Hilton Hayes, a deep-dyed villain, schemed to marry sweet, innocent, bare-footed Nell Perkins just to “get his hands on that invention’ which Granny Perkins planned to give Little Nell when she was married. In the meantime the manly hero. Jack Logan, visited Little Nell and very humbly proposed to her. When Nell spurned Hilton’s intentions, he threatened “to broadcast the fact before all Nemaha County” that she was just a foundling left outside the Perkins barn nigh onto twenty years ago. Too honest to marry Jack or stay in the mountains and have the finger of shame pointed at her. Little Nell said good-bye to all the dear, familiar objects and prepared to roam the cold, cruel world, seeking a refuge for her broken heart. As she was about to leave, Burkett Carlton, the wealthy mill-owner, came to arrest the villain for swindling funds from the mill. He also discovered by a locket around Nell’s neck that she was his granddaughter, kidnapped when a baby. So Nell had a name after all; she wasn’t “just a piece of flotsam an’ jetsam’-! She also had Jack Logan, who is poor but honest. - The cast of characters in this two-act meller-draymer were as follows: Nell Perkins______________Barbara Gillispie Granny Perkins____________JoAnn Schneider Laura (Lolly) Perkins_________Gail Gilliland Vera Carleton___________________________Mary Gibson Burkett Carleton__________________Jim Casey Hilton Hays__________________Tom Humphrey Jack Logan______________________________Glen Pumel Between acts the audience was entertained by some gay 90’s musical numbers. The first number was “The Bicycle Built for Two” with John Alden singing the proposal to Deborah Dunn. The next was a solo, “I Can’t Do A Thing With My Hair Since It's Washed!” by our sultry song-bird, Bernice Hummel. A flora-dora sextette — Bernice Hummel, Catherine Cowell, Deborah Dunn, Beverly Mark-land, Vernell Grube, and Evelyn Zorn — waltzed onto the stage with a tra-la-la-boom-de-ay. and sang two numbers, “Waltz Me Around Again, Willie,” and “When You and I Were Young Maggie Blues.” A boys’ quartette composed of Harvey Bergmann, Bob Atkins, Wayne Bath, and John Alden, complete with “flashy-’ bow ties and derby hats, sang “You Tell Me Your Dream, I’ll Tell You Mine.” and “Clementine.” ‘ i- I Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom Juniors and Seniors had a mighty good time Friday night, April 30, when they all gathered ’round the ol’ chuck wagon of the A. H. S. Ranch. For the Seniors it was the “Last Round-up’’ on A. H. S. Ranch, which was the theme of the annual Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, sponsored by the Juniors in honor of the Seniors. The walls of the gymnasium were decorated with bucking broncos, dude ranchers, long-horn cattle and cacti. Saddles and bridles thrown over the corrals, and campfires at various intervals all helped in creating an atmosphere of ranch life. Chow, which consisted of porker, baked spuds, ranch style beans, tumbling-weeds and other western foods, was served ’round the campfires with sophomore cowgirls from the A. H. S. Ranch waiting on tables and cowboys serving as bus boys. Later in the evening they entertained the group with some good ol' country style square dancin’. Besides this the program consisted of speeches, all appropriate to ranch life, given by Wayne Benson. Wayne Bath, Shirley Hinds, Bernice Hummel and Mr. TenHulzen. Tommy Wolfe acted a« foreman. Paul Parker and Jim McCoy played a two-piano number and “Rangers ’Round the Campfire,” a group of ten juniors, sang two numbers. Following the banquet the tables were cleared away and the rest of the evening was spent in dancing to various famous orchestras by means of records and a movie projector. This method of entertainment is new to Auburn, and together with favor dances, progressives and boys’ and girls’ choices, provided a splendid evening of dancing enjoyment until the last dance at 11:30. Sneak Day The seniors, 43 strong, crawled out of bed at 6:30 Wednesday. April 29, to go on the long awaited Sneak Day. There were nine cars in the oaravan that took the class of ’43 to Topeka, Kansas, for a wonderful day of sight-seeing. After arriving in Topeka with only one mishap, a blowout on Bergmann’s car, everyone scattered in all directions to eat breakfast. The most famous eating place for the boys seemed to be Murphy's, but I don’t know why. Our first stop on the tour of Topeka was a visit to the Kansas State Capitol Building. The more industrious and healthy kids climbed 21 flights of rickety iron steps to the top of the capitol for a birds-eye view of this fair city. Our next stop was an interesting torn- through the gigantic Capper’s Publications. Everyone took time out for lunch and met again at 2:00 to go to the Topeka High School. “Jimmy” conducted our trip through this wonderful school which has an enrollment of 2,000. We saw the cafeteria, auditorium, music rooms, and library. The highlight of the day’s tour was a visit to Gage Park. No one in the senior class will ever forget the two crows who seemed to have broken records for vocal cords — all they could say was “What!” After going through the monkey house everyone had free time until six when we went to the roof-garden of the Hotel Kansan for a banquet. The evening was spent bowling, going to the show, and a few brave people even went roller-skating. At 9:30 we were all ready to start home after a day that will never be forgotten. Mr. Maclay, our sponsor, won’t forget it, either. He left his wife down in Topeka, waiting on a street corner. But everyone was home safely by 1:30. A. H. S.

