Well does she love her children, but best of all must she lcve those among them who ever labor to make her greater, grander and more beautiful in the eyes of men; and the number who have labored thus, are laboring thus and will labor thus is great. But those among them whose labor will produce the greatest results are they who made the most of their school days, they who put their studies first but still took an active part in the social and athletic life of the school, for from this class are developed the well rounded men and women of the world. To all such scholars, past, present and future, wherever they may be, this book is dedicated. VOLUME XVI GORDON N. WATKINS Editor EARL HENTON {Business Manager ©oart) of QDucatton E. FERNEAU, President DR. E. M. TYLER, Vice-President DR. B. F. LORANCE, Secretary G. E. CODINGTON JOHN HANNA J. M. GILLAN BOOK I Faculty and Classes SUPERINTENDENT S. E. CLARK Mr. Clark has been connected with the Auburn schools for two years. In that time he has introduced into the curriculum several new subjects with a view toward making it more practical. Among these are typewriting and shorthand. These subjects are invaluable to the student who intends to enter the business world. Mr. Clark’s progressiveness has been seen in other lines as well. We hope he will be able to continue in his efforts to make the schools stronger. page seven GEORGE E. HEACOCK Mr. Heacock has been our sponsor for the past year. We feel that we are deeply indebted to him for his untiring labors in our behalf. He has coached our play and censored our Annual. And in all sincerity it may be said that although censors are generally regarded as a nuisance, Mr. Heacock has been an assistance. He also coached the basket ball team and trained the cadets. Few men indeed take the interest in their work that Mr. Heacock does. page eight MADGE BOURNE Miss Bourne is the music instructor of the public schools of Auburn. Through her efforts the many musical organizations of the school have been possible this year. The programs given by the grsde school children under her direction have well demonstrated her ability as an instructor. ELSIE CRAIG This is Miss Craig’s first year as a member of Auburn faculty. She has in that time shown her ability as a Latin instructor and also taken an active part in the life of the school, among other things coaching the Junior play. d a g e nine LOY GOSS Miss Goss has been with us only a year. In that year she has run the Junior class and made history interesting for the Seniors—two things which were thought to be impossible. She could not have done it had it not been for her “pep.” RUTH JOHNSON Miss Johnson teaches the domestic arts, such as sewing and cooking. She takes an active interest in the school, being one of its strongest boosters. page ten 4 ROXIE McGREW Miss McGrew has been associated with the Seniors during our entire four years in High School. We studied mathematics under her our first three years and although a complete mastery of the subject w.s required we feel that the incidental instruction she gave will have an equal value in our life with the mathematical knowledge acquired. JSt- PEARL STEVENSON Miss Stevenson is the English instructor in Auburn High School. She has taken an active interest in each member of the graduating class and done much to inspire us with higher ideals in life. page eleven HAZEL STEWART This is Miss Stewart’s first year in Auburn. She is teaching the commercial subjects. The ability of her pupils speaks well for her efficiency as a teacher. page twelve i’muins KENTON ANDERSON “Kay.” He could discuss everything and disgust everybody.

We have three new members, Zelda Redding, Fern Stanley and Gilbert A rgabright. A few weeks after the beginning of school Miss Goss was appointed our sponsor and our first meeting was held. We elected as our officers: President................................................Pell Broadv Vice President....................................Gilbert Argabright Secretary and Treasurer.................................Zelda Redding Homer Storms was elected class editor but unfortunately he received a broken wrist which resulted in his resignation. Mildred Norton was then elected in his place. About the middle of the first semester Gilbert Argabright quit school and went to work on a farm. Leland Coryell was elected vice president in his place. The first social event was the usual Freshman reception which was indeed very successful ( ?)• We then enjoyed (?) a six weeks vacation. We came back to work with new vigor and vim (as all the “Hu” patients can realize.) We have unlimited talent among the students of our class. )ur musical talent is especially fine. Helen Carman who is one of the best singers in A. H. S. is a Junior. Ruth Codington is an accomplished pianist. One member of the class, James Clarke, plays in the orchestra. The Boys H. S. Quartette, three of which are Juniors, is composed of Homer Storms, Howard Mutz, Pell Broadv and Harold Mutz. This organization has won its fame at its many appearances before tin assembly and also at many outside functions. It is needless to mention tin popularity this quartette has gained. Our oral English class has produced speakers who have won honor by their talks at different times on the war work drives and also at basket ball rallies, etc. During the Fourth Liberty Loan drive we had talks by Pearl Guilliatt, Bessie Combs and Pearl Doss and during the Thrift Stamp Drive we had talks by Rilev Kite, Pell Broady and Mildred Norton. We have one member of our class on tbe basket ball team, Howard Mutz, and several on the second team. We are very proud of tin fact that we are tin only class in the history of A. H. S. that has secured its class pins and rings while Juniors. page thirty Three of the officers of the Y. W. C. A.

Dean Maver Other Junior members are: Opal Davis Zelda Redding Norma Conner Bessie Combs Erma Bantz Pearl Doss Edith Thomas Deva Armstrong Laura Schriefer Pearl Guilliatt The Junior play “The New Co-ed” was given April 11, at the Rex theater. It was a complete success and a larger crowd could not have been accommodated. The net proceeds were $167.53 which is more than twice as much as any previous Junior class has made. The cast of characters was: Letty Willis, a new student.................................... Zelda Redding Madge Stevens, Letty’s friend and champion...................

Glover Milam Students..........................Minnie Klein, Norma Conner, Harold Mutz, Fern Stanley, Marie Rowen, Riley Kite, Ormond Kelligar, Verne Culwell. We owe the success of the play to our coach, Miss Craig, who voluntarily gave her time to training us. The play cast and our coach, Miss Craig, enjoyed a weinie roast at Prospect, April 21, and got home without being soaked which is generally the memorable event of a weinie roast. The greatest social event of the year was tin Junior-Senior banquet given by the Juniors at the High School gymnasium at 7:00 o’clock on May 17, 1919. The springtime always finds the Juniors a very important set of people. Everyone was busy searching the library to find whether they must eat with forks or spoons and whether they should talk much or little. The Seniors of course knew all of these things and we Juniors must make it appear as though we did. The guests were received in the library and then followed the grand march to the banquet room where music was furnished by an excellent orchestra, which played during the evening. The general scheme of decoration was that of a roof garden. Stars were suspended from the ceiling which heightened the outdoor effect, and the walls were banked with ferns and flowers. page thirty-one The guests were seated at small tables. Covers were laid for four at each table. The center pieces were maypoles which were wound with ribbons of both class colors. Each guest found a “kewpie” at his place. Poll Broady, the toast master, introduced the toast list as follows: Toasts “All the World’s a Stage.” Curtain Raiser—Pell Broady Leading Lady.........................Ina Jones, Pres. Senior Class Comedy or Tragedy.................................Zelda Redding Between Acts....................................William Chambers Prompter..................... G. E.

