Idowever. though the Archers won more games than they had the previous season. two of their losses were in city-series contests. Thus. for the hrst time in three successive years, the Green lost the city crown. Two of their three North- eastern Indiana Conference games were against city opponents. The Archers wound up in fifth place in the conference race with one win to their credit. A, Faux, F. Nleyers, N. Nliller. First Row: Ellenwood, Cv. Parmalee. H. Benz. B. Feichter. F. Nye. B.

In an attempt to cover up this defect, the Archers frequently resorted to an aerial attack. In their games against North Side and Central. the Arch- ers found this offensive weapon bottled upg and, as a result. could not gather the necessary scoring punch. Coach Lundy Welborn built his team around a few experienced veterans. Most valuable of these were the three linemen: Ellenwood at end. Nye at tackle. and Ostermeyer at center. In addition, Bud Lee at full- back turned in a good kicking job throughout the season. During their entire season, the Archers defeated Van Wert. Peru. Central Catholic. Columbia City, and 98 ': ':m' the ball to the three-yard line. However, four at- tempts carried the ball to the one-foot stripeg and South Side took possession of the ball on downs. On the following Saturday, Van Wert came to Fort Wayne to meet the Archers. The Green, however, proved themselves poor hosts by pushing over four touchdowns and making good on two extra-point at- tempts to win 26 to 0. They scored twice in the third period and twice in the final quarter. The Archers gained a complete variety of results for their first three games, a win, a loss, and a tieg then they bowed before the strong Mishawaka eleven, 18 to 0. The Maroon staged a second-quarter drive that netted them three touchdowns and the margin of victory. 1532257 T 1 .fsex Fred Nye THE TOTEM 1936 South Side passed its way to victory over Peru, 13 to 6. The game marked the first loss of the season for the Circus City squad. Their aerial attack work- ing almost to perfection, the Green completed eleven out of twelve attempts. South Side scored in the first quarter on a pass from Lee to Ellenwood. Lee place- kicked the extra point. In the second period, Peru scored on a long pass. After four passes had placed the ball in scoring position, Ellenwood scored again, this time on an end-around play. After a week's rest, South Side opened their city series competition with a Z5-to-7 victory over Central stituted his reserves, the Eagles then pushed over their lone marker. Central's Tigers swamped the Green 27 to 7, to gain an edge of one game in their thirteen-year rivalry. The Tigers scored midway in the first quarter, but South Side rallied to tie up the score in the second period. This touchdown marked the first time the Tigers had been scored upon all year. However, the Bengals redeemed themselves by scoring three more touchdowns, one in each quarter, to win by a wide margin. The Archers wound up their season on the right Jim Ellenwood Wayne Bennett Meri Norris Carl Brandt Fred Meyers Catholic. The Green pushed over a touchdown in each period, yielding long enough to allow the Irish to score in the closing minutes. North Side administered the First city series loss to the Green when they swamped the Kellyklads 26 to 7. The Archers took an early 7-to-0 lead but lost it when the Redskins ran rampant around their ends. South Side got back into the win column the fol- lowing Saturday with a 34-to-7 victory over Columbia City. This proved to be the Archers' only N. E. I. C. triumph of the season. With a large margin, provided by six touchdowns and a safety, Coach Welborn sub- ' l 6 iq Herman Makey Gordon Parmalee Morgan Harrison side of the ledger when they journeyed to Howe to meet the Military Academy team. They returned home with a 24-to-0 victory. After relying on passes all season, they turned to a running attack in this final game. This attack proved successful, the Green getting one score in the first period, two in the third, and one in the last. Near the close of the season, two Archer veterans, Ellenwood and Ostermeyer, were honored by being placed on the mythical All-City eleven. Fred Nye, South Side's captain, was chosen for a place of honor on the second team.

Unacquainted with South Side and South Side students, he staged a real basketball rodeo on our floor and amazed everyone when he roped many of his toughest games in his hrst year. With only two members of last season's varsity ten available to serve as a nucleus around which to build a team, Coach Burl Friddle, former Franklin College star and member of the immortal Franklin VVonder Five. assumed his duties at South Side with very poor prospects for a good season before him. Since he used a stvle of play different from that employed by Coach McClure, former Archer mentor, Coach Friddle spent most of the season drilling his charges on funda- mentals. He demanded the perfect execution of details on the part of every player. He stressed the development of an air-tight defense just as he had at Washington High where he produced the state championship squad of netters in 1930. The 1935-36 Archer net season was really a successful one. The Green played twenty-six tilts during the season. including a Christmas invitational meet and the sectional tournament. ln its twenty-six games the Green net aggregation scored 701 points while holding their opponents to a total of 626 markers. A total of thirty or more points were rung up on the Green on only four occasions during the entire season. The South Side netters were forced to relinquish their share of the N. E. I. C. title and the city scholastic title which they had held jointly with the Central Tigers. ln their debut, the Friddlemen humbled Butler's Windmills by the score of 38 to 17. Hall and Speaker, diminutive forwards, led the Green attack. On the next evening the Green journeyed to Michigan City where they received a 27-to-22 setback at the hands of the Red Devils. Coach Friddle used nine men in this con- test as he experimented in an effort to find the best combination of players. On the following weekend the Green divided their pair of N. E. I. C. conflicts. With a veteran team of Bluffton Tigers as their opponents, the Green were unable to stop an avalanche of baskets in the nrst half of the contest, and they subsequently bowed to the Wells County tossers by a 28-to-16 count. On the next evening the Archers played a greatly improved brand of ball as their accurate shooting smoth- ered the Auburn Red Devils 44 to 25. After a week of intensive drill on shooting to improve their sniping ability, the Archers hung up two more victories. Pierceton's Cubs were first to fall before the South Siders, whose last-half rally earned them a 39-to-25 decision. In their next encounter the Green marked up their initial city series victory as they downed Left: Don Reichert. Below: Norman Budde, Bud Lee, -lim Ellenwood, Joe Close. the Irish of Central Catholic 29 to 20. The Archer scoring was fairly well divided with Hines and Ellen- wood pacing their teammates with seven markers each. South Side's efforts in the Christmas invitational meet played on the southern hardwood went for noth- ing as they dropped both of their tilts. Playing a cautious style of ball, the Archers held their own against the Central Tigers for three quarters only to have the Blue and White basketeers score thirteen markers in a final period spurt to win by a 29-to-18 count. In the consolation game North Side's zone de- fense bothered the Green considerably, and the team fell before the Nulfmen by the score of 29 to 25. In the tilt with Central, Joe Close, Archer center, suffered a badly wrenched ankle, which kept him out of action for several weeks. Getting their January campaign under way, the Green engaged the North Side Redskins in what proved to be one of the most thrilling tilts of the season, the Redskins finally emerg- ing victorious by an 11-to-10 count. Two more defeats were marked up for the Green the following week as Kendallville and Decatur cap- tured N. E. I. C. tilts from the Green. Inability to stop Stamm, Shin- beckler, and Overdeer of the Co- lumbia City Eagles, as they went on a first-half scoring spree, cost the South Side netters another N. E. I. C. setback. Trailing Central by five points as the final period began, South Side's Archers staged as brilliant a rally as any in the preceding games be- tween South Side and the Tigers and won by a 29-to-25 score. Berne's Bears and Froebel of Gary nosed out close wins over the Green on the following weekend. The Friddlemen bounced back into the win column as they bested the Huntington Vikings 33 to 12. The Archers turned in two impressive exhibitions as they captured N. E. I. C. engagements from Hartford City by a 28-to-21 score and North Side by a 26-to-16 decision. Coach Mendenhall then led his basket toss- ers to a 32-to-21 victory over the Green in a tilt which gave the Tigers the N. E. I. C. crown and the city scholastic championship for the season. Goshen's Redskins measured the Friddlemen by a 30-to-26 counts. Central Catholic then suffered a 40- to-22 defeat at the hands of the Archers. The South Side netters concluded their regular schedule with a 22-to-8 win over Central of South Bend. Entering the sectional tourney, the Friddlemen ad- vanced to the finals. The Archers won over the Hoag- land Wildcats, champs of Allen county, and Wood- burn's entry 30 to 18 after a tight game. In the semi- Finals South Side's netters defeated Decatur 37 to 25. In the final game the Archers bowed to the Central Tigers after a hard-fought battle by the score of 50-23.

That game was not like our modern games of track, but in many ways ours may have been fostered by the older game. The Indian had to be fleet of foot and nimble before he could win his game.

At any rate, be it American or Greek, our South Siders played the game like champions. South Side's track squad, although hampered by a lack of new material and weak in comparison to teams X of previous years, made a X fairly good record for the past season. Building the team around a small num- ber of veterans and a min- imum of new material, C o a c h Lundy Welborn rounded out a well-balanced track club. The boys who came from last vear's squad were Bud ' Feichter, Charles Stone, Bill Epmeier, John Suelzer, Jim Dern, Porky Schoenefeld, Ed Leitz, Ed Kruse, Luther Q Procise, Ab Hinton, Bill Kruse, Ned Alexander, and Nelson Nliller. Getting started a little late in the season, the team did not attend the South Bend Indoor Relays or the State Indoor meet. The boys, however, dug their spikes in hard ro capture the first dual meet of the season with Goshen, 6613 to 33l3. L 'QS :NTU -lash 14.9.1451 L GAB!! be T. Peipenbrink, R. Geiger, C. Brandt, B.

THE TOTEM 1936 Club-Swinging He-Men From South Side They say that golf is a rich man's game. But not very many rich men would any longer have anything to do with the sport after just one or two games with our South Side golfers. Enjoying a very successful year, the golf team estab- lished the best record that any golf team in this school has ever had. In the entire 1935 season the Archers played 51 games, winning 39, tying 5, and losing 7. The team last year consisted of four members: Rob- ert Lohman, Sam Rea, Harold Schmidt, and Bob Fow- ler. The first game of the season was played on May 2 when the Archers tied with Elmhurst by the score of 3-3. On May 8 the Archers tied a fast Bluffton team with a score of 5 M-5Vg, South Side defeated the Hun- tington Vikings on May 9 by a margin of 9-2. Cn May 16 South Side defeated Bluffton by a score of 733-45-fi. On May Z2 the Green emerged victor over Huntington by the margin, 4-Z. The Archers again accepted an invitation to play at Syracuse in an annual tournament held there on May 11. The team placed second with Mishawaka, the score being very close, 346-34-8. This was a very good record, as there was a large number of excellent teams in the competition. Next, the Archers traveled to Bluffton where they engaged in a conference tournament. In this tourna- ment, the Archers came out victor with 346 to the nearest competitor's, Bluffton, 363. On May 31 South Side defeated Marion 10-2. On june 5 the Green played the final game of the season with Marion. This match resulted in a tie of 6-6. The lowest score of the season was seventy-eight, made by Harold Schmidt at the Brookwood Course. The four members that will make up this year's team are: Harold Schmidt, Ray Ballweg, Bill Stewart, and Eddie Reeves. The coveted position of number one man fell on the reliable shoulders of Harold Schmidt, who has been on the team ever since he entered South Side. Schmidt, because of his previous experience, has developed fine play under pressure. The second member of the team will be Ray Ballweg, a new member to the team. Al- though he has had little experience in tournament, the team will count on his services. The third position will be held tentatively by Bill Stewart. He also is a new- comer to the team. The fourth man will be Eddie Reeves. As Eddie is only a freshman, a great deal will be expected of him in future years rather than this year. The members of the present team will be at all times subject to challenge from any member of the school. The team has quite a heavy schedule this year as plans have been made for twelve matches and a partici- pation in the state high school tournament, which is to be held at Indianapolis on May 12. The team is looking to this meet with great hopes. Tournaments held in the city are generally played at the Foster Park BY BOB LOCKE Course or the Brool-:wood Course. The members who are to make up the team are selected in a tournament held each year at the beginning of the golf season. The four boys with the lowest scores make up the team. A member of the team must be on the team for four years in order to earn a regular varsity letter. ffI f 1i:' f ' - Dfw! - - JY .1Q. if:::. Qs - -a Q Top Row: Bob Bergel, Eddie Reeves, Bill Stewart.

The game, claim authorities, is one which develops muscles not exercised in other types of sports. The matches afford great enjoyment for the players and for the backers of the team as well. Although the team is made up of only a few members, it is a competitive affair, and since the team members are constantly open to challenge from any member of the school, they are forced to keep in excellent form and are also compelled to train thoroughly and faithfully. Most of the members of the 1936 team have had a number of years, experience in playing golf, many of them gaining their first experiences with the game of golf through caddying at nearby courses. As all who have tried their hand at the game know, many hours of diligent practice are necessary before one may become proficient at the game. It is for these reasons that the members of the athletic depart- ment of South Side have decided to classify this sport as a major, varsity sport. So our golfers really have to get out and work, pos- sibly dig up the turf a little, and make a scientific af- fair of this thing called golf. They are not dubs at the game, but make those scores that we sometimes dream about. 103 THE TOTEM 1936 Soup To Nuts Is The Intramural Menu Did you ever sit in the gymnasium at lunch time. waiting for the next class, and wonder what those fellows out on the floor, clad in suits resembling 'iB.V.D's, were doing chasing around the floor after a round ball and throwing it at hoops. That, in case someone hasn't told you, is the game of basketballg and those boys were probably playing a game in one ofthe many intramural tournaments. Cross country not only introduced the intramural sport sea- son, but also ushered in an entirely new enthusiasm for intra- mural sports. Approximately eight hundred boys have taken part in minor sports this year in spite of the fact that raising the points required for letters from 100 to 125 did not daunt the boys who are interested in these sports. Louis A. Brimer, boys' physical education director, designated the period from September 14 to October 17 for the twenty-five entrants of the cross country team to train themselves for the last run which would determine the winners. The honors were carried off by Robert Klotz and Clarence Elliott in the heavy- weight division, and Robert Ferguson and Don Bazzenett in the lightweight class. At the first meeting of the intramural athletes held in Septem- ber, one hundred twenty-five boys signed for tag football. The boys were divided in two classes, heavyweight and lightweight. Nine teams signed in the heavyweight class, while three entered the lightweight division. In both classes the tournament was hotly contested. In the heavyweight class, the Archers and the Chumps were running neck and neck. The Archers finally won. In the lightweight division, the Spartans won the championship, with the Bad- gers closely trailing them. The sport of tag football, by the increase of thirty parti- 1-landball-A, Kelso, H.

Volleyball again was a very popular intra- mural sport. During the entire volleyball season 162 boys took part. The number of teams entered totaled 23. The teams were given a chance to practice each day during the fifth period. After the teams had drilled for several weeks, Mr. Briner announced that a tournament would be played. The tourna- ment lived up to the expectations. All of the games were well contested. In the final fray the Cardinals defeated the Archers in the heavyweight division, while the Spartans de- feated the Dukes for the lightweight cham- pionship. Fall tennis proved to be a popular sport, although it was hard to play off the matches due to inclement weather. An interesting and popular feature of the tournament was the indoor court used during wet weather. Altogether thirty-eight boys took part in the tournament, twenty in the heavyweight class and eighteen in the lightweight division. Hubert Klopfenstein won the championship in the heavy class when he took a close match from Ercher. In the lightweight, Al- len Garrison emerged victorious without much trouble. Albert Hinton won the heavyweight golf championship, while Edward Reeves ran off with the lightweight title. There were only ten contestants. Boxing, as usual, was a tremendous suc- cess. Due to the possibilities of injuries, no ofiicial tournament was staged, but those who wished to enter a small contest were permit- ted to do so. Titles were won by Blanks, Durbin, Bosserman, Feichter, Zehr, and Squires. Wrestling also proved to be popular. Sev- enty-six boys competed during the season, which lasted six weeks. Titles were taken by Hargan, Grifhn, Bosserman, Feichter, and Miller. Foul throwing rated high on the popular- ity list this year, by attracting seventy par- ticipants. John Allen won the heavyweight league, tossing in fifty-eight fouls out of a possible eighty. Clyde Nussbaum stood out in the lightweight division, making fifty-six out of a possible eighty. The handball tournament, which was held in the cellar just to the west of the gym- nasium, was split in three divisions, 100 pounds and under, 100 to 120 pounds, and 120 pounds and over. The lightweight divi- sion was won by Don Kolkman. The middle- weight class was taken by Nussbaum, and the heavyweight by Kelso. 104 The bowling tournament, which was held at Scott's bowling alleys, held more interest than usual. Eleven boys were present to break up the pins, but it was Robert Klotz who succeeded in hitting the cen- ter for strikes and spares the most times. Basketball proved to be the most popular sport of the entire intra- mural program. Sixty-four teams with a total of three hundred twenty- four players took part. The heavy- weights were divided into ten leagues of four teams each. Each team played three games in its league. The highest from each league en- tered the finals, which were in the form of a direct elimination contest. The Archers, a smooth - clicking squad, walked away with the heavy- weight championship. In the middleweight class the same system was used with fifteen teams divided into three leagues. The In- dians tomahawlced their way through this league with comparative ease. The lightweight division consisted of nine teams, which were divided in two leagues. The round-robin sys- tem was employed, and the Name- less carried away the honors. For spring sports Mr. Briner of- fered track, tennis, golf, and base- ball. There were many entrants in these activities as the spring weather made everyone want to get out-of- doors and enjoy himself. Mr. Briner introduced intramural sports when he First came to South Side in the fall of 1929. Wrestling-First Row: H. Ertel, K. Mil- ler, F. Knight, E. Grifiin, B. Miller, Bosserman.

