Her attendants were Rosae Lee Oestmann, senior attendant; Lois Remmers, junior attendant; Janet Meyer, sophomore attendant; and Ruth Ann Buchholz, freshman attendant. A dance was held in the new gym after the game. Ted Loomis Music Makers of Auburn furnished the music for the evening. 39 Sponsored by RIGGS JEWELRY, Auburn Initiation Say your speech! was a familiar saying to the freshmen, by the seniors, Friday, September 5, as the freshmen were being officially initiated. Girls wore overalls and overshoes and boys wore sacks or skirts with ladies' shoes and a few other odds and ends attached. As the freshmen came to school, their faces were immediately well decorated by the seniors. After the dismissal of school, the freshmen were led by seniors through town. Immediately following the parade, the seniors served a supper in the grade school gym in honor of the freshmen. Kangaroo court was held after supper. Among some consequences given to the freshmen were contests of eating, dancing, dressing, undressing and proposing. Then all the freshmen received their spankings and that ended court. A dance followed which was interrupted by a severe storm.
