When Louis Bonsib, Editor of the Totem aided by Miss Rowena Harvey, faculty adviser, selec- ted The March of Timen as the theme for the year- book of the senior class of 1936, he must have been inspired by the many events that have marched, with time, through the four short years these seniors have spent in South Side High School. The march of events which led to the publication of this book is significant, interesting, and enlight- ening.

Ever since their entrance, they have maintained their tradition of dependability, and now, so near to com- mencement, the Totem comes out to bear further proof of their leadership. The first successful undertaking necessary to pub- lishing a superior yearbook was completed in October of 1935, when Dorothy Crabill, circulation manager of the Totem, boosted the goal of eight hundred subscriptions over the top by more than one hundred signatures.
