Ellen Cahill is another Who is bright and sweet. When we think of her, we say There's a kid who's neat. Sarah Miller is a tiller Of the mental soil. Honor roll for her each live weeks, Gracious! what a goil! Mary Morse you know, of course, That girl with all the A'sg But add to that she knows her cues Did you see her in the plays? Virginia Brooks can hold her own In music lines galoreg She plays on this and plays on that, And then she plays some more. Our Margaret Powers makes a hit With everything she does. Pianist, actress,-expert in Whatever thing it Was. Then Laura Shipe, that little blond Is one we mustn't miss. A hairdresser she says she'll be, So use your head on this. Ruth Hobler is a friend of ours Who stars at basketballg She gets the tip-off, shoots the sphere, And never minds at all. Dorothy Brainerd knows the ropes As well as anyone. She works for high marks, yet she seems To always have some fun. Juanita Dunn is like the rest- An evening out is fun. Her name implies that what she does Is sure to be well Dunn. i SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL A Hisforg of the Organization The members of this company came together from all parts of the city, forming the first troupe to receive all of its training and give all of its enter- tainments in this school. Our efforts culminated that first year in one per- formance, the Freshman Hop. At that time our managers were: Elliott Enyedy, president, Ruth Hobler, vice-president, Margaret O'Connor, secretary, Mary Louise Morse, treasurer, and Donald Mertz, sergeant-at-arms. Miss Brookheld was our adviser. Of course, no circus would be complete without a missing link. Our Sophomore year supplied that necessity for us, since, owing to the tremendous responsibility we had carried the year before in being the frrst Freshman Class to adorn -the new school with our verdure, we gave no performances at that time. In our Junior year, however, interest revived, and we elected George Vetter, president, Ruth Hobler, vice-president, Ruth Smith, secretary, and Chauncey Young, treasurer. We chose Mrs. Ferguson as our adviser. The outstanding feature of that year was the Junior Prom, which was carried on in true circus style, decorations, balloons, pink lemonade, 'n'everything. Then, following the precedent established by former companies, we aided our elders fthe class of IQ27D in giving their last performance, by pitching and equipping their tents. Pk Ik PK lk Pk For this last year of our work, we have elected Elliott Enyedy, president, Edith Somers, vice-president, Ellen Cahill, secretaryg Gordon McLaughlin, treasurer. Miss Lockwood is acting as adviser. The burden of our finances was exceptionally heavy this year, for we have had no less than three treasurers since September. The first great event for this year was the Senior Prom. For this dance, the Hgymi' was transformed into a most attractive hall by means of the black and orange decorations, which, together with the orange ice cream, created an atmosphere of Hallowe'en. The balloon man, too, was there in the person of I Page 13 SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Page 14 A Hisiorg of ifhe Organization I Continued j Hunky Scheid. Lillian Quandt was general chairman of the affair. 'fCurley7' Johnson's Orchestra furnished the music, and during the intermission, Virginia Graybill and Gladys Mertz entertained with solo dances. We then brought Dr. Clausen here from Syracuse to tell us HHOW to be Angryf a topic of especial value in the hard life of circus performers, In selling tickets for this lecture, Sarah Jerome, Kose David, Frank Scheid, and George Vetter, certainly showed their ability as elephant trainers. QDo you remember those interesting red, white and blue creatures in 209 and 2IO?D The climax came, however, when a group of our very best actors pre- sented the Senior Play, The Charm School. It certainly was line! After this book, which We hope will keep alive our memory in years to come, is pub- lished, there will be a hard-earned 'treat in the form of the Senior Banquet, for the whole company to enjoy. And now We feel that on the whole our career has been so successful that we will give our last performance june 26, 1928, and then disband. l mi ffm? JQQQIQE SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL LEWIS LEWlE ALLEN Bicycle Rider, Ring ll No. 9 610 Dubois St. Lewie will probably get in the six day race, when he quits our circus, but we are afraid he'll come in five days late, as he does in the mornings. What causes that? HELEN HHQNH BARNES Handspring Ring l St. Mary's Henry St. hear has already artistry in transla- s' sake, come ,.. onli, fl LAWRENCE SADIE BATES Clown, Ring I St. Mary's 759 Lauler St. Bates' clever performance on the court and diamond give us reason to think of his being the clown of the circus. Got cher trig? LUCILLE CILLE BEATTY Tight Rope Walker, Ring ll No. 11 11815 W. Hudson If Cille should lose her bal- ance during her performance, she probably would be just as cheer- ful as ever, scramble to her feet, and say: Don'tcha care, honey. LLOYD BECK BECKER Stake Driver, Ring Ill No. 3 11215 LaFrance St. Lloyd's handiwork in the wood shop proved that he would make an efficient stake driver. Only us left handers can do I this. BARBARA BOBBlE ' BENTLEY Pink Lemonade Seller, Ring I N0. 3 546 Su Main St. It's too bad our crack lemon- ade seller has left us for a Roch- ester School of Nursing, isn't it? She's probably passing out the drinks to impatient patients by now. Oh, my goodness! ALICE ALICIA BOYD Handspring Artist, ,Ring I No. 9 558 Lyons St. will be as We hope that Alice great an artist in handspringing on the sawdust as she is on the ivories. What? Oh, yes! DOROTHY DOT BRAINARD Chariot Racer, Ring I Corning 246 E. Miller St. Dotty certainly is a great racer, isn't she? It's rumored that she can't be beat in Milton. I feel so sleepy. DOROTHEA DOT BUHMAN Head Usher, Ring II No. 1 757 E. Water St. Since you are experienced in ushering, we give you the title of head usher. Save us good seats, Dot. Hey, Toot! FORD FORD COLLIER Advance Agent, Ring III No. 11 854 Maple Ave. Ford's selling power was dem- onstrated with his Literary Di- gests. We are sure he would cover the town with our circus bills. Bring around your sixty cents. giffwf I Page 15 SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Page 16 VIRGINIA GINNY BROOKS Knife Thrower, Ring I No. 7 310 Sly St. Ginny', seems to have a fail- ing for throwing knives. If she always aims and hits the mark as well as she did in making this book a success, none of us would be afraid to stand as her target. vvhat's all this? LOUISE LOUISE BULLOCK Tight Rope Walker, Ring II No. 7 467 South Ave. Louise is so good at balancing Iigures, it will be simple for her to keep her own poise during her performance.

