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.
