There are many who do not know of the beauti- ful and romantic history of the banks of the old Saint Joseph river. It has a story all of its own. We wish we knew of the battles that were fought here between the red men and then, finally, between the white and red man. Undoubtedly, many brave young men have lost their lives on the very ground where the school now stands, Perhaps on our wellatrodden football field some other great strug- gle took place. What a story those old trees. which surround us. might tell if they were ableg of the heroic deeds, of dramatic loves, of great battles. Who could want more? They would fell of the coming of the great Mad Anthonyn Wayne and the founding of our great city, then a mere trading post: of the growth of this small Indian village into a mighty metropolis. and the building of a great and beautiful new school on the banks of the stream. Large boulevards have taken the place of the narrow Indian paths and electricallyrrun street cars course up and down the trails which the Indian pony trod long ago. A great bridge of concrete now spans the stream which once men had to ford. A11 has changed. ' In September of 1927. when the school first opened, there were but 600 students roaming its lengthy corridors. The school had been built and that was all. Before this majestic structure ran a dirt street, inaccessible in wintry weather. instead of the fine cement one which has taken its place. There were board walks instead of our cement ones which we now know. It was not until 1928 that those improvements were made. However, through these immature years the school was led successfully by our jovial principal, Milton 1-1. Northrop. Miss Reynard was the first dean of girls, but she was succeeded by Miss Gross in 1931. P-T. A. Executive Board First Row: Mr, Thompson, Mrs. Maurice Ashley, Miss Victoria Gross. Nlrs. Lee Pletcher.

A W 5 12 AT NORTH SIDE HIGH In September, 1927. the enrollment of North Side was a meagre 600 but, increasing by leaps and bounds, the total jumped to 998 in 1930. january, 1933. there were 1.294 pupils traversing the corri- dors of our fair school and the last checkup in 1936 revealed that this figure had risen to 1,-150. The June graduating list in 1927 numbered 64 seniors. Melvin Koenig was president of this class which was advised by Nliss Hilda Schwehn and Mr. Everett Pennington while the Rev. Paul Krauss gave the baccalaureate address. The Parent-Teachers' Association was instrumental in these im- mature years in helping to build a fine and upstanding student body. Ir has always been a vital factor in the well-being of our school. The many and varied activities which enliven school life at North Side would never have been so strong had it not been for the efforts of our hard-working school treasurer. lV1r. Elvin Eyster. The Quill Club was among the first clubs to be initiated into school life. In the fall of 1927, Mr. Charles E. Dickinson organized this group into one of proficient literary functions. Ir was not until the following year that the first Ripp1es', appeared as an offering to higher education in literature at North Side. Since then nine Ripp1es', have been published by this literary-minded group and the demand has almost always overshadowed the number pub- lished. In the first years of its existence, the club was also blessed with the assistance of Miss Mary Cromer, now Mrs. James Smith. The need of an organization to give the schoolls athletic con- tests their uumphu was seen in that first year, and under the ad- visership of Miss Julia Storr the Booster Club was organized. After that year Miss Hilda Auman tool: over the advisory duties, and we now have at the helm Miss Ural Eurst, with 1V1iss Hazel Plum- mer, Miss Katharine Rothenberger, Mlivss Judith Bowen, and Mr. Loy C. Laney helping outhin the different departments. In the first year the bandrwas organized by Mr. Paul Nlaithews. This first enlistment consisted .of aband of twenty-six members. Then there was a great scarcity of instruments. The uniforms came later. Next the band acquired the services of Mr. Williain Sur and only last year his duties were taken over by Mr. Varner Chance. The orchestra followed suit with the same growing ten- dencies. Elvin S. Eyster School Treasurer 13 First Row: Mr. Ralph Hite, Miss Rowena Harvey, Miss Katharine Rothenberger, Miss Geneva Burwell, Miss Carrie Snively, Miss Ethel Shroyer, Miss Mary Howard, Miss Vesta Thompson, Nlr. Harold Thomas, Mrs. John Chapman, Mr. Frederick Breeze. Under the same advisers, there were in those years a boys' and a girls' glee club. In the chang- ing of administration, these gradually grew into what we know as the A Cappella Choir. The Northerner became the weekly advocate of the students in those early times. Miss Mercedes Hurst was followed in advisership in the fall of 1928 by Miss Rowena Harvey. Miss Harvey's Northerners and Legends made fine examples for the other schools to follow, winning many fine awards. The first yearbook was published in the spring of 1929 by the class of 1928-1929. Debating began to bear fruit as early as the spring of 1928, when the club organized by Miss Cromer was given a National Forensic League charter. After the first year, the adviser became Mr. John Stoner and the N.F.L. became the Forum Club. As Mr. Stoner left for Chicago Uni- versity, an energetic young man took his place, Mr. Loy C. Laney, whose debating teams and public speakers have been the pride and joy of North Side since he reorganized the N.F.L. Mr. Laney also discovered the Junior Forensic in 1935. The artistic achievements of students was brought out by a meeting of the Art Club which was effected in 1928 with Miss Gertrude Zook and Miss Bernice Sinclair as advisers. The live Hi-Y'ers went into action in that hrst Study Hall annum. Mr. Merton Kimes was their proficient adviser. In 1930, Mr. Everett Pennington and Mr. Rollo Mosher took his place and in their stead now stand Mr. Dave Hartley and Mr. Leslie Reeves. The first Redskin Hi-Y president was Franklin Ivins. A Junior Hi-Y, called the Torch Club, was organized by Mr. Clifford Risk in 1928. Athletics cannot be left out of any such history of the school. Although the record was none too good these first years, there are a few names that stand out. Mr. Mark Bills was our football and basketball coach with Mr. Rolla Chambers as our track coach. It seems that the athletic board con- sisted of Mr. Bills, Mr. Chambers, Mr. Milton Northrop, Mr. Hyrle Ivy, Mr. John DeLong, Mr. Elvin Eyster, and Mr. John Sinks. The first Guild trophy winner was Steve Marshall. William Schei- man was the first track man to receive an UN . The initial football win was in 1928, when a pile-driving herd of Redskins trampled a fighting eleven from Reading High of Reading, Mich., f Dad', Northrop's old schoolj 14-12. In 1930 North Side basketeers won their first sectional crown, and the name of Everett Scott, Jr. was add- ed to the Redskin hall of fame. Again in 1932 Northern lights were blazing, for the Redskins had :'copped another sectional crown and had gone as far as the semi-final in the state tournament.

X I1 First Row: Mr. Loy Laney, Miss Judith Bowen, Mr. Robert Sinks, Miss Lorraine Foster, Miss Hazel Plummer, Mr. Leslie Reeves, Mr. John Mertes, Miss Catherine Cleary, Miss Marion Bash, Miss Marie Ehle, Mr. Howard Michaud, Mr, Dave Hartley. The footballers won over Central in 1934 for the first time. In 1930 the Red and White had tied the Green school from the south. The Red shared its first city football crown with Central in 1935. It was in 1934 that Mr. Robert Nulf replaced Mr. Bills as athletic coach in football and basketball. The lightning N has flashed seven times a winner in as many years of city track competition. Indeed, in the ten years of growth, North Side athletic teams have shown fight, fair play, and the will to win. What more could one ask? As for minor sports, the Redskins have done very commendable work. Having the only swim- ming pool in the city schools, Mr. Hyrle Ivy. aquatic coach, found meets in those first years with Emerson of Gary. A successful team was dis- played by the Redskins until 1935 when a great scarcity of meets prevailed. The Rifle team with Mr. Ivy and Miss Bowen at the helm has been very successful down through the years. It now has permanent possession of the Dickens trophy, which is symbolic of three con- secutive county rifie championships. Miss Hilda Schwehn became interested in a girls, athletic club, and, as a result, a Girls Ath- letic Association came into being. Ar once claim- ing a membership of over eighty girls, the club has always been among the most popular in the An Art Room school. In the fall of 1936 Miss Margaret Spiegel became active as the G.A.A. adviser. The associa- tion awards letters and includes such sports as volleyball, basketball, tennis, baseball, soccer, and speedball. A Student Council was organized in 1928 to give vent to the voice of the student body. Mr. Northrop and Miss Gross acted as advisers while representatives from each home room were elected. Miss Florence Reynard, dean of the school at that time, organized the Junior Red Cross in 1929. Since then that group has been aided in its various enterprises by Miss Mabel Greenwalt and Mrs. Chapman. As a result of a growing appreciation of litera- ture, a new club, with Mrs. Winslow as its adviser, was organized at North Side in 1933. This club was named the Helicon Club after a sacred moun- tain in Greek lore, and had as its purpose the de- velopment of a greater appreciation of literature, as well as giving the opportunity for creative work in writing. Miss Huffman is now an adviser. The Nelclerlyl' Student Players Club was brought to our portals by Miss Marjorie Suter in those first nine months. This body has flourished in the past ten years, and has become renowned for the annual Christmas Play.

Koenig. a man's heart is through his stomach, for almost immediately upon the opening of the school the Home Economics Club appeared on the scene. With Miss Beierlein, Miss Agnes Pate, and Miss DeVi1biss, this organization has retained its popu- larity. A growing interest in science proved to be the incentive for the formation of a new club in 1932 by two students of North Side, Paul Gotsch and Ed Wilkinson. Witli Nlr. Edgar Suter, the chemis- instructor, and Mr. Rolla P. Chambers, the physics instructor, as the c1ub's first advisers, and Paul- Gotsch serving in the capacity of its president, the' organization gained a reputation for its fine and interesting programs and its active membership. With the death of Mr. Suter in 1934, Mr. 1-larol 1 A. Thomas became an active adviser of the club. The Polar-Y of North Side, at the present time practically the largest club in school, was first known as the Girl Reserve organization of the school. The first advisers of the club were Miss Mildred Huffman, Miss Hilda Auman, and Miss Lorrain Foster. Miss Foster is still an adviser and is assisted by one of the newer additions to the The Doctor Examines faculty, Miss Geneva Burwell. The Nature Club organized in 1931 under the name of the Garden Club. With Mr. Clifford Risk. Miss Julia Alexander and Miss Marie Miller at the helm, the Garden Club attracted over fifty students to its roll call. In 1933 the name was changed to the now well-known Nature Club. Un- der this new name, the advisers were Miss Alex- ander, Miss Miller, and Miss Vesta Thompson. 1n 1936 Mr. Howard Michaud became an adviser. Another scientific organization which organized under a different name in 1931 is the Geography Council. Mr. Frederick Breeze created the Explor- ers' Club which has since been known as the Geog- raphy Council. It is afhliated with the Indiana Academy of Science, The Camera Club is one of the newer clubs of the school. Created in 1934 by Miss Marian Bash under the title of the Kodak Club, this group has flourished. The Etiquette Club came into existence in 1936. The honor societies include National Honor So- ciety, Quill and Scroll, and National Athletic Honor Society.

Bill has had a big job to do and has done it conscientiously and well. In addition to editing the yearbook, he has been a splendid student and athlete, an all round good fellow. Yes, it's Pendy Lou at it again, and with her is none other than Betty Lopshire, our star speakers. They both seem to be enjoying the joke immensely, and we'll wager it's Miss Snydor giving another imitation. Hail to Miss Greer, the singer and scholar. Betty Jane worked diligently through four years for a splendid scholastic average. Once more the base of our flag pole Hgures in a picture, but it most certainly is eclipsed by the smiling countenances of the Misses Doris Greenler and Bea And- rews. Doris, at the left, is a capable journalist fshe kept the books for the Legendl while Beatrice starred in speech work and scholarship. Now then, in the lower row we have Doctor Cameronis little girl-twins. To the left is Kateg to the right is Janet. This time it's scholarship and Clramatics. Here is a girl who has the coveted distinction of being liked by everyone. She is active in the many curricular channels of the school and plays an active part in its social life-Helen Thieme. Ah, that handsome guy is jim jackson. Not only class president but president of many other clubs and societies too numerous to mention. We think he is the city's best public speaker. He is good from publications standpoint and has served as Senior Editor of The Legend. Here is Hulda, herself. Miss Ruth Anna Harrod played the lead in our oper- etta, I-Iulda of Hollandf, She is possessed of a fine soprano voice, and hence her chief interest is music. Her scholarship is outstanding. We ,,-f' 1'1 ' Upper left: If one were looking for actual talent in North Side, perhaps his attention would be called first of all to Bob Smith. Bob is a fine actor, and his character roles are certainly worthy of much praise. Like Pendy Snvdor, Bob is a splendid imitator and his original ideas have stood the class in good stead. We must look twice to see that these rugged athletes are not the original three musketeers. Nevertheless, these boys have done more than their share to add to the prestige of North Side. On the left we have Al McMeen, the flying Scot, stellar track star of four campaigns. In the center is Norm Foster, captain of the basket- ball squad on which he served for two years, and on the right, handsome Warren Miller, all-city football star and varsity basketballer of wide repute. How fitting it is that Stan Needham should be strolling down the steps with such an attractive girl as Verdonna Tuttle. Both are publishers of The Northerner and are still nice people. Stanley also was co-business manager of The Legend. Ah, Ralph Wolf, a demon at the piano, goes to work with Harry Rummel com- fortably looking on. Both boys were on the Legend staff. Harry was president of Booster Club and a very Hne one at that. Vic Kowalczyk appears in our next snap. Everyone knows Vic both as a hand- some romeo and fine basketballer. Vic was president of the Redskin Hi-Y. John and Windy. These two friends are two of the strongest characters in the senior class. f W'indy in more ways than one.l The name of John Walley has appeared many times in the headlines as a class officer. He was class president last year. Johnny works hard as athletic manager. VUindy , whose last name is Johnson, is vice-president of National Honor Society. Dear old Meyers Mullendore appears before us next. In track, he ran the hurdles with the greatest of easef' and has won many contests as a debater.

