Plattsmouth boys on our floor. They were “little fellows” and were outclassed in a 11 points of the (tame. At the first sound of the whistle our boys started with a rush and played the Plattsmouth five “clear off their feet.” Plattsmouth secured only one field goal during the evening and probably wouldn’t have received that had not our guard slipped and fallen just as be started to jump to stop the ball. Clevenger, guard, never left his man for an instant and every time the ball even came near his goal, he was present to send it hack up the field where It, quite naturally, dropped through the basket. Our other four boys played for the goals and they dropped the ball through the rings with about even honors Yochum, center, threw 5 field goals; Mastin, guard, threw 9; Souders. forward, threw 9, and York, forward, threw 10 Together with the free throws, our boys made 69 points and Plattsmouth 8. This is the first game tbh year that the people of our town, outside the school, have supported even fairly well. No wonder we won. That’s enough to make almost any team win. Think it over for yourself. Isn’t it? February 13. Nebraska City boys cancel game at last minute. Plattsmouth remains and plays us a second game. Easy money. 70 to 12. Whose favor? Ours, of course. Many town people out. How could we help but win? Lack of interest in the past two years in basket ball on the part of both students and town people has causedthe Auburn High School to develop very poor teams. It is a fact, we have not won many games this year, but still we have won more than any other team which has represented Auburn in the last three years. 1’he team of ’07 and the team of ’l8 lost every game played. However this year there has been an “awakening” among the students and the team of ’09 has started the High School on the road to success. This year our team has taken longer trips and played much faster teams than the school has ever played before. We have also played more games thi� year than in all previous years taken together. With this good start the squad next 2 SCARLET AND GREEN year as well as in years to come cannot help but be successful if the students keep up tbeir spirit and continue to demand that their school be recognized a9 one of '.he leading High Schools in the state. This issue goes to the press too early to give an account of the Syracuse-Auburn game. MERCHANT OF VENICE UP-TO-DATE “Great minds run in the same channel. This old saying was carried out when the above play was given on March 4, the same day that President Taft stepped into bis chair of honor. Both the boys’ and girls’ athletic associations have had very bad luck financially this year. At our basket ball games at home we have had very poor support from our town people. No school can accomplish much without this support. The town people are a part of the school and should support it whether it is representing itself i an athletic contest or in some other department. Our associations were deeply in debt and a plan to raise the money to pay the debt was suggested. Why not give ‘a play by the students of the school. We had the talent, so certain pupils and faculty “got busy” hunting up a suitable play. “ Merchant of Venice, Up-to-date’ by William Shakespeare, was decided upon. The play was “slightly revised and modernized.’ It was a thrilling tal ? of the gridiron, two lovers, school work and everything that makes one think of the present time of life. The play was a success in every feature. The door receipts were not as large as the populaton of our city should have made them, still they were large enough to wipe the deficiency out of existence. The students of the Auburn High school are proud to have such an array of talented young people in their midst and each student has certainly appreciated the way the following cast of characters has worked so hard, under the supervision of our English teacher, Miss Shively, to uphold the standard of the school.

Seniors! The class had a Valentine party at the Woodman hall on the 15th of Febrauary. One of the principal features of the evening was a mock wedding, Joy Cummings and Robert Armstrong being bride and groom. Goldia VanHouten and Charles Peery standing up with them, while Percy Janes acted as ring-bearer. Louie Rogers was the officiating magistrate. After the ceremony a light lunch was served as a wedding banquet. Charles Yochura, one oCthe two ugly boys back in the corner, was on the sick list for a week. Each member of the class sent him a post card. The boys of the class were invited to a birthday surprise for Guy Rhodes. The guests first assembled at the Avenue Hotel and then went in a body to the Rhodes residence. A very pleasant evening was spent and delicious refreshments were served. Percy Janes was absent a week on account of sickness. Clarence Tucker had a slight attack of pneumonia. We are glad to see him again in school. On March 1st each member of the class received a unique invitation to attend a party given by Charles Curzon and Charles Peery at the home of the latter. The following evening they assembled and had a very pleasant time. A delicious two course luncheon was served and each guest received a beautiful carnation as a souvenir. Mary Bellas was absent two weeks on account of i!lness. JUNIOR JARGON John Stoddard was elected to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of the Junior class president, Ruth K lligar. Our class in English has begun Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities. It is not known whether any of the Seniors read fairy tales