Then in the doubles Leona Menze and Margaret Ruhl triumphed over Mary Ellen Blau- velt and Betty Eisenacher for the school crown. ln the first major sport of the year. Pauline Molin's freshman speedball team became the champion. ln the hockey tournament Marge l'lower's senior team won the junior-senior honors, and Barbara Raymond's team came out first for the sophomores. Dorothy Bloemkerys volleyball team was the freshman champ, Betty Eisenacher's was the sophomore champ, and Marge l lower's was the junior-senior winner. Of course, in the winter everyone fixed her atten- tion on basketball. In some very interesting tourna- ments, Norma Martin and Virginia Menzeis teams tied for frosh honors, Eleanor Rarick and Betty Eisen- acher's teams tied for sophomore honors, and Marge I-lower's won the junior-senior title. 106 I M XV.

A very large turnout and a very good time was had in tumbling, baseball, and track. This year for the first time in its history the G. A. A. held a swimming meet at the Y. W. C. A. The many startling performances helped to make it a suc- cess. Individual honors went to Marjorie Hower with 20 points, Betty Jo Wilkinson with 18 points, and Vir- ginia Porter and Barbara Scheele with 11 points each. The class standings were sophomores 2992 points, freshmen 28 points, seniors 20 points, and juniors 195 points. The very capable judges were Miss Hilda Schwehn, Miss Mary Jane Helpling, Miss Mar- garet Suiegel, Mrs. Kathryn Clem, Miss Gretchen Smith, and Miss Alice Patterson. One of the most outstandin events of the first semester was the Halloween party. Prizes were award- ed to Martha Franz for the prettiest costume, Doris Duffy and Velma Connett for the funniest, and Gwen Roberts for the most original. There was a very en- joyable program given which included a humorous THE TOTEM 1936 skit in the form of a mock wedding between Miss G. A. A. and Good Sportsmanship. Miss Smith and Miss Patterson also did very well in an im- promptu dance to the strains of the Blue Danube. The rest of the eve- ning was spent in social dancing and refreshments. This year some very important amendments to the G. A. A. constitu- tion were made. They are: flj A swimming meet will be held once a year in the fall. The points are to be awarded in the same manner that track points are awarded. Q21 All second semester students entering school will retain their athletic standings as fol- lows: 10B students will remain with the freshmen, 11B students will remain with the sophomores, and all 12B stu- dents will remain with the juniors. Bl Beginning with the South Side Annual Recognition Service of May, 1936, the required number of points for a letter is 1500 points, Another phase of the physical educa- tion ,department is the Student Leaders' training class.

The annual G. A. A. Recognition Service was held in January. It was opened with a talk on sportsmanship, and Ruth Berning read the Law of Sportsmanship.

A. member, made a speech for the girls. This year another club was added to the physical education department. It is lcnown as the South Side Lettergirls' Club, and any girl who has earned her letter S through G. A. A. is eligible for membership. Tts purpose is to further an interest in the origin and development of athletics and the part women have played in itg also it is to act as a booster club for the G. A. A. The club members put on a pep session before the Central game. It also had a very enjoyable and suc- cessful sl-:ating party. The officers who assisted in piloting the G. A.

Miss Patterson and Miss Smith, faculty advisers, who are always willing and ready to help, greatly aided the oflicers. The Dude Ranchll was the theme of the vaudeville which was given by the music and girls' physical edu- cation departments. Ir was one of the most colorful affairs staged. The characters were cowboys and cow- girls from the ranch, cinema stars from Hollywood, and Indians from a neighboring reseravtion. The cowboys were dressed in chaps and ten gallon hats, and the girls in plaid shirts and split skirts. The cinema stars, who danced, sang, and played musical instruments, wore either formals or sport clothes. The Indians wore the traditional costumes of the Indian maidens, but they came back later in shorts, in great contrast with their former costumes. The entire pro- duction was under the direction of Miss Smith, Miss Patterson, and Mr. Wainwright. Another performance put on by the physical educa- tion department was the annual exhibition.

The girls taking part in these wore the traditional Scotch clothing. There was also some natural dancing, creative dancing, and modern gymnastics. A Russian folk dance done in Russian costumes was a great attraction. There was a ballet dance, a tap dance by the dance club, a short basketball game, and musical stairs. Of course the ever welcome tumblers made a bright Spot in the program. This was under the direc- tion of Miss Patterson and Miss Smith. THE TOTEM 1936 First Row: B. Griffith, E. Huston, E. Habig, N.

The photographs on pages 1, Z, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, ll, 12, 128, and other pages are his handi- work. Ar the right is pictured this South Side alumnus who has done much for this year's Totem. He has made possible some of the beautiful fea- ture photographs in this book. Mr. I-line is a modest person and won't admit of his greatness. Nevertheless, he has and certainly will continue to bring fame in photographic circles to Fort Wayne. 120 Thick Weather, a photograph by Sheldon Hine, pictured at left is a photograph with a history. Ir was talcen on a foggy night in January, 1935, at Clay Street and the Nickel Plate Railroad crossing. Since then it has been exhibited at the following International Salons of Pictorial Photography: Pitts- burgh, Pa., Princeton, N. J., Port- land, Maineg Midland, England, Toylco, Japan, San Antonio, Texas, Detroit, Mich., Dundee, Scotland, Wilmington, Delaware. Ir has been published in U, S. Camera, All- American Photographic Annual, representing about 150 of the out- standing photographers in America. Ir is included in the U. S. Camera traveling salons which have been shown in most of the larger cities in North America, the British Isles, and Continental Europe. The Museum of Science and In- dustry of Chicago has recently re- quested a print of it for their per- manent collection of photographs.

She was a pretty little girl, but she cu wanted us to make her look like Greta Garbo in the picture. OD It wasn't that Greta Garbo isn,t good looking. She . E is. But this little girl was not Greto's type, much as she 1-56 would probably have liked to have been, and she was much F prettier as just herself. So we photographed her just as she asked-well, almost as she asked. We took one picture Greta Garbo style and didn't do so bad. Then we persuaded her to try a straight- faced front view that mothers and dads like. And then a beautiful picture of this pretty little girl in an extreme, but lovely, pose. She didn't buy the Greta Garbo photo of herself even though, as I have said, we did a good job of imitating Greta. She ordered fourteen pictures. Two were the straight- faced, front view photographs, and twelve were our crea- tion--a beautiful photograph of the real girl-not cheap flattery but a picture that looked like herself. And she was proud to own it. For we know that everyone needs a little Hattery now and then-and we know when to stop. We can duplicate this feat with you or your friends. We can make you look like Clark Gable or Myrna Loy, but best of all we can make you look like YOU!

But here is one that doesn't. Mr. Snider makes time. He makes time easy or hard, long or short, for his students. Not that he is a tough old principal. He is young and we like him! Timekeeper Clocl-:Winder Figuratively, we have a ciockwinder in our midst. Not that our clocks need wind- ing. We have electric clocks that don't. But we have schools that can't run without someone behind them to give them the power to keep ticking. Mr. Merle I.

The faculty recognized the value of these activities and became quite interested in them. As a result, there are now thirty-seven clubs which cover al- most every held of activity in which the student may be interested. The breath-taking career of The South Side Times was begun on October 6, 1922. under the direction of Miss Rowena Har- vey. The Best 1-ligh School Paper in the United States offers a striking contrast to the four-page sheet of five columns pub- lished fourteen years ago. Miss Harvey is one of the busiest persons in South Side, as she is the faculty adviser of 1500 Club, Times, Totem, and Booster Club. The First basketball team, coached by Mr. Gilbert started out by defeating Shorrridge 8-7 on December 8, 1922. From that time up to the present time, South Side has always had a championship team. Last fall Nlr. McClure relinquished his position as coach to Burl Friddleg and the team built up an ex- cellent record in spite of the newness of the school and boys to lN1r. Friddle. Then, too, there is our football team which has had an enviable record under the coaching of Mr. Gilbert and Lundy Welborn. In the fourteen years on the gridiron, South Side has won seven city series cham- pionships. Miss Patterson, who came to South Side in 1924, and Miss Smith, who came in 1931, are in charge of the G. A. A. The senior girl earning the highest num- ber of points during her four years in high school has her name inscribed on a plaque. The G. A. A.

The art department is of invaluable service to the various other branches of school activity. Under the capable direction of Miss Ley and Miss Dochterman the classes have assisted in promoting such projects as the safety campaign by making posters. Miss Ley started the first art club in the city schools. Miss Doch- terman is developing an art library for the public schools of material given by the Carnegie Foundation. Since the introduction of public speaking into the curriculum of South Side, the enrollment in this course has grown considerably. At first there was one class with only twenty-one students, while at the present time there are four classes with an average enrollment of thirty. Since the school has not entered into inter- scholastic debating, student speaking in school, church, and civic clubs has been encouraged. Public speaking activities within the school include the semi- annual extemp contest, f r e s h man - sophomore speech contest, and the local state discussion con- test. Wranglers, a pub- lic speaking club, is con- ducted under the direc- tion of Miss Dorothy Benner, and only those who have taken public speaking are eligible to join. Several new teachers were engaged at South Side this year. Miss Mary Pocock, a new English teacher, is the first grad- uate from South Side to receive a teaching posi- THE TOTEM 1936 Left to Right: Mr. Murch, Miss Covalt, Mr. Furst, Mr. Windmiller, and Mr. Parks. tion here. Mr. Stuart Monroe, a member of the grad- uating class of '25, and Mr. Leslie Reeves, a former teacher at Lafayette Central, have been added during the year to the manual training department. Mr. Burl Friddle, coach at Washington High School at Wash- ington, Indiana, for ten years, has succeeded Mr. H. McClure as coach of the basketball team. He has been assisted by Mr. Maurice Tudor, a former teacher at Harrison Hill grade school. Mr. Tudor takes care of athletic supplies and acts as a scout by looking over the various basketball teams. The number of faculty members has increased in the past fourteen years from thirty-nine to sixty-nine, of which thirty are men and thirty-nine are women. There are seven teachers of science, eight of social science, two art, sixteen English, six foreign language, four manual training, three home economics, five com- mercial, four physical education, eight mathe- - matics, one journalism, one public speaking, one music, and one dramat- ics. This remarkable staff has graduated almost twenty-five hundred stu- dents. - . H., Mr. Snider, the princi- pal, came to South Side from James H. Smart in the fall of 1926. He at- tended Ball State Teach- ers College at Muncie and received his M.A. degree at Columbia Uni- versity. Besides being general supervisor of the school, Mr. Snider has charge of the extremely diH'icult task of scheduling classes. He was recently honored by being elected President of the State Schoolmen's Club, Miss Pittenger has been with South Side since it was built. She attended Indiana University and received her B.A. degree at Columbia University. Some of her duties are overseeing all faculty commit- tees, taking care of extra-curricular activi- ties, organizing the health work for the school doctor, and acting as dean of girls. Miss Alderdice came here in 1930 after graduating from Central High School :nd working two years at Hoagland school. She takes care of files and rec- ords, rents caps and gowns, sells invita- tions, takes care of locker distribution, holds money for clubs, issues school passes, and does general oHice work. Miss Montgomery was graduated from South Side in 1930 and started to work here the following year. She has charge of the study hall and handles absences. Several of our teachers have been kept busy acting as advisers for the three upper classes. Miss Van Gorder and Mr. Flint have acted as sponsors for the sophomores and aided in plans for the annual sophomore party. Miss Miller and Mr. Whelan, the junior class advisers, were in charge of the banquet, which was in November, and the prom, which was in May. Miss Fiedler and Mr. Chappell, who are in charge of the senior class, headed the plans for the fun fest and the senior dance. Many of the teachers do odd jobs around school which greatly aid in keeping such a large institution functioning. Some of these teachers are Mr. Hull, who has charge of the bookstore, and Mr. Furst, who assists himg Mr. Parks, who takes care of the cafeteria books for all three high schools, Miss Rehorst, who helps make costumes for various projectsg and Mr. Murch, who is the school bookkeeper.

BY GWENDOLYN HORN When four hundred freshmen came tripping into South Side four short years ago, they were green to everything . . . even to the wonderful season of their life which lay before them. Gradually, their color changed until in four years they became the ripe, old, and dignified seniors they were supposed to be. But, somehow, this doesn't fit us. Maybe we did change color, and no doubt we were freshmen of the vivid green type, but we just can,t feel as pretentious, as dignified as we are supposed to bel Together, we have passed practically identical milestones. We passed through all the first-year agonies, embarrassments, thrills, and tortures of recitations, eighth periods, con- tacts with dean and principal, and disheartening experiences of losing our way in the laby- rinth of halls. As sophomores, we risked calling freshmen Ugreeniesv and acting as if we owned the school. We proudly sauntered down the halls and received with an outward appearance of non- chalance but an inward tremor, the title of Upperclassmen in our junior year. And now that we are seniors, we feel rather unnecessary, almost as if our work is done and the aspiring younger members of our school should be the ones to look up to. Nevertheless we leave with the hope that we have upheld to the best of our ability the standards set up for us by our predecessors, but also, with another hope-that the future classes will even raise those standards. Since our first year at South Side, our so cial activities have been the most joyful outlet from our compulsory duties, consisting of daily classes and study periods. In our second year, we erased some of our superficial sophistication and became kids again at the sophomore party. The majority of us donned knee breeches, ruffled pet- ticoats, and hair ribbons to eat all-day suck ers and play cat and mouse and drop the hankyf, We cannot forget such joyous occasions as that. The age of chivalry blossomed forth in full array at the Junior Prom. Instead of running around in bow ties and long curls, we became knights and ladies. All the frills and furbelows befitting a junior prom were displayed at this important event. The event we shall remember for years to come, was the Senior Dance. It was our fare- well get-together. Everyone of us now has a feeling of greatness over the fact that we have reached graduation, yet, there is that touch of sadness which comes over us when we realize that we are to be separated. We may be forgotten by the faculty, we may be forgotten by the other classesg but we will never be forgotten by one another-For we have spent four momentous years together! The gentleman who poses as representative of the freshman class on the preceding page is our own jim Ellenwoocl at a slightly younger stage in life. The part of the sophomore-who-would-be great-is taken by Dicky Bonsib, small brother of our editor. Maxine Rippe is the junior class rep- resentative who not only plays the part, but is the part as well. MARK TIME FOR THE SENIORS! First Column ANN ABBETT . Philo . Art Meterites .. Wranglers .

The chief executive, President Jerry Zehr, aided by Vice-President Ned Henslee, Secretary Virginia Fathaur, and Social Councilmen Jean Creighton, Richa ard Dent, and Robert Storm, had a very successful administration, finishing up with a fine Junior Prom. The class and its leaders feel much appreciation for the willing services rendered to them by the junior class advisers, Nliss Miller and Mr. Whelan. A toast to them-may they carry on.

Congratulations, jun- iors, for such a fine number of dramatists. It is well to get an early start in this field. The Junior Banquet and Prom are two very promi- nent aifairs which stand high in the social activities of the school in general. In former years, these affairs were held on the same night, generally in May, this year, however, a new custom of having the banquet in November has been started. On November 22, the juniors held this banquet, a Pumpkin Pow Wow. One hundred ninety-five attended as injuns. The decorations were in keeping with the theme of the affair. The lights in the cafeteria were covered with black and yellow cardboard shades covered with cel- lophane. The center pieces on the table were attrac- tively hollowed-out pumpkins hlled with fruit. Speakers at the banquet were given titles coinciding with the theme, Pumpkin Pow Wow. Merle Abbett spoke as Gitche Manitogn R. Nelson Snider as Mud- jekeewisf' Reginald Gerig and Kathleen Witmer as Cando Wankiwa.,' Leona Menze acted as Prophet of the Nationf' Reading the Totem was given by Vernon Miller and Words of Wisdom by Miss Pit- tenger. Clever entertainment in the form of an ama- teur hour was given by Helen Gray, a dancer, Donald Sinish and William Schafer, dramatistsg Maxine Rippe and Bob Augspurger, singers, Donald Sparkman and Company, strolling players.

