It is for those happy moments of carefree reminiscence that this yearbook finds its purpose. The coming years may prove to hold their share of sorrow and trial. There may be moments, when burdens rest upon our shoulders with a weight that threatens to crush both the strength of body and the spirit. It is for t hose years, and those moments, that the Edsonian of 1941 is published. .A the opening of these covers, we may part the curtains of time to relive the happiness of those golden days. We may turn these pages and so watch the heavy haze of years slowly lift to reveal the faces of old classmates and friends. From out of the past, we may once again pause to hear softly echoing words-words embodying the sage advice of faculty members, words reflecting the faith and trust those sincere friends placed in our success. It is then that we shall pause once more to give he-art-felt thanks to those teachers who, under the leadership of Mr. McNaught, created that first foundation for the future molding of our lives. It is then, too, that we may reach back through the years to pay tribute to our school board-sincere tribute, which faltering words may even then fail to fully express. Yes, there must be such moments, when we shall seek to regain a bit of the carefree spirit of the youth that time shall then have obliviated, when hearts and thoughts may long once again for a glimpseinto the happy past. For this, we present 1 .f x .. i K. I M,--'lf' ' the Annual of 1941, a Conqumeror of Time, possessor of pages X, of past happiness, of tears, of gratitude, of laughter-of youth. x 5 Take it. Read it.

Zenger, a New York newspaperman, was brought to trial for printing statements which were considered detrimental to the colonial government. After much heated arguing by Mr. Zenger's lawyer, Alexander Hamilton, who was soon to carve his niche in the Hall of Fame, the jury finally ren- dered a decision in favor of the de- fendent. The day upon which this de- cision was handed down might well be dated the Brst birthday of the American newspaper, for on this day there was kindled a small fire which grew continually brighter with the addition of more freedom as fuel. Many years have passed since that immortal day of Peter Zenger's trial. Now we find the United States greatly advanced in the fields of science, industry, and education, while their probable instigator has remained a forgotten friend. Such inventions as the fast, huge presses, the linotype machine, the teletype, and the radio pictures, have ad- vanced newspaper science. The Am- erican newspaper has expanded so extensively that it has contacted every country home and hamlet as well as every foreign land. For this reason, the American press has at- tracted thousands of keen-minded students as journalists, land pre- sented technical employment to an ever-increasing group of photo graphers, press operators, linotype operators, and many others. But such increased advancement and free-lance methods were not everlasting, for soon the world-wide newspapers smacked headlong into their greatest fear - - - censorship. One by one, the foreign newspapers lost what freedom they had, until finally, only the American newspa- pers remained glowing with freedom, Our daily American newspapers give us a complete and precise pic- ture of world-wide happenings as well as a very familiar supply of domestic events. Each paper serves as one page of a vast education, because every imaginable field is treated fairly and publicly. The men and women who prepare our paper are part of an organization which functions so smoothly and speedily that it is incomparable. By means of our newspapers, the cry of de- mocracy has prevailed for two hun- By Dorothy Call This, Southside High, is a tribute to you from the class of '41, and from all the classes of the past and of the future. It is an attempt to express the feelings of thousands of students, who have walked through your halls, students who have now found their place in the world, stu- dents who have yet to seek their small niche in life. In your classrooms, we have learn- ed the history of our country, the appreciation of literature, the me- chanics of mathematics, the sciences, and so on down the curriculum list. We have learned to work, and to play. We have made sincere friends from among our many classmates, and confided with willing advisers of the faculty. Yet, it is not any single bounty for which we students would pay you tribute, Southside High. It is for the combined strength of self- confidence, the power of greater am- bition and of .a distinct goal in life. It is the realization that from you we have gained something more than purely mechanical knowledge - - - something far deeper, far greater in its scope and depth. It is that some- thing which will be with us through- out the years to come. Call it strength, faith, power, or resolve. It makes little diierence what it may be termed. It is there, beginning with the first freshman days, con- tinuing through the sophomore and junior years, and strongly molded into the character of each senior who finally passes over your stage onto a greater stage of life. ' Yes, Southside High, it is a di- ploma that we shall hold in our hands. But it is for that which we shall have in our hearts and minds that the Class of 1941 says, Thank you! dred yearsg they have proved to the world what a free-living peo- ple can construct. Thus it is with great pleasure that We, the graduating class of 1941 present this annual, planned on a newspaper theme, in the hope that American newspapers will always be our friendly side-kickf' We do this because we know these papers have given John Doe a square deal, and because we .are depending upon our papers to keep the torch of free- dom and democracy burning in America.

There is no greater test of our true ability, no greater assurance of fu- ture achievement, than a practical understanding of our school motto. Throughout the coming years, that guiding principle must enter into vir- tually every hour of every day. It must be the keynote of each decision, of each spoken word, of every action that guides our lives toward the suc- ccss of which we dream, or the fail- ure which we loathe and abhor. Through our high school years, we have been groomed ,for a distinct place in life. We have become con- scious of an awakened ambition that all men and women should possess. With that ambition, we have parted thc mist of future years and fixed our eyes upon our desired goal in life. Many of us have already taken our first steps upon the road which, through the labyrinth of uncertain- ty, seems to lead toward our ambi- tions of the future. Yet, no such goal is attainable without certain qualities and certain phases of char- acter. We may aim high and far, but without a strong foundation of principle, our aim will never be true -we shall fall short of our target. There are many qualities that need be listed as essential to our success: honesty, perseverance, loyalty, de- pendability, and vision, to name but a few. Yet the finest blending of these qualities is quite useless with- out that one keystone for the struc- ture of our future lives- The right thing -thanks for everything, Miss King. The right time -right now. Writeups by Dorothy Call Loyalty is that quality which prompts a person to be true to the thing he undertakes. Mr. Mc- Nazught. There is no greater guarantee of successful accomplishment than a love of the task undertaken. Yet, coupled with that love, is another force, equally indomitable, equally essential - - - the force of loyalty. There can be no great accomplish- ment, no lasting triumph in any work without a deep, unswerving devotion that must drive us forward to final achievement. Verbal or mental acceptance of any task must be coupled with a sincere determina- tion to bring it to a successful con- clusion, to be loyal to all it may require of us by way of strength, fai,h, or perseverance. We must be true to that which we believe in, whether it be work, or friends, or ideals. In that faith, we shall find a true strength. f'If you are careless, slipshod, in- different, nature assumes that you wish to be a nobody, and grants your wish. Success hinges on loyalty. Success is not an incalculable quality which, like a wandering vsdll- o'-the-wisp, rests aimlessly upon one man's shoulders or upon another's. It is the hard earned reward of men and women who have not been afraid to face life squarely, who have never hesitated to work and fight for that laurel of achievement which we have labeled, success It is the out- growth of ceaseless effort, diligence, and toil, of great caution, persever- ence, and a never lagging interest in that work itself. Indifference, lack of enthusiasm, and consequent disloyalty to our work or interests, constitute strong dissentions to suc- cess, so strong, indeed, that they may well be the forerunners to com- plete failure. !Don't let your education stop with graduation! '-Mr. Stottle. 'With the 'completion of our sen- ior year, we have passed through the doorway that opens. upon the thres- hoid of our future.? We shall have reached the fifst goal of every young scholar, the goal of graduation. Yet it is with some feeling of humility that we may well pause to look back upon the past four years of high school work - - - work which has partially prepared us for the years to come. The training, the increased un- derstanding of life, the practical knowledge that we now possess are worthy both of our pride and of a new feeling of security. Yet, they are but the preliminary hulwark be- hind which we pass over that thres- hold into the future we must now attempt to build for ourselves. The building of that future shall have but scarcely begun with graduation, E , K and by the same token, so shall our education have but passed through the first phases of its development. Never should we attempt to shut the doors of knowledge the moment that we have passed across that stage with diplomas in our hands. That piece of paper represents much to our eyes, yet it does not mean that there is no further need for expansion of education and growth of mind. We must continue to seek more knowledgeg We must continue training our minds by reading, talk- ing, and remaining ever alert to all that is about us. The portals leading to learning are ever wide, barring no one who desires to pass beneath their arched way. Regardless of whether or not our formal education shall have reached its conclusion with graduation, the doors of learn- ing will always remain open. Every- day has its lesson and education is synonymous with life. ill X X x 13 .g l BX 1 . all J D H . fwlj fglvi,--ALLLIJ L M f ., une, Nineteen Forty-one E D S O N l XJ9V Pcl9e Sey-2 .

El-So-Hi, Grlee Club, Operetta, Usher's Club Vice.-Pres., Senior Class Sec., May Queen. By Robert Pitcher Today, the battle has been won. The enemy is ours. On this great day we of 1941 at last autograph visages smilingly blossoming forth from the yearbook pages. However, behind all this ceremony stands a great deal-spirit, cooperation, fel- lowshipfall that goes to make up a happy, carefree group of senior high school boys and girls. To unite such a group, one must have advisers and officers. To Mr. McNaught and our advisers, tribute has been paid in another section of the book. Here we must honor our class oficers, who carry out desired programs and put that 'fzing into the class activities. These officers, working closely with our advisers, are the ones on whose heads the praise rests, and on whose shoulders falls the blame for an unsuccessful event. It is they who ride the rocky road for the Senior class. We Seniors are especially lucky in having had such fine talent in the race for the sometimes undesirable officerships, and for having chosen such fine leaders. After each Senior Home Room has nominated a candi- date, carefully considering his scholarship, personality, and ability, these officers are chosen by a ma- jority vote of the Senior class. It's a hot race, with all the national po- litical fanfare-nominating petitions, speeches, and posters. Finally the officers are chosen. Heading the roster of officers is our good-looking Tony Pulos. Good scholastically, Tony ranks high in the esteem of his classmen as a real fellow. Tony, coupled with his spirit of fair play, has a fine personality which has won him a host of friends - he will go far in whatever field he chooses. Our vice-president, Helen Collins, guided our class as president last year. This vivacious young lady is to be found everywhere there is ex- citement and is always ready to ex- tend a helping hand. Helen Thomas and Mack Ryan, complete our roster of oficers. Helen is the one who eiiciently and calmly takes notes above the harangue of our meetings. On Mack's shouders falls our financial worries and he has brought us safely out of the red to a substantial b.alance. To them, we Seniors say, Thanks a. lot! Good luck!

Woughter Honor Students Having achieved the distinction of accumulating seventeen term ones in three and one-half years of high school Work, these honor students have reached the peak of scholasticism. The Way has not been easy, on the contrary, it has been beset with hard labor and general difficulties: Midnight oil has been burned by the gallon, paper has been filled with scribe by the ream, and some disgruntled individuals even protest that a number of apples have been polished. Be all that as it may, however, merit-pure merit-has gained its just reward. The Record Breaking 147: Donald K. Bailey John S. Barker Jeanette F. Bradley Jenn E. Brotzman Dorothy G. Call Virginia B.

The play was a great success and helped put a lump in the Senior Class pocket- book. The play was written by Aurania Rouverol and William Spence Rouverol. The action of the play took place on the patio of the McIntyre home in a university town in Northern California sometime in the 193O's.