H. S. Joe Engles was elected president with Wylene Owens and Margie Beckman to assist him. With the help of Miss Lutz everyone got off to a fine start. Since there were a lot of new people in the class, they all went on a hay-rack ride to get acquainted. In the spring another party was given, this time a scavenger hunt. The kids divided in groups and looked for such things as nylon stockings and clothes pins. When the students returned to begin the tenth grade, they again elected their officers — Wayne White, president; Neal Thomas, vice-president; and Shirley Hinds, secretary and treasurer; with Miss Lutz as the sponsor. The industrious sophomores had two parties again this year; a party with “Winkem-Blinkim” as the main entertainment; and a dance in the spring to bid farewell to their sophomore year. This year there are 55 juniors around the school. They began the year by choosing officers; Tom Wolfe, president; Beverly Grant, vice-president; and Betty Flack, secretary and treasurer. The first big doings of the year was a picnic supper served out on the practice field. Then everyone went inside and danced. Then interest turned to the class play, “Stranger in the Night.” which was a real success. In the spring the juniors decided to go on a roller-skating party. One cold snowy night they started out-------something tells me we should drop the subject. Anyway, those that went had a good time. The first few days in March the juniors began having several mysterious class meetings and it seemed that the juniors loved school so much they even came up in the evenings. But the seniors soon found that they were preparing for one “Last Roundup.” Every junior worked very hard to make a success of their Banquet and Prom. Miss Pfister, their sponsor, certainly didn’t just sit around and watch, either! In a few weeks the juniors will be promoted and returned next fall as seniors. We think they will make a swell senior class. Junior Class Play “Stranger in the Night” A series of mysterious happenings in a small bookshop in New York was the setting for the Junior Class Play, “Stranger in the Night,-’ presented under the direction of Mr. Sidney Johnson on Tuesday, November 25. The cast of this comedy-mystery was as follows: Sylvia Lee_________________________Shirley Hinds Mable Crane______________Marjorie Beckman Eddie Beach___________________Wayne Benson Grant Terry____________________Neal Thomas Nona Pollard_____________Joanne Alexander Cliff Newkird_________________________John Rohrs J. B. Rutledge_______________________Wayne White Sam Fisk______________________________Bill Birdsley Marcella Bender_______________________Ruth Damon Sandra King___________________________Erma Rader Velda Stevens____________Margaret Ritchie The name of the would-be-murderer and his intended victim kept the audience in great suspense until the end of the play. True to form, the criminal was punished, the hero got the girl, and all “lived happily ever after.” wt 'v m s now Fcl 71.

