J. A. DOREMUS M. A. University of Wisconsin Every time we are given the opportunity to speak or write about Mr. Doremus our mind goes to things constructive. We are of the opinion that there never has been a man connected with the Auburn schools who has done as much for them as Mr. Doremus. He has wrought with a strong and wise hand with his eye to the future and the results of his work are good. Our only hope is that he will not be handicapped in the future by short sighted individuals as he has been in the past. CARLET r— -ANP a.C 1 1 M f5 fA DON J. YOUNG Auburn, Nebraska. Peru Normal; University of Nebraska The Senior Class has been associated with Mr. Young for the past three years. During that time he has accomplished in a more than concievable manner the part of instructor and friend. His interesting classes, our personal problems worked out with his help, the many nights given to us as instructor at the play practice, the enjoyable evenings spent in his home have inbedded in the hearts of the seniors pleasant memories that will be remembered long after other High School experience? have been forgotten. 1 Miss McGrew, the senior member of the high school faculty has a permanent place in the hearts and minds of every individual that has come in contact with her. She won our respect and friendship the first year we were in high school when she was ou: class sponsor. Our most sincere wish for Miss McGrew is that she be as happy in her relation with future classes as we have been in our contact with her. m y] { w p Xi � MARIE RUSS LATIN AND UK It MAM Falls City.

Four years ago, from many sources, we came together as Freshmen. Since then we have had many common interests and pleasures. Now, each one will pursue that course, which interests him the most. Some of us will attend University or college, others will take up some industrial work. Since about half of our class are planning to teach in the rural schools the coming year, it would be well for us to consider some of the problems which we will meet. We have been thinking very seriously about these matters for some time and so we feel that we need not ask with Kipling “What shall we do, now there is no one to teach us to go wisely?” Let us consider some of the problems that we, as teachers, shall have to face- First of all. there is the attitude of the teacher to the district. Just what is her relation to the school-board? They are not merely a group of men from whom she expects a pay-check each month, but a very real factor. Is a teacher to give up her own personality and opinions to become a machine to do blindly what they say, or is she to do what she pleases without regard to their wishes? No one can say “do this” or “do that,” but each condition must be met as it arises and met tactfully and sympathetically. Then, too. the parents in the district have a claim upon the teacher. She is responsible to them for the child, physically, mentally, and morally while he is under her control. More than refusing to take part in any neighborhood quarrels, she may even become a peacemaker in the district. She must make parents as well as pupils trust in her and believe that she is doing everything for the good of all. On her depends the kind of SCARLET rfsp AND pUnrWR | -fr P ! iiiitiiiinil nppfci citizens the next generation will have. For her influence, good or evil, goes out to the whole district and upon her, to a large extent, rests the character building of the pupils. The teacher herself should be impartially interested and interesting, sympathetic, and, above all, she has to be able to control her temper. She may be impatient and discouraged many times, but she owes it to the entire district to practice self-restraint. Then there are the problems of the first day. A ; that day draws nearer and nearer, the heart of the novice sinks lower and lower. Just what is she to do and how is she to do it? The teacher goes into the school almost a perfect stranger, knowing that that whole roomful of pupils is watching her and weighing her in the balance. Tact and courage are needed many times but at this time especially. If she is ignorant of what to do the pupil; soon sense the situation and you may be sure they will not help her When a teacher has a program made out beforehand she can immediately set the pupils to work. If she is able to tell each one what to do, half the battle is won in gaining the esteem of the pupils. For five days out of the week and for seven hours or more each day the teacher is responsible for the child’s comfort. It is her business to see that each child has a seat the proper size for him. If necessary, she must raise them by placing planks under them. There should be good ventilation without having cool drafts of air blowing over the pupils. The temperature of the room has to be kept uniform and the room itself needs always to be clean and cheerful. It is the teacher’s duty to watch the children for poor eyesight, hearing and other defects with a view of having them remedied. Smoking and other bad habits have to be kept from entering the school or cured if they are in. Yet it is necessary for all this to be accomplished tactfully and kindly so that no one may take offense. Tu and not ego must always come first with her. To a certain extent the teacher decides just what should be taught and how. It is for her to discover the capabilities of each child and to find the point of contact SCARLET 0 h u: ) JA K for each one. For as Patterson Dubois says “The child’:’, mind is a castle that cm be taken neither by stealth nor by storm. But there is a natural way of approach and a gate of easy entry always open to him who knows how to find it.” How is she to enter the castle and how keep inside once she has gained access? Are the brighter pupils to be retarded for1 the sake of those who are slower? These are some of the problems, which demand prompt but wise solution There is also the preplexing problem of discipline to be solved. Many difficulties arise on this subject because of the strong personal element involved. The teacher is not tactful enough or misunderstands the pupils motives. Perhaps she is afraid of incurring the displeasure of the pupils or their parents, or helpless because she dosen’t know what to do. The motives for misbehavior should be sought. The child may be in an uncomfortable position, may have poor eyesight or hearing. He may be restless for the simple reason that he doesn’t have anything to do. If a pupil has plenty of work there is little opportunity for mischief, for, as the old saying goes, “Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do.” The right motives should be addressed. The child should be led to do right through hope of reward rather than through fear of punishment. Since the aim of discipline is to increase the child’s self-control and develop his character, the means used varies with the individual. But the foremost of all motives is the teacher’s character. It is her influence and spirit that govern the pupils in the school. She must first learn to control herself and then it will be easier to control others. But we, who are going out to teach, have as our ideal and pattern, the greatest instructor the world has ever known-We have “the Teacher come from God.” We, the class of 1916, have been sailing the sea of knowledge on board the vessel. School Education, for the last twelve years. Now we have reached the port where we must disembark and each must sail in his own little craft. Whether we arrive safe in that other harbor or go on the rocks will be disclosed in the future. It all depends upon ourselves. }4 CARLET A.n D.- . Tr GREEN ___________ fjpprpi ' rr 1 P15pt; c w rrirfi 'Yi To the people of the community, the builders of the ship, if you please, who have made it possible for us to obtain this schooling— To the Board of Education, the men in the shadow, seldom seen but always ready to take care that the power was applied to keep the vessel on its way— To Mr. Doremus, our ever faithful pilot and friend— To the faculty of the Auburn High School, who cooperated with our pilot to make the voyage profitable and yet pleasant—we, the Class of 1916, wish to proffer our sincere appreciation and thanks. Paraphrasing Mr. Lincoln we might say “You will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but we can never forget what you did here.” And now to the Class of 1916, I wish to say—but let us not say goodbye, “the sounds have all regret.” Let us borrow a phrase from the German, a phrase full of hope and cheer—Let us just say “Auf Wiedersehen.” —Wilhelmina M. Schroeder ’16. 7 M CAR LE T r— -ANP- —n C R Salutatory t One of the greatest problems which confronts the American people today in their advance to higher and better education is that of military training in high schools. Each day we are brought more and more to see that we have been content to drift with the current of events, enjoying the good which the Gods have provided, enduring the ills of life, without giving much thought as to the cause of the one, or the remedy for the other. We have been enjoying, and also have a great deal of pride in our splendid public school system in the United States. Also, we are forced to endure the sight of thousands of the young men of America drifting thru life, lacking an education not only in the subjects taught in school, but also in the duties of a good citizen. Therefore it is the duty of the Americans to take another step forward and do away, as much as possible, with this class of citizens. People differ as to the best means of accomplishing this undertaking, but all agree that such a step should be taken. The most important and practical remedy is the much talked of “Military Training.” Some people will contend that military training will tend toward Militarism, and make wars more easily started. Any of us would shrink from either of these results. However this contention is not true. Dr. Lyman Abbott said: “Although I am a member of nearly every Peace Society in America, I am rapidly reaching a conclusion that a system of compulsory Military Training would be of incalculable benefit to our young men, and to the country as a whole.” This Military Training would be beneficial in two ways. First, it would improve the young men both physically and mentally; second, their patriotism and regard for authority would be increased. The great aid in Military ways that would result from such training alone should warrant its adoption in our publis schools. Authorities tell us that manv of our best Military officers y CAR LE T G R E E N wpriivin? nic gAYi I?' !1 taunri i«rpr i_,nrr«ir«n '(fPI are men who have had some Military training in High School. Some people do not believe in military preparation against wars, but there are sufficient other reasons that make the adoption of Military Training highly desireable. It will be therefore from the physical and mental standpoints, rather than from the Military that I shall discuss the question. Sumter, South Carolina, is one of the most progressive cities in the South. It was here that the “City Manager plan of municipal government was first tried out. This Military Training plan was initiated by a committee of boys, who had no thought of war, but their sole object was to develop themselves physically and mentally, the subject of Militarism not being once broached to them. The plan initiated by these boys has been adopted by the public school system of the city. The results that have been accomplished in the Sumter schools, after training the boys over fifteen years without implanting in their plastic nature a yearning for warfare is proof that the project is a capital idea. The exercises necessarily cause them to develop bodily, and the fifteen minutes daily drill gives an opportunity to every boy to work himself up gradually into athletic trim, many of the boys being too frail at the start to take an active part in athletics. As a result the boys are more healthy and can accomplish more in athletics. The record of Sumter schools shows us they have won two high school foot-ball championships and they maintain a high standing in track athletics. These facts prove it has been of physical benefit. Now let us see if it has been of any mental benefit. Dr. P. P. Claxton, U. S. Commissioner of Education characterized as “a truly remarkable record” the work of the Sumter Schools. There were fifty-three graduates last year of which thirty-one were boys and out of the fifty-three, forty went to college, an almost unprecedented proportion for high school graduates. Dr. S. C. Mitchell, a noted educator, declared that the question “How to Hold Boys in the High School”? was answered by the Sumter Schools. pyl CAR LE T t 1 f’FPrinpTf Uinid 0 m k h i) JA ir • AND...... prip! [Pf, sbnfpr 5 1 The Sumter Schools hold the U. S. record for holding the largest percent of boys in school and all who are in touch with them attribute a great deal of the success to Military Training. Prof. S. H. Edmund, Superintendent of the Sumter Schools, said: “One of the most distinctive features of our schools is the emphasis of the personal element. Each pupil is made to feel that he is an individual, not a mere cog in a machine. He is lead to believe that there are those who have a genuine interest in him; that if he falls by the wayside, he will be missed. He is made to realize that he cannot afford to handicap himself in life’s race by inadequate preparation; that he owes it to himself, to his family and to his city to take advantage of every opportunity within his reach, to fit himself for his place in life.” In Wyoming they have a system of military training in the high schools which was introduced by Lieutenant E. S. Steever. It provides for military training for the boys through a system of carefully regulated squad competitions. They are divided into several units, which work separately and a complete record is kept of them. Thev also have contests with neighboring schools. This plan gives every boy an equal opportunity in athletic competition rather than putting a premium on individuals. The other forms of althletic training care for only a few. The American National Play-ground association advocates the adoption of a system, which provides for a game for every boy, and every boy in a game; and this is one of the fundamentals of Military Training. The only squad not provided for in these plans is the “Bleacher” squad. This system has no place for the boy who sits on the side-lines and watches the others work. School boys do not need to be taught the science of war, the elements of strategy, or the complicated tactics of military evolution, but they can be given physical training in military fashion. They can be taught to walk, march and carry themselves like soldiers; and, they can be taught to obey the word of command promptly and intelligently. It is the use of these principles that has made the “Boy Scouts” a national success. - CARLE T r—r -ANP-' l—nO R jrf w «pr, ini pRunnp Fr 1 IP ? fenhBjnD'r I ?A If we could establish Military training1 in our public schools, not in a war spirit, but in a spirit of civic service, it would be a great aid in the development of American citizenship. —Harold Smith ’10.

