To those students whose ambitions, ideals, dreams, and industry turn AHS into an institution for learning, achievement, and development of leadership, we of the 1949 Bulldog staff dedicate this book. We sincerely hope that this book will help those students recall that brief space of time that will be recorded as the term of 1948-49. Whether It’s studying, as these students are doing....dancing and enjoying a social activity....discussing the problems of the classes....or letting off steam at a pep rally, the students are adding to their store of school day memories. 4 W � AVt- W t?M 1 SI'. y v| v9, 1 M r ■r a y. .-t—:■ G.

Academic courses ere arranged so that the entrance requirements for most colleges will be met, while at the same time students are allowed a large measure of freedom of choice in specialized fields. Vocational Agriculture courses have been very popular with rural students who like to work out their projects in class and shop. Home Economics, which will be offered again next fall after a one year absence, offers the girls a chance to learn about homemaking. F.

IS 4 4W. (Wriw reaffirmBrasBEBZ Faculty Music students have a chance to specialize either in instrumental or vocal groups, and the commercial department offers an insight into the field of business. Would-be journalists get their chance to express themselves in the two official school publications, the Aucourant, tri-weekly newspaper, and the Bulldog, the annual. The junior and senior plays allow the upperclassmen a chance to try their hands at make-believe. A well-rounded athletic program gives the students a chance to develop good sportsmanship and team work. From this it is easily seen that the AHS graduate has not only had a chance to get his fair share of “book learning,” but also can round out his education with the proper amount of extra-curricular activities.

Joe Engles was chosen president; Wylene Owens, vice-president; and Marjorie Beckman, secretary-treasurer. Student Council members were Beverly Grant and Neal Thomas. The first semester class party was a hayrack ride out into the country where everyone ate the lunches they had brought. Second semester the class divided up into several groups for a scavenger hunt. In September of ’47 Wayne White was chosen to lead the class; Neal Thomas was elected vice-president; and Shirley Hinds, secretary-treasurer. Two parties, at which they played games and danced, were held during the year.

For their second party, they reserved the skating rink at Nebraska City and went roller skating. The junior class play, “Stranger In The Night,’’ with an eleven member cast, was given in November. “The Last Round-up” was the theme of the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet given by the juniors for the seniors. The gymnasium was decorated to represent the West with pictures of cactus, cowboys, horses, and cattle. Other decorations were a huge chuck wagon at one end of the room and saddles and bridles scattered around campfires. Junior attendants at the May Fete that year were: Peggy Kermoade, Betty Flack, Darrell Higgins, and Tom Wolfe. In their senior year the class of ’49, sponsored by Mr. Maclay, elected Jack Rohrs, president; Darrell Higgins, vice-president; Marjoie Beckman, secretary; and Neal Thomas, treasurer. Their first party was a dinner and dance. The food was prepared in the home ec room and served on tables in the hall, after which a “Daisy Mae” dance was held in the activity room.

