Within a short time we organized our class under the direction of Miss McGrew. Mina Lynch was elected president, Hazel Gerlaw vice president, and Ray Robertson, Secretary and Treasurer. The social events of our first year were few but we spent one very pleasant afternoon with Mr. Dormeus in geographical research among the beautiful mountains surrounding Auburn. Next September found us reorganizing our class under the direction of Miss Hudson. We found that only thity nine had returned to resume their work. For officers we elected James Allen president, Hazel Gerlaw vice president, and Thelma Nichol, secretary and treasurer. There was but one class party. We all enjoyed it however. It was given Hallowe’en night at Woodman Hall. We ranked first in literary work Edith Dort was our class editor and she, Irene Marts, Helen Lorance and Geraldine Bell furnished stories for the high school literature. Athletics received a snare of our attention also Willard Whitmore was on the first team and we had several on the second. Our holiday consisted of one half day, during which we might go where we wished and hunt Botany specimens. But this did not hinder our having a good time. When next we trod the familiar paths to Old Auburn High School we were Juniors. Then we moved from our lower room to one in the second story. Although we moved up but one story our fancy moved us four. Early in the year we re-elected James Allen and Hazel Gerlaw and chose Mina Lynch as treasurer. Our enrollment was thirty. Hazel Walsh, Robert Cooper and Bessie Lawrence having stopped for various reasons. Our Athletic standard was high if not higher than regular eleventh grade standards. There were two men on the basket ball team, three on the basket ball team and three on the track team. W’e also had the honor of having Helen Lorance, one of our members, on the debating team. Never before was the social side of our career so great. Besides parties and sleigh rides, we had two candy feeds, a class play, “The Elopement of Ellen,” and a Minstrel Show. Near the beginning of the year we were entertained at the home of Irene Marts. All had a pleasant time despite the fact that the Senior boys confiscated a great part of our refreshments. The Minstrel Show was a great success and added untold wealth to our treasury- It proved that “negro talk” is not above our rability. Fay Hughes so acted the part that one could fancy themselves on a southern plantation as she sang “Coon, Coon, Coon.” The next social event was the class play given at the Maclay Opera House. It was rendered in a delightful manner and greatly pleased the audience. April the twenty-sixth our class gave the annual Banquet in honor of the departing Senior class. A splendid four course dinner was served, after which they were entertained by music and toasts given by members of both classes and faculty. This year our holiday was one-half day. We went to Howe in a hay rack and spent the afternoon playing ball and looking at things. We soon tired of it however and started home early. We held our final examinations in the court house so the workmen could begin tearing down the old building, for we were to have a new one in which to complete our course. Although school was not started until October the seventh, the new building was not ready, so we began school as Seniors in the spacious apartments of Souder’s hall. These we shared with the Juniors. On re-organizing, we found that Geraldine Bell and Edith Dort had left our class. We were delighted by the entrance of Bertha Wagner. James Allen and Hazel Gerlaw were re elected and Willard Whitmore was chosen as treasurer. The class was represented in all the athletic teams. There were three men on the track team, four on the baseball team and four on the basket ball team. The class of 1914 suffered a crushing defeat from both our base and basket ball team. We stood first in the Interclass meet which gave to us the High School Championship. There was a girl’s basket ball team organized in which the seniors played the leading part. We also had two of our members on the debating squad. The last Monday in April found us in the new buliding. The large rooms, high cuttings and spacious lobbies awed us at first but we soon became used to them. Our feelings toward the new building were hard to analyze. We wanted it and were glad to attend it but our class history was formed in the old building and its place in our affections cannot be replaced by grandeur. But this cannot hinder the great pride we have in being the first class to graduate from the new high school building. Our class flag of lavendar and gold was the first flag to wave from the flagstaff of the new building. This was accomplished by a trick of a few Seniors and we were soon forced to take it down- But the honor was ours and could not be taken away. The annual Senior picnic was taken the twenty-eighth of May. We resolved to visit historic Brownville. The day was happily spent in sight seeing among the ancient ruins and bluff climbing. The Senior class play “At the End of the Rainbow,’’ was given June the tenth. Nearly every member of the class took part. It was a great success for much time had been put on its preparation. Our pride in our class is great for we are not only the first class to graduate from the new building but are the largest graduating class the Auburn schools have ever had. We wish to thank the faculty for the help they have given us and hope that much happiness is in store for them. The Senior class have overcome all obstacles with such decisive victories that we may be sure success is in store for them. —Ester Wood Sermon Brforr tlF Class .... .......Choir Rev. John G.

