Yea -1 A ig. HE purpose of the view sections of the 1931 Annual is to give the student a permanent record of familiar scenes in large, clear photographs. The pictures have been printed by a special rotogravure process. The first view shows one of the stairways, dear to the hearts of seniors, because of its reserva- tion during the lunch periods for the use of the graduating class. The second and third photographs depict two vocational classes, demonstrating that even such practical subjects may be seen as beauti- ful through the camera's eye. Potential artists will especially cherish the next view, that of a corner of the Art room. The disciples of brush and easel have con- tributed much to the school's well-being, an example being the art work found throughout the Annual. The view of the roof and the ventilators, as seen from the third-floor corridor, provides an excellent inanimate study, brought out effec- tively by the camera. The Discobolus is one of the most dis- tinguished specimens of sculptural art. Stand- ing guard over thet front stairs on the third Hoor, he seems to be dreaming of bygone glory. Whirling lazily in the breeze Machines guided by Electricitjfs hand. wwf X A-,g Q I ,, Z ff, f 41 dxf Vx' 4' -71' f gl , ,' .w'L,,., 77 ' K! ,, , Q A 7--71 Ag M' 4 And loud the anvils rang. 31 Af 3 .QQ M The muse holds sway with pen and brush Worn thin by countless feet. al., .Sw 1?-' . 1? ., X .fL?4 , Y., , 1 ,594 wi ., 1 aj 'law The dreaming sentinel of the upper hall.

VIRGINIA DOSKER . . ROBERT OLSON Q its T THE SENICR CLASS f'N0t merely to exist, but to amount to something, is lifef' HAT has been the keynote for the class of 1931. We didn't realize it in those juvenile sophomore days. It was just as if we grew to fit that one motto, and when we chose it we felt its fitness. and so-but we are ahead of the story. 7lVIember way back when we were assembled in the Auditorium, a little breath- less, very much excited over our first great adventure? Breathless-we were organ- izing South's very first Sophomore Class! Excited-we had struck a great deal of opposition and we were determined to win! We did. We can look back at the securely established unit of school life that the Sophomore Class is today and feel the thrill of achievement. Under the tolerant eyes of the upper elassmen, we took our first steps on the long road of amounting to something. MVery much alivef' Thatis what the faculty said of us in the Junior Year, while the Seniors looked on with foreboding, lest their traditional glory be eclipsed by the aspiring Juniors. The parties we staged-that hilarious weiner roast at Fallasburg Park, even the uproarious talking contest we held there-oh, we were very much alive! Something grew up among us that year. We were a variegated group, and thus we found tolerance and a willingness to work together. There were many of us who were foreign-born. And that helped. We can say with pride that we haven't any cliques-for we had to be a democracy to keep our unity and spontaneity. All at once we were Seniors, learning to walk sedately in the halls, and conduct ourselves as leaders in our world. The new dignity sat a little bit askew on our shoulders, and we slipped it off temporarily at the Senior picnic at Caledonia Park. Necessity prompted us. Remember the bite of that wind? And the refreshments- ice cream, a notable item! But at least everyone was there, braving the discomforts of wind, rain, and rumble-seats. Hardly had we thawed out, when Election Day was upon us. National politics never caused such furor as did our platforms. Three parties were in the field, and each was determined to seize the offices. The mad scramble was dignified by expert and beautiful mud-slinging on a truly mature scale by the campaign managers, by admirable sportsmanship on the parts of all candidates, even under virulent attacks, and by the fiery excitement among the citizens of 217. Friendships were broken like match-sticks, bets were laid and disputed, split tickets were discussed and redis- cussed. and every foot of wall and ceiling space was contested for, that one more placard or streamer might be placed. And yet when one young co-ed entered, dressed as a bridesmaid and carrying a bouquet of wilted celery, all antagonisms were for- gotten, and we roared helplessly with laughter. The suspense of it all! The importance of having a city voting machine, eliminating the danger of stuffed ballot boxes, quite staggered us. fWe still feel certain we pulled the wrong levers.J i421 i i t G A ,, l , f Q T Our dark horse won the election and we came to appreciate our choice of officers long before the year was over. Thanksgiving Day was quite an occasion, with its clever plays and dialogues. We had been patiently awaiting it, because that meant the time had come to choose rings and pins. We do not know why so many boys got their rings several sizes too small, but we have our suspicions. They were so distinctive, had somehow that look of 'tamounting to somethingf' Hardly had that fever subsided when young hearts were gladdened by the impending visit of a dear old Saint. What a gay Christmas party we had! Mr. Churm looked like a Santa Claus himself in his little snow covered house. We chose our colors early in the second semester, lavender and silver, and our class flower, the Talisman rose, lovely in decorating. There were faithful souls who wore the colors every Friday thereafter. But this pleasant excitement gave place to anguish, for we got our proofs back. Blondes were disgruntled to find themselves brunettes, and oh, how we taxed the photographer's patience with demands for resittings. Some of us just couldn't grasp the cruelty of Nature-we must have a resittingl Besides, everybody was doing it! Physiognornies in general and all their defects were the topic even on the night of the Senior Prom. We'd had a banquet and seen Catholic defeat our five in the big Gym, but everybody cheered just the same. You see, the years had taught us to smile at defeat and come back for another chance. That was one of Southls price- less gifts. Business claimed our time after that, the tremendous business of organizing our greatest memorial to South-Student Government. We were irked by constantly facing the query: '4Have you a permit?', and yet we were proud. We backed the rules of student government, knowing that our successors would be more accustomed to it than we. Charm-our class had that. We gave the play MThe Charm Schoolf' We know no other group could have lived that play as we did. Peppy, modern, swift-moving -it was made for us. Class Day came at length and oddly enough we were a little sad, yes, though so near the day of our release from bonds of routine. That ancient faculty idea of the Melting Pot was carried out colorfully, and a snappy airplane program, our flight to success, followed. Memories here of uexamsf, vacations, hard-fought battles on the gridiron and in basketball. Then our last get-together, a picnic, and finally the poignant and beautiful solemnity of Commencement. Thus we go out with lifted heads, proud of our year's achievements, eager for the years to come that we may continue as we have been, facing always forward, in our hearts the words of our class motto: UNO! merely to exist, but to amount to something, is life. f43l , i f H Q E Tha Three Browns Senioins All Quai Zo give you U22 4 Sow down on 22.17 and its fnhab- Hanis.h fry A Beryl, Evvaa Bermce Campagn Erma The Mock xmfadgmg A 2 , ,kwv 1 Y ?Q ., h Newei I, Bob, Marsha!!

