The Annual Publication of the Auburn High School i93i VOLUME XXVIII 1931 DEDICATION = 1 (oA f ODERNISM calls for an individual spirit, harmony and good will. Without a spirited background and undying support, nothing can be accomplished. The staff accordingly dedicates this review of 1 930 and 1931 to our student body, without whose aid and cooperation our ideals and accomplishments would not have been possible. It is our earnest desire that the students of A. H. S. will be able to keep their spirit of youth by frequently looking through the pages of this review, which we joyfully dedicate to them. ® FOREWORD |U R I N G a long course of years there is always a slight change in accepted standards. We have tried to show in our review of Auburn School life in 1 930 and 1 931 that we recognize the spirit of modernism. We sincerely believe that this record of school events is a fitting representation of our high school during this school year. I Y CONTENTS ®= Administration Classes Activities Athletics School Life A. H. 5. J. A. JIMERSON 0VERY community has a right to expect that those charged with the responsibility of administering school affairs will keep themselves informed as regards to the most recent developments in educational philosophy. The school administrator should have in mind sound educational philosophy when, with the cooperation of his teachers, he sets up the program of school activities. High School annuals constitute a record largely of the extra-curricular work of the schools. This record indicates a tremendous increase in the number of extra-curricular activities and a far wider participation on the part of the pupils of the schools in these activities. It is the part of wisdom, therefore, to check this educational trend against educational philosophy to see whether the increase in these activities is desirable or justifiable. Recently a prominent educator said that he hoped that pedagogical practice in the extra-curricular field would not descend to the level of the curricular methods. Another prominent educator has made the statement that the most significant trend in modern education is the recognition of the high educational value of extra-curricular work. Probably the most significant change in educational work during recent years has been a shifting of emphasis from the subject to the pupil. The work of the school is becoming “pupil-centered.” Only permanent learning takes place when there is activity on the part of the pupil. “We learn to do by doing.” Unquestionably the extra-curricular subjects encourage greater active participation on the part of the pupil than do the curricular subjects. While the extracurricular activities should have a sensible supervision, the students exercise a large measure of initiative and control. School life should more closely approximate civic life. Only as leadership and initiative are encouraged in the school will they be later exercised in civic affairs. —J. A. JIMERSON. 1931 Page Nine A. H. 5. DR. H. L. FEISTNER WILLIAM WULF HOXIE N. HOWE BOARD OF EDUCATION HE statement made by Disraeli that, “Youth is a blunder; manhood a struggle; old age a regre,” has been disproved by modern ideas. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being one complete sum of all his thoughts. Man is made or unmade by himself; in the armoury of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself; he also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy, strength, and peace. Man is always the master, even in his weakest and most abandoned state; but in his weakness he is the foolish master who misgoverns his household. When he begins to reflect upon his conditions and to search for the law upon which his being is established, he then becomes the wise master, directing his energies with intelligence, and fashioning his thoughts to fruitful issues. Only by searching is truth obtained, and man can find every truth concerning his life if he will look deep within himself. He is the maker of his character, the moulder of his life, and the creator of his destiny; this he may prove if he will watch his thoughts, tracing their effects upon himself and ethers. In this direction is the law, “He that seeketh findeth.” Youth is not a blunder. To youth and youth alone has been given the greatest gift bestowed on mankind, vision—vision without fear—fear of judgment, fear of criticism, fear of failure. It is our task as members of the Board of Education to provide the materials that these young people may take and use to strengthen their thoughts and ideals, to give them hope, courage, and ambition that these visions may become realities, and not be lost to mankind.

Peru State Teachers College High School Principal gUBURN HIGH has for its outstanding tradition, a student body resplendent in fineness, in loyalty, in cooperation, and in sterling worth—a student body that is renowned for all of those fine qualities of citizenship, which are required to build a nation of fine men and women. This Student body is made up of numerous personalities of varying traits. Some traits have been submerged for the common good, some emphasized, until Auburn High leads in that intangible something known as school spirit. As a direct oiftcome, I predict for each of its citizens a well-rounded life of exalted usefulness. —F. L. SIEVERS. 1931 Page Eleven EMMA MICHAELSEN Columbus, Nebraska B. S.

