[18] @entor Glass J3tstorp IN the fall of 1922, a crew of sixty-five boarded the train. School Life, which ran between 1922 and 1926, in order to get some of the rudiments of the feat of engineering. In our apprentice stage, known as the Freshman year, we were advised by the higher officials, the faculty, until we were able to choose Miss Downs, engineer; Cleo Lechliter, conductor, Howard Furlong, assistant conductor; Laurine Anderson, financier and secretary; and Mildred Myers, telegrapher and reporter. We managed to glean the essential facts of our education on this first run and to become acquainted with the mechanical part of engineering. By the time we had reached the city of 1923, the officials gave us a leave of absence for three months after which our crew was promoted to run 1923 and 4. Another crew took our former place. We were now considered a very intelligent crew and were able to give much information to those below us. Although some had been represented on the previous run, more of our number were eligible to take out membership in the various guilds and unions. Our crew, termed the sophomores, were well known and respected. On this run Mrs. Grandy was engineer; Francis Avey, conductor; Katherine Allen, assistant conductor; Varro Rhodes, financier and secretary; Laurine Anderson, reporter. But now the officers deemed it wise to promote us to a more trust-worthy position, or to run 1924 and 5. We were well represented in the athletic and debating guilds, and the G. R. and Hi-y unions, as well as having representatives in other organizations. Several of our members were also awarded badges of merit and workmanship, bearing the inscription, “A.” We also sponsered a Lyceum course for the benefit of the Company workman. To show our gratitude, we gave a banquet, to which the Sen;or crew and higher officials were invited. On this run. Miss McGrew served as engineer, with Mrs. Grandy retained; Varro Rhodes, conductor; Laurine Anderson, ass’stant; Cleo Lechliter, financier; Roy Masters, secretary. Then the Company gave us a still higher award. We were promoted to the highest run, 1925 and 6, and were termed the Senior Crew. We entered upon this run, full of enthusiasm and spirit, yet with some misgivings, as it was the last run for this train. And because it was the last run, we determined to make it the most successful one of all. For greater efficiency in this work, we elected three engineers, Mrs. Maclay, Miss Codington and Mr. Bedell. The conductor was Roy Masters, assistant conductor, John Ferneau, financier, Fred Allen. Near the end, we put on a play, “The Charm School,” for the benefit and pleasure of tho co-workers. Although a few have dropped out, and others have been enlisted, the Senior crew have made the run successfully, and with dignity as befits workers of our position. We sincerely thank the officials and engineers for their splendid guidance in these four runs. Just now we are waiting for the train, Life, where we may gain a still greater education, and at this moment we hear it whistling in. Laurine Anderson ’26. [19] SENIOR CLASS PLAY “£!)e Cl)ann £ cl)oor Presented by A. H. S. SENIOR CLASS That “Charm” is the most decisive factor in the life of a woman was proved when this clever comedy, “The Charm School,” was presented April 30, 1926. The fun begins when an aunt of Austin Bevans dies leaving him in charge of a girls’ school. He assumes his responsibilites and the comedy glorifies a little mischief maker. Elsie Bendotti, president of the senior class. The school curriculum is thrown to the wind, and in youth’s headlong flight of fancy romance blossomed into a fitting climax for the clever comedy.

LEVETA WHIT WELL (Willie) [27] {Junior Class Jjistorp OH that day, in the fall of 1923 when as a class of happy-go-lucky, hot-ally dreading freshmen, we embarked upon the sea of High School Life. Little we knew of Latin or Mathematics,—“ignorance is bliss”—we were blissful. A worthy set of officials were elected that year, John Pearson, president, Gordon Scoville, vice-president, Maxine Yost, treasurer, Margaret Lambert, secretary and Elizabeth Reed, class reporter. All the “frosh” social functions which included several parties and picnics were highly successful which helped our “fresh year to slip quickly and mercifully by. As “Sophs” the old class came back having outgrown fully their chief characteristic of the preceding year—“the shamrock hue.” A class meeting was held in which Ted Masters was elected president, Margaret Lambert vice-president, Julia Skeen secretary and treasurer. Miss Yont, now Mrs. Maclay, was elected Sponsor. During the first year Ted Masters was our only letter man, he earned his in basket ball, but in our Sophomore period Bill Keyt made a letter in basket ball and track and Ted one in football and another in basketball. Don Maclay played a fast forward which won h'm a letter also. Kathryn Rohrs represented us on the Debating team as well as winning first place in the Dramatic section of the Declamatory contest and representing Auburn at Omaha in the district contest. Dorothy Greenlee also took part in Declamatory work. Our Basketball team of both this year and last has won the class tournament as well as giving the faculty a mighty nice trimming. Our Sophomore year slipped by and at last—the glorious, the great, the hoped for, has happened—we are Juniors! Yes there is no doubt but that we are about the best Junior class that has occurred for quite a spell! Since last year no doubt, at the least. Our Junior Class Play, “Stop Thief,” went over big. The characters were well acted and interpreted. Space prohibits a more detailed discussion of the play. The money goes to feed the Seniors, what little there was left. Our class officers of this year are Donald Maclay president, Eugene Rarick vice-president, Margaret Lambert secretary and treasurer. The class has contributed quite heavily to the athletic events this last year. Eugene Rarick, Paul Armstrong, Ted Masters, and John Pierson making letters in football. William Keyt, Donald Maclay, Eugene Rarick, and Ted Masters, fought for and earned their letters in basketball. Ted was this year’s captain and helped pilot the team through a most successful season. In the non-athletic field John Pierson represented us on the Debating Team and Dorothy Greenlee took first place in the Dramatic Section of the Declamatory contest. Now the future looks prosperous and if some terrible and unforeseen calamity does not overtake us I am sure it will prove to be so. The only regret we have is the fact that out of the seventy-five who started out with us some twenty have disappeared. However we are well prepared for the position which we will take next year as dignified and very brilliant Seniors. [28] JUNIOR CLASS PLA “£ top Chief” “Stop Thief,” the clever crook comedy, presented at the Bennett Theatre, April 5, 1926, was a decided success.