Editor-in-chief Robert Huddle ADVISERS Literary-Mr. James Wilson Printing-Mr. Ralph Palmer Sales-Mr. David Allce Art-Mrs. Kenneth Wiiisor Circulation-900 Sales Conducted by - Student Council i Toclay's Youth In this day of urncertain economic con- ditions, youth is certainly in a Very difficult position. A few years ago, a college education was a ninety percent sure bet for success and security, a craft or trade was a virtual guar- antee of at least enough bread and butter. Today-a college graduate without a job, a well-practiced secretary at the unemployment agency, a factory 'fcog Walking the streets, an idea man seeking backing. What's the matter? Doesn't the world owe its people a job and a home? What's going to happen to youth? Youth is not entirely at fault. It is doing its part in getting an education and training itself for some remunerative endeavor. How- ever, when it faces the world, What does it find? It is the attitude of the older people that causes youth's dilemma! Capital is selfish, labor, unreasonable. Fathers have taken the HW. P. A.-here-we-come! attitude. The older generation thinks that life is the same now as it was, say, 50 years ago. Then, a young person was not expected to know much or to become mature until he was 35 or 40. That was the case then, but today, many of the greatest minds are to be found in persons in their twenties, many of the most industrious workers are just out of high school, and many of the most dynamic personalities can be found in the younger set. As education and individual development advance, so must the attitude of the advocate of the old school . Youth asks only to be given a fair deal. After that, though it has its share of failuires, youth will produce admirably and competently. To me, the great- est stumbling-block to putting the modern edu- cational set-up after leaving school into prac- tise, is the unwillingness of our elders to re- cognize value in its youth. From the world, youth asks but two bless- ings-a healthy body and a sound mind. With these, why the appalling number of idle youth? Through the polls, through the schools, through the church, through the home-society must come to the saner, more cooperative state of mind concerning youth. Youfth can't be eX- pected to pull the wagon and the old horses too. -James Panosian 541 What Right Has Mankind ? A child does not ask to be born, so what right have we to condemn him. We sit so smugly saying we're civilized. Are We? What right have weto shun a person Whose coolr is different, whose creed is different, or whose nationality is different? What right have We to tell our brothers and sisters to stay away from him? What right have We to taunt and mock him? Just because a person is Jewish should We stone him? Should We drive him from his home? Should we take his money? Should We beat him like a dog? No--but We do! Should we make a man Walk in the gutter when We go by because his skin is darker than ours? Should We make him do all the heavy and hard work? Should We make him build his home far away from ours? No-but we do! If a man has worked hard and raised him- self up to a good public position, should We vote against him because he is of German, June, Nineteen Forty-one E D S O N I A N Page Thirty-seven French, or Italian parentage? Should we dis- regard his fine education, his sturdy ideals, and his deep patriotism, because the people of his nationality are waging war? No-but we do! A man is civilized, a dog isn't. But have you ever seen a dog shun another dog because its fur is a different color? Have you ever' seen a little puppy refuse to stay in the same room with a huge, shaggy, dirty dog? Have you ever seen a dog refuse to eat a bone be- cause another dog has touched it? I suppose many of us won't like this com- parison. It makes us a little ashamed to see how narrow-minded mankind is. We can't stand a little of the truth because it's the truth that hurts. Mankind ought to stop being civilized and become civil. Live in a house by the side of the road And be a friend to man. Jeanette Cecchini '42 Make Your Better Best! Some wise person once made the state- ment to the effect that life can be just what one makes it. This old maxim is especially a ro riate at this time for soon hundreds PP P' K y of thousands of young people will be graduated from high schools all over the country and each and every one of them will be faced with the problem of making his or her life. Each of these prospective fighters on the battle-field of life can be compared to an eager race horse at the starting gate. Each one has spent years of work and study to equip him- self for the race for survival in the modern world of materialism. Each one will get his opportunity and will have to make the best of it. Just as in the horserace, not all the horses can win, so, in life not all can lead, but every- one can do his or her best to see that the job is well done, no matter how humble it may be. -J. Robinson '41 Hate-ism Hate is a terrible thing, but we all have it in us. lt makes us belittle and run down the other fellow. NVhy? It's just because we haven 't learned to control it. At a very tender age, it's introduced to us by our parents. They hate spinach, Garbo, and the lady next door. All right, then we hate spinach, Shirley Temple, and the little girl next door. All through our lives the four- lettered word is woven and interwoven. Very few of us have the will power to iight it. Most humans are weak against the battle. Now hate has us all. We hate the big men in Italy, Russia, Germany, because they are trying to crush the democracies. Hate them if you want to, but I'm not going to! We have to fight their ideals tooth and nail, but the minute we start to hate we'll do something we'll always regret-step into war. If we hate the followers, what good will it do us? They're wrong, but don't sneer at them, don't tight them-help them. Help them overcome their blindness. Beating them won't do a bit of good. Show them where they're wrong and we've won. Don't be a god on a pedestal of hate, don't be a bully behind a big front, dont judge the other fellow too quickly. Give him a chance to prove his worth. Grind that hate in the dust of the past-nothing is won by hate. Jeanette Cecchini '42 Education For Security Now, as graduation approaches, two thoughts constantly fill our minds-shall we go to college? Shall we, instead, find a job? This decision-probably the gravest we have ever yet made-rests entirely with us and we owe it to ourselves to think earnestly about it. Why should we g-0 to college? The defense program has created many openings in the world of industry, so why shouldn't we get jobs and start to earn money now? I'll tell you why. When the war is over and this period of inflation and industrial expansion is ended, our jobs would suddenly disappear. There would no longer be the great demand for machines and raw materials, and the jobs which were created to supply this demand would become a thing of the past. Thrown into unemployment, we would be forced to accept government aid or else struggle on alone in a world which will have fallen into the worst, the most devastat- ing depression that history will have ever seen. On the other hand, if we go to college, we shall probably all occupy small but secure positions. Our wages may not equal tho-se of the many who rushed to get factory workfand quick moneynrlbut they will be sure. And when the period of deflation comes, when the world no longer rocks in a state of war and fevered ac- tivity, we shall not be forced to join the huge army of unemployed, who will spring up throughout our nation. We shall not be left, homeless and bewildered, drifting aimlessly in an unfamiliar world. We shall sit safely, able to help ourselves-perhaps even able to help others cast adrift in a heartless post-war world. This, graduate of today, is the situation which confronts us. Do what you may. As for me, I intend to do all in my power to s-ecure a college education. I believe this will offer me the security in life which all of us seek. Gloria Sbedico-'41 Page Thirty-eight E D S O N I A N .lune,Nif19f99l1 FOHY-One The Statue ot Liberty Speaks: Two Students Hear Address Ann Dudley Leavitt My, how different the old harbor looks! Not so long ago I remember the hustle and bustle of luxury liners steaming past my feet. Today how empty and deserted it seems-not a liner in sight! I think I like to remember the old days best. The gorgeous sunrise across the bay was brilliant then- not clouded by the strife of war. The tugs chugged and panted, care- free and careless, as they pushed their mighticr sisters into a berth. Tooting impertinently as a craft twice their size crossed their pathg they were the life of the harbor. I loved the jostling, merry crowds that visited my island every summer. The laughter and joyful shouts made me proud that this was America, so I held my torch a little higher into the air and planted my feet a little firmer on the ground. How quaint the ferries looked, as they steamed back and forth, to and fro all day across the bay! I never looked for company then. The friendly sea gulls rested on my shoulder and I had pleasant chats with the less ad- venturous, who nested in my crown. Each small bit of news was learned from the noisy little gossips at my feet-the sparrows. Twittering and cheeping as they picked up crumbs, they had no fear as long as I watch- ed over them. I shall miss them all -every one. The old harbor looks so different now. The foreign docks are empty save for numerous coast guard eut- ters, destroyers and battleships, for our mighty navy has adopted New York harbor. The birds-my dearest friends-have all flown away, terri- fied at the building. Jeanette Cecchini As the cry Let me hclpf' waft- ed across the broad Atlantic, bowed heads rose, dull eyes brightened, mouths opened in astonishment. Who had spoken? What was that light? There were gasps of surprise as the heavy fog of England's shore rose and the Home of the American Soul -the Statue of Liberty-holding aloft the iiaming torch of freedom, rose from the choppy sea. On her brow was the blessing of peace and she stood with firmness, tried and true. In her eyes were tears-tears of pity for the lives of the trampled millions across the way. Through the murky stillness, broken now and then by shrieking sirens, droning planes, nerve-racking screams, her voice came like balm to a weary soul. Let me pray for those unsung heroes. Let me pray for the child- ren lost. Let me pray for the old and crippled. Let me pray for His guidance. Oh! Let me -help! Let me give you food and clothing. Let me give you guns and ships. Let me help! Drive back those beasts that prowl around your door. Do not falter: I am here. I will not let you lose. Even the thought of the wild ani- mals tearing at your cloak of digni- ty and refinement fills my heart with rage. Don 't give up! Don't let freedom die! With these stirring words the fig- ure receded, but still the Britishers turn their eyes to the blazing torch symbolizing freedom-promising aid. Psychopathic H W. Jenkins It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman! Indeed it is a superman who can win a soap contest or even spend much time on one without go- ing completely-well just completely. I like Ivory Soap because it has rejuvenated my dishpan hands-no, because it has made an entirely new person of me-oh, no, not that! Let 's see-becausexof its creamy suds and marvelous Qeorrosivej effect upon dishes. No, that won't do either. Here is the ,dilemma in which mil- lions of Americans find themselves every day. No wonder our national defense preparations are laggingg no wonder Edna CMiss Millay to anyone clsei complains so bitterly. Such a demoralizing proposition would put any nation in a deep rut. One c.an't glance at a magazine or listen to the radio-especially to azard No. I4 7-8 the daily soap operas-without being immediately confronted with the wonderful possiblities of securing ten thousand dollars, cold cash, a combination food mixer and flour buffer and a box of Gritties cereal or a U century a month for life. One canlt even return to .a supposedly peaceful home without being re- quested for advice and assistance in the composition of a futile entry. Weak in will, he is immediately in- trigued, as I so unfortunately am, by the question. In a few days, he finds himself on the brink of mental uncontrol, scarcely able to control his mind. The worst of it is, though, that he never, never comes out on top. It is a frightful situation, cer- tainly. Finally, what I want to know is WHO and especially WHAT does reach victory-and WHY. It Still Occurs He shifted from foot to foot and swayed dizzily. He turned, kept twisting his head. He was as ill at case as a puppy chasing his tail. He cast wavering glances at those about him, wondering if they all were dis- gusted with him. Y Conspicuous-yes, that was the word for the way he felt. He could just imagine the crowd saying, He'd be such a handsome fellow if-well, if he hadn't-oh, it's so hard to say. Oh! why had he ever listened to his frat brothers? Sure, they said it was the smart thing to do, but right now he felt like crying. Oh, heaven have mercy on the poor, inexperienced college boy. If God would forgive him and get him home safely, quickly, and ,in- conspicuously, held promise never to try a thing l.ike this again-never! His first thought, after he could think a little more coherently, was, should he write home about this. What would his hard-working, trust- ful old mother in Podunk think? She had put so much faith in himg had expected so much from him. Well, he might as well break the sad news to her himself. If he didnlt, she'd be bound to hear of it from some source sooner or later. She had 'al- ways brought him up with the firm conviction that Hhonesty is the best policy. After all, this was the first time that he had ever done anything like this. Yes, he decided, he would write to his mother tonight. He would get this terrible burden off his con- science. Surely, he thought, she would understand his mortification and discomfort of being the only boy in white tie and tails at a sport dance. -Nancy Ridge A Sand Storm Suddenly the quiet heat of noon- day on the desert sands was ob- scured by a blinding, choking dark- ness. With a roar and a howl, the huge, black genie of sand raced across the defenseless plain. Now he would rush from behind and place his hot, gritty hands over someonels eyes shouting, Guesswhooo! Then, in terrifying glee, he would uproot the trees or the tiny oasis and tear up tents with an insane frenzy. The trembling beasts and men of the desert bowed down before him and touched their lowly heads to the ground to appease this freed mad- man. The genie towered above them, gloating over the glory he was re- cciving. In that instant his mood changed or perhaps he merely saw a new and more interesting place to work destruction. He turned on his heels and raced off across the measureless miles. Behind him, ac- companied by a blood-curdling shriek, echoed his cry, Guess- Whooo! -Arlene Mae Smith June, Nineteen Forty-one EDSONIAN Page Thirfy-nine The Modern Dinner Date Brrrrrrrrrt! sang out the phone shrilly. Brrrrt! Brrrrrrrrt! it buzzed still more insistently, until fi11ally Sue -acquired enough ambition to answer it. This is what it sound- ed like to her mother: He--llo Cin a slow, sleepy voice.j This is she. Oh hello, Johnny! QA little excited.j Just fine--and you? Super-duper! Oh nothing much--just lounging around. What's new-- anything? Me? Why, I'd love it! Just a minute. Mother, can--I mean, may I go out to supper with Johnny tonight? To dinner? I know it's a school night, but Qin a pleading voicej I will be in early and I haven't much homework land any- way, I have third period study hall tomorrow. All right? All right! Well, I can go, Johnny. OK that's perfectly perfect. See you at 6:00. Au revoir, mon ami. Well, fancy that, Sue mused, as she did her hair up in bobby pins. I thought that he was going steady with Ruth. Oh well, I'm too ex- cited to worry about that now. By the way, mother, should I wear my pink blouse or my wine sweater? I guess maybe I had better wear a blouse. It looks a little more grown- up. Mother, do you think my blouse needs pressing? Oh well, it will be wrinkled under my coat anyway. Mother, should I wear silk stockings or ankle socks? Maybe I had better wear my new hose. They 're sheer. All this was merely a monologue, due to the fact th-at the rapid fire of questions prevented mother from answering anything. Meanwhile Sue 's mother sadly shook her head and wondered if she had ever been that silly. Naturally she decided in the negative, so she hoped that her daughter would soon grow up to be sensible. It didn't seem possible to her that Sue could get so excited over a mere dinner date. Anyway, she eouldn't imagine what Sue saw in Johnny. He seemed to be just as rattle brained and senseless as the rest of the boys that were constantly found at the Smith home. Ah well, that's ad- olescence for you, considered mother. After the excitement wore off, Sue began to worry about what she should say, what she should order, and how she should order, so she started to fling questions at poor mother again. This time mother answered in detail because she didn 't want her daughter to behave as foolish as customarily. Finally Sue was ready. From the cut out toes of her shoes to the few drops of Tweed on her ear lobes, she considered herself dressed for the occasion-even a few minutes early. Soon Johnny's car, shaking like jelly, came pounding up the street and jerked to a grand stop. Out he flew, slammed the door, and whizzed up the walk. Carefully he removed one of his pigskin gloves and rang the bell. When Sue came hurrying to the door, he proudly swept off his new pork pie hat and announced, All ready? Good girl! Let's go before my car stops out there and I have to be pushed again! Mother received a hurried peck on the cheek from Sue and ia cheerful good-bye from Johnny, as they van- ished out the door and tumbled into the car. Ah me,,' sighed mother with an envious look, how I wish I were young again! -Jane Wittkas Teachers As I See Them Have you ever really studied the numerous teachers that you have come in contact with? Did you ever simmer them down to a definite type? Well, I have-and I have con- cluded that there are four of these types. Let us take type four first. She is usually the cross, severe indivi- dual with no sense of humor, in- tolerant and has lost her under- standing of youth. Her main idea is to drum knowledge into the pupil's head regardless of circum- stances or the pupil's ability. No doubt she would even be so mean as to assign home-work over a holi- day. Nobody likes her and because of this they don't try to cooperate. As a rule, after a pupil leaves her classroom, she is not in the least bit interested what he is like or why he is like that. There is noth- ing but cold formality between the student and this teacher. Second, let us observe type three. This is the kind of teacher that frightens you to death in class, but is just like one of your friends after school. For forty minutes you shake like a leaf, but upon visiting her at four o'clock you probable con- fess all of your opinions without any embarrassment. She usually gives plenty of home-work, but not an unreasonable amount. After com- pleting her subject you would re- member no doubt, not only the facts, but especially the teacher herself. Next comes type two. She usually makes a good first impression. Her clothes are attractive, her manner is cheerful, and tests are simple. As a rule she is young and quite popular, so she doesn't have too much time to spend on thinking up difficult assignments. Because she hasn't a great deal of time, her assigned lessons are short and easy to correct, therefore, everyone likes her at first. Soon, however, they begin to desire a little attention out- side of the classroom, but she ,hasn't, time to give it to them. Her class periods might be amusing, but after graduation they will remember some other teacher. Now for the nearly perfect type one. She has almost all of the good qualities of the other types and few of the disadvantageous very ones. Her class period is made interesting and amusing by her keen sense of humo1'. Because of her diplomatic and friendly manner, everyone is willing to cooperate to the last de- gree. I do not mean, however, that she is too easy and doesn't make her pupils learn, because that is not her way. They learn just as much about the subject as with type four, and certainly are more agreeable in doing it. Because of her friendly in- terest both inside and outside school hours, she is liked by almost every- one. I consider this type the ideal teacher. Perhaps you don 't agree with my ideas-that is up to you. Perhaps I am being too critical, but that is my candid opinion and I shall stick to it. Incidentally, I am not think- ing of any one special teacher, but the whole faculty of this school and the one I attended before. -Jane Wittkas Dog's Thoughts The other day I saw a huge collie dog perched precariously on the run- ning board of a fast-moving car. His shaggy mane was flying in the wind. He had an adventurous, yet a timid air. After the car with its daredevil passenger had turned the corner, I began to wonder just what the dog was thinking while being rapidly propelled down the street. Perhaps he was thinking: My, how brave I am to be doing this! Nothing frightens me and no one is as ,great -as I. Let the horns honkg let the sirens shriek their shrill warning, let the wind rush pastg it 's great to be alive and in the middle of an adventure. Perhaps, in spite of his debonair appearance, he was thinking: I wish my master wouldn 't go so fast, I almost fell off when we turned that last corner. Of course I mustnit show that I'm afraid because we might meet one of my friends. We might even meet Queenie and I want her to be proud of me. I'm strong and fearless, but I do wish he'd go more slowly. He might be thinking, even as you and I in times of danger: Any moment may be my last, I can see my past sins coming before me. If I arrive home safely, I promise to reform. Really, I didn't mean to take Rover's bone, besides, he was finished with it-well, almost finish- ed. Next time I'll come as soon as I'm called. I shall correct all my had habits and form better ones. Please let me get off alive. What do you think about dogs on Page Forfy EDSONIAN June, Nineteen Forfy-one running boards? Do they revel in the rush of the wind, or :are they frightened to death by the .speeding cars, the shrill horns, and clanging street cars? That is a question to which dog-fanciers all over the coun- try would like an answer. -Loretta Ann Kilkelly Peace The great hills loom up before us like the palisades of time only to fall behind to a world of grief and regret. We enter the woods of pine, cedar, and spruce, pause a moment for the thrill of fresh n.ature-sweet.- ened air, and then go deeper within. The friendly trees throw their flex- ible palms above us in a great fan of speckled colors, shutting oif the din of the outside world. A yellow song bird welcomes us with a cheery bit of natures symphony in G Minor. A timid little chipmunk peeks out, unafraid of those that would venture so deeply into mother nature's arms. Then the colorful fan above us opens and .a sea of deep blue, a mirror of the past, reflects hopes and dreams of the future that lies before us. As we lie on our backs looking up into this huge mirror, the world seems upside down and far away. Visions of loved ones cross above us in a maze of soft gray and pur- ple, and are wiped away by some soft, creamy cloud, which also blots out any tear that may have come while we were dreaming. The clear blue brooklet by our side sings us to sleep amidst a tumb- ling, bubbling raphsody of the clear- est, sweetest notes we have ever heard. There are no nightmares in this sleep but beautiful dreams of sun and stars and the fragrance of newly budded roses. We awaken to End a host of play- ful stars twinkling and blinking above us, bidding us stay longer. The moon looks down on us and casts its lazy smile across the pines, mak- ing the flairy-shadows dance with joy. Here we have found peace serene. But now we must go back to a world of men, war and death once again. We return to our place in life to learn of murderous wars, the star- vation of little children, the de- struction of loved homes, and all the other horrible concomitants of war. When we would find peace again, we must look to the woods in spring- time. Peace is there, for we have found it before. -William Woughter War: Always A Losing Game War! That deadly, disastrous, and most uncivilized condition in which we find the world today-all because of greed. War! What is gained by it except power and areas of desolation .and devastation? War! What is lost by it? So much that the losses overbalance the gains-as lead would feathers. Land and power? What good are they in comparison to the millions of lives lost? Think of young men with high ideals and aspiration, giving up their dreams for utter slime, cold starvation, and too often a lonely death. Think of the women, children, and older men who are victims of this horrible modern war- fare. Do you-could you-consider the accomplishments of war again? Land and power? What good are they in comparison to the civiliza- tion and morale lost? Destruction waits, hovering like ,a hawk, for the churches, public buildings, art gal- leries, libraries, and other symbols of civilization, when that dreaded threat, war, is realized. War, caus- ing poverty, starvation, and the de- struction of homes, is certainly no incentive to high moral living. Whole nations lower their moral standard to an incredibly low point. Do you-could you-consider the ac- complishments of war a gain? . Land and power? What good are they in comparison to the billions spent for defense 'or offense, for waging war, and later for rebuilding stricken lands? Think how many people could be helped, instea.d of killed, by this spending. Think of the buildings that could be erected instead of destroyed, by using the money wisely. Do you-could you- consider the accomplishments of war a gain? If only those war crazed rulers would ponder these thoughts and weigh them in their minds, perhaps they too would realize that war truly is a losing game. -Jeanette Bradley Where Do We Go from Here ? Where do we go from here? is the question most young people are asking today. Is there any won- der that we ask that question? Here we are in nearly the only peaceful country in the worldg but conditions here are not so good as they might be - unemployment, rearmament. Some of the fellows joke a little about digging post holes when they get out of school, but behind this joke has been some real thinking. Will we be another generation of soldiers, or will we be :able to follow our chosen professions? The adults who are running the country have seen war and know its horrors, not only in pain and suffering, but also the economis conditions which result at home. However, on the other- hand, they have seen a generation grow up, follow their professions, and establish themselves as good Americans. The young people have seen the way too, but only the gla- mour and glitter, through soldier's eyes. But they also have seen suc- cessful Americans to whom they look up, ones who have homes and secur- ity. So here we are in a world bristling with cannon and sword, in a country of many problems, totter- ing on the edge of the road to war, with its youth's future uncertain. Is it any wonder that we ask, Where do we go from here? Understand, I am not disowning the United States, for there isn't a thing that I wouldn't do for my country. However, speaking as a youth, I know that we don't want to go to war, and from study I know what war brings. The strong- est argument that the United States has for not going to war, I think, is the future of its youth, for doesn't Uncle Sam boast that we are the finest in the world? -Robert Pitcher On Choosing My New Clothes Clothes, to me, are a rather un- important part of life, especially when they are intended to serve any other purpose than the maintenance of body temperature. When I was about ten, it was de- cided that I should be given an opportunity to choose my own suit. I went, I saw, I purchased! Yes, it was as simple as that. Almost completely unconcerned as to its style or type as long as it was com- fortable, I took very little time in picking. On reaching home, I en- joyed the pleasure of being congrat- ulated on such excellent taste. This was taken with a grain of salt, of course. Since that time there have been numerous similar occasions. Neck- ties, shirts, shoes, and socks have all been subjected to the scouting of my discriminating Cthey thinkj eye-always with the same success- ful outcome. Only recently I drop- ped into a store to investigate the possibilities of acquiring a new coat. The first one, tried for size, felt so good that I took it on the spot with no further ado. At those times when mother ac- companies me on one of these ex- peditions, however, the situation is absolutely reversed. We journey from store to store, examining