He will probably be ordering Neptune to supply him with more seals to make our circus a larger success. uYep.,, GORDON PARKER BURROUGHS V Camel Driver, Ring II Pine City Pine City Gondonfs interest in agricul- ture will induce him to try de- veloping the great Saraha. Want a ticket for Dr. Clau- sen's lecture? MARGARET PEG CAIN Tight-Rope Walker, Ring II St. Patrick's 517 W. Clinton St. Since we know that Peg likes to see shows, we thought we'd let her see herself as she sees others. Did'ja go to the show last night? HARRY HARRY CONE Supervisor of Tent Set-Up Ring III No. 9 112 Miller St. Harry is a. model enthusiast who has devoted much time and energy to that work. While he is flying his planes he can take care of the tent gang, as both tents and planes go up together. Gotcher twin pusher fin- ished? FREDER FRED C LY Fire r, Ring I S M y' Mt.

ALICE TOOT COOKE Assistant Head Usher, Ring II No. 1 219 Sullivan St. Dot Buhman says she needs an assistant, so we are giving the position to one who is used to working with her. What do you know? PERRY PERRY COURT- RIGHT Water Boy, Ring II Breesport Union Lowman, R.D. 2 Perry left us a half year early to start his work, so he should be very efficient. However, We suggest that he use his truck to carry water for the elephants. No, I'm never late. GLADYS GLADYS CRANE Lady on Stilts, Ring III No. 7 369 Penna. Ave. From roller skates to stilts is only a step. Remember the Ecclesia skating party? All right.