H. S. life as freshmen. With Joan Peek, president; Frank Wells, vice-president; George Cole, secretary and treasurer; and Miss McGrew, sponsor, they got on to a very good start. A Halloween party in the activities room started the year of! right. Everyone got crooked necks trying to bite into apples suspended from the ceiling. After a successful year in the ninth grade the freshmen became sophomores. Frank Wells, Marvin Caspers, and Wayne Moody won offices in the class elections. Miss Rist, a new teacher, took the job of sponsor. Again this year a Halloween party was held. A small-scale scavenger hunt was staged in the school building. Chalk, pins, string and pennies topped the list of things to find. In the early spring, following the example of their upperclassmen, the sophomores went roller-skating at Nebraska City. They say nobody fell more than twelve times! The sophomores have completed two years of high school. We wish them lots of luck in the two yet to come. Ninth Grade Class History In the fall of ’45 the class of '51 was first organized with Lee Norris, president; Lynn Barrett, vice-president; and Gene Wells, secretary and treasurer. Miss Wiese was chosen to guide these newcomers through their first year at A. H. S. Their first party was a dance in honor of St. Valentine. They passed with flying colors into their second year of junior high. They elected the following officers: Maxine Becker, president; Lee Norris, vice-president; and Gene Wells, secretary and treasurer. Miss Wiese again acted as sponsor. This year a dance was again chosen as the main entertainment for the year. They invited the seventh grade and everybody had a swell time. Last fall they returned to enjoy their last year in junior high. There were many new faces belonging to the country kids who had come to A. H. S. to complete their schooling. The ninth grade, the largest class in school with 61 enrolled, chose the following officers: Nancy Ross, president; Rosalee Gebers, vice-president; and Lee Norris, secretary and treasurer. I I £ With Mrs. Moore as sponsor they had two parties. The first was a hobo Halloween party. Of course everyone dressed as hobos and played all sorts of unique games. Dancing furnished entertainment for the second party held on April Fool’s Day. Some of the boys weren’t content with just dancing, however, and got right down on the floor and boyed. More fun, but rather rough. Next year these students will return to school to begin their high school days. We hope they will be as successful as the last three in junior high have been. I Off leers 8“ GRADE Eighth Grade Class History In the fall of ’46, 52 boys and girls entered the portals of AHS for the first time. They were bewildered at first but soon knew the school from A to Z. They chose the following officers: Larry Hogen-miller, president; Paul Bunge, vice-president; and Bernice Jensen, secretary and treasurer. Mrs. Steele was their sponsor. For their first party in junior high they had a combined dance with the eighth grade. Last fall they returned as experienced eighth graders. Larry Hogenmiller and Paul Bunge must be good officers because they were again chosen as president and vice-president; Barbara Falk was chosen as secretary and treasurer. Miss King took the place of Mrs. Steele as sponsor. The eighth grade had a big party to celebrate Halloween last fall. To make things even better, it was a costume party and a first and second prize were yiven. Barbara Kinton, dressed as a clown, won first prize. A ghost, in the person of Lannon Grossoehme, won second prize. Seventh Grade Class History In the fall of 1947, 55 eager-beavers started in A. H. S. as seventh graders. The unique feature of the seventh grade election last fall was the fact that all officers were boys. They were Jimmy Humphrey, president; James Meyer, vice-president; and Dennis Schuler, secretary and treasurer. The main event for the seventh grade this year was a Christmas party. These energetic little seventh graders played all sorts of games, from three deep to red and blue. But the best part of the evening was the exchange of Christmas presents. Miss Wiese was chosen to guide these new students along the road of high school life which they began so successfully. 7 GRADE w wvm.!R? rn'■!!KWwgaW W '•'-'w wV,' ’.V vrwn'A' w tvi?j w wa ’A1 W� j v? A' ifc � iiS iff i?i i?i rA iSL BA Sports Football The Bulldogs’ home football games were highlighted this year by the installation of some of the finest lights in Nebraska. The addition of the lights has increased interest in football at old A. H. S. for patrons and members of the student body. During the season the Auburn High gridders won four, tied one, and lost five games. In Southeast Conference play Auburn won one, tied one, and lost three. WYMORE September 12, A. H. S. opened their season under the new lights on their home field. Wymore got off to an early start with two T. D.’s and an extra point making it 13-0. Sparked by Jack Haith s running and George Cole’s passes Auburn came back on a 55 yard march to make it 13-6 but Auburn couldn’t get that needed T. D. to even the score. The game ended 13-6. PLATTSMOUTH Friday the 19th Auburn ventured to Plattsmouth. Plattsmouth opened the scoring with a recovered fumble in the end zone. Auburn couldn’t seem to get in stride till the second half. At half time Auburn trailed 19-0. The second half, however, was a new game with A. H. S. moving 60 yards in 5 plays for the first tally by Jack Haith. George Cole carried the pigskin across twice in the fourth quarter and threw Roger Wilhelms both extra point passes. Plattsmouth, however, was not to be denied. They drove across for two tallies to win 32-20. ROCKPORT Auburn’s first win came at the expense of Rockport’s gridders, 12-6. Auburn had one touchdown called back for being offside. A long march by the Blue Jays was stopped by a recovered fumble by Humphrey. Standouts in the game were Humphrey and Jack Haith, who was put back at his old position at end. TARKIO October 3rd the Red and Green journeyed to Tarkio for their second win. The game see-sawed during the first quarter until early in the second quarter the Bulldogs drove across for the first tally. Auburn then tallied once in each of the remaining quarters with Tarkio tallying once in the last 15 minutes. Auburn’s outstanding players for the game were Thomas, Pumel Jack Haith, and Cole. NEBRASKA CITY Under the eyes of a record crowd of 2100 people the Auburn Bulldogs lost a heartbreaker to a heavier Nebraska City team. Nebraska City expected little resistance from the A. H. S. gridders. The Pioneers score came in the second quarter when Thiesfield from Nebraska City drove across from the 22. The extra point was made on a pass from Joiner to Blevin. Auburn threatened within the 10 yard marker several times, but couldn’t push it past the last few yards. Auburn’s longest run was made by Clark from the 15 to the midfield stripe before he was brought down. Williams played a whale of a game in the line with Carl Haith playing a good game in the backfield.

