I think it is a great honor to be a senior, knowing that under-class- mates are looking up to me for what is right and wrong. Norman Seeley. Life goes on and I with it. That night will come and I will live xt. Tears within and smiles without, A funeral in my heart, The joy of a wedding in my face, A rose thrown, Caught, And a thorn in my finger- The next day I will write a friend That last night was Commencement. Kathryn Bacon. My Senior Year Until now, my senior year, I had never realized what school had really meant to me. School never began to show me what a good place it was until now, when I realize I must leave it. I realize that this is the last senior play, the last senior prom, and other senior functions I shall ever attend in high school. It makes me wish I could start all Over again and be a freshman just to be able to have another senior year. WOuldn't it be glorious to live again these four years-especially the last One? Helen Worster. Advice to Inferiors O under classmen, take some advice from one who knows,-a senior. You, O juniors, do not strut around next year telling of your high position in school,- for actions speak louder than words , you, sophomores, do not try to bluff in your classes- for a word from the wise is sufficientug you O freshmen, do not laugh at those above or below you who fumble,-for he who laughs last laughs best . Take this advice and in future years be a worth-while senior. Bernice Guile. 28 Never could I guess how it might feel to be a senior? Of course when a fresh- man I was sure I knew, when a sopho- more, I thought perhaps I knew: when a junior, I knew I didnit know, and now that I'm a senior, I'm afraid I really don't know, even now. I have gone through all the changes, mental and phy- sical, from the freshman days, yet now that I have become a senior, how does it feel? Freshman, you'd never guess. I have, to a degree, lost your self-confidence. Where are those happy, carefree days I spent with you, O Sophomore? It was while I knew you, my junior days, that I found myself lacking in all those qual- ities I most desired. You, senior days, the last days of my girlhood, have been filled with the realization that-I know nothing. Mary Catherine Heron. How I Feel About Commencement Having lived aboard the good ship Education through four years of changeable weather, sometimes flounder- ing on the high turgid waters of mathe- matics and Latin, sometimes riding leisure- ly on the sunny, tranquil seas of French and English, I finally approach the end of my high school career. However, I am fully realizing that I am nearing the day when, with lingering handclasps and many tearful aur revoirs , I sadly turn away with but a roll of parchment to ease my sorrows. I turn to our success- ors and believe I can truthfully say in behalf of my fellow class-mates, Juniors, we envy you. Kenneth Snyder. Commencement, I have been told by certain wise persons, means the end of school days, those happy days which par- ents refer to as the happiest days you will ever have , and the beginning of life. At the mere mention of word com- mencement , I immediately experience a queer, sinking sensation, which is best described as the feeling a student has when speaking in assembly to that grin- ning sea of faces for the first time. VVould that I were a sOph once more, looking forward not to the end of my happy days, but to two full years more in dear Southside! Need I discuss further my Opinion of commencement? Drusilla VValters. SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Read and ye shall behold the key to success according to the leaves of Sibyl. Upper classmen are not so wonderful as ye think, therefore, think of them as equals. Do just as the supposed lofty seniors dog pick up papers from the Hoorg limit your corridor permits to two a period, try studying in study hallsg make yourselves heard-when necessary. Heed these things and ye shall have a brilliant ca- reer in high school. Jane Personius. Advice to Inferiors ln your efforts to attain the exalted position of senior, it would be well for you underclassmen not to overlook the requisite purging of your soul from sin. You, ever-advised, oppressed freshmen, lend yourselves to the quelling of the dis- order which seems to fall your lot, you, sophomores, limit the superfluous flaunt- ing of your newly-found liberties, and you, ju11iors, forget not that, through Over-confidence, you may still remain K1 junior, although a wiser one, perhaps. Waltei' Tolbert. Freshmen My dear Freshmen, you are little And your minds are very brittle, So if you'd be great and stately You must learn to walk sedately. Never think of chewing gum, Nor be down-trod, sour or glum. Always be polite to teachers, Always