We were given the hearty reception that beginners receive each year. The first month we organized our class, elected officers, adopted colors and composed our yells of which other classes soon became aware- Martin Souders was elected president, Vera Anderson vice president, Oakel Young secretary and treasurer. We soon had money in the treasury and a curious tin bank was given to the class by Vera Anderson. This bank we have kept through the four years of High school. Both boys and girls began active work in athletics the first year; the girls had a complete class team in basket ball and there were two from the class who were substitutes for the High school team. For our Sophomore year we re elected both Martin Souders and Oakel Young to their former offices. We took an active and creditable part in the debating contest, there being four debaters from our class. We had two girls in the girls’ basket ball team and one boy in the boys’ team. Ethel McElhaney was captain of the team this year and the two following years. Wa also had several parties and a sleigh ride. We regret to say that we lost one of our prominent members, Lettie Bryant. However, our loss was Omaha’s gain since she entered the High school there. Upon entering our third year of High school we elected Paul Stoehr president. Oakel Young was re-elected secretary and treasurer for the third time. We did not keep Paul as our president long for he entered the Senior class and we elected John Stoddard to fill the vacancy- We had the honor of having one of our classmates, Mildred Hanna, on the debating team, and three girls on the girls’ basket ball team. The boys made second place in the High school field meet, and helped the school in winning their points at the district meet. At the close of the year Carl Holmes left us to enter the Omaha High school. Here again our loss was Omaha’s gain. As Seniors we have furnished the entire debating team and all but one member of the basket ball team. The debating team was composed of LaVeta Snow, John Stoddard and Ruth Kelligar. LaVeta was chosen to represent us in the Southeastern debate and received third place. We are also proud of the fact that so many of the Senior girls are in the A. H. S. Glee club, and that we have one member, Hallie Workman, who received first place in the district declamatory contest and made a high standing in the state contest This shows that there is talent along many lines in the class of '10. The faculty was kind enough to give us a day for a picnic this year. Miss Shively went with us and we spent the day among the beautiful hills of Brownville. Although we did not arrive home until late in the night, we were alll at school the next day on time and able to do double work. The class has proven to the rest of the school their ability for handling orations. From the history of the class of ’10, we conclude that they are capable of going on and taking up new work which meets each one upon leaving High school. There is higher and better work for each of us and we leave A. H. S. with the hope of accomplishing great things in the future. However, we shall always think of the Auburn High school as our old home, in which we hope to have gained many friends and to have lost few. ropljrcf) One bright May day morning in the year nineteen hundred and ten, with a hayrack for a ship, with Ray Farris for helmsman, Miss Shively for pilot and Seniors as deck passengers, I sailed eastward and dropped anchor at the historic city of Brownville. A large part of that day was spent with my companions in rambling about the hills and viewing the ancient ruins. Late in the afternoon while strolling apart from the crowd, I came upon a little path leading away into the woodland and up over the hills. Into this path I stepped and, quickening my pace, was soon alone with nature. Though all was solitary, I followed the path through the trees and over the hills until I found myself upon the topmost part of a high bluff, from which point the distant hillls of Iowa and Missouri were plainly visible while that great river, the “Muddy Waters,” lying almost beneath my feet, silently rolled away toward the Southland. Here upon a moss covered stone I seated myself supposing that I was entirely alone- After some moments of silent musing, I heard a soft rustling sound to my left and turning in that direction I beheld a few pacesa way. seated in the mouth of an ancient cave, the bent form of an old woman. Her dark hair, streaked with gray, fell over her shoulders, the face was thin and wrinkled, but the eyes were bright and expressive. Before I could collect my wits she said, looking me full in the face, “Good afternoon, Miss. Oh you are a member of a graduating class- Let me see, there are twenty-five in your class, seventeen young ladies and eight young gentlemen. I have never seen this group but I know that they are a promising lot and that they are just entering upon the ‘Great Journey of Life.’ ” From these remarks I could readily see that this strange personage must be a fortune teller with prophetic vision, and it occurred to me that she might be able to furnish interesting information concerning the future of myself and the other members of my class. As her manner was kind and pleasing, I advanced toward her and seated myself on the root of an old tree close by her side, feeling that I could lose nothing by coming in close contact with one who seemed even more angelic than human. She first closely looked me over from head to foot, then quietly took my hand and began: “Tell the members of your class that as they are now upon the very threshold of life, most of which up to this time has been only sunshine, yet it woud be well that each should understand that ‘life is real, life is earnest, and the grave is not its goal.’ And that each will find that he must build for himself the ladder on which to rise. “Miss, I can’t speak to you in detail of all the successes and failures, all the joys and sorrows of each member of your class, but if I should offer a few lines for each, I would begin with the stately Miss Yochum, ‘May,’ as her schoolmates call her. I have noticed she always accompanies her words with a natural smile. This is because she has a true and loving disposition which will serve her well in fighting life’s battles; in fact, one who always meets friend or foe, play or a difficult task with a smile will have no foes and few troubles. I count on May, wherever her path may lead, to scatter sunshine and win by that power which never fails, honest effort and true worth. “If you ask me about John-'Honest John’ Stoddard, I will say that I cannot prophesy that John will some day be president of the United States, but of this I am sure, hi has in him the essentials tu accomplish somehting and it can be safely counted that in life he will not spend his time sitting on a dry goods box, whittling and telling his auditors how to run the government, but will be up and doing, always faithfully performing the task which is nearest at hand. “Ruth will enter life with her quiet earnest disposition and her path way for some time will lie along the line of teaching, in which she will do effective work. If later she should have a little school of her own, I am sure that purity, order and high ideals will be domiciled there. “There are things in this world that are not worth a nickle but Arminta is not one of them. She can stand her own ground on any proposition, and the man who wins her heart will find that he has gotten more than an ordinary ‘Nichol.’ “Robert Boyd would make an able attorney-at-law, or gracefully fill the chair of science in a first class high school, but I rather expect him to settle down into the business world and in a few years be noted as one of the ablest financiers in the community in which he lives. “If I am alive and well five years from now, I intend to take a journey to Lincoln, Nebr., and I expect to see on one of the windows in the Burr block, this sign, ‘Vera Anderson, Attorney-at-Law.’ “That ‘Highland’ lassie Eva Reed will in time choose a ‘Highland’ laddie and together they will be happy in their ‘Highland’ home. “Cora Guilliatt, having heard that the last four teachers in District 20 had secured a life partner at the close of school, has bent all her energies to become the teacher in that district for the next year. She’ll get the school and then like her four predecessors will be ‘got.’ “And ‘Bingo-’ I must speak a word for ‘Bingo.’ That young man will not make his way through this world with bluster and bombast, but whenever there is anything to be done, which requires a cool head, steady nerve and faithful heart, where merit and not sham is wanted, Bingo, if in reach, is the man that will be in demand. May the fates be kind to Bingo. “Ruby is one of the industrious members of your class. If that great man was right who said ‘Genius is simply the disposition and ability to work hard,’ then Ruby has genius. She evidently is well grounded in that philosophy which runs thus. ‘One stitch and then another and the largest rend is mended, one step and then another and the longest walk is ended.’ Success should be hers. “If about the year nineteen hundred twenty you should go down to old Virginia, just take a ride out into the country south, nine miles from Jamestown, and there you will find as the wife of a wealthy farmer, Solomon Grundy, the good-natured girl whom you now call Lucy Hopkins. “Eula Mathews has her face turned toward the setting sun and will never be satisfied until she has crossed the Rockies and taken up her abode in that state with the Golden Gate. “After you have taught a few years and then taken that trip down to Chicago to study music, you will while walking down the street on a spring day, notice a little way ahead of you a young man of fine address, who will have beneath his arm a book which you will naturally suppose is the Bible- The young man will be Ole Bennett and the book beneath his arm will not be the Bible but a new copy of Virgil. “Oakel will not always have so many smiles for all the nice young men as she has now, but as years go by she will select a successful business man as her life partner and in her home will be a Queen. “Hallie has charms and graces which, if properly guided, should carry her into palaces of learning, in fact I should not be surprised if a few years from now would find her entertaining large audiences from the Chautauqua platform. Sure it is that years after this young lady’s name has become Mrs. Hallie Jones or Mrs. Hallie Smith and her school girl name, Workman, may have been forgotten, the picture of ‘Ole Mistus’ will be vivid in the minds of all who heard the oratorical contests at Au burn, Beatrice and North Platte in 1910. “Then there is ‘Quack’—I mean big Quack. There is a fellow that will win wherever he plays. A sure, strong guard in the basket ball team, a dependable worker at all tasks in school, he cannot fail in the battle of life. “Mildred, after completing her course in the High school, will doubtless continue her studies in some higher institution of learning, and later find a place as teacher of history in some first class high school, where her studious habits and love of learning should make her a shining star. “LaVeta will always stop to reason about matters before taking definite action along any line. Her logical turn of mind and quick perception should so guide her as to leave little doubt as to the accuracy of her conclusions. “Women will never have their rights until Ethel McElhaney has finished her education and started life in earnest- This lovely girl will never be a mannish woman nor a man hater but she will do what needs to be done, stand for that purity in politics which can never be reached until women have the ballot. “Martin Souders will handle the problems of life with the same keen eye and sure nerve which he exhibits when putting the basket ball through the goal, and the same manly bearing which he always manifests. Those who enter any contest along with Martin must be possessed with most excellent qualities if they do not expect to be distanced in the race. “Frankie Puckett will never sit down to weep over any probelm or difficulty, but while others scold and fret she will smile and laugh her way to renown. “Nature has done her part for Gertrude McAdams, who will spend some years as a successful teacher and then become the wife of a noted lawyer. “Ray Farris will never look to the right nor to the left; his communications will always be yea, yea, and nay, nay. Whenever solid worth is wanted Ray will have a call. “Twenty years hence Edward Dort will be at the head of a first class drug store. He will not me-elv shine as a pharmacist but will be recognized as a pillar of strength in his community. “Miss, ‘True worth is in being, not seeming, In doing each day that goes by Some little good, not in dreaming Of great things to do bye and bye. The air for the wing of the sparrow The bush for the robin and wren But always the path that is straight and narrow For the children of men.’ “I think, Miss, that these lines just fit your disposition and I would ask you to repeat them to the members of your class and ask each to ponder them well. And now, Miss, adieu.’’ Then she slowly arose, smiled, turned and glided away into the dark recesses of her cave home, and I though much bewildered, found my way back to my companions, told them of my unique experience and was requested to relate this prophecy. Class Will In the name of God, amen; Seniors of the city of Auburn, in the county of Nemaha, and the state of Nebraska, considering the uncertainty of this mortal life, and having sound mind and memory (maybe), blessed be our Faculty for it, do make and publish this, our first will and testament, in the manner and form following, that is to say: First—We direct that all our expenses and debts be paid out of the Junior class treasury. If that is not sufficient we authorize our executors, hereafter named, to sell such property of the Junior class as may be necessary for that purpose. Second—We give and bequeath to our Junior classmates all the money we have left in our class treasury at the beginning of the next school term in September, 1910. We also give to the Junior class the seats in the assembly room which we now occupy. Since executing former wills, a kind providence has brought about more favorable conditions in the affairs of the estate left us by the Seniors of 1909. For this reason we have greatly enlarged our gifts to the High school. We feel justified in enlarging it as we have done in this will, owing bequests to our schoolmates which have been ever dear to our hearts. Third—All our books, pencils, ninth periods, agriculture and physics notebooks that will help our beloved Junior classmates out next term and the classes to come, we give and bequeath to you. Fourth—Cora Guilliatt wishes to leave her large wholesome heart, to be divided equally between Mr. Edward Boyd, Mr. Paul Holmes and our friend, Mr. Joseph Ratliff. If ever any two of these persons fight over this piece of real estate, the third one will become sole owner. Fifth—We hereby give to our friend, Mr. Robert Gerlaw and wife. Punk, the custody of John Sedgwick Howe till his minority, after which Miss