THE TOTEM 1939 .IIIIIIOHS FIRE PR0ll1-Il'lEI'lT By Pl-IYLLIS HAYNER Again another class of students has passed the junior milestone in its high school career, and en- tered into the beginning of the most joyful year of all. These students have entered their junior year under the capable leadership of Miss Hazel Miller and Mr. Lloyd Whelan, the advisers for the class of '40. They chose their student leaders from among the very best. With James Murphy, president, Tom Crallmeyer, vice-president, Ella Jo Reed, secretary, Bruce Bradbury, Doris Dickmeyer, and Jeanne Gumpper, social councilmen, they have made their junior class one to be long remembered or may we say the uJunior Class of Junior Classes. As every student who enters and passes from the Junior class realizes that the Junior Banquet and Prom are the two 1T1OSf outstanding activities in his junior year, each class tries to make them show their very best work. Approximately one hundred fifty juniors attended the Campus Craze , the Junior Banquet of all junior banquets. Every part of the banquet lived up to the predictions of a great time and fine food. Doris Dickmeyer led the community singing, and Richard Gerig accompanied the group singing. Toastmaster Jim Murphy introduced the speakers. l'lis talk was entitled The Kickoff, Tom Gallmeyer further carried out the collegiate theme by speaking on The First Down, and Superintendent Merle Abbett told of the Goal of Future Life. Miss Pit- tenger told of the two kinds of headlines, stating that we may be in the headlines of life in future years. Jayne Knoche on the marimba played a num- ber of popular songs. Tickling the Ivoriesw was the piano solo of Virginia Fleming. Highlight of the banquet was The Fumble, a playlet written and presented by Bill Reithmiller and Bruce Klotz. The play entitled The Fatal Quest, or Who Panhandled the Pigskin, was cleverly given with gestures by the playwrights. Mr. Snider, the coach of the affair, gave some ad- vice for future college students. I-Iollywood has her Fred Astaire, New York her Bill Robinson, but only South Side has her Fred Walker. So went the words of the toastmaster when he introduced the famous tap dancer of the juniors. Last on the pro- gram was Ella Jo Reed, who gave in poetic verse the class prophecy. Nlural decorations consisted of collegiate wearing apparel, such as bushcoats, saddle oxfords, freshman caps, charm bracelets, and articles pertaining to col- First Row: Robert Allen, Emilou Allenclorph, Dale Amstutz, Dorothy Amstutz, Wfilliam Anspaugh, Dick Aronhalr, Alex Azar, Billie Lou Beaver, John Becker, Helen Beery, Rena Bennett.

The Minuet in Blue, theme for the Junior Prom, proved to be one of the most outstanding events of the year. The color-scheme was carried out entirely in blue and white. Upon entering the room, one passed through an old-fashioned white lattice gate. At the further end was a little white-washed well, and around the walls were white silhouettes depicting old southern scenes, one of the wall silhouettes be- ing a huge white colonial house. Dangling from the programs were old-fashioned parasols in blue and edged in white lace. The orchestra pit was banked with blue vases filled with plume grass. Wlirh this successful banquet and prom, and with the success of many members of the Junior class, let us say, Heres to you. The class of ,4C heads the list, when it comes to belonging to the clubs around the school. Keep up with the times with The Timesw has been the slogan of the students of this school for quite some time. Many juniors at South Side hold important positions on thc Times staff. Bruce Bradbury, serving as news editor, was one of the national winners in the news judgment contest sponsored by Quill and Scroll, Emilou Allendorph, Jean Eortriede and Richard Gerig hold copy editor positionsg Dick Aronhalt, make-up editor, Dorothy Gore and Doris Williaxns, the star reporters, Virginia Goeglein, circulation manager.

THE TOTEM 1939 In the next year, the students of South Side will look to these hardworking people for the bigger and bet- ter Times. Then, too, there are the stars in the athletic field. Speaking for sports of all sorts here are a few who are outstanding in all of the outstanding athletic bouts that take place. The junior class will always remember the 1938-39 basketball schedule and tour- neys because in this class harbored some of the best basketball players South Side ever starred. Although Jim Glass will not be eligible to play in next year's feats after his twentieth birthday, we are sure that he is one member of the junior class who really de- serves plenty of praise for his fine work on the floor. Two other juniors who really deserve praise for their excellent basketball accomplishments are Ralph Ham- ilton and Don Hire. Other members of the Junior class who held berths on the team are Dave Roth, Keith Spiker, Carl Blackie,, Braden, LeRoy Cook, Lloyd Griffen, Bob Englehart, and Fred Walker. Alex Azar, LeRoy Cook, l'Blackie Braden, Roy De- metre, Stewie,' Welborn, Jack Hornberg, Dave Roth, Jack Riclings, Bill Steup, Bob Englehart, Lloyd Grigen, and Bill Shultz led the team out on the football Held for some wonderful games.

To prove this, the membership enrollment includes Delores Ulrich, Jua- nita Likens, Mary Griffith, Virginia Goeglein, Mar- garet Geroff, Betty Younghans, Lois Jarvis, Helen Berry, Dorothy Beyrau, Marcia Allen, Laura Ellen Augsberger, Evelyn Decker, Mary Dirch, Florence Dickmeyer, Audrey Hall, Betty Marquardt, Marian Eeichter, Jean Ewing, Phyllis Frisinger, Maxine Hud- son, Ruth Hoover, Hertha Hoffman, Dorothy Herr- man, Elfreida Hanke, Helen Kespohl, Aleda Randol, Mary Morrison, Olive Zurbrugg, Pauline Zarget, Mary Seibt, Elaine Schelper, Dorothy Amstutz, Avel Bridges, and June Neith. The newest thing in athletics in South Side is the Archery Club, among whose members are Jean Ew- ing, Robert Henry, Bill Kinsey, and Bill Shultz. Those students in the junior class who contribute their talent along the music line are Bud Hayner, Paul Gross, Don Burns, Ruth Brown, Mary Bower, Helen Berry, Dorothy Barnes, Wanda Bacon, Phil- lip Pressler, Ruth Tuernehman, Bill Cargile, Phyllis Fackler, Jack Hodell, Dick Heberinehl, Audrey Hall, Thelma Krauskoph, Peggy Zerkel, Richard Gerig, and Lois Lovelace.

Speaking of finer arts, we must remember the stars of another art, public speaking. Tom Gallmeyer, who has won many outstanding awards for his out- standing speeches, Jeanne Gumpper, Bud I-layner, Dorothy Gore, Dorthea Gardner, Erma Jackson, Bruce Bradbury, Jane Bowen, Donna Taylor, Eugene Tigges, Fritz Lohman, Margaret Niblick, Doris Dick- meyer, Anna Anderson, Alex Azar, Sally Moorhead, Dick Strasburg, Carolyn Cartwright, Jean Catlett, Dorothy Foellinger, Mary Holthouse, Bob Holloway, Bruce Klotz, Bill Reithmiller, Audrey Hall, and Jayne Knoche are members ofthe speech department. Certain members of the junior class have been particularly outstanding thus far in their academic career. One of these stars is James Murphy, presi- dent of the junior class, who has held the -:lass presidency through his two years and has directed very commendably the class activities. He has also been very active in public speaking, having placed in a number of speech contests and represented South Side in the state extemporaneous contest. Bruce Bradbury, the general manager elect of the Times, has done particularly outstanding work in the field of publications. Richard Gerig, a talented piano and trumpet player, will grace the 1940 Totem with his position as business manager, having had much experience in publications as copy editor of the Times. Virginia Goeglein, as next year's Totem edi- tor, ably represents the feminine half of her class, having ben most prominent in her work on the Times staff and other organizations. Thomas Gall- meyer is an outstanding public speaker for a juniorg he won the right to represent Indiana in original oratory contest to be held this summer in Beverly Hills, California, after winning over a large number of contestants in the state contest. These outstanding personalities of the junior class, along with the other prominent juniors, whom we cannot mention because of the lack of space, will go on to make another bigger and better group of able citizens.

Now, wait a minute, donit take me wrong. You see the theme of the Sopho- more party was the ulientucky Derby. Tlotl Tlotl Tlotl Tlotl Horse hoofs down the track. And the race was on. Odds were two to one on the achievements of this class. Prospective win- ning pupils gathered at this affair with eager hopes for a prize. Couples swayed over the track to the rythm of Robert Anweiler and his ten-piece orches- tra. Specialties of the evening consisted of the ex- ceptional entertainment by talented pupils of the class, who kept to the theme of the Derby. Cn the home stretch to the cafeteria, decorated horsey too, the winners fand all were winnersj were awarded re- freshments. Contestants in the affair galloped home on their steeds to remember always the race of ci century. Most appropriate decorations adorned the gym- nasium to make the party one of the most attractive of recent years. The judges, stand was constructed in the middle of the floor, serving as an excellent pit for the orchestra. An unusual highlight in the eve- ning's entertainment was a skit performed by the seven sets of sophomore twins, namely Lois and Jean Gumpper, Harold and Marilyn Emrick, Bob and Jim Brooks, Richard and Ralph Siebold, Don and Ed- ward Nleyer, Bill and Dick Dreyer, and Eva Jean and Bob Wylie. Approximately four hundred equestrian people attended this gala sophomore event in full rigging, one of the greatest numbers to attengl a sophomore party since its origination. The success of the Derby was due to the prize- winning leaders of the class: Bob Hines, presidentg Rebecca Abbett, vice-presidentg Sam Bacon, secre- tary-treasurer, and Betty Elberson, John Bonsib, and Robert Robinson, social council. The sponsors, who trained these winners well, were Miss Lucy Osborne and Wir. Earl E. Sterner. Dthers of the faculty who assisted the class project were Miss Blanche Hutto, decorations, and Miss Lucy Mellen, refreshments. Other activities in which Sophomores have made themselves prominent are numerous. Perhaps the most-talked-of activity is that of public speaking in which the Sophomores have had winners. The most outstanding in the group was Bob Safer, whose two outstanding wins were first place in Wranglers Ex- First Row: Rebecca Abbett, Mary Antrim, Sam Bacon, Betty Baumgartner, Kathryn Beckman, John Bonsib, Florence Browning, lVlary Branclyberry, Richard Braun, Marilyn Burns, Roger Busch, Second Row: Virginia Callison, John Cleland, Jane Cocks, Reba Coppock, Audrey Cooper, Dorothy Cooper, Nlaxine Crago, Delores Daniels, Ruth Dauner, Laura Nlae DeSelm, Dick Dosch.

Another group, which will probably come along, are those students who have already obtained enough points on the Times staff to join the 1500 Club. These are Rebecca Abbett, Sam Bacon, John Bonsib, James Brooks, Kolman Gross, Faye Ciump- per, Lois Gumpper, Mildred Hanke, Elaine Hirshy, Martha Jane Krauskoph, Kenneth Lampton, Clar- ence Jackson, Charlene McAtee, Marjorie McNabb, Robert Robinson, Carol Whittern, and Robert Young. Latin contests have given two more students the chance to show their special ability. Frank Du- Waldt and Violet Steinbauer represented South Side in the state Latin contest through their winning of the school, county, and district Latin contests. Vio- let, in the state contest, became Champion in Di- vision H by obtaining the highest grades. Intramural sports have claimed Frank Duwaldt, Emil Stein, Don Meyer, Dave Stolte, Loren Sprung- er, Tom Brown, Jack Waldschmidt, Max Stobaugh, Tommy Hall, Don Stobel, Don Reitdorf, Everett Trulock, Ralph Meyers, Wayne Ludwig, Ralph Put- enger, Kenneth Baumgartner, Charles Miller, Charles Beall, Algine Boese, Richard Derck, and Calvin Armstrong. In the girls' division, gymnastics have given active girls an opportunity to serve as student leaders, class leaders, office girls, executive boards, and commit- tees. These are Bernadine Bender, Barbara Brower, Margaret Brower, Marguerite Calkins, Lois Camp- bell, Mary Alice Dunten, Elaine Ferguson, Helen Fry, Ruth Ehrman, Violet Galbreath, Faye Gump- per, Lois Gumpper, Mildred Hanke, Nancy Hess, Elaine Hirschy, Elizabeth Kelso, Martha Jane Kraus- koph, Sarah Jane Makey, Betty Mann, Marie Leb- amoff, Geneva Martin, Irene Meyer, Frances Nash, Betty Nichols, Betty Porter, Bernadine Pressler, Pauline Schoenherr, Hilda Schubert, Florella Shi- mer, Jeanne Smith, Marilyn Sondles, Joan Squires, Gloria Staley, Bettilu Stein, Maxine Sterling, Betty Thiele, Marilyn Wolf, and Eva Jean Wylie. Many girls are interested in the affairs of home life, so they have joined the Wo-Ho-Ma Club. Those girls who have become outstandingly active during the past year in this club are Lois Gumpper, Louisa Haugk, Eileen Kiessling, Mary Demetre, Tompsie First Row: Louisa Haugk, Elaine Helms, Constance Hirschy, Elaine Hirschy, Nancy Hess, Janet Holtmeyer, Lois Holz- worth, June Hoopingarner, Eileen Horman, Richard Hornberger, Miriam Jackson, Second Row: Bob Jamieson, Lisea Kaiser, Paul Keib, Eileen Kiessling, Douglas Kiger, Marcille Kimmel, Nlary Jane Knippenberg, Betty Koehler, Katherine Kuntz, Wilma Lageman, Bud Lampton.

Since traveling is the hobby and pastime of many South Siders, the Travel Club finds many outstand- ing sophomores as its members. Among these itiner- ant people are Edna Bauer, Ivan Truman, Ruth Ann Archer, Betty jane Baumgartner, Ruth Dauner, La- Verne Greiner, Mary Jane Hale, Elaine Hirschey, Janet Holtmeyer, Betty jane Koehler, Irene Meyer, Olive Miller, Miriam Roebel, Bettilou Stein, and Eve- lyn Thomas. lVlany phases of art, such as costume designing, posters, lettering, and carving, have shown the out- standing ability of Russel Kabisch, Loren Howe, james Hurst, Marian Seemeyer, Leona Ehrman, Betty jane Horstmeyer, Gerald Ray Dolan, Lester Oppenlander, Nancy Hess, Maxine Crago, and Lea- nor Kensler. Four girls, june Flaig, Ruth Dauner, Hilda Schu- bert, and Betty Koehler, who are musically minded, lend their talent to the music department. Boys who lend their talent to the fooball and basketball varsity teams include Ralph Shimer, Bob Hines, Robert Englehart, and Ralph Tieman. Bob Hines was also a sophomore representative on the Archers' basketball team that went as far as the re- gional tournament. Starting off with a slow trot, these Kentucky trot- ters are well on their way to gallop in first as they round their sophomore bend. With the completion of another marvelous school year and all its many exciting activities and interest- ing studies, with the realization in mind that their second high school year is at an end with only two more short winters ahead of them, and knowing that their own major class activity of the year was a grand success, these sophomore uveteransn are anx- iously awaiting the time that they will become the dignified seniors of South Side High School. With the now notable number of outstanding students in the sophomore class it appears quite evident that this class will live to become one of the school,s truly re- markable classes. The end ofthe sophomore year can perhaps be called the critical point or crisis of a student's four years here at South Side, for he has just reached the half way mark. He can look back upon the two years he has just completed and think of all he has said and done, and he can also look cautiously into the future and predict what the other remaining two years will hold in store for him. Many hopes and ex- pectations are conjured up concerning one's junior and senior years, some of which are likely to ma- terialize, however, the two years that have just come to a completion can no longer be amended but must remain as memories. These sophomores, like all other sophomores, too, have come to this critical point in their school life. From all indications how- ever, most of their hopes and expectations will no doubt become quite material. With this excellent crop few disappointments and disillusionments will result.

The prominence of the freshman class was shown when several of the freshman boys were chosen for the football squad. These are Jean Auer, Bob Birk- enbuel, Harold Brudi, Russel Dixon, Ralph Shimer, Robert Schauf, Wayne Turley, and James Worman. The publications have taken the extra time of sev- eral members of the freshman class. Those who work on the Times are Marjory Kaade, Ethelclrea Behling, Alene Loeser, Katherine Kixmiller, John Gumpper, Betty Cowan, Wanda Eller, Carolyn McNabb, .Bill McNulty, Phyllis Rolf, Dick Barth, Ann Bohn, Mar- jory McNabb, Paul Johnson, Mary Wilson, Nadine Woehr, Mary Feller, Mary Carlo, Phillip Schwartz, Gladys Foellinger, Clara Nlakey, Lois Bremer, 0r- licla Braun, Lois Hoff, Eleanor Muntzinger, Ruth Werkinan, Peggy Berning, Joan Smith, Dorothy Gil- dea, Lucy Smith, Phyllis Fensler, Bud Lampton, and Bob Gunzenhauser. Bob Ray is the only freshman in the visual edu- cational department. The Junior Math Club offers many opportunities for the freshmen interested in club work. These are Etheldrea Behling, Tom Dial, Margaret Heine. Roger McVay, Clifford Springer, and Neva Kirk.

When these freshmen entered South Side High School, they, like all other freshmen the world over, were confused and green. South Side, more than many other schools perhaps, is a confusing place. In the first place there are many persons in the school, some 2079 students last year. In the second place, the building itself is perhaps complicated and difficult to find onels way in it with all of its labyrinth of rooms and passages. In the third place, there is always a great and varied amount of activity going on, bewildering to any newcomer. The students and faculty do their best to help the freshmen to do .away with some of his confusion, but it is a hard job, and it is difficult for any freshman to be completely at ease in South Side. Then there are always those practical jokers who take pleasure in even further confusing and torment- ing the green freshmen. In a word, the sophomores. Perhaps it would be interesting to follow Johnnie Freshman through his first day at school. He comes to school with fears of persecution instilled in him while still in grade school. So with trepidation and great misgiving he approaches the school for his first inspection. lVlisery likes company, so Johnny at- taches himself to others in the plot. Perhaps he has played on him one of the many jokes reserver for use against greenhorns. Maybe he is directed toward the grill work in the front hall, which is actually the opening of a Ventilating shaft, and is told that it is an elevator which will -connect him to the second floor. Well, he thinks, this is a line school-elevators and everything. At grade school one had to walk from one floor to another, but now one merely has to push a button and be whisked quickly to his destination. Although he doesn't find any button, he decides to wait for the elevator. So he waits and waits, good- ness knows how long. Then some kindly disposed upperclassman or Uwisev fellow freshman explains the joke to him, and then his benefactor probably proceeds to play one of his own on him, such as sending him to get a library card fthere are nonej . Among the freshmanls other trials and tribulations is the difficulty of finding the correct room in the building. During the first few days, he often gets lost and finally arrives at his destination after the class has begun. The freshman's early troubles may be discouraging, but, as time passes, his confusion ripens into understanding, his former tormentors be- come his friends, and his first few days become a pleasant and amusing memory. These freshmen, along with all the ugreeniesu, comprise the most promising freshman groups ever to enter South Side. This class has taken hold in the extra activities and are in very good standing in class work.