All these differ from one another in customs, dress, and school spirit. Several months of summer vacation separate these from one another. Of these the greatest are the Sophomores, because they are far removed from both the greenness of the Freshmen and the intelligence of the Seniors. Shortly after the beginning of school a conference was held for the purpose of appointing commander for Caesar’s favorite legion, the Sophomores. Clarence Davis was placed in command of the entire legion, and Clarke Foyt was appointed lieutenant, and Miriam McGrew custodian of important papers and money. During the first semester this legion was busy gaining honors. It has the distinction of having its share of honor students. Those receiving “A” pins are: Marie Burger Sylvia Davis, Claire Nelson, Ruth Cowell, Ada Stone, Ruth Schaffer, Wilfred Roy, Lorine Gibson, Margaret Hawxby, and Miriam McGrew. This class has been represented in athletics and has loyally supported its leaders. Earl Andrews was appionted Captain of the Boy’s Basket Ball team and Ada Stone Captain of the girl’s team. Our class was also represented in the High School Operetta. Truly the Sophomores are worthy of special mention, for never before in the memory of our fathers has such a large and intelligent class been known. SO----SO-----PHO------MO-----MO------RES. SOPHOMORES [34] Miriam McGrew, ’26. [38] On September fifth, nineteen hundred twenty-five, about sixty-three freshmen entered Auburn High School with a dark green cloud hanging over them. However, we soon, began to find our places and the sun began to break through. We held a classmeeting over which our principal, Mr. Mead presided. Neal Andrews was elected President, James Roby, Vice-President, and Homer Myers, Secretary and Treasurer. Lillemor Taylor was later made freshman reporter. At a later date, Miss Codington presided over a meeting. When Mr. Underwood was elected class sponsor. James Roby made the first team in football. A Freshman boys’ team was organized and played interclass games. We have six members who have received A pins up to the present time. Honor again came to the freshmen when Avis Wiser, Elizabeth Sloan and Neal Andrews played important roles in the High School operetta, We are indebted to the P. T. A., who entertained the Freshmen at a well planned party February eighteenth, nineteen twenty-six. Patriotic colors were carried out in decorations, prizes for progressive games, and in the delicious refreshments served. The party was enjoyed by everyone and voted a real success. The sun is shining through now and we sincerely hope and believe that by the time we reach our goals as Seniors we shall have found the silver lining. Through the dark cloud shining, There’s now a silver lining, If we keep on climbing, We soon shall see but it. [36] Nina Burdette, ’29.

