In one corner sat David Parrish, his feet propped up on the desk before him, man- aging editor of The Times. Near him was Norman Philbrick, the bespectacled pro- fessional bookworm, reading S. S. Van Dine's latest murder story, officially Norman was news editor, but since his avocation is known to be books, he was allowed to write several reviews of stories, magazines, and plays every week. Chester Brouwer was working hard reading copy. Mary .lane Nelson was perched on her desk, racking her brains for a suitable lead to her next feature story. Richard Brown, assistant circulation manager, was bending over files for information regarding the where- abouts of certain persons whose subscriptions were yet unpaid. VVhen the audience noticed Loretta Foellinger behind a desk bearing the sign, Auditor',, and Verna Schuelke presiding over a table marked 'Kgirls' sports editor , they began to think that the while paper was run by sophomores. But even this was not all. On the blackboard there were several prominent signs- VVrite ups due Monday: Billie Slagle, Jack VVynn, Ellen Yaplef' VVrite ups due Tuesday: Jo Kann, Betty Bailey, Betty Jane Whittern. Many interesting things have happpened in that room. There the fate of the best high school paper in the nation is decided. Under the excellent leadership of Miss Rowena Harvey, these people, with the help of others of the other classes, have kept the standard high. In this room friendships are formed and common interests strengthen them. Here, also, many good times are had: the mahogany furniture has witnessed many a jolly potluck. Most important, perhaps, is the fact that minds 1-1 Page 122

But one would hardly have fed such children sour green pickles and marshmallows and hot buns served with the concoction strictly for adults, hot dogs. And then, although they had ice cream cones for dessert, a keen observer would be forced to conclude that they were really rather grown-up students recalling their play days when they had been accustomed to go out for recess twice a day. ACT II As the curtain rose for the second act, we saw that the second year cast, now more experienced and dignified, had chosen a wonderfully good looking and popular group of students to supervise their activities during the sophomore year. None of the new officers had been elected the previous year, thereby proving that the class of ,3l loves variety. Billy Slagle, carefree man-about-town, was chosen president and Mart Ellenwood, distinguished athlete, was made his helper. Virginia Mollet, the blond with real natural curls, was elected secretary. Robert Eickmeyer, as a member of the social council, was assisted in his duties by two more of Theater South Side's blond beauties, Betty Basset and Virginia Swanson. From this we may make the startling assertion that gentlemen prefer blondes. The setting of scene two was again The Times room. Here everything was busy and hurried, buzzing with seeming confusion.

We TOTEM of 1930 Mary Frentz Iola Fell Viola Figel Joyce Finkhousen Ralph Fitch Don Gable Frieda Fell Steven Frick Virginia Fuhrman Floyd Flaig are trained to co-operate for the highest good to all. The production of a Hne paper makes co-operation necessary. In another scene the onlookers noticed the exceptional showing in athletics made by the sophomore girls. There were basketball, volleyball, tennis, track, and hockey teams. Several of the all-around girl athletes are Verna Schuelke, Margaret Shreve, Virginia Mollet, Barbara Beall, Genevieve Stratton, Marjory Augspurger, Helen Holzworth, and Mildred Crum. Among the male athletes lVIartin Ellenwood remained the foremost of his class. To his freshman accomplishments of varsity football, track, and baseball, he added varsity basketball. Art Koehl, another Sophomore, was made manager of the basket- ball team and was always seen on deck at the time of action. While part of the company held sway from the stage in their various fields of action, another part did their work from the orchestra pit. They are Alice Kayser, Vivian Colicho, Margery Miller, Mary Chenoweth, Elmer Korte, Alden Carvin, and Harold Manor. The sophomore members of the chorus were Dorothy Ridenour, Katheryn Pet- erson, Frieda Fell, Esther Shannon, and Loella McDougall. The prominent male singers of second year rank included Rae Newell, Eugene Gerber, John Inches, and Gibson Sisco. Page 123 1
