Tercentenary Tribute T 'HERE is a desire that all have — the desire to relive their happy moments. Some at- tempt to do this ivith the aid of a diary; others trust to their transient memory to give them the means to turn back the flight of time. The senior class of South Side has found the surest ivay to recall happiness experienced at school. It has the TOTEM. TO the secondary schools of the past ive oive f- the ivorthivhile opportunities ive enjoyed at South Side. On this TERCENTENARY ANNIVERSARY of the inception of public high schools it is most fitting that some of the history of the development be included in this yearbook. Consequently, the eiolution of secondary schools tvas made the theme of this TOTEM. =m. THE STAFF Bill Hockett 1..

For decades the head master was a man with a long white beard, terminating in a point; and, when he stroked his beard to the point, it was a sign for the boys to stand clear. With the growth within the schools the number of teachers increased, and eventually one was chosen to govern the entire institution. In this way has developed our modern principal. South Side's own head master, R. Nelson Snider, who has governed the destinies of South Side's multitudes since 1926, has all the qualities which make one a good leader. He is popular with his students because he is interested in all extra-curricular activities, is concerned with their individual problems and plans for the future, and is in favor of modern methods of punishment — re- p eal of the hickory stick and appeal to the students' mentality. Mistress of Minding Although secondary schools began in 1635, girls did not attend them until 1790. Then they were allowed to at- tend only from April 20 to October 20. High schools did not become co-edu- cational until Central High School of Chicago was founded in 1856. After 1875 high schools grew rapidly, and soon a need was realized for someone to guide the students in their social activities and other e.xtra-curricular work. Today the larger schools and colleges have two deans, one for the boys, the other for the girls. Small high schools have none, while those of South Side's size usually have one, a dean of girls. Miss Martha Pittenger has filled this position in South Side since 1922. She has always held a high position in the hearts of our boys, as well as girls, because of her fairness, sound judgment, and willingness to co- operate to the fullest extent in making the students' extra-curricular activities successful.

Yea White! Yea South Side — let's fight! This old favorite yell brings to us like a flash a vivid picture of fighting teams and roaring crowds. Our enthusiasm and our praise for this activity is wholehearted, for such features add a great deal of spice to our high school life of today. But our high school of today, with all of its modern curricu luin and e.xtra-curricular opportunities, is not a matter of only a few years' planning. High schools came into existence only after years and years of growth in the educational field. In 1935, we are privileged to cele- brate the 300th anniver- sary of secondary schools. We realize to day more than ever be- fore that the school is the foremost institution of the land. Hand in hand with this realiza- tion, we are today more eager than ever to fur ther the development of the school system. As we are leafing through the pages of the 1935 Totem of South Side High School, let us stop to give consid- eration to the tercenten ary theme. The very book itself, of course, is a sign of the progress during the past three centuries. The ter- centenary section of the Totem simply brings out more clearly the steps of this progress. If we read with half-closed eyes and wide-awake iinagination, we may easilv allow ourselves to drift back three hundred years on the wheels of time — Arma virumque cano tells us at once that the Boston Latin Grammar School is in session. It was the first secondary school in America and was the forerunner of many Latin grammar schools which soon came into existence and which were most familiar to the early American colonists. The town established the school, and the residents supported it by a subscription. Later, land grants by the colony to the town, bequests, donations, tuiti on, taxation, and income from public utilities, such as fisheries, were used as sources of support. The town records show that On the thirteenth of the second month of 1635, the good people of Boston, led by John Cotton, voted that our brother, Philemon Pormont, shal be intreated to become scholemaster for the teaching and nourter- ing of children with us. The course of study was made up exclusively of Latin and Greek treatises, including Caesar's Com- mentaries, Vergil's Aeneid, TuUy's Epistles, and the Bible in Greek.

In those early days of education the schools were much less democratic, lasted for a longer term, and had a much narrower purpose than our present schools. The aim of the Boston Latin School was to prepare boys for college and for the ministry and to train them to read the Scriptures in Greek. Boys of eight years of age who had mastered the elementary art of reading attended this school, which lasted from ten f twelve months, with few holidays. The Massachusetts law of 1647 provided for establishing grammar schools to prepare students for the university. This law, commonly known as the old deluder, Satan, act influenced other New England colonies to foster Latin grammar schools as public institutions. By the close of the century possibly forty Latin grammar schools had been founded in New England. Two of the most famous early alumni ot the Boston Latin School were Sam- uel Adams and John Hancock. They were taught by a schoolmaster who wore a long white beard, termin- ating in a point; and when he stroked his beard to the point, it was a sign to the boys to stand clear. Early in the eighteenth century, in Boston, another Latin school was established and three writing schools. In the writing schools the simple arts of writing and arithmetic were taught. In 1787, the Massachusetts Legislature passed a very complete school law, which provided for the beginning of the modern school board. In 1790, another important step was taken which resulted in co-education. Due to petitions from numerous respectable residents of Boston, school enrollment was extended to girls, their at- tendance being permitted from April 20 to Octo- ber 20 of each year. It is interesting to take stock of several peculiar- ities associated with the Latin grammar school be- fore we consider the second historical type, the academy. For instance, when the boys were re- quired to study spelling and grammar, some par- ents found fault and asked that their boys inight be permitted to take arithmetic only in their last year. In the Latin school, each boy knew exactly what piece of grammar he would recite upon ex- amination. He would not be compelled to recite the declension of tres (three) when he had been drilled on the declension of duo (two). Every- one in the early days agreed the best way to dis- cipline scholars was by wielding a long rod. Old pre- cepts, such as Spare the rod and spoil the child, ' were popular. In 1751, the academy rose from the need of a sec- ondary school broader in scope than that afforded through the restricted curriculum of the Latin gram- mar school. It therefore taught those things that were felt to be most useful and most cultural. Many such institutions were established, and they became far more influential than the Latin grammar school. By 1850, there were 1,007 acadeinies in New England; 403 were u City's First High School- — Courtesy News-Sentinel. -1868 19 THE TOTEM A frequent occurrence in colonial schools.

It provided for a more democratic service by its enriched curri- culum, gave opportunities for secondary education to girls, pro- vided for training of teachers for the lower schools, and caused education to be less doininated by sectarian influences. A Westminster Seminary in Fort Wayne, a Presbyterian acad- emy for girls, was founded by the Westminster Association; it lived sixteen years. This is to be remembered about it; it was very, very strict in every way. Soon, the first high school appeared. Massachusetts was again the state to lead the way. In Boston, in 1821, the English Classical School was founded. Three years later its name was changed to English High School. Oddly enough, there was much ado about its being called high school. High schools increased in nuinber rapidly. The first high school in the United States to enroll both, boys and girls was the Central High School of Chicago, founded in 1856. Much dispute was caused over high schools, particularly during and after the panic of 1873. It was declared that expenditures for each pupil in attendance were too heavy. Legal attempts were made to restrain the action of local authorities in the establishment of high schools. In the case of the Kalamazoo High School, which case was decided by the Supreme Court of the State of Michigan in 1872, a decision was reached that the state had a legal right to use funds received from its citizens to establish high schools and to support them after their establishment. About 1865, there were approximately two hundred high schools in the United States- in 1900, more than 6,000, with a student body of over 500,000. From 1910 to 1930, high schools grew eight titncs as fast as the population. Several new conditions and inventions fitted hand in hand with the high schools. The invention of the labor-saving machinery increased per capita wealth. New modes of transportation and the rowth of the cities made for easier access to schools. Large scale industry, complex machinery, and business efficiency called for large numbers of trained and educated workers. A favorable result of this progress was the decline of child labor. During this time of progress, it is inter- esting to note the enrichment in the curriculum and note the time of entrance into secondary education of the various subjects found in our own school. The first schoolmaster in In- diana about whom there is anv account is M. Rivet, a polite, generous-minded missionary. M. Rivet came to America in 1795, after he had been driven out of Europe by the French Rev- nliTtion. The missionary estab- lished a school in Vincennes. Though the State of Indiana ■idopted a law in 1816 to provide for a general svstem of educa- tion ascending in regular grad- ation from township schools to a state university wherein the 20 THE TOTEM tuition shall be gratis and equal to all, no steps were taken to introduce the free public schools in Allen County prior to 1853. From 1853 to 1854, schools in Fort Wayne were taught in rented buildings. The fact that special buildings were not built for schools shows that they were not rated as being important. The first school board in Fort Wayne consisted of Hugh McCuI- loch, Charles Chase, and William Stewart. It is surprising, how- ever, to find that the new school system in Fort Wayne was compelled to fight for its very life. People not only were uninter- ested in furthering the school system; they strongly opposed it. This opposition and a lack of friends forced the schools to close from 1854 to 1857. During these years, however, some progress was made. The Clay and Jefferson Schools were planned and built, and enough money was obtained from taxes to keep school for the next several years. However, the difficult years were far from being over. Dur- ing the years, 1857 to 1859, the opposition to the public schoo's was so keen that an injunction was secured to restrain the council from paying out funds appropriated by them for the maintenance of the schools. Thus, those who still persevered were compelled to put up a real fight. In the summer of 1858, a committee was appointed to solicit funds from the community to keep the schools open during 1853 and 1859. In the meantime, warrants issued for the Jefferson School were coming due. Ten loyal citizens mortgaged their property to the State of Indiana for 500 each and purchased school warrants from the school board. At this time both the grades and high school were in the Clay building. In 1859, the high school was moved to the Jefferson School. Still, the struggle continued. From May, 1859, to January, 1860, the schools were again closed because of a poor financial condition. The following year, 1861, the school loan was declared unconstitutional; and, though new legislation was enacted, not much interest in schools Tercentenary Committee Left to right: Mr. Gould, Mibi Oppelt, Miss Ley, Miss Mngley, Miss Harvey, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Flint, chairman. Sonia VelkoiF, winner of the tercenten- ary poster contest was shown. Despite all the strife, four peo- ple succeeded in graduating from the Jefferson School. Mr. E. S. Green, super- intendent of the Fort Wayne schools in 1865, presented diplomas to these first graduates of the high school — Emma L. lialdwin, Margaret S. Cochrane, Marion E. Humphrey, and Abbie J. Sharp. The high school housed in the Jefferson School soon became over- crowded. Thus, in 1867 the first high school building was planned. Oliver P. Morgan, John S. Irwin, and Edward Slocum, members of the school board, induced the city coun- cil to issue bonds for the purchase ol lots on East Wayne Street where the Paramount Theatre now stands. In the summer of 1867 and the spring of 1868 a two-story brick school was constructed. The formal opening with the dedicatory ceremonies took place on September 5, 1868. Among the speakers was Prof. J. H. Sinarf, superintendent of schools at that time. Since then, the James H. Smart School was named for Pro- fessor Smart. The elaborate ceremony which took place on that day shows us that the new school meant a great deal to the people of Fort Wayne. The New High School had a faculty of eight.

It was one of the subjects in the first secondary school in America, the Latin Grammar School, established three hundred years ago in Boston. Today, it is still im- portant, for more students take that language than any other. It is fitting, therefore, that there should be an or- ganization in South Side for furthering the study of Latin. The purpose of the Latin Club is to enhance the cultural side of Latin and to enjoy social activities. In the course of the Novem- ber meeting, pupils of Latin of North Side High School presented a Roman Style Show. The Decem- ber meeting brought together both the French and the Latin Clubs for the annual Christmas celebration. The varied and interesting prograni, which was held in the Voorhees Room under the sparkling lights of a Christ- mas tree, included a play, Mater Romana. On Jan- uary 10, Miss Eleanor Smeltzly, spoke of her travels in Rome. a f ' J Becker, A. Branning, Gale, H. Grunewald. R. First Row: M. Persing, R. Reitz, Schannen, V. Gardner, C.

These officers served throughout the entire school year. The officers were ably assisted by the fac- ulty members, Mrs. Grace Welty, Miss Alda Jane Woodward, and Mr. Martin Rothert. Parlez-vous Francais? By LLOYD GRODRIAN National Honor Society Although Latin was the first subject to be studied in secondary schools, French was not studied until modern languages were introduced into the cur- riculum sometime between 1826 and 1840. It is now offered in many high schools throughout the United States; in South Side 112 are taking it. Three years ago a group of these students fonned an organization for the purpose of furthering interest in the French language and customs and called it Cercle Francais. A large part of the success of the club tributed to the fall and spring semester presidents, Clarabelle Chenoweth and Frank Montgomery, who worked in conjunction with Miss Olive B. Perkins, fac- ulty adviser. Supporting the reign of Clarabelle Chen- oweth were Lloyd Grodrian, Betty English, and John First row: M. Snider, P. Graham, B. Medaris, Frank Montgomery, Miss Perkins, C.

To assist him with his duties, Frank Montgomery had Betty Medaris to act as vice-president, Phyllis Graham to keep the minutes, and Mary Snider to record t he points. Outstanding in the social events of the club was the skating party held at Bell's rink on November 17. 22 THE TOTEM Sinstein Hasn't a Chance By WAYNE BENDER President in Fall Semester Although mathematics and science did not make their appearance in the curriculum of secondary schools until the academy had recognized them, they are now considered two of the most important high school subjects. Here in South Side they are advanced in a recreational way by the Math-Science Club. Formed in the fall of 1922, with all of the mathe- matics and science teachers as advisers, this organiza- tion still continues to prosper and hold its place in the South Side sun. As the years rolled on and new school clubs were formed, _ the number of sponsors decreased, until now there are but four advis- ers. Miss George Anne Hodgson and Mr. E. S Gould were advisers foi the fall semester, whih Miss Adelaide Fiedlei and Mr. Lloyd Whelan piloted the club during the spring term. Getting off to a flashy start is a good way to be- gin, and that is how Math-Science Club star- ted its prograiTi last Sep- tember, with an electrical demonstration. The an- nual Halloween party, a talk on the relationship of mathematics and elec- trical engineering, and election of officers fol- lowed in order for the October, November, and December meetings. Talks on radium, geol- ogy, and Indiana's State Parks were heard by the club in January, February, March, and April, while in May the annual outing was held at Foster Park. Math-Science has as its purpose the promotion of mathematical and scientific knowledge, and seeks, through its activities, to create and maintain an interest in these fields. Any student who is at least a lOA and who has taken one year of science or mathematics may become a meinber of Math-Science. The officers and committees for the fall semester were: President, Wayne Bender; vice-president, Ursula Morton; secretary, Arleth Carvin; treasurer. Garland Eickmeyer; Inter-Club Congress representative, Helen Anderson; program committee, Ursula Morton, Dick Helm, Lois Magley, and Robert Lehman; entertain- ment committee, Eleanor Cupp, Helen Hickman, Clay- ton Kilpatrick, and Wayne Decker; refreshment com- mittee, Anna Brumbaugh, Dorothea Nance, and Helen Sinish; arrangements committee, Pauline Crabill, Rob- ert Blomker, and Max Tritch; and publicity, Bryce Minier.

The practical use of leisure tiine is encouraged through the purpose of the club. Outstanding mem- bers who have shown service to the club and whose work in science and mathematics is of high standard are honored by the club in its semi-annual Recogni- tion Service. Through recreational work in science and mathe- matics the Math-Science truly advances knowledge. 23 THE TOTEM Literary Leanings By RUTH A JONES Publicity Chairman Though girls were not admitted to high school un- til 1856 and though the study of English literature was not considered of any importance until after the day of the academy, which appeared in 1751, from these two late developments in secondary schools has come one of the most outstanding organizations at South Side — the Philalethian Literary Society. Since its organization in 1922, Miss Elizabeth Demaree, one of our English teachers, has been the faculty adviser. To stimulate an interest in higher literature and to promote friendship and higher ideals is the motto of the society. The club colors are gold and white. The organization's motto is loving truth. To become a member of Philo, one must be at least a lOA, have a grade of B in English, and be passing in all other subjects. On applying for membership, one must give a written application to Miss Demaree, upon whose recommendation the girl is invited to join the organization. To carry out the Philalethian motto, the girls have devoted one semester to Indiana's literary men and another to the Greek classical writers. The program theme this year was literary houses. Many interest- ing programs were given about the homes of famous literar)- men, such as the Fleet Street home of Samuel First row: C. Davis, E. Thornton. Miss Demaree. D. Fathauer, H.

Where Mickey Mouse Cavorted Johnson and Nathaniel Hawthorne's House of Seven Gables. An event which adds much to the student's social activities is the traditional dance which Philo gives on the evening preceding the annual Central-South Side football clash. The decoration theme of this year's dance, for which Bud Goldman's orchestra furnished the music, was Mickey Mouse. The Greeley Room was attractively decorated with large, life-size figures of the characters made famous by Walt Disney. The officers of the club for the fall semester were: President, Alice Hulse; vice-president, Dorothy Fath- auer; secretary, Harriet Yapp; treasurer, Betty Me- daris; publicity chairman, Charlene Davis; sergeant- at-arms, Mary Martha Hobrock; program chairman, Edythe Thornton; and pianist, Betty English. A praiseworthy feature of the Philo programs was the Philo quartet, consisting of Clarabelle Chenoweth, Helen F 1 a i g, Betty Brothers, and Betty Me- daris, who worked dili- gently to give the Phila- lethians songs of various types. An added pleasure of the mid-term vacation was the annual mid- semester tea at the home of Alice Hulse for the active members, alum- nae, and teachers of South Side. Miss De- maree and Alice Hulse received; Dorothy Fath- a u e r and Clarabelle Chenoweth poured. Each year Philo does social welfare work. At Christmas Philo endeav- ors to make the Christ- mas of a needy family more happy than it might have been. The annual Philale- thian musical was held 24 THE TOTEM at the home of Betty Enghsh at the beginning of the second semester. The program consisted of singing, reading, and renditions on various musical instru- ments. Since it was near Saint Valentine's Day, the decoration motif was appropriately in keeping with this theme. The outstanding traditional event on the Philale- thian calendar is the Saint Patrick's Day Banquet. The Potato was the program theme of the banquet, vvhich was held at the Fort Wayne Woman's Club. About seventy guests, including active members, alumnae, teachers, and parents, attended this banquet, which was Philo's thirteenth Saint Patrick's Day Ban- quet. The most humorous feature of the program was the potato race between Mr. Null and Mr. Snider; Mr. Snider, the victor, won a potato masher. Another social pro- ject was to provide lit- erature for a school in the Ozark Mountains which was destitute of books, which were gra- ciously donated by iTiembers of the faculty and student body, who prepared a box which, they hoped, gave those students in the Ozark school as much pleasure to use as it did the girls to send. Each semester Philo has a theatre party. In keeping with its motto, the picture viewed this last semester was Da- vid Copperfield. Truly, it is a great work of a great author, Charles Dickens. On Senior Day, fol- lowing the club's tradi- tion, the juniors enter- tained the graduating seniors. This affair was held at the home of Ann Abbett. The amusing Senior Will and Prophecy was read. At this time, the election of officers for next fall was held. The spring semester officers were: President, Alice Hulse; vice-president, Margaret Mur- phy; secretary, Verna Holtman; treasurer, Alice Mae Siebold; program chairman, Ruth Adier; sergeant-at- arms, Mary Martha Hobrock; Inter-Club Congress representative, Helen Anderson; publicity chairman, Ruth Jones; pianist, Betty Engiish. On Recognition Day Philo presents a silver lovmg cup to the student of English 6 who has done the best piece of creative writing during the semester. This cup was presented to Sam Rea two years ago for a personal essay; an essay written by John Bremer won the award last year. The name of the winner is en- graved on the cup which is to be presented every year hereafter. The primary purpose of the Philalethian Literary Society, of course, is to promote an interest in higher literature among the girls of South Side. The pro- gram chairman and the club officers, who comprise the program committee, always select a theine for the semester's programs which pertains to literature. Some- times they choose to discuss the lives of famous inen of litetature, sometimes they take up their writings, and once in a while, some other phase. Last year Philo had the great good fortune of having its own poet, Roberta Garton. Roberta wrote some very good poetry; seme of it was published in various scholastic papers and magazines. Her work, of course, added much to the literary part of the programs. Philo endeavors not only to further interest in litera- ture but to promote friendship and higher ideals. 1 irM row: V.

