Committee Plans Student Dance Among other activities the Social Committee is making plans for the last student body dance of the year, which will take place May 15. The Social Committee is an or-ganization which performs large duties, but receives little publicity. The reasons for this are easily ex-plained, however, for one of their chief duties is keeping social secrets which would make hot copy, but they claim to have reasons, good ones, too, for keeping them secret. All South's dances are presented through the Social Committee. They arrange for the sponsors of the various dances and help them to make the necessary arrange-ments for a successful dance. CS Dewey Hale is sponsor of the organization, with Mark Schwendi-ma- n as chairman. The members are Dorothy Pittenger, Edwin Bartholomew, Nola Egbert, Law-rence Griffiths, Ruth Carlson, Marva Tingey, Jimmy Glezos, Max" Cannon, Jimmy Harwood, Earl Filmore, Russell Graehl and Dorothy Shelton. These members were chosen for their scholastic and creative ability (as well as the ability to keep their little secrets). ROTC Cadets Receive Staff Advancement Commissioned First Lieutenants, Sherman Thorpe and Kenneth Hubbard joined the staff of offi-cers of the South high school R 0 T C battalion. They will assist in directing personnel of the bat-talion. Band officers recently were ap-pointed by Armont Willardson George Tashima rose to a staff po-sition as a Cadet Captain. First Lieutenant ranking was awarded to Frank Michels, and Burton Ar-ringt-received commission of Second Lieutenant. Earl Middle-mis- s was promoted from Second to First Lieutenant. Theoretical work continues in all classrooms, with junior cadets receiving instruction in the na-tional defense acts and citizenship. Seniors are engaged in studying musketry. With a successful appearance at Irving lower division high school having "baptised by fire" mem-bers of drill teams, they are mak-ing the Cadet Hop their main ob-jective. Cadet Major Stanley Smith and Cadet Sergeant Jamest Ti dwell are guiding junior drill' team cadets and Cadet Lt. Col. Keith Best is guiding formations of the officers' sabre team. A possibility of a mimeographed regular newssheet for the batta-lion has been suggested by the staff. All members of the batta-lion who are journalistically in-clined have been invited to apply for staff positions. DID YOU KNOW? Gymnasium is a Latin word that has its origin in the Greek gym-nazei- n, from gymnos, which means (of all things!) "without a stitch of clothes on!" In the gymnasiums of ancient Rome and Greece it was customary to exercise while nude. It's hard to believe that, literally, a nudist camp can be called a gym-nasium, but it's true! Tribune. Jerks Who Irk Do people irritate you ? When people file their nails, do you shud-der and chill? Do people irk when you they pop and snap their gum in your ear? That which impels some indi-viduals to turn a ghastly green around the gills is commonly in-terpreted as an Virk." People's personalities are devel-oped by the habits they form and practice. Maybe some of your habits may bother other people tremendously althougn you are unaware of it. Yes, some people may irritate others to a point of insanity. This highly spiced poll of irks, gripes and irritations begins with the "incessant hair comber." Along with hoards of others, Lucille Godfrey finds it extremely difficult to endure those early morning arrivals who commence one hour before school time to rake the bone through their gnarled un-derbrush and continue the process tnroughout the daylight hours. BUTT-IN-S-It irritates Fred King when peo-ple butt-i- n on his conversations. It is rude, isn't it? IT SMELLS One who dislikes to see girls putting finger nail polish on, es-pecially during school time, is Wil-for- d Stevenson. He also dislikes the odor of it. (Who doesn't ) WAR PAIN-TER- S It irks Gene Burbidge to see girls "plaster on" make-u- p. When asked why, he replied, "They look like they're trying to beat "Mother Nature' at her own game.'' GUM DANGLES It irks Alice Dillier to see peo-ple dangle their gum. "It looks so adolescent and ill bred," says Alice. MOZART SWING-STIR- S For all rabid swing fans, Krupa's drum or Glen Miller's trombone mean life itself, but to Shirley Sutton, all "hot" music reverberat-ing from such aggregations is "poison." Instead, the melodies of Mozart soothe her soul. V Lucky it was that Beth Smith and Joyce Bowan were born so 'close together. Still luckier were their friends who enjoyed a birth-day party for both in the cafe-teria. A chocolate fudge cake with white mountain frosting, with cocoanut, was enjoyed, along with the rest of the refreshments. In the guest list were: Jean Hammond, Rhea Margetts, Shirley Firth, Mary Sandburg, Jerry An-derson, and Jean Marie Davies. Eva Barton played host to a group of her friends last week at a bob sleigh party. There was a full moon and songs were in the air as the sleigh full of guests traveled over the city streets. Many of the guests included June Buehner, Doreen Cobb, Con-nie Marker, Betty Fellows, Gloria Heller, Jay Gehring, Vernie Holm, Eddie Westra, Norman Woolf, Ross Burton, and Lloyd Jensen. Feted by six hostesses, a birth-day party was given in the cafe-teria for Miss Betty Noble. Present were Ruth Egli, Mary Beth Hamilton, Lilian Tgi, Audry Nor-ber- g, and Dolores Gerome. Sandwiches, pickles, potato chips, ice cream, root beer, individual cup cakes, and candy, comprised the refreshments. Honored guest beside Miss No-ble, was Mrs. Violet Walker. Take a Good Look-Th-en Read This Book "How Green Was My Valley," written by Richard D. V. Llewel-lyn, has been one of the biggest sellers since "Gone With the Wind." Written in a flowing Welsh style, it tells the story of a little boy, Hew, and the valley he loved so well. You'll never forget Eronwen always the loving and understand-ing' sister-in-la- w; his father who is caught in a mine collapse; the school teacher who beats him so cruelly, and the preacher who is disgraced through idle catter. Read the book you'll love it. Cub ChessPlayers Tie With Granite Last Wednesday night the Chess club had its first intra-scho- ol com-petition with Granite high school in which they tied. Chairman of this club is Robert E. Sax. Other members are Bob Bjork, Thurlow Hartwell, Dale Salt, Lou Dods, Leon Monson, and Norman Aherne.

