Surely now, yes, you remember that old story of the last duckling to hatch? How large, ungainly, and unlovely he was? He was scorned and despised by the rest of the fowls of the barnyard, even his mother didn’t love him because of his ungainliness. Then one day he could stand life among them no longer and he went off tc himself in the woods and there he lived alonfe in peace holding his own in the world. Out there he slowly felt himself developing and saw himself dawning new and strange feathers, until at last his day came. He went to the lake and looked at himself and what did he see? Ah, he was no longer the ugly duckling. He was a swan. He had dawned swan’s feathers- Somehow the histcry of the class of ’23 reminds me of that old, old story When we were Freshmen we were the ugly ducklings, made fun of by the upper class-men, and we were the largest most ungainly class in the school. Then when we were Sophomores we retired and lived a life of quiet, but we held our own in the world. During the next year, or as Juniors, we felt power and influence slowly, but surely creeping upon us. But now! Now, we are swans. We definitely have a place to fill, a swan’s featheis and are taking our place in affairs. We are Seniors and our day has come. Picture to yourself a hot September afternoon, a large room with a row of desks across cne end, and girls seated as far as possible from that formidable group of teachers at those desks, and you have a snapshot of the Freshman class of 1919. It was then three o’clock and at six-thirty that evening the last one had been registered and assigned a seat in that great study hall. The first days passed as all days have a habit of doing. We drifted with the teachers for a couple of weeks, but we finally organized with Kenneth Davis as president. During the time between the opening of school in September until in October we were steadily learning the ways of the wise, but it was in October that we were formally initiated. We showed our metal and endured all, but in December we saw our chance for revenge. We surprised ourselves as well as the other three classes by winning over the Sophomores in the inter-class debate. For a while all was quiet like the calm after the storm, then picnic, picnic, buzzed everywhere. We wert picnicing and the school year slid gently to a close. Then ended the ugly duckling’s stay in the barnyard. In the fall of 1920 fifty-two, a few less than when we started out, gathered together under Dayton Maclay, president, and decided to go into solitude and live a life of peace. Yes, we took a small part in passing affairs. We helped in a minor way -Ifca reen to initiate the latest Freshmen and went so far as to have a Freshmen-Sophomore party. We had found other occupations more profitable, I won’t say pleasant, in oui new life of quiet. We were absorbing Latin and Geometry. The year rolled along until finally again we heard the sound of picnic, picnic everywhere. We came out from our hiding place long enough to go picnicing to Peru. Thus another year of preparation was done. “And every clod feels a stir of might,” so did we when as Juniors we met, and elected Julius Liess to lead us along a Junior’s thorny pathway. For, “Still sits the schoolhouse by the road,” would hard luck never end? I admit we didn’t study Latin any-more, but there was Physics and advanced MathmaticsH! We were still in a retired stage and everything rolled by smoothly until we felt ourselves developing and we knew at last that we w’ere not destined to remain in the ugly duckling class always. Of course we had r.o idea of the wonderful changes ahead of us. Then one day we were told that the class winning in a ticket-sale contest would get in free at a picnic to be given at the expense of the other classes. We, the Juniors made up our minds to win, and win we did fair and square, but somehow it wasn’t so announced and the affair slid by; but, nevertheless, we had tried our wings and found them strong. We put on the Annual Junior-Senior Banquet and everyone admitted that we made it a success. We then decided to have a sneak day but that idea was wrought too young, for in trying to dawn swan’s feathers so soon we learned that only fullgrown swan’s are so privileged. Thus our three years of trial were over at last and we found ourselves full-fledged swans. Then began cur glorious reign as Seniors, no longer ugly ducklings, but swans. Do not misundei stand me. I do not mean facial beauty nor extreme gracefulness, but only that we are aware of our opportunity and ale prepared to live our lives as we find them. Fcr the first time we are really counting, before we were merely ma king time, but now each one has a goal to strive for. Sixteen of our fifty-one aie preparing for a life as teachers, others for a business life and still others fcr a life at College or University. There are eight less than when we entered in 1919. Of this number some have been honorably discharged from the great army of education and some are simply deserters from the ship. I believe we have the honor cf being the only Senior class to have a girl for president, this in the person of Ilda Schriefer, our efficient leader. And thus is the history of the class of ’23 divided into four parts as was the life of the Ugly Duckling, and as he developed and found his own kingdom, so will the class of ’23 reach its goal. —FAY E.

