F. Victor Entered in the post office at Salt Lake City as second class matter under the Act of March 3, 1879. Scribbler Gives Personal Observations in Print Verna Jones carries a purse with her wherever she goes. Speaking of purses, did you know that Jean Marie Davies carries about four shorthand notebooks in hers? Elaine Jarvis's bangs are always perfect a phe-nomena which is amazing to say the least. Leland Smith usually eats from three to four whole sand-wiches in his lunch. What?? Crust? Pat Norval and Elsie Pistorious ride their bicy-cles to school. Keep them locked, girls. Janice Day, that lucky girl, has eyes that change color accord-ing to what she is wearing. One day they will be heavenly blue, and the next, they are liable to ap-pear Scarlet O'Hara green. BEST BETS OF THE WEEK: That Ada Alder a former South student, will make good in New York, where she is going into nurses training. That if Lorraine Johnson and her trio were to perform on an assembly, they would make a big hit with all of us. , OPEN LETTER to Herman Bauer: Did you know that a certain beautiful blonde who used to drive . your car once in a while, is now attending school in California? To the assembly committee: Beulah Latimer can sing hill-bill- y tunes like something out of this world. AMONG THOSE WHO HAVE COME UP IN THE WORLD: (You know, those who've grown), Sherman Garrett, Keith Lignell, Frank Zumwalt, and Mel Hansen. If we should say Mary Harmon, you would know we were kidding. IDLE CHATTER: Lucille Berg and Bob Berchet might be called the perfect couple. They've been going practically steady for almost a year now, and it seems that the second year is about to begin. Since Kathleen Kenny has been working at Z. C. M. I., she has more cute sweaters and skirts than any girl should have. Jealous friends, aren't we? Won-der what on earth Don McGhie is doing this fall? Smile, Conrad Whipperman, smile! Life is so much fun. Lorraine Smith, Winono Watson, and Aria Potter are among those who are engaged. Nephi Hornicle is one of the outstanding pupils in Miss Christensen's salesmanship class. BELLS AND NO BELLS: Bells to every school teacher that keeps her hair looking nice. They are the ones that we like to watch while we're listen-ing. No bells to the teacher who speaks in such a dull, unanimated fashion that he lulls his students into a coma and then wonders why they don't as-similate all he says. , WATCH OUT, HILL-BILL- Y! "It's frum over th' mountains. Ah kin hollar as loud as any ole' hill-bill- y. I walks in th' street, an' leaves the sidewalks fo' the po' white trash. I has a lot of fun kickin' ole' cans an' stones. I jes' lets the folks with cars honk. I's so dumb!" Are you a hill-bill- y from the Ozarks, or a stu-dent at South High School? Are you in the habit of daring every car to strike you, or are you but a pitiful descendant of the Jukes family? Look out, hill-bill- y! That car may not stop for you next time. THEATRE NEWS Wake Island Dear South: Remember that island lying between Guam and Midway Islands, which was known as an important airplane base ? "How could America forget," you would answer. Neither will Hollywood forget, with stars like Brian Donlevy, McDonald Carey, and Robert Preston portraying the heroes who fought and died on Wake Island. Incidentally, part of this picture was filmed over Great Salt Lake. See if you can recognize the scenery, when you see it at the Centre Theater. The Talk of the Town What South high gal doesn't sigh when she hears the names of Ronald Colman and" Gary Grant ? Here's your chance to see them to-gether in one of the year's best pictures, "The Talk of the Town". It sparkles with intelligent (not slapstick) comedy, and the performances given by the two male stars and Jean Arthur are excellent. The story: Mr. Grant, convicted of an arson-murd- er charge, seeks refuge in Miss Arthur's country home. There, while "in cognito", he meets Ronald Colman, a dean of law. Both men are after the same girl, and when Mr. Grant's true identity is known to Mr. Colman, there are fireworks. Watch for a courtroom fight. The Gay Sisters Based on the novel by Stephen Longstreet, Warner Brothers offers this tale of three sisters (Barbara Stanwyck, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Nancy Coleman), and their fight for an inheritance rightly theirs. What is the closely guaded secret of the three heiresses that confines them to a spacious home which is daily seeping into a stage of decay? Watch for the new sensational discovery, Gig Young, and the ever-dependab- le George Brent. If you liked "Kings Row", see "The Gay Sisters". All three pictures are coming to the Centre Theater. Watch for them! (Paid Advertisement.) NAME YOUR OWN PRICE FOR FREEDOM Can you imagine the Japanese soldier, his eyes full of lust, thinking of taking control of the inter-mounta- in states? Has it ever occurred to you that the Japanese are fighting to the end? What have they got to lose ? Would you like Utah to be transformed into a "Little Tokyo, U. S. A.?" "No! A millions times no!" you would shout. "Why, if one of those little "yellow-bellies- " even tried to take away our freedom, I'd . . . ." But, dear reader, they are threatening our security. Buy that bond today, and thus help wipe out another dozen Japs! SOUTH HIGH SAYS, "HELLO" AT DANCE - The "hello" dance was but a preview of this year's social events. President Dee Lowder was seen dancing with Barbara Morrison, showing to the school that there was no "battle royal" on. Johnny McMillan, first on the floor, was going into a slow-motio- n routine with Joyce Bowen. Where was Betty, Johnny? Barbara Jensen, a junior, was being whirled about pi enty fast. Lois Crow was all smiles. Ralph Parker cut in on Jimmy Corbett and the Brown lassie. When Mr. Hale announced that it was girls' choice, the stag line ran into the outer halls. Every once in a while you could hear Donna Youngberg laugh. Dick Lund was occupied with a little red-hea- d. His friend, Jack Hilton, unable to find Vivian Chris-tense- n, cast his eyes elsewhere. The stag line was slowly vaporizing. Don Ogaard was an eager onlooker. Eugene Bennett's yellow coat made a lot of noise. Doug Burgess and Jean Brady made a 'twosome.' "Hello" day meant a trip to the dentist for Miss Finster. Rodney Fergesen took on the name of "president" in Vocations advisory. Incidentally, a certain girl named Lois who has Vocations first period, received a great deal of attention at the dance. Miss Mandell kept saying during the day, "I've got something funny to tell you, but not right now." Lois Geis and Ty Galloway were full of talk about a tall, dark, and handsome at the dance. The problems discussed most that day were: r Who'll be Lieutenant Colonel? Who'll win the elec-tion- ? Who will be our next Sam and Shag heads? Who'll win the first football game? All prospects of a good school year are bright, if the proverb, "Morning Shows the Day," is true. CAN YOU IMAGINE . . . Bob Story minding his own business . . . Jean Marie Davies having lost all her pep . . . boys in general, dancing at the matinee dances. . . . South without Miss Dyer . . .

