As usual, the Ford stopped on us—but close to Denver—and discovering nothing to do we walked to the nearest farm house. We knocked at the door, and guess who opened it—Faye Dillard, our old classmate. How glad we were to see her and her large family. The little twin girls, who were clinging to their mother’s dark gingham apron, left her and toddled out doors to meet their daddy who was coming in for dinner. He was whistling a gay Irish tune and as he picked up the twins and came toward the house, we noticed a familiarly rumpled marcel and a well-worn scarlet and green sweater. After this vague introduction we were not at all surprised to find it was Leo Bourke. As we departed Mr. and Mrs. Bourke and their other eight children helped us to carry out a well-filled basket and a can of gasoline. On arriving in Denver and as we were going up Poplar Avenue we noticed a throng of people gathered about the court house door. When we stopped near the corner, awaiting for the traffic cop to give us the signal to go on, we noticed something familiar about him. He was a tall, lanky fellow, and as we passed we found it to be our old classmate—James Conklin. After parking, we went back to see James who was very glad to see us. He said he had been in Denver trhee years and had just recently married a cunning little cabaret dancer. We asked James what the excitement was about. He infoimed us that it was the famous Lippold divorce case. Heavens! Could it be possible?!?! What, Lippold??? Whom did he marry? So that was the lesult of all those school day squabbles when Helen was “Stuff” and Lloyd was just her pal. We were shocked beyond wits when we found that the cause of the divorce case was that Lloyd had tried to elope with Grace Irene Blount, who was then an aesthetic dancer of New York, while Helen and the children were visiting Miss Madge Argabright who is a manicurist in Chicago. The time set for the wedding at Bracken was drawing near, so we hurriedly bid adieu and traveled on. As we were about five miles out of Denver we saw a party of suffragettes walking toward us and carrying banners. As we drew closer together, we ncticed two women in the lead, one carrying a large banner on which was printed in large letters, “Vote for M. Stoneman.” The name was familiar, so we slowed down to read their banners. We were interested in reading that one which had said, “Vote for M. Stoneman,” and also said, “A graduate of Auburn, Nebraska, High School.” Could it be our Mabel from the A. H. S.? Sure enuff! There she was as maiden-like and rosy-cheeked as ever, and walking by the banner-carrier, Carol Rogers. None of us had much spare time for the suffragettes had to be in Denver in an hour, and we were also in a hurry. About half way between Denver, Colo., and Alliance, Nebraska, we stopped at a little school house to get water for the radiator. And of course, to be polite, we stepped up to the door to ask if we might get some water. Just as we knocked, we heard a voice which seemed rather familiar, and it said, “Just be a nice boy now.” Well, when the teacher finally appeared it was no other than Marguerite Nelson cf A. H. S. She informed us that she had been teaching school while her husband was proving up on a claim not farm from the school house. We wanted to know the lucky fellow, and were informed that it was Glenn Culwell. She said they were prospering and she hoped to come back to Auburn in a few years to visit her old friends. 1 J)21 We drove on, but not far for the car bucked, and we worked about an hour and decided to phone for a service man. He managed to pull us into the nearest town. We became quite well acquainted, and in our conversation he said he knew a young lady that used to live in Auburn, and a graduate from the high school there. We inquired who it was, and it proved to be Arlene Keister, who was then selling tickets at the Rialto in Saint Louis. He had the car repaired at last so we arrived in Alliance, Nebraska, where we were stranded by a storm. We could do nothing else but stay all night; as the Empress Theater was close to the hotel, we managed to get there without getting drenched. The show was very good, especially the “Cutie Twins,” and we learned afterwards that they were Gladys Lash and Catherine LaVigne. From Alliance to Lincoln, we had fine luck with the flivver as it didn’t upset a single time, and only got into four ditches. We felt quite near to our old school when we arrived in Lincoln, and decided to spend a day there before going on to Auburn. Since we had heard that Mabel Brown woiked in Woolworth’s ten cent store we thought we would drop in and see her. She told us that she had always been madly in love with Gerald Simpson, but had near ly had to give up hope of gaining him because of Myrtle Johnson’s stubbornneess. You see when Gerald went to play his violin for the country dances Myrtle had always been asked to sing and dance for the people, and then of course Gerald would take Myrtle home, and of course Myrtle would pull at his heart strings. But Myrtle finally had married Arthur Blount who was in partnership with a large show company. In the afternoon we went to Antelope Park and drove up by the zoo and were feeding the monkeys peanuts and popcorn when the lady-keeper bellowed at us and asked us if we had permission to feed those animals! And then we laughed in her face when we saw it was Elma Snyder!!! We came on down to Auburn the next day and stopped at Coryell Son’s to get some gasoline. They had put up a new building since our last visit at Auburn and when we stopped to get a new inner tube we had to go to the top store in the elevator. When we stepped into the elevator it shot upward at a speed that nearly extinguished our breath. We turned around to say something to the elevator girl and were not surprised in the least when we saw it was Lucile Magor. Then we went on to Bracken. When we reached Armstrongs there were guests there, among whom was Helen Combs who was to play the wedding march at Lucy’c and Bart’s wedding. We learned that Mildred Shook and William Wulf could not attend the wedding because they were both in Europe. Mildred had been studying voice and William science. They were recently married. When the time for the wedding came, we met Glenn Fraiy who was to be the best man and who was working on an ice wagon in Bracken. The greatest shock of the trip was when the Catholic Priest came in. We hardly recognized Henry Russell in that garb, but neverthless it was he. He hardly looked natural since he had absolutely abandoned all flirting habits which he had in high school days. Because of our attachment to our former home, we decided to spend the summer in Bracken, but due to lack of time and space, we will not give any further infoimation we have recently gained. —‘‘THREE PROPHETS.” i� 2i A II S CLASS WILL We, the most honered and much revered class of nineteen hundred and twenty-one, having attained a boundless knowledge, are now willing upon our departure to give this notice, our last .vill and testament to the public. First, we give and bequeath our beloved two rows of seats to the Junior class, also our dignity, which we trust to them to uphold with all seriousness, and even though it be unnatural, may they try to wear it becomingly. Secondly, we give Mr. Schmidtke and Mr. Heacock the right to postpone any or all of the Senior parties in the future as they see fit or as the spirit moves them. Furthermore, we earnestly implore and tearfully beg that these small wants be carried out. We want given: 1. To Ilda Schriefer and Klain Williams, Gladys Lash’s diminutive height, to be divided equally between them. 2. To Chester Combs, Henry Russell’s nerve among the “ferns.” 3. To Francis Kinghorn, Faye Dillard’s neat coiffure, and also her place before the mii-ror in the cloak room. 4. To Karina Klein, Madge Argabright’s almighty rush. 5. To Theresa Rogge, Arlene Keister’s wonderful eyes. 6. To Mamie Avey, Mable Stoneman’s “gift of gab.” We will expect great things from you in the future, Mamie. 7. To Floyd Armstrong, William Wulf’s remarkable brain. 8. To Howard Pasco, Mable Brown’s “Well, I don’t know.” Say it slow and easy, Howard. 9. To Grace Watkins, Yvonne Haimon’s complexion. 10. To Mona Black, Faye Dillard’s sunny nature. 11. To Eugene Perry, Glen Culwell’s chestnut tresses. Curly! Curly! Curly! 12. To Verna and Marlin, Irene and Arthur B'.ount’s ponies, so they won’t have to start to school at daylight. 13. To Ira Admire, Bill Maclay’s height. 14. To Claude Williams, Barton Furlong’s musical ability. 15. To Mr. Schmidtke, the right to “check off” all our names after we depart form thence. 16. To Helen Frary, Marguerite Nelson’s modesty. 1921 NtllllllllUIIIIMII MllmillllllUIIIUIMIUIIUIIIIHIIIUIHIIIIIIIIINIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIItllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllUIII A II s 1H1I 17. To Margueret Gillan, Lucille Keirns’ bird-like voice. 18. To Jessen Foyt, all of Gerald Simpson’s extra credits. 19.

To John Broady, Kenneth Watkins and Rex Gage we give Lloyd Lippold’s, Glenn Frary’s and Barton Furlong’s places on the Basketball team. Bill acted stubborn and played pig with his. 21.

Break this to her gently because she didn’t know we had them. 33. To Johanna Jezewski and Audry Milam, Gladys’ and Katherine’s “bathing beauty” complexions. 34. To Mary Sellers, Lucille Harris and Lillian Hylton, the ability of all the members of this class to keep quiet and our respectful attitude towards visiting speakers. Lastly, we do hereby constitute and appoint Henry Schmidtke the sole executor of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof we, the Class of 1921, as testators by our legal representative, Helen Comb's, have hereunto set our hand and seal this seventh day of March, nineteen hundred and twenty-one. iiiiiiiiiiMiHiimimiiiiuiiuiiiuii (SEAL) —HELEN COMBS. CLASS HISTORY It was a beautiful sunshiny morning about the middle of April, one of those mornings when you much prefer to be out of doors roaming around in the warm sunshine rather than inside at a table piled with books and papers trying to write a Class History and yet it is just such a morning as would carry you back four years to the time when this notorious and distinguished class filed into the assembly and with a scared look slipped into their seats. Gradually when we discovered the upper classmen intended to let us live and the faculty didn’t throw us out of the window we gained our self-confidence, until now at the end of four years we are confident that we have the whole world beaten. The first year we were sponsored by Miss Johnson and under her supervision we were able to break the monotony of our dearly loved Latin and Algebra by several class parties and picnics. As sophomores, with Miss Stevenson as sponsor, we were able to survive the second round very much as we did the first. A very enjoyable colonial party being among the diversions. And then, behold! We were Juniors and our self-confidence began to manifest itself on every side. The Junior Play of that year, “All On Account of Polly,” was a splendid success. Likewise, the Junior-Senior reception, a roof garden carnival was a great success. Following this we were glad to usher in the Seniors for the Commencement Program because then we would soon be Seniors. In this, our final year, we have again undergone and withstood all the usual trials and ceremonies to which the Seniors generally fall heir. The officers for the Senior year were elected as follows: President______________________________________________________________Barton Furlong Vice President ____________________________________________________Madge Argabright Secretary______________________________________________________________Myrtle Johnson Treasurer______________________________________________________________Yvonne Harmon There is a saying that history repeats itself but we are confident that no class, however great and mighty, could repeat in four short years the history which we have made and furthermore we do not believe that they would if they could. —YVONNE HARMON. A II S .■■MIIIIIIHIIIIItlllllllllllllMMIIJIIIIIt THE SENIOR PLAY The annual must go to press before the Seniors will give their play. The Rogers Producing Company is again directing the work and everybody who saw Fi-Fi last year knows that the Seniors will have an excellent program again this year. The Seniors are rehearsing a brand new up-to-the-minute musical fantastique. The play is Oriental and American, the first scene being laid in India at the private temple of the Maharajah of Hunga, and the second at the home of Mrs. Chattie-Gaddin in New York. Among the principal roles are: Katcha-koo, a fakir; Maharajah of Hunga. an East Indian Romeo; Dick Horton, a collector of antiquities. Others assume the roles of Oriental ladies, priests, slaves, attendants, polo dancers, etc. The play tell an interesting story of an aviator, who lost in India, masquerades as an Oriental Fakir and meets with many thrilling adventures. A vein of rich comedy runs through the piece, and there aie novel and brilliant musical and spectacular effects. The patriotic idea predominates throughout, and there is a wonderful finale entitled. “Liberty Aflame,” in which all the Allied Nations participate. All the Seniors participate in this play; also many Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen make up some of the groups. Below are some of the roles and the names of persons by whom played: Katcha-koo______________Barton Furlong Dick Horton________________Lloyd Lippold Harry Bradstone____________Henry Russel Maharajah _________________Glenn Frary Dolly_____________________Lucile Keirns Prudence__________________Gladys Lash Mrs. Chattie Gaddin--------Mable Brown Solejah___________________Lucile Magor Urbanah__________________Mable Stoneman Chinese Wife________________Elma Snyder Brazilian Wife-----Madge Argabright Irish Wife ___________Yvonne Harmon French Wife_________________Catherine LaVigne America________________Arlene Keister Doodypah_______________________James Conklin Device Bearer_________James Naysmith Gong Bearer___________________Gerald Simpson Slave One_______________Arthur Blount Slave Two _________Chas.

