A Few Side Lights Ar each athletic event Al Collins, Jim Kirby and Louie Hoffman are seen leading the many Archer yells, which play an important part in creating en- thusiasm for the team and helping it win its games. Collins, our 1932-1933 captain, has been here four years along with Hoffman, who was captain during the 1931-1932 season. Jim Kirby has also shown out- standing work during his two years of service. The picture left to right shows Kirby, Collins, Hoffman. Among the most prominent members of the Model Airplane Club are the three officers, Garland Eick- meyer, Donald Bales, and Lloyd Burgener, president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer respectively. Each has displayed unusual ability in constructing and flying model airplanes. Eickmeyer has acquired sev- eral city records. Bales and Burgener have obtained high commendation for their outstanding work in the club. Mr. C. A. Bex is the able adviser of the club. In the picture, left to right, are Burgener, Bales, and Eickmeyer. By working diligently, the Model Airplane Club has firmly established itself as one of our most outstand- ing and serviceable clubs in the school. Each member of the club has cooperated efficiently in constructing and exhibiting their models, thereby making the club a huge success. One of the most interesting assemblies of the year was that given by the club early in May. Then the school had a chance to observe the craftsmanship and knowledge of airplane construc- tion and flying principles possessed by the members. To increase their speed and to perfect their skill is the object of these typing 4 students of Mr. Morris, as the intent looks on their faces will testify. When students have completed their fourth term of typing and shorthand, they are well on their way to the life of a stenographer. The industrious students pictured here at their typewriters are: first row-Sommers, Peters, Bucher, Werlingg second row-Gakle, Wil- lams, Gearhart, Koldeway. 99

Due to the Inter-club Congress, under the direction of Mr. A. Verne Flint, many improvements have been made in the building and its surroundings. There was the clean-up campaign in which, as the first step, the stu- dents were given time to clean out their lockers. Shrubbery and trees have been planted, dandelions dug out, and grass seed sown. Mr. Elna Gould, bot- any instructor, acted as technical adviser in the land- scaping work. The latest improvement is the plant- ing of little evergreen trees in the urns at the Calhoun and Darrow entrances. The picture shows the two teachers aiding in planting shrubs, assisted by Kenneth Sinish and Arthur Maxham. Under the supervision of Mr. Louis Briner, physical education director, the boys taking gym enjoy a varied program of body building exercises and games. In the adjoining picture the gym classes are learning how to handle their bodies gracefully, in a class of tum- bling. Mr. Briner instructs his gym classes in basket- ball, wrestling, baseball, volleyball, boxing, and also teaches them how to drill in a creditable manner. After every session, the boys are required to take a shower to cleanse themselves and also to close their pores to prevent colds. One of the most remarkable achievements ever ac- complished in the history of South Side High School was the recent winning of Latin honors at the state con- test by four Archer students. Bob Harruff, Ruth Rohrbaugh, Dorothy Fathauer, Roberta Garton all received laurels for their work in the tenth state high school Latin contest held Friday, April 21, at Indiana University at Bloomington. A gold medal for first place was awarded to Roberta Garton, a Junior. Bob Harruff, a Freshman, won second place. Third place was presented to Dorothy Fathauer, a Sophomoreg and Ruth Rohrbaugh received third place in the senior di- vision. Those in the picture are: front row-Ruth Rohrbaugh and Dorothy Fathauerg back row-Roberta Garton and Bob Harruff. Dean S. E. Stout, head of the Latin department at Indiana University, remarked after the awards had been made, This is certainly a most unusual oc- currence to have one school send down four winners and to have each winner receive a medal. It is both a great distinction and an honor for South Side High Schoolfi 98 'ri-