Lorance, Secretary Board of Education Music was given between courses as follows: Music Piano Solo...................................................Ruth Codington Vocal Solo...........................................Helen Carman Violin Solo ................................ Miss Ruth Kelligar The most important bit of news in this issue is the menu which was: Menu Fruit Cocktail Chicken a la King Potatoes French Peas In Patties Rolls Pineapple Salad Saratoga Wafers Pickles Olives Neapolitan Ice Cream Cake Assorted Mints Coffee —Mildred Norton ’20. pa ire thirty-two page thirty-four @opljomorcs ♦ ♦ HISTORY OF SOPHOMORE CLASS September thirtieth found us, the Class of 1921, organizing into a class for the Sophomore year. At this time we elected Alice Martin, president; Lloyd Lippold, vice president; Emelyn Avey, secretary-treasurer, and chose for our class colors pink and green. At the first of the year the upperclassmen gave the Freshman reception and I can truthfully say no freshman suffered, except for indigestion, which is not our fault. For the rest of the year we were so busy with our studies that not until April 21, were we tempted to throw off this cloak of studiousness and enter into the social life of the school. Then, however, we dug up a costume out of the old brown trunk in the attic and had a George and Martha Washington party7. We went in a body to the basket ball game and then were received at Mount Vernon (the library) by George and Martha Washington. We played games and later were served refreshments by two temporary negroes. Miss Stevenson did much to make the evening a pleasant one and we assure her we missed her while she was washing dishes. May 29, 1919, will end a very successful school year for tin Sophomores and we hope that with the aid of the faculty we shall be able to make the remaining school years more so. William Wulf. L.

Vice President Secretary Treasurer . .. . .. Rex Gage ... Lois Ord Mary Sellers Mona Black At the beginning of this year fifty-two students registered for the freshman course. Since then one new pupil has entered and six have dropped out, still leaving a class so large that it must be divided into two sections. We take active part in the athletics. The boys are members of the second basket ball team and have showed their ability in games with Brownville, Stella and Peru High School. Although the team was defeated once or twice, the future prospects of the Auburn basket ball team look promising. Our class is also represented in the girls’ basket ball team and we are proud to say that our side has won in all games played so far. Most of our class are members of tin physical education class and you may be sure we find it a rest after an hour of Latin translation or a period of Algebra problems. Our class is also greatly interested in music. We constitute one half of the chorus, almost half of the orchestra and have the only sextette in the school. Though our minds are full of study we find time for tin social part of life. ()ur Christmas party was a grand success except for the strange disappearance of a part of our refreshments. Their place was filled, however, after a visit to the bakery, so our evening was not spoiled after all. Another good time was tin Freshman reception, given in our honor the first of the year. It is safe to say it will linger in our minds orever. Toward the last of the year we had a weiner roast in honor of the coming spring. You can guess what a good time we had. The girls of the Freshman class wish to express their sincere hope that page thirty-nine the boys of our class enjoyed their stag party, and we give them permission to have as many more as they like. In closing we wish to thank the faculty for their kind consideration for us during the year and we hope next year to be able to show them that we can be good if choose to do so.

Ord Wrightsman Gil lan page forty page forty-two Gaticts ♦ ♦ • The cadet company of our Auburn High school was organized mainly for the purpose of aiding Uncle Sam in the production of his future warriors. All over the United States there sprung into existence what is known as the H. S. V. U. S. and in order to keep up with the times Auburn had to fall in line with an institution of this kind. At the first roll call there were 8 squads and 3 officers reported for duty and from this group there has developed our present company which is new ccmposed of 6 squads, 1 captain, 2 lieutenants and 4 sergeants as follows: C ptain Storms, First Lieutenant Boyd, Second Lieutenant Broady, Sergts. Coryell, Gilmore, Anderson and Milam. As the Chinese discovered years ago it takes more than an unorganized group of men to complete any work of destruction and in order to make the H. S. V. U. S. an efficient organization it has been the purpose of the officers in command to develop a thorough calisthenic program. This program was conducive to a great many discoveries, among them, the Latisimus Dorsi, Pectoralis Major and Soleus. Much of the time throughout the year was taken up by military drill consisting of squad movements and manual of arms. At the beginning of the year the company reported for drill and exercise work every night but owing to the “flu” situation delaying the school program, the time for drill was limited to twice each week. In the spring there were several little trips taken which aided in the limbering up of the old joints grown stiff over winter. After the group of officers had qualified for their respective positions there come into existence what was known as the officers’ school which was invaluable to the officers. Our loyal commandant Principal G. E. Heacock spent many a weary hour vainly endeavoring to make us see positions and movements as we should, and in trying to increase our military efficiency. A system of demerits was instituted for absence, misconduct and disobedience, which proved to be very helpful in making us see a little, more clearly the necessity of certain commands and requests. The forming of pyramids was always the source of a great deal of pleasure (speaking of it from the observer’s standpoint) and many of the fellows still persist in claiming that it had some very bad effects on them, both mentally and physically; however, it was very good exercise. Our captain appointed an orderly who has relieved him of much strain and who has demonstrated his ability to forget orders while enroute to different platoons scattered at times throughout the city. At the beginning of the year many of the fellows purchased cadet suits which have been a great saving on our dress suits especially when we were ordered to lie down in a ditch for a half hour to await a forward rush toward the enemy. Our first engagement was fought on the gymnasium floor when during a forward rush one man was knocked out and a few others were slightly injured. However, due to the quick work of our ambulance corps he was quickly transported to our base hospital where his wounds were dressed and a few days ago he reported for duty and apparently is ready for the next attack. A few little incidents of this kind have helped to sprinkle a bit of mirth with the more serious, and looking at our achievements for the year 1919, we wish to pronounce it a success and with kind regards toward our instructor we wish him even better luck with the company of 1920. page fortv-thre.e GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASS Qtrls’ Qbpstcal Qducatton • • Physical training for girls was introduced this year for the first time. Over forty girls are enrolled and train twice a week under the instruction of Miss Stewart and Miss (loss. The work consists of marching, folk dancing, Swedish floor exercises and games. The girls have provided themselves with the regulation suits and are receiving great benefit from the work. It is hoped this work will continue next year with every girl participating and with more equipment than this year.

