Patriotic ContestsFeature SouthFeburary Calendar February marked a month of contests with patriotism the key-note of activity. Selected to represent South high at the DAR pilgrimage contest was Julie Spitz, Shag president.

Miss Sleater Has Background Of Interest, Scribe Finds Editor's note: This is the third in a series of articles about those responsible for "our education. Five years ago one Miss Iris Sleater entered this institute of learning as an instructor of girls' gymnastics. Now in her sixth year at South, she has built up a reputa-tion among girls as being one of the school's favorites. A graduate of the University of Utah, she also attended post grad-uate courses at the U. C. L. A. Practically any winter weekend will find her on the snow-covere- d hills about the city.

Final Tributes To Miss Rees Paid By South Home Economics Teacher Was Friend to All On Tuesday, February 22. 1943, at 3:06 p. m., South suffered a great loss. Miss Ruth Rees, home economics teacher and nutrition scientist, died suddenly of a heart, attack. Miss Rees was well known by all as "a friend in need". Always dependable, she hadn't missed a day of teaching since the founding of South high school. While work-ing with the young people, she al-ways demanded order and respect, believed in strong discipline, and impressed everyone by her even disposition. U. of U. Graduate After graduating from the Uni-versity of Utah and receiving her Masters Degree from Oregon State College, Miss Rees first taught at the Garfield school in the Jordan District, and then was transferred to the old South Junior (now Lin-coln Junior high school). During .her eleven years at South, she has been chairman of the social com-mittee, and has taken charge of the teachers' parties, the Award Dinner Dance, and the Alumni Banquet. She was organist of the St. Paul's Episcopal Church, taught a Sunday School Bible class, and was a member of a religious organiza-tion, the Girls' Friendly Society. The Mountain Fuel Supply Com-pany has been grateful for her services. She wrote the book, "Cooking Perfection", which they offer to their patrons, and was an instructor in the art of cooking at this company, under the sponsor-ship of the Red Cross. Wrote School Text Collaborating with Mrs. Nell Strowig, supervisor of home eco-nomics in city schools, she wrote, "Home Making Recipe Book", which is now used as a text in sev-eral high schools. The Right Reverend Arthur W. Moulton, who officiated at the fun-eral, expressed the thought that her work with the young people at school and in church was the great-est work in the world. A blanket of flowers, given by the teachers of South, covered the casket. The South High Associated Girls do-nated a snray to her memory, and the Bachelor's Club expressed their sympathy with a wreath. Her students will always remem-ber that she taught them that "good cookery is an art". There was time for everything and every-one in her daily activities. The South Scribe called on her many times for articles on nutrition; teachers would come to her for ad-vice when planning special dinners or parties.