'I'III••Hilt •llimtllllllMllllffHIIHHIItllltM SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY It was plainly seen that when Mr. Schmidtke came into the assembly of knowledge and had his first view of the students of the High School, his eyes were attracted by the students in the rows which were in the central part of the room. He found that they were Sophomores. After a few weeks Miss Ernst was appointed sponsor of the class. By reason of previous experience, they were pleased very much. A meeting was called and the following officers were elected: Prsident....................................Dayton Maclav Vice President ..........................Myra Biggerstaff Secretary.....................................Dorcas Wells Treasurer................................Johanna Jezewski The Sophomores assisted the Juniors ; n l Seniors in giving the Freshmen a reception at the Quarry Park. This completed the initiation of the Freshmen. Soon after this, the Sophomores cooperated with the Freshmen and had the first party of the vear in B e srvmnasinm where thev enioved themselves in many games. After manv months had passed hv. th v again had a party on March 4 and Bus was a great success also. In athletics the Sonbomores were not outclassed. In Football although they did not have a regular rer r sntative Ralnh Williams plaved right guard in several games. In Basketball. Davton Maclav substituted several times, and three members of He second team were Sophomores. Ralph Williams and Howard Ferneau plaved guard and Dayton Maclav played forward. Ilda Schriefer played center on the girls’ team. LaVeta Hanlon and Frances Kinghorn belong to the Debating Club. The former debated before the assembly on the negative side of th« question, “Resolved, that Immigration Should be Stopped.” Howard Ferneau. whose bass voice is known to everv one. was elected yell leader for the whole school and gave an exhibition of bis sonorous voice at football and basketball gam� s. The Sophomores certainly wish to express their appreciation to Miss Ernst for her leadership in planning parties and other successful events during the year. —CFBHRT L.

The reason we are green looking is because we loved our H. S. colors, so we brought the prettiest color with us. If you are determined, however, to call us greens we want to inform you we are not dandelions but cultivated greens. Shortly after the beginning of the term, Miss McGrew was appointed our sponsor and we had our first class meeting. We elected the following officers: Helen Frary ......................................President John McKnight................................Vice President. Margaret Gillan.....................Secretary and Treasurer A picnic was given in honor of the Freshmen by the other classes. It was better than any reception ever given to Freshmen before. Other social events were held during the year including a Sophomore and Freshmen party. Division II in English gave Division A a hard time party which was not only a success but proved the ability of the B Division as entertainers. We are well represented in athletics, although we are only Freshmen. John Boyd, Bert Flack, John McKnight and Walker Admire were on the football team. Helen Frary and Margaret Gillan were substitutes on the Girl’s Basket Ball team. We are very proud of these facts and we are sun there will be others to be proud of in the coming years. Tin first semester the enrollment of Freshmen in the Glee Club was very large. The second semester, several had to drop out on account of the course they were taking. The enrollment in Gym was also very large, most of the class being made up of Freshmen. We feel that much has been accomplished along these lines. The last part of March the Freshmen entertained the other classes by giving several numbers consisting of the following: A reading, intsrumental solo, vocal solo, and an instrumental duet. We have had a very successful year of which a great part was made possible by the efficient leadership of Miss McGrew to whom we owe our thanks. ' !T ' T Tin class have adopted the following yell: A-Ching-a-Ling, A-Cliing-a-Ling, A-Chee-Wa-Chee. A-Boom-a-Rang, A-Boom-a-Rang, A-Who-Are-We Freshies, Fresliies, don’t you see? —Pauline Rohrs.

