sherwood was again high with fourteen points. March 7, 1957, marked the day the basketball awards were made. Awards were presented to eleven players. Those receiving either a letter or a chevron were: Brian Baker, Jacob Blevins, Gary Bowser, John Cutter, Richard George, David Jordan, David Mag- nuson, Larry Morr, Richard Morr, Joseph Shellenbarger, and John Sherwood. Seven seniors received blankets as a token of their participation. Those receiving blankets were: Brian Baker, Gary Bowser, John Cutter, David Jordan, Larry Morr, Joseph Shellenbarger, and John Sherwood. David Cserep received a manager ' s award. Diane Copeland, Jane Gingrich, and Sarah Kinsey re- ceived yell leader ' s awards. Page 71 First row. R. Goodwin, C. Laurie, A. Ochstein, D. Liddell, E. Rieke, P. Stackhouse, D. Souder, M.

The Auburn Imps Before each varsity game the Auburn Imps played the reserves of the opposing school. Several of the games proved very exciting. The Imps were coached by Robert Walter who was. also Coach Landry ' s assistant. Mr. Walter did a fine job of coaching as we are sure the boys on the team will agree. The Imps won eight games and lost twelve. Here is a complete summary. Auburn 25 South Bend Riley 31 Auburn 43 Fort Wayne Concordia 34 Auburn 29 Fort Wayne North Side 3 5 Auburn 36 Garrett 49 Auburn 43 Fort Wayne South Side 42 Auburn 34 Peru 30 Auburn 51 South Bend Washington 48 Auburn 34 Kendallville 32 Auburn 32 Garrett 3 3 Auburn 38 Kendallville 3 5 Auburn 35 Goshen 47 Auburn 46 Angola 44 Auburn 34 Decatur 36 Auburn 40 Mishawaka 45 Auburn 28 Fort Wayne Central 76 Auburn 30 Hartford City 44 uburn 32 Bluffton 42 uburn 31 South Bend Adams 62 uburn 50 Huntington 44 uburn 49 Warsaw 52 Mr. Walter was also coach of the freshman team. Being on the freshman team gives boys a good back- ground for the coming years when they will be playing reserve and varsity basketball. Then, too, it gives the coaches more of an idea of what the boys can do and helps get them acquainted and get to know the boys better. The freshman team had a record of five games won and five lost including the tourney.

Eight lettermen returned. They were Nick Beers, Gary Scott, Gary Bowser, Joseph Sanders, Jerry Heffley, Richard Morr, Ken Carpenter, and Carl Hildebrandt. This season was Mr. John- son ' s first year as head track coach. On April 10 Auburn opened with a victory in their first meet. This meet was a triangular one among Auburn, Avilla and Riverdale. The scores were Auburn 5 3, Avilla 49, and Riverdale 13. Auburn won five first place ribbons and one relay. April 12 brought a speedy veteran Concordia track squad from Fort Wayne to pass Auburn 67Yz to 41 ' z. Paul Manske, tall Lutheran half-miler, broke the track record with a time of 2:06.3. One bright Auburn note was the improved per- formance of Jerry Heffley, who tossed the shot nearly forty- four feet and took first place. Other Auburn firsts came from Nick Beers, 440 yard dash; Ken Carpenter, 220 yard dash; and Gary Scott, pole vault. April 17 brought a second defeat to Auburn ' s door when they fell to the Angola Hornets 60% to 48%. Michael Erickson, who did so much damage in basketball, was a triple winner for the Hornets, taking the 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, and the broad jump. Richard Morr and John Sher- wood both won their specialties, the half-mile and the mile, respectively. Nick Beers won the 440 yard dash in 5 5.3. Auburn ' s half-mile relay team of Ken Carpenter, Arthur Albert, William Lock, and Nick Beers also won. The next meet was a victory for the Auburn thinly clads as they defeated Kendall ville 68% to 40%. Coach Johnson did some experimenting in this meet as he changed a few of the lads around. Daniel Kinsey returned to the squad after an illness to place third in the high hurdles with Auburnite Michael Webb taking first. Auburn scored a clean sweep in the pole vault with Gary Scott, Joseph Sanders, and Michael Long taking first, second and third, respectively. Jerry Heffley and Jacob Blevins also grabbed first and