BOOK ONE Faculty and Classes BOOK TWO A ihlelics BOOK THREE Organizations BOOK FOUR Student Life S. E. CLARK Mr. S. E. Clark, our superintendent, received his A. B. degree at the University of Nebraska. He has also taken work at the University of Chicago. During his three years as superintendent of our schools Mr. Clark has done many things toward promoting the standards of our school. This year, in addition to the Commercial Course a course in home management was added. The Departmental work introduced in the grades this year has been very successful. page eight GEO. E. HEACOCK Mr. Geo. E. Heacock was graduated at Peru Normal in 1911. He has attended Omaha University. As sponsor of our Senior Class of 1920, Mr. Heacock has aided us, as a class, in all our activities during the past year. We appreciate the interest he has shown in the publication of this annual and also the effort he put forth to make it a success. His originality and cleverness has convinced us of the need of him in Auburn High School for the benefit of the classes to come. Dace nine IDA BUNTING Lincoln, Nebraska Miss Bunting who is the commercial teacher, received her training at the Lincoln Business College. The old adage “Great things often come in small packages,” expresses our sentiments exactly. ELSIE CRAIG Crete, Nebraska Miss Craig received lur A. B. degree at Doane College in 1915. As a teacher of Latin in our schools for two years she has won the respect of both pupils and patrons. page ten BIRDEEN ERNST Aurora, Nebraska Miss Ernst received her A. B. at Wesleyan University in 1919. This is Miss Ernst’s first term in our schools. We have gained thorough training through her instruction in whatever phase of science we have taken up. We sincerely hope she will remain a member of the faculty as she has done much toward making our school a success. ANNADORA GREGORY Crete, Nebraska Miss Gregory received her A. B. degree at Doane College in 1915 and her M. A. degree in 1918 at the University of Nebraska. This is her first year as a member of our faculty, but during this time she has shown her ability in teaching history. page eleven MARGARET KILLIAN Kearney, Nebraska Miss Killian received her B. S. decree at the Iowa State College at Ames, Iowa. Although but a few of the class of ’20 have had Miss Killian for an instructor, these and the lower classmen speak the highest of her ability. MRS. HELEN LANGFORD Auburn, Nebraska Mrs. Langford accepted the position of music instructor in all our public schools after the resignation of Miss McGuire. We regretted losing Miss McGuire, but we also welcomed Mrs. Langford because we knew she could take up the work and go on making the music in our schools a success. page twelve ETHEL LINDSEY Craig. Colo. Miss Lindsey received her A. B. degree at the University of Nebraska in 1917. She has done much in making our school life a pleasure and her untiring patience and companionship have won the favor of all the students. ROXIE McGREW Auburn, Nebraska Miss McGrew is a graduate of Peru Normal. During the .years the students have been associated with her, she has won the esteem and highest regard of everyone. She has always been most thoughtful of the welfare of each individual. page thirteen NAOMI McGUIRE Pawhuska, Oklahoma Naomi McGuire was instructor of music in the Auburn Public schools at the beginning of the term and it was with a feeling of deep regret that we learned of her resignation. PEARL STEVENSON Auburn, Nebraska Miss Stevenson was graduated from Peru Normal. and received her A. B. degree at the University of Nebraska in 1904. Through her literary genius she has insnired many students to appreciate the real qualities of idealistic writings. page fourteen fiMELYN AYEY I wish something exciting could happen.

Shortly after school began, the sponsors were appointed and until I became a junior,1 never believed the saying that “the juniors always get the best sponsor.” Miss Lindsey called a meeting of the class and officers were elected: Persident ....................................Lucile Magor Vice President................................Arlene Keister Secretary-Treasurer............................ Elina Snyder As usual everyone eagerly awaited the first social event, the Freshmen reception, which was quite informal, since it was given as a hardtime party. Prizes were given to the two who looked the worst and a grand march around tin “gym” afforded an amusing display of the queer costumes. The first semester the classes took turns entertaining the rest of the school during the twenty-minute period on Friday mornings. The junior class certainly showed its talent along the line of entertaining in original and clever performances. During the inter-class debates the juniors were represented by Yvonne Harmon and Mabel Stoneman and both proved themselves a credit to the class. In the inter-class spelling contest the juniors held a place until the very last and then through pity and kind-heartedness which is so characteristic of that class, gave up the race to the Freshmen. The junior class has displayed a great deal of ability in athletics— in basket ball, both boys and girls. Three members of the first team, Lloyd Lippold, Wilbur Maclay and Glenn Frary, are of the junior class. The junior play, “All on Account of Polly,” was given January 29 at the Rex Theater and it was a “howling success.” The net proceeds were $182.67, an amount never before reached bv any junior class here. pace twenty-three CAST OK CHARACTERS Ralph Beverly—Polly’s Guardian______ Baldwin—His Son_____________________ Peter Hartleigh—A Prospective Son-in-law Silas Young—A Money Lender__________ Harkins—A Butler____________________ Tommy—A Little Boy__________________ Polly Perkins—A Small Town .

The Junior-Senior Banquet—the social fete of the season—was given in the Auburn Hotel, May 22. The Juniors proved their ability as capable entertainers upon this occasion and the menu was most palatable, the decorations wore distinct and showed the individual artistic ability so characteristic of the Juniors. —FAYE DILLARD, ’21. page twenty-four o m o r e gtopfiomore (Jlass Qtetorp On September 8, 1919, after three months recuperation from the hardest nine months in the entire high school course, fifty sophomores again took their seats in the great halls of learning. It was difficult at first to realize that we were no longer Freshies but we soon became accustomed to this and settled down with all the pride and dignity which justly becomes a sophomore. A short while after entering school we had our first class meeting of the year under the efficient leadership of Miss Stevenson. At that time we elected the following officers for the ensuing year: Harry Williams................................ ------------------ President. Florence Copeland_____________________________________________Vice President. Lynn Paris_______________________________________________Secretary-Treasurer. A few days after the election of officers we assisted the Juniors and Seniors in giving the freshmen a reception. At this time two of the little freshies got into a syrup fight and Howard Ferneau was found using the syrup for a hair tonic. In the inter-class contests, we made ourselves known, although we did not carry off the high honors in all of them. The juniors won the boys' championship in the in- page twenty-six ter-class basket ball sanies, but the sophomore girls save the honor of the class by winning the girls’ championship. In the inter-cbss debates we chose for our representatives, John Broady and Leon Rentschler. However the championship went to the seniors’ eloquent speakers, Mr. Leland Coryell and Mr. Pell Broady. Some time after this an inter-class spelling contest was held and John Broady took third place. We are also well represented in athletics. Harry Williams is playing guard on the first team basket ball, while John Broady is also on the first team acting as a substitute. Chester Combs is the captain of ths second team and Barton Furlong is playing forward. Aside from contests and athletics the class of 1922 also has unlimited musical talent. The girls’ sextette which was organiz'd in the ninth grade made their first appearance before the assembly at the first of the year. Their singing is something of which the sophomore class may be justly proud. The largest part of the high school orchestra is made up of sophomores and this organization which has played for class plays, programs and other places always meets with the heartiest reception. A short time after the end of the first semester, the first semester English class entertained the balance of the tenth grade in the high school gymnasium. It was a most