every- thing to be had, only to be disap- pointed in our quest. Somehow, when I am in the company of a woman, a large amount of wom:an's inherent indecisiveness seems to be instilled in me. At last, reaching the limit of my endurance, I hit upon something or other that appears to be exactly what we have been look- ing for. On seeing it at home, how- June, Nineteen Forfy-one EDSONIAN Page Forty-one ever, for some unexplainable reason, the other members of the family wrinkle their noses like so many rabbits. Is there anyone in the world capable of throwing a light upon this phenomena? In my wide travels QLD I have yet to find one. All in all, there is no prospect of release from this sad state of af- fairs until I am old enough to vote, at which time I hope to be under neither the jurisdiction of a fussy parent nor the critical observation of the bunny-beaks. -Weston Jenkins The Land of Never Again The Land of Never Again is a huge country with life as its acreage and death its boundary line. De- spite its size, this country is very popular. As a matter of fact, I believe everyone lives there most of the time. Well, we must be pop- ular, so let's investigate a life in this country. The youngest inhabitant of this strange land .is but two years old. What is the string trailing along be- hind her? Let 's see. There we find a sucked thumb, cans of strained baby foods, and a book of baby talk. The youngster is saying, Never Again as the string catches in a shrub on the hillside. A slightly gawky, boyish figure of ten, nears the foot of a hill, dragging a scraggly string in the mud. Boy- ish pranks, mud pies, skipping piano and dancing lessons, and pig tails all fall into the mud as the girl shouts, Never Again and crosses the stream. Now a vivacious young woman approaches a high mountain. She is pulling a long string ladened with school, boyfriend problems, senior proms, senior banquets, scoldings, and themes to rewrite. Anyone can tell that this eighteen year old girl lays her string down regretfully, but with determination to reach the heights of this hill as she dolefully chants, Never Again. Ultimately we can see a smart young woman exploring Success Mountain. As she nears the foot of the mountain, her string of a happy carefree life, the thrill of being twenty-one, dates with Tom, Dick, and Harry, and the pleasure of being called Miss is caught there on the chapel's stone wall. There it remains as the young woman hums, Never Againi' to the tune of Lohengrin's Wedding March. All through life the matron whis- pers, Never Again until she steps over the boundary line with death. -Virginia Elwell Poets' Corner Ode to a Dying Pup He left ,it where he found ity Went on his way once more. And the cold waves around it, Washed it further up the shore. He left it where he found it, Cringing in its pain, With the cold waves around it, And the never-ending rain. He left ,it where he found it, A dying little pup, But, the cold waves around it, Took the dying creature up. Yes, he left it where he found it, Dying on the shore, But the cold waves around him, Froze his heart forevermore. -William Woughter The Flag I sat in school, the teacher talked, My thoughts were far away. I thought of them in London, And the bombings every day. How brave they were, the pain they bore, The dear ones that they lost, The schools closed, rationed food, And the tremendous living cost. Then I looked up and saw Old Glory Floating in the breeze. It set my mind and heart at rest, I found myself at ease. The flag means what? the teacher said, I rose with the ease of a King. And said, To we Americans, The flag means everything. -William Woughter '40 Loyal LiH'le Boy Shall I go on a sit-down strike, Or shall I remain loyal, And kiss all mammafs women friends, And take my Cod Liver oil? Shall I get wise and run away, And become someone royal, Or shall I stay home with mother dear, And take my Cod Liver oil? But if I can stand it till I get big, I'll have been both loyal and royal, So I guess I'll stay home with mother dear, And take my Cod Liver oil. -William Woughter Qld lvlan's Dream That little creek, that mammoth tree! All alone, just God and me. I came, the water was so still, A dive, a splash, a healthy chill. The creek was small, the water blue God seemed to swim beside me too. And now-an aged man am I, Happy children pass me by. Alone I dream, with a sigh, Oh! once again before I die. -William Woughter '37 Romance of Carrying the Mails Ho hum. Another bag of mail to deliver and a heavy one at that! Oh-h-h de-e-e-ar. I wish I hadn't sat up so late last night. I'm ter- ribly sleepy. Nothing exciting ever happens to a mailman. It's always just the same old routine over and over-drop a letter here and another there. Guess I'll stop at the house and catch forty winks. Nobody'll die if this mail is a few minutes late .... Boy, this couch is comfortable. It w0n't .... take .... me long . . to .... doze . . . od. Ummmmm. What,s this? Do I hear voices? 'I'here's no one here. It almost sounds as though the noise comes from the mailbag. Why, the letters are talking! I wonder what they 're saying. I'll be quiet and listen. Wouldn't you think that old mailman could tell I was in a hurry to arrive at my destination? After all, not every letter is postmarked France. Because of me a great friendship will grow. I can hardly wait to see the pleasure on Mary's face when I come. You may come from France and maybe you 'll make Mary happy, but Um more important than you. I'm carrying some money to the poor widow, Mrs. Jackson, from her son. He has been working so hard to earn it and is so happy to be able to help his mother. If that mailman doesnit hurry, maybe I won't 'ar- rive before the mortgage is fore- closed. I'll grant that you two are im- portant, but I don 't think either of you will experience a greater thrill than I shall when Mrs. Carsen learns through me that her son is still alive and well, you know she couldn't destroy his determination to fight beside his English cousins. She has been so worried. I do wish I could hurry and reach her hands. I bet I'm more important than all of you put together. At least if I'm not in the hands of the gov- ernor before long, he won't know in time to prevent the strikers from Page Forty-two EDSONIAN June, Nineteen Forty-one blowing up the government arsenals. I should think that mailman would hurry. ' l Well, I .am telling Mrs. Crabb that she's a grandmother. I1m bringing a message of cheer to- HI... I... I'm.... Oh, what a dream! I might have known my conscience would bother me. Say, according to that dream, there is more romance in carrying the mails than I thought.. Let's see. Why, here is the one from France, and here are those for Mrs. Jackson, the governor, and all of them. I had better rush. These people are depending on me. -Jeanette Bradley Happiness Offered They told me I must soon leave all I had known and loved behind me, for the years had taken their heavy toll. Yet, when they told me this, I felt no sorrow. I longed only to give to someone the greatest treasure I had known throughout the years-the secret of happiness. I went to a man who possessed great riches, and to him I said, I offer you my one remaining treasure -happiness. He eagerly stretched out his hand to take it. For a mo- ment he held it tightly. Then it slowly slipped from his grasp as he greedily reached for more wealth and power. I went on to a great statesman. To him, I said, HI place this great gift in your hands. Hold it closely. For a moment, he held it closelyg yet even as he did so, his deeply lined face saddened yet more, and it slipped through his fingers, .as he turned back to the care-worn world he knew. I next sought out a king, and of him I pleaded, Take ,it in your royal grasp. Can you not hold it fast? Yet in his trembling, troubled hands, the monarch could not even grasp it for the most brief of moments. And so I found myself asking, Is there no one who can ind it in his heart, and in his mind and life to hold the Happiness I offer him? Then I saw a child, a bonnie child with eyes as clear and soft as the blue skies overhead. And so, into his small palms I laid that treasure I had offered to great men. I saw two chubby hands grasp it firmly, and there it lay securely nestled within the small fingers that so ef- fortlessly curled about it. I looked no more. -Dorothy Call Who is Santa Claus? Just who is Santa Claus? Why, he is characterization of the spirit which almost all of us possessed at Christmas-time. He is the spirit of giving and generosity. Since I was old enough to walk, I have always felt a thrill at the mention of Santa Claus. At first, his name brought to mind a por- trait of an old little man, dressed in red, with pack on back, and with a stomach which shook, when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly. A few days before Christmas, I would voice my desires in a note which I slipped under the door. In the morning it was always gone-he had come for it! Then came a shocking surprise! Naturally curious, I began to find discrepancies in the legend of good old St. Nick. Finally, one day, at her wits end from evading my ques- tions, my mother was forced to re- veal the naked truth. Indeed, simple as it was, it was hard to grasp, I pondered for weeks on this matter. To this day, Santa Claus seems more or less real to me. Perhaps this is so because every- one in our family is always as en- thusiastic about Christmas as a small child. Frequent allusions to the fat little elf are made and are always very well received. No doubt this may seem juvenile to some, yet it affords us no end of pleasure. At any rate, as I said before, Santa Claus is the personification of the benevolence which prevails at Yuletide. As long as Christianity exists on this beautiful, but troubled. earth, I maintain the myth of St. Nicholas will remain to delight the hearts of adults as well as children -yes, until the very end. -Weston Jenkins The Pleasures Of Eating To many, there is no more enjoy- able pastime than eating. After a person has partaken of a sumptuous repast, a comfortable, satisfying feeling steals over him and all's right with the world. However, out- side of that certain feeling there are several situations, which, if they can be accomplished casu-ally and suc- cessfully, make the novice or sea- soned ep,icure feel rightfully proud of himself. I would like to discuss two of these situations. The first of these is the proper method of consumption of some of mother nature 's bountiful fare. Spa- ghetti and corn on the cob seem to be the most perplexing problems which arise to the average dinette epicurean. A quarter mile of spag- hetti ,is the limit of the 'average person until he learns the proper fork and spoon methodg then two miles can be easily consumed as he basks in the light of his admirers. What a feeling! Oh yes! There 's the corn on the cob-there's a slippery proposition! In this case nature has provided the knobs on the ends of the ears-the eater 's salvation from butter and salt. But don't think you're sitting pretty when you have mastered corn and spaghetti, for when you advance to banquets and testimonial dinners, more and dif- ferent food problems arise-arti- chokes and lobsters. Advice on these will be forthcoming when I have mastered them. Now the second problem and to- be pleasure raises its ugly head- the menu. Several large New York Hotels are lending a helping hand as they promise to omit French from their menus. However, to the sea- soned epicurean, this is a detriment. No doubt he can ramble on in French like a native and impress his friends. Much of the joy of his meals is taken away since he will soon have no French with which to show off. But to the novices, like you and me, who just toy around timidly with the French menu, it is an aid. A person shouldn't have to know French to order ham and eggs! I'll try to struggle with the French though, for I may someday have enough money to eat at the Ritz- more! Eat, drink and be merry, and you will be merry if you learn how to eat. I don 't mean a complicated diet, I mean just learn to manage the common utensils. If you follow this simple advice, you'll have that comfortable, well-fed feeling that comes from knowing that you've eaten right. -Robert Pitcher America 'For Me I am an American and proud of the privilege. Just this knowledge makes me hold my head at a proud- er angle, when I walk down the street. I love America. It 's Amer- ica for me. Today I saw a squadron of .air- planes ilying overhead. I stood and watched this stirring spectacle with- out fear. When they had finally faded from view, and I had again started on my way, I thought, What would I have done if this were England, France, or Ger- many? I would have scampered madly into an air-raid shelter wit.h scores of others, huddled in fear and trembling. Airplanes hold no ter- rors for me because this is America. It's America for me. During the night I heard a siren. I jumped out of bed to investigate. If this were London, Paris, or Ber- lin, I would have remained in bed, shivering under my warm blankets, and expecting at any moment to have a bomb as my bed fellow. Thank heaven that I can sleep peacefully at night. Oh yes-it's America for me. Wherever one goes, one hears var- ious arguments for and against our presidential candidates. If this were Europe, would these discussions be June, Nineteen Forty-one EDSONIAN Page Forty-three allowed? No. In Germany, Herr Hitler is supreme, Herr Hitler is a godg Herr Hitler can do no wrong. I'm glad that I can express my opinions without fear of a concen- tration camp. It's America for me. I don't have to scurry through back streets and alleys because I'm of a certain nationality or of a cer- tain religion. I can walk boldly on the street and not be forced to run, when a policeman approaches. Here I have freedom of speech and lib- erty. It's America for me. -Loretta Ann Kilkelly An Ideal American Does an ideal American really exist? What ideals does a truly ideal American have? Here is my recipe for such a person:- 3 cups of love for country and home. 2 cups of education. 1 cup of golden rule 1 heaping tablespoon of -all sea- son health. 2 cups of common sense. 1 large dose of responsibility to count.ry and home. Place 3 cups of love in world and distribute to country, home and peo- ple. Fold in the 2 cups of education and I cup of golden rule until firm. Beat the I heaping tablespoon of kindness until it will stand up. Sift all season health, and 1 cup of com- mon sense three times. Add to first mixture and place among congenial friends for one hour at 400 to SOOF. Sprinkle with I large dose of re- sponsibility to home and country, and be sure to distribute evenly. Serves a nation of people if pro- perly distributed. -Betty Slingerland Washington: True American Every year we celebrate the birth- day of George Washington, an ideal American. At a time of strife, his courage and greatness led a whole nation to victory. Washington's outstanding traits were honesty, truthfulness, personal bravery, and fairness. Never, in any of his financial or political dealings, was his honesty questioned, never was he accused of telling an untruth -in fact, many stories are told of his great regard for the truth even when he was a childg never did he hesitate in battle or subject his troops to conditions which he would not have accepted, never did he, as president, condemn a political enemy without studying and care- fully analyzing the case. Surely these traits make Washington an ideal American. Washington lived during a time of strife and great injustices, but O I Painting The two great purposes for which paint is used are protection and or- namentation. With that enlighten- ing bit of information that you probably knew before, we enter up- on a discussion of three kinds of painting-house, picture and face. We paint our houses because it preserves the wood and improves the appearance. Another reason is that if the house is painted in the proper color, the dirt won't show. This last reason is the one that interests me most of all, for I have found that by knowing the color of a per- son's house, you can easily tell where it is located. If a person lives in .a brown house, you can be sure he lives near a railroad or else a factory from which soot is blown. If his house is white, he probably lives in the suburbs, far from the dust of the city. I often wonder who first conceived the idea of house paint- in . is for picture painting, I believe the old ones are the best. Today, a painting that looks like an omelet riding on a Hash of lightning, might be entitled Sunrise Over Mt. Zoar Hill. I'm not saying that all of our modern paintings are in this category, although a great number seem to be. I honestly think that many of our twentieth century au- thors paint better pictures with words than our artists do with paints. Ah, now for the last and - to the women - the most important painting of all - face painting. The encyclopedia says, A good quality of paint should posses good fbody' or hiding power. In that simple statement we have the reason why women use cosmetics. Not that I have anything against cosmetics that are properly applied. However, wo- men who plaster their faces with rouge and lipstick are my pet peeves. They not only detract from their own appearances, they also subject other females to unjust criticism. I will admit that most women look better with cosmetics than without. Paints, painting and their histories are very interesting. Don't you think so? -Loretta Ann Kilkelly he never allowed himself to become bitter and hard. Thinking only of his countrymen who were suiering, he made great sacrifices in order to help them and did all in his power to aid them in breaking away from the country which was treating them unfairly. Honesty, truthfulness, bravery, fairness, loyalty-if only more peo- ple in this troubled world today possessed these characteristics-if only there were a second Washing- ton! Then, perhaps, the war could be ended and peace could once more reign. -Gloria Sbedico Musical Moods Here I sit with tears slowly sliding down my cheeks and my mind a mil- lion dreams away. Why? It's be- cause Tommy Dorsey is playing I'll Never Smile Againft This may sound silly to you, but when the first few bars are played, I immediately sink into a dreamy sentimental mood. It isn't just this one melody that affects me because My Ros- ary , A Million Dreams Ago and Ramonal' are just as effective to put me in a quiet, thoughtful frame of mind. Even when I feel extreme- ly happy, mild mellow melodies re- verse my emotions. No sooner does the mcloncholy mood dissolve than hot swing changes my attitude to that of a hep-cat. Ah yes, nothing like Jute-box Jivew to start me on a little rug-cutting- mentally, of course. I can always meet the sun half way with the aid of a little solid jive. No matter how tired I tam after four hours of danc- ing, whenever Glen Miller sends forth with Boog-It, I forget fa- tigue. Just let me hear any orches- tra with good even rhythm and I can give hep and follow through. I always say that there is nothing like a rousing march or a song to make a boy army-minded. Whenever a parade marches by with the army band blaring forth, it sends shivers skimming up and down my spine. Doesn't it aEect you that way? If I were a boy, I would rush right over to the nearest recruiting office and enlist. That's how music arous- es me! Consequently, whenever I hear an enthusiastic crowd singing God Bless America, my loyalty for my country shoots up to the last degree, and I want to encore it with I Am an American! If I were an army recruiting officer, I would use music to encourage boys to get in the mood to join. Why ,is it that music affects me so? Could it be that I have a great deal of savage blood that crops out whenever I hear any form of rhythm? Someone far more intelligent than I will have to explain that to me and to all the rest of the popula- tion that is affected in the same man- ner. It certainly would be fascinat- ing trying to discover why music creates moods, wouldn't it? -Jane Wittkas The coiee tree is a native of what was once Abyssinia. The sperm whale grows to a length of ninety feet, and weighs about a ton per foot of length. Glass was produced along tl1e valley of the Nile as early as 1500 B. C. Some of the great fortunes of modern times were founded on a thriving fur trade with the Indians. Page Forty-four EDSONIAN june, Nineteen Forty-one On Dinner Time Conversation In my vast expanse of life UD I have determined that each class of people must have a different type of dinner-time conversation. They don 't act the same, so how can they dis- cuss identical subjects? These are my conclusions. Let us take the farmers, for ex- ample. Now what do they talk about? No doubt the first sentence that Mr. Acres utters, as he sits down for a hearty meal is, t'Well, I finished plowing the south field to- day. Some job, tool From then on, the conversation is built around the land, what it will yield, and how soon it will bear crops. Mrs. Acres is intensely interested, too, because that plot of earth will mean her food for next winter. After his topic is completed, she turns to juicy bits of gossip heard over the party tele- phone. This supplies the humor for the meal. By the time each has con- tributed his bit to the conversation, the meal has ended. The society couple has a definite type of chatter at dinner time, too. These two are usually so busy throughout the day with their indi- vidual interests, that this is the only time they can be together. As a rule Mr. de Luxerie starts off the conversation with, Had a bad day today. Only parred a 120 playing golf with old J. B. From then on the topics vary anywhere from her trouble with the maid's uniform to his bad indigestion from lobster salad. As their day has been spent in so many occupations, they don 't have time to go into each in detail, so they shift from one subject to another. Mrs. de Luxerie obtains her gossip while relaxing under her hair- dresser's adept fingers. She conveys this to him, thus furnishing the fla- vor to the meal. By this time they stroll into the library for their codec. The least amount of talking is done between the newly-married couples. After the usual kisses and loving stares, Mr. Blisse questions, Well, what has my dove been doing all day? From then on, between long silences, the conversation is one affectionate statement after another with wifey cooing over her big wonderful manl' and hubby praising his own little pet for her at- tractive fruit salad. For the humor- ous side of the story Mrs. Blisse describes her attempt at baking a cake. Of course the meal wouldn't be complete without a little scandal, so she tells how her neighbor ran off with the piano-tuner, thus adding a little variety to the usual run of conversation. Oh, me! I would like to be a little fly so that I would flit from family Airplanes: For Peace Only As a rule, when we think of airplane in military service, minds turn immediately to bombing of objectives and aerial defense of those positions. be sure, this utilization of the the our the the To fly- ing machine plays an important role, but this is not its sole use in the armed forces of today. As a matter of fact, when man first rose into the air while engaged in warfare, he had no thought of doing any fighting there-his idea was to dis- cover the secrets of enemy artillery and troop emplacement. As early as the Civil war, captive observation ballons were in small employment. During the World War, however, these sausages proved impractical because of their vulner- ability to machine gun fire. As a result, observation airplanes were conceived. These eyes of the army proved far superior to their lighter-than-air cousins. Not only were they better fitted for defense, but they could penetrate far into enemy territory, therefore the ad- vent of the two-seater Pfalz and Bristol ships. Today, such planes as the English Westland Lysanders are being widely used for photographing and securing general information of the opponent 's strongholds. They have not been given a chance, how- ever, to assist with the direction of artillery fire. Observation planes serve many peaceful purposes. One of these im- portant duties is the making of mosaic piture maps in coast and geodetic survey work. East ship flies for hours upon end, back and forth in straight lines over a given terri- tory-as a farmer plowing a field. Cameras constantly clicking, it final- ly succeeds in photographing a large area. Again, the extent of f'lood damage is often determined by the Air Corps so that relief to the strick- en may be expedited. Most interest- ing of all these activities, probably is the story of what the Army did to the active volcano Mauna Loa, in Hawaii a short time ago. Acutely aware that this 'great mountain was about to erupt, pouring forth its lava on the towns belowg geologists took careful notes on the condition and location of certain fissures in its sides when they were taken aloft by Army fliers. A few well-placed bombs quelled the subterranean agitation in short order. The airplane is today one of the most potent forces in warg it is one of our greatest friends in peace. May God grant that its use will be turned totally to peace. -W. H. Jenkins to family to see and hear the various dinner-time conversation. Wouldn't that be fun! -Jane Wittkas The Story of Our Campers Have you ever stopped to think of how many types of campers you know? I have come to the conclu- sion that there are four basic types. Do you agree? Well, let us see. First there is the camper-usually a female-who just loves to rough- it. That 's why she rents a cottage at Lake George. It's absolutely primitive, my dear, back to nature and all that sort of thing, you know. She nobly struggles along with only two maids, a cook, and a chauieur, three telephones, a. radio in every room, an electric refrigerator, and an electric range. For months after her return, she entertains her friends by enumerating the joys of the simple life. She even gave up breakfast in bed for one whole month. Another type is the relative who camps. He doesn't pick a quiet lake or a shady forest as his camping place. Oh no, he chooses your house. Just as soon as school is out, he appears in all his glory. One would not be too bad, but just to make it cozier, he brings the family - the whole family plus the dog. The dog has fleas, the baby cries, aunt Mabel has heart disease and can't do a thing, uncle Joe is just plain lazy and won't do anything. Every year you decide you will be gone when they arrive. You never are and they continue to camp in the same lovely spot year after year. Our third type is the summer swing camper and the winter daven- port camper. I-Ie is usually around the ripe old age of seventeen and usually camps where there is a girl of the same age. In the summer he sits on the porch swing, drinks pop, and whispers sweet nothings into the shell-like ears of the object of his affections. This procedure differs but slightly in the winter. The young man sits on the daven- port and eats popcorn. The last type is the real camper. At the first sign of spring, he is oE into the woods. He sleeps under the stars, cooks his own food, even catches his own meat. Yes, he is a man - a real man who enjoys liv- ing out of doors. He doesn't just talk about life in the woodsg he does it. Those are the campers I have known. Do you know the same ones? -Loretta Ann Kilkelly '41 The earliest record of silk is that it was being produced from the cocoons of silkworms in China about 2640 B. C. The basis of most perfumes is a volatile essential oil of aromatic flavor, diluted or blended for various tastes or markets. ,-,-,-l,,iELMlRA SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL EDSCNIAN A Page Forfy-six E D S O N I A N June, Nineieen Foriy-one n June, Nineteen Forty-one E D S O N I A N Page Forty-seven' Class of 1942 Juniors Accept Seniors' Tasks In its Freshman year, the present Junior class, and new Senior class, could not have been considered ac- tive. Its only function was the Freshman Frolic. The Sophomore year found the class still inactive due to being awed by the upperclass- men, the Sophomore Fiesta was the only social item. In the Junior year things changedg leadership and class spirit began cropping out-two Square Dances, a Liquid Air Demonstration, a Jam- Jaxn-Jamboree, and the Junior Prom. The Square Dances were run off en- tirely without a hitch and were big successes. The Liquid Air Demon- stration, here for the fourth time, was well attended and added even more to the steadily-growing Junior Class treasury. The Jamboree, in March, was a stage show hard to equal-anything would be a success with Dinger and Titus as comedians. The Junior Prom, modeled on a mili- tary ball, had none of the frivolity of the Jamboree. The king and queen were crowned amid military splen- dor, the gym beingfibeautifully de- corated in red, white, and blue. All in all, the Junior class has done much in furthering class spirit, which for a time was thought to be passing away. The class hopes that in its Senior year, under the guid- ance of Mrs. Bogart and Mr. Krause, it will be able to set a good example for the lower classmen.

