These young men and women have been inspured to a fuller life and the full realization of their true selves. Counted in its numbers are men and women in every walk of life bravely and successfully shouldering the responsibilities of life. Consequently this edifice is more than a mere building; it is more, far more. In the tender formative years of our life it was a haven of rest and guided our wavering footsteps until we reached a solid pathway. On leaving it behind we turn with saddened heart, yet joyful that we are leaving it to the deserving that are to come after us. May we always conduct ourselves so that the honor and good repute which has always been heaped upon A. H. S. may never be wanting. “Fare you well, old building, you’re naught that can feel or see, But you seem like a human being, a dear old friend to me, For there’s not a beam in your whole building but its memories has got, And not a nail in your old floors but touches a tender spot. Page Ten Page Eleven DR. H. L. FEISTNER JOHN T. ZACHARIAS WILLIAM WULF Board of Education “Education is a companion which no misfortune can decrease, no crime destroy, no enemy alienate, no despotism enslave, at home a friend, abroad an introduction, in solitude a solace, in society an ornament. It chastens vice, guides virtue, and gives grace and government to genius.” It is then no small service which the Board of Education as the elected representative of the community in the educational field has rendered to us, the students of Auburn High School in sponsoring our educational careers. They have given generously and wisely of their time and judgment, having had no thought for pecuniary renumeration. Their only reward lies in the satisfaction which must be theirs in knowing that Auburn High School has maintained the high standard which is expected of class A schools. For the education which we have so far received, we, the class of 1929. wish to express our deep gratitude and in these few lines voice our appreciation to the Board of Education for their services in making yearly the Auburn High School curriculum wider and stronger in its sphere of helpfulness. DR. B. B. SCHAFFER HOXIE HOWE WILLIAM HUMPHREY SUPERINTENDENT J. A. JIMERSON Peru State Teachers College, A. B. University of Nebraska, M. A. “With great honors come also great burdens.” To the head of a school system come many responsibilities and problems which must be shouldered and solved. The manner in which they are met depends of course upon the head of the system. Under the leadership of our Superintendent, Mr. Jimerson, Auburn High School has steadily forged ahead. Our school system demands trained leaders. It requires men who have kind hearts and broad minds and men who will be able to see further than the prescribed course of study into methods which will increase individual efficiencv in every day life and duties when the students go out into the real school of life. In our three years intercourse with Mr. Jimerson, we have found him to be one of those rare men who can anpreciate a ioke upon himself, as fully as he delights in telling one. At the same time, through his strengthening and broadening of the extra-curricular branches much new interest and depth has been added to our school life. He has stood for progressiveness in all lines, and it is the parting wish of the class of 1929 that his efforts will always be crowned with success. p ■ FRANK L. SIEVERS Peru State Teachers College, A. B. Principal Civics, Manual Training Mr. Sievers, our principal, has been an ever present help to the pupils of Auburn High School. He has by his influence sought to inspire in the student body, ideals both democratic and altruistic to the end that they might go out into life better prepared for greater service in working toward the public good. For his unfailing courtesy in speech and action, for his cheerfulness of manner, for his readiness to spur us on when our spirit flagged and to lend a steadying hand whenever such was needed, we thank him. By his co-operation and influence, he has done much to make run smoothly the machinery of our class. Truly it may be said, Mr. Sievers has been our friend, teacher and counsellor.

