Oh dad, I’m so glad, they’re the l est things that hit this country.” A smile flashed for an instant into her gloomy face, hut it died out again when she had finished and turned to the window. “It's from Elizabeth,” she began to explain but broke off passionately—“I’m sick of sand and plains and snakes and greasers, I want to go back home—to Chicago, where there’s life. Oh don’t say it all over again. I know your defense back-ward’s and up-side-down.” she interrupted as her father started to speak. “Of course you think they need you here, but surely there are other doctors in the country. Elizabeth wants me to visit her, but of course I won’t leave you. Dad,” she ended more kindly. The doctor’s kind, tired eyes followed her wistfully as she left the room. And the old question arose in his mind. Was it right to keep her here when she hated it all so much? That desolate little corner of Texas represented all that she disliked. Her nature seemed to be only in atone with gaiety and frivolity. But surely she was not incapable of sympathy! He himself was so alive to the pain of othei-s that it hurt him keenly to think that his daughter was unsympathetic. He often told her of how parents rode for miles to get the medicine that would save their children’s lives. But she only said, “Don’t try to influence me into liking this wretched sand by playing on my sympathies. Besides they’re just greasers.” And her father would sigh and leave her alone. “If her mother was only here,” he often said, and then he would live a while in the past. He arose after some time and ordered his horse fora long ride in the hot sun to see a patient. Before leaving he sought his daughter. “Ethel I’m going over to McKeen’s ranch now, and I’m going to think over this thing of giving it all up and going back home; I don’t want to keep you-here against your will, child. But I must try to see the right thing, to do as your mother would have me. So perhaps I’ll have good news for you when I come back ,” he said, trying to smile. After he was gone Ethel stood at the window for a long time. Before her lay the long rows of low, “doby” stables. A lizard stretched himself lazily under a bunch of cactus. But her thoughts were far away, with a crowd of gay young people in Chicago. “Person asking for the doctor Miss,” said a servant at the door. “Who is it Jerry, just a greaser?” “No’um its a woman, specks you better see her Miss,” and the privileged African closed the door. The girl leisurely made her way to the rear of the house, where the doctor’s office was situated. But she quickened her step when she saw the excited movements and scared eyes of the Spanish woman, who stood in front of the office. She was untidy, though more respectable looking than most of her kind. Her dark, passionate face was the look of anxiety. She clasped and unclasped her long Angers nervously, as she tried to make her wishes known. She wanted the doctor quickly—yes, she had walked and the sun was hot, but it did not matter The doctor was not there?—Then the child would die. Ethel looked on half afraid of her wild ravings, when she learned it. But the woman collected herself and begged the girl to go with her. The child would die she moaned, and she was afraid to be alone. The girl moved by a sense of pity she had never felt before, left word for her father to follow as soon as he reached home, and went with the woman. The child had taken ill very suddenly while playing in front of the house, the woman explained on the way. Her husband was away from home on the range. When they reached the hut, she bent anxiously over the restless form of the child. It was flushed with fever and at flrst, Ethel was frightened, thinking it might be the dread disease. But her attention was occupied by the woman’s distress. Her husband soon returned. He was just a greaser, but his grief was pitiful. 4 SCARLET AND GREEN The girl, whose sympathies were aroused to the fullest extent, wished with all her heart that she might do something to releive the suffering child, the long, restless, idle, hours she had spent, arose before her. How she wished she had learned some of the things her father could have taught her. Now she could only hope for his coming. fie came at last, surprised to find her there. But he could do nothing. It was a snake-bite, he said, and with immediate treatment the child could have been saved. Ethel went home with her father. Af- ter comforting her, in her sorrow over the scene she laid just witnessed, he told her of his resolve to take her back to their old home. “1 have decided that it is'nt right for you to waste your life here,” lie said. But to his surprise a small hand was pressed over his lips. “No—Don’t dad—They need you here and, I think in time they are going to need me. To-morrow I want you to show me how to cure a snake-bit, lets not talk about ourselves any more now.” “How like her mother, the child is,” the doctor murmered as he leaned back in his chair. BILLY’S BIRTHDAY PRESENT By Ha I lie Workman, 10 BILLY sat upon the high board fence, swinging his chubby little legs. He was six yeai-s old that day, and was feeling quite proud of the fact. Elsie, his little sister, stood on the ground looking up at Billy reproachfully, with teal’s in her big brown eyes. “Billy you know I can’t climb that fence, and besides I don’t want to.” “Girls can’t climb fences at all: all they know is to dress dolls and play house.” “I'm most a man now,” said ltoastful Billy “and of course I can't play dolls any more.” But Billy,” cried distressed Elsie, “you played dolls yesterday, and it was only the other day you made me such a nice doll hat, and—” But yesterday I was only five years old. Today I am six, don’t you see? But girls never understand. ” Well, I suppose they don’t,” sobbed poor Elsie, “but I don’t see why you can’t play dolls today, if you played with them yesterday.” “Hurrah! Hurrah! Here comes Uncle Will,” and Billy in his haste to get down, fell from the fence, but hastily jumped up, to run towards a young man, coming in at the gate. I told ma you’d come, 'cause you never miss my birthday,” cried Billy, as he threw himself into the arms of his uncle. Uncle Will swung his small nephew to his shoulders, just in time