Auburn now has for its use one of the most splendidly furnished buildings to be found anywhere. The High School as it stands complete represents the careful planning and watchful oversight of some of the most public spirited men of our city. The Board of Education have given up a great deal of their time and attention in order that the young people of this vicinity might enjoy the fullest privileges which now accompany the modern high school education. Those of of us who have only played the part of anxious onlookers will not appreciate fully the service rendered by ;these men to the community. Their service is a real contribution to the community and probably more far reaching in its results than any other they could perform. The business men of the city have responded loyally to our canvas for advertising- Nearly every business line in the city is represented. Their support is appreciated and through their kind assistance only is this little volume possible. 3. jfrtcnti of tfjr ISUfjttr 3f?cron Sylvia thought her grandmother would be angry with her for staying so late, but she had hunted all afternoon for the cow. The old cow, it seems, knew from experience that by holding her head still the bell about her neck would not ring, so she hid in the hushes and waited until Sylvia would find her. Today it seemed that the cow was harder to find than usual for it was late when Sylvia had come to the gate. She walked down the path behind the cow nearly asleep but keeping step with her. The little birds were going to sleep in the bushes. She could hear their sleepy twitters. The cow came to the creek, waded in knee deep and began to drink. It seemed that she would never finish or may be it was Sylvia’s wanting to get home, but it seemed a long while before she slowly climbed the opposite bank. After they had gone a little way up the path she heard a whistle. She darted into the underbrush, but was too late. A young man came up with a gun over his shoulder. After consideable coaxing he got her to come out of the bushes and tell him her name. They walked on until they came to the little farm house. At first the old lady thought he was one of the farmer boys of the neighborhood .but when he asked if he could get some supper and a place to sleep, the old lady was very hospitable. She said “Sylvia, get this man a plate ” After he had eaten he sat outside the door takmg to the old lady. He said that he had seen a heron Hying this way and would give any one ten dollars if he would locate it for him. Sylvia’s heart beat fast. Was this the great white bird she had seen so frequently of late? But whether she needed the money or not she did not speak. Sylvia did not sleep well that night and just before day break she left the house and went to a hill where a tall cottonwood stood and reaching the lower branches by way of another tree she climbed to the top. Far away to the east she could see the sea and looking west to the salt marsh where she knew the heron’s nest was. She started. There arose the large bird. She held her breath. Nearer and nearer he came until he alighted on the cottonwood near her. He sat there straightening and oiling his feathers, then, arising his head called to his mate who called back at regular intervals. At last the noisy sparrows drove him away. Sylvia climbed down as best she could for her fingers were stiff and sore and made her way to the house. The following Jays were spent roaming the woods with the hunter. At last when he had all the birds he wanted and could not get the white heron he slung his sack over his shoulder and left. Sylvia longed for that ten dollars and the things she could have bought with it but was glad that she did not tell the secret of the White Heron. Wilson Shanks, ’16.