X Senior Class History (5SJ- THE fall of ’25, sixty-three Freshmen entered Auburn High School with the highest of hopes and ambitions. Even in this early stage, we wisely saw the need for leaders and so elected Neal Andrews, president; James Roby, vice-president; Homer Meyers, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Underwood was elected our sponsor. In athletics we were well represented. James Roby made first team in football, and a class basketball team was formed. Six students of the class were honored scholastically by receiving “A” pins. Elizabeth Sloan, Neal Andrews, and Avis Wiser took part in the operetta, “Once in a Blue Moon.” Many social events were held, and our freshman year passed happily and profitably. The next fall, the members of the same group were reunited and received the title of Sophomores. Class officers were elected: Ervin Sailors, president; John Reed vice-president; Homer Myers, secretary and treasurer. We also elected Miss Knipe as sponsor. Nina Burdette proved her capability in debating by attaining the honor of being chosen for first team. Ervin Sailors, Neal Andrews, John Stevenson, and John Reed won letters for their achievements in athletics. “A” pins were presented to five sophomores. Lillemor Taylor was awarded the medal for first prize in the Lincoln Essay Contest. Neal Andrews, who carried an important role, and Lillemor Taylor, who took the part of solo dancer, represented us in the operetta, “Pickles.” Social events again brought us joy, and our second high school year passed thus. Before we hardly knew it, we were given the title of Juniors. We showed great discretion in electing our officers, choosing those who, we thought, were capable of upholding, our newly acquired dignity. These were John Reed, president; Homer Myers, vice-president; Charles Clarke, secretary; and Lois Schriefer, treasurer. Miss Knipe and Miss Marsh were appointed our sponsors. In athletics, Neal Andrews, John Stevenson, Edward Allen, Homer Myers, and Cleburne Stokes won letters. Neal Andrews was wisely chosen basketball captain. Nina Burdette again represented us in debating. “A” pins were presented to ten Juniors. In music Lois Schriefer won first place for contralto solo and Roger Druliner, second place for tenor solo. Seven Juniors took important parts in the operetta, “All At Sea.” Our class play, “Peg O’ My Heart, proved a decided hit. The social functions held during the year were cleverly planned and helped to strengthen the friendship which had been made during the Junior year. At last, we were Seniors, those “beines” looked un to with such awe by all classmen. In this, our last year, we carefully chose our leaders: John Stevenson, president; Homer Mvers. vice-president: and Charlene Clarke, secretary and treasurer. Miss Marsh and Mr. Breternitz were appointed as our sponsors. In debating we were again ably, yes indeed, most ably, represented by Nina Burdette. In athletics. Neal Andrews. John Stevenson. George Kreglo. Byron Gordon. Clarence Warnke, Cleburne Stokes, Homer Mvers. John Reed, Walter Wulf, Edward Ely, Ervin Sailors. Charles Armstrong. Burdette Cowell and Dale Skeen received letters. John Stevenson was chosen football captain and John Reed as basketball captain. A number of seniors took important roles in the operetta, Purple Towers.” Nina Burdette was awarded the medal for first prize in reading at the M-I-N-K tournament. Thus we have struggled and striven to make the history of the Senior Class of ’29 worthy of your praise. ONLY .TIME CAN TELL r IT WAS Thursday, April 1, 1938. The sun came up in the east that morning and I had all reasons to believe it would set in the west. Just returning from three years travel abroad on my wife’s money, I was bound for Auburn, Nebraska, iThe Garden of Eden of Nebraska). Leaving the Pennsylvania station in New York City, the train pulled away from the station. At last I was on my way. As the conductor called out the first stop, I seemed to recognize the voice and looking up I beheld William Humphrey. We were very glad to meet for it had been ten long years since we had attended old A. H. S. together. We had a little chat in which he told me that George Cummings was the engineer on this same train. My first stop was scheduled for Chicago. As I stepped from the train a “red cap” seized my grip and hurried away. I caught him and demanded the reason for this outrage and who should it be but George Kreglo. He said he had lived in Chicago since 1932. He had married Charlene Clarke and had to work hard to keep the family. He hailed a taxi-cab for me and I soon found myself flashing through the streets. The traffic was halted for a few minutes, by a traffic cop, who turned out to be Clarence Warnke. When I reached my hotel I registered and went at once to my room. That evening was hot and sultry, therefore I decided to take a stroll. I saw a large sign over one of the stores which read WULF CO. CONFECTIONERY— candy, cold drinks, etc. My curiosity was at once aroused. I entered the store for some advertised confections. As I glanced around my eyes spied a man seated at a desk and I recognized him as my old friend. Walter.. I immediately made myself known. In our chat, Walter informed me that Neal Andrews was hauling coal there in Chicago. He and Bernice had married and were living on the east side and were as contented as could be exnected. He then reached in his desk and produced a small card which read: “We’re all awhirl. cause it’s a girl.” It was signed Charles Clarke and Helen (Fellers) Clarke. This was certainly a surprise for I had heard nothing from them since school was out. The next morning as I glanced over the headlines in the paper my eyes were attracted by the result of a big raid of the underworld. As I glanced on through it. I noticed another name that was familiar. Edward Bull” Ely, ringleader of the gang of crooks was captured and his right hand man. Dale Skeen. Charges had been filed against them for carrying concealed weapons, and trying to impersonate an officer. As I ran on thi'ough the rest I saw where Chief of Police, Ervin Sailors conducted the raid. That day my travels carried me into the more sparcely populated country of “one horse” towns. It indeed seemed to be growing more western. In one of these small villages I was forced to stay for the night. The hotel in the town was run by another of my classmates. Avis Wiser, who had married, but her husband became discouraged and left her. She told me that Maida Webber, Anna Wise-brook and Kathryn Wheeler had joined the movies. She also said that Thelma Waltz had joined the circus and was doing the tight wire. act. The next day I reached Auburn and since I had already discovered so many I knew, I proceeded to investigate further. The first person I met in the “old home town” was John Reed, United States Senator, who was home on a short visit. While we were talking Warren Ward stepped up and asked him some questions. I later found out Warren was John’s valet. He also said Homer Mvers had become president of the Auburn State bank with Helen Belle performing the usual family duties at home. That evening sitting in the hotel lobby looking through the Omaha Bee-News I chanced upon the shows for the following week. One large advertisement was about a renowned group of chorus girls. Among the number were: Huldah Page Thirty-One CT‘C fl Y c cz Dustin, Helen Harvey, and Vivian Helms. Some of the dancers who starred were Mary Parks and Avis Morton. In one of my afternoon strolls, I chanced to pass the county jail. Looking through the bars I recognized Vern Brod, Cleburne Stokes and Paul Darling. Later when I looked up the records, I found that they had refused to pay alimony. The next day was Sunday. I attended the church I had belonged to when I was in high school. I walked in and took a seat, then I began to look around to see if there was anyone I knew. The pastor was the first I recognized. He was no other than Charles Armstrong. Next my eyes rested upon the choir. Here I saw Lois Schriefer, Jp.ynita Morford, and Helen Eads. They had a special speaker that morning who turned out to be Finotta Gage, who told us about her missionary experiences in Africa. On Monday, I met Edgar Galloway on the street. Edgar was the county attorney of Nemaha county. He said Lillemor Taylor and Betty Sloan had decided to stay single all of their lives. They had formed a company and were running the largest beauty parlor in town. In their hire were Zelma Simon and Dorothy Llewellyn. When I heard this I decided to go down and see them. Lillemor’s health was failing fast. In fact all four of the girls looked as if they were being worked to death. In the course of my conversation with Betty she mentioned Nina Burdette, who had retired in a small country home and was writing books. I also found Byron Gorden looking as usual. “Bun” said he and Lois had become married after seven or eight years of courtship and were living happily. He also stated that John Stevenson was section boss on the Burlington railroad and Roger Druliner and Harold Nincehelser were working under him. He then invited me to go to the show with him that evening. He said it was seme traveling show with Shorty Adcock as the biggest little man in the world. The next day I met Nadine Andrews who said that Caryll Bohl and she were teaching at Athens. She also said that Goldie Brewer had married a wealthy oil man and was living in Oklahoma. In the next addition of the weekly paper of Auburn, I saw Eugene McPherson’s nr me as owner and editor. This surprised me somewhat because “Mickey” never cared for printing. However, on the front page of his paper he had an account of Blanche Reed, who was suing a movie actor for divorce. I thought he would be a good person to ask for any more good news from my classmates therefore I went down to the printing office for an interview. He had little news from anyone, but he did say that Helen Hays was living on a farm a few miles north of town and the Henderson twins were working in a large department, store in Kansas City. Thelma Suedmeyer had married a doctor in Omaha and Mildred Harphan was head nurse in a hospital in the same city. After spending a week in “mv heme town” I decided that it was the place for me as I was wearv of travel. My good wife’s money was of sufficient quantity to enable me to rest the remainder of my life in ease. —Burdette Cowel, ’29. Class Will While we lingered in Auburn Hi, In the sunny Land of Learning, We acquire some few possessions. We amassed some strings of Knowledge For the soil is black and fertile— E’en the laziest must prosper, And we Seniors are not lazy. On this day of our departure Down the long, long trail to lifeward, Page Thirty-Two . In a pile we have collected All the choiciest of our treasures To take with us on the journey; But we find they are too heavy— Slow, too slow would be our progress, If we carried half this burden; So except for bits of knowledge We have gathered in Auburn Hi And the bulky pack of memories Of old days, old friends, old frolics, We must leave our wealth behind us, All our treasurers and possessions. Lest there be unseemly discord O’er the spoils when we have vanished, Over who should have this keepsake And to whom should go that relic. Aided by Mister Breternitz, We have made a will in writing. To divide our riches fairly. Listen while I read its clauses— You may find yourself remembered. We, the Seniors of Auburn Hi, Being in our usual senses— Which, mayhap, you think means nothing— Being on the point of going From the sunny Land of Learning, Never to return among you, Do bequeath to our inferiors, Otherwise known as our schoolmates, Do bequeath to our superiors, Otherwise known as our teachers, All the riches we are seized of On this day of our departure, Saving such as we so cherish That we never can relinquish. Avis W. has graciously consented To leave Mildred J. her conversation. Ted C.’s hoarder hunks of Wrigley’s Must be counted and divided, Without preference, without favor, Equally among the Freshmen. Joe H. may have Dale's old Spanish reader, All the words are written in it. George C.’s pencils go to Wilma G., Wilma, the bold pencil borrower. Avis M.’s compact is for Dorothy R„ Puffless, powderless, Dorothy. Sadly Betty leaves to Donnabelle All the hearts that she is queen of— Sadlv. but. already Betty’s Looking forward to new conquests. V « Warren’s terpsichorean graces He devises to “Hap” Risse. Helen Hayes’ glibness at making excuses She agrees to leave to Mary K. F. Wanda W.’s to have Finotta’s secret Formula for cheeks like roses. Sill bestows his first long trousers On the Freshie first to grab them. And besides these several bequests Much we leave the school in general: Any dribblets of ambition That we cannot carry with us. Any scraps of information That perchance shall drop unnoticed.

