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 -.-..

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

Purely hypo- thetical question, I didn't expect an answer! fBy the way, for Nhypotheticall' see Webster.j 1-And can some folks ever take it! They weren't satisfied to have a . . . . time last night but must see how the Post Ofhce is run. 'Twas Social Science members who did the dirty deed. 6-A sister-struggle today in the calf and the music as per usual blared out the old jungle rhythm for youths to ha-cha-cha to. 6-When the fellows played the charity games, they netted 5709.00 and several baskets for sweet charityls sake and that of South Side. 9-Busybodies came around here today poking their nose into classes. Seems as though those prin- cipals would get enough of their own school without being trampled upon by this raging mob. 10-Tell me I'm not Vesklinto Yehumi the old soothsayer, and I'm likely to knock you over, for didnlt I tell you so. South Side started out their rifle season with a win over Elmhurst. 10-They may forget the definition of electricity but shall it ever be remembered that Roscoe Nelson did on this day expound to the world, and the Ex- change Club, the full account of what has been puz- zling the world for months fnot the one about the chickens and the ergj Technocracyl 12- Before the Accoladeu comes out with the first installment in The Times today. Say, who is an accolade anyway? 19-286 shopping days till Christmas. Buy early and avoid the worms. 22-Sunday, and those girls surely did put the hooks into the boys present at the first Forum. And at the Y. M., too, no decency and respect for hospi- tality at all. How could you, girls? 25-Teachers, why do you do those things? You'll never get up to heaven that way! Why do you force me to carry home such a card to my poor old starving mother? And me giving you such a break for you to catch up on sleep without having to worry about me, over this vacation. 25-The Green Archer was cast out of plaster of paris. The Arr Club sells them for 50 cents. Z6- We, the gentlemen of the jury, do hereby award to the plaintiff, one Richard Lankenau, the sum of two thousand dollars for-H A couple of thousand cart wheels wouldn't go bad with me either, but since it was only a mock trial put on by the Social Science Club, it didn,t do much good. 30-With 1,837 brats running around here, and still we exist fthe minus 3 is for a purpose too deep for your small capacities to understandj. Something did happen, too, cause the old stogie was making the smoke go all around the North Side cafe,' with the Student Players messing around with an initiation. Squill and Kroll fguess again if not right at first, was announced today. An even half dozen made it. 106
