THE TOTEM 1939 FEELIIIG LIHE VETERIIIIS By HELEN WIEHE South Side's around the first bend sophomores are nearing a promising home stretch even if their main event was horsey. 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.

THE TOTEM 1939 Hall, Gertrude Nlerkel, Eileen Goddard, and Mar- jorie Gerding. 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.
