VICTOR Work, Rest, ; and Play Experienced by Cubs During Summer Holiday Southerners returned to South looking healthy, wealthy and happy as summer vacation came to an end. Browned skin, rosy cheeks from outdoor work and play blended with the pale color of the department store clerk as students resumed class work. Bob Story, who came back for a third year, spent most of his vacation working for Utah Power and Light Co. The rest of the time he divided between Marge Taylor and sleeping. If you ever need any painting done, call on Betsy Empey, She helped to paint a house. She relaxed the rest of the time, to prepare for school. Jesse Carter, that boy with a trumpet, work-- at Auerbach's. The rest of the time he well, you can guess what he did. Clarice Trogstad spent the summer in Arden's Dress Shop, selling clothes to the girls with money. She got a swell sunburn on her vacation up at Brighton. Pat Zwick and Gwen Lewis spent some time at a "cabin in the canyon." There they did dishes. Looking a picture of health and very happy from a worth while vacation Kenneth Renshaw spent his summer days working two months at Clearfield and he took a vacation to the coast. Highlight was when he saw the premier of "For Whom the Bells Toll." ' If Shirley Cohen's voice is slightly hoarce and her complexion has faded, don't think she has been ill. The lack of rosy cheeks and change of voice means nothing more than spending sum-mer vaction trying to sell articles in an up-town department store. Eugene Sorensen worked at the Iron works this summer. In the evening and early morning" he worked at other things. Both gave him rosy cheeks and a hearty smile. Introducing the Juniors Seniors of South ! This is to announce the arrival of sev-eral hundred students, the juniors, from Lincoln, Irving, Bryant, and Roosevelt. These new additions should give South more fun and talent. Speaking of talent, Joyce Hoskins, a blond form Irving, is an accomplished musician. She was awarded a scholarship to study piano at the University of Utah. She also likes sports, especially Swimming and tennis. Corlyss Connolly is the girl who's "5 feet 2, with eyes of blue." Coming from Lincoln, she's an outstanding singer. Her hobby is playing boogie woogie, though she says she does so vaguely. Getting clothes small enough for him is Buddy Morrison's trouble. Former Lincoln vice-preside- nt, he is enthusiastic about tennis and girls. He's looking for a girl little enough for him apply by calling Blond hair and blue eyes add up to Rozane Heninger. Her hob-bies are dancing and singing. She also playes the piano. She work-ed at the Dixie Shop, which might be the answer to where she gets all her clotes. Merlin Scott, former Irving prexy, is interested in the "B" foot-ball team. "Mutt," as his friends call him, did a lot of traveling this summer, 2500' miles, to be exact. He saw all of the United States and part of Canada. His hobby is getting the girl he dikes best. Hmm sounds like fun. Remember You're a Cub By La ,Rue Forsberg South has got to stay on top, On top of all the rest; So, therefore, you as South High cubs Must do better than the best! At times it may be hard to do; Your duties you may want to snub, But you simply have to see them through, JUST REMEMBER YOU'RE A CUB! Football's underway again; Get out and cheer South, bub; You may have something else to do, BUT REMEMBER YOU'RE A CUB! Give South your help in all it does, 'Cause kids you really are the hub; And there's a way to do it too, PLEASE REMEMBER YOU'RE A CUB! Advice from the editor: "Never worry about the walls having ears, because the walls are plastered and wouldn't hear straight anyway." Good Times, Not Cars Count With Dated Girls Listen, fellows, this editorial is for you. Take it for what it's worth, whether it be advice, a plea, or a reprimand. It seems that most of the boys around the school have the unfounded idea that girls don't want to go out on a date with a fellow who doesn't have a beautiful car. Since the war has brought a limitation on cars, tires, and gasoline, lots of boys decline to ask girls for dates and both sit home. Fellows and girls will miss a lot - of fun, especially now that school has started, unless some drastic change comes in the attitudes of these boys. All of the girls interviewed on the subject were willing either to walk or ride the bus. Sev-eral girls even said that they thought it was fun to go on the bus, "especially with a certain someone," one added. Another girl said that she had to turn down a boy who waited until the night before a dance to ask her just because he "wasn't sure of getting a car," and "Just be-cause they " can't use their wolfish back seat tactics in a bus!" (If boys continue to run true to form, lack of a back seat won't stop them from practicing their "never-fail- " systems). Boys would certainly not respect a fellow who chose his boy friends by their cars and money. Why should they think that that's the way girls coose their boy friends ? Just because Uncle Sam has put his foot dawn, there's no reason why we can't enjoy our-selves. Ask your "special" regardless of car status, and prove to each other that you really can have a" good time anyway. Early Rising, Extra Work Make Up School Life .... These rooky officer candidates getting up long before the faint glow of dawn, staggering sleepily to school and into officers' schoofalmost an hour before the eight o'clock class begins. Then the valiant struggle to stay awake during the instruction with the com-fori- ng thought of forty winks