'millll lltllMlllllllllliMniillillllilMMMllllll|l||lllliaMVIIIIIMIiaillll� UlllllllllllllinNMIHiiMlllllli ADMIRE “Walker” played guard and was both a strong offensive and defensive player. He worked hard for the team. Since this is his first year at High school, many things are expected of him in the next three years. BOLRivE Old “Irish” will be greatly missed next year from his end position. He was a fast and furious player, fast when it came to getting after a pass and when after his man and furious when he reached his man. He played every minute of every game. BOYD Although “John” did not get to play very much, he played enough to prove that he will be a regular on the first team next year. He also has a “peach” of a drop-kick. � MM«HimwiMHmtimtmtnmniwtuinitmuitnutttminuimnnnmiunnnnn mm Miuuiwwnmiiiiun ntimniiiiiinntNiiiniMinitttiuiutuNnniiiuii 1921 iMuiaumimiiiiitmtftiitumioniiiniimtmuu iMiNMNiniiiiiiiiNinitiinMmN«niiiMMnn|iiiiiii A II S BROADY “Cowboy” who is Captain of next year’s team is our left half-back and believe me he is sure a real one. He seldom missed his man and say how he could ride through their lines and make large gains was awful. And he rode that way through every minute of every game. COMBS “Chester” played center, and to him belongs credit for always playing a good and steady game. He is a sure tackier, and the opponent that came through “Ches” was given credit for being a good man. He will be with Auburn next year. CONKLIN “Jim” who was the other guard was another of the steady, go-get-’em players. He always played his best which was very good, and the only regret is that he will not be back again next year to fill his old position. 1921 CULWELL “Glenn” had more hard luck than any one else on the team. He was in the midst of his glory, in the middle of the second game, when he broke several bones in his foot. This mishap put him out of the game for the year. He was missed in the game by both the players and spectators. FLACK “Bertie” the tall boy was sure there at getting throuh the other team’s liies and nabb.r.g the man with the ball. And oh, how he can run He is another beginner at High School this year an deverybody expects to see him carry the Scarlet and Gieen colors again next year. FRARY “Glenn” played several different positions this season including half-back, full-back and tackle. He was capable of filling any one of the positions and do the job right. He was good at carrying the ball and tackling. He made the longest run of the season, 99 yards for a touchdown. •niiiniiMi iiHiiiii.........in 11)21 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiMii iiiiiiiiuf iiiiii o 11 iMniiHniiUHiMMiniMmiiiuiiiiiiiimnitiinim iniimiintiiniiiitmiiiiiiniiiiiuirmitmiiiiittiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii •qDJB.lOS b jnoqjjAv paaaAoaaa pus ‘ubui siq joa ‘a.iaqj sbav aq iBipvv jnq aDB(d qooj a3Biutuuios b X[pjBq joj , jaXBig Xqatvq aqj,„ ‘pailBO aq jqaiui ‘os|B ag 'aaAjasqo aAijuaqjBui jsoui aqj jo uoijuaqjB aqj Avaap qaiqAV aauuBiu b ui jt pip puB qaBq-jiBq paXBjd pjoddiq -jaXBid pooa b sb gaAv sb aapBaj juaiaijja puB a[qB ub aq oj paAOid ‘uiBaj yBqjooj aqi jo Xbjs uibui aqj , pjoddiq uiBjdBQ,, aioddm •JBaX jxau aajjsnb jb qatjq aq [[im ajj -putui anoX aSusqa giAV noX puB aauo unq qajBAv oj si op oq aABq noX ijb XB[d j,ubo aq jBqj quiqj noX ji Xbs jnq aaXsjd jjBqjooj b paiJBD aq oj [[buis aaqjBJ si ag uaqaiq-doap puB qDBq-aajjBnb aBjs-gB aqj, [Avap aqj i.Xaag,, aovf) MBaX jxau apeq aq jou ijiav j-iBg jsqj Xjaos si XpoqXaaAg -b ob} jb sauq s(uiBaj jaqjo aqj qanqiqq SuijjaS JB uajjaq sb aq jnq auy uoijisod aqj paXB[d pua qaBq-jajaBnb jb jno pajjBjs ag -uiaqj jo Xub jb pooa sbav puB suoijisod IB.13A3S paXBjd (i}aBg„ ONoanna ■iiiiiniHinMiMtiniuiMMiiiimHmmiHiMtttiNtiiiiiiniimiiMiiiHiiMiitiiuiKuiii A II S IIUIMMIIItlMIIIIMmiNIIIMl MACLAY It was just hard luck for the team that old “Suicide” did not start playing before he did. He never started until late in the season but when he took his place at tackle he sure went after his man. He also has a long and sure forward pass. PARIS Although “Lynn” did not get to play very much he is one of next year’s team. He played tackle and he can be depended upon to get the man with the ball. WATKINS “Kenneth” was full-back on this year’s team and he certainly was a real one. He often made many yards on line plunges. He also made a large percentage of Auburn’s touchdowns. In addition to the al ove he was the punter and also did a lot of the passing. He is large and next year he will be the best full-back that Auburn will have for a long time to come. 1921 iinimniniuHniiiHiii A II S Mcknight “Jack,” our Freshman football wizard has lived up to the expectations of his classmates in that he played in every game won by Auburn this year. Jack played guard and end and was a very quick and active player. He had the reputation of never letting a man around his end. He still has three more years in which to uphold his reputation. STIVERS “Estel” who played the other end was also a real player. He was a sure tackier and was good at catching forward passes. His leaving town is hard luck for next year’s team. WILLIAMS “Williams” was the beefy guard, and was one of the main reasons why few men passed our lino. He still has two years to play with Auburn, and will prove to be as successful in the future as he has been in the past. HEACOCK The boys on the football squad think that Coach Heacock is the best sport in the Auburn High School, They are certain that to him belongs the credit for their every accomplishment and splendid fellowship. Every night after school, for about two and one-half months, he gave his time and coached the team. The team will always appreciate Mr. Heacock’s work with them, and in their memories of football experience, he will retain a very prominent place. 1921 A H S ill FOOTBALL As soon as school had started this year, all the boys began to talk football. The Auburn High School had not had a football team for about 18 years because (at that time, so rumor says) the School Board had prohibited it, but this year they had consented to let the boys have a team if they wanted one and they surely did. About two weeks later a meeting was held for all the boys who were interested and wanted to play. There were about 25 boys present and all were very enthusiastic about playing. Mr. Heacock, who had consented to be our coach, then ordered a football and practice began. The next Saturday, Glenn Frary, Barton Furlong, Lloyd Lippold, Mr. Schmidtke and Mr. Heacock went to Lincoln where they bought fifteen football suits and other necessary things. The first football game that the Auburn High School played this season was at Nebraska City on October 1st. Although Auburn did get the small end of the score, which was 48 to 13, the team played a very good game, considering the fact that it was the first game they had ever played. Everyone of Auburn’s men played an excellent game. Frary was the star, making an exceptionally long run, 99 yards for a touchdown. On October 8th Auburn played their second game with the Tecumseh High School at Auburn. The only good luck that Auburn seemed to have was a good field. The visiting team was a fast and beefy squad, avei-aging much more than the Auburn team. When the Tecumseh team came on the field they had 30 players suited and ready to play. The game which was hard fought was very one sided, the final score being 60 to 0 in Tecumseh’s favor. Culwell, who played left tackle for Auburn, had the misfortune to dislocate a bone in his foot, and had to discontinue playing for the rest of the season. The Auburn team journeyed to Beatrice on October 15th, where they played the Beatrice Reserves. The Reserves made both of their scores early in the game, the first on a trick pass and the second on Auburn’s inexperience. Nevertheless it was agreed by those who saw the game that great improvement was noticable in the work of the Auburn team. The Reserves were unable to penetrate our line for any material gains, while our interference on the offensive was very effecive. Auburn again met defeat, 14 to 0. While in Beatrice the Auburn team was priviledged to see the game between Beatrice High School and Omaha Commercial High in which the latter won 14 to 7. On October 22nd the Highland Academy came to Auburn and defeated the High School team in a good, fast, clean game by a score of 18 to 0. The Highland team which was composed of older and larger fellows than the home team, was a very clean and fast squad. They made most of their gains by farward passes and long ends runs. The Auburn team resorted to short end runs and were able to negotiate a few successmul passes. On Friday, October 29, the Auburn team motored to Falls City. The game was fast and hard fought all the way through. In the first two quarters Falls City made four touchdowns on fake line plunges, end runs and forward passes. Near the end of the third quarter Bourke recovered an open fumble on Auburn’s 20 yard line and then it happened. By a series of line plunges, Auburn carried the ball to Falls City’s 35 yards line. Then a pass netted 10 yards and line plunges 5 yards more. Watkins make the last 20 yards on a fake pass. Watkins kicked the goal. In this last quarter Falls City made 12 more points, making the final score 38 to 7. lUununnuiniMNMiMWMHiniiiuiNiiiiiiM 1921 iiniwiWMnwmiiiiiiimiuMmmiiu A II S Auburn 33—Beatrice Reserves 0. That is the result of the game played on Auburn’s field November 17, after the game had been twice postponed. Auburn, by line plunges and short end runs carried the ball over for a touchdown in the first three minutes of play. Beatrice made their downs only twice, while Auburn did not fail to do so more than that. Every man on the Auburn team showed great improvement over the last few weeks. The features of the game were line smashes by Watkins, who was greatly assisted by Frary and Flack at tackles. Combs at center was a very discouraging element for Beatrice and prevented several of their long end runs from being successful. Gage at quarter showed some great possibilities for next year. And so we might name the whole team, but you saw the game and know the story. The Auburn football team invaded Kansas Saturday, November 20, and came back Sunday morning about 4 a. m. In the first quarter, Auburn made a touchdown by line plunges. Just before the quarter ended, Highland also registered 7 points. In the second quarter Highland again scored by making a touchdown on a long end run. The second half Auburn weakened while Highland opened up with many passes and long end runs which netted them many yards, so that a touchdown was scored in each of the last quarters. The game ended 28 to 12 with Highland on top. Auburn 30—Weeping Water 7. That is the record of the last and most exciting game of the season. It was played at Weeping Water on Thanksgiving Day. The boys all felt that they had many things to be thankful for: they had a big (?) duck dinner, they won the game, no one was injured, and last but not least, they all got home. In the first quarter Auburn intercepted a pass cn their 40 yard line and started back down the field, scoring a touchdown on straight playing. Auburn then received the ball and worked the ball down to the 20 yard line where Gage scored on a drop-kick. In the second quarter Weeping Water scored a touchdown on a pass. In the third quarter Frary broke away on a cross tackle fake and ran (50 yards for a touchdown, but forfeited a chance to kick goal. In the last lap Watkins made two more touchdowns, mainly on fake passes and long runs, and thus Auburn ended their football season with a victory. The letter men of the Auburn High School Football team are: Walker Admire, John Broady, Leo Bourke, Chester Combs, James Conklin, Bertie Flack, Glen Culwell, Glenn Frary, Barton Furlong, Rex Gage, Wilber Maclay, Lloyd Lippold, Lynn Paris, Estel Stivers, and Kenneth Watkins. A most excellent banquet, served by the ladies of the Auburn Methodist church, was given to the High School Football team by the student body to show their appreciation of the efforts of the team to establish this all-American game in the school once more. In addition to the team, about fifty members of the student body and faculty attended the banquet. Immediately after the feed, Toastmaster Heacock called for the following toasts: The Kick Off, Captain Lloyd Lippold; Boosts, Glenn Frary; Side-Line Pep, Lucile Magor; Knocks, Rex Gage; The Second Down, Captain-elect John Broady. Mrs. McCullough then entertained with several very enjoyable readings. And so the Football Team of the Auburn High school of 1920 ended their season and we feel that considering the inexperience of the boys and their small amount of knowledge of the game that they had a very successful season. We are sure that Auburn will have a real team next year because one year’s experience makes a lot of difference. Although six of the players of this year’s team graduate there are many more to fill their places. The team of 1921 already has it’s schedule filled and some mighty fast and interesting games can be promised, so when the season starts next fall, buy a season ticket and boost the boys to a winning season. 1921 A II IHIIIMIMIMUIMIttlMINnilllHIIIIIItlHfiiii Can’t you tell who he is by his picture? You may not know his name is Leo Bourke, but you surely can tell he is Irish—and all the way through too. Leo did not get to play very much this season, but we are sure that if he had been called upon that he would have filled the position in the most satisfactory way. He is very fond of keeping his man near him and his foot has peculiar habits. Bourke is another senior who will be missed from High School next year. John Broady, who substituted last year, played running guard this year, and filled his position very well. He is a ver-y fast man and played the whole floor, and both marked up points for Auburn and spoiled the opponents shots. John played in all the games but one and was greatly missed in that one. As he is a junior this year, he will be on Auburn’s team again next season. Glen Frary, who played forward, occupied the same position that he had last year. This is also his third year. Glenn was a good man at running the floor; was able to keep the opponents from scoring and also helped build up Auburn’s score. He was accurate in his passing and handling of the ball, and was exceedingly good at long shots, and made the most points for Auburn this year. Everyone is veiy sorry that he will not be back next year for he will be a great loss to the team. 1921 lIlMIlllllliuiliii'iiMiiwiuiiiliHuioiiiimiHiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiMimiUlU'fl'hhIMbUUUnilMt'ni II Barton Furlong, played his first year for Auburn this season; he played stationary guard and filled his position to perfection. Although he stuck to his place all of the time he made more goals than any other stationary guard Auburn ever had. He made most of his goals from the middle of the floor. The main reason that the other team’s score was always lower than Auburn’s was Barton, because he was sure there at guarding. He will be greatly missed from his position next year. Lloyd Lippold, although the smallest player on the team, is without doubt one of the fastest men on the floor. Playing and filling the position of right forward very efficiently, being always on the joh, shooting goals and: covering his man. We are sure that Auburn will never develop as an efficient a player as Lippold has been. Wilbur Maclay, the Captain of this year’s team, played his third year for the Auburn High School. This year he played center. “Andy,” measuring over 6 feet in height, got the knock-off at center practically all the time. He is a fast man and is “right there” at both guarding and throwing goals. He was foul goal thrower and made a large number of his shots. He will be back next year, and with the aid of Broady will form the nucleus for a good team for the season of 1922. xuiiuiiiiiiiimmiiuiuiiNiiiiiiuiuiwii 1921 PlillllMI A II S Kenneth Watkins, another substitute, could have filled any position on the team and have done it satisfactorily. He will be back next year to take a regular place on the team. He is large and fast, and sure knows how to “rough” them. He did not get to play much this season—only a few minutes (to be exact, it was 3 minutes)—but in those several minutes he made a personal foul so you may know that when he goes in he means business. Chester Combs substituted at the beginning of the year and he will be another of next year’s team. He is tall and will show a good chance at center. He also is a good man at guarding and has an eye for baskets. He played for Auburn in the game with the Nebraska School for Deaf in Omaha and has proved what he is. He will be a valuable man next year. Dayton Maclay played in the game with the Nebraska School for Deaf at Auburn. If you were there, you know that he will be good material for next year and will probably be a forward on the first team. He is fast and is very good at making baskets. Besides all this he is a brother of “Andy” and so you know what is to be expected from him in the next two years. Mr. Schmidtke was the coach of the Basket Ball team this year. This is Mr. Schmidtke’s first year in Auburn and we feel that he has done well in handling the team. He scheduled all the games for the team and took care of the financial end of the business. The team thanks Mr. Schmidtke very cordially for all he has done to help the team in any and every way and hope he will be back again next year to take care of the boys again. I i)21 BASKET BALL Basket Ball is undoubtedly the most favorite sport looked forward to by the High School students, and was supported with much enthusiasm the entire school year. Also, many town people have became enthusiastic boosters for the team because the boys have shown themselves worthy of their support. Record breaking crowds, which were the largest that had ever been in Auburn’s gymnasium, were always present, especially