Helen Lorance can have full charge of the same. When the grass grows over Miss Helen, Miss Jennie Bell will receive charge. Sixth —Arminta will leave a nickel (Nichol) to be divided equally among the Freshmen class for the sole purpose to purchase licorice to eat between periods the following term. Seventh—The following senior girls—Mildred Hanna, Oakel Young, Martha Lorance, Ruby Simpson. Lucy Hookins and Ethel McElhaney, give and bequeath their once and beloved sweethearts, Mr. Verne and James Lynch, Mr. Earl Creighton, Mr. Guy Mastin, Mr. Paul Quackenbush and Mr. Raymond Farris, to the fellowless broken hearted Junior lasses — Misses Lucile Langford, Hazel Reed, Leona McAdams, Ruth Hacker, Harriett Peerv and Florence Britain. Eighth—The Senior girls’ Brigade Club give their fudge recipes and good times they have had together to the hard-hearted boys who would never entertain them, after being entertained numerous times by the same. Ninth—(Special) Mr Ole. Bennett, the Senior of high social standing, gives his noble and generous life whenever needed, to the once fair and beautiful maiden, Miss Fayett Clark. Tenth-Any senior property that has not been bequeathed will be divided among the school to be used as school property (except in some cases). Eleventh and last statement of our will—The Senior class of 1910, give to the Senior class of 1911, their best wishes for success in the coming school term and the years to follow. To the faculty—Mr. Bates, Amy Shively, Dorothy Mayland, Julia Knutzen, Roxie McGrew-and our super intendent, Mr. J. A. Doremus, we give our most grateful thanks for what they have done for our class in our last high school year. Witness—Edward Dort. Signed—SENIORS, 1910. Notary—John Stoddard. Juniors 'Junior Jlotrs In September, 1909, at the beginning of this school year, the Junior class had an enrollment of forty-two, two less than last year’s enrollment and seventeen less than that of three years ago. At the present time, however, there are twenty-seven less than entered the High school three years ago, the following having dropped out this year: Rena Bohlken, Glen Harlan, Gladys Harlan, Barton Clevenger, Laura Gertsch, Burch Harmon, Wiley Langford, Paul Milam, Gladys Odel and Ralph Smith. Faye Clark, Gwendolyn Gilman and Ben Moore entered our class this year. Miss Mayland was our class teacher this year and we were indeed fortunate in having one so interested in our class and its affairs. Lucile Langford was elected class president at the first class meeting of the school year; Robert Gerlaw, vice president, and Ralph Smith secretary and treasurer. Esther Ord was elected secretary and treasurer to fill the vacancy made by Ralph Smith’s resignation during the second semester. The Juniors leave a spendid record behind them in athletics this year. They took more firsts in the class field meet than any other class in school. The quality in our class was well shown by our class play, “The Double Shuffle,’’ given in April, and by the fact that the Seniors immediately invited one of our members to take part in the Senior class play. Undoubtedly next year, as Seniors, we will be champions in everything athletic: baseball, basket ball, track and debating teams will all be composed of Seniors. With these teams, taken from our class, the Auburn Hivh school will take a prominent place among the high schools of the state. However, we regret very much to leave our Junior year, for it has been a most pleasant one indeed, filled with its class parties, picnics, etc. And we hope that the class of 1912 will be as successful and will enjoy the hand carved seats on the east side of the Assembly room as much as the class of 1911 has.

Give us time is all we ask; Now and then a hepling hand, And Auburn High will soon be proud Of its present Freshmen band. On September 6, 1909, seventy students, consisting of the members of the Antioch and Athens schools, gathered in old Auburn High to begin their work as Freshmen. At present the class consists of only forty-nine members.

They are a very jolly class In all their lessons they will pass, For they study from morn till night And any one would think it, to hear ’em recite. Now I have told all I know, But just one word before I go, This class will never fail As long as Halley’s comet has a tail. -L. H.

November the twenty-third, Lucy Hopkins entertained the Senior class at her home. The evening was delightfully spent in an exciting indoor field meet. Four schools were represented and each team wore its colors and composed fitting yells. The silver cup was awarded to the “Sweet Briar’’team. At a late hour a four-course luncneon was served, and the guests departed feeling that it had been a most enjoyable affair. SOPHOMORE PARTY. The Sophomore class spent an interesting evening with Grace White on February seventeenth. Many amusing and original games occupied the greater share of the evening. Refreshments of ice cream, cake, lemonade and wafers were enjoyed by those present and they later departed declaring that they had had a good time. JUNIOR PARTY. The first of March the Juniors gave a farewell party to Gladys and Glen Harlan. The party was held in the Friday club hall and was attended by almost the entire class. SENIOR PARTY. The second Senior class party was given by Hallie Workman March twenty-sixth. One of the pleasures of the evening was the surprise given by the appearance of one of our former class mates, Carl Holmes. The house was beautifully decorated with the class colors and spring flowers. After being entertained with numerous games until a late hour, a grand march took place through decorated halls and porches to a moon-lit walk around the block. When the guests returned, a dainty luncheon was spread and the dining room held the chief interest. The evening was one of the most enjoyable that the class had spent together. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANUET. The Junior-Senior banquet, which occurred May thirteenth at the home of C. E. Ord, was the grand climax of the social occasions of the year. The rooms were beautifully decorated in the colors of the two classes and represented the harmony existing between the two classes. The first part of the evening was made enjoyable by a very interesting program. The band played on the porch which was lighted in scarlet and green. After a grand march about the lawn, the guests returned to the house and a five-course banquet was served, after which toasts were given by Prof. Doremus, Martin Souders, Mildred Hanna, Miss Shively, Faye Clark and Miss McGrew. This was an occasion which will long be remembered. SLEIGH RIDES. During the winter each class, some time or other, enjoyed an evening sleigh party; especially the Juniors’ will always be remembered, and mosty by Miss Mayland. PICNICS. The school board granted a “day off’’ to the Seniors in May. They enjoyed it by going on a picnic to Brownville. The day was spent in eating, playing ball and boat riding. The Junior class had a picnic May 20th. They spent the dav in Nemaha City, walking up and down its beautiful thoroughfares, they had most of their pleasure on the way home. Basltft JBall The basket ball team this year was the best in the history of the school. It was coached by Supt. Doremus. We played fourteen games winning ten. The A. H. S. students and Auburn citizens loyally supported the games this year and made basket ball for the first time a success financially. Our line-up: Martin Souders -Left Forward (Mgr.), 78 field goals and 99 free throws. John Stoddard-Right Forward, 57 field goals. Guy Mastin Center, 32 field goals. Paul Quackenbush Left Guard.