The junior class enrollment is thirty, being eight less than that of our sophomore year. The class has made a place for itself in athletics this year of which it may well be proud. In basket ball we were represented on the first team by Souders as regular forward, with Klerser and Carman as substitutes. Their work was certainly remarkable, especially when you consider that this was their first year of basket ball. The fact that we have several strong track men was proven in the class meet which the Seniors captured from us by the small margin of a point and a half. The men representing us on the track team are Klepser and Bellas. Besides our athletic record we are the only class in school that can boast of musical organization. We have two such groups, namely: The Ladies’ Quartette, composed of Misses McKenney, Mutz, Harris and Redfern, and The Male Quartette, consisting of Messrs. Barnes, Thompson, Curzon and Huffman. The Ladies’ Quartette needs no introduction to high school students. Last year they established a record that has since been maintained. Their work this year has been really unusual and we only regret that we were not oftener favored by their selections. The Male Quartette is a result of Miss Nims endeavor to interest the boys in music- Although this is their first year the boys feel encouraged to continue their work along this line. Even those who deny their ability, admit that three has been a great improvement- To Principal Johnson of Antioch and Miss Redfern, our accompanist, all credit for such improvement rightly belongs. They both worked hard and the quartette feels greatly indebted to them. The Junior class held one class party this year at the Keedy convention hall. Every one reported a good time and all especially enjoyed the cake, etcetera. Among the coming events of the year are the customary Junior-Senior banquet and the Junior program, both to be held in the near future. The latter will be held in the new High School on Friday, May 13- The program is as follows: Selection—“Sleep on Thy Pillow” Male Quartette Reading -“Local Color”...........................Myrle Argabright Selection-“Come Where the Lliies Bloom”.........Ladies’ Quartette Paper-“A Few Announcements” ......................Richard Curzon Reading—“Dot Long Handled Dipper”..................Myrtle Harris Solo - ‘ ‘Absent” • • .........................Courtney Anderson One Act Comedy Farce ‘‘A CASE OF SUSPENSION” CAST Dorothy ) (................................Ruth Horrum Alice r Seminary Girls - .......................... • ..Nellie Briggs Mildred ) (...............................

CLASS OF ’16 Clje Creasure tn tije JJIantd [The last few decades have witnessed a marked change in story-writing. Our modern school readers contain man stories derived from classic sources. Myths and legends are utilized and the pages of history are called for incident and anecdote. In past generations the moral effect was the thing sought for. The school readers of those days contained many stories intended to encourage the practice of kindness, self denial and like virtues by providing a prompt reward. I have attempted to reproduce one of these old stories, read to me so many times in childhood from the reader my father used when a boy].—Author’s Note On a shady and cool street in the little town of Lac Qui Paile, Minnesota, stood the neat old cottage of Mrs. Brown, who had been a widow for six years. There was about Mrs Brown a kindly manner which made the young people of the town respect and love her. Often the girls dropped in on their way home from school, and the boys frequently split her wood, and carried the coal and water. Mrs. Brown had not always been poor. When her husband was living he was considered quite weathy, but after his death nothing could be found except two small cottages side by si,Je. Mrs. Brown lived in one and rented the other but the rent was so small that it enabled her to live but very modestly. Mrs. Brown’s best friend was Alice Brent, a young orphan girl sixteen years of age, who lived with some distant relatives in Las Qui Paile. On the afternoon of which I am speaking Alice and Mrs. Brown sat by the fireside, chatting gayly together, when a deep shadow settled over the face of the latter. “Alice,” she asked sadly,“why do you come to see me so often? There is nothing attractive here. I am old- and my house is old and ” “Why Mrs. Brown! How can you talk so?” interrupted Alice. “You know that we love you and would rather come to see you than go to a dozen circuses!” “Yes, child, I know that you love me and I wish I were able to keep you with me always.” “O! you are too good to me indeed, and I too wish I might stay with you forever. But already ’tis time