ADminisidHTian With the Board of Education determining school policies, the administrators handling the 1001 problems of school organzation, and the faculty offering expert instruction in the academic and vocational subject fields, Auburn high school students have an opportunity to take advantage of one of the best secondary school programs in the state. Along subject lines, students are allowed to major in the academic courses of English, social studies, science, and mathematics. Related courses are offered in foreign language, journalism, and shop. Vocationally-minded students ma}- prefer courses in commerce, home economics, and vocational agriculture. Interests in instrumental music, vocal music, athletics, dramatics, and club work can be developed in out-of-class activities. The whole school program is designed to give each student the chance to learn the basic skills and concepts of education, and at the same time develop individuality, initiative, and personality.

This group could be made up of any of the five seniors and seven juniors in the class. If anyone was over worked it was the fault of the editor-in-chief, Dolores Nelson. Her assistant editor was Wayne Moody, with Maxine Becker as feature editor; Rosalee Gebers, cartoonist; Frank Barker, sports editor; dackie Cowsky, Evelyn Steffens, Ilal Smith, and Gene Wells as reporters.

JUNIOR PLfly There was little doubt on the night of Tuesday, November 22, that the junior class members had turned in excellent performances in the presentation of the Broadway play, “Arsenic and Old Lace. ” Maxine Becker and Mary Gerdes, as the Brewster sisters Martha and Abbv, poison twelve old men with “specially prepared” elderberry wine (one quart of wine, one teaspoon arsenic, and a pinch of cyanide), and then have their nephew Teddy (Roosevelt) Brewster (Jim Maclay) bury the “yellow fever” victims in the cellar. Jonathan (Jack Headley), an insane nephew of tilt-sisters, and his accomplice, Dr. Einstein (Gene Wells), plan to murder Mortimer (Jack Nance), the play critic nephew, but are interrupted by the play writing cop, Don Vanderford. Everything ends happily as the police take Jonathan away, the sisters and Teddy head for Sunny Dale sanitarium, and Mortimer learns that he is not a Brewster after all. Other members of the cast were Jackie Cowsky, John Fritz, Kenneth Sailors, Ralph Mosher, and Lee Norris. Ruth Johnson acted as assistant to the director. (iroups helping present the play were: Ushers — Juanalee Oestmann, Marjorie Bolding, Rosalee Gebers. Eugenia Wintz, Joan Mclninch, Evelyn Steffens, Donna Caspers, Pat Barnhart, Mary Dawdy, and Elizabeth Hug. Properties crew — Evelyn Steffens, Juanalee Oestmann, Rosalee Gebers, Doris Caspers, Joan Reimers, and Mary Lou Combs. Stage managers — Kenneth Clark and Bob. Norvell.

The Brewster brothers show no feeling of brotherly love at their first meeting, much to the concern of everyone present. Pep Clubbers snip stars, butterflies, dollar bills, and such, while preparing for the Pigskin Prom. PEP CLUB Passers-by had no trouble learning when the Homecoming would be if they looked at the sign placed on the front lawn by Kyla Conner, Joann Jarvousek, Shirley McKenney, and Marcene Milam ... It was the “Yea Bulldogs” of the pepsters that urged the team to keep on fighting. With Arlene Ebeler as president, Dolores Nelson as vice-president, Nancy Ross as secretary-treasurer, and Miss Marion Rist as sponsor, the Auburn Barkerettes added new “color” to the group this year by acquiring new uniforms of gray corduroy skirts, white blouses, and red sweaters. The two big social events of the year, the Pigskin Prom and the Hoopster Hop, were again sponsored by the group. On November 18 students were invited to go on a “Dreamer’s Holiday” and were joined by Football Sweetheart Marjorie Lunzmann. Again in March everyone toured “Chinatown” to see the Oriental sights. To finance these events the Pep Club sold refreshments at the home football games, and on December 21, sold baked goods, candies, and pop corn balls to raise money for the Hop. The Barkerettes again helped in staging the second AHS Homecoming by decorating the gym, sponsoring the dance, and displaying signs on the lawn, in the halls, and down town announcing the event. Everyone got a chance to “swing their partners” at the all school square dance on December 1, when as many as eleven sets were in action at once. Back Row (L to R): Miss Rist, Kinghorn, C. Nelson, R.

These students check out books, collect fines, repair damage, and see that all books are in their proper place on the shelves. Each member spends five hours a week working in the library. Their sponsor, Mr. Weekly, also calls special meetings from time to time to give them instructions on the proper library techniques. One hundred new volumes were added to the AIIS library during the Christmas vacation which added to interest in the library, but also required a great deal of work on the part of Mr. Weekly, JoAnn Taylor, and Helen Haith in arranging these books on the shelves.
