Show Tuesday, June 6, 1944 SOUTH HIGH SCRIBE Page 3 The ROTC looks back on a year of varied activities and achieve-ments. This year the Annual Cadet Hop was held despite the bad weather that usually occurs in the middle of semi-form- al dances. Brilliant decorations were laboriously de-signed, following the theme of In-tr- y Spearhead to Victory. The Officers' Saber Team and the Junior Drill Team have won city-wid- e acclaim for their skill and precision. They were invited to many of the lodges and clubs in Salt Lake where they were heart-ily applauded for their efforts. On May 9 the ability of the bat-talion was displayed for Captain Benson, inspecting officer. Awards were presented by various organi-zations in Salt Lake to the honor cadets. On May 15, the ROTC partici-pated in a celebration of the 2nd anniversary of the WAC, and re-ceived official thanks from Briga-dier General Morris Berman of the Ogden Air Service Command. On May 20, the Officers party was held on the estate of Dr. and Mrs. G. M. Howard, parents of Lt. Col. Gordon Howard. Various games were played by all. Re-freshments were in abundance. Chief cook and bottle watcher was Sgt. Redmond. Seven promotions were made to the commandants staff last week. The following were promoted to the grade of captain: H. Marvin McNeil, Sharon Clark, Bill Mc-Clur- e, Jack Goalen, Farrall Fair-banks, Arthur Johnson and Bob Steisel. Sgt. Redmond has informed us that next year South will have rifles of the Enfield or Spring-field type, rather than the dummy training rifles now used. We would like to take this op-portunity to thank Sgt. Raymond for his untiring efforts in the in-terest of the cadets. The awards the honor cadets received have, to a certain extent, depended on the instruction and aid given by Sgt. Redmond. "They Shall Not Have Died in Vain . . . " South high is proud of its fighting men, and even prouder of the boys who have died, and are prisoners. This is a list of those boys, and as you read it, remember that they died for you. What will you do for them? 1932 1st Lt. Dwayne W. Alder prisoner Capt. Robert G. Davey pris-oner Private John V. Vosse 1933 Petty oOfficer Robert Kline Slink prisoner Capt.

SNOOP SCOOP This is the way it started: Those huge paper-boun- d packages were brought in and placed on the teacher's desk. Everyone clenched his teeth and wrung his hands in nervous excitement as the teacher slowly and efficiently read the bulletin and marked the roll and filled out the absence and tardy slips. Finally, our intended 10-min- advisory (which took 25 minutes) was over, and our advisor gave us a lecture on what we should and shouldn't write on those sacred pages, and why and why not, while we wondered if we would ever see the inside of them. Ah! At last he passed them out mine was next to the last and the ink was smeared on the cov-er. But I didn't mind. I was thumbing through the smooth, blue and white pages, watching fa-miliar faces appear and reappear. Then came the mad scramble. Yearbooks started flying right and left. "Will I sign yours? Sure. Be glad to. Here, sign mine, will you? Thanks." Gee Whiz! What could I say about him ? I never did like him. He's crazy and I doubt-ed if he'd ever done anything worth mentioning. Well, here goes. Dear no, that wasn't quite right. "Don You've been a swell kid as long as I've known you." (I hadn't known him very long, so that wasn't exactly a lie; just a slight exaggeration.) "Here's wishing you all the success and happiness you deserve." (A dumb kid like he is doesn't deserve very darn much, so I wasn't being un-reasonable). "Your" (what was I to him, anyway? We weren't pals. I hardly ever saw him except in the halls and cafeteria). "Your" well, I'd just add an "s" and say "Yours truly.' . There. That was done. Gosh! He was still writ-ing in mine. It looked as if he were filling the whole page. I don't see how anybody can do that with so little to write about. Ah! There. He was finished. "Gee, thanks a lot, Don, Here's your book. Wish I had time to write more." (It's a good thing- - I didn't. I'd probably say something that'd make him mad). And so that was yearbook day. Of course, it didn't end when the 3:00 bell rang. Oh, no! The bouncing of the bus tidn't stop you. You scribbled on, anyway, if a friend asked you to. And then, for a few days after that, you sneaked around in the halls, hop-ing to rest your cramped hand by avoiding any more enthusiastic au-tograph hunters. Yes. Quite a day, quite a day! Daffy Cub.