successful affair and after the games were played and the girls’ delicious refreshments served, everyone declared that he had a very enjoyable evening. In conclusion, we feel that we have had a very successful year, and we wish to express our gratitude especially to Miss Stevenson, our sponsor, to whom we feel most of this success is due. —THOMAS A. EUSTICE ’22. page twenty-sivn page twenty-eight fires men Chi63 E5istorP The Freshmen Weekly Paper was organized with sixty stockholders but ten have sold their shares to the president and two new ones have taken out . hare3. T nis makes the total number of stockholders at the present time, fifty-two. At the first meeting of the stockholders Kenneth Davis was elected President,Carson Boyd, Vice President, Myra Biggerstalr, secretary, Dorothy Hughes, treasurer and Howard Ferneau, yell leader. The stockholders found that Miss Birdeen Ernst, the eminent editor was to be the advisor for the Freshmen Weekly during the school year of 1919 and 1920. Clippings from the Freshmen Weekly: LOST—September 26, 1919, the proverbial freshmen “greenness” sometime the first week of school. Finder may keep as a reward. HOME DEPARTMENT—November 15, 1919—Fun Cake: Plenty of eats, Class of ’23, Faculty. Stir well and season strongly with games. Serve in the gymnasium at eight o’clock. The freshmen tried this on November 15 and found it O. K. If any of the other classes wish to try this recipe they may substitute other material, but the result will not be as good. p a g • thirty SPORT COLUMN December 12, 1919—The freshmen hoys and girls have exceptionally fine Basket Ball Teams considering: that this is the first year they have played. NEWS ITEMS October 4, 1919—The upper classes gave a “Hard Time party in honor of the freshmen on October 3. After “‘shooting the chutes without having any boms broken, the freshmen felt as if they were true A. H. S. members. November 15, 1919—The freshmen gave a stunt in the assembly room which was a “smasher” (especially for Leland Coryell). November 30, 1919—The freshmen representatives, Myra Biggerstaff and Faye Brod, won second place in the Inter-class debate held the past week. December ( , 1919—Miss Ilda Schrifer proved to be the bestspeller in the Inter-class Spelling Contest conducted on December 2. January 30, 1920—Another stunt was given by the freshmen which displayed talent both musical and oratorical. March 20, 1920—The freshmen enjoyed another party last Friday. Ask Raymond Kite about the “Bottle Lodge.” The freshmen have adopted the following yell: Freshmen Bunch, Freshmen Bunch O ye people, do you get that hunch ? Are we in it, well I guess, Freshmen, Freshmen, yes, yes, yes. —ISABELLE SNYDER page thirty-one ___4.__mol _t ' A r I fcTETu SeeTtx (see y c) at the 4 -mutt Jeft f” u= Sen'uor S n-L e - Gug -g VTKo V Why!___________The. vS oU-l «•'— . --If - •Ctf r ' VTw rr- ■--—'!?- “ ■ ’ • £C S KS • - G . ©askct ©all Cl)c Ceam The Auburn Basket Ball team has been very successful this season even though all of the team has not had a great deal of previous experience. The line-up for this season is as follows: Glenn Frary, who substituted with the first team the latter part of the reason last year, came out and made a very fast forward this year. Frary’s floor work was good and he showed a great deal of good headwork throughout every game in which he participated. His pivoting proved to be a great success. On his goal shooting he was superb, making more goals than any other man. Frary will be back again next year and wonderful things in the athletics of ths school are expected of him. Lloyd Lippold has played the other forward this season and has proved to be an exceedingly fast man. This is his first year on the team but has been able to handle every one of his opponents with a reasonable amount of ease. He is very fast on the floor and handles the ball in first class shape. He is a good passer and is accurate at his goals. Lippold will also be back next year which means Auburn will have a pair of fast and efficient forwards. Wilber Maclay is our tall boy who jumps at center and has been very successful in his position. His position is one that requires a good man and Auburn was very fortunate to haye Maclay. He is nervy and nothing seems to bother him on the floor. He is fast and is very good at delivering his signals to their respective positions. “Bill” will be here next year for which we are all thankful and we only hope that ty the time he finishes there will be someone who can fill his position as well as he has filled it the past season. Harry Williams is what you might call the bouncer of the team. His position is stationary guard and he surely fills the position well. He plays in the interest of the team all the time and does his guarding well. This is practically his first experience and by the time he gets to be a senior he will be a whirlwind. Williams has gone back to the farm this spring to start training for next year and when he enters next year free from all the smoke of the city he will make some of the boys work for their position. Mutz, our captain for the last season, has been a very efficient player on the team for the past three years. Mutz made one of the best captains which Auburn High school has ever produced, as he understands the game thoroughly and knows how to handle men in a pinch. Mutz always worked for the welfare of the team, and by fast work on the floor has made a winning team of almost new material. We are all very sorry that Mutz will leave us this year as the team will miss his good leadership next year. Grover Milam showed up very well in the try-outs for the team this year making substitute center. This is Milam’s first year of any real basket ball experience and he proved to be an extra good beginner and we feel sure that with one more year's experience would make as good a man as Auburn High School has produced for a long: time. Milam graduates this year and we feel sure that if he goes away to school lie will succeed in his athletics. John Broady who has not been attending high schcol previous to this year entered and showed himself to be a very fast forward and succeeded in making substitute forward this season. Broady is a sophomore and wonders are expected of him in the next two or three years. While he did not get to start in many games this year he has had lots of good experience which will help a great deal next year. Last, but not least, comes Coach Heacock. This is his second year and he has been very successful in training the boys. A great deal is coming to Coach, as he has made basket ball a far greater success than it has been for a great many years. He has spent a great deal of time and effort with athletics in Auburn and we are sure that other people appreciate it as well as the fellows that have been under his supervision. His coaching is very fine and he seems to know how to handle the fellows so that there is a great deal of enthusiasm and unity in the team. Everybody is looking forward to next year’s season as one when the team will really go over the top. page thirty-five Cfie Panics The basket ball season was looked forward to with a great deal of enthusiasm. As we are not allowed to play foot ball every one looks forward to basket ball as the only active kind of athletics in the school. November 14 was the beginning of the 1919-20 basket ball season in Auburn. At this time the first of the Inter-class tournament was played by both girls and boys. The first game was played between the freshmen and seniors and on account of the seniors having had more experience than the freshmen, they were victorious in both girls' and boys’ games. On the following Tuesday, November 18, the junior-sophomore game was played. The boys’ game was close, the juniors being victorious however, and put them closer to the finals. The junior girls could not keep up the record of the class for they were playing in too fast company, the sophomores were victorious by quite a margin. These same teams met again the following Friday and Tuesday, and the games resulted as before. This put the juniors and seniors in the finals for the boys and the seniors and soophomores for the girls. The following Tuesday the finals were played. A large number of students witnessed the game. It was a hard fought battle from the start and the juniors were badly mistaken in number of points that they were going to beat the seniors. However, the juniors were victorious and the sophomores were victorious over the senior girls. After the class games were over, first team practice began and there were a number came out to practice. Coach Heacock then organized a squad of sixteen men who came to practice