for me to go. Tomorrow, you know, is Christmas and I must hurry home to help cousin Sarah I shall come again Christmas morning. So good-bye,” and with a nod and a smile Alice tripped off down the narrow village street. Mrs. Brown sat down by the fireside and gazed thoughtfully at the tlames. She sat thus for a half hour with a deep sadness resting on her face. Then she arose and made her way up the narrow creeking stairs to the garret. And in this manner the kind old lady soliloquized; “I know what I’ll do! I’ll find that curious old box which was sent to Mr. Brown from India.” She rummaged about in all the old boxes for a long time crooning a quaint lullaby. ‘‘Here it is at last!” she exclaimed suddenly. ‘‘The same old box. The lining is still bright and new, I will find some bits of ribbon and silk and make a neat little work box for Alice.” She made a pretty needlebook and from her own scanty stock she added pins, needles and her only pair of scissors. She left a tiny space for a little thimble, to be purchased on the morrow, and then retired for the night. Christmas morning dawned bright and clear. Alice hastened to complete her work in anticipation of her visit to Mrs. Brown’s. Once started, she ran all the wav and then burst into the room crying, ‘‘Merry Christmas! Mrs. Brown.” ‘‘Thank you, my dear. It will indeed be a merry Christmas if you can spend the day with me.” ‘‘I can stay until dinner time, and then I must go home to help Cousin Sarah. But see what a fine present Uncle Jack sent me! Isn’t it prettyT” and Alice held up a small silver pocket book. ‘‘It is very nice Alice. If you only had some money to put in it!” ‘‘Yes, that would be nice,” laughed Alice,‘‘but as I have not been so fortunate as to receive any money it is nut likely to be worn out soon.” ‘‘Weir' it is always nice to have things handy, for some time they may be needed. Excuse me a moment dear ” continued Mrs. Brown and stepped into an adjoining room. Soon she reappeared with the little work box- Alice was delighted with it and examined it very closely. ■ ‘‘Why, Mrs. Brown! What is this?—The lining seems so very loose in this corner.” Closer examination revealed a small piece of tin. Alice picked it up crying. ‘‘Look! There is carving on it!-and a picture of a mantel! With a cross on one of the tiles! - Why, Mrs. Brown! This is your mantel! The one in the parlor! It says ‘Seek and ye shall find.’ Oh! Mercy! I’m going to see!” Alice was wild with excitement and ran ran with the carved tin to the mantel. She was in such haste to examine the tiles that she jarred one loose and it fell to the floor broken into a thousand pieces. ‘‘0! What have I done? 0! Mrs. Brown, I am so sorry!” “Never mind my dear. It can be mended. Let us see if we can’t find the tlie which is marked.” Alice looked first at the tin and tnen at the mantel. ‘‘Mrs. Brown! Look! The tile which I broke is the very one which was marked! and 0! there is a hollow space in there!” Alice leaned very close to the opening and peered within. There was something of a dingy white color in the hollow space. ‘‘There is a big bag of something in there.” she exclaimed wildly. She thrust her hand into the recess and pulled out a large bag, so worn that it burst with the weight of its contents; and Mrs. Brown and Alice gazed in amazement as the large silver and gold coins fell to the floor rolling in every direction. “0! Mrs. Rrown! You dear, kind, old lady!” cried Alice, taking her by the hands and whirling her around. “Now you won’t be poor any more! You can have new clothes and furniture and 0! everything!” Alice was so excited she scarcely knew what to do- She hopped about first on one foot and then the other, chattering and clapping her hands. But Mrs. Brown was too overcome to realize her good fortune and sat silently in the old oak chair with her eyes fixed. Ailce slipped over to the mantel. The thought had occurred to her that perhaps there were more bags, and she reached her hand into the opening. To her exceeding joy she pulled out bag after bag and piled the money on the table. Then she sat down beside them and buried her head in her hands. What if Mrs. Brown, now that she had become so wealthy should no longer care for her. a poor orphan girl! Her prolonged silence caused Mrs. Brown to glance in her direction. Half guessing the thoughts of the girl, she came over to her. Laying her hand gently on Alice’s shoulder she said kindly, “Child do not feel so sad. My good fortune shall only make my love for you the stronger. Now, please give me your pocketbook, dear.” Mrs. Brown took it and filled it to the brim. Before Alice could thank her she continued, “And now Alice, I shall want you to become my very own daughter and live