kind to little creatures, And, dear infants, e'er be merry, Bright and gay and ne'er contrary. This is how in ancient ages Children grew to kings and sages. Elizabeth VVheeler. Advice to Inferiors XVe Seniors of 1929, with all the author- ity our experience dictates, give the fol- lowing advice to our inferiors: l. Don't bring your teachers flowers and candy and expect an A-it won't work, Z. Don't think you know French when you have acquired the ability to say ghbly Parlez-vous Francais , 3. Don't consider yourselves Latin stu- dents because Uveni, vidi, vici is an understandable phrase to you. We never did. Eleanor Crooks. You younger classmen, such as seventh and eighth graders, frosh, sophs-yes, and even juniors- 1. As seniors pass by you in Assem- bly, notice carefully their carriage, looks ot profound wisdom and cor- rectness. They never make mis- takes. . 2. Never use such large words as stra- botamy, delinquency, and delirium- tremens. This is alone a senior pass- time C-joseph Motiska is the excep- tionj. 3. When you see a senior-you can al- ways tell one by l1is dignity-stand by and let him pass QThis is the last and only year he'll trample on your rightsj. Lack of space keeps me from telling you many things, which we learned sen- iors know you shouldn't do. Marian Frick. Vivid Memories O Captain! My Captain! Our game is nearly done NVe've circled all the bases, but they're leading by one run, The end is near, the cheers I hear, the stands are all exulting, VVhile follow eyes the man on third, a runner grim and daring, But mi'gosh! mi'gosh! mi'gosh! Cap! You've got to knock him in, Cause on third base our last chance lies, If this game we hope to win. My Captain does not answer, his lips are grim and still, The ball comes o'er, the bat he swings, ye gods-it's going still! That game is anchored safe and sound, the season's closed and done, For just by way of making sure, our Cap brought in the rung Exult ye scribes, and cheer, you Frosh But I-I'm nearly dead l've yelled my tonsils inside Out, And I'm going home to bed.

Page 20 SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Student Council Minutes The Student Council was called to order September 10, 1928, with Kenneth Snyder in the chair, Mr. Edson and Mrs. Austin on the sidelines. The motion was made and carried that the primary object of the Student Council be to create a more efficient school property committee for the coming year. It was moved and seconded that the Student Council purchase arm bands to sell to the student body. It was further moved and seconded that the Student Council purchase a set of ten cdifying posters for hall decorations. Regular routine: Granting of two charters, jurisdiction over dances, disciplinary measures, were the regular order of business. The last bit of new business was the election of the Student Council president for 1929-30. President ...............................................

Many Special Editions Starting thc year with but a few trained writers, the staff has steadily gained in experience as shown in the many special editions published. The third issue of the current season was a six-page sport edition illustrated with football cuts, which brought a record sale of 1035 copies. The student body is to he commended for its excellent support at that time. The Christmas edition, largest paper ever issued in the Elmira schools, brought favorable com- ment from all over the United States. Following this, came other large issuesg namely, the anniversary number, and an Easter edition. Captures Third Prize At the Columbia interscholastic Press meet held in New York City on March 8-9, the lil-So-Hi received national recognition. Among high school papers listed as class B, the E1-So-Hi was awarded the third prize. Gives Loving-Cup To encourage girls' interclass basketball, the staff donated a silver-loving cup. Never before have the girls' interclass champions had a trophy for their contests. With results that have proven most gratifying, the advertising in the El-So-Hi has been carried on in a most efficient manner throughout 1928-1929, with credit due the members of the Business Eng- lish Classes.

Mrs. Elea11or Crane Woolf is to be complimented for making the senior play of such high stand- ard. Her ability and the untiring efforts of each member of the cast resulted in putting Daddy-Loilge Legs Over the top as one of the best productions ever staged at Southside. Marian Bills, as Judy Abbott, was charming as the independent little orphan girl, while Kenneth Snyder, as Daddy-Long-Legs was made to order-such legs will never again be seen in Southside. Helen Lockwood, as Miss Pritchard, wo11 the audience at Once in her sweet unassumin 1 l d M , , , ., g 'O eg an rs.