Yet before them does lie a vast ocean of truth, Uuexplored with fresh gales to withstand. Take courage then firm, for not far lies the land.

Page Forty-One Junior Class History “In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth. rOT LONG after this, all the world was drowned except Noah, his family and their pet animals. Then came in quick succession the establishment of the Babylon empire and the Greek and Roman kingdoms. The discovery of America by Columbus was the really great event in the year of 1492. The next few years were spent in naming the different parts of the new world and religious wars. Marie Stuart was decapitated and Sir Walter Raleigh learned to smoke. The Boston Tea Party was quickly followed by the Revolutionary War and soon after came the Civil War. All of these events, I believe, after careful consideration of the matter, culminated in Auburn. Nebraska, on September 8, 1926, when with a membership cf sixty-five boys and girls this class gradually broke upon the view of the High School world and without any ostentation or display, attempted to organize for mutual protection, hard work and good times. We saw the need for leaders and so elected Emmett Andrews, president; Ruth Penney, vice-president: Marshall Howe, secretary, and Frances Howe, treasurer. Miss Schiven was chosen our sponsor and proved her ability during the year. Ouida Hawkins wen first place in the sub-district Declamatory contest at Falls City. The Class was well represented in athletics; Nathan Eells, Emmett Andrews and Henry Feistner reported regularly for basketball. During the year there were several who received “A” pins. The following fall we entered the portals of old A. H. S. and found ourselves much wiser as we were now sophomores. Officers for the year were chosen: Ruth Penney, president; Nathan Eells, vice-president, and Marshall Howe, secretary and treasurer. Miss Maddox and Miss Pumphrey were appointed our sponsors of whom we were plenty proud. During the year we made rapid progress. Our social events were very successful. In athletics we were proud to have a first team letter man, Jesse Risse. Others of our members also reported for practice. The number of “A” pin students were greatly increased. Lila Codington, Doris Umland, Nathan Eells and Leon Schaffer took prominent parts in the operetta, “All At Sea.” Several others of our class were also well represented. And so ended our second year in Auburn High School. We are Juniors now, and feel the responsibility that rests upon the heads of vigilant guardians. Our duties now are to watch over and attend the Freshies. Again we saw the need for leaders and elected: Nathan Eells, president; Jesse Risse, vice-president, and Lila Codington secretary and treasurer. Miss Roberts and Miss Maddox were appointed our sponsors. This year we have five letter men: Jesse Risse, Frederick Epperson, Henry Feistner, Joseph Letellier and Nathan Eells. Five of the leads in the operetta, “Purple Towers,” were taken by members of our class: Lila Codington, Doris Umland, Emmett Andrews, Nathan Eells and Leon Schaffer. There are still some events to come which are not related here. We hope to make this a very successful year, and may next year be more successful than this.

EPTEMBER Fifth, Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Seven, was a wonderful day for the so-called “Freshies.” We, sixty in number, embarked upcn a four-year journey to success. The first class meeting was held to select class officers for that year. The following were chosen: Perdin Handley; Vice-President Ernest Brod; Treasurer, Inez Dovel; Marjorie Reed. Miss McGrew and Miss McCormick were chosen class They were held in high esteem by all of the Freshmen. Several parties were held during that year and among the best was the one given to us by the P. T. A. The class was honored by the performance of Miss Inez Dovel in winning first place, as pianist, at the M-I-N-K tournament in Peru. Several students received “A” pins during their Freshmen year. The ones who thus honored this class were: Wilma Bohling, Ernest Brod, Marjorie Reed, Mary Karoline Krueger, Dorothy Stevenson, LeRee Clarke, Henel Gillispie, Lola Rebuck, Ruth Andresen, and Perdin Handley. Many boys of the class reported regularly for basketball and football. Thus the Freshmen were steadily forging their way to the front, even in Athletics. The year ended with a very promising future for the very next Sophomore class. In the fall of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Eight, fifty-three pupils stepped out of the Freshman class and entered the ever-awake Sophomore class. For this year we have chosen as trustworthy officers the following: Presi- dent, Ernest Brod; Vice-President. Marjorie Reed; Treasurer, Howard Smith; Secretary, Thcmas Collin. We were overjoyed at receiving Miss McGrew and Miss McCormick as sponsors again. We only wish that they might be ouv sponsors throughout our journey to success. Several parties were given by the Sophcmores and every one had a very good time. Many Sophcmores were included in the cast for the operetta, “Purple Towers.” Miss Mary Katherine Fraser held the lead. She played opposite George Kreglo, a Senior. Many Sophomore boys reported regularly for football and the class came forth with one first team letter man. In basketball the class was even better represented. Many of the boys were very promising and great things were expected from them next year. The Sophomore class was well represented in the Dramatic Club. Most of the students had a part at some time of the year in a short play. This is a fine way to prepare material for class plays in the following two years. Next year we hope to be one of the best Junior classes Auburn High School has ever had.