Owing to the fact that the new high school building was not yet completed, we took up our work in Keedy Hall. The total enrollment of the class was seventy-one, thirty-three coming from Antioch, fifteen from Athens and the remaining twenty-three from outside schools. Under the guidance of Miss McGrew we selected the following officers: President, Pearl Bath, Secretary, Lole Scofield, and Treasurer, Archie Cook. We moved to our new and permanent home in the fine new building the latter part of April of our Freshman year. During the first year we had two social events, a sleigh ride and a class party. However, we took an active part in all school activities. A second time our band, now numbering but thirty-five gathered together, this time under the name of “Sophomores.” Three of this number, Marie Bourke, James Cobry and Ethel Bunger were new members. . Miss Hanna was our sponsor this year, and we elected the following officers: Clarence Dawley, president; Celia Lo- rance, vice president, and Maude Lash secretary-treasurer. In this year our Girls Quartet first made its appearance. In the orchestra we were represented by Clarence Dawley and Marie Bourke. Edgar Redfern, Howard Ailor and Albert Hughes were on the basket ball team. Several of our members held prominent places in the Literary Society. Indeed, we were becoming a class of some importance. Our two social events of the year were a hard time pnrty held in the gymnasium and the class picnic. We held the picnic at Glen Rock mill and it proved a very enjoyable occasion. It was also of profit to the Botany students, who spent a major portion of the day hunting specimens. As Juniors we numbered thirty-two. Of these Ralph Miller, John Dustin, Mava Seaman, Frank Reagan, CAR LE T r—'“•-and -n C R 0 ■y m I v w W w YA 1 - Johanna Williams, Robert Armstrong and Gwyndolyn Connely were new members. For our class officers we elected Clarence Dawley, president; Celia Lorance, vice-president and Blanche Lippold, secretary-treasurer. Miss Tyler was our sponsor this year. We still held our place in all school activities. In music, we still had the Girls’ Quartet which had gained fame and popularity outside of the school. Marie Bourke still represented us in the orchestra. In the operetta “Polished Pebbles,” most of the principal parts were sung by Juniors. Two of our number, Clarence Dawley and Warren Lawrence, were on the debating squad. The Liberal Arts Society was also generously supported by the Juniors. During our Junior year we had a number of social events and money making ventures. It would be hard to distinguish between them, so I associate them together. We had our class picnic at Brownville, and we made it a memorable occasion. During the winter, we held candy sales at the basket ball games, to make money for the coming Junior-Senior banquet. In April we gave our class play and program. We think our play was unique in that it had a good plot and was well received, tho there was not a sign of a iove story in it. But the crowning event of the year was the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. It was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Bath. Clarence Dawley, our president, was toast master and in response to his call, we heard a number of witty and wholesome toasts. The supper too, was not to be surpassed, and we feel that we did the school and ourselves credit at this affair. Now we come to the last year of our high school life. Our class adviser is the principal, Mr. Young. The class officers are John Dustin, president; Blanche Lippold, vice-president, and Elma Dillon, secretary and treasurer. Among our numerous activities, the most notable ones are the production of the Scarlet and Green Annual and the Senior Class Play. As this book shows, our annual is a decided success, due to the efforts of the editor-in-chief and his staff. The Senior play “The Blossoming of Mary Anne” was given Wednesday evening May tenth. CAR LET r—'—AND ppjWrffffi r-TW w! ■'A The profits from this play went toward the production of this annual. Mr- Young and the cast deserve great credit for the successful production of this play. Also Seniors have prominent parts in the opera “The Captain of Plymouth” which was produced under the direction of Miss Ethel Jones. Our debating team, which won the district championship, was composed entirely of Seniors. Many Seniors are in the two Glee Clubs which have made several public appearances. In Basket Ball, we were represented by Boyd Biggs and John Dustin. Our social affairs were a sleigh ride followed by an oyster supper at Dr. Dillon’s residence, and a Leap Year Valentine Party at Mr. and Mrs. Young’s. The latter event was the best social stunt of our history. The girls made the dates and went after the boys. The evening was spent in stunts appropriate to the occasion, and when we went home at—well, Mr. Doremus said ten o’clock—all felt satisfied that we could not have been more royally entertained, in spite of the fact that someone got the cakes. A complete roll of the class and a full program of the last week of our high school life appears elsewhere, so I will close the history of the Senior class of Auburn High School. —Leora Davis ’16 yi v M i Y i Si ' • Class iRpfh'rtimt C.