WHERE RECORDS ARE MADE TRACK TEAM. tSDrath Cram Jlotcs ti Friday, April 15th, was held the inter class field meet. The day was cold and windy and not a very large crowd attended. The boys made good records in spite of the weather and the small crowd of spectators enjoyed the meet, as could be told by their yelling. It was hard to tell at first which class was coming out victorious, for sometimes the Sophomores were in the lead and then the Juniors or Seniors.

CADETS Cabrt CuIItngs En DORT Under the command of Professor Bates the Cadet company was started out to be right up to date. To start out with some of our citizens contributed liberally for equipment so that without doubt, the company this year had one of the best outfits ever had in this school- The khaki suits were voted in as the uniform, and gave fine service, even in most of the cold weather, and made a better looking company than the old style suits. The company this year consists of twenty-eight members; only a few were recruits, a majority being old members thus the company, starting for the first, came up to the record in drill. There was not even one man as awkward as the awkward squad of last year. The roster this year is: Officers Prof. Bates, Commandant; Stoddard, Captain; Souders, 1st Lieutenant; Gerlaw, 2nd Lieutenant; Dort, 1st Sargeant; Smith, 2nd Sargeant; Huntington, 3rd Sargeant; Smith and Huntington acting as Corporals of 1st and 2nd squads. Privates Boyd, Ed; Boyd, Bob; Christner, D.; Christner, B ; Howe; Hughes; Horn; Holmes; Keedy: Lorance; Milam; Mastin; Perdue; Reagen; Rilley; Robertson; Smith. R.; Smith, E.; Simmons; Wright, Bigler. A trip was taken on March the 14th and besides having a fine time and being a regular imitation of the old time raids on farm houses, was an entire success in making sore feet. The Cadet company always receives a hearty welcome from Sargeant Tucker (retired) when we come around Howe, and we always drink Tuck’s health, in our camp banquets. But talk about your soldier life and all that, well you can’t beat the Camp of 1910, even by last year’s soaking. It was wind, snow, cold and some more wind all the time, and we gathered around the camp fire and cooked beans for all we were worth. Bob Boyd and Ivan Mastin proved to be first class cooks and dishwashers. It was a regular Valley Forge up to date, and old George himself would not have known the difference. 0 yes, we had a good time: we always do. Anyway we created enough excitement. Why the boys even shot up the town and Stiffy Lorance was tried by court martial for trying to start a fire with some blankets which he mistook for his own. But not enough evidence was brought against him and he was acquitted. The people of Nemaha have gotten into the habit now of expecting the annual camping trip to come off because, you know, it increases the trade and causes a little excitement now and then. The old Camp Simpson of last year was our camp this year, and was called Camp Yeomans, after Commander Yeomans of last yeear. But talk about style, why- •‘They say Auburn High School she ain’t got no style, She’s style all the while, the Cadets are the style. They say Auburn High School she ain’t got no style, She’s the style all the while, all the while.” Class :porm ts Aurora swings wide the golden gates Scattering blossoms in the way Tne steeds pull impatiently at their reins. The world is awaiting the grand new day. The chariots stand waiting for us With garlands of roses fair White robes of the morning mist we don Fit for ye gods to wear. Joyously we take our places On the thrones of the chariot’s gold With hearts so light and buoyant step We mount as the gods of old. The mist has cleared away. All is bright and fair For ’tis our Class Day morn For us, so free from care. In the forest the leafy bowers The carpet of velvety grass, The banks all decked with flowers, For us when by them we pass. The streamlet dashes the spray High on the mossy banks For us when we pass that way, Twenty five all in our ranks. The birds sing their sweetest song, The lark his clearest lay, To greet us on our journey long As we start out today. The way shall be strewn with roses And garlands of lilies pure, The fairies dance to greet us. With songs of forgotten lore. The gay feast of bright song now hear ye As sung by the nymphs on high,— “Your work here now is over, ’Tis time to say your good-bye.” So we wave to the class behind us. No sadness our eyes shall dim, For you so soon shall join us And we shall welcome you in. Four years have we toiled together In this dear old Assembly Hall, And now that the day has come, We’re going to leave it all. The field where we played at ball, These rooms, and brown old desks, The books and teachers here, To start on a newer quest. At first the way is brighter, Than ever it seemed before, Until we come to that crossing That parts us forevermore. Then, some shall seek the Highway And some shall seek the Plain, Others the Lower Valley Where falls the Mist and the Rain. And yet a part shall linger Always there in the glade And rest on the knoll near the forest In the quiet and ease and shade. But there shall be one among us Who shall climb to the Mountain Peak, There survey the World, his own, And find that which he does seek. And there shall he plant our banner Lavender and the Gold; There shall he build his fortress And create his great stronghold. And Man shall see the banner, Recognizing from afar The Senior Class of 1910, In our one and noblest star.

