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.
