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

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

5 .swf A In the Year 1933 After ten years South Side has a more mellowed appearance than it did in 1922. Even since this picture was taken, the lawns have been improvedg and more shrubhery has been planted. And years have brought added enrichment to the values that lie within this great school. Miss Martha M. Pittenger, dean, has for ten years observed and guided with conscientious advice the thousands who have passed this way. She has acquainted herself with almost every student. In addition she has had complete charge of the extra-curricular activity program, which in itself is an enormous task. For two years Miss Virginia Montgoinery, '31, has acted in the capacity of attendance ofhcer. A private office adjacent to Mr. Snider's was constructed for her use. Here performing her most common task, she is making out absence slips. Below right: Miss Dorothy Alderdice has served Mi'. Snider as the office secretary for six semesters. She has many important tasks, on the accurate performance of which the whole school depends. -A ff--M - 5 is-3'lZP??i X .2 xiii: , ,ul , i A' -.Axxlihlhthll-id-I s f ' s i.i 4 -.-..
