Victor (Memberf est fm.)l94l-42- ) ' -- L Strollin' Through the Halls Gosh, isn't it a wonderful sixth period out in the ball away from it all the grind and slav-ing and-o- ops, as I picked the pieces up from the floor, I gazed off to see an oh, so good- - -- k.J looking beige sweater, and gee, what pretty hazel eyes and dark hair. Umm--m, so this is S. K. Carl Childs, that all-ci- ty star, the boy who sends the lovely corsages to wear at informal dances. That reminds me so I flashed my lit-tle badge and traveled on down the hall before he found out it was only a "Superman Pledge." Well, well there's cutie Jo Anne Squires looking ever so longingly across the hall. Blond blue-eye- d juniors are pretty cute, thinks "Linke" (Ross Lyons to you) as he returns that "on the inside looking out" stare. I hear this goes on every day. They stand at the back door and wave. Oh, oh, Dorothy Knudson's tripping peo-ple on her' broken leg again. Just 'cause she's a third year and is an angel, she thinks she can flash that old personality smile and get away with murder. She can. Say ! I wonder if that's where Dot Johnson got the pretty shiner. As long as we're on the Dorothys did I tell you about Irving's newest contribution to South's heartbreakers? Well, I hear she but I wasn't supposed to tell. Well, anyway, Dorothy Parkin-son, she's another blond, and 5' 4", with eyes of blue you'd like to look at more, and does she look heavenly in blue. Oh, oh, there's that bal-let dancer (an himi a 1st Lewy, too) Carl Open-sha- w. A senior and still doing the spring dance ! Tall, cute, and blond, and so much fun ! ' Well, the bell's rung and guess I'll go home and rest after such a strenuous day. Oh for an ice cream cone! Where's Dotty Kilgore, the dar-ling little junior with the baby bob who always is so nice and passes it out in gobs. Oh, well, guess I'll have to be a plutocrat and spend my own money. ) To be polite is to do and say The kindest things in the kindest way. Sophia Bronson Tittering ton. We ought to do well with our friends when they are present and speak well of them when they are absent. Epictetus. Tomorrow night there will be dancing, And probably lots of romancing. Beautiful gowns of every hue, Pink, sheer green, and loveliest blue. And on this night Cadets will reign, If you don't have a good time They're not to blame. Come on you fellows, it's not too late - To shed your shyness and get a date. This is the biggest dance of the year, When thoughts of studying all disappear, And fashion-wis- e girls will do their best To make this year's Hop a great success. For the big night of his life, Cadet Lieutenant Colonel George Wilde has asked Betty Figgat to accompany him to the big event. She has selected a plaited drill skirt of shell pink with white bishop sleeves. Smiling Cadet Lieutenant Keith Best will dance the first one with Jean McClellan, who will be lus-cious in a sky-blu- e and white form-fitti- ng taffeta dress with dropped waist skirt and butterfly sleeves. White ostrich plumes will adorn the salmon-pin- k frock of blonde Lorraine Christopherson, who will be escorted by Frank Harrow, Ca-det Lieutenant Colonel. Cadet Major Robert Burton has asked Donna Carlson to be the number one girl of that night. Donna's blonde loveliness will be accentuated by a sapphire velvet bodice. Her taffeta skirt will be blue to match her eyes. Leola Yates, the choice of Stan-ley Smith, Cadet Major, will look ever so lovely in a navy blue net dress with velvet top and net sleeves. Sequins will decorate the sweetheart neck. The Hop isn't going to be con-fined to officers only, for many civilians have anxiously awaited this event. Jeane Seare carefully planned her bouffant model of jet black net after she accepted Jack Whipple's invitation.' Best wishes for a wonderful time, and we'll be seeing ya there! Youth of Today America Tomorrow Will there ever, can there ever be peace? We must begin now to plan for the post-w- ar period. The students who are in schools today may not have to actually fight in this war, but they will have to win the peace after the war. We who are students now are future statesmen, future business men, and future citizens of America and we must be prepared to shoulder these re-sponsibilities. If the Allied Nations do not win we needn't worry about planning for the future, so we can only plan for victory and peace. The important thing is to make our plans now. One of the gravest mistakes recognized in World War I was the negligence of the countries to plan for the future until the future was literally upon them. In planning the peace we certainly must not forget the war. This is a conflict in which there cannot, there must not be a compromise. It will be a battle to the finish and such a finish will involve many vital problems to America and to the world. Can we rely on the Atlantic Charter? Is it possible to completely disarm all aggressive nations as the eighth point stipulates? How can this be accomplished? If, as military experts decree, the war is going to last 20 years, there will undoubtedly be another president. Will this future president carry out the Atlantic Charter? These are only a few of the problems