second, respectively, in the shot put. William Leamon was Kendallville ' s bright star, winning the 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, and 440 yard dash. April 21 was an important date on the calendar because it signified the Goshen Relays. Auburn did very well by placing sixth out of twenty-one Class B schools with thirty- seven points. Auburn brought home three second places and one third place in the relays, in addition to a second, fifth, and a tie for third place in the individual events. After the fine showing at Goshen, Auburn was humbled by Garrett, 79 to 3 0. Auburn won only two first places as veterans Nick Beers and Gary Scott won their specialties, the 440 yard dash and the pole vault, respectively. A reserve meet was held in connection with the varsity meet. The Auburn reserves also were soundly thumped, 69 to 3 3. Arthur Albert won the 100 yard dash and Charles Coffin took the 440 yard dash. Jacob Blevins was a winner in the low hurdles and in the high jump. Page 76 1956 Auburn turned the tables the next meet as they defeated Fremont 61% to 47%. The Mcintosh outfit brought home six first places and one relay. Nick Beers won the 440 yard dash; David Magnuson won the 880 yard run; Richard Morr was first in the mile run; and Michael Webb and Jerry Henley won firsts in the high hurdles and the shot put, respectively. Auburn ' s mile relay team also took the prize through the efforts of Billy Rediger, Charles Coffin, Daniel Kinsey, and Nick Beers. April 28 was another track highlight as Auburn traveled to the Kokomo Relays. Coach Johnson took a squad of four- teen boys chosen from Nick Beers, Ken Carpenter, William Lock, Arthur Albert, Michael Webb, Daniel Kinsey, Gary Scott, Joseph Sanders, Billy Rediger, Jerry Heffley, Jacob Blevins, Richard Morr, John Sherwood, Carl Winebrenner, David Magnuson, and Edwin Perkins. The Mcintosh men could muster only 1 5 J 2 points and finished sixth. Although only 1 5 J 2 points were scored, twelve of the fourteen boys who made the trip received a reward. The next meet was a 59-50 decision over Butler. Woody Blaker of Butler was a triple winner in the 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, and broad jump. Jeffery Brown, another Windmiller, won the mile and half-mile runs. Michael Webb took the low and high barriers for Auburn. Auburn won a grand slam in the low hurdles as Gary Scott and Joseph Sanders finished second and third. Jerry Heffley and Jacob Blevins took the first two places in the shot put. The Central Catholic thinly clads faded before Auburn in the final dual meet of the year. The score was 62% to 46%. Nick Beers and Michael Webb led Auburn to the victory, each copping double victories. Ken Carpenter also brought in a blue ribbon in the 220 yard dash. Joseph Sanders turned the tables on Gary Scott when Joe took first in the pole vault .with Scott second. Another bright light on the Auburn scene was the fine performance of two promising sophomores, Richard Morr and David Magnuson, as they finished first and second, respectively, in the half-mile run. The final meet of the 1956 track season was the sectional meet at Fort Wayne. The Auburn athletes turned in many fine performances, but they were not able to qualify for the regional meet. All told, despite good performances, Auburn mustered only 3 4 of a point. Nick Beers had a 5 3.4 quarter- mile, and Ken Carpenter had a 23.5 220 yard dash. After a fairly successful season, Coach Jack Johnson issued the awards. Those receiving letters or chevrons were Arthur Albert, Nick Beers, Jacob Blevins, Ken Carpenter, Charles Coffin, Jerry Heffley, Daniel Kinsey, William Lock, Richard Morr, Layden Rieke, David Magnuson, Edwin Perkins, Billy Rediger, Joseph Sanders, Gary Scott, John Sherwood, Michael Webb, and Carl Winebrenner. Jere Kessler received a manager ' s letter. The following boys received silver track shoes as senior awards: Nick Beers, Ken Carpenter, Jerry Heffley, Daniel Kinsey, William Lock, Joseph Sanders, Gary Scott, Michael Webb, and Layden Rieke.

