NELSON SNIDER THE TOTEM 1937 THE TECHNICIANS As The Magnificent Procession moves on we see a group, made notice- able because of their understanding look and dignity of step. Once these faculty members were thought of as super-human beingsf, living in an in- tellectual world and thinking only in terms of the fourth dimension, but this is no longer the case. Faculty mem- bers now march along with the students in the parade of learning, and are looked upon by students as older, wiser brothers to whom they may go for advice. Daily they must listen to the many, many excuses and requests offered by a group of almost two thousand stu- dents and in spite of all this come up smiling and ready to continue to co- operate with the student body. Twenty of these teachers have been working with our students since the founding of South Side. These teach- ers are the Misses Martha Pittenger, Elizabeth Demaree, Adelaide Fiedler, Rowena Harvey, Hazel Miller, Mary Helen Ley, Crissie Mott, Beulah Rine- hart, and Nlable Thorne, and the Messrs. H. Chappell, W. O. Gilbert, Elna Gould, Louis Hull, Earl March, Maurice Murphy, Benjamin Null, Deli- van Parks, Martin Rothert, Herbert Voorhees, and Lloyd Whelan. The faculty has almost doubled since 1922. There are now thirty-one man and thirty-nine woman teachers. This group contains seven teachers of science, sixteen of English, eight of so- cial science, two of art, six of foreign language, four of manual training, three of home economics, six commer- cial, four physical education, eight mathematics, one journalism, one pub- lic speaking, and one music. ln the fall of 1926 Mr. R. Nelson Snider came from James H. Smart School to serve as principal of South Side. He attended Ball State Teach- ers College at Muncie and received his M.A. degree at Columbia University. Mr. Snider is in general charge of the whole school and is responsible for scheduling all classes. Miss Martha Pittenger has acted as dean of girls at South Side since its origin.

Third Row: Nlisses Mary and Edith Crowe, Miss Hazel Miller her AB. degree from Indiana Univer- sity and took advanced work at Colum- bia University, takes charge of extra- curricular activities, organizes the health work for the school doctor, and advises students concerning their problems. Recently several new teachers have been added to our faculty. Mr. Ern- est Walker came to our commercial de- partment from Celina, Ohio. Miss Nlable Fortney taught at Foster Park Grade School before she took the place of Miss Mary Paxton, now retired, in our mathematics department. Miss Mary Pocock, who entered our Eng- lish department last year, has been gone for about two months on a leave of absence to continue her studies. Miss Pocock is a graduate of South Side. During last year Mr. Stuart Monroe was added to the manual train- ing department. Mr. H. McClure was succeeded as basketball coach by Mr. Burl Friddle, former coach at Washington High School at Washing- ton, lndiana, for ten years. Mr. Maur- ice Tudor, former teacher at Harri- son Hill grade school, also became one of the sixty-niners. Mr. Tudor takes care of athletic supplies. From the very first, South Side's students have been interested in extra- curricular activities until today we have thirty-eight clubs. Recognizing their value, the faculty immediately offered its fullest co-operation. In their fifteen years on the gridiron, our football teams have won eight citv series championships. Lundy Welborii acts as the Archer mentor. The music department gives valuable service to the whole school. It is di- rected by Mr. Jack Wainwright. This parade would not be complete without the office staff. Miss Dorothy Alderdice came to South Side in 1930 after graduating from Central High School and working two years at Hoag- land School. She takes care of the files and records, rents caps and gowns, sells invitations, takes care of locker distribution, holds money for clubs, is- sues school passes, and does general oHice work. Nliss Virginia Montgomery was grad- uated from our portals in 1930 and started to work here in 1931. She has charge of the study hall and acts as attendance officer.

Some of us realize, almost with tears in our eyes, that soon we'll be just another grad- uating class, the class of '37. That 1,937 symbol seemed a far-distant, terrifying, almost unapproachable goal some four years ago. Re- member then , ,Thatis the time we always managed to get lost in the halls, wasted precious minutes waiting for the elevator ,and finally rushed breathless- ly into class-late. But it was fun. More of us then broke the ice by attending the Sophomore Kid Party and acting the part as well. We took the bit into our own mouths then, and in our sophomore year, produced the never-to-be-forgob ten Gingham Gallopf, The Horse Race presented in the cafeteria, just after we had indulged in ice cream, cake, and punch, was most outstanding. ' Then came the dawn, or rather the year We began to regard ourselves as a real part of South Side High School. Yes, we had reached our third year. We used initiative that year and separated our Junior Prom from the Banquet. The upumpkin Pow Vfown was pre- sided over by Big Chief Jerry Zehr and was the sub- ject of our conversation for days afterward. We de- cided, then, to don rufiies and newly-pressed suits for the Junior Prom. The decorations were carried out in true naval style with even wet weather responding to our wet theme. We now recall that the help of our citizenship teach- ers was most valuable to us, for they were persistent in their efforts to have us join some of the extra-curricu- lar activities,of this awesome school. The promising held of clubs-Girl Reserve to Travel to Philatelic-ab tracted many of us, although some were inclined to 'ewait a bit. H ' 24 Now we're about to leave. The leadership of popu- lar Jim Dern and the friendly attitude of the entire senior class sufhce to make this year outstanding in our minds. Some of our stage-minded seniors went dramatic on us, and for a very good cause-the senior play. Upholding our class tradition for being some- what outstanding, they presented The Taming of the Shrew, the well-known Shakespearian play. Mildred Hoff, popular lead in the play, ably por- trayed the role of Katherina, the Shrew. The part of Katherinais suitor and ultimate downfall, Petruchio, was played by John Bex. Vernon Miller, as a rich gen- tleman of Padua, and Jim Dern, as the comic Grumio, also gave the necessary zip to the play to make it en- joyable to a large audience. The formerly unfamiliar names, Vincentio, Lucentio, Gremio, and Tranio, all lit into our minds now as part of us. Finally, then, we look to the Graduation Service it- self. The last rush and hurry just before graduation will etch itself in our memory, no matter how little is written or spoken about it. The speeches at the grad- uation service and the awards at the Recognition Day program also will be remembered, because we were in- terested and because they were likable. The senior dance, too, was a fitting climax to the gaiety of grad- uation activities. From the very first to our very last high school day, some have been perhaps a little more outstanding than the rest of us, some have excelled us in things we wanted with all our hearts, and, yet, with diplomas in our hands, we know that once again we are all fresh- iesn in the world we are going to conquer. Whatever the ups and downs may have been, we've enjoyed our years together. Results of the Senior poll showed a degree of humor and a shade of opposition, although most of us de- cided on these members of the elitef, Ruth Garrison was sitting pretty on the ballots as the best speaker Umu- sically-mindecl Richard Rastetter was given the title of our most outstanding musician. . .Virginia Fathauer rates as one of the modest seniors in our midst. , .Walter Prange is most bril- liant in his subjects.. Don Reichert takes home the honors of most hand- some boy. . while the pretty locks of Grace Nelson give her distinction among the girls .Kenny Miller ad- iudged another modest senior . .Mar- jorie Scheumann is most generous to her friends, 'tis said Reginald Gerig is another master musician , Best per- sonality is the blessing bestowed on Jerry Zehr ,Betty Muntzinger, a part of the two seniors voted our most bashful girls Donald Sparkman is best-dressed boy and also a perfect gentlemann Helen Kelsey gets sec- ond best in drag with the teachers . John Bex, then, is acknowledged first in drag . . Bob Storm sits aloft with the class acknowledgment of boy doing most for the school .,Georgi- anna Jones is second in musicians, so there , ,Vera Crise is cutest and possesses the prettiest teeth , Class prex Jim Dern was voted most likely to succeed, best boy athlete, and most popular senior. . ,Forrestine Valentine is our perfect laclyn. .prettiest hair among boys is possessed by Fred Eakin Rosemary Lehman is most studious . Harold Schmidt is best boy dancer Totem boss, Homer Miller, is most bashful-absolutely, . Elizabeth Simp- son, the other part of the bashful girl tie Helen Gray is best dancer among the girls. . ,and Leona Menze sums up with award of best girl ath- lete and the gal who has done the most for the school. i W 5, l 1 ti 1 THE TOTEM 1937 First Column RICHARD AKE Dick RiHe Intramural sports .

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Fifty-three students of the graduating class of 1937 were elected to the National Honor Society. There are many requirements necessary for this organization, and much routine has to be passed through successfully. The students must be in the upper third of the class before they are considered as probable members. A list of eligible students is sent to teachers who select as many students as they think qualify for the honor. Their choice is based upon scholarship, character, service, and leadership. The lists are then handed to the membership committee which considers the names and prepares them for the hnal decision. Miss Gertrude Oppelt, Miss Mabel Thorne, Mr. Herbert Voorhees, Mr. Earl Murch, and Mr. Herman Makey comprise the committee for the voting of stu- dents into the honor group. Mr. R. Nelson Snider and Miss Martha Pittenger aid in giving necessary information concerning the members selected, but they do not have a vote. Four of the members of the committee must vote for a student before he can be chosen. It was decided in 1936 that the membership of the faculty committee should rotate, one member dropping out each year and a new member replacing the member who is leaving. Miss Oppelt will be the first to drop out, and Miss Pauline Van Gorder will replace her. The university and college students, members of the National Honor So- ciety who have graduated, are usually asked to tag the members. Those students graduating at mid-term are elected into the society in De- cember. In May the rest of the members of the senior class are chosen. The reason for this division is so that the student graduating in June will have the same opportunity of making the society as those who graduate in the mid-term. The tagging usually continues throughout the appointed day. In the after- noon, an assembly is usually held to honor the new members. The assembly is started with a short talk by Mr. Herman Makey, who explains the eligibility of the students chosen. The members who were elected by the Na- tional Honor Society are then summoned to the gym floor and honored by the student body. The tagging of the members of National Honor Society from the student body of the class of 1937 occurred on December 23 and April 26.

The Fateful Quest was the appropriately chosen theme of the juniors' banquet held on Friday, Novem- ber 13, last. No superstition could daunt the active and joyous spirit of this active group of q'Sub-Seniorsf' Through the co-operative efforts of the class officers and faculty advisers and the diligent assistance of the class members, the banquet was a marked success. Faithfully and to the best of their ability serving the Class of 1938 are six representative Juniors. Johnny Hines, quarterback on the varsity football squad and captain of the basketball quintet, presided over the banquet and prom with great efficiency because of his former presidency in his Sophomore year. As vice- presiclent, Jim Phelps, varsity fullback, served as a worthy executive assistant. The secretarial part of the work was capably overseen by June Close. joan Bon- sib, George Castle, and Oscar Eggers made up the per- sonnel of the social council. The posts of faculty advisership were very expertly held by Miss Hazel Miller and Mr. Lloyd Whelan. These industrious juniors carried out the supersti- tious theme of their banquet to the most minute detail. Principal R. Nelson Snider and Dean Martha Pittenger guided their speeches along appropriate lines. An oc- casional play original with Betty Ciarton, Ruth Gerber, and john Thackery was staged under the direction of Dalton McAlister. Led by Elizabeth Ann Neff and accompanied by Dick Kowalski, the group indulged in community singing. Jacqueline Hench and Tom Sellers entertained with a tap dance and marionette play, respectively. The ever popular past and fu- ture were disclosed by Betty Garton and Oscar Eg- gers. Kathleen Wittmer concluded the affair with sev- eral piano selections. The other major event on the junior social calendar was equally as well planned and as successful as the banquet. This was the prom, of which The Corona- tionl' was the central theme. Effective and beautiful decorations created the atmosphere of regal fes- tivities. The festive occasion was chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. H. Hines, Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Phelps, Mr. and Mrs. V. R. Castle, Mr. and Mrs. Louis W. Bonsib, Mr. and Mrs. R. Nelson Snider, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Eggers, Dr. and Mrs. H. W.

His orchestra was selected for the affair by a committee comprised of June Close, chair- man, Marjorie Turner, Ann Vfinters, George Kempf, and George Castle. They also secured Marvel Max- well, a well-known Fort Wayne vocalist, as an ad- ded attraction. Jim Phelps and his committee, Bill Pape, Sam Betounes, Tom Briegel, Hollis Logue, Paul Goodwin, Natalie Brennan, and Mar- jorie Miller, arranged the publicity for the prom. Ticket sale under the direction of Dscar Eggers was carried on in the home rooms. The agents were Rodney Stair, Ellen Addington, Kathryn Cook, Elizabeth Ann Neff, Don Helin, Robert A. Lee, Dick Frazell, Ann Brothers, Bobbie Jones, George Castle, Ann Winter, Peggy Woodhull, Jim Phelps, and Dick Vogelsang. A very effective lighting scheme was designed and constructed by Roy Roadcap and Jewel Wil- son. In arranging for the check room, Royal Steiner, Tom Sellers, John Thackery, and Jim Hiatt provided a convenient place for the guests to place their wraps. In keeping with the theme, the committee for providing the favors presented the ladies with a perfume bottle, shaped like a large royal crown to the ceiling, gave a splendid win- dow effect. Purple cellophane cov- ered the railing. On this was pasted gold orbs, royal crowns, unicorns. and lions. The committee respons- ible for these decorations is as fol- lows: Ann Hull, Gwendolyn Ever- son, Margaret Ann Ruckel, Ina Claire Chappell. Lil- lian Gunzenhauser, Dorothy Richter. Helen Forker.

The prom and the banquet are by no means the only events in which the ever-advancing juniors par- ticipate. Their enterprises cover every field of activity in the school. Dancing, music, publications, athletics, public speaking and service work are the extent of their field. In every case they prove themselves nec- essary to the success and maintenance of the or- ganization. Fourteen juniors are willing to give several hours lx X mx ' x ,twig First Row: Peggy Procise.

