V BARBARA MORRISON Band Hails Southerner As Success J Every step except legal action has been taken by Jack Teagarden and his band, recent guests of the Paramount Theatre, toward the adoption of Barbara Morrison, talented junior class president and candidate for the student body presidential post next year. ' At the climax of her weekly dancing engagement with the world-famo- us band, a newspaper published weekly by members stated, "Fellows in the orchestra ; have made arrangements to draw up adoption papers so that Miss Morrison may be with them per-manently." This gesture was typical of the musicians who presented Banbara with a Bulova wrist watch, a fat check, and a letter of appreciation signed by the orchestra personnel. The note read, "Best wishes for a richly deserved future to one of the finest dancers we have ever had the pleasure of seeing or working with. We hope that we will be see-ing you again soon and often." The words "To Barbara Jack Teagarden and Band" were en graved on the back of the watch and the date of presentation, May 25, 1942. Several telegrams were sent by the enthusiastic performers, one of them being a letter of recommen-dation to Earl Carroll, veteran di-rector of musical and dance pro-ductions. Music to which Barbara dances was arranged for a fourteen-piec- e band and copies of the manuscript were presented to her. Arrangements for the vivacious artist to appear with the orchestra during the summer months are be-ing made by the director. VOL. XI; NO. 12. SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1942. Price Five Cents South Graduates 900 Tonight Senior Voices Blend In (Alma Mater' Hymn Voices of more than 900 students will raise in 'magnificent acclaim of South tonight at 8 p. m. in the auditorium as they sing the Alma Mater Hymn at the Eleventh Graduating Exer-cises. According to DeVoe Woolf, principal, and Miss Winifred H. Dyer, the 1942 graduating class is the largest - in the history of South, and, as far as is known, largest in the history of Utah high schools, ; , The ceremony Will begin with the traditional procession march of the graduating seniors. Stanley G. Smith, president of the student as-sociation, will speak after the Girls' Glee club opens the program with two selections. His talk is entitled "Work Another Ally." A special string ensemble from the orchestra will present a num-ber following Stan's talk. During the course of the gradua-tion exercises, Stanley Jones, pres-ident of the senior class, will pre-sent the class gift, two speakers' stands, which will be accepted by Barbara Morrison, president of the junior class. The A'Cappella choir will sing "Dawn" and "Just for Tonight." Mr. Woolf will then present the graduating class. The honor of accepting the class has been given to Dr. J. T. Worlton, assistant su-perintendent of schools. The climax of the evening when students receive diplomas for com-pletion of school work will follow Dr. Worlton's acceptance speech. The awarding of diplomas will be made by George L. Crowther. D. E. Hammond, II. J. Plumhof, and Mrs. A. R. Curtis, from the Board of Education, will distribute diplomas. As a finale for the evening and the public education of graduating seniors, the "Alma Mater Hymn" will complete the graduation exer-cises. Seldon Heaps, from the Glenn Brothers Music Company, will pro-vide organ music for marches and the closing hymn. Honor Graduates Attend fAward Dinner Dance' Extra curricular activities for 1941-4- 2 were climaxed Tues-day night at the Eleventh Annual Award Dinner-Danc- e when 495 students received awards for outstanding-- work in various fields. At the dinner, which began at 7 p. m., students representing specific school activities gave two minute speeches summarizing the year's events. Among those who spoke were captains of the sports teams, publication editors, ROTC representatives, SAM and SHAG officers, stage crew mana-ger, and other special activities. Dr. L. John Nuttal Jr., from the Board of Education; Dan Baker, principal of West high school, and City Commissioner John B. Math-ewso- n also gave short speeches. Present at the dinner were mem-bers and officers of the Board of Education, faculty members, and principals of several lower division high schools. Dancing began at 10 p. m. in the boys' gym to the music of Bob Bennet's orchestra. Medals were awarded by a rep-resentative of the Daughters of the American Revolution to Marva Tingey as representative from South in the DAR pilgrimage to Washington contest, and to Mar-garet Brubaker and Vivian Ed-munds for outstanding work in homemaking. I Cubs Show How It Was Done Uourtesy bait Jake Tribune Mary Sundberg, Beth Smith, and Stan Smith, discuss factors con-tributing to success of the Defense Stamp Sales. Board Accepts Resignation David McLelland and Milton Holl-stei- n Wednesday learned that the Board of Control had accepted their resignations as candidates in the student body presidential race. Still battling for honors are Dee Lowder, Barbara Morrison and Jimmy Neeley, who will begin campaigning on the opening day of the fall quarter next year. Milton offered his resignation in order to remain eligible for his position as 1942-'4- 3 Scribe editor. He expressed his desire to continue