We award Harry the prize for his ability to cook hurry up messes. Ye gods! JUANITA DUNN DUNN Waitress in Circus, Ring II No. 9 604 Herrick St. You carried yourself so well in the Senior Play that we thought you might like to carry the food and serve your fellow workers. Sign my slip. ARLAND ARLY EDWARDS Mechanic, Ring III Hendy Ave. 114 W. Miller St. Arland's work in the school shop will justify our appointing nim supervisor of the monkey- wrench. Lookout, guys! Here comes the teacher! EMMA EM ELY Business Manager of Show, Ring II You have had 'bookkeeping, haven't you? You're just the one we want to look after our books and receipts. But my goodness- DONALD DON EMBLEM Dwarf, Ring Il Elmira Voca. 598 Reynolds Si. I-low about the day you didn't know your history lesson, Don?

We've had some special sawdust of the brand Easy Test put in the ring so he Won't trip. Thanks, I have some. RUBY WUBY GROOME Ballet Dancer, Ring I Nichols, N. Y. 824 Broadway Every circus must have its ballet dancer, so we chose Ruby, who takes lessons. Her foot- work helped the senior girls win the basketball championship. My mind's a blank. LUELLA LUELLA GROVER Retired Circus Actress, Ring ll No. 3 613 W. Hudson St. Now that you are no longer going to continue in our circus, Luella, we wish you luck in your domestic performances.

ELOISE ELOISE HAYES Bookkeeper, Ring Il No. 3 614 Franklin St. Because Eloise has so compe- tently aided in looking after the books in the library, We have no fear of any mistake in the books of the circus. - I was in the library this noon. KATHLEEN KATE HAYES Elephant Trainer, Ring I St. Mary's 523 South Ave. Can't you just imagine Kath- leen training elephants? She certainly can manage those great big A's. What did you think of that test? JOSEPH JO HEYMAN Sword Swallower, Ring ll NO. 8 500 William St. Jo performed well on the football field, so he should be ex- ceedingly successful in his future activities. Now don't try to argue. SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL k TL 5 CONSTANCE CONNIE HILL Human Endurance Performer Ring II V No. 7 255 Horner St. Just ask Connie whether she has good training in this art when the cafeteria line extends half Way down the hall. Inci- would you consider dentally, counting money while eating, rest after toil? Isn't this terrible? FLORENCE FLOSSIE' HILL Human Statue, Ri III Cook Academy 'l on, Pa. This is the - o time that Florence h urbe her activity enou t a statute Didn't s a wonderful Lady a in the English assem- bl Could you get your French?

I'll tell the knock- kneed world! MARJORIE MARJ JENTONS Tumbler, Ring II Rochester 308 E. Clinton St. Marjorie joined our circus re- cently and is probably unknown to many of the audience.

She always weighs her word s carefully before speaking, especially when recit- ing in class. Isn't that wonderful? HAROLD LEWY LEWIS Parade Supervisor, Ring III No. 3 Buffalo, N. Y. Lewy left us a little early, going to a larger city, but his job in our circus could be filled only by him. It's simple when you know how.

Can't you see I'm busy? ERNEST ERNY LONGWELL Truck Driver, Ring III No. 7 907 Erie St. Ernest's ability as a truck driver in our circus was started in his after school work. Sure, it's my car. LUCILLE 'CILLIE LOOMIS Contortionist, Ring I No. 4 117 Penna. Ave. If Lucille's dignity should ever allow her to stoop to perform the antics of a contortionist, it would be a whole circus in itself. She's known to perform at break-neck speed. I was so scared. 'MARGARET MARG LOSIE Toe Dancing, Ring I No. 6 1240 W. Water St. Introducing Marg in a new role. She's known to excel in every sport from riding horse- back to climbing trees. Depechez-vous! HAROLD HAROLD LOUNSBERRY Clown, Ring I Northside, Corning 514 Broadway See Harold the clown!

Finally, we decided that the part of a hand-spring artist would be just the thing. I thought that was queer. ELIZABETH LIZ MATHEWS Tall Lady, Ring II St. Cecelia's 718 Benjamin St. Though she may not be high up in the air, she's quite over our heads. CSuch words as Eliz- abeth uses! J Silence!