The new sec- ond story greatly improved the outside appearance and removed completely that one-story, factory look. South Side had grown up. More important than this were the results of the reconstruction work inside the building. The added story provided many much-needed rooms, and notice- able remodeling had been done on the first floor also. Expansion had been demanded by over-crowded con- ditions, but, along with this expansion, there came many other improvements. This was not altogether a surprise to 1110513 students, however. Tn the spring of the preceding school year, the reconstruction had been heralded in, you might say. The not un-welcome interruption of study by the tapping, scratching, scraping, hammering, grind- ing, and pounding of men at worlc immediately dis- closed to the brighter students that the remodeling had begun. By the end of school, even the 1110512 confused freshman realized that something was going on. At any moment during those days, the teacher was lilzely to find himself tallcing in direct competition with a compressed-air hammer. Some teachers even developed a teaching technique to suit conditions: They would speak rapidly during the brief respites of silence to get in as many words as possible before the racket began again, when it did, they stopped and permitted the pupils to ponder their teachings Not Rembrandts, maybe, but they learn Their aim-to make extinct the granite b during the interval, and then when the noise ceased, they once more resumed their part in the game. Then there were the entertaining conversations that floated into the classroom, of workmen talking, not too ener- getically, about how hot it was, how much time there was until quitting time, etc. On some occasions two or three men would enter a classroom, make a few measurements, tap here and there mysteriously, nod lcnowingly to each other, and then silently depart. On other occasions they would make similar in- vestigations and then proceed to discuss quite audibly ways and means and facts and figures for a while and then leave the room, still arguing. Those were interesting days. Students found the new second-story rooms all shiny and modern, with better linoleum, better black- boards, better windows and blinds, better electric fixtures, automatic electric ventilators, and movable seats. The new rooms were: the big study hall be- side the cafeteria, which can be used excellently as a small assembly room or cleared of chairs and used as a dance floorg the Greeley Room, with a greatly- appreciated built-in stage and an excellent compact little kitchenette, the additional social science, public speaking, commercial, and mathematics classroomsg the offices for Mr. Flint and Miss Pittengerg the en- larged general olqiceg the big recreation room which can be used in many ways and has been used for tumbling, high jumping, etc., with mats laid down, for talcing group pictures for this yearbook, for play- ing ping-pong, and for general getting together of to appreciate art.

Other improvements were: stairways, not inclines, at the south end of the building to connect the two stories, Mr. Null's office, where the Voorhees room used to be, the Voorhees room changed to the typing roomg the enlarged Times room and press room equipped with a mammoth new press, the new glass- enclosed Totem office, a room within a room, in the Times roomg the visual education office in the former Totem hole,'g the new public address system throughout the entire school with the broadcasting studio and switchboard in Mr. Snider's office. In this improved building, the largest group of students ever enrolled at South Side have just com- pleted another lively year. The football season, al- though we hate to acknowledge the fact, was not, so far as scores are concerned, a complete success. Al- though we did lose out in the tournament, the basketball season was actually a very successful oneg we were the only major school in the state which had gone through her regular basketball schedule un- defeated and we reigned with Frankfort as co-favor- ite according to state-wide opiniong and that is not exactly failure. The track team this season staged a splendid comeback by winning the first meets in two years. The Junior prom, the Senior one-act plays, the G. A. A. revue, the Senior fun-fest, and Senior dance were all memorable events. Five of Mrs. Reike's public speakers became elig- ible to compete in the national contest by winning in state competition. South Side's Latin contestants swept the county and district contests and Violet Steinbauer won first place in the state contest. The Times continued its almost monotonous first place winning in state and national contests. Bruce Brad- bury won high honors in Quill and Scroll contests. Many South Siders took part in radio programs and contributed articles to the News-Seiitinelis Youth's Passing Show page. The senior plav, with Margaret Gross, Kitty Clin- ard, and Bill Newhard handling very competently the leading roles, was another finished production under Miss Margery Suter. Margaret played the part of a domineering mother who, with good intentions, tried to force certain careers on her daughter, played by Kitty, and her son, played by Bill, who both even- tually did what they wanted to, of course. Again this year, South Side was the first school to put over some new ideas. The survey by the Red Cross of our school for possible organization in case of disaster was the first such survey made of any high school in the United States. Mr. Wilbtirn Wil- son saw his brainchild, the Indiana Student Forum, grow into a chattering youngster QNO refiection on the discussions of this group by the unhappy choice of that word uchatteringw, is intended or should be impliedj . Such an excellent organization for encour- aging young people to learn and think about vital questions can well be copied by other states. Those are some of the high spots of the past yearg but something more is needed to give a true picture of 1938-39 at South Side. We must say more not about the spectacular but about the usual, the every- day happenings, the common life at school--the things that the average student of us did for had done to himj on an ordinary day. Perhaps you have already detected that we are slowly but inevitably coming to something which might be called, A Day in the Life of a South Side Studentug but be tolerant, for, after all, it is a com- mon plan and not a bad one either. Policemen, poli- ticians, chorus girls, debutantes, and prizefighters have all been written about in the day-of-the-life-of manner and even a South Side student should have his day. Besides, why not copy the idea? For in these days, when everyone tries to be original, to be unoriginal is sometimes most original. Cur average student, then, is roused early in the morning by the jangling of the alarm clock or more surely and more permanently by the penetrating voice of his mother fone can turn an alarm clock olfl. This getting-up business is no mean achieve- ment, in fact, many of us feel that after we have once won this agonizing struggle, we have accomp- lished enough for one day. There may be some up- and-out-of-bed-instantly students but they are prob- ably just as numerous as the ten-hours-of-sleep-every- night students, that is to say, they are a rare species. Still in a mental fog, our student manages to get dressed and washed and stumble downstairs, where he sits down to a hurried breakfast. After perhaps professing total disinterest in his cereal even if it is crispy, crunchy, delicious, etcfl, he may chew a piece of toast and drink some orange juice and some cof- fee or milk. At any time during this meal or after it, he may cry out, lVligosh, look what time it isll' and leave for school. Arriving at school, he seeks out his comrades to while away the time before home room period begins. The conversation may be light or most serious and important when the questions for some assignment are yet to be answered. When home room period begins, his teacher con- scientiously quiets him along with the others, point- ing to a wooden box on the wall. From this loud- speaker, he soon hears the radiomnipotent voice of Mr. Snider who says in the best Jimmy Wallington manner, Good morningf, l-le listens quietly and courteously to the announcements that follow and those of the teacher and perhaps even a home room program-now long extinct in some home rooms, but, to tell the awful truth, he is not yet really awake but in a kind of home room semi-slumber. His body and senses are partly awake but his mind is asleep. fwhich reminds us of the fellow who said to one of those dazed freshmen, You're really quite a remark- able boy. In fact, youlre the only person I've ever heard of who has walked in his sleep for fourteen years. j Some students manage to get in some desperate last-minute studying during home room period, but most of us would rather Hunk than at- tempt such a task at that time in the morning. When the bell rings, our average student walks through the halls to his first period task. Let no one think that this walking through the halls is unimpor- tant or easy. Walking to and from classes is a major school activity. If you take the trouble to figure it out, you will undoubtedly find that during his four years at South Side the average student spends blank hours walking blank miles in the halls. fYou Fill in the figures, I donlt enjoy arithmetic any more than you do., The average student soon finds that walking through the halls unscathed is a skill necessary for survival and well worthwhile cultivating. He dis- covers that certain definite types of hall walkers com- plicate it. There is the fellow known as the frus- trated footballer, who wanted to play football but did not quite make the team, and so he does his line- plunging and broken-field running in the halls. I-le zig-zags swiftly and beautifully in and out of the lineg but then, of course, he occasionally zigs where he should have zagged. There is also the sweep, one Your announcer, R.

Then there are: the studious type, who creeps along with his nose in a book fre- quently flattening it fhis nosel against someone or the wall, the strolling talker, who seems always to be carrying on a conversation with two or more per- sons at opposite ends of the hall and, at the same time, bawls out others for not looking where they are going, and finally the type known as Lot,s wife, be- cause, of course, he is always looking back. If our average student has survived the perils of hall walking, he should arrive at his first period class within five minutes. There he gives clear, accurate answers to all questions on the assignment which he has very carefully prepared to recite-maybe. Since classwork is well known to most people, we will permit the rest of the morning of our student to go unobserved, pick him up at noon, watch him eat lunch at home or in the cafeteria, put him back in school for the afternoon, and then pick him up again after school. At this time, he either goes to some club meeting, participates in some school activity, loafs around at school or goes home-or a little of each. After an hour or less time, our average student has reached home and begun to read the newspaper, listen to the radio, or engage in some activity with his pals. Then he eats his evening meal and begins to think it is time to begin to start to get a little studying done perhaps. That does not mean that he dives imme- diately into his books but that he considers and care- fully weighs the question, To study, or not to study. However, in a few minutes, he does start and works diligently for-a few more minutes. Then perhaps he is becoming bored with studying. If there were only some means whereby he could study and be entertained at the same time. The solution to the problem? It is obvious. The radio. Cn goes the radio, and our student solemnly studies the Pythagorean theorem to the accompani- ment of Benny Goodmanis orchestra. Gradually the Pythagorean theorem begins to lose vividness and shape, its straight lines blur and swayg for a moment, the geometric figure seems inexplicably to be dancing in swingtimeg then it fades and is gone. Goodman has won. Cur average student now listens to the radio for a few minutes, but soon, with firm resolution, he turns it off and renews his studying. He is really getting some studying done, he feels, when he begins to be sleepy and glances at the clock. which tells him that he has a good excuse for not continuing his work. Ir has grown lateg it is time to go to bed, and he can do the remainder of his les- sons in his study period the next day. I lo-hum. So off to bed, and another day in the life of a South Side student closes. Looking back not on any particular day but on our four years at South Side is always pleasant, but an especially enlightening and affecting experience is looking through the old Totems of earlier years. As we turn their strange pages, unfamiliar faces stare out at us, scilred declarations on character, education, and life amaze us, quaint art-work and humor amuse us. The many writers' praises, appreciation, humor, sentiment, and ideas, thought to be original by each, run in the same vein however, despite their strange- ness to us. We realize then that a Totem is an ex- pression of a class understandable perhaps by its members but doubtless somewhat odd and fool- ish to other readersg yet this book-as they modestly explain in all year books-will not be altogether use- less if it helps to preserve for us a few backward glances.

Stamp! Stamp! The boys are march- ing-might well be the theme of the Philatelic Club, for the numbers truly march forward in the line of postage stamps. Mr. James Farley is their most trustworthy friendg for whenever a new stamp is issued, whether it be a pictorial or a worlcl7s fair commemorative, these mucilage tasters are some of the first people to get them. During the past few years the Philatelic Society has come to be one of the best known clubs in the school. The theme for the fall semester was The Ameri- cas Via Postage Stampsf' There were games, talks, and frames of stamps to aid in carrying out this theme. The club was guided through the fall semester by the following officers: president, Carlton Clemg vice-president, Thelma Piferg secretary, David Slat- leryg treasurer, Norman Fortress, sergeant-at-arms, Melvin Schwartzg point-recorder, Xxfilmer Bengsg In- ter-Club Congressman, Donald Hensch. The following officers were elected for the spring semester: president, David Slattery, vice-president, Mary Virginia Russg secretary, Jack N. Fellerg treas- urer, Norman Fortress, sergeant-at-arms, Robert Wylie, point-recorder, Wiliner Bengsg Inter-Club Congressman, Williain Cartwright. Miss Pauline Van Crorder is faculty adviser. The highlight of the fall was the annual skating Front Row: N, Fortress, B. Clem, lVl. Russ, Snyder, P. Zirkel, K. Lakey, R. Hirschey. Second Row: Nl. Schwartz, B. Wylie, lVliss Van Gorder, R.

The Jitterbugs won, and each member of that team was awarded a special prize. The very successful pub- licity for this affair was due to the efforts of Bruce Bradbury and Ralph Herb. According to Mr. Bell of Bell's Rink, the skating party was the most suc- cessful ever sponsored by a city-school organization. The program committee for the Christmas party, headed by Robert Wylie, was awarded the prize for putting on the best program of the semester. The spring semester was swung into action with the formulation of plans for the annual picnic and potluck. The members of the Philatelic Club have learned to be careful, to be patient, to be economic, to be neat, and to be aware of the importance of postage stamps. No rubber stamps exist in this organization, be- cause a merit system of points incites each mem- ber to be very active. When 400 points are earned, a bronze pin is awarded. A silver pin is given for 900 points, a gold pin for 1500, a gold with a green bar for 1900, and a gold with a green and white bar for 2300 points. The mania for stamp collecting affects even the best of men, including Presidents of the United States. Former Presi- dent Herbert Hoover and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt are enthusiastic stamp col- lectors. That intelligent men should s p e n d hours collecting, sort- ing, and mounting small bits of colored paper seems absurd, but there - is method in their madness. Stamp col- lecting is not only fu'l of genuine enjoyment. but it has definite cul- tural value. The stamps of a nation represent the nation, and a knowl- edge of stamps is there- fore a knowledge of the world and its countries. On stamps can be found information about a country's g e o g r aphy. history, landmarks, ex- ports and noted heroes. UIHEII THE? IIIEET DIIITIE LITERIITURE THEV ITIETEBITE By MARGARET WITTMER Sir Francis Bacon once said, 'qReading maketh a full mang conference a ready man, and writing an exact man .... H The Meterite Club purpose truly coincides with Bacon's philosophy. They be- lieve that in this day of turmoil, the finer arts, of which literature is a part, should be studied and appreciated. Each member of the Meterite Club stands for this quality of appreciation of literature. Seventy-five South Siders can't be wrong! Most of the girls in South Side receive great en- joyment from their English courses. To further their interest, there are clubs here at South Side to instill in the hearts of the girls appreciation of good literature. One of these much-appreciated clubs is Meterites. Meterites may be enjoyed by all 9B, 9A, or 10B girls whose grade in English is above a B. After she becomes a IOA, she may join Meterite,s sister organization which is known as Philo. Philo is the club for the upperclass girls. Meterites have various activities throughout the year which are of much interest to the unclerclass girls. This year has been one of the most interesting. Since 1929, the club's adviser has been Miss Susen Peck. The club was organized in 1925 by Miss Myra fi Esarey and now has be- come one of the most j active clubs in South Side. This year the girls of the Meterite Club have acted out one-act plays. They started doing this the first semester and lilced it so well that it was continued through- out the last semester. Some of the favorite plays they have given are The Wedding by John Kilpatrick. Grandma Pulls the Stringu by Edith Bat'- nard and David Carb, and The Rom1n'e s', by Edmund Rostand. At each club meeting the girls choose a play they wish to have for M. E. Turner, M. Heine- their particular meeting. These plays are acted and produced by the committee members so that each girl is given a chance to be in a program. The social activities of the year consisted of many things, one of which was a theatre party. The girls attended the Emboyd Theatre and saw The Shining HOL1f.,, Another activity of the year was a slcating party held at Bell's Rinlc. There were two teas, a candlelight tea at Christmas time and a farewell cele- braticn for the graduating members. There is also a joint meeting with Philo. One of the outstanding meetings of the year was the spring tea held for the mothers. The officers for the fall semester were president, Wiliiia Lagemang vice-president, Marjorie McNabb: secretary, Joan Cartwrightg treasurer, Hilda Schu- bertg and program chairman, Mildred Hanlcee. The officers for the spring semester were president. Nlarjorie NlcNabb, vice-president, Carol Trenaryg secretary, Rosalie Hall, treasurer, joan Cox, and program chairman, Dorothy Gildea. 1 Front Row: A. Perry, IVI. Gregg, M. L. Wilsoia, M. Wfalce, R.

Each outstanding inci- dent is part of the rec- ord in black and white. The reconstruction of South Side this year gave us an opportunity to expand our academic facilities, but at the same time it agorded us a chance to expand our yearbook material with a theme that will long be remembered. With the reconstruction as the theme, our thoughts will easily be guided through its labyrinth of memories. The first step in launching the annual was the Totem cam- paign launched on Oc- tober 19 by the circula- tion assistants, Nadine 3 Front Row: A. L. Kowalski, Roose, A. Snoke, Salon, D. Aronhalt, Magley, D. Buchholz, B. Griffith, N. Mueller, Warren. Second Row: Dyer, P. Geller, L. Rea, H. Wiehe, G. DeWees, Bradley, H. Faux, K. Clinard, B. Neeb, E, Vesey, B. Bolyard. Third Row: M.