Clarence Helmsing and Royal Steiner are two hard working boys who are often seen behind the desk in our bookhome. Betty Williaiiis, John Thack- ery, Doreen Russell, Helen Cox, Phyllis Culver, Betty Garton, Marjorie Crago, Leslie Johnson, LaVern Dee Keel, Robert E. Lee, Mae Persing, and Betty Pugh have worked long enough in the library to have a bronze pin. The only remuneration these persons re- ceive is their experience with books and excellent train- ing in library organization. Virginia Wallin's service work for her Alma Mater deserves personal mention. She is a very busy person but never too busy to help teachers. For three years she has stood by Miss Virginia Nlontgomery, super- visor of the study hall, and Mr. A. W. Heine, warden of the eighth periods. Besides these activities, Vir- ginia takes a prominent part in many organizations throughout the school. Besides the eighth periods, Mr. Heine has the fu- ture of the yell leaders under his direction. Three of the best yell leaders are Juniors. Paul McConnell and Dick Kowalski are shoveling the school spirit into the furnace of pep that puts the power behind the teams' locomotive. Dalton McA1isrer, in addition to being an very often presides as master of active yell leader, ceremonies of the school assemblies. Ample material for the senior play of 1938 can be found in the class of '38. As juniors, they were very active in dramatics and Student Players Club, the only coed organization combining the three high schools, North Side, South Side, and Central. Miss Margery Suter has varied and valuable material in the personnel of Nlar- tha Zelt, Marjorie Turner, -loan Bonsib, Beatrice Fudge, Billie Mauk, Dalton McAlister, Ann Winters, Betty Pugh, Nlartha Ann Bacon, Tom Sellers. Nlar- garet Ann Ruckel, Qscar Eggers. Betty Lee Wilson, Marjorie Nlit- ten, Elizabeth Ann Neff, Hollis Logue, Don Helin, and Howard Kutsch. In the realm of publications, Miss Rowena I-larvev is faced with geniuses of talented journalists. Nlanv have held major positions on the staff of The South Side Times. Major staff members are Beatrice Fudge. Robert Firestine, Oscar Eggers, Betty Pugh, Ruth Hen- line, Betty Lee Wilson, and Betty Garton. Dther fu- ture major position holders are Martha Zelt. Barbara Arney, Vivian Woods, Phyllis Culver. Elizabeth Ann Neff, Lillian Gunzenhauser, Dorothy Flfner. Helen Cox, Ina Claire Chappell, Leslie Johnson. Bettv Ann Davenport, and Marjorie Turner. From the junior journalists, Miss Harx'ex' selected Joan Bonsib for the editor of the 1938 Totem. Be- sides being active in publications, she is a member of Philo, Wranglers, Student Players Club. and Social Science. Don Helin was appointed business manager and Joan Piety and julia Crabill as co-circulation managers. Assisting Miss Gertrude Qppelt on the Tea Dance committee are Beatrice Fudge and Betty Garton. These girls help with the planning of themes, decorating ot the cafeteria, procuring of the orchestra. of Hoor shows, and publicity of the tea dances usually held monthly. In the floor show Jacqueline Heiicli and Virginia MacNamara very often appear. They are both talented and prominent in tap and acrobatic dancing. The girls often swing to the rhythm ot Kath- ryn Cook, who is an accomplished pianist. Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking is un- familiar to many juniors. Six of the most outstanding. as picked out by Nlrs. Dorothy Benner Rieke. are .loan -F ' iff 5 Q ii Q D A , ,, wg .. .fa f i - er. it Bonsib, Don Helm, Leslie Johnson, LaVerne Dee Keel, Allen Garrison, and Dalton McAlister. Joan Bonsib represented South Side over the radio on the subject of Better Films and was also a finalist of the State Discussion Contest. Active in Wranglers Club are Leslie Johnson, Sergeant-at-a1'1TlS, and Don Helm, participant in the club's declamation contest. LaVern Dee Keel placed in several W. C. T. U. con- tests throughout the city. Following in the footsteps of his illustrious sister, Allen Garrison among other things, addressed a lunch group of the Kiwanis Club during Humane Society Week. And finally, the boy who represented South Side in the State Dscussion contest, Dalton McAlister. He placed third in the State Discussion Contest and second in the Extemp- oraneous Speaking Contest. These ever enthusiastic juniors are active in body as well as mind. In the Girls Athletic Association, Betty Eisenacher and Eleanor Rarick are particularly out- standing. It is very probable that they will run very close next year in being high point girls. In addition to these two letter girls, there are four other junior letter girls, Anita AH:older, Margaret Beck, Mary El- len Blauvelt, and Mae Persing. The requirement for a letter is 1500 points. Girls who are eligible for let- ters in the near future and have been very faithful in practice and participation are Eldora Buesking, Betty Burhenn, Mattie Lou Coats, Martha Crum, Helen Forker, Betty Jane Griffith, Mary Beth LeFever, Wiladean Lorts, Catherine MacGinnittie, Helen Meese, Maxine Morrison, Irene Niemeyer, Barbara Raymond, Mabel Redding, Ruth Seifert, Ruth Steinbarger, Vera ,. - ,sw V 5,4 .H-fff .

Dick Frazell, Jim Roth, Leonard Koch, and Lawrence Selzer. The mainstays of the basketball team are within the bonds of the junior class. Carl Hall, sharpshooter, has had two years' experience on the varsity five. Cap- tain Johnny Hines, also two years' var- sity man, led the N. E. I. C. scorers this season. Har- old Kirzmiller, Jim Roth, Dick Frazell, and Don Beery are apt material for Coach Burl Friddle to set South Side up next year with an able net squad. Thus, a brief glimpse shows the busy hours of the sub-seniors. Maintaining high standards in leadership, scholarship, service, and character, these students are a likeable group, cheerful and friendly at all times.

Among the personnel of South Side's fine orchestra, we find Ruth Bade, Kathlyn Boerger, Bill Cargile, Mattie Lou Coats, Velma Connett, Paul Goodwin, Dorothy Hall, Charles Hauck, John Lyons, Goy Jones, George Strahlem, Robert Shimel. Many of these juniors belong to the band also. They appear faithfully at all games and assemblies to provide peppy music. The quality of their concerts depended upon music. Junior members of the band are Alison Arnold, Robert Branning, Paul Brown, Merrill Butler, William Cargile, Waldamar Fortriede, Robert I-lirschy, Audrey Jefferies, Goy Jones, Roy Pflueger, George Strahlem, Robert Shimel, and John Lyons.

Very likely their sig- nificant, salutary, sagacious, satisfying, salubrious, serving, sane, serene, sensible, savoir-faire, scholarly, and scrupulous characteristics have a great deal to do with their prominence in school today. Sophomore interest in both the classrooms and the extra-curricular activities is quite evident when one notices the large numbers of those who are outstand- ing in such fields.

On May 14, the Sophomore Salmagundi was given. Decorations in the cafeteria were red, green, and black pennants interspersed with all sorts of advertising samples from various companies, such as automobile, malted milk, tooth paste, cereal, and hand lotion manufacturers. In contrast to other Sophomore parties, the program of this one was held in the gymnasium. Here the guests were given large bunches of samples as favors, which were attractively wrapped in red, yellow, blue, green, and purple cellophane packages. K.. Naya ,lt ls ll l Toward the end of the party, the refreshment com- mittee served ice cream, cake, candy, and punch to the guests. Doris Schrom, chairman of this commit- tee, was assisted by Betty Neeb, Velda Oppenlander, Betty Showalter, Jeanette Warren, and Rosella Koehler. Frieda Schubert planned the decorations with the aid of Max Mitchell, Betty Daniels, Gwendolyn De Weese, Janice Dyer, Margery Price, Mary Lou Mof- fett, Doris Siebold, Lois Rea, Andrew Bremer, Joe Bex, and lVlaurine Seibert. In charge of the unusual program was Ray Speaker and his committee: Velma Connett, Doris Hayes, Jack Brazy, Margaret Null, Vivian Cassady, Marjorie Clapp, and Jack Bostick. Max Spencer arranged for the orchestra. Representatives from each Sophomore home room headed by Eugene Schmidt sold tickets for the affair: Fritz Lohman, Velma Connett, Frieda Schubert, Rich- ard Aronhalt, June Schilling, Virginia Menze, Lorain Tba, Jean Fortriede, Mary Ellen Lariinore, Ernest Bailey, Patricia Lyman, Virginia Shidler, Millicent Frank, Doris Williams, Maxine Greiner, Florence Oransky, Williain Peters, John Chidester, and Helen Banks. Assisting each of these committees were Miss Pauline Van Gorder and Mr. Earl E. Sterner, the class advisers. Chaperones for the party were Miss Martha Pit- tenger, Miss Pauline Van Gorder, Miss Dorothy Mag- ley, Mr. and Mrs. R. Nelson Snider, Mr. and Mrs. Earl E. Sterner, Mr. and lVlrs. Edward H. Schmidt, While their attention has turned to many other ac- tivities about South Side, it must not be forgotten that the Sophomore home rooms have helped and influ- enced the staunch loyalty this class holds for South Side High School. The students in Mr. Makeyls home room enthusi- astically entered upon a very interesting program. Clean-up Week and Be-Kind-to-Animals Week were not forgotten. Safety lessons were closely studied and followed diligently. Jean Fortriede, an active member of The Times, and Dorothea Gardner, outstanding member of the Inter-Club Congress for which she was in charge of the Courtesy Week program, were the most active students in the home room. Such organi- zations as Y. M. C. A., Travel Club, G. A. A., U. S. A.. and Rifle Club attracted the attention of the Sopho- mores in this room. Paul Gruss, who is especially in- terested in music, has become outstanding in this held. Virginia Menze is chairman of Mrs. Weltyls home ioom 34, and Arthur Miller is assistant chairman. Clean-up Week has also been observed by this home room. Two interesting talks on choice of vocations were given by some of the outstanding members of the class. Norma Martin gave a talk on library work and the possibilities it ogers to boys and girls choosing it as a career. Draftsmanship was the topic of Phillip McKay,s speech. A poem written by Edgar A. Guest was read to the pupils by Beverly Martin, and ques- tions from Scribners magazine were read by Robert Meyer. The class also presented a one-act play.

Plays and humorous skits have been presented before the home room. An interesting talk was given by Herb Glass, narrating the events at the recent Kentucky Derby which he had the opportunity to see. Room 174 also walked away with the honors during Clean- Up Wfeek when 259 coat hangers were brought for the Inter-Club Congress fund drive. The library home room, headed by Nliss Shoup. chose Kenneth Warren as president and Francis Van Buskirk as assistant. The delegated activities were faithfully carried out.

Live and learn is an old adage we all follow to a great extent. Experience is the best teacher as most of us are finding out. In our first year of living at South Side, we learn a great deal besides our scholastic sub- jects. The freshman group this year is by no means slow in learning the whys and whereforesn of our school life. They are off to a grand start, and, if they keep up their pep, they will wend their course well out in front. The annual Freshman-Sophomore Speech contest gave several freshmen opportunity to demonstrate their oratorical ability. June McAlister placed first, with Joyce McAlister taking second, Marilyn Halpern and James Murphy tied for third honors, while Jean Gumper placed fourth. In the finals, Irene Conley, Jane Bowen, and Richard Hebermehl placed. These people received Wranglers Honor Awards for excel- lence in speech. The class of 1940 goes in for sports in a big way too, for the Girls' Athletic Association and Boys' Intra- mural Athletic Association have attracted the attention of our sportsmen and girls. The girls have a wide va- riety of sports in G. A. A. from which to choose. Speedball and tennis are favorites in the fall, but vol- leyball, basketball, and tumbling reign as favorites during the winter season. But with the coming of spring, these are forsaken for baseball and track. The freshman girls who are making names for themselves in these activities are: Mildred Armstrong, Mary Armstrong, Dorothy Amstutz, Rena Bennett, Wana Bacon, Dorothy Barnes, Dorothy Beyrau, Bet- ty Boese, Jean Bremer, Avel Bridges, Jean Catlett, Donna Colicho, Evelyn Decker, Laura DeSelm, Ruth Doehla, Marjorie Elfner, Marian Feichter, Phyllis Fri- singer, Ruth Gebhart, Virginia Goeglein, Jewel Goette, Mary Grifhth, Marybelle Gumbert, Audrey Hall, Ruth Harlen, June Hayes, Betty Barlan, Dorothy Her- mann, Lois Jarvis, Betty Junghaus, Virginia Kuttler, Rebecca LeFevre, Juanita Likens, Delores Menefee, Peggy Millegan, Marjorie Morrison, Audrey Mutsch- elcner, Ruth McKay, June Neith, Pauline Nordyke, Marjory Niblish, Elsie Pederson, Hollis Richardson, Luana Rendchen, Marian Rarick, Agnes Ruch, Emily Seibt, Eileen Schelper, Lucielle Scheuman, Caroline Schueler, Dartha Steinbarger, Norma Sprunger, Dor- othy Spillner, Mildred Voight, Lily Schneider, Irma ' -7' -1 A :fig f A has i. af -.ni 1 Mb, w:.

The boys can not be pushed out of the limelight, for they are most enthusiastic about their Intramural activities under the capable leadership of Mr. Briner. The boys also have tennis, volleyball, and baseball in addition to the more strenuous sports, football, hand- ball, wrestling, and boxing. The boys of the 1940 class who participate in these sports are' Jack Glenn, Robert Hackinyer, Becker, Richard Gettys, Dick Craig, Warren Brown, Lloyd Miller, Beauford Carper, Rob- ert Simmon, George Schafer, Fred Pugh, Billy Mor- gan, Gerald Carr, Bill Davenport, Ralph Reese, Paul Madden, Lester Hafer, Paul Bowers, Wayne Brown, Bob Baals, E.

Each year this department loses some valuable musici- ans as graduation takes the Seniors away: but the con- solation in this is that. as the Seniors leave. new Fresh- men come in.

As we turn to clubs, we find there are a great many which boast of Freshman memberships. Miss Peck's Meterite Club for 9B, 9A, 10B girls who enjoy the study of literature always attracts the Frosh girls. Likewise, the Girl Reserve organization under Mrs. Welty's and Miss Kelley's supervision is well repre- sented by Freshman girls. The girls who are interested in homemaking always join Wo-Ho-Ma and work with Miss Mott in this organization. Mr. Sterner takes over the reins and guides the boys in Torch Club, while the Freshman sharpshooters dash down to Boys' Rifle Club to try their skill at hitting the bull's eyes. The girls also have a Rifle Club and quite often put the boys to shame with their shooting ability. Travel Club always has new members from the Freshman class to journey with on its trips. Then there are some Frosh who just have to let off steam. They join the speech contests and are prospective members to Wran- glers Club. The up-and-coming mathematicians always join Junior Math and those who seek real beauty in every day life enter the Art Club to be assured of a splendid and profitable good time. The Freshman activities do not begin with their extra-curricular and class room work, they start each day off right in their home rooms. These rooms, like all others, are run by schedules. Attendance is taken, the bulletin is read, then the chairman usually takes charge to conduct the programs or special lessons of Row One: Martha Sowers, Robert Secrist, George Schafer, Mary Emily Seibt, Lily Schneiders, Jean Simmers.

Nearly every home room has a safety lesson once a week, and some rooms have other activities. Miss Mary Crowe's home room has been studying parliamentary proce- dure, while others have taken up courtesy and etiquette problems. For Clean-Up Week, the Frosh stirred them- selves out of doors to dig weeds and plant flowers, inside, they cleaned up the halls and .inclines and locker rooms. Room 8 has two programs a week provided by a committee of three members. This com- mittee is newly appointed each week. Mr. Gould's home room has had some very unusual programs. Some interesting talks have been given on occupations, and recently this room had an amateur hour. Bruce Bradbury wrote the script. Those having parts were Bill Blass as the Major, Jane Weir as an accordianist, Russel Crumrine, another amateur, Bruce Bradbury, a fowl imitator, and Mr. Gould, who gave a demon- stration of Pillsbury's Pickles. This room also planted the flower beds around the conservatory. Some rooms are organized with chairmen and sec- retaries who take charge of the activities. These rooms have the following ofhcers: Room 14, Patty Ann Lambrakas is chairman and Jack Lindsey, secretary, Room 8, James Hume, chairman, Joan Korte, secre- tary, Room 92, Kathleen Striker, chairman, Martha Sowers, secretary, Room 76, Maurice Archbold, chair- man, Carrol Barker, secretary, Room 58, Dudley Sny- der, chairman, Agnes Sieler, secretary, Eleanor Schel- per, program chairman, Room 98, Shirley White, chairman, Wendell Sutter, secretary, Room 60, Juan Rodriquez, chairman, Ruth Mary Reedy, secretary, Room 90, Tom Thiele, chairman, Donald Wolford, secretary, Room 142, Doris Dickmeyer, chairman, Dick Craig, secretary, Room 176, Anna Anderson, chairman, Paul Bowers, secretary. Since the class of 1940 shows such marked interest in South Side and its activities, we can safely say that they are off to a grand start with full speed ahead and are sure to have many interesting, pleasant, and gay times together while they are living and learning in South Side. Having only two short years here left, they can go ahead full steam during their Junior and Senior years. what Jim .Stews mn Standing in the main entrance of South Side is a case crammed full with medals and trophy cups-spoils of the years gone by.