Shortly after we were settled—a class meeting was called by the sponsors, Miss Pumphrey and Miss Brehm in cider that class officers might be selected. Officers tor the year were capably chcsen: Wayne Ruddy, president; Lanning Andrews, vice-president; Maxine Smith, secretary and treasurer. During the year we had two parties which everyone enjoyed. The Freshmen boys made a very good showing in athletics and showed very favorable prospects as athletes in the future. Later in the year after the usual bashfulness had worn off we had several who shewed very good talent in Dramatic and Musical fields. Aurora Rapp won first in the Humorous in the local try-outs and also placed first in the sub-district contest. Beth Langford placed third in the try-outs in the dramatic section. Maxine Smith placed first in the Local Music Contest and third in the M-I-N-K Contest at Peru. In the track several of our number are showing real promise and bid fair to make a name for themselves in future years. Howard Anderson, Wayne Ruddy, James Wheeler and Lanning Andrews are outstanding. We are very proud of the showing the Freshmen have made and feel satisfied with the results of the year, and can only hope to continue to improve in the next three years. —Wayne Ruddy, ’32. Page Fifty-Three Mixed Chorus The Mixed Chorus ably conducted by Mrs. Langford has made a reputation to be envied. On February 9, the Mixed Chorus went to Peru where they entered the M-I-N-K contest, winning first place over seme of the best clubs in the state. On February 19th the entire program which was given at Peru was given at the Eennett Theatre before a large audience. The song which was sung at Peru was “Gypsy Life.” On April 1 they went to Omaha where they took second place, being beat only by Stromsburg. April 8 the Mixed Chorus gave a party.

The regular team engaged in seven league debates and won six of the seven. Their record is still more enviable due to the fact that but two votes were cast against them. They also engaged in practice debates. They were defeated in the state contest by Jackson High eleven of Lincoln by a two to one decision. The squad was coached by Mr. Breternitz and no little credit must go to him for the showing of the team. The Record—A. H. S. 3, Brock 0; A. H. S.3, Shubert 0; A. H. S. 1, Sacred Heart 2; A. H.

A dj Dramatic Club Under the efficient sponsorship of Miss Marsh, the Auburn High School Dramatic Club was organized the latter part of November. All interested in dramatics were invited to join for the purpose of furthering their interests and developing their talents in this art. The following officers were chosen: President, Ruth Penney; Vice-Presi- dent, Thomas Collin; Secretary, Marshall Howe; Treasurer, Perdin Handley.

In March we presented a one-act play, “Grandma Pulls the String,” in the assembly. The cast included Ruth Hawxby, Beth Langford, Helen Fellers, Grace Moody, Zelma Simon and Byron Gorden. Finotta Gage had coached the play. At the February and April meetings, games and refreshments followed the program. The May meeting was open to quests. At present we have a membership of about sixty, all taking an active interest in the Club and willing to do their share. We feel the organization has done well in its first year and the members agree that it has been worth while as well as highly entertaining. Girls Athletic Association On February 27, 1929. the girls of Auburn High School formed a Girls’ Athletic Association under the leadership of Miss McCormick. A week later a constitution was drawn up. At a later meeting the following officers were elected: President, Nadine Andrews; Vice-President, Ruth Andre- sen; Secretary, Bernice Sailors. This organization is limited to eighty members. The purpose of this organization is to have the girls earn letters. They may do so, by participating in activities such as walking, hiking, bicycle riding, roller skating, basket ball, and horse back riding. Six hundred points are required to earn a letter. Organized activities such as basket ball, and hiking are given more points than those of the unorganized activities. This organization was needed, and we are very glad it has been organized under the efficient sponsorship of Miss McCormick.

The officers were elected as follows: President ...........................Beth Langford Vice President.......................Maxine Smith Secretary and Treasurer..............Clara Harpham The club served the Junior-Senior Banquet and several other dinners throughout the school year. “PURPLE TOWERS” The musical comedy, “Purple Towers,” was successfully presented by the high school glee clubs January i, at Bennett’s Theatre, under the direction of Mrs. Wiley Langford, assisted by Miss Marion Marsh. Tne story was one of interest and variety. Humor, mystery, and a love plot all had their part. The soloists carried their parts well, and the choruses showed the amount of practice they had done. The costumes of the people were exceptionally good; they were used to characterize the chorus portrayed. The cast included: Hank Huckleberry Mike Murphy Earl Parker ...... Red Nichols ......

A great throng of townspeople gathered to witness this affair and acclaimed it as a great success. The program, as sponsored by Mrs. Langford and various other members of the faculty, consisted of folk dances by the grades, winding of the May poles by the various grades of the Auburn schools, and the crowning of the May Queen. The crowning of the queen was a very pretty and impressive affair. Helen Belle Dirks was given this crown and was attended by Nina Burdette as the maid-of-honor. The procession was lead by the Queen and her maid-of-honor, followed next by the Prince, Neal Andrews, and his attendant, Homer Myers. The attendants of the various classes completed the procession. Betty Sloan and Helen Fellers, seniors; Mildred Jodry and Bernice Sailors, juniors; Catherine Gil-lan and Dorothy Stevenson, sophomores, and Ruth Rutledge and Maxine Smith, freshmen. This year’s festival was probably one of the best ever given in Auburn. Senior Class Play The senior class play, “Applesauce” will be presented at the Bennett Theatre May 22, 1929, at 8:00 o’clock. This is a comedy in three acts by Barry Conners. It is one of those typically American comedies of small-town folk in which an amusing set of characters are revealed through clashes of interest and love. It is shown that “applesauce” (in other words, a cheerful optimism and the ability to tell other people how nice they are) will surmount most of the obstacles in this life. Hazel Robinson has foolishly engaged herself to a young man called Jenkins. But all along she is really in love with Bill McAllister who, though hard up, wins out in the end and achieves not only success, but happiness as Hazel’s future husband.

Junior Class Play The Junior Class play, Believe Me Xantippe,” was given Friday evening, April 19, at the Bennett Theatre. This four-act comedy was played before a packed house. Every member of the cast carried his or her part to perfection and much credit is due Miss Marsh, who directed it. The play was something different from anything ever given in Auburn. It was a play that held the interest of the audience throughout. The plot centered arcund the leading character, George MacFarland, a wealthy New Yorker, who made a wager that he could forge a check and escape arrest for a year. The costumes and scenery aided much in the success of the play.

It was his untiring efforts, his unlimited knowledge of the game, and his ability to inspire his men that worked wonders with a few light and inexperienced men. It may be truthfully said that it was his honest effort coupled with his knowledge that made the season what it was. Assistant Coach Breternitz ably assisted Mr. Higgins. CAPTAIN JOHN STEVENSON Tackle—Weight 165 lbs. John is the realization of any coach’s dream of an ideal leader. He has all the fine traits, ruggedness, respect of rules, confidence cf his men, and most of all courage that is seldom equalled. Always aggressive, he respects his opponents’ rights and insists on his own. In fact, John has proven himself a perfect gentleman on and off the field. Having played two years at guard, he was abie to be shifted to tackle and played more brilliantly than before. Stevenson received all-state mention the last two years and will make a fine college player for the school that is fortunate enough to get him. STEVENSON Page Seventy-Two V .