Bates (Coach) Stoddard Snow Kelligar Lorance DEBATING TEAM Debating anti Dedamatorp Last fall Mr. Bates organized a debating class in which pupils from the iwo higher grades had a chance to enter. After weeks of hard thinking, much practice, and a series of try outs, the team, John Stoddard, LaVeta Snow and Ruth Kelligar, was chosen with Martha Lorance, Pauline Hurley and Bernice Milam as alternates. Auburn experienced three debates during this year. The first, with Nebraska City, was spirited and interesting on both sides, resulting in a decision of 2 1 in favor of Auburn. The last team debate was held with the Wymore high school; the school which for the last two years has won the district championship. Our team was defeated 2 to 1. The last debate of the year was the district debate held in f alls City, LaVeta Snow ably representing Auburn. Here we met our friends, Carl Ganz, who represented Nebraska City, and Cyril Brown, who represented Wymore and won first place. Although the decisions of the judges were not exactly what every one expected, we have reason to be proud of our representative. This year the debating class has enjoyed a number of social functions. One evening this winter when the thermometer registered zero, the team, chaperoned by Miss McGrew, went to Peru to witness a basket ball game. We had the time of our lives and our experiences there and back will never be forgotten. Moreover, we have found out that two of our members can cook, John and LaVeta. We learned this by informally surprising each of them just as they were ready to serve supper. The evening at John’s was spent in washing dishes, while at LaVeta’s we told stories. About a month ago the team was entertained by Pauline Hurley at the Avenue hotel. A delightful supper w’as served, after which we attended the theatre. We feel that the work of the year as a whole, with the help of Mr. Bates, has been invaluable to us. We hope that next year more than six people will enter this class. For the first time in several years, Auburn this year had a representative in the annual district declamatory contest held in Beatrice. Four contestants, Hallie Workman, Helen Lorance, Mildred Hanna and Martin Souders, trained by Supt. Doremus, took part in a preliminary contest in this city. The judges gave first place to Hallie Workman, who represented Auburn at Beatrice. Against a number of towns, Hallie tied for first place with a representative from Wilbur. Lots were drawn, and Auburn for once was the lucky one, and Hallie went to North Platte to take part in the state contest. This is the first time in the history of the school that Auburn has sent a representative to take part in a contest of this nature. Next year Auburn has the promise of success in these contests in the person of Helen Lorance. The Auburn High School Literary Society exists for the culture of the members of the High school who wish to become used to standing before an audience-without becoming so frightened that they—oh you know how a person feels who is unaccustomed to it. Then too, the society provides entertaiment for its members and visitors on certain Friday evenings. The Literary society for this year was the revival of the society which existed when the Class of ’ll were Freshmen; since the students had so many other pastimes [ast year it made it unnecessary. This year near the first of the term the interested members of the High school met in the Assembly room for the purpose of organizing and electing officers. The constitution and by laws were read and adopted. After considerable discussion and much rag chewing the present officers were elected, with this one exception-the vice presidency - made vacant by the absence of Ralph Smith, was filled by the later election of Helen Allen. The programs were in charge of a committee appointed by the president. For the first semester the committee was Principal Bates, LaVeta Snow, Gladys Harlan, Theo Hopkins and Helen Lorance; for the second semester, Martin Souders (Chairman), Frankie Puckett, Ed Boyd, Ada Bath and Hazel Gerlaw. These committees have done their work faithfully and have arranged many entertaining programs. The society had the constitution printed and a copy given each member. Nearly every member has had an opportunity to appear on some program, though some did not seem inclined to favor the committee- Over one half of the enrollment of the High school—in round numbers, ninety-five belonged. The principal and superintendent were the only members of the faculty who wished to join us. What about the other teachers? The Literary Society arranged a special program, with the help of outside talent, and ten dollars was netted for the benefit of the Athletic association. Shadow pictures were given one evening. Another stunt was given the same evening by the “Southern folks.” Mr. Lanphere of Antioch school acted as interlocutor-while Primrose (Mr. Morse) and Johnson (Mr. Bates) took the end men’s parts- Dramatic si .JUNIOR PLAY. On April 11th the Juniors gave “The Double Shuffle,” a high class comedy in one act. It was rendered with excellence and was a success in many ways. The class cleared $38.50. The play was in charge of Miss Mayland and took place at the high school building. Cast of Characters.