to catch little Elsie, as she ran joyfully to meet him. Of course, I wouldn’t miss your birthday, would I Elsie?” said Uncle Will; “but jump down, my little man, give me a chance to see sister Nan,” and Uncle Will ran up the broad veranda steps. When Uncle Will had removed the dust of his travel and eaten his dinner, he was dragged out doors by the children to see their pets. This was a yearly occurrence. for Uncle Will came to visit them each year on Billy’s birthday. He generally brought them a new pet, but this year, to Billy's and Elsie’s disappointment, he showed no signs of giving them anything. The coming of Uncle Will meant presents, lots of fruit and candy, and a general good time. It was no wonder then that the children were disappointed. They were restless all the time, they seemed to be expecting something, they knew not what, but down in their hearts they were really waiting for Uncle Will's presents. That evening while they were eating supper, Uncle Will glanced uneasily at Billy. “Billy, you seem unusually quiet this evening, and for your birthday, I think that is quite unusual.” Billy's chubby little face flushed, but he was silent. “I didn't give you your present today, ( Hon tin Hf! on Ut) SCARLET AND GREEN COLORS—SCARLET AND GREEN School Flower—Red Rose Motto—Work A—A—A-u-b B-B-u-r-n Auburn High School ft SCARLET AND GREEN A. .1. LI'DDKN. A. li. A. J. LUDDEN, Principal MR. LUDDEN was 1 h i-ii on a farm near Surprise, Nebr. That place was, however, too small to undertake the serious problem of his education. So Ulysses High School had the honor of becoming his Alma Mater in the year 1899. Five years later he graduated from the University of Nebraska. Of his college days we can do no better than quote from the “Senior Class Book of ’04” of the university) which says in part: “Arthur J. Ludden is a member of the Palladian Society, one of the best basketball players in the university, and a fine fellow.” The last of which he has l een busy demonstrating ever since he became connected with the Auburn High School, two years ago. Every department of the school has been his special department. New classes have sprung up. debating has occupied a prominent position, athletics have flourished as never before, a girls' basket-ball team became an organization of the High School for the first time, under his leadership. And it is with keenest regret that we are forced to announce that he has accepted a position with Fremont for next year. Ilis pupils, and those who know him best, feel that Auburn has suffered a great loss. But though he is of us no longer, our best wishes are with him wherever he goes. SCARLET AND GRKI-N LILLIE A. ANDERSON Lillie a. anderson, the flower of our fac-ulty, was born in San .Tose, California, and it is through that incident that we {fain a new respect for that state. I ler high school education was, however, gained at Iloldrege, Nebr., her present home. The f ur f 11 w-ing years slie spent in close application to her studies in the university, specializing iii Gennan and Latin. In 1904 the lxssird of edu-cation secured her to teach those subjects in the High School. For three years she has held that position, gaining the praise of prominent educators all over state. Miss Anderson is of a quiet, gentle disposition, always kind and cheerful, always suggesting and encouraging, and for all this her pupils love and admire her. Every one rejoiced when they learned that Miss Anderson would remain with us for another year. GENEVA BULLOCK, A. B. School in 1900 and four years later received her diploma as a gr.idu ite of the University of Nebraska. After her graduation she taught for one year at Bancroft, Nebr., after which she accepted the position in the Auburn High School which she still holds. In a little talk to the students on her first morning in our school, she said: “T am interested in everything that you are interested in.” We have always found her ready to live up to the statement. Miss Bullock is a singer of ability, having conducted the singing in the High School ever since she became connected with it. It is a well known fact that you can win her favor by joining the “Lieder-krantz.’ We are glad to state that Miss Bullock will continue her work in the High School for another vear. MISS BULLOCK GENEVA BULLOCK, our instructor in History, English and Gennan, was horn in Lincoln, Nebr., and is proud of the fact that that city lists always been her home. She graduated from the Lincoln High miss mccartxey HENDERSON. Iowa, is famd as the birth-place of Lulu McCartney. She. like many other great and good people, lived the greater part of her fife on si farm. Attending a country school until she reached the tenth grade.

Guy Simpson TIIIC year just passed has been one of the most successful from an educational standpoint in the history of our schools. Both the amount and quality of the work done is highly satisfactory to all who have had the opportunity to examine it. From the primary to the twelfth grade the work has been in the hands of capable, conscientious, and energetic teachers. Perfect harmony has prevailed throughout the year, and all have had the one aim in view of rendering the greatest service to the children under their instruction, and putting the efficiency of our schools on a level with the best in the state. To the end they have had the support and hearty co-operation of the board of education in every particular. The best text books, supplies in abundance, scientific apparatus, maps and gloties. have l een generously provided. Not a single request for such things has been denied. The grading and organization has l een improved in several respects the past year. Mid-year promotions in the grades, which had l een reduced to an average of five last year, were discarded entirely this year except from B-lst to A-lst at Antioch. This will raise the age of the eighth grade graduate to fourteen years in the near future. The conditions for passing from one grade to the next higher have been made more strict. As a result classes entering the High School are better prepared to do the work, and there are fewer pupils drop out after entering. In the past three years but two graduates from the eighth grade have