As captain of the 1929 Bulldogs, “Hap” will be the only regular from this year’s squad. Playing his first season of football, he developed into the outstanding pivot man of the conference. He was one cf the largest men cn the team and has a fine attitude toward the game. Hard work in practice, a fine showing in every game and the respect of all his team mates, place him in a position for a great vear as player and captain on the 1929 team. cz «t ERVIN SAILORS—Halfback—Weight 150 lbs. •'Sill” is one of that brilliant type of ball luggers, who keeps the stands at attention during every minute ol the game. Sailors knows football. He can pass, punt or carry the ball, although he was used mostly as a ball lugger. He figured exceptionally brilliant as a pass receiver in almost every game. As a blocker he was able to make the other backs “showup” to a good advantage. He played one season at regular end and then was moved to the backfield in his junior year. This season, however, was his best and he was honored by the state papers by being given honorable mention for the last two years. HOMER MYERS—Tackle—Weight 155 lbs. “Doc” was the running mate of Capt. Stevenson and together made the best pair of tackles in this section. Homer was a terrific charger and clever blocker as a result of his training at end last season. He analyzed the opponents’ plays quickly and used his hands and feet well. He carried a hip injury most of the season, but that did not keep him frcm practicing regularly and his general playing was such that he was awarded the blanket as being the most valuable man to his team. This award was made upon the basis of sportsmanship, general playing, observance to training rules, and effort exerted. “Doc” was not lacking in any respect. WALTER WULF—-End—Weight 138 lbs. “Walt” developed into a fine defensive despite his handicap of weight. He is quick to analyze plays and keeps his feet to a good advantage. He was a good pass receiver and covered punts in veteran-like fashion. This was the first year for Wulf as a regular, although he lettered last year. By mid-season he had overcome his chief difficulty, blocking, and was handling the biggest of tackles handily and had the upper hand on the opposing wing-backs. _ ANDREWS COWEL REED NEAL ANDREWS—Halfback—Weight 155 lbs. Neal is a real triple threat halfback and a star in every department of the game. When it comes to passing and punting he was outstanding in this section. Kicking left footed, he sends them high and far, giving his ends plenty of time to cover. As a passer and pass receiver, he is unexcelled in Southeastern Nebraska. His outstanding play for the last two years has won him honorable mention by the state papers. This year, although a rib injury throughout almost all the season, his play was more brilliant than ever. BURDETTE COWEL— Guard—Weight 158 lbs. “Bo” came through in fine shape this year and proved a great guard. Being paired with Stokes, he became a power offensively and defensively. He was in excellent condition after spending a summer of pole vaulting and broad jumping. Burdette is a good punter and was used as a drop kicker for the try-for-point. When he was called upon on such occasions, he always delivered the goods. Probably his greatest delight was to pull out of the line and run interference. JOHN REED—Quarterback—Weight 153 lbs. “Batty is by all odds the best field general in the league. After two years at the barker’s station, he developed some fine strategy and consequently directed his small team so that they looked good against much larger teams, even when defeated. Jack is a real triple-threater, although he seldom carried the ball, being content to run the team. As a punter he was able to surprise many an opponent by his “quick” kicks. He heaved many long and accurate passes to Sailors, which counted for several of our touchdowns. The quarterback position will be hard to fill next season, as Jack will be graduated, and some college will gain a man, who is well versed in the technique of football. sto::es Armstrong skeen CLEBURNE STOKES—Guard—Weight 162 lbs. “Chub” played his second year at guard and did some fine work. He played well cn the defense and pulled out of the line nicely to run interference for his backs. Stokes is a firm believer in training and was probably in the best condition possible. He provides most of the entertainment for the squad on trips, however when he is called upon to withstand the assults of opposing backs, he may be relied upcn. A. H. S. loses a brilliant guard in Stokes. CHARLES ARMSTRONG—Fullback—Weight 160 lbs. Charley was shifted from tackle to fullback and has done exceptionally well at this position. He has the combination of speed and weight that made him one of the good fullbacks of the conference. Armstrong was called upon to “wade mud” with the ball under his arm many times this season and was good for a great many yards Back of the line he is a deadly tackier and a fine example of the “never say die” spirit. DALE SKEEN—End—Weight 136 lbs. “Pup” was shifted from reserve tackle of last season to end and developed rapidly into a scrappy and flashy player. He blocks cleverly and never was flanked during the season. He catches passes well and covers punts equally as well. It may be said that here was one hundred and thirty-six pounds of real football material. With another season, or many seasons, we will have difficulty in finding a man of Skeen’s size with as much ability. K — KREGLO WARNKE HANDLEY GEORGE KREGLO— Fullback-Weight 165 lbs. This was George’s first season as a football player. In short order he developed into a hard-hitting fullback and was used in every game. His high jumping ability was used to an advantage on the gridiron. His quick and powerful drive ripped holes in most every line we m:t. George ran wild against Talmage and ran some beautiful interference. When it comes to backing up the line he probably was unexcelled in this section. CLARENCE WARNKE—Guard—Weight 155 lbs. Clarence was probably as good a guard as either of the regulars and consequently was used in all the games. He was an ideal guard in that he liked to “give and take” and generally would give more than it was necessary to take. “Ccrkey” also had an educated toe but was not called upon much during competition. as there were several good kickers on the squad. With a year or two of growth, we may expect Warnke to be starring for seme college. PERDIN HANDLEY—Halfl'ack—Weight 140 lbs. “Perd” is the only Sophomore that lettered this year and will make a name for himself in the two years of competition that he has left. Handley did not get a call often during the past season, but with Kreglo and Epperson, he made a fine shewing in the reserve games. He is a good plunger for his size, but looks best in the open field. His natural whirl and change of pace convinced the coaches and first string that not all of the good men were on the first team. In scrimmage he often broke loose for nice gains. ELY GORDEN EPPERSON EDWARD ELY— Tackle—Weight 160 lbs. “Bull” was chiefly used at tackle, although he got into the battle several times at a guard position. His experience gained on the second team helped him greatly and also enabled the second team to win all their games. Ely used his hands to a decided advantage on the defense and could be counted upon to do his share on the offense. Probably his greatest handicap was his physical condition. He carried several injuries throughout most of the season. BYRON GORDEN—End—Weight 142 lbs. “Bun” started slowly as a reserve end after spending last season as a second string back. He developed rapidly through constant training and practice until the end of the season he was one of the best epds in the league. He was a fierce tackier, blocked well and caught passes when they came in his general direction. Due to injuries of the other ends Gorden was called upon to start most of the games, and rose to the occasion each time. Byron would have looked good on anybody’s team. FREDRICK EPPERSON—Halfback—Weight 132 lbs. Fred was too light for the muddy fields we encountered this season, and consequently did not get the call very often. When he was called upon he gave a good account of himself. In the Falls City game he scored a touchdown after carrying the ball some forty-five yards. At Hamburg, he started the game and reeled off some nice gains. At halfback on second team he ran wild. Fred will be a power in the 1929 backfield because he has all those traits that make up a good ball lugger. i_____ Seasons Resume AUBURN vs. PERU COLLEGE FRESHMEN In a practice game, the Auburn Bulldogs tangled with a much heavier team representing Peru freshmen and were forced to be content with a 6 to 0 trimming. In this game most of the entire first squad were used in order to give the coaches a chance to see the different combinations in action. It was not until late in the game that the “beef” was able to subdue a fighting lighter team, however. AUBURN vs. FALLS CITY Coach Brown brought a fighting gridiron eleven to Auburn one bright October afternoon and after a great battle defeated the local team by a score of 8 to 6. The Falls City lads were sure they could handle the Bulldogs, and had it not been for this, the score might have been much more in their favor. As it was the local boys fought them to a standstill and had the game lasted much longer the score no doubt would have been in their favor. It was in the last quarter that the Scarlet and Green team was able to show it’s superiority. In this period they marched down the field for a touchdown and were repeating the performance when the game ended. This was a well earned victory for Falls City. AUBURN vs. SABETHA This was one of these games where David does not slay Golith. The Kansas boys had a powerful and well balanced team and were able to win in a handy fashion. Stoner, Sabetha fullback, took the ball for repeated gains and then would vary the attack with a pass, which kept Auburn’s team completely at bay. They scored every one of their five touchdowns via the pass route. At times it seemed almost uncanny the wav they were able to pass over our secondary defense. The score completely tells the tale. AUBURN vs. PAWNEE CITY A determined team motored to Pawnee and were able to race “down hill” for two touchdowns and victory. It was a good game to watch. Auburn scored its first touchdown in the opening minutes of the game and Pawnee duplicated the feat in the second quarter. The last half was filled with thrills. The Reed-Sailors passing combination began to function and it resulted in a touchdown after a beautiful heave of thirty yards by Reed. That ended the scoring for the afternoon, although the Pawnee eleven resorted to almost every kind of football with the hopes of a victory. This was the first victory for the Scarlet and Green of the season. AUBURN vs. HUMBOLDT Finally, after much waiting in the rain, Humboldt arrived and after some “muddy” football in the rain were defeated by a single touchdown. The score does not tell the tale as Humboldt was unable to stop the off-tackle smashes of the Auburn backs. Yards were made almost at will due to some beautiful blocking by the Auburn line. Humboldt was able to score its touchdown as a result of a fumble by a second string back in the last moments of the game. This game was played in a sea of mud, which made good football quite scarce. AUBURN vs. PLATTSMOUTH Mud again, but more of it. This game played at Plattsmouth, was a great mud-slinging” contest. Neither team was able to exhibit any great amount of football except punting. The first half each team punted immediately upon receiving the ball, hoping for a break. It did not come, however, until the second half. Sailors intercepted a lcng pass and ran seventy yards to the Plattsmouth 10 yard line only to slip in the mud and be pounced upon by the Plattsmclith huskies. Unable to get footholds the light Auburn backs failed to advance the ball and lost it on downs. Again in the last moments of the game a blocked Plattsmouth punt gave the Bulldogs a chance to score, but time was too short and the game ended with the ball on Plattsmouth’s three-yard line. AUBURN VS. NEBRASKA CITY Playing “under wraps” because of Tecumseh scouts in the stands the Bulldogs defeated their rivals in a handy fashion. In the last half Nebraska City took advantage of the breaks and all but turned defeat into victory. On a wide end run. they crossed the goal line early in the fourth quarter. As the game ended they were threatening to score again, but a determined line held desperately.. This was the only game of the season that was played upon a dry field. AUBURN vs. TECUMSEH In a game played in a down pour of rain, Tecumseh was able to eke out a win from the fighting Bulldogs, after a desperate battle. This game was played under the most trying conditions. The field was soggy and the cold rain made for little or no brilliant football. It was the clever work of Mathis, Tecumseh back, that ripped great holes in the Auburn forward walls and made their touchdown possible. It was only in the last few minutes of the game that Dean Higgins’ lads were able to push the pigskin over. Tecumseh had a well balanced machine and much credit is due them for their great work under such adverse conditions. AUBURN vs. HAMBURG The Bulldogs looked exceptionally good in defeat against a much heavier team. This game was a good battle to watch, as the Iowans attack was varied and well executed. They were a “cocky” outfit and might have scored several times more had they not been over-confident. However, the weight advantage was entirely too much for the light Auburn forward wall. RESERVE FOOTBALL The second team (Bullpuppies) played a three-game schedule and were neither defeated nor scored upon. The first game was played at Talmage and resulted in a 19 to 0 victory. The off-tackle smashes of Handley and Epperson was too much for Talmage. The second game was played at home with Nebraska City. The City lads had high hopes of winning, but were stopped by the seconds in a handy fashion. Kreglo was able to cross the ghost line late in the third quarter for the only score of the game. A return game on the local gridiron with Talmage resulted in a thirty-seven to nothing defeat for the visitors. It looked more like a track meet to see the Auburn backs run the ends. Some of the boys that will be varsity players next year received some very valuable experience on the reserve team this year. Front Row:—N. Andrews. Myers. Reed. Rissc. Gorden. Handley. Back Row:—Breternitz, Letellier. Felstner, Brod. Eells. Drulincr. Higgins. As another basketball season was brought to a close we were able to look back on a season which may be considered very successful. Coach Higgins had an abundance of good material on hand and made the most of it. The team was handicapped somewhat in mid-season. when. Sailors, veteran guard, became ineligible. This threw the team out of ■‘tune” for a few games, but they soon recovered and began winning again. The ability to meet these untimely conditions speaks very highly of the ability of Coach Higgins and of his ability to inspire his teams to do great things. CAPT. JACK REED—Forward—Senior This was Jack’s third year as a varsity basketballer. Throughout the entire season he played like a veteran and proved a capable leader. With this responsibility he piloted the Bulldogs through a very successful season. Reed has the height, the brains and the fight that made him a dangerous man offensively and exceptionally clever as a guard. Reed’s place on the team as a leader and a point-getter will be hard to fill next year. ANDREWS RISSE MYERS GORDEN NEAL ANDREWS—Forward—Senior Like his running mate Reed, Andrews has played three years of basketball. In his Junior year he captained the team and this year his play was outstanding. He was hitting the basket consistently and playing a brand of ball that won the admiration of the spectators. Neal’s place next year will be open to another Andrews, but our hopes that it will be filled as proficiently is in doubt. HOMER MYERS— Guard—Senior “Doc” proved a great guard and an offensive man of no mean ability. His play the entire season steadily improved, making him one of the most consistent men on the team. His clean play and “never say die” spirit proved an inspiration to his teammates. The records show that he played in every game and only fourteen personal fouls were called on him. Homer, too, is lost by graduation and his loss will be keenly felt. BYRON GORDEN—Guard—Senior “Bun” developed into a nifty guard after being shifted from center because of the loss of Sailors. No man on the entire squad was as willing a worker. Byron had an eye for the basket, and with an abundance of fight and speed, he was able to hold his own with the best of them. Gorden’s basketball days are over also, as he is a Senior. RISSE—Center—Junior “Hap” or “Abe”, be that as it may, is not only a football player, but his talents extend to the hard wood court. His chief delight was to linger under the opponents’ basket and cage a “marker” over the heads of the ambitious guards. Risse has the height and the talents to make a great name for himself. His uncanny eye under the basket made him high point man for the year. “We’re expecting great things of you, next year, Hap.” EELLS LETILLIER HANDLEY FEISTNER NATHAN EELLS-Guard—Junior “Nate has the speed and ability to become a guard of the best type. He has an unusually good eye” for the basket and defensively has been able to keep many a forward worrying. His handicap of size is easily made up in fight and speed. Eells lettered this year and by another season will be a regular Bulldog. PERDIN HANDLEY—Forward—Sophomore Perd saw more service than any of the subs. He played in a majority of the games and teamed up well with any of the first stringers. With this years experience and another years growth. Handley is on the road to stardom. He has two years more to wear the Scarlet and Green JOSEPH LETILLIER—Guard—Junior Joie will make a real guard in another year. He works hard, trains faithfully and uses his head. He did not play much of this year, but with the experience of playing as much as he did. will be of inestimable value for next season. HENRY FEISTNER—For word—J unior Hank did not play much this year, but should make a regular next season. Henry handles the ball well and when hitting the hoop is in order he can be counted on for some points. Next year should be a great season for this Bulldog. THE CHEERLEADERS “Ted” Clark and “Spec” Lechliter led the noisy end of the high school in a very efficient manner. They were always on hand to cheer the teams to victory. This is Charles’ last year, but Vern will be back next year to carry on again.