' ■' r « vahv� S � ,v.vt i • ■ « « « « • • r trr i t ■ Junior-Senior Banquet Entering a southern mansion through an arbor of flowers, juniors and seniors attended the annual junior-senior banquet at 7 p. m. Monday, May 16. The banquet was given by the juniors in honor of the seniors. The theme of the affair was ‘ Down South.” The entire ceiling was covered with light blue streamers with a silver chandelier in the center. Blooming magnolia trees were placed around the room and above the brick fireplace with burning log were paintings of southern mansions and southern belles. A large balcony overgrown with red roses completed the decorations. The tables were attractively decorated with southern belles as favors, nut cups, and tiny printed programs with the title “MEMORIES.” The menu consisted of Mobile Cocktail, Natchez Potatoes, Virginia Baked Ham, Creole Peas Plantation Salad, Relishes, Cotton Boll Rolls, Tallahassee Coffee, and Southern Delight. Waitresses and Negro butlers met the guests at the door and served the food. The after-dinner speakers also followed the southern theme in their speeches: welcome, Sunny South, Wayne Moody; response Dry Bones, John Rohrs; reading, Mis. Bauer; Song of the South, Girls Sextet; toast, Lil Liza Jane, Margaret Ritchie; ragtime, Cornet Trio; toast, My Old Kentucky Home, Mr. Maclay. After the program was concluded, the evening was spent dancing. Sneak Day On the morn of May 18 the rising sun found 50 seniors shoving off for Topeka, Kansas, in five cars and the bus. Despite a little car trouble, all reached their destination safely. After meeting at the Chamber of Commerce building they proceeded to the Capital where most of the “sneakers climbed to the dome, and gazed out over the expanse of Topeka and surrounding territory. The long descent over, shattered nerves restored, and shaky knees quieted, they moved on to the building housing the “Capper Publications.” There they were conducted through the plant and showed each phase of getting out a paper. All of this had consumed the morning and the seniors were given time to explore on their own, and get some lunch. Topeka High School, which has some 30C0 students enrolled, was the next point of interest to be seen. Envious looks were given the art facilities and journalism students were surprised that the Topeka students printed their own paper. The seniors were awe-struck by the school library which is larger than our public institution. Still in wonderment at the size of the school, which covered an entire block, they went to the zoo. Here they were fascinated by a peacock and a talking raven. Some students wandered off to a nearby lake and went rowing. Going back to the downtown district, they had free time once again. The “India Room” at the Hotel Kansan was their evening destination for the banquet. Following the banquet the group scattered and found entertainment in roller skatihg, bowling dancing, or taking in a show. At 10:15 a tired group of “sneakers” gathered at the Hotel Kansan, piled in their different means of transportation and headed for home sweet home. I? i iii V i yr’W v.' '.’vr: uv V.

BOGLE famous predictor of future grocery prices, on his flight to deptermine the price of horse-radish in 1964, accidently discovered a few of his old ex-classmates from good old AHS. Suffering a slight attack of Yokum’s Moon, he called for the stewardness ALICE CASPERS. She gave him a glass of “Stewart’s Super Atomic Jet Juice,” produced by none other than RICH STEWART. Glancing around, he saw he was sitting opposite that world famous basketball team “The Pianet Gallopers”, WAYNE BENSON, right guard, WILEY HARMS, center, PAUL PARKER, left guard, BILL McININCH, forward, and HENRY EHLERS, forward. After a discussion about the prospects for next century’s team, with Coach ED MOODY, he saw that they were about to land, for here came Co-pilot PAUL JONES, asking everyone to fasten their safety belts. Through the open door, WILBUR J. caught a glimpse of the pilot, CLAYTON TENHULZEN. Following a jolting 1 7 8 points landing, he called for a taxi. The driver, he noticed too late, was WARREN JONES, who was calmy carving his 16th notch on the steering wheel. After giving instructions to drive to the PILCH- f i I I s AM Tra 1 v a-, .-:vfcr a w .v. g:-� . Class Prophecy ROCKWELL Hotel, he settled down for one of his favorite cigars, “Clark’s Coronas” manufactured by none other than STEVE (still-in-training) CLARK. Surveying the scenery he happened to notice a few signs which reminded him of his old school chums. The first of these was at the entrance of a FOX Farm run by his good friend, ELOISE. A few miles farther, he came to another billboard, advertising Shubert Sherbert, manufactured by VERNELL LEWIS. Entering town, he stopped at Bohlings’ Bowling Barn operated by the BOHL-ING girls, EILEEN AND WILMA, for a moment of relaxation. He noticed the pin-setters looked slightly familiar. Riding a ball down the alley, he discovered his old school pals, JOHN ROHRS, HEROLD GEBERS, and BILL VANDERFORD struggling to set up one pin. A desire to quench his thirst led to his discovery of the BRUNS TWINS soda jerking in the Fountain of Youth. Feeling ten years younger after a glass of double-bubble water, he turned to be greeted by a forlorn voice wailing, “Going down, going, down”. Investigating he found that, as an elevator operator, PEGGY KERMOADE’S life was full of ups and downs. After Peg transported him to the exit of the bowling emporium, he bought a newspaper at a stand on the corner. He saw by the headlines that his schoolmate, the famous surgeon, DR. RICHARD YELKIN, was to operate that afternoon to remove a ketchup tumor from the brain of THOMAS D. WOLFE, business tycoon. He was to be assisted by his nurse, JEAN SANDERS. “The Friendly Undertaker”, BOB NEUCEBAUER, Dr. Yelkin’s follow-up man, was said to be standing by. About that time, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. Realizing that he was hungry, he turned into Bill s Club 49. In the window was a picture of the proprietor, BILL BIRDSLEY. The waitresses, who turned out to be NORMALEE CONN, BEVERLY FRENZEL, and DA VIDA GILLILAND, provided him with excellent service. Following dinner, Wilbur J. sat back to watch the floor show. The first entertainers were HIGGINS AND HILLERS, singing hillbillies. Next on the program, were the “Three R’s”, a girls’ trio consisting of MARGARET RITCHIE, ERMA RADER, AND BETTY RADEMACHER. In the chorus line for the last number he discovered BEV GRANT, TWYLA BANTZ, AND MARJ BECKMAN. i Seeking further means of entertainment, he walked down the street, looking at the theater marquees. He found that his high school buddy, WAYNE WHITE, was playing the lead in the Broadway production, “The Rat Who Came to Nibble.” Farther on he saw that his former classmate, GERALD HOGENMILLER, who was hailed as another Humphrey Bogart, was co-starring with MARIE AUKER in the show “Bellowing Bornslegal”. As he bought his ticket he saw that the girl in the box office was MARY MOORE. The usher who showed him to his seat was another old friend, ALBERTA BRADFORD. Just as he seated himself, the newsreel began. It showed the champion woman shot-putter, JANIS NELSON, who was returning from the Olympic Games, where she set a new world’s record. Next on the newsreel agenda was the appearance of NEAL THOMAS, famed journalist, accompanied by his secretary, SHIRLEY HINDS, interviewing Congresswoman BETTY FLACK, on her opinions of the status cf Nebraska as a cotton producer. The comments of RUTH DAMON, noted Hollywood columnist, which accom-pained an interesting short feature showing houses of movie stars, lulled him to dreamland and he slept through the feature twice. He awoke with a start to find that he had only twenty minutes to get back to his plane. The mad dash to the airport left him so weak that he was over Denver before he realized that he had forgotten to inquire about the price of horse-radish. He sobbed bitterly all the way back to Bogle’s Midway Grocery where fellow horse-radish lovers joined him in bemoaning their sad, sad fate! 3 £ I : sAMC Af .Vf AJW W vf V v� ' vI V W « � w.