PHILOS -'- HDISCOVERERS OF LITERATURE By MARJORIE SCHEUMANN We are nearing the end of a Philo year, which will long remain in our thoughtsf, Thus begins Philo's parting song, as Philalethians near the close of this eventful year. Under the capable guidance of Miss Elizabeth De- maree, the club's adviser since the organization,s founding in 1922, the members of the Philalethian Literary Society invaded adventure with their flying colors of gold and white in Discovering Literaturef' the club's theme for the past year. Throughout the discoveries, Philalethians held high their society's purpose, namely, to stimulate in high school girls an interest in higher literature and to promote friend- ship and high ideals. The leaders for Philois discoveries in literature for the fall semester were the following girls: Virginia Fathauer, president, Louise Gerding, vice-president, Ruth I-Ienline, secretary, Betty Pugh, treasurer, joan Bonsib, program chairman, Betty Ann Davenport, sergeant-at-arms, Helen Cox and Betty Lee Wilson, publicity co-chairmen, Margaret Ann Ruckel, Inter- Club Congress representative, and Kathleen Witmer, pianist. During the spring semester, the following girls served as officers: Virginia Fathauer, president, Betty Pugh, vice-president, Constance Haag, secre- tary, Louise Gerding and Margaret Ann Ruckel, treas- urers, Marjorie Scheumann, sergeant-at-arms, Eliza- beth Ann Neff, program chairman, Phyllis Culver and Ruth Henline, publicity co-chairmen, Betty Ann Dav- enport, Inter-Club Congress representative, Kathleen Witmer, pianist, and Ann Hull, chairman of deco- rations. In Philalethian tradition, the following awards were made on Recognition Day: A placque to the Senior, this year, Ruth Fowler, who made the highest grade in English during the four years, and two loving cups 70 for creative writing, the one being for poetry won by John Jackson, and the other for an original essay, won this year by Marjorie Scheumann. Discoveries made in literature during this year were the literature of gossip, the essay, lyric poetry, drama, the novel, and biography. The drama section organ- ized itself into an actors' group called Philo Thes- pians. At the head of this group were Peggy Kil- patrick and Martha Zelt, for the first and second semesters, respectively. Several playlets for the en- tertainment of the club were presented, including Ask Nancy and An Uninvited Guest. Actors in the first playlet, Ask Nancyf' presented on November 31, were the following girls: Joan Bonsib, Martha Zeit, Martha Ann Bacon, Lillian Gunzenhauser, Joan Piety, and Betty Pugh. In The Uninvited Guest, given January 11, parts were taken by Betty Lee Wil- son, Phyllis Culver, Ina Clair Chapell, Margaret Ann Ruckel, Elizabeth Ann Neff, Betty Ann Davenport, Lillian Gunzenhauser, Marjorie Turner, Martha Ann Bacon, Peggy Kilpatrick, and Betty Pugh. Property aids were Natalie Brennan, Martha Zelt, Joan Bonsib, and Martha Crum. Another special group formed was the Philo Sextet under the direction of Elinor White, choral director. The following girls composed this musical section: Natalie Brennan and Gwendolyn Everson, first so- pranos, Martha Zelt and Peggy Woodhull, second sopranos, Betty Lickert and Peggy Kilpatrick, altos. Kathleen Witmer served as accompanist. While discovering literature, the Philalethian girls enjoyed many special adventures, the first of which was Philo,s Touchdown Promi' on November 6. For this annual dance, attended by approximately one hundred fifty couples, the Greeley Room was cleverly transformed into a miniature 'football field. The gen- THE TOTEM 1937 eral chairmen of the affair, Virginia Fathauer and joan Bonsib, were capably assisted by the following committee heads and their committees: Peggy Kil- patrick, clecorationsg Betty Lee Wilson and Helen Cox, publicity, Ruth I-lenline, tickets, Louise Closs, pro- and Marie Mitchell, orchestra. gram, On December 14, Philo held its annual Christmas party, at which 10B Meterites, the younger sisters of Philo, were the honored guests. Mrs. R. L. Feagles, local reader and dramatist and Philo's Christmas guest for the past three years, entertained Philale- thians with the interesting Christmas story, The Candle in the Forestf, The Philo Sextet sang a spe- cial arrangement of the lovely Christmas ballad, Can- tique de Noelf, Setting a precedent for this society, Philo girls spon- sored a skating party on January 16 at Bell's Rink. According to Philalethian tradition, a musicale was presented on January 17 by the members of Philo's music department. It was again held at the home of Betty Lickert where a fine organ is installed. As a special feature, Betty Lickert presented an organ solo. Kathleen Witiner, an accomplished musician, played the piano solo, Rondo Brilliantei' by Weber, after which selection Peggy Kilpatrick offered a violin solo. Betty Lickert entertained the guests with a cello solo. Selections offered by the Philo Sextet included Glow Worm, l'Selections from Fostiquaf' and Syn- copated Lullabyf' The entire club joined in singing Philo's parting song. Ar the meeting of February 8, the officers of Philo for the spring semester were installed, and forty-five new girls were received into the Philalethian Literary Society. Both formal and informal initiations of these new members were in charge of Betty Pugh, vice-president, and Marjorie Scheumann, sergeant-at- arms. As a token of her reception into Philo, each initiate was presented a gold and white bow. Clever impromptu playlets were featured in the formal initia- tion. At the close of the meeting, a potluck was en- joyed by all the members. Dedicated to the life of George Washington, a colo- nial tea was held by Philo on February 22. The pro- gram, carrying out the patriotic theme, included a short speech on the activities of our first president by Elizabeth Neff and a clever skit, showing the life of Washington as modern drama would present it. Girls in colonial costumes danced the minuet. All the officers of the club wore clothes depicting the colonial period. Ar the meeting of March 8, Nlrs. Page Yarnelle offered an interesting book review. Sing a Song of Pat was the theme of the fifteenth annual St. Patrickis banquet held at the Fort Wayne Woman's Club, March 17. Mr. Merle Abbett, Mr. R. Nelson Snider, and Mr. Benjamin Null gave im- promptu talks befitting the Irish occasion. Both being alumni of Philo, Roberta Garton, former poet laureate, read an original poem, and Helen l lilgeman offered several vocal solos. In comparing Philo to a harp, the following girls gave talks: strings, Marjorie Scheu- manng soundboard, Joan Bonsibg neck and wristbands, Margaret Null, pedals, Phyllis Geller, and pillars, Betty Daniels. After Irish dancing was demonstrated by Peggy Kilpatrick and Marjorie Clapp, special music was furnished by a Philo quartette, consisting of Elinor White, Betty Lickert, Ruth Fritz, and Grace Nelson. Throughout the dinner, the whole group sang Philo songs and gave yells led by Marjorie Turner, Peggy Bacon, Janet Hartman, and Martha Zelt. Closely following this social event was IOA Day. at which time the new IOA members took charge of a Philo meeting. The month of April also claimed the joint Philo-Meterite meeting, an established Philale- thian custom. On May 3, one of the major highlights of this Philo year took place, namely, the annual Mother- Daughter tea. Senior Day, held at the home of Joan Bonsib and Philo's annual picnic wound up the mer- ry month of May as well as an outstanding Philo year. So we grasp, at the end of a Philo year, the hands of the friends welve made. First Row: B. Davenport, B. Pugh, R. Henline, Miss Demaree, V. Fathauer, L. Gerber, M. Ruckel. Second Row: A. Hull, P.

Not the Library staff, because each member has all the quali- ties needed to deal with the most demanding book- worm South Side has to offer. This staff, composed of twenty-four of our own juniors and seniors, in good standing, does its best to help those students needing assistance with reference work. To become a member, one must be at least a junior and must pledge to remain a member for at least one semester. Following a semesteris service, a bronze letter L is given. At the ' ' ed. They were Evelyn Kruse, president, John Thack- ry, vice-president, Betty Garton, secretary, James Gei- ger, sergeant-at-armsg Helen Cox, point recorder, and Betty Pugh, Inter-Club Congress Representative. At one of the meetings, a treasure hunt was carried off with great success. Also included in the program of the day, was a shelving contest.

Those initiated were: Robert Lee, John Thackery, Mae Persing, Leslie Johnson, Betty Williams, Betty Garton, Helen Cox, Doreen Russell, Marjorie Gould, Dorothy DeHaven, LaVerne DeKeel, Betty Pugh, Phyllis Cul- ver, and Marjorie Crago. Other interesting meetings included a Thanksgiving program, a review by Don Sinish of Gone With the Wind,,, and participation in the Service Club potluck.

As one of the projects for the year, the club pur- chased two new books for use in the library. This year Seven League Bootsn by Richard Haliburton, and Undying Monsterv by D. Kerruish were chosen. These add to our already well-stocked library. Each year as the school increases in size, the number of vol- umes in the library increases also. When the library was founded in 1921, it possessed only 1,104 books and 1,021 pamphlets. It now has 6,247 books and 1,880 pamphlets with a total yearly circulation of 31,715. In order to keep a record of the progress made each year, a scrapbook committee is appointed to maintain a scrapbook containing all clippings and pictures con- cerning the activities of the club. The members of this committee for the spring semester were Mae Persing, chairman, LaVon Cook, Marjorie Crago, Dorothy De- Haven, Ruth Fritz, Marjorie Gould, Doreen Russell, Don Sinish, Betty Williams, Clarence Hilsing, and Royal Steiner. THE TOTEM 1937 THE ARMADA SHIPS IN SUNSHINE By MARJORIE GOULD Have you ever wondered about the source of the sunshine that casts its radiance within the portals of our Alma Mater? Some of this sunshine is made, with- out a doubt, by the members of the Sunshine Club. This club was organized in South Side in 1932 by the Misses Beulah Rinehart and Pearl Rehorst. The name was changed in 1934 to the Sunshine Club. Its purpose is best stated in their Sunshine Creed, 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 009 S Ii I IE 'Q First Row: P. Zaegel, A. Springer, E. Thackary, E. Knock, D. Dennis, V. lVlartin, F.

Thus will my own life become rich and complete. Since that first small society was organized, the membership has grown until now, under the able spon- sorship of the Misses Mary and Edith Crowe, it now has a membership of sixty girls. Our chapter of the Sunshine Club is one of many chapters scattered over this country. Dnce a year, girls from all over the state gather together and discuss the projects of each club. This year the annual convention of Sunshine District Number Two was held at Huntington, Indiana, No- vember 7. The girls, representatives of fifteen towns. were greeted by the principal of the Huntington High School in his opening address. The principal speaker of the convention was Grace Sloane Overton, who gave the Sunshine girls a talk on poise , The girls who attended the convention brought back new ideas and projects for our club to use in helping the com- munity. The Sunshine Club girls give their services every year to the Anti-Tuberculosis League by folding Christmas Seals for distribution throughout the city. Another service which each girl renders is giving five cents to a state fund which in turn gives this money to the Riley Hospital for the purchase of special equip- o tries to support any project spon- sored by the -Club Congress. ment.

The Sunshine Club also had many other activities. some of which were a potluck supper before the initia- tion of new members. a skating parts' at Bells Rink on February 12, and a lVlother-Daughter Tea partv which was held in the spring to honor the mothers of the members. - 1 1 TI-IE TCTEM 1937 FUTURE EINSTEINS NO DCUBT By RUTH PHIPPS The Math-Science Club is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, club in South Side High. Ir was organized in the fall of 1922, the same year that our high school came into existence. The pur- pose of Math-Science is to promote an apprecia- tion of both mathematics and science and also to develop a greater interest in them by presenting a broader understanding of these subjects than can be secured in the daily classroom work. The in- terest taken by the members in these subjects further result: in becoming acquainted with the scholarly work done by the men in the development of these subjects, in creating an interest in their practical application, and in a worthy use of leisure time. During the first semester, the Math-Science Club had as its very capable president, Richard Bridges. His other assistants Were: vice-president and chairman of the program committee, Ruth Berningg secretary, Rosemary Lehman, and treasurer, Donald Sinishg pub- licity chairman for the year, Herman Rutkowski, re- freshment committee, Bill Kruse, Mildred Hoff, and Ruth Berning. Miss Hodgson and Mr. Gould served as the advisers of the club. Ar the initial meeting in September an outside speaker, Dr. D. L. Rossiter, was the guest speaker. The subject of his talk was l'Correlation of High School Preparation with Courses in Medicine and Nursing. The meeting concluded with an hour of games and refreshments in charge of Bill Kruse. In October the annual Halloween Party, which proved to be a very spooky one, was held. M. Owens. A very interesting talk was enjoyed at the Novem- ber meeting on The Weather Bureau and Its Work of Weather Forecastingf' It was presented to the club in a most interesting manner by Mr. B. B. Whit- tier, Fort Wayne's meteorologist. The outstanding event of the December meeting was the potluck, which proved to be a very excellent one.

Those who were elected to assist him were: vice-president and chairman of the program committee, Lorene Shannen, secretary, Mary Louise Lankenaug and treasurer, james Derng com- mitteeman for refreshments, Louise Clossg committee- man for entertainment, Helen Kelsey, and arrange- ments, Miles Frisinger. Miss Fiedler and Mr. Whelan were the clubis advisers for the second semester. Installation of new officers was held at the first meeting in February. In addition to the service of in- stalling oflicers, the club had two of the members talk. Helen Cox talked on science, the Latern and Carniv- erisous version. Donald Sinish also gave a very in- teresting talk on the origin and development of the number system. Ar the March meeting the XYZ Club held a joint meeting with Math-Science. The XYZ Club gave a demonstration of their weekly work and Math-Science presented a mathematical play. This was followed by a social hour with Helen Kelsey in charge. Mr. William Willer was the outside speaker for the April meeting. He gave an illustrated talk on birds. In addition to Mr. Willeris talk, the annual recogni- tion service was held. To bring their meetings to a close, the members of Math-Science held a picnic at Foster Park. THE TOTEM 1937 SOCIAL SCIENCE SCORES A special issue of The Times, a magazine campaign, and organization of a Guide Service were the big achievements of Social Science Club this year. The students whose attentions are attracted to topics of civic interest are the members of this popular or- ganization. The club is composed of fifty juniors and Seniors. The club assisted in publication of an instructive ten- page Good Government Issue of The Times on Oc- tober 29. Success smiled on the magazine subscription cam- paign sponsored by the club in December, to finish paying for the talking-picture machine for the school, half-paid for previously by a similar campaign. The drive was directed by Helen Kelsey, jim Dern, and Bob Storm. A crew to operate the machine was or- ganized and directed by Mr. Wilburn Wilson, sponsor of the club. There were many interesting meetings held during the year. Une of the most interesting was a debate led by two outstanding members of the two major op- posing political parties. The men who directed this controversy were Mr. Roy Welty and Mr. Frank Cor- bett. Armament,' was the subject for discussion at another meeting. The leaders in this debate were Vernon Miller and john Bex. .... O 0 as rm First Row: Miss Smeltzly, F. Valentine, Dern, John Bex, O. Eggers, B. Storm, R. Garrison, L. Wyneken, M. Mitchell, H.