Two more years of “cans” and “mays” ’Till the Senior class. Hear their cry, “Not finished. But well begun have we,” Thinks the little “Sophie,” “Would that I were free.” School days! School days! Juniors raise the cry; So strong and full their voices We cannot pass them by. A class of mighty moment, United, brave, serene; They have begun to understand What Schooldays really mean. School days! School days! Do Seniors hold them dear? Watch their eyes at leaving, See the falling tear, Turn an X-ray on each heart, ’Tis almost rent in twain! They envy all, e’en Freshmen. And long, too, to remain. “The elevator is not running. To success; you take the stairs. Be this their motto still Oft they’ll long in future years; For the high school on the hill; The burning heart-aches in their breast They’ll strive against in vain, And sigh, remembering schooldays, “Would they were back again!” —Lucile Randol ’16. 1 I CAR LE T — - -anp -r-� —n c R E E N W iwPnsp1 W, nSFrpr v' w! ■y { Ii W y i Frr. i • ipafr :j,-_ ihiiiimi (EUtas fJrflptjmj It was in the early summer of the year of 1936 and I had been teaching school for twenty years My nerves had been weakened by the continuous strain, so for faithful service and to regain my health, the board decided to reward me with a trip around the world. My first stop, and the one most delightful, was in Colorado. I had received an invitation some time before from my old comrade, Minnie Schroeder, to spend a few weeks on her ranch. I now had an opportunity to accept this invitation. Miss Schroeder met me at the station in her car and in less than hour we were on her ranch. One evening as we sat talking over old times and our friends of High School days, she mentioned that Gwyn-dolyn Connely was then in the United States Senate and that there was talk of nominating him for president on the Republican ticket. I was not surprised to hear this for I had not forgotten the bits of knowledge he used to share with us in American History Class. I had a pleasant visit at Miss Schroeder’s ranch but I was compelled to continue my journey. In Denver while riding through one of the surburbs, I saw a building that attracted my attention. I made inquiries of my driver and learned that it was a hospital for cats, which had been built but a short time before by a wealthy spinster- The driver did not know her name but I was so interested that I made up my mind to go and see the hospital. I dismissed my taxi and climbed the long flight of stairs that led to a most beautiful entrance. As I entered I passed rows of pillows upon each of which lay a cat; cats of all colors, sizes and kinds. Everywhere I looked I could see cats; some were lazily sleeping, others were rolling over and over and playing with each other on the floor. In the superintendent’s office I found a little gray kitten sitting on the desk and behind it a figure that looked strangely familiar. The superintendent was busy when I entered, so I had an opportunity to ponder upon the thought that I had seen the person before. After some time it came to me that this must be Elma Dillon. When she was free I asked if this were not her name, she replied that it was. I gave her my name and expressed my curiosity concerning the hospital. She smiled and explained that there were so many friendless cats in Denver that she felt compelled to establish a home for them. There were no fees charged for the entrance of cats, anyone having a cat they did not want could bring it there. Often times people came and bought cats that were particularly de-sireable. In this manner the business was becoming profitable as well as humane At this time a prospective buyer came in and I departed. As I crossed the street on my way from the hospital. I was nearly run over by a Ford car. Upon my angry prosestations, the chauffeur gave as an excuse for his fast driving that he was making a hurried trip for his employer. Harold Smith, who owned the largest garage in Denver. My next stopping place was in San Francisco, while there I had the pleasure of hearing the Peabody Orchestra, in which Marie Bourke was the leading violinist. With this orchestra were also Pearl Klein and Gladys Mershon- Pearl was the soloist and Gladys the reader of the company. My journey from here was to be through Asia and Europe, so from San Francisco I took a ship for Hong Kong. China. Looking over the list of passengers I discovered three names that I thought I knew. They we- e Professor Boyd Biggs, Rev. Clarence Dawley and Celia Lorance. Later in the day I found Celia standing on the deck, looking out over the ocean. I made myself known to her and we had a nice little chat. She said that she and Clarence were going to Hong Kong and from there into the wilderness of China as missionaries to the cannibals. I next discovered Boyd Biggs. He wore a long black coat, a pair of tortoise shell glasses and his hair was almost white. He had a very intelligent look about him; indeed, I should never have known him had he not been pointed out to me. The awe stricken sailor that drew my attention to him said that he was a noted naturalist that traveled in behalf of the Smithsonian Institution at Washington. Later in the voyage I was talking with Clarence; he said that Edgar Redfern, whom I had almost forgotten, was janitor in a High School in San Francisco. Edgar had been teaching in a little western town, but had heard that this school in San Francisco then wanted a janitor. The wages offered were higher than those he was receiving so he applied and got the position. Before many days we reached China and Celia and Clarence departed to the cannibals. I saw them off, then proceeded with my journey. My next destination was Calcutta. In that city I was much pleased to meet my cousin. Maude Lash. I knew that she was traveling in the east somewhere, taking pictures for exhibition in a New York museum. We went to her room in the hotel and there I noticed a book which I loved so well. It was the old Scarlet and Green Annual of 1916. I picked it up and idly opened it. Dorothy Gagnebin’s was the first picture to catch my eye. I turned to Maude and said. “By the way, Maude where is Dorothy now?” Maude smiled and said. “The last time I heard from her she was happily married to a young business man and was living in Tecumseh, .which has grown to be quite a commercial center, you know?” Turning further, we found the pleasant face of Hazel Williams, and Maude inquired of me concerning 1 or. I told her that the last letter I had received from Hazel came from a coffee plantation in Brazil where she was then living. Maude left Calcutta the next morning and I went far inland to see the Himalaya Mountains. I had the good fortune to join a company of tourists, and we employed a guide to take us up the mountains. He was very well informed on all points that interested us. Growing courious (as old maids will) I asked him his name. “Otto Blinde” he replied- “Otto Blinde” I repeated after him, “Why that sounds more like the nearly forgotten Germany of my girlhood days than Hindoo.” As I contemplated the name and turned it over in my mind, it revived old memories and upon further inquiry I found that my guide was the same Otto Blinde who graduated SCARLET G R pwgpiwp iW? W. frp T| ]r?w| fafap with me long years before. “Yea verily,” thot I, “Our old Class of 1916 has wandered far”—but just how far I was yet to learn. After climbing the Himalayas and getting back to the coast, I continued my journey westward. Most of the way was by water, and of course I saw many places of interest and beauty. At last I reached Italy. Always, I had wanted to see this beautiful picturesque land. I left the ship at Taranto, a seaport town in the south of Italy, and traveled overland by rail to the north. In a little town called Cento in the north of Italy, I found the name of Pearl Bath on the register in the tavern. I looked her up during the day and found that she was in Italy to study the old Romance languages. Much to my regret, in another week I found myself beyond Italy and on my way thru sunny France to Paris. After being lost for three days in this great fashion center, and being curious to know what a modern fashion shop was like I wandered into one operated by two American women, distinguished by Frenchified names. The proprietors proved to be Misses Lila Mayer, designer, and Miss Leora Davis, business manager. My vacation being nearly over, with seeing London I left Europe on a ship bound for New York. I arrived in New York in a weeks time and the same day took a train for the west. When nearly thru the state of New York, I heard a crash, and immediately found myself lying uninjured in the midst of an innocently curious herd of dairy cows. A large portly man with grey beard and bald head came hurrying toward me. I immediately recognized him as John Dustin, for I had seen him but two years before. He ran one of the largest dairy farms in the state of New York. Because of the wreck I missed my railroad connections in a small eastern Ohio town and was forced to spend the night in a small country tavern. Not knowing what to do with myself, in the evening I wandered to the High School building where an entertainment was being given. A short, dark woman with slightly gray hair was lecturing on Farm-Gardening. It was an eloquent lecture and CAR LE T -AND ill ' I P WPPgH !P . fVprr T - 1 n|||||| made me feel as if nothing was quite as pleasant as Farm-Gardening. 1 learned later that the speaker was Mary Mutz who represepted the Department of Agriculture. 1 didn’t wonder at them employing her, for she was a splendid speaker and my mind went back to the discussions which she used to have with Mr. Young in the Agriculture class. Being fatigued and in no especial hurry, I stopped off in Des Moines to see the sights, and to my surprise and delight, the owner of the hotel where I stayed was none other than Warren Lawrence. He told me that he had been in the hotel business ten years and that he found it very profitable. The next day I reached home without further mishap and in the best of health. In the fall I again took up my school work and a few weeks after bought my new fall hat from the millinery store owned and operated by Lucile Randol and Blanche Lippold. , —Lilac F.

