EVANS HENRY HARRIS The Board of Education, the mainstay of the Auburn High School, is carrying on its work for the betterment of an institution of learning for the high school students of Auburn. In our building we are almost constantly receiving new equipment; and we find the hoard co-operating in anything that is undertaken by the school. We want the board to know that we appreciate their work for our education in this school in which we have been privileged to enroll as students. Our school, rising from a beautiful campus, is indeed a tribute to these men who are constantly working toward its advance- ment. Although the Seniors are passing from the influence of the board, they can never forget the school that they will be proud to say sent them to college or good positions. Six 19 2 9 U,br ($rarU MR. C.

We, as the class of 1929, leave this record of our trials and joys, and are proud of them. In the fall of 1925 a class of forty-three bright and eager-looking students sought and entered the Auburn Township High School feeling very cpieer, we admit; but in time we were ourselves and able to wend our ways alone. We soon grew accustomed to the qu'.ps and pranks of the upper classmen and started by electing Miss Adams as our class advisor. Under her care we elected class officers, chose “Old Rose and Gray” as our colors, a “tea rose” for our flower, and “Step Lively” as our motto, striving hard to live up to it. We followed the crowd by having a weiner roast and later a class party at which most of the faculty were present. So ended our first year at the A. T. H. S. We are sure that it will always remain in our memory as a wonderful experience. We entered our second year with a group of thirty, having lost several members of our Freshman year. We termed ourselves, “Energetic Sophs,” proving this by entering into our work very industriously and helping in athletics as well as other activities at the same time; the girls doing their share in joining and fostering the Girls Athletic Association, a new organ- ization in the school that year. Our most brilliant year proved to be the Junior year, which we started with a membership of twenty-five. We were compelled to select another advisor as Miss Adams had not returned. Miss Hill, our new advisor, was quite capable. Our Junior Play “Poor Father.” under the competent direction of Mr. Belton proved a decided success. We had a weiner roast at Irvin’s Park one nice fall day and Miss Rice promised to remember it by just thinking of the windy ride back in Papv’s car. The Junior-Sen or Banquet sponsored by the Auburn Rotary Club was held at the Methodist Church on May 16. The informal program added much to the happy spirit of the occasion. We began our Senior year somewhat sadly, for we knew it was to be the last year. Our number had decreased to less than one-half that of our first year but when the Chatham students enrolled, we again numbered twenty-five. This year was a little hard on some of the students. It was marked somewhat by disaster. Laziness and discontent fell on some of our members causing them to go backwards and forget their motto. “Step Lively.” As soon as they realized their position, they revived themselves and joined the rest. This year we selected Miss Musser as our class advisor. It has been through her untiring interest and effort that we were able to edit this annual. Our ability was proven by the way in which we carried on the campaign for funds for the Oracle. The School Carnival was the crowning event during the first semester as it was something new at the A. T. H. S. Our class play, “I’ll Expla n Everything,” capably coached by Miss Evans was most successful. We have encountered both joys and sorrows in our high school days but have endeavored to work for the best interests of the school and our class. It has been through the loyalty and devotion of our advisers, Miss Adams. Miss Hill and Miss Musser, that we will be able to face the broad future fearlessly and think of our Alma Mater most sincerely. —C. V. 1928-1929 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President: Brooke Hill Secretary-Treasurer: Virginia Williamson Vice President: Walter Luedke Advisor : Mildred Musser Class Flower : Tea Rose Class Colors: Old Rose and Gray Class Motto : “Step Lively” Sixteen 1929 ®hp (iJrarlr % PROPHECY One evening as I was listen ng to the radio at my home in Hongkong, China, I heard the announcer say, “This is Grover Pierson announcing from the Planet Mars, and now you will hear the famous Class of 1929 of Auburn Township High School, each member give a five minute speech, concerning the things they have done during their life time. F.rst, you will hear Estella Tice talk.” Estella was introduced as Mrs. Charles Burgh. I wondered how this could be, but she later explained that she was married to Mr. Burgh, an aviator. She was a very successful aviatrix also, and she told of all her adventures, especially of the trip that she took to the North Pole. The next person that gave a talk was Paul Christopher. He said he couldn’t say every- thing that he wanted to say in 48 hours, let alone in five minutes, but he did say that he was a senator from the state of Kansas and that he still was a bachelor. Don Hurst was the next to make his speech. He didn’t say very much, only that he was a farmer, raising guinea pigs all these years, and that his love for Rosy ever flows. Now Walter Luedke was asked to talk. His speech sounded very interesting, as he had been the professor of Yale College for ten years, and he said that he had just about enough money to retire. Next, Virginia Williamson made her little talk and 1 certainly was glad to hear her voice again. Her speech was pitiful for she was a missionary and decided to be an old maid as Lawrence had deserted her. She had travelled all over Asia and Africa. The next person to talk was Brooke Hill. I knew who this was by his very familiar voice. He said