' I-1 ROSE GROCHONG ELLA K. JOHNSON = 1931 - Page Twenty-Three Senior Class History ' S EACH, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT chooses his book of school memories, he cannot forget the times of joy, sorrow, laughs, fears, and tears. It has rightly been said, “The happiest days of life are those spent in school.” When we, the present class of ’31, entered the high school four years ago, we little knew what the future held in store for us. In our first year, Miss Frances McCormick and Miss McGrew were our sponsors. Several “frosh” of that year earned “A” pins. The following year, we were sophomores. They say “sophisticated,” but we did not have very much of that redeeming feature. The same sponsors were again appointed to lead us through another successful school term. And then, it seems but over night, we became juniors. It was difficult to assume the intelligence and ability which always marks a junior. During this year our class was particularly outstanding, because of the fact that we had representatives in every activity and organization. Under the supervision of Miss Jamison and Miss Oliver, we were able to do very remarkable things. Seniors at last! Queer that we want to come back next year, isn’t it? It is hard to believe that we must break our ties with our dear school—but wait! Must we do that? Need we break all bonds because we are graduated? No, of course not. Let’s always be high school students in memory. We’ll never forget school, faculty, or classmates, and we hope they will cherish the memory of us, the graduating class of ’31, with equal fervor. = 1931 = Page Twenty-Four A. H. S. Senior Class Prophecy 6iJ IT IS THE YEAR OF 1961, thirty years after we graduated from our dear old Alma Mater. How things have changed in the city that we used to call a “one-horse berg”! As I came over the city limits north of the town, below me I noticed that as usual there was a delay. It was because of the train that always had the amazing faculty of being stalled on the intersection. I looked down from my dirigible and saw some of the people in cars who had not yet followed the vast majority in becoming air-minded. I landed about where Gillan’s old home used to be. They were building on the spot, and I walked over to it. The carpenter came over and looked aJt me queerly, and I found, to my astonishment, he was Perdin Handley. I asked about all our classmates, and he told me that he had Cyril Thornburg and Sass Spurgin working for him. After a pleasant chat with my old friends I went over the tracks to the canning factory. I found Bill Rogge, as foreman. I made my way up town, and I had not gone far before I saw a traffic cop, with a long beard, bawling out two young people, in a Cord, for speeding. (These cars are as popular now as was the Ford in my day). I walked over to the car and listened to the criticism he was bestowing upon the occupants of the car. To my utter amazement I found that the officer was Bill Schacht. He was telling the children that he never went over twenty miles an hour when he was in high school. I spoke to him, and when he recognized me, he began to blush and make apologies. Then I turned to the two people in the car who were nearly frightened to death. I asked the boy his name, and he said, “Wesley Palmer, Junior.” Well, that was enough for me! The girl said her name was Mary Dustin. Who would ever have thought that the children of my old classmates would be pairing up? I was invited to dinner at the Palmer home, and, as you have already guessed, Mary Kathryn was the charming head of that household. After a nice evening spent in talking over old times, I made my way to the Dustin home. Jim came to the door. He was smoking a pipe. I laughed to myself, because I remembered what a time he had smoking a pipe when he was in high school. I met his wife, and who do you suppose she was? Josephine Brissey. I was never so surprised in all my life. They have three children, and I whs very pleased to find they had named the youngest one after me. I went down to the place where Hasl’s Sweet Shop used to be, and I saw that it had been turned into a Gifte Shoppe. I followed my womanly instinct of being curious, and went inside. I saw a man handling the delicate laces and linens, and he came to ask me if there was anything I wished. His polishni manners made him very familiar. It was not until he began talking about tariffs and customs that I recognized him to be Dick Stivers. Poor old Dick. He never could get those duties straight in American History. A delicatessen store across the street caught my attention, and I immediately went to it. The manager was Lorene Galloway. She asked me all about myself, and I reversed the questions. She told me she was married, and her husband was our old friend, Howard Smith. He was inside, in the back room, putting butter on sandwiches. All the little Smiths were playing around, and it was after one had put a wet lollypop in my hair that I took my leave. “Just like its papa,” I thought. Down the street a large sign arrested my attention. I read, “Dorothy’s Shop.” Here, I thought I might find some more of my old classmates. And sure enough, when I went into the apartment, I saw good old. Dort Sloan and Dort Rarick. Sloan married Mr. Avey the second year after graduation, and Dorothy Rarick was an old maid. I gathered she had been disappointed in the love affair which was interesting to all of us during her senior year in school. I began to feel rather weak from excitement, so I went into a restaurant to get something to eat. I sat down at one of the tables, and I noticed a waitress, and recognized in her another school mate. She was Ora Humphrey. She told me that she and Mildred Johnson were in partnership in the corporation, and that Mildred was the cook. When I started to pay my bill I noticed that the cashier was chewing gum very rapidly. Nothing could recall a person to my mind as readily as gum chewed in that fashion. I knew at the first, glance that it was Ruth Andresen. She told me that she had been married for fifteen years to Clarence Teten. Her husband had been teaching in a school in the booming city of Howe. He was the principal, and Ruth told me that our old friend, Lucille Cummings, had become the superintendent of the Auburn Public Scnools. - 1931 = Page Twenty-Five I walked down the street towards the Hawkins Hotel about which I had heard so much. I saw on the street corner two men who were sitting on boxes. Each of them had a sign hanging around his neck which read, “Please help the blind.” I became soft hearted, and put a quarter in the tin cup. The men were playing a Jews Harp and a fiddle. As I came closer to them I recognized them, and did not hesitate a moment longer to withdraw my money from the cup. “Tom Collins and Van Tracy,” I exclaimed, “What in the world are you doing?” They both looked at me very shame-facedly and said that they were getting money for campaigning. It was then that I found that Ernie Brod and Donald Blount were both running for the pcsiticn of Senator of Nebraska. Tom and Van were taking this means cf acquiring seme money with which to campaign. Tom told me that he and Van had been gangsters for five years, and after they had put A1 Capone, Jr., out of business they had decided to do something more peaceful. Tom had married Inez Curtis, and Van was engaged to marry Ada Darling. I found that Inez Dovel was teaching in the Commercial Department of the Auburn High School, and that Mildred Chapman was still a capable office girl. Catherine Gillan had married Lyle Bohl, and they were running the City Swimming Pool. They have a little heme right down in the park. They are still charging thirty-five cents to swim, the same as they used to do when I was a high school student. At last I went to my room at the hotel. I saw my old friend Vivian, sitting at the desk. After we had talked for a while she pressed a button, and the chambermaid, Ada Mastin came to take me to my room. On our way I found that the elevator girl was Minnie Rogge. The next morning at breakfast I was surprised to find that the hostess was Le Ree Clarke. There was a lovely program for the visitors during breakfast, and Frances Cepes was the mistress of ceremonies. Mary Meyers was the featured singer. I was astonished because I had never heard of her singing while we were in school together. I decider, to take a stroll in the forenoon, so I walked down the street to where Perry’s Clothing Store used to be. It had been changed to a Ladies’ Ready-to-Wear. The proprietress was Hertha Oestmann. The models were my old friends Elsie Applegate and Donna Bourlier. I boarded a street car and took my way out to some of the suburbs which had sprung up with amazing swiftness since I had lived in Auburn. As I walked along the sidewalk, I saw a sign on the window of one of the houses, “Doctor Rozean.” I went in and found my pal, Jean, in a long operating gown. She had become very business-like, and her surroundings looked like she was quite prosperous. She told me she got the idea to be a doctor when she was living with her sister. She had to take care of all her wounds when they would htive fights. Dr. Rozean’s assistant was Imo Grant. She had changed a good deal. She was very fat and had bleached her hair. When I shook hands with her, I nearly screamed, because she squeezed my hand so tight. The head nurse in this institution was Elthel Conn. Doctor Rozean told me that she was a very efficient nurse and she had been working for her for ten years. I walked on down the street, into the residental district, and I noticed two little girls fighting over a doll. I feared that they would hurt each other so I tried to console them and make them more calm. They immediately began fighting me and kicking me and pulling my hair. I started to yell for help, and two wemen came running frem the houses. They began chastising me for hurting their little girls. Before they went much further, I recognized one of the mothers as Dorothy Dressier. The other one was Phyllis Long. Well, that is the reason the children were of such a fighting temperament—Just like their mothers were when they were in school. Rose Grochong was acting in the capacity of nurse maid for these warring youngsters. When I returned to town I saw Dorothy Stevenson and Bertha Letellier. They told me that they were playing in a movie house in town. That this was the night of the premier showing of their second big picture production. Then I saw my dear old friend Willis Zacharias. He took me to dinner and told me that he was married to Mary McAlexander. I congratulated him, and reminded him of all the good times all of us kids used to have. After renewing acquaintances, I went back to Nebraska City to resume my duty as a Biology Instructor. —MAXINE MALONY. = 1931 = Page Twenty-Six Senior Class Will S� Ti THE SENIOR CLASS of the High School of Auburn, of the County of Nemaha, and State of Nebraska, are aware of the fact that this class of “31” is the best class that ever entered this institution.

After much adjusting we elected officers. Wayne Ruddy was chosen president; Lanning Andrews, vice president; Maxine Smith, secretary and treasurer. We held two parties that year. The next year we came back feeling much older and nearer sophistication. We held election of officers, and Lanning Andrews was chosen president; Wayne Stephenson, vice president; Margie Souders, secretary; Beth Langford, treasurer. We held one party that year. Our members did much to show how the spirit of Auburn High School had entered their lives. Lanning Andrews was a much valued member of the first team in basketball, as well as a versatile member of the track team. Beth Langford was a regular member of the debate team. Margie Souders won second in the piano solo at the M-I-N-K Contest, and Beth Langford placed second in the contralto solo. This year we returned to school eager to retain the spirit of our class. Lloyd Clark was chosen president; Lenore Stone, vice president; Carl Oestmann, secretary and treasurer. For cur first party for the year, we had the first theatre party to be held by a class in A. H. S. Our second party was held in the Legion Hall, and proved to be an outstanding success. This year, also, we represented old A. H. S. in a rousing fashion. Aurora Rapp won first in the humorous division of the sub-district declamatory contest. Lanning again helped to make the basket ball team the success it was. Beth Langford won second in the c ntralio solo at the M-I-N-K contest. Wayne Ruddy was a regular member of the debate team. Lloyd Clark and Thurl Rogge were valuable members of the Bulldog fc Jt-Nball team. Lanning was chosen captain of the ’32 basket ball team, and Lloyd Clark captain of the ’32 football team. Maxine Smith won second in novice shorthand and typing at the District Contest, and Lois Jean Simpson won third in novice typing. Beth Langford won first in the accuracy contest held at the district commercial contest. Our fondest hope is to keep on doing things for our school. Page Thirty-Five 193 A.

V ‘ ? y - j - V Freshmen Class History N a bright sunny morning, September eighth, nineteen hundred thirty, a large group of Freshmen could be seen making their way towards Auburn High School. We were somewhat nervous and frightened, and were inclined to wonder into the wrong classrooms. However, in a short time we became acquainted with our teachers and began to feel at home. As we were young and inexperienced it was necessary that we have someone to guide us through our first year of high school. We were fortunate to have Miss Bfeachdll and Miss McCormick as sponsors.

X = 1931 = Page Forty-Eight CJ I----- — bJ CO Music Music has grown to be one of the most popular extra curricular subjects in the Auburn High School. Each year larger numbers seek to gain admittance to the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs and much interest is shown along this line. The high school students not only enjoy good music, but want to participate in the source. The Glee Clubs and Mixed Chorus make many local appearances as well as entering contests, and receive very high praise and comment for their musical ability. Each year the combined clubs present an operetta which is always well received and is one of the outstanding events of the school year. All of these things can be accomplished only through the splendid cooperation of the club members with Mrs. Langford. Mixed Chorus Four years ago, the Mixed Chorus was organized as a means of arousing interest in group singing in Auburn High School. Membership included any student who wished to join, but later it became necessary to reorganize it into a group containing only members of Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs. Mrs. Langford, being an especially capable leader of large groups, has made this into one of the strongest organizations of the school. This group does exceptionally fine work, and has shown its ability on various occasion. At the M-I-N-K Contest in Peru, the Auburn Mixed Chorus placed first, as it has in preceding years. This organization received the highest praise from the judges. At the District Music Contest, in Omaha, the judge awarded first place to the Auburn Mixed Chorus.