failed to enter the High School, which shows a healthy interest in higher education on the part of pupils and parents. A system of music has been put into the grades, which, under the efficient supervision of Mr. Evans, lias given excellent results. A graded system of drawing has also been introduced, the SCARLET AND GREEN o value of which was plainly shown at the Patrons’ Day exhibit. While the importance of drawing and music is thus recognized in the course of study, and nature study and morals and manners, are given due attention, no neglect of what are usually styled the “essentials” is permitted. During the past two years the High School has been under the excellent management of Mr. A. J. Ludden as principal, ably assisted by Miss Lillie Anderson. Miss Lulu McCartney and Miss Geneva Bullock. The wisdom of retaining. in so far as possible, teachers whose work has been satisfactory has been demonstrated this year. The second day of the term, school was running as smoothly as if it had been going on a month. The size of last year’s graduating class thirty—and of this year’s class thirty-four speaks well for the deep interest maintained by the student body. A flourishing literary society and strong cadet company furnish valuable supplementary work to the regular curriculum. In the quality of work done, the Auburn High School probably ranks second to none in Nebraska. Her graduates enter the university on an equal footing with graduates from the larger schools and have not failed to keep up well to the front in the race for a higher education. Antioch has upheld the honor of her classic name by the excellence of her school. Mr. W. L. Evans, in one short year principal, has made himself almost indispensible to our school system. He will send thirty-three well trained hoys and girls into the Freshman (’lass of the High School next September. Miss Myrtle McGrew, teacher of the seventh grade, has a state wide reputation for superior ability and success. She shows her loyalty to Antioch by refusing a flattering offer of a position in the Lincoln schools and remaining here for another year. Miss Hickey, teacher of the sixth grade, Miss Holmes, of the fifth, Miss Tyler, of the fourth, Miss Riesenberg, of the third, Miss Hale, of the second, Miss Brooker, of A first, and Miss Metcalf, of B first, are all deserving of the highest commendation for the faithful service rendered and the splendid results attained. The school suffers a loss in the retirement of Miss Riesenberg and Miss Brooker from the teaching force, the one to quit the profession the other tf accept a better position at her home town. South Omaha. The year 15 00-7 has witnessed a good growth at Athens in enrollment and instruction. Mr. E. Fritz Slagle, principal of the school and teacher of the seventh and eighth grades, is a man of sturdy character, mind and body. Under bis management it has retained its high rank in thoroughness,regularity and discipline. Twenty pupils will graduate from his eighth grade class, May 21. Miss Van-deburgh, who was teacher of the sixth grade, was compelled to resign in February because of the sickness of her mother. Her place, which was a hard one to fill, has been well taken by Mrs. Anna Allen. Miss Webber, who has been in the school for three years, has held high the standard of the fourth and fifth grades. Miss Bryson, as teacher of the second and third grades, and Miss Hannon, who has the first grade, have done faithful, conscientious work, for which they should receive great credit. The citizens of Auburn are proud of their schools, and it is this that is largely responsible for their excellent condition.

Her desire to be a teacher was realized the following year when she became a member of the A. H. S. faculty. Miss McCartney’s special forte is mathematics. Her classes in that science are always well advanced. Miss McCartney’s bright, lively ways have endeared her to her pupils, and make her a most welcome guest at all the social functions of the High School.

This present is for both of you. It is something you have always wanted, something which I have been trying to get for you three years, and I hope you will like it, as well as I do.” “And I think,” added Uncle Will, “that there’s a pretty little present for a pretty little girl, too, which will make somebody’s big eyes open wider than ever before.” “Oh Uncle Will,” and Elsie ran around to the other side of the table to give her uncle a good hug. The next morning Elsie and Billy were “almost wild” with expectations. They were quite sure it would l e an extra nice present, for, didn’t Uncle Will make them wait one whole day and a night? By half-past ten Billy and Elsie were waiting patiently on the front porch. Why their mother had insisted on their donning their Sunday clothes, they could not tell. Elsie folded her hands on her new white dress, pulled her locket into place, patted the big bows on her little slippers and asked Billy if her curls were straight. But still they waited, and still Uncle Will did not come from the train with the presents. “Don't see why Uncle Will had to go to the station after our presents,” said impatient Billy; “the express man could have brought it just the same as he always has.” “Here comes the carriage,” cried Elsie, and before they hardly knew it, Uncle Uncle Will had jumped from the carriage, and was helping a young lady out. “Oh. Miss Ellen has come! Elsie! rOlsie, go tell ma!” and excited, Billy ran to meet them. “Children, this is your present,” said Uncle Will, “a truly Auntie, something you have always wanted,” and Uncle Will handed her over to the delighted children. When they had reached the house. Uncle Will came in with a long, large box in his arms. This he opened and after undoing many wrappers, drew forth two large dolls. “Elsie, this is your gift,” he said, handing her one of the big. beautiful dolls, “and Billy, this one is for you.” Of course Billy took the doll, and Elsie never more heal'd him say “he was too big for dolls.” “And now, children,” said Uncle Will, “which present do you like the liest?” Of course they both agreed that their new Auntie was nicer than all presents Uncle Will had ever given them and Uncle Will agreed without a o hesitation.

