Mr. Abshire, whose excellent coaching ability was especially displayed in the Sectional Tournament, has been coach- ing Aurora teams eight years. During this time he has led the Red Devils to the state once, and to the regional three times. This is the second year Katherine Price has coached the girls' team. Her coaching talent was shown in the fact that the girls lost only one game this year, even though five of last year's first team girls were lost through graduation. Qlheer Erahvrz Two little boys, Harley Cosby and Ed. Armstrong, were teamed up to lead yells at all Red Devils combats. As they are Freshics, they still have opportunities to show their pep and vim at many forthcoming games. ED and HARLEY -G' - 4- to 1931 -2- 1:- -- BOREALIS - Zllall Athletirz SPEEDBALL Speedball again reigned as the fall athletic sport. The squad, composed of Cotton, Block, Armstrong, Heaton, Miller, Horton, Buchanan, Baker, Parker, Draper, Sutton, Ross, Clause, Rice, Jehn. Honchell, Laker and Small, made up one of the best teams in southeastern indiana. They won the league championship by defeating Moores Hill, Dills- boro, Lawrenceburg, and Batesville in succession. ln the first league game, Aurora defeated Moores Hill 2l-l. Aurora's dazzling passwork had the Moores Hill eleven completely baffled. Dillsboro was the Abshiremen's next victim. This game, played at Dillsboro, was easily won by the Red Devils by the score of 20-4. The next game brought together the Tigers and the Red Devils. Aurora continued to show their superiority when they defeated the strong Lawrenceburg team by a I5-8 score. The last game was played at Batesville. The Bulldogs fought hard and gave the Red Devils a real battle. The game ended with Aurora leading l2-l0. Batesville relied mostly on their kicking, while Aurora depended entirely on their pass work.

Upon the graduation of last year's strong team, the outlook of the team this year was somewhat gloomy. However, after a slow start much improvement was shown as the season advanced. Such strong teams as Madison, Batesville, Rising Sun and Milan fell by the wayside. It was a sad ending when the Red Devils bowed to the Tigers in the Sectional, but due to the excellent playing of the Abshiremen, this game will long be remembered by local fans. -:- -:- 1931 -4- -:- ' BOREALIS -'- Svummarg nf Bumps Moores Hill-The Red Devil's first opponent this year was Moores Hill. The Aurora quintet defeated them by a 44-I4 score. This game was played at the Greendale Community Hall. Vevay-The Red and Green were hitting the hoop from far out on the floor and the Red Devils were downed by 20-l 3 score. Versailles-Versailles came to the local gym with a strong team. They gained a l2-l I decision, the margin coming in the last minute. Liberty-Aurora journeyed to Liberty, and was defeated by the score 22-l2. Liberty jumped into the lead in the first quarter, and from then on the game was played on even terms. Rising Sun--The Shiners invaded the local court with a team of vet- erans and registered a 25-Zl victory. Holton-The Holton team, although having the advantage in height, was outclassed by the Red Devils. The final score was 4l-2 7. Lawrenceburg-The Tigers met and defeated the Red Devils at the local gym. l..awrenceburg's team of veterans easily outclassed the Red Devils, and won by a 39-l 7 score. Hughes-Aurora met Hughes at the U. C. gym, and was downed by the score of 32-20. Hughes boasted of a very strong team and easily controlled the tip-off. Littleford-Aurora played heads-up basketball and the results were a 22-20 victory over the business men. Woodward-The Cincinnati lads came to Aurora with a team of big boys, and after a hard, interesting game, the Red Devils were defeat- ed by a one point margin. The score was 28-27. Norwood-The Indians were hitting with great regularity, and the Red Devils were sent home on a short end of a 48-27 victory. - -:- -:- 1931 - 4- 4- 5+ BOREALIS - 'I SUMMARY OF GAMES fContinuedl Rising Sun-Aurora journeyed to Rising Sun, and defeated them by a 22-Zl score. Cotton's eye for the basket was an outstanding factor in' this game. ' ' Madison-The Cubs came to Aurora with a fast team, but could not shake off the jinx which the Red Devils hold over them. Buchanan's siicle shot saved the day for Aurora and gave the Abshiremen a 28-27 victory. v Lawrenceburg--Aurora invaded the Tiger camp and was defeated by a 33-32 score. Milan-The Indians invaded the local court, and found the Red Devils hitting the hoop without difficulty. The results were a 45-I9 victory for the Abshiremen.