As the picture would indicate, Stan's main hobby is photography. He has found time to take a leading part in the operetta as well as participating in track. Three writers we find next, all of whom play an active part in contributing to the success of The Northerner. The girl with the pen in her hand is Dorothy Nieterg in the center is Louise Hessertg and looking in from the upper corner is Pauline Fortriede. The two smiling countenances in the next picture belong to Helen Hartnup. rt cl' b ou s an ing mem er of the Red Cross Club of North Sideg and Kathleen Closs, a circulation manager on The Northerner.

Joan is outstanding in athletics, while Marjorie has brought joy to many by her singing. Seated at her desk is none other than the publisher of The Northerner, Gert cl h ru e Jae n, who has achieved this post in her junior year. She does not let the paper take all her time, however, because she is very active in athletics. 5 Q, 91 -U6 T' N 'ur - .4- YJNANN ae-gg -has .36 lax Qverseeing the work of Phyllis North is Ray Racine. one of the big shots on The Northerner. The little gal whose shoulder is being looked over is Phyllis North, another member of the staff of the paper as well as a varsity debater. Although having the disadvantage of not having spent all her high school days at North Side. Ruth Loring has rapidly been proving herself a leader in many activities. Her special interest is in athletics. Whois that? Ellison Meier, the star of this yearis edition of the Nlusic De- partment's operetta, is the bird trying to push our lamp post over. I-le is quite a guy. Swell fellow. My gosh! Is that an exrconvict? But, no. that must be Phil Olofson. dressed up in his numerals. Phil was sports editor of The Northerner, junior Editor ot The Legend. and wrote a basketball column that laid 'em in the aisles. The loving couple in the next snap are Katherine Crofts and Betty Boone. They are both star orators. Betty is also active on Polar-Y. They have an editor of The Northerner named Crofts. Could it be the same? Taking their places at the base of the Hag pole are Dick Urbine and Karl Rah- dert. Dick is a fine orator and Karl was president of the Booster Club. Uh, we almost forgot. Karl is social chairman of his class. Jim always wanted a car. Nlaybe he has taken possession of this one. Any- way, he looks as though he owns it. Jim is one of the fine leaders of his class. He was president of his class last year. I-le is active in football and track. and is one of the most well-liked personages of the school. We couldn't get a picture of Ed Boedeker without having him squint into the camera. Ed, you're not doing yourself justice. Ed is a class ofhcer and plays var- sity football and basketball. an I fa .'a.1'himes,...,., 175 ' 3. J UNIORS Capably captained by President Stanley Munger and with James Walley, Karl Rahdert, and Edward Boe- decker serving as assisting mates, the Junior Class ship has been successfully navigated to the port, Senior Class of 1938. Chief navigators, however, were Miss Katherine Rothenberger and Mr. Rollo Mosher, who were selected as faculty advisers by the officers. The Juniors! Praises be unto them-Sometimes they bewilcler, perplex, and exasperate me. Other times, they arouse my admiration and elicit highest praisef, declared Mr. Mosher, adviser. Q'They have brains and beautyg strength and courage, wisdom and the lack of it, they are diligent and studious, yet many have an insufferable aversion to work. Most of them have splendid behavior, a few are quite mischievous. A few are lackadaisical and indifferent, the great ma- jority are alert, active, and dynamic. I criticise them with vindictive and vituperative 'Yankee' epigrams. I praise them to the skies with much melodious verbosity and heavenly phrases. The Juniors! They are like a drowsy giant. They are not yet fully awake of their real power and strength. Next year. as Seniors, they shall awaken. Their great latent and potential abilities will be trans- lated into intellectual achievements far beyond our fondest hopes. The Juniors! A splendid class with all their greatness, and all their faults, Miss Rothen- berger and I join in saying: 'We love them with all our hearts'. The Class of ,ZS is made up of students many of whom are outstanding in both scholastic and extra- curricular endeavors. Stanley Munger, a cameraman supreme, served as chief photographer for the Legend, made honor marks, and made Miss I-Iarveyis heart do an about-turn when he resigned from the Northerner as business manager because of too many other activi- ties. James Walley and Ed Boedecker dabbled in both football and track with Eddie winning a letter in football and basketball while Jim served as a student manager for basketball.

Junior class members of the fairer sex distinguished themselves in several different activities but neverthe- less were distinguishable. Rozanne Stephens warbled both convincingly and charmingly while Betty Boone, Charlene Reamer, and Vivian Walborn formed a trio which put the sing in swing around North Side portals. Betty was also noted for her ability to speak as convincingly as she sang but she was not alone in this ability for Kate Crofts was a debater of the First water besides handling the Northerner editorial page, and Phyllis North, also a journalistic dabbler, spoke well and therefore cast a bright light on 113, more commonly known as the Northerner room. Gertrude Jaehn, publisher of the school weekly, was a star student and quite a Hash on the basketball court, or so I have heard. Supporting her in junior class athletic accomplishments are Kate Crofts and Edith DeHaven, who swam in class meets with aston- ishing swiftness while girl volleyballers and basketeers were Eleanore Schwartz, Charlotte Bickel, Virginia Gruber, Ruth Garmire, Joan Hueber, Mildred Miller, Helen Meyer, Harvena Meyer, Irma Stellhorn, Phyllis Zickgraf, Lenore Hofer, Dorothy Knuth, Helen Coil. Lois Frank, Nlarvel Howenstein, Ruth Lotz, Viola Prochal, Lavonne Herber. Marjorie Benninghoff, Mar- cella Hughes, Pauline Fortriede, Marjorie lVlenne- wisch. Charlene Reamer, and Vivian Walborn. A recount discloses other speakers of reputable note, among them Dick Urbine, Betty Murchland, Wfanda Keller, and Bill Swager, a 11B who won the Junior Extemporaneous contest. Track teams of which North Siders may well be proud contained a goodly number of junior aspirants desiring to make a name for themselves and bring more glory to their Alma Mater. Among these as- pirants were Allen Wyss, Norman Potts, Bob Cun- ningham, Don Ormiston, Willet Draker, and, of course, Jim Walley and Ed Boedecker. Journalism, that subject which attracts a goodly number of students, contained a long list of juniors who made quite a success of writing endeavors: Gert- rude Jaehn, Dorothy Nieter, Pauline Fortriede, Ray Left to right, Row 1: Dorothy Doerfler, Clarence Durfey, Betty Easley, Betty Durbin.

Louise Hessert and Philip Olofson won honors for their work in a Quill and Scroll contest, Louise win- ning Honorable Mention in the Head Writing contest in the East Central State District while Philip won First Place in the East Central Sports Division and Honorable Mention in the Feature Writing Contest. Philip later won the All-Columbia Award from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association for his sports page which he edited during the first semester. Dramatists of the Thirty Eightersw are Betty Boone, Harold Braunagle, Helen Imbody, Dorothy Nieter, Ellison Meier, Gertrude Jaehn, Pauline Fort- riede, and Phyllis North, who are members of the Student Players Club. Ray Racine, Wanda Keller, and Karl Rahdert took part in the short skit pre- sented in the G. A. A. Vod-Vil. Student Council representatives, the voice of the students, were all selected for their ability to decide questions which concern the Class of 1938. Those chosen were Karl Rahdert, Jim Walley, Phyllis North, Stanley Munger, Gertrude Jaehn, Don Ewig, Joan Hueber, Gene Riley, and Dick Urbine. Burton Benninghoff, ace rifier, sniped wonderfully well for North Side's gun squad, which won a good many meets. James Kirwin was student manager for this organization. Philip Olofson served as Junior Athletic Manager in both football and basketball seasons. Another bright spot on the Junior class record was the very successful Junior Prom. Committees headed by Karl Rahdert, as general chairman, were rewarded for their hard work when the attendance at the dance was very good. Committees selected and their mem- bers are as follows: Cherry Blossom Committee: Joan Hueber, chairman, with her assistants being Ruth Lor- ing, Marjorie Kronmiller, Vivian Walborn, Virginia Perry, Betty Boone, Betty Murchland, Margaret Bos- tic, Katie Closs, Florence Kashmereg Tree Committee: Left to right, Row 1: Helen Imbody, Nlax Irmscher, Ev- erett Huth, Mary Lou Hunter.

Helen Hartnup, a member of The Northerner cir- culation department, was sent to the National Red Cross Convention because of her outstanding work in the Junior Red Cross during the last year. The conven- tion was held in Washington, D. C., over a period of three days, May 10, 11, and 12. I Katharine Crofts was honored when the judges of the annual Koerber Extemporaneous Contest named her as tying for first place with James Jackson. Her name will be engraved on the Koerber Trophy Cup along with that of James. Dick Urbine, another Jun- ior, won third place in the same contest. Katherine Crofts was the author of the Junior Class vaudeville skit. Rozanne Stephens again used her marvelous voice to charm the attendees of the junior Prom, doing vo- cals with the orchestra of Jimmy Sanford. Lois Frank represented North Side along with Anna Fett at the Journal-Gazette Spelling Contest, which was held for Allen County High School entrants over Station WOW0. Gertrude Jaehn, publisher of The Northerner in her iunior year, was appointed editor of The Legend of 1938. Gertrude was the first junior to head The Northerner and the first student to head both publica- tions. Phyllis North, a Northerner circulation assist- ant, was named Legend business manager for 1938. Stanley Munger, who has done much of the photog- raphy for this yearbook, was appointed to the 1938 Legend major staff in charge of photography, and Kathleen Closs, Northerner circulation manager, will have charge of the sale and distribution of The Legend next year. There is no doubt that the Class of 1938 will fur- nish many prominent Americans for the generation to come, for this class has students with talent galore and who know in which way to use it. Scholarship, leadership, character, and service have all played a big part in the building of the Class of '38. Left to right, Row 1: Ruth Steward, Joanne Swain, Joyce Swain, Jene Sutherly.

Hold on here! No-Well, we're certainly surprised that it isn't Jack sitting behind Ellen, but Bob Johnson, star debater yell leader, and general class leader. makes a suitable background for Miss Kattell, herself an able student and speaker. What is the attraction that's drawing the concentrated attention of the 'lthree little girls above. It might be Franklin Peddie in one case, but then again that's not for us to say. Anyway, these young ladies are useful as well as very orna- mental to the class of '39. Joan Curdes, Marilyn Young, and Alice McGahey, as we scan from left to right. Speaking collectively, their chief interests are scholar- ship, journalism, and public speaking-and we mustn't forget the social angle. A bird's eye view of two sophomores. They're not really that short, and they're most certainly not short in what it takes to do big things, It's just another case of small but mighty. Tommy Suedhoff, the one on the left who looks like he's a little bit chagrined at being shot from this angle, is a capable ad manager of The Northerner, a superior student, and cowboy movie fan. That coy look on Bill Swager's face might be caused by his sense of modesty, which certainly has to work overtime in face of his remarkable achievements as yell leader and speaker. Speak of a stuclious alertness, and up pops Eugene Hartman fat least in this picturej. Curly is the usual M. C. at our pep sessions and does a swell job at bringing out yells. Aha, we have itl l'le's thinking of Pat Sweet. When Irish eyes are smiling-These amiable sons of old Erin, George Kinne and Jack Kennedy. are perhaps getting quite a joke out of the condition of the Northerner car, in which they spent much time as star ad solicitors for that worthy paper. Jack, strange as it seems. has been placed in the wrong picture. for he's the same one referred to in the paragraph of picture two. George. the handsome fellow on the left, is the capable business manager of The Northerner. Xi 3 Q Y K l E i F' -i WL 55.3.

In reference to the class of 1939 we must use a different adjective to name them with full justification. Instead of the habitual silly, let's refer to them as the Subtle Sophomores of ,39. Versatile is only one of the words that would be applicable to these sophomores. Other phrases that would be fitting without exaggeration would be hard- xx orking, talented, co-operative, appreciative, and above all-promising. They have not only shown promise of talented achievements for the future but they have already proved themselves able to cope with the best of positions and able to accept with perfect confidence any responsibility, said Mr. Loy C. Laney as he gave a pep talk before the Sophomores in their class assem- bly. At the same time he accepted the responsibility of presiding over the class as faculty adviser. Early in the year the Sophomores went to their balloting to elect their leaders. Morrison Miller seem- ed to possess the most friends to help, consequently he captured the title of head man. Bill Swager as he prefers to be called, ranked the vice-presidency, Ellen Kattell carried the scribbler and money changer's of- fice, and Joan Curdes successfully campaigned for social chairman. These willing older brothers and sisters that were to lead us, met in Miss Gross's office fthey could call her Aunty Vic if they wanted to, because they have the Dean's niece, Marilyn Young, in their classj and chose without much trouble Miss Nlarie Miller and Mr. Loy C. Laney as the Sophomore guardians. After a welcome of advisers and class officers, accompanied by many a laugh and serious thought in the Sopho- more assembly, the class turned as a unit to its first social function. The Sophomores entertained the Freshmen at their annual confab in the school's cafeteria.

Morrie had ex- cellent cooperation from everyone, including the other class officers. The Sophomores had their next fest in a purely private party on the same playground. Hard Luck was the theme of the party. Broken mirrors, black cats, and ladders that you couldn't help but walk under. were abundant. Thirteen cakes were given away in a toe squashing cake walk. The whole class seemed to have turned out. and bad luck was frightened away despite the remaining evidence of its evil omens. The last thing done as a group by the Sophomores was a presentation of Fairyland in the G. A. A. Vod- Vil. Problems are always coming up that have to be solved to the satisfaction of everyone. For this pur- pose every home rooni chooses a delegate to the Stu- dent Council who sticks up for them. The representa- tives from Sophomore home rooms were Paul Baker, fvliriam Bradley. Frieda Gunther. Dorothy Swick, Rich- ard Bruick. Nlarjorie Stucky. Alice McGahey. Charles Kleffen. Elmo Murrell. Ellen Kattell, Bill Gerhard, Ruth DeBolt, and lxflorrison Miller. Scholastically the class was led in the spring by room 314. Miss Burwell's. who won the National Hon- or Society plaque for having the highest average of the Sophomore home rooms. Members of that home room are: Nlartha Rose Ickes. Robert Johnson, Ellen Kattell. Robert Ley. Marjorie Nlarschner. Harold Nlc- Comb. George Nlurphy. Betty Newman. Betty Jane Passwater. Agnes Pender.

