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

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. The Bridge 16