This part of the organization's aim is accomplished through its social activities, such as the annual ban- quet, the dance, the picnic at the end of the term, and the theatre party. In this way many Philo girls have not only enjoyed many good times, but have formed some beautiful, lasting friendships. The Philo Club, then, has during its thirteen years of existence carried out its high and noble purpose. In developing in its members an appreciation of the fme arts, the organization has studied and enjoyed some of the masterpieces of literary production; and the girls have learned to enjoy the best in music through their musicales. In promoting friendship and high ideals among the members of the club, the society has in a large sense inade South Side a more enjoy- able place for one to spend four of the happiest years of his life. Thus Philo has become known as one of South Side's most successful organizations. 25 THE TOTEM bookworms' Battleground By JOHN BREMER National Honor Society South Side's library is a help to the students in practically every one of their subjects. English students read 9,300 books a year for their outside reading points. Non - fiction books, including books on debate, history, geography, and all the other subjects, total 26,760. Fiction books may be taken out for two weeks; and non-fiction, over night. Teachers may keep books indefinitely. The picture circulation is 1,344 a year; and the clippings, 1,698. There are twenty-three members on the library staff — nine juniors and foitrteen seniors. To become a member, one must be a junior and pledge to remain a member for at least one semester. After one semes- ter's service a bronze pin is given. At the end of the second semester the bronze pin is returned and a silver pin given in its place. On Recognition Day of a member's senior year, a gold pin is given him to keep. The Library Club is an auxiliary organization formed last year. Its purpose is to make use of local talent and at the same time give those interested in library work an opportunity to learn more about it. Meetings are held the second Tuesday of every month. The program usually consists of a book review, a reading, and occasionally a talk by an outside speaker. The officers of the club for the spring semester were Dick Russell, president; Martha Franz, vice-president; Jo Anne Smith, secretary; Maxine Mariotte, Inter- Club Congress representative; Bill Fries, sergeant-at- arms; and Eugene Holtman, point recorder. During the fall semester the officers were Frank First Row: J. Sweet, G. Martin, M. Franz, V. Ellinger, H. Hick- man, J. Smith, W. Fries. Second Row: E. Holtman, J. Clapper, R. Long, R. Collins, R.

A Scene in the Library Montgomery, president; Helen Hickman, vice-presi- dent; Catherine Hirschman, secretary; Virginia Beck, Inter-Club Congress representative; and Clayton Kil- patrick, sergeant-at-arms. Miss Emma Shoup is the faculty adviser. In learning to do library work, the members of the club are assigned tasks to do during the periods of the day and after school. Their work usually consists of shelving books, carding, clipping newspapers for the files, and repairing damaged volumes. Frequently potlucks, an initiation, or a wiener bake .ire welcomed by the club members. Although much of their tiine is devoted to their fellow students in their daily routine, these workers do find time once in a while for an evening of fun. The library is one of the most interesting places in the school in which to spend a few leisure moments. If one has no definite assignments to get, he cannot spend his time more profitably than by going to the library to read books or current magazines. It is the best method of broadening one's knowledge of science, literature, history, and current social and political developments. Miss Shoup saves the best of the latest newspaper items, pamphlets, and informational circulars. She clips the outstanding news items and care- fully files and catalogs them. These are at the service of the entire student body. They often prove invaluable to those who have to prepare speeches and debates on current questions. On the bottom row of the reference shelf, which is maintained principally for the use of debaters and public speaking students, can be found a group of green boxes. These contain pamphlets, circulars, and government bulletins on taxation and other problems and questions that are not covered by the reference shelf and other debate books. In addition to this, there are magazines on file that date as far back as 19 19. These are all bound in neat brown covers, and they often come in handy when one is seeking material on old questions. When seeking material for debates, students are referred to these volumes by the Readers' Guide. 26 THE TOTEM First row: M. Winkler, M. Meier, P. Gerding, K. Simm-nger, M. Webb. Miss Scbmidt, E.

Sie Sprechen Auch eutsch By SUE MEYER National Honor Society When the academy, the second type of secondary schools in America, was founded, one of the principal subjects taught was German. Since that time it has occupied an important place on the school curriculum. At South Side students have evinced such interest in the subject that three years ago the German Club was founded, and, under the efficient advisership of Miss Clara Schmidt, it has enjoyed a large measure of success. Every other Wednesday those students who are particularly interested in German gather together in the Voorhees Room at 3:30 o'clock. Here they spend a pleasant hour discussing interesting German sub- jects, listening to speakers interested in Germany, or viewing some films on the screen which have a special connection with the theme of the semester. Margaret Dickmeyer was president of the club dur- ing the fall semester. It was decided that during this semester the theme of programs would be to study German composers. To carry out the theme, the pro- grams were featured by speeches on composers and piano selections composed by the particular men about whom we were studying. An outstanding speaker of the semester was Dr. Charles H. Smith, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church. He spoke on his trip through Ger- many at a joint meeting of the Art and German Clubs. He not only interested the German students by speaking a bout customs and conditions in Ger- many, but he also interested the art students by telling 27 them about German architecture and art. The Christmas party of the German Club is always an event to be remembered. Games of all sorts feature the entertainment, and German refreshments are served. An outstanding feature of the party is the attendance prize awarded by Miss Schmidt. It is a ginger cookie house and very cleverly made. This time it was drawn by Don Sparkman. Assisting Mar- garet Dickmeyer with the duties of the club were Ellis Lochner, vice-president; Susanne Meyer, secretary; Mary Martha Hobrock, treasurer; and Theo Schueren- berg, Inter-Club Congress representative. Faithfully and efficiently guiding the German Club through the spring semester was Ellis Lochner, while Martha Webb held the office of vice-president. Betty Rison kept the books, Kathryn Simminger held the money bag, and Don Sparkman represented the club at Inter-Club Congress meetings. German Cities was the theme of the meetings of the fall semester. Frieda Schubert spoke on her trip to Dresden at the first meeting. Miss Smeltzly gave a general account of German cities at one of the meetings. Films were shown at the three last meetings of the semester on Munich, Berlin, Dresden, and the Rhine, . s a fitting farewell to the seniors, a picnic was held May 22. The purpose of the German Club is to attain a greater knowledge of German speech, literature, music and composers, geography, and customs of the German people. THE TOTEM History Will Out By ALETHA HATFIELD Social Science Secretary First Row; F. R. Whitmer, Miss Smeltzley, G Goette, U. Morton, C. Kilpatrick, A. Abbett. Second Row: J. Sweet, B. Blomker, J. Bex, D. Helm, E. Trapp. Third Row; L. Bonsib, Mr. Wilson, M. Rothberg, B. Minier. Debates, discussions, interesting speakers, and good times — all are the various characteristics of the meet- ings of the Social Science Club. This organization is the culmination of the interest shown by South Side students in such subjects as his- tory, civics, and economics. History has been a high school subject since almost its earliest days, but civics and economics are comparatively new. It has been only in recent years that they have been widely taught. Now, however, they are popular subjects both in the classroom and out. Capital and Labor was the theme of the club's programs throughout the past year. The attitude of Capital and Labor toward each other formed one of the main topics of discussion. Mr. Arthur Viat, presi- dent of the Federation of Labor in Fort Wayne, gave an interesting talk on Capital's Attitude Toward Labor. At the meeting following this speech, the members held a round-table discussion on Labor's Attitude To- ward Capital. Along with these regular meetings, sev- eral social meetings were held, one of which was a Christmas party. Musical entertainment and outside speakers, who talked on current topics, comprised the programs of the social meetings. The Social Science Club was the sponsor of the Lin- coln Day assembly held in commemoration of Lin- coln's birthday on February 12. The program was given in the form of a March of Time. Robert Adams read a biography of Lincoln, and various memorable scenes of Lincoln's life were enacted by members of the club. The five scenes which were por- trayed are: Lincoln As a Boy, The Armstrong Murder Trial, The Gettysburg Address, The Emancipation Proclamation, and Lincoln's Last Official Act. The people taking part in these skits and the parts which they took are: Mr. Lincoln, Alvaro Ferlini; Lin- coln as a boy, John Bex; Lincoln's mother, Helen Sin- ish; witness at the trial, Robert Blomker; judge, Ned Hackney; attorney, Louis Bonsib; butler, Clayton Kil- patrick; and Blossom, Aletha Hatfield. Manuel Roth- berg gave the Gettysburg Address; Flo Rose Whitmer gave a poem at the opening of the program; and Ann Abbett recited a poem at the close. Ursula Morton was general chairman of the pro- gram; and Dick Helm, Bryce Minier, and Manuel Rothberg were on her committee. Others who assisted with the assembly are Wayne Bender, Gerry Goette, James Sweet, Jo Anne Smith, and Ernst Trapp. The members of this club are juniors and seniors who have a scholastic average of at least B and who are eager to find ways in which they can better the civic and economic welfare of the country in which they live. The officers of the past year were: President, Bryce Minier; secretary, Aletha Hatfield; Inter-Club Con- gress representative, Manuel Rothberg; and historian, Doris Kaplan. Miss Eleanor Smeltzly and Mr. Wil- burn Wilson are the faculty advisers. On May 10 the members of this club enjoyed a pic- nic at Franke Park. The club ended its season with the annual historical tour, which was held after school on May 15. Among the various interesting sites which were visited are: Johnny Appleseed's Grave, Har- mar's Ford, the Second French Fort, and Anthony Wayne's Fort. At each of the sites visited various members of the club gave short historical sketches about the place. The students who gave these talks are: Manuel Rothberg, Ursula Morton, Mildred Foel- linger, .'Metha Hatfield, Kay Kigar, Bryce Minier, Ned Hackney, and Ernst Trapp. 28 THE TOTEM By ESTHER FRYMIRE y N State Nitzsche champions in advanced shorthand, Alma Dorothy Fathauer, and Anna Brumbaugh. Amid the click-clacking of many typewriters and the busy scratching of the pencils and pens of our buddmg stenographers and bookkeepers, the future business, men and women of Fort Wayne ar e learning their trade in the commercial rooms in the northeast corner of our building. Here in South Side business-minded students are offered a number of opportunities in the way of com- mercial training. They may take either of two courses — the general clerical or the stenographic. The first offers bookkeeping, commercial law, and business Eng- lish; the latter, shorthand, typing, and business English. Pupils who wish to take the stenographic course, however, must have at least a B average in all subjects and are required to secure the permission ot Mr. E. H. Murch, head of the commercial department, before entering upon the course. This year Mr. Murch gave advanced pupds the privilege of learning how to use the comptometer and the dictaphone machine during free periods. Students who took advantage of this privi- lege may some day secure positions because of their knowledge of the use of these ma- chines. Members of the faculty who teach in the commercial department are Mr. Earl H. Murch, head of the department; Miss Nellie Covalt, Mr. Delivan Parks, Mr. Russell L. Furst, and Mr. Harold Windmiller. This year Mr. Murch entered his advanced students in the annual Indiana State Com mercial Contest. South Side had not entered the contest for almost ten years, and this year it was done solely for the sake of finding out how South Side students ranked with other commercial pupils. Much to everyone's surprise and delight, South Side won the initial, or mass, contest, which was taken by the entire shorthand classes of the schools entered. Anna Brumbaugh made a score of 211 out of a possible 215 points, which ranked her third highest in the state. South Side was then qualified to enter the final stage of the contest; and three members of the class, Anna Brumbaugh, Alma Nitzsche, and Dorothy Fathauer, were chosen to represent the school in the state meet at the Ball State Teachers College in Muncie. The team met with considerable success; it won first place as a team, and Dorothy Fathauer won the first individual award and Anna Brumbaugh, the third. The team also captured the cup, which signifies the winning of the most points in the advanced shorthand division. The name. South Side, was inscribed on the cup, and the school will keep it for one year. It must be won dur- ing three successive years before it remains the permanent possession of the winner. Freshman students who take the commercial course have an opportunity to show their ability in lines lead- ing to business work for the future. As a background for the last year or two in the commercial course, the freshman students are required to take commercial arithmetic and junior business training. The arith- metic deals mostly with learning to add, subtract, mul- tiply, and divide rapidly and also in learning to work long story problems. In junior business training the pupils learn the fundamental principles of business and the various business forms. The students who do not take the commercial course usually try to find a period some time during their four years in high school to take one semester of typing. Practically every post-graduate, and many seniors, take one semester of typing since knowing how to type has numerous advantages. To the plunking ot keys 29 We Believe in Miracles By FRED PRANGE National Honor Society The curriculum of the academy reserved an important place for the sciences. The modern high school has an equally important place for them; and South Side is no exception, for six sciences are taught by a staff of eight teachers. The science course has several objectives. In the course of study the pupils are taught the importance of science to industry and to the home. While studying science, many students find that they have particular aptitude for that line of work. Thus it helps students to find their place in life. Since the history of important discoveries and the biographies of great scientists have a great cultural value, science broadens the students' outlook, which is another important aim. The fourth objective is to teach the scientific method. After the students have learned the scientific method — to strive for the truth at all times — they will not accept so credulously fakes of all kinds. Biology, a freshman subject, takes up the study of both plants and animals. The purpose of this subject is to give the freshmen a broad outlook on science and to serve as an introduction to the whole science course. Mr. Heine teaches the biology classes. The study of plants is further advanced in botany, ' hich is taught by Mr. Gould and Mr. Voorhees. During the first semester of the botany course, seed plants are studied. In the second semester plants as a system are taken up. Most of the girls taking science in their junior year study botany. In physical geography the surface of the earth is the main topic of the first semester, and the atmosphere is the general topic of the second. The atmosphere includes such things as a study of the weather and climate. Mr. Whelan and Mr. Heine teach this subject. Physics is divided into mechanics, taught in the first semester, and wave vibrations and molecular action, taught in the second semester. Wave vibrations and molecular action includes such phenomena as diffusion. Roentgen rays, and radio waves. Laboratory work consists of confirming the laws of the subject. Mr. Hull and Mr. Sidell con- duct classes in this subject. Health, a one-semester subject, teaches the art of healthful living. Its importance is greater now than before because of the high-speed activities of the modern industrial world. Miss Edith Crowe teaches most of the classes. During the fall semester Mr. Heine and Mr. Gilbert also teach this important subject. In the first semester chemistry teaches the basic laws of the science and in the second of common things and a little organic chemistry. The laboratory work of the first semester consists of confirming the basic laws. In the next semester the pupils are given a little analytical work. Mr. Voorhees, head of the science department, and Mr. Gil- bert teach this science which is the most popular one at South Side.

THE TOTEM Join the Travel — See the World By NEWELL KELLOGG Entering upon its fourth year, the Travel Club, whose ideals and purposes are to unite the energy, interest, and knowledge of South Side's would-be travelers and to further the achievements of its mem- bers through world knowledge, chose as its theme for the fall term A Trip Around the World. The officers for the fall semester were Bob Klop- fenstein, president; Mary Osborn, vice-president; Ail- een Branning, secretary; Eliza Bess Lucas, treasurer; Virginia Baumgartner, foreign secretary; Mary K. Smith, Inter-Club Congress representative; and Mor- gan Harrison, sergeant-at-arms. During the fall semester the club visited Washing- ten, Paris, Moscow, Bagdad. India, Australia, Hawaii, and Quebec. The Travel Club held its annual night party on November 3. Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets were filled by the club members. A portfolio, which contained a Totem and interest- ing facts about the historical and commercial sites of Fort Wayne, was prepared by Miss Thorne, faculty adviser, and Virginia Baumgartner and was sent to Australia.

The club decided that the theme for the second semester would be Around the World in Search of Gems. Wayne Christie, Mary Michaels, Ruth Fowler, Newell Kellogg, Catherine Allendorph, and Lloyd Grodrian were elected president, vice-president, secre- tary, foreign secretary, treasurer, and sergeant-at-arms, respectively, for the second semester. Some programs on the emerald, diamond, opal, alexandrite, and the ruby carried out the theme of the second semester. On April 6, the Travel Club was host to the Clear Creek High School seniors, juniors, and faculty members. An important social function was the dinner party which was held in honor of the members of the 1935 graduating class. One of the outstanding programs of the year was given January 2. The topic was Quebec. Frank Mont- gomery and John Bremer gave a short playlet first in French and then in English entitled The Right Moment. Miss Hazel Miller gave an interesting talk on Quebec. Slides were also shown. Other interesting programs of the year included a talk on Russia by Mrs. Alice Foster McCulloch, and a talk on Tur- quoise and Mexico by Miss Delancey. Club members were also entertained by selections on the accordian, violin, piano, and guitar at several other meetings. The Travel Club has always made it one of its aims to have every member perform some service either for the club itself or in carrying out a purpose of the club. The club meets every other week on Wednesday, in the Greeley Room. The officers meet on the Wednes- days between meetings. At the beginning of the term the officers choose the clubs theme for the semester and also select members for the various program com- mittees and special committees. The club's member- ship usually averages ninety for the entire year. So with approximately nine programs each semester to be planned for, there are usually about ten people on each program committee. 31 THE TOTEM (L rtistic (L 4bility (t ssembles By BETTY ENGLISH National Honor Society April, the month of showers, ended the activities of the Art Club in the 1934-35 year with a grand climax, the annual Art Club dance. The Easter Parade was the theme of the dance. The Greeley Room was a veritable fairyland, if bunnies and chicks reside in fairyland. At the door were two tall bunnies dressed in formal attire with high silk hats and long-tailed coats. A tall, prepossessing bunny, a brother of the two at the door, stood behind the orchestra. Around the room were bunnies dressed as clowns and bunnies dressed as kids, with big bow ties and guilty looks on their faces. There were industrious bunnies coloring Easter eggs and lazy bunnies doing nothing at all. There were chicks — chubby little fellows — climbing in and out of Easter eggs. And there were Easter baskets, too. The ceiling was transformed into a maze of soft colors by crossing delicate pinks, blues, yellows, and violets. The lights took the shape of baby chick- ens in cracked Easter eggs. The theme of the semester of 1935 was The Prac- tical Side of Art. The Art Club made a special effort to bring before its members some of the finest speakers of the city in order to carry out this idea. At the end of the 34 semester, the Art Club mem- bers held a Christmas party at which Miss Gretchen Smith gave a very interesting talk on Art and Danc- ing. She illustrated her talk by various photographs of paintings of the old masters. A girls' dancing class interpreted such rules of art as symmetry, rhythm, uniformity, and color. In February, the Art Club members took a trip to Mr. K. B. Yohannan's Oriental Store, where they heard a most enlightening talk on Art and Oriental Rugs by Mr. Yohannan. He illus- trated his talk with various rugs in his store, telling where the rugs were made, and the colors and patterns used by various peoples. Mr. Yohannan also explained the use of looms in the making of rugs. Early in March an excel- lent talk on Art as a Hobby was given by Mr. Wal- ter H. McBride, director of the Fort Wayne Art School. Mr. Mc- Bride pointed out that art is an inter- esting as well as a valuable hobby. Carved jewelry, scarfs, photos, and book bindings were used to illustrate his talk. A little later a very interesting talk on Gardening was given by Mrs. John Moring, a member of the Fort Wayne Garden Club. The annual lake party at the end of the school term marked the grand finale for activ- ities of the whole year. The officers during the '34 semester were Berneta Mcintosh, president; Dick North, vice-president; Lou Sheets, secretary; Wayne Brown, treasurer; and Shir- ley Sykes, program chairman. The activities for the spring semester were led by Berneta Mcintosh, president; Jean Kranz, vice-president; Betty Dick- meyer, secretary; Robert Wiehe, treasurer; and Edythc Thornton, program chairman. Miss Ley served as the club adviser during the year. First Row V. Shiflet, B Craig, A. Winter, E. Thorn- ton, Miss Ley. B. Mcintosh, J. Kranz, B, Dickmeyer, E. Rohrer, C. Elliott. R. Chappell.