regularly. This squad consisted of the following men: Glenn Frary, Wilbur Maclay, Lloyd Lippold, Harry Williams, Howard Mutz, Glover Milam, John Broady, George Wright, James Clark, Chester Combs, Harold Klein, Barton Furlong, Riley Kite, Ralph Williams, Leo Bourke and Wylie May. The first team was chosen from these sixteen men consisting of the following seven: Glenn Frary, forward; Lloyd Lippold, forward; Wilbur Maclay, center; Harry Williams, guard; Howard Mutz, guard; Glover Milam ar.d John Broady, substitutes. Howard Mutz was elected captain by the vote of the first team. The first game of the season was played at home with Humboldt who had a very heavy team but in spite of the fact that Auburn’s team was light and inexperienced they had the visitors out classed from the start and the game ended with a score of 34 to 17 in favor of Auburn. The second game of the season was played the 31st of December, between Randolph and Auburn. Randolph had a young and inexperienced team and also on account of being away from home were not very successful when battling gainst the Auburn squad. The final score being 14 to 36. On January 2 Havelock came to Auburn with the intention of cleaning house. They had a team that had played together for about three years and never once thought of losing the game. This was a very fast game from the start and also a very close one up until the close when Auburn ran the score up to 26 to 14. Ths following week Plattsmouth came to Auburn with a very strong basket ball aggregation. Our center was out on account of death in the family, but in spite of the fact that Auburn did not have their regular team they were able to defeat Plattsmouth. The 23rd day of January we went to Havelock to play the second game of the reason with that place. As Auburn had beaten Havelock one game they were very anxious to meet us and get revenge. The game was very close and at the end of the first half, the score was 13 to 18 in Auburn’s favor. The second half the table turned and Hevelock became very fortunate in their basket throwing and were successful in running up the score to 31 against Auburn’s 24. On the 30th day of January the game between Syracuse and Auburn was staged. This game was not very interesting as the home boys had the Syracuse team out classed from the start, the score being 42 to 10. February 2 Auburn went to Plattsmouth, but were not as successful as at home. In the first half they ran off from us, but we came back strong in the second and nearly page t’.irty-si caught up. However, we started too late in the game. The game ended with a score of 35 to 38 in favor of Plattsmouth. The next week the Hebron gang came to Auburn with high expectations. They had won a game the night before and thought that they had a cinch on this game, but we had to disappoint them by a small defeat; however, the game was close and they had a very nice team to play against. The final score on the game was 20 to 12 in favor of Auburn. On February 25 we went to Nebraska City. They had a very good team and also being much better acquainted with their floor than we were made them a very hard team to play. They got off on the right foot and ran a score of 1(5 to 4 in the first half. When we started the second half we were better acquainted with ih- floor and held them to a tie in the last half. The final score being 24 to 12 ir. favor of Nebraska City. On Monday, March 1, the team went down to Dawson for a practice game to keep the boys in shape for the tournament which was to take place the same week. The game was staged in a barn and was very thrilling from start to finish. Williams got hit in the jaw by some mistake, which burst forth with a gush that very much resembled the fountain of youth. The final score of the game was 20 to 8 with Auburn on the big end. On the 4th of March the big state meet started. This tournament was the biggest in the history, having 17(5 teams entered. Auburn was entered in “C” class. We met Havelock the first game. Havelock had a very fast team and succeeded in defeating Auburn by a score of 8 to 18. Havelock finally succeeded in winning their class. page thirty-seven BOYS GYM CLASS GIRLS GYM CLASS Bops’ d5pm Class • • This class is composed of all the able bodied boys in school, the basket ball squad being exempt during the basket ball season. Part of the time is given to military drill, but the main object of the work is to develop better lungs, better circulation and correct body posture. The wrestling and tumbling exercises have done much to develope self confidence and do away with that extreme awkwardness sometimes noticeable in boys of high school age. Our schools throughout the country have recently been taking more notice of the fact that a healthy body is a great asset to an active mind, and the system of setting up exercises, which we have practiced during the last year, while simple, are yet complicated enough to bring into play every muscle, and if every boy would continue to practice regularly these exercises they would find it to be of great benefit throughout their whole future lives. Through the efforts of our capable instructor, Mr. Heacock, who saw the need of gymnasium equipment, a fund of $48.50 was raised by the school at inter-class games to which the Board of Education added an equal amount. This money was used to purchase dumb bells, mat, boxing dummy, trapeze, and a punching bag with a frame. The class of ’18 became interested in the project and forwarded an amount of money sufficient to purchase a vaulting buck which is affording the pupils much amusement. dMrls’ d5pm Class As the world advances physical perfection in both men and women is recognized more and more as a vital requisite to worthy American citizenship. American womanhood is placed upon a high scale by all nations and the woman of this glorious land of ours takes pride in her ability to accomplish things and assume leadership. A weak or maimed body calls forth universal pity and one so inadequately equipped finds herself handicaped in the struggle for survival of the fittest. Physical Education for girls as taught in the Auburn high school by Miss Lindsey, aids nature in accomplishing correct postures, in acquiring grace and developing the general muscles of the body. The course is one in Swedish gymnastics and stress is laid upon floor drills, folk dances, playground games, basket ball and track. In spite of poor equipment and shortness of time, we feel that much has been accomplished along this line. page forty £be Sophomore 0trls’ Ornette The Sophomore Girls' Sextette, which was started when freshmen, has still continued this year. There are some splendid voices in the class and it is hoped they will last all through high school. They furnished one Friday morning program which was enjoyed by all. The members are as follows: First soprano—Lois Ord and Amy Kite. Second soprano—Lucile Harris and Bessie Gillan. Alto—Mary Rohrs and Mora Black. £0alt Quartette The members of the Male Quartet are Howard Mutz, first tenor; Pell Broady, second tenor; Mr. Heacock, baritone, and Homer Storms, bass. They sang several selections for the Senior Sturt Day. They have fine voices which harmonize perfectly. They also sang between acts of the “Excuse Me play given for the benefit of the basket ball boys. Qtrls’ 0lcc Qlub The Girls’ Glee Club has taken the place of the chorus this year, and was started under the direction of Miss McGuire. By providing; the music between acts of the Junior play, they showed what spkndid work they have been doing;. Every one regretted the loss of Miss McGuire wh.n she resigned on account of the death of a brother. Her place was filled with one vsry capable of handling the work, Mrs. Wiley Langford. The Glee Club is planning on giving a musical program before school closes this year. page forty-two £ taff tn Jetton This, the 1920 Scarlet and Green, is offered as a record of one brief but profitable year in the history of the Auburn High school. We have given our best efforts toward making this annual perfect, but we have probably made many mistakes. As a high school annual let it be judged. If in the future this will bring you back to th° dear days which are past, to those friends and school mates with whom you were associated, so that you will recall the incidents of those four happy years, then will we feel that our work has not been in vain. Altough our task has been great, we have profited by our labors, and it is with sadness that we finish our work for we realize that our class ties will soon be broken. The staff wishes to thank all who have contributed literature or snapshots in an effort to make this annual better. Signed KATE RILEY.