The talent of the juniors was displayed before the footlights when they presented “Everybody’s Crazy,” under the direction of Mrs. Merle Bauer. The profits were used to finance the Junior-Senior Banquet. The big event in twelve juniors’ lives came when the student body elected them to go to the first County Government Day on January 27. The twelve were Marjorie Lunzman, Edwin Cumberland, Wayne Moody, Earl Cummings, Clara Rumbaugh Dick Whitman, Paul Steube, Carl Baker, Bob Teten, Dolores Nelson, Frank Wells, and Gale Wheeler. Appointed officials were Joann Janousek, Emmett Mason, Kyla Conner, Alan Wrightsman. The last two months of the school year were the busiest as preparations were made for the Junior-Senior Banquet. Carrying out the theme, The Old South, involved making magnolia trees, painting place cards, and gathering flowers. Due to the work on the banquet the class held only one party, a dance the first semester. f: I Back Row (L. to R.): Balter. Pass, Reed, Marvin Caspers, Bogle. Second Row: Cummings, D. Gebers, M.

REBANUS GLOYE Sophomore Sponsor Soph omores Don Vanderford proved to be the popular choice of the sophomores for class president. A newcomer to Auburn High this year, Ruth Ann Johnson, was elected vice-president. Jack Nance was selected to serve as secretary-treasurer. Their first party of the year was a dance in the activity room. Many novelty dances had been chosen to enliven the activities. After the dancing, refreshments were served. For their second party, the sophomores made a trip to Nebraska City for a roller skating party. A radio program including a trombone trio, a girls’ sextet, a piano solo, a hypnotist act, and commercials, was the sophomores contribution to the special convocation series. For help in serving the Junior-Senior Banquet the juniors called on sophomore girls and boys. The boys appeared as “darkies’ in black face and the girls dressed as waitresses. Representing the sophomores as class attendants were: Nancy Ross, Rosalie Gebers, Lee Norris and Gene Wells. ■ '■� , y-.?