HE-MA- N ASPIRANTS-STO- P - LOOK - READ Of course, you know the basis of your life. Nu-tritionists have proved that the most important problem of life is the food we eat. Inasmuch as we are facing an emergency today, fighting for our existence, in fact, the government has undertaken the serious question of proper nutrition to protect Americans by means of educating them to choose healthful foods. Americans are today nutritionally weak, a peo-ple facing a crisis because of too much sugar and refined food, and because of eating too little fruits, vegetables ,milk, eggs, and whole grains. Statistics from the cafeteria manager show that the students pay little regard to nutritional value. One hundred twenty bottles of milk were sold Thursday as compared with 752 bottles of soda pop. Twenty-fiv- e dollars were taken in at the canary counter, which meant that 500 candy bars were sold. The rest of the purchases were in the form of hamburgers, hot dogs, white rolls, and pies. In oth-er wrords, our choices of food actually undermines our health. Is our school a sample of all the schools in Salt Lake City ? If so, youth is not doing its part in the war effort. Since all of us cannot study nutri-tion, why not consult Miss Rees. our nutrition teach-er, for help ? She will gladly give assistance to any individual or group of students desiring help in choosing food. I Students Air Their Views zZsaT That's My Opinion By The Southerner Dear Teachers: I am only one of the very many who works after school. I know our request may sound unreason-able, but would you put a "soft pedal" on homework this year. We know that the only way we can aid our country's cause is to have a complete educational back-ground This letter is not meant to start a campaign abolishing all homework, for that would be silly. But remember that this year is not like the others, and that our study time is limited. Sincerely, D. P. ATTENTION, GIRLS! That vulgar-lookin- g "War Paint" Put on before the kill, Doesn't accent beauty, But sure does look like hell. B. O. Dear Mr. Ryan: My brain was slightly on the small side when I was born. Alge bra was a "nightmare", and as yet I haven't found the right word for Geometry. The theorem I am working now is, "Why Did I Ever Take Geom-etry?" The only statement I can give is that it's required for enter-ing the university. Don't get im-patient with me, Mr Ryan. Don't hollar at me, for I am self-conscio- us. Just up and slap me, but please give me a passing grade in Geometry. Your Admirer, W. P. A. Dear Classmate: Pleatee straighten up in your seat. Your back is almost growing that way. You can't continually escape Miss Kaplan's questions. Have you ever noticed how diffi-cult it is for you to go to the pencil sharpener, and have to take a flying jump over someone's sprawled-ou- t legs Respectfully, C. O. D. OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS The old adage, "Opportunity Knocks But Once," has been proven quite false at South High School. Why? Just take a look at our schedule of activities for this year: IN THE LITERARY WORLD: The Christmas editorial, poem, and short story contest offered by Scribe; openings on the Southerner staff; the DAR and SAR speech contest; participation in the various debate contests. IN THE SOCIAL WORLD: Tryouts for the school play; school dances; participation in school clubs; school opera. IN THE SPORTS WORLD: Football, basketball, and baseball; track: shot put, distance running, sprinting, high jump, broad jump, pole vault; tennis. SOUTHERNERS' CARS DO GYPSY ROSE LEE South High student cars are doing a Gipsy Rose Lee on us they're being stripped! It seems that someone has modernized the old saying, "Honesty pays," into "Honesty pays poor dividends." All those "millionaires" who have made over $150 a month during the summer, and who like to show off, ought to not come crying to the principal because their fancy trimmings are gone. South can't help it if some hopeless individual is attracted by all that is gawdy and glittering. However, there is a solution: Leave your car at home. It's patriotic, and penny-wis- e. When school dances come along, you will ask Dad to lend you his car. However, Dad will sigh sorrowfully. "Sorry, Son, my tires are all shot." And then YOU will be all shot! For Victory . . .
