XI; NO. 6. SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, JANUARY 23, 1942. Price Five Cents Red Cross Instructs Knitting Students SRAG,SAM Make Woolens For U. S. Army Spinning yarns and knitting sweaters for the American Red Cross, students at South high school are enthusiastically partici-pating in the nation-wid- e drive of the organization to provide sweat-ers, -- afghans and socks for the American soldiers who are active-ly fighting and training in camps. South Associated Men and South High Associated Girls are combin-ing their efforts in the drive. First lessons in the art of knit-ting were given by a Red Cross in-structor last week in the Commu-nity room. This first session with the needles was exclusively for the SHAG representatives who will later teach any student who wish-es to learn. Yarn for the sweaters is pro-vided by the Red Cross. However, knitters who are making afghans must purchase their own material. Office staff members have re-quested that all knitters curb their enthusiasm and "tend to their knitting." ' Monay Plans First Aid Course With the aid of several SHAG representatives, Miss Lucile Mo-nay, dean of girls, is mapping a course in intensive first aid train-ing. Parley 0. Davis, physiology in-structor, was scheduled to teach the classes, but inasmuch as he is preoccupied with other courses at the local Red Cross headquarters, he will be replaced. Miss Monay has not stated the identity of the new instructor. These classes will be open to all students who wish to take a comprehensive first aid course. Marjolet Hughes 'picks-u- p' Frank Everett's First 'dropped' Stitch Letter Voices Family9s Appreciation of 'Subs9 Salt Lake City, Utah January 4, 1942 Dear Subs for Santa: Mr and I. in the name of our five children, wish to extend our appreciation of your efforts in making our Christmas so happy. The chil-dren were thrilled with gifts that they had never dreamed of being able to enjoy. The Christmas you made pos-sible for us will long be remem-bered and we thank you one and all for your kindly efforts to make us happy. Very sincerely, Mrs Students Elect Table Hosts In Cafeteria Anticipating strong student sup-port, a fully organized club began host and hostess duties to approxi-matel- y two thousand students in the cafeteria last week. Presiding officer of the organi-zation is Mickey Gallacher, elected by the House of Delegates before the Christmas holidays. Assisting Mickey will be Frank Harrow, Jo-seph Bywater and Virginia George, period supervisors. They were se-lected by the Board of Control members together with 15 other students, who will act as section chiefs. Confidence in the project has been voiced by those chosen. They have been actively engaged in as-sisting hosts and hostesses at ta-bles in their respective sections. Actual hosts and hostesses, who have been chosen by their mealtime associates at each table, are follow-ing the lead of hotels, airships, etc. in establishing a feeling of wel-come and cooperation among their "guests." While no actual report has been rendered by Mickey, whose unoffi-cial observations have verified the fact that most students have re-sponded well to the plan of cafe-teria improvement, with very little indifference displayed, a more de-tailed observation will be forth-coming at a future meeting of the House of Delegates. S. K. Sentries Clear Halls Three South high school boys have been chosen to supervise the organizatfan of the Southern Knights during the fourth, fifth and sixth periods of the school day. Members of the Board of Con-trol are in charge of the move-ment to keep lockers safe and halls free from students and visit-ors who do not have permits. Frank Everett, who is in charge of fourth period, will be assisted by Eugene Bennett, .Clinton Bar-ker, Dick West, Dick Scott, Ken-neth Nealon, Dick North, Kay Spackman, Paul Ryan, Fred Weid-ne- r, Ray Parker, Tex Dix, Duane McGhie, Ralph Bowyer and Glen Ashworth. Mark Schwendiman heads fifth period with aids Tom Challis, Clar-ence Gainer, Albert Haehnel, Kaye Jensen, Morris King and Albert Loutencock. Directing sixth period is How-ard Eckersly. Working under his guidance are Carl Child, J3ert Wil-son, Sid Faldmo, Russ Mears, Bob Christensen, Bill Sayl, Charles Higgins and Glen Earl. Assembly Stresses Unity Between Rookies, Athletes South Associated Men stressed cooperation between athletes and 'rookies' in an assembly given by the council today. Aiding in demonstrating the theme of the program was a short skit given by the R 0 T C, planned by Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Keith Best. SHAG council members 'Jet down their hair' long enough to present an act which involved chatter about the boys. Musical entertainment was pro-vided by the following students' Ralph Beyer, harmonica selections; Keith Gustaveson, an Irving high school student, sonovox numbers; Donna Carlson, Mary Harmon and Jackie Anderson, vocal trio; Bob Lowder, Ogden high school stu-dent, violin. Last ten minutes of the program were utilized by cheer leaders, who conducted a short pep rally in hon-or of the opening basketball sea-son. Jack Lowder, S A M president, expressed his thanks to the R O T C battalion for "the fine cooper-ation they extended in making the program a success." Staff Re-Ope- ns Coupon Sales Picture coupon sales for the 1942 Southerner are scheduled to be opened again next week or in the very near future, according to an announcement by the staff. Busi-ness aids urge everyone who has not already purchased a coupon to do so in the two or three days which will be designated. Officially, the deadline for the purchase of the coupons ended De-cember 13. The demand from stu-dents who were working or other-wise financially unequipped at that time, however, caused the reopen-ing of sales. February 12 remains last date picture appointments may be made. Many new features will appear in the edition this year. Promin-ent among them will be uniformity of snapshots of