This play drew the biggest house that a school affair in Auburn ever drew. The gate receipts amounted to over $200, the profits from which will go toward paying the expense of publishing thi3 year’s Scarlet and Green-Annual. People who are in the habit of attending class plays say that this was the best class play they ever saw, and that our Senior Class far exceeds the ordinary professional troupe in power of interpretation. We do not doubt this a bit, and we ourselves believe that it was the best show ever put on in Auburn. Judging by the applause and the general expression of approbation expressed by the audience, we do not doubt but that we are correct. The play itself was one that lent itself to excellent interpretation. People were found in the class to fit every part, and they studied and worked at their parts till they got the correct dramatic effect. Certainly a share of the glory falls on Mr. Doremus, Mr. Young and Miss Hallie Workman, who worked long and hard to train the cast. The cast of characters was as follows: Mary Anne Simmons_____________________________Blanche Lippold Elaine Jewett____________________________Pearl Bath Trella Jewett________________________Minnie Schroeder Mrs. Henry Tate Kirkland____________Dorothy Gagnebin Her Maid______________________________Lucile Randol Patty Cloverleaf______________________Celia Lorance Mrs. Simmons__________________________Marie Bourke Betsy Scroggins_______________________Hazel Williams Miss Sarah Applegate Slissy---------------Elma Dillon Teddy Farnum_________________________________Clarence Dawley Charlie Mason_______________________________Edgar Redfern Lloyd Henderson________________________Boyd Biggs William Barkley_________________________Gwyndolyn Connely «t Sarralattrralr g mtirr SERMON BEFORE GRADUATING CLASS HIGH SCHOOL ASSEMBLY ROOM, MAY 21, 8 P.

The reception was held in the library where music was furnished by the victrola. A grand march followed to the banquet room while strains of music flowed from behind a leafy arbor. The general scheme of decoration was that of a rustic garden. The old fashioned gate formed the entrance. The walls of the room were banked with evergreens and lilacs which half concealed numerous colored lights. The outdoor effect was heightened by an old-fashioned moss covered well and several flower gardens. Japanese lanterns shed a soft mellow light over the scene. The seventy five guests found their places as designated by their names printed on cards representing the Senior Class pins. Each guest found a copy of the “Junior Progressive” at his plate. This edition, beside containing various advertising matter, weather report, remarkable discoveries, political news and official reports of the Scarlet and Green expenditures; also contained the names of the editorial staff, each member of which responded to a toast.

Class Colors---------------------Pink and Green Class Flower---------------------------Pink Rose Sutttnra X The Junior Class of 1915-16 was exceedingly fortunate in securing Miss Wagner for their sponsor. She has helped a great deal in our Junior affairs especially in our Junior program. We were well represented on the basket ball squad furnishing Culwell, Hughes, Harris and Redmond on the first team and Anderson and Hoagland on the second. Through the efforts of these fellows we secured the Inter-Class Championship Pennant. Undoubtedly, as Seniors next year, we will be champions in all High School affairs. At the beginning of the year we aided very materially to welcome the Freshmen to their new world by the Freshmen Reception given by the upper classes. We had a Masquerade and Leap-Year party in March. The famous Junior Candy-Feeds helped a great deal in keeping the audience cheerful when the Basket Ball team was losing. The Junior talent in other activities was well shown when the class of 1915 selected some of us Sophomores in preference to the present Seniors to help in the Senior play. We also had prominent positions in the operas “Polished Pebbles” and “The Captain of Plymouth.” We have Bath and Harris playing flute and trombone in the High School orchestra. We are He on’v class in the history of Auburn High School that can afford to maintain a class orchestra of its own. The day before the program we had the rally for the purpose of enlivening the ticket sales. This was the first affair of its kind ever attempted by any Junior class and was a real surprise to the seniors that we could give a rally one day, a program the next without repeating anything except by request. It was at this time that the Junior orchestra first made its appearance and surprised the whole school. It made such a hit that we were requested to repeat the numbers on our regular program. We put on the Junior program March 7. It was a complete success. Financially the receipts increased the class fund to more than one hundred dollars. As a literary production it was classed by competent critics as one of the best programs ever put on. The program was as follows: Music-------------------------High School Orchestra “La Czarine” a Russian Muzurka__Louis Ganne Medley of Russian Airs______________Junior Orchestra Reading—“A Sisterly Scheme”_________Maud Clevenger Flute Solo-----------------------------William Bath Chorus---------------------------------Junior Class “A Gipsy Song”-------------Frederic Manley Victrola Concert--------------------Harold Doremus Duet--------------Leah Culwell and Maude Clevenger (a) Gipsy Dance_______________________Liszt (b) Les Angles Roses__________________Wachs Music-------------------------High School Orchestra “Arbor of Dreams”—Waltz_____________Wheeler One Act Farce--------------------------------Junior Class “Ici On Parle Francais” or “The Major’s Mistake” CHARACTERS Mr. Spriggins-----------------------------Lind Mayer Mrs. Spriggins----------------------------Virginia Lint Angelina, daughter of Mr. Spriggins.------Helen Broady Anna Maria, Mr. Spriggin’s Maid_______________Eula Klein Major Rattan___________________________Robert Culwell Mrs. Rattan----------------------------Carmen Rogers Victor Dubois-----------------------------William Bath The Junior-Senior Banquet, which is always considered to be the biggest social event of the year was given May the sixth, in the High School Gymnasium.