Such phrases as these were heard in room 178 quite often during the past year. One of the newest addi- tions to the speaking de- partment is that of the Speakers Bureau. It is an association whose purpose is to bring school projects | before the student body in | speech form whenever the student body's co-opera- tion is needed. This is the first year of its organiza- tion, and the members are appointed by Miss Dor- othy Benner, the public speaking teacher. There are at present about forty inembers who give talks and speeches in the home rooms to emphasize certain school entertainments and projects. Heading the list of public speaking contests is the semi-annual extemporaneous contest. Van Perrine scored first in the fall competition against thirty-five other contestants. Those in the finals were Van Per- rine, first; Manuel Rothberg, second; Robert Klopfen- stein, third; John Bremer, Eugene Holtman, and Rich- ard Schannen.

Van Perrine and Robert Klopfenstein rep- resented South Side in the city competition. Next in line is the State Discussion contest, which is sponsored by Indiana University. Frank Mont- gomery, Robert Klopfen- stein, Bernadette Dygert, and Richard Schannen were included among the finalists. The two chosen to represent South Side in the county contest were Richard Schannen and Robert Klopfenstein. Schannen placed first in Wranglers sponsored the local this discussion. The contest. This is the second year that the speech department was asked to have students talk over the radio. Dur- ing National Education Week, Manuel Rothberg spoke over the radio and before luncheon clubs.

AdIer 33 THE TOTEM De-Bate That C t hes Debaters By BETTY DICKMEYER Faithful Wrangler Public speaking activities in secondary schools are a development of very recent years. South Side con- siders them an important part of its curriculum and even has a club dedicated to their pursuit. This club is Wranglers. Wranglers have had their usual successful year under the guidance of their very capable facidty adviser, Miss Dorothy Benner, and a number of out- standing members. The officers for the fall semester were William Hockett, president; Berneta Mcintosh, vice-president; Eleanor Cupp, secretary; Dick North, treasurer; Bob Wilson, sergeant-at-arms; and Dick Helm, assistant sergeant-at-arms. During the spring semester the clubs officers were William Hockett, president; Dave Stegar, vice-president; Eleanor Cupp, secretary; Dorothy Crabill, treasurer; Richard Strasser. sergeant-at-arms; and Paul Randall, assistant sergeant- at-arms. The Inter-Club Congress representative for the year was Richard Strasser. The club began its activities with the Ranglers' Round-Up, which consisted of a wiener bake in Ve- sey's woods. After everyone had eaten to his heart's content and several had fallen in the mud trying to wash their hands in the river, they divided into four groups. Each group made up a stunt and acted it out for the others. A prize was awarded to the group which gave the best stunt. Wranglers' Declamation Contest was the next outstanding event of the fall semester. The five parti- cipants picked out some dramatic dialogue, whether First row: H, Kelsey, M. Focllinger, P.

The students who took part in this are Frank Mont- gomery, the winner; Gwendolyn Horn, and Bob Klop- fenstein, who tied for second place; Lois Ryan, and Dorothea Tobianska. Also a part of the fall semester's program was the club's play. This year's selection was Poetry and Plaster, which was under the direction of a South Side alumnus, Allen Colhns. The members of the cast for the play were Eleanor Cupp, Jean Kranz, Bill Hockett, and Frank Montgomery. In this play Jean played the part of the wife of Frank, who was the writer of dreadful poetry, which he insisted on having his wife continually recite. Other people did not know that Frank wrote the poetry which his wife recited and so thought that it was Jean who was at fault. Eleanor and Jean got together and finally devised a scheme tc show Frank how people disliked these poems. Their scheme worked, and Jean's and Frank's matrimonial liappiness was brought back. February 9 was the date of the annual dance, which was held after the North Side-South Side basketball game. This dance was given in honor of the basketball team. The valentine theme of this dance was carried out in a very attractive and original way. The most outstanding part of the decorations was the crepe pa- per valentine through which one entered the Greeley Room, where the dance was held. About two hundred fifty dancers attended this affair. An attendance prize was awarded to Lloyd Grodrian. The prize for the best dancing couple went to Ruth Stoner and Dick North. Each semester a pot- luck and initiation is held in the school cafeteria. This affair always proves to be a very interesting event. This year it was held on November ■?, and again on February 25. On May 22 the annual banquet was held. The purpose of this banquet was to honor the out- standing speakers of the Wranglers Club and the outstanding speakers of the year at South Side. A very interesting talk was given by the guest speaker. Bill Hockett, the president, served as the toastmaster and enter- tained the guests with many new jokes. This D. Strasser, L. Bonsib, L. 34 THE TOTEM 1797853 banquet was a great success and will remain in the memories of those present for a long time to come. The Wranglers Club sponsored the preliminaries of the State Discussion Contest and the two South Side extemporaneous contests of this year. The contestants of the extemp prepared four topics; and then, an hour before the contest, they were told which one of these topics they were to speak on. Each contestant then gave a five-minute speech and a three-minute rebut- tal. The winner of the preliminaries of the for- mer contest proceeds to the county contest, from which a winner goes to Indiana University to compete for the state title. A number of outstand- ing people have spoken before the club at some of the regular meetings during the year. Glen Fuller, who has spent sev- eral years in China as a missionary, gave an in- teresting talk on the sub- ject. Joe Tucker, an alumnus of Central, spoke on his travels in Central America. Lyle Hodell, a member of the Dime Savings Bank, talked on Standards and Morals at one meeting. Upon another occasion, Eugene Wells, of the Amer- ican Legion, gave his version of the great war. All students who are interested in debating or public speaking are invited to become members of this club. Membership may be obtained by any person in the school who attends three consecutive meetings. The meetings are held twice a month at which time discus- sions of business along with interesting entertainments inake a well-rounded program. A small sum of twenty-five cents is charged all inembers for each semester, but this is very little to pay for all the pleas- ures which the members receive in return. The general knowledge of public speaking which members gain from their association with the club is great. All the meetings are conducted in accordance with parliamentary procedure; consequently, even in- attentive members are bound to soak up some prac- tical knowledge merely from attendance. The various argumentative speeches — namely the fall and the spring extemporaneous contests, in which nearly fifty of the school's outstanding speakers participate, and the Wranglers debate, in which an affirmative and negative team of two each wrangle with each other, have for subjects interesting and timely ques- tions of the present day. The various discussion tion speeches, the orations for the city-wide oratorical contest, banquet speeches, and other specialties, dwell more on speaking rules and form; and members ac- quire from hearing these speeches, or better yet, from participating in them, various points on style which, otherwise they would be without. In this light the Wranglers Club does a great service which is not to First row: M. Kilpatrick, G. Horn, V. Ellinger, B. Mcintosh, B. Hockett, E. Cupp, V. Baumgartner, S. Sykes. W. Bleke.

Nomination speeches follow these, and then the officers who are elected make their ac- ceptance speeches. Often there is opportunity for mak- ing speeches of appreciation or thanks. Humorous speeches are most in evidence at the two potlucks and the banquet. Wranglers Club each year gives recognition to those in South Side who have done outstanding work in public speaking. Honors are given at the Wranglers banquet held in May. Receiving the highest honor the Wranglers can bestow on a fellow member in rec- ognition of his representing the school in interschol- astic competition, four speakers this year received gold S's with pearl settings. Because he successfully par- ticipated in oratorical contests for two years, Manuel Rothberg received this award. Robert Klopfenstein was awarded his pin for his excellence throughout his high school career. He has won in state discussion and extemporaneous contests. Richard Schannen re- ceived this award as winner of the county division of the state discussion contest and general excellence in public speaking. Van Perrine was honored for his winning among other contests the extemp last winter. speeches, including those made by outside personages. He won over competition in school and took second in the state discussion contests, the Wranglers declama- the city in the Peace contest sponsored by Rotary Club. 35 THE TOTEM Sisters of the Skillet Are Home Makers By WILMA BLEKE One of the most interesting clubs at South Side is the Wo-Ho-Ma or the Home Economics Club. It de- rives its name from the phrase, Worthy Home Mak- ers, by using the first two letters of each word. Wo- Ho-Ma has carried out the idea of home economics by using the theme, Wise Buying. This was divided up into two topics, hosiery and cosmetics. During the first semester the club studied the gen- eral subject, The Wise Purchase and Care of Hos- iery. To aid them in their study of hose, the members took a trip to the Knitting Mills, where they were shown the process of knitting silk hosiery. The topic for discussion during the second semester was cosmetics. Several outside speakers were presented to the club. The first was Dr. Duemling, who gave a talk on the type of cosmetics to use. He stated that these should be fresh air, sunshine, and exercise. A representative from Wolf : Dessauer's also gave a demonstration and an informal lecture on When am-l Hon' To Use Cosmetics. The aim of the club is to train young women to be active and efficient leaders in home, school, and com- munity life; to furnish an opportunity through the organization for social life, such as is obtained through its programs and social gatherings; and to promote First Row: Miss Rehorst, F.

Worthy Home Makers That Sew more interest in home economics. On March 7, the club initiated the new members in an impressive and beautiful candle-light ceremony. Two weeks after the initiation a potluck and a theater party were held. Previous to the potluck the members made a few of the curtains which are used for the new stage in the gym. An intricate point systein is used by the club. The secretary keeps the points of the members who do work of service to the club and to the school. The tv.'o members who have the highest number of points receive prizes. During the fall semester the high point holders were Beatrice Schieber and Clara Jeffries, first and second respectively. The officers during the fall semester were Rowena Bevington, president; Catherine Koch, vice-president; Betty Muntzinger, secretary-treasurer; Beatrice Schie- ber, program chairman and pianist. The officers for the spring semester were Violet Garton, president; Faith Clark, vice-president; Dorothea Tobianska, sec- retary-treasurer; Alvena Greber, Inter-Club Congress representativ! and pianist; and Helen Clark, publicity chairman. The faculty adviser for this year is Miss Pearl Rehorst. Points are given for service as a club officer or a representative to the Inter-Club Congress, for regular attendance, serving on pro- grams, punctuality, prompt payment of dties, getting new members, bringing visi- tors, and putting notices in the bulletin. A bonus is awarded for perfect attendance and punctuality. The initiation service is a very impres- sive ceremony. The main characters in the service are the president, vice-presi- dent, secretary, and treasurer. The Spirit of Economics tells the members who are being initiated the purposes and ideals of the club and what belonging to the cluo means. The new members must then re peat this pledge: I pledge my loyalty to the South Side Wo-Ho-Ma Club; I prom- ise to uphold its aims and ideals and to serve my school, my home, my commun- ity, my state and nation, wherever and however I can. Come, light your torches at these fires that you may fulfill your pledge. 36 THE TOTEM Speaking of Yearbooks By MARTHA BAUMGARTNER Circulation Manager The Totem Bill Hockett Paul Reynolds Setting a precedent for future classes to follow, the 1935 seniors reached their desired Totem sub- scription quota on the appointed day, stated the South Side Times in the issue following a successful campaign in which almost 900 subscriptions were ob- tained. This step marked the first of untiring but not futile efforts of those who are responsible for placing thii- book into your hands. After this initial movement, action followed; and with Editor Bill Hockett's constant efforts, progress was rapid. With the circulation campaign well under way, the next action was that of selecting a theme. Since 1935 marked the 300th anniversary of high school education, it was thought quite appropriate to choose Tercentenary Triumph as the thread to guide the class through its labyrinth of memories. Launching the senior picture drive was the next advance in putting out the annual. This campaign was piloted by Lloyd Grodrian, co-busi- ness manager, who ob- tained a total of 399 senior photographs. Next in the cycle of events came the long, hard drive for underclassman pictures. In spite of the fact that the response for such action was at first very slow and needed much enthusiastic pump- ing, Berneta Mcintosh, co-business manager, suc- ceeded in securing fully 600 underclassmen por- traits. The next move, the taking of individual club pictures, took no little time and effort on the part of Lloyd Grodrian, Bill Hockett, and the commercial photographer. Procuring pictures of the faculty was the next effort of the staff, after which many pens began waxing lit- erary to the tune of constant instruction and advice on the part of Susanne Meyer, assignment editor. While most pupils enjoyed a peaceful spring vacation, a group of nearly forty seniors worked laboriously on Totem stories. In the meantime, the staff photographer, Paul Rey- nolds, had busied himself by taking pictures of out- standing occurrences. Much of the success of the Totem is due to Paul for his ever-patient work. Ar- leth Carvin, make-up editor, was in no little way re- sponsible for the clever arranging of the dummies and feature pages. Lois Magley contributed her part by assuming the position of senior editor of this, our prized memory book. The work of copy editing was very successfully done by Dorothy Fathauer, Frederick Prange, and Ellis Lochner. The events following, in which the staff had no hand, were various but very vital — the sending of all pictures to the engravers, sending of stories to printers, careful etching, proof reading, and finally censorship by the adviser. Miss Rowena Harvey. At this point the book is complete — except for the binding. Distribution of books followed, with many of them bearing names in gold. The Totem staff wishes to thank the entire student body and the faculty for their co-operation in making this book a success. First Row: L. Grodrian, S. Meyer, D. Fathauer, A. Carvin, B. Mcintosh, L.

M.'s — Wayne Bender, Ursula Morton, John Bremer New awards on the ceiling, new awards on the wall, new awards on the table, new awards on the floor. And finally there becaine so many new awards that there was not a single solitary place in the Times room to put them. There was one of two things to be done. Either the staff of the South Side Times must quit winning awards, or they must find a place to put them. The industrious scribes chose the latter; so the explana- tion of the new molding in the Times room is that the one hundred and some awards may have a place to rest in peace. Ever since the first issue of the Times was published :n October of 1922, the paper has been a winner. This year proved no exception. In October a group of six- teen trooped down to Franklin College at Franklin, Indiana, to the Indiana High School Press Association Convention. Those who attended the convention are Bill Hockett, Ursula Morton, Lloyd Grodrian, Bryce Minier, Manuel Rothberg, Louis Bonsib, Dick Helm, Margie Killen, Ann Abbett, Anna Brumbaugh, John Bremer, John Bex, Wayne Bender, Pauline CrabiU, Helen Kelsey, and Rosemary Chappell. Ann Abbett was elected secretary to the I. H. S. P. A. She is the first South Side student to hold an office in this organization. The honors that the Times received there are All-Indiana Superior rating, the highest ob- tainable, and ten first places in specialized contests. At the Columbia Scholastic Press Association convention held in New York City in March, the Times again won highest honors of Medalist. Those who jour- neyed to New York to gain more journalistic wisdom are Ann Ab- bett, Louis Bonsib, Anna Brum- baugh, Ursula Morton, Alma Nitzsche, and Bryce Minier. Quill and Scroll, international Contest Winners: Dick honorary society for high school John Bremer The State Fair proclaims the Times a State winner again. journalists, awarded the Times International Su- perior. The Times was 98 per cent perfect, gaining 980 out of a possible 1,000 points. The award given by Sigma Delta Chi at the State Fair is that of Best in Indiana. The Times also an- nexed this honor. The National Scholastic Press Association also awarded the Times the highest possible, All Amer- ican. The fall semester staff was headed by Ursula Mor- ton, general manager. Others were: managing editors, John Bremer and Wayne Bender; editor, Edythe Thornton; news editor, Virginia Vesey; copy editors, Ann Abbett, Alma Nitzsche; sports editor, Dick Helm; make-up editor. Bob Storm; business manager, Man- uel Rothberg; circulation manager, Rosemary Chap- pell; advertising managers, Anna Brumbaugh and John Bex; and credit manager, Charlene Davis. It was this staff that published a sixteen-page paper during American Education Week and Tiny Times for Back-to-School Night. The circulation for this semester was the largest since pre-depression days. Wayne Bender, John Bremer, and Louis Bonsib, a junior, were general managers for the spring seinester, John and Wayne were general managers for eight weeks each and Louis for the re- maining four weeks. The other major staff members were: man- • « g' g editor, Alma Nitzsche; edi- i V WVi « '•°' ' Rosemary Chappell; news M''' I I M editor, Edythe Thornton; copy if editors. Bob Storm and Jo Anne Smith; business manager, Bryce Minier; circulation manager, Lois Magley; advertising managers, John Bex and Margie Killen; and credit manager, Charlene Davis. This staff published a Tercen- tenary issue that was distributed on the night of South Side's third annual exhibition. About three Helm, JoAnn Jim Sweet. 38 THE TOTEM thousand five hundred copies of this issue were given away. Other journahstic honors were won by students of South Side. Dick Hehn was awarded second place in a sports contest conducted by Quill and Scroll. In this same series of contests, Jim Sweet won third in head-line writing; and John Bremer won honorable mention in current events, as did John Be.x in adver- tising. Sweet won a bronze medal from C. S. P. A. for writing the best story on the convention publicity. A magazine article written by Ursula Morton was published in the School Press Review. The South Side Times again set a precedent. The paper sponsored a series of weekly radio broadcasts during the winter months. Every Monday evening at 7:30 a well-balanced program dealing with South Side High School and its organizations was presented over station WGL. This year, as during ail the Times successful past, it has had that adviser of advisers, Miss Rowena Har- vey. Without her guidance it is doubtful what the Times would have been or would be now. The staff started out strong last September by pub- lishing a six-page issue on the first day of school. This issue, and the one following two days later, sup- plied the new and old students with directions for starting out the year. Interesting happenings during the summer were also set forth. On the first day of November a sixteen-page anni- versary issue, besides celebrating the thirteenth year of the Times' existence, was crammed full of valuable information on American education, celebrating National Education Week. Statistics on edu- cation, shown by graphs; cartoons portraying the relation of education to crime; and a map of the United States showing the school attendance were features in this is- sue. Students taking civics aided the staff by writing, under the direc- tion of Mr. Wilburn Wil- son, social science teach- er, articles on the duties of various governmental officials. Our principal, Mr. R. Nelson Snider, and the Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Merle J. Abbett, proclaimed this issue the finest they had ever seen. Several six-page issues were published at the start of the new term in January. The sport pages were full of interesting articles on the success of the Archer basketball team. In a great climax of the net season the papers of the three Fort Wayne high schools co-operated to put out a sixteen-page Tournament News. Informa- tion on each of the fifteen teams was collected to give the sport fans all the news on their favorites. Times staff members visited four visiting schools to find out about their institutions and teams. The papers were sold at the sectional tourney and at the various schools. An eight-page regional issue of the Times wished the Archers good-luck in the tourney at Huntington. The April Dust-Storm, April Fool issue of the Times, published without faculty supervision, shocked teachers and students alike. Printed on gaudy-colored paper, this edition was full of fake stories on mem- bers of the faculty and student body. The Tercentenary issue traced the history of Ameri- can secondary education from the founding of the Boston Latin School in 1635 to our modern education oi today. A striking picture of President Roosevelt with his message to the high school teachers and stu- dents greeted the eyes of the readers of this issue. It also contained a variety of information concern- ing educational progress in Fort Wayne and the growth of South Side, in which early experiences were recalled by several veteran teachers. The progress in high school journalism was well covered by articles on the Fort Wayne School Press and the part taken by school papers in national events. As a fitting climax to this successful year, the Senior issue was distributed during the final week of school. The issue was published entirely by seniors. Storm, J. Bex, B. Minier. M. K.Uen, C.

