THE TOTEM 1940 THEY SWING A MEAN SPATULA By ALICE POPE Don't look now, boys, but hereis your chance- W7o-Ho-Ma girls, for the meaning of Wo-Ho-Ma is Worthy Home Makers. All joking aside, this club has three very valuable aims which are: 1. To train girls to be active and eHicient leaders in home, school, and community life. 2. To furnish an opportunity for social life, with programs and social gatherings. 3. To promote more interest in home economics. All girls who have taken any home economics or who are taking home economics at the present time are eligible for this club. While this club had only a few members when it was started, it now has a mem- bership of fifty-three girls. The present adviser is Miss Helen Bean. Miss Pearl Rehorst and Miss Crissie Mott also rotate as advisers. The oncicers for the first semester were Norman Sprunger, president, Ruth Fuhrman, vice-president, Eileen Hofmann, secretary, Louise Buesking, treas- urer, Margaret Geroff, Inter-Club Congress repre- sentative, and Eileen Kiessling, Times representative. During the second semester, Marjorie Gerding reigned as president of Wo-Ho-Ma assisted by Helen Dicke as vice-president, Flora Sauer, secre- tary, Lorraine Dicke, treasurer, Margaret Ger- off, Inter-Club Congress representative, and Katherine Bulte- meier, Times represen- Hanock. of Wolf BL Dessauer, A Vacation Trip to New Yorkw by Miss Susen Peck, a Christmas play by members of the club and a Christmas story by Miss Emma Kiefer, a trip to the Holsum Bakery, a skate at Bell's Rink, and a Mothers' Day tea. One of the most interesting and impressive meet- ings held by this club is the initiation service. Officers and an outstanding member of the club who is cho- sen as the Spirit of Economics take Part in this serv- ice. This is a candlelight service, candles being held by officers, Spirit of Economics, and new members. New members are tolcl the aims and values of this club before they take their pledge. To the accom- paniment of soft music, each new member takes her pledge of membership and is welcomed into the club by old members. In addition to the study of every day problems, the club furnishes adequate advantages for the girls to become eiiicient in the social graces that are so necessary in the managing of homes. Of course to have a home is a dream of every Wo-Ho-Ma girl. This club gives a girl practical knowledge that will be helpful to her all of her life. Even those girls who clon't marry or have homes of their own will find many occasions to use this knowledge. First Row: B. Kyvik, M. Frede, M. Geroff, N. Keel, Schleiger, M. Gerding, A. Meyers, B.

This club helps to H- nance its programs by serving at school ban- quets, by giving skates, and by collecting dues. The club chose as its yearly theme Every Day Problems of the High School Girl. Ar the first meeting of the year Wo-Ho-Ma girls were entertained with a talk by Miss Pittenger. Some of the other meetings were as fol- lows: Initiation services for new members, an inter- esting talk, Clothes for the High School Girln, given by Miss Jane Latz 96 THE TOTEM 1940 THESE HAMS ARE WELL SEASONED By DICK STRASBURG The house lights are dimmed and the curtain goes up on another epi- sode of the Student Play- ers Club. The club strives to create an active inter- est in dramatics and to promote good will. Each year since its founding in 1929, the number of members has increased steadily. The Student Players Club of 1939-40 season had a very successful year. In the October meeting, election of of- ficers was held. Dick Strasburg was elected president, Dick Dyke, vice-president, June Mc- Alister, secretary-treas- urerg Bea Etzler, Inter- Club Congress represen- tative, and Bruce Brad- bury, point recorder. After the election of officers, two plays were given. The first was The Still Alarmn, in which Bob Brooks play- ed the part of Bob Berk- First Row: M. Sheldon, Nl. Marquardt, Gumpper, C. Hirschy, H.

Following this, a play, Change of Hearts7', was presented by several girls. The characters were, Mrs. Martengay, Martha Jean Smith, Mrs. Puff, Bea Etzlerg Mrs. Russell, Charlene McAteeg and Mrs. Thorn, Delores Daniels. Another very interesting program was held in No- vember in which the play, The Calf That Laid the Golden Eggu, was presented. The cast was: Mrs. Scott, Ellen McKay, Mr. Scott, Don Meyer, Mary, June McAlister, and the new maid, Lois Likins. Cth- ers in the cast were Phyllis Branning, Leah Schwartz, and Carolyn Cartwright. The third monthly play was given at the Decem- ber meeting. It was called First Anniversary , and those who took part are Martin Gernand, Velma Lageman, and Phyllis Fackler. Each year Student Player Clubs of all three high schools get together in January and again at the last meeting of the year. In January there was an initia- tion and a dance held at Central High School. The initiates from each school presented a play. The South Side initiates who were winners in acting are Clara Makey, Alice Sweet, Fred Walker, and Fred Collins. The next meeting was held in February in the form of a potluck. The officers who were elected to serve for the second semester were Dorothy Gore, president, and Phyllis Branning, vice-president. Committees for the remaining meetings were ap- pointed by Miss Suter. The chairmen of these meet- ings were Dick Strasburg and Mary Ellen Barrett. All these events led up to the big event of the year. the senior play, She Got Away With It, in which the McAlister twins played the part of the counter- feit wife. The cast was made up of sixteen seniors. It was a very delightful play in which Shirley Holis- ter, played by June McAlister, took the place of Sylvia Hollister, her twin sister, played by Joyce Mc- Alister, in order that she could go away to get a rest. Some very interesting scenes took place during the course of the play. Finally it was discovered that Shirley Holister was taking the place of her twin sis- terg but, by that time, Sylvia Hollister had recovered and she came to her home and lived happily ever after. 97 THE TOTEM 1940 THEREJRE NO BOO'S FOR BOOSTER By IRENE SHULTZ They sell the candy at the game, They decorate the gym, To work together is their aim With pep, vigor and vim. They lead the yells with all their might And do it for the Green and White. They are the Booster Club, you see Promoting school spirit endlessly. As you can tell, from reading the tasty bit of verse above, this club has many activities to undertake. To it belongs the responsibility of raising money, decorating for games and banquets, and taking charge of the pep sessions. The heads of this club, with Miss Rowena Harvey serving as general chairman, have built up a system of raising money that is proving very satisfactory. Since the tea dance committee was abandoned, the lone remaining revenue collector is the concession committee. This committee under the capable cli- rection of Miss Nell Covalt and Miss Mary Pocock, sells candy, coca cola, ice cream bars, pop corn, and what have you at all the athletic contests. Those who pound the Cinder path, rain or shine, during the football season, also walk around the gym to sell concessions during the basketball season. Clar- ence Freeman was in charge of the coca cola stand and Max Stobaugh assisted him. Ar the sweet tooth stand, otherwise called the candy stand, was Maxine Sterling and Eileen Goddard. In charge of the ice cream stand was Carl Goodwin, and he was assisted by Mary Griffith. The Boosters in charge of the pop corn machine were Phyllis Baldwin and Delores Menefee, who worked together in one shift, and John Virts and Paul Johnson, who worked to- gether in another shift. The dispensers of the hard-earned revenue are the decoration committee and the yell leaders. The decorators leave their mark on the school at every football and basketball game, and at the Lettermen's and National Honor Society banquets. Miss Blanche Hutto serves as head of this division. She is as- sisted by Marjorie Dyer, Bea Etzler, Jack Hodell, Bill Morgan, Irene Schultz, and Dick Greene. Och- ers who lent their artistic ability for this purpose were Julia Anne Smith, Doris Stamets, Veriene Wiedleman, Marilyn Dennis, Kenneth Tba, Rosella Foutz, Constance Hirshy, LaVerne Holloway, and Lester Oppenlander. Last, but certainly by no means least, comes the committee which is known for its pep and enthus- iasm, the yell leaders. Mr. A. W. Heine is in charge of this committee. These dynamic promoters of pep, cheer, and school spirit, namely Sam Hite, Tom Gallmeyer, Bob Crankshaw, Bud Lampton, and Ed Kettler, present skits and introduce new songs and yells. Of course, the Booster members receive some First Row: Miss Nlary Pocock, M. Dennis, V. Weidelman, G. Hardendorf, B. Junk, M. Dyer, D. Stamets, sort of COITXPCIISHITOH fO!.'

The members of the dec- oration committee may N also attend one of the nfs, 98 two banquets for which they decorate. The mem- bers of the concession committee derive anoth- er type of compensation from their work. Be- cause of the activities in which they participate, they develop self-conli- dence and self-reliance. So, with these capable club directors and assist- ants, one can easily see that, t'When they boost the school, they really Booster! THE TOTEM 1940 LITERARY LOVERS, THESE LASSIES By BETTY MARQUARDT To write poetry was the desire of a group of girls who aroused enough interest to organize a poetry club. The girls, under the sponsorship of Miss Myra Esarey, chose the name Meterite since they wrote meters, hence, in 1925, the Meterite Club was organized. To be able to enter the club, one must write Fifty lines of poetry. The requirements, however, have been changed along with the pro- gram of the club, so that now the requirements are an English grade of B and passing grades in all other subjects. To further develop interest in and appreciation of good literature and to encourage wholesome friendships are the foremost aims of the organiza- tion. ln 1927, Miss Susen Peclc became the sponsor and still holds that position in the club today. Last semester, the Meterite Club officers were Car- olyn Snoke, president, Janice Tremper, vice-presi- dent, Mary Louise Feller, secretary, and Mary Ellen Barrett, treasurer. Under the capable leadership of Ellen Harry, program chairman, the members of the club enjoyed very interesting programs. Each semester the girls chose a theme to be fol- lowed throughout the semester, and, last semester, the chosen theme was radio. To arouse interest among the members, the girls tool: a trip to Fort Wayne radio stations, WOWO and WGL. Ac later meetings, the girls gave broadcasts, using scripts and radio skits written by the members. The activities which highlighted the pro- gram were a skating party at Bell's rink and a delightful Christmas party. The president of Me- terite Club the spring semester was Janice Tremper. Other officers were Nancy Cherry, vice-president, Bernadirie Lochner, treasurer, and Grace Johnson, secre- tary. The social chair- man was Margaret Mey- er, and the publicity was taken care of by Mary Louise Wilson. The music was furnished by Patricia Harruff. As the theme of the club this last term was drama, the girls were interested in amateur presentations. The first play of the sem- ester, 'KAll's Fair , was directed by Phyllis Stras- burg, and the second play, Dear Aunt Marie'7, was produced under the direction of Ann Haller. Some of the cast of these plays were Marilyn Gregg, Mary Louise Wilson, Ellen Motz, Patricia Underhill, Jean Stewart, Harriet Shinniclc, and Phyllis Wefel. The last play of the year, a delightful comedy called Hour Poor Dear , was presented. The play was under the direction of Ann Haller. A few of the members of this cast were Jean Foreman, Phyllis Wefel, Betty McKay, and Harriet Shinniclc. A pan- tomime called Cupid Wins Z to 1 was under the direction of Mary Louise Feller. The characters of this pantomime were Jane Chenoweth, Patty Diet- riclc, Nancy Fishering, and Nancy Cherry. The pro- gram chairman for the semester was Kathryn Kix- miller. A very beautiful and outstanding event, the Mother-Daughter Tea, was held by the Meterites in May. Completing its fifteenth year, Meterite Club stands out as one of the most popular and active clubs in South Side. First Row: C. Harrison, M. Myer, A. Rediger, D.

