A serious attempt is made to get a true cross-section of the school curricul- um, in its academic, athletic, and social functions. The Trojan is published each year by the Senior Class. The book is sold to the students at a nominal fee, with the Seniors bearing most of the expense. The 1951 Trojan had as its ed- itor, Norma Jane Ackerman, with Doris Anne King as assistant editor, and Mr Carl Rolando as faculty advisor. 7 He mian Re nice n. Vice-President uharles Johnson President Barbara Vole Secretary-Treasurer Seniors The class of '51 now looks back over four fruitful years of study, work, and fun at Auburn High. It's hard to believe that four years can have passed so very quickly. The Senior class was placed under the able leadership of Charles Johnson, president; Herman Renken, vice-president; and Barbara Vole, secretary-treasurer. Miss Frances Stevens and Mr. Carl Rolando were the class sponsors. At the beginning of the year the class had twenty-five members, but with the addition of W.C. Sergeant, a trans- fer student, it increased to twenty-six. The class also had the honor of having Hubert Wilhelm, an exchange student from Bavaria, Germany, as one of its members. Several seniors received special recognition during the year. Doris Ann King was elected District Secretary of the Pekin District of Student Councils. James Kopp and Charles Johnson were Co-captains of the 1950 football team that shared the M3M Conference Championship. Both boys were also picked as All-Conference team men. Among the activities sponsored by the class in its drive toward fin- ancial security included a paper drive, participation in the Homecom- ing festivities, concessions at the basketball games. Senior play, and the carnival. The plans for senior skip-day still are incomplete, but a good time is a certainity, since the im- portant item, food, is sure to be plentiful. With mixed emotions of joy and sadness, the seniors plan for Bacc- alaureate, Commencement, and the Prom—activities which end student days at Auburn High School 9 Jane Ackerman Band 2,5 4,(Pres.); Chorus 1,2,5,4; Minstrel Show 1,2,5; Off the Track 5; Commerical 1,5,4; G.A.A. 1,2,5,4; F.H.A. 1,2,5,4; Yearbook 3,b; Speech 4; Music Club l,2,5,4,(Treas.); Office Ass't.5 Bob Austin Track 2,5; Yearbook 4; Commercial 4; Dramatics Club 4.

At the first class meeting the following officers for the year were elected; Jerry Mac Donald, president; Marvin Moose, vice-president; and Frances Rut- koski, secretary-treasurer. Miss Betty Lee Drake and Mr. Morris V. Heiderscheid -were the faculty spon- sors. Early in the year the juniors lost a member of the class when Clarence Carter was killed in an automobile accident. The juniors and seniors had their yearly hayride together at Lake Springfield this year- and exactly how they got there admit- tedly is a problem to many of the group. The Class had the honor of having the President of the Pekin District Student Council, Jerry MacDonald, as a member. Marvin Moose was appointed Treasurer. Almost Summer was chosen for the play and was presented on Wednesday, November 22, the first play to be stag- ed in the new gymnasium. Fund raising consisted of selling stationery, working the basketball con cessions with the seniors, participation in the carnival, stunt show, and the homecoming festivities. The year was climaxed by the ann- ual Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom on May 12. The class is now eagerly a- waiting next year when the members will be the big men on the campus of Auburn High School.

After a few days of getting settled in new clubs, classes, etc., we held an election of class officers. The officers for the year were John Money, president; John Evans, vice-president; and Bob Chiti, secretary -treasurer. Pat Harris was elected a team cheerleader and Bar- bara Nardi was elected B team cheer- leader. Miss Gresham was the advisor. Remembering the hayride that had been given for us our Freshman year, we decided that we should give the new Freshies one, too. A few weeks later the hayride was held. Both classes were well represented and everyone who attended enjoyed it. This year the Sophomore class, after much work, won second place in the Homecoming Parade vrith their float. Xts theme, which was We Can Lick 'Em , was displayed between two giant-colored suckers bearing the Nokomie colors. In the annual football banquet the Sophomore class was well repres- ented. Don McAfee, Tom Handy, Jay Lorton, Gavin MacMurdo, and Bob Ser- geant won major football letters, while Bob Chiti and John Evans won minor letters.