I'd like to have a piece of that devil's food 'Br the Such cake. Dring on the ice cream were the cries heard at the first 1500 Club banquet this year. Since its beginning, pot- lucks have been highlights among the pro- grams of this organization. A legend has passed down the years that one Bud Beck, with Miss Rowena Harvey, faculty adviser of the publications, devised a plan whereby those who did better-than- average work on the Times and Totem staffs would be rewarded for their efforts.

The pin decided upon resembled in shape a linotype matrix crossed by a quill. Indeed, they like their potlucks, the members of the 1500 Club. One Novem- ber evening the members trouped into room 18 with their food, pushed the desks aside, and prepared the victuals. The group was entertained by several amusing accounts of happenings at the In- diana High School Press Association Con- vention at Franklin, Indiana, which sev- eral Times and Totem members attended. On another occasion the members were entertained by a talk by Mrs. Vivian Crates Logan, former general manager. Various types of music topped off the feast. The 1500 Club chose as its president, Ursula Morton . Bill Hockett was selected as her right-hand man, and Bryce Minier was given the job of keeping the records and guarding the treasury. The club has grown steadily since its founding in 1925, now having nearly fifty members. Ursula Morton, Bryce Minier, Wayne Bender, Louis Bonsib, John Bre- mer, Bill Hockett, Rosemary Chappell, and John Bex have earned their gold- jeweled pins. Others who have earned awards are Ann Abbctt, Dorothy Aldridge, Charles Baumgartner, Martha Baumgartner, Anna Brumbaugh, Norinan Buck, Arleth Carvin, 40 THE TOTEM Times Room in action Ina Claire Chappell, Bonsil ene Craig, Pauline Crabill, Charlene Davis, John Dutterer, Vera Ellinger, Mil- dred Foellinger, Ruth Garrison, Lloyd Grodrian, June Haeger, Aletha Hatfield, Dick Helm, Geraldine Hen- line, Gvven Hern, Margie KiUen, Emily Lepper, Bern- eta Mclnfosh, Lois Magley, Maxine Mariotte, George Ann Martin, Lorraine Meyer, Frank Montgomery, Alma Nitzsche, Sam Rea, Paul Reynolds, Jo Anne Smith, Bob Storm, Jim Sweet, Shirley Sykes, Virginia Vesey, Marie Wolf, Harriet Yapp, and Edythe Thornton. While some were content to rest on their laurels at home, others reached out for greater honors. LJrsula Morton wrote an article for the School Press Review on The Times Radio Hour. Virginia Vesey was hon- ored with two first-place awards in specialized writing. Quill and Scroll contests attracted several journalists. Dick Helm won second place in the East Central States division for sports writing. Jim Sweet brought honor to the Times with his prize-winning news story on the Columbia Scholastic Press Association conven- tion. Jim also took third place in the Quill and Scroll headline-writing contest for the East Central States. John Bex received honorable mention in the advertising contest and John Bremer, in cur rent news. The highest honor which can come to a high school journalist was bestowed this year on twenty- one graduating seniors. Membership to Quill and Scroll, International Honorary Society for High School Journalists, was awarded to John Bremer, Charles Baumgartner, Martha Baumgartner, Suz- anne Meyer, Arleth Carvin, Charlene Dav;s, Aletha Hatfield, Lloyd Grodrian, Gerry Henline, Ruth Jones, Mary Snider, Dorothea Nance, Bill Hockett. Dorothy Fathauer, Alma Nitzsche, Mar- gie Killen, Berneta Mcintosh, Edythe Thornton, Lois Magley, Wayne Bender, and Ursula Morton. The constitution of the local group of this so- ciety requires that members must be chosen from high school students who meet the following requirements: 1. They must be in the last half of their senior year. |t 2. They must be in the upper third of their class in general scholastic standing at the time of their election. 3. They must have done superior work in some phase of journalistic or creative endeavor. 4. They must be recommended by the faculty adviser. 5. They must be approved by the national sec- retary-treasurer. Miss Harvey entertained the Quill and Scroll members at a banquet in the middle of May. The Quill and Scroll Society has over eight hundred chapters located in every state of the Union, Hawaii, England, China, British Hon- duras, and Alaska. Wearing the badge of this society are over twelve thousand young journalists from schools outstanding in the quality of their publication work. The society was organized in 1926 by a group of high school supervisors for the purpose of rewarding students for outstanding work in jour- nalism. With their membership, the South Side mem- bers will receive the Quill and Scroll, the official maga- zine of the organization, of which Miss Harvey is an associate editor.

The subject of drama, though new, has attained an estabhshed position in the curricula of many of our modern high schools, for it has, year by year, been arousing interest and gaining prestige. In South Side tliere are classes in dramatics for those who are inter- ested. There is also an extra-curricular organization, the Student Players Club. The S. P. C. is a city-wide organization which was founded in 1923 and has since been under the advisership of Miss Marjorie Suter. First row: E. Lochner, A. Abbect, C. Hart, M. Mariotte, G. Horn, J. Bex, K.

Rose, B. Craig, D. Golden, S, Knudson, J. Creighton, S. Sykes, W. Bleke, R. Schannen, J. Roih, C. Chenoweth, E. Rohrei, V. Vesey, V. Shiflet. The purpose of the Student Players Club is to create an active interest in dramatics among the mem- bers and to promote good will between the city high schools. The gatherings and activities all tend to ap- peal to the students' esthetic and social tastes. A separate organization exists in each of the three I'ort Wayne secondary schools, but all three are affilia- ted with each other. Joint gatherings are intended to bring the club members together to form a better re- lationship between each and every one embraced by the organization. Aspirants for dramatic advancement wishing to be- come Student Players are required to have maintained a good scholarship average and to have taken one semester in a drama class. Drama classes are held on Mondays and Fridays to aid students in their dramatic ambitions. The three high school clubs hold joint initiations for the newcomers in January and June. The regular club meetings are held on Fridays, once a month; and the programs consist of short plays oi some other entertainment of dramatic interest. In March the club presented two one-act plays be- fore the student body with a cast of seniors. Although the Senior Play in April was not sponsored by the group, most of the talent 'n the production was fur- nished by Student Play- ers, and the play was di- rected by the club's ad- viser. Miss Marjorie Suter. On Recognition Day gold D's, the highest award in dramatics, are awarded to distinguished members of the club. These are given on the basis of a point system. The officers at the helm of the good ship S.P.C. for the fall semester were: Robert Blomker, presi- dent; Margaret Murphy, vice - president; Clarice Fyock, secretary - treasur- er; and Elgain Stump, Inter-Club Congress rep- resentative. Those who presided during the spring term are Clayton Kilpatrick, president; Bet- ty Erick, vice-president; Anna Brumbaugh, secre- tary-treasurer; and Ger- aldine Henline, Inter- Club Congress representative. Dramatics has become one of the outstanding activi- ties in school life. The S. P. C. was organized to satisfy the students who desired knowledge in the art cf Thalia. The real interest of drama devotees has been shown by their active participation in play pro- ductions. The first semester after its organization in South Side, the Student Players produced a play entitled Neighbors by Zona Gale. Several plays were pre- sented during the intervening years, and this year two productions were given. All these led up to the big e 'ent of the year, the Senior Play. Good old S. P. C; so may it ever be! 42 THE TOTEM Metre Is Their Meat By LOIS MAGLEY In 1925, a group of underclassmen girls organized a club under the direction of Miss Esary for the pur- pose of encouraging students to write poetry. Any girl who wished to become a member was required to write at least fifty lines of ballad verse. The club was given the name Meterites because its members were writers of iTieter. Miss Susen Peck became faculty adviser of the club in 1929. To increase the membership of the organiza- tion, which at that time numbered nine, its activities were enlarged to include the study of all kinds of good literature. All freshmen and sophomore girls with grades of B or above in English are now eligible for membership. The club enrollment has increased stead- ily, and at present it has about thirty-five members. During the fall semester of 1934, the group studied the lives of famous women, including those of Pavlova, Madam Scheumann-Heink, Marian Talley, Jane Aus- ten, George Elliott, Dorothy Canfield, and Kathleen First Row: M.

Outstanding events in the fall calendar were the potluck, which was held November 27 in the cafeteria, and the theater party at which time the group saw Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch. Offi- cers for this semester were: Elinor White, president; Marjorie Turner, vice-president; Grace Nelson, sec- retary; and Beatrice Fudge, treasurer. Stamp Collectors By DOROTHEA NANCE The Philatelic Society is one of the most recently organized and successful clubs in South Side. The originality of the club is shown by its publishing of the South Side Stamp Script — the first club paper at South Side. Marshall Rosenthal, the founder of the publica- tion, guided it through the first semester of the school year and was aided by Evelyn Ertel, news editor. Dur- ing the spring semester John Bex was general manager, and Evelyn Ertel was again news editor. The club was equally original in its monthly pro- grams. At the Halloween party slides demonstrat- ing various stamps of European countries were shown. Mr. Raymond Fudge gave a talk on Philately and Postal Services. Mr. Wilbur Shott gave a talk at another meeting. The club quartet consisting of Bob Blomker, John Bex, Clayton Kilpatrick, and Bob Adams sang at several meetings. There was also an auction given, with John Bex as auctioneer. The officers for the fall semester were: Bob Adams, president; Evelyn Ertel, vice-president; Marshall Ros- enthal, secretary; Dick Kellogg, treasurer; Dorothy First Row: M. Bell, F. Rohrer, A. Tremper, E. Lep- per, M. Persing, D. Aldridge. Second Row: J. Jackson, E. Holtman, Miss Van Gorder, E. Ertel, D. Kiene, D. Nance. Third Row: H. Miller, N. Logue, B. Archer, E. Brown, J. Brinkman, M. Crago. Fourth Row: J. Be.x, B. Blomker, C. Kilpatrick, D. Kellogg, J. Thackery. Canada, sergeant-at-arms; and Clayton Kilpatrick, Inter-Club Congress delegate. The officers for the spring semester were: Bob Blomker, president; Jane Brinktnan, vice-president; Clayton Kilpatrick, secre- tary; Jane Loomis, treasurer; John Thackery, sergeant- at-arms; and Thelma Kuttler, Inter-Club Congress representative. 43 THE TOTEM 1 ■■ t Wmm HK . HBJ H L 0''' ' 'jAd 3 K O The Band Box By PAUL RANDALL He Plays First Fiddle Music was not given a place in the secondary schools until the beginning of the twentieth cen- tury, but South Side had a music department in its curriculum since the erection of the building. Now, practically every assembly and the majority of club meetings receive some benefits from the music department. The first, busiest, and largest organization is the band; its membership at this time totals eighty- five. It has served with the cheer leaders as our main source of pep at the pep sessions and cer- tainly has spurred the basketball and football teams on to victory many times. Second, and a very close second, is the orchestra. Next in the department is a new organization which has proven more than popular — the harp ensemble, out ot which has grown the harp and vocal group. Some smaller organizations are the Little Sym- phony, which has played for shows and for the radio broadcasting; the small concert ba nd, which was also used in the broadcasts; the double mixed quartet, a new organization this year; the string quartet; and the brass trio. The department was practically swamped with requests from the outside for its services this year, and its co-operation was felt throughout Fort Wayne. The first outside activity was the perform- Left page, top to bottom: Minstrel entertainers, Max- ine Morton, Georgianna Jones, Fred Beelby, and Betty Wainwright; Mr. Wainwright and Betty Peters, his sec- retary; The Lollypop Parade in the Minstrel Show; orchestra.

THE TOTEM ance of the band, orchestra, harp sextet, and harp and vocal group at the annual teachers' convention, Octo- ber 18 and 19, at the Shrine Auditorium. Another project that took a lot of extra time was the series of broadcasts that lasted ten weeks, begin- ning October 15. The music for every program was furnished by this department. Several soloists were heard, besides various small groups. Many programs featured the band, orchestra, and Glee Clubs. One of the greatest undertakings the department tackled was that of the Friars' Club Revue. The entire production was under the direction of Mr. Wainwright, and the Little Symphony orchestra accompanied all songs and dances. The profits of the show were shared by our department. The annual Minstrel Show was very successful and accomplished its main purpose, to pay for the build- ing of our new stage. The stage was erected through the efforts of two extra carpenters, the school janitors and electricians, boys in the department, and Mr. Wainwright. Plantation Minstrels was given March 21 and 22 and consisted of two main _ _ parts, the regular minstrel first, then the olio. The end men were Jack Bee- mer. Bob Klopfenstein, Fred Beelby, Frank Montgomery, Don Bleeke, and Paul Randall. There were ten solos, several fine dance specialties, music by the chorus, and also a program by Bob Wedertz, the magician. The music department has given this year, much to the approval of the school, a series of monthly musical pro- grams at assemblies, in which every type of music was presented. They were, from all indications, very success- ful; the profit per program was from fifty to sixty dollars. The money was used to defray all band and orchestra expenses. In the first concert, October 5, the band presented a very interesting pro- gram. As an outside feature. Bob Wed- ertz, a graduate of South Side, gave a twenty-minute sleight-of-hand perform- ance. The second program was on November 2. It was a different type. The orchestra supplied most of th music. The outstanding selection was the Unfinished Symphony by Schu- bert. The remainder of the program consisted of a piano duet by Reginald Gerig and Kathleen Witmer, two selec- tions by the newly organized harp and vocal ensemble, and the Blue Danube Waltz, sung by the entire chorus with orchestral accompaniment. The outside feature was Luella Feiertag, eminent concert soprano. The third concert was on December 7. Most of the program was provided by the Defiance High School A Cappella Choir, from Defiance, Ohio. The band played four selections at the close of the program. The fourth band concert was on January 25. Mr. Edward Clark from the Tom Berry Music Company played several accordian selections. The fifth program was on February 25. The fea- ture of this program was singing by the North Side A Cappella Choir and male quartet. The last program was presented on May 13. In this program every member of the department participated, either in the band, orchestra, or Glee Clubs.. Since Mr. Wainwright has come to South Side, many new instruments have been added to the music department equipment. Other improvements have also been made. The walls in the music rooms were refinished with sound-absorbing boards, which make it possible to broadcast radio programs from South Side. New music cabinets were built; new curtains were put up; a platform for the convenience of the Glee Clubs was erected; and a new partition was put in. 45 City Champs Ca Take It By SAM REA Sports Commentator Under the tutelage of Lundy Welborn, South Side's Archers played through a fair season of four wins, three losses, and two ties. They retained their city title, but lost the North Eastern Indiana Conference trophy to Decatur. The Archers conquered BlufFton, Peru, Central Catholic, and North Side, but fell before Mishawaka, Central, and Woodward of Toledo. Decatur and Culver were held to scoreless ties. The Archers' playing was characterized by a strong defense and a weak offense. Their line held other teams to few points, but the backfield was too slow for much scoring. Close games resulted. Another characteristic of their playing was fine kicking. Good punting by George featured every game. He came through with long boots when they were most needed. Ed Ginn, rated by a great kicking coach as one of the best kicking prospects he has ever seen, displayed much of his talent with fine drop kicking. Lundy had several experienced men to form the nucleus of the 1934 edition of the Archers. Ostermeyer, Roop, Straley, Ellenwood, George, Jackson, and Nelson were linemen left from the 1933 squad. They dispelled all worries about a strong forward wall. Simon, Snyder, Lee, Lenz, Kessler, Ginn, and Willson were old backfield men who were available. Lundy also found several promising newcomers for the Archers. Lohman, a senior, reported for the squad and soon landed a varsity berth. Parmalee, Leitz, Eshcoff, Nye, and Fowler were other formerly inexperienced men who saw much action during the season. After several weeks of practicing, the Archers opened their season with a 14-0 victory over BlufFton on the South Side gridiron. A deluge of rain hampered scoring, but South Side scored in the first and last quarters for their margin of victory. The next Saturday South Side missed numerous opportunities to score; and, as a result, finished the game in a scoreless tie with Decatur. The Archers dropped a 13-7 decision to Mishawaka.