The annual Sophomore declamation contest honors were carried off by Bill Swager. Second and third went to Marilyn Young and Ellen Kattell respectively. Later in the year, Betty Pridgeon took first place in the Sophomore extemporaneous speech meet. Robert John- son won second place and Melvin Yokum rated third. Other outstanding public speakers and debators are Rose Steiber, Alice McGahey, Virginia McCormick, Charles Kleffen, Robert McConnell, Morrison Miller, and Richard Bruick. Among the Sophomore girls, we find quite a number of athletes. Several of the girls earned enough points to get awards for their ability. Kate Briggs, Irene Beecher, Mary Jane Goehler, Eleanor Geiser, Garnet Hutson, Gwen Parrish, Agnes Pender, Agnes Reid. and Ester Walda received their 1939 numerals. Peggy Wisiiman and Delores Humbrecht received their blocked Nis for their effort. The Sophomore girls had a good basketball season. They were beaten but once, by the Senior team in their final tournament game. Members of the team were, guards, Elizabeth Ulrey, and Helen Meyer, for- wards, Martha Rupel, Peggy Wisman, Marjorie Pratt, Agnes Pender, and Dorothy Bauer. Marjorie Pratt was high point girl for the season with 28 markers to her credit. Dorothy Bauer came second with 18. Kate Briggs, who did the fan dance with pillows and proper pantomimed actions and brought down the house doing it, is the Soph representative to the G. A. A.

Gordon and Gaylord Turner held down fairly regular positions on the varsity gridiron squad, re- ceiving sweaters as their rewards. Don Shepherd.

Frank Werling, Dewey Didier, Therman Hill. Dick Russell, and Ross Leakey tossing them around the hoop in the way of Sophomores. North Side's track team was boosted by some Soph- omore sprinters. Wayne Fulkerson and Shelly Wagner run right along with the fastest in the dashes. Ray Flickinger, Bob Winner, Bill Gerhard, and Kay Green run the middle distances. catching the watch in good times. Bill Asay gets off his feet in the high jump. jumping in several meets. Little Jimmy Haskins still manages to be football and basketball student manager despite his size, and being a two-yearling. George Williamson, a sophoa more, was appointed to sew up the rips that occur in track pants and otherwise fill the position of student track manager. Under Nlr. lvy's coaching, Bill Asay, Eleanor Gei- ser. and George Buckner flourished to positions on the rifle team that won the Dickens trophy in the annual rifle meet. Betty Jeffries and Lois Knepper have also shown development in their marksmanship. George Furste developed into quite a diver and Dewey Didier splashes water with good speed. Writing is another of the qualities that are possess- ed by the members of this class. Omar Kenyon was appointed business adviser of The Northerner. George Kinne holds the position of business manager. Alice McGahey is a star reporter, Tom Suedhoif handles the ads, Rose Steiber capably manages a circulation book, and Ellen Kattell, Juliana Bane, Jack Kennedy, Lester Frankenstein, Helene Starke, Ed Smith, Isobel Fraser, Marilyn Young, George Williamson, Fritz Wehrenberg, Virginia Ayres, Martha Rupel, Eugene Archer, and Bob Johnson hold minor positions.

Lester headed the Camera Club's annual dance and has shown the club their best year in development and progress since their beginning. Bob McConnell was the film manager. The Booster Club claimed the interests of a great number of the Sophs: Julia Ealvy, Imogene Seibert, Virginia Beary, Esther Walda, Eleanor Carroll, Mar- ilyn Young, Ellen Kattell, Eileen Aughinbaugh, Ar- lene Stavenik, and Louise Schwartz. Dramatics requires a varied line of talents rolled into one. Lester Frankenstein has progressed since his initiation to the position of Soph stage manager. James Bixby was appointed assistant electrician. Assistant stage hands were found in Alfred Bartholomew and Lanky Dye. Ar the annual initiation many Sopho- mores entered the roll call of the S. P. C. Among this group were Alfred Bartholomew, Lester Frankenstein, Joan Curdes, Marilyn Young, Ellen Kartell, Imogene Seibert, Marjorie Stucky, Ronald Bishop, Jack Ken- nedy, Paul Bussing, Eileen McKenzie, Bob McCon- nell, Paul Baker, Arlene Sarman, and Robert Lopshire. Pep is one of the leading features of the Sophs. They have taken the lead in supplying the pep at bas- ketball and football games for the whole year. The varsity cheer leaders are all Sophomores: Bill Swager, Eugene I-lartman, and Bob Johnson. Besides claiming all the varsity positions they claim two of the reserve leaders with Alfred Bartholomew and Lancaster Dye. There are others that deserve mention here also: Clark Waterfall, for his Hi-Y activities, Esther Walda for her artistic ability, and many others that can not be mentioned for lack of space, tlthough they have earned it by time and effort. Those that were not men- rioned need not feel unimportant for everyone con- tributed in this Sophomore class in making the tops in Sophomore classes.

Upper left to lower right: These three slightly bewildered-looking individuals seated on the front steps of the building are a sample of what is going to inhabit North Side for the next three years. The little girl on the left is Fahma North. who is already following in her sister's footsteps. being active in the public speaking department and in journalism. Another who is perpetuating a family name in North Side is Shirley Field, whose preferences are speaking and writing. Looking over the shoulders of the girls is James Thieme. who is a capable artist. The next picture is greatly magnified, because the one looking at you from it is Nancy Elam, who has the distinction of being the smallest girl in the high school. Despite her size, she's a potential power in the public speaking department. Posing on the bumper of one of North Side's limousines is Betsy Beard. an up-and-coming member of the class of 1940. The two girls standing at attention happen to be Anna Jane Byers and Helen Starke. Anna Jane is the secretary of her class and a very fine leader at that. Helen Starke acts as one of the mighty ad solicitors of the proverbial school paper. A Hag-pole sitter is Nancy Hattersley, a member of the Junior Forensic League. A very typical picture is this one of Peggy Johns and Helen Curdes. for you seldom see the one without the other. In addition to being attracted to upperclass gentlemen, they find time for Junior Forensic and other organization work. The very attractive couple you see posing in the next panel are very prominent in the activities about school. Betty Pridgeon is one of the stellar speakers of the class. while Nlelvin Yocum rivals his upperclassman associates in photography. Using the automobile for support is Patsy Sweet. one of the young hopefuls upon whom the future success of our Alma Mater depends. And last. but far from least, we find a trio of active freshmen who are making a name for themselves in the school. On the left is Charles Cleaver. another edif tion of the Cleaver family which has proved its worth in North Side activities. The little girl surrounded by the fellows is Wfanda Foster. who is a member of the Legend staff and social chairman of her class. Finally, the booster of the North Side Redskins is the president of the freshman class, Dean Needham. K s if as if Q X' 1 f-rr! FRESHMEN By DEAN NEEDHAM, WANDA FOSTER, and CHARLES CLEAVER During the 1936-37 school year there entered into North Side High School approximately five hundred young people whom the upperclassmen called Fresh- men. Their self-endowed cognomen, however, was The Promising Class of 1940. They entered this institution with high hopes, nothing like what ortho- doxy would lead one to believe. The class as a whole was very active. In January, they held an election of officers. Dean Needham was their choice for president. Dean was active in speech work, played football, and was a member of The Northerner staff. Charles Cleaver was elected vice- president. Anna Jane Byers was elected secretary- treasurer, and Wanda Foster chairman of the social committee. The social committee consists of Melvin Yocum and Robert Laegerstrom. The officers made a wise decision in their choice for class advisers. They chose Miss Spiegel and Mr. Michaud. In order that the new students might become ac- quainted with each other, the junior Forensic League sponsored a party held in- the cafeteria to which all Freshmen were invited. No upperclassmen were ad- mitted. Dancing and cake-walks kept the guests enter- tained. Later, the Sophomores sponsored a dance for the Freshmen to which there was good attendance. By that time the Freshmen were becoming better acquaint- ed with school and also their classmates, and were losing their shyness. The class planned a picnic in Franke Park late in the spring for every member of the class. In order to raise funds for this picnic, the Freshmen sold conces- sions at the Bluffton-North Side basketball game. The Booster Club cooperated with the class in this enter- prise. The Freshman class has shown an eager desire to participate in the various activities of North Side. The chief reason for entering this school was to in- crease their learning. Several students were so diligent in trying to acquire more knowledge that they received grades averaging above 90 percent, thus placing them Left to right, Row 1: Betty Aker, Rose Allen, Bill Allen, Dorothy Adams.

The names of those who received this honor follow: 9A's, Paul Bracht, Nancy Elam, Phyllis Elder, Elouise Ellwell, Kathryn Gerig, Mary Jane Martin, Donald Parrot, and Richard Wild- ermuthg 9B's, Paula Bailey, Geraldine Battling, Mar- gerite Berning, Charles Cleaver, Helen Curdes, Nor- ma Dannenfelser, Don Dolan, Martha Dye, Kenneth Fosnaugh, Jeanette Frie, Shirley Helmuth, Roger I-Iirons, Margaret I-Iitzeman, Carl Lauber, Elizabeth Pennington, Phyllis Roebuck, Virginia Schaaf, James Thieme, and Charles Thomas. The school is very proud of these Freshmen who received this honor. May they keep up the good work. The Frosh proved that they were not backward or timid in any respect. They were quick to enter into the spirit of school life, for the club rooms were fairly teeming with ambitious Freshmen. The Freshmen held their own with the muses. In music, about twenty-one Freshmen were active. In band, the following members were first-year students: Franklin Bayha, Chester Cromwell, Robert Edgar, Robert I'-Ioenig, Carl Lauber, Carl Runkle, and Wil- liam Sexton. Freshman orchestra members are Franklin Bayha, Jeanne Boegli, John DiGirahmi, Jeanette Frie, Elizabeth Ginther, Shirley I-ielmuth, Helen Krohn. Betty Pennington, Carl Runkle, and Robert Weeks. Three members of the class of 1940 are in the A Cap- pella choirg those members are Norman Getts, Shirley I-Ielmuth, and Eileen Ross. Miss Suter held a dramatic class for those who wanted to further themselves in dramatic ability. Several Freshmen took this opportunity and joined the class. Nancy Elam and James Thieme are S. P. C, members. Publications enticed many yearlings. The North- erner and The Legend, two of the most important extra-curricular activities, drew the attention of the following Freshmen: Howard Gooley, Charles Thom- as, Shirley Helmuth, James Thieme, Eugene Archer, Eleanore Houghton, Peggy Johns, and Shirley Field. The roll of the Freshman class contains the names of some very promising athletes. Some of the future varsity footballers are Bob Bumpus, Harry Gordon, Junior George, Bill Werling, and Carl Hofer.

These five boys were on the reserve basket- ball squad. There are many other boys who are very proficient in athletics, but are too numerous to men- tion. Not only publications, music, and scholarship held the attention of the Freshmen, they were also inter- ested in speaking. The Junior Forensic provided an outlet for those interested in speech. At the present time all oH'icers of this club are Freshmen. Kathryn Gerig was their choice for president, Pat Sparling was elected vice-president, Martha Dye was elected secre- tary, and Dean Needham, social chairman. The secre- tary, Martha Dye, has informed us that there was a total of fifty-two members, thirty-six of which were Freshmen. Last fall Mr. Laney sponsored a Freshman-Sopho- more Oratorical contest. In this contest the partici- pants read poems. Dean Needham proved his prowess by winning first place. Betty Pridgeon and Joan Cary received second and third places respectively. Qther people who won through many eliminations to win a place in the finals are: Nancy Elam, Mary Arm- strong, Billie Jean Kriclc, -Mary Ellen Armstrong, and Betty Jane Egolf. This spring another speech contest was held. The participants chose from a list of subjects and made a speech of about live minutes on that subject. This time the winners were Fahma North, a January entry, hrstg Shirley Helmuth, second: and Glendola Baker and Paula Bailey tied for third place. Other finalists were Carl I-lofer, Shirley Field, Charles Thomas, Joan Cary, Elizabeth Ginther, and Fonda Shook.

Mr. Michaud, freshman adviser, made this state- ment concerning the class: Serving as class adviser to the Freshman class of 1936-1937 has been a real pleasure. The part taken by this class in all school affairs shows encouraging prom- ise that they will prove, within the next few years. to be one of the most outstanding classes of North Side High School. The officers of the class have cooperated most effici- ently, with a fine spirit, to make class activities success- ful. They were always able to find willing helpers in their class to carry out the program of the various class functions of the year. The Freshman class is usually the largest in the high school, therefore most difhcult to organize and to become acquainted with all its members. But in the next few years to come there need be no fear for any lack of leadership among the members of the class of 1940? This quality of leadership and its all-important ally of followership are two of the outstanding virtues of the class, and these, coupled with the apparent desire for scholarly excellence and social prestige, point the way for an eventful four years. The interest and talent shown by the class in the various extra-curricular or- ganizations and activities has been pronounced. Un- doubtedly in the various Fields of publications, speech work, dramatics, and music the class will make a note- worthy record, and through its service and leadership will contribute much to the beneht of North Side. The seniors have a record behind them.-The freshmen have a wealth of opportunity before them.-The way is open. And so the class of 1940, composed, as it is, of an active membership and endowed with the proper lead- ership and guidance, can look forward with an eye to the future and, a firm foot on the right road, to greater achievements and sweeter successes.