Kirk. D. Dennis, E, Hoffman. Fifth Row: B. E. Chadwick, R. Bade, D. Garton, M. Spencer, Miss Harvey, K. Warren, M. Mitchell, B. Showalter, E. Selzer. Mueller and Phyllis Geller. The campaign ended with 975 subscriptions. Dick Buchholz sold the highest total of individual subscriptions, forty-five in n.umber. The second step was the senior picture campaign which oH:icially opened on October 6. The campaign was a big success with 403 seniors having their pictures taken at the Jefferson Studio. The third step in the cycle of events came with launching of the underclassmen picture campaign in all fresh- man, sophomore, and junior home rooms. The fifth move was the taking of individual club pictures by Kenneth Warren, Joel Salon, and the commercial photographer. hluch of the success of the Totem is due to the staff photographer, Kenneth Warren, who spent his time taking pictures of memorable occurrences. Jan- ice Dyer, art editor, did an outstanding job and her drawings decorate the many pages of this yearis an- nual. Frieda Schubert contributed her part by hold- ing the position of senior editor of our book, assist- ing her were Eileen I-loffman and Edith Summers. The junior editor, Beverly Ann Griffith, and her as- sistant, Phyllis Hayner, edited the junior section. Joann Bradley was the sophomore editor and assist- ing her was Helen Wiehe. Jeannette Warren and Anna Lou Kowalski held down an important job as Z0 co-activities editor. The freshman editor was Betty Bolyard, and her assistant was Irene Kirk. Boys, sports editor was Max Mitchell, assisting him was Eddie Reeves. Girls, sports editor was Betty Sho- walter, and her assistants were Donna Dennis and Wfihna Carrier. The proof readers, who had a hard, tiresome job, were Dorothy Hall. Mary Lampton, Jack Feller, and June Enoch. The work of copy editing was very well done by Nlargaret Gross, Elea- nor Vesey, Betty Daniels, Margery Rapp, Helen Banks, and Betty Neeb. There were a lot of other important jobs on the Totem including that of chief copy editor held successfully by Joe Bex. The events following, in which the staff had no hand, were different but essential-sending of all pictures to the engravers, sending stories to printers, and hnally censorship by the adviser. Hardly do the students realize the time and energy spent in the making of a yearbook. Being quite dif- ferent from a school newspaper, the yearbook takes several months to prepare, requires infinite care in the preparation of a budget, commands the expert- ness and accuracy of a photographer, takes the patience and diligence of the layout editor, and last but not least, requires the skill and accuracy of the printer. THE TOTEM 1939 THE ELIIBS GET TOGETHER By ARTAFAE ROACH We, the students and faculty of South Side, in order to form a more perfect union of our clubs, establish justice in their dealings with the school, insure do- mestic tranquility among the clubs them- selves, provide for their common defense against conflicts and un- fair competition, pro- mote the general wel- fare of extra-curricular activities in South Side, and secure the blessings of cooperation in all school projects to our- selves and our posterity, h a v e organized and maintained the Inter- C l u b Congress for South Side High Front Row: lVl.

Club Congress has moved forward for the advancement of all clubs and activities in South Side and for cooperation among all students. This club could well be called a great chain which links students to a club and one club with another. Each club appoints a member to represent the club in the Inter-Club Congress meetings. Here dif- ferent subjects and projects are discussed for the good of the entire school, and the decisions reach the student body through clubs and home rooms. During the fall semester, the club chose as its president Carl Hall, with Evelyn Kruse acting as his alternate. Bill Riethmiller kept the official rec- ords and Carl Goebel was the treasurer. Ruth Weaver served as parliamentarian. In the spring semester Dick Buchholz directed the affairs of the clubg his main helper was Doris Williams. Vera Berning became secretary and Bob Byers the banker. This time Emilou Allendorph was parliamentarian. Each year the Inter-Club Congress takes charge of the distribution of Christmas and Thanksgiving baskets which are furnished by the home room stu- dents. This year 73 Thanksgiving baskets and 69 Christmas baskets were delivered through the serv- ices of this club. Another marked event in the club's activities was the courtesy week. Each morning during this week, some person was publicly recognized for an act of courtesy that he had committed. The Inter-Club Congress also instigated a series of after-game dances which proved very popular with our students. These dances were held in South Sideis new recreation room. The Senior Tvy Day program climaxecl the year for the Inter-Club Congress. This annual occasion was carried out in every splendor. Five chosen queens led the procession of students to the south- east corner of the school where the ivy was planted amid much ceremony. The advisers for the club are Mr. A. Verne Flint, Mr. C. A. Bex, and Miss Emma Kiefer. There have always been some projects which could not be successfully promoted by a single club, yet these projects have been desirable and greatly needed. It occured to the founders of the Inter-Club Congress at South Side that a union of clubs could best perform this service. By working together through the Inter-Club Congress, clubs of South Side have carried to a successful conclusion many projects which would have been otherwise impossible. There are times when it is more practical to have united action by all the clubs of the school than for each club to duplicate the efforts of the others. 21 THE TOTEM 1939 BELLE5 LIHE BELLES-LETTHE5 By BETTY NEEB Led by the lure of literature, Z5 Archer girls primarily organ- ized into the South Side Philalethian Society in 1922. Making its start under the guidance of Miss Elizabeth Dema- ree, it has progressed into an organization of 90 supporters. The club pursues a two-fold pu:- pose of stimulating in high school girls an in- terest in higher litera- ture and promoting friendship as well as high ideals.

As the Philalethian Society enables its members to enjoy a higher appreciation of better literature, there are several scholastic requirements a girl must have before she may become a Philo. She 1T1L1St be a IOA, a junior, or a senior and have a grade of B-or above in English. For those girls who possess dramatic talent, the club has organized a special group called the Philo- Thespians. The purpose of this group is to furnish plays for the club meetings whenever they are de- sired. This year the talented aspirants presented the play, Too Many Nlarysf' under the direction of 22 Virginia Shidler. The cast of characters included Eleanor Vesey, Frances Van Buskirk, Dorothy Ger- dom, I'Ielen Wiehe, Betty Marquardt, and Phyllis Branning. Frances Van Buskirk, who had charge of musical trends of the club, organized a worthwhile choral group. Members of this organization were Eleanor Vesey, Miriam Jackson, Katherine Beckman, Betty Doris Brindle, Jeanne Gumpper, Margaret Null. jane Engleking, and Frances Van Buskirk, From these girls a quartet was chosen to sing for various occasions. Janice Dyer, with her able committee composed of Betty Marquardt, Audrey Hall, Miriam Jackson. Katherine Beckman, Betty Neeb, Bernice Etzler, Marney Dyer, Helen Wiehe, Betty Daniels, Helen Banks, and Lois Rea, has been greatly responsible for the success of many of Philois outstanding events. Among these, on November 11 was the Toreador Trot,', Philo's annual dance, which always precedes the Central-South Side football game. Pre- dominate was the colorful Spanish background, the hop was well attended by many students. Frances Van Buskirk was in charge of the orchestra com- THE TOTEM 1939 mitteeg Janice Dyer, decorations, Anna Lou Kowal- ski and Anna Anderson, attendance prizes, and Eleanor Vesey and Margery Rapp, tickets. October 17 marked the Fall Frolic of the group. It was held at Foster Park in the form of Following the Gypsy Trail. Carrying out the modes of Gypsy life, a huge fire and fortune teller were features. But even Gypsies ITILISC eat, and so a feast was spread before the outdoor players. Maurine Siebert, Velda Oppenlander, Gwen Dewees, and Betty Lou Geake were those people responsible for this event. On December 12 the group held its Christmas party. Mrs. R. L. Feagles, who has presented to the club a Christmas story for a number of years, again related a charming holiday tale. Also featured was the instrumental trio and the Philo chorus. Rolling along in great style were all Philalethian members and their friends at the club skate, which was held at Bellls rink on January, Friday the 13th. Following a Lucky Landingl' motif, the affair was capably handled by Donna Lou Foutz, Janice Dyer, Betty Daniels, Becky Abbett, and Katherine Beck- man. The Philo musicale was held on January 22 at the home of Lois Rea. Choral selections were rendered by Frances Van Buskirk, Margaret Null, and Eleanor Vesey. Emalyn Remmel also sang two solos. Key- board highlights were offered by Elizabeth Rose and Virginia Fleming. Refreshments were served at the close of the program. Commemorating the birthday anniversaries of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, the group held its pa- triotic meeting on Feb- ruary Z0. Charlene Mc- Atee presented a clever comparison on the life of these two great indi- viduals, and Phyllis Branning read a clever poem in keeping with the event. A community singing of universally loved songs, together with a historical game, ended this meeting. Gumpper, M. Feichter. R. Rediger, M. Fry. Using a St. Patrick's Day motif, the Phila- lethians staged their yearly banquet. It was held at the Wayne Ho- tel, and it carried out the theme of Emerald Isle. The idea of the theme was to combine banquet ideas used by the club throughout the years. Janice Dyer and her decorating committee were responsible for all table markings. In with the Philo tradition, the club held a spring meeting which was a joint session with the Meterite Club. The purpose of this meeting was to acquaint those Meterite members who are planning to join Philo with the club methods established by Philo. On Nlay 15, the annual Senior Day was held in the form of a tea at the home of Lois Rea. The affair, which was held with the purpose of honoring all graduating Philalethians, was graciously worked out with musical selections, speeches by the two presi- dents for the year, and an address from Miss Eliza- beth Demaree. Gifts were presented to both Mar- garet Null and Betty Daniels. the two outgoing club prexys. Finally on June 3, the Philalethians rounded out a very successful year with a breakfast at Foster Park, which served as the final get-together for all Philo seniors. 'iwhite and gold, we're all for you -the typical motto suggestive of all true Philalethian girls. With this very patriotic theme serving as a keynote throughout the year, the Philalethian year has been one of success and one which will long be remem- bered by all Philo girls, not only because of the pleasure-giving events of the fun-filled year, but also because of the actual literary achievement and pro- gress that was made through the careful planning of the faculty adviser, Miss Demaree.

The paper has grown in those sixteen years from five-colums wide, eigh- teen inches long to sev- en-columns wide, twen- ty-two inches long. W h e n the paper launched its first issue of 1938, Eleanor Vesey was general manager and remained in that position one entire se- mester. The staff mem- bers serving under her were Betty Daniels and Margery Rapp, co-man- aging editorsg Bruce Bradbury, news editor, Margaret Gross, editorial page editor, Julia Ann Smith, business manager, Virginia Goeglein, circu- lation manager: and Lora Lee Montgomery, adver- tising manager. .---sw-vs -. On September 9 honors began coming in, when the South Side Times won hrst place in its class for schools with an enrollment of 1500 or more students in the state high school journalism contest sponsored by the Indiana University chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, national honorary and professional journalistic society. An important change was made in the staff on September 13, when Betty Daniels was made business adviser, and Helen Banks put in her place as co- managing editor with Nlargery Rapp. News of another award for the Archer publication was received September 14. The paper had again received the Quill and Scroll International Award, which is rating above first place. The Times received first place in headlines, make-up, advertising, news, the leads and general content, features, the interest and originality, proof-reading, editorial page, and kind of type used in the printing of the paper. On the judges sheet, the following comment appeared, The Times is truly an honor paper in all respects. Betty Daniels was again shifted in position on 24 Front Row: Bonsib, Dyer, V. Goeglein, B.

Since Julia Ann Smith, business mana- ger, had been changed to editorial page editor, Betty was made business manager. On October 24 the Tiny Times, a miniature edi- tion of the regular school paper, was edited by Elea- nor Vesey. These were sold to the parents at the annual Back-To-School Night. As a proof of the exellent work the staff could do, a twelve-page Education Issue was published November 3. which included a hobby page, a safety page, an Armistice page, and two fashion pages. The students in charge of the various pages were Jean- ette Warren, Dorothy Gore, Dorothy Bloemker, Doris Williams, and Bob Robinson. Bruce Bradbury, junior, brought home the bacon two days later by winning first place in the editorial division and honorable mention in the feature writing division of the East Central Section of the Quill and Scroll contest. That potluck of potlucksf' the first one of the semester, was held on November 14. How could any- one forget itll That masterpiece of Betty Neeb and Bruce Bradbury was presented at this event. The title of the skit was Vesey the Times Staff at Work, and it was a humorous portrayal of the hard work spent in putting out the big issue. THE TOTEM 1939 When the new semester started, Betty Daniels was chosen by Miss Harvey as the next general manager. Several other changes were also made. Betty Neeb was named editorial page editor, Lora Lee Montgom- ery, business managerg and john Bonsib, advertising manager. Eleanor Vesey acted as student adviser, while the rest of the major staff remained the same. On january 23, it was announced that South Side had come out on top over North Side in the contest for the Circulation Cup, which is awarded to the school that has the larger percentage of subscrip- tions. The cup was won by the Archers with a three percent margin. Then the paper again was honored when Bruce Bradbury and john Bonsib swept major honors in the Quill and Scroll national news judgment and ad writing contests. Bruce was proclaimed one of the contests' ten national winners, while John received honorable mention in the East Central States division in the advertising group. A bronze creative writing key was awarded Bruce for his achievement. Many new pieces of furniture facilitated work in the Times Room this past year. The most outstand- ing ones were four of the newest noiseless type- writers. The room also received three new all-metal desks and eight sturdy metal chairs. And to help the appearance of the room, a series of twelve murals depicting potlucks, writing, make-up, linotyping, and printing were posted on the walls. They were done by Miss Blanche Hutto's art classes. Within one week's time in April, two addi- tional honors came to the Times. At the jour- nalism Field Day at Butler University April 15, South Side's school paper received the gold cup for having the best p a p e r in the state among schools having an enrollment of more than 1,000. A bus load of staff members at- tend the meetings there. D. Gerig, B. Gunzenhauser. C. Whittern, M. Harvill. On April 19 word was received from the Na- tional Scholastic Press Association that the South Side Times had again been rated an All-American paper be- cause of its general ex- cellence in all matters pertaining to a high school paper. The Times staff was greatly aided in its work this year through the remodeling of the building which provided the pub- lications with larger quarters. The new Times room consists of half of its old room in 18 fthe other half being added to the press roomj, and all of room 16. The space, then, was increased 50 per cent. High powered lights to lessen eye strain were also in- stalled. In one corner of the publications room, a Totem office was built by erecting a glass-and-wood parti- tion around a space large enough to provide ade- quate quarters for the yearbook workers. The facilities in the press room was added to through the purchase of a large Miehle press and another Gordon press for job work. Other smaller equipment was also added to the School Press, and the lighting system was improved. The result was that the job of printing The Times and producing other work for the school system was greatly fa- cilitated. The Times put out its usual number of special editions this year. The completion of the school gave opportunity to tell about the new features and added facilities. American Education Week was again observed with twelve pages. The joke issue came out just after the Christmas vacation to cheer up the first day of school. The April Fool issue gave the staff a few jittery days as they hid out after perpetrating libel against sundry respectable persons. The staff cooperated with the other two high schools in issuing a Z0-page Tournament News. Front Row: Cwumpper, M. Mitchell, B. Riethmiller, Magley, B. Brooks, K. Gross. Second Row: Roose, D.

Booster members not only believe in it, but they do something about it! The colorful trim- mings that delight your eye at the games, the ice cream, candy, salty pop-corn, and coca-cola that tickle your tonsils, and the organized yelling that strains your lungs-behind all these benefits is a club whose motto, constitution, and by-laws are ex- pressed in one word-service. Twelve years ago the Booster Club was organized by Miss Rowena Harvey, Miss Mary Helen Ley, Nliss Millicent Work, Mr. Ora Davis, Mr. Roland Schafer, and Mr. Herman Makey. As the name suggests, the purpose of this club is to boost all school activities. The club is divided into three divisions: Concessions, decorations, and yell leaders, each of which is headed by a faculty adviser. The concessions are under the leadership of Miss Nell Covalt and Miss Mary Pocock. There are twenty boys and girls working in this department. From all appearances, they could develop into lusty yell- leaders, as they hawk their edible wares. Miss Blanche Hutto directs the decorating section. Be- sides making decorations for both the football and basketball games, the fourteen boosters in this divi- sion are very important factors in the preparations for the Lettermen and the National Honor Society Banquets. The snowy backgrounds, depicting the winter sports, which were displayed for the benefit of a meeting of the Par- ent-Teachers, were or- ganized by this band of artists. The third divi- sion, that division head- ed by Mr. Albert Heine, is the noisiest one of the group. But, that's the idea. Naturally the eight yell leaders try to live up to their reputation by turning into composers as they continually orig- inate yells and songs that are the very essence of our school spirit. B, Lampton, Dyer. The one person, how- ever, who has the huge job of over-seeing these activities and keeping them always in the pub- lic eye, is Miss Rowena Harvey. All of this re- sponsibility falls into her 26 lap, because she is chairman and general adviser of the whole club. The Booster Club buys many things for the school for which there is no other fund. Thus, the aforementioned activities are not the only important ones of this club of boosters. They have purchased new, green uniforms of a cheerful hue for the cheer leaders. No doubt this is the fact that accounts for the vim and vigor with which they pursued, with great diligence, their noisy duties. Accompanying the new suits were megaphones of a superior make. The club also bought a rifle, and songbooks. They likewise pay for athletic signs and for the upkeep of the yell leaders, suits. We can readily see that the Boosters are apparently the only persons who are in no need of boosting. South Side's peppy cheer leaders, who are seen at each game in their snappy green and white suits, are Charles Haugk, Bob Crankshaw, Edgar Kettler, John Magley, Bud Lampton, Sam Hite, and Tom Gall- meyer. With all the talk of having good school spirit, these boys have taken it upon themselves to see that South Side does have it and uses it purposefully. The Booster Club also paints the home game schedule at the south .end of the stadium each year. They also help to improve the looks of the stadium by erecting huge poles with streamers at the top at eight points around the stadium wall before each game. During the state tournament 500 pom-poms were distributed by the Booster Club members. Front Row: M. Dyer, B. Crankshaw, E. Kettler, S. Hire, C. Haugk, Mr. Heine, Magley, Second Row: D. Hirschey, L.