Since that time it has continued to grow until the membership has reached about seventy-five. De Molay is an organization for boys between the ages of 16 and 21. Its purpose is to create a higher standard of living and bring young men into a closer fellowship. By its teachings, the Order tends to make of the boys of today, the highest type citizens of tomorrow. The Nemaha Chapter has been especially active in every way since its organization. It has sponsored a number of successful social events and participated in a number of other activities. The three principal officers are: Master Councilor_______________________________.___________Cleo Lechliter Senior Councilor __________________________________________Varro Rhodes Junior Councilor_________________________________________Cook Wakeman [44] I bpstcal education This year a Girl’s Physical Education Class was organized under the direction of Miss Codington and Mrs. Maclay. Due to the size of the class it was divided into two sections. Each section met once a week. The first semester Miss Codington had charge of one group to whom she gave much training in marching, setting-up exercises and dumb-bell work. The other group under the direction of Mrs. Maclay played games. Of all the games played, indoor base ball seemed to create most interest and enthusiasm. And true to style, they “scabbed” the umpire frequently. The second semester the divisions were reversed and those who had been given the technical work took up games and those who had been having games began their “Military” training. Before school is out it is hoped that a ball team may be chosen from each division to play a “championship game.” Last fall four rainbow basket ball teams were organized with Lois Schriefer, Ada Stone, Margaret Lambert and Frances Tignor, captains. These teams played the preliminaries for several of the boys games. The champion “Color” team is as yet undecided. No out-otown games were played by any girls’ team this year. [45] Ct)e dBtrl iftestrtoes The work of the Girl Reserves this year has been very creditable. The outstanding features in their work were: 1. Membership drive (Japanese Party). 2. Thanksgiving contribution. 3. Xmas offering. 4. Sponsoring of “The Keeper of the Bees.” 5. Alumni meeting. The sponsors for this year were Miss Montgomery membership sponsor, Miss Carpenter, Social sponsor, and Miss Anderson, Service sponsor.

Letters are given as a mark of distinction to those who have met the requirements necessary for receiving such an honor in athletics, Debating and Declamatory work. There are about twenty-five students in this organization. All of them have earned a letter in some activity. Some have more than one letter for the same year— having participated in several different activities. Both boys and girls may earn letters since girls have many opportunities to do so in girls athletics as well as other things. This is one of the oldest organizations of the high school. Its purpose is to encourage participation in school activities. [48] Debating The first and second team this year were selected chiefly out of Superintendent Graham’s oral English class of last year. Only one of the team was an experienced debater, having been a member of the team the previous year. Auburn high school won second place in the southeastern district this year, having won every debate except one, thereby losing the first place to the high school at Brock, Nebraska. Considering the fact thaS the same team debated both sides of tin question in the district, they did very well. The subject this year was “Resolved that the members of the President’s cabinet should have the right to the floor of congress.” The members of the first team were: .John Pierson, Miles Lambert, and Cleo Lechliter, the members of the scond team being Irma Tinnemeyer, Joseph Kite and Eugene Rarick. The team was coached by Mr. R. A. Underwood, who also piloted the Auburn debating team the year before to draw for second place. The results of this year’s debates were: Auburn vs. Bratton Union, won by Auburn Unamious Auburn vs. Humboldt, won by Auburn two to one Auburn vs. Tecumseh, won by Auburn Unanimous. Auburn vs. Peru, won by Auburn Unamious Auburn vs. Brock, won by Brock Unamious [49] © rrlamatorp The annual Declamatory contest was held March L’i), in the tabernacle. The large audience present greatly enjoyed the different numbers. Miss Hacker supervised this work and much of the success is due to her coaching. The girls of the Glee Club sang several songs which were highly appreciated. The program was as follows: Humorous Division— “Jimmy Brown’s Sister’s Wedding”_____________('arietta Curtis “Control of Body by Mind”________________________Hilda Epler “The First Call”_____________________________Bernice Deakins “On the Sight-Seeing Automobile”_____________________Lillemor Taylor “Betty at the Base Ball Game”_______________Catherine Rarick Oratorical Division— “The Immigrant Speaks”________________________________Richard Penny Music_______________________________High School Girls Chorus Dramatic Division— “Nathan Hale, The Martyr Spy”________________Dorothy Greenlee “Billings of 4!)”________________________________________Lela Simpson “The Parting of the Pals”_____________________Nina Burdette “The Littlest Rebel”_________________________________Katheryn Rohrs Music______________________________High School Girls Chorus The judges agreed in their decisions which were as follows: Humorous division, Catherine Rarick first; Lillemor Taylor, second.

