BEYOND THE CAPTURING AND COVETING OF HONORS AXI) PRIZES. FOR WHICH THEY ARE TO BE CONGRATU LATED. COM ES THE REALIZATION THAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE SATISFACTORILY GRADUATED TO A SPHERE IN MODERN LIFE WHICH REQUIRES CO-OPERATION. LEADERSHIP. AND MENTAL EAGERNESS. THE PLAQUES GROW RUSTY. THE LOVING CUPS ARE LOST. THE PENNANTS ARE GRADUALLY REPLACED BY NEWER AND FRESHER ONES: BUT THE EARLY MASTERY OF THE CONCEPTS OF GOOD CITIZENSHIP IS THE ACCOMPLISHMENT WHICH WILL NEVER RUST — THE ACHIEVEMENT WHICH.

Efforts to grow grass have besen unsuccessful so far, but with better growing seasons we should have a sod playing field soon. The quarter mile cinder track is well constructed and is a full seven lanes wide throughout its length. It provides ample room for the biggest of meets. The concrete bleachers seat almost five hundred and provide an excellent view of the field. One section of the stadium is made for the use of the band. The rest rooms are conveniently located. The shrubs used in the landscaping are growing well and when the field and banks are covered with green the entire layout will present a most pleasing appearance. The field was dedicated with appropriate ceremony on October 2, 1936 preceding the Auburn-Sabetha game. —RALPH HIGGINS. Le i Armstrong. Webster (Assistn f U Coach). Little. B. M agor.

According to its constitution the purpose of this club is to “fix ideals of good sportsmanship and to create a friendly interest in inter-school contests. The members of this club shall assume the responsibility of extending courtesies to the opposing team and other visitors. The club shall lead in new yells and' songs, teaching them to the student body in order to maintain a good cheering section that will support the team to the end of the game. The club shall strive for the greatest possible cooperation with the cheer leaders, accepting their directions in regard to time of cheering and suitable yells and songs.’ Girls? Basket Ball Although an unorganized activity, basket ball proved to be an attraction to many girls. Miss Gates acted as coach for the squad of over twenty girls. From these, two color teams were organized with Mary Ann Gibbons and Elizabeth Nixon as captains. The teams made marked progress during the series of practices. One game was played as a preliminary to the Auburn-Pawnee City game on February 12.

Two plays, “His First Girl” and “Kidnapping Betty,” were presented by talent from the groups during the year. Twenty-five members took part in a declamatory contest. In the dramatic section of that contest first place was awarded to Faye Ellen Strole, second place to Irene Whitnack, and third place to Donald Kuenning. In the humorous division Forrest Keister placed first, Margery Simpson placed second, and George Waltz placed third. t vn 3UJ to ___� - — V- • i 3i n Senior Dramatics MEMBERS RUTH ANDERSON VIRGINIA CARSON CAROL ROSE COLERICK DORIS CURTIS DORIS DOVEL RICHARD GALLOWAY MARY ANN GIBBONS MARY ALICE HACKER FELISTA HANDLBY LESTER HANDLEY CARLENE HOHENSEE Tod hubbell ANSELM JOHNSON JEWELL KRUEGER JOHN LAWRENCE THEO.NELSON MARY ALICE PALMER ROBERT POEHLER GWENDOLYN REED BETTY REIMERS PAUL RHODES AUGUSTA STOCKER MISS HUBBERT.

Membership to the National organization is open to students qualified by major or minor roles in plays, declamatory contest work, debating, or by stage designing. Under the sponsorship of Miss Hubbert, the organization has followed, during the past year, a program of stage and character make-up demonstrations. A special Christmas project was the staging of the modern religious mystery play, “Fiat Lux’’ at a Peru College convocation program. The cast included: Mervin Keedy, Matthew Wiencke, James Lee Armstrong, and Jeanne Humphrey. National Thespians receive the bi-monthly publication, The National Thespian, a magazine devoted to the modern theatre. Keedy. Parker. Blake. Anderson. Oabus Miss Hubbert. M. Oestmann. Schmidt. A.

Carl Koontz, a senior, has been a member of the debate squad for two years. Mr. A. J. Nebelsick, principal of the high school, coached Auburn High School’s successful debate team this season and in several previous seasons. The question for debate this year was: “Resolved: That all electric utilities should be governmentally owned and operated.” 1 31 1 Debate Team James Lee Armstrong, Bert Smith and Paul Rhodes are the members of the 1037 debate team of Auburn High School and have won a state-wide respect for their ability as debaters.

In the four years of his high school debate activity he has taken part in seventy-two interscholastic debates. During this school year he has had a part in thirty-five debates, winning seventeen, losing ten and participating in eight nondecision events. James Lee attended the University of Denver last summer on a four-week scholarship issued to outstanding debaters. This year he has been recognized as one of the best debaters in the state. Bert Smith, a junior with splendid ability, has one more year to enter debate work. In the 1937 debate season Bert took part in thirty-two debates of which he won eighteen, lost nine and eight were non-decision.