However, everyone enjoyed the part of the telephone-stricken busy- body, Mrs. Semple, acted by Eleanor Crooksg while Jane Personius and Elizabeth VVheeler as Julia Pen- dleton and Sallie McBride brought the house down. In the comedy roles of Mrs. Pendleton and Jimmie McBride, Beulah Barber and Robert Coveney once more starred. Each member of the cast did his best, and Daddy-Long-Legs will never be for- gotten as the senior play of '29.

At the beginning of the year, the following ingredients were blended: Qne cup of president, Mildred Thomas, mixed gently with one spoonful of vice-president, Erla Knapp, a dash of secretary, Erma Bricker, and several grains of treasurer, Clara Johnston. To this were added the following spices: jane Baltz Clara Johnson Sophia Bardwell Erla Knapp Erma Bricker Naomi Leach Catherine Belin Myrtle Lockner Martha Cole , Eleanor Lovell Ida Eddy Hester Mapes Georgianna Hawthorne Mildred Thomas Phyllis Hebbe Helen Timberlake Florence Ingalls Mildred XVittmer Helen james This concoction was placed over the fire for one year. As it boiled, in- terest in the art of homemaking appeared, creating a wider interest in home economics, and establishing a bond of friendship among the girls. In this way, outside interest was created. Each year the cake turns out differently. This year Ends improvements in and about the Practice House. The icing has bubbled over into a lovely display of flower gardens and beautiful shrubs. To realize to the fullest extent the Havor of this cake, one must mingle with the other spices. - Wantonoit Club Big Chiefs-Miss Lee, Margaret Sheive Armor Bearer-Ralph Randall VVampum Bearer-VVilliam Trader Recorder-Olive Peckham Young VVarriOrs-Rhea Edgecomb, Glenn Goodwin, Elsie Leonard, Agneta O'Leary, Fanny Rubin, Irene Segar.

J if SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Junior Jottings THOU SHALT RECOGNIZE A JUNIOR BY: I. An intelligent face, for he hath come far on the path of wisdom. II. A well dressed figure, for hath he not vanity? III. A thoughtful expression, for he hath responsibility. IV. A confident step, for he hath faith in himself and his school. V. Optimism, for he hath youth. VI. Staid behavior, for he hath out- grown the thoughtlcssness of childhood. VII. A hopeful attitude, for life is be- fore him.-NVilliam Ladd. THE JOLLY JUNIOR I .am an admirer of and a strong be- liever in the Jolly Junior. I delight in his whimsical peccadilloes, his youthful truancies. His daring is my source of joy. I think it incredible that any teacher should object to his buoyant boisterous- ness. The suggestion that his activities be curbed, I consider a monstrous infringe- ment upon his rights. Staunchly, I defend him whenever op- portunity presents itself. First, last, and all the time, I am for the Jolly Junior. I, myself, am a Jolly Junior, wondering if ever again life can give mc such an effervescent time!-Eleanor Beardsley. When you see her running down the hall, When you see him yelling to his friend, When you find the papers strewn around, LJ, When you hear a noisy study-hall, And you are disturbed with banging doors, Then and there yOu'll find a junior.- Crystal Ewing. SOME ADVICE TO LOWER CLASSMEN Now, listen, lower classmen, and little freshmen, tool Examinations dreadful are on their way to you, So work, you little fellows, and cram each empty head XVith plenty information, until you're nearly dead. For if a senior you would be, of dignihed appearance, Of the finals intervening, you must make a disappearance.-Ralph Tolbert. HOW A JUNIOR IS EASILY RECOGNIZED You can always tell a freshie By his simple ways and Such, You can always tell a junior, But you can not tell him much. -Agnes Dunn. A JUNIOR'S PARADISE l. Fifteen minute classes. 2. Half hour's time for passing of classes. 3. Refreshments served at the end of second, fifth and seventh period. 4. A one week vacation after each tive week examination period. 5. Lounges in each classroom. 6. A law forbidding the issuing of D.'s and E.'s. 7. No 'thard-boiled teachers. 8. No tl1en1es. 9. No regents. 10. Conveyances for students to and from school. ll. No Dr. Rogers to bring in bright ideas for the bettering of school ath- leticsf' 12. Six months of school and six months of vacation.