This branch of the Commercial Department has done very creditable work this year. Mrs. Grandy is the teacher of the Commercial Department. [53] PATE COACH Much thanks is due Coach Pate for the great interest he has shown for his work as coach this year. Pate succeded in taking a team of mostly green fellows and moulding them into a team that Auburn can well be proud of. F. ALLEN Allen was one of the most flashy backs that over played on an Auburn eleven. Real difficulty was found in stopping Allen. Fred, however, was unfortunate in receiving an injury in the early part of the season which hindei’ed him much. ARMSTRONG Armstrong was a bulwark in the Auburn line. Armstrong stopped repeatedly the plunger of the opposing backs. Armstrong will be back next year. BURGER Burger was one of Auburn’s most steady and dependable players. Husk showed an uncanny ability at getting through and breaking up the opposing teams’ formations. Burger made the All Southeastern the last two years. F. CLARK Clark, at guard, was one of Auburn’s most brilliant players. Clark stone-walled all offenses of the opposing team and was at all times a very conscientious player. C. FLACK Steve showed himself to be a real fighter and he was to be found in the thick of the fray upon all occasions. In the course of the season Flack played nearly every position on the team and played them in a very creditable fashion. Flack will not be back next year. LAMBERT Lambert played his position at guard in a very commendable manner. He was a real fighter. He will be lost to Auburn next year. CAPTAIN R. MASTERS Masters showed true ability as a leader in his generalship of the Auburn team. Masters contributed much toward the success of the team. Olie made the All Southeastern second team. L541 T. MASTERS Masters was out of the game much on account of injuries. Masters was a true leader and called the signals in a manner which begot confidence and co-operation from his team mates. Ted will be back to A. H. S. next year. J. O’HARA Jim is one of the true fighting Irish type. If it was possible to stop any play around Jim’s end it was stopped by Jim. O’Hara will not be back next year. J. PIERSON Pierson could always be depended upon to do his part. John was never caught loafing ano played his position at guard like an old veteran. RARICK Rarick showed his true worth by working up from a substitute to one of the most hard fighting, hard hitting and brilliant man on the team Rarick will be back next year. J. ROBY Although this was Boby’s first year he showed the ability of a far more experienced man in analyzing and breaking up plays. Roby will be back next year. M. SCOVILLE Rocky was in the thick of the fight and was a Rocky was in the thick of the fifht and was a hard hitter as well as a good open field runner. Rocky will be back next year. Q. SLOAN Quint was given the honor of being captain by his team mates. From this fact you may draw the conclusion that Sloan was one of the most brilliant players. Sloan was an excellent broken field runner. WARD Ward played in the back field this year. He played his positions well. He will not be back next year. [55] STEEN Steen played a very creditable game at center and always succeeded in getting the better of his opponents. Bob made the All Southeastern second team. He will be missed much next year. HUDDART Huddart was of great value to the team and as tackle caused the opposing team much trouble and grief. Arch received a position as tackle on the All Southeastern team. HACKER Hacker will be a valuable man at center next year although he did not get to play much he filled his position well when playing. Hacker will be back next year. The members of the first team wish to thank the members of the second team for their cooperation in forming such a creditable team for Auburn. The success of the first team is without a doubt due very much to the conscientious work of the second stringers. The fellows who were out regular for practice were Raymond Payne, Harmon, E. Clark. [56] of jfootball Reason HUMBOLDT VS. AUBURN The annual game between Auburn and Humboldt eleven was a decisive victory for Auburn. The Humboldt team was powerless to stop the onslaught of the Auburn line men and “backs.” However two of Auburn’s most valuable men received injuries in this game which kept them out of various games throughout the season. TECUMSEH Auburn met a heart breaking defeat at the hands of Tecumseh. Auburn fought hard and valiantly and had victory in her hands until the last two minutes of play; when Tecumseh completed a long pass over Auburn’s goal line. FAIRBURY The Fairbury game was played under the handicap of a very heavy field. Both teams were hampered greatly by the murky field. Auburn was, however, near the Fairbury goal several times. When the final whistle blew both teams were scoreless. PLATTSMOUTH The Plattsmouth game was a very hotly contested game. A slight argument arose in the course of the game between the officials concerning the question of whether a drop kick made by R. Masters counted or not. The question was finally over-ruled however, which resulted in a 3-0 victory for Plattsmouth. NERRASKA CITY VS. AUBURN Auburn succeeded in winning a glorious victory over her ancient rival Nebraska City. The game was played in veritable sea of mud which made possible a great many breaks. The Auburn eleven showed herself to be more than alert in capturing the long end of the 7-0 score. PAWNEE CITY The Pawnee game stood to a scoreless tie until the last few minutes of play when a Pawnee back recovered a fumbled punt and ran for a touch down. BROCK The Brock-Auburn game resulted in a decisive victory in favor of Auburn. The Brock eleven was a lighter team and were powerless to stop the on rush of the Auburn backs. FALLS CITY Auburn took a heart breaking defeat from Falls City being beaten by a score of 13 to 9. The game was won altogether through the influence of breaks. PERU VS. AUBURN Auburn dropped its last game to Peru by a score of 12 to 6. The game was very hotly contested however and was one of the best games of the season. [57] [69] iRruiriu nf tBaiikrt USall raiunt The 1926 basket ball season was. above anything else, a successful one. The first game was won from Humboldt by a score of 32 to 4. This was a fast game throughout considering that it was the first of the season. In the Falls City game the Auburn forwards were the features of the contest. They got “Hot” at the start and swept the Orangemen off their feet. The scarlet and green cagers won b a score of 24-9. The Auburn Quintet lost in the fastest game ever played on the home court to the Sutton five by a score of 7-10. It was a hard fought contest throughout. The Auburn Cagesters lost their third game of the season to the Plattsmouth team by a score of 24-10. This game was very interesting from beginning to end. The Auburn aggregation took a four day trip playing Fairbury, Hebron and Sutton. They won all three by the respective scores of 24-29, 17-15, and 23-9. The scarlet and green hoopsters lost to Nebraska City in one of the most thrilling games of the season by a score of 18-15. The Auburn team twice defeated Peru, once on the Auburn floor and once on Peru’s floor by the respective scores of 16-13 and 14-15. The basket ball season was successfully ended by a victory over Falls City by a score of 19-22. GAMES OF THE SEASON Auburn 32 Humboldt 4 Auburn 23 Auburn 24 Falls City 9 Auburn 6 .. _ .

