Don Lefavor runner-up- , will automatically become school vice-peside- Primaries were held last Friday, eliminating Kirk Burnley and Morris Waters from the competition. 1 R i 1 Courtesy Salt Lake Telegram President Dexter McGarry is happily anticipating the joys he plans for the forthcoming year. This contest, which probably had little less anticipation, suspense, and excitement for Cubs as did the World Series, required a closely watched count in order to decide who was the winner. Dexter is majoring in science, was a member of the Board of con-trol last year as president of the junior class., and was active in Irving high school's student coun-cil. On the "A" team, he would like to continue his studies at the Univ-ersity if the war does not inter-fere. He would like to be in the air corps if the war is on when he graduates. An active member of the House of Delegates last term, Don was president of his sophomore class at Lincoln high school. He is ma-joring in business and likes music very much. He plays in a clarinet tri with Edgar Denny and Howard Koch. He would like to attend the University of Utah after gradua- tion if the war is over but if it isn't, Navy is for him. The Board of Control will not meet for another week or two, Miss Dyer said, for the members have yet to be chosen. Board of Con-trol members will include, besides Dexter and Don, the school's first vice-preside- nt, secretary and hist-orian, junior and senior class presi-dents, Southerner editor, Scribe editor, SAM president and SHAG president.

South Pledges $20,000 as Bond Goal For One Week in Bond Drive By HELEN TATE "We did it before, we can do it again." South high students are planning a war bond drive this year even greater than last year. In fact, the quota for the two weeks drive this year is twice the ten thousand dollar quota of last year. Yes, the school is striving to raise $20,000 in tw,o weeks. In the past, South has more than gone over the top in all her under-takings. For the benefit of new students, the quota last year was nearly tripled in one week, and the buying of war bonds and stamps continued right up until the end of the year. On December 7 alone, the students contributed $11,029.40, and at asembly in one hour about $9,000 was raised. So onlookers are expecting big things from South high this year. It is the opinion and the hope of everyone that they will not be disappointed. This war bond drive has been planned and is being conducted by a committee consisting , of Julian Maack, Ralph Pyper, Helen Tate, Donna Northup, Dorothy Buxton, Dick Lund, and Gordon Howard. Chairman of the committee is Del-be- rt Atwood, who helped to make last year's drive such a success. It is his opinion and that of all the committee members, that the drive this year can be just twice as suc-cessful as last, and with South high's real school spirit to back it up, how can it fail ! ? ! Wednesday morning will see the campaign in full swing, but it takes thecombined efforts of every stu-dent and all the faculty members. There will be pep rallies during the lunch periods, to boost the school spirit. The students are expected to participate in these rallies, and make them a success. Also, there will be assemblies and a dance this Friday which proves that South is really all out for the third bond drive. So bring your money Wednesday morning, students, and start the ball rolling with a bang. Remember . . . "It's For You." Cubs Greet Many New Teachers Among the many other changes at South high is the coming of new teachers from all parts of the United States. They are doing their part in the war effort working long and strenuous hours, and pre-paring the students for whatever is to come after school. From Lincoln, Nebraska came Miss Helen. Neitzel, our new type shorthand teacher. She received her Master's degree from the Univer-sity of Nebraska and the U of Denver. She likes South very much and to her amazement hasn't tound the students as wild and crazy as she expected, but a grand busch of bundles of joy. She likes bananas, but let's have no apple polishing. Robert Cottrell, student of Univ. of Utah, Univ. of Nebraska, Univ. of Minn, and Berkeley, Calif, is now teaching Algebra here at South. He likes it very much, es-pecially the friendly teachers. But to make him altogether happy he wants a few more girls in his classes. What are you waiting for girls? Louisa Redford, former teacher of Ogden Louis high, is now with us. She has done a great deal of travel, ing and enjoys it immensely. She has spent 2 years in New Zealand and 2 years in New York. Mrs. Redford is a collector of unusual dishes. Oma Shieldler, another of our new type and shorthand teachers, came from Minnesota and was ed-ucated at the U of Minnesota. She is a lover of outdoor sports and dislikes frills and ruffles on wo-men's clothes prefers them tailored. Miss Elsie Schott is from our own Salt Lake. She received her training here at the Univ. of Utah and Berkeley College. She likes sports, traveling, and all kinds of music. She thinks her classes are above average. Mr. Dyer is also from Salt Lake. He last taught at Carbon Junior College. He receive his training the war prouction program. Mr. Dyer thinks South is beautifully constructed and thinks the students are the type that are willing to pay a great price to learn. He takes great pride in the accomplish-ments of his students, but wishes he could get more students in his classes. Plans For SHAG, SAM Await Officers Elections As has been the usual proceedure of this school, the SHAG and SAM officers will not be elected until the president and other officers have been elected. According to Miss Monay, deai of girls, there will be held this year the annual Mothers and Daughters' Masquerade and the ever popular Girls' dance. Other activities of the SHAG ciannot e planned until SHAG officers have been named. The SAM's activities this year will probably follow the same plans as last year, stated Mr. Hale, dean of boys. The deans are looking forward to a very successful year and ask students to find out if their candi-date is working before