Their lone marker was made on a pass from Simon to George, which culminated an 80-yard march. In a night game at Peru, South Side found the circus city eleven easy pick- ing, for they won 26-6. An 80-yard run by Lohman and nice gains by Lee featured the game. Their third road trip of the season took the Archers to Culver for a game with the soldiers, which resulted in another scoreless tie. The next week South Side returned home for a city series game with Cen- tral Catholic, which had beaten Central two weeks before. The Green line featured in the game when they blocked a pass and fell on it for a touchdown. They also displayed great defensive play. A sensational catch by Jackson, good kicking by George, plunging by Lenz, and passing by Simon added another touchdown to South Side's margin of victory. The final score was 13-0. Ed Ginn's educated toe, George's hard punts, EUenwood's blocked punts, and Bob Lohman's great defensive play proved to be too much for the Redskins from North Side. The Archers clinched the city championship with a 10-6 victory over the Northerners. North Side's touchdown was made on a 70-yard end run by Roger Poorman. In a home game Woodward of Toledo caught South Side's second string lineup napping and made two touchdowns in the first minute of play. Lundy rushed in the varsity, which played the Toledo boys on even terms. In the last quarter Woodward again scored twice on the Archer reserves, who had been put back in the lineup. South Side closed its season by bowing to Central's Tigers in a game at the North Side stadium, 19-0. This game evened the series at six games apiece and left the Archers waiting iinpatiently for another year and another Central game to roll around. As a fitting conclusion to the season, three of South Side's players were placed on the all-city team. George, EUenwood, and Simon were the fellows picked for this mythical squad, which is chosen by the coaches and sports writers of the city. Top: The squad. Side, top to bottom: Kye Trout, Tom Conway, Fred Lenz, and the daily knee-bend exercise. Bottom, left to right: Dorwan KessUr, John Eshcoff, Earl Roop, and Gene Jackson. Courting Victory ■H ooty Hall, King Trophy Winner The South Side Archers, under the coaching of Jake Mc- Clure, ended one of the most successful seasons they have ever had when they turned in a record of sixteen wins and four losses. The Archers ivere not satisfied with this record; so they went ahead to annex the Sectional crown for the second year in succession. This year's team was characterized by the scoring punch and strong defense shown in its various games. The team was the tallest in several years. The Archers were fortunate in having nine members of the '34 team returning. Hilgeman, Symonds, Hall, Ginn, Nelson, George, EUenwood, Lohse, and Close were the experi- enced members of this year's squad. Jackson, a senior, reported for practice and soon landed a varsity post. After several weeks of preparation the Archers hit a six-game winning streak, during which time a strange type of game was played. The Archers went to Bluff- ton, and at the half of the varsity game the score stood 18-9 against them. In a great second-half rally the Archers outscored Bluffton 25-5 and, as a result, won by the score of 34-23. In the seventh game the Archers played their poorest game of the season, losing by the score of 22- 25 to Central Catholic. The best-played game of the season was the 27-16 victory over Decatur. One of the hardest-fought and most exciting games witnessed by Fort Wayne fans this year was the South Side- North Side game, in which South Side was victorious by the score of 18-13. Paul Lohse's consistency at the By GENE JACKSON Varsity Guard foul circle was greatly responsible for the victory. A week later South Side had its hottest hitting streak, missing very few shots for a very good percentage. Brower George hit the greatest percentage of shots, ?nd the final score was 44-19 in South Side's favor. The best defensive game played by the Archers was at Hartford City. They defeated the Airedales by the ridiculous score of 32-5. In the roughest game of the season the Macmen defeated Garrett under the leadership of Gene Jackson and Brower George. The final score was 31-20. In the last game of the season Wiggles Hilgeman came through with one of his sensational shots from the center of the floor, to defeat Muncie in the last twenty seconds by the score of 19-18. With the regular schedule the team began to prepare for the Sectional tournament, for which South Side was host. The ten men selected for the tournament were Bob Nelson, Brower George, Gene Jackson, Bob Symonds, Jim Hilgeman, Joe Close, Hooty Hall, Jim EUenwood, Ed Ginn, and Paul Lohse. It seems that the South Side Archers had as their slogan at the Sectional tournament this year You can't beat the same team three times in succession. Consid- erable excitement was caused by the fact that South Side had to play Lafayette Central in the second round of the tournament. There was a sort of legend con- nected with this game. Two years ago Lafayette Cen- tral beat Central of this city decisively, and last year Lafayette Central defeated North Side. This year, when it was announced that South Side had to play Lafayette Central to get to the finals, many fans be- lieved that there was a possibility that South Side would bt defeated by this small but very fast team. Left to Upper Right: Jim EUenwood, Hooty Hall, Brower George, Fred Ostermeyer, Paul Lohse, Bob Nelson, Bob Symonds, Wiggles Hilgeman, Bud Lee, Joe Close, Eugene Jackson, Ed Ginn. But, since the Archers had taken the slogan stated above, their determina- tion overcame their superstition; and they defeated Lafayette Central by a score of 36-1 1 . In the first round of the tournament the Archers experienced great diffi- culty in downing Elmhurst by the score of 32-23. In the last game of the Sectional South Side proceeded to live up to the slogan they had adopted and defeated Central before a capacity crowd of 3,000 by the score of 36-23, with Jackson and Nelson leading the scoring with twelve and ten points respectively. Gene Jackson, Bob Nelson, and Brower George were named members of the All-Sectional first team, while Hilgeman and Symonds were named members of the All-Sectional second team. For the first time in thirteen years, the Regional tournament was held at Huntington. The Archers were pre-tourney favorites but were defeated. The Archers, led by Bob Symonds, who scored fourteen points, defeated Pennville by the score o! 38-16. Berne, overcoming great obstacles in the second half, defeated Roanoke by the score of 18-16. In the evening be- fore a capacity crowd of 4,250 people the Archers were defeated by Berne The final score was 23-18. Brower George and Gene Jackson, South Side's two guards, made the All-Regional team, while Nelson and Hilge- man made the All-Regional second squad. Ed Ginn, last year's winner of the King Trophy, which is given for the best sportsmanship, was succeeded this year by Hooty Hall. The reserve team under the tutelage of Assistant Coach Bill Geyer en- joyed a very successful season, winning fourteen games and losing four. The varsity reserves consisted of Bill Epmeier, Carl Hall, John Hines, Don Reichart, Earl Cramer, Jack Eiser, Charlie Geyer, and Bill Stewart. The freshman material this year is the best that the Greenwavelets have had for a long time. Carl Hall, who played the best as an offensive player, and John Hines, who carried the guarding responsibilities, were the two outstanding freshmen. Don Reichart, a sophomore, was also outstanding as a sharpshooter. Bill Epmeier, a junior who was handicapped by a badly sprained ankle for a greater part of the season, turned in a good performance at guard and center. The prospects for the 1935-36 team look very good with Bud Lee, Jim Eilenwood, Joe Close, and Fred Ostermeyer returning from this year's varsity. Very capable material will be sent up from this year's reserve team, among them being Carl Hall, Don Reichert, Bill Epmeier, John Hines, and Charlie Geyer. The spring practice is another means by which Coach Jake McClure de- veloped some good material. In the spring months between the state tour- ney and the end of the term, Mac put his prospects through several workouts. These games gave him a line on his next year's team. The spring netters scrimmaged against graduating varsity men, good intramural teams, or fellows from their own group. I i Star Dust By SAM REA The Archer cinder-pounders of 1935 were comparatively weak. Hard hit by graduation, Lundy Welborn worked hard with over one hundred candidates. Although weak this year, prospects for the next two years are bright, since most of the hundred are promising freshmen and sophomores. The team this year was built around Dorwan Kessler, Ed Leitz, and Merl Norris. Fred Ostermeyer, John Eshcoff, Chuck Stone, Ed Kruse, and Bob Weimer were the supporting cast. Ed Leitz proved to b the hardest worker on the squad. Last year his best effort in the shot-put was about thirty-eight feet. By hard work Ed raised this figure to forty-one feet. This throw broke Herb Banet's old school record of thirty-nine feet, eight inches. Kessler proved to be a versatile runner Kess has been a good quarter-miler, but he can also shew his heels to opponents in the mile. In his first competitive mile, he outsprinted Dixie, Central's veteran, to win in the last fifty yards. Merl Norris, a middle-distance man, turned m some fine work in the 440 and 880. He proved to be a consistent point-winner in both of these events. He also ran on the mile relay team. At Laporte Norris broke the field record for the half mile.

Several strong teams were entered in the meet, but the Archer medley relay team took a second place. South Side journeyed to Indianapolis for the state indoor meet on the next Saturday. Norris, Kessler, Schoenefeldt, and Feichter came home sporting gold medals won in the medley event. On April 13, South Side entertained Central, Bluflton, and some other county teams at an invitational meet at the home field. The Archers ran and jumped their way to what seemed a victory, but the final score read: Central, 48 3-5; South Side 47 4-5. Laporte nosed the Green thinly-clads by seven points in their invitational meet on the next Saturday. On April 27, Kokomo entertained the best teams in the state at their field. The competition was too tough for South Side's, weak squad, and no scoring was done by the Archers. THE TOTEM They Have Their Points By GORDON STRALEY President S S S S l ..

Under the very capable guidance of A. Verne Flint, faculty adviser, the club had a better year than it has had for a long time. The officers were Gordon Straley, president; Brower George, vice-president; and Harrison Simon, secretary-treasurer. Bob Willson was secretary-treas- urer for the first semester; but, due to his moving to California in January, another officer had to be chosen. The 1935 edition of the Lettermen's Club boasts of twenty-six full-fledged members, who have earned their letters through much hard work and fun on the grid- iron, hardwood, or cinder path. These members have engaged in various activities outside their sports throughout the year. Two potlucks were held, one in March, and another in May. These potlucks are getting to be annual affairs with the lettermen. Every- one had too much to eat at the first potluck, including Bob Nulf, coach at North Side, who was the speaker. The annual Lettermen's banquet, in which the fac- ulty and all the lettermen took part, was held in April. The biggest affair of the year, however, was the annual dance, which was held in the Greeley Room and ap- propriately named The Wimpy Wiggle. Hamburg- ers and chocolate milk were served as a stimulant for the dancers. The Greeley Room was decorated with cartoons drawn from the Popeye comic strip. The South Side Lettermen's Club lived up to its reputation of being one of South Side's most useful clubs, for they planted a tree on the northeast corner of the school lawn. Large block numbers were also made for the scoreboard on the football field. Flashing Racquets 'By GENE JACKSON Under the supervision of Mr. Harold Wmdmiller, this year's varsity tennis team enjoyed a successful season. The team was extremely fortunate this year, having five varsity players return from last year's Left to right: Gene Jackson, Joe Close, Bob Schelper, and BUI Kozma squad. Last year was the first time in three years that there was such a team. The members of the squad. Bob Schelper, Joe Close, Leo Nolan, Norman Buck, and Gene Jackson, won three matches and lost two by very small margins, having won from Concordia on two different occasions and from C entral Catholic once and lost the Central game and conference tilt, ence tilt. This year's squad consisted of the veterans of last season and three new members — Bob Mertens. Lee Chalfant, and Bob Craig. Matches were scheduled with BlufFton, Decatur, Central Catholic, Concordia, and Central. Two tilts were played with each of the two latter teams. Another sport which has gained popularity in the past few years is golf. This year's team consists of two veterans. Bob Lohman and Saiti Rea, and two new members. Bob Fowler and John Schmidt. The boys have had a very successful season, defeating Huntington, Bluff- ton, Elmhurst, Marion, and eighteen other teams in the Syracuse invita- tional match which was held at the South Shore golf course at Wawasee. The team is under the general su- pervision of Mr. Jake McClure. 51 Intramural Participants By JOHN DUTTERER Intramural Letterman Left to right: Squad leaders, report! Feichter and Duwald. The boys hold a pose. Circle: A very popular sport is tag football. At South Side intramural activities, under the direc- tion of Louis Briner, play a large part. The activities include golf, tennis, tag football, boxing, wrestling, bowling, and others. Points, which count toward an intramural letter, are given for participation in these sports. Many sports were on the fall intramural schedule. Tag football was the first. Eleven teams competed in this game. At the conclusion of the season of tag football, cross-country, tennis, and golf followed in rapid succession. Roy Ewing, Richard Kaiser, and Bob Klotz were winners in cross-country; Herman Spill- ner and Victor Seewald won the tennis crowns; and Harold Schmidt became the golf king. Then the winter sports followed. Handball and a bowling tournament, held at Scott's alleys, were popu- lar. But the most popular sport was basketball, with forty-six teams participating. Miller and Nussbaum were the members of the best handball team. Wallace Bartels won the bowling tournament.

By ELEANOR CUPP Letter Girl The Girls' Athletic Association is an organization lormed for the purpose of interesting South Side girls in athletics. Its success in the past is shown by the fact that the membership has increased from 100 members to 300. Miss Florence Pickard was the first athletic adviser at South Side. She originated the first varsity basket- ball team in 1922. She was replaced by Miss Mildred Hadsell, who was succeeded by our own Miss Alice Patterson. The G. A. A. grew to such an enormous size that in 1930 an assistant instructor. Miss Jean Albert, was obtained. She was succeeded by Miss Gretchen Smith, who still remains faithful to the Archer camp. The G. A. A. was organized on Wednesday, Jan- uary 13, 1926. A constitution was drawn up by a com- mittee composed of Miss Patterson and a representa- tive of each class. Varsity basketball was dropped, and intramural sports were then introduced. They in- cluded hockey, volleyball, basketball, baseball, and tennis. Later, speedball, tumbling, hiking, swimming, and skating were added to the activities of the girl athletes. The lavy of this organization is the law of sports- manship. From this law, we learn to be fair, generous, and honorable. We learn to treat our opponents and officials with courtesy. Another principle of this law is: Play for the fun of the game and the team's glory. To be true to this code one must be true to the highest ideals. In the fall of 1934 tennis was the prominent activity of the girls. Margaret Ruhl, sophomore champ, de- feated Sue Cameron, senior champ; Betty Eisenacker, freshman champ, defeated Dorothy Crabill, junior champ. The queen of tennis was crowned when Mar- garet Ruhl defeated Betty Eisenacker. The doubles championship was captured by the contestants repre- senting the freshman class, Mary Ellen Blauvelt and Charlotte Kriinmel. Barbara Raymond's freshman team succeeded in capturing the title of speedball champions, and the hockey championship was won by Sue Cameron's senior team. The frosh volleyball tournament was won by Betty Eisenacker's team, and the upperclass- man tournament by Leona Menze's team. In the winter everyone's interest was focused on basketball, the king of sports. The freshman tourney was won by Betty Eisenacker's team. Florence Mc- Keon's senior team and Winifred Locker's sophomore team tied for the upperclassman honors. The honor tourney title was captured by the juniors. The mem- bers of the winning team were Betty Rison, captain, Mary Martha Hobrock, Marjorie Hower, Joyce Brett, Margaret Dickmeyer, Mary Jane Redding, Marjorie 54 THE TOTEM Cartwright, Delores Mil- ler, Doris Rindchen, Doris Figel, RoseAnne Certia, and Jeanette Braun. Baseball, track, and tumbling again drew a large turnout. This year the Associa- tion gave a very enjoy- able Halloween party. Prizes were awarded those having the most original, the prettiest, and the funniest cos- tumes. The prize for originality was awarded to Ruth Phipps as Marv with her lamb. Phyllis Roller won the prize for the funniest costume. Jacqueline Hench and Virginia MacNamara en- tertained by presenting several unusual dances. They were accompanied by Marjorie Glass and Georgianna Jane Jones. Marjorie Dancer and Betty Medaris sang sev- eral popular songs. So- cial dancing was enjoyed by all with Pat Tarney as pianist. Taffy apples and popcorn were then served. Another unusual fea- ture presented by the G. A. A. this year was the Baby Picture contest. A committee consisting of Martha Baumgartner, Eleanor Cupp, Alice Mae Seibold, Marjorie Cart- wright, Sue Wallace, and Bobbie Raymond were in charge of the affair. Each person who attend- ed the show was per- mitted one vote for the best picture. Prizes con- sisting of an imitation loving cup for first and pink and blue ribbons for second, third, and fourth places were awarded. Eleanor Cupp received first prize and Emily Gardner, Betty English, and Bob Lohman re- ceived second, third, and fourth respectively. l-iibl Row: D. DeHaven, M. Connett. N. Fiske, V.

This class is made up of girls with exceptional ability as leaders. They assist in refereeing inter-class games. Those who were in the class during the spring semester are Anna Marie Baumgartner, Virginia Baker, Ruth Berning, Betty Burhenn, RoseAnne Certia, VanDetta Clay, Mildred Close, Thelma Diehm, Betty Ann Gerding, Francis Knight, Pauline Lipp, Lida Mae Millberg, Leona Menze, Margaret Rehm, Barbara Ray- mond, Judith Schneider, Enita Snavely, Sheila Stehly, Velma Yoder, Helen Meese, Marjorie Hower, and Dean Hockensmith. In January the annual Recognition Service was held. The ritualistic ceremony was presented at this time. Miss Pittengcr and Martha Suter, vice-president of G. A. A. in 1934, were speakers. Miss Smith and Miss Patterson presented awards at this time. Those girls who had received 300 points were pre- sented numerals, and those with 1200 points received their let- ters. The letter girls are Margaret Ames, Martha Baumgartner, Virginia Beck, Madelyn Blauvelt, Jane Louise Brinkman, Goldie Bruoit, Sue Cameron, Marjorie Cartwright, Dorothy Crabill, Eleanor Cupp, Bernadette Dygert, Roselma Disler, Mary Ann Park, Ida May Frazell, Lillian Hackmeyer, Vera Fremion, Mary Martha Hobrock, Emily Gardner, Donna Lyman, Cath- erine Hirschman, Jean Kirby, Vera Mosel, Florence McKeon, Dons Rindchen, Betty Pettit, EfFie Roberts, Alice Mae Seibold, Mary Betty Wilkerson, Eileen South, Alwilta Tarney, Pauline Warner, Shirley Woodruff, Anna Brumbaugh, Doris Ehlinger, Audrey Fels, Helen Hickman, Geraldine Henline, Sue Meyer, JoAnna Rinehold, Helen RolofF, Lorita Schaefer, Mary Snider, Lois Arnold, Vandetta Clay, Mary Anne Fark, Vivian Hickman, Lu Wanda Likens, Mary Jane Redding, Barbara Uran, Anna Marie Baumgartner, Margaret and Marjorie Ruhl.

A. through this most successful year were: Martha Baumgartner, president; Eleanor Cupp, vice-president; Virginia Beck, secretary; Leona Menze, manager of sports; Marjorie Hower, junior representa- tive; Betty Eisenacker, freshman representative; and Ursula Morton, Inter-Club Congress representative. These officers were aided by Miss Alice J. Patterson and Miss Gretchen Smith, advisers of the G. A. A., who are always willing and ready to give helpful assistance to the club. Let's Go To Florida was the theme of the annual exhibi- tion this year, the matinee performance of which was presented in the seventh period for the benefit of the pupils. The pro- gram included many interesting features characteristic of life in Miami and was begun by the grand march. Top to bottom: Speedball, first row: E. Rarick, M. S. Coats, D. Walker, A.

The girls domg natural dancing were dressed m tunics and gave the appearance of realistic waves. A Sunrise dance was next, in which colorful dresses displayed the various hues of the rising sun to the accompaniment of Chopin's Minuet. As the day at the beach progessed, people began to get frisky. Girls next appeared all decked out in shorts and blouses of ail colors, making a very brilliant array. In time with the orchestra, gym- nastic exercises and lively games were enjoyed. A Beach Tog tap dance featured this portion of the program. By this time it was noon, and every- body was hungry, which thought, however, was quickly dismissed when a group of Singmg Waiters appeared on the scene. White slacks, red coats, white shirts, black bow ties, and trays completed the costumes of these trim waiters. Next, Sink-Easies, who went out into the water and threw their hands into the air calling for help, were immediately aided by the handsome life guards from the Anierican Red Cross. Tum- bling in the Sands, an act put on by the be- ginning and advanced tumbling classes; Ship Ahoy, a sailors' horn-pipe with Ursula Morton and Enita Shavely as chief petty officers all came out while the sun was high. Girls garbed in col- orful formals portrayed the sunset period of the day at the beach. Following this was From the Plantation with mammies and young men with black faces, accom- panied by the orchestra and the boys' quartet; an Oriental Melody ; a Caucasian dance, the cos- tumes being oriental and the dancers having tam- bourines; and the Gypsy Tribe, in ballet tech- nique, the gypsies wearing traditional costumes. The last number was a 'Modern Dance. Be- ing a new type of dance expression, peculiar in that it was accompanied only by drums, the girls made an atractive spectacle in their long skirts with al- ternate stripes of red and yellow or green and purple running around, and with tops of the same design. The pianists for the affair were Dorothy Richter and Ruth Baade. Mi ss Patterson and Miss Smith are met yearly with co-operation of not only the girls in the G. A. A., but also the girls in gymnasium and dancing classes. Top to bottom: A scene from the gym class carnival. The baby show attracted much attention. Tennis champs, first row: M. Ruhl, B.

The object of the society here is similar to that of the parent group in many ways. There is the wish to bless, brighten, and bring light and health to the home, to the school, and to the community. Help- fulness and utelulness are the two prime motives. The officers who served the club during the first semester of the past year were Betty Erick, president; Hazel Noll, vice-president; lona Schuler, secretary; and Edith Pawlisch, treasurer. Those students who served as officers from January until June are Caro- line Dirmeyer. president; Betty Beyrau, vice-president; Dorothea Tobianska, secretary; and Thelma Erwin, treasurer. Dorothy Newell represented the Sunshine Club m the Inter-Club Congress during the entire year. The Misses Mary and Edith Crowe are the faculty advisers of the Sunshine Club. The State Sunshine Society has drawn up a consti- tution which applies to all of the local organizations. One of the articles in this document is to the effect that a meeting must be held at least once a month and that the club must collect dues of at least five cents a year. Each spring all of the Sunshine clubs in the state meet at a convention, which is held in some one of the larger cities in the state. Each fall one Saturday is set aside for a one-day district meeting. The meeting is usually held in a school. In October, 1935, the District 11 Convention is scheduled to be held at South Side. Contributing to the Riley Fund is a state-wide wel- fare project. One of the many Sunshine Clubs in the state is chosen by the state organization for a term of five years to collect the contributions of all the or- First Row; V. Martin, D. Tobianski, C.