so when Nebraska City came to Auburn. Many people had to go back home because they were unable to see the game. The receipts for the season were $1,008.30. As soon as football season was over, Basket Ball was practically the only thing that could be heard among the boys. It was only several days later that Mr. Schmidtke, who was to coach the team, called a meeting of all those who were interested in Basket Ball. About 30 boys were present and all were anxious to make either the first or second team. For the next week came practice. Some of the hoys either discouraged by t heir chance of making the first or second team or on account of having to stay for the ninth period, dropped out so that only about eighteen were there for practice. After several weeks Mr. Schmidtke selected the boys who were to be on the first team. Four old players were there from last year and they were given their former positions. Wilbur Maclay, center, Barton Furlong and Lloyd Lippold, forwards, and John Broady, running guard. Barton Furlong was chosen to play the other guard. The substitutes were hard to choose but Leo Bourke, Kenneth Watkins, Chester Combs and Davton Maclay played in turn. These boys represented the Auburn High School in Basket Ball, and they made a real team. They were a great success, taking the championship of Southeastern Nebraska. Tin1 team won 13 games out of the 17 that they played. Several days before the first game a meeting was held by the first team and Wilbur Maclay was elected Captain and he did wonderfully well in handling the team. Auburn 31-Humboldt 20 On December 17th, Auburn played their first game of the season Humboldt came to Auburn, feeling sure that they had an easy game with a victory. Auburn High also expected to beat them and they were not dissappointed in the least. After a fast game Humboldt went home defeated, but before they left Auburn they said they would even things up when Auburn came to Humboldt to play Auburn 25—Auburn American Legion 13 As all other towns, the Auburn American Legion organized a team and as they thought the Auburn High School team looked easy they challenged them to a game. The game was played on December 22. The Legion team was composed of Hughes, Kllis, Leeper, Dakan, Wilson, Cooper, Davis and Milam They out weighed the High School team by many pounds, but size and weight is not everything in Basket Ball, and it was not long before they realized this fact. When the final whistle blew the score was 25 to 13 in favor of the High School. Auburn 26—Plattsmouth 17 On January 7, Coach Schmidtke took the Aubumites to Plattsmouth. They boarded the 1:29 train in the highest of spirits. Plattsmouth has always had a very fast and efficient team. It is a long time since Auburn took a team up there and carried home the bacon, but it was done this year. It was the fastest game that any Auburn team ever played and at the end of the first half the score was 9 to 10 in Auburn’s favor. In the last half the score was tied several times but the Plattsmouth team could not keep in step with the Auburn boys and at the last of the game they were not able to connect with the ball and Auburn won. Auburn 13—Humboldt 4 On January 14th the team journeyed down to Humboldt to play the return game. They left Auburn about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, going down in Rogers’ truck. Humboldt’s gymnasium was about as long as ours and about one-half as wide. Auburn’s five-man defense worked to a perfection and at the end of the first half tin score stood 13 to 4 in Auburn’s favor. Humboldt made 2 of their 4 points by free throws. Then the lights went out and as they said they did not know how soon the lights would be on again the game was ended and Auburn had another victory to their string. Auburn 24—Peru 4 The next day, Saturday, the Peru High School thought that they would like to have a shot at Auburn. Peru had won from all the teams that they had so far played, including Stella, and now they had a “wild idea” that they could beat Auburn. It was indeed only a “wild idea,” for that night they came over and took their turn, only to be another victim of the home team. The game was fast and exceedingly rough, and up to the last few minutes of play Auburn held Peru’s score down to nothing, but at last they made two field goals. Several cars of people came over from Peru to witness the game and when they went back they were feeling very blue. Auburn 24—School for Deaf 16 On the following Saturday the Nebraska School for Deaf brought their warriors down to our little city and this game made Auburn’s ill nmrtMMMitii NmtMUiHNMNHHiriinniMinnnimuiiiitMmmuiiiuuii fifth straight victory. Many people wondered how these boys could play when they could not hear the whistle. This fact caused a lot of excitement and brought a large crowd to watch the game. Although the visiting team was a very good team, Auburn’s was the superior and easily won. The last half of the game Broady and Lippold were replaced by Maclay and Bourke. The two substitutes played a very good game and convinced everyone that if any extra players were ever needed all that was necessary was to call either of them. Auburn 7—Creighton 24 January 28, the team went to Omaha to play the Creighton High School team. The Creighton squad had lost only one game this season and was determined to defeat Auburn if it was possible to do so. They had a team composed of large and old players. This, with the fact that the game was to be played on their floor, gave them advantages over Auburn. Tin1 gymnasium was a very large one, much larger than Auburn’s, but Auburn was not to be discouraged and the first half was fast and exciting. It ended 6 to 3 in Creighton’s favor. In the next half Creighton made more goals which was the result of Auburn’s five-man defense giving way because the team had not been used to playing it on such a large floor. Auburn also made several goals and the game ended 24 to 7 in Creighton’s favor. Auburn 20—School for Deaf 16 The next evening the Auburn team went out to the Nebraska School for Deaf, where they again proved themselves to be the stronger team by winning 20 to 16. The game was another exciting one, Auburn being behind at the end of the first half and coming back strong in the second half. The floor the game was played on was in one of the buildings of the school and.was about the same size as Auburn’s. Bourke played tin' position of guard the first half and Combs replaced him the last half, and again the substitutes proved themselves capable of playing when they were called upon. Although the boys had lost Friday night they were satisfied that they had had a splendid trip. They only wanted February 25 to hurry along so they could even things up with Creighton. Auburn 12—Beatrice 14 Monday, January 31, Beatrice came to Auburn and succeeded in winning over Auburn by a very small score, 12 to 14. The home team had returned form their trip to Omaha the day before and were not feeling as well and fit as they should. The Beatrice team was another beefy squad and was also good at making baskets. The game was very cl-ire and interesting to watch. The score was tied several times but the wrong team was ahead when the final whistle blew. It was too bad that the home team lost this game, especially by only two points. HimmmnHiwitiitMmn 1021 Auburn 14—Arlington 16 Do you believe in “luck”? No matter how good a bread or cake baker a woman is, there are times when her bread or cake isn’t any good? That is just the way with the Auburn High School Basket Ball team. On February 4 Auburn was defeated by Arlington by a score of 14 to 16. Although Auburn did get beat they played a good game and tie game was close and interesting. Maybe it was the imp “Chance,” who must have been jealous of Auburn because it was just a min i v before the whistle blew that Arlington made the winning points. Auburn 21—Nebraska City 18 Now we come to February 7. The boys felt that they had had their share of bad luck. The Nebraska City game always causes much excitement, and a large number of Auburn people went up to see the game. Last year when Auburn went to Nebraska City they were defeated but this year it was entirely different. A preliminary was played between two of the grade schools of Nebraska City and then came the big game. It was a fast and furious game and an exceedingly large number of fouls were called. Every player was playing his best every minute but the Auburn team had the Nebraska City team out classed. Auburn 26—Plattsmouth 10 On February 11 Plattsmouth came to Auburn and for the second time they were forced to lose to the Auburn team. The Plattsmouth team was a mighty good group of players. The game was just as fast and clean as any that was played at Auburn this year. At the end of the first half the score was tied, 10 to 10. In the last half, however, Auburn ran away from them and did not even allow them to make a single point, while running their own end of the score up to 26. Just because Auburn beat them by a large margin, don’t think that this wasn’t a real fast and snappy game, because it was. Auburn 41—Courtland 32 On February 17. the team started on their last trir . That night they played Courtland. The town is small but they have a very fast Basket Ball team. They r� lav in a roller skating rink, dance hall and opera house combined. The building was rather small: the people were scattered along the two sides and on the stage. If the ball went into the crowd and did not return it was out of bounds, but the ball generally returned and incidentlv to one of the Courtland players. At the end of the first half they led the Auburn team bv a score of 18 to 13 but the last half Auburn again made one of their famous rallies, surpassed Courtland and won the game by a large margin. Auburn 28—Hebron 21 Tin next day the boys continued their journey and about dusk they landed in Hebron where they played that night. Hebron plays in a new building which had a floor about the size of Auburn’s, but it had no out of bonds. The Hebron boys could walk those walls more like acrobats than like Basket Ball players. With even these odds against them, the Auburn boys treated them just the same as they did Courtland tin night before. The game was close and at tin end of tin first half tin score was 9 to 10 in Hebron’s favor. The last half, tin Auburn team out played Hebron and won by 2S to 21. The team stayed there all night and came home tin next afternoon much elated over their success. Auburn 36—Creighton 22 Alia! Auburn humbles Creighton to the tune of 36 to 22. On the evening of February 25, Auburn again met Creighton; this time they met them on their own floor. Creighton made a rush at the very start of the game and after several minutes the score was 9 to 1 in their favor. But Auburn soon settled down and went after them in a business manner, so that at the end of the first half the score board read: Creighton 12; Auburn 11. The second half started with the Auburn team making a rush and after a fast and hard fought twenty minutes the score was 22 to 36 with Auburn “sitting pretty.” All through the game the Auburn team had been out playing Creighton, especially so in passing. Because of their defeat, the Creighton team had little to say and boarded the first train for Omaha. Auburn 35—Nebraska City 22 On March 2, Auburn played their first and most exciting game at home. It was witnessed by the largest crowd that was ever in Auburn’s gymnasium, and probably the largest that will ever be there. Many people got as far as the building only to have to return home because they could not get standing room. There was no room anywhere, even the windows were packed. Nebraska City came up in cars and brought between 150 and 200 rooters with them. The minute the whistle blew, Auburn started and during the whole first half they resembled a whirlwind, excepting that they knew what they were doing and where they were going and a whirlwind does not. They played Nebraska City off their feet and the half ended 23 to 11 with Auburn carrying the honors. The next half Auburn slowed down but easily defeated Nebraska City and the game ended 35 to 22. This game gave Auburn the Champion-hsip of Southeastern Nebraska. Now the team did not have anything to do but practice and await their classification for the State Tournament to be held in Lincoln March 10, 11, and 12. Auburn was classed in class A and was scheduled to play Supenor, Thursday afternoon about three o’clock. This convinced everyone that Auburn had a wonderful team. Tins made them one of tne Lest 16 teams in the state. On Wednesday the team went to Lincoln and prepared for the game on the following day. Auburn 9—Superior 17 The team went out to the Colisseum about one o’clock and a little after three they went through a gate and out on a 160 acre Basket Ball court to play. Maclay scored the first point of the game by a free throw. The game was slow and tiresome to watch and as the time passed, Superior gradually increased their score over Auburn’s. Superior had one man who seemed to be able to find the basket regularly and the first half ended 12 to 5 in their favor. The second half proceeded much as the first did except that Auburn’s guarding was much better and Superior made only 5 more points. Auburn, however, was still unable to find the ring and the game ended 17 to 9 with Auburn out of the Tournament. This ended the Basket Ball season of 1920-21. Although Auburn did lose four games this year, they are sui t that they can say that this year’s team of the Auburn High School was the best one that Auburn ever had. iiiiillllllilliailillliliiiiiiiiiiiiiii a ii s .............Him............................ SECOND TEAM With the ex])ori( nce which tin second team received this year tin first team next year should be a very fast and efficient team. The team played four games, winning two and losing two. Their main object was to learn the tricks of the game and to play against fellows they did not know. The games they played were: Auburn 24—Wymore 7. Auburn 19—Johnson 14. Auburn 4—Johnson 24. Auburn 17—Stella Reserves 23. On January 28th the second team played their first game. Wymore came to Auburn expecting to win but were greatly disappointed. The game was fast but the Auburn team had them out-classed too much to make it interesting. Johnson then came to Auburn on February 4th and played the Auburn second team. The second team easily beat them winning by a score of 19 to 14. The Auburn team showed some fine team work at carrying the ball down the field and making a goal regularly. IIIIIIIM 1921 Bill The third game was played at .Johnson, on February tlit 18th. Tin floor they had to play on was a long and narrow one, and it was so dark that they c uld hardly see tin goals. To make things worse the ceiling was extremely low, being not over 111 feet high. Their last game was played at home against tin1 Stella Reserves. The game was a fast one, and very interesting but the boys played in hard luck and lost, 23 to 17. Lynn Paris was a forward, and was a very good point maker. He is sure of his close shots and gets a large number of his long ones. He will probably be a regular next year. Howard Ferneau is said to always be carrying horse-shoes. Anyway he is a good goal shooter and a good guard. He has two more years in High School and has a very good chance for next year’s team. Ralph Williams who played stationary guard on the second team is a good steady player. He has several years in school and promises to become a good player. John McKnight was substitute on the second team. He did not get to play any but we know from watching him in practice that he is to be a future Auburn “star.” He was only a “Preside” this year and many things are expected from him in the next three years. James Gillilan was center on this team. He is a steady player and a very good guar J. He will make somebody fight for his place on the first team next year. Eugene Perry did not start until late in the season but he played enough to show that he can play. He is large and is good at goals, and especially good at guarding. Caroll Curtis was another substitute on the team. He is a “Freshie” also. He has good form at shooting baskets and with a little more practice will make everyone sit up and take notice. With these fellows and in addition Wilbur Maclay, Chester Combs, Kenneth Watkins, John Broadv and Dayton Maclay, the next year’s team ought to again take Southeastern Nebraska with ease. Everybody wishes them the best of luck, especially when they go to Lincoln to take part in the Tournament. 1921 mimnminHmi'iiimmmtwHinHiMiunimiaiiiuiinwimiimini'iuiumiininitittnuniiimiitntiiimumiHUtHmtUH) Iv PHYSICAL EDUCATION All the High School boys meet twice a week for physical education; some of them call it drill; others call it the bain (poison) of High School life. However, some boys have learned that they were neither active nor able when it came to performing simple exercises; others have used the half hour with profit and are undoubtedly kept more fit because they were required to loosen up a moment twice a week. The plan of the work is to give a variety of exercises. Some exercises are calculated to give important muscles development. Others call for individual enterprise, such as pole vaulting, jumping, and throwing. The spirit of emmulation is involved and column formation with facings and marchings are given at intervals. The two half hours a week offer little opportunity to develop group games of greatest interest. However, with a year’s work, a greater number of boys should be available for athletic games.. Track and Base Ball are two activities that need teams at the earliest possible date. The material is here and is of a high order. All that is needed is pervading interest, that will compel tin boys to get out and work beyond the period required by school hours. a (tmillllllHIIIIIIMlIIMIIIIIIMIHIIIIIIIUIIIIMIMIMIMMIIIII A II IIIIIMIIIIlirilMllllllllllllllffllllflllltlllllllllllMUIIIIIIIIfl • ’•IH 'HI I.