-James Harper. MY OPINION OF SENIORS Seniors are in many ways The queerest creatures living, For they are always to some stude Their steady advice giving. XVhile this advice is very good, There's one thing I beseech, It is why don't the seniors Wise Once practice what they preach? -John Deming. The dignified Seniors, to me, Are about all one could wish to be, They ne'er skate i11 the hall, Consequently donlt fall For amusement of others, you see. They are also a talented lot, Please listen, and 1,11 tell you what, With Ken in the lead, Lower classmen, take heed! He'll make their play seem what it's not. -Gladys Mertz. W'hen I was an infant in the seventh grade, the word senior was like castor oil-hard to swallow, but opinions change just like the stock market, so I have acquired a new ticker. ? Seniors are now digestible with the aid of salt to somewhat tame them down. It is al- ways well to wear heavier clothing if you are exposed to a senior, because you are apt to feel a bit frozen at times. How- ever, with all these alarming symptoms, a senior is not really dangerous, but a child who has found out why pretzels are crooked.-Beatrice Getkin. MY OPINION OF SENIORS Oh! why should the spirit of seniors be proud, Though raiment be noisy and comment be loud? They learn to be seniors at staggering price, But all they retain are words of advice,- for us poor juniors. -Esther Griffith. Page 45 'P' N .

Make freshman sit on hard-bottomed chair. Keep until live o'elock after school for misconduct, and beat well with a leather strap when he arrives home. After he has fallen in Miss Lee's aquarium, Hang on a line to dry. If this treatment is applied for a year. we guarantee to make a high-minded sophomore of him.-Norma Lewis. HOW TO QUIET A FRESHMAN IN A BUSY STUDY HALL First take one quart of nitroglycerine and mix gently with four pounds of gun powder. Separate two sticks of dynamite and knead into a ball, using a pint of gasoline. For seasoning, use two table- spoons of red pepper, mixed with buck- shot. Place under said freshman's desk and touch off with a match. Wait pa- tiently two minutes for desired effect. From a Sophomore's Cook Book.- Lon McCarriek. MY ADVICE TO THE FROSH To the innocent and well-meaning froshie, I impart this paternal advice: Don't eat lollypops in the class room. You enlarge the appetite of the teachers. Don't mistake the statutes in the main corridor for rocking-horses. They don't rock-we tried it. Don't let the seniors kid you i11to be- lieving that the drinking fountains make comfortable seats. We know better by experience. So, now, with these wee wisps of wis- dom, you should profit by our mistakes. -Dorothy Whipple. WHY SOPHS ARE WISE Many people often wonder why sopho- mores are so wise. Well, in the first place, we have been through the crude stage of life, commonly called the fresh- man year. In that year we were buffeted about, set on the fountain, and made prey for other sorts of pleasure to the lordly upper-classmen. Now we are most high and wise sophomores.-Daniel Donahue. TO THE FROSH I wish I were a frosh like you To start in Southside all anew. I'd take my books home every night, And study hard to win my fight. I wouldn't skip a day, not me, Nor would I cut a class at three. l'd always try to be on time, Not saunter in at half past nine. Advice is cheap , so you may say, But if you take it, it will pay. Tomorrow will arrive too lateg Prepare ye now to conquer late. --Lloyd MaeMahon. Dear Freshies, You have, after eight years struggle, managed to secure a passport which will enable you to take a cruise of ten months on the good ship, Education. The academic passport will take you to the Latin country, where you will learn about Caesar, Scipio, Hannibal, and many other men of the ancient times. The commercial passport will carry you where you will learn how the busi- ness of the world is being managed. Whatever cruise you choose, be sure and learn it thoroughly so that at the end of the cruise you will feel that something has been accomplished. Best wishes for a happy trip. -Mildred McCarthy. A CODE FOR FRESHMEN 1. Never obey your teachers, as it doesn't pay. 2. Always come late, as it is necessary to get enough sleep. . 3. Always chew gum, as it adds a lovely appearance to the room. 4. Never do your lessons or get on the honor roll, as you all can't be honor students. 5. By all means don't take gym, for your muscles should always be weak and your health poor. 6. Take E's for every recitation, you can tell your parents EH means ex- cellent. , 7. Follow all these directions and you will succeed in remaining another year as a freshman. -Miriam I-Iample.

