Last minute preparations for the annual military prom at South high school were being made today and will soon be completed for the Cadet Hop Saturday, announced Cadet Major Stanley Smith, stu-dent body president and chairman of the dance this year. "Keep 'Em Flying," the air corps slogan, will be used as a theme in three ballrooms in the school building.

SHAG Sponsors Search For Novel Hair Styles Eggwhite, soda, vinegar and lemon juice are only a few of the concoctions and mysterious po-tions South high school girls art utilizing to retain a lovely sheerv for the annual SHAG hair-d- o contest, proclaimed "in tact" lasv Monday. By this action, the masculine bull-do- g coiffure has been tem-porarily pushed into obscurity. Glamorous, original, short bob, and comic hair styles have taken over the spotlight. With girls resembling a moving hair styling review, the slogan "hair today and gone tomorrow" is entirely inappropriate, at least until March 10, when judgment will be passed upon final entrants by SHAG council and a winner will be selected from each of the four style divisions. All types of hair dressing equip-ment has been used to bring about desired results. Lack of hairpins has caused little trouble to the girls for the ingenuity of woman has produced a substitute in the insignificant toothpick and the contest goes on unhampered. Seniors Sponsor Matinee Dances For Gift Fund Beginning March 9 1942, the Senior class will sponsor weekly matinee dances that will take place in the boys' gym. The purpose of these dances is to raise enough money for the gift which the sen-iors will present to the on-comi- ng Juniors. Seventy-fiv- e dollars is the goal to be reached. The school will double this amount by adding $75 for purchasing the gift. Definite prices have not been set, but as far as it is known, the prices for the first dance will be couples, 5c, and stags, 10c. Prices and schedules for the other dances will be announced later. Tickets may be obtained from senior class committee members of the Board of Control during ad-visory or lunch periods. Margaret Kilbourne and Stanley Jones have charge of this . event. "A good selection of the very fin-est records will be played at these dances, and fun for all who par-ticipate is assured," Margaret said. "Any suggestion as to what kind of a gift should be purchased would be greatly appreciated," added Stanley. Hale Christens SK Branch Blue Belts Aiding in the work and being a part of the Southern Knights, a Blue Belt division of South high school was inaugurated Thursday, February 26. The organization will be supervised by C. Dewey Hale, dean of boys. Blue belts and sweaters are marks of identification by which they are known. Because of the national crisis, it is necessary to guard against saboteurs around schools. Anoth-er duty of the BBD is to keep the halls clear of people entering school without special permission or identification. The hall guards will collect permits as visitors leave the school. All persons in the halls without proper (and Dean Hale means PROPER) ident-ification, will be escorted to the office. A teacher is in direct charge of the Blue Belts in assigned periods. Captains are chosen for each class time. They will report all ab-sentees and see that each position is filled. All members are excused five minutes early from class preceed-in- g their duty, to insure successful service. Dean Hale commented that to make the new project a success it will take the full of faculty, and the student body. Orators Receive DAR-SA- R Medals Medals have been awarded to Virginia George and William, Leit-er for their winning speeches in the South high school Daughters of the American Revolution and Sons of the American Revolution oratorical contest finals on Feb-ruary 20. Virginia spoke on the subject "America Past, Present and Future." "The American's Way" was the topic given by Bill. Speaking before the student body, both stressed the preserva-tion of our American ideals. Other D A R finalists and their subjects, chosen from the prelim-inary tryouts on February 5, were Bonnie Jean Scott, "Because We Must"; Aria Day, "America the Block on Which I Live"; Elaine Weilenman, "True Patriotism"; and Vivian Edman, "Molly Pitcher 1942." Contestants from the S A R were Robert Reeves, "Common Sense to Defend Our Rights"; Douglas Welti, "An American's Creed," and John McMillan, "Education Our Bulwark of Defense." On the bases of quality, original-ity, forcefulness of delivery, pro-nunciation and clearness, the or-ators were judged by Mrs. Anne F. Rutledge, Mrs. Alma Woodhall, Mrs. Jed F. Wooley, Russtll Wright, Dr. Munn Cannon and Senator Perry W. Jenkins. Presenting the medals were Mrs. A. L. Thomas and Rev. W. F. Bulk-le- y. Miss Dyer introduced these speakers. Miss Myrth Harvey, English teachers, and social studies teach-ers aided the students in prepar-ing their talks. DeVoe Woolf Attends Meet Among ten thousand people present at the convention spon-sored by the American Association of School Administration and the National Education Association, at San Francisco, was De Voe Woolf, principal of South high school. Representatives from schools throughout the United States at-tended the 585 meetings conducted from February 18 to 28. Centered around the theme, "Ed-ucation for Free People," and the question, "What Should Schools Do in Regard to War Needs," the first meeting commenced. Purposes of the convention were to discourage indifference to the present world conflict, but rather to urge school children to be con-scious of it. It was believed that pupils in the Western and Middiewestern states are not as war-minde- d as those in the East and on the Pa-cific coast. It was stated that nor-mal living must continue so as to avoid hysteria, but nevertheless preparedness should not be ne-glected. Many of the speakers especially stressed that citizenship courses be given to high school students in order to train them for defense jobs after graduation. Mr. Woolf announced at an as-sembly, March 4, that assemblies and other entertainment will con-tinue for the purpose of keeping the morale up. He stated that the assembly was the first presented to educate the students upon con-duct during air raids. University Plans Summer Quarter According to Dr. John T. Wahl-quis- t, dean of the lower division at the University of Utah, plans for a summer session are still be-ing perfected, and definite an-nouncements concerning the course will be forthcoming. If the University faculty decides to sponsor the summer quarter, it will begin June 15 and extend un-til July 23, but instructions will definitely be given in such courses as engineering, nursing and chemistry, according to Dr. Wahlquist. A post session com-mencing July 27 lasts five weeks. ending1 just before the regular fall quarter. Dean Wahlquist stated that there is a possibility of obtaining aid from the Federal Government for students who want to attend the University during the summer but are unable to do so without aid. By attending the summer session, students will, graduate in three years instead of the conven-tional four. Approximately one out of every five students entering the univer-sity from South plans to enter the proposed summer session. South Band Prepares Music of America Utilizing the theme, "Music by American Composers," the South high school band, under the direc-tion of Armont Willardson, will give a concert in the South audi-torium during one of the spring months. . In addition to regular script pieces, specialty numbers are being prepared by members. A novel ar-rangement of "The Bells of Saint Mary's" and an original interpre-tation of Morton Gould's "Pa-vann- e" in swingidian rhythm is planned. "Morning, Noon and Night in Vienna" by Suppe is the only number which is not American styled. Missouri Teacher Lectures at South "Vocational Guidance for Youth" was the topic of tho lecture given to the vocations classes by Mr. Richard Ball of Kansas City, Mo., on his one-da- y visit here, Feb-ruary 24. : He urged that interest in work and good personality are requisites for keeping and enjoying one's job. Mr. Ball is a teacher of the Northeast high school, Mississippi, and came directly to Salt Lake from a National Vocation Guid-ance meeting in San Francisco. |