The question was debated with care. It was about the electric light— We should help Auburn in its sad plight. Should the plant be run by a private gang, Or should Auburn own the whole sh-bang? So they decided upon a date For the freshmen and sophomore debate. Misses M. Biggerstaff 2nd F. Brod, For the freshmen, showed it was a fraud To pay a company such high rates. The sophomores, Rentschler and Broady, showed That the town should not have such a load, Because the taxes are very high, And Auburr a light plant could not buy. Miss Stevenson was chairman, Mr. Clark, judge, The freshmen b-at as easy as fudge. Then came the junior-senior affair, Miss Redding was lady of the chair. Misses Stoneman and Harmor with rare grace. In the junior's behalf, pled their case. That with a home concern, Auburn could Furnish bstter lights than a company would. The seniors, Broady ard Coryell, Used every means by which they could tell That Auburn was too dinky a town, To own a light plant of any renown. Of the circus they told what they knew. And talked about the Bolsheviks, too. The judge said that the Seniors had won. So the Inter-class debate was done. —Isabelle Snyder ’23. Experiences are hard things to write, so I won’t try to tell you anything you won’t believe. One day Lynn and I decided that a little trip to Egypt would be interesting so we started on the second Monday of May 1918. It was very hot when we reached Africa; it was their summer time, I guess, because all the people went about in their shirt sleeves. We had been there for about three months and it was just the time of year when the elephants were good to eat, so we went out to get one. Lynn took his 22 rifle and I took a good long stick and so we started. We had walked about twenty miles when Lynn became sea-sick and we had to stop. I ran back and called a physician and we were on our way again in about a half hour. We were just around the corner of a pyramid when out jumped an elephant about as big as a good sized house. I ran around to the other side of the pyramid to watch poor Lynn’s fate. The elephant looked at Lynn and started out on a fast run. Lynn had succeeded in scaring him. This made Lyrtn very brave and he started to chase him. He had gone about ten feet when he stepped in a whole nest of little elephants. Lynn shot his rifle in there and killed or wounded about sixty. But Lynn did rot see the old lady elephant coming up behind him until he turned around. He immediately started out on a gallop around the pyramid with the old lady right behind him. When they came to my corner, I joined in the parade. We ran around the structure about thirty times without looking back. And when we did turn around our pursuer was no where to be found. We had to go around three more times before we cculd stop. On the last time around we saw the elephant lying dead in her tracks. We had run her to death. Wylie May ’22. Howard Mutz was a little boy, That went to Auburn High School. He always did his very best, And never broke a rule. He never whispered or joked, But always tried to do The thing that most would please His teacher, Miss McGrew. He studied hard and late at night, And never went to Frary’s For fear the smoke would make him sick, Or give him the hysterics. Athletics he detested most, Especially basket-ball, But when it comes to chemistry, Hs sure out-classed them all. The dance-hall with its gilt and lure, To him had no attraction, He was happiest when in school, But hated the vacation. About the future he’s not sure, But rather thinks he’ll take A course in some good college, And a missionary make. page forty-six H2S One day in the chemistry lab They all put in a little dab, And made a horrible mixture. The scent ascended up the stairs. That made us all forget our cares, And was a permanent fixture. Each boy began to hold his nose. While all the girls sat in repose, It was a terrible odor. Miss Lindsey gave a little speech, The works of science she did teach, If I told more I fear I'd bore. —Helen Carman ’20. SPARTAN DISCIPLINE That’s what we have 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, and 36 weeks a year, at Auburn High school. At the first of the year, you could speak if you had permission, get that? If you had permission and you could sit down and rest for 1% minutes with the person you were speaking to. It somewhat brightened up the long hours of the dav. But it didn’t last—thev got wise to our friendly chats and immediately passed a law—they call ’em announcements but they’re laws—that you could not sit down with your friend and must confine your conversations strictly to lessons. Made it pretty hard on Howard, when he had something nice to whisper in Mildred’s pink little ear. And then—and then came the hardest blow of all—yes this was written by a girl—Mr. Heacock happened to cast his orbs in Doris’ direction one morning when she was powdering her nose—yes, Doris powders—I mean she used to—so now, the girls don’t carry puffs and vanity bags—but are compelled to let their noses shine, and sometimes a few hairs escape the clutch of a hairpin; and how humiliating it all is. And then the ninth period—say! that’s a detriment to the welfare of the community—just because Miss Gregory sees you whispering, and it’s her fault—she shouldn’t have looked—they keep you in and make you write poetry—I know from experience—make you write it three times and sometimes learn it and if you don’t get it finished they politely inform you that you are cordially invited to stay the next night and you stay, too— I know. Well, first it’s gum-chewing, then talking in the halls, then it’s notes and writing letters, then its throwing paper wads and then—what’s the use. I couldn’t name all the things they think of to make ‘ announcements” about. It’s no wonder so many people quit high school or are mentally deficient when they graduate after 4 (?) long dreary years of nagging and hen-pecking. —Faye Dillard. It’s raining good and hard today, But not the rain that brings The modest violets through the ground Or makes the bluebirds sing. It’s raining stiff exams, in chunks, That make you wonder whether, You’ll get F or P or flunk altogether. The quiz today has turned me gray And cooked my hash up brown. It’s my belief that Heacock, Will rain the zeros down. It’s hailing, too, goose eggs big and blue, For now Miss Craig is watching. And the pony true, that could pull me through, Lies helpless; it is shocking. A health unto the sharper, A fig to him who crams, It’s raining fearful rains to me, In the shape of cold exams. —Kate Riley. Junior is the class for me, United we will ever be, Never sad but full of fun. I love the class of twenty-one O Juniors, listen now to me Rejoice! next year we’ll Seniors be. —Arlene Keister ’21. page fortv-seven ODE TO PHYSICS Just as I am, Without one plea, I pave myself To study thee. Each page I turn I prow more dense, My brain prows numb, My poor heart faints. Acceleration Is beyond me; And worse than that Is velocity. That H20 is Stuff we drink And throw' on fires, Is hard to think. And work is distance Times the force, And v. a equals t Why of course. Hydraulic press And pumps are—bunk, Why fill my brain With all that junk? My card’s adorned With F's and P’s, I stay in niphts Because of these. My dreams are made Up of such things As kinetic enerpy In coil springs. My teacher looks At me so stern, And wonders if 111 ever learn. Oh! teacher dear, Can you not see These awful things Are not for me? But such is life! We’ve it to blame, And study physics Just the same. —Helen Tankersley ’21 page forty-eight t®. m c. a President______ Vice President. Secretary______ Treasurer______ Sponsor________ Ruth Codington Mildred Norton ____Emelyn Avey ____Dean Mayer -Miss Ada Bath The Y. W. C. A. of Auburn High school was organized March 8, 1919. Early in the fall the society was recognized, becoming a member of the National organization. Much advancement has been made in the year’s time that this society has been in organization. Three delegates represented Auburn at the conference in Minnesota last summer. An honor system has been introduced this year. The girl receiving the most honors will be sent as a delegate to the conference at Lake Okoboji, Iowa. This is a great inducement to work diligently. This year much more has been accomplished and the work has been much easier, due to the sponsors and officers having attained a few pounds of experience. An opening party was held in the gym in September. Many new members wtre enrolled. Everyone—that is, everyone present—enjoyed ths wennie roast held not long afterwards—in the rain. The service Committee distributed toys, food and clothing to the less fortunate children at Christmas time. The meetings have been very interesting and a social hour has been enjoyed after the business. The girls won’t soon forget chopsticks, spaghetti, Chinese dress—by the way, what was that story about ? And all those young men who wore caps at the party. Don’t tell anybody, but the party had its picture taken, but it must have been a case of too many gentlemen spoiling the picture, for it was a failure. But the party wasn’t—well I should say not. 0 “The Broken Melody” was presented at the Ideal Theater under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. A mothers’ and daughters’ banquet is being planned. The new officers have been elected and the installation service will be sometime in May. 1920 Hook Htfr V. s . • « - - V X.« Y : i ; vu • n ; J V ,- ', 2.-5 i.