Later they welcomed the freshman class to our portals and installed their leaders. The pro- gram committee with Miss Gross planned an im- pressive Armistice Day program, November 11. Kenneth Richards was chairman of the group. A committee of Bill Darling, Karl Rahdert, and Phyllis North assisted Mr. Northrop in conducting the freshman election. The annual Get-Acquainted Day, February 26, was an overwhelming success under the arrangements of John McKay, Gertrude Jaehn, Alice McGahey, and Warren Colby. A week spent in suggestive and corrective discussions concerning Courtesy was planned by the Cus- toms and Traditions Committee, headed by Bruce Grogg. Several appreciated assemblies were held throughout the week of March 8-12. Appropriate programs designed to make the student body more aware of courteous habits were conducted in the home rooms.

The Student Council is composed of one mem- ber from each home room, class presidents, and a representative from numerous organizations.

As in the past, the future North Siders were wel- comed to our school in an assembly by our prin- cipal, the dean, and representatives of numerous activities. They were then conducted through the school by members of the Student Council who answered all inquiries. Also, through the efforts of the Council, addi- tional emphasis was put upon walking on the side- walks, not the lawn, in the front of the building in order that the beauty of the green lawn and the surroundings of the school might become a credit to the students in general. THE LEGEND 1937 TEN YEARS THEY'VE BEEN BOOSTING By HARRY RUMMEL The motto of the Booster Club is service, And for the past ten years the Booster Club has faithfully carried out its motto by serving North Side in every way possible. The idea for a booster club was transplanted from Central High School in 1927, when Miss Julia Storr, who was one of the advisers of the Central Boosters, was put in charge of organizing a similar club here. By keeping the finest and discarding the less at- tractive features of Central's club, Nliss Storr suc- ceeded in forming the North Side Booster Club A A fx A - Front Row: D. Nieter. E. Gregg, V.

The activities of the present club include deco- rating the gymnasium and stadium, selling refresh- ments at all football and basketball games, fur- nishing stunts for the pep sessions, and serving the school in any other way it can. The Booster Club also supplies the cheerleaders with yell suits. and gives financial aid to worthy school projects. This year the club aided in the purchase of the new band uniforms. The Boosters also purchased a large wooden wigwam from which to sell re- freshments at the football games and a mechanical corn popper for use at the basket- ball games. The most important social event sponsored by the club is a spring dance given in honor of the Letter- men. The club also sponsors a pot- luck in the fall and a picnic in the spring for its members. To become a member of the Booster Club, one must be at least a sophomore. have passing grades in all subjects, and must earn at least twenty-hve points the hrst year and hfteen points annually. Points are given for decorating, selling, work on committees. and regular attend- ance. - The ofhcers of the club for che fall semester were Karl Rahdert. president, Harry Rummel. secretary, Earl Dressler, business manager, Helen Lee Pletcher, chairman of the Third Row: Aiusk, M.

One of the first activities of the newly organized club was to decorate the gym and sell refresh- ments for the sectional tourney held at North Side in 1928. One interesting idea carried out by the club was to furnish the members with red jackets, enabling them to form a large red NH in the root- ers section. Closs, point recorder.

NEXT STOP--HOLLYWOOD If only two words were allowed to describe the program of the North Side Student Players' Club for the year 1936-37, probably the two which would best describe it are successful activities. Making every play even more of a hit than the one preceding it, the club gained for itself the reputation of being one of the most outstanding organizations in North Side. Led ably by Robert Smith as president, Robert Swank, vice-president, and Pauline Koehlinger, secretary-treasurer, two one-act plays and the tra- ditional Christmas play were held during the first semester of the year. During the administration of Stanley Needham, president, Bonnie Kaade, vice-president, and Beatrice Andrews, secretary- treasurer, the annual senior play was staged. The hrst of the undertakings of the club was the presentation of two one-act plays before the student body. The first, a Russian comedy deal- ing with the activities of a temperamental suitor with palpitation of the heart trying to gain the hand of a girl, had three characters in it. Bonnie Kaade, James Mullendore, and Ellison Meier played these parts. The second play, a more ser- ious type, had a larger cast with Beatrice Andrews, Ralph Wolf, Robert Smith, Jane Gregg, and Mar- jorie Kronmiller playing the parts. These plays 60 were presented several times after their premier showing, and were very favorably received. Shortly after the presentation of these plays, a chance came for the North Side Student Players to match their skill and art against that of actors and actresses from the other high schools of the city. This contest was in the form of a radio dra- matization of a portion of the motion picture, DodsworthM, sponsored by one of the theaters of the city. Upholding the honor of the school, they brought home the baconn in the form of a cup which was donated to the school. The cast of this skit included James Mullendore as Dods- worthf, Beatrice Andrews as Mrs. Cortwright, Robert Smith as Major Loclcert, and Carolyn Bar- ber as the maid. Departing from all precedents, the Christmas play was a type entirely different from any here- tofore presented. Entitled Q'The Bellman of Mons , it required an unusually large cast with the various characters portrayed by Ellison Meier, Robert Swank, Stanley Needham, Evelyn Pinkus, Florence Kasimier, Nancy Elam, Elowene Bamer, Ann Bartholomew, Dorothea Fruechtenicht, Rich- ard Coleman, Ralph Wolf, Robert McConnell, Carolyn Barber, Donald Berning, and William Platlca. THE LEGEND 1937 THE DUSTERS OF OLD MANUSCRIPTS By CAROLYN BARBER Literature dry? Not to members of the Helicon Clubl Indeed, the purpose of the club, that of opening wider fields of the literary art to the in- terested student, certainly has succeeded. Subjects are taken up for which it would be impossible to find time in regular class work, but which, never- theless, are interesting and vital in creating a cul- tural background. Especially appropriate to this club is its name, Helicon, since in mythology, Helicon was a mountain sacred to poetry. The advisers are Miss Mildred Huffman, who assists in the various special club activities, and Mrs. Edith Winslow, who guides the program planning. The fall semester found the following officers: Clarence Lopshire, president, Bob Swank, vice-presidentg Theodosia Field, secretary-treas- urerg Don Berning and Betty Jane Greer, critics, and Carolyn Barber, program chairman. In the spring Clarence Lopshire and Theodosia Field were re-elected for president and secretary-treas- urer, respectively. The other officers were replaced by Helen Thieme, vice-presidentg Mary Chambers and Anita Aumann, critics: and Bonnie Kaade, program chairman. During the first semester the topics for discus- sion were based upon early American literature. The outstanding social event was a theatre party followed by a potluck at the home of Helen Thieme. During the course of the year the club spons- ored three money-raising ventures with the prime purpose of making a contribution to the new club room. The first was a very successful bake sale at the Barr Street market. This was followed by a Valentine Tea Dance, the proceeds of which were turned over to the Red Cross flood relief fund. Then came the skating party at Bell's Rink in March. This event was in charge of Ruth Needham. Helicon's chief and material contribution to the student body in general was the presentation of the annual Washington-Lincoln assembly. This was as interesting and beneficial as always. The president, Clarence Lopshire, introduced Harriet Snydor, who in turn presided at the assembly. The speakers were Mr. Loy C. Laney. Mr, Gar- wood Peeper, Mr. Tom Riddle Jr. and Mr. Ray Celter. Music was furnished by the A Cappella Choir under the direction of Mr. Chance. The meetings of the spring semester were filled with many entertaining programs. These were especially close to us Hoosiers. since they were discussions of Indiana poetry, drama, humor, and novels. First Row: E. Bamer, M, Kronmiller, B. Greer, H. Snydor, B. Kaade, H, Thieme, C.

Besides taking, developing, printing, and ex- hibiting pictures, it has performed a great service to the school in secur- ing and showing slides and films. Approximately fifty sets of slides and films have been distributed this year among the teachers to whom they could be of service in the class. The Camera Club has also en- deavored to create a greater interest in photography among the students. With an active membership of thirty, it has become one of North Side's foremost educational and so- cial organizations. The president of Camera Club is Lester Frankenstein, who has spent several years in service of this club and took an active part with Robert McDowell and Stanley Munger in taking snapshots for the Legend. Other ofhcers are vice-president, John Harveyg secretary and treasurer, Jane Bates. During noon hours a number of two-cent mov- ies have been shown by the members of Camera Club. The program is arranged so that a capable member is available during any period of the day to run the moving picture machine. Outstanding members of the club who hold re- sponsible positions are as follows: Film manager, Charles Cleaver, slide chairman, Mae Barnett with James Bixby, assistantg assistant film manager, Charles Parish, program chairman, Max Alte- kruseg dark room chairman, Bob McDowell, and advertising manager, LeRoy Robinson. The Camera Club sponsored a number of pri- vate and public social events during the year. These events consisted of the fall and spring picnics, Christmas party, skating party, a very original dance which was decorated with large bill-board pictures of current movies, and several hikes, which were held for the purpose of taking snap- shots. 62 TI-IE LEGEND 1937 FCR THE BIRDIE First Row: R.

Any member of the club may enter as many snap- shots as he desires. The contests are judged by either the members themselves, a group of teach- ers, or a critic from outside of school. The newest advancement in the activities of the Camera Club is the setting aside of a space in the North Side trophy case for the snapshot of the week taken by a North Side member of the Cam- era Club. Thus far the Camera Club owns developing and printing equipment in the dark room, a camera and kodak flashlight, an excellent enlarger which enables the advanced members to do all types of photography, a synchronizer for pictures taken in action, and all new dark room equipment. Lately the club has been divided into two classes: first-class members who have passed a test on their knowledge of cameras, developing, and printing, and second-class members who attend the meetings and learn the mechanics of photography but are not allowed to vote until they pass their test and become first-class members. contests which are TI-IE LEGEND 1937 SIGHTS FOR SURE EYES Paint is not cosmetics to the Art Club members.-It adorns their can- vases instead.

Augmented by this splendid start, the club then enjoyed the privilege of hearing Miss Pate divulge the mysteries and enchantment of Eur- fenichf- A- A ope, seen on her European tour dur- ing the summer months. Also at this meeting, plans for the G. A. A. vaudeville in which the artists' organization has always taken an active part, were discussed. Mary Edith Harvey, aided by Betty Altekruse, Martha Dye, Nancy Elam, Kenneth Fosnaugh, Jackie Huguenard, Ray Sea- man, and Patty Sweet, was selected as responsible for arrangements. Third Row One of the highlights of the Art Club's social season was the dance, Candlelight Swing, held De- cember 19. Melba Sharp was general chairman of the affair, while Eleanor Carrol obtained the orchestra. This year was certainly an outstanding one for the Rembrandfs. In addition to the interesting events described above, their schedule further fea- tured talks by Miss Bash and Homer Davisson, In- dianals most prominent artist. Miss Bash described her trailer trip through Glacier Park and illustrated her talk with motion pictures. Mr. Davisson painted an oil painting of one of the students of North Side. Coinciding with Mr. Davisson's visit was an ex- hibition of etchings, woodcuts, and lithographs sent by members of the American Artists' group. First Row: Nl. Sharp, Nl. Sauer, D.

Those chosen to guide the club were, president, Melba Sharp, vice-president, Anita Anderson, sec- retary, Aline Romickg treasurer, Raymond Sea- man. The Art Club is one of the few clubs in school which the members have joined because of their class contacts with the department. Consequently an unusual unity of purpose and effort is found. Because of this the club is able to proceed most efficiently and rapidly towards the completion of any projects they have undertaken. Besides being responsible for practically all the advertising and publicity that the various clubs re- quire for their social events, the club also aids in campaigns and drives. This indeed is appreciated by the other groups, who find their co-operation and assistance invaluable. The advisers, Miss Gertrude Zook and Miss Bernice Sinclair, look back contentedly and rest easy in the knowledge that the Art Club has again proved itself an integral part of the student body and an organization that offers countless oppor- tunities. Well may they afford to do sol Adios, Art Club, and smooth painting! 63 THE LEGEND 1937 If First Row: Swain, Swain, P. Koehlinger, E. Bamer, Mr. Thomas, Morris, Mr. Chambers, A. Au- mann, B.