which the post-wa- r period will bring. These are prob-lems which we, the students of today, will have to solve. Remember, the United States has won six major wars but it has never won a major peace. Dear Cubby: Whew! My goodness, what a bee-hi- ve of activity! Bet General MacArthur and the Southerner staff are working harder for the good of the people than anyone. They are really doing a good job and should be complimented. Although the yearbook is surrounded with deep secrecy, it is really going to be a "honey" ! With such a staff, putting in so much time and ef-fort, it just can't help being the best one yet. How do I know they are working so hard? Well, Gayle Sell and Clyde Zundell were in Mr. J. Cummings' dark room until 6:30 the other night after school. Developing yearbook pic-tures, of course ! Another proof of concentration was dis-played when Lawrence Johnson was sorting class pictures and found one of a pretty blonde. An " idea struck him! That's right, what is her phone number? Well, Larry, it is in the di-rectory, and directories are in the bookstore, costing 10 cents each. Don't see how the stronger half of the staff can pay such marked attention to work when Margaret Brubaker wears her gorgeous Kelly-gree- n outfit! A bit of St. Patrick's Ireland to really cheer, and with Maggie wearing it, it couldn't reach a higher zenith. Doug Heiner and Mary Jane Riches cer-tainly enjoy their work on the Sooutherner. It gives them more time to be together . . . Being together reminds me of Fred Weidner and Vione Walker who are steadying it . . . Bill Clinton gave Eleanor Fullmer a dozen roses for her birthday . . '. Have you been wondering why Kaye Forcade seems to be so happy? We found the answer, her marine boy friend has been here on a visit. . . . Frank Michels claims that our darling junior, Patricia Brandley, is the nicest girl he has ever dated. Congratulations, Pat, that is really a compliment coming from Frank; we know! ... A certain blue-eye- d blond wants to know the reason Bud Cummings isn't working in the cafeteria. She misses those cones and especially Bud . . . Cubby, be good now, and we'll see you at the Cadet Hop. Love, Nosey Cub. Manners A La Mode South high school's reserve officers and ladies will reign in all, their stupendous glory tomorrow night. The preparations have been made; everything is in complete precision; all is perfect! When the time comes for the breathless moment to arrive, will you be able to meet it in alii its splendor? Or will you draw back, overcome with awe, in fear that you may say or do something that is not in accordance? Something that will make you remember the night as the one on which you "made that horrible social blunder?" Of course you won't want the latter. You want the Hop to bring back only pleasant memories of what a swell time you had, and it will if you are prepared for it. A huddled, cheek-to-chee- k position, shuffling steps, unnatural and conspicuous bending and twisting and swaying, are all taboo except among the ignorant-- and vulgar. Dancing should be a pleasure, not a freak display. It is customary to dance the first and last numbers, and the one just before and after intermission, with your escort. Also, a boy should never cut in on a promised dance. While dancing, don't close your eyes and wear a blissful or soul-ful expression as if in a trance, but don't appear strained or nervous as if you were counting the steps or had no confidence in your danc-ing. Have a priceless feeling of self-possessi- look your enjoyment of the music and motion, and above, all, make your partner feel ap-preciated. Each one of you, but especially the one who is the better ac-quainted with those present, must introduce those you know to the others, so that each may have plenty of partners. Know your rules of social etiquette and go to it, kids! How Come the Shamrock? March came in with a strong breeze that played with every hat and skirt. With the breeze came the first breath of spring, and the trees and plants started to show the first signs of life. This month is noted for its holiday that falls on March 17 St. Patrick's Day. To find out why the Shamrock is a symbol of Ireland, you would have to journey back into the history of that country 1,500 years. One day in Ireland the holy Saint Patrick was preaching to the natives. "You tell us that there are three Gods, and yet one," wonderingly said the natives. "How can that) be?" For an answer the saint bent over and plucked a shamrock growing at his feet. "Do you not see," he said, "how in this wild flower three leaves are united on one stalk, and will you not then believe what I tell you, that there are indeed three persons and yet one God?" St. Patrick was the first man to introduce Christianity to the Irish barbarians, and leg-ends say that at his death, so great was the glory, that there was no night for 12 days. ,V SUMMER! fxf Becoming - Feminine - and Sturdy SLACK SUITS "jsf'lMfAyl Important creations Jacket and Tuck-in-Mode-ls J ffil Jungles Luanas Sharkskins M H7 Bright colors - $7.95 J 111 "Jf Styles $5.95 IWl SWIM TIME I The New 1942 JANTZEN Swim Suits have J A arrived More dazzling than ever. 4cfi?