Anderson has a record of playing every game but one in the two years of service. Harold Davis, captain of the Auburn High School team, has played the position of forward for the last three years. Davis is noted for his large number of goals, always succeeding in running a large score on the opposing team. Paul Elliot, has been a member of the basketball team of the Auburn High School for the last four years. He played guard the first year and center the last three. He was also elected captain his second and third years of service. Lyman Gilmore has played on the basketball team two years in which he has played the positions of substitute center and guard in his first year of service, and the positions of guard and then center in his second year page fortv-seven Gordon Watkins has not played many games this year but it was plainly seen when he did play that he played his position well. Watkins played the position of substitute guard and substitute forward. Howard Mutz, guard on the Auburn basketball team, has played for the last two years. Mutz is noted for his guarding and the number of goals he always gets. Mutz will be back again next year and much is to be expected from him. Mr. Heacock has been with us just one year, but his efficiency as a coach has been shown throughout the basketball season. The players have shown good team work during the entire season which is largely due to the coach. Charles Rogge played substitute guard last year and a regular guard this year. Rogge is one of those consistent, steady players who male for efficient team work. page forty-eight ©asfect ©all ■ ■ Basketball has been supported with much enthusiasm throughout this school term. At the first of the year a game was scheduled between two picked teams, the Invincible and the All Stars, in which the Invincibles won by a large score. After the game a basket supper was given in the gym to secure funds to buy suits and the necessary equipment for the basketball team. A meeting was called of all the boys interested in basketball and about twenty-five boys came out to make the first and second teams. The first team included five of the old men, Captain Harold Davis, and Kenton Anderson as forwards, Howard Mutz and Lyman Gilmore as guards, Paul Elliott as center. The substitutes were Charles Rogge as guard and Gordon Watkins as forward. Wilbur Maclay and Glen Frary were substitutes later in the season. Our coach, Mr. Heacock, succeeded in scheduling games with many of the towns around Auburn who we supposed would have the best teams. A few of the games had to be canceled because of sickness in the other towns. Our first game was to be played at Havelock, who in former years had succeeded in having a good team and beating Auburn the year before on our own floor, so the team expected and met with a hard game. Auburn was beaten by a score of 23 to 29. After the game they were invited up to the Havelock assembly room where they were entertained and treated. The second game was played on the home floor with Syracuse, December 27, the team having been worked into good shape by this time and decided that they would not let Syracuse carry home the honors and they defeated them by the large score of, Syracuse 17, Auburn 87. The next game was to be played at Falls City, but due to the fact that their lights were out, they decided to play at Auburn. On January 3, they came rolling in to Auburn with about one hundred boosters, but before the game was over they began to wish they had left them at home as that many could spred the story too fast. They took home with them a score of, Auburn 32, Fqlls City 13. On the next day, January 4, the team went to Beatrice to play a game which they realized would be one of the hardest of the season and they prepared themselves for a hard game. But partly due to the game of the night before they were beaten 9 to 19. Davis knocked his arm out of place and was out of the next few games. The team was also taken to supper and to the show by the Beatrice team. They had now lost twice and won twice and so as Nebraska City came rolling into Auburn on January 10, with a large bunch of fellows, Auburn decided to show them that it took science to play basketball, and they did, beating them 38 to 6. On January 17, the team went to Peru to play Peru Normal The first half the referee called enough fouls on Auburn to keep the Normal up with them just throwing fouls, which seemed rather queer since their men were about twice as big as Auburn and they were all personal fouls. But the second half they only succeeded in getting one goal and Auburn five. Auburn beating them 22 to 11. Beatrice arrived in Auburn, January 25, to play a return game. Both teams were in trim and a good game was expected as both teams were determined. The first half the score stood 8 and 8. Then Auburn came back strong and wen 30 to 15. Elliot hurt his ankle in the game and was out of the next few games. In return for the kindness they had shown the Auburn team, they were given a reception. The next Monday the page forty-nine team was given a supper by Mrs. Gilmore January 27, and an oyster feed by Mr. Heacock on the following Wednesday. On January 31, Auburn went to Nebraska City with a large crowd of boosters. The team again came home with flying colors. The score being Auburn 15, and Nebraska City 11. Harold Davis got his nose broken in the fight for victory and was again out of the game. The team took the train up to Plattsmouth February 7, and considering the great odds under which they labored it was a very close game. Davis had a broken nose, Elliot had his ankle badly sprained and Anderson had his knee caps badly bruised. But under these odds Plattsmouth was beaten the last half, although in the end Auburn had 13 to Plattsmouth’s 22. Now that the team was all back in shape ready for the worst, they boarded the train for Syracuse, February 14, and got as far as Dunbar when they found the other train had left them. They then visited the Dunbar High School and strange as it may seem it is said that Anderson and Mutz recited in a History class. They then caught a freight train to Syracuse where they won the game 49 to 29. One of the fastest games of the season was seen on the Auburn floor February 21, as Plattsmouth came rolling into Auburn to play a return game. But it was readily seen that Plattsmouth was outclassed from the first, the score standing 4 to 21 in favor of Auburn at the end of the first half and 17 to 35 at the end of the game. Havelock arrived in Auburn to play a return game February 28. A fast game was played, the score standing 6 to 7 at the end of the first half. Then as Auburn came back with her usual pep the score was more than doubled, being, Auburn 31 and Havelock 13. A girls’ game was also played in which the Sophomores and Freshmen won from the Juniors and Seniors by a score of 22 to 10. March 3, Peru Normal arrived in Auburn to play a return game. Although the team was good, they were badly beaten from the start. The score being, Auburn 51 and Peru Normal 10. Dawson had played but a few games this season, but a game was scheduled as they had won most of their games and they wanted a game. They were badly outclassed from the start, being beaten 66 to 23. Our next game was to be played at the tournament and so the team began to prepare themselves for it. They were placed in B class and were to meet Osceola the first day. The first game was won by fast playing, and the team was given hope for a good ending. The next day they faced Ravenna, but hard luck stared our team in the face and the game was lost 4 to 24. This ended Auburn’s career in basket ball for this season but they had the good record of having beaten every team they played, with exception of Ravenna. page fifty Orchestra The orchestra is one of the main musical organizations in the High School, and is composed of members from all of the classes. The orchestra is unusually large this year s'nee new members have joined it, especially some of the Freshmen class. It has done very successful work due largely to the persistent and thorough drill which it received under Miss Madge Bourne, our music supervisor. The orchestra made its first appearance at the Beatrice reception. Since then they have played at several different functions. It is composed of the following members: Ruth Kelligar, Alice Martin, Lois Ord, James Clarke, Gerald Simpson.............Violins Lyman Gilmore ...................................................................