that he was just as happy as could be, although he was only a ticket agent in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and that he had been married to Adella for many years. Frank Rush made so long a speech, that the announcer had to call time several times before he stopped. First, he said that he was a lawyer and that he believed, very strongly in com- panionate marriage, in fact he tried to advocate it over the radio. Then, too, he said he travelled all over the Un ted States making speeches, about divorces and marriages. Christina Vole stepped to the microphone. Her voice sounded just as faithful as it ever did when she attended Auburn High. She was a nurse in St. John’s Hospital for a t ine and then she was promoted to a hospital in Chicago. Her five minutes were soon up. so Lawrence Edwards, made his speech. He said he was very successful in acrobatics and that he had been with the Ringling Bros. Circus for many years; he also stated that he wouldn’t trade places in positions with the President of the United States. Then Helen Reynolds made her speech; she had been working in a beauty shop in Los Angeles ever since she left h'gh school. She also said that she remembers “The Physics Class’’ more than any other class that she was in, during her high school years. Rose Tranquilly came next to make her speech. She made a lot of noise as usual. She said that she was just as happy as ever and yes, she was a foli os girl in Hollywood; she also said that she was engaged to the Prince of Wales and that she was going to invite the Class of ’29 to her wedding. Just then the announcer said. M ss Tranquilly your five minutes are up.” He then called on Hurley Ping to talk next. Hurley said, “Well one thing my hair is just as curly as ever.” Then he began to tell how interesting it was to be the ambassador to Italy, and how one comes into contact with all kind of people. He also said than he was married for the third time and didn’t want to mention the names of the ladies. James McMurdo seemed very excited when he first started to talk; he told of the nice way he was treated by the people and after all was said and done, he was elected the mayor of Chatham. He said that he had reached the highest point of his ambition and that he is perfectly satisfied to stay in Chatham the rest of his life. William Woolsey was next called upon to make his speech. His voice seemed very familiar to me and he told how satisfied he was in being a football coach at Princeton University; he also stated that he had been married to a very beautiful Hawiian g'rl. He talked rather slow, therefore his time was up sooner than he expected; then the announcer called upon Louise Kramer. 1929 Seventeen (! lrr ($rarlr i V°uif. s,aitl thatL?h.e was an old maid and still a stenographer in New York. She explained that her highest ambition was to become the stenographer to the President of U. S. who was Clarence Allen at th s time. Clarence Allen next made his little talk, of course he had so much to say in five minutes that he had to talk very last. He said that he had first been the mavor of Auburn, then he was the senator of the State of Illinois, then he became Vice-President of U. S.. and now he was the President. He made the remark that he was still an old bachelor. illiam Butler was asked to speak next. He said that he was a ditch digger in Ch'cago; he couldnt find anything else while he was looking for a job so he took this. He was satisfied lor the time being but will not lx when he gets married next month. Thelma Gheen next came up; she told of her experiences in the wilds of South America She had been there several times with her husband while he was hunting there. One winter her husband was killed by wild beasts, so she was left a widow. After the death of her husband she became a stenographer. 1 he next to talk was Olin Greenwood: he gave a very interesting talk on how he had become the editor of the Chicago Daily News; he sa d, too, that he was the author of several new books just out on the market. Kenneth Lechrone was next called upon: he said that he is known in New York as the painless dentist. He also told how many people came to him; he was so busv that he used ten other dentists to help him, but of course they weren’t all painless. After this speech was made. Grover Pierson said. “Well every one has made their speech except Sylvia Homez and myself. Sylvia wrote a letter stating that she will not be able to be present to make a speech over the rad'o. as she is just recovering from a severe illness in Hongkong, China. In her letter she says that she has been enjoying life verv much at the American embassy in China and that she will be in the U. S. within the next few months. She also states that she will be listening to the radio during that time that these speeches are being given. As for me I don’t have anything special to say only that I am enjoying being a radio announcer. I thank you. and the next time that you want to hear me announce, tune in on N. U. T. S. —S. H. SENIOR CLASS POEM Yes. we’re the class of ’29. We’ll soon leave high school life behind We’ve all our knowledge of book lore. But we’ve many more lessons yet in store; Lessons learned as we travel through life. In this wide wide world of care and strife. We’ve to learn to spare and when to strike. ’Cause our friends and foes seem so much alike. We turn from school feeling free and glad. We may find those days were the best we had. We know not what the future may hold. But we launch our sli p with hearts that are bold. Let’s play our life like, we would a game. Fighting and smiling—always the same. If the score’s against us try harder, but grin. And we’ll show ’em we’re made of the stuff that can win. We give thanks to our teachers who have helped us prepare To make our way through this world by a way that is fair. And as Commencement Day draws nigh It will be with regrets that we say good-bye. —Louise Kramer.