of The Goblin of the Apples, or Gretchen of the Pear, as one of them in the Junior History class spoke concerning William of the Orange.” Several of our classes were recently visited by the teachers of Weeping Water High School. Lillian Ginn was absent a week on account of sickness. Paul Quackenbush has been absent from his classes as he is visiting relatives in DeWitt, Nebraska. John Simmons recently spent the afternoon at school. On the evening of March 10th was to have occurred a Junior class party, but the snow was just right for sleighing, so we packed into a bob sled and went for a ride instead. Although the boys missed their icecream they soon forgot it in their attempts to eat all the candy the girls brought. The Junior class in Latin having completed Cicero’s Four Orations Against Catiline, are now studying his minor orations. We are confident that it was the Special Delegation ’ from the Junior class that influenced our A. H. S. debators to win at Tecumseh. Hallie Workman went to Omaha on a visit and while there attended Hamlet,” one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays. L Stranger—Is that large book an Annual? Freshman—No sir. Only 50c. 9 SCRALET AND GREEN 5 SOPHMORE SOPHISTRY Pearle Redfern is back again after a few days of absence. Ralph Quackenbush spent a few days in Dewitt the latter part of last week. Hazel Reed enjoyed a day’s vacation in Omaha last Friday. Although the evening of February 22ad was very djsmal and rainy, a most cheerful crowd of Sophomores gathered at the Friday Club hall. Refreshments are a very important factor to the Sophomores and when the social committee had finally succeeded in chasing a few naughty class mates out of the kitchen they devottd the rest of the evening to various games and amusements. At a late hour the refreshments were I passed and, of course, eaten. Soon afterwards the Sophomores departed much elated over the success of the party. In a recent meeting of the Sophomore class the motion for securing class pins was lost, but it was voted to have a class picture put in the Annual. The Sophomore class assembled last Wednesday night at the schoolbouse for a sleigh ride. The sleigh arrived about seven-thirty and everybody dim’ ed in. On account of the lack of snow in the main roads we were compelled to secure another team. Everything went on smoothly for a while until we started down a side street. There we were assailed by a volley of “ice ’ balls from some hidden fortress. In crouching down to evade the missiles, the sideboards were broken and out tumbled a bunch of frightened Sophomores No one was hurt, however, and we soon crowded back into the sleigh to start for home. We have just completed our study of Silas Marner in English. r ft FRESHMEN FRIVOLITIES Amo, pugno, Dogs and cats. Imps and Angels, Rough on rats; Upside, Downside, Red and white; We are Freshmen, We’re all right. Lizzie Kid well has been absent on account of sickness. Anna Adamson went to Omaha some time ago. Thorwald Peterson was absent a few days on account of sickness. Soph —“Say, Walter, what is your favorite candy? ’ Walter—“Oh, my favorite candy is ‘irint’. Sad’e Stanley has re-entered school. Donald Robertson has been absent on account of sickness. Paul Keedy is going to try .is fortune as a cadet. We are very sorry to hear that Muriel Thomas is going to move to Missouri. Miss Shively—You are a pretty sharp boy, Archie. Archie—Well, I'd ought to be. Pa takes me out to the woodshed and strops me three or four times a week. Sedgwick Howe has re-joined the cadet company.

Stoddard, Alumni Grace Miller, Senior Verne Wright, Freshmen Wa “ H na(A,hWk Walter York, Exchange John Stoddard, Cadet Hallie Workman. Junior Gladys Harlan, Sophomore Carl Holme . Artist CHARLES PEERY, CLARENCE TUCKER, Business Managers The work of the Editorial Staff of the Scarlet and Green for the present year is completed and we bid our many readers ADIEU. We have each acted out our several parts to the best of our ability, and being inexperienced in this line, have trusted our friends to overlook all deficiencies. We realize that there is always room for improvement and hope that the Auburn High School as it draws nearer and nearer perfection, will from year to year publish a stronger and better paper. We sincerely thank all friends, citizens and post graduates who have shown a kindly interest in our school by subscribing for “The Scarlet and Green. Some of the knockers of the school have said, and probably with some truth, that the Auburn High School is degenerating in the line of track athletics. When asked what Auburn’s chance of winning the Southeastern is, they laugh and take the idea of Auburn getting a place as a joke, making some remark about the 1-3 of a point won by Auburn last year. Now let us give you a little piece of advice. Stop knocking. It only skins your knuckles and doesn’t do yourself or anyone else any good. Even if we have been defeated several times, what is the use to croak abou it. If you keep it up you’ll spoil your voice. So cut it out. Get loyal and boost. If you can’t get out and do something yourself, help and encourage those who are trj'ing to do their best for their school. Even the boosters, when asked the aforesaid question, sigh and say they wish we could win something but are afraid we can’t. There is no more time to sit around be wailing our condition. The time has come when good, hard boosting is the only thing to do. There is not the least reason why we should not win the field meet this year, if every one would get out and try to