As I sit here quietly racking my brain, draining it to its last thought, I can see a woman waiting for the bus. She is kicking impatiently at the slush at her feet. The year's first snowfall lies in ruins-trampled by the re- lentless tread of tires on a busy street. Big downy flakes, even now, Hoat lazily out of a stark, milk-white sky. As I look at the sky a small, dull-red airplane crosses the four panes of glass, from left to right. It is a brave little monocoup to face this wild weather, stubbornly point- ing its stubby nose into the wind. A flaw in the windowpane makes its image curiously jump. Across the street, the great A 86 P Co. 's windows shout loudly of Super- Values in huge red price-numbers, carefully subordinated are the names of the super-value articles. Further along the street, crowding forlornly next to the over-powering stone Church, is the fire department. This dismal red-brick structure houses an army of checker-players, supervised by a King, who is allowed to rest his feet upon the desk. Some- times one or more sentinels will sta- tion themselves at the huge front window and watch the traffic flow by in the street below Now and then one appears to do some work. Hard work-this making beds. Directly outside my self-appointed prison, standing tip toe on the curb, is a thin and delicately graceful tree, its branches stripped of all but one half-leaf which flutters mourn- fully in the wind. The people returning from the li- brary jolt me back to sensitiveness of time and a duty at hand. -Norma Louise King Panorama in Summer Valley Cool and refreshing, the slight summer breeze stirs the dust on the unpaved road as we trudge along the steep path. We are nearing the hilltop which rises several hundred feet above the valley. As the top is reached we are suddenly possessed of a feeling of minutenessg we seem so tiny against the great panorama, which unfolds before us. Below us in the valley with its lush fields of corn, clover, and al- falfa, herds of dairy cattle lie in the shade of willow trees as the sun beats down steadily, and winding through the pastures and fields, rippling over endless sandbars and ageless pebbles, the creek flows lazi- ly on. Across the valley, another hill rises like a great hump. Patches of forest, plowed fields, green pas- tures, and acres of yellow grain and red clover make it a veritable patch- work quilt of color. In the distance, the blue ridges of the Alleghenies, hazy and barely distinguishable in the distance, seem to reach up and touch the Heavens. Yet the marks of our modern civ- ilization are present even in this quiet valley. Straight as an arrow, bleached by the fierceness of the summer sun, the highway stretches like a silver cord before us and fades into the distance. Automobiles and trucks seemingly no larger than toys, scuttle up and down the road. On the farther side of the valley, the railroad clings to the side of the hill, while a train, looking as if it had been removed from a department. store window and placed before us, chugs wearily on. Farr to the right, the town, nestling in the surrounding hills, may be seen, its white build- ings shimmering in the rising heat. Such is the valley, one of the thou- sands of its kind in nothern Penn- sylvania. While I lived there, I did not appreciate its qualities, but now, life in the city has shown me that nothing can be more pleasant than the valley 011 a mid-summer after- noon. -Samuel Moskwitz War ancl Why ? Why is there war? Ever since the creation of man there have been con- flicts, some of no consequence, others of great significance. Some were aim- less, others, very purposeful. Today the world is engaged in another con- flict. We wonder what the reason is. Why does Hitler fight? He may be fulfilling a promise, he may be eager for power. Hitler shone through the darkness of the past World War days as the Christmas star did to the wise men. He was a faint ray of hope to the German people and they followed him. He promised them unlimited strength for Germany and the dominance of the whole of Eu- rope. Ever since, Hitler has been commanding while his people have been fighting, fighting, fighting. Now Hitler is attempting to com- plete his greatest task and to fulfill his greatest promise, the conquest of England. Will his iron hand still reign in Germany if he fails? Why is England fighting? She is struggling to protect her people 's most cherished privilege-freedom. The British were a happy, contented democracy-loving people. Then Hit- ler began his conquests-Czechoslo- vakia, Norway, Denmark, the Neth- erlands, France. The English people were uprooted from their quiet life to arm, fight, and defend. They at- tempted to save other countries from the greedy grasp of Hitler. Now they are faced with the gravest problem of all, that of defending their own country, their own independence. Will they succeed? Thus we have war. Always an of- fensive, always a defensive. It be- gan with a mere hand-to-hand strug- gle and has progressed to the serious situation of modern arms and air- craft. The grass always looks green- er on the other side of the fence, so it is said. This is undoubtedly the cause of every struggle. People al- ways want something that is not their own, but, after all, are human lives the proper barter for gaining such possessions? -Janet O'Brien Knit One, Purl Two Large hands, small hands, hands of wealth, hands of poverty, hands of French women, English women, Belgian women, Dutch women, Po- lish women, American women, - once again they take up their im- portant role, knitting for defense. Again the history of twenty-five years ago is enacted in Europe. Amid the tramping of feet can be heard the click of many needles, making sweaters, socks and gloves for the soldiers righting for democracy. As their needles pick up each stich, women sit with thoughtful faces and busy minds, thinking that their sweater or their socks may keep their own son warm. Who knows? When the tired fingers lay down their work at the close of day, they wonder if it is all in vain or will there be peace again. Hitler may check education, mode of living, and freedom, but he will never check the knitting needles. -.Tane Reeder It is estimated that the consump- tion of salt in the United States, for all purposes, is about six mil- lion tons a year - equivalent to one hundred pounds per capita. No historian has yet been able to discover who wove the first rugs. The belief is that early Spanish invaders brought over the ancestors of the beef steer to North and South America. June, Nineteen Forty-one EDSONIAN Page -Forty-nine Sophomores Call To U. S. Appreciation We, the People of thc States, de we appreciate our country as we should? This, the only great nation, now not in war! Every- thing here is peaceful and quiet. When darkness blankets the many cities of this country, we can turn 011 our lights. This is not so with the people of other countries, for when night falls, and darkness comes, every light must be extin- guished. A strict Hblackoutw must be observed by everyone. Even the radio stations have to stop opera- tions during an air raid. Shortly after dark a shrill whistle shrieks through the city. Everyone runs from his house to the nearest air raid shelter, to spend a night of waiting and listening-listening to the bursting of bombs, and the bark of anti-aircraft guns. When dawn finally peeps through, the bombers leave. People step down from their shelters as the all-clear signal is sounded. Thev gaze around them at United U ts a , a city - a city of one-time majestic and serene beauty - now, a city lying in devastation. Their homes, their land, in fact everything they had loved and worked for, is gone. This is one of the many scenes of war-torn Europe today. In the United States, we share none of these fears. The only whis- tles are those of nearby factories, not air raid alarms. At night our cities are illuminated from one end to the other. Food is not rationed, and blackouts are unnecessary. Do we appreciate these facts?'7 We should. Think it over and al- ways remember and cherish this thought, 'tThere's no country so great, so fine, or so democratic as these United States of America. Each and everyone of us is a part of this nation. Each must love, honor, respect., and fight for this, our country of equality and freedom. -Lloyd Bly Charcoal' Attack: Leaves Disaster Hounded until his death, the vic- tim, who had been sought unceas- ingly, was drowned in a mass attack on Charcoal, yesterday. Many times before, people had tried to do away with him. He led a dangerous life, constantly fleeing from one place to another. He was always on the alert for people who looked suspiciously at him. He chose very carefully those with whom he associated. But while living in Charcoal, he met his Waterloo. Charcoal was flooded. Many vic- tims could not swim. Those who could swim, either tried and went down, or were killed ruthlessly by a powder attack from the air. There remained little hope of re- sisting this terrible force. The sur- vivors became fewer and fewer in number. After a fierce battle, calm and peace reigned. Many attempts were made to collect the victims. Relatives, hoping to save their cou- sins, met death in the attempt. Many of these inhabitants of Charcoal would be here today, if it had not been for a blood-thirsty class of human beings ruled by a self- imposed, overpowering dictator. Charcoal is now deserted e its former inhabitants are gone. Will there be any more? Well, I'll leave that up to you. Charcoal is just like any other member of the canine family, and how can the fleas re- sist him. -Margaret Rice POETRY CORNER Education On education 's rocky road O'er which we all must travel, Our ignorant car-loads to unload Our mysteries to unravel. Up and up the hill we mount With slowness, yet with haste, Alert to make each moment count For there's no time to waste. There is no room for shirkers, The group should be compactg There 's little praise for workers, And censure for the slack. When commencement day at last ap- pears And departure hovers night We pause and look back down the years, We 've spent in Southside High. The knowledge we have stored away From beginning to the end, Will walk beside us every day, And be our dearest friend. -Birdie Blakey If Wishes Were Horses Oh! I wish I were a Senior And could push the kids around, To smack the Ereshies 'gainst the wall And knock the Soph'mores down. It's great to be a Senior Although I do not know, I'm just a dumb green Sophie, That 's all I've got to show. Oh! those brassy, bold, young Freshies, Gosh! They surely make me mad, They take us as examples So it's Johnnie don't be bad. I guess they do have lots of fun At Senior Plays and Dances, Ohi for the thrill, the big, big thrill Of those good old school romances. But don't you fret, don't get too moody, Says I to me each day I go, Just one more year and then the pay-off, Then I'll be boss of this great show. -Theone Brooks Horror ot the Torture Chamber First of all, I shall tell you that I am a yellow pencil lying on a counter waiting for someone to take me. Suddenly, I am being lifted up in- to the hands of someone who doesn't know whether or not to take me. I think he has made up his mind to take me because he is putting me into his pocket. I see light again, I notice that I am in a schoolhouse. My owner is a sloppy lad because he carries me around in his pocket full of other things. In class, I am first placed in something that is cutting me, you know, a pencil sharpener! My point breaks, and my master pushes me in so hard that I can hardly bear it. At last I am sharpened, and he is using me to write down an assign- ment. After many days of hard work, I feel very old. I am about two inches long. Another two inches, and it will be my end. Before I go, I want to tell you some of my troubles that I have had to go through. You wouldn't think that I was a pencil if you saw me now. I am all chewed up, this hap- pened the other day when my master had a test and just couldn't think what the answers were. I have an awful headache, caused by heavy erasures. I could tell you many more difficulties I have gone through, but now my duties are done, and my strength is nearly at an end. -Margaret Gessi The Federated Malay States, Bo- liva, and the Dutch East Indies pro- duce about 75fZ1 of the tin used in world commerce.