The majority may possibly prefer listening to swing rather than classical music. However, there are many South Siders who do love music-love it well enough to give up part or all of their lunch periods besides time outside school hours in order to take part in the band, orchestra, or chorus, the three major divisions of the music department. Six or more hours are spent each week in practice by the band. The band meets for practice regu- larly on Tuesday and Thursday the fourth and fifth periods and on Monday night from 7 to 9 o'clock. It sometimes meets Friday the fourth period. The orchestra practices the fourth period on Monday, Wednesday, and usually Friday, and the chorus meets for practice Monday, Wednesday, and Friday the fifth period. This large department is under the direction of one man, Jack Wainwright. Jack has been very ably conducting the band, orchestra, and chorus for seven years and has given more fame and spirit to the department every year. A ten-day concert tour taken the last of April was the biggest feature of the band this year. The band, traveling by bus, played at several high schools throughout Ohio and in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The band played two concerts a day, one in the afternoon for the high school students and one in the evening for the parents of these students. The tour was entirely self-supporting, the members of the Archer band lodging and eating their evening meals and breakfasts at the homes of the members of the high school bands in the cities where they visited. Besides playing on the tour, the band took a major part in the monthly music assemblies held during school hours for the students, faculty, and parents, and played at pep sessions, football and basketball games, and parades. The Parent-Teach- ers Association sponsored concerts given by the band in order to raise money for the music depart- ment, particularly money for new uniforms. Being outfitted with uniforms was about the most pleasant thing that could have happened to the band members, as they had been suffering from lack of such for y'ars and yiars, as it were. Special conductors at the various concerts during the year included Dr. Clarence Cameron White, famous negro composer, Rubinoff, and A1 German- son, from Columbus, Ohio, who conducted the or- chestra and chorus in practice for several weeks. Student soloists were Katherine Beckman, June Flaig, Emalyn Remmel, Albert Verweire, Don Burns, John Wells, Ruth Dauner, and Erleen Lee. Baton twirlers were Albert Verweire, Gloria Gumpper, and Jack Cargile. Although the band seemed to take the most promi- nent part in the music department's activities during the year, the orchestra and chorus took their parts very well, too. The orchestra played at many of the music assemblies besides accompanying the chorus in the operetta. The chorus, too, performed at the music assemblies. As in past years, the chorus went carolling during the Christmas season in major places of business in the downtown section of Fort Wayne. 100 THE TOTEM 1940 IT'S MUTINY ON THE HIGH C The chorus was accom- panied by the band. f'Stephan Foster was given as the annual oper- etta presented by the chorus. The orchestra also took a major part in this. Those taking lead- ing parts and their un- derstudies in the oper- etta were Peggy Zirkel, Katherine Beckman, Chuck Close, Constance Hirschy, Emalyn Rem- mel, Wayne Wright, Bob Jamison, John Meyers, Mary Whittern, and Gloria Staley. South Side's instru- mental trio has existed for several years now and has grown in fame every year. As the mem- bers of the trio graduate, others take their places. This year the trio is com- posed of Richard Stras- burg, pianog Ruth Daun- er, cello, and Alice Jean Light, violin. The trio plays both popular and classical music and has played at music assem- blies, as well as banquets and group meetings in First Row: P. Hubartt, C. Bremer, W. Spore, N. Whetsel, B. Kammeyer, M.

LaVonia Spore is the chief cook and bottle washer and may be seen in the music office most any time of day or night working at anything from A to Z and finding little time to while away. LaVonia is in charge of the music with Elizabeth Kelso's aid. Lucy Smith, the future music teacher, is right at LaVonia's side always helping the music depart- ment as much as she can. Lucy also has charge of uniforms. Of course, there are still others who help a great deal, but they are too numerous to mention. Lovers of music-real music, are different from other people somehow, and so we members of South Side's music department have something dif- ferent about us--loving music.

Approximately one hundred sixty pu- pils are engaged at work in the various offices and departments of the school as general office workers, bookkeepers, session room workers, and messengers. Service Club was founded in 1936 by Mr. A. Verne Flint. As very few meetings are held during the school year, this club has no executive committee. Mr. Flint appointed Marjorie Hopkins general chair- man of the social activities for the fall semester. She was assisted in arrangements for the potluck which was held December 5 in the cafeteria by Saf- forcl McMyler, program chairman, Don Hensch, in- vitations, and Patty Lambrakis, menu chairman. Maxine Sterling Opened the entertainment with a Sophisticated Swing which was followed by a tap dance by Orleda Braun and Marjorie Williams. Joan Smith presented a tap dance and sang. After Phyl- lis Stein offered an accordion selection, the group enjoyed themselves by some community singing. Marjorie Hopkins appointed Mary Emily Seibt gen- eral chairman for the spring semester. Last year a point system was devised. A list of all the students doing service work and the type of work they are doing is kept filed in Mr. Flint's of- fice. At the end of a semester or at the end of the period of time for which a student serves, the teacher is required to turn in an individual report of the number of hours the stu- dent has worked and the total number of points he has earned. One point is given for each hour of service rendered. If work is given to a stu- dent to be done at home, two points are given for each hour of service clone at home. Pins are awarded for meritorious work in Service Club. A bronze pin is awarded to the student who has earned 300 points, a sil- ver pin is given for 450 points, and a gold pin for 600 points. These pins are awarded at the Service Recognition As- sembly which is held on Friday of Service Week in April. 102 S OF FUN Mary Emily Seibt, working 921 hours, has acquired the highest number of points. The following people have also earned a large amount of points: Margaret Niblick, 806, Eleanor Schelper, 651, Marjorie Hop- kins, 618, Phyllis Frisinger, 553, and Phyllis Bran- ning, 519. During the First semester, more students were en- gaged at locker guard posts than at any other posi- tion. Mr. Ura Davis was assisted by twenty-four pu- pils. Mr. Wilburn Wilson had twenty-one helpers working for him, Miss Gretchen Smith, fourteen, Mr. A. Verne Flint, thirteen, and Mrs. Lillian Scott, twelve. Approximately thirty-four students were aid- ing twenty other members of the faculty in their work. Mr. Davis had the most students, forty-eight, working for him during the second semester. Forty- three was the next highest number of students in service work, these helpers aided Miss Smith. Twenty-five students were engaged by Mrs. Scott as locker guards. Mr. Wilson, Miss Pittenger, Mrs. Scott, and Mr. Flint were aided by seventeen, eleven, ten, and eight students, respectively. Other faculty members, numbering twenty-five, supervised fifty- four helpers in service work. The service worker, while gaining valuable experi- ence, has a genuine interest in his work and strives to do his best at all times. First Row: M. Dyer, B. Pressler, V. Guebard, R. Herb, D. Hcnch, R.

THE TOTEM 1940 LET'S SALUTE THE S MEN By DAVID ROTH The Lettermen's Club was organized in the fall 4 of 1924 with a total membership of nineteen. The club was organized for the purpose of bring- ing the athletes of the different varsity sports together to act as a po- tential unit to aid in the betterment of South Side High School. Through- out the history of this club, its members have been noted for their character and good sportsmanship. To become one of these popular lettermen, a boy must earn a total of two hundred points by participation in any of the varsity sports of- fered in South Side. Many of the athletic- minded boys who enter South Side have as one of their big ambitions the desire to become a varsity letterman. Much hard work and good sportsmanship are needed to obtain one of these letters, and, therefore, a letter is looked upon as a high honor by those boys who receive them. Because of these qualifications and high standards which a boy must maintain to become a letterman, only a limited group of those boys out for athletics receive this high honor. enbuel, B. Klotz, B. Schultz. This year. the club has been under the leadership of LeRoy Cook, president, Dave Roth, vice-presi- dentg and Robert Hines, secretary-treasurer. These officers, with the aid and advice of Mr. A. Verne Flint, have been successful in carrying on the good name and high standards of the club. The outstanding event of the year in which the Lettermen's Club participated was a Good Citizen- ship Campaign. The Lettermen's Club, assisting the Social Science Club, was successful in launching the good citizenship campaign, which promoted better sportsmanship and school spirit among the students of South Side. The Lettermen again had their annual Lettermen's dance. This year, the dance had the theme of the Lettermen,s Varsity Swing and was successful, with Gene Sheridan's orchestra presenting the musical notes. First Row: I., Cook, B. Porter. R. Wuttke, B.

This year the banquet was a great success, with good food and fine speakers as contributing factors. Speeches were made by Mr. R. Nelson Snider, Mr. Ora Davis, Mr. Williaxn Fox, of The Indianapolis News, and all three of the varsity coaches. As has always been the custom, each individual letterman was invited by one of the members of the faculty, and in this way the teachers and the lettermen be- come better acquainted. After the good meal, speeches, and a lot of fun, another successful Let- termen's Banquet came to a close, with several proud new lettermen receiving their awards. Other events in which the lettermen participated were the annual picnic and potluck. They aided in beautifying the school and contributed to many other worthy causes. The club was very fortunate to receive the first Lettermen's Banner which was made and given to the club this year by Miss Erma Dochterinan. The Lettermenis Club owes much thanks and apprecia- tion to Miss Dochterman for the presentation of a much valued and needed banner. The 1939-40 Lettermen's Club has been one of the most outstanding groups because of the con- geniality, high scholarship, and school spirit. 103 THE TOTEM 1940 THEY WRANGLE A LOT TO A GREAT EXTEMP By DOROTHY FOELLINGER Wranglers have reached new heights in the year 1939-40. Cne of the main reasons for this is the excellent leadership of its officers and its adviser, Mrs. Rieke. The officers for the lirst semester were Tom Gallmeyer, president, Joyce McAlister, vice- presidentg Charlene McAtee, secretary, Sam Bacon. treasurer, Ed Meyer, Inter-Club Congress represen- tative, Bob Safer, parliamentariang and Bob Brooks and Bud Lampton, sergeants-at-arms. The Wrangler year was started with the annual get-together weiner bake at Foster Park on Septem- ber 25. Everyone had a great time sitting around the bonfire and playing a game of charades. The first important contest of the semester was the first Wranglers Extemp. First place winners were Tom Gallmeyer and Bob Safer, who will be awarded Wrangler extemp medals. Second place winners were James Murphy and Bob Robinson, and third place was won by Bruce Bradbury. One of the most outstanding meetings of the whole year was the Thanksgiving meeting. It was conducted by the freshman and sophomore mem- bers of the club who put on a clever radio skit. On December 1, after making certain that every- one had his toothbrush packed, the public speakers First Row: F. Collins, P. Harruff, M. Gregory, C. Snoke, Nl. Case, M. Cleland, S. Roebel, J.

The 1940 Archer football squad battled its way through the cur- rent football season backed whol- ly by drive. Being exceptionally small. the Archers were forced to resort to some other department other than size in order to come out on the winning side of the grid contests. The outstanding example of this was in the North Side gameg time after time, the Archers out- charged the North Siders only to be overcome by superior size in the shadow of the goal post. However, this was not the case in all the contests and the Arch- ers, spirit carried them to victory in five out of eight contests. .iii ...l THE TOTEM 1940 l .4 y g R ,A'L .1 . a n El .2:,,: ,:z.v V ,A aa V I 434W y f 5 .. f.,. l 5 in j , .,:' 5 2 B 41 First Row: Roy Demetre, Carl Braden, Bill Schultz, Bill Steup, LeRoy Cook, Dave Roth, Dick Birkenhuel, Bob Adams, Byron NlcCammon.

South Side, playing a steady and well coordinated brand of ball all season, established the best seasonal record for a major Indiana high school team, winning 17 of their 20 games. The Archers lost to Elwood in their fifteenth game for their first defeat, 26-28. Later, South Side lost to their city rival, North Side, 34-383 and then, in the Archers' last game of the season, they lost to a very slow-moving Jeffersonville team, 13-16. Scores for the regular season basketball games are: South Side 34, Kendallville 253 South Side 34, Bluff- ton 243 South Side 24, Vincennes 203 South Side 39, Crawfordsville 233 South Side 39, Burris-Muncie 263 South Side 36, Horace Mann-Gary 223 South Side 34, Central Catholic 323 South Side 33, North Side 303 South Side 34, Froebel 323 South Side 47, Central 373 South Side 41, Auburn 253 South Side 50, Hartford City 193 South Side 36, Connersville 323 South Side 26, Elwood 283 South Side 59, Huntington 23, South Side 34, North Side 383 South Side 44, Central 333 South Side 30, Kokomo 233 South Side 44, New Albany 223 South Side 13, Jeffersonville 16. The regular starting five who sparked the Archers to the top rung among the state fives were Ralph Ham- ilton, Don Hire, Bob Hines, Blackie Braden, and Keith Spiker. Boys who saw a great deal of action through- out the season as reserves were Dick Doermer, LeRoy Cook, Chick Shimer, Gus Feistkorn, and Bryce Augs- burger. In state tournament play South Side had an easy time up to the New Castle game. Then in the New Castle game. South Side at the first half was behind by eight points. The lights went out and the teams rested for over a half hour. This rest was all South Side needed3 and they edged the Trojans by two points, 34-32. Two weeks passed and South Side then lost that eventful game to the big Mitchell squad by 23-20. However, new boys are coming up to the varsity who should be able to form another top team in the state. Some of these boys are veterans Bob Hines, Chick Shi- mer, Bryce Augsburger, and Gus Feistkorn, and Bill Knoll, Doyle Shirk, Tom Brower, Bill Siebold, Gene McClain, Eugene Reichert, Ralph Vetter, Dallas Zuber, and Bill Miller.

