Tis true that of these memories some may cause a sigh, but far outnumbering these are the memories of the days spent in cheerful comraderie while we learned the classics and became prepared for the paths of life. It is with mingled joy and reget that we take leave, joy—to be going forth into the world to apply what we have gleaned from our high school life; regret—at leaving the school which has sheltered us, the teachers who have nurtured us. We will long cherish this book, a true account of a four-year chapter in our book of Life. SENIOR ELISHA L. FISHER Dedication To Мг. Elisha L. Fisher, our adviser, we dedicate this, our Yearbook. We hope, with modest pride, that he will cherish it as fondly as we shall cherish memories of his fine spirit of cooperation.

SENIOR — m. ............ ——— OPTIMIST SHELTER OPTIMIST Friends By Isadore Mar£ YRON HARPER was a small man. and becoming a little stout around the middle. His large, black overcoat made him seem round and puffy. He walked on the hard, slippery glaze of the snow, and occa sionally he broke through. His oily face began to sweat, and the frost turned the tiny globules into ice. He walked in a blank, white loneli ness; empty lots on either side of the street, a towering skyline of office buildings in the background. The snow had sifted in over his rubbers, and caked a cold wetness on his socks. His house was half a mile from the office, and in fair weather he often walked the distance, glad of the exercise. Today he had expected to take the car, but Evelyn had wanted it for a drive to the mountains. She was to go skiing with a friend. He thought—the same friend, or is it another one? Gigolos must be cheap nowadays. But he said nothing, kissed her dutifully, and marched off to work. He had been busy that day; there were two cases to be studied, and all the petty, unfinished details that accumulate towards the end the month in a lawyer's office. But after he had done his chores there was the pleasant little task of counting up the monthly receipts. After deducting expenses, and dividing with his partner, he found himself with a total of about six hundred dollars. He was surprised and elated. Of course, the Rexford fee had been unusually large—yes, that accounted for it. So here he was with six hundred dollars, and a mind free to plan. He had been thinking of a vacation for some time; ever since the thermometer had begun to fall, and the snow and frost had kept it down about the freezing point. He would enjoy a vacation; he hadn't really had one since his marriage some eight years ago. He was still comparatively young, and in the very prime of his life. Yes, a vacation was the thing, now that he had the money; and he could easily leave the office to his partner for a month or so. Now he was thinking of it, letting the thoughts filter into his mind as he walked along. Thoughts of the sunny South; of Florida; the leisure, the warmth, and the laziness of a vacation on the beach. Days of lounging in the warm, laving water; of dozing in a long deck chair, under an awning, to protect him from the sun From the sun! He smiled sarcastically, and stared into a grey luminescent dome that bounded the earth. No sign of a sun to be protected from, not even a single ray; just a heavy, grayish shroud, suggesting . . . he shuddered. But the mood passed quickly. He thought again of the South. Yes, it would be Florida; the papers all said so, and Evelyn would enjoy it. She was still beautiful; even though eight years had blunted the enthusiasm of the rising young lawyer, and shown him a little more of the world than he would have wanted to see. He was no longer handsome; nor had he ever been. He wondered again why Evelyn had married him; and again he answered himself—for money. But he had loved her. He still loved her, SENIOR In Wyoming : OPTIMIST SENIOR LDS IN THE SKY OPTIMIST А С—С ง ง งง. ง ง os Reprieve SENIOR ¡€_x_-_ —— m سس . ل‎ — U تب‎ JJ à $ E o ж� O VY 一 - دح‎ D MARCIA M.

Our class officers, God bless 'em,—they worked hard to get elected, and worked hard to stay elected. Seated: Seymour Gerber, president. Standing: (in the usual order) Cecile Mandelstein, treasurer; Morton J. Green, vice-president; and Josephine Gurrera, secretary. In Seymour Gerber, the Senior Class found a hidden talent for the trying job of President, and it was his capacity for organization which welded our class into the highly-geared unit that it is. The greatest tribute that Morty Green would want, would be to have it said of him, that “He tried hard to be serious —and succeeded!” Josephine Gurrera needs no introduction to the male element of the Senior Class, and the class as a whole, will unanimously agree that as Secre- tary, she was the top. Cecile Mandelstein was a Treasurer “раг excellence — she emptied our pockets, and we loved it. There they are, world—win, lose, or draw, no Senior Class ever had a more Royal Family! 44 SENIOR — Senior Optimist Staff EDITOR-IN-CHIEI tuth Schwartzberg DIRECTORY LITERATURB ¡MOR Myrtle Bussiere and Irvin Stock, Morton T.