with me forever.” Many years have passed since that memorable day. Alice has grown to young womanhood; characterized by beauty and a loving disposition. She and her old gray haired friend still live alone in the cozy little vine-covered cottage. They often sit on the cool shady porch and talk together in low tones of the day when Alice discovered ‘‘The Treasure in the Mantel.” Helena Lorance, A. H. S. ’13. BASKET BALL TEAM Basket Ball 1912=13 Probably the moat successful basketball year of Auburn High School has just passed. Owing to the late start of school, the basketball season did not open until December 13, 1912. The outlook for basketball at the commencement of school was not very good. Four of our last year’s 1st team men were gone, and our basketball hall was converted into a school room. Whitmore, guard, was the only man left on last year’s team; Mastin, a regular of 1911 team, decided to enter school again. Things began to look brighter. We received use of the Daugherty Opera House and with this hall to practice in, basket ball practice was started. With a squad of fifteen men under the training of Supt. Doremus and Coach Hare, there was not any reason why the A. H. S. should not be represented by the best basket ball team in its history. After a few weeks’ practice the first team was selected consisting of Mastin, center, (capt.); Souders and Robsrtson forwards; Whitmore and Allen guards. With the team picked several games were scheduled, the first one with Tecumseh, Dec. 13, 1912. Tecumseh, 15—Auburn, 27. Friday, 13th, we journeyed in autos to Tecumseh to play one of the most important games of the season. The outcome was doubtful before 8:30 p. m., ;after that it was not. About midnight we journeyed back again with Tecumseh’s goat in the score of 27 to 15. Syracuse, 18; Auburn, 49 -At Auburn. This was the first home game of the season. Syracuse was reported fast and lived up to their reputation. Auburn was faster, however, and walked off with the game to the score of 49 to 18. The game was fast and clean throughout. Newman Grove, 26; Auburn, 32 -At Auburn. On Monday eve, Dec. 30, Newman Grove invaded warm and sunny Auburn with a force of ten men, from the cold north. They intended to take us by storm, but owing to the warmth of climate, changed their minds. This was undoubtedly the fastest game ever played on the local floor. The teams were evenly matched, with Newman Grove a little the heavier. A record breaking crowd was out and enthusiasm ran high. The game was started about 8:45 and was anybodies game from the start. The first half ended with a score of 15 to 11 in favor of Newman Grove. In the second half Auburn solved Newman Grove's offense and proceeded to break it up. After the first five minutes Auburn forged ahead and kept in the lead to the finish; 2nd half ended with a score of 21 to 12 in favor of Auburn. Final score was 27 to 32. Souders’ goal throwing featured, practically winning the game on his face throws, throwing 12 out of 15. Plattsmouth, 14; Auburn, 34 - At Auburn. Jan. 3, we defeated Plattsmouth in the roughest game of the season. The game was characterized by numerous fouls. The final score was 34 to 14 in favor of Auburn. Syracuse, 28; Auburn, 21 - At Syracuse. Jan. 10 Syracuse had the honor of being the first team to defeat Auburn. The first half Auburn failed to get into her stride, the haU ending 19 to 3 in favor of Syracuse. The second half Auburn swung into her usual team work and accurate goal throwing and came out with the long end of the score 18 to 8. If time would have been stretched five minutes the tables would have been turned. Capt. Mastin starred in this game, securing five field goals in the last half. Final score 21 to 28. Tecumseh, 36; Auburn, 21-At Auburn. For the second time during the season we defeated Tecumseh in a fast, clean game to the score of 36 to 21. The team work of the home players was the best of the year. Plattsmouth, 40; Auburn, 54-At Plattsmouth. Auburn journeyed up to Plattsmouth Friday, Jan. 24, via the M. P. The game was the opposite of the first game. Owing to the slick floor, numerous goals were made by both sides. Final score 54 to 40. Uni. of Omaha. 11; Auburn. 