If so, then I am sure you would sympathize with Henry Becker, cashier of the Farmers’ State Bank and the leading character in the Senior Class play. Six months before the play opens. Henry had occasion to go to Chicago to secure a loan from Montgomery Walsh, president of the Loan and Trust Co. While walk- ing down the street a beautiful young lady accosts him and asks him to accompany her into the notorious n’ght club. The Green Mill, in search for her cousin. He consents but while seated within, the young lady suddenly throws her hands over her face and rushes out. Henry turns to find Montgomery Walsh standing behind him. who asks him who the lady was. It was then that Henry told the lie that involved so many people and required so many explana- tions to set himself right in the opinion of Montgomery Walsh. For Henry said she was his wife. How he calls upon his friend. Valentine Scott, who can explain everything, to help him out of his difficulty; and the many compilations, which arise, constitute the plot of this most enjoyable play. The Seniors repeated this play at Chatham under the auspices of the Methodist Epworth League. A full house enjoyed it a second time and the Seniors were pleased with the cash returns.

Once there his father thinks it pretty good punishment for him and insists upon h's staying there. Here “Speedy meets Lois Meredith, the daughter of a wealthy bus ness man. She comes to the asylum to give a play for the inmates. She is kidnapped and rescued by “Speedy who for the first time shows that too much speed may after all prove a good thing. There is a mystery connected with the play. Evelyn Winslow, a very wealthy inmate and a dear friend to I ois, has lost her memory because her lover, who is a poor printer, has been reported dead. Her memory is restored when her lover. Edward, is brought before her. Hard-boiled McCafferty has quite an exciting t:me throughout the play, first in his chase for “Speedy” and afterwards in his search for the thieves who stole Evelyn’s jewels. On the whole this was a thoroughly enjoyable play and very well presented. Thirty-Otic (Eli? (Urarlr DRAMATICS “ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE, AND PEOPLE MERELY PLAYERS” The work in dramatics took a decided step forward under the capable direction and coaching of Miss Bernice Evans. Last year’s plan for a class in Publ c Speaking was carried on again this year with even better results. And, in addition, Miss Evans had a class in dramatics with free lessons in same open to the students. The result of her efforts became evident in the product'on of the Junior and Senior Plays given in the early spring. It is indeed to her credit that we heard it reported that Auburn has had no better plays previous to this time. The interpretation of parts was splendid in every case and undoubtedly Miss Evans ach’cvcd that one quality necessary to successful play production, namely, the desire to act for art’s sake. Busy as she was. Miss Evans had representatives at the Spring Literary Contests. On April 20th, at the contest sponsored by Milliken University, George Belle Fisher represented Auburn in the humorous declamation: Abbie Harms in the dramatic reading; and Raman Schlicht in oratory. On the same day at Athens where the sub-district to the State Literary Contest was held, the following students represented Auburn: Mary Elizabeth Brenner, humorous reading; Hilma Lorton, dramatic reading; Keith Seales, oration. And again on May 4th, at the County L terary meet held at Williamsville, Mary Elizabeth Brenner. Hilma l-orton and Raman Schlicht represented Auburn. The work done at all these places was sufficient proof that there is a place for dramatics in Auburn High School. All these students displayed real talent and have in their possession, through the medium of the training received, something that will always benefit them. In May, the dramat e class presented three one-act plays, which gave the under classmen an opportunity for training which will be a decided advantage when the time comes for the presentation of their Junior and Senior plays. The three one-act plays were: Station YYYY,” “Miss Civilization.” and “Mansons.” We cannot say too much in appreciation of Miss Evan’s efforts in this field of high school work. It is a credit to our High School to have a dramatic department doing act ve work throughout the year. 19 2 9 Thirty-Tivo a lie ©rurlr THE BAND Top row: Louis Kessler, Laurentis Ecker.

This is evidenced by the organization of our United States Band at Washington, which aroused interest in nat'onal affairs. If this is true in national affairs, how very essential it is in our high school affairs that we have a first class and efficient hand to help the high school student body. Imagine our games, football and basketball, this year without the part the band has played in winning the v’ctories. “Pep is the word that it’s members would emphasize, and the word they bring to the heart of every student through music. Much credit should also be given to the director, Mr. Joseph Sindelar. a man who is himself a musician of much talent. This band, forming a majority of the community band, gave two concerts :n the spring of the year. Classical selections, pomilar songs and group and solo numbers made up the program which was greatly enjoyed by all who attended. We feel that a greater degree of interest should be shown bv the community at large in an organization of this kind which is doing such splend'd work. The band hopes to accomplish even greater gains next year. 192a Thirty-Three U ltr ODrarW THE ORCHESTRA Top row: Helen Smith, Pianist; Laurentis Eckcr. Mr. Torrevson, Keith Seales. Florence Smith.