They have had a successful year, due to the careful instruction of Mrs. Langford, and the ability and interest shown by the boys. The Boys’ Glee Club won first at the M-I-N-K Contest.

In a dream that he had, all the toys came to life and prince saw the hardships that the toymaker endured. He was changed by this vision and received the true Christmas Spirit which was “doing for others.” = 19 31 -- Page Fifty-Four A. H. S. High School Operetta “OH! DOCTOR” “Oh! Doctor,” the high school operetta, was given at the Bennett Theatre on April 23. The production was well prepared and the audience thoroughly enjoyed the many different situations and the excellent music. Cyril Thornburg, Mary Kathryn Fraser, Lanning Andrews, Beth Langford, and James Dustin appeared as the leading characters in the production. Wayne Stevenson, Dudley Bobbitt, Marjorie Souders, Maxine Malony, Van Tracy, Willis Zacharias, and Wayne Ruddy were responsible for much of the humor. Other principal characters were Jane Richardson, Faye Andrews, Nadine Parker, Ralph Umland, Thomas Collin, Maxine Malony, William Schacht, Carl Oestmann, Frances Spurgin, Lois Jean Simpson, and Carleen Hohensee. This cast was aided by a chorus of nurses, patients, visitors, cowboys, and Mexicans. Mrs. Langford, supervisor of music, was in complete charge of the operetta. Inez Dovel as accompanist, deserves much credit. Page Fifty-Five Orchestra This year our orchestra has been under the very efficient leadership of Mr. Johnson. In previous years, the organization had no assigned leader. Mrs. Langford and Mr. Jimerson both gave their time to its direction, but this is the first year that the school board has definitely hired a director. Mr. Johnson is a very talented musician. He has played in the Stuart Theatre Orchestra, and is master of several instruments. He has shown his ability as a director, and has led the orchestra through a successful year. They received Honorable Mention at the M-I-N-K contest.

S. at the M-I-N'K Contest Four year ago the M-I-N-K Music and Dramatic Contest was organized at Peru. The organization includes towns from sections of Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas. All schools are classified for large and small groups, according to their enrollment, while solos are placed in one group. The competition is keen in all the events and awards are well earned. Banners are presented to groups winning first and, medals to soloists winning first and second; honorable mention to third and fourth. In each class, the school having the most points, is given a trophy. If the same school wins the trophy three successive years, it becomes the permanent property of that school. The first three years of the contest Auburn won the cup, and it is now on display in the trophy case, at Auburn. Falls City was winner this year.

The Club elected the following officers: President, Muriel Schaffer; Vice President, Nadine Parker; Secretary-Treasurer, Jessie Llewellyn. The club was divided into three sections for meetings; each section being under the leadership of a member of the executive committee. Meetings were held twice a month by each section, and the whole club met for parties. The entertainment consisted of readings. Light refreshments were served. Each division presented a one-act play. The first of these was a pantomine “And the Light Went Out,” given by Jessie Llewellyn’s division. Nadine Parker’s group presented “Kidnapping Betty.” “At the Stroke of Twelve” was given by Muriel Schaffer’s group. The Junior Dramatic Contest was held February 12.

Senior Dramatics The Senior Dramatic Club, made up of those students who have had some experience in dramatic work, has had an active part in furnishing entertainment for the school and the people of Auburn. This club sponsored the local declamatory contest, the sub-district declamatory contest, and two plays. An attempt was made to have each member of the club take part in one of the major productions. In this way a greater number of people derived benefit from the instruction given.

Whether we kept the cup or not, depended upon our entering into, and taking as many events as possible. Dramatics had played little if any part in the winning of the cup in the past two years. Auburn’s chance would be greatly strengthened if the one-act play could be won. Sc with an excellent cast at her command, Miss Oliver set about with one goal in mind—to win the pennant. Not only did the play win first place, but both of its leading characters were judged the outstanding characters for individual acting ability in Class A. The one-act play “Strength,” by Marjorie Striegel, was given by the following cast: Viola Tabbot—A senior in University..........Ruth Penney Joyce Waldt—Her friend and the daughter of a wealthy family... ...................................Lila Beth Codington Ray Baker—A university instructor..........Perdin Handley Betty Walker—A university friend of Viola.....Aurora Rapp Helen Walker—Her sister and a freshman.......Beth Langford Perdin Handley and Lila Codington were highly commended by the judge for their acting ability.

The local declamatory contest was held at the high school on March 16. The decisions were: Dramatic—Beth Langford, first; Faye Andrews, second; Marjorie McPherren, third. Humorous—Aurora Rapp, first; Nadine Parker, second; Margaret McKnight, third. Oratorical—Frances Copes. The judges were Miss Wyman and Mrs. E. L. Stimbert of Johnson, and Miss Mary E .Kiechel of Brock. The Sub-District Declamatory Contest was held at Auburn on March 27. Aurora Rapp placed first in the humorous division with the reading “Life on the Ocean Waves.” Beth Langford, who gave “Mothers of Men,” was second in the Dramatic group. Perdin Handley placed third in the group of cxtemperaneous speakers. Mrs. Regina Holcomb of Lincoln acted as judge for this contest. In the District Declamatory Contest at Lincoln on April 10, Auburn was represented by Beth Langford and Aurora Rapp. Copes Langford Rapp Handley = 1931 - Page Sixty-One A. H. S Plays “That Furgeson Family” The Junior-Senior Dramatic Club, sponsored by Miss Lotta Oliver, presented the play, “That Ferguson Family,” Tuesday, March 31, at the Bennett Theatre. Each member of the well-chosen cast played his part well. Maxine Malony, in the difficult role of mother of the Ferguson family, and Lyle Bohl, as father of the family, did acting of a quality unusual in high schojol dramatic groups. Their portrayal of the rather intense closing scene of the play was especially artistic. The other characters also did commendable work. Marjorie Souders was good in her dramatic role of the youngest daughter. Lanning Andrews, as her boastful lover, was excellent. Irvin Maag and Aurora Rapp, as the other children of the Ferguson family, played their parts well. Howard Smith, Mary Kathryn Fraser, Francis Spurgin, and Ruth Andresen were likewise good in their roles. The members of the cast and their director are to be congratulated upon their successful production of “That Ferguson Family.” “The Youngest” “The Youngest,” a three-act comedy by Phillip Barry, was presented by the dramatic department at the Bennett Theatre on May 19. “The Youngest” is a variation of the Cinderella theme in which the hero, a downtrodden son, ccmes into contact with a charming young busybody, the heroine. The Youngest eventually learns to assert himself and turns upon his oppressors in fine style. The action of the play takes place in a small New York State City.

H. S. — Commercial Once more Auburn brought home honors for the school and town, by making a total of sixty-two points in the district commercial contest, at Humboldt, April 3. Although entered in only two subjects, Auburn nosed out ahead of the other eight towns of the district, who entered in four. Nebraska City placed secohd; and Falls City, third. Tests were given in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and spelling. Auburn had no contestants in the last two subjects, but made up for this by winning five first places, four second, two third, two fourth, and one fifth. Following is a list of the Auburn pupils who won places: Champion short- hand—Mary Kathryn Fraser, first; and Catherine Gillan, second. Champion typing—Catherine Gillan, first; and Inez Dovel, third. One minute accuracy typing— Beth Langford, first; Ora Humphrey, second; and Maxine Smith, fourth. Novice shorthand—Maxine Smith, second; and Lenore Stone, fifth. Novice typing—Maxine Smith, second; Lois Jean Simpson, third; and Minnie Roggee, fourth. Both of the typing teams placed first, adding twenty extra points to Auburn’s score. The novice team consisted of Lois Jean Simpson, Minnie Rogge, and Beth Langford; the champion team of Mary Kathryn Fraser, Inez Dovel, and Catherine Gillan. Mary Kathryn Fraser, who won first place in champion shorthand in the district contest this year, also won first in novice shorthand in both district and state contests last year. f , These pupils have worked long and hard in thesei $ubmct£, and well deserve the honors they received.