S. A. iSroatuoap Up Si “I say there, officer, one minute.” Patrolman Patrick McCabe, who was standing on a busy Broadway corner, turned sharply. Crowds were passing and it was a few seconds before he could locate the person who had addressed him. Then he noticed that a large touring car was drawn up at the curb, not twenty feet away from him. In it were three men, the chauffeur and a man with a camera who called out. He was young, well dressed and had a business like air. He hopped out of the car and walked briskly over to the policeman. ‘‘I know a good many of the force,” he said, ‘‘but I don’t think we have met before, so let’s get acquainted,” and he handed McCabe a card, which read: Alfred Cregier, President, Cregier, Gates Co. Mfrs. of Moving Picture Films Office, 22 East 22nd St. ‘‘My name is Pat McCabe,” the policeman said. “I’ll tell the Inspector that I met you,” declared the moving picture man and they shook hands. “Generally I don’t get out on these jobs myself,” Cregier said, “but this is a special job and I want to see that it comes out all right. By the way, this is my photographer, Mr. Crimes.” The man acknowledged the introduction by a nod. McCabe expressed his interest, and walked over nearer the car. “So you take pictures that move, do you?” he asked. “We certainly do,” Cregier added. “The moving picture business is getting better and our firm is putting out wonderful things.” McCabe agreed, not because he knew, but to be polite. “Now a year ago,” said Cregier,” pictures of crimes did not look real, but now we are going to get one that will reach the highest point of realism. And you are fortunate to be on hand to see it done. We have arranged a picture which we will call, ‘A Broadway Hold-Up,’ and we are going to make it realistic and will spare no expense to make it so. It will cost us $6,000. The spectators will even think it is the real thing.” McCabe looked astonished. Cregier smiled and pointed at a store a few yards way. “I suppose you are acquainted with Armstrong, the jeweler,” he remarked, “as this is your ‘beat.’ Mr. Armstrong is well known and yet not as famous as Tiffany. We tried for weeks to get Tiffany to pose for us, but he would not at any price. We offered him $10,000, but as he would not accept we had to take Armstrog. We pay him $3,000 for the afternoon, but don’t mention it to any one. Our agreement is to be secret, for he’s afraid it might hurt his business. I’m sure we can rely on you, I seldom make a mistake in judging a man.” McCabe nodded he would do the right thing. He was astonished at the mention of such large sums. “You are going to witness something neat, McCabe,” continued Cregier, and he passed the policeman a cigar. “I will tell you the story of this play which we intend to show all over Canada, Europe and the United States. We will first make a scene showing busy Broadway, with the crowds passing the door of Armstrong’s. This will make the robbery look more daring. Suddenly an automobile drives up and four men jump out, with their faces hidden by masks. They enter the store, bind and gag the owner and his clerks, fill their valises with diamonds and depart. One of the robbers is a detective in disguise. While the attention of the others is distracted, he goes to the telephone and calls up Police Headquarters. Just as the bandits are leaving the patrol wagon comes up. There is a chase, an exchanging of pistol shots and then the capture takes place. They are brought back, and after unbinding the clerks, the robbers are identified and led off to prison.” “Sounds like a crackerjack,” said the excited McCabe. “It will receive applauds from all the world,” answered Cregier. “We were thinking of having the pistol play on Broadway, but then thought it would cause too much excitement, so we are going to carry it to the edge of the city.” “A sensible idea, too,” said McCabe. “Of course, when this thing gets started,” continued Cregier. “the general public will not know what is going on, and a lot of people will try to butt in, and that would spoil the picture. We will rope in an enclosure, and we don’t want anybody to bother us. One idiot would spoil all and cost us about $6,000. Will you help us to keep the people away and he held out a twenty.” “You can rely on me,” said McCabe, as he pocketed the note. “But it’s a shame to take your money, for I know I will never forget this day.” “I can promise you that,” replied Cregier with a smile. “Come Grimes, get busy.” “Grimes climbed out of the auto and after focusing his camera on Armstrong’s store, began turning the crank. “This will be the scene before the robbers arrive,” exclaimed Cregier. “It shows Broadway before the daring feat, busy and peaceful. I see that my men are coming. Get them in the picture Grimes.” Cregier asked the policeman to give him a lift in putting up the ropes. The front of the jewelry shop was roped off and Cregier and McCabe kept the crowd back. People were warned that that particular section of the street was closed to traffic and soon a lot of interested spectators were lined up along the guarded ropes. “Hey there, Kelly,” yelled Cregier, waving at the auto. “Come a running. The quicker you work the better it will be.” In response to the command, the door of the auto opened, and four men darted out. Their faces were covered by black masks. They rushed into the jewelry store, from which cries and screams were soon heard and the people outside laughed. “Pretty tough on the customers,” said Cregier, “for of course they are not in the secret.” But they will enjoy the joke later on, and their frightened faces will be all around the world some day.” One could see what was going on inside the store. The customers, which were women were huddled together in a corner. Armstrong and his clerks were lined up with their hands in the air. In a jiffy all were bound and gagged and left helpless in a row of chairs- “Ain’t that a dandy,” said Cregier, “you would think it was almost real. See that fellow sneaking over to the telephone, he is going to call up headquarters, as I said he would. Of course he does not phone but it will look like he did in the picture.” Three of the “bandits,” working fast, were filling grips with diamonds and jewelry from the cases. All the time the moving picture machine was being turned steadily and deliberately. At this moment a patrol wagon rounded the corner a block up the street, and pulled up and stopped- “That is our wagon,” said Cregier. “It isn’t in the picture yet, but as soon as the bandits come out it will be in.” Through the door of the store came the frightened customers. Close behind were the burglars with their plunder. They jumped into their auto and started up Broadway. And they went some, too. The patrol dashed by at top speed, following the auto. “The pictures don’t look good more than two blocks away,” and Grimes picked up his camera. “Now we must go and get the scenes of the capture. ” Cregier before going, turned to McCabe and grasped his hand. “I