Wwe.-J Cm -1-Yodels and yelpsl Screeches and screams! 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

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.

Totem really does go over. Darn it anyway, T thought T would get out of writing this. The usual three hundred broke through again and made the honor roll. Nuff sed. 1-It seems that some very queer things have hap- pened because of the election. Wheelbarrow rides galore with Mark Gross, fhe always was a poor guesserj and Harold Meigs being the power of loco- motion. jane Vesey gets to increase her schoolgirl Hgure with a double chocolate malted. 2-Once more one of those tea dances without any tea. Oh deah, ah was so boied that Ah jus' couldn't imagine why theh didn't have that deah ol' English beve'age which Ah soo love to sup. 8-Did you ever lamp R. N. S. munching hot dogs? 'Twas a great sight, especially with the mustard running down his chin. But such things are to be expected at the Hi-Y Papa and Laddy Banquet at the Y . 9-The grey ghost walks again, heh, heh, and no wonder those teachers were happy as a bear in the '30 market. I'd like to see a nice fat check, too. Of course, we did get one 'cause we beat Marion 19-16. Better as sixty-three rivet-throwers were those boys fclassical illusion No. 11. 10-And was Danny Zehr when he broke Johnny Weisn1uller's record in the 100-yard backstroke by one second fsleep on it tonight.j 105 10-Burly brutes do drag dames to Collegiate Clog. I know you won't recognize it so Tim telling you. It was just the Letterman's dance. And the fellows can play football better than dance. Of course, that is on the Q.T. for they would try to mangle me if they heard it. 14-National Ornery Society picked. What a day for some people! And then they say they didn't ex' pect it. 16-Well, the boys did it again. This time over Bluffton, 20 to 15. Thatis three straight. How about fifteen more? And say, did you see Augspurger's pajamas? Pretty snazzy, eh? Red is a nice color! 16-But we must take the bitter with the better. Those salmon-colored cards started Hitting through the mails to our dear, doting parents. Such is life. 17-All the time showing off! Don't go around gloating over those two dollars you won on those life insurance themes youse guys wrote. I had a rich uncle die once. 18-Aw, let's lay off the jokin', that was pretty good! The glee clubs can really sing when they want to, and they showed that they wanted to when they sang the Christmas Cantata at the Plymouth Church. 21- Bag 0' Wind Switzer wins extemp contest! Heid be a what-a-man speaker if he could just keep both legs under him. 'Twas darned clever work that makes a guy break a leg before Christmas. 25-The big day! ftoo much said alreadyl
