And ever may it stream, Still displaying the bright emblems Of the scarlet and the green. Through the four long years of High School, Mid the scenes we love so well, As the mystic charms to knowledge We vainly seek to spell; Or we win athletic victories Over rivals stand supreme, Still we’ll shout for Auburn High School, And the scarlet and the green. When the cares of life o’ertake us, Mingling fast our locks with gray, Should our dearest hopes betray us, False fortunes fall away; Still we banish care and sadness As in memory are seen, Those days of joy and gladness, ’Neath the scarlet and the green.

The boys especially remember this date as that bird’s eye view of Auburn, which apneared to us as the larger members of the school tossed us up among the clouds will never be forgotten. Within a short time with the heln of Mr. Hanna we had composed a few yells and organized our class, electing Anna Adamson president, and after considerable discussion as to who should be the trusty person to handle the financial part of the class. Paul Keedy was elected to fill the place. The colors decided upon for the four years were scarlet and cream. Although we were Freshmen at this time, we did our part to help win Athletic victories as we had a representative in the first base ball team and girls’ basket ball team. Along with our school work we also indulged in a few social activities. We enjoyed a class party and a sleigh ride in our first year. In the next September we again assembled at the High School, however this time being under the charge of Miss Knutzen. The first day revealed the fact to us that several of our members had failed to return again to their school work. By the close of the first week we had elected our officers for the year. Lee Smith was chosen president. Monroe Simmons joined us in this year and he was elected vice president. Mamie Clev enger filled the place of secretary. Along social lines we enjoyed a party, which was given to the class by Drue Christner and everyone reported an excellent time. Towardc the close of the year the Faculty was kind enough to grant us a holiday. We left Auburn about 8:30 and 12:00 found us among the picturesque hills of Brownville. After our long hay rack ride, we made our way to a shady spot where we did justice to the picnic dinner which was served. Although we did not return until late in the evening we were all much refreshed over our vacation and were ready to return to our work the following day. The autumn of 1909 found us toiling along the path of Juniors, with the same officers as the preceding year, with the exception of our treasurer who to our great regret had left us Hazel Harvey was elected to fill the place. Although we lost several of our members, we were again delighted by the entry of two more very faithful students, Daisy Clark and Wiley Langford, this making our enrollment twenty thiee at the close of the Junior year. With the help of our instructor, Miss Nims, we were able to enjoy several social functions. First on the list of these occurred in the month of November. The evening was very happily spent in eating apples, pop corn, candy and drinking country cider. The next social event took place on April 18th, which was known as the Junior Program and Candy Feed. A fine program was presented and good home made candy was sold from two booths nicely decorated in scarlet and cream. This was also a great success from a financial standpoint, as it added untold wealth to the Junior class. As the year neared its close a banquet was given in honor of the Seniors at the home of John Howe on May 23. A five-course dinner was served, after which several toasts were given by members of the Faculty, Mr. H. R. Howe and by several members of the two classes. Everyone reported an excellent time, and we wish to express our thanks to Mr. Howe for his accommodation to the class. Last in line comes our holiday, which was spent on the banks of the Nemaha river near Nemaha City. We had a very pleasant day rowing about the river and were all able to be at school the next day ready to do double work. This was a very profitable year for our class along athletic lines as well as school work, as our boys helped win the Southeastern Nebraska Meet. We also made the Seniors work for their points in the inter-class meet. In the next September we registered in the dignified place of Seniors. In reorganizing we found that we had lost two of our most active members, Lutie Crichton and John Howe. As officers we elected Hazel Sutton president, Marie Mayer vice-president, and Hazel Harvey treasurer. In our last year we have spent many pleasant evenings in social gatherings. Two class parties, one of which was given us by Miss Alden. Another very jolly evening last winter was spent in a class sleigh ride. Not long after this event we joined the Juniors in a party. These events were all carried off very nicely and everyone seemed to have an excellent time. Last, but not least in the list, came the banquet given to us by the class of 1913. A very fine four-course dinner was served. After this we were favored by treats from members of the Faculty