I presume that it is needless to say that we have undergone a great transformation since the previous year and have risen from a class of verdant Freshmen to a dignified and spirited class of Sophomores, and I furthermore presume that you, my friends, have realized the same. But do not let me give you the impression that every Freshman class is verdant, or that every Sophomore class is dignified and spirited, for I am only speaking of the class of 1915-16 A. D. As to social events, it can truthfully be said that our pleasure and recreation have been well mixed with our school work. Proof that the Sophomores are determined to go through, no matter what may be the circumstances, was given at the skating party, at which event they even went through the ice, notwithstanding the fact that the water was bitter cold. When we chose our class officers we also chose a very pretty and unique combination of class colors, lavender and cream. About the same time we put several new “yells” in to effect. We can boast that with Marvin Shafer as yell leader we are the best bunch of yellers in the Auburn High School at least. Among our parties there are three that deserve special mention. The “wienie” roast held at Echo parK near the beginning of the school year; the evening spenr at the home of Miss Avis Miller in which we enjoyed a taffy pull, and lastly the skating party which is the mosi, memorable of the three. Last year we told you that you would hear from us later; next year come out and see us in OUR entertainments of the year. Elton Aue ’18.

Everything was new. The old members of the school made the Freshmen feel GREEN but they soon became accustomed to the new surroundings and entered into the work with great expectations and interest. For various reasons a number have quit school leaving the enrollment at the end of the school year only 44. We had our first class meeting the second week of school and elected the following officers: William Chambers_____________________________President Anne Mae Schriefer______________________Vice President Agnes Burger---------------------------------Treasurer The social event of any importance was the reception to the Freshmen given by the upper classes of the Auburn High School. At this time the Freshmen became acquainted with the other members of the school. In Athletics our class has taken an active part. Our basket ball team composed of Elliott, Davis, Fellers, Gilmore, Watkins, Chambers and Anderson defeated both the Sophomores and the Ward Schools. The Class has the honor of having Elliott on the first team, and he shows marked ability at goal shooting. We expect great things of him in this line in the future. Our first class function was a St. Valentine’s party. All but one of the faculty attended and with this merry group everything turned out splendidly. The refreshments and entertainment fitted the occasion. We are proud to say that our class is talented in literary and musical lines. The Declamatory contest showed that Mary Simpson and Harold Davis have a very bright future in this line. We also have two of the High School’s far famed orchestra in our class, Lyman Gilmore and Marguerite Harris. Watch and see our progress for the ensuing year. William Chambers ’19.

The mid-year debating tryouts on the subject of preparedness for war proved to be lively debates. Out of twelve good debators, six were chosen as being especially capable of doing team work. Out of these six, four were chosen for the school debating team. They were Elma Dillon, Harold Smith, Gwyndolyn Connely and Clarence Dawley. The team has taken part in a number of debates, including practice debates preparatory to meeting the other towns in our district. The first debate of the season was held at Auburn with the South High School of Omaha. Auburn lost by ; two to one decision. However, this was merely practice debate and Auburn gained more than she lost. In this debate, Omaha was represented by Louis Wirth, Ralph Goldberg and Bretislau Sedlacek, Auburn by Gwyndolyn Connely, Clarence Dawley and Harold Smith. The next practice debate was held at Lincoln with Temple High School. The Lincoln debators were John Roberts, Irene Schuff and Roma Mitchell. In this debate and all following, the Auburn team was composed of Elma Dillon, Harold Smith and Gwyndolyn Connely. Altho this debate also was lost by a two to one decision, the debators think of their trip with pleasant memories, for the hospitality and good fellowship extended to them was certainly appreciated. These two losses proved to be the stepping stones to victory. Tecumseh’s secession from the league left an uneven number of schools in this district, thus one school was deprived of the first preliminary debate. Lots were drawn at Tecumseh, and it was determined that Auburn would be the school to be advanced into the second series without contest. In the second series, our opponent was Wymore. w ose team had defeated Beatrice. The debate was he’d at Auburn. Auburn supporting the affirmative and win- nuthrafltrru Nebraska (Eliampimt Drbatrr Auburn at last broke thru all barriers and reached the state debate where representatives from twelve districts contend against each other. The member of the squad who was chosen as contestant from this district (The Southeastern) was Gwyndolyn Connely. He was also the winner of the try-outs held at the end of the first semester. His copious fund of general knowledge, clear voice and quick thought always make him a conspicuous figure in a debate. Although he did not win a place in the state debate, he was among the six considered by the judges. He is developing those qualities, which, when amplified by further training and experience, should carry him far on the road to success.

Wymore’s representatives were Jesse Darnell, Leonard Densmore and Gurdon Uplinger. The visiting team was entertained at dinner at the Auburn Hotel by the male members of the debating class. Spurred on by this victory, our team gained further laurels by winning the district championship at Pawnee. This victory was a two to one decision. This debate was also held at home, Auburn again supporting the affirmative. Pawnee attempted an unusual interpretation of the question, but was unsuccessful in upholding it. This victory entitled us to send one of our team to represent Southeast Nebraska in the state contest held at Lincoln May 13. The judges of this debate selected Gwyndolyn Connely as our representative. Altho not winning one of the three first places in the state contest, he creditably represented this school and district. This is the first time an Auburn debating team has won the district championship, and the school is proud to have such a team. Following is a list of the judges who have so ably and satisfactorily judged the debates held at Auburn during the past season. For the Omaha, South High School debate: Superintendent Strickland of Tecumseh Principal Hughes of Brock Mr. Atwater of Beatrice For the Wymore debate: President Wm. Nicholl of Bellevue College Superintendent Cline of Nebraska City Mr. E. E. Carr of Lincoln For the Pawnee debate: Dr. F. H. Wells of Wesleyan University Dr. H. C. House of Peru State Normal Mr. H. W. Hess of the University of Nebraska Auburn High School has been particularly fortunate in public speaking contests this year. At the first of the year a number of persons showed great interest in the declamatory contest. Although the interest later wavered, four persons participated in the local contest,— Maude Clevenger, Harold Davis, Mary Simpson and Marvin Schafer. The winner here, Marvin Shafer was given first place in the oratorical division of the district contest, held at Lincoln. Marvin possesses an unusual III lllllll ’’Hui'fll' !rf tf 1 (j=nrr r voice for one of his age. Under Superintendent Dore-mus’ training he has learned to so control it as to make his rendition of Wendell Phillipps’ oration “Toussaint L ’Ouverture” very effective—in fact so effective that he carried off first place in the State Oratorical Contest which took place at Arnold, Nebraska, on Friday evening, May twelfth. This is the first time that an Auburn contestant has climbed so far in such work, but we hope that his success will encourage others to bring further honors to their Alma Mater. f4 I £ A .