At Christmas time a potluck was enjoyed by the club, to celebrate the success of the magazine cam- paign. The field trips for the year included inspections of the City jail, the Court House, and the County build- ings. The field trip committee was Bob Storm, Lois Wyneken, Alice Karn, Howard Kutsch. Maria Haven. and Betty Garton. The outstanding program for the second semester was the March meeting, which was in the form of a trial. The plaintiff, Rosemary Lehman, and attorneys, Vernon Miller and Leslie Johnson, lost a 520,000 suit against Oscar Eggers for allegedly pushing her down the gymnasium stairs. Bud Theye was judge, and Bob Storm and Evelyn Kruse defense attorneys. In order that strangers in Fort Wfayne could be taken to the most interesting spots, the Historical Guide Committee chose members of Social Science to act as guides for such people. The chairman for this committee was Evelyn Kruse. Assisting her were Beatrice Fudge, joan Bonsib, and Constance Haag. Social Science sponsored the Washington birthday memorial assembly. The principal speaker was Harry Hogan, speaking on America of Today. At another meeting john Hofliinan, prominent Fort Wayne at- torney, gave a talk on Germany of Today. A large banquet was Q given in honor of those members who had done outstanding work. The Rev. S. F. Berry. Miss Pittenger. and Mr. Sni- der were the speakers.

N TI-IE TOTEM 1937 SPASMODIC ERUPTIONS CF THE LARYNX Persons having the gift of a Hexible tongue and a yearning for the age-old art of forensics might well look into the wealth of opportunities ogered by the Wranglers Club, one of the most outstanding assets the school can claim. Since the theme of the year was to be the relation- ship between public speaking and the various occupa- tions and professions, the principal speaker for the first meeting in October was David Heaton, a lawyer of this city. Mr. Heaton emphasized the importance of public speaking in law. Reginald Gerig, an out- standing pianist of South Side, rendered a brief musi- cal interlude. The meeting was concluded with the presentation of a humorous mock trial, much to the delight of the club. Ac about this time each fall, the public speaking group usually holds its potluck and initiation. The meeting this year was held in the cafeteria. Ar six o'clock, the members assembled for the potluck. This over, the process of initiating the pledges into the cov- eted circle of Wranglers was duly begun. We shan't divulge the proceedings of the initiation, for they are a deep and profound secret! Evelyn' Kruse won first place in the extemporaneous contest held by Wranglers in their meeting of Novem- ber 9. Donald Sinish received second place, while Leslie Johnson and Dalton McAlister tied for third. The complete list of contestants is as follows: Robert Storm, Evelyn Kruse, Leslie Johnson, Rodney Stair, Wade Theye, John Bex, Don Helm, Allen Garrison, Don Sinish, Norman Budde, Dalton McAlister, Thelma Ervin, and Shiela Staley. Mr. Samuel Edla- vitch, a graduate of Central High School and the University of Cincinnati, was the judge. The next meeting of the forensics group consisted of a special program prepared by the freshman mem- bers of the club. The general theme of the program was the spirit of Thanksgiving-and eating. In keep- ing with a Wrangler habit of using public speaking wherever possible, two members, Richard Dyke and Fritz Lohman, had a debate. Fritz took the affirma- tive side of the proposition, resolved: White turkey meat is better than dark. What do you think? The next unusually interesting meeting to be held by the Wranglers Club was that held on December 21. For the entertainment part of the program, a declama- tion contest was held. The winner of first place was John De Young. Dalton McAlister received second place, and Joan Bonsib and Vernon Miller tied for third. Other contestants were Don Sinish, Don Helm, and James Geiger. The judges for the contest were Miss Virginia Montgomery, Mr. Robert Berning, and Mr. Oliver Eggers. The declamations were limited to six minutes in length. After the contest, and while the club was waiting for the judges' decisions, Victor Nussbaum distributed gifts to all present. Those pres- ent were favored with several delightful selections on the accordian by Claude Bauserman. The meeting ended with the serving of refreshments. The annual mid-winter dance held after the North Side-South Side game on February 6 was quite charm- ing in its simple decorations. Upon entering the Greeley Room, one's nostrils were perked up by the enchanting odor of pine and fir. Snow Hakes sparkled brilliantly like diamonds in the crisp blue lights. The big, white snowman added authenticity to a truly pic- turesque winter scene. The chaperones included Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Rieke and Miss Martha Pittenger. First Row: P. Branning, I. C.

General plans for the dance were under the supervision of Jerry Zehr. Jerry was as- sisted by Pat Hoff, Evelyn Kruse, Wade Theye. Dave Steger, Leslie Johnson, and Don Helm. The assist- ing committee chairmen were Sally Rea, orchestra, Vernon Miller, prizes, Wade Theye, tickets, Bob Storm, publicity, and Victor Nussbaum, decorations. All committees were aided by the club adviser. The dance was one of the most successful, both from a financial and entertainment point of view, that the club has ever given. Dne of the unusual meetings of the year was on the occasion of the nomination of the officers for the spring term. In the public speaking field, there are many outlets for a good speaker. Dne of the oc- casions that demands a good speaker is that of stump speaking or a nominating speech. With this thought in mind, and with an eye toward practicability, the of- ficers of Wranglers decided to have an out-of-the-on dinary way of nominating their officers for the spring term. Officers for the fall term were Victor Nuss- baum, president, Pat Hoff, vice-president, Jean Creighton, secretary, David Steger, Inter-Club Con- gress representative, Dalton McAlister and Robert Storm, sergeants-at-arms. To go on with our story, these officers decided to make a real political meeting of the occasion. Frank Corbett, prominent Fort Wayne attorney, spoke on the use of public speaking in politics. Nominations were made previous to the meeting, and members of the club made special nominating and stump speeches for the various nominees. This innovation proved to be very entertaining as well as instructive. The oflicers selected for the new term were Jerry Zehr, president, Pat Hoff, vice-president, Evelyn Kruse, secretary, Wade Theye, treasurer, David Steger, Inter-Club Con- gress Representative, Leslie Johnson, and Donald Helin, sergeants-at-arms. The Freshman-Sophomore speech contest is held rather early in the year. Freshmen compete against each other and likewise do the Sophomores. The en- trants are coached by capable student speakers. The final standings for this year's Freshman-Sophomore speech contest were: Freshmen-June McAlister, Joyce McAlister, Nlarilyn Helpern, and James Murphy for first, second and third place respectively. Honorable mention went to Irene Conley, Ruth Bowen, Richard Heberiiiehl. and Jean Gumpper. Sophomores-Joe Bex, Janice Cross, and Luella Liff for the first three places. re- spectively. Honorable mention went to Carl Goebel and Allison Arnold. The winners names will be placed upon the Psi Iota Xi plaque. Huinane Society Week from April ll to 17 kept the public speakers busy. John DeYoung gave a speech via the radio, Cy Velkoff spoke at the Rotary Club: and Allen Garrison instructed the Exchange Club on why and how to be kind to animals.

THE SCHOOL FINDS 'EM U S A-BLE By DOROTHY GOLDEN Ready, Willing, and Able to Serve is the main theme for the girls of the U. S. A. Club. This club was founded on the idea of promoting the good fellowship and loyalty among girls. The U.S.A. Club has been quite outstanding this year and has had some very interesting meetings. One of their outstanding meetings was a Christmas party. They held it after dinner in the Voorhees Room. A Christmas play was given by a number of girls in the club. They sang Christmas songs and played games. Their initiation service proved to be their most im- pressive meeting of the year. Another of their other interesting meetings was their membership party, in which they had a drive to secure new girls for their club. They also had a Halloween party which proved to be very entertaining. Their Easter party, potluck, and Mother-and-Daughter Tea were also outstanding events of this year. A great amount of charity work is accomplished each year in the U.S.A. Club. The girls do three dif- ferent kinds of service work, namely, for their club, school, and community. This year they hemmed towels for the Needle Work Guild. They filled baskets at Thanksgiving for some of our less fortunate people of the school. Ac Christmas time they collected paper dolls for the children of the Day Nursery. Because the U.S.A. girls are a Girl Reserve club and expect to be So-Si-Y girls in the future, they work on a degree system. There are three degrees for which they may work. The single triangle degree is awarded to the deserving members during the first semestar. The double triangle degree is given during the sc-cond semester, and, then, during the third semester, to the girls who have worked extra hard, goes the highest award any girl can obtain, the triple triangle degree. Those girls receiving their first degree this year were Pauline Bracht, Vivian Bushroe, Phyllis Branning, Mary Jane Christie, Phyllis Fackler, Joan Gunter. Dixie Lee Hanna, Betty Harlan, Eleanor Hartly, Ruth Heeb, Erma Janet Hickler, Annabelle Heckler, Mary Ellen Heddon, Ruth Hoover, Betty Junghans, Helen Karnap, Evelyn Keefer, Sophia Kerlack, Patty Lam- brakis, Lillian Meeker, Betty Menneker, Jeanne O,Brien, Marian Owens, Marcile Passe.

T9 THE TOTEM 1937 PRACTICAL IDEALISTS -- SERVICEABLE SO-SI-Y By RUTH BERNING To strive to go adventuring along unknown paths, to seek to make real a dream, to find the meaning to that wondrously patterned thing called Life, these are desires which ever live in the heart of man. Ages ago great souls felt its urge and went forth on pilgrimages, each to the shrine of his ideal. And with this beauti- ful thought, So-Si-Y began its fall semester, using Pilgrimages as its theme. So-Si-Y, the Y. W. C. A. organization in South Side for junior and senior girls, has again tried to find and give the best. In its endeavor to do this, the girls sincerely try to fulfill the phrases of the Girl Reserve code, as follows: As a Girl Reserve I will try to be, First Row: Miss E. Smeltzley, E. Kruse, B.

Ar the second meeting of the year, a pep meeting was held, at which the members were urged to bring 80 their friends and acquaintances to the club. At the membership party, the members were divided into program groups, each group being responsible for one meeting. In this system every girl is able to plan or participate in a program, which is one of the require- ments for the second and third degrees. The program chairmen of the various groups included Grace Nel- son, Julia Crabill, Ruth Gerber, Ruth Goeglein, Dor- othy Richter, and Margaret Rehm. Service is one of the outstanding features in the activities of the Girl Reserves. Helping Cther Pil- grimsv was the program title for the meeting which committee. Squares were handed out to the girls for them to hem. So-Si- Y's total of squares was more than that of any other high school club. Ar Thanksgiving, baskets were filled and given to the needy. The Christ- mas service was of a na- ture different from any before. Large squares of red and green paper on which were printed a Christmas greeting and design were painted by the girls and then tacked on the door of every room in South Side. The purpose of this act was to promote the good will of the season throughout the school. Clever, bright-colored quilt blocks were made by the members and then sent to a woman in the South who supervised the group that made them into quilts and distributed them to the needy people. About two hundred fifty valen- tines were made and taken to the Allen County Or- phans' Home to aid these children in celebrating that holiday. The World Fellowship Project this year con- cerned the American Indians. The girls carried on a correspondence with girls on the Indian reservations. The advisers of the club include Miss Beulah Rine- hart, program adviser, Miss Eleanor Smeltzley, service adviser, Miss R. Hazel Miller, membership adviser, and Miss Alda Jane Woodward, social adviser.

The faculty tea, the most popular social function of the fall semester, was the scene of three different phases of life. The first of three bands of girls dis- cussed different political parties, during which words flew baclc and forth, each girl valiantly defending her candidate. The second band suggested means of living one's life to malce the most of it, and the third band, with Miss Pittenger as a guide, held a round- table discussion on the evaluation of Girl Reserves. The meeting with the Girl Reserves from Central High School was also a favorite among the members, and will be remembered for the discussion on What Constitutes a Good Time? led by Virginia Greiner. At this gathering, favors of peanuts, tied with blue, green, and white ribbons and enclosing a note of friendship, were given each girl present. The race problem also fur- nished excellent material for program purposes. The Rev. Charles M. Houser, who had just finished an interesting journey through t h e South, gave a short edu- cational tallc on the ne- groes. The Wheatley Center girls also sang several songs. Clever red Christmas trees served as favors for the Christmas meeting, which was ap- propriately entitled The Pilgrimage to the Man- ger. Carols were sung, and a round-table dis- cussion was held in which the Christmas customs of other countries were given. At the last meeting of the semester, the newly-elect- ed ofhcers were installed, and those girls who had qualified for degrees were recognized in a beautiful candle-light ceremony. The first degree can be ob- tained by qualifying as a Girl Reserve of good stand- ing for one term, a member of good standing is one who has paid her dues and attended at least five meet- ings. The second degree is awarded to those who have been members of good standing for two terms, and, in addition to this, have helped plan and execute a pro- Miss Woodward. M. Meyer, K. MacGinnitie. E.

The triple triangle degree qualifications are the same as the second degree. At the flnal meeting of the fall semester, the follow- ing girls were recognized for their second degree: Mary Louise Lanlcenau, Helen Eorlcer, Grace Nelson, Ruth Gerber, Ruth Goeglein, Katherine Simminger, Virginia Blass, Louise Gerding, Evelyn Lehman, Paula Gerding, and Marie Engle. Those recognized as triple triangle girls included Evelyn Kruse, Barbara Von- Gunten, Marjorie Scheumann, Edna Schneider, Lor- raine Quaclcenbush, Marjorie Meyer, Jane Worming- ton, and Ruth Berning. The new officers that were installed at this meeting included Helen Eorlcer, president, Marjorie Meyer, vice-president, Ruth Gerber, secretary, Kathryn Mac- Ginnittie, treasurer, Ellen Foelber, Inter-Club Con- gress representative, Helen Meese, membership chair- man, Ruth Goeglein, social chairman, Clarissa Coburn, publicity chairman, Ruth Berning, service chairman, Marjorie Scheumann, lceeper of the rec- ords, and Elizabeth Simpson, music chairman. 3 .L First Row: Miss H.

The members of the club were divided into four groups, Home Life and Character , ulxlusic and Dance , Legends and Religion , and uCrafts . Each of the advisers conducted a group, and each of the groups had two meetings for which to prepare. The Legends and Religion group presented a beautiful Easter ceremony. The social activity in the Spring corresponding with the faculty tea in the fall was the Nlother-Daughter tea. The Home Life and Character group honored the mothers of all the members of the club in a clever program. Three girls qualified for and received oihcial Girl Reserve rings. They are Barbara VonGunten, Eliza- beth Simpson, and Ruth Berning. 81 TI-IE TOTEM 1937 WE CARVED THE TCTEM By JOHN JACKSON All work and no play made The Totem a good book. Using this adage as the foundation for the yearbook, the staff was able to depict the trials and tribulations that occured during the four years of the past, when Seniors were Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen. When Homer Miller, editor of the 1937 Totem, aided by Miss Rowena Harvey, faculty adviser, select- ed The Glorious Processionn as the theme for the yearbook of the Senior Class of 1937, he must have been thinking of the procession of events that passed by the Seniors who spent four short years in South Side High School. Glorious because everyone of those events will never be forgotten by the graduating class of 1937 no matter how trivial they may have seemed to others. The first thing necessary in publishing a yearbook is a sufficient amount of subscriptions. Forrestine Val- entine and Lou Closs, co-circulation managers of The Totem, boosted the goal of eight hundred subscrip- tions over the top by more than fifty subscriptions. Next in order of events came the senior picture drive, which was handled by Homer Miller, and the business manager, John Jackson. Three hundred sixty pictures were taken by S. A. Beach, the photog- rapher of the Jefferson Studio. These were all com- pleted before November subscriptions. Starting with February 12, the date on which the first stories were due, the copy editors, who were Miles Porter, Bob Storm, Tom Makey, Marjorie Scheumann, Reginald Gerig, and Betty Muntzinger, became busy correcting and re-arranging the copy which was turned in. The stories were all assigned by Marie Mitchell, activities editor. Dn April 6, The Totem sponsored an assembly to help clubs procure their pages at a reduced cost. The program featured Miss Betty Robinson, The class editors for this issue of The Totem were: Senior editor, Leona Menzeg assistant Senior editors, Lois Wyneken and Peggy Kilpatrick, Junior editor, Helen Kelsey, Sophomore editor, Jessiellen Zollarsg and Freshman editor, Elinor White. The photographers for the 1937 Totem were Paul Reynolds, Carl Winans, Miles Frisinger, Don Helm, and Bob Firestine. Joan Bonsib, editor for the 1938 Totem, Don Helm, business manager for the 1938 Totem, and Bob Fire- stine assisted Homer Miller in planning picture lay- outs. Joan Piety and Julia Crabill, co-circulation man- agers for the 1938 Totem, helped Forrestine Valentine and Lou Closs, co-circulation managers of the 1937 Totem. 15. First Rovs: Zollars, P. Hoff, R. Garrison, Jackson, Miss R. Harvey, H. Miller, F. From January 1 to 31, John Jackson was busy arranging and scheduling club pictures which were taken in the study hall, Greeley Room, and the Voorhees Room. The - commercial photograph- er and the editor worked long hours on these pic- tures. Underclassmen w e r e shot for their Totem pictures February 3, 4, 5, and 9. They responded enthusiastically by sign- ing up for 500 pictures, a little more than last yearis number. For the benefit of the incoming freshmen, a second circulation drive was held. This ran dur- ing the week of February 8. This, too, netted a sub- stantial amount of new 82 Valentine, R. Storm, L. Menze. Second Row: P. Kilpatrick, D. Tobianski, E. White, M. Meyers, M. L.