The under-graduates are prepared for more advanced competi- tion by their activities. Seventh, eighth, and ninth graders, like the Seniors, are recognized for scholar- ship, leadership, character, and service by admission to an Honor Society. Students elected to this society are considered distinguished individuals, especially since the ,Junior organization has received national status. South's athletic stars are gleaned mainly from students who have taken part in the intramural sports which make up a part of the extra-curricula of underclass- men. You will find that the boys who have played basketball and gone out for track and football in the lower grades are the ones who make a name for themselves in their Senior year. Junior High girls have seasonal sports to which as much time is devoted as to those of the .Senior High. These last throughout the year, taking place after school on one or two nights a week. This year, the boys and girls of the lower classes interested in music, par- ticipated in a city-wide contest with the members of the Glee Clubs and Mixed Chorus. The girls, organization is known as the Junior Girls' Glee Club, and has been in existence for some time, but the boys, was formed for the contest and has been of a more or less experimental nature. Of the underclassmen, the Junior and Sophomore classes, continuing the tradi- tions of previous years are organized somewhat like the graduating class. Necessarily. the Juniors having had greater experience, play a more important role than the lower classes, although Sophomores seem to gain confidence as the number of years during which they have been an organized group increases. The session rooms are represented by members in the student council. Thus, they have a voice in the government of the school. As the school becomes more thoroughly organized, the entire body becomes more highly unified, for all seem to realize that the honor of school must be carried on by their successors. H61 Q tsgtffii Q 9252 DITTMORE PERRIGO SOLOMON STEWART THE JUNIOR CLASS HIS year's Junior Class has been an unusually lively one. Its social functions augmented by this valuable asset have contributed to the further unification of the class spirit. Through the concurrence of organized Juniors, the operation of student government has been accomplished. In the fall of 1930, the class met to elect its officers. Barry Dittmore received the presidencyg Eleanor Perrigo, the vice-presidencyg Howard Stewart, the treasurer- shipg and Adelaide Solomon, the secretaryship. The faculty advisers were Mr. Buikema and Miss Shepard. The traditional functions, the J Hop and the Junior-Senior Mixer were unques- tionably gala occasions under the capable management of certain members of the class. ,, 1 Q 7' A ef , ' 1 9 LOMBARD

faithfully carried on by the two succeeding classes of 32', and 33. The organization of the Sophomore Class, which had been some- what of an experiment, has become an established fact, through the achievements of the last three classes. The effectiveness of their frequent meetings early in the school year is proved by the choice of oliicers so Well suited to their respective positions. The office of president was filled by Lawrence Fuller, vice-president by Helen Bisbeeg secretary by Nina Griswold, and treasurer by Cotter Hirschberg. The school's youngest class also displayed exceptional ability in staging the Blizzard Ball, an all-school party. If this tenor is maintained in the history of the next two years, South may expect great things from the class of 833.73 HOOGESTEGER LYNCH SPEARS BOTER WIC-KE'I'I' U0l was ' X ,-X E Q A TOP ROW Rhea Stover lone Sullivan James Rosa Roger Pearce W'ilmarth Slootmaker Lawrence Fuller Arland June Donald Holland Walter Galimore THIRD ROW Douglas Blocksma Hugh Hessell Adrian DeVries Samuel DeVries James Harris Harry Stoker Robert Lynch Cotter Hirschberg Charles Ryan Virginia Stuart Ruth Wolters TOP ROXV Marian Gommesen Virginia Strouse June Thompson Eleanor Whitford Irma Gardner Cornelia Mollema Gertrude Wieland Gladys Warner FOURTH ROVV Barbara Dille Margaret Anderson Margaret Wernette Edith Convey Beatrice Allison Velma Bates Helen Boss Leona Young HHda Brownff Cecelia 'ist RD ROW fglgiai-th Vonk elma Ostrander eBartolo h Storms arlene Storms Helen Fuller Bernadine Duer Evelyn Gillette Carrie Barnes Letha Cooper Ilah Carpenter TOP ROW Andrew Vitale Robert Neureither Clayton Maggert Jack Vanderwal James Obenchain Alfred Van Meter William Verburg James Warren John Blackmer Lawrence Brisbin THIRD ROW Mildred Schade Glenn Palmer Jay Swann Arthur Harmelink George Vanden Bosch Gaylord Moreau Ray Lyon William Schansema Elizabeth Carlson Bernice Douglas , 4 .

THE KING HE Administration of a School is like the King in a Came of Chess. The Student makes his moves as his Educa- tion progresses. A false move -and he is lost, until the King befriends and aids him to regain his former position by a more strategic play. Thus, the Administration is of vital im- portance, as is the King in Chess. .sf -fy , , as 'rf 0' H,Qwx2 f4 WX NGN fwif 'fffyf g.- 41 , , f ff VW fy, ' A fvffwff jf V fW,, f W' fgaif' f', X ,ff mfm4m,fwxmwz1 , I W, 7 1 A 1 WYE 2 Q F i S ARTHUR W. KRAUSE, Principal i671 . seflti Q . ADMINISTRATION HEN students hear the word '4Administration,'l they are rnore or less inclined to think in terrns of ufacultyf' or Hprincipalf, or Hsuperintendentfl separately. But in reality, all three co-operate in every way to give the students the advantage of their com- luned ideas and lnake the adnunimradon deparunent effective. The pupils themselves come in contact with the facuhy of the school, but rarely have the oppor- tunity of meeting the rest of the administrative oliicers of the school in the same manner as they meet the teachers. Nevertheless, behind all the apparently sim- ple life of the school, are persons who supervise the ivorkings of aH the schools of the chy. 'The chief of these is Mr. L. A. Butler, a man who must know every minute detail connected with the education of the child- ren of this city. It is he who appoints the supervisors, principals, and the teachers and assigns them to schools. Each principal must be a supervisor himself, for not only does he super- intend the teachers of his school to a certain degree, and keep his particular building in running order, but he must also understand what should be taught in each class. When all is considered, Mr. Krause, the principal of South High, does not have such an easy time as most students are inclined to think. The teachers, with whom students are most intimately acquainted, have rules to follow and certain work to accomplish, as do the pupils of the school. For each course of study, a curriculum, or plan of work, is made out by a committee of teachers of that subject. Each curriculum has certain objectives in mind, health, vocation, leisure time, character, home, citizenship, and command of funda- mental processes. These plans of work are used for two years in the schools, and at the end of this time, the teachers report their criticisms and suggestions to a revision committee, which is appointed to revise the curricula according to the suggesdons. Not only are the teachers of South High busy with the tiresome tasks of marking papers and making out examination questions, but also with the monoto- nous marking of cards every quarter. The scene in the oflice during these times is anything but idle. Besides these numerous tasks, the majority of the teachers sponsor various clubs and classes, and undertake a number of other responsibilities. So the Administration department is based on a great system, which the average student is quite unaware of, except for the results. MR.