SCARLET AND GREEN i [ By Grace Anne Crooker “XTO. 82, that all you have?” Loring-1N ton stared disconcertedly at the red faced clerk whose whole at-tenti m, for the moment, was taken in ligh ting the cigar that he held between his lip.-,. “Yes it’s the only room left. Busy time you know. 82 your hoodoo number? Huh! lots like you, there’s nothin in it. better take it,” and he looked with a questioning1 grin at the man before him. The day had l een a busy and trying one and Lorington, naturally somewhat nervous, could not reconcile himself to No. 82. His thoughts went back to a busy hotel in a big western city, when he had opened a door marked 82 and saw the lifeless form of a man stretched out on the l ed, an empty revolver lying on the floor. And again, when 82 had marked his door, lire had broken out in the hotel and now it seemed to him, that he could hear the crackling of the flames and feel the choking smoke in his throat. “Can’t do it,” he said, half to himself and half to the red faced clerk, at the same time jerking out his watch. “Ten minutes to train time,” he muttered, and grabbing his suit case he hastily left the hotel. The train was on the track when out of breath he swung himself into the car and, with a sigh of relief, sank into the nearest seat. It seemed scarcely five minutes to the tired man until the conductor was calling out the next station. He arose wearily, picked up his baggage, and stepped out into the depot. He wandered through the big room undecided as to what hotel to try and wondered if ever a man with money had such a time finding lodgings. Above the din of the noisy crowds the shrill voice of a newsboy reached his ear. “Evening papers. five cents! Big wreck on the B. ()! Train No. 82 collides with freight! Several killed!” Lorington started, that number had unnerved him, and he had recovered himself when a hand was laid on his shoulder and a good natured voice was saying, “Well, what is the matter old chap, been seeing ghosts? Say, don't you remember the last one you saw?” and the young man laughed heartily. Hiding his displeasure the best he could Lorington held out his hand with, “I'm glad to see you Paxton.” The two had grown up together and Paxton had always made fun of Loring-ton’s nervousness and. even at this age. nothing delighted him more than to find out some of Lorington’s superstitions. “Come on up to the hotel with me and we’ll put up together,” said Paxton, and without waiting for his friend’s answer, grabbed up his suit case and started for the door “Hey, bring back my suit case!” Lorington called after him, but seeing that Paxton paid no attention to him started up the street with him talking and laughing until they came to the hotel door where across the street was a circus bill with “82 camels and elephants” in flaming scarlet and yellow. With that number across the street Lorington would never stay at the hotel and muttering something about, “a forgotten engagement at the depot.” leaving his suit case and the astonished Paxton on the hotel veranda, Lorington, now determined to get away from that odious number if it kept him up all night, hurried on to the depot and boarded the waiting train. The car was crowded and in the only seat that was left was a brown suit case. He moved it to one side and at the same time remembered where he had left his own, but contenting himself with tin thought that Paxton would bring it down the next day, he stretched himself out in the seat and was almost asleep when an unusual commotion in the car aroused him again. The train had slowed down, almost stopped, Lorington pressed his face against the window. It was still raining and he was unable to make out anything until a flash of lightning lit up the intense darkness and there beside the track a white post with the figures 8 and 2 loomed up. The first thought that flashed through Lorington’s mind was a wreck and. never (Continued on potje 33) Hoy Kuhlman Hsrrhon Shafer John Simmons Wayland Hawley Cozier Giilman Earl Goddard Ko Cottrell Carl liolmes Walter York Mascot TUACK TEAM OF l:n7 SCARLET AND GREEN Uo!-e Stout, Delia Dirks, Edna (iofT, .iessie Clarke, Clara I ickey, Grace Crooker, Susie Keyt (II HI.S' GASKET HALL TEAM ATHLETIC, G i s' A fh dies Foil many years a girls’ basket ball team had been struggling for existence in tlie Auburn High School. Altho the girls gave their time to the game and kept posted on the rules very little was accomplished save, (according to Prof. Simpson.) in the line of screaming. However, in the fall of 1905, under Mr. Ludden’s management, a girls basket hall team became an organization of the A. II. S. The first game played was with the Syracuse High School. The girls who played in that first game will never forget it. On account of a heavy rain the game was pulled olT in a hall. It was the first time our girls ever played on a floor. Nevertheless t hey won with a safe margin. Though defeat might come later they would never give up they had won their first game. During the season two other games were played. In both of which we suffered defeat the one with the Peru Normal and the return game with Syra cuse. Our first defeat was a defeat in more ways than one, for our girls got ••sulky.” However, when Syracuse defeated us. we knew how to take it wit h a better grace. In the fall of 1906 the team organized with renewed enthusiasm. The first game played was with Humboldt. The victory was an easy one. but we admired the spirit wit h which they played. The only other game played was with the Peru Normal. It was hard fought from beginning toend. In the first half Auburn was well in the lead but in the last we were unable to keep up the pace. However, in looking over the scores made by the Normal girls in their tour of the state, we find that they did not suffer a single defeat and that Auburn’s score stands higher than that of any other school. We are quite as proud of that game as of those we have won. Then here’s to a a splendid team to win honors for the dear old Auburn High in Phis.

GRACE ANNE CROOKER This little maid is of a mathematical turn of mind, having taken, when approached by our reporter, no more than five minutes to compute the date of her birth, which she said was in 88. HELEN ROBERTA COLEMAN—Blessed by nature with a sweet temperament and a charming countenance, she wins hearts wherever she goes. Her bright smile lights up ••one' seat in the fourth row from the west, in the assembly room. She is specializing in domestic sciences, and besides being able to make fudge and bake pies she is now learning how to make pickles. JESSIE GONTLEY CLARKE—This beautiful smiling maid of seventeen was ! orn a few miles southwest of Auburn. Her aptitude for the exact sciences was shown at the age of four, when she counted to twenty without making a mistake. ROY COTTRELL—A boy who makes girls timid by the flashes of his eye. He expects to study law sometime in the future if he can escape matrimony AMELIA DIRKS— This gentle “Fraulein” will not disclose the date of her birth but modestly confesses it is in the eighties. In her early infancy she showed her love for music by playing Yankee Doodle on the high chair with a spoon. TIIEROX DANIELS -A winsome youth who was lorn in 181)0, and is a product of the A. II. S. He is very timid in the presence of ladies. Only on