They say Mike is expecting to depart soon. 23— It was noted by Opal Davis and some of Mr. George Wright’s other friends that Mr. Wright had become nurse maid for Mrs. Hohensee. It. came as a gr;at shock to Miss Davis as she didn’t know of this wonderful promotion of Mr. Wright’s. 24— Leap year always tells who is the most popular ni3n. It has been voted that Mr. John Broady has the honor as he was seen at Frary’s th? other night with fout girls. 25— Mildred Dye attends school again. 2fi—All seem to go crazy over our new student, although she is but a freshman. page fifty-five High School Building from 1886 to 1912 The first class to be graduated in this school was in I 889. While this building stood the Auburn High School acquired the high standing in educational qualifications that has continued to the present time. The various departments were approved by the University of Nebraska inspector early in its history, and since that time the institution has ranked as one of the leading hisrh schools of the state. One of the superintendents was Charles Fordyce, who is now dean of the Teachers’ College of Nebraska University. In the spring of 1912 the building was torn down to make room for the erection of a larger building. race fifty-six High School Building Erected in 1912 The present building is one of the best school houses in Nebraska. J. A. Doremus was superintendent when it was constructed, and he had a great part in arranging the spacious and convenient rooms and their equipment. This building contains a large gymnasium, manual training shop, home science kitchen and dining room, boys’ and girls’ bath rooms, laboratories for chemistry and physics, a large library, a room for typewriting, and a spacious and attractive assembly room in addition to the usual recitation rooms. Supt. Clark has been in charge of the educational movements here since Supt. Doremus went to Aurora in 1917. page fifty-seven the; (SAZEATJnr Edited by O. Davis; DeVa Armstiong, Cartoonist VOL. I.

He is making a tour of the United States in interest of the cigarette law. He will be here between trains and wall speak at the Rex theater. There is no need to urge your presence for everyone will be interested in hearing Piesident Milam as he is a former resident of Auburn and graduated with the class of 1920. President Milam is much opposed to cigarette smoking, and is doing his best to rid the country of this awful habit. He has splendid ideas on this subject and brings considerable humor into his speeches, which will, at the same time make them both educative and interesting to everyone. Great preparations are being made for his entertainment and it is hoped that everyone will help him as much as possible by giving him their support. BEAUTIFUL HOME WEDDING Miss Fern Stanley Becomes Bride of Mr. Pell Broady A beautiful wedding occured at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hilt. Stanley Tuesday afternoon at four o’clock when their daughter, Fern, became the bride of Mr. Pell Broady of Buenos Aires, South America. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Otto Smith of the Methodist church of this city. Preceeding the ceremony a delightful program was given and immediately following this, Miss Laura Schriefer played the wedding march, which continued throughout the ceremony. The groom and pastor waited at the alter for the bride, who, dressed in white satin and carrying a huge bouquet of pink roses joined them, accompanied by her father. Following the ceremony the guests were served with dainty refreshments and after an hour of enjoyment for all, the bride and groom left for Europe where they will spend a few months, and will later go to their home in Buenos Aires. The community extends their congratulations and best wishes to the happy couple. KITE IN ATTACK ON CIGARETTE LAW Long Address In Senate Delayed Vote. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 30.—(Special Telegram to the Gaze-At-It)—Late today Senator Kite of Nebraska began another long address, attacking the proposed cigarette law. Senator Kite is radically opposed to this law and is doing his utmost to defeat the president in his stand. It is beginning to look as though he will win the majority of votes from the house which will probably bring about the defeat of the proposed law. This makes the fourth time that Senator Kite has held up the vote on some measure. He is noted for his long and interesting speeches. BLACK AND WHITE BALL Miss Marie Rowen gave a Black and White ball at her home last Tuesday evening. The guests were dressed in black and white, Mr. and Mrs. Van Quinn carrying off the prize for the most ar- page fifty-eight THE GAZE-AT-IT Page 2 tistic costumes. The home was decorated in black and white and refreshments were served which further carried out the color scheme. Everyone reported a very enjoyable time as it is unanimously voted that Miss Rowen is a very successful hostess. STRANGE WEDDING! GROOM HARD UP! At the fair last week Leland Coryell and Opal Keedy were married in a Ferris wheel in order for the groom to win a suit of clothes offered by a local merchant. It is hoped that the marriage ties will last at least as long as the suit does. FORMER AUBURN GRADUATE TO TEACH HERE We feel that our school board has been more than fortunate in securing the services of Miss Ruth Codington as a teacher in our high school for next year. Miss Codington graduated from our high school about ten years ago. She has since then graduated from the Peru Normal and has been a teacher of Latin in the Beatrice school. We feel that our children will now have a means by which to secure a good Latin foundation and we appreciate very much Miss Codington’s willingness in coming here. STOP! LOOK!! LISTEN!! Now is your chance! Don’t wait! I am going to sell my shoe-repairing business as soon, as possible. It is located in the principal part of the city and has a thriving business. I have a good supply of material and tools. Will sell at reasonable prices.—Homer Storms. GREAT OPERA SINGERS TO BE HERE LINCOLN, Nebr., May 2—This week Lincoln will have the privilege of hearing the great opera singer, Ormond Kelligar. He will be accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Kelligar, nee Miss Norma Conner. Mrs. Xelligar is also a great singer and a wonderful accompanist. They have both been in Europe and Italy studying music and are considered among the greatest singers in the world. Giving concerts in all the large cities abroad and GO TO “HOWARD’S” FOR ANDY IGARS IGARETTES WE HAVE IT ALL in America, they only consented to come here because Nebraska was at one time their home. They will give their program at the Orpheum, May 7, 8 and 9. Tickets are on sale now at the Orpheum. Seats ?10. Reservations $5. Editors Note—No doubt we will remember “Pat” Kelligar and Norma Conner and will want to see how they have succeeded in this world. Because of this we have arranged to sell tickets here. They may be procured at Howard’s Cafe at prices quoted above. HOW THIN FOLKS CAN PUT ON FLESH If you are thin and can’t put on flesh and get strong, no matter how much you eat, go to any reliable drug company and secure a bottle of “Iron-Flesh” for a three week’s treatment and take it as directed. If, at the end of three weeks, you don’t feel stronger and better than you have for months; if your eyes aren’t brighter and your nerves steadier; if you don’t sleep better, and your vim, vigor and vitality aren’t more than doubled; or if you don’t put on several pounds of good, stay-there flesh, you can have your money back and “Iron-Flesh” will cost you nothing. I have used this for the last four weeks and now weigh 140 pounds. I feel that this has done me so much good and sines other people are losing so much of their lives by not using this, I am giving up my career to take “Iron-Flesh” to them. —Pearl Guilliatt.