ENGLISH HE English department in South High School is one of the most important departments in the school. Under the head of English are taught grammar. English literature, American literature, debating, spelling, written and oral com- position, memory training, and some dramatics. This year, in the absence of Miss Eaton, head of the department, Miss Steglich and Miss Gallmeyer have been directing the work of this department. Under their supervision, a new edition of the South High Memory Selection book has been printed in the school's own print shop, along with one of the two grammar tablets which are printed exclusively for the students of the school. Each year in the late fall, a comprehensive grammar examination is written by all seniors. Those who fail to pass this examination, but are planning to attend college, are required to take a course in special English, the second semester. The English Seven classes this year, pro- duced several plays in connecdon xvhh their study of the drama. As there is no Dramatic . . class at South, such work must be conducted in the English classes. Miss Steglich and Miss Cksewarde have been the heads of the senior English classes this past year. There is a social life connected with this department, which gives the students a deeper interest in the study. This year, the English Six classes entertained the eleventh and twelfth grade English and Public Speaking classes, with 3. banquet. Get your themes O.

This creative work included essays, short stories, and poetry. Much of the composition work of merit is printed in the school magazine, the Pioneer.w The possibility of having a piece of creative writing in print, in many instances, may serve as an added inducement to better work. Previous to this year, second semester Public Speaking has never been taught in the school, but through the efforts of Miss Edith Shaw, there is now a class. which is exceedingly popular with the students. Generally. each English teacher's program consists of both Junior High and Senior High English classes. This year, however, a few teachers had the majority of the Junior High classes, namely, Miss Brown, Miss Harmelink, Mrs. Knapp, Mrs. Kromer, and Miss Anton. The Players' Club, formerly known as the Thespian Society, has been in existence a num- 1 4' ber of years. Membership is open to those interested in dramatics and public speaking. Plays are frequently produced at the weekly meetings, and this past year, in addition to the private performances, a one-act play, 'The Wedding Presentw was given at an assembly in the school auditorium. During the past year, the English depart- ment fostered the Writers' Club, made up of students of superior writing ability.

HISTORY DEPARTMENT NDER the supervision of the History department, five different divisions of history are taught-World, European, Modern, American, and seventh and eighth grade history. In addition to these, Sociology and Economics are classed in this department. American History classes are taught exclusively by Miss Lambert, supervisor of the department, Miss Maclsennan, and Miss Sedelbauer. Outlines of the subject matter of the American History text book are used by the students. These outlines. written by Miss Lambert after years of study and research, are considered very good in their field. Several of the teachers have had only lower-grade history classes this year: Miss Ferrand, Mr. Gettings, Mr. Goss, Miss Hines, and Miss Long. Civics is taught in connection with the eighth grade history course. Sociology and Economics are taught by Mr. Beals and Mr. Buikema, respectively. - . In connection with all the history classes, current events from special newspapers for classroom use are studied and discussed in the classes. -Outstanding in the history course is the outside reading done in history books, other than the text book, which is also required in all classes. Notes are written cover- ing the content, and credit is given according to T the number of pages the student has read.

This past year, three seniors took the examination in March. Early in the year, each was given a booklet on the structure of the League and its work, to study. The examination is based upon the material in this booklet. Besides numerous state prizes, a national prize of a trip to Europe is given the winner. The D. A. R. medal, a live-dollar gold piece, is awarded each year, to the most excellent student of American History. Names of candidates for this prize are sent in by the history teachers. The names are then considered and the winner selected. Seventh and eighth grade students of South High are especially fortunate, in that they have the opportunity of seeing the Yale movies of the Chronicles of America. A different picture is shown every two weeks. Just this past year, interest has been added to this subject by the organization of the History Club, under the supervision of Miss Lambert. Discussions on various phases of his- tory take place at the meetings, and many times, speakers who have traveled rather exten- sively, talk to the group on places having his- torical significance. Slides and motion pictures about interesting and far away countries have World neu-5 tomorrow! also been shown to the members. E723 . . 15. 5, of , K X , , 4 .i ,V --L-L' if?

Latin and French have long been favorite languages with the students, but it is only in the past few years that Spanish has become so popular. The Latin course prepares the student for the reading of Latin literature, rather than for conversational purposes. ln the French and Spanish classes, conversation is the main purpose, and to accomplish this, discussions in the classroom are gen- erally carried on in that particular language. Besides the usual study of grammar. poetry and stories are read. Many times these selections are taken from the school magazine, the uPioneer,', for the bi-monthly, since it is used as a text book in the rooms, publishes original poems and short arti- cles in the several languages The Sodalitas Latina, sponsored by Miss , og, Wilson, and Societas Latina, sponsored by Miss Yntema, were organized by Latin students for the further study of the language. La Coterie Francaise, with Miss Peterson, Mrs. Ferrand, and Mr. Swenson as advisers, was organized by French students, for the purpose of studying the French language. As yet no club exists for the study of the Spanish language or Spanish cus- toms, but it may be possible that one will be organized in the future. Latin-eight stars r V U31 9' 5 .

SCIENCE DEPARTMENT HE Science department offers six subjects to the student of South High: Botany, Physics, Chemistry, Physiology, Zoology, and General Science. The laboratories of these sciences are well equipped for the students, use. ln the Zoology laboratory, there is a large collection of stuffed animals and birds. At present there are numerous small aquariums for turtles, fish, and snails, but a larger aquarium, containing plants and fish, is in the process of construction, and when completed, will be exceptionally interesting. The Chemistry laboratory con- tains a fair sized book case of Chemistry reference books, especially for the students, use. Although South High does not boast of a genuine skeleton for use in the Physiology classes, one that is made of composition material is used by the students. Another for the study of the organs of the human body is also in use. The study of Physics is greatly enhanced by the use of every kind of delicate instrument necessary for proving the laws of Physics. To further interest in biological subjects, the Biology Club has been organized under the direction of Miss Stokoe, Miss Rachel Shaw, and Miss Demmon. The members take exten- sive lield trips and collect specimens of insects. 'i twigs, leaves, etc., to be mounted. and in other Chasing protozoa ways develop interest in this phase of study. ,i T741 V F --,rf95Q5 if or pans., 3 5 ' , V X Q , -' K' Q ' m-L' , ' .

Rose, ARTS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT HE Arts and Recreation department comprises the following subjects: Art, Music, and Physical Education. The latter two are better known because of the fact that the Work is also carried on, more or less, outside the school. The former, however, is just as important a subject as any taught in the school. This past year, the Atelier Club was organized under the direction of Miss Vevia, for the purpose of interesting students in Art. Visits to the Art Gallery have constituted an important part in the activities of the club. At times, during special exhibits of high school art work at the Art Gallery and Ryerson Library, South High Students have contributed work of high quality. The Music department has under its direction the Senior and Junior Orchestras, Concert Band, Combined Band and Junior Band, Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs, Junior High Girls' Glee Club, Girls, Chorus, and Voice Cul- ture course. This past year, the annual spring concert, given by the department, took place for the first time in the new high school auditorium. Besides the regular gym and natural danc- ing classes, all other outside athletic activities are under the supervision of the Physical Edu- cation department.

