Then came a time when we were informed that The September Freshmen will report in the auditorium at 3 145 for the election of officers. XVell, in we went and chose VVilfred Booth, jr., president. Later we presented a play The Three NVho Pass XVhile The Lentels Boil. XVeren't we great then? But wait until you recall our Sophomore year. john Henry NVay was president. As juniors we returned for our last year at E. F. A. NVe elected John Copley president. Then came january 28 with its historic moving to our new home, Southside High. VVe were the first class to organize. Our officers were: XVilliam M. French, presidentg Dorothy Durell, vice presidentg Leonella Schaad, secretaryg George Enyedy, treasurerg Miss Henrichon, Patron Saint. Later Mary Catherine Daly was elected to succeed Miss Durrell, resigned. Seniors! The Hrst class to be graduated from Southside! That was our chant upon coming here for our iirst full year. During the hrst week, we set a precedent by organizing early under a very capable group of officers. Charles Kuggles won the presidency and Betty Sherman the vice-presidency. Thomas McCarthy was chosen treasurerg Bertha VVeser, secretary and Miss Haupt, Patron Saint. XVhen Tom resigned to become business manager of the El-So-Hi Annual, Walter X-X-'atkins was named to succeed him. During the last few days of our third year, a flag pole was ordered by the class and placed during our senior year with fitting ceremonies. Mr. Edson, in accepting the pole for the school, stated he hoped that each senior would be like it, standing staunch and upright for things that are Wholesome and true in the years to come. On October 31 we had our First social activity in the forni of a Halloween Dance. Not only was it unique in that it was the first dance ever held in Southside, but also because of the fine conduct. The class put on a profitable minstrel show in November with the aid of the faculty and the student body, Many outsiders thought that this would be just another school affair, but nearly everyone remarked that it was actually a finished product. ' But February 23 was the great dancing affair-our first annual Senior Prom l It was a real success in all respects, socially and financially.

These are some good lit-tle boys and girls. There names are Ed-Ward, Al-bert,Flor-ence and many othersg I cannot Wait to tell you. They all go to school in the big, new, South-side High School. Some Called them Jun-iors, but what they lack-ed in salt they made upin brass. They some-times had class par-ties. Once their lead-er was up before the dis-ci-pline com-mit-tee, but he said he made them cringe. These good child-ren will grad- u-ate some-day and en-ter Sen-ior High. They will all be so glad.

Two hundred and seventy-six persons attended, not including chaperones and guests. The success of the affair was due to the entire school, not just a group alone nor even the class. VVhen planning the dance, the Seniors desired a pleasurable evening, and not a money making proposition. It was indeed gratifying when we learned that only a small sum had to be taken from the treasury. The gymnasium was be-decked in gala attire of crimson and gray, the class colors. In fact, we had never before seen the gymnasium look so inviting. SENIOR MINSTRELS In the Southside auditorium, Friday and Saturday nights, November 21 and 22, lively minstrels were staged under the auspices of the Senior Class of '2S. Ivan Soper was general chairman. As interlocutor, Jack Miller ably filled the part. Timothy Connelly, Joseph Vail, Laurence Sides, Richard Killey, Grant Meeker and Harold Loop were the end men. Part I consisted of songs and jokes. Miss Haupt, Mr. Bement and Mr. John Fletcher Hall were the directors. Part II was put on by the Junior Department. The Players and the male faculty. Old Plantation Days, a skit presented by the Junior Department was directed by Miss Cronin and Mrs. Goodwin. The Juniors also danced a delightful minuet under the supervision of Miss O'Connor. He VVho Hesitatesf' a play by the dramatic society was put on under the direction of Miss Callahan. A man faculty skit, See Yourself as Others See You was under the direction of Mr. McNaught. The minstrels netted nearly nine hundred dollars profit for the Senior treasury. FIRST SENIOR DANCE On Friday, October 31, the first dance ever given at Southside High was staged under the auspices of the class of IQ2S. Both financially and socially the affair was a great success. The gymnasium was appropriately decorated in orange and black to correspond to the season, Hallow'een. Refreshments were served in the cafeteria, the first time it was used by the pupils. Jack Miller was general chairman. Music was furnished by the Collegiate Club orchestra. FLAG RAISING For many years we will remember the impressive ceremony held October 24, when the national colors were raised for the first time at Southside High. The first part of the exercises was held in the school auditorium, after which the entire student body marched out to see the actual flag raising. Major Robert P. McDowell was the speaker for the occasion. Charles Ruggles presented the pole to the school on behalf of the class. In accepting the gift, Mr. Edson stated that he hoped that each senior would be like the Hag pole, standing staunch and upright for the things that are wholesome and true in the years to come. Many guests of honor were present, including Mayor Wood, Superintendent of Schools Hutchinson and delegations from the American Legion and the Grand Army of the Republic.

The equal opportunity to prove his Worth is the birth-right of every student who enters Southside High. ' 1 The Student Council is the governmental expression of this out-stand- ing spirit of democracy. The president is elected late in the spring by the student body. The other officers are chosen by the Council from that body at the first regular meeting of the school year. All assemblies, which are conducted by the Council, have proved most enjoyable not only to the students, but also to our many visitors. Incident-' ally, much talent along various lines has been brought forth which other- wise might have remained unknown. Much credit goes to Mr. Edson, the faculty adviser, for the success of the Council and the democratic body that exists. The society has been ably directed by: I Philip Thrasher ................ ........ P resident Richard Killey .... Vice-President Catherine Conklin .. . .......... Secretary Arthur Parsons ............. Treasurer Vlfilliam French .... Publicity Manager Page 65 SO-HI v Page 66 EL-SO-HI ANNUAL THE EL-SO-HI The initial attempt at publishing a newspaper began on September 2, when the hrst issue of the El-So-Hi was sold on the opening day of school. Since then the paper has grown by leaps and bounds until now it is one of the best in the State. At the Eastern Interscholastic Publications Convention at Ithaca in November, El-So-Hi won third place-and that after only three lll0I'ltll,S experience! There were nineteen numbers issued by this yearls staff, featuring all the news of the school. Several times news was scooped by the El-So-Hi before other city papers received it. XVilliam French is editor-in-chief and Ann McCarty is associate editor. Under these eFF1cient heads and by the untiring efforts of Miss Haupt, the adviser. the paper has without difficulty taken its place among the other school papers of the country. ' Pagers 67 SO-HI AN Page 68 EL-SO-HI ANNUAL THE ORCHESTRA ' Southside can boast of many line organizations but there is none finer than the school orchestra. The school assembly committee fully realized the value of the orchestra and requested them to give a concert number each assembly aside from the marches and songs. It is a well known fact that the orchestra has continued to live up to its name ever since its debut. Not only does the school praise the organization but many strangers and visitors have commended it most highly. A large share of the orchestra's success is due to its director, Gywnn Bement. We may truthfully quote what everyone has said that, He has made professionals out of his amateursf, MELOPEA This ambitious club has done a great deal toward forwarding interest in music at the Southside. During the year, Melopea has given short musical programs nearly every Friday afternoon in which the club has proved itself truly musical. The competent officers are: Marjorie Seeley, presidentg Margaret Powers, vice-presidentg Virginia Brooks, secretaryg and Henry Davidson, treasurer. SO-HI-TRI The So-Hi-Tri, the newest organization for girls at Southside High, is composed of twenty-six girls. These girls have the following officersze President Kathryn Force Vice-President Lucy Phelps Secretary Frances Decker Treasurer Ruth Decker Advisor Elizabeth S.