rare occasions is he seen with one but it has been hinted that when he is. his words “Flo” quite smoothly. BONNIE L. HUFFMAN-From her own statement she was born at Brock. Nebraska, sometime in the eighties. She is very studious, wishing to master everything in the A. II. S. and next Septemlier she hopes to find some country school children on whom she can inflict, her vast amount of knowledge. WAYLAND (i. HAWLEY Was made somewhat after the pattern of Mr. Simpson you can see him coming some distance away. Sad to say, we haven’t any interesting data regarding this young man’s birth. He delights in pet ting “Swan-s.” LOVE HA DSELL This maid with the beautiful brown eye was one of the senior May flowers of 1890 which sprang up near Bennett, Nebraska. As to her future she has not looked farther ahead than her graduat ion w ith the present senior class. MAE H ALL Was born at South Auburn, in 1887, hut she does not look it. She is a studious little girl and has but one fault, “giggles.” CLARA ELIZABETH HICKEY—We don’t want to make any startling statements, but this little girl was born Dec. 31, 1888. Although she is small she is mighty and when she gets big enough some young man with a microscope will find her and the A. II. S. will hear of her no more. FANNIE GERTRUDE KLECKNER—Began to chatter and coo nineteen years ago and has kept it up ever since. She is fond of driving and sewing but which will be most useful to her in life is hard to tell as her future is a sealed book. LELA KIMLER Was born in 1888, at Tecumseh. Since then she has done nothing of note except cut her teeth on a rubber doll and join the class of ’07. EARL KEEDY The possessor of the pretty dimples and wavy hair, was born in Keedysville, Maryland, in 1888. He is especially fond of class parties and gum. SCARLET AND GREEN 16 M IN NIE LA NS DOW N E Was born in 1890, somewhere. She is of a lovable disposition but puzzles her teachers with strange questions and answers. She says her future intentions are undecided. GEORGE LLOYD MELLOTT lie isn't as young as he looks and can be very sedate and sober when he wants to impress you. Some people whisper that he is inclined to be a “dandy” but whether it is true or not we leave for you to decide. 11 is desire is to become a famous author. ROSALIE MAGEE Although she Is small, those who can hear will find her. She is liked by all as she is so jolly. She says she has no ••Plan” for the present but for the future- well maybe. BERT PARKER-The “Ichabod” of our class, is of a studious disposition. He does not mind in the least living on the edge of town, hut he never forgets others in like circumstances. ROXIE PARKER— Was lx rn in Auburn, in 1887. Since she lives not in the present and trusts not to the future, she is radically averse to answering questions, and so we know' little about her. If you want to please her ask her to smile. CLIFFORD ROTH KOOK Began to squall for Castoria at Hiawatha, Kansas, in 1889,and although he seems small enough to still squall for it, he is not as young as he was a long tim ago. His favorite expression is, “It’s the little things in life that count.” EDNA BROWNING ROHRS Appeared before the scenes at Humboldt, in 1888.and will doso again May 20, 1907, as “Aunt Lindy.” Her greatest pleasure in life is to pluck “Sweet Wil jams” and to please “Missie.” WILBER ROWEN Although he is too bashful to notice the girls they will group together at the window and watch, with an admiring eye, the majestic swing of Ids figure as he walks across the campus. EDNA PA I. SX V This charming maiden was l orn sometime in the year 1. the records have lieen misplaced and she does not know the exact date. She says she is going to liea “schoolmarm,” hut a lot may happen before next Sept. Her motto is. “While there is life there is hope.” KATHRYN SHEPHARDSON Likes all the boys she knows, but especially the pretty ones with black hair. It would tire one’s hand to write all the good things that might be said concerning her future. NELLIE MABEL SIMPSON Came down with the April showers in 1888. Her main purpose in life, to the accomplishment of which she devotes every effort, is to get an education and w hen this Is finished to her satisfaction she expects to teach. HARRISON SHAFER This brilliant boy was born in 1888. and has been astonishing his fellow mortals ever since. He is both an athlete and a ladies man but we are not prepared to say in which he excels the most. IRENE TYLER The pride of her papa's household, was born in Auburn a long time ago, she can't remember when. Her second name is Neneeazine which means, an “Indian Princess.” Nothing more need be said of her as her name describes her perfectly. ROSA WILLIAMS The only flower of our class, is of such a quiet and retired disposition that it is hard to find out the facts concerning her, but we take it that she either expects to teach school or go to school after graduation. CHAS. WAYNE WEST This giddy lad is noted, in the A. II. S., for his quick movements and lively manners. He cares so little about his future life that he doesn't even think of it.

EDITORIAL COMMENT The class of ’07 has held its place in the High School. It's members have taken active part in debating, athletics and cadet work. For four veal’s they have done their part toward furthering the interests and raising the standards of the Auburn High School. And now that the time of graduation is drawing near there is a feeling of regret that their places will so soon he filled by others. In their pride of what they have accomplished they feel that never again will Senior class wear the dignities of their position as they are wearing them. They are sure the Freshmen were never less green, that never did Sophomores study harder, that the Juniors were nevermore lively than when the Class of ’07 went through those stages. Hut it is a blind class pride. When they stop to consider they realize that each year the High School becomes better, that the facilities are larger, that the work is not going to stop because they are leaving. Let them have their pride now. In later years when they look back on their Alma Mater they will recognize each improvement and feel only pleasure in noting that each class comes nearer reaching the ideal. Any one acquainted with the High School has seen for some time that both teachers and pupils were handicapped to quite an extent, in their efforts to do excellent work, by lack of room. The only ultimate solution is a new, modern, up-to-date High School building, hut the time does not seem to l e ripe to start such a structure, so in the light of these conditions the Board of Education has decided to build a small frame edifice for a lab-ratory and recitation room. This will relieve the congested condition and make the work easier for teachers and pupils. Another teacher will he added to the faculty and the present course changed and enlarged. Instead of offering only one course, there will he three courses, a Latin and a German course, an English counse and the Normal training course. We believe that the change from one to three courses is going to be a great improvement. Latin is a study from which we derive a great deal of value, hut there are some who would rather drop out than undertake it. and we believe that such pupils will remain and l e greatly benefited by taking such