The seniors put on a panel program to stop all panels at the gym last night. Each chose his own subject and confined time to two hours each. Wildermuth started the program, and his subject was: You Can ' t Blame Nudists for Being the Way They Are — They Were Born That Way. Next was Weimer. He talked on: Where There ' s a Will, There Are Relatives. Jolly Janet Weimer chose as her two hour oration: Lock Your Door and Keep Your Neighbors Honest. There was a short intermission while everyone went home to check the locks. As the meeting again came to order, One- Way Vauris refused his turn and said only: Speeches are like steer horns — a point here, a point there, and a lot of bull in between. Vivacious Vallieu spoke on: An Old Maid Is a Debutante Who Overdid It. This topic aroused Troublesome Tucker, and he debated the same subject, saying that an old maid was a slipping beauty. Tremendous Trout then jumped up and said they were both wrong. He insisted that an old maid is a girl who knows all of the answers but is never asked the questions. So much controversy was caused over this that every- one woke up and was hungry; Terrible Thomas, Salami Stouder, Smorgasbord Sommers, and Salty Smith served Stuffed Schlumeel with Triffles and San Quentin Quail with Hippopotamus Jowls. Perky Paul Smith and Blos- som Shook set fire to the table to keep from cleaning it up, and the meeting was again called to order. Sneaky Shellenbarger and Sleeky Shaw debated the subject of: The Reckless Driver Must Go, but Why Must He Go So Fast? They said that everyone should learn to drive a car, especially those behind the wheel. Next on the program came Legs Shafer and Silhouette Schultz on one side with Sweetheart Sapp and Rough- house Rolf on the other. Their topic was: The Man Who Is Early of Late Used To Be Behind Before, and Now Is First at Last. Many did not agree with them; consequently, recess was called. Rohm the Rogue and Romance Richter started the next session on: Modern Girl — One Who Is Afraid of Nothing except a Stack of Dirty Dishes; A Girl with a Visible Means of Support. Ridiculous Rice, Restless Refner and Ranting Rainier gave a counter discussion on Modern Man: He Will Stand for Anything except a Woman in a Bus. By now everyone was either unconscious or hungry; again food was served. Perky Purdy and Pop-over Plat- ter served Dangling Participles, Mixed Metaphors, Split and Stuffed Infinitives and French Fried Colons which had been prepared by Pop-Eye Patrick and Oh-oh Oren. Merciless Moody, Magnificent Manon, Marvelous Mc- Keon, and Majestic McDonald served in the scullery department at this session. By now everyone was either wrapped up in the situation or dead, and the show went on. Luscious Lumm, Lovable Lung, Leave-me-alone Lewis and Like- able Lee took off on a long discourse on: Temper — the Only Thing You Can Lose and Still Have. They said it is a thing you lose but always find again. Jelly-bean Jordan, Jabber Jones and Hooligan Hinschlager spoke on Kissing. They said, A kiss is nothing divided by two. In kissing, two heads are better than one. Hard-nose Hildebrandt and Heavenly Hess talked on Insomnia. Some of the high points were: In- somnia is the triumph of mind over mattress or the inability to sleep even when it is time to get up. They also said that insomnia keeps people awake all night for an hour. Hermit Hess, Heartburn Hamilton, and Harp- sichord Haines disagreed. They said that insomnia was a thing that keeps a lot of innocent sheep jumping over fences all night. By now everyone was thirsty. Quagmire Heffley, Forget-me-not Franks, and Dramatic Drerup served Torpedo Juice and Owl Milk. It was requested that partakers drink the cups, too, because the dish-washers, Disastrous Draggoo, Chowder Cutter and Canine Croy, had long since gone home. In the last division of debates (which had now run into the second Tuesday of next week), Charming Cool, Clumsy Coe, Chaser Close, and Cave-man Dick Cline took over the problem of relatives. The four points discussed were: 1. Inherited critics; 2. What the rich never lack; 3. Persons who live too near and die too seldom; 4. The best way to make your relatives think a lot of you is to make a fortune and then drop dead. Creeper Spike Cline, Bumpkin Butz, Bashful Burtz- ner, and Bell-boy Bowser jumped to the front and took off on a very dull oration on History. Cline said it was a record of the evil that men do. Butz thought it was an account, mostly false, of events, mostly unim- portant. Burtzner said it was something that never happened, written by a man who wasn ' t there. Bowser insisted it is a series of lies agreed upon. As the debate went into the twenty-tenth day. But- tercup Blue, Bonehead Bishop, Buggy Beber, and Beach- comber Ball gave a lengthy discussion on Diplomacy. The main issues were: 1. Lying in state; 2.

As the battle came to a close, several short subjects were on the agenda. Tricky Trippel said that employers believe that hire should be lower. Biceps Baker spoke on Man. In short, he said that man is the only animal that can be skinned more than once and still stay alive. He thinks that science should spend less time studying the origin of man and more time on what his finish is to be. Duals Cochard spoke on Sleep ; she said that get- ting the baby to sleep is hardest when she is about eight- een years old. She also said that the person who lies easily ought to sleep well. Shameful Sherwood ended the talks when he said that a wedding is a funeral where you can smell your own flowers. It is a place where a ring is put on the finger of the woman and through the nose of the man. The meeting was brought to a close with a short lunch served by Glamorous Gustafson, Prankster Peters, and Ignoramus Irwin. Lunch consisted of Binder Cheese, Saddle of Mule (with stirrups), and Mother-of-Pearl- in-Law. As the people who were still able to navigate filed out of the gym and started for home or the asylum. Blissful Beck, Hairless Harper, Happy Hay, and Pudgy Pommert got into a real argument. The topic was The Pedes- trian. Beck said the pedestrian is the vanishing Amer- ican. Harper said it is the survival of the fittest. Happy Hay maintained it is a person who should be seen and not hurt, but Pommert said it is a man who has learned that it doesn ' t pay to go straight.
