Dean Martha Pittenger surrounded by activities which will not make John a dull boy. ur Four Years at South thrill even in recalling the times we all played ketch out on the curbstones with a rotten tennis ball, just to pass away the few minutes before the next period. Those front steps have become the accustomed and well-loved lounge of the school. And, though it may seem impossible now, some of us are certain to find something memorable about viewing and labeling the entrails of that big bull frog that had been kept in alcohol by the seven biology classes before us. You can,t help but remember with no little enjoyment how you fooled the whole fac- ulty when you slipped away from the Senior Dance with half the decorations. And the Senior Play! Fritz Leiber's and Robert Mantell's greatest work on the stage won't be able to knock the memory of your own class play from its due place. The gym, of course, furnished you with enjoyment and torture that have combined to cause just a little emotional twist as you look back on that freshman and sophomore gym class experience. Maybe you are one of the ones usnaggedu by the faculty advisers to clear the cafeteria floor for the tea dance the next period. Wonit those five or ten min- utes you took oif after the work was done to dance or play the piano or talk, stand out prominently in your memory when South Side has been left behind? Can you possibly forget your assignment to the eighth period session that spoiled all those hopes for The picture on the left shows one of the Friday afternoon tea dances: the other a snapshot of the study hall. Side High a four-year school career without an after-school blemish on an otherwise spotless record? For some of us, the thought of walking along a hall, no hall in particular, so long as we were shut in by the walls of South Side, causes us to recall other school happen- ings worth remembering. And don't you remember how you used to think the long road to successv the faculty used to talk about was the aisle down the study hall leading to the en- trance of the girls' locker room? Perhaps one of the little, more insignificant things that will be predominant in your memories of South Side will be Dorothy's telling you to hurry up with that final payment on the cap and gown or the invita- tions. Or maybe you can remember waiting for twenty minutes or so for Dorothy to grant final per- mission for you to get that interview with Mr. Snider. Speaking of the school in general, what are some of the changes and improvements the graduates of 1934 have seen made in South Side during their four- year stay here? In the first place, we entered this building in the fall of 1930 with a terror of ninth periods-not eighths. The inauguration of the idea of supervised study in South Side this year has lengthened the periods, now fifty-five minutes long instead of forty- five, as they were during our freshman days. Furthermore, we have only to think back a semester