INDIA SEEMS AGREEABLE Last week the editor received a letter from Miss Bessie Combs who is now stationed in India. It may be of interest to some to learn that she is finding her work very satisfactory. Not merely content with htr results as missionary, she has studied medicine and is employing this means by which to reach the people of this distant country. Miss Combs seems well pleased with the results which her efforts have brought and intends to spend several more years of her life in India. She informs us that the climate agrees with her wonderfully and that it would be a good place for some of us to spend our leisure time. We extend to her our congratulations for success and best wishes for the future. DISPLAYED NEW TALENT The youthful pupils of Miss Laura Schriefer gave a delightful recital at the studio Wednesday afternoon. The parents and a few friends were present, who enjoyed very much the program rendered by the young people. The talent displayed shows that the future years will not be void of musicians. Their work shows what a splendid teacher Miss Schriefer is and will no doubt induce other parents to start their children along this line. page sixty IN WINTER In fall the air is clear and bright, The birds sing in the trees at night, The dogs and cats come out to fight, The owl hoots of his dismal plight. The bats and bugs are in the air, The frogs are croaking everywhere, The shadows seem as huge as bears— Can you imagine humans there? Miss Mayer has been on our staff several years and has written all our poetry. However, she is now going to make a “happy home of her own so leaves this as a parting poem. —D. Mayer. ANOTHER SURPRISE Called to Washington We are sorry to hear that Professor George Wright, who has been professor of our schools for the past six years has resigned his position. It seems that Professor Wright has made a wonderful discovery along the lines of chemistry and has been called to Washington, where he will be provided with funds sufficient to promote his discovery. Professor Wright has spent considerable study along these lines and has been the leader of science during his few years with us, so it is not surprising to hear that he has thus succeeded. We only regret that we should lose such a learned man from our high school. NEW FAD Are the numerous elopements a sign of the advance of ideas or another evidence of the spirit of daring in our young people? Elopments of old were considered rather shocking affairs to happen to one’s family. The conventional thing was a musical-beflowered-satin-and-veil wedding, with all the relations called in to take a last look at the bride and oo lies of rice and oid 3hces. Today the process is simplified. All that is needed is a fast train, a minister and license in some strange town, and all is complete. The latest runaway is Miss Emelyn Avey. The name of the groom was not mentioned in the wire received by her folks. It merely stated that she would be married by the time they received her wire. But Miss Avey will make Auburn her home so we will soon learn her new name. Pane I THE GAZE-AT-IT Miss Erma Bantz has just returned from abroad where she has been spending the last three years. She was in nearly every country of Europe, and Africa, England, China, Japan and she has some very interesting things to tell about the people and habits of these distant countries. It is also whispered about that there is a count who is following her home and will probably arrive here in about a month to take Miss Bantz back to France with him, but no longer as Miss Bantz. So we must hurry our preparations for her entertainment. We are very glad to have Miss Bantz home with us again and only regret that she cannot remain longer. FAITHFUL TEACHER RESIGNED Prof. G. E. Heacock who has been principal of our high school for the last twelve years has notified the school board that he will not be able to be with us next year. Mr. Heacock’s work has proven very satisfactory and all will feel dissapointed when they learn that this is his last year. Some of our great men and women of today ewe all their greatness to him. Senator Kite and President Milam both had him for a teacher and each sav they modeled after him. Anyone who has heard the celebrated opera singers, Mr. Ormund Kelligar and his wife, nee Miss Norma Conner, will not doubt their word for one moment when we tell you that they owe all their fame to him. Mr. Heacock was the one who gave them the best part of their training. In fact nearly everyone of those who have been under Mr. Heacock’s personal training have mads their mark in the world. It is then very unfortunate that we are to lose a great teacher who has probably done more for this old world than any other teacher of this age, in preparing others for their life’s work. We stop the press to say that we have just received word that our editor of the Gaze-At-It, Miss Opal Davis, has eloped with one of our local photographers, Mr. Arthur Hanson. Nothing will be given in it. PUBLIC AUCTION The Misses Pearl Doss and Rosella Bernard will auction their household goods at the corner o' Kith and R streets, Saturday, May 29, at 2 p. m. All the articles for sale are in the best of condition, having beer used less than three years. DON’T FORGET THE TIME, DATE AND PLACE. page sixty-on tn ar (Hlana JJlaij Tlio Senior Class Play given by the class of nineteen hundred and twenty was a rousing success. “Fi-Fi of the Toyshop” was a musical extravaganza in three acts under the supervision and direction of the John B. Rogers Producing Company. The play was given Monday and Tuesday evenings, April twelfth and thirteenth, nineteen hundred and twenty at the Rex theater. It was something different from anything ever given in Auburn. The interest of the audience was held throughout the play. The people of Auburn showed their approval and appreciation by their liberal patronage. The costumes and scenery aided much in the success of the play. The c.ist of characters, which included one hundred and seventy-five people, was selected by a talented committee with great care, and people were found to tit and act out splendidly each part. The play cleared $470, of which the class received $235.

And, in order to secure to those about us and to our posterity, the pleasure and inspiration derived from a most wonderful record of achievement, we do here collect and write, that all may read, the following constitution and history. ARTICLE I We rejoice when we think of the class spirit which even in our freshmen year led us to organize, elect officers and plan social events befitting a dignified class. The class of 1920 entered high school September 13, 1916, with an enrollment of sixty-thres and Miss McGrew acting as sponsor. Section 1. All legislative powers of the cbss shall be vested in a president, vice-president and secretary-treasurer, ehcted as fellows: Ruth Codington, president; Homer Storms, vice-president; Aha Culwell, secretary-treasurer; Leland L. Coryell, class editor. Section 2. Our class basket ball team won their first victory over the juniors and brought much honor to the freshmen class. Section 3. The assembly cf the upper classes was greatly surprised one morning by Ih freshmen icndeiing the following program: Irstrumetal Sole________________________________________________Marie Rowen Vocal Sole___________________________________________________Laura Schriefer Reading_________________________________________________________Pell Broady Chorus________________________________________________________Freshmen Boys Violin Solo_____________________________________________________James Clarke Reading_________________________________________________________Carol Rogers Selection by Mixed Quartet______________________________________________ _____ ______Iiowaid Mutz, Helen Carmen, Ruth Codington, Homer Storms Section 4. The first social event of the year is h-reby designated to be a reception given in our honor by the other classes of the high school. Scarcely had we recovered from this pleasant occasion when the juniors gavs an evening’s entertainment for the entire school. ARTICLE II Section 1. The election of officers in our sophomore year shall be composed of a cabinet of officers consisting of the following: Dean Mayer, president; Pell Broady, vice president; Howard Mutz, secretary- treasurer; Ruth Codington, class editor. Also we had the honor of having Miss Marie Russ as class sponsor. Section 2. We distinguished ourselves at the very beginning of this yoar by giving our yell with more vigor and enthusiasm than any other class of the school, even the seniors kept a discreet silence when the So-So-Pho-Mo-Mo-Res rent the air. Howard Mutz distinguished himself in athletics by playing on the first basket ball team. The sophomores also formed the majority of the all-star basket ball teams, one of the best in the school. Section 3. Much real talent has been displayed in this organization. Three from the high school male quartet are sophomores. Helen Carmen who is one of the best singers in the high school is a sophomore. James Clarke, one member of the dlass played in the orchestra. Also six of the sophomore boys took part in the junior play. Section 4. This organization did not work all the time. Besides the high school parties the sophomores enjoyed a weinner roast at Echo Park. page sixty-four ARTICLE 111 Section I. As juniors of the high school, in class we assembled and looking back upon unsurpassed record of attainments and look forward into a great field of duty and opportunity, we reorganized and elected the following officers: President---------------------------------------------------Pell Broady Vice President------------------------------------ .Gilbert Argabright Secretary-Treasurer________________________________________Zelda Redding Homer Storms was elected class editor but later resigned and Mildred Norton was elected in his place. About the middle of the first semester Gilbert Argabright quit school and Leland Coryell was elected to take his place. Miss Loy Goss was our sponsor. Section 2. We as juniors have the honor of being the first class of high school who have secured pins and rings. It was during this year that the first Y. W. C. A. was organized with three of its principal officers, juniors. Section 3. The junior play, “The New Co-Ed,” was given April 11 at the Rex Theater. It was a complete success. The net proceeds which were $167.35 were more than twice as much as any previous junior class has made. Section 4. The juniors gave a banquet in honor of the seniors at the high schooj gymnasium at seven o’clock on May 17, 1919. ARTICLE IV Section 1. The executive power is hereby vested in a president, Mr. Leland Coryell, who some eighteen years ago began to manifest his abilities to push and win. He is known among his classmates as an orator and has distinguished himself in several debates. Section 2. The office of vice president is by this assembly vested in Miss Helen Carmen. She first began practicing in the infant choir several years since. Section 3. The department of secretary of state is hereby vested in Miss Opal Davis, who is the only officer of the senior class that had the honor of completing her high school course the first semester.