Honors 1920- 1921 The Freshman received three letters in football. 1921- 1922 The Sophomores received twelve letters in football, a gain of nine letters over last year. 1922- 1923 Juniors receive fourteen letters in football, making a total of twenty-nine letters earned by Juniors. The Juniors hold highest attendance record for the first three months of school. Juniors lead in shield-day drive. They claim as many E students for the first quarter as a'l the rest of the school combined. Another victory for the best class in High School! They put three of the four members on the debating team. The present Junior class has more students enrolled than any former third year class in Auburn High School. Athletics 1920-1921 While Freshmen we were represented in athletics by John Boyd, John McKnight, Walker Admire, Bertie Flack, Helen Frary, and Margaret Gillan. 1921- 1922 The Sophomore class of last year boasted of the following athletic stars: John Boyd, John McKnight, Wesley Martgan, Walker Admire, Jessen Foyt, Carroll Curtis, Beitie Flack, Ada Harmon, Margaret Gillan, Helen Frary, and Grace Watkins. 1922- 1923 A very exciting football game was played in which the Juniors defeated the rest of the High School. One-half of the girls’ basket ball team is made up of Juniors, and our girls do their share in winning all (?) the games. When a large number of green-looking (but of course not green-acting) Freshmen entered Auburn High in the fall of 1920, we were greeted with such taunts as “Greenhorn!” and “Know-nothing!” The boys were initiated in a far more exciting-manner, but after all was said and done we were given a picnic at Rock Quarry which made up for all former abuse. The Freshmen and Sophomores had a halloween party, which was enjoyed by all. The “eats” weie especially attractive to some. The Freshmen had a hard time party, and some of the costumes certainly showed ingenuity as well as hard times. The Sophomores decided to go back to childhood days, and so put on a “kid” party. The games and refreshments were in keeping with the event, and prizes for the “cutest kids” were given to Claud Williams and Iris Fennell. The Juniors spent a most enjoyable evening at a class party in the nature of a backwai d party. No one who did not wear his clcthes backwards was allowed tJ come, and there were some very comical appearing characters. We, the Juniors, wish to thank our sponsors for the interest they have taken in our class. We feel that much of our success as a class is due to their efficient leadership and we appreciate their untiring efforts in all our activities.

English explorers have been investigating several promising looking regions in North America, and have at last learned something of the education of man living about 2000 years ago. A document written on crude parchment was found in the ancient state of Nebraska, in the ruins of an old building with the name “Auburn High School” on its entrance. The writing, interpreted, reads as follows: “Auburn High School has now learned that Seniors are not fundamentals of knowledge and virtue, for the Sophomore class has shown by its various achievements that this former idea is not true. In September, 1922, we assembled for the second time as students in A. II. S., with full knowledge that we may be looked upon other than as a source of amusement, as is always the case with Freshmen. About 55 enrolled to pursue again the highway of knowledge, and after a few weeks we became an organized body. We selected Miss Ambrose as sponsor, Gladys Ruddy as class President, Harlan Smedley as Vice-President, Charles Grant as Treasurer, and Marie Klein as Reporter for the School News. It is to Miss Ambrose and our president that we owe much of our success; neither could have done better work in promoting class activities, and we take tliis means of expressing our sincere thanks to them. But why is this Sophomore class so important and essential? It is because we contribute to all branches of school activity. In athletics we are well represented, with William Armstrong and Hoy Masters as our chief stars in basket ball and football, respectively. In social events we are not lagging. We had a white elephant party in November and are anticipating another soon. The Sophomore class was well represented at the High School Night of the Methodist Revival Meeting, held in Auburn in February. Three of the seven members of the high school orchestra who come from the High School are Sophomores, and both boys’ and girls’ glee clubs have a goodly proportion of Sophomores, with Waitie Thurlow as pianist. Otis McQuary took one of the leading roles in the High School operetta, “Windmills of Holland,” given March 23. We have signs of oratory in our group; Martha Hughes was in the debating try-out, and stated her case in a clear and concise manner. Also several Sophomores are planning to enter the Declamatory Contest, to be held soon. And last, but not least, we are not lacking in the great purpose of school, high scholarship. With such a striking development in two years, wlmt will we be when we are Seniors Why, the biggest and best class ever turned out of Auburn High School. The above sketch of school life will furnish our chief source of information about ancient education, and we wish to encourage our explorers in their worthy work. —Harlan Smedley ’25. tjjjs Cleo Lechliter____ Howard Furlong Laurine Anderson Mildred Meyers _ FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS __________President ______Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer ____________Reporter MISS VALERA DOWNS Sponsor Parody on Scott’s “Patriotism” GRUDGE FOR GRUDGE Breathes there a student Who e’er has said, “There is a teacher With heart of lead,” Uuless that same student Some day has been asked In ninth period study Himself to bask ?

We think and sincerely hope that the upper classmen have realized that we lost the so-called “greenness” sometime during the first few weeks of school. On Thursday evening, October fifth, the Freshmen met, and were well represented, for the purpose of organizing for the year of twenty two and three. We are proud of the fact that Miss Downs was chosen as our sponsor. Cleo Lechliter was unanimously elected our President, Howard Furlong accepted the Vice Presidency, Laurine Anderson, Secretary and Treasurer while Mildred Myers was selected Reporter for the School News. We choose the Chrysanthemum as our class flower and Green and White as the class colors. Friday evening, November third, we had a Halloween party. Colleges were formed and all entertainments were among the colleges. Dainty refreshments were served. Although it rained constantly, we enjoyed ouselves until “lights out” time. Considering the fact that this class is far superior to any other Freshman class, or that we were so nearly equal to the upper classmen, they did not deem it necessary to so lower the dignity of the Freshmen as to force them through the trials of a reception. The Freshmen record of attendance during the first few months was among the highest. Cleo Lechliter and Marguerite O’Hara entered the Declamatory Contest. This shows our good representation in school activities. The class takes this opportunity of expressing its thanks to those members of the faculty who gave 11s talks 011 “How to Study.” Under Miss Down’s splendid guidance, we have had a very pleasant year and consider it well spent. —Laurine M.