Debate The team which represented Auburn in the conference debates this year consisted of Geneva Meyers, Wayne Ruddy, Maxine Malony, and Faye Andrews. The team lacked experience at the start, but that was soon overcome by hard work and adaptability. Geneva Meyers, the first speaker, is a junior this year. Debating was a new subject to her, but she soon learned of its secrets and handled her part splendidly before the season progressed very far. It was her duty as first speaker, to start the argument for her teammates. Geneva conquers difficulties by hard work, that is the reason she succeeds. Besides speaking ability she has a splendid appearance on the floor. We will expect much of her next year. Wayne Ruddy, the second speaker, Is also a junior. This was Wayne’s first year as a debater, but he too, studied the subject thoroughly. His logic made his opponents frown in despair. It was his duty to deliver the hard blows that caused the opponents’ argument to crumble. He filled his duty with honor. Next year, Wayne will be hard to beat in debating. He will be a real asset to our team. Maxine Malony, the third speaker and the captain, is a senior. That is the only thing we regret about her as a debater. She was one of the best debaters in the conference. Maxine has a pleasing manner and a good vocabulary. Her keenness in thinking is very outstanding. She finished the good work started by Geneva and continued by Wayne. Her place on the team will be hard to fill. Faye Andrews, a sophomore, was the alternate for the team this year. Faye has the making of a good debater. She did not take part in any league debates, but her experience will be valuable next year.

S. Mixer On September 12, the first Friday night of the present school year, the entire student body of Auburn High School met in the gymnasium for an ull-school mixer. The “mixing” was accomplished in an effective manner and scon all were very much at home, and enjoyed a program including a vocal solo by Mary Kathryn Fraser, vocal duets by the Mar-Max Sisters, piano solo by Inez Dcvel, and a pantomine, “Wild Nell, The Pet of the Plains,” by the High School Faculty. The pantomine proved to be a real ‘ thriller.” Great shouts of laughter greeted the appearance of Mr. Higgins as “Handsome Harry, King of the Cowboys” riding a stick horse. Mrs. Langford as “Wild Nell,” was truly a “pet of the plains” and seemed at home astride a stick horse or in an imaginary boat. Mr. Jimerson and Mr. Sievers were the Indian chiefs “Sitting Bull” and “Bull Durham” who captured the lovely “Lady Vere De Vere” (known to us as Miss Oliver). Miss Jamison, Miss McCormick, Miss Michaelsen, and Miss Roberts had completely lost their identity and roamed the plains as Hula-Hula, the medicine woman, and her aids. At the close of the evening refreshments of punch and wafers were served. Everyone left feeling that they were glad to be apart of Auburn High School. May Fete The May Fete presented annually by the public schools of Auburn, is under the direction of Mrs. Wiley Langford, supervisor of music. The presentation of this annual festival is a large undertaking and is greatly enjoyed by the people of Auburn and surrounding communities. An attempt is made to have all students of the grades and high school participate in the activities of the day. A fitting pageant is presented followed by the crowning of the May Queen and the winding of the May poles in her honor. The May Queen and May Prince are selected by popular vote of the high school people from the members of the senior class. The attendants of the Queen and Prince are elected in the same manner from each of the classes. = 19 31 — Page Seventy-Three Convocations Weekly convocation programs have been sponsored during the year by a committee from the senior class. Dorothy Stevenson was chairman of the committee and worked with Miss Roberts in planning the series of programs. The entertainment brought to the high school in this way included musical and dramatic events as well as lectures and worthwhile discussions. An attempt was made to use talent from the schools as well as all available talent in the city. The student body appreciated the effort of the committees and felt that they received much that was inspirational as well as educational. Ministerial Association By a unanimous vote of the student body of the high school, members of the Ministerial Association of Auburn were invited again to bring to the high school their series of religious discussions. Each Monday morning one member of tihe association has discussed seme phase of the life of Christ. The ministers repson-sible for this course of study were Reverend Wm. Velte, Avenue M. E. Church; Reverend O. U. McProud, Methodist Episcopal Church; Reverend J. H. Hutchison, Church of Christ; Reverend Willis Velte, M. E. Church, Brownville and Nemaha; Reverend J. H. Patterson, Presbyterian Church. Lyceum Course The student groups from the high school and grade schools have had an opportunity to enjoy four programs of varied types brought to the school by arrangement with the Hilkey Lyceum Bureau. The programs were presented at the high school auditorium as matinee offerings. The first presentation was the Staples Novelty Duo. The Misner Players later presented the three-act comedy, “The Kibitzer.” The Krantz Concert Company brought an unusual musical program. The Allpress All Star Trio was a clever group of artists using the piano, violin and cello. = 19 3 1 = Page Seventy-Four Achievements of A. H. S. (From The Nemaha County Herald) During the past four years the Auburn high school has made an outstanding record in all forms of competition with other schools. Many people do not realize just what has been accomplished along these lines. We know that a football or basket ball game or a debate has been won and we are justly proud, but we soon forget about it and fail to realize, that over a period of years the sum total achievement has become something of which to be proud. Evidence of these many achievements are to be seen in the attractive trophy case which was recently presented to the high school by A. D. Smith, and which occupies a prominent place in the main corridor of the high school building. Mr. Smith is a graduate, who, in his school days was an outstanding athlete and a sprinter whose fame spread far and wide and whose feats are still recalled by many an old grad. In this case are many silver cups, penants and other trophies that speak eloquently of well-earned victories. Lest we forget just what has been accomplished to add to the prestige of the high school as well as to put the town on the map, attention is called to the following list of such achievements: 1927-28—Athletics—Basketball, Southeastern championship; Peru Invitation track meet, Auburn, first; Peru-Auburn dual track meet, Auburn, first. Dramatics —Sub-district, humorous, first; oratorical, second. East Central Nebraska declamatory contest, extemporaneous, first. State Declamatory Contest, extemporaneous, Auburn, first.

M-I-N-K contest, soprano, second; contralto, second; baritone, first; tenor, second; piano, second; mixed chorus, first; girls’ glee club, first; boys’ glee club, first, orchestra, second. 1930- 31 Incomplete—Athletics—Football, southeastern conference, second.

Music—District, girls’ glee club, first; boys’ glee club, first; mixed chorus, first. The above record is something of which every friend of the Auburn high school should be proud. It shows that not only during these years excellent material has been available, but it reflects credit upon teachers and coaches who haves been responsible for the development of this material into winners and champions. The school authorities have been fortunate in being able to secure the services of such men and women. = 1931 = Page Seventy-Five -A. H. S. = 1931 = Page Seventy-Six A. H. S Football COACH HIGGINS Coach Ralph Higgins is the maker of real teams. His training and teaching have been responsible for the continued development of Auburn athletes so that the successful teams of 1930-1931 have become a reality. CAPTAIN HANDLEY—Fullback Perdin Handley, one of Auburn’s greatest football stars, is one of those being graduated this year. He will be greatly missed next fall when Coach Higgins gives his annual call for the gridiron. , Perd” has been one of the Auburn stars for the last three years. He Is one of those few players who are willing to give their best ail the time. He is one of the best sports I have ever met or expect to meet on the football field. He practiced hard and played hard. He had a fine playing knowledge of football and knew the rules well. His ability to lead his men rather than drive them, won the confidence and respect of each one. 'Perd’s” quick thinking made him a wonderful captain for the Bulldogs. ’ Perd” will long be remembered by both Auburn fans and opponents as a fine captain, and one of the best halfbacks in all southeastern Nebraska. —1932 Bulldog. CAPTAIN-ELECT LLOYD CLARK One hundred sixty-five pounds of man—that is Lloyd Clark. Lloyd is a real football machine. He is a good, clean sport, and one of the best centers Auburn High has ever had. His never-say-die spirit, his unending team fight, his ruggedness, combine! with his knowledge of the finer points of the game all spell success. Clark has the qualifications of a leader, and with the whole hearted backing of his team mates he should be able to lead the Bulldogs to an all victorious season in 1931. —1931 Bulldog.

