Ile 0l Q 0 0 This is your country, your school, and your Totem. Next year your class will take the leading position in South Side High School. You will be seniors and as seniors, you must set an example for the underclassmen. Are you willing to set a good example? Will you pledge yourself to give every- thing in your power to keep South Side the best school? As juniors, yours has been a typical third year class. Adjustments were made in your characters, talents, ambitions, and desires. You selected your class leaders at the beginning of the term, and fol- lowed along under their direction. Alvin Haley was honored with the position of president. Stanley Cook served as vice-president, and Richard Erwin, that witty character, did fine work as secretary. The social council was composed of Beverly Miller, Ar- dith Overman, and Bob Senseny. Miss Hazel Mil- ler and Mr. Lloyd Whelan should be given a great deal of credit in serving as class advisers. The of- 34 ficers gained some good experience in associating with them. One of the most colorful affairs of the year was the Junior Banquet, held in the cafeteria November 16, 1943. The theme of the event was Swing Shift. Little colored factories were pasted on the windows, wich small doors and lights painted in gold. Signs with slogans such as If your're absent you're help- ing the Axis or No Smoking Please were dis- tributed around the room. Programs were very cleverly cut into the design of lunch boxes, and were handed out with identification badges at the door. Alvin Haley acted as toastmasterg and to make the banquet ever more humorous, he wore a factory cap and goggles. At the close of each speech, he blew a large factory whistle to bring the students to order. Speeches were made by Miss Pittenger and Mr. Sni- der. Carolyn Druhot talked on 'QPast,', Jerry Mil- ler eulogized on the Present , and Ed Bransilver prophesied the Future Group singing was under

The last and most important event of the year was the Junior Prom under the supervision of Miss Hazel Miller and Mr. Lloyd Whelan, the class ad- visers. The decorations were made by Shirley Dyer.