and also of both classes. This was one of the most elaborate receptions that has ever been held in the history of the Auburn high school. From the history of the class of 1912 we feel fully confident that they are able to go out into the world and face the difficulties which will be before each and every one of them as they take up their work in the future. Cfre Glass of Qtneleen e j cq £ UR names are now appearing in an Auburn High School paper for the very last time as members of the school and so we are just beginning to realize what the school has done for us. It is with a feeling of deep gratitude that we thank the teachers who have so willingly and capably directed us to the top of the A H. S. Ladder. There have been steps too high for some of us to climb without the steady and helpful hands of these teachers and so they stand out in our minds as persons responsible for our achievements. But one especially of the band of teachers do we wish to thank—Miss Zoe Nims, our class adviser. Miss Nims has held this position during her two years’ sojourn in Auburn, the first year by her selection and the second by vote of the class. Miss Nims has displayed helpful and enthusiastic interest and untiring response in our class affairs. She helped us plan the banquet to the Seniors when we were “inexperienced Juniors and coached the Junior class play “At Retreat,’’ and has also put forth a helping hand in the Senior play. But these are only some of the many similar acts upon her part- So, in a few words, Miss Nims has been the center of our class circle in her advisership. This Senior class has had its accomplishments as well as the classes which have gone before them. We have had many able athletes as well as debaters and have entered into all of the school activities with great zeal. In scholarhsip we have stood high in the estimation of the Faculty, with earnest and bright minds. We have also had our share of the joys and pleasure of High School life, even if we did not have our “sneak day” or could not talk in the halls. But on the achievements let us not linger too long, for our deeds will speak for themselves. We, of the class of 1912 are proud to be the last class to graduate from this dear old high school building. We feel that we are worthy of the distinction and our greatest desire is that we may all enter into the duties of life which may confront us with the same faithfulness with which this old building has served its time and be an honor to our Alma Mater.

Subscription and Circulation HERALD PRINTING HOUSE, AUBURN, NEBRASKA OW after the faithful service of twenty-six years our old school house gives away to a newer and better structure, and while we rejoice over the prospects of a new school building, still we hate to leave this old one which has served us and our predecessors well. In its halls we have had our social functions, our rallies and have cheered our teams to victory. We can only hope that the new building will serve the classes to come as well as the old building has served us in the past, and that the same class spirit and harmony will prevail in it. The old building was erected in 1886 at the cost of ten thousand dollars. Later the building became too small, so the west wing was built onto it in 1907. No changes have been made in the building since then. The erection of a new High School in the near future was very necessary. The heating of the old building is not sufficient, the lighting is poor and the whole building is unsafe. On May 3rd the old building passes into the hands of the contractor, and soon the new building will be started. It will be one of the best and and most modern buildings in the state. The cost is to be forty thousand dollars- But the erection means more than simply the new building. It means the offering of more courses to the pupils as well as better ones. It marks the point when Auburn High School passes from a weak to a strong institution of learning, and although we are glad to see this change, we regret to let the old High School go from us. SENIORS are now confronted with a very serious problem; one of difficult solution. This problem is to decide, exactly what they are going to do after completing this year; whether they will continue their studies or not, and if so, what is the best course to follow. Surely all are planning to go on to some school, if they possibly can. In this age of competition the actual need of a higher education is becoming generally recognized. There are some who hesitate to go to college, because they do not see a way to complete a four years college course: but this should not stop them. Go as long as you possibly can and you will never regret it. Many of the Seniors have put off their decisions too long, and at the last moment find that they lack a subject or two, which is needed to enter a preferable college. The Juniors should decide NOW what course they expect to follow, so that they may take the studies necessary for entrance requirements, and save themselves much worry in their Senior year, when they can least afford it, and when, as in most cases, they are in no better position to decide.