Everyone who at- tended this dance had a grand time, dancing and listening to Johnny Schmoll pounding out that boogie Woogie rhythm that he can do so well. The success of the dance was due to that one great factor-class coopera- tion. Every Sophomore did his or her part, that is the Sophomore spirit, everyone helping in the de- corating and also in the cleaning up after the fun. If the spirit that it took to put that dance over holds out in their coming activities, the class of 1943 should have a good Junior and Senior year. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated with varied sized valen- tines. The dimmed lights and color- ed spot lights added up to a beau- tifully transformed gym.

Llmericlcs A young man while staring at stars Was rudely jarred by the cars, With temper quite quick, He picked up a brick, And now he's staring through bars. -Charles Putman '44 A quite silly and funny old mule Decided he'd visit our school, But the mule turned quite red, When Mr. McNaught said, To subtract not distract is the rule. -Margaret Herold '45 The1'e once was a girl named Rosey, Who stooped down to smell of a posey, A bee in the flower Was disturbed in his bow 'r And stung her for being so nosey. -Harriet Carpenter '44 There once was a man named Mose, With freckles all over his noseg He always looked neat From his head to his feet, But you should see his red under- clothes. -Mary Smith '44 The hats of 1941 Must surely weigh a ton, With flowers and fruit, And horns that go toot, There isn't a sensible one. -Beatrice Whitmore '45 War Against Slang I would truthfully give my most treasured possessions to know what is going to become of English gram- mar, for in our busy world of today people seem to have completely for- gotten how to speak English cor- rectly. We Americans have unconsciously developed a new language all our own. I'd hate to be a foreigner just coming into the country with little or no knowledge of correct English. After I got here, that knowledge would be just about as useless as a feather in a hurricane, because of the slang that 's being used now-a- days. For example, consider a for- eigner, who has just obtained a job as a cook in a busy restaurant. I wonder just how long he'd keep this job? A docile little customer might come into the store and ask very politely for a 'tfast cup of coffee, and the man at the counter, without giving a thought about the poor for- eigner, might. call to him, Hey cookie! One black out and blitz it. By the time the confused foreigner had time to 1'eason out this order he would be befuddled twice as bad by another order of this nature, One Adam and Eve on a raft. The desperate foreigner wouldn't have even the slightest inkling that this meant poached eggs on toast. Then, after a few more like: One depth bomb and a Dracula's Night- mare , the desperate foreigner would probably get on the first boat and sail right back to where he came from regardless of war peril. About every story has a moral and the moral of this one is Even though it kills you, try to speak English correctly once in a while. They say we are an English speaking nation, but, what do you think? -Jack Tillinghast '45 Objection l I11 my opinion slang is the most effective modern language. Slang- uage is the spoken shorthand. This form of speech provides a vivid con- trast to the contracts and Written legal documents of today. Slang is by no means profanity, although often associated with it. It comes with all professions from la- borers to medical specialists. In every trade, when quitting time comes, the knock off. It is often associated with Bean- neries and hot dog stands and, in my opinion, it advances with class. In high class eating places, although they use French Cthis could be high- class slangj, the dishwasher or cook most likely speaks his part of the slang that's spoken and for my part, So long. Roger Van Buskirk '44 Styles ot Today Just what are the styles of today coming to? Do you know? I cer- tainly don'tl To-day, high-school girls are wear- ing necklaces made from macaroni, safety pins, or rubber bands. Even more sensible teachers and women wear huge chunks of tin or brass, resembling huge ducks, penguins or enormous cannibals. What will they think of next? Why, even women's shoes have glass heels! And hats! Gracious! Ladies' hats have many varieties of garden vegetables, fruits or flowers. Really, nowadays you could make your own hat. Just go into the garden, pull up a carrot or turnip. Even a to- mato might be used. Then, enter the fiower garden and pick a few roses and marigolds. Next, place an apple or an orange on the fiowers, sew to- gether and place a fiuttery, frilly veil over your vegetable cart. Presto! You have your new spring hat. It 's really as simple as that! -Margaret Herold '45 Yearbook Day Oh, hustle and bustle and all thru the halls Tl1e1'e is running, and bumping and whistles and calls The Freshies, Sophomores, and the Juniors all look Up to the Senio1's to sign their yearbook. There is usually no school on this eventful day, And all the kids are cheerful and very very gay, Even the teachers go here and go there, Such an occasion is very rare. So you readily see why I make such a fuss, I'd rather walk home and not ride on the bus, Than have to miss the kindly look Of each gracious Senior who smiling- ly signs my yearbook. -Ellery Solas '44 O A Diary Page Saturday, June 1- At ni11e A.