No little part of the credit may go to Mr. Nebelsick for the success of the“31” Bulldog teams in all three phases of athletics. His continued interest in athletics and his aid to Mr. Higgins have had their part in making worthwhile teams. His handling of the second teams shows his ability as a coach and leader. Reserve Football Under the guidance of assistant coach Nebelsick, the 1930 Bull Puppies started out for an eventful season. The Reserves’ first battle was October 10, with the Tecumseh Reserves. Although the game was a tie the Bull Pups outplayed Tecum-seh throughout the game. Harpham, Spurgin, and Irvine were probably the outstanding players for Auburn. The Reserves’ next game took place at Salem October 23. This was a very hard game to explain. The score was 42-0 in favor of Salem. However, the boys fought a hard game and did their best. On October 29, the second team went to Talmage. They outplayed the Tal-mage team throughout the game and threatened their good line several times, only to let them get through for a touchdown in the last three minutes of play, making the score 6-0, in favor of Talmage. More hard luck seemed to invade the Bull Pups’ Kennel. The Brock boys came to Auburn with great hopes of taking home a big score. After the final whistle they were satisfied with the score of 6-0 in their favor. This game was probably the high spot of the season for the second team. Although they were outclassed in size the boys showed real team work and ability to run and throw passes. Red Abington was probably the outstanding player cf the game. The last game of the season, and probably the hardest game to lose, was played November 18, with Nebraska City Reserves. The team seemed unusually weak due to several injuries to the backfield men. The City took home a score of 19-0. The following men played their last game in High School: Thornburg, D. Blount, Stivers, Palmer, Spurgin, (Captain). Others who played on the second team and will probably be first stringers next year were: Irvin, Longbrake, Whitlow, R. Wheeler, Ingersoll, H. Coulter, E. Coulter, B. Clark, J. Clark, Harpham, G. Armstrong, and Hutton. = 1931 = Page Eighty-Two o 4 A. H. S. Football Lettermen LANNING ANDREWS—Quarterback The quarterback position is one of the most difficult to All well, and it was well taken care of on the 1930 squad. The assignments are many and varied. Lanning blocked well and did all the passing as well as some punting. He carried the ball to relieve his backs and was exceptionally strong on defense and handling of punts. He has the ability to direct plays and that rarer ability to keep his team on their toes. He will be even better in 1931 and the team can justly count on him. CAPTAIN PERDIN HANDLEY—Fullback It is a difficult task to captain a team well. It is also difficult to appear brilliantly in nine consecutive games without injury or a letdown in mental poise. Captain Handley has done these things and has done them exceptionally well. He was without an equal as a ball carrier in this section, and he blocked and tackled as well as the best of them. He trained so rigidly, practiced so regularly apd played so well that his team-mates had but to follow him to be successful as a team. He had the knowledge, the ability, and the courage to lead his team well, and the season record is evidence of his results. LYLE BOHL—Left End Bohl was the big surprise of the season. Weighing only 140 and having never played a minute would seem quite a handicap, but he stepped into a first team position and never gave it up. His defensive play was perhaps best and he was brilliant in the Tecumseh and Jackson High games. His blocking, pass receiving, and covering of punts improved each week, and he will be hard to replace. ANDREWS HANDLEY BOHL Quarterback Fullback Left End - 1931 = Page Eighty-Three NO A. H. S. Football Lettermen CAPTAIN-ELECT LLOYD CLARK—Center Clark seemed the logical choice for 1931 captain, and the team showed much foresight in electing him. He has played only one season, but he played consistently well and had such a fine attitude toward the game and the team that success for him next fall seems assured. He played as well as any opposing center, and made not one bad pass in any game. That is an enviable record in itself. His physical and mental condition are always such that he will be an inspiration to his team. He is held in high esteem by students and teachers, as well as by his team-mates. DICK STIVERS—Right Half Dick has been out for football all during his high school days. Lack of weight has handicapped him, but this year he overcame it to a great extent by determination and knowing how to carry out his assignments. His blocking and tackling weren’t destructive, but he never missed his man. An arm injury bothered him somewhat, but he made a good showing as a wing-back and reserve quarterback. HERMAN JURGENSMEIER—Right End “Dutch” was shifted from full-back to end during spring practice last year and the change was fortunate for all concerned. His blocking improved as well as his defensive work and he kept on as one of the godd punters in the dtate. He caught passes well and carried the ball occasionally. As he acquires polish and utilizes his speed, he will develop into a truly great end. CLARK STIVERS JURGENSMEIER Center Quarterback Right End = 1931 = Page Eighty-Four A. H. S Football Lettermen BURLE THOMPSON—Left Tackle Material for the best tackle in the state—195 pounds of it. “Stub” turned in some brilliant performances last season. He has speed, sees plays quickly, and is a sure tackier, If the ideas of team spirit, and more determined blocking get across next fall he will be outstanding in this league, and in the entire state. CYRIL THORNBURG—Left End “Sorg” has reportad regularly during each of his four years in High School, and this year was used in several games. Although lacking in weight, experience with the second team has given him a keen knowledge of the game. In each contest he gave a good account of himself. He was strongest defensively, and was quite valuable in practice scrimmages against the first eleven. ELDRED INGERSOLL—Halfback When speed and driving power combine with technique, the result is another star. In ersoll spent last season learning football, both the wing-back and tailback positions. He has great possibilities as a ball carrier, having made some good showings last season. The ’31 season will see him ready to go. He trains hard and works hard. I THOMPSON Left Tackle .---M . -HSLi— . ._______i THORNBURG INGERSOLL Left End Right Hal] = 1931 = Page Eighty-Five A. H. S. Football Lettermen GORDON ARMSTRONG—Center Gordon plays well at either center or guard, and generally was used at guard when sent in. He passes the ball well, and blocks hard in either position. On defense he plays low, and is hard to move for a small man. His experience and determination will be of value next fall. DONALD BLOUNT—Right End “Don” made an appearance in several games, and each was a good one. A thorough believer in training and hard practice, he developed rapidly as the season passed. He played as hard and as clean as is possible. Donald and Thornburg made end runs difficult for the first team in scrimmage. He would do well with the ’31 team, but is graduating this spring, WILLIAM BRADNER—Right Half “Bill” was a first call reserve and saw considerable service during the season. As a wing-back he was most dependable, and, with more attention to blocking, he will be valuable to the ’31 team. He has two seasons remaining. His lack of weight is balanced by a fighting spirit. ARMSTRONG Center D. BLOUNT Right End BRADNER Left Hal) = 1931 - Page Eighty-Six n Football Lettermen JAMES WHEELER-Right Guard “Jimmy” was perhaps the best running guard in the conference. His blocking in the interference aided in some of those spectacular runs made by Handley and Jurgensmeier. He has played two seasons in the reserve backfield, and shows it. Next year, his experience will aid him in defensive work, and he will be one of the outstanding guards in the league. He has all the qualifications. PAUL BLOUNT—Right Tackle Paul carried around 210 pounds in such a manner that few people realize his size. He has played regularly for two seasons, and his next two will be brilliant ones. He learned a great deal during those seasons, and opposing ends will come to realize it next year. He has always been hard to move, and now he diagnoses plays quickly and is aggressive. Watch him in ’31. ERNEST BROD—Left Half “Ernie” was perhaps the least spectacular and one of the most effective of the entire squad. His blocking was so well timed and well done that few fans realize his effect on the attack. The Andrews-Brod passing combination accounted for a great many gains and “Ernie’s” tackling, as his blocking, was deadly. When the ’31 Bulldogs line up, this mild-mannered boy, who talked so little, and did so much, will be hard to replace. J. WHEELER P. BLOUNT BROD Right Guard Right Tackle Right Half = 19 31 = Page Eighty-Seven Football Lettermen GIFFORD ROBERTS—Right Half “Gilt” as a freshman, has done very well, and he should improve vastly as the seasons pass. He played wing-back and seldom carried the ball, but his blocking was good and he showed possibilities as a ball carrier. The scope of football is too big to grasp in a season, but the second, third, and fourth seasons will see Roberts as an important cog in the Bulldog machine. THURL ROGGE—Left Guard Rogge missed a season because of ineligibility, but came back this year to make up for it. He has plenty of weight, and lots of fight. In almost every game he turned in fine performances. He is not spectacular, but is consistently good. He works hard, and is strong for the team—a true Bulldog. DEWAYNE HARPHAM—Guard “Buddy” is another freshman who will develop into a great guard. He is small, but fast, and loves the hard contact of football. He leads the interference nicely, and blocks hard. On defense he is a demon for his size. If he develops as rapidly as he has started, he can’t be kept off the first eleven long. ROBERTS ROGGE HARP HAN Left Half Left Guard Left Guard 1 h J = 1931 = Page Eighty-Eight :n - A. H. S Auburn High School Spirit Hurrah! then for old A. H. S. Give three cheers for our dear Alma Mater We know that our school is the best In the grand old U. S. A. All honor and glory be hers, May the Scarlet and Green wave forever Then cheer, boys, for victory is near We’ll fight the fight; we’ll win the fight— For dear old Auburn! Practically all of the individuals who make up the student body of Auburn High School have come to realize that a school spirit actually exists. The larger group of these individuals are willing and anxious to have a part in creating and furthering that same spirit. Edgar Kimball and Ruth Andresen as cheer leaders for Auburn High School have done much to direct that spirit in a manner such that at all times Auburn teams felt that they had the students with them in each undertaking. There is no doubt that this student support has had a great share in the victories that have come to Auburn. Ruth Andresen is a Senior. Ruth has always worked for Auburn High School and deserves to wear the “A” she has earned as cheer leader. Edgar Kimball, a peppy Freshman, has done his work well. We look to him to direct Auburn High School Spirit next year. A. H. S. CHEER LEADERS Andresen Kimball Andresen Kimball = 1931 = Page Eighty-Nine A. H. S. Season’s Resume AUBURN—FALLS CITY A successful try-for-point was Falls City’s margin of victory over the Bulldogs in the opening game for both teams. Jurgensmeier went over first for Auburn in the first quarter and Andrews passed to Handley for the point but Falls City tied the score by a pass and a plunge for the point before the half ended. The visitors went ahead in the third quarter on a series of plunges and a gain made the point to lead 14-7. A pass from Handley to Jurgensmeier netted a touchdown early in the fourth quarter, but Andrews’ pass to Handley was knocked down and the game ended 14-13 for Falls City. AUBURN—SABETHA Sabetha stepped on the Bulldogs 19-6 but the game was well played by both teams. Auburn scored early in the game, Handley going through the line for the touchdown. Thompson’s kick for the point was wide. Sabetha’s passing combination then got busy and Stoner and MacDonald scored two touchdowns in the second quarter. The Bulldogs came back much improved after the half, but were unable to score. AUBURN—PAWNEE CITY It seemed that both teams were off their stride and the game was a dull affair. The Bulldogs threatened constantly but threats do not get scores and Pawnee led 6-0 at half time. The second half was as drab as the first except for the few minutes when Handley cut loose for several nice runs and a touchdown. Andrews’ kick was blocked and neither team scored again and the game ended 6-6. AUBURN—HUMBOLDT The Bulldogs ran rough shed ever a small and inexperienced Humboldt team. The final score was 51-0. The Bulldogs were swinging into their stride and both regulars and reserves looked good. The scoring started early and there was no stopping until the final gun. AUBURN—PLATTSMOUTH Plattsmouth’s big team threw a scare into the Bulldogs and only after a hard fought game were they subdued. Andrews fumbled a punt on his own five yard line early in the game, and Plattsmouth plunged over but missed the extra point. The Bulldogs came back with a touchdown in the second quarter and Andrews kicked the point. Auburn scored again in the second half, and Andrews again converted to make the final score 14-6. AUBURN—NEBRASKA CITY A large Armistice day crowd saw the Bulldogs humble Nebraska City by a score of 32-0. Captain Handley went over twice in the first three minutes and Nebraska City never had a chance. The reserves played the second quarter and gave a good account of themselves. The regulars ran three touchdowns during the third quarter and again gave way to the reserves who finished the game. Although the game was not close the crowd seemed pleased wJth the Bulldogs and few people left before the final gun. 1931 Page Ninety A. H. S. Season’s Resume AUBURN—TECUMSEH The Bulldogs staged a movie finish to score their first victory over a Tecumseh team. The score was 18-13 and the game was thrilling from start to finish. Hand-ley went over twice in the first four minutes but Andrews and Thompson missed the points. Tecumseh scored in the second and third quarters and were ahead 13-12 with two minutes to go. Handley intercepted a pass and the Bulldogs put on a concerted drive down the field and Jurgensmeier went over with only thirty seconds remaining to play. Every Bulldog earned a share in the victory—and what a victory it was! AUBURN—JACKSON Jackson was champion of the greater Lincoln league and came to Auburn highly advertised as a strong team. The Bulldogs were not keyed-up as in previous games, but made a gccd showing. The final score was 14-6 and the game was interesting. Bohl recovered a fumble and Handley plunged over for Auburn’s score. Jackson ran one touchdown and passed for the other. Captain Handley, Brod and Bohl played their last game, while Stivers, Thornburg, and Donald Blount of the first string reserves finished their careers.