The Green won eight out of ten meets, conquering the vaunted North Side Redskins in two of these. In the Kokomo Relays, the Kelleys placed fourth, two-fifths of a point behind North Side, while in the Conference meet they led the Chambers- men. 85 to 77. The performance was repeated in the Sectional meet when we again conquered North Side, 55 to 47. By virtue of the Sectional meet, South Side qualified eight men in the State meet. These boys are Altman, Adams, Cook, Parry, Wuttke, Shi- mer, Close, and Vogel. This year's team was really a record-breaker. The mile relay team broke the school record at the Conference meet, Vogel broke both the school and the Sectional high hurdles record, and Wuttke did the same for the broad jump. LeRoy Cook clipped two seconds off the Sectional mile record. This fine season and the records are the result of cooperation and a lot of hard work on the part of the boys. Yet, without the able leader- ship of Coach George Collyer all of these fine things would not be true. Upper Left: Our hard-working track coach, George Collyer.

Louie , as he is called by his many friends and sporting associates, has given to this school one of the finest intramural programs in the entire country. ln intramural sports, the small boy is given a fair 114 sions to the system, the heavy- weight, lightweight, and middle- weight. Through competition in the 'mural games and various leagues, many good varsity men have been produced. Hence it is seen that the intramural system has two basic principles-first of all, to develop a clean mind in the youth of our school, and, second- ly, to produce fine athletes to carry on the banners of the Green and White. Last fall, the intramural partici- pants turned their attention to the golf links about Fort Wayne, and many came back to post near-par marks for their efforts. Most of the mashie swinging was done at the Brookwood layout, and the brooks and hills of this course did not cost the Archers many strokes. The outstanding intramural golf- ers form the Archer varsity team, so the competition for a berth on the golf squad lends further im- petus to the would-be pros. Along with the golf came the tennis tour- ney, which event proved to be hotly contested from start to fin- ish. Although this activity was short-lived, the matches were all good and furthered the purpose of providing good clean sport. With winter coming on, the boys then turned to cross country and horseshoe for prospective glory. Almost one hundred lads reported for the sprinting, but the turnout for the barnyard golf indicated the comparative lack of interest in that type of sport. Elmer Gumbert led the lightweights to the tape in the cross country, and gave promise to follow his brother as a great runner. Tag football, always a favorite with all, again proved its seemingly undying popularity when the l Upper left: Jim McClure, middleweight foul throwing champ, and Paul Dam- meier, heavyweight bowling victor.

The individual squads each boasted of six men to carry their colors. The middleweight di- vision was non existent in this ac- tivity so that all action was listed under either light or heavy heads. Handball, as usual, proved very popular with the results in most cases leaning toward the pre-fa- vorites. Robert Baals was named the victor in the heavy singles, while Byron Mccammon and Dick Shinn retained their laurels in the doubles class of the same division. Ralph Ludwig was victorious in the singles, and the combination of Ludwig and Eugene Nahrwold proved to be too good for the middleweights. Ralph Meyers cop- ped first honors in the light singles, while Boese and Hershey looked too good for the held in the doubles. Of all sports, hand- ball seemed to be giving the com- petitors the most thrills. Along with the other sports, the new year brought in bowling and foul throwing, two sports which re- quire accuracy more than physical exertion. Paul Dammeier dropped the greatest number of the pins in the middleweight division, while Bob Miller and Austin Harrison were outrolling their mates in the other fields. Ralph Meyers proved to be the best foul shooter of the lighter boys, and Jim McClure paced the middies. Howard Bolyard and Don Stroebel hit the most charity flips for the heavyweight boys, so that to these lads went the dis- tinction of being outstanding intramural athletes. The most popular of all sports, that of basketball, produced its usual thrill-packed encounters. Three teams had the distinction of being victors over the fifty-squad held. The basketball season was very successful this year in that the finest teams did come through their grinds, and in addition the competi- tion and sportsmanship was of a high type. Several other sports have graced and shall con- tinue to move during the remainder of the term over the mural road, but having touched on the big business of the year, it seems that a final parting tribute is due the South Side physical education staff. Mr. Friddle and Mr. Briner have capably handled all activities and have taught good sports- manship to the youth of the school. 115 THE TOTEM 1940 GAA GAA ABOUT ATHLETICS By PAULINE WERLING Come on, girls, let's win this game. This is one of the usual last-minute instructions given by the captain of a team just before a game. The Girls' Athletic Association has just closed its books on another successful season of activity under the able leadership of Miss Gretchen Smith, Miss Alice Dean. and the officers of G.A.A. Worthy of the distinction of being the largest club in the school is the Girls, Athletic Association, which boasts a membership of over 400 girls. Nearly every sport which anyone can hope for is featured in the G.A.A. sports calendar, starting with tennis at the beginning of the fall term and ending with a track meet in the spring. This year's ofiicers for G.A.A. were Jeanne Smith, president, Hertha Hoffman, vice-president, Geneva Martin, secretaryg,Lucile Scheumann, treasurer, Betty Hargan, manager of sports, Marian Faux, freshman representative, and Mary Alice Dunten, Inter-Club Congress representative. The season was started with a tennis tourney for all classes. The class winners were Agnes Seiler, senior, Jeanne Smith, junior, Kathleen Neith, sopho- more, and Marian Faux, freshman. Much credit is due Marian, since she took the championship of the school while only a freshman. All the uppcrclassmen enjoyed hockey and the senior team proved to be too experienced for the others and went through the season with an unde- feated championship. Members of the team were Dorothe Beyrau, Florence Dickmeyer, Ruth Doehla, Marian Feichter, Ruth Hoover, Maxine Hudson, l-Iertha Hoffman, Deloris Menefee, June Neith, Lu- cile Scheumann, Deloris Ulrich, Eileen Schelper, and Pauline Werling, captain. The speedball winners in the freshman tourna- ment were the members of jo Ann Spore's team composed of Phyllis Amstutz, Miriam Baumgartner, June Bebout, Marilyn Bullerman, Patty Dietrick, Gloria Gumpper, Phyllis Graue, Dorothy Lisius, Betty McKay, Marjorie Pressler, Kathleen Lucas, Joan Schwartz, Maxine Laup, Virginia Busse. Mir- iam Abbott, Eileen Ireland, and Donna Peel. Both championship teams should be given much credit for their good team work. On October 20, the annual Halloween Party, G.A.A.,s hrst social event of the year, was held with approximately 200 girls attending in original cos- tumes. A Grand Nlarch was held during which the most originally dressed girls were awarded prizes. Frances Nash and Eva Jean Wylie were awarded first and second prizes. Other winners were Reba Coppock, Delaine Rose, Jo Ann Spore, Kathleen Sanders, Ann Pontius, and Betty Clem. The next sport offered was basketball, which is the sport most enjoyed by all the girls. The winning upperclass team was the sophomore 1, captained by Rose Stemen. Other members of the team were Ruth Aldafifer, Betty Baker, Betty Bligh, Joan Dut- terer, Pat Ehle, Myrtle Ernst, Pauline Gregory, Kath- leen Neith, Bernice O,Brien, Eleanor Traycoff.

D 'X X, To sixty seniors of rhe 1940 grad- uating class of South Side High went honorable recognition in the form of National Honor Society memberships. In order for a senior to become a member of this organization, he must possess certain qualifications. He must be outstanding in scholarship, leader- ship, character, and service during the years he attended South Side High School.

These sixty seniors were elected to the National Honor Society on March 26. Throughout the class periods on that day, former members tagged the new members. Several were an- nounced each periodg and, at the end of the day, they were honored at an assembly in the gymnasium. They were further honored at a banquet held at the Plymouth Congregational Church on May 9. LEADERSHIP . . . SCHOLARSHIP . . .

In the years to come, however, we shall have the happy memories of our high school Clays. Officers of the senior class play an important part in guiding the activities of their class throughout the year. These positions are usually filled by both boys and girls, but the results of the election in our senior year showed that the boys were going to take over Caps and gowns. About the time these Totems come out, uhe Seniors will be proudly wearing theirs to Recognition Day ceremonies, Baccalaureate services, and Graduation exer- cises. This picture of last year's graduates on Recogni- tion Day will help to recall the Final events of this year. 34 Senior Class Advisers: Mr. Paul Sidell and Miss Dorothy Magley. Standing, left to right: James Murphy, Secretary, Richard Doerrner, S o c i al Council, Bruce Klotz, Chairman of So- cial Councilg Thomas Gall- meyer, Vice President, Wil- liam Riethmiller, President. all the duties for their class. Among the outstanding events were the Senior Play, Fun Fest, Ivy Day, Rec- ognition Day, Baccalaureate Services, Senior Dance, and finally Commencement Day. The officers this year have done a great job and given us a happy year. Drchids to our class advisers, Miss Dorothy Magley and Mr. Paul Sidell, for their splendid supervision. It is generally conceded that Recognition Day is ample reward for the four years of work each stu- dent puts in. This day marks the end of the seniors' high school days, and they end their high school career appropriately robed in their caps and gowns.

First on the junior activity list was the annual fall ban- quet, Antarctic Antics. Then in the spring, the class pooled their wits from which grew the Maytime Medley, the Junior Prom. Besides having fun with social activities, these juniors were very capable in doing things which re- quired hard work of a different nature. This year there were many fine public speakers who went to state speaking contests, and returned home with honors. Also two state musical awards were brought back by two talented students. Without a doubt The South Side Times had a bigger attraction for this group of students than any other club activity. It is a certain fact that these il- lustrious juniors will undoubtedly make a spendid senior class. Jolly Juniors-that is the class of 1941. X class chock-full of ready, willing, and able tudents who have made their third year a olly one, not only for themselves, but for he whole school. The swell times that were had at the Junior Banquet and Junior ,rom will claim an honored place in many a nemory book. The juniors made a jovial start this year with their annual junior Banquet, Antarc- ic Antics . The theme, as the name incli- ates, pertained to the South Pole and was leverly decorated to convey this idea. Ant- .rctic maps, penguins, eskimo dogs, and hips were used to create the atmosphere. lqhe whole procedure was cleverly worked rut by Marjorie Dyer and her committee. Bob Hines, the junior class president, erved as toastmaster. The first speaker that ie introduced was James McClure, whose alk was entitled uGeologic Recordu. Su- xerintendent Merle Abbett did his bit to :mphasize the theme by speaking on Un- :xplored Mountainsw. Crevases,' was the itle of Miss Pittenger's speech. She was 'ollowed by that well-known personality, the ast speaker, R. Nelson Snider, who discuss- rd Expedition Personnel . The guests were entertained by Mildred -lankee and Elaine Hirschy, who verified 'heir ability as pianists, by playing a duet. lihose who performed equally well were Emalyn Remmel, Ruth Dauner, Elaine -Iirschy, and Helen Savage, who sang sev- :ral selections, and June Flaig, who played he harp. The humorous touch was added by Mar- :in Gernand, Fred Schweir, and Dick Green who performed in a clever skit. The idea of the skit was suggested by Admiral Byrd's Snow Cruiser and the difficulties that it encountered. In a successful attempt to end the ban- quet with a jolly spirit, the guests sang parodies composed by Alice Hall, jean Weil, and Kathryn Kuntz. The singing was led by Charles Close. Well established is the fact that the high spot of the year was the junior Prom. The theme of this year's prom was May- time Medley . All decorations were carried out in a musical fashion. The dancers were dwarfed by enormous musical notes sus- pended on a brilliant array of color. The more popular of the current song hits were suggested by clever drawings, which were neatly placed amid the clef signs and notes that encircled the gym. Dangling from the musically designed pro- grams were small toy horns. Paul Danneck- er and his orchestra furnished the music. Tom Gallmeyer interrupted the dance to announce gloriously that South Side had, for the first time in seven years, won the city track meet. N .