Mr. Sindelar. Leonora Olari. To the orchestra much credit is due for its valuable assistance to the success of class and organizational activit’es. What would we do without our orchestra? The original orchestra cons sted of sixteen instruments. It was not in vain that they practised every week, though only for one period. In the spring they began preparing for the contests, in which they found it necessary to play selected pieces against orchestra groups much larger than their own group. At the musical contest held at Athens on April 20th, they won first place against Waverlv, and represented the Class P� schools of Sangamon County at the Distr'ct Meet held at Normal, Illinois, on May 4th. We have every reason to believe that they will make just as good a showing there as they did in the sub-district meet. We hear that the boys are already talking of buying their tickets to Denver. Colorado, where the National Musical Contest will be held. Bel'eve it or not! We feel that the students who represented Auburn at these contests should received special mention. Those chosen by Mr. Sindelar to play in the contests w:ere: Helen Smith. Pianist: Evelyn Daugherty. Violin; Leonora Olari, Saxaphone: Allan Thomas. Flute: Keith Seales. Cornet; Louis Kessler, Clarinet; Fred Hummel. Trombone; Harry Fitzhugh, Drums. Needless to sav, no matter how much talent the students might possess, it would be lost d d thev not have an instructor to help them put it to practical use. Mr. Sindelar has worked many hours over time but without a doubt he feels repaid for his efforts when he sees the splendid showing the orchestra has made this year. 1 9 2 U Thirty-Four ©rarlr MUSIC AND WHAT WOULD THIS WORLD BE LIKE WITHOUT MUSIC? Although there is still much to lx done in the way of a well organized Music Department, we feel that this year saw the beginning of a very decided step towards interesting our students in music. Mr. Sindelar has had charge of the instrumental music of the high school and Miss Musser, the vocal music. With the money apportioned each group, music was purchased and definite pieces stud ed, learned and presented at various times before the public. The instru- mental groups have received mention on preceding pages so an account of the glee clubs, alone, is given here. The Girls Glee Club is one of the new musical organizations this year, and has experi- enced an unusually busy and successful year for 1928-29 considering the fact that th s is their first attempt. The club consists of a group of sixteen girls, many of them ix ssessing good singing voices and musical ability. Miss Musser directed the work and activities of the club and their response to her leadership has been splendid. The girls have appeared in concert before the Women’s Club, Parent Teachers Association, and high school audiences. An account of the operetta wh’ch they presented April 25th is given below. The start of any group of this kind is always the hardest part and a Girls Glee Club should become a permanent part of the outside activit es of Auburn High School.

The Bovs Glee Club found it difficult to maintain their existence due to the fact that so many of their members were engaged in other activities that demanded their attention and time from the glee club hour. However, the boys, part of them that is. managed to learn a little hit about the art and difficulties of reading octavo music. As with everything else there has to he a beginning and the bovs hone that greater interest will he taken in this work and enable them to have a real glee club and time allowed them for pract’ce next year. 1 9 2 0 Thirty-Five THE GIRLS GLEE CLUB Top row: Sarah Snell, Gertrude Campbell, Florence Smith, Helen Smith (pianist).

Thirty-Six 19 2 9 Ulbr (Drarlr 1929 Thirty-Seven j,hr (0rarlr THOMAS GILBERT, COACH Coach Gilbert came back to us for the third year and assumed a task which was a real test of his athletic ability. We feel that Gilly completed a very successful season, considering the material from which he was obliged to form a team. It seems to be Coach's hobby to try to make some- thing out of nothing, which he has never fa led to do. To many of us who understand the situation from first hand contact, it is a source of wonder just how Gilly achieved the football and basketball teams that he had this year. It must be that he has real ability; and we know that he has splendid leadership for he is a friend to every Auburn athlete. 1928 FOOTBALL SQUAD ERNEST “ERNIE” PRICCO, Captain, Center Ernie was captain and played as center on the team. He also d d the punting. We are mighty glad that Ernie has one more year to play and prove his capacity as center. He handles the ball well under any condition. WILLIAM “FLETCHO” WOOLSEY. Tackle Woolsey is one of the players who leaves our ranks this year. He always played a good hard game at tackle and rarely missed his man. He will indeed be missed next year. SHERWOOD “BONE” HELMS, Tackle Coach found Sherwood able to play not only guard but tackle and in the latter capacity he worked out a very good game considering his lack of experience. FRANK “SCOTTIE” WHEELER, Half-back Scotty was one of the reasons that made the linemen move up and down the field. Not only was he a fast runner but he used his brain in hitting the line and running and dodging. He ought to prove a valuable man next year. PAUL “PAPPY” CHRISTOPHER. End Paul made the most of his last year at playing football, and because of his exper ence played a good game at end. WOODROW “BUD” HINES. Quarterback We can’t deny that Bud was a light player, but he made up for what he lacked in weight by his determination to do his part. He should prove to be splendid help for next year s team. 19 2 9 Thirty-Right (Thr GJrarlr 1928 FOOTBALL SQUAD—Continued JOSEPH “PENNY” NICHOLLS. Half-back Joe worked out as a very good half-back. His plays helped in preventing Auburn from being run over too badly throughout the season. He has two more years to help Auburn’s team. RUDOLPH RUDY” PRESKER. Half and Full-back Rudy played half-back until Basch'eri quit and then he played full-back. He made con- sistent gains throughout his playing and could hit the line hard considering his weight. ARTHUR “ART” KINKADE, Half-back and End Art came to us from Chatham, and though new material in a sense. Coach was glad to get him to play at half and end during the entire season. WILLIAM “FRITZ” BUTLER. Guard Another fellow from Chatham who lent the Coach valuable assistance. Fr'tz played very well at guard but was handicapped by excessive nose bleed ng. Nevertheless, he was efficient in blocking the opponent’s advances. JOHN “BIG FOOT” FRANKIE. Guard Frankie is one of the two Frosh to win a letter this year. He developed into an excep- tionally good guard for his experience and we are look ng forward to even better returns from him next year. FRANK “NUCK” NUCKOLLS, End And speaking of Freshmen, here is another that gives promise of good material in the next three years. Frank played at end and worked out a very nice game for a beginner. 1929 Thrty-Nine (ihr (Drarlr KDWAHI) h. McCORMICK Athletic Manager One of the hardest positions to fill, In close connection with our athletic activities, is that of Athletic Manager. Not only is it a matter of working out the schedules for the football and basketball seasons, but also the re- rponslbility of making the athletic season pay for itself. During the past year this position has again been filled by Mr. McCormick who made his repu- tation for successful business manage- ment in past years. Just how he does it we do not know but again Mac has brought us through the year In fine shape. Much more could be done if we had the undivided support of the community of Auburn at our athletic events. The students are part of this community and should be and are en- titled to all the help they can get to boost them at their games. The stu- dents appreciate the help Mac gives them and extend to him their sincere thanks. 1928 FOOTBALL SQUAD—Continued LAWRENCE “SLEW” EDWARDS, Guard and Tackle Edwards, though inexperienced, broke into enough games this season to w n his letter. He alternated at guard and tackle and played a good game at both. He graduates this year. BROOKE “BROOKIE” HILL, Center and Guard Brooke was again Ernie’s right-hand man, alternating at center and guard. We are sorry to loose Brooke this year. FRANK “CYCLONE” RUSH, Quarter and Half-back Rush was another light man but made up this deficiency by knowing his football thoroughly. He is a fast, snappy player and his departure from our ranks means a real loss to the 1929 squad. WAYNE “WAYNIE” WILLIAMS, Guard Wayne was new mater al this year, but will surely be one of the regulars next year: for in this one year he gained both experience and a letter. HARRY “LIGHT HORSE” FITZHUGH. End Harry is another of this season’s so-called light men who should make the regular team next year. He made the most of his ability whenever he was called upon to play. JULIE “GHETTO” CACCAITORI. Half-guard Julie is a Sophomore and is working into a real player already. At present he is under weight, but was not only a fast player but also right there on the defense. —— — — — — — 1929 Forty She (0rarIr i 19 2 9 Forty-One (Hir GJrarlr THE 1928-29 BASKETEERS WILLIAM “FLETCHO” WOOLSEY, Captain, Guard Woolsey was one of Auburn’s stellar guards and made his share of the points. He was a real addition to the team and h's place will be a hard one for anyone to fill for the coming year. ERNEST “ERNIE” PRICCO, Center. Guard Ernie played a good game at either center or guard and displayed much style all his own in his plays. Ernie’s middle name is team-work and Auburn needs more men with that quality on her team. WOODROW “BUD” HINES, Forward Bud was one of the fastest and surest men on the team. He knew how to cooperate and developed into a fairly accurate player. KEITH “PUSS” SEALES. Forward Ke th and Scottie tied for first honors when it came to who was the fastest man on the team. Much credit is due Keith for the splendid support he gave the team, and with two more years to go, he will undoubtedly prove a valuable asset to the team. JOSEPH “PENNY” NICHOLLS, Center, Forward Joe was a better defensive than offensive player. He could get the tip off from many a taller opponent. He has two more years in which to prove his worth. FRANK “SCOTTIE” WHEELER, Guard Scotty was a veritable whirlwind in guarding and going down the floor. It was a pleasure to watch his plays and we are glad to say he has another year to help Auburn in her basketball season. ROBERT “BOB” HOKE, Guard Bob developed into a good guard. Many persons commented favorably on his style of shooting balls. He will find a place waiting on the team next year if he holds his present place. HARRY “LIGHT HORSE” FITZHUGH, Forward Harry was another of the fast forwards and could he relied on to make his share of the points. Glad you’re back again, Harry. LOUIS “KESS” KESSLER, Forward Kess was an experienced player