The freshmen’s lives were full of ups and downs when they held their class get-together, a roller skating party at the local rink. The evening was spent in holding contests between the boys and girls, and just plain skating. To disprove the idea that all first year high school students are shy and “green,” the freshmen displayed their talents as well as their brains in a convocation. The program was composed of a number of musical selections of different types, a reading, and a “Quiz Kids” skit. One of the projects of the ninth grade English classes was a hobby show to which everyone brought their hobbies. Don Jenkins’ and Hod Osborne’s model airplanes were voted the most outstanding exhibits.

Their one win, over Tecumseh, came at a precise moment, though, for the victory gave the Scarlet fourth place in the Southeast Conference. Other outstanding performances for the team came in the Humboldt and College View games. These two clubs were two of the top ranking Class C schools in the state, and the Bulldogs gave each of them a tough battle before losing. Steve Clark, shifty senior tailback, was the AHS standout in nearly every game. His running and passing accounted for numerous ’Dog touchdowns during the year. His efforts were rewarded with a place on the All-Conference Team at the season’s end. The squad chose Clark and Wayne White, senior tackle, as their co-captains after completion of the schedule. Coach Max Hester awarded 21 varsity letters for the ’49 season. The letter winners were: Seniors: Steve Clark, Wayne White, Neal Thomas, Darrell Higgins, Rich Stewart, Gerald Hogenmiller, Bill Birdsley, and Mel Wren.

After trailing 19-0 at halftime, the Scarlet roared back on an 85 yard touchdown march that was highlighted by Lee Norris s 30 yard end sweep and Ken Clark’s plunge to pay dirt. The 25-6 loss was far from the worst suffe:ed by the Bulldogs. Mel Wren, ace fullback, contracted a compound fracture of his left Lg early in the game. AUBURN 18 — ROCK PORT 33 Although uncorking a brilliant second half rally, the Scarlet dropped their second game of the season to Rock Port Missouri. The Bulldogs’ scores came in the last three quarters. Wayne White, AHS game captain, garnered the first on a recovered fumble in the Bluejay end zone. Neal Thomas added two more T. D.’s in the second half, the first coming on an end around and the other on a 28 yard pass from Steve Clark. AUBURN 12 — TARKIO 14 Auburn dropped their third straight as Tarkio, Missouri, took advantage of the Scarlet’s inability to kick extra points. Lee Norris and Ken Clark were the Bulldogs’ big guns in the exciting battle. Norris, shifty soph wingback, netted the first score on a 15 yard reverse. Clark picked up the other as he pounded through the Tarkio defense on a line buck. AUBURN 0 — NEBRASKA CITY 52 Nebraska City’s conference champs rolled past the hapless Bulldogs in the Scarlet’s first league game. Ron Ryder and Jim Lightbody were the main “thorns in the Bulldogs’ sides.’' Ryder’s plunging and Lightbody’s end sweeps kept AHS guessing all evening. Bright spots in the drab Auburn showing were Steve Clark, Lee Norris and Dick Humphrey. AUBURN 0 — PAWNEE CITY 33 Bad breaks gave Auburn their second consecutive conference loss. Fumbles, intercepted passes, and blocked kicks ell helped the Pawnee Indians to their first league win. Early in the second half, the ’Dogs, sparked by the Clark brothers and Lee Norris marched 57 yards only to have an intercepted pass halt the drive. This was only one of a series of “tough breaks’’ that led to the Auburn downfall. AUBURN 0 — HUMBOLDT 20 Humboldt, fourth ranking Class C school in the state, ruined the AHS Homecoming by walloping the ’Dogs 20-0. Jack Pennington, glue fingered end, led the Cards’ victory parade with two touchdowns. Once again Steve Clark and Lee Norris were the Scarlet stars. Clark’s passing and running gave the Bulldogs their only offensive threat. AUBURN 0 — FALLS CITY 28 Auburn was “shut out ’ for the fourth straight game as a powerful Bengal defense kept the Tiger goal uncrossed. Bill Farmer, All-State end, and Wayne Nana-muntube were the sparks of the potent Falls City crew. Steve Clark gave one of his usual exhibitions of swivel hipped ability. Time after time a missed block stopped “Buck” from going “all the way.” AUBURN 19 — TECUMSEH 6 After seven futile tries, the AHS Bulldogs rolled past the Tecumseh Indians for their first win of the season. The victory enabled the Scarlet to avoid the cellar of the Southeast Conference chase. Steve Clark contributed one of the season’s outstanding runs, a sparkling 40 yard touchdown sprint late in the first quarter. Jim Cross and Ken Clark added the two final counters in the second half. AUBURN 13 — COLLEGE VIEW 34 Auburn ended the 1949 grid season on a drab note. College View of Lincoln, Nebraska’s number three “C” school, rolled past the Dogs 34-13. Jim Cross and Steve Clark picked up the Bulldog scores. Cross grabbed a 40 yard reverse pass from Clark for his T. D., while Steve pounded home from five yards out to get the other score. � , « « . i � - « « « i l . 4 |«i sr-vjr .VI A 9JW.3J 9 w 9 v� yv� v� wsemi • Vf r | Vt Af� W«IMW f T AAV M MS' v-fZ AW Basketball Although registering only one triumph during the 1948-1949 cage season, the Auburn Bulldogs enjoyed a year of basketball that was marked by high scoring games, great individual stars, and brilliant defensive work. The ’Dogs lost 14 games, but many of these losses might well have been on the win side of the ledger had “Old Lady Luck” smiled on the Bulldogs. Several games, including the Wilber, Tarkio, and Humboldt contests, found the ’Dogs holding a lead early in the final canto, only to see the opponents roar back and capture the battle. Neal Thomas, senior guard and co-captain with Rich Stewart, won a place on the All-Conference Team that was selected by the conference coaches at the season's end.