The success of these affairs was due to the excellent leadership of their class president, Bob Hines, secretary and treas- urer, Faye Gumpper, Social Council, Jim McClure, Sam Bacon, and Bob Robinson. The advisers are Miss Hazel Miller and Mr. Lloyd Whelan. The Times seems to have a great attrac- tion for a large per cent of the class. Those who have been outstanding are Faye Gump- per, news editor, Marjorie Sheldon, busi- ness manager, Bob Robinson, editorial page editor, Lois Gumpper, classroom news edi- tor and circulation assistant, John Bonsib, business manager, Sam Bacon, room agent, Charlene McAtee, editorial and fashion writer, Delores Daniels, editorial and fash- ion writer, Gloria Werkinan, circulation as- sistant, Bob and Jim Brooks, advertising solicitors, Hilda Schubert, assistant audi- tor, Dick Gallmeyer, editorial writer, Louis Hallenstein, editorial and feature writer and general manager of the April Fool issue. The junior class is the proud possessors of some very talented musicians. Marilyn Sondles placed in the State Contest, in the first division of the pianos, Alice Jean Light placed in the State Contest, in the first di- vision of the violins. The school is quite often entertained by the delightful singing of Emalyn Remmel and Kathryn Beckman. Other musical-minded juniors are Hilda Schubert, Faye Gumpper, and June Flaig. Fourteen juniors are willing to sacrifice several hours of their busy weelc to serve the students in the library, namely, Lois and Faye Gumpper, Mildred Hanlcee, Bob Wy- lie, Ruth Dauner, Betty Koehler, Sam Ba- con, Clifford Mattson, Ralph Herb, Rebecca Abbett, Lester Oppenlander, Marjorie Dyer, Paul Keil, and Marjorie Sheldon. To a team that has no equal. This statement is substantially supported by a healthy number from the class of 1941. Among this group, the more proficient are Bob Hines, Gus Feistkorn, Bryce Augsbur- ger, in basketball, Ralph Vetter, in football, and Rudolph Wuttke, in track. Others who, if we are mentioning the best in junior athletics, cannot be omitted are: Charles Underwood, a football indulgent, Bill Siebold, noted for his track achieve- ments, Edward Miller, both track and bas- ketball, Dave Stalte, intramural, cross coun- try, basketball, volleyball, baseball, and foul throwing, Dick Schieferstein, intramural bowling, volleyball and boxing, Wayne Lud- wig, basketball and baseball. The juniors who willingly helped to bring about the success of both the banquet and the prom are: Irene Meyer, Sam Bacon. Alice Sweet, Rozella Foutz, Betty Lou Stein, Barbara Brower, Jean Simmers, Mary Cowan, Doyle Shirk, Shirley Rubin, Har- riette Greer, Betty Horstmeyer, Mildred Hankee, Eva jean Wfylie, Hilda Shubert, Ruthann Archer, Margaret Brower, Evalyn Erickson, Don Parkinson, John Bonsib, Ed- ward Kettler, Maurine Leas, Mary Bowlby, Jean Weil, Betty Harrison, Marjorie Mc- Mahon, Dorothy Cooper, and Marilyn Hull.

The junior public speaking activity has been energeti- cally supported by Bob Safer, who won the Wranglers' Oratorical Declamation medal and represented South Side in the Rotary Discussion Contest. Marjorie Sheldon, who is now the business manager of The Tim-ts, will distinguish herself next year by fulfill- ing the position of general manager of The Times. Another enthusiastic Times member is John Bonsib. John has been rewarded for his effective efforts on the Times by being awarded the position of Totem editor. This year the junior class has had some- thing very unusual in their midst. It was one of those things that made a person look twice to be sure he was not seeing double. All this was caused by seven pairs of twins: Bob and Jim Brooks, Eva Jean and Bob Wylie, Ed and Don Meyers, Lois and Faye Gumpper, Ralph and Richard Seemeyer, Dick and Bill Dreyer, and Marilyn and Carolyn Emrick. It is customary for Miss Marjorie Suter in the spring of each year to direct two one- act plays in which the juniors take part. This year Niiss Suter selected two very clever short plays entitled, Red Carnations and Spreading the News . Some of the jun- iors who gave an excellent performance in these plays were: Bob Wylie, Ed and Don Meyers, Jim and Bob Brooks, and Ellen McKay, who took Charlene McAtee's part because of illness. Those who attended will not forget the exuberant effort and high quality of acting so liberally displayed by Rebecca Abbett, Charles Close, and Paul Keil in the dramatization of Red Carna- tions . From this fine, Hourishing, creative h, ..-. , .,,. .,,.. ,.. -- u. ii, nf ii, ld gs la group of jolly juniors, Miss Suter will find it an easy task to obtain a cast willing to cooperate and work diligently in order to produce the type of play which she has been known for in the past. Having successfully completed their jun- ior year they now find themselves prepared for the fourth and most decisive year in their high school career. They will prob- ably find themselves reminiscing over vivid memories so deeply carved into the depths of their souls. At the same time their minds are directed into the future with high hopes and aspirations of fulfilling standards set up by their predecessors. The class of 41 , for the past three years, has very efficiently upheld the school name to the high degree that it is generally known for. A survey of this class would make known the fact that its rank, scholastically, has been at a constant high. Such a survey would also bring out the fact that the extra- curricular activities of South Side have thrived healthfully upon the energetic sup- port of these jolly juniors. Much hope and faith are placed in these juniors, concerning their future rank as seniors. However, we are sure, that with the brand of work that has been previously displayed by them, they will efficiently F111 the senior shoes. Ever since the erection of our far-famed South Side High in 1922, the student body has been expanding, and as the student body expands, student supervision and instruction must also expand. As a result of this ex- pansion, it was found last summer that the addition of a second floor would be im- perative. We are sure that this junior class and many junior classes to come, will be thankful for this improvement. Charming Lola Rodriquez , Tiny Jeanie Weil . Louie Hallenstein, better known as LOU .

The Capering Sophomores have come out on top for the second time by making their class activities interesting and beneficial. The most outstanding feature of the year was the Calico Capers, many a memory book will mark this event never to be forgotten. There were many sophomores who spolce their way to honors by bringing home the bacon from many public speaking contests. Since their aim was high, many excelled themselves in sports. Do not forget it is the sophomores who have helped in the publication of The Times to make it both a state and national winner. Clubs of every type have been able to say they were successful because of these up-and-coming young ones. South Side may well be proud of her sophomores who have only made a beginning but also promise to bring home many more laurels to add to South Side's crown. 64 And a marvelous time was had by all. Such were the remarks of the up-and-coming sophomores as they talked long afterwards of their biggest event of the year. What are we raving about? Why, the sophomore party, of course. The theme was Calico Capers. As every sophomore looks back on this successful party, many happy thoughts and pictures will flash through his mind. Each sophomore may have the feeling that this party was the climax of many worthwhile achievements of his second year at South Side. If you were not cured of that winter hangover when you heard the theme of the Sophomore party, you certainly were after seeing the gay decorations. There was a low dropped ceiling in varied colors. The walls had a white background with capering figures of boys and girls in gay calico prints. The boys and girls were as gay as the prints Jn the walls. The evening was spent in mis- :ellaneous dancing and lively games. The :afeteria beckoned to these light-hearted stu- :lents with inviting placecards and appetiz- ng food. Here are the leaders who made this Cal- co Capers a never to be forgotten festivity: Ralph Shimer, president, Marjorie McNabb, lice-president, Rose Stemen, secretary-treas- .irerg and Tom Brower, Warren Cook, and Vlarilyn Loomis, social council. The silent, :ut most valuable ones, the sponsors, were Vliss Lucy Osborne and Mr. Ernest Walker. The decorations were under the capable di- rection of Miss Blanch Hutto. The sopho- nore home room teachers had the distinc- tive honor of being chosen as patrons of the party. The sophomores are to be commended for the outstanding accomplishments in pub- lic speaking. Mary Ellen Barrett talked her way into winning Wranglers Humorous Dec- lamation and placing third in the State hnals at Purdue. Harold Brudi, Bob Guion, and Dick Markowitz came forth with the bright- est colors in the Oratorical Declamation. The sophomores who reached the finals in Dramatic Declamation are Alene Loeser, Mary Ellen Barrett, Pat Sanford, and Bob Guion. Those who placed highest in the North Side Invitational Tourney are Bob Guion, Harold Brudi, Joan Cox, Alene Loeser, Bud Lampton, and Marjorie Mc- Nabb. Those who reached the semi-finals of the Sophomore Speech contest are Bud Lampton, Eileen Eidner, Marjorie McNabb, Roger McVay, Dick Markowitz, Bob Guion, Ellen Harry, Harry Feaser, Pat Sanford, Lois Bloemker, Alene Loeser, Mary Ellen Barrett, Paul johnson, Betty Ann Bohn, Kent Lentz, Byron Singer, and joan Cox. Many sophomores with a bright future are the ones who help make it possible for you to read The Times each week. This group includes Dorothy Jaggers, Lois Bloemker, Sally Hobbs, Ruth Hageixnan, Ruth Werkman, Carolyn Snoke, Harriet Will, Clara Makey, Kent Lentz, John Gump- per, Barrie Tremper, Betty Hargan, Pat Burns, Mary Ellen Barrett, Virginia Gray, Margaret Kienzle, Marilyn Loomis, Dolores Reiter, Theda Tyndall, Carol Whittern.

The boys can by no means be left out when it comes to sports. Half of a boy's life is spent in participating in sports. The boys who have made a grand beginning and will be the basketball stars of tomorrow are Tom Brower, Bill Knoll, Eugene Reichart, Ralph Shimer, Bob Worman, and Dallas Zuber. Ralph Shimer helped to send our varsity to State. Intramural sports, which include cross country, volley ball, foul throwing, wrest- ling, baseball, track, carnivals, tagball, box- ing, handball, golf, bowling, ping pong, tumbling, and basketball, have given laurels to many sophomores. These are Calvin Rose, Jack Snyder, Louis Swager, William Selby, Loren Sprunger, Jack Stine, Bob Trott, Bill Wolf, Kenneth Wolman, Dallas Zuber, John Gumpper, Gene McClain, Tom Brower, Howard Bolyard, Ernest Dent.

Some of the active members were Tompsie Hall, Clara Makey, Mary Ellen Barrett, Ellen Harry, Hilda Schubert, Jan- ice Sprunger, and Gloria Kramer. Thus the end of another year comes to a close with many successful activities to look back on. The above names are only a few of the sophomore class. There are many more. In fact, each one has done something to make South Side a better school. The second year has given them a stronger foot- hold on the way to success. What the next two years holds forth no one can fell, but these second year boys and girls have started out with flying colors. In the next two years, they will be able to win new honors and make a decided place for themselves here in South Side. The end of the sophomore year seems to be the turning point in the life of a high school student, for he has now reached the half-way mark. Up to this time, he has been guided for the most part by teachersg but from now on, he must push his own way to the front. He may look back into the past. but not live in the past. High marks the first two years will not slide him through the next two. He must look into the future and make his plans carefully. All the hopes and desires that were in the back of his mind must be brought into action. The next couple of years will be spent in blooming forth and applying the knowledge that has been stored away. There must always be a few disappointmentsg but, with such a prom- ising class and with everyone cooperating, none need be disillusioned.

Ah! There is something I must not leave out, for it contributes much to our sopho- mores. I am speaking of language, no, not the English language, but the foreign lan- guage. South Side can very proudly say that the French and Latin Clubs have done much for their Alma Mater. Those sopho- mores most outstanding in Latin Club are Jenouise Babcoke, Betty Ann Bohn, Mary Louise Burt, Betty Cowan, Joan Cox, Ruth- anna Doll, Norman Fortress, Dorothy Gil- dea, Katheryn Guild, John Gumpper, Gene Lou Harges, Patsy Harruff, Ellen Harry, and Dorothy Heslip. Others in Latin Club are Sally Hobbs, Wiliima Kellogg, Naomi Koopman, Nancy McKay, Roger McVay, Richard Markowitz, John Meyers, Phyllis Rolf, Patricia Smith, Dorothy Snavely, Jan- ice Sprunger, Ionajean Tracht, Carol Whir- tern. and Marjorie Wigbel. French Club has much to say for itself. Among the Frenchies are Joanne Wagner, John Logue, Clara Makey, Rosemary Spore. Rosalie Hall, Clifford Springer, and Hilda Leininger from the second yearlings. Clifford Spring- er presided as president and John Logue as secretary, for the French Club. In fact, all of the above have been officers at one time or another. Many of the sophomores served on com- mittees for the Calico Capers. The invita- tions were in charge of Rose Stemen, chair- man, those who aided her are Carolyn Snoke, Bill McNulty, Margaret Heine, Dor- othy Jaggers, and Paul Johnson. Marilyn Burns was chairman of decorations with Lois Briggs, June Shupe, Homer Sweltzer, and Bill Weber assisting. Music was in charge of Marjorie McNabb, aided by Betty Stump and Dave Rea. Food was put into the capable hands of Marilyn Loomis and Mildred Holmes, chairmeng also assisting were Martha Scheele, Clara Makey, and Sally Hobbs. The ticket agents were the ones who urged the attendance of the light-hearted sophomores. These agents were Don Miller, Dorothy Koomjohn, Mary Carlo, Dick Bailhe, Jack Forbing, Wilrixa Pierce, Le- nora. Moyer, Bob Gunzenhauser, Kathryn Bultemeier, Keith Coverdale, Pat Smith, Ruth Ann Stiegler, Margaret Kienzle, Eth- eldrea Behling, Roger Mcvay, John Gump- per, and Alene Loeser. There is an organization which has always attracted many students, especially the Sophomores. The Student Players Club takes much time, patience, ability, and a de- sire for perfection. Certainly the following members should be mentioned, they are: Lois Hoff, Hilda Leininger, Dorothy Snave- ly, Lois Bloemker, Ruth Werkman, Marilyn Loomis, Carilyn Snoke, Rosemary Spore. Janice Sprunger, Jenouise Babcoke, Rosalie Hall, Ellen Harry, and Ilene Franke. If you ever see any of the above pacing the floor and muttering to themselves. please don't think them queer. They are probably learning lines for an S.P.C. program. Do you ever lie awake at nights wonder- ing how the last of your allowance is going to tide you over fill the next pay day? Well, I think the members of Junior Math might help you out. In fact, I will give you their names as follows: Ellen Harry, Janice Sprunger, Clifford Springer. Theda Tyndall, Carol Trenary. Ruthann Stiegler, Catherine Sommers, Mary Spiegel, Halley Reppert. - a , a' - .