It was published monthly, and although only four issues appeared, the material in them was excellent. To Daisy Clark, Editor-in-Chief. much credit must be given. She managed the paper and also contributed much original work. Mildred Peery acted as Senior class editor and editor of the ‘‘Locals.” The “Locals” was the most interesting part of the paper. Theo Hopkins had charge of the exchange depart Her jokes were fine. Irene Marts edited the literary side of the paper. She contributed several good stories. Those of the Christmas issue were exceptionally good. Helen Lorance recorded the social functions of the school in an interesting way. Ralph C. Smith was editor of the athletic department. The other editors were Edith Dort, T3; Mary Boyd, ’14 and Lewis Tyler, ’15. The business end of the paper was run by Ray Robertson, Verne H. Wright and Van Barnes- Verne H. Wright acted as Business Manager; Ray Robertson Assistant Business Manager and Van Barnes as Circulating Manager. We hope that next year’s Scarlet and Green will be as good as the one published this year.

Early in the y 'ar a good earnest group began working on the subject of the State debate, ‘Resolved, that the movement of organized labor for (he support of the closed shop should not receive the support of public opinion.” Early in January a group of ten participated in the preliminary. Of these Wiley Langford, Hazel Sutton, Helen Lorance and Ralph Smith were selected to represent our High School. They nave worked hard and faithfully. They gave the best they had to their school. On March 1 we met and defeated Nebraska City on the negative by a broken decision. We then matched ourselves with Falls City and in this debate we lost in a broken decision. Two of our debaters were entirely new in the work. Both, however, took great interest in it and accomplished a great deal. All have been exceedingly agreeable to work with, and the memories of this labor and of the two contests will always remain fresh in our minds. DEBATING SQUAD Prin. A. M. Hare, Coach Ralph Smith Hazel Sutton Helen Lorance Wiley Langford HIS year the Auburn High School has had one of the best teams of its history.

S. had the best material for baseball this year it has had for some time. Although our record is not as high as some of the other teams the reason is not that we have no players. The main trouble this year was due to absence of team work. With the little practice we had we could not work up much team work and this alone caused our defeats by Falls City. Nevertheless, we had a good team. Langford (captain and catcher) was the most steady man on the team. Besides doing grand work behind t..e bat, he held the team together. E. Smith held the position of pitcher. His speed and fast curves fooled his opponents and errors were causes when defeat came. Keedy played a fast game at short,ras did Lee Smith at first. Second base was held down by Ivan Mastin. He starred in sensational plays. Ralph Smith was one of the fastest all around players we had, fast on the diamond and good at'bat. He played third base. Our fielders were Davis, Souders and Wright. They all played a fast game and never let a ball go past them. Score Fireman 1 • • Fireman 7 • • Fireman 7... Falls City 4 --Falls City 4... ■ A. H.

Christner Lorance Wright Langford Allen BASE BALL TEAM SOPHOMORE QUARTETTE Adah McKenney Alberta Mutz Myrtle Harris Ruth Redfern The Sophomore Quartette THE High School feels proud of its Sophomore Quartette. It is composed of Ruth Redfern. Myrtle Harris, Alberta Mutz and Ada McKenney. No little part of its success is due to the excellent work of Miss Jones, who directed them throughout the year. The girls have helped much in our programs, in convocation and on occasions outside of school. Music WE are glad to say that Music has been introduced into the High School. Never before, in the history of the school has music been taught so thoroughly, and such interest taken in it. Under the instructions of Miss Jones we have all become real musicians, and considering the short time we have had music the progress has been rapid. Next year, under proper conditions, music should make great headway in the Auburn schools. SEVERAL times during the last few years certain pupils have attempted to organize an orchestra, but were unsuccessful. NOW we really have an orchestra. This spring, after some effort, an orchestra was formed giving some good music at convocation, and also during graduating week. The following are the persons who constitute the orchestra: PIANO .................................Marguerite Fulton Orchestra VIOLIN VIOLIN Gridin Kelligar Drue Christner Harry Souders • Verne Wright TROMBONE CORNET DRUMS R. C. Smith Cured by Laugh HEPHERD Sheldon was an only son, hence the pride of his fond parents. They were anxious he should not only stand at the head of his classes, but desired that he be given prominence on the Friday