The juniors chose Southern Cruisei' for the name and theme of their Prom held May 1 in the school gymnasium. Music for the dancing was provided by The Baron of Blues. Decorations in keeping with the theme of the dance were most clever and effective. Those on the dance floor were on the deck of a huge ship looking out to sea, which was realistically inhabited by schools of fish, groups of sea gulls, and sailboats here and there. At one doorway was placed a lighthouse surrounded by rocks. The orchestra was made to look very much a part of the ship, in front of it was a binacle and wheel. A fish net of blue crepe paper hung over the ship. A ship,s lantern, suspended in the center, illuminated the ship whose gay crews were looked down up by the night sky filled with stars. Delightful favors were given to the guests on this Southern Cruise. On the cover of these program-favors, a lighthouse was pic- tured with a sailboat sailing jauntily by. The sailboat was an attractive dress ping the deck of the boat is ivory, some having gold sails and others silver. The chaperons were Mr. and Mrs. Merle Abbett, Mr. and Mrs. R. Nelson Snider, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Bex, Mr. and Mrs. L. Creighton, Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Dent, Mr. and Mrs. H. F.

South Side sophomores pop up in most unexpected places-on the Times, in dramatics, in all sorts of school groups. Among the sophs can be found athletes, yell-men, tap dancers, and even a stray master of ceremonies. The quality of any group is reflected in its officers. The class of 1938 evidently is fine, for it has excellent leaders. John Hines, a popular basketball star, was chosen president of the class. Julia Crabill, vice- president, ably assisted him in his executive duties. Paul lVlcConnell performed the secretarial worlc. Joan Bonsib, Barbara Raymond, and James Roth comprised the social council. Miss Pauline Van Gorder and Mr. A. Verne Flint enthusiastically and capably advised the executive committee on all class activities. The annual sophomore party was especially enjoy- able this year. The class officers and their committees, with the unfailing assistance of the advisers, worked Left to right: Jim Roth, Julia Crabill, Barbara Raymond, Paul McConnell, Miss Van Gorder, Nlr.

Scholarship is the first and most important requisite. No pupil should work for merely grades, but his success is generally measured by them. Thirty-two students earned average grades of ninety percent or over. These honor pupils are Joe Bell, Joan Bonsib, Morris Boyce, Ina Claire Chappell, Helen Cox, Frances Craig, Phyllis Culver, Oscar Eggers, Gwen Everson, Betty Garton, Ruth Gerber, Lillian Guntzen- hauser, Evelyn Heine, Ruth Henline, John Hines, .lack Horn, LaVerne DeKeel, Joan Kennedy, Harold Krauslcopf, Elizabeth Linhart, Helen C.

This council promoted poster campaigns, stu- dent assemblies, and talks in the interest of greater safety. The sophomore members were Jim Phelps, Ina Claire Chappell, Beatrice Fudge, Hollis Logue, Hilda Spangle, Martha Ann Bacon, Natalie Brennan, Mary Nicolai, Dwight Frost, Ann Hull, Dick LaMar, Elizabeth Ann Neff, and Jack Stumph. Many of the second-yearlings entered journalistic pursuits by working on the Times staff. Several of these have earned membership in the 1500 Club. They are Helen Cox, Don Helm, Joan Bonsib, Ina Claire Chappell, Phyllis Culver, Beatrice Fudge, Leslie John- son, Betty Pugh, and Betty Lee Wilson. Others on the Times staff are Bob Schaaf, Joe Bell, Joan Kennedy, LeVerne DeKeel, Oscar Eggers, Betty Garton, Betty Davenport, Frances Craig, Mervyne Bohne, Martha Zelt, Vivian Woods, Barbara Arney, Ruth Henline, Lillian Guntzenhauser, Ann Peters, Martha Ann Ba- con, Eleanor Vesey, Julia Crabill, and Margaret Gross. Ever fascinating, dramatics has enticed future stage and screen stars from the class of 1938. Dramatic pupils must take one semester of class work before they are eligible for initiation in the Student Players' Club. No credit toward graduation is given. Student Player members are Martha Zelt, Marjorie Turner, Joan Bonsib, Beatrice Fudge. Billie Mauk, Dalton Mc- Alister, Ann Winters, Betty Pugh, Martha Ann Bacon, Elizabeth Lickert, Tom Sellers, Margaret Ann Ruckle, Ann Peters, Oscar Eggers, Betty Lee Wilson, Mar- jorie Mitten, Elizabeth Ann Neff, Arno Schelper, Eleanor Monesmith, and Dick Kaiser. Speak effectively. Rise above the babble of the crowd. This is the slogan of a well-known radio pro- gram. The public speaking department of South Side helps students do this very thing. In addition to regu- lar classes, numerous speaking contests are sponsored. One of these is the Freshman-Sophomore speech con- test. The six sophomore winners were Leslie Johnson, Allen Garrison, LaVerne DeKeel, Kathleen Witmer, and Dalton McAlister. These and the frosh winners later competed in a Final contest. Dalton McAlister also won the right to represent South Side in the an- nual city-wide contest sponsored by the Rotary Club. The decorations for the annual Wranglers' Dance were in charge of a sophomore, Ann Winters, this year. The theme was Midnight on Manhattanii and Ann and her committee very effectively decorated the room in this motif. Some sophomores assisting her were Dalton McAlister, Ina Claire Chappell, Marjorie Turner, Alice Jean Karn, Mary K. Connell, Maria Haven, and Nancy Lou Wermuth. Sophomore boys were more prominent in varsity athletics than ever before. Several have already de- veloped into exceptional players, and many others are destined to become stars. Those who were necessary to the basketball organization are John Hines, Carl Hall, Harold Kitzmiller, Earl Kramer, Dick Frazell, Lonnie Kirtz, Frank Belot, Dave Howell, Dave Stoner, and Don Berry.

BONSIB, JR., EDITOR BRYCE MINIER, BUSINESS MANAGER ROWENA HARVEY, FACULTY ADVISER f NV THE TOTEM 1936 As usual, intramural sports called many boys. Many of them were especially outstanding. Cheer leaders sprang up in abundance in the course of the ycar. Dscar Eggers, Paul McConnell, Dick Ko- walski, and john Leach have begun to learn to inject pep into rooters at the games. They are already quite popular, and there are signs of bright futures for them. Dalton lVlcAlister is prominent in still another activ- ity. He acts as master of ceremonies at assemblies, making announcements, introducing speakers, and amusing the students with his witty remarks. All kinds of activities interest members of the class of 1938. Two popular dancers are Jacqueline Hench and Virginia lVlacNamara. They charm audiences at tea dances, assemblies, and club meetings with their ability and grace. Sports have called a larger number of girls than has any other organization. The Girls' Athletic Asso- ciation is to further sports activities in South Side. Basketball, volleyball, and dancing are only a few of its activities. A letter is awarded when an individual has earned 1500 points. Due to the high standards now in force, it is practically impossible for a girl to earn her letter while a sophomore. Nevertheless, sev- eral are quite active and will have them soon. Members of the Girls' Athletic Association from the class of 1938 are Ellen Addington, Anita Affolder, Martha Ann Bacon, Margaret Beck, Mary Ellen Blau- velt, Vivian Blum, Mervyn Bohne, Evelyn Bradbury, Betty Broderick, Eldora Buesking, M.

This sophomore class deserves the greatest compli- ments on its achievements. It has set new records for being an all-around good group. The students that compose it are a number of hard-working people. They tackle their problems with enthusiasm. Every progressive enterprise finds their willing and capable assistance. They know their weak points and are ever trying to improve them. Generally speaking, they are not a group of egotistical, self-engrossed pupils, for they are eager to co-operate. This fact is unusual. Sophomores are, according to high school tradition, supposed to acquire the big headu this year. But not this bunch of sophomores they had the big head long ago,-ahead of the rest, they got it when they were freshmen! Top Row: Helen E.

Some have brought fame to themselves while others have just trudged along the common road. The year of nineteen-thirty-six has brought to South Side a group of fresher, greener, and peppier freshmen than ever before. Club work has not taken up all of their time, however, because our frosh have a very fine record in their scholastic work. An average of ninety or above IHLISE be reached before a person may have the privi- lege of being on the honor roll, and fifty industrious boys and girls have worked hard in order to gain the In this list we find Ruth Bade, Ernest Bailey, Banks, Joe Bex, Andrew Bremer, Marjorie Oppenlander, Florence Oransky, Bill Peters, Kathleen Romer, Marjorie Rapp, Dela Rauner, Eddie Reeves, Eugene Schmidt, Warren Scheuler, Ralph Thompson, Henry Velkoff, Eleanor Vesey, Janet Warren, Jean Weaver. Richard Weaver, Charles Will, and Leon Yaggv- 'lhe freshmen have also gained another honor by winning the plaque for the highest average of the en- tire school. Miss Hemmer's home room won this honor for the freshmen with the average of 6. Those students who are members of the winning room are Mildred Franz, Rena Foster, Harold Fremion, Frank Harp, Jack Gross, Vivian Gebhart, Donna Fautz, Dixie Lee Hanna, Ralph Hamilton, Betty Hambrock, Wfilliam Hall, Dorothy Voght, Marjorie Funk, Roger Harfiig, Charles Hall, Lois Hageman, Virginia Ann Gruber, William Fremion, Beverly Ann Griffith, Max- ine Greiner, Bernita Gregory, Richard Goshorn, Herb- ert Glass, Willard Gibson, Robert Gerke, Dorothy Gerdom, Gilbert Gerbers, Anna Gerig, Richard Gar- ton, David Fyock, and William Fabian.

These two clubs have contributed, beyond a doubt, their full share of happiness to our class of nineteen forty. The G.A.A. offers many different sports for the girls. Speedball and tennis are the favorite sports in the fall, while volleyball, basketball, and tumbling are usually the tops in winter. In spring, baseball and track are of the foremost interest in the minds of the athletic mindedf, The girls who have faithfully participated in sports this year are Eileen Huston, Mary Henchen, Imogene Fabian, June Enoch, Catherine Burrell, Dor- othy Braun, JoAnne Bradley, Marcella Brackmen, Betty Bolyard, Dorothy Bloemker, Helen Jane Blanks, Vera Jane Wells, Owen Roberts, Frieda Schubert, Sara Smelrzer, Vera Berning, Joan Korte, Juanita Likens, Delores Menefee, Virginia Menze, Nadine Mueller, Mary Moffett, Pauline Molin, Tribby Muel- ler, Betty Minneker, Mary Melching, Sara Meily, Norma Marlin, Betty Ellingwood, Mary Grifhth, Helen Guipinger, Betty Neeb, Virginia Porter, Mar- gery Papp, Della Rauner, Lois Rea, LaVerne Reed, Doris Reinking, Mary Rison, Dorothy Ringinberg, Thelma Roberson, Margaret Wittmer, Clara Wander- ly, Imogene Xvright, Olive Zagr, Marian Oberkiser, Velda Oppenlander, Katherine Patterson, Pauline Oetting, Marjorie Wallace, Marcia Steir, Mary Straley, Marjorie Stalter, Mildred Thayer, Nancy Valiton, Edna Volz, Jeanette Warren, Betty Daniels, Marjorie Craig, Betty Crune, Janice Cross, Wilma Carrier, Donna Dennis, Marjorie Clapp, Mary Armstrong, Mildred Franz, Rena Foster, Vivian Gebhart, Dixie Lee Hanna, Betty Hambrock, Dorothy Voght, Mar- jorie Funk, Virginia Ann Gruber, Beverly Ann Grif- fith, Ruth Kaiser, Phyllis Kaiser, Luella Liff, Alma Korte, Rosela Keehler, Ethelda Koch, C'Lily Kensler, bflary Jane Kelly, Mary Lampton, Velma Lehman, Eileen Hoffman, June Holzworth, Doris Hilbush, and Evelyn Kruse. The boys who do not go out for varsity sports can easily get their daily dozenn by participating in the intramural Sports. Mr. Briner has capably organized the boys into tennis, football, volleyball, baseball, handball, wrestling, and boxing teams. The freshman boys who are interested in intramural sports are Rob- ert Miller, Calvin Stocks, Kenneth Warren, Lewis Davis, Albert Ferguson, Russell Crumrine, Jack Gross, Charles Hall, Roger Haefily, Gwen Jenkins, Maurice Lehman, Elroy Miller, Arthur Miller, Keith McPher- son, Luther Hirshy, Leonard Weinraub, Kenneth Zuber, Andrew Bremer, Arnold Flaig, Robert Fer- guson. Varsity competition has also taken their stars from the frosh. Ray Speaker easily made the varsity bas- ketball team. He played in almost all of our games and was on sectional tournament ten.', Ray has a bright future ahead of him in basketball because of his speed, accuracy, and good guarding. Harrison Hill gave South Side a grand player this year in the form of Jim Glass. Jim came to South Side in February and immediately went out for basketball.

It would almost seem as if sports were the only in- terest of our industrious freshmen, but there are many other activities which beckon the interests of our younger ones. Miss Benner sponsored a Freshman- Sophomore Speech Contest which took the interest of many of our freshmen. Those freshmen who par- ticipated in the finals are Aloe Bex, Karl Goebel, Allen Garrison, Janice Cross. and Frieda Schubert. journalistic recognitions are also in store for many of our youngsters, and the Times has already appre- ciated their ambitions. Fritz Lohman, Eddie Reeves, Eleanor Vesey, Margaret Gross, Lois Rea, Florence Oransky, Marjorie Lou Wickes, Janice Cross, Betty Jaebker. Lorraine lba, and Marjorie Wallace have generously contributed their services to the Times. In the last few years the music department of our school has improved a great deal, and the interest of our pupils has been the inspiring motive. Mr. Wain- wright has made the department very interesting and offers many opportunities for those people who are interested in music. There is an unusually large num- ber of freshmen who showed interest in music this year. The band, orchestra, and glee clubs have had the services of the following freshmen: Morton Nahr- Wald, James Hume, Randolph Jacobs, Dorothy Hall, Shirley Carman, Emilou Allendorph, Dorothy Am- stutz, Bryce Augsburger, and Bruce Bradbury. Among the other clubs in South Side there are many which are open to freshmen. Both boys and girls who Top Row: Betty Neeb, Roger Neff, Mary Ann Newell, are interested in their future in South Side have the opportunity to join many various and interesting clubs. The Meterite Club is open to 9B, 9A, and 10B girls who like and enjoy the study of literature. Girl Re- serves are also represented among the younger girls by the U. S. A. Miss Kelley and Mrs. Welty are the advisers for this club which is composed of 9B, 9A, IOB, and IOA girls. Girls who are interested in home- making are encouraged to join the Wo-Ho-Ma Club, which specializes in cooking and sewing. The younger boys have formed the Torch Club and are under the able supervision of Mr. Sterner. There are also clubs which are open to both boys and girls. The most pop- ular of these are Rifle Club, Travel Club, Junior Math. Wranglers, and Art Club. In this large group of freshmen there are a few outstanding ones who are leading their class in both scholastic and extra-curricular activities. Joe Bex, the little brother of John Bex, has followed in the foot- steps of his brother. Joe is an honor roll student and is also actively engaged in Times and music work. His imitations of many famous people are well known throughout the entire school-but perhaps he is best known in public speaking work. He won the Declarna- tion Contest, in which he competed with upperclass- men. Freshmen usually think that their year has been the experience in high school. A year the hardest, too. But year is ahead or behind them, has been a fine onel hardest they will ever sophomore thinks his whether their hardest this class of freshmen La Donna Neith, Morton Nahrwold, Delores Menefee, Tom Moorhead, Dorothy McLennan, Virginia Menze, Donald McVey, Eddie Reeves.