Its willingness to help on all occasions when needed has been greatly appreciated by the athletic teams. It is only hoped that the organization will continue and athletics will have the student body support in the years to follow that it has had in the past year. - CAR LET P—rwANP-, l—n G 13 P P m The Mellida Girls, a club formed in the beginning of the Junior year for social puproses, still forms an active group. In the first two years the girls have had many jolly times together in hikes, informal dinners, holiday celebrations and slumber parties.

Probably the main feature of the year was the celebration of the first anniversary of the Club, held at the pretty country home of Maude Lash on November 28. The car ride out there and back was thoroughly enjoyed by the girls, but was considered as nothing in comparison with the lovely dinners served at Maude’s home. The second week end in February the Mellida girls entertained several Falls City friends. A number of parties were given in their honor. Another interesting event was the mid-winter social spent by the girls and their escorts at the home of El-ma Dillon. It was an evening never to be forgotten. The sea foam failed to become hard, and the guests were obliged to eat it with spoons or their fingers, just as they chose. The fudge, by some queer mistake, was made with cinnamon instead of chocolate, and the taffy actually succeeded in gluing folks’ mouths shut. All these good times have been appreciated all the more because of the fact that after graduation this spring, the group will be separated and it will be impossible to hold meetings frequently as heretofore. •Y 1 M i f i si 2 SCARLET -AND GREEN i. � j ■: Fwpw!?!!1 - u u.-i.-c - ..

The play is to be given the last week of school. We believe that it will take the audience even better than the one of last year. - “CARLET G E E N This organization under the management otf Mr. Young has increased its membership and become more efficient each year. Often the director is unable to be present at the practices but through his splendid leadership the orchestra has developed to such a point that they can go through with their parts without the aid of the instructor. The organization is composed of twenty members of the Juniors and Seniors. The combined efforts of both classes, under the direction of Miss Jones, Musical Instructor, are realized in the shape of a Glee Club of which we are all proud. The public appearances of the club have been well received by their audiences. The benefit of such an organization has been far reaching, not only to those whe have heard them sing, but also to the girls themselves, whose musical abilities have been greatly increased through the careful instruction of Miss Jones. The Chorus Class in a new organization, composed of members of all the classes of the Auburn High School. Musical Instructor, Miss Jones, was the originator of the plan in which all who wished mig’:t devote two hours a week in chorus work. Forty-five members of the school student body joined the class, besides one of the faculty, who merely claimed to be a visitor. Chorus books were purchased and the class was in a short time at work on part music. Such training as this is of great benefit especially to young people, and we believe that inasmuch as the progress was so marked in the short time the class has been together that they will continue in the work next year.

It didn’t look very much like good gold territory, but in the early morning the younger man walked up the ravine a short distance to calculate the prospect of a strike. f As he was climbing a small cliff his feet slipped and he rolled to the bottom, starting a small landslide as he went. He picked himself up, and looking about, saw the glitter of a gold-bearing stratum in the cliff. Calling his partner, l.e staked out a claim naming it “Dog Towm Claim” because of the prairie dog towns near the valley. The claim proved very rich and started a stampede from the neighboring claims up and down the Little Plum river. During the stampede a little village grew up at the mouth of the valley and was called Dog Town after the first claim. After about a year Dog Town was a thriving little city with seven saloons, four pool halls and about one hundred inhabitants. Among other public works the early settlers had laid out a cemetery in a nearby grove, but as yet there had been no occupants. Dog Town was a very healthy city. Eventually citizens of surrounding towns meeting natives of Dog Town at the Red Dog saloon roasted them unmercifully because of their empty cemetery, telling about other towns which had full cemeteries and were looking for suitable cites for new ones. At this slam on their beloved city some suggested getting a corpse to order, but no one had one to contribute. They figured that it would be dangerous to procure one in broad day light, for the sheriff of Mesquite county was an enterprising gentleman, and there might be a surplus of corpses in the vicinity if such a course were followed. Some few evenings later the bojrs were having a social affair in the Red Dog. They were celebrating the anniversary of the founding of their city. “Boys,” said Hank Mayers, “this is a great little town, you bet, but we haven’t got a real cemetery; the town’s too healthy. It’s up to this bunch to find a corpse.” Then Long Bill spoke up. “If there’s no other way to get a corpse, we’ll import one.” The idea met with general approval, and soon every one was canvassed as to whether or not he had a corpse or two to donate. Finally Dutch Henry volunteered the information that he had a cousin back in Ohio that had been buried fifteen years before. “If we can raise the cash, we can bring him out here,” said Henry. So they passed the hat and sent Hank Mayers and Dutch Henry back to Ohio to get the remains. Out at the new cemetery preparations were in progress for the grandest funeral in the country. A gigantic boulder had been brought from the hills and chiseled into the rough semblance of a tombstone. A grave large enough for five coffins had been dug by willing hands. An improvised hearse stood by, the coffin upon it, looking sadly out of place in the rough surroundings. “We’d better see what he looks like,” said Pete, raising the lid; “What was his name, Henry?” But.the question was never answered, for as the gentle reviving breeze of Dog Town blew through the coffin, the corpse sat up and asked for a drink.” When I had recovered sufficiently to recall the story to the Old Timer, he spat again, and ventured, “Yes, as I said before, the air in Dog Town was certainly reviving, for I was the corpse.” —Harold Doremus ’17 -TIWl!?,i’' BSDri FW rinll ilwl -' f rlprttmi0 frmn 3Jantra ICmtr Alima “®hr SCmturluj (Cardinal.” C- The setting was a Kentucky garden owned by the village bachelor, Adam Moss. He lived on the edge of town, and as he expressed it, had nature on one side and the highest animal, man, on the other. He firmly declared that the former was all poetry, the latter all prose. He had but two near neighbors. One, a bachelor, Jacob Mariner, he called his rain crow because the sound of his voice made one think it was going to rain. Jacob was always telling his symptoms and had Some of every known disease. Adam’s other neighbor was a widow, Mrs. Walters. He called her his mocking bird because at the slightest invitation she would favor him with a song, reproducing all the voices of the town in a remarkable manner. When her song was ended, she would always inquire his (Adam’s) symptoms. Adam tried vainly to unite Jacob and Mrs. Walters in marriage but they would never confide in each other, a thing Adam could never understand. Adam lived a peaceful life. During the winter he was not troubled by many visitors, but in the summer many came to see him. Two of the most noted were a doctor and a preacher. The doctor always had fears for Adam’s physical condition when the pears were ripe, while the preacher was greatly concerned over his soul’s salvation at strawberry time. The minister always carried a little work basket, presumably to catch his prayers in, but each day he carried it away filled with berries. Finally Jacob died and 1 is house was sold. Before many days Adam’s mocking bird informed him that he was to have some new neighbors, a family by the name of Cobb. Mr. Moss was much surprised upon receiving several offers from their agent to buy his place at any price. Upon inquiring why they were so anxious to get him out of the neighborhood, he discovered that his mocking bird had been sitting on other people’s porches and naming her objections to new neighbors, as if the objections were Adam’s. CARLET r— AMD iprtpj iid gisi rr-? After his new neighbors had lived in the community several months, Adam found himself in love with the elder Miss Cobb, Georgiana. She talked to him very encouragingly, but always kept him baffled. Some entries from Adam’s diary will show his feelings in the matter: April 26. “It’s no use. Tomorrow night I will go to see Georgiana, and ask her to marry me.” April 28. “Man that is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble. I am not in the least sick, but I am not feeling at all well. I have made a will and left everything to Mrs. Walters. She has been over five times today, and this evening sat by me a long time, holding my hand and smoothing my forehead, and urging me to try a cream poultice—a mustard plaster—a bowl of gruel—a broiled chicken. “I believe Georgiana thinks I’ll ask her again. Not if I live here through eternity! ‘Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” Later he took heart again, as the following extracts show: May 21. “Again I asked Georgiana to be mine. I am a perfect fool about her. But she’s coming my way at last, God bless her!” May 24. “I renewed my suit to Georgiana.” May 27. I besought Georgiana to hear me.” May 28. “For the last time I offered my hand in mar riage to the elder Miss Cobb. Now I am done with her forever. I am no fool.” May 29. “Oh, damn Mrs. Walters!” But again Adam changed his mind and sent Georgiana some heart shaped strawberries with a note telling her to look at the shape of them, that they were all for her and were perishable. The empty dish came back later with a note saying “They are exactly the shape and color of my emery needle bag. I have been polishing my needles in it for many years.” But in the end, as hap-ens in all good stories by reputable authors, the elder Miss Cobb listened to the suit of the ardent Adam Moss, and “they lived happy ever after.” Wilhelmina M.