As everyone has seen, the boys have consistently attempted to practice the christian virtues in their own lives. Their resulting char- acters, ideals, and personalities have made them outstanding in the eyes of their friends, and have set them up as an example for others to fol- low. Members of Hi-Y do not claim to be perfect, but they can say that they have tried to better their own lives, and indirectly the lives of others. In March, several members at- tended the Y. M. C. A. Older Boys, Conference at Schenectady, New York. Here they benefitted from in- structive talks by various prominent speakers of the country. These mes- sages led to their better conception of national and World affairs. Speakers of Elmira and vicinity OFFICERS President ....... Vice-President . . . Secretary .... Treasurer ......

Under Miss Connor 's able and inspiring guidance, this group has tried to promote a love of good music and secure fellowship among music lovers, as Well as to provide Worthwhile social activities for its members. The choir has taken part in assemblies, public entertainments, and radio broadcasts. This year, the group 's oustanding assembly program was the stirring and inspirational portrayal of the Christmas Story. Never were the old Christmas songs more beautifully rendered than by the A Cappella Choir in the Christmas Cantata. Their public performances include entertaining conventions, local civic organizations, and the Parent Tea- cheris Association. The choir was privileged to sing on the first radio program broadcast over the new ra- dio station, WENY, and since then has appeared on several programs broadcast from this station. Their social activities have in- cluded entertainment for musical groups from other cities as Well as picnics and seasonal parties. OFFICERS Director ..... ........... ....

This year, the club was again started, but got off to a slow start. About the middle of the school year, the strength started to come back to the organi- zation until now it is again at full strength. This club was started by Mr. Moore and a number of senior boys. The general purpose of the group is to promote good sportsmanship in every phase of livingg the particu- lar purpose is to help Mr. Moore with gym classes. The gym classes are divided into squads that partici- pate in wrestling, boxing, tumbling, rope skipping, bag punching and parallel bar work. Each squad has to have a leader. These are chosen from the ranks of the Student Lead- ers Club. Besides helping Mr. Moore with gym work, the club has a certain afternoon after school set aside so they can go into the gym and work- out. In this period, they learn how to teach squad work and also learn and play games.

Begy Jane Cone By Dorothy Call The purpose of this organization is to promote and organize athletics for girls, to carry on these sports and activities and adapt them to the needs and abilities of all the girls. It aims to create a feeling of friend- liness between the two high schools of Elmira, and to promote a social unit for girls. The object of this organ is to encourage athletics for all girls of the high schools, to de- velop a spirit of fair play and fel- lowship among students and schools. Nineteen forty-one marks the fifth year of G. A. A. 's existence in S. H. S. This club has seen steady progress throughout that half de- cade, participating in and promoting various activities among its own members and among organizations Without. The highlights from among these activities are the numerous play days which are sponsored year- ly by G. A. A. These provide pleasure for all girls who are inter- ested in athletics, and have more than fulfilled the purpose of this club. During the past year, this organi- zation has continued its usual work in sports as well as entering into various social and charitable activi- ties. Chief among the former were a delightful Christmas party for the regular members, and an alumni party which brought together four former presidents of the club. The charitable activities of this club in- cluded the preparation of a Christ- mas basket and a donation to the British War Relief. One of the most eventful annual undertakings of G. A. A. is the trek to Harris Hill for a weekend of fun and frolic that has never failed to delight every member of the organi- zation. To conclude each year, G. A. A. has its annual banquet at which time awards arc made to the girls whose activities in sports have earned them this coveted recognition. Treasurer ........ Sergeant-at-arms . . .

Since then, the aims of Sigma Delta Sigma have broadened in other directions, especially in the art of living cooperatively with fel- low members. The usual yearly program used for Sigma Delta Sigma is a varied one. In December of this year, a group of members, under the direction of Miss St. John, did make-up for the Senior Play, others later assisted at the production of living pictures at a Parley Coburn Parent-Teachers' meeting. On many other occasions, this organization has been called up- on to give its services. Some of the members produced a play used in the program for a Parent-Teacher Coun- cil Founders' Day meeting. Parts of the Christmas Assembly were un- der the direction of EAE, for ex- ample, the speaking parts were writ- ten by two of its members, the lighting effects, staging, and scenery were entirely the work of EAR, and many of its members took part. For diversion, Sigma Delta Sigma held its annual Regents' Week Dance, this year known as the Hit Parade. They celebrated good old St. Patriek's Day, with a rousing Round and Square Dance. At its meetings, EAE follows par- limentary procedure very strictly. After its evening session, a program is given, this entertainment consists of quizzes, dancing, five-minute dra- mas, and versions of well known radio programs. People in Sigma Delta Sigma do not Work for nothing, its credit system insures that. For selling tic- kets, doing committee work, attend- ing meetings, and paying dues, credits are given. In May, the mem- bers with the highest number of points are sent, as a. reward to the Ithaca College Play Tournament. At the end of the year, Sigma Delta Sigma has a banquet at which some of its members speak, more- over, there is always a guest speak- er, who adds to the evening's en- tertainment. To prepare the people for this event, many picnic suppers are held throughout the year to give the boys and girls an opportunity to practice after-dinner speaking. Through its various programs Sig- ma Delta Sigma helps the boys and girls to enter into the world's ac- tivities as better citizens by train- ing them to cooperate first with one another, and thereby to live more enjoyably among their fellow citi- zens.