Senior Debating Team The Debating Team, under the direction of Mr. Byron Kirk, has been successful in every venture. This term we regret the graduation of fifteen members of the Team, all veterans and the cream of the crop. The Team is going out for bigger and better victories. This term the debates included verbal battles with such glorious teams as the Lafayette College Freshmen, Lambertville, Passaic and Princeton. As can be easily ob- served, the Team is dominated by the fair sex. Women always were known as good speakers. The captaincy has been held by the women during the past year. Last term Ruth Schwartzberg was captain, and this term, Janet Weiss. We hope one day to see the people in the accompanying photograph among the lumi- naries in the land.

Honor Society HE HONOR SOCIETY of South Side was organized in 1926, and became a chapter of the National Honor Society in 1930. Since then it has grown in numbers and in importance. lt is the form of recogni- tion granted by the school to students outstanding in character, scholar- ship, leadership, and service. Members are chosen by a committee of the faculty consisting of Miss White, Miss Doroson, Mr. Hutchinson, Mr. Logan, and the faculty advisors of the upper classes. The present ofhcers of the Honor Society are: President, Seymour Krueger; secretary, Rita Denenberg.

Back Row—Pearl Freling, Rose Levine, Dorothea Schwing, Miss Beatrice Gross, Lucille Smallzman. HE INTERNATIONAL CLUB was organized for the purpose of giving our students the opportunity to come in closer contact with the students of foreign lands. One meeting each month is devoted to foreign correspondence. Letters received by the members of the club are read and discussed, chiefly from the social and cultural point of view. Students of the Foreign Exchange System have been very kind to the group in coming to our school to speak about their native country, in their native tongue, and in native costume. This year the club had the pleasure of presenting a student of France and one from Germany at meetings to which the members of the language clubs were invited. In the near future, the club is planning a trip to visit a foreign boat. Besides the letters which are read during the meetings, programs are prepared by the members, further depicting the life and culture of the various countries. Skits also are presented which show the character of the people. Miss Beatrice Gross is faculty adviser and the officers are: President, Gladys Bromberg; vice-president, Shirley Gelfand, and secretary, Mae Salinger. ۱ 50 Junior Secretaries Club With the introduction of the commercial courses in South Side High School, the Junior Secretaries Club came into existence. The members, just as the name implies, are the secretaries of the future. The club has attained its present size and efficiency through the training and guidance of Miss Lil- lian Do roson. The officers are as follows: President, Annie Stevely; vice- president, Rose Groch; secretary, Marion Franzblau. The club aims to familiarize the members with the procedure and eti- quette of the business world. In order to accomplish this purpose lectures, debates, play, and investigations of business concerns are planned. А sur- vey of the office of Kresge's Department Store was the most recent activity accomplished by the club. The members, a great number of whom are seniors, meet every other Wednesday. A program is usually planned by the activity committee over which the vice-president acts as chairman. The ideal of each member is to be an efficient private secretary. Good service as a Junior Secretary will make this goal possible. OPTIMIST 一 Vocations Club HE VOCATIONS CLUB is an interesting and helpful organization. The purpose of the club is to provide students with information con- cerning various occupations for which they can prepare. Information which includes educational opportunities, college entrance require- ments, and costs is collected by the group. Through a system of committees preparing various phases of the work, the Vocations Club group has discussed the high school program, methods of securing positions, and methods for holding jobs. A special committee is investigating vocational opportunities for Negro youth. The officers elected for this semester are: President, Caroline Sudfeld; vice-president, Catherine Casson; and secretary, Helen Kelly. Mr. Holland has given his support and able assistance to the club. Miss Beryl Anderson, library assistant, has been of great assistance in securing information on various subjects. SENIOR Business Club HE officers of the group are: President, Harold Glaser; vice-presi- dent, Constance Vasselle; secretary, Celia Heyman. Mr. Canio Scoca is faculty adviser. The club aims to. provide an opportunity for pupil expression; to develop a realization of business problems and responsibilities; to inculcate a spirit of sociability and co-operation among the members. To accomplish these purposes, a diversified program has been planned. Among the activities scheduled are open discussions on topics of current interest in the business world, dramatic interpretations, debates, student lectures, visiting speakers, and trips to commercial houses. Meetings are held every second Friday at 2:30 p. m., in Room 213. OPTIMIST ------------------------------------------- Photography Club NTHUSIASM marks the activities of the Photography Club of South Side High School. There are two groups: The Senior and the Junior. The officers of the Senior group are: President, Albert Goodman; vice-president, Gertrude Green; secretary, Ethel Diener. The officers of the Junior group are: President, Jack Schwartz; vice-president, Sidney Venetsky; secretary, Sylvia Morrison. Mr. Norman C. Finkel is the faculty adviser. The aims of the club are to familiarize the members with methods and fundamentals of photography. Above all, the club aims to have the members derive pleasure from active participation. Both the Senior and Junior clubs have twenty-five members. They are interested in all phases of still photog- raphy, motion picture making, and photoplay study. They are studying the construction of still and motion picture cameras, the art of taking pictures correctly, and the fundamentals of photography.