afternoon program. It was not difficult for Shepherd to commit the lines to memory, but let him face the school and the half dozen Friday afternoon visitors, and his wits seemed suddenly to forsake him. His face first became red, then white; his voice trembled and he stammered became dumb; his knees grew weak and back to his seat he would go in greatest humiliation, followed by the sarcastic smiles as he thought of the whole school. The teacher tried to reassure him by telling how some of the greatest orators of history at first had been self conscious, but this did not help Shepherd. About the middle of the fall term, a “debating society” was organized. Shepherd’s name was enrolled as a member. He thought he could attend and enjoy the discussion without taking part, but at the second meeting he was selected as one of the three to debate the negative of the question, “Resolved, that the American Indian has more cause to complain of the treatment cf the whites than has the negr ” Shepherd wrote out his address. After it was finished he went to the big pasture just outside the village, and having it committed to memory, delivered it to one red cow and a meadow lark. “Hello, Sheepy,” for that was what the boys called him, “Turned out to grass at last, eh?” And Ned Thorne’s face came to view from behind a large tree “No. I’m gettin’ ready to make an exhibition of myself at the debate tonight,” confessed Shepherd. “Good,” bantered Ned, I’ll pass the word and have the girls come up.” “If you do I’ll murder you,” retorted Shepherd, the cold sweat at once starting at the mere thought of a girl for an auditor. “Oh, Sheepy, you are the limit,” commenced Ned, good naturedly, as the two started for the school yard-” “Just why you can’t speak a piece when you can stand and recite, beats me.” “I’ll get through tonight or never try again,” declared Shepherd- That night, however, his courage quickly failed him when he saw every seat in the school auditorium filled, and extra chairs placed in the aisles- To add to his discomfiture, Susie Evers was chosen as one of the three judges. Now, Susie was—but Shepherd was only like other 16 year old boys, and what he thought about a pretty young miss aged fifteen should not be taken too seriously. When introduced each speaker passed from his seat to a vacant space in front of the platform and to one side of the table at which sat the three judges. Shepherd was the second one on the negative side to debate. By the time he had crossed the ten feet of space from his desk to the speaker’s position he had commenced to sweat, while his face, went red and white by turn, as his heart thumped so loudly against the stiff front of his new white shirt that he knew all those in the front row must surely hear it. He raised his eyes and tried to address the chairman. “Mr. Chairman, and—and fellow creatures”—he stammered. “The question before - Mr. Chairman, the question before”— “Go it, Sheepy,” encouraged Ned Thorne, in a hoarse whisper, “three times and out.” The question before us this evening—this evening—this —.” Just at this point Shepherd raised his eyes to the judges’ table. At this precise moment Susie Evers smiled at Ned Thorne and nodded toward Shepherd. Now, to be laughed at in public by the girl to whom you had given big red apples! To be nodded at in derision to your rival by the girl whose skates you had strapped on, was too much. All thoughts of embarrassment gave away to anger Sheperd’s mind cleared as if by magic. He would show Susie Evers and Ned Thorne that he was not to be treated like a dog. He lifted his head, threw back his shoulders and began to talk. His carefully prepared address fell from his impassioned lips as with witty allusion or keen satire he tore down the structure erected by the affirmative. When his committed address was finished he had much more to say. His ten minutes were consumed, but he had not finished. He continued for fully twenty minutes, the judges failing to call “time.” Then when he had ended and turned toward his seat, he was greeted with round after round of applause. The leader of the affirmative at once arose and moved that it be the sense of the affirmative and all those assembled that Shepherd Sheldon, by his masterful address, had won the decision, for the negative and request ed the judges to so render their verdict. This they did. And the first one to congratulate Shepherd was Susie. “But you laughed at me, on the start,” sputtered Shepherd. “No such thing,” replied the happy girl. “I had bet a box of chocolates with Ned Thorne that you would be there to make an attempt anyway, which was more than he ever did, and when you started I smiled at Ned because he’d lost.” “Oh, what fools we mortals be,” commented Shepherd, as he helped Susie eat the box of chocolates. And never again was he embarrassed when called upon to address any kind of an audience. Hazel D. Harvey, ’12.