Bottom Row: Victor Kaufjfman, David Link, Franklin Neff A poll of the freshman class was taken to find who were the six most outstanding students in leadership, scholarship, and service. The six students rank in the poll as they are pictured above from left to right: Wilbur Mc- Nulty, Dorothy McPherson, Betty McKay, Victor Kauffman, David Link, and Franklin Neff. Freshmen have entered many of the clubs and contests which are open to freshmen, such as the Meterites, sponsored by the English department, the G.A.A., under the supervision of the girls' gym directors, Wranglers, and the Freshman and Sophomore Speech contests. Many of the freshmen have served as members on the school publications staffs. Other clubs of interest are the Torch, French, Stamp, Girl Scouts, Serv- ice, Travel, and Inter Club Congress. Many of the boys have entered into the field of sport, which consists of ping pong, football, basl-netball, volleyball, tennis, golf, and track. 70 Entering high school this fall and at mid- semester were the students who now make up the largest class of freshmen ever to be enrolled at South Side. Not only is this class of freshmen the largest, but they are also the most outstanding scholastically and in extra-curricular activities. This year freshman classes selected in a Totem poll the most outstanding students from their division in point of leadership, scholarship, and service. These students are Wilbur McNulty, Dorothy McPherson, Betty McKay, Franklin Neff, Victor Kauf- man, David Link, Lois Craig, Thomas Yates, Robert Miller, and Gloria Gumpper. Freshman students are fortunate in having very capable home room teachers and of- ficers guiding their home room programs. In Mr. Xxfard O. Gilbert's home room 4, Mary Cleland is the class president, Robert Childers, vice-president, and Nancy Cherry, secretary. Home room 32, headed by Miss Edith Crowe, has officers elected each sem- ester. The first semester ofiicers were Rose Etha Brazy, president, Kenneth Breimeier, vice-presidentg and Wayne Brown, secretary. For the second semester, the officers were William Brandt, president, Loraine Berning, vice-president, and Mary Brown, secretary. Room 182, under the guidance of Mr. Mills, had Edward Tieman acting as presi- dent, Jim VanBuskirk as vice-president, and Nila Thayer as secretary. Room 54, direct- ed by Mr. Paul Sidell, had as its leaders Patricia Racht, president, David Romecay, vice-president, and Barbara Renz, secretary. Ward Gilbert Jr., president, and Phyllis Fry, vice-president and secretary, were the offi- cers for room 96, which is directed by Mr. -af- ai' F Louie Hull. In Miss Mary Pocock's home room 30, Victor Kaufman was elected as chairman and Fritz Kahl as vice-chairman. In home room 34, Mrs. Welty's freshmen voted Dick Shriner to be their president, Russell Siples, their vice-president, and Wayne Smith, their secretary. Virginia Sites is their program chairman. These people take care of any special events in their home room. In Mr. Post's home room 186, there is one officer, Dean McKean, who acts as chairman. Nlr. Maurice Cook's room 24 has two ofhcers. Evelyn Arnold is president, and Camille Applegate is vice-president. The big sopho- more B home room, which is located in the new study hall, has no ofhcersg but the mem- bers do have pep talks from their three teachers, who are Mr. Bill Moss, Mr. E. H. Murch, and Mr. Benjamin Null. Athletics seems to rate high in the eyes of many freshman girls, who all hope to earn their letter some day.

Many of the freshmen boys and girls have :ntered into the held of working up the tar- get around the bull's eye. The Boys' Rifle :lub is led by Mr. Cook, the Girls' by Vliss DeLancey. In the Inter-Club Congress we hnd the :lass well represented. The Junior Math :lub has taken into its realm a few of the inderclassmen. Miss Thorne has a club vhich holds interesting discussions about the 'arious parts of this ever-changing world rf ours. Unity, service, and appreciation if living is the standard which is held by he members of the U.S.A. Believe it or iot, there are freshies who become so in- erested in Latin that they join the organiza- ion in which Latin is used during the meet- ng. A few of the boys are prominent on the ootball squad. With their entering this arly, we may well expect them to bring iome the bacon in future years. Many of the freshmen have entered the visual edu- cation department which is under the guid- ance of Mr. Wilson and which has been a great aid in presenting knowledge to the students. One of the most outstanding of girls' organizations is Miss Peckis Meterite Club for 9B, 9A, and IOB girls who enjoy the study of literature. Mrs. Welty and ' Miss Kelleyys club, known as the Girl Re- 1- serves, is allied with the Y.W.C.A. The girls who are interested in home-making always , join the Wo-Ho-Ma and work with Miss 1 'Q PL N .

The club from the start has stood for courtesy and citizenship. Each of the school's thirty-three organizations elects a con- gressman to represent it, the club receives full co- operation from the home rooms in its projects and thus is a truly representative body. This year on Thanksgiving and Christmas holi- days the Congress, as it has every year since or- ganizing, again distributed Thanksgiving and Christ- mas baskets to Fort Wayne's unfortunate families. Over fifty baskets, prepared by the individual home rooms, were sent out by student drivers over the city, on both holidays. Also at Christmas time, the club decorated the Greeley Room and Room 77 with special Christ- mas decorations. Th e representatives sponsored the school- wide locker clean-up at the end of the fall sem- ester this year. Courtesy and Citizenship Week, as has been the custom in former years, was observed by the student body under the guidance of the Inter-Club COD- gress early in April. In cooperation with the Fort Wayne Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Congress supervised the special Clean-Up Week at South Side with planting and beautifica- tion projects around the school and its grounds. Several years ago the Senior Ivy Day tradition rey Hall, vice-president, Emalyn Remmel, secretary, Don Hire, treasurer, and John Virts, parliamen- tarian. The Inter-Club Congress has retained its original set of capable advisers, and their expert guidance in all of the projects, activities, and special programs in which the Congress each year takes a leading part testify to their capabilities. Miss Emma Kiefer, Mr. C. A. Bex, and Mr. A. Verne Flint handle the branches of the advisory functions of the club. The club representatives for the past year and the organizations which they represent are as follows: Vivian Semler, Three E's, Phyllis Tyndall, Library Club, Mary Alice Dunten, G.A.A., Thelma Kraus- kopf, So-Si-Y, Dolores Reiter, U.S.A., Roger McVay 'I' First Row: B.

THE TOTEM 1940 THE VISION OF THE 4 C'S By ROBERT HAGEMAN To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. That is the motto of the Hi-Y Club and the goal for which it is striving. The club, dur- ing the past year, was guided by Mr. Clyde Peirce, history instructor. The club continued the check room service at the after-game dances and at the games, and once again sold pencils having the basketball schedule on them. During the first semester, Ronald McVay, presi- dent, headed the list of officers. He was aided by Vice-President Dick Aronhalt, Treasurer Eugene Tigges, Secretary Dick Nahrwold, and Inter-Club Congress Representative Keith Spiker. First Row: D. Greyer, Gumpper, C. Clem, R.

The club meets on Thursday evenings at the Y.M.C.A. The meetings last year were divided into two parts, the first part being devoted to business and the second part being devoted to a program. During the semester several interesting speakers were heard and several films were presented. At monthly intervals, splash', parties were held in the Y pool. A Best Girl's Banquetu was held at Miller's Cafeteria and it was attended by thirty boys escort- ing, of course, thirty girls. Alex Azar was the new president for the second semester. Dther officers were: John Schotter, vice- presidentg Bob Hageman, treasurer, Bruce Brad- bury, secretary. Keith Spiker was retained as Inter- Club Congress representative. At the first meeting of the second semester the Hi-Y clubs of the city were the guests of the Phalanx fraternity, an organization of former Hi-Y members. With the exception of this First meeting, the policy of divided programs was continued, and several speakers were heard during the program period. The major accomplishment of the club during the second semester was the conducting of the 4 C's campaign. With the purpose in mind of extending throughout the school and community those high standards of Christian character, certain mysterious proceedings were car- ried on throughout the school, and the mystery of the 4 C's was revealed in a school-wide as- sembly on April 15. The four C's of living are clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. To further emphasize the campaign, pins having the 4 C's emblem were distributed to all of the students. The initial social pro- gram of the school year was a boy-girl weiner bake at Foster Park. Next, the club initiation was held. each boy learn- ing and reciting the club aim. At a district Hi-Y meeting, at which reports of the individual club's activities of the district were given, and sugges- tions were made for im- proving the Hi-Y clubs as a whole, Tom Brower, South Side junior, was elected second vice-president among next year's of- hcers. The boys also had the pleasure of hearing Mrs. Forest Moore of this city tell about her hobby. She has the favorite memory and poetic passages of celebrities all the way from Madaine Scheuman- Heink to our present President. Her collection is made the more valuable because the selections are in the person's own handwriting. Each year, the outstanding boy and girl citizens of the school are chosen by the faculty and their names are inscribed on the Hi-Y plaque, through this, the club is seeking to keep before the students its ideals. 77 THE TOTEM 1940 THESE BOOKWORMS ARE NO BORES By ELIZABETH ROSE The Library staff rnust be ready to answer all sorts of questions, ranging from, Where is this morningis newspaper? to Where could T find some informa- tion on the amount of rainfall in Borneo? They are ever ready to try to answer these questions, because each member has those qualities which lead him always to endeavor to do what is required of him. The staff is composed of fourteen juniors and fourteen seniors, all under the direction of Miss Emma Shoup. The juniors are Rebecca Abbett, Sam Bacon, Ruth Dauner, Marjorie Dyer, Faye Cwumpper, Lois Gumpper, Mildred Hankee, Ralph Herb, Paul Keil, Betty Koehler, Clifford Matson, Lester Oppenlander, Marjorie Sheldon, and Bob Wylie. The seniors on the staff are Marcia Allen, Emilou Allendorph, Laura Ellen Augsburget, Dick Dyke, Betty Ellingwood, Audrey Hall, Joyce Har- wood, Erma jackson, Helen Karnap, Bill Riethmil- ler, Elizabeth Rose, Dick Strasburg, Phyllis Tyndall, and Doris Williains. To become a member of the library staff, one must be at least a junior, must be in good standing, and must pledge to remain on the staff for at least one semester. Members of the club are assigned work during the periods of the day and after school. Each member must work two study periods and one night after Front Row: E. Jackson, E. Rose, M. Dyer, R.

After two semester,s work, a silver pin is awarded, on Recogni- tion Day those students who have faithfully worked for two years, receive a gold pin. The Library Club, which is composed of the mem- bers of the stag, meets at 4:15 o'clock on the third Tuesday of each month in the library. The officers for the first semester were president, Bill Riethmiller, vice-president, Doris Williams, secretary, Elizabeth Rose, sergeant-at-arms, Dick Strasburg, Inter-Club Congress representative, Phyllis Tyndall, and point recorder, Erma Jackson. The first meeting of the year was in the form of a Weiner bake and rough initiation of the new mem- bers. In November a book symposium was held and ten books were reviewed. From this number, each member of the staff voted for two books, and those receiving the most votes were purchased for the li- brary. The books selected by the staff were Our Erniei' and The Heroes. The December meeting was in the form of a Christmas party. Community singing was enjoyed, and a Christmas story was told. The officers for the second semester were: presi- dent, Doris Williams, vice-president, Marjorie Dyer, secretary, Faye Gumpper, sergeant-at-arms, Bob Wylie, point recorder, Lester Oppenlander, and Inter-Club Congress representative, Phyllis Tyndall. At the February meet- ing, a Valentine pro- gram was presented. An appropriate play was given by the members of the committee. The last meeting of the year was in the form of a farewell party for the seniors of the club. A gift was presented to each senior and grati- tude for their services was expressed. The two standing committees of the Li- brary Club are the scrap- book committee and the book-election committee. The members of the former collect items of interest about the staff. while the members of the latter give book re- views at one meeting each semester. THE TOTEM 1940 THEY MAKE YEARBOOK YOUR BOOK By MAURINE SEIBERT I promise that the 1940 Totem will have a leather cover. This pledge coming from our mistress of the yearbook, Virginia Goeg- lein, was all that was needed by the manufac- turers of this book to make them determined to publish the best an- nual thus far. The first evidence of the force of this promise was the October sub- scription campaign which broke all previous rec- ords. Under the capa- ble leadership of Rich- ard Gerig, business manager, and Hertha Hogrnan and Jim Murphy, co-circulation managers, nine hun- dred thirty-six subscriptions were obtained. The star agents of this campaign were Dorothy Amstutz, Le Roy Cook, and Mary Emily Seibt. Another campaign that was conducted, the senior picture campaign, also proved very successful, four hundred eleven pictures having been taken at the Clippinger Studio. In February, the second subscrip- tion campaign was staged. Ninety-four subscrip- tions were obtained during this campaign, making a total of one thousand thirty subscriptions. Then thirty-two club pictures were taken by the commer- cial photographer. The final campaign, the under- classman picture campaign, which was launchefl on March 4, also proved very successful. Much of the success of this yearis annual is due to Virginia Menze, senior editor, who spent a great deal of time arranging the senior section of this book. Virginia was assisted by Ella Jo Reed and Bill Rietli- miller. Audrey Hall and Maurine Seibert also held down an important major staff position as co-activi- ties editors. The junior section was handled by Caro- lyn Keel and her assistant, Chuck Long. Pearl Wal- len was assisted by Tom Gallmeyer in arranging the sophomore section. The freshman editor, Jean Cat- lett. and her assistant, Dorothy Amstutz, had charge of the freshman section. Bob Young took charge of intramural sports, and Pauline Werling, assisted by Ruth Hoover, arranged the girls' sports pages. The proofreaders, who must be commended for a First Row: B. Young, D.