Four years we have all worked together, And that wonderful motto did hold; Through Latin and History, Through English and Physics, And we’ve safely arrived at the goal. It will serve as a great inspiration, In the bright hours as well as the dark, So on your journey through life, Be the motto your guide, And you’ll safely anchor your barque. Hilde Zabel ’23. reen Class 0ropl)ecp Miss Helen Storms, Lincoln, Nebraska. Dear Miss Storms, We are having: such a wonderful trip and seeing so many of our school-mates that I will have to write and tell you all about it. We surely wish you could share it with us for we will never forget all you did for us when we were Seniors. It seems such a short time ago that we were ail together in the Auburn High School, but it has been twelve years, and we are now scattered all over the world. When Marggy Tankersley and I were teaching in Buhl, Idaho, we were wishing we could see all our classmates. One day in the spring of 1935 Marggy came to my room with a paper. She read me an advertisement about taking’ a trip around the world in an airplane. We both were interested and wrote letters to find out more about the trip. In a few days we received a letter from the head of the company, explaining the details. The letter was signed L. I. Streit; we immediately thought this must be our old school-mate and in a later letter found it to be he. We decided to go on the trip and left Buhl as soon as school was out and went to Chicago via rail. We stopped in Omaha and went down to Auburn for a day. As we expected, we found a few of our class there. Glen Williams had established an extensive taxi line; Robert Erisman had inherited a large farm and was a very able farmer; and Fay Brod was teaching English in Auburn High School. Ai'riving at our Hotel in Chicago, we noticed the names Faye Rowen and Lucile Simpson on the register. We inquired about them, and were directed to their room, where we had a very pleasant visit and learned that they were planning for the same trip as we were. The next day they took us to the office of the company where we met Lewis and his assistant, Raymond Kite. They said they would arrange it so that all four of us could go together, each plane carried sixteen persons. Raymond said we might be interested in meeting some of the drivers and mechanics, so he took us to the workshop, where we found Harold Paris and Howard Ferneau as expert drivers, and Dayton Maclay and Charles Lash as mechanics. We stayed in Chicago about a week and prepared for the trip. While shopping, we met John Cox, who was a wealthy banker. He took us to see his wife Dorothy Hughes. We also saw Gertrude Nitche, who was working in a department store and living with her Aunt. On the day of our departure, a large crowd gathered at the field to see us off. Besides the four of us who were to take the trip, there were two drivers, Harold Paris and Howard Ferneau, one mechanic, Charles, and six other persons. Just before we left, a small dark girl came running toward us, and at a short distance behind her was seen a figure, not so tall as Lincoln, nor yet so short as Boneparte, but combining the essential characteristics of both we recognized our class mate, Howard Pasco; the small girl proved to be his bride, Alberta Grandy. The first day’s ride took us to Washington D. C., where we stayed a day and visited Senator Cubert Hall. He told us that Eloise Conner was working in one of the Government offices there. Here we picked up three more passengers and started to cross the great deep. Having stopped at seven small islands, we reached London after six days of flying. In London we visited the noted places and accidently ran on to Julius Liess, who is U. S. Ambassador to England. After spending a week in this city, we crossed the English Channel in our airship and alighted in the Paris Field. In this French city we visited several museums and studios, and one afternoon while we were in a movie studio, we saw Johanna Jezewski as the leading lady in a new play. We talked with her and found that through the efforts of a friend she had gotten this position and become very noted in France. She gave us an address and said at that place we would find one of our class-mates. After roving the city several hours, we found the address and who should we find there, but Isabelle Snyder. She was studying French, Art and Muisc under very noted masters. Leaving Paris we went to Maisielles via Geneva. No Man’s Land, had been built up and was all rich farm land. In the port of Marseilles was an American ship. We went aboard and were glad to be among our own people again. We recognized one of the sailors as Ora Randall. He showed us through the ship, and in a small room below, we found Kenneth Davis just recovering fiom a bad case of sea sickness. Our next flight was to Tripoli, where we found Elsie Ross and Ellen Ubben working together as missionaries. The following day we flew to Cairo, where we rested several days before exploring the desert. We stayed at a large hotel where many Americans were, among them we ound Edith Snider, who was wandering leisurely about the desert writing scenarios. She told us that a caravan of Americans had gone out from Cairo several days before and with them were Myra Biggerstaff, who was making paintings from desert scenes, and Count De Lyrin Paris, who was traveling to keep his income tax down. Edith also told us that at the present time LaVeta Hanlan was at the head of the United Irish Liberalists, seeking to obtain the recognl-ticn of Dublin as the seat of world power. Cars then took us to the edge of the great desert, where the auto roads had not been completed. One of the surveyors on this road was Chester Combs. We crossed the rest of the desert on camels and reached the great tombs. King Tut’s Tomb was of little importance besides those discovered later. Returning to Calcutta, where we found Frances Kinghorn and Thelma Gerger.s as U. S. Missionaries. In Hanio, China, Minnie Baker was running a fashionable Ameiican Hotel, where we stayed long enough to become somewhat accustomed to Chinese manners. Then we flew to Hingwha, where we met Marlin Blount, who was traveling for his health, accompanied by his sister, Verna. A few days later while in Shanghi, we heard Hon. Everett Con-nett lecture on the Anti-dope question. Then we visited the city of Peking and found Ruby Criger teaching school, and Zelda Keedy was a special school nuise sent there by the U. S. Government. From there we went to Alaska via Lokyo and Aleutian Islands. Afer resting in Yukon city, we made the dangerous journey north to the newly discovered continent, where to our surprise we found a warm climate and tropical vegetation. There were a few scattered settlements. In the one where we landed we found Ilda Schriefer and her husband, who is a noted explorer. His private secretary is Marion Marsh. She still has bobbed hair. Ilda told us that Louise and Henriette Rogge and Hilda Zabel had just left for home the week before, having spent several months on the continent. We visited some of the settlements and the one we are in now was started by Elizabeth Wulf and her husband. Elizabeth received a letter from Genevieve Berg saying that she and Elizabeth Beauchamp were on their way to the new continent. I received a letter from Dorothy Meyers who is now teaching school in Northern Montana; she said Olive Adamson was teaching in a town about twenty miles from her. Leta Warnke has gone to Europe to introduce the new American Styles. I have taken you almost around the world telling you where the class of 1923 is, but I can not take you home. We will return to the U. S. in about a month. Yours sincerely, $3 X-'S Ellen Rohrs ’23. reen I TRIALS OF HIGH SCHOOL LIFE Some people think that school’s a snap, But if they knew the truth, perhaps They’d know that we work hard all day, And never get a chance to play. The teachers’ rules are strict and hard, And oftimes we get no reward For all the efforts that we make; Instead of honors are mistakes. But all these wrongs we do forgive As day by day we continue to live; We study, study, all night long, But even then we’re always wrong. Our hall nowadays has greatly changed, Since prof and the teachers rule and reign, And give us hard and threatening looks If one of us dare drop his books. We dare not whisper, smile, or grin, As we go passing out and in; Although we often wish to speak, We are fast learning to bo meek. This is not history, fame, or fiction, And does not warrant contradiction, But just a page of High School life, To show that we, too, have our strife.

