Bob Stone was in general charge of the arrangements for the affair. Melvin Eggers had charge of the tickets, and Jane Vesey had charge of the pub- licity. The planning of refreshments and decora- tions was left up to Agnes Blosser and Maxine Davenport. Musical chairs and other games af- forded entertainment for the guests. Then they all trooped to the cafeteria where they devoured ice cream and cake. After that, those craving ex- ercise retired to the gymnasium where they trip- ped the light, fantastic toef' Miss Perkins and Mr. Vvilson, the advisers and sponsors of the class, helped to make this annual party a success. Louis Hoffman, Allen Collins, and Richard Storr are depended upon by the student body to lead them in yells, and their conhdence is not misplaced, as these boys have plenty of upepf' Virgil Gerber has again been proclaimed the shortest boy in the school, and the co-eds, not to be outdone, have pronounced the 'Qbig-littlel' girl of the G.

John Brubaker, as an endman, was a decided success in the Mins- trel Show. The other members of the Boys' Glee Club are: Lloyd Hill, Franklin Lebrecht, Byron Mann, Franklin Meyer, John Reynolds, and Ken- neth Sinish. With the aid of the Girls' Glee Club, The Lucky Jade,', the annual musical presentation, was given. Virginia Beverforden, Grace Butler, Dorothy Hosier, and Margaret Gakle were rec- ognized as four of the priestesses in the beautiful astral dance. Those participating in the chorus were: Lorene Broxon, Genevieve Dunlap, Louise Frost, Margaret Gakle, Edith Geiger, Esther Gerding, Isabelle Gruenert, Thelma Greek, Irene Klingler, Harriet Knapp, Helen Koldeway, Marie Rawleigh, Betty Peters, Lavern Pierson, Jane Skel- ton, Ruth Snyder, June Swihart, and Nancy Yapp. The preliminary to the operetta, senior play and commencement is the orchestra. Peering down into the orchestra pit are seen: Richard English, Sterlingildoffman, Dewayne Scheele, Virginia Schriefer, Kenneth Sinish, and George Tinkham. The band is indispensable. Besides playing for all the games, the band members usher at all school meetings. The willing members are: Adam Dowty, Richard English, Franklin Lebrecht, Franklin Meyer, Dewayne Scheele, and Jim Savage. Of course, there is no place for a guitar in the band, but Ed Hardesty and his guitar are mighty popular at the tea dances, and the encores he received in the Minstrel Show were numerous. Many important positions on the Times staff are held by sophomores. The first of these posi- tions is that of managing editor, which is held by Elizabeth Yapleg the copy editor is Fred Mac- Feeleyg the news editor, Jane Vesey with Jim Page One Hundred One

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