They studied selections from the Laurel Song Series and sang for the first time this year in public at the Christmas program, rendering about six songs. The music was very fitting to the Christmas play which was put on by the children of the grade school. Following are the characters of the play: Miss Bessie Lawrence—The mother. George and Lewelyn Mayer, Hulda Dustin and Avis Wiser—The children. William Chambers—Santa Claus. Bruce Hay—The sandman. This little play was very interesting and very well presented by the characters. The second and third grade of the Athens school and the fourth grade of Antioch school also rendered a few songs which were enjoyed very much. £ cl)ool £©ale £luartett • • At the beginning of the school year a boys quartette was organized composed of the following persons: Howard Mutz Harold Mutz.. Pell Broady . Homer Storms . First Tenor Second Tenor .... Baritone ........ Bass The first time they sang was at George Stuff’s funeral. Later they sang at a social which was given at the Methodist church. Next they sang at Bratton Union for the purpose of advertising the Junior play. They next appeared at the High School auditorium at a rally for the same purpose. Lastly they appeared at the Junior play which was given at the Rex Theatre, April 11. These boys all have excellent voices which blend to good effect and we hope they will continue their singing. assembly Staging • • The assembly singing was dropped for the greater part of the year on account of having to make up time which was lost during the influenza epidemic. Toward the close of the year, assembly singing was again resumed. It is hoped that in the years to come this important part of our school work will be continued. The students are not only benefited by assembly singing but it furnishes them recreation and pleasure as well. d a e e fiftv-threp £@u0tc Appreciation Cla00 • • The class in music appreciation is unusually large this year, people are coming more and more to appreciate the value of music. In the appreciation class the student learns how to appreciate good music and how to enjoy it. He also learns different musical forms. The first part of the year the class studied Folk music. Among the musical forms studied are: Popular song, ballad, aria and art song. Next came the study of opera. Here they learned the stories connected with different operas. The Victrola was used to familiarize the student with the music of the particular opera studied. Then came the study of oratorios; this was made very interesting by illustrating it with the Victrola. National music was taken up next. Every nation has its own music suited to the peculiarities and customs of the people the country in which they live. The class became familiar with music of different nations.. The study of orchestra, its instruments and literature were next studied. Then lastly followed the subject—of musical criticism, which was found to be of the result of intelligent listening. It is hoped that this class will increase in size in the future and continue in the good work that they have began.

C. Noe In spite of the vacation brought on by the influenza epidemic the children of the Antioch School are making much progress in their studies and in the different clubs. Among these clubs are the Gardening, Sewing and Chicken-Raising Clubs. Most of the children of eligible age joined one of these clubs. They have purchased a victrola of which they are justly proud. Part of the money was raised by selling papers which they collected, and the rest was raised by private subscriptions of pupils and citizens. The upper grades have organized a girls’ basket ball team and the boys’ base ball team. These teams meet after school and have contests between the different grades. Wm. Boyd teaches manual training to the seventh and eighth grade boys, while Mrs. Nye and Miss McGrew teach sewing to the girls. The girls have their products on display every Saturday afternoon at Mr. Cline’s Drug store. The social activities consist of parties held in the different rooms. A party at the H. S. gymnasium, at which Miss Lippold’s and Miss Clevenger’s rooms were present, and a party given by the H. S. faculty for the grade teachers at the High School library. During the winter the children were examined every other day by Mrs. Hibbens, a a trained nurse from Omaha. A very pleasing program was given at the High School at Christmas time by the different grades. The first five grades of the Antioch and Athens Schools gave a May-Day program at the High School, May 9. This was supervised by Miss Bourne, who is training the children very carefully. The program was as follows: Flower Songs—Miss Pasco’s, Miss Anderson’s, Miss Clevenger’s, and Miss Millie Webber’s grades. Bird Songs—Miss Lawrence’s and Miss Moore’s rooms. Folk Dances—Miss Hastie’s and Miss Kelligar’s rooms. Folk Dances and Games—Miss Dollarhide’s grades. May Pole Drill—Antioch eighth grade girls. A pole was set up in the hall for the children to practice their May-Pole Dance. Someone asked what it was for and Miss Kelligar said: “The eighth graders are go- ing to have a telephone pole dance.” Next question, “Are Mrs. Nye and Mr. Noe going to dance together?” Miss Lippold—“John, tell me what a hypocrite is?” John—“Yes ma’am. It’s a boy that comes to school with a smile on his face.” While discussing the use of the tonsils and whether or not they should be removed: Mary, aged 8, in Miss Kelligar’s room—“Oh, I know what tonsils are for, they’re where your Sunday dinner goes.” page sixty Sirens • • Olive Pasco Mary Moore Elsie Dollarhide Maude Clevenger Enrollment—144 TEACHERS Dillie Webber Miss Bertha Johnston, Principal Madge Bourne (Music) Janitor, W.

About twenty-nine pupils have enrolled for war gardening, pig, poultry and rabbit raising, cooking, canning, or sewing. Some have entered even three classes. Sixteen girls have responded to the Red Cross call for knitters. At Christmas, the 8th grade made twenty-two books of stories and jokes to be sent by the Red Cross to soldiers in hospitals. The seventh and eighth grade girls are doing excellent work in the sewing class, making aprons, breakfast caps, dresser scarfs, and other articles uso'ul in the home. The manual training boys from the same grades are turning out some very nice articles in woodwork also. The classes have had the usual parties and the fifth and sixth grades enjoyed especially one in which they joined the sixth grade from Antioch in the High School gymnasium for a Valentine party. The pupils have enjoyed the school victrola which they earned this year. Besides the records which their fund bought, Mark Ernst donated four more, Bruce Bellas twelve, and Mrs. Voline a number of especially nice ones. The program given by the first grades of Antioch and Athens is mentioned in the Antioch items. language THE DOG AND THE BEE There was a great big dog, With a head upon his toes.

One day, growing tired of his pet hen, he went into the kitchen. There on the table was a pan of something. Rastus said, “I’d like to know what that is.’’ So he went up to the table and when he saw what it was he chuckled. “Well now, ain’t that nice, mammy made cake, I heard Mis’ Pearson tell her to, and here’s the frostin’. I guess it’d been some cake there’s so much frostin’, ” and Rastus picking up the pan and taking a large spoon sneaked out into the yard. That night mammy seeing he did not appear, finally found him in the bedroom. “Oh mammy,” he wailed, “Can’t you do something for me? I ate too much.” “Ate too much,” exclaimed his mammy. “Why you never ate a mite of supper.” “I mean that frostin’ for Mis’ Pearson’s cake. My I’m sorry I ate it now,” and Rastus sighed. “Mis’ Pearson’s frostin’!” exclaimed mammy, then a stern look came on her black face, “Why you naughty boy, you’ve eaten my starch.” And if you think Rastus stole frosting after that you’re mistaken. page sixty-two In presenting to you this volume of the Scarlet and Green we have no apologies to offer. We have attempted to form a brief review of this years work in Auburn High School. Our one hope is that in future years it may serve to recall the friendships, the pleasures and the interesting incidents of which our school life consisted. The work of compiling and editing this Annual has not been all jov; however, we leave our task with regret because this will be our last connection with any enterprise of the school. We have departed somewhat from the form of previous Annuals in an effort to make tin book more original. If we have erred we regret it. We wish to thank all who contributed literature or snapshots for whether or not their contributions were published, it is only by selection from many that the best can be obtained. And now in closing we feel that our thoughts are best expressed in the lines by the editor of tin 1908 “Badger,” University of Wisconsin. “With faces grim, with eyes grown dim, With fingers all crippled and sore, We write these lines, turn down our steins And close the sanctum door. We’ve worked like mad for every ad, From air compressors to pills; We’ve done our best—Heaven give us rest And cash to pay the hills.” Daere sixtv-three (JORDON N.

