Zommer, Christine Cousin, Jean MONOLOGUE Shadows stretch somberly across our path, They are dim shadows, yet dark enough, That we must peer carefully ahead Lest we stumble into the obscurity Which lines either side of the narrow way. You say: Shadows are intangible, nothingness, And a light can easily dispel them. But do you carry that shining light? You say: Surely, four years have testified to that! Yes, you have been catalogued, your virtues extolled Your accomplishments recognized and accorded. But beyond these shadows, out there Will they realize your merits, your wisdom, Will they bear your faults and correct them, Concede your attainments, and give you your due? Then we wonder—have these things been too easily acknowledged, Have they been overestimated DAVID SANDUSKY Thirty-three

CLASS WILL Four years ago, we, who are now the mighty Seniors of South Side, were new-born high school students. Now, we are about to leave this life. We feel it necessary, at the point of our departure from this world into the future life, to leave behind us, a will, so that our benefactors (its benficiaries) shall profit thereby (we hope). We, representatives of the Class of January in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred thirty- seven, being hearby sound in mind (yeah! solid throughout) and body, do hereby draw up this: LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF JANUARY, Section I: To Mr. Belcher, our principal: The high esteem and gratitude of this Senior Class for giving us his helpful advice and constructive criticism. Section II: To Mr. Strong, our class adviser: Faint recollections of the 4B class committee. Section III: To our Teachers: (a) Mr. Kirk— That some day he might penetrate the South Side skull and inflict upon it some History facts. (b) Miss Rivoli— The sympathy attached to the proof problem. (c) Mr. Cain The pleasure of satisfying future Seniors with fewer tickets than the few we had. (d) Mr. Gordon— The tortures of instructing the band during the football season. (e) Mr. Warenreich А depletion in the ranks of his Optimist circulation staff. (f) Mr. Hutchinson— The worry over that Senior debt. Section IV: To tbe Senior B's: The ideal of an Optimist with five pictures on a page, and a prom outside the school. Section V: Advice to Fresbmen: Be good kiddies and listen to teachers. Never argue with Seniors. Section VI: To the school at large: (a) The bad odors of the Chem. lab. (b) The front of the school for seating purposes. (c) The faculty who are now convalescing from the ordeal of tol- erating us for four years. We do bereby appoint Mr. Franklin Strong, executor of this, our last will and testament. We set in witness thereof, our last seal, this January, in the year of our Lord nineteen bundred and thirty-seven. Thirty-four