These subjects prepare girls for their duties as future housewives, and boys for some practical work in later years. The subjects offered in this department are: Clothing, Foods, Personal Regimen, Household Management, Mechanical Drawing, Auto Mechanics, Forge, Printing, Woodworking, and Machine Shop. The Personal Regimen class has been in existence at South High for only two semesters. This subject teaches the students how to develop charm, and includes study of suitable dress, the correct selection of meals in a restaurant, vocations best suited to various girls, and furnishing the girlis bedroom. The various shops are generally considered as places of interest only to boys. but the girls have shown such an enthusiasm for Auto Mechanics, especially, that a girls' class has been organized to Michael Shillinger, B.S. Alfred Sirrine B.S. accommodate them. There are on the average. ten cars being fixed in the shop, daily. The boys' printing classes produce all the printed posters, tickets, booklets, and any other printed matter for use in the school. The '4Pioneer, bi-monthly, is also published here. In the Forge and Machine shop classes. pieces of iron are shaped into hammers, knives. and various other tools, either by hand or machine. The Radio Club has been organized for boys interested in the radio. Mr. Sirrine spon- sors this organization. T763 F . . t .. t t t Q S . t ei Edith M. Dennis, Eva L.

This school offers a variety of mathematical subjects: Algebra, Plane Geometry, Solid Geom- etry, Trigonometry, and seventh and eighth grade Arithmetic. Of these, Algebra is probably the most popular with high school students, perhaps because it is the foundation of all other mathetmatics. It may be thought that with five or six classes a day, the mathematics teachers would be sufficiently occupied, but this does not seem to be true at South High. Many of the teachers are sponsors of clubs for the students, and others give their time to other matters. For instance, Mr. Wickett is the football manager, Mr. Schop- meyer has charge of the tickets for all athletic contests, and Mr. Toogood takes care of the eligibility of athletes. To interest students in the study of the origin of this science, and in solving mathemati- cal problems, the Pythagorean Club was organ- ized this year, under the supervision of Miss Quick and Miss Stocking. The meetings are held once a month, for this gives the members sufficient time between meetings, to solve the problems brought up in the previous meeting. Emily Townsend, Howard W. Wickett, A.M.

Zinser COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT HE Commercial department, perhaps, does more to iit a high school student for a paying position immediately upon leaving school, than any other depart- ment in the school, for the training received from these studies is as thorough as that received in any business college. Under this department are taught six subjects: Typewriting, Bookkeeping, Stenography, Retail Selling, Business Arithmetic, and Commercial Law, all of which are exceptionally popular with the students, whether or not they are planning on entering the business world. Formerly, the Bookkeeping classes were two periods in length, but two years ago, in order to accommodate the large number of students desiring to take this subject, the classes were made but one hour in length, with outside assignments. This change has proved very popular with the students. Typing is a favorite subject with high school pupils, for not only is it helpful in securing a position after graduation, but also in writing themes and other papers for classes. To induce the students to attain a greater speed on the typewriter, a prize is awarded to the person making the greatest speed and the least number of errors. Usually the prize is a valu- Sfgnggrapfjgfg able piece of aft.

The fact that the students of South High make good use of the library, is shown by the crowded condition of the rooms during schools hours, and before and after school. Reference books, history books, English books, Home Economics books-all of these and more are sought by eager students. However, many times these books are not to be found readily by the pupils themselves, and so the librarians are sought for help. This is when the students appreciate the kind helpfulness of Miss Chilson, Miss Madigan, and Miss Beers, who are helping the students in more Ways than one to acquire an education. ln the library there are close to 8,000 library books and nearly 7,400 Board of Education books. There is approximately the same number of juvenile fiction volumes as juvenile non-fiction, but the number of adult non-fiction books is about half as great again as adult fiction.

City football championship! Tie for the city basketball championship! The Trojan teams have certainly attained a high point of achievement-one that will be hard to approach in the future. From the football team, live men were chosen for the All-city teamg and three of the Trojan quintet were among the All-city selections. The teams have won high honors, but no one should forget the men who were primarily responsible for these victories. Coach 'tCliFf,' Gettings gave his utmost attention to the development of a successful football team and instilled within the players the determination which brought them victories. Pop,, Churm, who coaches both track and cross-country, generated the inward spirit which was responsible for the state cross-country championship last fall. 'fPop,s'7 enthusiasm seems to be contagious and his understudies became filled with the desire and strength for victory. The city championship basketball quintet owes its success to Coach 64Danny,, Rose. Danny was once an all-conference guard and his ability has shown results in those who have been under his guidance. A man who has a great care and responsibility but who receives little credit for the victories, when the school has a winning team, is the equipment manager. During the past few years this post has been filled with great success by H. W. Wickett. His attention has provided adequate equipment for every player. i851 KV Z ,. V V I t .

THE FGUTBALL SEASON HE 1930 football season proved to be the most successful since the champion- ship season of 1924s Success was largely due to the fact dun the teani was composed of players who forgot personal grudges and gave all their efforts to the school in every game. The honor men were: Captain Gerald Ford, all-state and all- city centerg Arthur Brown, all-city tackleg Silas McGee, all-city endg John Heinzelman, all-city halfbackg Allan Elliott, all-city quarter. At the annual ban- quet, Louis Cooley, halfback, was chosen by his team-mates as the teamis most Valuable playen The season officially opened with the Ottawa game in dedication of Southis new athletic field. The Trojans avenged the previous yearis defeat with an 18-6 victory. Allan Elliott starred with a series of pretty broken field runs, and scored all three touchdowns. The Trojans overwhelmed Davis Tech 39-0 in the second game of the season. Elliott again showed his ability as an open field runner, reeling off two forty-yard runs. flennzehnan rnade a preuy'thhty-Hve yard run. The following week, Grand Haven fell before the advance of the Trojans, 39-0. Due to a series of fumbles in the first quarter, South found itself backed against the goal-line. The Trojans caught their stride in the second quarter and from then on, Grand Haven was hopelessly outclassed. Battle Creek invaded the Trojan camp October 11, to find itself outplayed in every department of the game. which ended in a 31-6 defeat for the visiting team. Elliott, Cooley, and Joslin were main figures in the scoring end of the victory. Art Brown and Silas McGee played brilliantly on the line. IS61 isa - - New - . f ' ' . A .V . kgs . k XA., .

A strong wind slowed up the Trojan machine in the first and fourth quarters. In the second half, Heinzelman gave an interesting exhibition of head- work and foot-work, but was unable to score. Art Brown showed excellent ability in driving down under punts. October 25th proved to be a perfect football day for the traditional South- Central battle at Houseman Field. The Trojans fulfilled predictions with a 13-0 victory. Elliott was closely watched and failed to break away for his usual thrill- ing runs. Both teams resorted to passing attacks. Heinzelman and Cooley shared the ball-carrying honors. A slump came with November 8th, when the Trojans were held to a 13-0 victory over the Catholic Cougars. South was hampered in the first and fourth quarters by a strong wind, but in the second period South scored on a long run by Elliottg and in the third quarter, on a pass from Elliott to McGee which landed the ball a few yards from the goal, from where it was carried over the line by Brown. South barely eked out a 6-0 victory over the Holland team at Holland. Novem- ber 15. The lone touchdown came by virtue of a good off-tackle run of forty-six yards executed by Elliott in the first quarter. The Trojans threatened Holland's goal in the fourth quarter, but lacked the necessary final drive. A last minute aerial attack threat by Holland ended when Dood intercepted a pass on the eight- yard line. Thanksgiving Day found South battling Union on a snow-covered field in a miniature blizzard, with the city and state championships at stake. The teams fought furiously, but the game ended in a scoreless tie. South later received the undisputed city title when complications arose over the eligibility of a Union player. The reserve team followed the good example set by the varsity during the 1930 season, losing only one game and tying one. E871 ..--.4 ,,k. - 1 A ' J tt My ii!