Myra Biggerstaff ’23. jftrst $rt3e £ torp “The Lamp Seller of Bagdad” Many years ago you could have found him sitting in the bazaar in that sweating, dusty city of the Tigris, Bagdad. lie was an odd looking personage, although it was not Ids clothing which gave him the odd appearance. He wore a gown of dark wool hanging loose from the shoulders, but gathered in at the waist with a sasli of bright red. A turban of the same material as the gown was wound tightly around his head and made secure at the side with a clasp, set with the darkest of rubies. From his ears hung large gold rings, denoting a love for the finest. His feet were bare. He sat on the finest of Persian rugs. The entire abode breathed that languorous, spicy smell of the orient. What then was different? What made the wanderer stop and inquire concerning this seller of Bagdad? His face? Ah yes, it was that which was so different. The bushy eyebrows barely discernable below the dark turban, that dusky skin of which so little could be seen, for the black beard was of heavy growth. His nose was crooked, the nose of the Persian. However these features were only glanced at, for the wanderer was entranced by those wonderful black eyes which seemed as living gems of the most brilliant hue. This man was Hasan Ben Sabbah, however he was known to the daily visitors of the bazaar as only the Lamp Seller. For many years Sabbah had sold lamps, those of gold to the wealthy, and those of plaster to the poor. But always the shape and style of the lamp was the same, that of the old Persian vessel which resembled a rather flat pitcher. For many years this fact had given Sabbah cause for many hours of study. How strange that in this life everyone received the same article, but the difference came only in the quality. Quality! How strange too that to many the quality made no difference. To Sabbah a lamp was comparable to the purpose of one’s life, and the material of the lamp determined its quality. With the growth of this thought there also grew the thought of the measurements of quality. One day a young Persian girl of great beauty stopped at the booth Sabbah occupied. By her appearance Sabbah knew her to be ot a poor family. Her dress was torn and all but rags, while her feet .to reen were bare. In her hands sh carried a brown basket in which Sabhah could notice a few bundles. “What,” thought Sabhah, “does this poor child wish to purchase a lamp?” He soon discovered sin was merely “looking”. However after spying the golden lamp which had just been added to the collection, she inquired it’s price. On being told and finding it beyond her means, a look of the most sorrowful and disappointed nature spread over her face. On seeing this, Sabhah’s heart was touched, and he asked: “Wouldst thou not care to set the plaster lamps?” “Ah no,” the girl replied, “I like only the gold and as that is too dear, I shall wait until I have the money to puchase it, kind sir.” On hearing this, Sabhah said: “Because thou truly wisheth the best and continueth to wish for the best although thou knowest thou shalt never gain it, thou may have this golden vessel for the price of the plaster one.” Thereupon the girl purchased tin lamp and amid a chaos of delight and a shower of thanks to Sabhah, she went on her way. This incident continued to bother Sabhah for many days. What if the officials should find out he had lowered the price of a lamp! What if others inquired for a lamp of gold at the same price! However the question which called for more attention from Sabhah was: had he really strengthened the wish of that poor unfortunate girl for the best things possible? A few days later a wealthy merchant stopped at Sabhah’s quarters and asked for one of the cheapest plaster lamps. On showing him the cheapest one lie had, Sabhah cast such a questioning look at the man, that, feeling called upon to speak, he said: “I am wealthy so do not think I can afford no better. In my place of business I have lamps of the finest gold, but this is for my home. There we need no better.” And Sabhah having wrapped the lamp received a small coin for it and the man, with a surly “good day” departed. “Oh,” thought Sabhah, “to think that some people who can have the best in life are satisfied with the poorest, and others who are continually striving for the finest are forced to give up even the poorest to maintain their ideals.” That night in a dream Sabhah saw a lighted torch decend into his booth at the bazaar. The handle was of purest gold, the flame was of a reddish color. It floated gently down and when nearing Sabhah’s rug, remained in the air directly above it. The flame continued to burn, and gave out a glow of the most penetrating hue. When entering his booth tin next morning, to Sabbah’s gaze the torch was still there, to others the torch was not visible. However it continued to glow through all tin long years and indirectly it glowed for all passers-by. For the torch, that torch whose glow meant a full understanding of his fellowmen, had transfused itself through the eyes of Sabbah into his very soul. And so had we been fortunate enough many years ago to visit the old bazaar of Bagdad, we could have seen Sabbah sitting on his Persian rugs with his collection of lamps waiting for the rich to buy the gold and the poor the plaster. And after he passed into the silent realms of time, the glow was not forgotten. Many a time when “old man sun” was bidding his day’s goodbye to the children of Bagdad, and casting to the world that beckoning glow, a poor peasant would be heard to exclaim, “hook friend! look! is that not the glow of the lamp seller’s golden vessel?” Mary Cooper ’24.