Rygowski, G. D. Zagel, H. McCormick, B. ganizations in the state. The money is used to purchase surgical equipment and other supplies for the Riley Hospital for Crippled Children in Indianapolis. The members of the Sunshine Club went to the Anti-Tuberculosis headquarters several times just be- fore Christmas to fold seals. They folded thousands of Christmas seals and put them in envelopes to be .sent out. The Sunshine Club also sponsored the sale of Health Crusader pins at South Side. The creed of the club is repeated by the old mem- bers when a new one is being admitted. With love in my heart, forgetting self, and with charity for all, i will make the object of my life helpfulness and kind- ness to others. I shall try to fit myself to give intelli- gent service in making my community a safer and more beautiful place in which to live. Thus will my own life become rich and complete. In promoting the sale of Christmas seals and in serving the school, the club really spreads sunshine and good-will. The Sunshine Halloween Party 58 THE TOTEM Service with a Smile By MARY OSBORN Former President U. S. A. The U. S. A. Club, tlie club that sounds like a history club but isn't a history club after all, is an organization for freshman and sophomore Girl Re- serves. The three letters, U. S. A., stand for unity, service, and appreciation, the three objectives of the club. Its purpose is that of all Girl Reserve organiza- tions— To find and give the best. These ideals are leflected in the club activities. The two faculty advisers who have so competently guided the U. S. A. are Miss Kelley and Mrs. Welty. The fall semester officers were: President, Ruth Gar- rison; vice-president, Virginia Fathauer; secretary, Evelyn Kruse; and treasurer, Gertrude Dannenfeldt. The chairmen of the committees were: Publicity, Mary Lou Lankenau; service, Grace Nelson; social, Emily Lepper, and membership, Lois Wyneken. Evelyn Lehman was the keeper of the cards, but she is not included in the cab- inet. The membership chairman acts also as In- ter-Club Congress repre- sentative. The officers during the spring semester were: President, Lois Wyneken; vice - president, Grace Nelson; secretary, Mary Lou Lankenau; treasurer, Gertrude Dannenfeldt; social chairman, Virginia Fathauer; service chair- man, Mary Beth La Fev- er; publicity chairman, Evelyn Lehman; and membership chair man, Julia Crabill. The keep- er of the cards was Betty Burhenn. Being a branch of the Y. W. C. A. and the baby sister of So-Si-Y, the club has a degree system. There are three degrees. Several of the U. S. A. girls received the highest of these, the triple triangle degree. They are Virginia Fathauer, Evelyn Lehman, Ruth Garrison, Evelyn Kruse, Grace Nelson, and Lois Wyneken. Service is a very important aim of this worth-while club. There are three kinds of service projects — for the club, for the school, and for the community. The U. S. A. Club has done a great deal of work in this line. The U. S. A. Club members enjoyed several parties this year. There was a big Christmas party with a playlet, and there was a peppy and successful mem- bership and Halloween party combined. At one out- standing meeting, Mr. Null spoke to the group; and his subject was How. Why, and What To Read,' At another meeting a group of So-Si-Y girls led the U. S. A. members in singing some of their favorite Girl Reserve songs. A potluck was held, and with it there was a candle- light initiation service. At this same meeting Miss Holtsapple spoke on Friendship. Every meeting in the fall semester was carried out in accordance with the theme, Friendship. In the spring semester, the girls paid tribute to their First Row: M. L. Lankenau, G. Nelson, L. Wyneken, G. Dannenfeldt. Second Row: V. Woods, H. IVleese, B. Raymond, B. Williams, P. Barrows, M. B.

The Girl Reserve clubs of all three high schools united to give a big dance at South Side after the sectional tournament, which was attended by students from various towns in this part of the state. The U. S. A. Club was in charge of the tickets. The proceeds from this dance went to meet the Girl Reserve pledge to the Y. W. C. A. 59 THE TOTEM So-Si-Y — Service Their Motto By DOROTHEA NANCE National Honor Society The So-Si-Y, one of the oldest clubs in South Side, is part of a world-wide organization, the Girl Reserves; and its purpose and code is that of the organization. This common purpose is: To find and give the best. The code is: A.s a Girl Reserve, I will try to be: Gracious in manner Impartial in judgment Ready for service Loyal to friends Reaching toward the best Earnest in purpose Seeing the beautiful Eager for knowledge Reverent to God Victorious over self Ever dependable. The club remembers this code and purpose through- out its meetings and projects and is especially out- standing in its service work. Every year Thanksgiving 9nd Christmas baskets are distributed by members of the club, who are supervised and aided by one of the advisers. Miss Smeltzley, and the service committee. Christmas cards are made each year for the soldiers; Easter eggs are colored for orphans; towels are hemmed for the Needle Work Guild; valentines are made for the Allen County Orphans' Home; and cafe teria aprons are mended. Different members of the club sell theme paper in the study hall every pe- riod for the benefit of the students; no profit is made. The club also par ticipates in a World Fel- lowship project during the year. Of course, the club has many outstanding social programs during the year. Perhaps the most impor- tant is the Faculty Tea, a recent innovation. This year it was held on Oc- tober 23, and the Hallov. - een theme was used. Each member of the club had as her guest a member of the faculty. Another prominent affair is the Mother -Daughter Tea, which has been held ev- ery year since 1926. So-Si-Y also plays an important part in making the annual tourney dances successful. All the Girl Reserve clubs of the city unite in planning this dance and presenting it. The regidar meetings are not lacking in entertain- ment of the best kind. At one meeting of this semester Mrs. Ada Perry Beinhacker, author of God in Na ture, was the speaker. She is president of the Indiana Writers' Society. Miss Van Gorder and Mr. Wilson answered many questions at a meeting when the theme was Storms and dealt with the problems of govern- ment. There was a short play which stressed the im- portance of World Fellowship. Miss Magley told a very interesting Thanksgiving story at one meeting. P Iiss Pittenger gave a short talk on Ideals of Girl Reserves. At a meeting at which the girls from Central';; Friendship Club were guests, there was a Christmas program. Miss Rinehart, a club adviser, gave an in- teresting synopsis of the life of Jesus; a trio of harpists played Silent Night and then accompanied Marjoric Dancer, who sang a Christmas selection. Ruth Ro?e told a Christmas story, and the So-Si-Y girls and their guests united in singing several Christmas carols be- fore refreshments were served. One of the most interesting things about the club is the way il divided so that every member takes part in the planning and presenting of programs. At the second meeting of the semester, the club is divided into the same number of groups as there are meetings. Each group elects a chairman and is ready to work Nance, Miss Woodward, First Row: E.

Pat Tarney, Martha Baumgartner, Mary Scha- fer, Emily Gardner, Vir- ginia Beck, and Dorothea Nance were the chair- men. In the spring, Eve- lyn Ertel, Helen Ander- son, Ruth Greiner, Vir- ginia Greiner, Ruth Ad- ler, and Betty Medaris were the chairmen. The theme of the fall meet- ings was Flying Above the Clouds. The themes of the diff erent meetings were Out of the Hang- ar, a pep meeting; Tak- ing Wings, a member- ship party; Servicing Our Planes, service; Control Board, the Faculty Tea; Storms, prob- lems of our government; Escapes, Thanksgiving; Air Pockets, international relations; Heavenward Glances, Christmas; Among the Stars, installation of officers. For the spring semester, the cabinet chose the theme, Finding God in the Beautiful. The meetings had the themes World Fellowship, membership party; World Fellowship E.xpressed ; Finding God in the Beautiful in Poetry ; Finding God in the Beautiful in Architecture ; Finding God in the Beautiful in Music ; Finding God in the Beautiful in Character , the Mother-Daughter Tea; and Finding God in the Beautiful in Nature , installation of officers. The officers for the fall semester were: Mary Os- borne, president; Suzanne Meyer, vice-president; Emily Gardner, secretary; Elfrieda Enz, treasurer; Martha Baumgartner, chairman of the service com- mittee; Ada Broyles, chairman of the social committee; Violet Wittmer, chairman of the membership commit- tee; Ruth Adler, chairman of the publicity committee; and Arleth Carvin, Inter-Club Congress delegate. The new officers for the spring term were Suzanne Meyer, president; Violet Wittmer, vice-president; Martha Baumgartner, secretary; Virginia Beck, treasurer; Bet- tv Medaris, chairman of the service committee; Arleth Carvin, chairman of the social committee; Ruth Reitz, chairman of the membership committee; Alwilta Tar- ney, chairman of the publicity committee; and Cather- ine Hirschman, delegate to the Inter-Club Congress. There is a merit system by which outstanding mem- bers of the club receive recognition for their work. This system, devised and first put into use in 1932, is composed of three triangle degrees. Only the most outstanding members receive them. R. Reitz, L. Reinking, E. Schrcmser, V. Cutshaw, A. Carvin, Osborn, E. Ertel, I. Smith. k, V. Wood, M. Rudig, M. A. Park. M. Schaefer, Miss Rine- . Crumrine, R. Bevington, C. Hirschman, R. Adler, B. Dygert. B. Medaris, E. Fuhrman, V. Beck, H. Heikowski, E. Kirkpat- Greiner, G. Shearer, R. Greiner, M. Franz, A. Pollock. The degrees increase in significance as they increase in difficulty to obtain. The first degree can be obtained by merely qualifying as a Girl Reserve of good stand- ing; by paying the dues and attending at least five meetings during the semester. To obtain the second degree, one must be a member of the club for two semesters and, during her second semester, help plan and execute some program, take part in two commun- ity service projects, do some service for the school either as an individual or in the club, participate in some service for the club at least once other than with programs, and continue to be a member in good standing. The Triple Triangle Degree is obtained only after one has been a member of the club for three semesters and has participatd in at least one world fellowship project during her club membership, and continued to meet the requirements for the Double Triangle Degree. Every year the Girl Reserves of the three Fort Wayne high schools unite in having a banquet at the V . W. C. A. So-Si-Y was prominent in making it a success this year. Betty Medaris, assisted by Alvena Greber at the piano, led the introductory songs; and Martha Baumgartner, president of the Girl Reserve Inter-Club Council, gave a talk on the Girl Reserve conference which will be held at a Wisconsin lake this summer. Other So-Si-Y girls who aided in the ban- quet preparations are Anna Bremer, Helen Doenges, Sue Meyer, and Pat Tarney. The decorations for the table and gym were carried out in rainbow theme, a large rainbow being suspended across the room. A large Girl Reserve emblem and posters of Camp Yarn- elle were also used. The table decorations were carried out in blue and white rainbows, the Girl Reserve colors. 61 THE TOTEM Christian Character Br BOB KLOPFENSTEIN National Honor Member Wedded to the Hi-Y in their freshman year, about twenty-five boys who are now seniors have stuck to- gether during the last four years hke gum to the bot- tom of a church pew. Never before has the member- ship of any Hi-Y attained such constancy; and, as a rcsuk', these boys have accomphshed many tasks for the benefit of others. In this manner they have car- ried out their purpose: 'To create, maintain, and extend throughout the Si hool and community high standards of Christian cnaracter. This year, their senior year, has been the top. For, with Mr. Dwight Shirey and Mr. Fred Gilbert as advisers and Duncan McLeish and Lloyd Grodrian as presidents during the fall and spring semesters re- spectively, many things have been done. The greatest achievement consisted of helping to make a success of the Northern Indiana Hi- ' Conference held during ihe latter part of November, 1934. Of the thirteen committees necessary to sponsor the conference, nine were headed by members of the South Side Senior Hi-Y. This year the club broke all past records at Bell's Rink by having over three hundred turn out for their skating fracas. First Row: L. Grodrian, J. Dawson, C. Baumgartner, F. Montgomery, E. Stump. Second Row: J. Bremer, W. Bender, W. Brown, D. Russell, D. Raenice, J. Bundy, N. Kellogg. Third Row: J. Roth, Mr. Shirey, E. Lochner, J. Bailey, D. McLeish, M. Tritch, J. Clapper. Then, as is usually done by the senior club, ten of the Hi-Y boys have watched the gates during athletic contests. These twenty-five boys have gamed a fine fellowship and good Christian characters. They have learned to live up to their slogan, Clean sports, clean speech, clean scholarship — and clean living. They have gained something out of their associa tion with each other that they may carry through the rest of their lives. High Ideals By DUNCAN McLEISH National Honor Society The Junior Hi-Y was organized in 1932 to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and com- munity high standards of Christian character. In the past year much has been done towards carrying out this purpose. The membership, low at the beginning, increased greatly with the change of the meeting night from Thursday to Monday. Mr. Ward O. Gilbert acted as lactilty adviser, and Mr. E. K. Ackerman was succeed- ed by Mr. H. F. Amrhein as adviser from the Y. M. C. A. The officers who directed the club through the fall semester were: Dick Helm, president; Robert Adams, vice-president; Herman Makey, secretary; and Morgan Harrison, treasurer. The officers for the spring sem- ester were: Bob Harruff, president; Morgan Harrison, vice-president, and Herman Makey, secretary-treasurer. One of the leading service projects of the club was to help make the Hi-Y Older Boys' Conference a success when it was held in Fort Wayne on December 1 and 2. The members of the Junior Hi-Y had charge First Row: R. HarrufF, C. Hart, L. Procise, W. Heber- mchl, B. Fries, E. Norris, R. Dochterman, D. Shupe. Second Row: N. Buck, R. Noe, F. Nye, H, Makey, M. Harrison. C. Mesing, R. Bergcl, B. Woodhull. of taking the group picture and ushering at the sessions. One of the social functions enjoyed during the year was a skating party held at Bell's rmk during the fall semester. This party, which featured a candy raffle, was one of the most successful parties of the year. Another social function was the Mother-Son Banquet held in the spring. This was a fitting climax to a very successful year. 62 THE TOTEM Joint Workers By BETTY ERICK Three years ago an organization was formed that has done a great deal for South Side. The organization is known as the Inter-Club Congress. Its purpose has always been to enlist the co-operation of the student body in activities that will contribute to the welfare of the entire school. The organization has helped to develop a better sense of citizenship among the students. Each member of Inter-Club Congress represents one of the clubs in South Side. These representatives are elected by the various clubs once or twice a school year. The following students were members in the spring semester: julia Crabill, U. S. A.; Thelma Kuttler, Stamp Club; Mary Smith, Travel; Joan Bonsib, Meterite; Helen Anderson, Philo; Ruth Adler, Math-Science; Dorothy Newell, Sunshine; Goldie Bruoit, Pebble Pups; Helen Callison, Girls' Rifle; Anna Bremer, Wo-Ho-Ma; Mary Ann Park, Times; Clayton Kilpatrick. Philatelic; Ursula Morton, G. A. A.; Robert Strasser, Wranglers; Leslie Johnson, Torch; Maxine Mariotte, Library Club; Dick Russell, Senior Hi-Y; Ada Schuelke, German; Geraldine Henline, Student Players: Robert Blomker, Latin; Alice Hulse, French; and Catherine Hirschman, So-Si-Y. The members assemble only when called by their adviser, Mr. Flint, to work upon various school projects. The Inter-Club Congress co-operates with the class officers and the social councils, the home rooms, and the faculty committee composed of Miss Kiefer, Mr. Flint, and Mr. Bex. Since only fifty percent of the students are represented through clubs, the Congress works with the home rooms, which includes the entire student body. The class officers and social councils have taken over the work and responsibility formerly handled by the Inter-Club Congress. It is now the latter's duty to publicize and aid the projects origi- nated by the Student Council. The members present Mr. Flint, chairman of the Inter-Club Congress committee, and Mr. Gould doing a bit of landscaping. A familiar scene setting out new shrubs and trees to beautify our grounds. the plans to the clubs which they represent, who in turn respond in their own individual way, as, for instance, the Art Department may make posters. Student Play- ers may give a play, or the Public Speaking Bureau may give talks. Only three meetings have been called thus far, all of which have been held during the spring seinester. The Clean-LJp Campaign was the main topic of all the meetings. During Clean-Up Week, an asseinbly was held at which a skit was presented. Clayton Kilpat- rick, Martha Baumgartner, and Dorothy CrabiU com- prised the committee in charge of the program. Those who took part in it are Anna Brumbaugh, John Bex, Vincent Cook, Jerry Zehr, Sally Rea, Eleanor Warren, Frederick Prange, Jean Creighton, Clif- ford Schrom, Virginia Vesey, and several mem- bers of the home economics departinent. The play was under the direction of the dramatics de- partment. Maxine Mariotte, Dick Russell, Mary Smith, and Catherine Hirschman had charge of the Library display for Clean-Up Week. Among the many duties of the Inter-Club Con- gress is the caring for the school lawn. This is done in the spring and fall of every year. Last seinester Mr. Gould, Mr. Whelan, and Mr. Flint, head of the Inter-Club Congress, placed special rocks on the lawn at the northeast corner of the school. Through the efforts of this or- ganization, flowers and trees were also placed on the school lawn last semester. Each home room was asked to do some part of the beautifying. As a result. South Side may soon boast the most beautiful school lawn. 63 THE TOTEM Boosters Without a Doubt By EDYTHE THORNTON Chairniitn of the Decorating, Committee First row; H. Yapp, P. Crabill, B.

It the rumor that as you sow, so shall you reap is well-founded, there is at least one club at school that will soon begin clipping coupons, because the principal indoor, and we might add, outdoor sport of the Boos- ter Club is to sow its energy over a wide field of activities. Having as its purpose the boosting and furthering of all activities undertaken in the name of the school, it naturally has its finger in many pies. Like the Israelites, its members are more numerous than the sands of the sea shore. So far removed are the fields of endeavor, that the left hand knows not what the right hand does. The branches that gather in the wherewithal to carry out the club purpose do not know the activities of the dispensers of this same wherewithal; the dispensers do not know from whence cometh heaven's bounty; but all committees are closely supervised by the capable direction of Miss Rowena Harvey, general chairman. The agents for colleciing revenue are the tea dance committee and the concession coi Tunittee. The former has the two-fold object of collecting nice, jingly shek- els and dispelling the gloom customary to Friday afternoons.