like Bob Hoke, but worked into a very nice player by the end of the season which promises some further assistance from him next year. Forty-Two 19 2 9 u;lu' (0rarlr 1929 BASKETBALL TEAM Top row: Harry Fitzhugh, Bob Hoke, Coach Gilbert, Louis Kessler, Joseph Nickolls, Bud Hines. Second row: Frank Wheeler, Keith Seales, William Woolsey, Ernest Pricco. Frank Rush. This has been a very promising team. They promised to win the games but never kept their promise—as yet. However, perhaps they are not entirely to blame for there is no doubt but what they were green material. After this year’s training they should give opposing teams something to think about. We hope Coach Gilbert is not disappointed in h's team next year and that they work out like old veterans at the game. 192 9 Forty-Three i,hr (Oracle HOMER C TORREYSON Track Coach Little did Torrey (or any of us, in fact ) think that the successful close of the 1928 track season was the end of his track work at A. T. H. S. Taken away from us, as he was in a sense, we are more anxious than ever to call back to mind the account of his last season of work among us. Torrey was quick to see the possibilities that lay in the students of Auburn High and every spring saw him out on the green with his men. Always unas- suming but conscientious in his work, Torrey, year after year, worked out a fine track squad. Last year was no exception and we found the following line-up entering the field for practice: THE 1928 TRACK TEAM Herman “Jason” Newman, Mile. Kendall “Nick” Nickolls. Dash Relay. Joseph Penny Nickolls, Dash Relay. John “Emmet” Mottar, Pole Vault, 440 Relay. Orlando “Banty” Lorton. Half-mile. Du way tie “Squint” Andrews. Hop, Step, and Jump. Broad Jump. Victor “Red” Psaute, Hurdles. Frank “Frankie” Dolence, Shotput, Discus, Javelin. Jake “Spiz” Vole, High Jump. Joseph “Joe Herron, Relay. Forty-Four 19 2 9 Shp (Qrarlr 19 3 9 Forty-Five Gertrude Campbell Leonora Olari Alice Vole “A” STUDENTS If there is any one thing that should he emphasized n high school it is scholarship. For that reason, we had a scholarship contest open to all the students of the high school and one which lasted throughout the first semester. It is surprising to note that, though a good number of students attain a grade of “A” in one subject or perhaps two, verv few make an average of “A.” Perhaps it would he interest ng to our readers to learn that a grade of “A.” in numerical figures, gives a student a grade of between 95-100%. In other words, a student has to have nearly 100% of his work correct in order to he classed as an A” student. This means work. Xot just completing the minimum amount of work assigned hut doing all of that and then going farther to gain information relative to the work. Onlv three students came through the first semester with an average of “A. They are: Gertrude Campbell, Senior; Leonora Olari. Sophomore; and Alice Vole, Freshman. To them we give especial commendation for the splendid record they have made for themselves which is in itself a credit to the high school. We could write pages in an attempt to describe the qualities of these three girls that enables them to obtain so high a record, and yet we would not come any nearer to the truth than is revealed by this simple line: “Energy and persistence conquer all things.” 1929 (Utr (Orarlr Brooke Hill Agnes Pohlod POPULARITY STUDENTS In order to arouse interest in the sale of our annuals and to set in motion some class spirit, the Seniors dee ded to hold a popularity contest to determine “Hoo’s Hoo” in Auburn High School. Of course only two—one boy and girl—could be chosen as the most popular in the school, so the Freshman and Junior and the Sophomore and Senior classes worked together, each class choosing one person to represent it. The Freshmen chose the boy for their team. Laurentis Fcker: and the Juniors chose the girl. Agnes Pohlod. From the Sophomore Class Helen Smith was chosen: and Brooke Hill from the Senior Class. There were three events through which votes could be secured: The Carnival, the Scholarship Contest, which was run the second six weeks of school: and the sale of Annuals. At the Carnival given by the Seniors on the evening of October 26. a prize of 500 votes was awarded to the one of the four students who had the best costume and general make-up. There was a tie for first place so Helen Smith and Brooke Hill each received five hundred votes. Penny votes were sold and votes were also given to all who came to the carnival in behalf of the contestants for the Popularity Contest. In the Scholarsh’p Contest votes were awarded to the four students having the highest averages in their second six-weeks’ work. They had the privilege of giving their votes to whatever contestant they chose. To all students having A and B grades was given a certain number of votes. In the last event, the Annual sale, any student selling Annuals received per Annual so many votes wh'ch were given to whatever candidate they saw fit. The number of votes rose to high in the thousands; and excitement was keen. On the last day of the contest a large crowd of students could be seen standing around watching the results which were posted on a scale similar to a thermometer. No one could be sure who would win until the last minute when a new flood of votes gave the victory to Agnes Pohlod .and Brooke Hill, whose pictures are shown above. 19 2 9 I'orty-Sez'Ci; Cl hr QDrarlr [ VIVIAX YELDELL English Size doesn't count much with us.” Illinois College, A.