Q23 L THE TOTEM 1937 BY THEIR NUMBERS THEY ARE KNOWN By RUTH GOEGLEIN 'Q-Iellol Jello! I don't care which of the six Flavors, just give me Jello. No, this isn't an advertisement for jack Benny, it is just what everyone repeatedly hears at the 1500 Club potlucks. Since its beginning, pot- lucks have been the outstanding feature of the 1500 Clubis program. The club was organized some years ago by Miss Rowena Harvey, faculty adviser of the publications, to bestow special honors upon those members of the staff that deserved it. An honor system was worked out, giving those accumulating 1,500 points a bronze pin and membership to the club. A person earning 3,000 points is given a silver pin, 5,000 points, a gold ping and 10,000 points, a gold-jeweled pin. The pins which are awarded resemble a linotype matrix crossed by a quill. Last fall, the club opened its activities with a picnic at Foster Park. After invading every corner of the park, the members indulged in a very rough game of football. This was followed by a treasure hunt. After searching for some time, John Bex discovered the treasure, a box of candy. The members then gathered in the pavillion for the picnic supper which consisted of sandwiches, baked beans, meat loaf, salad, olives, cake, potato chips, pie, cream puifs, and Coca-Cola.

After the bowls and plates had been cleared of their contents, group singing was led by John Bex. This was followed by a short talk by Miss Rowena Harvey in which she passed out many orchids to the members of the staff. The program was concluded with social dancing in the Times room. Tn September, the club chose its officers for the year. Ruth Garrison was elected to guide the club through its activities for the year, and Robert Storm was chosen to be her assistant. Leona 1Vlenze was chosen secretaryg and Lois Wyneken, treasurer. The club has grown quite steadily since its founding in 1925, now having nearly sixty members. Those who have at this time won the highest pos- sible award, that of the gold jeweled pin, are Robert Storm, Ruth Garrison, John Bex, Leona Menze, Regi- nald Gerig, Peggy Kilpatrick, and Dorothy Elfner.

From the room numbered 18 comes The South Side Times--a paper which is the connecting link for all activities of interest to our high school. It is this paper that is responsible for much hard work, which in turn, results in an enjoyable extra-curricular activity for the staff and high honors for the school. Pennies from Heavenn, in the form of a first honor medal awarded by the Delta Sigma Chi, national jour- nalistic society, at the Indiana State Fair, began to rain early in the 1936-37 school year. This was the tenth consecutive year that The Times received this honor. The urainya' season continued as an International Honor Rating was bestowed upon The Times by the Quill and Scroll, International Society for High School Journalists. Again leading in their division, The Times was given the Medalist award and A11-Columbian for head writing from the Columbia Scholastic Press Associa- tion while the society was holding its convention in New York City. Five delegates, Leona Menze, Ruth Garrison, Helen Kelsey, Lois Wyneken, and Bob Storm, accompanied by Miss Rowena Harvey, spent a week in New York to attend the convention. When they were not at the convention, the group explored the wonders of a big city. On December 13, 14, and 15 Ruth Garrison, Bob Storm, Mildred Hoff, Lou Closs, Reginald Gerig, Peg- gy Kilpatrick, Leona Menze, Forrestine Valentine, Beatrice Fudge, Dorothy Elfner, Homer Miller, John Jackson, and Miss Harvey attended the National Scholastic Press Association in Detroit. There they were in classes which discussed the modern phases of journalism. 84 GOCD TIMES THEIR AIM By LOIS WYNEKEN Other conventions to which The Times sent representatives included the Indiana High School P r e s s Convention a t Frank1in.Tna Claire Chappell and John Bex were the delegates. John presided over the conven- tion as president. Not only did the paper as a whole receive many prizes, but also individu- al staff members who were entered in the Quill and Scroll contests. Tn the spring contest Bob Storm was named one of the ten best sports writers in the United States and received a bronze medal for his out- standing work. Bruce Bradbury won first place in the East-Central States division of the feature story con- test, Reginald Gerig won honorable mention in this division for head writing. In the fall contest Ruth Gar- rison, Bob Storm, and Bruce Bradbury received honor- able mention in the contests for copy reading, current events, and editorial writing. Under the supervision of Bob Storm and Ruth Gar- rison as general managers, the fall semester staff dis- played excellent work. In addition to the regular week- Iy papers, which averaged six pages, a ten-page Good Government Issue and a sixteen-page Good Health Issue were published. The other major staff members for this semester were managing editor, Ruth Henlineg editor, Reginald Gerig, news editor, Lois Wynekeng copy editor, Pat Hoff, sports editor, Cscar Eggers, make-up editor, Bob Hughes, sports copy and make- up, Ruth Berning, business manager, Leona Menzeg advertising managers, Beatrice Fudge and Florence Oranskyg circulation manager, Helen Kelsey, star re- porter, Peggy Kilpatrick, and student adviser, John Bex. On October 3 the Tiny Times, a miniature edition of the regular school paper, but published especially for the parents, was edited by Eleanor Vesey on the occasion of the annual Back-To-School Night. The three general managers of the spring semester were John Bex, Leona Menze, and Lois Wyneken. They, too, directed the issuance of several special edi- tions which included the Z0-page Tournament News ZS Quill and Scroll and the April Fool Issue. The staff for this semester included managing editor, Betty Lee Wilson, editor, Reginald Gerigg news editor, Betty Garton, sports edi- tor, Bob Firestineg sports copy and make-up, Ozzie Eggers, malce-up editor, Bob Hughes, business mana- ger, Beatrice Fudge, advertising managers, Dorothy Elfner and Florence Oranslcyg circulation manager, Helen Kelsey and Betty Pugh, star reporters, Peggy Kilpatrick, Bruce Bradbury, and Ruth Goeglein, and student advisers, Bob Storm and Ruth Garrison. As a grand hnale of their worlc on the paper, the seniors published their Senior Issue. Miss Harvey chose Reginald Gerig to be the special general mana- ger for this publication. In the fall Miss Harvey named Mildred Hoff, Ruth Garrison, Louise Closs, Forrestine V a l e n t i ne, Helen Kelsey, John Bex, and Bob Storm to mem- bership in the Quill and Scroll. From the spring graduates Reginald Ge- rig, Ruth Goeglein, Jessi- ellen Zollars, Marjorie Meyer, Marjorie Scheu- man, Leona Menze, Ma- rie Mitchell, Earl Engle- brecht, Rosemary Leh- man, Bob Diclce, Peg Kil- patriclc, John Jaclcson, Emily Lepper, and Dor- thea Tobianslci were also .given this honor. To be given membership in this honorary journalistic so- ciety a senior must be in th e upper section of his class scholastically -and must have done out- standing worlc on the pa- per for one year. These members were given a gold pin and a year's sub- scription to the Quill and Scroll magazine. In May they were entertained with a banquet and an evening at the theatre. M. Jacobs, D.

Bob placed first in the East Central States division in the advertising writing, and Ruth received third place in the East Cen- tral states division in the news judgment contest. The award of All American-Superior was again given to the South Side Times in the rating contest of National Scholastic Press Association. Five awards are given by this society, the highest of which is the All American-Superior rating. All the issues from October 1 to January 15 were sent in to the association and were graded and criticized by a staff of men prominent and educated in the journalistic field. The Times has never received less than the All American rating. First Row: B. Arney, B. Davenport, M. Turner, L. Rea, Nl, Bacon, E. Addington, D. Gore, W. Carrier, H. Eaux, L. Fries, B. Showalter, D.

Following this, a wiener bake was held at Robinson Park. Having witnessed a slump in the assets, the treasurer received plans for a skating party whose success will be remembered by all of the three hun- dred, or so, attending. Ab Jenkins, the best race driver of the world and holder of most of the records of that thrilling sport, surprised the club at thenext meeting by consenting lO give them a talk about his career and advice on driving. At the following meet, John Edwards, our representative at the Berea, Kentucky, National Hi-Y Conference, told of his experiences there. The Hi-Y responded during the Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays by giving much toward the baskets which the school sent out. In response to the Red Cross call, the Hi-Y donated its whole treasury. lohn Staley and Bud Theye, representatives in the State Hi-Y Conference, enlightened the club with a description of their trip.

But on further examination you come to Room 50, and to your sur- prise, it is no radio: it is the band or orchestra prac- ticing. The chorus practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 12:25 and 1:15. The chorus is also under the direction of Jack Wainwright, who is the only faculty adviser of the music department. The other ofhcers of the music department are: Manager, Don Hickman: librarian, Dick Snook, student director, Dick Rastet- terg instrument caretaker, Glen Gregory. These four boys also see that the chairs and stands are set up in the gym for concerts and see that the music is passed out. The band is under the direction of Dick Rastetter, student director, at all basketball and football games. The band practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:25 to 12:20, and Monday nights from seven to nine o'clock. Practice is needed for two good reasons. The first is: Every boy or girl that plays an instrument and goes to college would like to play in the college band. Everybody does nct get in the band because only the good players are accepted. This is a good reason for practicing. The second is: once a month the South Side band gives a concert in the gym for the student body. Since the students would not like to hear the same pieces every concert the band has to practice to work up a new program for the concert every month. The orchestra practices on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 11:25 to 12:20. They also practice on Tuesday and Thursday from 12:25 to 1:15 with the chorus. The orchestra never puts on a concert by them- selves for the students. They sometimes play a few numbers at the band concerts, but most of the time the orchestra and chorus put on dances or stage shows of some kind together. Up in the Airn. This was the first show put on by the music department. The play took place in an air- ship which had a dance orchestra and all other facili- ties possible aboard. The airship cracked up on an is- land that was full of pirates. When the airship was fixed, the pirates got aboard also and rode back to civilization again. The lead was played by Don Spark- man, who gave a very fine performance. The band came in for a few more concerts after this show while the orchestra and chorus practiced on an opera, Martha',. This was a diH:1cult production and took a couple of months practice. The opera was ready to be produced on April 6. The principal characters were Norman Harrison, Doris Hayes, Elizabeth Lickert, and Don Sparkman. Doris Hayes played the part of Martha',. Martha's real name was Lady 1-larrietg but being tired of being high class she dressed like a peasant and was hired as a servant by Norman, who fell in love with her. She ran away and is later found by Norman and confessed her love for him as the curtain fell. The student body really thought it was all right because they gave the singers five curtain calls. This was the first opera put on in South Side and it was a great success. The band put on one more concert before the term closed. This was the best concert of the year. The Dverture of 1812 was played with great success. This is one of the hardest pieces ever written. This ended the musical entertainment of South Side for another year. The band, orchestra and chorus will be back again next year under the direction of Mr. Jack Wain- wright. The band played concerts at Defiance. Dhio. and LaGrange, Indiana, this year with great success. They were received with such enthusiasm by the citizens of Defiance and LaGrange that they were invited to re- turn to play a more extended program. ,Left to right: Ascene from the opera, Martha , Norman Harrison and Doris Hayes, who took the leading roles: a section of the band being led in practice by Mr. Jack Wainwright. 01-B. TI-'IE TOTEM 1937 IT'S THE BOHEMIAN IN US By RAYOLA MORTON Recognizing beauty in life as well as creating beauty is the Art Club's aim, and in our estimation it is one of the best aims that any club could have. Under the guardianship of a very active and prominent art in- structor, Miss Erma Dochterman, the club is outstand- ing in South Side High School. True to its name, the educational and social affairs are always lovely. The Art Club was organized the first year of South Side,s history. Since the very beginning, it has been a means of encouraging art appreciation throughout the school. Anyone who wishes to develop or enjoy the appreciation of beauty can become an eligible member whether the grades they make are high or low. This year there were about seventy-five mem- bers, both boys and girls, from all grades in our school. This year was one of the largest memberships the club has ever had, and it is also one of the largest clubs in South Side. During the year the club has held some very inter- esting meetings and has sponsored many worthwhile activities. One would expect the members to be orig- inal in their ideas and so they showed it by starting the Faculty Teas. The teas were given every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:15 to 4 o'clock in the Art De- partment. There were fifteen teas given altogether. The general chairmen for the teas were the Misses June Ruppert and Marie Mitchell. The members of the club also helped in making this activity a huge success. During previous years the Art Club has always given unusual dances with very lovely and artistic decorations. Those who have attended these dances in the past will admit that the dances given by the Art Club are some of the best dances ever given by any First Row: D. Dickmeyer, Gumpper, B. Redding, club at South Side. Due to the other activities of the school, the Art Club was unable this year to give its annual dance. Those who were responsible for the success of the club during the '36 semester were Marie Mitchell, president, Sue Wallace, vice-presidentg Ina Claire Chappell, secretary, and Richard Orr, treasurer. Those responsible for the '37 semester were Ina Claire Chap- pell, president, Eleanor Vesey, vice-presidentg Maxine Rippe, secretary, and Richard Orr, treasurer. As a feature of December the club devoted their time to making and selling Christmas paper. This was the eighth year for this event, and like all other sales, it was very successful. The paper was beauti- fully linoleum blocked and was designed by the art students. The second annual sale of little clay animals and birds proved very successful. These were also made by the art students. The club also made up baskets at Christmas and Thanksgiving time, which were distributed to poor fa- milies of Fort Wayne and were given to families and children at the Irene Byron. The thank-you letters that were received from the children were greatly appreciated. Meetings other than the regular business meetings were held in the form of entertainment. The enter- tainments are always unusual. The first meeting, which was held on September 30, was of an explana- tory nature. Ar this meeting, the aims and the pur- pose of the club were explained by the sponsor, Miss Dochterman. A former student of South Side con- tributed her time with a specialty dance for the club. Earl Englebrecht gave a very interesting chalk talk. Some of the other interesting programs given this V. Kuttler, D. Orr, S. Wallace, M. Mitchell, I. C. Chappell, J. Bonsib, Nliss E. Dochterman, D.