The council truly represents the student body and all questions which directly affect the High School life are brought before it for consideration. A democratic school spirit is thus encouraged because the responsibility for good conduct is placed upon the students themselves. The council, during the past year, has shown itself to be an organization of real merit, for its action has greatly helped to maintain the standards of our High School.

It consists of class affairs, personal items, jokes, athletics, ward school items, cartoons and advertising. The “News” has served to bring tho Auburn citizens into closer touch with the aspirations and accomplishments of the schools. The paper was made possible by liberal business men of Auburn, whose advertising paid the expense of paper and printing. We greatly appreciate the cooperation shown hv those men, not only in the “School News” but in all branches of school activity. The members of the staff have worked faithfully in order to give tlx1 Auburn public tin best possible school news, and they feel that their efforts have been amply rewarded by the interest which the paper has created throughout Auburn. g . m. c. a. The Y. W. C. A. lias had one of the most successful years since its organization in March four years ago. On May 2 and 3, 1922 the motion picture “The Power Within”, was shown at the Court Square Theatre under the auspicies of the V. W. C. A. Considering the weather, the crowd was very good. Our new members, thirty-four in number, were recognized early in the year with a pretty candle service . This year our membership of fifty-four exceeds that of all former years. An opening party for all high school girls, was held in the gymnasium early in November. A second social event was a part} at the home of Ellen Rohrs. Every one had a splendid time. As our share in the Christmas contributions, each girl brought a can of vegetables to be distributed by tin Welfare Society. Our weekly meetings have proved exceptionally interesting. The topics of discussion were, “World Fellowship”, led b Bessie Bath, Mary Cooper and Martha Hughes, “Myself”, by Famine Anderson, “The Other Girl,” by Eloise Conner, “God”, by Gladys Ruddy, “My Community, My Home, and Mv School” by Frances Kinghorn. reen The society has made remarkable progress under the efficient leadership of our four sponsors. Miss Adah Bath, who has been our head advisor since the club began, is indispensable. Although tins is Miss Overvaag’s first year with us, she has shown great enthusiasm and has added much to the interest of the meetings. Miss Ruth Perry has been active in college Y. W. C. A. work and she has proved of great value to us. Miss Mary Gillan who has been a splendid advisor in the society for about four years, resigned in February and Miss Lulu Allen was elected in her place. The officers for this year were: President_______________________________________________Ihla Schriefer Vice President _________________________________________________Margaret Giillan Secretary-------------------------------------------------- Edith AVulf Treasurer_________________________________________________________Louise Rogge To complete our activities for the year, we are planning a Mothers’ and Daughters’ Banquet, for sometime in May.

In addition to the contest proper four reels cf motion pictures, furnished by the Extension Bureau of the University of Nebraska, were shown. A piano solo was beautifully rendered by Miss Marie Nelson. Every contestant had an equal opportunity to gain honors since only or.e had ever before participated in an event of this kind.