THE 'EOTEM 1939 HI-W5 FIRE IIIISE B095 By RICHARD BUCHHOLZ To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Truly, a great purpose for a great club. The South Side Hi-Y Club is one of the oldest yet also one of the youngest clubs in South Sideg old in that it began in the early days of the school, young in that it has been recently reorganized. Un- der the leadership of Mr. Ward O. Gilbert, the I-li-Y has developed into one of the finest clubs in South Side. Presiding at the helm during the first semester was Richard Buchholz. Assisting him were Maurice Lehman, vice-president, Roger Neff, secretary, Jack Bostick, treasurer, Morton Nahrwold, Inter-Club Congress representativeg and Herbert Domer, ser- geant-at-arms. Affiliation with the state and national organization was the main objective of the Hi-Y. In order to ac- complish this, a new constitution had to be formed and adopted. Finally, through the persistent efforts of its members, a charter was obtained. Some of the activities of the first semester were a skating party, a wiener bake, and a swimming party. The success of the skating party was due to Max Magner, and the success of a pencil sale, which was held to finance the activities of the club, was due to Andy Bremer. Sponsoring a check-room service at the basketball games was a service inaugurated by the Hi-Y Club. The check-rooms at many of the Front Row: R. Buchholz, R. lVlcVay, O. Paul, M. Mitchell, B. Riethmiller, K. Erne, Bostick, M. Squires, B. Jones. Second Row: B. Shultz, E. Tigges, D. Olcott, F. Devlin, R. Neff, M. Nahrwolcl, M. Magner, Magley, Mr. Gilbert. Third Row: D. Aronhalt, D. Osgood, A. Bremer, C. Haugk, H. Domer, H. Miller, F. Peters, C. Jensen, A. Lichtenberg. T. P, ,B .. . after-game dances and other activities were also op- erated by the Hi-Y members. Early in the fall, Jack Bostick, Roger Neff, Rich- ard Buchholz, and Morton Nahrwold attended an Dfiicers' Retreat which was held at Camp Pottowat- omig and at the Older Boys' Conference held at Danville, Indiana, the Hi-Y was represented by Richard Buchholz, Andy Bremer, and Maurice Lehman. The second semester found the gavel changing hands, and Andy Bremer headed the group. He was assisted by Morton Nahrwold, vice-president, Aubrey Kellogg, secretary, John Magley, treasurer, Clayton Jensen, Inter-Club Congress representative, and Bill Riethmiller and Kenneth Erne, sergeant- at-arms. The main project which was sponsored during the second semester was the Best C1irl's Banquet, which was held on April l:ool's Day. Dick Aron- halt, John Magley, Andy Bremer, Max Magner, and Dick Buchholz were responsible for the success of this banquet. Each spring on Recognition Day, the Hi-Y Club awards a plaque to the best girl and boy citizens of the Senior Class. These are chosen by the fac- ulty. This is a project through which the Hi-Y tries to promote higher ideals in South Side students. Hi-Y members believe in the slogan, Don't wait to be a great man, be a great boyf' To be a great boy. they believe a boy should have a proper balance of the right kind of work and right kind of play. The net result of this character and body building pro- gram seems to be rather good, for as a repre- sentative group of high school students, I-li-Y members are as fine a bunch of boys as can be found anywhere. Meetings each Thurs- day night at the Y. M. C. A., the Hi-Y tries to promote clean scholar- ship, clean character, clean sports, and clean speech. With this as its slogan. the Hi-Y has merited a reputation un- naralleled in South Side High School. 27 THE TOTEM 1939 SURE CURE FOR lllIlI'llIERII'lG lllITS By BETTY KINLEY .... so if a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematicsg for in demonstration, if his wit be called away never so little, he must begin again, wrote Francis Bacon. With this advice in mind, with an appreciation of the many other bene- fits obtained from the study of mathematics, and with a realization that mathematics is more inter- estingly studied and less easily forgotten when ap- plied to science, the Math-Science Club was or- ganized. Ir is one club which seems to have found the ideal mixture of education and recreation, avoid- ing dullness on one hand and frivolity on the other. The membership of the Math-Science Club is made up chiefly of students majoring in mathe- matics and science. The clubis programs are given by students and people who are interested in or working in the fields of science and math. Several speakers were guests at the Math-Science meetings during the semesters. Mr. Otto Gumpper, assistant city engineer in Fort Wayne, gave a talk on the uRelation of Mathematics to Engineering. Mr. Donald Post, now assistant meteorologist in Fort Wayne, who was recently associated with New York Air Post as a meteorologist, discussed Practical Ap- plication of Mathematics and Meteorology to Avia- tion. At another meeting, Mr. O. M. Leonard, as- sociated with Charles W. Cole Engineering Coin- pany, spoke on the sci- entific aspects of the sewage plant in Fort Wayne. Mr. Louis Hull, a teacher of physics, brought to one of the meetings the telescope he had made. He told about the different parts of the telescope and how it was con- structed. Ar this meet- ing the members went Moon Gazingn and saw some of the amaz- ing secrets of the moon and planets. Sound pic- tures, on The Work of Rivers, Oxidation and Reductionf' and Molecular Theory of Matter , were shown at one of the meetings. At one of the meet- ings during the semes- ter four senior members demonstrated some of 28 their scientific experiments. A series of chemistry experiments was given by Beth Ellen Chadwick, Frieda Schubert, Eugene Schmidt, and Henry Vel- koff. One of the events of the fall semester was the I-Ialloween Party. This party brought many of the members in their old-fashioned and funny costumes. In the spring the club held a picnic at Foster Park. The supervisors for the Math-Science Club are Miss George Anna Hodgson, Miss Adelaide Fiedler, Mr. Elna Gould, and Mr. Lloyd Whelan. The club's nobility for the fall semester were: Kenneth Warren, presidentg Jean Fortriede, vice- presidentg Gwen Dewees, secretary, James Craig, treasurer. The ones chosen for the spring semester were: James Craig, presidentg Maurine Seibert, vice- presidentg Eugene Tigges, treasurer, Emilou Allen- dorph, secretary. Math-Science has the distinction of being one of the oldest clubs in South Sideg it was founded in the fall of 1922. It has always had among its membership the best mathematics students and the best science students of the school. Former members have left school to do excellent work in various fields of science. All in all, the members feel that they learn a great deal and have a lot of genuine pleasure besides. Front Row: Miss Fiedler, R. LeFever, I, Schultz, Smith. Shinnick, Korte, Fortriede, Bowen, Nl. L.

The purpose of this foreign language club is to increase the student,s knowledge of France and the French people, to acquaint him with the history, literature, folk-lore, and customs of the peopleg and to give him an opportunity to prac- tice speaking French through games and songs. A successful skate, Christmas party, potluck, initi- ation, and spring picnic mark the high-lights of the French Club year. The skate and initiation fee con- stitute the clubis sole source of revenue. Each year outstanding club members are awarded pins purchased through the club treasury. The activ- ity of a member in the programs and social events of the club is determined by a point system. The specified number of points may be earned by attend- ing meetings regularly, by being an officer, by being on a program, by being a chairman or a member of a committee, by winning a game, or by performing some other service for the club.

Front Row: Virts, B. lVIcNulty, M. Loomis, E, Kelso, E. Allendorph, E. McKee, D. Baihle, Mr. Makey. Second Row: B. Riethmiller, C. Lichtenberg, V. Connett, C. Emerick, M. Emerick, VU. Lageman, D.

The purpose of parliamentary procedure is not to complicate things but to simplify them, not to give sl-:illful politicians an unjust advantage but to protect other members against unfair tactics, not to delay or hinder the transaction of business but to see that all business is handled swiftly, efhciently, and fairly. The Forum Club, originally called the Parliamen- tary Club, owes its founding to Mr. Herman Makey, the present faculty adviser. For many years, he has realized the great need for parliamentary procedure. In the fall of 1936, he, with a group of students, started the Parliamentary Club, however, in 1937 the name was changed to the Forum Club. The officers for the fall semester were: President, Sarah Jane Makeyg vice-president, Williain Riethmillerg secre- tary, Emilou Allendorphg Inter-Club Congress rep- resentative, Dick Weaverg parliainentarian, Allison Arnoldg point recorder, Wilma Lageman. The presi- dent for the spring semester was Wilma Lagemang vice-president, Velma Connettg secretary, Richard Wfeaverg point recorder, Sarah Jane Makeyg Inter- Club Congress representative, Emilou Allendorphg parliamentarian, William Riethmiller. THE TOTEM 1939 TElITOI'lIC TOI'lGlIE-TIUISTEHS By MARY MELCHING Whether we agree with the beliefs and activities of the present rulers of Germany or not, all of us must admit that German is an important language. During the World War the study of German was discon- tinued in many American schools because of the then-current hatred of Germany. This was a mistake, as people later came to realize. A large part of the finest people in our country have German blood, German culture has its share in the culture we call Americanism, German literature is a truly great lit- erature, and the German language is one of the most versatile, most expressive languages ever spoken.

That is why the members of the German club are en- thusiastic over their opportunity to further their study of German. The German Club, after eight years of successful and interesting activity, is now one of the outstand- ing clubs in our school. The purpose of the club is to establish a better knowledge of the German peo- ple, their customs, music, and conversation. Programs have been given describing the kinds of food eaten by the German people, the style of cloth- ing worn, and the beautiful scenery. The members were also acquainted with German writers, musicians. artists, and the important events that have trans- pired in modern Germany. Some of the musicians whom they have discussed were Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, Wagner, and Mozart. There were several films shown of the physical geography of Germany. The main events of the year were the Christmas party, held a week before Christmas, and the wiener bake and picnic held in the fall and spring. Miss Clara Schmidt is the adviser. EIICH ll 600D 5C0lIT I'l0 ll0lIBT By DOROTHY BLOEMKER The present Senior Girl Scout troop was organized in January, 1937, by Miss Dorothy Mugler. How- ever, Mrs. M. Purcell, leader, and Mrs. G. T. Roberts, assistant leader, took charge of this troop in September, 1938. The program during the fall semester was built around photography. One meeting was given over to Mrs. Sheldon Hine, who told of and showed pic- tures of her recent trip west. Taking silhouettes was the main feature of another interesting meeting. On another occasion the girls visited The Masterson Studio. For the second term Mrs. Walter Flaig took Mrs. Roberts place as the assistant leader. The program for this semester was divided into three parts: dra- matics, aviation, and clothing. The dramatics group studied drama and worked on a play which was pre- sented at a Mother-Daughter tea. The aviation girls studied the fundamentals of fiying and took a trip to the airport. The clothing group was interested in Front Row: M. Feichter, A. Hall, A. Harrod, T. Kraus- kopf, H.

Once every month . during the past year, the members of the So- cietas Romana or Latin Club turned back the clock of years and delved into the Private Life of the Romans. To carry out this theme, the meetings of the year have dealt with dif- ferent phases of Roman life. Each meeting was directed by a previous- ly-chosen g r o u p of members.

In charge of this affair were Rosella Koehler, food chairman, and Maurine Sei- hert, entertainment chairman. Ten freshman girls in the tunics of slaves served the meal, which was typically Roman and carried out the Roman motto, ab ovo ad malasv ffrom the egg to the applel. It was also the duty of the slaves to pass basins of water before each of the four courses. The meal proper was closed with a drinking bout during which the members, having been crowned with laurel wreaths, reveled in unfermented grape juice. The highlights of the program were a play about Augustus Caesar, entitled Tn Caesaris Gardenv and a Rom1n Water Carriers Dance. The play was presented by Wfilliam Newhard, Bruce Bradbury, Betty Daniels, and Roger McVayg and the dance was given by Joyce Cleaver, Eileen Eidner, Avel Bridges, and jane Englelqing. The subject of the January meeting was slaves and clients and was featured by an amusing skit representing a slave auction. For a later meeting on houses, the floor plan of a Roman house was 32 drawn on the floor and each room was explained in detail. A model Roman house, which was con- structed and furnished by some former students of the Latin department, was also exhibited. Plow the Romans dressed, how they spent their leisure time, and how they traveled furnished topics of dis- cussion for the other meetings of the year. The club's annual skating party was held January 27. This Skate of the Gods was planned by Velda Cppenlander and her committee, consisting of Jane Nathan, Dorothy Gore, -lane Bowen, Charles Beall, Roger McVay, and Ivan Truman. The purpose of Latin Club, which was formed December 16. 1932, is to enhance the cultural side of Latin study and enjoy social activities. Any person who has taken Latin for at least one sem- ester and whose grade is satisfactory is eligible for membership. Cfhcers this year were president. Gwen Deweesg vice-president, Maurine Seibertg secretary-treasurer, Jane Bowen, and Inter-Club Congress representa- tive, Jean Fortriede. Club advisers were Miss Gertrude Oppelt, Mrs. H. B. Carson, Mrs. Roy Welty, and Mr. Earl Sterner. THE TOTEM 1939 FOB CIIBEEHS - - III THE H0lTlE By MARJORIE FUNK Whether or not they believe in the saying that the woman's place is in the homef' these Worthy Home Makers take pride in their knowledge of the home and its management. With the coming of so many modern appli- ances, the girls have found their study of home economics quite different than mother had described to them. However, with electric- ity to cook, mix, and heat with, and with the valuable presence of the refrigerator, the ironer, the dish-washer, and incinerator, many jobs still require care- ful study and execution. The theme for the entire year was Home Life - Yesterday and Today, which exemp- lified the contrasts in past and present home management. Miss Martha Pittenger started the year's program by speaking to the newer members on the Value of Joining the Wo-Ho-Ma Clubf' On October 6, Miss Eleanor Smeltzly gave an in- teresting account of her trip to Australia, describing the home problems as they appear in Australia to- day, and how those homes differ from American homes. Following a similar idea, Miss Rehorst talked on the housing conditions in Labrador. On January 12 a banquet was held at the school as a farewell meeting for the January graduates. This annual affair was well attended by alumni who were guests at the affair. As a final meeting a pot- luck meeting was held in May. Here the juniors acted as hosts for the graduating seniors. Recogni- tion was made of those who had done outstanding work for the club. The officers for the first semester were Lois Gump- per, president, Louisa Haugk, vice-president, Eliza- beth Kelso, secretary, and Patty Lyman, Inter-Club Congress representative.

Mary Demetre as secretary, and Tompsie Hall as Inter-Club Congress representative. The club was begun with only a very few mem- bers, but the membership has steadily grown until today it exceeds eighty. The members of the Wo-Ho-Ma Club have truly been appreciative of their purpose. To train young women to be active and efficient leaders in the home, school, and communityg to furnish an opportunity for social life through organizationg and to promote more interest in home economics have been the con- stant aims of every Worthy Home Maker. There are a lot of girls now-a-days preparing for various careers-professional and business-which many of them will never achieve, since most girls sooner or later marry. On the other hand, there are a very few girls seriously preparing for the career which most of them will eventually pursue-that of being a housewife. A modern housewife has a diiii- cult and responsible position, and well-trained, su- perior wives, mothers, and managers of families are to be valued. Wo-Ho-Ma girls believe that it is more worthwhile and practical, and even more enjoyable, to prepare for the career that most of them will fol- low after all. 33 THE TOTEM 1939 IUHV 0F C0llR5E llIE'RE 'I GIRLS By DOROTHY GERDOM So-Si-Y is the club in ' South Side High School which was formed to fur- A ther the Christian quali- ties of its members.

The advisers at the present time are Miss Beulah Rine- hart, Miss Hazel Miller, Miss Eleanor Smeltzly, and Mrs. Howard Carson. So-Si-Y is always ready for service. This year the girls hemmed towels for the clubs to use in the kitchenette in the Greeley Room. They also hemmed some for the Needle Work Guild. During the foot- ball season, featherettes were sold, and during the spring semester, South Side stationary was sold. Valentines and scrap books were made and sent to various institutions. Suit-cases, which were filled with necessary articles, were sent to a foreign country. The theme used for the programs in the fall sem- ester was China.,' The programs dealt with dif- ferent phases of China, such as the occupations, festivals, personalities, recreations, and customs. The girls who headed the club were, Velma Con- nett, president, Beth Ellen Chadwick, vice-president, Margery Price, secretary, Dorothy Bloemker, treas- urer, Frieda Schubert, social chairman, Audrey Jeffries, service chairman, Kathryn Boerger, mem- bership and publicity chairman, Dorothy Amstutz, Inter-Club Congress representative, Ruth Bade and Mildred Brett, music chairmen, Mildred Franz and Margaret Wiles, recorders.

Some dealt with friends, the church. spring styles, and hobbies. An adventure with mother, a Mother- Daughter Tea, was the main attraction during the month of May. During this semester, Margery Price held the gavel, she was assisted by Betty Rose, Dor- othy Bloemker kept account of the minutes, and Mary Emily Scibt acted as treasurer, and Dorothy Gerdom was Inter-Club Congress representative. Heading the following committees were, social, Vir- ginia Menze, service. Dorothy Amstutz, member- ship and publicity, Ruth Ellison, music, Rosella Koehler, and card-keeper, Mildred Franz. During the first semester of membership the emphasis is placed upon learning the Girl Reserve way of living. The girl has meetings with her spon- sor, with the Y. YV. C. A. secretary, and with Miss Pittenger. She learns the code and the Girl Reserve song. During the second semester, she learns to do by doing. She learns home responsibility, service for the club. and service for the school. Tn the third semester, emphasis is placed upon service for the community and attendance at church. She is widen- ing her horizon. In the last semester, world fellow- ship is emphasized. The Ring Circle Meetings, which are held once a month at the Y. W. C. A.. are for girls who have served as a Girl Reserve for three semesters. When THE TOTEM 1939 one has attended five of these meetings she receives a Girl Reserve pin. The So-Si-Y Club also managed the sale of senior name cards before commencement. Three hundred persons ordered their cards through this club, a means which serves as an excellent source of revenue. Degrees are awarded every year to those deserv- ing of the awards. The first degree can be obtained by qualifying as a Girl Reserve member who has been outstanding one semester and who has paid her dues and has attended at least five meetings. The second degree is awarded to those members who have been outstanding for two terms and in addition have helped plan and execute a program, taken part in two community service projects, a service to the school. and two services to the club. The qualifications for triple triangle degree are iden- tical with those of the second degree. The outstand- ing girls who have won these awards this year are Marjorie Price, Marion Owens, Beth Ellen Chad- wick, Ruth Gerber, and Helen Forker. With merits many and virtues high, this worth- while organization continues to forge ahead, creat- ing a new world, making it a better place in which to live. One of the annual functions of the So-Si-Y Club which has become an event to look forward to is the tournament dance given in the North Side High School cafeteria after the sectional basketball tour- ney. The Girl Reserve Clubs of the three Fort W a y n e high schools sponsor this dance joint- ly. Nearly two hundred couples attended the dance this year. Hirshey. Douglas. On May 9, the semi- annual faculty tea was given by the club. Each club member took as her guest, one of the school's teachers.