The Scarlet held a 24-22 lead early in the final quarter, but Tarkio rallied to rip the game from the claws of the Bulldogs. AUBURN 27 — PERU PREP 43 An early lead once again proved to be insufficient as the Scarlet lost their final game of the 1948 to Peru Prep. Fouls took the toll of three ’Dog regulars, and this loss greatly hampered the Auburn offensive. Neal Thomas collected ten points for scoring honors. AUBURN 32 — HUMBOLDT 42 Humboldt’s high flying Cardinals staged a brilliant fourth quarter rally to subdue the Scarlet's bid for a first win. Neal Thomas, AHS high point getter with twelve, was lost to the Buldogs for an indefinite time, when he received a severe cut on his left palm. AUBURN 36 — PAWNEE CITY 51 Bobby Reed played sensational ball, but the Pawnee Indians managed a second half comeback to down the ’Dogs 51-36 in their first conference game. Reed collected 19 points, highest individual total of the year, and was the spark of an improved Scarlet five. AUBURN 19 — NEBRASKA CITY 49 Nebraska City, sparked by Jim Light-body’s 24 points began conquest for the Southeast Conference cage title by soundly trouncing the Bulldogs on tne Pioneers' home floor. “Boner” Jones’ eight points led the feeble Scarlet offensive. AUBURN 29 — FALLS CITY 71 Powerful Falls City rolled up one of the highest offensive totals ever registered on the AHS maples in lashing the ’Dogs 71-29.