Oh, Booster Club, what labors are committed in thy name 64 HE TOTEM Display of Dexterity Sj BERNETA McINTOSH President of Art Club As a decided change from last year, the exhibits provided by the individual departments were placed in the various rooms along the north, east, and west halls surrounding the gymnasium, instead of in booths in the gymnasium. As a special feature, many stu- dents were active in the classrooms giving demonstra- tions in the sciences, sewing, manual training, and art. These, along with the pageant, involved a large num- ber of students who helped to make the exhibit a great success. The phy.sics laboratory was the only room in the south end of the building that was used. One of the most interesting things done by this department was to talk on a beam of light. The committee of teachers in charge of this exhibit Ere responsible for the original ideas carried out and its success as a whole. The faculty members composing this committee are Mr. Flint, chairman; Mr. Bex, Mr. Briner, Mr. Hull, Mr. Murch, Mr. Sidell, Mr. Wilson, Miss Dochterman, Miss Magley, Miss Oppelt, Miss Rehorst, and Miss Van Gorder. As we have celebrated the Tercentenary of the Bos- ton Latin School all this year, this was decided upon as the theme of the exhibit. This theme was carried out especially in the rooms, and a pageant was present- ed on the newly constructed stage in the gymnasium. Its object was to depict the progress of secondary edu- ' ation from 1635 to 1935. Music between scenes was furnished by the school orchestra under the direction cf Mr. Wainwright. The audience was seated on chairs on the gym floor and on the bleachers. The pageant showed the great change of modern high schools from the high schools of the past and the great advantage that the students have in our high schools today. It was mostly pantomime; so members of the public speaking department, under the direction of Miss Dorothy Benner, explained the various scenes. A lighted box with dates and pictures changed with the scenes to complete the explanation. The members of The Times staff, under the direc- tion of Miss Rowena Harvey, issued a special issue of the Times, which was given to every one attending the exhibit. Demonstrations of the complete process of issuing an edition of the Times and a display of all awards v.on by the paper was exhibited in the Times room. An exhibit of all extra-curricular activities of the school was shown in the Band room. Miss Pittenger was in charge of this attraction, which displayed the work and activities of the various clubs. Special pro- jects were on display, and several students brought hobby collections. One of the best was a display of Lincoln Logs. The success of the third annual exhibit should go to the faculty committee and the students who aided. As chairman, Mr. Flint was in general charge of ar- rangements. Mr. Bex was in charge of physical equip- ment; Mr. Wilson and Mr. Sidell, of program and publicity; Mr. Briner, of student assistant work; Mr. Murch and Mr. Hull, of general arrangements in the gym; and Miss Van Gorder, of the preparation of the episodes and the staging of the pageant in the gym. The other teachers on the committee aided in the various arrangements. Exhibit Committee Mr. Sidell, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Bex, Miss Oppelt, Miss Rehorst, Miss Kiefer, Miss Dochterman, Miss Magley, Mr. Flint, Miss Van Gorder, and Mr. Briner. 65 THE TOTEM Implements Used in Early American Schools Ancient tools of teaching in American schools are shown in the accompanying photographs, numbers identifying the implements as follows: 1. Dunce's or Asss Board, hung on the chest of stupid, lazy, bored, and mischievous scholars. 2. Iron comb with wooden handle for treating itching scalps. Cruel masters would bring blood with a stroke. 3. Plaks (Dutch), to slap naughty hands. 4. Hornbook. 5. Brush, to dust desk. 6. Stocks, where boys' feet were locked while the master gave whippings, as often as ten times an hour. Ink well. Sharpening quills was the master's chief distraction during monotonous recitations. Sand cup, for drying pages wet with ink. On the wall, there were usually specimens of the master's writing, to prove he could do it. — Courtesy News-Sentinel. - t kzfc THE TOTEM As a contrast to the almost brutal mcthocis used in the early American school to maintain disciphne (see opposite page), we have pictured the methods of disciplining a modern school. In place of the iron comb used for treating itching scalps, pupils now study unmolested in spacious study rooms. Naugh- ty hands now find diversion m such undertakings as learning to cook and sew, while pencils replace the quills of centuries past. Christmas trees now decorate club rooms for students' pleasure, whereas work and work alone was deemed pleasure in the early schools. For the stocks, in which boys feet were locked while the master's whip was employed, has been sub- stituted only the punishment of an eighth period.

The highest honor that can be awarded to any senior at South Side High School, that of membership in the National Honor Society, was given to fifty-four mem- bers of the 1935 graduating class. This honor was awarded because of their high standards of scholar- ship, leadership, character, and service, the four requi- sites of the society. The character of the senior is determined by the record he has achieved during his high school career. His scholarship is based on his scholastic average. This average must be in the upper third of that of the entire class. His leadership is de- termined by the active part he has taken in extra-curricular activities. His service, as the word implies, is reckoned by his service to the school. 'By CHARLENE DAVIS A Tarney, E.

Voorhees, Mabel Thorne, Gertrude Oppelt, and Herman O. Makey. M. Tritch, V. Wittmer The history of honor societies in secondary schools is an interesting one. As far as can be ascertained, the first scholarship honor society was founded in 1900 by Dr. William B. Owen, principal of the old South Side Academy, Chicago. It was called the Phi Beta Sigma and was patterned after the Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary college society. In repaid succession, other honor societies were organized in all parts of the country. Outstanding among these were the Cum Laude Society, founded in 1906 at the Tome School, Fort Deposit, t ff Maryland; the Oasis Society started in 9 jt 1906 at the Polytechnic Preparatory Coun- ' ' - '■' y y School of Brooklyn; and the Mimerian Society organized in 1910 at the Manual Arts High School of Los Angeles, California. This demand for means of recognizing stu dents of ability led to the formation of N. H. S. in 1922. 101 Jocular Juniors 'By CLAYTON KILPATRICK Catherine Allendorph Charles Worden Theron King Helen Kelsey Dorothy Crabill Uit Three big kids — Ann Abbett, Maxine Mariotte, and Jo Anne Smith.

They're Almost There 'By HELEN HUGHES Thirty-seven, — thirty-eight, — No, this is not the football squad calling a play. It is the votes cast by the junior class for their class officers being count- ed. Fred Nye, an outstanding athlete, was chosen as their president. Assisting Fred with his executive duties are Dorothy Crabill, vice-president; Marjorie Cartwright, secretary; and Harriet Yapp, Bob Adams, and Gwen Horn, social council. Miss Hazel Miller and Mr. Lloyd Whelan are the class advisers. With these competent advisers and officers, the juniors were fure to have a happy and successful year — and they did. Continuing the splendid record which they set last year, there are many juniors who again made the honor roll. They are Ann Abbett, Robert Adams, Ruth Adler, John Alien, Catherine Allendorph, Helen Anderson, Harriet Basford, Fay Bechtold, Irene Becker, Rowena Bevington, Eric Beyer, Maxine Bor- cher, LaVerne Boyce, Anna Bremer, Frederick Bru- baker, Norman Buck, Wilma Butler.

Having an average of 6.3859, Mr. Whelan's home room received the junior scholarship plaque. The plaque for having the highest average vas also awarded to this room. The members of this outstanding home room are Ruth Holterman, Henry Kezelrigg, Verna Holtinan, Gwen Horn, Bernard Houser, Maxine Howard, Judy Kroeff, Doris Kine, Bob Locke, Joan Lohman, Paul Lohse, Jane Loomis, Eliza Bess Lucas, Ruth Luepke, Elizabeth Luben, Martha Lyman, Donna Lyman, Kathryn Magley, Mar- garet Marahrens, Richard Marten, George Anna Mar- tin, Hubert McEowen, Miriam Mclntire, Dale Mc- Neakle, Eugene McKay, Betty Meigs, Willis Mertens, Dorothy Mertz, Carl Mesing, Richard Meyer, Dolores Meyer, Lorraine Meyer, and Fred Meyers. In January the plaque was awarded to Miss Kiefer's home room, this class having an average of 6.7172. A second plaque was given them for having the highest average of all the home rooms. The members of this class are Ruth Reitz, Willard Rice, Doris Rindchen, Don Rinker, Betty Rison, Ruth Roadcap, Harold Rob- erts, George Rogers, Ruth Rose, Maxine Roth, Manuel Rothberg, Dorothy Roudebush Mildred Rudig, Clarice Rudy, Leroy Rusher, Betty Schaaf, Dot Scheele, Mary Scheere, Beatrice Schieber, Aaron Schoenfeld, Elinor Schremser, Cliff Schrom, Theo Schurenberg, Leroy Schultz, Linda Schulz, Dorothy Schwier, Kenneth Scott, Roger Seemeyer, Virginia Stangle, Don Strah- meier, and Donald Vetter. The Times staff is indeed fortunate in having so many talented juniors participating in the publication. Some of these juniors are Rosemary Chappell, who is editor and circulation manager; Jo Anne Smith, copy editor; Ann Abbett, copy editor and make-up editor; Louis Bonsib, managing editor; Paul Kennedy, cartoonist; and Bryce Minier, business manager. Oth- ers who are active on the staff are Betty Wolf, Dick Helm, Maxine Mariotte, George Anna Martin, Nor- man Buck, Margie Hower, Barbara Uran, Gwen Horn, Lorraine Meyer, Alfred Diem, Claire Mae Doran, Harriet Yapp, Dorothy Crabill, Mary Martha Ho- brock, Jane Loomis, Maxine Howard, and Bonsilene Craig.

Ann Abbett, also an active junior, was greatly hon- ored by being elected secretary of the Indiana High School Press Association at a convention held at Franklin, Indiana. The class of 1936 suffered a great loss when Marsh- all Rosenthal died after a short illness. He was a prominent member of his class and is greatly missed. Marshall was very active on the Times and in club work. On the Times staff he held the position of make- up editor and editorial writer, having previously held the positions of reporter, mailing manager, and assist- ant make-up editor. He was also treasurer of the Philatelic Society and general manager of Stamp News, which is a publication put out by this club. Public speaking has attracted many of the juniors this year, and there have been many good speakers among these. Among those appointed members of the Speakers Bureau, an honorary organization, by Miss Dorothy Benner are Myron Jones, Louis Bonsib, Sonia Velkoff, Ann Abbett, Bernadette Dygert, Max- ine Mariotte, Robert Adams, and Manuel Rothberg. These excellent speakers help in presenting ideas to the whole student body in the form of speeches in assemblies and in the individual home rooms. Manuel Rothberg has done exceptionally excellent work in this field. He has talked on the radio, before various business men's luncheon clubs, and at school gatherings. Manuel placed second in the extempor- aneous contest held last fall. He also represented South Side in the Woman's Club Oratorical Contest and took second place in this meet. No activity is too great for the junior members to participate in. One of these activities is radio. The representative from the junior class is Bob Zieg, who served in the capacity of master of ceremonies on the radio programs sponsored by The South Side Times. The study of dramatics and the hope of becoming a Student Player has attracted a great many of the class of 1936. The work is directed by Miss Marjorie Suter and is elective. There is no credit towards grad- uation for those who take it.

Since many of the boys participating in sports this year are seniors. Coach Lundy Welborn and Coach Jake McClure will have to depend almost entirely on the junior boys for material for building up their teams. Membership in the National Honorary Ath- letic Society has been conferred upon Joe Close, Fred Nye, and Charles Stone, all active participants in the different sports. If the class of 1936 continues to set such high standards as they have during the past year, they should have a very profitable and happy future in store for them. Several of the members of the junior class belong to the 1500 Club. This club was formed for those who had earned 1500 points in Times work. Those who have this honor are James Sweet, Rosemary Chappell, .' nn Abbett, Mildred Foellinger, Georgianna Martin, Bryce Minier, Norman Buck, Bonsilene Craig, Vera Ellinger, Ruth Garrison, June Haeger, Dick Helm, Gwen Horn, and Maxine Mariotte. Among the girls of the class of '36 are many who are very much interested in sports. They have en- tered into the activities of the Girls' Athletic Associa- tion with much enthusiasm. Those who have found basketball attractive as an after-school pastime are Ruth Adler, Helen Anderson, Lois Arnold, Virginia Ayres, Vivian Baumgartner, Irene Becker, Rowena Bevington, Jeanette Braun, Virginia Busse, Marjorie Cartwright, Rose Anne Certia, Norma Clauser, Van Detta Clay, Margaret Crankshaw, Ruth DeHaven, Margaret Dickmeyer, Aldena Disler, Mary Anne Fark, Doris Figel, Nona Fiske, Helen Farker, Helen Heik- cwsky, Vivian Hickman, Mary Martha Hobrock, Mar- jorie Hower, Betty Rose Lehman, LuWanda Likens, Betty Lou Lindenberg, Jane Loomis, Margaret Marah- rens, Doris Miller, Vera Mosel, Eileen Mossman, Edith Pawlisch, Winnie Porter.

On May 3 the annual Junior Promenade and Ban- quet were held. As the theme was of medieval times, the cafeteria was decorated to represent the times of King Arthur. The table was decorated with roses, silver shields, and trumpets, to which were attached songs written by Bernadette Dygert. For the speakers appropriate titles made famous in King Arthur's time were selected. Fred Nye, acting as toastmaster, was appropriately called The Herald. For Mr. Snider the title of Sir Launcelot was chosen. When Knighthood was in Flower was the title for Clarice Rudy's talk. Known as the Traveling Trouba- dours, members of the class entertained with several harp selections. Miss Pittenger was selected to be Lady Guinevere and Mr. Abbett, King Arthur. Clifford Schrom, portraying Merlin, foretold the future of many of the members of the class of 1936. 108 THE TOTEM First Row: Charles Worden, John Woodrmg, Virginia Woods, Mary Ellen Woods, Marian Wolfe, Ruth Wolf- calc, Mary Ellen Yant, Harriett Yapp, Lester Yoder.

The photog- rapher succeeded in getting pictures of some of these 1937 classmates. Bob Storm, our handsome blond, has worked hard on the Times and has attained membership in 1500 Club. He is a smart boy as his name appears among others on the honor roll. Reginald Gerig, the talented musician, won first place in the state piano contest. When he isn't practicing, he finds time to work on the Times and on his studies. Thus he makes the honor roll. Marjorie and Margaret Ruhl, the inseparable, are two of a kind in more ways than one. They have both earned their letter in G. A. A., they belong to Math-Science, and Meterites, and their names always appear on the honor roll. Virginia Fathauer, the sister of the Dorothy Fathauer, is following in her sister's footsteps. Her name is always on the honor roll, and she is active in Meterites and U.S.A. Charles Hart, pictured in a comfortable pose, has been a very active member of Travel, Marionette, Junior-Math, Philatelic, Wranglers, and the Times.

Besides this, he is in 1500 Club and on the honor roll. Mary Jane Wagoner and Ina Claire Chappell seem happy. Ina Claire is in Wranglers, Meterites, Times, and 1500 Club. Mary Jane is also in Meterites, Wrang- lers, and Times. Sally Rea is in Wranglers, Booster, and Art Club; and Ruth Garrison is active in U. S. A. Math-Science, G. A. A., and So-Si-Y. She makes the honor roll and works on the Times. In the upper right-hand corner are those who helped make this year successful for the sophoinores.

Beginning To Ripen 'By ALMA NITZSCHE The indication of any student's success is ably dem- onstrated in the attitude he has in his school years. His willingness to become a part of the life around him, to co-operate with progressive measures will un- doubtedly be a great influence of his life in a work-a- day world. No self-engrossed student can hope to achieve even a mild measure of success without com- pletely remolding his personality. He must constantly think of the others and co-operate with their efforts to make this a more progressive universe. The sophomore class of 1937 has made a bright start for its life in a busy world by willingly becoming a subscriber to the good times and worth-while things South Side provides. Time has turned the second page of these young people's high school career, and with the act has come more than two years' benefit from a participation in the extra-curricular and regular course requirements of a secondary school. Led by Jerry Zehr, an up-and-coming swimming champion, as president, the annals of another sopho- more class's activities have been brought to a successful close. He was very ably assisted by Don Sparkman as vice-president, Grace Nelson as secretary, and Jean Creighton, Miles Porter, and 'Virginia Fathauer com- prising the social council. Much credit and thanks go to their worthy faculty advisers. Miss Pauline Van Gorder and Mr. A. Verne Flint. To further activities of the school, a new organiza- tion was formed this year. The Student Council, made up of representatives of each of the four classes, was in full charge of the plans for a Get-Acquainted Day, the first of its kind in South Side. They also helped in the observance of Clean-Up Week. Those sopho- mores assisting in the arrangements are Grace Nelson, Virginia Fathauer, and Don Sparkman, who aided with the Get-Acquainted Day; Jean Creighton, who was on the poster committee for Clean-Up Week; and Jerry Zehr, who was on the assembly committee for the latter. Scholarship, undoubtedly, is the first requirement of a good student. Much praise should go to those home room groups which are able to step out of the common ranks and get ahead in the realm of good grades. For the mid-term grading period, the room 112 THE TOTEM First Row: Kenneth Eckart, John Edwards, Irene Ehlinger, Paul Elhson.

At the end of the term, the first-place scholarship rating of the second yearlings went to Miss Lucy Mel- len's home room, rooin 85, with an average of 5.56. Mr. McClure's group refused to be beaten entirely and came in second with an average of 5.4576. Third place went to Mr. Briner's home room in the gym, which had an average of 5.0864. The entire class's av- erage was 4.6985, which unfortunately put them in fourth position in comparison with the other classes. The students in Miss Lucy Mellen's home room, the winning one, are Earl Anderson, Elmer Bant, Robert Pequinot, Jack Rosenberger, Frances Rygowski, Paul- etta Steinberger, Lenor Stevenson, Bob Storm, Robert Strader, Robert Strawbridge, Eloise Stuart, Katherine Szink, Betty Tegtmeyer, Fred Thomas, Ed Turner, Forrestine Valentine, Luella Wehr, Claudine Wells, Marie Winkler, Doris Wolford, Benjamin Woodhull, Mary Ellen Wood, Virginia Worden, Jane Worming- ton, Theodore Worthman, Lois Wyneken, Dorothea Yost, Dorothy Zaegel, Jerry Zehr, and Jessiellen Zollars.

Some students have turned their talents to publica- tions work, and we find several members of the class of 1937 deeply engrossed in work on the school paper, The Times. Some have made so much of this work that they have become some of the higher-ups. John Bex, a gay happy-go-lucky fellow, has held the posi- tion of advertising manager on the staff for the last year. Through his endeavors, he has achieved the honor of receiving a gold-jeweled pin, the highest award for points earned while on the staff. Bob Storm, a witty, wise-cracking young man, has held several po- sitions on the editorial staff. He has served as news editor, make-up editor, and copy editor during the past year and has worked well in all three branches. Without a circulation no paper could exist, and The Times is no exception. Much credit goes to those people in the circulation department of the staff. One sophomore, Helen Kelsey, has served faithfully and enthusiastically as an assistant circulation manager for the past year. Lois Wyneken has held the posi- tion of assistant news editor for the spring term. Those members of the staff who have gained admis- sion to the 1500 Club during their two years here are John Bex, Bob Storm, Emily Lepper, Dorothy Ald- r;dge, Ruth Garrison, and Lois Wyneken. Two mem- bers toured with other Times workers to the Indiana High School Press Association Convention at Frank- fort in October. They are John Bex and Helen Kelsey. Other students who have worked in one de- partment or another are Lois Wyneken, Reginald Gerig, Ruth Garrison, Forrestine Valentine, Violet Garton, Sally Rea, Mary Louise Lankenau, Paula Gerding, Ruth Rose, Geneva Shearer, June Haeger, Virginia Greiner, Charles Hart, Martin Ankenbruck, Mary Kay Connell, Jeanette Lewis, Gertrude Dannen- feldt, Marjorie Meyer, Ruth Berning, and Margaret Foellinger. William Jennings Bryan has said, The ability to speak effectively is an acquirement rather than a gift. Our public speaking department is a gift to those who wish to acquire this ability. All those who enter into Its activitie s think of them in later years as one of the most beneficial things in their entire high school 114 THE TOTEM Fourth Row; Dorothy Nelson, Martha Newell, Nadine N oe, Mary Jane Odell, Don O'Brien.

The course in public speaking has aided hun- dreds of students to become creditable speakers — many of whom were formerly unable to say half a dozen sentences effectively when facing an audience. In addition to this, and far more important, this course has developed young people. It has increased their faith and vision, and shown them how to use their latent forces to the fullest possible extent. It has made leaders out of many who were previously only mute followers. An annual affair of the public speaking department at South Side is the freshman-sophomore speech con- test. Many sophomores entered this year, and several demonstrated their ability very well. This v?.s th? first year that the contest had ever been held before the public speaking classes, but the plan worked out very well. Miss Dorothv Benner, teacher of public speaking, said it was probably the best one that has yet taken place. The public speaking classes, Mi.'s Patty Savage, and Miss Benner served as judges. Each contestant was coached by an upperclassinan. Those people who placed first are Helen Kelsey, who was coached by Manuel Rotbberg; Vernon Miller, who was coached by Wayne Bender; Richard Rastetter, who was coached by Ira Gerig; and Ruth Garrison, who was coached by Mary Osborne. Those who took second place are Charles Hart, Mary Lou Helms, Leona Menze, and Eleanor Paetz. They were coached by Leonard LJnderwood, Eleanor Cupp, Pauline Crabill, and George Orr, respectively. John Bex, coached by Manuel Rothberg, and Maxine Morton, coached by Ursula Morton, placed third. Sports, ever an interesting pastime, have attracted many of both boys and girls of the class. It has soine- times been thought by many outsiders that the boys were the only ones in the school who really participated in sports. But the South Side Girls Athletic Associa- tion is fast disproving this fact. Girls turn out from all classes, and the sophomores are not to be daunted. A great number of thein were very active and proved dangerous threats to the teams of the other classes. Those girls entered in sports this year are: Aldrich, Barrow, Bandtel, Baumgartner, Beck, Berning, Beyrau, Bill, Blauvelt. Boxberger, Broderick, Campbell, Carl- son, Close, Closs, Connell, Crago, J.