AUBURN 27—SYRACUSE 13 In the first game of the season, the Bulldogs entertained Syracuse on the home court and after thirty-two minutes of great ball for so early in the season, sent the visitors back by a decisive score. Captain Reed performed the steller role and gained ten points. This game saw practically the entire squad in action. AUBURN 28—NEBRASKA CITY 22 In this game played on the Nebraska City court, saw the determined Bulldogs eke a well earned win from their rivals. The game was fast and hard fought with the lead changing several times during the first half. It was the third quarter that gave the “Higmen” the win. In this stanza they tallied thirteen points, fairly sweeping the strong City defense before them. This game will long be remembered. Owens, diminutive City guard, was outstanding for the losers, while the entire Auburn five performed well. Risse tallied five times from the field to be high point man in this game. AUBURN 14—WESLEYAN 19 The third game of the season was not a charm. With “jaws” set on a win, the home boys engaged the strong Wesleyan five only to have the tables reversed. The game was played on the Auburn court and was a “thriller.” Perhaps if Hoag, elusive Wesleyan forward, had stayed home, things would have been different. This lanky lad hit the basket seven times from the field and once from a gift shot, enough to win the game. Reed and Sailors played well for the losers. AUBURN 12—FALLS CITY 9 The Bulldogs swept the Jug” Brown’s proteges off their feet in a fast game played at Falls City. The half time found the score 10 to 1 for Auburn. The second half found the Falls City lads desperate and in short order ran the score to nine. For the last five minutes, the score remained the same. Some clever guarding featured this game. Brown’s men did not get a shot inside the free throw line. Every Bulldog performed creditably in this game and brought Auburn wins to number four. AUBURN 19—SABETHA 27 In one of the fastest and hardest fought games of the season the Bulldogs were defeated on the Sabetha court by eieht points. The Kansans excelled in height, which proved a great advantage. The score at the half time was seven to twelve for Sabetha. At the end of the third period the fighting Bulldogs were ahead fourteen to fifteen. It was during the wanning moments of the game that the margin of victory was gathered. This game will long be remembered as one of the fastest games of the season. The feature of the game was Capt. Reed’s ability to make good his gift tosses. He made six out of seven tries. L. Myrich was the big noise for Sabetha as the Scarlet and Green had Stoner, lanky Sabetha center, “covered.” Page Eighty-Four � Z ' AUBURN 21—DAWSON 18 In a thrilling game, a talking Dawson basketball team, was out-fought by the Bulldogs on January 28. Tne game was clean and fast. Due to the stellar work of Green, shifty Dawson forward, the game was never in the win column until the final gun. The Bulldogs were kept in the running by some near underbasket work by Risse. For a while it looked like the Dawson boys came here for a debate, instead of a basketball game and only by orders of official Jones, did they play ball. Forward Green, Dawson, was easily the star of the game, earning thirteen of his team’s total. The “Bulldogs” all fought every minute and it would be hard to pick a star. AUBURN 10—PLATTSMOUTH 21 On the P. H. S. court, Higgins’ proteges were defeated by a decisive score on February 1. The “Bulldogs” nave no alibis for their defeat. They fought hard, but were handicapped because of a necessary shift in the lineup and were defeated. It was the long tosses of Hadraba, blonde Plattsmouth forward, that won the game. It was “his night and he made the most of it. Captain Reed played a brilliant game for Auburn and was the only man to score from the field. AUBURN 12—PERU 14 In a game like you often read about and seldom see, Peru Prep was able to rough a win by two points from a determined Auburn five. It was a great game all the way through. At the half time Peru was leading 8 to 4. The “Bulldogs” came back in the second half and were leading up until the last few minutes when a free toss and a lucky goal by Dasher grabbed the game. I. Williams was able to gather two field goals for Peru, while Reed made six of his team’s total. Gorden at guard, proved a “find” and broke up play after play like a veteran. AUBURN 19—FALLS CITY 12 The district champions found things not so easy going and were defeated by a decisive score of 19 to 12. The score does not tell the tale. The local five were never in danger. The orange and black lads from the “south” could not get a close up shot so tight was the defense. Coach Brown substituted freely, using ten men, but it was all in vain. The second string (“Bullpups”) played the last quarter. Neal Andrews was “hot” this game and walked off with scoring honors with eight points being the total of his four field goals. AUBURN 8—WESLEYAN 17 It was the same story as the first game, only worse. Hoag, great Wesleyan forward, just couldn’t miss and made four field goals the first quarter. The “Bulldogs” looked like “kittens” in this game although they were far more harmless. Credit must be given to the city lads for they were “on their toes” and won hands down.” The score at the half was 5 to 11. AUBURN 27—STELLA 17 The blue and white cage five from Stella had high hopes of “copping a game from a “city” team and thus invaded the home court. It didn’t amount to much. The first string was leading 12 to 5 at the half time. In the second half Risse went on a scoring spree and flipped five field goals in rapid order. Then Higgins sent in the second stringers, which were able to hold their own. Andrews had 8 points. AUBURN 2—DAWSON 12 This was the opening round of the district tourney. The boys had high hopes of “taking” class A, but the team we defeated earlier in the esason kept us in a daze” and won handily. Reed was the only one to score and that a fielder, a nifty toss on an out-of bounds play. This game eliminated the “Bulldogs” who were doped to win. AUBURN 22—NEBRASKA CITY 17 Not disheartened by their defeat at the tourney the “Bulldogs” came back and sent the “purple and gold” cage five home to tell of their defeat. It was a fast and rough game. In the opening period Nebraska City seemed lost and � zz r ° ( « the Auburn lads had piled up a handsome lead of 12 points as a result of “dead-eye” Risse’s work under the basket. The score at the half was 16 to 6 for Auburn. In the second half there was times when the court resembled an arena in Madison Square Garden and as a result Sterner and Andrews went to the showers. In this game Myers, modest A. H. S. guard, played a steller role while Risse earned 8 points for his team. AUBURN 27— PERU 12 In the last game of the season, the Auburn basket tossers were, beyond a doubt, at their best. They played hard and fast and were never in danger as they handed their rivals a defeat by the decisive score of 27 to 12. The half found the score 17 to 5 and as the game went on Coach Higgins sent in new men, who were able to hold the fighting “Prepmen” on even terms. The best the visitors could do, was to get two held goals, while Risse caged six field goals alone and enough to win the game. This game will long be remembered as one of the best ever witnessed on the home court. 1. Risse INDIVIDUAL fg. 35 SCORING ft. 9 pf. 12 Total 79 2. Reed 25 25 22 73 3. N. Andrews 22 2 16 46 4.