The copy editors, who were kept very busy correcting and rearranging the club stories, were Doris Williains, Bruce Bradbury, Jean For- triede, Bob Hageinan, and Eugene Tigges. The staff photographer, Joel Salon, and Paul Reynolds, who had an almost endless task of taking pictures of the faculty, of outstanding students, and of various school scenes, were also very important members of this year's Totem staff. After these tasks had been completed by the mem- bers of the staff, several other very essential steps had to be taken in order to put out this yearbook. Pictures had to be sent to the engraversg stories had to be printed, and a final check-up of the master- piece had to be made by Miss Rowena Harvey, the adviser. Hardly do the students realize the time and energy spent in the making of a yearbook. Being quite different from a school newspaper, the year- book takes several months to prepare, requires in- finite care in the preparation of a budget, com- mands the expertness and accuracy of a photog- rapherg takes the patience and diligence of the lay- out editor, and, last but not least, requires the skill and accuracy of the printer. During the past year, the members of the Totem staff have worked hard to publish a good yearbook -one that in the future will bring many happy memories to the class of 1940. 79 THE TOTEM 1940 PUTTING IN THEIR TIME By DOROTHY GORE With such comments as, The Times is an out- standing paper and a leader in the high school journalism field-a posi- tion it is ably maintain- ing,', coming from judges who rate schol- astic papers, The South Side Times just can't help winning honor after honor and being the top-notch paper that it is.

With such Wfalt Disney characters as Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Pluto, Donald Duck, and Clarabelle Cow for the circulation theme, The Times couldn't help winning the coveted Circulation Cup. South Side won the cup by a ten per cent margin over North Side, the per cents being 70 per cent for The Times and 60 per cent for The Northerner. In September more awards to put in the Times trophy case started coming in. The Times was again awarded the Quill and Scroll International Honor Rating, which is a rating above first place.

The Times was exhibited at the fair and was awarded first place in its division for schools with an enrollment of 1500 or more by the Sigma Delta Chi Chapter of Indiana University. Adding to these two honors, The Times was given the Pacemaker Award given by the National Scholas- tic Press Association and the Medalist Award given by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. It was during this semester that The Times broke the record by having fifteen one hundred per cent home rooms. For the second time in the history of the publication, all of the subscription money was collected during the semester. Another record was broken when the staff put out a ten-page paper the First day of the new semester in September. The Times edited a twelve-page paper, the survey issue. This big issue dealt with the survey made by the principals who came to South Side to de- termine its standing in comparison with similar schools. After the semester was well underway, Carol THE TOTEM 1940 GETTING OUT YOUR TIMES Whittern became star reporterg John Gump- 1 per, sports copy make- n 1. up editor, and Bob 'atv' Hageman, copy editor.

Jean Fortriede, Emilou Allendorph, Bruce Brad- bury, Dick Aronhalt, and Lora Lee Montgomery ac- companied Miss Harvey to New York to attend the C.S.P.A. Convention on March 14. Journalistically minded students from high schools all over the country attend these conventions to learn new ways of improving their school papers. With the beginning of the new semester came the beginning of Jean Fortriedeis general managership. Starting with the issue of January 22, Jean edited the following six issues. While Jean Fortriede was general manager, changes in the staff resulted in Emilou Allendorph becoming managing editor, Lois Gumpper, class- room news editorg Bruce Bradbury, student adviser, Joan Korte and Kolman Gross, circulation man- agers, and Art Matott, intramural sports editor. The basketball team was used as the subscription theme. Each of the six subscription teams was headed by one of South Side's fighting Archers.

Emilou Allendorph edited the senior issue which was distributed on the evening of June 5 at the graduation exercises. Other special issues of the year were the Tiny Times, which was edited by Marjorie Sheldon and published in October for Open House night, the annual Tournament News, which is put out by the three city high schools, the Joke Issue, which is published the first of Januaryg and the April Fool issue, by Louis Hallenstein. Lora Lee Montgomery and Dick Aronhalt were successors to Jean Fortriede as general managers for the last twelve issues of this semester, Lora Lee editing the first six, and Dick, the last six. As a new feature idea, such celebrities as Kay Ky- ser, Kate Smith, Chic Young, and Robert Ripley were interviewed by letter. This correspondence interview idea was carried over to obtain interviews with grad- uates who are making good in other parts of the country. Interviews concerning Dave Hire, who is connected with movie making in Hollywood, and Miles Frisinger, who is soldiering in the Panama Canal Zone, were published. Outside celebrities are not the only ones that rate the spotlight of the celebrity column. This semester, outstanding members of the senior class were inter- viewed and the facts printed in the column, Hot Stufff, 81 THE TOTEM 1940 SUPER SCRIBBLERS SUP AGAIN By DORRIS WILLIAMS First Row: Miss Rowena Harvey, A.

Rose, leader of the Senior Girl Scout troop, made up the program for the spring semester, which included several outside speakers. Miss Pearl Rehorst spoke to the girls on the Origin of Fashions . At one meeting the troop discussed Hair Styles , and then went to Miss Blanche Hutto's room to learn a little about soap carving. Miss Gretchen Smith's dancing class taught the troop ballroom dancing. Later in the spring, a chop suey dinner was held at the home of the leader. A beauty expert from Wolf and Dessauer instructed the girls in the use of make-up. On the first of May, the Mother- Daughter Tea was held, and Mrs. Peeling enter- tained the group with her puppets. In the last part of May, the Father-Daughter Ban- quet was held. Later on, the troop took a hike and cooked over a campfire. The troop took an over- night trip to Camp Ella Logan.

HAVE A 'ART By DORIS STAMETS Camenean Club was organized in the spring sem- ester of 1938 by a group of girls under the direc- tion of the Misses Mary and Edith Crowe. The club was organized in order to encourage apprecia- tion of the fine arts through observation, discussion, and participation in programs based upon the arts. The name Camenean was taken from the Roman word Camenae. The Camenae were similar to the Greek muses, goddesses of song, poetry, and other fine arts. .. Q L , 4 - First Row: M. Brower, M.

Each person is given a chance during the semester to take part in the programs as he is assigned by a program committee. This year the theme was a general one, dealing especially with literature, drama, music, and some rules of etiquette especially applicable to the fine arts. There are some outside activities, weiner bakes and potlucks providing part. The officers the first term were: president, Phyllis Facklerg vice-president, Helen Luepkeg secretary, Wilma Jean Sullivan, and treasurer, Helen Harber. The presiding officers during the second term were president, Agnes Seilerg vice-president, Rebecca Le Fever, secretary, Betty Pepplerg treasurer, Helen Dicke. Lorine Dicke has been Inter-Club Congress representative for the entire year. 83 THE TOTEM 1940 WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH PHILO? By ELLA Jo REED In 1922, twenty-five South Side girls, under the capable guidance of Miss Elizabeth Demaree, or- ganized the Philalethian Library Society. The pur- pose of the club is to stimulate in high school girls an interest in higher literature, and to promote friendship and high ideals. This purpose has been attained through interesting and informative club programs, through the association with Philo mem- bers, and through the various club activities. This year's theme, The Modern Novel, was chosen by the club officers, Ella Jo Reed, president, Jane Engellcing, vice-president, Mary Bowlby, secretary, Rebecca Abbett, treasurer, Phyllis Branning, ser- geant-at-arms, Caroline Lichtenberg, program chair- man, Vivian Bushroe, typist, Marjorie Dyer, chair- man of decorations, Ruth Dauner, chairman of music, Katherine Beckman, Inter-Club Congress representative, Lois and Faye Gumpper, publicity Sig, .:,.,.,.,.

At mid-semester, the duties of vice-president were taken over by June Elaig, secretary, by Mary Vir- ginia Russ, treasurer, by Audrey Hall, program chairman by Marjorie McNabb, and sergeant-at- arms by Hertha Hoffman. In order that the club would have sufficient back- 84 ground, for their study of the modern novel, Miss Martha Pittenger and Carolyn Keel discussed its de- velopment and growth. Three reviews of the mod- ern novels were given during the year. The first, Mr. Emanuel by Mrs. Archie Keen, the second, All This and Heaven Too, by Caroline Lichtenberg and Mary Bowlby, and the third, Son of the Sea, by Katherine Guild and Betty Bohn. Not only do these literary achievements make Philo interesting, but its special activities are par- ticularly enjoyable. No Philo girl can ever forget the Fall Erolic under the direction of Maurine Seib- Crt and Jean Fortriede, the Philo Dance, whose never-to-be-forgotten success is credited to Marjorie Dyer, Dorothy Gore, Hertha Hogman, and the able art committee, the thespians plays, While Brother Phil Was Walking and Our Aunt From Califor- nian, the music furnished at every meeting by Ruth Dauner and her very excellent music commit- tee, the Christmas Tea at Ellen McKay,s with Laura Grazier assisting, the musical at Virginia Eleming's, the success of Pipe D r e am s , the Philo St. Patriclcis Day Banquet, the Mother- Daughter Tea, Senior Day, and last of all the final get-together at the breakfast. These are all eventful occasions now safely tucked into the memories of every Philo member. Philo is more than a club. It is symbolic of an ideal,-the search for knowledge, for friend- ship, for truth. The Philo parting song ex- presses this ideal: For Philo means truth. while at work and play, And friendships that never fade, So we grasp at the end of a Philo Day The hands of the friends we,ve madef' Its membership is open to all 10A junior and sen- ior girls making a grade of B or above in English. Philo's activities are separated into three divisions, literature, music, and drama. The club programs THE TOTEM 1940 THEY'RE ALL WRITE are always based on some form of literature. Every meeting brings new and interesting information about the theme. The material is presented in such a way that the members find the meetings recrea- tional as well as informative. The musical division of Philo is under the direction of the music chairman and the club pianist. They discover musical talent in the members, plan the music for each meeting, have charge of the annual musical, and direct the Philo quartet, of which Philaletheans are rightfully proud. Thespians, the drama division of Philo, is under the direction of the Thespian chairman. Try- outs are held for the three or four plays which are presented during the year and any member is eligible to participate. Philo is particularly active in charity work. Baskets are made up at various times during the year and at Christmas Philaleth- eans play Santa Claus to many children by fur- nishing them with toys. We, who are a part of Philo, believe that it is indeed one of the most outstanding clubs here at South Side. We are proud to be called Phila- lethean, for there are in Philo, as an organiza- tion, attributes and qual- ities that we, as individ- uals, aspire to have. We are proud of Philo's very s p l e n Cl i d membership which, although limited to junior and senior girls making a grade of B or above in English, is one of the largest in South Side. We are proud of our excellent programs, which are interesting and entertaining as well as affording us education and culture. We are de- lighted with Philo's ac- tivities, which are always so well planned and so well attended that they can always be pronounced successes. Much praise for such an outstanding organization goes, of course, to its membership, yet true credit belongs to Miss Elizabeth Demaree who has worked so diligently and so faithfully for Philo for eighteen years. When a Philalethean talks of Philo meetings or Philo activities, she inevitably thinks of the uguid- ing light of Philo. Through the close association that a Philo member has with our sponsor, it is impossible for her not to absorb some of Miss Dem- aree's ideals of industry, of cooperation, of democ- racy, and of leadership. Yet to her goes little rec- ognition. Philo officers, Philo committees, Philo programs, and Philo activities are given much pub- licityg but she who is truly responsible for all Philo's accomplishments seldom is recognized. It is impos- sible for anyone in three short semesters to absorb all those ideals for which Philo stands. Miss Dem- aree depicts the true spirit of Philo. So let us thank her here-the one who is the backbone of Philo and of whom we are all rightfully proud-Miss Eliza- beth Demaree. Philo is particularly proud of its splendid mem- bership.