A PINCH--AND WATCH IT FOAM Students especially interested in physics and chemistry find further expression by participating in the activities of the Phy-Chem Club, extra-cur- ricular organization for scientific study. Meeting on every first and third Monday in each month, the club had quite a number of interesting pro- grams. They included lectures, student demon- strations, and held trips. Among those of the last season, the trip to the Perfection Biscuit Company on November 16 was probably the most enjoyed, perhaps because of the delicious samples handed out. Mr. Harvey Mul- lendore escorted the group through the plant, showing them the laboratory where the raw ma- terials are tested before being used, and the bakery where the bread is baked, sliced, and wrapped. Une meeting which went off literally with a bang was the one on February 15 in which Bob Swank and Clarence Lopshire demonstrated ex- plosives. For the first explosion the boys ex- plained and demonstrated what often happens in Flour mills and starch factories when the combus- tion of the dust-laden air takes place rapidly and violently. They also showed the explosion of gasoline vapor and gas by ignition. Further interesting programs consisted of talks on State Parks by Mr. Michaud, biology teacher. who has had many experiences as a guide in Tn- diana parks: the testing of metals, by Mr. Miller 64 of the General Electric Company, a summary of progress of Physics and Chemistry in 1936, a sci- entific review of the flood disaster, and a demon- strated talk on the chemistry of inks. Sulfuric acid and gas phosphene were prepared by Swank. Lopshire, and Bob McDowell. Field trips were taken to the electrical testing department, chemi- cal laboratories, and the small motors department of the General Electric, the International Har- vester plant, the filtration plant, the gas plant, and the Furnas Ice Cream plant. Catherine Cameron served as Phy-Chem's presi- dent during the fall semester, and was succeeded by Jack Morris in January. James Mullendore and Mary Chambers, as the respective vice-presi- dents, planned all of the programs and field trips for the club, while the office of secretary-treasurer was held by Carolyn Barber and James Adams. Nlr. Thomas, better known as Tommy , and Mr. Chambers, who instruct in chemistry and physics, respectively, were the faculty advisers. The Phy-Chem Club also enjoyed a full social program. In September, the annual skating party proved financially successful, as well as entertain- ing. A Weiner bake at Mullendore's farm in Oc- tober was followed by an enjoyable potluck in the cafeteria just before Thanksgiving. Ruth Anna I-larrod was in charge of the arrangements for the party which included games and dancing. The annual picnic in June closed the season. TI-IE LEGEND 1937 THEY GIVE AND GIVE Warsl Floods! Fires! Earthquakes! The American Red Cross is always waiting to aid in case of any of these emergencies. The Junior Red Cross of North Side High School is one of the many members of the American Red Cross Association. Since the North Side chapter is just one of the many, its real purpose is to help others, not only in case of emergencies but, also, to help the unfortunate. During 1936 and 1937, the North Side Chap- ter donated much in the way of food, clothing, and articles necessary for comfortable living, to the needy. Ar Thanksgiving, baskets containing food for the holiday dinner were given to the needy. The Red Cross always tries to give the food to the unfortunate people that are living in the North Side district. Baskets of fruit, candy, toys. and food were given to the needy at Christ- mas time. Again at Easter the Red Cross Club showed that they were really good samaritans, and that they were really living up to their pledges. Besides giving baskets of food, the club also helped by having school wide drives for clothing and toys during the great emergency this winter, the flood! The clothing drive proved to be very successful. Although the drive held in order to get games for the children who were victims of this great tragedy, did not prove quite so success- ful, many people did respond to the call. They have collected books to send to mountain districts of Kentucky and Tennessee. The Friend- ship Committee has made many Scrapbooks to send to old peoples' homes, homes for wounded soldiers, and some to foreign lands. These are some of the most important things that the club has done this year. The officers of the club elected for the fall sem- ester were as follows: Betty Lopshire, president, Helen Hartnup, vice-president, Betty Jane Greer, secretary, and Marjorie Aubrey, treasurer. These same officers were re-elected for the spring sem- ester. Doris Greenler is point recorder. The chairmen of the committees are: Eileen Snider, social, Beverly McCoy, service, Helen Hartnup, program, Elsie Mae Boese. publicity, Marge Dren- nen, friendship. The Red Cross participated in many social events during the school year 1936-1937. A tea dance was sponsored by the club on October 9. The club also sponsored a dance after the Central Catholic-North Side basketball game on January 15. Eileen Snider served as general chairman. Both Mrs. Chapman. the former Maryann Rol- ler, and Miss Greenwalt have been very active as advisers of the club. and, in a great measure, the success of the organization is due to their efforts.

This organization, which is one of North Side's honorary societies, aims to establish high standards in all phases of speech work and speech improvement. The North Side chapter represented Indiana in be- ing the largest in the state in the ratings of the League's monthly publication, The Rostrum. The National Forensic League energetically spons- ors many contests. Of these, perhaps the most important are the semi-annual Koerber extemp contests. The winner of the first contest was James Mullendore, with James Jackson and Betty Lopshire placing second and third respectively. The other finalists were Beatrice Andrews and Katherine Crofts. The second of the principal contests was the Junior-Senior oratorical contest which was won by William Swager in the junior division and Harriet Snydor in the senior division. Second and third places among the juniors was captured by Richard Urbine and Betty Boone, respectively, while James Jackson and James Mullendore finished second and third of the seniors. Other finalists were: juniors, Phyllis North, Katherine Crofts, Marjorie Kronmiller, Joan Hueberg and seniors, Allen Mc- Meen, Helen Kelley, Beatrice Andrews, and Betty Lopshire. The speech department under the direction of Loy C. Laney, with the invaluable aid of the other departments, supervised radio station WGL for an entire Saturday using student announcers and stu- dent talent. These programs were acknowledged to be highly successful. Debating began in earnest with the Indiana State Debate Conference held at Purdue, Decem- 66 Marilyn Young. Bob Johnson. Charles Kleffen.

The varsity debate teams were unusually large this year, having an enrollment of twelve active members. Upholding the affirmative side of this question, Resolved, that all electric utilities should be governmentally owned and operatedn, were James Jackson, Katherine Crofts, Beatrice Andrews, Morrison Miller, Robert Johnson, and Richard Bruick. Betty Lopshire, James Mullen- dore, Harriet Snydor, William Swager, Phyllis North, and Richard Urbine comprised the nega- tive teams. These teams became the Northeastern Indiana District Conference champions having won all their debates in the conference schedule. These teams with the reserve teams also attend- ed the Elkhart Invitational tourney and were hosts to the tourney held a week later at North Side. Out of a total of 93 debates, North Side won 56 and lost 27. As a result of this strenuous debating, it was found that four senior members of the squad had earned a hundred or more points for which they were awarded the highest degree of the National Forensic League, the degree of distinc- tion. The following members were presented with their ruby keys, the symbol of the honor: Beatrice Andrews, Harriet Snydor, James Jackson, and James Mullendore. THE LEGEND 1937 COMING, COMING, COMING North Side has long felt the need for an organi- zation for the purpose of preparing underclassmen to take an active place in speech work. To accom- plish this, Mr. Loy C. Laney inaugurated a new club known as the junior Forensic League. Although this group is not an honorary society as is the National Forensic League. nevertheless by a system of points and honors, which has been carefully worked out, it is an instrument to serve as a stepping stone to higher achievement in speech and their membership in the National For- ensic League. Through this club preparation for an elimination in the various underclassman con- tests is brought about with the help of the mem- bers of the National League and older public speaking students. The first ofhcers of this club were William Ger- hard, presidentg Marie Andrews, vice-president: Nancy Elam, secretaryg Bob McConnell, treasurerg and Betty Pridgeon, historian. For the second semester the officers were Kath- ryn Gerig, president, Patricia Sparling, vice-presi- dent, Martha Dye, secretary, Dean Needham, treasurer, Nancy Hattersley, chairman of social committee, Paula Bailey, chairman of membership committee, and Margarite Berning, chairman of the constitution committee. In the Freshman-Sophomore Dec- lamation Contest in the Freshman section Dean Needham placed first, Betty Pridgeon, second, and Anna Jane Bayers, third. In the Sopho- more section Vvilliam Swager took first place, Marilyn Young, second, and Ellen Kattell, third. The second underclassman con- test was the Freshman-Sophomore extemporaneous speaking contest. During the year this club held un- usually successful social affairs. The Hard Luck dance, sponsored by the Junior Forensic exclusively for freshmen and sophomores, staged an all-time high in fun, each detail of the afternoon's entertainment they led in the sale of stationery which the two Forensic Leagues sponsored in conjunction with another. This club has a large group of graduates. those students who have now joined the ranks of the National Forensic League as a result of the good training they received while in the junior division. Semi-finalists in the Freshman-Sophomore Ex- temporaneous contest were, in the Sophomore di- vision, Melvin Yocum, Dick Bruick, Bob Johnson. Charles Kleifen, Ellen Kattell, Bob McConnell, Virginia McCorit1ick, Marilyn Young, Pat Spar- ling, Rose Steiber, Betty Pridgeon, Billie Jean Krick, Dean Needham, and Alice McGahey. Tn the Freshman division were Glendola Baker, Fahma North, .Ioan Cary, Charles Thomas, Mar- guerite Berning, Paula Bailey, Elizabeth Gunther, Peggy Johns, Martha Dye, Shirley Helmuth. Fondah Shook, Shirley Field, and Carl Hofer. This contest and the others previously men- tioned formed an active outlet for the speaking ability of these underclassman members. The membership of this organization is perhaps the largest of any other similar junior organization, and, from all indications, the Junior Forensic League will continue to be an active organization.

Other of- ficers were: Betty Murchlancl, Mary Lou Hunter, Elaine Gregg, Mary Jane Snook, Kathleen Oet- ting, and Anna Fett. Although its name suggests regions of rather extensive frigidity, the Polar-Y Club, by means of its broad and varied program as well as its large and active membership, fully dispels any doubts in this direction. As a result of its affiliation with the Girl Reserve clubs and the Y. W. C. A., this organization has been responsible in a large meas- ure for the creation of a friendly interschool rela- tionship between North Side and the other schools of the city, as well as furthering a spirit of co- operation in the school itself. For the fall semester, Betty Boone was chosen ro lead the girls. She was assisted by Vivian Wal- born, vice-president, Bonnie BenDure, secretary, and Betty Murchlancl, treasurer. Other members of the cabinet were Anita Aumann, Mary Lou Hunter, Charlene Reamer, Kathleen Oetting, Vir- ginia Gruber, and Elaine Gregg. North Side is also represented in the Inter-Club Council, composed of oHicers of all high school clubs. Betty Boone has been president of that group during the spring semester. For the second semester Betty Boone was again elected president. Her assistants were: Vivian Walborn. vice-president, Charlene Reamer, secre- A great part of the work of the club is service work, and this was carried out as in other years. The first work of this kind was the hemming of sixty towels for the Needlework Guild. Baskets were filled for unfortunate families at Thanksgiv- ing and Christmas time, and, at Easter, the girls filled baskets of candy and eggs for the children. In addition to this the members aided the Y. W. C. A. in collecting a mile of nickels for a World Fellowship project. Many programs were outstanding, some of a ceremonial type while others were very informal. The Hrst important meeting was on October 13, when fifty members were initiated. During the second semester, the outstanding event was a very successful dance. Other impor- tant meetings were the initiation, the World Fel- lowship meeting, the Mother-Daughter Tea and the Senior Farewell party. A joint Girl Reserve dance was also held during the sectional tourna- ment. First Row: Miss Burwell, A Rodemeyer, Ringle, M. Hunter, E. Gregg, M. Snook, B. BenDure, C. Reamer, B. Boone, V.

THE MAKERS OF OUR PAPER The Northerner, North Side's weekly news- paper, had a most successful season this year. About one hundred seventy students are on the staff under the direction of Nliss Rowena Harvey. The Northerner received many awards for the hard labor put upon it. The chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, a professional journalistic fraternity, at Indiana University awarded The Northerner the highest rating in co- operation with the State Fair. The Northerner was on exhibit at the Fair. First rank was obtained in Columbia Scholastic Press Association contest. The Northerner also re- ceived two All-Columbian awards from C. S. P. A. One was for all-around excellence in sports with Philip Olofson as sports editor, and the other was for creative writing. The International Honor Rating as highest Quill and Scroll award was again obtained by the Northerner. Philip Olofson was awarded first place in the East Central States in a sports writing contest con- ducted by Quill and Scroll. Honorable mentions were given to Louise Hessert for editing copy and for headline writing, to Phil Olofson for feature writing, to Stan Needham for editorial writing, and to Stan Munger for current events. Stan Needham, Verdonna Tuttle, and Gertrude Jaehn were publishers. Jim Jackson and Ver- donna Tuttle were managing editors under Stan Needham. Doris Greenler was managing editor under Gertrude -laehn. Bill Darling and Kath- erine Crofts were editors while Stan Needham was publisher, with Katherine continuing in that position throughout the remainder of the year. Gertrude Jaehn was news editor during the first semester with Dorothy Nieter taking up that job for the second. Tom Suedhoff was advertising manager. Copy editors were -lean Scott, Louise Hessert, and Dorothy Price. On December 3 to 5, eight students went with Miss Harvey to the National Press Convention at Detroit, Michigan. This group consisted of Ver- donna Tuttle, Stan Needham, Jim Jackson. Bill Darling, Gertrude Jaehn, Tom Suedhoff, Helen Brudi, and Omar Kenyon. They attended a series of lectures by outstanding people who are noted for their work on school papers and yearboolcs. In March, Miss I'larvey and Stan Needham at- tended the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Convention at Columbia University. The delegates attended conferences concerning school publica- tions. They also visited outstanding points of in- terest in New York City. For their outstanding work on the Northerner this year, Gertrude Jaehn, Phyllis North, and Kathleen Closs will hold high positions on the Legend staff next year. 69 WGN BY A SCRAWL By RAY RACINE The 1500 Club, commonly known as the 'lpotluclc club , was steered through the past year by Phyllis North, president, Kathleen Closs, vice-president, Stanley Munger, sec- retary, Gertrude Jaehn, treasurer, and Miss Rowena Harvey, factulty adviser. The requirements for membership in this club is to have 1500 points that one can build towards by writ- ing news or feature stories, getting advertising, collecting bills, writing heads, proof reading, and many other things.