PART FIVE n ACTIVITIES OMS. .ACTIVITIES THE TOTEM 1936 They Get Out And Push BY HARRIETT YAPP Tal-:e an ice cream bar. one bag of popcorn, some crepe paper, a dance, and a lusty yell, and what have you? The Booster Club! As the name infers, it boosts the school. There are five separate divisions of the club. Miss Rowena Harvey is caretaker of the treasury funds and general chairman of the advisers. Other faculty mem- bers are Miss Gertrude Oppelt, Miss Mary Helen Ley, Miss Nell Covalt, Mr. Albert Heine, and Miss Alice Patterson. The tea dances are one source of income for the club. These dances have as their object not only the collecting of dimes, but the casting aside of dismal gloom and the replacing of it with carefree joy. Stu- dents who attend the dances are carried far into the land of rhythm by the school's own orchestra, or- ganized in the fall semester. Those who attended the dances this year received clever favors on special occasions. For instance, in the colorful autumn, candy suckers were given as favors, at Christmas, chocolate Santa Clauses chased gloom, on Valentine's day, colorful valentines with lollypops inserted were distributed. Miss Gertrude Oppelt was the faculty adviser and general chairman of the tea dances, other members of the faculty took turns at chaperoning. Her student committee for this ycar was comprised of Virginia Vesey, deceased, Rose- mary Lehman, Harriett Yapp, and Ruth Garrison. Another source of income was the concessions, ded- icated to the proposition that human appetites are never satisfied. This committee was headed by Miss Nell Covalt, assisted by Miss Mary Pocock. Trudgers of the cinder path during the football season sold many delicious morsels, which won not a few hearts- but a few stomachs. Cream puffs were a new attrac- tion for the athletic season. Candy, ice cream bars, Laffy apples, Coca-Cola, gum, and popcorn were also on sale. An artistically inclined wing of the group has spent many hours after school and on Saturdays to make the gym, the stadium, and the banquet tables attrac- tive. Tts faculty adviser was Miss Mary Helen Ley. It met early each Saturday morning. It also distrib- uted favors, such as balloons and pompoms at city series games. Besides decorating the gym, it was the committees duty to provide decorations for the Let- termenis Banquet and the National Honor Society Banquet. The committee has gone hungry and stayed till dark many times to provide attractive decorations. Robert E. Lee, Georgianna Jacobs, Anna Bremer, Ann Hull, Virginia Greiner, Evelyn Kruse, and Betty Wolf comprised this industrious group. Yell leaders, under the direction of Albert Heine and bliss Alice Patterson are another part of the Boos- ter Club. They boost school spirit and pep by leading yells and presenting skits and songs. One of the new- est yells is Rain and Thunder. The yell leaders this year were: Clifford Schrom, 64 captain, Dave Stegar, Phil Green, and Bud Mahurin. They were assisted by underclassmen yell leaders dur- ing the year. Several members of the concession committee arrive an hour before each game to establish stands in their proper places and to supply them with the delicious bits stored in the Booster Club room. Bryce Minier and John Bex were in charge of these tasks. Jack Geiger and Ray Ballweg were the poppers of the Coca- Cola bottles, and Jim Sweet and Joe Bex guarded the ice cream bars. Cream puffs were sold by Maxine Mariotte and Maxine Borchert. George Anne Mar- tin's workers popped delicious salted and buttered popcorn. The candy committee was in charge of Mil- dred Foellinger and Ann Abbett, assisted by Helen Kelsey, Ruth Garrison, and George Anne Martin. Diagonally, First Row: H. Yapp, E. Kruse, Nliss Harvey, H.

The cables for the Letter- men's banquet were attractively decorated with green and white checked covering, diamond-shaped pro- grams, candles, fiowers, and clever place cards. These place cards were in the form of little figures made of wire pipe cleaners. The head was a picture of the guest who was to sit at that particular place. The theme of the National Honor Society banquet, which was held on May 14, was inspired by Rudyard Kipling's poem, The Glory of the Garden. This poem was printed on parchment scrolls. The programs were printed in little booklets with a picture of a gar- den on the cover. THE TOTEM 1936 Meter-Riting M a d e S i m p 1 e BY MARIORIE CARTWRIGHT Girls usually like most their English courses. So, we can understand why the Meterite Club is so popular with its freshman members. The reason is simple. Me- terite club is fun! If you don't believe it, let's inves- tigate it right now by re- viewing its many activities of the past year. Another successful year has passed for those young inspired grammarians, the Meterites. Ever since the organization of the group in 1925 by Miss Myra Esarey, the club has increased more and more each year until it is now one of the most ac- tive groups in South Side. Miss Susan Peck became the adviser in 1929. This popu- lar group, being a literary one, uses all types and phases of literature as the -themes for their meetings. Betty Pugh, president, Phyllis Geller, vice-president, Ruth Bade, secretary, Ann Peters, treasurer, and Lil- lian Gunzenhauser, program chairman, are the officers of Meterites who helped to make the first semester one of the most interesting ever. During the last semester, the girls were especially interested in screen productions. They reviewed many shows produced from literary books. A few of the productions reviewed were The Trail of the Lone- some Pine,', Small Town Girlf' Little Lord Fauntle- roy, Follow the Fleet, and others. From these productions the girls gave interesting discussions on the story, songs, characters, costumes and set- ting of the plays. Janice Dryer, Betty Daniels, Mary Lee Hines, Eileen Hoffman, Anna Lou Kowalski, Mary Lou Moffat, and many other girls took part in these discussions. At one meeting Betty Neeb gave an in- teresting talk on Famous Film Children. Holly- wood Extras were also discussed by Dorothy Hall. Several plays were also written, directed, and given by the girls. During the farewell meeting in January, each of the three sections gave a short play. The 10B girls gave a play entitled A Proposal on Grand- mother's Day, written by Jeanette Joyce and directed by Phyllis Culver. Lillian Gunzenhauser, Ruth Hen- line, Martha Ann Bacon, and Helen Cox were the players. Dot Entertainsn was the play given by the 9A girls. Dorothy Hall directed it and was also a player with Mildred Brett. Jeanette Joyce was the author of the 9B girls' play. It was entitled Aunt Miss Peck. Ruckle. First Row: P. Geller, A. Kowalski, B.

The farewell parties are always of great importance to the girls. At these services the outgoing IOB girls are honored for their work in,Meterites. The mid- term farewell party was held in January and proved At this meeting speeches were to be a big success. made by Miss Peck, adviser, Joan Bonsib, who gave the 10B girls, and by Margery a farewell talk for Rapp, who gave the response for the 9B and 9A girls. Awards were given at this time to Helen Cox, Lillian Gunzenhauser, Betty Lee Wilson, Joan Bonsib, Betty Pugh, Ann Peters, and Phyllis Culver. Theatre par- ties had an important place in the calendar. The girls enjoy a potluck after which they attend the theatre in a body. Several such parties were held during the last year. The Mother-Daughter tea, an annual af- fair, was carried out this year in a colonial motif. Dor- othy Hall was chairman of the tea, and she was as- sisted by Betty Daniels, June Holzworth, and Betty Neeb. The girls also gave a skating party this spring. Any 9B, 9A, or 10B girl whose grade in English is above a B is eligible for membership in Meterites. After she becomes a IOA, she is eligible for member- ship into Philo, a sister organization of Meterites, made up of upperclass girls. The Meterite girls meet every other Tuesday after school. Ruth Bade, president, Lois Rea, vice-president, Mar- garet Null, secretary, Helen Banks, treasurer, were the officers during the spring semester. 65 The March Begins w.. -.

The Philalerhian Literary Society- Philo', to acquaintances-has the allegiance of many South Side girls before they graduate. The men may lead other school clubs, but they don't have a chance here. Not a chance! The club was founded in 1922. Since the start, Miss Elizabeth Demaree, a member of the South Side English department, has been faculty adviser. Philo's officers during the fall semester of this year were: Ruth Adler, president, Helen Anderson, vice- president, Dorothy Crabill, secretary, Betty Rose Leh- man, treasurer, Rosemary Chappell, sergeant-at-arms, Mary Martha Hobrock, program chairman, Jane Loomis, publicity chairman, Virginia Gardner, pian- ist, and Verna Holtman, Inter-Club Congress repre- sentative. For the spring semester, the officers were the following girls: Ruth Adler, president, Mary Martha Hobrock, vice-president, Ruth Roadcap, sec- retary: joan Kennedy, treasurer, Helen Anderson, sergeant at arms, Selma Liff, program chairman, Vir- ginia Gardner, pianist, Verna Holtman, publicity chairman, and Peggy Kilpatrick, Inter-Club Congress representative. Special recognition was given to the Philo members who had attended every meeting of the first semester of this year. Roses fashioned of lovely linen handker- chiefs were presented to the following girls: Ruth Adler, Helen Anderson, Maxine Borchert, Rosemary Chappell, Dorothy Crabill, Bernadette Dygert, Con- 66 Philo Girls -Just Ask stance Haag, Mary Martha H o b r o c k, Joan Kennedy, Peggy Kilpatrick, Betty Rose Lehman, Selma Liff, Marjorie Meyer, Ruth Roadcap, and Marjorie Scheuman. In order to be eligible for membership in Philo, a girl must be a l0A, Junior, or Senior, have a grade of B or better in English, and must be passing in all other subjects. Applications for membership in the society are written to Miss Demaree. A new custom was started by the Philalethians this year. A yearbook. which gives the schedule for Philo's activities for the year, was printed and given to each girl. This year- book also gave the names of the Philo officers, the songs and yells of the club, the col- ors and Howers, and the Mary Michaels was the chairman of the com- mittee in charge of this book. She was assisted by Anderson, Selma Liff, Elizabeth Simminger, IHOIIO. Helen Helen Doenges, Margaret Crankshaw, Violet Garton, and Thekla Leininger. A small group of Philalethian girls has been organ- ized to form a dramatic society. The purpose of this society is to furnish plays for Philo meetings when- ever they are wanted. The girls who compose this group are called the Philo Thespians. Helen Ander- son, vice-president and sergeant-at-arms, was at the head of the Thespians. A number of clever and enter- taining plays have been presented at various meetings of the club by this active group of girls. The first play given was Seven to One. Gwen Horn, Maxine Howard, Selma Liff, Geneva Shearer, Betty Ann Davenport, and Joan Kennedy took part in it. On January 6, No Men Wanted', was presented before the club. The girls who participated in it are: Helen Potterf, Ruth Adler, Louise Miller, Ruth Roadcap, Betty Jeanne Bond, LaVerne DeKeel, Helen Doenges, and Thekla Leininger. To furnish music for the meetings is the purpose of the Philo quartet. It is composed of Harriett Yapp, Ruth Fritz, Sybil Knudson, and Helen Flaig. Helen Flaig directs the quartet. It has given many appro- priate musical selections at different times during the year. For several years, it has been the custom of this THE TOTEM 1936 Are The Tops A n y F e 1 1 o W BY HOSEMARY CHAPPELI. club to have a yell leader who leads the club's yells. This position has been ably filled during the past two semesters by Nlaxine Mar- iotte. Martha Suter and Eleanor Cupp were two for- mer yell leaders. There are many outstand- ing dates on the Philalethian social calendar for each year. Philo's social activi- ties begin with the annual Philo dance. This is usually on the night preceding the South Side-Central football game. November 9 was the date for this year,s dance. inger, J. Zonal., First Row: P. Kilpatrick, Kennedy, R. Roadcap, V.

Adler, Mr. and Mrs. R. Nelson Snider, and Mr. and Mrs. Merle Abbett, Several attendance prizes were given during the course of the evening. Also, a very clever specialty show was presented. Next on the calendar came the Christmas Party. Mrs. Feagles, who participated in the program last year, again was featured. She related in a pleasing and entertaining manner a Christmas story written by that well-known authoress, Zona Gale. Then several selections on the piano were played by Reginald Gerig, a talented pianist at South Side. He was also on last year's program. January was the month during which the annual Philalethian musicale was held at the home of Miriam Lickert, where there is installed a fine organ. Helen Flaig, director of the Philo quartet, was in charge of the program. An unusual feature of the program was the organ music played by Avanell Glass, a South Side alumna. The quartet sang several numbers, and Miriam Lickert and Helen Flaig played duets on the harp. Two Vocal solos were presented by Ruth Ann Larimore, another South Side alumna. Mary Jo Allen played a violin solo. Twenty-five Philo members attended this musicale on Sunday evening, January 26. Miss Pittenger, Miss Olive Perkins, and Miss Mary Jane Scott, a former Philo president, were guests. Another Philo tradition is the joint Philo-Meterite meeting. This is always observed during the spring semester. The two literary organizations of South Side combined this year with a joint meeting in March. The newly-organized Philo Thespians pre- sented a play entitled, 'QA Cup of China Tea. Martha Zelt, Eva Allison, Verna Holzman, Marian Wolf, Theo Schurenberg, Peggy Kilpatrick, and LaVerne DeKeel comprised the cast for the play. An amateur hour was staged by the members of Meterites. On March 7, the annual Saint Patrickls Day ban- quet was given at the Fort Wayne Woman's Club. This was the fourteenth annual banquet held on this date by the Philalethians. The first one was given dur- ing the year the society was organized. Leap Yearu was the theme for this year's banquet. Miss Mary Catherine Smeltzley, a teacher at Central High School, was the principal speaker. Next, Roberta Garton, a former Philo member and Philo poet, gave an original poem. The reading of this poem was followed by a speech given by Miss Virginia Montgomery, a Philo alumna. A response from the active Philo members was presented by Mary Michaels. Helen Potterf gave a reading in Irish dialect. Impromptu speeches were made by Mr. Abbett, Mr. Snider, and Mr. Null. Sev- eral songs were sung by the quartet, and Miriam Lickert and Helen Flaig played a harp duet. The program was ended by the singing of the usual Philalethian songs. 67 ti' 'ily 5 i lx- . wi 1,951 Sf! up 1 iii ry Hi ru, MK gli 1. ai? ,gr B2 - vs A-71.2 gi , '15 J. .2' Pi e l X. -4 THE TOTEM 1936 Resolved: Bad Speakers Should Be Exterminated Red-headed persons with chips on their shoulders have a fine chance to fill the ozone with invective vituperation in the club of the Wranglers. For Wrang- lers Club is devoted to public speaking, as the name implies. September. the month of renewed friendships, be- gan with the club's annual picnic, which was in the form of a wiener bake. It was on September Z3 at 6 oiclock that this picnic was in full sway on the river bank back of Vesey's home. The height of the evening was reached when the members all sat around the bonfire and sang. At the next meeting, held October seventh, the members of the Wrangling group listened to speeches by Alfred Diem and Mrs. Willis and to a humorous monologue by Vera Ellinger. Mr. Diem spoke on the declamation of public speaking, in preparation for the declamation contestg Vera Ellinger's skit was about football, and Mrs. Willis talked on Washington, D. C., its history. beauty, and industrial accomplishments. Jack Beemer entertained the group by singing To- bacco Roadu and Down the Oregon Trail. The president, Dave Steger, appointed committees for the initiation. Bernadette Dygert was appointed head of the decoration committee, and Joan Lohman was appointed the head of the menu committee. On Monday evening, October 21, at 6 olclock in the cafeteria, Wranglers held its potluck and initiation. After all had eaten to their heart's content, they ad- journed to Miss Benner's room, where the initiation was held. After being roughly initiated, the new members were seriously initiated and became full- fledged Wranglers. At a meeting held on November 4, the Wranglers were greatly honored to have as their guest speaker the Rev. Charles Houser, who gave a very interesting speech on the Armistice. After the Rev. Mr. Houser had spoken, Miss Velma Lehman played several selections on the accordian. Cake and cider were First Row: A. Karn, M. Haven, H. Spangle, A. Abbett, D. W. Zelt, H. Kelsey, D. Helm, M.

Those who entered the contest are Sybil Knudson, Thekla Leininger, Bon Silene Craig, Louis Bonsib, Charles I-lart, Dalton Mc- Alister, Robert Storm, Joe Bex, Gwen Horn, and Bern- adette Dygert. The judges were Mr. Benton Speaker, Miss Alda Jane Woodward, and Miss Betty Peters. First place went to Joe Bex, who gave the speech John Adams had delivered at the Constitutional Conven- tion. Second place was awarded to Gwen Horn, who gave the Victor of Marengof' Third place was won by Louis Bonsib, who gave Patrick Henry,s Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Deathi' speech. The officers who presided from September to Jan- uary were: Dave Steger, president, Gwendolyn Horn. vice-president, Doris Bennett, secretary, Richard Strasser, treasurer, Tom Jaenicke and Clifford Schrom, sergeant-at-arms, and Delbert Leininger. Inter-Club Congress representative. Because of illness, the president, Dave Steger, was compelled to leave school: and the vice-president, Gwendolyn Horn, conducted the rest of the meetings. This year Wranglers did something that they had never done before-they amended the Constitution. The amendment states that no one may join the Wranglers Club unless he or she has had one-half term of public speaking or has entered a speaking contest. This was done because Wranglers Club stands for public speaking. On December 16 new ofhcers were elected to lead the club until June. Those who were elected are: Clifford Schrom, president, Sally Rea, vice-president, Maxine Roth, secretary, Tom Jaenicke, treasurerg Richard Strasser and Philip Green, sergeants-at-armsg and Virginia Gross, Inter-Club Congress representa- tive.