nominating them to these important positions for election. Army, Navy Tests November 9 A-1- 2 and V-1- 2 qualifying tests will be offered to fellows who will be graduating and who have at-tained their 17th but not their 20th birthday by March first. These tests will be given on the morning of November 9th here at South, but students will not know until December as to whether or not they have qualified on these tests. The A-1- 2 test is provided for those interested in specializing in Army training. And the V-1- 2 test is for those who qualify, desiring extensive Navy training, which is officers school. Fire Drill Finds Students Slow Students cleared the building in three minutes and fifteen seconds Thursday, October 7, in the first fire drill this year. It could be cleared in less time since pupils who left the first floor stopped too close to the building and caused a delay in the lower hall. Students must remember to turn on the main sidewalk instead of south, since the fireplug was com-pletely blocked off in the drill. War Conditions Limit Yearbook Although no plans have been made, and the staff has not been chosen, Southerners can be sure of having a yearbook, Walter Stevens, South high treasurer said. Because of war-tim- e restric-tions on photograhpic equip-ment, the Southerner will be cut down to sixty per cent of its original size, and students will be photographed in groups instead of individually. All students interested in be-ing on the staff of the South-erner should see Mr. Stevens. Girls Outnumber Bovs Office Records Show As is shown by the office of rec-ords of this school, the boys are out-number- ed by the girls. Thus it can be stated by the girls that they are the stronger sex, well, at least in numbers, anyway, there be-ing 970 girls to 863 boys. In comparing these figures with previous years, girls never before have exceeded the boys. We all know, this is due primarily to the war. In high school where the students go three years it is even more noticable. Now the girls of South high can be certain that there exists a man shortage, as is proven by these cruel and heartbreaking facts. South Gets New Roof; Obnoxious Odor For the past three weeks the Board of Education has been South high, in accordance with a requisition issued during the summer. B The former roof was the original one and wyas contracted to last for twenty years. The 'wieather has been extremely hard on the ma-terials since they were laid, so an entirely new roof has been con-structed. To insure the durability of the new composition the old roofing was removed. An asbestoes base was placed on as a first layer. Then a perforated asbestoes strippings were laid shingle- -style. These were sealed and covered with a tar surface, which produced the strange smell that filled the school. Mr. Jackson, head custodian of the building assisted the workmen sent by the Board of Education. Officers' School j Held By ROTC ; Under the supervision of Ser-geant Paul Redmond, the ROTC has become strictly G I this With year. actual army duty so close to many of South's boys,t hey are all more interested than ever be-fore in real army training, and they are getting just that. A group of senior boys are tak-ing officer's training between 7:15 and 7:50 each school morning. Be-cause oft his early schedule, there is a very large turnout. Social Arts Aspirants Learn Requirements Miss Mary Jane Hair, sponsor, of the Social Arts club, called Senior girls together Friday, October 8th at 7:30 in the Music room for the purpose of informing girls of the requirements for membership into this club. Social Arts is exclusive for Senior girls, and is the ambition of every Senior girl to be able to be in this club. "The requirements are very hard and only the select girls of the school are chosen," said Miss Hair. Only Senior girls who attended the candidates meeting last Fri-day are eligible, along with this the prospective girls will have to plan a definite type of party for 100 guests allowing only $10.00 for expenses. An essay entitled, "Why I want to be a Member of Social Arts," not exceeding 250 words, and not less than 200 words, must be written. All expenses must be ite-mized, samples of invitaton and plans for games on regulation type paper. These must be handed to Miss Hair before 9 o'clock Wednes-day morning, Oct. 20. These will be judged and winners notified of the meeting. Suggestion for types of parties will be posted in the library. When the official year begins, the Social Arts Club will meet every other Wednesday. The Get Acquainted party will start the social end of the year off followed by such well-know- n parties as the "Snow Frolic," "The Slumberless," and a large variety of others. Best Foot Forward" Chosen School Play Promising to be one of the most successful plays South has ever presented, "Best Foot Forward" is a three-ac- t comedy which moves with the swift pace of all George Abbott productions. A smash hit on Broadway, the hilarious show gave three hundred performances in the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in New York. it is aoout boys in the Winsocki Military Academy planning for their annual dance. The humorous incidents which the boys get into make for high entertainment. Tryouts for the parts of the ten boys and girls will be held sometime this week, the exact date to be announced later. "Everyone in the school is eligible to try out," Mrs. Genevieve Wilcox, dramatic director said. The play will be given some time in December. Assembly and Dance Mark Hello Day Cubs and Cubettes were given an opportunity of renewing old acquaintances and making new ones at South's Annual "Hello Day" last Tuesday. A talent assembly was held in which the girls and fellows sat in alternating seats in order to get better acquainted. Immediately after school, the "Hello Day" dance was held where students danced to the music of Ralph Byer and his "Kings of Swing." Cheerleader Tryouts To be Held Soon Try-ou- ts for cheer-leade- rs will probably be held sometime this week or next, Miss Dyer said. Three will be chosen by applause of the student body.