Plans are usually made for the tournament dance, the Girl Re- serve banquet which is held at the Y. W. C. A., the conference week held annually at Camp Yarnelle, and the joint meeting of the So-Si-Y groups with the school Hi-Y boys' club. At the latter meeting, the topic of the meeting is usually a panel discussion of youth and their problems. A typical meeting of the So-Si-Y Club runs as fol- lows: After a few minutes of singing, the president calls the meeting to order, the secretary's and treas- urer's reports are given and the regular business of the club is introduced. This business may consist of the hearing of the appropriate action on the reports of committees, such as the service committee, the social committee, and the publicity and membership committees and consideration of club projects, such as the Tournament Dance and the Faculty Tea. The program usually consists of the talk by an outside speaker, such as a book review or an account of the new spring and summer styles, for some meetings the club members give talks and skits. The So-Si-Y Club truly merits high in its standards and its morals. Only the most ardent supporters of service, friendship, knowledge, and dependability will find this club interesting in its program. Many fine deeds which were accomplished this past year were due to the willingness and cooperativeness of the members. The So-Si-Y Club can really be accredited with these accomplishments and, what's more, will al- ways live on to carry on more of these desirable deeds. Front Row: I. Mick. M. Jackson, M. Wiles, H.

Yet this is not just one individual's ultra-exalted opinion of himself but a common feeling easily explained. A marionetter creates from his own mind and with his own hands the creatures out of paper and wood he desires, he sets these people down into a world of his own making, he directs with strings their every ac- tion, he expresses their very thoughts with his own lips, and from his lofty heaven controls their desti- nies and looks down with sympathy upon his frail creations as they bob along through life. The purpose of this club is to teach its members how to construct and operate puppets and how to write or rewrite plays suitable for the marionette stage. In doing this it is teaching many different crafts, including art, sewing, manual training, elec- tricity, dramatics, and the writing of plays. The club's first production, Little Mr. Pickle- nosef, was given at the sophomore party in 1934. The second play uDickens' Christmas Carol was given in 1935. The next year the club sponsored a marionette show which was a Pall Mall Produc- tion. Proceeds from this production were used for the making of marionettes Baba, a modern fairy tale, 1938 Cinderella was given Along with the making Chu Chin Chow or Ali was then produced. In of marionettes the pup- lll00DElI LEGS peteers manage to have some extra activities. In the fall of the year there is a picnic or a wiener bake. In the spring there is a potluck. This potluck is given just before the annual production so that the extra time can be used for completing the show. Last Christmas the club had a Christmas party at the home of one of the members. The club workshop is located in the basement of our school. This workshop contains a stage, a table, some benches, a cupboard, and all tools needed in construction of puppets. To brighten this work- shop up a bit the club calcimined the walls and Kenny Scott, a former member of the club, painted large blue marionettes and flowers on the walls. The club is divided into four groups. These groups are under the direction of Janice Dyer, Marjorie Dyer, Bill Morgan, and Lillian Sherbondy. These groups give short skits at each meeting which allows each member to have some individual in- struction. Oiihcers of the club were Nadine Mueller, presi- dent: Bill Morgan, vice-president, Lillian Sherbondy. secretary-treasurer, and Wilma Carrier, Inter-Club Congress representative. The club's aim for the future is to give bigger and better plays, teach every member just how every- thing connected with marionettes is done, and to show each and everyone a good time. A person engaged in puppetteering must nec- Front Row: D. Dennis, M. Dyer, Dyer, N. Mueller, Miss Magley, K. Beckman, M. Feller, A. Heller. essarily become master Second Row: V. Hill, B. Bowman, XV.

To make the marionettes a n d t h e stage settings, he must , become a woodworker, 36 a sculptor, an artist, a mechanic, a designer of clothes, a tailor, and a Griselda for patience. To prepare the plays for presentation, he must become a play- wright, a rewriter of plays, a stage set cle- signer, and a stage pro- ducer and director. To put on a performance, he must become a most versatile impersonator, a skillful operator of the victrola for musical setting, and, above all, an able manipulator of marionettes. . ' w THE TOTEM 1939 THE? FIIID IIIHIIT ll lll0HDSllIORTH By RUTH BADE Three E's, technically known as the Embryo Eng- lish Etymologists, was organized in February, 1937. Several students who shared Miss Kiefer's interest in word study came to her and asked to organize a club for this purpose. Thus, with Miss Kiefer as the adviser, the club was organized with one purpose in mind. It was to be a study group to investigate the held of English ety- mology and to note interesting things about English words. Several benefits are hoped to be derived from this study: first, an increase in vocabulary, second, bet- ter spelling, third, better pronunciation, fourth, a pride in our mother tongue, fifth, a better under- standing of how the English language developed: sixth, wholesome fun, and seventh, an increased in- terest in the study of foreign languages. In order to join Three E's, a student must have two years of foreign language study and a B grade in English. Generally this group aims to concentrate on one phase of etymological study each semester. Some of these phases which have been followed in the past are the Anglo-Saxon background, the Greek back- ground, and the Scandinavian influence. In the fall semester of this year, the study concerned the Anglo- Saxon background and changes in the language as the Latin influence came in through the French. The spring semester was devoted chiefly to the study of well-known Greek and sponsored a very worth-while project. Eighty slides on word origin were obtained from the Merriam Dictionary Company. Words originating from Greek, Latin, Anglo-Saxon, Old French, and East Indian were included. A lecture accompanied the showing of these slides. Twelve classes, including classes in English, Latin and French, were privileged to see these slides and hear the explanation of the word origins. There are several features that distinguish this group from most clubs. It has no constitution, no dues, and no officers. The meetings are held at the homes of the members. Instead of having a program chairman, each host or hostess directs the pro- gram. Two social affairs are held during the year.

Critics are hailing its success far and wide. One well-known critic has presented a resume of the season in his own distinct novel way. Here it is: S. P. C.-Student Players Are We Directed by Miss Marjory Suter. Time: 1938-1939. Place: Greeley Room and several other places. Act I: Under the supervision of the efficient leaders of S. P. C., a successful season was staged. These leaders were the ofiicers for the two semesters. Ar the October meeting the following officers for the fall semester were elected: William Ciernand, presi- dent: Jeanette Warren, vice-president: Donna Lou Foutz, scretary-treasurer: Kenneth Warren, Inter- Club Congress representative. Bruce Bradbury, point recorder, was appointed by Miss Suter. Offi- cers of the spring semester were elected at the Feb- ruary meeting. They are Bill Newhard, presidentg Lois Rea, vice-president: Eleanor Vesey, secretary- treasurer. Act TI: A one-act play was the main event of each monthly meeting. The October group of actors initiated the new stage with the play, A Woman's a Woman For A' Thatn under the direction of Phyllis Geller and Ken- neth Warren. Those in the cast were Beverly Grifiith, Jeannette War- ren, Donna Lou Foutz, Bob Safer, and William Gernand. The second play, The Fourth Mrs. Phillips, was presented by the November thes- pians under the direc- tion of Margaret Null. The cast included June McAlister, Bruce Brad- bury, Helen Wiehe, Virginia Shidler, Jim Brooks, Paul Cieiser, and the director. The Dear Departed direct- ed by Margaret Gross was presented by the December players, Frie- da Schubert, Bill New- hard, Rafilda Laudadio, Lois Rea, Bob Brooks, and Jim Brooks. Prop- erty managers were Ha- 38 zel Perry and Phyllis Fackler. Committees for the remaining meetings were appointed by Miss Suter. The chairmen of these meetings were June and Joyce McAlister, Bruce Bradbury, Betty Daniels, Donna Lou Foutz, potluck, June McAlister and Bruce Bradbury, June initiation. The last meeting was a combined outdoor picnic of the three public high schools. Act HI: The club participated in a number of special events to complete the session. At the formal initiation of the new members of the three high schools at North Side High School, the South Side presentation won first place. Individual winners were Kolman Gross and Constance Hirschey. Formal in- itiation was held at Central High School on the fol- lowing Sunday. In preparation for the Senior Play, which was the main event of the year, two one-act plays were presented by the seniors of the club. The all-boy cast of the play The Medicine Show in- cluded William Gernand, Bill Newhard, Joe Bex, and Kenneth Warren. The other play that was presented by an all-girl cast was Culture The cast included Eleanor Vesey, Dorothy Rohrbach, Kitty Clinard, Donna Lou Foutz, Margaret Gross, Helen Wiehe, Rafilda Laudadio, Lilias Patton, Beverly C1riH'ith, Dorothy Karnap, Margie Quackenbush, Lois Rea, Elaine Bernstein, and Reva Foster.

PUZZLIIIG OVER PDLITICIIL PRDBLEIIIS By BETTY DANIELS Undertaking one of the greatest projects of the school year-the formation of an Indiana Student Forum--the Social Science Club has been the center of much state and nation-wide attention this year. After spreading the news about the state that they were endeavoring to establish a permanent social studies' league for high school students, this local group of enthusiastic social scientists invited other groups throughout the state to attend the first con- vention of this newlv organized league. This con- vention, the climax of the club year, was held April 21 here in South Side, it was attended by delega- tions from nearly thirty high schools in sympathy with the Forum's purpose which is to stimulate in- terest in, and afford an adequate outlet for existing interest in current and continuing social, political, and economic problems particularly on the part of high school students. The feature topics of four discussion panels were Housiitg, Health, Foreign Relations, and Problems of Youth. Students actively participated in the dis- cussions after certain ones of the groups introduced the subjects in short speeches. Considerable thought was directed and inspired by the addresses of the feature speakers of the dayg these were Mr. Walter Meyer, Director of Civic Education Service, from Washington, D. C., Mr. John Essig, Executive Secretary of the Fort Wayne Housing Authority, Front Row: A. Kellogg, P. Geller, L. Kowalski, M. Trout, Miss Smeltzly, M. L, Kixmiller, B. A. Griffith, B. Riethmiller.

Dr. Thurman Rice, of the Indiana Medical As- sociation, and Dr. Andrew Cordier of Manchester College. Mr. Wilson and Miss Smeltzly formed South Side,s Social Science Club in 1932 with the purpose of furnishing students an opportunity to discuss pub- lic questions outside of class and of developing abil- ity to understand modern government. Juniors and seniors who are eager to acquire a greater knowledge of civics and economics than they can acquire in class make up the group,s membership. Besides beginning their Indiana Student Forum project, the group participated in other worthwhile undertakings. It sponsored a magazine campaign to help defray the expenses of the Visual Education Department and the Armistice Day program which was given over the public address system on Novem- ber llg at its meetings the members discussed such topics as How Can America Stay Out of War?', Propaganda, Should the United States join the League of Nations? , 'eWhat Would Be America's Home Policy in the Event of a World War?,' An outstanding discussion was held on the topic of the Fort Wayne Housing Project at which Mr. William B. F. Hall, President of the Fort Wayne Housing Authority, was the guest speaker. During the initial semester Eleanor Vesey wielded the gavel and Margery Rapp acted as her assistant. Helen Banks kept the records and the pecuniary matters in order, while Eugene Schmidt kept the club in order and Richard Buchholz rep- resented the group in the school congress. The spring term saw Eugene Schmidt, presi- dent, and Phyllis Geller as vice-president. Ruth Bacle was elected secre- tary-treasurer, but upon her resignation to ac- cept a position outside of school, Janice Dyer was elected to fill the position. Kenneth War- ren acted in the capac- ity of sergeant-at-arms, and Richard Buchholz was Inter-Club Con- gress representative. These social scientists should succeed in be- coming the finest citi- zens of tomorrow-our future leaders. 39 THE TOTEM 1939 IIO DUDE ILIRIIIIGLEHS THESE By VIRGINIA SHIDLER Listen, my children, and you shall hear of a season of fun, frolic, and fame with that club which is always voicing its action-Wranglers. With the leadership of Dick Garton, president, Jeanne Gumpper, vice- presidentg June McAlis- ter, secretaryg T o m Gallmeyer, treasurer, Bob Robinson, parlia- mentariang and Edgar Kettler and John Bon- sib as sergeants, the wrangling wizards en- joyed a fall semester of happiness and accom- plishment. The opening event of the season was the wie- ner bake at Foster Park, at which a treasure hunt was the main event. Then in November with nineteen entries, a very successful extemporane- ous contest was held. Those who came out on top were Bob Robinson, first place winner, Bob Safer, second, Tom Gallmeyer, third, Jim Murphy, fourth, and Eddie Reeves, fifth. On December 19, an oratorical declamation con- test became the issue, and because there were thirty- seven entries, the contest was divided into three di- visions-Sophomore, Junior, and Senior. In the finals held at Wranglers, the results were: Sopho- more winners-Bob Safer, first, Bob Robinson, sec- ond, Harold Martin, third, Junior winners-June McAlister, first, Joyce McAlister, second, and Jim Murphy, third, Senior winners-Bill Newhard, first, Dick Buchholz, second, and a tie between Helen Wiehe and Eleanor Vesey for third place. The January event was news, for the club adviser, Mrs. Rieke, launched a grand new idea-that of hav- ing a dramatic declamation contest. The results were Bob Safer and Helen Wiehe tied for first place, Margaret Gross and Carolyn Lichtenberg tied for second, and Bruce Bradbury was third placer. Officers for the spring semester included Eddie Reeves, president, Anna Lou Kowalski, vice-presi- dent, Jeanette Warren, secretary, Dick Buchholz, treasurer, Helen Banks, parliamentariang Bill Sie- bold and Sam Bacon, sergeantsg and Bill Riethmiller, Inter-Club Congress representative.

Decorations were carried out in motifs of sail boats, treasure chests, moons, and palm trees. In February, Wranglers tried something new in the way of an Invitational Speech Meet. There were one hundred and sixty entrants, fifty-six of whom were South Side students. Wranglers declamers won first and second places with I-Ielen Wiehe and Bob Safer, respectively, in the dramatic division. A humorous declamation contest was held in March with twenty entrants. Each semester, a rough and a formal initiation were held after a potluck supper. The conclusion of the year's events was the Wran- gler Iionor Banquet at which medals were awarded to those outstanding in speech work throughout the year. Awards, medals, and cups were officially pre- sented at that time. Every high school student should learn at one time or another, before he is very far along in life, how to make a public speech. Although most students, and for that matter most members of Wranglers Club, will never be great orators nor adopt public speaking as a profession, all of them will probably i Front Row: B. Brooks, L.

Pub- lic speaking does many things for the personal- ity of an individual. He gains greater conhdence for his daily contacts with other people, pub- lic speaking is one of the greatest aids in re- moving an inferiority complex. His conversa- tion becomes not only more sure but also more clear and interesting. At the same time he l e a r n s to recognize faults in other public speakers, and he, above all people, is not easily swayed by a demagogue or political spellbinder. THE TOTEM 1939 m Anyone who has lis- 0. H tened to many public speeches realizes that most people do not know how to make a good, interesting public address. The ordinary untrained speaker often fidgets with his hands or shifts his weight in an annoying rythm back and forth. He slurs over many words and ludicrously mis- pronounces others. He speaks too faintly or too loudly or in a dull i monotone which quick- ly puts his audience in the arms of Morpheus. Finally, he goes on and on until his audience hopes and prays for an end to the marathon. Therefore, Wranglers advocate more public speech training. And so, my children, we have reached the end of a brilliant and active season with one of the largest and most enjoyable clubs in school-may its future activities surge on to greater fun and fame.

This is the ques- tion which incessantly passes over the main desk of the library and at times it receives very queer answers. How- ever, whether it is an essay on ant eaters or merely the request for the loan of a ruler, the staff members willingly give their service with a smile. The library staff is made up of twenty-eight juniors and seniors who are under the guidance of Miss Emma Shoup. The staff tries its best to assist students with reference work and in any other way possible. Each member devotes at least two study pe- riods and one night after school to library work. A bronze letter L is awarded for one semester's work. After serv- ing two semesters, a member is entitled to a silver L, and on recognition day those who have served faithfully for two years receive a gold t'L.', The senior members of the library staff are Helen Banks, Betty Daniels, Janice Dyer, Dick Garton, Evelyn Kruse, Maurice Lehman, Max Magnet, Max Mitchell, Williain Newhard, Margaret Null, Velda Oppenlander, Kathleen Ramer, Margery Rapp, and Nancy Valiton. The list of the junior members is as follows: Mar- cia Allen, Emilou Allendorph, Laura Augspurger, Dick Dyke, Betty Ellingwood, Audrey Hall, Joyce ldarwood, Erma Jackson, I-lelen Karnap, Bill Rieth- miller, Elizabeth Rose, Dick Strasburg, Phyllis Tyn- dal, and Doris Xwilliams. E. Rose, D. Dyke. E. Allendorph, B. Newhard. Tyndall, M. Magner. The meetings of the Library Club are held the third Tuesday of each month at 4:15 o,clock in the library. The ofhcers for the first semester were Janice Dyer, president, Helen Banks, vice-president, Margery Rapp, secretary, Max Magner, sergeant-at- arms, Nancy Valiton, point recorder, Evelyn Kruse, Inter-club Congress representative. Although the principal idea of the club is to serve rhe other students of South Side, members manage to hnd time to have their fun. The first meeting in the fall was in the form of a wiener bake and rough initiation of new staff members. In November a book symposium was held and thirteen books were re- 42 Front Row: B.

The books selected by the staff were The Citadeli' by A. Cronin and The Code of the Woosters by P. G. Wodehouse. The December meeting was held in the form of a Christmas party. A humorous skit was presented and community singing was enjoyed. A game was then played, and each member received a gift. The new officers elected for the second semester were Max Magner, president, Bill Riethmiller, vice- president, Dick Garton, secretary, William Newhard, sergeant-at-arms, Kathleen Ramer, point recorder, Evelyn Kruse, Inter-Club Congress representative. Each semester the club tries to have one outside speaker. In the fall semester Miss Martha Pittenger gave a very interesting talk on books. During the second semester Miss Eleanor Smeltzly talked on Australia. The last meeting of the year was in the form of a farewell party for the seniors given by the juniors. Gratitude for their service was expressed, and a gift was presented to each one. The Library Club always has two standing com- mittees each semester. The book committee reports on different books each semester. The scrapbook committee maintains a scrapbook which contains all articles and pictures concerning different activities of the club and club members.