The third game brought the Trojan second team in contact with the Creston seconds, and they barely won by a 6-0 score. The Central reserves handed the seconds their only reverse, on October 25. A successful last-minute pass attack accounted for Centralis 13-7 win. November 8 found the Catholic Central second team at South's field where they met a 13-0 defeat. The following week, the Holland reserves fell before the relentless attack of the Trojan seconds, 22-0. In the final game on Thanksgiving Day, Unionis second team fell 6-0.

But Coach uDanny Rose recruited Geyer, Ford, and Cooley from the football squad, and on these frve men, he built a city championship team. Eckardt, Cooley, and Joslin were the most outstanding players and received All-City selections. Eckardt made 109 points to lead all the city players in scoring. Cooley was an exceptional guard, calm and deliberate on offense and steady on defense. Joslhi had rnarvelous technique at hantHing the ball and yvas clever both offensively and defensively. Ford and Geyer handled themselves well but were not quite as polished players as the other three.

The teams were tied six-all at the half but a second-half rally by the Trojans swept the Wooden Shoes from their feet. The Trojans downed Union in a tight defensive battle 10-9, January 9, to take the lead in the city race. Dood won the game with a last minute field goal. The following night South conquered Catholic on their own court, 32-22, and firmly established itself in its newly earned position in the city race. On January 17, Davis Tech held South to a 25-13 victory. The Trojans evi- dently missed the services of Joslin, who was ill at this time. E391 - 2 First team in action The Trojans scored their fifth city victory January 21, by downing the Ottawa Indians, 21-16, Ottawa scoring nine points on a rally in the third period. South defeated Central in a free throw duel, 18-12. Each team scored four Held goals but South made ten of fourteen free throws. Creston met South in a rough, defensive game on January 31, and fell 20-15. ,loslinas play was outstanding. The Trojan reserves were used in the second Holland game in order to save the regulars for the Ottawa game the following night. The game ended with the VVooden Shoes on the short end of a 22-17 score. The following night the regulars dropped their first game in city competition when Ottawa scored a 20-14 victory. PHiday 13 proved to be an unlucky day for the Red Ilawks of lhuon for they met with their second defeat at the hands of the Trojans, 17-12. Davis Tech fell for the second time before the Trojan onslaught to the tune of 38-9 on their home court. The unexpmned occuned february 20, when Cadunic Cenual downed the Trojans 19-18. The Trojans battled furiously in the final period, but the Cougars had piled up too great a lead. A tie with Ottawa for the city title was at stake March 5 when the Trojans met Central in the final game of the schedule. The South High quintet came through with a victory.

The seconds began to slide February 6, and barely eked a 17-15 victory out of the Holland reserves. The next night the Ottawa Indians caught the Trojans at the bottom of a slump and gave them their Hrst reverse 13-20. The reserves regained their stride to conquer Union, Tech and Catholic.

TRACK ITH very little experienced material to begin the 1930 track season, uPop,' Churm built up another of his winning teams. The team didnit lose a meet during the season, and although they only took one first place, the Trojans amassed enough points in the regional meet by taking second and third places, to win with a 3M point lead over Union, the nearest competitor. The only first place was won by Joslin in the discus. At the State meet Schroeder placed third in the 440-yard dash and Joslin placed second in the discus to gain Hve points for South. The 1931 Trojan track season opened with the team strongest in the weight events and distance runs. The session room meet was held early in April and, as all lettermen were barred from competition, Room 323 had an easy time winning. The 220-yard dash was the outstanding event with Trimpe running it in 2318. Bockus showed up well in the pole vault and Lauterhahn in the 440-yard run. The Trojans met Grand Haven and Holland in the sixth annual triangular meet in the latter part of April and easily won with 84-VZ points to Grand Haven's 17V2 and Holland's 14. Archie Ross bettered his own school record in the shot put on the first throw with a throw of 44 feet 9 inches. Joslin broke an 18-year-old record in the discus when he bettered the 116 feet 11 inches throw of Hugh Black- lock of Central, with a throw of 117 feet 2 inches. The Trojans placed first in every event except the high jump, which event was won by Grand Haven. Slams were made in the 440-yard dash and in the mile run.

WEIGHT MEN Archie Ross, Gerald Ford, Jerry Bouman, Burgess Wisner, Pete Dood, Leon Joslin. Joslin, Ross, and Ford were the stars in the weight events, the first two probably outranking any others in the city. Those who shone in the hurdles were Sears, Buist, and Lipscomb. Trimpe and Vern Heintzelman were the main stars of the dash this year. In the 440-yard run, a new satellite appeared in the person of Lauterhahn. McGee, Bustraan, and Lauterhahn made a combination to be reckoned with in this event. Pullen was another rookie who made good, gaining a ranking next to Miller in the mile. Miller made the best time in the city, for the season. These two, together with Crips and Connell, have done below five minutes, a fact that forecasts a championship four-mile relay team in the Indian relays. Hayes and Hauer have borne the brunt of the attack in the half mile. Either Bockus or Dittmore should break the school pole-vault record this season or next, judging 'W' from the early season's progress. The high jump was rather weak, with Eckardt and Covel the most likely prospects. Stewart was the mainstay in the broad jump, and was aided by Joslin. Stewart, Joslin, Eckardt, Miller, McGee, A. Ross, V. Heintzel- man, Ford, and Dittmore were the varsity veterans. The new record board E933 r v 7f .....vj., . ... ,e , ....

With the thermometer registering 29 above, a well balanced Trojan team invaded the Benton Harbor camp, October 18. and took a 23-32 victory. South placed six men in the first ten places. Kalamazoo Central won a decisive victory from the Trojan harriers on October 25 by a 15-43 score. Kazoo placed men in the iirst five places, and also the eighth. ln the regional tournament at Kalamazoo, the Trojan harriers took an easy second, led by Kazoo. South sprung the unexpected at the State , cross-country meet at Ypsilanti, November 8, when they tied Kalamazoo Central for iirst place with Qlw points. Miller Won individual honors by placing third. Though the main figures of the 1930 cross- country team have ended their high school careers, much will be expected from Captain Lomonico and the younger harriers during the approaching season.