There are nine persons who have received silver pins and twenty-four with bronze pins. Another honor society for journalists is the Quill and Scroll, which is an international honor- ary society for high school newspapermen. To be- come a member of this society one must be in the upper third of his class, active in Northerner or Legend work for one year or more, have an out- standing character, be approved by the national head, be a graduating senior. Eight North Side seniors were selected by Miss Rowena Harvey to the Quill and Scroll society this year. They were Helen Brudi, credit manager of The Northerner and circulation manager of The Legend, William Darling, editor of The Northerner and The l Legend, Norman Foster, sports edi- tor of The Northerner and The Legend, Dorothea Fruechtenicht, makeup editor of The Northerner, Doris Greenler, managing editor of The Northerner and circulation manager of The Legend, James Jackson, sports editor of The North- erner and senior editor of The Legend, Stanley Needham, pub- lisher of The Northerner and busi- ness manager of The Legend, and Verdonna Tuttle, publisher of The Northerner. They received their Quill and Scroll pins, and a certifi- cate of membership in this organi- zation at a joint banquet with South Side High School pledges on May 12, which was followed by a theatre party. Theodosia THE LEGEND 1937 JUST RIPPLIN' ALONG The Quill Club is perhaps the most unusual club at North Side. It is above all a very original club, having no ofhcers, no pins, and no regular meetings. A meeting of this club is called when these literatists feel inspired and wish to write some prose or a poem. This club is very interesting because of the fact that all the composings and inspirations are original and thus brings out each person's individuality in the club. This club is a purely honorary club, composed of students who are exceptional in composition. Therefore the work done in this club is all very good, and Ripples , the magazine which they publish, has many inter- esting and amusing articles in it. The Quill Club began its first ac- tivities in 1927-28, when school was - first opened. The founders of this literary club were Jean Bouillet, Philip Bowen. Margaret Umbach, Margaret Smenner, Margaret Berg- hoff, and Melvin Koenig. The cus- tom of this club is to publish annual- ly Ripples , a magazine of prose, poetry, essays, and compositions written by the official Quill club members and by students in regular English classes. This magazine was not published the first year because of many difii- culties which arose at that time. In 1928-29 Jean Bouillet and Philip Bowen, the only two remaining mem- bers. continued their writing and with the aid of the new members of the club, they published their first issue of Ripples , that year. At this time Lewis Kenyon designed the cover for the magazine, and since then it has been used each successive year, the only change being the color. Under Mr. Charles Dickinson, English instruc- tor and adviser of the Quill Club, the magazine, Ripples , has been a great success. He has been this club's adviser since it was first established. The standard of this club is very high, and since membership to it is honorary, only extended to those excelling in literary work, this club is some- thing to strive for, to better literary ability. The glory one receives in this club is not a medal nor a pin, but it is the joy of seeing one's own work in print and the thoughts of doing these things without any aid, but to know they are pure- ly original. There is much happiness in achieving a thing alone. and this is how each member feels when Ripples is published. Each member does his part and they share the honor of the magazine together. The members this year are James Jackson, Stanley Needham, Harry Rummel, Wendell John- son, Beatrice Andrews, Theodosia Field, Phyllis Firestone, Helen Tmbody, Betty Stavenilc. Betty Dammon, Katherine Crofts, and Ruth Needham. This year's edition of Ripples was distributed First Row lleft to rightiz Jackson, R. Needham, B. Andrews, T. Field, P. Firestone, H.

Almost the whole of 700 copies were sold this year, and this year was placed on rhi- records as one of the most successful of Rip- ples' N ten years of service. Subscriptions for Ripples are received in the several English classes of the school prior to the time of its publication. No regular campaign is heldg however, the students are given the chance to subscribe and, as in the past. needed no urging. Ripples has always been well received, and the acclaims for this year's bool: were certainly no less enthusiastic. XVe thank you, Quill Club, for another fine con- tribution to North Side's literature. 71 THIS CLUB 4-C'S THE FUTURE MAN By JIM JACKSON The Redskin Hi-Y Club, organ- ized for the purpose of creating, maintaining, and extending high standards of Christian character in both the school and community, is a club operated exclusively for North Side boys. The ideal em- bodied in the Hi-Y movement is best expressed, perhaps, in the planks of its platform. What finer motive can there be than to instill into the character of young men the fundamentals of clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and, lastly, clean living. The activities of the club, all di- rected toward the above motive, con- THE LEGEND 1937 First Row: Mr. Hartley, C. Waterfall, Stahn, A. Schroeder, R. Lar- son, Mr. Reeves. Second Row: E. Yergens, R.

The weekly meetings are held every Thursday evening at the Y. M. C. A. Some of the activities of the 1936-37 season are as follows: Speeches were made by Mr. Thomas of the North Side faculty on chemistry, Mr. Michaud on the State Parks of Indiana, and Judge Leonard on the principles embodied in the Y. M. C. A. Other addresses to the boys' group were given by Mr. Russel Earle, the Rev. Frederick Grotzema, and Mr. Clifford Sprunger of the Y. M. C. A. A joint potluck with the Central and South Side chapters was held, and featured a talk by Mr. Allen Lomont, state representative. On March 17, the club sponsored the 4 C's campaign at North Side. The campaign, inaugurated by an assembly at which the Rev. Paul Krauss gave an inspirational talk, was a marvelous success. Dick Larsen, Art Schroeder, and Harry Rummel participated in this assembly. On April 18, the Hi-Y's of the city and the Polar-Y's went to Plymouth Church in a body. The formal initiation of the group was held on April 8. Activities which infiuenced more indi- vidually were the organization of a basketball Squad, group swimming, and other sport affairs. The basketball team, which won the Christmas 72 vacation tourney, was composed of Ralph Nleyer, Wendell johnson, Art Schroeder, Oscar Branson, Paul Thieme, and Bob Rupel. Donald Berning was the delegate to the Inter- national Hi-Y Conference at Berea College. Ken- tucky. So much for the social activities of this truly active organization. Administration of the club was placed in the hands of Mr. Dave Hartley and Mt. Leslie Reeves, popular faculty advisers, and Vic Kow- alczyk and Art Schroeder, respective presidents of the club for the two semesters. Mr. Mosher and Mr. Pennington were former advisers. Other officers were: First semester, Donald Berning, vice-president and chairman of the social com- mittee, jim Adams, treasurer, and Dick Larson, secretary, second semester: Dick Larsen, vice- president, Clark Waterfall, secretary, Jim Stahn, treasurer, and Harold Rahe, chairman of the pro- gram committee. These officers and advisers served very capably and were responsible for much of the interesting program of the group. Enough for Hi-Y. Need it be said that this club, composed as it is, of a worthy membership and capable advisorship, plays an important role in the school life of many a Redskin boy. It is an organization of service, and succeeds in its ideals. THE LEGEND 1937 FROM THE GROUND UP! By ELLEN CARN EY The Geography Council and the Nature Club strive to conquer the great out-of-doors in two different ways. The Nature Club endeavors to create and maintain interest in all phases of the study of natural science. The Geography Council considers the problems in the teach- ing and the study of geography. The members also carry on field studies in the vicinity of Fort Wayne. These two science clubs at North Side belong to the Indiana Junior First Row: Y. Foley, E. Bowman, M. Arnold, Nlr. F. Breeze.

Wy'ss. zation consists of more than thirty affiliated high school science clubs throughout the state of Indiana, and are under the jurisdiction of the Indiana Academy of Science. Members of both the Nature Club and the Geography Council are preparing projects to be exhibited at the an- nual meeting of this science organization. This meeting is always held in October at North Man- chester, Indiana. The North Side Nature Club meets each third Wednesday of the month. One additional meet- ing is held each month in the form of a hike or visit to some place of interest. This year the club visited Strohl's Nursery, and took a number of outdoor hikes. Marshall Whitehurst has selected a very unusual subject for his project, he took photographs of plants at the various stages of growth. Virginia Prentiss made a collection of bird nests, while Bob I-Iattersley made a special study of bird life. Among the many interesting meetings of the Nature Club, these are the most outstanding. In March, Mr. Willer gave an illustrated lecture on birds. The April meeting was in charge of Kath- leen Oetting, who gave a talk on her hobby which is the breeding of birds. The last meeting of the year is in Juneg it is always held in the form of a picnic and a hike. Ofiicers of the Nature Club for the 1936-1937 term were Tom Carroll, president, Marion Gil- lieron, vice-presidentg Arthur Schroeder, secre- tary-treasurer. Faculty advisers are Miss Vesta Thompson and Mr. Howard Michaud. The Geography Council under the direction of Mr. Frederick Breeze carries on many interesting field studies. Contour maps, locating the old channels of the Saint Mary's and Saint Joseph rivers, studying the limestone quarries at Hunting- ton, Indiana, and locating the Moraines in the vi- cinity of Fort Wayne, are among some of the projects accomplished by the members of this or- ganization. This year the geographic minded group took a hike to Robison Park. They also sent up a balloon to test the velocity and direction of the wind. The Geography Council holds its meeting on the second Thursday of each month. Ir is a de- partmental club, that is, a club created for the in- terest of a student studying either Physical or Commercial Geography. Officers for the Council are elected each year. For the term starting in September and ending in June Ronald Bishop was elected president. Other ofiicers were Paul Thomp- son, vice-president, Kent Evans, secretary-treas- urer. Gene Riley was selected to represent the club in the Student Council. These two clubs were founded in the fall of 1931. They have been growing ever since and are destined to become two of North Side's most suc- cessful extra-curricular activities in the field of science. 73 I THE LEGEND 193 7 SMELL THAT FOOD--M-M-M The way to a man's heart is through his stom- ach. Ar least that is what the Honie Economics Club of North Side hopes, for in their club activi- ties they prepare to become worthy home-makers. Since most girls find a knowledge of this art very useful in later life, the Home Ec Club and the de- partment related to it are an important part of high school education. During the past year thirty- one girls constituted the membership of the club. Cfiicers, who were elected in September, are Betty Gran, presidentg Marguerite McKown, vice- president, Glenna Sayles, secretary, Virginia Bern- ing, treasurer, Esther Bracht, representative in Student Councilg and Jean Smith, point recorder. The club meets every first Tuesday of the month and the committees meet every third Tuesday. The Home Economics Club chose for its theme this year, Getting Along with People. In order to carry out its purpose, this club spon- sored very interesting programs for its members. Une of these was the Christmas party, given as the result of a membership drive between the Reds and Whites. The Reds won the drive which result- ed in the Whites giving them a party. The girls, to add interest in the club, started a quilt. Ar each of the meetings, as a special project, - A IN.. First Row: G. Sayles, V. Berning, Miss Pate, B. Gran, Miss Beierlein, M. McKown, A.

After the reading of the chapter, it was divided among the girls and talks were given expressing various opinions by them with the thought of the theme of the club kept in mind. The Home Ec Club presented a clever skit in the Vod-Vil, Did She Fall or Was She Pushed? The girls who took part are Glenna Sayles, Edith Shie, Irma Jane Tinkle, Elizabeth Ginther, Marie Platt, Norma Gene Henry, Virginia Thomas, Mar- guerite McKown, Vera Jean Herrman, Evelyn Dunn, and Virginia Berning. In place of one of the meetings, the girls held a Mother's Tea. The guests were the mothers of the Home Economics Club, Miss Gross, and Miss DeVilbiss. In charge of the programs were Esther Bracht and Glenna Sayles. On April 6 South Side High School Home Economics Club invited the North Side group of girls to a party given in their honor. As enter- tainment for the affair, some of the South Side girls sang selections from their operetta. A tour was taken of the school as the climax to a very enjoyable time. Surpassing all of the very interesting meetings and social activities was the initiation service which was held in 310. It was a very beautiful and im- pressive affair. Following the for- mal initiation, the informal initiation took place, which made the initiates full-fledged Home Ec Club girls. An added meeting to the Home Economics Club this year was the farewell party given to the graduat- ing seniors. As a climax of the club's social activities, the annual banquet was held in May at the Y. W. C. A. Guests at the banquet were the alumnae members of the previous year. A very enjoyable time was had by all present. In charge of these activities are the officers who are advised and aid- ed by the club sponsors, Miss Pate i and Miss Beierlein. The officers of the Home Economics department have led the club through a very successful year. THE LEGEND 1937 THIS, GUR BCJOK By ALLEN MCMEEN Get your story in and Take this picture were much used phrases in The Legend room this year as the staff of the 1937 year- book was swung into action by Bill Darling, the editor. ' Bill received his appoint- ment to this honored posi- tion from Miss Rowena Harvey, the capable adviser, as he ended his last year on 'the football squad in Octo- ber. Immediately these two selected a well-round- ed staff consisting of: Stanley Needham and Har- ry Rummel as co-business managers, Helen Brudi and Doris Greenler as co-circulation managers, Stanley Munger as photographer, Norm Foster, sports editor, jim Jackson., Philip Olofson, Omar Kenyon, and Shirley Field as senior, junior, soph- omore, freshman editors respectively, Phyllis North as organizations editor, and Ralph Wolf and Jim Mullendore as copy editors. Immediately the business and circulation staffs went to town. At the time that this story is writ- ten in April the Legend has 785 subscriptions and. before the book is published, 825 are expected. These 785 make a new all-time record in Legend subscriptions. The 1937 staff also set another new record of 216 subscriptions in one day. The busi- ness managers went before the various clubs and classes -to get pledges. Nleanwhile, The Legend, as one of its activities, held a dance in the cafeteria. The dance was called the Valen- tine Promf' Bill Darling act- ed as general chairman with Helen Brudi in charge of dec- orations. The dance went over with a bang. Later in the year The Legend held an assembly with Miss Betty Robinson, an Olympic star, as - - - the starring attraction.

Jack Morris, Beatrice Andrews, Katherine Crofts. -lohn Walley, Wendell Johnson, and Bob Smith. This staff functioned in fine style in the writing of stories, taking pictures, collecting pledges, get- ting subscriptions, and other annual requirements. The date of printing was set for 1Vlay 10. With flying colors, the staff came throughg working hard, and the book went to press on time! Thanks must also be given to the members of the staff who made the fine posters for the Legend dance, subscription campaign, and its numerous other activities. These post- ers were made by the art de- partment, Wendell Johnson, Bob Smith, and the editor. We give credit to Bill Dar- ling and his staff. The c1ass of 1937 is certainly proud of you, Bill, for what we think is the finest of all Legends. and, as a member of the senior class, 1 certainly hope you who read it, in leafing through our book, are pleased with its contents. This is our contribution to North Side's progress in journalism. 75 Since the year of its found- ing in September, 1927, this school has grown not only in the number of its students but also in intellectual achievements.