Mary was on the pullman speeding toward Chicago. She had often gone to Chicago on these little shopping expeditions, because Chicago is only a comparatively short distance from Elgin, the abode of Mary Louise Rogers—the above adventuress. But somehow—well, when your heart goes thumping around inside of you the way Mary’s was, you’ll admit, it is a bit hard to describe and account for that feeling. The train was becoming more and more crowded. Here was Evanston. Mary snatched out her puff and applied it to her nose. This process, generally speaking, is not a prolonged one, but on this particular trip it was different. Mary had a hunch that she was going to have an awfullly exciting time. She could just feel it. Why she might even meet Prince Charming! You girls, then, can appreciate her feelings and the necessity of looking “just right.” Mary knew she was a little young to be hunting very hard for “him,” but then it is always well to keep on the look-out and of course she wasn’t really hunting for him. ()f course not. She was very sure that she had never met “him” before. None of those youths of her high school days could be he. Oh no! She could see him now—athletic figure, black curly hair, Irish blue eyes, romantic, etc. etc. Lets see, who did she know in Chicago? She couldn’t think of anyone right then. Oh yes, there was Murray Wentworth. Well of course, he doesn’t have curly black hair and isn’t very romantic. At least he wasn’t when in high school. But the University sometimes changes people. In the midst of her thoughts, the train pulled into the station. When Mary reached the platform, she looked anxiously around at the baggage. Where was her bag? Oh, there it was. She must get a tag for it or she would be getting someone else’s bag one of these times. But this one was hers because then was the place where brother Ted had scuffed it. What a scuff it was. It looked like the leather was cut clear through. Picking up the bag, Mary started through the station to a taxi, looking neither to the right nor left. Had she glanced up as the cab started she would have recognized Murray Wentworth. However, the cab started before Murray could get to her. He was disappointed, for he had always liked Mary. It had given him a rather pleasant feeling to see her. Murray was aware of that feeling, but lie told himself [62] that lie wanted to get some news of home. He knew that that wasn’t the reason at all. Arriving at her hotel, Mary registered and was shown to her room. She dined and prepared to retire early because shopping in Chicago is rather fatiguing business. “My goodness, what an awful scuff Ted gave that bag of mine. The leather has been cut clear through.” With that she opened it up. There on top to her amazement lay a razor and a bottle of sta-comb! “Oh,” moaned Mary, as she sank into a chair. “What shall I do? I haven’t even so much as a brush or a comb. I wonder if the person who has my bag has registered here at this hotel. That would be a happenstance if so. 1 suppose he’ll get my new ensemble all rumpled up top. The beast.” We will leave Mary here and turn to the holder of Mary’s bag. And who do you suppose that was? No other than Murray Wentworth himself! Murray had been down to Kankakee over the weekend and had just returned. The trains had pulled into the station side by side so that the baggage from one train had become mixed with that of the other. Mary had landed on the platform first, picked up what she thought to be her bag and started to the station. Murray, man fashion, picked out what seemed to be his baggage without half looking at it and started off behind Mary. He, a student at Northwestern University, went straight to his room. It was almost time for a class and he hurriedly jerked the bag open to get a book. To his astonishment, he pulled out a pair of feminine kid gloves instead of the intended book. “Gosh!” Mary was in a slightly worse fix than Murray. He was back to Tis room where he had other clothing and things to do with. But Mary had only what she had worn. She couldn’t sleep. She was in a terrible predicament, in the morning she would have to borrow a comb from the “gentleman’s” grip and make herself as presentable as possible she guessed. She never had had such a time! “Oh, if 1 just had that other dress,” mourned Mary. “This one is terrible.” But she really didn’t look so bad. At least Murray didn’t think so when he met her a little later. She entered into the shopping spirit and it was luncheon time before she realized it. She decided to go to one of the popular tea rooms for lunch. So did Murray. “I’ve got a hunch that Mary will lunch there.” His hunch was correct. “Oh, I’m so glad you’re here,” cried Mary. “I’m in the awfull-est muddle. Its terrible!” “You aren’t ill, are you?” “Mercy no. I’ve lost niv traveling bag. It had all my belongings in it—clothes and everything. What’ll 1 do? I left it down at the office of my hotel, but they say they can’t do anything for me.” [63] “No Mary, you haven’t lost your bag. 1 have it. At least I’ve got some woman’s belongings. I pulled out a pair of kid gloves, powder, and a few other things last night when 1 was madly rushing to class Gosh, I was some surprised.” “What do the gloves look like?” “Oh, I dunno. Grey or tan. Black maybe. Had some kind of a doo-jigger around the wrist.” “Yes, I guess those are mine. But you haven’t