Of course in the back seat one doesn't need a pil-low, or does one ? Say, by the way girls, if any of you want a good blind date for the girl's dance just let me know. Of course, you might have to cut yourself off at the. knees, but who looks below the knees anyway? Anyway Buddy, we all love you. After all you are the best looking boy at South. (Payday's Monday isn't it Buddy?) Rozane Heninger: As the picture proves, Rozane is not a proxy. Boy, I'm glad that is settled. I had more darn arguments about that. We all know Rozane for her intelligence, (well, after all I am getting paid), personality, and charming wit. Of course there are other things, but, as space does not permit they shall go unsaid. Most interesting in this girl's life however, is her long list of past and present suitors. It seems that even at the age of three, she was setting traps on her front lawn for all the unsuspecting little boys around the corner. But this was just the beginning. When she was five, with the aid of her dad's favorite pair of handcuffs, she had, in one day, chained five boys to her bed post and was all set to get up early in the morning in pursuit of two she had missed the day before. But bringing her up to the present time, she is becoming known as "the girl with a different boy friend every week." It is either because the boys get wise to themselves or that by the end of the week they have been able to file them-selves out of the basement window. In any case we know she's "doing her best, and after all, men don't grow on trees. (Men he says; I'd be satis-fied with a 5-- f (single man with children) (and a tall beer.) Can You Guess The Names Of These Prominent Juniors? Here we see the great Douglas Wagstaff. While at the tender age of seven he has already made the first steps toward involving himself with the women. Although he may have been a little green at the time, he has made great progress in the years hence. Doug is not, as some might suspect, a roving type. In fact he spends most of his evenings by the fireside quietly reading old Esquires. His appreciation of good literature, etc., is apparent. His technique has changed from the cowboy daring type to the suave wolfish or always on the prowl class. Although his technique toward women has changed, the cowboy drawl has never left for he finds it very useful in keeping his "victims" fascinated. Doug, in his position of Junior class prexy, is always willing to hear your problems, whether they have anything to do with school or not. Doug is a very unusual type of Cub, in that he spends most of his time in class studying. For some unknown reason the Sugar-hous-e area holds a strange fascination for him. Maybe it's the Mecca. And now to move along in this kindergarten rouge's gallery. . Here we have in a small form, of course, ham and eggs Reiser. Ham because she is one, and eggs because she's often referred to as an old hen. Pat has remained much the same through the years, except she's pulled up her drawers. At six months she was reading Superman and has been hunting him ever since, in one form or another. And then the draft board struck, she nearly got "took," they wouldn't take her because she was too dissipated. After that she tried to enlist in the Navy but was turned down because of her false teeth. When Pat was still young and innocent she tried to join the Boy Scouts. When ,her Mother said, "Pat, you mean the Girl Scouts." Little Patricia gaily replied, "For :() sake, you scout for what you want to and I'll scout what I enjoy." Pat's chief interest is her work, it offers her relaxation, exercise, spending money and good social contacts. She wishes she could devote more time to it but the union will only let her put in a 40-ho- ur week. What is her work? Why Pat is Forewoman on a railroad section gang; why do you think she's known as "Muscles Reiser"? On to the next prominent junior South high personality, or a glance at the intricicies and intimicies of infant characters. No, I must admit he hasn't grown much but he sure has changed! His mother never buys him new clothes. She just lets out a diaper around the waist when he needs a new pair of pants. Yes, of course ; it's the one and only Buddy Mor-rison. We all saw him star in the school play in the role of the "little nuisance." He was chosen for the part because he didn't have to act much. It just came natural to him. . From what we can gather, he has only two ambitions. One, to become president of the SH AG (he's always in the SHAG office); and Pomerance Says: This Could Happen To You It's, about time for someone to start raising their voices about the way the younger generation dances. Some of the positions our youthful terpsichoreans assume, make a French love story look as dull as an entry in a prison inmate's diary. Any night a J. Jones' palace of dreams could be entitled "Rhap-sody in Woo." The male half of the struggle shoves his puss into his date's hair, and clutches her. The date closes her eyes, digs her nails into the nape of his neck, throws back her head and the struggle begins. The basic step used in all dancing is the combination of a hop, a blind stagger and a 20 yard dash. This, of course, is modified ac-cording to fit the tempo and mood of the music. If the music is slow every one gets dreamy-eye- d and drags about like a floor-fu- ll of undulating snails. If, however, the music is of fast tempo, there are various ways of dancing. There is the kangaroo sprint or hopping type. This cannot be described, but it can be seen any night at the Rainbow when East High is not holding its own dance. Then there is the sideward slide step. The purpose of this is to fl cover a lot of territory and fellow dancer's feet, and it rates only next to garlic when it comes to losing friends. A dancing problem that disappeared with the gum shortage is the difficulty that came when the girl's hair and the fellow's wad of gum met and became inseparable. But it's all over now, because beg-gars can't be chewers. To further Pan American relations and because it's a wonderful way to exercise, we have imported many South American dances namely the tango, rhumba, conga, samba and Calypso Joe's blind staggers. During a recent survey taken at some of the town's more populated jump and jug joints it was found that when a rhumba, etc., is being played, of the total number of dancers in the place, five per cent of them danced, 90 per cent of them tried to dance, three per cent sat on the sidelines, and two per cent came out from underneath their tables and looked bleary-eye- d. The single person who has probably done more to cement rela-tions between the Americas than any one else is that lovely and vivacious wench, Miss Senorita Carmen "Veranda. Many songs are more suitable to dance to than others. The following songs are very good: "The Moon Got in My Eyes" or "Boy, Was I High That Night!" "Shoo, Shoo Baby" or "The Song of the Infant Blacksmith." From the good old South Americans we have that lovely song, "Besame Mucho" it's the Spanish version of that good old U. S. "Baby, Knock Me a Kiss." And to conclude we couplet: "To trip the current light fantastics, Be proficient in Spanish, soft talk and gymnastics." - 'i buth&crtbe Founded, 1931 Published by the students of South high school, 1575 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah.
