Second Lieutenant Ray J. Blom-quis-t, of the class of '38, received his pilot's silver ,win;gs and offi-cer's commission last Oct. 1, at fsjtockton Field, California. The ifaculty remem-bers this son of South as a cap-tain in the R. O. T. C. L.t. Blom-qui- st entered the armed forces Nov 21, 1942, and took his primarv and Lt. Ray J. basic training a Blomquist Santa Maria and Minter Fields in California. Out of his graduating class of 250 cadets, the Lieutenant was choosen as one of the three boys to remain at Stockton Field and be an instructor for two-motor- ed trainers. The twenty-tw- o year old officer was married in 1941 to the former Miss Echo Gudmunsen. The couple make their home in Stockton. Pfc. Louis Owen, '42, is now stationed at Camp Bowie, Texas, where he is doing clerical work for the Tank Destroyers, of the Field Artillery. Pvt. Owen was inducted in March, 1943. While at South he took part in all school activities, including the school play. At Bowie, has had experience w'th the famed "bazooka." Louie says, "The roll call at Bowie reads like a South high roster, there are so many of the school's alumni there." Fashions for Indian Summer Feature Many Styles, Colors Highlighting South's feminine parade this fall are long-sleeve- d sweaters and skirts. Short-sleeve- d sweaters, however, are mak-ing a swift comeback and are running sloppy joes and cardigans a close race for lead. Bright colors, featuring red, Kelly green, royal blue, and purple are contrasted by lovely pastel shades of pink, baby blue, pale yellow and green. Plaid and solid color skirts are equally popular and are worn with sweaters of mixed or matching shades. Short bobs are still bouncing on the majority of feminine heads. "They're easier to take care of than long hair," the gals say, "and soft pin curls look neater than stringy locks." Pigtails . and pinned-u- p make for variety when the weather is warm, or when style permits. South's girls are fastening dainty artificial flowers in their hair and are agreeing that they add just the right touch to most hair styles. White and yellow daisies are most common, but when other colors are needed to match their outfits, clever Cubettes use blue, pink, or red flowers in small clusters. In spite of Uncle Sam's leather rationing, both boys and girls are sporting new foot-wea- r. Sandals, hurachas, and cloth play-sho- es are supporting busy students' feet. Penaljos, real Indian moccasins, and saddle oxfords are popular since they can be worn with all colors. In past years some colored shoes such as blue and green were worn with special out-fits, but shoe rationing has given way to more practical ideas. When the new stamp becomes valid (November 1) they will be exchanged for low oxfords and pumps to keep the "dogs" warm and dry when winter winds blow. All in all, sensible styles keep high school students looking, feeling, and being dressed well. Squash, Dancing, Teaching, Liked By Miss Walker Miss Virginia Walker, of South's gym department, really enjoys teaching high school students, be-cause, "even if they're not anxious to, they can learn quickly," School, dancing, farming, and participating in civic activities keep Miss Walker's every moment full. Her education includes courses at the U. of U., the B. Y. U., the U. S. A. C, and the university at Greeley, Colorado. She has, at one time or another, taught all grades from kindergarten to college, and likes to teach them all. "College is one of my favorites," she said, because they are so decided as to their courses in life." Dancing one of her many ac-complishments, accentuates her grace, and she loves to do it. She has a small group of dance stu-dents who entertain or demonstrate for interested audiences. Creative work is a talent she tries to de-velop in her gym classes. Her very favorite topic of con-versation is farming. She cultivates a Victory garden she is proud of. Miss Walker has a different plot, though, for she specializes in squash. She has any kind of squash one could want. Her garden is full of curfiques and lovely lines." She likes the picture of her squash and flowers together, "Because they make such nice dance designs," she explained. A great agricultural tragedy was when her apple crop froze. A mass of white blossoms failed to mature because of the early cold spell. Miss Walker is very emphatic upon the art of social dancing, which she no longer considers an art. She believes the dance floor is a place to make friends, and not to display emotions. She expressed a desire to help South catch up with the nation by reviving the old folk dances. This year Miss Walker's gym classes are going to be busy danc-ing, exercising, and playing games to perfect the poise and the health of her girls. "Who's the girl with the French heels?" "That's my sister, but those boys aren't French." Jackson Journal WHEN TO "DATE" A WOLF By Hairum Scarum In simple self-defen- se a should decline girl to "date" a fellow or to be "dated" until he succeeds in passing her social "placement" test. She can give the test hersel. if she will read "Gentlemen Aren' Sissies." She can be a "line" ahead of him every time he opens his mouth. If he does not "rate" high enough, suggest that he do some home work on "Gentlemen Aren't Sissies." He'll never leave it, once he starts. For herself, the well-poise- d young lady reads "Personality Un-limited," which has won nation-wide popularity among women. Groups buy these books and pass them around until they are worn out. The Deseret Book Company has both of them. PARKS THE JEWELER 55 W. So.