subjects as Business Arithmetic. Commercial Law and English in its place. The Auburn High School always sends out a number of teachers each year, which have proven themselves the strongest teachers in the county. The Normal training course will greatly benefit those intending to teach and enable the High School to furnish more teachers. This course will enable graduates to receive certificates without attending Normal school. We believe that the Auburn High School stands at the head of its class among the high schools of the state and this change in the course will place us a step higher in point of efficiency. The attendance, as a consequence, will he larger. The proposed addition is only temporary and if Auburn is to continue in the advanced position she holds as a school town, she must be ready in 1908 or 1909 to build a high school building in conformity with her educational needs. SCARLET AND GREEN ALUMNI DEPARTMENT l =□ Graduates we of the Alumni, greet you. After following in the footsteps of your predecessors along the educational highway of the Auburn High School, you are about to become members of our host of immortals. This is not particularly your fault, but is the result of a custom dat ing back to that dim and misty past, when the class of 1889 had become possessed of knowledge to such an extent that its further al -sorption in the high school was impossible nay, dangerous. Graduation was the natural result—and the Alumni followed. This class of 1889 was in fact the Alumni mustard seed, which, taking root, has year by year grown with each succeeding consignment of graduates until in A.D. 1907 its dimensions has assumed gigantic proportions. But still there is no fear of there not being room for the new' arrivals. Each spring old Conductor Time asks us to “step up front, please,” and we move forward another year. Laughing and talking, the Seniors swarm aboard our car, waving farewells and shouting good-byes to their Junior companions at the High School. There are a few moments while we give our new associates hearty words of welcome and congratulation. Then our car starts with a jerk, for our conductor does not believe in sentiment, and we are off to the hurry, jostle, noise and hurly-burly of the world—the world with its success and failure, its pleasure and pain, the joy of accomplishment and the dull heartache of hope deferred. And at almost every street crossing in this busy life, some of our meml)ers leave us and on we rush, for Time makes no allowance for stops in his schedule. Seniors sometimes resent the patronizing air and paternal anxiety vouchsafed them by the Alumni. This we always overlook—making due allowance for t heir youth and the jealous care with which they protect what they consider their newly found liberty. We felt the same way once, ourselves, and therefore have due charity. But sooner or later our newly welcomed members of 07 will learn, as have older members of the Alumni. in taking their places in the world, there is a vast difference l etween many a High School theory and the actual practice, shoulder to shoulder with other men in the battle of life. This statement is in no sense a diatribe toward our glorious Alma Mater: she has done the best for you she could in the way of general information, as it is not within her province to dictate your future life work. As High School student you should have absorbed those general instructions: as an Alumnus you must learn to segregate from the total mass that knowledge which bears directly on your chosen walk in life. Unless you choose to be a “schoolma’am you will have to '‘unlearn much so far as carrying into actual life-work all the branches taken as a Senior. The study of botany w ill not help you to any alarming extent should you take up law as a profession: nor will an average of 99 in ancient history or la tin give certain evidence of your dazzling success as an electrical engineer or foreman of a pie foundry. Rut neither will these studies hurt or hinder you. The pioneer class of 1899 is the leaven which leavened the large—and constantly growing lump. In the past eighteen years the ranks of the Alumni have been swelled by the same number of graduating classes. These classes have been composed of varying numbers of students, but have shown a gradual increase the Class of 07 breaking all records in point of numbers. The following is the record as shown by the archives of the Alumni: ( lass of 1890 tt “ 1891 8 tt i it 1892 9 tt tt tt 1893 it tt t. 1894 0 it ii ii 189.) ii t. it 1890 1 ii tt tt 1897 12 it tt ,t 1898 4 ii tt 1899 12 it tt tt 1900 18 it 4 4 M 1901 20 ti it ii 1902 17 • • 4 4 1903 18 ft ft tt it 1904 .. i M t. 1905 20 tt it 1900 “ 4 4 4 4 1907 “ Verily a goodly number, representing today in the ranks of the Alumni many of the alert and successful business men of Auburn and Nemaha county and the rest of the world-and the feminine contingent appearing as the prudent and successful housekeepers, loving wives and help meets, and the fond mothers of the Alumni of tomorrow'. The Class of 07 is soon to become members of our organization and assume their various studies in the great university of life. The personnel of the class justifies great expectations as to their ultimate success in life. Let them not forget their Alma Mater in the busy years to come, but, as members of the Alumni, be ever ready to welcome the yearly advent of new members, proud of our swelling numbers, and with words of hope for the coming success of each new addition. At our annual reception we will leave our various duties in the professions, businesses and trades behind us, and remembering only the pleasures of school life, again. Graduates, we of the Alumni will greet you. 24 SCARLET AND GREEN ------------ YELL Senioi s Forever Live Ever Die Never We Never Shall Sever To Win We’ll Endeavor «r CLASS OFFICERS President..........................Roy Ootrell Vice-President.....................

Their attitude during their short stay could no have l een better and we hope they will come again. They were invited out to supper by different members of our class and a hurried reception was given them in the evening, in the club rooms of the court house, which were beautifully decorated for the occasion. They departed at a late hour, each declaring they had had a fine time. On Wednesday, April 17, tlie seniors took a half holiday, which had been earned by perfect days. Some were iniustrious and cleared up the remains of the reception which hid been given the Humboldt visitors, a few prospective school “inarms” visited various schools, w hile a few prospective (?) took lessons in domestic science. c The annual Inter-class field meet took place at the fair grounds April 11. and as was anticipated the Seniors ‘ walked off” easy with honors. Those entering from our class were: Harrison Shafer, Roy Cottrell. William Rowen, James Bellas, Bert Parker, and Way land Hawley. A reception was given in their honor, the following evening by the Senior girls. A fine time was had by all and the refreshments were “doubly” enjoyed by some. «r Rev.

As they entered the doorway their hearts seemed to beat loud enough to be heard all over the building. They dodged their own shadows and shook with fear when a teacher chanced to look their way. Hut how soon that feeling passed away.