MARGARET MARG O'CONNOR Tight-rope Walker, Ring I St. Mary's 522BQ Penna. Ave. Have you noticed how Marg gets to class on time since the teachers stopped signing senior play slips for pupils who come in late? Oh, it's atight-rope walker she's become, all right. Why I should think it would, because- EDITH EDITH OLSON Ice Cream Seller, Ring II Budd, N. Y. 116 Ferris St. Edith has had so much expe- rience in dipping out and selling ice cream nights after school that she'll probably reap great profits for us. I can type' it the eighth pe- riod.

AGNES AGONY PITTS Toe Dancer, Ring II No. 3 325 Broadway Agnes usually excels in getting up dances.

We imagine she could put lounge lizards in their place, too, if necessary. Oh, I have so many I can't remember. DOROTHY DOROTHY y- RICHARDSON Aerialist, Ring Il No. 7 215 Brand St. The air is always favorable for Dorothy if she wants to go for a ride or hear a trumpet solo, so she ought to be just the person to do our death-defying stunts at high altitude, don't you think? Y0u're not ticklishy are you? DORIS DOT RUSSELL Human Statue, Ring I New York 609 Beecher St. Can you imagine Doris stand- ing still for much longer than both-minutes? She has prom- ised to practice long and hard though, so we probably won't know that she's the same old Dot. And how!

I find it quite interesting. MARIAN MARIAN WILSON Human Butterfly, Ring II No. 3 101 Canton St. As a human butterliy Marian ought to startle the spectators. I-ler chief qualification for this part is the practice she has had making others graceful by play- ing the piano for the folk danc- ing in gym. Yeah! BEATRICE BEA WOERMBKE Tightrope Walker, Ring II No. 3 726 Si. Main St. Bea walks the straight and narraw rope as well as anyone could wish.

Mrs. VVoolf very ably filled the ofhce of our ring leader for this production. The inside facts of certain deep, dark secrets were disclosed when the play was produced. VVe found that Ross Hobler, as 'lAustin Bevans, aspired to pedagogy. Margaret Powers, as Elise Benedottif' through her loving powers, ruined a perfectly good girls' boarding school. Margaret O'Connor, alias Wfheodosia Curtis, believed in the use of smelling salts. Frederick Connelly, '4David MacKenzie, was possessed of a legal mind. Juanita Dunn, Miss Hays, did not like to have girls educated to be charming. Harry Dunn, also known as Homer johns, however, liked charming girls. HSally Boyd, whom we know as Laura Shipe, needed to have her mind forcibly fed meat. i'.Ti1n and 'Tim Simpkinsf' Elliott Enyedy and Gordon Mc- Laughlin, wanted to marry an heiress. :'George Boydf, more often known as George Vetter, thought he knew a love letter when he saw it. NMuriel Doughty, alias Ellen Cahill, believed in being loyal to her school. Sarah Miller, or Ethel Spelvin, wanted a different man every night, while Mary Louise Morse, as Alix Mercier, liked men very much, too. Lillian Quandt, playing Lillian Stafford, was pleased that dancing was taught in school, and Madge Kent, Doris Russell, couldn't see the use of having dances without boys. Marion Graham, Dotsie,', was always in the way. Live and learn, says the old adage. Elle have learned much from living through this one performance. Page 30 SOUTHSIDlE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL SOUVENIRS Don't leave the IQ28 Senior Circus without a souvenir. Take home a happy remembrance with you. It doesn't cost a thing but transportation. 'Do yoi remember the Senior Prom when Ross Hobler, Dick Cullen, and Pete McLaughlin advertised for girls? And the Frosh Hop when Hunky Sciieid hrst tried to dance? Ur maybe you recall the Girls' Get-Together Basketball Banquet, where the toast mistress referred to this yearis victorious interclass team, then juniors, as the Ladies' Aid Society because they gave all their games to their opponents. Then again, there are the good old days when we came to a new white Southside as new green freshmen. Wasn't it great to have those workmen do tricks for us on their scaffold right outside the window where we could watch them while we endured our most hated classes? . Or perhaps you remember the day Margaret Powers tainted in Mr. Tschudy's biology class. VVasn't that a sensation? And didn't you feel a thrill when you got your first Senior autograph in your brand new leather-bound year book? ' The Hag raising ceremony with the Hag stopped at half mast so a picture of it could be taken is unforgettable, too. And do you remember our first orchestra conducted by Chuckie Adams before Mr. Bement took charge? What about the clubs that used to be G. C. C., and the French Club, the Latin Club, the Chemistry Club? Then there was the day in assembly when our junior class president, George Vetter, received the official gavel from Don Butters, graduating senior class president. . Do you recall the rainy Arbor Day that we were excused from school to plant trees, being furnished sandwiches and cocoa by the Parent-Teachers' Association ? Or were you in gym the day Eileen McCarthy lost her balance and fell down on Sarah Miller? Perhaps you remember Marie Dettmer and her 'cello. She would have graduated with our class this year if she were still here. Walt Barnum was another kid we used to know.