ORIGINAL FACULTY THE LEGEND 1937 FROM THESE, OUR MUSIC The lV1usic Department of North Side, which consists of three groups, band, orchestra, and A Cappella Choir, has done outstanding work dur- ing the 1936-1937 school year. Mr. Varner M. Chance, capable director of the music department, has been responsible for this outstanding work. The A Cappella Choir, which consists of forty mixed voices, has probably done the most out- standing worl: of all three groups. The hrst pro- gram in which the choir participated was at the State NV. C. T. U. Conven- tion held November 17. Following this came the big- gest event in which the choir took part. During the annual teachers conven- tion the choir had the great honor of being used as a voice clinic under the direc- tion of Mr. Max T. Krone, director of music at the Northwestern University. On November 11, the choir assisted with the Arm- istice Day ceremonies held at the Paramount Theater. December 21, the forty voices were heard on our own stage in a Christmas Assembly, and in the after- noon ofthe same day at the Rotary Club luncheon the choir again gave forth music. During the recent Inter-Racial meeting held at the Shrine Auditorium, the choir was again honor- ed in singing for this great event. The North Side Band, which is divided into two separate parts. a training band of twenty-three stu- dents and a concert band with fifty-one students, comes second in outstanding work. Don Steele has been assisting Mr. Chance with the training band. The band displayed some excellent maneuv- ers at the football games. The most spectacular maneuver which will always linger in the minds of the people is the huge clock which the band formed on the field. 76 First Row: H. Thieme The band marched in the Armistice Day parade, and on November 13 the band gave a concert at our own auditorium. New uniforms were given out at the beginning of the school year. They added a great deal of beauty and color to our North Side band. The orchestra consisting of fifty-three members progressed more this year than any other phase of the music department. This progress was due to the constant practice which prevailed. From the , A. Aumann, R. Needham, R. Anna Harrod, lVlr. Varner Chance, H. Imbody, H. Elett, M. Kronmiller, B. Kaade, M. A. Wfalker.

A. had as its first captain Miss Hilda Schwehn. It was on October Z, that Miss Schwehn left her post to sail to Purdue Uni- versity as a teacher. Even though we were all greatly disheartened at the parting of our captain, who had been our friend and adviser for so many years, we found joy in the fact that it was a pro- motion for her. Then, for two weeks, we had Mrs. Stover as our adviser. It was on November 9, that Miss Margaret Spiegel joined our ranks as captain. She at once won the admiration and friendship of all the girls, and so after a few con- fused weeks the crew settled down to more peace- ful sailing. The student ofhcers at the helm of G. A. A. for the year were: Helen Klein, president, Dolores Woodard, vice-president, Helen Brudi, secretary- treasurer, and Bertha Bennett, point recorder, very capable officers they were, too! The first of G. A. A.,s many cruises was the annual Hay-Ride held on October 16, with Eliza- beth Stolte as general chairman. 78 The next event was G. A. Afs largest social function, the G. A. A. Frosty Frolicf' The Vod- Vil turned out to be a huge success with approxi- mately eight hundred persons attending the per- formance. Very entertaining stunts were present- ed by the North Side clubs and classes. The Senior Class of 1937 was awarded first place. The Vod-Vil was headed by Anita Aumann and Janet Juday, who were assisted by Bobbette Whitacre, program chairman, Florence Kasimier, decora- tions, Mary Alice Walker, ushers, and Ann Bar- tholomew, publicity. The next month a potluck and initiation for thirty-seven girls was held with Dolores Woodard as chairman. In December, the G. A. A. held its annual Christmas Party at which about fifteen needy chil- dren were entertained. Ruth Williamson was in charge of this affair. These activities were followed by a skating party on March 12, and an all day play-day March 13. The events were in charge of Betty Nichols and Elizabeth Stolte, respectively. Another big event of the year was the annual THE LEGEND 1937 G. A. A. banquet held on May 21. The banquet was given by the juniors with Charlotte Bickel as general chairman. She was assisted by Nlildred Miller, decorations, Gertrude Jaehn, publicity, Eleanor Schwarz, tickets. The last social event was the annual breakfast hike at Franke Park. June 10. All of these functions proved delightful sailing for everyone. The regular athletic season opened with volley- ball. Two teams were selected from each class. After a very exciting tournament, honor teams were chosen and an honor tournament played. The Junior class was victorious. only after many exciting games. The girls on the honor junior team were: Leila Andrews, Charlotte Bickel, Joan Hueber. Gertrude Jaehn. Ruth Lotz, Mildred Miller, Catherine Peters, Viola Prochal, Charlene Reamer, Florence Robison, Eleanor Schwarz, and Ruth Wyatt. Next came basketball. Basketball again brought its usual thrills for all participants. First a tournament was played among the various teams. Then honor teams were selected from each class, and an honor tour- nament played with the seniors vic- torious. Those selected on the honor team were: Mary jane And- rews, Helen Klein, Elizabeth Stolte, Helen Lee Pletcher, Eileen Snider, Bertha Bennett, Betty Nichols, and Ruth Williamson. Next came a sport new to North Side girls, namely, speedball. This game, although an autumn sport, was practiced so that the girls would know something about speedball next fall when teams will be or- ganized and games will be played. After the rough sailing of speed- ball the sea again became calm as we started baseball. Baseball brought its usual number of home runs. from North Side's ace-hitters. Bowman. After baseball a few weeks of track were enjoyed. Among the events were running broad jump, high jump, dashes, and baseball throws. The North Side girls proved to have, as do the boys, many track stars. While all of these events were going on, a Student Leaders Club was organized by Miss Spiegel. In this club the girls learned hov' to referee and ofiiciate at basket- ball games. first-aid. how to ofiiciate at baseball games and many other useful things. The girls in this club were: Helen Klein. Bertha Bennett. Jean Shaw, Mildred Densil, Wlary jane Andrews, Leila Andrews, Charlotte Bickel. Eleanor Schwarz. Ruth Steward, Gwen Parrish, LaVern Herber.

Marjorie won the 40-yard breast stroke and two other events. At the close of the meet Betty was presented with an attractive gold medal for win- ning the meet. Ribbons were also awarded place winners in each event. The girl swimmers topped their year's voyage by presenting a per- , formance of the water pageant, ' How Swimming Grew Up, on the evening of May 20. This water pag- eant was the most colorful water pageant ever given by the girl swim- mers at North Side. The pageant was based on the Evolution of Swimming, and starts from the first caveman swimmers and brings us up to the present day swimming. We learn of the origin of swimming and of the first crude strokes used by primitive man. Then our many modern strokes and ways of diving were shown. During the pageant modern methods of life-saving were Life Saving demonstrated by North Side life- savers. The main characters taking part in this unique performance were: Father Neptune, Bonnie BenDureg Davy Jones, Katherine Briggsg Mr. A. Sinkeasy, Virginia Gutermuthg Mrs. World, Jean Shawg Mr. World, Mary Ellen Willy, and the Woman Swimming Instructor, Helen Klein. Approximately thirty-five other members completed the cast, which 1was the largest cast ever to be in a girls' swimming pageant at North 7 W Side. The entire performance was given in very unique costumes, which was fitting for the time. First Row: L. Andrews, L. I-Ierber, A. Meek, M. Spuhler, M. Carkenard, R. Needham, P, Firestine, Nl.

The two events sponsored by the girl swimmers, the individual swimming meet and the water pag- eant turned out to be very successful. The individual swimming meet held on April 12 was attended by a large crowd. Matey, Betty Nichols was declared winner of the event, with LaVerne Herber a close second. Marjorie Guethe, a freshman, was third place winner in the meet. 80 North Side is open to any girl who is interested in athletics and is will- ing to live up to the ideals of the club. The G. A. A. is the largest girls, club at North Side. It has grown in nine years from 28 to 130 members. So, we brought our ship into the North Side Harbor, and here we leave it to rest, until the next school term when G. A. A. travels will again be resumed, with another full crew and many ath- letic passengers. THE LEGEND 1937 SEE MY N ? The organization that was formed to honor the athletes of North Side is called the Lettermen,s Club. The officers for this year were Doyle Kilty, president, Warren Miller, vice-president, Norman Foster, secretary and treasurer. They were aided by Miss Julia Storr, Rolla Chambers, and Hyrle Ivy. the faculty advisers. The highlight of each year is the Letterrnen- Alumni banquet, which is held in honor of the alumni lettermen. All the lettermen from the time -1, First Row: Ivey, Kilty, Potts, McNeice, Branson, Stahn. Second Row: Boedecker, Miller, Poffenberger, Friedrick, Foster, Walley, Ormiston.

The food is not surpassed by any at the other banquets of the school, but the food is not the big reason for the alumni attending the affair. The big reason is the feeling the alumni get when they return to their Alma Mammy to greet old friends they had not seen since they had graduated. Harry Leeper, a 1931 graduate of North Side and later a star football player at Northwestern University, acted as toastmaster at this year's ban- quet in December. Harry told some of his experi- ences while at North Side and then introduced the speakers of the evening. They included Mr. Merle Abbett, Mr. Northrop, Mr. Nulf, Mr. Chambers, Mr. Reeves, and Bill Borgmann. The program then followed with impromptu talks by alumni. The banquet then broke up after pictures of track meets and football games taken by Mr. Northrop were shown. The funds to provide for the banquet were raised through a dance after the first North Side-Central basketball game. The lettermen presented a talking picture in the auditorium for the student body. The pictures consisted of the 1936 Clympic games in Ber- lin, an animated cartoon, and two reels of other interesting things. The lettermen were honored April 9 with a dance given by the Booster Club. Each letterman and his date was invited and all had a wonderful time. At the present time there are thirty-eight lettermen in North Side. Twenty-five of these lettermen are seniors and will graduate in June. This leaves only thirteen lettermen to carry on the athletic traditions at North Side next fall. 1 Letters and sweaters were awarded W to nineteen football players after their successful campaign. and ten players of the basketball squad re- ceived awards. The Lettermenis Club was one of the earliest organizations to be form- ed at North Side, and since has functioned actively. The names of many capable athletes, some of national importance and fame, are listed on the club roster. The membership, strictly honorary, is limited and exclusive, for only those boys active in the three types of athletic par- ticipation, with due award, can become members. Serving as ushers at games, participating in extra- curricular activities, and performing other kinds of service, this organization is indicative of the clean, helpful, sportsmanlike attitude of North Side athletes. 81 THE LEGEND 193 7 THE BIG PUSH The 1936 edition of the Redskin football squad completed the most successful season in the his- tory of North Side as far as the number of wins and losses are concerned. Called upon to face the toughest opposition that has been offered the Redskins, the North Siders emerged victorious in six games, tying one, and sugering but one defeat. Considered as a logical contender for the state crown, the Red eleven was very rudely ousted from the shadow of the aforementioned skull doily fcrown to youj by a determined band of Archers from the well-known southern institution who not only know how to kick pigskins so they bounce off knees, but also know how to pick them up after they bounce. However, let's trek back over the season's opponents, and start at the be- ginning. To commence the season, the Redskins looked very impressive in their decisive 44 to 6 victory over a weak Red Devil outfit from Auburn. The Northerners piled up a 44-to-0 advantage in in this section of the state. Badly outweighed, the Reds fought valiantly, and grabbed a 6 to 0 lead, holding it until late in the last period when L. Broome, hefty halfback, drove over the Red's goal line for the Slicers' lone score. North Side re- ceived a scoring opportunity later on an attempted place-kick conversion from the seven-yard stripe, but it was wide of the goal posts, and the game wound up even-Stephen. The next contest found Goshen, fresh from a 6 to 0 win over a strong Wabash eleven, invading the scrappy Redskins' domain. After the Redskins from the enemy's roost gained a 3 to O lead on a beautiful field goal by Bigler, Joe Shumm, North Side,s All-City fullback, decided it was time to start clicking. With Young assisting in the ball carrying duties, Shumm scored and then added the extra point. After Goshen had completed a pass for a touchdown to make the score read 9 to 7, Shumm again went over to give the North Side eleven its second win of the season. the First three quarters to coast through the final stanza with win No. 1 easily. Traveling to Laporte for their second encounter, the Red- skins were forced to meet one of the toughest teams The following weekend brought forth a city series tilt between the Redskins and the Fighting Irish from Central Catholic. The game, however, which was supposed to be a battle, turned out to be just a scalping party with the Nulfmen doing the scalping to the tune of 26 to O. The Reds scored fourteen points in the last quarter to win going away. Cn the forthcoming Saturday afternoon the scrappy Redskins grabbed the tail of the Central Tiger and threw him all over the North Side stadium for a 12 to 0 loss. Shumm, hard- driving fullback, again starred as he scored both of the Red touchdowns. Both teams received hard luck blows in the game with North Side getting the bet- ter of the two.

