Alums Write To Alma Mater; Express Various Sentiments Letters from former South high students stationed in every part of the world in different occupations and in the armed services flow into teachers, students, and others connected with South high school. There is not, of course, room for even those which daily grace the desk of Miss Winifred H. Dyer, assistant principal, but excerpts from some are reprinted here. few -- IpI J ia Ills Most of the boys treasure gold-en memories of South and others are just lonesome, they want to write anything, to anyone. If Scribe receives enough requests, it will make the printing of service men's letters a regular feature of the paper. . . . How is South high school anyway. I suppose they didnt win the football championship, but I'll bet they didn't lose the basketball championship! Won't you do me a favor. My little brother is at West high school, but he doesn't like it, and wants to transfer to East! I have tried to make him understand the mistake he would be making. I want him to go to South. . . It will always be South high that is next to my heart. Char-les C Smith (Chick) in the navy. Pease try to make the kids back there realize the serious-ness of the situation . . . True, the civilian population is hin-dered by rationing, but ration-ing is nothing to what the boys out there are doing. Dale Bul-loug- h, army air corps. If I ever get out of this I'll come back to see you and have a good talk just like I used to. How I wish that I had taken some of your good advice. . . take ROTC etc. This overseas life is not as glamorous as some people think. It is nothing but good hard work. Jack Andrews, army. Neil Neilsen ...LDS mission-ary writes back. His letter is one of many daily received by Miss Dyer, teachers, and students. The many times you and others told me about being sor-ry and in a spot for not grad-uating from high school is cer-tainly true. Won't you see if someone didn't miscalculate on 1.2 credits. If not, I guess I'll live through it. It was my own fault, anyway. Julian Johnson, navy. In talking to some Canadians, I have noticed that their edu-cation system is in some ways superior to ours. One thing is faulty. Few students graduate, going only to the eighth grade. Neil Nelsen, LDS mission. Looking back, I definitely know that my high school days bring back more treasured mem-ories than any I've seen since then ... I remember so many little unimportant things so reminiscent of high school troubles. Kent Harmon, air Corps. South Students Wind Up Can Drive; Will Aid Red Cross Board of Control members today met to map details of an intensive Red Cross fund drive at the school, it has been announced. The ac-tion came on the heels of a gigantic tin can drive, which netted the scrap piles of the nation a size-ab- el sum of metal. Although no details have been released regarding methods the board will use to stimulate contri-butions during the drive, which is expected to begin next week, gen-eral concensure has it that the publicity and collections will be made in home rooms. Topping other high schools in the city in the War Community Chest drive of last November, South took in $104 in the week long-campaign- . Appeals in the Red Cross drive will be aimed at an even higher sum, it was reported. Students will be expected, of course, to continue buying war bonds and stamps to protect the freedom they love. The second semester contest has outdistanced sales in the first month of the last' semester drive, Don Giacomo, stamp chairman, said, and hopes are high for an even higher total of stamp sales. Winning home rooms, 310 and 225, were awarded prizes of $1 to each student last week. Music Units Appear In Puhlic Recitals A violin choir from the South .high orchestra will play Saturday at the Newhouse Hotel, ending a week in which several school music groups will have made public ap-pearances. Tuesday the Victory Quin Trio performed at the War Service Center. Members of this group are: Wauneta Cline, Doreen Cut-ler, Marion Smith, Patricia Gardi-ner, Frances Winters, Eilene Snow, Ua Howard, Maxine Snow, Joyce Strong, A1vera Lindsay Norma Sleater. Shirley Brown and Jo Anne Fouyer. Kearns' hospital was the scene of a program presented by a selected group of South high music students Sunday. Cubs Willing To Give Up Extra Activity Poll Indicates Students Are f'1 War Conscious South high school students favor retaining dances and all-regul- ar extra-curricul- ar activities as long as no special request is received on the contrary and the retainment of such activity would not greatly hamper the war effort, a cross sec-tional poll conducted by Scribe this week, revealed. Ninety-thre- e percent of Cubs questioned voted to continue with extra activities, although some other high schools have stream-lined their system so that only the regular curriculum is pres-ent. "Student morale is exceptionally important in war-time- ," one stu-dent 'answered, "Terefore, I believe we should continue with dances and other activities." "If we gave up dances here, the students would go elsewhere, under a less wholesome environment," an-other replied. Those ho .voted "yes" to giving up dances said that we must all make sacrifices in war and now is as good a time as anyto start ex-tensively aiding the ar effort by giving up transportation, decorat-ing materials, etc., for more im-portant needs. Ninety-seve- n percent voted to give up the extra-curricul- ar ac-tivities if a special request is re-ceived from the government, but few thought that such a request would ever .be made. A broadminded attitude among Southerners was noted during the poll. All were anxious to help the war effort and the only question as in regard to how best to help, by retaining the activity or by giv Chem Instructor, Not Comic, Teaches Boys to Lay Eggs Chem is O. K., Mr. Gerrish, in its proper place, but when it gives stoogents ideas about run-ning a model "A" Ford on straight hydrogen, clear the decks for action! We've put up with this stench every Tuesday and Thursday, or whenever the class felt like hav-ing an experiment, but brudder, T N T and H2S04 ain't got noth-i- n' on what might happen if the chem bug bites hard enough into those nine alchemists who al-legedly perform "elementary" chem problems in the special third period class. Yes, the nine geniuses in that class . . . Heiner, Lowder, Layton, Neeley, Goss, Brimley, McLean, Copfer, and Salisbury, are liable to make Buck Rogers look sick pretty soon. The gang delves into physics, chem, and math in the class, and .they learn everything from drop-ping bombs to "how much sugar is in your blood stream and why." Hey, army, here they come, so look out, Hirohito! Cubs May Take West High Radio. Course Southerners who are interested in radio are now offered a voca-tional course presented at West high.