My companions had brought me part of the way and had then gone on to their several homes. I had only two more blocks to go. Clouds covered the moon and it was dark; everything was so still that my footsteps echoed down the street. Everyone seemed to be in bed and asleep but me. I walked serenely along, humming a gay little tune, and thinking how soon I would be snuggling under the cover. I was almost home when suddenly, between myself and the house, a large white shape appeared. It seemed to be coming straight toward me. I stood rooted to the spot, while an icy chill crept down my spine. My face grew hot and my brain reeled. I could not scream for my voice stuck in my throat. There, just about twenty feet away was home and safety, and here, between myself and comfort was this horrible apparition. It would come just so far and then go back again, as if to mock and torture me. My feet were glued to the spot and I couldn’t run. I closed my eyes and waited to feel its icy fingers touch me. It seemed to me that I had been waiting for ages. Finally I just had to open my eyes again to see where the thing was. While I had my eyes closed the clouds had separated and it was lighter and I could see more clearly. The “thing” was nothing but the reflection of a street light on the house. The wind was making the light swing back and forth and caused the reflection to move. I waited no longer but ran for the house. I did not feel safe, however, until the covers were over my head. It was terrible! If you don’t believe it, just try it yourself and see! —Wilhelmina M.

In September Mr. Young organized an Athletic Association. The following office’s were elected: John Dustin, President; Clarence L. Dawley, Vice President; James Daugherty, Secretary, and Elma Dillon, Treasurer. Plans for an inter-class basket ball tournament were then projected. Mr. Young made out a schedule, matching the Seniors against the Sophomores and the Juniors against the Freshmen, each pair of teams to play for the best two out of three games. It was hoped—and the hope was realized—that such a contest would stimulate interest in Athletics and get more men in training for the coming basket ball season. Following is the schedule as it was played : November 16. Seniors vs. Sophomores. The Seniors won 9 to 7. November 17. Juniors vs. Freshmen. Juniors won 28 to 14. November 23. Seniors vs. Sophomores. Seniors won again, but by a narrower margin. Score 12 to 6. November 27. Juniors vs. Freshmen. Juniors victorious again, 20 to 11. The results of these four games determined that the Juniors and Seniors were to compete for the Championship, so a Championship series was scheduled. December 10. Seniors vs Juniors, 16 to 14. December 17. Seniors vs. Juniors. The bloody game of the whole tournament, one player from each team being removed from the game for using football and pugilistic tactics. Score 40 to 31, in favor of the Juniors. The tournament showed that the Juniors had the best pasket ball team in the school, and they were awarded a pennant, which was not hung in the Assembly room till early in April, due to delays in having it made. The basket ball tournament was the only official interclass athletic event, but there was a lively interest taken in foot ball, but none of the contests took the form of interclass events. SCARLET -AND rMf� Fnp� | [ f-' hPtfWp F 1 PjjFrfp pprr� r T1 (pw -irrsirfi Ifr Z? '4 0 ■A I® k w 7 a The basket ball outlook was very promising this year with Hughes, Dustin, Culwell and Daugherty of last year’s team back for another year, and with such new material as Harris, Biggs and Elliott. Daugherty and Captain Hughes played in their old positions as forwards, with Culwell at center and Elliott in Redfern’s old place as guard. The first game of the season was an out of town game scheduled with Plattsmouth. Our boys went to that place December 17 and were defeated to the tune of 32 to 18. Perhaps the score would have looked better for us, or perhaps it might have been reversed if Plattsmouth had had solid baskets that a stranger could toss into. On January 7 our team went to Nebraska City for the sole purpose of trouncing them well for the defeat they subjected us to last year. However, the purpose failed, for Nebraska City won. 43 to 19. Daugherty, our snappy little forward was easily the star of the occasion, making 15 of our 19 points. Captain Hughes was unable to play and in this we find some solace for our defeat. Our first game at home was with Humboldt, on January 21. Humboldt tried to retrieve the victory we won from her last year, but Auburn scored her third successive victory over her with a score of 49 to 25. Captain Hughes was back in the game and threw nine baskets. On January 28 Coach Stoddard’s boys went to Falls City, and were defeated 24 to 20. The least said about this game the better. But we will say one thing—perhaps we would feel better over the results if we felt that our team had received the same manly treatment they try to accord all comers. Nebraska City came down for their return game February 4. They came full of confidence and pep, but Dustin, Hughes and Culwell proved to them they could not play basket ball in this town, and they were defeated 32 to 12. Culwell was the star of the evening, making 16 points. February 18. This day witnessed the best game of the season. Falls City came to Auburn for their return game. Our boys were out for blood, and during both halves the score never varied more than two points. CAR LE T nw'p -AND C R E E N P[?raP' 1 . I iupprrVj Li ft I ■ i M i J (5) y i � r • When the time was called at the end of the second half, the score stood 28 to 27 in favor of Auburn, with a foul on us. As the rules allow, Falls City was given time to throw the foul, which they did. This tied the score, and it was decided to allow five minutes longer for play. By this time the crowd was on its feet, tense and waiting. During the five minutes of play, Falls City threw one foul and one goal, winning the game 31 to 28. Without a doubt this was the best all-round game seen in Auburn for many years. February 29th Plattsmouth came for the last scheduled game of the season on the home floor. In the afternoon of that day we held a rally and the team entered the evening with the knowledge that the whole school was there and waiting for them to do their duty. The game ended with a score of 28 to 14 in our favor. The largest and most enthusiastic crowd of the season witnessed this game. On February 29th the San Francisco Native Sons played our high school team. They happened to have an open date while in this part of the country, so Mr. Young scheduled a game with them. This team is a team of professionals put out by the State Athletic League of California. During the first half, our regular high school team played against them without aid, but in the second half Coach Stoddard and Howard Ailor took the floor and then it did look like old times. Of course the professionals piled up the score on us, but it was worth it to see their team work, and the dogged perseverance and sheer pluck of our boys. It was worth several quarters and it only cost one to see the whole game. Capt. Hughes and his brave crew went to Omaha March 3 to play the South Side High School. The shoals and other obstructions, including the short turning space on their basket ball floor, caused our boys to run around, and it was the beginning of the second half before they got their bearing on that narrow floor, but during the second half they made quite as many scores as did Omaha, but nevertheless Omaha won, 3G to 15. The South Omaha game finished the regular basket ball season, but Coach Stoddard took the team to the SCARLET AND G R EE riKoFFpl hTFISr W flipper iHhIiiiJ frr: i state tournament at Lincoln from March ninth to eleventh. The tournament is attended by about seventy-five of the representative high schools of the state and attendance at the tournament is the best experience that a team can have. Auburn was matched against Arlington and lost their first and only game on Wednesday, the first day. The score was 18 to 9. However, the boys stayed over one more day and watched how the other teams won their victories and accepted defeats. A summary of the season shows that of eight scheduled games during the season. Auburn won three and lost five. We cannot sing a song of victory, nor will we sing one of lamentation. We will conclude our history of the basket ball season by expressing the appreciation of the team and school to John Stoddard, coach, who made our victories possible and our defeats endurable. Uafir Sail At the time this volume goes to press Captain Red-fern of the base ball team informs us that a good bunch is in training and his expectations for the season are for a winning team. Arrangements are being made for a series of games to be played with the surrounding high schools. We regret very much that we can not print a cut of the team but nevertheless we sincerely hope that they will reach the public without that aid.