The third place was a tie between Miss Marguerite O’Harra and Miss Christine Cotton. Pauline Rohrs was unable to represent Auburn High School in the District Contest at Omaha, so Cleo Lechliter participated in the event and won second place. Brbattng MR. CASWELL Coach The success of the debating team is largely due to Mr. Caswell’s untiring efforts and thorough knowledge of debating. ss reen The Debating Team was organized the second semester under the leadership of Mr. Caswell. The members were chosen from a try-out in which there were thirteen contestants. Margaret Gillan, Marie Nelson, John McKnight and Isabelle Snyder were awarded places on the team. The question for debate as given by the Nebraska Debating League was: Resolved that Nebraska should adopt the Kansas In- dustrial Court System. Auburn (affirmative)—Beatrice (negative). At Auburn, February I). Won by Beatrice, 2 to 1. Auburn (affirmative)—Fairbury (negative). At Auburn, February If). Won by Auburn, unanimous. Auburn (affirmative)—Wymoro (negative). At Auburn, Febru ary 2d. Won by Auburn, unanimous. Peru (affirmative)—Auburn (negative). At Peru, April 6, Won by Auburn, unanimous. Auburn (negative)—Pawnee City (affirmative). At Auburn, April 10. Won by Auburn, unanimous. Humboldt forfeited the debate to Auburn. The debating team surpassed all others in the district and was awarded the district championship. This means that it is classed as one of the eleven best teams of the state. Marie Nelson, Margart Gil lan and Isabelle Snyder represented Auburn High School in the State Debating Contest, which was held at Lincoln May 10. RESULTS OF DEBATES “A” CLUB The “A” Club was organized last year by the students who had hern awarded a letter some time during the past year. Only students who 1 ave earned a letter by their faithful work in some line of school activity, such as athletics and debating are considered members ot tins organization. The purpose of this club is to promote and introduce brotherly spiiit among its members and fellow students. It also encourages clean sportsmanship in all interschool forensics and athletics. It as sures other teams that on all occasions they will be treated fair and squaie by any representative from the High School. In this way it en courages honesty and good conduct among the stundents and creates a better school atmosphere. dBtrls’ (Bln Club The creditable work which has been accomplished this year by the Girls’ Glee Club was largely due to the ability of the director, Miss Raker. The services of Miss Waitie Thurlow, their accompanist, also assisted in making the work a success. The girls with the cooperation of the boys’ chorus presented the operetta, “Windmills of Holland.” Several of the girls carried leading roles and the remainder formed a chorus of farmer’s daughters. The appearance of the Glee Club on several other occasions displayed the fact that the accomplishments of the chorus are worthy of commendation. Scarlet dn' 1 Qr. een t ops’ J5Irr Club Till Boys’ Glee Club lias had an unusually successful year. It was organized under the efficient supervision of the music director, Miss Baker, and its progress has been quite marked. The class is fortunate in having for pianist Harlan Smedley, to whom is due no small amount of credit. A number of well-known selections have been studied, and the boys have taken a great interest in the work. The Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs cooperated in presenting the operetta “Windmills of Holland”. It was owing to the untiring efforts of Miss Baker, and to the faithful work of the classes that this play was a great success. “MEtntimtlls of UMlanti” A musical operetta, “ indmills of Holland”, was given by the Glee Clubs at the Rex Theatre, March 23. it was directed by Miss Lucie Baker and Miss Myrtle Nelson. The operetta was a pronounced success, and more than rewarded the students for their earnest efforts. The proceeds of the play were used to start a piano fund for the grade schools. The wooden shoes, windmills and costumes made the play seem very realistic, The cast of characters was as follows: Mynheer Hertogenbasch----------------------------------------Otis McQuary Vronn Hertogenbasch, his wife-------------------------Helen Frary Wilhehmna, a daughter ________________________________Ellen Rohrs Hilda, a daughter_______________________________Marggy Tankersley Boh Yankee, in love with Wilhelmino--------------------Lynn Paris Franz, rich farmer’s son, in love with Hilda------Howard Ferneau Katrina, rich farmer’s daughter----------------------------LaVeta Hanlan Chorus of Farmer’s daughters Chorus of workhands m c reen ©rcbcstta The orchestra lias proved to be one of the most important phases of musical activity in our High School. The success of this organization is largely due to the supervision of Miss Baker. The orchestra made its first appearance at the Iviwanis Club Banquet and since that time has furnished music for several other occasions. It is composed of the following members: Violins—Carl Linn, John Harmon, and Cook Wakeman. Saxophones—Carroll Curtis and Wilbur Maclay. Cornets—Kenneth Watkins and Sleeth Hacker. Clarinet—Cubert Hall. Piano—Harlan Smedley. Qreen -fr - ,'|M ADMIRE “Walker” played both guard and halfback and was a very good man wherever he played. He has another year with the team. ANDREW ‘Andy” played guard and was an excellent man for the position. He was very good on both the offensive and defensive. He will be back next year. ANDREWS “Andy” was one of the smallest men on the team but he was also one of the fastest. He was a sure tackier and goed at catching passes. He was at his best when playing end. COMBS “Ches” at tackle was a great help to the team. He was a hard hitter and a sure tackier. He will be greatly missed next year. Qreen CURTIS “Bud” played several positions and was good at all of them. He began the season at halfback but was found to be better at fullback. He will probably hold down the same position next year. CROOKER “Crooker” held down the position of guard and was a steady, dependable player. He will be a great help to the team next year. FLACK “Captain Flack” played both halfback and end. He hit the line hard and was very fast on his feet. He was also chosen to pilot next year’s team. LI ESS “Liess” did not begin playing until late in the season but when he took his place as guard he went right into the game. He will be missed next year. car. let dnd een McKNIGIIT “Jig” did the head work for the team and