don’t know how to express my opinion of your conduct this afternoon,” he said. “But I’m going to ask one more thing of you. I want you to stand here and guard this store so no one will interfere with the victims and give them aid. We want them to stay bound and gagged so the policemen can come back to the rescue after capturing the robbers.” Cregier handed the pleased McCabe another twenty and jumped into his auto and drove away. Pat McCabe kept tne people away from the jewelry store for half an hour, explaining to the people what it was all about and it wasn’t any use to “holler.” Inside the plate glass window, located where they could see them, were Jeweller Armstrong and his clerks, bound hand and foot. Dandy actors, those fellows,” mused McCabe. “To look at them one would believe that they were really miserable.” Pat McCabe is now working on the section. FINIS (After a moving picture film.) M. W. S. “SUGGESTIONS.” Just because you are Senior, And you wear a cap and gown And by means, to us unknown, Found the way to “Owl” town. Cbc $cti of jffilp Ancestors ts Jeraldine Bell, 1913. It was a sultry afternoon in August, and after laying my book aside disgustedly, I began to hunt for some amusement that would divert my thoughts from the irritating weather. At last I thought of the attic, the repose of many old-fashioned things which were my especial delight. Thanks to my remarkable capacity for pleading, I obtained permission from grandma to explore it. The attic had one window and was filled with a confused array of old-fashioned articles, among which were cedar chests, old chairs that still maintained their dignity despite their worn upholstering, dilapidated rock ing-horses, a spinning wheel and an old-fashioned bed. The old fashioned bed was an object of much admiration on my part-Its queer pattern never failed to interest me, and I often wished that I might have it for my own. As it was, I could never expect to possess it, for grandma could not be induced to part with it I became so interested in these things that I forgot everything else, until I was brought to my senses by the sound: “Mabel! Mabel! It’s time for you to come downstairs.” How reluctant I felt about going; but I went, and grandma said: “You had better take your things and iive in the attic.” That gave me an idea. “Grandma,” I said, “may I sleep up there tonight? I just want to see how it is to sleep in the bed of your ancestors.” “No, indeed,” said she, “Why child, the rats would gnaw your toes off.” “Oh, no they won’t, grandma. I can kick my feet all the time and keep them away.” “I imagine you’d get lots of sleep,” she retorted, “but I want you to understand that no amount of teasing will induce me to let you sleep up there tonight.” Then I decided to win her consent by doing all I could to help her, thus forcing her into consenting out of gratitude. I helped to prepare the supper, set the table, and to do many other things. After we had finished eating supper, I approached grandma, and said, in the most pleading tone I possessed, “Now grandma, I’ve been good and helped you; can’t I please do what 1 wanted to do?” “No,” said she with an air of finality, and I knew it was useless to appeal to her any more. But I determined not to be outdone in this matter, so, after the work was finished, I quietly undressed, said my prayers and retired (so grandma thought) for the night. I waited till all the rest of the family were in bed and sound asleep, and then I began the execution of my plan. It was a windy, rainy, never to be-forgotten night, with a plentiful display of lightning. At any other time I would have crawled under a bed, table or sofa, or covered myself with a pillow, dress or anything of similar nature, to prevent seeing the lightning, and also, as I would have thought, to prevent being struck by it. But this time I closed my eyes, which accounts for the abrupt termination of my journey. I had gone through the parlor and dining room and half way up the stairs when, c r-e-a-k—bang! broke upon my ears, and before I realized what was happening, grandma appeared upon the scene with lamp in hand. “Oho!'' with a rising inflection on the last syllable, was all she said, but it was enough. Upon examination it was found that I had broken through the step that we children had nicknamed the “spooky” step and which grandpa had reported as being dangerous. My left ankle and foot were badly “skinned.” My injuries were attended to and I was put to bed, but I had neither the ancestral sleep I had talked of, nor any other kind of sleep that night. Jin tJjc Baps of the Comrts The streets of the city were thronged with people. Newsboys darted hither and thither, cabling out, “Extra! Extra! Great calamity! Halley’s comet swerved fiom course! Has struck Mars and is headed straight for the Earth!” Every one was talking and yelling and screaming and gesticulating over the news. The next day another account was seen in the papers. “Mars has been knocked into countless trillions of atoms. All are revolving around the Earth- The head of the comet will come within 3,000,000 miles of the Earth. The tail will envelop the earth completely and extend several millions of miles beyond.” On the next day still another account was printed. “The tail of the comet has been divided into three parts! The shock of the encounter with Mars was the cause. All of the tails will pass over the Earth. Astronomers say that this is the most astonishing and the m st wonderful phenomenon that has ever happened. The Earth is expected to pass through the tail on May 18th.” Scarcely a person was left in the houses or places of business. Everything was neglected. The observatories were flooded with letters from the terrified people. Thousands were driven insane by thinking of the result of a collision with the head of the comet. May 18th came; a great calm fell upon the earth; the waves and tides of the sea stood still; rivers ceased flowing; not a sound was heard; the sky turned bloody red. green, yellow. As the three parts of the tail swept over the earth great changes were wrought in their paths. In the path of one all who were sick were healed. All the inhabitants of the hospitals, insane asylums and sanitariums were restored to their health. As the second swept over the earth every one who was sad or sinful became glad. In the train of the third all evil was changed to good. People of the most evil characters were reformed. Marvelous sights were witnessed in the heavens. Shooting stars, aurora borealis, bright fireworks of all kinds were seen. Suddenly these ceased and the sky turned an awful black. Then slowly were written in fiery lefters the words, “The Millenium has come!” They remained for six hours and then slowly faded away. The earth awoke. Sounds as of a great rejoicing were heard throughout all the world. Again were the houses and places of business deserted. Everywhere the people were telling the glad news to one another. “The Millenium has come.” Edith E. Dort.