Section 6. This organization is composed of twenty-seven members. The chief executive is by this clause vested in Mr. Geo. E. Heacock, who shall maintain order, restrict all class meetings and censor all writings. Section 7. This organization was invited to a “Kind Me” party which later resulted in being at the home of Miss Ruth Codington. A very enjoyable evening was spent and all departed wishing that parties came every night. The teachers made us think differently the next day. Section 8. Senior play. Section 10. The senior class shall accept only such ammendments to this constitution as will be imposed upon it by an ever-ambitious high school faculty. AMMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION ARTICLE I The senior class shall make no laws for the exercise of free speech and may assemble only with the consent of the high school faculty. ARTICLE II A well developed education being necessary to the formation of a bright class, an access to hard studying shall not be infringed. —BESSIE COMBS ’20 page sixty-five Class We, the most honored and much revered class of nineteen hundred and twenty, having attained a boundless knowledge, are now willing to lay aside our beloved books and give this notice our last will and testament, to the public. First, it is our will that the few debts, which we have not paid be paid by our numerous friends. Furthermore, we desire that hereafter no Junior, either on account of vast knowledge or deportment be allowed to occupy Senior seats as has been the case this year. Then again, if we knew that our great responsibility of seeing that the under class-men, especially the Freshmen, do not stay out too late at nights and that they get to school on time each morning, would fall upon Miss McGrew, we would be much happier as we depart. We most earnestly implore, that these small wants be carried out. We want given: 1. To Mr. Heacock, a promise that no class will ever again be entered in the A. H. S. that will cause him so many gray hairs as this class has done. 2. To Miss Bunting, all the lumber not used by the manual training boys so she can make crutches out of it. 3. To Arline Keister, Mildred Norton’s ability to charm a certain Sophomore boy. 4. To Elma Snyder, Helen Carman’s success as a youthful prima donna. 5. To the Sophs, Emelyn Avey’s originality. 6. To Miss Ernst, our deepest sympathy because of her position as Freshmen sponsor. 7. To Klain Williams, Opal Keedy’s motto, “Silence is Golden.” 8. To Lucile Kierns, Ruth Codington’s place at the piano every noon. 9. To James Conklin, Homer Storm’s prominent place in all A. H. S. activities. 10. To Miss Craig, a much earned rest after keeping the girls in the cloak room still. 11. To any other class, the terrible misfortune of being in Miss Stevenson’s room after a Freshmen program or some other wonderful event the Freshies had part in. 12. To Myra Biggerstaff, Laura Schriefer’s stature. 13. To Yvonne Harmon, Emelyn Avey’s freckles. 14. To Fay Dillard, the job of continuing all the flirtations started too late for the Senior girls to finish. 15. To Carl Brown, Riley Kite’s ability to get dates. 1(1. To Glenn Frary, Howard Mutz’s position as a basket ball star. 17—To Lloyd Lippold, a good stout rope to keep Helen in his clutches, as quite a few have “fallen” for her. 18. To Wilber Maclay, one of Leland Coryell’s cars, so that Miss Lindsey will not have to walk to school next year, when Leland is gone. 19. Eloise Conner, an essay on “How to become famous,” published by the class of '20. 20. To Gladys Lash, the great strain that has been for Edith Thomas to keep from laughing, so as not to spoil her complexion. 21. To Howard Ferneau, Dean Mayer’s practical ideas. 22. To Lucile Magor, enough of Ruth Codington's assumed dignity to keep her out of the ninth period. page sixty-six 23. To Barton Furlong, Howard Mutz’s position of laughing at all the witty remarks made by the rest of the class. 24. To Fern Waltz, Opal Davis’ capacity for seeing: the “spicy” side of life. 25. To Madge Argabright, Deva Armstrong’s great rush. 26. To Miss Killian, all the cakes, salads, etc., the domestic science girls could not eat. 27. To the freshmen, all the questions George Wright did not have time to ask. 28. To Rex Gage, Pat Kelligar’s theory of “How to slide through.” 29. To Henry Russell, Glover Milam’s ever ready joke, used in speeches given in the assembly. 30. To Helen Stuff, a continuance of her rapid promotion until she falls for something or someone else. 31. To Jessen Foyt, Pearl Guilliatt’s remarkable brain. 32. To Everett Connett, Pearl Doss’ extremely retiring nature. 33. To Helen Tankersley, Zelda Redding’s popularity among her classmates. 34. To Chester Combs, Pell Broady’s glasses. We hope they will enable him to see through chemistry equations, etc., as they have helped Pell. 35. To Lois Ord, Erma Bantz’s quiet ways in classes, assembly or in the hall. We do hereby constitute ar.d appoint George Heacock executor of this our last will and testament. And we direct that our said executor be not required to give any bond of security for the faithful discharge of said trust. In winess whereof, I, Norma Conner, have hereunto set my hand and seal this twenty seventh day of February, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty.

This staying up late and raring around is too hard on me. 1 haven’t made up my sleep yet. Gerald Simpson to Miss Lindsey—Why is it that when you stand on your head the blood rushes to it and when you stand on your feet it docsn’t ? Miss L.—Because your head is empty and your feet aren’t.