The girls drill on Monday and Wednesday of each week. The course is one in Swedish gymnastics and consists mainly of drilling, folk dancing, games and basket ball. The class also intends to have track work this year. Owing to poor equipment Miss Lindsey has not been able to give some of the drills she would otherwise have been able to give. The course has been beneficial to all who have taken it. It aids in acquiring correct posture and developing the bod;..

Though they played only one game with an out-of-town team they did some real work and developed some splendid players. If they could have had a schedule of games they would have proved to everyone beyond a.doubt that they have a winning team. Their only game was played with Dawson High. Since Dawson plays “girls’ rules” and Auburn “boys’ rules” in basket ball playing a compromise was made in favoi of each team’s playing its accustomed rules one half of the game. Though the game ended in a 51-1 score it was full of interest and pep throughout. The Dawson girls were real sports and kept up the fight even though the odds were against them. Next year, the girls hope to have a team again, and be in line with a good schedule of games. They are going to win their games, too, and make the boys work harder than vei to retain their place. The line-up for the team this year was: Maude Stewart, right guard; Klain Williams; left Schriefer, center; Naomi Rains, right forward; Lucile forward; Helen Frary and Margaret Gillan substitutes. guard; Ilda Magor, left ninitiiimnin A II S Maud Stewart, the captain, played her position as guard exceedingly well. She stuck to the forward she was playing against and no one could put anything over on her. Klain Williams was fast on the floor and she stayed right with her forward all the time. Klain got the ball and got it into the goal, too. She was certainly there when it came to guarding. Ilda Schriefer, the tall center, could stand and play with the ball up in the air above every one else and then toss the ball in the goal. Sue is the great goal tosser having made most of the goals in the game with Dawson. Naomi Rains was a fast forward and good goal thrower. She was an excellent guard as well as forward, a quality which a forward does not always have. Lucile Magor played the position of forward and was exceedingly fast and threw many goals. We regret very much that she will not be here next year. Margaret (rillan played the position as forward substitute and was certainly fine and even though she was small for a basket ball player. Tf there is a team next year Margaret will surely be there. Helen Frarv also rtlavod substitute forward and she was fine when it came to goals. Helen did well esneciallv in goal throwing for her first year in basket ball. Miss Lindsey, the coach, has done all she could to make the team a success and to get games with out-of-town teams. She has been very much interested in basket ball for the girls and has been anxious to have a good girls’ basket ball team this vear. Fxcent for Miss Lindsev’s belli and interest in the team, there would not have been a team this year. Evervbodv is sorrv that Miss Lindsov will not be here next year to continue her coaching of the basket ball t°am.

The society has been doing some excellent work under flu leadership of our sponsors. .Josephine Wright and Carol Rogers who received the most honors in our honor system, were sent as delegates to Lake Okoboji, Iowa, to the Y. W. C. A. conference . On account of an epidemic of scarlet fever at the camp the girls were sent home soon after they arrived. An opening party was held in the gymnasium in September for all girls of the high school. The old members were “gentlemen” and each took a new girl. Everybody present had a splendid time. Tn November the recognition services were held at tin High School. Twenty-six new members were enrolled. A play entitled “Commencement Days” was presented at the Rex theater, December 14 under the auspices of the Y. W. 0. A. The play was a great success in every way and there was a good crowd present. A delegate was chosen from each class of the Auburn High School to attend the conference at Lincoln in February. These were Lucile Magor, Naomi Rains, Frances Kinghorn, Margaret Gillan, and our sponsor Miss A lah Bath. There were delegates there from many towns in the state, Hastings, Beatrice, and Omaha being represented. The meeting proved profitable and interesting to everyone present. Miss Perry, from the Y. W. C. A. headquarters at Minneapolis, Minnesota, was here February 211. She gave several interesting talks to the members of the Y. W. C. A. Bible Study lessons have been taken up beginning in March. An hour is given to study of some person in tin Bible and then time is given for a social hour. The regular meetings are held everv two weeks, on Wednesdays.

However, there was no permanent organization to continue and carry forward the experience and enthusiasm from one year to the next. Each year the topic of debate remained for some interested individual to revive enthusiasm and reorganize : nd develop a team. In order to continue and carry over debating experience from one year to the next the interested members under the sponsorship of Mr. Schmidtke organized the Garfield Debating Club. The immediate purpose of the club is to give to the members practice in debating and speaking before groups and develop clearness in expression. The club does not only practice debating, but studies the various forms of argumentation and practices writing of arguments as well as delivering them. A constitution was drawn up and signed by eleven charter members. Officers were elected consisting of president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. Membership and program committees were appointed by the president. Any students of the four classes of the high school are eligible to belong to the club providing their school work is up to standard. Regular meeting are held every Thursday evening in the high school library and programs consist of debates, reading and briefs and work from text books. A debate was given in the assembly January 27, the question for discussion was: Resolved: that immigration should be prohibited for two years. Lillian Hylton and Erma Good were the affirmative speakers; Lois Ord and LaVeta Hanlon the negative. The judges decided in favor of the affirmative. iiiiiiiiM 1021 iijUHI h iii.h ii i iHii.iiiin •ur III!

A II S •i mi iiiii mint in ii ii nun 1921 llllll IM III! IIHHIIIIII III! I A H S WHY SHE CHANGED HER MIND “Ain’t tliet awful,’’ old Mrs. Kent shouted to her dignified next door neighbor, Mrs. Winkle. Mrs. Kent had just spied her neighbor on her back porch, and had gone out on pretense of seeing if the clothes on the line were dry. The lady in question turned slowly and said in a weary tone, “ Wnat on earth do you mean?” Airs. Kent dried her red hands on her calico apron as she replied, “Why don’t clier know? Them there poor cliil-d’rn thets starven to death in them foreign countries. 1 sez to myself ‘Millie, if tin cents’ll keep one of them children alive a day, they git ten cents outen every wash you do.’ ” Her neighbor looked at her and replied in a lofty tone, “Well, you know 1 don’t have time for such things and besides it takes all my surplus money to pay my lodge dues, and by the way, could you do my laundry tomorrow?” and she paused for a moment, then went on, “1 usually do it myself, but the president of the lodge of New York will speak up at the lodge rooms and 1 can’t miss hearing it.” Mrs. Kent considered a moment, then said, “Yes, 1 kin by gitten up early, 1 got two ter do tomorrer, but 1 guess 1 can do yours along with them, then tliet’ll be a dollar and a half for them poor child ’in.” Without another word Mrs. Winkle turned and went into the house, then Mrs. Kent did likewise ami taking some mending sat down by the window to sew. The next day there was a light in the little brown house long before day-break and Airs. Kent worked to got those washings out. Rubbing, boiling, rinsing, she thought sin would never get through, but a smile crept to her lips as sin thought of the childrens’ lives to be saved by her work. That evening, as her husband and she sat on the door step unconsciously watching the summer moon rise, she said to her less enthusiastic husband, “.Jest think tliet’ll be two dollars and a half fer them starvin’ children outen this week work.” Her husband laid his toil hardened hands affectionately on her arm, “You oughtn’t work the way you do, Minnie.” “But Jim,” she said, “I’d rutlier fer the sake of our little grave.” There was a silence as tlu man and woman sat on the door step of their humble cottage, each thinking of the little grave that was theirs because once there had not been enough money or food in their home to keep the feeble little light burning and it had quietly flickered out. The man’s voice was husky as Ik said, “Come, its long past our bed time.” And they rose and went into the house. Surely the world had not been kind to them—but “reward is eternal.” Over in Winkle’ big house the lights burned far into the night as iiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiM i !� -_ i liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii —utnmiwunm ..niiiiimmimimiii � imm«MHitM� imiimw«i«WMMimM� iwwit«iwiMiwiminiiiiiw«imniiiiiiiiiiiMii«iWiiiMiini«iiimMiwmnMi nmmmnBiiiiui ■Bill XE6I ■■MIMMIIIBMB Aupung SjUiip oq oj pauadduq qoupvv) oj auiuo aqs Suiqj jsay aqj uo jus pm; Jtfuiqoouq jnoqjpvv ui ij'uioif Xq asiadans Aq jua j -saj qooj aqg uauiOAvaaqsuAV aood su ajdoad qous oj quads oj pasoddns jou suav puu airpoj A’jaioos u oj poSuojaq oqs juqj iuuqu Avay oqs si; ij'uijatfaoj ‘asnoq stjua j -s.i| oj joao him- piiu saqjop aaq uo paddqs Apiaiaanq uaqj ‘juauioui u pajujtpaui puu jus aqg iju.u os paiuaas jj uiuaap u uaaq aAuq ji ppioQ uaq puuoau poqooj Apujauaq jjuq aqg -auiu jno paunqo qoop u asnoq aqj ui aaaqAvauios puu ‘Avopupvv uiooapoq aaq q noaqj ui Suuuuaajs suav auiqsuns aqj saXa ,iaq paaaAooun aqs uaqM tii saujunoa uifia.ioj maqj ui qjuap .iaj ,uia.iujs uaappqo aood maqj ‘pijvvu ji Jjtijy,, ‘s.iua aaq ui .oiiiifui.i spaoov aqj p.iuaq aqs inuJrfu jiuu jno uoisia ajqu.iaj aqj jnqs oj saA’a aaq aaAo spuuq aaq jud ajqui ‘saj ; •sqaoqo uaquns ajupvv aaq uavoji pasanoo sauaj aqj apqAV aniiuoj oaijuu aaq ui sifuos jo saqojuus Subs qJ.ioj puu qouq Suiauavs [ uu aaq oj ji padsup aqs ‘paoaijs ppqo aqj su uaqj -pooj Aquq aaq Suiaq suuoiaauiy aqj juqj SuiXuad avou ‘ppqo JmiAaujs aaq aaAo jus aaqjoui aqj |pjg punoaSqouq aqj ojui papuj aAuq oj tuaas uaappqa aaqjo aqj, ’saAa payiaaoq i[jiav paqojUAV ajqui -sa| •sauruu Suiauapua ji Suiquo puu aouj ajjjq ajupvv sj; Suissiq ji ioao jus aaqjoui SuidaaAV y -Aao ao aaoui oj ajqaaj ooj ppqo u suav uiaqj jo jspuu aqj uj qua oj Suiqjauios aoj Suiuuoui puu Supvao ‘uaappqo passaap j[uq qjiA papy oq oj pauiaas aaq Avojaq puq SjoqAV aqj -paqooj puu paddojs aqg i saiujs aqj jo jooj aqj ju juqj suav juqy -paddojs aqg •aaqjaSoj Suiuuoui puu SuiSms ooioa s( uuiuoav u auaq ppioo oqs puu aasojo Suuuoo suav Sumiboui aqj -ssauqaup ui padduaAV suav SmqjXauArq -saiujs aqj uAVop puu paq jo jno paddqs aqg •osiou ou aquui ppioo oqs pauiaas ji jng uuooa jxau aqj ui jdajs puu sjqSiu aaq qjpvv paXujs oipvv jai.o aqj ‘qjqqq quo oj pauj aqg qiuAV s,pqqo aaqjouu pauaq aqs uaqj -pauajsq puu paq ui dn jus aqg -Suiuuoiu ppqo u pauaq aqs Ajuappng (;saujunoo uifiaaoj j(uppioqs A'ijav ‘uaappqo aaq jo aauo qooj uoiaauiy 'saiajunoo u.oiaaoj ui uaappqo su sifuiqj juiAiaj qous aaAo puaq aaq A aaoAv pjnoqs ‘aood pun pajuonpuun ‘uuiuoav juqj aijav paaajuioAV aqs su jjasaaq oj paptus aqs puy 4psaiajunoo uSiaaoj uiaqj ui qjuap oj tuiAaujs s.jaqj uaappqo aood uiaqj,, ‘aaq oj auiuo spaoAv sjuaxj •saj ‘Suiuioiu aqj ui qoo[0(o auo jnoip? ‘daajsu iftppuj suav oqs sy •saoiAap uavo aaq oj qonui jqaj suav aqs puu ‘pajaAuaj puuqsnq aajj -A'jaud pauo u pauiuj -aajua aqs JfuiuaAa aqj ui puu aSjioj oj auo. f puq aqs Xup juqj qunsn mill niHTiiiiiri i r ....iwiitii-r ...................... -.......................... mio' ............. ................................................... .............................................................................................. ii v ................................................................................... ................................................................................................................................................