48-At Auburn. This game was slow and uninteresting from start to finish, the local team playing rings around the Omaha team. When time was called Auburn was in the lead with a score of 48 to 11. Peru, 38;—Auburn, 24. Febr. 14 we journeyed over to Peru. Whitmore was out on account of sickness, leaving the team in a crippled condition. Klepser, who had been playing at forward, took Whitmore’s place. Well, we journeyed over to Peru and played the game the best we knew how, Klepser, especially showing up well in his new position. Then we journeyed home again. This time, however, we left our goat behind us in the score of 38 to 24. Temple High, 16-Auburn, 33. Febr. 21 witnessed another fast game of basket ball. With Whitmore back in the line up, we took Temple High’s measure to the score of 33 to 16. The game was fast, clean and interesting, with a few spectacular goals to add the variety. Peru Seniors, 31 -Auburn, 49-At Auburn. Saturday night, March 1st, Peru came over to see what they could do. They were wise enough to bring the goat along over and we won it back again, while we defeated them 49 to 31 and made up for our defeat two weeks previous. Ohiowa, 26-Auburn, 13. Thursday afternoon, March 13, we played Ohiowa at Lincoln at the state tournament. Ohiowa threw the first two goals and then Auburn fell into their usual stride and defeated Ohiowa. Friday morning Auburn played Omaha at Lincoln. In this game we were simply outclassed and the less said about it the better. The score stood 34 to 8, Souders making all of the points for Auburn. In reviewing the season of 1912-13 we think Auburn has had the fastest basket ball team in its history. A large part of the success of the teams has been due to the 2nd team, wno have played the first team without get ting out of it except hard knocks. Thanks 2nd team and we wish you, the members of the A. H. S. team of 1913-14 a successful and prosperous year in the new gym. “READY OUR HOME IN THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTION BASKET BALL TEAM Baseball in the A. H. S. has started with a vim and promises ) be a most successful year. Excellent material has been discovered in school. Souders, Whitmore and Bellas will probably work on the mound. Mastin will probably take care of the receiving end. Souders will work at third when not pitching, Klepser at second. Lorance at short. Robertson or Allen at first, while Williams, Carmen, Redfern, and Kerns are taking care of the fields. Games are being scheduled by the coach and some fast games are assured. Class baseball has already started. In a fast game of ball the Seniors defeated the Juniors 8 to 4. The lineup for Seniors was: Whitmore, p; Mastin, c; Lorance, ss; Allen 1st; Robertson, 2nd; Williams, 3rd: Kerns, field. Juniors: Carmen, c: Bellas, p; Klepser, 1st; Conner, 2nd; Holman, 3rd: Ailor and Redfern. fields. The Freshmen defeated the Sophomores in a good game. The score was 6 to 5 in favor of Freshmen. The batteries for Freshmen: Redfern and Ailor: for Sophomores: Kerns and Keyt. The interclass championship between the Seniors and Freshmen will be played off soon and a good game is assured. Early in the school year of 1912-’13, a boy’s athletic association was organized which has proven itself to be a success in every way. It is composed of about thirty young men, all enthusiastic boosters of athletics in the High School. The purpose of its organization was to get a basket ball team and other athletic features for the High School and to start them out on a firm financial bases. Officers were elected at the start who have held their positions thru out the year. Regular dues were assessed and the first month’s receipts were spent for a basket ball, hall rent, etc. On the evening of Jan. 7, 1913, the association gave a candy feed at a basket ball game and cleared enough to buy some much needed trappings for the basket ball boys. Meetings have been held from time to time as called by the president or Mr. Hare, and different matters incident to school athletics have been discussed and the society has proven a great help to the basket ball and track teams. TRACK TEAM When track season opened the outlook for a winning team was not the brightest because of the fact that only our experienced men were in school, Mastin. Whitmore Conner and Bellas. But as the season advanced things began to look much better. The old men rounded into form and would have won their respective events at the Southeastern, also the new material, especially Robertson, Klepser, Dawley, Barnes and Carmen, was doing excellent work. In April was held the Annual Class Meet and Try Out. It was a most satisfactory meet from every standpoint, some good records being made. The Seniors won the meet with 27£ points. Juniors second with 26£; Sophomores third with 17, and Freshmen fourth with 2. Mastin was individual point winner with a big lead. Bellas was second and Conner third. Bellas won the 100 yard dash, Mastin the 220, Robertson the pole vault, Whitmore the shotput. Mastin the broad jump. Conner the mile Mastin the 440 Bellas the high jump and Conner the half mile In the dual meet with Tecumseh at Tecumseh we lost by a score of 51£ to 22h. We were especially strong this year in the 440, the high