X Western Hills-Wes'ern Hills came from behind late in the third quarter, and defeated the Red Devils by a 32-26 score. Brookville-ln the last scheduled game, Aurora downed the Brook- ville quintet by a 4l-20 count. BLIND TOURNEY-AT LAWRENCEBURG A Blind Tourney was held at Lawrenceburg with Batesville, Rising Sun, Aurora, and Lawrenceburg competing. Lawrenceburg and Batesville tangled in the first game, and after playing on even terms the greater part of the contest, the Tigers forged ahead, and coasted to a I9-I 6 victory. Rising Sun and Aurora then met and after a hard, thrilling battle, the Red Devils bowed to the shiners in a game which was decided in an oyertime period. The finals brought the Shiners and the Tigers together, Lawrence- burg easily winning by a Zl-I0 score. .,1S1,,.. 1931 - . -5- 4- 1 - BOREALIS - Svrrtinnnl Enurnnment The sectional tourney was held at Lawrenceburg, with ten teams fighting for the honor of representing this section at Rushville. Aurora drew Moores Hill as their first round opponents, and easily disposed of them. The score was 36-22. The Red Devils never were threatened at any time in the contest. ln the semi-finals the Red Devils met their old rivals, the Tigers. Lawrenceburg virtually was the heavy favorite to defeat the Red Devils because of their two overwhelming victories in scheduled games. The game was exciting from the time the opening whistle blew until the gun sounded to end the contest. Aurora jumped into an early lead and were four points ahead of their rivals at the end of the first quarter. Late in the first half the Newgentmen rallied to grab a one-point lead at the intermission. The Tigers continued with their rally early in the second half, but the Red Devils came right back fighting even harder-, and were leading at the end of the third quarter by a score of 26-22. The last quarter was full of thrills and chills as one team would be in the lead and the other would overcome it. With the score 30-29 in favor of the Tigers, Draper, the Aurora center, sank one from far out on the floor to give Aurora a one point lead with one minute to go. The Red Devils then began to stall, and due to a bad break, Lawrenceburg gained posses- sion of the ball on an out of bound play, and Albright, the Lawrenceburg forward, swished the net to give the Tigers a 32-31 decision over the Fighting Red Devils. The Aurora line-up was Ross and Baker, forwards: Draper, center: Sutton and Armstrong, guards. Each of these boys fought hard to bring victory to their school, but lady luck turned against them, and the results were a one point defeat. To Ross. a Senior, who had been a substitute up until the sectional tourney, goes the honor of having made the all-sectional team. l-lin good playing both on the offense and defense will long be remembered by all the fans. Armstrong, the other Senior, who played in this same, also showed up well at guard. and his playing was an outstanding factor. The three Juniors, Draper, Baker, and Sutton, have another crack at the Tigers. l..et's hope they make good use of it, by defeating the Lawrenceburg quintet next SCHSOH. -0- - 4- 1931 2- 4- s BOREALIS Uhr Gram 1931 'G' ' 'F' BOREALIS 4' 'C' Uhr Svquah BAKER-Forward: Baker led the team in scoring.

His brilliant playing both on the offense and defense was outstanding. He was placed on the all-sectional team. PARKER-Forward : Skick would often fool the opponents with his bacl-1 hand passes.

There were sixteen teams entered, twelve from the four High School classes and four from junior High. Each one of the four High School Classes had at least one good team. After hard, difficult battles, all teams fell by the way-side but the Junior A and the Senior B teams. These two teams met in the finals, and after a hotly contested battle the Senior quintet carried off all honors, winning by a score of l9-IS. GIRLS' TOURNEY The Girls' Class Tourney was run on a percentage basis. There were five teams entered in the race, one from each of the four High School Classes and one from Junior High. The Juniors annexed the Tourney by defeating all opponents. The most exciting game of the Tourney was the Junior-Senior clash. The Juniors won after a hard battle.

