MALiovt't 1 gf-'i 3-Torch Club held first meeting under new adviser, Mr. Sterner. You did some fine work last year, boys. With this new blood in you, we're expecting even bigger things this yearg so go to it. 3- Back-to-School Night for our parents. Can't you just imagine all our mamas and papas running around up here in the halls trying to find the correct room. I bet they looked just like a bunch of big overgrown freshmen. 4F- What this school needs is more red-headed class presidentsf, Such was the slogan on which Pinky Merrill was chosen president of the Senior class. 5-Vote for Hoover! Look what he has done for the school boy! He got him out of a part day of school! He surely is a great guy doing that. By the way, that item said something about parental O. Kls. There were some minds made up by proxy that day. 6-Twenty-page anniversary issue of The Times out. It certainly was a fine memorial for its tenth birthday, but it was too big to read in class without detection. 8-Post Office dedicated. The band didn't look so good besides Central's and North Side's. but they surely showed they could play even dressed as white- wings. 14-The first of a series. Math-Science had their Halloween party in the Greeley Room. Were you one of the couple of lucky ones who guessed that the hobo was Bob Dent? 103 19-Rejoice and be exceedingly glad. Let joy be unconhned. The price of The Totem is to be reduced two-bits giving me a chance to shout. Good news . On second thought, maybe R. Harvey remembered that I was to write this and decided 52.00 was too much with this kalendar in it. 19-In keeping with the times comes the Girl Re- serve-Hi-Y Hard Time Dance at the Y. W. C. A. Not a decoration in the gym, and dancing was done in school clothes. It was swell. But I never will forget how those two blindfolded fellows pounded at each other with those towels, all because Skinny Walters asked for someone to entertain the girls. 22-Social Science Club started its list of services to the community by planting a marker at the scene of the death of Major Fontaine. Nice work, mem- bers-keep it up. 23-Well, weive been pestered with them that spell- ing tests for a dickens of a while, but at last we've found who the best ones are. I guess it wasn't so hard to decide though, for Dorothy Fathauer and Eric Beyer had perfect scores. What students! 25-Can you imagine Pat Murphy and Ward Gil- bert balancing tea cups on their knees at the So-Si-Y brawl for the faculty? Betcha they had punch and wafers. 28-If Caruso rolled last night, he certainly must have turned clear over tonight, for when those G.A.A. women, Bremer and Blosser, get together, something is bound to happen.

And are those lockers shiny, but how long will it last? You know the freshmen don't seem so bad. Theyire green. but they're growing fapologies to Maurice Murphyj. 7-I've decided it is the same old schoolg The Times campaign has started. Wouldnlt it be grand if everyone would just plunk down his three two-bits without having those agents on his neck for about six weeks. 15-At last we know how The Times is made up. That assembly certainly showed why The Times is the paper it is. 16-Did you see the unveiling of the Lincoln sta- tue? My, how those Sea Scouts maneuvered around to get in the picture! 17-Have we a football team or have we a football team? It sorta, seems we have. At least the boys certainly pulled a few feathers out of the Columbia City Eagles. 35-6, not bad. 21- All ashore that's going ashore, cried Jim Savage, and the Travel Club started its tour of Eng- lishaspeaking countries. And by the way, did he ever give us the real reason of hanging on the rail when we hit that storm. 22-Autumn is here. and the only way it is cele- brated around here is by an executive meeting of the Parent-Teachers' Association. fplagiarism is a great dean.j 24-Miss Patterson today explained the most sen- sitive spot on the ankles, so the girls can Put their opponents out of the hockey game easily. And I'1l bet she pointed out that it might come in handy sometime on a date. Shucks, though, we're not all that bad. 26-Wo-Ho-Ma held open house. But that is only a name, or for some reason or other they wouldn't let Bob Pettit fpansyj in. 27-Rifle Club holds first meeting of the year. They have some of their crack shots back this year, so they ought to have a successful season. I know I'd hate to stand up and have some of those fellows start throwin' lead at meg so here,s to 'em. 27--Oh, unlucky day. The Totem staff was an- nounced. Little did we know then what we were getting into. 29-Today the What-Not Club decided to give off sunshine by being a member of the Sunshine Club. With Marie Butler belonging to it, how can it be other than a Sunshine Club? 29-Behold! South Side,s authors will write a novel this year. It certainly ought to be good with Mr. Makey and the rest of those young budding geniuses behind it. Watch for the first installment in The Times. 30-Ah me! The first wench-whirling of the year. And were they whirled? Say, I thought my shoes were polished when I went up to that cafeteria. 102

Such were the sounds issuing from the lusty throats of the Dads, chorus as Mr. Jones fanned his arms around out of time with the music as usual. 3-Hurrah! Hurrah! The Totem is surely a suc- cess. We have thirty-six subscriptionsg so nothing can stop us now. 4-And there sat Makey, impervious to the rattle and roar of the pep session as we prepared the team to pull the tail of the Central Tiger. Imagine read- ing a I-Iarper's Magazine when a tiger is roaring out- side. 4-All ye Democrats and Republicans rally 'round for the Political Prom , Philo's big wench-whirling. But why do certain people always have to crash these school dances? Stop me before I get into a real dis' ertation on that subject. 5-Thumbs hooked in the armholes of my vest, I went strutting around. And why not? N. E. I. C. and city champs. Yea, boy. Any wonder we had a snake dance? A 13-to-0 victory over Central is worth a coupla' snake dances. 9-Ye guides, another weeny bake. Two packages of Tums and still indigestion. Oh me, oh me, will I ever learn to stay awnv from those Art Club weeny burns? 10-Ho hum. All-American for The Totem. Not news but I have to include it just on general principles. Twenty or thirty years of this and we ought to get used to it. 11-MufHe the drums and mute the trumpets for a double reason. It's Armistice, and end of the grade period. 12-Travel Club skating party. But it was just one big flop for everyone concerned. fThat's a punj. Miss Pittenger was present and thought she'd like to try them out. I left before that happened. 16-Aint'cha kinda sorry now? Grades issued. 18 and 19-Say, there are a lot of fellows around here who could go for that Sheets dame when she wears a red dress, and carries a glass cane. Remember her in the Minstrel Show? And by the way, wasn't R. Nel fanother punj a swell inner-locker? 23-School street car passes out. I wonder if there isn't some way a fellow can use them to go to the show at night. 24 and Z5-By all the luck of the gods these two days it would rain. Just when I was all set for a nice vacation, it had to pour for two days and two nightsg and afterwards, two by two, the students came back to the confines of the largest one-story school in the U. S. 25 and Z7-State Hi-Y Conference. I have no news of this because all true reports were censored. Enough said when 'tis mentioned that Savage was present. 26-They finally started pestering us with instruc- tions for making out our program cards for next sem- ester. I've been expecting it for several weeks, but at last it's here. Fellow Seniors, today was the last time that we'll have to pay attention to that stuff. 104