jump, the shot put and the relay. In the Tecumseh meet Mastin ran the 440 in 56 3-5. which is very fast time for a high school athlete. Bellas was doing the high jump at 5 ft. 8 in., Whitmore was putting the shot about 40 ft.. Mastin was doing the broad jump regularly better than 20 ft., and the relay team was undoubtedly the fastest in southeast Nebraska. The relay team was composed of Bellas, Robertson, Whitmore and Mastin. The Southeast Nebraska track meet was called off this year on account of rain. The meet would have been a very close one. A school winning 20 points would probably have won it, and it is believed that Auburn could have won it. because of having three or four sure firsts. The prospects for a winning team next year is very good. DEBATING TEAM James Allen Lewis Tyler Helen Lorance A. M. Hare, (Coach) Myrl Argabright The past year was a disastrous one as far as victories were concerned. In our one debate Falls City secured the verdict. But measured in terms of work accomplished, of good received, of pleasant though busy meetings of the squad, we feel that it was still worth while. Our team had but one experienced member Helen Lorance. who very unfortunately was taken ill a week before the debate. Lewis Tyler, alternate then stepped in and proved himself worthy in every way. Myrl Argabright did very effective platform work both in rebuttal and direct argument. James Allen, caDtain of the team, combines a good platform presence with strong organizing capacity in planning the methods of attack. A resume of the year’s effort is discouraging in one way but because of the, personal interest and the good material available next year. The time has been well spent SENIOR FROLIC AT BROWNVILLE PLEIADES The Pleiades Club was organized in November 1911. This organization consisted of seven members, who banded together for a social purpose. A suitable name was next sought and the membership being seven “The Pleiades” was thought quite fitting and accordingly adopted. The emblem of the club is the seven pointed star. The members were very sorry to have one of their number drop out a few months ago. This leaves only six in the club at present. THE AUBURN HIGH SCHOOL O. N. S.

SUPERINTENDENT’S OFFICE Cf)p 3(11 fitting flippers Horace Gorsuch was a youns banker in the city of New York. He lived in the suburbs of that great city with his mother, who was a widow, his brother Henry and his sister Helen. He had worked hard that hot day in August, so hard in fact that even he thoughts of a visit to a certain young lady who lived on the other side of the city did not rest him. Consequently he was relieved when a messenger boy brought him this note. 398 West St., Aug. 9, 1906. Mr. Horace Gorsuch: I have just received word that my aunt, Miss Thorpe, is very ill I must go to her at once. I regret very much that I will not be at home tonight. Yours truly, Myra Epler. Horace read it over once, then he read it again to assure himself of its truth. “Bless her old aunt and her sickness,” he thought. I can go to see my girl on any night that I can dress up and be comfortable, but tonight I can not leave this, the coolest spot within miles. Horace stretched himself out in a hammock without coat or collar, hat or shoes. He half slept and dreamed of the day when he would be president of the bank and go on business trips to Europe. He thought of all the wonderful things he would buy his mother, his girl and yes, the aunt who had made it possible for him to be there and be quiet on that sultry night. It was gradually getting cooler. His deams gave way to visions of fair ladies and green Gods. Then even these left him and the occupants of the house were disturbed by his giving vent to his satisfaction. He was awakened by a crash of thunder. He opened his eyes only to be dazzled by a flash of lightning. Having gotten his bearings he started indoors when two men came hurrying up the walk. They introduced themselves as Mr. Birch and Mr. Cook, and explained that they were caught in the storm, they would like to have shelter for the night. What they asked was gladly given. “What will you do with your car,” asked Horace, “we haven’t a barn.” Mr. Birch replied that it was as wet as it could be now so they would just leave it out. These men were on their way from Albany, N. Y., to Jersey City, on business. Horace told them that evening about his work and his ambitions to which they listened with interest. They all retired early. It was still raining. Horace had a holiday next day. About nine o’clock a messenger boy came with a telegram for Mr. Birch, after which he and Mr. Cook had a long consultation. At noon the men asked Horace if he would like to take a business trip to Europe for