'lwe whistle while we work might well be the theme of Service Club members, for one may find the members cheerfully working in the athletic of- fices, in the library, in the offices of Miss Pittenger, Mr. Snider, and Mr. Flint, and for the various de- partments of South Side. Others are session room workers, locker, and Booster Club workers. To be eligible for membership in Service Club, a student must perform some actual daily duty. Service Club was founded in 1936 by Mr. A. Verne Flint. Ir has no executive committee, as it would be impractical because of the few meetings held each year. This year the club held two pot- lucks and a picnic. The potluck held in the fall semester was under the general chairmanship of Alma Korte. She was assisted by Ruth Bade, Ruth Kaiser, and Edna Volz. Highlights of the evening were a comedy skit given by Bill Reithmiller and Bruce Klotz and the community singing, which the faculty members enjoyed as much as the students. Ruth Kaiser was general chairman of the potluck held in the spring semester. Her assistants were Doris Siebold, program chairman, Eileen Hoffman, menu chairman, and Alma Korte, chairman of in- vitations. Donna Lou and Rozella Foutz were fea- tured at this supper, and the community singing was accompanied at the piano by Velma Leh- man. As a new feature of Service Club this year, a point system has been worked out. In the of- fice of Mr. Flint, a rec- ord is kept of the name of the student doing service work and the type of work that he is doing. Ar the end of a semester or at the end of the period of time for which a student serves, the teacher is re- quired to turn in an in- dividual report of the number of hours the student has worked and the total number of points earned. One point is given for each hour of service rend- ered. If work is given to a student to be done at home, two points are given for each hour of service at home. A bronze pin is awarded to the student who has earned six hundred points. These pins are awarded at the Service Recognition Assem- bly on Friday of Service Week. Official Service Week is held during the spring semester in order to acquaint South Side with the valuable work be- ing done by service workers. Much experience, including typing, shorthand, secretarial training, filing, recording, bookkeeping, and dictation, may be acquired through this club. These experiences may serve as recommendations in securing future positions. This club not only tends to afford many students a place or method of acquiring experience, but also tends to save the school system much expense. It is estimated that if all the work done by the students were done by contracted hired help, and annual ex- pense of over nine hundred dollars would ensue. Realizing that their services decrease the cost of managing the school, these Service Club members devote their time and energy to the above-mentioned jobs. The Service Club members accept their positions with the thought in mind that all derived profit will be for their own personal benefit, with no glory at- tached. Such an understanding is the distinguish- ing characteristic of a Service Club member. 43 THE TOTEM 1939 EIIT, DRIIIH, IIIID BE IIIEHIW By JANIE WEIR The More They Get Together the Happier They'll Be. Who? Why the 1500 Club members! And for a good reason, to be sure, because all of their meetings are in the form of potlucks which are outstanding because of the quantity of food and good programs. The first big turnout for the year of 1939 was a Wiener bake held at Foster Park October 14. The 1500 Club members from North Side also attended, supplying a real atmosphere since they were rival publication workers. The feuding continued as usual but amidst all the excitement the following officers were elected: Max Spencer, president, Bruce Brad- bury, vice-president, Betty Daniels, secretary, and Margery Rapp, treasurer. Miss Harvey has been the faculty adviser since the club started in 1925. Eleanor Vesey acted as general chairman for this meeting with Julia Ann Smith, Joan Hess, and Lora Lee Montgoniery assisting on her committee. i'Editorial Page was the theme for the potluck held December 19 in the cafeteria. Beverly Ann Griffith gave Wee Sketches of Big Peoplei' dedi- cated to Miss Harvey. In recognition of Miss Har- vey's grand leadership the club presented her with a Silex coffee maker. Miss Harvey then gave the Senior Synopsisf, She extended membership into Quill and Scroll to Joe Bex, Phyllis Geller, Ed Reeves, Frieda Schu- bert, Julia Ann Smith, and Eleanor Vesey.

Janice Dyer, acting as program chairman, presented community singing and two short plays which were enacted by guests from North Side and Central High Schools. Quill and Scroll members were announced at this meeting. The final meeting of the year was held May 15. The theme was Good News of 1939 ffront pagej. Helen Banks acted as chairman and Janice Dyer acted as program chairman. Nlembers of 1500 club that have gold jeweled pins are Betty Daniels, Bruce Bradbury, John Bonsib, Eleanor Vesey, Joe Bex, and Jean Fortriede. Such honors are given to students for the publica- tion work that they have done. When one has receiv- ed 1500 points he becomes a member of the 1500 Club. He receives a bronze pin at that time. When 3000 points have been acquired a silver pin is award- ed to the publications worker. For 5000 points he gets a gold pin, and hnally the gold jeweled for 10,000 points.

THE TOTEM1939 IIRCHEHS llIHO HBE IIRCHEBS By IRENE KIRK Robin Hood was fairly good, William Tell did pretty well, But for aiming high In all they try, The bowmen pictured Are Archers without peer. Striving to hit the bull's eye is the aim of every Archer. Until the fall of 1938, the Boys' Archery Club and the Girls' Archery Club were one. Nlr. Joe Plaskett, the adviser of both clubs, separ- ated the clubs because with too many in an organi- zation ir is difiicult to give opportunity to shoot. Ar every meeting the targets are set up and scores are kept to determine who will be eligible for letters. A letter S will be given to those persons making an average score of 5. It is very interesting to know that archery is per- haps the oldest sport in existence. The first book ever to be written concerning sports was Toxopholus, an account of archery as a sport. That powerful bow and arrow has changed from a destructive instrument of war to only an attractive piece of sporting equipment. Archery clubs are rapidly becoming popular over the United States. These Archers, realizing this sport to be one of clean, wholesome enjoyment and with the thought in mind of developing their skill, patience, and ac- curacy, have joined together to form a clicking group-a club of bows and arrows, which is truly significant of South Side, famed as the home of the Archers. The officers for the Girls' Archery Club during the fall semester were: President, Doris Hilbishg vice-president, secretary and treasurer, Vera Jane Wells, Inter- Club Congressman, LaVonia Spore. Dur- ing the spring semester Irene Kirk weiled the gavelg LaVerne Reed served as vice- presidentg Joan Roose and Mary Ellen Larimore were secretary and treasurerg LaVonia Spore again held the office of Inter-Club Congressman. The Boys' Archery elected Robert Henry as president, and Paul Herrman as secretary and treasurer. The boys compete with other clubs in different schools. Special meetings of the Archery Club are often held to give the members an opportunity to go deeper into the science of Archery. Nlr. Joe Plasket, the adviser, has shown the club how to make a strong bow string with several strands of shoe- makers, twine. This is done by twisting four strands of the twine together and then waxing the string thoroughly. The clubs have also been schooled in the repairing of arrows. Ar- rows have two colors of feathers, the brightest col- ored feather extends away from the right hand. The bows are made of yew wood and lemon wood. The bows are to be the same height as the person shoot- ing. The equipment for archery is called tackle. The tackle consists of the bow, arrows, arm-guard. finger-tabs, quiver, and a target. The target is three feet in diameter, with the outer white circle count- ing one pointg the black, threeg the blue, five, the red, seveng and the bull's eye or gold, nine points. The object of this type of club is not for money profits, but for the profit of the individual. The club was organized as a means of entertainment and pleasure of its members. These Archers who are archers have the distinc- tion of being members of one of the two clubs in the school which base their work on the study of weapons and skill in shooting. The practicality of archery is quite obvious. The members find archery not only a means of recreation, but also one way of attaining skill through physical coordination. Of the twenty- five members in the Archery Club, nineteen of them have constructed for themselves a complete set of archery equipment. The club has also built its own targets which look quite professional in appearance. During the warm spring months, the stadium is used as the shooting grounds, but in the winter months, specially constructed indoor targets are used. Front Row: Roose, L. Reed, M. V. Russ, D.

Organized in the spring of 1923. this club has maintained these high standards through- out the years of its ex- istence. Composed of only those boys who have earned letters through competing in varsity ath- letics, this club has had much to do with the pro- motion of higher ideals among the whole South Side student body. Son R Shimer Completing its six- teenth year as a repre- sentative group of grid- iron, hardwood, and cin- der path aspirants, the club again promoted many activities and services to the school. B, Braden. The guiding element of the club during the year was Carl Hall, presidentg LeRoy Cook, vice-presi- dentg Don Beery, secretary-treasurer, and Carl Hall and Tom Nloorehead, Inter-Club Congress repre- sentatives. These officers, under the advisership of Mr. A. Verne Flint. served the club faithfully and deserve a great deal of credit for this successful year. Two Lettermen's dances and a potluck were the main events of this year. Through the consistent efforts of its officers and members, these activities were promoted with a great deal of success. Swing- ing to the melodious strains of Sid Crosley at the second Lettermerfs dance was one of the featured high lights of the activities in the school. The Lettermen's Club was responsible for the after-game dances, for they were instrumental in bringing about these events. They also set the prec- edent of having the proceeds of these dances furnish equipment for the various club rooms. Each year the club does something to beautify the grounds which surround the school. Whether they plant shrubbery or trees, they always contri- bute something to the beauty of the school. This year again, they have upheld their high standards and have attributed to the school a great 46 Front Row: W. Steup, B. Klotz, A. Ferguson, D, Roth, D. Goshorn, L. Cook, E. Fergu- Second Row: D.

Saalfrank, deal of honor and service of which they are justi- fied in being proud. Sweating for these sweaters is no easy job, and once an athlete acquires enough points for a sweater, he feels his efforts have been aptly justified. The boys may earn points toward a varsity letter by com- peting either in basketball, football, traclc, tennis, golf, and being a student manager. To secure the first letter, one must earn at least 180 points and have eligible grades. During their four years here at South Side many athletical aspirants have earned as many as eight letters. An S is more than just a piece of clothg it repre- sents a great deal of achievement. An ambitious freshman enters South Side with the realization that an S is the symbol of the greatest athletic attain- ment. He has also been informed that there is some worlc connected with obtaining this prized emblem- how much work he does not yet fully realize. So, with high hopes, a gay attitude, and grim determina- tion, he 'tgoes out for a number of sports. He may even go out for all three varsity sports in his fresh- man year as some boys have done, but this is not advisable since a freshman has a hard enough time getting his ordinary academic work done without carrying a full sports program. However, some boys have gone out for all each year during their whole four years and have become some of South Side's really great athletes. THE TOTEM 1939 FHDIII THE GH0llI'lD III' By HENRY VELKOFF When the Airplane Club was originally organized, only 15 members had their names on the secretaryls book, but during the last two years, it has grown to a club of nearly thirty members. The club is very different from the standpoint that no formality other than conduct rules are exercised. The meetings of this club are held every other Wednesday in the gymnasium, where excellent space is provided for the flying of model airplanes. Endur- ance flight contests are held every second meeting. Sgfw. 'M x Front Row: Mr. Joe Plasket, H. Velkoff, R. Hawkins, B. Hodell. Second Row: F, Du Vffaldt, W. Wyneken, H. Hollenberg, N. Markoff. Third Row: A. Arnold, R. Taylor, Hodell, R. Haiiley. This is for the purpose of finding errors in the con- struction of the model airplanes and how the design may be improved upon. As a stimulus to the advancement of the quality of the models, a point system has been devised that offers outstanding members a letter S when they re- ceive ZOO points. Points are given for construction of a model, for efficiency of its flight, and for any extra labor the members may do. At the present time only two members, Robert Hawkins and Henry Vel- koff, have received a required ZOO points. Mr. Joe Plasket acts as the club adviser. The of- ficers for the spring semester were: President, Henry Velkoff, vice-president, Bob Hawkinsg secretary, Charles Wehmeierg point recorder, Bob Hodell. During the present trend towards air travel, the knowledge acquired in building and flying model air planes can be very applicable as a preface to a career of aeronautics. The demand for well learned students of the air is steadily growing, and perhaps these air-minded boys will carry on in the field of aviation for Fort Wayne, Indiana. Robert Hawkins has won several national awards with his perfect flying models, which include a charter membership in the National Amateur Aero- nautical Association. ILS. ll. III 5.5.H.S. III ILS. H.

A. was founded on the idea of promoting good fellowship among girls, and that is just what it does. They really live up to the initials, U. S. A., which stands for Unity, Service and Appreciation. The club is for Freshmen and Sophomores, and receives its inspiration from the Y. W. C. A., as do all Girl Reserve Clubs. The girls of this club strive to be of service to three different institutions, name- ly, the club, the school, and the community. Because the girls expect to be So-Si-Y girls in the future, they work for three degrees. Some of the requirements for the degrees are to be initiated, to pay dues, to attend two-thirds of the meetings, to be on one of the programs, to give service to the club, school and community, and to help on the ...- .- .1 Front Row: Mrs. Wfelty, M.

The boys' squads have shot in sixteen matches this year, winning six and tieing one. The girls have been matched against three other teams and have won twice. During the past season the varsity squad of the boys' club was accorded the highest rating of any high school rifle team in this state by being placed in the A division of the National matches.

The Boys' Rifle Club elected as their officers for the entire year: Robert Hageman, president, How- ard Ensley, vice-president, Max Kimble, secretary- treasurer, Russell Long, range officer, and Carl Goebel, executive adviser and Congress delegate. SUPER SCHIBBLER5 By IRENE KIRK The Quill and Scroll Society was organized in the year 1926 by a group of high school supervisors for the purpose of encouraging and rewarding in- dividual achievement in journalism. Quill and Scroll, the international honorary society for high school journalists, numbers over nineteen hundred chapters. These are located in nearly every state in the Union, Alaska, Canada. England, New Zealand, and China. Twenty thousand young jour- nalists from schools which are outstanding in this type of work wear the badge of this society. The members must be in the upper third of their class, be outstanding in the publication department, and have an outstanding character. The member must be approved by the international secretary-treasurer after being recommended by the supervisor. The work of the Quill and Scroll is to raise the standard and quality of high school journalism. No particular number of students is required to form a chapter. The international organization makes no requirements as to the activities of the local V -- . Y v -- --a Front Row: B. Bolyard, E. Hoffman, D. Dennis, B. Showalter, V. Berning, J. Dyer, P. Geller, N.

The South Side chapter construes membership in a purely honorary sense. To be eligible for a charter of the Quill and Scroll a high school must issue a newspaper or other pub- lication which has considerable merit. Those members of the Quill and Scroll who are not in the picture are julia Ann Smith, joe Bex, and Frieda Schubert. 49 THE TOTEM 1939 D0lI'lG THIIIGS 0II II GHIIIID SCIILE By RUTH BADE Scene: Room 50, South Side High School. Time: Any fourth or fifth period. Characters: Numerous students frang- ing from freshmen to seniorsj and one capable leader. This is the setting for one of the most active departments of the school-the music department. There are four main divisions of this department: the band, the orchestra, the mixed chorus, and the girls' chorus. The band practices three times a week -Tuesday and Thursday the fourth per- iod, and Monday evening at seven oiclock. It is the band that plays for the pep ses- sions and for the football and basketball games. In addition, this group gives con- certs both in and out of school. The orchestra practices Monday, Wed- nesday, and Friday the fourth period. . ' V Burns. Thls g1'OUp fUI'nlShCS ITIUSIC f'-Ol' SUCT1 OC' Front Row: M. Sprinkle, Glenn, D. Arick, B. Foy. Front Row: W.

The mixed chorus and the girls, chorus also have a part in the music assemblies. These groups prac- tice during the fifth periods. One of the outstand- ing things done by the combined choruses is the car- oling in the downtown district at Christmas time. In this, the orchestra accompanies them. As a rule, the orchestra and chorus present a vaudeville in the fall and an opera in the spring. Characteristic of the assemblies which are given for the students and faculty each month by the en- tire music department was the one of February 14. The orchestra opened the concert by playing the In- dian Summer Suitef' Following this, Gerald Polman Ulaved a trombone solo, Bells of the Seaf' The first part of the program was concluded with the orches- ti'a's rendition of 'iThe First Waltz.,' Then Erleen Lee sang Song of Songsf, Wfhile the band was playing a march, three baton twirlers demonstrated their skill. By urgent request, the band repeated the ever-popular Williain Tell Overturef, Led by the chorus, the entire assembly united in singing two popular numbers. These were followed by a unique arrangement of the well-known Stardust. The pro- gram was concluded by the band playing Sakun- tala. Each assembly is a little different from the others. Some of the outside soloists who appeared during the year were Betty Arney, Mrs. A. Germanson, Rob- ert Cothrell, and Gloria Gumpper. Kathryn Beck- 50 man, Gerald Polman, Emalyn Remmel, Wilfred Bleeke, joan Earl, Betty Franklin, Larry Phipps, Er- lean Lee, Johq Wells, and Wayne Wright were some of the student soloists who appeared during the year. In order to help the P-T. A. raise enough money to further its work in conquering tuberculosis in the schools, the music department gave an evening con- cert. This gave those people who wanted to hear one of South Sidcis concerts and were unable to at- tend in the daytime a chance to come. The concert was conducted on the same order as those given for the students. The activities of the music department are not con- Hned to the school. The band. each year, takes part in the Armistice Day parade. During the year, there are also various meetings and entertainments for which South Sideis band furnishes music. One such entertainment was a concert given by them on a Sun- day afternoon at Simpson M. E. Church. There is a small band, having about thirteen or fourteen members, that has played for many pro- grams at the Y. M. C. A. The members of this band are boys from the regular band. A smaller group which plays for many entertain- ments both in and out of school is the South Side Trio. Loretta Rinearson, violinist: Ruth Dauner, cel- listg and Ruth Bade, pianist, form this trio. Among the events for which they have furnished music were the Indiana State Teachers' Convention, the Senior Play, the Lettermen's Banquet. the Fort Wayne THE TOTEM 1939 Fr nt Row L Rinearson B Elberson D Hall C Hau k A Snoke o : . , . , . , . g , . 1 F.