L I'CERA'C UD 6' g f SOUTHSIDPE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL' 11th Your---Class of 1929 A Peek Info iihe Future l'Very well, Miss Personius, then I shall expect to hear from you again, within the month. Is that right if The man who spoke leaned back in his chair with a tired sigh of evident relief. 'l'he woman rose, saying as she faced him, That is what I propose, Mr. Snyder. My ship leaves New York in a week. I will be in Paris in twenty-one days. Don't worry about that ship load of materials. Ill look them over, talk with the manager, and forward them. It was with a great load lifted from his shoulders that Mr. Snyder watched the tall, slender woman leave his oflice. She'll do it, he muttered, as he turned to dictate a letter to his secretary, Clara Carlson. . A month later a brisk young woman climbed the steps to a suite of office rooms in Paris. She knocked on the door and was ushered before a slight, cultured man. There was something familiar in his face, but Miss Personius thought nothing of it as she stated her business. 'II have looked at the goods which Mr. Kenneth Snyder wants and I am pleased with their excel- lent quality. I want all that you have in stock sent to this address in New York,', she said, handing him a sheet of paper. 'Alf you will just put your name here, he answered as he pushed a contract toward her, Uwe will see to that right away. ' Miss Personius signed the contract, greatly surprised to see that the name of the man was Mr. Daniel Sheehan. She looked at him sharply, then asked, Did you ever hear of South- side High School, Elmira, New York, U. S. A. ? Yes, Jane, he laughed. You are sur- prised to see me here, but what will you think when I tell you that Elizabeth Wheeler and Marion Schmelzer are in Paris, now? Also that a party of five teachers are staying at the 'Continentale'? Beulah Barber, a chemistry teacher, Adah Boesen, a teacher of all eight grades in a country school, and Florence Riley, an English teacher, are among the group. Why, Mr. Sheehan, when did Elizabeth leave Lausaunne? And Marion! I thought she was studying music in Germanyll' She wasf' he answered, but she has finished and is bound for America next week. Elizabeth graduated three weeks ago. She is now 'Mademoiselle VVheeler,, ready to teach French in any High School or College anywhere. I must hunt them up. AI think I shall call on the party from America before I go back. I knew those three girls were teaching but I had lost track of them for several years. Some- how, I found it almost impossible to follow any of the Junior class of Southside after the first year of graduation. I have heard of several in round-about ways. Many of them became stenographers, several became teachers, some business men, while a few just drifted, doing nothing in particular. 4 It was a happy meeting when Jane, Elizabeth, and Marion were together again! Marion and Elizabeth were on their way home, taking the same ship that Miss Personius took. A month later Miss Personius reported to her manager, Mr. Snyder, not only the success of her trip, but also the whereabouts of their old classmates. Miss Wheeler was hired to teach French at Elmira College. Miss Schmelzer made her debut in New York two years after her return to America. -Kathryn Bacon, '29 Page 35 ,, ,, -4 1 E SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Page 36 1.