diu it in a very efficient manner. As well as calling signals he did practically all of the passing. Big things are expected of him next year. PARIS “Liekem” at half-back, was one of the main factors of the team. He was very fast on his feet and his line-plunging featured most of the games. He will be greatly missed from next year’s team. WILLIAMS At the first of the season “Bud” was thought to be too light to play center but he soon proved himself to be a real man and played the game accordingly. His passing was also very good. DAVIS “Ken” did not get to play a great deal but he was in the game enough to prove that he would be a regular were he to be here next year. He played end and was a hard man to get past. cox Scarlet aSl Q reen “John” did not get to play very much but In was in the game enough to prove that In can play like a veteran. It is unfortunate for the team that he will not be back next year. COACH ROWLAND To Coach Rowland goes the credit for making the football team all that it ever was. He worked with the team every night after school for about two months and did his best to produce a winning squad. All of the members of the team as well as the student body greatly appreciate his efforts and hope that lie will return next year. vr� dfnotball As soon as school started this year all the boys began to talk about football and big things were predicted for the team. Soon a meeting was called for all interested in the game and a large number of hoys reported. Plans were made for the season, suits were issued, and practice began. The first game of the season was played at home with Bratton Union. The visiting team was outplayed all the way through and lost the game by a score of 53 to 0. Every man on the Auburn team played an excellent game. On October 3rd the team played at Nebraska City. The game was very fast and hard fought, both teams playing their best. During the first half Auburn was outplayed, Nebraska City scoring two touchdowns but in the second period, the teams played to a scoreless tie. Nebraska City could gain little or nothing through the Auburn line and was obliged to resort to trick plays, both of her touchdowns being made by means of these. Tecumseh High came to Auburn on October 8th, bringing a fast squad which had but little difficulty in defeating the home team by a score of 47 to (i. The Auburn team was outweighed by 35 pounds to the man and as a result the boys were obliged to work very hard to hold their opponents to even a 47 to (i score. In the last few minutes of the game, Paris, Auburn half back, intercepted a Tecumseh forward-pass and sprinted 30 yard for a touchdown. Up to this time in the season, no other team had scored upon the Tecumseh eleven. The next game of the season was played at Pawnee City. It was simply an off day for the home team and the game was lost by a large score. The Pawnee City eleven put up a scrap that was equal to, or better than, that of the fast Tecumseh squad. On November 3rd. the team dropped a game to the Fall City eleven oy a 10 to 6 score. The game was very fast and full of interest. Flack, Auburn halfback, made a 60 yard run through a broken field for Auburn’s only touchdown. Falls City scored twice on forward-passes and once on a trick play. The out of town team was outclassed at straight football. November 10th. the team went to Rockport, Mo., and brought back the large end of a 12 to 8 score. Flack crossed tin Rockport goal for two touchdowns, Rockport scoring a touchdown and a safety. The teams were very evenly matched and both played an excellent game. Before the game, Rockport was given a slight edge over the Auburn team. It was one of tin best and cleanest contests in which the Auburn team has participated this season. What was, perhaps, the hardest fought game of the season, was played at Clarinda, la., on November 17th. The teams were very evenly matched and neither team threatened to score until Flack, of Auburn, broke loose and went around left end for the only touchdown of the game. Forwardpassing was practically impossible as tin game was played on a very muddy field. On November 24th., Auburn High defeated the Weeping Water eleven in a fast, clean game on the local field. Every man on the team played an excellent game. Linebucking, with Paris as the star, was the feature of the game, lie always hit the line for a good substantial gain. Score: Auburn 20—Weeping Water 13. The last game of the season on Auburn’s schedule was played at Peru on Thanksgiving Day. The rivalry between Auburn and Peru is always very great and both teams were exceedingly anxious to win this game. Auburn started off on the wrong foot and Peru soon gained the lead, remaining there the rest of the game. Several times Auburn threatened to score but was unable to carry the ball across for the counter. Andrews played the best game for Auburn. The final score was 27 to 0, with Peru on top. Soon after the final game, letters were awarded to the following: Walker Admire, Faye Andrew, Ralph Andrews, Chester Combs, Car- to e£g . reen roll Curtis, Alien Crooker, Bertie Flack, Julius Liess, John Mcfcnight, Lynn Paris, Claude Williams, and Kenneth Davis. Thus ended the season for the Auburn High School Football Team of 1922. Every member of the student body greatly appreciates the efforts of the team to put our school upon the map, and all wish tlie best of luck to the team of next year. Although four members of the team of 1922 will not be back next year there will be plenty more to take their places when the season starts. The school is assured of a winning team so when the season rolls around, everybody get behind and push! - Scarlet d td Qr cert basketball Although football is very well liked by the residents of Auburn, basket ball seems to be the favorite sport of the year and as soon as the football season was over, basket ball came to the front. A meeting was held for all interested and many of the boys attended. Practice began with about MO boys on the squad. After a few nights of practice some of them became discouraged and dropped out. In this manner the squad was reduced to about two teams although the regular team was not selected until two weeks later. It included the following: Chester Combs center, Bert Flack and Carroll Curtis forwards, Kenneth Davis and Lynn Paris guards. William Armstrong and Wade Culwell acted as substitutes. Combs was made acting Captain until later in the season when Paris was appointed. Both handled the team in a very efficient manner.

