THE TOTEM OR The Totem of the senior class of 1931, an entirely new theme was selected, and this was carried out to a fuller extent than in any previous book. Under the lead- ership of David Parrish, editor, the Seven Cardinal Principles of Education were made the motif of the annual. This theme was then elaborated upon to make one of the most complete records of the four classes ever to 'be published here. Each department of the activities of the school was given as much space as pos- sible, and a great number of photographs and pictures were used to illustrate the work of these various departments. The inclusion of these many pictures makes the annual of 1931 one of the finest ever published here and forms as nearly com- plete a record of the activities of the seniors graduating in June, 1931, as could well be collected.

DEBATE TEAM ITH a squad composed of such people who work with their might and main for their issue as the South Side debate teams do, it is no wonder that South Side was represented in the debate finals at the fourth annual public-speaking tour- nament. The Archer debating teams, coached by Miss Dorothy Benner, public speaking teacher, and composed of Helen Schaefer, Virginia Montgomery, Paul Brunner, and Herbert Merrill on the negative sideg and Alida Leininger, Ben Speaker, Oliver Eggers, and Harold Meigs on the agirmative, won over North Side, Lafayette Cen- tral, Columbia City, and Elwood before going to state. They continued their win- ning streak at North Manchester, where the tournament took place, until they were defeated by Haminond, the state champions. The subject which the teams have handled so well is: Resolved: that the present system of installment buying should be abolished. Three outstanding speakers: Oliver Eggers, Virginia Montgomery, Harold One of the crowds at the debates. Manor. Page One Hundred Twenty-three

The School Press, wherein The Totem and all other school printing is done. THE TOTEM Assisting David Parrish in the publishing of this book were Chester Brouwer as associate editor, and Delight Southern and Artemesia Staley as circulation man- agers. The two circulation managers secured much valuable experience during the previous year, and were held over for the work this year. Credit is due to the editors of the various departments for their work in secur- ing the material and arranging it in the various Writeups. Editors were assigned each department of school activity, and the work of these editors combined with the great number of pictures which were taken, gave a very complete annual for this year,s graduating class. After a very intensive campaign to secure subscrip- tions, the largest circulation in the history of South Side was secured.