He made a very fine speech NOVEMBER SCARLET r— ANO- i C T3. Hsp iPPBrap? w. nf r-totacr' W rwy ny ky.! ill. .illlllllliitlll’S i rTRprnp t 0 m , ‘ h [ {A if The Twenty-fith and sixth— Thanksgiving vacation. The Twenty-ninth— 3:30 A.M. Smith gets home from Y. M. C. A. conference at Lincoln, evidently too homesick to stay over and see the sights. DECEMBER The Third— Found in a Sophomore girl’s notebook:— “To meet, to greet, to love, to part, is the sad, sad fate of a school girl’s heart.” Tibbetspeare. The Thirteenth— Harold Smith buys a Ford. The Twenty-first— Miss Russ says she saw Miss Wagner kick the cat. Too bad—and just before Xmas. JANUARY The Fourth— Sophomore skating party. Dan Lawrence is rewarded for “butting in” on an upper class doin’s by being nearly drowned, along with half a dozen Sophomores. The Fifth— Roller skating in the Gym. The sons (and daughters) of old Auburn alternately rise and set for whole hours. The Seventh— Registration day. Apparently Hughes and Daugherty did not survive the exams. Later we find they went wolf hunting over by Johnson. The Ninth— Sophomore girls make pancakes in Dom. Sc. Hughes backs down when Doremus invites him down to breakfast. The Thirty-first— Senior Sleigh Ride:— Joyfully, gleefully, full on the night Glidingly, smilingly, in the star’s light. Jingling bells and the cheers of the boys Yells of the Seniors with plenty of noise Packed in their bobsleds, so ample and wide. Rode into the country, our joy and pride. FEBRUARY The Second— Freshman Valentine party in the Gym. Faculty present—Good time. The Fourth— Falls City at Auburn.— Hughes loses his basket ball trunks during the game, (don’t blush.) The Fourteenth— Senior Leap Year Va’entine party at Young’s. Most popular man present, Mr. Doremus. The Sixteenth— Night of the Glee Club Concert. Ed Redfern takes a Bath and has a bad cold next day. The Twenty-first— Smith goes to sleep in Assembly. Minnie keeps him from falling on the floor and Miss Boyd wakes him up. Cause unknown. The Twenty-fifth— Basket ball rally. Wm. Chambers suddenly bashful. Marvin Schafer, as usual, proves a shining light. ALSO— Mr. Young finds chew- ing gum an expensive luxury, and makes an address, illustrated on the blackboard, explaining the economic waste of the habit. Since then Johnnie Mehl and others repoi’t increased sales of Piper and Horse Shoe.— Fine speech, Mr. Young. The Twenty-ninth— Sale of Junior program tickets. Everyone discovers whether or not the other fellow has a date. Miss Wagner makes a date with Clarence but he fails to keep it. MARCH .The First— Mrs. Rood, W. C. T. U. worker, talks about booze and tobacco. A most excellent address, but we wonder how many girls took her advice. The Second— Miss Maude Willis reads “In the Vanguard.” Tournament benefit. T’ e Seventh— Junior-Senior Class Program. Features The Junior Orchestra, Bath, esq., director—The Vic-trola Concert, Anderson, Engineer. The Eleventh— B. B. boys return from the tournament, leaving victory behind. One case where “preparedness” didn’t help. T’-e Tenth— Mr. Wilbur of Syracuse here. He says. “He’s only 53” and wants to be our friend. ALSO—The Annual RaPy. Features—the Snake Dance and Song, and Boyd Biggs. The Twenty-third— Grace Corners falls into Mr. Young’s arms. Sh. ---------Don’t tell Mrs. Young. The Twenty-seventh— Spring Vacation begins. Such a relief. APRIL The Third— April Fool’s Day is past, but they are with us still. The Tenth— Play practice is on, full swing. Every Senior is heavy eyed every morning. The Seventeenth— The spring sunshine makes the rad- CAR LE T -AND E E M j npprp ZZZll'im � w tap'r' «pf ishes and lettuce grow, also, germinates the seeds of youthful love affairs—See—Well, any Junior or Sophomore between the ages of thirteen and sixteen. The Twenty-sixth— “Rev.” Flower visits school, and attends American History class. Has a fondness for Civics and a failing for Miss Wagner. The Twenty-seventh— “Rev.” Flower again visits us, and again visist American History class. He is allowed to speak for a few moments. He begins on the constitution, arrives at Walter Scott’s youth and finishes with a eulogy of pure water. We regret we cannot reproduce his speech, but perhaps Miss Wagner could tell you about it. The Twenty-eighth— The Pawnee debate. Can it be true that Auburn has won the district championship debate? Yes, it’s true, and it’s the first time in the history of the school that we have done so. The Twenty-ninth— “Rev.” Flower taken back to the asylum. Don’t cry, Miss Wagner, don’t cry. MAY The First— The Peru Dramatic Club gives “The New Lady of Bantock” for the annual benefit. A very excellent play and well appreciated. The Sixth— The annual Junior-Senior Reception and Banquet. We honestly believe that this was the best affair of its kind ever given. See elsewhere for a complete account of the event. The Tenth— The Senior Class present “The Blossoming of Mary Anne.” Modesty forbids us to give our own opinion of the way the play was presented, but those who saw it, say it was the best Senior play given in the history of the school. Also, we had the largest house a school affair ever drew in Auburn. ALSO—“Young’s Home Economic Punch”. I can make three gallons of good red punch for 20c. D. J. Young. (advertisement) The Twelfth— Marvin Schafer, representing Auburn, and Southeast Nebraska, won the State Oratorical Contest. Auburn is indeed proud of her representatives who have won her such honors this season. Also of Miss Hanna and Mr. Doremus who have coached our declamatory and debating representatives. The Thirteenth— The State Debate. Connely failed to win honors, but nevertheless, came home happy. The Fourteenth— Miss Hanna, Elma Dillon and Connely get home at 3:15 A. M. The Eighteenth— The school, under the direction of Miss Jones, presents the comic opera, “The Captain of Plymouth.” The Nineteenth— The editor-in-chief and one of his deputies take a day off and go fishing down on the Muddy.