A SMALL BOY’S ODE TO BRAINS Pop says that school is a place where we go to make our brains grow and that the bigger our brains grow the better. Our school teacher, Miss Smith, said that each of us had two brains and that they was gray. T’other day she told brother, whose in the eighth grade, to brighten up on histry, and when he asked her what vuh was ’sposed to make shine when yuh brightened up on histry, she said, “Why yer brains of course, Johnny.” So I ’spose those brains must be something like sis’s shoes, ’cus her shoes are gray and there’s two of ’em and she always shines ’em on Saturday, ‘stead of on histry. Only difference is that the littler tin shoes are the more proud the girls are of ’em but Pop says that if the girls had bigger brains they woodn’t want to have such little shoes. Since we have two brains, 1 ’spose one is for leadin' and one for ’rithmetic. If I was Bill White’s mother I’d be afraid to send him to scliood ’cuz I’d be afraid that one side of his head wood grow bigger than t’other, ’cuz his ’rithmetic brain is lots smarter than his read in’ brain. I’ve been watchin’ his head party close fer the last week but I haven’t been able to find out on which side his ’rithmetic brain is, and on which side his leadin' brain is. 1 ’spose maybe his rcadin’ brain was bigger to start out with. 1 think that the schools sure have been great things to make the readin’ and ’rithmetic brains grow jest the same size ’cuz I’ve never seen any grown up people yet whose heads was bigger on one side than on t’other. Brains is sure queer things. —ISABELLE SNYDER. 1921 iiiamumnitiitmitimiiiiiiiiiiiMiiMiiii THE NEW YEAR AND THE OLD Just before the clock struck twelve on New Year’s eve, Old Year, a worn old lady in faded robes, could be seen sitting on the stops of the Auburn High School building. She was waiting to give her position to the New Year. As she sat thinking deeply of the past year with it’s pleasures and short comings, she was suddenly startled by a happy little ripple of laughter, and looked up into the sweet, happy face of a young girl, dressed in dainty white. “That must be New Year, poor thing. She won’t be so happy at this time next year,” thought Old Year to herself. Up tripped New Year, said in a winning tone, “You are the Old Year, aren’t you? But what makes you look so sad ? 1 am sure I shall be happy in my work here.” “My child, I am thinking of all the things we have not been able to accomplish in Auburn High since I took my place here last year. There are so many thing left undone. I was once as joyous and confident as you, but look at me now,” and her thin shoulders began to shake with sobs. “Never you mind, 1 have my plans all laid, and 1 know I shall accomplish a great deal,” and Miss New Year gave her charming head a slight toss. “Mv dear, you have a groat deal before you, and oh, those boys!” “Why, what’s the trouble with the boys,” asked New Year, “I’ve heard they are a fine looking lot.” “They look well enough, but they never do have their Latin lesson and they always forget to talk correctly. They’re always saying hain’t and ain’t and such things. “Well, I’ll soon break them of that,” replied New Year brightly. “Yes that’s what 1 thought when 1 started but they just wouldn’t, stop saying such things.” “Oh! Don’t take it so hard, they’ll all turn over a new leaf this year. ’ ’ “They did last year, but they were soon saying the same things again before long, and those girls! They all come to school with a new style of liair-dressing every day, and how they giggle! It fairly makes me shudder to think of it,” and the Old Year leaned back against the step, as if exhausted. “Yes, yes, but I am going to have every boy and girl working sc hard that they won’t have any time for such foolishness, you’ll see.” “Let me tell you, New Year, what to look out for,” said the Old Year. “First of all, you’ll have to watch the stamping of feet third period, talking in assembly, eating candy, and chewing gum in school hours. Then, too, the Freshmen should not besiege the teacher for library permits, as they have this year. The Juniors, I fear, will never � HtMHHMiwimtiuiiinMHttm«tniimnMHimiHMt� mniiinmiiininaiinuHiuiiiinniiiniiiiiiiiimnnmiiiinnii s bo able to agree among themselves, but you might sec what you can do with them.” ‘‘Be sure to see that the good things are encouraged, for instance: Debating, basket ball, football, good lessons, class parties, and Mr. Schmidtke’s speeches in tin assembly.” New Year stifled a yawn with one slim white hand, and murmured, “Thank you for the advice, Old Year, and I’ll try to remember all you have said. “I intend,” she went on enthusiastically, “to make 1921 the biggest year in the history of tin school. Auburn, according to my plans, will stand first among all schools of the state, in athletics, scholarship, and school spirit.” “Well maybe,” said Old Year in a voice that was growing fainter and fainter. “ I’m going to start every thing off so well that the pupils will keep smiling and bright all year, and 1 shall keep them so busy, that tin girls won’t even have time to fuss with their hair,” and New Year hummed a tune under her breath. “But there is another thing, too, the teachers need watching. You know they get cross sometimes.” “Oli! They’ll be alright when the students brighten up, you’ll see.” Just then a neighboring clock chimed twelve, and the old year rose stiffly to her feet. She paused for a moment to wish New Year luck, and then before she quite faded into the shadows, turned to look for the last time at Auburn High, where she had worked and planned, succeeded and failed, and slowly a great shining tear slipped down her withered cheek, and tin Old Year was gone. —PEARL COWELL. ELMER TODD’S IDEA OF SPRING There is many kinds of springs. Som of thems good but most o’them is bad. There’s one tliats alius spoilin’ a fellas nap in the morn-in’, the one in the ’lami clock, I mean. Pa, hi sez there’s a spring in tin phonygraph too, but t’other day whin T was ’vestigatin’ an tryin’ to find it, Ma she found me first an I tell ya the board she used out in tin wood shed didn’t have any spring in it either. I wish all these springs hadn’t bin invented. Ma’s alius savin’, “Elmer, come bring me a fresh bucket of water from the spring.” There’s one good spring tho’ an that when it ’gins get warm and us boys kin sneak off and try out tin old swimmin’ hole. We had ’nawful good spring board out there (in the board 1 mean) ’till old Rill Brown las’ week when In was goin’ to make tin first dive of tin season went an busted it, anyhow it won’t spring any more. This is all the springs I kin ’member of. —MAUDE STEWART. ■MMMMMmitMinMtmiftllMIIMIMUlIMM niiittitwimiMMmMnwinwinMnmintiiiuimiiitiimHmMntiiitnimiminnniin iiiniiiinmiiniium«w !llll!ll!ll|[||IIIIUIIIillllllllllllllUIIIIIII!lllllll!lllllllllllll ..................................................................................... I''........ .... IMP A II S THE BARBER CF GRANVILLE A col l driving rain was falling. The biting March wind howled dismally around the weather beaten buildings of the little village and almost drowned the crash and roar of the breakers as they battered the rocks along the shore. The horses on the mail coach stood with heads lowered impassively before the storm. The driver, after carelessly tossing the mail bags to tin ground, crossed the almost deserted street and disappeared into the saloon. Very few people came up-town to get their mail that day. Business in general was dull. The little barber in the diminutive shop next to the postoffice went into his back room, carefully locked the door behind him and sat down on a high stool before a long table littered with wheels, springs, papers, and other odds and ends. A short wiry man, dressed in old shabby garments, jerked nervously back and forth as he compared result of the figures over which he was working. Such was the Barber of Granville, inventer at heart, barber by necessity. The outside door slammed. The barber rose from his work and came out into his shop. The customer was an old acquaintance and the barber greeted him cheerfully, keeping up a varied, if rather one-sided conversation as he plied his trade. When the man got np he turned and asked, “John, what is that invention people say you are always working on back there?” John answered patiently, as he invariably did, “.Just a little improvement on a motor boat. But it don’t nay to tell all you know, even to friends.” Every citizen in Granville had heard this renlv many a time and took it as a matter of course. What business of theirs was it what Barber John did in that back room, and what if lie did get more papers and letters from Washington than even Squire Worthington, whose second cousin was a representative, he had a right to. One morning the barber failed to unlock his door. Tin village wondered. The next morning the door was still locked. The village began to think, but another storm was raging and the people wore more interested in its progress. The next morning a motor boat was found where the waves had tossed it upon the rocks. In it lav the lifeless form of a man. A coroner’s jury was summoned. The bodv was identified as that of Barber John. The jury’s verdict was that John, eager to try out his invention, had defied tin gathering storm and gone to sea. The engine had run out of fuel and the boat left to the mercy of the waves was dashed upon the rocks. When tin barber shop was opened, the onlv thing of interest they found was a Washington newspaper with a small item neatly clipped out. No one else in the village took the paper so they could not know what the clipping was, itiiiiiuuiiuaiuiiiMuiiiiiiiuuiiuiuiiiauwiwnuimiiiMmiiiMiiHtiiiiiitiuiiiiiiuiNiii 11II i IliMMIIIIIUHMIllMI 139135 Months rolled by, the village had long ceased to talk of Barber John’s unfortunate death. One day a large car, such as no one in Granville had ever seen, rolled down Main street and stopped before the barber shop. A man got out, unlocked the door of the shop, and walked in. Sleepy Massachusetts villages are noted for the rapidity with which a crowd can collect. Ordinarily the car would have been enough to hold the interest of this crowd, but now they were all gazing intently at the man in the shop. Who could it be? He had the same quick nervous step, the same features of Barber John. But Barber John had heed buried fifteen months ago. At last the man came out and greeted several of the crowd. It was Barber John. The crowd, inquisitive as all such crowds are, demanded an explanation, so the barber began, “Over a year ago T saw a notice in the paper of a firm in Deleware which was manufacturing an article that I had patented, but failed to sell. I left immediately without telling anyone. When T reached Deleware, T filed claim for royalty on the patent, and I won.” Later it was learned that a motor boat, similar to the one found after the memorable March storm, had been swept off the deck of a Trans-Atlantic liner. The captain, not knowing of the stowaway hidden in the boat, had not tried to recover it. —W. F. WTTLF, ’21. SMALL BOYS ESSAY ON “ZAMINATIONS” Zaminations is where the teacher finds out how much a boy don’t no. The worst ones is generaly in grammer or maybe reading. Sometimes us fellows used to get a headache or tootache or somethin’, so we could go home. But onct my Ma put me to bed and sent for the doctor, when he come he looked at me over his big spektakles and said, “I’d better give the boy an examination.” T got up and went to skool, and me an the boys ain’t tried that no more since. Teacher is alwuys croser on zam day and she seams more able to watch a lot of us kids all at once, so when you can’t rite somethin’ about the question you have to pertend to anyhow, stead of doin’ anything useful. She never lets a kid study then jest cause he feels like it. Sum such simpel thing as savin’ a few words to Archibald Jones gives a kid zero, when all time he nose mor’n him. If you get thru early teacher jaws you an makes you study after it wont do you no good if you don’t get thru she gives you a low grade, so Zams ain’t a bit of use, no way you look at ’em. T don’t have time to write any more cause teachers passin’ out the zamination papers. But anyhow they ain’t nothin’ I feel about, like T do zaminations less it is mindin the baby when Ma goes to the show, or maybe washin ahind my ears for company. —MARY ROHRS. ITS A GREAT LIFE IF— We love the dear old High School Where happy hours we pass, But dearest of its periods We love the History Class. ’Tis there that we assemble To stuff our bulging brows With all the gobs of wisdom Nebraska law allows. Not only have we pondered How Caesar smote the Gauls, But learned about the nigger Who swallowed billiard balls. This is a fair example I’ve chosen to relate To show you how extremely The class is up to date. At scientific research We’re Johnny on the Spot, And tell about inventions If they are made or not. And how we dread vacation, How slowly it will pass Without the daily sessions Of the dear old History Class. —Wylie May and Carl Brown The faculty with their laws and rules Are efficient enough for ten schools. Scbmidtke’s there to check you off, Craig to see that you never lawf, McGrew to keep you still as a mouse, Gregory to keep an orderly house, Hindsev lets von play around, Ernst flies off if you make a sound, Morse is rather lenient.