The year saw the Freshmen enrollment go to forty-seven which is above the average for each class at Auburn High. With a certain amount of dread the class entered Auburn High School to begin a new adjustment in school life. Roger Kendall was elected pres- ident, and to serve with him Tony LeFevre and Martha Glark were elect- ed vice-president and secretary- treasurer, respectively. Miss Ruth Coultas was faculty sponsor. The first big event in which the freshmen participated was the Homecoming parade. The float was built, after a fashion, in Herron's garage. A prize was not expected, bo of all the class, no one was dis- appointed. Live and learn. Other events for freshmen in- cluded a hayride and weiner roast, carnival concessions, and the big stunt show. Everyone had a good time. Two of the class members, Roy Swain and Bud Grossner, received football awards. Roy's was a varsity award, and Bud'8 a minor one. With the year of 1950-1951 now nearly over, the class looks forward with anticipation, rather than dread, to the coming school year when it will become the all-knowing sophomores. Watch us then! 20 Sue Easley Raymond Edmiston Phyllis Eldridge Earl Eliason Jreshnxen Rayvella Austin Arnold Barnes Louis Banswell Donald Brandon Donald Butler Cecelia Carmondy Steve Costa Patricia DeHeve Walter Dozier !

It is made up of the president and vice-president of each class, and a member elected from the school at large, plus any District off- icer. Miss Riemer is the faculty advisor. This year the council has been very active. On November 4, 1950, Charles Johnson, Tony LeFevre, Herman Renken, Hubert Wilhelm, Doris King, Jerry Me Donald, Marvin Moose, and John Evans attended the district convention at Macomb. Jerry McDonald was elected district president for Pekin District. Later, four of the members the State Convention at Chicago.

In every homecoming much success depends upon the outcome of the footcail game, and the Trojana won this from Nokomls, 1 -1J. The game was followed by a dance in the new gym whicn also was climaxed by the crowning of Helen Grider as queen. Bobbie Kay furnished tne music for the dance. homecoming is a relatively new adventure for Auburn, this being tne second, but it was a huge success, and promises to get larger and larger each year. The Future Fanners of America are a very active group, participating in school, community, and chapter activ- ities. The officers of the club for this year were: President, Ronald Barnes; ' ice-president, Robert Burton; Sec- retary, Jim Dozier; Treasurer; Cecil Newberry; Reporter, Jerry MacDonald; Watch-Dog, Marvin Moose; and Advisor, M.7.

In the agriculture field, the livestock, grain, and poultry teams received a ratings, and the dairy team received a B rating. In September seven of the boys marketed their livestock at the St. Louis Market Day Show. The chapter received third prize in the Homecoming Parade. Of special interest this year was the welcoming of Hubert Wilhelm, from Bavaria, Ger- many, into the chapter. He was very active and it is hoped he has taken fond memories back to Germany with him. Still on the fire for the year were the Parents-Sons Banquet, FFA Ball, FFA-FHA party, and several judging contests.

Heiderscheid shoved the group how to operate the Argus C$ camera of the school's. Each member was taught how to run the school projector. In time the members will be shown how to process kodak film and print film. The members will be given some in- structions on how to take flash-bulb pictures, color pictures, both indoors and outdoors. Since this is its first year the Camera club was not as active as it would like to have been, but in the years to come it is hoped that the camera club will be a source of great pleasure and knowledge to the students of Auburn High School. It is a fine club to belong to in developing a hobby. Cramer a L. to R. Seated: Delores Pierson, Hubert Wilhelm, John Evans, Audrey Kendall, M.V.

The 19?0 football season saw the Auburn Trojan win their first M. S. M. conference title since 19 2. However, the Trojans had to settle for a three-way tie with Virden and Nokomis. Under the tutelage of Coach Fred Bradshaw and his assistant, John Richmond, Auburn won four and lost one in conference play, and had six wins against three losses for the seasons record. The inest game of the year was Auburn's 18-1J Homecoming win over a highly tauted Nokomis power-house. Speed was Auburn's greatest asset with Handy and McAfee, the speed merchants. Johnson, at fullback, supplied the power, and Tabacchi, at quarter, did the throwing.
