XIII, NO. 3 SALT LAKE CITY' UTAH FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1945 Price Five Cents SAM Sponsors Barnival Tonight Annual Barn Dance to Entertain 3000 Dressed once again in the familiar "duds" of their pio-neering ancestors, Southern-ers will cavort at the annual SAM Carnival where they will jump and jive to the mu-sic of Saul Betnam in the boys' gym. Barn dancing is just one of the treats in store for students, Mr. Hale, dean of boys, said. Other attractions are a shooting gallery, bowling, handwriting expert, for-tune telling, dart throwing, mov-ies (comedy), and many others. One of the highlighted events of the evening will be the produce drawings in the auditorium, where the main prize is a turkey! Unlike the past, this year's Barn Dance will be minus the yellow Thanksgiving straw, for the dust collects in the ventilating system and results in a laborous task for the hard-to-g- et custod-ians. After the carnival, students will have the choice of either dancing in the boys gym, or see-ing a full length motion picture in the, auditorium. The frolic is under the direc-tion of the SAM officers, Jerry Dalebout, Morris Kjar, and Kent Lund, Morris Waters, and Kent Peterson. Admission is 25 cents or an ac-tivity card. Pistol Packiri Mama Practicing up for the shooting gallery at the Barn Dance, Gwen Lewis threatens Bruce Goates, while Jerry Dalebout tries to prevent drastic action.

Meeting On Wednesday evening, November 17, the tables were turned at South High. This eventful evening was "Back To School" night, when the students' mothers and fathers were invited to become members of South's student body. The students' mothers and fathers came to school and occupied the students' desks and puzzled over the lessons prepared for them, while the students re-mained at home and, if necessary, walked the floor with the baby, and put Junior to bed, or maybe read the younger ones some bed-time stories. This new experience proved interesting for both par-ents and students. A post card was sent to the parents, on which each student wrote his daily program, for his parents to follow, and perhaps had to draw a diagram so that these new "freshmen" wouldn't lose their way around the building, or enter the wrong classes. It wouldn't do for mom or dad to be marked down for sluffing. The evening commenced at 8:00 p. m. when the "students" met in the auditorium for an assembly conducted by Miss Winifred Dyer, Mr. Woolf, and Mrs. Stephen Gill-mor- e, P T A president. Each parent was then instruct-ed to go to the advisory period, ) and from there, to each of the classes that are daily attended by his son or daughter. This en-abled the parents to become, ac-quainted with the teachers, and with the activities that are car-ried on in the school. Imagine mother or dad trying to solve problems in geometry, or to give a talk in Spanish, or to take dictation, or to type. They also discussed the prob-lems of their adolescent boys and girls, and the teachers answered queries the parents put to them. Since the report cards were cir-culated that day, students' marks were probably a popular topic of discussion. ' Social Arts Girls Meet at Party "Know Your Neighbor" will be the theme of the get acquainted party to be given by the Social Arts Club of South High on No-vember 24, 1943 in the girls' gym after school. This will be their first party and will start their yearly activities out with a bang. The invitations are replicas of our allied countries of this war, and besides becoming acquainted with each other, the girls will have a chance to familiarize them-selves with our Allies. This party will be under the direction of Cherrel Jacobsen with the help of the club's sponsor, Miss Mary Jane Hair, and a com-mittee made up of the following girls: Joyce Hunt, Peggy Hymas, Shirle Jacobsen, Elaine Johnson, Ruth Krebs, Beverly Lamborne, Gloria Larch, Gwen Lewis, Melva Lloyd, Carol Lundgren, Ardeth Lym, Lucille Madsen, Margie Maughn, and Susan McCarrel. War Chest Drive Goes Over $239 Going over the top of their War Chest quota of $114, South stu-dents contributed ?2 39.86 to the worthy cause, twenty-fiv- e dollars gi which was donated by the Board of Control. The War Chest is a compilation of thirty-seve- n different fund agencies, twenty of which are com-munity agencies. These include such organizations as the USO, Army and Navy Reliefs, Greek War and Russian War Reliefs, and the Community Chest. This year the money donated will go into the winning of the war. It will help to buy food for the starving people in the occupied countries and it helps to pay for the USO amusements which our boys enjoy at home and at the front. Miss Josephine Sherman's home room class excelled with their donation which was $11.06. Mrs. Estelle Christensen's room came in a close second with $10.00 as their contribution. Midgets Win, 6-- 0; Juniors Tie East Writing "finis" to a successful season, the South high "B" and "C" teams kept the Cubs in the running for the city title, when the "B" squad tied East 7-- 7 and the Cub midgets beat East "C", 6-- 0. Lyle Koller sparked tihe "B" team drive by scoring first, but the South juniors were unable to hold the Leopards later on in the contest. Bill Bryan, substitute fullback for Tate Wardell's eleven, ran 65 yards off tackle to score in the third period for the Midgets. Carstensen, Staff Begin Work On Restricted Yearbook Taking over this new position of year book editor, Joe Carstensen said that even though war time has placed many restrictions on it, the year book will still have the high standards which gave it a National Scolastic Press Associa-tion rating of All-Americ- an last year. Because of the shortage of en-graving materials and films, the yearbook pictures will be cut down to 50 per cent of last year, and the book it-self will be cut down to 60 per cent of its last year size. Al-though this will necessitate the taking of the ju-nior pictures in groups, it will not affect the se nior pictures. "The junior pictures will be Hnct as eood or if ;l ' , y sponsors, said to the Board of Control. He also said that none of the features such as "Student Life," clubs, etc., which gave in-terest to the yearbook would be cut out, but that all of them would be shortened. Other members of the staff be-sides Joe are: Gloria Taylor, busi-ness manager; Jeano Companaro, Ken Hillam, and Douglas McEwan, photographers; Marilyn and Rose-ly- n Woodward, ry editors, and Wayne Parkin, sports editor. The advertising staff is Audrey Ostler, Adelaide Jarvis, Gloria Larch, Ross Bradsgawm and Rene Rigby. The art staff has not yet been chosen. better than last Joe Carstensen I.. year's," Mr. Walter Stevens, school trpasnrer and one of the yearbook Spanish Study Entices Cubs For the first time in the his-tory of South high school the stu-dents engaged in Spanish studies have been brought to a closer realization of the importance of mastering to the best of their ability this language. The effects that this global war will make on the post-w- ar period has made this so, according to Mrs. Hickman, Spanish teacher. In a class discussion, students gave their reasons for taking Spanish, and how they think they will benefit by it. One draft age student's views are that Spanish will help him in almost any branch of the armed forces he goes into. Another student said, "During the post-w- ar period, our commer-cial relations with South America will require a great number of Spanish-speakin- g personnel to act as representatives in South Am-erica for companies in the United States." Many students are look-ing forward to trips through South America made possible by highways now being built for mo-tor commerce. Mrs. Hickman concluded that we cannot obtain the South Am-erican's confidence unless we are able to talk in his language, and that to be able to talk the lan-guage and understand the customs of our neighbors to the South may aid ' in our obtaining a lasting peace.
