Julie Spitz is chairman of the committee. At a victory corps meeting of upper-divisio- n high school student body officers, P-T- A officers, and faculty, the declaration was made that "junior commando" arm bands would not be instigated into city schools. "No glamour is lacking from South drives," prexy Dee Lowder said. "Since we are all in this war, and many of us will go into the army upon graduation, we should do our best to further the war ef-fort now." Such was the opinion expressed during the "Schools at War" drives at South high school. Students, 1900 Southerners, are actively partici-pating, to date, in seven major drives, including scrap, key, war chest, war bond and stamp, hospital waste bags, "write to service-men", and Dugway projects. Rec-ords show this is the best display yet made by a city school. Keeping steady pace, though not as spectacular as in last year's drive, the students have registered bond and stamp sales at almost $3,000, Mrs. Mabel Welch, book-store manager, reported. Students narrowed their quota on waste bags for the Salt Lake General hospital to 50 a week from each advisory class at the request of hospital personnel. Formerly, the classes were ambitious enough to make 150 and more of the news-paper bed waste bags a day. The hospital will be supplied with more bags if an epidemic or serious disaster occurs, Roy Marsh, presi-dent of room 225, which delivers the containers, announced. Dugway Drive Booms It was during the two-mon- th Dugway drive that the students fired the big morale gun. Clothing rooms furnished curtains for the barracks at the chemical testing grounds, and the other advisory classes, cooperating with the P-T- A headed by Mrs. Gillmor, donated books, records, smoking stands, and numerous other conveniences including pool and ping pong tables and sets. A group of entertainers from South will also fete the service men at Dugway at the request of Major A. J. Mottern, morale of-ficer. Stimulated by a letter from George Sorenson, former South student now in the navy, who wrote Harvey Grooms Debaters For Broadcast Miss Myrth Harvey of the De-bate department of South high is drilling her charges for the debate wars and a radio show over KDYL on Nov. 28. She has offered three separate problems for discussion in her classes: (1) "Peace Policies After the War." (2) "Eighteen Year Old Draft Law." (3) "Wage Policies." These subjects will be discussed when South's team meets East in a few weeks, but until then, the debators are grooming themselves for their personal appearance over KDYL on November 28th. This program will be staged entirely by live South high students. The topic for the discussion is, "What the High School Student Reads." Miss Harvey wants all students who are interested in giving in-formation on this subject to report to her at their earliest convenience. Sergeant Paul D. Redmond and Lieutenant E. H. Mitchell an-nounced last Friday that all Re-serve Officer Training Corps Ca-dets will hereafter wear uniform "A" at all times when in the halls of South high or when seen upon the streets of Salt Lake City. This order, effective immediately upon announcement, makes it com-pulsory that all Rookies wear the complete uniform at all times from the time that they leave their home until they are in class. Even then it should be removed only when it is necessary for the safety of the uniform and when necessary for the comfort of the Cadet, Ser- - geant Redmond said. This order also provides that the blouse shall be worn in the cafe-teria. The cafeteria is not consid-ered as a classroom, according to Lieutenant Mitchell. The officers and officers will enforce this rul-ing, designed to make the South High Battalion, United States Re-serve Officers Training Corps Ca-dets, the best dressed uniformed division in this area. Once more South high will see an active Non-Com- s Club. The club, composed of sergeants, cor-porals and other ed officers, was formed last Thursday morning at an 8 a. m. session of these officers. ""Sergeant Sherbyn Meredith was elected to head the club, with First Sergeant Clarence Cummings as vice president and Platoon Ser-geant Ralph Pyper as secretary. The main purpose of the club is to promote fellowship among the officers and men of the South high battalion. Since the non-co- are the bridge between the enlisted man and the commissioned officer, the .N. G.'s do the job with the utmost of their ability. The club also plans an active so-cial season, with Sergeant Red-mond, club sponsor, plunging in to help. South high ROTC Cadets are now relaxing after being engrossed in strenuous drill in preparation for the Armistive Day Parade, when the entire Salt Lake .regi-ment paraded before the throngs of Salt Lake business men and offi-cers of the Ninth Service Command and the State of Utah. Opinions after the parade were that thus far the future soldiers appear to be shaping into a first class infantry drill unit. South is confident that its bat-talion, under the direction of two veteran soldiers, will, with East and West high schools, win another cov-eted honor rating. Nutritionist Eulogizes Victory Diet by Susan McCarrel One of the most important ques-tions that arises out of this war, asked of all city school students by Miss Nancy i? inch, Chairman oi tne Salt Lake Nutritional Council, is "Do you eat a 'Victory Diet'?" , Miss jb'inch, in a typical wartime ' office, food, "zip your lip," and buy bond posters on the walls, stressed the point that today's children will be the future United States and food makes a nation stronger. "The biggest trouble I have seen is that students go to school with-o- ur breakfast," was the nutrition-ist's answer when asked how well the average student eats. The morning is the hardest part of the day, Miss Finch said, and tveryone is better off with not Just breakfast, but a good breakfast. Dieting seems to be "the thing' for hi,gh school students, but it can lead to something serious lattr even though it does seem harm-less and fashionable now. Although many children have all they can to eat, essential elemtnts may be lacking. The Nutrition Council recom-mends that each growing boy and girl eat each day 1 quart of milk. 1 egg. 2 fruits Cone citrus or tomato). 2 vegctablts (one yellow, one green). y4 pound meat, fish, or poultry. 2 cereals (whole wheat or en-riched bread included). This is only one-thir- d of the re-quirements to develop a good per-sonality, an alice look and vital-ity to the eater. Sleep and extr-cis- e make up the other portions, Miss Finch said. And there isi one more question Miss Finch would like all school children to hear "What's tne good of fine clothes, neat hair, nice fingernails, etc., if you haven't got anything inside of it?" Firms Hire Girls For Christmas Rush Ninety-tw- o girls out of 352 reg-istered to work during the Christ-mas rush have already beefc hired to work after school hours, on Sat-urdays, and through to the holi-days. Beginning on Dec. 14, until Christmas other girls will miss classes and be placed in the var-ious stores such as, Kress, Wool-wort- h, Grant's, Sears and Roebuck, Dollar Store, J. C. Penny's, Auer-bac- hs and the Paris. Miss Marshall, at the employ-ment office, contacts the deans of the various high schools, to send her girls and then the stores con-tact her for girls to be interviewed. This year junior girls will be al-lowed to work during the rush pro-viding they are up scholastically. Directories Await Thanksgiving Debut Miss Mabel Welch, manager of the South High Book Store, ed last Monday that the 1942-194- 3 Student Directory will be ready for student sales just before Thanksgiving Day. The ' directory will be ready at that time so that the boys will be able to use it for their convenience in getting dates for the holidays, she said. Sales will be made in the book store, as has been the practice in past years. Watch Stopped?

Starting Time Advanced Youngsters of elementary school age, including brothers and sisters of Southerners, get an even longer snooze than big brother as their schools began this week on a new schedule, starting at 9:30 a. m. The switch was made because of trans-portation difficulties, school offi-cials said. |