them. They were on their way to see a man about the trip, but the telegram had informed them that he would be unable to go. He would have to start in two weeks. They gave him a day to think it over. In three hours he had decided to go. He received a letter from Myra saying that she would not be back for three weeks, and as she was in Ohio he could not see her before he left home, so he wrote a short letter to her. New York, N. Y., Aug. 11, 1903. Dear Myra: I have had a sudden call to Europe. It will be impossible for me to see you before I go. I will let you know my address as soon as I reach Europe. Yours in haste, Horace. His ship sailed on the 23rd of August. He took leave of his mother and sister at home, but his brother went with him to the ship. Just as Henry was leaving the ship he said, “I’ll take care of Myra for you.’’ “All right,” answered Horace, “see that you do.” For the first three days he was sea sick, but after that he enjoyed every second of the trip. Upon reaching Europe his business took him just three weeks, and as his employes had given him leave of absence for four months, he thought he would go sightseeing. He and Myra had exchanged several letters. In one of these she had said that her aunt was weM and she was at home again. Horace made it a point to get a little trinket for each member of his family and for Myra at each town he visited. One night he suddenly thought of Myra’s aunt whom he had vowed to get a present for. He must do that the very next day. So when he was down town he began to look for something. He saw a black cape which was beaded and bought it. Then he decided he wanted it for his mother. He remembered that once when he had been at this aunt’s with Myra he saw that she liked china, so he got her a china cab drawn by china horses. (By the way this aunt was the only thing in the way of the marriage of Myra and Horace.) At the same store he saw a pair of red slippers with pointed toes which rounded up in Turkish style with gold braiding and a gold bell on each toe. He thought that it would be a great joke to send Henry a pair like them. He bough a set of combs set in rubies for Helen. He could not think of what to get for Myra when he saw a looking glass which when you picked it up it would play Annie Laurie and he bought it. At his room he unwrapped this purchases and wrapped them up again preparatory for sending them away. When he came to Myra’s aunt’s present he was at loss what to do because he didn’t want it to get broken. He glanced around and saw a shoe box. “That is just the thing,” he said aloud. Having wrapped his packages he wrote a letter to each one. There is no use in putting the letters in the packages because I’ll have to pay the postage anyway, he thought. “I came to mail your letters sir,” said his servant. “In a minute,” Horace answered, as he quickly addressed his mail. He had expected to stay two weeks longer, but finding that he could go about five days sooner he cabled his people and started. Just as he was getting on the ship he was handed a letter from his brother. In the course of the latter, he read: ‘Why under the sun didn’t you wait until I was going to get married to give me china presents? I can never keep this beautiful china until I find the right girl.” What is he talking about,” thought Horace, then as the truth burst upon him a cloud fell over all the pleasures of his European trip. He had sent the china cab to Henry and the red slippers to Myra’s aunt. He lived in a horrible dream all the way home. Sometimes he would think of her with her little ringlets and red slippers on her feet. Other times he wished he was h'me and the meeting was over, yet again the ship would be going too fast. At last the ship reached port. He was in America again, all his family and Myra were there to meet him. He looked again. Horrors of horrors! Her aunt was with her. Why couldn’t she wait until he had been home an hour or two? They all went into a little lunch room near by and they all talked at once it seemed. Horace dared not look up. He could feel the eyes of Myra’s aunt boring into him. The storm broke ‘‘You dear boy,” she said, ‘‘I always stood in the way of you and Myra, because I thought that you did not have good judgment, but you have proven to me that you have. I know I am a queer old maid. I was so glad that you thought enough of me to send me a present You show such good taste too, only those slippers were a little too large. I don’t know how you knew my favorite colors were red and gold. You blessed boy I’ll not stand in your way any longer.” Horace told her that he could easily get another size of slippers, so every thing was arranged to every one’s satisfaction Amy Roberta Rogers, ’15.