This yearis Valedictorian and Salutatorian, as has so frequently happened in the past, are members of Philo. The Ivy Queen and her four attendants and numerous class ofiicers are Philo girls. This superior membership has been largely responsible for the suc- cess of Philo in the past and will be responsible for the success in the future. 85 gk, f 5' if K' -af 'L Q, , 5 I 5 , Ayn f, 3 W 3 i ? 1 X ,M A , . , V 5 ,x -K Q . 1 , 1 0 V 5 wg. ,X 1 l , p S 1 W y.

In December, the Ro- man Saturnalia, the fes- tival in honor of the god Saturn, the custom of gift-giving, and the sea- sonal tradition of burn- ing wax tapers were compared to our Christ- mas, our method of remembering our friends with gifts, and our Christ- mas tree with its glowing lights.

Latin Club also sponsored an after-game dance. Cupid's Fantasy , on February 3. Maurine Seibert was the general chairman of this dance which was highlighted by the cupids, large and small, that were the chief figures in the decorations and the favors of the dance. The committee in charge of the decorations was composed of Tompsie Hall, Lois Hoff, Gloria Kramer, Janet Holtmeyer, Jean Eort- riede, Carol Trenary, and Lois Holtmeyer.

Besides these activities, the club also holds an an- nual picnic in June. The purpose of Latin Club, which was formed December 16, 1932, is to enhance the cultural side of Latin study and to enjoy social activities. Any person who has taken at least one semester of Latin and whose grades are satisfactory is eligible for membership. Officers for this year were: president, Maurine Seibertg vice-president, Jean Eortriedeg secretary- treasurer, June Flaigg and Inter-Club Congress rep- resentative, John Gumpper. Club advisers were Miss Gertrude Oppelt, Mrs. H. B. Carson, Mrs. Roy Welty, and Mr. Earl Sterner. Membership in Latin Club is an asset to any Latin student. It helps him to understand better the lives, manners, religion, and customs of the people of ancient Rome. It arouses in the student a keener interest in the language he is studying and a desire to know more about the Romans and their civiliza- tion which was marked by so much grandeur. Latin Club, by enhancing the cultural side of the Romans' lives and their private lives, gives the student a much broader view of the lives of the people about whom he is studying than his daily classwork can do. THE TOTEM 1940 ON THE TRAIL OF TRAVEL'S TREK By PHYLLIS BRANNING Since our organiza- tion a decade ago, we Travelers have seen the world and proved our steadfastness in carrying out our highest ideals and purposes. The most important of these pur- poses are to unite the energy, interest, and knowledge of South Side's would-be travel- ers, to collect and give out information about various parts of the world, and to further the achievements of its members through world knowledge. We decided that, be- cause many of our for- eign friends were suf- fering in the blackouts, we would stay at home this year. We tried to be helpful, enlightening, and patriotic in our study of America. In the fall, we boarded a train at each meeting, which is every other Wednesday, and visited some National park. The chief engineer was Phyllis Branning, and the mem- bers of her crew were Ruth Dauner, Betty Koehler, Edmund Bauer, Marjorie Kruse, Janet Holtineyer, Helen Luepke, and Elaine Hirschy. Our able R.

Our itinerary with our guides for each excursion was as follows: Yellowstone National Park, Kather- ine Ernsburgerg The Great Smokies, Ilene Briggs, Sequoia, Betty Baumgartner, Zion, Doris Stametsg Rocky Mountains, Bernacline Presslerg Glacier Na- tional Park, Bettilu Stein, and Yosemite National Park, John Dingly. The second semester we concentrated our interests within the boundaries of our own state, making See- ing Indiana First our theme. The leader for these excursions was Elaine Hirschy, and her assistants were Emilou Allendorph, Bob Wylie, Marjorie Kruse, Bernadine Pressler, Aleda Randol, Louise Lovelace, and John Dingley. The guides to the most interesting places of In- diana were as follows: McCormick's Creek State Park, Ilene Briggs, Pokagon State Park, Helen 30' First Row: Whetsel. A. Harrod, D, Stamets, E.

One of the most important events of the second semester was the tea dance which was given in Feb- ruary. It was an experiment for the club and proved to be a success. The annual spring picnic was held on May Z9 at McMillan Park. Because Travel Club is South Side's member of the Red Cross, the first meeting of each semester was devoted to the Red Cross. These meetings were in charge of Marjorie Kruse, the Red Cross repre- sentative. Travel Club again took the responsibility of the Disaster Relief and Preparedness Survey, which we started last year. Travel Club was the first high school club in the United States to have such an organization of the members of the high school. The purpose of this disaster relief and preparedness survey is to have South Side organized in case of a fire, flood, or epidemic. The freshmen were the only ones who were asked to H11 out cards this year. 87 THE TOTEM 1940 FRACTIONS, FORMULAS, AND FUN By MARY LYNN HARVILL Mathematics! Science! Two magical names that are the keys men have been using for centuries to probe the hidden secrets of this vast universe of ours. The Math-Science Club was organized for the purpose of promoting an appreciation for these keys, mathematics and science, and to enable students to discover some of those secrets of the world. The students who were chosen by the club to lead them for the fall semester were: Robert Hage- man, presidentg Jane Bowen, vice-presidentg Jeanne Shinnick, secretary, Richard Gerig, treasurer, Ron- ald McVay, Inter-Club Congress representative. In the spring, the club elected Eugene Tigges, president, Doris Williains, vice-president, Rebecca LeFever, secretary, John Schotter, treasurer, and Ronald Mc- Vay, Inter-Club Congress representative. Math-Science has Miss George Anna Hodgson, Miss Adelaide Fiedler, Mr. Elna Gould, and Mr. Lloyd Whelan as supervisors. First of the fall semester speakers was Mr. E. L. Shinnick who told about The Relation of Mathe- matics to Life Insurance . At the same meeting Mr. Elna Gould, assisted by Emilou Allendorph and Carolyn Cartwright, informed the the club about fall First Row: D. Stamets, R. LeFever, E. Hirschy, L.

Her talk was il- lustrated by slides under microscopes. Robert Hawkins, a former student, had some of the members holding their ears when he gave a dem- onstration of his gas model airplane. He gave the club some interesting facts about model airplanes in general and gas model airplanes in particular. Ar the February meeting, David Pierce gave an entertaining and instructive demonstration through the medium of soap bubbles. They took on the forms of many intricate mathematical figures. Halloween provides a theme for the social event of the year, a Halloween party. Members were asked to come as characters in literature. Many favorite heroes and heroines appeared. Among these were Scarlett Oil-lara, Heidi, The Gentleman from Indiana, Chaucer's Prioress, Carmen, Mammy Yokum, Babbie, Wife of Bath, and many others. Math-Science, one of the oldest clubs in South Side, was founded in 1922, the same year the school was built. Its members include the best mathe- matics and science students in the school. Awards are given each year to the students with the highest mathematics and science averages. These awards are the highest honors the club gives. They signify that the boy or girl who gets them is an honor student in the science depart- ment. Tnformation and pleasures are enjoyed by way of lectures, demon- strations, games, and community singing at each meeting. Math-Science Club pre- sents further opportuni- ties for students to probe into the subjects of mathematics and science and to learn to under- stand them. The mem- bers are told of the men who discover the miracles nature has to offer. The wild life, plant and ani- mal, take their places in the programs of the club. Members are urged to ask questions after each session is finished. THE TOTEM 1940 STUDYING ETYMOLOGY THE E E E-SY WAY By WILMA JEAN SULLIVAN Embryo English Ety- mologists, better known as Three E's, is purely a study club for those interested in the origin, development, and his- tory of words. Each year this club plans to concentrate upon a par- ticular phase of etymo- logical study. The general theme this year has been the study of the various, successive influences on our language. The first fall meetings were given to the study of the Anglo-Saxon back- ground and the compar- ison of Anglo-Saxon and German. At one of these meetings, the members with the aid of Miss Emma Kiefer, adviser, translated A Prayer of King Alfredv, written in the Anglo-Saxon language. This was fol- lowed by a study of the English language in Chauc- er's time and the gradually increasing French back- ground, which had begun to make its appearance about the time of the Norman Conquest. In the study of Q'The Complaint of Chaucer to His Purse and a passage from the epic Q'Beowulf , a great many words of Anglo-Saxon and French derivation were noticed. Schelper, V. Wiedelnian. A good many meetings have been devoted to studying the Renaissance influence, which empha- sizes the Latin and Greek roots. That in turn was followed by the entrance into the language of scien- tific terms and words resulting from the contact of travelers with people of foreign lands. Some study was made of American English, noting what it has received from the American Indian, from im- migrants of various nationalities, and from slang. As a rule, the general order of the program is as follows: a report on interesting word derivations, a review of some article pertaining to etymology, a vo- cabulary drill, and a spelling game or a study in homonymsg then refreshments. Three E's was organized in 1936 by a group of twelve boys and girls who thought they would be interested in etymology. Miss Kiefer, also keenly interested in etymology, assisted them in forming a study club and has remained Three E's adviser First Row: D. Stamets, A. Seiler, Flaig, Reed, Miss Emma Kiefer, Shinnick.

The club has grown steadily, but no effort has been made to increase the membership, lest a large membership defeat the purpose and plan of the meetings. It is found that a quota of about thirty members provides the right attendance for a study group in which all take part. The meetings are held at homes of members, with at least two and sometimes three persons in charge. In contrast to other clubs in South Side, Three Eis has no officers, no constitution, and no dues. Each host or hostess directs the program instead of having a regular program chairman. In order to become a member of Three E's one must have com- pleted two years of foreign language study and must maintain a B average in English. Members throughout the year are Vincent Bacon, Phyllis Branning, Mary Bowlby, Avel Bridges, llene Briggs, Richard Dyke, Jane Engelking, Katherine Ernsberger, June Flaig, Dorothy Eoellinger, Jean Fortriede, Phyllis Frisinger, Jeanne Gumpper, Aud- rey Hall, Tompsie Hall, Mary Lynn Harvill, Janet Holtmeyer, Lois Holtineyer, Erma Jackson, Marjorie McMahon, Marian Miller, Joyce Reed, Eleanor Schelper.

Such might be the question asked you by one of the thirty-two French students of Le Cercle Francais. The purpose of the club is better to acquaint the stu- dent with France and the French people through the study of literature, songs, history, and customs of the people. The club is run on a point basis. The students re- ceiving points by holding an office, being on pro- grams, attending meetings, or any other serving the club will be awarded pins. The members have decid- ed this year to pay for dictionaries given in recog- nition of the two most outstanding French students, one of first year French and another of second year French, in a tCSt covering the year's work. The club's activities have been many and varied. They include a successful skate, a delightful Christ- mas party, an exciting Snowball dance, an interesting joint meeting with the French Club at Central, a potluck for the initiates, and lastly a picnic which brought to an end the year's activities.

S. A. By HELEN LUEPKE The U. S. A. Club is an organization for freshman and sophomore girls. The three letters, U. S. A., stand for unity, service, and appreciation-the three objectives of the club. The purpose of the club, which is a branch of the Y.W.C.A., is To find and give the best . These ideals are shown in the club's activities. A great deal of charity and service work is done First Row: Hickman, M. Menze, D. Rose, O. Springer, J. Augsburger, Junk, M. Shaffer. Second Row: Mrs. Grace Welty, I. Hirschman, B. Har- gan, K.

