This year the club has formed a new service, the sending of eight girls as representatives to the Home Economics state convention held at India- napolis. The club also made baskets for the poor at Christmas time. Worthy Home Membershipn and Home Customs in Foreign Countries have been their principal topics of study this year. Not only are the girls preparing themselves for a happy and experienced home-life, but also are many of the boys. More than half of the first year boys are learning the art of the hammer and nail in the Manual Training Department. Chairs, benches, end-tables, lamp-bases, stools, and many other interesting articles have been put on display in the front hall at various times during the year. This is certainly sufficient proof that even the fledglings are showing what worthy home makers they are going to be. One of the most important things in the mind of the growing boy or girl is, What will I do when I grow up? Opportunity of experimenting in various vocations is offered to the students in South Side. Some of these departments and clubs are open to Freshmen. The one that seems to have attracted them most is journalism. Although the course proper ordinary is not taken until the junior year, the first and second year pupils may work on The Times staff where they may experi- ment on either the business or the editorial side of the paper. Robert Parrish, Tom Kaplan, Lawrence Gallo- way and Sam Rea have been proof readers on the paper. Mark Gross has been very successful in writing features and reporting sports. It seems that the girls preferred the business side of the staff, as Caroline Williams has taken the position of advertising solicitor, while Evelyn Swartz and Francis Clymer are auditors. Edith Spangle was an assistant circulation man- ager. Edith has been the only Freshman who has Page One Hundred Eight , my -M ,L .1 N ,.2.. an . . 1 - S M-.- .,., b- as k .1-'B ' ' , i , X 1- W ts?

The freshman girls interested in dancing are Thelma David, Waneta Loy, Betty Priesmeyer, Mildred Reiner, and L. Watson. H. Aichele and M. Sorenson have danced for quite a few school programs. And those taking up basketball are: H. Aichele, A. Balmer, B. Baltzell, M. Beck, Beerman, A. Black, M. Borkenstein, A. Breidenstein, E. Bremer, V. Bucket, V. Christen, M. Crosby, M. Crum, and L. Eckart. It is very certain that the fundamentals have not been overlooked, as all the Freshmen are re- quired to take some type of mathematics and Eng- lish, the two subjects which are the most impor- tant bases of these principles. So many Freshmen have made the honor roll that it is quite evident that they are fully preparing themselves for col- lege. Those who were on the first term are: Fran- ces Adams, Donald Akers, Donald Baals, Harriet Beach, Efhe Bremer, John Brown, Margaret Buir- ley, William Burgrag, Virginia Christen, Frances Clymer, Eugene Craig, Paul Deal, John Dern, Thomas Doell, Helen Driver, Elizabeth Evans, Jeanette Fyson, Roberta Garton, Darrell Good, Doris Grice, Mark Gross, Barbara Haven, Doro- thy Herb, Constance Hubbard, Thomas Kaplan, Milford Kruse, Robert Parrish, Phyllis Rudig, Marceille Sailer, Evelyn Schwartz, Elinor Sieber, H. Edward Simminger, Margaret Simminger, Ma- rie Sorenson, Martha Suter, Lillian Thompson, Paul Trey, Charles Waltemath, Caroline Williams, Ernest Williams, Hugo Winterrowd, and Dorothy Yobst. It is said that the home is the base of every- thing. It is the first place where one learns the creed of unselfishness, honesty and duty. In or- der to turn out healthy, happy, upright men and women, the home must be made a happy and well- governed one. These eight freshman girls evidently took this into consideration when they joined the Wo-Ho- Ma Club fWorthy Home Makers, , which is under Page One Hundred Seven

This club admits only those who have earned at least 1500 points by doing outstanding work in journalism either by writing, soliciting advertising, or by hold- ing one of the important positions on the staff. These Freshmen are reporters: Elinor Sieber, Caroline Williams, Marian L. Johnson, Elizabeth Evans, Marie Butler, Marlc Gross, Marie Soren- son, and Ed Horniclc. One of the very first places where one learns citizenship is in the school. When a Freshman enrolls in South Side, he has certain rules pointed out to him which are made to keep the school government from going into chaos. The Fresh- man immediately recognizes the importance of standing by these rules and knows the penalty of disobedience. Many students have talcen an interest in politics, and the Wranglers Club is one which teaches the pupil to be a real politician, as one can see by the name. Because of the increase in discoveries of new inventions and labor-saving devices, one of the big- gest problems in the minds of the American peo- ple today is the question of leisure time. The sociological problem arising from this situation is serious, and the school helps cope with it by stimu- lating interest in out-of-class worlc that is practi- cal, beneficial, and enjoyable to the student. Art is a subject which develops in the student the power of observation and creative ability. En- joyment and service in leisure hours can be aroused in the pupil from its many profitable and interesting possibilities. South Side's Freshmen have become quite in- terested in this subject and many of them are either taking art in a class or have joined the club proper. The first year Art Club members are: Betty Baltzell, Dorothy Bieberich, Marjorie Mc- Mullen, Eloise Morell, Maurice Neuman, Ardelle Niswander, Lea Nyifeler, Opal Raber, Virginia Shirey, Orlita Swartz, Wilber Siler, Evelyn Storm, Hortense Turner, Donna Belle Tanco, Georgiana Thorton, Betty Jane White, and Ruth Wiley.