He walked beneath pine trees, In a green-carpeted hall and heard Their whisperings. He drank the sky's blue, And played with the sky's rain For hours together. Then when he was tired of wandering He made a veil of sun, water, and sound To throw across the world. TENNYSON The muses nine In solemn council sat To plan a genius that would Hold in his being The supreme gift of poetry, Of love and utter beauty. He shall be the shining, Glittering crown of centuries to come, They said. And from their combined efforts Like a flame of pure, white light Came Tennyson-the master-poet of The Victorian age. The muses nine Surveyed the Work which They had made And thought it wondrous strange That he whom they had fashioned Should so exceed their every thought. ' He is a being fit for God. His pure, white soul blinds our very eyes, ' They said. And with his image shining in their hearts They walked by his side with shaded eyes And gave him all the beauty Qf their presence. -M. Kathryn Bacon, '29. Frosh Fruits of Thought MY OPINION OF UPPER- CLASSMEN See the mighty seniors, bless 'em, How their weighty duties press 'emi See the curls and spiffy ties And their thoughtful, solemn eyes. We admit that we admire 'em, Though they say that freshies tire 'em. List their words with wisdom fraught Yes, they give us food for thought. -Marion Kent. MY OPINIJ-CTF THE SENIORS You Seniors hold your heads so high And snub us as we pass. I guess you are the whales round here And we are just the bass. You seem to think that freshmen Are as green as they can he, But you were freshmen, too, one time And greener yet than we. ' -Valda Schoonover. WHY WE'RE THE HOPE OF THE SCHOOL The hope of our school, dear South- side High, lies in the class of Nineteen Thirty-two. Although we are the fresh- man now, some day we shall be the sen- iors. Our class has leadership, talent and scholarship. Three more years we have to develop these and we shall have reach- ed the goal. XVe may lead in sports and studies. Dramatists or artists we may become. XVe may even be members of the treasured Honor Society, for our class is the future hope of the school. -Charlotte E. Hyde. FRESHIE-JUNIOR I'd like to be a junior, They truly are discreet. Do they see a little freshie As in the halls they meet? Like the Priest or the old Levite, Along the halls they stride. Oh! I long to be a junior For I'll speak-and walk beside. I soon will be a junior, The battle's just half done. I'll give a smile to help along, Until the victory's won. e -Ida Yeager. MY OPINION OF UPPER CLASSMEN NVhy should we feel bad when a senior ignores us as he passes by? They are just four years-or maybe more-ahead of us. Isn't it funny how they forget their freshmen days? They ean't deceive us: they aren't so very sophisticated. You see how it is. They have labored from four to six years in high school to attain such a position and they want to be rec- ognized by humble freshmen. But we wont cry. VVelll someday be seniors. -john Enright. UPPER CLASSMEN Upper elassmen, you are good, And, of course, 'tis understood. You, as well, are just as bright Really you're our guide and light. Don't you mind the taunts you get, Never worry, never fret, You've a good right to be proud, Hark not to the teasing crowd. --Lucille Clunk. Isn't it odd how one forms opinions of others? W'e Freshies choose upper- classmen as our targets. I am not alone in thinking upper-classmen nice, for they themselves agree with me. Anyone can tell that by the manner in which they strut about, casting only a superior glance at us. They seem to feel that tl1ey are the only intelligent beings on earth. However, I shall not press my criticisms too pointedly, for I expect to be an upper-classman some day. -Jane Suter. THE BEST TIP I GOT IN S. H. S. Good tips are rarely given freely. How- ever, I received one that was very con- vincing. A tall, dark upper classman dashed past me on that certain day. Knowing no better, he hurried on. XVhen he came to the corner he tur11ed it neatly, but seemed to rebound in- stantly. As if by magic one of the fac- ulty confronted him. She told him the rules and regulations of the school, and a great deal more besides. Slowly he walked on. I thought that a pretty good tip. Don't you?-Virginia Graybill. The best tip I received in S. H. S. was given by a seventh grader. VValking along the hall, I noticed a commotion ahead. Consequently I marched right into the turmoil to investigate. Unnoticed by me, a small seventh grader came up behind, Immediately, as was meant. I tripped over his foot. I then tipped onto the floor. VVhen I re- gained n1y equilibrium, no lower class- men were in sight. However, many upper classmen were making merry over my spectacular tip.-Lowell Moss. MY OPINION OF MY UPPER CLASSMEN Though just a freshman young and green Many seniors I have scene. And now the chance 2 mee has cum Two ball u seniors out, buy gum! Now wur I boss uv this large school U'd cum 2 earth and act quite kool And quit your soreing way up hi VVhere wee purr freshman long too fli. -George Bidwell.