Worden. year were: Songs sung by the group, songs provided by Donald Sparkman and Billie Mae Maukg songs and dances given by Jackie Hench and a piano selection by Reginald Gerig, and music provided by Kathryn Cook. The club this year held a picnic at Foster Park, and sandwiches, potato chips, beans, jello, cake, and ice cream were greatly enjoyed. After the repast, the program chairman and her committee furnished the entertainment. This was greatly enjoyed by everyone. To prove the Art Club furnishes amusement for its members, these are some of the types of programs they have had: short skits, monologues. toe dances, solos, community songs, and pieces have been spoken on several different subjects by different students. One can never appreciate these lovely entertainments un- less he has gone to see them. The Art Club's creed is as follows: Harxnony is the law of life. We believe in looking for beauty every- where, for it may be found at any time in any place. We express this law of harmony, which is beauty, in proportion to its possession of our consciousness and our resoonse to it in our daily living. Art means serv- ice and better living. Art, to appear in the works of man or for him to appreciate its presence, must be there as a working element in both his conscious and unconscious life. We must make our creations good, honest, and true. Whatever is our walk in life, we shall labor lovingly and honestly toward the realiza- tion of an ideal. During the year the Art Club members enjoyed a lecture by Miss Mary Werten, noted artist, lecturer, and teacher, and the exhibition of Polish art work. Miss Werten remained at the Fort Wayne Art Museum and conducted free lectures and classes for teachers, clubs, and art students. Miss Werten's training has been very broad and in the largest of European art schools, besides the in- herited native peasant artistic ability. After the war, Miss Werten was made professor in a course for the construction of Christmas tree ornaments. ln this ca- pacity she originated new models and wrote a booklet for teachers about methods of working with school children in making ornaments. Miss Werten con- ducted a class in this subject while she was in Fort Wayne. Her work has also included designing of wooden dolls. Miss Werten has illustrated and written many ar- ticles and books about her work with children and teachers as well as developing a program of art edu- cation based on the right understanding of materials and tools. The Art Club members, many of whom are taking the course, have many opportunities to serve their school not only by furnishing the student body and faculty members with Christmas paper and unique little animals for gifts, but also by making signs and posters for various clubs about South Side. The C1.A.A. exhibition, Day In Manhattan , was aided through the initiative of art students. During the pro- gram when tourists were making a tour of Manhattan they came upon Greenwich Village where artists from the art department painted to the music and perform- ance of the ever popular Apache dance, On the Side- walks of New York. Decorations for the whole affair were made by the art department. Posters advertising the coming Fun Fest given bv the senior class were posted about the halls of South Side. They had a great part in the success of the affair. During Health Week of April 26 to 30 posters made by the art students were displayed in the halls. con- taining interesting as well as instructive information. The Inter-Club Congress in planning a Clean-Up Week from May 3 to May 7 depended upon the art students to make posters for the affair that would at- tract attention as well as give information about the events to be held during that week. Elinor Wihite. who headed the affair, was a very active member in Art Club. 91 THE TOTEM 1937 YOUR DINNER--HOME ON THE RANGE By CONSTANCE HAAG The Wo-Ho- Ma Club is a group of girls who are interest- ed in home eco- nomics and who are trying to help themselves an d others to live happier, mor e useful lives by increasing and ' using their know- ledge of h o m e m a k i n g . The name, Wo - Ho - Ma, is made up of the first two letters of each w o r d i n t h e ies, phrase, Xworthy Home Makers. It is the aim of this c l u b to train young women to be more active and more efficient leaders in the activities of the home, school, and com- munity, to afford to its members an opportunity for social activity, which is furnished by the programs and social events, and, far from least in importance, to pro- mote an interest in home economics. The club has had a very successful year under the capable leadership of its officers and advisers. In the first semester, the club was headed bv Audrey Jeffer- ies, president, Helen McCormick, vice-president, and Mary Jane Allerton, secretary-treasurer.'The officers for the spring semester were Joan Earl, president, Lois Keen, vice-president, and Helen Clark, secretary- treasurer. Helen Clark was also Inter-Club Congress representative during both semesters. The advisers for the club are the home economics teachers, Miss Mott and Miss Rehorst. Ar the initiation ceremony, thirty-five members pledged their loyalty to the club. The formal initiation ceremony has become a tradition with the club. The Spirit of Home Economics relates to the initiates the purposes and ideals of the club and what it means to be a member. The initiates pledged themselves to re- main faithful and loyal to the club and its high ideals and to serve the school, home, community, state, and nation. The topic which the club studied during the first semester was The Home Beautiful . This theme was carried out by several talks and demonstrations by club members, advisers, and outside speakers. 92 First Row: E. Stuart, Nl. Berry, L. Beneke, M. Siefel, M. Kern, L. Keen, H. Clark, A. Jeffer- H. McCormick, Earl Braun, I. Blombach, R. Hueber, R. Lauer, L. Kunberger, M. Snavely. Second Row: B. Wimmer, E. Brown, Hoover, P. Lyman, K. Boerger, W. Carrier, L. Mene- fee, D. Windhorst, E. Wittwer, Miss C. Mott, D. Lebrecht, L. Holtmeyer, H. Knoche, E. Sessions, W. Yost, M. LeFever, R. King, I. Blombach, D. Amstutz, D. Pritchard. In order to give the girls a better understanding of the problems arising in keeping up a home in coun- tries having fewer conveniences than We have in the United States, Miss Smeltzley, of the Social Science Department, gave a description of the native homes which she saw on a recent trip to Guatemala. Miss Mott, club adviser, discussed the hanging of pictures, arrangement of furniture, and the artistic arrangement of flowers. The club enjoyed a Christmas program, after which attractive refreshments were served in the furnished apartment in the home economics depart- ment. At this meeting, Miss Mott also told the story of the Other Wise Man, written by Henry VanDyke. The club has been using a very intricate point sys- tem. The secretary keeps a record of the points earned by the members doing service work either for the club or for the school. During the first semester Kathlyn Boerger won first place as a reward for her diligence in doing service work.. Second and third places were attained by the twins, Irene and Ilene Blombach. Points are awarded to members for service as a club officer, for attendance and puncutality at meetings, for paying dues promptly, for bringing guests, for partici- pating in club programs, securing new members, or doing any other activity which is a benefit to the club. Being a member of Wo-Ho-Ma is a great advantage to any South Side girl, for the members are not only taught to cook and sew and care for a family, but also are encouraged to take an active interest in their work and to find real enjoyment in it. THE TQTEM 1937 METERITE CR NOT AT ALL By MARY LOUISE HELMS English is an all-interesting study, and the members of Meterites find that they like to spend most of their spare time delving into old literature. To the younger girls, the study of literature is a pleasure, and that is why the Meterite Club is so popular. These young people use all types and phases of lit- erature as the themes for their meetings. This year the theme was Old English Literature and Shakespeare. Another successful year has passed, inspiring these literary-minded girls to larger and more difiicult tasks. Ever since this club was organized in 1925 by Miss Myra Esary, the club has grown more and more until it is almost the largest club in South Side. In 1929, Miss Susen Peck became adviser and has served very capably ever since. Lois Rea, president, Maurine Seibert, vice-president, Velda Oppenlander, secretary, Janice Dyer, treas- urer, Marjorie Rapp, program chairman, and Betty Daniels, social chairman, are the officers who success- fully led the Meterites through the first semester. Helen Faux was appointed on the program commit- tee with her helpers, Audrey I-1.311 and June Enoch. The club attended their annual theatre party and chose the movie, The Big Broadcast of 19375 All the members enjoyed a potluck under the chairman- ship of Betty Daniels. Others who assisted her were Nlargaret Null, Jeanette Warren, Carolyn Keel, Mar- gery Price, Betty Lou Geake, and Imogene Eagan.

An amusing skit was presented by Carolyn Keel, Betty Daniels, Anna Lou Kowalski, Gwendolyn Dexveese, and Mau- rine Seibert. There was also a successful skating party sponsored by the Meterites. A joint meeting of Meterites and Philo was held before the semester ended. This meeting was in the form of a circus with Elizabeth Ann Neff, an outstand- ing member of Philo, acting as ringmaster. True to the traditions of the circus, the affair was carried out with peanut vendors, fat ladies, tall ladies, bearded ladies, and tight rope walkers. The occasion was a novel cli- max to the very happy year of Meterites. The last meeting consisted of a farewell party for the 10B's who were going into Philo, the older literary group. At this time those 10B girls who had earned at least 210 points were given a gift and a diploma. Ar the conclusion of the meeting, Maurine Seibert was elected president, Ella Jo Reed, vice-president, Vir- ginia Kuttler, secretary, and Doris Williaiiis, treasurer: Phyllis Tyndall, social chairman, and Alice Pope, pro- gram chairman. The second semester theme was Modern Poets. Dur- ing this semester biographies of Carl Sandburg, Amy Lowell, and other poets were given. Interesting poems were read such as Caboose, Thoughts, Patterns. and other contemporary, poems. The annual joint meeting with the Philo girls was held. The mothers at- tended a delight- ful tea held in their honor, and the spring picnic was a huge suc- cess. Th e purpose of Nleterites is to instil in the hearts of the girls appreciation of good litera- ture.

However, backing the team is but one of their many activities. There are five separate divisions of the club, each division of which is under the guidance of a faculty adviser. Miss Rowena Harvey is treasurer and gen- eral chairman of the advisers. Other faculty members are Miss Gertrude Oppelt, Miss Mary Helen Ley, Miss Nelle Covalt, Miss Alice Patterson, Miss Mary Pocock, and Mr. Albert Heine. First Row: P. Kilpatrick, P. Hoff, Miss G.

As the name implies, Booster Club boosts all activi- ties concerning South Side. Last spring the club help- ed to pay for the portable stage which is used for pro- ductions put on in the gym. This year they purchased one hundred cloth bound song books which will be at the disposal of any clubs which may wish to use them. Providing original and colorful decorations for the games and major banquets has been the well fulfilled aim of the decoration committee. Ann Hull, Evelyn Kruse, Loraine Iba, Lois Rea, Margaret Monning, John Thackery, and Bob Lee made up this industrious group. This year the committee under the charge of Miss Gertrude Oppelt added to the previous popularity by 94 providing very attractive decorations for every tea dance. Dancers also received clever favors on special occasions. Christmas spirit was furthered at the Holly Hop by peppermint candy canes, while Washington was remembered with candy cherries wrapped in red cellophane. The committee for this year was com- prised of Ruth Garrison, Rosemary Lehman, Betty Garton, and Beatrice Fudge. Hostesses were a new feature of the tea dances this year. This committee was organized to help students become acquainted. Peggy Kilpatrick, Lois Wyneken, Louise Closs, Helen Kelsey, Joan Bon- sib, and Forrestine Val- entine made up this com- mittee. Concessions were an- other and equally profi- table source of income. Headed by Miss Nelle Covalt and Miss Mary Pocock, this committee was on hand at every game to tempt the fans with delicious taffy ap- ples, ice cream bars, hot dogs, coca cola, candy, gum, and sacks of butter popcorn. Ruth Garrison, Leona Menze, Frieda Schubert, Mildred Hoff, and Bob Storm sold candy, gum, and potato chips across the counter, Joe Bex, Evelyn Lehman, and John Bex sold ice cream, Helen Kelsey, Forrestine Valentine, and John Bex doled out pop- corn for a mere five cents, and Don Helm, Don Sinish, and Robert Martin jerked bottles. Ruth Kimmell, Wal- ter Staight, Ed Walker, Warren Wyneken, Karl Good- win, Delores Menefee, Mary Griffith, Marian Rarick, and Betty Griffith sold candy. Yell leaders, under the direction of Mr. Albert Heine and Miss Alice Patterson comprised the vocal branch of Booster Club. Dave Steger, Bud Mahurin, Paul McConnell, and Dalton McAlister, assisted by underclassmen yell leaders, succeeded in boosting school spirit with their energetic interpretation of the school yells. They also presented entertaining skits at the pep sessions. THE TOTEM 1937 THE BEST OF THEIR KIND By EVELYN KRUSE S-S-S-S Seeing double? No, those are lettergirls clashing to the monthly meeting of Lettergirls' Club. Not only do the girls dash to the club meetings, but they punctuate all of their ideas with dashes, thus making the club one of the outstanding clubs of South Side. Although there have been lettergirls for eleven years, they were not organized into a club until Jan- uary of 1936. The name of the club states the quali- fication for membership. The letters are obtained through participation in the activities of the Girls' Athletic Association, otherwise Lettergirls is an en- tirely independent or- ganization. The purpose of the club as stated in . the constitution is: This organization shall be to further an interest in the origin and development of athletics and the part women have played in it, also, it is to act as a booster club to the G. A. A. The officers of the fall semester were Ruth Goeglein, president, En- ita Snavely, vice-presi- dentg Evelyn Kruse, sec- retary, Ruth Berning, treasurer, Betty Eisen- acher, Sergeant-at-ar1l1S, and Ada Schuelke, Inter- Club Congress represen- tative. Under the direc- tion of these OHTICEYS and the supervision of two very competent faculty advisers, lVliss Patterson and Miss Smith, the fall term enjoyed a very active life. The theme for the entire semester was Sports in Different Countries. The skating and skiing in Norway and Sweden was the topic for the October meeting. In November reports were given on the sports of Hawaii. The sports of Japan, stressing the supremacy of her swimmers, and of China were discussed at the Decem- ber meetingg a comparison of the sports in England and America characterized the January meeting. The club had many activities outside of the regular meetings that show its civic interest. The Lettergirls' Club took care of the sale of the tickets and acted as ticket collectors for the G. A. A. and Music Depart- ment's production, Up in the Air. All the. world loves a lover states the old saying. Remembering this, the Lettergirls took the next step in working out rn stunt for their pep session. They performed a wedding in which Victory, the sweet young bride, was wedded to South Side after South Side had force- fully evicted Central from the picture. The next large undertaking was the Skating Party on December 18. Several lettergirls helped the photographer when the pictures for the school records were being taken. The last activity of the fall term was the sale of tickets for the Alumni Basketball game. The club membership was increased to twenty-nine in january when nine more girls received their let- ters. Famous Woinen in Sports was chosen as the theme for the spring term. The women who are out- standing in tennis and golf were talked on at the First Row: Miss G. Smith, XV. Locker, B. Eisenacher, E.

A main part of this meet- ing was a potluck supper. Basketball, volleyball and baseball and the women prominent in these sports was the subject for the April meeting. Tn lxlav. the last meeting of the year, women who have gained fame in swimming and track were discussed. The ofiicers directing the activities during the spring semester were Ada Schuelke. president: blar- jorie Meyer, vice-president: Betty Eisenacher. secre- taryg Anna Marie Baumgartner. treasurer. and Edna Disler. Inter-Club Congress representative. The outside activities of the spring term were va- ried. The club participated in the program for blealth Xveek. For the annual G. A. A. exhibition thev again served as ticket sellers and collectors. Tn blav .1 play day was held. All of the letter girls of North Side and Central were invited. A part of the program of the G. A. A. banquet was L1I1Clf3l' the direction of the Lettergirls as was the G. A. A. breakfast. 95 THE TOTEM 1937 STAMP! STAMP! STAMP! By DOROTHEA TOBTANSKI Although it is still young, the Philatelic Society has successfully stamped out another year with itself in the news. Each year this club has been arousing interest and gaining prestige. Membership in this society is open to any person interested in stamp or catchet col- lecting. The sole purpose of the club is to develop a better understanding of stamps, to acquaint onesself with the subject, and to cause a greater interest in them. The club was guided through the fall semester by the offi- cers, John Thackery, president, Alice Shiiilet, vice- president, Marian Bell, secretary, Dorothy Aldridge, treasurer, and Bruce Bradbury, sergeant-at-arms. The Philatelic Society was directed by Miss Pauline Van Gorder. The theme of the club's program was the study of United States Commemorative stamps from 1930 to 1936 inclusive. Playlets, contests, slides, and stamp exhibitions constituted the remainder of the club's program. The fall semester was made merry by the annual Philatelic Skating Party and Christmas Party. John Jackson was in general charge of the skating party with Dorothy Aldridge and Emily Lepper assisting. In charge of the Christmas party were Emily Lepper and William Cartwright. The main attraction of this Christmas party was the White Elephant Exchange. The spring semester was swung into action by the revising of the Philatelic constitution and point system. The spring semester's officers included Marian Bell, president, Emily Lepper, vice-president, Don Schafer, secretary, Fisher Rehrer, treasurer, and Edward Tur- ner, sergeant-at-arms. First Row: D.