Two Judges deciding in favor of Beatrice, and one in favor of Auburn, Auburn winning in rebuttal and argument an i Beatrice in delivery. The A. II. S. won the victory last year, the B. H. S. this year, an I here’s to the Auburn High School for next year- victory! m In February we received a challenge from the Walioo High School for a debate to lie held some time in April. The challenge was accepted and after some time the following question was selected. Auburn supporting the Negative Resolved that the Japanese should be admitted to citizenship on the same basis as Europeans. Floyd Mellot ’07. Varro Tyler '08 and Chas. Peery dm were chosen to represent the High School. It was to have occured April 12, but on account of the death of a relative of one of our Representatives it was necessary to postpone it for two weeks. Then word was received from Walioo calling olT the Debate. No satisfactory reasons lieing given efforts were made to have them re-consider their action but to no avail. Our team had spent a great deal of time and hard work in preparation and had an extremely strong Debate prepared and were contidend of Winning with ease. Walioo evidently had came to the same conclusion regarding our abilities, hence their decision was to call off the Delia te. They should lie excused however as this is their first year in Debating. Next year perhaps they will have courage to get to the tiring line. SCARLET AND GREEN 20 ATHLETICS Continued from nii e II.) first experience at basket ball and proved himself a good center. Keedy and Armstrong were lx th excellent guards considering they were much smaller than their opposing forwards. We were certainly sorry to lose Armstrong, because of serious illness. We hope he may he back next year. Both substitutes played an excellent part when they had a chance. The first game of the year was played with Hum-boldt High School, on the Auburn field. The IIum boldt players, who have been toget her for a numljer of years, won an easy victory. The score was 23 toil. But. in spite of the sad feeling: all enjoyed a good time at the reception given in the evening. A splendid time was reported by all. We enjoyed their visit very much and hope to meet them again next year. The next game was played with Nebraska City. The l)oys lost the game but returned home reporting a good time. They played the City team a very-close game. At the end of the first half our boys warmed up and and finished with a score of 24 to24. The tie was played resulting in Nebraska City’s favor, 24 to 27. If this game had been played on our own field, we without a doubt would have won. The last game of the basket ball series was played on the Auburn field against the Peru State Normal. After a hard fought and interesting game Peru carried off the victory. On April 11, 1907, the A. II. S. held its annual interclass field meet Owing to a high wind the records were very poor. Guilllatt did not get to enter the meet on account of sickness, and Mellot was not in town. Points were made in the events by the following: KVKNTS FI RST SECOND THIRD KM) yd Shafer Haw ley Holmes 440 yd Haw ley Kuhlman York B. jump Shafer Cottrell-Goddard Mile Cottrell Souders Rogers Shot Hawley Kuhlman (ioddard II. jump Goddard Shafer-Gilman Kuhlman-Simmons Half mile Cottrell York Souders 220 yd Simmons Holmes K uhlman Relay Seniors Freshmen Sophomores On account of the high wind the pole vault was omitted.

Several games were played with the town team for practice which helped our players to a great extent. On April 20the Highlanders and High School played at the fair grounds with the result in the High School's favor. The score ended 22 to 17—the High School ! eing forced to play several substitutes. On April 27. we again played the Highlanders. It was a much closer game and resulted in a score of 10 to 7 in favor of the High School. Before the end of the season we expect to play several neighboring schools in base ball, and besides our annual inter scholastic High School meet to have a dual meet with Peru Normal. Although we have met defeat several times this year certainly have had a successful year in many ways. More students have taken part in athletics than ever before and the true aim of athletics has been kept in mind. An aid to the individual pupil and not to train a few individual pupils to represent the school. FRKSHMEN ITEMS (Continued jrom 23) In January the Freshmen went for a sleigh-ride. Two of the teachers, Mr. Ludden and Miss Bullock, accompanied them. An enjoyable evening was spent: laughter and shouts of merriment seemed to t e the chief amusements. They did not have many adventures, falling from the sleigh being the most thrilling. One boy is said to have fallen out not less than fifteen times. Can you guess who it was? c At the beginning of this year forty-three pupils were enrolled in the Freshman class: we now have thirty-six. «■ The Freshmen are glad to get back several of their “measley” class-mates. YVe have had more measles and scarlet fever this year than any other class in the High School. Hallow een night, some of the Freshmen surprised Ethel McElhaney and spent the evening at her home in South Auburn. A very pleasant evening was spent in merry games. At a late hour refreshments were served, and soon after the tired merry-makers returned home. w Miss Frankie Puckett has been al sent several weeks on account of sickness. c We are quite sorry that Earl Killarney w ill not l)e numbered with our class next year, as he. with his parents, will move to Atchison. Kansas, at the close of school. ;Continued on JHUje :VJ) 30 SCARLET AND GREEN As a result of the martial spin used throughout the land, by the . ,anish-American war, a cadet company was organized in the High School seven years ago. Since that time the interest has kept up remarkably well. Membership in the company is entirely voluntary. Drill is held three times a week in good weather. By this the members obtain a thorough knowledge of the Manual of Arms and the movements provided in the School of the Squad and (Company. Aside from the information thus, gained, it helps them to a better carriage and walk. Every year several days are spent in an encampment, where all the details of a genuine military camp are reproduced, lievielie, mess, guard mount, drills, parade, review, retreat and taps are regularly signaled and obeyed. A great deal is learned and much fun had. This year the company will encamp sometime near the fifteenth of May. The following is the roster: OFEK 'KUS E. Guy Simpson, late 1st Lieut., 20th Kan.

Ix'ing compelled to discontinue teaching her school, on account of measles, her place was taken by one of our graduates. Lloyd Mellot. who finished the term very successfully. «r Into the happiness of our High School life some sadness has lieen mingled by the death of three of our members. In the ninth grade our first loss occurred in the death of Bessie Keyt. In the tenth we were compelled to part with a classmate whom we all loved, Hazel Anderson. We felt that our class had more than its share of death. But in the summer of the same year, Nellie Wilds was also numtx red among them. Her quiet, gentle ways bad won her a place in the class that has never lx en filled. Now that the time of graduation is approaching we often think of those that are gone, and bold their memory with reverence. SOPHOMORE SIDE LIGHTS [Continued from jut ye 26 member of the class.