GOLF OUTH entered a golf team in the Held for the first time in the 1930 season, with G. F. Patterson as coach. Robert Wren, Peter Badaluco, John Starr, and Newell Chamberlain were chosen to represent the team and Herb Ross was an alternate. The teani passed through a rnediocre season, vdnning only three of the twenty- eight matches. Starr and Chamberlain were the only experienced players to return to the 1931 team. The remaining players were chosen from the six lowest scores in 18 holes of medal play in April. Danny Rose took over the coaching duties for the 1931 season. At the middle of the season the team was ranked in sixth place in the city standings, having won three out of twelve matches.

Four players were entered in the regional tournament, but they only succeeded in reaching the quarter finals. Five of the 1930 team returned to form the nucleus of the 1931 team. The three vacancies on this year's team were filled by those who made the best show- ings in the school tournament which was held in April. Lloyd Rittenger defeated John Maloney in the finals of the school tournament to win the championship for the second successive year. At the middle of the season, the tennis team was in second place in the city standings, having lost one match and won fifteen. The singles team made sweeps in its matches with Catholic and Creston, and the doubles team won its matches from Tech and split with Creston. JJ Just another racket E971 . t .

INTRAfMURALS HE lntra-murals were instituted mainly for the purpose of strengthening the future varsity teams by developing and cultivating more and better athletes. Thus far they seem to have succeeded fairly well, for the men who turned out proved to be promising material for the teams. The main activity of the intra-mural games this year was tap football. Consid- ering that it was only the first season of tap football at South, the new game was rather well received. The game is similar to ordinary football except that. instead of tackling, as in ordinary football, to down the ball, the player merely needs to touch the man who is carrying the ball and gains are made by passing the ball instead of running with it. The championship game was played between Room 201 and Room 326. The team of 201, named '6Arizona,,' defeated that of 326, whose name was ulVlichigan,,' with a score of 12-6, thus making Arizona champion. The touchdowns made by Arizona in this game were scored by Moorman and Mason. Moorman, who held the captaincy of Arizona, was quarterback. Schott and Bolthouse occupied the end positions on the team from Room 201. The tackles were Halhan and Scheibe. Wilson played as center. and the fullback position was filled by Russo. Johnson and D'Amico were the guards. Mason and Reed played halfback. The participants in the intra-murals were well repaid by the experience they gained in their contests. The intra-murals have served their purpose thus far in stimulating an urge for football. The other activities of the intra-murals were boxing. track, and basketball. f98l klzuglsga , Q.. -5 is -, V 1 ,X X. N ...

IUNIOR HIGH ATHLETICS UNIOR High athletics consisted of basketball and track, football having been canceled from the list this year. Brown and Zylstra were the coaches from the Varsity, and Russell Veldman was the student manager. The juniors were not in as good form as last season for they lost all but four games. Verburg and Decker became ineligible for the second semester of basketball. The team lost two valuable men in them, Verburg as one of the score-making factors, and Decker as center. Matson, as forward, was one of the outstanding players of the team. Mason and Tilton took turns in playing the other forward position, both fitting it fairly well. Lloyd Brown, one of the new men, played center, earning his place by his ability to capture the tip-offs. Ketchum held his former position as a guard, cleverly blocking his opponents as they approached his goal. Knickerbocker, the other guard, was good at defense, and with Ketchum, formed a good defensive. In the Burton game, which was lost with a score of 11-9, Matson and Ketchum were the South stars. St. Francis defeated the juniors with a standing of 24-21. but later forfeited the game because of ineligible men on their team. The Catholic game, another exciting tussle with Matson playing outstandingly, was lost by the narrow margin of 9-8. i Track was taken up beginning at the end of April and continuing through June. A few meets were held with the juniors of other schools. The juniors also engaged in intra-mural track, solely to gain experience. I99l A e A G. A. A.

Board is the executive branch and is comprised of the ofiicers, publicity manager, social chairman, and the managers for each of the activities. The Board transacts all business for the organization, social and otherwise. Because of the lack of a play-ground, outdoor sports for girls are limited to hockey. Practices are started shortly after school opens and are held during the Fall while the weather permits, the main objective being to prepare for the tourna- ment which is played off during the Spring season. Hockey gives way to basketball when winter sets in. Several weeks are used to practice fundamental basketball skills, after which period the teams are chosen to compete for their classes in the tournament. it was required that each team member attend three-fourths of the practices and play according to the system worked out by her class, in order to be eligible. The seniors came out the victors. having won all the games in which they competed. The juniors easily took second place, leaving the sophomores with third place. Volley ball, as is traditional, was the most popular of the sports. The class groups were divided into several teams, all of the girls being placed on one team or another. Practice games were followed by a series of intra-mural games. The two classes having won the greatest number of games took part in the final com- petition which was played off at the girls, Spring athletic meet. fioije Fi l S E AA GIRLS' BASKETBALL Top RowALorna Nelson, Rhea Stover, Frances Giammona, Nancy Parris, Nina Griswold, Lucille Morduff, Alice Eastwood, Virginia Barton, Mary Lou Wilkinson, Ara Avery.

Another hundred point lead was taken by the Juniors when they were awarded the decision in the first events of the meet, the dancing, or rhythm work. Rallying to their colors. the Seniors took first place in the baton relay and in the hop-step-jump events, and in the final event of the evening, the very exciting volley ball game. Sophomores won the jumping rope relayg and Juniors took the low hurdles or obstacle race. The keenness of the rivalry between Juniors and Seniors in this year's meet will long be remembered.

Examinations to discover defects were followed up with checking to see whether the defects had been removed. The elements of mental hygiene were explained and stressed, so that girls who were suffering from mental ills could employ self-diagnosis and treatment and become happy and healthy in every way. An elaborate and effective point-system of determining grades is in operation in the girls, gym. Such matters as taking showers, keeping suits clean, lockers neat, promptness, leadership, and many other qualities which make for CHARACTER have become very important in rating the students of this department.

An exciting tennis tournament was the outstanding Spring activity for the many girls who participated in it. The entrants competed with opponents who were of nearly equal calibre. The winners of the various groups played off the final round, the victor gaining the girls' tennis title. A new sport, golf, was given a place in this year's sport curriculum. The classes were held indoors until the weather permitted outdoor play. Then the students, with Miss Krumheuer as instructor. applied the fundamentals that they had learned in play on the course. The annual meet was enthusiastically supported by all the girls. Competition was keen throughout. Most athletic activities are incorporated in this meet, as well as other graded activities of the school year. The last major activity of the school year was indoor baseball. After practice games. a tournament was played off, which was quite short in duration because both the girls, and the boys' gyms were used, allowing two games to go on at the same time. 51043 t, Q Q V .