He held the high respect of all his team-team-mates and responded by leading the team in individual scoring. He hit consistently from any angle and he always remained cool under fire, a trait essential to good basketball. “Ernie graduates, but leaves the memory of a strong leader of a successful team. CAPT.-ELECT LANNING ANDREWS The unanimous choice of his teammates is evidence of the regard for Andrews’ ability and leadership. He has played in every game and seemed always to be right. A brilliant dribbler and a sure shot, Lanning was probably at his best in district tournament play. The 1931 Bulldogs have every reason to look for success with such a leader.

H. 5 Basket Ball Lettermen ABINGTON—Fonoard ‘•Red” has the qualities which go to make brilliant basket ball players. He has speed, is a clever dribbler, and passer and can hit the basket. His lack of experience held him back this year, but next year will see him as a regular forward and the fans are expecting great things from him. JURGENSMEIER—Center Without any playing experience, “Dutch” stepped into the center position and held it all season. He was a good jumper, played well on defense and under the basket. Although not a high scorer this season, he has two years remaining, and with experience and with hard work on fundamentals he will be a mainstay on future teams. HANDLEY—Guard “Perd” was shifted from forward to guard early in the season and held down that position for the remainder of the season. His defensive play was strongest, but he passed well and feinted cleverly, making him valuable to the offense. He, too, played brilliantly in the last two games of the district tournament when nerve and fight were more important than other traits. He graduates after three seasons on the first string. ABINGTON JURGENSMEIER HANDLEY Forward Center Guard = 1931 = Page Ninety-Six Basket Ball Lettermen SMITH—Center Howard has played a great deal of basket ball and this year got into most of the games as guard or forward. He is a good defensive player and shoots well under the basket. He played exceptionally well in the Peru tournament and also in the state meet. He is a senior and has dene well as a Bulldog. BOHL—Forward Lyle stepped from last years reserves into a regular forward berth this year. He turned in some excellent games and played well all season. He never quite rid himself of failing to take his open shots but the fault was not a bad one and his floor and team work were valuable assets. He is a senior. THORNBURG—Forward Cyril got into several games and during the latter part of the season played good basketball. He got into action slowly but worked well with the team when he hit his stride. He played forward or center and worked har d at either position. He is a senior and has made letters in two sports.