Miss Benner, the adviser, was given a corsage of flowers. Miss Pit- tenger, dean of South Side High School, was given a box of powder. The two attendance prizes were won by Maxine Roth and Walter Jergenson and Sally Rea and Dave Steger. The most bashful couple of the evening, Frieda Schubert and Joe Bex, received a balloon as a prize. Marybelle Gallmeyer and Corky Ryan, both of North Side, were awarded a prize for being the tallest couple. Mildred Foellinger and Rex Parker received a prize for being the cutest couple. The general chairman of the dance was Clifford Schrom. Ann Winter headed the decoration commit- tee, Tom jaenicke was chairman of the orchestra com- mittee, Dick Helm managed the publicity, and George Anna Martin was head of the prize committee. One of the most interesting meetings of the entire year was held on February 26. The special guest of the meeting was Dick Tricker, who was the first presi- dent of Wranglers after it was reorganized by Miss Benner. He gave a talk about his experiences in re- organizing the club. Another guest was Berneta Mc- Intosh, a 1935 graduate, who was' former secretary and vice-president of the club. Following the meeting, a potluck was held in the cafeteria. The entertainment consisted of popular songs with words which included members of the Wranglers Club. The words for the music were written by Mary Louise Helms and her committee. However, the initiation which followed the potluck proved to be the most popular event of the entire evening. The initiation services for ten new members were held in rooms 176 and 178. An interesting contest of Wranglers Club is the Wranglers Honor Debate. This year the debate proved to be enjoyable and interesting to both the audience and the contestants. Everyone who partici- pated in this annual event of the club showed out- standing ability in debating skill. Four speakers, Dick Helm, Sybil Knudson, Charles Hart, and Vernon Mil- ler, were chosen from the ranks of the original contest- ants by being judged on a three-minute speech. The , F. Valentine, B.

By a close decision the negative team, composed of Charles Hart and Vernon Miller, won the laurels at this interesting meeting of Wrang- lers Club. Niarch 9, Mr. Benton Speaker was the judge for the elimination contest and for the debate. Dick Helm was declared winner of the extempor- aneous contest which was held by the Wranglers Club on April 20. Dick spoke on Freight by Highway.,, Dalton lVlcAlister and Vernon lVliller tied for second place. Dalton's speech was Trial by Newspaper, and Vernon,s speech was Don't Be a Lawyerf, Charles Hart, who took third place, had as his subject Wake Up and Live. There were two other contestants, joe Bex and Robert Storm, with the respective subjects Quiet Please and Small Town. The judges were lV1iss Virginia Montgomery, lxflf. Sterner, and the mem- bers of the club. The most formal affair that the Wranglers Club sponsored during the year was their banquet, which was held May 12. At that time, the winners of the declamation contest and of the extemporaneous con- tests were awarded medals. Some of the medals were gold, others silver, and some of bronze. The winner of the Wranglers Club Extemporaneous Contest, Dick Helm, received a new award. The medal had never been awarded before, as the contest was the first of its kind held by the club. Other awards that were given were certificates to the outstanding public speakers of the year. A very interesting program was held at the dinner. The oiqicers and other members gave speeches and Ray Speaker gave a special tap dance. Public speaking activities are more than school ac- tivities. South Side High School speakers are well known by civic clubs and community organizations throughout the city. Manuel Rothberg, Ruth Garri- son, Heleii Flaig, Sybil Knudson, and Dalton McAl- lister are a few that have spoken before civic clubs. Wranglers are dedicated to the cause of good speak- ing. And they are good speakers. But more than this, they are a real-for-sure bunch of students who have a good time while they work. 69 THE TOTEM 1936 TT 'fx A Page Torn From The Book Of Library Club Book worms eat books up.

This method was the forming of a Safety Council similar to those being formed throughout the country. The main purpose of this organization was to make South Side 'lsafety consciousf' The council accom- plished its purpose by means of contests and assemblies. The first of these assemblies was held November 13 when Mayor Harry W. Baals, Merle Abbett, super- intendent of schools, Mr. Thomas Kelley, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and Sergeant Custer Dunifon, traffic sergeant of the police department, spoke on the importance of safety from their own particular viewpoints. Ruth Adler, president of the council, presided at the introductions. Essays were written and scrapbooks and posters were made for the contests. All English students were required to write a theme on safety. Winners of each class were awarded small prizes. Prizes were awarded to each of the four class winners, who were: Fresh- man, Helen Fauxg sophomore, Betty Jane Miller, junior, Richard Ake, and senior, Sonia Velkoff. Sonia Velkoff's essay, All in a Day's Work, took grand first place, and Richard Ake's poem, Extracts from a Diary, won second prize. Thirteen posters were chosen from all of the entries for final judging. These posters were created by Georgianna Jacobs, Bud Jones, Frank Glusenkamp, Robert Miller, Leonard Koch, Norman Miller, Earl BY RUTH ADLER Engelbrecht, Jack Bosserman, and Mary Martha Ho- brock. Bud Jones' poster of a small child with the question, Would you murder him? won first place. Second place was taken by Georgianna Jacobs' poster of a policeman. The wording on this poster was Stop Accidents. Donit duck between cars was cleverly illustrated by a picture of a duck on Mary Martha Hobrockis poster, which took third place. These prizes were donated by the courtesy of Pack- ard Fort Wayne, Incorporated, Baker-Miller Com- pany, National Mill Supply Company, Oldsmobile Agencyg Chester G.

No,-let's not have an oration about the Times! Let's merely point out a few of the ways in which the Times has gone forward during its fourteen years of publication. Nineteen thirty-six has added to the al- ready long list of accomplishments. Beginning early last fall, the Times sent Ann Abbett, Helen Anderson, John Bex, Louis Bonsib, Norman Buck, Rosemary Chappell, Dorothy Crabill, Ruth Gar- rison, Dick Helm, Helen Kelsey, George Anna Mar- tin, Bryce Minier, Jo-Anne Smith, Bob Storm, Jim Sweet, Virginia Vesey, Betty Wolf, and Harriet Yapp to the Indiana High School Press Association held at Franklin College, Franklin, Indiana, where the paper was awarded many prizes for excellence in journalism. John Bex, who is the second South Side student ever to hold an ofhce in the I. H. P. A., was elected presi- dent. The first was Ann Abbett, member of the class of 1936, who was secretary of the association in 1934-5. At this convention the South Side Times was awarded eighteen first places and two second places out of a possible twenty-two. It was also awarded first place in Class I to decide an All-Indiana Superior newspaper. Individual newspaper awards were also presented to Norman Buck and Dick Helm for sports writing, to Jim Sweet for a feature story, and to Louis Bonsib for advertising writing. Bryce Minier was general manager during the first part of the fall semester, and Ann Abbetr was general manager during the last part. Rosemary Chappell and jim Sweet completed the spring term as general man- agers. Other major positions were: Jo-Anne Smith and Rosemary Chappell, managing editors, Jim Sweet, editor, Ruth Garrison, news editor, John Jackson and Reginald Gerig, copy editors, Dick Helm, sports edi- 72 The March Times Wins tor, Norman Buck, make- up editor, Bob Storm, sports copy and make-up editor, John Bex, busi- ness manager, Harriett Yapp, circulation man- ager, George Anna Mar- tin, advertising manager, Robert Schweizer, credit manager. In November a special American Education Week issue was publish- ed, of which Virginia Ve- sey, deceased, of the class of 1936, was special gen- eral manager, and Bryce Minier, general manager. The issue included twen- ty pages. This issue received many honors from the National Educational Association and the Student Editors' Association and the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Quill and Scroll, international honorary society for high school journalists, awarded Jo-Anne Smith third national place in the United States in the copy-reading contest, Ruth Garrison first place in the East Central division of the news terms contest, and Jim Sweet second place in East Central States section in the editorial writing contest. Not only have students received rewards, but Miss Rowena Harvey, faculty adviser of the Times, has also received many honors for her outstanding work in the field of high school newspaper work. At a recent convention of the National Scholastic Press Associa- tion, she was given a gold key for distinguished work. During Christmas vacation students received a joke issue containing many witty sayings and jokes to make students more happy during the vacation. Besides the joke issue, a special April Fool's issue was also published, in a spirit of fun. At the time of the sectional tourney, a Tournament News issue was published, in which one page was devoted to the athletic news of each school. Arcola, Huntertown, New Haven, and Woodburn were the towns to which Times staff members went to get tour- ney material. During the last week of school, senior journalists published the annual senior day issue. The general manager for this edition was Mildred Foellinger. There were not only many interesting issues, but many new columns were started with interesting names. Shoes and Ships was a variety column. Ear Burn- ers gave personal items about South Side students. Carrying On was written by representative students Of Times! M o r e T i m e s BY HELEN DOENGES each week. Secrets to Seventeensu dealt with so- cial relations among stu- dents. The major staff mem- bers for the spring term were: Reginald Gerig and Norman Buck, managing editors, Bob Storm, edi- tor, John Jackson and Maxine Mariotte, copy editors, John Bex, busi- ness managerg L e o n a Menze, circulation man- ager, George Anna Mar- tin, advertising manager, Leona M e n z ef, Mary- Anne Fark, and Lois Wyneken, star reporters, Sybil Knudson, c r e d i t manager, Ann Abbett, Bryce Minier, and Louis Bonsib student advisers.

Again proving that the South Side Times is a su- perior paper, it was awarded a blue ribbon medal, the highest award of the Columbia Scholastic Press Asso- ciation. The Times has received this medal annually since the first convention. Ir is one of the four high schools in the nation of an enrollment of 1500 to 2500 to receive the prize. Ar this convention the Times was also awarded the title of All-Columbian, which is bestowed upon a pa- per that has excelled in a particular field. The Times received the reward for its sports coverage. The South Side Times was again awarded the All- American Honor Rating-Superior for 1936 by the National Scholastic Press Association. This award is the highest that can be given to any paper in the divi- sion in which the Times was entered. The paper was entered in the first division of the coeducational high school which have a weekly publication and an enroll- ment of 1600 or more. The Times has won the All- American Honor Rating since 1929, the year this award was begun. As a result of winning this award, the paper will be presented with a distinctive certifi- cate giving the name of the publication, the rating received, and the year of the competition. The Times was especially commended on its series of stories about alumni who have obtained positions, their news cover- age in general, and the good harmony of type faces. Bryce Minier, Joe Bex, and Leona Menze, three South Side students, were entered in the Quill and Scroll vocabulary, editorial writing, and feature decisions. Joe Bex won fourth place in the East Cen- tral States division of the editorial contest. This dis- trict includes Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and XVisconsin. His editorial was Can We Abolish Pov- erty? In the feature writing contest, Leona Menze received honorable mention. Her feature was an inter- view with Miss Dorothy Benner about the radio pro- grams that Miss Benner dislikes. Bryce Minier, student adviser of the South Side Times, won honorable mention in the vocabulary division of the contest. On the night of May 4, the Times put on an as- sembly for the Parent-Teachers' Association showing the steps in the publication of the paper. Those pupils from the January graduation class who received Quill and Scroll awards are as follows: Ann Abbett, Helen Anderson, Bernadette Dygert, Mildred Foellinger, Dorothy Crabill, Maxine Mariotte, George Anna Martin, Jo-Anne Smith, Louis Bonsib, Bryce Minier, Dick Helm, and Jim Sweet. In the issue of the Times published on April 30, the new members of the Quill and Scroll were announced. Meinbership in this organization is based upon the following: first, service to the publications-the person must work on publications for one full year, second, character, and third, scholarship.

Math-Science is the club that puts two and two together, finds what makes the clock tick, and has a good time doing it, too. The club's aim is to promote the knowledge of and interest in mathematics and science. During the fall semester the club was led by John Bex, as president. He was very capably assisted by the other ofiicers, who were: vice-president, Ruth Ad- ler, secretary, Helen Anderson, treasurer, David Sher- man, Inter-Club Congress representative, Lois Wyne- keng food committee, William Schafer and William Kruse: program committee, Ruth Garrison, Richard Bridges, and Selma Lififg and entertainment committee, Ruth Roadcap, Ruth Berning, and Norman Buck. The advisers were Miss Fiedler and Mr. Whelan. A r t h e first meeting of the fall semester, a reading giving the ideals and p u r p o s e s of Math-Science w a s presented. Characters tak- ing part were, Spirit of Math Science C l u b, B r y c e Minier Spirit of Math Miss I: i e d l e r and Spirit of Sci- ence, Mr. Whel- ian. Ar this same m e e t i n g, Mr. Gould gave an illustrated le c- ture on Trees of Indiana. Gould, B. Minier. R. H ff. In Cct o b e r, arm the annual Hal- loween Party was held. Ruth Ad- ler, social chair- man, was in charge of the party. A prize for the most attractive costume was awarded to Selma Liff. At the conclusion of the party, refreshments were served. The outstanding feature of the November meeting was an interesting talk on The Chemical and Mathe- matical Side of the Waterworks, given by Mr. R. L. Matthews, supervisor of the Fort Wayne Waterworks. Mr. Matthews supplemented his talk with a chart, showing the course of the water from the time it en- ters the filtration plant until it leaves. The speaker also gave many interesting facts and figures on the Fort Wayne water system. At the completion of Mr. Matthews' speech, Ruth Roadcap spoke on the life and theory of Albert Einstein. A potluck was the outstanding event on the Decem- 74 BY RUTH ROSE ber program of the club. After the members had fin- ished their delightful meal, Miss Mary Paxton spoke on Calendars, She stated that her interest in cal- endars had been aroused after she had visited Mexico and had seen an Aztec Indian calendar. In January, the members of Math-Science Club held a joint meeting with the members of the Social Sci- ence Club. At the business meeting, election of offi- cers was held. Those elected to serve as officers dur- ing the spring semester were: president, Richard Ras- tetterg vice-president, Ruth Garrison, secretary, Evelyn Kruse, and treasurer, Richard Gebert. Advisers for the spring term were Miss Hodgson and Mr. Gould. After the installation of the new officers at the February meeting, Mr. Louie Hull, physics instructor, First Row: L.

On Washington's birthday, the members of Math- Science sponsored an assembly. The skit was written and directed by Mildred Foellinger and Ruth Adler. In March, Miss Paxton spoke to the members on uLand of Contrastsf, At the conclusion of her talk, John Bex gave a discussion of Insectivorous Plantsf, Indiana Bird Lifen was the topic spoken on by Mr. Williain Willer at the April meeting of the club. At this same meeting, Miss Fiedler talked on Some In- teresting Phases of Mathematics, and Mr. Lawrence spoke on The Science of Seeing. A year of interest- ing activities was brought to a close by the picnic held on June 5. THE TOTEM 1936 It's Been Lots Of Fun Putting Out A Totem! Time Marches On! , out of four years of the past, when seniors were juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, -into many years of the unknown future. When Louis Bonsib, Editor of the Totem aided by Miss Rowena Harvey, faculty adviser, selec- ted The March of Timen as the theme for the year- book of the senior class of 1936, he must have been inspired by the many events that have marched, with time, through the four short years these seniors have spent in South Side High School. The march of events which led to the publication of this book is significant, interesting, and enlight- ening. Vvhen over four hundred new students entered the school in January and September of 1932, they imme- 1936, First Row: M. Mariotte, A. Abbett, Smith, 1... Bonsib, Miss Harvey, B. Minier, M. Jones, B.

Ever since their entrance, they have maintained their tradition of dependability, and now, so near to com- mencement, the Totem comes out to bear further proof of their leadership. The first successful undertaking necessary to pub- lishing a superior yearbook was completed in October of 1935, when Dorothy Crabill, circulation manager of the Totem, boosted the goal of eight hundred subscriptions over the top by more than one hundred signatures. Next in order of events came the senior picture drive, which was ably handled by Mary Martha Ho- BY MARY ANN PARK brock. Nearly four hundred pictures were taken by S. A. Beach, the commercial photographer of the Jef- ferson Studiog these were all completed before Decem- ber 1. - Faculty pictures, about seventy in number, were lin- ished before the beginning of the Christmas vacation period by Paul Reynolds, staff photographer. About the time when the faculty pictures were being taken, a drive to secure underclassmen photographs was also under way. This campaign resulted in fully five hundred pictures. On December 6, the Totem sponsored an assembly to help clubs procure their pages at reduced cost. The program featured Dr. William Harwood, noted ex- It resulted in a substantial cut in page prices for clubs. plorer and trainer of wild animals. From Decem- ber 1 to February 7, Bryce Minier, business manag- er, was busy ar- ranging s c h e d- ules for club pic- tures, which were t a k e n in the study hall and Greeley Room. The commercial photogr a p h e r a n d the editor w o r k e d long hours on these pictures, w h i c h were completed in record time. just after the beginning of the spring semester ' on J a n u a r y 6, 1936, a new un- derclassman pic- ture drive began -this time for incoming freshmen. A good percent- age of the new students signed for pictures. - Starting with February 14, the date on which the first stories were due, the copy editors, who are: Anna Bremer, Selma Liff, Violet Garton, and Jim Sweet, became busy correcting and re-arranging the copy which was turned in. The stories were all assigned by Ruth Adler and Helen Anderson, co-activities editors. The class editors for this issue of the Totem are: senior editor, Ann Abbettg assistant senior editor, Gwen Horn, junior editor, Bernadette Dygertg sopho- more editor, Robert Harruffg and freshman editor, Mary Martha Hobrock. 75 TIME OFF FOR LUNCH 1+ lust all -ul 7:45 eafh I11OI'I'l1I1Q ol the week, the Ma1'Ch ot TIIIMF loee mns lor our more than two thous- and students.