Upon the graduation of Moore, the mainstay of last year's pitching staff, it looked as though the hurling department would be weak, but with Milner, the second string moundsman of last year, and Brandt, a Sophomore, who are sharing the mound duty, the pitching department will be capable of pitching many good games. With Jehn, Jones and Hoffmeyer, on the receiving end of the line, the position of catcher is well filled. Cotton, a veteran of last year, is the hardest hitter on the team, and also sees to it that the initial sack is well covered. With Ross, guarding the keystone sack, and Baker the hot corner, and Draper getting the sissling ones at short, the infield of this year's team will come up to any one of former years. The inheld also has plenty of good reserve material in Kittie, Marshall, Heaton and Laker. ln the outfield Shuter, Sutton, and Ashcraft, chase the fly balls, each of these are excellent gardeners, and timely hitters. The outfield has strong reserve strength in Strasemeier, Horton and Roach. All in all, this year's team lives up to the standard of former teams, without aidoubt. a+ r-Cr -1931 -:-r -Q- 'ff .s 'l ill J, L- Sm., ,,.,,.x .J -dup- Sa , ,..--f ,- .Hvaturvn ..,,..... . U .

A D u I- J- BOREALIS ' Qiatnrg One early September morning in I927 the dear old high school building, which has never failed to extend a hearty greeting each fall to her new wards, opened her arms extra wide and received into her heart seventy new charges, seventy now bound together as friends, some of whom had start- ed their schooling at distant places, some who had traveled their eight years of grammar schol together, but now were one class. As Freshies, everything seemed somewhat of a puzzle to us but yet there were a few adventurers. We were represented in the orchestra, girls glee club, and girls' and boys' athletics. Sixty of our band returned as Sophomores the next year. At least we could do the trampling. We even knew our way around the building then. More came out for the various school activities this year, including the latin contest and the newly organized boys' glee club. The number at the beginning of our third year was reduced to fifty- five. As juniors our minds were turned to more serious things: and the importance of good grades was seen as graduation was only a year off. The year was a success in all ways but on April 28, l930 the entire school was deeply saddened by the death of one of the most outstanding members of our class, Arthur Schulz, Jr. Art was a member of the boy's basketball team, took part in all athletics, and belonged to the boys' glee club. l-le has been greatly missed by his class this year. The memory of a loved one can never be erased. The most marked event of this year was the Junior- Senior banquet, the first at Laughery Club. Thus we come to our Senior year and to the end of our high school career. Four years of hard work had passed out, they were years so chock full of fun and good times that they passed only too soon. Our Senior year was filled with all the activities of graduating students. A most enjoyable time was had at the annual painting of the tank when the Seniors left their trade mark there. The class of '3l has been represented on the boys' basket-ball team. and with the Devilettes four years. A distinctive record was made by this class in that they won prizes on the three floats entered in the Farmers' Fair parades while Sophomores, Jun- iors and Seniors. When we at last receive our diplomas and realize we have come to the end of our high school days, we begin to understand that our happiest days are over and all our efforts have not been in vain. - -2- 4- 1931 'S' -Q- I I 4' 'C' BOREALIS 4' 4' .Mmm anh Emi A Comedy in Three Acts Presented by the SENIOR CLASS of Aurora High School june I CAST OF CHARACTERS James King, a rich man ---- Corinthia, his parlor maid - Cliniton DeWitt, his son-in-law Julie Dewitt, his eldest daughter Eva King, his younger daughter - Aunt Abby Rocker, his sister-in-law Dr. jack Delamater, his neighbor Horace Pilgrim, his uncle - Adam Smith, his business manager' - - Lord Andrew Gordon, his would-be son--in-law Production Staff Stage Managers Property Managers Advertising Managers Prompters -,..t-..- -.

Once upon a time a WElS, YOUNG ENGLlSl'lman by the name of PETE, and his PARROTT, CASEY, started out in his flivver to take a ride over the HILL to town. First he went to the MILLER to get some flour and then to the BAKER to get some bread. He then went to the TAYLOR to get a new suit because he was going to stop and take his girl on a joy ride. Last he stopped at the bank to get some CASH and then he was all set. He started home with her but the MARSHALL gave him a ticket. After that he felt kinda BLUE. He was cheered up a bit when she patted his CHEEK. He looked over at her SMALL form beside him. She was in the BLOOM of youth. just then she said, LUKE He looked and there was a KERR dog in front of the flivver. He gave the wheel a SWIFF turn and it hit a LOWE CULLEY. He turned some MOORE and it hit a POST and landed bottom side up in the COTTON FIELDS. The dog was killed and the RENTER of the farm whose name was SMITH came over and told him he'd have to work to pay for the dog. He took them over to his place and told him he could stay in his BARNES. The barn was full of mules and they would BRAY every two or three minutes.