Season’s Resume SYRACUSE The Bulldogs showed a woeful lack of experience in their opening game but no credit must be taken from the Syracuse boys. The game was rough and hard fought throughout and ended 18-17 for Syracuse. No criticism is due the Bulldogs for losing to such a successful team. NEBRASKA CITY Auburn completely outclassed Nebraska City by winning 18-9. Brod made eleven points and played brilliantly. Handley, playing his first game at guard, and Andrews were invincible on defense. The Bulldogs scored early and were never in danger. HUMBOLDT Humboldt swept the Bulldogs completely off their feet in the first half to lead 12-2. The entire Auburn team was pitiful to watch during the first half and although they came back strong the lead was too great to overcome. The final score was 21-17. Andrews scored four baskets during the last half. PLATTSMOUTH Plattsmouth forced the Bulldogs into an extra period but finally succumbed 21-18. The game was clean and close all the way. Brod scored six baskets, but every Bulldog looked good. Galloway looked best for Plattsmouth. PAWNEE CITY The Bulldogs scored a 22-16 win over Pawnee on the latter’s court. The game was rough and many easy chances were missed on either side. Abington made his first appearance and played a nice floor game. Jurgensmeier was high point man. = 1931 = Page Ninety-Eight Season’s Resume BEATRICE The Bulldogs upset the dope to win over Beatrice 18-15. Beatrice fouled frequently and Auburn led at half time 8-7. They hit their stride during the second half and scored four baskets and stalled in the closing minutes to win. Andrews and Handley played well defensively, while every Bulldog showed to advantage. PERU PREP The Bulldogs lost to Peru Prep 16-14 in an extra period. Rhodus came into the game late, scored a basket to tie the score and another to win. Brod and Rhodus made free throws in the extra period. The Bulldogs were right on free throws, but could not connect consistently from the field. FALLS CITY Falls City seemingly spent little effort in an attempt to win this game and the Bulldogs came through 18-8. Brod, Andrews and Handley led the scoring. Falls City used ten men but found no combination to work successfully. PAWNEE CITY Pawnee came back with a vengeance and the Bulldogs were extended to win 13-12. The game was quite rough and neither team showed much offense. Pawnee’s man-to-man defense seemed to bother the Auburn boys and only Brod’s basket in the last minute won the game. PERU PREP The Bulldogs showed a marked improvement over their previous meetings with Peru and won handily 25-21. Auburn lead 25-17 until the closing minutes when Rhodus made a basket and two free throws. Brod led the scoring and all the Bulldogs looked good. - 1931 - Page Ninety-Nine A. H. S. ■r 4 Seasons Resume NEBRASKA CITY The Bulldogs won their second game with Nebraska City 25-18. The game was one sided until the last quarter when the City boys made a string of baskets in quick succession. Brod and Andrews did most of the scoring for Auburn. FALLS CITY The Bulldogs found Falls City somewhat improved on their home floor and had difficulty in winning 19-18. The game was rough, but well played and the crowd was on their feet most of the time. The scoring was well distributed on both teams and each man gave a good account of himself. M-I-N'K Tournament PAPILLION The Bulldogs scored an easy victory over Papillion in the opening round of the tournament. The score was 28-14 and both regulars and reserves showed to advantage. DUNBAR The Bulldogs beat Dunbar 18-7 in the second round of the tournament. Asher was the big noise for Dunbar, but was not effective by himself. Each of the Bulldogs looked good, the reserves again coming in for their share of the credit. Abington scored first, but after the middle of the second quarter the Auburn boys faded and the score ran up against them. DUBOIS Dubois kept the Auburn boys busy for a full game and the game was one of the cleanest of the season. The final score was 17-14 and the Bulldogs earned the right to play in the finals. The scoring was again divided almost evenly and the future champions played good ball. FALLS CITY The Bulldogs, playing their second game of the evening, justified their being called Bulldogs. The final score was 20-19 and is a fair indication of the ability of the two teams. Although rough, the game was well played and would have interested the fans who were unable to attend. = A. H. S.= Page One Hundred State Tournament CRETE The Bulldogs were completely outclassed by Crete in the opening game of the state meet at Hastings and lost 33-6. GRAND ISLAND In the consolation. Grand Island won over the Bulldogs 33-20. Brod’s illness caused him to leave the game and the scoring punch was gone. However, the Bulldogs closed a successful season by winning thirteen of eighteen games. Some of the losses were not justified, but such is generally the case. All in all the eason was satisfactory to players and fans. Reserve Basketball The Auburn reserve basket ball team had a very successful season. They played the initial game of the season with Julian on their own floor. Although several of our players were out of practice Auburn defeated Julian. Score 22-8. The second game for the Auburn Bullpups was played at home with the Howe high school team. Auburn played a much faster game than they played against Julian, and again were the victors. Score 25-2. The next game the Bullpups played the Plattsmouth Reserve team. Although the Plattsmouth reserves were hard fighters a,nd never gave up until the final whistle, the Bullpups beat them. Score 10-6. Auburn reserves’ next game was played with the Peru High School reserves, who, according to the score board at the end of the game, had defeated Auburn reserves. Score 4-7. Having been defeated by Peru the Bullpups came back the next game and won a very hard fought, but thrilling game from Falls City. The locals proved to be the best players and were very glad to defeat these Falls City Tigers. Score 7-6. Auburn chose Howe for their opponents the sixth game. They again defeated Howe. Howe had a much better team than before, but the Auburn Reserves had gained much in basket ball knowledge. Score 18-4. Nebraska City Reserves came to Auburn for the next game on February 23, but met their Waterloo at the hands of the fast Auburn Bullpups. Score 10-3. The Peru seconds were the Bulldogs’ opponents for the next game at Peru. This was the first game any of the Auburn Reserves had played on a large floor and away from heme. They went on the floor with a determination “to beat.” Having suffered a defeat from Peru on their own floor they were more determined than ever to win and to the satisfaction of every Auburn student and rooter, they did win. Score 8-4. To close the season they had to loess to one of their strongest opponents— Falls City. Auburn showed up well enough on the floor, but for some reason they could not get started. Although we did lose, the last quarter of this game was one of the most exciting of the whole season. Auburn made 8 of their 11 points in the last few minutes of the last quarter. Score 11-20. Cyril Thornburg played center and forward. He playad a very good game of basket ball for Auburn High. He made several of the points that helped the Auburn Bullpups win their many victories. “Sorg” also played on the first team and was the only one of the second string to go to Hastings. Francis Spurgin, guard. “Sass” will be remembered not only for his good sportsmanship and guarding, but also for his ability to keep up the pep for the Bullpups when they were discouraged. Dick Stivers, guard. Dick was one of the regular guards for the Bullpups. Though he did net make many points, he was a neat guard. James Wheeler, forward. “Jim” was a regular forward and next to high point man on the second team. He not only had an eye for the basket but played a good floor game. He also played seme with the first team. Irvin Maag, Jr., forward. Irvin has a real record. He was high point man in every second team game except one. He was a regular on the second team and often suited up for the first team games. He is expected to make the first five next year. Ralph Umland, guard. Ralph was surely the best guard on the second team. He was a good, hard fighter. He also had an eye for the basket. He made many points for the Auburn Reserves. Let’s watch Ralph next year. Wayne Ruddy, center and forward. Wayne developed into a good basket ball player at the end of the season. His best game was probably the Falls City-Auburn game. James Perdue, guard and center. Jim is a Sophomore who will develop into a very good player. He was our regular center and knows the game well. William Bradner, forward. Bill can play a very good game of basket ball. He is always out for practice and fighting for the Bullpups. His best game of the season was the Nebraska City-Auburn game. — 1931 — Page One Hundred One A. H.

He is concentrating on the pole vault and half mile run and is undefeated in either event. He also high jumps, broad jumps, throws the javelin and high hurdles and does well in each of them. Next year will find him one of the leading track athletes in Nebraska. — 1931 — Page One Hundred Three Tecumseh Meet Stcck in the Auburn High School track team took a sudden rise when the “Scarlet and Green” defeated Tecumseh in their annual dual meet on April 10.

The meet was very lopsided so far as the scores were concerned, but there were some very close events. Auburn amassed a total of 71 points to Tecumseh’s 30, Tecumseh being the closest competitor. Probably the best race of the afternoon was the race between Wheeler of Auburn and Mathis of Tecumseh, running in the first heat of the 220 high hurdles. The two ran almost neck and neck throughout the entire straight stretch, with Wheeler winning by mere inches. Jurgensmeier was high scorer with four firsts, one fourth, and tie for second, making 23 3-4 points. There were several records broken. Jurgensmeier broke two—in the hundred yard dash and the two-twenty yard dash. He also ran on the relay team which broke the record for the 880 relays. Andrews broke the half-mile record, running it in 2:14.3. He probably could have made it in better time had he been pushed, but he led the field by nearly twenty yards. Peek of Tecumseh also broke the record in the discus, tossing it 102 feet, 6 2 inches.

THE SENIOR’S IDEA OF GRAMMAR If you see a young girl walking down the street she is Feminine. If she is Singular you become Nominative and walk across to her, thus changing the Verb, and the result is Dative. If she is not Objective you become Plural. Then you walk home with her. Her mother is probably Accusative and you immediately become Imperative. You go into the parlor and sitt down. Her little brother is an Indefinite Article. Soon you talk of the Future and quickly she changes to the Object. You kiss her and she becomes Subjective. Her father suddenly becomes Present, things become Tense and as quickly as possible, you become the Past Participle. C—NEW MODE OF SPEECH POPULAR It is only too popular now to say everything in a contradictory manner—For example, if you think it is going to rain it is now very correct to say, “It sure ain’t gonna rain!” (For authority see ‘Nubby” and “Trace.”) II— FOREIGN LANGUAGES Lesson I —an-Ca ----- oo-ya alk-ta ----- ig-pa --- atin-La- Lesson II Senor—Man Senorita—Woman.