Is One Up On Service With A Smile Service with a smile? No- we don't refer to bell hops, but to the up-and-coming U. S. A. Club. Found- ed on unity, conceived in service. and dedicated to ap- preciation, the aims of the U. S. A., like those of all other Girl Reserve clubs, are to promote friendship through working and playing together, to be loyal to the school, and to be earnest and truthful at all times. This year these three aims have been especially car- ried out in the activities of the club. One of the many clever programs was the membership party in Septem- ber. It was in the form of an amateur hour. The members of the cabinet stood behind screens which were placed in back of the radio. Helen Meese turned on the radio. The girls behind the screens were then featured on an amateur program. The amateurs were given the names of the new members. It was a pleasant surprise for the new members to hear their own names called as the amateurs stepped up to the microphone. This, however, was just one of the many interesting lheetlngs. The Christmas program consisted of several enter- taining Christmas stories and poems. At the Thanks- giving meeting, which was in the form of a potluck, a Thanksgiving play was giveng and Miss Lampson, former activity director at the Y. W. C. A., gave an interesting talk on Choosing Your l lighway. At another meeting, Miss Thorne gave a speech about her many adventures in Labrador. To make the meetings even more enjoyable for the U. S. A. mem- bers, there were refreshments for each meeting. Some of the refreshments were fudge, popcorn, talfy apples, cherry tarts with whipped cream, candy canes, and ice cream in Dixie cups. In the initiating ceremony, each member of the cabinet read a line from the Girl Re- serve Code and explained it. Extensive charity work is done by the girls in the BY HARRIET BASFORD U. S. A., such as making valentines, dressing dolls, filling Christmas and Thanksgiving baskets, and mak- ing various articles for the Needlework Guild. They also participate in a World Fellowship project each year. The girls participate in three kinds of service work, namely, for the club, the school, and the com- munity. The U. S. A. Club has done a great deal in these directions. Because it is a branch of the Y. W. C. A. and be- cause its girls are future So-Si-Y girls, the club has a degree system. There are three degrees. The single triangle degree is awarded to the deserving members during the first semester, the double triangle degree during the second semesterg and then, during the third semester, to the girls who have worked hard for it goes the highest award a member can receive. the triple triangle degree. Julia Crabill and Betty Bur- henn are the two girls who received the triple triangle degree. Those who received the double triangle de- gree are: Mary Beth Le Fever, Beth Ellen Chadwick, and Eldora Buesking. There are forty-four girls who received the single triangle degree. Miss Elizabeth Kelley and Mrs. Roy Welty are the two competent faculty advisers who guided the U. S. A. through its most successful year. The officers dur- ing the fall semester were: President, Julia Crabill, vice-president, Vivian Wfoodsg secretary, Helen Meeseg treasurer, Barbara Raymond, membership chairman, Eldora Bueskingg service chairman, Kathryn McGin- nitieg publicity chairman, Velma Connett, social chair- man, Ruth Blue. The officers during the spring semes- ter were: President, Vivian Woods, vice-president, El- dora Bueskingg secretary, Phyllis Roller, treasurer, Irene Niemeyer, membership chairman, Julia Crabill, service chairman, Velma Connettg social chairman, Ellen Addington, publicity chairman, Virginia Menze.

At least that is what the girls in Wo-Ho- Ma hope, for, in their club activities they not only have a good time learning how to fry eggs usunny- side-up, but they also prepare for a career as a Worthy-Home-Maker.,' The club is organized as a part of the state-wide organization of Home Eco- nomics Clubs. Any girl who is taking home economics or any girl who has successfully completed a year of home economics is eligible to be a member. In order to carry out its purposes, this home eco- nomics club sponsors very interesting programs for its members. These are always planned along the theme of improving home life and encouraging high ideals for the girls. The special theme for this year was Famous Women of Americaf' Ac v a r i o u s meetings, reports were given on the lives of sev- eral eminent American women, including Jane Addams, the social work- er, Dr. Rina Sabin, a no- ted doctor, Helen Keller, a woman who has over- come great physical handicaps, Willa Cather, an author, and Madame Schumann-I-leink, an op- era star. These reports were short talks given by girls who were members of the club. These girls emphasized the outstand- in g characteristics of these women who have made such noble and highly - respected names for themselves in various helds of work. The talks gave inspiration to the R' King' members of the club and also gave them an ideal to follow. Along with this phase of the club activities, the members kept a scrap- book in keeping with the theme of the year. Articles and pictures of the prominent women were collected from various magazines and organized into interesting biographies. In order to encourage worthy home making in other manners, the club members took trips to such places of business as the Perfection Biscuit Company, a knit- ting mill, and several department stores. An outstanding meeting of another variety was the Emily Post Hour, at which time an open forum was held with the discussion and questions pertaining to all types of perplexing etiquette problems. Rights and wrongs of the etiquette of today are indeed very puzzling, and so, in order to lead a correct social life, BY IUNE HAEGER it is essential to have a broad knowledge of the udoisy' and don'ts,' of etiquette. Such a program as this en- courages the girls toward a more refined social life. This Wo-Ho-Ma Club also has a place in its activi- ties for hobbies. At some meetings the girls tell of their own personal hobbies, and thus they exchange ideas and schemes for developing new fields of interest and, perhaps, service. . Surpassing all of these very interesting meetings is the initiation service which is very impressive with its beautiful candle-light ceremony. Ac this ceremony, the new members pledge themselves to remain faithful and loyal to the club and its high ideals, and to serve the school, home, community, state, and nation. The ofhcers of the club spend much time in preparation 11. 1411 First Row: P. Oetting, M. Zimmerman, E. Selzer, F. Clark, K. Boerger, L. Lloyd. Second Row: R. Reitz, A. Jeffries, V.

An added attraction to the club program is the point system. Points are awarded for service as club officer, attendance and punctuality at meetings, prompt pay- ment of dues, bringing visitors, securing new members, and also for any service which is of value to the school In charge of these activities are the officers who are advised and aided by the club sponsor, Miss Pearl Rehorst, home economics teacher. The girls who were in olhce during the past year are: Faith Clark, presi- dent, Dorothea Tobianski, vice-president, and Audrey Jeffries, secretary-treasurer. These officers of Wo-Ho- Ma and the adviser have led the club through a very successful year. 77 ,. l l i . 'f I, . l . if-. llilk tl 1-1 .kr 1 Ei iv get G xi .

One hundred junior and senior girls in South Side are Girl Reserves-members in the So-Si-Y. The first meeting of each term is a pep meeting, the purpose of which is to acquaint the new members with the nature of the club. The second meeting is a mem- bership party, and admittance is gained only by pay- ment of dues. At this meeting, programs are handed out with the outline of the semester's meetings, and the members are divided into program groups. Each group selects its own chairman. The chairmen for the first semester of the school year were Ruth Adler, Mar- tha Franz, Mary Michaels, Ruth Reitz, Virginia Greiner, Norma Clauser, and Helen Doenges. For the second semester, June Close, Harriet Basford, Anna Bremer, Miriam Lickert, Dorothy Del'laven, and Mildred Foellinger were elected chairmen of their groups. The officers who served the first semester of the school year were Anna Bremer, president, Verna Holt- man, vice-presidentg Harriet Basford, secretary, Betty Rison, treasurer, Catherine Allendorph, Inter-Club Congress representative, Helen Anderson, membership chairman, Ruth Reitz, service chairman, Norma Clauser, social chairman, Virginia Greiner, publicity chairman. These officers chose as the theme for the fall semester Stray Roads. The meetings centered around this theme were rich in entertainment. At the first meeting in September, a short play entitled Rhythm in XM was presented by the officers. All those who saw this stirring drama will remember its humor and pathos. Crossroads of 78 So-Si-Y- T r a i n ed BY ELEANOR the World was the name of the interesting pro- gram at which the Rev. Charles M. Houser gave a. talk on What Girls Can Do To Further World Peace. This talk was followed by a r o u n d table discussion on the same subject. At t h e m e e t i n g which featured Lanes of Leis- ure,,' several members demon- strated articles they had made in leisure time, such as rope fiber sandals and bead purses. One of the most delightful meetings, however, was the Christmas party, Following the Star, to which the Polar-Y girls from North Side were invited. At this meeting, the late Mrs. Susan Simminger gave a talk illustrated with moving pictures which she took in Alaska and in Fort Wayne. The code line, Ready for Service, is never ignored in So-Si-Y. Miss Smeltzly, the service adviser, and the service committee supervise many activities. Each year several baskets of food are distributed to the needy at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Easter eggs are col- ored and valetines are made for the Allen County Orphans' Home to help these children celebrate two famous holidays. For service to the school, the girls mend cafeteria aprons, serve at banquets, and render many other services. Towels were hemmed for the Needlework Guild at the service meeting which, in keeping with the theme, was called By-paths of Serv- icef' Each year the members also take part in a world fellowship project. So-Si-Y not only participates in service activities, but is active socially as well. The chief social function each fall is the Faculty Tea. This year it was held on October ZZ and was suitably called Chatting with the Road-Gradersf, A pageant consisting of scenes illustrating the lines of the Girl Reserve code was pre- sented. Each member brought a teacher as guest. The pageant, in which all of the members took part, was followed by a social hour and refreshments. The cor- responding spring event was the Mother-Daughter Tea held May 5. The advisers for So-Si-Y are Miss Rinehart, pro- gram adviserg Miss Smeltzly, service adviser, Miss They're To Serve SCHREMSER Woodward, so- cial adviser, Miss Miller, member- ship adviser.

The meetings were as follows: Bon Voyage, pep meeting, All Aboard, membership party, Ships of State, patriotic, Storm at Sea, character, The Lighthouse, Easter program, All Hands on Deck, hobbies, Ship Ahoy, world fellowship, Shipmates Forever, Mother-Daughter Tea, Land Hof, picnic. So-Si-Y and Hi-Y gave a Jack and Jill dance following the South Side-Central basketball game on February 15. Other social events in which So-Si-Y had a part were the tourney dance at North Side, the Lollypop Hop sponsored by the Girl Reserve Inter- Club Council, and the annual spring banquet for all the Girl Reserves of the city. The Inter-Club Council, which is composed of the officers of all the Girl Re- serve clubs in the city, was headed by Virginia Greiner during the spring semester. One of the girls who has done much for So-Si-Y in artistic ways is Miriam Mclntire, who has designed many program covers. Helen Doenges is another de- serving recognition in that she wrote and directed the safety skit which So-Si-Y presented at a school as- sembly. One of the features which makes So-Si-Y popular is the system of three degrees by which outstanding girls are recognized. It was started in 1932. The first degree can be obtained by qualifying as a Girl Reserve of good standing for one term. A member of good standing is one who has paid her dues and attended at least live meetings. The second degree is awarded to those who have been members of good standing for two terms, and, in addition, have helped plan and execute a program, taken part in two community serv- ice projects, a service to the school, and one to the club. The triple triangle degree may be obtained by repeating the requirements for the second degree, and, in addition to this, participating in one world fellowship project during her club membership. The following girls earned the triple triangle degree during the fall semester: Ruth Adler, Anna Bremer, Cather- ine Allendorph, Harriet Basford, Fay Bechtold, Irene Becker, Norma Clauser, Helen Doenges, Mary-Anne Fark, Ruth Fowler, Martha Franz, June Haeger, Viv- ian Hickman, Verna Holtman, Eliza Bess Lucas, Lor- raine Meyer, Ruth Reitz, Betty Rison, Ruth Roadcap, Ruth Rose, and Dorothy Roudebush. Living up to the custom set a few years ago by So- Si-Y, the club again issued yearbooks for both the fall and spring semesters. They contained the plans and dates for the semester. The designs were carried out according to the themes of the semesters, Stray Roads and Ships, So-Si-Y was represented on the forum committee by Helen Anderson, who was general chairman for the annual Forum dinner-dance held Thursday evening, April 23, at the Y. W. C. A. Other So-Si-Y girls who assisted with this affair are Helen Doenges and Vir- ginia Greiner, who were on the invitations committee. To find and give the best is its purpose, and in endeavoring to do this, the club follows the Girl Re- serve code, which is as follows: As a Girl Reserve, I will try to be gracious in manner, impartial in judg- ment, ready for service, loyal to friends, reaching toward the best, earnest in purpose, seeing the beauti- ful, eager for knowledge, reverent to God, victorious over self, ever dependable, sincere at all times. 79 THE TOTEM 1936 First Row: B.

And ever since the beginning of South Side, this school,s students have furthered an active interest in art through the Art Club. Nlembership includes both boys and girls. Searching for beauty in life is the club's aimg and, realizing that art is an expression of character, phil- osophy, and purpose, Art Club has made a serious study of beauty become realf' The Arts Afternoon was the club's big fall fea- ture. Sonia Velkofl: was in complete charge of all arrangements. It was held in the Greeley Room on Wednesday, November 13, as a part of the National Education Week program. The program was planned to illustrate the various forms of Art-graphic and plastic art, the art of the dance, music and drama. An interesting exhibit from the Little Art Colony of Still- water, Minnesota, was secured by Miss Dochterman. Kenneth Scott was in charge of this exhibit illustrating graphic art. Some of the artists whose work was dis- played are Josephine Lutz, Cameron Booth, Alex- ander Masley, Elmer I-larmes, and his wife, Adrienne Etcsse. Mr. F. Stark, an instructor at the Fort Wayne Art School, gave a demonstration to show the plastic arts. The art of the dance was shown by Betty Roose, who presented a classical tap dance called Poet and Peas- ant. She was accompanied at the piano by Florence lVlcGaffay. Drama was illustrated by an exception- ally well-portrayed monologue entitled Renting an Apartment, given by Ann Abbett. The music for the program was under the direction of Marjorie Dancer, 80 Wrecl-:less They Call who also presented a vo- cal solo. An instrumental number was given by Bet- ty Kriescher. During the whole afternoon, South Side's Little Symphony furnished the music. A very interesting student exhibit was hung in the hall outside of the Gree- ley Room. This consisted mostly of water color compositions m a d e by the students who were learning the new tech- nique which was demon- strated by the Little Art Colony exhibit. This part of the program was un- der the direction of Janet Fisher. The affair was in the form of a tea. The president, Georgianna Jacobs, and the vice-president, Elizabeth Linhart, poured. Hostesses who served in- cluded Ann Hull, Betty Meigs, Martha Franz, Judy Kroeff, Maxine Roth, Virginia Vesey, Rosemary Chap- pell, Marjorie Mitten, Selma Liff, Joan Bonsib, Mary Martha Hobrock, Ellen Woods, Marie Mitchel, and Frances Craig. The hospitality committee consisted of Joan Bonsib, Delbert Leininger, Hollis Logue, Louis Bonsib, George Anna Martin, and Norman Miller. Attractive invitations, which were designed by art students, were sent to the members of the school board, Superintendent and Mrs. Abbett, prominent Fort Wayne artists, parents of Art Club members, and the members of the South Side faculty. Art students who were club members derived great pleasure at Christmas time, making small clay and cork animals which were sent as gifts to the children at the Irene Byron Sanitarium. Thank-you letters were received from the children by Miss Dochterman, the faculty adviser of the Art Club. Baskets were filled and sent to the poor at both Thanksgiving and Christ- mas time. 'The annual Christmas paper was designed and sold by art students in the club. This was the seventh year that the Art Club has sponsored the sale of this paper. This colorful, well-designed linoleum-cut paper was printed in two shades of green. A delightful Christmas party was planned for the December meeting. Mrs. Vera Lane read The Van- ishing Princessn in a most charming and entertaining manner. Refreshments in keeping with the holiday season were served. THE TOTEM 1936 Painters- I t A r' t ! BY MAXINE Rom The 'tMelodie Mati- neel' was held on Febru- ary Z6 in the Greeley Room. It proved to be a very entertaining pro- gram because of the great variety of talent. Regin- ald Gerig presented a piano solo. His selections included Pell Street by Withorne and Sequid- illa by Albeniz. A tap dance was given by Helen Gray, and Joe Bex gave several imitations, among which were t h o s e of Father Coughlin, Edwin C. Hill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and many oth- ers. A very clever Irish monologue was presented by Helen Potterf. Bob Augsburger sang Take Me Back to My Boots and Saddle, after which Marjorie Dancer sang Please Believe Me.