And who is that at the helm? Everett Schott, who has steered the good ship Sophomore through many a storm into the quiet harbor. Yes, it is indeed our friend Everett, sailing around the world, all alone in his little bark. But now our fellow Southsider is growing lonely as he sails from land tc land and shore to shore in search of a pal. He first disembarks in Spain. Here he sees his old friend, Forrest Young, in a garden, and he rushes forward, only to find that Forrest is too busy talking to Edna Knight to pay any attention to a mere once-upon-a-time class president. Continuing his lonely way, Everett lands in Turkey. W'hom does he find there using his powers to gain the throne, but Donald Green, former E. H. S. football, basketball, baseball star. However, with Katey Crane also in Turkey, Don does not need Evy around. Our hero sails -off to a land of wars-China. Wfho should be the lirst person he sees leading a vast army down upon the enemy, but Claude Gingrich himself! Everett soon notices that that is Alice Bidwell over there in the Red Cross nurse's uniform. No, Claude will not come with him now. Immediately upon setting out from China, Everett encounters a terrific storm, which at last washes him upon the Siberian coast. Here the only thing which saves his little boat is the gallant effort of Agnes Dunn-and a cowboy who keeps a lighthouse. No, the cowboy will not share his adventure. In mad despair Everett dashes off to the Cannibal Islands. After landing and cutting his way through the jungle, he at last comes upon none other than Jack Martin and a young woman whom we know as Ujimmyu Beardsley, training wild lions for Ringling Brothers' circus. Poor Everett! Broken-hearted he pursues his solitary way homeward. Upon arriving in his native land he seeks out a monastery, there to spend the remainder of his life in solitude. -Roberta Tetor, '30 ml f'N,-J N4 0 H J UINIIDR ww DE PART E.

She was angry because the gold plate that she had to eat upon at the christening was scratched. Indeed, Mary was 50 angry that when she gave her wish to Katherine she said, lf she ever steps on the ground before she is eighteen, she and the whole household will fall asleep. The good fairies, alarmed, got together to decide what could be done about this dreadful curse. Finally the Fairy Queen, Marice Cooklin, decided that after all had fallen asleep Prince Francis Ruggles would come along and kiss the sleeping Katherine, awakening her and the whole household. During the early years of 'her life, Princess Katherine was carefully guarded by three special servants, Elsie Morgan, Goldie F arrell, and Raymond Shappee, who carried her about or wheeled her in a chair. One day when the servants were carrying Katherine in the garden an earthquake shook the land. Frightened, they dropped the Princess. Wlhen Fairy Queen Marice found Katherine sleeping, she knew naughty Mary's prophecy had come true. Marice carried the Princess into the house, laying her gently down. In the kitchen the cook, Deborah Hample, and all the servants, including Madeline Dahlgren, john Stowell, and Leola Qsler, were sleeping soundly. In an inner room, the king, James Frick, and -his queen, Virginia Graybill, were sleeping, also. Knowing she could do no more until Prince Francis arrived, Fairy Queen Marice left the palace. f For several years the household lay sleeping. Then along came the hand- some Prince, riding a charging steed. Climbing through the growth of under- brush, Prince Francis entered the palace and found the sleeping beauty. Kather- ine was so beautiful that he kissed her rosy lips. Suddenly she awoke and smiled into his face. Immediately the whole household resumed its work, aban- doned years ago. Then there was great joy in the palace, for Prince Francis and Princess Katherine were married and lived happily ever after. -Nellie Niver, '32 SOUTHSIDIE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 7th Your---Class of 1932 Nurserg Rhgmes Little Tom Warren Waits for his class marks: What'll he receive?

Besides the usual regular editions, a six-page football number and an eight page Christmas number were issued. At the begin- ning of the second semester the staff was reorganized in order that more students might receive the experienre of occupying the editorial positions. A large circulation poster which scored the home room sales in terms of base hits and home runs helped considerably in building up an excellent student support. , STAFF JANUARY TO JUNE, 1928 Managing Editor ..

In proving that Ecclesia is of value to Southside, we shall endeavor to show you first, that our aim is a worthy one, and second, that our activities are worthwhile. The purpose of Ecclesia is to study and practice debating, and to teach the members to express themselves more clearly. Surely, this aim is commendable, since it is generally acknowledged that argu- mentation is very helpful training, while it is absolulutely necessary for all students to learn to express themselves plainly and distinctly. As for our activities, we study the essentials of argumentation, have short debates, and also give literary programs at our regular meetings, which are held every other Thursday and at special, more social gatherings the first Tuesday in each month. Of course a few parties are also held at various times. The outstanding events in the work of Ecclesia for this year were the short, humorous debate with the Senate, given as a demonstration in the Birthday assembly, the annual Senate-Ecclesia debate, and a mock trial given by the Senate and Eeclesia. VVe are also planning for a debate with Hornell girls' team. Now we have proven that, because the aim of Eeclesia is worthy, and the activities worthwhile, this society is of value to Southside.