THE SENATORS By moms BENNETT Five years ago was formed an organization which has been of great service to South Side. This or- ganization is known as the Inter-Club Congress. Its purpose is to promote co-operation between the clubs and to uphold and promote standards of good citizen- ship in and about the school. A much better sense of citizenship is developed among the students by this club. Each member is a representative from some other club. The number of members corresponds to the number of clubs in the school. Regular meetings are held on alternate Mondays. The club advisers consist of Miss Emma Kiefer, Mr. C. A. Bex, and Mr. A. Verne Flint. For the fall semester, Bill Kruse served as president, Vernon Miller as vice-president, and Dave Steger as secretary. For the spring semester, John Bex was elected president, Bill Kruse vice-president, and Nel- son Miller secretary. Many projects have been sponsored by the Inter- Club Congress during the past year. Among these were the distribution of baskets for the needy at Thanksgiving and Christmas. The decorating of the Greeley and Voorhees rooms for Christmas was taken care of by this club. With the aid of the Booster Club, the annual Q'Get-Acquainted Day is sponsored. Among the many duties of the Inter-Club Congress is the care of the school lawns in the spring and fall. The club is also responsible for many of the shrubs, trees, and flowers, which have been placed on the school lawn. Songbooks were also obtained by the Inter-Club Congress. The books are 'to be used by various organi- zations of the school at their banquets and meetings. THE TOTEM 1937 THE NOBLE ROMANS By ROSEMARY LEHMAN Adsum.,' So answer the members of the Societas Romana to the roll call. This organization, often called the Latin Club, meets once a month. The theme of the year has been the relation of Latin to other high school subjects, including French, English, geometry, history, and science. In connection with the program on English, a short play, The Magic Toga, was given. It was later repeated at a Parent-Teacher Association meeting. One of the high- lights of the year was a meeting with French Club which proved to be very interesting. Another recent undertaking of the organization was that of purchasing each year an additional plate for the Alpha Omicron Pi award, so that two students, A C3 .QC First Row: L. Reed, E. Hoffman, F.

Rifle Club was organized for boys in the fall of 1931. lr is now made up of two separate groups. One is composed entirely of girls under the direction of hliss Rosemary DeLancey, the other, of boys under the leadership of Mr. Harold Windmiller. The five best boys of the club form a team and participate in matches with other schools. The girls do not compete with other schools. Once each year. they are guests of Miss DeLancey at her apartment for a chili supper. Both clubs award letters in form of S with small rifles crossed on the letter. Letters are given to those who earn 180 points. The girl with the highest score at each meeting is awarded a small cross rifle pin. This may be kept till the next meeting.

THEY'RE ALWAYS ACTING UP By DON SPARKMAN Q'The good old S. P. C., so may it ever be , and so has it been for the past school year. The Student Players' Club of South Side High School has had one of its most successful years. At the first meeting in September, Don Sparkman, president, John Edwards, vice-president, Maxine Rippe, secretary-treasurer, and Vernon Miller, Inter-Club Congress representative, were elected to serve for the fall term. Under the efhcient leadership of these officers a very interesting series of programs were planned. For the October meeting Oscar Eggers with an all male cast presented The Country Slickerf' In this play Joe fLionel Barrymorel Bex outwitted a very persist- ent highway ofhcial, Howard Kutsch, and made some money for his friend. Tom Sellers played the part of the son. To top og this fine program, Volney Hamp- ton, director of the Old Fort Players, read a very amusing act from Victoria Reginaf' At the Novem- ber meeting Miss Lucy Osborn of Franklin School talked on the type of work the grade schools were doing in the line of dramatics. An uproarious comedy skit, Wanted, An Old Fashioned Christmas, was given for the December meeting. Those members who made this skit possible were Anna Marie Baum- gartner, Leona Menze, Vernon Miller, Bruce Brad- bury, Elizabeth Neg, and Oscar Eggers. Large red apples added to the further enjoyment of the mem- bers at that gay Christmas meeting. Signs, signs everywhere, and no one with a sensible thing to do. This was the condition at the January informal initiation held at North Side High School. A most comical pantomime, The Princess None- 98 Such, was presented under the direction of Don Sparkman, chairman, Maxine Rippeg Elinor White, and Ina Claire Chappell. Also a very clever play, 'iThe Poet,', was given by six of the initiates. As was the custom, the outstanding players from each school were chosen. These individual winners from South Side were Eleanor Vesey and Norman Budde. After the festivities, a delightful evening of dancing was enjoyed. Formal initiation was held at Central High School on the following Sunday. Settling down once more to sensibilities, the good old S. P. C. elected ofhcers at the February meeting. These were Vernon Miller, president, William Schaef- er, vice-president, Sally Rea, secretary-treasurer, and Helen Kelsey, Inter-Club Congress representative. Under the direction of Margery Suter, the adviser, two One-act plays were given by the seniors in March. One was a Cornell University play with a very un- usual plot. Vernon Miller as a professor was brought to his senses by his ever-watchful soul, played by Don Sparkman. The very poor student and the flirt, por- trayed by John Bex and Connie Schultz, furnished much of the humor. The girl who had reached her intellectual limit was played by Maxine Rippe, and the brilliant student by Elinor White. Sally Rea, as the author, gave the very interesting prologue. Others in the cast included Dorothy Herbst, Mary Louise Helms, Earl Anderson, and Oscar Eggers. The other play, whose plot was found to be very interesting, was ad- mirably presented by Mildred Hoff, Mary Louise Lankenau, Bill Schaefer, Jim Dern, and Bill Kruse. by the following officers: 'Menze, secretary, Mar- THE TOTEM 1937 THEY ANNIHILATE SPACE AND TIME By CONSTANCE HAAG and ROSEMARY LEHMAN If you havenlt the price of a railroad ticket, don't hitch-hike-join Travel Club. Itls interesting, educa- tional, and a load of fun. Travel Club has several ideals and purposes, namely, to unite the energy, int- erest, and knowledge of South Side's would-be travel- ers, to collect and disseminate information about vari- ous parts of the earth, to further the achievements of its members through world knowledge, to educate its members for intelligent travel, and to further interna- tional good will through an understanding of the en- vironment and social life of foreign people.

The requirements for admission to the club are a proved desire of any boy to further a better spirit of inter- scholastic athletics and the accumulation of at least two hundred points for the wearing of the Green and White on the gridiron, hardwood, and Cinder path. During the past school year, the South Side lime- light was focused on the Lettermenls Club time after time in the way of many potlucks, a tree-planting cere- mony, a showing of pictures of the South Side-Central football game, and an assembly sponsored by the mem- bers of the club. Among the past lettermen who have made names for themselves since leaving the halls of South Side High School, we find Chet Ensley, a Northwestern University track man, Fred Nye and Gordon Straley, Indiana football aspirants, Don Powell, Purdue var- sity endg and Jack Fleming, graduate of Manchester College and former football and basketball player. Leading the lettermen through the 1936-37 period of its history is a task that was well cared for by James Dern, president, Harold Feichter, vice-president, and Don Reichert, secretary. These ofhcers, acting under the advice of Mr. A. Verne Flint, are deserving of a great deal of credit for their services to the club and to the school. Those who answered the weekly roll call of the meet- ings are Harold Benz, Robert Budde, James Dern, Don Faux, Harold Feichter, Richard Frazell, Carl Hall, Ned Henslee, John Hines, Floyd Menze, Kenneth Miller, Nelson Miller, Robert Miller, Jim Phelps, Don Reichert, Ben Woodhull, and Jerry Zehr.

When the Service Club was formed in 1936, it was enthusiastically received by service workers, its pur- pose being to provide social affairs for those partici- pating in service work. Mr. A. Verne Flint is the club adviser. The only requirement for membership in this organization is that a person must be performing, or has performed in the past, some sort of service work. The members have obtained service credit by assisting in ofhces, doing special work for teachers, helping in the music department, working in the library, and by being of service in various other ways. Working in oflices is a service that girls especially enjoy doing. Miss Pittenger and Miss Alderdice have girls who assist them regularly every period during the day. And still others servel Miss Montgomery has aids who check the attendance in the Study Hall. Mr. Heine, who is in charge of the eighth periods, has two assistants to help him in this work. Two boys and two girls guard the locker rooms each period of the day. Boys collect absence lists twice a day.

They also won the Northeastern Indiana Confer- ence title with three victories and no defeats. In non-conference games, the Archers broke even, winning three and losing a like number. As has been the custom in the past, the football aspirants engaged in a ten-day training session at Camp Crosley. Several members of former South Side football teams and coaches from Indiana colleges helped Lundy Welborn, Archer coach, whip his team into condition for the autumnal battles. Fundamentals were drilled on quite intensively. These included blocking, tackling, passing, kicking, and some elementary plays. Coach Gaumy Neill of Depauw spent some time with the team, drilling them on position, defense and setting up the defensive secondary. While the latter made long gains by Archer backs possible, the former kept the opponents from doing likewise. In the first game of the season, South Side helped Van Wert dedicate their new field. The Cougars scored twice on run-backs of kicks. Although failing to score, the Archers gained over one hundred more yards than did their hosts. Poor tackling and insufficient scoring punch kept South Side from turning in a victory. On the following Saturday, September 26, the 1936 team did what no other Archer team had been able to do, namely, to beat a Mishawaka team. South Side defeated the Cavemen 9 to 7. In the second quarter after their passing attack had been slowed down, the Archers began their hard-driving running-attack. After a series of off-tackle plays, Feichter scored from the 36-yard line. He was ably assisted by the down-field blocking of Kenny Miller and Ben Woodhull. In the fourth quarter, to put the game on ice, Kenny Miller made a place kick from a difficult angle on the 27-yard line. The Cavemen scored in the final minutes. The following Friday South Side's Green Wave failed to tame the Peru Tigers. The Welbornites led until the final quarter when Peru scored twice in rapid succes- sion. The Archers led at the half 6 to 0, when Nelson Miller blocked a kick and ran toward the goal. Thinking that he had crossed the line, he slowed down and was tackled. From the seven-yard stripe the Archers then moved the pigskin into pay- dirt. Tn the final quarter the Green Wave held on the one-yard line, twice, but after a sustained drive of sixty yards the Circus City heavyweights scored. Passes led up to the final touchdown, but a line buck put the score to 12-6 in favor of the Tigers. On the next Saturday South Side played its first home game. Woodward of Toledo turned out to be the second Archer victim. This game was played in a sea of mud. The first score came on a pass from the 25-yard line. In the third quarter Short Benz broke off tackle, and, with blocking by Jerry Zehr and others, scored an 85-yard run. Little could be tried on the mud except straight power plays, yet the Archers drove through their less-experienced rivals for 225 yards. All this helped make the final score 18-O. South Side won their first city game by beating Central Catholic, 12-0. The Archers resorted to a kicking game in the first half to let the Irish wear themselves out. The Welbornites failed to take advantage of numerous breaks in the first half and the half ended 0-0. Returning to the mud-laden field the Archers began to work and pushed over two touchdowns in rapid succession. During the remainder of the game, the Irish unsuccessfully tried to forge ahead with passes, and the game ended 12-0. The outstanding game of the season was played Friday, October 23, at North Side. In this game the championship picture was changed and South Side stepped into the limelight. After trailing for more than three and one-half quarters, the Green Wave staged a comeback that rivaled Notre Dame's famous triumph over Ohio State in 1935. The Redskins scored twice in the first half on long passes. In the middle of the final period, Floyd Menze recovered a North Side fumble which led Top to Bottom: Bud Feichter, Bob Miller, Don Faux, Kenny Miller, Floyd Menze, Bob Pequignot, Lundy Welborn.

After being thrown for a loss twice, on fourth down Feichter skirted right end for a score. There was a little time left, and this was taken advantage of. A short kick was made, which was fumbled. South Side recovered and a second touchdown march was under way, down the field to victory. Then Benz scored on a 20-yard run behind a wave of interference. Now was the time for sus- pense, the score-12 all. Kenny Miller back in kick formation, the ball is snapped, the line holds, the kick-and the point is good. Tn the last seconds, North Side filled the air with passes but to no avail. South Side had beaten North Side in the last four minutes, 13-12. The following Friday, the Archers defeated Decatur at the Yellow Jackets' hive. The second team started, the varsity was not put in until late in the first period. Taking advantage of a break, Decatur scored against the varsity from the one-yard line. After this the regulars began to take things into their own hands. Early in the second period Benz scored on a seventy-yard run. In the last half three more touchdowns were registered, with Phelps, Feichter, and Benz each crossing into pay dirt. Score 25-6. Cn November 7, the Green Wave put the finishing touches on the Champion- ship picture as they knotted the Central Tiger's tail. The Archers began the after- noon with a bang by scoring on the sixth play. Benz went around end for forty yards to score. just before the first quarter ended the Green Wave again scored, this time with Phelps carrying. The Archers scored in the second period as Feichter crossed the double line after a pass. In the third quarter South Side finished their afternooifs entertainment with an end run, good for six points. Central gained some satisfaction in that they pushed over two markers in the final period. Getting sixteen first-downs to Central's seven, the Archers won 25-13. In the final game of the season, the Archers were taken into camp for the third time, losing 19-O. The Archers had innumerable chances to score, but could not push the leather across. In the second half Washington of South Bend started a passing and running attack that the locals could not match. The visitors scored three times to win. As a fitting climax to the season, five of the team were placed on the All-City team. These were Don Faux, Short Benz, Bud Feichter, Nelson Miller, and James Dern. The latter was also named All-City Captain and placed on the All-State team. However, every boy on the squad down to the last scrub is deserving of honor for the work that he went through to produce the WHOLE team.