This year the enrollment of the Junior class was thirty, which was nineteen less than in our Freshman year, and two less than last year’s enrollment. Hazel Walsh and Robert Cooper of last year’s class are not with us this year. Bessie Lawrence has been absent a large part of the year on account of sickness. The Juniors have a high athletic standard, B. Christner and Whitmore being on the basket ball team, Ray Robertson, James Allen and Iven Mastin being on the baseball team, and B. Christner, Mastin, and Whitmore being on track team. The Social side of the class has not been neglected.

The play was rendered in a most delightful manner and afforded great pleasure to all present. Great credit is due to Principal R. C. Johnson of Athens, who drilled the players. Those taking part were Helena Lorance, Hazel Gerlaw, Irene Marts, Ray Robinson, Iven Mastin, James Allen and Blaine Christner. A number of musical numbers were introduced. Mr. Harry Yost assisted with a vocal solo. Last but not least, was the banquet, which the Juniors tendered in honor of the Seniors, ’12, at the Drexel hotel on April 26th. Great preparations and arrangements were made for this occasion. It excelled all banquets given by former classes of the A. H. S. Toastmaster James E.

Nothing seemed quite right ,not even Cricket her favorite riding horse or Jip, the faithful brown Collie could cheer her up. She had often had these day dreams, wishing and dreaming of the outside world and its attractions. What a picture she made as she sat with her fair face held between her hands, the wind playing coquettishly with her golden brown hair and her brown eyes watching the movement of the fruit packers. Here on this large fruit farm at Grand Junction. Colorado, sne had spent the nineteen years of her life. She idly picked up a wrapper and began wrapping a large, red faced peach. Then an idea came to her. Why not write her name upon this wrapper and find out who would enjoy the delicacy. Taking a pencil from her blouse, she wrote: Dorothy Winsor, Grand Junction, Colorado. Then hearing the whinny of Cricket, who was grazing near by she arose and after feeding her some lumps of sugar, set off for a canter in much better spirits. That peach, along with many others, arrived in Omaha, Nebraska, the next day and was placed on a counter where its fate was to be decided. “Oho! and what do you know about this?” said Bob Mayfield, turning the wrapper off of a peach over and over and examining it closely. “Look here, Sis. What a romance could be made out of this! By Jove! I’m going to write that girl a letter.” Jumping up he went to get the paper and pen, with Marjorie close on at his heels. “Oh Bob, won’t it be fun. I wonder what she looks like.” “I suppose she is a common laborer, my dear,” said Mrs. Mayfield, as she glanced over the evening paper. “I’m going to find a picture of a handsome young man to send to her. Ah! won’t this be a joke”—and with this Bob rushed out of the house and down town. Going into the photographer’s he found the picture of a young man with brown hair and eyes. “This is just the thing. Now wouldn’t she be surprised to think a young man with blue eyes and light hair would take a picture like that.” As Bob entered his mansion home 20th B., he was whistling a lively air and why shouldn’t he for he had just sent his picture and a letter to a girl in Grand Junction, Colorado. Dorothy usually preferred riding Cricket, but today she started after the mail to the station in the Model 16. “Now, who can this be from?” said she, mysteriously opening a letter with an Omaha postmark. Hurrying home, she entered the cozy sitting room of her beautiful country home and ran to her mother to read the letter and together they studied the face of the strange young man of Omaha, Neb. The next summer Bob and his folks decided to spend the summer in Denver. Bob had never felt satisfied about the girl and the strange peach wrapper and although her letters had always seemed very well worded, he could not feel just certain that she was his style of a girl. Now, one morning-one of those mornings when everything seems thankful it has life Bob boarded a train from Denver to Grand Junction. What thoughts and pictures filled his mind as he was flying across the country. What kind of a girl am I going to meet, he wondered. It took him but a few moments to walk up to the hotel and register. Then turning to the clerk he began inquiring about Mr. Winsor. “Is there a Mr. Winsor lives near here?” Bob asked. “Yes.” said the clerk. “Old Jim Winsor is the richest fruit grower around here. He lives just out to the edge of town and say, he certainly has a peach of a girl. She is a beauty.” “Oh,” (and Bob looked at his dusty shoes and then at his reflection in the mirror hanging on the opposite wall). “He has has he? I’m an old friend of his, guess I’ll call him up.” Stepping to the phone, he made known the number and waited anxiously the reply at the other end. “Hello,” came a fairy voice from the other end. “Hello,” answered Bob, “Who is this talking?” “This is Dorothy Winsor. Who’s this.”