Only one of the sophomore girls has garnered enough points to earn her letter. In order to do this, at least twelve hundred points inust be gained through participating in any of the many sports which the Girls' Athletic Association sponsors. Anna Marie Baumgartner is the only sophomore girl to attain this honor. The boys who entered varsity sports are not so many this year as the girls. However, those who did enter were very active in the three sports, football, basket- ball, and track. Although none of the boys were able to earn their letter, their assistance was keenly felt and appreciated. They are: Feichter, Hinton, B. Kruse, Dern, Hines, Hall, Eiser, Reichert, and Henslee. The class of 1937 may well feel proud of the fact that they have so successfully completed their second year within the portals of South Side. A job well done ir something well worth praise, and we hand our little bouquet to the sophomores for making themselves somewhat the talk of the town with their accomplish- ments. There is a certain satisfaction in seeing what you have set out to do at last materialized and devel- oped into something worthy of time and attention. We hope that these sophomores will accept our sin- cerest hopes that they grow in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with God and man. We are certain that this can be accomplished right here in South Side with a little determination and resolve on the part of every loyal South Sider. With a curriculum of the propor- tions and quality of South Side's, a student could not Kelp but gain the best in wis dom. If we may interpret the stature as meaning not only body growth, we wish for every sophomore growth in all his interests, abilities, and endeavors. Such friend- ships as are gained in daily associations in South Side w ith each of their little inspiratons and the fine quali- ties that are instilled in the extra-curricular activities nre great instrumental factors in the fulfillment of our last and earnest desire for the prosperity of the sopho- mores in all things worth while. The annual party of the sophomore class was held in the cafeteria and gymnasium on Friday, May 10. A Gingham Gallop was the theine of the evening and was carried out in various ways. A skit was presented in the cafeteria by several members of the class and was a part of the program there, consisting of a Polka- dot Polka by Reginald Gerig; Gingham Greetings, Miss Pittenger; Popular Prints, Jacqueline Hench, Vir- ginia MacNamara, Barbara Arney; Capering Calicos, Marjorie Glass, June Close; and Gingham Gallop by the Gallopers. Prizes for the most original costumes in gingham were given to both boys and girls during the evening, and Bud Goldman's orchestra played for the dancing in the gyni. 116 Top row, left to right: Marjorie RoHrer, Jean Karns, Jack Fiske, Ann Winters.

To begin with Marjorie Rohrer — she is pubHcity chairman of Meter- ites; and her friend, Alice Karns, who seems to enjoy being photographed, has already stamped her trade- mark on a great number of school enterprises. Jack Fiske is seen in an informal pose on the porch of our South Side. He's a singer; and now that spring's come, he's decided to take on a few birds. We only hope he'll do it far, far away. Ann Winters seems to like the photographer; and, this being spring, this Win- ter's work is over with a very successful season in Wranglers and Art Club. Dalton McAlister puns in the Times. If you should be one of those so provoked at one of the terrible of his worst, just think of Dalton and send him lilies. Julia Crabill is the baby of the family, but it seems that she takes on a man-sized amount of work. She s membership chairman in U. S. A., vice-president of Meterites, Times member, and a member of G. A. A. Ann Brothers must be camera-shy, but she likes out- door sports and reading. She'd never make a famous person, though, if she can't face a camera. Dwight Frost, alias Glee Club member, intramur.nl sports fan, and Clean-Up Week assistant, looks a little down-hearted. Cheer up! Little Joe, as he is known around the Times room, is active in the Booster Club, Times, and the honor roll. (He says he'd rather the honor roll were a jelly roll.) Juanita Wolford is chief-paste-pot-cleaner-upper for the Times room. She works hard, they say. And now for Ruth Henline and Betty Lee Wilson, two enterprising young freshmen. Ruth is in Meterites and the Times, and Betty Lee is a real worker around the school. Paul McConnell and Leslie Johnson are quite the young things, but they also manage to be members of Wranglers, draina classes, (that's for Paul) and Torch Club, Glee Club, Intramural, and Inter-Club Congress (for Leslie). Clyde Nussbaum ambles along to his many activities in South Side. THE TOTEM First Row: Ellen Addington. Anita AfFolder, Alice Alexander. Barbara Arney, Dorothy Baade.

They're Just Beginning 'By PAULINE CRABILL If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him. The class of 1938 seems to have had this famous quotation for its motto during the first, important year of high schooL The members of this class realized that even in the first year of one's high school career many valuable coins can be added to one's collection. This class has already learned one of the great lessons of life — that it is better to store one's money in his head, where he can always find it when it is wanted, than to trust the money to the care of other people. The greatest coin of all is the coin of knowledge. The freshman class has added this priceless gem to the growing collection, for thirty-one studious boys and girls have proved to themselves and to their teachers that they are worthy of honor grades. In this list we find Joan Bonsib, George Castle, Ina Claire Chappell, Grace Collins, Helen Co, , Oscar Eggers, Helen Pork- er, Ruth Gerber, Elizabeth Gross, Evelyn Habig, Ruth Henline, John Hines, Jack Horn, Robert Jones, La- Verne Dee Keel, Joan Kennedy, Robert Klotz, Richard LaMar, Dalton McAlister. Helen E. Meyer, Edythe May Persing, Ann Peters, Marcia Koop, Margaret Ruckel, Robert Schaaf, Geraldine Schaffer, Arnold Schelper, Paul Swits, Robert Weil, Kathleen Whitmer, and Viola Yaney. AiTiong the freshinen is a group of students who have worked very diligently, and through their high grades they have won the honor plaque for the highest scholarship of this entire class. The students of Mr. Davis' home room gained this distinctive honor with an average of 5.4773. Miss Ley's home room was second with an average of 5.4682; Miss Kelley's was third with a 5.4262 average. Those students who are members of the winning room are Seth Adams, Florence Anderson, Don Arm- strong, Virgmia Bliss, Margaret Beck, Mildred Beck, Mary Ellen Blauvelt, Marcella Bleich, Don Bazzinett, Charles Baney.

A priceless coin was added to the collection in the form of the Freshman-Sophomore Speaking Contest. What could be more useful than the ability to speak well? This year the contest was the tnost successful ever held at South Side. Each speaker was placed under the direction of an upperclassman, who gave valuable assistance. D a 1 t o n McAlister, Kathleen Whitmer, Janet Hartman, and Joan Bonsib were the speakers who won first place in their respective con- tests. Julia Crabill, Margaret Wunder, Ruth Gerber, and Betty Gross placed second, while Pat Russ, Martha Bacon, LaDonna Gerber, and Paul McConnell took third place. Other freshman contestants were Oscar Eggers, James Hiat, Phyllis Roller, Betty Schultz, John Edwards, Ruth Goeglin, and Rodney Stair. Since the freshmen are not yet acquainted with each other, there are no class officers. However, in order that this class may be represented in all the school activities, several members have been selected to act as representatives. Dalton McAlister, Eleanor Vesey, and Dwight Frost have attended the social council meet- ings and have done their part in planning the pro- gram for Clean-Up Week. The freshman class is very appreciative of the fine work that these pupils have done for the school. In this group of so-called youngsters we find a great number of boys and girls who are already dis- playing the leadership that is expected in upperclass- men. A surprisingly large number of these students have adjusted and adapted themselves to our social life in a remarkably short time. First in this group is a. boy who has shown in every way possible that he is a future leader of South Si de. We are referring to Dalton McAlister. He is an honor roll student, which is a very good characteristic of any student. He has showed unusual writing ability in his weekly column in the Times called Freshman Fantasy. In addition, he won first place in the Freshman-Sophomore Speak- ing Contest; he is a yell leader; and he is a representa- tive of his class. South Side is proud to possess two very good tap dancers, Virginia MacNamara and Jacquelyn Hench. 119 THE TOTEM First Row; George Kampt, Charlotte Kern, Dorothy Kien e, Lester King, Mary Jane Klomp, Evelyn Knock, Charlotte Krim- mel.

Already she has displayed her musical talent in the Minstrel Show. Moreover, she is a member of the harp en- semble, of which we all are very proud. Oscar Eggers has entered whole-heartedly into the school activities of South Side. He is an honor roll student, the chairman of his home room, and a yell leader and was a contestant in the speaking contest. Active participation in clubs has claimed its share of interest among many of the underclassmen. Betty Pugh is the treasurer of Meterites, while Julia Crabill is vice-president, and Marjorie Rohrer is publicity chairman.

As I was trying to think of an excuse to give to Miss Montgomery in case I didn't quite make my room before that final buzz, Mr. Gilbert came along in his car and picked me up. Approaching the school, we noticed a Chinaman at the entrance who was closely watching Mr. Gilbert. For a moment I thought Ward O. had forgotten to pay his laundry bill for the cur- rent week. But it was here that I got the surprise of my life; for Mr. Gilbert quickened his pace and was soon greeting the stranger like a long-lost friend, v hich he indeed turned out to be. By th e shades of the Holy Dragon if it isn't Muf-an-Chu, I heard him say. Turning to me the Lab Shark explained that the supposed stranger was really a very good friend, by whom he had been extended every courtesy while touring China with his world-renowned baseball club. Realizing that Muf-an-Chu would be interested in the activities of South Side, Mr. Gilbert immediately pressed me into service as a personal guide on a tour through the halls of our school. It was a typically busy day and the corridors were full as usual just before the day's classes began. About us were many familiar faces of active students. Pres- ently we saw Cliff Schrom chasing one of his feminine companions through the crowd. I told my new ac- quaintance that Chff's chief interest was to do that sort of thing. The laundryman's lips formed a sort of grin, and he spoke in typical Charlie Chan fashion, Man always chase girl until she catch him. I then told the visitor that in spite of Cliff's antics very little attention was paid to him. The button-breaker again spoke in the same manner, Skunk is small animal but is not to be sniffed at. Under the clock we saw Bill Epmeier. I explained to Muf-an-Chu that Bill hadn't been very successful in going with one girl, but gave them all a break. I got ready for another piece of advice as the sleeve- starcher's lips formed that familiar grin. He spoke, Avoid triangle to preserve family circle. Muf-an-Chu went on, Humble companion would like to visit place where most honorable pages of school paper are born. I interpreted this as meaning that he wanted to go down to the Tiines room. Once there, we saw the greatest percent of the staff yawn- ing and sleeping. Muf-an-Chu, seeing the condition of the writers, accounted for it by saying in his unique manner, Lot of yawn needed to spin dream. John Bremer, with his feet contentedly resting upon his hard-earned desk, was seeing nothing as he stared out of the window. About Johnny, the laundryman commented, Day dreaming great life if one doesn't waken. While there we saw Hugh Scott, I told Muf-an-Chu that he was responsible for the dirt in the Times. About Scott the sock-soiler said, Fellow who throws mud always loses ground. After having carefully inspected the Times room, we once again found ourselves in the halls. Muf-an- Chu asked who the boy was that was leaning against the wall. I told him that it was Bob Zieg. We asked Bob why he was so tired. In reply, he said he had been busy as a bee the night before. Here I attempted to be a bit witty and said, Oh, you were out gathering honey. For a moment I thought I had outwitted my friend but he came right back with, Many are stung trying to get a little honey. As we walked on down the hall, 1 told Muf-an-Chu that Bob was a pretty fast driver. In a few seconds my friend replied, American boy drives like he is late for accident. Sticking up for Bob, I told him that Bob had resolved to drive slower. Before two steps had been taken, Muf-an-Chu said, Most resolutions keep because they're not used. ' Then we started toward the office; having reached it, we heard Mr. Snider talking to his wife on the phone. Muf-an-Chu very appropriately remarked: Man think he knows but woman knows better.' As we waited for Miss Pittenger, my Chinese friend said, Woman's promise to be on time carries lot of wait. ' As we journeyed back down the incline to the door, I said to Muf-an-Chu Good-bye and don't freeze; the temperature must be down to zero. My friend spoke once more, That's nothing. Good-bye. Watching my celestial friend as he disappeared down Calhoun Street, I realized my good fortune in having made the acquaintance of one so wise. In words he might have used, I thought to myself, Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go. 123 THE TOTEM Tercentenary Tribute (Continued trom page 21 ences, instrumental and vocal music, and gymnastics v-'ere taught in this first high school building. So verv proud was Fort Wayne of its high schol that a model of it was sent to the Centennial Exposition at Phil.i delphia in 1876. The school itself proved worthy o: all praise given it; and, in the spring of 1869, the first class consisting of ten pupils graduated. This number is but a small fraction of our present high school graduating classes, which this year total nearly one thousand. At the very highest, this first high school building is said to have cost between 100,000 and 125,000. South Side High School cost abou: 81,000,000. It is interesting to know that in 1868 pupils were given various questions touching upon mathematics, spelling, English, and history before they were ad- mitted into the school. Rules were necessary, but they were very few in number compared to our regulations today. Because of movements in the Indiana Legislature unfriendly to high school interests, in March, 1878, the school board was forced to change the name of High Schol (East Wayne Street) to Central Grammar School. The same high quality of work done in the high school continued, however. In 1900 the name of High School was restored. The name now is remem- bered as the Fort Wayne High School. Among the naines of the teachers in 1910-12 found in the records are Chester T. Lane, H. S. Voorhees, Alice E. Hall, and A. B. Crowe (father of Miss Edith Crowe and Miss Mary Crowe of South Side). Though an addition was built to the high school in 1877 and another twenty-one years later, the school was so crowded that plans were made for a new high school. A site located between Lewis and Montgomery Streets on Barr Street was bought from Miss Margaret V. Hamilton. The price was 25,000. The school was opened in the fall of 1904 and was known as the Fort Wayne High School and Manual Training School. Later, it became our Central High School. Labora- tories were included in the new school to accommo- date pupils studying sciences. The school was also supplied with manual training shops, domestic science rooms, and an art room. The new quarters seemed tc inspire changes in the course of study. The German course was lengthened from two to four years; an ex- tensive course in freehand drawing was organized; a four-year course in manual training for boys and n one-year course in domestic science and arts for girls were introduced. Due to the introduction of the voca tional courses the enrollment showed the greatest in- crease in the history of the schools. L. C. Ward, superintendent of the schools from 1920 to 1931, was appointed teacher in the high school in 1907 at a salary of 1,000 a year. The schools gradually became more popular and therefore more populated. Even as early as 1913 the school board was compelled to make plans for another new high school, which was to be known as South Side. It was opened in 1922. The high schools here began to offer experiences of the type connected more directly with life; it began paying more attention to the type of education that would be better for all the students. More electives were offered by both schools. Soon it was found that the two high schools were becoming overcrowded. It was decided that a high school was needed in the north part of Fort Wayne as that part was developing rapidly. North Side High School opened in 1927. The Totem this year is arranging its contents ac- cording to the time of entrance into secondary educa- tion of the various subjects found in our own curri- culum. Latin appeared in the very first school, the Boston Latin School, in 1635. Mathematics beyond arithmetic did not make its appearance in the Latin grammar school until after the academy had recog- nized it. The modern foreign languages, French and German, made their appearance in the academy. Sci- ence, too, appeared in the academy and developed rapidly in the earliest high schools. Though English was used in connection with trans- lations from the classical languages and found its way into the academy as a recognized subject, still it is the early high school which elevated it to an important position. Although history was listed in the academy and the early high school, expansion in civics and economics has been great in just recent years. About the next to be added were commercial subjects. Those subjects found in the academy were bookkeeping and mercantile law; it was the high school, however, stimulated by the development in private commercial schools, that gave these subjects wide recognition. Manual training made its appearance in the eighties, sometimes in high schools known as manual training high schools or in regular high schools. In the last half of the nineteenth century domestic science appeared in the curricula of several high schools. The names domestic economy and domestic art also were known. Although penciling and painting were listed in the early academy and in the early high school, art as it is known today as a subject, has only recently been recog- nized. The opening of the twentieth century has seen iTiusic given a place in secondary education. The fore- runner of health and physical education was physi- ology, which had appeared in the academy as early as the second quarter of the nineteenth century. By 1921, twenty-eight states had passed legislation on physical education, bearing upon both elementary and high schools. 124 THE TOTEM It is only fitting and proper that we should give a great deal of attention to cur schools. This year South Side has done something in nearly every branch of her curriculuin to observe the tercentenary. Many posters were made by our art students and were placed in our halls, in our classrooms, and reproduced in magazines. Sonia Velkoff made the prize-winning poster which depicted 300 years of American high schools. Her linoleum block design is now the official tercentenary seal of South Side High School. Orman Wagner, William Russell, Dick Dochterman, ?nd Charles Yahne united in making a mural decora- tive map showing the growth of the high schools in Fort Wayne. Geraldine Henline, William Russell, Robert Simminger, and Paul Sutterlin have contrib- uted many posters for the library. Lettering for vari- ous departments and for the general school exhibit was done by Robert Simminger, Orman Wagner, William Russell, Paul Sutterlin, Charles Yahne, John Worlins, Paul Pershing, Wayne Brown, Wayne Dahman, Lei Nolan, Louis Affolder, A. Bevington, Arthur Boerget. Lester Yo der, Norman Miller, Delbert Leininger, Thomas Houser, Paul Boyer, Bruce Bolinger, and Ray Howser. Some excellent posters were made by Frank Glusenkamp, Ann Hull, John Grandy, Joe Bailey, and Kenneth Ross. The South Side Times co-operated in giving publicity to our celebration of 300 years of Ainerican schools. It has published inany articles deal- ing with the various phases of the schools. To Miss Gertrude Oppelt we owe thanks for having supplied us with interesting bulletins for discussion in home rooms. Much of the information which has been printed in the Times was supplied by these bulletins. The tercentenary committee made up of Mr. Flint, chairman; Miss Oppelt, Miss Harvey, Miss Ley, Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Gould, have directed our observance this year of the tercentenary of secondary schools. Helen Allen and Bernadette Dygert complied with requests to write a history of our local high schools. Mr. Wilson, who issued the requests, co-operated with the two students and aided them in arranging the final set-up. Because of co-operation of inany of our teachers and students, South Side has successfully shown its appreciation of our high schools, which dare back 300 years. The Totem wishes to acknowledge the courtesy of the Journal of the National Education Association in furnishing four of the cuts found on pages 18, 19, and 20. Thanks to These Alumni By GERALDINE HENLINE Sheldon Hine The specimens of photographic art to be found on Pages 3, 6, 7, and 127 of this book are the work of Sheldon Hine, alumnus of South Side and one of the prominent photographers of Fort Wayne. He is em- ployed by the Lincoln National Life Insurance Com- pany, and his work often appears in the rotogravure section of the News-Sentinel. His pictures have been exhibited in national salons. Eugene Craig The interesting cartoons on the front and back end sheets of this Totem are the handiwork of Eugene Craig, salutatorian of South Side's class of '34. Gene was the Times cartoonist during his sojourn at South Side, and his clever cartoons were always much in demand for various other purposes also. He is now employed by the News-Sentinel in its art department. 125 THE TOTEM Top row, left to right: Pauline Crabill and Max Tritch eternally together; Max Crosley, golden gloves notable; Wayne Getts and one of his Fisher body coaches; Bob Locke, one of our juniors.