It was a tight game all the way with both teams playing good defensive but not as good offensive ball. Neither team could push the ball across the double stripe for the winning counter, thus the game ended 0-0. FALLS CITY The Southeast champs set Auburn down with a 27-7 defeat on the Falls City field. Rain hampered both teams’ offense. Conn of the Tigers played the most outstanding game for the victors, with Mel Wren running strong for A. H. S. TECUMSEH The last conference game for A. H. S. for the '47 football season was the Tecumseh Indians. The first score came on an end around by Jack Haith in the second quarter, making it 6-0 in favor of the Bulldogs. In a few minutes Tecumseh scored on a pass from Webb to Stinson. Tecumseh made the extra point, making it 7-6 for the Indians at intermission. The score remained 7-6 when, with but a few minutes remaining, Jack Haith caught a 35 yard pass for the winning T. D. Auburn won 12-7. Steve Clark and Tom Humphrey both played a good game. HOLY NAME Auburn lost their last home game to a superior Holy Name eleven by the lop-sided score of 41-0. The running of Bob Decker and passing of Franny McGill, along with the clockwork blocking and tackling of the Holy Name line, were too much for the A. H. S. squad. Steve Clark played the most outstanding game of his ’47 season. Many times he came up from the backfield to make the tackles and held down the quarterback position very well on the offense. HUMBOLDT The last football game for 11 seniors was played at Humboldt. Tuesday, November 18. The A. H. S. gridders were slow to start their offensive play. Humboldt had a slight edge the first quarter, but after the second quarter started it was a different story. Auburn scored early in the second quarter and also in the third and fourth quarters. A. H. S. came out on the long end. 20-0. Outstanding players for Auburn were Weisbrook, Carl Haith, and Tom Humphrey. - FOOTBALL SCORES Auburn 6 Wymore 13 Auburn 20 Plattsmouth 32 Auburn 12 Rockport 6 Auburn 19 - . .. .Tarkio 6 Auburn 0 Nebraska City 7 Auburn 0 Pawnee City 0 Auburn 7 Falls City 27 Auburn 12 .. .

Auburn got fourth in the Southeast Conference meet with 10 points. A third in the half mile by Wells; a third in the 440 by Jack Haith; a second in the pole vault by Wren; and a second in the high hurdles by Wilhelms. Auburn competed in five meets besides the district. A dual with Rockport; a triangular with Pawnee and Tecumseh; the Southeast Conference Meet; Nebraska City Invitational and the Peru Relays. TRACK TEAM UP RND OVER STAF e us mess t ](jrs Pep Club The Pep Club was organized last September with Barbara Gillispie. president; Evelyn Zorn, vice-president; and Betty Flack, secretary and treasurer. Shirley Hinds, Joan Janousek, and Joan Peek were chosen by the entire student body to be cheerleaders for the ’47 and ’48 football and basketball season. “Winter Wonderland” was the theme of the Pigskin Prom held Friday, November 21. The study hall was decorated with murals of winter scenes — boys and girls sled-riding, snowballing, and ice-skating. The weatherman co-operated by providing the first snowfall of the winter that night. During intermission Deborah Dunn, the football sweetheart broke through a large glittering snowball at the end of the room. The football co-captains, Jack Haith and Tom Humphrey, presented a lovely gold expansion bracelet to the sweetheart. On March 4 the Barkerettes supported the American Red Cross by soliciting funds for the Annual Red Cross Drive. In spite of a blinding snowstorm the girls made a house-to-house campaign and ccllec.ed contributions from Auburn citizens. In return for helping with the drive the girls were guests of the local Red Cross Chapter at a lunch at Sanders’ Lunchroom. Nancy Ross, Joan Reimers, and Rosalee Gebers were selected by the students to represent the Junior High basketball team. After the Tecumseh game, January 30, the Pep Club sponsored an informal dance for both the Auburn and Tecumseh High School students. A Valentine Dance was held after the Nebraska City game, Friday, February 13. Shirley Hinds and Richard Stewart were presented as the Valentine Sweethearts. The Barkerettes chose “The Music Shop” as the theme for the third annual Hoopster Hop held in the auditorium, Friday, March 17. The auditorium was converted into a true musical dreamland with records, musical notes, and sheet music along the walls. Anyone