? “This is Mr. Smith. I am a very dear friend of Mr. Mayfield’s of Omaha, and I have some very bad news for you.” “Oh”-came the answer faintly. “You see, we were spending a few months in the mountains and the other day he and I were going up the mountains and his burro fell and killed him. “I really can’t believe you, Mr. Smith. You talk so strange.” “Well-I own up—I was only joking. I’m Bob Mayfield myself. Just had a few spare moments and so I ran down from Denver this afternoon.” “I’ll come right in Mr. Mayfield.” “Alright I’ll be at the hotel. Goodby.” “Goodby.” “Now what do you know about that? If this isn’t a picnic. I wonder what sort of a girl she is anyway,” and Bob dropped into a chair to compose his thoughts while he waited. Dorothy, in the meantime, hurried out to the barn to whisper her secret to Cricket, and then hopping into the car, she was soon out upon the highway, leaving a terrible cloud of dust behind her. Her brain was working faster than the wheels of the car—and her heart thumped hard against her side. Driving up to the curbing, she quickly shut off the car and entered the hotel. -JSl “Is Mr. Mayfield here?” she asked, walking up to the clerk. “Yes, over there in the corner Miss Winsor,” said the clerk, pointing over into the corner. Bob had arisen now and was half way over to meet her, his mouth open in astonishment. He could hardly find his speech-Jove, wasn’t she a beauty? “Miss Winsor!?” Bob finally managed to say. “Yes” -but you don’t mean to say you are Mr. Mayfield? You don't look at all like your picture.” “Aha!” laughed Bob. “You see I wanted you to think I was really good looking, so I sent you a counterfeit.” “Well, he is really better looking than his picture,” thought Dorothy. Time flew quickly and Bob suddenly realized it. was train time.“I guess I had better go or I’m going to miss my train” and he looked wistfully at Dorothy. “Oh, I wish you would stay and meet my father and mother. You know it seems as if I’d known you always.” “I will stay”—and Bob rushed off to send a telegram to Marjorie to explain his absence. How delightful that ride home was in the shade of the evening. The first thing that greeted Bob was his picture on the piano in the parlor. “Well,” Mr. Mayfield, “You don’t look like your picture,” said Mr. Winsor, as he winced in pain, when Jip ran against his foot—his favorite foot-the one with the gout. Mrs. Winsor proved her ability as cook on the evening meal and Bob certainly enjoyed it after living for a month on lunches in the mountains. Dorothy planned a morning ride before breakfast for the next day and a fishing trip in the afternoon. The next morning the sun rose in all its glory and the dew drops on the flowers glistened like diamonds. Dorothy even made the surroundings look brighter. She had on a dainty white frock and had left her hair down in a curl. In her hair she had pinned a rose—a pink one—just the color of the roses in her cheeks. Dan - the horse saddled for Bob-sniffed the air a little as the two approached and shyed to one side as Bob tried to mount. But the gentle tone of Bob’s voice soon assured Dan that he was in good hands. As for Cricket, she was ready for her morning gallop and reached eagerly for her morning dainty—a lump of sugar. The birds were just awakening and what music filled the air. “What a glorious morning and such a picture as you make.” “Thanks” said Dorothy, blushing slightly. After breakfast, Dorothy and Bob got the fishing lines ready and although the weather by this time did not appear promising, they set off for the river. It seemed as though the fish were off on a vacation this afternoon and the luck of Bob proved as disastrous as the luck of Dorothy. “Oh, dear, it’s no use trying now,” said Dorothy. “The horrid fish won’t bite and besides it looks like rain, so I think we had better start home.” “Alright,” answered Bob, beginning to wind up the fishing lines. Just then the rain began to fall and they hurried for a large oak tree. “I guess we will have to stay here till it stops raining,” said Bob. “I’m so glad I brought some peaches with