Phillip Horn and Pearl Hibson dropped out in order to work. Lloyd Laugh-1 in had to give up his school work on account of ill health and will not l e able to resume his studies this year. A farewell reception was given, by Minnie Bath, in honor of our first president. Annaliel Glasgow, who, with her parents, departed for Omaha where they will make their future home. Annabel is missed greatly by the class for she always proved a sincere president and friend. «r They're fine! They’re line! Who’s fine? Naught Nine! m On April 1st the Sophomores reminded the other classes that it was the day for fun by the girls ap-pearing in sun bonnets and sleeve aprons while the hoys appeared in overalls. m We have studied Myers Ancient History this pear and have completed the book besides drawing several maps and taking Source work once a week. m A party was tendered the Sophomore boys by the girls of the class as a token of appreciation for the splendid sleigh rides. €T Although the mem tiers of the tenth grade rejoice that four of the presen faculty will he with us the coming year, we cannon express our deep regret at losing our present principal, for we feel that no other can take his place among us. m We are looking forward with pleasure to taking our places in the assembly room next fall for we shall then feel as tho we are nearing the coveted goal. c Boomerang! Shanghi; Kiyi! Kiyi! Biff! Boom! Bang! Sophomores! FRESHMEN ITEMS (Continued from pa ye W) Susie Kelligar has lieen absent several months on accont of sickness. We miss her very much, for she was one of our liest students. c May the Hrst, on returning home from a Maying party, Arminta Nicholl was quite surprised to find the crowd with whom she had been Maying, awaiting her coming. They reminded her that it washer fifteenth birthday, then all proceeded to have a g(nxl time. At a late hour they departed for home, wishing Arminta many more happy birthdays. Among others who have celebrated their birthdays this term are, George Holiday, Gertrude McAdams and Edith (’lark. m May the eighth, a very enjoyable evening was siient by the Freshmen, at a class party given at the Woodman hall. The faculty and most of the mem Ix rs of the class were present. Theevening program was given by the teachers and the class, and the rest of the evening was spent in games and havinga social go xl time. As this was the Freshman’s last gathering for this term, they made the best of the event, departing at a late hour, the boys declaring they had at least done justice to the refreshments. SCARLET AND GREEN 33 NO. 82 ( V n tin rtfit from pag I ) thinking, lie grabbed up the suit case and rushed for the door. A few moments later when lie untangled himself from a thicket of hri irs and vines the rumble of tlie train w..s dying away in the dist mee. The suit ease was gone but after crawling around on his hands and knees in the vicinity where he had landed he found it again and scrambling up the steep bank to the track he looked around. Away to bis light was a light, probably shining from the window of some farm house, and towards that Lorington set ut. It seemed to him that he had waded thro mud and water for hours before he was knocking at the door of that house and Mr. Wood, a little fat man with silver rimmed glasses perched on the end of his nose, was asking him what he could wish at that hour of the night. “Stay all night? Why sure come right on in,” was his cheery response to Loring-ton’s inquiry for a place to sleep. “Here take a chair by the stove, my wife’s in bed but I’ll get you a lunch. Its lucky youcame to-night, any other night you’d have found me in bed but it just happened I’m going down to the depot to meet my niece. Its a mighty inconvenient time of the night to go but still I don’t mind it. I always like Marian to come down, she just lives eighty-two miles northwest of here and she often comes,” and Mr. Wood busy preparing the lunch did not notice his guest. Lorington fairly gasped and Mr. Wood had to ask him to come to the table twice before he keaid him. Lorington finished his lunch hurriedly and went to his room, lit the light and opened the suit case with tlie pleasant anticipation of dry clothes, but there amidst a heap of dainty white ruffles, wound around in a nest of combs and hair pins was a woman’s switch. Quick as a Hash he remembered he had left his suit case with Paxton but whose could this be? “1 must of stolen it.” he muttered sleepily, and threw himself on the bed. The sun was shining bright next morning when he was awakened by Mr. Wood calling him to breakfast. The dry clothes problem was the first to confront him, but this was easily solved and in a few moments Phil Lorington, the always well dress clothing salesman, was wending his way to the dressing room clad in a pair of blue overalls and heavy work shoes. “My wife.” said Mr. Wood,and niece, Miss Wood,” and Lorington shook hands with a little old lady with snow white hair and with the young girl whose laughing brown eyes plainly betrayed her amusement at his queer dress. If there was one thing he prided himself in it was his clothes and it was imposible to appear at ease and especially with a pretty girl sitting opposite him at the breakfast table and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Mr. Wood say he was going to the city that morning. He immediately announced his intentions of going with him but this Mr. Wood would not consent to until he had promised them a visit in the near future. As they climbed into the farm wagon, Lorington with his suit case. Miss Wood called from the porch “don’t forget to ask for my suit case Uncle Henry.” She left her suit case on the train last night said Mr. Wood to Lorington as they started out but Lorington knew only to well that she hadn’t left it. but bow was he to explain? Six months later. Lorington was standing in the lobby of the big hotel in that western town where he had first encountered number 82 when Paxton rushed up and grabbed his hand with “say old chap you never finished telling me about that suit case scrape you got into just after you got back from the east iast fall? How did you get rid of it and is 82 still hoodooed?” Lorington laughed. No. 82 is my lucky number now. Why my wife even wears just about 82 hairpins in that switch of lid's, and the suit case, oh, I just kept that until we went on the wedding trip. Come up to dinner with me I want you to meet my wife.” The Carson National Bank of Auburn No. 3628 Capital, $60,000 Surplus, $40,000 Deposits, $330,000 J7T Cordially invites the business of conservative TU people, feeling confident that its well known facilities will render an account once established permanently agreeable and profitable.