Dear Miss Barefacts: I have always wanted to see my picture in the paper for some reason. Could you tell me any way in which I could accomplish this? I am very popular with the beys and have beer told that I would be a regular “vamp” in the movies. I think I will be a movie star some day, only I am yet so young. If I would elope with a young man I scarcely know, do you think it would be exciting enough so that they wculd print my picture? I have an awfully good picture of myself. Dark Eyes, Faye Dillard. My dear, you are an aspiring one to be sure! Do you think your beauty will fade or why the hurry? Better stay at home and abide by good advice. Never think of eloping at so young an age and especially with a practically strange young man! There is a prosperous bakery in Omaha that is advertising fer a girl's face for their bread wrapper. You might try there, Dark Eyes. I will send you the address if you will send me a stamped and addressed envelope. Dear Miss Barefacts: I am coming to you again for a bit of advice, but this time not in search of a gentleman escort, but since I have acquired one I am in doubt about some things. He is a very dear boy and I like him very much, and he tells me he likes me too. The problem is this, each night he calls he brings large boxes of bonbons, and of late he has been presenting me with perfume—the swellest bottles—and rouge. Now Miss Barefacts. do you think it is right for me to accept these? I would like them but I want to do what is right. Please answer soon and if it is not proper tell me what I should say to him. Thanking you in advance. A Constant Reader, Norma Conner. I can tell by your letter that you are very young and inexperienced. As he is such an extremely fine young man I advise you to accept everything available.

I realize I must be chicken-hearted but tell me is that a serious fault in a man? My heart fills with grief as I write these lines to one whom I know will understand. Three days ago two poor starved kitties scratched entrentingly at my door. I couldn’t turn them out in the darkness, though I do have fourteen, and I love them all as brothers. Could you who have so many correspondents give me the names of two honest Christian families in whose hands I ctould place these homeless kitties? Please answer by return mail. A Lover of Kitties, James Conklin. I delight in seeing a man with so much kindness in his heart. I was beginning to think that they were almost extinct. You are surely doing your share in bettering humanity, if you have fourteen darling to care for now. The editor forbids the publishing of addresses in this column. If you will send me a stamped envelope I will gladly send you a list of reliable homes desiring companionship. Do write again—your letters fill my heart with joy. Dear Miss Barefacts: I am a Freshie in the Auburn High school. I am a boy of a gentle disposition, but my teachers are always picking on me. In the assembly a sweet boy, by the name of Rex, sometimes says something cute ( ?). As I have a very sunny nature, I laugh. Result—me for the place of the people sinned against—the ninth hour. Now Miss Barefacts. as my life is becoming more unbearable because of such unkind treatment I wish to know what to do? Shall I run away or stay on to the end, which is near. Yours despairingly. Perk. Dear child, never before in my many years as a misinformation bureau have I read such a pitiful letter. It is a cruel fate which places innocent children and brutes in the same world. My heart goes out to you. The best I can do for you is to advise you to consult a ouija board. L.—We do not have room to print your lengthy letter concerning your failure to get a “hubby.” But we will say this, that there would be fewer spinsters if the fair sex would be more careful about their makeup. Dear Miss Barefacts: I am a girl in the Senior class end am considered to be very popular with the girls. I have never become very well acquainted with many boys. Would you please print in your column the nanrvss of some boys who are not spoken for? I will even consider a Freshie. Bashful Opal Keedy. Owing to the fact that these answers are censored by our editor-in-chief, we cannot print any names. It would be useless, nevertheless, as most are already spoken for. Dear Miss Barefacts: Through several of my pupils I have heard of your splendid advice to the young. What would be a suitable punishment for gum-chewing, throwing notes and talking in the halls? Hoping to see my letter in print. I remain. A High School Ma’am. Owing to the present scarcity of white paper and the limited amount of space al-loted to this department we can answer only the most important letters. Dear Miss Barefacts: I am coming to you for help. Can the following problem be solved: Four men bought a cow for $fiO. A paid one-third of the amount; B one-fourth; C one-fifth and D one-sixth. How many dollars did each pay? Anxious Algebra IX Class. Ans. I pass. Dsar Miss Barefacts: I am a Senior boy and like many others I come to you for advice. Why does a girl always close her eyes when a boy kissss her? Curious Otto Smith. If you will send me your photograph, I may be able to answer your question. My Dear Miss Barefacts: I am greatly troubled by a peculiar situation that has happened to me. Knowing your ability for handling such questions, I am turning to you for your kind advice. This is the situation: Several times I have had dates with a certain little girl (excuse me, I can’t exactly say little, but you understand) for such things as the Junior-Senior banquet. Freshmen reception and basket b? 11 games. A week or two ago the north Methodist church started a series of revival meetings and in their advertising they used posters on which there was a red heart with “Warm Up Your Heart” printed on it. Now my question is, “How can an ice-man warm up anyone’s heart?” Wondering Riley Kite. An ice man cannot warm up anyone’s heart. More than likely her folks compelled her to go with him so that they might be well supplied with ice this summer.

Why Rex Gage has so many important engagements with all members of the faculty and especially with Mr. Heacock. Rex was heard to remark one day: “I’ll bet when Mr Heacock sees me coming he will say that here comes old regularity.” Why Milam, Furlong and Kelligar play with toy ballons. Why Storms spends so much time in the physics lab. Why Mutz and Storms faced the front and ceased whispering when politely asked to by Mr. Heacock one noon. They usually can’t be pursuaded so easily. Why Mutz spends so much time in front of the assembly talking to the teachers. Why Coryell hauls only part of the faculty down to dinner. Why Jessen Foyt never has his lessons. Why Frary is wearing a ’20 class pin. Why Storms’ telephone bill on a long distance call to Lincoln was $1.05 when the regular rate is 50c. We don’t blame Storms, we would talk over time too if we had such a nice party on the other end of the line. Why Miss Bunting moved E. Avey to the back of the room and Storms changed seats with Milam. Why Mr. Clark caused members of the staff so many sleepless nights by losing part of the material for the annual. Why Arlene K. and Norma C. have to bring one of their parents to school with them in order to get excused. Why Howard M. don’t get canned from history class. Storms—A woman can’t keep a secret. Miss Gregory—Oh T don’t know T'vo kept mv age a secret since 1 was twenty-four. Storms—Yes, but one of these days you’ll give it away. Miss G.—Well, I’ve kept it for twenty years and am not likely to give it away. page eighty-four VISIT OUR JEWELRY AND MUSIC STORE For thirty-six years we have sold ths best Pianos to be found on the market.

The senior boys have drawn up the following commands. Any of the fairer sex seeking their hand in the Holy Bands of matrimony will he required to commit to memory the following and obey to the letter ever after: These are the commands thou must obey, If thou wouldst be my wife for aye. Thou must never question me, When 1 get home at two-fifty three. Thou must always the fires make, And get my breakfast and fry my steak. Thou must always be cheerful and never pout, If you need a new hat and the money runs out. In talking no matter what the topic may be, As a dutiful wife give the last word to me. I’ll furnish the water, but thou must furnish the meat, And everything else, that we have to eat. If we’re lucky enough to own a farm, Thou must feed the cattle, and gather the corn, Thou must do the washing and scrub the floors, And extra time, thou must work out of doors. Thou must milk the cows and tend the sheep, Gather the eggs and the garden keep. Now we feel we have made the commands, Masy to keep and to understand. And we feel quite sure there’ll be chances a plenty. For the senior boys of nineteen-twenty. page ninety-four A Real Home Concern . GASOLINE KEROSENE Truck service' to all parts of the county.
