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. Someone must have mentioned that the way to Chemistry Laboratory 15

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.