me,” and Dorothy began hunting for them in the lunch basket. “There’s a peach exactly like the one you sent me. Say, that was a lucky peach for me.” “I believe it’s stopped raining,” answered Dorothy, blushing as she picked up the lunch basket and started for the house. The little shower had freshened everything up and now the sun was peeking from behind a cloud. ‘‘I must go to Denver tomorrow morning or sis will be down here for me- How I wish you knew her. I’m coming again when peaches are ripe and perhaps I’ll bring her with me. She does like peaches and will enjoy it so much.” “Do bring her and tell her she can have all the peaches she wants.” “Can I have the peach I want?” coaxingly asked Bob. “Well-I’m not sure about that-but perhapsanswered Dorothy slyly. Irene Marts, '13- LABORATORY PIE Sophomore class opened the year of 1911 and 1912 with the membership of forty-five, but for various reasons the following have had to quit school: Hazel Allgood, Margaret Fulton, Nellie Grider, Mary Halladay, Lois McFarlane, Frederick Hector and Lon Paris. The class organized the second week of school, electing the following officers: Nellie Briggs, president; Lynn Carman, vice president; Mary Jane Boyd, secretary and treasurer. Our class is not made up of girls as one would think on looking at the picture, for we have sixteen boys in class, but because of their extreme modesty (?) or out of consideration or Mr. Freeman’s camera, they failed to materialize when the picture was taken. We have established our reputation as good students when Freshmen, and not wishing to lose it we haven’t wasted much of our time in holding class parties, only three having been given, during the year. In the fall, the girls of the class formed a walking club. Several good walks were enjoyed before cold weather set in, when they decided to change this to Indian club drills. We are very proud to say that we have one classmate, Elzie Smith, who has made first team in basketball and has been doing stellar work. We also have a Sophomore basketball team, the only class team in high school. Not only are we represented in Athletics, but also music, being too the only class in school having a musical organization of any kind. Ada McKenney, Myrtle Harris, Alberta Mutz, and Ruth Redfern constitute the Sophomore quartette, which has favored us at various times in convocation and has sung at different social functions outside of school. Since we have set up the standard, which will be hard to reach, Freshmen it means work for you the coming year, so get busy. The prospects for a winning track team are very bright this year Although we lost two good men last year in Quackenbush and Gerlaw, other men are filling their places very well. Ralph Smith is back into track work this spring. He is broad jumping 22 ft- 1 inch, vaulting 10£ ft., and running the 100 yards and 220 yards in fast time. Connor is doing good on the mile, having run that event in five minutes. We hope that he will be as strong a man as R. Gerlaw was last year. Blaine and Drue Christner are also making fast time on the mile and the half. Lee Smith is running the 100 yards and 220 yards, faster than in preceding years and we expect to see him get first place in both events in the south-eastern field meet. He is broad jumping 19 ft. 6 inches. E. Smith is vaulting 9 ft. 6 inches and broad jumping 19£ ft. He is running 440 in 60 seconds and running a fast 220 yards on relay team. Mastin and B. Christner are running the 440 yards in 58 seconds. We expect two places in the meet from these fellows. Whitmore is heaving the shot much further than last year and is running the 220 yards and 440 yards in good time. Wright and B. Christner are doing the high jumping this year. Both of these men are clearing 5 ft. 8 in. in practice. We are expecting great things from them. Keedy is doing some fine vaultings this year as well as good broad jumping. He is making good time on 100 yards and 220 yards. Simmons is running the half and the mile with another year s training he will be a very fast distance man. Clas0 of 1915 President Lewis Tyler Vice President Mildred Wright Secretary and Treasurer Virginia Ailor Adviser Miss Roxie McGrew We, the Freshman class of 1911-12, had at the beginning of the school year a total enrollment of 55. We were especially favored by a comparatively large per cent of attendance from the rural districts. Our attendance has now diminished for various reasons to a minimum of forty-one. As a class we have been represencted in nearly every branch of activity. In debating, literary work, music and athletics