N. Watkins. Glass Ejristorp At nine o’clock on the morning of September 6, 1915, the Senior ship 1919 was safely launched and started on its journey. It was started under the leadership of Miss McGrew as captain. Her able officers were William Chambers, Anna Mae Schriefer and Agnes Burger. There were sixty passengers enrolled and after a week or two on a stormy sea of education we began to enjoy our trip very much. The ship continued to sail until it stopped for a night at the dear old port A. 11. S. gym where we were given a reception by the natives who were called Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. We had a very enjoyable evening and all scrambled aboard in time to start with the ship on the following morning. The voyage was very calm for the next few weeks hut on the night of Feb. 14, we came on deck for a party. We were well entertained on our voyage for we had a number of athletes and musicians with us. The smooth sailing was frequently interrupted by storms but none of these proved very serious. The ship safely anchored on May 2(5, 191(5, after its many storms. After three months sight seeing the ship again pulled out of port with Miss Russ on the bridge giving commands. The captain’s capable officers were Lyman Gilmore, Louise McCrory and Mabel Holman. After several months of smooth sailing we went on deck one cold and stormy night in February and celebrated by having a party. The ship sailed successfully over tin reefs and breakers of the semester exams and made its next stop in May 1916 at the island of Glenrock page sixty-nir.e where everyone indulged in a picnic and when it began to grow dark a horror seized the party for we feared that some of the passengers had been lost but when daylight dawned all were present. One balmy day near tin1 end of May the ship anchored for its second vacation. September again found the ship with sails set. The ambitious and competent Miss Wagner, acted as captain. The captain had as her officers the able persons Paul Elliott, Agnes Burger and Gladys Sellers. In the early part of October we were stranded on an island for the night and we met some friends here and aided them in giving the Freshman reception. When we arrived in November at a distant land, we began to explore the famous and widely noted “Howe’s Pasture.” While wandering around in tin1 jungles we became very hungry and stopped for a weinie roast. Before we had reached our ship we were overtaken by a storm but everyone managed to get on board in time to start on our voyage the following morning. February 13 we thought we would help some of our friends have an enjoyable time for a few hours and indulged in a slouch day but as we started on shore we were met by two officers and sent back. Things began to grow dull and on the night of April 15 we anchored at the A. H. S. gym for a few hours where we presented to the inhabitants of the country tin “American Flag,” one of the finest and most patriotic plays that has ever been staged. We sailed on smoothly until May 11, when we heard that the old battered ship of 1918, was going to anchor soon for the last time. In remembrance of their well meant kindness we invited them to a banquet under the beams of the smiling moon. On May 17 we anchored off the coast of Brissey’s Slaughter yard and everyone went ashore and enjoyed a picnic with the natives. The old ship was again anchored on May 25 for another three months rest. When September 9, 1918, rolled around the old ship started out to sea with twenty-nine weather beaten voyagers who had sailed with the ship from her infancy and nine who had in later years cast their lot with the good vessel. The last trip ever to be made by the ship was captained by Mr. lleacock and with his efficient officers, Ina Jones, Mary Combs and Minnie Zabel. We were a happy lot. We made our first stop in the early part ol October when we helped the Freshmen get acouainted with the other membrs of the A. H. S. While on shore for a few hours a “flu” germ page seventy was turned loose among; the crowd and on the following Sunday the majority of the passengers took the “flu” and we were forced to stay in anchor from Oct. 11 until Nov. 25. The ship of 1020 having heard a rumor to the effect that the ship of 1919 would soon complete its voyage upon tin high seas of education, invited us to a banquet on Saturday night, May 17, which we gladly accepted. On Wednesday night, May 28, we again anchored. This time at the Maclay opera house for the purpose of showing the people of that com munity “Why Smith Left Home.” We still have several more weeks before our pleasant voyage is ended and we believe that the best of our voyage is yet to come. If we have a few more weeks of smooth sailing our much battered and weather beaten ship expects to anchor on Friday night May 30,1919. It has been resolved that the ship shall never again leave Port A. H. S. but be left there in memory of the thirty-four passengers who were so successful on tin long and tedious voyage of four years. —Mabel E. Holman ’19. Class Qbropljecp It happened in the early spring in the year of 1930, that I had grown extremely wealthy, and was sitting in my private library in New York, playing with a little white spitz dog, when the mail carrier came with a letter. I took tin letter, tore it open, and at once noticed that it was an invitation. By this time 1 grew very anxious and as I hastily glanced over it 1 noticed “.Jodry and Guilliatt.” Now I read it more carefully and sure enough to my surprise I found it to be an invitation to Amber Jodry’s and Glenn Guilliatt’s wedding. Stating that they would be at home in Little Rock Arkansas after July 1, 1930. Now this started me to thinking of my old classmates of 1919. Could I acept the invitation, or could I not ? Possibly many of unfriends would be there, some of whom I had not seen since the day of graduation. Yes, I would accept it. How 1 hastened to get my belongings together and start on the 3:45 train, not having time to do my shopping before starting, I decid- page seventy-one ed to do tills at Harrisburg, Pa., as I would have to wait there five hours for my next train. As luck was with me, I caught the train O. K. and reached Harrisburg at 6:30 the next morning. Being ready for my breakfast, I stepped up to the lunch counter in the depot and as the girl peeped from around the coffee urn, 1 pondered and thought this face seemed strangely familiar. Then L asked her name and she said it was Rosa Schellen-berg. No wonder the coffee was so good for 1 remembered how famously Rosa worked in the domestic science class at A. H. S. As 1 ate my sandwich, we had quite a chat. She pointed a cop out to me standing at one corner of the room, saying that he was Kenton Anderson. This was astonishing to me for he had grown so tall and broad that he looked like a real man. Rosa informed me that the men were on a street car strike but that the women were taking their places. So 1 hastened on, and as the car pulled up I saw that the woman engineering it was none other than Pearle Erisman. 1 was not at all surprised, remembering how well she ran a Ford to school and surely a street car would be no worse than a Ford. At length 1 reached the finest millinery store in the city which was owned and operated by Nildred Mills and Minna Zabel. After making my purchases 1 traveled onward. As we were approaching the next station in came the porter and yelled out “Bridgeport.” It seemed that I had heard that voice before and looking up, my eyes fell upon William Boyd. My next stop was at Princeton, Kentucky, a town of about 450. As I was passing down main street 1 noticed the store with the advertisement “Gilmore Co., The Home of the Jew.” My curiosity was aroused and upon entering found it to be Lyman. Upon inquiry I found that he had been disappointed in love and had come out here to live and die an old bachelor. He said the last he had heard from Leah Carr—once long ago his best friend—was that she was working in a ten cent store in Chicago. Now upon my arriving in Little Rock who should meet the train, but Mary Simjjson and Gladys Pague. Mary was state superintendent and Gladys governess at the state capitol. The time came for the wedding and as tin Mormon minister came forth to tie the bowknot, I remembered that it was our own Earl Henton. Having completed my visit there and being so close to my old stamping grounds I decided to see old Auburn again. So I journeyed on- page seventy-two ward, my next stop being at Kansas City, Kansas. Here 1 boarded at the Grand Central hotel which was owned by Agnes Burger and Juanita Gage, both having decided to live and die old maids—as they always were man haters. Now as 1 was this near Auburn 1 became anxious. The only stop which I made was at Howe, a great commercial center of about 350. Here 1 visited with Mary Combs who had been bookkeeper and stenographer for ten years for E. .). Clarke Co., the most reliable firm of Howe. Another important department store was tin one which had the advertisement “Peanuts and Mints a Specialty.” Upon my entering 1 found it to be owned by no other persons than Harold Davis and wife Edith Neal Davis. Then how well 1 remembered when Harold and Edith sat