AUBURN 34 — PLATTSMOUTH 52 Merle Casher’s sharpshooting led Platts-mouth past Auburn after the Scarlet had held the Blue Devils to a 25-25 tie at halftime. Neal Thomas celebrated his return to the lineup by leading the ’Dog offensive with eight markers. AUBURN 35 — FALLS CITY 52 Auburn's Bulldogs cut 25 points from Falls City’s previous winning margin, but the Tigers still captured their second victory of the season from the ’Dogs. Bobby Reed had one of his “red-hot” nights and ripped the cords to the tune of 17 points. AUBURN 54 — WYMORE 28 After taking nine consecutive K-O punches on the chin, the AHS Bulldogs finally came through with a knockout blow of their own to register their initial win of the cage campaign. Reed enjoyed another good night in getting 16 points. AUBURN 22 — NEBRASKA CITY 52 Smooth Jim Lightbody, Pioneer All-Conference nominee, led the Citians’ slaughter of the Scarlet. He dumped 25 markers in helping NCHS to their sixth league win. Rich Stewart, ace AHS guard, collected eight points for the Bulldogs. AUBURN 28 — TECUMSEH 43 The two cellar dwellers of the Southeast Conference “locked horns’ in a battle that •rund the Tecumseh Indians the winners after four furious quarters of basketball. John Devenney, star Indian forward, swished 20 points to lead the Tecumseh crew, while Reed had eight for the Scarlet. s AUBURN 25 — PAWNEE CITY 52 Pawnee City Southeast Nebraska’s representative at the State Cage Meet, rolled past an outmanned Scarlet five 52-25. Pawnee’s sophomore stalwarts, Ned Eckman and Chuck Jensen, were the game standouts with 14 and 16 points respectively. AUBURN 34 — TECUMSEH 44 Tecumseh handed the Auburn cage squad the deed to the conference cellar by lambasting the ’Dog five 44-34. The win was the second for the Chiefs over the Scarlet, and also their second league victory of the season. Neal Thomas bucketed 18 points for the evening’s high total. AUBURN 48 — WILBER 53 Auburn rolled up their second highest offensive total of the year in losing to the Wilber Wolverines in the quarter finals of the District Tournament. The Scarlet led throughout the battle, before falling apart late in the final stanza. Warren Jones and Neal Thomas sparked the attack with 12 and 14 points respectively.

Football Sweetheart Betty Flack who had been chosen by the football team, was crowned and presented with a locket bv Steve Clark and Wayne White, football co-captains. Valentines Day found the girls busy selling baked goods such as cookies, candies, and cakes. The money made in the sale of the goods was used in giving the Hoopster Hop.

Under the direction of Miss Hahn, club sponsor, an interesting and educational yearly program was carried out. Two visiting speakers talked to the club during the year—Mr. Manuel Briseno, a Spanish student attending Peru College; and Mrs William Brown, who spoke on her recent trip to Mexico. The first party was a Christmas party held shortly before Christmas vacation, at which a luncheon was served and many Spanish games were played. Highlighting the program was an old Spanish custom, the breaking of the pinata. A party was held April 14 to celebrate Pan-American Day, a Mexican holiday; and the members had another dinner the last week of school. Another special event during the year was a Mexican exhibit, at which the students brought Mexican objects for display.

This was an increase of twenty per cent over the choral group of last year. Due to the large enrollment it was found necessary to use both periods five end six for rehearsal. Tryouts were held for several days to determine the ability of the beginners, then division into two groups was determined by the convenience to the individual student. These groups met every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and practiced a variety of types of music. Individual lessons or small group practices were held on Tuesdays and Thursdays. November 18-20, four chorus members, Betty Rademacher, Margaret Ritchie, Erma Rader and Janis Nelson, were representatives at the Nebraska State Chorus Clinic at Omaha.

And they put them to good use by putting out twelve issues of the Aucourant under the direction of Mr. Graham, journalism teacher, and Neal Thomas, editor-in-chief. This not only required the use of second period each day, but also some overtime work. Friday nights and Saturdays found Beverly Grant, Marjorie Beckman, Janis Nelson, and Wayne Benson, page editors, working on layouts, and the whole class proof reading the dummy and writing headlines, in order to meet the Saturday noon deadline. Jean Sanders and Peggy Kermoade also put in a little extra time collecting advertising, as Business Manager and Advertising Manager respectively. And if anyone was over-worked, they blamed it on Margaret Ritchie, who was Managing Editor A little fun was injected into the busy schedule in March when the class wer? to Nebraska City for a bowling party, with Mr. and Mrs. Graham as sponsors. Afterwards Mr. Graham furnished babecued hamburgers of his own making at a supper at his home. On the last day of school the class took off again for a picnic held at Izaak Walton Park. r Bulldog Staff Junior and senior class members worked together this year in putting out the “Buldog” under the direction of Mr. Ralf Graham, sponsor. The six staff members, Margaret Ritchie, editor; Neal Thomas, managing editor; Wayne White, advertising editor; Janis Nelson, copy editor; Shirley Hinds, photography editor; and Ruth Damon, layout editor, were taken from the senior class and their assistants, Joann Janousek Edwin Cumberland, Delores Nelson, Jean Birdsley, Frank Wells, and Wayne Moody were taken from the junior class. These students spent many a busy afternoon and evening planning picture layouts which were sent to the Inter-Collegiate Press in Kansas City to be lithographed. Later they were sent to the Nemaha County Herald to be printed. Another major job which kept the staff busy was the selling and collecting of advertising. A new type of advertising was used this year in which pictures of offices and stores were used in place of straight copy. In many of these, high school students were shown. Advertising and informal pictures were taken by Mr. Graham, who developed and printed them in the school darkroom. The final work was preparing copy to go to the printer. Much of this was last-minute details in order that the many events near the end of school could be included.