SCHWEITZER KNOLL MORRISEY SOUTH'S ORGANIZATIUNS HE organizations lend much to the school life of South High. They give the students many opportunities which they would not otherwise have. The clubs are willing to co-operate with the school at all times, and do all in their power to make South just a little bit better. During this year, if never before, the students found the real joy in giving, for every organization was engaged in some sort of service work for needy and unfortunate people. Many families were given food and clothing throughout the year. The Pioneer Staff sponsored a campaign to raise money for the stage curtain in the new auditorium, and the clubs responded so well that more money was received than needed. The surplus was spent for other equipment for the auditorium. Two new clubs were organized this year, the History Club and the Mathematics Club, the purpose of both of which is to further the student's interest in those sub- jects. These clubs are just as popular as are the more social types of clubs. The Student Council is also a new organization. Student government has just been instituted in South High, and the Council is its governing body. All students are urged to belong to Southis organizations, but some people try to belong to too many, and that is why the Extra-Curricular Triumvirate was organized a few years ago. Students are allowed to have only a certain number of extra-curricular points. f1o6J ........ c g h , S ,W L X A q , as ..., - s.....,1.,t ,.f ,..,,,... ,..,m.s,.ta.4r S. .

The purpose of this organization is not only to create enthusiasm among students to obtain a higher scholastic goal, but also to reward those who have proved themselves to be Outstanding in Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service. On the pin which each member of the society receives after taking the pledge, are engraved below a Haming torch the letters S, L, C, and S, which stand for the four principles of the organization. It is generally considered that to be elected to this society is practically the highest honor that can be awarded a student, because membership represents achieve- ment in outstanding objectives in life.

Scholarship is not the only requirement for entrance into the Junior Honor Society, because an honor student should be an all-around person, standing for the highest ideals in life. Therefore, the students are judged on the basis of Scholar- ship, Service, Leadership, and Character. Not more than five per cent of the Junior High may be elected each semester. The installation of new members takes place each semester at an impressive Junior High assembly. Later, the old members are given the privilege of initiating the new members. 1:1091 , X I N S pf' f, A A I , 3 ft ' I - . A 1 5 , A k . V A Top Row4Ralph Lichty.

LE VALLEY O PUBLISH a semi-monthly magazine of which South High may be justly proud, is the aim, purpose, and ambition of the Pioneer Staff. New standards have been made for applicants to the Staff this year. Hereto- fore, students were suggested by the faculty, and if they successfully completed the probation period, they were elected to the Staff. But under the new system, anyone who is interested in the work and desires to become a member, is required to fill out an application blank, which will then be considered by the Board composed of the heads of departments. An assembly presented by the members of the Staff, formally opened the Annual Campaign of the year. A new and convenient plan was instituted, whereby students could make small weekly payments on their Annuals, instead of paying the full amount at once. The plan worked quite successfully. Honors were awarded to Staff members at an impressive assembly in the spring. The outstanding social events were: the fall picnic given for new members at Aman Park, the annual banquet held at Cherie Inn at which many alumni members were present, and the Spring party which was a climax to the yearls work. 51113 w K 'W' ' x F' 5' Q 1 A I G E , d l, -b f . -ef 5.

Inspired by a resolve, to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community a high standard of Christian characterf, it has met mornings before the regular sessions of school began to hear talks given by expe- rienced men and to hold informal discussions among its members. During the year, the club sponsored two.large dances, WI'he Corn Stalkv and 4'The Spring Spree. Proceeds from these parties, together with profits from the sale of the Union-South souvenir football programs, were given to school projects. In addition to social and school activities, the club undertook an all-school campaign to procure food for the needy at Christmas. 1:1201 , Top Row-Richard Jochems, Robert Matson, Donald Erzner, Ray Rhodes, Richard Van Tassel, Albert Borst, John VandenElst.

Weekly meetings, under the direction of Mr. Beals, who has been faculty adviser since the club began, have consisted of business sessions, addresses by outsiders, and social hours for acquaintanceship purposes, and have been of great interest. Improvements of a permanent nature in the school have been some of the objectives of this club. Earning money by holding sociables, parties, dances, and sponsoring moving-picture shows at a small cost to the student body has enabled the Four-C Hi-Y to contribute permanent fixtures to the new auditorium, and permanent equipment for the athletic Held. 51213 I' 1 ' K - f- 'k ., l.

The club is the first of its kind ever organized in South High School. After a few meetings the members of the club expressed a desire for a name less obvious but equally significant. As a result of much discussion, the name Pythagorean Club was chosen, after Pythagoras, a famous Greek mathematician and philosopher. Those who have successfully completed one semester of geometry are eligible to become members of the organization. This restriction is made because it is necessary to understand the fundamentals of mathematics in order to understand thoroughly some of the problems discussed. It is believed that members of the Pythagorean Club will find a greater enjoy- ment and understanding of mathematical science after having belonged to the club. 51223 H-.. ,, .Q it fs W .X X, w,,,. .I . . f Q k i , j Q ' ' QX t ' --L.- NM , '.,-L is-if k ' 7 ' , , ' 4 f xg px 'ASE K S A i .

MISS LAURA WILSON ODALITAS Latina is a society for the benefit and pleasure of those who are engaged in the third and fourth years of the study of Latin. It aims to stimu- late an interest in classical subjects, particularly the life of the Romans, and Roman influence upon our present civilizationg and to foster a pleasant spirit of friendli- ness among the students of this department. The Latin Club is essentially a part of the course. Every meeting has an interesting program, which from time to time contains reports by students, short Latin plays, dialogues, illustrated travel talks by outside speakers, and other forms of educational entertainment. fizzj .. s , . fr t ,, I , i n 3 i,,,i,i A f rsaa Q Top Row-Harold Van Vliet, Walter Galimore, James Rigney, Lawrence Fuller, Jay Pylman.

In the semi-monthly meetings, members give talks on the different phases of Roman literature, customs, and lives of famous Roman leaders. Just before Christmas, the club sang carols in Latin. A short play was given in Latin during the first semester, and the members Worked cross-word puzzles in Latin several times. These activities help to create a better understanding of that ancient language and to give the second-year Latin students an idea of what Rome and the Romans were like in ancient times. 51243 L.

The February Frolic given on February 28 was sponsored by this organiza- tion. Several elements in its success were: Don Strouse's Orchestra, playing an all-request programg excellent punch and wafersg and a great many balloons. The proceeds were turned in to the fund for the curtain for the new Auditorium. A number of one-act plays were reported and worked upon during the season.

Most of the girls have earned their first rank, that of Woodgatherer, and are working for the second rank, Firemaker. Candy and baked-goods sales have been held at various intervals through the year for the purpose of earning money to buy the ceremonial gowns required for the Firemakeris rank. These girls have been trying to work and play together in a congenial, friendly group, according to the meaning of their name, Netoppew. msg Y.

The girls in the Ta Ta Pachon group were so successful, that every one of them received a birthday honor at the Annual Birthday Council Fire. To earn this honor, the girls had to learn a foreign song and a foreign dance, emhroider a foreign design, and gain some knowledge about foreign girls. The other important events of the year included a rummage sale, sandwich sales, cooking meals out-of-doors, and entertaining the members, parents with a dinner and program, including a Council Fire at which several ranks and honor beads were given. The group also tried its luck at developing snap-shots. The year ended with a Week-end at Camp Kewano Wohelo.