who examined the murals closely saw little comic drawings illustrating popular songs, for instance — a girl with stars for eyes, “Star Eyes,’’ a pair of red stockings and a bottle of green perfume, Red Silk Stockings and the Green Perfume”; and a fat lady and skinny man, “She’s Too Fat For Me.” Coach Hester presented the co-captains for the 1947 and ’48 basketball season, Roger Wilhelms and Wayland Williams. A dance held Friday April 23, in the auditorium closed a very successful year for the Pep Club. The girls worked very hard this year to make an outstanding organization of the Pep Club. They did much work behind the scenes — selling at the football games, and spending many evenings after school working on the dances. The success of our football and basketball rallies this year was due to the enthusiastic work of our cheerleaders and Pep Club girls. Special rallies like the “Funeral of Falls City,” the snake dance, and the bonfire, along with the swell dances, will be nemembered by the seniors long after they have graduated from Auburn High school. Thanks — Barkerettes! . .Wum 'uZZ A CLUB Instrumental Department Auburn High School started the year with one of the largest bands it has had for a number of years. Early in September the band began to learn new marching techniques under the direction of Charlie Grovenburg. Every Monday night for three months the band was put through some snappy march routines. They displayed their ability for the first time at the Humboldt Fair. They also marched at all the home football games and journeyed to the Tecumseh and Plattsmouth games. To help inspire pep at the games a pep band was organized with Frank Wells as president. The pep band, which attended every rally, football and basketball game, has eleven members — Frank Wells Gene Wells, Jerry Humphrey, Jack Nance, Mary Gibson, Paul Parker JoAnn Schneider, Jim McCoy, Jean Mclninch, Ruth Damon, and Margaret Ritchie. On November 20, 21, and 22 the All-State Music Clinic was held at Kearney. Mary Gibson and Jean Mclninch were Auburn’s delegates. The two hundred piece clinic band was under the direction of Mr. Ebbs, director of the Hobart, Indiana, High School Band. A Christmas atmosphere prevailed at th band’s annual Winter Concert, December 5. A special feature of the evening was Bernice Hummel singing “Panis Angelius” with band accompaniment. A saxophone solo was played by Jim McCoy, and the majorettes — Doris Smith, Barbara Russell, Marjorie Beckmann, and Donna Hartell — twirled to a snappy march beat. February 22, the second annual Massed Band Concert was given by the Auburn and Humboldt bands at Humboldt. Both directors, Chatelain and Schrepel, directed a portion of the program. During intermission the Auburn girls’ sextette sang two numbers. Two weeks later, March 7, the same concert was given at Auburn with the addition of the Nemaha band, making a massed band of 150 members. Mr. Chatelain, in preparation for the district contest, sent his soloists and small groups to the Tarkio Music Contest on March 19. Superior ratings were given to: Mary Gibson. French horn; Jim McCoy, saxophone; Paul Parker, piano; Jean Mclninch, bass horn; Marilyn Jo Smith, flute; Frank Wells, baritone horn; flute quartette; drum ensemble; and the brass sextette. Eighteen of Auburn’s band members participated in the Peru MINK Clinic Saturday, March 20, under the direction of David Bennett, well-known composer and arranger. One of the special numbers was a piano solo, “Repartee,” featuring Jim McCoy at the piano. This piece, composed by Mr. Bennett, was accompanied by the entire clinic band. Those attending the clinic were: Paul Parker, Betty Vanderford, Gail Gilliland. JoAnn Schneider, Marilyn Jo Smith, Jim McCoy, Edith Damon, John Instrumental Department Alden, Jean Mclninch, Frank Wells, Wayne Bath, Mary Gibson, Maxine Becker, and Robert Teten. Next came the event that the band had practiced for all year, the District 1 and 2 Music Contest, April 16-17. This was our band’s banner year, for out of 13 entries there were three superior plus, seven superiors, and three excellents. The entries which received the superior plus were Jim McCoy, sax solo; Frank Wells, baritone horn solo, and the brass sextette composed of Margaret Ritchie, Ruth Damon, Jean Mclninch, Frank Wells, Mary Gibson, and Wayne Bath. Superiors were earned by Jean Mclninch, bass horn; Mary Gibson French horn; Marilyn Jo