XYhen you pass from the seventh to the eighth grade you think tO yourself: l aln afraid l XYlll not pass ll l dont work pretty hard. You are getting ready to enter high school and are ex- pected to characterize your wolk with neatness and accuracy. You are also ex- pected to refrain from all silly tricks and remarks. Eighth grade students are be- ginning to grow up and find it hard. -Ruth Hallock. WHAT MAKES THE EIGHTH GRADE EASY Don't you think it is fun to find out new things th.at we didn't know before? 'lhat's all the eighth grade ls, finding out new things that are just as easy as walk- ing.-Ralph Segar. During the seventh grade school seem- ed to me a terrible pl.ace, a prison as you might say, but l have changed my mind very much now and consider it a place in which to learn things. And believe me, you have learned a lot after you are in the eighth grade, but l expect to learn more.--Mildred VVhipple. The eighth grade is easy because the teachers are always willing to help you i. you are in distress. All you do is to send out your S. O. S. and the teacher comes to your rescue. The agony of the solid day is lessened by a period in shop and gym. The teachers give out short assignments which can usually be done in class. The eighth grader should have an easy time.-John Douglas. HOW IT SEEMS TO BE AN EIGHTH GRADER I think that being an eighth grader is quite an honor. Being in the eighth grade means that we have nearly finished the grannnar grades and have begun some of our work for high school. lt also means that we have started the work we wish to do when through school. l think that it really means a start in life and that we should do our best to keep up the honor that the eighth graders had before us.-Lorraine Everts. Gee! but some of you seventh graders could make up a song of your own called 'l'hat's My VVeakness Nowf' I am sure all the rest of the school will enjoy hear- ing your song when you get it finished. -Mary Stropes. WHAT MAKES EIGHTH YEAR EASY The eighth year is one of the most in- teresting years of all the grades, because l. Arrangement of our daily pro- gramme. 2. We know the school better. J. We know our classmates. 4. X'Ve are used to the te.acher's methods. -Ellen I.. Elliott. The eighth year is much easier than the seventh. l. You are not among so many strangers. Z. You then know the rules of the school. J. You are not lost and late to class. 4. You also know what the school ex- pects of you. 5. You .are ahead of the little seventh graders. -Vivian Fleming. ADVICE TO THE SEVENTH GRADERS lf you want to make anything of your- self work with the teachers and they will work with you.-Leo Bryan. VVhy use the cafeteria as a music room: The cafeteria tables seem to make wonderful drums for some of you. 'the soup makes a good instrument. lf you must eat soup that way, try to start on do and go down the scales, not l1.alf- way and back. And for heaven's sake tlon't drum with your knife because it sounds like my HIVCI' and if you must drum, drum with your spoon as it sounds lnore like a drum. SO after this please listen to the concerts and not play in the band.-Clyde Nagle. This is station h-e-e-d broadcasting. Please stand by for some good advice given by Mr. Eighth Grader.. VVhen in Southside High do as the Southsiders do , which means to always act as a lady or gentleman. We are sure that if you take our acl- vice, you will not only have a better school, but will obtain two valuable things, education and friendship. -Harold Paul. ADVISE TO SEVENTH GRADERS Do you f'Seventh Graders do the best? Yes! You do. Are your mouths always going? VVell, I'll say! Are you forever lunning through the halls? Nothing but! Do you holler and yell! The majority iules. Are you often unruly in the cafe- teria! I'll say you are! This sounds rather hard, doesn't it?