NYA Offers Summer War Oasses A letter outlining training for different war jobs under the Na-tional Youth administration, was sent to all seniors recently, list-ing training open to everyone be-tween the ages of 16 and 25 and to those who secure a work permit from school authorities if the per-son has not graduated. The letter stated that classes are to be given in Salt Lake City and Provo, where eight hours of training will be given every day except Saturday and Sunday. If living at home, the "learning wage" is $40 a month, and if living in the dormitories, $15.90. The latter does not include meals, lodging, re-creational facilities, and medical care. All classes, except power sewing, are open to both boys and girls. In Salt Lake, the following courses will be given: Machine shop, which intends to teach operation of lathes, drill presses, milling machines, shapers, grinders, planers, heat-treatin- g equipment, blueprint reading, and bench-wor- k included. Welding, both electric arc and acetylene cutting are taught. Radio includes instruction in maintenance and construction of receiving and transmitting sets. Clerical includes such subjects as typing, shorthand, calculating, compometer, filing, switchboard operation, and mimeographing. Half of the day will be spent in training at school, and the other half of the day will be spent in a government office for practice. Drafting, both mechanical and construction, includes tracing blua prints and developing. Power sewing, which is for girls, gives instruction in all types of power-drive- n sewing machines. 4-- Annual Draws Praise of Southerners South students this week ta-pered off activities during the year by penning final eulogies and sentiments in the Southerner, an-nual publication which occupied the time of Lawrence A. Johnson, editor, and his staff since Octo-ber, and developed the significant theme of "V for Victory" amid beautiful art work and sharp half-tones. The yearbook, which must be the final such product for the duration because of lack of photo-graphic materials and inconsisten-cies of obtaining engravings and etchings, was planned this year not only for its immediate beauty, but with the outlook that it would be a cherished .volume ten years hence. Staff members have worked on the idea that "a thing of beauty is a joy forever," and art work by Jimmy Glezos, art manager, has reached an ultra. Editor John-son was assisted by Gloria Clau-sen, associate editor, in planning the spacious layouts and unique ideas which characterize every section of the book. The sag in the yearbook came when athletes discovered that no spring sports were pictured. Edi-tor Johnson explained that no en-gravings were obtainable after March, although the staff did ev-erything in its power to make the final product a complete vol-ume and not a semester booK. Similarly, other pictures of spring campus activities were cut to the bone. Miss Josephine Sherman, com-mercial instructor, sponsored work on the book during the final phase of its production. Others who have supervised work of the staff were D. F. Williams and Eddie F. Barr, who left South earlier this year. Theron Jackman was business manager for the book, with Arva Davis as advertising manager. Photography was done by Stan Gold, Dean" Peck, and Jean Cam-paner-o. Literary editors were Mar-jori- e Adamson and Irene Sidwell. Gala Time Had At Fairmont Park Proving an ample substitute for the war-restrict- ed Lagoon day, "Fairmont Park" day was inaug-urated Friday as students played, swam, ate, danced, and took in a double feature movie instead of motoring to the amusement cen-ter as during the 11 previous years in South's history. A Events Listed In Final May Calendar MAY 5 South's battalion pa-rade proved satisfactory. Army officers observed the cadets as a body in drilling and in mass calisthenics. MAY 7 Teachers' institute was held in South's auditorium. "The Children We Teach" was the theme of the slides with narration. Musical numbers were also given by various age groups. MAY 11 Regimental review was witnessed in the Univer-sity of Utah stadium by army officers, city and state authori-ties and students of the city high schools. First floor's assembly with vocational guidance given by University of Utah and Board of Education officials. MAY 12 Social Arts com-mencement tea honored the girls and their work this ... year. Dresses, hose and high heels made it a semiformal affair. Second floor's assembly, hear-ing advice on future occupa-tions. MAY 13 The Leaders club party at West. Present and prospective members enjoying themselves at games and with refreshments. MAY 14 The alumni dance was the setting for the election of the 1943-4- 4 Alumni Associa-tion Officers.

M A Y 25 Yearbooks circu-lated and all the fun of the past year was reviewed through the colorful pages of the last Southerner for the duration.

"Logan Grntily" The Dramatic club and dra-matic department of Sparten-burg- , S. C. presented a variety program which lasted one week. The program consisted of skits, poems, monologues, and short plays presented every afternoon Monday through Friday by the members of the dramatic club and department. The All Campus party of Mes high, Mesa, Arizona, took place the night of April 30. The party was in the form of a mock track meet featuring a patriotic theme. A soldier at 15, Bill Lyons of Oakland Tech high school, Oak-land, Cal., has put behind him seven months of the army, three parachute jumps, and an as-sumed name. In Seattle, Wash, he enlisted in the army at the ripe old age of 15 under the alias of John E. Moulton. He was sent to Fort Benning, Georgia to com-plete a course in parachute leap-ing that was necessary before joining the ski troops. After successfully completing two jumps he sprained his ankle on the third thousand foot leap. The doctors and nurses became suspicious and Bill's army car-eer was over.

I' Pre-Inductio- n Classes on Dock for '44 Appreciating the fact that fu-ture battles on the war fronts may be fought by students now in high school, the board of edu-cation in cooperation with the government of the United States has set forth several new courses for next year. ' As half a school' of juniors enter South's portals next fall, they will have the chance to par-ticipate in subjects that will aid in the future armed forces or war industries. i Radio and1 aeronautics have been subjects at South this year, yet the importance of these courses as an aid in the war effort has just recently been brought forth in the nation's schools. Next year radio and aeronautics will again be important subjects in the South subject schedule. For the electrically minded stu-dents, the 1943-194- 4 year will in-troduce fundamentals of electric-ity. It promises to be an inter-esting course illuminating the properties and actions of elec-tricity under different conditions. For those adept at mechanics, fundamentals of mechanics will prove an outlet for their talents. Fundamentals of driving will also enter the emergency train-ing outline. Last of new subjects, high school arithmetic, will continue as it has the last semester. There is still time to change programs for interested seniors. To derive the greatest benefit from .high school work students must make a wise choice of sub-jects. The choosing of a wise program involves the student, the parents, the deans and the principal. If there is any doubt about the in-dividual program, these adnsers fthould be consulted. |