on the front row in History 12 and ate mints. Not at all astonishing to know that they had chosen this career. This of course brought back old memories again. And as my conversation went on with Harold and Edith, I asked them to tell me of 1919 class members whom they knew about. They replied that Marguerite Harris and her “Kite” had decided not to fly about as they used to, but that they were cozily settled on a nice little stock farm near Bracken. “And, too, Charles Rogge gave a ten cent lecture here last night on ‘Farming Without Work,’ lecturing being his profession,” Edith said. Upon arriving at Auburn I found a number of my class mates teaching in the High School; Lillie Smith, sewing; Gladys Sellers and Irma Huddart, physical education. While 1 was still in Auburn 1 had tin pleasure of seeing Hagen-backs show. And not at all to my surprise I found William Chambers watering the elephant and feeding the monkeys peanuts, after which he was the leading clown. After leaving Auburn 1 went to Springfield, 111., where I attended a missionaries convention and saw Alyce McKee and Louise Mc-Crorv chosen as missionaries to Japan and China. Then upon my return home safe and sound, I found that Gordon Watkins had been acknowledged the greatest poet in the world with Lester Stoneman as his right hand man, and that Mabel Holman, Ina Jones and Mildred Whitfield were appointed to the White House, Mildred working in the capacity of janitor. However, Ina and Mabel were rising above that, little by little. Written By Grace G. Corners page seventy-three Glass ©til • • We, the class of 1919, being; about to pass out of this sphere of education in full possession of a crammed mind, well-trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. First, we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, our superintendent and his all-wise and ever competent faculty, who have been our guardians for so long, only asking as the last injunction of the dying, that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp that our worth, our merits, our attainments, and our position as Seniors must certainly have deserved. As to such estate as it his pleased the fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: We give and bequeath to the dear faculty who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long watches of the night to worry over our misdemeanors and shortcomings. We give and bequeath to our beloved superintendent, Prof. S. E. Clark, our deepest reverence and our heartiest gratitude. In an attempt at partial payment for all he has done for us during our High School life, we make over to him here and now a heavy mortgage on our future in the Gre’t Unknown. We give and bequeath to the Auburn High School our tenderest memories of four happy years. Perhaps the happiest we may ever know and we voice the wish that for many, many years to come, may she shelter just such carefree children as we, and may her influence be ever far reaching and continue to grow. Again we give and bequeath to our beloved faculty all the amazing knowledge and staitling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. Much of it we know must have been entirely new to them as it undoubtedly is to all teachers and students everywhere and as we feel such knowledge would throw a new light on the world of science and learning, the faculty is hereby duly authorized to impart such knowledge as they may feel the world is ready to receive. The following may seem trifling bequests but we hope they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable gifts to those who receive them and a continual reminder of the generosity of heart displayed in our free and full bestowal: 1st—To Miss McGrew, the profound admiration and everlasting friendship of the Class of 1919 in individual as well as collective manifestation. 2nd—To Miss Stevenson, the balance in our class treasury to be used in buying a pair of rubber shoes for detective work. We feel sure she will be sure to need them in dealing with our successors. 3rd—To Miss Goss, the thanks of the entire class for the able manner in which she has squelched all “spooning” and undue levity in the American History class. 4th—To Miss Stewart, our approval of her choice of soldier boys. 5th—To Miss Johnson, an alarm clock, once the property of Lyman Gilmore and Kenton Anderson. 6th—To Miss Craig, our sympathy for the difficult task she has had in coaching the Junior class play. 7th,—To Miss Bourne, Rosa Schellenberg’s appetite. page seventy-four 8th—To Fay Dillard, Ina Jones’ variety of hair dress. 9th—To Barton Furlong, Glen Guilliatt’s over-weight. 10th—To Lucile Magor, Amber Jodry’s charming personality. 11th—To Wylie May, Lyman Gilmore’s good understanding. 12th—To Harold Mutz, Pearle Erisman’s knowledge. 13th—To anyone who needs it, Mary Combs gift of “gab.” 14th—To Klain Williams, Lillie Smith’s gentleness. 15th—To Ruth Codington, Mary Simpson’s “shyness.” 16th—To Rex Gage, the right to copy Earle Henton’s “elegant manners.” 17th—To Irene Culwell, Juanita Gage’s cunning ways. 18th—To Doris Kite, Leah Carr’s influence with the young men. 19th—To some one, William Chamber’s “bluff.” Apply early and avoid the rush. 20th—To Gerald Simpson, Marguerite Harris’ position as pianist. 21st—To Glen Frary, Charles Rogge’s fame. 22nd—To Howard Mutz, the captaincy of the basket ball team, now held by Harold Davis. 23rd—To Irene Blount, Alyce McKee’s “wit.” 24th—To the Freshman Class that is to be, any overlooked cuds of gum left adhering to the undersides of desks, banisters, assembly seats, or any likely or unlikely places. 25th—To Leland Coryell, William Boyd’s constancy but not his good looks. He still feels the need of that and he could not be coaxed or cajoled into leaving it behind. 26th—To Arlene Keister, Grace Corner’s mature ways. 27th—To Opal Davis, Agnes Burger’s thorough knowledge of up-to-date slang. 28th—To Minnie Klein, Mildred Whitfield’s “wonderful eyes.” 29th—To Amy Kite, Mina Zabel’s slenderness. 30th—To Helen Stuff, Irma Huddart’s smiles, the ones that make you happy. 31st—To Helen Carmen, Eleanor Pett’s music ability. 32nd—To Jeanette Cotton, Emelyne Avey and Mary Rohrs, the example of all the members of this class. We have proven ourselves able to keep quiet on all occasions. Sheer numbers ought to convert them. 33rd—To George Wright, Kenton Anderson’s ability to fascinate out-of-town girls. 34th—To Alyce Martin, Hazel Osborne’s “curly hair.” 35th—To some benighted Freshman, or anybody who will accept it as it is yet unclaimed, Lester Stoneman’s gift of telling funny stories. 36th—To Lois Ord, Mable Holman’s studiousness. 37th—To Norma Conner, Louise McCrory’s recipe for carrying on a successful flirtation. 38th—To Mildred Norton, Gladys Sellers’ “extra dates.” 39th—To Myrtle Johnson, Gladys Pague’s complexion. 40th—To Bessie Combs, Nildred Mills’ love of adventure. 41st—To Verne Culwell, Harry Williams, Wilbur Maclay and Lloyd Lippold, the ability of Harold Davis, Kenton Anderson and Charles Rogge to play basket ball. We couldn’t induce Lyman to surrender his. page seventv-five 42nd—To Homer Storms, Gordon Watkins’ literary ability. 43—The subjoined list will be recognized as entailed estates to which we do declare the Class of 1920 the real and rightful owners: 1st—Our seats in class and assembly rooms. May they endeavor to fill them as well, as promptly, and as faithfully as we have done. 2nd—Our Senior dignity. May they uphold it forever with all seriousness and endeavor to realize its vast importance in spite of their natural light mindedness and irresponsibility. 3rd—To our successors we must leave our places in the hearts and thoughts of our principal and teachers. They will love them, unworthy as we feel they are, even as they have loved us. They will show them all the same tenderness and kindness and attention they have shown us. They will feel the same interest in their attempts and success and the same sorrow when they fail. We trust that the Class of 1920 will appreciate all this as deeply as we hjve done, that it may be their most precious possession as it has been ours, and the one we are most loathe to hand over to them. Besides these enforced gifts we leave, not of necessity, but of our own fee will our blessings and the kindest memory of our pleasant associations together and a pledge of friendship from henceforth and forever. All the rest and residue of our property whatsoever and whosoever, of what nature, kind and quality it may be and not herein before disposed of, after paying our debts and funeral expenses, we give and bequeath to our beloved principal and class advisor, George He :cock, for his use and benefit absolutely and to be disposed of for the good of the coming classes as he may see fit. In addition to the above mentioned, we do leave to him our sincere affection and the unlimited wealth of our eternal memory. And we do hereby constitute and appoint the said George Heacock, sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof we, the Class of 1919 the testators, by our legal representative, Edith Neal, have to this our will, set our hands and seal this 28 day of May, Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred and nineteen.

