They carry our colors into battle and earn recognition for their athletic encounters by wearing the school's letter on their sweater. No matter when or where the word Letterman', is spoken, it commands attention and respect. The goal of any athlete is to be worthy of earning and wearing the letter of his school. South Side's Lettermen's Club is composed of boys who have achieved their goal, which is acquired by earning ZOO points in athletic service to the school. Since 1924, when the club's constitution was drawn up. there have been over 300 members. From the start, the members of this club have been noted for their sportsmanship and line character. Every year, Lettermen are awarded their letters at a special recognition cere- mony by Mr. Davis and the athletic coaches. Several dances were held on the Lettermen's deck this year, the most notable of these being the Fifth Quarter after-game dance. The club also had several potluck dinners at which guest speakers gave very interesting talks. The flagship pulled in next to the Math-Science craft to attend the General Electric House of Magic. As the Lettermen's cruise drew to a finish, their banquet was the crowning success. As has been their custom, each member of the crew was invited by one of the faculty. This tends to bring the teachers and the Lettermen closer together in order to become better acquainted. Excellent speeches were enjoyed during the dinner and finally the new Lettermen were welcomed into the club's crew and given their letters. The last port of the flagship's cruise was the annual picnic at Oliver Lake. Food was plentiful and the crew enjoyed themselves immensely. Although the standards are high, this year's crop of Lettermen has risen to new heights and has left its mark as an incentive to future members of the Lettermenls Club. They have indeed conducted themselves in accordance with the club's constitution, the preamble of which reads as follows: Uwe, the Lettermen of South Side High School, have formed an organiza- tion to create and maintain a high standard of character, sportsmanship, and con- duct in our school. We intend to cooperate with the principal, dean, and fac- ulty to aid them in carrying out their purpose. 101