A tumultous six weeks of confinement follow during which time the Standley living room and library are monopolized by the invalid. When Maggie, his secretary (Margaret Ritchie) fell in love with a reporter, Bert Jefferson (Neal Thomas), Whiteside summoned a glamorous actress, Lorraine Sheldon (Shirley Hinds) to win the affections of the young man. Maggie enlisted the aid of a clever impersonator, Beverly Carleton (Wayne Moody) to affect the voice of Lord Bottomly, whom the actress hopes to marry, and asked her by phone to return to England. The ruse almost worked, but Whiteside uncovers the plot and in revenge, Lorraine suggested a three week excursion to Lake Placid with Bert to rewrite his play. To get rid of Lorraine, the relenting Whiteside tricked her into stepping inside a mummy case, snapped the lid shut, and sent the case to the airport, preparatory to a round-th-world flight.

There were thirty boys present to eat three hundred pounds of watermelon. Preparations for the annual Fun Feed, at which time the parents were the guests of the Future Farmers, kept th boys busy for the next month. The basket dinner was held in the auditorium on October 11. Guest speaker for the evening was H. W. Deems, state secretary of the FFA. After discussing some of the outstanding FFA projects in Nebraska, he showed color slides of these. The National FFA Convention held in Kansas City November 14-16 attracted 16 members of the Auburn chapter. Included among the special entertainments they attended were the General Electric March of Progress show, and the Firestone Hour broadcast. Henry Bonnet, French ambassador to the United States, was the guest speaker at the convention. A roller skating party in Nebraska City, January 13. was held to present the 1949 sweetheart, Twyla Bantz. She was presented with an official FFA sweetheart jacket in the traditional blue and gold colors with the insignia of the Auburn chapter on the back. Next big event was a convocation program which included a history of the FFA, an explanation of the emblem, and a short demonstration of proper parliamentary procedure. A skit, “Cat Pie,” revealed Earl Cummings as a comely waitress, and “Doc” Emmett Mason, who with the aid of a bicycle pump, removed a real live cat from the stomach of Marvin Caspers. Mr. Lester Stecker took over the job of vocational agriculture instructor at the semester to fill the vacancy left by Mr. TenHulzen. Twelve members attended the district FFA meeting and contest in Beatrice. Contests in which they entered were: the Creed Speaking contest, the Parliamentary Procedure contest, and the Record Book contest. Auburn received a white ribbon in Creed Speaking and Parliamentary Procedure contests, and a red ribbon on the Record Book entry. The State FFA convention was attended by only two boys from Auburn, Wayne Moody and John Fritz. Members and delegates to the convention were officially welcomed by Omaha’s Mayor Glen Cunningham. They were taken on several tours including a trip through the business district and the World-Herald building. For the next month Mr. Stecker was busy training the boys for the State Contest at Lincoln. After the weeks of preparation, Auburn was well rewarded by winning a red ribbon in dairy cattle judging, a white ribbon on project record books, and a white ribbon in dairy products judging. The FFA boys had almost every kind of project. They fell into three groups —livestock, crops, and farm improvement. Under the livestock division were: hogs, cattle, sheep, chickens, or any other livestock which the boys choose to raise. Wheat, corn, oats, and alfalfa were listed under the crops division, and painting building, repairing fences and buildings, building farm shops, and electrification came under farm improvement. The last activity on the FFA program was a wiener roast held at Izaak Walton Park, May 27, in honor of Mr. Stecker.

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. I 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.” ___ i:: yrfrrti vr v- ’vi £ ; jmwti THi swewiWB v� w .v viv i « vt m ama flrtmarafflm gE-ig WHITE FARM SUPPLY _ rtA«$ uss mu...
