The opinions are printed below. These comments are not meant as criticisms, but are only personal opinions of stu-dents who feel that South could be improved in these ways. If anyone has a desire to submit comments for use in this column, take them to the Scribe office. "TANK turned out so swell Saturday night, that I am sure it will be a success. It's a good place to go to have a lot of fun without spending a lot of money." Don Lefavor. "I think the assemblies as far as they go are good, but we could have more professional talent such as boxing matches, etc." Buddy Morrisson. "I think we could have more dances, but not student body dances. Haye more that are or-ganized by clubs 'cause they're better." "The conduct in the cafeteria, in my opinion, .could be improv-ed if students would sit down-whe- n they eat, rather than walk around." Ilaida Nebeker. "SHAG is a good organization. They should hade more things in which girls, besides SHAG rep-resentatives, can participate. They should let students know what's going on and then the girls would help. Kids have good ideas, but they can't let the representatives know about them." Donna Roberts. buthcribe.

Jean Timms bade her boy-friend Ralph Martin of the Sig-nal corps farewell when he left for Florida. Carole's trying terribly hard to persuade Kirk to tell her where he gets those luscious permanents. But whenever she mentions it he only has to utter the word "mercurochrome" and she drops the subject. I wonder why? Why is it that some of South's "Big Boys" think East girls have something South's girls haven't? We're trying to find out now what leaves Donna Jo Hansen and Marlene Peacock with such severe suntans each Monday morning. We know Barbara Morris fell asleep under a sun-lamp a couple of weeks ago. Jo-An- ne Blackledge has given up her boyfriend to the Navy. While skiing at Alta, Ruth Han-sen and Helen Edling both be-came invalids for awhile. Ruth injured her knee, and Helen sprained her ankle. As a mat-ter of fact, there were several victims of ski accidents this month. It became a familiar sight to see them limping down the halls. Speaking of accidents, Cal Miller injured his leg in gym a while ago. Anna Joy Bushmann is wear-ing a beautiful diamond given her by Toby Corderey. Another of South's bonny Larrabee, receiv- - ed a diamond recently. To be exact ... on St. Patrick's Day, while her fellow (Kenny Loin of the U.S. Navy) was home on leave. Kaye Cutler is going steady with a T. B. (and I don't mean a certain disease.) He gave her a lovely orchid for her birthday. Paul T. (he refused to tell me his last name) thinks Mary Thorpe is quite the cute li'l gal, and dated her for Granite's Junior Prom. Have you noticed the custo-mary Monday morning orchid on Shirley Walgren's shoulder lately? Many of these are from Sherbyn Meredith. What goes on? Someone should tell Jack M. that making a practice of be-coming engaged isn't so wise. At least give your girl's (or girls' feelings a little consid-eration ! Come on, Jeannine and Jack. Can't you two settle that little minunderstanding? Well, I've got to get back and see what happened to Flat Top. See you next time. DAFFY CLUB. Personality Plus Is Found in Cubs Everyone agrees that South has her share' of engaging students with wonderful person-alities. Proof of this is seen by reading below the interests of four students, two seniors and two juniors. Betsy Empey, a senior, is a black haired, hazel-eye- d gal with a grin-raisin- g personality. Born on June 24, 1927, this concentrated bun-dle of dynamite is 5 ft. 6 in. Betsy believes in doing her best for the war effort as she ( has three brothers in the ser-- W rill vice, including Clair Empey, 1 14feA South alum of '43, she likes ' KHlfc I wear dresses better than IJfwJ skirts and sweaters. Her fav-- WiSW orite fruits are oranes and lSfH ' bananas, and her favorite IL ? clr s blue. She likes shows and tennis, and summer is the season she likes best. Frank Sinatra is really good according to her, but Bing is much better. "Stormy Weather" is her favorite song and she likes Count Bassie's orchestra. Her favor-ite actor is Alan Ladd. When asked what she thought of boys, she snickered.. Sounds like fun ! Leon Hag en, also a senior, was born April 14, 1927. This boy is interested in stamps and athletics. His favorite sport is basketball. He seems to like things that are to get, because bananas steaks are his favorite He likes music very and he plays the flute Shard band. His favorite song and Day,", and Dorsey gets his vote for band. His only comment Frank Sinatra is, "He i Lana Turner is his favorite actress. Red is his favorite color, and spring is the season he likes best. After graduation, Leon wants to become an engineer. And if all people say about him is true, he will be one. Born on Nov. 27, 1828 Virginia Larsen, sis of one of South's lieutenant colonels, is a green-eye- d blond. This junior has big plans for the future, for she wants to be a stewardess, and she wants to go to Mill's College in Cal-ifornia. She likes pineapples ' t&mtsm, an aPPles and almost any-- L thing else. She likes skirts and iT k5 blouses and boys. (What girl fegS 1 doesn't?) Her main hobby is f I ttf I music. She plays the accordian fJV ir and she sPecianzes in serm" fJf classical music. "I Couldn't lJr Sleep a Wink Last Night" is her favorite song, and she " , likes Roy Palmer's orchestra. Virginia likes Frank Sinatra, but she prefers Bing. She admits she loves South, and she likes all the kids. (Sweet, isn't she?) Pink is the color she likes best, and spring is her favorite season. Tennis, basket-ball, and swimming are her favorite sports. She takes swimming lessons at the YWCA. She works in the Paris on Saturday, where she is a clerk. Good luck, Virginia, at South and Mill's College! Bob Haaga, a junior, was born on April 23 1928. His telephone number is 54 (take note, girls), and his address is 333 Sherman avenue. This boy was chosen cadet of the week a while ago. For his future vocation, he's cho-sen the army. He likes broiled steaks and pears. His hobby is jgirls' nd with a face like ! 