Smith, flute; Paul Parker, clarinet; trombone trio, Kenny Sailors. Wayne Benson, and Wayne Bath; trumpet trio, John Alden, Margaret Ritchie, and Ruth Damon; and the Class B Band. The excellent ratings were Wayne Bath, trombone; Ruth Damon, cornet; and the clarinet quartette, Betty Vanderford, Shirley Hinds, Beatty Rademacher, and JoAnn Schneider. The junior band presented its annual convocation concert April 9. There were two soloists and four small groups. To close a very successful band year, a spring concert was held Friday, May 14. The first half of the concert was a program by the junior band. Then the senior band took over and played several numbers. Two of the seniors, Mary Gibson (French horn) and Marilyn Jo Smith (flute) played solos. The trombone trio played a number with band accompaniment. This was the last appearance in the band for the ten senior members — Marilyn Jo Smith, Betty Vanderford, Gail Gilliland, JoAnn Schneider, Edith Damon, Mary Gibson, Jean Mclninch, Jim McCoy, John Alden, and Wayne Bath. Six of these people had occupied first chairs in their sections. Band members have made several solo appearances during the year at churches, Kiwanis Club Nemaha Teachers' Association, Peru Kiwanis Club, and the County Co-op. Last winter Frank Wells had the honor of being guest soloist at the Pawnee High School annual Winter Concert. Jim McCoy and Paul Parker played in the Peru College Band for their spring concert. This has been a fine year for the band, and one that its senior members will long remember. This success, however, is due greatly to the help and long hours of work that Chat has put in. Thanks to a superior band and Chat. j «« : 'v. mi tJ vv 'ttttmwuwm ' m v u to wimwMwuvmwwwiitw n ■fmvmwwu iww w w v«. veS Mil ftMiwlr£ m WW wnwab fotfnsWftns ?t. n nsmfo r mm tomt m m g g Vocal Department The Mixed Chorus made their first appearance this year at the Annual Christmas Vespers, December 21, under the direction of Mrs. Timm. The chorus of 85 voices opened the program with a candle-light procession. A feature of the program was the combined Junior High Choir of 55 and the Mixed Chorus singing three numbers. Other special features were a number by the Boys’ Choir with Wayne Bath, Wayne White, and Neal Thomas as soloists; a duet by Erma Rader and Janis Nelson, and a solo by Margaret Ritchie. The next appearance of the Mixed Chorus was at the Nebraska City Music Clinic, February 17. The combined choirs of the four schools — Dunbar, Auburn, Plattsmouth. and Nebraska City — totaled 250 members. Under the direction of Mr. David Foltz, University of Nebraska music instructor, the music clinic held rehearsals in the morning and afternoon and presented a concert in the evening. During intermission the Auburn Girls’ Sextette sang a medley of Stephen Foster songs. February 24 the Auburn Mixed Chorus presented the numbers which had been sung at the Nebraska City Clinic, plus several other interesting numbers to an audience of Auburnites. “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,’’ a cantata, was presented by our Junior High Chorus before a large audience, March 7. The program included a mixed chorus and girls' and boys’ choir. Fred Allen was soloist on one of the numbers. This group under the direction of Mrs. Timm showed fine musical ability. The climax of this year’s musical activities was the District Music Contest held in Auburn, April 16 and 17. There were a total of 33 towns entered with approximately 1600 high school musicians in Auburn for the two days. This was the largest music contest ever to be held in this district. Soloists receiving superiors were Bernice Hummel and Margaret Ritchie. The small groups receiving superior were the Girls’ Sextette — Mary Gibson, Deborah Dunn. Erma Rader, Janis Nelson, Betty Rademacher, and Margaret Ritchie; the Boys’ Octette — Wayne Bath, John Alden, Harvey Bergman, John Rohrs, Wayne White, Neal Thomas, Paul Parker, and Hal Smith; and the Madrigal — Bernice Hummel, Mary Gibson. Margaret Ritchie, John Alden, and Paul Parker. Other entries from the vocal department were Betty Rademacher, Barbara Russell, Wayne White, Neal Thomas, soloists, and the Mixed Chorus. During the year small groups and soloists have made several appearances before the public of Auburn. The department has sent representatives to Kiwanis Club, the Women’s Club, Nemaha County Teachers’ Association, several of the churches, and