.Nofcbng jogefher 14 gg rganizafion . . . To all students, especially to those of us who are soon to leave the halls of South Side, it has been the superb leadership of Merle Abbett, superintendent of schools, and R. Nelson Snider, principal, that has made these high school days ones which all shall remember for all times. Mr. Abbett has been the guiding light of Fort Wayne schools since 1931, and his experience and wholehearted in- terest in the education of school youth are outstanding factors in our success. To him, with the help of the school board, goes the acknowledgment that we are better equipped to face college and the unknown future which lies ahead of us. It is indeed an honor to have such a capable leader 22 at the head of our school system. Leading South Side's cycle in the orbit of Fort Wayne schools, stands our principal, Mr. R. Nelson Snider. He is the person who is mainly responsible for South's holding power, which is rated near the top throughout the nation. To Mr. Snider goes the honor of leading his students through high school experiences to the realization that they are being sent out into the world as better citizens. The interest with which he discusses all topics students bring before him has been a tremendous help to all Archer stu- dents. We are indeed lucky to have a man like Mr. Snider as our school leader.

sy Our industrious general oflice secretaries, Garneta Swank and hflarquita Baker Yager, competently man- age the innumerable business matters at South Side. The sparkling smiles of these neat and efficient grad- uates make dealing with them a pleasure. Wlietlier it is advice for college preparation or business careers, Mr. Paul Sidell, our guidance di- rector, is prepared to give us excellent counsel. His cheerful personality has won him many friends, while his ability to advise students on program arrange- ment has caused many to stay in school. 23 A school which keeps such a Hrm grasp upon its students as ours does demands a dean with a keen insight into the problems and needs of young people. Vlfe have that person in capable and sympathetic Miss Nlartha Pittenger. The personal interest she takes in each one of us contributes much to character and personality development. Our friendly counselor deserves much credit for the many services she gives us. 4 E l , 3 . I S
