During the week of September 29, the DeKalb County Free Fall Fair visited Auburn. The traditional festivity brought vacation, initiations, parades, rides, and time to get sick on all we ate. This isn ' t a major operation, fellas, says Paul Yoder. He and his buddies are soon to become Hi-Y members. The Plebes, Teen-Y, and Tri-Hi-Y clubs use similar methods for their initia¬ tions. FALL FAIR UNLOCKED KEYED EMOTIONQ The slamming of lockers, the sharpening of pencils, and the opening of books were the echoes that rang through Auburn High School on September 3, 1964. A new year of study and activities had begun for AHSers, and each in turn had many anticipations. A change of pace came quickly as the DeKalb County Free Fall Fair brought not only a day off from study for Auburn High Schoolers, but also a week filled with much hustle and bustle. Students were kept busy with homework, but they still had time to show 4-H exhibits, build and decorate floats, and participate in parades. One of the many highlights of the Fair Week is the selection of Miss DeKalb County. The Senior Class chose Jackie Browning to represent them as Miss Au¬ burn. Jackie was awarded with second runner-up in the queen contest. Hey, Brad, get down off that thoroughbred and let us ridel Mr. Kobert, Mr. Fougerousse, and Brad Rogers temporarily monopo¬ lize the merry-go-round, proving they are still young at heart. Saturday brought the Fair to a close in a grand fash¬ ion. The Grand Finale Parade was held, with bands and floats coming from all over Indiana to vie for prizes.

HOMECOMING QUEEN AND COURT: Becky Tucker, sophomore attendant; Carolyn Gray, junior attendant; Vickie Moore, senior attendant; Susan Kingsbury, Homecoming Queen; Jackie Brown¬ ing, senior attendant; Vickie Lockwood, freshman attendant. These girls were chosen by the boys of their respective classes to reign through the eventful Homecoming weekend of 1964. DILIGENT PREPARATION PRODUCED THE Harvest 4 - Hoedown = Homecoming Dance. Ronnie Hefty and Linda Metcalf represent 38 couples who attended the evening event. Their big smiles show the success of the senior-sponsored dance. Divine, delightful, and dreamy were all words that were used to describe the three annual dances held for Auburn High Schoolers. Fall is a time of beauty, and this was surely the case for the 1964 Auburn Homecoming Dance. Miss Susan Kingsbury, the Homecoming Queen, and her lovely court reigned over the dance held in the specially decorated Junior High Gymnasium. Sweet music, food, and punch made the evening a wonderful mem¬ ory for everyone who attended. Grab that fella! was the cry heard in the halls of A.H.S. a few days before this year ' s Sadie Hawk¬ ins Dance. Fun and frolic were the keys for every AHSer as each portrayed his own idea of the aver¬ age Li ' l Abner and Daisy Mae. The dance, sponsored each year by the Teen-Y, was held in a Dog Patch atmosphere at the Y.M.C.A. December was a time for heavy coats, boots, and gloves, but it was also the time for the students of A.H.S. to put on their best and go to the prettiest dance of the year, the Christmas Formal. The dreamy music and sweet smells of Christmas goodies made the night one which will long be remembered.