'f' his, he can do it. As he plays pS(S the trumPet' Bob likes Harry M James' orchestra, and his fav-- lyiliP j orite song is the "Trumpet &Wf , Blues." He likes to watch base- - f ball, but he isn't particularly . fond of Playin- - Bob attended I W Lincoln and Irving, but he liked Lincoln the best. When asked what he thought of Frank Sinatra, Bob said, "He's pretty good, except he stinks 1" (More boys feel that way!) His favorite ac-tress is Lana Turner. (Her again. Say, what's she got that no one else has?) These glimpses of some students who at-tend South will assure everyone that South has it's share of students with background and per-sonality plus. Mary's Little Lamb By Maxine Snow Mary had a little lamb. She thought he was so sweet. (So did ration pointless neigh-bors, lacking tasty meat.) He followed her to school one day, The neighbors followed, too. With lusty eyes and gun in hand, What were they going to do? Poor Mary did not think that they Could ever be so cruel As to stalk her Lambikins On their way to school. She walked inside with Lamby, too: But still they lingered near ; More determined now than ever, Waiting without fear. As Mary summed up two and two, And found that it made four, Her Lambikins solved other I problems, Sitting by the door. He figured if he studied hard But when he looked outside. And when he saw the murd'rers there, He almost could have cried. He knew what they were plan-ning. (He was wise as lambs can be) And luckily for Lambikins, Mary, too, could see. She jumped up from her desk Caring not what teacher said For it was better far, she thought, To get a D than find Lamby dead. She shook her fist and stamped her feet And cried out with alarm. Weren't they ashamed to even think To cause her Lamby harm? The people stared and silent stood. Their attitude had changed. They disregarded all the bloody Plans they had arranged. For, after all, though meat was scarce,' They would not kill her lamb. Instead, for dinner, all they had Was butterless toast and jam. Dog-About-To- wn Who said dags are dumb animals? A few Yiornings ago while riding to school, I wa surprised, as were my friends sitting near me, to see a little black, curly-haire- d dog of no particular breed come walking briskly to the back of the bus. After givirfg each person near him a careful "once over," he found an empty seat (lucky dog!) and promptly jumped into it. The girl sitting next to him proved interest-ing for awhile, and he tried his level best to become better acquainted. But since she only responded to his friendly sniffs and vigorous tail-waggi- ng with a couple of pats on the head, he gave her no more of his attention, and in-stead settled down for a comfortable ride. The buzzer was pulled a number of times after that, and each time our little canine com-panion jumped up and peered intently through the window at our stopping place. Apparently deciding that this was not the place for him to get off, he settled down again and attempted a dognap. About the third or fourth stop, after care-fully noting his bearings, he walked matter-of-factl- y to the front of the bus, and stepped out of the door with the other passengers. (In case you're curious, he got off at Lincoln jun-ior high.) I don't think he was on his way to school, although I shouldn't doubt it of such a dogabout-tow- n. He certainly seemed to know his way around. Perhaps he was on his way to see a lady friend of his. I noted that the adventurous little fellow stood there on the corner for a while after we left him; perhaps only waiting for the traffic light to change. But I do wish I could see him just once more. I believe I'd ask him if he realized he didn't pay his fare. ' When Mary finished the ordeal and sat down to read, she began to think, "Have I done everything right?" If she had made the slightest slip-u- p it would mean failure. Look-ing around, Mary saw for the first time what the room looked like. With the fury of a tor-nado she began to remove all evidence that in- - dicated a struggle. Her face under the flaming red hair was full of fear of failure. What would people say if she were exposed. She said to herself, "Will I be a woman enough to stand up before my husband and admit I am a fail-ure? And if I do succeed, will I be able to keep the secret of the fears I have had this day locked in my soul?" She rose to her feet and paced around the room. Again fear of failure and criticism raced through her mind. She could stand it no longer! She raced the distance of the room, and threw open the door. She breathed a sigh of relief it was perfect. Her first cake was a success ! Glenna Thompson |