RESERVE BASKETBALL AUBURN 4—FALLS CITY 5 The first game for the Auburn reserves was played at Falls City and will be remembered for what did not happen. It was a slow game conspicuous for its lack of scoring. Falls City made two field goals and one free throw, while the “young” Bulldogs toed the black line seven times, and made four of them good. Auburn used nine men, but to no avail. AUBURN 15—SABETIIA 14 The understudies of the Bulldogs pulled a big surprise by upsetting the Sabetha seconds in a game that went an extra period. In this game the A. H. S. Seconds would not “give up” and a free toss in the extra period by Eells gave the game to Auburn. Gorden playing center, played a steller role for the Scarlet and Green, and gathered seven points. Eells broke up the Kansans’ plays in a great fashion at guard in this game. DAWSON 13—AUBURN 11 On January 28, a lanky team of basket tossers from Dawson invaded the home court, and after four quarters of fast basketball were able to win by a margin of a field goal. The A. H. S. Seconds played a great ball game and were only beaten by a long basket in the last seconds of the game. Each team made four field goals, but Dawson made two of its free tosses good which was enough to win the game. AUBURN 9—FALLE CITY 3 The Auburn Seconds avenged the defeat at Falls City earlier in the season and “took” their rivals by a 9 to 3 score. It was a hard fought game and the inability of the Falls City Seconds to penetrate the “air-tight” defense that kept Coach Brown’s boys at bay. This was the last of the season for the “understudies.” The season ended with two wins and two loses. Front Row:—Cummings, Muse, Ingersoll, L. Andrews, Wheeler, Ruddy, Guilliatt, Rothrock, Armstrong. Second Row:—Anderson, Teten, Kimball, Nixon, Reed, Epperson, Letellier, Snow. Third Row:—Breternitz, Galloway, Stevenson, Stokes, Cowel, Gorden, Brod, Higgins. Track CO-CAPTAIN KREGLO George tied for first in the state meet last year in the high jump.