we have taken a part. A higher per cent of the class is taking music than that of any other grade. The social side has not been neglected either. We have had a party and various other stunts have been pulled off. But, as has sometimes been said to be the ideal way, we have given more attention to strict study and as a result we have acccomplished a great deal. We love the A. H. S. and have the real high school spirit. We are proud of the fact that the class of ’15 is the last Freshman class to enter their high school career in the old building. So here’s to the future, and we hope sincerely that it will huld for us many such prosperous years as the past one has been. glottal Qotes Chancellor Avery, of the University of Nebraska, will give the commencement address this year. Dr. Avery is a man of great speaking ability and we are glad to have him with us this year. He is well known by several people of this vicinity and we expect a large delegation out to hear him. The sermon before the class will be delivered by Rev. Alber of the Christian church. Our relations with Rev. Alber have been very pleas ant this year. He has given us many interesting talks during the convocation hours and has been with us many times. A basketball reception was given on Monday evening, March 11th by the eleventh and twelfth grades, in honor of the boys’ many victories. “Our Fast Five” of the A. H. S. have played altogether eighteen games during the basketball season and succeeded in winning twelve out of that number. We gathered together in the laboratory of the high school, which was prettily decorated in scarlet and green. Popular songs were sung and Progressive Some’R’Set prevailed as the game, Miss Hudson and Elzie Smith being the lucky ones at the head table. When tired of playing, we went to the Palace, where a luncheon was served- In spite of the night, we all left, having a dandy good time. EDumnt Qotcs Walter York played basketball with the Kansas City Veterinary College this year. He acted as captain part of the time. Martin Souders was captain of Kansas Aggies basketball team. He was the star player of the season. “Bingo” Mastin is doing things at the University of Nebraska. He played football on freshman team and will probably make the Varsity team next year. He also played basketball on the Freshman team. Ralph and Paul Quackenbush are on Bellevue baseball team and on the track team. Robert Gerlaw is “eating up” the ground at Manhattan College. He won the two, three and five mile races and so received a twenty dollar gold medal. He has run against many college men this year and has not been defeated. The coach said that Bob would make one of the greatest runners in the country with another year’s training- Glass Qorm For four years there has been, in the form of construction, In the harbor of Auburn, so calm and serene, A great massive ship, whose tall sturdy frame Is adorned with wide sails of cherry and cream. As the sky is aflame with the scarf of the morning, Her bow to the breakers she cautiously turns, And steers boldly forth on the beautiful deep. How brilliant the light in her binnacle burns! And now she has paused at the crest of the ocean, How nobly she stands in the magnificent sun, As she lowers from her sides twenty brave little boats, Their labors together they know are now done. As the huge ship at sea, in vast space, vaporizes, Each craft, howe’er frail, its course must pursue. Some may sail smoothly forth, in the channel of life, Arid glide along calmly the whole journey thru. Some may face the storm-cloud as fiercely he rolls, With threatening thunder across the dark sky. May each sail bravely on with his teeth in the breeze, Or hide in a bay till the storm passes by! May they all pass “Thru Straits to Exalted Conditions;’’ In this chain of friendship may there be no missing link; From the huge ship that sailed forth in the year nineteen twelve, May not one single craft be permitted to sink Daisy Clark-1912. ! f i 1 1 i t I f After the Midland Game After the State Meet A DIRGE. She laid the still white form beside those which had gone before; no sob, no sigh forced its way from her heart, throbbing as though it would burst. Suddenly a cry broke the stillness of the place-one single heartbreaking shriek; then silence; another cry; more silence then all silent but for a gutural murmer, which seemed to well up from her very soul. She left the place. She would lay another egg tomorrow. A Freshman stood on the burning deck And as far as he could learn, He stood in perfect safety. For he was too green to burn. JUNIOR SENTIMENT.