' Faltering in their first attempt, the Archers lost their opening clash at Laporte, and then won the next nine games in a row. Centralis Tigers broke this winning streak, and, after the Kelly Klads had piled up six more consecutive victories, Central again defeated them. . i Led by Hines, Hall, and Reichert, South Side's scor- ing aces, the Archers scored 590 points to their oppon- ents, 462. South Side won second place in the North- eastern Indiana Conference, losing only one of the eight conference tilts, to Central. By defeating North Side twice, Central Catholic once, and, losing twice to Central, the Friddlemen placed second in the city series championship, Central taking the high honors. Losing to Central in the semi-final game of the sec- tional tournament, the Archers closed their 1936- 37 basketball campaign. The members of this year's varsity squad were Bob Bolyard, Bob Budde, Don Beery, Dick Frazell, Jim Glass, Carl Hall, John Hines, Harold Kitzmiller, Don Reichert, Jim Roth, Lewis Squires, and Ray Speaker. The Archers, suffering somewhat from opening game jitters, dropped their debut tilt to the Laporte Slicers, 30-27. With one minute to go, Laporte, pos- sessing a one-point lead, scored a field goal, sewing up the game. Superior height was the deciding factor in South Side's victory over the New Haven Bulldogs on November 27. The game 106 Bob Bolyarcl, Jim Roth, Lewis Squires, Bob Beery, Harold Kitzmiller Dick Frazell. was the feature of the dedication of New Haven's new gymnasium. Paced by Reichert, the Kelly Klads took the lead at the start and were never in danger, the final score being 38-21. As a result of the strategic coaching of Coach Friddle, the Green basketeers solved the zone defense of the Kendallville cagers in the second period of the game, and, slipping in for short-range shots, finished the game victorious, 32-23. A week later, the Archers won their second N.E.I.C. victory, 33-24, from the Bluffton Tigers. Flashing a fast and short-passing attack that swept them under the basket for easy shots, the Green netters led throughout the game. The next week-end, the Sc uth Siders finished ahead of the Auburn quintet 24-2L-, in a see-saw battle in which the lead changed eight times. The following evening, in their sixth encounter, the Archers defeated the Brazil five, 32-26, making the Red Devils' invasion of Northern Indiana basketball courts a complete fail- ure. The invading quintet possessed a fine advantage in having two elongated pivot shot artists whose shots the Friddlemen vainly strove to block. Coach Frid- dle soon reduced this advantage to a minimum by sending Glass, six-foot-eight-inch center, into the game. The sixth consecutive and first city series victory was obtained by the Green on January 8, when the Southern cagers dropped the North Side Redskins to the tune of 27-18. Handling the ball well, passing care- fully, blocking effectively, and getting their share of the tips and rebounds, the Green aggregation enjoyed a safe margin throughout the tilt. The next night the Kellys added, by the score of 31-14, their seventh straight win by defeating the Michigan City five. Starting a perfect week-end, the Friddlemen jour- neyed to Columbia City where they invaded the Eagles' court and emerged victorious, 30-23. Continuing the trip to Gary, the Kelly Klads outscored the Froebel High School squad, 28-22. Led by Hall and Hines, the Green netmen displayed a fine brand of long-range ,through the Huntington Vikings to shooting in winning the last of the nine consecutive victories. On January 19, the Central Tigers halted the Green wave of victory, the score being 27-47. The game was evenly contested until the second half when the fast-breaking, race- horsing, driving Centralites stretch- ed a six-point lead to a twenty-point margin at the end of the final period. Starting their second win streak, South Side, controlling the ball and throwing up a tight defense which Rushville found diH71cult to pene- trate, easily won from the Lions, 31-20. Scoring only live field goals, Coach Burl Friddle's squad pushed win 19-16 on accuracy in throwing charity shots. Having regained their shooting eyes, the Archers defeated the Berne Bears 36-18, by scoring nine points in the third quarter while holding the opposition scoreless. Ploughing through the North Side defense, the Green tossers added another city series victory and the sixth conference victory to their list. The Redskin de- fense was loose, allowing the Archers to score 26 points while the Redskins collected only 16 points. In their fifteenth game, the Archers defeated the Hartford City Airdales 39-21. The outcome in doubt throughout the game, the Kelly Klads defeated the Decatur Yellow Jackets 27- 25 in the last minutes of the encounter. The next eve- ning, Central's Tigers again swept the Archers before them as they rampaged to a 13-34 victory. In this tilt, the absence of Carl Hall, ace sniper, was badly felt. Completing their schedule, the Archers defeated Goshen, 32-28, and in smashing victory sent the Irish netters of Central Catholic away defeated 38-16. Having completed their schedule, the Green spent two weeks drilling for the sectional tourney. In the opening game of the meet, the Kelly Klads defeated Elmhurst 47 to 16. Their second foe was vanquished to the tune of 47 to 23. In the first quarter, the Leo Lions held the Archers quite well but the Green put on the pressure and obtained a safe lead throughout the rest of the tilt. In the semi-finals South Side again met Central. The game was fre- quented with many fouls and, as the oflricials called all the plays closely, several players from both teams were ejected from the game. Central, on its usual rampage, was held to 35 points while South Side tallied 21 points, ending their 136-'37 season. South Side also had an outstand- ing reserve squad during this season. The Green Wavelets won all their encounters except the one with the Huntington Scyldings and the two 107 Ray Speaker, Robert Budde, Don Reichert, Jim Glass, John Hines, Carl Hall. encounters with Centralis seconds. These up-and-com- ing seconds will ably fill any of the vacancies made through graduation, but next season there will be only two vacancies to be filled. To Coach Friddle and all the members of the squads for the 1936-37 basketball season, South Side says, Congratulations, One thing which Coach Friddle will not have to worry about next season is the lack of experienced players. There will be a large number of experienced players on hand, for only Bob Budde, Don Reichert. and Lewis Squires are lost through graduation. The list of experienced players will include Hall, Hines. Kitzmiller, Frazell, Glass, Bolyard, Speaker, Roth. Beery, and D. Hamilton. Some of the reserve players who will be available are Belot, Cook, Kock. R. Ham- ilton, Braden, Hire, Chedester, and Kelsey. Starting practices early before the beginning of the 1937-38 season, Coach Burl Friddle will start the de- velopment of a squad which all South Side hope will follow the trail of the old cry, Cn To State.

To earn a varsity letter in golf, one must be on the varsity all four years. Last spring there were about twenty boys who entered the 36-hole tournament to attempt to gain a position on the varsity team. The four lowest scorers in this tournament comprised the team. Last yearls team was composed of Harold Schmidt, David Rendleman, Raymond Ballweg, and Wade Theye, Due to the lack of experience on the team, Schmidt being the only one who had seen action before, the Archers did not have a very successful season. Play- ing only six matches, the team won only one and lost five. The first game of the season was played on May 5, when the Archers were very decisively downed by Auburn by the score of 0-12. On May 7 they played Elmhurst at the Broolcwood course and captured their only win of the season by a margin of 7-5. The next match which the team participated in was the confer- ence tournament, also played at Broolcwood, on May 9. Many of the schools in this district participated in this annual tournament, and the Archers made a good showing by placing second. The Archers, total was 361, being bested only by Auburn with a score of 351. On May 19, the Archers journeyed to Elmhurst to have the tables turned on them, being defeated 5-7. On May 22, the team played their second match with Auburn, going down to defeat 4V2-792. Auburn had on their team, Tommy Mason, one of the best high school players we have seen play around here. Mason is now the pro at the Auburn Country Club. The next game was played on May 29, when the Archers met Marion and were defeated by the score of 5-7. On June 1, the team played its last game of the season and was defeated by the same score, 5-7. Relative to last year's record, the Archers do not have much to talk about except for the fact that their poor record was due mostly to inexperience. How- ever, they did much better this year. They won most all of their matches and the N. E. I. C. conference match, which was held at the Auburn Country Club. The Archers' total score in the conference match was a 356. Harold Schmidt led the Archers and tied with Red Braden of Central for low medal honors with 83's. North Side, led by Ralph Meyer, who had an 85, finished as runner-up with 361 points. The team had most of last year's members. Unfor- tunately, Ray Ballweg left our portals to attend Tech- nical High School at Indianapolis. The number one man of this yearls team was Harold Schmidt, who has been on the school team ever since he came to high school four years ago. Schmidt also holds the school record of 78, shot at Broolcwood course in a match several years ago. Schmidt is a very consistent per- former and turned in some good games this season. David Rendleman held down second position this year. Bud Theye, who played on the team last year. did very well in third position. The fourth man was Dale 1-lamilton, who though still an underclassman f'i, M1-ff-ic, ',+FA,- . ' , R First Row: Harold Schmidt, Bill 1VlcLeish. Xvacle Theye.

To make good, members of the team must keep playing at their best. They are at all times subject to challenge from any member of the school. This svs- tem not only makes the players on the team play bet- ter, but also gives everyone that plays golf a chance to show what he can do. In this way. much talent can be discovered that otherwise would not be found. The South Side Archers are fortunate in being close enough to the Broolcwood Golf Course to play their matches there. This course is one of the finest courses in this part of the country, The game of golf is considered the most healthful of all the sports. Practically every muscle of the boclv must be under control while playing a good game of golf. To be successful in golf, one must practice a great deal in his spare time. There is much enjov- ment in the game of golf. Wyhile still a Ndul:-H. one finds it a great deal of fun to go out and hit that lit- tle white ball all around a golf course. After years of practice and dubbing perhaps you underclassmen may be rewarded for your long hours of swinging by being given a position on the South Side High School Varsity Golf Team. 100 Bowling First Row: H.

Because its popularity has increased by leaps and bounds in succeeding years, the system, as at first applied, has been changed and altered to lit the needs of the ever-growing body of participants. I-lowever, the system is fundamentally the same as the one at first tried. This year, as in years past, cross-country was the initial sport of the fall season. As always, there was much competition present in this sport, and the win- ners showed good form and endurance in leading the field on the mile and a half course. The heavyweight division was won by Ned Klotz, who covered the dis- tance in eight minutes and six seconds. The middle- weight championship was won by Gumbet! in eight minutes and forty-two seconds. B. Dammeier won the championship of the lightweight division by crossing the finish line in nine minutes and twenty-one seconds. Participants entered the golf tournament. Compe- tition was running high, but the most consistent of the divot diggers seemed to be D. Rendleman, who drove and putted his way to a victory in this field. Then, tag-football seemed to claim all the attention in the intramural sports world for itself. Competition is of the keenest in this field. Nevertheless, we were forced to notice how those big hefty Archers liter- ally tore and blasted', themselves through holes in the line of their opponents on to a championship in the heavyweight division. The lightweight champion- ship was won by the Dukes. The middleweight cham- pionship was won by the Spartans, who, fortunately, had to play only one game. Tennis turned out to be a matter of unfinished busi- ness in the two heavier weight divisions. In the heavy- weight division, Robert Morton and Dalton lV1cAlister eliminated their worthy opponents and approached the finals. However, the finals were never played, and it was decided to call a tie which was to be broken by a play-off in the spring. There was also a draw in the middleweight division between two colorful freshman contestants, Dick Doermer and Cuallmeyer. The light- weight division, however, was won by that wizard of the Weisser Park playground courts, B. Dammeier. In the bowling competition, Tom Piepenbrink rolled the sixteen pound rubber ball to a championship with a score of 1035 for six games. The average per game, which is 172.5 pins, is excellent. Bud Feichter placed second and Kock, third. Twenty-eight teams took part in the volleyball league this year. This surprising number of teams was divided into two divisions, middle and heavyweight. The team, the Archers, which won the championship. was composed of the same fellows who won the heavy- weight tag-football championship. It defeated the team 46'7 in a play-OH: by scores of 15-3, 14-16. and 15-12. The Cyclops won the title in the middleweight division. They defeated the Irish in another play-off with scores of 15-5 and 19-15. Before taking up basketball, foul throwing was in- dulged in. Instead of playing in teams, each partici- pant shoots for himself. The fifth periods of the days preceding the contest days were devoted to practice for the participants. Because a lightweight boy has just as much chance of making a good score as a heavyweight, the participants were not divided into di- visions. Paul Dammeier placed first by sinking 57 of his 80 tries. Bud Feichter placed second by scoring on 54 of his 80 tries. Robert Halloway placed third by scoring 44 baskets. Then came the climax to the seasons of intramural sports. Basketball, just about the most popular of in- tramural sports, was started. A great percentage of all the participants of intramural sports partook in basketball competition. The championship had not been decided at the time this article was written.

The membership of girls participating in this yearis sports was over three hundred. The G.A.A. is sponsored by Miss Patterson and Miss Smith. The ofiicers are: President, Leona Menze, Vice-President, Margaret Ruhl, Secretary, Ruth Berning, Treasurer, Margery Ruhl, Manager of Sports, Betty Eisenacher, Inter-Club Congress Representative, Virginia Menze, and Freshman Representative, Donna Colicho. During the school year, there are many activities in which the girls delight to participate. Starting in the fall the sports came in this order: tennis, speedball, hockey, volleyball, basketball, tumbling, baseball, and track. There was a great deal of competition in class tennis tournaments. The class winners were Dorothy Spillner, Freshman, Beatrice Craig, Sophomore, Mary Ellen Blauvelt, Junior, and Margaret Ruhl, Senior. The doubles winners were Virginia Menze and Bea- trice Craig, Sophomores, Betty Eisenacher and Mary Ellen Blauvelt, Juniors, Margaret Ruhl and Leona Menze, Seniors. There were no Freshman doubles winners. The next sports of the year are speedball for the underclassmen and hockey for the upperclassmen. Eleanor Wittwer,s Freshman team won the speedball championship, and Gwen Roberts' Sophomore team won the hockey championship for their class, while Leona Menze's team won the Junior-Senior hockey championships. There is always a big turnout for volleyball. In the freshman tournament Dorothy Bloemker's team won First Row: B. Springer, N. Sprunger, H. Redding, E. Seibt, B. Griffith, V. Goeglein, M. Harlan, W.

Evelyn Kruse's Senior team won the Junior-Senior championship. The G.A.A. held its annual Halloween party on October 30. During the course of the evening, there were games, music, dancing, and other kinds of enter- tainment. Helen Grey danced, Anna Marie Baumgart- ner sang while accompanying herself on her ukelele, and later danced, Velma Lehman played the piano and accordian and sang and danced, and Eleanor Ra- rick and Gwen Roberts roller skated. There was a con- test for the best costumes in certain divisions. Helen Banks and Peggy Ann Bacon won the prize for having the funniest costumes, Rita Murchland won the prize for the most beautiful costume-she was dressed as a bride, and Nadine Mueller and Beth Ellen Chadwick won the prize for the most original costumes. Nadine came dressed all in silk hose, and her costume was la- beled Sox Appealf, Refreshments were then served. They consisted of popcorn and taffy apples. The swimming meet was held on December 12 at the Y. W. C. A. Those who took part are: Feichter, Bridges, Carman, Moorhead, Cartwright, and Bowen, Freshmen, Gardner, Straley, Roberts, Connet, Bloem- ker, Sophomores, Bacon and Persing, Juniors, and Scheele, Schuelke, and Berning, Seniors. The next thing put on by the G.A.A. after the Hal- loween party was the vaudeville. This year it was en- titled Up in the Airf' All the script for this vaude- ville was written by two very outstanding and popular seniors, Leona Menze and John Bex. All but two selec- tions used were written by South Side's orchestra, 'band and glee club lead- . er, Mr. Jack Wainwright. The vaudeville went over as a big success. There were two scenes T the 4 Prnhe ship was p . to land by a storm and the island on which it lit was inhabited by shipwrecked pirates. The second scene shows events on the island. There was a grand finale, after which the airship resum- ed its course. Major parts were taken by Don Sparkman, John Bex, and Joe Bex, who gave a :perfect imitation of Wal- ter Winchell.

This year it was held on Friday evening, April 23. The theme of the exhibition was A Day in Man- hatanf' The entire affair was in charge of Miss Alice Patterson and Miss Gretchen Smith, gym instructors, and Leona Menze, president of the organ- ization. The exhibition was based on a tour of a group of people through New York City. The day was divided into three parts. In the morning, the group visited different neighborhoods and saw the play streets of the city, the Hungarian section, Little Syria, and Greenwich Village. In the streets, games of volleyball, baseball, tennis, hopscotch, marbles, and jacks were going on. Several dances were presented there. In the Hungarian section, an original Hungarian dance was presented. In little Syria, an oriental Hower dance was given, and in the Greenwich Village two modern dances and an apache dance were given.

The four classes, freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors, represented different types of transportation. The freshmen were the subways, the sophomores the main streets, the juniors the elevated, and the seniors the airways. There were guest speakers and entertainment. Doris Hays, South Side's pride in the art of vocalizing, sang. The banquet was held in South Side's cafeteria. The exhibition and banquet are the last activities of the G.A.A. for the school year.