A man who had been so unfortunate as to mischoose his “better half,” and had suffered grievously from his error, was having a serious talk one day with a friend. “God made the earth,” said his friend, “and then he rested. Then he made man, and rested again. And then he made woman, and-----” ‘‘Yes, ’’broke in the unhappy husband, “and since then neither God nor man has had any rest.” M. Simmons-“I didn’t like the Senior play at all.” P- Holmes—“Why not?” M. S.—“None of the characters did anything they ought to have been ashamed of.” Prof. Doremus-“Have you any excuse for going to the bad, as you have?” Joe Ratliff-'‘Yes, I found myself between the devil and the deep sea-and I can’t swim.” Falls City—“They say that A. H. S. is the most insolent school in this section.” “In this section, eh?” echoed the gratified “Auburnian.” “Well. A. H. S. always leads.” “Poor little boy,” said the elderly and benevolent gentleman, “did some one punch your precious little nose?” Ralph Hanks—“Ah, g’wan! You better save your feelin’s fer yer own kid; I darn near kilt ’im!” “You must sometimes find it irksome to be lionized wherever you go, don’t you?” M. W. S.—“Yes, especially where they limit themselves to lionizing me when I’m as hungry as a wolf.” Sigh, and the world sighs with you, Laugh, and you laugh alone, For it’s mostly the rule, that each durned fool Can’t see any joke but his own. ROUGH RIDING. A traveler in dining car on M. P. railroad had ordered fried eggs for breakfast. “Can’t give you fried eggs, boss,” the negro Kaiter informed him, “lessen you wait till we stop.” “Why, how is that?” “Well, de cook he says de road’s so rough dat every time he tries to fry aigs dey scrambles.” TAINTED MONEY. Two negroes met on t'e street one day and while discussing the financial problems, one of them said: “Mose, wat am dis dey call tainted money?” “Tainted money, doan’ you know wat dat is?” ‘‘No; I reckon Ise ig-orant as to de meanin’ of de wod. Wat is it?” Mose hesitated a few seconds, entirely as igonrant as his friend, but game to the finish, he drew himself up with a great deal of gusto and replied: “Tainted money-dat is to say-money dat am tainted is just tainted money.” His friend gave him the laugh, making so much noise that some other colored strollers stopped and joined in roasting Mose. Mose, in the meantime, had not been idle. His face looked as serious as the sphnix. Pretty soon a bright idea came to him, and he spoke up: “Now, look heah, you niggahs- I reckon you doan’ think I know wha’of I speak, so 111’ ’tempt to clarify. Now, you all know John D. Rockefeller. His money am tainted. How do you know how many times his money am tainted? Ah reckons dat would cotch you. Cause you didn’t know. Well you see dat’s de secret. Dat’s de magic charm. John D’s money am tainted twice. Taint fo’ you and taint fo’ me. Dat’s de explanashun.” The day was saved. ENCOURAGEMENT FROM ABOVE. Once the late Sir Henry Irving, while playing “Macbeth” in London, was somewhat disconcerted by one of the “gallery gods.” He reached the point where Macbeth orders Banquo’s ghost to leave the banquet board. “Hence, horrible shadow, unreal mockery, hence!” exclaimed Sir Henry in his most tragic tones, and with a convulsive shudder sank to the ground, drawing his robe about his face. Just as Banquo withdrew, an agitated cockney voice from high up in the gallery piped out, as if to reassure Irving: “It’s all right now, ’Enery; ’e’s gone!” IT WAS NEITHER OF US. “Say, Mike, did I tell yez what happened to me the other day?” “No; phat was it?” “I was walkin down the village all by mesilf, when I saw a man coming up on the other side of the street. I thought I knew him. He looked over and he though he knew me. So we crossed over and met oursilves in the middle of the road, and phat do you think? Be heaven, it was neither of us.” Miss S.—“What is the most dangerous time of the year to visit the country?” R. Quack.—“When the bull-rushes out, and the cow-slips about, and the little sprigs are shooting all around.” Stiffy Lorance asked Mr. Bates at camp if he could have his execution delayed as he was in poor health. DID THE DOG KNOW? One day recently a Chinaman was walking slowly up Boylston street, Boston. It was a beautiful spring day and as he walked leisurely along, he seemed to be enjoying everything thoroughly. Suddenly a door of one of the houses opened and a savage bulldog dashed out, barking and snarling, and jumped at his pigtail. The Chinaman jumped to one side, very much frightened. A benevolent old gentleman who was passing, seeing the look of dismay and fright on his face, walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said assuringly: “There, there, friend, don’t be frightened. You know the proverb, ‘A barking dog never bites.’ ” “Ah, yes,’’ answered the Chinaman, “that all velly well. I knowee ploverb, and you knowee ploverb, but does the dog knowee ploverb?” “Why is a shoe-black like an editor? “Because he polishes the understanding of his patrons.” NO BUSINESS OF HIS-A Swede entered a postoffice in the Northwest, and inquired: “Bane any letters for me today?” “What name, please?” “Ay tank de name is on de letter.” (Definition by P. Holmes) - Woman’s lub, like India rubber, It stretch de more de more you lub her. Guy—“What did Prof. Bates do when you bet him he marked your paper too low?” Quack—“He called the roll.” Ray Farris has a pig pen made of such crooked rails that every time a pig crawls through the fence he comes out on the same side. Jennie Bell—“Wy don’t yer wash yer face, yer lobster?” Crooks “W’ot! an destroy de last lingerin’ sweetness uv de exquisite aroma uv dat superlative kiss yer give me dis forenoon?” Jennie—“Say, Crooks, you’re a jollier alright, but no woman kin help lovin’ youse.” Doremus—“They say that two hens roosting in a chicken house will raise the temperature enough to keep it from freezing.” Greenly—“You don’t say! If that’s the case I’ll get a couple and keep them in the West room next winter.” Lee Yochum (to cabman) -“How much do you charge a mile?” Cabby—“In your case, I’ll have to charge by the pound.” Frankie P.—“How is it you are not interested in the woman’s suffrage movement?” Martha L. (haughtily)—“Do you imagine that I would care to have a vote if every other woman did?” A BOY’S ESSAY ON GIRLS. Girls isn’t good for much except for storekeepers to sell fine raiment to, an’ to bring trubble on their bruthers an’ other men. They have to be give up to all their lives, or else, if they’re little, they cry, an’ if they’re grown up they git mad at nothin’ an’ say they won’t marry you never, never! Sister Sue done Bob Gerlaw that way, an’ he’s the best feller I know-brings gum an’ gives me a dime most every time he comes if I’ll go across the street an’ play with Joe Ratliff two hours. Girls is crule an’ hartless; they wear lots of false things to make men think they are prettier than they really are, an’ then they trample on ’em. When they see a nice, onnerable man like Bob Gerlaw sailin’ acros the see to fite for his country with a broken heart, they’ll be sorry, an’ so will I, an’ it’ll serve ’em rite. Girls is no good till they git tc be your mother an’ then you bet they are all rite. Laugh and the world laughs with U, Weep and you weep alone. Just because you are a Junior, With those pleasant knowing looks; Which we know without a doubt, Were not gained from High school books. Just because you are a Sophomore, And you lord it over all; And you send your voice and footsteps Echoing throughout the hall. Ruth “So you are going to housekeeping as soon as you’re married? I thought you had made up your mind to board.’’ Faye C. — “Yes, but Ole is equally determined to have a house of our own.” Ruth- “And so you are going to keep house in order to please Ole?” Faye—“No, I’m going to keep house so Ole will be glad to board.” A few jokes now and then, Are relished by the best of men.