told me how you managed to get my bag.” “Well, you see, I had been down to Kankakee for the weekend and was rushing back to the Uni. I missed all but my last class yesterday. But you know, young lady, you are the one who is responsible for getting ’em mixed up. You got off your train first.” “How do you know that you didn’t get off first?” And so they talked on. Mary heard about all the exciting times at the University, about his Fiat, studies and everything. Murray discovered that she was coming to Northwestern the next fall. Gee, but she was pretty. She’d make a hit all right. And, come to think about it, he sorta believed that she needed some one to kinda look after he)’ next fall. He’d have to see if that couldn’t be arranged with a Frat pin or something. Mary’s hunch about the exciting time was about right—don’t you think so ? Katherine Allen’ ?6. 164] Dmitri h zt THE TALE OF A RUBY RING An eagle soared high above the crags. Far, far below his keen eye he could discern a tiny village. Even at so great a height the village appeared to be in a commotion, for the people, like so many dots, were moving rapidly to and fro. Now a small group left the village and moved up the canyon trail, evidently on horseback, for they moved quite rapidly before a large cloud of dust. The dust vanished, all was quiet and serene. Now the eagle was perched by his nest in the crags. Over-head the sun shone brightly from a cloudless sky. As far as his eye could reach only mountains, valleys, canyons and forests with a tiny village here and there could be seen. A slight breeze ruffled the eagle’s feathers as his weary eyes slowly closed. Now the stars twinkled brightly in the inky blackness above; the new moon had scarcely arisen. In a small hidden canyon far to the east of the eagle’s nest, a tiny light glowed. Around the bright coals lay several huddled forms, each wrapped in a sound and peaceful sleep, for each knew, although he could neither hear nor see the sentinels, that the camp was closely guarded, that guards at the passes were awake and watchful. Here, then, the men with their trusty weapons, the everready horses, the mysterious saddle bags, already filled to overflowing, were the cause of the commotion in the village. Who is this man who in his sleep appears a bit restless? As the silent breezes brighten the coals of the fire a dull red light falls on his features. The light curly hair hangs over the brow, his prominent jaw and uplifted chin at once suggest determination, his skin although light, is tanned by wind and sun, it is easy to imagine blue eyes both calm and piercing beneath the evently curved eyebrows. The figure is long and slender, yet ever suggestive of strength. The stars grow dim the sky is gray, a pale light shows in the eastern horizon. Already the man of curly hair and blue eyes is arousing his comrades.| In a short time the camp duties for1 the morning are over and the men are on the trail. Riding by his leader’s side Alfred remarked, “Ha, sir Robert, it gives me a good laugh to think that this is the second successful raid we have made on the Lord Douglas home, it is good that he has plenty or he would have suffered greatly from our visits. At dawn there were no signs of pursuit.” “Aye, but remember, Alfred, that we are a long way from the protection of our stronghold. Much can turn up ’ere we----------. Ha! Isn’t that Lesslie coming? And look at him ride, surely he has news, for he is a careful horseman.” As horse and rider drew near it could be seen that each was weakening from the strain of coming up the canyon trail at so great a pace. Still astride his prancing steed Leslie breathlessly reported, “Sire, the trails are full of them! They come from every village! The whole countryside is aroused! ’Tis said the king himself has been persuaded to send his troops and—.” “Why, tha men, boys, everyone capable of wielding a weapon. The farmers came with scythes and sickles, the towns-people with clubs, swords, or anything they could possibly use! Ati last. Sir Rotbert, we have gone too far, they swear to rid the country of us, punish our wives and children.” “The country aroused! I thought ’twould come to this. Mayhap we should use the shortest cut past Goblin’s Cave. We shall not camp tonight but shall proceed by short rests and rides until we reach the stronghold, if we are careful of our horses we should arrive there by dawn. Alfred, you may ride ahead with the news.” “Look, Sir Robert, already smoke signals are at work,” said Leslie, pointing to the west. That night many campfires burned on the mountain-side. In Lord Douglas’ home things were quieting down once more. “Hugh, dear,” remarked the Lord Douglas’ wife, “Why is it that each of us finds sympathy in his heart for Sir Robert? What is it in his handsome face that attracts us?” “As to that, Mother, I cannot answer. As you know, I have tried several times to bring Sir Robert to terms. I have offered to free him or secure a pardon through my influence, of his crimes, which really haven’t been serious, if he would give up the notorious game he plays and would come to civilization. However, he seems to prefer that wild free life that he lives. It is in him to become as fine a young man as we had intended for our little son to be. Poor little James,—had he lived to grow up, I know he would not continue the bandit life, even though