A poll was con- ducted in the home rooms to determine the numbers that were most enjoyed by the student body and the faculty. The campaign was a great success as far as true appreciation of good music is con- cerned, for in all the thirty-five numbers given for the students to chose from, not one of the favorite pieces was swing or ragtime. This truly is a victory for Mr. Jack Wainwright and proves that the population really enjoys the finer music and that swing does not and will not prove everlasting. Among the greater numbers played for the assembly were the William Tell Overture, the Military Over- ture. Under the Double Eagle, and Semi- ramide. Concerning the importance of music and its relation to character, there is no better quotation perhaps than this of Shakespeare: The man that hath no music in himself, At Christmas time, this trio and a vocal quartet composed of Emalyn Remmel, Betty Franklin, Wil- fred Bleeke, and Gerald Polman went to the Irene Byron Sanitarium. There they entertained the chil- dren at their Christmas party and then caroled through the buildings. This brought a great deal of cheer to the unfortunate people who must necessarily stay there for a while. Another unique thing that some of Qhe members of the music department did this year was to give a demonstration of var- ious instruments before the Woman's Club. Among those who did this and the instrument shown were Don Burns, cornet, Albert Verweire, Huteg June Flaig, harp, Bob Allen, French horn, Jack Car- gile, bassoong Ruth Dauner, cello, and Ei- leen Byer, clarinet. The music department, like all other departments, must have a leader. This Is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Ts fit for treasons, Stt'atagClhS, and spoils. And so the curtain falls on another busy and suc- cessful year in South Side's music department. place is filled very capably by the faculty adviser, Jack Wainwright. He was assisted in leading the band at pep sessions and games by the student director, Bob Shi- mel. Shirley White helps by taking charge 'of handing out the band uni- forms and seeing that they are all turned in at the proper time. In order that no music will get lost and that it is passed out and collected at each rehearsal, it is necessary to have a librarian. Don Burns has this position. There are many other students who help by working in the of- fice, copying music, and so forth. On May 23, the department presented the 'iassembly of all assembliesn with a Front Row: E. Remmel, K.

The Arch- ers met defeat in every one of their ten scheduled games. However, each game on the suicide schedule of the Green and White was hotly contested. In- experience and lack of capable reserves were the smaller but much faster Woodward of Toledo foot- ball team. The Kelly Klads grabbed an early lead in the second quarter, when a blocked Woodward punt gave the Archers the ball on Toledo's 5-yard line. On the third play of the second quarter, Fatheree plunged for South Sideis first touchdown major factors for South Sideis poor season. The Archers were, also, the victims of some very tough luck in some of their contests, and if given the right breaks, they might have stepped into pay dirti' of the season. Bob Biedenweg booted the extra point. However, South Side's play slowed down considerably, and Woodward was allowed to score in the second quarter and to punch over two more ITIOFC often. The ,38 season found a new coach directing South Side's football destinies. William Moss, coming to the city from Benton Harbor, Michigan, succeeded Lundy Welborn as head football coach. Many new faces appeared on the gridiron this year as only three regulars from the '37 squad returned. Bill Nloss in those early practice sessions instilled a iight- ing spirit in the boys that won the admiration of all their opponents. In the first game of the season, South Side trav- eled to South Bend to meet a strong Washington squad. The Archers were overwhelmed by the crushing attack of the Panthers and proved to be no match for the South Bend squad, the final score being 40 to O in favor of Washington. In their first home game on Saturday, September 17, the Archers were handed the second loss by a touchdowns in the final period. The Polar Bears went home at the head of a 20-7 score. The following Friday evening found the Moss- men displaying their wares under the floodlights of Bryan, Ohio. Bryan scored twice in the initial period, once in the second and twice in the third to conclude their evening's work. The final score read Bryan 32, South Side 0. In October, South Side met Peru in the Archers' second home game of the year. The Circus City lads trounced South Side by a score of 20 to 7. This game was a very hard fought contest, and the defeat was a bitter pill for the Kelly Klads to swal- low. The lone Green touchdown came on a pass in the fourth quarter when Fatheree hurled a 15- yard pass to Shimer, who shook off a couple of tacklers and ran 65 yards to score. Fatheree's pass to Cook was good for the extra point. Front Row: K. Kilpatrick, Cleland, A. Ferguson, E. Ferguson, D. Fyock, B. McCam- mon, W. Steup, C. Dager, S. Wfelborne, R. Porter, R.

I -il On October 8, the Mossmen met Michigan City. A Michigan City lateral pass play in the clos- ing minutes of the game was re- sponsible for the fifth consecutive defeat for South Side. The Green Wave outgained Michigan City eleven first downs to Michigan City's six. Bedenweg and Moor- head stood out for the Archers in this game. The Archers took another one on the chin the following Satur- day from a tough Froebel of Gary squad. The Kelly Klads were unable to cope with the ter- rific speed of the Red Devil backs and lost the ball game, 34-O. On the following Saturday, Central Catholic's fighting Irish defeated South Side for the first time in ten years. Playing heads- up ball, the Irish were quick to take advantage of the breaks.

But with a wide variety of running and pass- ing plays, the Green Wave struck quickly. Moor- head went over for a touchdown that climaxed a 75-yard march. Biedenweg place-kicked the extra point. However, on the kickoff the Catholic lads gained possession of the ball, and the game ended four minutes later with the Archers on the short end of a 13-7 count. South Side again met defeat at the hands of North Side the following Friday. The Redskins lir- erally swamped the Southern lads, running up a score of 46-O. South Side never gave up trying, but they were no match for the North Side champions. Central's Tigers stopped South Side to a tune of 47-0 the following Saturday. Early in the hrst quarter, using their puzzling spread formation, the Tigers scored after a 65-yard march. From then on the game was more or less of a track meet for Central. Captain LeRoy Cook and Albert Ferguson were placed on the second team of the All-City team. The 1938 football season for South Side was not very successful mainly due to -lack of material and inexperience. But the coming season, the Archers should have a powerhouse with most of their for- ward wall and nearly all of their starting backfield returning. This year's team has learned the hard way by losing so many games, but this type of foot- ball is bound to pay off some time with large divi- dends. To all the boys on the football squad and to Coach Bill Moss, the Senior Class of '39 and the rest of the student body sincerely believe the football organization did exceptionally well when we consider the handicaps that faced the team. The following seniors have played their last game for South Side: Tom Moorhead, A. Ferguson. Eugene Ferguson, Ralph Alsmeyer, Dick Goshorn, Art Nliller, Don Osgood, Bob Biedenweg, Keith Kil- patrick, Bob Ferguson, Walter Staight, Joe Bex, Maurice Schman, and Bob Merchant. 55 ll AW , -W-www-vmzar ' ix 25:4- ES TI-IE PEAK OF WISDOM Z X -1 X -is IIIE STILL SIN THEWIE THE CHIHTIPS By EDDIE REEVES It was a cold, rainy night in Huntington on Sat- urday, March 11, when a surprising band of Ossian Bears pulled the biggest upset of the 1938-39 season of Indiana basketball by drubbing a powerful South Side net five, 42-28. The game was almost incon- ceivable to those 3,500 fans who filled the Hunting- ton Community Gymnasium, but there was little doubt as to the fact that the Bears were the superior aggregation on that particular Saturday. night. There were a number of teams which could have defeated the Archers on that particular Saturday eve, but there were none which could have come close to displaying the fine sportsmanship in de- feat as was shown by that, one of the greatest of all South Side teams. Every South Side student has reason to be proud of the 1938-39 squad which passed with flying colors the greatest test in athletic competition, sportsmanship in defeat. Even though they fell before those Ossian Bears in the Regional Finals, this yearis basketball team is thought by many to have been the toughest team in the state of Indiana. The Green and White squad, comprised of Bob Bolyard, Don Beery, Jim Glass, Don Hire, Carl Hall, Ralph Hamilton, Bob Hines, John Chedester, LeRoy Cook and Blackie Braden, brought to South Side its first perfect sea- son record, winning all twenty of their scheduled games. In addition, the Friddlemen came through to win the City and N. E. I. C. Championships. The Green rode through all city contests in true championship style, winning all five of their games. Likewise, in N. E. I. C. competition the Archers kept their slate clean by winning all of their six starts. Bob Bolyard received special recognition when he was placed on the ofhcial all-state team, picked by the Associated Press before tournament competition is begun. Carl Hall was picked by many as the best long-shot in the stateg Don Beery as one of the top-notch guards, Jim Glass as tops among the pivot men, and the Archer reserves were voted the state's best. The Archers' greatest achievement was undoubt- edly that string of twenty victories. Never before in the history of the school has a South Side basket- Don Hire John Chedester Jim Glass 1 Burl Fricldle ball team won all of its scheduled games. The Green Wfave got the season off to a great start with a 46- to-35 victory over the Kendallville Comets. Bob Bolyard and Jim Glass, the two returning members of the 1938 state championship varsity Hve, were the power of the Green offensive attack. The state champs then travelled to Bluffton to hand the Tigers a sound 34-to-18 trouncing. The Archers got their first real test of the season on the following night against Connersville and came through with flying colors, beating the Southern Indiana team 27-21. The Archers' next foe was Auburn, and the Friddle- men turned back the challenge of the Red Devils 42-27. South Side fans got their first chance to see the Archers in action the following week-end. The Green put on a real show by trimming Vincennes 43-22. Carl Hall was the big gun of the Archer J, Carl Hall Robert Bolyard I 1 3 x Q-9' 5- ' . l?

During Christmas vacation the Archers opened their bid for the city title against Central Catholic. Coach Friddle's squad turned back the National Catholic Champions by the impressive score of 44-34. Only a few days later the Archers entered the Holiday Invitational tournament which was played at Hammond. Their first opponent was Frankfort and Coach Everett Case's Hot Dogs gave the Green their first taste of defeat when a last-quarter rally gave them a 42-to-40 win over South Side. In the consolation game that evening, the same Vincennes squad, which the Archers had previously over- whelmed 43-22, came from out of nowhere to beat the Green 30-27. After this more or less disheartening ending of the old year, the Archers got the new year started with a bang, whipping an undefeated North Side team 34-21. This victory was especially impressive as the Archers played the entire game without the services of big Jim Glass. A hot Froebel of Gary outfit nearly knocked off the Archers the following night, but the Green eked out a 32-to-31 victory. Hartford City and Franklin were the next victims of the sharpshooting Archers. The Airdales were humbled 45-13, while the mighty Franklin Grizzlies -playing without George Crowe, all-stare center- were defeated by a score of 35-28. The Archers had a bit of trouble with the Central Tigers in their annual mid-semester battle and had Center: Coach Burl Friddle, R. Bolyard. From Left to Right: C. Hall, D. Beery, D. Hire, C.

Goshen was next to fall before the Green and White avalanche by the one-sided score of 48-21. On the following week-end the Archers nosed Huntington 31-29 and followed up with a sensational 60-to-18 victory over Coach Hank Francis' Elwood net men. It was right about here that the Archers reached their peak for the season. Following up their Elwood triumph with a 43-to-34 win over North Side and a 36-to-29 defeat of the powerful Kokomo Kats, who were top in the North Central Conference, the Archers appeared well on their way to another state title. The Green kept their amazing record in tack bv nosing Central 31-27 and drubbing a highly- touted New Albany outfit 45-32. The Archers then breezed through Salem 45-19, and Horace Mann of Gary 43-27 to bring their regular season to a close without losing a single game of their twenty-game schedule. The Archers were then picked along with Frank- lin as co-favorites to win the state title. The Archers cleared their first hurdle, the Fort Wayne Sectionals, in fine style, beating North Side 33-28. The Green had advanced to the finals by knocking off Central, 38-32, Leo, 34-175 and Decatur, 36-24. The Archers were naturally favored in the Hunt- ington Regional the following week-end. However, a strong Redkey five gave the Archers a real scare before bowing out, 29-26. Three long shots by Bob Bolyard in the closing minutes were all that enabled the Archers to re- main in tournament competition. That night a great Cssian team shot the Archers, state championship LEW hopes by handing the Green that long - to - be - remembered 42-to-28 beating. Regardless of the final outcome of South Side's basketball fortunes, the Archers knew that during the 1938- 39 season one of the best teams ever seen in these parts made a real name for themselves and South Side in the hardwood sport. Many believed that the '38-39 squad rivaled the previous state champions in many respects. Everyone knew that the team played clean and hard whether they were ahead or behind. lv I 1 fl- HL ' so W. .gs X ,R by af' We. 4', AAkg .- - 5 I an ., g xi XJ .:. t V y ,...: J, ea. f -il A -dies Q iv-sg-,Hg THE? HBE THE IIHCHEIYS IIBRDIUS By MORTON NAHRWOLD Perhaps after the last two seasons of basketball, many of you have forgotten that we even have a track team. That is where you are wrong, for our track team is really bloss- oming out into something fine. With the help of a few basketball stars our boys have won almost every meet. If they have not won, they have placed second or third in every meet entered. There are many factors contrib- uting to the fine track team. The most important, we think, is the new track coach, Mr. George Col- lyer. He is one fine gentleman who knows his boys. He doesn't work them too hard, yet does get wonderful results. He is well-liked by every pupil over whom he has charge, the football boys, the tracksters, the boys and girls in his history class. On the side, as one might say, George gives his all to the enlightenment of the pupils on the great Greek run- ners of history. In other words he teaches history. Mr. Collyer received his A.B. de- gree from Butler University. He later returned to Indiana and re- ceived his M.A. degree. Collyer came to Fort Wayne when Pop,' Tudor came to South Side. He filled Pop's shoes as gym in- structor at Harrison Hill. When Lundy Welborn resigned as track and football coach, Mr. Collyer came with Mr. Nloss to Fill these shoes. He has been teaching eight years in South Side, Harrison Hill, and Knightstown. From the first few track meets of our present sea- son, it seems as if George Collyer really knows his stuff. He is really one of the important cogs on this year's track team. Another very important factor which has contributed to the track team is the quality of the boys. The nucleus of the team is formed around such boys as Arnold, Alt- Top: Coach George Collyer. Below: Don Beery, shot put expert. Alison Arnold, m a s t e r of the hurdles. Eugene Botz, Robert Ferguson, Don Beery, Bob Merchant. 58 man, Beery, Merchant, and Cook. Collyer can always be sure of hav- ing these boys take first or second in the events that they enter. Be- sides these men, there are several others almost as good. On Saturday, April ZZ, the South Side thinlies made a clean sweep of the meet with six other schools in the LaPorte invitational tourney. The Archers came in nrst with a total of eighty points. The team won six firsts and rolled in points in about a dozen other events. On Monday, May 1, the Arch- ers set the Central Tigers and the Kendallville Comets back, winning with 75 points. Central was second with 49 points. The main attrac- tion of this meet was the perform- ance of Alison Arnold in the low hurdles. His new track record is 23:9 seconds. During this same week South Side's thinlies placed second in the N. E. I. C. tourna- ment meet with 55 points. Here are all of the events in which our boys participate: 100-yard dash-Merchant, Botz. Pole vault-Altman, Hofstetter. Shot put-Beery, Close.

Organized for the beneht of those boys not actively engaged in varsity athletics, this department has proved, by far, the fa- vorite extra-curricular activity of the boys of the school since the Hrst year of its organization. The number of activities has increased steadilyg some are dropped along the way, but always more new activi- ties are taken up to offset this loss. Improving the system year by year has been Mr. Briner's chief ob- jective, as he dropped those events which proved un- popular with the boys in favor of others more en- thusiastically accepted. From this room beneath the bleachers, Mr. Briner directs the activities of about one thousand one hun- dred boys who take part in twelve events. However, this number does not represent the individuals who take part. There are, however, between four hun- dred fifty and five hundred boys that are active in intramural sports. This number includes nearly half of the boys who are enrolled in the school. The year 1938 marked the beginning of a sub- organization in the intramural department. The In- tramural Club has been formed of all boys who are intramural lettermeng in other words, those who have earned 125 points. Business meetings are held twice a month, and once a month a potluck is held to which all boys having forty points are invited. The first sport undertaken last fall was cross- Country. This was won by Robert Feistkorn in the heavyweight division, by Frank Duwaldt in the mid- dleweight division, and by Darrell Zuber in the light- weight division. Tag football, which is usually the second event conducted, had to be eliminated because of the con- dition of the south field after the construction work on the school. The next sport of the fall season was tennis, which was won by Billy Martin in the lightweight class, by Jack Waldschmid: in the middleweight class, and by Max Stobaugh in the heavyweight class. Wald- schmidt was last year's lightweight champion. Since a relatively few boys entered the bowling tourney, it was divided into only two groups with Maurice Lehman winning the heavyweight division and Alfred Hertel and Morton Nahrwold placing second and third respectively. In the lightweight class Paul Dammier placed first with Tom Hall and Harry Hageman second and third. In the foul throwing tourney, Don Stroebel placed 60 first in the heavyweight division with Harry Hage- man and Tom Brower winning the middleweight and lightweight championships respectively. The usual boxing and wrestling tournaments were not held this year. I-Iandball, which is always interesting, saw last yearis champs dethronecl. In the singles Byron Mc- Cammon won the heavyweight title, Bob Ferguson took first in the middleweight division, and Darrell Zuber captured the lightweight title. In the doubles, Robert Baals and Paul Kiester took the heavyweight crown, Eugene Hofstetter and Jack Dahlman the middleweight, and Dick Nahrwold and Fred Stolte the lightweight. As might be expected, basketball drew the largest number of participants. So many boys took part that it was necessary to have a new league. A pe- culiar thing happened this year as the F. O. P. team. made up of Tom Brower, Darrell Zuber, Dave Stolte, Carl Miller, Tom Beall, Billy Martin, and Harold Werkiiian won both light and middleweight cham- LOUIS A. BRINER S E .2 pionships. The heavyweight title went to the Dukes, who defeated the S.O.M.A.C. in the finals. The Dukes are Gene Cas- sady, Robert Ferguson, Robert Shimel, Norbert Holloway, Arnold Flaig, and Rich- ard Buirley. Volleyball ran basketball a close second in regard to participation, and also had to be run off both at noon and at night. It was a double elimination tourney, each team having to be beaten twice to become eliminated. The Baldies, made up of Le- Roy Cook, Wayne Heinzelman, Don Beery, Jim Glass, Bob Bolyard, Harold Kitzmil- ler, Don Hire, and Carl Braden, won the heavyweight championship. The middle- weight title was won by the Tippy Truck- ers, which consisted of Darrell Zuber, Frank Nelson, George McClain, Billy Mar- tin, Bob Wolf, and Robert Meyers. In the lightweight division the Cubs came out on top. The Cubs are Arnold Boese, Dick Nahrwold, Carl Armstrong, Richard Kil- patrick, Robert Derck, Dave Stolte, and Eugene Stair. One of the outstanding annual events of the intramural department which was car- ried out in much ceremony was the Intra- mural Carnival. Nearly two hundred boys from thc- department participated in this noteworthy affair. Each boys, gym class sent representatives for each sport to the carnival which was held after school. Some of the feats demonstrated in this meet were not the regular sports of the intramural schedule, but included such skill-requiring games as pitching a softball for accuracy, calisthenics, tumbling, boxing, wrestling, walking the balanced board, and tug-of- Bowling-M, Lehman, P. Dammier. war. Approximately five hundred students witnessed this annual event. Another sport which has rapidly become popular and which was instituted at South Side only this year was varsity ping-pong in collaboration with the intramural depart- ment. Under the skilled supervision of Mr. Cook, the team comprised of Kenneth Erne, Maurice Lehman, Max Stobaugh, Melvin O'Brien, Jim Brooks, Don Stroebel, and Billy Martin played several exciting matches with other schools. The most notable of these matches was the one with Arcola on January 16 when the Southern team made a clean sweep of the meet in both singles and doubles. Mr. Cook and Kenneth Erne shared the spotlight by win- ning all their games. The final score on games was 19-15 in South Side's favor. In all the years of the intramural depart- ment's existence there has never been such enthusiasm as has been shown this year. It is the participation of such a large number of eager boys that makes South Side's in- tramural department the best in the state, a fact which is readily acknowledged by other schools. No other school offers such a complete and varied schedule of sports as is offered here. The number of sports has grown from seven in 1924, which in- cluded such sports as baseball, bowling, basketball, and others, to almost twice this number in 1939. Even though baseball is no longer one of the competitive sports on the intramural program, the fourteen sports include all the latest games, such as softball, handball, foul throwing, golf, bas- lcetball, tag football, cross country, and ten- nis. A total of nearly five hundred boys participated in at least one of these sports. Basketball-Front Row: D. Zuber, D. Stolte, W. Martin, R. Beall. Second Row: T. Brower, H.