We printed that. Remember the overdue book from the library that made you pay some tax, and the little slip you received in your home room? We printed that. Remember that day that a good show Was on at the Strand and you yielded to im- pulse? The next day your parents received a post card saying that you were absent from school the day be- fore. We printed that. On the other hand, remember the good times you had in the library? We printed those library permits. Did you ever see all the records that the Board of Edu- cation keeps about you? We print- ed those too. Although some of the articles we have printed have been connected with your serious moments, some of them have brought you the happiest times of your life. How could you forget those little name cards you gave your girl? We printed those. Remember the novelty program that entitled you to dance with the belle of the ball? We printed those. The hats and souvenirs that you had at the Senior Carnival were printed by us. Some of the best scandal was printed in our little paper called Printers Pi, and many a boy was fooled by our book, 'fWhat I Know about Women. One of our finer works was that book for the director in which all shops were included in pictures and print.. We printed that. Some of the girls in the design class remember the Christmas cards we printed for them. You can remember all the notices you have seen on the main bulletin board. We printed most of those. The purpose of this club is to com- bine the interests of the member with the other clubs outside the city and to create an interest among the boys of the club to make better printing products. Some boys envy membership in this club because to be a member you must have com- pleted at least one year in the print shop. The activities of this club have also included social affairs. In Jan- uary and September we have always had initiation. Then, too, there is the annual feast at which it is the custom for each member to eat a pint of ice cream after a full meal.

Cur Print Shop Program Reprinted from Club Crafter The National Student Graphic Arts Magazine Work in the school print shop will provide the students with a vast amount of experiences such as hand composition, proof-reading, the pro- per care and cleaning of type, im- position, press feeding, the cutting of paper, the typographical and ar- tistic designs for tickets, bulletins, folders, programs, office forms, note book covers, personal stationery, Christmas cards, etc., the proper use of inks and paper, the care of ma- chinery, bindery, or the folding, as- sembling and stapling of booklets and the binding of pads, bookbind- ing, or the rebinding of old books and the binding of new ones, paper- making, or the making of paper by the hand process, virkotyping, or raising the printed surface above the paper by the process of melting powder, embossing, or raising the printed surface above the paper by means of a heavy impression, lino- loum, rubber and wood block cut- ting and printing, editorial, which includes the organization, typing, and publishing of school papers and booklets, intaliography, or printing from sunken or lowered surfaces of plates, photography, which includes the making and developing of printsg silk-screen printing, or the printing from a stencil and a silk-covered frame, mimeographing, or the print- ing through a waxed or collodion stencilg planography, or printing by an offset process, plate-making, or the making of zinc and copper plates by a process of photography and an acid bath, and many other activities that may arise through student in- terests. This enriched graphic arts labora- tory program provides our youth with an abundance of experiences to cultivate cooperation, friendliness and individuality. It is a program which brings about a means of stim- ulating intelligent thinking from ac- tual experience. Press work and typesetting may appeal to the mechanically minded pupils, while editorial work, proof- reading and copywriting will inter- est the literary minded students. The artistic minded pupils will find special interest in illustrating typo- graphy, color schemes, and layout work, whereas, organization and management of the school paper will develop certain leadership qualities. In other words, the graphic arts la- boratory, with its wide variety of major activities, is rich in mechani- cal, artistic, literary, social and in- formational values, all of which are vital to worthwhile living.

Stu- dents and teachers alike realized the need for these clubs, for the number of movies not fit for high school consumption being shown in this city was high. This club, then, was to satisfy a, real need. In their semi-weekly meetings, club members discussed the pictures they had liked, and Why they liked them. Were the character portrayals good? Were the scenic shots well made? Did the dialogue arouse your interest? All these, and many more questions were aired to- wards the goal of better apprecia- tion when they attended movies, alone, or with the club. The decision of the students con- cerning the year 's activities: Great fun, and we learned something too! The teacher's: A banner year for Southside youth. We hope that such a club which has so much to offer will continue its work and grow in membership. Secretary ........... Eugene Good Treasurer ....... Barbara Fancher Adviser ......

It is not hard work, but it is important, ,65,w,,,wQfyfM because today When so many countries are ruled over by strangers, it We does one good to see his own flag raised over his home for the day. Besides putting the flag up, the boys also take it down after everyone has gone home. It really is a program for those boys who wwf Nik try never to miss a day. Captain-Wesley Thomas Color Bearer-David Parsons Guards-Charles Wertman Norman Pease Bugler--Preston Hill Adviser-Mr. MacRorie Page Seventy E D S O N I A N June, Nineteen Forty-one Letters to the Editor Dear Mr. Editor: Perhaps it's the urge of Spring and house-cleaning that sends my thoughts in this direction. May I, however, say a word about the lock- ers. Stroll down the hall between class- es. What do you see? Lockers, crammed and jammed, that, once the door is opened, spew forth papers, books, even bottles of ink. The locker is a fair indication of the owne1'. No one can think in an or- derly fashion and turn out neat work if his books are crammed with papers, his locker a confused mess. Such a school citizen will later have a side-walk never cleaned, a back- yard that 's a disgrace to the neigh- borhood. So much for the situation-now the cure? I would suggest inspec- tion of lockers at regular intervals --date unannounced-and notices posted on the door if -the locker needs attention. Then perhaps we may not find papers embroidering the bottoms of the doors and may bc more willing to show visitors about Southside High. Mabel I. Haupt My dear non-yearbook Student, I have heard your many weak reasons for not buying a school year- book. You say that you are not a senior, and therefore you don 't have to buy a book. In my first sentence I answered this objection. This book is not a senior's bookg it is the schoolis book. If you are a true and loyal member of the school, you should buy a yearbook, if at all possible. You say that you do not have the money, or that one dollar is too much for the book. You go to the movie and willingly pay thirty or forty cents admission-in the company of a girl you pay eighty cents. This is not too much. You have forgotten that one dollar is cheap for a yearbook, which sup- ports itself without paid advertise- ments of local merchants. You have not reflected that you'll get more enjoyment having your book auto- graphed on Senior Day than twenty of those forty cent movies could bring. You have overlooked the fact that in days to come you can turn to read those yearbook autographs and comments with even greater enjoyment than the present can predict, whereas you 'll pay the next time you go to the movie. Yes, why should you buy a year- book, which will only gather future dust? But, will it gather dust? The day you see an old school mate, whose name you canlt recall, will you not hurry home to discover his name treasured away for you? You can say, 'thello Jim, the next time instead of a blank hello 5 es- pecially if you're in business, this ability to call one by his first name will do no harm. Perhaps you're blue some night. Don't you think it will do you some good to read the nice things people once thought about you? Don 't you think it will give you renewed con- fidence to go out and win, when you recall the confidence everyone had in you during your school days? It 's my bet that the yearbook will pay you back many times your small in- vestment. Friend, frankly I fail to see your point of view. Sincerely, a friend to friend, Mr. James Wilson Dear Editor: As I am sitting in my study and am thinking about all the improve- ments that have taken place in our school system, consciously or uncon- sciously, my mind turns to one phase of life which has been grossly 11eg- lccted-that of etiquette. As we mention that word, it seems rather formidable, but if we think of it etymologically, it brings the subject more closely to us. The word comes from the Old French esti- quette, meaning e. label. A label, thatis just what it is, a label which will ever remain attached to us. James Mathew Barrie in What Every Woman Knows expresses better than I can what is meant by charm for etiquettej: It's a sort of bloom. If you have it, you don 't need to have anything elseg if you don 't have it, it doesnlt much mat- ter what else you have. Good taste 01' bad is revealed in everything we are, do and have. Do we really show good taste at all times? Have you noticed how many girls and boys chew gum in classrooms, study halls, theaters or other places? All of you definitely know that that does not belong anywhere in polite society, that whenever a vulgar per- son is represented on the stage, he invariably is made to chew gum. Have you ever gone to speak to someone and that person remains, so to speak, Ugluedn to his seat? It's a matter of great impoliteness not to rise when someone is speaking to you. Have you, along with me, heard the continuous yelling in the halls, the shrill and unpleasant voices of many individuals? A lady or gentle- man is known by his well-modulated voice, so the yelling which we hear not only labels the individual but, unfortunately, the entire school. The antithesis to this is the ha- bitual mumbling which we note in the classrooms. All of us know that anything which is worth being said it worth being heard. Speak dis- tinctly, but do not shout! There are many other phases of etiquette in which all of us are in- terested, as for example, the eti- quette of dances-how to invite a girl, how to ask a girl for the next dance and the responsibility towards chaperonesg the etiquette in the theater-who goes down the aisle first, the lady or gentleman, the eti- quette of introductions, table man- ners, and so on and so forth. Would it not be wise and would the pupils not appreciate a definite elective course in etiquette, or poise, or manners, or whatever we may call it? Could we, as a school, not unite to make etiquette our objective for the next year? Many colleges have done it successfully. Could we not do it? Elsa Brookfield Dear Editor- ' When I learned I was to be one to comment on our school, I was at loss to know on what to touch. There is much that could be said on loyal- tyvloyalty to our principal, our teachers, classes and school. No man can serve two masters. We must be for our school with all our heart or against it. There can be no half way devotion. When I speak of our school, I mean those things which make up our school-the Year Book, E1-So-Hi, and our clubs must have your cooperation and support in or- der to live. To be loyal to those things you should be loyal to your- self. Stanley W. Krouse To the Editor: I have a platter peeve than any Cafe study - several peeves, in fact. I refer to all those strong, full- voiced individuals who, upon enter- ing a class-room, become Meek Moseses and Wilting Lilies. An otherwise enjoyable hour becomes one of painful extraction with Teacher acting as rebroadcasting agent in somewhat this fashion. Sorry, I couldn't hear you. Another attempt. yes, class, Moses says thus ffoh and so. Does everyone agree? Lily, what idea can you add? She adds-. Please speak more distinctly, Lily. There follows a flow of garbled sounds which Mother Ton- gue wouldn't recognize as her own children. Finally some Answer-to-Teach ers '-prayers articulates something quite distinct. Ears fold themselves comfortably in their natural resting places, and no matter how erroneous the remark, Teacher sits back with a sigh of relief, thinking, That is worth a 'lt anyway.

Babcock Backer Team for 4I By Charles Petzke Having emerged from a highly successful season and sustaining but one defeat, the Elmira football team will move into a promising season in 1941. With the return of Larry Owen and Bill Lewis in the back- field, Elmira will become one of the top teams in the Southern Tier. The graduation will probably take heavy toll, but the Junior Varsity will no doubt produce some very good play- ers. With the schedule as yet in- complete Elmira has games listed with Aquinas Institute of Rochester, Ithaca High School, Jamestown High, Auburn High, and Eastwood High. It is probable that the other opponent will be Scranton High. Even with this tough schedule, El- mira will certainly give a fine show- ing of herself. Page Sevenfy-four E D S O N I A N June, Nineteen Forfy-one Basketball 1 Varsity Stages Comeback By Robert Heller Losing the first four out of five games, the Blue and White basket- ball team came back in the latter part of the season to end in third place. The Elmira comeback was one of the greatest ever seen in the Southern Tier League race. Lack of first string material during the be- ginning of the year, was blamed for the slow start. The Hirstmen were not downed by their first losses. Toward the middle of the season, after several new players had been broken in, the team began to click. Then the Win- ning combination went on to take over the favored Union Endicott and Johnson City five, and ended the season by taking the last tive out of six games. Coach Hirst's most encouraging signs for next season is that the twin dynamos, Tommy Reid and Babe Fitch, will be back. These two will form the nucleus for a team that will be rebuilt with some of the out- standing J. V. cagers. Men from this years team that will receive letters are: Captain Biggs, Reid, Casey, Fitch, Furman, Makovitch., Bennett, Breese. The Elmira Schedule and Score Bingo Central ....

V. team piled up a record that any Junior Varsity team could be proud of. The team won about 65fZJ of the total games play- ed. Many of the J. V. players will probably secure berths on the varsity next season. Most prominent on the .T. V.'s seem to be Bauer and Buono both of whom showed remarkable ac- curacy in piling u.p high scores this year. All the members of the J. V. squad seem to be a high grade of basketball players and Elmira can certainly use some of them for next season. Junior Varsity letter men are: Smith, Bauer, Buono, Young, Bab- cock, J.