His passing was also very good. He will be very valuable to next year’s team. Bert Flack played the other forward and was very good for the position. He also played guard. He was very fast on his feet and was exceptionally good at carrying the ball down the floor. He will be back next year. Chester Combs, at center, was a steady, dependable player and could always be depended upon to get his man. He was very good at caging long shots as well as blocking those of the opposing team. He will be greatly missed from next year’s team. Lynn Paris, guard, was one of tin mainstays of the team. He was a fast and steady player. IIis passing was accurate and his goal shooting good. It will be hard to find a man to fill his place. Kenneth Davis played the other guard position. He was an exceptional man on the defensive. His ability at breaking up passes and blocking shots kept our opponent’s scores to a low margin. veen William Armstrong was a substitute forward until late in the season when he was given a regular place on the team. He showed great form and big things are expected of him in the next two years. Wade Culwell did not get to play much this year but he was in the game enough to prove that he will be a regular on the next year’s team. He is a steady, dependable player. On December 1st., Humboldt met Auburn with a team that they considered very fast. However, the Auburn team was a trifle faster and the Humboldt team was easily defeated. Score: Auburn 24— Humboldt 13. The next week Pawnee City came to Auburn with the intention of cleaning house. Imagine their surprise and dismay at losing the game by a score of Id to 18. The game was just as exciting as indicated by the score and was anybody’s game until the final whistle. On .January 17, the team went to Nebraska City to play one of the hardest games of the season. The game was tied until the last minute of the game when an Auburn player fouled, giving the game to Nebraska City by one point. The team won the scond game played with the Humboldt five this season on January ldth. Humboldt was again outplayed and Auburn came out on top with a 28 to 13 score. January 24th, was an unlucky day for the Auburn team. On this day the hoys went to Falls City where they were defeated by a large score. They played hard but their forwards simply could not locate the basket. On January 26th, the Milford team came to Auburn and was defeated by a margin of two points. The score was tied when the final whistle blew and the teams were obliged to play an extra period. During this time Milford scored once and Auburn twice, Curtis and Flack making the points. The Talmage team was the next to meet defeat at the hands of the Auburn basketeers. The game was very close and was not won until the last minute when Auburn scored, winning the game by a margin of two points. REVIEW OF TI1K (JAMES ■K i a reen 111 the next game, Auburn was defeated by the fast Peru team. The score was nearly even until Peru became lucky in the last quarter and ran up a large score on the local team. On February 7th, the Firth team came to Auburn and won an exciting game by a small margin. The floor work of the teams was nearly equal but the Firth team had the edge at basket shooting. The visiting team was coached by Harold Davis, a former basket ball star of Auburn. The team lost their second game of the week at the hands of Syracuse. The score was nearly tied at the end of the first half but in the final period the visitors came back stronger and easily enlarged their end of the score. On February 14th, the team went to Peru determined to make up for t1 e defeat earlier in the season. The Peru players were very much at I ome on their own floor however, and defeated the Auburn team in a hard fought game. The Peru lead was not as great as that of the first game played between the two teams. On February 16th, Nebraska City came to Auburn with the hope of again winning over the local team. They were not disappointed since they held the larger end of the score, after a hard fought battle. On February 28, the team defeated the fast Falls City team in the hardest fought game of the season. The visiting team held the lead until the last minute of the game when Curtis scored for Auburn. The game was the best seen on the local court this season. The team lost the third game played this season with the Syracuse team, on March 2nd., Syracuse ran up a large lead in the first half of the game but Auburn came back strong in the latter part and nearly overcame the lead, scoring 16 points to their opponent’s 6. However, they began too late in the game. The last game of the season was played on the Coliseum floor at Lincoln during tin State Tournament. The team was placed in class C and was obliged to meet the DeWitt five. They lost the game by a score of 12 to 7. SECOND TEAM Opposition in practice is necessary to produce a winning team. For this reason a reserve team was organized from the more inexperienced members of the squad. The reserves did a great deal in helping to make a good, strong first team. Besides this, they played one game. The only game on the reserve’s schedule was with the Syracuse second team. Syracuse was made to fight every minute of the game but owing to the inexperience of the lighter Auburn team, finally won the game. The reserves played an excellent game considering that this was the only one they had played. The Auburn Second Team included the following: Sutton Wright and Clyde Wiser forwards, Harlan Gillispie center, Quentin Sloan Howard Furlong, John Ferneau and James O’Hara guards. Pait of these players will probably win places on the first team next year. (Kiris’ IBasftetball The girls of the High School were not satisfied to let the boys get all the credit for putting our town on the map so early in the season they formed a basket ball team under the supervision of the Misses Moor and Overvaag. The team was a big success, winning eight of the eleven games played. The members of the team were: Ilda Schriefer and Helen Frary forwards, Margaret Gillan, Clarine Anderson, and Ruth Adamson centers, Eloise Connor, La Yota llanlan, and Marggy Tankersley guards. .tea ' 'Pj c rlet df d Green (JAMES AND RESl l rs Auburn 12 __________Alumni 10 Auburn 42______Pawnee City 15 Auburn 56 ________Humboldt 15 Auburn 21 Johnson 10 Auburn 38 _________Talmage 2 Auburn 10---- Auburn 14___________Johnson 29 Auburn 28 Stella 12 Auburn 31 __________Verdon 12 Auburn 21_____Nebraska City 18 Auburn 18________Falls City 27 Falls City 19 llda Schriefer, “Shorty”, was the captain and the mainstay of the team. She played right forward and was the main goal shooter of the team. She will be greatly missed by next year’s team. Helen Frary, “Podunk”, played the other forward and filled the position in a very capable manner. She showed excellent form at basket shooting especially at long shots and always managed- to be open when she got hold of the ball. Margaret Gillan, “Dutch”, held down the position of running center and was very good at it. She was unable to play the greater part of the season because of sickness and she was surely missed by the rest of the team. She will fill the same position next year. Clarine Anderson, “Bobby”, who was the other center, was the smallest player on the team. She was also one of the fastest and she added a great deal of life to the game with her pep and high spirits. She will be with the team next year. Eloise Conner, at guard, had a great deal to do with the team winning so many games. She was a steady dependable player and a very close guard. It is the team’s hard luck that she will graduate this year. LaVeta Hanlan, “Irish”, was a sure thing when playing guard. She had a great desire for “mixing things up” and could always be depended upon to play the game. She, also, graduates this year. 3a r 2±. c Scarlet and ( ; een ' 'f. r xaem ‘1 ■fea reen SS i Judge—Where wuz you when she threw the lamp—speak up— 1 say where wuz you ?
