Risk, who was employed in the science department, was killed in an automobile accident.

Page 3 THE LEGEND Rotogravure School Loses Few l Of Its Teachers Thirty-one of the thirty-nine fac- ulty members who taught at North Side in 1927 are still teaching in! the Wigwam. Milton Northrop,Q first principal. still heads the staff,l but instead of Florence Reynard as, his chief assistant, he is now aidedg by Victoria Gross. Mrs. Ella B., Clark is still employed to take care: of the attendance records. Teachers employed in the Eng-1 lish department in 1927 and who are instructing Redskins at the present time include Mary Cromer, Charles Dickinson, Mabel Green- walt, Mildred Huffman, Julia Storr, and Edith Winslow. Those teaching science were Ju- lia Alexander, Rolla Chambers, Clifford Risk, and Edgar Suter. Commerce instructors were Elvin Eyster and Oral Furstg Hilda Schwehn, Hyrle Ivy, and Mark Bills were physical education di- rectors, and Bernice Sinclair and Gertrude Zook were art teachers. Foreign language instructors were Hilda Auman, Gertrude Bei-' erlein, Victoria Gross, and Bertha Nelson. Laurinda DeVilbiss, Ag- nes Pate, and Martha Beierlein taught the girls how to become expert home makers, while Tourist Thompson, Eldon Schellschmidt, and Allan Cleaver showed the boys how to make themselves handy-men around the house.

Three Courses Open To Students Here Three courses of study are open to North Side students. These are the College Preparatory, the Commercial, and the General. The College Preparatory course is designed primarily to prepare pupils to enter college. Gradu- ates of this course who make an average of B or better will be ad- mitted to any college or university Front row: Miss Auman, Miss Foster, Miss Zook, Miss Greenwalt, Miss Bowen, Miss Cromer. Second row: Miss Huffman, Mrs. Clark, Miss Howard, Mrs. Winslow, Third row: Miss Rothenberger, Miss Nelson, Miss Shroyer, Miss Storr. Back row: Miss Miller, Miss Alexander, in the country, except a few which yet demand the passing of an en- trance examination. The Commercial course is intend- ed to give those who take it a sound general education together with specific preparation for sec- retarial and general office work. The General Course is designed for those pupils who do not intend to go to college and who do not want to prepare during their high school career for any specific vo- cation. The majority of students of North Side pursue the College Preparatory work. Ont' of O11 1' Fczczzlfy Taugln' in Elzglamf Here at North Side we have a teacher who has had the experience of teaching in a foreign country. That teacher is Miss Katherine Rothenberger, a civics instructor, who during the year of 1931- 1932 taught at the Burnley Second- ary School for Girls, Burnley, England. It was through the English Speaking Union of the Student Exchange that Miss Rothenberger received an appointment to the Burnley School, exchanging posi- tions with Miss Doris Chew, who wished to come to the United States. Miss Chew taught history and social science in England. Cupid,s Arrow Has Pound Victims Here Have you ever stopped to think of the many different men and women who have been struck by the arrows of Dan Cupid while they were busy teaching students at North Side? Let us look back and see- Miss Florence Reynard, the kind and friendly dean of girls, in 1928 forsook the portals of North Side for the name Teagarden'l and a home in Indianapolis, and that same year Glenn Smith, Mr. Northrop's efficient secretary, Eli- zabeth Hadley, girls, gym instruc- tor, and Florence Van Fleit, Eng- lish teacher, fell victim to the little fellow with bow and arrow. Two other teachers who married and left North Side are Dorothy Coppock, physical education in- structor for girls, and Ted Miller, instructor of mathematics. Elvin Eyster, Hyrle Ivy, John Robert Sinks, Nlerton Kimes, Rolla Chambers, and John Mertes have also been married since beginning to teach in the Redskin camp but have braved the gibes of their fel- low-workers and remained to im- part learning. Ar the present time Mr. Cleaver, our mechanical drawing instructor, is the only faculty member who has children at North Side.

Page Rotogfavufe History Room History has always been in the making and has long been record- ed. History is still in the making and is still being recorded. At North Side we have a chance to delve deeper into the recorded facts concerning the history of the world. We also have a chance to study history in the making in our social science classes. Art Room Ever since we were very small and able to draw pictures in chalk on the sidewalks, we have respond- ed, some more than others, to the instinct to put everything we see on paper. At North Side that in- stinct is fostered very earnestly and skillfully. Here we are taught the true appreciation of beauty in na- ture which most people seem not to understand fully or enjoy or in- terpret. Dean's Oflice Ever since the world began, man has felt the need of a friend to whom he might go for advice when in trouble, and for confidence when in doubt. We, at North Side, have also felt the need for such a friend and we have found it. Into Miss Gross' willing and sympathetic ears we pour our burdensome troubles, and magically, it seems, they grow smaller and smaller until there are no troubles left. Music After reading that the apprecia- tion of the American people for good music is low, we believe the writer did not know whereof he wrote. And our disbelief is caused by considering the large enrollment at North Side in the orchestra, band, glee clubs, and choirs. It is evident that the appreciation of good music is not absent in our illustrious school.