student life. Local Chapters Sponsor Contest Daughters and Sons of the American Revolution will again sponsor the annual speech contests at South high school, February 20. Preliminary try-ou- ts will be con-ducted February 5. Graduating seniors are eligible for entrance in the contest. Sub-ject material may be of patriotic or historical nature. Speeches must be approximately five minutes long and will be judged by D A R and S A R members on originality, quality, general delivery skill, ease of per-formance, and forcefulness. A winner will be chosen from both divisions. A pendant and med-al were awarded to Margaret Kin-ney and Harold McNamara who at-tended a luncheon in their honor after presenting their winning es-says in last year's contest. Participation of e 1 i g i b 1 e s is urged by Miss Myrtle Harvey, su-pervisor of the contests. Local Red Cross Receive Funds Heeding the urgent call of the Red Cross for donations, South high school student body members contributed $287.00 to the nation-wide fund. An assembly illustrating the immediate need of contributions to the Red Cross started the ball roll-ing December 17 and little time lapsed before the money was roll-ing in also. Teachers, assembly participants and home room presi-dents pleaded the. cause of mercy which resulted in the generous sup-port given to founder Clara Bar-ton's international organization. For three days, commencing De-cember 17 and terminating Decem-ber 19, money was received in the school office from pupils who vol-untarily gave of their "pin" and "candy" money. Red Cross badges bearing the words "I Gave" were issued to those donating to the worthy cause. Similar reaction greeted the mercy call at East and West high schools. Clubs Present Evening Assembly School clubs were honored Jan-uary 15 at 8 o'clock, in the South high school auditorium when they presented three minute skits to the student body. Club skits were arranged to il-lustrate to students the purpose of each club. At 9 o'clock after the program the members marched to the gym in their costumes and attended a dance with their partners. Clubs were assigned to sections of the gym which were decorated to represent their club. Presidents of the clubs attended a meeting earlier to select the or-der of appearance on the program. Albin Gibbs' orchestra fur-nished music for the occasion. Poets Win National Poetry Contest Awards Recognition of award was given Betty Joy Cluff and Elaine Vin-cent by the National High School Poetry Association, an organiza-tion which sponsors national com-petition among aspiring high school poets. In a circular letter from the as-sociation, the contestants were thanked for their contributions and advised that their poems would be published in the annual anthology which is edited by the Nil SPA. Officials Announce Air Raid Signals Precautionary measures have been taken by city school officials in the event of an air raid. Instructions were issued to stu-dents by home room instructors. Signals were defined as follows: Bugle call get wraps and go to the lower floor. Bugle plus one long bell get wraps and if living within five blocks of school, go home. All re-maining students assemble on the lower floor of the building. The above rules are tentative and do not necessarily conform with air raid safety standards em-ployed by other city schools. Each school has devised certain raid sig-nals convenient to its locality. Anticipating New Interest, Scribes Rewrite Handbook No more 'read it and groan' for South high school students. Mem-bers of a newly formed handbook committee will soon begin work to make reading of the pamphlet a pleasure rather than a duty, ac-cording to Scribe Editor Doris Dib-ble, chairman of the committee. "We will attempt to replace sighs with chuckles," remarked Doris. While no masterpiece com-parable with Bob Hope's "You Got Me Covered" is expected, the com-mittee will do all within its power to make reading of the volume more widespread Committee members, who will dip their pens in laughing gas, are LaRene Carey, Milton Hollstein, and members of the Board of Con-trol. Consideration in revising the ed-ition will be given to handbooks re-ceived from other schools. This method was suggested in order to prevent a one-trac- k or one-scho- ol method of thinking. Humorous material will be edit-ed by Doris Dibble. Other com-mitteemen will rewrite the hand-book, and Miss Dyer will act as sponsor. Southerners Plan Irving Program South high school will present an assembly at the Irving lower di-vision high school' February 6 with President Stanley Smith and R O T C Lt. Col. Keith Best in charge. George R. Archibald, faculty member of the school, requested that the program be planned ac-cording to past patterns. Last year both the Junior Drill Team and Of-ficers' Saber team participated. The band, orchestra, and A 'Capella choir have been featured regularly. Keith Best will have charge of R O T C organizations which ap-pear, and Stan-- Smith will con-tact talent that will appear, and also act as master of ceremonies. In past years invitations to South for presentation of pro-grams have been extended by a number of lower division high schools. Major Burton Assists 'Chairmanship of Hop Officers of the South high school battalion of cadets recently elected Major Robert Burton to the posi-tion of assistant chairman of the annual Cadet Hop. Major Burton will assist Major Stanley Smith, assistant chairman last year and therefore automatic-ally chairman of this year's hop. ' These cadets, assisted by all of-ficers of the battalion, have in-augurated plans for the event un-der the supervision of Miss Wini-fred Dyer, assistant principal, and Sergeant James R. McNair, com-mandant. Journalists Receive Position On Scribe Students who succeeded from journalism classes to Scribe staff positions for the second semester are: Milton Hollstein, news editor; Bob Linde, art editor; Connie Kanell, copy editor; and Robert Jackson, circulation manager. |