-Robert Oldham. SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL S6'U6Tlfi'l,S Simmerings SOUTHSIDE'S ELEVATOR Southside is a school that stores knowledge in the back of your head for future use. You learn a little in the seventh grade and a little more in the eighth. lt seems like an elevator rising from floor to Floor. I think of it 1lOt only as an elevator, but ,a balloon. First it is empty, then it is put on a tube. Soon it starts growing bigger, like your knowl- edge. When you are a senior the balloon is being tied and sold to some child who lets go of it. It starts rising as you rise in business. It goes out of sight, and you retire because of the knowledge you received in Southside.-Eugene Isaacson. Many people have not seen Southside's elevator, but it's here, and has been for live years. It is a magic elevator in- visible to the human eye, but when you are a senior and look back you will see looming up in the distance Southside's elevator. Vlfhen you start in the seventh grade you see nothing but stairs to climb. liach time the buzzer sounds it only means another flight of stairs to climb, but every time you tread these stairs you really are riding Southside's elevator.- Ilarbara Suter. HELPFUL ADVICE I HAVE RECEIVED Many of us boys and girls think we know quite a bit, but in reality we know lrut little. Fathers and mothers are con- stantly urging us to take their advice. Mottoes and proverbs like, 'tBe Prepar- ed and A Good Turn Every Day are excellent advice. The great thing, how- ever, is not only to see these suggestions, but to heed them. Take my Advice. - Heorge Davidson. Keep in good company, was the ad- vice given me one day. 1 followed this advice and I have never regretted it. If you go with boys who use bad language and steal and do bad things, you will soon be as bad.-George Hill. On entering Southside High School, I was given much advice by my friends. One bit of advice that has helped me greatly is this Do not try to learn every- thing about the school in one day. 1 consider Mr. Edson's advice very impor- tant. Always do your assignments. ln doing this you will not fall behind in class work. The most important of the rules is: study. I believe that every stu- dent should give up his foolish habits and get down to good hard study.- Kathleen Cooklin. HOW THE YEARS AHEAD LOOK TO ME The years ahead look to me as a dream. Sometimes I lic thinking of what I will do XVl1C11 I grow up. I wish very hard to graduate from this my school, South- side High, and then to enter college. l am hoping for better years ahead and as it is my duty to make them so, I intend to start today and not tomorrow.-Ruth Nichols. SEVENTH'S JINGLES I dreamed a dream about Eugene But we usually call him Duck. He swims like a stone, Floats like a bone. But, boy, he's full of pluck. -Robert 'l homas.

Sixty-five ambitious young men, both experi- enced and inexperienced, reported to Coach Hall to undertake one of the '.'arsity's most difficult schedules. . W'ith Chapman and Green performing on the mound, Elmira easily dis- posed of Vllaverly once, while Johnson City, Corning, and Union-Endicott were defeated twice. Ithaca succeeded in gaining one victory out of two close games. However, our great rival, Binghamton, downed us in the only game played, and left a task for revenge for this year's squad. Our Junior Varsity, coached by the head of the Southside Academic Department, Mr. XVall, a former college star, developed a great deal of young material. This team defeated the second team in a game in which Raymond Shappee, the junior Varsity pitcher, struck out eighteen men.

In the course of the season rivalry became very keen, but in each round the juniors led, with the seniors playing a close second. Each team was especially well trained, so it was not without a hard iight that the juniors came out victors. However, they displayed excellent sportsmanship and deserved their laurels.