We have striven in these columns to please the vanity of our subscribers and their love of notoriety and should they resent it, please remember that in our waste basket is a pile of material which had to deal with better folks than they, yet we spurned it.. Why? Because we were just to a fault and printed only that which we thought they would like. We have tried to inject a little life into this volume, and all failure to do so is, we assure you, due to the little blue pencil of an unfeeling censor. Our policy has been to leave the likes and dislikes to the subscribers, whom we have earnestly endeavored to protect. e have been gentle to the point of martyrdom in our treatment of the faculty. Not because of back papers, examination grades, or tin board of censors, but rather because there is that atom of reverence which defies us to cast the stone of slander or gossip upon that body. e salute the board of censors. We hope that they will set the labor and effort squandered upon these pages rather than upon our lessons, and give us credit for it. If you like this annual, boost it, and if you don’t like it, do not bring it back to us. We are done with it. 1921 Ill iscn WILLIAM WULF Editor-in-Chief MABEL KTONEMAN Associate Editor G. E.

It was not many years before the enrollment became so large that the old building could not accommodate all the students. The building was first added to but later it was torn down to make room for the large modem building which new houses the Auburn High School. This new building was built in 1912 at a cost of $40 000. A student on entering the Higli School has a choice of four courses, general course, normal training course, commercial course and home economics course. It is of great advantage to a person to be going to a school where he can choose the kind of studies he wants to take. A course which would be of interest to one person would prove unprofitable to another. The courses offered by the Auburn High School cover a very wide field. The Auburn High school can credit the success of the students in the vaiious departments to the excellent faculty it has always had, but this is also due to the equipment of the school. The building contains, besides the usual class rooms, a spacious, well lighted assembly, well stocked laboratories for physics and chemistry, a largo library, a typewriting room, domestic science kitchen and dining room, and a manual training room. Besides the facilities for successfully conducting classes the school has a large gymnasium and two dressing rooms with shower baths. The basketball team purchased equipment for calisthenics and the gym floor is arranged for basketball, indoor baseball, and volley ball. On this floor Auburn basketball teams have won for themselves a reputation that might well be envied by many other teams. unMiiiiiiisuMutiiiittiiiiiiiniiiiimniiiitiiu 1 � ‘ 1 A II S NORMAL TRAINING The Nonnal Training Course begins in the Junior year and consists mainly of Reviews and Pedagogy. This yeai there are ten Seniors in the Department. The Academic training is made up of Major and Minor Reviews; professional training consists of one semester of the study of Pedagogy texts such as White, Freeland, Lincoln, La Rue, and Earhart, and one semester of Rural School Problems and practice teaching in the model primary of the High School. The latter continues the last eight weeks of school. No doubt the impressions which shall remain with them longest are those experiences which they had in their observation work in rural districts last fall. The last observation excursion which they made in November, when they celebrated by treating themselves to a beefsteak feed, will be long remembered. Furthermore, they sensed some moments of real anguish and excitement while they were performing their two weeks of practice teaching in the ward schools. Then at regular intervals came the moments of true uncertainty when they sojourned to the court house to take the county examinations. After all, however, they have enjoyed their work, even the “lectures” given by numerous book agents this spring, and they are leaving Auburn High School reminiscently happy. They are entering their careers as well prepared teachers, and they feel that under the competent leadership of their friend and supervisor, M;ss Lindsey, they have emassed knowledge of sterling worth. 1 J)21 HOME MANAGEMENT The Sophomore Home Management class is in its second and last year of the Home Economics Course. The Auburn High School responds fully to the demand of the times that preparation for scientific heme management shall be made a part of the school training of girls. The problem of regulating the home economically as well a. artistically is of the most importance. The class will have progressed far enough by the end of the school year to be able to regulate the home in both respects, for the girls have covered fairly extensively the art of interior decorations and the economic side of the question, and are capable of furnishing and arranging a home in good taste, yet without undue expense. Their visit to two furnitrue dealers has contributed much towards giving them an idea of the best and most practical things in furnishing the kitchen. At Fut long’s they were especially interested by the fine demonstration of ranges and kitchen cabinets. Each of the visitors was presented with a beautiful carnation. At Swan’s various useful utensils and convenient furnishings for a kitchen were displayed. The other phases of this course are Applied Art and Design, and Sewing. The girls have advanced far enough to be quite efficient in their sewing, which included plain sewing and the making of more complicated garments as middies and gingham and woolen dresses. The Applied Art and Design class has been complimented quite highly by several members of the faculty on their designs for borders, stenci’s and c’hina. These designs and all garments made during the year were shown in the exhibit which was given at the close of the term. —ELIZABETH WULF AND MYRA BIGGERSTAFF. V A II S DOMESTIC SCIENCE Students of the piesent Freshman Domestic Science class have accomplished a great deal this year. The girls prepared and served noon lunch cn Tuesdays and Thursdays. The practice dining room was filled to its capacity on these'cceasions. Many business people took advantage of the excellent menus and careful service, and the basketball boys, debating society, and other organizations were entertained at various times. Another memorable thing was the breakfast which one-half of the class prepared for the other half, taking turn about. Each half strove to prove to the other that there were some fine cooks on each side. Each girl has learned to prepare simple, well balanced meals, and Miss Tourtelot is to be complimented on producing so many good biscuit makers. In the sewing class many practical and pietty things have been finished. The class started by making their own cooking aprons. Later more elaborate garments were made. Among them gingham dresses, some of which would make Mina Taylor manufacturers blush with envy. Many of the patterns used were drafted by the students themselves. The entire course was planned with a view to helping each and every girl to become apt and skillful along the line of household arts. The work throughout has been most practical and beneficial, and the girls as a whole feel that they will always be more efficient because of this work. —NONA WHITMORE. llllllllil 1921 UIIIIII A H S Hi 7,, : ................ II: I MANUAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT The manual trair.g ckpartme.it accomplishes its work by the instalment plan. A group cf freshmen began their work in September and in January the rest cf the lreshmen took up the work. The shop is not large enough to accommodate all of them at the same time, nor is there enough time for the instructor to give them two periods cf work. The boys have not made a great many articles, but a splendid pair of skis were made by Walker Admire, and a gocd kiddy kar by Allen Crooker. Other pieces showed that the boys who at first could not even plane a board had learned to use the common tools with some degree cf satisfaction. In the first semester the boys were required to put their tools and the shop into shape, and did not have much time for construction work. The second semester group has had more time and will see a number of pedestals, taborets, and stoo’s completed before the year is over. Ask Mark Ernst, he can tell you all about the shop. ....................................................ill........................I:.......... i 02i ................................................................................................................ ...................................................iimutMiinnMittitiinimiimMiiiUMiiiiiiini... ianu 111 a II s ...............................................................................................« .................. COMMERCIAL COURSE Tlie Comercial Course was added to the list of courses offered by the Auburn High school three years ago. The commercial teacher for the first year was Miss Stewart, and since her resignation Miss Hunting has had charge of the department. The Course consists of two years’ work in typewriting and shorthand, and one semester’s work in bookkeeping. The first year’s work is devoted to learning the touch system of typewriting and the principles of shorthand. In the second year the students are given dictation in shorthand which they afterwards typewrite from their notes. A semester of bookkeeping is given to familiarize the student with the elementary principles of simple bookkeeping. The Commercial Course is very much in favor at this school. There are fifteen Seniors and sixteen .Juniors taking the course this year, and under the efficient management of their teacher the class made rapid progress in all lines of their work. When they leave t' e school they will be able to do some office work or enter a business college with advance standing. The equipment of this course is good, for although the space given over to typewirting is limited, there are enough typewriters to accommodate nine students at one time A II S A SWEET MEMORY Gh, How we loved our school day hours, When all the future time was ours. As we think how soon ’twill all be past, We realize our life goes far too fast. Perhaps there was struggle, worry, and strife, But after all ’twas a pleasant life. The flowers seemed to whisper, the birds to sing, “Make the most! Make the most of this beautiful spring.” For when the leaves fade, and .the flowers cease to grow, Then off to the High School we must go. But we’ve locked and we’ve sealed right close in our hearts A memory of Athens, which time ne’er can part. —IRENE ANDREWS. SCHOOL DAYS AT ATHENS My school days of Athens are coming to a close Where many a poem and story has been composed. The honors in my arithmetic and grammar are not high, But next year in algebra and latin, I fear they’ll be more shy. The many rules of Athens were not so hard to bear, Because if you behaved well they were not always theie. The hickory stick and ruler have many times been hot, But if you behave well, they will harm you not. —CLYDE WISER. 1921 iiiiMtiNMiniiiumtuitiniiiwiniiut •ItlMIIIHMMIIIIMIMMIHIIIUIMttllltlllllMIIIIHtlllllllllllllllllllMJtntlMIIIIIIIIMIIMII lllltlllltMIIIIIHI A II S MNfltlllMllllltlltllMIIIH ANTIOCH 8190 Dunbar Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, May 27, 1936. Miss L. Nemaha Clarke, Senator of Nebraska, 8293 Fishy-Brook Avenue, Washington, D. C. Dear Miss Nemaha Clarke: Election certainly pleased us as far as your election to the Senate was concerned. And we must say that Nebraska is well honored in having such fine representative. While we were on our last tour through Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and Wyoming, many interesting things occurred. It would seem very queer that the whole class of 1921 from Antioch school should be brought before our eyes but this indeed happened in the course of two weeks. Our first program was given in Seedyville, Missouri. Perhaps you are wondering who we are and of what our program consists. We are called the “Royal None-Such.” and we are making a great hit with all who hear and see us. Our company consists of Marie Klein, the contralto singer, George Cole, the baritone, Waitie Thurlow, artist, Charles Parks, Comedian, Gladys Ruddy, elocutionist, and Harlan Smedley, pianist and manager of the company. Our first performance in Seedyville was a grand success and we took in two thousand dollars. After the programme, we were greated by a man who was dressed like a Catholic Priest. He said he was Reverend Father Reed of the Saints Consolidated Catholic Church. He said that he was going to the home of Miss Lois Black to unite her and Louis Combs in holy wedlock. They wished us to attend the wedding, and of course we were delighted to go. He said that several of our school mates would be there. On arriving at Miss Black’s home, we were greeted by Bruce Hay, manager of the famous Hay Circus, and his ticket seller, Jessie Smith; Dr. J. R. Harmon, famous veterinary surgeon of Bracken, Nebraska, and Effie Stevens, who was to be bridesmaid at the wedding. Effie taught domestic science in Rohrs, Nebraska. She specialized in cooking spinach and corned beef and cabbage.

