Gibe (Urarlr HISTORY OF CLASS OF ’29 Another class has passed the portals of the Auburn Township High School. 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.