However, the Tigers were struck by tougher luck when Dan Bourne tackled Shuinm and suffered a broken right arm. Decatur was doomed to be the next victim of the sharp-pointed arrows hurled by North Side. Inspired by two city series wins. and filled with revenge for two previous defeats at the hands of the Yellow Jackets, the Redskins wound up and trampled all over the Decatur boys 44 to 6. Then came the huge blot on the North Side record. South Side's Archers paid the Redskins a visit, little realizing that they would be twice as happy on the way home. With the Reds' running attack bottled up, Boedecker threw two sensational passes which were received by Young and Kilty for touchdowns. Thus, it appeared as though the Nulfmen were well on their way to the city and N. E. T. C. titles. But late in the fourth quar- ter, South Side scored a touchdown on 1:eichter's run after three straight line plunges tallied noth- ing. Even at this stage of the contest it looked like a Red victory, but no, with three minutes of play remaining, a Redskin lineman fumbled a bad kickof, and Benz, Heet-footed left halfback, pick- ed the ball out of the air, and placed it in a scor- ing position. On the fourth play Benz carried the leather over for a score. Then to climax this gi- gantic rally, Kenny Miller booted a perfect place- kick conversion to give the Archers the ball game, 13 to 12. North Side's dreams for an undefeated season, an undisputed claim on the city crown for the first time, a N. E. I. C. crown. and lastly, a possible playoff for the state title, were blasted. With Shumm and Brown, regular backheld men, out of the game because of leg injuries, 1 1untington's Vikings threw a scare into the Red- skins before bowing 20 to 14. Four Redskins were honored by being placed on the 1936 All-City team. Floyd lV1cNiece was named at a tackle post. Warren Miller received the center position, Jim Young was given the blocking back duties. and Joe Shumm. for the third consecutive year. was elected to the All-City team at fullback. Shumm led the city in scoring this year. tallying 71 markers on ll touchdowns and five kicks after touchdowns. Warren Nliller, prominent senior. was elected honorary captain of the 1936 squad. and received his sweater with three ixhite service stripes. and one gold stripe. And so, in conclusion. we wish to add. i'1'1ail to you, fellows. you've done a great jobli' Our hats are of to a great team. 83 THE LEGEND 1937 NO KICK COMING After the most successful football season in North Side grid history, fans began to eye the approach of the No. 1 sport in 1 1oosierland- basketball. Prospects for the 1936-37 squad at North Side seemed none too good but three weeks of hard drill and practice put the Redskins in shape for their opening battle with Masonic Home of Franklin. The Masons, playing a conservative brand of ball. paced the Indians throughout the first three stanzas of the ball game, but a brilliant fourth period spurt by the host five repulsed the Wiz' First Row: Boedeker, Friedrich, Miller, Turner, Foster, Golden. Second Row: Horne, Fruechtenicht, Russell, Kowalczyk, Hill, Werliimg. invaders Z4-19 and the North Siders were off to an unimpressive start. A city series clash with Centra1's vaunted Tigers ended with the Reds on the short end of a 32-Z8 count. The great battle put up by the losers was unexpected and their stock soared. Decatur's Yellow Jackets, playing on their home court, stung the Northerners 31-28 via a 11-point uprising in the final five minutes after they had trailed throughout the fracas. Peru's Circus City five staged a circus tilt with the Warriors, and 84 after four quarters of hectic battling the Peruvians finished with 11 markers while North Side had just 12, but enough to edge out the Circus City quint. Again displaying below par basketball, the Reds managed to nose out New 1 1aven's tenacious Bull- dogs, who clung close enough to the Indians' heels during the second half to warrant a triple overtime before they dropped out on Fruechte- nicht's much-discussed tip-in basket, 26-24. A complete reversal of form and starting lineup gave the Redskins a well-earned 27- 18 victory over Berne,s highly-tout- ed Bears. Bob Horne, lanky forward, turned in the best defensive per- formance of the year by holding Bob Dro, Bear's high scoring center, to two fielders whereas previous to this engagement he had been aver- aging fifteen tallies per. Decatur, Illinois, 1935-36 champs in that state, dropped in on the Red- skins for a very profitable visit, re- turning home victorious 23-20 by suppressing a final rally by the host in the waning minutes of the game. Christmas holidays were welcomed by fan and player alike and with them came the now annual Holiday ,Invitational Tournament with the North Siders as hosts. Kokomo found them very hospitable and ran up a 33-Z1 count but a sensational 'comeback in the consolation game by the Indians against their old foe, Central, netted them a 35-34 win as Norm Foster and I-'Ierm Friedrich, sniping beautifully, paced the Reds to the biggest upset win of the year. Horace Mann of Gary won the tourney by trimming Central 33-Z8 and nosing Kokomo 31-30. South Side's green-clad Archers played great ball to trim the Warriors Z7-18, a defeat which set the Copperfaces in last position in the city series race. Central Catho1ic's rally in the final stanza did them little good and the Northerners, coasting on a comfortable margin piled up in the first three quarters, won 35-30, for their first victory in the THE LEGEND X937 race for the Summit City basketball crown. Corbin. Kentucky, state champs of the Blue Grass basketball realm, faltered before North Side and suf- fered a 35-18 trouncing. Hartford City's Airdales managed to bite out a good portion of the Redskins' record and with their home court advantage, caught the visitors on the rebound for a 24-22 overtime vic- tory. Murray lVlendenhall's pack of fastbreaking Bengals stalked the Redskin tepee carefully and then with a bucket bombardment smothered them under a 44-ll score. Auburn, regarded as one of the weakest teams in the N. E. I. C., upset the dope bucket and North Side also by a 32-29 count in another overtime contest. South Side made it two in a row over the Indians. this time by a 26-I6 count on their own floor, with the well-known and disliked bask-o-litesi' in action. Columbia City, nicknamed the Eagles, returned home with badly damaged wings with the Warriors flying over them to a 33-20 N. E. I. C. win. Kendallville made a fight out of their go with the invading Red five but lost 27-23. Bluffton, flashing a high scoring rally in the second half, finished behind the North Side aggregation 29- 26. Huntington closed the North Side card by bury- ing them under a 43-23 score at the Vikings' gymna- sium. The score, however, does not indicate the close- ness of the game, for only in the last ten minutes of engagement did the Norsemen begin to run up the count. Receiving a decided break in the tourney draw, the Indians waded through New Haven 38-30, smacked Monroeville 43-33, and edged out Hoagland 35-28 before falling before their nemesis, Central, 37-28, in a. hard-fought tilt which was the final game of the tournament. The North Side record for the entire season was none too impressive as they finished with 13 wins and 11 losses. The entire squad, however, must be given credit for the hard work which they put in at the prac- tice sessions three or four nights each week. Norm Foster, curly-haired sniper, was the team's leading scorer with Vic Kowalczyk, Bob Horne, and Edward Boedeker turning in some good perform- ances. Herm Friedrich, the hardest working boy on the squad, graduates this June as do Kowalczyk, Fos- ter, and Miller, all of whom will be missed. A good crop of promising basketeers is returning next fall, however, and Red fans can look forward to having a successful schedule. Credit must be given to the three cheer leaders, Rob- ert Johnston, Bill Swager, and Eugene Hartman, the Booster Club, and Mr. Laney for their support in lead- ing yells, and boosting the North Side stock. In brief, many thanks to every one who helped as workers of North Side School. 85 ORIGINAL FACULTY econ ow' ' I- Flrst Row: Nl Everett Pennington. Mr. Rollo Mosher.

The Red and White track squad faced the open- ing of the 1937 season with a well balanced team which was particularly strong in certain events. Al- though the call was not sounded until January 15, the team was in excellent shape for its first meet on April 3. Roy Ivey was a high jumper and broad jumper of the first water. The sprints were weil taken care of by Allen McMeen and Don Ormiston. The half mile was led by Oscar Branson, Bill Adams, and Harlan Lee. In the mile, Boyd Blake headed the list seconded by Herm Friedrich and Jack Herber. In the hurdles Don Firestine, John Beams, John Morris, Doyle Kilty, Roy Flickinger, and Jim Mul- lendore performed well. In the field events, other than those already mentioned, we find the pole vault handled nicely by Bob Poffenberger. Doyle Kilty broad jumped and high jumped. In the relays, these men represented the team: John Morris, K. Green, Dick Fruechtenicht, Don Ormiston, A1 McMeen, Jim Mullendore, Ray Flickinger, Boyd Blake, Jim Stahn, and Oscar 86 Branson. In the shot-put Ellsworth Klopfenstein and Dick Regedanz performed very well. The credit for the presentation of this strong aggregation goes to Coach Rolla Chambers, who has worked untiringly to develop men and pro- duce high-calibre track teams. The season opened April 3, against Culver Mili- tary Academy. This meet turned out to be one of the most exciting of the season, North Side win- ning by the score of 55 to 54. The Gary Invitational Meet, at Notre Dame fieldhouse, in which about fifteen teams perform- ed, was the next event for the Red and White. Although we did not win this meet, the boys re- ceived second place, being beaten to the tune of 43 V3 fHorace Mann of Garyj to 38. It was in this meet that A1 McMeen pulled a tendon in his leg which caused him to be laid up for three weeks. The Gary Three-Way Meet came on April 17 at Gary. The three teams were Gary, Mishawaka, and North Side. The Redskins were again victors, the teams having received 42, 42, 49 points respec- tively. On Saturday, April 24, the team went to the THE LEGEND 193 7 Muncie Relays. During this meet Roy Ivey set a new high jump record at 6 feet, 13 inch. The team received third place in this meet, being beaten by Horace Mann of Gary Q25 pointsj and Kokomo 122 pointsl and North Side received 20 points. The next Saturday the boys went to the Kokomo Relays. After this meet the varsity had its first meet at homeg the North Eastern Indiana Confer- ence meet which was held under the lights on May 7. The next meet, the Sectional, was also held at North Side on May 14. On May 22 the one meet that all high schools look forward to-the State Meet at Indianapolis. On May 27 the Redskins again engaged in the City meet which was held on our own llstamping grounds. This year, for the first time Coach Chambers organized a BU team, that is, a team composed mostly of underclassmen who show signs of possi- bilities of making the varsity in future years. Their first meet was with Garrett High School. The team made a fine showing despite their inexperience and won over the Garrett varsity 66-47. Their second meet was with Columbia City. Looking over the team for next year we may see a comfortable allotment of strength prevails in most events and the numerous candidates for all events renders certain the fact that outstanding performers will appear under the eagle eye of Coach Chambers to whom all credit is due for the rapid rise of North Side prestige in this section of the country in field and track. After a dethronement of one year, North Side's fast-treading tracksters regained the Northeastern Indiana Conference track and field championship in one of the most overwhelming victories in re- cent years. Not only did they grab ten of the thirteen first places but the only meet record broken was done so by none other than Al Mc- Nleen, star dashinan for four years. I-Ie broke his own mark in the 440-yard dash, running it in 50.1 with his leg taped from knee to hip because of recent injury. Roy Ivey, the other four year man on the Red and White team, more than did his part by taking first places in both the jumps. broad and high, with Doyle Kilty seconding him in each event. Don Ormiston, another Red dashman, cap- tured both the dashes in fast times followed close- ly each time by Frazell of South Side. Jim Mule lendore, while running nicely, could do no better than second in either of the hurdles. In the two remaining field events North Side captured a first, a third, and a fifth, the blue ribbon going to Bob Poffenberger in the pole vault, while the other two places were taken by Klopfenstein and Regedanz respectively in the shotput. In the distance runs the Indians again proved their metal by taking the two places in the mile jaunt and first and fourth in the half. Friederich and Blake dusted off all mile contenders by run- ning almost a dead heat in the speedy time of 4:3-5.3, while Branson ran a plenty fast 880 in 2:02.2. with Leakey taking fourth in that run. The running, roaring, rampaging demons from the North then concluded an already profitable and enjoyable evening by polishing off all con- tenders in both relays. This was done by Morris, McMeen, Fruechtenicht, and Adams in the mile relay and Ormiston, Fulkerson, Green, and Mul- lendore in the half mile. First Row: Morris and Mullendore coming over a hurdle. Blake, Kemp, Branson, and Friederich at the start. Adams, Mullendore, Morris, and Ormiston on the home stretch. Second Row: Coach Chambers figures it out. Ivey making six feet.

Many per- sons think that there is little responsibility con- nected with being a student manager but this is where they are wrong. The managers of the track team are Bob Feel- linger and John McKay. The basketball man- agers are Phil Olofson, Jim I-Iaskins, and Bob Tone. The football managers are John Walley' and Jim Haskins. The cheer leaders for this year are Eugene I-Iartman, Robert Johnson, and Williaixi Swager. Norman Foster was also a cheer leader until he began playing varsity basketball.

One of the busiest and least heard of clubs at North Side is the Rifle Club, which is affiliated with the National Rifle Association of America. This club was started in 1930 with nine boys and has now thirty-six girls and seventy boys. J. D. Pressler, a senior, completed the test for the highest honor and was made a distinguished riHeman. The Rifle team, composed of Eleanor Geiser, Burton Benninghoff, Evelyn Dunn, George Buck- ner, and Bill Asay, captured the annual Allen County Rifle meet for the fourth consecutive year with a score of 988 out of a possible 1,000 points. Eleanor Geiser and Burton Benninghoff shot the highest scores of the entire match with 199 each. North Side, having gained permanent possession of the Dickens Trophy by winning the meet three consecutive years, now possesses the new trophy until next year's meet. The advisers for the Rifle Club are Mr. Hyrle Ivy, who coaches the team, Eldon Schellschmidt, and Miss Catherine Cleary, while the officers are J. D. Pressler, president, George Buckner, vice- presidentg Jane Bates, executive secretary, Eleanor Geiser, secretary, Richard Coleman, treasurer, and Jim Kirwin, range officer.

North Side's boon to the athletically inclined of the male sex, intramural basketball, enjoyed its usual success and a great many boys spent a great many enjoyable minutes in combat on a basketball court with their fellow Redskins, after school. The Amateurs, playing like pros, breezed through a field of twenty-two ball clubs to capture the coveted Leaders Tourney, bowling over four opponents by margins of 17-8, 33-2, 8-7, and 17- 13. Captained by Ralph Rice, the roster of the Amateurs included James Ummel, Richard Rus- sell, Ross Leakey, Richard Olsen, and Roy Renner. Because of the late organization of the Intra- mural Leagues, each loop contained but four teams. Playing each opposing team twice, the Hoosiers slipped under the wire ahead of all other All-Star Leaguers, finishing with a record of six wins and no losses. Ummel and Olsen were again on a championship quintet as they were members of the Indiana squad. The Senior group ended in a three-way deadlock with the Bulldogs, Long- shots, and Snappy Bucketeers tying for first place with four wins and two losses. The Midget or- ganization crown went to the Ritzy Five netters, who camped on the tail of every other quintet in the league. The Home Room Tournament, tops in basket- ball competition with forty-live aggregations en- tered, concluded only after no less than fifty-one games had been played with the championship diadem being claimed by a sophomore home room 312 after they had defeated 333 in the final clash by a 38-24 count. Room 312 managed to gain victories in all of their engagements by fairly com- fortable margins.