E. meet. At the Sectional Meet on thc Cornell campus, Elmira cinched the second rating with Capt. Marty Stamp's 11' 9 vault, Capt. Elect Bill Wirth's quarter mile in less than 53 seconds, and Howie Horne 's winning of the mile. Horne had the remarkable record of having won the mile in every meet this past season. Prospects for the 1941 season seem brighter than at any time since track was revived in 1937. Mr. Blanchette has been .able to develop boys physically and give them need- ed experience. He is confidently looking forward to a highly success- ful season topped of with a good showing at the Sectional Meet to be held at Elmira on May 24. Much is expected of the new cap- tain, Bill Wirth, this coming season. Stamp, Horne, Bill Lewis, Schwenke, Sheldon Lewis, DeLauro, Whittier, Pulos, Manning, and many others are also expected to do great things this coming spring. Mr. Blanchette honestly believes that this next year will be one of the greatest Elmira has ever had. There is no sport in the scholastic or collegiate field which ofers more to the individual than track. It aids in the building of a strong healthy body and at the same time it gen- erates a confidence in the competitor to face opposition singularly. Yet the pride of team work is ever pre- sent. In these trying days when na- tional defense and the prospect of serving in Uncle Sam's armed forces is uppermost in every young man's mind, track can and should be a great asset in the physical develop- ment of our fighting men. Coach Blanchette hopes that in the future many more young men will turn out at the spring practice sessions. Listed below are the men who were awarded letters in track this past year. Capt. Marsden Stamp, Capt. Elect Bill Wirth, William Lewis, Nathan Schoonover, William Schwenke, An- thony Pulos, Howard Horne, Richard Johnson, Carl Groom, Ritchie Davis, John Perry, Sheldon Lewis, Raymond Manning, James DeLauro, Lawrence Whittier, Frank Zywicki, Robert Allen. Elmira is very proud of the work of two of her former track stars, Bob Connelly, who is running the sprints at Syracuse, and Art Smith, who is a promising quarter and half miler at Cornell. Page Seventy-six E D S O N I A N June, Nineteen Forfy-one -Cheer Leaders 1 Here are those energetic cheer leaders, who did their best to cheer our athletic teams to undefeated seasons. Cheer Leaders Inspire Teams To Victory By Paul Kingston Elmira 's gridiron heroes were cheered through this year's exciting football season by a group of four- teen cheer leaders. Both boys and girls were represented in this group. This enthusiastic group furnished the incentive for our team, which as a result finished a very successful season. Our football squad was al- ways sure that their cheering squad would be wherever they played. The members were the following: Betty Wheeler- Florence Thorne Mary Lynch Marion Howland Florence Morrow t'Bud'f John Belin Marilyn Lynch Betty Wigsten Nellie Noonan Wayne Cicora Wilma Enedy Dorothy Scholl Betty Givens Paul Kingston How Cheer Leaders Are Chosen By George Krowl Each year, under the supervision of Mr. Schwenkler, several new cheer leaders are chosen from the Academy and the Southside. All those who are interested are first asked to report in their respective gyms on a certain night. They are then shown a simple cheer, which they have to duplicate. Mr. Schwenk- ler observes them and decides which boys and girls show the great- est promise. Looks, poise, and per- sonality are taken into consideration. Several students are selected on this basis to become either alternates or regular cheer leaders. Seniors are given preference, but the alternates train with the squad the entire year, having first chance the following season. Mr. Schwenkler favors a plan to have a squad for each school and coordinate the activities of the two squads at the football games. This in his opinion would be more advan- tageous for everyone concerned. Cheer Leaders Inspire Quintet By George Krowl On February 14, 1941 the Elmira cheer leaders made their first ap- pearance at an Elmira basketball game and cheered the quintet on to a, victory over Binghamton's highly rated squad. The game broke Bing- hamton's 22 game winning streak. The winning of this game was main- ly attributed to the heartening cheering supplied by the students under the direction of the cheer leaders.

' ZIO Noses Cul' ZIZ Homeroom Basketb By Charles Petzke The inter-homeroom basketball title was won by H. R. 210 whose team defeated H. R. 212 in the final game of the year. This game cli- maxed a two-months campaign by the local cagers for the champion- ship. H. R. 212 had previously de- feated the team of 210, but accord- ing to the rules, another game, which was won by H. R. 210, had to be played for the title. Basketball this year was on an uptreud with many boys participat- ing, and with only a small number of forfeits because of lack of play- ers. Nearly one hundred boys par- ticipated. Boasting victories over 012, 221, 05, 213, 214, and a victory over 210, 212 's record was scarcely less im- pressive than that of the champions. The players sparking the team to its victories were Greenough, Little, Fredericks, Huddle, Graner, Havens, Fish, George, and Ferraro. At one time the team of 213 was the runner- up, but a slight error of the officials caused a victory for 213 to be changed to a defeat for 213. In spite of the error sportsmanship prevail- n A Close Race for all Championship ed, and the incident was soon for- got-ten. The championship team was com- posed of the following: Comfort, Cicora, Callas, Bennett, Barnes, Drake, Brunson, Buffalin, Breese, and Maynard. The team did not lack talent and their accuracy on the court was responsible for their vic- tories. lntra-Mural Sports Popular Many boys turned out this year for the different intra-mural sports.

Not only in South- side did the EL-SO-HI have a big year, but in all the activities of its staff members improvement was shown. The scoops and picture on assemblies are an example of the high quality of journalism displayed throughout the year. Convention times were very Well enjoyed from both an entertainment and educational viewpoint. A record delegation of 39 attended the E. S. S. P. A. conclave at Syracuse in N0- vember. For the second time, the EL-SO-HI was awarded a superior rating. In March, Miss Mary Len- 11on, advisor, again chapcroned a re- presentation to the Columbia Press Conference in New York City. The EL-SO-HI received a third place rating in competition with school papers all over the United States. Sixteen tired but much Wiser stu- dents made the return trip from the great educational confab. The school paper staff for 1940- -11 looks back on a very successful year in which the EL-SO-HI has kept its high place in the scheme of thingsn at ELmira SOuthside High.

There ls a lot of Work behind those simple reports. Each member has to at- tend a meeting to be able to tell you what is going to happen. T'his is the Student Council. Another duty of this group is to participate in school government. When anything displeases you in the school, all you have to do is to tell your representative and he will relate your message to the group for them to act upon. The greatest achievement of the present council was the undertaking of a revision of the constitution. This was a momentous task and well-done. OFFICERS President ..... . . .

The club started as a group of senior girls, who volunteered to held Mrs. Austin with the seating of pupils in assemblies, organized by Mrs. Austin as the Ushers Club the group has grown in number and in fame until at present every senior girl who possibly can do so becomes a member. The club carries on four main activities in school, hostesses in the main corridor, aides in the health room, assistants in the li- brary, and ushers at regular assem- blies. In addition, the club assists at all special functions, such as the Senior Play and Commencement. It is frequently called upon to usher and act as hostesses for outside or- ganizations, a few of which are: Chamber of Commerce, State Teach- ers Association, State Deans Asso- ciation, Community Concert Group, Childrens Theater Group, University Club, Lions Club, and Parent Teach- ers Association. Upsilon Kappa is a service club, but it has many social affairs, such as: picnic suppers, speakers, and de- monstrations of interest to members. This past year of 1940, they or- ganized a chapter at Elmira Free Academy, with an organization pat- terned after ours. The purpose of all the club activities is to give the members training in poise, gracious- ness, responsibility and .ability to act wisely in any emergency. Only senior girls may join. New members are taken in in May and then form an ushers corp for Senior Day and Commencement. OFFICERS President ........... Jane Wittkas Vice-President ...... Helen Thomas Secretary . . . .

The group is composed of young librarians whose duties are many and varied. These students represent the spirit of cooperation and willing contribution that is so essential throughout life. Their efficiency, quiet patience, and reliable service to the school and students are of the type that seldom wins material reward. There can be no doubt, however, of the fact that an ap- preciation of these unhearlded quali- ties is present in the minds of all students and teachers. It is their duty to create the at- mosphere of a real library-that feeling of pleasure combined with a sense of duty and responsibility. Membership in this group is obtain- ed by volunteers whose scholastic averages VV3l'l'3.11fp,tl1Cl1' work with organizations. Southside High School owes to these assistant librarians under the leadership of Miss B and Miss Workley each year tinue their service to all.

Between every class period, at each corner there are two traffic members to straighten out the traffic. They see to it that each student goes up or down the proper stairs. In this Way traffic is speeded up in the halls, confusion and many bruises avoided. You take their services as a matt-er of fact, but think what would hap- pen if they were not present to straighten out the travel of about 1400 pupils.

Helen A.very and Donald Bailey are entertain- ing with a twin vaccordion act, while Jenn Brotzman and Jane Bennett, the Minstrel Men, wait back stage for their cue. Our waiter, Floyd Hummer, comes up juggling a huge tray, while John Breese and Dolly Dietzel hover around him supervising. Mary Ann Hogan, famous fashion expert, sits down at a table just Master of Ceremonies, Dick BuZZGI'd, introduces a Novel'y Trio consisting of Viola Ilofstrom, Virginia Kerlin, and Loretta Kil- kelly. Just as the bouncers, Bum Fish and VVally Fredericks, are assisting those men about town, Ronald Nnrss, Charles Petzke, and George Krowl throulgh the exit, Friend and Schmoll's Orchestra starts giving out with one of their latest tunes for piano and drum. Then Richard Seeley renders a guitar number. Over in ia corner Jeanette Bradley, business manager of the Casino, confers with Weston Jenkins, Robert Pi'cher, and Richard Dytman, who sponsor an Information-Please act. She Wants information on how to stall off bill col- lector, Don Washburn. Onto the stage come Lois Thorneley, Helen Thomas, and Jane Stat- terlee, winners of the latest Jitterbug Contest. At a table across the room we spot Ann Leavitt and Marilyn Martin, who run an exclusive tea shop around the corner. T'hen, Pauline Tinney, Anita Perrotta, and Jane VVardell run through a skit written by Gloria Sbedico. Abie's Casino certainly has a high-class trvade. The celebrities just pour in. Jane Witt- kas, currently starring in the Broadway hit, The Grass Is Burnt, waves to us from across the room and we hasten over to join her, for she's the one who can tell us anything about anybody at any time. While Ethelyn Heinrich, the cigarette girl, flashes us a big smile, we try to concentrate on the information 'WVicky is handing out. To our astonishment, we learn that ex-president Jim Graner is still a president-of the local Hawaiian Club- grass skirts and all that. We make a date to go see the Elmira Elves, managed by Mar- garet Backer, Mary Drake, and Nancy Rey- nolds Cthe triple threat of baseballl. Anoliah Palmer, operatic star at the Met, is scheduled to give a benefit performance at Carnegie Hall to raise money for the brave soldiers stationed at Timbuctoo. Among other interesting bits of news we pick up is the fact that Rose Alice Lynch has been commissioned to paint some historical murals in the Tax Building in Washington. CThe way they work it now, is that the gov- ernment takes all your incomeand gives you Seniors Reveal Testament Now, at the close of our Senior year, We, today's graduating class, make known our will and testament. We, the senior class of 1941, bequeath our growing spirit to the present Junior Class. I, James Panosian, bequeath my ability as editor-in-chief of the El-So-Ili to the next in line. I, John Barker, bequeath my headaches as circulation manager of the El-So-Hi to Butch NValsh. I, Don Palmer, bequeath my ambition to Wayne Brougham. I, Weston Jenkins, bequeath my genius in higher mathematics to Bill Bedcnk. I, Elbridge Little, bequeath my acting ability to Kent Soper. I, James Graner, bequeath my capacity as president of the Student Council to my worthy successor. I, Anolah Palmer, bequeath my singing ability to Betty Wolfe. I, King Snyder, bequeath my wittiness to Jim Titus. - I, Margaret Maclnroy, bequeath my charm to Jeanette Cecclhini. I, Tony Pulos, bequeath my gavel to next year's senior president. I, John Schmoll bequeath my sense of rhythm on the drums to Bud McNaught. We sincerely hope that these gifts will help the benefactors to carry out the tasks assigned to them with a success which will do Southside High School Honor. back the little left over after the Federal tax, County tax, City tax, income tax, inheritance tax, carpet tax, and furniture tax have all been paid.j Bob Landon has secured a position as Professor of Oratory at Burnt-Floor College, while James Panosiian is editor of The Ladies' Aid VVeekly. Much to our astonishment, we learned that approximately one-fourth of the Senior Class of '41 is serving time for forgery com- mitted on certain excuses during their high- school days. VVe hope they are enjoying their stay at the expense of the government. Just then, a parade came in the Casino. At least we thought it was a parade. It turned out to be Arlene Smith and her fourteen child- ren, known as the Kiddie Kabaret. Apparently she is enjoying marital bliss! Just as we are preparing to leave, Abie himself comes out and announces that due to great financial embar- rassment, the Casino will be closed indefinite- ly. Heaving a sigh of d-espair, tlhe patrons run, not walk, to the nearest exit--making as much noise as they did in dear old Southside.

We Conquered' Alma Mater Oh, Alma Mater, fair and true, Thy honor, we acclaim, We rally 'round the White and Blue To laud thy noble name, In thee We students shall renew Our faith of days gone by, Across the years we'l1 live anew Thy spirit Southside High.