It was no easy thing to fill Miss Newlin’s place, but wc were not long in realizing that we were very fortunate, especially at such an inop- portune time of the year, in secur ng someone as capable as Miss Yeldell has proven to be.

It is sort of hard though to settle down after three months vacation. Instead of figures we see fishing poles and swimming holes, and lots of gorgeous days gone to waste. And the teachers! Poor Freshies have no peace. It’s: “Get out of here” or “March yourself to your own class.” But the first two weeks are the hardest, and with the opening of the football season school takes on a different aspect. And of course the weiner roasts help out a lot. I have kindly over-looked the faculty, but will have tc admit that given a chance they aren’t so bad— that is out of school.

In school the Freshies have fallen into the even tenor of school activities. The annual staff is organized under the direction of Miss Musser. Aside from our studies which are always important to us??? football reigns supreme. Most of the football games are played th's month and we gave Pawnee a nice trimming. Our team worked hard and this year’s new material should prove to be dyed-in-the-wool veterans for the 1929 football season. The teachers declared an Institute day this month, we don’t know just why unless they thought that we needed a rest. We didn’t raise a fuss about it but we certainly did celebrate the 30th of October as you might guess. However no harm was meant. 1 9 2 U Sixty-Seven (Mir (DrarU SUN NOVEMBER MO N TUE5MED.THUR5FR I.

(Till u Attjmd) SAX AoBuHM JO JJ NOVEMBER Yum, yum! Wasn't that Thanksgiving dinner good? But say, I’m geting ahead of the schedule of events. Excuse me, please. Do you remember what happened on the nite of November 1st? Well, we had a bg carnival out at the High School. And say, we had a lot of fun. And do you remember what happened the 6th of November? That’s when our new Presi- dent. Herbert Hoover, was elected by a big majority. Plenty of excitement that day and we had a pretty good radio program out at school. About the next thing that happened was the Illinois State Teachers Convention at Cham- paign. The teachers reported a good time and said that the shows in Champaign were no better than those in Springfield. This month saw the close of the football season, which gives promise of a good team nexf year. And now I have come to Thanksgiving day, but I have eaten so much that I can’t talk any more so au revoir. 19 2 9 Sixty •Eight olhr ODrarlr DECEMBER DECEMBER We are now on the last lap of our first semester’s work. Something must he in the air for the l.ttle Freshies’ faces are fairly beaming. Wonder what the excitement is? The Seniors are very busy trying to get in to the engravers something or other that has to do with their annual. Miss Musser s face wears a smile once more after December 15th, only they say either that or the flu was what put her to bed for a few days. Now we know what ails the Freshies—Xmas is almost here and they have their stockings all ready for Santa Claus to fill with the toys that they want, bless their hearts. Santa was pretty g x d to one of the Sen'ors, at any rate she is wearing a new diamond which looks pretty good for the lucky man, but bad for us. 1 9 2 U Si.vty-.Xin-: ' a hr (Orarie JANUARY 5LI h J.MDN.TUES WED.THUR5 i.FRI. 5AL. tveRv BoOy n4 AUny Wishes to A sery FPy w i fAif M SS AluSScr orders h r- b� o 'ASsemAJ d To J Clean hot ne £ye t 0 u T Wc’rt CrlSd TtifZ 5 f-ri 0 y j 4- Civ per Trtchrt tiv.es one E i' j o 5 T. iVVv Junior Ploy C s t f vc - U ko Wouldn't 06 C IAty?- ■ -2, Auburn- £ Ds C In t'.’t S r we 7«� � T. fJS.o u Wj ver I hs AuBorin -1 P % 's' f Iso ) 0� Art rrr cue V r4tn ix Au burn - It TO ERA ! � .

This would be a pretty good old world if we weren’t so sleepy and if final exams for the first semester were not looming in the immediate future. If ever the students carry home books it is now. For after all we do want to pass. So it is up to us to do a little cramm'ng, for as it is when our semester cards go home, there’s more than a few that will think, “Papa will spank. But it isn't all so bad as that. Our basketball season has started and we are seeing some pretty good games this season. The Seniors arc especially elated to think that they are really and truy started on the final lap of their h gh school education and are already beginning to plan for future days And we’re willing to bet that not a few of them are going to dread the day that sees the finish of their time with us. Here’s wishing you good luck, Seniors! Seventy 1923 (Ebr ©rarlr FEBI RY 6 at E FRI. 5 AT a O £UA S� «S ?� i.T IN! 2 ) TVuLOMn Gr.