one day the Girls’ Sextette and Bernice Hummel traveled to Nemaha to appear before the Nemaha Mental Culture Club. Mrs. Timm returned this year to Auburn High School as vocal music instructor after several years absence. Many thanks is due Mrs. Timm for her splendid instruction and help. Thanks goes to senior Jim McCoy, too, for the fine job of accompanying he has done this year. iv kiK ssaMMSK mw STRANGER N THE N I GHT May Fete To close a very happy year at A. H. S., the traditional May Fete was given Friday, May 7. The theme, “Song of America,’’ is the story of immigrants from many lands — England. France, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Holland, and others — who have brought with them the culture, songs, dances, and customs of the Old World. Blended together these songs have created a new song of unity and freedom, “The Song of America.” The program was as follows: Procession of the Court Episode I The Indians Episode II The First Settlers Episode III Fantasia on Folk Songs and Dances Irish, Welch, Scotch, Swedish, French, Norwegian, German, Italian.

And much that is good in life is lost when school memories fade with the passing years. So we have tried to make this Bulldog a mirror that will never lose its magic, for it will always reflect you as you are now, and each incident of your school life preserved here will become more priceless to you with the passing of each year. Dedication To an institution dedicated to the preparation of youth for better living; to its student body and faculty, sincere in their cooperative effort to train young people in the ways of better citizenship; to its facilities for encouraging participation in the sciences, agriculture, music, mathematics, social studies, commercial, athletics, and traditions, we the Class of 1948, believing “The Future of Democracy Rests with Education,’’ proudly dedicate this 1948 Bulldog to our school, Auburn High School.

Henkel Recessional_______________________________________High School Band “Our Future Is What We Make It’ FRESHMEN We were freshmen in ’45, That's when the school became alive! With McCoy as our leader we swung into style, Vice-President was Gillispie with her cute little smile. Doris Smith was our secretary, treasurer; But work for her was considered a pleasure. Cheerleader of games for the Junior High Was Barbara Gillispie who made all boys sigh. And when as freshmen we learned the scores, We then became great soph-o-mores. SOPHOMORES With officers Gillispie, Schneider, and Dunn Our high school life had now begun. Bath and Gilliland won A-pin awards. Kite and Alden were our council guards. For a party this year with Miss Hill at our side We decided to go on a hay-rack ride. “The Mikado” was given and people say That it went over in a great big way. The football team really did swell, They won the conference and a trophy as well. For May Fete honors, these kids won— Gillispie, Jack Haith, Bath and Dunn. And now as sophomores we were through, We left this class to begin anew. JUNIORS And once again we had elections, Bath, Pumel, Gillispie were our selections. John Alden was chosen for our valentine. We ail think he is really fine. A costume party was held by us guys And three old maids won first prize. “Heart Trouble” was the name of the Junior Class play, Then came the nights we worked till eleven. So the seniors could spend “One Night in Heaven.” And so it was May Fete time once more, Gillispie, Humphrey, Cowell and Bath won the score. Now to this class we bid farewell! Junior Class play, inow io inis class we Dia larewcu: But, nay, everybody was feeling quite gay. What happens next we've yet to tell. SENIORS And now we are the upper-crust. So full of knowledge we’re about to bust. Bath and Pumel we again did choose With Beverly Markland to collect the dues. Football season came to a close. Co-captains, Haith and Humphrey, they chose. Football prom was held in study-hall, Sweetheart Dee Dunn reigned over all. Basketball season rolled around. As co-captains, Way and Rog won the crown. Our class play, “He Ain’t Done Right By Nell,” Was a success and really swell. With Cowell up there to lose her skirt How could anything go biserk? “Our Future is What We Make It” Is the motto of our class. And we ll do our very best To make that motto last. And now we leave you one and all With Commencement near at hand We say good-bye to AHS. The best school in the land!!!!