he grew up within such surroundings. He would have escaped their clutches and returned home to us. There, there, little mother, dry those tears. Maybe it is better that he should pass away than grow up in a bandit’s camp, yes, perhaps it is better so. Still, although we have not heard of him in all these years, that is no reason to believe him dead. We are growing old and shall not speak again of our great misfortune, although we can never forget. And speaking of Sir Robert, I know it is in him to become an honorable young man. He carries himself as though he were of nobility itself. How easily he sits in his saddle. How strong his arm and quick his eye. How------------Gracious, is it so late ? How quick- ly the evening has sped away. You had better hurry off to bed, mother. I shall smoke one more pipeful and then retire.” Shortly after dawn the next morning as Sir Robert and his little group rode into his stronghold, no bills proclaimed the return of a successful conquest, no men, women or even children came to greet the horsemen, for Alfred had already arrived and had ordered every one to prepare for the coming of the posse. The stronghold was really a small village, situated in a box canyon. The only entrance was closed by a huge drop-gate, studded with brass. A small number of archers, hidden near the gate could hold a small army at bay. Many a posse had met its defeat before this same ancient gate. However, today, suspense hung over all, a feeling that this posse was more determined. Through Alfred, Sir Robert had ordered the posses to be guarded, however, the posse was well organized. Archers had been sent ahead. These picked off the guards at the passes one by one and the posse, now little short of a mob, rushed on. Sir Robert, learning of the posse’s rapid program sent reinforcements and at sunset the posse was fully a mile distant. However, through untiring efforts they were at the last pass by dawn. Here a great struggle took place. Sir Robert’s archers from their hiding places held the pass till mid aftenoon. At the gate the bandits fought some thirty hours before showing signs of weakening. Within the stronghold all were taking part now except Stir Robert and Alfred who intended to witness the finish together. ‘“Alfred,” said Sir Robert, “As I have told you before, you have been a loyal comrade, and I love you. My men cannot hold the gate much longer, but we shall not be parted,—but shall go on together. Then Alfred, I shall say goodbye----------for the last time. Alfred, they have downed the gate! Strike! I tell you! Strike!” “Sire, I cannot, I will not strike! In these two years that you have been my chief, I have grown to love you as a brother, no, we shall not part, nor will I strike my master!” And pointing the sword against his breast, Alfred’s peaceful face, rapidly drew his own sword with the intention of following Alfred when a figure, followed by several others rushed in the door and knocked the sword spinning from Sir Robert’s hand. In an excited voice the leader of the posse ordered that Sir Robert not be harmed, [66] for, he continued, “The Lord Douglas has ordered that we return with him alive if possible.” The return trip to the scene at the robbery was one of misery for Sir Robert. There was much rejoicing in the village when the posse returned, for at last it had been successful. After the prisoners had been led through the streets for nearly an hour, Sir Robert was lead to Lord Douglas’s home. Here Lord Douglas plead for Sir Robert’s life, however, it was immaterial to Robert if he lived or not. Lord Douglas looked at his quiet face. What was it in that face that attracted his attention? Was it a familar one? No, it was not. Lord Douglas glanced down the supple young figure, his glance stopped at Sir Robert’s hands. No, certainly he was not nervous, how quietly his hands grasped the arms of the chair. Then something turned the Lord Douglas’s glance to a gaze. It was a small ring on Sir Robert’s little finger. Lord Douglas gazed, then seized the hand, bringing the ring closer to his eyes and gasped, “Where did you get that ring?” The words could scarcely be heard across the room. Sir Robert quietly answered, “It was my mother’s, sir.” “Your mother’s? Who was your mother?” “I do not know, sir. I had been amusing myself with the ring when I was kidnapped from my nursery, or so I’m told. Of course I can not remember that long. I also have my baby clothes at the camp. I suppose I was to be held---------” “My God, mother! Can it be? Can it be that this is our son? As certain as I am standing here, that is your ring! “What! My ring? Let me see---------. Yes, it is! It is! Oh, God, how I have waited and prayed all these years that our son had not died, but that he would return home. James My Son!” “Mother-----------and, father!” —Jay Lippold ’26 [67] If I Had Heeded If I had heeded the advice Gi’ven in days gone by, I would have a million dollars now Or maybe twfl if I’d try. Advice that was given to me, In my days of youth. Wise words that didn’t seem to me That they could be the truth. Wise words they were and true ones. If I had only known Their truth and worth, perhaps that now The whole wide world I’d own. I look back o’er days gone now, And know my life is done. I might not have much money But I’ve had a lot of fun. While other fellows were at work To make a little