As a result, the orchestra is gradually developing a better balanced instrumentation. Every Wednesday afternoon rehearsals are held in the auditorium during eighth period. There is a movement started to hold rehearsals twice a week beginning next September, so the members can get regents credit for their work.

At the first meeting, with Mr. Ralph Palmer as faculty adviser, the following officers were elected: William Goldsmith, pres- identg Harold Tinney, secretary, Carlton Evans, treasurer. VVilliam Goldsmith later resigned and Ralph Morrison filled the vacancy of president. Departmental divisions of the club were appointed to further the functions of radio research, radio repair, set construction, and instruction for beginners. During the year the club installed a two hundred foot aerial on the roof of the high school building, and by the medium of this antenna and a receiving set it furnished radio entertainment for several social functions in the school. Other accomplishments included the construction of an electric phonograph pick- up, the building of a microphone, and speech amplifying circuit for assembly use, and the repair of about six receiving sets. It is the dream of this year's members to lay the foundation for future activities which include a transmitting station.

The main purpose of this organization is the formulation of athletic policies and the many details which are so necessary in carrying out this important work. It ratifies athletic sched- ules, grants money to the various teams, and acts in general as the guiding executive of all school athletics. The co-operation of the two schools is strikingly demonstrated by the mem- bership of this body which is composed of the superintendent of schools, the principals of the two high schools, the director of physical education of the public schools, one faculty member from each high school and two pupils, one boy and one girl, from both the Academy and Southside. The faculty and student members of the council this year are Mr. Prechtl of the Academy, Margaret O'Connor and john Wilson from S. H. S., and Mr. Schwenkler, Helen Parnell and Glover Delaney from E. F. A. Page 65 F' l 1 i L.H,, l x i l SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAIL Football In the past season, E. H. S. tried several experiments during the football campaign. Coach Hirst picked his first Junior Varsity team and placed it under the capable guidance of Red Riley of the 1922 Championship team. Besides practicing nights with the Varsity, the Junior Varsity played two outside games. In this team Coach Hirst has at his beck and call a large force of seasoned shock troops to bolster up thinning Varsity ranks. Next, due to the efforts of Mr. Hirst, E. H. S. became a charter member of the Southern Tier Con' ference. Additional public interest, closer school relations and ease in picking State Championship mate-- rial-as evidenced by the selection of Reg Christian as all-State end-are the main results of this experiment. Incidentally, E. H. S. won the Hrst Conference Championship with deserved victories over Norwich and Ithaca, despite the heart-breaking Bingo defeat. Last, we tried the double captain experiment in football. George Vetter and Frank Scheid receiv- ing the honor of succeeding Captain Ed Sweeney, who guided the fortunes of the 1927 team so ably. Even at this early date, the benefits of this radical departure from ordinary football are readily appreciated. VVe can be proud of having taken these progressive steps in 1927.

Under the capable supervision of Mr. Hall and his assistants, Mr. Prechtl and Mr. Stottle, about five score boys played in nearly a hundred games. Keen interest marked the entire season in both leagues as is evidenced by the good attendance at nearly every game. In the older league the seniors clinched the Championship by Winning both rounds played. The champions lost only two games during the entire season. Somehow it is remarkable how this class Won the championship for three consecutive years. This year, however, their victory was even more extraordinary. With no regular coach, few practice periods, and only seven men, they clearly demonstrated their superiority over more fortunate teams. Silver basketballs, numer- als, and a cider feast on Chase Knowles, are the Seniors, fruits of victory. In the older circuit, consisting of the A and B teams of the 7th and Sth grades, the battle for favors was keen. The 8-A won the first round, but their leadership was challenged by the 8-B team in the second round and the result was a tie. ln the play-olf the 8-A triumphed by a 17-16 count in a particularly hard-fought and well-played contest.