do something. The trouble with us the past three years has been that we have not practiced enough. There are student- in the school who could do something if they would. There was a Sophomore in the school last year who, if he had tried could have made the mile run in less time than the winner did at the Southeastern. Last year in spite of all the demand and pleadings of the coach, the fellows put off practice until about tnree weeks betore the “Meet.” They left for the great eve: t of the season with three weeks’ practice, to compete with teams which had been practicing for months. You know the result. Auburn camr out at the little end of the horn. Let us take warning from the past and prepare for the future. GET OUT AND PRACTICE. We have some of the best material in the state in our 7 SCARLET AND GREEN school. If we work diligently there is no reason why we should not win the statue this year and the next and the next. Of course there is no need of beginning the rigid dieting and hard practice which comes a few weeks before the striggle but neither is there any need of eating anything and everything We should begin to take light exercise which will work off any superfluous flesh and which will strengthen the muscles. Any of the habits which go to weaken the muscles should be stopped if we would be ready to meet the requirements. We have noticed several of the upper classmen out practicing for the various events but have seen only a few Freshmen out. Now. Freshmen, you are the ones upon whom the honor of your school will rest for 'he next four years. You may not be able to do anything this year against the higher classmen, but if you compete this year, even if you don’t win anything, you will be in better condition next year. Students of the High School, get out and practice. If you will we are sure that the statue which is now in the possession of Falls City High School, will adorn the front of our assembly room the next year and the next and the next. To Whom It May Concern: On the evening of March 18, there occurred one of the dirtiest, meanest, most low-down, contemptible, despicable affairs which has ever happened in the history of the Auburn High School. On the evening mentioned, a debate took place between a team from the Nebraska State Normal School of Peru and c.ne of the Auburn High School Alumni Association. Following the debate, the members of the A. H S. Basnet Ball squad intended to give a candy feed for the purpose of buying a picture for the school Annual. The candy was placed in the entry, ready for sale, and the door locked Sometimes, however, iron bars will not keep out thieves and robbers. During the debate some of the tough, rowdy element of the town, also members nf the High School, climbed in at the window and, taking two large platters full of candy, made their escape, eating what they could and then, after the fashion of hogs who want to k®ep others out of the trough even after their own stomachp are full, the ruffians threw the rest away, kindly returning the platters. This dirty trick was done by members of the school. Furthermore, these renegades who did this are known to the editor and he highly resolves that their names shall be published abroad and that every member of the school and every citizen of the town shall know who they are. They should be ostracised from the society of all good students and citizens, and if the scoundrels who perpetrated this base atrocity had their just dues they would be placed where all thieves find their bode. The Editor. TREATISE ON HIGH JUMPING In the beginning was earth created; then, stop watches were invented. Figure for yourself how long the A. H. S. has been without one. But at last, tlsnks to the Holmes Gilman Publishing Co , Unl’t’d, the which is composed of Carl B. Holmes, Scaretoonist to His Majesty the King of Spades class of 1910, and Cozier Wellington Gilman INCORPORATED, class of 1909, we are to have one. These two young men, who are the big squeal in this matter, put their heads together and-PRESTO—behold A Treatise on High Jumping, benefit of stop watch for A. H. S. This little book is a bandy thing to have about the house, to lend o your neighbors, and when the baby has torn the cover off may be worn as a chest protector and liver pad. Everything in it is new and down to-date, why even the paper and printer's ink had never been used before, so it is with great pleasure, ladies and gentlemen, that we recommend it to the afflicted. (Thank you.) Don’t forget boys, that the baseball and track season has now opened, so all of us get busy and keep our flag high in the air. LITERARY AND DEBATING The Auburn High School Debating Team, composed of Louie Rogers, Alma Plasters and Mildred Hanna, have established during the last few weeks a record which few high schools can equal. Our team, as selected by Mr. Hanna, has won successively from Nebraska City, Plattsmouth and Tecumseh. This is a team of which the High school should be proud and to which should be lent its hearty support. NEBRASKA CITY VS. AUBURN. The first league debate in which Auburn is a member was held in the Presbyterian church in Auburn Feb. 19. 