on in a journalistic career both as Scribe editor and correspondent to the Salt Lake Tribune. Dave cited lack of time and a full schedule as two of the reasons for which he has seen fit to with-draw. Originally scheduled for a three-yea- r course, Dave has cram-med his slate full of prepared sub--' jects in order to graduate in the regular two years. He is in line for the S A M presidency, which he will accept if elected. The candidates were chosen by students May 11. Two nominees who were nudged out of the running during the first ballot may be selected to fill the positions vacated by Dave and Milt. Defense Stamp Sales Reach Original Goal South high school students dug deeply into pockets and purses dur-ing the four week campaign for sale of War Bonds and Stamps at this school and bought $4,050.30 of security for the future. Sales climaxed Tuesday, while the home room which rode the crest of the stamp and bond wave was given awards today. With the permission of the board of education, city schools were given permission to make sales. Booths opened on May 5. Keeping1 the campaign always before students, Roy Marsh super-vised publicity arrangements. Students who supervised jobs' soliciting were Dee Lowder, Stan Kilbourne, Dave McLelland, and Bette Figgat. The Southerners willingly agreed to give 50fo of money so earned for stamps. Eligibility rules laid down by a house of delegates committee head-ed by Lawrence Palmer, clarified the situation as to which home rooms would compete for top hon-ors. The winning home room, all of whose students must have bought at least $2 worth of stamps, will see each student take on an additional 2 bucks toward a bond. Stamps and bonds bought by teachers did not count in the con-test. Students who put more than $50 in bonds were placed in a sep-arate class, and competed against each other. Their bonds counted $5.00 for the home room, however. Interest in the drive has been considerably higher than at other city high schools. The Southern-ers came through with more than double the amount East salted away, while West high never real-ly got started. If circumstances and world de-velopments continue on a similar plane as today, the sales may con-tinue next year. Boys Nominate SAM Officers Nominated Monday to govern the boys council at South, Dave McLelland, Stan Kilbourne, Jim Neeley, Dick North, and Clair Em-pe- y, will seek offices ranging from president to Secretary of SAM, Dean Hale announced today. Each of the fellows will inherit one of the offices. All of the men are outstanding athletes, and the faith their fellow students hold in them was evi-denced by the heavy ballot which was cast in the nominations. McLelland vacated his position as a presidential candidate, but will run for the South Associated Men council presidency. Accord-ing to '41-'4- 2 President Lowder, Dave has done well this year as SAM secretary. It is doubtful that Jimmy will seek the presidency. He is a can-didate for the student body guid-ing position. Neeley has served this year as student body his-torian. Kilbourne has been first vice president of S A M this year, and aided greatly in the numerous ac-tivities the council has planned and executed this year. Empey and North have shone brightly in several fields of ath-letics. Coaches have rated them as exceptionally cooperative and am-bitious. Voters, stricty among the boys, will cast ballots for these fellows in the fall. The exact date will be set by the board of control. In former years, both nomina-tions and elections have been car-ried on in the fall.' Scribe Receives 'Signpost' Award Cashing in on a year of hard work, Scribe staff members learned last week that the newspaper had been acclaimed the outstanding Utah high school publication by t the Weber College Signpost. Editor Doris Dibble, brushing aside all her fan mail, declared that "I'm pleased, of course, and very happy to see the Scribe get the award." An inscribed cup will be present-ed to Editor Dibble and her col-leagues. Entered in competition with pub-lications from almost every other state high school, the award was presented to the Scribe this year for what judges termed "outstand-ing achievement and progress in all fields covered by a high school v newspaper." The judges were par ticularly pleased with outside news coverage, treatment of school news, and general editing. The rating achieved within Utah follows a rating corresponding with "Good", made by the National Scholastic Press Association. T Alumni Excell In Scholarship Graduates from South high school last year, Tom Apostol, Ed-ward Christensen, Joseph R. New-ton, Richard iH. Smith, former stu-dent body president, and John R. Ward, have gained scholastic hon-ors sufficiently high to make them eligible for membership in Phi Eta Sigma, a freshman honorary schol-astic fraternity at the University of Utah, according to DeVoe Woolf. The Phi Eta Sigma is a national organization limited to a small number of men who maintain an especially high scholastic! standard during their freshman college year. Its purpose is the promotion of scholarship and encouragement of fellowship among superior stu-dents. South high as well as these stu-dents should be congratulated for these achievements. |