He knows that the long way around of saving is the shortest road to financial independence. He shies away from wildcat speculation schemes like a rabbit does from a rattlesnake. When a man deposits hard-earned savings with the First National Bank he knows he is getting more than just interest return.

The surface calm is broken by an occasional squall: a king toppled from a throne, a revolution, a flurry of war, a dogma, a law; but the depths are undisturbed. And LIFE is a game from beginning to end, from dawn to dusk: a child sobbing over a sawdust doll, a mother protecting her offspring with her life, youth plunging the line, bounding down the cinder lane, pulling an oar, or matching wits on the debating floor for the school; maturity marching into battle for an oil well in Mesopotamia, a coal field in the Ruhr, a shipping lane in the North Sea, or a rubber plantation in the Indies. It was so upon the first day, it will be so upon the last. VICTORY is the lady for whose favor we enter the lists; she is the SPIRIT OF THE GAME, the motive with which we endure the privation of the play. The issue rests wholly in the playing of the game, whether it is heroic or unheroic, sportsmanlike or unsportsmanlike; dragged out half-heartedly, or pushed through to a conclusion. Education in the true sense, is at best but a training in adjustment, an adjustment which will enable a man (or woman) to meet his (or her) problems with life intelligently and honorably. There are many objections to our great educational system— this is the nature of all human institutions—but there are also many compensations from which maturity may learn, if it will, much and not the least of these is THE SPIRIT OF THE GAME. (H. W. Whicker, Scribners.) We commend the Class of 1929 to this program of life and our best wishes go with them. Barton C. Howe and William H.