The second semester officers included, president, Rosemary Chappellg vice- president, Kenneth Scott, secretary, Mary Ellen Woods and Marie Mitchel, treasurer, Stuart Trulockg social council, Selma Liif, chairman, Ruth Stoner, Mar- jorie Dancer, Maxine Roth, and George Anna Martin. The various activities of the club are planned to exemplify the creed and to emphasize the beauty in living. The sole purpose of the club is to develop a love for beauty and to stimulate a desire to look for beauty everywhere and to live a beautiful life. The outstanding social activity of Spring was the Art Club dance held on April 25 in the Greeley Room. It is always a long remembered dance, because of the uniqueness and originality in decorations. This dance was characteristic of art in that the decorations were, as always, exquisitely different and colorful. As usual the dance was planned so that a variety of cos- tumes could be worn by the students. Rosemary Chappell was in general charge of this prom. The decorations were very modern, the entire effect being achieved by the useof lights. The blend- ing of violet, green, and yellow flood lights was worked out by Rosemary Chappell, president, and Kenny Scott, decorations chairman. The room was cleared of everything except one modern unit and the light- ing scheme. The programs carried out the colors used in the First Row: B. Schultz, B. Meigs, S. Velkoff, M. Roth, R. Chappell, E. Tgney, R. Stoner. Second Row: C. Kern, M. Franz, M. Rippe, P. Kilpatrick, M. Newell. Third Row: Faulkner, L. Bonsib, S. Trulock. decoration scheme, with a combination of colors of converging rays of light. These colors were suggestive of spring and the radiation of colors. Mary Martha Hobrock and her committee, composed of Sonia Velk- off, Janet Fisher, Marie Mitchell, Billie Mauk, Betty Lickert, Richard Schaefer, and Louis Bonsib, had charge of this phase of the preparation for the prom. Chaperones for the dance were Mr. and Mrs. Merle J. Abbett, R. Nelson Snider, Miss Martha Pittenger, Miss Dorothy Magley, Miss Erma Dochterman, and the officers' parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Chappell, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Trulock, and Mrs. H. F. Scott. Selma Liff was ticket chairman and was assisted by Janet Fisher, Marjorie Dancer, George Anna Martin, Ruth Stoner, Louis Bonsib, Stuart Trulock, Joan Lohman, and Rosemary Chappell. The publicity committee was headed by Joan Bonsib. Also on this committee were Joyce Spencer and Fritz Lohman. Kenneth Scott, chairman of the decoration commit- tee, was aided by Robert Bergel, Sue Wallace, Ina Claire Chappell, Delbert Leininger, Jean Fortriede, Maxine Rippe, Aubrey Kellogg, Richard Orr, June Close, Ann Hull, Irene Niemeyer, William Gould, Betty Carey, and Thelma Kuttler. Maxine Roth was chairman of the orchestra committee with Delbert Leininger and Virginia Worden helping her. As a fitting climax for the conclusion of the Art Club activities during their successful year under the leadership of Miss Dochterman and the club oflficers, a picnic was held at the close of the spring term. This was held at one of Fort Wayne,s beauty spots, a near- by park. Pleasant thoughts of this picnic will linger long in the memories of the members.

The officers were Virginia Baumgartner, president, Rowena Bevington, vice-president, Georg- etta Mclntire, secretary, Geneva Shearer, treasurer, Beatrice Schieber, foreign secretary, Margaret Crank- shaw, Inter-Club Congress representative, and Charles Thorne, sergeant-at-arms. Miss Mabel Thorne is the faculty adviser. At the first meeting the members were taken to Washington, D. C. Virginia Greiner and Mary Kay Smith, who were Travel Club's representatives to the National Red Cross Convention, told of their-experi- ence in Washington while attending this convention. The other places which were visited during the fall semester were New Orleans, Louisiana, Yellowstone Parkg Salem, Massachusetts, Seattle, Washington, San Diego, California, and Key West, Florida, with Mar- jorie lVleyer, Justine Crum, Mary Michaels, Eliza Bess Lucas. Ruth Fowler, and Martha Franz as chairmen, respectively. The last trip of the semester was the 82 BY VIRGINIA BAUMGARTNER much-anticipated trip to Bell's rink. The party was held January 24. Rowena Bevington was in general charge. The programs this year have been exceedingly in- teresting. One of the most interesting talks about travel was given by Ida W. Langford, who organized the Travel Club in Fort Wayne. She talked about Key West, Florida. Oth- er outstanding programs of the year included talks about Salem, Massachus- etts, by Miss McCloskey, and about Japan, by Mr. Ward O. Gilbert. The annual night party was held in November. The program consisted of an amateur hour with Major Leona Menze. After the program, the guests were entertained with games and dancing. The first meeting of every semester is a Red Cross meeting. Although Travel Club is not entire- ly a Red Cross club, the members try to do some- thing each year to help out t h i s organization. Each spring the club sends two representatives to the National Red Cross Convention. Miss Marjorie Snydor, who is secretary of the F o r t Wayne Junior Red Cross, spoke at the first meeting of the spring semester. Installation of oH'icers was held. Catherine Allendorph, Walter Prange, Virginia Grein- er, Lorraine Meyer, Martha Franz, Margery Ruhl, and Donald Hickman were installed as president, vice- president, secretary, foreign secretary, treasurer, Inter- Club Congress representative, and sergeant-at-arms, respectively, for the second semester. The newly-elected executive board decided that schoolmates in Other Landsn would be the theme of the spring semester. The destinations and the pro- gram chairmen were: Japan, Leona Menze, Egypt, Harriet Basford, Germany, Virginia Baumgartnerg Holland, Anna Bremer, France, Helen Doenges, Can- ada, Margaret Ruhl, and Prospectus, Theo Schuer- enberg. Each spring rhe annual Senior picnic is held. Since last year's outing in Huntington was so successful, the club decided to have it out of town again this year. The picnic, a farewell party for the seniors, is always the outstanding affair of the second semester activities. THE TOTEM 1936 Actors Happen Even In The Best Of Families The play's the thing wherein I'11 catch the con- science of the king, quoth Hamlet. And every Archer bade well to be a king during the last school year, for drama was given the student body in liberal portions by the Student Players' Club. But we would not infer that Archers were like Hamlet's rascally king, for they appreciated the drama better than he. Since all good clubs need good leaders, the Student Players' Club elected Dick Helm, presi- dent, Ruth Rose, vice- presidentg and Barbara Uran, secretary-treasurer for the fall semester at the first meeting. With these determined officers, the second meeting of October, the year, in started affairs oH: with a bang! Selma Lil? faced and gave the footlights a side-splitting mono- logue, Blue-Black Wi- dow, Helen Doenges reviewed a current playg and Catherine Allen- dorph read the Shadow on the Blindf' in which a minister fyes, a minis- terll was accused of beating his wife with a poker! Just like professionalsv was the remark from the audience when Charles Hart, Don Sparkman, Maxine Rippe, and Mary Louise Helms gave uBehind the Screen for the November meeting. Charles Hus- band Hart misinterpreted some remarks that Don Hero Sparkman said to Maxine Q'Wifey Rippe, and, adding still more to the mix-up, Mary Heroine Helms told Husband Hart that he was nothing but a shrimp. So ended another delightful meeting. It's An Ill Wind -Scene: A photographer,s stu- dio in a little village.

In January, cherry blossoms and oriental music ad- ded to the Japanese atmosphere of the South Side in- itiates' performance at the annual joint meeting of the three S. P. C. clubs at North Side High School. Bar- bara Uran, with the aid of the committee, spent many hours leafing through books, planning and directing the beautiful ceremony, A Japanese Wedding. The committee was composed of Luther Procise, Theo Schurenberg, Kenny Scott, Barbara Uran, Bon Silene Craig, Margaret Crankshaw, and Bob Harruff. The BY KENNETH SCOTT result was a beautiful and colorful ceremony, which won first prize for the best program of the three schools. Billie Mauk and Dalton McAlister won the prizes for the best individual performances. lVleat loaf, pickles, bean-salad sandwiches, baked beans, cake, and-do I go for potato chips. This First Row: C.

They were: Bob Harruff, presidentg Bon Silene Craig, vice-president, and Bar- bara Uran, secretary-treasurer. The club's capable and versatile director, Margery Suter, completed successfully numerous programs and entertainments with brilliant success. The annual one- act plays were given the seventh period in the study hall in February. In Columbine, Minnie, a hard- ened, practical-minded, and cynical young woman, was played by Ann Abbett. Columbine, a dreamer who was untouched by her sordid surroundings, was played by Jo-Anne Smith. Also in the month of February Miss Suter directed a. play, 'cThe Short Cut, which was broadcasted on South Side night over station WQWO. Bob was played by Bob Harruff, and Steve was played by Kenny Scott. There were 140 members fthink of itll in the good old S. P. C. this year. 83 THE TOTEM 1936 First Row: T. Ervin, C. Wells, B.

The purpose of the club is best expressed in the Sunshine Creed, which 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 safe and more beautiful place in which to live. Thus will my own life become rich and complete. The two faculty advisers who have so competently guided the society are the Misses Edith and Mary Crowe. Any girl may join. The officers who served the club during the first semester of the past year were Iona Schuler, president, Thelma Erwin, vice-president, Caroline Dirmeyer, secretary, Frances Rygowski, treas- urerg Dorothy Zaegel, sergeant-at-arms, and Betty Jean Snyder, Inter - Club Congress representative. Those students who served as ofhcers for the second semester of the school year are: Hazel Noll, president, jean Hildebrand, vice-president, Dorothy Zaegel, sec- retary, Eileen Fuelling, treasurer, Mary Ellen Kilpat- rick, sergeant-at-arms, and Francile Shepler, Inter- Club Congress representative. 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 states that a meet- ing must be held at least once a month and that the club must collect dues of at least five cents a semester. Most outstanding among the club's events scheduled for the past year was the entertainment of other Sun- shine Clubs at the annual Fall District II Convention on October the fifth. Representatives from approxi- mately thirty other high school clubs of Indiana at- tended. The general theme for the convention was 84 Bright Lights BYV.HOI.'l'MAN Scattering Sun- s h i n ef, T h e morningpro- gram, which was held in the study h a 11, featured s h o r t welcome speeches by Iona Schuler, Mayor Baals, Merle Abbett, Miss Pit- tenger, and Mrs. Sandefur, State Sunshine dean. Mr. R. Nelson Snider gave the principal address of the morning session. Alumnae members of the South Side Sunshine Club presided over discussion groups as part of the program for the convention. After lunch was served in the cafeteria, the guests were entertained by the New Haven Sun- shine Society in the study hall. After this entertain- ment, the Sunshiners attended the football game be- tween South Side and Peru. The annual spring con- vention, to which the Sunshine Club sent a large group of representatives, was held at Monon. The South Side Sunshine Club also joined the other clubs of Indiana in making its annual contribution to the Riley Fund. The money that is donated to this fund is used to purchase surgical equipment and other supplies for the Riley Hospital in Indianapolis. At Christmas time the members had an opportunity to participate in a very worthy project. They went to the Anti-Tuberculosis League headquarters several times just before Christmas to fold seals. They folded thousands of Christmas seals and put them in en- velopes. The Sunshine Club also finds time, in spite of its many service projects, to take part in a large number of social affairs. The Halloween party was unusually successful. At Thanksgiving a very appropriate play was presented, and at Christmas there was a program very fitting to the season. On February 15, the club sponsored a skating party, which was attended by a large number of South Side students. In the Spring the annual Mother-Daughter Tea was the outstanding social event, Since the Sunshine Society is so necessary to the school, it is well to remember a few facts concerning its beginning. The first club of the Sunshine Society was organized in Crawfordsville High School, the sec- ond club was organized in Lebanon High School in 1910. Ours came considerably later. ill THE TOTEM 1936 .gl l 1 5sr History Repeats Itself--Social Science Never Social Science . . . intelligent members, an intelli- gent club. Dedicated to promoting a serious interest in the social sciences, this club has long ranked high in school leadership. From a current events study in the fall to a magazine campaign to buy the school a movie machine in the spring, the accent has been on projects of real value. The club is composed of thirty juniors and seniors of high scholastic standing who have passed rigid en- trance requirements. Topics of Current Interest was the theme around which the year's program was constructed. The commit- tee responsible for the fine programs consisted of Dick l lelm, chairman, Ann Abbett, and Manuel Rothberg. At the first meeting of the year, the club touched upon the international relations of countries. Dr. Paul H. Krauss discussed the Economic and Political As- pects of the Italo-Ethiopian Conflictf, This meeting was thrown open to all members of the history, civics, and economics classes who were interested in hearing the talk. At another meeting an insight into the intricate workings of the Fort Wayne city government was gained. Mr. Gordon Foster, editor of the Fort Wayne Municipal Boosterf, read a paper on city government. The case for the Ainerican Legion was presented by Mr. Argo Vegaleus of Fort Wayne Post No. 47 of the American Legion. Indiana I-listoryf' a subject of prime importance to every Hoosier but woefully neglected in the classroom, was discussed by a student well versed in the subject, Mr. Willis Richardson, social science instructor at Cen- tral High School.

A demonstration of Filmosound, a talking mov- ing picture machine, provided an entertaining program for another meeting in a lighter vein. The Math- Science Club was the guest of the Social Science Club at this meeting. One of the larger projects undertaken by the club for the year was an attempt to organize all high school social science clubs in the state into a state-wide affilia- tion of clubs of this type. On Armistice Day, the Social Science Club spon- sored an assembly in commemoration of the seven- teenth anniversary of the signing of the armistice. Rob- ert Adams, general chairman, introduced Mr. Vern Gingher, former post-commander of the American Legion, who in turn introduced Dr. Miles F. Porter. Dr. Porter delivered an inspiring, militant address concerning youth and the next war. The officers of the club for the fall semester were: Robert Adams, president, john Bex, vice-president, Manuel Rothberg, secretary, Mildred Foellinger, Inter- Club Congress representative, and Bryce Minier, ser- geant-at-arms. During the spring semester, the club chose for its oHicers Manuel Rothberg, president, William Schafer, vice-president, Robert Adams, secretary, Ruth Road- cap, Inter-Club Congress representative, and Robert Storm, sergeant-at-arms. Miss Eleanor Smeltzly and Mr. Wilburn Wilson very capably executed the duties of faculty advisers of the club. In the spring semester, a magazine campaign was sponsored by the group. It resulted in the securing for South Side, a Victor talking-picture machine. B. Minier, H. Doenges, T. Leininger. Roadcap, A. Abbett, J. Smith, S. Knudson, J. Fisher, R.

If ever you notice anyone cutting a copy of the Times in tiny pieces and stamping a neat Past Due- Please Remitn upon each piece, don't think him crazy, for he is merely fixing point sheet clippings for 1500 Club aspirants. The 1500 Club is a journalistic club which is the only club directly connected with the Times, the school's weekly publication. Many a Times worker, be he freshman or be he senior, desires membership in this famous club. One gains membership when he has earned 1500 points for the work he has done on the Times. Points are given to students for any kind of work they may do on the Times, from folding papers to being general manager. When a person be- comes a member of the club, he is given a bronze pin to signify his membership. This pin is made in the likeness of a linotype matrix and is crossed with a quill. It makes a very attractive pin. This pin is just the be- ginning. One doesn't stop here. After earning 1,500 points, he strives for 3,000 points. At this time he is presented with a silver pin, which is even more attrac- tive than the bronzeg and it makes the owner just a little prouder than before. Now we're just getting nicely started. To be sure, if he attains the 5,000 mark there is another reward. This time it is a gold pin, which brings forth many an envious glance. There is yet another pin to be earned. To be deserving of a gold-jeweled pin, one must have earned enough points to reach the 10,000 mark. This sounds almost im- possible, but it has been done I assure you. In fact nine dignified seniors, Ann Abbett, Louis Bonsib, Rose- mary Chappell, Bryce Minier, George Anna Martin, Jim Sweet, lVlary Anne Fark, Norman Buck, Manuel 86 7-W -YW .

