Robert Parrish Lionel Schwan Junior Rippe James Thompson Evelyn Schwartz Hugo Winterrowd FRE HMA OFFICIALS When the freshman class of 1931 elected Robert Par- rish as their president, they seemed to know what they were about, as Bob seems to be showing that he is a leader in many things. He has started by making the honor roll both semesters and by being chosen to the Booster club and by having a position on the Times staff. Bob has had an excellent helper in his duties, Lionel Schwan, who was elected vice-president of the class. He was also chairman of the games committee at the an- nual freshman party. Junior Rippe was chosen to keep the records of the class of 1934. 1-Ie was in charge of the ticket committee for the party. Evelyn Schwartz, James Thompson, and Hugo Win- terrowd were elected to the executive council. They were the heads of the refreshment, publicity, and decor- ation committees, respectively, and were assisted by Martha Suter, Jane Tolan, and Robert Goldstine. With such a group in charge of the various commit- tees, it is no wonder that the freshman party went over so well this year. So many were present that the party had to move from the cafeteria to the gym. In order to get acquainted with their classmates with whom they will go through the next three years, various get-ac- quainted games were played. Hand-shaking contests and relay races with match boxes on noses were the features. After a grand march through all the dark halls and up and down South Side's many inclines, the yearlings had refreshments of pumpkin pie, cider, and ice cream. Two-hundred-fifty first-year students attended this party. South Side has some famous freshmen with her this year. This year Dan Zehr set the wor1d's backstroke indoor swimming record for boys. Morris Neuman, one of South Side's yell leaders, played on the R. K. O. vaudeville circuit previous to entering high school. Thus South Side claims at least two nation-famed freshmen, and the rest have three more years to prove their abilities. Donald Powell has made an excellent start by show- ing himself an outstanding football player. Don was the first freshman ever to make the team. Page Cne Hundred Four

Elizabeth Yaple and Jane Vesey are trading positions on The Times, so as to better prepare themselves for major positions which they may hold later. Libby Yaple and Mary Jane Stults are usually seen whispering in a corner planning some dark conspiracy. Bob Knepple is a friendly fellow who is always willing to lend a helping hand. Now we know why Robert Feustel's eyes are so twinkly- the twinkle is the reflection of the stars he is eternally gazing at. John Brubaker is also interested in the constellations. Who knows, he may even discover a heretofore unknown planet. Louise Frost is the sweet girl who relieves parched throats at the games with ice cream and coca cola. Many of these freshmen started their high school career in a scholarly fashion. By virtue of their hard work the names of Elizabeth Barrett, Charles Bell, Mary Angela Berkey, Vir- ginia Beverforden, Dorothy Bremer, Wayne Brown, John Bru- baker, Grace Butler, Helen Eggers, Melvin Eggers, Martha Jane Engeler, Robert Feustel, Louise Frost, Jean Funk, Martha Garrison, Winifred Gearhart, Edith Geiger, Esther Gerding, Thelma Greek, Bob Gross, Lillian Henning, Anna Louise Hos- tetler, Jane Johnson, Virginia Judd, Mary Jane Kelsey, Helen Koldeway, Charles Lautzenheiser, Richard Lendeman, Harold Meigs, Herbert Merrill, Jack Mueller, Jean Rensenhouse, Ron- ald Staley, Richard Storr, Billie Stracler, Nell Jean Thomas, and Nancy Yapp were listed on the honor roll. Meterites and U. S. A. enticed numerous freshman girls, and likewise, Wranglers, the Glee clubs, orchestra, band, Torch Club, and the Wo-Ho-Ma Club drew a goodly number of the class. Upon glancing back at the first year of citizenship at South Side High School, we find that Robert Stone, who was elected president, guided the members of the class safely through that first rather hard and trying year. Charles Benz and Bob Hull were elected vice-president and secretary. Jean Farrel, Dor- othy Hosier, and Margaret Gakle composed the Social Council. Thoughts of the freshman picnic still bring smiles of remin- iscence. After the aforementioned freshmen had played base- ball and picked flowers to their hearts, content, they refreshed themselves with delectable hot dogs, beans, pickles, and ice cream. The G. A. A. offers girls the opportunity of indulging their love of sports. Many availed themselves of this opportunity. Page One Hundred Three

Borkenstein William Brunner Marie Butler James Carmichael CLASS OF 1934 It has been well and fully proved in the former Theo Berry Margaret Blue joe Brown Frank Buchan Ned Butler Maiirice Chaney pages that the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore classes are offered sufficient opportunity to obtain from their life in South Side High School the seven fundamental principles that form the basis of a well-rounded and worthwhile life. These seven points are: Health of body and mind-a goal which must be attained as a foundation for all else, Command of Fundamental Processes, which one must get before entering college, Worthy Home Membership, Worthy Use of Leis- ure Time, Vocation, Citizenship, and Ethical Character. By the older and more experienced classes these points are proved, but is the younger class offered these seven cardinal factors of high school life? In helping the student to attain a sound body and mind the school has added a compulsory health class to the Freshman course. In this class the first year pupils are taught the principles of diet, sleep, proper exercise, cleanliness, first aid, and all that goes to make up a body and mind of the highest degree. The Physical Training Department of the school gives the pupil the proper exercise in the form of calesthenics and games. Every boy and girl in the first year class who is physically able talces gymnasium. Some have proved themselves outstanding in this class. Don Powell has shown that even a freshman can make the football team. Don did excellent work as a center of the Archerls eleven last fall. There are other Freshman boys who are keeping fit by entering in the school,s athletics. Those who have been worlcing in baslcetball are: J. Cunningham, N. Dalman, M. Deggests, E. Dah- man, R. Dent, Declcson, A. Eisenacker, D. Ficks, J. Fisher, G. Flotter, W. Geyer, L. Groh, A. Gratz, G. Geiser, Geiger, L. Galloway, Ginther, H. Hucke, L. Hilsmier, Hilgeman, C. Hunt, L. Haas, R. Haukins, R.