1909. Our opponent, the Nebraska City High school, was ably represented by William Utterback, Max M. Cohn and Milton Blundell, who supported the affirmative side of the question. The judges. Professors Whitenack. Searson and Hendricks, rendered Auburn a unanimous decision. Don’t forget the Annual. Only 50c. TECUMSEH VS. AUBURN. In a debate at Tecumseh Feb. 29, our team again maintained its prestige by defeating their opponents and adding another victory to their score The Tecumseh team was composed of Morgan Davis, Robert Davidson and George Chamberlain. Well, Auburn won again, so see that your friends have all subscribed for the Annual. A cook died in Brooklyn the other day worth $200,000 and the papers say she left no heirs. Have they looked in the butter? Cautiously our gang hero crept up to the redskins tent, slowly lifting the flap he peeped within. There lay the sleeping Indians. He raised his trusty winchester and took aim at the heart of the nearest savage. Purple whiskered Pete the Pirate never missed his mark and—(to be continued) —Curzon. Mr. Hanna —What is a direction, did you ever see one? Icky—Yes, sir. Mr. Hanna — Where? Icky—On a medicine bottle I asked the lady for her hand. In the sweetest tones I could command; £he answered me in accents bland, Go to papa. And when 1 found that he was dead And the kind of life he had lead, I knew her meaning when she said. Go to papa. SCARLET AND GREEN 9 EXCHAKC.ES To all of our Exchanges—The Scarlet and Green, with this issue, makes its final bow for 1909. We hope during the past year that we have, in some way or other, been of some benefit to you. We have appreciated the criticism we have received and we have tried to improve our paper by following some of your advice. Exchanges have been especially helpful to us this year as this is the first time for many years that the Auburn High school has published a paper. We have often had occasion to refer to some worthy models and our exchange table has always seemed the best place to go. The exchange table for 1910 gives you a cordial invitation to be on its list. Acorn. Oakland. Nebraska-You have a good paper for your first issue. Work hard and grow. Minister—My work in life is to save young men. Miss Shively—Oh, do save me a nice one, won't you? Advocate. Lincoln, Nebraska—Keep your advertising and reading material separate. Also get more cuts and you will find you have made quite an improvement. Ole Bennett-“Love me and the world is mine.” L. H.—It's yours. Avalanche. Telluride, Colorado-In choosing an exchange story for your paper, we are glad to see that you chose one that was original in our school. “The Haunted House” by Alma Plasters. When you copy a story from a paper, you should give the paper from which you copy credit for tne story instead of merely marKing it Exchange. Bob A.-Don't worry “Cur” because your becky has turned you down since you lost your money. There are as good fi9h in the sea as ever were caught. Curzon—Yes, I know, but I’ve lost my bait. (We’ll bet some Senior girl will have the nerve to get sore now.) Forum, St. Joseph, Missouri-Your February “Nonsense” department was fine. And they sang in opening exercises, “Zum Rhein, Zum Rhein, Zum Deutschen Rhein.” Hastings Collegian. Hastings, Nebraska-Your March number was up to your usual good standard. “Nuff sed.” Mr. Wagner (tapping on desk) Order! Order! Voice (in rear of room)-Ham and eggs, please. High School Echo, Nashville, Tennessee-You had a good literary department in your February number. 10 SCARLET AND GREEN Walter Andrews—Let us take the final step. A. N.—All right, but owing to tfte present fashions in skirts it will have to be short. Keamican. Kearney, Nebraska—You come to us for the first time andjwe gladly welcome you as an exchange. Your Christmas story, however, seems a little out of place in a February issue. Nugget, Lead, South Dakota—Your Valentine cover is the best we have seen. Your paper would have a better appearance if you would have it printed straight on your paper. Teacher—Can you tell me how many seasons there are? Freshie—Yes, ma’am, two. Teacher—Only two’ Well, name them. Freshie—Basket ball season and Base ball reason. Orange and Black, Falls Ci y, Nebraska-Get a new cover design and follow the advice of one of your exchanges, the “Nugget,” in its Valentine number. Oakel Young (coming in from the rain)—Gee. my hair is just soaked. Bob Boyd—Are you sure the rats are not drowned out? Optic, Columbus, Ohio—Pleased to meet you. We heartily welcome you to our list. Senior—Why don’t the wheels in that Freshman’s head run? Junior—I don’t know, why? Senior-Cause they are in u vacuum, see? Pharos, Buckhannon West Virginia—Your table of contents would look better inside your cover. A Treatise on High Jumping, The Holmes Gilman Pub. Co. —You are certainly a classy little book in every feature, and althougn not published in the interests of waterworks, should be supported fy every one of the “78.” Your Scaretoonist sh uld be complimented on the likeness to the original subjects which characterized his drawings. Purple and Gold. Bellevue, Nebraska—None better. Come again. Rustler, Fremont, Nebraska—Your March issue is better than the preceding one. Better class. Maybe. Maybe not. Tooter, South Omaha, Nebraska—Don’t overwork your aitist getting such a beautiful tag for your cover. Vera—Is LaVeta an artist? Hallie—Not so much of an artist but she paints well.

A man or woman who is dependent on others for bread or clothes is a Slave. A slave to incompetence—and that is the bitterest kind of serfdom. Graduates of good business colleges, absolutely without exception, have paying positions awaiting them. They do not have to advertise for a place, borrow, beg. steal, or stand in the ‘bread line.’ So popular have business colleges now become that most of the big universities have put in a commercial department, trying to meet the competition.’’ “You are doing a great and splendid work and 1 congratulate you on it.