HE girls in the glee club have joined the organization because of their love and appreciation of good music. Under the leadership of their very capable director, Miss Lindley, they have increased their knowledge of music very greatly. For several years the girls, and boys, glee clubs have together produced an operetta during the Fall semester of each school year. However, this year they gave 'The Operetta Revuew in which they repeated all the best songs and dances from the last six operettas. The Revue also included a short sketch of each operetta. The Spring term was devoted to the preparation of the all-city contest numbers. The annual complimentary Spring concert which was given in the new auditorium was a great success. 51301 Q Life V, ,EEE Russell Austin, Hugo Anderson, Orville Bruns, Truman Baldwin, Douglas Blocksma, Harry Burghdorf, Charles Blackburn, Carlton Babb, Wallace Brown, Marvin Blackport, Orlo Barton, Ralph Blocksma, Karl Burgstahler, Ray Blett, Louis Cooley, Lawrence Case, Franklyn Clark, Edward Collins, Albert Dalson, Hilance Davis, James Dunlap, Robert Deuel, Gaspar Dara, Gilbert Euker, Allan Elliott, Lloyd French, Jerome Funk, James Harnish, Harry Hondorp, Leo Hoogerhyde, Truman Hunter, Lester Heintzelman, James Hoot, Garold Hamilton, Claude Hikade, Frances Hamilton, Paul Howell, Dave Hatfield, Roger Hoffman, Harvey Hazebrook, Louis Jalving, George Johnson, William Johnson, Russell Koepnick, Maurice Ketchum.

GOOD voice is not the only requirement considered for eligibility in the Junior High Girls' Glee Club, for scholarship plays a deciding part in determining whether a girl may belong to the group. No girl is allowed to join who has not an average of at least C in all her subjects. The purpose of this glee club is to stimulate in the group a greater sense of musical appreciation, and to give the girls an opportunity to sing more dillicult music than is sung in the music classes. The interest that is shown by the girls forecasts the fact that in the near future South High is going to have an exceptionally good senior girls, glee club. maj K K M N C V , 1 , . . ,.v.

JUNIOR AND SECNICR BAND T SOUTH High, there are two preparatory bands, the junior and the senior, which Work to prepare Woodwind, brass, and percussion players for desks in the Concert Band and Senior Orchestra. Each organization ordinarily requires a yearis work for promotion. The Junior band begins the year with a nucleus of students who have prepared themselves on their instruments by short try-out periods of bugle playing, augmented by students entering from the grade schools. By the end of the year, this band usually has a membership of 35 to 4-0. The senior band of 4-0 members strengthens the concert band during the football seasong and during the second semester its members prepare intensively to fill permanent positions in the concert band. The band has this season spent most of its time studying selections from Brochtonis Band Book, supplemented by other occasional pieces. msg I3 N ...il 5.917041 1. if I f 7 I i 1 In concert formation, but not on the stage!

It is a welcome addition to the regular programs at assemblies, and a very necessary part of the program when plays are being given by the senior class, the P. T. A., and other organizations. Then, too, the orchestra plays a very prominent part in the success of the annual operetta, and is a regular feature of the annual P. T. A. banquet, and of the Class Day and Commencement exercises. Together with the concert band, the orchestra rendered one of the first programs to be given in the new auditorium. It has fulfilled a fine purpose in giving to students interested in music the opportunity of performing standard works for orchestra. Among the numbers presented during the year were: 4'Orpheus in the Under- worldf' by Offenbachg 6'Symphony in B minorf, by Schubertg '6L,Arlesienne Suitef' by Bizetg and uEspana Rapsodief' by Chabrier. 1:1361 N., ....

Military organizations are fostered in the public schools not with the idea of making soldiers out of high school boys, but to instruct them in the fundamentals of military science and tactics. Then, if the occasion should arise for their enlistment in the regular army, they will have had some training and will therefore make better soldiers. The qualities of discipline, courtesy, obedience, and leadership are particularly emphasized by the R. O. T. C. Under the able instruction of Lieut. Harrell and Sergt. Maclntyre, the unit has progressed rapidly. The unit promises to make a strong bid for honors at the annual Field Day. D381 . , az ,X X xx krbxx k Q - in h , tr. 5 I. .,,,x.

If you take a morning shower, the plumbing must be uCrane,, and you should use Hlsifebuoyw soap and HBlinko', batli salts. Dry yourself with a Glloubleweavei' bath towel. When dressing, put on your ulnterwovenw socks and use uljarisl, garters to hold them up. Put on an NArrow shirt with an uArrow collar, and around your neck tie a NCheney cravat. Your trousers are sure to be held up by only a 'LHickok,' belt. Comb your hair with an uAceH comb, and put 44Greso,, hair-oil on your head. If you shave every morning, be sure you are using a uValet Autostrapw razor and HBurma Shavef, Now you are ready to go down to breakfast. Your silverware is uRogers without a doubt, and 4cQuaker breakfast foods you use exclusively. Drink your cup of '4Maxwell House coffee, then get up and brush your teeth with uPepsodent tooth paste, and gargle with uListerine. Put on your uStetson hat and your NHart, Schaffner and Marx suit, then jump into your uFree Wuheelingw Hupmobile, and go downtown to your oflice. You will probably be the first one to arrive, so take out your key and unlock the door, which has undoubtedly a '4Yalen lock on it. Go in and turn on the electric lights, which of course will be only MEdison Mazda Lampsf, Go over to your desk, which will be, without a doubt, a c'Grand Rapids Furni- ture Capitalu product, and put your feet upon the top, then lean back in your chair. It is summer, so turn on the HGeneral Electric Fanw and light a HCremo cigar. You cannot relax very long, for your private secretary will soon arrive. Wfhen she comes, call her over and dictate a letter to her, which she will take down in uGregg,, shorthand and later type it out on uBoston Bond paper with a uliemingtoni, typewriter. She will then bring it to you to sign, which you do, using a 5'Sheaffer,s77 balanced fountain pen which contains uSkrip, the successor to ink. You take care of your various business tasks, and when it is noon by your NBulova watch, you go to lunch. Order a dish of uCampbell,s,' Tomato Soup, and be sure to specify HSwift's Premium Hamfl If you use a toothpick, accept none other than Hldealf' Now, you can chew a stick of gum if you wish, but be sure it is HVVrigley,s,,, the kind that aids digestion. Every successful business man spends the hot summer afternoon at his favorite country club. You can play a round of golf, but use a uMacGregor club and a uKro-flite ball, and, after the game, take a refreshing drink of uClicquot Clubn ginger ale. Now you must go home and dress for dinner. While you are eating, your ear catches the refrain of the latest song hit, played by HCoon-Sandersn orchestra and brought to you by a uMajestic,, radio. After dinner, you enjoy an MOld Lucky , cigarette. Then you can take the Wife to a show, but be sure itis a uPathel' picture. If all these rules are carefully followed, you will shortly find yourself the most prominent and successful business man in your community and even in the whole town.
