I S 1 -50 A I The SCRAPPER officers and sponsors chosen were: captain, George Seibert, Pat- ricia Whitmoreg first lieutenant, James Young, Louise Darden. In the Armistice Day parade, South Side made a fair showing by placing third in the review. The officers and sponsors, with Miss Weakley as adviser, entertained with a luncheon at Hotel Pea- body and a box party, after the parade. The officers and sponsors also had a social at the Y. M. C. A. and a picnic at Riverside during the following months. The unit spent the next few months in preparation for the an- nual government inspection. Cn May 5th, the inspectors came to South Side. This year the reviewing officers were Major Evans and Captain Bennings from corps headquarters. The inspection lasted two hours. Although the results have not been announced, it is believed that South Side made a good showing. On the night of May 6 the annual R. O. T. C. Officers Ball was given at the Nineteenth Century Club. All South Side officers and sponsors attended. The officers and sponsors wound up their social activities of the year with a dinner-dance at Hotel Claridge, May 16. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. Gnuse, Major and Mrs. Cushman, Lieutenant and Mrs. Harrison, Miss Weakley and Coach Ewing. Everyone had a delightful evening. The Competitive Drill was not held this year because of rain. It was scheduled for several different occasions but the weather prevented it. The rest of the time was spent in drilling prospective officers. It should be noted that this is the last year in which Major Cushman will have charge of the R. O. T. C. in Memphis. All who have known him during his stay in Memphis have liked him very much and regret seeing him go. 201 Our New Gym South Side now has a gym. This gym should be an inspiration to out athletes to strive to have better teams at South Side. The gym was constructed by the H. A. McQuire Construction Company. It will consist of a floor seventy-five feet long and forty-five f-eet wide. The goals for playing basketball will be placed seven feet from the walls allowing plenty of room between the goals. There will be bleachers on the north side that will seat abuot six hundred. The south side will be for players only. The girls' dressing room is on the east side, on the ground floor, the boys' dressing room be- ing on the west side on the ground floor. There will be sixty lockers constructed by our manual train- ing department. The lockers are constructed so that they will provide plenty of ventilation for the equipment. There are six showers in the boys, side and six in the girls'. A drying room is con- nected with the dressing rooms. These drying rooms are the first of their kind in Memphis. Our gym complies with high school reg- ulations and will be one of the best in the city.