Common Ambition: To be able to sleep as well dur-ing the night as you can when it's time to get up. You can't believe everything you A hear but most people repeat it. I'eat my peas with honey I've done it all my life; It makes the peas taste funny But it keeps them on my knife. Bowling Club Elects New Officers New officers have been elected to lead the activities of the Bowl-ing Clubs for the rest of the year.

I forgot a kleenex! Oh well, I'll just wipe my lipstick off on the wall or I guess this towel will do." Nine times out of ten, the aver-age girl will do this. She un-thinkingly wipes her lipstick-covere- d finger on the nearest thing, whether it is a wall, towel, shower curtain, a linen napkin or a hanky. It would be interesting to find out how different girls spend their day just, by following the lipstick tracks they leave around. And with most girls' it would be easy to do that! They leave their red tracks on silverware when they eat, on glasses when they drink (not to mention drinking foun-tains!) and oh! how they do ruin linen napkins! You say, "How can we avoid it?" The answer is simple learn how to put lipstick on! The sim-ple use of a kleenex to pat off ex-cess lipstick would avoid all that. And another thing learn how to eat so that you don't leave ugly red smudges on the silverware and glassware. There is a way! Yes, lipstick is a nice thing to have if it is used correctly. One thing more all beauticians say, "The secret of beauty is to look natural" so for heaven's sake, don't use those purple shades of lipstick that make you look like you're dead!

PTA Prepares For Air Raid In order to cope with the na-tional emergency that has arisen, the PTA members by request of the PTA board have consented to obtain an afghan or blanket for each advisory room and secure more cots for use in case of injur-ies in air raids. During a real air raid it is esti-mated that one person in each ad-visory will faint. The afghans will be used for these fainting cases. The extra cots will be used to ac-commodate anyone injured in the emergency. j "E" Is Unfortunate Letter in Alphabet "E" is said to be the most un-fortunate letter in the alphabet, because it is always out of cash, forever in dEbt, and never out of dangEr. All of which, as you can see, is truE. Still, it is never in war, always in pEacE, and always in somethnig to Eat. It is the beginning of Existence, the commencement of Ease, and the end of troublE. It is the center of honEsty and is always in lovE. Without it, there would be no lifE, no hEavEn. It is the beginning of Encour-agement and Endeavor and the end of failurE.