A club usually has certain work of a rather serious nature. As yet we have been unable to hnd any for the 1500 Club. It is purely a pleasure club, and its one and only function is to have potlucks- and they really are potlucksl Never has there been a club more noted for its pot- lucks than the 1500 Club. And why should there be? Since this is the only function of the club, a great deal of at- tention is given to it. Their potlucks are packed full of fun, frolic, and food. If one doesnlt get enough to eat at a 1500 Club potluck, it is his own fault. The club has four officers. Each is representative of one of the numbers in the name of the club. The president not only represents the number one, but he is also the number one officer. There is the vice- president next who represents the number five. Then comes the secretary, who, although he represents the number equaling nothing, he certainly equals a great deal more in reality. The treasurer, too, represents nothing in the number, but we know that he is really worth more than that. The duties of these officers are just like those of other club officers. However, the tasks aren't as burdensome for the club meets only for its potlucks, which occur monthly. The officers for this year are: President, Bryce Minierg vice-president, Harriett Yappg secretary, Ruth Cvarrisong and treasurer, Jim Sweet. The club was founded in 1925 as a method of re- ward for those people who did a little better than the average on the Times and the Totem staff. It has served as an incentive to those interested in journal- istic work and desiring to put forth work deserving of a reward. At present there are just forty-three of the var- ious types of pins in circulation throughout the stu- dent body. This is indeed a small number compared to the entire number in the student body, thus show- ing that it isn't exactly easy to become a member of this club as one might be led to think. This year three honorary members were taken into 1500 Club. Dorothy Crabill, Helen Anderson, and Bernadette Dygert were distinguished with this honor because they were elected to Quill and Scroll Honor- ary Society in the fall semester. ingly donated his spare time to its success. Warning: Be Nice To Our Riflersl BY CLARICE RUDY AND WILLIAM HERBERMEHL The gloom of subterranean passages nearly blots the miles of overhead pipe from sight. Around a dirty corner at the far end of a passage Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson stealthily peek. Faint voices are heard from far down the tun- nel, a point of light comes from the same direction as the voices. l'1istl,' says Sherlock. 'lThere's dirty work afoot! Then comes a gun shot! It echoes and re-echoes through the dusty air. Sherlock and Watson rush toward the light. They jump around the corner and face-the South Side Rifle Club in session. South Side's Rifle Club was organized in the fall semester of 1931. It did not come into prominence, however, until 1932, when the team won the silver cup which is awarded to the winner of the Allen County Rifle match. THE TOTEM 1936 First Row: Mr. Windmiller, C. Sidle, L. Cook. C. Rudy, R. Certia, Loomis, B. Rayl, Miss DeLancey. Second Row: F. Knight, D. Elfner, Spencer, F. Knight, V. Mac- Namara, M. Mayland, M. Crago, Roberson. Third Row: A. Ferguson, C. Hauck, O. Paul, A. Sholty, A. Pontius, W. Hebermehl, K. Fairfield, Spencer. Fourth Row: R. Ferguson, W. Fuhrrnan, V. Cook, O. Goebel, M. Fris- inger, K. Allway, R. Stair. ,The club is made up of two separate groups. One group is composed entirely of boys and is under the direction of Mr. Windmillerg the other group is made up entirely of girls and is instructed by Miss De- Lancey. Steady shooting and a good scoring ability develop skill and good nerves that in later years may be bene- ficial to the student. At present there are fifty mem- bers in the club, twenty-eight boys and twenty-two girls. The two sections practice weekly, the boys on Tuesday and the girls on Wednesday evenings. The boys' activities for the year extended to eight rifle matches held outside of the school. The record it made is one to be envied by all school teams. This team was successful in seven of its contests but lost one by a very close score to North Side. .The outstanding event of the girls, activities is the outdoor shoot which is held every fall. The girls' section also had a social meeting this spring. It was in the form of a chili supper held at Miss DeLancey's apartment. The club was first formed by Risher Hall and Jack Wynn with the aid of Mr. Thomas, a former indus- trial arts teacher at South Side. Both Risher and Jack have graduated, but they often visit the rifle range when the club is there. When Mr. Thomas left, the club was left without a sponsor. Mr. Sidell, seeing the plight of the boys, willingly took the re- sponsibility of being the adviser. Mr. Sidell was well qualified for his work with the team but later, finding himself hard-pressed for time, was forced to give up the position. Again the club was hard-pressed for a sponsor, Mr. Windmiller came to the rescue and will- The club has quite an array of rifles and telescopes. These articles are very important to all members of the organization. The club also awards a six-inch letter Sn to those who attain a required marksman- ship record. An emblem, signifying the Rifle Club is placed in the center of the letter. Une hundred eighty points constitute the marks- manship record which must be obtained before one can possess this letter. Twenty points are gained each time a rating is passed, and ten are given for every meeting attended, in this way, the letter is earned. The girls who have thus far earned their letters are Joyce Spencer, Clarice Rudy, LaVonne Cook, and Frances Knight. Letters, however, are not the only symbols of marks- manship that are displayed upon the person of the various members of this club. A small cross-rifle pin, which is the property of Miss DeLancey, is given to the girl who has the highest score at a meeting. The girl is then allowed to wear this pin until the next meeting is held, at which time it is awarded to the one who happens to be the highest scorer at that meeting. As it is considered by all the girls a great honor and privilege to be permitted to wear this pin it not only stimulates the desire to shoot accurately, but it turns this phase of the meeting into a contest, The ofiicers of the club for the fall semester were: Vincent Cook, president, Rodney Stair, boys' secre- tary, Rose Anne Certia, girls' secretary, Jane Loomis, treasurer, Elizabeth Linhart, range ofiicer. The team personnel consists of: Vincent Cook, George Glenn, William Nickerson, Max Goddard, and Bill Heber- mehl. 87 THE TOTEM 1936 He Who Loves Music --Can Love Anything BY MIRIAM LICKERT Nearly every day of the year, passers-by on Clinton Shrine Club were entertained by a mixed quartet com- Street may hear strains of music Hoating about the at- posed of Helen Flaig, harpist, Margaret Null, Vera mosphere from that direction of the boiler room. Not that the music is louder than the sounds suggested by boilers-our boilers are quiet-but that our industrious musicians are preparing more euphonic sounds for the ears of the multitude. Mr. Wainwright is in his third year of directing music activities at South Side: and he is continuing his plan of having the band, the or- chestra, the boys' glee club, and the girls' glee club as the four major organizations in the department. Many and varied are the calls that come in to the music department- sometimes for small groups, trios or quartets, often for larger groups, glee clubs or orchestras-and Mr. Wainwright does his best to fill the calls. A string quartet played before the primary-kindergarten section of the teachers' convention on October 17 and 18. Ir was made up of Mary Jo Allen, first violin, Georgianna Jones, second violin, Helen Kreischer, 'cellog and Evelyn Lehman, viola. At a joint session, compositions were played by an ensemble comprised of Bob Weihe, violin, Vernon Gregory, viola, Margaret Rehm, 'cellog Mar- garet Null, flute, and Mryon Jones, clarinet.

One of the new organizations in the music department this year is the dance orchestra which was formed during the First semester. It has pro- vided music for many tea dances, and it also helped in making the Christmas party in the music room on December 20 a big success. The guests at the party also enjoyed a specialty tap dance which was accom- panied by the orchestra. The chorus and orchestra did their part in adding to the spirit of Christ- mas. They entertained many busy shoppers and business men with carols during the holiday season. The South Side Music Departa ment was highly honored in being the first to be allowed to broadcast on the new series of programs spons- ored by the Holsum Bakery Com- pany. The broadcast, which took place on Monday, February 17, was given by the entire chorus. Carrying out the plan used last year, the music department held music assemblies with the usual five- cent admission price. The money that is taken in from these concerts is used for improvements in the de- partment. The first music assembly was a band concert given on October 29. First Row: G. Strahlem, M. Null, P.

His solo, Columbia, by Robinson was accom- panied by the band. A trio composed of Margaret Null and George Strahlen, Hut- ists, and Helen Flain, harpist, played 'iMoonlight and Rosesf' The second concert on December 20, was planned by Miss Patterson and Mr. Wainwright. The skit, Christmas Fan- tasyf' was presented with an orchestral accompaniment of Reve Angeliquei' by Kamennoi-Ostrow. The chorus sang Hal- lelujah Chorusi' from the Messiah, and the orchestra played Christmas Echoes and The Voice of Chimes. On Tuesday, February 4, the third of the series was held. This was a very un- usual assembly since three of the out- standing musicians of Fort Wayne were featured.

The fourth concert on February 25, was given by the Central forty-eight piece symphony under the direction of Mr. Gaston Bailhe. Special numbers in- cluded a violin concerto by Mendelssohn and a violin, 'cello, and piano trio that played the First Movement in G Minor by Chausson. No doubt, the most outstanding feature of this year's work was the part played by the music depart- ment in the vaudeville show which was given with the Girls, Athletic Association. There were two per- formances of this show given, one in the afternoon, First Row: R. Pflueger, M. Nahrwold, B. Bond, Bly, G. and the other in the evening. This unusual show was under the direction of Miss Alice Patterson and Miss Gretchen Smith of the girls' gym department and Mr. Xvainwright of the music department.

They need nothing so unpleasant as pebbles to teach them how to speak. In fact, con- sidering their young age, they probably speak better than Demosthenes. And who can doubt it when, instead of pebbles, they have our Miss Benner to teach them how to speak? At least they're not rocky speakers. Heading the list of public speaking events is the semi-annual extemporaneous speech contest. Fifty-four students were entered in the first contest which was held on January 7 and 8. Nine contests were held during the first day, and one winner from each group was chosen. These win- ners were Helen Flaig, Sybil Knudson, Dalton McAlister, Manuel Rothberg, Ruth Rose, Leona Menze, Mary Michaels, Gwen Horn, and Rosemary Chappell. The winners in the final contest were Manuel Rothberg and Ruth Rose, tied for first placeg Rosemary Chappell, second place, and Dalton McAlister, third place. Louis Bonsib acted as chairman for this contest. Those placing second in the first nine contests were: Dorothy Golden, Vernon Miller, Helen Kelsey, Bill Fries, Donald Redman, Thekla Leininger, Robert Ad- ams, Helen Doenges, and Charles Hart. Third places went to Dick Helm, Mary Kay Smith, Helen Anderson, Ruth Berning, Tom Jaenicke, Bernadette Dygert, Rebecca Wermuth, Vir- ginia Vesey, Mary Louise Helms, Janet Fisher, and June Haeger.

BY RUTH BORMUTH Several years ago, the Philatelic Society of South Side was organized for peo- ple who are interested in stamp collecting. This club is one of the most recently organized clubs in South Side. It admits to member- ship any student or faculty member interested in any phase of philately. The ofhcers for the fall semester were: Homer Mil- L ler, president, John Thack- ery, vice-president, Dalton McAlister, secretary, Fisher R e h r e r, treasurer, John Jackson, sergeant-at - armsg and John Thackery, Inter- Club Congressman. Spring semester oHicers were: John Jackson, president, Dorothy Aldridge, vice- presidentg Mary Ellen Kilpatrick, secretary, Emily Lepper, treasurer, Rosemary Shea, sergeant-at-arms, and John Thackery, Inter-Club Congressman. Club meetings are held monthly on Wednesday. GERMAN CLUB MEMBERS ENJOY TALKING GERMAN uparlez-vous francais? No, we don't expect you to, because this is the Ger- man Club. After four years of pros- perous activity, the German Club has become one of the outstanding clubs of South Side. The purpose of the club is to attain a greater knowledge of the speech, literature, music, and cus- toms of the German people. With Miss Clara- Schmidt as the adviser, the club has been ably guided through- out the year. The programs at the meet- ings, which were held every other Wednesday in the Voorhees room, included speeches on German sub- jects by members of the club, faculty, or people who have visited or lived in Germany or who are particularly interested in the German people. To begin the activities of the year, the club held a wiener bake at Foster Park. German games and a vocabulary match were the features of an October BY RUTH ROADCAP First Row: E. B. Lucas, L.

LETTERMEN SHOW THEIR STUFF FOR SOUTH SIDE Courting Lady Luck through their thir- teenth successful year, the Lettermen's Club of South Side passed 1935-36 boost- ing South Side and South Siders in ath- letics and school projects. The club was founded in the spring of 1923 and was first known as the Varsity Club. There were then fifteen members. This enrollment has gradually increased to the present membership of twenty-two with two honorary members. Its purpose is to unite more closely South Side's ath- letes and to promote better athletics. This year the club again had very ca- pable officers. Under the faculty adviser- ship of Mr. A. Verne Flint, the club's ac- tivities were run off very smoothly. The ofhcers were: Fred Nye, president, Bud Lee, vice-president, and Joe Close, secre- tary. Much credit is due them for the success that the club had. During the course of the year, the club promoted many successful activities. The most important affair of the year for them, however, was the annual Letter- men's Prom held in the Greeley Room on December 14. Besides this, they held two or three banquets, one 92 BY ED KRUSE First Row: D. Dochterman, C, Hall, F. Nye, C. Stone, D. Faux. Second Row: A. Faux, M. Harrison, Hines, B. Lee, H. Makey, Dern.

On acquiring a satisfactory grade at the finish of a year of Latin, those interested in furthering their study of Roman life are urged to join the Societas Romana. This club, under the sponsorship of Miss PARIS IN THE SPRING BY VIRGINIA GARDNER Alda Jane Woodward. Mrs. Grace Welty, and Mr. Martin Rothert, has been in existence since 1932. Every member has had the pleasure of talcing part in the various pro- grams that were given during the year. For the first time in the history of the club, an individual yearbook was created in which a complete sched- ule of the meetings for 1935-1935 was recorded and outlined. For these yearboolcs, three by three and one- half inch Perry pictures of a god or goddess, were distributed to members at each meeting. The work of the Latin Club has been carried on through the co-operation of the members under the capable leadership of Virginia Gardner, presidentg Virginia Greiner, vice-president, Constance Haag, sec- retary-treasurerg and Robert Schimel, delegate to the Inter-Club Congress. IS MORE THAN A SONG! One might say that Frenchmen and the mem- bers of French Club have something in common- they speak the same lan- guage. Supplementary to regular French class work, the club is a veri- table bunch of French- mengn for they speak French almost incessant- ly at meetings. To be eligible for mem- bership in this club, one must have studied French at least one semester and must have obtained a grade of B or above. Olive Perkins has the adviser of Le Francais since 1932. the past, French has been taught at South Side Miss been Cerle In by Miss Mildred Brigham, Miss Sylvia Dennis, and Miss Rose Delancey.

South Side, hearing of congressional doings so often, just couldn't fail to have a real school congress to inspire us on to better things. Each school group sends a senator,', and these Tnter-Club Congressmen compose the group. In the fall semester of 1935 a constitution was drawn up and accepted by a unanimous vote of all the mem- bers. It provided that there be a regular meeting BY MORGAN HARRISON every other Monday, that the members represent the same organization twice in succession, and that there be an election for a chairman and a secretary every semester. Miss Emma Kiefer, Mr. C. A. Bex, and Mr. A. Verne Flint acted as ad- visers for Inter-Club Congress. For the fall semester, Bryce Minier served as chairman, and Morgan Harrison served as secretary. For the spring semester, Charles Stone was elected chairman, and Theo Schurenberg was elected secretary. Many different projects have been sponsored by the Inter-Club Congress during the past year. The distribution of Christmas baskets for the needy and the decoration of the Greeley and Voorhees rooms for Christmas were carried out through the co-operation of club members. In March, the Inter-Club Congress, with the aid of the School Press and Booster Club, held the annual Get-Acquainted Day, which has proved to be a very worthwhile and popular event among the students. This year's Clean-Up Compaign was begun under the sponsorship of the fall semester members and success- fully completed by spring semester representatives. THEY LEARN TO PULL STRINGS - ON A MARIONETTE Ever since the Egyptian priests fright- ened their people with small Figures carved of wood and ivory and operated by strings, the marionette has developed until it now affords enjoyment to all peoples of the world. To be a successful member, one must possess skilled fingers, a little artistic and dramatic ability, ambition, and an unusual amount of patience. The success of this club depends upon members who have those characteristics and the valuable aid and instruction of a likewise skilled ad- viser, Miss Dorothy Magley, Little Mr. Picklenosef, the first of the club,s productions, was given at the sopho- more party two years ago, soon after the organization of the group by Miss Dorothy Magley, faculty adviser. Later, Christmas Carolf' by Dickens was given with John Bex and Kenny Scott playing the leading roles, The rest of the cast included Mildred Hoff, Norman Budde, Louise Closs, Robert Weihe, Emily Gardner, and Nlary Anne Fark. Other members of the group helped back stage. All spent much time in making the marionettes. A stage was borrowed from Norman Budde, a more experienced member of the club who directs his own performances. Proceeds of the pro- duction were used in purchasing material for the stage. 94 BY GEORGE ANNA MARTIN First Row: E. B. Lucas, M. Meyer, G. Mclntire, H. Faux, Dyer, Miss Magley. Second Row: L.

Abracadabra,,' the most recent production, included the following cast: Kenny Scott, John Bex, Norman Budde, Tom Sellers, Eliza Bess Lucas, Lorraine Mey- er, Mary Anne Fark, and Helen Faux. The play went over with great success. The proceeds were used for purchasing material to make more marionettes. Officers of the club are Kenny Scott, president, Doreen Russel, secretary, Norman Budde, treasurer, Lorraine Meyer, Inter-Club Congress representative. This club is really growing and, as far as accomp- lishments are concerned, may rival any other club in South Side.