during one of he early classes. Yes, these fellows really are earning their commissions, but sometimes we wonder . . . . These guys who drive their model A's to school even though they have to crank and push sometimes to get them started. They use up all their gas stamps and then put the cars up on blocks. For the courage, strength and stamina these fellows put into their cranking and pushing, they deserve mention. .... The people who stand in line waiting to see Miss Dyer or the deans. Often they miss part or all of a lovely Trig, or English class. Imagine having to miss a Trig, class. Terrible, eh? For the poor souls who forfeit their lovlier classes sympathy. Beastly Bulging Bags Bring Bellowing Boos from Boys "I'm sure it's right in here." So digs into a purse the size of an overnight bag like an archeologist rummaging for ancient pottery. Af-ter half an hour's excavating she comes up with such typical things as: keys, at least two lipsticks, "a compact, her cards (that includes activity, social security, weight registration, library, etc.), school notes with fancy doodles, from one to a handful of bobby-pin- s, two combs, three hair clips, four Kleen ex, three pencils, a fountain pen, $1.50, a book of student tickets, stamp books, snapshots, a blotter, a hanky, a mirror, finger-na- il file, perhaps polish, two erasers, an empty envelope, a letter from her "O and 0," an empty gum wrap-per, and about one and one-ha- lf sticks of gum. When the investigation has end-ed and her lap is full of odds and ends of every sort,, she finds that she left what she is looking for in her red purse at home. A bag-to-b-ag campaign,, refer-ring to the sort carried in the hand, uncovered items only odd enough to be found in a woman's posses- - sion. There was a Willkie button, no grudges, mind you, ,but a good luck token. The explanation for a small empty box was, "I might need it sometime." The American flag, made of paper, demonstrat-ed its owner's patriotism. Paper punches will come in handy at times, so a few carried them. A Science Pocket-Guid- e was taking up precious space in a small purse. A picture of movie star keeps one of the fairer sex smiling. Metal hair curlers were part of the para-phernalia "toted" around. In case her memory failed her at a cru-cial moment, an insignia book of the armed forces laid at one side of a handbag. Numerous others fought for first place, but the prize of them all was, of all things, ,a bottle of GREEN fingernail polish. The girls laugh at the junk weighing down the boys' pockets, but from now on, one look at a brown, red, yellow, black, green, white, or assorted purse will bring sly smiles to masculine faces. They know what's inside, and they can't top it! Bonds or Bombs? Students in high school don't see the actual fight, the bombs and destruction, yet they real-ize that the war is all about them. It's every-where at the neighbor's house where a mother prays for her boy in uniform. It's on every bus you ride where men and women are going to work in a local war plant. In fact, it's so much a part of everyone's life, that even at school the great goal of victory is being worked toward continually. So come on students, your best is not enough! Remember, it's for you! That's My Opinion The question has been asked, "How much time should a student spend on studies?" One reply was: "One hour a night, and no more, for all classes combined." Another student said, "Fifty-eig- ht minutes, because its so much fun to cheat the teachers out of two minutes." And then, there's the student who says, "My mother makes me study at least one-ha- lf hour every night even Saturdays and Sundays." That's one way to get an education. I believe that studies should be adjusted to fit the daily program. Some classes require more xtra time for home-wor- k than others. A student should realize just how much studying time is needed to successfully pass a course, and ar-range work and outside activities to conform with these studies, after all, studying is a benefit only to the student who is willing to make the effort. Every student wants to be a successful one, I have never yet seen a successful student who didn't study. By Helen Tate In my estimation the introduction of 8 o'clock classes in high school is a desirable step to show the patriotism of the Salt Lake City Board of Education. The teachers are cooperating whole-heartedly with this as well as the students. Many students are taking advantage of these classes where they would have lost a unit of credit towards graduation or college. It will be nmmon to see students in their classes studying on these dark winter mornings by electric light. These classes in prepared and other subjects are our contribution to the war effort. By Russell Cannon. Did you hear about the little moron who left his door open so no one could peek through the keyhole? Or the moron who thought he's have plenty of shoes because he'd planted shoe trees in his Victory garden? Or the moron who put his will in his watch so he could wind up Tils affairs ? Or the moron who thought a meadow lark was a party in the country ? Or the moron who thought only girls would read this? "Crib" on Door Does Not Apply Someone with a sense of humor has pulled the wool over the eyes of the Scribe staff. The office, below the south ramp, had the word "Scribe" on the door. Someone took off the s and e, which left "crib." Staff-membe- rs then found a new meaning. The office is a crib for the baby journalists of South. P. S. The s and e will be put back soon. |