Mr. Fowler, ex-state superintendent of schools talks to normal trainers. Dear Daughter: You write asking me why our class of 1889 selected scarlet and green as its class colors. You will recall that I graduated in Auburn High’s first class away back in the dark ages. There is no question why green was selected as one of the colors. The faculty and all who knew us were as one to the eternal fitness of this color—the peculiar and universal appropriateness of the green, as the boys were in the majority. I can say, too, that this color was representative of our girls. Scarlet—the only reason assigned for this color was when we were asked to recite while visitors were present. Our answers were of such remarkable quality and so clear- MAY Loy Goss, page eighty-one ly marked us the green posies of the Nemaha, that they caused a flood of red to cover the faces of our wild-eyed instructors—scarlet they were. Yet our course of study was so simple—so alluring—so enticing. We never had to wear padded suits, kick goals, toss free throws, have field meets, Junior plays, or Senior sneak days. We never had a lady coach, or sponsors, or class days. We needed no Annual to memorialize, immortalize us. Our deeds were written, if not in the hearts of all men, at least over a good portion of the school building. We didn’t have to make dates. We just stood around outside after church and took her home if some other fellow didn’t beat us to it. We were not compelled to give her joy rides and surfeit her with ice cream and bon bons. Why father used to give me five cents every few weeks. I bought a whole sack-full of sweetness, which would last me all forenoon, besides I gave a great deal to Della who sat in front of me. Really I am the most noted member of a noted class—I ran for the legislature but was defeated. Some of our class really have their names in America’s “Who’s Who.” Our class, the first and the best class, extend our best wishes to the many alumni who have followed us and to the present Seniors in particulars. “Nuf sed.” Paul Goss. @entor Qlase Qlap ♦ ♦ The Senior play “Why Smith Left Home,” is an interesting and original comedy in three acts, and the players guarantee to show exactly why Smith left. The play is one that lends itself to excellent interpretation and the interest of the audience is held from the beginning to the end by a series of dramatic situations rising from one climax to another. People were found in the class to fit every part and we are anticipating an excellent play. The play will be given at the Rex theatre on Wednesday, May 28, and we know it will be given to a crowded house. The success of the play will be due largely to Mr. Heacock, who has worked long hours to coach the players. The cast of the play in order of their appearance is as follows: John Smith...............................................Kenton Anderson Gen. Billetdoux..........................................Lester Stoneman Count Von Guggenheim.......................................Glen Guilliatt Major Buncombe...................................Charles Rogge Robert Walton.................................William Chambers Mrs. John Smith..................................Juanita Gage Miss Smith............................................... Alice McKee Mrs. Billetdoux............................................Mary Simpson Rose Walton................................................Mina Zabel Julia............................................ Agnes Burger Elsie............................................ Mable Holman Lavinia Daly..............................................Pearl Erisman page eighty-twp Cfte :Reh Grose gate (First Prize Story) Jean Brownlee clutched her father’s arm excitedly, standing on tip-toe to watch her name-sake, Nebraska Jean, as she dipped down on the other side of the half mile track. “Daddy, daddy, look! Isn’t she the beauty! She did it in 2.9V2 didn’t she? Daddy, bet with me that she takes first money in the race Friday!” Her father smiled sympathetically on his sixteen-year-old daughter and replied, “You know I don’t bet, daughter. I love the sport for the sport’s sake, but your name-sake is a No. 1.” The jockey brought the object of these comments to a standstill close beside them, agreeing by smiles and Hashes of white teeth out of an ebony face. “See what I have in my pocket, Nobby,” tempted Jean, and Nebby nosed in the pocket of the jaunty sport coat until she found her lumps of sugar. Thursday evening father and daughter were deep in the perusal of the Horse Reviews. The first sharp peal of the door bell had no effect on the readers, but at tin persistent ringing, Jean marked her place carefully and went to the door. The light poured out on the excited face of Mose, the jockey’s brother. 11 is message was: “Tell de ol’ Marse, Missie, dat Abe’s hurt hisself. He can’t drive tomorrow.” Jean was all concern, then her face brightened and she Hew to her father. “Daddy,” she gasped, “Abe can’t drive tomorrow, he is hurt. Oh, daddy, if I drive Nebby and take first money may I have it for the Red Cross? Please, dad.” She Avas sure no one else could be found and, “Daddy you know a stranger couldn’t do it. Besides she knows me and I’ve tried her out just lots of times.” Mr. Brownlee’s better judgment was thus o rercome and so the next day the official score read thus: “Nebraska Jean (s. m.) G. Brownlee, J. Brownlee up.” Jean instructed her chum, Belle, to yell for the Red Cross and for the sorrel tops. “Just expand your lungs and shout, for the cause is just.” The grandstand spectatois were surprised to see among tin jockeys a slight girlish figure, with a distinguished Red Cross on a white cap. page eighty-three After the usual number of false starts came the cry: “They’re off!” The horses’ feet hit the track to the tune of “The Red Cross is third!” “Go it Red Cross!” “Atta boy!” “Quit you crowdin’ Earle, ladies present.” “Easy there!.” ‘Ah, she broke.” Jean is third—now second—here they come tearing down the quarter stretch—now suddenly shooting ahead; the grand stand shout: “Red Cross under the wire.” And the first heat is won. At the ( nd of tin second heat the Red Cross still held first place. Belle went over to the barns to congratulate Nebby and Jean on their success thus far. On her way back she was startled to hear tin words, “Nebraska Jean,” pierce the air. Although they were spoken softly enough, it sounded like a pistol shot to Belle. The voice went on: “She must not win. I’ve got to make something out of this.” “All right, Boss. A silk thread or horse hair will fix Nebby. How much do I get?” Belle waited for no more but bound back to warn Jean. At the beginning of tin third heat, Nebraska Jean seemed almost unmanageable. All of the high strung aristocrats of the turf acted as though they understood the spirit of the grandstand, which was now thoroughly in sympathy with Jean, either through her plucky handling of the nettlesome sorrel, or her cause, or both, and their encouraging shouts helped as they faced the trial for the final hour, crowded closely by the conspirator’s black. “Fly, Nebby, girl! Eat up the space! We’re here to win! Go! Go! Go! Nebby Jean! We’ll beat the rascals who would lame you!” And fly the plucky horse and girl seemed to, till, past everything on the track, half a head in advance of all others, under the wire came Nebraska Jean, while Belle shouted from tin grandstand: “One thousand dollars for the Bed Cross.” —Jeanette Cotton. page eighty-four XJattn It was a dark and stormy night, such a night as Washington crossed the Delaware. 1 was beginning to get cold and had no place to go. My wife—yes 1 was married—and 1 had disagreed again for the thousandth time and as usual she had won out. This time 1 had killed her perfectly nice singing cat, Latin, who persisted in sitting on the fence and serenading the whole neighborhood in general. Night after night I had withheld my anger; night after night I fought hack my mad desire to put an end to Latin, hut the thought of my wife and the results which would follow calmed me down. Last night I had reached the end of my endurance, so at 12:35 by the hall clock 1 did the deed which was to blot all future happiness from my life. In my anger I paid no attention to what I grabbed hold of hut knew that I had something solid. Taking good aim I let fly, hitting the cat on the northeast corner of the head. Cat and missile flopped over the fence and all was quiet on the Potomac. I climbed into bed, only to he confronted by my wife, who sleepily asked me why Latin had stopped singing. She had been dreaming that Latin was taking Caruso’s part in the opera “Caesar,” which she had attended the night before, while 1 had been detained at my offiice on business. I told her I had been trying to find that out myself. The next morning when 1 arrived downstairs expecting to find a nice warm fire and tempting breakfast awaiting me, what should appear before me but a rolling pin, which descended upon my dome. My wife held up to me, in this stunned and dazed condition, the stiff and lifeless form of her beloved Latin, and then flung at me my missile which was none other than my wife’s boot. I beat a hasty retreat, and here I am without friends or home, all on account of Latin. Disagreeing with the authors of books, I am firmly convinced that Latin sometimes loads to barbarism. By Harold Davis. STONEMAN’S HIGH SCHOOL ADDRESS Four years and seven days ago 1 started into this institution of learning, clad in short trousers and resolved to the proposition that I should gain my credits. Now 1 was engaged in a great contest, testing whether I should accomplish my aim or fail, which I could not long page eighty-five endure. I was met by a great difficulty in this undertaking. But I have come to train that portion of my brain as a final resting place for all knowledge. So as 1 might exist and live. It is all together fitting and proper that I should do this. But in a larger sense I could not cultivate, 1 could not alternate, 1 could not control my mind. The brave teachers living and dead who have worked there, have alternated it fax-above ixxy poor powers to add or subtract. My brain will little note nor long remember what I have forgotten but never forget what 1 remember. It is for my brain rather than my hands to finish the work which I have so nobly advanced. It is rather for it to fulfill the great task of enlarging my bank roll for which I spent four years in training. And thus I highly resolve that I have not done this in vain. And thus said, uxxder God, I shall get the dollar, keep the dollar, and it shall not perish from ixxy pocket book. By Less N. Nothing Oh marriage, holy marriage, ()h marriage, heavenly bliss, No single man can know the joy Of happiness like this. A little girl to greet you When you come weary home, To spend with you the evening Yoxi used to spend alone.