THE TOTEM 1939 EXERCISE THIS IIIIW IS PLIW One may have to con- I tend with a sprained finger once in a while or may limp around the halls with a sprained ankle, but these minor things don't discourage our G. A. A.'ers-they come right back for more fun! Under the capable su- pervision of Miss Gret- chen Smith and Miss Alice Dean and with the help of the OECEYS, the G. A. A. has completed another highly success- ful season, with a total of approximately 450 girls participating in the activities. The officers during the year have been Hazel Perry, presi- dentg Betty Showalter, vice-president, Margery Price, secretary, Audrey Hall, treasurerg Jeanne Smith, manager of sports, Thoinpsie Hall, freshman representativeg and Geneva Martin, Inter-Club Con- gress representative. Q The tennis tournament began activities in the fall. Class winners were Gene Porter, senior, Agnes Seiler, junior, Jeanne Smith, sophomore, and Betty Har- gan, freshman. Jeanne Smith became champion of the school when she scored a smashing victory over Gene Porter and then ITICI and defeated Agnes Seiler, who had previously triumphed over Betty Hargan. Hockey and speedball also drew the attention of many girls. All upperclassmen enjoyed hockey, and the senior team proved to be too experienced for the others and went through the season with an un- defeated record for the championship. Members of this team were Dorothy Bloemker, Wilina Carrier, Velma Connett, Donna Dennis, Mildred Franz, Phyllis Kaiser, Margery Price, Mary Jane Rison, Gwen Roberts, Frieda Schubert, Betty Showalter, Olive Zahn. Marjorie Schelper, Bonnie Taylor, Mar- jorie Stratton, Margaret Wittiner, Mildred Berry. Patty Lyman, Harriet Mann, Virginia Sprunger, and Hazel Perry, captain. The freshman girls played speedball, and the team clinching top honors in this sport was Rose Stemen's team.

On October Z1 approximately two hundred mem- bers gathered at a Halloween Party at which were featured a novel program, dancing, refreshments, and prizes for costumes. The senior team, captained by Hazel Perry, again captured first place in the upperclass volleyball tour- ney. Betty Hargan led her freshman team to victory in their tourney. Champs on this team were Con- stance Bender, Elaine Boerger, Bertha Coudret, Audrey Evans, jean Junk, Melrose Lyman, Mary Menze, Lenora Moyer, Sylvia Sholty, Patricia Smith, Dorothy Snavely, Rosemary Spore, Vasilka Stephens, lVlae Vanderford, Jeanette Xwhetsel, Delores Wine- brenner, and June Whalen. This year the South Side Lettergirls were hostesses to the Lettergirls of North Side and Central at the Play Day on December 9. Approximately sixty-five girls were present. Basketball, the favorite of all, was the next sport offered, and again those dynamic seniors carried off top honors in the upperclass tourney. Flashing their championship ability in this sport were Bernice Ben- der, Dorothy Bloemker, Marcella Brachmann, Dor- othy Lou Braun, Wilma Carrier, Beth Ellen Chad- wick, Velma Connett, Ethelda Koch, Patty Lyman, THE TOTEM 1939 Front Row: W.

Not being discouraged by the fact that the seniors had won the crown in the regular season games, a spirited sophomore honor team played brilliantly and upset the senior honor squad in the honor tourney. Members on this team were Frances Nash, Mary Alice Dunten, Ber- nadine Bender, Geneva Martin, Frances Gross, Betty Thiele, Mary Fry, Marie Lebanoff, Eva Jean Wylie, Maxine Ster- ling, Marguerite Calkins, and Captain Jeanne Smith. In January at the Recognition Service, active G. A. Afers were presented well- eatned awards. Ten girls received varsity letters while thirteen were awarded nu- merals. Tumbling was the next sport of- fered. Classes were organized for both beginning and advanced tumblers. The World Cruisel' was the theme of the annual spring show presented by the ' Girls Athletic Association. A complete trip around the world gave the audience a glimpse of many ports and the pas- times and pleasures of the different people. Some of the highlights of the show included Hi-Hat tap dance number, a scene in a London night club with the people doing the Yam, a group of Irish peasants doing a typical Irish jig, a group of modern dancers of Russia in one of their dances, several Chinese coolies and their mistress singing a Chinese song, and a beautiful scene of the beach of Hawaii with their familiar haunting melodies and beautiful islanders' dances. The trip was ended with a scene of the San Francisco World's Fair with everyone doing the Yam. With the close of the G. A. A. exhibit, another grand year has also come to completion. Front Row: M.

That the students of South Side have done so ex- ceptionally well in their school work and extra-cur- ricular activities, that they have so frequently received state and national honors, that South Side has be- come known as the school of champions, is largely due to our splendid faculty. Of course, we South Side students will admit, in our humble way, that we are very good material for any faculty, but to our teachers goes the final credit for taking this good material and molding it into champions. Perhaps that is exaggeration, but it is time that at least some of the glory and credit were given to our patient, long-suffering pedagogues. While we students are out front taking the bows for every per- formance, the teachers are working unspectacularly behind the curtain making ready for other and finer performances. In back of every South Side triumph, every achievement of importance, whether it is in publications work or basketball, public speaking or music, you will always find a teacher. Besides, there are other triumphs that South Side has won because of its excellent faculty which can- not be so easily exhibited but are nevertheless real victories. Thev are the everyday triumphs in the teaching of such fundamental and unpublicized sub- jects as mathematics, history. English. etc. Work in such subjects is not show-window workg yet it is the most important of all school activity, the real stuff of education. The uniformly high quality of teach- ing in these subjects South Siders receive each day throughout the school year is the finest blessing which Hows from our fine faculty. And our faculty is not just a good faculty but, by several methods of judging, a most superior group of teachers. Some members measure up to univer- sity standards. Many are of real ability and distinc- tion in their held. All are conscientious, persevering, above-the-average teachers. Truly a faculty of champions! 66 What a discouraging job it must be sometimes to be a teacher! All day long you lecture, plead, and pray knowledge into pupils who would rather be play- ing or sleeping than learning. You acquire the dis- like of those you have to prod on and those you have to flunk. Those who show any interest in the subject or friendship toward you are accused of apple-polishing. You cry out in anguish at the stu- pidity and laziness of your pupils, and the students call you a crab. You try to maintain high standards, and you are denounced as too hard and avoided. You lower your standards and you are despised for being a ucinchf' You try to stimulate interest in your subject suggesting outside work or reading, and a week later you find that the class has unanimously ignored your suggestions. At the end of a semester of teaching you believe or hope that you have at least taught your pupils a few facts, and so you give them a test to prove it and find that they have forgotten them. Then on grade card day you face the bitter words and hateful looks of the disap- pointed students and later those of the more disap- pointed parents. Finally, after a year of this struggle is past, you feel that you have some pupils perhaps who are beginning to learn and be interestedg they graduate and a new freshman class takes their place. as dumb if not dumber than the last. The first teacher of South Side-for a good prin- cipal is always a teacher-is R. Nelson Snider, whose keen, penetrating mind, most fair judgment, and pleasant wit make him, frankly, the ideal principal. His assistant, Dorothy Alderdice, is an experienced and able helper. And no one could ask for a more cheerful and helpful oihce clerk than Margaret Ann Ruckel. Miss Martha Pittenger, our likable dean, is ad- mired and respected as a teacher who has a very im- portant job and, without undue strictness, does it exceedingly well. THE TOTEM 1959 A person with whom nearly the whole student body has had contact at one time or another is the attendance clerk and keeper of the study hall, Mrs. Scott, whose competence is a constant discourage- ment to the excuse forgets and study hall slaclcers. Heading South Side's biggest and most important department is Mr. Benjamin Null, the able executive of the English department, the lovable personality, and the droll comedian who could teach Dale Car- negie a few things about this business of winning friends. Our school has been particularly fortunate throughout the years in having in its faculty the English teacher, Mr. Herman O. Malcey. The extent of his knowledge of this language of ours is only exceeded by the hoard of information he has on all other subjects of any worth or interest, he is, you might say, a rare combination of the English diction- ary and the encyclopedia. This eruditon, coupled with his excellent ability at teaching English, have made him a strong, outstanding personality in our faculty. This department is also benefited by the able performance of the etymologically-inclined Miss Emma Kiefer, the much-traveled Miss Elizabeth Kelley, the jolly, human Miss Mary McCloskey, the sweet and demure Miss Susen Peck, the soft-voiced, r-eradicating Miss Rose Mary Delancey, the gay, mis- chievous Miss Dorothy Magley, the sensible Mr. Maurice Cook, the literary Miss Elizabeth Demaree, the cleverly-original Miss Amanda Heinmer, the un- derstanding Mrs. Welty, the affable Miss Lucy Os- borne, and the efficient Miss Mary Pococlc. History, civics, economics, citizenship and occupa- tions, and government are the social sciences of the department under scholarly Mr. Maurice Murphy. A course under Pat Murphy has been for many of us a rich, unforgetable experience-memorable be- cause of his poltical interpretations based on most extensive reading, his masterful lectures, his pleasing jokes and proverbs, and the original Murphy obser- vations on life and things in general. A student has missed something valuable if he has not had as a teacher both Mr. Murphy and Mr. Wilson, for Wilburn Wilson is the complement of Maurice Murphy. Astute, learned, tolerant, eloquent, subtle, witty, all describe this admired teacher who has the past year organized at South Side the Indiana Student Forum-an idea that may malce for a na- tional high school movement. Mr. H. McClure, the stoclc and bond expert, Miss Mary Crowe, the skillful New Deal defender, Miss Pauline VanGorder, the enthusiastic, energetic citizenship and occupations teachers, Miss Hazel Mil- ler. diminutive prom-planner, Mr. Clyde Peirce, an important addition this year, Miss Eleanor Smeltzly, the loquacious globe trotter as well as capable coach, further strengthen this strong department. The foreign language department, under the lead- ership of that incomparable Latin teacher Miss Gert- rude Oppelt, includes: Miss Olive Perkins, who teaches so clearlv and interestingly the fascinating French language, Miss Clara Schmidt, the eH:ective teacher of the strong, rich German language, and the charming Mr. Earl Sterner, the thorough Mrs. Carson, and the competent Mrs. Welty-Latin teach- ers who malce Latin appear at its best. The intricacies of mathematics are explained by this group of teachers under queenly Miss Adelaide Fiedler, Ora Davis, our harassed athletic manager, loyal Miss George Anna Hodgson, Lundy Welborn. a soft-spoken he-man, good-humored Mabel Fort- ney, Mr. Verne Flint, our genial vocational guide and collector of old mathematics texts, humanitarian Miss Nlabel Thorne of Labrador fame, and merry Mr. Paul Sidell, an all-year-round Santa Claus. Mr. E. H. Murch, our business-like, energetic school treasurer, is fittingly enough the head of the business or commercial department which is a very well-organized, efhciently-managed, and generally successful department. Also responsibility for the high standards of this department are: Mr. Ernest Walker, disclaiming all dignity, original Mr. Delivan l Miss 'H. Nliller, Mr. McClure, Mr, M. Murphy, Miss M. Crowe, Mr. W. Wil:oi1, Miss O. Perkins, Miss C. Schmidt. Mrs. R. Welty, Mr. E, Sterner, Miss G. Oppelt, Mrs. A. Carson, Mr. C. Pierce, Miss E. Smeltzly, Miss P. VanGorder, Mr. G. Collyer, Mr. W .

Under these ex- cellent teachers, students at South Side have the val- uable opportunity of packing a surprisingly large amount of fine business training into a few years. Jack Wainwright, a human dynamo, has built up single-handed the music department to its present high status. His strong personality and amazing ca- pacity for work Hr precisely the saying: He may be small, but he's wound up tight. Vivacious is the word for Miss Erma Dochterman of the art department whose enthusiasm and artistic qualities make her a colorful personality indeed. Sharing her enthusiasm for the artistic is her fellow teacher of the art department, friendly, talented Blanche Hutto. The industrial arts department at South Side is certainly one of our most practical, most appreciated, and most successful de- partments. My father, C. A. Bex, of this department, I can tell you frankly and really impartially, is one of the best teachers I have ever had ffor I have had him as a teacherl at getting a subject across to a class clearly and definitely. Mr. H. Chappell, who teaches wood- turning and drafting so well and is a lead- ing candidate for the best-dressed teacher at South Side, and Joseph Plaskett, the sail-boat champion, are the other teachers of our superior industrial arts department which prepares so many of its students for the kind of work the biggest group of graduates eventually do. Mr. Louie Hull, the physics teacher, is an outstanding member of our outstand- ing science department. He is the true scientist-with an enthusiastic interest in 68 things scientific fpursuing personal research in as- tronomy and x-ray workl, with a wonder at the marvels of science, and with an admirable ability at transferring his own zeal and wonder to those around him. He is scientific even to absent-minded- ness sometimesg these lapses are sometimes humor- ous, especially when he coins his original twists of language lsuch as stretch it shorterwj known as Hullisins. Mr. E. S. Gould, the plant-loving, greenhouse- keeping, botany teacher, is also the careful, zealous scientist-with a twinkle in his eye. Brainy and brawny Ward O. Gilbert teaches chemistry enter- tainingly and effectively in an individual Gilbxert style, marked by wisecracks and characteristic marks such as his profound Gosh, I don't know. Our other excellent scientists are: Mr. Lloydfiwhe- lan, who is especially noted for cramming much information into one of his college-like, ecturesg ,, A ,1 Blr. R. Furst, lVIr. D, Parks, Mr, E.

Bex. quiet, unassuming Mr. A. W. fieine, the biologist, patient, likable, Edith Crowe, the hygienist, square- jawed, capable Dorsa Yoder, and merry Mr. Paul Sidell, who teaches physics as enjoyably as he does mathematics. South Side has maintained its usual high standards in inter-school athletics with three fine coaches who are three fine fellows: Burl Friddle, who has again won state-wide fame with an undoubtedly superb basketball team, Bill Moss, our powerful football coach, who, despite a poor season, has begun to put the fighting spirit back into our football squad, and George Collyer, whose patient and thorough coach- ing is responsible for South Side,s remarkable come- but also for its less celebrated yet perhaps even more outstanding intramural program. Our varsity teams are beaten by other schools, but our intra- mural athletics program in the number of partici- pants, variety of sports, and excellence of organiza- tion is positively unsurpassed, if not unequaled, by any other school in the state. Persons responsable are: Louis Briner, the burly V-man in charge of the boys divisiong radio-infatuated Miss Gretchen Smith, the clever and talented girls' athletics direc- torg and Miss Alice Dean, her orderly and efficient fellow teacher. No department in school perhaps has a better justification for existence than the home economics department. Nothing learned here is put away in back in track. 501116 ClLlSty COFHCF of the The physical education department is noteworthy not only for its well-known inter-scholastic athletics Mr. A.

In a school renowned in many fields, no work has been more outstanding or more successful than work done on the publications, The Times and The Totem. These publications have won not merely occasional state honors but they have won top national honors more often and consistently than any other high school newspaper or yearbook in this country. Due credit should of course be given to the stu- dents, but, as was stated near the beginning of this article, in back of every South Side triumph you will always find a teacher. Back of this major triumph is Miss Rowena Harvey. Need more be said? Spirited, dynamic, Miss Marjorie Suter, as able a performer in front of the footlights as a director as she is behind them as an actress, continues 'to teach drama in ber individual, enchanting way and produce plays of real dramatic excellence. These are our teachers. They are the faculty of champions of whom we are justly proud. They have been our patient instructors and conscientious guides along the paths of learning. For the hours of extra work and worry we have caused them, we are sorry, for the hours of rich, pleasant experiences they have given us, we are grateful. Not strictly speaking in the faculty, yet a real part of South Side is the group of school employees who work for us. The courteous and efficient service of Carl Vonderau and his stag has been honestly ap- preciated by all South Siders. We of the pencil- pushing profession have had frequent contact with the print-shop employees familiarly known as the boys in the press roomf' Kindly, ever-patient, 'cHar- key , Charlie , the veteran pressman, and Irish , with his everlasting good-nature, are the fellows who set up and print the high school newspapers and printed matter for school use and are responsible for the type vou are now reading.