(Beware—bald headed men). This inventor says all the “shieks” will be wearing them next year. 2. Some of the manual training boys, while experimenting have discovered a new patent process of making striped paint. (This discovery is very good for painting barber poles and the like). They expect to put this paint on the market early next fall, and to come forth with a dazzling new line of colorful stripes. — 1931 — Page One Hundred Thirteen A. H. S. V—ATHLETICS Tecumseh—13 Auburn—18 Invert Accompanying the diagram and the story is told. AS READ ON A. H. S. BULLETIN BOARDS Tecumseh was a great crief and ruled all the tribes about him. Tecumseh’s men were strong and courageous! It seemed that Tecumseh’s tribe would never be conquered. Finally Tecumseh suffered a crushing defeat and was killed in a fierce battle. A Bulldog can whip an Indian any old time—if the Bulldog fights. OLD MAN TRACO SAYS: Nov. 14—When better playing is done. Auburn boys will do it. Nov. 17—If them boys have that backin’ like they did on Armistice, they will beat old Tecumseh. Nov. 18—I told them boys that they gotter beat that team on the 21. Nov. 19—You just watch and see if them Bulldogs don’t tear up Tecumseh. Nov. 20—Those boys from Tecumseh are going to get took. Nov. 21—Now it is up to the student body to give good yells to help them fellers. THE BULLDOG WINS BECAUSE HE HANGS ON!

People who live in glass houses should pull down the curtains. As ye sow, so shall ye rip. A hair in the head is worth two in the brush. When there’s a will, there’s a lawsuit. Uneasy rests the tooth that wears a crown. None but the brave got to a fair. It’s a long lane that has no garage. A stitch at nine may prevent a rip at ten. — 1931 — Page One Hundred Sixteen A. H. S LAUGH WITH US Not At Us When tourists drive through Columbus on their way to Kansas City, the following conversations are typical: Cadillac drives up, chauffeur says— “Tow far is it to Kansas City?” “One hundred and forty miles,” is the reply. “Give me twenty gallons of gas and a gallon of oil.” Buick—“How far is it to Kansas City?” “One hundred and forty miles.” “Give me ten gallons of gas and one-half gallon of oil.” Ford—“How far is it to Kansas City?” “One hundred and forty miles.” “Give me two quarts of water and a bottle of 3-in-l oil and hold this son-of-a-gun until I get in.” Austin—“How far is it to Kansas City?” “One hundred and forty miles.” “Give me an aspirin tablet and a bottle of pop.” “Mother, was your name Pullman before you were married?” “No, dear; why do you ask?” “Well, I just wondered. I see that name on a lot of our towels.” “What makes you think Bob won’t be out of the hospital for a long time?” “Did you see his doctor?” “No, I saw his nurse.” Author—“This is the plot of my story. A midnight scene. Two burglars creep steathily toward the house. They climb a wall and force open a window and enter the room, the clock strikes one.—” Sweet Thing (breathlessly)—“Which one?” Dentist—“And what is your business?” Patient—“Oh, I’m a comic artist on a newspaper.” Dentist—“Then I’ll try to live up to my profession as you fellows draw me.” “Billie,” said the man’s wife, who was giving a children’s party, “won’t you eat some more cakes?” “I can’t; I’m full!” sighed Billie Brown. “Well, then, put some in your pock-sts.” “I can’t. They’re full, too!” Dentists are never perfect. They are either practicing or drilling. “Well, Pat, what are ye doin’? Sweepin’ out the shop?” Pat inspected the employer disgustedly. “No, sir; Oi’m sweepin’ out the dirt, and lavin’ the shop.” “Hike, did ye put out the cat, before ye crept into bed” “Sure I did.” “I don’t belave it!” “Well, if yez think I’m a liar, g’wan an’ put her out yerself!” “Is your wife a club woman, Gilli-gan?” “Club woman? Not she. She favors a flatiron.” Miss McCormick—“Wayne, I want you to write a 3-page theme, telling me why you came into my English class.” The next day Wayne handed in the following: “Dear teacher, I will give you ten dollars if you tell me why.” Miss Oliver—“Parse the word kiss.” Marg. McKnight—“This word is a noun, but is usually used as a conjunction. It is never declined, and more common than proper. It is not very singular, in that it is usually used in the plural. It agrees with me.” Bill N.—“Dad, you are a lucky man.” Bill’s father—“How is that?” Bill—“You won’t have to buy me any school books this year. I have been left in the same class.” Willis S.—“And you were having words with your girl!” Irvin M.—“Boy! Not with her, from her.” Gordon A.—“What would you think if you found five dollars in your pocket.” George S.—“I would think that I had someone else’s pants on.” “I’ve got a blind date for tonight,” bragged Sas. “Well, I guess she’d have to be,” commented James Dustin. Miss Oliver (in English 10)—“What is a myth.” Sam Nixon— A female moth.” — 1931 — Page One Hundred Seventeen A. H. S. Alice F.—“I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for you.” Van T.—“Then let’s get married.” Alice F.—“I said a soft spot in my heart, not in my head.” Aurora R.—“Don’t you think sheep are the most stupid creatures living?” Tom C.—“Yes, my lamb.” A Scotchman was taking a friend through a new house he had built. “But,” exclaimed the visitor, “I notice that you’se not pasted the paper on the walls, but nailed it. What is that for?” “Oh, aye,” responded the Scotchman. “You see, we may not be living here always.” Tho they had never met B4 What cause had she 2 care? She loved him lOderly, because He was a 1,000,000 aire. “What are you crying for, my lad?” Bernard C.—“Cause father’s invented a new soap substitute and every time a customer comes in I get washed as an advertisement.” Uncle—“If you are good Mark, I’ll give you this bright, new penny. Mark—“Haven’t you a dirty, old nickel instead?” Book Agent—“This book will do half your work for you.” Van T.—“Good. I’ll take two.” 3o Ahead and Prove It— A mule has 2 legs on B hind And 2 he has B 4; U stand B hind B 4 U And What the 2 B hind B 4. Traffic Cop—“I’m sorry, miss, but I’ve got to tag your car. You know what that means?” Jane R.—“Certainly. Now I chase someone else and tag him, and then he’s it.” “When Noah sailed the well-known blue He had troubles as well as you; For days and days he drove the ark Before he found a place to park.” “There’s one thing about traveling by airplane,” says Maxine Smith, “the noise of the motor drowns out any comment from the back seat.” Mrs. Newlywed—“Oh, you did splendidly with the wall papering darling, but what are all the bumps?” Mr. Newlywed—“Good heavens! I forgot to take down the pictures.” Minister—“And what parable do you like best, my son?” Clarence T.—“The one about the multitude that loafs and fishes.” Paul Blount says they do funny things in China. Nothing is like it ought to be. For instance, he saw an advertisement for duck pants and declared he never before heard of a duck wearing pants. Schoolboy’s definition of a hypocrite —a kid that comes to school wid a smile on his face. “Does a dentist beat his wife?” “No, he crowns her.” Mrs. Bayboy—“Before we go to the hall, I want you to remember that it’s the custom to dance the first dance with your wife.” Gayboy— Well, then wind the phonograph. We’ll dance it right here and get it over with.” “How is Bill getting along in business?” “Wonderfully; but he’s terribly discouraged.” “How’s that.” “Well, they’re so busy filling and shipping orders, they haven’t any time to hold a conference.” Indignant Parent (6 A. M.)—“Young man, what do you mean by bringing my daughter in at this hour?” Flaming Youth—“Well, I gotta be at work by 7.” Then there’s the one about the Scotchman who brought his wife a set of paper plates and an eraser. In affairs of the heart, supersalesmanship is called charm. Committee—A machine which takes a week to do what one good man can do in an hour. Dick S. and Bill B. were hunting. Bill saw a duck far overhead, gave it both barrels, and to his delight saw the bird wheel over, and fall to the ground like a piano slipping from its cables at the tenth story of a building. “Ye wasted that powder, Bill,” said Dick pityingly. “I got the boird, didn’t I?” “Yes, but the fall would a-kilt him.” The Irish beggar shambled over, holding out his hand. “Please give a poor old blind man a dime, sor.” “But you can see out of one eye.” “Thin make it a nickel.” — 1931 — Page One Hundred Eighteen TO THE 1931 GRADUATING CLASS The “1931” Class have made a name for themselves, and we are glad to be added to the list of those who wish them well, and as they go out on their separate and different ways we hope the same spirit will continue as a part of their individual lives—and each one will continue that upward climb to lives of service. You have caught the spirit of service in your four years of work in the High School, as the records so well indicate—and we are proud of your accomplishments and our congratulations seem little beside what you have done, but we sincerely hope that each one of you grads will continue along in life just as you have started here in the old A.