All Girl Reserve Clubs of the city unite in planning this dance and presenting it. The two faculty advisers who have so competently guided the U. S. A. are Miss Elizabeth Kelley and Mrs. Roy Welty. Each semester the club installs its newly elected officers in a very impressive candlelight service. Each one of the retiring officers has a candle which she presents to the new officer taking her place. The officers for the fall semester were: President, Delaine Rose, vice-president, Ilene Franke, secretary, Elaine Boerger, treasurer, Patricia I-Iarruff, membership and Inter-Club Congress, Deloris Reiter, publicity, Betty Hargan, cardkeeper, Jean Junk, service, Ethel- drea Behling, and social, Eleanor Muntzinger. The officers during the spring semester were: President, Jean Junk, vice-president, Ilene Franke, secretary, Margaret Kienzle, treasurer, Betty Hargan, member- ship and Inter-Club Congress, Deloris Reiter, pub- licity, Lorraine Berning, cardkeeper, Tlo Hirshman, service, Katherine Bultemeier, social, Joan Druhot, and music chairman, Patricia Harruff. THE TOTEM 1940 ANNIE OAKLEYS ALL By BETTY JEAN PRESSLER Several years ago, eight or ten girls decided to learn the art of shooting a rifie. not to be ready to join some underworld gang or to be prepared in case of war, but to obtain the keen sense of balance and sight that practice with a rifle gives. The Girls' Rifie Club has grown considerably. There were no limitations to membership when it was begun, and the club grew until it had approxi- mately forty members. This number was far too great to be handled conveniently, so the member- .Q L 4 First Row: Berlin, D. Hopkins, R. Hoover, D. Ulrich, M. Shannon. Second Row: A. Hall, Miss Rose Mary DeLancey, V.

It is a member of the National Junior Rifle Association. It holds postal matches with various schools and it has bi-weekly contests in which the ten best marksmen in the club participate. Each fall the Rifie Club unites with the French Club and sponsors a skate at Bell's Rink. Officers of the Rifle Club for the fall term were Jane Merchant, president, LaVerne Michelfelder, vice-president, Betty Thiele, secretary, Marcia Allen, treasurer, and Doris Hopkins and Betty Jean Press- ler, range officers. The officers for the spring term were Doris Hopkins, president, Betty Thiele, vice- president, Marceille Kimmell, secretary, Nlarcia Allen, treasurer. STAMP LICKERS By EDWARD TURNER The curtain falls on another successful year of Stamp Club. The Stamp Club, one of the outstand- ing clubs at South Side, started its social activities with its annual skating party at Bell's Rink, and for the second successive year this club gave the biggest skate of the year. Following this event, was the Sweetheart Swing dance given after the South Side-Central basketball game, and again they came through with one of the biggest after-game dances of the year. Ar present, the club is collecting catcheted first day covers of the new Famous Americans Series which will be presented to the school when the series is completed. The officers for the fall term were Ed Turner, president, Maxine Case, vice-president, Ralph Herb, secretary, Don Hensch, treasurer, Melvin Schwartz, point recorder, Don Parkinson, sergeant at arms, and Carlton Clem, Inter-Club congressman. During the spring semester, Melvin Schwartz held the gavel and was assisted by Maxine Hudson, vice- president, Keith Lakey, secretary, Don Hensch, treasurer, Dick Lockhart, sergeant at arms, Virgil First Row: H. Beck, B. Clem, M. Hudson, E. Sweetland, Miss Pauline Van Cvorder, R. Spore, H. Karnap, P. Zirkel, M. Case. Second Row: R. Markowitz, Rogers, Steiner. V. Guebarcl, K. Lackey, P. Schwartz, H.

Some other outstanding activities of the club are the semi-annual installation services, when pins are awarded to club members and new officers are in- stalled, the annual potluck held in the early spring and the annual picnic held in June. Any boy or girl in South Side who is interested in any phase of stamp collecting is cordially invited to join this club. Miss Pauline Van Gorder is the club,s faculty adviser. 91 THE TOTEM 1940 TRY ANGLING FOR A TRIANGLE By VIRGINIA MENZE Look for the sign of the blue triangle! For the vicinity will generally yield a group of young women known as Girl Reserves. So-Si-Y, one of the oldest clubs in South Side, is part of this world-wide organ- ization and operates in our four walls for the junior and senior girls, U. S. A. being the little sister. So-Si-Y'ers are junior members of the Fort Wayne YWCA and to this end have chosen the purpose, to find and give the best. They endeavor to do this by carrying out the phrases of the Girl Reserve code, as follows: As a Girl Reserve I will try to be Gracious in manner Impartial in judgment Ready for Service Loyal to friends First Row: Miss Eleanor Smeltzly, B. Peppler, B. Thiele, L. Holzworth, B. Nledsker, E. Hirschy, L. Greiner, M. Gerding, L. Buesking. Second Row: Mrs. Alda Carson, M. Fry, M. Druhot, G. Martin, I. Meyer, C, Deel, B. Bender, H. Lisius, B.

Reaching toward the best Earnest in purpose Seeing the beautiful Eager for knowledge Reverent to God Victorious over self Ever Dependable Sincere at all times. Girl Reserves are known throughout the world, for the blue triangle is the emblem of every girl reserve organization in this country and in many 92 other countries of the world. And with good reason -for the three sides of the triangle represent body, mind, and spirit. So-Si-Y, in line with the principles of girl reserve organizations tries to instill in its members the highest regard for character, service, religion, and friendliness. Girls are girls all over the world and are faced with the problems of making choices during their whole lives. With this in mind, the cabinet of the fall semester chose the theme of Making Our Choicesf' The activities of the fall semester were opened with a pep meeting, Presenting So-Si-Yf' Graduating from high school does not necessarily mean that the girl reserve training in So-Si-Y will no longer be put to use. Helen Anderson and Elfrieda Enz proved this point by coming to the first meeting and explaining how this training has helped them advance in the business field and in college work. Ar the membership party programs were given, committees were appointed, and a social hour of games and music was enjoyed. Because the club is composed of junior and senior girls, the trying problem of finding the right thing to do after graduation was enlightened at the meeting. Our Life Work. A friend in need is a friend indeed was realized more than ever at the meeting on Cut Friendsf, at which time a discussion of the book, How To Win Friends and Inliuence Peoplef, by Dale Carne- gie, was held. Radio programs are both good and bad and John Hac- kett of the Westinghouse Studios endeavored to give the high lights of the more educational programs at the meeting on Ra- dio Programsf, Because the Hi-Y Club and So-Si-Y are similar, in that both are connected with Christian Associa- tions, a joint meeting was held on Our Religious Attitudes. The Rev. Charles Houser spoke on the Youth Conference which he had attended while traveling in Amsterdam, Holland, last summer. At the meeting entitled, Books, Miss Mary Pocock gave an interesting book review on the Land Below the Wind. Christmas is always a time for joyous THE TOTEM 1940 programs and so it was this year with the singing of Christmas carols and the presentation of a play by the members of the committee. The wearing of the new clothes received for Christmas and a special style show, together with the speech by Miss Pearl Rehorst on Our Clothes, started the new year out right. The much pub- licized Gone with the Wind', was then given spe- cial billing in the meeting on Movies The little wooden-head Pinocchio did his share in bringing the last meeting of the semester to a grand close. The program committee chairmen were: Lillian Meeker, Phyllis Faclcler, Aleda Randol, Violet Stein- bauer, Rebecca Le Fever, Helen Karnap, and Ve- riene Weidleman. Officers of the fall semester were: Virginia Menze, president, Mary Emily Seibt, vice-president, Eliza- beth Rose, secretaryg Elsie Pedersen, treasurer, Thel- ma Krauslcopf, Inter- Club Congress represen- tative, Delores Menefee, service, Constance Hir- schy, musicg Dorothy Amstutz, social, and Ca- roline Schueler, public- ity. Advisers of the club include the Misses Rine- hart, Miller, and Smeltz- ly and Mrs. Carson. For the spring semest- er, the cabinet chose Footprints in the Sands of Time as their theme. Under this theme the meetings were divided into groups, as follows: The first stepg Let us be up and doing, Examin- ing old footprints, We can make our lives sub- lime, Watch your step, Selecting new shoes, Stepping in Mother's footprintsg and Resting tired feet. The chair- men were: Wilma Jean Sullivan, Virginia Men- ze, Phyllis Fackler, De- lores Menefee, Mary Emily Seibt, and Martha Thomas. Service projects of the year included the hem- ming of towels, serving at banquets, making of Val- entines, coloring of Easter eggs, and selling of sta- tionery. Midst the soft rays of candles and the beauty of stained-glass church windows, the annual religious Easter program was held in a setting of flowers, ferns, and soft music. A choir composed of Romayne Rediger, Doris Pritchard, Norma Jean Sprunger, and Eleanor Wittwer, accompanied by Wilma Jean Sul- livan at the piano, sang several choral selections, Zaegel, D. Stamets. J. Wetzel, D. Miller. Unbar Ye Golden Gatesu, Hallelujahl What A Savioru, and a prayer response. Songs by the audi- ence included 'QAwake, My Heart, With Gladnessw and T Know That My Redeemer Lives. Romayne Rediger gave a most enlightening talk on We can make our lives sublime. An Easter morning pag- eant with Dorothy Saalfranlc as the angel, Thelma Krauskopf as Mary Magdalene, and Gertrude Merlcel as Salome, was portrayed, with soft music and the reading of the scriptures completing the scene. A litany, call to worship, prayer, and instrumental se- lections by Wilma Jean and Marjory Sullivan com- prised the rest of the program. Walking in our motheris footprints came to life at the Mother-Daughter tea in the early spring. All previous captains and their committees planned the program, and each did her part in entertaining the numerous mothers present. First Row: M. Morris, V. Perrine. Sheets, P. Zirkel, VV.

The Inter-Club Council is composed of all the cabinet members of all high school girl reserve clubs in Fort Wayne-North Side, Central, South Side, and Wheatley Center. A representative from each school is elected to serve on the cabinet for one semester. The meetings are held once a month at the Y.W.C.A., at which time the various club prob- lems are presented for help and the activities of Inter-Club are planned. The major activities include the Girl Reserve tournament dance, Ring Circle, spe- cial meetings for girls desiring to become ring wear- ers, spring banquet, and G. R. Leaders Conference. 93 THE TOTEM 1940 THESE DUMMIES REALLY NEED A PULL By BILL MORGAN The Marionette Club of South Side High School is small, but very active. There are about twenty-five members in the club. This number may seem small, but each member is talented and must have creative ability. During the club year the members are taught to work a mar- ionette. This is do,ne through skits presented by groups in the club. The boys in the club do the work that requires mechanics. They make the stage-props, bodies for the marionettes, and L , , help set up the stage. The girls make costumes for the marionettes and do all the work that re' quires sewing and de- signing of costumes. Those skilled in drawing make the back drops for the play. This requires much skill, for the trees or whatever is in the drop must be in the right proportion to the marionette. Emrick, C. Lyman. The club puts on a play with marionettes every spring for which they charge the pupils ten cents. The play is presented in the Greeley Room. Tn the past, the club has had success with Ala Baba, Bird's Christmas Carol. Cinderella, and Crea- tures of Impulse. This spring the club will give as their play Aladdin and the Wonderful Lampf, The play is chosen by a committee appointed by the president. At one of the club meetings, the play is read and discussed as to its possibilities in settings, lighting, and costuming. The marionettes are then made to fit each character. The girls must design costumes and have them approved before they can make them. All this takes about six months. Every year the night before the play, the club has a potluck supper. This is one of the big events of the year, as it outshines even the Weiner bake in the fall and the Christmas party. After the pot- luck, the members go through the play and perfect the weak parts in order to give an excellent per- formance the following evening. The officers of the club are: president, Bill Mor- gan, vice-president, Jane Klinefelterg secretary, Dick Greeng treasurer, Edith Ream, Inter-Club Congress representative, Mary Ellen Barrett. The adviser of the club is Miss Dorothy A. Mag- 94 ...EA - I I First Row: M. Barrett, E, Ream, H. Leininger, R. Vogel, M. Morgan, M. Dyer, R. Zeigler. Second Row: M. Emrick, M. Allen, Klinefelter, D.

Miss Magley has been head of the club since its beginning. The club is distinctly the members' club for it gives them an opportunity to experiment and to try out any individual interests in making or manipulating marionettes. The Marionette workshop is in an underground room. They occupy the right side of the room while the Rifle Club uses the left. The first members of the club who used this workshop painted the walls blue and the ceiling cream and then decorated the walls with huge bright flowers and the masks of Tragedy and Comedy. It has become traditional for each member to sign his or her name on the wall. The supplies and tools of the club are kept in a cabinet in the workshop. Miss Fiedler, Miss Pocock, and Miss Perkins have given pieces of fine mate- rials for the costumes. The club greatly appreciates these gifts. Every year Mr. Snider has asked the Marionette Club to give a demonstration for a P-T.A evening meeting. The members give short talks on construc- tion, costuming, and manipulating marionettes. This year Dick Green, Ralph Ransome, and Bill Morgan gave a clever skit about a small boy, a dog, and a skeleton in a cemetery. Since the working of a marionette requires the pulling of stringsu, it fulfills a suppressed desire for the members. They feel that they may never be great politicians, so these strings are all that they will get to pull.
