Show More Water Flows Under South's Bridge In twelve short years, the Book of South has become a history a history of a school already rich in ideals of democracy and the American way of life. Its pages contain the names of students who have come to this school to gain an education, and have left it to become examples of what South stands for fine citizens. Their achievements will long be remembered. From the opening chapter, South has progressed, not satisfied with all the old standards but making new ones. It has given students the chance to gain social as well as educational qualities. Its organizations, clubs, and government have developed a friendliness and sociability not to be excelled by any other school. The boys' and girls' organizations have provided activities to encourage the students to use their talents and to profitably occupy leisure time. Our teams have fought hard and fair and have helped to keep and increase the splendid splen-did school spirit. In 1938, '39, '40, '41 and 42, the city basketball championship rested in the hands of South. This is not our only athletic achievement. The other teams have done a lion's share of keeping South in the minds of all. The E. 0. T. C. has brought distinction to the school by its honor ratings and fine attitude for service. Also the Colonel to command the three high schools at Regimental Regi-mental Review was chosen from South. With all these things going on, we still come to South to be educated. The social activities may be forgotten, but what we have learned will be used throughout our lives. We are building our characters each day, and whether we realize it or not, what we are to be, we are now becoming. These memories will linger on and be brought to mind again and again as South makes new names for itself. The graduating graduat-ing class is proud to be the twelfth because of the heritage behind them. We hope to leave our mark along with those of the classes class-es before us. We challenge the classes ahead to remember the standards set down by all these years, and help South go on to greater heights and fame. South, with its friendliness, friendli-ness, democratic ideas, and fine educational opportunities, is to be a continued inspiration through the years. |