money. The same advice was given me And I really thot it funny. A dollar slave I might have been If advice I had of heeded. I haven’t had much money But I’ve had all I needed. But all advice is not so bad And money is really nice. Perhaps I’d be a Vanderbilt If I’d heeded good advice. Roy Masters, ’26. [68] Memory Lane! To-night as I sit in my study So cozy and warm and light, I see visions of things long forgotten Of things long blotted from sight. My mind it seems to wander Far back in the days gone by, To the things I can never forget No matter how I try. I cannot tell for the moment Tho’ my thoughts pelt me like rain Just where I am going or how, But I am travelling Memory Lane. I see the Little Red School House Aloof in the brow of the hill, While battered and torn by the wind of years It’s memoi'ies linger still. I fancy to see them now Those school mates of long ago, Come trooping through the open door Their faces with health all aglow. And that old schoolmaster I can see him there yet, We had to be quiet and not make any noise Or else a good licking we surely would get. When the school days were over and books put away My what a rush for the door With hats in hand they gave out a yell, That shook the old school house from rafter to floor I knew each one of those boys and girls And called them by name, There are many who have gone to the great beyond, There are many who have won great fame. But show me a man noble or plain Or seared by the hand of time, Who is not happy and gay and full of glee On his trip down Memory Lane. Julia Skeen ’27. If I Grow Old My heart may break from sorrow And tears of grief may flow My head may bow in bitterness And broken form bend low. My heart may ache and throb in pain And struggle to be free From suffocation coils of hate, That may encircle me. And all through weary years may sift The hoar frost on my hair My eyes grow dim, My shoulders stoop ’Neath burdens I may bear. Yet God will see, and God will know And his most lovely chairs Will soothe my suffering aching soul And quench the glowing fires. And I’ll forgive the wounds of life And I’ll forget the pair And try to smile away my cares To bear a song again. And as I listen on the breeze For strains sent from on high I’ll lift my quavering hopeful voice And sing the hours by. And singing, strength will come again As it did in times gone by When just a little song could drive All shadows from my sky. Leave me a voice Lord, when I go And let me happy be Singing in the chorus of heaven Through eternity. Lloyd Walker ’26 [70] The Grammarian’s Funeral Students, for tomorrow We study chapter ten I think that there you’ll find A great grammarian. ’Twas after school the storm broke When they were bound for home, The students stopped upon the brink To watch the waters foam. One boy stepped nearer to the tide, In his hand he clutched a book. His chest heaved out. His dark eyes flashed With a sullen daring look. Deep from his lungs a cry pealed. Thru his body went a shiver. And sailing far and dropping fast, The book fell in the river. Next day in school the teacher Asked him to recite, all’s well. I do not know just where he lived Rut I know where he fell. He looked the teacher in the eye Nor o’er his speech he tarried. I do not know just where he died. But I know where he’s buried. I know not the man you speak about. He must be very brave. But where he lived or where he died, He has a watery grave. Roy Masters, ’26.

It is as follows: Dear Classmates: I was delighted to receive your letter requesting information about all of our old classmates and I shall make the greatest effort possible to gather thiq information. It has been my desire for sometime to look my old classmates up, but have been so very busy looking for other people, that I have never been permitted time to carry my wish out. But on receiving your letter, I at once informed all my branch offices all over the world to immediately secure all information avaiable as to the location of members of the 1926 graduating class of the Auburn High School, Auburn Nebraska. It is indeed surprising the number of requests that come in daily for the lost people and for old friends. I have never yet had to turn down one.

THE CAREFUL DENTIST X-Ray Specialist Office Over Arnolds [96] “What Price Glory?” You young, ambitious souls just leaving the old High School after four years of learning are apt to become impatient with slow Old Nature. “Natural Law, you say, “was well enough in it’s day but, behold, this is the New Era! Limitations are not for such as us; let us blaze a new trail!” You announce perpetual motions machines that defy the laws of gravitation and friction; communistic governments that will make everyone rich thru the abolition of human nature; real estate booms whose values always go up and never down and many other like ideas. Eager throngs listen admiringly—but wise, patient, old Nature merely waits. “Size, Speed—that is success!” Ultimately comes the inevitable reckoning. Losses roll in like a tidal wave and everything comes down with a crash. Saddened and sober you will ask yourselves the disconsolate question: “WHAT PRICE GLORY?” This is not a sermon, we are not preachers, but salesmen—but to have you see that we still live in a world of realities—and it is our earnest wish and hope that you start out in life with both feet solidly on the ground.