We should have liked to stay in Seedyville longer, but left on the 6 a. m. train for Des Moines, where we also gave a concert. One person liked the concert so well that she came to us and offered to show us through the city. We were very pleased, as we had plenty of time. She took us out in her large limousine, which was of a new make called “Flack.” We told her that we had never heard of that kind of a car, and she said that it was made by Briggs Flack, formerly of Auburn, Nebraska, who had an automobile factory in Kansas City, Missouri. It was said that his car wiil soon be as popular as the Ford, although he buys all his car making material from a prominent junk dealer, Clarence King of Marysville, Kansas. As we got in the car and started through the city, we noticed a ta'l building and our guide told us it was established by Prof. W. L. Heinke, inventor of the famous phonograph with a giggler attachment. Prof. Heinke was soon going to abandon his career as an inventor and he as well as a friend, Elizabeth Zeilke, was going as a missionary to Roumania. We started down a beautiful avenue and say a very handsome house bearing a very handsome name on the doorplate, ‘Charles Grant, The Home of the Jew.” Our guide told us that he and Bernice Thornburg had just returned from a trip abroad. We drove on and presently George looked at his watch and discovered it was 5:30 p. m. and we had to meet the 5:26 train for Omaha. We were two miles from the depot and consequently we did a little speeding. On Poking behind us, we saw a motorcycle cop, and of course we stopped. It was Irvin Mears. and he sa d we should either be fined .$50 or taken to Judge Chapman of the Sup”eme Court. We at once paid the fine, as we knew Velma Chapmen wou'd give us no easy time. We then drove on, and Charles growing real curious asked our guide who she was. She said she was Donna Moore, of the National Association of Commercial Arts. We asked about her sister, Ida, and she said that she as well as her intimate friend, Avis WilHams, were in New York City. We reached the depot and when we bought our tickets, the agent looked very familiar. We asked her who she was, and she said she was Lola Hemphey, and that the lady at the next window was a friend of hers. Ardes Williams. They had both resolved to live and die “old maids.” As we got on the train, two ladies came rushing up to us, and said they were Oneta Criger and Dorothy Claik, speakers on the subject of Anti-Cigarette Laws and that they were introducing in Congress a bill frhich would forevei destroy the use of cigarettes. As a newsman came through the train, we noticed he had several books, and so Marie bought one. She began reading and presently turned to us and said, “Why this book is wiitten by Iva Watson, the famous nove’ist.” It gave a wh le biography of her, and we learned from a nearby person that she was taking in money by the millions of dollars. Well, nothing more of particu’ar interest oceured so we will close this laborious letter. Your old students, MARIE KLEIN. GEORGE COLE. CHARLES PARKS, WAITIE THURLOW. GLADYS RUDDY. HARLAN SMEDLEY. P.

COME TO THIS STORE FOR ALL KINDS OF WEARING APPAREL SorfefH)ruq Store' Auburn, Nebr. STATIONERY TOILET ARTICLES WATERMAN FOUNTAIN PENS STAFF OFFICE Since we must have an annual, we must have a staff. A staff, to do business, must have an office. Therefore, we, the present stall', have an office. It is found in the principal’s office. It is bounded on the north by a crack in the lloor covering, on the east by a wall, on tin south by another wall, and on the west by the principal’s desk. Now, having an office, it is just as important that we have our office rules. So here they are: OFFICE RULES 1. Never knock when you enter—we hate knockers! Bring the crowd when you come, we don’t let work interfere with pleasure. 2. If you came to see Schmidtke, don’t tell us all about it, we don’t care if Ernst canned you from the assembly. 3. If you don’t see what you came to borrow, ask for it. We strive to please! Please don’t take our last pencil. They cost us twenty-five cents apiece, and we beg of you not to forget to pay for them. By way of helping you, we would like to announce that there are several unclaimed pens in Schmidtke’s desk. Don’t bother to tell him which one you selected, we all know it was the best. Our eraser is always on the top of our table. There is a lot of material for the annual in the bottom drawer. If there are any jokes you can’t see through, tell us and we’ll be glad to explain them. Under no conditions, return what you borrow for at least a week, it is one of our favorite indoor sports to guess who has this or that of our possessions. 4. If you happen to have nothing to do, look through the annuals under our table. Do not return them, just let them lie when you are through with them. 5. If the Freshmen do not care for our manner of doing business, tell our friends, preferably when there is company, but don’t come to us with your troubles. 6. Why use your own typewriting paper when we have plenty of it? This same question applies to ink. 7. If the Freshmen happen to be busy or tired, we will gladly do any little odd jobs for them, such as answering the telephone, or finding Schmidtke when they are taidy. We are never busy, nnd never get tired 8. If we are asleep when you enter, don’t let it bother you. We enjoy all the noise possible when we are trying to sleep. 9. Do not use any of our famous yellow typewriting paper, it’s only purpose is to camouflage the table and besides the other is better. 10. If you should chance to use our ink, please leave the bottle in an upright position and see if the cork will fit. 11. Use our waste basket, we will empty it. 12. In short, make our office your own little club. DR. G. H. THURLOW I. W. IRVIN, M. D. Dentist X-RAY Office in Swan Building Phone 55-1 ring Auburn, Nebr. Office over Swan’s Store Auburn, Nebraska B.

On account of the demand for higher education in this country every new school house is being built on a hill. There are a great many eels in Long Island Sound but nobody knows just how many because they are so slippery that some of them may have been counted twice. Sir Walter Raleigh was the first white man to smoke tobacco but he never enjoyed it because he didn’t get any cigar coupons. A famous philosopher has said that nothing is impossible, but did you ever try: To carry a mattress upstairs? To find out what a woman is thinking about? To write a letter with a post office pen ? To sleep in a hammock ? To look innocent while talking to G. E. 11.! To swim from New York to Liverpool with an armful of eels? To get a couple of credits that you didn’t earn? To play a slide trombone in a telephone booth? To find how some guys get along? Did you ? MYRTLE SAYS: My name is Johnson. I and Superintendent Heacock have an offie ■ in the Auburn High School. 1 advise the superintendent, and anvon. else who may venture into the office. 1 answer the telephone, 1 sharpen his pencils and empty his waste paper basket.

A Ford drove to the High school, noticed the crowd and drove down the boulevard. Presently Mr. Schmidtke came in and .lessen Foyt innocently asked, “Did you ride up, Mr. Schmidtke?” Mr. Schmidtke glowered at him and replied. “Yes, a person can’t do anything in this town and got away with it.” Why, Mr. Schmidtke! Found on a Freshman’s Physiology paper. Question: What is proud flesh? Answer: Proud flehs is where a person paints and powders so they will look nice, but this.is a detriment to the skin because it closes up the little “pours” in your skin. The persons who doesn’t paint or powder is the best off because their skin is true. M iss Morse, pronouncing a lot of new words. Barton Furlong—“Where do you learn so many words?” Miss Morse—“That’s my business.” And Barton got offended because he thought sin emphasized the wrong word.

A bucket of water from “All’s well.” WANTED One of the arrows that Cupid shot. A man to awaken the sleepers of a railway track. A hat for the head of a nail. A wick from the lamp of life. A key to fit an elephant’s trunk. A splinter from a sun-beam. A train of cars to run on the branch of a tree. A pie made from the fruit of matrimony. A pair of spectacles to suit the eyes of potatoes. The club with which an idea struck the poet. A stick to measure narrow escapes. The identical hook and line with which an angler caught a cold. An umbrella used in the reign of tyrants. A knot from the board a man paid fifty dollars a week for.

Motto: “Break, break, break, upon the hard stone floor, everything you see.” Rule 1. Search your pockets before leaving the room to see if there isn’t something else in the laboratory you might need. Rule 2. Don’t inhale the gas. On account of the fuel shortage the student must be content with their own hot air. Rule 3. Don’t whisper. Talk out loud so those around you can get a fair share of the excitement of the evening before. Rule 4. Always return your neighbor’s notes. He may want to return them to the highbrow he borrowed them from. Rule 5. When throwing erasers about the room, don’t show your awkwardness by hitting the teacher first. Throw at a classmate near her so that it will hit the teacher on the bounce. This is much more effective, and the other follow gets the blame—generally. Rule 6. If you don’t agree with the teacher, don’t fail to toll her; she will appreciate this evidence of your interest in her work. Rule 7. If you follow all these rules faithfully, we guarantee you will never be bothered by receiving any credits and will get thrown out of “lab” at least once every day. “A Freshman’s Prayer” Now I lay me down to rest, Before tomorrow’s awful test, If I should die before T wake, 1 thank the Lord, no test I’ll take.. —Nettie Conner, ’22.