Here we are celebrating all kinds of birthdays among them being that of our beloved Lincoln and the Father of our county, George Wash- ington. And we’re not forgetting St. Valentine’s Day when a bunch of tight people give their hearts away. The Juniors gave their play th's month and a mighty good one it was. too. Poor Miss Evans has her hands about full for she no sooner finished with the Junior Play than she started the Seniors on their play. It’s a good thing that this is a short month for we sure are getting tired of going to school—seems as though the teachers never get Fred of giving tests and being aggravating in general. But maybe we’ll thank them some day for all they have done for us. Another Bug House Fable. 19 2U Seventy-One She (0rarU DAY BY DAY MARCH 1. Auburn plays at basketball with Girard. We’ve no record of the score! 2. Six weeks exams are almost over. One down and two to go. 5. Seniors start contest in which diamond ring is given to the student selling the most Oracles. 7-8-9. District Basketball Tournament. 11. Girls Glee Club starts work on operetta, “The Wild Rose.” From the medley of sounds issuing from the music room we don’t believe we shall find time to go to hear it. 12-14. Inter-Sunday School Basketball Tournament. Who you betting on? Much rivalry between the Presbyterians and Advents. 15. Katherine Hatcher wins the Diamond Ring Contest by selling 14 Oracles. Thank you Kate. 16. Sunday School Basketball Tournament ends with the Advents in possession of the cup which is to be in their hands for one year. 19. The band, consisting of both high school and town members give a concert for the public. We have reason to be proud of our band. 22. The teachers enjoy their Spring Institute at Springfield and also report that the shows were about average for this particular week end. 26. The Seniors give their play, I’ll Expla’n Everything.” And we guess they did. They had the largest house that Auburn High School has seen for many a year. This fact didn’t worry them. 29-30-31. Hip. Hip, Hooray! Spring Vacation. The teachers leave for parts unknown and the students breathe a sigh of relief. APRIL 1. You will try to fool me, will you? 2. The band give another concert at the High School. The program was excellent, more’s the p ty that so few of our town people came to hear and enjoy it. Let’s back our school better next year. 8. And still the girls practise for their operetta. When did you say this would be? 11-12. Oh, those awful exams! Will they never be over? Most of the Seniors are rejoicing because these are their last. 15. We don’t see much of Mr. Davis these days. Big Rotary affair in Springfield is keeping him away. Gilly sees that things keep going. 20. Sub-district Meet at Athens. And Milliken University Meet at Decatur. Auburn students n Declamation. Oratory go to both places. The Orchestra wins first place at Athens. 25. The operetta. The Wild Rose” is presented at the American Theater by the Girls Glee Club. A full house enjoyed the pretty picture that the girls made in their pink colored smocks and the 500 pink roses which were used. 30. The Seniors repeat their play at Chatham. The Methodist Epworth League sponsored the play and the Seniors owe them many thanks for their help. MAY 2. I) d you say this was May? It seems more like February for we were blessed with a regular winter blizard which lasted several hours. Wonders never cease. 3. County Literary Meet and Track Meet held at Williainsville. School dismissed for the day so students can attend the meet. 4. County Stenography Contest held at Springfield. Also the District Literary and Musical Contest is held at Normal. Illino's. Our Orchestra goes there and I’m sorry that I can’t tell you for sure that we won but I am writing this on May 4th and this d---- Annual has to go to press today. But the boys are already planning on their trip to Denver where the National Musical Contest will be held. 6. The Seniors feel relieved to know that their Annual is in to the printers. Now they are wondering what it will look like. 7. Senior invitations have arrived. Commencement must not be far off. 17. Senior exams are given to those whose fate is hanging n the balance. All this calendar seems to be about is concerning Senior events, but they will soon leave us. 19. Baccalaureate. The Rev. Sidney Stringham gives the class sermon. 21. Senior Class Day Program. 1929 Oracles given out and the Seniors will their valuables to the under classmen. 24-25. F’nal exams. Our worries are at last over and the old school is closed once more for a period of three months. 24. COMMENCEMENT AND DIPLOMAS. GOOD-BYE EVERYBODY AND GOOD LUCK. 19 2 9 Seventy •Two (Elie (0rarU AS THE STAFF SEES IT When the last of the pictures are pasted. And the last of the copy is sent. When the last page of proof is cor- rected, And our last red penny is spent; We shall rest, and faith, we shall need it. We shall sleep for a week or two, We shall star once more in our classes. And study the whole week through. Then no one shall shrink at our coming For pictures that haven’t been made, And the couples we asked for pictures Shall spoon once more unafraid! Our brows no more shall be furrowed With lines of worry and care— And we’ll rest from our weary labors With t ine enough and to spare. We’ll swear by all that is holy That we’ll never again he caught Trying to publish a blamed old book That doesn’t pan out as it ought. We’ll seek no more for the glory That goes with an Editor’s name: But we’ll be content if our days are spent In other paths of fame. 192 1 Seventy-Three ultr OJrarlr THE ALUMNI CLASS OF 1917 Duncan Barbee.