Nine little freshmen, Shall you hear their fate; One of them got canned from school And then there were eight. Eight little freshmen, With not a thot of heaven; One of them chewed gum in school, And then there were seven. Seven little freshmen Got into a fix, One got called down to the office, And then there were six. page eighty-six Six little freshmen, Laziest things alive; One of them quit school one day, And then there were five. Five little freshmen, Studied never more; One of them flunked an exam, And then there were four. Four little freshmen, Tried rough-necks to be, So they drank some bright red pop, And then there were three. Three little freshmen, Tried out something new In domestic science class, And then there were two. Two little freshmen Thot they’d have some fun, The teacher ca-ught them having it And then there was one. One little freshman, Feeling blue and glum; Miss Johnson took a look at him, And then there was none. —Heza Knut MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY One cold bitter night and when there was much snow Howard M. to Sellers’ big mansion did go.

It was nearly past the hour of nine, But we didn’t need a “sir.” We started home, so did they. The moon was not so clear; But when we reached the house at last, Behold; A scene most queer! Under a parasol out in the rain They stood and talked together. We really thought them quite insane. But they didn’t mind the weather. —Amy Kite ’22 AND EVERYTHING De Junyah’s done give a play dis yea’ In which Mutz shor’ downed de bea And Mista Storms was at de head Of dis gran’ show’ called de New Co ED.
